Hidden/Craith (2018) s01e08 Episode Script

There was a man.
He lived with his mother and daughter.
There was something about him.
Leave me alone.
Look for Dylan Harris.
I have him.
- So do I.
He's our man.
Come with me.
I'll look after you.
This is all my fault.
Go.
Now.
The little girl would have seen everything from here.
She's in the best place now.
She's safe.
That's something.
Ma'am? I know you think I should have listened to you.
But we had no reason to suspect him.
I told you there was something off about him.
He answered our questions.
- I know.
But while we were sat in that house asking stupid questions Megan Ruddock was under our noses.
Have you spoken to someone about this? Only DI John.
We surrounded the area and released Dylan Harris' name to the media.
Uniforms are going house-to-house warning people to be careful.
What about Iona Harris? - She's not talking.
I didn't think she would.
Why don't you head back to base? You might get something out of her.
Who knows.
She might tell us where Dylan is.
Oh, boss.
Is what I hear about Alun Pryce true? He was arrested and charged last night.
Shit.
How are you? I spoke to the doctor but she wouldn't tell me anything.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this.
Whatever that man did to you - He didn't rape me if you're worried.
Megan, please.
I just want you to know you can speak to me.
I've never been able to.
I've never been good enough for you, Mam.
That's not true.
It's true and you know it.
The night it happened, I was trying to come home.
I couldn't.
I couldn't catch the train because I didn't want to see the disappointment on your face again.
I just left the station and walked and walked.
When I saw the lights of the truck coming I just stepped into the road.
I wanted it all to stop.
Dylan.
What the What are you doing here? What's going on? Dylan.
Have you done something? Where are you going? I won't hurt you.
Dylan, please.
Please.
For Christ's sake, leave me alone.
What the fuck have you done, Dylan? What are you doing? Phone for an ambulance.
Phone someone.
Help me.
- This is your fault.
I didn't want to hurt you.
Call an ambulance.
You have to stay still.
Stop moving.
Please, call an ambulance.
I don't want to die.
I said shut up.
Shut up.
This is everything I have on Iona and Dylan Harris.
There isn't much.
They kept to themselves.
What about Nia? - Nothing.
There's no birth certificate or medical records.
There's nothing to suggest she exists officially.
Okay.
Thanks, Alys.
Hi, Dad What's up? I've seen the news, Cad.
Is it him? Have you caught him? We're still looking.
But it is him.
It is him.
Dad, please.
You know I can't talk about this on the phone.
You have to tell me something, Cad.
Please.
Did I get it wrong? Was this man responsible for killing Anna Williams? Yeah.
Dad, are you okay? Dad? Find him, Cad.
He has to pay for all the sadness and suffering he caused.
I will.
Listen, I have to go.
I'll speak to you at home later.
Cad, be careful.
You know me.
I'm always careful.
Mrs Harris.
It's 9.
25 on the morning of Tuesday, 24th October.
Present in the room, DI Cadi John.
Could you note your full name for the record, please? No response.
We'll continue with the interview of Iona Harris.
Mrs Harris has refused legal representation.
We've noted that on her record.
Iona Harris, you've been arrested under suspicion of kidnapping and holding three girls against their will.
Mali Pryce, Llinos Evans and Megan Ruddock.
What can you tell me about this girl? Mali Pryce.
Mali disappeared in 2011.
She was 17 years old.
We found her body last week in the river in Pantwern.
She was pitifully thin.
And she was grey.
She had injuries on her wrists and ankles from being tied up.
She'd been caught.
She'd been imprisoned.
We found items that belonged to Mali in your son's bedroom.
How do you explain that, Mrs Harris? Okay, we'll come back to that in a minute.
This is the pathologist's report.
It describes the condition of her body.
She was malnourished.
There's a long list of old injuries.
She had internal scarring in her womb.
It's evidence that someone carried out a forced late-term abortion.
Aborting a baby.
Someone's been busy.
Did you do it on your own? Or did you hold her down while your son ripped the baby from her womb? What kind of woman are you? How could you do that? If you've got anything that you could say to explain all of this then, please, I'm all ears.
No.
Nothing? Llinos Evans.
