Did you have any?

What's your favourite? Apple fruits. No. The sherbet one with the lolly. Dib dab. Is that

the one with the lolly? Because I don't like the one with the licorice. Yeah, it's the one

with the lolly.

We need to get her some sweets, okay? But we don't have any money, do we? We don't need

any, if you help me. All you need to do is go into the shop and tell the man that you've

lost your dad. Why? Just to distract him from it, okay? Why? Because I can't, he doesn't

like me. Why? Are you going to say that all day, do you want some sweets? Come here, look.

Do you remember... You got lost in Safeway. You went up to that laden and asked if she

could help you find your dad. Yeah. Just do that, OK? But my dad's aware I watched it this

week. I know, it doesn't matter. But what if he calls my dad like the lady did? He doesn't

know who your dad is. Just act upset for a minute and then run away, OK? I'll meet you there.

How I'll get you waffle fruits and dip dabs.

You go first.

No. What can I do for you then? My friend was in here. The little boy? Yeah. He was looking

for his dad. Nah, it's okay. His dad come and took him.

you

I've never been up there.

I go up there all the time.

You've heard what they're gonna do then? Yeah.

they've been to see you. The police, no. No, the reporters, the media. You know what they're

like. You. I don't know where I live now. I made sure of that. And the police? What are

they talking about? There's nothing they can do this time.

He said it all sentences of law.

It can't happen.

Come.

If I could find something, if I could find Danny, I could never let him out then. Do you really

think Dunny's up there on the Mall? You are. And who knows how many. I know. And all the

chances are fine.

I have to try, don't I? I have to do something.

One thing I know isn't crazy, even if I never find anything, I can put it out there. What

they're doing, that they're about to let a monster out. I can make sure everyone knows.

You mean go to the media? I'd never go to those bastards. Then what?

I wanted to talk to you. you have that radio show on the internet.

My podcast. Yeah, well... You can show what I'm doing. You know how to put this stuff out

there. That's... That's not how it works. That's not what I do. I talk to people. People in

entertainment, that's all. We're not a documentary. All I want is for you to show everyone, make

it so they can't ignore it and they can't let him out. Bill, I really can't do it. I know

it's not exactly what you're doing now. No, it's not that I won't. I can't. My little podcast

wasn't a success. Hardly anyone listened, my numbers were terrible. I've got a day job to

pay the bills. I mean, I'm not the person to put out there what you're doing.

I'll be at your show. I didn't think it was your kind of thing. Oh yeah.

Jack will listen to it every week.

It's about something in the end. You know, so I did too.

And every week I'd wonder if this were the show where you'd talk about what happened. Mount

Dany. And I wonder if this were the show where I'd see that look on my wife's face, the same

one she had every time they talked about on TV.

But you never did. You never talked about the one thing that would get your numbers up, get

your notes just...jered in the news. And you can't tell me they haven't offered you stuff,

stuff that you really wanted, you know, just to talk about it.

Over the years those vultures in the papers got to everyone, you know. Parents, brothers,

sisters, uncles, cousins. I don't mean it.

People have to know what I'm doing. And that means the media. But after all they've done,

it can't be them. And it can't be tainted like that.

That's why we have to be the ones to do this.

Come on, I'll introduce you.

Yeah. This is Liz. She's a friend in one of the Moor ranges. She's been helping me stay

safe up here. Safe? Yeah, these are peat moors. Rich habitat for wildlife, but, er... well,

there's dangers as well. Especially off the established trails where we'll be going. You

sure you don't want to come?

The first disappearance was very concerning to us at the time. Once we realised there was

a pattern of children going missing, that became our only priority. But there was not much to

go on. There was very little evidence. Oh, it were awful. They called it the Summer of Fear.

And it did put the fear into everybody, every parent. You just kept hold of your children

all the time. I remember mum, she used to just let me go to school and it was fine, right?

