It's seven years earlier and the last day of Victoria Sand's life.
The following program me
contains strong language.
We found traces of blood
in Room 7 of Keaton Hall.
Is it Neve's blood? No comment.
It's about your ex-wife. What did you think
had happened, when Victoria went missing?
It's about your ex-wife. What did you think
had happened, when Victoria went missing?
She walked out on us. She
struggled... being a mum.
What did she say?
Nothing important.
What did she say?
Nothing important.
Where did you stay? Tom's.
'I need you to be straight with
me cos I've been here before.
I can't see the kids
go through that again.'
I can't see the kids
go through that again.'
'Something's happening, Dad.
I've started disappearing.'
What will happen if you bury me?
The GHB's screwed up my memory.
I don't think it's the drugs.
Maybe you were right - about
facing what's happened.
'How could you just let him go?'
'How could you just let him go?'
CPS didn't feel there was a
strong enough case to charge.
What about forensics?
What about the belt?!
What belt? We've never released
any information about a belt.
What belt? We've never released
any information about a belt.
The police will never
give me justice.
I have to get it myself. Oh!
That sound.
Neve!
Neve!
Neve!
Victoria.
Are you all right, babe? Mm.
Sorry.
I'm still half asleep.
You're up early.
I'm still half asleep.
You're up early.
Bloody cockerel don't know
it's Saturday, does he?
Earplugs, I keep
telling you. Mm.
I should get in the shower.
I should join you.
There's no better days
until I'm scared of day
until I'm scared of day.
You're in a good mood.
I guess the new
pills are working.
Sorry, I... I didn't mean to...
I know.
They are, though. I haven't
felt this good in years.
They are, though. I haven't
felt this good in years.
Kind of feels like
I'm waking up.
We should get away sometime.
We should get away sometime.
You know, a weekend
somewhere, just the two of us.
Yeah. Yeah, when work
calms down a bit.
I've been thinking... I know!
I've been thinking... I know!
It's been a while since
we talked about it, but
maybe it's time to
start trying again.
Maybe it's time to
start trying again.
I knew you were broody.
Oh... you know, we
always wanted three.
I know you've got a lot on.
But maybe after that.
God, I should get going.
God, I should get going.
I might have to work late
tonight. You're joking.
I know, I know. I said I'd
show the Wyatts the Hall
and it's the only day both
William and Michael could manage.
And it's the only day both
William and Michael could manage.
Mum! Uh...

Why is he taking so long?
He's coming now.
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
Happy birthday! Bloody hell!
Aw.
Hey!
Happy birthday, Dan. Eugh!
Open this.
You really thought I'd
forgotten, didn't you?
No.
Put it in the fridge
when you get back,
and here's your change.
And here's your change.
All right? Sorry.
What were you saying?
Here you go, love. Thanks.
Victoria, I'm so sorry.
Victoria, I'm so sorry.
I know I was supposed to
drop it off last night.
Daniel must be thinking
you've not got him anything.
It's fine. Thanks for bringing
it. My fault. End-of-year drinks.
It's fine. Thanks for bringing
it. My fault. End-of-year drinks.
Lost track of time.
Can I uh...? Yeah, of course.
It was this one
Dan liked, right?
It was this one
Dan liked, right?
He couldn't take his eyes
off it at your showing.
It's a favourite of mine, too.
Vic. Forgot something? Oh...
Can you even walk
in a straight line?
Cheers. I'm an idiot.
Cheers. I'm an idiot.
She letting you
come to the party?
I promised I'll be
on my best behaviour.
I'm already in the shit with Dan for
leaving him with the kids all day.
I'm already in the shit with Dan for
leaving him with the kids all day.
Wooh. Bad Parents' Club.
We're due our AGM soon.
Haven't had a messy
night in far too long.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
So this is everything I could dig
up from the council on the Hall.
Erm, blueprints,
planning permits.
Erm, blueprints,
planning permits.
It'll take a while to sort
through. Ah, there's no rush.
Thanks for that.
Me and Michael used to muck
about in here when we were kids.
Me and Michael used to muck
about in here when we were kids.
It's weird to think
we're gonna own it.
I came here once and your dad
chased me off with a garden hose.
I came here once and your dad
chased me off with a garden hose.
Oh, yeah, sounds about right.
Look at us, eh? Hotshot
architect, future hotelier...
Lord of the Manor.
Lord of the Manor.
OK, so...
Michael can't make it.
Michael can't make it.
Something's come up.
Right...
I am really sorry.
It doesn't matter. I've got tons
of party stuff to sort out, anyway.
OK.
Oh. Oh, my God.
You're a lifesaver.
No worries. I'm sorry
about earlier, by the way,
No worries. I'm sorry
about earlier, by the way,
standing you up at the
Hall. You're forgiven.
Ah. I got caught up on a job. It
was one of those days, you know.
We're running out of wine glasses.
There's some plastic ones. Drink?
We're running out of wine glasses.
There's some plastic ones. Drink?
Uh, I'll sort myself.
Here. Hey, sweetheart.
Here. Hey, sweetheart.
What's triggered it this
time? Mum, it's nothing.
It might help to talk
about it. Just... leave it.
Thank you.
Babe? Could you hand
these out for me?
Of course.
Had enough of us already?
I saw you sneaking out.
Had enough of us already?
I saw you sneaking out.
Busted.
Hey, do you want a real drink?
No, no. I'm on the orange juice.
Come on. Hair of the dog, mate.
No chance. Here.
No, seriously! Move your hand.
No, seriously! Move your hand.
