This programme contains some strong language

and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting

You have to put things right. Because of what you did.

-I want to talk about what's really happening.

-Which is?

About your being raped.

-Just leave me alone.

-Stop trying to save her.

I don't know how to do that.

-You're here with me.

-Why haven't the police arrested him yet?

-He's protected.

-By who?

Businesspeople, politicians, the police...

DS Tom Gillespie.

I'm Rory's handler.

You belong to Alistair.

I let him know about the police investigation.

I'm worried about her. She could be in actual danger.

Maybe she likes it.

STRUGGLING

You could have just left it alone!

THUMP

# You

# You have me hooked again and now I have no choice

# But to follow

# I'm sinking faster

# I'm sinking faster, yeah

# I'm sinking faster into the deep... #

Stop it!

SHE SCREAMS

We need to go.

Holly. It's OK.

VIBRATING STOPS

Are you ready to talk?

I can't take it - not knowing what's in your head.

You kept going.

You kept hitting him.

You weren't breathing.

And he wasn't going to stop.

I had to make him stop.

I made a choice. For you.

I think you'd have done the same.

I know you would.

Someone will find him.

I know.

So we need to go to the police.

We need to tell them what happened.

I don't think that's a good idea.

But if that's what you want...

What other choice have we got?

Then we need to be ready for what's coming.

I'll go to prison. You will, too.

-We'll explain what happened.

-Rory worked for the police.

You think they're just going to take our word for it?

-He told me what he did to James.

-He's dead, Holly.

I'm sorry.

We need someone to help us.

It's just us now.

Till we can work out what to do.

If we can prove it...

..what Alistair did, what Rory did, then...

..maybe we can make them believe us.

Maybe.

This doesn't feel real.

It's good to see you, Ruth, in spite of all this.

You understand why you're here?

Of course.

The media, I could probably handle.

But the parents are calling in now.

Every kid with a conditional offer for next year.

-The department's in freefall.

-The initiative was mine.

It existed outside Solasta.

And I was behind you, Jude, you know that.

I wanted the scheme to work.

I was fighting for those girls to realise their full potential.

But it didn't work out like that, though, did it?

The press are calling you a pimp for your brother.

I didn't know.

I know that, Jude, but maybe you SHOULD have.

This isn't just about what he's done, is it?

You were teaching those girls

something some of them were not equipped to understand.

I was teaching them to be pragmatic.

And it backfired.

Those girls got hurt.

-I want you to let me put this right.

-Oh, for God's sake.

I am firing you, Jude.

All right.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING

Holly.

What are you doing?

-Going to Solasta.

-Why?

If I can get to Alistair, I can get him to tell me what he did.

-What he made Rory do.

-You can't leave me here.

You said.

You said this was the only way.

I can't...

I can't do it. I can't.

Don't make me do this whole thing by myself. I need you to help me.

Isn't your first exam today?

What?

Put some clothes on and go and take it.

It'll stop people coming looking for us.

Hey.

We said we'd be brave, didn't we?

-'Who is it?'

-Elizabeth Smith.

I'm a student on your macroeconomics module.

'Not any more.'

That was very rude.

'What do you want?'

Your time.

I deserve it, too.

And I know things.

Things you should know.

DOOR RELEASE BUZZER SOUNDS

Well?

I should tell you I'm the one who put that video on in your lecture.

Do you want a sticker(?)

Didn't even work.

Nothing happened to Alistair.

And now Holly's gone with her.

With who?

I can tell you what you got in your Highers.

I can tell you the name of your first boyfriend.

I know your dad wished you were a boy.

I can't tell you anything about Rachel Maddox

before she came to this uni.

She doesn't exist.

Thought I knew her.

Been wrong about a lot this year.

Come on, then, you tell me.

What's she doing?

Rachel won't leave Holly alone.

I know she makes Holly...do things she wouldn't normally do.

Rachel side-stepped me to get Georgia onto the scheme, not Holly.

Where Georgia goes, Holly will follow.

Look, Holly's been getting messages.

It's how she got the corruption stuff in Fay's video.

But when Rachel saw it, she wasn't surprised.

It's like she knew.

Like she'd already seen it.

ELEVATOR PINGS

Where have you been?

Bit of drama and everyone goes AWOL. It's pathetic.

Don't lump me in with everyone else.

-It's offensive.

-Yeah, well, I appreciate it.

-You should.

I saved your skin with Fay, didn't I?

Why you bringing that up?

It's relevant, isn't it?

Well, only if you allow yourself to be whipped up

by a couple of mad bitches with a vendetta.

I think we're way beyond "a couple of mad bitches".

What's wrong with you?

It's been nice.

I liked helping you.

What the fuck, Rach? I don't have time for this shit right now.

Holly's got it all.

Steiner, the fraud, the accounts.

She worked it all out. Just like Fay.

Is this a joke, or...?

Don't worry. I can help you.

But I need you to do something for me.

Aww. This is precious.

Are you actually attempting to threaten me here?

-Not at all.

-I suggest you stop.

You see, I don't care about your stupid little friend

and what she thinks she knows,

and I certainly don't care that you woke up this morning

and lost your fucking mind.

