Hidden/Craith (2018) s02e02 Episode Script

Geraint Elis, retired teacher.
We've reason to believe someone attacked him.
- I just want to work.
- I need to know your background.
- Why Elis? - A rumoured interest in children.
It was Geraint's word against Karl Lewis's.
- Cause of death? - Asphyxia due to drowning.
How did the cops find out about him? It was you, wasn't it? The estate's full of fucking cops.
You can't do fuck all around here without them snooping around.
Is she still in bed? I must've worn her out last night.
You were late home.
What were you doing? Eh? What are you two talking about? Nothing.
(SIREN) (DOG BARKS) Will someone shut that dog up? Lee? Lee? Lee? Lee? Lee! Shit.
I heard the gate.
I've been thinking of giving it some oil.
It's quite handy.
Better than a doorbell.
You haven't slept, have you? - Of course I have.
- Mam.
No.
I've told you, there's no need to worry about me.
- I have my phone.
- You don't answer it.
- You can talk to me, you know that.
- Yes.
You should've phoned, just to let me know.
I know how it works.
You have to find your own feet, have phases of hating me.
But you can't expect me not to worry not after what happened to that old man.
The season has started.
The shop sells fishing licences.
I can pinch one for you, if you want.
Granddad tried to teach me.
I think he was disappointed I was a girl.
That's why he was so happy when you came along, then your brother.
He was such a kind man.
You look just like him.
I'll go and make your breakfast.
You should take your brother fishing.
I think he misses you.
We both miss you.
- Sorry, did I wake you? - You would've if I'd been sleeping.
Lois still hasn't phoned.
She hasn't answered any of my messages.
She's too much like me.
It's an important year for her, with the exams.
I don't want her to lose out because of me and her father.
Has he spoken to her? He won't make much of an effort.
I knew he'd be difficult but I didn't expect Lois to shut me out.
Sorry.
It's OK.
I'm fine.
There's always coffee and wine.
Go.
Go to work.
See you.
- Are you OK to carry on? - Yes.
Three cars are coming in this morning.
If people serviced their cars on time they'd save a lot of hassle.
No common sense.
You could ask Sion - if you need help.
- Put one of these down for me.
Sion? He's looking for work and there's not a lot of it about.
It could help you both.
I don't know.
He seems OK, but Think about it.
They're drying by the radiator.
I know it's Saturday.
There's nothing I can do.
I'll be there.
I know it's important.
Sam, I'll be back long before then.
The blood splatters suggest Mr Elis was conscious when he was dragged from the landing to the bathroom.
He was put in the bath.
We think this facecloth was placed over his face before the taps were turned on.
The cause of death is drowning.
Geraint Elis was last seen on February 28th.
The entomology results will give us a better idea of the time of death.
He phoned the police on numerous occasions in the past decade to complain about local children.
We're in contact with social services.
Alys, any luck with the youth club? The local club closed 18 months ago.
Someone has gone to interview the leader.
The only name we have is Karl Lewis, Mr Elis's former pupil.
Karl lodged a complaint against him in 2007.
It may be that he and his friends carried out the attack.
Friends? The post-mortem confirms there were more than one.
It was a savage attack on a fragile member of the community.
The case has attracted media attention.
A strong police presence will reassure the public especially those living alone or who feel unprotected.
That's all.
Good of you to turn up, Vaughan.
(THROWS UP) (KNOCK ON DOOR) - Sorry to disturb you.
- It's OK.
I was thinking Beca mentioned you're looking for work.
I have a few recoveries to do.
An extra pair of hands would be handy.
I didn't ask her to mention it to you.
I know.
She mentioned it in passing.
Yes It's hectic.
This bad weather causes lots of problems.
You'd be doing me a big favour.
Now? Are you available? Yes, OK.
I'll get changed.
Come in.
It's OK.
She has changed quite a bit since then.
Yes.
(HE SHIVERS) There's firewood behind the garage.
Help yourself.
It's warmer outside.
Yes, OK.
Everything's clear.
Great, thanks.
Ta-ra.
That was Entomology, sometime between February 28th and March 4th.
Three weeks ago.
Second stage larvae was the best they could do.
Karl Lewis rents a flat in Blaenau.
I've spoken to his girlfriend.
- He works in the power station.
- OK, great.
Find out when he started working there and his shift pattern between February 28th and March 4th.
- Ready? - As always.
- I want to carry mine.
- You'll drop it.
Please.
I promise I won't.
Carry this one, then.
For the fish you'll catch today.
Come on.
It's going to be massive.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Have they found him? - Con? - Come on.
- They say there was blood everywhere.
- Who says? Boys in school.
They say it was the Black Nun.
- Good morning.
I'm PC Mari and - We know each other.
Is your brother around? - In the house.
- A few routine questions.
I expect you've heard the news.
Nice car.
Thanks.
I'll keep an eye out for it.
Me and the old perv were big pals.