And then when all of this happened... Yeah, she used to drop me off, drop my brother off,

and that was it. We got picked up straight after school, teachers dropped us off at the gate,

mum picked us up and off we went back again. I remember once losing my daughter in the supermarket

and literally, she'd only turned round to look at something, but the panic that were there...

You just don't let go of their hands for a minute, just in case they disappeared. Well, yeah,

the hardest part was dealing with the parents. It's difficult to imagine what something like

that must have been like. There was a speech in the school hall, and they sent us to speak

to this woman, social worker, something, I don't know. We all had a chat with her. I guess.

How did it go? Oh, nothing today.

yours.

You look shattered. Yeah. They covered a lot of area though. Could you grab the map army

codes and I'll show you?

and this is where we'll be tomorrow. What's it like out there?

There's no place for the kids, are there?

To the point on, we directed our attention towards the moor. They were up there all the time,

volunteering, searching. We never really thought about the place before then. It was just there.

The weather was awful, apparently rain, mist. Any way it could have been hindered us, it

did. The logistics of searching so much, were quite honestly dangerous moorland. They never

found anything. We used to go berry picking in Sumer, do you remember? It was like a village

traditional summer, but it just stopped. No last month or anything. Just stopped. People

just didn't go anymore. Sad.

Normally, it's around about 10% of young people who leave the area that they were brought up

in. But since that summer, it's been up to 50%. Personally, I think that they just didn't want

to see that place out of their window anymore.

Hey, dear Brew, send you on your way. Thanks.

You know, seeing you all grown up like this is... Strange. Being back here is strange.

Yeah, I'll bet. No, I was going to say nice. It makes me realize how many years older I

am. Is it hard for you to do all this?

It brings things back, yeah. Yeah, I bet.

I'm Bill. Peace, Bill.

Still goes up there, you know. Yeah, I know, I heard.

I've actually been meaning to ask you.

Do you mind? No.

So this is where Bill's been looking. Where are the areas you searched?

I don't recognise any of these places on here.

And what I can gather, we were looking about five miles that way.

I'm confused, Sue. Were you not looking on them all? Yeah, of course we were. You think this

is the more?

That's the more.

How? I mean. anything be found in this? Well, the odds were never good. Even if you were

searching a specific area, the chances of finding someone in that kind of terrain.

And now, 25 years later, I really have no idea why Bill is searching in that particular area.

you

It sounds really not on my side now. I heard. Claire, this is Alex. Hello. Hey.

Let me know how it goes, okay?

Who's that? Just a friend.

Right, health and safety speech. We walk in a row, I'll go in the lead. Keep the person

in front of you in sight. It's easy to get turned around out there and there are no landmarks.

Now we're not tracking too far in today, just a couple of miles or so, but it's not easy

going. I'll be making sure we avoid the peat bogs. So try to make sure you're following

in my footsteps.

Yeah, people go surfing with these. What about the phone?

that stuff with you? Just some emergency gear, that's why I'm here, keep everyone safe.

Yeah, Pete Ruff's. Sometimes you call him Pete Ags.

Is it always like this? This isn't too bad actually. It's going easy on us, eh, this? Yeah, the

weather can change quite quickly. The inconsistency in the air pressure.

How you doing? It's...

It's something. What did you expect? I don't know.

Do you really think we're gonna find something out here? I mean, even if it was right next

to us, do you think we're doing something other than just, well, walking? There is something

to find here. I know there is.

What is it? Peat bog, a big one.

any different. Oh it's there. Can't go any further that way.

Wait! Don't touch it!

needs to preserve it.

Thanks for coming. There's another. The Neolithic, you can find them all over these moors. But

we're going back, aren't we? Back the same way we came. Sure. We didn't pass these on the

way out, so how can we be going back? We can't be going back the same way, can we? Claire,

it's okay, I know where we're going. You're okay.

I know it's been a long day, but I'm thinking what we've found.

It's the same. It all ends the same. Hey, pace yourself. Claire, it's alright. We're not lost.

