01:00If you could trim the hedges on the south field, then Lewis will sort the feeding and the bedding.
01:07It's decent of him to step in.
01:09Oh, that'll be him now.
01:14Morning. I'm DC Stewart. Is Moira dingling?
01:17Yes? That's me.
01:21Hello. I wondered if we could ask a few questions about Celia Daniels.
01:25Not now, I can't, no.
01:27Oh, I'm afraid it's important.
01:29Well, so is picking up my husband from hospital. He's just been discharged after being shot.
01:33I take it you work here too?
01:35Yeah, I'm Robert Sugden, part owner.
01:37Right, okay. Are all staff in today because I'll need to speak to everyone?
01:43Ross and Matty are in later. Max just got out of hospital.
01:47I know Victoria's got the day off. She's part owner too, but more of a silent one.
01:52Well, I'll need her contact details.
01:54She doesn't know anything that I can't tell you.
01:55Well, even so, I will need to speak to her directly.
01:58Well, I'll give her a call and tell her to come up.
02:00Any idea how long you'll be?
02:01No, sorry. I'm not rushing him, but once he's home, I'll answer anything you want.
02:06Well, I'll probably need to speak to your husband too.
02:09I'm sure he'll have a few things to say.
02:11Excuse me.
02:28Thanks.
02:29Gang aren't happy.
02:31I wonder if they're getting paid for standing around.
02:33How long's this going to take?
02:35Can't put a clock on it, Mr Milligan. Sorry.
02:37Drugs again. You emptied this place a few months back and you didn't find anything.
02:42Is this, um, is this anything to do with that Celia?
02:47These are for those two.
02:48Mm-hmm.
02:49And the others are on the way.
02:50Okay, thanks. I'll need the driver logs too, please.
02:54This is going to cost us a fortune.
02:56Yeah, tell me about it. I've got no choice to have one.
02:59It's like the van you drove you, did they?
03:01Yeah.
03:03Not going to find anything, are they?
03:05Like the ton of cocaine I picked up off Pablo.
03:07Okay, secure the area.
03:12We're going to need a full cordon and get Socko here immediately.
03:18We have a deceased male.
03:21Have either of you ever visited Celia's farm?
03:25Not me.
03:25Not me neither.
03:27Honestly, we had no idea what was going on up there.
03:31Well, we understand that Moira and her husband did go up to the farm the day after a very public argument in the Woolpack pub on December the 18th.
03:40Well, I wasn't in the pub, but I did hear that Moira was upset.
03:43Well, by all accounts, she was so upset that she slapped Celia.
03:47Do you know what they fell out about?
03:48I think it was a mix-up over invoices.
03:52Well, she didn't give you any details.
03:53Does that not strike you as unusual?
03:57No, because the poultry deals were their own side project.
04:00Only Moira signed off the contracts.
04:03And plus, she probably didn't want us to worry.
04:06The farm's had some financial problems recently, hasn't it?
04:10Do you mean the slurry leak?
04:11Hmm.
04:12Well, the local water was contaminated, so the water company fined Moira, and our investment into the farm helped pay for it.
04:19Completely?
04:21There wasn't any money to spare?
04:22No.
04:23Which is why Moira took the deals with Celia to help keep the place afloat.
04:28She must have been desperate to stop the farm from going under again.
04:31Well, wouldn't you have been?
04:32I mean, yeah, yeah, she was terrified.
04:34She nearly lost everything.
04:36This farm is her life.
04:38How desperate do you think Moira was?
04:42Look, I know how this could look if you didn't know Moira, but she wouldn't risk it all.
04:46Not on something dodgy.
04:47Not knowingly.
04:48We all want this farm to work, and we're proud of how it runs.
04:51There's nothing hidden here.
04:52No secrets waiting to come out.
04:54We're all above board.
04:56Especially Moira.
05:01About half one, quarter two.
05:05Did you happen to notice Mr Walter's car?
05:07A black four-by-four park no buy?
05:10I can't say I did, no.
05:13And once you parked at the village hall, where did you go?
05:15To Laurel's house.
05:17I wanted to borrow a bike lock off Arthur.
05:19That's Laurel's son.
05:21Oh, I mean, I was there for, what, around half an hour?
05:24Lots of arounds and abouts here.
05:27Well, I wasn't checking the time every minute.
05:29So, then you set off to go to Manchester?
05:33Yeah.
05:34Well, I had that job to do.
05:35And then I also knew that the bike shop shut at five o'clock, so...
05:39Well, I didn't get very far, though, because the road was gridlocked because of the crash.
05:44So, well, I parked the van in a lay-by, and I got a taxi home.
