Original subtitles

during the widows where we're completely cut off

can be really sunny here

but contact with the mainland can get a bit patchy

the true way

everyone says they're just for the tourists

they're real

he took it he took the file

someone on this island put down the true way symbol

parked their car

and waited for 13 year old boy to freeze to death

I'm gonna find whoever killed Kai

you are the flame that shows us the righteous path

the true way

oh my God

oh

oh

it's off the Welsh coast

it's a community and I'm gonna be there

police sergeant I'm getting a boat there

love about me when will you come back

I don't know as soon as I can

I'll miss you will you

will you really of course will

I will will they love you here

they're always saying when is Grace visiting

I'm gonna miss you too Mum

Mum

you're not my daughter

my daughter's a whore

is the car is a non starter

we don't even know what colour that is grey

green maybe it could be a Lamb Rover

if the image was clearer

we could use the local Intel system

to do a partial vehicle search

if we had access to the internet

that is I know I keep asking

it could be back up today

it could be in the next week

do you want the jar

okay what about whoever took Silas's file

he had a mask you said yeah

like a son sort of a circle with a face in the middle

oh yeah that's the wood God

you know what it is

remember how everyone was saying that the true ways

just for Taurus well

it is but that our traditions as well

this four characters right

there's the wood god triple headed goddess

the Red King and the Holy King

when we're kids we dress up as them

and go to parties and parades and stuff

you know like how people dress up as Dracula

or Frankenstein for Halloween

uh it's the monster

Frankenstein was the scientist what

so the wood guard does he have a role in the mythology

is he like a messenger an executioner

no idea

our mums would just make us a costume

when we run around this is only that bloody file

so that leaves Griffith I saw that

we still don't know where he was

during last year's widow's whale

all white shop

Ding yes

just a second Silas I know what I wanted to ask you

the day that Kai was found in Lucy's garden

she said good if it had a word with him

do you remember what he said

don't be soft now lad stay out to people's gardens

did you hear him say that

no he took Kyoside

I was with Lucy but Griffith told me afterwards

so I've had to think

and I've decided not to press charges on Ian

okay you sure about that

he lost his son he wasn't thinking straight by Gonzalez

I stopped by his house but there's no one in no

he's here but we'll tell him

I'll take him a brew in a minute no

maybe don't what does not be a hotel

how are you getting on with my file

uh yes uh the file

it's been stolen what

my car skidded off the road

when I was driving back yesterday

and when I came to it gone

that took me months I'm really sorry

but we'll get it back I promise

told you that didn't I

they're everywhere

perhaps we can chat later though

see how much of it you can remember yeah

in the meantime I just need a quick chat

with my illustrious predecessor

oh this doesn't look good

wait wait

wait wait wait there

if you're gonna go see Grace

can you give her that for me

we're late for breakfast innit

it's lunch actually cause Grace didn't eat breakfast

did you not know that Welsh cakes

these are made yeah

I had a sperm in it made me a pack lunch once okay

here we go your greatest hits

pepper soup and a Ferrero Rocher

I asked if you wanted to help out

beer in the bar yesterday in the hall

because I thought

it might be nice for us to do something together

but you were busy oh

we open we make some precious memories sorry

that went right over my head hey

next time give me a wink

so I know I'd hate to miss you being maternal again

it's like a fucking comet

it's okay

hey

hey

hey

hey

you're gonna talk to the others

see what they know about Kai

yeah I did

no one knows anything of course not cause it wasn't us

anyone could have done that symbol would be unframed

you watch we should go to the police

we say we're in the true way

and we wouldn't do something like that

oh my god you're not serious

we tell him we say

you know who them is don't you

my husband this one's dad

so that's us over I mean

that's divorce that is so I think I'll give that a miss

thanks very much is it though

maybe no one will mind what we are

at the end of the day it's just about belief

isn't it that's all we do

we believe something is the fall will kill you

Butch casting the Sundance Kid

they're on a cliff and they're about to jump

and one says I can't swim and the other says

what's that matter

it's a fall I'll kill you

you're right

people won't care what we believe

who care we like them

right

exactly

so we say nothing

keep digging I'm telling you

it's a stitch up but if it was us

someone's gotta know something

come on

Lucy listen

keep your head down here while I sort things out why

what's wrong nothing

it's just delicate

so um

best not to be asking too many questions

yeah I got this

it's for kids ain't it

I've got this

there is a state of panic now because of your actions

my god Grace

you have a duty of care

you can't just present this like the threat is current

is ongoing the threat is current

and while the true way is still active

the threat is ongoing

if there had been a secret death cult on Saint Jury

for the best part of a century

