Original subtitles

12 pounds, 57 pence in cash, mobile phone, one set of keys,

one watch, one gold ring.

I can't believe I've got you back.

How are you?

You OK?

Yeah, I'm OK.

I got here at 11:00.

I know you said you wouldn't be out till later.

But I just couldn't wait.

Please, can we just go home?

I can't say that I expected

to see you back here again.

I mean, of course, it's a tragedy about Karen's suicide.

But, but why are the police still investigating?

I'm just tying up the loose ends, Mr. Fowler.

So you were here all day Friday?

Uh, no, I wasn't, actually.

I left mid-afternoon.

And Karen left shortly

afterwards at just after 3:30.

I'd like to know how you knew that.

Well, this is a printout from your own security systems.

Anytime anyone sweeps in or out, the time gets recorded.

And you got that from my own security department?

I don't remember authorizing it.

Would you have preferred to have withheld it.

No.

No, no, of course not.

I want to help the police in any way I can.

Now, 3:33 does seem very early to be leaving work.

You got any idea why?

No, no, I'm afraid I don't.

She was normally very conscientious.

Susie.

Sorry, I really don't see what this has to do with anything.

No, I'm just trying to understand why

she might have left early if it wasn't

something she normally did.

Well, I'm afraid I have no idea.

Maybe she wasn't quite as trustworthy as I'd hoped.

No, maybe she wasn't.

See you've got a new PA already.

Yes.

When did she start?

That would be last Tuesday.

That was quick.

That's before Karen's body was even found.

OK, Mr. Rampton, if we can just take this from the top,

you are the registered owner of the vehicle,

registration number EX51SXO.

Yes, I bought it for the business.

Then you were aware that Daniel

was making the trip to Holland?

Yeah, he was picking up some stock.

It was always Jeffrey's business, Jeffrey and I.

We built it up from scratch.

Then Daniel came out of the army.

That was about two years ago.

And he was having trouble finding work.

So Jeffrey gave him a job.

To be honest, I was against it from the start.

Why was that, Mrs. Rampton?

Do I really have to answer your questions?

This has got nothing to do with me.

It's all Daniel.

OK, now, you told us that you had spoken

to Daniel since the collision.

I haven't.

Then maybe you can explain this 'cause he called

you shortly after 6 o'clock.

We triangulated the call.

It was from the collision site.

OK, he rung me.

But I didn't speak to him.

Why are you lying?

I'm not lying.

It's 'cause you knew, didn't you,

that there was a compartment cut into the base of the van.

No, I didn't know.

And there was a man concealed there.

And that man's now dead.

Jeffrey wouldn't do that.

He's got a family.

He's not like that.

And Daniel is?

That man's capable of anything.

I don't know.

A man died, Mrs. Rampton.

A man died a very slow and very painful

death, for all we know, a family man himself.

If you know anything about this, now

would be the time to tell us, before you and your husband

end up in prison.

He shouldn't have been there.

Who shouldn't have been there?

The man that you say was in the back of my husband's

van, if he was illegal, then he shouldn't

never have been there.

We can't be blamed for an illegal stowaway.

It's not my fault he's dead.

It's not my husband's either.

And for all you know, even Daniel could have driven

off not knowing he was there.

You're letting them go?

Don't see how he can keep them.

We've got nothing concrete.

Anyway, we have better luck, I'm hoping

they'll lead us t the brother.

Heard the news, poor bugger in the back of the van.

They say he was alive for four days.

Amazing nobody heard him.

Yeah, they think he was slipping

in and out of consciousness most of the time.

You should have a word with Guy Pearson.

He's completely gutted.

Yeah, I'll do that.

Hey, John, can I have a word?

Sure.

I don't whether to tell you this

or not, but, but Harry Canwell.

What about him?

He got out this morning.

What?

10 months.

Nine, nine months, Steve, nine months, one day.

So let him out?

Yeah, well, I, uh, I figured you'd find out sooner or later.

Yeah, thanks.

You OK?

Aye, I'm fine.

Sandra and Jeffrey Rampton.

Yeah, delightful couple,

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their house tonight.

Do you want to go eat dinner?

Another night, maybe.

Why?

Do you have plans?

Not particularly, no.

I thought--

What?

What did you think?

What, that you-- you'd apologize,

and then everything would just go back to how it was?

You're unbelievable.

You pretty much did think that, didn't you?

It's just dinner.

