00:00:38That's what it is.

00:01:57All right, all right.
00:02:27All right.
00:02:57All right.
00:03:27This is Lee.
00:03:44Leave a message.
00:03:47Lee, where are you?
00:03:49We were going to talk about this eating plan tonight, remember?
00:03:52And if you're not here, I might end up putting you next to my mum on top table.
00:03:55All right.
00:03:56All right.
00:03:56All right.
00:04:01I can't wait.
00:04:02I can't wait.
00:04:04I'm sorry.
00:04:06I'm sorry.
00:04:22I'm sorry.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:34No, I haven't planned anything yet for Dad's anniversary.
00:04:52Well, you'll need to get a move on.
00:04:54Well, I'll have to come up with something, won't I, Mum?
00:04:56A bit quick.
00:04:57Yeah, listen, Mum, I can't really talk about you now. I won't work, OK?
00:05:00I'll call you later. See ya.
00:05:04Now, the missing persons report has come in this morning.
00:05:09Laura Kirkham, 16 years of age, last seen at home lunchtime yesterday.
00:05:14Her parents, Dominic and Charlotte Kirkham, are the new owners of the Windlow estate,
00:05:18which means there's over 500 acres to be searched, including dense woodland.
00:05:24Boss, since when are we in the search and rescue business?
00:05:27Since I agreed we'd help out.
00:05:29Dominic and Charlotte were at lunch yesterday.
00:05:34They got back to the house at about 4pm. There was no sign of Laura.
00:05:37They searched the house and phoned emergency when it started to get dark.
00:05:42Uniform attended and conducted a thorough search of the property and the nearby buildings,
00:05:47which means she's been missing for over 20 hours.
00:05:50I take it she's not been answering her phone.
00:05:53Dominic found her phone in her bedroom when he got up.
00:05:57Teenagers don't leave their phones behind, sir.
00:05:59Well, it's with digital forensics now.
00:06:02Erland, you have this slot to interview.
00:06:04It's a list of the people who work in the house and on the estate.
00:06:07Ben, Diane, I want you to interview the Kirkhams.
00:06:11Try and get more of a sense of who Laura is.
00:06:13And stay open-minded because they're both alibied each other.
00:06:16Will do, sir.
00:06:29So this is the Windlow estate.
00:06:32It's a bit run down.
00:06:33It's in the Woburn family for generations.
00:06:41When George Woburn died last year, he didn't have an heir, so it came up for sale.
00:06:46Now it's Kirkhams' passion project and he wants to restore it.
00:06:49The Kirkhams only have one daughter.
00:06:51Yeah, why?
00:06:52It just seems a bit much for three people.
00:06:55Yeah.
00:07:01You all right?
00:07:03Yeah, it's nothing.
00:07:06Looks like bad news to me.
00:07:10It's fine.
00:07:20Happy-looking family.
00:07:22You're not going to put a bad picture of her, are you?
00:07:24No.
00:07:28Rest assured, Mrs Kirkham, we are doing everything we can to find Laura.
00:07:32I mean, this is ridiculous.
00:07:33I can't go and look for my own daughter.
00:07:35We've got drones and search parties working their way across the estate.
00:07:38We've got uniformed officers up in town asking people if they've seen Laura.
00:07:42We've put the train and bus station on high alert in case she tries to leave Edendale.
00:07:47You could help us by telling us a little bit more about her.
00:07:50She's a good girl.
00:07:53Very bright.
00:07:54When she's not got her head in a book, she'll be out at the stables with the horses.
00:07:59Yeah.
00:08:01Does she have a boyfriend?
00:08:04No.
00:08:05Laura doesn't have time to socialise outside her school.
00:08:08She's too busy concentrating on her studies.
00:08:10She's going to be a lawyer.
00:08:12Was she stressed about her exams?
00:08:14Could that have been a reason she ran away?
00:08:16We had a parent's evening recently.
00:08:18The teacher said she was doing okay.
00:08:20Any significant life changes?
00:08:22Anything at all?
00:08:23Oh, yeah.
00:08:25She met Lee Bateman.
00:08:27Who's that?
00:08:28Dominic.
00:08:30He was.
00:08:31The gardener.
00:08:32About a month ago, I caught him with his shirt off, flirting with our Laura when he was supposed to be working.
00:08:37So I sent my work away from the house and last week I caught a pair of them smoking weed together.
00:08:41So what do you do?
00:08:43I fired him on the spot.
00:08:45Do you think Laura ran away with Lee Bateman?
00:08:47No, I don't think she ran away with Lee Bateman, Detective.
00:08:49I think.
00:08:52He's abducted her.
00:08:59Dominic Kirkham recognised we should be speaking to this guy.
00:09:02Lee Bateman, he's pretty insistent that Lee's taken Laura off somewhere.
00:09:06As you can see, he's known to us.
00:09:07Got a previous for theft, intent to supply GBH.
00:09:11And if you look a bit early down in his career.
00:09:12Persuaded young girls to go and steal alcohol from the supermarket.
00:09:17So he gets young girls to do his bidding.
00:09:19Apparently he got nasty with him if they didn't bring back what he wanted.
00:09:21And it doesn't take a huge leap of the imagination to guess what he wanted with a 16-year-old Laura.
00:09:26Right.
00:09:27I'll go and track down this Lee Bateman, see if he's involved.
00:09:30Meanwhile, Diane, can you go and join the searchers?
00:09:33Ben, we've had a call through the nines.
00:09:35Can you go and check it out?
00:09:36Yes, sir.
00:09:37Yes, sir.
00:09:37Helen?
00:09:42Oh, my God.
00:10:00Ben Cooper?
00:10:01Well, I didn't expect you to turn up.
00:10:04Please, come in.
00:10:36We had a call from Harry Dickinson saying he'd found something on the estate.
00:10:48I take it you know Harry?
00:10:50Yeah, Harry's my uncle.
00:10:51I look after him from time to time.
00:10:53He's the groundskeeper at Wimlow.
00:10:55Uncle Harry!
00:10:56To the police!
00:10:57Wow, Ben.
00:11:01Haven't seen you since we left school.
00:11:03Sounds about right.
00:11:05You look good.
00:11:07So do you.
00:11:10Last I heard you were getting married to a farmer just outside Edendale.
00:11:13No, I did, but it didn't work out.
00:11:15Ah, sorry to hear that.
00:11:16No, don't be.
00:11:17It's for the best.
00:11:18Right.
00:11:19Get to spend all my time with my horses.
00:11:20I run the stables up at Privy Point.
00:11:23Ah.
00:11:24How about you?
00:11:25Ah, married to the job, I guess.
00:11:29Yeah.
00:11:32It's all over the village.
00:11:34You're out looking for Laura Kirkham.
00:11:35Is this hers?
00:11:46Where did you find this?
00:11:48Jess picked it up.
00:11:49Art-out Ravenside.
00:11:51Laura wouldn't have gotten far without it.
00:11:56Size five and a half, and you look exactly like the one on Laura's photo as well.
00:12:01Who found it?
00:12:02Uh, Harry Dickinson, he's the groundskeeper up at the Kirkham's estate.
00:12:06Found him this morning when he was walking in the woods near Ravenside.
00:12:09Well, his dog did.
00:12:10Right.
00:12:11And I think we have a bit of blood here as well.
00:12:14Cape Harry in the house, you know I get to do it.
00:12:16Will do.
00:12:17Woo!
00:12:20I don't need you to stay put, Mr. Dickinson.
00:12:22Do you want me to show you where I found this shoe or not?
00:12:25Ah, do we have to wait for the search teams first?
00:12:27What if Laura Kirkham's lying in a ditch right now?
00:12:30Well, with a broken ankle or worse.
00:12:33She won't thank you for waiting.
00:12:34Come on.
00:12:36Off we go then.
00:12:47Do you ever see anyone, have you?
00:12:50Only living things in these woods are the badgers.
00:12:53And the fallow deer, and we've got too many of them bloody things.
00:12:57Dominic Kirkham wants me to leave the deer alone.
00:12:59Thinks they're pretty.
00:13:01He'll change his tune once he hits one in a shiny new four-by-four.
00:13:05They're eating the woods from the ground up.
