Four Lives

I might have a gig. There's a young boy, he's collapsed.

How did he die? That's an ongoing investigation.

I'm not convinced you're telling the truth. He's been charged

with Perverting the Course Of Justice and bailed.

He told me he never felt loved by you or the slag that was his mum.

I find another place. A guy in Barking.

Just me and my couch surfer.

There's been that other lad found in Barking, in the graveyard.

I think my son has been murdered. You can't start saying that.

Yes, I can. I can and I will.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hello? Mrs Sak. DC Slaymaker.

Look, what's happening?

We're still waiting on toxicology results.

Erm, that's why I'm calling.

In order to run the tests, some body parts had to be removed.

Do you want them disposed of or have them put back with the body?

It's a question we have to ask.

It's entirely up to you.

Oh, my God. What the bloody hell's going on? What? What happened?

Hello? It's Sarah's sister.

What is it? What's going on?

I need to know what she wants to do with the parts

which were removed from Anthony's body for the tests.

The... The lab can dispose of them,

but some cultures require them to be put back with the body

before being returned to the relatives.

It's a question we have to ask. There's a way of asking.

Tell him I don't care what he does with them, I just want my son home.

I hope you heard that. Yes, I did. Thank you.

All right, neighbour?

Yeah, late finish, but I saw you were in.

I did want a quick word actually.

I still can't get my head round it. Around what?

Gabriel going back to Slovakia,

just taking ill, dying.

I mean, I know he looked in need of a good meal but he didn't look sick.

Or a case of what he wasn't he telling us, I think.

Well, how do you mean?

Well, could have been incubating something nasty,

didn't want us to know about.

And if he was, he should have told me

instead of bringing his germs into my flat.

Did you and he get on?

Why would you ask that?

Well, that time you brought him round.

He let on he found you intimidating.

That's a first.

Do I intimidate you?

Well, no, but I know you, Stephen.

Yeah. Know what a complete knob I am, eh?

Did you and he ever...?

Nah.

He looked fit on the website but in person, no chemistry.

One time, I said erm, I thought like he needed a cuddle

but he wouldn't get into bed.

Some of these are all right.

Not really my scene.

No?

What's that? What's what?

On there.

Didn't know you were into that shit.

Only when I inject a bit of extra fun into the action.

What's Seville got that Gravesend hasn't?

Erm, well, sunshine.

We've got sunshine. You mean fog and drizzle.

What else?

It's got nightlife. Clubs, bars, restaurants.

We've got bars and restaurants.

Stinking boozers and greasy kebab shops don't count.

OK, OK.

When we've bought a place of our own, married,

then we can save up for a little hideaway in Seville.

Or Barcelona, or Lisbon, or Paris.

The world's our lobster, isn't it?

Oi. Give it back! Catch.

I still think we should look in Sevenoaks.

Be handy for my work and if your boss does open his place there...

Dan? Mm?

What you doing?

Nothing.

I'm trying to talk to you about something that's important.

That's if buying a place together is still important to you?

Yeah. Course it is. More than messaging other people?

I'm not, I'm not messaging other people.

What are you doing, then?

Just texting work to see if he needs me evenings next week.

Is that OK?

Ricky...

Why are you being touchy? I'm not touchy.

Just...

I just want to make sure you're still committed.

To buying a place together? To us.

Of course I am.

Hey... Hey, of course I am, you idiot.

Sami.

Come on. Your train's in 20 minutes. Coming.

Hate this. What?

You here. Me Essex.

Not for much longer, yeah?

I can't move now, Sami.

I've changed my mind. I want to stay.

Stay till when? Well, I dunno.

Can't even think about moving till I get Anthony home.

But if you here, I Essex...

I'm your husband, my job is to take care of you.

Yeah, I understand, love, but it feels wrong.

Anthony bloody hated Hull but it was his home.

Anyway, I need to... I need to be here to look after him too.

He doesn't speak to you.

Act like you don't exist.

Come round from work, eat meal, sit miserable by TV.

No "thanks", no nothing.

I'm just taking Sami to the station, love.

Hi, it's Dan. Just leave a message

and I'll get back to you soon as I can.

BEEP Hey, it's me. Where are you?

Have you missed the last train or what?

Just let me know, will you?

Hi, it's Dan.

Just leave a message and I'll get back to you soon as I can.

Police. How can I help?

I'd like to report someone as missing, please.

Off you go, Max.

DOORBELL RINGS

Ricky Waumsley?

I'm sorry to tell you, we've received information

Daniel was found dead earlier this morning.

Where?

How?

He's been found hanged in a churchyard in Barking.

Hanged? It would appear so.

We don't really have any more detail.

Because of where it happened it's being dealt with by the Met,

Barking and Dagenham.

Sarah.

You all right? Yeah, you?

Have you got time for a coffee? Yeah.

I got a call from Slaymaker.

I chased him again, about the malicious texts.

I says to him, you must have ways of tracing telephone numbers?

But he said he's passed it on to Hull police.

So I've just been down there now.

They just seem to think that it's some weirdo,

nowt to do with this Joe Dean or anybody who even knew

what happened to Anth. Maybe they're right, Tom.

I just keep thinking that if...

Well, if that's what he really thought about us before he died,

you know, have we really fucked him up?

We can't let ourselves think like that.

You know when we got back together that second time,

when he was 14, he were, he was made up.

I mean, if we'd have stayed a family, he might not even have left Hull...

That's bollocks... got involved in that daft Uni stuff,

messing around with lads. Oh, bloody hell. What?

You think that turned him gay? I don't know. That is bullshit.

Is it? It's absolute bullshit.

And it takes two people to screw up a marriage.

So don't you lay what happened to Anthony at my door.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hello? Ricky Waumsley?

Yeah. My name's DC Slaymaker.

I'm calling from Barking and Dagenham CID.

Erm, I believe you had a visit from the local police?

Yeah, they were just here.

Right, so you're aware of the situation regarding Daniel?

All they told me was that he'd hung himself.

Hung himself? In a churchyard in Barking.

There's obviously been some crossed wires here. He wasn't found hanged.

What?

Investigations are still ongoing but it appears to be an overdose.

An overdose? Yes. Drugs.

Then why tell me that, that he'd been found hanged?

I have no idea how that misunderstanding has arisen.

Rafael, hi. Hi.

Erm, listen, I'm sorry to bother you again.

But I just wanted to check, have you heard about Gabriel? Yeah.

The police spoke to his brother.

He had to fly to London to identify him.

Do you have any idea how he died?

No. His brother said that the police

are still investigating, erm...

But I did find this friend on Gabe's Facebook called John Luck.

John Luck? I messaged him. I think he's the guy that

Gabe went to stay with after he left you.

He didn't know that Gabe had died.

He said that they spent two nights together

and then he left with some guy called Dan.

And then yesterday, the police called to say

that another body had been found in the cemetery. Fuck.

Another?

And the dead guy's name is Daniel. Jesus.
