01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

I owe you both an apology.

'There were no Major Ryan Wilsons
serving in Afghanistan

'at the time Ryan says he was there.

'It's a complete lie.'

Craig, someone painted the word
"k*ller" on the deck of my boat.

Come near me or my daughter again

and there will be
serious consequences.

Ryan's medal seems to be missing.

Ed.

I knew it was you.

I...

..have no excuse. I...

..picked it up, you came, and I
put it in my pocket, and then, eh...

Er...

That was stupid. I...

I'm sorry.

My passport.
Oh, yes. Um...

Well, I just...

You still don't trust me, do you?

Well, I...

Well, you love Abbie, I know that,
and I know that she loves you.

What do I have to do to make
you change your mind about me?

How do I prove...?
It's not...

It's not about you.

It's...

It's about me. I...

Claire will tell you that I've been
like this ever since Josh died,

so...

And...

..I would appreciate it
if you didn't tell Claire or Abbie

about the medal.

RYAN SIGHS Come with me.

A very simple off-the-shelf
tracking device.

I found it in Abbie's car.

Really?

I think I know who put it there.

George.

He seems to have found
where we live.

I think we should keep this
between me and you, yeah?

Abbie would freak if she realised
that he was stalking her like this.

He's clearly struggling
to let her go.

And who can blame him?

Oh, my phone.
Hm?

I left it in your car.

Oh, damn.

I'm meant to be meeting Claire.

Take my car.
No, it's too bloody late!

I wasn't going to show you this
because I didn't know what it meant,

but I think George
posted it through our letterbox.

That's why I was asking you
about your time in the Navy.

He's making us all paranoid.

He's not going to stop
until he's destroyed me,

my boat, my family.

Ed, look...
No, it's...

You look after Abbie
and I'll take care of George.

George!

HORN BEEPS

George!

FROM INSIDE: It's true!

Oh, shaved legs, the lot!

If you're a fine-looking woman,

a man goes crazy after a few months
at sea. Believe me!

Oh, here he comes,
Mata Hari himself.

Craig.

I were just saying
one of our old mates passed on.

Oh, your name came up
and... in the area, so...

Let's get a beer.
Yeah, nice.

See you in a bit.
OK, thanks very much.

Can I have a gin and tonic, please.

Mum, it's too early for that.

It's never too early
for a G&T, Claire. True.

What are you playing at, Collier?

Me?

As I remember it...

..this photo was taken
with your camera.

I didn't have a camera.

We all got one in Gibraltar.

Well, you may have done.
I was skint.

HE EXHALES

So, Des is dead,

Arthur's still missing.

Who else can it be?

Well, it's not me,
if that's what you're getting at.

Why would I want all this
to come out now?

Then who's doing it?

It's just some local lad
winding me up.

Look,

what happened with Baxter...

You... You make it sound like it was
some sort of unfortunate accident.

What's in the past...

..stays in the past.

HE SIGHS

INDISTINCT

LAUGHTER,
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Hey!

How's work?

Urgh, you know, the usual.

I see you've taken your bandage off.

Mm-hm.

Ryan?

When I got home, your dad was here -
inside the house.

Returning this.

My DAD took it?

I promised I wouldn't say anything.

I'm starting to worry about him.

You living with me,

he's still struggling with Josh,
his work.

And now this.

That's my dad.

Turn it over.

Let me tell you why I didn't
come to counselling.

Whatever it was,
it was more important than me.

No!

If I mattered so much,
you'd trust me with the truth.

What was Craig doing here?

When Des died,

I think it reminded him
of how we all used to be.

SHE SCOFFS

You went to all those lengths
to accuse Ryan of lying.

Look at you.

The sheer hypocrisy!

SHE GASPS

You've booked your flights?

And I know for a fact that
that seat next to me is still empty.

You know the reason you can't stand
your job... It doesn't matter.

I've quit.

So what are you gonna do?

Ryan's gonna help me find
something more suitable.

Who for -

you or him?

Why can't you just be supportive?

I would be if I thought you was
doing the right thing but...

You're just jealous...

of me and Ryan.

