Don't know what war is.
Thank you.
You all right, guys?
Shit's sake, Lil.
Mum know you're here?
Can do what I want.
You're 15, so not really.
Hi, Mehmet.
You all right?
I'm all right, yeah.
Mum's lipstick, that?
You on the whisky, Mem?
"You on the whisky, Mem?"
He's, like, five years older,
it's embarrassing.
Shove it up your arse.

Where's John?
Go home, Lil.

Well, yeah, I'm driving, so
Er, home, I said!
Cadge a lift?
Mm No.
Such a dick, you know that?
You're such a dick.
Piss off, Katie.
Piss off yourself.

"You're a dick."
"You're a dick." Oh!
Oh!
SHE LAUGHS
Come here, right, I've got it,

SHE EXHALES
Oh!
Took you about five years, that.
SHE LAUGHS
Watch this, watch this.
Oh!
Mem!
Oh! What are you doing?
So sorry, Mike.
Use this.
Sorry, Mike.
I didn't mean it.
Such an idiot.
THEY LAUGH
Stop.
Why are you
such a lightweight?
What's your fucking deal?
Every Friday, five pints in
and you start swinging.
I only clipped him.
He's your best mate, John!
Oh, is he? Is he?
Why's he tapping you up, then, hmm?
We were literally just chatting.
About what?
Ah, you ask this
every fucking Friday.
You're my girlfriend, Katie, yeah?
He don't just get to say shit.
Leave us alone, John.
You've always wanted her,
haven't you?
He didn't say owt. Leave him!
Oh, my God, Mem.
She's my girl. Yeah?
If you touch her,
I'll snap your neck.
Oh, grow up, John. Stay back!
Nah, come on, let the big man out!
Just leave him alone, John.
Let's go!
You hear me?
I will kill you!
'CAR RADIO: Dogs were yapping, terrified.
'The wind hissing
through the door lock,
'and he just stood there
on the other side of the glass -
'face peering in, sickly,
hollowed eyes
'that crawled inside your soul.
'Only nine I was,
but I knew that it was him.
'By "him", I mean the Devil.'
SHE SCREAMS

RADIO: 'Morning, beauties.
Gemma here.
'With you till lunch,
guiding you through.
'Now, not sure you've noticed,
'but we've had another ten tonne
of snow in the night.
'I know, I know, it's tedious,
in't it?
'We've had two glorious weeks
of spring,
'and now it's gone all
Billy Baltic again.
'The weirdness of it.
It's weird, isn't it?
'Properly faffs with my chakras.
'And we've got a frozen lake
20 weeks of the year.
'Hard as concrete, you can literally
skate across it in June.
'Now, that's not normal, surely.
But here's the other odd thing.
'Have you noticed in Chadder
how the snow never sticks?
'It does in the forest,
it does in Doffston.'
Fiver going in, Tone.
Where've you got me?
Last.
Again?
Been here five year.
Been here fifty-five.
Bully for you.
Rather go in t'middle?
Rather go first.
Ha! You'll be against Jacob.
Jakub? Fine with that.
Carve you like butter.
Got a glass chin, has Jakub.
I'll drop him
like second-year German.
And then,
I'm coming after you, Tony.
Quite like to pop you
back in your box.
You know, life is a wonderful thing,
Tony.
You should tell that to your face.
SHE SCOFFS