So, this is where the real party
is? It's where the real booze is.
No, no.
I'm getting flashbacks.
I'm getting flashbacks.
Us four behind the
old petrol station.
Look how far we've come,
eh? Where's your stick?
I've got my last operation
next week, thank God.
I've got my last operation
next week, thank God.
Yeah, that's right. He's bought
himself a new bike to celebrate.
Seriously? You nearly
killed yourself.
You've got to get back on the
horse. You're off your head.
You've got to get back on the
horse. You're off your head.
Can't rely on Tom to pull you
out of the wreckage every time.
I will find a way to
pay you back. I owe you.
Mum! Mum, Mum! Look!
Mum! Mum, Mum! Look!
We're making a video for Dan.
Nice little private
party, is it?
Happy birthday, babe.
Actually, I'm... not quite
sure if it's recording, Max.
You made me look a right idiot.
I was busy. Couldn't get away.
You were drunk or hung-over.
Or both. I've had it with this.
You were drunk or hung-over.
Or both. I've had it with this.
We're going into business and
you haven't signed any paperwork.
Ah, piss off. I can't
do this with you.
Not with the state
you're in. Chill out.
You're overreacting. I'm
buying the hotel on my own.
Oh, is this her? She
been poisoning you?
Oh, is this her? She
been poisoning you?
She doesn't have to. Just
look at you. You're a mess.
You need to get your shit together
cos I'm not carrying you any more.
You need to get your shit together
cos I'm not carrying you any more.
William, let's just calm down. It's
none of your bleedin' business!
Let's just go.
You can't leave me out of this!
Hey, you OK?
Oh... all right. I didn't
mean to cause a scene.
Oh... all right. I didn't
mean to cause a scene.
Party needed livening up.
William wasn't serious.
He'll change his mind.
William wasn't serious.
He'll change his mind.
He just likes to put me
in my place, that's all.
Don't worry about it.
You just need a strong coffee
and a good night's sleep.
You just need a strong coffee
and a good night's sleep.
You know, you've
always been good to me.
You know, you've
always been good to me.
Have you thought about, you
know, getting back out there?
It's not good for
you to be on you own.
It's not good for
you to be on you own.
I've had my moments.
Denise is a tough act
to follow, you know.
Of course.
Of course.
Eh, we had our moments as well,
though, didn't we, back in the day?
Cheap cider's got a
lot to answer for.
Come here.
Come here.
Wait. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, shit.
Sorry, I just thought um...
Yeah. Don't worry about it.
Everything OK? Yeah.
Vic?
Michael's still grieving.
I was just listening.
It's not him I'm worried about.
I'm fine. You're not, though.
I'm fine. You're not, though.
I know the signs.
We should get back -
All I want from you
is to understand
what's going on.
Is to understand
what's going on.
I am better, you know.
I am better, you know.
I'm not as good as I
could be, but I am better.
And having another child.
I can't go through it again.
You know how it affected me
after Katie and then Max.
And I know we always talked
about it when I was ready
and I know that you meant
well this morning, but...
I just can't do it again.
I just can't do it again.
It's OK. I don't want
any more children.
Why didn't you just
tell me? It's fine.
We've got two beautiful kids.
I don't need anything else.
We've got two beautiful kids.
I don't need anything else.
I just want you to get help.
I don't want that, Dan.
I don't want you to always
be trying to help me.
I don't want you to always
be trying to help me.
And I know I've been struggling
and I know it's been hard for you.
But I just need you
to give me some space
so I can... find my way through
this, on my own, in my own time.
So I can... find my way through
this, on my own, in my own time.
I just want you to be well.
I've left your
present in the car.
I've left your
present in the car.
Shit!
The Hall.
The Hall.
You run out of beer, or are
you just making a break for it?
Stop it!
What are you?
Victoria.
What happened to you, Victoria?
Everyone said that
you just walked out.
Everyone said that
you just walked out.
I couldn't understand why
someone would do that.
But all that time, you...
But all that time, you...
That sound.
The scratching. It...
That's your body.
That's your body.
It was you.
Neve.
Neve.
You're Neve.
Is this real?
Is this real?
Are you here? Yes.
I could feel you. Ever
since you came back.
I could feel you. Ever
since you came back.
I tried reaching
out, but I didn't...
Do you know who did this?
Do you know why we're here?
I didn't understand
before... what you were...
I didn't understand
before... what you were
why we were connected,
but now I think I do.
Why we were connected,
but now I think I do.
What am I?
We're the same.
Who did it?
Who killed us?
Who killed us?
I know it sounds crazy.
I know I sound crazy,
but Neve was here.
I know I sound crazy,
but Neve was here.
Tom, sit down.
We've examined your computer.
We've examined your computer.
You logged into Neve's social
media accounts after her death.
I'd like to know
why. That was Neve.
It should be William
sat here, not me.
Tell me about your
relationship with William.
Tell me about your
relationship with William.
We're just friends.
More than that.
Didn't you save his
life back in the day?
I helped him after
his bike crash.
I helped him after
his bike crash.
I called an
ambulance. That's all.
I'd be pretty
grateful if I was him.
Tom, are you colluding
with William Wyatt?
Is he covering for you?
Are you covering for him?
What?! No. Tell me
about Victoria Sands.
What about her?
We were mates. We all
were. It's a small town.
Was William mates with her, too?
Not really. You know how he
throws his weight around.
So she didn't respond well to
that? Why don't you ask him?
Hang on.
Are you thinking Victoria was
I need you to tell me the truth.
How did you know about the belt?
I need you to tell me the truth.
