After the Flood (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Yeah? 'Jo, your mum's been knocked
off her bike in a hit and run.'
Jo had gone to school,
Bren was at work
so we could go upstairs and
Didn't even bother with that
sometimes.
Amy, this is Lee,
the man who saved your baby.
Oh, thank you!
A dozen flood warnings
have been issued across the region -
ours is Red.
Pat, everything OK?
The police are here,
how's that happened?
You're the only one
who knows where we are!
If they've arrested him,
then that's it.
No, don't walk away
Who was the man
you were with at Nanta?
Lee Ellison, but I can show you
where to find him on my phone.
Suspect on foot,
heading to the barn!
He's armed.
So YOU shopped her?
She'd tell them about the DNA,
and then I'd be sold down the river!
But sacrifice me
to hide what exactly?
What you doing, Pat?
Were you involved in Daniel's death?
Oh, my God.
D'you know what you're like, Jo?
You're like a You're like a
..a tram or a train.
When you get a lead,
you are on the tracks
going from A to B, to wherever
you've made your mind up to go.
But the problem is,
things aren't always that simple.
Were you involved?!
I was there, OK?!
I was there.
Jesus.
Why? Where?
Where was this?
Jack's building!
In the office that was cleaned -
the one that had its locks changed?
OK, Daniel's there obviously.
And if-if this
is the insurance scam -
which it is, isn't it? Yeah.
So Lee's there?
Keith?
No.
Jack! Jack's there!
Jack was there with Sarah.
What do you mean, with Sarah?
I was there with Mackie.
What?! What?
How can Mackie be there?
No, why Mackie?
Get off the fucking train
and I will tell you!
Mackie was there because Mackie
is a law unto himself.
Because back when I was in uniform,
there was this kid
from a good family
and he got himself into trouble.
Mackie persuaded me
that we should read him the riot act
and let him go,
rather than ruin his life.
Which made sense, you know?
It even felt like good policing.
Until a week later,
when I'm handed £200
because the family wanted
to make their appreciation known.
And refusing it wasn't an option.
Over the years, more and more
And again, you can't say no.
And then Mackie wants me to make
sure there's no police presence
on the night
that Jack's plant gets stolen.
Cos that
that's-that's what he does.
Mackie has to keep you close.
He-He has to keep a rein on you.
So, while Lee's
dismantling the plant,
Daniel's arranging shipment
with Keith.
Only that wasn't happening
fast enough,
so we were stuck
with shipping containers
full of stolen gear on our patch
and Jack's getting irate,
cos he's running out of money,
and it's a bad combination,
it's volatile.
So Mackie calls everybody
in for a meeting, and
then it all kicks-off.
You said a week
for the shipping, it's been a month!
I need the fucking money!
He said he's working on it.
I'm talking to him, not you!
Ports have tightened security,
there's procedures!
Oh, well, why didn't I guess
that this was gonna happen!
What's he fucking doing here?
Jack, he's here to help, OK?
Ease off.
"Ease off"? Fucking twat!
What did you say?
It's OK. OK.
We all need you to get your money,
Jack,
cos if your stolen equipment
gets stopped in transit
or found in situ -
you could go to prison for fraud.
And then they'll be looking
at your dealings with Sarah.
And before you know it,
everyone in this room
will be under investigation -
so let's
lower the temperature. Yeah?
And you as well,
cos we've got a solution
that helps buy time
to help you navigate
these new procedures.
Sarah.
New plan - new offer.
The council has a brownfield site
that needs decontaminating
and I can arrange for you
to get that contract.
If, you lend us the hundred grand
that's sitting in your bank account.
Oh, c'mon,
doesn't stop bragging about it!
Short-term loan, and you
get the contract from the council.
Only proviso, I need that money now.
Get it from the council,
get it from her.
You're gonna make the most
out of this.
We're doing this for the town.
Oh, fuck off!
You're in it for the money
and she's bigging herself up.
Good luck, I'm sorry,
but we're not interested!
Hang on a second, Dan
No, no!
If he goes bust and we've given him
all our money,
that's us cleaned out!
No.
When the investors sign up,
you'll make a killing -
then there's the insurance money,
if you pull your fucking finger out!
I said no.
Go on, then
..what's your offer?
