Can you see what he's saying? Don't be kissing your girlfriend and talking to her.
This isn't a joke, Amelia.
That's what he said.
If she's telling the truth, then the two murders that I'm investigating are linked.
Afterwards, he got out.
I guess he was going to look at the girl.
Could you see him? Don't, don't make something up because you can't remember and don't lie because you feel like you need to say something.

That means your parents, your friends, to Tom, everyone.
Do you understand? This is really important.
If anyone finds out, Jim will have to put you forward as a witness and I haven't told anyone.
I don't want to.
Mum? Are you guys having a moment? Could you return one of my calls one of these days? Sorry.
In answer to your question, I'm going out tonight.
Right.
Then I'm going to tell Jim to come home and look after you tonight.
No, it's OK.

You should probably go easy on the drinks.
I'd like to offer all our sincere condolences to Jane Shilliday's family.
So if I could ask you all to join me in a moment of silence to remember our friend, Jane Shilliday.

Er, and his eyes.
He had green eyes.
What was he wearing? He had a coat on.
I don't know what colour.
He was here.
Well, he's not here now.
Jim.
A man who was jogging on the Downs has come forward.
Apparently he saw Jane Shilliday jogging.
And he also saw a young girl with a dog walking towards that road.
Do you want me to go and have a chat with him? Do me a favour.
Take Amelia home for me, will you? No! I want to stay here with you.
Get her out of here for me.
OK.
Come on.
Don't ask me any questions.
Not yet.
Do you want me to walk you in? No.
Cheers, Terry.
Uh-huh.
She's home.
Did Dad get called away from your dinner? We didn't have dinner.
We went to some boxing thing.
What, and he stayed there? What a gentleman(!) Amelia? Are you all right? Dad made Terry drive Amelia home so he could have a crazy night out.
That'sthat's not what happened.
What happened? Nothing.
Well, that's not true.
Listen, Tom.
It's nothing for you to worry about.
Yeah, why would I care about the way Dad's treating Amelia? Where are you going? You don't tell me stuff.
I don't tell you stuff.
Hey, Tom DOOR CLOSES Sorry.
It's all right, darling.
Come here.
It's all right.
I'm going to bed.
IMPLANT BUZZES SILENCE Did you come home last night? No.
There was a jogger on the Downs who can identify Amelia.
Described her clothes, her shoeswhich match the shoeprint that we found.
His description also matches the DNA profile we've established for the Bic lighter.
Shit.
If my team's any good, they're going to find Amelia.
If your team is so bloody good, why can't they find the people who ran over that woman? Do you think the man Amelia saw did kill Jane Shilliday? It just seems a bit you know, coincidental.
I thought you said she was drunk.
But I can't rule it out.
HE SIGHS Look, er, can you call Anne? No, in fact, have you got time to drop round there today and tell them Amelia's going to stay here for an extra couple of days? SHE SIGHS OK.
Thanks.
(Do you have to go back in? I mean, maybe you should just, you know, just) Try and rest! I'm only trying to help, Jim.
DOOR CLOSES SHE SIGHS No, not half five, not six, Rob, five o'clock like we planned.
Yeah, it is getting a little bit urgent at this stage I know we're all snowed in and up against it this time of year.
But Hello? Have those surveillance tapes come back yet? We've started canvassing the area, looking for a girl that matches the description.
Great.
No-one's heard anything about Rocky and Jane Shilliday.
What happened to Rocky last night? There's nothing on here.
Apart from the shaggers, which we've already picked up, there's a couple of words, but nothing cohesive.
Is that it? I've checked it all, chief.
There's nothing of any significance.
No conversation between Rocky and Roach? Well, they're on the tapes, but there's no conversation that could actually be deciphered.
Is the lip-reader in? Uh-huh.
She dropped those off before you got in.
What's her name? Robyn.
And find me Rocky.
Now! I'm on it! HE SIGHS If you could bring in the referral.
OK, thanks, bye.
DOOR OPENS Hi.
Hello.
What are you doing here? Er, I thought you might need some help.
Because you don't think I can do it without you? No, you know I don't think that.
BEEP BEEP BEEP IMPLANT BUZZES I have something I want to show you.
We've got some new colours for the processor.
Ooh, they look fun.
No, they don't, Mum.
Anne, do you mind just, er, waiting outside just for a moment? OK.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
She's trying to help you.
She doesn't think I can do it! Of course she does.
There's no point in sabotaging your therapy just to annoy her.
You're the only one who can make this cochlear implant work, and you know that.
You're not doing this for your mother, Amelia.
You have to do it for yourself.
All right.
Thanks.
I'll let her know.
See you when you get here.
OK.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
Have you got time for a cup of tea? Come on, then.
Robyn? Hey.
Hi.
Um, Jim Edwards.
I'm the Investigating Officer on the Roach murder.
Yes.
I know.
Now, I'm curious to know if you think there's any room for error when you translate any CCTV or surveillance tapes.
You're "curious"? That's a polite word.
Is that because I haven't done my job properly? I'm happy to re-look at anything YOU feel unsure about.
That's good to know.
I grew up in a house where both my parents were deaf and the main source of communication was through lip reading.