VOICEMAIL: 'Hi, it's DI Ajunwa.
Leave a message.'
Riya. It's happened again.
I keep saying,
I need one of you down here.
I need protection.
I had 20 quid riding on you,
you big Polish freak.
Big Polish freak who's
the best mechanic in Lancashire.
What is it again you do, Tony,
what's your skill?
I'm a good kisser.
Oh, you can practise on me arse.
I did school you out there, though,
didn't I, kidder? Shut up.
You know, you punch like a hamster.
Genuinely.
All I could feel
were these soft paws all over me.
You seen that cheek?
On the house, that one. As if.
Next time,
I'll put you to sleep, sausage,
in a little bed of hay.
You've got a big mouth.
And you've got a big head.
A big, fluffy hamster head.
SHE LAUGHS
Oi, Riya!
Er, don't "oi" me.
Bit of respect,
I could put you behind bars.
Conversation's not finished!
LIGHTER IGNITES
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you ♪
What flavour?
Pistachio.
Happy birthday to you.
Thanks.
Do you want a bite?
I'm vegan.
Yeah, but it's a Saturday.
You've got to have a sausage sarnie
on a Saturday.
No, ta.
Ah, you were bloody tempted!
I bloody well wasn't.
MOUTH FULL: Yeah, you were.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
Morning!
Are you all right, boss?
You all right?
You've taken a few knocks
this morning, boss?
Take a few knocks every day, Nish,
one way or another.
Eh, happy 40th, boss.
Er, less of the 40th.
What's going on with the weather?
Snowmageddon.
It's called
a Polar Continental Air Mass.
Oo-wee, you've got a degree.
Seen Doffston, boss? No.
They're skiing up at Doffston.
They've had 50 inches.
I doubt they've had 50 inches, Nish.
They're only two miles up the road,
but you watch, it will have
all melted by lunchtime.
You know what's actually causing
these changes, Nish? You. People.
I mean, they reckon
that parts of London
might be underwater
by the end of the century.
Fine by me.
Er, have you ever been to London,
Nish?
Why would I spend
half a day on a train
to see a bunch of people
I don't even know?
Why you in on your birthday, boss?
Oh, yeah, I'll have a brew
if you're making.
Er, three sugars, please.
So, any progress
with cat with a cough?
Oh, yeah, erm, Ali, you
I spoke to the owner,
she reckons it's fracking related.
It's a fucking fur ball.
Says it's gas in the air
that's causing it.
What about the stolen ladder?
Oh, right. Fallen in the gap
between the two fences.
So it was there all along?
There all along.
I mean, he was pretty annoyed
at himself, to be fair.
DOOR OPENS
Morning! Good to see you, boss.
Morning, peeps.
How we all diddling? Busy, busy?
Missing ladder is resolved.
Good, good.
Cat with a cough, ongoing.
Oh, I'm sensing attitude.
Oh, yeah. You're sensing right.
Because?
Why does all the juicy stuff
go to Manchester?
We need you on local.
Er, cat with a cough?
I was in the Met for ten years.
Well, I'll send you back there
if you like.
I just don't understand.
When there's a big case,
why can't I get anywhere near it?
Cartel's a big job. Needs resources.
What about the missing Swedish girl,
Nina Karlsson?
I could do that.
Closed.
Spotted a day or two ago.
Well, spotted where?
Nish, you read the report.
Where was it again, love?
Er, thingy.
Er, helpful.
Didsbury.
Didsbury, yeah.
So, what, that's that?
That is that, yeah.
Any news on the missing bin?
Called her yesterday.
It were the red, not the black.
Right.
FAKING COUGH: Bumlick.
Er, Probationary Constable.
What are you again?
A legend.
You know what?
Since you're doing missing bin chat,
I think I'll pop out, yeah.
Lob myself in front
of oncoming traffic.
HE CHUCKLES
There was one other thing.
What, Linda?
Eddie Wells is getting out.
What, when?
Today.
What He's meant to do ten year,
he's only done five.
Good behaviour, overcrowding,
don't know the reason.
Point is, he's out.
You all right?
Takes a sick mind to do what he did.
Chances are, after being inside
for five years, he's worse.
You might want to give Jim
an heads up.
SIGHING: Oh, yeah, God.
Does his family know?
GASP,
GIGGLING
You little shit!
It's what you do to me
when I sleep in.
Pass me t'towel, pass me t'towel!
All right, calm down.
God!
JOANNE GASPS
MATILDA GIGGLES
Err, don't forget, I've got
the girls coming round tonight.
Waitress duty, I know.
I'll give you a fiver for it.
No, you won't.
No, I won't.
Go and pour water
over your sister's face.
I already tried.
Her door locked?
No, her bed's empty.
It better bloody not be.
I need my car!
Visitors again last night,
another mannequin, another noose.
I'm tired of fighting this
on my own.
I'm sorry, Jim, I
It'll be Mehmet, again.
You know, he's actually
a decent lad
Oh, well, he seems it.
HE FILLS KETTLE
Last week,
he was throwing glass bottles.
This week, it's nooses. Tea?
If you're making
Look, Jim, I wanted to
Oh! Er, almost forgot.
Happy 40.
Oh. An egg?
An orb. From South America.
They call it Furacao.
Er, literally, "Scarer Of Evil".
All right, Indiana.
Centuries ago, the villagers
used to use these things
to scare the Lizard Man -
you know, some dark presence
that came in the night.
Could you not have just got me
some vouchers?
Nowadays, it's used
to ward off evil spirits.
Pop it in your pocket.
Never know what's round the corner.
Well, that is what I wanted
to talk to you about, Jim.
Eddie Wells is getting out early.
What? When?
Today.
SOFTLY: No, no, that isn't right.
No, it's not
LOUDLY: No, no, no, no,
that can't be right!
Ten years, they said.
You tell them they made a mistake.
Jim
No, a mistake, that's what it is.
He's a fucking monster!
HE SLAMS CABINE
You tell them that, you tell them
what he did to me.
Jim.
Five years I have bled
into that bed every night!
I've lost my family
and he gets leniency?
That isn't right, that isn't just!
I've got your back, Jim.
How? You're just as scared
as everyone else.
No. I'm fine.
Well, you shouldn't be.
Put a creature like that in prison,
what do you think
goes through his head?
He'll be coming for you.
He'll be coming for us all.
PHONE RINGS
All right, first call of the day.
Any guesses, Ali?
Er, anti-frackers.
One for the fracking site,
I like it. Lind? Potholes.
Bloody potholes! First call
of the season? Could it be?
Do we have ourselves a pothole
problem, ladies and jellyfish?
Chadder Vale?
HE STUTTERS
Say that again?
It's your birthday.
I would've been all right, boss.
Are you sure?
What is that?
Stag.
CROWS CAW
What you thinking, boss?
I'll tell you what I'm thinking.
There's some fucking psycho.
You don't get psychos down here,
poppet. They're all in Leeds.
They've seen it lying in t'road,
pulled over,
got an axe out the boot
and hacked it to death.
Psycho.
What films have you been watching?
I watch, like, documentaries.
About what?
Like, how to make yourself breathe
like a fish, stuff like that.
And on Planet Real?
They've hit the stag,
ditched the car
walked back?
You're not telling me
a Punto's done that.
No, of course.
What're you thinking, then?
EXHALING: Er
wild pigs?
I mean, pigs'll eat anything,
won't they?
Or something bigger.
What's bigger
than a bloody massive deer?
Call the RSPCA,
tell them they're a man down,
and let's get Terry up here.
No idea what that black liquid is.
Get some samples taken.
RADIO CRACKLES
MAN: 'Everything all right?'
We've got a stag in bits up here.
Crikey.
It's dead, properly dead.
I always get agitated
when I see dead animals.
Some people reckon it's a sign.
Don't catastrophise.
It does me nut in.
Now, if you had
hit something head on,
your bumper'll be buggered.
Bumper's fine.
Bumper's fine. Bonnet's not.
It's like a tree's fallen on it.
OK.
OK, so, we are going with tree?
Are we heck! We've got
the bigger picture to consider.
Got to think about
what has happened outside the car,
what's happened inside.
There's a blanket in here.
Meaning what?
Maybe they stopped for a shag.
Rank.
You never had a shag in the woods,
Al? Have you?!
We also can't rule out foul play.
Two seconds ago, you were saying
they stopped for a shag.
There's blood all on the back seat,
and there's some on the handle.
Blood? W-W-What you saying?
I don't know,
I'm just expounding theories.
I'm sure I'll have more
by the end of the day.
All right, Al,
I know you're still probationary,
but let's keep things tight.
What's the first thing we do
with an abandoned vehicle?
Check the plate. Shit!
Fancy a wander?
CROWS CAW
What, in there?
Mm.
Be careful, boss.
Why? What good'll that do?
PHONE BUZZES
SIGHING: Katie, it's your mum again.
Look, I really need the car today.
I start work at one,
and I don't wanna walk in this.
Look, I only put you on my insurance
so you could use it on and off,
not take the piss.
I shouldn't have to hunt you down
every time. Ring me.
GROWL
CROWS CAW
I've got a biscuit here.
Quite soft.
Quite creamy.
Right up your street, I reckon.

