FunTranscript
00:00And so that'll go when we pause the whole show to fit is that I've looked at
00:13I'm going to show you what I'm going to do now.
00:43Oh
01:04Ella Ella
01:06You think I'm lying? That I just made it up?
01:13Look, you're being ridiculous now
01:15It doesn't matter what we think
01:16It's what the police think though
01:18Come on, open the door
01:24There's a chance you're hearing may have deteriorated
01:26That's all
01:27Ella, come on, love, this is silly
01:29I'm telling the truth
01:30Look at it from their point of view
01:32The area was searched all around the gravel pits
01:35The area close to the mirror
01:37I don't care
01:38You think you heard whatever it was you heard
01:40But there was no sign of a body
01:41No one's even been reported missing
01:43Doesn't mean it didn't happen
01:45Look, unlock the door and let's talk about this
01:48It's just because I'm deaf
01:49You're just letting everyone out
01:50No
01:51Why then? Why would no one believe me?
02:03Ella?
02:05What?
02:09What did you hear?
02:11I'm sorry?
02:13It's okay
02:14Let's start again
02:15So I'm going to play you a series of sounds
02:17Same as before
02:18And I want you to press the button
02:19If you can hear them
02:20Okay?
02:22I can
02:23Starting with your right ear
02:25Go
02:26They call me bum ears at school
02:33Tick, tick, boom
02:36Because of my hearing aid
02:39They think I'm stupid
02:41Poor faces
02:42Dad told me to ignore them
02:45Eventually they would get bored
02:47And leave me alone
02:49But it's not as easy as that
02:52Sometimes it gets me
02:53And I can't help it
02:55I just explode
02:56Right
02:59Leave me alone
03:02Can't you hear me today?
03:03Leave me alone
03:03That's enough
03:07Ella, what do you think you're doing?
03:09She died in
03:10It was her
03:10She pushed me first
03:12Get back to class now
03:13Back to class now
03:14All of you back to class
03:16Great times are the worst
03:18When the teachers are not there
03:20And if you say anything
03:23To anyone
03:24Then they will only get to you afterwards
03:27So you learn to keep quiet
03:30Ella
03:33Are you okay?
03:36No
03:36I thought you were meant to be looking after me
03:39What happened?
03:42I had smashed them up before now
03:44You get so frustrated
03:46That you just want to get rid of them
03:49Bury them in the garden
03:50Or flush them down the toilet
03:52Because they will put on anything that is different
03:55Or out of the ordinary
03:56It's human nature
03:58Good, well done
04:03I think I've got something
04:13I've just put the probe
04:15And it's gone right up
04:154.20
04:164.30
04:18Let's get the curtain off
04:19Have a look inside
04:20Can you bring the ladder over please?
04:22Quickly
04:23Dad states
04:25It's ignorant
04:26That people are frightened
04:29What they've done instead
04:30It's alright for him though
04:32He didn't have to put up with it
04:34He's hearing
04:34Yeah
04:35There's a gap down the side
04:37I can see
04:37One
04:37Maybe two
04:39Hiding right at the back
04:40Hey, hey
04:42Stay where you are
04:43Stay there
04:44Stay there
04:45Where are you from?
04:48So when they start picking on you
04:49Calling you names
04:51You just want to get out of there
04:53Run as fast as you can
04:55Speak English
04:56I never wanted to move here
04:58It feel like the end of the world
05:00Like a nuclear explosion
05:03Wipe out everything from us
05:05Everything
05:06I step through the land of Bunderlow
05:08Wash up the other tide
05:10There's hours in the end
05:13Where the shambling fence
05:14Just stop me from running away
05:17Phone
05:25Witch
05:27Rat
05:29Jane
05:32Please
05:35Lice
05:37Alistair
05:39Listen
05:40I can't talk right now
05:41It's Ella
05:42What filter
05:43School just phones
05:44Disappeared again
05:45Shape
05:46We
05:49Hide
05:51If I take off my heel aid
06:00You would think they'd be knuckle
06:01No sound
06:02No sound
06:03Just emptiness
06:04Emptiness
06:05Space
06:06Space
06:08But it's not like that
06:10Somehow the brain feels a sound
06:13I have no idea what with
06:16Maybe it's the sound of my heart pumping
06:19Blood rushing through veins
06:21Breathing
06:23Maybe it's all of these things put together
06:26Feeling the void
06:28Spinning the void
06:30What are you doing?
06:31What are you doing?
06:32Get out!
06:33You scared me!
06:34Go on, get out of here!
06:35Why?
06:36I'm not hurting anyone
06:37It's dangerous
06:39You should be in school
06:40I had a headache
06:41I thought I could go home
06:43Then go!
06:44Doesn't look dangerous
06:45Doesn't look dangerous
06:46Concrete's crumbling
06:47How come you're allowed here now?
06:49Enough questions
06:50Do what you're told
06:51One more
06:52Then I'll go
06:53Promise
06:54What is this thing?
06:56A sound mirror
06:58I thought it was a sound mirror like this first
07:03Looks like it
07:05You're old
07:06Over a hundred years
07:08What is it for?
07:09Surveillance
07:11Before the first world war
07:13What like CGTV?
07:16Sort of
07:17Part of a
07:19An early warning system
07:21Against what?