05:50I mean, you can check with the cab firm.
05:52We will.
05:53So, then you went back the following day, picked up the van and drove it straight here?
05:58Yeah.
05:59The CCTV will back me up.
06:01For everything that happened at the depot, yes.
06:03So, who else has keys to the vans?
06:07Well, there's two keys for each vehicle.
06:12Spares are kept in that lockbox there.
06:15But the other key for that van went missing a while back.
06:21Did you not report that?
06:22Well, waste your time.
06:24Look, stuff goes missing from time to time.
06:26It's never usually a big deal.
06:28Until now.
06:30So, the van was never left unlocked, either outside the village hall or in the lay-by?
06:35No, of course not.
06:37For insurer's purposes.
06:38And it was still locked when you went back the following day?
06:42Yeah.
06:43So, here's the problem, Mr Sharma.
06:46A dead body ends up in your locked vehicle, and you have the only available key.
06:50If you think I'd hide a dead body in my own van, at my own depot, I mean, well, that's just insane.
06:57Sorry to interrupt.
06:58You're on it.
07:00Right.
07:01Okay, the depot is a crime scene until further notice.
07:04I'll need a list of all staff, please.
07:07Is that it?
07:09We'll be in touch again.
07:11Please don't leave town.
07:12Is there anything you need to tell me?
07:19Like what, exactly?
07:20Well, you were the last person driving that van, and suddenly there's a body in there.
07:24It's freaking me out.
07:25Yeah, well, me too.
07:26But I can assure you, one million percent, it had nothing to do with me.
07:30I'm a lot of things, Caleb.
07:34But I'm no killer.
07:36Well, someone is.
07:38Nothing like a police investigation to increase profits, eh?
07:41Oh, no, I'm the house.
07:43Your need's greater than mine.
07:44Oh, thanks.
07:45Hey, um, just thought you'd want to know, a body's been found up at the depot.
07:56In one of the vans, the police are there.
07:59They haven't identified it yet, but they're talking like it's that ray bug.
08:05Sorry, I didn't see you there.
08:08Er, did they know what happened to him?
08:10He was wrapped in tarpaulin, so...
08:12He was killed?
08:13Honestly, I'm fine.
08:15Sorry, did they mention if anybody else was involved?
08:19Like, Celia?
08:21No, sorry.
08:23She'll still be out there, Paddy, just like your dad is.
08:26You all right, Dylan?
08:28I don't know.
08:30Are you?
08:30It doesn't make sense.
08:32How did he end up dead?
08:35Hey, how are you?
08:38Still breathing.
08:39You guys done?
08:40Yeah, I think so.
08:41Well, I need to go anyway, but, um, I'll see you all later.
08:47Hey.
08:47Hey.
08:48How'd it go?
08:49Wasn't too hard on you, was it?
08:50No.
08:51No, not really.
08:52Will you be okay?
08:54Well, I'm gonna have to be.
08:55We're tough as farm girls, though, aren't we?
08:58Thanks for coming.
08:59All right, so come on, then.
09:02Let's get this over with.
09:04I'll just wait for DS Walsh to arrive.
09:08Hello again.
09:09I'm leading this investigation.
09:11Oh, you'd be better off looking for Celia or that Ray bloke instead of coming in here
09:15hassling in some people.
09:16We are still looking for her.
09:18But not him.
09:19Seeing as you found his body at the depot, wrapped and stuffed in the back of a van.
09:23What?
09:23My brother owns the depot.
09:25Well, we can't confirm anything.
09:26We haven't formally identified the body yet.
09:28So, Mrs. Stingle, I think it's best if we get started with some questions, okay?
09:32But it is murder.
09:34The matter we're investigating is extremely serious, far more than routine.
09:39Every single detail counts, and we are relying on you to be entirely honest.
09:44Admissions, or half-truths, could land you in real trouble.
09:53So, even though she tried to con you, you still ended up in business together.
10:03How did that happen?
10:04Well, she was working for the Tates at home farm, and they were trying to get me to sell
10:09up.
10:10Then she double-crossed Kim and Joe and came clean to me about it.
10:15So, I thought maybe I could trust her after all.
10:17Stupid, really.
10:19Right.
10:19And then she started offering joint contracts.
10:22Yeah, she wanted to use my name and reputation.
10:25She had good contacts, so it was a win-win.
10:28And did you win a lot?
10:31Well, we were doing all right, yeah.
10:33You didn't question where the money came from?
10:35No.
10:36We had no reason to.
10:39Why do you think Celia was so keen to tie herself to your farm?
10:43I'm trying to work that out for myself.
10:45I suppose she was wanting to use my business as a cover.
