00:00:00Take us to buckle, to fall, to give in, but that ain't the way to bore the rats, ain't the way widens neither, never will be.
00:00:12They think they can bully us. They think they can push us around. They think we won't stand up for ourselves. There couldn't be more wrong.
00:00:30We're in a fight. A war. Not only to save a village, but to honour the past and protect our future.
00:01:00And I'm here to tell you that if and when first war to come for us, or anyone else for that matter, then we'll unleash the rats and they'll chew the flesh from anyone, anyone that dares challenge us.
00:01:26And if we go down, we go down fighting.
00:01:37I'm just here. Give us a call back.
00:01:45Alba, sofa, sofa, sofa, sofa, sofa, sofa, sofa.
00:01:53Oh, my God!
00:02:21Ben!
00:02:22Ben! Ben!
00:02:25What?
00:02:26The water's cold in the shower.
00:02:29And?
00:02:31Well, I need it hot.
00:02:33Have you let it run a bit?
00:02:34Yeah.
00:02:35Come on, quickly, cos I need to go to work.
00:02:39Right, OK, it's the boiler, the pressure's gone.
00:02:43It does it all the time, I'll sort it.
00:02:45How long's it gonna take?
00:02:46Give me a minute.
00:02:52Mmm, I've made breakfast. Out of the shelf.
00:02:56I'm actually a coffee and go girl.
00:02:58Oh, should've asked.
00:02:59Oh, hang on a sec, before I forget.
00:03:01Key to the kingdom.
00:03:03Don't lose them.
00:03:05It's Hitchens.
00:03:07Do you get the calls?
00:03:15OK, what do we have here?
00:03:18Who's that behind us?
00:03:20Someone's in a rush.
00:03:22Whoa, whoa.
00:03:23Get at me.
00:03:24Hey!
00:03:25Slow down, mate.
00:03:26Hey, stop!
00:03:27Stop!
00:03:28Stop!
00:03:29Stop!
00:03:30Whoa!
00:03:33What are you playing at?
00:03:34You nearly drove into a crime scene.
00:03:35I did.
00:03:36I didn't realise.
00:03:37What, you didn't see the police or the tape?
00:03:39What's your name?
00:03:40I'll just turn around.
00:03:41No, no, no.
00:03:42Name, please.
00:03:43It's Hebden.
00:03:44Michael Hebden.
00:03:45What are you doing up here, Mr Hebden?
00:03:46I'm on my way home from work.
00:03:48I thought I'd take a short put.
00:03:49Where do you work, Michael?
00:03:50What does that matter?
00:03:51Just answer the question.
00:03:52Up at Firth Water, the water company at Hope Valley.
00:03:57What's going on up here?
00:03:58I'll tell you what's going on.
00:03:59You're going to turn around and you're going to use the road like a normal person.
00:04:03Go on.
00:04:04Go on.
00:04:05Go on.
00:04:11Is he kidding?
00:04:12Listen, you're out in the sticks now, Diane.
00:04:14Roads are just a suggestion.
00:04:19Cheers, Pop.
00:04:20She always gets here before.
00:04:21How does she even do it?
00:04:22I don't know.
00:04:23Dr Taylor.
00:04:25Hello.
00:04:26A dog walker found him about an hour ago.
00:04:30Any idea?
00:04:32Cheers.
00:04:35Neil Goodwin, 23 years old with him.
00:04:38Time of death.
00:04:39As usual, the best I can offer is a rough estimate.
00:04:42Judging from the pallor and rigour, I'm pretty sure he's been here all night.
00:04:46And he made a weapon?
00:04:47GBC.
00:04:48But whatever it was, it was hard enough to shatter his skull.
00:04:51Maka Letson!
00:05:03You need first water out of women!
00:05:06Maka Letson!
00:05:07UTE first water out of women's.
00:05:10This is Neil's house.
00:05:29He's obviously a very passionate man.
00:05:34Clearly not a fan of first water.
00:05:36The door's open.
00:05:40Hello?
00:05:43Hello?
00:05:44Whoa, whoa, around the back, around the back!
00:05:47Stop! Police!
00:05:51Stop!
00:05:54Police!
00:05:58Right, do you want to tell me why a vicar is running from the police, pal?
00:06:04What are you playing at?
00:06:06I'm sorry.
00:06:07I'm Derek Alton. I'm the Reverend at St. Asaph's.
00:06:10What are you doing in Neil Goodwin's house?
00:06:12I thought I saw someone in here.
00:06:14I'm sorry I ran and you startled me.
00:06:17You didn't think it was Neil?
00:06:19Well, his car's not outside, so I got a bit worried.
00:06:22Sorry, but has something happened?
00:06:25I'm afraid Neil was found dead this morning.
00:06:30What?
00:06:34I only saw him yesterday.
00:06:37How? I mean, that can't be right.
00:06:40Unfortunately, it's true.
00:06:42Did you know Neil well, Mr. Alton?
00:06:47Um, no. Not especially.
00:06:51But you saw him yesterday?
00:06:53What time was that?
00:06:54Um, maybe around, uh, 4pm.
00:06:56Uh, I had an online meeting with my previous parish and, uh,
00:07:02Neil, he popped in to say he didn't nip off to see someone.
00:07:06Popped in from where?
00:07:08The church grounds.
00:07:09He had recently started working as the caretaker.
00:07:11He came highly recommended.
00:07:14Always happy to help, apparently.
00:07:17He didn't mention who he was going to see, did he?
00:07:20Uh, no. Not to me, he didn't. Sorry.
00:07:24Um, may I go now, please?
00:07:28This is quite a lot to process.
00:07:31Thank you for your help.
00:07:32If we have any more questions, we'll be in touch.
00:07:38Derek!
00:07:41Lucas, what are you doing here?
00:07:43I was looking for Neil.
00:07:44Is he about?
00:07:45This is Lucas Oxley, a neighbour of Neil's.
00:07:47You're not going to believe this, but, um, Neil has...
00:07:52I'm afraid Neil's body was discovered this morning.
00:07:55Really?
00:07:58So you were talking to him yesterday?
00:08:00When were they?
00:08:01Early evening.
00:08:03Would you be a bit more specific?
00:08:07Do I know you?
00:08:10Not to my knowledge, no.
00:08:13It was around 6.
00:08:15I was outside a pub having a smoke.
00:08:17What pub?
00:08:18Only one pub round here.
00:08:19The Fatted Calf.
00:08:22Neil and I had a chat.
00:08:24And we're back inside.
00:08:26Did he say where he was going to next?
00:08:29I didn't ask.
00:08:32You should do a remembrance for him.
00:08:35Seeing as much as we all liked him.
00:08:47What was wrong with him?
00:08:47Did you see how we were looking at you?
00:08:50Well, I don't know what that was all about.
00:08:52Do you have a look around?
00:08:54Yeah, let's.
00:08:56Is that what I think it is?
00:09:10I think it is.
00:09:11A well?
00:09:13Got it in one.
00:09:15Let's have a look.
00:09:17A bit random.
00:09:19Why would someone have a well in their garden?
00:09:22Well, you never know until you look.
00:09:25Can't see anything.
00:09:26No, there's nothing.
00:09:28Worth a try.
00:09:30Let's take a proper look inside, Neil's.
00:09:35Quality stuff, eh?
00:09:38You know about antiques?
00:09:41Every Sunday night I had a bath for jam butter in the Antiques Roadshow without fail.
00:09:46What all kids grew up with that.
00:09:47Take a look at this.
00:09:52What are these?
00:09:55Oh, whoa.
00:09:56Look at these.
00:09:57Looks like Neil has been blackmailed.
00:09:59Repent or die.
00:10:01Judgment is coming.
00:10:04The rats will eat you alive.
00:10:06Death is watching you.
00:10:11What the hell is that?
00:10:18Neil Goodwin, 23 years of age, died from blood force trauma to the head.
00:10:39He was last seen alive outside the Fatted Calf Pub in Wythens yesterday about 6pm.
00:10:44Two hours later, he was found dead in the local quarry.
00:10:47And what we need to do is account for those two hours.
00:10:50Tracey, can you see where that lettering might have come from?
00:10:53Yep, yep, will do, sir.
00:10:54Ben, Diane, you spoke with Derek Alton, the vicar.
00:10:59Yeah, it was a bit skittish, wasn't it?
00:11:01Mm, my bad.
00:11:03Er, we also saw someone dressed up like a rat-like creature with a weird mask on.
00:11:10Yeah, it was a rat.
00:11:13A rat, yeah.
00:11:14Yeah, and whoever it was, whatever it was, was stood directly outside Neil's house,
00:11:18and then just disappeared to thin air.