How did you know about the belt?
I've already told you -
Have you, though, Tom?
It doesn't matter what I say...
It doesn't matter what I say
cos I failed her.
And now she's gone.
And now she's gone.
Are you releasing him?
Not at this stage.
He had nothing to do with
it. You don't understand.
There's a reason he knows
what happened to Neve.
There's a reason he knows
what happened to Neve.
I know what he's told you.
Tom's innocent. You know he is.
William Wyatt is free. Are you
gonna let him get away with it?
William Wyatt is free. Are you
gonna let him get away with it?
We're not closing any lines of
enquiry. But Tom can't go anywhere.
Not until we have some answers.
You're wasting time.
You're wasting time.
You need to let us do our jobs.
Tom's... ghost stories
aren't helping anyone.
Tom's... ghost stories
aren't helping anyone.
Go home, Maria.
I let myself in.
Sorry. I should have texted.
Sorry. I should have texted.
I heard about Tom.
He didn't do it.
I know. You see someone at
their worst enough times,
you get to see who
they really are.
You get to see who
they really are.
There's no way Tom
would hurt Neve.
Is that why you're here?
Is that why you're here?
Nowhere else to go? No.
It's just a coincidence, then?
It doesn't work out with
Tom, so you come back to us?
It doesn't work out with
Tom, so you come back to us?
No, of course not.
It was never like
that for me, with Tom.
I just thought
that's what I needed
to feel closer to Neve.
But I was all wrong.
You can't do this.
You can't just come and go
whenever you feel like it.
It's not fair on the kids.
It's not fair on the kids.
It's not fair on
me. I know that.
You're grieving too, and I shouldn't
have shut you out. I'm sorry.
But I don't need you
to rescue me or fix me.
But I don't need you
to rescue me or fix me.
That's not what I need from you.
I know you meant well, but it
just makes me feel suffocated.
I know you meant well, but it
just makes me feel suffocated.
I don't know.
I just need to know
I can trust you.
I need to know you want this
to work as much as I do.
I need to know you want this
to work as much as I do.
I want to come home.
Grief isn't something
that either of us can fix.
Grief isn't something
that either of us can fix.
It'll never go away.
All we can do is learn how
to live with it... together.
All we can do is learn how
to live with it... together.
Are you sure you don't
remember anything?
I hoped you would.
I hoped you would.
I've shown you
everything I could.
After that... I can't
make sense of it.
It's all just...
darkness and pain.
I remember waking up down here.
He must've thought
I was already dead.
And I tried to pull
myself upstairs.
I was so weak.
I don't know what I've become.
I started to fade.
I couldn't control it.
Same thing happened to me.
It was like... I
was losing control.
It was like... I
was losing control.
Everything else was
fading away, too.
Everything else was
fading away, too.
After a while, I just
forgot where I was.
I forgot my children.
I forgot my children.
Then I felt you,
and I started to remember again.
And I started to remember again.
Never who killed you?
Maybe Alex was right.
Maybe Alex was right.
What if it's not that
we can't remember?
What if it's... that
we don't want to?
What if it's... that
we don't want to?
Why would we do that?
Because we're afraid.
It's been a lot to
deal with, you know.
You don't have to
worry about your dad.
He's gone.
He's never coming
back here. Good.
Officers found
blood at the hotel.

blood at the hotel.
It's not Neve's.
It's older.
They're still doing tests.
They're still doing tests.
The hotel?
Oh, I never understood why he
was so obsessed with that place.
Oh, I never understood why he
was so obsessed with that place.
It's been nothing but trouble.
I have to go.
I have to go.
It's OK, Mum.
'You're gonna have to grow
up someday soon, Will.'
Feels like a lifetime ago.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
It was your dad's
birthday, wasn't it?
What's this?
Oh, I took a box of old
photos out from the attic.
Oh, I took a box of old
photos out from the attic.
I thought it might be nice to
look through them together.
We found a hard drive with
a bunch of videos, too.
We found a hard drive with
a bunch of videos, too.
'Mum. Look.' I
remember that day.
'Happy birthday, babe.' It
was the last time we saw her.
'Happy birthday, babe.' It
was the last time we saw her.
I'm sorry, Katie.
I should never have
said what I did.
I should never have
said what I did.
It's OK. It's not OK.
I should have been here.
And the last thing I should have
done was take things out on you.
And the last thing I should have
done was take things out on you.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere.
I can't keep losing
people. I just can't do it.
Come here.
I know I'm not your mum.
But we are family, aren't we?
Yeah. Come on.
Yeah. Come on.
Let's have a look
through everything.
Look. It's you and Mum.
Oh, yeah. Dad's birthday.
What's this?
What's this?
Oh, my God.
It's when you started
getting into photography.
Everything was always
a really weird angle.
I'm better now. Now you
just blame your camera.
I'm better now. Now you
just blame your camera.
It IS broken. I was
wondering what happened.
Look...
Just started playing up.
Photos kept coming out weird.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
William. I'd like
to have a word.
William. I'd like
to have a word.
I've said everything
I want to say to you.
Either arrest me or
get off my property.
It's a simple question. I
thought you had Tom Rees.
Why you sniffing
around me again?
Just trying to build
up a complete picture.
If you'd be more comfortable
talking down the station...
If you'd be more comfortable
talking down the station...
This conversation is over.
What about Victoria Sands?
What about Victoria Sands?
What about her? You were
friends. Is that right?
What's that got to do with
Neve? Did Victoria bother you?
What's that got to do with
Neve? Did Victoria bother you?
