00:30Shit.
01:00Shit.
01:38Yeah.
01:38I know.
01:41Remember you've got to bring your gloves.
01:43Yes.
01:44I do eco-a tie.
01:45Round.
01:46I'm there.
01:47Cool.
01:48Miss, miss?
01:48Yeah.
01:49Watch, he's really class.
01:51You watching?
01:52I'm watching...
01:53My name is Kevin.
01:54Show me.
01:56It's a normal bottle, and I leave this around it,
01:59And it comes straight through.
02:00Cool.
02:04You're a very talented magician, Kevin.
02:06Thank you, Michelle.
02:07Let me see that.
02:09Who else has got tricks?
02:11Nobody.
02:12Gosh, you need to get some lessons.
02:13Did you make this?
02:14Yeah.
02:15Did you?
02:16It's very clever.
02:17Here you go.
02:19Ooh, let me look at that sting.
02:21Oh.
02:22We'll have to put something on that when we get inside.
02:24Thank you, Michelle.
02:26Michelle, I had the nightmare again.
02:29The black owl chased me into the water and I drowned.
02:35James, what happens when you get stung during the day?
02:38What happens to it at night?
02:40It itches.
02:41Yeah.
02:42Okay, dreams can be a bit like that.
02:44If something frightens you during the day, at night,
02:47it can come back and scare you.
02:51But if you face up to your fears during the day,
02:55they can't get you at night.
02:58Do you understand?
02:59Mm-hmm.
03:08Misha?
03:10Come on, kids.
03:11It's all right.
03:12Everyone inside.
03:13Back into the classroom, please.
03:14Back into the classroom, please.
03:16I need you to go back into the car.
03:19Kill them, Oshan!
03:21Oshan!
03:22Hide the quick, you lovey!
03:23Oshan!
03:24Here, this way.
03:25Let go of him.
03:26Let him go!
03:28Look at him!
03:29Look at him!
03:30Hide, Oshan!
03:31Yeah.
03:36You all right?
03:37Yeah.
03:38Okay, go inside.
03:39I'll be there in your night.
03:41Go to Mrs Jones.
03:42Go to Mrs Jones.
03:43Don't worry, Kevin.
03:44He should be worried.
03:45Hey, come on.
03:46All of them should.
03:47No, he shouldn't.
03:48He's nine.
03:49You cannot do this at a school.
03:50You cannot grab a child, Oshan.
03:56Oshan, it's Jackie.
03:59You've spoken to me about your ideas before.
04:03You know, it's important for people to understand.
04:06I know.
04:07Here.
04:09You just...
04:11You can't do it here.
04:16Oshan, I'm going to call your sister.
04:19I'm going to tell her that you're on your way home.
04:20She's going to put the kettle on.
04:23If you're not back at the ship in ten minutes,
04:26I'm going to call social services, okay?
04:29Just go home.
04:33You'll see at the meeting, Jackie, Elish.
04:35There's no way out.
04:37No.
04:37We're out.
04:40Go home.
05:10There's no way out.
05:11There's no way out.
05:40Yeah, maybe we should.
05:43We're not adding population control to the curriculum.
05:50Testing, testing one, two.
05:53All right!
05:55Thank you!
05:57Do you hear me?
05:58Right, OK.
06:00Yes, I know I've been up here a fair few times before,
06:02you've all seen me a lot before,
06:04but I've got news this time.
06:06Money for the sea wall, is it?
06:07Bringing the library back.
06:10Right, OK, so I know you've raised a lot of money for the sea wall, right?
06:14Yeah, and work has already started.
06:17About time.
06:18But it's not going to be enough.
06:20What?
06:21We'll have to locate you outside of London.
06:26What are you talking about?
06:28What are you talking about?
06:30What are you talking about?
06:31What are you talking about?
06:31Listen, you're out of time, OK?
06:35We survived the storm five years ago.
06:37This winter is different.
06:39The surges from storms could raise sea levels by five to six metres.
06:42Come on!
06:43It will completely cover the causeway, cut you off, and when the storm...
06:46Listen, now...
06:48When the storm like that hits, this entire town will be under water.
06:52Not with our sea wall...
06:53Now, you need to properly face the idea of leaving this place.
06:57Because you cannot win a war against water.
07:00You can't just keep building bigger and bigger sea walls.
07:03That's exactly what we're doing.
07:04We're building a wall.
07:05We're finishing the wall.
