Hidden/Craith (2018) s01e01 Episode Script

Dad.
Twilight.
That hour between night and day.
It's neither one thing or the other.
I never used to understand it.
Now on the other hand It's cold.
The wind from the feet of the dead.
It brings trouble with it.
It brought me back.
As I said, trouble.
It's nice to have you home.
Are you sure? I thought Elen and Beth were getting on well without me.
You were always my favourite.
So you say.
I am proud of you.
You know that.
I don't say these things.
- Stop.
It's okay.
Bloody hell.
The way you go on, people will think you're dying.
DI Cadi John.
I understand.
Okay.
I have to go.
Work.
Don't stay out here too long.
What do we have? A young girl, I'd say early twenties.
Trauma to the head.
It looks like she's been washed down the river.
Suicide? I don't know.
Possibly.
Pathology will give us more.
I thought you were off today.
Sam rearranged the scan at the last minute.
Something came up at work.
It's next week now.
That's a pity.
Yeah.
I've just spoken to pathology.
They think the girl was alive when she hit the water.
We'll have to wait for the PM results to confirm that.
Did she drown? What about the marks on her wrists? The scratches? They happened before she died.
She may have been restrained.
Restrained? Their word, not mine.
So she was being kept somewhere.
For how long? They can't tell at the moment.
But it's possible that we're looking at months as opposed to weeks.
Perhaps longer.
After the body of a young girl was found in the river near Pant Wern this morning.
The police don't yet know the cause of death.
Detectives are making enquiries in the local area.
There we are.
We're finished.
Let's get you dressed.
The kettle is on.
I don't have time today, sorry.
I'm behind.
No rest for the wicked.
Pity.
I look forward to the company and the chance to put the world in its place.
Let me help you with that.
Thanks.
Are you alright? You look tired.
I'm alright.
I'm just having one of those days.
I'll catch up on my sleep tonight.
Missing women.
Cases dating back over ten years.
I've placed them in age and height order.
I contacted social services too.
And? They said they'll look into it when they get a chance.
Great.
Previous offenders? Here's a list of those out on release or who live in the area.
If I knew when exactly she went missing, I could be more helpful.
No, this is great.
Thank you.
No problem.
Thanks, Alys.
What? - Nothing.
No, this is great.
Thank you.
- You just don't want to share me.
Yes, that's what it is.
We don't see things as they are.
We see things as we are.
On his voyage to America Christopher Columbus saw three mermaids.
He described them as feminine figures rising from the sea.
Did Columbus imagine these mermaids because of his deep interest in fantasy and the supernatural? Or did he really see them? We don't see things as they are.
We see things as we are.
We can't see the world exactly as it is.
We see it instead through the prism of our minds.
That is to say our past experiences affect our present outlook.
That suggests that everyone here today has six senses.
That sixth sense can be found deep within that which we call our self.
Are you alright? - Hm? You look awful.
- Eh? I'm alright, just knackered.
Don't you want it? I feel ill.
Pass it over then.
So, tonight? Tonight.
- The party at Cai's house.
Oh, I don't know.
- You promised.
I've got this essay.
Fuck the essay.
You need to have some fun.
Drink like a nutter.
Do something totally stupid.
Please? For me.
I can't go like Billy No Mates, I'm too shy.
Shy? You? Please, please.
Alright.
Okay.
.
Okay.
I'll come with you.
Hey.
Look at this.
Mali Pryce, 16, disappeared April 2011.
Problems at home, never at school.
Drugs, stealing.
Her mother reported her missing.
Her father Alun Pryce served three years for ABH in 2002.
He was released 2005.
The same old story.
The same old story.
Look at the photo, back of file.
What do you think? Do we have an address? We could get one.
Alright, guys? In a statement in 2011, you said that things at home weren't good.
Between Mali and her mother, I mean.
What was wrong? Mal was playing around with lads twice her age.
She'd come home in the middle of the night, hammered.
I told her to watch it.
Some of those lads, those men She had no idea, she was a bloody kid.
Where's your wife now, Mr Pryce? I don't know.
She's gone.
I haven't seen her for years.
This is all my fault.
I wasn't here for them.
I was inside.
Then I'd come out, spoil them a little before disappearing again.
If I'd been here more They deserved better.
We brought some photographs with us.
Would you be willing to look at them? It's her.
Are you sure? That's what I said.
She's Mali.
She wanted a tattoo.
She moaned about it.
I made her wait until she was sixteen.
She wanted an angel.
An angel to watch over her.
I'm sorry.
For what? That my daughter's dead? Or that she was alive all this time and you lot did fuck all about it? What's wrong? What do you want? What are you doing here? He's done fuck all, right? Why can't you leave us alone? They've found her.
What? Your sister.
They've found her body.
No.
No, no way.
It's a mistake.
No.
She hasn't died, Dad.
Dad? You did nothing.
Nothing.
It's because of who I am.
And because of where she came from.
I don't want to see you near us again.
Understand? Thanks.
- My pleasure.
Have you thought of names yet? Boy or a girl? We haven't decided.
Maybe Mathew for a boy.
Sam likes Ella.
Ella's a nice name.
Try not to look too excited.
No.
It's good.
Everything's great.
If you're going to lie, make sure you let your face know.
It's letting you down.
Oh, I don't know.
I'm just feeling a little What? Hormonal.
What do you want, Marc? You know I'm working.
