but Christ look around

I mean someone had to take charge

we were in charge you weren't love

best will in the world

Kai Mahangal Griffith and Douglas will get off somehow

some loophole we all know it

you know I don't get you either

Griffith was a better dad to you than your dad

you should be raging front of the bloody queue

why'd you marry me then

hmm not one of them

because

cause I didn't love any of them

I bet you've had a good laugh though

Paul Owen doesn't have a clue

no

cause you're my man

and that's not changed

anyway you knew

I suspected

that's different

you suspected

we had sex

we argued about whose turn it was to change and happy

that's our life and it's great

and none of that has to change

I have to get to the hall alright but listen to me

you're gonna be important today

you're not in anyone's shadow anymore

people of Saint Georgie your attention please

please make your way to the village hall immediately

the killer of Kai Prigo has been found

the killer of Clyde Beagle has been found

his hands still wet with the blood of our friend

the Griffin Crosser

the True Wave has assumed control of the situation

but justice is a collective act

so make your way to the village hall

as quickly as you can

I'm so sorry to interrupt you

go get your things

oh

yeah

Grace

Grace

what's going on

that they're saying that Douglas killed Kai

and then now he's killed Griffin

what are you all doing here

are you okay seriously

what the actual fuck is happening

where is Douglas

huh you have to go please

all of you you have to go home listen

they're saying you killed Kai

they're saying he's here big one

I made an arrest earlier that's all I can say right now

no don't fuck me off with this shit Grace

not again is he here guys

Jesus Christ what

you have to take a storm you'll need it later

I'm not taking one what are we gonna do with these

are we gonna storm somewhere I need to find Heather

don't just um

it's not safe just stay with me

please

oh

you came

good

oh

you have to stop this Heather

no one is getting executed today

no one

that's what the plan is isn't it

Douglas becomes the Holly King

and you've thrown him down that pit

no one can say that

we didn't give your way of thinking a chance

but hand on heart Grace

you cannot guarantee me that Douglas won't be acquitted

or that

his punishment won't be a fraction of what he deserves

that's a risk you take

by being part of a civilized society

you can't be a civilized society

with murderers on the street

I don't suppose you got a man to do

how long do you think you've got left alive

I mean

there are some variables

see your last act before you tap out

is to make everyone on this island

an accessory to murder

I don't think there's gonna be a reckoning

if that's what you mean

or are you planning on killing me too

why on earth would we do that

oh cause you're gonna tell the world

we'll see you might surprise yourself

the energy you are wasting

Grace

this is happening engage with it or I don't know

go for a walk listen

you listen to me I am your police sergeant

my job is to uphold the law

you police by consent and we withdraw our consent

oh you could advocate for him if you like

there'll be a vote at the end

you might persuade the islanders to let him stand trial

on the man

this is a Lynch mob

I'm not gonna join in and legitimize it

then he'll die

yeah

I don't know

today

is a lot isn't it

a lot to process

some of you will have just discovered

a loved one is a member of

of the true way

there will be time to address that

I promise but first

we need to decide what to do about Douglas Carisford

so we now know that on September 1st last year

after an argument with his father

Kai

Priedo came into contact with the Reverend Carisford

we don't know what took place between them

but sometime later

Douglas attempted to flee to the mainland

and there were no further sightings of Kai

until a year later when his naked body was found

in the old lookout shelter

a post mortem concluded that Kai froze to death

meaning

he was still alive when he was locked in that shelter

but a satellite picture showed me hangled

Pugh's car beside the shelter

at the time of Kai's death

before he could be questioned

the hangar kills himself and hours later

his corpse is desecrated

then earlier today

Griffith finds Kai's backpack at the church

and Douglas stabs him repeatedly

and as he is dying to stop Douglas escaping

Griffith handcuffs them together

so the Reverend Carisford sores off Griffith's hand

he is quickly arrested by Sergeant Narion

and Constable Parry alright

so

let's leap forward to Douglas's trial on the mainland

what do we think his defence will say

well

then start off with some character assassination