00:11:21Listen, can we put that on hold for a moment?
00:11:23Is no one going to ask me why I'm a few minutes late?
00:11:25Why a few minutes late?
00:11:27Yeah, thanks.
00:11:28Er, I've been digging up some old case files.
00:11:31And...
00:11:35Seriously?
00:11:37Everybody forgotten Emma Runshaw?
00:11:38Anyone going to fill me in?
00:11:40Well, it's your case, Todd.
00:11:42Right.
00:11:43Emma Runshaw, only daughter of Howard and Sarah Runshaw.
00:11:47Five years ago, she was going to see her boyfriend in Birmingham.
00:11:50Never arrived.
00:11:51Disappeared en route.
00:11:52Now, have a little guess who her boyfriend was.
00:11:56Neil Goodwin?
00:11:58Bingo.
00:11:59Anyway, last sighting of Emma was in a tiny amulet in between Edendale and Birmingham.
00:12:05No witnesses, no CCTV, her former dead and her parents are convinced it's all down to Neil Goodwin.
00:12:11You two are definitely going back to Withers.
00:12:13They're going to pay the Runshaw's a visit.
00:12:15Oh, mate, mate, don't forget tonight, we're paying due reverence, yeah?
00:12:19Yes.
00:12:20What's that about?
00:12:22Well, on this very day, back in 1972, Derby County won what was the old First Division.
00:12:28It's a big deal.
00:12:29Upgrade offer.
00:12:34Oh.
00:12:35Mrs Runshaw.
00:12:37Yes?
00:12:38D.C. Ben Cooper, this is D.C. Fry.
00:12:40Can we come back to you?
00:12:41Oh.
00:12:42Mrs Runshaw.
00:12:43Yes?
00:12:44D.C. Ben Cooper, this is D.C. Fry.
00:12:46Can we come back to you?
00:12:47Yes.
00:12:48Yes.
00:12:49Yes.
00:12:50Yes.
00:12:51Yes.
00:12:52Yes.
00:12:53Yes.
00:12:54Yes.
00:12:55D.C. Ben Cooper, this is D.C. Fry.
00:12:58Can we come in and have a chat, please?
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:01Come in.
00:13:07I knew you'd be round.
00:13:11I said to Howard, I said, ours be the first door they knock on.
00:13:16I mean, when we found out Neil was murdered.
00:13:18Mrs Runshaw, can we ask where you was yesterday evening?
00:13:22Sat in, watching books with Howard.
00:13:25Is your husband around?
00:13:27Upstairs.
00:13:28Can you shut him down?
00:13:31Howard!
00:13:32Police are here.
00:13:33They think we've done away with Neil Goodwin.
00:13:37Sorry.
00:13:38Just getting things ready for Emma Day.
00:13:40We like to commemorate her each year since she's gone missing.
00:13:44We've put three of her photos and artwork on display in the local church, so the village can remember her.
00:13:56It'd be like she's never been away.
00:13:58We were just establishing your whereabouts last night, Mr Runshaw.
00:14:02I told them we were watching tally.
00:14:04Which we were.
00:14:06Right.
00:14:07Can you tell us when either of you last saw Neil Goodwin?
00:14:10Can't remember.
00:14:12Sarah?
00:14:13Don't ask me.
00:14:14We avoided him like the plague.
00:14:17You still blame him for the disappearance of Emma five years later?
00:14:20It was him alright, make no mistake.
00:14:22Well, according to our records, he had a solid alibi the day Emma disappeared.
00:14:28That was a pack of lies.
00:14:30He took her from us.
00:14:31No doubt there's a reason you're saying that, Mrs Runshaw.
00:14:34He was controlling Emma.
00:14:35By the time we realised it was too late.
00:14:37We challenged him, but she just vanished.
00:14:39He's had a hold up somewhere all to himself, I know it.
00:14:43But Neil came back to Withers to live.
00:14:46And I begged and begged him to tell us where she was.
00:14:49She just said that you both avoided him like the plague, so which one is it?
00:14:53Got a smart one here, Sarah.
00:14:55Better watch our step.
00:14:58What Neil ever said to us was that we should forget about Emma and move on.
00:15:04If you knew what I went through bringing her into this world,
00:15:08I almost died giving birth.
00:15:12But I fought with all I had because I was going to be her mum.
00:15:17And he thought we should just move on.
00:15:19Listen, let's park Emma for now.
00:15:21She's not the reason we came here.
00:15:23Well, you're the ones bringing her up.
00:15:25It's likely that I've forgotten all about her.
00:15:28No-one calls us.
00:15:29There are no updates and nothing.
00:15:31Okay, like my colleague said...
00:15:33Five years and we're no closer to getting her back.
00:15:35We're dying with this woody great hole in our lives.
00:15:37If there's time, I'll try and follow it up.
00:15:39I'm not making any promises, but can we get back to talking about Neil, please?
00:15:43Did you hear that, love?
00:15:45She's going to find Emma.
00:15:46No, I never said that.
00:15:49Take these.
00:15:51Get to know our beautiful daughter.
00:15:53Then you'll see why Neil wanted her all to himself.
00:15:55Right, Neil Goodwin's life in a nutshell.
00:16:08We've got bank statements, letters, bills, I mean, you name it.
00:16:13Are you all right?
00:16:14Socko will have been through that.
00:16:15Yeah, but I haven't.
00:16:16Are they?
00:16:17Emma Runshaw's diaries?
00:16:19Yeah, Howard Runshaw gave me them.
00:16:21Yeah, no.
00:16:22Waste of time.
00:16:23Nothing but the cliched agonies of every teenager you've ever met.
00:16:26I've done a bit of a deep dive on Neil.
00:16:29So, it appears like he never had a full-time job, but did lots of cashing handwork.
00:16:35Dairst and dairst?
00:16:36Yeah, both parents killed in a car crash.
00:16:39He inherited the house and his brother, he emigrated to New Zealand.
00:16:44Any previous?
00:16:45Yeah, it was a public order in Birmingham, outside a nightclub east side.
00:16:50But, I mean, other than that, he appears like an angel.
00:16:53Where did he stay in Brough?
00:16:54Tupton Lane.
00:16:55Yeah.
00:16:56I went there.
00:16:57I was seeing if Emma was beneath the floorboards.
00:16:59There's anything to get their stupid parents off my back.
00:17:03Any signing of his phone?
00:17:05Erm, no.
00:17:06No.
00:17:07Service provider reckons it's switched off, but they're going to send over, like, call data
00:17:10and last cell site when they have it.
00:17:12And what about his car?
00:17:13Er, no.
00:17:14No signing of that either.
00:17:15Yeah, look, guys.
00:17:16We are going to broaden the search tomorrow.
00:17:17Odds are.
00:17:18We find the car.
00:17:19We find the phone.
00:17:20Ben, derby time.
00:17:21Let's go.
00:17:22Chewy calls.
00:17:23See you tomorrow.
00:17:24See ya.
00:17:25Oh.
00:17:26Thought you were told to ignore them.
00:17:27Yeah, but looks like I'm home alone tonight, so what else am I going to do?
00:17:28Alright.
00:17:29Night-night.
00:17:30Night-night.
00:17:31Night-night.
00:17:32Night-night.
00:17:33Night-night.
00:17:34Night-night.
00:17:35Night-night.
00:17:36were told to ignore them. Yeah, but looks like I'm home alone tonight, so what else
00:17:41am I going to do? I'm alright. Night-night.
00:17:54Everyone's fighting, I've got to be proud.
00:17:58Steve Boomer's watching us, I'll tell them that's the height.
00:18:03What's that? I'm going to commit to the song.
00:18:07Show up a second, right? Go on, tell me this, right? What's it like with the new flatmate?
00:18:13Oh, here we go. No, yeah, it's fine, no problems.
00:18:21No, no. I want to know what she's like outside of office hours, outside of those suits that
00:18:27she wears. I want to know.
00:18:28I can't tell you what she's like, because she's only just arrived there, so I can't give you
00:18:32any specifics. Say, right, that you want to bring a girl back home, or you want to watch
00:18:38the football, or... No, no, right, say you want to walk around in your pants, right? Right?
00:18:44The one thing that I've always said that I will never give up is my freedom. My right
00:18:49to be me. God-given right, yeah? And I follow that to the letter. To the letter, then, right?
00:18:54Otherwise, look, you'll never live. It's not that deep. It's not that deep. Anyway, I've
00:19:00got a house, mate, not an incurable disease. You know what I mean? Well, I bloody hope not,
00:19:04because I have been sipping from your pint when you've been looking away. Well, I've been
00:19:08spitting in yours, pal.
