[bunniefuu]

[Anna panting]

[intense music playing]

[distinct siren wailing]

[groans]

[sniffles]

[theme music playing]

-[ominous music playing]

-[birds chirping]

[water burbling]

-[indistinct chatter]

-[heels clicking]

Awe, good luck, love.

-Knock him dead.

-[Anna] Thanks!

Anna, Anna, just come here.

Turn around.

Wardrobe malfunction.

See, I'm not meant

to wear nice things.

Of course, you are.

Let's have a look at you.

You look really smart.

Go, get him.

[glass clinking indistinctly]

-Mr. Evans

-I'm busy.

Only my interview's at 9:00.

The supervisor job is something

I'm really passionate about.

Production line

not good enough for you?

It is not that, it's just

we've all had a lot of time

to think this past year

and I know I can do more.

I've raised two kids,

I've helped my husband

through a career change.

Now I want

I want something for myself.

I can help you make this

a happier,

more productive workplace.

What's that supposed to mean?

"Happier?"

Well, a lot's changed

since you took over.

Arwel used to

spend time on the floor,

chatting to everyone, but

you work differently.

Well, I'm not my father.

No.

You all think he's God's gift.

[man] Here you go mate.

She's all yours.

[Jack] Cheers.

All I'm saying

I think there's a divide

between you and the workers.

But I can help fix that.

I can be that person.

Someone the workers can turn

to when they need to talk.

Is that a new suit?

Yeah.

Never pretend to be

someone you're not, Anna.

People can smell it a mile off.

-[sniffles]

-He can't talk to you like that,

it's workplace bullying.

I spent three hours

rehearsing for that interview.

All out the window

because he's coked off his head

buying bloody sports cars.

He only bought it so he can

show off to his clients tonight.

Well, he can shove his party,

I'm not going.

You know, I bet he sees sense.

You're the best

person for the job.

[chuckles]

I told him I was bored

that he was a sh*t boss

and everyone wished

his dad hadn't retired.

I would've decked

the little sh*t.

-Cat!

-Can't you say something?

He doesn't listen to me.

You're his auntie

for God's sake.

Yeah, exactly.

Oh, it'd be so nice

to see Arwel tonight.

Is he back yet?

He's flying in this afternoon.

Well, maybe you could

have a quiet word?

Oh, it's fine, just leave it.

Oh, my God

Tish, what what you wearing?

The party's not till tonight.

I've got an interview.

The supervisor job.

You never said.

Sorry, Anna.

It's fine.

You look nice. Good luck.

-She's so two-faced.

-Oh, don't be like that.

Why keep it a secret?

She's such a princess.

Hmm.

[Max] All right, babe?

How did the interview go?

Ay, keep an eye on that.

Oh babe, I'm sorry.

Jack Evans is an idiot.

I'll be 40 in a few days.

-What have I achieved?

-Absolutely nothing.

It's shameful.

Shall I open a window

so you can hurl yourself out?

If Tamsin or Ryan had messed up

an interview, what would you do?

Send them to bed without dinner.

You'd tell them

there'll be other interviews,

-other opportunities.

-Where?

Half the country's

gone bankrupt.

It won't always be like this.

You've got a great family,

nice house, brilliant friends.

Can we be enough?

Just for a little while?

Now, Get your party gear on,

hold your head up

and go have some fun.

["Sometimes" by Erasure playing]

[indistinct chatter]

He's charging employees

can you believe it?

Stingy b*stard.

-[Anna] Let me give some money.

-[Cat] No don't worry.

[Nancy]

It's not about us, is it?

He's impressing his clients,

getting his orders again.

-We're just decoration.

-Can't see Arwel.

-What time's he getting in?

-[Louie] Not sure.

Oh, here she is.

I don't know

what she was thinking,

dressing like

a Love Island reject.

She thinks she's better than us.

She's allowed to be ambitious,

there's nothing wrong with that.

You're always snapping at her,

do you fancy her or something?

-No.

-She looks lonely.

Oh, shut up.

Do you watch Love Island?

Don't tell Richard.

-How did your interview go?

-Okay, I think.

I was a bit nervous.

Sorry for not saying anything.

It's fine.

He'll probably give it

to you anyway.

You've been here way

longer than me.

[chuckles]

Can I get you a drink?