How do we know? How do we know? It's really not much further.

Claire! Wait!

me. the area.

see from your perspective. That's a disturbing thing to...

It's just in evidence.

It wasn't brilliant police work that brought him down, that's for sure. It was primarily

luck, if I'm honest. Or bad luck for him.

It's like a cloud lifted off everyone. We didn't know we had the right person at first. But

we all felt that we were looking at someone who just shouldn't be out there. They always

say, you seem normal, could be guy next door. But no. Something about him. There was this

thing about not showing his face on the news, you know, cos it'd make him a celebrity or

somewhere. Actually, that made it more scary. Especially for us kids. Like, how scary must

his face be for them not to show it? You know what I mean?

What those hands had done. What those eyes had seen. Mistakes were made in the investigation.

And some were made public, but others weren't. It was those mistakes that were to blame for

the single life sentence that was handed down. One life sentence, which amounts to 25 years.

Thanks for watching.

There's no doubt in my mind that when he gets out, it'll be a danger.

And we'll bear some of the blame for that.

If you think that might be a reason for the police not wanting the investigation reopened,

then it might draw attention to those mistakes.

Any?

money?

Bye!

sleep either.

Where do we go from here?

I need you to keep an open mind, okay?

Isn't that when you walk around with a stick? That's water dowsing, yeah. It's the same principle,

but it doesn't just work for water. I'm a little lost here. I use a focus. That was Danny's?

Something that had significance to him in life. And then the pendulum guides me to what I'm

focusing on.

I know, I was skeptical at first too. It was Jacqueline that was always more open-minded

about this kind of stuff. This is how you've been deciding where to search? Yeah, and it

led to something. It worked, didn't it?

Maybe it'd be easier if you just show her.

But if I'm honest, Bill, I think we're at the end of what I can do for you. There is more

to find out there. I'm not doing science. It isn't exact. I was focusing on an item that

belonged to a missing child, and it led you to an item that belonged to another missing

child. I'm not sure there's anything more I can do. Maybe you're right. What about her?

I mean, she's more... ..better at this kind of stuff, isn't she? Let's not go there, Bill,

okay? You have your priorities and I have mine.

What are we talking about? Can you give us a minute?

Hi. The decision was made and you agreed. You saw what happened last time. Dad? If you were

the father here, what would you do? Dad.

You called her? You called her as well? I decided to come.

Didn't it worry you that he was just, you know, after your money?

Yeah, it would do for Debra Osborne, yeah.

There were plenty of characters I didn't like around back then. Just looking for money or

trying to get on the news, sell a book.

Jocelyn gave some of my chance and I never did.

But Alex and Eleanor, they were different.

It has to be kept out of it. I should have never told anyone about them.

and Alex, he doesn't want to be involved.

If she tried to well before, with or without issues, we should possibly kid back then.

issues.

I don't really understand it myself.

Bye.

No.

Seems nice. Yeah.

I'd like to try something different.

Can you not sit there? Sorry. Sorry.

I'm not feeling anything.

Thanks for watching!

I'm okay.

Thanks for watching!

four, one.

Three, one, four, one. Five.

Five.

nine two six five three five nine

It's quite a trek out that far. It'll take a lot of the day just to get there and back.

And so how long does that leave us to search the area itself? I'm not sure. Maybe a few

hours. In a day? That's... That's a lot of area to cover. Do we have that kind of time?

I'll go with you. Ellie, no. Dad, Claire's right. There's not enough time for Bill to cover that

kind of ground. It could take months. That's not what we agreed. You know someone has to

go. That's how it works. Dowsing the map gives a general area, but somebody has to be on the

ground. I don't think it's a good idea for you to go up there. Well then who? No, your dad

could be right about this. It's not like I'm gonna be up there on my own.

Are you sure? I'm not gonna say I don't, but... ..need your help.

You'll be okay. You've got the two of you to look after me, haven't I?

Thanks for watching!

You're a student.