00:19:09Mm.
00:19:10Oh, my God.
00:19:40No, no, no, no, no.
00:20:10No, no, no.
00:20:40No, no, no, no.
00:21:10What are you really doing here?
00:21:11Oh, straight to the point.
00:21:13You should have been a copper, Mum.
00:21:15No, actually, there is something I want to ask you,
00:21:18because if anyone would know, it would be you.
00:21:20So, what do you know about rat-like figures in Witham's?
00:21:29I think you're talking about Satan's version of Morris stancers, call themselves the Border Rats.
00:21:37Yeah? That's...
00:21:41Why did they dress like that?
00:21:44Well, it was to do with the workers who died in the quarry at Witham's.
00:21:48It collapsed in the 1880s.
00:21:51Hundreds of them died, and they were all found with their fingers and toes and faces,
00:21:57chewed and even bitten clean off by rats.
00:22:02Well, they ate the workers.
00:22:04Oh, more than ate them.
00:22:07They absorbed them.
00:22:09That company didn't care how many men died,
00:22:11just as long as their quarry could work overtime.
00:22:14So, the story is that the Border Rats were formed to protect Witham's from then on.
00:22:20Beware the rats, they will eat you alive.
00:22:24What was that?
00:22:25Oh, nothing. It's just a message I read.
00:22:29Robin, be careful.
00:22:32When the Border Rats feast,
00:22:34they eat both body and soul.
00:22:36Let's go.
00:23:06So, the phone was found in the brambles on the path up to Mount Torre, and we're still
00:23:21waiting for forensics on the blood, but fingerprints have confirmed that it is in fact Neil Goodwin's
00:23:26phone. Now, it looks like Neil's killer grabbed the phone and dumped it miles away. So, CCTV,
00:23:33traffic cams, the usual, whatever they throw up. Yes, basically.
00:23:37Yeah, I've looked into the lettering found on the threat sent to Neil, and it looks like
00:23:42it's been cut out of a Bible. We don't know which version yet, but forensics are on it.
00:23:46Okay. Ben? Ben? Anything on the vicar?
00:23:52Ah, still digging into it, sir. Keep looking. Maybe next year, stick to the shandy.
00:24:03Here you go. Made it extra strong for you.
00:24:07Ah, cheers. Right, I, er, I spoke with my mum. That thing we saw yesterday, apparently it's
00:24:14called a border rat. It's like, er, a Morris dancer, but a bit more vicious.
00:24:21What?
00:24:21I wanted to say this before. I promise, I, er, I wasn't prying or snooping around,
00:24:28but I came across the stuff you have on your dad's murder case. Well, I, I, I was just
00:24:33looking for a pen and then I... No, no, it's all right. It's all right. It led nowhere,
00:24:37so I boxed it all away.
00:24:40Don't that stuff belong here? On file?
00:24:43Well, just, I'll find a second. I'll put it all back. No-one's going to know, are they?
00:24:46Before you do, er, I could take a look. Fresh eyes, get...
00:24:51No, no need. I'm done with it, honest. Thank you.
00:24:57Right. Derek Alton. Let's get to know you properly, shall we?
00:25:04There he is, in his old parish. Nice church.
00:25:09So, why did you transfer to Withens?
00:25:13Ben, you are thinking out loud.
00:25:20Hang on.
00:25:22It's St Maldon's. It's his old church, and that's in Birmingham Eastside. Didn't somebody
00:25:27mention Birmingham Eastside, right?
00:25:29Yep. Tracy said Neil used to live there when he was in Birmingham.
00:25:31Yeah, that's it, that's it. So maybe him and Alton knew each other from before?
00:25:36No, he said he, er, he barely knew Neil.
00:25:38We found him in Neil's home. You don't believe that burglar crap he came up with, do you?
00:25:45I'm going to go pay him a visit. See you in a bit.
00:25:48Bye.
00:25:51That'd block the altar. I thought we could do it off to one side.
00:25:54We want her, front and centre.
00:25:56Excuse me.
00:25:58You've got news on him already?
00:26:00What have you found?
00:26:01I'm actually here to see Reverend Alton. Sorry. Reverend, could I have a word in private, please?
00:26:09Er, yes, er, of course. Er, this way.
00:26:18I just wanted to, er, chat to you about your, your last church, St Maldon's. I'm okay sitting here, all right?
00:26:24Er, yes, of course. Er, what's that got to do with anything?
00:26:28Did you know Neil lived in Eastside while you were over there?
00:26:32No. Not at all.
00:26:34Never came up between the two of yous?
00:26:37No.
00:26:38That's weird.
00:26:39Never mentioned, he never asked you where you transferred from, never told you that he shared a flat in Eastside.
00:26:45We barely spoke.
00:26:47I just thought you might have said something in pass. It was strange, I think. He worked outside, clearing the graveyard. I thought you would have bumped into him a bit. Maybe had a chat about the pass.
00:26:59But, er, I had no reason to go out there.
00:27:03And I've been too busy here with the church.
00:27:07Fair enough.
00:27:09I saw a picture of your old church. Very nice.
00:27:12And all this feels...
00:27:15kind of like a demotion.
00:27:18Well, er, a house of God is a house of God wherever you go.
00:27:21It's a nice Bible.
00:27:25I couldn't have a look at that, could I?
00:27:28Sorry.
00:27:30But I've had a few stolen recently.
00:27:33And what I mean is people forget they've got them and then they take them home.
00:27:38I'm trying to hang on to the ones I've got.
00:27:41Bible thieves, eh?
00:27:43You can give me some names of potential suspects if you like.
00:27:46I'd better get back to the run, Charles.
00:27:50Fair enough. I'll have a look round and then I'll be on my way, yeah.
00:27:56Why would you need to do that?
00:27:58You see, my old man was a copper too.
00:28:01And he said to me, make sure you follow every path.
00:28:07I let myself out.
00:28:16Sarge?
00:28:27What?
00:28:29Take a look at this.
00:28:35Huh.
00:28:36Looks like Neil was about to have a big payday.
00:28:39You come to repent?
00:28:46Neil was selling to First Water.
00:28:48It says Neil was selling his house and moving out of Wivens.
00:28:51How's that work?
00:28:52He's got a bloody great big protest sign in his garden.
00:28:55First Water must have convinced him to sell.
00:28:57That's where Michael Hebden worked.
00:29:00Nice recall.
00:29:01Shall we pay him a visit?
00:29:03Yeah, let's do it.
00:29:04I'll see you down there.
00:29:09Yeah, Neil was selling up, but I managed to talk him into it just over a week ago.
00:29:24First Water was delighted.
00:29:26So what about all the signs in Neil's garden?
00:29:28Because he was quite clearly against First Water.
00:29:32Well, Neil and I decided to keep the sale between ourselves in case there were any recriminations.
00:29:36What sort of recriminations?
00:29:37Well, you must have felt the anger around here.
00:29:40The village would be up in arms.
00:29:42They hate my guts as it is.
00:29:44So what, they'd go after Neil?
00:29:46No, well, he made sure that they wouldn't.
00:29:47The minute the money was in Neil's bank, he was going to pack up and get the hell away.
00:29:51Mr Hebden, what exactly were First Water's plans?
00:29:54They're going to buy up Wivens and then flatten it.
00:29:57There'll be a huge water refinery here instead.
00:30:00And hundreds of jobs will be created.
00:30:01It's a good thing.
00:30:02But wouldn't you lose your home?
00:30:04Oh, I couldn't care less.
00:30:05As soon as they make me an offer, I'm taking Firth Water's coin and getting the hell out.
00:30:10Don't look like the rest of the village is selling up any time soon.
00:30:12Oh, they will.
00:30:13The minute they hear that Neil's house has been snapped up, it'll be like dominoes.
00:30:17All it takes is one person to throw in the towel and the rest will follow, guaranteed.
00:30:20Why did you seek out Neil, in particular?
00:30:24Well, that's because of the well in his garden.
00:30:26It's like a natural gateway to the underground springs.
00:30:29Getting that means that Firth have got Wivens by the ball, so to speak.
00:30:33It's all just a matter of time now.
00:30:36Do you think there's a chance that someone could have found out about Neil's plans because he was getting death threats?
00:30:41Oh, God, I never even considered that.
00:30:46Can you think of anyone that would threaten him?
00:30:48Well, I don't know if I should say.
00:30:50I mean, if that's what got Neil killed...
00:30:52Mr. Hebden.
00:30:56This didn't come from me.
00:30:58But if anyone was sending threats, it'd be Lucas Oxley.
00:31:03That's the guy we met outside Neil's house.
00:31:07Well, was there any animosity between Neil and Lucas Oxley?
