The Rising (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript

'The following program me contains
strong language from the outset.'

'He can't even see you.' 'He
can now. I don't know why.

I don't know what's going on.
Maybe he's always seen me.'

Your mum and I have been talking.
It's William Wyatt. What?

Your mum and I have been talking.
It's William Wyatt. What?

William Wyatt killed
me, with his belt.

I've so wanted to
share this with you.

Just sort this out. Come home.

Just sort this out. Come home.

I believe you.

You're embarrassing yourself, and
you're embarrassing Christine.



You're embarrassing yourself, and
you're embarrassing Christine.

I thought you were
supposed to be a friend.

I am. And as her friend, I've never
understood what she saw in you.

What the hell are
you doing, Joseph?!

Stop!

'You gave me GHB.'

Neve!

Oh, my God.

Neve!

Neve!

Neve!

What the fuck just happened?

I know you're upset but
you can't just ignore that.

I'm so sorry I didn't
tell you about the GHB.



I just... I didn't...

I didn't want you
to blame yourself.

I didn't want you
to blame yourself.

I don't!

You're the only good thing
in my life right now.

Neve! Please don't push
me away. Please, please.

You lied to me.

I didn't lie to you, I just didn't
know how to tell you the truth.

I didn't lie to you, I just didn't
know how to tell you the truth.

And I messed up, OK? I'm
so sorry, I really am.

And I messed up, OK? I'm
so sorry, I really am.

My dad... my
murderer... and you.

My dad... my
murderer... and you.

Maybe the only people who can see me
are the ones who hurt me the most.

Maybe the only people who can see me
are the ones who hurt me the most.

How are your ribs?

You think anything's broken?

Nothing that can't be fixed.

Oh.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

What's happened?

What's happened?

They're releasing Neve's body.

There's no better days

until I'm scared of day.

We can't let this happen.

Why?

It might change something,
and... I'm not ready.

You've had all this
time. I've not even...

You've had all this
time. I've not even...

I need to speak to her.

I need to speak to her.

I need to see her.
Shh, shh, shh.

I can't lose her again.

What is it? Is she here?

What is it? Is she here?

She's here.

Don't tell her.

Where is she? Neve?

Mum? We've been talking.
She believes me.

She knows you're here.

There. You're touching.

I can't feel anything.

It's OK.

Let's just go inside.

Come on.

I haven't been able to stop thinking
about the argument... after the race.

I haven't been able to stop thinking
about the argument... after the race.

Don't be an idiot. Like
I care about that now.

She said it doesn't matter.

Doesn't sound like Neve.

Well, she actually said, "Don't be an
idiot." Like she cares about that now.

Can you not...

Can you not...

Just tell me exactly
what she says.

Yeah. Sorry.

Do you remember

when you were younger, we'd
go to the cafe together

when you were younger, we'd
go to the cafe together

and we'd always
have the same thing?

Apple juice... A carton of juice...
..and salt and vinegar crisps.

It was your way of getting
me out of the house when

you had too much drink.
What's she saying?

She said, um... that's
what you used to do

to get her out of the
house when I was, um

when I'd been drinking.

I didn't realise you knew that.

I was thinking about it because

it was our thing for years

even after we moved out, and

at some point we stopped doing
it, and... and I don't know why.

At some point we stopped doing
it, and... and I don't know why.

I guess you just grew up.

I can't remember the
last time, and...

I can't remember
the last time, and.

I think it's because
I didn't realise

it was gonna be the last time

so I didn't pay attention.

So I didn't pay attention.

I didn't... I
didn't memorise it.

Now it's gone.

And now I'm scared, because

cos the last time I held you,

cos the last time I held you,

I didn't know then either

that I wouldn't get to do it again,
and I don't want to lose her,

that I wouldn't get to do it again,
and I don't want to lose her,

I don't want to lose
any of the last times.

Hey, you haven't lost Neve.