07:22Enemy aircraft
07:24There used to be a whole line of them
07:26Dotted along the coast
07:28Huge great things
07:29Hundreds of feet tall
07:31What happened to them all?
07:33Eroded by time
07:35The salt air
07:37How do you go work?
07:38Look I haven't got time
07:40Me?
07:45Someone
07:46Sat down here
07:47Listening all the headphones
07:48To a microphone
07:49Positioned
07:50Up there
07:51There
07:52On the end of a pole
07:53Scanning the horizon
07:55Like a finish stone?
07:57Yes
07:58Just like a
08:00Periscope
08:01Listening of a sound?
08:03Round here
08:05We call it the listening ear
08:08Maybe they all stunk in the country
08:11Maybe
08:12I imagine they'd have heard
08:15All sorts
08:16The odd
08:17Motor car
08:18Back then
08:19Voices
08:20Even
08:22The birds
08:23What do they stand like?
08:25What?
08:26Heard
08:29You don't know?
08:30No
08:31They've been a rubbish outstire
08:32All you get is just the wind
08:34Like music
08:35Like music
08:36Like music
08:37What sort of me get?
08:38Probably not the sort you listen to
08:41It's
08:43Hard to describe
08:44They're all different
08:46Ghouls
08:47Guillemots
08:48Oyster catchers
08:49Oyster catchers
08:53What about these?
08:54Out there?
08:56Starlings
08:58Ah
08:59Now
09:00They're amazing creatures
09:02Beautiful too
09:03With
09:04Green and purple feathers
09:06They can take in sounds
09:09From their surroundings
09:10Their environment
09:11What do you mean?
09:13Anything
09:14From
09:15Car alarms
09:16To the human voice
09:17And incorporate it
09:19In their song
09:21Same rhythm
09:22Pitch
09:24How?
09:26No one
09:27Really knows
09:29It's like you learning another language
09:31Spanish
09:32French
09:33I can't speak French
09:34I can't hear the word properly
09:35It's a shame
09:39Well we get
09:40All sorts
09:41Landing off here
09:42From all over the world
09:44Africa
09:45Scandinavia
09:47Even had an albatross
09:48Once
09:50All the way from the southern oceans
09:52Huge
09:53Great thing
09:54What are you doing here?
09:56Lost
09:58Blown off course
10:00We got others too
10:02Magrants
10:03Palace
10:04Warbler
10:05Little orcs
10:07Wow
10:08Look at them
10:09They're all like
10:10To swim with bees
10:11A murmuration
10:12That's
10:13What it's called
10:14When they
10:15Swoop about
10:16Like that
10:17Why do they do it?
10:19Looking for somewhere
10:20To roost
10:21Where the hell have you been?
10:28Just walking
10:29Claire
10:30Everyone's been out looking for you
10:32Who was that?
10:33Who?
10:34That man you were with
10:35I don't know
10:36What do you mean?
10:37You don't know?
10:38You were talking to him
10:39No
10:40I didn't offer you no
10:41Right
10:42How many times have we told you about talking to strangers?
10:44He wasn't trying
10:45He looked like a tramp
10:46He could have been an axe murderer for all you know
10:49Switch those back on
10:50Hello
10:51I'm talking to you
10:52What?
10:53Mum always said I was different from other babies
10:56I started everywhere
10:58Definitely trying to work out what people were saying
11:02Grabbing her face all the time
11:04Pulling it around so that I could look rude
11:08And if I couldn't make myself understood
11:11Or get what I wanted
11:13I'd get proper angry
11:15How's this got broken again?
11:17I don't know
11:18I've got a bang in my back
11:19I haven't got time to keep running to the hospital every five minutes
11:22Why can't you look after your radio aids?
11:24What happened today?
11:25Tell me
11:26Same as always
11:27What have I said before?
11:30Sticks and stones
11:32There must be some nice girls in your class
11:34She's never there long enough to find out
11:36I don't understand what they're saying
11:37They talk too quickly
11:39Well then ask them to repeat themselves
11:41Explain
11:42They just say it don't amount
11:43Or I'll tell you later
11:44This isn't like you love
11:46I want to go home
11:47This is home now
11:48Yeah well you never asked me
11:50Where are you going?
11:51Who haven't thought?
11:52I haven't finished yet
11:53Oh leave her
11:54I swear she smashes them deliberately
11:57You don't know that
11:58Two in as many weeks
12:00She's not that clumsy
12:02The first time I heard water
12:18I thought it was a monster
12:20This loud groaning
12:22I was terrified
12:23Imagining some creature hiding somewhere
12:29Waiting to grab me
12:31Mum had to sleep in my room to stop me from getting nightmares
12:38Same as when she found out about Dad
12:41At first
12:42At first
12:43She said it was because he had a cold
12:46But I knew she was lying
12:48They thought I didn't know what was going on
12:53But I could hear them arguing
12:55Fearful vibration through the floorboards
12:58Whenever she smashed something
13:04It doesn't help you flying off the handle every five minutes
13:06She needs boundaries
13:08It's inevitable she's going to find it hard
13:10They all knew her at the last place
13:12Been with her since primary
13:13Start her off in the middle of year nine
13:14And what do you expect?
