00:30Oh, shit.
01:25Oh, shit.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Remember you've got to bring your gloves.
01:43Yes.
01:44I do go out, darling.
01:46I'm there.
01:47Miss, miss, watch, he's really class.
01:51You watching?
01:52I'm watching.
01:53Come on then, Kevin, show me.
01:56It's a normal bottle, and I loop 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.
02:22Oh, we'll have to put something on that when we get inside.
02:24Thank you, Miss.
02:26Miss Ellis, I had the nightmare again.
02:29The black shell 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.
02:42OK, dreams can be a bit like that.
02:44If something frightens you during the day, at night, it can come back and scare you.
02:51But if you face up to your fears during the day, they can't get you at night.
02:58Do you understand?
02:58Oh, my God.
02:58Mm-hmm.
03:00Mm-hmm.
03:02Mm-hmm.
03:04Poisoned water.
03:06Poisoned air.
03:07Poisoned air.
03:08Misha.
03:10Come on, kids.
03:12Everyone inside.
03:13Back into the classroom, please.
03:14Back into the classroom, please.
03:16I need you.
03:17I need you.
03:17Back into the classroom.
03:18Kill him, Oshan.
03:21How are you doing, Oshan?
03:23Oshan?
03:24Here.
03:25This way, Oshan.
03:25Let go of him.
03:26Let him go.
03:28Look at him.
03:29Look at him.
03:30Hide, Oshan.
03:36You all right?
03:37Yeah.
03:38Okay, go inside. I'll be there in your night.
03:41Go to Mrs Jones. Don't worry, Kevin.
03:44He should be worried.
03:46All of them should.
03:47No, he shouldn't. He's nine.
03:49You cannot do this at a school. You 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.
04:07Yeah.
04:08You just...
04:11You can't do it here.
04:16Oshan, I'm gonna call your sister.
04:19I'm gonna tell her that you're on your way home.
04:20She's gonna put the kettle on.
04:23If you're not back at the ship in ten minutes,
04:26I'm gonna call social services, okay?
04:28Just go home.
04:33You'll see at the meeting, Jackie Ellis.
04:34There's no way out.
04:36No way out.
04:40Go home.
04:43Go home.
04:45Go home.
04:57Go home.
05:40Yeah, maybe we should think about teaching.
05:43We're not adding population control to the curriculum.
05:50Testing. Testing. One, two.
05:53All right!
05:57Do you hear me?
05:58Right, OK. Yes, 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 seawall, is it?
06:07Bringing the library back.
06:10Right, OK.
06:11So I know you've raised a lot of money for the seawall, right?
06:14Yeah, and work has already started.
06:17About time.
06:18But it's not going to be enough.
06:20Right, I have to relocate you outside of London.
06:26What are you talking about?
06:30Listen, please.
06:33Listen, you're out of time, OK?
06:35We survived the storm five years ago.
06:37This winter is different.
06:38The surges from storms could raise sea levels by five to six metres.
06:42Come on!
06:43It will completely cover the cause, mate, cut you off.
06:46And when the storm...
06:47Listen, no.
06:48When a storm like that hits, this entire town will be underwater.
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 seawalls.
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, we're not scared and we are not leaving.
07:13No!
07:14No!
07:16No!
07:19No!
07:19No!
07:23No!
07:27You see this?
07:28Do you see?
07:29Eh?
07:31Our sheep have grazed 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.
07:42Won't live, Mother.
07:44Won't live, Mother.
08:19No, here.

10:51I'm not kidding.
10:52I'm not kidding.
10:56Emergency.
10:58Which service do you require?
11:00Ambiance.
11:02Connecting you now.
11:05Hello, what's your location?
11:08I'm Morphar Allen.
11:10Morphar Allen?
11:11I'm in the ditch by Williams Street.
11:13Is the patient awake?
11:15No.
11:16Is the patient breathing?
11:17No.
11:20Okay, the tide's high.
11:21Callsway's shut.
11:23We'll send the community first responder immediately.
11:26Can you stay with the patient until they arrive?
11:31I'm in the ditch.