110k back -
one month from now.
120k
and a 60-40 split
in our favour on the shipment.
120
55-45.
But I need proof
that you've got that money
and I need it in my account
first thing in the morning.
OK. You want proof
What you doing?
Hang on a second. OK.
Here you go! Here's the money.
No. No. Don't show him anything!
OK, break this up
Fuck off, Mackie!
No!
Enough! Calm down!
What are you doing?!
Give us the phone and you
can have your knife back. Give!
Put that down!
Give!
Take the fucking thing!
Put that knife down!
Stop! Stop! Stop it now!
Let me see. Let me see.
No! No!
Stop now!
No-one's leaving -
we're all staying.
What? So we can watch your wife
with Jack?
You like to watch, do you?
Eh?
Don't fucking stir it, Dan!
Let me see,
let me see, let me see.
Oh, Jesus Christ!
Dan? Dan!
Lee-Lee-Lee, get off him.
Don't touch him.
Pat, move away. Get back!
CPR.
Somebody-Somebody give him CPR.
Don't touch him! No-one touch him!
I'm calling an ambulance!
Oi! Are you out of your mind!
He's died from a blow to the head,
so this is gonna be
a full murder inquiry, all right?
Forensics are gonna be
all over this.
'Ey, listen, you could've been seen
coming here,
any of us could,
so we stop and we do nothing
..or we're all in the shit.
It's gone.
The money you wanted.
It's all gone.
That's why
he didn't want me to see it.
So, Mackie killed Daniel?
And then the two of you,
police officers,
are covering it up because
you've been taking back handers
for doing God knows what!
It wasn't like that.
Oh, what's it like, Pat?
All I had to do was to make sure
that there were no vehicle checks
on the night, that's it.
Can you hear yourself?
It's no different than you putting
the DNA into that ancestry site.
What?!
You broke the law,
because you thought
you were doing what was right.
Do not try and justify it, Pat.
There is no justification!
Mackie and Sarah fostered Lee
when he was a kid.
They had him for 15 months.
Lee loved it with them,
but he had to move on,
and then seven, eight years ago,
Mackie and I find this bloke,
he's stealing quad-bikes
and power-tools off a farm.
It was Lee.
Right, so instead of busting him,
you what, joined in?
Mackie gave him a second chance!
Lee is a success story,
Mackie had completely
turned him around -
Nanta's fully legit.
He's got 600 grand's worth
of stolen equipment
out at his place!
How much do you stand to make
from this insurance scam?
I don't know.
How much?
Three or four grand.
But it hasn't always been like that.
Over the years it's been
it's been next to nothing.
Right, and this "next to nothing"
is what exactly?
Well, I've never touched it.
I put it into a savings account
for when you and I
were gonna started a family.
How much?
Twenty-one grand.
Piece of shit.
Who else is involved?
Gibson, that's all.
Gibbo. Quality officer.
And I'm having a baby with you.
God, I wish this wasn't yours!
Don't say that.
I will fucking say it, Pat!
Because I know
that being a police officer
is about serving your community,
all right? I know what that means!
And you have put all your energy
into protecting yourself
and fucking Jack and Sarah
and Mackie.
What I did was wrong
and I can see that, but I
I tried, didn't I?
Said we should get a transfer,
we should just move away!
Who put Daniel's body in the lift?
Where was it going?
I don't know.
I-I-I had nothing to do with that.
I didn't want any part of it.
What about Chris Robinson,
the caretaker?
I don't know anything about that.
Do you think he killed himself?
Yes. Probably.
And what about the hit and run
on Mum?
Any views on that?
Because I'm just thinking
that you and Jack
and Sarah and Mackie,
you all actually
had quite a lot to lose
from Mum speaking out
against Jack's land deals.
Oh, God, and there you all were,
coming to see how she was!
I was there because I care.
Because I was shocked.
I love Moll!
Great, thank you (!)
Unfortunately, you're a bent copper.
You're weak,
and you're a fucking liar.
Yeah.
Well, let me tell you.
Do you wanna know
the most corrupt officer
that I've ever worked for,
the one who bent the rules the most?
Your dad.
He fitted people up.
He planted evidence.
He perjured himself in court
his whole career.
You're lying.
God's honest.
You're a fucking liar!