I think at some point someone might have noticed now

hey what's going on

people coming to me Grace is getting the ball again

because she told everybody about the true way

what possessed you

I did it because the investigation is deadlocked

perhaps this might encourage someone to come forward

if people are offended that is too bad

perhaps they could spare a thought for Kai

locked in that shelter while someone sat in their car

listening to him freeze to death

you know what

it's great you're taking an interest in this case

but honestly the best thing you can do for Kai now

is to let me do my job

don't think I've ever seen anyone talk to Heather

like that before no

she's a pussycat really

sorry for your wasted journey alright

yes of course

um uh

thank you Grace

best thing you can do for Kai now

is is let me do my job

not gonna lie

tiny bit turned on and I know I win his too what

shut up I'm not I'm not Chris

huh

what are you doing here anyway okay

hear me out you're totally in the staff

so how about I help you out for a bit

now before you say what you're gonna say

I've prepared a list of reasons yeah

that's a good idea really it is yeah

like you said we're understaffed

you can man the front desk take messages

that sort of thing no

she can't interact with the public

she basically feral besides

does she need a background check or something

oh you're literally the police

does she have a criminal record

no amazing some follow questions do I get paid

no in fact

that's kind of illegal but I'll buy you a sandwich oh

do I get a badge no

but while the phone lines are down

you can have a walkie talkie the police business only

so no mucking about

well see about that I know it's Carlos hey Ian

how you doing I was just gonna bring you a brew

after you showed me this picture yesterday

I've been trying to work out where I'd seen it before

it's my angles the first time we met

I've been searching his garage

I I passed out remember that's why I've seen it okay

I mean the image isn't very clear can you describe it

yeah it's a

it's an ancient Land Rover Range Rover

I don't know the difference

it's it's dark green

but that's more kind of grey yeah

but something's happened to the paint work on the roof

it's oxidised no

it's it's reacted

it's corroded it's sort of olive grey now

it's olive grey okay

uh winter

could you get in a cup of tea

I'm gonna go talk to Griffith

but on the way back no no no

you have to go there now listen to me

that is the car that was there when Kai died

tell me about Griffith's daughter

oh my god she disappeared a year

the day before Kai that weren't a conversation

surely this thing with Griffith is like

well

you can't see basically the only thing you can see uh

uh a blind spot and no

it isn't blind spot thank you look

we know the true ways connected guys there

so

the only way it could be Griffith is if he's a member

I don't think even you believe that

I see what it means about the roof

what do you reckon

not sure game face on there

hi we hang out there

do you mind if we have a quick word

oh my God

oh yeah

this won't take too long uh

like I said the other day

I'm talking to everyone really

I just wanna ask you about the car in your garage

okay okay

my hangout listen to me

I need you to put the gun down

I don't think you wanna do this

I think you wanna tell me something but you're scared

right

so am I so going

aren't you going absolutely broken it so

so try something for me

in your mind I want you to jump ahead to a moment

after you've told me think about the relief you'll feel

do it for me now

we'll all do it feels nice yeah

that relief it's right here

seconds away

that's it she put the gun down

that's it we'll talk

it's all good it's all good

oh my God

haha

did somebody hurt uh

Grace will explain

you'll need these oh

I know mind where you're stepping

might have thrown up a bit

what's going on

I've just had winter pitch up at the house

telling me to bring you in here

look Louise um

it's classified hey we talked about this

where's the file

what's happened

you arrested him

Mangel took his own life before he could speak to him

thank you

why would he do that we can discuss that in a sec

first I need you to confirm he's deceased

he has no head

but things have to be done in a certain way

he's dead thank you

it was him wasn't it

we don't know that for sure

why else would he kill himself

that is a valid question fuck off Grace

I swear to God the case against him is very compelling

fuck Ian Ian

it was him Ian

Ian Manhattan's body is evidence now

it has to be preserved do you understand

I want you to go home

but you can't say anything to anyone

not yet

I'm serious

you've got to be kidding me

they wouldn't leave till they've seen you

was it my angle is it over

uh I

I can't comment at this time

who do you reckon told them Ian

yeah chances are

they're right though Grace

you did it got him

so what happens now well uh

once the phone lines are back up

I'll need to contact the coroner

and the forensic team on the mainland

my hand goes suicide

will be deemed to death after police contact

so we'll be referred to the IOPC

wait will be investigated yeah

don't worry it's just what happens

we can't investigate what happened to behind girl

because we're basically witnesses

but we can carry on investigating Kai's death

who's left to investigate

we're pretty certain that's his car in the picture

and he killed himself before he could be questioned

