Original subtitles

[Tony] The CPS has decided not to press charges

over the death of Mr. Dove.

They accept that you acted in self-defense.

Finally, some common sense,

But they are still considering whether to prosecute you

over your involvement in the murder of Max Carlton.

What involvement?

There was CCTV footage of him

approaching the location where his body was found.

He was in the company of an unidentified woman,

believed to be his killer.

You destroyed that evidence.

You have got to be shitting me.

The system at the CCTV Centre clearly shows

it was your login that was used to delete the recording.

Do you deny this?

I was forced to do that.

[Tony] Who by?

Max phoned and threatened to hurt my friends

if I didn't delete it.

But Max was already dead at this point

and yet was seen running from the blind spot.

Yeah.

So who made this alleged call?

Don't do this.

Don't make it look like it's all my fault.

Who was the woman on the CCTV and where did she go?

I don't know.

Look, we know that Carlton worked

with various women on the estate.

Do you know any of their names?

Why would I?

Because you seem to be his biggest fan.

When he killed Zoe you all look the other way.

Why do you suddenly care now?

The bastard's dead.

He deserved it!

[ominous music]

[suspenseful theme music]

[suspenseful music continues]

[sirens blaring]

[Tony sighs]

[door slamming]

What are you doing here?

Making sure you get home without causing any more chaos.

I don't need babysitting.

Yeah, really looks like it.

Hannah, I don't want things to be like this.

[Hannah scoffs]

Bullshit.

You're trying to bully me into helping you.

You're up to your old tricks.

Using me like you use that poor sod

you sent to his death in London.

I just want to get to the truth.

Then do your bloody job.

Stop piling all this bullshit onto me.

Meet me halfway then.

If you want me to believe

that you weren't involved in any of this,

then give me something to go on.

[Hannah scoffs]

Bastard.

Let's get out of here.

Look, someone might have mentioned a Ruby.

Who is she?

Another woman who worked with Max.

Do you know anything else about her?

No, just heard her name somewhere.

But you're the one who claims to be a detective.

[pensive music]

Can't believe I'm actually picking you up

from the police station.

What are you like?

You need to talk to your mum.

She knows something about Zoe.

[pensive music]

What?

It's best you hear it from her.

[pensive music]

[knocking on door]

[door clunking]

No, get lost before somebody sees you.

Call her off.

That nasty little viper who works for you.

What's her name, Geri?

How dare she threaten to have my dog taken away.

You told Hannah what we did.

You may as well have gone to the bloody newspapers.

She won't blab if it hurts you.

She will tell Amber.

I will never forgive you

for making me seem weak in front of my daughter.

I hope Geri burns your pathetic life to the ground.

Remember this day, dear.

Why?

It's when your whole life started to fall apart.

[ominous music]

[pensive music]

[distant dog barking]

[liquid pouring]

[pensive music]

[keyboard clacking]

[pensive music]

[ominous music]

[Max] Delete the recording of me from last week,

the whole evening.

[ominous music]

[birds singing]

[door clunking]

[door slamming]

Hello love.

[footsteps clomping]

Hannah said you had something to tell me about Zoe.

Amber, er, sometimes we do things we regret.

[Amber chuckles]

I'm not 10.

[laptop clunking]

There was a witness.

When Zoe was killed, someone saw it happen.

Who?

Dolly Fletcher.

She never went to the police.

How do you know about it?

An officer I'm friendly with at the station.

Er, she tipped me off.

Why didn't Dolly make a statement?

Because I...

I paid her not to.

Why would you do that?

Max Carlton, he came down to my office, bold as brass,

and told me about all the things

that would come out about you if it went to court.

He was making it up.

Was he?

It was just some stuff from a few posh houses.

People who could afford it.

Yeah, we both know that's bullshit.

I moved us out here so you wouldn't have to be involved

in a life like that.

[chair scraping]

Don't you get it?

You would've gone to prison.

And even after you got out it wouldn't end.

Everything you did would be plastered over the internet.

Preventing that wasn't worth

letting Zoe's killer get away.

You would never have escaped it.

Every job interview, every new friend you made,

they'd be able to find out what you did with a click.

That's my problem.

No, no, it's mine too.

The scandal would've ended my political career.

You're only the leader of the bloody council.

It's not like you've got the nuclear codes.