She was a successful
woman, wasn't she?
She think a bit too
much of herself, too?
She think a bit too
much of herself, too?
You want to talk to me
again... you call my lawyer.
You want to talk to me
again... you call my lawyer.
Oh, William...
Tom Reese says he saw
Neve after she died.
Tom Reese says he saw
Neve after she died.
Said Neve spoke to
him, told him things.
Tom Rees is a drunk.
He said you could see her, too.
Maria. Hi.
So, what am I looking at here?
These marks.
Max has been taking
lots of photos recently.
Max has been taking
lots of photos recently.
It's his way of
dealing with things.
All these. Max took them when he
thought he could sense a presence.
All these. Max took them when he
thought he could sense a presence.
Has Tom been talking to Max,
too? No, you don't understand.
I do. Grief plays
tricks on us...
I do. Grief plays tricks on us
makes us see people we've lost in
the middle of a crowd, on a bus.
Sounds like Tom's been
taking advantage of that.
He's telling the truth.
He's telling the truth.
And this is the closest thing
I've got to actual proof.
They're Neve.
They're all Neve.
They're all Neve.
All I can see are smudges on photos.
I know it's a stretch. I know that.
I'm just asking you to open
your mind for a minute.
I'm just asking you to open
your mind for a minute.
I'm really sorry, Maria,
but I feel that Tom's
manipulating you.
Alex Wyatt.
Alex Wyatt.
She can see Neve and she
didn't even know her before.
Call Alex. She'll
tell you the truth.
Neve?
Neve?
Are you here?
I've been out there
chasing shadows.
Because I couldn't face it.
Because I couldn't face it.
If you don't, you'll
end up like me - lost.
Don't you want to
know the truth?
Don't you want to
know the truth?
I don't think I can.
It's OK.
I can do it.
I'm stronger now.
I'm back in the woods.
That night.
That night.
What's there?
It's OK, Neve.
You won't be alone this time.
You won't be alone this time.
I'm scared.
I'm here with you.
I remember this. 'You think
you're better than me?'
No-one can ever be good enough for
you. You're a fucking head case.
No-one can ever be good enough for
you. You're a fucking head case.
'No, you don't get to
walk away from me.'
And don't think
this is over! Hey!
And don't think
this is over! Hey!
'You hear me?!'
Victoria?
It's all right, Neve. I'm here.
Dad?
Alex?
What you doing here?
Oh, love. I want the truth.
Look me in the eyes and tell me you
had nothing to do with Neve's death.
Look me in the eyes and tell me you
had nothing to do with Neve's death.
Oh, my God.
I never touched her.
I never touched her.
Never.
There's things
that I can't tell you. I just
that I can't tell you. I just...
I can't.
But I would never hurt Neve,
and I need you to believe that.
But you know who it was.
You do.
You do.
Alex, please, love,
don't. Tell me.
Shit.
Where am I?
Dad?
It's not.
You would never.
Neve was murdered.
Neve was murdered.
She was 19 years old and
she was choked to death.
Can you imagine what
that must be like,
Can you imagine what
that must be like,
how scared she must have been?
And then her body
was just dumped
just... thrown away
like she was nothing.
How would you feel
if that was me?
How would you feel
if that was me?
What are you doing out
here on your own, Neve?
Can I have a lift?
Yeah, of course. Get in.
You been at that party?
Here... You have to
be gentle with it.
Here... You have to
be gentle with it.
I've got it.
Where's Joe, anyway?
Have you two had a row or
something? We broke up.
Have you two had a row or
something? We broke up.
Sorry to hear that.
Here. Come on.
What are you doing? Calm
down. I'm just helping you.
I am calm. Get the fuck off
me. Hey, I wasn't touching you.
I am calm. Get the fuck off
me. Hey, I wasn't touching you.
You know what?
Forget it. I'll walk.
Let me out. Not when
you're being like this.
Open the door. Sit
back and shut up.
Open the door. Sit
back and shut up
and show some fucking gratitude!
If you don't open the door...
If you don't open the door...
You'll do what?
Wow!
I see where Joe gets his issues.
What's that supposed to mean?
What's that supposed to mean?
Come on.
Just look at yourself.
You're a fucking psycho.
Wait. Hey!
Come here!
Hey!
Alex...
Alex
you need to go.
What's this?
What have you told her?
Sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.
What are you doing
here? Did you follow me?
Back at the house
it was like old
times, weren't it?
Me and you.
Me and you.
It's always been... me
and you, hasn't it, Vic?
You're joking, aren't you?
Go home, Michael. You're drunk.
Go home, Michael. You're drunk.
I was never good
enough for you, was I?
I was never good
enough for you, was I?
Jesus, we had a drunken
fumble in high school
and you've followed me around
like a puppy ever since.
And I try and be nice - I'm
always trying to be fucking nice.
And I try and be nice - I'm
always trying to be fucking nice
cos no-one says what they really
think around here, do they?
What do you really think of me?
What do you really think of me?
Get out of my way.
You answer me.
You answer me.
Get away from me!
You think you're better than us!
Better than Joseph! You always have!
Better than you,
that's for sure!
Better than you,
that's for sure!
You think you can just hit
me and get away with it? Nah.
Fuck that. Everyone's
gonna hear about this.
Everyone's gonna know
what you are. You...
I feel sorry for you.
I feel sorry for you.
'Neve.
Neve.'
Neve.
Neve.
Neve.
Come back.
Neve. Neve, open your eyes!
I saw him.
It was Michael.
It was Michael.
Michael killed us.
He can't get away with this.
contains strong language.
