00:03:52Lee, where are you?
00:03:54We were going to talk about the seating plan tonight, remember?
00:03:57And if you're not here, I might end up putting you next to my mum on top table.
00:04:01I might end up putting you next to my mum on top table.
00:04:08I might end up putting you next to my mum on top table.
00:04:15I might end up putting you next to my mum on top table.
00:04:22I might end up putting you next to my mum on top table.
00:04:27No, I haven't planned anything yet for Dad's anniversary.
00:04:34No, I haven't planned anything yet for Dad's anniversary.
00:04:56Well, you'll need to get a move on.
00:04:58Well, I'll have to come up with something, won't I, Mum?
00:05:01A bit quick.
00:05:02Yeah, listen, Mum, I can't really talk about you now.
00:05:04I won't work, OK?
00:05:05I'll call you later.
00:05:06Here.
00:05:07Now, the missing persons report is coming in this morning.
00:05:14Laura Kirkham, 16 years of age, last seen at home lunchtime yesterday.
00:05:19Her parents, Dominic and Charlotte Kirkham are the new owners of the Windlow estate,
00:05:23which means there's over 500 acres to be searched, including dense woodland.
00:05:29Boss, since when are we in the search and rescue business?
00:05:31Since I agreed we'd help out.
00:05:37Dominic and Charlotte were at lunch yesterday.
00:05:39They got back to the house at about 4pm.
00:05:41There was no sign of Laura.
00:05:42They searched the house and phoned emergency when it started to get dark.
00:05:47Uniform attended and conducted a thorough search of the property and the nearby buildings,
00:05:52which means she's been missing for over 20 hours.
00:05:55I take it she's not been answering her phone.
00:05:58Dominic found her phone in her bedroom when he got home.
00:06:01Teenagers don't leave their phones behind, sir.
00:06:04Well, it's with digital forensics now.
00:06:07Erland, you have this lot to interview.
00:06:10It's a list of the people who work in the house and on the estate.
00:06:13Ben, Diane, I want you to interview the Kirkhams,
00:06:16try and get more of a sense of who Laura is,
00:06:18and stay open-minded because they've both alivied each other.
00:06:21Will do, sir.
00:06:31So this is the Windmill estate.
00:06:37It's a bit worn down.
00:06:43It's in the Woburn family for generations.
00:06:46When George Woburn died last year,
00:06:48he didn't have an heir,
00:06:49so it came up for sale.
00:06:51Now it's Kirkham's passion project,
00:06:53and he wants to restore it.
00:06:54The Kirkhams only have one daughter.
00:06:56Yeah, why?
00:06:57It just seemed a bit much for three people.
00:07:01Yeah.
00:07:01You all right?
00:07:08Yeah, it's nothing.
00:07:11Looks like bad news to me.
00:07:15It's fine.
00:07:25Happy looking family.
00:07:27You're not going to put a bad picture of her, are you?
00:07:29No.
00:07:31Rest assured, Mrs Kirkham,
00:07:35we are doing everything we can to find Laura.
00:07:37I mean, this is ridiculous.
00:07:38I can't go and look for my own daughter.
00:07:40We've got drones and search parties
00:07:42working their way across the estate,
00:07:43and we've got uniformed officers up in town
00:07:45asking people if they've seen Laura.
00:07:47We've put the train and bus station on high alert
00:07:49in case she tries to leave Edendale.
00:07:52You could help us by telling us a little bit more about her.
00:07:56She's a good girl.
00:07:58Very bright.
00:07:59When she's not got her head in a book,
00:08:02she'll be out at the stables with the horses.
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:06Does she have a boyfriend?
00:08:09No.
00:08:10Laura doesn't have time to socialise outside her school.
00:08:13She's too busy concentrating on her studies.
00:08:15She's going to be a lawyer.
00:08:16Was she stressed about her exams?
00:08:19Could that have been a reason she ran away?
00:08:21We had a parent's evening recently.
00:08:23The teacher said she was doing okay.
00:08:25Any significant life changes?
00:08:27Anything at all?
00:08:28Oh, yeah.
00:08:29She met Lee Bateman.
00:08:32Who's that?
00:08:33Dominic.
00:08:35He was.
00:08:36The gardener.
00:08:38About a month ago,
00:08:39I caught him with his shirt off,
00:08:40flirting with our Laura
00:08:41when he was supposed to be working,
00:08:42so I sent my work away from the house,
00:08:44and last week,
00:08:45I caught a pair of them smoking weed together.
00:08:46So what do you do?
00:08:48I fired him on the spot.
00:08:50Do you think Laura ran away with Lee Bateman?
00:08:52No, I don't think she ran away with Lee Bateman, detective.
00:08:55I think.
00:08:57He's abducted her.
00:09:04Dominic Kirkham reckons we should be speaking to this guy,
00:09:07Lee Bateman.
00:09:08He's pretty insistent that Lee's taken Laura off somewhere.
00:09:11As you can see, he's known to us.
00:09:12He's got a previous for theft intent to supply GBH.
00:09:16If you look a bit early down in his career...
00:09:17persuaded young girls to go and steal alcohol from the supermarket.
00:09:22So he gets young girls to do his bidding.
00:09:24Apparently he got nasty with them
00:09:25if they didn't bring back what he wanted.
00:09:26And it doesn't take a huge leap of the imagination
00:09:28to guess what he wanted with a 16-year-old Laura.
00:09:31Right.
00:09:32I'll go and track down this Lee Bateman,
00:09:34see if he's involved.
00:09:36Meanwhile, Diane, can you go and join the searchers?
00:09:38Ben, we've had a call through the nights.
00:09:40Can you go and check it out?
00:09:41Yes, sir.
00:09:42Sir.
00:09:47Oh, my God.
00:10:05Ben Cooper.
00:10:07I didn't expect you to turn up.
00:10:09Please, come in.
00:10:47We had a call from Harry Dickinson
00:10:51saying he'd found something on the estate.
00:10:53I'll take it you know Harry.
00:10:55Yeah, Harry's my uncle.
00:10:56I look after him from time to time.
00:10:58He's the groundskeeper at Wynlaw.
00:11:00Uncle Harry!
00:11:01It's the police!
00:11:03Wow.
00:11:04Ben.
00:11:06I haven't seen you since we left school.
00:11:08Sounds about right.
00:11:10You look good.
00:11:12So do you.
00:11:12Last I heard you were getting married to a farmer
00:11:17just outside Edendale?
00:11:18No, I did, but it didn't work out.
00:11:20Ah, sorry to hear that.
00:11:22No, don't be.
00:11:22It's for the best.
00:11:23Right.
00:11:24Get to spend all my time with my horses.
00:11:26I run the stables up at Privy Point.
00:11:28Ah.
00:11:29How about you?
00:11:30Ah, married to the job, I guess.
00:11:32Yeah.
00:11:37It's all over the village.
00:11:39You're out looking for Laura Kirkham.
00:11:42This hers?
00:11:51Where did you find this?
00:11:53Jess picked it up.
00:11:54That's our grave inside.
00:11:56Laura wouldn't have gotten far without it.
00:11:58Size five and a half,
00:12:03and they look exactly like the one on Laura's photo as well.
00:12:06Who found it?
00:12:07Er, Harry Dickinson.
00:12:09He's the groundskeeper up at the Kirkham's estate.
00:12:11Found him this morning when he was walking in the woods
00:12:13near Ravenside.
00:12:14Well, his dog did.
00:12:15Right.
00:12:16And I think we have a bit of blood here as well.
00:12:19Keep Harry in the house till I get to do it.
00:12:21Will do.
00:12:23Woo!
00:12:25I need you to stay put, Mr Dickinson.
00:12:27Do you want me to show you where I found this shoe or not?
00:12:30Ah, but we have to wait for the search teams first.
00:12:33What if Laura Kirkham's lying in a ditch right now?
00:12:36With a broken ankle or worse.
00:12:38She won't thank you for waiting.
00:12:39Come on.
00:12:41Off we go then.
00:12:52Do you ever see anyone, have you?
00:12:55Only living things in these woods are the badgers.
00:12:58And the fallow deer, and we've got too many of them bloody things.
