Cal's dead.
And I found him.
He was a 14-year-old boy.
I know how old my brother was.
Romany Traveller. History of absconding from school
and expelled from school.
But the truth is, you choose your family.
Particularly around here.
I'd rather he didn't know that Cal was...
Fine. We don't mention the drugs.
Eli lied. He's hiding something.
I will find out for you, sir. If you let me on your team.
He was ours. And someone hurt him.
I'm going to find out who did this to me. To us.

Hello.
I can't help being worried about her, Mum.
She was coughing through the night.
I can hear it's getting worse.
She's barely seen you.
I know that, Mum, but the case.
Oh, yeah, the case. The case.
A Romany murder. Do you...
So Caleb's death's the best thing that ever happened to you, was it?
- No. - I'll watch her today, but she's your child.
I'm not sure you're up to this.
"I'm not sure you're up to this"?
You've got a visitor.
I've intruded.
I found this bag.
I think it's yours. I wanted to return it.
That's kind. Isn't that kind, Ruth?
I've got to get ready. Baby sick. Sorry.
Okay, so, uh, we're gonna take it nice and slow.
Let's start with what you were doing that night.
Well, um, it was Robbie started it.
The idea was you just run as fast as you can until you arrive at the...
At the grain silo.
It's where you climb up and, um, jump and...
You jump in and you sink through the grain.
But then you get lifted out,
and the feeling's like...
It feels like you're being saved
or born or something.
It all got quite blurred.
There was some mild drinking involved.
There weren't drugs.
I'm an apprentice jockey. I have it in me to be the very best.
Drugs would finish my career.
Do you want to blood test me?
We were just very drunk.
And was Cal in the group with you when you left?
Cal was...
Well, that's the thing with Cal.
He just melted away.
One minute he'd be there and the next he wouldn't.
That was just sort of his way.
Does anyone else fancy breakfast?
Cheeky morning curry?
Fry up? Pizza?
Look, I reckon we need to debrief.
Interrogate each other, you know, in a friendly way or whatever.
- We all kept to the pact. - Did we?
Well, I didn't mention the drugs.
- No one mentioned the drugs. - Has someone got drugs?
Sorry.
Know them well?
The redhead, me and her have history.
What kind of history?
I was friends... I was friends with all of them.
That could be useful.
They seem to be obsessed with who was the last one seen with him.
- Who left with him? - He left alone.
- Do you remember? - Yeah.
I don't remember anything.
That's what I should have just said.
I remember nothing at all.
Well, if there's one thing I've learnt, it's after police state trauma,
food is important.
Jim-Jam, I'll shout you extra toppings.
- It is your birthday after all. - Oh, shit.
Don't worry, I'd mostly forgotten, too.
- I'm sorry, James, I've got to get back... - It's all right.
Come on, guys. We need to stick together!
- I know it's a little weird and stuff, but... - It's worse than weird. I've got to go.
Really?
All right, cool, yeah. No, don't worry about it.
See you guys in a bit, yeah? Cool.
Your old friends were the last people to see Cal alive.
They're all suspects.
Do you trust them?
No.
That's twice in two days they've had you in.
They wanted to know what we were doing with Cal the night before.
You were with him that night?
We were all out with him.
Okay, on.
On!
Will they have you back a third time?
- I've told them everything I know. - Have you been careless, son?
- Is there something you're not telling me? - No, Mum.
- You haven't forgotten something? - No, I haven't.
I'll make a cake for you later.
I've got to go.
What did I miss?
I'd hug you both, but, you know,
you've got shit on you.
And blood.
Good to be home.
Oi, oi, that don't sound good, mate.
Eli, I didn't know you'd be coming in.
I see Crowley was sick.
Yeah, we called the vet's,
they're sending Janine over.
No need for that, he'll be fine.
He's in a bad way, Eli.
Don't you think it's best someone takes a look?
- No. - Eli, you sure you want to be here?
Look, I'm all right.
Crowley's my horse, course I should be here.
I'm not the liaison officer, Joe.
You'll have to speak to, I think, it's DS Wilson.
If I talk to you in Romany, they'll think I'm telling you stuff,
and you don't want that.
I can remember the three of you playing together, you know.
You, Eli, Cal, making trouble together.
You've been missed, girl.
But to come back this way? It's not right.
You make it sound like it was our choice to leave.
Hi, Ian.
- You okay? - Fine.
