Le prime 200 righe.
Oh, God.
There you go. Why didn't you wake me?
I did. You told me to piss off. I don't remember.
I do. All the clocks have stopped in the house.
It's probably just a fuse. Oh, Mum, I've got a temperature.
You haven't. I'm not going.
If I have to, you have to. Doesn't she? Not getting involved.
Ooh-ooh! Hi, Mum.
Morning, Liz. Fresh eggs, we had a bumper lay.
Look at them, eh? Love you zillions. OK.
Er... oi! Hello, love.
I've got a temperature. Have you now?
She hasn't. Gotta go. I'm late to meet Nige.
Have you seen Danny? He forgot his lunch. Already gone.
All right. I'm late. Cheerio, love.
Get off! All right, you lot?
How's it going? All right? My first day back at work, ask me later.
Sports Day, isn't it? Show 'em what you got. I will.
We should get the lads out. Definitely. I'll text you later.
All right, Jen?
Sorry, love. Sorry.
Where were you for five-a-side last Tuesday? I know. I'm sorry. I had to go over to Lyme.
Mate's band were playing. No excuses next time, eh?
Yeah.
Morning, ladies. All right, how are you?
Hey.
Morning, Oll. All right, Mark? How's it going?
Beautiful weather. Sunshine and showers they reckon.
How's your mum? Is she all right? Not bad, thanks for asking.
Pass on my love. Yeah, will do, mate. Absolutely.
Oi, don't you sneak past. Knock, knock.
All right, Maggie? All right, Mark?
Got your ad renewal for you there, Mag. Ah, a week late.
Oh, sorry, no-one's perfect, eh?
Lovely morning for it.
All right, Becca?
Your hotel started that tradesman's discount yet?
You've gotta have class to eat here. Class? I'm all class, me.
Keep telling yourself that.
You're late. Yeah, sorry, traffic's really stacking up.
There's all them lovely tourist girls ripe for your picking.
Shut up!
So, what was the upshot of last night, then?
How about you just drive?
Morning. You all right? Hi. Morning!
Hi, I'm back!
Thank you very much. Quite right too.
Dom, I got you lung busters, against my better judgment.
Nish. Look. Vodka, black label.
Very nice. Thank you. Not at all.
Anna, I got you lip gloss for all your kissing. Thank you.
Mike... moisturizer. Give that lovely face a lift. Thank you.
I got you a cuddly penguin, Frank. I know you get lonely.
Come on, then. What's all the gossip?
Ellie. Welcome back. Can I have a quick word?
What's the news? We've given the job to someone else.
What? I know it's a disappointment.
You said it would wait till I got back from leave. You said I was a shoo-in.
The situation changed. Christ!
Who? Who got it? DI Alec Hardy.
A man?
What happened to, "This area needs a female DI"?
What happened to "I've got your backing"?
Alec Hardy has a lot of experience. Why do I know that name?
He was in charge of the Sandbrook murders.
Are you kidding me?
When does he start? Last week.
You wanna see this or not?
Yep, OK. Received.
That's where they cut to get in. Siphoned the whole bloody tank.
We'll be in touch.
Is that it?
What about forensics?
I can't afford this, the price of diesel.
You called me at seven in the morning for that. Too good for it, are you?
Just got a call. Coastguard reported something down by the shore.
After all she said to me, what's the bloody point?
Shall I just walk out, clear my desk and go?
No, I know. But you should have seen me, I was so happy coming back.
I'm in here!
Ellie, you've got a shout.
Gotta go.
Can you see Danny? I can't see him. He'll be with his class.
I can't believe you're making me come to this.
Hey, your choice. Stay here or get on to your own school.
Oh, all right. I'll go in. I love you very much.
And if you remember how to smile, give it a go for me, would you?
Usain Bolt. OK?
Now all look egg-cited.
Hiya. All right?
Beth? No Danny?
Oh, I thought he was here. No, we haven't seen him today.
Well, did you do the register? Yeah, we haven't seen him since yesterday.
Miss?
Danny, it's Mum. So, you're not at school. Can you give me a call straightaway?