00:13:02Dominic Kirkham wants me to leave the deer alone.
00:13:05Thinks they're pretty.
00:13:06He'll change his tune once he hits one in the shiny new four-by-four.
00:13:10They're eating the woods from the ground up.
00:13:12What we could really do with is some help from the Black Dog.
00:13:16Ah, the Black Dog.
00:13:18I remember hearing about it when I was a kid.
00:13:20It was a good story, though.
00:13:21It kept us from trespassing on the estate.
00:13:24Come on.
00:13:25More than a story.
00:13:26A few hundred years ago,
00:13:28Black Dog used to come out of the woods at night,
00:13:30hunting cattle and sheep.
00:13:31Then it moved into the village,
00:13:33started taking babies from houses.
00:13:35In the end, they caught it.
00:13:37Buried it under a plague stone.
00:13:39Right.
00:13:40This is where Jess dropped the shoe.
00:13:42She must have found it.
00:13:44Down there.
00:13:45Along the stream.
00:13:47Off you go, then.
00:13:52Careful, lad.
00:13:53If you hurt yourself, I shan't be carrying you back.
00:13:56Yes, noted, Harry.
00:13:59Good luck.
00:14:03Come on.
00:14:08Good luck.
00:14:38I told you to keep adding Dickinson back at the cottage
00:14:52and wait for the search teams.
00:14:54Five.
00:14:55Laurie was injured, you know.
00:14:57We've protocoled for a reason, Ben.
00:14:59Understood.
00:15:01Dr. Taylor, what can you tell us?
00:15:04Well, off the record,
00:15:05it's almost certainly the girl you've been looking for.
00:15:07First impressions are
00:15:09she's got a significant injury to the back of her head.
00:15:12Most likely a blunt object.
00:15:15Is that what killed her?
00:15:16In the end, probably, yes.
00:15:18But I think after Laura was struck,
00:15:20she ran through the forest to escape.
00:15:22Socos are picking up a trail of hair and blood spots
00:15:25through the trees that start way down there
00:15:26and end up near the stream where she was found.
00:15:30My guess is that she ran
00:15:31and kept running until she fainted.
00:15:33Lost consciousness,
00:15:34then bled out through the head wound.
00:15:35So the initial attack could have happened
00:15:38before Laura entered the woods?
00:15:40Correct.
00:15:41Any sign of sexual assault?
00:15:43No, she's fully clothed,
00:15:44so you'll have to wait
00:15:45till I get her back to the mortuary
00:15:46for a definite answer.
00:15:47I did find a single bite mark on her right arm.
00:15:50Difficult to say what made it at this stage.
00:15:52An animal got to her?
00:15:54Yeah, more than likely.
00:15:55Harry Dickinson said badgers were up here.
00:15:57Yeah, mate.
00:15:58I'll compare the bite marks to be sure.
00:16:00Thank you, Dr. Taylor.
00:16:02Right.
00:16:04Once we get Laura back to the mortuary,
00:16:06I'll go and collect Charlotte and Dominic Kirkham
00:16:08to confirm the ID.
00:16:10Do you want me to come with?
00:16:11No.
00:16:12I want you back at CID.
00:16:14Liaise with Socor.
00:16:16What about me, sir?
00:16:17You go get Ellen
00:16:18and pick up Lee Bateman immediately.
00:16:20Have you come across Lee Bateman before?
00:16:27He's been off our radar for a while,
00:16:29but I don't know if he's changed much.
00:16:32Right, here we are.
00:16:38Lee!
00:16:39I just want to talk to you, mate.
00:16:44About what, man?
00:16:45Laura Kirkham.
00:16:48Right, give me five minutes.
00:16:51Hey!
00:16:52You'll get down quicker than that,
00:16:53else I'm coming through that front door.
00:17:03So has Ben invited you along on Saturday?
00:17:05To what?
00:17:07Has Joe Cooper's anniversary?
00:17:10No.
00:17:11No, he hasn't.
00:17:12All right.
00:17:13Right.
00:17:14It's probably for the best, anyway.
00:17:16It's always a grim affair.
00:17:17Okay.
00:17:17He's running!
00:17:31He's running!
00:17:31Hey.
00:17:48Hey.
00:17:51Only the guilt you're on.
00:17:52Am I right?
00:17:52Right.
00:17:52He's running!
00:17:53He's running!
00:17:53He's running!
00:17:59He's running!
00:18:01I heard Lee Bainman gave you the slip.
00:18:31Sarge is waiting for Lee's fiance, Gemma, to return from work.
00:18:35Right, so digital forensics have done a preliminary report on Laura's phone.
00:18:39Is that everything?
00:18:41Yeah, it's weird, right? So usually you expect to find thousands of messages, social media posts, like triple that for a teenager's phone, but there's hardly anything on that.
00:18:48Do you know what still bothers me? Laura left her phone behind on Sunday afternoon. What teenager does that?
00:18:54I'll get forensics to dig a little deeper.
00:18:56You made me run, Gemma. I don't like running. I'm not a fan.
00:19:04It was self-preservation.
00:19:07Where's he off to?
00:19:12Not a clue. Just back from work, aren't I?
00:19:15So you were here all day yesterday?
00:19:17Yeah, yeah. Just making plans for the wedding.
00:19:21Aw, how sweet.
00:19:24Yeah, because it is only a week away, right?
00:19:29Okay, well, if we don't find Lee before then, then we'll just wait outside Edendale registry office.
00:19:35What is it? 3.30. It's my casual, yeah?
00:19:38It's not fair, you lot chasing him down. He's done nothing wrong.
00:19:42I just want to ask him what's been going on at the Kirkham House.
00:19:45Oh, I can tell you that for free. Lee went to work, then came home. End of.
00:19:51So you don't think he showed any interest in Laura, no?
00:19:55Of course not. She's a kid.
00:19:57Actually, no, she is 16.
00:20:02Oh, no, it is not like that anymore.
00:20:07Oh, and one final thing.
00:20:12Does Lee still have those tattoos of his exes?
00:20:15What was it? Frankie and Randy.
00:20:19Only I am going to have to update the PNC file.
00:20:25Get out.
00:20:27Are you coming to the round for a bit?
00:20:41Well, I'd love to, but I spent the day hacking underground and running down back alleys.
00:20:46I deserve a long bath.
00:20:48Fair enough.
00:20:49But I have no clairs correctly, no?
00:20:52Right.
00:20:53No!
00:20:55I'm here.
00:20:56Okay.
00:21:26Did I catch you napping?
00:21:39Hardly. I've got a bladder full of double espresso.
00:21:42Did you notice the whole street's got reefs up?
00:21:44Yeah, what's the occasion?
00:21:46Not occasion. It's for protection against the Black Dog.
00:21:50The locals are saying it's on the loose and Laura Kirkham's the first victim.
00:21:54I don't think she was killed by a myth.
00:21:57Forensics have proven she died from a blow to the back of the head.
00:22:00Yeah, we know that, but it doesn't stop people believing, does it?
00:22:08What's up?
00:22:09It's Ellen, Harry Dickinson's niece.
00:22:13We randomly went to school together.
00:22:15Was it about the case?
00:22:16No, she's seen him want to meet up for a drink.
00:22:20I take it she's single?
00:22:23Recently divorced.
00:22:24So what are you waiting for?
00:22:25Don't know if I could be bothered with, you know what I mean, starting something up.
00:22:29Ben, it's a drink, not a marriage proposal.
00:22:32Just go and have a laugh.
00:22:35Alright.
00:22:37I will take your advice.
00:22:39There we go, sent.
00:22:42Good.
00:22:42I'm happy for you.
00:22:45If you get lucky, I don't want to hear about it.
00:22:47That gentleman never tells.
00:22:49You certainly don't.
00:22:50That's because there's nothing to tell.
00:22:53It's just that you freak out any time you get a text, that's all.
00:22:55Obviously, somebody's trying to get hold of you.
00:22:57All you need to know is I was seeing a guy in Leeds.
00:23:00It got messy and moved here.
00:23:03The end.
00:23:04I'm here if you ever want to talk.
00:23:06Oh, look.
00:23:09Lee ain't going to come back here, so who else would take him in?