00:31:11It's Lucas Oxley.
00:31:12There's always going to be animosity.
00:31:21So, Lucas Oxley.
00:31:24Yeah, my dad arrested his son, Rowan, he was called.
00:31:28That's probably why he was looking at me like that.
00:31:29Saw some resemblance.
00:31:31He was into everything.
00:31:32Robbery, GBH, handling stolen goods, you name it, they were doing it.
00:31:37It was actually his wife, Lilla, who gave my dad a tip-off about him.
00:31:42Apparently he was always cheating on her, so she'd had enough of him.
00:31:45Word was she fled to Wales, but my dad never believed it.
00:31:48He looked into it, but never found anything.
00:31:53You know what, I have to say.
00:31:55I think I'm with Hebden.
00:31:57I would take first offer, and I would run with it.
00:32:00I don't know, but this, this is their home.
00:32:03You know what I mean?
00:32:04Once these villages go, they're gone forever, aren't they?
00:32:06And for what, a bottle of water in a supermarket?
00:32:09If I lived there, I'd fight as well.
00:32:12And kill?
00:32:12Well, it's looking like it, isn't it?
00:32:15Oxley finds out that Neil's selling up, starts with the frets, it doesn't work, so he escalates, takes it to the next level to set an example for anyone else thinking of selling up.
00:32:24Let's get this.
00:32:28Hiya, DC Fry.
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:35No, I appreciate it, thank you.
00:32:37Bye.
00:32:38That was the hospital, because I asked them to dig out Emma Runshaw's medical records.
00:32:44The diaries were pretty much as Sarge said they were.
00:32:47Until I noticed Brave Girl stickers on some of the pages.
00:32:49Like the type you get when you go to the dentist as a kid?
00:32:52Yep, or the hospital.
00:32:54And now it's worked out that for every sticker, it matches up with a hospital visit.
00:32:58Now, it was a lot of visits.
00:33:00Emma was in and out of casually right up until the time she disappeared.
00:33:03Maybe we should pay the Runshaws another visit.
00:33:13Howard's still over at church.
00:33:15Oh, that's okay.
00:33:16We can do this for you, Mrs. Runshaw.
00:33:20Well, how can I help you now?
00:33:26We're concerned with the unusually high number of hospital visits Emma had over the years.
00:33:31That's what you get for being a tomboy.
00:33:33Doing all the daft things that boys do.
00:33:35Even at two years old?
00:33:37Because the hospital told me that was the first time she was admitted.
00:33:39That's because she had that illness.
00:33:42What's it called when you keep bumping into things?
00:33:45Dyspraxia.
00:33:47Howard's right.
00:33:49You are a bright one.
00:33:52The first time it happened, we gave her a dolly.
00:33:55And it turned out to be a big mistake.
00:33:58Why is that?
00:34:01Became a thing.
00:34:03She knew she'd get a dolly every time she went to hospital.
00:34:09You know what kids are like.
00:34:11Was Emma leaving home, Mrs. Runshaw?
00:34:16Whatever would make you think that.
00:34:17Well, in our case notes, it said that Emma left with a suitcase.
00:34:21I mean, why would she do that if she was just visiting Neil for the weekend?
00:34:25Because that snake Neil told her to.
00:34:27He was controlling her.
00:34:28He told you.
00:34:29He told her to pack her suitcase.
00:34:33He told her to get on the bus.
00:34:34And he told her he'd be waiting for her.
00:34:37Waiting to take our precious daughter away.
00:34:39Neil had an alibi for when Emma disappeared.
00:34:41And yet you maintain he took her.
00:34:43It don't make sense.
00:34:45It was a made-up alibi.
00:34:47Why won't you listen?
00:34:54Cheers, Emma.
00:34:55Any problems?
00:34:55It's not registered to Neil Goodwin, so you need to call me get this, man.
00:34:58All right?
00:34:59Oh.
00:35:00I'm going to slow down, man.
00:35:01Sorry, mate.
00:35:02I'm going to slow down, man.
00:35:32Right.
00:35:43So what are we thinking?
00:35:45Let's say the Rundshaws did do something to Emma, right?
00:35:47Somehow, Neil finds out.
00:35:49And they know that Neil knows.
00:35:51So what?
00:35:52They do something to shut him up?
00:35:55I mean, it's something we definitely have to follow up on.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:36:02Do you want a coffee?
00:36:08No, I'm OK, thank you.
00:36:09All right.
00:36:09Who's that little fella?
00:36:36Oh, erm, it's nothing.
00:36:47Want to talk about it?
00:36:49It's nothing, and we've got work to do.
00:36:51Well, it's obviously not nothing, because you've been jumping all week.
00:36:54Is that your ex or something?
00:36:55We are not doing this, and we are definitely not doing this here.
00:36:58What do you expect, right?
00:36:59Every time he texts or calls you, you freeze her.
00:37:01You obviously don't want to see him, yet he's turning up here, dropping off gifts for you.
00:37:06Is he a nutter?
00:37:07It's fine.
00:37:08You need to do the right thing and report it.
00:37:09Leave it, Ben.
00:37:11I've got this.
00:37:12Trust me.
00:37:12Yes, don't you tell her.
00:37:29Yes, don't you tell her.
00:37:31Sir, we've identified the splinters in Neil's headroom.
00:37:51It's hardwood from a black walnut tree.
00:37:54Black walnut?
00:37:55Presumably he wasn't hit with the whole tree, so we'll just have to find out what did they make out of black walnut.
00:38:13Sure yourself, then.
00:38:23You like it?
00:38:24You big chicken.
00:38:29You never said what happened to your old one.
00:38:32I honestly don't know, Lucas.
00:38:35Of course you don't.
00:38:37But take it from lessons learned long ago.
00:38:42Silence is the best friend you never knew you had.
00:38:44Right, so it's definitely not Neil's phone.
00:39:09No, no.
00:39:11So, network provider reckons it's a burner because it's not registered anywhere.
00:39:14But the weird thing is, when they opened it up, the only number they found on it were Neil's.
00:39:18So, whoever owned his phone has been calling Neil on it?
00:39:23Yeah.
00:39:24And, according to his provider, he's been calling the Mac.
00:39:28Look, why would a phone that don't belong to Neil have his blood and fingerprints on it?
00:39:32God knows.
00:39:33Right, I need some fresh air.
00:39:34Yeah, my head's pounded.
00:39:37Right.
00:39:38Mind if I run to McVite, yeah?
00:39:53You've gone to anyway, sir.
00:39:55Look, it's about Emma.
00:39:56She stepped off a bus in a tiny...
00:39:58Right, Diane, Diane, my head is banging, yeah?
00:40:00We just...
00:40:01We need to follow up on Lucas, hopefully.
00:40:03Find out who's been calling Neil, let alone who hit him over the head with a lump of warmth.
00:40:07Which is what I am doing.
00:40:09Look, Emma got off the bus in a tiny village.
00:40:11There were no CCTV, no traffic cams, nothing to record a movement.
00:40:14But why did she get off the bus when the bus was taken all the way to Birmingham?
00:40:17That's what Sarge said.
00:40:18He said whoever abducted her picked her up from that point, didn't he?
00:40:22What if Neil helped her escape?
00:40:23What if he was waiting there to take her somewhere safe?
00:40:25Yeah, but Neil had an alibi, didn't he?
00:40:27He had some bloke, he spent the whole day with him in Birmingham.
00:40:29We need to talk to this alibi.
00:40:32Every path, Ben, we go down every single one.
00:40:35See, now that's weird.
00:40:36Why are you saying that?
00:40:37Where have you got that from?
00:40:38I don't know, I just heard it somewhere.
00:40:40Why?
00:40:40Oh, nothing.
00:40:41It's just something Dad used to say.
00:40:46Come on, then.
00:40:46Let's do it.
00:40:55Right, let's see who gave Neil an alibi.
00:41:01Ben, look at this.
00:41:04What?
00:41:05Look.
00:41:09Every damn path.
00:41:10Derek Halston.
00:41:12He told me he'd never met Neil before.
00:41:14Hello, Derek.
00:41:22We just had a few questions to ask you.
00:41:24Sorry, you've reminded me.
00:41:25I'd better put a sign up.
00:41:26Oh, no, no, no, Scott, I can't wait.
00:41:28I can't wait.
00:41:29Why did you tell me you'd never met Neil when he was in Birmingham before?
00:41:34Because I didn't.
00:41:35Only he did because five years ago you gave Birmingham Police a statement saying that you were with Neil.
00:41:42The day that Emma Runshaw went missing.
00:41:46Neil asked me to do it.