It's never just dinner, not with you and me.

I-- I-- I just don't want it to go back to the way it was.

Here you are.

No, not for me, thanks.

Harry?

Have you decided what you want to do?

It's a bit soon for all that, isn't it?

Well--

I don't know.

I guess I'll get my old job back.

Do you think they'll give it to you?

Well, they said they'd hold it open for me.

But that was before the sentencing.

OK, well, we'll see.

I'm sure everything will work out in the end.

I know it will.

Listen, I've got to go to Romford tomorrow,

Sidney Norris's place?

Do you want to come?

Well, we're supposed to be in this together, right?

I'd like to think so, yeah.

I miss you.

Yeah, I know.

I meant it, John.

Jodie's been through enough.

I just feel that if I tell her about you and me--

I just don't want to lose her.

She's your daughter.

She loves you.

You're not gonna lose her.

Hello, hello, hello.

Hi there.

So are the police offering a taxi service these days?

No, Ann gave me a lift.

I didn't know you were working with her.

I'm working with Uh, she just happened

to be on call on the night.

Right.

That's good, isn't it?

Been a long day.

Do you want a drink?

You look completely knackered.

I am.

Getting old.

You should be the one in the wheelchair.

Shut your face.

And get me a drink.

Turn this car round.

Turn it round!

For God's sake, Joyce!

Ah!

Christy?

Christy, what you doing in here, love?

Why did you tell the police that mom's seatbelt was undone?

Because it was.

I-- it was done up when she left here.

I know it was.

I clipped her in myself.

I-- I can remember doing it.

But you know what she was like.

She was always taking it off.

I tried to get her to put it back on, but--

You shouldn't have been on the A12.

I know.

All right, look, I wasn't taking her to Sandhills.

I wanted to show your mother something, a residential home,

somewhere for her to live.

But she was living with us.

She was ruling us.

She was ruling you.

Everything was just always about her.

And the way she treated you every day, grinding you down--

Well, someone had to look after her.

But it didn't need to be you.

There was no one else.

And didn't she let you know it?

Look, don't you remember.

We had plans.

I was talking about retiring.

We were going to go on a cruise.

This was going to be our time, you and me.

But we never talked about a home.

Because you would never have agreed.

I know how you felt about her.

But she was destroying us.

She was destroying us because she was destroying you.

But it wasn't your decision to make.

If you hadn't gone on the A12, none of this

would have happened.

And my mother would still be alive.

I couldn't believe it when I heard.

I just couldn't believe it.

And now, I've got to think about the funeral.

And I don't even know who to invite.

You never met his family?

I don't even know if he had one.

He always kept himself to himself.

How long have you been here?

A year, it was our first anniversary

when he had the accident.

And did he always pay his rent by check?

Hmm, cash.

He was always very prompt.

Right, so you really knew nothing about him.

I knew he was a piano teacher.

At a school?

No, he gave private lessons.

Do you know where he was going at the time of the accident?

He was on his way here from Stepney.

On May 12.

This is Sidney's part of the house,

his bedroom through there.

I-- I just kept everything exactly as it was.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I don't think I want anyone else to live here.

Here's his diary.

It's got all his appointments in it.

This is new.

He loved his computer.

He spent hours on it every night.

I think we're going to have to take this in too.

What do you think we'll find on his computer?

Oh, well, I don't know.

He's a middle-aged, unmarried man.

And he teaches the piano to schoolchildren, what?

You've got a sick mind.

Jane Tarrant.

Yes, of course.

You like it?

Well--

Leon,, he studied with Kandinsky

and in 1908.

You can see the similarities.

Oh, definitely, a dynamic and expressive arrangement

of colors and lines, pioneering a completely new

visual language.

You studied Russian expressionism?

Nah, I read it on the poster outside.

I haven't got a clue what it means.

But he does use some very pretty colors.

Mm!

Thanks.

Stressful day.

Alan Faraday.

Hmm, Jane Tarrant, nice to meet you.

A million, million and a half, we could

have this hanging on your wall.

Oh, I would, but it wouldn't match my wallpaper.

Hmm.

Richard, good to see you.

Alan, how are you?

Might I introduce Jane Tarrant?

We met.

Oh, I'll leave you two together.

Yes?

Hi, I'm a friend of Sid's.

Is he in?

No.

Yeah, I've been calling him.

He hasn't returned my calls.

No, I--

I'm sorry.

He was in-- involved in an accident on May 12.