We found traces of blood
in Room 7 of Keaton Hall.
Is it Neve's blood? No comment.
It's about your ex-wife. What did you think
had happened, when Victoria went missing?
It's about your ex-wife. What did you think
had happened, when Victoria went missing?
She walked out on us. She
struggled... being a mum.
What did she say?
Nothing important.
What did she say?
Nothing important.
Where did you stay? Tom's.
'I need you to be straight with
me cos I've been here before.
I can't see the kids
go through that again.'
I can't see the kids
go through that again.'
'Something's happening, Dad.
I've started disappearing.'
What will happen if you bury me?
The GHB's screwed up my memory.
I don't think it's the drugs.
Maybe you were right - about
facing what's happened.
'How could you just let him go?'
'How could you just let him go?'
CPS didn't feel there was a
strong enough case to charge.
What about forensics?
What about the belt?!
What belt? We've never released
any information about a belt.
What belt? We've never released
any information about a belt.
The police will never
give me justice.
I have to get it myself. Oh!
That sound.
Neve!
Neve!
Neve!
Victoria.
Are you all right, babe? Mm.
Sorry.
I'm still half asleep.
You're up early.
I'm still half asleep.
You're up early.
Bloody cockerel don't know
it's Saturday, does he?
Earplugs, I keep
telling you. Mm.
I should get in the shower.
I should join you.
There's no better days
until I'm scared of day
until I'm scared of day.
You're in a good mood.
I guess the new
pills are working.
Sorry, I... I didn't mean to...
I know.
They are, though. I haven't
felt this good in years.
They are, though. I haven't
felt this good in years.
Kind of feels like
I'm waking up.
We should get away sometime.
We should get away sometime.
You know, a weekend
somewhere, just the two of us.
Yeah. Yeah, when work
calms down a bit.
I've been thinking... I know!
I've been thinking... I know!
It's been a while since
we talked about it, but
maybe it's time to
start trying again.
Maybe it's time to
start trying again.
I knew you were broody.
Oh... you know, we
always wanted three.
I know you've got a lot on.
But maybe after that.
God, I should get going.
God, I should get going.
I might have to work late
tonight. You're joking.
I know, I know. I said I'd
show the Wyatts the Hall
and it's the only day both
William and Michael could manage.
And it's the only day both
William and Michael could manage.
Mum! Uh...
Mum!
Why is he taking so long?
He's coming now.
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
Sh, sh, sh, sh.
Happy birthday! Bloody hell!
Aw.
Hey!
Happy birthday, Dan. Eugh!
Open this.
You really thought I'd
forgotten, didn't you?
No.
Put it in the fridge
when you get back,
and here's your change.
And here's your change.
All right? Sorry.
What were you saying?
Here you go, love. Thanks.
Victoria, I'm so sorry.
Victoria, I'm so sorry.
I know I was supposed to
drop it off last night.
Daniel must be thinking
you've not got him anything.
It's fine. Thanks for bringing
it. My fault. End-of-year drinks.
It's fine. Thanks for bringing
it. My fault. End-of-year drinks.
Lost track of time.
Can I uh...? Yeah, of course.
It was this one
Dan liked, right?
It was this one
Dan liked, right?
He couldn't take his eyes
off it at your showing.
It's a favourite of mine, too.
Vic. Forgot something? Oh...
Can you even walk
in a straight line?
Cheers. I'm an idiot.
Cheers. I'm an idiot.
She letting you
come to the party?
I promised I'll be
on my best behaviour.
I'm already in the shit with Dan for
leaving him with the kids all day.
I'm already in the shit with Dan for
leaving him with the kids all day.
Wooh. Bad Parents' Club.
We're due our AGM soon.
Haven't had a messy
night in far too long.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
So this is everything I could dig
up from the council on the Hall.
Erm, blueprints,
planning permits.
Erm, blueprints,
planning permits.
It'll take a while to sort
through. Ah, there's no rush.
Thanks for that.
Me and Michael used to muck
about in here when we were kids.
Me and Michael used to muck
about in here when we were kids.
It's weird to think
we're gonna own it.
I came here once and your dad
chased me off with a garden hose.
I came here once and your dad
chased me off with a garden hose.
Oh, yeah, sounds about right.
Look at us, eh? Hotshot
architect, future hotelier...
Lord of the Manor.
Lord of the Manor.
OK, so...
Michael can't make it.
Michael can't make it.
Something's come up.
Right...
I am really sorry.
It doesn't matter. I've got tons
of party stuff to sort out, anyway.
OK.
Oh. Oh, my God.
You're a lifesaver.
No worries. I'm sorry
about earlier, by the way,
No worries. I'm sorry
about earlier, by the way,
standing you up at the
Hall. You're forgiven.
Ah. I got caught up on a job. It
was one of those days, you know.
We're running out of wine glasses.
There's some plastic ones. Drink?
We're running out of wine glasses.
There's some plastic ones. Drink?
Uh, I'll sort myself.
Here. Hey, sweetheart.
Here. Hey, sweetheart.
What's triggered it this
time? Mum, it's nothing.
It might help to talk
about it. Just... leave it.
Thank you.
Babe? Could you hand
these out for me?
Of course.
Had enough of us already?
I saw you sneaking out.
Had enough of us already?
I saw you sneaking out.
Busted.
Hey, do you want a real drink?
No, no. I'm on the orange juice.
Come on. Hair of the dog, mate.
No chance. Here.
No, seriously! Move your hand.
No, seriously! Move your hand.
So, this is where the real party
is? It's where the real booze is.