13:15She could at least make the effort
13:16You can see her point though
13:18She was fine before
13:19Oh
13:20Oh
13:21So I'm to blame
13:22Well it wasn't me who played away
13:23It takes two to break up a marriage Claire
13:25Oh
13:26Obviously
13:27You and the Tupperware Queen
13:28No that's not fair
13:29It was silicon utensils
13:30And she only sold them part time
13:32Like I care
13:33Anyway
13:34I thought we were supposed to be moving on
13:35You started it
13:36Where's the hair dryer?
13:37You're shouting
13:38Try one of the boxes in the spare room
13:40Are those dirty?
13:41What?
13:42You're shouting
13:44So are you
13:45Don't be cheeky
13:46If you give me that lot I'll do a wash
13:48What have you got in these pockets?
13:53Bevers
13:54Where did you find all these?
13:56Just around
13:57Well that one's pretty
13:59The blue
14:00Starling
14:01Go and get yourself dry
14:03And put your hearing aids on
14:13Good
14:14Okay
14:15We're gonna try the left ear now
14:16Same again
14:18Are they in water?
14:19Yeah
14:20Of course
14:28There you go
14:33How are things going at school?
14:36Fine
14:38Good
14:40Ready?
14:41It's like they can't be bothered
14:44Some of the teachers
14:46Just talk to the board
14:48Or stand with their backs to the windows
14:52And when you keep putting your hands up
14:54Because you can't see their lips
14:56They ignore you
14:58So you give up and just sit there getting bored
15:01The point is
15:02The point is
15:03At her last school
15:04She had teaching support
15:05And a teacher of the deaf
15:07So why can't she have the same here?
15:09As I say, it's not something we can provide
15:12Unless she has a statement
15:13Which she doesn't
15:14She's too bright
15:15She's her own worst enemy
15:16Besides, we've been down that road before
15:18It's a bloody nightmare to prove
15:20As far as they're concerned
15:22There's no educational need
15:23Our worry is that if she carries on like this
15:26She's gonna fall behind
15:28She's frustrated
15:29That's the root of it
15:30These ceilings don't help
15:31This whole bloody building is a nightmare
15:34As far as she's concerned
15:36Look, given the right support
15:37I understand what you're saying
15:39And I'm sorry I can't do more
15:43What?
15:44And that's it?
15:45It's the same for every deaf child in the area
15:48A postcode lottery
15:50We're very proud of the provision we make for our students
15:52With special needs
15:54In fact, some of our staff recently attended an insert
15:56Where they learnt to sign their own name
15:58Oh, well, that is terrific
16:01They can teach Ella then
16:02Because none of the deaf children we know
16:04Use sign language
16:06What, what?
16:07Don't smile
16:08Are you a parent in there too?
16:10Mum
16:11Don't see me dad anymore
16:13He's moved away
16:14Don't blame him either
16:15It's a shithole
16:16As soon as I'm 16 I'm off
16:18Where to?
16:19Africa
16:20Yeah, right
16:21Why?
16:22Why not?
16:23I could if I wanted
16:24Sure
16:26Could you keep a secret?
16:27What sort of secret?
16:28If I tell you
16:29You must promise not to tell anyone
16:32What?
16:33Promise
16:34Hang on
16:36What's the point of you having that?
16:39What do you mean?
16:40If you can't hear it properly
16:41Heck
16:43Shit, I gotta go
16:45Wait, what are you gonna say?
16:46I'll tell you later
16:48Ella?
16:49Ella?
16:50What did she say?
16:51Suggested we try room 12
16:53The disability room?
16:55Learning support
16:57No way, I'm not going there
16:58Why not?
16:59They smart you like you're some sort of retard
17:01Ella?
17:02It's true
17:03I might be deaf
17:04But I'm not an idiot
17:05They can help you sort out your batteries
17:07Also
17:08I don't care
17:09I'm not going
17:10Okay
17:11Fine
17:12Who've we got next then?
17:14Erm
17:15Geography
17:16Five minutes
17:17I won't bother
17:18Why?
17:19He got a beard
17:20So what?
17:21You've got something against beards now
17:23Can't reach his lip can I?
17:25No wonder you're behind
17:27He was saying you don't bother with your radio aid half the time
17:31Is that true?
17:32What?
17:33Mr. Clough
17:34He said you don't bother giving them your radio aid
17:36Everyone look at you like you're some sort of freak
17:39Can't you do it before anyone comes in and collect it after?
17:42And then they'll walk off with it
17:43And you're hitting them in the toilet
17:45Ignore them
17:46Who cares if they think it's uncool
17:48I tell you what's uncool
17:50Failing your exams
17:51Ending up on social
17:52I can't hear what you're saying
17:54It doesn't matter
17:55It bloody well does
17:56She can't afford to screw up
17:58Life's hard enough
17:59It's along here somewhere
18:01What is?
18:02The farm
18:03There
18:04Organic veg
18:05It'll be short now
18:06I know
18:07I'm just saying they do a box scheme
18:08Do our bit for the local economy
18:10Apparently they supply some of the supermarkets as well
18:12How do you know?
18:13Lad at work's related to them somehow
18:15A cousin I think
18:16Who isn't round here?
18:18Looks like quite a set up they've got anyway
18:20Ah, Leanne worked there weekend
18:22Who's Leanne?
18:23The girl who's been looking after her
18:25Or not
18:26In a stalking shed
18:28Is she nice?
18:29I don't see her much
18:30She's always up with her boyfriend
18:32Ah, looks like chucking out
18:34Looks like chucking out time
18:35Bit early isn't it?