11:38I mean, we can see it's a little tricky with the wind.
11:41Whipping through the top of the eucalyptus there.
11:43Coming from left to right over the shoulders of the riders.
11:46I don't want to get what you get from watching this.
11:49So boring.
11:50So boring.
12:11That'll be him now.
12:17Oh, Jack, now's really not a good time.
12:20I was expecting Kevin home.
12:22I need to talk to you, Cheryl.
12:25Jackie, are you okay?
12:27Come in.
12:28Done.
12:31God, Jack, come on.
12:33Come in.
12:35Boys, let's go get ready for bed, eh?
12:37It's got five minutes.
12:38No, no, no.
12:38We're not arguing about this.
12:39We need to help Jackie.
12:43Do you want?
12:44Come in, Jack, sit down.
12:46Okay, what's happened?
12:51Sit down.
12:56I don't want the boys to hear us.
12:58Don't worry about that.
12:59You feeling okay?
13:00I thought you were doing all right, Jack.
13:02I'm going to call your dad.
13:03Okay, listen.
13:08I'm really sorry that I don't have to tell you this.
13:11But I just found Kevin.
13:15I found him in a drainage ditch.
13:21I think he drowned, Cheryl.
13:28Is this some kind of joke?
13:32The police, they're on their way.
13:35And they sent the first responder, so Ira's with him now.
13:39This is some kind of sick joke.
13:41Danny, what the hell?
13:42The police would be here.
13:43They're on their way, Cheryl.
13:46No.
13:48I'm sorry.
13:51We'll go.
13:52We'll go.
13:52No, we're not leaving.
13:55He'll be back.
13:56He'll be hungry.
13:57He'll want his dinner.
13:58It's going anywhere.
13:59Now.
13:59Now.
14:00He'll be back.
14:00Now.
14:01We've got to go.
14:02Now.
14:02Put it down.
14:03Put it down.
14:04Get your coat on.
14:04Where is he?
14:05Where is he?
14:05Police.
14:06Where is he?
14:07He's at William Street.
14:09The ditch.
14:10Let's go.
14:10Let's go.
14:11Now.
14:11You stay here.
14:12You watch the boys.
14:12You don't say a word to them, all right?
14:14Let's go, Cheryl.
14:15Now.
14:15Let's go.
14:16Let's go.
14:18Let's go.
14:19Let's go.
14:19Let's go.
14:29Let's go.
14:30I don't know.
15:08I don't know.
15:31It's not that deep.
15:33A foot in the middle.
15:34You should be alright in that.
15:36What's in the truck?
15:38Rubble.
15:38On the sea defences.
15:40What, do you work on the site?
15:41Nah, I just did a haulage.
15:45Sunfire.
15:46It's delicious.
15:49What's all this?
15:51They're with me.
15:52Detective Sergeant Ball.
15:53Will you stay there for a sec for me?
16:05You've got forensics, photographer?
16:07Yeah, not far behind us, boss.
16:10I knew it was a child.
16:11Yeah.
16:13Is it Nusataman?
16:17No, Mario.
16:18I knew it.
16:21Come on, Mario.
16:23No.
16:24No.
16:31I don't know.
17:16I'm Detective Bull.
17:18Now, here's what's going to happen.
17:19I've got two police officers here who are going to take care of you and we've got two paramedics
17:23who are going to take care of you.
17:24I'm going to 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.
17:31Jesus Christ.
17:31Come on.
17:34Jesus Christ.
17:37I see you.
17:38No.
17:38No.
17:39Come here.
17:39Come here.
17:40No.
17:40No.
17:41No, no, no, no.
17:42It's okay.
17:42It's okay.
17:43It's okay.
17:43No, Deng's going to take care of you.
17:45Detective Deng.
17:51Dr. Tamar.
17:53Detective.
17:53Did you discover the body?
17:55No.
17:55I'm the first responder.
17:57Jackie found him.
17:59Jackie Ellis?
18:01Yes.
18:02Where is she now?
18:04I'm not sure.
18:22Thanks, Michelle.
18:23Thanks, per的話.
18:23Dr. Tamar.
