Three years ago, I lost my little sister. Hello. She went out to a party. Hello. And she never came home. This is you and Mr Morrow at 4.12am. I'm sorry? She was alive. Hi, I'm Nathan. I'm... a friend of Holly's. Look, all I wanna do is to make her happy, and she is. She's happy. She doesn't know? You have to tell her. Tell her what? Oh, uh, that you were there. That night. It's just... this bloke. Nathan's mate... Bob. Who's Bob? We have to move it. It can't wait any more. It has to be tomorrow. Can I help you? All right, all right. All right. GASPS And you were alone at this point? Just me and Bob. Gently. Show some respect. I think that's it. We have to get cleaned up and changed. www.able.co.nz Able 2022 CHURCH BELLS, APPLAUSE GLASS CHIMES, APPLAUSE FADES I just wanted to add one thing. We all know there's a guest missing today. Since we were tiny, Elise and I used to talk about our wedding day. What we'd wear, mostly. But also who we'd marry. Actually, she was pretty set on George Michael. LAUGHTER I told her it wasn't likely, but she wouldn't be told. She never would, would she? A lot of the time, she refused to accept that she had to marry a boy at all. All she really wanted was the dress, the shoes and... And to walk down the aisle with Dad. But she's here in spirit. She wouldn't miss my wedding day. I can tell she approves of the boy I married. And more importantly, she loves my shoes. LAUGHTER But, by now, she'd be wanting to kick off her kitten heels and start dancing. So I'd like you please to stand... ..and join me in a toast... to my beautiful, beautiful sister. Elise! ALL: Elise! APPLAUSE SOBS CREAKING CREAKING CONTINUES CREAKING GROWS LOUDER Where are we? My lock-up. It's locked. Unlock it. Now what? We leave it here till we know what to do with it. What? No, that's mad. Fine. What do you suggest? Burn it. Where? In here? No, it's too... Then where? I don't know. Outside somewhere. And if someone sees us and asks us what we're doing? NATHAN SIGHS All right, then. The clothes. Let's just burn the clothes. We can do that right now, in here. Come on. Any blood, hair? I can't believe I'm doing this. Trace DNA's hardly the point, she's in the back of my car. Oh! OK, then... er, let's dissolve it with hydrochloric acid. Good idea, have you got any on you? No. Do you know where to get it in quantity? Do you know how to handle it safely? NATHAN SIGHS Look, Nathan, nobody's looking for her, so nobody's gonna find her. Let's not do anything careless just because we're worn out and scared. I can't just leave her in the freezer. Why not? Cos it's... it's grotesque. It's horrible. Is it worse than where she was? PHONE RINGS RINGING CONTINUES Hi, babe, who won? Dad and Jacki. 'Ah, course they did.' You still with Bob? Still with Bob. What are you doing up? 'Oh, nothing really. I just got a bit freaked out.'

Look, listen, I'll be home soon. Don't worry too much. I just managed to spook myself. How was your evening? Uh... Well, it's, uh... It's been... To be honest, it's been a weird night. 'Is everything all right?' Yeah, yeah, everything's fine. I'll explain when I get home. 'OK.' Are you sure you're all right? 'Yeah. Home soon, soon as I can.' Um... OK, listen, I better be off. Love you. You too. 'You sure you're OK?' Yeah. You? Yeah, I'm good. See you in a bit. "It was a weird night?" What was I supposed to say? I dunno. "Bob and I had a few drinks and fired up the Xbox?" "Bob and I went to a casino?" Anything. Yeah, course, but she knew something was off. So lie to her. I can't. We trust each other. Right. No. No, no, no. No, no, no. You and I, we don't discuss this. No, of course, fine. I get it. No, you don't. She can never know. Fine. Oh, Christ. I just... I just want this to end. I want it to be over, I want my life back. EXHALES Elise would say something similar. I didn't kill her, Bob! I didn't! YELLING: I didn't! CRYING, BANGING It'll be over soon. We've come this far, let's not do anything stupid.