18:38What's he doing?
18:39Who?
18:40In the front garden
18:42Oi!
18:44Oi!
18:45Get out of it you filthy bugger!
18:49Bloody cheek
18:50I bet that's why the Mahoney has had it
18:53Hey!
18:55Emma!
18:56Come on!
18:57You've got school tomorrow
18:58Do you know that?
18:59Yeah!
19:00Bloody hell
19:01No wonder
19:02That's odd
19:03What?
19:04A bundle of feathers on the doorstep
19:07Kids, probably
19:09Give them here, I'll bin them
19:10No, don't
19:11You don't
19:16How many fish fingers do you want?
19:18Oh
19:20Ella
19:21Ella
19:22Come away from the window
19:23I'm not hungry
19:24He was on the bus again this morning
19:26Got off near the farm
19:27Who?
19:28That bloke
19:29He gives me the creeps
19:30His father was ground
19:31How do you know?
19:32He told me
19:33At the beginning of the war
19:35They thought they were all spies
19:37Who were?
19:38He was intelligent
19:39Foreign aliens
19:41Elbows off the table
19:42I thought you said you didn't know his name?
19:44I don't
19:45You seem to know everything else about him
19:47They wound them all up one night
19:48And shipped them off to Canada
19:50Yeah, well, I'm sure they have the reasons
19:52It was a little time he shorted him
19:54He boat with torpedo
19:55Well
19:56I don't think he can have washed in days
19:58Someone is gonna get killed out there if they're not careful
20:07Well done
20:08You can take the headphones off now
20:09Okay?
20:10Fine
20:11Good
20:12So what I'd like you to do now
20:14Is listen to some words from the word list
20:16And then repeat them back to me
20:17Alright?
20:18Just do the best you can
20:19Okay
20:20Man
20:21Man
20:22Excellent
20:23Hip
20:24Hip

20:42You got me text then?
20:43What?
20:44I didn't think you'd come
20:45Oh, you've been so scared
20:46No, no, no, no
20:47You got me text then?
20:48What?
20:49I didn't think you'd come
20:50You got me text then?
20:51What?
20:52I didn't think you'd come
20:53Oh, you've been so scared?
20:54No
20:56Why would I not be?
20:57Good girl
20:58That's what we like
20:59You want some?
21:00What is it?
21:01The proper stuff
21:02Blows your head off
21:03Go on
21:04Who cries it?
21:05Who cares?
21:06Hey, you wanna keep away from him, you know?
21:08Who?
21:09Birdman
21:10Why?
21:11He's a nutter
21:12What do you mean?
21:13His mother were killed, murdered
21:14Yeah, years ago
21:15You reckon he did it?
21:16Hated over Edwin Hammond
21:17Somewhere out there on Mars
21:18How do you know?
21:19His skit sauce smashed the skull into pieces
21:21What?
21:22His common knowledge
21:23When you found him, he recovered in blood
21:25Wondering round like a zombie
21:26He dragged a body for miles, innit?
21:27I can't hear what you're saying
21:29Why?
21:30Are you deaf or something?
21:33Hey, what's that thing sound like?
21:34Get up!
21:35It won't work on you
21:37I can't hear you
21:38I'm a deaf-o
21:39I'm a divvy deaf-o
21:40Get her back
21:41Can't hear you, I'll speak up
21:43Give it to her
21:44Hey, I bet she like that
21:45Go on!
21:46Give it to her
21:47Hey, how about we have some fun
21:49Where are we going?
21:50Where are we going?
21:51Farm
21:52What are we going there for?
21:53It's late
21:54It's late
21:55Sod it
21:56It'll be a laugh
21:58You'll wake them all up
21:59That's the idea
22:00Come on!
22:01What will you get, you lazy bastards?
22:03Craig!
22:04Craig, please!
22:05Shut it!
22:07What are you doing?
22:09Math
22:10Teaching them a lesson
22:11Wait a minute
22:12Help!
22:13Hey!
22:14Come on!
22:15Get up then!
22:16Hey!
22:17Come on!
22:18Hey!
22:19Hey!
22:20Watch this and we're back with my tenancy
22:21Hey!
22:22Hey!
22:23Hey!
22:24Hey!
22:25Hey!
22:26Hey!
22:27Hey!
22:28Hey!
22:29Hey!
22:30Hey!
22:31Hey!
22:32Hey!
22:33Hey!
22:34Hey!
22:35Hey!
22:36Hey!
22:37Hey!
22:38Hey!
22:39Hey!
22:40Hey!
22:41Hey!
22:42What's wrong, babe?
22:43What did you do that for?
22:44Scum!
22:45Shouldn't be here, should he?
22:46Let's just get out of here
22:47I'm both in!
22:48I'm both in!
22:49I'm both in this bed!
22:50Open the window!
22:51Quick!
22:52Oh!
22:53For God's sake!
22:54She's not funny, that!
23:01Get out!
23:02Get out!
23:03Get off her!
23:04What are you doing?
23:05Stinks!
23:06You can't just leave her here
23:07Shut your mouth and I'll chuck you out as well
23:09It's milder
23:10I'll go!
23:11Get back in, I'm already!
23:12Get back in, Kat!
23:13Not without her, I'm not!
23:14You'll do as you told!