They've found ketamine traces,
baggies, scales, the lot.
- They think Cal was dealing? - Baking it. Bagging it. Selling it.
Are we bringing in Eli?
Well, Cal's fingerprints were everywhere.
But not a trace of Eli's.
We think he must have sourced the ingredients from around here.
They want us to check the books of local vets and chemists.
Our first solid lead.
The hounds are off, the horses are just behind.
- And we're the hounds, right? - Undoubtedly.
Come on.
James, I need to talk to you, mate. Some weird shit's going on.
Someone keeps sending me crazy stuff.
This is Defcon 1.
I may have fucked up a bit.
Hi.
If you'd hidden something, where would you hide it?
James, are you okay? You seem distracted.
I say distracted, I mean mental. You look downright mental. Are you mental?
One of my friends hid something.
It's really important that I find it.
I heard you found him.
The boy.
Cal.
Always knew we were in paedo heaven around here.
Must be the sheep. Or the horses' arses.
There is something vaguely sexy about a horse's arse, don't you think?
Speaking of which, when did you last wash this bed?
This room smells of damp sweat and cum.
And cum clings.
It really does. It is a smell that clings.
Cum and garlic and raw onion and mint. Avoid them all.
That's my advice to you as a big sister.
She still treating you like shit?
Yeah.
Rates still down?
I keep trying to persuade her to go organic, there's more money in it.
She seems to think a horse will save us?
I'm not so sure. Maybe.
Blackout, the horse Dad bought,
it's turned into a good racer, you know. Big money in it.
- Why don't we sell it? - Hasn't revealed all of its potential yet.
Potential?
It's an animal. What potential has it actually got?
The potential to stink of shit?
I spent my childhood running away from animals, and so did you.
You said... We said, 18th birthday you were going to tell her.
- No. No. I don't think I can. - Durham University want you, James.
- And Durham University won't wait forever. - But with the murder...
Eighteenth birthday. You promised me.
You need to tell Mum today.
You're leaving.
This is just routine at this point.
Yeah, that's fine.
We'll put them in a box, thank you.
We'll make some copies of these books.
Thanks a lot.
So let me get this straight. You've got a book of ketamine?
Every time I prescribe it, it's got to be written out.
- The police want my book. - Why?
Don't know.
- Listen, what happened the other night... - Yeah, I remember.
You're amazing.
You're amazing and sexy and clearly very talented with animals
and, well, I can't really remember, but probably very talented with,
you know, sex.
Not that being good with animals and sex is necessarily related. Well...
Just to interrupt you.
I don't actually technically want it to happen again.
Okay, cool.
Well, that's a weight off actually. That's a good thing
because it stays between us, yeah?
Everything's really crazy at the moment
and Tina really needs me, so...
You think she needs you?
Yeah, Rob. Yeah, it stays between us.
Okay. Final question.
No one's been following you, have they?
- Following me? - Yeah, you know, like,
taking pictures or lurking close by anything like that.
Rob, what are you mixed up in?
Do we know this one?
Yeah, think it's the Ukrainian guy.
They've used him before.
Trust is everything in this game.
Police interviewed us this morning.
So I heard. And?
And you're not the slightest bit concerned that we could be the slightest bit fucked?
Don't worry. I'm keeping an eye on them.
You're keeping an eye on the entire police force?
- I've got an in. - What's an "in"?
Make sure you check how many boxes he's taking.
I've got to go.
You're always rushing off somewhere, aren't you, Dom?
- Leaving me with the shit. - That's why I'm paying you.
You're a sinister man, Dominic.
Chemists report no break-ins and all ketamine is accounted for.
Prescription logs checked and they all passed.
And that's all the local practices?
Just in from social services.
Cal had a difficult time apparently.
And why aren't we investigating that?
We did. Was an older kid in one of the foster homes.
He's now in jail.
You barely flinch looking at those pictures.
Sir. You're needed.
You know, George thought you were a bit messy.
Described you as a wet nose.
But I think you've got it in you to be decent police.
You've lived in this village all your life.
You know these people.
Use that, Ruth.
I know you're worried, Eli. But I really think...
He just needs rest. He'll be fine in an hour or so.
I'm saying that I think it's respiratory.
- And if it is respiratory, right... - You'll exhaust him.
- He just needs rest. - No.
Don't touch his Chifney.
What's the problem? Why did you go and get Janine?
He's ill, Eli, we all want to look after him now.