07:07And it'll protect the town.
07:09Listen!
07:10We're not scared and we are not leaving!
07:13No!
07:13No!
07:20No!
07:22No!
07:23No!
07:25No!
07:25Oh!
07:27No!
07:28You see this?
07:28You see?
07:29Eh?
07:30Our sheep have graze this land for over 500 years.
07:34And they're not going anywhere, I can tell you!
07:37Eh?
07:38Right, you guys!
07:40We are not going anywhere!
07:42Long live mother!
07:44Long live mother!
08:12Long live mother!
08:19No here.
08:27Follow me.

15:51They're with me. Detective Sergeant Ball. Will you stay there for a sec for me?
16:05You got forensics? Photographer?
16:07Yeah. Not far behind us, boss.
16:10I knew it was a child.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Is it Nassataman?
16:16No, Mario.
17:04Do you know what you do remember?
17:06Maybe not.
17:07Do you know what it means.
17:08You don't need to shut off.
17:08Hopefully that's Lava works with your friends.
17:11And you thought, we made a mystery.
17:16I'm Detective Bull, now here's what's going to happen, I've got two police officers here
17:21who are going to take care of you and we've got two paramedics who are going to take care
17:24of your body.
17:25And I'll take care of him.
17:25I promise you they will.
17:26You promised me they will.
17:27I promise you they will.
17:28We're going to get you out of the ditch.
17:29You're up and out please.
17:30Come on.
17:30Jesus Christ.
17:31Come on.
17:34Jesus Christ.
17:37I see you.
17:38Come on.
17:38Come on.
17:39Come on.
17:39Come on.
17:41No, no, no, no, no.
17:41There you go.
17:42It's okay.
17:43It's okay.
17:43No, Deng's going to take care of you.
17:45Detective Deng.
17:46I'm Detective Deng.
17:47I'm Detective Deng.
17:49I'm Detective Deng.
17:50I'm Detective Deng.
17:51Dr. Tumman.
17:52Detective.
17:53Did you discover the body?
17:55No, I'm the first responder.
17:57Jackie found him.
18:00Jackie Ellis?
18:01Yes.
18:02Where is she now?
18:04I'm not sure.
18:06God.
18:19God.
18:22God.
18:27God.
18:31God.
18:33God.
18:33God.
20:38Fuck.
20:53Yeah.
20:53Hi.
20:54Can you put me through to the superintendent's office?
20:58Oh, fuck.
21:00Well, she needs to call me back immediately.
21:02Alright?
21:03Eric Ball cannot be handling this case.
21:35Hiya.
21:36Hey.
21:37We've got a heavy downpour forecast tonight,
21:39so all this evidence is going to get washed away.
21:40I need every millimetre scoward. Do you understand?
21:42Yeah.
21:43Have you found anything that suggests it's not an accident?
21:46Er, no, just this handprint which we're struggling with.
21:50And, um, the hill said they sent him to school in blue wellies,
21:53but we haven't found him.
21:55Okay.
21:56Um, I, er...
21:59I hear Jackie Ellis down the body.
22:02Has she given a statement?
22:05Right here, no.
22:09I could do it.
22:12No, I'll do it. Thank you.
22:15Okay, we're in a meadow on the edge of more of a hallen,
22:18a wooden boardwalk.
22:19We have hedge mustard, prolific cord grass, honey fungus.
22:26Blackberry bush.
22:27Blackberry bush.
22:28It's all burned.
22:30It's all burned.
22:49Have you sampled this water here in the ditch?
22:51Er, we've sent it off to the lab, yeah.
22:52Can you pH test it for me now, please?
22:55Go.
22:56Don't.
22:56We've got a pH test.
22:58No.
23:04Um, it's sea water.
23:08Yeah, I thought so, yeah.
23:09I don't understand.
23:09It's a rainwater ditch.
23:11Yeah.
23:12When's the body going off for post-mortem?
23:14Um, in the next hour.
23:15Could you send a sample with it as well, please?
23:16Yeah.
23:18Somebody take this measuring pole for me.
23:20And find out who owns it.
23:23In the next hour.
23:24Uh, I wish.
23:39I wasn't sure, yeah.
23:39Oh 1, 2, 3, 4...
23:48Don't fall off.
23:48Oh, I get six.
24:01Hello, love.
24:24Go sit down.
24:25Just brings it all back, doesn't it?
24:29Can't help but think of our little niece.
24:37Have the police spoken to you yet?