Is he OK?

Look, I lent him some computer stuff.

I'd like to get it back.

Look, I don't know who you are.

If I could come in, it would only take a second to find it.

The police are taking it.

Why?

I'm sorry.

Sidney's dead.

Thank you.

You want one?

Do you know, the more you drink, the more crazy

these paintings get?

Hmm.

Do you know they sell for nearly a million quid,

some of 'em?

I heard.

What do you think of this one?

Honestly, I like it.

Yeah, I really like it, actually.

I don't know what it means or anything.

But it's full of all that crazy color and energy,

sorta makes you want to reach out and touch it.

Well, why don't you?

No.

I'll get chucked out.

I think you're OK with this one.

Oh, why, is it a fake?

Well, I hope not.

It's mine.

You own it?

Yeah, and, um, a couple of the Kandinskys.

I lent them to the exhibition.

Well, how much--

well, was--

Well, they were an investment.

Anyway, I think it was buy two, get one free.

Oh, my god.

You own it.

Go on.

And you didn't even set the alarm off.

What?

Don't. Oh, my.

Come on.

I want to take you out. come on

We are out.

No, I mean out, out.

I'll get my car to pick us up.

I'm going to buy you lunch, best restaurant in town.

No.

I've got a better idea.

It's gonna take a bit of getting

used to, you know, being home?

You know, I wrote to him,

John Tolin, while I was in prison.

I kept writing to him.

Maybe he's trying to leave it behind him.

I need to see him.

Maybe he doesn't want to see you.

He has to, Linda.

He has to see me.

How much did you borrow?

How much?

10 grand.

Who did you get to lend you that kind of money?

Who do you think?

Put it this way, it weren't Barclays.

What if you can't pay it back?

This is a way out.

This is madness.

I'm only doing it for you and San, for all of us.

We were doing just fine without you.

Come on, Jeff, that's not like you.

Well, it's true.

What, you're saying you shouldn't have given me a job?

No.

Look, this could be a lot of money.

Think about that.

If Sandra ever finds out about this--

Here they are.

Let me do the talking.

How are you doing?

Right, good to see you.

What the hell have you dragged us into?

Did you consider me in any of this, our son?

That's why I did it.

I was gonna lose the business, our business.

No, no, it's not just about the business, Jeffrey,

all right?

It's everything, everything we've been working towards.

And you put that in jeopardy for Danny.

He's me brother.

He needed me help.

Yeah, and I'm your wife.

And that man is like a bloody leech on this family.

Well, what do you think the police are

gonna do when they find him?

That's why we have to help him get out of the country.

How are you going to do that, smuggle him back

out in the bottom of your van?

We know someone, a bloke called Derek.

He arranges stuff.

He should be able to get him a fake passport.

Right, where's Danny now?

He's in a B&B in Barking.

Oh, very dignified.

Right, we're going to need to speak to him.

But don't call him, right, not from the house

and definitely not from your mobile.

Now, your brother may have dragged us into this mess.

But there is no way I'm letting him pull us in any further.

From now on, you do exactly as I say.

Do you understand?

Exactly!

I can't remember the last time I did this

or had someone to do it with.

Dave not into picnics?

No, Dave doesn't see the point in eating outside.

No, you know, he's into football and pubs.

He's typical bloke's bloke.

Oh, yeah, and what does that make me?

My mom used to bring me up here when I was a little kid.

And we'd sit.

And we'd watch the city together.

She always used to say it made her feel free.

I never really knew what she meant at the time.

Listen, what do you hear?

Traffic, sirens.

The sound of a city.

You're mad.

You think?

I bet every city has its own sound.

I want to sit on a hill by Rome or Paris

and listen to its beat.

You ever done that?

No, can't say I have.

You know, you're beautiful.

You are.

Come away with me.

I'll take you to a foreign city.

Or you can show it to me like it's the first time.

Yeah, but you've seen them all already.

Yeah, but not with you, not the way you see them.

I'm serious.

Come away with me.

And you think I'm crazy.

She's getting..

Well you stick with him.

It's round here.

Thanks, Lee.

OK, see ya.

Hi Cindie, you all right?

Dave, what are you doing here?

I just need to see Jane.

Is she around?

She-- she's not here.

Why not?

Where is she?

Uh, she-- she pulled a sickie.

Um, some-- something to do with the wedding?

It's a surprise.

But you're not supposed to know.

Bugger.

