01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

You broke into his camper van?

Well, George was spying
on me. Spying on you?!

KATZ: On the pub's CCTV,

there's images of Ed
really laying into George.

I had nothing to do with
what happened to George.

Abbie Collier...

will you marry me?

I know what I did

and what I've had to hide.

You might be next.

My son wasn't cold in the ground
before you were shagging my wife!

That's not what happened!

CLAIRE: 'What the
hell have you done?

'They found your gut
knife in the bin.'

Ed!

OK, Officer. Check the
cordon there. OK, Sarge.

PHONE RINGS

Evidence bag, please.

Yep?

On my way.

They found Ed Collier's car.

You OK?

Abbie!

Hi, love.

Any news? No.

Ryan.

Bob's here too.

He's not contacted you?

I told him to go.

I had enough.

It's not your fault.

We've both been worried
about him, Claire.

Obviously, I don't know
him as well as you.

We don't know who you are.
That's the real problem.

BOB: Here we go.

When was the last
time you saw him?

By the boat.

Police came and he
was off like a shot.

Where do you think he's gone?

Oh, he knows the rocks and
dunes like no-one else.

Do you think he did it, Bob?

You do.

I've not seen him
like this before.

You know yourself.

Why would he k*ll George?

All started when he
found that photo.

That said "guilty"?

Where's your slippers, Bob?

Mum, please.

Are you moving in, then?

Oh!

Abbie.

Biscuit?

SHE SOBS

Mum.

I don't know why
this is happening.

Is this what I think it is?
Mm-hm. Ryan proposed last night.

Why didn't you say?

It's not exactly the right
time, is it? I know, but...

Dad is not capable
of k*lling anyone.

Then why is he on the run?

Why doesn't he just
tell them the truth?

Because he can't.

He couldn't tell you, me or Bob.

But whatever it is...

it's finally caught up with him.

PHONE RINGS

Pauline? 'Who's this?'

It's-It's Ed Collier.

I can't engage.

'I didn't k*ll George.

'Please, I need to know
who's doing this to me.'

Please... HE GRUNTS SOFTLY

Well, then, I'm
going to head off.

Don't get up, Claire.

I'll leave the van here in case
you need it for anything, eh?

Thanks, Bob.

PHONE WHOOSHES

PHONE VIBRATES

Abbie?

It's just... Katz
wanting an update.

Can you tell Ryan I'm just...?

Thanks.

Abs.

Dad, this has got to stop.

Do you have any idea what
Mum is going through?

What I am going through?

I'm so sorry, Abbie, but I had
nothing to do with George's death.

Y-You must know that.

Please, just hand
yourself in to the police.

I-I will, I will. But
first, I need to find his...

That is not your job.

I'm only trying to protect
you, Mum and Nan. Who from?!

There was a man I
was in the Navy with.

Craig Passarello... What
are you talking about?

He came to the house.

Dad...

I need you.

I'm getting married.

I just need some
money, Abs, some cash.

I'll give it you back.

What? RYAN: Abbie!

What you doing down
there? I-I'm...

just clearing my head.

Police are at the house.
They wanna talk to us.

I'll be with Josh.

OK. Coming.

Can you tell us anything about
a man named Craig Passarello?

He's an old friend of Ed's.

Do you have any idea when
your husband last saw him?

He'd not seen him for years.

But he was here two days ago.

What's happened to him?

He was found this morning.

The victim of a
fatal hit and run.

And you think my
husband's involved?

We found his car near
the scene, Mrs Collier -

he certainly has
questions to answer.

Look, if any of you know, or
have any idea, where Ed is,

then please, for
his sake, tell us.

The sooner we can bring him in
and talk to him, the better it is.

For everyone.

Abbie.

Abbie?

Do you know where
your father is?

KATZ: Abbie?

Where's Abbie?

She texted me to...

Bring some money?

Yes. It's for me.

I hope I didn't cause
you too much trouble.

I gave the police the
CCTV of you and George.

You did the right thing.

Everyone reckons you did it.

Well, everyone's
wrong, aren't they?

I believe you.

Erm... SIREN WAILS

You should go. Right.
Thank you, Katz.

Weather might've played havoc...

What the f*ck are you doing,
running away like this?

You gonna hand me in?

How come they found your
gutting knife in the bin

with blood on it? If
I'd have k*lled George

out on the boat...

what the f*ck would I be
doing bringing my knife home

and chucking it in the bin
for the police to find?