You've always hated me giving
my attention to anyone but you.

You and I both know that's not true.

And if you can't see that,
I give up.

SHIP'S HORN BLOWS

You seen my gutting knife?

What's the matter with you?

It's Claire, she's had enough.
She said that?

You work all your life for something
for you and your family,

and then some b*stard...

Come on, mate, let's get to work.

The tide's turning, so let's go.

Mum, I don't have time for this.

Well, look, it's my house,
so just stop shouting at me.

I'm not shouting!

All you do these days
is shout at me.

You need to get dressed,
for Christ's sake.

RYAN: Hello?

Oh.
Sorry, the door was open.

Who are you?
Why are you always here?

Mum!
Just go away!

Mum!
I'm Abbie's boyfriend.

It's not always like this. I'm...

I'm just a bit tired. I could
watch her for a bit, if you like.

No, no, I'm fine.

Get some time for yourself.

Abbie says you like swimming,
you know, to escape.

I don't know.
As you can see, she's...

I'm so sorry. Excuse me.

My brain just goes off a little
from time to time.

And I know exactly who you are -
you're Ryan.

Hello.
Hi.

You know, I can't promise much,
but I know you like a game of cards.

Oh, I do!
I'm not doing anything else.

Oh, right, let's go, then.

Thanks very much.

And, by the way,
you're a gorgeous-looking lad.

Come on.

That's very kind of you, Ryan.
Thank you.

No worries. It's all right.

Sorry I missed your call earlier.
I was out on the boat.

'Did you know Craig Passarello
served 18 months for GBH?'

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

There's not much else so far,
I'm afraid.

'Perhaps if you told me
a little more

'about what connects you
to these men, then maybe...'

No, you know,
it could be someone else.

A local lad - George Fitzgerald.

And this man knows about
your time in the Navy?

Well, he knows I served, yeah.

Who are you?

Ah.

Thar she blows!

You calling me a whale?

Not on porpoise.
CLAIRE CHUCKLES

What are you doing here?

Oh, I just...

You said if I had
any concerns about Ed.

What's happened now?

Has he told you about the photo
that was sent to him on the boat -

him and his mates in the Navy?

Not more bloody secrets!

Why can't he just talk to me?

I even asked him last night.

One of his old friends turned up
out of the blue.

What's going on, Bob?

I'm no clearer, I don't know.

I'm just really worried about him,
that's all.

SHE SIGHS

Come here.

SHE SIGHS

HE SIGHS

You said you weren't going.

I know, but, um...

Well, I liked Des -
he made me laugh.

Just paying my respects.

You didn't see him
for near 30 years.

PHYLLIS: Claire?

Claire, where are you?

I'm up here.

You'll have to wait.

I was going to go out.

I assumed you'd be here with Mum.

Oh, I-I'm sorry.
I didn't know. Um...

Can you call Abbie?

Abbie's not picking up.

My brother's on holiday.

Any other suggestions?

I was going to look at a care home.

Are you sure?

I...

..can't do this any more.

You're doing an amazing job, Claire.

No. No, I'm not.

Neither of us are.

Well...

I just don't know how we're
going to afford it, that's all.

You bought that for Josh's funeral.

I wish I'd spoken...

..at the church.

Neither of us could.

Bob did us proud.

And Abbie.

SOFTLY: And Abbie.

I still see him, you know.

Talk to him.

HE TAPS

George?

Mum?

Hi, love.

What are you doing here?

I just came to see how you all were.

You putting Nan in a home?

No.

I just...

I don't know.

The dementia care is amazing...

If it was you, I'd do it.

Really?

If it meant the best care for you,
then yeah.

But I know you're only doing it
cos I'm not here.

None of this is your fault.

Besides, we can't afford it anyway.

The council might
give us half, but...

Ryan was talking about how
we might be able to help.

No. No, no, no.

I know Dad would never
accept a handout,

but Ryan thought
you could get a loan

against the value of the house.

I'll speak to your dad.

Abbie...

I need to tell you something...

..about Dad.

DOORBELL RINGS

Uh, yeah, I'm just going
to a funeral.