I take my job very seriously.
I'm very confident that my translations are correct.
Thanks.
JimJim! You OK? We've got some pictures of the shoes.
I think we should put a couple more men back out there.
Great.
If she's a witness, we need to find her.
Um, hello.
Hello.
Can we have one pot of Earl Grey to share, please, and um I don't want Earl Grey.
I'd rather have Orange Pekoe.
OK, that's, um, one pot of Earl Grey and the Do you want something to eat? A bun? I'm not hungry.
That's all, thanks.
Thank you.
How's Dad? He's missing you.
Has anyone been helping you with your speech practice? I don't need help! How's Dr Webster? Mum, can we talk about something else? I was just wondering if she gave you any idea of how you're progressing? So you can justify the money you spent? Here we are.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
You look tired.
I don't want you going out late just because you're staying with them.
I like being there.
Because of the freedom? Not just because of the freedom.
So they let you do things we don't? SIGNING TRANSLATED: Is it so wrong that I want you to learn how to hear? IMPLANT BUZZES SILENCE Meils Put it back in.
Put it in.
Well, give it to me.
I want to Meils (Stop it!) (Stop it!) Amelia Stop it! Leave me alone! 'He was wearinglike plastic coverings on his shoes.
And gloves.
'Describe them.
'They were both blue but different.
' Rocky's training at the gym.
Can you get me a photograph of Johnny Kennedy? Yeah.
Why? Did anybody take photographs last night? Well, Paula might have.
She's always taking photographs.
I want them.
Why? Be discreet about it.
Be great if you could get them to my house in an hour and a half, tops.
Am I allowed to ask any questions yet? Uh, no.
PHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND Haven't seen you at work this week.
I've been in training.
OK, why do you think Kennedy put out a contract on Roach's life? Roach gave up his drugs.
Right, so Kennedy had him killed.
Kennedy's a scumbag.
How well did you know Jane Shilliday? I knew her.
In what way? She boxed here.
She worked at the station.
So probably the same way you did.
She was pretty.
Did Roach know Jane? What are you talking about? You know, I'm just thinking, cos there's been a major drugs bust and the informant gets an axe in his head and the girlfriend of one of the officers is murdered.
OK, what are you trying to say, Jim? What I'm saying is that I know that she was your girlfriend.
She wasn't my girlfriend! Any reason you can think of why Jane might have been targeted? Any reason why you might have been targeted? We're all potential targets.
Oh, yeah, by who? By the scum of the drug world.
Amelia? Are they the ones he was wearing? Come with me.
OK, I want you to have a look at these photographs.
What for? Because you might see the person that you saw kill Jane Shilliday.
No.
I don't want to.
Er, why not? Why can't I say I just don't want to? Look, II don't understand what you're saying, Amelia.
Ever since I had this thing put inside my head, I have to do what everybody else wants.
OK.
But this, this isn't about your implant.
I wish I hadn't told you.
I don't want to be a part of it.
I know you've been traumatised by this experience STO-O-O-O-O-OP! Why do people keep talking AT me?! OK, OK.
It's OK, Amelia.
I believe you saw the killer last night.
I'm in this terrible position of being your uncle and a policeman.
Because, as your uncle, I want to protect you from everything that's happened.
But as a policeman I need your help.
OK.
I'll do it.
Yeah? I can't think of what else she might need.
It's only for a few extra days.
Anne? Hello, Maggie.
Amelia wants to stay with them for the rest of the week.
Right.
I thought I might bring her to the flower market one morning.
There's lots of colour and noise.
Oh.
Is that not all right? It might be a bit overwhelming.
Anne.
Oh, right.
I I don't mean to be awkward.
I-I just worry about her.
Tom's been great with her, you know.
They went out the other night.
Withwith all his friends.
She really is amazing - her ability to communicate.
Er, yes.
You're doing a great job.
Yeah.
Look It's all right, Maggie.
I-I know why she doesn't want to come back.
Is that him? Is that the man you saw last night? Is that the man you saw on the Downs? Jesus, Amelia, I need you to be telling me the truth.
It's him.
(Shit.
) Do you know him? His name's Lee Griggson.
He's in the drug squad.
Dad.
Do you mind?! Don't get tetchy.
Just get out.
What are you doing? It's none of your business! You're a real shit.
Do you know that? Amelia, I'm sorry.
This is very I'm pretty charged up.
Right, I can't stress to you how important it is that you don't tell anybody anything about this.
Anne? What? I don't think she's ready to take all this down.
I don't care.
What? Are you punishing her? Is that what this is? No.
She's in a house with hearing kids her own age.
I thought that's what you wanted for her.
Well, not like this.
Notnot cut off from us like we're suddenly no part of her life.
What are you talking about? We are a part of her life.
This isn't for ever.
What is wrong with you?! I wanted her to hear so much.
I wanted her to have the same things she would have had if SHE SOBS Oh God I'm being No.
.
.
stupid.
Oh SHE SIGHS I don't know what to do now.
I want you to log in here if you see him on any of these tapes.
If you can see what he says, I want you to write it down here.
Just him? Um, any of these guys.
PHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND Look at the state of this.