You can get a round in.

Two G&Ts, a cider for Cat

and an OJ for Nancy.

Cheers.

How many members

in Take That now?

-Are they like a duo?

-No there's four of them.

Three.

Well, Robbie Williams left,

didn't he?

But then he came back.

-Trust me, it's three.

-[Jack] Ladies!

Auntie Louie.

Enjoying the party?

-That's a strong word.

-She's joking.

Oh, well, I just

wanted to introduce you

to your new supervisor.

-You all know Mandy?

-Hey, girls.

Congratulations.

I'm looking forward

to bossing you around.

[indistinct laughter]

Meet me on the dance floor.

Covid Mandy?

The only thing she's

ever been good at

is infecting people.

Yeah, well, she's young and

keen, you know.

It's our centenary

get rid of the dead wood.

[laughs]

[ominous music playing]

[metal clinking indistinctly]

[keys jingling]

[scratching]

You can't stay in there forever.

[Tish] Just leave me alone.

Come on princess.

I'll buy you a drink.

[sighs] I feel like an idiot.

You are an idiot.

Everyone makes mistakes.

That DJ's playing Westlife.

[both chuckle]

[music playing]

[cell phone rings]

I told you to stay away.

Don't be like this son.

People are expecting me.

You really want to make a scene?

-What do I tell Louie?

-I don't give a sh*t.

Just tell this

is my business now.

That's the least you owe me.

[call ends]

[sighs]

Back to the house.

[dance music playing]

There's cocaine on your tie.

It's sherbet.

I can't stand back and watch

you self-destructing like this.

Splashing family money

around on toys!

That car's not a toy,

-it's prestige.

-Arwel would be mortified.

Yeah, well,

he's retired, isn't he?

[sighs]

When will you lot understand?

He f*cked off to France.

This is my business now!

With you in charge, it won't be

a business much longer.

Where is your father?

He's supposed to be here.

Why?

You gonna tell tales?

I've covered

for you once already.

I'm not doing it again.

You ever wondered

why Grandad left

the business to Dad and not you?

You're a train wreck.

I know

exactly

why he left it to Arwel.

Jack, you know

you can talk to me--

Uh

[voice breaking]

You know nothing,

nothing!

And I don't want to

hear another word

and I don't want you

in my brewery anymore.

You're fired.

["Take On Me" by A-ha playing]

What happened to your necklace?

Oh, the string broke.

Oh, I liked that one.

-[woman cheering]

-Anyone seen Jack?

You tell me.

You've been stuck

to him like a leech.

[both laugh]

Oh, Sharon Osbourne rang,

she wants her hair back.

-Say that again!

-Louie,

forget about her.

-Are you all right?

-I'm always all right.

Family dramas.

Jack?

-I think he fired me.

-What?

Why? He can't do that,

you're family.

Your dad owned this place.

You've got to tell Arwel.

Arwel's not in charge anymore.

Can I have another round please?

Doubles.

Double everything.

[phone ringing]

Hello, hello.

Hello.

-Well. That did not spark joy.

-Hands down! Worst party ever.

I bet Gareth's

still looking for you.

[chuckles]

You should never have

promised him that dance.

Oh, I was just

trying to be nice.

[Cat] Aw, bless him.

Still, I bet he's a really

good cuddler, you know.

[Tish] Get off me!

-Stay away!

-Hey!

[Cat] Hey get the hell off her!

-What the f*ck are you doing?

-Cat, don't.

[Jack] We're having some fun.

[Anna]

You all right, sweetheart?

-I told him I didn't want to--

-Did he hurt you?

Come on, let's get you inside.

Don't ever touch

a woman like that.

Not ever!

-[Jack chuckles]

-Are you okay?

[laughs]

-Prick.

-[Louie] Come on, leave him.

[metal container clangs]

-He's helpless right now.

-[Jack continues laughing]

Anything could happen.

[Louie and Anna laughing]

[Jack] Let me walk, I'm fine.

-[Cat] Open the boot, Nance!

-What are you doing?

[Anna laughing]

It was Cat's idea.

I'm thinking,

we take him somewhere,

get his gear off, few photos,

Jack Evans goes viral,

-and Arwel comes back.

-[gasps]

Oh, Cat, that's a terrible idea.