I'd have done it out
there, wouldn't I?

I'd have thrown the
body and the knife -

like, everything - into the sea.

So you think you've been set up?

We did something...

..years ago.

And we swore that we'd
never tell anyone.

You think one of them
k*lled George? Mm, yeah.

It's this guy -
Craig Passarello.

You sure? Yeah.

Because, according
to the police,

he was found dead this
morning in a hit and run.

Maybe whoever k*lled him
m*rder*d George as well.

So if it's not him...

..who is it?

Why are you looking at my phone?

I'm not.

I saw you had a
message from Katz.

Assumed you'd like to see it.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. I'm... just...

You don't have to apologise...

with all the stuff
that's going on.

Your dad messaged you

and you had to go and see him.

I'm just surprised
you didn't tell me.

We both know how
damaging secrets can be.

I believe him.

That he didn't
k*ll George. Sure.

But the longer he's on the run,
the more guilty he appears to be.

It would probably be best
if he turned himself in.

I admire your loyalty, though.

OK?

No, I don't know
who it is but, um...

maybe this private detective I've
hired can get more information.

Will she speak to me?
Well, I don't know.

Or Claire?

Did you sleep with her?

We've been through this, Ed.

She needed someone to talk to,
listen to, cos you'd disappeared.

Did you sleep with her?

No.

I'd do anything for her...

cos she's my best mate's wife.

And I love her...

like I love you.

That's it.

Now, Claire...

deserves the truth.

Can you get her to see me?

Just nipping out.

Didn't the detective
say we should stay here?

Yes, but we need some things.

Well, shouldn't YOU stay here?

I'll be where I want to be.

Is that all right
with you, Ryan?

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Ah.

Bob was right.

When Josh died, I...

I ran away. You shut me out.

I want to tell
you the truth. Oh!

Should've told you years ago

but I was too scared of
what you might think.

There was a junior officer...

..on HMS Leavenstone in 1994.

When that photo was taken?

His name was Baxter.

He was tough. He
took no prisoners.

He was only doing his job
but we didn't like it.

We didn't like him.

He didn't deserve what happened.

It was the last
night in Gibraltar.

'Out on the piss. There
was me and Arthur, Des...

'Craig Passarello
living it large.'

On the way back to the ship...

..there he was.

Sub-lieutenant Nicholas Baxter.

All alone.

I'm watching you.

You playing, then,
or what? Come on.

Spades.

We only meant to scare him,

wind him up,

make him feel like we felt.

It all got out of hand.

What did you do?

We went at him.

Shouting, screaming.

Cornered him.

We knew we were gonna get in serious
trouble, but we couldn't stop.

But then he pushed through.

And suddenly he
was in the water.

And he didn't come
back up again.

And I dived in, like,
to get him, and...

..I kept going deeper, deeper.

I couldn't find him.

And they found him early
the next morning. He...

He drowned.

He cracked his skull - he
must have hit something.

We made a pact.

We saw nothing, we heard
nothing, we did nothing.

Oh, Ed!

SHE EXHALES DEEPLY

We put some cocaine
under his bunk...

..to make it look like he'd
been off his face or something.

You can blame the drink,

blame Craig, whose idea it was.

You can blame any one of them.

I was there, Claire.

I took part.

I am guilty.

I am.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, Claire.

CLAIRE: This is why you felt
so guilty when Josh drowned.

ED: Yeah, I... I thought I
was being punished for...

For what we did.

My baby.

How long did Pauline
say she'd be?

You spent all that money
on a private detective.

Well, I was hoping that Pauline
might find something out.

What the f*ck are we doing, Ed?

Claire?

I don't know you.

What do I do?

Claire, I-I...

VEHICLE APPROACHES Who's that?

That's her.

That's your lot.

What does it say?

"The officer that was
found dead in Gibraltar

"was Sub-lieutenant
Nicholas Baxter."

What?

"He had a four-year-old
son, Karl Baxter..."

"Who, at the age of 18,
changed his name to...

"Ryan Wilson."

THEY TALK QUIETLY

PHYLLIS: I saw you.

I saw you with Ed's
knife down by the bins.

Are you sure it was me?

I saw you, yes.

Might be your brain
again. No, no.

Just sit down...

and drink your tea.

Good girl.

Will you tell them that
your dad was at the church?

They think he's k*lled another
man. They've got evidence.

And you don't believe him?

