00:00You
00:30Yes
00:32Yes
00:34I can't help you
00:36It's okay
00:38I'm here to help you
00:40Don't look at him
00:42Look at me
00:44He's not going to hurt you
00:46Please
00:48So my partner and I
00:50James Hardy
00:52We both got shot
00:54At exactly the same time
00:56First bullet through his spine
00:58Travelled in here, out here
01:00Second one
01:02Damaged his radial nerve
01:04So now he can't walk
01:06And he's partially paralysed
01:07I'm very sorry
01:08I only lost the tooth
01:09Look
01:10But I remember you
01:12With your baby that day
01:14I remember you walking past as Hardy and I got out of the car
01:16I don't remember you
01:18Or your partner
01:20His name's James Hardy
01:21And you're lying
01:22But I'm not here to talk about him
01:23I'm here to talk about PC Anderson
01:25The third cop
01:26The one who died at the scene
01:28What about him?
01:29Did you know him?
01:30Why would I?
01:31He grew up in Leeds Park
01:32Like you
01:33I bet he still had mates there
01:34Probably popped in for a visit now and again
01:36You know, possibly not always in his uniform
01:38I didn't see anything
01:39There's a lot of crime
01:40That goes on in that place that no one sees
01:42I wouldn't know
01:43All of it run by a fella
01:45By the name of Eugene Errington
01:47Do you know him?
01:49Everyone knows him
01:50Yeah, but not everyone has a kid with him
01:54Please, go
01:55Just keep looking at me
01:56You're gonna get me killed
01:57You're talking about the bug-faced asshole behind me, Charlie Bell
02:01Yeah, we know him
02:02He's got about a dozen outstanding ones
02:04For an impressive array of criminal activity
02:06Ranging from
02:07Assault
02:08Spousal abuse
02:09Possession of burglary tools
02:10Which even I didn't fucking know that was a crime until yesterday
02:13Charlie works for Eugene
02:15Everyone works for Eugene
02:16And Eugene owns this shop
02:17He owns everything
02:18What about PC Anderson?
02:20Did Eugene own him too?
02:21I wouldn't know
02:22Charlie there behind me
02:23Is Eugene's muscle, is he not?
02:24I mean, his name seems to keep coming up
02:25Every time I mention Leith Park
02:27Just look at me, Caroline, that's it
02:29Charlie's not our shooter
02:31He doesn't have the same eyes
02:32But I'll bet he was waiting in the car
02:35I'll bet you saw him on the day
02:37And I'll also bet
02:38That you hate that psycho
02:39That you are fucking sick and tired
02:41Of being scared shitless every day of your life
02:46Okay
02:49In a few seconds
02:50I'm gonna walk out of that door
02:51As soon as I do
02:52I want you to get underneath this desk
02:54And stay there
02:55Why?
02:56Do not move
02:57Until someone comes in here
02:59And tells you
03:00Everything's gonna be alright
03:04Please do as I say, Caroline
03:06Thank you
03:07Hey, Charlie
03:11You remember me, eh?
03:14You don't remember me?
03:15Oh, come on, man
03:16You fucking wank stain, eh?
03:20That's a gun
03:21I'm sure you're familiar
03:22Oh, look, there's another one
03:28What are yours?
03:29Charlie Bell
03:30You are under arrest
03:31Hey!
03:32Detective!
03:35How's your partner?
03:37Is he still a fucking crip?
03:48Oh, now you've done it
03:52Right properly fucked yourself up the arse
03:54Oh, Jesus Christ
04:11You're hardly fucking kidding me
04:24Let's thank you
07:23Now go!
07:33Jesus...
07:41Deep breath.
07:58Bird flaps its wings.
08:01One more.
08:10Now, daughter on the mountaintop.
08:18Live the daughter. Be the daughter. Breathe the daughter.
08:21What the fuck?
08:32Jasper is learning that guns and fists are not the only solution. Pulling taffy.
08:39And what weird ballet is Jesus?