00:13:08What we could really do with is some help from the black dog.
00:13:11Ah, the black dog.
00:13:13I remember hearing about it when I was a kid.
00:13:15It was a good story, though.
00:13:16It kept us from trespassing on the estate.
00:13:19Come on.
00:13:20More than a story.
00:13:21A few hundred years ago,
00:13:23the black dog used to come out of the woods at night,
00:13:25hunting cattle and sheep.
00:13:26Then it moved into the village,
00:13:28started taking babies from houses.
00:13:30In the end they caught it.
00:13:32Buried it under a plague stone.
00:13:34Right.
00:13:35This is where Jess dropped the shoe.
00:13:37She must have found it.
00:13:39Down there.
00:13:40Along the stream.
00:13:42Off you go then.
00:13:43Careful, lad.
00:13:47If you hurt yourself,
00:13:48I shan't be carrying you back.
00:13:51Yes, noted, Harry.
00:13:54Good luck.
00:13:58Come on.
00:13:59Come on.
00:13:59Come on.
00:14:41I told you to keep Harry Dickinson back at the cottage and wait for the search teams.
00:14:49Five.
00:14:50Laura was injured, you know.
00:14:52We've protocoled for a reason, Ben.
00:14:54Understood.
00:14:56Dr. Taylor, what can you tell us?
00:14:59Well, off the record, it's almost certainly the girl you've been looking for.
00:15:03First impressions are she's got a significant injury to the back of her head.
00:15:06Most likely a blunt object.
00:15:10Is that what killed her?
00:15:11In the end, probably yes, but I think after Laura was struck, she ran through the forest to escape.
00:15:17Socos are picking up a trail of hair and blood spots through the trees that start way down there and end up near the stream where she was found.
00:15:24My guess is that she ran and kept running until she fainted.
00:15:28Lost consciousness, then bled out through the head wound.
00:15:30So the initial attack could have happened before Laura entered the woods?
00:15:34Correct.
00:15:36Any sign of sexual assault?
00:15:38No, she's fully clothed, so you'll have to wait till I get her back to the mortuary for a definite answer.
00:15:42I did find a single bite mark on her right arm.
00:15:45Difficult to say what made it at this stage.
00:15:47An animal got to her?
00:15:49Yeah, more than likely.
00:15:50Harry Dickinson said badgers were up here.
00:15:52Yeah, mate, I'll compare the bite marks to be sure.
00:15:55Thank you, Dr Taylor.
00:15:57Right.
00:15:57Once we get Laura back to the mortuary, I'll go and collect Charlotte and Dominic Kirkham to confirm the ID.
00:16:05Do you want me to come with?
00:16:06No.
00:16:07I want you back at CID.
00:16:09Liaise with Sokka.
00:16:11What about me, sir?
00:16:12You go get Ellen and pick up Lee Bateman immediately.
00:16:20Have you come across Lee Bateman before?
00:16:22He's been off our radar for a while, but I doubt he's changed much.
00:16:25Right, here we are.
00:16:33Lee!
00:16:34I just want to talk to you, mate.
00:16:38About what, man?
00:16:40Laura Kirkham.
00:16:43Right, give me five minutes.
00:16:46Hey!
00:16:47You'll get down quicker than that, else I'm coming through that front door.
00:16:55So has Ben invited you along on Saturday?
00:17:00To what?
00:17:02Joe Cooper's anniversary.
00:17:05No.
00:17:05No, he hasn't.
00:17:07All right.
00:17:08Right.
00:17:09It's probably for the best, anyway.
00:17:11It's always a grim affair.
00:17:12He's running!
00:17:26He's running!
00:17:26Only the guilt you're on.
00:17:47Am I right?
00:17:47Okay.
00:18:17I heard Lee Bainman gave me the slip.
00:18:26Sarge is waiting for Lee's fiance, Gemma, to return from work.
00:18:30Right.
00:18:31So, digital forensics have done a preliminary report on Laura's phone.
00:18:34Is that everything?
00:18:35Yeah.
00:18:36It's weird, right?
00:18:37So usually you expect to find thousands of messages, social media posts, like triple that
00:18:41for a teenager's phone, but there's hardly anything on that.
00:18:43Do you know what still bothers me?
00:18:45Laura left her phone behind on Sunday afternoon.
00:18:47What teenager does that?
00:18:48I'll get forensics to dig a little deeper.
00:18:55You made me run, Gemma.
00:18:57I don't like running.
00:18:58I'm not a fan.
00:18:59It was self-preservation.
00:19:04Where's he off to?
00:19:07Not a clue.
00:19:08Just back from work, aren't I?
00:19:10So you were here all day yesterday?
00:19:12Yeah, yeah.
00:19:14Just making plans for the wedding.
00:19:16Aww.
00:19:17How sweet.
00:19:20Yeah, because it is only a week away, right?
00:19:24Okay, well, if we don't find Lee before then, then we'll just wait outside Edendale registry office.
00:19:30What is it?
00:19:313.30.
00:19:32It's my casual, yeah?
00:19:33It's not fair.
00:19:34You lot chasing him down.
00:19:35He's done nothing wrong.
00:19:37I just want to ask him what's been going on at the Kirkham house.
00:19:40Oh, I can tell you that for free.
00:19:42Lee went to work, then came home.
00:19:44End of.
00:19:46So you don't think he showed any interest in Laura?
00:19:49Of course not.
00:19:50She's a kid.
00:19:51Actually, no.
00:19:52She is 16.
00:19:56No, no, it is not like that anymore.
00:19:58Hmm.
00:19:59Oh, and one final thing.
00:20:04Does Lee still have those tattoos of his exes?
00:20:09What was it?
00:20:10Frankie and Randy.
00:20:12Only I am going to have to update the PNC file.
00:20:16Get out.
00:20:35Are you coming to the round for a bit?
00:20:36Well, I'd love to, but I spent the day hacking underground and running down back alleys.
00:20:41I deserve a long bath.
00:20:43Fair enough.
00:20:46If you're LAUGHTER
00:20:49Ah!
00:20:50Again, buddy, I'm gettingaire to speak.
00:20:53One of my degrees!
00:20:54I'm getting up!
00:20:56I桜hing!
00:20:58Two big things!
00:21:03MUSIC
00:21:07Huh!
00:21:09Now I'm in agreement,
00:21:10tell me everything!
00:21:11I'm not waiting.
00:21:12As long as you've chosen,
00:21:13turn him up.
00:21:14It's time no move.
00:21:15It's time no move!
00:21:16Did I catch you napping?
00:21:34Hardly. I've got a bladder full of double espresso.
00:21:37Did you notice the whole street's got Reese up?
00:21:39Yeah, what's the occasion?
00:21:41Not occasion. It's for protection against the black dog.
00:21:45The locals are saying it's on the loose and Laura Kirkham's the first victim.
00:21:49I don't think she was killed by a myth.
00:21:52Forensics have proven she died from a blow to the back of the head.
00:21:55Yeah, we know that, but it doesn't stop people believing, does it?
00:22:03What's up?
00:22:04It's Ellen, Harry Dickinson's niece.
00:22:08Randomly we went to school together.
00:22:10Was it about the kiss?
00:22:11No, she's seen him a lot of me up for a drink.
00:22:14I take it she's single?
00:22:18Recently divorced.
00:22:19So what are you waiting for?
00:22:20Don't know if I could be bothered with, you know what I mean, starting some hope.
00:22:24Ben, it's a drink, not a marriage proposal.
00:22:27Just go and have a laugh.
00:22:30Alright.
00:22:32I will take your advice.
00:22:35There we go. Sent.
00:22:37Good. I'm happy for you.
00:22:38If you get lucky, I don't want to hear about it.
00:22:42That gentleman never tells.
00:22:44You certainly don't.
00:22:46That's because there's nothing to tell.
00:22:48Just let you freak out any time you get a text, that's all.
00:22:50Obviously, somebody's trying to get hold of you.
00:22:53All you need to know is I was seeing a guy in Leeds, it got messy, and moved here.
00:22:58The end.
00:22:59I'm here if you ever want to talk.
00:23:01Oh, look, Lee ain't going to come back here, so who else would take him in?