I freaked myself out and got paranoid. I thought this might help. What? Well, you're lurking there like that bloke from the Addams Family. Sorry, it's just. Um, I'm just... ..still a bit wound up. So what happened? What way? Your "weird" night. Oh... No, it was... It was nothing. Come on! So what did he want? To borrow money. From us? Huh. What money? That's... That's what I said. You hardly know him! I don't think I was the first person he went to. How much did he want? 10,000. Pounds?! Yeah. What for?! Payday loan. No?! Yeah. Well, you know how these things can just... ..just spiral out of control. You should send him to Citizens' Advice. Yeah, no, I... No, I-I... ..suggested that, but he didn't really-he didn't really bite. Is he gonna be a problem? Is he gonna keep coming back? No. No, tonight is the end of it. I hope so. Blimey. Ten grand! What was he thinking? To be honest, that's why I stayed so late, because... ..I was a bit worried he might, y'know... ..do-do something. It's that bad? I don't know. He seemed pretty desperate. But that's why I couldn't text or whatever. I-I-I-I was just... I was-I was like... STUTTERS So what are you gonna do? Uh... Well, right now, I'm off to bed. OK. I'll be up in a minute.

'Why?' There was a lock on the freezer. You put it there. You fixed the hasp. You bought a padlock. Which means you've thought this through, you've got a plan. What do you mean? I need you to tell me what it is. Why? Because I don't trust you, Bob. 'And I need to be sure my wife doesn't get hurt.' When can you get here? NATHAN SCOFFS I'm not going to your place. 'Never again. I'm not stepping foot in there.' Meet me at the pub, then. 'The one at the top of my road, six o'clock.' Cheers. Where is she? What have you done with her, you lying bastard?

