CAR HORNS HONK OUTSIDE

HONKING CONTINUES

Shh. Fuck's sake.



Right. You're going to have to
shift it. What's that?

The van. Get it moved.
In five minutes. No, now.

Do you want me to see
if your road tax is up-to-date?

BANGING INDOORS

Nanny?

IN ENGLISH: Right.

Come on, Slayer!

That's better, huh? Come on, Slayer.

HE MUMBLES AT THE DOG

Oi!

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

DOOR CREAKS OPEN

Do as you're told,
no-one gets hurt.



Because I am your worst nightmare.

MAN SNIGGERS

Worst nightmare(!)

Come on!

Come on!

IN ENGLISH: Kill for
a cappuccino.

Shh! Beth? Come on.

Bloody hell...

What are you two doing here?

We heard about the hold-up
over the radio.

Why aren't you at
the agreed RV point?

Armed response said
we could come in.

Where do you want us to start?

The DI is still
interviewing victims.

Whoever it was,
they can't have gone far.

The sooner we get
cracking, the better.

The senior officer will
decide how to proceed.

Ma'am...

..they were wearing balaclavas
and pushing a fruit machine.

With all due respect,
we could have them in custody

by tea-time if we get a move on.

With all due respect, Constable, you
aren't leading this investigation.

BARMAID: ..had woolly hats on.

You need to give us a statement.

You need to come down
to the station to do that.

I'm meant to be here until five.

# I'm still standing
better than I ever did

# Looking like a true survivor

# Feeling like a little kid... #

SHE LAUGHS

# I'm still standing
after all this time

# Picking up the pieces of my life
without you on my mind

# I'm still standing,
yeah, yeah, yeah. #

Lip balm? Yeah, you want some?

Come on.

WOMAN: Yeah. Oh, I don't know.

Shopping or something, probably.

Are you having a party?

Yeah, I know. Eh, we're having
a party later tomorrow.

Yeah, come round.

Yeah, the neighbours are all right.

Got to go.

All right?

Hiya. All right?
Hi, there. You all right?

All right, cool, thank you.
Thank you.

Yeah. All right.

All right, thank you.

Joyriders?

RADIO: The man has been
reported as drunk and disorderly.

If you think he is
violent or dangerous,

reach out and I'll send backup.

Sending the address now. Hold on.

Approach with caution. We don't know
if he still has a knife.

IN ENGLISH: As always.

Alpha Lima 40...

Hello?

Police.

Hello?!

Hello?!

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

SHOUTING: Oi, you got permission
to be here or what?!

You're not funny, Luke!

That's a matter of opinion.

SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC

Gina!

IN ENGLISH: Come on.

Alpha Lima 40.

I'm down at the marina.
We've stumbled on something.

RADIO: What is it that you've found?

Possible crime scene. Blood.

RADIO: OK, I'm sending
another car down.

They should be with you in five
minutes, OK?

We will wait for
further instructions.

I don't know why I waste
my fucking breath! Come here.

Carl?

Gina...

WOMAN: Let me speak to someone who
knows what's going on.

No, I won't take a seat!

If you can't tell me what's
happening, find me someone

who bloody well can.

I'm not leaving till I got answers.

I want to know if it's my
husband you found today.

Is it?

Mrs Rose...
Just tell me.

Is it Stevie?

SHE SOBS

SOBBING CONTINUES

BICYCLE CHAIN WHIRS

I had a bike like that once.

Aluminium frame, 20 gears.

It's in the skip now, innit, after
my brother rolled it into a wall.

Prick, like.

Where have you been? Work.

I'm on the night shift at Simeon's.

I thought only gimps worked there.

Rubbish money, zero hours.
Why do you bother?

It's a job, I suppose.

I wouldn't know, son.

I've never fucking had one!

HE LAUGHS

Oh, look after it, but!
I can see that.

Yeah, the brakes are new.

Pedals, front wheel.

I'd like a bike.

Don't know what Mel would say,
though.

Probably laugh her head off.

Oi.

She's fit, isn't she?

Get a decent one for, like, 300.

The shop in town does
good deals now and then.

Buy you one.

Buy you one.

Might as well keep
this one now, innit?

You can't have it, that's mine.
Look, it was my dad's.

You can't...

Your dad, he's going
to give you a bollocking, is he?

I was right about you, son.

Proper gimp.

Oh...

..don't look at Mel again.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

Oh, fuck...

Shit!

Mum...

Here we are, back in one piece.

Good girl.

Your nan's tired.

I'm sure Sam's helping
out as much as he can.

She had to walk down the shops
yesterday on her own.

What if she had a turn?
Hey. Leave the boy alone.

There's nothing anyone can say
to stop this stubborn old woman

from doing exactly as she bloody
well pleases, understood?

Good.

We estimate the body had
been in the water for two days.

Stevie Rose had been shot
three times in the chest.

The unusual location and the salt
water is complicating matters

for forensics,
but we should know more soon.

So, in the meantime,
search Stevie Rose's house,

the office, go through his e-mails,
bank accounts, everything, OK?

Learn as much as you can
about the victim, because the whole

town is talking about this murder,
so we need to be on top of things.

DI Roberts tells me
you found the body, Gina.

I was lucky, ma'am.

Well, not lucky exactly,
but, you know...

You realise you should have stepped
out of the crime scene as soon

as you realised something
was wrong and reported it?

Luke radioed it in.

But you proceeded to investigate
the situation anyway.

