Keeping Faith (2017) s01e06 Episode Script

1 I've lost Evan.
What do you think a woman like Faith Howell sees in Baldini? He's a bad man.
He's a client, he wants to help.
None of this is your fault, Faith.
What about our alibi witness? Was she for real? I can help you.
The price is 20,000 cash.
Evan and I had a deal.
3kg of best Colombian.
He had an empty file in the office.
Pedersen Plant.
Ring any bells? It's a lovely garden, Mr Davies.
It keeps me off the streets.
John! I'm so sorry! Faith.
Hi, Tom.
Been to John Davies'.
He died.
I'm sorry.
Faith, there's been a development.
They found Evan's car at Port Afan docks.
OK.
Faith.
Hi, Tom.
Are we sure it's his car? Yes, Mrs Howells.
We've verified the chassis number.
There's no sign of any personal effects.
The car has been vandalised.
Any idea why he might have driven here, a known suicide spot? Ma'am, erm .
.
can we have a minute, please? Fine.
Thank you.
There's no note, as far as we can see.
So, erm I saw Steve Baldini call at your house earlier this evening .
.
and, I found a bullet at your house, after the burglary.
Now, what was it doing there? Somebody Somebody put it through my letterbox the night before, with a note saying, "Keep quiet".
Why didn't you tell me?! Terry I'm going to have to tell Williams.
Faith, you're not helping yourself.
Who's that? DS Morgan, Swansea CID.
Whatever's happened to him, Terry, it's nothing whatsoever to do with me.
Price! I want you to start organising a search.
Mrs Howells, I'd like you to come with us.
I have a few things to clear up with you.
Are you arresting me, Susan? Not yet, Mrs Howells.
Thought not.
Terry.
Terry! What's going on? Erm, just a few questions.
Just routine.
I suppose we should expect the worst.
You let me know.
Thank you.
48 hours ago, we attended a burglary at your house.
A holster, we found in your garden.
It's a good fit for the gun we found in Gelli woods, last week.
Who might be the owner, you? Your friend .
.
Mr Baldini - he has a history with firearms, doesn't he? He was on trial for conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
And found not guilty.
We found a wig, too.
Care to share, how long your husband's been wearing one? Since he bought it, I suppose.
You travelled 20 miles to visit the dentist, yesterday.
Dr Meral Alpay, the alibi witness in Erin Glynn's murder trial.
I've toothache.
It's at the back.
And on the way back you visited Mr Baldini, dragged him off a building site.
What couldn't wait? Hmm? Give me one good reason not to arrest you on suspicion of murder.
You haven't got a body.
Not yet.
Don't touch me! I've got three children at home! Where's your evidence?! Where's your evidence?! Where's Faith? What's happened? She's fine.
And you are? Lisa Connors, a friend.
A word, please? Tell me what was going on between Mrs Howells and her husband before he went missing.
Nothing.
Well, every couple goes through the odd bad barren patch, don't they? Having problems, were they? No, no.
Well, Evan was seeing a counsellor for stress, but Faith didn't know anything about that.
Did Mrs Howells ever mention owning a gun? Serious Seriously? No.
Did you know Mr Howells owned a wig? Maybe.
Look, I'm not sure.
Tell me about Mrs Howells' relationship with Steve Baldini.
There isn't one.
He might fancy her a little bit, but .
.
there's no way she's interested.
But she never slept in separate beds? Listen, Faith would crawl over hot coals for Evan - and it was him who was going to strip clubs.
Tell me about that.
Faith didn't know anything about it, not until after he disappeared, anyway - and, look, it was just one, in Swansea.
Where's Mammy? We'll be in touch, Mrs Connors.
Yes, lovely, thanks.
Where's Mam? She'll be back later, sweetie.
She's just helping the police.
Erm, what did you hear, just then? Nothing.
Night, sweetie.
Night.
Williams is here.
Come and look at this.
Shotgun cartridges.
He's not dead.
I know he's not.
Love? Why didn't you tell me you've been taking pills? You've been going through my things? No, no.
It was sticking out your bag.
You must've done.
You've got no right to! What were you doing with napkin rings? Sorry? Is it the pills? Are they making you do strange things? Because maybe you should lay off them.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
They were in your bag.
Oh, shut up, Terry! Love, don't be like that.
I am not a child! What do you want? Is Faith in? She's not answering her phone.
No.
Come on.
She's been arrested - and from what I can work out .
.
that's mostly your fault.
I was just trying to help her.
Well, that worked well, didn't it? Leave her alone.
Mrs Howells.
You found it? No.
Let's go.
Right.
Strip clubs? Things were getting a bit stale, were they? These hobbies don't come free.
You're a sharp woman, Mrs Howells.
You must've kept an eye on the family finances.
No, I should have, shouldn't I? But I didn't.