What is it you're studying? Applied mathematical theory. You were expecting to think a bit more

woo, weren't you? Got enough woo in my life. She got her woo from her mom. You do the math

thing though, don't you? Dows in maths is pretty basic. So what was it with all the numbers?

When things get overwhelming, it's something to focus on. It's not always easy, what she

does. It's an anchor type thing. And number sequences are solid, dependable. They don't

change. We were using pi. And who doesn't like pi?

What's that? Oh, it's a dig. They're up here from the university sometimes, looking for

stern age artefacts, that kind of thing.

Is that a tent? More people, more distance, more precautions. I mean, we're not staying

the night, but in an emergency, we'll be glad of some shelter. And there's this as well.

And these work anywhere, so don't worry. We're covered.

I'll film it over. Main reason I'm here, yeah.

We like to keep a low profile when it comes to this kind of thing. Bill Toby. You really

don't want her up there, do you?

Ellie has a gift. And she always wants to use it to help people. Mostly that's okay. But

in cases like this one, it's not good. What do you mean? When it's dark, when there's violence

involved, when it's something as disturbing as this, there's a cost.

You've been up here once before, haven't you? Not really. I've never stepped foot on it before.

What happened?

This place it's... is different.

You feel it too, don't you?

Give it to me. Like it's weighing on you, weighing you down.

he doesn't want us here.

place on anything. I like to stare, don't we?

Makes you wonder what they're thinking. What the hell are these people doing on our moor,

probably? Ready to press on.

We're here.

Can you? Of course.

as a child.

is hiding.

scared.

I can't find her.

No, one foot is bare.

It's okay.

We don't need to hide, we're here to help you. We're here to take you away from this place.

We're here to take you home.

Don't you want to come home? See you, Mommy and Daddy.

She can't remember.

Can't you remember? She can't remember her mommy and daddy.

All she remembers is the dark.

Can you show me your hiding place? Can you show me?

Can you do that?

You need to hide, we're not gonna hurt you.

Wait!

Is this it? Bill, stop!

Ellie! Three, one, four, one. Come on. Three, one, four, one. Three, one. Four.

Five... five...

No, no, nine, two. Nine, two... Yeah. Six... Yes.

Fine. No. Help me! Fine.

Ellie, Ellie. Eight, nine, seven, nine. Right. Eight, nine, seven, nine. Right. Ellie. Come

on. Yeah.

Yes, come on. Three, eight, four. I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.

Thank you.

Every night now. Sometimes. I'm on the mall. Sometimes I'm in the street by the shop. Sometimes...

I see that little girl's face in the mud. But the face has done it.

I don't know.

to some of your own podcasts.

No, I haven't done one since this all started. It just hasn't felt right. How's your dad?

Still mad at Bill. Are you back staying at his house again? Yeah. The media found my flat.

I can't get near it now.

One of them pretended to be a detective. I almost told him all kinds of things.

I haven't found Bill's place yet. How is he? He's Bill, it's hard to tell. when I wake up

in the night here and walking around.

I don't think he sleeps much anymore.

where he's been for days.

so straight.

Danny and the others. Bill believes he's not gonna lead them to anything. He's just playing

a game. A sick game he can't.

Pete preserved the body really well. They found some sort of forensic evidence, but with another

murdered child connected to him, there's no way he's getting out now. Do they know who

she is? I've not been able to- She wasn't one of the known victims. She was from a different

area, three years before the others.

Actually, there's no way of telling how many victims there were, but... I... agree with

Bill. I don't... think he'll ever give up what he took.

But... Danny's still... He's still up there. for my makeup. feel better if we made sure

he wouldn't roam free, but it...

Yeah, it doesn't.

I understand.

This is... hard to explain.

I have a connection with the spirit. I

guess you could call it a guardian. I have dad on one side and on the other I have Thomas.

Our bond is what allows me to do what I do. He's been with me for as long as I can remember.

protecting me from the other side. It can be loud, confusing, all those voices desperate

for attention.