No, no.
I'm getting flashbacks.
I'm getting flashbacks.
Us four behind the
old petrol station.
Look how far we've come,
eh? Where's your stick?
I've got my last operation
next week, thank God.
I've got my last operation
next week, thank God.
Yeah, that's right. He's bought
himself a new bike to celebrate.
Seriously? You nearly
killed yourself.
You've got to get back on the
horse. You're off your head.
You've got to get back on the
horse. You're off your head.
Can't rely on Tom to pull you
out of the wreckage every time.
I will find a way to
pay you back. I owe you.
Mum! Mum, Mum! Look!
Mum! Mum, Mum! Look!
We're making a video for Dan.
Nice little private
party, is it?
Happy birthday, babe.
Actually, I'm... not quite
sure if it's recording, Max.
You made me look a right idiot.
I was busy. Couldn't get away.
You were drunk or hung-over.
Or both. I've had it with this.
You were drunk or hung-over.
Or both. I've had it with this.
We're going into business and
you haven't signed any paperwork.
Ah, piss off. I can't
do this with you.
Not with the state
you're in. Chill out.
You're overreacting. I'm
buying the hotel on my own.
Oh, is this her? She
been poisoning you?
Oh, is this her? She
been poisoning you?
She doesn't have to. Just
look at you. You're a mess.
You need to get your shit together
cos I'm not carrying you any more.
You need to get your shit together
cos I'm not carrying you any more.
William, let's just calm down. It's
none of your bleedin' business!
Let's just go.
You can't leave me out of this!
Hey, you OK?
Oh... all right. I didn't
mean to cause a scene.
Oh... all right. I didn't
mean to cause a scene.
Party needed livening up.
William wasn't serious.
He'll change his mind.
William wasn't serious.
He'll change his mind.
He just likes to put me
in my place, that's all.
Don't worry about it.
You just need a strong coffee
and a good night's sleep.
You just need a strong coffee
and a good night's sleep.
You know, you've
always been good to me.
You know, you've
always been good to me.
Have you thought about, you
know, getting back out there?
It's not good for
you to be on you own.
It's not good for
you to be on you own.
I've had my moments.
Denise is a tough act
to follow, you know.
Of course.
Of course.
Eh, we had our moments as well,
though, didn't we, back in the day?
Cheap cider's got a
lot to answer for.
Come here.
Come here.
Wait. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait. Wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Oh, shit.
Sorry, I just thought um...
Yeah. Don't worry about it.
Everything OK? Yeah.
Vic?
Michael's still grieving.
I was just listening.
It's not him I'm worried about.
I'm fine. You're not, though.
I'm fine. You're not, though.
I know the signs.
We should get back -
All I want from you
is to understand
what's going on.
Is to understand
what's going on.
I am better, you know.
I am better, you know.
I'm not as good as I
could be, but I am better.
And having another child.
I can't go through it again.
You know how it affected me
after Katie and then Max.
And I know we always talked
about it when I was ready
and I know that you meant
well this morning, but...
I just can't do it again.
I just can't do it again.
It's OK. I don't want
any more children.
Why didn't you just
tell me? It's fine.
We've got two beautiful kids.
I don't need anything else.
We've got two beautiful kids.
I don't need anything else.
I just want you to get help.
I don't want that, Dan.
I don't want you to always
be trying to help me.
I don't want you to always
be trying to help me.
And I know I've been struggling
and I know it's been hard for you.
But I just need you
to give me some space
so I can... find my way through
this, on my own, in my own time.
So I can... find my way through
this, on my own, in my own time.
I just want you to be well.
I've left your
present in the car.
I've left your
present in the car.
Shit!
The Hall.
The Hall.
You run out of beer, or are
you just making a break for it?
Stop it!
What are you?
Victoria.
What happened to you, Victoria?
Everyone said that
you just walked out.
Everyone said that
you just walked out.
I couldn't understand why
someone would do that.
But all that time, you...
But all that time, you...
That sound.
The scratching. It...
That's your body.
That's your body.
It was you.
Neve.
Neve.
You're Neve.
Is this real?
Is this real?
Are you here? Yes.
I could feel you. Ever
since you came back.
I could feel you. Ever
since you came back.
I tried reaching
out, but I didn't...
Do you know who did this?
Do you know why we're here?
I didn't understand
before... what you were...
I didn't understand
before... what you were
why we were connected,
but now I think I do.
Why we were connected,
but now I think I do.
What am I?
We're the same.
Who did it?
Who killed us?
Who killed us?
I know it sounds crazy.
I know I sound crazy,
but Neve was here.
I know I sound crazy,
but Neve was here.
Tom, sit down.
We've examined your computer.
We've examined your computer.
You logged into Neve's social
media accounts after her death.
I'd like to know
why. That was Neve.
It should be William
sat here, not me.
Tell me about your
relationship with William.
Tell me about your
relationship with William.
We're just friends.
More than that.
Didn't you save his
life back in the day?
I helped him after
his bike crash.
I helped him after
his bike crash.
I called an
ambulance. That's all.
I'd be pretty
grateful if I was him.
Tom, are you colluding
with William Wyatt?
Is he covering for you?
Are you covering for him?
What?! No. Tell me
about Victoria Sands.
What about her?
We were mates. We all
were. It's a small town.
Was William mates with her, too?
Not really. You know how he
throws his weight around.
So she didn't respond well to
that? Why don't you ask him?
Hang on.
Are you thinking Victoria was
I need you to tell me the truth.
How did you know about the belt?
I need you to tell me the truth.