Llinos was 16 years old when she disappeared in 2007.
What can you tell me about her disappearance, Mrs Harris? Shall I tell you what I think happened, then? I think your son kidnapped this girl, Mrs Harris.
I think he brought her back to your house, to your home.
I think he dragged her kicking and screaming down to that cellar he had where he mistreated her and raped her until she expected his child.
A little girl named Nia.
Nia's how old? Nine? She's almost ten years old.
2007-2017, what's that? Seven, eight, nine, ten years.
That's a coincidence.
Where's Llinos Evans, Mrs Harris? At the moment a forensic team is combing through every corner of your house.
They're looking in every room, in every drawer and if there's any trace of Llinos Evans in that house, we'll find it.
Search as much as you want.
You won't find anything.
Anna Williams.
She looks very similar to these other girls.
Anna went missing in November 2005.
She was 17 years old too.
Two days later, we found her body had been hurriedly buried in Penrhyn forest.
Her uncle, Endaf Elwy, was arrested and charged with her murder.
He's spent the last 12 years in prison insisting he didn't kill her.
The guilty ones shout loudest.
The problem is I found a book.
It's an old school book with Anna Williams' name in it.
In that cellar, on your land.
Tell me, Mrs Harris, how exactly did Anna Williams' book reach that room? Have you finished? If you leave now, if you leave, I can phone someone.
I won't say anything.
I'll make sure you have enough time to get away.
Dylan, please.
I won't call straightaway.
I'll make sure you've got enough time to go.
The keys.
The keys to the Land Rover.
They're on the table.
Take them.
Go.
Just give me enough time to call.
One word and I'll kill you.
Do you understand? - You don't have to do this.
Go out there and give yourself up.
- Be quiet.
Sorry.
No, it's okay.
Isn't your mother here? - No.
She went back to the hotel to sleep.
Have you found him? No, not yet.
But we will.
You're safe here, I promise.
I do this to myself.
Sometimes, I get a feeling deep inside A terrible feeling that just grows.
Fear, panic.
It grows and grows.
It fills me up until all I want to do is scream.
This is the only way to get rid of it that feeling.
But when I was in that cellar that feeling disappeared.
All I wanted to do was escape.
I wanted to be free.
I wanted to live.
But what am I supposed to do now? How am I supposed to live? Because what happened to me, what happened in that cellar, that's never going to go away.
Sorry.
My mother died when I was a child.
I was in the car with her when we had an accident.
I remember looking across to her and stretching out my hand to touch hers.
It was like seeing the sun going behind a cloud.
No screaming, no shouting, nothing.
She just went very quietly.
When something terrible happens, we think the world will just stop.
And that everything and everyone will hold their breath.
But it never does stop.
Everyone just carries on except that my life and your life will never be the same.
It'll never get easier, and it will always be there.
That feeling.
So, you have to live.
Live your life.
That's what my father told me.
That's your prize for coming through this.
You'd better rest.
Wait.
Can I ask you one thing? Hello.
I just wanted to thank you for what you did to help me.
You're a very brave girl.
I wanted you to know that.
I won't forget what you did for me.
Will you read with me? Yeah, of course.
I'm Nia.
Megan.
I imagine it's Sally.
She's worried about me.
She's worried that I'm not answering.
She won't stop.
She always liked you.
Sally sees the best in everyone.
She wants to help them.
That's how she is.
She always said you had sad eyes.
Stop it.
Dylan, whatever you've done it's not too late to make it right.
It's never too late.
I just wanted to look after them.
They all looked lost.
They came to me.
They all wanted my attention.
I made a mistake with the first.
She used to come to my workplace.
She'd come to meet her uncle.
There was something about her.
Something in her eyes that was begging me to save her.
Then, one night, there she was, walking on the side of the road.
I knew then.
I knew as soon as I saw her.
I knew I had to have her.
She started screaming.
But I wasn't going to let her go.
I just wanted her to be quiet.
I didn't intend to hurt her.
I just wanted to feel close to her.
Dylan I didn't make the same mistake again.
Not with the others.
I watched them.
I followed them.
I got to know them.
I waited until the time was right.
And then I took them.
I saved them from their old lives.