00:23:07No, he's not going to go to his mum's either.
00:23:09She booted him out when he was 15.
00:23:10She's sick of the police knocking on all the time.
00:23:13What about his dad?
00:23:14Hmm.
00:23:15Connor Bateman is currently serving time at HMP Full Sutton.
00:23:19For GBH and common assault.
00:23:22Nice guy.
00:23:22Like, father-like son.
00:23:24Hmm.
00:23:24Lee's apprenticeship started young.
00:23:27He was five years old when Connor used to take him poaching on the estate.
00:23:31They would hide out in the forest.
00:23:36Oh, are you thinking Lee's gone to visit his dad in prison?
00:23:39No, but I'm thinking he might have gone back to his roots.
00:23:41There's a hut in these woods where Connor and Lee used to hide out until it got dark.
00:23:57OK, so we wait here for backup?
00:24:00It's literally 100 metres down that track.
00:24:03Remember what Hitchin said?
00:24:05There's no point calling the cavalry if Lee's not there, is there?
00:24:08Cooper!
00:24:08Cooper!
00:24:09Cooper!
00:24:33Prince!
00:24:34Prince!
00:24:39I don't know.
00:25:09Let's go.
00:25:39ТРЕВОЖНАЯ МУЗЫКА
00:26:09God!
00:26:23God!
00:26:24God!
00:26:25I said gun, you idiot.
00:26:45God, Foiged was just a bird suckerer.
00:26:46I'm arresting you for attempted murder of police officers.
00:26:48I didn't know he was police. I was just warning him off.
00:26:51Rupert, are you OK?
00:26:54Rupert, are you OK?
00:26:55Yeah, yeah, I think so.
00:26:57Hey, then you can walk yourself back to the car.
00:27:06So, at no point, did you think to call for backup?
00:27:08We did, sir, but we couldn't get a signal.
00:27:10And there was no intel to suggest that he was armed, sir.
00:27:13And what was with the heroics, Ben?
00:27:15You're both lucky to be alive.
00:27:16I'll let you down, sir.
00:27:21Diane, go with Todd and interview me.
00:27:24Sir.
00:27:31It was hard enough losing your dad.
00:27:34We don't want to lose you as well.
00:27:39Go home, Ben. Get some rest.
00:27:43I hope you give these things a proper boy wash.
00:27:45I don't want to be wearing something a rapist has been sweating in.
00:27:50Disgusting.
00:27:52Don't worry, Lee.
00:27:53They're brand new out of the packet.
00:27:56Yeah, right.
00:27:59OK.
00:28:01Let's talk about Nora Kirkham, yeah?
00:28:03Now, you were caught smoking weed.
00:28:05Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:28:06Let me stop you there before you get too excited, yeah?
00:28:09The only question I'm going to answer is, how do you like your tea, Mr. Bateman?
00:28:16Build a shrink for a splash of milk and four sugars.
00:28:20Now, if you don't mind, I've got some sleep to catch up on.
00:28:25Couldn't get a wink last night.
00:28:26Yes, sir.
00:28:42Don't repeat.
00:28:43Godid, let's go.
00:28:45I lived.
00:28:46I lived.
00:28:48Here we are.
00:29:09Bar snacks included in the apology.
00:29:11Help yourself.
00:29:15Are you OK?
00:29:18It's just been five years, so five years, and it's still no closer to solving it.
00:29:28Still not knowing.
00:29:30Leaks away at you.
00:29:33One thing I know is I can't do this for another five years.
00:29:38Can I ask what happened?
00:29:42Everyone has a different theory.
00:29:44Hitchens thought he'd driven past and interrupted a burglary.
00:29:48Ellen thought he was some out-of-town drugs thing.
00:29:50But I know.
00:29:52I know somebody in Eden, they know something.
00:29:56Nobody's talking.
00:29:57What about forensics?
00:29:58Nothing.
00:29:59No fibres, no DNA.
00:30:01And I'm conscious the longer this goes on, the less likely we are to solve the case.
00:30:06And I feel like I'm letting him down.
00:30:11I need to get justice for him.
00:30:14Why don't you step away?
00:30:15I mean, just for a little while.
00:30:17Give up, no way.
00:30:18Ben, you nearly got yourself killed today.
00:30:21Carry on like that and you won't even be around to get justice for your dad.
00:30:25It is what it is.
00:30:26Can I come on Saturday?
00:30:33Pay my respects.
00:30:35I'd like that very much.
00:30:39Cheers.
00:30:41Cheers.
00:30:41Cheers.
00:30:42Hello, Mr Kirkham.
00:30:56Thanks for seeing us.
00:30:58We just wanted to ask you a few questions about Lee Bateman.
00:31:02Has he been charged with murder yet?
00:31:03Uh, no.
00:31:04We don't have enough to charge in with yet.
00:31:06That's why we're here.
00:31:08Mr Kirkham, why did you decide to hire Lee in the first place?
00:31:13I didn't.
00:31:15Well, Charlotte did.
00:31:17She put an advert in the local paper for a gardener when I was wearing business when I come back.
00:31:22There he was.
00:31:23And when you caught Lee talking with Laura, you sent him to work away from the house, is that right?
00:31:28I told him that I wanted the plague storm from Ravenside digging up and bringing back here.
00:31:31Look, I thought he'd look particularly nice in the back of my garden.
00:31:35I know, Charlotte's gone way half a ton.
00:31:37Seriously believe Lee was going to roll it down here on his own?
00:31:40I knew it was an impossible task.
00:31:43Then why ask him to do it?
00:31:45To remind him he was in charge.
00:31:48Anyway, I fired him a week later.
00:31:53Has Lee been back to the estate since?
00:31:55And his staff here has seen him come back onto the property?
00:31:57No.
00:31:58I think he took my final warning very seriously.
00:32:01What did you say to him?
00:32:06Trespassers will be shot.
00:32:12Not exactly the grieving father, is it?
00:32:14No.
00:32:15And he's hell-bent on putting the blame on Lee Bateman.
00:32:18There is more going on between those two than Dominic's letting on.
00:32:20I know him.
00:32:21All right, I'll tell the boss that we need to find that plague stone.
00:32:24He's in the woods, so we need to get the area searched.
00:32:26In the meantime, we'll go and ask Gary Dickinson if he saw Lee creeping back onto the estate to meet up with Laura.
00:32:32Yeah?
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:33Cool.
00:32:34Hi, Helen.
00:32:49Hello.
00:32:49Wasn't expecting to see you till tomorrow.
00:32:51I just had a few questions for Harry.
00:32:53This is DC down frame.
00:32:56He's over at Sam Beely's place.
00:32:58The two of them spent a lot of time together since his wife died.
00:33:01That's nice.
00:33:03Now, we're never good at making stuff like that.
00:33:05It's not for decoration.
00:33:07I know.
00:33:08Protection from the black dog, right?
00:33:11Ben told me the story.
00:33:12It sounds to me like the medieval folk had a serious fox problem.
00:33:16Really?
00:33:17What about all the babies being taken from their beds?
00:33:19I'm guessing the black dog was a good cover-up story for infanticide.
00:33:23Right, well, thank you, Helen.
00:33:24DC Fry, you're new to Edendale, aren't you?
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:28And it's very different to what I'm used to.
00:33:31I think you should spend a night alone in the woods at Ravenside.
00:33:34And what would be the point in that?
00:33:35Because when you start to hear the trees whispering your name
00:33:38and the shadows start to change shape,
00:33:40you'll realise just how different things really are here.
00:33:43Right, well, we won't keep you any longer.
00:33:48Bye, Ben.
00:33:49See you tomorrow.
00:33:53What is wrong with you?
00:33:55What?
00:33:56It was a healthy debate, science versus superstition.
00:33:59When are you going to realise that people don't have to justify their beliefs to you?
00:34:02Take people as they come, otherwise no-one is going to talk to you.
00:34:05Excuse me, Mr. Bealey?
00:34:24You are Sam Bealey, correct?
00:34:26I'm Detective Cooper, this is Detective Fry.
00:34:31Looking for Harry?
00:34:32Just getting washed up.
00:34:36Your hand's all right?