She's been hogging the computer all afternoon.
Is that your excuse for not doing your homework? Hi, Amelia.
I just brought some clothes and things from your house.
Thanks, Maggie.
I'll just leave them out for you here in the hallway.
What are you doing? Helping Jim.
Do what? Look at tapesfrom his work.
No, no, don't do that.
Don't What do you think you're doing? Calm down.
Getting her to do police work?! Have you seen him on the tapes? No.
Did you see anybody else? Is this why you agreed to keep quiet about Amelia? Amelia? No.
This is what happens to you when you start working like this.
You lose all sense of reality.
It's not my normal situation.
MUFFLED: You can't ask her to do this! I'm not.
She's a young girl who's been completely traumatised and you're just using her disability.
MUFFLED: She's not disabled.
She's deaf.
And right now all I can see is that that's a valuable asset, and I'm bloody glad she is.
MUFFLED: Oh, right, and where are you going? Anywhere but here! Jesus! Why is Dad being such an arsehole? Cos he is an arsehole.
No, it's more than usual.
Loads more.
I'm going out.
Waitdo you know what the story is with Amelia? Don't know.

Can you wait one sec? Yeah, sure.
That's loyal(!) Yousef! How's it going, bruv? HE PRETENDS TO CRY Just shut up.
You all right? Can you hear me without that thing in? Well, why did you take it out? Because when I wear it, people think I'm deaf.
Yeah, but, like, isn't that what makes you not deaf? Yeah, but it makes me look deaf.
But don't you want to hear the music? Sound is just vibration that your ears translate into specific notes.
It's something you understand in a certain way, but it may or may not be real.
Touch is real.
Well, I think you're going to like Ely's music.

He's talking to someone.
Jim told me to log everything down.
What, Dad made you do this? He's not making me.
Is that why Mum and Dad were fighting? Don't mention anything about Ely.
He's a drug dealer.

