Original subtitles

Could we not help each other when the time comes,

make a more elegant exit? We'll do it out of love.

ALL: Truelove!

I've got a month or two left, and that's it.

We know what you did for Tom.

And we thank you for it.

I want it too.

Truelove.

I've missed you.

I think I thought about you every day.

I think you should leave.

You don't mean that. Yes, I bloody do!

I think I'm going out of my mind a bit.

They took me to the station for questioning.

It's routine.

That girl, sniffing about the place.

Are you getting a bit... obsessed with this?

You didn't see Marion, OK?

There's no way she could have planned all this, done it herself.

Well, what about the husband? I think he's in on it.

I missed it.

Missed what?

The dementia.

You did get a second opinion?

Yes, of course.

There's nothing here.

But she was convinced she had it.

So would I be if I was on that many meds. The man was in shock.

David Crownshaw was not upset enough about his wife's death.

You spoke to him. You saw it.

Did you plan it? Did you confuse her on purpose?

But I didn't kill her, did I?

I was a hundred miles away while you and Ken were doing that.

She didn't have it.

Dementia. No.

We saw her. We were with her. She was in agony.

He lied about their wedding date, Ken.

He was tricking her. I'm going to make it right.

I'm going to call the police. You can't make this right.

Where did you see you were going again?

What's this all about?

Come back to the station with me, yeah?

Pick up. Pick up!

VOICEMAIL: This is Ken Holding. Leave a message.

Look, I really need to be discharged.

Well, as I have told you multiple times,

you need to wait till 8am to see a doctor.

I can't discharge you. Please go back to your bed.

Coffee?

Cheers.

Who are you looking after? Oh, I'm not at liberty to say.

I'm home team. DCC Phil Leach.

40 years with Severn district.

Retired now. Obviously.

Hit and run.

The victim?

Perpetrator.

Joyrider in Easton, doing 60 in a 30.

Mounted the kerb, cleaned out a bus stop queue.

Yeah. Two killed instantly.

Sisters, 11 and nine.

Jesus.

And you're... Collecting overtime keeping the little prick alive.

In case the family take matters into their own hands.

If they do come down that corridor,

I've half a mind to be on a comfort break.

Do you know what I mean?

Let natural justice take its course.

What would you do?

I don't know.

I don't know any more.

It's good to see you, Ken.

What have you been doing with yourself?

Uh, not much.

Not since the last gig eight, nine years ago.

Ah, where was that, then?

Baku. Security for a refinery.

Living in a shipping container. How about you?

Ah. They need you till they don't need you,

then it's fuck off and good luck.

Army pension's piss-poor.

But what do I actually need? There's only me.

Mm.

Did you ever get back with Jane?

Susan.

No.

Burned those bridges.

And your lad?

Samuel.

See him much?

No.

Civilian life.

The hardest mission of all.

Yeah.

Well, shall we take a shufty?

Take a look in Santa's grotto. See if you've been a good boy.

Oh, hi. Um, have you seen my mother, Philippa Leach?

Um, I can't find her anywhere.

Well, I've still got to spray it.

I can have it ready for you by Monday.

It'll drive, though? It goes?

Well, yeah, it goes, but...

I'll take it as it is. What?

How much do I owe you?

Ken? Ken?

In here.

What are you doing here?

He was meant to meet me here last night,

but he didn't show up.

Where is he, Phil?

I don't know, Jean. He's doing something for you

or because of you. I know he is.

It's 1968 all over again.

It's nothing like that.

Ken, up at Temple Meads Station 5am for the milk train.

A carnation in his buttonhole.

But there's nobody there to meet him.

That's ancient history, Jean.

Is it? He took himself to the army recruitment office

on the same day. Still in his wedding suit.

Everything follows from that day, Phil. Every day, every lonely year.

DOOR SHUTS

Proper job, black market, untraceable,

museum piece, really.

Suppressor so you don't wake the grandkids.

...22 calibre, ten round magazine.

Yeah, that's plenty.

How many rounds do you need?

Isn't just the one, is it?

Nothing like that.

We should get some of the old crew back together.

Last men standing. Tell the old stories one final time.

No, you're right. Be fucking miserable.

Who wants to go on a PTSD picnic?

Yeah.

Anything else I can do for you?

Do we know anybody who could find somebody?

I need to track someone down.

Piece of piss. Give a teenager a rest from wanking.

But Ken,

what are you planning here?

Some kind of spectacular?

I just need to make a point.

Yep. Good luck, mate.

Malaga?

We didn't check in online today.

That's what I'm doing now.

Could you just...?

SHE TYPES

Is something wrong? Is there a problem?

OK. Yeah. See? What am I looking at?

Well, you've got two months and 26 days left on this.

You need three months for the EU.

This is a valid passport.

Three months' validity for the EU/Schengen.