00:34:38Chicken's got diseased.
00:34:39We've just been hurrying things along a bit.
00:34:43What?
00:34:44By wringing their necks?
00:34:46You've got a better way to put them out of the misery.
00:34:48Harry, you're in trouble with the law.
00:34:51Mr. Dickinson just wanted to talk to you about Lee Bateman.
00:34:54Well, you've not seen him on the estate this week, have you?
00:34:56No.
00:34:58Oh.
00:34:59What about in the woods at Ravenside this Sunday evening?
00:35:03I've already told you.
00:35:05I've seen no-one in there.
00:35:06That's black dog territory now.
00:35:09If you're stupid, it'll be up there after dark.
00:35:14What about the Kirkham's house?
00:35:17I wouldn't know, because I'm never near it.
00:35:19If it's a problem with the estate, I'll leave Dominic a message on his phone.
00:35:23I'll leave Dominic a message on his phone.
00:35:25Okay.
00:35:30Look at these two.
00:35:32Bloody clueless.
00:35:33They can't have you coming all this way for nothing.
00:35:35Why don't you go up the barn?
00:35:36Help yourself to a couple of chickens.
00:35:38I thought you said they were diseased.
00:35:40You're not a fuss-putter, are you, detective?
00:35:46You live near Ravenside, don't you, Mr. Beely?
00:35:49Didn't see Lee or Laura there this Sunday evening?
00:35:52I was in bed by sunset, reading me Bible.
00:35:57This is a murder investigation, gentlemen.
00:35:59It's a serious business.
00:36:01Then why asking him stupid bloody questions?
00:36:03Did he see Lee and Ravenside?
00:36:05There's 15 acres of trees.
00:36:07Your dad would be disappointed to see you, lad, making ash of it.
00:36:12You knew him?
00:36:13Aye, I met Joe Cooper a couple of times.
00:36:16He knew how to talk to country folk.
00:36:18Had a way about him.
00:36:20He'd have sought this murder in no time.
00:36:22He'd have sought this murder in his family.
00:36:23So I was about to let them know.
00:36:24He had to try to sell this murder.
00:36:25He would have sought this murder.
00:36:26He's gotta take care of him.
00:36:28He's got his brother in the house.
00:36:29He's got one of the pictures, yes.
00:36:30He's got one of the pictures.
00:36:31He's got one of the pictures.
00:36:32He's got one of the pictures.
00:36:33He's got one of the pictures too.
00:36:38That's the one.
00:36:39I'm not sure at the moment.
00:36:40I found something.
00:37:10What's the story, Trace?
00:37:13Oh, hey.
00:37:14Okay.
00:37:15So, we have recovered cigarette butts here, but we found a used condom on the altar,
00:37:24so we've marked that urgent and sent it to the lab.
00:37:27Right?
00:37:28This is the stone Dominic has Lee to take down to the house.
00:37:31He didn't move it very far, did he?
00:37:34At least he didn't cause any damage.
00:37:36Oh, but he has.
00:37:37He's unleashed the black dog.
00:37:39Harry Dickinson told me that they placed the stone on top of the black dog to trap it
00:37:44under the earth and stop it coming into the village.
00:37:47Why does everything in Edendale have a story or a legend attached to it?
00:37:51Why can't a stone just be a stone?
00:37:58Let's get started, shall we?
00:38:00We visited the church ruins.
00:38:02It's a nice, so good spot.
00:38:04So no one can see what you're up to.
00:38:06You've been having a lot of fun up there, haven't you?
00:38:08But with a 16-year-old girl, shame on you.
00:38:13You don't know what you're talking about, mate.
00:38:15Okay.
00:38:16Now, we're thinking you targeted Laura, just like you've done before with other schoolgirls.
00:38:23Laura's father told us that he caught you and his daughter getting high on drugs you supplied.
00:38:29Laura's now dead.
00:38:33How do you think that's going to look to a jury?
00:38:35Look, she wouldn't leave me alone.
00:38:37Right? She always wanted to talk to me.
00:38:40Go on.
00:38:41She said she wanted to escape her house and needed my help to do it.
00:38:44She had some beef with her dad, I don't know.
00:38:45I don't know, because I wasn't interested.
00:38:47I'm a bit confused, Lee.
00:38:48On the one hand, you're saying you didn't want Laura anywhere near you.
00:38:52But you were all found smoking weed together.
00:38:57Look, I had no choice.
00:39:00Yeah?
00:39:01She told me if I didn't keep bringing it, she would tell her dad I was stealing stuff from the house and I'd lose my job.
00:39:07She is not as innocent as she looks, that one.
00:39:10She had the makings of a real hustler.
00:39:12Right, well, we've got a problem, Lee.
00:39:15Because we believe you and Laura met up at the church ruins.
00:39:20This is some evidence we found up there.
00:39:22You're a big boy, you know what that is.
00:39:24It's a condom.
00:39:26Which leads me to think getting high with Laura was not the only thing you were doing up there.
00:39:31Right, so all it takes is a DNA test.
00:39:34And we can find out who these belong to.
00:39:37No comment.
00:39:39No comment, okay.
00:39:41Well, maybe we should go see Gemma, see if she wants to make a comment.
00:39:44Well, Gemma doesn't need to know what's been going on, does she?
00:39:47Not unless you start talking, Lee.
00:39:51Right, yeah.
00:39:53Yeah, I did see someone at the church.
00:39:56We both knew it was stupid and dangerous, but...
00:39:59It was just a hook-up, no strings.
00:40:03Who was this someone, and what do you mean by it was dangerous?
00:40:07In case Lord of the Manor found out.
00:40:10She was worried what her husband might do.
00:40:13Hang on, are you saying you were seeing Charlotte Kirkham?
00:40:16For fun.
00:40:17Yeah.
00:40:19But I told her once I'm married, that's it, show's over.
00:40:23Yeah.
00:40:25Not as perfect as they look, that Kirkham family, right?
00:40:28And neither are you, Lee.
00:40:29Well, I know.
00:40:31But I'm trying to become better.
00:40:33And Gemma knows I've made mistakes, but she believes in me.
00:40:38But that woman is my future.
00:40:41And when I say my vows, I'm gonna mean every single word.
00:40:44I'm afraid Dominic's in his office on a call.
00:40:57It's okay, um, we actually needed to speak to you about a private matter.
00:41:14Oh?
00:41:16Lee Bateman has told us he was meeting up with you in secret at the church.
00:41:20He's lying.
00:41:23I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
00:41:26Well, we've found condoms in the church ruins.
00:41:30DNA tests will give us the answers we need.
00:41:33But you could help speed things up.
00:41:36Help us find Laura's killer.
00:41:38Charlotte, were you meeting up with Lee?
00:41:42We need to know the truth.
00:41:44Do you know the truth?
00:41:49Yes.
00:41:52It's just a distraction.
00:41:54A distraction from what?
00:41:56Being trapped in this house.
00:41:59It may look impressive from the driveway, but once you're inside, it's like a bloody mausoleum.
00:42:05Well, why come here then?
00:42:08Dominic wanted to buy somewhere he could renovate, show off to his wealthy clients.
00:42:14Oh, it's fine for him. He gets to leave.
00:42:16Travel the world on business, but me?
00:42:19I'm left floating from room to room.
00:42:22Did Dominic know about you two?
00:42:24I'm sure he would have said something if he found out.
00:42:28What about Laura? Does she know?
00:42:33God, I hope not.
00:42:34It was me that let Lee into the house.
00:42:44Is she dead because of me?
00:42:46I mean, did I do this?
00:42:48I'm wondering if Laura knew about Lee and her mum having the affair.
00:42:55And what if she did?
00:42:57Well, maybe getting the weed out of Lee wasn't enough.
00:43:00Maybe she wanted more, so she threatened to tell Dominic about the affair until she got it.
00:43:05And Lee pushed back.
00:43:07Hard.
00:43:08Yeah.
00:43:19Sarge, we need to speak to Lee again.
00:43:22Too late. He's walked.
00:43:24You what?
00:43:25He's out on bail.
00:43:27With strict instructions, checking rules three times a week, ordered not to leave Edendale.