OK, bye.
Hi.
I'm early, I think.
OK, Amelia, thanks.
Oh, and a very nice gentleman handed in an implant you'd lost.
He said he found it on the Downs.
Amazing! Lucky they've got serial numbers.
Amelia! ENGINE STARTS INDICATOR CLICKS Jim! Shh.
Amelia, Jim's sleeping, what's wrong? I need to speak to Jim.
Well, he's sleeping, darling.
Just tell me what's wrong.
JIM! Amelia, don't wake him up.
What? What's happened? They found the implant.
What are you talking about? They know I saw them.
Right, who did you see? I left it, on the bench.
Then Brody ran off into the woods.
He stole it.
With the doggy bag.
He picked it up.
The receptionist said he found it on the Downs.
I thought you said they didn't see you.
They didn't.
No, but they must have known you were there! Dad! What is wrong with you? It's the police! Jim.
Please calm down.
Amelia's identified one of the killers and if they killed a policewoman, then they're capable of anything.
Does the implant mean they know who she is? It means they know who we all are.
Come with me, now.
Where are you taking her? Out.
That doesn't exactly answer my question.
Look, I need to find a way to get to them before they get to her.
You can't just walk around my house.
Where is she? Do you hear me? Armed police! Open up! You leave my family alone! It's not your job to harass my wife.
Maggie! SHE BREATHES HEAVILY This is not OK.
The one time you had to do your precious job I've put my career on the line protecting her.
This isn't about you, remember!?
Don't you think you should have said something?! Just tell me her life won't be at risk if it becomes known she's a witness.
She's got a duty as an adult, to be accountable and responsible, just like anybody else.
She's not like anyone else.
Hate the fact we have to keep this a secret.
Can you see what he's saying? Don't be kissing your girlfriend and talking to her.
This isn't a joke, Amelia.
That's what he said.
If she's telling the truth, then the two murders that I'm investigating are linked.
Afterwards, he got out.
I guess he was going to look at the girl.
Could you see him? Don't, don't make something up because you can't remember and don't lie because you feel like you need to say something.
He had a dark hooded top on.
And he was He was looking into the trees, towards me.

I don't want to.
Mum? Are you guys having a moment? Could you return one of my calls one of these days? Sorry.
In answer to your question, I'm going out tonight.
Right.
Then I'm going to tell Jim to come home and look after you tonight.
No, it's OK.
I can hang out with Tom.
No.
He'll be back in an hour.
Why does Amelia need a baby-sitter? Don't worry about it.
Listen, I've got to run.
Hey.
DOOR SHUTS It won't take long.
I just need to have a quick chat with someone.
I really don't mind staying at home by myself.
Come on, it'll be fun.
It's a boxing thing.
We'll have something to eat afterwards.

CHEERING One of them from the Bristol drug squad.
Our man Rocky.
APPLAUSE CROWD: Rocky! Rocky! Rocky! I think this is as close as I've come to feeling like a father.
You should probably go easy on the drinks.
I'd like to offer all our sincere condolences to Jane Shilliday's family.
So if I could ask you all to join me in a moment of silence to remember our friend, Jane Shilliday.
OK, let's celebrate.
HE MOUTHS Oooh! OK, up you come.

All right.
We'll go when you get back.
Can I have a cigarette? Thank you.
So, how long have you been a policeman? Are you trying to find out how old I am? No, I'm just curious.
No, I'm not a policeman.
I'm justa member of the club.
Any of you boys got a light? Yeah.
Cheers.
I'll leave you two to it.

He was having a cigarette.
OK, come and show me.
Come on.

