01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

[fire crackles]

[rumbling]

Isn't it a bit f*cked up,
wearing his clothes?

I think the f*cked-up bit
was murdering him

[rumbling intensifies]

[upbeat rock]

[retches]

[vomits]

Sorry

It's OK

Should we go to the police?

What?

It was self-defense

- We broke into his house, James
- Yeah, he was gonna hurt you

You think they're gonna believe that?

It's the truth

[James] Alyssa seemed weirdly calm

[Alyssa] f*ck. f*ck!

We need to get rid of the body

[Alyssa] Come on

James!

Sorry

[Alyssa] One, two, three!

sh*t

Again

One, two, three!

[both groan]

Dead people are heavier
than alive people. I read that

Good to know

[music fades and stops]

[Alyssa] We need to clean everything up

We need to get rid of any trace of us

Do you hear me, James?

Do you understand?

No one can know that we've been here, OK?

If we can't get rid of him,
we got to get rid of us

Go find some bleach

[squeaking]

Take your shoes off!
And clean up that blood

[rumbling]

[Alyssa] This is bad
This is really f*cking bad

[James] Alyssa seemed to know
what she was doing

I figured that,
if I just did what I was told,

then it might be all right

[Alyssa] I don't know
if this is the right thing to be doing

I'm just thinking about what people
on the TV do when they've done this

[James] She said it'd help
to have music on whilst we cleaned

It kind of did

[James] It wasn't
how I thought it would be

Not at all

James?

- Yeah?
- What are you doing?

James?

[silence]

I don't know

[Alyssa] What the f*ck is he doing?

[ominous bangs]

What have you done?

He was gonna hurt you, Alyssa

He was

[screech]

[clock ticks]

[muffled screams]

[rumbling]

[man] Stay still

I said, stay still

[silence]

OK. Put those around him,
and then let's get out of here

[James] We learnt, much later,
that we'd really messed up

[ominous rumbling]

[Alyssa] It's strange

A lot of the time,

you don't register the important moments
in your life as they happen

You only see that they were important
when you look back

Like, that was an ending

[laughter]

So was that

f*ck off

And that was...

That was the beginning of something
Something massive

Maybe something massive and awful

Really awful
Like, f*ck-up-your-whole-life awful

We need to get to my dad's
as soon as possible

Before anybody finds the body

OK

He'll know what to do

Why didn't you burn your jacket?

It didn't have any blood on it

- Yes, but...
- I'm not getting rid of it, James

It's my dad's!

James?

[music fades]

James!

We should wait for a bit

What? Why?

If we get this one, we're traveling peak

It's more expensive

[Alyssa] I think there's something
wrong with him

[silence]

[Alyssa] f*ck. f*ck!

We k*lled someone,
we f*cking k*lled someone

What if someone saw us?

What if someone saw us leave the house?

What if someone recognizes us?

f*ck!

We need to change the way we look

[Alyssa] Turns out James is
quite a good hairdresser

My mum always wanted me
to go blonde

Guess she'd be
really f*cking pleased with me

We need new clothes

[James] Think it's fair to say

that my disguise wasn't
as effective as Alyssa's

I looked pretty much the same

Was there not another size?
These are a bit tight

It was a sh*t Oxfam
They had about ten things

It's not my fault
that you look thinner than you are

[silence]

[Alyssa] I don't recognize myself

Jesus. It's so quiet here

[cr*ck]

Where did you get the Kn*fe from?

[James] What?

The one you k*lled him with

Was it yours?

Hello?

Clive?

Darling?

[blood-curdling scream]

[slow rock]

[police radio]

Jesus

Hiya

Hi

Brought you this

It's a crime scene

- So...
- So...

- Sorry, you go...
- Please, go ahead. Please

I was just gonna say:
Clive Koch. Late forties

Clive what?

Koch. Let me just...

Let me see

K-O-C-H. Probably German

[Eunice] He was found by his mother
Late seventies

[Teri] God [Eunice] Poor thing

[Eunice] She didn't have a clue
what was going on

Is that a new coat?