23:15I'm not!
23:16Get in, now!
23:17No!
23:18Get in, you stupid sack!
23:21Stay there!
23:24Wait!
23:25Stop!
23:26Hi!
23:27I'm not!
23:28I'm not!
23:29I'm not!
23:30She's coming!
23:31I'm not!
23:32Tsk!
23:33Tsk!
23:34Tsk!
23:35Additional barking
23:36They just told me one day that we were moving, I never wanted to leave, so when the moving
23:58thing came, I hid. They were covered in my room. I could hear them packing the boxes, rolling
24:07up the rug, taking down curtains, hooks snapping. I hear their voice too, shouting, searching
24:15everywhere, but they never found me. I sat there for hours in the dark, imagining everything.
24:28I.
24:30She.
24:32Yeah.
24:33Yeah.
24:35Yeah.
24:36Yeah.
24:38Fuck.
24:40Fuck.
24:42Ah!
24:44Ah!
24:49Ah!
24:51Ah!
24:52Fuck!
24:53Ah!
24:54Ah!
24:56Over here, look, I can see what they're cuddling.
25:15Over this way, Ella, Ella, it's Dad, Ella, are you in there?
25:22She's in here.
25:24Ella!
25:26Ella, wake up!
25:27She's out cold.
25:29I'm sorry, she's here.
25:31Can you hear me?
25:32Ella.
25:33She's deaf.
25:34She's lost both her hearing aids.
25:35I don't smell alcohol.
25:36Okay, please.
25:37It's all right, sweetie.
25:38It's all right.
25:39We're here now.
25:41Ella, 10, 34, 8.
25:43Right, let's get her in the van.
25:45One, two, three.
25:51Ella, it's all right.
25:53I'm sorry.
25:54I'm sorry.
25:55I'm sorry.
25:56I'm sorry.
25:57Come on.
25:58Get us going, start a line.
26:00Red-based priority.
26:01We're all here.
26:02She's going to be all right.
26:03She's going to be all right.
26:04We're all safe.
26:05We have an unresponsive teenage girl.
26:06It's all right.
26:07We're with you.
26:08I'm sorry.
26:09I'm sorry.
26:10I'm sorry.
26:11I'm sorry.
26:12I'm sorry.
26:13I'm sorry.
26:14I'm sorry.
26:15I'm sorry.
26:16I'm sorry.
26:17I'm sorry.
26:18I'm sorry.
26:19Well, what's going on?
26:20She's going to be all right, isn't she?
26:22I'm sorry.
26:23He's going to be all right.
26:24I'm sorry.
26:25I'm sorry.
26:26Good.
26:27I'm sorry.
26:28It says that the heat is over with us.
26:33I'm sorry.
26:34travellers.
26:35The Hemup segundo version is over.
26:36We are the time deeper.
26:37We're fit with the blackguard.
26:38It's all right.
26:39We're a one- stage for the other number of objects.
26:41Poe.
26:44Ratch.
26:46Ratch.
26:47God.
26:48Dodge.
26:50God.
26:52Moon.
26:54You see our problem, Ella?
26:57No.
26:58The problem we have is that, at this stage, no one's even been reported missing.
27:03We have no body, therefore, we can't...
27:06I'm not lying.
27:08Mistaken.
27:09Your problem is, you're not listening. None of you.
27:13Alright, then tell me again.
27:15Everything was spinning.
27:17When you got out the car.
27:18I thought they would come back.
27:20But they didn't.
27:21No.
27:22So I start walking.
27:23And it was still raining.
27:25I had no idea where I was going.
27:28Stumbling through rears.
27:30Up banks of pebbles.
27:33Then flying down the other side.
27:36My feet stinking into the shingle.
27:40Then I...
27:42Then suddenly I'd sweat.
27:44And hit something hard.
27:46The old railway line.
27:48My knees start bleeding.
27:51I carry on and follow the track till it came to them.
27:55In the middle of nowhere.
27:58My clothes were soaking.
28:01Freezing.
28:03I look around.
28:05I could just make out the shape of a sand mirror.
28:10I thought that at least I could get inside the bunker.
28:15It would be dry.
28:17I climbed down.
28:19And lay on a stone slab.
28:21At the foot of a dish.
28:24Closing my eyes.
28:26I was so tired.
28:30I could hear the rain outside drumming.
28:34And then?
28:35Someone crying.
28:37A person?
28:38Yeah.
28:39Definitely female?
28:40It was hard to tell.
28:43Could you describe the noise for me?
28:45Like she was beaten in pain.
28:47Are you sure it wasn't an animal?
28:49A fox?
28:50A dog perhaps?
28:51Wounded?
28:52I'm sure.
28:53And yet you'd lost both of your hearing aids.
28:59One in the car and one somewhere on the marsh.
29:03It's a strange place.
29:04The wind can play tricks.
29:05It wouldn't the wind.
29:07Could it have been a dream then?
29:08I told you it was real.
29:10You were suffering from hypothermia.
29:12I felt it.
29:13It's not uncommon to experience hallucinations.
29:16I did imagine it.
29:18Excuse me.
29:22Excuse me.
29:23I'm looking for Ward 9.
29:25Second on the right.
29:31Can I help you?
29:33I've come to see Ella.
29:35I heard what happened.
29:36She's asleep.
29:37Well, I don't mind waiting.