- Just answer the questions.
- All we want to know is did you see or hear anything odd? No, Officer.
We're investigating allegations that he was targeted by youngsters.
Mr Williams? Hold on.
Why ask him? This is fucking harassment! Look at him! What's your problem? You always follow me around Back off.
Let's go.
(DOG BARKS) Lee? They're hiding in the depths.
They don't move a lot.
Did Dad teach you? No, Granddad.
- Did Dad fish too? - I don't know.
Not with me, anyway.
I've told you before Dad wasn't a nice man.
Granddad was different.
He could tie any feather from memory.
He looked at the colours what insects were around and copied them.
See this? It's hare fur.
He said we had to copy nature, trick the fish into thinking it's the tastiest bug it's ever seen even if it wasn't hungry.
You have to make it want it until it's all he thinks about and swims up and bang, hooked! Right, come on.
We're almost there.
There you are.
Be careful.
- OK.
- Don't fall in.
- OK.
- And be quiet.
OK.
Mia.
I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon.
Connor was late back last night.
Wasn't your mother worried? Is Connor around? He's out.
I wanted to finish an essay with him.
Well done.
No offence, but I want to go to college.
- Move away.
- No offence taken.
I respect you for leaving that bloke - setting a good example to Connor.
- Do you want anything else? A packet of 20 for Mam, please.
People can't seem to give up what's bad for them.
What if the little fucker goes to the cops? Maybe he has.
Maybe he'll tell them everything.
- Maybe they're on their way here.
- I'll kill him.
He makes one anonymous call and the next thing the cops turn up.
- Get a grip.
- How the fuck can I get a grip? How the fuck can I get a grip? - I'll shut the bastard up for good.
- You'll get your chance.
- I'll fucking kill him.
- You'll get your chance.
Apologize to him first.
Eh? - To get him back on side.
- Fuck off.
Do you trust me? We're family.
Not like him.
He's no-one.
I'll sort it.
Karl Lewis? Can I have a word, please? Can you sort that out for me? Follow me.
Sorry, what's this about? We'd like to ask a few questions about your former teacher, Geraint Elis.
We've seen a report into an incident between you.
That was years ago.
What's happened? I'm afraid Geraint Elis was found dead at home yesterday.
You didn't know? No.
How would you describe your relationship? Relationship? Jesus! There was no relationship.
He was my teacher, that's all.
He liked rough children.
He liked to help us out, kept us in lunchtime for a chat.
He knew we had no-one looking out for us.
- What happened? - It's called 'grooming' nowadays.
He kept me back on my own and took my hand took my hand and put it somewhere it shouldn't be.
Where were you between February 28th and March 4th? What sort of question is that? Did you visit the estate anytime between those two dates? No, I never go there.
Never? No.
My ex lives there.
I wouldn't hear the end of it.
To rule you out we'd like you to come to the station in the next 24 hours to provide a DNA sample.
To prove I've done nothing wrong? So I'm guilty until you find who did it.
It's something we have to do.
It was the same back then, too.
They take it for granted you're lying.
I realize this is difficult.
Let's see if we can sort it all out.
OK? - I've caught one! I've caught one! - Pull it in.
- I've caught one! - Concentrate, Liam.
- It's massive.
- It's tiny.
- I'll show it to Mam.
- It's too small.
- We have to throw it back in.
- Please.
We have to give him a chance.
You know it's the right thing to do.
You can come back next year and catch him when he's big.
Hey.
It was a great fish, mind.
Come on, I'm starving.
- A little longer? - We're going.
- Please.
- Liam.
That's it.
Just listen.
Come on.
(ENGINE FAILS) Stop, stop! It doesn't want to live.
The starter's jammed.
- Want one? - No, thanks.
What sort of work are you looking for? I'm not fussy.
What have you been doing? A bit of everything.
Security, bar work whatever I could get.
Try it again.
(ENGINE FAILS) Not a chance.
No.
But I don't give up easily.
We'll take it home.
It deserves a second chance.
Can you get the rope from the pick-up? We'll take it back to the garage.
A present for you.
The house-to-house report.
Great.
(PHONE) Sorry.
- Hiya, Beth.
You OK? - Where are you? Work.
- It's the weekend.
- Yes.
- Have you spoken to Elin? - No.
Why? I'm worried about her, Cads.
All this stuff with Dad, Rhydian, she isn't in a good place.
She isn't the only one.
Listen to me.
You have to take it seriously.
- I've never seen her like this.
- OK.
OK.
I'll talk to her.
We have to look after one another.
It's what Dad would want.
You've made your point.
Ta-ra, Beth.
Are you OK? Yes.
I won't be long.
Hello, Titch.
Take the stuff inside.
Wash your hands before tea.
Can they come in? - Take them inside.
- Please.
Liam.
Take them in.
- Where have you been hiding? - I wasn't hiding.
I sent a text.
Lee has something to tell you.
Listen.
Things got messy last night.