It is important to me.

Look, I know you meant well

but I didn't ask you to stick your nose in.

Yeah, well, er, someone had to save you from yourself.

'Cause you sure as shit Weren't making a great job of it.

[ominous music]

[keys jangling]

You don't know what you've done.

[footsteps receding]

[door slamming]

[engine purring]

[cutlery clinking]

No.

No, Roy, on the house today.

How come?

I might be able to put some cash your way

if you're interested.

Need someone with your skills

to do me a little favour, dear.

I'm listening.

[ominous music]

Thanks for coming.

You're still talking to me then.

[Hannah sighs]

I know you only told the police where I was

'cause you care.

You wanted to get me help

and I appreciate and respect that.

[chuckling] You want something, don't you?

[Hannah sighs]

Yeah.

Look at this, Judas.

Could they really have a backup at the CCTV?

Give him five grand and you'll find out.

Well, I don't have that kind of money.

Forget about it then.

I can't.

The police are gonna charge me with destroying evidence.

But if I had a copy of the CCTV to give him.

It's a scam.

Oh, let it go.

Obsessing over all this is giving you nothing but misery.

I can't, it's who I am.

Well, not to me.

[pensive music]

Can you find who sent the email?

It depends if they know what they were doing.

Then try, please.

I'm in big trouble,

[ominous music]

[door clunking]

Sarge.

Chris.

Got some bad news, I'm afraid.

Before Jim Dove died, he gave up your entire operation.

Names, numbers, the full nine yards.

Yeah, don't believe you, mate.

Well, let's talk about it down the station.

All right, sure, whatever.

I said let's talk about it down the station.

Well, if this was a proper arrest,

you wouldn't have come here on your own, would you?

So go on, just tell me what you really want.

Information about Max Carlton's girls,

[Chris groans]

What's it worth?

Come on, man, you know how this works.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

All right, you help me and I'll give you an hour

to put your affairs in order before I bring you in.

Deal?

Yeah, fine.

All right, just get off me.

So talk.

Look, I don't know much about these tarts of Carlton's.

Yeah, they just came and went.

Do you remember one called Ruby?

No, I don't remember any of their names.

I didn't bother learning their names, yeah,

'cause once they was with him that was it.

They were off limits.

You'll have to do better than that.

[Chris sighs]

Look, there was this little cafe, yeah, down on Rose Lane.

That was where they used to go and look for marks.

That's it, that's all I know.

All right.

So an hour, yeah?

[Chris laughs]

Nice one, yeah, no wonder you're a joke down at the station.

Don't even know how to play the game, mate.

Arrest and charge him.

Yeah, it's fine.

I'm got, I know where I'm going.

Get off me.

I know where I'm going!

[pensive music]

[keyboard clacking]

[pensive music]

There you go.

If I ever teased you

about going to computer club after school,

I take it all back.

You made endless jokes about it.

Well, a normal teenage boy would spend that time

learning how to unfasten a bra.

But I am glad you never got the opportunity.

Er, the email was sent from the IP address

linked to this address.

Do you know it?

[tense music]

It's Louisa and Geri's office.

[tense music]

[door clunking]

Won't your mum miss the keys?

She doesn't usually come in at the weekend.

Still, be quick.

It has to be Geri's doing.

I can't believe your mum would mess me around like this.

[tense music]

I'll get mum to crucify her for this.

[Hannah] Do you really think the footage is on here?

What if she's got it with her?

Well then we'll kill her and loot her corpse. [sighs]

Don't worry, it's just Plan B.

[mouse clicking]

[door rattling]

What the hell?

Shit, hide.

How?

Go on.

[door rattling]

You get under there, I'll...

You as well.

You're kidding.

[door rattling]

[ominous music]

[door thudding]

[objects clattering]

[whispering] Who is that?

[objects clattering]

- [object thudding] - [glass smashing]

No! Wait!

Ssh.

[tense music]

[footsteps shuffling]

[door clunking]

[Intruder] Come out.

[tense music]

Who are you?

What do you want?

I've called the police.

[pot thudding]

Yeah, we have to go.

What about the files?

You can't be here.

Someone's bound to see the door broken in,

- then police will come. - [Hannah sighs]

- Hannah, now! - All right.