00:41:49He said they'd believe I'm out of the cloth.
00:41:51Okay.
00:41:52Okay, so where was he instead?
00:41:54You just said he was in an alibi.
00:41:56I didn't question it.
00:41:57Right, so you do know providing a false alibi is a serious offence.
00:42:01So you just happily went along and did it, though, right?
00:42:03You must have known Neil pretty well to do something like that for him.
00:42:10Come on, Derek, you don't just leave your old parish and come to a run-down village for nothing, do you?
00:42:17Neil and I, we were in a relationship at the time.
00:42:24I thought he was dating Emma back then.
00:42:27It was a front.
00:42:28They were best friends.
00:42:30She helped him out, he helped her out.
00:42:33So did the Runshaws know about you and Neil?
00:42:36They hated Neil.
00:42:38And I may have well defended him a bit too fervently.
00:42:45The Runshaws are adamant that Neil's alibi was a lie.
00:42:49I mean, did you end up telling them what you did for him?
00:42:51Two weeks ago.
00:42:53They pried it out of me.
00:42:55They're nothing but horrible bullies.
00:42:56I didn't have a choice.
00:42:58I didn't have a choice.
00:42:58What's that?
00:43:14Look, if the Runshaws only found out about Derek's fake alibi recently, then that'd explain why they killed Neil now and not five years ago.
00:43:27I thought I should try and tidy up a bit, but I pulled back the tab where Neil was clearing up.
00:43:50Ben, it's not in the coffin.
00:43:57Man or female?
00:44:17That'll have to wait for now.
00:44:18That's a nice bracelet.
00:44:20Can you at least tell us how long it's been in the ground?
00:44:23See my previous answer.
00:44:24Thanks.
00:44:32Is it her? Is it my Emma? Is it her? Is it her Emma? Is it her?
00:44:37Sorry, we actually don't know anything at this point.
00:44:39All right, guys, sorry.
00:44:40I know it's her!
00:44:41It's not Emma, Lord!
00:44:42It's not Emma! It can't be! She's out there somewhere! She's alive!
00:44:45I can feel it! You can too! Tell me you can!
00:44:48I don't understand.
00:44:49Why wouldn't Neil cover up her body when you could just call the police like a normal person
00:44:53and instead, he tells Derek he's going to go see someone.
00:44:56And ends up dead in a disused quarry.
00:45:00I meant to be the one who offers support, but look at me.
00:45:03When did Neil start clearing the graveyard?
00:45:07Two days ago.
00:45:11It had become overgrown and Neil was helping tidy it up.
00:45:15Did anyone voice concerns about that?
00:45:17Not to me they didn't.
00:45:19He was doing a good thing.
00:45:20I did think it was weird that he just up and left before finishing.
00:45:27Sorry, I need to answer this.
00:45:31I'll be back in a minute.
00:45:41Go on then.
00:45:43Go on, say it.
00:45:44Say what?
00:45:45Well, you think that's Emma's body that Neil dug up, don't you?
00:45:49And that her parents put her there, right?
00:45:54Or at least the dad did.
00:45:56Judging by the mum's reaction.
00:45:58No, but he would have had to have known about their escape plan.
00:46:02Okay, let's just say he did.
00:46:04And on the day she went to meet Neil,
00:46:06well, he went after her, pulled up and grabbed her before Neil got there.
00:46:09I mean, it would be the perfect spot to go undetected
00:46:11because Emma and Neil had already made sure of it.
00:46:13Okay, but if that was the case,
00:46:16then Neil would have known they'd taken her when he got there
00:46:19because she's not there, so why not ring the police then?
00:46:24They put her missing.
00:46:25You know, she's a young girl.
00:46:26But no, instead, he moves back to Withens,
00:46:29doesn't point the finger of suspicion at anyone in five years.
00:46:33Well, I'm not buying that.
00:46:38It's Sarge.
00:46:39They've found Neil's car.
00:46:41Let's go.
00:46:41It's near where the body was found.
00:46:49This is nice.
00:46:50Look at this handsome bastard.
00:46:53He's a rams fan.
00:46:55Any sign of Neil's phone, Sarge?
00:46:57No, not a sniff.
00:46:58No.
00:46:59Look, you're telling me about all this from doing odd jobs.
00:47:03Tell you something, I've seen this before.
00:47:07His report's stolen, I'm sure of it.
00:47:08Lucas Oxley?
00:47:20When did he become a player in this?
00:47:22The last known person to see Neil Goodwin alive, sir.
00:47:25We believe he was threatening Neil over the sale of his house to Firthwater.
00:47:29How come?
00:47:31Will Firthwater plan to flatten Withens and build a water refiner in its place?
00:47:36The villagers are furious.
00:47:37One of the villagers, Michael Hebden, who works for the water company,
00:47:41he helped Neil sell his house in secret.
00:47:44But if word gets out...
00:47:45Yeah, we all know what Oxley's capable of.
00:47:47Hmm.
00:47:48Anything else?
00:47:50The Ronshaws.
00:47:51We believe they were abusing Emma.
00:47:54It's just a theory for now.
00:47:56But the number of hospital visits she had seems to point to that.
00:48:00No one spotted that five years ago?
00:48:03I just got lucky, sir.
00:48:05So we think Neil actually helped Emma escape their clutches.
00:48:09They found out...
00:48:10Which gives both the Ronshaws motive.
00:48:12What, have they got alibis?
00:48:13Conveniently, they've given each other an alibi, sir.
00:48:16But how did they find out about Neil?
00:48:17I mean, was this recently?
00:48:19Yeah, um, Derek Colton, the vicar,
00:48:22he told them that he'd given Neil a false alibi.
00:48:25Oh, man of God lies to the police.
00:48:27Well, he had to, sir.
00:48:28He was in a relationship with Neil.
00:48:30The things people do for love.
00:48:33So, if I was a betting man,
00:48:37who would you tell me to put my money up?
00:48:38Ronshaws.
00:48:41Great.
00:48:42Is that it?
00:48:43Well, judging by the inside of Neil's car, sir,
00:48:45he's definitely on the rub.
00:48:47Well, the Sarge is convinced anyway.
00:48:49Which brings in another factor.
00:48:51We think Neil could have had a falling out
00:48:53with whoever he's dealing with,
00:48:54and then we think it could be that person's phone
00:48:57that we found up at Mam Tor.
00:48:58Who throws away their own phone?
00:49:01Yeah, we have that question also,
00:49:03but we just can't seem to figure it out yet.
00:49:06But yeah, that's the picture, is it the stands?
00:49:08Here he is.
00:49:10I'm just going to put this up there.
00:49:13Remember my hunch about this bad boy?
00:49:16Turns out it was stolen from an address
00:49:18in Withens, no less.
00:49:19It was an heirloom.
00:49:26Where'd you find it?
00:49:27We've reason to believe Neil Goodwin stole it.
00:49:30Neil wasn't a thief.
00:49:32He was about the only decent person around here.
00:49:34Well, we found it in his car.
00:49:36I can't believe that of him.
00:49:38He put the security grills over the windows,
00:49:41installed the front door,
00:49:42damn thing weighs a ton.
00:49:43He did all that to protect me.
00:49:46Protect you?
00:49:47You didn't say you needed protecting.
00:49:48Well, I would have thought it was obvious.
00:49:51I'm parting to the death of this crappy little village.
00:49:55So you were threatened as well?
00:49:58They come every day.
00:49:59The threats, do you keep them?
00:50:00Because we would need to see them.
00:50:02No, you misunderstand me.
00:50:05They come in person.
00:50:06What the hell?
00:50:12I told you.
00:50:13Every day.
00:50:14Without fail.
00:50:19The border rats.
00:50:21Look, can you see what they're holding?
00:50:22Yeah, it's Black Walnut.
00:50:24Oxley makes them.
00:50:25I'm going to have a word with them.
00:50:26No.
00:50:27They'll go away in a bit.
00:50:28It's best to wait them out.
00:50:30Yeah, I can't do that.
00:50:31No, please.
00:50:32They can't get in.
00:50:32We're safe in here.
00:50:33Neil saw to that.
00:50:34It's all right with the police.
00:50:35We'll be fine.
00:50:36Leave it to us.
00:50:40Excuse me.
00:50:42Police.
00:50:42Do you want to take off your mask?
00:50:43We need to ask you some questions.
00:50:45Take off your mask and take a step back.
00:50:48Get back.
00:50:49Get back.
00:50:50I said get back.
00:50:53Leave me alone.
00:50:55Keep fruit water.
00:50:55You hear me?
00:50:56Leave me alone.
00:50:58Mr. Hebden, put the gun down.
00:50:59I'm warning you.