There's a flat, Alistair.

Belonged to Fay and James.

No-one knew about it.

It's full of things about you.

All their hard work.

Does seem a bit weird, doesn't it,

them both being dead?

I can give you the address.

Give you a chance to go and sort a few things out.

Or I could give that address to the police,

let them decide what to do with it.

Why are you doing this?

Because you stopped being useful.

And I got bored.

I swear to God, if this gets out...

Come on. You don't do this part, remember?

That was what Rory was for.

Oh, and he left.

So no protection from the police investigation either.

What do you want?

You should probably leave Edinburgh.

There's nothing I can do about the fraud investigation.

That's on its way regardless.

I'm taking the beach house.

I always liked it there.

Don't go back. OK?

Oh, yeah -

Fay's flat keys.

Bye, boss.

CHAIR SCRAPES

Eyes on your papers, please.

INDISTINCT CHATTERING

-Holly, I need to talk to you.

-No.

These messages that you've been getting,

you know who's sending them?

None of that matters any more.

Whatever you are doing, you have to stop.

Where's Rachel?

I'm fine, Jude. I'm all right.

SHE CRIES

PHONE RINGS

-DS Gillespie.

-'Hello.'

You need to come. I don't know what to do.

Wait, slow down.

INDISTINCT

Tell me your name.

SHE CRIES

What's the address?

-'..apartment by The Shore.'

-Uh-huh.

SHE EXHALES

Hello...?

Oh, fuck!

Oh, no!

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Oh, Jesus!

I don't know what happened.

Stay where you are, McDermid.

I was sent here.

I didn't touch him.

Who are you?

Did you come back for these... or to clear up?

I didn't do this.

You've bought your way out of every single charge

I've come close to getting you on for two years.

Not any more, you arrogant prick. It's over.

No, no, no. Listen to me.

I was sent here by a woman called Rachel Maddox.

She set me up. She's fucking mental.

-No, you found out Rory was with us.

-No.

Did you think killing him was going to make everything go away?

-Just listen to me for a...

-Shut up! Stop talking!

What's YOUR name?

Mm?

Fuck you.

Where you going?

Move.

Move!

You fucking...

HE SCREAMS

I need a unit.

'Go ahead.'

24 Tyrell Street. Flat 5/1.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

Move it.

-Hey.

-Hey, babe.

Thank God you're here.

Everyone in there's so fucking miserable.

What are you making?

I want a blue cocktail.

I don't know what makes one of those, but I'm having one.

-Are you in?

-Sure.

I'll be back in a sec.

CHATTERING

Sorry. Came as quickly as I could.

Babe, you look rough.

We don't know what to do with her. She's not packed.

Yeah, and she's definitely taken something.

-I'll deal with it.

-How?

She just needs to sober up. I'll put her to bed for a bit.

And then what? You guys have got to be out of here by the morning,

and she's not staying at mine.

-It's fine, honestly.

-It's not fine, Rachel, none of it's fine.

-Are you going to come to Charlie's?

-No.

Me and Holly are going to leave town for a few days.

And go where?

She just needs to get away from all of this.

New best buds, then.

-Is she OK?

-Why do you care so much?

She's just destroyed everything.

Don't get pulled back into this shit.

Look, guys - we're done, all right?

Rachel, you're welcome at mine, but...

just don't bring her like that. OK?

Holly won't go with you, you know.

She won't leave her.

She will.

Come on, darling. Time to go.

-Where?

-Alistair's.

-He's been asking for you.

-Did you speak to him?

I've tried calling, but I couldn't get through.

I thought he was angry with me.

He's upset, but not with you.

He needs you.

You keep trying to help, but you just make things worse.

Tell me what to do.

I'm dead, Holly. I can't tell you anything.

There's something wrong with me.

People always get hurt.

Bit narcissistic, isn't it?

Rory, Georgia...

Lisa?

Is that really true?

I mean, you were a little girl,

you played a stupid prank that went wrong.

-Did you mean to hurt her?

-No.

No.

You have to forgive yourself.

I can't.

Why not? She did.

Georgia.

Fay, wait.

I need you to tell me what to do.

You don't get it yet.

But you will.

You're perfect.

PHONE VIBRATES

-RACHEL:

-'Holly.'

Where are you?

What's going on?

'Meet me in The Windsor. I'll be there in an hour.'

I can't stand it any more.

'It's OK. I'm on my way back. I'll explain everything.'

It's OK.

You're OK.

What's happening?

In a sec. I need to tell you something.

Sit down.

What did you feel?

When?

When I did it.

-When I killed Rory.

-Stop it.

Did you feel it here?

Kind of like... a vibration, like...

the second before you come, you know.

-I know you felt it.

-What are you saying?

It's over, Holly.

We made it.

Now it's only Georgia in the way,

just like Lisa was.

What do you want?

Come on, Holly.

You still don't remember?

Remember what?

I've been trying to remind you.

But it's OK.

I'll save you, like you saved me.

Let go.

Milly?

Yes!

'Holly!'

Holly! Milly!

She's going to stalk us.

She's so weird.

If she finds us, we get infected.