10:50And it was on its last legs.
10:52I was an easy target.
10:53Just before Christmas, you attacked Celia in the Woolpack pub.
10:57Why?
10:57It wasn't an attack.
10:59I slapped her.
11:00I know I shouldn't have, but I was furious.
11:03I'd seen that she'd used my signature and was fiddling invoices.
11:08And I panicked because I thought she was going to drag my reputation down with hers.
11:11But I severed all ties with her after that.
11:13And do you often resort to violence?
11:15No.
11:16I just lost control.
11:18I massively regretted it.
11:19Why didn't you report that, the fiddling invoices?
11:23Because she was trying to buy my silence.
11:26She told me to take the money and carry on.
11:28I said no, and I know I should have reported her.
11:31But the truth is, I wanted rid.
11:35She was trouble, and I didn't know how far she was going to take things.
11:39I know I've made mistakes.
11:40But other than the contract, I am not part of her sick operation.
11:48You're fine.
11:49You sure?
11:50Well, he wasn't the love of my life.
11:52He's gone.
11:53I'll get over it.
11:54It seems like you already have.
11:55We're not even positive it's him yet.
11:57Better alive.
11:58Ray wasn't the man I thought he was.
12:00So there's no point grieving over somebody that, you know, you don't really care about.
12:04But you need to let something out, some emotion.
12:06Oh, Nicola, please stop going on about it.
12:08My head's so full.
12:09You've got customers anyway.
12:11This conversation isn't over.
12:14It's for me.
12:15You okay?
12:16Oh, God, you gave me a chill.
12:18I was just talking to myself.
12:19Um, why are you not at work?
12:21I've called in sick.
12:22Well, again, you can't keep taking sickies.
12:24You've got a job.
12:25That's not right.
12:26Well, after what you've done, you don't get to lecture me about what's right and wrong.
12:31Arthur.
12:31Um, you should know that Ray's body's been found.
12:39And I will dig out any copies of my contracts and paperwork.
12:43Would that help?
12:45There might be something in there to help you find Celia.
12:47Or Bear, even.
12:48That would be useful.
12:50Yeah, and I'm happy to come down to the station and answer more questions.
12:53Whenever.
12:54Appreciate it.
12:55We'll be in touch.
12:56Thanks again.
12:57Bye.
13:04Right, you.
13:05Bed rest.
13:07You've had a day and a half.
13:08Hmm.
13:09Says you.
13:10You did well.
13:11Hmm.
13:12Did I?
13:13I thought she was judging every single word.
13:15Well, it's just how they all look.
13:17Well, let's just hope that's the end of it, eh?
13:20We've got enough to think about waiting for your biopsy results.
13:23I'm going to dust off my dancing shoes when we find where his grave is.
13:29The horrors he put our April and Gillum through.
13:31I know.
13:32The beggars believe.
13:33They're just kids.
13:36They're so easily led.
13:37And those monsters took full advantage of that.
13:40Not just kids, though, is it?
13:41I can't believe that I fell for Celia's act myself.
13:44You're not the only one.
13:45They have smashed my family to bits.
13:48Oh, luck done in when she heard.
13:51I played everyone.
13:52Proper stitched you all up.
13:58One have you had?
13:59Oh, just the one.
14:00But I doubt this will be my last.
14:03Is Myra talking to them now?
14:06Oh, she's got so much going on.
14:08She'll be fine.
14:09Oh, hopefully.
14:10But what you said to the police about her is true.
14:12She loves that farm.
14:14She wouldn't be stupid enough to throw it all away like that.
14:17Well, whatever's happened, Myra's the victim, not the villain.
14:19If anyone's responsible for this mess, it'll probably be that of Celia.
14:25She'll have bumped her son off, done her on her, and left Moira tangled up in her.
14:29So Ray is dead?
14:30Yeah.
14:31Well, it's not confirmed yet, but...
14:33Yeah.
14:34I probably should have started with that bit.
14:36This is crazy!
14:36Yeah, tell me about it.
14:40Look, I'm gonna go to the toilet.
14:42I'll get us a drink and we'll have a proper chat, yeah?
14:44Yeah.
14:44You're singing Moira's praises now.
15:12That's not gonna help us, is it?
15:15I'm not letting her go down for something she didn't do.
15:17Moira Dingle.
15:19Drug barrel and slave driver.
15:20She's gonna get a slap on the wrist and that's it.
15:23Remember the plan.
15:25She needs no choice but to sell us that farm.
15:27Why are you helping her?
15:29You're making it harder for me.
15:30This was meant to be a tax fiddle for farmhand's wages.
15:33Now she's neck deep in people trafficking, drugs, and now murder.