Jo. Jo!
Jo!
I mean, he only did it to nail
the ones who need taking down,
the ones who always
get away with it.
Jo.
Jo!
I'm saying
he did what he felt he had to do!
They've flooded ten miles up river.
It's coming.
So every officer's
to have another officer
in their field of vision
at all times.
If you can't see one, find one.
You're looking after each other
as well as the public.
Off you go.
And keep in constant comms.
We just raided Lee's place.
I couldn't call, I were never alone.
Lee got away, though
..but he's armed.
Yep?
'Jo, I've just seen Lee Ellison.'
We've just raided his place
and the red Toyota was there
with flood crap inside and out.
So you were right, Jo.
Right all along.
I saw him driving off getting away.
And fucking hell, Jo,
he's got a gun.
Lee?
Lee.
You didn't call.
I had no idea.
I didn't know
they were gonna raid you.
Yeah?
No call. No warning.
Nothing.
There's a flood coming.
I was tied up.
I was out of the loop,
but I'm here now.
And they know you've got a gun -
which will trigger
a firearms' response, yeah?
So get away.
Now, where are you?
Why do you need to know?
Cos if you're in the vicinity you
can maybe get your money on the way.
Daniel had a girlfriend.
He has a girlfriend
and she's with William Caine.
Give me the address.
Yes?
You haven't seen Jo?
No, why?
What's the matter?
I called you.
I called you repeatedly!
This is all is too much!
It's-It's out of control
and then-then Jo shows up
And what?
And she knows everything.
She knows what I know.
Look, look, look, look.
Keith's still being interviewed,
he won't say anything.
We're OK there.
Find her!
Off you go, that's it. Good girl.
Pat?
Moll, have you seen Jo?
No, we're not talking. Well, I am,
but she won't call me back, so
OK, if you see her, can you get
her to call me, and hang onto her?
Why?
Moll, just do it!
All right, all right.
Moll, we're needed
at the school. Yeah.
Have you found Jo?
Been called back in by Roy.
For what?
He didn't say.
Wait there. Sarah! Sarah!
Lee's been raided.
They've got the shipment
No. Yeah. And he's on the run,
and he's armed.
Have you spoken to him?
Well, I told him to get away.
Yeah. Yeah, good. Look
Pat's told Jo everything!
I know!
So, what do we do, Mack?
If this gets out,
it will all come tumbling down.
It can't. It mustn't.
Come on, you've gotta
get a hold of this.
I know. I will.
I will.
Just watch me
Take control. Get a grip.
It's what you're good at.
So, if they're going after Lee,
that's good, that's that's fine.
That's the big distraction
while we find Jo and talk to her,
talk her round.
That's it, good lad. All right,
do you know where you're going?
Straight the way down.
Keep going up the hill!
Molly.
Yeah.
Moll, have you seen Jo?
No. What, you and Pat?
What's going on?
Do you know where she is?
No, but why does everybody want Jo?
What's she done?
Hey! You should've cleared
this area by now!
All members of the public away
from here. These as well. Come on!
Up the hill!
Mackie, need to meet.
'Meet, no'
Usual place.
'Meet me there now. Be there.'
Whose is this bag? Is that
your bag? There's two bags here.
What're you doing? You should be
as far away from here as possible
Yeah, I know.
Look, you should've been warned.
We let you down, all right,
but listen, they know you're armed!
Because I am fucking armed!
So just go.
Did you get your money?
No.
Where's Jo Marshall?
Mackie, where is Jo Marshall?
I saw her sneaking around
the shipping containers
at mine yesterday.
She got me raided.
So, where is she?
I don't know. We don't know.
We're looking for her too.
You are? Why?
Because Pat Holman's
told her everything.
Why?
He's married to her.
What?
Fuck!
Lee, you can't go after her.
Lee, leave her. I'll talk to her.
But you need to go.
They'll have firearm units out.
Pat? Release Tasha Eden. NFA.
I'll take it from here.
Just have a few more questions
I need you to answer
Oi!
When I say clear the area,
you are included. And you. Now move!
Clear the area.
I think the levee's gonna hold.
Crashing down on top of you
might be preferable.
Lee's place has been raided.
You're gonna get your construction
plant back, the whole lot.