SHOUTING
AL: Boss, Terry's here!
SHE PANTS
BREATHLESSLY: Morning, Terry.
Ta for coming.
You've dragged me all this way
just cos you're worried
about road kill?
There are black spots
around the carcass.
Might be nothing,
might be something,
and I wanna know what it is.
I mean, that's a fully grown stag
torn into pieces.
I'd like to know what does that.
ALARM BUZZES
BUZZING STOPS
Didn't hear you get in.
Were you meant to?
Where's Katie?
'Ey up.
What can I get you?
Er, chips, sausage, tommy 'orse, ta.
If you're heading home,
don't take the forest road.
HE SCOFFS
Why's that?
Limbs everywhere, bits of teeth.
What human teeth?
Small or large with the chips?
A small.
Morning, love.
Mehmet about?
Mehmet!
Keep the change.
Can I have a word, love?
Anything you wanna tell me?
There was another to-do
at the frack site last night.
Trademark you.
Wasn't me.
Mind telling me where you were?
He was home.
Fair enough.
Well, listen, I know
you've been very vocal of late.
You like to get down there
amongst them all.
I don't mind you having a voice -
that's your own business.
But as soon as you start
messing around, misbehaving,
lobbing bottles, hanging mannequins,
that's my business.
It's reckless assault, Mehmet,
and it's actionable.
Do you know what "actionable" means?
Means I can pop you in a cell
for two year.
No chips, no PS4,
just you and your wet bed sheets.
S'happened to your face?
S'happened to yours?
You lob owt else, anything at all,
Mehmet, and it is game over.
You're a good kid.
PHONE BUZZES
Don't turn out
to be like the rest of 'em.
Yeah?
'We have checked that plate, boss.'
Car is registered to Joanne Wells.
Shit, are you sure about that?
'Positive.'
Have you checked in with Joanne?
Can you not do it?
'I'm the last person
she wants to hear from.'
It's a bit weird, isn't it?
Her car's found the day
her husband gets out of prison.
'I'm sure that's just coincidence.'
Coincidence is a bollocks, Al.
Everything happens for a reason.
Morning.
WOMAN: Morning, Derek.