29:39She's very tired.
29:41Then perhaps I could call another time.
29:45I don't think so.
29:47I see.
29:49Look.
29:50I don't know who you are.
29:52Or what you want.
29:54But I don't want you seeing my daughter again.
29:56Is that clear?
29:58Perfectly.
30:02Alright.
30:03What did he want?
30:06Nothing.
30:08Well.
30:09Come on then.
30:10Are we going in or not?
30:22Hello love.
30:23How are you feeling?
30:25We bought you some more grapes.
30:26And I thought you might want some magazines as well.
30:29I'm afraid it was all that there was in the shop.
30:32I saw Leanne earlier.
30:33She was asking after you.
30:34If it weren't for her, we'd never have found you.
30:36What do you mean?
30:37She told us about the sound mirrors.
30:39I guessed you'd be there.
30:40We'd have been looking all night otherwise.
30:43What were you doing out there?
30:45They reckon you were out cold for up to an hour.
30:47I didn't imagine it.
30:48I heard no words.
30:49Why no one believed me?
30:51Half a bottle of vodka might have something to do.
30:54If I didn't wear this damn thing.
30:56Ella.
30:57You were knitting that wouldn't you?
30:58Now you're being silly.
30:59She's deaf.
31:00Ignore her.
31:01You know that's not true.
31:02I think she should rest now.
31:04She?
31:05She's a person.
31:06She had a name.
31:07They're stealing and everything.
31:09Thank you so much for watching.
31:10Bye bye.
31:11Stay damn, at times when I'd be there.
31:13I appreciate you enjoy this.
31:15Everyone is so sad.
31:16Bye bye.
31:18And see.
31:21Come.
31:23There's no way she could have heard anything without her aid.
31:46She seems so convinced.
31:48Well, the police have got a statement.
31:50They'll be in touch if they find anything.
31:51I don't know what to think.
31:54It's obvious what this is.
31:56What?
31:57Her way of getting attention.
31:59A bit extreme, don't you think?
32:01Well, let's face it, we've hardly had much time for her these past few months.
32:04Oh, and whose fault's that?
32:05Don't start.
32:07The whole point of moving here was to have more time as a family.
32:11I've got to put in the hours.
32:13Besides, I've not noticed you giving her much time.
32:15You're always decorating.
32:17Well, someone's got to.
32:18I am not living in the 1930s.
32:21What are you going to say to his father?
32:28Who's?
32:29Craig's.
32:29You are going to speak to him, presumably.
32:31Well?
32:32He dumped our daughter in the middle of nowhere.
32:35What difference is he going to make?
32:37He's not going to listen to me.
32:38Anything could have happened.
32:40Don't happen.
32:41If you don't say something, I bloody well will.
32:43Jacko!
32:50All right.
32:52How many?
32:55When?
32:57Sure.
32:59Yeah, bye.
33:01I've got to go.
33:02I don't believe this.
33:03Look, they've got six sailings due in.
33:05They're a man down.
33:06So, why can't they find someone else?
33:08I'll be as quick as I can.
33:09Well, you can at least help me carry this lot in first.
33:16That's weird.
33:16What?
33:18More feathers.
33:19Ella!
33:24Ella!
33:25Wait!
33:28I didn't think you'd be back so soon.
33:30Got bored.
33:31What did they say?
33:32What?
33:33The police.
33:35They're with everyone else.
33:36Forget about it.
33:37They're right.
33:38You should.
33:39What happened to your face?
33:41Nothing.
33:42I don't know why you go out with him.
33:44He's mental.
33:45Yeah, well, I'm not.
33:46Not anymore.
33:48How come?
33:49I told him we were finished.
33:50What did he say?
33:51Just laughed.
33:53Thought I was joking.
33:55I tried getting him to turn back, you know.
33:58Sure.
33:58I swear.
34:00Told him he was being a prat to stop the car.
34:04He didn't, though, didn't he?
34:05I've never seen him like that before.
34:07It was like he was on something.
34:08Pumped up.
34:09Then, just as we get into town, he slams on the brakes and tells me to get out.
34:13Did you?
34:14Too right.
34:15He was going ballistic.
34:17Calling me a slut.
34:18Tart.
34:20God knows what else.
34:22I ended up walking on.
34:24You aren't better off without him.
34:26Anyway, if it weren't for me, you'd still be out there.
34:29What do you want?
34:30A medal or something?
34:31No.
34:32I went back, you know.
34:34I went back, you know.
34:35What?
34:36To the march.
34:38To see if I could find anything.
34:41Proof.
34:41I thought maybe the shingles might have been disturbed, where there had been struggles, or there'd be a torn piece of clothing or something, a shoe.
34:54And was there?
34:54And was there?
34:55No.
34:56Nothing.
34:58Either the tie had washed it all away, or they were right, and I have imagined the whole thing.
35:04I even sat in the bunker, listening, thinking I might have heard something, a trace, a whisper.
35:12Do you know all that stuff he said about the bird man?
35:17What about it?
35:18Is it true?
35:19So they reckon.
35:20Well, what about what I heard?
35:22How do you mean?
35:24I don't know.
35:25But she was murdered out there.
35:28Then maybe.
35:28What?
35:29So you heard his mother's ghost?
35:32Possibly.
35:34Now who's mental?
35:35All I know is, I'm not making up.
