69.013 - 75.279 Ali Gouliad (Omar)

You can't be here. Definitely not on your bike. The streets are hot right now. Go home, bro.

75.859 - 76.36 Maeve Courtier-Lilley (Elli)

Hey, Mo.

77.041 - 91.876 Rick Yale (Martin)

How's your sister? I hope you got to her okay. So, I've made dinner. Well, I'm making dinner. I just think I made too much. Do you want to come around? We should talk.

92.877 - 106.571

And just like that, I'm back again.

106.611 - 123.875 Rick Yale (Martin)

This street, this house. I've delivered food to hundreds of addresses. No, has to be thousands by now. But this is the first one that is feeding me The curtain moves as someone disappears into the house. Mo.

127.081 - 135.017 Maeve Courtier-Lilley (Elli)

Hi. Hey, come in. Come in. Yeah. The police have been around.

Chapter 2: Why is the police reopening Rosa's case significant?

217.507 - 243.085 Rick Yale (Martin)

It's fine. It's nice. That's not why I invited you here. Don't think that I'm some sort of... No, no, no. I don't think you're anything. Okay. Good. Because I don't see you like that. I just wanted to be with... With a friend. I know I should run. Get as far away from this place as I can. It's only a matter of time before everyone knows it's me in that footage.

0

244.263 - 261.385 Rick Yale (Martin)

Then I realise, the last time I was here, it was wrong place, wrong time. If I'm going to find the killer before they pin this on me, maybe this time I'm in the right place. You can come through. Come on.

0

261.405 - 261.665 Marin Alsop

Shall I?

0

262.226 - 278.847 Rick Yale (Martin)

No, no, no, it's fine. Keep them on. I don't tell her I would rather stay in a room where I did not discover her stepmother's body. Alexa, set a timer for five minutes. Your order has arrived. Your courier, Mohammed Osman, is waiting.

0

281.911 - 288.878

Can you hear me?

290.039 - 292.882 Rick Yale (Martin)

Miss? Hello, do you need police, fire or ambulance?

292.902 - 293.303

No. I can't be here.

293.323 - 330.215 Rick Yale (Martin)

I can't. Where is it? Stop the music! Let me get the food going. Starving. Well, you can sit down. Thanks. You OK with corn mints, yeah? Corn? Corn. Corn. It's like a fake meat. OK. What makes it fake? The fact it's not meat. Do you want a drink? We've got cider, beer, wine. No, no, thank you. Just water is fine. Oh, sorry. Because of your religion. No.

330.235 - 330.295

No.

Chapter 3: What evidence is being re-examined in Rosa's case?

348.103 - 378.141 Rick Yale (Martin)

So... Your father, is he at work? He's taking some time off. Yeah, I don't know where he is, to be honest. He's probably out looking for Crumble. He's become kind of weirdly obsessed with finding her since, you know, he went to Tesco after midnight the other day to get some more printer ink for the missing posters. Really? Yeah. He must really miss her. Yeah, we both do.

0

380.064 - 416.02 Rick Yale (Martin)

My therapist says it's displaced grief. He blames himself because he wasn't here. When it happened. Crumble escaping? No. Rosa. Was he supposed to be? I cannot imagine him walking in on something like that. Finding her up there. It's so high. How can anyone even... I don't really want to talk about that, Mo. And I told you, he didn't find her. I did. He was at a conference, arrived after me.

0

417.67 - 445.601 Rick Yale (Martin)

I'm sorry. I should not have said that. Hey, check this in the bin, would you? It opens itself. Yeah. That sound. That was the sound when I found her. Can you hear me? Miss?

0
0

448.028 - 481.824 Rick Yale (Martin)

I was never over here. I was with her on the floor, all the way over there. I never... You alright over there? Yes. There's a bin, Mo. Not abstract art. Sorry, yeah, yeah. She was lifeless when I arrived, laying on the floor. But the bin is next to the back door. Someone else must have set it off as they were leaving. Or escaping. Hey, can I ask you something?

483.146 - 487.712 Maeve Courtier-Lilley (Elli)

Yeah, of course. What was she like?

490.555 - 524.859 Rick Yale (Martin)

As... as a tutor? Rosa? Yeah, she was... I mean, she obviously meant something special to you, otherwise, you know, you wouldn't be here. Yeah, yeah, 100%. She was the best. Better than the best. You know, she didn't treat us like students or something like that. She treated us like her own children. She cared about what happened outside of college. Not like the other tutors, you know.

525.72 - 532.848 Rick Yale (Martin)

Ellie is nodding, trying to understand. She obviously didn't know this Rosa. I didn't know any Rosa.