Does it matter?
Kinda does, yeah.
Well, I don't deal with filth.
When was the last time
you heard from your dad?
Five years ago, you put him away.
So, I'd say, what, hm, five years?
This is my number.
When you see her,
tell her we've had her car towed.
She left it in the forest.
As you do. Go on.
I know I'm the last person
she wants to speak to,
but I just need to know she's safe.
My mum's fine. She's at work.
So keep your filthy fucking pig head
out of my family, yeah?
FROM INSIDE:
All right, bloody hell, hang on.

All right, Sue, I'm coming.
You're all right.
SOBBING CONTINUES
Nobody's here. It's me, Sue. Riya.
GASPING: I thought
you'd forgotten about me.
How could I forget about you
when you call me 20-odd times a day?
The-the-the phone rang
this morning
I thought it might be Nick.
Well, your son hasn't called
in four year.
You know what
I thought we could do today?
I thought we could
burn the rest of his stuff,
you know, make a thing out of it.
Toast some marshmallows,
what do you think?
He should never have brought you
to this place. Hm.
People don't see what's happening.
What's happening, chook?
When he was a little boy
Nick used to cry at anything
high.
You know, buildings,
churches, towers.
He thought they were giants.
I used to laugh.
I said,
"There's no such thing as giants."
SOBBING: Oh, Riya, I was wrong!
They're coming, Riya.
They're coming

And now I live in a two-bed
in Chadder
with a view of Sue.
THEY CHUCKLE
Yeah.
Nick wanted us to move up here
to be closer to his Mum,
and then, well, yeah,
you all know what happened.
So, there was me planning kids.