Thomas stops them from overwhelming me.

without him might be. totally exposed.

When we want to open that door, Thomas is like the key. We open it just enough to glimpse

the other side, but then I have to close it.

Thomas is an old spirit. He can be temperamental. He particularly doesn't like being sat on.

He was with me the entire time up on the moor. He's always, always by my side.

But I'm telling you this so that you can try to understand what I'm about to do.

Thomas doesn't speak to me. It's more of a feeling.

but he can speak through me.

He may be the only one who can explain what we're dealing with.

It's best not to look him in the eye. It agitates him. Let's all look away.

Thomas, can you hear me?

Thomas, will you answer some questions for us?

Yes.

What can you tell us about the children?

You can't hear the children. voices, many voices, not from them, no voices from them all. What

does that mean?

Tony.

Where's Danny?

Does he remember me?

I just didn't remember his name.

What does that mean? If I find him, if I bring him home, will he be safe then?

What does that mean?

Enough, Bill.

Where's my son?

We need to go. That's where we need to go. We need to go out there and bring Danny back home.

Absolutely not. That's crazy. I wanna... Bill! No!

He needs us.

He's losing it.

This is. This is just...

Danny's still out there. He's alone.

He's not alone, Claire.

Bill's right. And we know he's right. We helped that little girl and she's safe now.

We need to help.

Five. Wow. Five circles.

I spoke with those people working at the dig we found, and they told me that every rock

carving on the moor is unique, but they all have these five circles in groups of five.

Did they say you put them here? No. At Stone Age, at least 5,000 years old. Well, those

archaeologists thought they were older. They were hoping to dig up some evidence of that.

seen one like this before.

What time is it? Still dead!

safe to keep going like this.

I'm gonna film my face.

You okay? Thomas doesn't like it here. He's...

He's nervous. He's never been nervous before.

That feeling we're not wanted here. It's so strong now. Can't you feel it?

What?

This place just feels familiar. Like I've been here before.

Anyone hungry? We've got...

granola.

Ah, chocolate.

I think I'd check on the others.

Dad, I think I might be wrong. What?

about this place that won't enter here.

There's no visibility though. We need to see where we're standing. You think it'll clear

up for us? Let's give it some time. I can call in help if we get stuck.

Shanties. Shanties? What am I, a sailor? Me old Yorkshire folk songs.

Hopefully for the best. Not that you don't have a beautiful voice, I'm sure. You'd be surprised,

actually. Phil was a lead in the Home Maw male voice choir back in the day. Really? Oh, yeah.

You get loud quiet. Voice like an angel. I can see that.

Then come on, Bill. How about it? I don't do it anymore. Just what? I said I don't do it

anymore.

I'll be fine. You need to keep me safe if you want. Really, I'll be fine.

someone there. Oi, wait!

What is his problem? How does anyone put up with him? How do you put up with him?

Right, now, now!

Did you see him? He was here. Where? That's Peter Bog. No one can stand out there. I saw

him. Don't run off like that. You know he's not safe.

Shit, I can't see the tent. Dad. I know it.

need to go back in a minute. I'm sorry about that. Don't worry about it, it's fine.

I'm curious by your vote.

My mum and dad were, well, they're nice. They just were never really there, you know? I could

get away with anything really. Even after Dunny. We never... We never really talked about it.

the bill. Bill was this old school kind of dad, you know. Strict but fair. You knew where your

limits were. And woe betide you if you tried to pass them.

after Danny. It was like, well.

They were strange men in the house the whole time. They'd ask me questions, but... Mostly

they'd be just talking out of my ears or in hushed voices.

I convinced myself it was my fault.

I fooled my parents as always and the police. But Bill, he'd... He'd know.

Bill, come on.

I remember the first time I saw a bit afterwards. came in face like thunder. in arguing with

the police, I think.

He marched right over to me. I was so scared.

So, take one look at me and you'd know.

You'd know it was all my fault, really.