00:23:12No, he's not going to go to his mum's either.
00:23:14She booted him out when he was 15.
00:23:15She's sick of the police knocking on all the time.
00:23:18What about his dad?
00:23:19Hmm.
00:23:20Connor Bateman is currently serving time at HMP Full Sutton.
00:23:25For GBH and Common Assault.
00:23:27Nice guy.
00:23:28Like father-like son.
00:23:29Hmm.
00:23:30Lee's apprenticeship started young.
00:23:32He was five years old when Connor used to take him poaching on the estate.
00:23:36They would hide out in the forest.
00:23:41Oh, are you thinking Lee's going to visit his dad in prison?
00:23:44No, but I'm thinking he might have gone back to his roots.
00:23:54There's a hut in these woods where Connor and Lee used to hide out until it got dark.
00:24:02Okay, so we wait here for backup?
00:24:05It's literally 100 metres down that track.
00:24:08Remember what Hitchin said?
00:24:10There's no point calling the cavalry if Lee's not there, is there?
00:24:13Cooper!
00:24:16Cooper!
00:24:16Cooper!
00:24:24Cooper!
00:24:25Cooper!
00:24:26Cooper!
00:24:27Cooper!

00:26:26Gun!
00:26:27Peter!
00:26:29Gun!
00:26:30Bill!
00:26:32Let's go.
00:26:36I said gun, you idiot!
00:26:37Why could she have the bird scare off?
00:26:47I SAID GUN, YOU IDIOT!
00:26:50I thought it was just a bird scarer!
00:26:52I'm arresting you for attempted murder of a police officer!
00:26:54I didn't know he was police! I was just warning him off!
00:26:56Cooper, are you okay?
00:26:58Cooper, are you okay?
00:27:00Yeah, yeah, I think so.
00:27:02Hey, then you can walk yourself back to the car.
00:27:10So, at no point did you think to call for backup?
00:27:13We did, sir, but we couldn't get a signal.
00:27:15And there was no intel to suggest that he was armed, sir.
00:27:18And what was with heroics, Ben?
00:27:20You're both lucky to be alive!
00:27:23I'll write you down, sir.
00:27:26Diane, go with Todd and interview me.
00:27:29Sir.
00:27:36It was hard enough losing your dad.
00:27:39We don't want to lose you as well.
00:27:41Go out, Ben. Get some rest.
00:27:47I hope you give these things a proper boy wash.
00:27:50I don't want to be around something a rapist has been sweating in.
00:27:54Disgusting.
00:27:57Don't worry, Lee.
00:27:58They're brand new out the packet.
00:28:00Yeah, right.
00:28:02Okay.
00:28:04Let's talk about Nora Kirkham, yeah?
00:28:07You know, you were caught smoking weed.
00:28:09Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:28:10Let me stop you there before you get too excited.
00:28:13Yeah?
00:28:15The only question I'm going to answer is,
00:28:17how do you like your tea, Mr Bateman?
00:28:21Build a shrink for a splash of milk and four sugars.
00:28:24Now, if you don't mind, I've got some sleep to catch up on.
00:28:29Couldn't get a wink last night.
00:28:31They've been making a wink last night.
00:29:01Here we are.
00:29:14Bar snacks included in the apology.
00:29:16Help yourself.
00:29:20Are you OK?
00:29:25It's just been five years, so five years and it's still not closer to...
00:29:31to solve it, so they're not knowing.
00:29:35It's away at you.
00:29:38One thing I know is I can't do this for another five years.
00:29:44Can I ask what happened?
00:29:47Everyone has a different theory.
00:29:49Hitchens thought he'd driven past and interrupted a burglary.
00:29:53Ellen thought he was some out-of-town drug thing.
00:29:55But I know...
00:29:57I know somebody in Eden didn't know something.
00:30:01Nobody's talking.
00:30:02What about forensics?
00:30:03Nothing.
00:30:04No fibres, no DNA.
00:30:06And I'm conscious that the longer this goes on,
00:30:09the less likely we are to solve the case.
00:30:12And I feel like I'm letting him down.
00:30:16I need to get justice for him.
00:30:19Why don't you step away?
00:30:20I mean, just for a little while.
00:30:22Give up?
00:30:22No way.
00:30:23Ben, you nearly got yourself killed today.
00:30:26Carry on like that and you won't even be around to get justice for your dad.
00:30:29It is what it is.
00:30:35Can I come on Saturday?
00:30:38Pay my respects.
00:30:40I'd like that very much.
00:30:44Cheers.
00:30:46Cheers.
00:30:46Cheers.
00:30:47Hello, Mr Kirkham.
00:31:02Thanks for seeing us.
00:31:03We just wanted to ask you a few questions about Lee Bateman.
00:31:07Has he been charged with murder yet?
00:31:08Er, no.
00:31:09We don't have enough to charge him with yet.
00:31:11That's why we're here.
00:31:13Mr Kirkham, why did you decide to hire Lee in the first place?
00:31:18I didn't.
00:31:20Well, Charlotte did.
00:31:22She put an advert in the local paper for a gardener when I was away in business when I come back.
00:31:27There he was.
00:31:28And when you caught Lee talking with Laura, you sent him to work away from the house, is that right?
00:31:33I told him that I wanted the plague storm from Ravenside digging up and bringing back here.
00:31:37I thought it'd look particularly nice in the back of my garden.
00:31:40I know Charlotte's gone way half a ton.
00:31:42Do you seriously believe Lee was going to roll it down here on his own?
00:31:45I knew it was an impossible task.
00:31:48Then why ask him to do it?
00:31:50To remind him he was in charge.
00:31:53Anyway, I fired him a week later.
00:31:56Has Lee been back to the estate since?
00:32:00And his staff here seen him come back onto the property?
00:32:02No.
00:32:03I think he took my final warning very seriously.
00:32:08What did you say to him?
00:32:11Trespassers will be shot.
00:32:17Not exactly the grieving father, is it?
00:32:19No.
00:32:20And he's hell-bent on putting the blame on Lee Bateman.
00:32:22Listen, if there is more going on between those two than Dominic's letting on, I know him.
00:32:26Right, I'll tell the boss that we need to find that plague storm.
00:32:29He's in the woods, so we need to get the area searched.
00:32:31In the meantime, we'll go and ask Harry Dickinson if he saw Lee creeping back onto the estate to meet up with Laura.
00:32:37Yeah?
00:32:37Yeah.
00:32:38Go.
00:32:39Hi, Helen.
00:32:54Hello.
00:32:54Wasn't expecting to see you till tomorrow.
00:32:56I just had a few questions for Harry.
00:32:58This is DC down fry.
00:33:01He's over at Sam Beely's place.
00:33:03The two of them spent a lot of time together since his wife died.
00:33:06That's nice.
00:33:08Now, we're never good at making stuff like that.
00:33:10It's not for decoration.
00:33:12I know.
00:33:13Protection from the black dog, right?
00:33:16Ben told me the story.
00:33:17It sounds to me like the medieval folk had a serious fox problem.
00:33:21Really?
00:33:22What about all the babies being taken from their beds?
00:33:24I'm guessing the black dog was a good cover-up story for infanticide.
00:33:28Right, well, thank you, Helen.
00:33:29DC Fry, you're new to Edendale, aren't you?
00:33:32Yeah.
00:33:33And it's very different to what I'm used to.
00:33:35I think you should spend a night alone in the woods at Ravenside.
00:33:39And what would be the point in that?
00:33:41Because when you start to hear the trees whispering your name, and the shadows start to change shape,
00:33:45you'll realise just how different things really are here.
00:33:48Right, well, we won't keep you any longer.
00:33:52Bye, Ben.
00:33:54See you tomorrow.
00:33:58What is wrong with you?
00:34:00What?
00:34:01It was a healthy debate, science versus superstition.
00:34:04When are you going to realise that people don't have to justify their beliefs to you?
00:34:07Take people as they come, otherwise no one is going to talk to you.
00:34:09Excuse me, Mr. Beely?
00:34:29You are Sam Beely, correct?
00:34:31I'm Detective Cooper, this is Detective Fry.
00:34:36Looking for Harry?
00:34:38Just getting washed up.
