Without Sin (2022) s01e03 Episode Script

She was a mate
of Maisy's from the stables.
No one's looking for her.
Do the police even know?
Do they care?
Grandad wants to see you.
- Why?
- 'Cause he's dying.
You called him
"The Millfields Monster."
One minute he's be fine,
the next minute, he'd completely lose it.
You're nothing like me.
Nothing like me.
After what you said about Cleo,
I had a look into it.
And?
Well, a week before she disappeared,
she called the police.
She said she had information she wanted
to share about Maisy's murder.
Who are you?
I don't suppose you know where she is,
do you? I'm kind of worried about her.
I didn't really know
her that well.
- Who's that?
- It's Karl McKeller.
Now, I hope for both of our sakes,
Charlie, that you'll stop talking.
You got a fella on the go.
Who is it?
It's Kelvin.
Owns the stables.
I've still got this.
I thought it might help you
in looking for her.
Maisy, what are you doing?
If he finds out we've been here,
we're gonna get in so much shit.
WITHOUT SIN
Maisy, get out of the way.
Maisy, what are you doing?
Quick, someone's coming.
Maisy, come on.
Come on!
Stella?
What you doing in here?
I wanna talk to you.
About what?
If he finds out we've been in here,
we're gonna get in so much shit.
They won't even notice.
I can't do it.
Quick, someone's coming.
Maisy, come on, come on!
Shit. Let's go.
Look, I had no idea what
the girls were getting up to.
- You knew something was going on.
- What?
No. 'Course not. Look,
I'm as shocked as you, love.
You're telling me you do not know what
is going on on your own land?
I hardly spend any time in here.
Look at the state of it.
Look, I'm sorry, love.
I don't know what to say.
No, 'cause you're
full of shit, aren't you?
I understand. It must
be a difficult time for you.
Your father's here now.
I'll hand you over to him.
Teddy?
- You all right?
- Yeah. Go on.
It's Grandad.
He's gone.
- Dad?
- Yeah. Thanks for calling.
The funeral is going
to be in a few days.
If you're allowed,
will you come?
You can ask for permission.
- Where was he?
- I was with him, Dad. At home.
He died in his sleep. It was,
yeah, it was peaceful-like.
Good boy.
Dad, you should come to the funeral
- Go on, I'll let you get on.
- No, Dad.
- Dad!
- I've gotta go.
Can I just have
a minute, please?
Our Janice got me that.
- It's not my cup of tea.
- Well, it's kind of lovely.
And what about this one?
How much for the stallion?
- Make it a fiver.
- That's daylight robbery.
David Dickinson'd twist
his melon for some of this.
- You all right, darling?
- Yeah, nice to see you.
Oh, just got one on the hook.
I'll see ya in a bit.
How you doing?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Where's Kelvin?
He's getting us a drink.
He told me, love.
About the video.
Must've been a proper shock,
seeing that.
Bet your head's scrambled.
- Ta, love.
- Here you go, love.
- Hi, Stella.
- You all right?
Sorry, I didn't know
you'd be popping by.
Do you want one?
Yeah, I'll have
a coffee, thanks.
How long did you say
you'd known him?
I didn't. You never asked.
Since he took
over the stables.
- About five years back.
- Oh, right.
He knew Maisy well, then?
Don't, Stella.
Please, for me.
He didn't know.
He's got nowt to do with it.
- Mum, it happened on his land.
- Well, that don't make him guilty.
So, you don't know
anything about it?
That stuff that happened was
out of hours. Not on my watch.
Anyway, where did you
and Paul think she was?
Do you know, after everything
that I've been through,
I thought for once
you might just back me,
your daughter,
instead of some fella.
That's not fair.
- Anyway, you're one to talk.
- What's that meant to mean?
Well, don't think I don't know about
these meetings with that monster.
He's got you pointing ya finger
at everyone but him.
What are you now,
Charles Stone's puppet?
You're pathetic. Piss off.
- What's gone on?
- Someone took it all.
Who?
What did you do?
I didn't do nothing.
- You humiliated me out there.
Made me look weak,
and they all saw it.
And they're taking
the piss now.
Did you ever have any involvement
with the stables in Millfields?
Did you deal there?
No. Why, have you
heard something?
Listen, us meeting like this,
people are taking notice.
I'm risking a lot
just by talking to you.
You can't keep me in the dark.
Maisy and Cleo were mates.
They went to the stables
together.
- Did you know they were mates?
- No.
I'd never met her.
They were doing drugs
together there.