I think this might be a password
for that tracking device

that you found under Abbie's car.

Don't we need to find out how long
he's been tracking her?

Yeah, come in.

According to this, George started
tracking Abbie four days ago.

Well, he told me
he was tracking you.

That you'd gone to Cerrick Point
at three in the morning.

That's odd.
What's that?

Two days ago, it says
that Abbie travelled 23 miles.

I thought she was at work.

Oh, no, well...

..that's where I went.

To see a friend.

Why would she follow me?

She wouldn't.

Yep. Yep, it's here.

HE SIGHS

He's been tracking me as well.

This is all my fault.

When we first met
I didn't know anything about you,

and George said that he could
find out some things.

About me?

Yeah. But he just must
have made stuff up.

He got me to turn Abbie against you.

George just wants Abbie back.
Don't defend him!

I've... I've gotta go.

Don't worry. I'll sort it.

CAR STARTS

CAR STARTS

HE SIGHS

You're too late.

It's over.

You asked me
to investigate these men.

I was hoping one of them
would show up.

Why did you?

Well, Des was a good friend of mine.

I can't believe I missed it.

Everything that I do at the moment
seems to be...

Are you expecting someone?

I'm being followed.

Who by?

If you're serious about
me finding out

who's sending you this photo,

you need to tell me more about
your time on HMS Levenston.

When was the photo taken?

It was the early '90s, I guess.

Try 1994. Gibraltar.

Not long after you came back,
all four of you left the Navy -

why was that?

An incident occurred in Gibraltar

that for some reason
is still classified.

You were there -
tell me what happened.

I can't.

What exactly are you hiding?

Yes, I wanted to ask about

getting a loan against
the value of the house.

'What's the name?'
Claire Collier.

'Wife of Ed Collier?'
Yes, that's right.

'Mr Collier already
took out a loan.'

Did he?
'Yeah.'

Well, when was that?

'A couple of days ago.
He came by to get the money.'

'Mrs Collier?'

What are you doing here?

Nice house.

I said, what are you doing here?

Where's Ed?

Out on the boat.

Oh, aye?

Why have you come back
after all these years?

What's going on?

You don't wanna know.

I'm calling the police.

I doubt that, love.

SEAGULLS SQUAWK

Abs?

What are you doing here?

I know you took Ryan's medal.

Well, I thought he was...

He's really concerned about you.

I've been to see him.

Why?
We had a good talk,

and I realised that we both have
your best interests at heart.

You said to give him a chance,
and you were right.

As you usually are.

Does your mum know about the medal?

SHOUTING
James, come over here, see this!

Somebody help!

There's somebody there.

Who's that?
What's going on?

Somebody call the police!

What's happened?
No!

No. No, Abbie.

ABBIE GASPS

INDISTINCT CHATTER

What do you think happened?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm sure the police will...

This is just like Josh.

Abs.

Is it true?

I'm so sorry.

Abbie.

Ed, are you all right?

I'm fine, Katz. I'm fine.

Mr Collier.

Detective Inspector Nott.

I understand you were the one
who called it in.

Yes, that's right, yeah.

What time did you find the body?

Oh, no, somebody else found him.
I was by my boat.

Have you no idea how he...?
Not yet.

Did you know the deceased?

George, yeah, yeah,
he was a local lifeguard.

Nice lad.

Whatever the circumstances,

we need to get an idea
of his last few days.

Don't go too far
because I'll need to talk to you.

You broke into his campervan?

Well, George was spying on me.

Spying on you?

I think he found this photo of me
and for some reason

he just sent it to everyone.

What does it mean?

I think George
is just winding me up.

Well, if you don't know
what it means,

how can you be wound up about it?

Ed...

..just tell me.

I called the bank...

..to borrow some money.

All right, now, I can explain.
I'm sure you can, Ed.

This is just money I put aside...

You swore to me
that you didn't take Ryan's medal.

Oh, now, that was just stupid.
I needed to know whether he...

I don't care.

You're stealing money,

Ryan's medal,

you can't tell me the truth
about this bloody photo.

I can tell you the truth,
but I can't tell you...