I told you not to call me.
No, Marc, not now.
Marc, stop it, please! I have to go.
Don't call again, right? Dyl.
Dylan.
You were late again this morning.
Almost an hour this time.
That's the third time this month.
What's going on? Sorry, it was just, um Just what? The starter motor on the truck.
If there's a problem at home - The truck.
It was the truck.
There's nothing wrong with your work, Dylan.
You have to be here on time.
I know, sorry.
My customers are moaning.
The last thing I need is staff turning up whenever they want.
It won't happen again.
Alright.
Go home, then.
We're working on the theory that she was being kept within five to ten miles of where we found her.
Pathology suggest the injuries under her feet happened before she died.
They came from running.
Maybe she was trying to escape.
She was being held under our noses all this time.
An utter cock-up.
Questions will be asked.
We need answers as soon as we can get them.
We've fucked up once, we don't want to again.
Right, let's talk to them.
Okay, we've got a lot to discuss.
Phones off, please.
Mali Pryce's body was discovered this morning at 5.
15am after a call from a member of the public directed us to this location.
Pant Wern.
Mali Pryce went missing in April 2011.
The investigation at the time didn't uncover anything to suggest she was kidnapped.
Dear me, be quiet.
Be quiet.
Is Nia still awake? She isn't.
She's asleep.
What's wrong with her? Leave the girl alone.
She's fine.
Sit down.
Your supper is ready.
Hiya.
- Hi.
What happened? - He took a fall in town.
Another fit.
Thankfully, he was found and put in an ambulance.
Where is he now? - In bed.
Elin's with him.
He won't eat anything and he's as white as a sheet.
Dear Lord.
First the doctors, now the constabulary! How are you? I fell over.
I got a bit dizzy, that's all.
I'm better now.
- You need to sleep.
I can hear them spinning the yarn in that town already.
Ex-chief of police hammered on the High Street.
They won't think that.
I'll speak to Bethan.
Don't keep him too long.
He needs to sleep.
She's angry I went out on my own.
When I came around in the hospital, there she was staring at me.
She went nuts.
You should listen to her.
She knows what she's talking about.
Open that window, will you? I'm sweating buckets here.
I have to keep going, Cadi.
I can't just lie here waiting for the end.
It's not in my nature.
No more of these amateur dramatics, okay? What did they want? It must have been important for them to phone that early.
A body.
A girl went missing in 2011.
We found her this morning.
It looks like she was held somewhere.
Held somewhere all this time? Hm.
Bloody hell.
Yes, I know.
Have you found out who she was? -Yes.
How did she die? We're waiting for confirmation.
Is Phillips still there? No, Morris.
Morris.
I don't know him.
Is he good? Yes, she is.
I shouldn't have said anything.
You'll be sat here thinking about the whole thing.
I know you.
- Once a copper Right, sleep.
Forget the case.
Sleep, okay? Oh, Cad.
Throw that soup down the toilet.
Tell them I ate it, they'll feel better.
Did you do this? What the fuck is wrong with you, Marc? I know you did it.
Say something.
Marc? Marc? I've been through Mali Pryce's record.
Theft, drunk and disorderly.
Another girl is mentioned on both counts.
Sara Dean.
Mali Pryce and Sara Dean were arrested and cautioned together three times.
It looks like this other girl wasn't questioned when Mali went missing.
Do we have an address? - Yes.
Okay.
We'd better speak to her.
She might remember something.
Um What about Mali's mother? Catrin.
Have we found her? We've let her know.
She was in Bristol.
- Have Path said anything? Nothing.
We're still waiting.
Nothing new there, then.
How's your father? He's okay.
False alarm.
Anyway, it's late.
We'll talk in the morning, okay? Okay.
I don't want to think about it.
That's the problem.
He's not going to a home and that's it.
I'm not saying that.
Things are going to change.
His medical needs are going to change.
He will need palliative care.
Can you hear yourself? We're talking about Dad, not one of your patients on your rounds.
His health is deteriorating, Beth.
He'll be in pain.
You've got no idea how much pain.
Can you talk some sense into her, please? Have you spoken to Dad about this? Do we know what he wants? His life, his death, his choice.
Oh, great.
Thanks for that.
Basically, you don't have an opinion at all, for a change.
What's that supposed to mean? We've been dealing with this longer than you have.
I came back as often as I could, you know that.
I gave everything up.
I sold my flat and put in for a transfer to be here for Dad.
You're a real hero, aren't you? If you have something to say, Elin, just say it.
Not now.
Please.
This wine is disgusting.
I know.
Dad buys it thinking we like it.
It's like cat's piss.
You know what he's like.
Once he's got an idea in his head, you can't change his mind.
Meg? Megan? Megan, wait.
What the fuck? Where are you going? Just leave me alone.
- Megan.
Just fuck off, will you? And that's the end of the show.
Three hours pass quickly.
I'm going to feed the dogs.
Geraint Lloyd is after the news, goodnight, we'll see you next week.
Good evening, here are the headlines at ten o'clock.
North Wales Police have named the young girl whose body was discovered in Pant Wern this morning.
Mali Pryce went missing from the Llanberis area in 2011.
The police are appealing to the public for any information.
What did I tell you? I warned you, didn't I? Pig.
You shameless swine.
What did you do? I don't want you in my house tonight.
You can sleep out here with the animals.
Lowri Driscoll? - Yes.
Come on through.
