Do you ever think that some places

are just rotten? Black spots?

Please let me go.

You know, bad stuff just keeps happening.

I always knew you had a reason

for me coming here.

That's what I love best about working for you.

Is that I get to help people that really need me.

I will set things right.

Your life.

It's all built on the blood of two little girls

named Abigail and Maggie.

If you tell anyone,

the whole fucking village will turn on you.

Urgh.

Oh no. Oh no.

Oh no, oh,

I'm so sorry.

Oh no.

John, are you okay?

I'd like to speak to your father. Is he home?

Dad.

Dad.

Mike, how are you?

I'm here about the vault.

I'm writing an article about it.

Okay.

Your relatives are buried there.

So, they weren't martyrs. Did you know?

- You don't want to do this. - No?

- No. - Why is that?

Just don't.

One of your ancestors was responsible

for the death of the two girls burnt at the stake.

Two little girls dying because of the Harpers.

Your family's entire fortune is built on that.

Does it bother you?

Fuck off.

Oh, Clara.

Oh, hi Jack. Aaron's not well.

Nothing serious I hope?

I don't think so.

He woke up with a sore throat this morning.

Are you nervous?

No.

Everyone's curious about who you are.

I expect it to be a full house.

I'm looking forward to it.

Is it true?

Yes. Of course it's fucking true.

Why didn't you tell me?

I don't believe anyone really cares

what your ancestors got up to 500 years ago.

It's what you do now that matters.

You've given to that church your whole life.

People know how valuable you are.

They won't be getting another penny.

That church is gonna be destroyed.

Well, I think that would be a mistake.

It would be letting them win.

Mm, what do you know?

You're not even from here.

So, just shut your fucking mouth.

Morning Joan.

Morning Reverend Rushton.

Welcome.

I'm glad to see so many of you here today.

Um, some of you I've met already and some of you I haven't.

Anyway, I'm Reverend Jack Brooks

and I'm really looking forward to getting to know you all.

My sermon today is about honesty,

not only to God, but to each other.

Before I start, why don't we have a little sing song?

Please stand for hymn number 197.

I'm so sorry to interrupt.

So sorry. Um, forgive me.

There's something that I, I need to say.

Um, I've always been committed to this chapel.

It's been good to me and I've happily given back

what I could when I could.

And yet in... in tomorrow's Gazette there's gonna be a story

printed about my ancestors saying that they weren't martyrs

and that they're buried underneath the, the church.

Um, I'm afraid it's, it's, it's true.

There's been a, a 500 year old lie.

And yesterday I discovered the truth.

I can't tell you how devastated I... I or the whole family are.

My ancestor, James Harper,

apparently betrayed the two young martyrs,

Abigail and... and Maggie,

and bought the land that I now own with the,

with the payment that he received.

But, you know, that's history.

And it's what happens now that matters.

I, I, I, I can't regret what I, what I, what I didn't know,

but if I could, I would. And I would ask for forgiveness.

And God says that if we re... regret our actions

we will be forgiven.

Isn't that right, Reverend Brooks?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Well, thank you for, um, uh, uh,

allowing me to unburden myself. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr Harper

for sharing that with us all.

It couldn't have been easy.

Let us pray.

Hello. How lovely to see you.

Congratulations on your first sermon.

Thank you.

It's been a bit turbulent,

to say the least, but this is a new start.

We're going to be fine.

We're a close-knit, loving community.

Good morning. Thank you so much for coming.

That was so brave of you.

Well, um, thank you.

Well done. Well done.

That hurt man, can't have been easy.

Well, it's, uh, unavoidable.

- Liar. - I mean...

You're a liar.

You knew about the vault.

You knew your wealth was built on a lie.

I dare say you knew about Benjamin Grady too.

What are you talking about Mrs Hartman?

Reverend Fletcher found out

your family's secret and you killed him.

I understand that you are upset and,

and I know how much Reverend Fletcher's friendship

- meant to you. - Murderer.

Joan, that's a very grave accusation.

Please, Mrs Hartman, don't,

don't do this to yourself.

He thinks he can get away with this

by buying us all off.

Joan, let's just go for a cup of tea.

Yeah? Come on.

He killed Reverend Fletcher.

I'm sure I'm right.

You okay, Joan? Yeah?

Oh, you must see

there's something rotten here. And it has been very long time.

Come on. Come with me.

Rise and shine dear.

Pauline.

- Is Joy here? - No.

She's gone. Look.

Did she go with Merry?

Merry's ill. She's in bed.