there's nothing much more incriminating than that

except we know literally nothing

if it was my hand girl did he act alone

if if he's in the true way

is he like the only member

and who kills someone by making them freeze to death

is that how they do it is it a ritual

I need that file

so I looked for out my hangouts

but I couldn't see it anywhere

then there's motive why kill Kai

far as I can tell they barely knew each other

I'm saying this isn't a victory okay

this is not justice I reckon Ian would say it is well

that's why

parents of dead children don't decide the law

okay okay okay

tell me everything yeah

good luck she's got a face on

because we didn't get to question my angle

so you got him

we have to shut up shop for the day and get so drunk

we actually go blind no winter

there's a whole process that has to happen now okay

this is a total mess oh

blah blah blah but tell me what happened

did he do it in front of you

this is insane okay

if everyone knows about the hangar

we need to secure his house

already to this twat

min hi Grace um

we met at the village hall

I know who you are oh Griffith said

never mind uh

is he is he in

can I have a quick chat he's not here

don't know when he'll be back alright

you wanna come in yeah

that'd be great thank you

how long have you been here

since last april aha

they say in the year widow's

well was really mild this year compared to last year

anyway

leash had Griffith with you

that's right isn't it

Griffith was here with you for the whole thing

he didn't nip off at any point

it's fine he's not in any trouble

it's my job to ask this stuff

there was the cow the cow

someone's cow got out he was still the police sergeant

so he had to go and help no

yeah I hear this happens a lot with cows

sorry when did you say this was first day of the storm

about 5:00 and how long was he gone

an hour two hours

something like that and how did he know about the cow

cause I'm assuming the phone lines were still down

maybe someone came to the door did you see them

okay no worries

one last thing in the night

I will leave you in peace

you ever meet his daughter Bethan

she left before I got here

no but I mean

she must pop back for birthdays

Christmases that sort of thing

got your wedding even I don't know anything about her

thank you for your time

do you mind if I use your toilet

I'll be in touch if there's anything else I need

but that was that was really helpful

thank you

you know what I did back home where my job was

I taught physics some chemistry too

but mainly physics that surprises you

doesn't it no

well absolutely not

it shouldn't make any difference what I did

but it might help you

take my word for it when I tell you

I know who Griffith is and I'm still here

think about that

ha ha ha

huh

winter

what are you doing here I'm basically a detective now

right

it's Grace around

I just wanted to well

congratulate her oh

don't bother she's not into it

right well uh

if you could pass on the message nonetheless you bet

we've never really spoken

have we you and I

we should why

why not saying no saying why

communities have cliques that's fine

that's normal but we don't do cliques

you and I do we

it can be a bit isolating at times

yeah

the minder

you're rich you're hot

I just thought everyone would want to be Opal

I'm half the island's landlord

so it makes relationships complicated

you're not mine ladies and gentlemen

a toast to my hangover

may hell be real

may roast

may rot

cheers everyone cheers

Grace Grace

Grace the cat is out of the bag

so you can tell me everything

what sound did his head make when it exploded

I mean I'm imagining a sort of pop

what

well let me give

give you a drink oh no listen

I'd love to but I've still got a pile of work to do

and I just need back to get changed another time yeah

hmm hmm

this place is dead

not as dead as my hang on mine

no

sorry it's too soon

yep yep hey

where

are you going

come on come on

you can't be in here oh

I'm sorry

do you not like it when someone invades your privacy

Rebecca no

get downstairs now don't panic Lodi

I'm just here to talk to the girl

we're coolest cucumbers aren't we Grace

I'm fine Lodi

thank you

we need to do this

right enough

enough now you crossed the line today

this is harassment once and for all

why didn't you do a proper search for Kai

you're not listening to me

you're done I'll have your job for this

trust me once this is over

you are welcome to it

you lied about the area you searched

and just happened to miss where the body was

it's a bit of a coincidence

don't you think or you just inept

you know what you're right

I could have done a better search

I mean the boy was already dead

but sure tell me though

is that better or worse than your prime suspect

killing himself in front of you

the day Kai disappeared

you told him about his dad and Lucy

why I thought it was time

he knew exactly who his father was

ah there's more to it than that

I wanna say it's because you're obsessed with Lucy

but then you just make Ian's life hell instead

you went for Kai you hated him

why then

you were a wall

for a chunk of last year's widow's whale

while Kai froze to death why

any of this feel familiar

what those boys that you reported back home

has it occurred you that this is how they started huh

the Bender rule here and there

quick detail on the way to the toilet

bit of bit of pressure on the suspect's family

but what does it matter

when you're certain you've got your man