24:40Uh, yeah.
24:40They're piecing together Kevin's last movements.
24:44Uh, hey, um, look, I've...
24:46I've decided not to tell the kids.
24:48Well, at the moment, let us let the parents tell them tonight.
24:51Yeah, thanks.
24:52Okay.
24:54Okay, everyone.
25:39Are you in Jackie Ellis' class?
25:42Is that the same class as Kevin Hill?
25:45Kevin's my best friend, but he's not here today.
25:49Okay.
25:52Why are you not out there with the rest of them?
25:54I got stung by a bee.
25:56Stung by a bee?
25:56Let's have a look.
25:58Oh, yeah.
26:00What's your name?
26:02James Reese.
26:04So, you and your best mate, Kevin.
26:07After school, where'd you go and play?
26:09Um, sometimes at the farm.
26:11The farm?
26:13Is that Solomon Bevan's farm?
26:15Kevin's granddad?
26:16It is.
26:24And were you with him after school yesterday?
26:28You were, after school.
26:29Paul.
26:30Get away from him.
26:31Where did you go?
26:32Paul.
26:32Did you go to the farm?
26:33Step away, Paul.
26:34Get away.
26:35James, come here.
26:37Come to me.
26:38Ellis.
26:40Questioning a child unaccompanied.
26:41Nice.
26:42I need to take a statement.
26:43Alright, James.
26:44See where Mr. Werer is?
26:46I want you to run as fast as you can to him.
26:48Go on.
26:49Listen, I should have taken a statement from you last night.
26:51Or a first account, at least.
26:53That you disappeared after you've been at Kevin's house,
26:55informing the family is police business, Ellis.
26:57You know that?
26:58Give me that bollocks.
26:58Listen, when a young boy has been found dead,
27:00then everything is police business.
27:02Okay?
27:03Do you mean Kevin?
27:05Or you?
27:06It's alright, James.
27:07Who's been found dead?
27:09It's gonna be okay.
27:10Where's Kevin?
27:12I'll be right behind you, okay?
27:14Run to him.
27:15I can't believe this, don't you?
27:19You are not the right person for this.
27:21I need you to stay away from this speech.
27:23And these children, you stay away from me.
27:26Ball?
27:28I'm gonna come and get your statement after school at 3.30.
27:31On the dot.
27:44I sent you to the day.
27:47Dylan Wraith.
27:50You ask my name.
27:52It's called Detective Work.
27:54Keep it up.
27:58Help!
28:01Help!
28:02Help!
28:03Help!
28:05Help!
28:05Help!
28:05Help!
28:06Help!
28:07Help!
28:11Help!
28:13Help!
28:13Can I help you?
28:15Hi there.
28:15I'm Detective Bull.
28:17I'm investigating the death of Kevin Hill.
28:19I understand that you work for the Wales Environment Institute?
28:22Yes.
28:23Yeah.
28:24I do.
28:24So have we met before?
28:28I was on the...
28:30Nessa Tamman investigation a few years ago.
28:32So I was in and out back then.
28:33No.
28:33Yeah.
28:34I moved here six months ago, so...
28:38Do you mind if I ask you a few initial questions?
28:40Come in.
28:41Cheers.
28:41Yes.
28:43Was anyone working in the area around the footpath that runs along the drainage ditches yesterday?
28:51Oh, God.
28:52Has I already died?
28:57No.
28:58No one was working there.
28:59Yeah, it was just me.
29:00And I was over in the estuary in the morning and then I was with the counsellor from lunchtime.
29:06So, are you sure we haven't met before?
29:07What time did you leave the counsellor approximately?
29:09What time are they?
29:10It would have been around 8pm, yeah, after the meeting.
29:148pm.
29:15Okay.
29:15And someone can cooperate there, can they?
29:17Yeah.
29:21How do they work?
29:23These ditches?
29:24To help with the flooding, they drain the rainwater coming off the top of the mountain and then they channel
29:29it all around the town.
29:30Okay.
29:30And you check on them, do you?
29:31Monitor them?
29:32That sort of thing?
29:33Yeah, only sporadically, yeah.
29:34If you just found one of your poles.
29:36They're the same.
29:38Okay, well, it's probably there from last spring when we dredged them.
29:42Okay.
29:43And there was seawater in the ditch that runs along the footpath.
29:47Seawater?
29:47Yeah.
29:48No, that's not possible, no.