08:42This is not ballet. This is Tai Chi. And it's a crying shame that more people don't practice it.
08:51A crying shame is that people don't fight in slow motion.
08:54It's not...
08:55Forget it. Rawling clothes.
08:58Speaking of slow...
09:00You get your ass in gear. When you're late, I get into trouble.
09:04Fine. Gemma's giving me a list.
09:06Who?
09:07Gemma. You met her the other day.
09:10No.
09:11Gemma and Jasper.
09:14Perfect. About that...
09:16No. No. No. No. Please, I beg you, not about that.
09:20Are you using protection?
09:21La la la la la la la!
09:22How do you think you've got it? Hey!
09:26Trust me when I tell you, you do not want one of you at your age. So bag it up. Preferably use two.
09:33I don't want this stuff.
09:45It's been a year, madam. We think you've earned it.
09:48How thoughtful of you.
09:50We just want you to be comfortable, madam.
09:52Fuck you and your comfort!
09:54I don't want you to be careful.
09:55I don't want you to be careful.
09:56I don't want you to be careful.
09:57I don't want you to be careful.
09:58I don't want you to be careful.
09:59I don't want you to be careful.
10:00I don't want you to be careful.
10:01I don't want you to be careful.
10:02Was it John McCafferty?
10:03George McGovern.
10:05Maggie Thomas.
10:06Seamus Reynolds.
10:07Is that it?
10:08Is that why I'm here?
10:09I need something to write with.
10:11Dean McClain.

10:23Grandin McLaughlin.
10:26Sometimes I imagine that in a little spaceship.
10:33Maybe I'll figure out how to fly it away somewhere.
10:40Wouldn't that be nice?

11:00Kirstie Atkins.
11:01Kirstie Atkins.
11:03All these people she's ruined.
11:05She doesn't seem to give a shite about.
11:07Well, she hasn't got it sorted after four years.
11:08She hasn't got it.
11:09Four years is a long time.
11:10Maybe it's time to let her go.
11:11Let her go.
11:12Let her go?
11:13She doesn't know who we are or where she is.
11:14You lost your feckin' mind.
11:15You lost your feckin' mind.
11:16All these people she's ruined, she doesn't seem to give a shite about.
11:21Well, she hasn't got it sorted after four years, she hasn't gone.
11:25Four years is a long time.
11:27Maybe it's time to let her go.
11:30Let her go?
11:31She doesn't know who we are or where she is.
11:34You lost your fecking mind.
11:46I don't know.
12:07Oh!
12:16Oh, no. Give me back.
12:28What are you talking about, dearie?
12:30My necklace.
12:31What about it?
12:33You took it.
12:34It must have fallen off when you made your wee bolt for freedom.
12:38Please.
12:39I'll have a look around, but you really shouldn't be up and about, Pet.
12:44Or have you forgotten what rapid decompression does to a person?
12:49It's been a while since you heard the recording.
12:53Let's remind you.
12:54No.
12:55Symptoms of rapid decompression include the following.
12:59No, stop, please.
13:01Fatigue.
13:02Muscle and joint pain.
13:04And loss of consciousness.
13:07I've accepted that her dying with her without knowing why.
13:13She'll still give me the peace I deserve.
13:16Stop!
13:29Carl.
13:31What are you doing here?
13:33We need to talk.
13:34Talk?
13:35No.
13:36Now is not a good time.
13:37Oh, be quick.
13:38I did what you said.
13:39I started a dream journal.
13:40Carl, stop.
13:41How did you know I was here?
13:44I pinged your phone.
13:45You what?
13:46It's not that hard.
13:47Not when you know the guy I know.
13:49Okay.
13:50You have to leave.
13:51I'm meeting someone.
13:53I'm meeting someone.
13:54So is this a date?
13:56No one goes on a date in the middle of the day for a coffee.
14:02Do they?
14:03It's a thing now.
14:04It's supposed to take the pressure off.
14:08So this is a date?
14:10Yeah.
14:11Is that him?