00:43:30Yeah, apparently his solicitor made an emotional plea to the magistrate saying that, you know, Lee getting married this week was a sign he was turning his life around.
00:43:38Even though he tried to end mine.
00:43:40Who was Talit Kirkham's?
00:43:46Oh, you cowards.
00:43:48Dominic, I heard the phone. What's happened?
00:44:04They released Lee Bateman.
00:44:09How could that have happened?
00:44:18Dominic?
00:44:19Dominic?
00:44:21Dominic?
00:44:22Dominic.
00:44:48Look, babes, I just got out.
00:44:50I'm so sorry for all this.
00:44:52I'll explain it all when I get her.
00:45:22Crash investigators reckon the driver swerved across the road and hit Lee Bateman straight
00:45:45on. Could have been deliberate, could have been drunk.
00:45:48Any witnesses?
00:45:49None.
00:45:50We're going to have to wait for the reports and the tests to come back.
00:45:52When I told Dominic yesterday Lee was being released on bail, he was absolutely furious
00:45:56saying we weren't doing our job properly.
00:45:57Who can blame him?
00:45:58Any parent would be.
00:45:59The question is, would he take matters into his own hands?
00:46:02Hi Gemma, can you come in love?
00:46:13What's happened?
00:46:14Why are you being nice?
00:46:16I was just going to sit down first.
00:46:18No, hang on.
00:46:19You're not coming in here again.
00:46:21Just...
00:46:22Just tell me.
00:46:23Right.
00:46:24I'm afraid Lee has been in an accident and he has been killed.
00:46:31I'm sorry.
00:46:35I'm sorry.
00:46:36Dominic's car is not in.
00:46:43Dominic's car's not in?
00:47:07We need to find him.
00:47:13Yes, Tracey.
00:47:15Yeah, forensics have found secret tracking software embedded on Laura's phone connected to Dominic's.
00:47:21So he was tracking her all the time.
00:47:23Cheers, Trace.
00:47:24What?
00:47:25Turns out the phone Dominic got Laura had tracking software on it.
00:47:28It's normal for parents to want to know where their kids are.
00:47:31No, not like an app you download.
00:47:32This is secret software embedded into the phone.
00:47:35She didn't know about it.
00:47:37Maybe Lee were right about Laura having a dark side and well, Dominic knew that too.
00:47:40Laura left her phone behind Sunday afternoon, yeah?
00:47:43Which was strange.
00:47:44What if she knew Dominic was tracking her movements and that's why she left it in her room?
00:47:48She could have been anywhere.
00:47:49Yeah, doing what?
00:47:50Lee Bittman was killed in a hit-and-run incident yesterday afternoon.
00:48:08Do you know when Dominic's coming back?
00:48:11You think Dominic was involved?
00:48:13We just need to track his movements at this point.
00:48:15Christ, you left soon after you called yesterday.
00:48:24We also need to talk to you about Laura's phone.
00:48:27Apparently there's a secret tracking software that's been installed on it, directly linked
00:48:33to Dominic's phone.
00:48:36Why would you need to track Laura?
00:48:38To make sure that she was set home, studying?
00:48:40Did he have reason to believe that she wouldn't be?
00:48:46Charlotte, we're starting to think that there might have been a different side to Laura,
00:48:49a side that you and Dominic are keen to hide from us.
00:48:52Who was she?
00:48:54Really?
00:48:55I loved her with all my heart.
00:49:04But God, she didn't make it easy.
00:49:07There was a wild streak running through her.
00:49:11Dominic convinced me Laura would be best suited to a private school.
00:49:15Somewhere with strong discipline, strict rules.
00:49:18So I agreed to send her off.
00:49:23She seemed to be settling in quickly.
00:49:25We thought finally.
00:49:28We found a solution.
00:49:31But then two months ago we got a call from the school telling us to pick her up immediately.
00:49:35What happened?
00:49:37Laura broke a curfew.
00:49:39Turns out she'd been climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to meet a boy in town.
00:49:45Dominic was mortified.
00:49:47He sent her to a local school.
00:49:49Made sure she was picked up as soon as it was finished.
00:49:52And fought straight back here.
00:49:55So that's why she had no social life, no friends.
00:50:00Dominic wouldn't allow it.
00:50:03Look, this tracking app.
00:50:08Isolating her from other teenagers.
00:50:10It was...
00:50:11It was his way of saving Laura from herself.
00:50:16Do you really believe that?
00:50:18He's back.
00:50:22He's back.
00:50:22Mr Kirkham.
00:50:41What now?
00:50:43Mr Kirkham, you're under arrest for the murder of Lee Bateman.
00:50:45You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
00:50:49Are you serious?
00:50:50Pray tell.
00:50:51We can talk about it down at the station.
00:50:57Right.
00:50:57It may harm your defence if you do not mention one question.
00:51:01You drove to Birmingham yesterday evening, Mr Kirkham, correct?
00:51:13Yeah.
00:51:14What route did you take?
00:51:16All my satin, I've suggested.
00:51:18Didn't travel along the Bulma Road.
00:51:20Do you know a quick way?
00:51:23Lee Bateman was hit by a car along that road last night.
00:51:26He died of his injuries.
00:51:29That's unfortunate.
00:51:31It's coincidental.
00:51:33Because when I called you yesterday to tell you Lee was being released without charge,
00:51:37you were furious.
00:51:38You said we were putting a child killer back on the streets.
00:51:41I'm guessing now he's dead, Edendale can breathe a sigh of relief.
00:51:43Did you go looking for Lee after that call?
00:51:47Course not.
00:51:49I can't stand being anywhere near that, man.
00:51:52Perhaps there was another reason you hated Lee Bateman.
00:51:55What are you getting at?
00:51:57Well, we know that you were secretly tracking Laura's movements on her phone.
00:52:03Were you spying on Charlotte too?
00:52:06Because if you were, you would have noticed that she went to the church ruins whenever you left the house.
00:52:10Look, I'm not stupid detectives.
00:52:13I knew Charlotte was having an affair with Lee Bateman.
00:52:25Well, why didn't you confront her about it then?
00:52:27The scandal coming out is worse than the crime itself.
00:52:29I thought if Charlotte was being discreet, then I could turn a blind eye.
00:52:33Appearances do mean everything to you, don't they?
00:52:35We believe what we see, eh?
00:52:38And what about that fresh-looking dent in your bumper?
00:52:40We notice it when you arrive back.
00:52:43Yeah, that.
00:52:44I, er...
00:52:45I swerved to miss a date when I was driving out of the house yesterday evening.
00:52:50Are you sure you didn't swerve to hit something else?
00:52:53Or someone else?
00:52:54No comment.
00:53:06Dominic didn't flinch when we told him Lee Bateman was dead.
00:53:09He also said he knew about Charlotte's affair taking place right under his nose, but claimed he was happy to turn a blind eye.
00:53:15And the dent in his car?
00:53:16Said he swore to miss a day.
00:53:18Harry Dickinson said there's loads of them on the estate.
00:53:21When can we expect results from soccer?
00:53:23They're doing the test now, sir, so we should have something tomorrow.
00:53:26Great.
00:53:27Stay on.
00:53:29Mum, I'm at work.
00:53:31You all right?
00:53:33Right, wait there.
00:53:34Wait there.
00:53:35Are you all default?
00:53:37Yeah.
00:53:38You okay?
00:53:38Yeah, good.
00:53:39Won't be long.
00:53:39Mum?
00:53:48You told me it was an emergency.
00:53:50I thought you'd fallen down the stairs again.
00:53:53I'm not bad, Dodd-ray.
00:53:56The cards have spoken.
00:53:58Jesus.
00:54:01See?
00:54:03No, Mum, I don't see.
00:54:06Money and treason.
00:54:09Your father was murdered over bad money.
00:54:12Gambling.
00:54:13Mum, Dad never gambled.
00:54:14I'm not saying that he did, but what I am saying is that's the reason he were out there on Boggarts Bridge that night.
00:54:21I can't use tarot cards to steer an investigation.
00:54:25But this is the clearest message we've ever had.
00:54:28It's been five years, almost to the day, and nothing has happened.
00:54:32You need all the help you can get.
00:54:34You think I don't know that?