[ominous music]

[door clunking]

- [door clunking] - [bell jingling]

[Tony sighs]

You finished scraping that boy off my rug yet?

I've come about something else.

Max Carlton's girls.

I don't get mixed up in Max's business.

[Tony] Yeah, well we found Carlton's body yesterday

and I've been told that he used to meet his women in here.

Free country, ain't it?

Did any of them know Hannah?

What's that girl gone and got herself involved in now?

She's covering the tracks of the woman

we believe killed Carlton.

I need to know why.

Does the name Ruby mean anything to you?

She was Max's favourite.

But I've not seen them together for a while.

Why?

You'll have to ask her.

Well, do you know where I can find her?

[pensive music]

Try asking Louisa Bradfield.

Thank you, Mrs. Fletcher.

[footsteps receding]

- [door clunking] - [bell jingling]

[door slamming]

Oh, who the hell was he?

Why was he smashing up mum's office?

Unhappy voter?

Do you really think the backup copy exists?

I don't know.

Why would Geri blackmail me?

She knows I ain't got any money.

She also knows you're desperate.

Let's have another.

[glass clinking]

[liquid pouring]

[camera clicking]

[police chattering]

I know Councillor Bradfield, I'll call her.

Let her know what happened.

[cameras clicking]

[pensive music]

- [drawer clattering] - [coat rustling]

[Tony sighing]

[dramatic music]

[pensive music]

[distant siren sounding]

I told you, I have never seen it before.

That coat looks a lot like the one

that Max Carlton was wearing the night he died.

It's got blood on it.

When it comes back from the lab,

I'd lay odds on it being his.

If I'd killed him, why would I keep his coat?

Think, for God's sake.

Why would somebody turn your office over?

Well, how should I know?

You have a reputation

for being Counsellor Bradfields's fixer.

Are you aware of any link between her and Max Carlton?

No.

There was CCTV footage of Max Carlton

approaching the location where his body was later found.

There was a woman with him.

So?

She matches your height and your build.

Well, have you got a copy of this video?

Right, so you've no actual evidence.

Have you ever used the name Ruby?

No.

We believe a Ruby was involved in Max Carlton's crimes.

Now I've been told that she's someone

that Councillor Bradfield might know.

Well that's not to me, it's...

[Geri chuckling]

What's so amusing?

[pensive music]

Can you access the electoral register from here?

Or do I have to spell it out for you?

[ominous music]

Another drink?

No, I'd better keep a clear head.

I guess.

Shit.

I'm supposed to be getting my nails done at four.

[Hannah groans]

Expensive life, being a fashion victim.

I'm off home.

You all right?

Yeah.

[Hannah sighs]

[Hannah chuckles]

[paper rustling]

I don't think this slogan's gonna stick.

[Amber chuckles]

No.

[paper rustling]

[ominous music]

Speak soon.

Love you.

[door clunking]

- [ominous music] - [keyboard clacking]

[door clunking]

[ominous music]

[door clunking]

What now?

Is Amber here?

I've tried her house.

No,

I've had enough of your lies.

What are you talking about?

She is Ruby, and I'll bet she's the woman on the CCTV,

and you lied under caution.

I, I didn't know.

You must be wrong.

I'm sick of the pair of you giving me the runaround.

I need to bring her in for questioning.

Look, let me talk to her first.

I'm sure she can explain all this.

[laughing] Absolutely not.

If you shove her in an interrogation room, she'll clam up.

With me, she'll be honest.

No, you were right.

The last time I used someone, put them at risk, they died.

And I'm not prepared to do the same with you.

Let me try.

No!

Where is she?

And no more lies.

She said she was going to college.

There was a book she needed to pick up.

Alright, but you and I are not done.

[footsteps clomping]

[door clunking]

[ominous music]

[door slamming]

[ominous music]

Amber, Warden's after you.

[ominous music]

You need to ditch your phone.

We need to meet.

[ominous music]

[flowers rustling]

[footsteps clomping]

What the hell is going on?

Why do you wanna meet me here?

[sombre music]

Warden's hardly gonna look for you on the swings.

[sombre music]

I needed to talk to you before he does.

[chain jangling]

Why?

I need you to tell me I'm wrong.

[swing squeaking]

I need you to tell me that you didn't kill Max.

Of course I didn't.

[pensive music]

Are you recording this?

For fuck's sake.