So no insurance pay-out.
All three containers.
So that's you financially fucked,
I reckon.
You know, I'd be careful
if I were you.
Because if they come after me,
and I end up in prison,
I might have to just tell 'em
about a police officer
who committed a murder.
You do that, and they'll go,
"Oh, right,
"so you helped cover up a death,
did you?"
And who's gonna stand to gain
the most out of concealing that?
You, not me. You.
So just relax, though. All right?
Now, I can't save your business.
But I will keep you out of prison.
Just like I saved your arse
the other night.
Remember, he had a knife.
You were out of control.
I was in control.
I am in control.
That's for fucking my wife.
Stay in line.
Oh, shit!
'Hi, this is Amy. Sorry I can't
take your call right now.
'Please leave a message,
and I'll call you back.'
Get in.
Get off me!
Give me the fucking phone!
Give me the phone!
Where's Amy? Where's the baby?
Fuck, Jo. They're evacuated.
They're up at the school.
I put 'em in a cab.
But I took her phone too, didn't I?
Because I fucking knew, if she
needed help, then you would come.
Because you're a good little copper,
in't you?
Eh? Such a good cop.
You played me
from the fucking start! No.
Every inch of the way. No.
You set me up, eh? Yeah, you did.
No.
You led 'em straight to me!
You've lied from the start.
Fuck, you're married to Pat Holman!
You've cost me everything.
Everything I had was
in that fucking container.
I never said anything to anyone
about you.
I should've done.
But I said nothing.
I stayed true
to what I said I was doing.
I was just trying to find out
who killed Daniel,
and you knew who that was all along.
You have done nothing BUT lie!
So, who's shopped me, then, eh?
Was it Pat?
Oh, fucking hell.
Pat protected you at my expense.
He gave 'em Tasha
so that she'd tell them about me
and buy the rest of you some time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
Gave 'em Tasha when? When?
Today. Earlier today.
Wait. Wait,
she thinks you killed Daniel.
Lee, where are you going?
What are you doing?
Lee, look, if you're thinking
of running, don't.
Just stop, talk to me.
Get out!
Turn the engine off.
Get out the car!
Just listen to me. Hand yourself in,
and I will speak for you.
I'll come with you.
I'll vouch for you.
Fuck!
No, Lee, running is only
gonna end badly.
Lee, it's it's not a police car.
It's a paramedic.
Gold star. Excellent. Banging.
Thanks.
Oh, what happened to you?
Eh? Oh, nothing, I slipped.
Oh, God. The levee failed.
Hey, no, it wasn't the levee.
The levee held. It worked.
It's coming up through the drains.
Yeah, from last night's rain,
coming down the hill
off the Uplands.
Don't have a go.
No, why not? You're using us
Molly
..as yer very own drainage ditch.
Molly Nice!
Molly, don't. You're why I'm here.
Right, I'll let you in over there.
Come on.
OK. Ta.
I'm Jo Marshall's husband.
I beg your pardon?
I need you to call her
from your phone
so that she can see that it's you.
I'm worried about her.
She is why I'm here.
No, that was me. I did that.
You're why I'm here?
Mm-hm.
But only she knew
Oh, I see. She told you.
OK.
That's two reasons why
I won't phone her for you then.
Please.
No.
Call her for me and you can go.
I don't have my phone with me.
They took it off me when I arrived.
Careful!
Look, what you've done isn't
nothing, and I'm not condoning it,
but if you co-operate,
they will broker a deal.
Not for what I've done.
You don't know half of it, Jo.
I do. It's not just
the insurance scam, is it?
I know that you put Daniel's body
in the lift.
That's why you were in town
to save the baby that day.
And that red Toyota
that's out at your place now,
that's the car that got caught
in the flood in the car park.
All right? I saw it
when we found Daniel's body.
And then, in the crime scene photos,
it wasn't there,
and I didn't understand that,
but I do now.
Because Gibbo was there, wasn't he?
So you, I assume, what,
came in this? You towed it away?
And that's risky. SOCOs could have
arrived at any moment.
And Chris Robinson
would've been there
He definitely would've seen you
And the Chris I knew would've
helped, so what did you tell him?
No, Gibbo would have
told him something.
Chris loved helping us.
You were the last person I was with
before I found Chris's body.