- I have to talk... - She's sleeping.

Please. Wake her up.

She must know something.

She needs her rest.

I'll ask her later.

Is she really here?

You think I'm a liar?

Please, phone me when you've talked to her.

I will. And I'll pray for you.

There will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents

than over 99 righteous persons who need no repentance.

You have no idea where she might have gone or,

or who with?

Sorry. No.

What about her friend Merry?

My first thought that it was her,

but she's home sick.

Untie me. Please untie me.

But Mum...

I really, really need your help.

Jacob, I need you. Please, please. No.

Joy's a teenage girl, Pauline.

Sometimes they overreact.

I need to confess.

When I was seven years old,

I woke up to hear my father returning to the house

and it was the middle of the night.

I sneaked downstairs and he was standing in the kitchen.

He had taken off his clothes and there was blood on them.

He was stuffing them into the washing machine.

It was the first time I'd ever seen my father cry.

I never asked him about it. I was devoted to him.

I've been devoted to the church my whole life.

And now...

is my father a murderer?

Why would you say that?

They found my father's DNA

on both the coffin and on Grady's body.

Aaron, that... that doesn't prove

that he murdered him.

They won't prosecute him.

He's too ill. He will evade earthly justice.

Aaron. Aaron.

If indeed your father has sinned,

he would have prayed for forgiveness.

And God forgives those who ask for redemption.

The Bible says murderers cannot be forgiven.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves.

And the truth is not in us.

That's why bad things happen to me.

It is about the sins of my father.

And my sins.

I have ignored the words of the Lord.

I loved him.

I loved him. Matthew.

Love is never a sin.

God accepts all kinds of love.

Then why has he abandoned me?

God hasn't abandoned you.

It was the traditional feast out in the meadow

to commemorate the burning girls.

I was waiting for Matthew, but he didn't come.

I thought work must have kept him.

So, I walked back to the chapel

and he was hanging there.

He had wet himself.

I ran up to him and I tried to grab his legs.

I tried to pull him up. But it was too late.

I've got nothing left.

Aaron. Sh-sh-sh.

Aaron. I know how you feel.

There have been times in my life

when I felt as though God has abandoned me.

As if I was being tested.

And then just when I was about to give up,

he showed me the right path.

And, you know, sometimes it can feel

as if God isn't listening and he isn't there.

But he is. God is everywhere.

He's all around us.

You see, you just have to be patient.

Keep listening because I promise you,

God has not abandoned you, Aaron.

I promise.

It's okay. God bless you.

Um, I'm gonna go to the youth club in Henfield tonight.

If we're gonna stay here, might as well make the most of it.

In this shit together, right?

Who are you going with?

Wrigley.

How are you getting there?

Bus.

I'll give you a lift back.

No, we'll get the last bus back.

I'll meet you at the bus stop.

Please, Mum. It's fine.

Wrigley's gonna walk me home. No big deal.

I said I'll meet you at the bus stop.

Okay.

Ah.

Shit.

Yeah.

You look nice.

Oh, thank you.

What am I gonna do here tonight without you, eh?

Oh, I don't know. Um, have a bath?

What? In the darkroom?

Mm. Well, in that case,

maybe you can just drink some wine and relax.

Yeah. I'll just relax and drink some wine.

I've got to go.

What about your dinner?

Oh, I'll just, I'll just grab something in Henfield.

Alright.

Thank you, Mum.

- I love you. - I love you too.

Be good.

Okay. I will. I'll see you later.

Have fun.

Will do.

The time is 7 PM.

Police are looking for a man in connection

with the murder of a vicar at St Anne's Church in Nottingham.

Reverend Philip Bradley's semi-naked body

was found in the ground of the church

shortly after midnight on Saturday.

The suspect, a white male of medium build,

was last seen boarding a train to London wearing vicar's attire.

Police are warning the general public to be extra vigilant.

St Anne's was previously

at the centre of a controversy

when an eight year old girl was found murdered on its altar.

The cases are not thought to be linked.

Wrigley?

Wow.

What romantic teen shit have you been watching?

Glad to see you're impressed.

No, I do. I like it.

It's just a bit...

Too much?

Yeah, just a little bit.

I mean, nobody's ever burned a house down for me before though, so...

Too soon?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Urh.

I don't understand why anyone drinks that stuff.

To get drunk usually.

- Oh. - Oh shit. It's okay, it's fine.

No, uh, it's not.

I... I... I wanted this to be perfect.

It is.

What was that? Somebody there.

A ghost?

No, stop it. I heard something.