and before you know it

you're beating the shit out of someone in a car park

tell me

how does it feel to be just like them

where's your daughter Griffith

shut up on the mainland

I heard funny that's what you said about Kai

Kai said shut up

and what teenager goes anywhere without their laptop

perhaps Grace is right and

the hangar

is just the tip of a very unpleasant iceberg

could there be more of them

people we'd know nah

chances are

my uncle was just some low nutter who found a book

cause I mean I thought

oh yeah this sounds great

you really think so

like you said

if there been some mad cults on the island

for 100 years we probably would have noticed

sorry walls here aren't exactly soundproof

are you in the true way winter

clicks on my thing remember

so why did you take Silas's file from Grace's car

what you were seen and now

here you are in the police station

in the middle of everything

see

I think you are in the true way

and you are trying to sabotage the investigation

into Kai's death

sorry babes

I left his lordship's rabbit in the village hall

he won't settle without her

Mum's got him but she's pulling her hair out

Silas just gonna pop out get something for our lad

okay

I can't believe it

we were literally talking to him this morning

now I still think we should go to the police

put this stuff in his house that connects him to us

there won't be my hand on you the rules

I don't know what we are anymore

I never cared it was a secret

we didn't do anything

we just believed and and now this has happened

I I don't know what we are

that's the second time that you've said that

now we don't just believe we are the answer

the last living subject of the ancient kings

I don't care what simply left

what mangle did is nothing to do with us anyway

he's gone now so just hold your move

it's nearly over okay

ah

wow wow

what's Roman's 6 1

Douglas Roman can 6 1 what is it is from the Bible

I'm not sure the the quote exactly

would you have a Bible on you

I don't carry them around with us

there might be one in the office

okay who has keys to the hall

you Lucy does for a toddler group

who else uh

Heather does

she has keys to all the public buildings even my house

you could ask her I guess

here

here we are Ramon's 6 1 what should we say then

shall we continue in sin that

what the what

the Grace may abound

hey thank you

Douglas say that's all I need for now

send Lucy and Alan home

but I need to get statements from them both

probably tonight

you still reckon it could be Griffith then

I don't know but he was missing for a couple of hours

while Kai was in the shelter

min told me wait was he

fuck sake until now

the true way of covered their tracks

Kai's death was a secret

they wanted everything to be invisible

this is a statement they want us to see them

now they are building to something

building to what my God

why aren't you freaking out it's on my to do list

in the meantime we're gonna take photos of everything

every detail then

the body will have to be removed

before it starts to decay

how did you get on with the funeral directors

they're on their way

maybe this time they can hang on to it

I'm gonna go talk to Heather wait

should you be doing any of this

what why wouldn't I

the Bible quote was meant for you

we don't we don't know that

how daft do you think I am

I said your bloody name

look I can't do this on my own

but if they're after you now

maybe you shouldn't be here

that there's places on the other side of the island

you might be safer there

I never thought you would die for one second

but I owe it to Kai to see this through to the end

one job gentlemen

you had one job uh

you can go home now

I'll have to take statements from you both

probably tonight I want to talk to Grace what

she's busy talk to her tomorrow

no I need to know

it's urgent look

you can talk to me later

or you can talk to her tomorrow

it's up to you don't be a dick Lucy not tonight

save your breath

Grace

my uncle's body just turned up in the village hall

it's been desecrated covered in true way symbols

you have keys to the hall

where are they oh wait what

someone did what to my uncle's body

someone in the true way stole it from the funeral home

took it to their hall and desecrated it

Douglas said you have keys to the hall

where are they do you still have them

sorry who told you I have keys

Douglas said Heather wake up

sorry it's um it's been a night

it's fine

let me check

uh yes

mine is still here I don't know what that tells me

but um okay

your grandfather must have records about the true way

notebooks journals

that sort of thing do you still have them

his son my father destroyed everything

he was so ashamed of what his father did to send jury

he wanted it expunged

most of the true ways still have descendants on

the island they might have records

I don't have anything

oh I do have this though

I was going to bring it to you first thing

I've had a look through it

it's actually a pretty good primer

this is Silas's where did you get it

I've been looking for this

if someone gave it to me they came across it

they passed it to me so I could give it to you who

who had it oh

I'd rather not say the important thing is you have it

now you realise this is how we ended up here

because of fucking secrets

oh Grace love you

what a day come on

sit down no

I'm good really

I've uh this is me using my stern voice

apply us to seat come on sit down

you look awful

okay

I've been thinking