14:12Carl.
14:13This is borderline stalking.
14:15What about him?
14:16Beardy McMahon bun.
14:17Do you know what?
14:18I take it back.
14:19This is actual stalking.
14:20Can I just tell you about the dream you keep having?
14:23Please tell me I'm not in it.
14:24What?
14:25No.
14:26No.
14:27It's not like that.
14:28No.
14:29Keep shooting people.
14:30Shooting people.
14:31Okay.
14:32They're all suspects and pervs from my past.
14:34Sometimes it's the suspect in my shooting.
14:35Sometimes it's just a guy I put away.
14:37And once it was even a guy I was already dead when we found him.
14:44What do you think it means?
14:46I don't have a Scooby.
14:47What do you think it means?
14:48I don't have a Scooby.
14:49What do you think it means?
14:50I don't have a Scooby.
14:51That's why I'm asking you.
14:53Can you hear the gunshots in the dream?
14:58I think so.
15:02Do you try to reload?
15:05I might.
15:08And can you reload?
15:13If I can't, what does that mean?
15:14That I can't get it up?
15:15Honestly, Carl, I could give a shit.
15:19Martin seems to think this could represent a good thing.
15:22Martin, you're a lodger.
15:23Yeah.
15:24Like I'm finally taking action.
15:26Martin sounds really smart.
15:27Maybe you should be talking to him about this.
15:29Rachel?
15:30Ben?
15:35My brother was just leaving.
15:41Aye.
15:48Call you later, sis.
15:54Hi.
16:05I have to get in here.
16:15So go.
16:16I'm serious.
16:17I'm not gonna survive if I stay here another fucking second.
16:20You're a bit dramatic, don't you think?
16:22I just need some money.
16:26How much could it take?
16:28A few quid for the ferry in a room somewhere?
16:30Oh, well that'll get me off the island, but I need enough to last me until I'm 18.
16:34What happens then?
16:35I get something for my mum's family.
16:37How big or something?
16:38They're rich as fuck.
16:40And what about William?
16:41Aye.
16:42He gets something too.
16:44You just don't care about leaving him?
16:47Why would I?
16:48He can look after himself.
16:50He's Mr Fucking Perfect after all.
16:52I'm not sure I could leave my brother alone with my mum.
16:54Yeah, well no one's asking you to.
16:55I know.
16:56I'm just saying that your dad might be a wee bit depressed.
17:00A wee bit?
17:02But my mum, she's fucking gait.
17:07She burned her fucking house down.
17:10I thought that was an accident.
17:11I thought Lyle was playing with matches or something.
17:15Only if you call flicking lit cigarettes at my dad will at least sleep in an accident.
17:20Me and Lyle weren't even there.
17:22And I thought my life was fucked up.
17:26One of my mum's diamond rings could probably get me a whole new life.
17:38Why hasn't your dad sold any of it?
17:40No, he has.
17:41Sold some of it.
17:42He's pawned some of it.
17:43He goes straight down the pub.
17:45And comes home crying like a wee bairn every time.
17:51What about that necklace?
17:53No, I'm not selling this.
17:55Then what are you going to do?
17:56Harry, it's all I have of her, alright?
17:59I'll figure something out.
18:01I fucking have to.
18:03Well, if you wanted me to come with you...
18:08I would.
18:09One diamond ring could probably pay for a whole year's worth of rent.
18:15And it'd be so easy too.
18:17He keeps all of our things in a drawer unlocked.
18:20You mean to do that?
18:21Yeah, but...
18:22Yeah, I couldn't do that though.
18:23No, he'd know it was me.
18:24And then he'd chase me down until the end of fucking time.
18:34Is there a night William's not home?
18:39Monday evenings.
18:40William has Bible study.
18:41Bible study?
18:42Are you fucking kidding me?
18:43William found God.
18:44More like he found a girl named Mark who likes to go.
18:45And your dad.
18:46He'll be at the pub.
18:47Yeah, or an area meeting.