I just want to know where you are.
Jack, it's Beth. Danny did his paper round this morning, right?
Oh, er... OK. Did he ring?
No, no, no, it's fine. I'm just... just not quite sure where he is, that's all.
Mark, it's me. Ring me now.
Tom? Tom!
Danny didn't say he was going anywhere this morning, did he? He's not in trouble.
OK. Thank you. Can I do anything?
Just give me a call if he shows up. Yeah, sure.
Hey, Tom.
Oh, come on. Come on.
..main road to the coast at Broadchurch.
If you are heading to the beach I suggest you make other plans.
What's going on? Someone said the police are at the beach.
They might have found a body.
Stand back. Stand back, please.
Oh, God, don't do this to me.
Come on.
Ma'am.
Oh, God. No, no, no. Off the beach.
This area's off-limits. No, I'm police.
Oh, God, I know him. He lives here.
He has tea at my house. He's my boy's best friend.
Oh, God, Beth. Does Beth know? All right, calm down.
You don't understand. I know that boy. Shut it off.
"Shut it off“? Be professional. You're working a case now.
Alec Hardy. I know. You got my job.
You wanna do that now? You don't even know who he is.
Tell me!
Danny. Daniel Latimer. 11 years old. Goes to school with my boy Tom.
His family live here. Dad's the local plumber.
Is this a suicide spot? He wouldn't do that.
Answer the question.
No. There are others. There's one three miles west. Another one further inland.
He's not that type of kid. Find out where SOCO are.
We have to move fast. That tide'll be in.
Oh, God.
Oh, God. Who's that?
No, Beth, get off the beach. What have you found?
Let me see, let me see. You can't be here!
Get her off the beach. Get away. Those are his shoes.
Come on, come on. Those are Danny's trainers!
No!
Leave it, leave it.
Danny!
Ah, Olly, you're back. Survived Sports Day.
Not only that - coffees.
Ah. That's three shots.
Right. Double-page spread.
Spell all the children's names correctly, please.
I don't want the parents berating me.
So, Reg didn't turn up. Red Lion.
What, you mean we've got no pictures? Ah.
Camera phone. I took them myself.
Ah... good initiative, Olly.
Show me how to download these.
Why do use still use Reg? He always lets you down.
I see Reg in the supermarket every Saturday. We look after our own here.
Oh, look at their little faces.
Oh, that's very nice. You've almost got an eye.
Well...
I tell Reg I'm using camera phone pictures in the paper
he'll be back and sober within the hour.
Oh, my God. It's the Daily Mail. It's my application.
Open it.
Bastards!
Oh, sweetheart.
There's plenty of other newspapers. I've tried them all now.
You're good, petal. Your time will come.
Now, look, text from Yvonne.
She says the beach is closed off for some reason.
Go down, check it out, will you? Get some fresh air.
Sure.
They let people walk along here, no safety barriers?
It's the coastal path. People know to be careful.
It's a death trap.
How's it going? Well, from what we've got up here, sir,
it looks like the rock fall around the body was faked.
What do you mean? The angle of the body was wrong.
It was too arranged.
And up here there's no flattened grass or slippage.
No loose rocks. No fibers, no hand marks.
No sense of a downward trajectory. You mean he didn't fall?
Could he have jumped?
That's unlikely, sir, given where he was found and the trajectory off the cliffs.
See, not Danny.
If you ask me... someone tried to make it look like an accident.
I don't think he was up here.
Get on to the pathologist. Tell him to hurry up.
Even if it is just preliminary.
DS Miller! Who's that?
Just keep walking. Ellie!
He seems to know you. Auntie Ellie.
I told you, don't do that. Ollie Stevens, Broadchurch Echo.
I was down at the other end. Why has the beach been closed?
No statements now.
I heard there was a body. Has it been ID'd?
Please. There will be a statement, Oliver.
Are they all in there? Sir, I can lead this with the family.
No.
I know them. How many deaths like this have you worked?
This is my first. You can't make it better. Don't try.
You don't know how I work. Most likely premise is abduction.
Was he taken? If so, who by?
Watch them. Every movement.
