Under Salt Marsh

The following programme contains strong language, violence,

and adult themes from the start.

'I can't put it in the past, I'm in the past!

She was so little...' Come on, Jackie, outside.

I didn't kill her. You found her, and you buried her!

You cannot handle it when it gets personal.

Figure yourself out.

'We're at a vital stage of the investigation.'

'The storm doesn't care about you or your investigation.'

We are completely cut off from the rest of the world.

He told us to stay away or else the Black Sow would try and drown us.

Who? Dylan.

Where is he, Cara? Jackie, come on, come on.

Where is he?

It's James. He's gone. I can't find him.

'We need to focus on finding that other waste site.

It's in the wall. It's in the fucking wall!'

From Sunnyside. Deliveries for the sea wall.

'Dylan Rees signed them in.'

Is James here? Jackie. Is James here?

No. Well, he's missing.

What? He went... from the muster point.

Why are you looking at me like that? Why are you wearing that?

Why are you wearing a Hazmat suit?

Um... um, we have to find James.

Where have you been? I haven't been anywhere.

Don't lie to me. I know about your hair on Cefin's body!

Do you think I had something to do with Cefin?

I don't know what I think. You're not telling me anything.

No. Don't do this again, Jackie, right?

I'm innocent. Like Lydia was innocent.

Don't let yourself go there. Then tell me.

I am. I'm telling you, I'm trying to explain what is...

what is happening here. But you're not explaining anything.

I've been... clearing stuff up, OK?

Keeping it away from the floodwater.

What "stuff", Dylan, requires a Hazmat suit?

For fuck's sake, I don't have time for this, right? James is missing.

We have to find him.

Why didn't you tell me about the hair?

Because you wouldn't have believed me. You don't trust me, Jackie.

You've made that very clear.

Cefin drowned in toxic water, Dylan.

And Nessa, she drew a man in a Hazmat suit days before she died.

And you think it was me?

Fuck you.

I'm going to find James.

Dylan!

James! James!

James! James!

Hey! Take care!

James!

He wouldn't have gone far, he just wouldn't.

Cara, go shelter at the farm. We'll keep searching, widen the area.

Yeah, Kieran, let's go.

No, I... I can't leave.

Is there anywhere else you think he could be?

I don't know.

He's just a scared little boy. He's just...

Deng? I think the waste site is at Sunnyside.

Sunnyside?

Where are you? Could Cefin have died there?

Maybe. I'm on my way.

Right. Bull, James Rees...

Fuck.

James!

James!

James!

Oh, my God...

James?!

James!

James?! James?

Oh, my God!

Dylan!

Jackie, get back in the car! We have to get out of here!

I'm not moving. Jackie, we have to leave.

We've gotta get uphill.

I'm not going anywhere until you tell me why you're wearing that suit.

James is missing.

This is fucking crazy. I need to find him!

Tell me.

We... We recycle waste. Hazardous waste.

What? At Sunnyside?

Yes! We crush it and put it into concrete for the sea wall.

You what? It's... It's for Morfa!

Jackie, just get back in the car. Please, I'm begging you.

I'll tell you everything you want to know.

That's why you told Cefin and James about the Black Sow. To scare them?

Right? To scare them from going to Sunnyside?

But that's exactly why he went. He went to go and look for it.

Cefin went to Sunnyside? Were you there?

Huh? No, Jackie, no, it's me, right?

It's me! Look at me. I'm telling you the truth, I swear.

I had nothing to do with it.

Then why didn't you tell me about the hair?

Because you don't trust me.

I know.

I know.

You're pregnant.

I've known for months. What?

And I've been waiting for you to tell me.

But you didn't. You never did.

You don't give a fuck about me, do you?

-What? -I'm just another way to waste your time.

Dylan, my time with you is the only good thing I have.

But listen to me.

Who else could have worn a suit like that with your hair on it?

Tell me.

It's Mac.

Mac?

No-one else deals with the waste. It's just me and Mac.

Aargh!

No!

Mac!

Mac Jones, open the door!

Open the door!

Shit.

His car's not here! I'll check around the back.

Shh, shhh, shhh!

Is Mac here?

Shh, shhh!

Nisha, why aren't you at the muster point?

Mac thought it would be safer here. Where is he? Where's Mac?

Sunnyside. Why?

Dylan?

What's happened? Is it the flooding?

I need to ask you something, Nisha.

And I need you to answer me as honestly as you possibly can.

What's happened?

The day Cefin died.

Did you notice anything unusual... about Mac?

What? Don't do this to us, Jackie.

I have to. No.

-You're driving yourself crazy. -with all of this. -Just hear me out.

Was Mac himself that day? Was he?

-I think it's best if you leave. Both. -of you. -We've been burying waste.

In the sea wall. Toxic waste.

What are you talking about?

Cefin - he was at Sunnyside that afternoon.

And he died in that waste.

Nish... No.

I know this is hard...

But I have reason to believe that Mac was there when it happened.

You've got no idea what you're talking about.

Just go. Please.

You have to remember something. No.

There doesn't have to be anything. Jackie, you're wrong.

I can't be wrong.

Please will you think about that day.

Think! I am begging you.

James! James!

James!

Come on... Fuck!

Hello? You can't leave me down here!

Anybody there?!

Dylan?! Is that you, Dylan?

It's me, James.

James!

James, is that you? Can you hear me?

Dylan?

Can you hear me, mate?

I am stuck in this room. I need your help.

It's Eric Bull. Can you hear me, mate?

I need you to help me, mate.

Listen, James, I need you to try and find me.

I tell you what, mate.

I'm just gonna keep talking. Alright?

I'm gonna keep talking and if you can hear me...

I want you to keep following my voice, OK?

I'm gonna need you to be quick, though. James?

D'you know? My best friend was called James when I was young.

He was called James Cook. He was me best friend in the world.

I loved him.

I really loved him.

And he died as well.

He was only 14. We both were.

We were kids.

No, no, no...

James, can you hear me?

Me and James used to love going into buildings like this.

Oh!

But, you see, where we grew up it wasn't like here.

It wasn't like Morfa.

It was dangerous, you see.

And he got himself into a really dangerous situation.

And I was too scared to help him, you see.

So I know how that feels.

And I know how you must feel about Cefin.

You know, I think about him every day.

Every day of me life.

And d'you know why?

Because he was a star. He was a superstar.

Cefin was a superstar too.

Listen. OK. I'm by the door now.

So what I need you to do...

You OK? Are you OK? Yeah?

-Yeah. -You sure? -Yeah.

Listen, you should never have come here, it's too dangerous.

I had to come. Cefin was here.

I wanted to prove it. I know he was, mate.