18:48Depending on what's happened that day.
19:03No, you're not going to do what I think you think you're going to do.
19:07Why not?
19:08If no one already thinks I'm stealing from you.
19:10Well, because it's a lame fucking idea, but I'm not going to give away all the time.
19:13Everyone already thinks I'm stealing from it.
19:15Well, because it's a lame fucking idea, Harry.
19:17Alright? And you'll get caught and you'll make everything so much worse.
19:20I won't get caught.
19:21No, forget I said anything, alright?
19:24Let's just talk.
19:26Let's just talk, Harry.
19:28Okay?
19:30Okay.
19:43Oh, God.
20:02William.
20:13Sam Haig was in court every day.
20:32He was there for Merit.
20:34But he also gave information to Fincher's lawyer that would hurt Merit.
20:39So, was Sam Haig helping her?
20:42Or was he hurting her?
20:46I don't know.
20:50Which is why we're all sitting here staring at the fucking toilets.
21:12I didn't think so.
21:14But I love to come today.
21:15I don't know why we're still there.
21:16No!
21:17No you're not.
21:18No!
21:19No?
21:20No!
21:22No!
21:23No!
21:24No!
21:25No!
21:57It's just the one we first met. Be honest, right? What did you first think of me?
22:07I thought you were obnoxious.
22:10Obnoxious?
22:10What? So obnoxious.
22:14How cheeky as fuck.
22:16You're clearly an amateur.
22:19Now, get up and do as I say, and don't take pics of my balls.
22:24Didn't say the last bit.
22:25Most certainly did.
22:26You said glittered balls.
22:29Which sadly turns out to be a lie.
22:39I like this.
22:41I remember you were wearing it at the pub.
22:43In the gardens.
22:46You remembered this.
22:48What, am I wrong?
22:51It's actually.
22:51It's almost like you were born with it.
22:56Yeah, in a way I was.
22:58You never take it off?
23:00Mm-mm.
23:01Good luck, Charm, then.
23:03Not at all.
23:04It certainly was for me.
23:05No, seriously, I think it might even be cursed.
23:17Why about it, then?
23:19Because...
23:19It's all that's left.
23:23Left of what?
23:24Well, left of who?
23:25Did you even try to look for me?
23:42Well, I'll be gone for a while.
23:44Gone where?
23:45More, for a bit.
23:46But what's in more for you?
23:48My father.
23:49Hmm.
23:49So, how long you be gone?
23:53Who knows?
23:54Well, who knows is code for forever.
23:57Please, I'm not going home to live with my father.
24:00I need to see him.
24:02And then...
24:02And then what?
24:04I'll bring you when I get back.
24:05Which is when?
24:06I don't know.
24:07When I get back.
24:09You're right, font of information.
24:10Can't we just fuck without sharing?
24:13Is that what we're doing, though, is it?
24:15Just fucking?
24:16Oh, did you think this was?
24:23I have to go.
24:25But you can stay.
24:26Order some room service.
24:27Make a day of it.
24:30Hey, madam.
24:33Fuck you.
24:46There's a 10 a.m. boat.
25:00Come with us.
25:04Us?
25:06My brother and me.
25:09I'd like you to meet him.
25:16I understand.
25:22All right.
25:22No, really, it's fine.
25:23I wouldn't want to go with me, either.
25:36Sorry, Sam.
25:37Leave him be.
26:03Leave him be.
26:07I don't care.
26:21Oh, my God.
26:23Oh, my God.
26:53Look, I don't know if Sam was having a relationship with this and...
27:13Merit.
27:14Yeah.
27:14Merit person.
27:16But if it was personal, he never mentioned it.
27:19And if it was professional, there's no way he would have told me about it.
27:22Well, we don't know what it was, yeah.
27:23How does any of this help us in our investigation of Merit Lingard?
27:28It helps you in your investigation into who killed Sam Haig.
27:31We're not investigating Haig's death.
27:33Well, maybe you should be.
27:40Well, Merit, looks like someone felt bad for you.