Come on, it's OK.
I'm not making this up.
OK, what did he look like? Come on! He had dark hair.
Er, and his eyes.
He had green eyes.
What was he wearing? He had a coat on.
I don't know what colour.
He was here.
Well, he's not here now.
Jim.
A man who was jogging on the Downs has come forward.
Apparently he saw Jane Shilliday jogging.
And he also saw a young girl with a dog walking towards that road.
Do you want me to go and have a chat with him? Do me a favour.
Take Amelia home for me, will you? No! I want to stay here with you.
Get her out of here for me.
OK.
Come on.
Don't ask me any questions.
Not yet.
Do you want me to walk you in? No.
Cheers, Terry.
Uh-huh.
She's home.
Did Dad get called away from your dinner? We didn't have dinner.
We went to some boxing thing.
What, and he stayed there? What a gentleman(!) Amelia? Are you all right? Dad made Terry drive Amelia home so he could have a crazy night out.
That'sthat's not what happened.
What happened? Nothing.
Well, that's not true.
Listen, Tom.
It's nothing for you to worry about.
Yeah, why would I care about the way Dad's treating Amelia? Where are you going? You don't tell me stuff.
I don't tell you stuff.
Hey, Tom DOOR CLOSES Sorry.
It's all right, darling.
Come here.
It's all right.
I'm going to bed.
IMPLANT BUZZES SILENCE Did you come home last night? No.
There was a jogger on the Downs who can identify Amelia.
Described her clothes, her shoeswhich match the shoeprint that we found.
His description also matches the DNA profile we've established for the Bic lighter.
Shit.
If my team's any good, they're going to find Amelia.
If your team is so bloody good, why can't they find the people who ran over that woman? Do you think the man Amelia saw did kill Jane Shilliday? It just seems a bit you know, coincidental.
I thought you said she was drunk.
But I can't rule it out.
HE SIGHS Look, er, can you call Anne? No, in fact, have you got time to drop round there today and tell them Amelia's going to stay here for an extra couple of days? SHE SIGHS OK.
Thanks.
(Do you have to go back in? I mean, maybe you should just, you know, just) Try and rest! I'm only trying to help, Jim.
DOOR CLOSES SHE SIGHS No, not half five, not six, Rob, five o'clock like we planned.
Yeah, it is getting a little bit urgent at this stage I know we're all snowed in and up against it this time of year.
But Hello? Have those surveillance tapes come back yet? We've started canvassing the area, looking for a girl that matches the description.
Great.
No-one's heard anything about Rocky and Jane Shilliday.
What happened to Rocky last night? There's nothing on here.
Apart from the shaggers, which we've already picked up, there's a couple of words, but nothing cohesive.
Is that it? I've checked it all, chief.
There's nothing of any significance.
No conversation between Rocky and Roach? Well, they're on the tapes, but there's no conversation that could actually be deciphered.
Is the lip-reader in? Uh-huh.
She dropped those off before you got in.
What's her name? Robyn.
And find me Rocky.
Now! I'm on it! HE SIGHS If you could bring in the referral.
OK, thanks, bye.
DOOR OPENS Hi.
Hello.
What are you doing here? Er, I thought you might need some help.
Because you don't think I can do it without you? No, you know I don't think that.
BEEP BEEP BEEP IMPLANT BUZZES I have something I want to show you.
We've got some new colours for the processor.
Ooh, they look fun.
No, they don't, Mum.
Anne, do you mind just, er, waiting outside just for a moment? OK.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
She's trying to help you.
She doesn't think I can do it! Of course she does.
There's no point in sabotaging your therapy just to annoy her.
You're the only one who can make this cochlear implant work, and you know that.
You're not doing this for your mother, Amelia.
You have to do it for yourself.
All right.
Thanks.
I'll let her know.
See you when you get here.
OK.
Bye.
I'm sorry.
Have you got time for a cup of tea? Come on, then.
Robyn? Hey.
Hi.
Um, Jim Edwards.
I'm the Investigating Officer on the Roach murder.
Yes.
I know.
Now, I'm curious to know if you think there's any room for error when you translate any CCTV or surveillance tapes.
You're "curious"? That's a polite word.
Is that because I haven't done my job properly? I'm happy to re-look at anything YOU feel unsure about.
That's good to know.
I grew up in a house where both my parents were deaf and the main source of communication was through lip reading.
I take my job very seriously.
I'm very confident that my translations are correct.
Thanks.
JimJim! You OK? We've got some pictures of the shoes.
I think we should put a couple more men back out there.
Great.
If she's a witness, we need to find her.
Um, hello.
Hello.
Can we have one pot of Earl Grey to share, please, and um I don't want Earl Grey.
I'd rather have Orange Pekoe.
OK, that's, um, one pot of Earl Grey and the Do you want something to eat? A bun? I'm not hungry.
