[upbeat rock]
[James] After the murder, other crimes seemed pretty easy by comparison.
-How do you know how to do that? -Practice.
[engine starts]
I know how to do a lot of things.
Like what?
Build a dam.
Taxidermy.
Make yoghurt.

[James] The radio in the car was broken. There was one CD.
And only one track that didn't skip.
♪ Keep on running ♪
♪ Keep on hiding ♪
♪ One fine day, I'm gonna be the one ♪
♪ To make you understand ♪
♪ Oh, yeah! I'm gonna be your man ♪
[James] At first, it was OK.
It was a good song.
[track starts over]
[James] But its appeal eventually palled.
[silence]
Do you feel bad about we did?
About the man?
[James] I was pleased Alyssa used "we" in relation to the incident.
He was attacking you.
Yeah.
And those girls in the photos.
[screech]
Yeah.
[Alyssa] We did the world a favor.
If I was the police, I'd give us fucking medals or something.
They probably will.
[James] They didn’t.
[foreboding music]
[soft country music]
[James] As the hours passed, I realized that I felt different.
Sort of new.
She'd come back for me.
And we were really doing something, going somewhere.
And it felt good.
Oh, shit.
Alyssa?
Wake up.
[sighs] Have a nice day.
[door chimes]
[door closes]
[woman] Did he buy a key ring?
[sighs] No.
Did you encourage him to buy a key ring?
-Yes. -Don't lie.
No.
Well...
if you get cancer, you'll only have yourself to blame, won't you?
[distant traffic]
[percussions]
[James] OK.
I'll keep the engine running. You get out, fill up, just a little bit.
Enough to get to your dad's.
And then we drive off before anyone notices, OK?
You've really come out of your shell, you know.
Huh?
It's hot.
[Jocelyn grunts]
Eight o'clock in the morning.
[percussions build]
Shit.
[sighs]
[quietly] All right...
[music fades]
[Jocelyn] Morning!
-Hiya. -Need a hand?
Nah, you're all right, thanks.
You can't fill up with the car running can you?
What?
Oh, yeah.
[percussions]
Can you turn the engine off, please?
[engine sputters and stops]
Let me help you. It's a bit temperamental that one.
It's fine, thanks.
-Full tank? -No, we only want a bit.
Better to be on the safe side, isn't it?
OK, sure. Fill her up.
[whispers] Police.
[mouths] What?
[Jocelyn] Let's go in and pay, shall we?
After you.
[percussions build]
[Alyssa] If this is what gets us caught, I'm going to kill myself,
from shame.
[door chimes]
[Alyssa] Shit, shit, shit.
This young lady would like to pay for pump number seven.
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
[till beeps]
Cash or card?
Like to buy a key ring? For cancer.
-Not now! -What?
Cash or card?
-Have you got a toilet? -No.
-Isn't that illegal? -We don't have one.
Yeah, we do.
-Shut up! -Do you want me to wet myself?
Do you want me to call the police?
They might like to know where you got your car from.
I need a toilet!
[Alyssa screams] Get off me!
-Ah! -Frodo, call the police.
[electric guitar riff]
[silence]
[Teri] I take it you recognize that.
I gave it him for his birthday.
Which birthday was this?
His thirteenth.
I’m sorry, why on earth would you give a 13-year-old boy a hunting knife?
Well, he asked for it.
Actually, no, he asked for a machete.
But I said that was a bit full on.
[Teri scoffs]
This knife has been confirmed as a murder weapon.
What?
Look, James...
He’s weird, OK? But he's...
he’s not dangerous.
[electric guitar]
You let her go, or I'll blow your fucking head off.
He's really not.
-Did you hear me? -That's just your hand, isn't it?
-No. -Well, what kind of gun is it, then?
[Jocelyn] Come on, I'm interested. My husband owns a couple.
-You got a husband? Ow! -What kind?
It's a Glock 17MB. Ambidextrous magazine catch. Recoil-operated.
19 rounds.
[Alyssa] Yes, James!
[Jocelyn] Frodo, call the police.
Ow!
[Alyssa screams]
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
Call the police, you fucking moron!
[Jocelyn screams]
Told you we had a toilet.
[banging and screaming]
[Jocelyn screams] Let me out! Let me out now!
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
I don't like my life.
So, do something.
[banging]
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
[silence]
[banging]
[banging continues]
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
[clatter]
[Jocelyn] What was that?
Nice one, Frodo.
[banging]
I'm just saying, it's a bit of a jump, that's all.
[Teri] What is?
Well, it's weird.
It is.
They steal a car and he has a knife, sure, but...
why would they kill someone?
Well, he's had the knife since he was 13 years old.
I had an air rifle when I was ten.
Nearly blinded my sister.
That's interesting.
[Teri] What?
[James] Things had started to get slightly out of hand.
[Jocelyn] I'm going to get you arrested, and then I'm going to sue you!
All of you!
Shut up!
[James] We needed to get out of there.
-Frodo? -Yeah.
Is that your actual name? Like, your birth name?
Yeah.
Listen, Frodo, we've got to get back on the road.
OK, yeah, cool. Where are we going?
-What? -I'm coming with you.
[Frodo] What do we need? Juice, snacks...
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
For energy.
[Jocelyn] Frodo!
-Do you guys smoke? -Not really.
I do. From now.
[Jocelyn] Oh, come on, Frodo!
I'm just gonna start the car.
He's just hot-wiring. It takes a while.
Oh, OK. Cool.
Do you want some alcohol?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Can you grab us a couple of bottles of that whiskey on top?
-What? This one? -Yeah, the Glen-thingy one.
[Alyssa] It's really expensive. [Jocelyn] Don't you dare!
[Alyssa] His trust in us is kind of heartbreaking.
But what are you gonna do?