Chapter 4: How does Mo react to the CCTV footage revelation?

533.749 - 571.788 Rick Yale (Martin)

I just knew her eyes. That must get annoying. Ding whenever someone wants feeding. Like you're a slave or something. Just means me and my family get a chance to eat. How big is your family? That's the point, I don't even know your full name. Just Mo. Just Mo is fine. Seriously though, what's your surname? Alexa, stop! Alexa, stop. Stupid thing. Your courier, Mohammed Osman, is waiting. What?

0

572.95 - 590.093 Rick Yale (Martin)

What? What's wrong? Nothing. Sorry. I'm just not feeling very well. Oh, do you need anything? Paracetamol? May I use your toilet, please? Yeah, yeah, down the hall. Second on the left. What is the point of this thing? I can't understand.

0

590.114 - 594.926

Mohammed Osman has arrived. Mohammed Osman is in your house.

0

595.447 - 613.567 Rick Yale (Martin)

Mohammed Osman killed Rosa Brennan. I know, I know, I know. Listen, I'm at Ellie's house.

0

613.967 - 618.934 Shannon Maldonado

Of course you are. You can't be hitting her every day, you know. You've got to spread it out. Otherwise she'll get bored of you, man.

619.094 - 620.055 Rick Yale (Martin)

Listen, it's not like that.

620.856 - 625.282 Shannon Maldonado

What are you saying anyway? And why did I hear you was moving mad at the half-field estate?

625.302 - 626.143 Rick Yale (Martin)

How did you hear about that?

626.524 - 627.405 Shannon Maldonado

I got eyes everywhere.

Chapter 5: What does Mo believe about Rosa's death?

673.868 - 683.088 Rick Yale (Martin)

Mo. I have to go. Mo. I have to go. I have to go. black eye and expect me not to ask questions. Who did this to you?

0

683.228 - 686.434 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

Calm down, love. Have you taken your meds today?

0

686.674 - 694.509 Rick Yale (Martin)

Have you had a drink today? Ellie! Dad, I just want to know who punched you. It was just some guy, I don't know.

0

694.529 - 703.324 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

Who? Some idiot. He didn't like me outside his house putting up posters for Crumble and I told him where to go and... You know, we didn't like that.

0

703.585 - 721.355 Rick Yale (Martin)

Well, did you call the police? Oh, as if we haven't dealt with them enough recently. It was one of them, wasn't it? It was the Parnells. Ellie, they had nothing to do with this. OK? Or what happened to your mum? Her dad. We've been through this. She wasn't... Well, that doesn't mean she wasn't murdered. Did you not listen to a word the police said?

721.555 - 725.823 Rick Yale (Martin)

They sat right in there and they told us they suspect murder. Murder, Dad! Enough!

726.444 - 735.299 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

OK? I don't have time for conspiracies. I can't take it, Al. I just want all of this to be over. So stop keeping it alive.

735.359 - 750.096 Rick Yale (Martin)

But they said... Enough. Oh, Jesus. Oh, close. Muhammad. What? Sorry. Bad joke. Who the hell are you? What are you doing in our house? It's okay. It's okay. He's my friend. Mo. Muhammad. Friend?

751.638 - 752.699 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

Why have I never seen him before?

Chapter 6: How does the dinner scene between Mo and Elli unfold?

774.56 - 774.78 Rick Yale (Martin)

Right.

0

776.902 - 781.428 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

Well, sorry Moe, as you can probably imagine, we've got a lot on our minds right now.

0

781.848 - 819.04 Rick Yale (Martin)

Yeah, yeah, of course. I know. No, you don't know, but you can probably imagine. I can. Imagine. Mo never believed it was suicide either. Oh. Yeah, I remember you now. You're starting to make a bit of a habit of popping up in our lives. Dad! So, Mo, how can you be so sure? So sure? You know, about what did or didn't happen to my wife. Sometimes you just... No, you know.

0

819.06 - 850.859 Rick Yale (Martin)

But you didn't know her, Noah. You were a student, like one of thousands she taught. I guess. And you weren't there when it happened. Were you? No. Of course not. He's looking at me. Not even blinking now. He doesn't need to say it. His eyes are saying everything. He thinks I did it. That I killed his wife. He murders the victim and walks at their funeral.

0

851.82 - 853.202 Maeve Courtier-Lilley (Elli)

Dad, enough.