That's all, thanks.
Thank you.
How's Dad? He's missing you.
Has anyone been helping you with your speech practice? I don't need help! How's Dr Webster? Mum, can we talk about something else? I was just wondering if she gave you any idea of how you're progressing? So you can justify the money you spent? Here we are.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
You look tired.
I don't want you going out late just because you're staying with them.
I like being there.
Because of the freedom? Not just because of the freedom.
So they let you do things we don't? SIGNING TRANSLATED: Is it so wrong that I want you to learn how to hear? IMPLANT BUZZES SILENCE Meils Put it back in.
Put it in.
Well, give it to me.
I want to Meils (Stop it!) (Stop it!) Amelia Stop it! Leave me alone! 'He was wearinglike plastic coverings on his shoes.
And gloves.
'Describe them.
'They were both blue but different.
' Rocky's training at the gym.
Can you get me a photograph of Johnny Kennedy? Yeah.
Why? Did anybody take photographs last night? Well, Paula might have.
She's always taking photographs.
I want them.
Why? Be discreet about it.
Be great if you could get them to my house in an hour and a half, tops.
Am I allowed to ask any questions yet? Uh, no.
PHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND Haven't seen you at work this week.
I've been in training.
OK, why do you think Kennedy put out a contract on Roach's life? Roach gave up his drugs.
Right, so Kennedy had him killed.
Kennedy's a scumbag.
How well did you know Jane Shilliday? I knew her.
In what way? She boxed here.
She worked at the station.
So probably the same way you did.
She was pretty.
Did Roach know Jane? What are you talking about? You know, I'm just thinking, cos there's been a major drugs bust and the informant gets an axe in his head and the girlfriend of one of the officers is murdered.
OK, what are you trying to say, Jim? What I'm saying is that I know that she was your girlfriend.
She wasn't my girlfriend! Any reason you can think of why Jane might have been targeted? Any reason why you might have been targeted? We're all potential targets.
Oh, yeah, by who? By the scum of the drug world.
Amelia? Are they the ones he was wearing? Come with me.
OK, I want you to have a look at these photographs.
What for? Because you might see the person that you saw kill Jane Shilliday.
No.
I don't want to.
Er, why not? Why can't I say I just don't want to? Look, II don't understand what you're saying, Amelia.
Ever since I had this thing put inside my head, I have to do what everybody else wants.
OK.
But this, this isn't about your implant.
I wish I hadn't told you.
I don't want to be a part of it.
I know you've been traumatised by this experience STO-O-O-O-O-OP! Why do people keep talking AT me?! OK, OK.
It's OK, Amelia.
I believe you saw the killer last night.
I'm in this terrible position of being your uncle and a policeman.
Because, as your uncle, I want to protect you from everything that's happened.
But as a policeman I need your help.
OK.
I'll do it.
Yeah? I can't think of what else she might need.
It's only for a few extra days.
Anne? Hello, Maggie.
Amelia wants to stay with them for the rest of the week.
Right.
I thought I might bring her to the flower market one morning.
There's lots of colour and noise.
Oh.
Is that not all right? It might be a bit overwhelming.
Anne.
Oh, right.
I I don't mean to be awkward.
I-I just worry about her.
Tom's been great with her, you know.
They went out the other night.
Withwith all his friends.
She really is amazing - her ability to communicate.
Er, yes.
You're doing a great job.
Yeah.
Look It's all right, Maggie.
I-I know why she doesn't want to come back.
Is that him? Is that the man you saw last night? Is that the man you saw on the Downs? Jesus, Amelia, I need you to be telling me the truth.
It's him.
(Shit.
) Do you know him? His name's Lee Griggson.
He's in the drug squad.
Dad.
Do you mind?! Don't get tetchy.
Just get out.
What are you doing? It's none of your business! You're a real shit.
Do you know that? Amelia, I'm sorry.
This is very I'm pretty charged up.
Right, I can't stress to you how important it is that you don't tell anybody anything about this.
Anne? What? I don't think she's ready to take all this down.
I don't care.
What? Are you punishing her? Is that what this is? No.
She's in a house with hearing kids her own age.
I thought that's what you wanted for her.
Well, not like this.
Notnot cut off from us like we're suddenly no part of her life.
What are you talking about? We are a part of her life.
This isn't for ever.
What is wrong with you?! I wanted her to hear so much.
I wanted her to have the same things she would have had if SHE SOBS Oh God I'm being No.
.
.
stupid.
Oh SHE SIGHS I don't know what to do now.
I want you to log in here if you see him on any of these tapes.
If you can see what he says, I want you to write it down here.
Just him? Um, any of these guys.