Sorry, sir. Next, please.

No. I need to go to Spain today.

If it's an emergency, then the Passport Office will see you.

Well, the Passport... What, in London?

Newport. Just over the bridge.

Next.

Hello. Thank you very much.

CALL RINGS OUT

Pick up, Ken.

Pick up the bloody phone.

VOICEMAIL: This is Ken Holding. Leave a message.

Whatever it is you're thinking of doing, don't do it.

We're going to fix this.

Call me.

Please, Ken.

Oh, fuck!

Mm.

This.

Ayesha? Dad's jumper.

He hated that.

So you think we should lose it?

I think you should set fire to it.

This isn't easy for me either. I'm making a cup of tea.

I'm joking, Mum.

Mum. I was joking.

Shit.

PHONE BUZZES

What? Where are you?

Well, Stone told me to take some leave.

So I'm at my mum's.

Stone's not come in. No-one's seen him. What?

Just get your arse back here, would you?

HE HANGS UP

CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS ON CAR STEREO

SHE KNOCKS

David?

INTERCOM: Number 39.

Thank you.

I'm sorry for your delay, Mr Crownshaw.

We're a bit short-staffed.

Oh, uh, you've got a little something just, just there.

Yeah.

Now, your special circumstances, a sick relative, is that right?

Yes. My sister, we don't know how long she'll last.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

Thank you. Tough stuff.

Indeed. Really tough stuff.

Hmm.

Well, everything seems to be in order. Oh, wonderful.

It'll be ready for you to collect here at midday tomorrow.

Well, can't you do it now?

That's the best I can do for you. We outsource the printing.

But I've booked my flight!

It's the fastest we can do.

Oh, sh...

I do hope she can hang on.

Who?

Your sister.

Thank you, yes.

If it's useful, there's a hotel just across the road.

Honestly, I think we keep them in business. Midday tomorrow?

Midday tomorrow. Yeah.

Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Oh, Jesus.

Hey, Daniel. It's just really weird. I'm sure he's OK, but...

Well, what happened? He didn't show up for five-a-side.

Not like him at all. We had no goalie. Got stuffed. What?

Then he didn't come home. His wife called it in this morning.

Was he in a squad car? His own. Uh, red Mazda. Yeah.

Signal tower caught him in Burnham.

Burnham?

His wife said if he's having an affair, she'll kill him.

Yeah.

Bye, then.

CAR DOOR SLAMS

I'm so sorry to bother you.

I'm afraid I've mislaid my bank card again.

So silly. Senior moment. I'm sure it'll turn up.

I just wanted to check it hasn't been stolen

and nobody's using it now. Got all the details here.

Let's have a look.

It's a joint account.

My husband's fed up with me,

says I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.

Oh, it's easily done.

This is so kind of you.

Do you have your memorable word, by any chance?

Um, could you give me a tiny clue?

Uh, a maiden name, maybe?

Richards.

I was Marion Richards.

Yeah, there we go.

So, last used...

Oh, just now.

In Newport, the Gryphon Hotel.

Gosh, I'm stupid.

What?

My husband's in Newport. Of course he's got the card.

He'll be so cross with me for making a fuss.

Can you wait here one moment, please?

SHE RINGS DOORBELL Mr Crownshaw?

Oh, shit.

Mr Crownshaw, are you home?

Hello?

Mr Crownshaw?

Mr...

Oh, my God.

Oh!

Oh!

Sir!

Fuck! Fuck.

Uh, come in, control.

Come in, control? Kareem to control.

Go ahead.

I, I, I...I've found Sergeant Stone.

Is he all right?

No. No, no, he's not.

He's not all right.

Can we send somebody quick?

CALL RINGS OUT

Hello?

Oh, hi, Kate. Oh, Mum.

Is your father there, Kate?

Um, no, no. He's out looking for you.

Where are you? Are you OK?

No, actually.

No, I'm not.

OK. Where are you? Do you want me to come get you?

Look...

I wanted to say that some things may come out about me.

Things I've done.

What, what are you talking about? What things?

And I want you to know...

...that I tried to do what was right

for the right reasons.

Mum, you are scaring me. What's... what's going on?

I wasn't a good mother to you, Kate.

I'm so sorry. Mum, come on.

Granny's on the phone.

Phil? Where are you? Phil?

I'm sorry, Nigel.

I'm so sorry.

For everything.

SHE HANGS UP

Ma'am.

You need to find David Crownshaw. Yes. We are taking care of that.

Oh, really?

Go back to the station, PC Kareem.

You've had a shock, and you need to make a statement.

I'll get somebody here to drive you.

RADIO: Receiving reports, suspect found. I repeat, suspect found.

We'll handle this.

SIREN STARTS

TV: ..spacious, I love the windows, the doors,

I love the light that comes in here. It's so cool in here as well...