00:51:01I call with the police, remember?
00:51:02We're here to help.
00:51:04I said leave me alone.
00:51:06We're here to find out what happened to Neil, Mr. Hebden.
00:51:09Put the gun down, Mr. Hebden.
00:51:11There you go.
00:51:25There you are.
00:51:27Right, we need to check if Hebden has a licence for that shotgun.
00:51:30Although, I don't think he's in any fit mental state to own one, but you never know.
00:51:35And we need to find out who's behind the border rats, because any one of them could have been threatening Neil.
00:51:38And we can't even unmask them without a warrant.
00:51:42There's me thinking Leeds were bad.
00:51:45Ah, come on.
00:51:46You need to tell me about this, because whatever happened in Leeds has followed you here.
00:51:50And don't tell me it's nothing.
00:51:52It is nothing.
00:51:53You don't drive the whole way to Edendale to deliver a teddy bear.
00:51:57That's mad.
00:51:57When I broke up with him, he couldn't accept it.
00:52:03To the point where I had to move here.
00:52:06And now the problem is, he still won't accept it.
00:52:11Does this guy have a name?
00:52:15It's David.
00:52:17David Branagh.
00:52:17Right, and is David married?
00:52:23I'm taking that as a yes.
00:52:24Look, promise, I didn't know.
00:52:26I didn't know, and as soon as I found out that he had a wife and kids, I ended it.
00:52:30If you want my advice, I'll be picking up the phone and I'll be putting him on stalking charges.
00:52:35Ben, it's not that easy.
00:52:37Why?
00:52:38Tell me.
00:52:42Well, can I at least see a photo of this guy?
00:52:45Okay.
00:52:47Relax, it's the boss.
00:52:59Hello?
00:53:05Yeah.
00:53:06You want to see us, sir?
00:53:07Yeah, take a seat.
00:53:13We've just had the report on the body in Wytham's graveyard.
00:53:16Is it Emma Runchers?
00:53:18No.
00:53:19Turns out, it's Lily Oxley.
00:53:21Lucas Oxley's daughter-in-law.
00:53:24She's been lying in that graveyard for years.
00:53:27From around about the time that she supposedly moved to Wales.
00:53:30So Dad was right, something did happen to her.
00:53:32Well, if she turned her husband in, Lucas Oxley could have found out and, well, turned on her.
00:53:36Maybe Neil recognised her initials from the bracelet.
00:53:41That could be what he wanted to talk to Oxley about, outside the pub.
00:53:46Dr. Taylor mentions that Lily was bludgeoned to death and that there are particles of black walnut in the wound.
00:53:54So it has all the similarities on Neil Goodwin's murder.
00:53:58Lucas Oxley's daughter-in-law.
00:54:28You're Joe Cooper's son.
00:54:33Couldn't place you at first, but to say, a stink of your dad about you.
00:54:40Well, just so you know, Lucas, we've ID'd the person found at the church.
00:54:46It was your daughter-in-law, Lily.
00:54:48Can't be.
00:54:49She went travelling.
00:54:50Packed her bag and took off.
00:54:52No.
00:54:53Sir Lucas, make no mistake.
00:54:55Neil found her when he was clearing up.
00:54:57She'd been buried there for years.
00:54:58I suppose it saves on a funeral then.
00:55:00What would her have been buried already?
00:55:03You can pop her back in when you're done.
00:55:06We heard there were animosity between you and Neil.
00:55:09Neil had some things he needed selling.
00:55:11There was no animosity.
00:55:12Why would I hurt Neil?
00:55:15I'd not did against him.
00:55:17Where were you the day that Neil were murdered?
00:55:19I was in the pub for closing time.
00:55:21Rehearsing.
00:55:22Oh, yeah?
00:55:23Rehearsing what?
00:55:24You'll have to come down next time and see for yourself.
00:55:27Okay, can anyone confirm that you were in the pub that whole time?
00:55:30That's the vicar.
00:55:31He'll tell you.
00:55:32Oh, so Derek Holton's aboard a rat too.
00:55:34Of course he is.
00:55:36Dancing and chanting to an higher being.
00:55:39Busman's holiday for him.
00:55:41But he knows as well as anyone.
00:55:43You have to rehearse till you're perfect.
00:55:45Or else the spirits won't come.
00:55:48What do you mean by that, Lucas?
00:55:50We're in a fight for our lives, sweetheart.
00:55:52And we're summoning help.
00:55:54And mark my words, they'll come.
00:55:56And their hunger and rage will follow.
00:55:57Cross this village, and the rats will come out to feast.
00:56:15We are withings through and through.
00:56:21We know what it means to be from a place like this.
00:56:26Those like first water.
00:56:27They try to pick on the little guy.
00:56:30Well, they don't understand what we've been through.
00:56:34They don't understand the weight of the border rats.
00:56:38Decades have gone by since our ancestors lost their lives.
00:56:42Or for some useless quarry.
00:56:45Those men fought till the very end.
00:56:49And we will do too.
00:56:51We honour them each and every day.
00:56:54But now, more than ever.
00:57:00Firth and water are closing in.
00:57:02This war we've been ready for
00:57:04is coming straight to our front doors.
00:57:06And this, this is our time now.
00:57:10This is our time for revenge.
00:57:13For the border rats to rise up
00:57:15and take back what is ours.
00:57:17Firstly, it is wonderful to see so many here.
00:57:42Especially in light of recent events.
00:57:48Anyway,
00:57:49we are here for Emma.
00:57:53Not just to remember,
00:57:55but to reclaim her.
00:57:58As in, bring her back to withings.
00:58:01Sarah and Howard
00:58:12know that this village
00:58:15is where she truly belongs.
00:58:22Can I help?
00:58:38Lucas actually needs an alibi.
00:58:41And you've been happy to give him in the past, so...
00:58:43Do you want to talk about this somewhere safer?
00:58:50I wasn't in the pub that night.
00:59:10I don't know why Lucas would say that.
00:59:13So where were you then?
00:59:15At the church.
00:59:17I was sorting a few things.
00:59:18Can anyone verify that?
00:59:20No.
00:59:21No.
00:59:24You know, I've got to say,
00:59:27I find it strange that you moved down here
00:59:29five years after Neil ended the relationship.
00:59:31That was pure coincidence.
00:59:34You still had feelings for him, didn't you?
00:59:36Even after all these years,
00:59:37you couldn't get him out of your head.
00:59:38No, that's not true.
00:59:41When did you find out Neil had sold out?
00:59:44He told me last week.
00:59:45How did you take it?
00:59:47I told him I was happy for him.
00:59:49I told him I was happy for him.
00:59:50Even though you'd moved your entire life down here just to be with him?
00:59:55You said you were happy with him.
00:59:56Well, we'd figured things out recently and we agreed to be friends.
01:00:01Did you tell anyone he was moving away?
01:00:03Why would I do that?
01:00:06You were a border rat.
01:00:07You would have known what that sale meant.
01:00:09I only became a border rat to be closer to Neil.
01:00:13I swear, I kept it to myself.
01:00:17I knew people would be angry, but I'd never put Neil in danger.
01:00:21No, but that's exactly what you did when you told the run chores about your fake alibi, isn't it?
01:00:27Wasn't it?
01:00:33Talk us through your movements the night Neil died, please.
01:00:38I went to his house.
01:00:42He wasn't in, so I went looking for him and I ended up back at the church.
01:00:50And then what?
01:00:52When I went into my office, I saw that someone had been in my cupboard.
01:00:58The door was swinging open.
01:00:59What did you keep in there?
01:01:05My border rat costume.
01:01:09And my staff had been stolen.
01:01:20Lucas, we weren't sure you'd still be here.
01:01:36Villagers only.
01:01:38No blow-ins wanted.
01:01:40That's not very nice, Lucas.
01:01:41You've got the same smoke face as your dad.
01:01:46And look what happened to him.
01:01:51Derek wasn't at the pub.
01:01:53Lucas, you lied to us.
01:01:57So who do you want to get now?
01:01:58Do you want to point out one of your friends who can come along with us to the station and we'll find out their line and all?
01:02:04No.
01:02:07Howard.
01:02:10Come here a sec.
01:02:12Yes, Lucas.
01:02:14Tell this pilgrim where I was the night Neil got himself killed.
01:02:19I'd have to have a think.
01:02:20I said tell him.
01:02:21He was rehearsing all night in the pub.
01:02:33And you'd know this how?
01:02:37Because I was rehearsing with him.
01:02:41No one went home till closing.
01:02:44Your dad's probably looking down on you right now.
01:02:47Thinking, look at that.
01:02:49My idiot son has inherited my idiot genes.