I want to get Crowley in the pool.
- I want to see whether he's... - Fine. Let's do it.
That's crazy. He's knackered. He don't like the water.
Eli, should you be here?
I am here.
Mate, it may be a bit different, but that's what Janine does.
She's a professional. She's a good vet and we trust her.
Come on.
What exactly is it we're looking for again?
Breathing. I'm listening to his breathing.
I think it's laryngeal paralysis.
- You think or you know? - We could lose him.
We need to operate today.
I'll call the surgeon.
Come on, James, come on.
You've got to tell her.
Let me out!
Careful! Careful!
- Not funny! - Slightly funny.
No, deep breath.
Don't struggle. Don't struggle.
Rob's marvellous medicine. Happy birthday, mate.
I love, love, love you.
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Is she feeling better?
She's still wheezing but the cough seems to have cleared a bit.
Look, just can you put her on the phone, please?
I want to hear her breathing.
Come here, darling. Come on say hello to Mummy.
There you go.
Okay.
She's sounding better. Try not to worry.
Okay. Good, yeah. All right,
speak to you in a bit, bye.
- Hey. - Yeah.
It's okay, you know, you don't have to talk all quietly.
It's fine.
I... I need to go out for a minute.
We've got 15 reports to write.
Cover for me, please.
I need to talk to a few people.
It's okay, Eli, we've got it from here.
We've got to inject now. Please step out of the way, Eli.
You can tell me how my horse works, but you can't tell how it thinks.
Thank you.
That's all right.
Can I trust you?
You can. I'll keep him safe, Eli.
- Hi, Annie. - Hi.
You busy?
No. I'm on fun time.
Pushing shit around is fun time for me.
Can I talk to you?
You are talking to me.
You were always the one that was nicest to me.
So I was just thinking I could just come to you.
Okay, to be clear, are you interviewing me?
Because I was just interviewed this morning, so...
No. No, I'm just talking to you as a friend.
We haven't been friends in a long time.
Who got him the ketamine?
- The ketamine? What? - I saw you all this morning.
So anxious to cover up your drug shit. It was pathetic.
You want it to be one of us, don't you?
Maybe I'm not the nice one,
because I certainly don't like you.
- Yeah, well I... - Excuse me, I've got shit to spread.
You didn't need to come.
They say he'll be out from anaesthetic in 30 minutes.
You don't have to wait.
I want to wait.
I've been watching these two.
This mother lost her foal
and this foal lost her mother.
So they're giving it her dead foal's skin to give them a second chance.
When they took Cal into care,
when they took him from me,
I never worked harder than I did to get him back.
And I took an oath then that he'd never be taken from me again.
But slowly he just...
I don't get to have a second chance.
I don't even get to be a decent jockey.
I can't call Crowley my own.
I'm a stable boy until I die.
And the one thing I was working for, the one thing,
is gone.
Cal was all I had.
James! Happy birthday!
Any excuse for a party, right?
I actually thought the kidnapping probably took it a bit far.
But you know Rob, his brain is fucking mushy banana.
I hardly know anyone here.
Rob wanted everyone.
He said free beer. They came.
He even invited the crazy Uzbek lads.
No one invites the crazy Uzbek lads.
Annie, a boy died.
And this is as good a way as any to forget about it, right?
It's not easy with all this police stuff though.
And they pulled apart Cal's caravan today, apparently.
- His caravan? - Yeah, I suppose they got a lead.
Must be looking for something.
Are you all right, James?
- Fucking brilliant, isn't it? - Amazing.
James, this is Heather.
Heather likes bird watching, gnome collecting and holidaying in Kent.
- Hi. - Heather, this is James.
He likes Middle Eastern Renaissance art, horticulture and setting fire to small animals.
I think you're perfect for each other.
Annie, shall we leave them to it?
- That was awkward. - My sister specialises in awkward.
Can I, um, have some beer?
Yeah. Keep it.
I'm sorry.
All of this, it's not for me.
Well, this is a nice surprise.
Just to be clear I'm here to see Tina, not you.
She's at the equine hospital with Eli.
- We've got a sick horse. - Okay, thanks.
I always wondered about you, you know?
The loner.
What you were like.
I just like being alone.
I say that, too, when anyone asks.
We make these choices, don't we?
About the sort of person we are.
And then suddenly we are that person and it doesn't feel like we chose it.
I like you, Ruth.
And that night mattered to me.