853.222 - 887.405 Rick Yale (Martin)

Yeah, I should probably get going. I haven't done a delivery all day. No, come on, stay. Oh, that's your bike blocking my driveway. Yeah, sorry. Dad, we were about to have dinner, actually. Another time. Goodbye, Moe. Thank you. Almost. For the food. I'm sorry. He's like this with everyone at the moment. Yeah, I know. I mean, I can imagine. I'll, uh... I'll see you soon. I guess.

887.465 - 890.309 Rick Yale (Martin)

Wait, you're not coming? Coming?

890.529 - 892.712 Maeve Courtier-Lilley (Elli)

To the memorial. At the college. Starts at seven.

893.193 - 913.275 Rick Yale (Martin)

Well, I was supposed to be meeting... No, of course. I'm coming. Cool. I'll check this food dummy and meet you there.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Mo's past with Rosa?

917.321 - 944.463 Shannon Maldonado

Pa-ra, pa-ra. Hei, mä lähden nyt oikeesti. Mä oon lomalla. Kappas, täällähän onkin vanhoja jätskituttuja. Ei olla vanhoja tuttuja. Me ollaan uutuusjätskejä. No siinä tapauksessa, hauska tuuttistua. Mistä ste tuutte? No tötteröö, tietysti S-Marketista.

Elämä on ruokaa.

955.865 - 976.913 Rick Yale (Martin)

Two pizzas. One for Rosa and one for... Who? Martin was away. Ellie was at work. Two pizzas. For... Herself. No one can eat that much. Not even Omar for a bit. She was expecting company. Someone she knew.

980.618 - 1014.964

Hello? Mohammed, this is your mama speaking on voicemail. I don't know what is so important that you forget to pick up your sister and you do not answer the phone to me. Anyway, you must come home. Baba has been in contact because his internet is back. We have arranged to speak with him tonight, okay? Call me back. Just make sure you are home. Nine o'clock UK time and don't be late.

1018.707 - 1035.604 Rick Yale (Martin)

Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you, man? Hey! You're right, don't worry. Look, look where you're going next time. You nearly took me off my bike. I should have. You were driving like a nutter. I was?

1038.527 - 1039.228 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

I... I was? Was I?

1039.248 - 1053.221 Rick Yale (Martin)

...regarding the death of Cardiff woman Rosa Brennan and the emergence of video evidence released to the public only moments ago. Hey, can you turn that up? You what? Your radio. Please, up, up, up. Oh, yeah, yeah, funny, idiot.

1063.894 - 1083.231 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

This image taken from the doorbell footage reveals a partial side profile of an unidentified black male, likely between the ages of 16 and 25 with an afro-styled haircut. We're told the suspect became visible after bending down to retrieve a white cat that belonged to Mrs. Brennan and her surviving family.

Chapter 8: What shocking event occurs at the memorial for Rosa?

1159.441 - 1194.97 Rick Yale (Martin)

It's an accident, I think. Thank you. At this time, we welcome anyone who would like to share a personal memory that they have of Mrs Brennan. Are you going to speak? No, this isn't for me. It would be very fitting, and I'm sure cathartic, to hear someone, anyone, speak on their relationship with her.

0

1197.033 - 1199.337 Mohamed Elsandel (Mo)

Yeah, go on, Mr Willis. What about your relationship?

0

1201.159 - 1201.72 Ali Gouliad (Omar)

Who said that?

0

1204.484 - 1230.12 Rick Yale (Martin)

No one speaks, but it's obvious who Mr Willis is. He's the tutor stood at the side, turning bright red. Ellie's holding my hand now, squeezing it, hard, shaking her head, full of emotion. I can't tell which one. And then... I want to say a few words, if that's what I... I don't recognise this man, but the way Ellie's hand just slipped out of mine, I think I can guess.

0

1230.64 - 1249.064 Rick Yale (Martin)

Um... Um... Well, Ryan, I'm not sure if... Just a few words? Yeah, just a few. Well, I suppose... Okay.

1249.084 - 1250.606

Yeah. Okay.

1250.626 - 1279.277 Rick Yale (Martin)

You can't be serious. You can't be serious! You'll let him speak about my mum? Everyone turns and looks at us. The tutors, the students, Mr Willis. And the face on the front row, I do recognise. Ryan's brother, Henry. Now standing. Shit. Him! What the hell is going on? You all know what he is, what he did, and you're going to let him speak? Why is everyone staring at me?

1282.514 - 1292.925 Rick Yale (Martin)

Ali, I'm sorry for your loss. Shut up. Shut up. You can't fool me with your I found God crap. I know it was you. You or one of your little rats. I know. Quiet. Come on.

1292.945 - 1293.385 Marin Alsop

I'm sorry.