00:54:35Look, I'm sorry, love.
00:54:39I'm sure you're trying as hard as you can.
00:54:42I've got to go back to work.
00:54:44Did you ask Diane about coming on Saturday?
00:54:47I did.
00:54:48She is.
00:54:49Why?
00:54:50Tell her I have an urgent message for her and all.
00:54:51Can I get a large housewife, please?
00:55:01Is that there?
00:55:02Sure thing.
00:55:06All right?
00:55:07Hiya.
00:55:09How was your mum?
00:55:11This anniversary's got her all stirred up.
00:55:14She'll be all right after Saturday.
00:55:16It's good to hear.
00:55:17She believes you're coming.
00:55:18Really?
00:55:19Mm-hmm.
00:55:20She's got a special message for you.
00:55:22I've had enough of her special messages, thank you.
00:55:25Well, hey.
00:55:27Tracy?
00:55:28Do you want to join us?
00:55:29But it is a work freeze.
00:55:30I'm...
00:55:30Oh, no.
00:55:30I've had my glass already.
00:55:32There was a fella in here earlier looking for you.
00:55:35When?
00:55:36About an hour ago.
00:55:37Very handsome.
00:55:39Forties.
00:55:39Tailored to.
00:55:41What did you tell him?
00:55:42Well, just so that you'd be in later, and he went.
00:55:46You going to tell us who this fella is?
00:55:47Yes.
00:55:48No.
00:55:49I'm all right.
00:55:51See you both tomorrow.
00:55:52Yeah.
00:55:52Bye.
00:55:57I take it this is the gentleman you left behind, Elite?
00:56:00Yeah.
00:56:02And he's the reason you came to Edendale?
00:56:05Something I can't handle.
00:56:07Right.
00:56:08Well, if you want to feel a bit safer, I've got a spare room at my house.
00:56:10You're welcome to get there for a few nights.
00:56:12Thank you, but, um, I'll be okay.
00:56:18See you soon.
00:56:19See you soon.
00:56:19I'll be right back.
00:56:49I'll be right back.
00:57:19I'll be right back.
00:57:49So, we just had an interesting call come in from an Edendale council worker.
00:57:58He's a genie who scoops up roadkill animals and makes them disappear.
00:58:03Turns out he was driving near Ravenside on Sunday night, and he thought he caught a glimpse
00:58:09of a dog running loose through the woods.
00:58:12The black dog.
00:58:13He went to investigate and to see if the owner turned up, which they never did.
00:58:18He then moved on to his last job because it was getting dark.
00:58:21This is around 6.30 p.m.
00:58:23This is around 6.30 p.m.
00:58:23Close to the time, Nora was murdered.
00:58:25Is there a chance it could have been Harry Dickinson's dog?
00:58:29Come on.
00:58:30I've got a dog.
00:58:31It could be any one of them.
00:58:32Yeah, but you won't want your dog on the estate.
00:58:34There's signs everywhere.
00:58:35Dog's off the lead of the shop.
00:58:36I'm thinking there's a good chance that Harry could have lied to me and it was his dog
00:58:41that the worker saw.
00:58:43Well, I'll go with Diane and speak to Dickinson.
00:58:46Yes, sir.
00:58:51You all right?
00:58:53You look knackered.
00:58:54No, I'm fine.
00:58:55Once his coffee kicks in, I'll be all right.
00:58:56Come on.
00:58:57You left the pub early last night.
00:58:59Looks like you're still in the same clothes.
00:59:01Have you even been home?
00:59:02There's nothing I can't handle, remember.
00:59:06You brought it, then?
00:59:30I was thinking.
00:59:31On the way here.
00:59:32We could set the sheep free in the woods.
00:59:38Let them fend for themselves.
00:59:40You can't live on pine cones and leaves, Harry.
00:59:43This is the kindest way.
00:59:45You don't have to do it with me.
00:59:48Hello again, Mr. Beely.
00:59:51What do these two want?
00:59:52Hello, Mr. Dickinson.
00:59:54Helen said you were here again.
00:59:56Aye.
00:59:57Still helping Sam sort things out.
00:59:59Dare I ask what you're up to today?
01:00:00We're slaughtering the sheep.
01:00:04Don't worry.
01:00:05We're not going to strangle them.
01:00:08You're not joking?
01:00:10Can't look after them anymore.
01:00:12Are you shutting down the smallholding?
01:00:14No choice.
01:00:15Can barely tip a bag of feed these days.
01:00:17I see.
01:00:18I mean, I noticed the walking stick.
01:00:20I've the Goldstone Company to thank for that.
01:00:23That's the mining company, innit?
01:00:25We were the only survivors when the whole thing collapsed in June of 92.
01:00:28Five days we were trapped down there in the dark.
01:00:31I remember.
01:00:32A dozen men died.
01:00:33Oh, this fellow here saved my life.
01:00:37Feeding me water from his hands.
01:00:40All right, well, um...
01:00:42We've got some more questions to ask you about Sunday evening.
01:00:46Obviously, when Laura was murdered.
01:00:48Got a witness who said they saw a dog running loose through the woods.
01:00:50Can't admit, Jess.
01:00:52She never leaves my side.
01:00:54I were.
01:00:55Where is she, then?
01:00:57Home.
01:00:58In a basket.
01:00:59Turned herself inside out last night.
01:01:01You were right about not eating those chickens.
01:01:04So you weren't at Ravenside on Sunday evening?
01:01:07You're beginning to annoy me more than a bloody horsefly.
01:01:11I'm just asking for your help with the murder investigation.
01:01:13That's all, Harry.
01:01:14It's not too much to ask.
01:01:15Well, I feel bad about what happened to that girl.
01:01:17Well, I'm quite happy that Dominic Kirkham goes through as much hell as possible.
01:01:22Now get the pair here.
01:01:25And leave me be.
01:01:29Come on.
01:01:31When we've killed the sheep, we're going to burn them.
01:01:34Want to stay around for a bit of lamb shank?
01:01:35I wonder what Harry's got against Dominic Kirkham.
01:01:45Well, I doubt he'll ever tell us.
01:01:48You could always go and ask Helen.
01:01:50Quite the first date I had in mind.
01:01:52So you reschedule our drink and then turn up again out of the blue?
01:02:03I know, I know.
01:02:04And I'm sorry for messing you about, Helen.
01:02:06I just, um...
01:02:07If it's OK, I just had a question to ask you about your Uncle Harry.
01:02:11Is it to do with the investigation?
01:02:13I'm not sure yet.
01:02:14Maybe.
01:02:16All right.
01:02:16So it's safe to say that your Uncle Harry is definitely not a fan of Dominic Kirkham.
01:02:21Is there a reason for that?
01:02:23Did something happen between the two of them?
01:02:25Don't you find anyone around here with a good word to say about them?
01:02:27That's not what I asked, Helen.
01:02:32Listen, I just need to find a background on this guy.
01:02:35Anything that's going to help us solve Laura's murder.
01:02:39It happened months ago.
01:02:43Dominic called me up one afternoon asking if I'd come over to the estate
01:02:46and give Laura some private writing lessons.
01:02:49She were a lovely girl, Laura.
01:02:50Feel funny.
01:02:51Smart.
01:02:52Terrible look in her eye.
01:02:53Yeah, that's what people have said.
01:02:56I was only teaching her for a few weeks
01:02:59when Dominic organised this big garden party for all his clients.
01:03:04He said he wanted Laura to ride in on the horse
01:03:06just so we could show her off to all his guests.
01:03:09And you told him no?
01:03:10Absolutely.
01:03:12That horse wasn't used to big crowds of people.
01:03:14It would have gotten spooked and thrown Laura off.
01:03:16Of course, Dominic didn't like me saying no, but I stood my ground, told Laura to dismount.
01:03:22Then he just slapped me right in front of her.
01:03:24Jesus Christ.
01:03:25Jesus Christ.
01:03:26Uncle Harry came home, saw the welt coming up across my cheek and he grabbed his gun and said he was going to shoot off his kneecaps.
01:03:33I talked him out of it, obviously.
01:03:36But I don't understand why would Harry keep on working for Dominic if he's done this to you.