I was wasted.
You got a guilt-free, one-night shag. Just enjoy it, okay?
And if it wasn't a one-night thing for me?
Then I'm sorry, I really am.
Things are complicated right now, anyway.
Okay.
Well, I've got 21 horses to feed before 2:00.
I'd better go.
I thought you had 26 horses here.
I want a list of every horse that's ever been treated by Janine Riley.
Hi, Janine, I probably shouldn't be telling you this.
There's some people been asking questions about you.
The police want your files.
Oi!
I'd like to make a speech.
I'd like to... Oi!
I'd like to make a speech!
We're here today
to celebrate our good friend Jim-Jams,
who's finally a man,
not that he seems ready to prove it.
He's a boy man.
A man boy.
But it's time for James to join me and the other grownups
to decide the kind of man... Or woman he wants to be.
Yes, this is hard.
This is hard times.
And I know everything's changed, but we need to stick together.
Things are falling apart, right?
But it'll be okay.
I look and there's not one...
There's not one person who I don't like.
Aw!
Well, there's a few people.
But the ones I love,
I really love and I want to, I want to stick to them, you know?
Like... Like... Tina.
I love Tina.
Where's Tina? Where's Tina?
- Come on, mate! - Wait, a minute, I'm making a speech, eh?
This is important, let me say this.
By my troth, you motherfuckers.
We... We will get through this.
Together!
This flight is now boarding!
It's your party and you did cry and you did want to.
Is that song before your time?
Oh, my God, it is, isn't it?
I'm getting old and everyone forgot to tell me.
Sorry.
- Sorry. - James.
This place is poison.
I've watched it make you smaller and smaller.
- You don't understand. - Of course I understand.
This is your one chance
to get out of being a farmer in shitsville for the rest of your life.
Well, it worked for Mum and Dad.
It killed him and it's killing her.
And don't give me any of that loyalty bullshit.
It's not blood, it's land.
- Farms can be sold. - Some people like it here.
- Yeah, but you don't, so... - This is where I belong.
Now leave me alone.
You missed it, Tintin.
The best planned party. The best party I ever planned.
- I spent money, bought beer, drugs. - Where did you get money from?
Details.
You got any food? Of course you don't.
- What are you doing? - Taking my clothes off.
I left my own party to come to you.
Do you want to go back?
Your answerphone's beeping, my cock's beeping.
These are both signals we should listen to.
Rob. Sit down.
I just wanted to tell people I love you, you know?
Declare it. You weren't there. So I couldn't.
I'll get you some water.
I know I mess up sometimes, yeah,
but I'm just trying to stop this thing from rotting us.
You don't seem to be trying at all.
You and James are just fucking gone.
You need a glass of water.
Who the fuck still has an answerphone?
Have you noticed your electricity charges?
No.
Message deleted.
Tintin? Tintin, Tintin, hey.
We've got some fucking draw for you, Tintin.
It's fucking amazing, isn't it, Jan-Jan?
Cal, will you get off the phone?
I think she's a little bit angry,
and you know you wouldn't like her when she's angry.
Cal, I mean it. Look, it's about 3:00 a.m.
And you just fucking come here, all right?
I called your wrong phone, haven't I? Fuck!
That was Cal and Janine.
Mmm-hmm.
- He left with Janine. - Hmm.
Where have you been?
- What are you doing? - She's been making up horses,
faking prescriptions, stealing ketamine.
I need to get on to her past employers, find her service history.
Whose service history?
Janine Riley. I need to find out whether she's done this before.
- It's not okay, Ruth. - Wait, that's not... Shit.
I am your partner and... Where are you going now?
I had a speech prepared.
Janine Riley is not who she says...
Janine Riley is in a lot of trouble. Listen to this.
Tintin? Tintin, hey.
We have got some fucking draw for you, Tintin.
It's fucking amazing, isn't it, Jan-Jan?
Cal, will you get off the phone? I think...
She's left work, she's not at home.
I need a call-out to all units, an emergency...
Oi! Oi!
Oi!
Where is it? Where is it?
If you're looking for the cash, you only need ask.
I'm not looking for cash.
What are you looking for then?
I can't say.
My secretive son and his secretive ways.
Fine. I don't need to know.
Your sister's gone.
She was gone before I came back. She'd left a note saying
that she'd call and be back at Christmas.
You've got me a gift.
Of course I got you a gift, I'm your mother.