What's Baldini to you? Revenge? I know what you are to him.
Cashing out with you beats robbing post offices.
If you can find me five minutes in a day when I can conduct an affair, I'd be very grateful to you, inspector.
Like most lawyers, Mrs Howells, you only like the facts that suit you.
You've never forgiven me, have you? I'd like my phone call now, please.
In a minute.
Price.
When are we getting the forensics on Evan Howells' car? What's taking so long, what's wrong with you?! Ma'am, she is entitled to a call.
She'll have it when I say she can! Social services, please.
Come on, girls! I don't want to be late.
Right, come on, then.
He wants Mammy.
Yeah, I know he wants Mammy! You all right? You want a hand, or? Yeah? You look different, Arthur.
Aye, I scrub up all right, don't I? What do you think, huh? Hey.
All right, Rhodri? Give us a smile, man.
Mammy's been arrested.
Has she? Well Hey, I'll tell you what.
I'll come on the school run with you.
Have a big of a sing-song.
What do you think, yeah? Hey, might cheer them up a bit.
Come on, then, come on.
All aboard the Skylark, come on.
Seat belts on.
Don't want to be late for RE, do you? Where's Faith? She was arrested.
What? I've not heard a word from her.
So, who's that? He's asked not to be disturbed.
Cerys Oh, hi, Cerys.
Just some old correspondence.
Pedersen, old clients of mine.
Long gone.
Can I see? No, it's confidential.
Family matters.
I promised him.
Hi, where are you? Oh, Jesus.
I'll be there now.
I've got to go to Port Afan, we'll discuss this later.
What's the matter, Tom? All I've got left is the small amount of respect I've earned in this town.
Maybe it shouldn't matter, then.
It does.
You'll always have my respect.
Thank you.
Would you leave me alone, now, please, Delyth? Faith Howells.
Room three.
I need to speak to my client, alone.
Now.
Out! Right.
What have they got? They've got, sorry Sorry.
They I just Just really worried about my children.
Right, everyone's fine, I spoke to Lisa, the girls are at school, Rhodri's fine.
OK? Yeah.
So, just bits and pieces of circumstantial, and a lot of wishful thinking, right? Yeah.
Then there's no case.
You say nothing.
No, that bitch's not going to be happy until I do 25.
Faith.
Look at me.
Yeah.
Look at me! Perspective.
This is a try-on.
You keep that zipped, and we will walk, I promise you.
Right.
Good morning, Ms Jones.
Are you ready for us? Fire away.
The morning after the burglary at your house.
No comment.
You don't look like a woman with a toothache.
Half an hour later, you were here No comment.
.
.
and then you drove through here.
Stephen Baldini, 28 previous convictions, including possession of an unlicensed shotgun, theft, burglary, and supplying a controlled substance to a minor.
No comment.
She's saying nothing.
You can charge her, or release her.
There's no hurry, you can go back to your cell for a while, Mrs Howells.
Hold on.
I've got 16 hours left in which to make up my mind.
Fine.
If you lock her up, I'm going in with her.
Be my guest.
Come on, then.
Let's go! Let's go, let's go, let's go! I need to see you.
I found Tom shredding documents this morning.
He claimed they were old papers from a case called Pedersen.
Pedersen? That was one of Evan's, I found an empty file with that name on it.
What kind of? He wouldn't let me see.
He's the straightest guy I know.
Faith.
That picture of you and Steve Baldini? Oh, we were just about to have a shag in the cement mixer.
I was asking him about an alibi - and you know, I know, I know he has done bad things Oh, guns, drugs.
He's trying to turn his life around, and he's .
.
he's kind.
He found out that Alpay's still working for the Glynns.
As what? That's all he said.
Good news, Mrs Howells, we're releasing you on bail.
You're free to go, for now.
Yeah, because you've got no evidence.
You'll be lucky if we don't bloody sue.
I'm watching you.
Alys' history project.
Did she take it in this morning? No? OK.
Doesn't matter.
My battery is about to die now, so I'll see you later, OK? OK.
OK, then.
The children know I was arrested.
I've been telling them that he's going to come home.
Faith, Evan's responsible for all of this, OK? As much as I like the guy, I think we both have to accept that he's gone.
It's over.
Time to move on.
Yeah.
When was that? Call me back when you hear more.
How is your daughter-in-law? Standing up to the pressure? I .
.
heard about her association with Steve Baldini.
What do you make of it? Tell me about him.
Hey.
I tried to call you.
Social services have taken the kids.
They came just after we spoke.
Two women and a policeman.
Rhodri was OK.
They were nice with him .
.
and they'd already been to the school to get the girls.
Faith, I'm so I don't know what lies you and your protection team have been told, Mrs Foster, but my husband has been missing for nearly a week now and I am I am all my children have.