You are my oldest friend,

the person I love the most in the world.

I wish to God I hadn't seen this.

That, that top, that's the same one

the woman on the CCTV was wearing the night Max was killed.

Loads of people must have that one.

It's off the rack.

So let's go to yours.

Show me you've still got it.

Please.

I gave it to a charity shop.

I spoke to Jules from school.

You said you went to her birthday piss-up in Leeds

the night Max was killed.

So?

Jules said you didn't arrive 'til well after midnight.

And when you spoke with me earlier that night,

you said you were already there.

[pensive music]

I decided to go to the hotel bar and hang out for a bit.

No, no.

You were somewhere near here,

getting cleaned up before you left.

You would've got away with it,

if I hadn't seen Max on the CCTV.

[chain jangling]

You knew I was afraid to go out at night. [scoffs]

So you thought I wouldn't be at work.

You didn't realise I'd swapped shifts with Simon.

[footsteps clomping]

The cameras were your mum's big scheme,

so you knew she done them on the cheap.

[footsteps clomping]

You knew they were no good at night.

No one was gonna recognise your face

on that crappy night vision.

Even me.

Somehow, you convinced Max to recreate the same scam

he tried to pull with Zoe.

Yeah, this looks good.

Just like old times, eh?

[Hannah] You had him alone, off camera.

No one was gonna miss him.

[sinister music]

I reckon we're going to make a Killing tonight.

- [knife thudding] - [Max grunts]

For Zoe, you prick.

[tense music]

[Hannah] But your top got torn in the struggle.

- [Max groaning] - [material ripping]

[body thudding]

Your top was torn, you took Max's coat to cover you up.

[tense music]

[bin trundling]

You used to live in the neighbouring block of flats.

You knew what was under the bins.

[metal clanging]

You threw away your ruined top and scarf

knowing the bins would be emptied the next morning.

He deserved to go in that sewer.

[bin thudding]

Like the rat he was.

That's why you did it there,

to humiliate him in death.

[footsteps clomping]

I thought I saw Max leaving.

I saw what I wanted to see.

Have you heard yourself?

[ominous music]

You've not been well.

Do not start that shit with me.

Ruby.

When you heard me tell Warden that name, you panicked,

tried to set up Geri.

So you must have gone to your mum's office earlier that day,

planted the coat, sent the email.

Hannah, please stop.

The one thing I couldn't resist

was a copy of the CCTV footage.

You knew that.

So you pretended she had one.

I suppose you were gonna discover the coat in her desk.

But we were interrupted.

Lucky for you, Warden still recognised it,

and she was arrested.

[pensive music]

[door slamming]

Well, this better be good.

Hannah's just sent me on a wild goose chase

to some beauty college and Amber's ditched her phone.

Look.

[mouse clicking]

[pensive music]

What the hell are they doing?

[pensive music]

Tell me I'm wrong.

[sombre music]

Please.

[sombre music]

You are my friend.

Practically my sister,

and you sent your boyfriend to hurt me.

Who does that?

You kept questioning what had happened.

[sombre music]

Getting too close to the truth.

Jim was only supposed to scare you off.

Why were you with him in the first place?

I found out Max had killed Zoe,

and I knew no one was gonna do a damn thing about it.

Max was laying low,

so I started hanging out with Jim

'cause I knew we'd cross paths sooner or later.

How did you persuade Max to go to the blind spot with you?

I told him I wanted to get back at my mum.

Finally giving a damn about her bloody career.

Said I wanted to show how stupid her security cameras were.

By pulling a con right under their noses.

And he went with that?

He's a cocky bastard.

Thought this was my way of showing

I'd learned my lesson for getting clean.

[sombre music]

Now what?

It's up to you.

Bullshit.

You're never gonna let this go.

You'll go to the police.

Once you know the truth, you can't ever look away.

It's always been your problem.

Well then, don't make me do it.

[distant dog barking]

I'm giving you the chance to do the right thing.

The right thing?

[sombre music]

I did the right thing when I killed that bastard.

[pensive music]

I did the right thing when I killed the bastard.

[tense music]

[Tony sighs]

It's all over, isn't it?

[distant dog barking]

Will you come with me to the police station?

[tense music]

I can't do this alone.

Whatever you need.