How long were you
working for them?
The McKellers?
Most of my life.
Started hanging around with them
when we moved to Millfields.
And their family sort of
took me in, you know.
How did your dad
feel about that?
He wasn't around.
He was a lorry driver.
So he'd spend weeks
away on the road.
And when he was home,
he'd just sit in his chair,
sleep until it was time
to be driving again.
He seemed so weak to me.
I wanted him to be strong.
I wanted him to be a man.
He passed away last night.
He came here, I saw him.
This whole thing,
it took its toll on him.
- He died thinking I was guilty.
- You can't blame him.
It was an open-and-shut case.
They were only looking for my DNA.
They already had their man.
Let me ask you this.
When you came to court that day,
did you have any doubt
whatsoever that it was me?
They screwed us both, Stella.
They've robbed me of my life,
and they never found the person
who killed Maisy.
You said it was the McKellers
that sent you, so which one?
I just got a message with the address
and the make of the car on it.
Honestly, that's it. It could
have been anyone of them.
They all use burner phones.
They do it for protection. So there's
no paper trail, no trace, nothing.
You think Maisy was buying
off the McKellers?
- I never said that.
- You didn't need to.
She ever get into any trouble?
- No.
I'd have known about it.
You didn't know about Cleo.
Times up, folks.
I've got a phone in here.
Right.
That means we can talk
outside of this room. Privately.
Time's running out. If you find
something, you need to tell me.
Thanks for coming.
Oh, God,
you should have seen it.
Do you know what, Charlie's, like,
Oh, he's been odd.
Have you put him vegan?
- What? No.
- What you feeding him?
What are you doing here?
I asked her to come over.
Sort this out.
- Jessie, please.
I've gotta tell you something
and I wanted you both here.
What's going on?
I can't stand you two
fighting 'cause of me.
And I don't wanna
lie to you, love.
Then don't.
We're going back
a few years now.
I caught some lads
in the caravan late one night.
- Who?
I didn't see, I shouted
at them, they legged it.
I went in after and I saw
they'd been doing drugs,
- I don't want to hear about drugs.
- Jessie, please.
I really didn't know what to do.
Go on.
The next day, I get a donation
for the community riding school.
I know what for.
To not say owt.
You know I don't ask a lot
of those kids to pay.
I just wanted to keep
the stables going.
Truth be told, Stella,
I was scared.
Scared to try
and move the lads on.
Who did you get
the money from?
- Come on, Kelvin, spit it out.
Roman McKeller.
I really don't think
it was a big operation, Stella.
Just some lads looking
to stash their gear.
Selling to young teenagers
at your stables?
How long ago did it stop?
A few years back. Not long after
that night I caught them.
Was that before or after
my daughter was murdered?
Not long after.
I'm so sorry, love.
- Stella.
- Stella.
Paul? Meera?
Paul?
So, you didn't know that she was
taking drugs and having sex?
Of course not, she was 14.
I've never heard
anyone call her Misty.
So, you're investigating
our own daughter now?
Just come round here, let yourself in,
just rummage through her stuff.
To be honest, Paul,
I didn't think I'd be welcome.
Where's Meera?
She's gone to stay with
her parents for a few days.
I would've let you in,
you know.
If you'd have asked,
of course I would.
I always wanted to go
through her things with you.
What do you mean?
You just left, Stella.
I know.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I get it.
We both dealt with things
differently, we always did.
I'm not saying mine
was the right way.
Our daughter was out there
getting up to God knows what.
How did we miss it?
How did we not see that
she was acting up?
so unhappy.
I did.
What?
Paul, what you on about?
There was an incident
at school.
- And they called me in.
- What incident?
She got into a fight with Aashna.
It got physical.
They had a fight?
- What was it about?
- I don't know.
She wouldn't say.
And, what, you just let that go?
Why didn't you say anything to me?
I was scared to.
I think she'd found out
about me and Meera.
Fucking hell, Paul,
are you joking?
- How? How did she know?
- She borrowed my phone once.
I wasn't thinking.
I'm so sorry.
Why wasn't I enough, Paul?
Stella,
I wasn't enough for you.
You'd pulled away from me.
You were never home.
You chose to work
when you didn't have to.
And we both knew
we were growing apart.
No, that's not fair.
That's not true.
I couldn't make you
happy anymore, Stel.
Maisy was the only reason
we were still together.
And I think she knew it.
Hi, Aashna.
- Hi.
- You look smart.
I got some work experience
with a friend of my mum's.