00:34:41Your hand's all right?
00:34:43Chicken's got diseased.
00:34:44We've just been hurrying things along a bit.
00:34:48What?
00:34:49By wringing their necks?
00:34:51You've got a better way to put them out of the misery.
00:34:54Harry, you're in trouble with the law.
00:34:56Mr. Dickinson just wanted to talk to you about Lee Bateman.
00:34:59Well, you've not seen him on the estate this week, have you?
00:35:01No.
00:35:03Oh.
00:35:04What about in the woods at Ravenside this Sunday evening?
00:35:08I've already told you.
00:35:10I've seen no one in there.
00:35:11That's black dog territory now.
00:35:14If you're stupid, it'll be up there after dark.
00:35:19What about the Kirkham's house?
00:35:22I wouldn't know, because I'm never near it.
00:35:24If it's a problem with the estate, I'll leave Dominic a message on his phone.
00:35:30Okay.
00:35:35Look at these two.
00:35:37Bloody clueless.
00:35:38They can't have you coming all this way for nothing.
00:35:40Why don't you go up the barn?
00:35:42Help yourself to a couple of chickens.
00:35:43I thought you said they were diseased?
00:35:45You're not a fuss-putter, are you, Detective?
00:35:46You live near Ravenside, don't you, Mr. Beely?
00:35:54Didn't see Lee or Laura there this Sunday evening?
00:35:57I was in bed by sunset, reading me Bible.
00:36:00This is a murder investigation, gentlemen.
00:36:04It's a serious business.
00:36:06Then why asking him stupid bloody questions?
00:36:08Did he see Lee in Ravenside?
00:36:10There's 15 acres of trees.
00:36:12Your dad would be disappointed to see you, lad.
00:36:14Making an ash of it.
00:36:17You knew him?
00:36:18Aye.
00:36:18I met Joe Cooper a couple of times.
00:36:21He knew how to talk to country folk.
00:36:23Had a way about him.
00:36:24He'd have sought this murder in no time.
00:36:54What's the story, Trace?
00:37:18Oh, hey.
00:37:19OK.
00:37:19So, we have recovered cigarette butts here,
00:37:25but we found a used condom on the altar,
00:37:29so we've marked that urgent and sent it to the lab.
00:37:32Right?
00:37:33This is the stone Dominic has Lee to take down to the house.
00:37:37He didn't move it very far, did he?
00:37:39At least he didn't cause any damage.
00:37:41Oh, but he has.
00:37:42He's unleashed the black dog.
00:37:45Harry Dickinson told me that they placed the stone
00:37:47on top of the black dog to trap it under the earth
00:37:50and stop it coming into the village.
00:37:52Why does everything in Edendale have a story
00:37:55or a legend attached to it?
00:37:56Why can't a stone just be a stone?
00:38:03Let's get started, shall we?
00:38:05We visited the church ruins.
00:38:07It's a nice, a good spot.
00:38:09So no one can see what you're up to.
00:38:11You've been having a lot of fun up there, haven't you?
00:38:13But with a 16-year-old girl, shame on you.
00:38:18You don't know what you're talking about, mate.
00:38:20Okay.
00:38:21Now, we're thinking you targeted Laura,
00:38:24just like you've done before with other schoolgirls.
00:38:28Laura's father told us that he caught you
00:38:32and his daughter getting high on drugs you supplied.
00:38:35Laura's now dead.
00:38:38How do you think that's going to look to a jury?
00:38:40Look, she wouldn't leave me alone.
00:38:42Right?
00:38:43She always wanted to talk to me.
00:38:45Go on.
00:38:46She said she wanted to escape her house
00:38:47and needed my help to do it.
00:38:49She asked me to be for her dad.
00:38:50I don't know.
00:38:51I don't know, because I wasn't interested.
00:38:52I'm a bit confused, Lee.
00:38:54On the one hand, you're saying
00:38:55you didn't want Laura anywhere near you.
00:38:57But you were all found smoking weed together.
00:39:02Look, I had no choice.
00:39:05Yeah?
00:39:06She told me if I didn't keep bringing it,
00:39:08she would tell her dad I was stealing stuff from the house
00:39:10and I'd lose my job.
00:39:12She is not as innocent as she looks, that one.
00:39:15She had the makers of a real hustler.
00:39:17Right, well, we've got a problem, Lee.
00:39:20Because we believe you and Laura met up at the church ruins.
00:39:24This is some evidence we found up there.
00:39:27You're a big boy, you know what that is.
00:39:29It's a condom.
00:39:30Which leads me to think
00:39:32getting high with Laura
00:39:33was not the only thing you were doing up there.
00:39:36Right, so all it takes is a DNA test
00:39:39and we can find out who these belong to.
00:39:42No comment.
00:39:45No comment, okay.
00:39:46Well, maybe we should go see Gemma,
00:39:48see if she wants to make a comment.
00:39:49Well, Gemma doesn't need to know what's been going on, does she?
00:39:52Not unless you start talking, Lee.
00:39:53Right, yeah.
00:39:58Yeah, I did see someone at the church.
00:40:01We both knew it was stupid and dangerous, but
00:40:04it was just a hook-up, no strings.
00:40:09Who was this someone and
00:40:10well, what do you mean by it was dangerous?
00:40:13In case the Lord of the Manor found out.
00:40:15She was worried what her husband might do.
00:40:18Hang on.
00:40:19Are you saying you were seeing Charlotte Kirkham?
00:40:21For fun, yeah.
00:40:24But I told her once I'm married, that's it.
00:40:26Show's over.
00:40:29Yeah.
00:40:30Not as perfect as they look, that Kirkham family, right?
00:40:33And neither are you, Lee.
00:40:35I know.
00:40:37But I'm trying to become better.
00:40:39And Gemma knows I've made mistakes,
00:40:42but she believes in me.
00:40:44But that woman is my future.
00:40:47And when I say my vows,
00:40:48I'm going to mean every single word.
00:40:51I'm afraid Dominic's in his office on a call.
00:41:15It's okay, um, we actually needed to speak to you about a private matter.
00:41:20Oh?
00:41:21Lee Bateman has told us he was meeting up with you in secret, at the church.
00:41:26He's lying.
00:41:29I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
00:41:31Well, look, we've found condoms in the church ruins.
00:41:35DNA tests will give us the answers we need.
00:41:38But you could help speed things up.
00:41:41Help us find Laura's killer.
00:41:44Charlotte, were you meeting up with Lee?
00:41:48We need to know the truth.
00:41:50Oh, yes.
00:41:57It's just a distraction.
00:41:59A distraction from what?
00:42:02Being trapped in this house.
00:42:05It may look impressive from the driveway,
00:42:07but once you're inside, it's like a bloody mausoleum.
00:42:11Well, why come here, then?
00:42:14Dominic wanted to buy somewhere he could renovate.
00:42:17Show off to his wealthy clients.
00:42:18Oh, it's fine for him.
00:42:20He gets to leave.
00:42:22Travel the world on business, but me?
00:42:25I'm left floating from room to room.
00:42:27Did Dominic know about you two?
00:42:30I'm sure he would have said something if he found out.
00:42:33What about Laura?
00:42:34Does she know?
00:42:38God, I hope not.
00:42:44It was me that let Lee into the house.
00:42:48Is she dead because of me?
00:42:51I mean, did I do this?
00:42:57I'm wondering if Laura knew about Lee and her mum having the affair.
00:43:01And what if she did?
00:43:03Well, maybe getting the weed out of Lee wasn't enough.
00:43:06Maybe she wanted more,
00:43:07so she threatened to tell Dominic about the affair until she got it.
00:43:10And Lee pushed back...
00:43:11hard.
00:43:12Hard.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:24Sarge, we need to speak to Lee again.
00:43:27Too late.
00:43:27He's walked.
00:43:29You what?
00:43:30He's out on bail.
00:43:31With strict instructions, checking what was three times a week,
00:43:34ordered not to leave Edendale.
00:43:35Yeah, apparently his solicitor made an emotional plea to the magistrate
00:43:39saying that, you know, Lee getting married this week
00:43:41was a sign he was turning his life around.
00:43:43Even though he tried to end mine.