oh not of Douglas

of Kai an innocent crush on his babysitter

will be presented as something grubby

sinister

it's not relevant sure

but the defenses point is

to erode the jury's sympathy for the victim

Kai was already in distress

when he arrived at the vicarage

they might say he wanted to hurt himself

Douglas had to intervene

and Kai was accidentally knocked out

and they'll hit that word accident over and over again

rooting it in the jury's mind

and then there's the expert witnesses

huh they will explain

now Douglas can't be held accountable for his actions

he was in shock by now

Kai has been passed on to me hanger

why didn't he check that Kai was dead

before he dumped him in that shelter

and the desecration of his body wife

that

was Douglas's righteous rage against Kai's murderer

not the actions of a guilty man

trying to deflect blame onto an innocent group

because yes

Mehangel was a member of the true way

I wish I could tell you that he wasn't

I wish I knew why he he did what he did

but you can ask any member of the True Way here today

and they will tell you that

Mccandle's actions were

no more reflective of our faith

than Douglas's were of Christianity

Ho ho

and then there's Griffith

ho oh

they will talk about his temper

about his drinking

why just the other day he stormed into Grace's bedroom

and punched a hole through her wardrobe

the next thing you know

he's conducting illegal searches

he finds Kai's backpack and then he attacks Douglas

who kills him in self defense why

because

Grace has let everyone to believe that there is a

there is a fanatical cult loops on the island

oh ho

ha ha he's already taken that excuse for a spin

so now he is handcuffed to a member of a cult

his body's survival mode kicks in

and that is why he sawed off Griffith's hand and fled

lie upon lie

upon lie

there was a time when conventional justice worked

when the objective was to decipher

not to win

I miss that time

don't you

this is insane

this is wrong

one thing Heather didn't mention

the plan is to execute Douglas

I'm not talking a lethal injection

or a gun to the back of the head

they're gonna throw him down that pit

he will pinball down and break every bone in his body

if he survives he will lay at the bottom

and die a slow and agonizing death

like my son like Kai

that's kind of my point

I think

we should strive to be better than the man who killed

Kai

I'll tell you something else

you don't wanna hear everything Heather just said

that disingenuous manipulative word salad

it might be true

10% of it might be true

Douglas has the right to have it heard

as would you

regardless of how well she sells it

what Heather wants

isn't a more reliable form of justice

but a total rejection of it

because justice

it isn't just a result it's a process

I'm not gonna pretend that the law is perfect

it's like a dam

there are cracks there are leaks

but without it we drown

I don't know you're not here by choice

are you Grace or on Saints Jewellery

I mean Grace's transfer

here is what's called a punishment posting

she reported two of her colleagues for beating up a man

recently acquitted of sexual assault

why he was acquitted

because his victim had a previous conviction

for shoplifting when she was a student

his defense argued that made her testimony unsound

that's right isn't it Grace

remember character assassination

I don't know I wasn't on the jury

it wasn't his first offence

so was it

there was a previous attack that never made it to trial

or at least that's what you told a packed pub

the other night

suppose

he had been incapacitated after the first attack

what would have happened to the second victim

I'm not gonna speculate about something I have no idea

the answer is there wouldn't have been a second victim

Douglas the same question to you

now there

oh my god what is wrong with you

just stop Douglas

Douglas Douglas

why did you come to ST George

I'm not doing this I'm

I'm not doing this Grace just said

you should have a chance to put your case forward

this is it

why are you here

I fell in love with one of my parishioners

where I worked before I've never made a secret of that

but it didn't work out so I came here for a fresh start

this woman you fell in love with

what was her name

Rachel

Rachel

something I've always wanted to say to you Douglas

you have a beautiful smile

now how would I

how would I describe that smile

I would say it was like a rainbow

we're too cheesy

please oh please

have you heard that before

please please don't

don't do this these letters were found in your house

all of them signed from Rachel first

she's been used at you wanting to communicate like this

and not by text or WhatsApp

ha ha she says she hates her handwriting