It's marketing stuff,
didn't think I'd stick it out.
Look, thanks for meeting
with me.
I just wanted to ask you
some things about Maisy.
I've heard you two had
a falling out before she died.
I just wondered if you'd
seen this girl before?
No.
She was a mate of Maisy's.
I heard they were doing
drugs together.
You and Maisy ever do that?
I won't say anything.
I saw her taking drugs.
Pills at house parties.
Do you know
where she got them?
She can't get in trouble
Her boyfriend.
- What was his name?
- She never said his name.
Was proper secretive
about him.
That's why we fell out.
What happened?
She flipped.
Attacked me.
I didn't think
she'd react that way.
- I'd never seen her like that before.
- Why would she do that?
Because I told people.
That she was going out
with a drug dealer.
Yeah, I'm here.
Roman McKeller.
What do you know about him?
Why?
The drugs the girls were taking
at the stables.
He's connected with it.
He paid the owner
to keep quiet.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. I'm sure.
- Can you hear me?
- Yeah. I'm here.
It's just, he runs things.
Big things.
And this, it's just kids
messing around.
Doesn't seem like the kind of thing
he'd get involved with.
Well, it's the only connection we have
between us to Maisy and Cleo.
Do you think he might have been the one
that sent you there that night?
Again, it's not usual.
That's more
a middle-man thing,
but, yeah, it's possible.
- How do I get to him?
- You don't.
It's too dangerous.
Just tell me where
to find him, Charles.
- You all right, Stella?
- All right, Roman.
Didn't think you knew me.
Everyone does. After what
happened to your lass.
- I was hoping we could have a chat.
- Yeah.
Let's get a drink, eh?
What's your tipple?
I'm all right.
Oh, cracking buffet, though.
There's a new farm shop opened
just off Mansfield Road.
You should try these sausages.
- Spicy, mind.
- I'm all right.
- You sure?
- Yeah, thanks.
I heard you were
back in Millfields.
Yeah, on and off.
Are you keeping tabs on me?
Just in a neighborly way.
I also heard you were
visiting Charles Stone.
What you doing that for?
He reached out through a scheme.
It just helps people
to deal with the past.
So, you've forgiven him, then?
- It don't work like that.
- How does it work?
You just get to know
it helps you try and find out
why they did what they did.
Oh, aye.
So, what have you found out?
That you knew each other.
Apparently, your family was good
to him and you gave him work.
Yeah, only
menial jobs, though.
Not for want of trying,
he was always sniffing around.
Sounds like you're not
very fond of him?
Oh, he's desperate to please.
Willing to do anything, volatile.
How?
He'd take things too far.
That famous temper of his.
He'd lose control.
Like he did that night.
What kind of work
did you have him doing?
What the fuck you up to, duck?
Visiting with him.
Where'd you think
all that's gonna lead you?
I'm just trying to find out
who Charles Stone is.
He's the man
who killed your daughter.
What more
do you need to know?
Come on, I'll see you out.
Lee, go inside.
Help with your nan.
Go on.
That's my oldest.
Thick as fuck.
Always has been.
Still, he's one of us.
Nice one.
Go on, Jaden.
Auntie Stella!
- Hey.
- Hi, Auntie Stella.
Could've made a bit more
of an effort, couldn't you?
Look, she ain't even got
any reindeer horns on.
Here are boys, what'd you reckon?
More like it?
- Even More Christmassy.
- Like a reindeer.
- Don't she just?
- Thank you.
Who's winning?
- I am.
- Good lad.
Jaden looks more like you
every day, don't he?
Yeah, he does. Lucky bugger.
Checked in with the missing
persons' team.
They've managed to find CCTV
of Cleo's last sighting.
Right, and?
Well, she got into a red Golf.
All of her own accord.
- So, it's someone she knows.
- Looks that way.
Can't see the driver and, well,
I couldn't get a good read of the plates.
What did you find out
about Lee McKeller?
He's couple of cautions
for possession but got no record.
He definitely knows her.
He was in her room.
He's gotta have
something to do with it.
Maybe.
Maisy's mate told me that she was
going out with a drug dealer.
- Listen!
I was the one who
identified Charles, yeah?
I wanted him put away
for as long as possible.
The police told me they'd do everything
it took, it was a high profile case.
What if they ignored other suspects?
Don't tell me that's not a possibility.
What if I've put away
an innocent man?
- Charlie.
- All right, Roman.
Surprised to see you here.
You haven't left me
much choice.
So is that why you've
put your Karl in here?