I love it.

Girls, I really don't think

this is a good idea.

Look at the state of him,

he won't remember.

[Jack]

Are we going back to the party?

-I could do another drink.

-We'll all be fired,

you do realize that?

-I've already been fired.

-Since when?

Since tonight.

[Louie chuckles]

[Nancy] Where are we going?

[Louie] Just drive, Nance.

[Nancy] For goodness’ sake!

[music playing]

[women laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

[Jack] This doesn't

look like the party.

[Louie chuckles] Oh my god.

Why is he so heavy?

[Cat] Must be the ego.

[Nancy] Come on.

This is ridiculous.

[Louie laughing]

[Anna and Cat laughing]

Ooh! Oh! Oh!

[Jack] Oh.

Take me back to the party.

[Cat chuckles]

Party's right here.

[Jack] Oh, kinky!

[Cat] In your dreams.

[Anna] What are you

[laughing]

[Cat] Right.

[laughs] I'm sorry!

Oh my god! [laughs]

[Cat]

Help me take his boxers off.

[Louie] Oh, no, no!

-Cat, I'm drawing a line. No.

-[chuckles]

I'm don't feel comfortable

with any of this.

-Oh, all right, all right.

-[chuckles]

It's great.

[Anna] Hurry up, it's freezing.

-Oh, yes.

-Mm-hmm.

-[Anna laughing]

-Yeah. That's the one.

[chuckling] Yes.

[Anna] Right, let's get him

back in the car.

-Let him walk home it's not far.

-[chuckles]

Aah!

Well, we can't leave him

-in this state.

-I can.

[Jack]

Take me back or you're dead

[Cat] Well, I'm going.

Oh, I don’t know about this.

[sighs]

Oh, come on. I need a wee.

[Anna chuckles]

[Jack mumbling]

[snores]

[sighs]

-I thought you got lost.

-Where's Nance?

It's her bladder again.

Oh, God!

She is like a sieve.

Come on, Nance!

[gasps slightly]

-We shouldn't leave him.

-I'm not going back down there,

there might be, like, wolves.

-[laughs]

-[Anna laughing]

Wolves? [laughs]

-[Anna] There she is.

-[Louie] Ah, there she is.

Sorry. [sighs] Sorry.

Too much orange juice.

[Cat] Oh.

[Louie] Let me get in first.

Don't hog the whole seat.

[chuckling]

[Nancy] Just put your

seatbelts on, please.

-[engine starts]

-[Nancy] Please!

[Louie laughing]

[music playing]

[Louie] Ooh!

[Cat] Oh, brilliant.

[Louie] Yeah. Thanks, Nance.

-[Cat] I can walk from here.

-[Louie] Cheers, Nance.

[Louie] All right.

This is me.

How come Arwel has, like,

a mansion and a house in

France and you live here?

Oh, I like it here.

If I were you

I'd want to even things up.

Well, you're not me. So

Drink some water.

-[Louie] Good night.

-[chuckles]

[ominous music playing]

[door unlocks, creaks]

[rain pattering]

[sighs, chuckles slightly]

It's freezing out there.

We can't just leave him.

[sighs]

[Anna] I'm pretty sure

it was the other way.

He was definitely over here.

Says the woman

who gets lost on roundabouts.

See.

Oh god, he's asleep,

we're going to

have to carry him.

Jack, wake up.

Jack?

-sh*t.

-Oh my God.

[gasps]

[gasps]

-What are you doing?

-Calling an ambulance.

-Anna, he's dead.

-No signal.

-Have you got signal?

-Anna, he's dead.

-We have to call someone.

-It's too late!

How long did we leave him?

I don't know.

Half an hour, 40 minutes?

He was fine, he was talking.

sh*t. [gasps]

There's no signal?

Why is there no phone signal?

[Anna] We'll call the police,

we'll explain

that it was an accident.

[Nancy] Well, what if

they don't believe us?

[chuckling nervously] Of course,

they're gonna believe us,

we're not murderers!

There's no signal,

we have to drive.

-Anna, wait.

-Please, open the car.

-Anna!

-Open the car!

Listen to me!

-We need to think about this.

-Think about what?

He's dead because of us.

-I know!

-Then take a breath.

f*ck.

Can you open the car please?

