Cal's dead. And I found him.

He's a 14-year-old boy. I know how old my brother was.

Romany traveller. History of absconding from school and expelled.

But the truth is, you choose your family,

particularly around here.

I'd rather he didn't know 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.

# Full well I served my master

# For more than seven years

# Till I took up to poaching As you shall... #

No!

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...

So Caleb's death was 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.

OK, so we'll take it nice and slow.

Let's start with what you were doing that night.

Well...

Um... it was Rob who started it.

The idea was you just run as fast as you can

until you arrive at the... at the grain silo.

We... 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. D'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 the sort of his way.

Anyone else fancy breakfast?

A cheeky morning curry?

Fry-up? Pizza?

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?

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. D'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...! Don't worry, I'd mostly forgotten too.

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, 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?

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.

OK, 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 vets. 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, are 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 watching 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 OK? 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 OK?

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, isn't there?

Speaking of which, when did you last wash this bed?

This room smells of damp sweat and come.

And come clings. It really does. It is a smell that clings.

Come 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, I don't think I can. Durham University want you, James.

And Durham University won't wait forever.

But with the murder... 18th 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.

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.

OK, cool. That's a weight off.

That's actually a good thing, because...

It stays between us, yeah?

Everything's really crazy at the moment and Tina really needs me.

You think she needs you?

Yeah, Rob. Yeah, it stays between us.

OK. Final question. No-one's been following you, have they?

Following me? Yeah, you know, like, taking pictures or lurking close by

or 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.