He won't be here much longer.
My family has a reputation,
we don't like to be
linked to a child killer.
So whatever game you're playing,
you'd better stop.
I'm not the one
playing games, Roman.
Sorry to hear about your dad.
Your Teddy's got
no one out there now.
No one looking out for him.
This has got nothing
to do with my boy.
You know that's not how this works.
Roman, please.
Don't make me do this.
Oh, Charlie.
Who's next?
Come here.
- Oi, leave him alone.
- You what?
Put it back.
I'm not asking ya, I'm fucking
telling you, put it back.
You didn't have to do that.
I'm not gonna watch
people bully you, am I?
Listen, Jamal, about before.
I shouldn't have done it,
all right? I'm sorry.
You know.
Come here.
I'm sorry.
- All right? I'm sorry.
- Stone.
Permission's been granted
for your dad's funeral.
Let's go.
- Can I come in?
- I'm just heading out.
- Are you off out on a shift?
- Yeah.
I just wanted to let you know
I've finished things with Kelvin.
what he was allowing to carry on with
I know, Mum. I know.
I didn't have a clue either.
She kept all these secrets.
A boyfriend. I mean,
did you know about that?
I thought we were closer than that,
turns out she told me nothing.
You kept plenty from me
when you was younger.
It's normal.
Everyone goes through it.
It's part and parcel
of growing up.
Stuff you and Remy was getting up to.
Thick as thieves.
I can only imagine.
Yeah, but what she was getting up to,
that was more than growing up, Mum.
- Me and Paul let her down.
- Don't be daft.
You were brilliant parents.
No.
I should've ended things
when I knew it weren't right.
Can't have been easy
living in that house with us.
You were just doing what
you thought were best.
You wanted to give her
what you didn't have.
A bit of stability.
You haven't made many
of my mistakes, love.
No, but I made plenty
of my own, didn't I?
Look, what I said the other day,
that weren't fair, I'm sorry.
It was, though.
I've always had
rotten taste in blokes.
- Kelvin made you happy, though.
- Yeah.
I thought I got a good one
this time round.
Come here.
My world.
You're doing all right, duckie.
My grandad
lived a simple life.
That doesn't mean that
it weren't a special one.
He was a decent,
hardworking man,
working long hours
to provide for his family.
These days,
that's pretty rare.
And to me, that's a hero.
We didn't see him
as much as we'd liked.
But these past few years,
I really don't know
what I'd done without him.
I'll miss him every day.
We all will.
'Cause he was
the very best of us.
A few moments
with my son? Please.
- Okay, we'll give you a few minutes.
- Come here.
All right? Come here,
that was beautiful.
All right? It was beautiful.
He'd have loved that?
All right? You'd have
done him proud.
All right, I'm proud of you.
I need you to listen
to me very carefully.
Right, you do exactly what
I tell you, do you hear me?
Yeah.
- You gotta leave.
- What?
You gotta get out
of Millfields.
You and Grace, you gotta go home,
pack up and get out tonight.
It's not safe for you no more.
This is the McKellers,
ain't it?
It's what you've
been doing with Stella.
- All right, we can't just leave.
We got jobs,
friends, Grace's family.
- I know. But you're gonna have to now.
All right? Just for a bit,
just lay low.
Dad, you promised me.
You promised me that you'd handle it,
You're not, not if this
is what it comes to, Dad.
Listen, all I've ever done
is try to protect you.
So do that now.
Stop.
Dad, please just stop.
Please.
I'm sorry, son. I can't.
I can't.
Dad, what's gonna happen
to you?
Teddy! Teddy.
Son? Teddy!
Hey-up, Lee?
You've been following me.
Look, I need to talk to you.
You know I lost my little girl,
everyone does
but her mate's missing now
and I can't just let it go.
You know Cleo, don't you?
Look, I've lived on this
estate my whole life.
All right? I know everyone,
and they know me.
Yeah, I get that.
So, what were you doing in her room?
There you go.
- Did you know Maisy?
- You ask a shit ton of questions!
- You gave them drugs, didn't you?
- Who the fuck do you think you are?
You know,
you lot are all same.
You act like we're scum for selling,
but you're the fuckers that are buying.
If you're giving them
Misty wasn't a little kid.
How'd it go then, Charlie?
- Yeah, all right.
- Yeah.
You kept your
mouth shut, yeah?
You didn't speak
to anyone, did ya?
No, you wouldn't.
'Cause you know you're done if you do.
You're fucking dead, Charlie!
I think I know who took her.