You were at Tasha's hotel.
You were upset.
You'd been drinking.
You said it was the shock
of finding out that Daniel
had been murdered.
But you knew how he died,
you were there when he died.
So, why were you upset, Lee?
Where had you been before we met!
Just drop it, Jo! All right?
Just leave it.
Stop it, OK?
Lee!
Whoa!
Tasha, please. Please.
Non!
Ca suffit. That's enough.
Is that clear?
Next town down's flooded,
Calden Vale,
and it's coming up through
the drains down the hill here.
I mean, only up to the shins, but
Deepa!
You saw Lee Ellison, yes?
Side on, from a distance, sir,
but I was running.
Firearms officers want you with them
to identify him if required.
With me.
Only ID him
if you're a hundred percent sure.
Two hundred percent!
Let me see your head. Turn to me.
Ow.
I'm early. I can't be.
I think I'm going into labour.
I'll get help.
Jesus, I don't feel right.
I did kill him.
I did kill Chris Robinson.
What? Why?
What for?
I'm sorry.
I was just supposed to go
to speak to him, just to scare him,
to stop him helping you.
And he was drinking, and you know,
he just kept drinking,
and saying how much
he was helping you,
how much he likes you.
He wouldn't stop.
Mackie said he's a menace
and he won't shut up,
he's gonna keep on fucking.
Lee
..talking and talking to people.
Lee, was Mackie there?
I had to call him,
I didn't know what to do.
And then he came
and he didn't know what to do.
Then he said it would probably
just be best if, you know
..if he'd killed himself,
and he was just out of the way.
I'm so sorry.
Lee, look, you'd never have done
what you'd did
if Mackie hadn't been there.
No, it was my decision.
It was my choice, Jo. No, Lee.
That's Mackie, that's coercion.
No, listen.
Anything good
that has come in my life
has come because of Mackie.
Look, he used you.
No, he's not used me, Jo!
He's not. You don't understand.
When no-one sees you,
when no-one loves you,
and then someone does,
someone sees you
He used you.
..and they see the worth in you, Jo.
He exploited you.
No.
Please, don't.
You don't understand.
Lee, listen, I saw you too, OK?
I saw you too and I saw a hero.
You saved that baby, Lee,
your instinct is to do good.
Lee
It's OK. OK. I'm gonna get help.
Lee. Lee.
Lee just rang me on Jo's phone
and he left a message.
He said, "Baby."
What?
He said, "Baby."
But I'm out of power, I don't
have power. What else did he say?
I only heard, "Baby." I'm sorry.
Oh, no. How long since he rang?
Three, four minutes.
Hey, it'll be OK.
OK.
'Tash, listen.
'Jo's having her baby.
'But we've been in a crash
near Calden Vale.'
They're not here!
Perhaps someone found them.
Jo? Jo?!
Jo?
Jo, where are you?
I'm here!
I'm OK. We're OK.
I think we need to go
to the hospital.
It's all right, it's all right.
Hey, Moll, Moll,
you're gonna get
your rain gardens. Look.
Uplands has won
that eco housing award.
Investors are piling in.
You'll have holding ponds galore!
Come here.
No, no, no, no.
Sorry, sorry, hang on,
does this mean
we're gonna get Uplands 2 again?
Well, yeah.
Oh, God, just look at you.
Do you know what the crying shame
about you is, Jack?
You're a half-decent bloke
when things are going badly.
When you're on the up,
you're an absolute dick.
That's not very nice, is it?
No, and neither is flooding people
out of their homes.
God, I hope you get elected, Molly.
I really do,
because then you might realise
things aren't quite as simple
as you seem to think they are.
Go Go on,
go back to your Uplands.
Go on, I'm done with you.
Go on, go and cosy up
with Sarah Mackie.
Oh, please.
Right, where's my daughter?
And don't be so fucking rude
this time!
Yeah.
Oh, Jack, watch out. I've really got
something to fight for this time.
Chou minette.
And you.
Can't stop thinking about Lee.
No.
I'll come and see you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Pat loves you very much.
Au revoir, jeune papa.
Bye. And thank you.
Jo!
Oh. You see the baby before I do.
Charming (!)
Oh, Jo.
Oh. Oh, Well done.