20:52Uh, yeah, hi.
20:54Um, can you, uh, you put me through to the superintendent's office?
20:59Oh, fuck.
21:00Well, she needs to call me back immediately.
21:02All right?
21:03Eric Ball cannot be handling this case.
21:35Oh, yeah.
21:36Hey.
21:37So, we've got a heavy downpour forecast tonight, so all this evidence is going to get washed away.
21:40I need every millimetre scoward.
21:42Do you understand?
21:42Yeah.
21:43Have you found anything that suggests it's not an accident?
21:46Uh, no, just this handprint which we're struggling with.
21:50And, um, the hill said they sent him to school in blue wellies, but we haven't found him.
21:54Okay.
21:56Um, I, uh, I 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.
22:15Okay, we're in a meadow on the edge of Morvahallen, wooden boardwalk.
22:19We have hedge mustard, prolific cordgrass, honey fungus, blackberry bush, saltburnt.
22:49Have you sampled this water yet in the ditch?
22:50Uh, we've sent it off to the lab, yeah.
22:53Can you pH test it for me now, please?
22:55Go.
22:56Go.
22:59Go.
23:04Um, if it's seawater.
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 on 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 and find out who owns it.
23:30What is this what is thisæ°´?
23:32I don't know.
23:32I don't know.
23:32I don't know.
23:38I don't know.
23:45I don't know.
24:01Hello?
24:19Hello, Lo. Go sit down.
24:25Just brings it all back, doesn't it? Can't help but think of our little niece.
24:37Have the police spoken to you yet? Uh, yeah. They're piecing together Kevin's last movements.
24:44Hey, um, look, I've decided not to tell the kids.
24:48Also, at the moment, let us let the parents tell them tonight.
24:51Yeah, thanks. Okay.
24:54Hey, everyone.
25:39Are you and Jackie Ellis' class?
25:42Is that the same class as Kevin Hill?
25:45Kevin's my best friend, but he's not here today.
25:49OK.
25:52Why are you not out there with the rest of them?
25:54I got stung by a bee.
25:56Stung by a bee? Let's have a look.
25:58Oh, yeah.
26:01What's your name?
26:02James Reese.
26:05So, you and your best mate, Kevin.
26:07After school, where do you go and play?
26:09Sometimes at the farm.
26:11The farm?
26:13Is that Solomon Bevan's farm? Kevin's grandad?
26:16It is.
26:24And were you with him after school yesterday?
26:28You were, after school.
26:30Paul, get away from him.
26:31Where did you go?
26:32Paul.
26:32Did you go to the farm?
26:33Step away, Paul. Get away.
26:35James, come here. Come to me.
26:37Ellis.
26:40Questioning a child unaccompanied. Nice.
26:42I need to take a statement.
26:43All right, James.
26:44See where Mr. Weaver 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'd 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 all right, 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.
27:44They sent you, did they?
27:47Dylan Wraith.
27:50They asked my name.
27:52It's called detective work.
27:54Keep it up.
28:13Hello, can 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, yeah, I do.
28:24So have we met before?
28:27I was on the...
28:30Nessa Taman investigation a few years ago.
28:32So I was in and out back then.
28:33No, yeah.
28:34Well, I moved here six months ago, so...
28:38Do you mind if I ask you a few initial questions?
28:40Come in, yeah.
28:41Cheers.
28:43Was anyone working in the area around the footpath
28:48that runs along the drainage ditches yesterday?
28:52Oh, God, has I already died?
28:57Uh, no.
28:58No one was working there.
28:59Yeah, it was just me.
29:00And, um, I was over in the estuary in the morning
29:02and 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?
29:10I would have been around, um, 8pm, yeah, after the meeting.
29:148pm, okay.
29:15And someone can cooperate there, can they?
29:17Yeah.
29:21How do they work, these, uh, these ditches?
29:24Uh, to help with the flooding, they, uh, they drain the rainwater
29:27coming off the top of the mountain
29:28and then they channel it all around the town.
29:30Okay.
29:30And you, uh, you check on them, do you?
29:32Monitor them, that sort of thing?