15:38And weren't you absolutely certain that he was murdered?
15:40Well, seeing as they found his body wrapped up in the back of a van,
15:42I'd say, yeah, they're pretty damn sure.
15:45That's weird.
15:46What exactly did you see when you went up to Celia's farm?
15:50When I wasn't greeted with a corpse and I didn't murder him.
15:53If that's what you're thinking.
15:55I'm sure the police would be very interested to know
15:57that you were up at the farm the day before the farm raised body.
16:00I'm sure the police would be a lot more interested
16:01in watching a video of your sister stab John in the neck.
16:04Yeah.
16:08So, now that you're back in your little box,
16:11have the police found the evidence that you stashed yet?
16:15They're just questioning her.
16:16Let's hope they find it.
16:19What if they never search?
16:21And what if they search and they never find anything?
16:22Don't even think about moving those ID cards.
16:26We had a plan.
16:29Stick to it.
16:29Do you think Celia did it then ran off?
16:40Listen, you're going to have to speak to me before the police do.
16:43I'm worried about you, Dylan.
16:46I just can't get my head around it, all right?
16:50And I know I shouldn't care, it's just...
16:52No, you shouldn't.
16:54He was evil.
16:55He didn't stand a chance.
17:00What do you mean?
17:01With a mum like that, this...
17:02This all could have been different, all right?
17:05He didn't deserve to be killed.
17:10Dylan.
17:11Mate.
17:15You OK, love?
17:18Yeah, I'm fine.
17:19I'm just...
17:20I'm worried about him.
17:21I'd better...
17:22Let me know if we can help, yeah?
17:25It's horrible seeing him like this.
17:32I know, poor kid.
17:34It's going to take him time to get his head around being groomed and controlled, isn't it?
17:38I'm picking it all.
17:39But we can help, right?
17:40Yeah, of course.
17:43I hate to say it, but...
17:44I'm glad Ray's gone.
17:49Me too.
17:49I mean, he must have had a hundred enemies.
17:53Yeah, I suppose.
17:53Anyway, um...
17:55Leo was angling for a takeaway before.
17:57Smart kid.
17:59I can't really face cooking, so...
18:01Maybe I'll get your mum to make us a take-out from the pub.
18:04Staff discount.
18:05Whatever.
18:07Right, I won't be long.
18:08I can't...
18:09No.
18:22I can't...
18:23Joe Tate?
18:40Yeah. Come in.
18:42Thanks.
18:44I'm DS Walsh. This is DC Stewart.
18:47We'd like to ask you some questions relating to Celia Daniels.
18:51Okay. Can I ask why?
18:53Well, we believe you were the landlord to Celia and her son, Ray Walters.
18:57Yeah, that's right.
18:59Well, technically my step-grandmother, she owns the estate and I just help run the place.
19:06Yeah, they rented a property.
19:08Modern slavery. Horrible business.
19:12I mean, I'll answer any questions you have. Unfortunately, I won't be much help.
19:15I don't really know Celia very well. You should probably speak to...
19:19Ooh, have you spoken to Moira Dingle?
19:21Yeah, she was very, um, involved.
19:26Why the emphasis on the word involved?
19:29Ah.
19:30Probably shouldn't have said anything. Just listening to rumours.
19:33What rumours?
19:34Just that things weren't necessarily above board, you know? We looked into it as landlords. We didn't find anything, unfortunately.
19:42We all just know that they were thick as thieves.
19:45Thieves?
19:45It's a saying. You know, like, no smoke without fire.
19:51Coffee. Coffee?
19:52Coffee.
19:53Thanks.
19:54Please.
19:54What are you thinking?
20:15I'm thinking...
20:16When we get back, we should put a request in for a search warrant.
20:21Won't hurt to surprise Moira Dingle tomorrow.
20:23Have you asked how long it's going to take?
20:37Can you?
20:39The less I have to do with them, the better.
20:42They'll be dining out if they start digging into my past.
20:45Well, if you haven't done anything wrong, you've got nothing to worry about.
20:48There's no if about it.
20:50It has to be Celia.
20:52Now, Ray's dead, and she's gone missing.
20:55It is the only thing that makes sense.
20:57Even though none of this really makes any sense.
21:00Yeah, I'm not so sure.
21:01How would Celia get her body into one of our vans?
21:06I reckon it's someone closer to home.
21:07I wouldn't have to practice.
21:13I don't know.
21:13I don't have to do anything.
21:17I can still see him.
21:19I don't know.
21:20I don't know.
21:20I don't know.
21:21You are on with me.
21:21I don't know.
21:27I don't know.
21:28I don't know.
21:29You're on with me.