How did you know about the belt?
I've already told you -
Have you, though, Tom?
It doesn't matter what I say...
It doesn't matter what I say
cos I failed her.
And now she's gone.
And now she's gone.
Are you releasing him?
Not at this stage.
He had nothing to do with
it. You don't understand.
There's a reason he knows
what happened to Neve.
There's a reason he knows
what happened to Neve.
I know what he's told you.
Tom's innocent. You know he is.
William Wyatt is free. Are you
gonna let him get away with it?
William Wyatt is free. Are you
gonna let him get away with it?
We're not closing any lines of
enquiry. But Tom can't go anywhere.
Not until we have some answers.
You're wasting time.
You're wasting time.
You need to let us do our jobs.
Tom's... ghost stories
aren't helping anyone.
Tom's... ghost stories
aren't helping anyone.
Go home, Maria.
I let myself in.
Sorry. I should have texted.
Sorry. I should have texted.
I heard about Tom.
He didn't do it.
I know. You see someone at
their worst enough times,
you get to see who
they really are.
You get to see who
they really are.
There's no way Tom
would hurt Neve.
Is that why you're here?
Is that why you're here?
Nowhere else to go? No.
It's just a coincidence, then?
It doesn't work out with
Tom, so you come back to us?
It doesn't work out with
Tom, so you come back to us?
No, of course not.
It was never like
that for me, with Tom.
I just thought
that's what I needed
to feel closer to Neve.
But I was all wrong.
You can't do this.
You can't just come and go
whenever you feel like it.
It's not fair on the kids.
It's not fair on the kids.
It's not fair on
me. I know that.
You're grieving too, and I shouldn't
have shut you out. I'm sorry.
But I don't need you
to rescue me or fix me.
But I don't need you
to rescue me or fix me.
That's not what I need from you.
I know you meant well, but it
just makes me feel suffocated.
I know you meant well, but it
just makes me feel suffocated.
I don't know.
I just need to know
I can trust you.
I need to know you want this
to work as much as I do.
I need to know you want this
to work as much as I do.
I want to come home.
Grief isn't something
that either of us can fix.
Grief isn't something
that either of us can fix.
It'll never go away.
All we can do is learn how
to live with it... together.
All we can do is learn how
to live with it... together.
Are you sure you don't
remember anything?
I hoped you would.
I hoped you would.
I've shown you
everything I could.
After that... I can't
make sense of it.
It's all just...
darkness and pain.
I remember waking up down here.
He must've thought
I was already dead.
And I tried to pull
myself upstairs.
I was so weak.
I don't know what I've become.
I started to fade.
I couldn't control it.
Same thing happened to me.
It was like... I
was losing control.
It was like... I
was losing control.
Everything else was
fading away, too.
Everything else was
fading away, too.
After a while, I just
forgot where I was.
I forgot my children.
I forgot my children.
Then I felt you,
and I started to remember again.
And I started to remember again.
Never who killed you?
Maybe Alex was right.
Maybe Alex was right.
What if it's not that
we can't remember?
What if it's... that
we don't want to?
What if it's... that
we don't want to?
Why would we do that?
Because we're afraid.
It's been a lot to
deal with, you know.
You don't have to
worry about your dad.
He's gone.
He's never coming
back here. Good.
Officers found
blood at the hotel.
Officers found
blood at the hotel.
It's not Neve's.
It's older.
They're still doing tests.
They're still doing tests.
The hotel?
Oh, I never understood why he
was so obsessed with that place.
Oh, I never understood why he
was so obsessed with that place.
It's been nothing but trouble.
I have to go.
I have to go.
It's OK, Mum.
'You're gonna have to grow
up someday soon, Will.'
Feels like a lifetime ago.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
It was your dad's
birthday, wasn't it?
What's this?
Oh, I took a box of old
photos out from the attic.
Oh, I took a box of old
photos out from the attic.
I thought it might be nice to
look through them together.
We found a hard drive with
a bunch of videos, too.
We found a hard drive with
a bunch of videos, too.
'Mum. Look.' I
remember that day.
'Happy birthday, babe.' It
was the last time we saw her.
'Happy birthday, babe.' It
was the last time we saw her.
I'm sorry, Katie.
I should never have
said what I did.
I should never have
said what I did.
It's OK. It's not OK.
I should have been here.
And the last thing I should have
done was take things out on you.
And the last thing I should have
done was take things out on you.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere.
I can't keep losing
people. I just can't do it.
Come here.
I know I'm not your mum.
But we are family, aren't we?
Yeah. Come on.
Yeah. Come on.
Let's have a look
through everything.
Look. It's you and Mum.
Oh, yeah. Dad's birthday.
What's this?
What's this?
Oh, my God.
It's when you started
getting into photography.
Everything was always
a really weird angle.
I'm better now. Now you
just blame your camera.
I'm better now. Now you
just blame your camera.
It IS broken. I was
wondering what happened.
Look...
Just started playing up.
Photos kept coming out weird.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
William. I'd like
to have a word.
William. I'd like
to have a word.
I've said everything
I want to say to you.
Either arrest me or
get off my property.
It's a simple question. I
thought you had Tom Rees.
Why you sniffing
around me again?
Just trying to build
up a complete picture.
If you'd be more comfortable
talking down the station...
If you'd be more comfortable
talking down the station...
This conversation is over.
What about Victoria Sands?
What about Victoria Sands?
What about her? You were
friends. Is that right?
What's that got to do with
Neve? Did Victoria bother you?
What's that got to do with
Neve? Did Victoria bother you?