I didn't know it was a body.
It doesn't matter.

You could have jeopardised
the investigation.

The chief inspector and I
have spoken

about you joining the inquiry, Gina.

And we've agreed now isn't
the moment for you to step up. Yeah.

As I'm sure you'll appreciate,
there are more experienced officers

in line for the opportunity.

With time, though.

Indeed.

Carl...

Gina!

Well?

PHONE VIBRATES

DRAMATIC MUSIC

MAN: Mel?

CLATTERING

Mel?!

MAN SHOUTS

Yeah.

Look, it's fine.
Stop shouting, Steffan.

Brill news. I had them in the house.

Yeah, well, I'll come over now.
Look, it's fine. Just calm down.

Look, you're doing my head in now.

Just calm down, I'll come round
and sort it out.

There's nothing to get wound up
about.

All right. Well, what can we do now?

Seriously, what can we do now?

All right, I'll come round now.

I got to go.

I need to go and see Steff.
He's freaking out.

What's happened?
They found Stevie Rose.

I don't want him opening his gob
or doing anything stupid.

What? You going to go yet, or what?

Oi-oi!

PANTING

HAND SLAPPING ON SKIN

GRUNTING

MAN GRUNTS

Yeah? Yeah?

MAN GRUNTS

THEY PANT

See you later.
Bye, love.

IN ENGLISH: Grow some balls.

Listen, I've got nothing
else to say to you.

I told the other detectives
everything I know about Stevie.

Well, people sometimes remember
details after we've left.

Well, not me.

You've been through his desk,
you've questioned the staff.

What more do you want?

We're sorry to disturb you.
Let's go.

So you didn't see Stevie talking
to anyone unfamiliar recently?

Arguing with someone, perhaps?

Stevie hadn't spent a lot of time
at the garage lately.

He'd come in when he needed to sign
papers, meet his accountant.

PHONE RINGS

Aled!

Was there anyone looking for him?

People hanging around?

Only you lot.

Look, if I knew anything,
I'd tell you.

Stevie could be a royal
pain in the arse,

but I wouldn't have wished this on
him. Shot, dumped in the water.

It's bloody horrible.

Look, you'll have to excuse me.

PHONE CONTINUES RINGING

Douglas Rose Motors?

Well...

OK.

IN ENGLISH: Of course.

Hiya. Back again?

We might as well set up
a desk for you in the corner.

The salesman, Aled, is it?

We need another word.

Shooting or no shooting, we have
got work to do today, you know?

We won't keep him long.

Aled!

Aled!

Where's he gone?

Nanny?

All right?

BANGING ON THE DOOR

Steffan?! Are you home?

BANGING CONTINUES

You need to open the door, Steffan.

We have an appointment.

BANGING CONTINUES

Steffan?

MUSIC THUMPS IN NEIGHBOUR'S GARDEN

Reckon you could break into my house
and get away with it, do you, son?

I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Ha!

HE LAUGHS

Fair play, you've got balls, mind.
I'll say that about you.

There aren't many clowns around here
steal from me.

It wasn't your bike to take.

Oh, look at you,
sticking up for himself.

Not such a gimp after all, are you?

HE CLEARS PHLEGM NOISILY

Come on, son, shake my hand.

Come on, shake it,
you won't catch nothing.

Mel will be pleased.

I don't know why, but she's got
a soft spot for you.

Come on, come join us.

I can't.

My nan's been ill, I shouldn't.

MOCKINGLY: "I can't, my nan's been
ill and I shouldn't."

Come on! Shut up, you're coming.

HE LAUGHS

LOUD DANCE MUSIC

The boy's been hanging round
like a bad smell!

What's your name anyway?

Sam. Rhys.

I know.

People have been talking
about us, have they, but?

As long as what they're saying's
nice, I don't mind.

PULSATING DANCE MUSIC

Come here, now! Oi! Do you know what
you've done? Get off!

I knew I shouldn't have said yes,
I knew I shouldn't have let
you talk me into it!

Rhys, tell him!
You said it wasn't a problem!

Rhys! Get off me!

Steff, man!

DANCE MUSIC CONTINUES

Hey.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mrs Rose.
This way.

Fixing this for your grandmother.

It's something you should be able to
do for yourself, don't you think?

No, it's best if I leave
it to the expert.

Liz told me that you
missed your work again.

She wasn't well.

Didn't think you could
afford to skip a shift.

Well, I can't, but who else is going
to look after her?

I'm still looking for my money
at the end of the week.

Do you hear me?

Fuck...

IN ENGLISH: Not my type.

Steffan Morris?

Yeah, that's him.

Steffan?

We haven't been in touch
with your caseworker.

We just need to take
you in for a chat, that's all.

Steffan!

Steffan...

We have sight of Steffan Morris.

He is on foot and we are in pursuit.

Steffan, just stop!

Steffan!

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

Just stop! Steffan!

Steffan, stop!

Steffan! Steffan, stop!

Steffan, come back! Stop there now.
Stop.

Steffan, take it easy.

Take it easy.

Steffan. Steffan. Steffan.

Please step back.

Get back. Steffan!

Stop!

Steffan...

WATER SPLASHES

Suspect is in the water.

Suspect's...

..swept away.

Get off! Hey, hey...
Get him out! Get...

There's no need to lose it.

Stay calm. Get out!

Fuck!

Oh, fuck!

What's happened? Steffan... What?

Steffan!

Hey, hey!

Hey...

NANNY: Sam!