They need me, they need me.
I will be calling into your home later to explain the situation.
Megan, in particular, she has been in a very anxious state.
I'll also need to collect Should never have happened.
.
.
some clothes and belongings.
Would five o'clock suit? Yeah.
Good.
I'll see you then, Mrs Howells.
No, please What did you tell them? They just asked how the girls had been.
Let's hope it's all a misunderstanding.
My children.
Gave you all that you needed You cut but I'm bleeding And all of my strength I gave to you I loved completely You lose then you leave me And all of my hope I left with you too But I gave my heart whole, I did I gave my heart And although it's lost It is still beating And I gave my whole soul, I did I gave my soul And although I'm broken I am still breathing I will sleep through the moments All the moments you've stolen All for my love I'll learn the truth Sorry.
Sorry.
I was just keeping an eye on the place, that's all.
The gate was open, see? So I .
.
and I heard you'd a run-in with the law, like.
I helped Lisa off with the drop-off this morning.
She was struggling, like, you know? You don't look well, do you? You look smart.
Aye, you know? New shirt, isn't it? Does the trick, like.
They've taken my children away.
Jesus I Come here.
Come here.
I've got social services on the phone three times asking questions.
They have to.
I gave them Tom's number.
I don't know where he is.
He's upset.
He's convinced himself that Evan went into the sea.
Like Alec Fenton.
He probably just needs some time, Mum, alone, to think.
Have you offered to have the kids? I thought you might.
How much have you had? I have a client to meet.
What can you do, Mam? Just let it go.
Hello, again.
It is you.
Weren't you looking for a family house last time? Twins on the way? Slight change of plan.
OK.
Right, so, here we are.
Oh That's new.
Whatever floats your boat.
The owner is such a quiet little man.
Maybe we shouldn't look into the basement.
There's a basement? No.
I don't know, maybe there is.
It would do.
Is the owner open to offers? What are you thinking? I have to crunch the numbers.
All a bit up in the air at the moment.
Your wife, she's staying in London, is she? That's where the boyfriend is.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's her problem.
I can please myself, run my business from anywhere.
Here is as good a place as any.
Do you think he'd mind? Er I don't know.
To not giving a shit.
To not giving a shit.
Sorry! You don't want this flat.
I don't? No.
The neighbour is a grumpy cow, the whole block is riddled with dry rot.
Can't shift the bugger.
You are my kind of agent! One for the road? Yes, please.
A friend of yours, or Evan defended the girl who shot him.
Erin Glynn.
Minor legend.
Surprised Evan got mixed up with her.
A client is a client.
Especially if they're worth a bob or two, isn't it? Oh, no.
Social services.
What? Quick, quick, hide.
You can't be here.
Hide.
Go, go, go.
Shit! Mrs Howells? Yes.
Carol Foster.
Good afternoon.
Come in.
Thank you.
I see you've got their things ready.
That's very thoughtful of you.
Well, I'm their mother.
Now, Mrs Howells, you've seen the grounds for the order.
Yes.
The children are being removed to a place of safety while we feel they are still in imminent danger.
Of what? Of having one too many Weetabix? You are on police bail, Mrs Howells, for a very serious offence.
Your associate, Mr Baldini, has a history of firearm and drug offences.
He's a client.
Well, we understand he's a regular visitor.
Since when have the courts, since when have they dragged children from their homes, then, on the back of idle gossip? When has that happened? You're living here alone at the moment, are you? Since my husband disappeared six days ago, yes, I do.
I see.
Sorry.
Arthur Davies, pretty criminal and persistent vagrant.
I've moved in next door.
Arthur's just a friend.
He just called round.
I see.
He's just a friend.
Unfortunately, Mrs Howells, it seems we may have a way to go before I can recommend the return of your children.
Well, I'll see you in court, then.
Yes.
OK.
Nice to meet you.
Sorry.
What's the bloody point? Tom Howells.
Evan's father.
Mr Baldini.
Yeah.
What can I do for you? I believe you know my daughter-in-law.
She's my brief, as was Evan.
The police suspect her of murdering my son, together with you.
Social services have removed her children.
Why? You could tell me what's been going on.
I told her I saw Evan getting into a car with Erin Glynn and her cousins in Swansea about three weeks ago.
Something about it didn't look right.
I've been looking around, that's all.
Do you have feelings towards Faith, Mr Baldini? No.
I mean .
.
she's just a good person, like Evan.
Please stay away from her.
I'd be very grateful.
What? I know about the children.
I'm going to the police.
Screw Evan.
Screw the firm.
Screw everything.
I want my kids back.
Gail Reardon came to the kids' school with a bag full of cocaine that Evan had agreed to buy from her.
He's a lost cause.
