I lost control.

DI Rhys.
Sir.
- You were in Bontnewydd
-
- when you joined the Force.
Yes, when I joined, sir.

Did your paths cross?
I was only a PC.
Was there anything else, sir?
No, that was all.
Have we got the pathology report?
- Have we got the pathology report?
- We're still waiting for it, sir.
Sir?
- Sir?
- Yes?
I'm not trying...
- I'm not trying...
- Sian.
Just do your best.
Mared?
What are you doing here?
- They asked me
-
- to look after the case.
I didn't have a choice.
Is it a problem?
I don't know yet.
TELEVISION
Hi.
Sorry.
Is everything OK?
- Is everything OK?
- There's no electricity.
- The fuse box isn't working
-
- for the hundredth time.
I haven't sorted the wiring yet.
Whisky?
- Whisky?
- Yes.
Just add it to the bill.
There's no need.
It'll help towards the wiring.
It was my grandparents' place.
I used to come here as a child.
I loved it.
The sea.
Happy times.
So, you took it on.
Yes.
They were getting old...
..and my marriage was over.
Hm.
Why are you here?
Work posted me here.
Exiled!
Yes, something like that.
- Someone from the police
-
- called here today.
They were asking about you.
- They asked
-
- where you were last night.
I thought you were the policeman.
Sometimes, it doesn't help.
I try to do the best thing, but...
Well...
It's complicated.
What do they think you've done?
They think I've killed someone.
I didn't.
How's Elin?
She's fine.
- She's probably thinking
-
- about going to college.
Looking at universities...
- Looking at universities...
- John.
Listen...
If I could turn back the clock...
I never asked you for anything.
I had a wife.
A family.
I do remember.
She's still my daughter.
She isn't your daughter.
She was never your daughter.

Mathias.
- This is where
-
- we used to hide as kids.
- You caught me by surprise
-
- when you asked me about Lewis.
- I put it behind me
-
- a long time ago...
..and I moved on.
I'm sorry for bringing it up again.
How did you start modelling for him?
I served tables on the seafront.
It was just a weekend job.
I was seventeen.
I was still at school.
Modelling made me feel like a woman.
- I would sit for him
-
- and he'd ask me to undress.
Were you comfortable with it?
I don't know.
Did he ask you to sit for him?
- Did he ask you to sit for him?
- No, she did.
Anna.
His wife?
I didn't see it at the time.
But it was her, really.
- She approached me
-
- and was very flattering.
She said I was unique...
..and intriguing.
- Did she know you were
-
- only seventeen?
Seventeen going on thirty.
Anna would place me in a pose.
It was as if she was tempting him.
- But you felt you had to make
-
- an allegation against him.
- They said
-
- there was insufficient evidence.
Perhaps they were right.
Perhaps they were wrong.
- I decided to put it all behind me
-
- and move on.
Yeah.
- But things like that
-
- never leave you, do they?
You're early.
I know.
Sir.
Sit down.
I'll stand, thank you.
Fine.
DCI Mathias...
What are your feelings towards him?
My feelings?
Has he ever caused you concern?
His manner of interrogation.
The way he deals with cases.
You know our job is difficult.
Do you regard him as a friend?
- Do you regard him as a friend?
- Yes, I do.
Does he regard you as a friend?
- Does he regard you as a friend?
- Ask him.
You must talk, discuss problems...
- You must talk, discuss problems...
- Like a family?
- Why am I here?
-
- Just ask the question.
- You couldn't get hold of
-
- DCI Mathias the other night.
Did he tell you where he'd been?
Do you know where...?
- Do you know where...?
- He was looking for Iwan Thomas.
You already know that!
Mared!
Come in.
TAPPING
Do you choose all the models?
No, not all of them.
- But you decide who he paints
-
- and how he paints them.
- At the start,
-
- he felt guilty about it.
Guilty?
- Guilty?
- For wanting them.
He was afraid he'd hurt me.
- Shouldn't a line be drawn
-
- between an artist and a model?
Should there be one?
A line?
- A line?
- Yes.
A professional line.
You're a professional.
Have you ever crossed the line?
They pick themselves.
I spot them a mile off.
- Lewis doesn't have a type,
-
- if that's what you mean.
What about Laura Dean?
What about her?
Was she different from the others?
No.
- Didn't she sleep over
-
- like Joanna Miller?
We've got a spare room.
- You seem very comfortable
-
- with his indiscretions.
He develops obsessions.
Obsessions come and go.
They were no different.
- They mean nothing to him
-
- once he's finished with them.
They fascinate him for a while.
Once they're out of the limelight...
..they disappear.
All of them?
All of them.