That... Danny was gone because of me.

Why you hugged me?

And he said, are you okay?

And just like that, I was like, it can't be my fault.

because if it had been my fault.

He wouldn't have hugged me and asked if I was okay, you know.

We moved away straight after that. My parents just wanted it all behind us, you know?

Claire, I'm... I'm worried something wants you to...

Your time. Where are the others? He's gone. He's gone. Thomas just... He just left me.

He screamed and left me. The door's open and I can't... I can't... What do I...? There's...

There's something here. There's... There's something here. Dad, you need to help me. Dad, you need

to help me. I can't. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. You need to help me

now, Dad. You need to help me. You need to... Can you help me?

Are you helping her? What's going on?

I'm getting some help.

Yeah, we've got a medical emergency upon them. What? Look, I need someone to... I don't do

that.

I don't understand. You have your time.

Who is this? I can call in help if you get stuck. Hope for help. Hope for help. Hope for help.

Hope for help. Anyone possible?

That's not it.

Bye.

DUNN

I wish she... She's breathing. Where's Alex?

Stay with her.

I didn't run off, you ran off. What do you mean? I've been shouting my head off out here for

ages. You weren't being back from the tent. I've been out here. But you were there. I saw

you in the tent after Eleanor. Eleanor what? What's happened to Ellie?

We need to get back.

no eyes.

you

done.

Just as now.

Tell me you're not on the moor.

Well, why? Well, I can't say really, but just stay away from them all. What's this about?

Okay, but this is strictly off the record, right?

They... Well... I don't really understand it, but there was something about the weather.

somehow.

This time we'll find him.

Bill. We can't go up there again. Ellen is in hospital.

And he... He's out there now.

I know you don't need to worry about that.

I'll be ready for it.

It's been a while. I... I don't often talk about myself on here. There are things that I get

asked about a lot, but I've never talked about them.

When really bad things happen, we... We want to somehow make sense of them. Understand them.

We need to. So we can put them in a little box and tie a bow around it, put it on a shelf

and leave it there. That way it can't hurt us anymore. Some things are so senseless, so beyond

what we can understand, that we can never do that. We try to dismiss them, not think about

them, but... That just feels like a...

of the trail.

So we keep trying. We keep trying to understand, trying to make the senseless make sense, and

that leaves us unable to move on.

There's a time to accept some things will always be senseless.

So what can we do?

We can talk about them. Hank. And what I'm saying is...

I think I'm ready to talk about it now.

bring you with you.

I can't move it.

You heard him. You heard Danny in the tent.

something

She don't know where to get the fuck.

Oh

Fuck you!

I don't understand what you're doing this.

Do you know they used to bring people out here? What? Who? The dig. Told me about the peak

bodies that kept turning up here over the years. Dead people. Preserved in the peak over thousands

of years old. You were sacrificed. Sacrificed?

in the Stone Age, they used to bring people out here, suffocate them, bury them, to appease

some evil.

No. Don't you understand? something out here.

Something old. Something terrible. Something that people have always been scared of and

Danny was sacrificed there, only it wasn't meant to be him.

Where is this coming from? You heard it. The voice in the tent. You understood that?

They said I needed to do this. Oh

my god. It was never Danny it wanted really. It was you. It was always supposed to be you.

Please, please, please. Keep moving!

going over that soon.

to make it all the way. This time we go all the way. over what.

This is it.

I think he had a pool. But there should be something here! Why isn't there anything here?

Just listen to me for a moment, okay?

Listen to me. Instead of I brought you here, I'd find Danny.

That's what he said, that's what the voice said. Bill, look around. Danny's not here. Think

about it. How could he be here, Bill? How could Danny be here now?

So I have to get him back. It promised, the voice promised.

He's been gone for 25 years, Phil. This place is making you not yourself. Think about what

you're doing, where we are. Please, please.

Please, Bill, let's just go home.

AHHHHH BOOM AHHHHH

Oh

Ew.

I don't know. What?