Faith Faith! Faith! Wait a minute! Faith, wait! I know why you're doing this but it's not safe, believe me.
Wait! Listen to me! The Glynns just beat people up, usually, but the Reardons kill people.
The family has got tentacles all over.
They will find you and they will bury you.
What do you suggest I do, then? Find 120 grand to pay her off? Think about it.
Evan's not a criminal, you know that.
He has been tricked, used, whatever.
If Alpay says she knows something, you've got to hear it.
What if he's still alive and being held somewhere? You go in there? It could mean a bullet in his head.
OK? What are you doing? Buying you some time.
Go, go! DI Williams, please.
Mr Baldini.
To what do we owe the pleasure? You were looking for me.
Alpay.
It's Faith Howells.
I've reconsidered your offer.
Evan helped me out of a tight spot.
I tried to repay the favour.
What did she want? Don't look too bad, do I? Evan had some heavy clients, she wanted to know if I'd heard anything, had he made any enemies? Had he? I said I'd look around.
Where were you last Wednesday morning? I was up three flights of scaffold with a bucket of muck.
Do either of these .
.
belong to you? No.
You and guns have quite a history, Mr Baldini.
May I? I'm offering to try this holster on for size.
I'm about a 44.
I'd say you were looking for a 38.
Why have you got shotgun cartridges at your home? I like to go shooting.
The odd rabbit.
Without a licence? It's one of my mates, up at his farm.
You've heard about Mrs Howells' children.
Social services don't much like the idea of you being around kids.
They're worried about your little girl now .
.
and I'm going to have to tell them you're still very much under suspicion.
Don't you dare.
You could try telling the truth.
Oh, dear.
Your temper is nearly as bad as your girlfriend's! Oh, hiya.
Sorry I'm so late.
Daddy wants to know about Faith.
What about her? Is she a serious suspect, Terry? You must have had evidence to arrest her.
Tom, you know I can't disclose anything.
We are family.
Terry.
Her friend Baldini is a criminal.
Right.
There was a gun found in Gelli woods .
.
and a holster in Faith's garden .
.
but that doesn't prove anything.
I see why there was concern over the poor children.
Will you ring me? Of course.
What about us having the children? How can we? We've got lives of our own.
She's meeting someone tonight.
A woman called Alpay, I'm going with her.
Out in the sticks somewhere.
Yeah, will do.
All right, that's your lot.
20K, give or take.
This is the stupidest thing I've done since licking a toilet seat.
A dare.
It'll be dark, she won't even notice.
I don't know if she's even going to tell the truth.
She lied in a murder trial.
Chin up.
What have you got to lose, man? Our last 4K.
Might be the best money you've ever spent.
Tell you what.
Dare you to run through the street naked.
Just your thong, then.
Someone on Facebook said a body had been found.
I don't think Bethan will take the children.
No.
She's not the maternal type.
I can't bear much more of this.
Come on.
Come on, where is she? Do you think you still love Evan? What? After all this? You pick your moments, don't you? Stay down.
20,000.
Well? Look, it was all a big mistake.
I never wanted to get involved with Dewi Glynn and the girl .
.
but I needed the money.
So they paid me to give evidence.
A lot of money .
.
and afterwards they offered me more, doing business.
What kind of business? Pharmaceutical.
Evan did the deal between us.
I trusted him.
We were in the same boat with the Glynns .
.
and then .
.
some detective came knocking, wanting money every week.
I told Evan, he said he'd deal with it.
Which detective? A woman, short.
Who is that? What? That's just That's just a friend.
I said only you.
No, no, no.
You lied.
Come out.
It's just Alpay, please, listen.
Please, please.
Shit! Please! Alpay! Bloody idiot! I'm sorry.
Oh! That's Alpay's car.
And your four grand, aye.
It's Williams.
Get down.
Get down.
Come on, we've got to go.
No, no.
We can't just leave.
We can't go.
She's dead.
She's dead.
Think about your kids, right? You can't be seen to be involved with this.
We've got to go.
You've got to go, OK? Come on.
There's been an accident.
They just They shot off the road.
You need to go, now.
You weren't here.
Williams must have been Williams must have been tailing us, and .
.
Alpay, she said that she was paying She was paying off a corrupt detective.
She said it was She looked so frightened.
It was like she she knew that something was I should have done something! Should have done something, Arthur! Williams would have called for help, what could we have done? What could we have done? Just drive the car.
We're going to be fine, I promise you, we are going to be fine.
The push and pull of it The wonderful of it There's no pretending that we do not ever fall for it The water falls A rock slides Nothing left Nowhere to hide The water falls A rock slides Nothing left Nowhere to hide Oh, no, we fall down again Yeah, oh, no, we fall down Oh, no, we fall down again Yeah, oh, no, we fall down Oh, no, we fall down again We fall down We fall down.