01:03:42Dominic guns all the cottages on the estate.
01:03:45If I made a formal complaint against him, he'd fire my uncle and make him homeless the same day.
01:03:50In the end, I convinced Harry that he serves the land, not the owner, and we just put it to bed.
01:03:58Well, I appreciate you telling me all this. I know it can't have been easy.
01:04:02Do you know what? It actually feels good to have finally told someone.
01:04:06Listen, do you want me to take this any further? I can call him in.
01:04:09No, no, I don't. What's done is done.
01:04:11One thing I do regret, though, about not coming forward, is that I let Dominic get away with it.
01:04:19I'm sure I'm not the first person to be on the receiving end of his anger.
01:04:24You didn't ever see him hit Laura, did you?
01:04:27She kept away from him as much as possible.
01:04:29So, make her that what you will.
01:04:37When we spoke yesterday, Mr Kirkham,
01:04:39you agreed with me when I said appearances mean everything.
01:04:43Like the portraits in your hallway.
01:04:46Everyone's smiling.
01:04:47Laura looks happy.
01:04:49But I suppose it's all just part of the illusion, isn't it?
01:04:52I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:04:54We know Laura was rebelling against you.
01:04:56Expelled from an expensive private school.
01:04:59Smoking with a gardener.
01:05:00Which is why she needed firm parenting and strong boundaries.
01:05:03On that Sunday, you found Laura's phone in her bedroom.
01:05:06Correct.
01:05:06And that's when you realised she'd tripped you, making you think she was at home studying when actual fact she'd left the house.
01:05:11So she wasn't doing what she was told.
01:05:13Now, I think before you phoned the police to say that Laura was missing, you did find her.
01:05:17And because all your previous attempts to try and control her behaviour had failed,
01:05:21you lost your temper and you swung at her, hitting her in the back of the head.
01:05:24This is bullshit. I never laid a finger on her.
01:05:26You've no idea the sacrifices I made for that girl and her mother.
01:05:30What sacrifices, Dominic?
01:05:31Well, where do you want me to start?
01:05:32When I first met Charlotte, she was stuck in a toxic relationship.
01:05:42Pretty awful man.
01:05:44So I took her and Laura in.
01:05:46I raised her as my own.
01:05:48I gave them everything that they could want in this world.
01:05:50And what did I get in return?
01:05:52Infidelity and damn right disobedience.
01:05:54You're not Laura's real father.
01:05:57No.
01:06:00No, I'm not.
01:06:03I tried to love Laura as if she was my own.
01:06:08And she resisted and rejected that love with every fibre of a bee.
01:06:17Dominic always referred to Laura as my daughter.
01:06:20I think being a stepdad doesn't fit in with Dominic's vision of the perfect family.
01:06:25Kept it quiet.
01:06:27And unfortunately, as we all know,
01:06:30stepfathers are more likely to kill children than actual fathers.
01:06:33Yeah, we had the same alarm bells ringing.
01:06:36Boss, we've just had more forensics in from the crash investigators.
01:06:40I'm calling it.
01:06:42Final mail for Dominic Kirkham.
01:06:44It's the opposite, I'm afraid.
01:06:45They found red metallic car paint on Lee's clothing.
01:06:48Dominic's car's blank.
01:06:50Yeah, which means he can't be our hit-and-run driver.
01:06:55No, but Gemma Ward might be.
01:07:02Gemma!
01:07:03Police!
01:07:03Come on, Gemma, open it up!
01:07:18Come on, Gemma, open it up!
01:07:18Please.
01:07:39Woo!
01:07:40Lee called me saying he was out on bail and wanted picking up on Bulma Road.
01:07:52I grabbed my keys, went off to get him.
01:07:56I was speeding all the way there because I didn't want him waiting.
01:08:01Then I see him up ahead and I knew if I let him get in the car,
01:08:07he'd lay it on thick with excuses and promises trying to win me over.
01:08:15I couldn't give him that chance.
01:08:19He didn't deserve another one.
01:08:24So, instead of slowing down, I sped up, aimed right for him.
01:08:38My mum didn't want me to marry Lee.
01:08:42Said he brought out the worst in everyone.
01:08:46She was right.
01:08:51So what happens with Dominic now?
01:08:54We have to let him go, pending further inquiries.
01:08:58Unless anything came up when you spoke to Helen Miller.
01:09:00There was something, sir.
01:09:06Dominic assaulted Helen at his stables a few months ago, struck her across the face.
01:09:11Harry Dickinson found out and Helen managed to convince him to keep quiet.
01:09:15As you can imagine, he wasn't a happy man.
01:09:18Are you going to tell us?
01:09:21Right, this proves Dominic has a violent disposition, yeah?
01:09:24Well, this is new information we can't use.
01:09:27Why not?
01:09:28Because Helen wants to keep it in the past.
01:09:30Aren't you just convinced him to make a statement then?
01:09:32I'm not sure I can do that.
01:09:35You can't, you won't?
01:09:36I won't.
01:09:37It's a joke.
01:09:38Look, even if Helen did give a statement, it don't prove that Dominic laid a hand on Laura.
01:09:43I just think Harry Dickinson was lying about not being in the woods when Laura was murdered.
01:09:47And I don't think he'd let Dominic get away with hitting Helen.
01:09:50It's his niece.
01:09:52Do you think he attacked Laura out of revenge?
01:09:55Well, he knows more than he's letting on, put it that way.
01:09:58Why don't I speak to the roadkill cleaner?
01:10:00I mean, he was vague about the dog he saw in the woods.
01:10:01If he can prove that it was black, then we could put pressure on Harry to tell the truth.
01:10:06Yeah, and with your permission, sir, I'd like to dig a little bit deeper into him.
01:10:11All right.
01:10:18Did Lee ever mention anything about Harry Dickinson?
01:10:21He was a groundskeeper on the estate.
01:10:24Harry went mad at Lee for moving some old stone inside the church rubens.
01:10:29Harry started to shove Lee about, so Lee threatened him with the sharp end of the spade.
01:10:35It was weird.
01:10:37This old man getting so upset about a stone.
01:10:42I don't think of him as far as an old man who was shot.
01:10:45He danced in a large open window.
01:10:45And he ran into the attic.
01:10:46He has to be knocked out of Congress.
01:10:47But it was tricky.
01:10:47Of the
01:10:56abilательte.
01:11:01You need to get his wife's phone.
01:11:01Um, no, that's helpful. Thank you.
01:11:20So, what did the roadside genie say?
01:11:23The dog he saw in the woods was black and white.
01:11:28So not Harry Dickinson's then?
01:11:31Hold on.
01:11:43Whose dog is that?
01:11:49Mr Kirkham, I need you to look at this photo.
01:11:51No, I'm done with all this.
01:11:51It might help find Laura's killer.
01:11:53Who does that dog belong to?
01:11:55The old gardener.
01:11:57He quit shortly after that thought was taken.
01:12:00He keeps on banging on about this sacred stone.
01:12:02Who is he?
01:12:05My name's Sam Bailey.
01:12:06Sir, the dog in this photo belongs to Sam Bailey, ex-garden of Dominic Kirkham.
01:12:29I think it was this dog that the council worker saw running wild on Ravenside the night that Laura was murdered.
01:12:34And I think it was this dog that bit Laura.
01:12:36Not a fox or a badger.
01:12:38And does this mean that Harry Dickinson's not involved?
01:12:40No, I think Harry knew that it was Sam's dog who bit Laura.
01:12:42Apparently them two are closer than family since the mining accident.
01:12:45Let's arrest Harry Dickinson as I'm feeling.
01:12:47Sir.
01:12:48Sir.
01:12:50Sir.
01:13:02Sir.
01:13:02Sir.
01:13:03Sir.
01:13:09Sir.
01:13:11Sir.
01:13:15Easy, Ben Cooper.
01:13:45Ben, Ben!
01:14:05I know, I know, it's your home.
01:14:23I'm leaving.
01:14:29I know, I know.
01:14:36I know, I know.
01:14:42I know, I know.
01:14:47I know.
01:14:52I know, I know.
01:15:21Cooper?
01:15:34Dave?
01:15:40It's me.
01:15:50It's me.