35:38I mean, what if somehow, what if a sound got, like, trapped?
35:42Where?
35:43Inside the mirror, a vibration.
35:46Vibrations?
35:46Well, I don't know.
35:47Where could it be?
35:48How about your imagination, for a start?
35:51You hear all this stuff, and your mind goes into overdrive, conjuring up all sorts.
35:56I didn't imagine it.
35:58It's impossible.
35:59Sound doesn't just float around for years.
36:02Even I know that.
36:04But what if it did?
36:07What if it was like, like fossils, say, that fall into a sand, and a layer of dust settle
36:15over them, and they lie there, undisturbed, for years?
36:21Until this shape form, a space, a memory of what we've once heard, lock away.
36:29Then eventually, over time, they re-remurt.
36:33Then how come no one's ever heard these sounds before?
36:37Because no one ever listened.
36:39Not properly.
36:39Do.
36:40And you do.
36:44Try again.
36:47Badge.
36:47Bad.
36:48Not quite.
36:52Kill.
36:52If it's true, then it's been here somewhere.
37:09What did that one say?
37:111940.
37:13Pass off a can.
37:13April, May, June.
37:25What was that?
37:26Where?
37:27Go back a bit.
37:29More.
37:30Keep going.
37:31The.
37:3217th of June, 1941.
37:36Women found dead on Mars.
37:39It must be her.
37:40The battered body of Maria Rossi was discovered yesterday morning on the eastern shore of the
37:46peninsula.
37:47Two local men, Thomas Fenston and Derek Thorpe, are questioned in connection with her murder.
37:55I told you, didn't I?
37:56It still doesn't mean that's what you heard.
37:59Murder's best relief without shot.
38:02Thomas Fenston, 22, of 9th, abode.
38:09Derek Thorpe, 18.
38:12Please appeal for witness.
38:14But why would they let them go?
38:16Not enough evidence, presumably.
38:19Where are you going?
38:20I just got to check on someone.
38:26Wave.
38:31Wild.
38:32Cool.
38:33Weep.
38:34Weep.
38:37Goose.
38:39Hello?
38:41Are you alright?
38:47Alright.
38:49Alright, I'm coming!
38:51Coming!
38:54It's you!
38:55There's a bird caught in a net.
38:57I think it hurts.
38:58You shouldn't be here.
38:59I don't know who else is out.
39:01I thought it was a bird at first, slapping in the wind.
39:04Where is it?
39:05On the marsh.
39:06Alright.
39:07Wait there!
39:11What are you doing out here anyway?
39:14Looking for you.
39:15Okay.
39:17Okay.
39:19Easy does it.
39:21What is it?
39:22Red Goose.
39:23From Alaska.
39:24How bad is it?
39:27I'm not sure.
39:28Looks like its skin's been rubbed off.
39:31You're not going to kill it.
39:33Heavens no.
39:35Okay.
39:36Okay.
39:37It will now.
39:50You'll spend the rest of the winter here before flying home in the spring.
39:55I came to thank you for a feather.
39:57They are beautiful.
39:59They wouldn't let me up to the ward.
40:01They didn't tell me.
40:03Somehow I didn't think they would.
40:05I heard something, though.
40:07Out here.
40:09So I gather.
40:10A woman crying.
40:12That she was being attacked.
40:13And you reported it.
40:14Yeah.
40:16The thing is, I know what happened.
40:19About your mother.
40:20Is that so?
40:23Yeah.
40:24I don't told you.
40:26Your new friends.
40:27Yeah.
40:29Well, you shouldn't believe everything you hear.
40:32No, wait.
40:33Please.
40:35I have to go.
40:36I didn't mean to upset you.
40:39The things I'm making up.
40:41They're acknowledging it.
40:42I just need to know.
40:43Please.
40:43Leave me alone.
40:44What if that's who I heard?
40:47Impossible.
40:48What about the starlings?
40:50What about them?
40:51You said it yourself.
40:52They can take in the sand from all the rats.
40:55What if the moment I was saying, soaking it all in, very deep,
40:59and somehow the sand came out now?
41:02Resurfaced.
41:02Exactly.
41:03Here, I would be a rat in here.
41:04I could help.
41:06Even if it were possible, which it's not,
41:09it would make no difference.
41:10Why?
41:11Because I already know who killed her.
41:15You do?
41:16Yes.
41:18Now go home.
41:27Where is she?
41:28Who?
41:29Don't piss about.
41:29Tell me.
41:30I don't know.
41:33Don't piss about.
41:34Oh, he's sound, he's chapco.
41:39If there's clandestines, he'll sniff them out, guaranteed.
41:42He never bothers with a probe.
41:43Just opens the container doors and smells for smoke.
41:46Smoke?
41:47Bonfires.
41:47From the camps.
41:49Gets into the clothes.
41:50Ella.
41:51Ella.
41:52Hello.
41:53What are you doing here?
41:55They just want to ask you some more questions.
41:57You look like you've been running.
41:58Can I get you another tea?
41:59Can you tell us where you went in the car?
42:02Up to the farm.
42:03And whose idea was that?
42:05Craig.
42:05He thought it'd be a laugh.
42:07And once you got there, what happened?
42:09We drove round the back, part of the greenhouses and Peckenshire.
42:14There were some caravans.
42:16We stopped and you got out.
42:18Just Craig?