SOME CONTINUE SINGING
LAUGHTER
Two weeks ago,
Katie borrowed me new car.
The Punto?
Mm.
Handed it back the following day
all scuffed.
Scuffed?
Yeah! Scuffed. Bollocked her, I did.
Over a scuff?
Two years I saved for that car.
That's, like, 10,000 hours
folding dough.
She's young, can't be
telling her off over a bloody scuff.
Pisses me off.
Scuffing?
LAUGHTER
Yesterday, she took it again,
and guess what?
She bloody scuffed it!
She's not even bloody back!
She's twenty-bloody-one!
And I don't like her keep
disappearing off.
Not when we had that Finnish girl
a few month back.
She wasn't Finnish. Dutch?
Danish. Mm-hm.
Well, whatever.
This in't Twin Peaks, love.
LAUGHTER
You've got to chill out!
Oh, Mum?
LAUGHTER CONTINUES
Mum?
Oh, yes, love?
Car was towed.
Towed where?
In the forest. She said call.
Who?
Police bitch.
Because you're afraid of t'dark.
Didn't want you thinking
there's monsters in the cupboard.
I mean, it's made from recycled tin.
Wouldn't expect anything less.
Thanks.
Er, I'll give you your present on
Monday. The Amazon Fairy fucked up.
OK.
PHONE RINGS
It's on the way, though.
Hello?
'It's Jo.'
Sorry, what?
'It's Joanne, it's Joanne Wells.'
Oh, erm, Joanne, erm,
it's a bit noisy in here.
Can you give me a second?
I'm just gonna go outside.
Sorry, I was just
Erm, we found your car
in the forest.
And I just wanted to
'My daughter's missing.'
Are you there?
Your daughter's missing?
JOANNE WHIMPERS
Katie. Someone's taken her.
'Or she's hurt. She's not back.'
Ali. We've got a missing girl.
I need you and Nish down
to where we were this morning.
And if Eddie Wells is out, I need
to know where Eddie Wells is.
I need a full search of the area,
like now, now. Fucking now!
Katie would never go into
the forest. She hates it there.
She just wouldn't go there!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's OK,
it's OK. She'll be all right.
Din, do a ring-around,
call everyone she knows.
Of course, course.
Lil, have a think about
where she might've gone.

Scuffed?
Yeah! Scuffed. Bollocked her, I did.
Over a scuff?
Two years I saved for that car.
That's, like, 10,000 hours
folding dough.
She's young, can't be
telling her off over a bloody scuff.
Pisses me off.
Scuffing?
LAUGHTER
Yesterday, she took it again,
and guess what?
She bloody scuffed it!
She's not even bloody back!
She's twenty-bloody-one!
And I don't like her keep
disappearing off.
Not when we had that Finnish girl
a few month back.
She wasn't Finnish. Dutch?
Danish. Mm-hm.
Well, whatever.
This in't Twin Peaks, love.
LAUGHTER
You've got to chill out!
Oh, Mum?
LAUGHTER CONTINUES
Mum?
Oh, yes, love?
Car was towed.
Towed where?
In the forest. She said call.
Who?
Police bitch.
Because you're afraid of t'dark.
Didn't want you thinking
there's monsters in the cupboard.
I mean, it's made from recycled tin.
Wouldn't expect anything less.
Thanks.
Er, I'll give you your present on
Monday. The Amazon Fairy fucked up.
OK.

It's on the way, though.
Hello?
'It's Jo.'
Sorry, what?
'It's Joanne, it's Joanne Wells.'
Oh, erm, Joanne, erm,
it's a bit noisy in here.
Can you give me a second?
I'm just gonna go outside.
Sorry, I was just
Erm, we found your car

Are you there?
Your daughter's missing?
JOANNE WHIMPERS
Katie. Someone's taken her.
'Or she's hurt. She's not back.'
Ali. We've got a missing girl.
I need you and Nish down
to where we were this morning.
And if Eddie Wells is out, I need
to know where Eddie Wells is.
I need a full search of the area,
like now, now. Fucking now!
Katie would never go into
the forest. She hates it there.
She just wouldn't go there!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's OK,
it's OK. She'll be all right.
Din, do a ring-around,
call everyone she knows.
Of course, course.
Lil, have a think about
where she might've gone.
Who she might've seen.
You know who her mates are.
Call 'em! OK!
What am I gonna do?
It's all right.

You can't do that!