Let's get the others and then

we'll decide what to do.

We know what to do!

We drive until we get a signal.

Cat's still on parole,

if she gets in trouble,

she'll go straight back inside.

It was an accident.

Anna!

We brought him here,

we left him!

It's manslaughter.

[ominous music playing]

-What's going on?

-Get in.

Didn't you go home?

Louie's not read the WhatsApp.

Where've you been?

Anna, what's happened?

It's going to voice mail.

Can someone tell me

what the f*ck is going on?

-We need to wait for Louie.

-Why?

[Nancy sighs]

Is this about Jack?

[Nancy] Anna, wait!

[knocking on door]

-It's 2:00 in the morning.

-Can we come in?

-What's happened?

-Don't ask me.

-Well, say something.

-Oh, just let us in.

Um, place is a mess.

Louie, this is serious.

-So, tell me.

-Not out here.

I'll get my coat.

It's Jack, huh?

What's he said?

Oh sh*t, has he

called the police?

What?

What? What's the matter?

Louie

Jack's dead.

What do you mean?

-Did you say "dead"?

-Yeah.

-[Nancy] Jack died.

-What do you mean "died"?

When?

I'm so sorry, Louie.

Come on. He's not dead,

we've just seen him.

We went back

we found him

I don't know what happened.

-You both saw him?

-Yeah.

God, this isn't funny.

Was this your idea?

I'm so sorry.

[gasps]

[sobbing]

f*ck!

-We need to decide what to do.

-I want to see him.

I don't think

that's a good idea.

-Take me to the woods.

-Anna's right.

-It's not gonna--

-I want to see my nephew!

[sobbing]

-[music playing]

-[rain pattering]

-Jack?

-[Cat] No, don't touch him.

-[melancholy music playing]

-[bawls]

Must have been a heart attack.

Maybe he OD'ed.

He was on the gear all night.

We have to call the police.

If we explain it was a prank

-that got out of hand.

-[wails]

If we tell they'll believe us.

[Cat] What if they don't?

Even if they do

it's still manslaughter.

No, it's

it's accidental death.

We dragged him here,

we put him in the boot!

What are you doing?

It'll look like

he just sat here.

We're in the middle

of the woods!

Cat, stop. Stop touching him.

It's fine. He's been at a party,

there's DNA all over him.

Stop it! Get away from him.

[whimpers, breathes shakily]

[sniffles] Oh, my God!

I'm so sorry.

-I'm calling Max.

-Anna, stop!

This affects all of us.

We need to decide, as a group.

[sniffles]

If we go to the police,

our lives are over.

Even if they don't charge us,

everyone will know what we did.

So, this is about

protecting your reputation?

Not just me! All of us.

I can't go back to prison.

Max would lose his job.

Think about the kids.

[sighs]

What do you want to do?

We can't leave him on his own.

He's gone, love.

Let's just go.

[water burbles]

[music playing]

Some water for you, love.

Okay.

Try and get some sleep.

I'll see you

in the morning, yeah?

[gasps]

Louie's had a bit to drink,

she didn't want

to be on her own.

[door closing]

[breathes shakily]

[music playing]

[music intensifying]

[gasps]

You okay?

Bad dream?

Yeah.

Go back to sleep.

[breathes shakily]

I think we all need

to go to work.

Just keep things normal.

When do you think

they'll find him?

I don't know, love.

I keep seeing his face.

[breathes shakily]

Morning.

You not working today?

Starting late.

It's all right for some.

Right. I'm going

to jump in the shower

and then drive you home.

[music playing]

[dog barking]

Joe reckons his Mum got

some cracking photos last night.

What photos?

You, dancing like a sea lion.

I thought you were

staying at Lee's?

Yeah. Changed my mind

[sighs] I think he

might be a rebound.

And his favorite Star Wars

is The Phantom Menace. So

[chuckles nervously]

What were you dreaming

about this morning?

Your mum was having nightmares.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

-Oh, Dad, your phone rang.

-Probably the station.

I gotta go.

Max

Take some breakfast.

Wake your sister

or she'll be late for school.

-You sure, you're okay?

-Just really hungover.

Do you want me

to call the brewery?

You never take sick days.

No. I can't let the girls down.

[music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

You okay?

Me either.

I don't think

I can deal with this.

