Episode 3 - Part 2 Hinterland

The car is registered to a Greta Pritchard,

a primary school teacher at Plas Y Dderwen School

in the village of Glanrhyd.

That is not Greta.

That is not my daughter.

One dead, one missing.

I didn't kill this girl

and I don't know...

where Greta is.

'When I saw Kasia's body,'

I panicked.

Some place.

The owner died of a broken heart.

It's been empty ever since.

Never know what goes on in people's heads.

Were you and Greta close? Not like her and Rhian.

Do you speak English?

What have you got on Prosser that keeps him so close to you?

Stay away from me.

RECORDING: 'Why did you run?'

'I was frightened.'

Was Kasia your friend?

Best friends...

since when we were little.

Did you come to the UK together?

No.

Kasia came first...

six months ago.

I have only been here for three weeks.

DOOR OPENING

DOOR CLOSING

Bronka.

DCI Mathias.

There's no need to be afraid. I thought you were going to hurt me.

I saw you at the hotel and at Greta's house.

I thought you had taken my friend. It's OK, Bronka,

I'm a police officer. She didn't come home. I didn't know where she was.

Bronka, when did you last see Kasia?

PANTING

Monday.

Greta told her to come to the flat...

..to collect her stuff.

They were friends?

Yes.

Sometimes, Greta and Kasia have a drink.

Sometimes, Kasia stays the night there.

Greta was teaching her English.

So, why did Greta ask Kasia to collect her stuff?

There was an argument.

What about?

We need to know, Bronka.

There was a row...

..about Greta's father.

Was Kasia sleeping with him?

Yes.

For money? No!

It wasn't like that.

Kasia cared about Greta's father.

She liked him very much.

Why did Greta's father give Kasia money?

It was...

..for Kasia's daughter...

..in Poland.

To help pay for her to come here.

Kasia loved her daughter very much.

She missed her.

The money was a gift.

Can you think of anyone

that would want to hurt Kasia?

A friend?

A colleague? Someone she talked about?

We were in a cafe with Greta...

..there was a man.

He was shouting.

When?

Last week...

on the front.

He was angry. Greta was upset. Him? Was it him?

No. Are you sure? No, it is not him.

No! It's him!

'That's him.'

This is him.

I knew as soon as I'd done it, I'd regret it.

But I had to tell her.

Greta wasn't pulling her weight in school, while Rhian was doing

everything for her.

And with Rhian expecting her first baby,

I just didn't think it was fair.

Rhian taking the strain while Greta was out every night

drowning her sorrows.

And what did you tell her?

That she had to stop drinking.

To think of other people.

To pull herself together, stop feeling sorry for herself.

To listen to those with her best interests at heart.

Like you?

In a way, yes.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to worry you, ba.

You've got enough on your plate.

I thought...

I thought I could get through to her.

And did you?

She wouldn't listen.

Made a bit of a scene. I just left.

It was embarrassing.

Greta was involved with someone online.

Does the name Ben Willis mean anything to you?

No.

Sorry.

CLUNK

ELECTRICAL WHIRRING

WHIRRING STOPS

I hear you spoke to Iwan Thomas.

That's right.

Did he have anything interesting to say for himself?

The man is in pain.

He's lost everything.

His life is in ruins.

Some people can handle the pressure.

Others fall by the wayside.

Well...

..we all have to carry our pack.

Iwan Thomas is a dangerous man.

He's a drunk. He's not to be trusted.

You should stay away from him.

He is grieving, sir.

He needs to let go of the past.

Don't let him drag you down, Tom.

You have pulled yourself together,

put the past behind you.

That is the difference between you and him.

Don't forget that.

What was he doing there?

Why was he at the site?

I don't know.

DOOR OPENING

Greta Pritchard.

Her mother's death sent her off the rails.

She couldn't handle the grief.

She was lonely, she found solace online.

Ben Willis.

But it was too much, too soon,

so she broke it off. And that's when she met Harry Jenkins.

When the anonymous letters started,

the silent phone calls, the hang-ups, Greta thought it was Harry

that was responsible, but it wasn't. It was this guy - Ben Willis.

Somebody has got to know who he is.

You're right, Mared. But who?

'Ben Willis.'

Greta had a relationship with him online,

for a number of months, before she cut contact.

Ben Willis.

Wait a minute.

Now, then...

There he is.

Benjamin Willis.

He was the groundsman on the estate.

Helped build the school after the Great War.

He looked after the house and gardens all his life.

Can I keep this?

Of course. Thanks.

Benjamin Willis devoted his life to the estate.

He was obsessed by it. Arwyn Parry knows every inch of the estate.

'He also knows the history. I think he has used the name'

Ben Willis as an alias.

I think he is our killer.

'Get all units over to the school.'

Greta could still be alive.

We also need to warn Rhian. She could be in danger.

It's over.

I know it was you that killed Kasia.

Hello?

Greta?!

I'm in the well!

Over here!

Greta! Please help me! Please!

Please help me! Please!

Greta, it's going to be all right.

Please! It's going to be fine. I'm here to help you, OK?

SHE SCREAMS

Sir!

Sir.

COUGHING

Sir.

Sir!

I wanted to help her.

She seemed so alone.

Lost.

A few weeks after her mother died...

..I found her in the classroom.

It was late.

Everyone else had gone.

She was crying.

I offered her a lift home. She wasn't fit to drive.

We got to her house.

It was raining.

She didn't say a word.

Just sat there in the car with me...

..as if she didn't want to leave.

When she got out of the car...

I-I could still smell her.

And Ben Willis?

He gave his life to that estate.

It meant everything to him.

Being Ben...

..I could be anyone.

Go anywhere.

But then, Greta just cut me off. I couldn't let that happen.

And Gareth Rhys-Jones?

You set him up.

And then you destroyed him.

He was getting too close to her.

You didn't want her to have any friends?

She didn't need any friends.

All she needed was me.

Why kill Kasia?

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I... She turned up at Greta's house with flowers, found me,

started screaming...

And you strangled her.

I had no choice!!

What about your wife, Arwyn?

What about your baby?

I-I...love Rhian.

But...

I thought...

I thought I could have it all.

Are you OK, sir?

Yeah, I will be.

And you? Yes, sir.

Thank you, Lloyd.