No

Really nice...

cut

[squeak]

[squeak]

f*cking hell!

Quite a buff on that

[sighs] I found this. Under the bed

Teri?

[clanking]

[Eunice] You wanna tell us
why we've got your wallet here?

She said she was 17, I swear to you

I asked. I asked, like, a few times
She showed me her ID

It said 17!

- I swear I checked. I promise you!
- Calm down!

OK. Now let me see
if I've got this straight

You met this girl for the first time
yesterday, completely randomly,

and went back to this house with her

- For sex, right?
- No. We never had sex

The sex or lack thereof is not
why you're here

What?

You had no idea whose house it was?

[stammers] What are you talking about?

[Teri] The man whose house it was...

He was m*rder*d last night

Oh. f*ck me, oh...

- this is all just...
- Tell me about the girl

[Eunice] What was her name?

[Topher] Alyssa

[James] Alyssa, what are we going to do?

Are we still going to your dad's?

We should probably eat something

[baby cries in the distance]

[James] Alyssa had started
being weird with me

[cr*ck]

It was a present from my dad

[cr*ck]

The Kn*fe

What's it for?

Hunting

Yeah, 'cause that's a big thing
where we live, isn't it?

Who carries a hunting Kn*fe
around with them, James?

[James] I realized
that she was scared of me

That felt kind of unfair

I'd been her protector

[Eunice] Did you notice
anything distinctive about her?

Angry-looking?

Almost pretty, but...

actually average

Do you want to give her
a score out of ten?

- Like, I...
- I'm joking

[Teri scoffs]

Oh, no! No. I mean, like, she's fine
She's fine

She's just not, like, a model, you know?

What was she wearing?

Before you undressed her
and tried to have sex with her, I mean

Just, like, normal

I dunno. Just jeans
A t-shirt. And this weird jacket

Weird, like, how?

It was, like, quite sh*t

Weird because it was quite sh*t,
but sort of cool because it was?

Do you know what I mean?

No

It was, like, a brown leather jacket

Sort of baggy on her

Oh, and it wasn't just her

In the house
Yeah, there was another guy, too

This guy?

No! No, no, no

He was younger. Um...

Aww, I think his name was...

[Topher] James?

[James] I decided to put on a calmer,
more relaxed demeanor...

to reassure Alyssa

[cr*ck]

There's definitely
something wrong with him

You OK?

What?

Are you OK?

Yeah

[James] It didn't work

What's the matter?

[whispers] What's the matter?

What's the matter?

The matter, James, is that last night,
you f*cking m*rder*d someone

And every time I try to close my eyes,
or think about anything, anything else,

all I can see is his face...

and his neck, and you stabbing him

Thanks

Do you want mustard, too?

On chips?

Some people like it

[both giggle]

Alyssa?

I don't want to hold your hand

I'm going to the toilet

[door opens and closes]

[ominous music]

[clunk]
Oh

Sorry

[Eunice] So, his alibi checks out

[Eunice sighs]
What?

Clive Koch d*ed
between midnight and 3am

The twat in there was
at a house party during that time

- Witnesses?
- Yes

Lots of other twats

OK

Listen, I've been meaning to, um...

Could we have a quick chat at some point?

What about?

Well, you know, I thought...

Should we... talk
about what happened the other night?

[sighs]

You know what? Don't worry about it

OK, let's put out a request
for any sightings

or any crimes
involving two teenagers in the area

Give them a description
of the jacket

and put the names Alyssa
and James into Missing Persons

Either they k*lled him,
or they might have seen who did

[Teri] We need to find them

[Alyssa] My heart can't take this

[50s pop rock]

[James] I sat for about half an hour
until I realized that Alyssa had left

[James] I think maybe my dad spent
his whole life trying to avoid silence

[TV laughter]

When you have silence,
it's hard to keep stuff out

[whimpers]

[rumbling]

It's all there

And you can't get rid of it

I used to be able to get rid of things,

banish them

Police, please

I was pretty sure I wasn't a psychopath

I'd like to report a m*rder