29:49So they drain rainwater and they're about a mile away from the sea?
29:55Are you going somewhere?
29:57Uh, no, just having them packed.
30:00What in six months?
30:02Well, I'm here for a job, I'm not making a home.
30:05And what exactly is that job?
30:06What was the nature of it?
30:08So I monitor sea levels, surges, tides, you know, that sort of thing. Flagging problems ahead of time.
30:16What about the rain tonight? Is that going to be a problem?
30:20Tonight's normal, but it will flood. So yeah, I would park your car up at the forest car back off
30:24the ship if I were you.
30:25Got it.
30:25Okay.
30:27I remember you.
30:29Is it Eric?
30:33Oh my God, that is you. I knew it.
30:35Okay.
30:36Wow.
30:36Um, what was that?
30:39Three years ago now?
30:41Four?
30:44Okay, yeah. Well, I'll, uh, I'll be in touch if I need any more assistance or...
30:51Uh, okay.
30:52Um, right, sir.
30:54Um, right, sir.
30:57No.
31:05No.
31:09No.
31:11No.
31:14No.
31:15I don't know.
31:45Jackie Ellis!
31:58Hi, Dad.
32:00Oh.
32:03I'm sorry it was you who found him.
32:07Yeah.
32:12What a terrible thing.
32:22Blight.
32:23The spores blowing and the wind and the rain.
32:27I just can't stop it.
32:29We're gonna be alright, Dad.
32:32Yeah.
32:36Bull, call by, looking for you.
32:40You came late last night.
32:42I'm sorry.
32:44Didn't think he'd have the nerve to come here.
32:47No.
32:48Have you spoken to Lydia?
32:55Dad, did you tell her? Did you tell her about Kevin?
32:59She still doesn't need to know.
33:03He was the same age as Nessa, Dad.
33:06Don't let this take you back there, Jackie.
33:09You've been doing so well.
33:49All right, Detective Eric Ball.
33:51I was wondering if, uh...
33:52Cheryl and Danny Hill are in.
33:53Everyone's in.
33:55Headdam up.
34:04Good afternoon, I'm Detective Bull and I'm just here today to ascertain Devin's movements
34:12from when he left school until 7.30 on Thursday when he was found.
34:21Now if any of you saw anything then please do come forward.
34:24Now I'm going to be speaking to you all individually, obviously, but the sooner I can get any information...
34:31So it's an investigation, is it? You don't think it was an accident?
34:36This is just normal procedure.
34:39We welcome normal procedure. But if you're thinking of investigating this family...
34:46It's just normal procedure to question the family at this stage when the cause of death is still unclear.
34:52Ah, well. You've already destroyed one family with your investigation. Hmm?
34:59So if you dare point a finger at anyone in this room, I can assure you, you'll be sorry. Huh?
35:06Very, very sorry.
35:10Okay. Okay. I'm going to leave my details here. So if you can think of anything, then please don't hesitate
35:18to get in touch.
35:20Thank you for your time.
35:45Thank you, Tommy.
36:28I'm sorry, Jackie. It's terrible.
36:31Yeah, it is.
36:33I mean, an accident like that, it doesn't happen.
36:36You're just a smart kid.
36:38I need to take a statement from you.
36:42I'm getting my tea right now, sir.
36:44Listen, if you don't want to do it here,
36:46then we can go to the station tonight.
36:49Never.
36:51No, no, it's on the house.
36:54Well, one for him then.
36:56I don't want anything.
36:59Look, we can do it in the car now. Come on.
37:01What an offer.
37:04Look, you're not the only one who's had a bad day, you know,
37:06if there's any consolation to you.
37:07You know I think you've got more time.
37:10Come in the car with me now.
37:11We'll get it over in the...
37:13How they can chip, sis?
37:14All right, yeah, tell.
37:17And you told my nephew that his best friend was dead?
37:23What kind of a person does that?
37:37You need to go home and sleep it off, all right?
37:40Fucking bastard!
37:41Dylan, stop!
37:42Dylan!
37:43He's a fucking bastard!
37:44You told James about Kevin.
37:46It's not right!
37:46He didn't!
37:47Yes, he fucking did!
37:48He didn't!
37:49I did!
37:50All right?
37:51I didn't mean to, but it was me.
38:04Well, I was impressive for a primary school teacher.
38:06I thought I was dead.
38:07Come in the car with me.
38:19Then I called it in.
38:21Ira got there about ten minutes later.