I want you to go.

Get out.

Go!

Go.

SHE SOBS

I heard he jumped off Ratson Head.
Yeah.

He was stabbed - back of the neck.

Snapped his spine,
according to the cops.

Have they spoken to your dad
about it yet?

I heard him and George had a fight.

Give it a rest, eh?

I'm OK.

I'm just trying to help.
I don't need you to help.

Abs.

Sorry. I'm OK.

Just say it. You usually do.

On the pub CCTV, there's images
of Ed really laying into George.

When?

A couple of days ago.

And at one stage it looks like
he's trying to run him over.

Well, what do I do with it?

SHIP'S HORN BLOWS

ECHOING: No!

HE GASPS

Thanks.

Here you go.

I have to make myself clear.

If, in the course
of my investigation,

I find anything that links you
to George Fitzgerald's m*rder...

I didn't k*ll him!

..I will be obliged by law
to pass that on to the police.

Am I making myself clear?

What does the name Nicholas Baxter
mean to you?

A sublieutenant on HMS Levenston.

Found floating in
the Gibraltar docks,

possibly drug-related.

Ring any bells?

I've gotta go.
What are you running away from?

CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES

CAR STARTS

You told me you weren't
going to Des's funeral.

Well, I changed my mind.
How did you know I was here?

Who was that woman
you were talking to?

What are you doing hanging around
my house and upsetting my wife?

You were always
the weakest f*cking link.

If we hadn't all listened to you
then we wouldn't be here, would we?

And if we all listened to you
we'd probably be in f*cking prison.

No wife, no family.

I know what I did
and what I've had to hide.

But I'm not the only one, am I?

Des is dead.

I reckon Arthur's copped it.

That kid George is dead.

You might be next.

What you doing?

I was just going to unpack
some of my stuff.

I know it's all junk, but...

It's not junk -
it's you, it's who you are.

I shouldn't have left.

Mum and Dad, ever since Josh died,
I've been holding them together.

And now that I've gone...

..I just feel like
I'm losing everyone.

Mum, Dad, Katz.

You've got me.

But maybe moving in together
so soon was a mistake.

It's not a mistake.

I want to be here with you.
I really do.

But it just feels like everything
I do at the moment is wrong.

Oh, come here.

You're being silly.

It's all right, yeah?

Oh.

It'll be all right. Hm?

Ma'am.
Thank you.

Sorry for the delay.

And sorry about the smell -

it's the best we could do
in the circumstances.

Ah, that's all right,
I'm used to the smell of fish.

Oh.
SHE CHUCKLES

Right. You were going
to make a statement

concerning George Fitzgerald's
m*rder - is that right?

Yeah, yeah, anything to help.

In which case, perhaps we can start
with you telling me

what you were doing by
his campervan yesterday afternoon.

Uh...

And be careful, Mr Collier,
we've a witness who saw you there.

Oh, well, yeah, you know,
I was there.

Because...?

I-I wanted to see him, talk to him.

What did you want to see him about?

Oh.
HE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY

Nothing specific.
I-I wasn't even sure he was there.

I was just passing.
I mean, I've known George for years.

Did you go inside the campervan?

Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Why would you go inside
his campervan

if you knew he wasn't there?

Well, I mean, he might have been
asleep. Well, was he asleep?

No. No, he wasn't asleep.

Yeah. Well, he wasn't there.

I hear your boat got sabotaged.

Yes.
Who did you blame for that?

HE STAMMERS: I'm not sure.

George Fitzgerald?
No, no.

But I...
I-I did talk to him about that.

And what did he say?

Well, he denied it.
I mean, of course he did.

Is that why you went to see him -
to confront him?

No, no. I...

No, I believed him.

In that case, would you
have any objection to us

having a sample of your DNA?

Or do I have to arrest you?

Arrest me - what for?

Well, I could start with
breaking and entering.

Hey.
Hey.

Clothes - for Ed.

Is he staying with you?

He's on the boat, I think.

Anyway, how are you doing?

Oh, how would you be doing

if you discovered the person
you thought you knew...?