She's still here. I just...

She's still here. I just...

I just...

I just wish I could
see something.

I just wish I could
see something.

Is she here? Daniel?

I tried calling.

Has something happened?

I spoke to the coroner's office.
Can we talk about this outside?

I spoke to the coroner's office.
Can we talk about this outside?

Why? Didn't you decide together?
What's going on? Decide what?

It was our decision to make.

It was our decision to make.

But you can't just refuse
to accept her body.

She has to be buried,
Maria. I know it's hard.

We're not ready. I've made an
appointment with the vicar.

We're not ready. I've made an
appointment with the vicar.

What? I thought maybe
you could chat to him.

I'll leave you two
to it. Cancel it!

I'll leave you two
to it. Cancel it!

Neve, wait. It's OK.

Something's happening to
me, Dad. I'm changing.

What do you mean? I don't know.

It's like... I've started
disappearing... bit by bit.

It's like... I've started
disappearing... bit by bit.

What will happen if you
bury me? We're not going to.

Where am I gonna go?
We're gonna stop it.

I've just started talking to
Mum. Maybe she will see me.

I've just started talking to
Mum. Maybe she will see me.

Hey, hey. I said we'll stop it.

You're not going anywhere.

How could you know that?

I can't be here for
any of this. Neve.

We'll decide.

It's not just about you.

Doesn't Neve deserve
a proper goodbye?

Hey.

You OK?

You OK?

Yep.

Thought you might need to talk.

Do you mind if I
stay here for a bit?

Police are searching the house.

They're up at the hotel,
too. Absolute joke.

They're up at the hotel,
too. Absolute joke.

They won't find anything.

They won't find anything.

I hope they do.

You don't think he did it?

For real? He's your fucking dad.
It's always someone's dad, isn't it?

Or son.

Brother.

Brother.

No-one ever thinks
it's gonna be theirs.

You been in a fight? No.

You don't have to be
like them, you know?

Who? Grandad...

Dad...

Dad

the guys at the club.

The way you all turn
every feeling into anger

cos you're too scared
to feel anything else.

Cos you're too scared
to feel anything else.

That's not true. Lashing out

to prove that you're not weak.

When are you gonna realise
it's the same thing?

I don't want to be this angry.

It just takes over sometimes.

Especially since Neve.

It's contagious.

I swear, it spreads through
this place like disease.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I know the crash
wasn't your fault.

I guess it was easier to
blame you than myself.

I guess it was easier to
blame you than myself.

I'll tell everyone the truth.

What's the point?

Have them hate you, too?

I'm used to it now, anyway.

Why'd you come back?

Cos of my dad.

Cos of my dad.

He's controlled us
our whole lives.

'Well, that's all changed now.'

'Well, that's all changed now.'

Chris, come on. You
don't need to be in here.

Chris, come on. You
don't need to be in here.

Been trekking all over
town looking for you.

Your dad's worried.

Your dad's worried.

Guess I'll text him
and be on my way, then.

Sit down if you want.

Is that what you want?

I'll take that as a yes.

Maybe you were right

about facing what's happened.

But the GHB's
screwed up my memory.

But the GHB's
screwed up my memory.

I don't think it's the drugs.

I remember everything
that night.

Maybe you've blocked it out.

Maybe you've blocked it out.

It's my fault.

I made the choice, I put
myself in that position.

I made the choice, I put
myself in that position.

If I hadn't taken that shit,
I could have fought back.

I got myself killed. Stop!

I got myself killed. Stop!

This is exactly what I
didn't want you to do.

I've fucked everyone's life up.

I've fucked everyone's life up.

Mum's never gonna get over this.

Me still being here is just
making it worse. She's...

Me still being here is just
making it worse. She's...

She's trapped, too.

You didn't do that to her.

You didn't get a choice.

You didn't get a choice.

And you didn't fuck
anyone's life up.

You saved mine.

You saved mine.