You've got us.

We'll do it together.

If we stand here too long,

it'll look strange, come on.

-I feel sick.

-Yeah.

[indistinct chatter]

[Cat] You all right?

What about you guys?

Hungover.

Where did you lot

disappear to last night?

Nancy had a headache,

she was our lift.

We never had that dance.

Orders are rolling in.

The boss must've charmed

a few clients last night.

His phone won't stop ringing.

[phone ringing]

[police tape rustling]

You know the family?

Yeah.

Uh, my wife works

at the brewery.

They had a party last night

for its centenary.

Was he a drug user?

Not sure.

Are they thinking

it's an overdose?

Jury's out.

Why would he leave his own party

and come here

in the middle of the night?

Sex, maybe.

Either that or he's into owls.

Do you like owls?

I don't really--

They freak me out.

Beady f*ck.

How'd you fancy stepping up?

Now Lawson's gone North,

I'll be looking for a new D.S.

-You want me?

-Hmm.

Takes ba*ls to make

a career change

like you did, plus, you're good.

Well, thanks, that means a lot.

I won't let you down.

I mean it might have

happened anyway.

If Jack did have

a heart condition,

he could have keeled over

-right here, or on the way home.

-Yeah.

It's not too late

to go to the police.

-Max will believe us.

-It's not up to him.

There's nothing on social media.

[cell phone ringing]

Something's happened--

[cell phone continues ringing]

Hello?

Okay, I'll be down now.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

[Anna] Oh, sh*t.

Is Cat okay?

Everyone's just a bit fragile.

[chuckles]

If they arrest us, I'm f*cked.

Don't think like that.

It was an overdose

or a heart attack,

it wasn't our fault.

We shoved him

in a car boot then left him

in the middle of nowhere.

[sighs]

-Big night?

-You're not helping, Mandy.

Did anyone see

my purse last night?

-Is that a euphemism?

-[Mandy] Huh?

No, we didn't.

[Mandy] I left it on a table,

it must be here somewhere.

You okay?

Yeah.

[Mandy] Hey,

there's no loo roll,

can you chuck some over?

-Hello?

-[door closing]

[music playing]

Oh.

Louie?

Hi.

Where were you last night?

My My flight was delayed.

[sighs] I need

to speak to my sister.

I'll organize the others,

we'll be in the canteen.

Everything all right?

[indistinct chatter]

Hello everyone.

I, uh

I'm I'm sorry, I couldn't

be with you last night.

I would I would like to say

it's nice to be back but

[sighs]

I had a call this morning.

from the police.

A body was found

in the woods.

And I'm afraid to say that

I'm so sorry.

[sighs]

that, it's my son.

It's Jack.

[music playing]

[sighs]

[Gareth]

We're closing the brewery

for the rest of the day,

out of respect.

Would you help me

run an early shutdown?

-Sure.

-[indistinct chatter]

Sorry. Just a question?

What's happening

with my promotion?

Are you serious?

Only Jack told me I had the job.

[Cat] Piss off, Mandy.

Don't pretend you're sad.

You're all hypocrites.

Have you told anyone

what happened in the carpark?

No.

Don't.

Why would I?

Just don't. Okay?

[indistinct chatter]

Poor Arwel. I'm so sorry.

This is a nightmare.

Have you deleted those photos?

Of course, I have.

What about backups,

the cloud or whatever?

They're gone.

Well, from now on, we only ever

talk about this in person,

we don't never text or email.

Not Not ever.

We stick to our normal routines

and we keep our heads down.

Anna, you can tell us

what the police is saying.

I can't ask too many questions,

it'll look suspicious.

It'd be suspicious

if you didn't ask questions.

It's like you're enjoying this.

Of course, I'm not!

I'm trying to think ahead

unless you want to

end up back inside?

Have you thought about the DNA

all over your car boot?

No, because you're too busy

playing Agatha f*cking Christie.

Police investigations are

all about forensics and tech.

Oh, God, what if we're on

CCTV putting him in the car?

No, the the camera

only covers the main entrance.

[phone rings]

Tamsin's school.

I've had two missed calls

I have to take this.

-I need to go.

-Sort that car out.

[indistinct chatter]

[music playing]

-Well?

-It wasn't my fault.

Stacey Hughes started it.

