The Drowning

In 24 hours we'll get the results back

and then we'll have proof.

I need something.

A UK passport for a child.

Why are we here?

Your boy's gone Jodie.

No way I'm letting you have mine!

They wouldn't even let them onto the ferry.

She's looking at at least ten years.

You owe her, Jason.

What will happen to the boy?

Nothing good.

We've just had the results back

from the DNA test and Daniel is Tom.

He's your son.

Tom!

Tom!

Tom!

Tom?

Tom!

Well, you certainly won't be pushed for space.

There's a guitar in my bedroom, if Yas hasn't pawned it.

Has someone been staying here in Tom's bed?

Yeah, it was a colleague of mine.

I thought Daniel and I were gonna be away,

but I'll let him know he has to find somewhere else.

Tom, Daniel, I don't know what to call him.

Just ask him.

Yeah.

We could find a place for him,

just so you both get used to the idea.

No, it's what he wants.

It's what we both want.

If either of you change your mind.

I'll be back in a day or two, all right?

Hungry?

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, of course.

What happened to me?

The last day that you saw me.

Well, we were having a picnic by the lake.

It was my parents, my brother,

me, you, Kate and your dad.

You met him at the recording studio.

Yeah.

You made kind of a big thing about introducing us.

He's a good man on the whole, bit weak maybe.

What was I like?

You used to make me sing to you for ages

before you'd go to sleep, and you loved making me laugh.

Every memory I have of you, you're smiling.

When I think back, I think you were holding us all together.

But all of you were there,

and none of you saw what happened?

For a moment, maybe 30 seconds.

I think we all thought one of the others had you.

Biggest mistake of my life.

What and then I just disappeared?

No, there was a couple there, walking.

They never came forward.

I think that was Mark and his wife.

Do you think he's in prison now?

I think they'll keep him on remand until the trial.

I really wish that I can make everything fine right now,

but I think for a bit we're both

just gonna have to busk it and see where we end up.

It's me.

You did some papers for me.

Ade someone.

Yes.

What was the name of the employer?

Art in Nature.

Text me the number.

What are you doing?

We're going home.

We'll get out of your way.

Jodie's coming with, they'll be here any minute.

What's that got to do with us?

Right, okay.

Do what you want.

Kate, we can't choose

whether we're part of the family or not.

If you wanna go home and hide, that's fine,

but I think Lola would prefer to stay here with us,

wouldn't you darling?

Yep!

Yep.

Jodie.

Hello Daniel.

I'm your dad's wife, call me Kate.

Hi.

We're all through here.

Are we thinking Tom or Daniel?

I don't mind.

It's up to you.

I'm kind of used to Daniel, if that's okay.

Ready?

Ben.

Hiya.

And of course you know Jason.

Yeah.

Lola, you wanna say hi to Daniel?

Hi.

Hi.

And this is your grandmother.

And there was me worrying it might be awkward.

Here we are. Could you manage the drinks?

Yeah, sure.

Do you wanna?

Why are mom and Jason?

What's that?

Prawn mayonnaise.

Spit it out.

What?

Spit it out.

What the hell's the matter with you?

He's allergic to shellfish, he could go into shock.

For God's sake, Ben!

He seems okay.

I eat it all the time.

Honestly, I'm fine.

Ben, Ben.

Yeah, thanks.

Might be nice to spend some time with some actual humans.

Blimey!

Daniel and I thought you could do with a hand.

Hey.

Hi.

Remember how these work?

Hey!

At last, someone to do the heavy lifting.

I suppose it's gonna take some getting used to.

Missed so much time with him.

Just have to look forward.

Just wish things felt like they did before between us.

Oh.

Okay, great, thank you mister.

You're my lucky charm Daniel.

That was some bloke offering us a project.

He's coming to look at our work,

and when he shows up, try and look vaguely competent.

What is this word?

Yeah.

Hi.

Hello.

Kate and Ben Gilmour to see Jason Walsh.

He's expecting us.

Okay, I'll just let him know you're here.

Yes, come in.

Hey.

Hey.

Thanks for squeezing us in.

Please take a seat.

You must be thrilled about Tom.

It's bound to be a bit,

just until we get to know him again.

How can I help?

It's slightly awkward.

We'd rather it didn't get back to Jodie.

What's your opinion on Daniel?

My opinion?

I haven't really spent enough time...

What he means is, do you actually believe he's Tom?

Well, it's no longer a question of what anyone believes.

The DNA tells us that there is a 99.65% match.

Ben, he's your son.

But can't these things ever be wrong?

Absolutely not, no.

We want another test, for confirmation.

Look, I understand what an enormous shock this must be.

It is life changing...

We don't think it's him.

What you mean is, he doesn't match

your idea of how Tom might look,

but there really is no doubt who he is,

medically, legally, in any form you care to choose...

All the same, we want another test.

Well, I am sorry that Tom's return

might inconvenience you.

What?

Come on Kate, when Tom disappeared,

Ben was with Jodie.

Now he's back, you're naturally concerned.

How fucking dare you?

Hang on...

Well that's your worry, isn't it?

That's why you planted the seed of doubt in Ben's head.

Tom's home, Ben and Jodie can go back

to being a loving family.

We have Lola, but that's not even...

You arrogant prick.

Do you know what, I'm just gonna come out and say it,

the family have been thinking it all these years.

Thinking what?

What happened to Tom that day down at the lake

is largely down to you, but you know that, don't you?

Jason... If you hadn't been

putting all of your energies

into stealing my sister's husband,

then we might not have taken