please don't have

she talks about how exhausting her family are

about a film she saw but how much she loves kissing you

but how your smile is like a rainbow

get a bigger love letter basically

old fashioned

romantic

what and then

she talks about how nervous she is

about going into year 8

oh no

no please

please please

please you're making a mistake

don't do after two months

her letters become more graphic

as she describes having sex

in your living room in a parents living room

Rachel was 12 years old at the time

did Kai find these is that why you attacked him

the church knew that they did nothing

he was allowed to pack his suitcase and comes here

unless we act now

Douglas will be free to offend over and over again

just as your rape is did

can you see the pattern yet of your failure

of the law's failure

these men are cancerous cells

they cannot be counseled they cannot be cured

they need to be cut out

when will you stop protecting these predators

and start protecting us

all right all right

all right

thank you all right

there will now be a vote oh God no

no don't do this please no

no no

please no no

you have all been given a stone

if you think

Douglas should be handed over to the police

on the mainland

I want you to place your stone here

if you think we should deal with Douglas ourselves

I want you to place your stone here

if there are more stones on my right

then on the left Douglas

will be executed in accordance with true way law

oh my God

let's go

come on

the death of the dead

haha

it's fine

ah

I'm sorry

the votes are equal

you're the last Grace

it's up to you

no no

no no

you're dead you're fucking dead yes yes

thank you

that cannot have been easy

now I want you all to go home

close your windows

close your doors

close your curtains

for the next hour

Saint Jory belongs to the true

ah

oh my God

what's going on out there

have they done it

they've taken into the growthers to be prepared

they said

we did the right thing Grace

who you trying to convince

there they are my two little psychopaths

no turn around to go away

you're the last thing we need right now

uh uh

we are doing this look

you wouldn't understand okay

I'm a father literally

shut up

spaffing an airline doesn't mean you can execute people

and you I don't even

I look at someone's laptop and I'm dead to you

a fucking mob wants to kill the vicar and you're like

let me know when you're done lads

hey hey

where are you going I'm not finished with you

I'm gonna pack my bags go to the harbour

wait for the storm to clear

and get the next boat to the mainland

well wait

cause Lucy's got something to tell you

go on Lucy

it was me who told Griffith to go to the church

I'm in the true way too well

I was but I was a nobody

the original 30 families or whoever's left of them

they're at the the part of it

we just do what we're told

I was meant to send you to the church

they didn't tell me why I swear

but you weren't here it's just Griffith so I sent him

you see what this means the two way knew it was Douglas

what any follow up questions

like how long did they know why didn't they tell you

you can both hear me right

I am saying this out loud

good for them

they are clearly better detectives than we are

where'd you get this from

it's from your file isn't it

no it's paid for the holy king

that's not no

listen you have got to snap out to this

I've been wrong my whole life

I've supported a system

that allows criminals to go free

had this right

if I can't promise Ian that the man who

who killed his son and assaulted a child

we'll get the basic minimum punishment then seriously

what what are we for

I'm sorry that

I wasn't who I wanted to be

the true weight price of souls highly is the body Chris

don't they call it ruination

but the preparation is exactly the same

don't do this first

the sacrifices had Rowan berries to help them on their

way Silas what did you just say

in folklore

Rowan berries protect travels on their journeys

and stop them from getting lost

there were Rowan Berry seeds in Kai's teeth

and said he must have found the money in

the money was delirious

he couldn't have they grow at high altitudes

not in the woods where Kai was

for this really bright red

that's where true race sacrifices get their name from

the Red King

and all of that was in your file

yeah but it's it's gone now and all the stuff was added

this page about apostates

that's not mine well

that's how we knew

the symbols in the hangar's body were wrong

so there wasn't a link to the true way

only two people have come into contact with this file

Heather and you

I just hid it under my bed

I didn't fiddle with it besides

Heather's a Mother Superior

it's gonna be here isn't it