The longer he's on the run, the
more guilty he appears to be.

Is that what Ryan's told you?

I wonder if we should
go look for him.

So you can turn him in?

So we can talk to him, help him.

It's only a matter of time
before the police find him.

Better us than them.

And I think I know
where he might be.

Where? You want to come with?

What about Nan?

Katz, would you mind?

Maybe we should all stay here.
Claire said she would be back soon.

We won't be gone
for long, I promise.

Thank you, Katz.

Abbie...

You'll be fine - Katz is here.

I should've listened to you.

I was completely blindsided
by him. PHONE LINE RINGS OUT

Why isn't she answering?

Where else could he go?

I told him where we
put the spare key.

Have you seen my phone?

Did you leave it at your nan's?

Dad?

Ed?

Dad?

Dad?

He's not here.

If I had my phone,
I could call him.

Maybe he turned his phone off.

Yeah, but I still need to call
my mum, find out where she is.

SHE SIGHS

Maybe I left it in the car.

No.

George.

SHE SCREAMS

Ryan blames you
for what happened.

Not just to his dad, but
his mum k*lling herself.

Well, why didn't he k*ll
me when he had the chance?

From the moment I first met
him, I knew something was...

If you had just been honest
in the first place...

Wh-What you doing?

Give me the phone.

RYAN: Sit.

SIT!

We need to get back! We
need to call the police.

PHONE RINGS

It's Ryan.

HE SIGHS AND STUTTERS

What are you gonna say
to him? I don't know.

Hello?

ABBIE: 'Hi, Mum.'

Abbie.

'Are you on speakerphone?'

'What's happened?'

Er, I lost my phone.

I'm... I'm using Ryan's.

'Where are you?'

Heading home.

Are you with Nan?

'Katz is with her.'

Abbie...

'Are you OK, darling?'

Yeah, I'm fine.

RYAN: 'Hi, Claire.

'We're worried about you.'

Oh, Ryan. Hi.

I'm fine.

'You sure?'

Just a bit worried... I guess.

WHISPERS: We need to
get him away from Abbie.

Why don't you come over?

I'll make us some dinner.

'We can open up the champagne -

'celebrate the
engagement properly.'

You'd like that,
wouldn't you, Abbie?

'Did you know that
Abbie met with Ed?

'Katz also met with him.

'She gave him money.'

Earlier, in the house,

you were definitely
hiding something.

How you doing, Karl?

Dad?

You gonna talk to me,
Karl? Go on, I dare you.

'Arthur and Craig - they
were easy, weren't they?

'They didn't see you coming.'

But I saw you from the
first moment we met.

'You took my hand, remember?
And you challenged me.'

Well, I'm...

I'm challenging you now.

Come on - just you and me.

Where are you, Ed?

I'm going to go and see Arthur.

'I think you know
where that is.'

Get off me. Get off me.

GET OFF ME!

DISCONNECTION TONE

What are you doing?
Where are you going?

Darling... Claire, Claire...

I know what I'm doing.

Please... trust me.

I love you. I love you.

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

Did Abbie tell you this is where
my father's ashes are scattered?

Where is she?

Home.

She's the only reason
you're still alive.

If you've hurt her...

What are you gonna do, Ed?

k*ll me...

..like you k*lled my father?

This is for you.

Here we go.

Oh, my stupid head!

I should have
warned her. What?

Abbie? What do you mean? Ryan!

He'll soon be down
to the harbour.

He told me not to tell
Claire he was there.

I knew he was up to something.

We have to save her.

PHONE LINE RINGS OUT

She's not answering. Oh, God!

Were you the one who pushed him?

No-one pushed him.

Oh, no.

Accidental death. Yeah,
Des told me everything.

Des?

A year ago...

he wrote to me.

He said he had
something to tell me.

You know he was a
Catholic, right?

Hadn't gone to confession
in over 20 years.

Arthur went to see
him. I always...

Needed to get something
off his chest.

By all accounts, he
died a happy man.

What would your
last words be, Ed?

I-I dived in. I
tried to save him.

You couldn't save my father.

You couldn't save your own son.

"Guilty."

Did Des give you that?

My father took this photo.

DISTORTED LAUGHTER

I found a camera

amongst the things that were
sent back when my dad died.

A roll of film.

And there you all were.

You know, I stupidly thought that
he took this because he liked you.

His favourite crew.

Where's Arthur?

I hope to bury all
four of you up here.

How did you k*ll him?