01:15:51It's me.
01:15:52What are you doing?
01:15:53I have been looking for you.
01:15:54I was following Sam, but then I heard you shouting.
01:15:56I've lost him.
01:15:57I know where he is.
01:15:58Where?
01:15:59He's gone to be with his wife.
01:16:03Read this.
01:16:07I know where he is.
01:16:20Sam.
01:16:21We've read Gillette, mate.
01:16:33We know everything.
01:16:34You're going to have to come to the station with us.
01:16:37My Faith, this is how it has to end.
01:16:39Go back.
01:16:40You don't have to see this.
01:16:41Oh, Sam.
01:16:42Sam.
01:16:43You don't want to do that.
01:16:45Listen to me.
01:16:47Do you not think Laura's parents deserve to know what happened to her?
01:16:57Explain it to us, Sam.
01:17:00So, a couple of weeks back, Harry told me that young Lee had been down here and decided
01:17:05to move the stone back towards the house.
01:17:07I couldn't let that happen.
01:17:09So, I come down Sunday afternoon to put it back in its place.
01:17:12This was where I sat with my wife, Ruth.
01:17:18Every day for nearly 20 years.
01:17:20This was like our special spot.
01:17:23We'd come here for our lunch.
01:17:24She cooked up in the kitchens in the house and I tended the gardens.
01:17:28And we had like this little arrangement.
01:17:31She'd bring the sandwiches and I'd bring a joke I'd made up that morning.
01:17:36On a good day, her laugh would scare the birds out of the trees.
01:17:41It's been gone two years.
01:17:44It just feels like yesterday.
01:17:49I spread her ashes around the stone so I could still come here and be with her, you know,
01:17:53and share a joke.
01:17:55When I came down on Sunday, Laura was sat here smoking a cigarette.
01:17:59I told her to swing her up and let me move the stone back into place.
01:18:03She just laughed like I couldn't do it.
01:18:07She didn't realise what the stone meant.
01:18:09This is Ruth's last resting place.
01:18:13I shouted at Laura. I said some things I'm not proud of.
01:18:16She just flicked her cigarette into the weeds and walked away like this place was nothing.
01:18:21Connie went after her.
01:18:23It's what she's trained to do.
01:18:24Laura pushed her away.
01:18:25Connie didn't like that.
01:18:26Jumped up and bit her on the arm.
01:18:27Laura started screaming.
01:18:28Going on about how she's going to get Connie put down.
01:18:32And you lost your temper.
01:18:38Picked her on the back of the head with a new stick.
01:18:41That's when she went running.
01:18:43Connie went after her.
01:18:45I tried to make things right.
01:18:47I went looking for her but...
01:18:48I couldn't find her.
01:18:52Sam.
01:18:53We hear you.
01:18:55We know you've lost everything.
01:18:58But you need to put that gun down.
01:19:00I just want to be with my wife.
01:19:14It's okay Sam.
01:19:17It's okay Sam.
01:19:18It's okay.
01:19:19I just want to be with you.
01:19:21Bye.
01:19:22Bye.
01:19:37Shush Connie.
01:19:40You warmed up yet Harry?
01:19:41It'll take a bit lad.
01:19:42The cold from them woods goes in deep.
01:19:47When Sam came to see you late Sunday evening.
01:19:50After he'd killed Laura.
01:19:52Why not get him to turn himself in?
01:19:54There was no way Sam could deal with being locked in a tiny prison cell.
01:20:00See, he became claustrophobic after the mining accident.
01:20:04Even sitting in here, he'd have to have the front door open in case he needed to escape.
01:20:09When he asked for my help to end things his way, I agreed.
01:20:18He saved my life.
01:20:20How could I say no?
01:20:22Fed you water from his hands.
01:20:24And how many friends would do that?
01:20:27You know you're going to have to answer for your part in all of this.
01:20:37I know lad.
01:20:38One thing before we take you away.
01:20:42Why did you take me to see Laura's body?
01:20:47You lot were searching in the wrong bloody direction.
01:20:51I didn't want that young girl lying out in the woods any longer.
01:20:55I've seen what happens to a deer when it dies out there.
01:20:58When the animals and the insects take over.
01:21:02No one deserves that.
01:21:04Yeah.
01:21:08Right.
01:21:09Do with me what you will.
01:21:13What's going on?
01:21:14Nothing that can't be sorted, love.
01:21:18Harry Dickinson, I'm arresting you for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
01:21:24You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention one question, something you later rely on in court.
01:21:30Now, listen, take Connie back to my cottage, will you?
01:21:38She'll be good company for Jess, while I'm away.
01:22:00Whoops.
01:22:10...
01:22:15...
01:22:20...
01:22:22Did you notice that they've taken the wreath down?
01:22:46All right, no more talk of the black dog, okay?
01:22:49Welcome back to 21st century.
01:22:50Hang on, hang on.
01:22:52I could have sworn you shouted out someone's name in the woods.
01:22:55Was Helen right?
01:22:56With the trees whispering to you?
01:22:57No.
01:22:58No.
01:22:58But I actually have to admit, it was creepy as hell.
01:23:00Look, I love a good horror, but I don't want to be your main character in one.
01:23:04What about me?
01:23:04I'm stuck in a rom-com nightmare.
01:23:06Boy meets girl, girl takes boy for a walk.
01:23:08Boy arrests girl's uncle, boy texts girl, girl ignores boy's text.
01:23:13Well, you don't have to be alone forever.
01:23:15Well, I'm not going on a dating app, that's for sure.
01:23:17No, I was thinking of taking you up on the offer to kip over for a few nights.
01:23:21I just need a sofa.
01:23:23That's right, I made that offer, didn't I?
01:23:25You're just being polite, I can see it.
01:23:27No, no, it's fine, it's fine, you can stay.
01:23:28No, it's all right.
01:23:30No, you can stay.
01:23:32It's good to have company.
01:23:33No, I'd actually really appreciate it.
01:23:35Oh, that's fine.
01:23:36Cheers to black dogs, yeah?
01:23:38No.
01:23:39Okay.
01:23:49Joe was one of the finest.
01:23:52He was a great officer.
01:23:55A great colleague.
01:23:58More importantly, he was a friend.
01:24:02A great husband.
01:24:04And a great father.
01:24:05And nothing was too much trouble for him.
01:24:11And no one, no one could make you laugh as hard.
01:24:17You remember the sheep in my office?
01:24:19In me damn jacket?
01:24:20Yeah.
01:24:24Here's two of you, Barrel.
01:24:29It's Joe.
01:24:31God bless.
01:24:31Yes.
01:24:35To Joe.
01:24:48I miss you, Dad.
01:24:50Every day.
01:24:50I miss you.
01:25:05I'm really glad you came.
01:25:09I've got a message for you, in fact.
01:25:10Oh, you don't have to do that right now.
01:25:13It's more of a warning, really.
01:25:15You're going to destroy someone you really love.
01:25:19Ruin their life forever.
01:25:21But it's not too late to change a path.
01:25:24I don't care what the cards say, Isabel.
01:25:27Cards can't lie, Diane.
01:25:29I mean, we can.
01:25:30To ourselves.
01:25:32They can't.
01:25:36Shall we make a move, Mum?
01:25:38Yes.
01:25:38Yes, folks.
01:25:39I'll catch up with you now.
01:25:40All right.
01:25:40Yeah.
01:25:45Right?
01:25:47Yeah, fine.
01:25:48You?
01:25:49Yeah.
01:25:51A bit more flowers last year.
01:25:54Well, that's life, innit?
01:25:56People move on.
01:25:57People forget.
01:25:58Not the people that know and love, Joan.
01:26:02They'd never forget.
01:26:05Homegrown, they're nice.
01:26:07Yeah, someone leaves them every year.
01:26:10Same flowers, same message.
01:26:13Always and forever.
01:26:16Look, thank you for inviting me, Ben.
01:26:19I just wish I had the chance to get to know him.
01:26:32Sorry, Dad.
01:26:36I'm going to have to stop.
01:26:37Bye.
01:27:00Bye.
01:27:01Bye.
01:27:02Bye.
01:27:03Bye.
01:27:03Bye.