if Kai was a sacrifice then what was he a sacrifice for

I think it was by Heather time

the nankaros are the channel for the four gods

the gods speak through them

but Heather's the last one

she doesn't have any children

so there's no one to take over when she dies

we didn't worry though Heather was so strong and fit

we thought there'd be more time to come up with a what

a succession plan a miracle

then she got ill she hid it but we could see

we'd ask the 30 families but they just say don't worry

we've got a planet

I think they meant Kai

I think we got played

but if killing Kai was to save Heather

has anyone pointed out to her that

it clearly didn't work why do they need Douglas

is that her having another part

no Douglas is an execution not sacrifice

there's a difference shit Douglas

hold him still twice hunt

the

lady's been sick again

why isn't she better

she should be better hahaha

hmm hmm hmm hmm

wait I need to check if anyone's in here

I need to do something about this fine

but if you're thinking about running away Douglas

this is literally the safest place on the island

for you right now

why don't we go to the police station

this is the first place they'll look

it will be fine here

we just have to secure all the doors and windows what

how long are we gonna be here for

till we can contact the mainland and call the cavalry

I guess

hey uh

we could hide under the stage what

think about it um

every room has a window so people can see in

but if we're under here then nobody could see us

and there's biscuits in the kitchen

so we'll be alright for a day or so

and if somebody needs to go for a wee

then they can just go to the toilet and all fours

this is actually really heavy

what does World 2018

wait wasn't this one missing

that's the police officer who killed himself

in front of me that's Matt

Matt Benfield Benfield

well that can't be him

he he went to school with us

and where is he now I

I don't know he

he went to mainland a few years back

that's him

trust me it's not the sort of thing you forget

Matt died in front of me

and I was transferred to his home

that's not random one of the last things he said was

they just asked for a name

what if he meant me my name

but why bring me here to the heart of it all

to solve Kai's murder

but if it was a sacrifice

why risk me finding that out

Heather said the votes were even so

I had the casting vote

she lied

more people voted not to execute

not many but more

she'd already lost she didn't need my vote

because this wasn't about Douglas

remember what Silas said it's about ruination

this whole thing has been about me

getting me to vote to execute Douglas

to betray myself to ruin myself

I was the next sacrifice

the moment I put my stone in that bowl

I became the Red King

haha

remember those Welsh cakes you wanted me to give Grace

totally forgot but later I was hungry

so I had one but it was rank

now I know why

it had ruined berries in it to help Grace on her way

just like Kai

anyway she never had them sorry

I put some in a drink this morning when she collapsed

and I didn't know about Kai

look at me say that again

I didn't know about Kai

that was the higher UPS

what's left of the 30 families

they needed me after

to give the Rowan berries to Grace

and I'm I

I kept trying to feed her

she probably thought I was mad

all this just to save Heather oh

you don't understand if she dies

we lose our gods we we become nothing orphans

we become dust my God man

that's what they told me and you believe this

why would they lie they're my family

I thought I was your family

you were you

and you've been you since you were 10 years old

you could have asked me to join

I didn't want to

it was mine

and you would steal the show

I I have to go no

no no no

don't get in the way don't interfere

just let this play out they killed Kai

your family they killed the kid

yeah to save something so much bigger

did you think I'd be ashamed

I was lonely

we're all lonely

so you know this little girl this lonely little girl

we can do something with her

come on

well well

now where are you little city mouse

check the other rooms go on

this where you're hiding little City Mouse

he was the right one around got me pumped in

you're in there aren't you

little city mouse

squeak squeak I can smell you I can smell you a fur

that's in here

it's not about the vicar anymore

but I reckon you've worked that out

the lady just want some little city mouse to be honest

boys they're not here

sort them out out the back door

you must have just missed something

what like I'd like go Jesus

you under there have gone

thank you

I won't hurt you

probably

Kai was a sacrifice

forever

we're actually saying that

we don't know for certain that it's a theory