-We're going to have to live here...

-Forever.

THEY LAUGH

You were so powerful.

You were the most powerful girl I'd ever known.

I was so scared of who I was.

You made it OK.

For the first time in my life

I knew there were other people like me,

because YOU were like me.

Have you forgotten?

That's so sad, Holly.

Lisa has to do it.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I've been getting you to the right place.

'Get in. I like it when you're happy.

'You're here with me.

'Stop trying to say you're so powerful.

'I'm with you, Holly. Maybe you need to let her go.

'You're here at last.'

I tried to remind you with Fay, but...it didn't work.

We weren't together.

I think we need to be together when they die.

Sending you her stupid research and video was the long way round,

but...it worked.

Someone's sending me things.

These messages that you've been getting -

you know who sent them, don't you?

You get it now?

You killed her.

She was ready to go.

She did the first one herself.

I just...gave her a little push.

It's your turn now.

You need to let Georgia go.

It's OK to be scared. I'll help you.

It's just us now.

You understand?

Where's Georgia?

I'm only taking you if you're ready.

If you want to see her, come with me.

She's waiting for us.

Come on.

PHONE RINGS

'Jude.'

What do you want, Al?

Rory's dead.

'Murdered.'

They've arrested me for it.

JUDE MUMBLES

Did you do it?

Do you honestly think I'm capable of that?

She came to the office, she...

She threatened me. She was fucking insane.

She set me up.

Rachel.

I think Rachel killed Rory, Jude.

'You created her.

'She helped you to ruin people.

'What is she doing?'

'I swear, I don't know.'

'What does she want?'

'I don't know.

'My money, maybe.'

I've got no idea.

She took the keys to the beach house.

What?!

'Jude, please, please, please, just come down here.

'Come down here and tell me what you know.'

I didn't do this.

She's dangerous, Al.

So come and help me. Get down here and help me.

'Jude...'

DIAL TONE Jude?

What did you give her? She might have overdosed.

There you go again, still feeling responsible for her weakness.

That was the saddest part about seeing you again.

Seeing how unlike yourself she'd made you.

-You know the real me.

-Yes.

Why are you here?

-I don't want you here.

-Tell the truth.

You're ruining this for me.

You're jealous. You don't want me to be happy.

She's not like you, is she, Holly?

No.

She's a liability. Never able to take care of herself.

Always looking to you to sort things out.

You resent that, don't you?

Yes.

I hate you.

You're going to do it again. Just like last time.

You'll feel better afterwards, I promise.

'Hi, this is Holly's phone, I can't...'

'You've reached Georgia Cunningham. I'm unable...'

It's almost the same as home, isn't it?

It's beautiful, don't you think?

What's happening?

We can get it back. That feeling we have together.

When you're ready.

What are you doing?

Holly, what's she doing?

Just like before.

Make her stop.

It doesn't work like that any more, George. Look.

Go on, Holly, do it. Make me stop.

-No, Milly.

-You see?

Turn around.

Turn around!

This is it. You're free, Holly. We're free.

THEY GASP FOR AIR

Swim, Georgia. Swim.

THEY PANT

Why did you do that?

You're going to stop now, Rachel.

-But you're like me.

-Maybe once, but not any more.

Why do you love her?

Because she saved me.

Because she saved me from you.

(Do it.)

'They're sending me to live with my dad.'

Don't forget about me, OK?

I'm so sorry.

Milly, come on.

Who was that?

No-one.

'Holly!'

Holly!

MUSIC: Coming Back by Scenic Route To Alaska

I knew it. We're not even in the same tutorial group.

We live together, Elizabeth.

You're not going to miss me that much.

That's not what I meant, I meant for covering each other's absences.

When was your last absence?

Primary 2.

Wow.

I had the chickenpox.

Oh, are we still on for Strictly and hot Vimto party later?

I'm going to drink wine...

but yeah.

And do you think... THEY'LL be joining us?

You should go down and hang out with them, they're not that bad.

Yeah, well...

time will tell.

Right, I won't be long.

Adorable.

Are you guys going to get dressed today?

Job doesn't start till next week.

I'm leaning towards hottest kept woman as a career.

She just got accepted on to her master's.

Congrats.

Are you going out?

Yeah, I'm going to go meet my dad for lunch.

I'll be back in a bit.

Have fun.

Hey.

Hi.

Louise asked me over.

Yeah, of course. Come in.

I don't really know what I'm going to say to them.

It's hard for everyone right now. Don't worry.

Yeah.

How have you been?

OK.

It's good to get home for a bit.

I'm going to retake the term.

Cool.

Different course.

Good shout.

Were you just leaving?

Yeah, erm...I'm just going out for a bit, but I'll be back later on.

If you're hanging about, we...

Yeah, cool, we should...

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Hey, George.

-Hey.

-Come up.

-Hi.

-Hi.

How are you?

Good. Just moved into a new house.

First term down.

You?

I think it'll take a while.

Maybe it should.

Yeah.

I wish we'd had more time to talk. I want to tell you how sorry...

You don't need it, Jude.

I'm fine. We're...

We're all fine.

I'm going to...

You should come back to work, Professor.