27:45As nice as I'm sure that feels.
27:49I think we've reached the end of our time together.
27:52Oh, but before we go, we need you to help us settle an argument we've been having.
28:00Oh, fuck you.
28:02Just...
28:03Just kill me.
28:06See, one of us thinks that you can't figure out why you're here.
28:11Because it was so long ago.
28:13And you just need some help.
28:16And one of us thinks you're just a selfish cunt.
28:19You can't give a flying fuck for anyone but yourself.
28:23Merit, please, if you want to get out, then you need to answer the question.
28:28Why are you here?
28:32So, was Sam Haig helping her, or was he hurting her?
28:38Maybe both.
28:40Maybe both what?
28:41Dennis Piper said that Haig was spending time at Godhaven right before he died.
28:46Yes, he was writing a story about his time there.
28:48It doesn't matter about that.
28:49The only thing that matters is why was he spending so much time at Godhaven right slap-bang in the middle of the fucking Graham Fink's trial.
28:57Come on.
28:58Merit, come on.
28:59Think.
29:03Think.
29:03Help me.
29:05Last time we saw each other, it was our funeral.
29:06It was our funeral.
29:09Get the fuck out of here.
29:10We know that Sam Haig was at the hotel with Merit, September the 24th, two days before he died.
29:17But he couldn't have been.
29:18He was at the other hotel with Paul Evans' wife that night.
29:21And he was with both Paul and Chloe earlier drinking.
29:24Unless Paul Evans was lying.
29:26Why would you make up something that's so potentially embarrassing?
29:28So Haig was with Merit Lingard and Chloe Evans at the same time?
29:34Or, not at the same time, but on the same day?
29:40It was two different people.
29:44So, assuming this Sam Haig, Chloe and Paul Evans knew was the real Sam Haig,
29:50who the fuck was spending all that time with Merit in room 401?
29:56Last time we saw each other, it was our funeral.
29:58Fuck off.
29:59Enough.
30:00Harry's funeral?
30:04Are you talking about Harry's funeral?
30:06Harry Jennings?
30:11Harry Jennings.
30:16Is that...
30:17Am I here because of Harry Jennings?
30:21What, the same Harry Jennings who got pissed and fell off the back of a ferry?
30:26Why was he on that ferry, Merit?
30:28Well, he was running away.
30:29From what?
30:31What do you mean, from what?
30:32From what he did?
30:34You killed him.
30:38What is...
30:39Just as you did Sam Haig.
30:42Just as you did your ain't brother.
30:44No, no, no, no, what's...
30:46Is my brother dead?
30:48Everything you've touched is...
30:50Is my brother dead?
30:52You're gonna kill me anyway?
30:53Just tell me!
30:54In a way.
30:55In a way.
30:56But you already know that you're the reason he became what he is.
31:02Just as you already know that you're the reason Sam Haig died.
31:06Just as you already know that you're the reason my beautiful boy was taken from me.
31:13You're a boy.
31:21Harry was your boy.
31:22Harry was your boy.
31:26Ilsa.
31:31Ilsa.
31:31Is that you?
31:38Oh, God.
31:40Wait, and the other one?
31:42Who's the other one?
31:46Oh, God.
31:50There was a brother.
31:52Smells like sex.
31:53Is that who you are?
32:06You don't remember me.
32:09Do I remember?
32:11Harry said you weren't right in the head.
32:19Lyle.
32:21Is that you?
32:23Lyle.
32:26I'm sorry.
32:30About what happened...
32:32to your brother.
32:41But, Vetch.
32:43If you think...
32:44I'm gonna take the blame for the death of your idiot son...
32:48After what that...
32:48Rage bastard.
32:50It's my beautiful brother.
32:52Harry was there to do your dirty work.
32:54No one asked him to.
32:56He was a sweet lad.
32:58But even on his bestie, Harry couldn't hear up two thoughts together.
33:02Lyle was always the smart one.
33:05So don't you tell me.