Mum's trying to stop
them releasing my body.

I think she thinks
if... they bury me, I...

I think she thinks
if... they bury me, I.

I might pass on, or something.

Is that what you think, too?

Is that what you think, too?

You saw what
happened to my hands.

I'm already fading, so...

Nope. Still here.

Nope. Still here.

Alex.

Your body's been
lying in a freezer.

What difference will it
make if it's in the ground?

What difference will it
make if it's in the ground?

You're not gonna disappear.

Maybe it's better if I do.

Maybe it's better if I do.

We've been granted an
extension to your custody time

due to additional evidence.

Due to additional evidence.

What evidence?

These keys were found
inside your workshop,

and one of them matches
the lock on the boat shed.

So?

Did you take a boat from that
shed, the night of the party,

to dispose of Neve's body?

I've had these keys for
years, since Alex was a kid.

I've had these keys for
years, since Alex was a kid.

Plenty of people use the boat shed.
You haven't answered the question.

Well, the answer's no.

Well, the answer's no.

Is that all you've got?

We've also found traces of
blood in Room 7 of Keaton Hall.

Do you know anything about that?

Do you know anything about that?

No comment.

Forensics are working
to extract DNA,

which we'll compare with Neve's.

Which we'll compare with Neve's.

It's in your interests
to cooperate.

Is it Neve's blood?

No comment.

William...

William... did you
murder Neve Kelly?

No fucking comment.

No fucking comment.

Where's Mum? Gone to church.

Family meeting.

Family meeting.

I've gotta get down
there, but I just...

My head's pounding non-stop.

I never said it before, but.

I am proud of you for stopping.

I am proud of you for stopping.

Don't get mushy.

I... I don't know
who I am without it.

I... I don't know
who I am without it.

So things are a bit
scary right now.

But I know it's the right
thing... for you and for your mum.

If I'd just stopped
a long time ago,

If I'd just stopped
a long time ago,

maybe things would've
been different.

I've gotta go.

I promise you, you don't need
to worry about this funeral.

We're gonna shut this
down. Maybe you shouldn't.

We're gonna shut this
down. Maybe you shouldn't.

I don't know who I am either...
if I'm not here any more,

I don't know who I am either...
if I'm not here any more,

but... that's no
reason to fight it.

I think I'm ready to find out.

We're gonna be late.

We're gonna be late.

Why'd Max throw these away?

Oh, camera's broken.
See the smudges?

Oh, camera's broken.
See the smudges?

Mm.

Said he wanted to take it
to Maria to fix but, um...

I said it wasn't a
good idea right now.

I'll, uh, have a look later.

I'll, uh, have a look later.

You look smart.

You know you don't have to come?

No, I want to.

For Neve.

Hop in the car. I'll
only be a minute.

I've got an appointment.
It won't be long.

I've got an appointment.
It won't be long.

Just a few questions.

What, about William? Uh...

Actually, um, it's
about your ex-wife.

Actually, um, it's
about your ex-wife.

What does Victoria have
to do with Neve's case?

I'm not sure yet. Just
following a line of enquiry.

What did you think had happened,
when Victoria went missing?

Things had got too much for her.

I thought she walked out on us.

I thought she walked out on us.

But then she would
have come back.

For the kids.

For the kids.

She struggled... being a mum,

but she loved them both so much.

But she loved them both so much.

So, what do you believe now?

That she took her own life.

That maybe she was in such a state,
there was some sort of accident.

That maybe she was in such a state,
there was some sort of accident.

How is this relevant to Neve?

How is this relevant to Neve?

Victoria was one of the architects
on Keaton Hall, is that right?

Yeah, it was her
last project. Mm.

And William obviously ended
up buying the property.

And William obviously ended
up buying the property.

Did the two of them spend
much time there alone?

Do you think he did
something to her?

We found evidence of
blood at the Hall.

We found evidence of
blood at the Hall.