Yeah, soon as you can. Sorry. I've got a work thing on. It's about Holly. What happened to her? Is everything OK? 'Er, no, not really.' Actually, it's not about Holly. It's about Elise. Nathan... ..what are you saying? 'That I lied...' ..to the police. About what happened that night. I told a lie. 'I told a lie.' Be at my office in ten minutes. CAR STARTS What are you doing? Why have you stopped? CAR ENGINE STOPS Mr Morrow? Yeah? DCI Hadley. We met... ..a long time ago. Really? When was that? I actually interviewed you, during the Elise Fox investigation. Oh, right. You've changed a bit. I wonder, do you have a moment? To what? Sorry. I'm confused. Is something wrong? Not at all. I'd just like a chat, clear a few things up. Won't take more than five minutes. We can do it now if you like? I honestly can't, sorry. I've got company. OK. My details are on here. Give me a call to arrange a better time. Right, yeah. I'll-I'll do that. Happy to chat. Is this your car? It is, why? Last time we met you had this beautiful old Citroen. Left hand drive, lovely thing. Whatever happened to it? I sold it. Really? What a shame. Yeah, well. Out of interest, who did you sell it to? Sorry? The car. Oh, right. I don't remember. I only ask because there's no record of sale. No car with that registration currently insured in the UK. Still, none of my business, eh? Good night. I'll look forward to your call. You know, actually, why don't I just call you? It'll be simpler that way, right? Whichever, I don't mind. Excellent. Speak to you soon. INTENSE MUSIC MUSIC INTENSIFIES KEYS RATTLE IN LOCK Jesus! Come on! Come on, come on, come on, come on. Hello, mate. Drink? Whisky? Water? Ice? There's no ice. Water, then. I suppose you went to the lock-up. Yeah. Thought you might. I was worried. About what? About the way things were happening. The problem is you won't accept what's happening. You do realise she's here with us now, watching? No, there's nobody. Liar. Nathan, do you actually want this to stop? Yeah. Because I know how to do it. I didn't, but I do now. OK, how? One of the most common forms of haunting... Please, Bob, not now. No, listen, listen, it's important. One of the most common forms of haunting is the roadside ghost. Usually, it's the apparition of a young woman who's died after sex. She's been buried in unhallowed ground, usually between a road and a river. She tends to manifest as a lost young woman seeking help, so... ..after... what happened... ..I used to scan the papers to see if there'd been any reported sightings, anything that might be the spectre of Elise Fox. I'd drive down the lane at night, sometimes two or three times a week, more in the early days, but... she was never there. NATHAN EXHALES According to all the literature, the tradition, all the folklore, she should've been in the woods! But she wasn't. Bob, what are you doing? It's... I thought I'd done something wrong, made a mistake... Wh-What does that mean? Oh, come on, it was perfect! The dark woods. The running water, lovers lane, the young woman, the sex. It was all there, all the elements! How could I not grasp an opportunity like that? Opportunity? To what? To prove it! T-To prove... what? That we're more than this, this shit! I'm-I'm finding it... BREATHING HEAVILY ..hard to... understand this. Pr-Pr-Prove it how? By making a ghost. I don't know what you're saying. I don't understand. I was pretty sure that if Elise died in that place, under those circumstances, the result would be, well... a haunting. So... ..I nudged things along. NATHAN EXHALES Oh, my God. You did... You did it. Sh-She died, Bob. A person died and you killed her. Jesus Christ. Do you have any idea what you've done to us? # I'll never get enough # VOICE-OVER: Domino's Pizza and cheese toastie. # Now that Domino's made eyes # ..a deliciously cheesy duet. # With cheese toastie crust love # Cheese toastie crust, $2.50 extra at Domino's. How is it? Sore. I burst into tears today. Watching an advert for tissues. So... Look away. So it must be doing something, all the hormones. NATHAN: I don't know what you're saying. I don't understand. I'm saying, I was pretty sure that if Elise died in that place, under those circumstances, the result would be, well, a haunting. So... ..I nudged things along. You nudged things along. In what, in what way? It was mostly cyanide. I'd been carrying it around for years. In case... In case, what? I ever needed it. Ever needed it, why? For myself. It was sort of a comfort knowing it was always there. Did you really do this to us? She... She died... Bob. A person died. Is she breathing? Is she breathing? Stand back! Stand over there! What did you do? What did you do? SHOUTING: What did you do? Look at her! What did you do? You blamed me. And you did it. Yeah, except death isn't real. It's just a transition from one state to another. And a ghost is just an echo of that transition. A reverberation. That was the theory, anyway. Before I had a chance to test it. To test it. You did this to Elise. Yeah. If it makes any difference, it was impulsive. I was off my head. I saw a chance and... Christ. Do you have any idea what you've done to us? What is it? Watch what you're doing. I don't think I did, not really. But I do now. Hey, hey, hey. What's the matter? Something skewed the outcome, I just didn't know what. I mean, it soon became evident that she was always with me. Jesus, she was so angry. Nothing would make her go away. The opposite. It just got worse and worse. You must have felt that, too, right, the escalation? No. I couldn't account for it. Until I pitched up at your place and found out what you'd done. It's not real. She wants us to put it right. Put it right... How can you ever put it right? You killed someone. She's dead because of you. You can never put it right. We have to admit what we did. WHISPERING: No. No, no, no, no. That is never going to happen. Ever. It's already happening. The police were here tonight. They already know something. Won't be long before they're back. No, no. Holly will not find out, she can't find out. She cannot find out. You buried her sister in the woods. You took advantage of her guilt to worm your way into bed with her. That's not true, no. SHOUTING: That didn't happen! I love her! It's not real, Nathan. It is real. It's real. We did this together. No, we... WE didn't. YOU did it. We have to return Elise to her family. Let them bury her. Let them say goodbye properly. It will break her heart. It would destroy her. I know it's hard, but you have to understand. I'm giving you a chance here. Elise is giving you a chance. A chance... If you let me do this alone, Elise will never forgive you. She'll never go away, she'll always be there. You have to let them go, both of them. I can't. I can't. 'This isn't about staying out of prison any more, Nathan. 'This isn't about punishment.' 'It's not about prison, I don't care about that. 'It's about protecting Holly and her family. 'I won't do this to them. It's not fair. It's cruel.' I know it's a lot to take in and I want you to do the right thing, I really do, but I can't wait. You've got a day. I can't stand it any longer than that. One more day or I'll go mad. TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC So what's this all about? We said ten minutes. Where have you been? So you lied. How? Robert Morrow. I told you that the night he picked me up, he was on his way home from the party. He was actually on his way back to the party. Back to the party from where? He said he'd stopped into town to score some cocaine and, fair play, he had plenty on him, so, yeah... And you said nothing about this because...? Come on! Because of the drugs. I didn't want to get in trouble. And I didn't think it mattered at the time. And Robert Morrow? This is the same Bob who suddenly pitches up at your place out of clear blue sky. Holly told me. She was worried about you. OK. So what did he want? Nothing. Well, not at first anyway. He just wanted a drink and I'm desperate to get rid of him, for obvious reasons, so I agree to meet him and he starts talking about that night. About the girl who disappeared at the party. Did I ever think about what might have happened to her? Did I ever dream about her? I keep trying to change the subject. It's making me feel pretty weird... Yeah, I can imagine. ..but he keeps circling back to it. It's like he's fixated. And it's all I can think about now. That lie. Like, where was he really coming back from? You know, all these years I didn't think it mattered, but now? I don't know. I just don't know. But I'm worried about Holly. I'm scared he might... What? Oh, I don't know. There's something wrong with him. I swear to God, he's not right. He gives me the creeps. And if something were to happen to Holly... Listen, you do know what you're doing here, right? You're setting things in motion that can't be stopped. SIRENS Someone said he'd seen her... ..that night... ..after Bob and I had got home. I always thought that put Bob in the clear. Yeah. Me, too. So who was it? Who saw her? Her ex-boyfriend. She woke him up... ..banging on the bedroom window. Crying. Distressed, demanding to be let inside. By the time he got to the window, she'd wandered off. And you didn't find that strange? Of course we did. It always felt off. But people who go to parties, they come home drunk. They've had drugs. They get confused about what happened when. What happened at all. So he, what, got it wrong? I don't think so, no. I was just never convinced he saw what he thought he did. WHISPERING: So what do you think he saw? To be honest, I don't know. Probably someone else. Some other girl. I don't know... Sometimes, I still lay in bed at night thinking about it. BIRDSONG BIRDSONG DOOR SHUTS I'm sorry. That doesn't mean anything. I know. So what am I supposed to think? That you were in someone's bed? You know that's not gonna happen. Then where were you? Is this something to do with Bob? Just thinking. About what? Are you gonna tell me? Today? Now? WHISPERING: I can't. I am your wife. I love you. I know. REFLECTIVE MUSIC MUSIC: 'As Long As I Have You' by Myrna Rowlands DOORBELL RINGS DOORBELL CONTINUES TO RING MUSIC STOPS I've brought whisky. Ice? There's no ice. So, how was your day? I thought about telling her myself. I, I tried to, but I just looked at her... There's no way. I can't do it. So, erm, she's got this, er, friend. Jackie. She's a copper. The one who was here last night. Yeah. And you're right. If she was here last night, she must know something. And it feels like it's about to come out anyway. It's not like we can stop it now. No. I thought about killing myself. I understand that. I've been thinking about it since I was 19. But that just seemed like another terrible thing to do to her. So we go to Jackie. Yeah. But not tonight. Just give me one more week with her. Just, like, another two days. Another day. Just one more day with her. No. Why not? I need it to end. Just one more drink, then. One more drink and then we go. OMINOUS MUSIC RECORD SCRATCHES So I realised something. Yeah, what's that? I was supposed to die, too, right? WHISPERING: Can you kiss me first? 'That night we were both supposed to take it.' Yeah. Ready? Not yet. The longer we wait, the harder it'll be. Just let me finish my drink. Are you all right? Yeah, just give me a minute. Nathan, what are you doing? I'm killing you. There's sleeping tablets in the whisky. THUD, GROANS SPLUTTERS, CHOKES Did you really think I'd let you hurt her like that? Ever? Really? She's never gonna know, Bob. Never, ever. Because I love her. Do you understand that, you mad bastard? I love her. I love her. And no-one is ever going to hurt her. Where's the key to the safe? I need Elise's dress. It's got my DNA all over it, hasn't it? Where is it? Where's the key to the safe? WHISPERING: Where's the key? OMINOUS MUSIC OPERATOR ON PHONE: '999.