he was and I was her second attempt

really fucking long story

apparently

Lori gave you some sort of Rowan Berry smoothie

this morning Lori's one of them yeah

sounded like it was a bit of a shock for winter too

I don't know what to believe anymore

and

I'm losing my mind

so you

you need to tell me or you did the guy

or I walk outside

I'll get the crafters back

and I don't care what they do to any of you

I never touched Kai

nothing like that ever happened ever

he turned up at my house he was distressed

all of that is true

Griffith had just told him about you and Lucy

but we talked and I calmed him down

he was gonna go home but I

before he arrived I'd been looking at um

at Rachel's letters they were on the desk

car said he was gonna tell everyone

I just I just tried to I tried to

pacify him

it really it really was an accident and then I panicked

I tried to get away

that didn't work and I was walking home and

and I and I met my Hangul

I swear to you

I didn't know he was still alive if I did

I I never would have let my Hangul take him

and he took Kai's backpack

I I didn't see that again until Griffith found it

it definitely wasn't in that cupboard

someone put it there and I I

I wanna I wanna explain about about Rachel and me

our relationship was so so utterly authentic

it was so real and and and gentle

it was it was actually beautiful

I have met so many men like you

and every single one thought he was a nice guy

it wasn't a love story you raped a child now be quiet

Ian go home we've got this

I shouldn't let them kill you and not just for Kai

you are such a hypocrite

Kai was in love with Lucy and you you were fucking up

that's why Kai came to me that day

Heather Mehangel Griffith me and you

we all lock Kai in that shelter

Owen

get to this to the station and lock him in his cell

there's still plenty of people

who'd like to see him dead what are you gonna do

gonna bring this to an end

she's not here

oh my God

oh my God

was it always gonna be Kai and then me

he was a gift

when my Hangul walked into that vicarage

and realised that Kai was just unconscious

he saw the opportunity to save our entire faith

so he brought him to me and we prepared Kai together

and then mihangel took him to the shelter

while you waited for a recovery that never happened

Kai was soiled by his carnality

we know that now so you came looking for me

someone like you someone to ruin

and yet here we are

so I'm guessing that didn't work either

your body will serve us just as well

no no wait

let's just calm down a second

I know you think I'm a fanatic Grace

but I don't understand you either

I look at you

but the chamber of your heart where faith should be

I am shocked by its emptiness

except I do believe in something

and I'm not alone

Owen asked me earlier what the plan was

I said we just had to wait for the cavalry to arrive

it turns out they were here all along

I just had to get your thugs out of town

long enough for him to round them up

it's a lot of witnesses isn't it

but sure go ahead

kill me who knows

maybe at work you'll be the healthiest woman in prison

oh my God

cutting it a bit fine weren't you

well I got everyone though didn't I

so what are we gonna do with the monsters

sit them on the ground

put their hands behind their heads

we'll process them one by one

so my mum's in a cult then yeah

how you doing with that

not amazing

you killed us you know that

we were something wonderful and you killed us

don't know how long this is all gonna take

yeah

listen

the woman I love is still in there

we're gonna find her okay

he's on the right side isn't he

I should be here for you

it's a sort of emergency we'll be nice to you

what what

what

ah ah

they're ready for you now

I'm pleased to tell you that

having completed their inquiries

the IOPC have concluded there is no case to answer

you are therefore fully exonerated of any wrongdoing

right sorry sir what

the situation on some jury was supremely complex and um

we do not believe it would be in the public interest

to take any further action against you now

no this do you know how many people died

the whole thing was a fuck up a spectacular fuck up

there had been a degree of

infiltration into the police force

by associates of Heather Nankara

mistakes were made

but it doesn't do to dwell

gotcha sir Sergeant Ryan

the situation on ST George remains complex

now

the army have minded the shop for the last six months

but what the island needs

is a return to some kind of normality

most pressing is the restoration of its police force

you have got to be kidding me

so jury requires a very specific tone of policing now

especially

so what do you say Grace

will you go back

I don't know what's going on