Ifan?
Sorry.
Erm...
I had...
I had to come to work.
I was... erm...
Erm...
It's easier than being at home.
It's better to keep busy.
- If you find the right soil
-
- and the right light...
..the temperature and water...
..it pays off.
You're rewarded.
- You get something back
-
- for the care you give them.
Can we talk somewhere, please?
We're alone.
We can talk here.
Laura was pregnant.
- The pathology report
-
- came back this morning.
It was very early. Only eight weeks.
No...
We're sorry.
I didn't know.
- The pathologists ran tests to detect
-
- anything unusual in Laura's blood...
..and they matched your DNA.
What?
Well...
You were the father.
No.
No, no...
It's a mistake.
It can't be.
You've made a mistake.
It can't be.
No.
It's not mine.
It's not mine!
Ifan?
- Ifan?
- Get out!
Leave! Get out!
Ifan?
- Ifan?
- No!
No!
No!
No!
He's got a clean record.
- I'll make a few phone calls
-
- to see what I can find out.
Can't you leave me alone?
We want to talk.
About DCI Mathias.
- Iwan must've talked to you
-
- or confided in you...
..about things that bothered him.
Iwan was a drinker.
When he drank, he talked.
- It was difficult to know
-
- what to believe.
- You made some serious accusations
-
- yesterday, Mr Thomas.
I was angry yesterday.
With myself.
For not doing more to help him.
It got the better of me.
I shouldn't have said anything.
Listen...
If you know something...
..it's better to work with us.
It's better to work on your own.
Now...
..I've got things to do.
Is that what Iwan was doing?
Working on his own?
- Iwan didn't know what he was doing
-
- from one day to the next.
You could help us.
For his sake.
For his sake?
- When have you done anything
-
- for his sake?
- What did he mean
-
- when he said it was mistake?
Why was the baby a mistake?
- Why was the baby a mistake?
- He was upset.
That was rage, not grief.
Is that how someone reacts...
- ..when the person they've lost
-
- and loved was expecting their baby?
- Laura lied about
-
- the gallery opening on Wednesday...
..because she was with Lewis John.
- She went to work on Thursday
-
- and left at the usual time.
Correct.
Was Ifan working on Friday?
- His employers said he was there
-
- and left late as usual.
- Was there anything unusual
-
- about his behaviour?
No, they said he behaved normally.
Nothing different, then.
- No. He left early on Wednesday
-
- and was ill on Thursday.
What was wrong?
- They didn't say.
-
- He just said he was ill.
Ifan didn't know Laura was pregnant.
- Ifan didn't know Laura was pregnant.
- Maybe she didn't know herself.
But she was eight weeks gone.
Maybe he thought it wasn't his baby.
He'd said Laura was seeing someone.
- Why did he leave work early
-
- on Wednesday?
- We don't know.
-
- He didn't tell anyone.
He's been lying to us.
- I think he left work early
-
- to follow Laura...
..and find out where she was going.
He knew about the affair.
- He didn't call her in Caernarfon
-
- because she was with Lewis John.
- He wasn't in work on Thursday
-
- because he'd found out the truth.
- The messages, texts, meeting her and
-
- reporting her missing was all a lie.
- He knew Laura wasn't coming back
-
- because he'd killed her.
- The only thing he didn't know until
-
- now is that he'd fathered the child.
Send an unit to Ifan Riley's house.
- Send an unit to Ifan Riley's house.
- OK, sir.
Ifan Riley?!
There's no sign of him, sir.
His car isn't here.
OK, Lloyd.
I know where he might be.

Who are you?
You stole Laura from me.
Ifan?
You treated her like an object.
No, I didn't.
I cared about Laura.
No, you didn't.
You only care about this.
I gave her everything.
And then you came along.
You put ideas in her head.
You made her feel special.
Whatever you think happened here...
..you're wrong.
You poisoned her against me.
No, I didn't.
Laura died because of you.
Huh!
Phone the house.
Lewis?

Lewis! Lewis!
Oh, God! Oh, God!
It's Ifan!
Ifan.
What have you done?!
- What have you done?!
- Please!
I need help, Ifan.
Please!
You and him. You're both the same.
No! No!
No!
Let her go! Let her go!
No!

SHALLOW BREATHING
Put the knife down, Ifan.
Let them go.
This was her choice.
It was Laura's choice.
It's their fault.
- They've taken
-
- everything away from me!
SHE WHIMPERS
I'd known for months.
That she'd been lying.
In the end, I had to know the truth.
Tell me, Ifan...
HE MOANS
- What happened
-
- when she came home the next day?
I just wanted her to tell me why.
- She said
-
- she didn't love me any more.
That I was suffocating her.
Put the knife down, Ifan.
- She said she was in love
-
- with someone else.
And that she was pregnant.
She said it was his baby.
I believed her.
I lost control.
I grabbed her.
I strangled her.
Why did she have to lie?
Ifan, look at me.
Give me the knife.
Come on.
That's it. Slowly.
Come on.
Do you have everything?
Yes.
- If you need anything at all,
-
- just ask.
Thanks.
- Did you speak to his cousin,
-
- Gareth Thomas?
Yes.
Do you think he knows something?
More than he's letting on.