Where's Amelia? She's upstairs.
She's been hogging the computer all afternoon.
Is that your excuse for not doing your homework? Hi, Amelia.
I just brought some clothes and things from your house.
Thanks, Maggie.
I'll just leave them out for you here in the hallway.
What are you doing? Helping Jim.
Do what? Look at tapesfrom his work.
No, no, don't do that.
Don't What do you think you're doing? Calm down.
Getting her to do police work?! Have you seen him on the tapes? No.
Did you see anybody else? Is this why you agreed to keep quiet about Amelia? Amelia? No.
This is what happens to you when you start working like this.
You lose all sense of reality.
It's not my normal situation.
MUFFLED: You can't ask her to do this! I'm not.
She's a young girl who's been completely traumatised and you're just using her disability.
MUFFLED: She's not disabled.
She's deaf.
And right now all I can see is that that's a valuable asset, and I'm bloody glad she is.
MUFFLED: Oh, right, and where are you going? Anywhere but here! Jesus! Why is Dad being such an arsehole? Cos he is an arsehole.
No, it's more than usual.
Loads more.

Waitdo you know what the story is with Amelia? Don't know.
There's plenty of secret shit going on.

Can you wait one sec? Yeah, sure.
That's loyal(!) Yousef! How's it going, bruv? HE PRETENDS TO CRY Just shut up.
You all right? Can you hear me without that thing in? Well, why did you take it out? Because when I wear it, people think I'm deaf.
Yeah, but, like, isn't that what makes you not deaf? Yeah, but it makes me look deaf.
But don't you want to hear the music? Sound is just vibration that your ears translate into specific notes.
It's something you understand in a certain way, but it may or may not be real.
Touch is real.
Well, I think you're going to like Ely's music.

He's talking to someone.
Jim told me to log everything down.
What, Dad made you do this? He's not making me.
Is that why Mum and Dad were fighting? Don't mention anything about Ely.
He's a drug dealer.
If Dad finds out, it'll be bad.
Can you hear me? Nobollocks.

The 26th will be your first appointment, then.
Yes, see you then.
OK, bye.
Hi.
I'm early, I think.
OK, Amelia, thanks.
Oh, and a very nice gentleman handed in an implant you'd lost.
He said he found it on the Downs.
Amazing! Lucky they've got serial numbers.
Amelia! ENGINE STARTS INDICATOR CLICKS Jim! Shh.
Amelia, Jim's sleeping, what's wrong? I need to speak to Jim.
Well, he's sleeping, darling.
Just tell me what's wrong.
JIM! Amelia, don't wake him up.
What? What's happened? They found the implant.
What are you talking about? They know I saw them.
Right, who did you see? I left it, on the bench.
Then Brody ran off into the woods.
He stole it.
With the doggy bag.
He picked it up.
The receptionist said he found it on the Downs.
I thought you said they didn't see you.
They didn't.
No, but they must have known you were there! Dad! What is wrong with you? It's the police! Jim.
Please calm down.
Amelia's identified one of the killers and if they killed a policewoman, then they're capable of anything.
Does the implant mean they know who she is? It means they know who we all are.
Come with me, now.
Where are you taking her? Out.
That doesn't exactly answer my question.
Look, I need to find a way to get to them before they get to her.
You can't just walk around my house.
Where is she? Do you hear me? Armed police! Open up! You leave my family alone! It's not your job to harass my wife.
Maggie! SHE BREATHES HEAVILY This is not OK.
The one time you had to do your precious job I've put my career on the line protecting her.
This isn't about you, remember!?