00:43:45Who's Talit Kirkham's?
00:43:46Oh, you cowards.
00:44:03Dominic, I had the phone.
00:44:05What's happened?
00:44:09They've released Lee Bateman.
00:44:14How could that have happened?
00:44:16Dominic?
00:44:24Dominic?
00:44:26Dominic?
00:44:46Look, babes, I just got out.
00:44:55I'm so sorry for all this.
00:44:59I'll explain it all when I get home.
00:45:00I have no idea.
00:45:10I have my eyes.
00:45:12I am so sorry for you.
00:45:13But, I know what's it's a joke.
00:45:13I already get the letter.
00:45:14I don't care for you.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:19Crash investigators reckon the driver swerved across the road
00:45:48and hit Lee Bateman straight on.
00:45:50Could have been deliberate, could have been drunk.
00:45:53Any witnesses?
00:45:54None. We're going to have to wait for the reports and the tests to come back.
00:45:57When I told Dominic yesterday Lee was being released on bail,
00:46:00he was absolutely furious, saying we weren't doing our job properly.
00:46:02Who can blame him? Any parent would be.
00:46:05The question is, would he take matters into his own hands?
00:46:16Hey, Gemma. Can we come in, look?
00:46:18What's happened? Why are you being nice?
00:46:22Let's just go in and sit down first.
00:46:23No, hang on. You're not coming in here again. Just...
00:46:26Just tell me.
00:46:29Right, um...
00:46:31I'm afraid Lee has been in an accident and he has been killed.
00:46:40I'm sorry.
00:46:41I'm sorry.
00:46:41I'm sorry.
00:47:03Dominic's car's not in.
00:47:12We need to find him.
00:47:18Yes, Tracy?
00:47:20Yeah, forensics have found secret tracking software embedded on Laura's phone connected to Dominic's.
00:47:26So he was tracking her all the time.
00:47:28Cheers, Tress.
00:47:29What?
00:47:29Turns out the phone Dominic got Laura had tracking software on it.
00:47:33It's normal for parents to want to know where their kids are.
00:47:36No, not like an app you download.
00:47:38This is secret software embedded into the phone.
00:47:40She didn't know about it.
00:47:42Maybe Lee were right about Laura having a dark side and old Dominic knew that too.
00:47:46Laura left her phone behind Sunday afternoon, yeah?
00:47:48Which was strange.
00:47:49What if she knew Dominic was tracking her movements and that's why she left it in her room?
00:47:53She could have been anywhere.
00:47:54Yeah, doing what?
00:47:59Lee Bittman was killed in a hit-and-run incident yesterday afternoon.
00:48:13Do you know when Dominic's coming back?
00:48:16You think Dominic was involved?
00:48:18We just need to track his movements at this point.
00:48:22Christ.
00:48:22He left soon after you called yesterday.
00:48:29We also need to talk to you about Laura's phone.
00:48:32Apparently there's a secret tracking software that's been installed on it.
00:48:38Directly linked to Dominic's phone.
00:48:39Why would you need to track Laura?
00:48:43To make sure that she was set home, studying.
00:48:46Did he have reason to believe that she wouldn't be?
00:48:51Charlotte, we're starting to think that there might have been a different side to Laura.
00:48:54A side that you and Dominic are keen to hide from us.
00:48:57Who was she?
00:49:00Really?
00:49:00Really?
00:49:00I loved her with all my heart.
00:49:09But God, she didn't make it easy.
00:49:12But there was a wild streak running through her.
00:49:16Dominic convinced me Laura would be best suited to a private school.
00:49:20Somewhere with strong discipline.
00:49:23Strict rules.
00:49:23So I agreed to send her off.
00:49:28She seemed to be settling in quickly.
00:49:30We thought finally.
00:49:33We found a solution.
00:49:36But then two months ago we got a call from the school telling us to pick her up immediately.
00:49:40What happened?
00:49:42Laura broke a curfew.
00:49:44Turns out she'd been climbing over the wall in the middle of the night to meet a boy in town.
00:49:50Dominic was mortified.
00:49:52He sent her to a local school.
00:49:54Made sure she was picked up as soon as it was finished.
00:49:57And put her straight back here.
00:50:00So that's why she had no social life, no friends.
00:50:05Dominic wouldn't allow it.
00:50:08Look, this tracking app.
00:50:13Isolating her from other teenagers.
00:50:15It was...
00:50:16It was his way of saving Laura from herself.
00:50:21Do you really believe that?
00:50:23He's back.
00:50:30Mr Kirkham.
00:50:45What now?
00:50:48Mr Kirkham, you're under arrest for the murder of Lee Bateman.
00:50:51You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
00:50:54Are you serious?
00:50:55Pray tell.
00:50:56We can talk about it down at the station.
00:50:58It may harm your defence if you do not mention one question.
00:51:06It's simply...
00:51:07You drove to Birmingham yesterday evening, Mr Kirkham, correct?
00:51:18Yeah.
00:51:19What route did you take?
00:51:20Who am I sat and I've suggested?
00:51:23Didn't travel along the Bulma Road.
00:51:26But do you know a quick way?
00:51:28Lee Bateman was hit by a car along that road last night.
00:51:31He died of his injuries.
00:51:33That's unfortunate.
00:51:36It's coincidental.
00:51:38Because when I called you yesterday to tell you Lee was being released without charge,
00:51:42you were furious.
00:51:43You said we were putting a child killer back on the streets.
00:51:46I'm guessing now he's dead, Edendale can breathe a sigh of relief.
00:51:49Did you go looking for Lee after that call?
00:51:52Course not.
00:51:52I can't stand being anywhere near that, man.
00:51:57Perhaps there was another reason you hated Lee Bateman.
00:52:00What are you getting at?
00:52:02Well, we know that you were secretly tracking Laura's movements on her phone.
00:52:08Were you spying on Charlotte too?
00:52:11Because if you were, you would have noticed that she went to the church ruins whenever you left the house.
00:52:15Look, I'm not stupid detectives.
00:52:18I knew Charlotte was having an affair with Lee Bateman.
00:52:30Well, why didn't you confront her about it, then?
00:52:32The scandal coming out is worse than the crime itself.
00:52:34I thought if Charlotte was being discreet, then I could turn a blind eye.
00:52:38Appearances do mean everything to you, don't they?
00:52:40We believe what we see, eh?
00:52:43And what about that fresh-looking dent in your bumper?
00:52:45We notice it when you arrive back.
00:52:48Yeah, that.
00:52:50I, er...
00:52:51I swerved to miss a day when I was driving out of the house yesterday evening.
00:52:55Are you sure you didn't swerve to hit something else?
00:52:58Or someone else?
00:53:08No comment.
00:53:11Dominic didn't flinch when we told him Lee Bateman was dead.
00:53:14He also said he knew about Charlotte's affair taking place right under his nose, but claimed he was happy to turn a blind eye.
00:53:20And the dentist's car said he swerved to Mr. Deer.
00:53:23Harry Dickinson said there's loads of them on the estate.
00:53:25When can we expect results from soccer?
00:53:28They're doing the test now, sir, so we should have something tomorrow.
00:53:31Great.
00:53:32Stay on.
00:53:34Mum, I'm at work.
00:53:36You all right?
00:53:38Right, wait there.
00:53:39Wait there.
00:53:40You hold the fort?
00:53:42Yeah.
00:53:43You OK?
00:53:43Yeah, good.
00:53:44Won't be long.
00:53:50Mum?
00:53:53You told me it was an emergency.
00:53:55I thought you'd fallen down the stairs again.
00:53:58I'm not mad, Doddry.
00:54:01The cards have spoken.
00:54:03Jesus.
00:54:06See?
00:54:06No, Mum, I don't say.
00:54:11Money and treason.
00:54:14Your father was murdered over bad money.
00:54:17Gambling.
00:54:18Mum, Dad never gambled.
00:54:19I'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.
00:54:26I can't use tarot cards to steer an investigation.
00:54:30But this is the clearest message we've ever had.
00:54:33It's been five years, almost to the day, and nothing has happened.
00:54:37You need all the help you can get.
00:54:39You think I don't know that?
00:54:42Look, I'm sorry, love.