Holy shit, is this what I think it is?
It's outside.
It's a bit run down but with some work...
The suspension's knackered on the other one.
You thought it was a car.
This is great.
Thank you, Mum.
The farm needs this,
just like it needs you.
If we are going to survive,
we need you.
I need you.
Come here! Come here! Who's there?
Is that you?
Fuck off and leave me alone. You hear me?
Fuck off and leave me alone!
Come on, come on.
- Tina! Where's Janine? - How did you...
You know something and don't even try and say different.
Know what?
- You keep your lot on a tight leash. - Oh, don't even.
You'll know, when you think about it, where she'll be.
I know nothing.
- I didn't mean it. Shit. - No, no, there's no need to call the police.
Oh, shit.
Can we play calmer now?
She's, um, starting to teethe, you know.
Is she?
Yeah, she's changing all the time.
Is she?
You can come see her whenever you like.
No. I can't.
She looks just like him.
I did what you asked.
I didn't tell anyone.
No one knows, but you do and I do,
and I think it would be good if you could
be a sister to her.
- She needs a family, she might need you. - You mean you need me.
My dad was dying.
And I was so angry I could barely even look at him.
That was your fault.
I had a family. Don't need a new one.
We need to find Janine,
or whatever she's called, and bring her in.
She's on the run. I need your help.
There's nothing you won't use, is there?
If you... If you get anything else,
just bring it to me first.
That's what this is about?
You're here 'cause I took the tape to your boss, not you.
You can't decide, can you? Whether you're doing this for you or for Cal.
I'm doing this for Cal.
And I am gonna find who killed him.
I'm never going to trust you, Ruth.
Okay?
Was that as pointless as it looks?
- Mum? - Ruth, I didn't know what to do.
- Her mouth and lips turned really blue... - Mum!
They won't let us see her. They won't.
- What? - So you can sit down.
They say she's over the hump but bronchial.
It's bronchial something. They talk so fast.
She couldn't breathe, her mouth and lips turned blue.
- Well, I need to see her. - You can't.
You can't. Sit down.
Just sit down.
How's the case?
Why didn't I see this?
You were busy.
Why didn't you see it?
Be careful, Ruth.
When I brought you up, I had people around me.
Lots of people.
I wasn't expected to do it all on my own.
- But we left those people behind. - You left those people behind, Mum.
I missed it.
My daughter was ill and I missed it.
I should have been here, but I got distracted.
They distracted me.
Who's "they"?
Maybe I can't do this.
Maybe you can't.
All that stuff you think no one sees.
All that hurt. I know it and I see it.
And if you keep at this case, it's all going to come tumbling out.
Is he gonna be okay?
I've given him a fighting chance.
Are you wet?
I'm okay.
But you're hiding, right?
The village is crawling with people looking for you.
No, I'm not hiding.
I tried running. It turns out I wasn't very good at it.
And they're hunting you because they think you hurt my brother.
Well, that's not true.
But you have done something.
They think I have.
Cal wanted ketamine.
So you gave him some.
I gave him a lot.
It started out as just a small thing,
it was just a few pretend horses,
a few made-up prescriptions, but then he kept pushing me for more.
He kept pushing me.
He's gonna be pretty open to colic right now, right?
Your wet clothes won't do him much good.
No point saving a horse's life, then killing it, is there?
And you did save him, didn't you?
Are you gonna hurt me, Eli?
How did he make you do it?
- He knew things about me. - How?
I don't know.
The same way Cal knew everything. He just knew.
The same way you knew what was wrong with Crowley?
- My brother just saw people, right? - Yeah.
And what? What did he see in you?
A liar.
Please don't hurt me, Eli.
No, I'm not gonna hurt you.
I'm gonna wait with you until the police come.
Put it on.
She's going to be all right.
The nurse said she'll make a full recovery.
That's lovely. Can you step up to the desk for me?
Super, so if you can empty all your pockets and put everything up on top here.
That's lovely, okay. We're gonna book you in, okay,
and your belongings under the name Janine Riley,
though it is currently assumed that this is not your real name, okay?

You are wrong about me, Ruth.
Elizabeth Marshall is claiming you as an alibi.
I was asleep beside Tina.
What you don't see, what you just don't get, son,
is that it was you.
Do you recognise this green-hooded jumper?
Eli Bray, stay where you are. Get him in the car.
I don't need you to trust me,
I need you to let me go.