33:07I sure as fuck didn't tell him to beat my brother into a coma.
33:11All this time, this has been about Harry Jennings.
33:21Harry Jennings deserved to die.
33:27So if that's why I'm here, so you can watch me grovel over him, it's too fucking bad.
33:39Because I will never apologize to you.
33:42Or his psychotic brother for what Harry Jennings did to William.
33:48No, no, no.
33:58Ready when you are, bitch.
34:00Yes.
34:02Let's go.
34:32Sam?
34:41No, Sam!
34:45Sam!
34:48Oh, there he is.
34:51My other issue.
34:54The Moor King of Hotel Khokhmagandiam's sale.
34:59Lyle Jennings.
35:02Don't worry not, lads.
35:08There's cures for elves that smite the heart.
35:11Just try to focus on the task at hand.
35:25As far as we're all concerned...
35:27...what's happening right in front of us...
35:32...is the only thing happening.
35:35I see you, Mr. and Mrs. Pollard.
35:50Just hold your fuckin' horses.
35:54It's not a very progressive thing to say, l know, but there are two kinds of kids who come here.
36:02The kind you can help, and the kind you carry.
36:05The kind no one can.
36:07The budding sociopath and the complete psychopath.
36:11Well, l'm the one who gets them.
36:13The worst of the worst.
36:14The irredeemable.
36:15The completely fuckin' hopeless.
36:16What makes you so uniquely qualified?
36:18I'm one of them, so I know how to reach them.
36:20What, by teaching them how to knit?
36:22And make their beds.
36:23Clean the loo.
36:24Make a fuckin' Chinese chicken salad.
36:25Oh, the wee joy.
36:26And the wee mundane of life.
36:29Does it work?
36:30Yeah, it definitely destructs them.
36:44What kind of a kid was Sam Haig?
36:47Sam was anyone he needed to be in order to get whatever he wanted.
36:53I'd call him more sociopath than psychopath.
36:56Why was he here?
36:57Because he had a relationship with one of his teachers at school.
37:00Doesn't the teacher usually get the blame for that sort of thing?
37:02Well, if the students steal the teacher's bank cards
37:05and then fuck the pin number out of that.
37:08He was a 15-year-old for that one.
37:11Well, there were others.
37:12Yeah, quite a few.
37:14Sam never had friends. He had targets.
37:18Yeah, one of whom may have chucked him off a cliff.
37:20Yeah, that's probably a long list of people who could have done that to him.
37:24So, four years ago, Sam Haig turns up here and he wants to talk about... what?
37:28He said he wanted to write a book about his time here.
37:32You didn't believe him?
37:33Well, he seemed more interested in talking about just one of the other lads.
37:37Would that be the other lad that he nearly beat to death?
37:40How do you know about that?
37:41There's a lovely recording of your formal interview with Sam talking about him.
37:44I assume you're referring to the recording Sam Haig stole during his visit.
37:48I couldn't say.
37:49It was sent to me by a reporter who claims he found it on Sam's laptop.
37:52Is he asking about Rocket?
37:54Rocket.
37:55The kid Sam beat up.
37:57His name was Rocket.
37:58This is Scottish slang for crazy.
38:01I thought Scottish was Scottish slang for crazy.
38:03Well, Sam met his match with Rocket, that's for sure.
38:08The kid was scary as fuck when he got off the bus.
38:11But after he got that fucking dead eye...
38:14Dead eye?
38:15One of his eyes was black.
38:17Well, not to begin with.
38:20Not until Sam Haig kicked the colour right out of you.
38:23Does this Rocket have a given name?
38:25Lyle Jennings.
38:27Lyle Jennings.
38:28Really?
38:29Brother of Harry Jennings.
38:31The boy who robbed the Lingerts and attacked William.
38:34So you know about Lyle?
38:36No.
38:37But we'd like to.
38:43State your name for the record, please.
38:45Lyle Jennings.
39:06Lyle?
39:17Wrong.
39:19Hand on gave his ass.