42:19Yeah.
42:20He started banging aside caravans, shouting and harrowing.
42:24And where were you while this was going on?
42:26Steering the car.
42:28With Leanne?
42:29Yeah.
42:29Why?
42:31What was her reaction?
42:32And how did she react when she saw what he was doing?
42:36She tried to stop him.
42:37How?
42:38She shouted.
42:40She ran down the window and shouted for him to leave them.
42:43Them?
42:45He called them scum.
42:46Did you see anyone?
42:48No.
42:49So no one came out?
42:51No.
42:52And didn't you think that odd?
42:53That they didn't retaliate in any way?
42:56I don't know.
42:58We suppose so.
42:59I do think.
43:01And what happened next?
43:03He undid his father and Peed in the caravan.
43:05You never told us any of this.
43:07Please.
43:08Let her finish.
43:09Then he got back in the car and we sped up.
43:13It was like he was trying to frighten her or something.
43:16Like a warning.
43:18When was the last time you saw Leanne?
43:20This afternoon.
43:20Have you any idea where she is now?
43:23No.
43:24Okay.
43:25I'm going to put some noise behind the words so it sounds more like your normal classroom.
43:39Let's see how you do this time.
43:40I'm going to put some noise behind the words so it's going to kill me.
43:58Hell.
43:59Shit.
44:00Ella!
44:01Come and lay the table!
44:03Where's the dustpan?
44:07Under the sink.
44:21What time are you until tonight?
44:23Late.
44:24Stupid question.
44:25But everyone's running around like headless chickens at the moment.
44:28Why?
44:29Someone's been caught taking bungs.
44:31What for?
44:32Turning a blind eye.
44:33Lad got through yesterday clinging to the rear axle of a wagon just inches from the road.
44:37Iraqi.
44:37And no one noticed?
44:39No, not until he was out of the port.
44:40Jacko reckons it's been going on for months.
44:43Ella!
44:43Oh, I'll get her.
44:44She'll be on her iPod.
44:46They had a whole family of Afghans a while back too.
44:48Parents and a baby.
44:50Found suffocated in a container.
44:52Driver claimed he'd never heard a thing.
44:54She's gone.
44:56What?
44:57Her window's wide open.
45:01Have anyone here?
45:06Dinyan.
45:07Have you seen Dinyan?
45:09I'm looking for her.
45:10No.
45:12She's working sometimes.
45:14Have you seen her?
45:14Dinyan.
45:18Does anyone here speak English?
45:21I'm looking for Dinyan.
45:27Dinyan, what are you doing hiding here?
45:29What's going on?
45:30You were right.
45:30What?
45:31They killed him.
45:32Who?
45:33What are you talking about?
45:34Nadia.
45:35Who's Nadia?
45:36He worked here.
45:37Sorting.
45:38I don't know.
45:39Scroll down.
45:40It was nothing at first.
45:41We just wanted to practice his English.
45:44I knew if Craig found out, he could be ballistic.
45:46You asked him, Sarah?
45:48Someone must have seen us together.
45:49I don't know how.
45:51We were careful.
45:52But it's him in the caravan.
45:53He must have found out that night.
45:56That's why he was being so weird.
45:58After I told him it was over, that I didn't want to go back out with him, he came back here
46:03to find Nadia, to teach him a lesson.
46:05How do you know him?
46:06He told me.
46:06He cried?
46:07Bragging.
46:08And we made him beg.
46:10You heard what he did to him.
46:12We've got to have a plea.
46:13If you find out I've told anyone, he'll kill me.
46:15Diane!
46:17That's him.
46:18Diane!
46:19Help me!
46:21Please!
46:22Diane!
46:23Come here!
46:23No, you're in there!
46:24No, you can hear me!
46:25Follow me!
46:26Where are we going?
46:29Shh!
46:31I've phoned everyone I can think of.
46:32No sign of her.
46:34What are you doing?
46:34What does it look like?
46:36What if she comes back?
46:37Well, then she can damn well explain where she's been.
46:39She had a fit when I just read her diary.
46:41She'll go mad if she finds you writing through her thing.
46:43She's taken her phone.
46:44There's nothing on her computer.
46:46All that stuff about the phone.
46:48What about it?
46:49Well, it just goes to show we don't know the half of it, do we?
46:51Oh, she's a teenager.
46:53What do you expect?
46:54Still, I thought we could trust her.
46:56Pass us that torch.
46:59What?
47:00There's something under the bed.
47:02What if she's with them again?
47:03Who?
47:04Craig and his mates.
47:05Give her some credit.
47:06Her boyfriend, then.
47:07What if they've run away?
47:08I mean, let's face it, she's not exactly been happy.
47:12Oh.
47:13Oh.
47:13Oh, you ever go, I can't reach.
47:15If she walks in now.
47:17This was your idea, okay?
47:21It's just a shoe box.
47:26Feathers.
47:27Eh?
47:28Well, it's full of feathers.
47:30I'll bloody kill him.
47:32Who?
47:32Alistair, where are you going?
47:34All right, all right.
47:40Where is she?
47:41Who?
47:42Don't play games.
47:43I don't know what you're talking about.
47:44Ella.
47:45If you've touched her.
47:46I swear.
47:46I've never heard her.
47:48Ella?
47:49Ella!
47:50Where the hell is she?
47:54Please, slow down.