01:02:56Leave it, Ben.
01:02:57Yeah.
01:02:59Leave it, Ben.
01:03:07Arrogant bastard.
01:03:12Look, if that's the case, then Howard's alibi for Lucas means that Sarah was on around the night that Neil was killed.
01:03:18Howard is scared stiff of Lucas.
01:03:20He'll say anything to keep him sweet.
01:03:24One of them's lying.
01:03:26And if Sarah made Howard give her an alibi, then surely that's the act of a person with something to hide.
01:03:32Yeah, but we know Lucas made the staff, so all we have to do is find the staff that killed Neil and we've got him.
01:03:38Nothing else matters.
01:03:39No, I need to speak with Sarah.
01:03:44Okay.
01:03:44Mrs. Runshaw, it wasn't Emma's body that was dug up.
01:04:00It was Lily Oxley.
01:04:11So, so Howard's right.
01:04:14Emma's still out there.
01:04:18Mrs. Runshaw,
01:04:19According to Lucas Oxley, Howard was with him when Neil was killed.
01:04:26Which isn't what you told us, so...
01:04:30Do you want to tell me why you lied?
01:04:32I mean...
01:04:33We could take this to the police station.
01:04:36Seems to me you're not quite as clever as Howard thought.
01:04:39What do you mean by that?
01:04:41So what if Howard wasn't at home with me?
01:04:43Doesn't mean I wasn't there.
01:04:45What I mean is, innocent people wouldn't lie.
01:04:48I was waiting in all evening, just like I do every night.
01:04:51Just in case Emma finds her way home.
01:04:52Mrs. Runshaw, I'm here to talk about Neil.
01:04:56We're tied together, mother and daughter.
01:04:59In darkness and in light.
01:05:02Emma knows that better than anyone.
01:05:04Yeah, Emma definitely knows about darkness.
01:05:10You've not got kids, have you?
01:05:14Sometimes a mother has to do things that hurt both themselves and their child.
01:05:21It's just the cross a parent has to bear.
01:05:24You're not just a nurturer.
01:05:26You're a teacher too.
01:05:27And some lessons take a little bit longer to sink in.
01:05:32But I can assure you that everything was done with love and care at the heart of it.
01:05:39Too long.
01:05:42Too long.
01:05:42Too long.
01:05:44Too close to over,
01:05:45could you hear me?
01:05:47Oh no, but what?
01:05:50Yeah.
01:05:51Come on.
01:05:51Go to thejours.
01:05:53How the dichter says you.
01:05:56That way?
01:05:58How am I?
01:05:59Oh.
01:06:01What is that?
01:06:04Oh.
01:06:05Oh.
01:06:06No.
01:06:08So, let's go.
01:06:38Let's go.
01:07:08Let's go.
01:07:38Let's go.
01:08:08I found the staff on Lucas Oxley's property. Looks like he was planning to burn it all.
01:08:14Hopefully forensics will prove it was used to kill Neil.
01:08:18And this is the more we'll use to send the threats?
01:08:21It's got to be.
01:08:22Do you think we can get him on Lily's murder as well?
01:08:25He definitely has motive. Forensics are checking out a bracelet for prints.
01:08:28It'd be a great result if we could.
01:08:32You don't look convinced, are you?
01:08:35Lucas Oxley has an alibi for Neil's murder. It just feels too easy.
01:08:39Guys, evidence management just called. It's about the burner they found in Mam Tor.
01:08:45Let's save ourselves to the hospital and just call this person back.
01:08:51No, because that's tempering with evidence, Sarge.
01:08:53So what are we going to do? Just stand around staring at it?
01:08:55What good is that going to do?
01:08:56The caller ID is Neil.
01:09:04I'll get Tracy to get a cell site look-ish.
01:09:06Come on, even if she does, all right? Who's to say that Carla's going to stay around?
01:09:10Why did you have to say that, Sarge?
01:09:12Get it here.
01:09:12I'm not taking a rat for this.
01:09:23Come on.
01:09:26Neil.
01:09:27Hold on.
01:09:29I thought this wasn't Neil's phone.
01:09:42The Puketal. That's a cafe, not Valley. I know where it is.
01:09:46Come on.
01:09:46Yeah, I'll come with you.
01:09:47Bye.
01:10:00Relax.
01:10:01Feel like a cock on the knobs.
01:10:05Maybe he saw us.
01:10:12No way.
01:10:18That's Emma Munchot.
01:10:25Emma.
01:10:27I'm afraid Neil's not coming.
01:10:30I don't understand.
01:10:32Where is he? Who are you?
01:10:34I'm Detective Constable Cooper.
01:10:37This is Detective Constable Fry.
01:10:38Um, look, maybe we should sit down and have a chat.
01:10:44Why?
01:10:45What is this?
01:10:46I think it's best you take a seat, Emma.
01:10:48I think it's best you take a seat, Emma.
01:10:48Where is Neil?
01:11:10Neil?
01:11:12I'm afraid...
01:11:14I'm afraid Neil was killed a few days ago.
01:11:19What?
01:11:20Emma, I understand that this is shocking.
01:11:25But we need to ask you a few questions.
01:11:28Do you want to drink tea or water before we start?
01:11:31What happened to him?
01:11:32Well, that's why we're here. We're trying to find that out.
01:11:37We appreciate that this is hard.
01:11:40But we need your help, Emma.
01:11:43Do you think you can do that?
01:11:44We'll start with Neil.
01:11:50We're aware that he helped you get away from your parents.
01:11:54He saved my life.
01:11:56Not sure how long it would have lasted in that house.
01:11:59I saw the brave girl stickers, so I understand.
01:12:03It's my mum who's the terrifying one.
01:12:05I bet she told you how she almost died giving birth to me.
01:12:08She mentioned it.
01:12:10She told me the same thing every day of my life.
01:12:14Like it was my fault.
01:12:16You nearly killed me.
01:12:18Over and over, she'd say it.
01:12:22Sometimes words weren't enough.
01:12:23She nearly knocked me into next week some days.
01:12:29The next thing I know, I'm lying there with a broken arm or a fractured jaw.
01:12:33I'm so sorry this happened to you, Emma.
01:12:37Why didn't your dad step in?
01:12:38The amount of times I begged him to.
01:12:40Screamed myself whores and he just stood there and did nothing.
01:12:45Except for buying me a stupid doll afterwards.
01:12:47Did anybody know?
01:12:49Did the services step in?
01:12:50This started when I was like two years old.
01:12:54And if you grow up not trusting your own parents,
01:12:56then what's going to make you think you can trust any other adult?
01:13:01But you did trust Neil.
01:13:03But I hadn't saved any money and I didn't know where to go.
01:13:07And then he came up with this plan.
01:13:09And it worked.
01:13:10Up until two weeks ago.
01:13:13I was living in Birmingham.
01:13:14I was shutting up shop.
01:13:16I work in a cafe.
01:13:17And as I was turning the clothes sign around,
01:13:21I saw them.
01:13:25My parents.
01:13:26They tried the door.
01:13:29Thank God they didn't see me.
01:13:30I was in shadow.
01:13:31But a few seconds earlier and they'd have walked in.
01:13:33It was completely by chance.
01:13:35But it was too close for comfort.
01:13:37So Neil came up with another plan.
01:13:39He told me to ditch everything.
01:13:41My phone, my flat.
01:13:42He told me to hide out until he could get some cash together.
01:13:44But not by selling his house.
01:13:46It would have took months for the cash to come for it.
01:13:48Of course not.
01:13:49And that wasn't happening anymore.
01:13:50He'd changed his mind.
01:13:52He'd sold up, Emma.
01:13:53The last time I saw him,
01:13:54he told me he was going to talk to someone down at the water company
01:13:57to call off the sale.
01:13:59What?
01:14:00Wait.
01:14:02Did Neil tell you why he wasn't selling up anymore?
01:14:05Him and the vicar had come to some sort of agreement.
01:14:07And it got to the point that Derek was doing Neil's nutting
01:14:11and was driving him away.
01:14:13But they figured it out
01:14:15and Neil didn't need to move away anymore.
01:14:18So how was he going to get money for you?
01:14:21Well, by selling the stuff he'd, you know, stolen.
01:14:27As soon as he agreed to deal with Lucas Oxley,
01:14:29he was going to call me on the new phone he gave me.
01:14:31Tell me to get ready to leave.
01:14:32Do you know who Neil was meeting up at the quarry?
01:14:34I didn't know he was meeting anyone.
01:14:36I really didn't.
01:14:37Okay, okay.
01:14:38Last question, I promise.
01:14:39How come you and Neil had swapped phones?