PHONE RINGS 'By who?' Nathan. 'Jackie.' Where are you? Is everything OK? 'Er...' No, I'm with Bob. Erm, Robert Morrow. I've just come to his flat. I think he's taken an overdose. Is he breathing? I don't think so. I've called 999. I'll be right there. I'm on my way. KEYS JINGLING SIRENS APPROACHING Where's the dress? Where's the dress? Where's the dress, you mad bastard? Where's the dress?

How could I? How could you not? I wanted to. I knew I should of. But there never seemed to be a right time. And then it was too late. You knew it was him? WHISPERING: My God... No, I had no idea. And then he pitched up here and I started to wonder. Yeah... Then I started to think he might have... You know. I started to think it might've been be him. But you were with him. That night. Yeah. But that was... ..that was after. It must've been... ..after. I didn't know. Not in a million years. You should have told me. WHISPERING: You should have told me. I'm moving home.

As soon as you're feeling up to it. No rush. What kind of questions? There's nothing to be nervous about. You just have to think carefully about a few things that happened last night. Things like... what? Well, there's the 999 call. What about it? It was made from Mr Morrow's phone. Right. Right, OK, yeah, I get you. Um... No, that was just, um... He was rambling and rambling and then he just sort of collapsed. And I basically just freaked out. His phone was on the table. I just basically grabbed it. I wasn't thinking and... It was just there, in front of me. There you are. There's always an explanation. So, how are you sleeping? I'm sorry? Holly tells me you've been having trouble sleeping. Oh... Well, yeah, I've... Yeah, I've been pretty stressed. Have you seen a doctor? Um... No, not for a while. But when you did, did he give you something to help? He did, yeah. It wasn't Temazepam, was it? Why?