I lost it.
I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
Are we all friends again? Good.
There's a party up the quarry tonight.
Fancy coming? Come on.
I have to Or we could come in to play with Liam.
No, it's OK.
Of course I'll come.
Good.
Come on.
- I can't stay long.
- Yes, it is busy.
What do you want then? You need to give your mother a break.
She left us, took off as if we didn't mean anything.
What sort of mother does that? She was trying to do her best, keep everything the same for you.
She didn't even discuss it with me.
I'm not a little girl.
Everything's changed.
You're in the same house, you have your brother.
Your father loves you your mother loves you and she's still there for you.
As you get older, you realize people make mistakes even when they're trying to do their best.
Like you, you mean? Dragging Granddad's name through the mud when he was dying? You had your promotion, that's all that counted.
Don't talk to me about family.
You and Mam are as bad as each other.
(PHONE) You'd better answer that.
Hi.
No, everything's fine.
Give me ten minutes.
Hiya.
Hiya, Mam.
So? Where's the fish? Connor made me throw it back.
- You caught one? - Yes.
- Connor said it was too small.
- Oh.
Oh, well.
Fish fingers it is.
Con! How many fish fingers do you want? He went out.
It's OK, Mam.
I'm 12 next month.
I'm not a baby.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Mr Jenkins.
DCI Cadi John and DS Owen Vaughan.
We spoke on the phone.
Thanks.
I'll check if it's convenient.
'God is our refuge and our strength an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the sea.
' Sorry to intrude.
There are police officers here.
We're very fortunate.
The church members have been very supportive.
A great comfort, I'm sure.
Nothing prepares you for losing a parent.
It's a difficult time.
But we need to ask a couple of questions if that's OK with you.
Did your father ever mention Karl Lewis? Karl Lewis? Has he got something to do with this? We're considering a number of possibilities.
- Your father taught him.
- He made that terrible complaint.
Yes.
We weren't sure whether you knew.
There was no truth in it.
Everyone knows the lad lied.
Rhian's father never mentioned it, if that's what you're asking.
It was very difficult for Rhian.
For us both.
We didn't want to be associated with such an accusation.
There was no way to know.
Bringing it all up again is very painful to Rhian not to mention showing a lack of respect to a man who can't defend himself.
Did your father make any contact with Karl Lewis after the accusation was made? - Not that I know of.
- I hope we can leave it at that.
Rhian wants to know when can we go to the house to get pictures and her mother's belongings.
Not for the time being.
I'll make sure it'll be as soon as possible.
I'd like to go there to feel close to him.
Then I'd be happy never to see the place again.
I'm sure you understand Rhian is my priority.
I need to protect her.
I'll get your cash from the till.
Put it towards the rent.
No, fair play.
You worked hard today.
Please.
I'm grateful you're letting me stay in the house.
That's OK.
You're very kind.
I can't always pay rent on time.
Everyone goes through hard times.
Look at Beca.
We lost her mother.
Such a mess.
Help yourself to firewood, a sack of coal, anything.
- They say it's going to snow.
- Thanks.
- Have you locked up? - Yes.
Did he work you hard? He's a slave-driver.
I've never seen anything like it.
We should start an union.
You can't just turn up like this.
The bottle in the bag should be enough.
- Can you feed her on your own? - You should've waited.
I was on my way.
Here you are.
Thanks.
You're always on your way.
You knew I was going out.
You're not leaving her here? It looks like it.
I'm sure you're capable enough of looking after her 'til I'm back.
She needs a clean nappy.
Shit.
Sorry.
- You'd better go home.
- Sure? Unless she can help with our case.
Goodnight.
Fuck.
- All right, little bro? - Jas.
Smile for fuck's sakes.
- It's a party not a funeral.
- Will we pass? If you behave.
There's a small job later.
- There are cops everywhere.
- They'll do fuck all.
- They're watching.
- We're just going for a spin.
Why are you so fucking scared? Don't forget it's my car.
I get my licence back in six months.
I can leave it in the garage if you want.
OK.
(SHOUTS) (TECHNO MUSIC) It's odd how you can be related to people and they feel like strangers.
As if we're from different planets.
I don't get it.
Lee, Jason dealing swaggering around thinking they're someone.
There are two types of people.
Those who shuffle around, head down, see nothing living like they're half dead.
And you.
Me.
The old man.
He had nothing left in this life.
Can't you see? We didn't do anything.
You and me we're bigger than this.
Hey.
What are you two talking about? Nothing.
Go on, Connor.
Go back to the party.
Go.
I've had enough.
I'm going home.
- I'll come with you.
- It's OK, you stay.
Are you OK? "Even though this wedding differs slightly to the others we still only have 5,000 in the pot.
" (SOUNDS OF PASSION FROM UPSTAIRS) You need to be nicer to me.
See? That's better.
(HE YELLS) I'm fucking bleeding.
Much better.
Stupid bitch.