[music stops]
[Teri] We're sorry to have to do this,
but we just need to ask some more questions.
[Eunice sighs]
Going back a few years, there was talk among old colleagues, about accusations
made against Clive by some students.
-Can you tell us anything about those? -Yes.
I can tell you it was a long time ago...
and that both accusations were dropped.
-We know that, but-- -And I can tell you...
that some young women, rather than admit
their grades are dropping because they're lazy
or on drugs half the time,
would rather accuse an innocent man of sexual assault.
No one would have any reason to cause him harm?
I would like it...
if you would get on with your job
and find whoever murdered my son.
Rather than trying to blame him for his own death.
I'll show you out.
Please, we'll see ourselves out.
He was your only one?
[clock ticks]
It's better to be in charge of the truth, you know?
In case it ever comes out.
It tends to,
in situations like this. It's, uh...
It's just my experience.
It's better to be, you know...
in control.
[sharp] Get out.
[ominous chords]
I'm so sorry for your loss.
[door opens and closes]
[melancholy music]
[Alyssa] I think I'm starting to feel a bit...
more like myself.
Sometimes, I think I feel more like myself with James than I do on my own.
Hey, can you stop?
[Alyssa] Everything feels really simple.
[phone rings]
[Gwen] Hello? [Alyssa] Hi, Mum.
Oh, my God, Alyssa, where the hell are you?
-We've had the police around-- -Just shut up and listen to me.
-Alyssa! -Mum.
Are you... are you OK?
You're never going to see me again. Ever.
I'm not coming home.
[quavering] What's happened, Alyssa? Where are you?
-Are you with your dad? -No.
Come home, Alyssa.
Tell Tony I said, "Fuck off."
[blues]
Let's go.
[Tony] Who was on the phone?
My mum.

Has Teri left?
[soft rock]
[man] Eunice?
Hi, this is Teri. Leave a message. [Eunice groans]
Cheers.
It’s really nice to meet you.
Hiya.
-Eunice, what-- -Come back to work.
-I’m sorry-- -You have to see this.
-Excuse me, who are you? -DC Noon. You have to see this.
-Are you in the police? -Is this a date?
-Seriously, Eunice, can you just-- -How old are you?
-For fuck's sake! -You have to see this.
-No! -You have to. It's important.
-Not now. -Yes, now.
I'm really sorry.
[beep]
[screaming]
[man] Hey!
I said stay still! [screaming]
[Teri] Fucking hell.
[seagulls cry]
Right. Let's do this.
-Are you OK? -Course I am.
James, we killed a rapist, turned our backs on the law,
and I'm finally gonna meet my dad again. It's mega. Come on.
[soft country music]
[door opens]
[Debbie] Yeah?
Hi. Is Leslie in?
[silence]
Leslie doesn't live here anymore.
[Alyssa] No.
What?
Who are you?
[seagulls cry]
Do you know where he is now?
Just leave it, James.
Yeah.
They still killed him.
Whatever he might have done,
they cut his throat and they’ve done a runner.
-Yeah, but if it was self-defense? -Then they'll get manslaughter.
-So, how did you meet her? -What?
Ugh...
OK. I'm going home.
[radio] DC Noon? Come in, DC Noon?
[beep] Yeah, go ahead.
We found the kids' most recent location.
Where?
They robbed a petrol station 100 miles south east of here this morning.
Held it up at gunpoint. Locked the manager in the toilet.
We've got the CCTV.
[beep] Coming in now.
[melancholy music]
[engine sputters]
[brakes creak]
[Alyssa] How do we know this is the right way?
[James] Well, she said left and then left again, so...
I think it’s this way.
[Alyssa] Sometimes you realize you had a thing keeping you going
that might be a lie...
When you actually really understand that,
that the whole thing might have been a lie the whole time,
it's like you swallowed a stone.
But not recently.
You swallowed it years ago.
What if this is shit?
Why didn't he tell me that he moved?
Maybe it's really recent.
Come on.
[insects chirp]
[music fades]
[distant TV]
[Alyssa] I'm really scared.
I'm really scared.
[TV continues]
[upbeat indie music]
[door opens]
Hi, Dad.