00:54:44I'm sure you're trying as hard as you can.
00:54:47I've got to go back to work.
00:54:49Did you ask Diane about coming on Saturday?
00:54:52I did.
00:54:53She is.
00:54:54Why?
00:54:55Tell her I have an urgent message for her and all.
00:55:02Can I get a large housewife, please?
00:55:06And sat there.
00:55:07Sure thing.
00:55:11All right?
00:55:12Hiya.
00:55:14How was your mum?
00:55:15Uh, this anniversary's got her all stirred up.
00:55:19She'll be all right after Saturday.
00:55:21It's good to hear.
00:55:22She believes you're coming.
00:55:23Really?
00:55:24Mm-hmm.
00:55:25She's got a special message for you.
00:55:27I've had enough of her special messages, thank you.
00:55:30Oh, hey.
00:55:32Tracy.
00:55:33Do you want to join us?
00:55:34But it is a work freeze.
00:55:35I'm...
00:55:35Oh, no.
00:55:36I've had my glass already.
00:55:37Um, there was a fella in here earlier looking for you.
00:55:40When?
00:55:41About an hour ago.
00:55:43Very handsome.
00:55:44Forties.
00:55:44Tailored suit.
00:55:46Uh, what did you tell him?
00:55:47Well, just so that you'd be in later, and then he went.
00:55:51You want to tell us who this fella is?
00:55:53No.
00:55:55I'm all right.
00:55:56See you both tomorrow.
00:55:57Yeah, hiya.
00:56:02I take it this is the gentleman you left behind, Elite?
00:56:05Yeah.
00:56:07And he's the reason you came to Edendale?
00:56:10Something I can't handle.
00:56:12Right.
00:56:13Well, if you want to feel a bit safer, I've got a spare room at my house.
00:56:16You're welcome to get there for a few nights.
00:56:19Thank you, but, um...
00:56:22I'll be okay.
00:56:23See you soon.
00:56:24Here we go.
00:56:54Here we go.
00:57:24Here we go.
00:57:54Here we go.

00:59:06Here we go.
00:59:07Here we go.
00:59:08Here we go.
00:59:09She's a big one.
00:59:10Look like you're still in the same clothes.
00:59:27Have you even been home.
00:59:28There's something I can't handle remember.
00:59:29You brought it, then.
00:59:35I was thinking, on the way here,
00:59:38we could set the sheep free in the woods,
00:59:43let them fend for themselves.
00:59:45You can't live on pine cones and leaves, Harry.
00:59:48This is the kindest way.
00:59:51You don't have to do it with me.
00:59:53Hello again, Mr. Beely.
00:59:56What do these two want?
00:59:57Hello, Mr. Dickinson.
00:59:59Helen said you were here again.
01:00:01Aye, still helping Sam sort things out.
01:00:04Dare I ask what you're up to today?
01:00:07We're slaughtering the sheep.
01:00:09Don't worry, we're not going to strangle them.
01:00:13You're not joking?
01:00:15Can't look after them anymore.
01:00:17You're shutting down the smallholding?
01:00:19No choice.
01:00:20Can barely tip a bag of feed these days.
01:00:22I see.
01:00:23I mean, I noticed the walking stick.
01:00:25I've the Goldstone Company to thank for that.
01:00:27That's the mining company, isn't it?
01:00:30We were the only survivors when the whole thing collapsed in June of 92.
01:00:34Five days we were trapped down there in the dark.
01:00:36I remember.
01:00:37A dozen men died.
01:00:38Oh, this fellow here saved my life.
01:00:42Feeding me water from his hands.
01:00:43All right, well, um, we've got some more questions to ask you about Sunday evening.
01:00:51Obviously, when Laura was murdered, I've got a witness who said they saw her dog running loose through the woods.
01:00:55Can't have been, Jess.
01:00:57She never leaves my side.
01:00:59I were.
01:01:00Where is she then?
01:01:02Home.
01:01:03In a basket.
01:01:04Turned herself inside out last night.
01:01:06You were right about not eating those chickens.
01:01:09So you weren't at Ravensside on Sunday evening?
01:01:12You're beginning to annoy me more than a bloody horsefly.
01:01:16I'm just asking for your help with a murder investigation.
01:01:18That's all, Harry.
01:01:19It's not too much to ask.
01:01:20Well, I feel bad about what happened to that girl.
01:01:23I'm quite happy that Dominic Kirkham goes through as much hell as possible.
01:01:27Now get the pair of you.
01:01:30Leave me be.
01:01:31Come on.
01:01:36When we've killed the sheep, we're going to burn them.
01:01:39Want to stay around for a bit of lamb shank?
01:01:47I wonder what Harry's got against Dominic Kirkham.
01:01:50Well, I doubt he'll ever tell us.
01:01:53You could always go and ask Helen.
01:01:55Quite the first date I had in mind.
01:01:57So you reschedule our drink and then turn up again out of the blue?
01:02:08I know, I know.
01:02:09I'm sorry for messing you about, Helen.
01:02:11I just, um...
01:02:12If it's okay, I just had a question to ask you about your Uncle Harry.
01:02:16Is it to do with the investigation?
01:02:18I'm not sure yet.
01:02:19Maybe.
01:02:21All right.
01:02:21So it's safe to say that your Uncle Harry
01:02:23is definitely not a fan of Dominic Kirkham.
01:02:26Is there a reason for that?
01:02:28Did something happen between the two of them?
01:02:30Don't you find anyone around here with a good word to say about them?
01:02:32That's not what I asked, Helen.
01:02:37Listen, I just need to find a background on this guy.
01:02:40Anything that's going to help us solve Laura's murder.
01:02:44It happened months ago.
01:02:48Dominic called me up one afternoon
01:02:49asking if I'd come over to the estate
01:02:51and give Laura some private riding lessons.
01:02:52She was a lovely girl, Laura.
01:02:55Feel funny, smart.
01:02:57Tear away a look in her eye.
01:02:58Yeah, that's what people have said.
01:03:01I was only teaching her for a few weeks
01:03:04when Dominic organised this big garden party
01:03:07for all his clients.
01:03:09He said he wanted Laura to ride in on the horse
01:03:11just so we could show her off to all his guests.
01:03:14And you told him no?
01:03:15Absolutely.
01:03:17If that horse wasn't used to big crowds of people
01:03:19it would have gotten spooked and thrown Laura off.
01:03:22Of course Dominic didn't like me saying no
01:03:23but I stood my ground
01:03:25told Laura to dismount
01:03:26then he just slapped me
01:03:28right in front of her.
01:03:30Jesus Christ.
01:03:32Uncle Harry came home
01:03:33saw the welt coming up across my cheek
01:03:35and he grabbed his gun
01:03:37and said he was going to shoot off his kneecaps.
01:03:38I talked him out of it
01:03:41obviously.
01:03:43But I don't understand
01:03:43why would Harry keep on working for Dominic
01:03:45if he's done this to you?
01:03:47Dominic guns all the cottages on the estate.
01:03:50If I made a formal complaint against him
01:03:52he'd fire my uncle
01:03:53and make him homeless the same day.
01:03:55In the end
01:03:56I convinced Harry
01:03:58that he serves the land
01:03:59not the owner
01:04:00and we just
01:04:00put it to bed.
01:04:03Well I appreciate you telling me all this
01:04:05I know it can't have been easy.
01:04:07Do you know what?
01:04:08It actually feels good
01:04:09to have family told someone.
01:04:11Listen
01:04:11do you want me to take this any further
01:04:13I can call him in?
01:04:14No.
01:04:14No I don't.
01:04:15What's done is done.
01:04:16One thing I do regret though
01:04:17about not coming forward
01:04:19is that
01:04:20I let Dominic get away with it.
01:04:24I'm sure I'm not the first person
01:04:25to be on the receiving end of his anger.
01:04:29You didn't ever see him hit Laura
01:04:30did you?
01:04:32She kept away from him
01:04:33as much as possible
01:04:34so
01:04:35make her that what you will.