The school has a zero

tolerance policy for violence!

I've got zero tolerance

for b*tches.

You're lucky

you were only suspended.

Miss Pope only

took Stacey's side

because her dad's

on the school board.

You swore to me, Tamsin.

You promised me

this stupid feud was over.

Great, now you're taking

her side as well.

-I'm not on anyone's side!

-You should be on mine!

You girls should be

supporting each other.

Life's tough enough

without turning on your friends.

I really don't need

this today Tam.

Everyone's talking

about your boss.

He's a hashtag.

You okay?

Not really.

Are you hungover?

No! It's been a really

sh*t day, Tamsin,

and you are not helping!

[seatbelt buckles]

Sorry.

And there it is. [chuckles]

[car engine whirrs]

[scrubbing]

[fire crackling]

Hello?

-Hiya.

-Hi, Dad.

Hey, babe.

Sorry I didn't call,

it's been kinda crazy.

-Arwel closed the brewery.

-Poor guy had to ID the body.

-He was howling.

-[sighs]

Do they know

what happened?

I mean, I know you're not

supposed to talk about it

but what are they thinking?

Well we'll know more once

the postmortem’s been done.

Was it a heart attack

or drugs maybe?

Was he doing

drugs last night?

I think so.

Did you see him

leave with anyone?

No.

Thing is, we don't think

he went to the woods alone.

-Right.

-The guy was a d*ck anyway.

Don't talk like that.

Name one person who liked him.

Can we talk about

something else?

Yes, we can as it goes.

You can explain why you're

scrapping with Stacey Hughes.

She's a whiny b*tch.

And you taught us to defend

ourselves so that's what I did.

Chopped as instructed.

-How long's her suspension?

-A week.

As long as she gives the school

and Stacey a written apology.

-You can write it.

-Huh?

You're her wordsmith.

Do your sister a favor.

[music playing]

[Max] There's a theory he

was meeting someone for

sex or drugs maybe.

Why did he have to

be meeting someone?

Why else would

he be in the woods

in the middle of the night?

The SIO wants me on the case.

She's making me Acting Sergeant.

-That's brilliant.

-Yeah.

Just wish it was under

better circumstances.

You deserve it.

Oh, one thing we noticed

his new car's been keyed.

Don't suppose anyone

talked about that or

know when it was done?

No. Sorry.

I'll sort dinner.

[music playing]

[sizzling]

[Arwel] I was going to sell up

but Jack wanted to stay.

Rattling around here on his own.

He always liked

the finer things.

Louie

I need to know

before the police find out.

Was he doing drugs again?

Yeah.

He started resenting me

when I packed him off to rehab.

[sighs]

Christ, this wine

isn't cutting it.

[sniffling]

[ominous music playing]

I used to be scared of churches.

My foster parents said that

God could see who you were

deep down, in here

no matter how well you hid it.

You're a good person.

You don't need to be afraid.

[police radio chatter]

[man] Sir?

There's a credit card.

[music playing]

[Gareth] Arwel wants the brewery

back in operation today.

So the least

we can do is band together

and get things back on track.

He's asked me to take charge,

till things are sorted.

So, if you've got any worries

just come to me.

Thank you everyone.

Collecting for the Evans family,

any donations?

-They own the brewery.

-It's the thought that counts.

Especially when you're

angling for a promotion, eh?

Get lost, Mandy.

The frother's broken

so they can't do cappuccinos.

What?

[music playing]

[muffled footsteps]

Ladies.

Mandy Thomas?

I'm Detective

Superintendent Holland,

do you want to

come with us please?

-Why?

-We'll explain on the way

if you come on. Please.

[indistinct chatter]

This is a mistake,

I don't know anything.

[Holland] Let's just head down

to the station, yeah?

Max?

-Why are you arresting her?

-It's a voluntary interview.

Doesn't look voluntary.

Forensics found

her credit card in the woods.

[music playing]

She must have followed us.

She would've said,

she can't keep her mouth shut.

And we would've seen a car.

She might have dropped

that credit card days ago.

What in the exact same area?

We'll get through this

if we don't panic.

Let's all just stick

to the story.

The last time we saw him

it was in the canteen.

We have no idea what happened.

If we hold our nerve

and stick together,

this will pass.