Thank you.
Well done. And you.
Let me have her. Give her here.
Oh, God, Jo.
Oh, my God. Come on, little one.
Aw.
Have you got her?
Oh, she's gorgeous.
Ooh, hello!
Hello, little lamb.
Hello, sweet pea.
Oh, who do you look like?
Whose eyes have you got?
Oh, long as you've not got
Bren's ears.
No, you're fine.
Oh, if your dad
could see this one, Jo.
Oh, I'm in love. Oh!
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Let's go for a walk.
Listen
No, me first, yeah?
Sorry, I
I'm gonna ask Mum if me and Eve
can stay with her for a while.
I-I know that you love me.
And I love you, I do, but
..we have so much
that we have to talk about.
And living with a new baby,
it's just not gonna work.
And we also need to decide
what we're gonna do next.
Lee told me
that he killed Chris Robinson
to stop him talking,
and Mackie was with him
when he did it.
Yeah.
'Ey up.
Congratulations to you both.
Here.
Sarah saw that a while back.
It's gonna be OK, all right?
We'll have questions to answer,
of course, but I'm working on that.
But don't worry,
we'll all be singing
from the same hymn book,
and all roads will lead to Lee.
Do you have any worries,
any questions?
No.
Good.
No, I'm saying no.
Jo, Jo, Lee's gone. He's gone.
And I'm sad as anyone, but this way,
we can make it all right.
You killed Daniel Eden
and you had Lee kill Chris Robinson.
Daniel Eden was an accident.
Tell her.
And Chris Robinson hanged himself.
No, you had Lee hang him
to cover your tracks.
Why would you say that?
Lee told me what happened.
He was dying when he told me.
Jo, Lee was a troubled soul.
You do know that, don't you?
Yeah, and you're a bent cop.
No, I'm a good cop.
I serve my community.
You know, we are all doing
the best we can
in a in a system
that doesn't work anymore.
And anything and everything I do
is for the good of others,
it's for the people I serve.
You're bent. You're corrupt.
You are, Pat is, my dad was.
Stop. Stop, Jo, stop, please.
Cos I love you dearly,
but this is a warning, all right?
If you break ranks
and report anything to anyone,
you will be pressing
the self-destruct button,
because everything you've done
since the flood
..using Daniel's DNA,
finding his sister,
returning to the car park,
probing Chris Robinson,
wanting a key to that room,
getting Deepa involved,
these things
are why Chris Robinson died.
These.
Cos any investigation would, could
or might have caused an unravelling.
I mean, in other words,
and this is the truth you'd expose,
Chris Robinson's death
was your fault.
It's your fault, Jo.
Because quite simply,
if you'd kept out of it
and followed police procedure,
he'd still be alive.
Wow.
It's the truth.
Yeah.
And to protect your truth,
would you take out
anyone who threatened it?
Because I'm just thinking,
my mum was on her way to your house
after she spoke out
at the town hall,
and the car that hit her
was coming from that direction.
Yeah, it's joy-riders.
Joy-riders. You know,
it's a traffic police investigation.
Joy-riders was their conclusion,
not mine.
Finger off the button.
Don't do it.
I have documented every misdemeanour
and wrong step you've made,
and I will lay it all out
if I have to,
and you'll do time for it.
And Pat'll go down for a decade.
He's been taking paybacks for years.
And Molly'll lose her home, cos Bren
was on the take his whole career.
They'll wanna claw all that back.
You're so full of yourself,
aren't you?
You can't hold this together.
Wrong.
You think Jack's gonna get away with
his insurance scam?
Jack knew nothing about that.
I mean, what scam?
Right, well, we know otherwise.
"We"?
Who's we?
You think he's gonna back you up?
He knows there's no evidence.
He knows all you'll have is hearsay.
He knows Keith'll tow the line
and take what's coming.
Or do you wanna make Sophie
and Kelly lose their new home?
We're coming for you.
On your own, Jo.
You'll be on your own.
On my own, then.
And I will trash your dad's name,
and take you both to prison.
Deepa, as well, her too.
Deepa, who you corrupted.
When it comes down to it,
you're the same as your dad.
You've got a new baby.
Get on with the rest of your lives.
So, what do you wanna do?
I'll do anything you want.
Anything.