Obviously, we were looking
to link it to Neve,

but forensics have identified

that it's around seven
or eight years old.

That it's around seven
or eight years old.

We haven't been able
to extract DNA yet.

It takes longer with
a sample of that age.

It's entirely possible that it's
totally unconnected to Victoria.

But you think it's her?

But you think it's her?

What did she say?

Nothing important, love.

Nothing important, love.

I don't believe you.

Why would she want that?

Why would she want that?

She just feels like it might
be better for everyone.

Not for me.

If she's still here, why
would I risk losing her?

If she's still here, why
would I risk losing her?

Just hear what they have to say.

Give them a chance.

I've spoken to the vicar. He
knows we don't want to go ahead.

So, we don't even get a say?

So, we don't even get a say?

This was supposed to be a meeting,
an actual conversation, Maria.

The coroner can't keep the
body. Just for a bit longer.

For what?! I'm not ready.

So fuck the rest of us?! Katie.

No.

No.

I'm sick of her
being so selfish.

You know Max is barely
getting out of bed now?

No. Cos you didn't
bother to ask.

No. Cos you didn't
bother to ask.

He needs to be able
to say goodbye.

You're not just holding Neve
hostage, it's all of us.

You're not just holding Neve
hostage, it's all of us.

I don't know why I'm surprised.

You couldn't even let her
go when she was alive.

OK, that's enough. No.

Maria. I need time on my own.

Did they find anything?

They wouldn't let
me know if they had.

Leave that. I'll do it.

Leave that. I'll do it.

I said I'll do it.
I want to help.

I don't want you to have
to lift a finger. Ever.

I'm sorry I let you down.

It's OK. No

it's not OK.

I should've seen it.

What he was like.

I should have seen it... and
I should have protected you.

Ever get sick of pretending?

The way people are around here.

We just go along with it.

Like sheep.

Like sheep.

Like how I did with Tom.

I saw the look on your face.

I knew what you thought of me.

I don't want to be that person.

I don't want to be that person.

The night she died.

Neve said to me that she
didn't want to be stuck.

Neve said to me that she
didn't want to be stuck

in the same place with
the same people for ever.

She wanted to get
out, see the world.

She wanted to get
out, see the world.

Figure stuff out.

I think I might need that too.

Where would you go?

I don't know. Anywhere.

I don't know. Anywhere.

Wh... When?

There's no point delaying it.

What about me?

We're not fucking married.

Come with me.

Nah, nah. You'd do
my fucking head in.

How'd you know it's gonna be
better somewhere else, hm?

I don't.

I don't.

But at least I'd be trying.

You're really serious?

Yeah.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you.

Yeah, I'll miss you, too, mate.

I don't know if you're here.

I am.

I am.

I'm right beside you. I'm
not sure I want you to be.

I'm scared that you're trapped.

Like you were when you
were alive. Because...

Because I'm still not
strong enough to let you go.

Because I'm still not
strong enough to let you go.

It's OK, Mum.

Neve?

Neve?

Are you there?

Blow it out.

I need you to tell
me what you want.

And I... I promise
to listen his time.

And I... I promise
to listen his time.

I just want you to live your
life. Do you want to say goodbye?

Blow it out again if you do.

Blow it out again if you do.

You don't have to hold
on any more, sweetheart.

You can be free.

Nothing's gonna happen.

You can't go anywhere
if I don't let go.

You know, I think... I still
needed to work some things out.

That's why I was trapped here.

That's why I was trapped here.

But it's done now.

You deserve to be free as well.

You deserve to be free as well.

You did your time.

I'm free when I'm with you.

Just... whatever happens...

Just... whatever happens

promise me you're...
you're going to live.

Promise me you're...
you're going to live.

Really live.

You know, get out of this
place. Do something amazing.

OK. I'm gonna put a stop
on goodbye speeches.

OK. I'm gonna put a
stop on goodbye speeches

because you're not
going anywhere.