I gave them a new start.
I gave them everything they needed.
That's all been taken away from me.
Hiya.
Did you get my message? Yes, it's terrible.
Those poor girls.
How are you? - It's been a long night.
You sound tired.
- I am tired.
But it looks as if we'll be here for a while.
Look, if it's a problem, the scan is tomorrow.
Shit.
I forgot.
With everything that's going on - I know.
I'm not trying to put you under any pressure.
I'm happy to go alone.
I just wanted to remind you.
I can rearrange it.
- No, don't do that, not yet.
I'll see what I can do.
I want to be there.
I'll be there, I promise.
- Are you sure? Certain.
I have to go.
We'll speak later.
Bye.
At 11.
50 this morning, the remains of a young woman were found buried in the forest behind your home.
Do you have anything to tell us about that, Mrs Harris? Mrs Harris.
As you can see, Mrs Harris, once we've tested the body for DNA I suspect we'll have a match for Llinos Evans.
Why did you kill this girl and bury her in the forest like an animal? Because that's what you did.
You and your son, Dylan.
You stole her life.
I didn't kill her.
She just died.
How? Giving birth to the baby.
It happened quickly.
There was nothing I could do.
I told him to be careful.
I told him not to get them pregnant.
He didn't listen.
He never listened.
He couldn't stop himself.
And when this one got pregnant I told him to get rid of the baby.
He didn't.
He wanted a child of his own.
Nia.
Does Nia know what happened to her mother? It doesn't matter now.
What happened when Mali got pregnant? I warned Dylan several times that he needed to sort it.
We couldn't have another child in the house.
But he did nothing about it.
It was too late afterwards.
I sorted it in the end and cleaned up his mess.
She lost a lot of blood.
But she survived.
He isn't right in the head.
I look after him.
That's what every mother does.
Iona Harris admitted everything.
Her part in taking and holding the girls, everything.
What about Dylan Harris? I'm sorry to interrupt.
I've had a call from Sally Heston.
She and her husband, Mathew, are neighbours of Dylan Harris.
Mathew Heston works from home.
He's always there when his wife calls.
He hasn't answered the phone today.
We'll check it out.
- Thanks.
I can't stay here any more.
I don't know how much time you have.
But I have to leave.
Before it gets too late.
And I can't let anyone find you like this.
If they find you you'll tell them everything.
You'll tell them everything about me.
I can't let you do that.
I can't help you.
I tried to help those girls.
They threw everything back in my face.
Dylan - No-one came to save me.
No-one worried when I was suffering.
And I don't care that you're suffering now.
A green Land Rover Discovery.
License number: Sierra, November, Five, Three, Tango, Kilo, Oscar.
- Okay, alert all units.
That was him.
Bravo 23 asking for authority to follow a green Land Rover.
Licence number Sierra, November, Five, Three, Tango, Kilo Shit.
The vehicle left the road.
We need an ambulance immediately.
Vaughan.
You've got nowhere else to go.
We've talked to your mother.
Dylan, please.
She's told us everything.
It's time to do the right thing.
Don't do this, Dylan.
Dylan? Dylan.
No.
Mrs Harris, I'm sorry to have to inform you that your son, Dylan, died tonight.
He took his own life.
No luck with Lowri Driscoll.
I've left her a message.
I asked her to call back as soon as she could.
He won, didn't he? God, I really wanted to catch him.
We did everything we could.
- Did we? You look terrible.
- Really? Who'd have thought? It's not as if we've been too busy to eat or sleep.
I've told you.
Caffeine is as good as sleep any day.
Go home.
Have something to eat and get some sleep.
Do whatever normal people do after a long day.
I'll be late tomorrow if that's oaky.
I need to go with Sam.
The baby scan.
Yeah, that's fine.
Good luck.
I'll see you when I see you.
I thought you might be here.
I heard the news.
All those ruined lives.
And he took the easy option himself.
Bloody coward.
Are you alright, Dad? I'm going to miss this.
I'll miss this time.
I want you to do something for me, Cad.
When this is over you have to move on.
Don't waste the time you have.
Please.
I couldn't bear it.
I'm going back to the house.
You look tired.
Go to bed.
Alright.