01:04:36When we spoke yesterday
01:04:43Mr Kirkham
01:04:44you agreed with me
01:04:46when I said
01:04:47appearances mean everything
01:04:48like the portraits
01:04:49in your hallway
01:04:50everyone's smiling
01:04:51Laura looks happy
01:04:53but I suppose
01:04:55it's all just
01:04:56part of the illusion
01:04:57isn't it?
01:04:57I have no idea
01:04:57what you're talking about.
01:04:59We know Laura
01:05:00was rebelling against you
01:05:01expelled from an expensive
01:05:02private school
01:05:03smoking with a gardener.
01:05:05Which is why she needed
01:05:06firm parenting and strong boundaries.
01:05:08On that Sunday
01:05:09you found Laura's phone
01:05:10in her bedroom.
01:05:11Correct.
01:05:12And that's when you realised
01:05:13she'd tricked you
01:05:13making you think
01:05:14she was at home study
01:05:15when in actual fact
01:05:15she'd left the house
01:05:16so she wasn't doing
01:05:17what she was told.
01:05:18Now I think
01:05:18before you phoned the police
01:05:19to say that Laura's missing
01:05:20you did find her
01:05:22and because all your
01:05:23previous attempts
01:05:24to try and control
01:05:24her behaviour had failed
01:05:26you lost your temper
01:05:27and you swung her
01:05:28hitting her in the back
01:05:29of the head.
01:05:29This is bullshit
01:05:29I never laid a finger
01:05:31on her.
01:05:31You've no idea
01:05:32the sacrifices I made
01:05:33for that girl
01:05:34and her mother.
01:05:35What sacrifices Dominic?
01:05:36Well where do you
01:05:36want me to start?
01:05:39When I first met
01:05:41Charlotte
01:05:42she was stuck
01:05:45in a toxic relationship.
01:05:47Pretty awful man.
01:05:49So I took her
01:05:50and Laura in
01:05:51I raised her
01:05:52as my own
01:05:53I gave them
01:05:53everything that they
01:05:54could want in this world
01:05:55and what did I get in return?
01:05:57Infidelity
01:05:58and damn right disobedience.
01:05:59You're not
01:06:00Laura's real father.
01:06:03No.
01:06:06No I'm not.
01:06:08I
01:06:08tried to love Laura
01:06:10as if she was my own
01:06:11and she resisted
01:06:14and rejected that love
01:06:15with every fibre
01:06:16of her being.
01:06:22Dominic
01:06:22always referred to Laura
01:06:23as
01:06:24my daughter.
01:06:26I think being a stepdad
01:06:27doesn't fit in
01:06:28with Dominic's vision
01:06:29of the perfect family.
01:06:30We kept it quiet.
01:06:32And unfortunately
01:06:33as we all know
01:06:34stepfathers
01:06:35are more likely
01:06:36to kill children
01:06:37than actual fathers.
01:06:38Yeah we had
01:06:39the same alarm bells ringing.
01:06:41Boss
01:06:41we've just had
01:06:42more forensics
01:06:44in from the crash investigators.
01:06:45I'm calling it.
01:06:47Final mail
01:06:48for Dominic Kirkham.
01:06:49It's the opposite
01:06:49I'm afraid.
01:06:50They found red
01:06:51metallic car paint
01:06:53on Lee's clothing.
01:06:54Dominic's car's black.
01:06:55Yeah which means
01:06:56he can't be
01:06:57our hit and run driver.
01:07:00No but
01:07:01but Gemma Ward
01:07:02might be.
01:07:07Gemma!
01:07:08Police!
01:07:08come on Gemma
01:07:22open up!
01:07:23Lee called
01:07:39Miss Annie.
01:07:39Lee called me saying he was out on bail and wanted picking up on Bulma Road.
01:07:57I grabbed my keys, went off to get him.
01:08:01I was speeding all the way there because I didn't want him waiting.
01:08:06Then I see him up ahead.
01:08:10And I knew if I let him get in the car, he'd lay it on thick with excuses and promises trying to win me over.
01:08:20I couldn't give him that chance.
01:08:23He didn't deserve another one.
01:08:29So, instead of slowing down, I sped up.
01:08:37He aimed right for him.
01:08:43My mum didn't want me to marry Lee.
01:08:47Said he brought out the worst in everyone.
01:08:49She was right.
01:08:56So what happens with Dominic now?
01:08:59We have to let him go, pending further inquiries.
01:09:02Unless anything came up when you spoke to Helen Miller.
01:09:08There was something, sir.
01:09:11Dominic assaulted Helen at his stables a few months ago.
01:09:14Struck her across the face.
01:09:16Harry Dickinson found out and Helen managed to convince him to keep quiet.
01:09:20As you can imagine, he wasn't a happy man.
01:09:21What are you going to tell us?
01:09:26Right, this proves Dominic has a violent disposition, yeah?
01:09:29Well, this is new information we can't use.
01:09:32Why not?
01:09:33Because Helen wants to keep it in the past.
01:09:35Aren't you just convinced him to make a statement then?
01:09:37I'm not sure I can do that.
01:09:40You can't, you won't.
01:09:41I won't.
01:09:42It's a joke.
01:09:43Look, even if Helen did give a statement,
01:09:45he don't prove that Dominic laid the hand on Laura.
01:09:48I just think Harry Dickinson was lying about not being in the woods
01:09:51when Laura was murdered.
01:09:52And I don't think he'd let Dominic get away with hitting Helen.
01:09:55It's his niece.
01:09:57Do you think he attacked Laura out of revenge?
01:10:00Well, he knows more than he's letting on, put it that way.
01:10:03Why, that I speak to the roadkill cleaner.
01:10:04I mean, he was vague about the dog he saw in the woods.
01:10:06If he can prove that it was black,
01:10:08then we could put pressure on Harry to tell the truth.
01:10:11Yeah, and with your permission, sir,
01:10:13I'd like to dig a little bit deeper into him.
01:10:16All right.
01:10:23Did Lee ever mention anything about Harry Dickinson?
01:10:26He was a groundskeeper on the estate.
01:10:30Harry went mad at Lee for moving some old stone
01:10:32inside the church ribbons.
01:10:34Harry started to shove Lee about,
01:10:36so Lee threatened him with the sharp end of the spade.
01:10:40It was weird.
01:10:42This old man getting so upset about his stone.
01:10:45And I was like, it wasn't for a diga.
01:10:55You know, I was so mad.
01:10:57He was dead.
01:10:57I was so mad...
01:10:59Oh, yeah.
01:11:00I was so mad at him.
01:11:02I was so mad.
01:11:03I was so mad at him.
01:11:05I was so mad at her.
01:11:06I was so mad.
01:11:07I was so mad at him.
01:11:08I was so mad.
01:11:09No, that's helpful.
01:11:25So, what did the roadside junior say?
01:11:28The dog he saw in the woods was black and white.
01:11:33So not Harry Dickinson's then?
01:11:37Hmm.
01:11:39Hold on.
01:11:48Whose dog is that?
01:11:54Mr Kirkham, I need you to look at this photo.
01:11:56No, I'm done with all this.
01:11:57It might help find Laura's killer.
01:11:58Who does that dog belong to?
01:12:00The old gardener.
01:12:02He quit shortly after that fault was taken.
01:12:05He kept on banging on about this sacred stone.
01:12:07Who is he?
01:12:07My name's Sam Bailey.
01:12:11Sir, the dog in this photo belongs to Sam Bailey, ex-garden of Dominic Kirkham.
01:12:34I think it was this dog that the council worker saw running wild on Ravenside the night that Laura was murdered.
01:12:39And I think it was this dog that bit Laura.
01:12:41Not a fox or a badger.
01:12:43And does this mean that Harry Dickinson's not involved?
01:12:45No, I think Harry knew that it was Sam's dog who bit Laura.
01:12:47Apparently them two are closer than family since the mining accident.
01:12:50Let's arrest Harry Dickinson as I'm feeling.
01:12:52Sir.
01:12:53Sir.
01:12:54Sir.
01:12:55Sir.
01:12:56Sir.
01:12:57Sir.
01:12:58Sir.
01:12:59Sir.
01:13:00Sir.
01:13:01Sir.
01:13:02Sir.
01:13:03Sir.
01:13:04Sir.
01:13:05Sir.
01:13:06Sir.
01:13:07Sir.