I was hoping to cadge a bit of money off her.

Supposed to be meeting the boys tonight for a few drinks.

But I'm a bit short.

Well, don't look at me.

I'm as skint as the next person.

Oh, no, no, god, I didn't mean to--

let's get back to work.

Oh, and, um, don't forget, when you see Jane,

you weren't here.

Don't wanna spoil the surprise.

Yeah, right.

Oh, happy birthday, by the way.

What?

OK, wait here.

Oh, I'll give you an extra tip if you wait.

We're closed.

Are you Derek?

We haven't met.

But, um, you've met my husband and his brother,

Jeffrey and Daniel Rampton.

Never heard of 'em.

Please don't lie to me.

I certainly know you.

There's something you need to know.

They've run into a bit of trouble on the A12.

to do with me.

Police might not agree.

Look, I don't want to be in this disgusting place

any more than you want me here.

But I've got a problem, so do you.

Police are looking for Danny.

If they find him, it's gonna be bad news for me, right?

But it's gonna be even worse news for you.

So why don't you just stop pissing me around

and start taking me seriously?

All right.

I'm listening.

115 Sangoya Road.

How did you find him?

He was involved in an incident.

Are you Tolin?

Yeah, Mr?

Shah, Tariq Shaw.

This is my shop.

I also have the flat upstairs, three rooms.

And you rented a room to James Taylor?

Yes, yes, I did.

He turned up about three months ago.

He seemed all right, well dressed, well spoken.

And then I caught him trying to sneak

off without paying his rent.

Look, look what he did to me.

And he said his name was James Taylor?

He is James Taylor.

And he is a journalist.

He works for "The Guardian."

That's just around the corner from here.

And have you called them?

No, I called the police.

Look, how can you be so sure about who he is

and where he works?

He told me he is a journalist, freelance.

That's what he said.

You know, when he left, my wife went around his room.

And she found this at the back of the wardrobe.

Well, he went and left it behind, didn't he?

I knew I'd seen the name before.

Where?

Here, it's a newspaper article I took

from Karen Donnelly's house.

There were loads of them all about some war

going on in East Africa and all of them

written by the same guy.

James Taylor?

He's a journalist, the is around

the corner from "The Guardian."

That's him, over there.

Mr. Taylor?

You're James Taylor?

Yeah.

Who are you?

Impersonating me?

That's what it looks like.

Well, he'd never have got into the building with this.

Maybe that wasn't the idea.

Well, then what did he want?

Well, we were hoping maybe you could tell us.

Look, the woman we've been investigating, Karen Donnelly,

had a lot of articles written by you at her house,

cut out of the paper.

About East Africa.

Well, yeah, that's my speciality.

Right now, there's a struggle going on.

It's-- it's civil war in anything but name.

But it's not really a power struggle.

It's about oil.

The reserves are on land that's heavily populated by villages.

So the government's been clearing

these areas by whatever means possible-- intimidation,

murder.

Now, rebel groups are fighting back.

Where does our government stand on all this.

Publicly, they speak against it, of course.

But behind closed doors, and I've

been trying to prove that tacitly they're

supporting these land clearances, which is

not easy, as you can imagine.

Have you ever heard of a company called HDC Chemicals?

Karen Donnelly, she was that woman that killed herself.

And she worked for HDC.

Yeah.

Well, I thought you said you were

investigating a car accident.

Maybe we should come back another time.

He'll be home soon.

We can wait.

Harry, he may not want to see you.

He'll see me.

How can you be so sure?

You don't know what this means to me.

Closure.

No, a beginning.

Hello.

You all right, love?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I wanted to say sorry.

What for?

For what I said last night,

it wasn't fair.

No, no, 'cause-- 'cause you were quite right.

I never gave you the choice about whether my mum

came to stay with this or not.

I-- I suppose I was afraid you'd say no.

So I just offered it as a kind of fait accompli.

But do you know what?

You never once complained.

You-- you just got on with it.

You were always there for me.

And I-- I don't think I ever told

you how much that meant to me.

Well, I didn't mind.

No, I know.

But now, now that you need my support, all I could do

was blame you.

It was a senseless accident.

And-- and I can't imagine what you must be going through.

I know my mum came between us when she was alive.

I don't want her to come between us now she's dead.

Mr. Tolin?

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you.

You what?

They let me out yesterday.

I wrote to twice, three times.