01:14:41It was an accident.
01:14:42He was in a hurry and he picked up mine by mistake.
01:14:46You're going to need to see that phone, Emma.
01:14:55What happens now?
01:14:56You can't bring me into this.
01:14:58You're part of a murder inquiry, Emma.
01:15:00But you can't let my parents know you've found me.
01:15:02Not if Neil's not here to help me.
01:15:05But please don't tell them.
01:15:11Right, as soon as we get this phone open,
01:15:13as soon as we can find out who Neil was meeting up with.
01:15:16School pick-up time.
01:15:17We're going to be stuck in traffic now.
01:15:18Come on, you must know some shortcuts.
01:15:23Ben?
01:15:26What?
01:15:27We're in Hope Valley.
01:15:28And?
01:15:31When we met Hebden at the quarry,
01:15:33he said he was taking a shortcut from work.
01:15:36Both Waters' offices down in Hope Valley.
01:15:39Look, remember the map?
01:15:41Come on.
01:15:42Driving through the quarry takes me in the opposite direction.
01:15:45What are you talking about?
01:15:47Just drive and I'll explain.
01:15:48Drive!
01:15:49Drive!
01:15:49Drive!
01:15:49Drive!
01:15:49Drive!
01:15:50Drive!
01:15:51Drive!
01:15:51Drive!
01:15:52Drive!
01:15:53Drive!
01:15:54Drive!
01:15:55Drive!
01:15:55Drive!
01:15:55Drive!
01:15:56Drive!
01:15:56Drive!
01:15:57Drive!
01:15:57Drive!
01:15:58Drive!
01:16:06Richard Hapdon.
01:16:11We need a word.
01:16:12We need a word.
01:16:13Word.
01:16:16Michael!
01:16:17Check the window.
01:16:20Check the window, Michael Michael
01:16:35He's running mr. Hebden Michael
01:16:41Mr. Hebden stop you're under arrest turn round turn round
01:16:50I
01:16:59We were in Hope Valley earlier
01:17:02Tell us about the shortcut through the quarry you take from work, please. Yeah
01:17:08It's saved me a few times that why do you ask?
01:17:14Turns out in actually a shortcut
01:17:16Takes you in the opposite direction. You see why lie to us mr. Hebden?
01:17:25You see we have neil's phone and I think we'll find messages on there between you and him
01:17:30Arranging to meet up at the quarry on the night. He was murdered. I didn't meet with Neil. I swear
01:17:37When did you find out he decided to stay at with us?
01:17:39He wasn't he was selling up
01:17:41We think he rang you and he wanted to meet up and he was gonna tell you he changed his mind
01:17:46And you saw your plans fall into pieces because if Neil didn't sell then no one else would follow suit
01:17:53Firth water would start having to look at other sites and you'd be stuck in with us forever
01:17:58So you agreed to meeting him. I certainly did not
01:18:01Come on Michael. I'll be on the phone. Stop this, please. I know you don't have it. You're bluffing. I can tell
01:18:08You thought you threw Neil's phone away when you killed him, right?
01:18:12But that was actually Emma Runshaw's phone because Neil took hers by mistake. So she had his
01:18:19And uh, well
01:18:21Now we have it
01:18:22This is ridiculous. Emma Runshaw disappeared years ago
01:18:27Well, we had a conversation with her this afternoon, Michael
01:18:29We can keep this up all day if you want
01:18:31Shall we jog your memory? Okay, so Neil tells you he isn't selling
01:18:34You've got border rats hounding you day and night
01:18:37Lucas Oxley is one of those rats and he's a man who can do a lot more than just threaten you
01:18:42So you panic and you realize you need to get Neil to change his mind no matter what it takes
01:18:47Yeah, and you've got these thoughts going around your mind and then you see reverend Alton and you know where he keeps his stuff
01:18:53And you take it Michael then you arranged to meet Neil at the quarry and when you see him
01:19:08What went wrong
01:19:12Neil was sorry
01:19:14He really was
01:19:17But he felt bad selling up
01:19:18It was his family home. It was where all his memories of his parents were
01:19:24He just couldn't do it
01:19:27And then?
01:19:30Michael
01:19:33He was such a nice person
01:19:38Unusually kind
01:19:43I suppose I thought he'd come around to my way of thinking
01:19:47But he didn't
01:19:48But he didn't
01:19:54And suddenly I was
01:19:55I was swinging that staff
01:19:58As hard as I could
01:20:01Why did you take the staff away with you?
01:20:07Why did you take the staff away with you?
01:20:11Was it to try and frame Lucas Oxley?
01:20:14I knew there would be an investigation and I knew his name would come up so I dumped it in that stupid bonfire of his
01:20:24And God knows I gave you enough hints to go and look for the bloody thing
01:20:29Why did you drive up to the quarry?
01:20:31Why did you drive up to the quarry the next morning?
01:20:36I thought I might have left some evidence I was going to look around
01:20:39I had already panicked and thrown away the phone
01:20:41But you know what?
01:20:45Whatever I did
01:20:48This is on them as well
01:20:51The village
01:20:53The border rats
01:20:54They drove me crazy
01:20:57I just couldn't think straight anymore
01:21:12The rats aren't coming Lucas
01:21:16Move on
01:21:18This is private property
01:21:22You murdered Lily and buried her in the church grounds
01:21:25And if it weren't for Neil accidentally digging her up
01:21:29You would have got away with it
01:21:32Lucas Oxley
01:21:33I am arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Lily Oxley
01:21:37You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned
01:21:42something which you later rely on in court
01:21:45Anything you do say may be given in evidence
01:21:48You don't know what you've done
01:21:49You don't know what you've done
01:21:51Your prints were on Lily's bracelet Lucas it's on from
01:22:14I dropped by because I wanted to tell you the news in person
01:22:26You found Emma?
01:22:28It's more that we're closing the file on Emma
01:22:31You can't do that
01:22:32We need her back
01:22:33She belongs with us
01:22:36Yeah she won't be coming back
01:22:39Why would you say that?
01:22:40I found evidence that Emma ran away
01:22:45She had the help in the shape of Neil
01:22:47She's alive
01:22:48So he took her?
01:22:50What Neil did Mr Runshaw was an act of kindness
01:22:52He was a good person he just wanted to try and help people
01:22:55What the hell are you talking about?
01:22:57If she chooses to live a life away from you then that is up to her
01:23:00That's our baby girl
01:23:02What she is Mr Runshaw is an adult and if she wants to be free from both of you then
01:23:05You have to learn to respect that
01:23:26Well deserved
01:23:27There we go
01:23:31Cheers
01:23:32Cheers
01:23:35Oh that's good
01:23:42How were the runshaws?
01:23:44Mental
01:23:46And yeah angry
01:23:49But I officially closed the case on Emma
01:23:52Just in time to open a new one against your ex yeah
01:23:55Listen I know you don't want to hear it but that's the best thing to do get him on stalking
01:23:59Let me just do it my way first yeah
01:24:01I want to I want to wait him out
01:24:03Ah
01:24:06Derek Alton took five years to come to his senses
01:24:08Look I thought we were supposed to be celebrating
01:24:10You got Lucas Oxley
01:24:12He'd have made your dad proud
01:24:15Yeah did something right
01:24:17You've done loads of things right
01:24:21Ben
01:24:21If you want to bounce around new ideas about your dad's kids
01:24:26No no no point it's a dead end
01:24:31Are you sure?
01:24:33Yeah
01:24:34Yeah
01:24:35Yeah um
01:24:40I said I'm just gonna
01:24:42Yeah
01:25:05I can tell that you've had some upheaval in your life something recent
01:25:16And you may have to overcome some hurdle
01:25:19But after that things will definitely change
01:25:24Now most people get spooked when they see this cat
01:25:27But don't worry it can mean the death of something negative
01:25:32Or the end of a long and arduous road
01:25:35But whatever it is
01:25:38I think you have much to anticipate
01:25:41Even to look forward to
01:25:44I'll take that
01:25:47Are you new to Edendale or just passing through?
01:25:51Well we're passing through
01:25:55But you know what?
01:25:57I think I might hang around for a bit
01:26:02No warrant
01:26:03No rights
01:26:05There's not much I haven't seen
01:26:06Even murder
01:26:07Death is death
01:26:08Two women were attacked in the same area within a few weeks of each other
01:26:12What's the connection?
01:26:14It's time to come on don't you think?
01:26:16Get out of here now!
01:26:18You should've listened to her
01:26:19You should've listened
01:26:20But I didn't
01:26:21And it's too late
01:26:23In the case of the murder of Joe Cooper
01:26:27Do you admit to perverting the course of justice?