I will go and check.

Just in case.

Wait. Wrigley, I'm gonna come with you.

Wrigley?

No, no!

Flo, I'm over here!

Wrigley! Please just let us go!

Say goodbye to your boyfriend.

Please! What the fuck are you doing?

Flo. There are some bones down here.

Wrigley!

One down. One to go.

What the fuck?

Shit.

Hello there.

Tom?

Tom, run, run!

Aargh! Argh!

Please.

Sh, sh, sh.

Wrigley?

- Flo, Flo, get me out. - Wrigley.

Flo, over here. Get me out of here.

Oh my God. Wrigley are you hurt?

What the fuck! What the fuck! Oh!

- Sorry, you can't come through. - No, no, I have...

my name's Reverend Brooks. I had a phone call from, uh, DS Jackson.

I'm... I'm here for my daughter Flo.

In that case, if you just want to go down there.

Thank you. Thank you.

What the fuck, Flo?

- Mum! - Oh my darling.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. Sh-sh-sh-sh.

Mum, I'm so sorry.

You're alright, okay.

- You're alright. - I'm sorry.

You're safe. And that's the only thing that matters. Okay.

- They put bags over our heads. - Who did?

Ro... Rosie Harper and her cousin, they put...

Well, well have you told the police?

Yes, I've told them everything. But Mum,

they pushed Wrigley down the well.

- What? - Yeah.

- Is he okay? - Yes, he's fine. He's bruised.

- But I mean, he said he found a body. - What?

I was reaching down to look at him

- and then he was said he... - Reverend Brooks?

DS Jackson.

Yeah. We, we met before.

We did. You can take Flo home now.

Flo said that... that they found a body.

Your daughter's boyfriend found a skull in the well.

DS Jackson, come in.

We'll be in touch.

I've got to go and pay my respects, okay.

I need you to stay here and keep warm.

Excuse me. Could you keep an eye on my daughter please?

Just for two more minutes? Thank you.

I'll be right back. Okay?

I just want to pay my respects.

You can't be back here.

Okay.

I know what you think of Wrigley,

but it wasn't his fault.

Well, it's never his fault, is it?

Oh, Mum, can you just not be mad at him?

The police officer said he was your boyfriend.

Is he?

I don't know. Think so.

There was this man.

What man?

At the house. I didn't see him,

but he, he scared off Rosie and Tom.

And did you tell the police?

Yeah, they said he was probably just someone

sleeping rough.

There, there was this weird guy hanging around the place

when I was on my way there. It could have been him.

And do you know what he looks like?

Yeah. Like a tramp.

He came like proper close to my face

after Rosie and Tom were gone. I think he sniffed my hair.

I don't want you going back to that place.

- It's, it's dangerous. Okay? - Okay.

Yeah. I promise. I'm really sorry.

Do you think those bodies in the well

are those missing girls?

Well, it would make sense, wouldn't it?

Mm.

It isn't his fault.

Reverend Brooks, I know you're in there! Come on!

I'm coming!

You never fucking give up do you?

Okay, come through, come through.

Your daughter accused Rosie of, of assaulting her.

Well, that's because... and don't you shout at me.

That is because her and her cousin

tried to kill them last night.

No, Rosie was at home all,

all night. Like I told the police.

Well, there's nothing you won't lie about is there?

I mean, I know it must be hard for you to see her flaws,

but your daughter is seriously disturbed.

If anyone is seriously disturbed,

it's your daughter's boyfriend.

- What, Wrigley? - Yeah.

Do you know that psycho nearly killed a girl

when he tried to burn down his last school?

Stop accusing Rosie. She'll always have an alibi.

You wrote an article

about a year ago

about a fire at a school in Tunbridge Wells.

Yeah. Why?

Was it Wrigley?

Hm.

Do you know why you did it?

Because a girl dumped him.

And was that the girl that almost died?

Yes.

Do you think he knew that she was still in the school?

No. He said he didn't.

He's Flo's boyfriend now.

Oh, look, he's not a bad kid, Jack.

Yeah.

But every time they're together something bad happens, you know?

Well, he had a tough childhood.

His dad died when he was nine. His mom couldn't cope.

He ended up moving in with his aunt, Saffron Winter.

The author?

Yeah.

Well, he said to me that his mom was away.

Listen, I need to go and see her.

Would... would you stay here with Flo for a while?

Yeah. No problem.

Not a word of this, though.

Thank you.

Hello, Miss Winter.

Hello, Miss Winter.

Hello?

Hello?

Oh my God.