[suspenseful music]

[keyboard clacking]

[Simon] The last time I saw them

was when they left the playground.

[keyboard clacking]

[tense music]

It's no good.

I've lost them, they're somewhere we don't have cameras.

Shit.

Why couldn't the silly girl just have stayed out of it

like I told her.

That's kind of her thing.

I'm not losing somebody else. [sighs]

Yeah, look, this is Detective Sergeant Warden.

Do we still have an active trace on the phone

of a Hannah Quinn?

Please.

Please find her.

[tense music]

Suspects were last seen travelling out of town

- in a black- - [door slamming]

[tense music]

[engine purring]

[tense music]

[engine purring]

[tense music]

The police station's that way.

I need time to think.

Amber, you're making a huge mistake.

[engine purring]

[tense music]

You can't prove anything.

I've got your confession.

The CCTV.

Doesn't record sound.

Simon can lipread.

Warden was with him at the CCTV.

You set me up.

I'm sorry.

[suspenseful music]

[siren blaring]

[Police Operator] Brave Whiskey 12, what's your location?

I need backup.

I am in pursuit of a suspect heading south on Atkins Road,

heading towards Aylesbury Quarry.

Vehicle is a black Audi A3, over.

- [engine purring] - [siren blaring]

[suspenseful music]

[Hannah] Amber, where the fuck are we going?

Stop the car.

[suspenseful music]

[siren blaring]

[Amber] Shit!

- Amber! - I'm not going to prison.

Slow down!

[melancholy piano music]

[wheels trundling]

Nice service.

It was horrible.

Yeah.

[Hannah sighs]

I'm sorry I misled you.

I just needed to hear her say the words myself.

You tried to give her a chance, I get it.

I was a selfish cow.

If we'd had done things properly,

we wouldn't be here.

[footsteps clomping]

You arrested Lou?

Hasn't she suffered enough?

Well, you're the one that told me what she'd done.

What did you expect?

Well, you let me off the hook.

No, that was the CPS.

I don't make the rules around here.

That's news to me.

I guess you get to retire in peace.

Skulk off to some allotment or somewhere.

I'm staying in the force.

You really must need the money.

It's not about the money.

What then?

Maybe to make amends for all the times I screwed up.

How noble.

Truth is, I'm a cop, I don't know how to do anything else.

So I may as well try to be a good one.

[pensive music]

Well, good luck.

You too.

Oh, and don't take this the wrong way,

but, uh, I hope I never see you again.

[pensive music]

Feelings mutual.

[pensive music]

[Tony chuckles]

[footsteps clomping]

[pensive music]

See you tomorrow, Roy.

[footsteps clomping]

- [door clunking] - [bell ringing]

[dog barking]

What do you want?

Are the council still going ahead?

Yep.

Either I leave me house, or they take him away.

[sombre piano music]

How can they do that?

This estate is me home, but Wolf's me family.

Give him to me.

What?

Let me look after him.

You can see him whenever you want.

I thought you were moving away.

It's not far.

And I promise we'll visit.

[Dolly sighs and kisses]

[Dolly sobs and kisses]

[distant children shouting]

[footsteps clomping]

Will you miss it round here?

Maybe.

Never lived anywhere else.

At least you'll have a friendly landlord.

[Hannah laughs]

If you put the rent up after the first month,

you'll have hell to pay.

Noted.

And I won't wanna stand for any funny business,

or I'll do you for sexual harassment.

No.

No, of course not.

Unless I'm in the mood for funny business,

and then I'll let you know.

Okay, how?

You'll know.

God, modern life is so confusing.

[Hannah laughs]

I didn't know you were bringing a dog.

He's well behaved, kind of.

Well, I am allergic.

- Oh. [chuckles] - [sombre piano music]

Just try and keep him in your room.

Yeah, that's really gonna happen. [laughs]

[Hannah sighs]

You'd better not be one of those blokes

that leaves and loo seat up.

[Simon] Oh no, don't worry.

I often sit down anyway, it's way comfier.

[Hannah] No, no, complete turn off.

[Simon] What?

[Hannah laughs]

Oh what, whatever.

[Hannah] Oh, and you're doing the bins.

[Simon] Oh no, we can make a rota.

We'll make it fair, we'll switch over.

- Come on. - [Hannah] I can't.

It's up to you.

[suspenseful theme music]