Same way I k*lled Craig.

I am genuinely sorry for
what happened to your father.

If I had my time...

HE BREATHES SHAKILY

You know, I barely remember him.

The smoke on his breath.

The scratch of his beard.

But my mother...

..and the shame of it all...

..that he should be painted
as some kind of drug addict,

who deserved what happened?

Drugs planted by you...

and your comrades!

Argh!

I tried to be enough for her.

I found her body.

I was ten.

Sleeping pills in
a puddle of vodka.

And I hated them for
what they did to me.

I lied about who I was.

And then Des writes me a letter.

RYAN CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Ryan.

Ryan, please.

No more hiding, Ed.

Abbie?

MUFFLED SHOUTING Abbie.

Abbie!

MUFFLED: In here! Abbie, my...

Get the knife!

What's happened? Where's Ryan?

Call the police. I did.

Get them to Cary Point.

Police.

Yes. Abbie!

Abbie! Abbie!

HE PANTS

WHISTLING

RYAN: This isn't
the sea, is it, Ed?

This is my domain. SNAPPING

Good old-fashioned terra firma.

Four months ago, I
came to k*ll you.

I was waiting for
your boat to come in.

And who should come along?

She said she was
waiting for her dad.

You.

So I suggested that we went
for a drink while she waited.

Love at first sight!

You never loved her!

I do love her.

Like a cancer.

I sabotaged your boat, Ed.

Saltwater in the diesel.

What, in the tank?

I have to say, I thought using a
prost*tute was a stroke of genius.

I'm free tonight.

Any time. Whatever
works for you.

I can't wait to see you.

I loved how you thought
that by using Bob's van

you would somehow...

be invisible? HE SCOFFS

Watching you in
that restaurant -

YOUR whole world falling apart.

I don't know what you
think you heard, Ed,

but all I was trying to do
was help someone in need.

The disgrace in Abbie's eyes,

as she realised that
her precious daddy...

had completely f*cked up.

Putting the lifeguard hoodie on

to make myself look like
George on the pub camera...

I wasn't gonna show you this,

but I think George posted
it through our letterbox.

He's making us all paranoid.

Cutting my hand. Poor me.

RYAN GRUNTS

Planting the gutting knife...

..when Claire went for a swim.

Everything bad that's
happened to you...

is because of me.

And now...

I've finally got you.

Hook...

..line...

and sinker.

I was impressed with George.

He really got close.

Is that why you stabbed him
in the back of the neck?

You're to blame, Ed.

Des has paid his price.

Arthur and Craig
have paid theirs.

ED GROANS

And now you pay yours.

Argh!

There's nowhere to go.

No-one to save you.

It's over.

NO!

What are you gonna do with that?

No, Abbie. Don't.

He k*lled George. He
was gonna k*ll you.

It's him you should
be k*lling...

not me.

SHE GASPS AND PANTS

A-Abbie. Abbie.

Abbie. Abbie.

SHE PANTS IN SHOCK

There we go. That's it.

SHE PANTS

Oh, my love. Come on.

SHE WAILS

That's it. It's all
right. All right.

It's all right.

ABBIE SOBS

SHE PANTS

It's all right. Sh-sh-sh.

You all set, then?

Passport, charger, money.

They said I might have to
come back for the trial.

Ah, well, er, Ryan's
pleaded guilty,

so there shouldn't be a trial.

And what about you...

and Ryan's dad?

Well, I... I made a
statement, so, er...

..I'll take what comes.

I love you, Dad.

To Abbie and Katz.
GROUP: Abbie and Katz.

CLAIRE: We're gonna miss you.

She's gonna have the time
of her life. You too, Katz.

KATZ: I'll make sure
we do. THEY CHUCKLE

Abbie... little
something for you,

just a little bit of
spending money, really.

And don't you forget to send
me a postcard, now, be sure.

Thanks, Nan! All
right, my love.

Claire, just want to thank you -

you know, for...

well, for looking after me.

I can only guess how difficult
that must be sometimes for you.

Oh, Mum. I love you.

I love you.

I'll be back in
two minutes. Yeah.

You look amazing.

It's not going to be easy, Ed.

I know, but it...
it feels different.

I feel different.

No more secrets.

Let's see how we go, yeah?

Abbie?

Just felt so right.

Him.

Everything made sense.

Ryan's in the past now.

Locked up, safe and sound.

I know.

Everything's gonna be OK.