29:33Yeah, only sporadically, yeah.
29:34It's just a family of your poles.
29:37They'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?
29:48Yeah.
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, I just have an impact.
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, I monitor sea levels, surges, um, tides, you know, that sort of thing.
30:13Flagging problems ahead of time.
30:16What about the, um, the rain tonight?
30:19Is that going to be a problem?
30:20Tonight's normal, but it will flood.
30:21So yeah, I would park your car up at the, um, the forest car back off the ship if I
30:24were you.
30:25Got it. Okay.
30:27I remember you.
30:29I remember you.
30:29Is it Eric?
30:33Oh my God, it is you.
30:34I knew it.
30:36Wow.
30:36Um, what was that?
30:39Three years ago now?
30:41Four?
30:44Okay, yeah.
30:45Well, I'll, uh, I'll be in touch if I need any more assistance or, uh, okay.
30:53Um, right, yeah.
31:03I mean, all that, uh.
31:21Okay, you can wake me up.
31:22Okay, everyone.ati市inton's

32:06Yeah.
32:12What a terrible thing.
32:17Oh.
32:22Light.
32:23The spores blow in the wind and the rain.
32:27I just can't stop it.
32:29We're gonna be all right, Dad.
32:32Yeah.
32:36Bull called by looking for you.
32:40You came late last night.
32:41I'm sorry.
32:44Didn't think he'd have the nerve to come here.
32:47No.
32:48Have you spoken to Lydia?
32:56Dad, did you tell her?
32:57Did you tell her about Kevin?
32:59Your sister doesn't need to know.
33:02He was the same age as Neff said that.
33:06Don't let this take you back there, Jacky.
33:09You've been doing so well.
33:11You've been doing so well.
33:34You've been doing so well.
33:38That's all.
33:40You're done.
33:44You've been doing so well.
33:47You've been doing so well.
33:48You've been doing so well.
33:49All right, Detective Eric Bull.
33:51I was wondering if Cheryl and Danny Hill are in.
33:53Everyone's in.
34:04Good afternoon, I'm Detective Bull and I'm just here today to ascertain Kevin's moments
34:12from when he left school until 7.30 on Thursday when he was found.
34:20Now, 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...
34:31Sorry, 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.
35:11Okay. Okay. I'm going to leave my details here.
35:16So if you can think of anything, then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
35:20Thank you for your time.
35:21Squ 아마 or...
35:26What?
35:27...
35:27...
35:49How many are you doing now?
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, then 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, if there's any consolation to you.
37:07You know I think you've got more time.
37:10Come in the car with me now. Get it over and...
37:12Detective!
37:13How they can chips, right?
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?
37:41Fucking bastard!
37:41Dylan, stop!
37:42Dylan!
37:43He's a fucking bastard!
37:44You told James about Kevin, it's not right!
37:46Stop!
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 impressed if for a prom school teacher.
38:05Yes, I was there.
38:07Come in the car with me.
38:09Yes.
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, so 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 you?
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 get through that thick fucking skull of yours.
39:12Ask for some things, sometimes small.
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,
39:51and 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.
40:21All right?
40:21I would like what is best for this place.
40:24I want to do the right thing by Kevin,
40:25and I would like to find out what happened to Nessa.
40:28The more you are hated, the less likely it is 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.
41:04Still no apology.
41:12Still no apology.
41:32Still no apology.
41:34Still no apology.
41:44Oh, my God.
42:15All right.
42:17I've got more reindeer in my car, you want?
42:19No more rind, you said.
42:20Sorry, 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...
42:30They'll be big.
42:31How big?
42:32Emergency evacuation big.
42:34Really?
42:35Definitely.
42:55Take them off on the lino.
43:07And 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.
44:00I'm here.
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?
44:25Oh, yeah.
44:25Go 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.
44:34Beast thing 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.
44:43We sent it all for testing.
44:45No sign for 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 doesn't match the sample, does it?
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.
45:00To make it look like an accident.
45:01That ditch is not where Kevin died.
45:03No.
45:04I'll go there now.
45:34I'll go there now.