She was a successful
woman, wasn't she?
She think a bit too
much of herself, too?
She think a bit too
much of herself, too?
You want to talk to me
again... you call my lawyer.
You want to talk to me
again... you call my lawyer.
Oh, William...
Tom Reese says he saw
Neve after she died.
Tom Reese says he saw
Neve after she died.
Said Neve spoke to
him, told him things.
Tom Rees is a drunk.
He said you could see her, too.
Maria. Hi.
So, what am I looking at here?
These marks.
Max has been taking
lots of photos recently.
Max has been taking
lots of photos recently.
It's his way of
dealing with things.
All these. Max took them when he
thought he could sense a presence.
All these. Max took them when he
thought he could sense a presence.
Has Tom been talking to Max,
too? No, you don't understand.
I do. Grief plays
tricks on us...
I do. Grief plays tricks on us
makes us see people we've lost in
the middle of a crowd, on a bus.
Sounds like Tom's been
taking advantage of that.
He's telling the truth.
He's telling the truth.
And this is the closest thing
I've got to actual proof.
They're Neve.
They're all Neve.
They're all Neve.
All I can see are smudges on photos.
I know it's a stretch. I know that.
I'm just asking you to open
your mind for a minute.
I'm just asking you to open
your mind for a minute.
I'm really sorry, Maria,
but I feel that Tom's
manipulating you.
Alex Wyatt.
Alex Wyatt.
She can see Neve and she
didn't even know her before.
Call Alex. She'll
tell you the truth.
Neve?
Neve?
Are you here?
I've been out there
chasing shadows.
Because I couldn't face it.
Because I couldn't face it.
If you don't, you'll
end up like me - lost.
Don't you want to
know the truth?
Don't you want to
know the truth?
I don't think I can.
It's OK.
I can do it.
I'm stronger now.
I'm back in the woods.
That night.
That night.
What's there?
It's OK, Neve.
You won't be alone this time.
You won't be alone this time.
I'm scared.
I'm here with you.
I remember this. 'You think
you're better than me?'
No-one can ever be good enough for
you. You're a fucking head case.
No-one can ever be good enough for
you. You're a fucking head case.
'No, you don't get to
walk away from me.'
And don't think
this is over! Hey!
And don't think
this is over! Hey!
'You hear me?!'
Victoria?
It's all right, Neve. I'm here.
Dad?
Alex?
What you doing here?
Oh, love. I want the truth.
Look me in the eyes and tell me you
had nothing to do with Neve's death.
Look me in the eyes and tell me you
had nothing to do with Neve's death.
Oh, my God.
I never touched her.
I never touched her.
Never.
There's things
that I can't tell you. I just
that I can't tell you. I just...
I can't.
But I would never hurt Neve,
and I need you to believe that.
But you know who it was.
You do.
You do.
Alex, please, love,
don't. Tell me.
Shit.
Where am I?
Dad?
It's not.
You would never.
Neve was murdered.
Neve was murdered.
She was 19 years old and
she was choked to death.
Can you imagine what
that must be like,
Can you imagine what
that must be like,
how scared she must have been?
And then her body
was just dumped
just... thrown away
like she was nothing.
How would you feel
if that was me?
How would you feel
if that was me?
What are you doing out
here on your own, Neve?
Can I have a lift?
Yeah, of course. Get in.
You been at that party?
Here... You have to
be gentle with it.
Here... You have to
be gentle with it.
I've got it.
Where's Joe, anyway?
Have you two had a row or
something? We broke up.
Have you two had a row or
something? We broke up.
Sorry to hear that.
Here. Come on.
What are you doing? Calm
down. I'm just helping you.
I am calm. Get the fuck off
me. Hey, I wasn't touching you.
I am calm. Get the fuck off
me. Hey, I wasn't touching you.
You know what?
Forget it. I'll walk.
Let me out. Not when
you're being like this.
Open the door. Sit
back and shut up.
Open the door. Sit
back and shut up
and show some fucking gratitude!
If you don't open the door...
If you don't open the door...
You'll do what?
Wow!
I see where Joe gets his issues.
What's that supposed to mean?
What's that supposed to mean?
Come on.
Just look at yourself.
You're a fucking psycho.
Wait. Hey!
Come here!
Hey!
Alex...
Alex
you need to go.
What's this?
What have you told her?
Sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.
What are you doing
here? Did you follow me?
Back at the house
it was like old
times, weren't it?
Me and you.
Me and you.
It's always been... me
and you, hasn't it, Vic?
You're joking, aren't you?
Go home, Michael. You're drunk.
Go home, Michael. You're drunk.
I was never good
enough for you, was I?
I was never good
enough for you, was I?
Jesus, we had a drunken
fumble in high school
and you've followed me around
like a puppy ever since.
And I try and be nice - I'm
always trying to be fucking nice.
And I try and be nice - I'm
always trying to be fucking nice
cos no-one says what they really
think around here, do they?
What do you really think of me?
What do you really think of me?
Get out of my way.
You answer me.
You answer me.
Get away from me!
You think you're better than us!
Better than Joseph! You always have!
Better than you,
that's for sure!
Better than you,
that's for sure!
You think you can just hit
me and get away with it? Nah.
Fuck that. Everyone's
gonna hear about this.
Everyone's gonna know
what you are. You...
I feel sorry for you.
I feel sorry for you.
'Neve.
Neve.'
Neve.
Neve.
Neve.
Come back.
Neve. Neve, open your eyes!
I saw him.
It was Michael.
It was Michael.
Michael killed us.
He can't get away with this.