KNOCKING AT DOOR

TV: ..yes, it's beautiful because of the special design of this place.

If you see behind you...

MORE KNOCKING

Who is it?

David, it's Phil.

CAR DOOR SLAMS NEARBY

How did you find me?

Did I mention I was in the police force for 40 years?

Oh, no, no, no. You've never mentioned it.

You were always terribly modest about the whole thing.

We've got to talk, David.

Put that down.

Where's Ken?

I don't know. But he's looking for you.

So, before he finds you, I want us to turn ourselves in.

Confess to assisted suicide.

No more than that.

What about Ken?

He stays out of it.

Why?

I got him into this.

It was all me.

But you and I, we can still make this right.

PHONE CHIMES

What are you doing, Ken?

Is this what you want to do with the time you have left?

I mean, I was never one for scripture.

Everything I wanted to do was forbidden,

as I remember.

But wasn't there something in there about turning the other cheek?

I remember there being something about an eye for an eye

and a tooth for a tooth.

Where's that going to get you, Ken?

You end up with no eyes and no teeth.

That's how we end up anyway. Leave me alone.

I won't turn myself in, Phil. I can't.

Come with me to Spain.

Well, why not?

I think we are very similar, you and I.

Do you?

Yes, I do, actually.

We both married people

who made our lives smaller.

You know,

I was more than a little in love with you at school.

Well, it's true. We all were.

I even thought, in my vanity, that I had a chance.

That was a long time ago.

Well...

...you were very beautiful. You still are.

Thank you.

What have I done? What have I done?

I didn't mean it, I swear. He caught me by surprise.

What are you talking about?

It was an accident, I promise you. A horrible accident.

What are you talking about, David? What have you done?

The policeman, Stone!

He came to the house.

He said he knew about the pact. About Truelove.

I hit him.

I bloody killed him.

I've killed a police officer.

What can we do? What can we do now?

KNOCKING AT DOOR

David? Open the door. You bitch.

Open the door.

You treacherous little liar.

I had no idea.

An ambush, is that what this is?

Ken, leave us, please.

STEADY THUMPING AT DOOR

Don't do anything stupid. Go home, Phil.

You little piece of shit. Stop. Ken, stop. Move, Phil!

What are you going to do to me, huh?

Phil, move.

Please.

I swear to God. Move.

Ken, put that down. Don't do something you'll regret.

I already have.

You coward. You fucking coward.

Why would you do this to Marion?

She was the best of us.

Oh, yes, the best of us. The kindest.

And yet she bored us all senseless, didn't she?

She did. I know she did. Rabbiting on.

Never having a bad word to say about anyone.

Never rocking the boat.

Always wanting everyone to be so bloody nice.

Well, I'll tell you something.

Nice is a fucking prison

when you're married to it for 50 years, isn't it, Phil?

What's a treat?

An M&S dine-in meal with half a bottle of fizzy wine.

What's an adventure? A musical in London at Christmas.

No variation, no excitement,

no yearning for anything different, anything new.

And that...

...was my whole life.

Because I am, with all my faults,

bloody loyal.

Which is more than I can say for you two.

Enough.

Ken, give me the gun.

Give me the gun.

Go.

You coward. David's agreed to turn himself in, haven't you?

I have. Yes, I have. I promise. I swear, Ken.

It's not worth it, Ken. Think about Samuel.

Think about your granddaughter. Look at me.

Ken... Ken.

Come on.

Come on. Do it for me.

Do it for us.

That's good.

OK. OK.

Thank God.

Thank you.

All this fuss.

What?

Over Marion.

SIRENS WAIL

INAUDIBLE SPEECH

What are we doing, Phil?

Find a quiet spot.

Pull over.

I need to call home.

Put things in order.

PHONE BUZZES

Hello?

Hello.

It's Phil Leach.

Yes, I'm alone.

I did come back.

Not to the train station that night.

Phil, that's ancient history.

It's not.

Not marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life.

I did come back for you, though.

Afterwards, when you didn't come home.

Those weeks and months...

Tried to find you.

Looked up your regiment,

and one afternoon I drove up onto Salisbury Plain.

When was this?

Maybe a year later.

Borrowed a panda car.

I got to the guard house,

they showed me a map of the camp and they...

...they directed me to the married quarters.

I sat outside your house for... I don't know how long.

Then you were there, in the kitchen window,

doing the washing up.

There must have been music playing, you were singing along.

I couldn't hear what the song was.

Then she came in, Susan,

and the two of you danced in the kitchen.

You in your rubber gloves.

You looked... happy.

What did you do?

Drove back, went to work.

I thought you didn't want me.

It's only ever been you.

I think...

...we need a cup of tea.

Fortify ourselves.

See if you can find something stronger.

Will do.

Constable.

Ma'am.

Phil...

Phil!