And I will continue to live
an entirely mediocre life.

And I will continue to live
an entirely mediocre life

and I will live it with you.

See? You're still here.

See? You're still here.

Joe?

Joe?

I'm gonna head down
to the station.

If they don't charge him today,
they'll have to release him.

Where you going?

Where you going?

I'm leaving, Dad.

I'm leaving, Dad.

Don't be daft.

I'm being serious.

I can't be here any more.

I can't be here any more.

Why?

It's not what it was.

Not since Neve.

Not since Neve.

Is this about Tom?

I know you feel bad, but
grief does funny things.

You're still a good lad. There's
no such thing round here.

Especially not in this family.

Especially not in this family.

What's that supposed to mean?

Hey.

Your uncle never touched Neve.

Your uncle never touched Neve.

How can you defend him,
the way he treats you?

Look what he's done for us.

He bought the Hall
so we could do it up,

He bought the Hall
so we could do it up,

so we could work
on it as a family.

He uses you for lab
our and barks orders.

That... That is not his fault.
That's how we were brought up.

By Grandad who was kicking the
shit out of the pair of you.

By Grandad who was kicking the
shit out of the pair of you.

Where is all this coming
from? Can't you see it?

It's history repeating itself.

It's history repeating itself.

I'm sorry, but it's true.

I don't want to
turn out like that.

I don't want to
turn out like that.

So you're just gonna
leave me on my own?

You can visit me,
whenever you want.

You can visit me,
whenever you want.

It's not like I'm never
gonna see you again.

But I have to do this and
I need you to understand.

Wouldn't have been able
to do this a few days ago.

Wouldn't have been able
to do this a few days ago.

My hands would've been
all over the shop.

It really is
different this time.

What happened to Neve...

I'm sorry that's
what it took, but.

I'm not wasting any
more of my life.

Good.

Don't go back to Daniel. Tom.

I know I don't deserve you.

But I never did... and
you still loved me anyway.

But I never did... and
you still loved me anyway.

It's still there, isn't it?

I'll always love you.

I'll always love you.

We can't undo what happened.

We're not those people any more.

I don't want to be those people.

I want to be better.

And I... I can be better -
WILL be better - for you.

And I... I can be better -
WILL be better - for you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's the police station.

It's the police station.

How could you just let him go?!

The CPS didn't feel there was
a strong enough case to charge.

I'm sorry. The investigation
is still ongoing.

I'm sorry. The investigation
is still ongoing.

And in the meantime,
he's just out there?

Free to hurt someone else?

I saw him at the party
with Neve. I told you.

No-one else would corroborate that.
Even if they did, it's not enough.

No-one else would corroborate that.
Even if they did, it's not enough.

So, when you searched his
house, you didn't find anything?

And at the hotel?
What about forensics?

What about the belt?! What belt?

We've never released any
information about a belt.

They let me go. Right? What
more proof do you need?

They let me go. Right? What
more proof do you need?

That just proves they don't have
enough evidence to charge you yet.

Oh, come on. You made
our daughter tell a lie

that put her in a
juvenile detention centre.

That put her in a
juvenile detention centre.

Our daughter! Christine,
she killed someone.

Oh! It's like I'm getting my
sight back after 20 years.

You're a fucking disgrace!

You're a fucking disgrace!

Please, Chris. Chris
- Did you kill Neve?!

No. You're a liar,

and I want you
out of this house.

And I want you
out of this house.

I'm packing you a bag.

Dad.

Police had to let me
go. Lack of evidence.

You were wrong.

You were wrong.

If the police will never give me
justice, I have to get it myself.

If the police will never give me
justice, I have to get it myself.

What does that
mean? I don't know.

That sound.

OK, I'm listening.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

Come on.

Come on!

Come on!

Neve!

Neve!

I'm here.

Neve!

Neve!

Show me.

Bye, Neve.