38:23She's been the first responder for the past few years.
38:27And the body was against the bank the whole time, was it?
38:29I tried my best to preserve the bank.
38:31It was really muddy.
38:33It was the handprint.
38:34You saw that, right?
38:36And then what happened?
38:40We think he was murdered.
38:42Would you please continue with his statement?
38:46Police aren't always that sensitive,
38:48so I went to see the parents.
38:50They're all friends.
38:52Inform when the family's police business is in case you hadn't noticed you're not in the police anymore, are ya?
38:57Fuck off.
38:58This first meeting is vital in determining whether or not anyone involved-
39:01You know I was your supervisor.
39:03Have you forgotten?
39:04You don't need to lecture me.
39:05Can we not make this personal?
39:06Is that okay?
39:08You just don't understand anything, do you?
39:10Can't go through that thick fucking skull of yours.
39:12Ask for some things, sometimes, fall.
39:14You know, they can be personal, they can be fucking personal.
39:21And what was their reaction when you told them?
39:26They were upset.
39:36Why did you like to do them for me?
39:39About what happened on the beach?
39:41I heard you tell him that it was you that told James about Kevin.
39:46After I informed the parents they wanted to go see the body,
39:49I stayed in it after Kevin's brothers, and when they returned, I went home.
39:53No, you didn't go home.
39:54Then I went home.
39:57And what about Oshan Northern?
39:59Oshan?
40:00Yeah.
40:00Oshan is not a suspect.
40:02He's harmless.
40:03A witness saw him grab Kevin's arm.
40:06Can I go now?
40:13Why did you like to do them for me?
40:15Why?
40:18Because believe it or not, Paul, I would like this case solved.
40:21Alright, I would like what is best for this place.
40:24I want to do the right thing by Kevin, and I would like to find out what happened to Nessa.
40:28The more you are hated, the less likely it is that you can do your fucking job.
40:35You should never have left the force, Ellis.
40:40Yeah, what?
40:44Got a bit personal though, didn't it?
40:46My partner, who I work with every single day,
40:49who had my back, who I trusted with my entire life,
40:52fucked her up, and they betrayed me.
40:54So, yeah, got a bit tricky.
40:55Yeah.
40:59So, yeah, got a bit tricky.
41:05Still no apology.
41:58So, yeah, got a bit tricky.
42:15Eric, I've got more reindeer in my car, you want?
42:19No more rind, you said.
42:20It's going to be spitting a little.
42:22But there is more coming though.
42:24There's a system everyone's been watching in the Gulf of Mexico.
42:27Storms like that develop on this coast, but
42:29they'll be big.
42:31How big?
42:32Emergency evacuation big.
42:34Really?
42:35Definitely.
42:55Take them off on the lino.
42:57Take them off on the lino.
42:58We'll be getting ready.
43:05And the shirt.
43:29And the trousers?
43:31What?
43:34Eric Ball, I am not a pervert.
43:37Your trousers are wet, and I'm going to put them in the dryer.
44:04Irene?
44:06Are you there?
44:07Can you hear me?
44:08Paul?
44:08Hello?
44:10Look, I'm going to call you back from the landline.
44:12Paul?
44:12I'll call you back from...
44:24Irene?
44:24Paul?
44:25Hiya, go on.
44:26I had a look at your unexpected death.
44:28Yeah?
44:29Can you meet?
44:29Well, I'm in Morva.
44:31Causeway's closed.
44:32The tide's high.
44:33Right.
44:34Beasting on his neck.
44:35Yeah.
44:36We found a hair on his T-shirt that isn't his.
44:39I sent off the eyes.
44:41His eyes?
44:42The whites are yellow.
44:43No.
44:43We sent it all for testing.
44:45No signs of sexual abuse.
44:47Initial thoughts were accidental drowning.
44:49Larynx spasm.
44:50Lungs full of water.
44:51But the thing is...
44:52The water in his lungs is about to sample disease.
44:53Exactly.
44:54No.
44:55Samples sea water.
44:56And the water in his lungs is fresh water, so...
44:58So someone's moved the body.
44:59To make it look like an accident.
45:01That ditch is not where Kevin died.
45:03No.
45:04I'll go in there now.
45:13No.
45:43No.
45:51No.
45:55No.
45:57No.
45:58No.
45:59No.
45:59No.
46:12Just act as habit.
46:13I don't know.
46:44I don't know.
47:21I don't know.