01:13:08Sir.
01:13:09Sir.
01:13:10Sir.
01:13:11Sir.
01:13:12Sir.
01:13:13Sir.
01:13:14Sir.
01:13:15Sir.
01:13:16Sir.
01:13:17Sir.
01:13:18Sir.
01:13:19Sir.
01:13:20Easy, Ben Cooper.
01:13:50Ben, Ben!
01:14:20I know. I know. It's your home. I'm leaving.
01:14:50I'm leaving.
01:14:57I'm leaving.
01:15:05I'm leaving.
01:15:12Cooper?
01:15:27Cooper?
01:15:32Dave?
01:15:44It's me. It's me. It's me. What are you doing? I have been looking for you.
01:15:59I was following Sam, but then I heard you shouting. I've lost him.
01:16:02I know where he is.
01:16:03Where?
01:16:05He's gone to be with his wife. Read this.
01:16:29Sam.
01:16:36We've read Gillette, mate. We know everything.
01:16:39You're going to have to come to the station with us.
01:16:41My faith, this is how it has to end. Go back. You don't have to see this.
01:16:45Oh, Sam. Sam. You don't want to do that. Listen to me. Do you not think Laura's parents deserve to know what happened to her?
01:17:01Explain it to us, Sam.
01:17:05So a couple of weeks back, Harry told me that Young Lee had been down here and decided to move the stone back towards the house.
01:17:12I couldn't let that happen. So I come down Sunday afternoon to put it back in its place. This was where I sat with my wife, Ruth. Every day for nearly 20 years. This was like our special spot.
01:17:28We'd come here for our lunch. She cooked up in the kitchens of the house and I tended the garden. And we had like this little arrangement. She'd bring the sandwiches and I'd bring a joke I'd made up that morning. On a good day, her laugh would scare the birds out of the trees.
01:17:46It's been gone two years. It just feels like yesterday. I spread her ashes around the stone so I could still come here and be with her, you know, and share a joke.
01:18:00When I came down on Sunday, Laura was sat here smoking a cigarette. I told her to swing her up and let me move the stone back into place. She just laughed like I couldn't do it.
01:18:12She didn't realize what the stone meant. This is Ruth's last resting place. I shouted at Laura. I said some things I'm not proud of. She just flicked her cigarette into the weeds and walked away like this place was nothing.
01:18:27Connie went after her. It's what she's trained to do. Laura pushed her away. Connie didn't like that. Jumped up and bit her on the arm. Laura started screaming, going on about how she's gonna get Connie put down.
01:18:37And you lost your temper.
01:18:42I hit her on the back of the head with my stick.
01:18:46That's when she went running.
01:18:49Connie went after her. I tried to make things right. I went looking for her, but...
01:18:54I couldn't find her.
01:18:58Sammy, we hear you. We know you've lost everything. But you need to put that gun down.
01:19:05I just want to be with my wife.
01:19:21It's okay, son. It's okay.
01:19:25I just want to be with...
01:19:27Bye.
01:19:42Shush, Connie.
01:19:45You warmed up yet, Harry?
01:19:46It'll take a bit, lad. The cold from them woods goes in deep.
01:19:52When Sam came to see you late Sunday evening, after he'd killed Laura, why not get him to turn himself in?
01:19:58There were no way Sam could deal with being locked in a tiny prison cell.
01:20:05See, he became claustrophobic after the mining accident.
01:20:09Even sitting in here, he'd have to have the front door open in case he needed to escape.
01:20:13When he asked for my help to end things his way, I agreed.
01:20:23He saved my life. How could I say no?
01:20:27Fed you water from his hands.
01:20:30And how many friends would do that?
01:20:33No.
01:20:34You know you're going to have to answer for your part in all of this.
01:20:43I know, lad.
01:20:46One thing before we take you away.
01:20:49Why did you take me to see Laura's body?
01:20:52You lot were searching in the wrong bloody direction.
01:20:56I didn't want that young girl lying out in the woods any longer.
01:20:59I've seen what happens to a deer when it dies out there, when the animals and the insects take over.
01:21:06No one deserves that.
01:21:09Yeah.
01:21:13Right.
01:21:15Do with me what you will.
01:21:17What's going on?
01:21:19Nothing that can't be sorted, love.
01:21:23Harry Dickinson, I'm arresting you for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
01:21:27You 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.
01:21:40Listen, take Connie back to my cottage, will you?
01:21:43She'll be good company for Jess while I'm away.
01:21:45She'll be good company for Jess while I'm away.
01:22:15She'll be good company for Jess while I'm away.
01:22:16She'll be good company for Jess and her own way.
01:22:18She's rhetoric.
01:22:20I'm unknowing.
01:22:21Oh, yeah.
01:22:48Did you notice that they've taken the wreath down?
01:22:50All right, no more talk of the black dog, okay?
01:22:54Welcome back to 21st century.
01:22:55Hang on, hang on.
01:22:57I could have sworn you shouted out someone's name in the woods.
01:23:00Was Helen right with the trees whispering to you?
01:23:02No.
01:23:03No.
01:23:03But I actually have to admit it was creepy as hell.
01:23:05Look, I love a good horror, but I don't want to be your main character in one.
01:23:09What about me? I'm stuck in a rom-com nightmare.
01:23:11Boy meets girl, girl takes boy for walk, boy arrests girl's uncle,
01:23:15boy texts girl, girl ignores boy's text.
01:23:18Well, you don't have to be alone forever.
01:23:19Well, I'm not going on a date, you know, that's for sure.
01:23:22No.
01:23:23I was thinking of taking you up on the offer to kip over for a few nights.
01:23:26I just need a sofa.
01:23:27Ah, that's right. I made that offer, didn't I?
01:23:30You were just being polite. I could see it.
01:23:32Oh, no, it's fine. It's fine. You can stay.
01:23:33No, it's all right.
01:23:35No, you can stay.
01:23:36It's good to have company.
01:23:38No, I'd actually really appreciate it.
01:23:40Ah, that's fine.
01:23:41Cheers to black dogs, yeah?
01:23:43No.
01:23:44Okay.
01:23:50Right.
01:23:54Joe was one of the finest.
01:23:57He was a great officer.
01:24:00A great colleague.
01:24:01More importantly, he was a friend.
01:24:07A great husband.
01:24:09And a great father.
01:24:13And nothing was too much trouble for him.
01:24:16And no one, no one could make you laugh as hard.
01:24:20Do you remember the sheep in my office?
01:24:24In my damn jacket?
01:24:25Yeah.
01:24:29Here's two of you, Barrel.
01:24:35To Joe.
01:24:36God bless.
01:24:41To Joe.
01:24:50I miss you, Dad.
01:24:55Every day.
01:25:11I'm really glad you came.
01:25:14I've got a message for you, in fact.
01:25:15Oh, you don't have to do that right now.
01:25:18It's more of a warning, really.
01:25:20You're going to destroy someone you really love.
01:25:24Ruin their life forever.
01:25:26But it's not too late to change a path.
01:25:29I don't care what the cards say, Isabel.
01:25:32Cards can't lie, Diane.
01:25:34I mean, we can.
01:25:35To ourselves.
01:25:37They can't.
01:25:41Shall we make a move, Mum?
01:25:43Yes.
01:25:43Yes, loves.
01:25:44I'll catch up with you.
01:25:45All right.
01:25:45Yeah.
01:25:50All right.
01:25:52Yeah, fine.
01:25:53You?
01:25:54Yeah.
01:25:56A little more flowers last year.
01:25:59What was that?
01:26:00It's life, innit?
01:26:01People move on.
01:26:02People forget.
01:26:04Not the people that no one loved, Joe.
01:26:07They'd never forget.
01:26:08Homegrown, they're nice.
01:26:13Yeah, someone leaves them every year.
01:26:16Same flowers, same message.
01:26:18Always and forever.
01:26:22Look, thank you for inviting me, Ben.
01:26:24I just wish I had the chance to get to know him.
01:26:37Sorry, Dad.
01:26:41I've got to have to stop.
01:26:42I just wish I had the chance to get to know him.
01:27:00I don't know him.
01:27:03I don't know him.
01:27:09I don't know him.