is there someone that you can call

get them over here they can stay

no the phones don't work alright

when we're back up and running again

a fella or a girl might not

what I say there isn't but thank you

come on a lovely girl like you love is chaos right

but your mum then she's a

no I I lost her a long time ago

me too

if it's any constellation

uh parents dead

Winter's dad I don't know

God knows where

I hope he's dead

well you got winter no

no we're miles apart love

different planet

I was so young when I had her I couldn't be a mum

so I loved having this little firecracker

she was more like a sister than a daughter

but then of course what she needed was a mom

she would have been dead proud of you your mom

tell her how I would be

I should go up I gotta read this and Christ

there is so much to do did winter give you that

I know Heather did

why no

no nothing

I just I could have sworn I saw that in Winter's room

would you turn the lights off when you're done

night night lovey

oh thank God you're here I'm so bored

what's that Silas's file

oh you got it

where was it Heather gave it to me

nice one you're not gonna ask me where Heather got it

uh okay

where did Heather get it someone gave it to her

she won't say who

great story

it was you your mum saw it in your bedroom she told me

are you in the true way no

no it's nothing like that

so why did you take it I was gonna give it back

that's not an answer

do you know something about Kai

something you don't want me to know

I don't want you to leave

look

you're the best thing that's ever happened you

and once it's over it's not like you're gonna stay

is it

it was a spirit of the moment thing

I followed you out into the storm

because I was worried and then I saw you crash

and I ran over

and saw the file on the floor of the car

and I didn't think it was gonna stop

yourself in the mood I just delay it a bit

you can't work here we can't be friends

do you understand that no

I can we can look

I knew it was stupid and I wanted to give it back

I just didn't know how

I'm really sorry

you have no idea how hard it is for me to stay

to be stable I need to know what's real

I need to know who's real

I need to be around people I can trust

I need to be around adults

you said my mum told you you saw it in my room

watch it

alright

haha

what did Lucy say what do you think

same as you you should get some sleep

his lordship will be up soon

aren't you coming

I'm gonna make sure the crime scene is secured

and that's gonna take all night

she's a

she's right you know Grace

there is something wrong here

sinjori is not a good place

well that's nice

this is our home

these are our friends our neighbours yeah

well one of our friends kill Kai

one of our neighbours did that to Mahango's body

right listen to me

we're gonna get out of you okay

I'm not raising my son around these people

in a bust of Trui you're tired love

and you've had a shock we've all had a shock

I'll tell you now Ellen they're not taking him

just I want you to understand that

I don't believe all that true waste stuff anyway

I reckon it's someone making it look like it's them

God is that what I sounded like

we overlook stuff here

no ask no questions tell no lies that sort of thing

this is still made truly broken

we can't live like that ever again

what's that saying um

you can't unring a bell

I uh

I don't know what time I'll be home

I need to get to the station first thing

haha

not doing this again

Ian I swear to God I'm gonna

the end

this is

we're here I need to show you something

bloody hell you've been busy okay

where is it here

this is from Silas's file

it's a description of true way punishments wait

this is Silas's file yeah

uh winter had it

do you know how they executed people back in the day

when the first Lord Nankara was running the island

they threw them down the big pit on the hill

bloody hell that is not the end of it

now the pit is thought to be about 200 meters deep

but they'd send someone down to get the body

bring it back up and then display what was left of it

well like Mangal's body no

not like they did with Mangal

do you remember

when they asked

if the wood god had a role in the mythology

well he does

they all do and anyone that they punish in this way

becomes the Holly King now

I thought the Holly King was all prosperous

in Christmas Eve it's really not

the holly crown is like a crown of thorns

and the big belly is like a distended stomach

from starvation

now the body has to be processed in a very specific way

look

chains have been attached to his ankles like shackles

he wears the Holly King mask

and the only symbol is the true weight

triangle on the chest it is precise ceremonial

now look at the handles body

the triple headed goddess mask has been wedged on top

which makes no sense

because he's not the triple headed goddess

and the symbols are just random

they're scrolled here and there

it's what I would do

I just make up some pagan shit and draw it on him

but that's not all

this is about how the true way viewed other faiths

they basically pitted them

thought they were stories

thought they were kind of beneath contempt

so why would they hang a card around me

hangles neck of someone else's religion

because they didn't know any better

because it's not about the true way

it's about me what

what do you mean

I don't think they did it

I don't think they killed Kai

and whoever did has been faking

the connection to the true way

oh my God