I know, I know.

I wish I could help more.

I tried to talk to him,
but with everything that's...

What?

He's being questioned.

By the police?!

When Ed got left that photo,
there was something else.

We tried to clean it off.
I took the photo, just in case.

And you didn't think to tell me?

Sorry.

There's more.

I found some tarpaulin on the boat.

I thought it had paint on it...

..but I think it's blood.

George...

SHE SIGHS Hey...

Open wide, Mr Collier.

This was four days ago.

Yeah...

I... Now, you see...

George, he offered to help me, uh,

with my daughter's new boyfriend.

Help you...?

Just, um...

find stuff out about him.
That's all.

Are you saying that Mr Fitzgerald
was spying on your behalf?

No, no, no. Not like that.
Not spying.

Just...

Just finding stuff out
on his... on his computer.

You see, George, he told me stuff
that made me think

that Abbie's boyfriend
was up to no good,

and I made
a complete idiot of myself.

So...

I'm just telling him there to stop,
you know, I'd had enough of it.

And George Fitzgerald,
by the looks of it.

I had nothing to do
with what happened to George.

I'll be the judge of that,
Mr Collier.

We'll be making further enquiries
into Mr Fitzgerald's m*rder,

and I think it's extremely likely

that you and I
will be talking again.

He's free to leave - for now.

What?

Nothing.

You...

You spoke to Claire yet?

She's not interested
in talking to me. Not now.

Not after everything I've done.

I've never seen her so angry.

What did you say to her?
The truth.

You told me you couldn't get a loan.

You borrowed money
off Phyllis's house -

where the f*ck has that gone?

I hired a private detective, OK?

I just want to know who it is
who's wrecking my life.

Who is it, then?

This is about the four of you
in that bloody photo, isn't it?

What are you so guilty about, eh?

I can't f*cking tell you.

Well, tell Claire.

I can't.

It'd destroy her.

Oh, she's already been destroyed
by you lying to her.

If you can be honest with her,
you can save your marriage -

isn't that what you want?
ED SIGHS

I've seen all this before, Ed -
when Josh died.

You nearly lost her then.

She was this close to leaving you.

That was you.

When Josh died,
Claire and I, we had counselling,

and she spoke about someone
who she could speak to,

someone who REALLY cared about her.

Yeah, well, someone had to,
cos you weren't here, were you?

KNOCKING

Yes? We have a warrant
to search this house.

What is this?

Excuse me.
Go ahead.

Let's start downstairs
and work through. Yes, Ma'am.

Find.

I trusted you!

I helped her, that was all.

My son, he wasn't cold
in the ground

before you were shagging my wife!
That's not what happened!

Ah!

Ah!
It's always been you, hasn't it?

The photo,

the paint, winding me up.
You're talking bollocks!

Blaming George,
getting me to go after him

to get me out of the way
so you could shack up with Claire!

You've finally lost it!

Christ, Ed, I'm sorry.

Don't you f*cking touch it!

Ed.

PHONE RINGS

What is it?

CLAIRE: 'What the hell
have you done?

'They found your gutting knife
in the bin.'

Ed!

Ed!

Ryan?

Ryan?

What's going on?

Not the best timing...

but I love you,

and I'll always be here for you.

Abbie Collier...

..will you marry me?

Where's my dinner?

Mum.

I'm starving.

I just need you to talk to me, Mum.

And I know what
you're trying to do with me.

You're trying to get rid of me.

I don't know what I'm doing, Mum.

I love you.

And I'm only telling you that

because there might
come a time when...

when I may not be able
to even recognise you.

But I do love you.

Oh, come here.
I love you, Mum.

I know, I know, I know.

I know. I know.

CLAIRE SOBS

CAR ACCELERATES

THUD

No!

THUD

HE GURGLES

Dad is not capable
of k*lling anyone.

Then why is he on the run?

We did something years ago.

I need to tell you the truth.

CRYING: I am guilty.

We both know how damaging
secrets can be.

Abbie!

What are you doing down there?
Just clearing my head.

I'm challenging you now.

Come on - just you and me.

Where are you, Ed?