Please, Mr. Tolin, I--

I know how you must feel, but I can't live with this.

You can't live with this.

I was drunk.

I made a mistake.

You fuck off.

No.

You killed my wife.

You crippled my daughter.

She's never gonna walk again thanks to you.

Yeah, but if I could go--

if I could go back, I would do any--

What?

If you could go back, you'd-- you'd what?

What? You wouldn'ta drank?

You wouldn'ta get in your car.

You wouldn'ta swerve around a corner and smash in--

I know what I did.

I swear to you.

But you have to understand that I am not a bad man.

no.

It was an office party.

I wasn't even gonna stay.

You-- you get away from me.

Go on.

Go away from my house.

Please, I can't, please!

What?

What do you want from me?

Want me to forgive you, is that it?

Yes.

You shouldn't be here You shouldn't have come here.

Now, just go, get back in your car, and go away.

Mr. Tolin, while I was inside, I read the Bible.

I don't give a shit about the Bible.

And I don't give a shit about you.

You took everything I had--

- I'd give any-- - --my wife, my child.

I'd do anything.

I could do anything.

I don't forgive you.

I hate you.

I loathe ya.

I forgive you.

You what?

For your hatred.

Bastard!

Bastard!

Please, let go.

No!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Sandra, what are you doing here?

Surprised? I bet you are.

Where's Jeff?

Being watched by the police thanks to you.

We both are.

I haven't been followed.

Do you think I want them to catch you?

This is it then, all right, all of it.

I don't ever want to see you again.

You won't.

I mean it.

I am sick and tired of Jeffrey having to bail you out.

We were doing well for ourselves before you came along.

We were a family.

We had our own life.

And if you think I'm letting you or anyone else destroy that,

then you're mistaken.

That's not enough.

I told Jeff, I need to buy a passport.

I've already arranged it.

I've been to see Derek.

You've gotta get yourself to his yard tonight.

There's a phone box on the Western

Road just outside his yard.

He'll meet you there at 10 o'clock

with a ticket and a passport.

That's to get you set up.

But that's the last of it, Danny.

I don't care where you end up, just

as long as when you get there, you don't ever come back.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to say that.

I think I mighta killed him.

No, you wouldn't.

He shouldn't have come here.

Well, not without calling you.

What?

You think that would have made a difference?

Well, you wouldn't have seen him?

Well, why would I want to?

Well, it might help.

Who, him or me?

Dad.

Nine months, the bastard, he got nine months.

He wants me to forgive him.

Well, maybe you should.

Oh, for god's sake.

And yourself!

It happened a year ago.

You feel responsible because mom's dead,

and I'm like this, and you weren't there.

But that's wrong.

No, you don't know.

I do.

Mom would have never wanted you to blame yourself.

You think--

Jodie, I wasn't at work.

I wasn't at work the night of your accident.

- You don't need to say it. - No, I do.

I do.

I need to say it.

I already know.

I know you were with Ann.

But it's got all jumbled up.

I mean, you can't see it like that.

What was happening between you and mum

was between you and mum.

The accident was something else.

And it wasn't your fault.

I shoulda been there.

No.

I shoulda been.

Well, I'm glad you weren't because who would

I have to look after me now?

It's OK.

I'll call ya.

I will.

I didn't expect to see you again quite so soon.

Yeah, you and me both.

You-- you got the passport?

Yeah, it's in the car.

in a bit of struggle, didn't ya?

Yeah, you could say that.

Sorry to hear that, mate.

I really am.

Get in the car then.

Hi.

Hi.

Jeff, it's me.

It's Dan.

Look, I know I shouldn't be calling you.

But I just wanted to say thanks for everything.

I really appreciate it, you know?

I really appreciate it.

I do.

When I came out of the army, you were there for me and now this.

I'm lucky to have family like you.

And look, say thanks to Sandra for me.

Now, we've had our ups and downs, me and Sandra,

but, uh, yeah, say thanks.

And you know, she's solid as a rock.

But I gotta go, mate.

When I'm settled, you come and visit.

It'll be like old times.

We'll have a bit of a laugh.

I'll call you.

I will.

I'll call you.

I'll see you, mate.

Thanks.

That was Danny.

He said to thank you for helping him.

I should thank you too.

You were great.

Well, let's not talk about that now.

The important thing is he's gone.

He said that we should go and see him when he settles down.

No, I think we should just let him get on with his own life

and us with ours.

Yeah, you're probably right.
