00:00We're being targeted constantly.
00:03Mr. Benson, two men have been found dead on your land.
00:06If you have any trouble with my alibis,
00:09I'm sure Sergeant Mackey would vouch for me.
00:12Do you remember Saskia Bale, who had her charges dropped just like that?
00:16Was she maybe ever fostered by the Mackeys and then used?
00:20They've had a discreet request regarding Saskia.
00:23What sort of request?
00:25Mackey and the Bensons had a connection 20 years ago,
00:28and there's one now.
00:29Donna Roha, Zav Palmer's ex. We interviewed her.
00:32She saw Zav the day he died.
00:34What about her?
00:35She's gone missing.
00:36Mum?
00:37Has she gone?
00:39That's one way to spread the word.
00:59The state workers say the suspect's of average height.
01:10It's in a hood, a mask and dark clothes.
01:14He's chased into the woods and then lost.
01:28We're checking the roads in case they left a vehicle.
01:31Where's Sam?
01:32Not here yet.
01:33Well, I mean, it's another form of graffiti, isn't it?
01:37Except this time it's close to where Todd Drake and Zav Palmer's bodies were found.
01:41You mean an out and out accusation?
01:43Well, what else does Benson's kill in this location mean?
01:47Could be someone trying to deflect suspicion away from themselves.
01:50Yeah, like whoever broke into excess with Zav and Todd.
01:53Did the trio turn on each other?
01:55Gawping at it won't get them found.
01:57Mr. Benson, we're just discussing what it might mean.
02:01It's the same as it ever is.
02:03It's about the pesticides.
02:05I told you before, they're obsessives.
02:08And the bloody lucky we had that rainfall.
02:11Well, this whole hillside would have gone up.
02:13Your night patrol swung into action, though.
02:16Not fast enough for my liking.
02:20Why have you got your shotgun?
02:22In case I see a rabbit.
02:24Can I advise you to leave the policing to us from now on?
02:27We don't want any accidents.
02:29Well, can I advise you to get your finger out?
02:32My family are being victimised.
02:37Earlier on, I was interviewing the kids that were partying up here
02:39the night Zav Palmer died.
02:41And Iza, the girl you rescued, said she saw Finn there.
02:45Finn Allen?
02:46Yeah.
02:47She didn't want to give his name up either.
02:49I don't know.
02:50I might be wrong, but he was a bit of a campaigner
02:52after last year's flood, wasn't he?
02:54And Sophie and her friends are into that now.
02:56I mean, why else was he up here?
02:58Thirty-plus, six-form girls.
03:01Bit young for him, aren't they?
03:03Hmm.
03:04Thing is, Donna doesn't have many friends,
03:07and I've rung around the friends she does have,
03:09and no-one has seen her.
03:10Well, we're doing everything we can,
03:13and we'll be in touch as soon as we hear it.
03:16Look, I know it's hard and you want to get involved,
03:19but you have to trust us to do our job.
03:21Now, let's go back over some of the details.
03:27Have those girls been having another mad party?
03:29The Moors have been on fire again.
03:31You don't double in wacky-backy and mushrooms, do you?
03:43Because you getting into trouble is the last thing your grandad needs right now.
03:46He's told you then, has he?
03:48He's told you he's dying.
03:50Your grandad's very poorly.
03:54He's dying.
03:55Found the letter last Friday.
03:58Well, then why are you giving him a hard time?
04:02I'm not.
04:04We went fishing and made an agreement.
04:08Go and keep it in, let it out.
04:10He knows I don't mean it.
04:12And look, I'm making him a playlist.
04:14He was in my eye scan tomorrow.
04:16He said take him music because he got all them,
04:19all them magnets whizzing around that's really noisy,
04:21and this is his favourite stuff.
04:23Oh.
04:24Human League.
04:26Very good.
04:27Sheffield Band.
04:28Met my nan at one of their gigs.
04:30Oh, mate.
04:31It's lovely.
04:32But listen to me.
04:34They're trying out new treatments all the time.
04:37They said he's too far on.
04:40But he doesn't want Mum to know that.
04:43If she comes back.
04:45Of course she'll be back.
04:46And how's he gonna hide it from her?
04:49Yeah, overall very impressive.
04:52Eh?
04:53You taste the music.
04:55Oh, yeah.
04:57They've gone.
04:59No update.
05:00They just want another photograph.
05:03All right.
05:04She'll be back.
05:05Hmm.
05:06She will?
05:07Yeah.
05:08Sorry for being a dickhead, Grandad.
05:11Yeah, well, we all have our weaknesses, eh?
05:14Yeah.
05:15Like orchestral manoeuvres in the dark.
05:18Morning.
05:19Can I ask you something?
05:32No, Mum.
05:33I'm in a rush.
05:34Right.
05:35No, it won't take a sec.
05:36Only, you know, some people think the council is know everything.
05:38And on this one, I haven't got a clue.
05:39Oh, right.
05:40Here we go.
05:41Here we go.
05:42Look.
05:43Right.
05:44The Bentons kill slogan, burning on the hillside, means what?
05:48Oh, we don't know, but they've had environmental activists targeting them recently.
05:53Environmental activists?
05:54The Bentons gave us the flood wall.
05:56Oh, yeah.
05:57They also own excess chemicals.
05:58Excess chemicals?
05:59Not something they broadcast because it attracts protests like that, but...
06:03No, no, no, no.
06:04No, no, no, no.
06:05Pat is bringing Eve to the station before she goes to nursery and I want to see her.
06:08No, hang on, hang on, hang on.
06:09We found out yesterday the river is full of pollution.
06:13Mum, I...
06:14Two seconds.
06:15Please.
06:16Just, please.
06:17Look, right, these test results came through from Lyle, right?
06:19I mean, it's all gobbledygook to me, right?
06:21I don't really understand any of it, but essentially it is saying
06:24there are horrible forever chemicals in the water running through our town
06:29and these chemicals were banglite 20 years ago.
06:32So, where are they coming from?
06:34That's the question, except now you've just said that,
06:37what about from Excess three miles upriver?
06:41Yeah, okay, that is interesting.
06:43Yeah, I'll feed that in.
06:44Yeah, I mean, maybe that's what the science aren't about,
06:46because these chemicals are toxic.
06:49Okay, Mum, listen, you said it yourself, right?
06:51You don't understand this stuff.
06:52So, if folk ask you about the fire on the hill, you just say,
06:55we don't know, we're looking into it.
06:56And then you leave it at that, all right?
06:58I mean it.
06:59Right.
07:00Cross your heart, I hope to die.
07:01Huh?
07:02Cross your heart.
07:03Oh, my God.
07:05And now I actually am late, so...
07:07Come on.
07:08Bye.
07:09Bye.
07:10You got a big box out here?
07:12Oh.
07:22I've got a big box out here.
07:24You got a big box out here?
07:41I'm going to play.
07:42You got a big box out here.
07:45I nearly lost another one. Have you seen Joe yet?
07:55Not yet.
07:56No. Will you tell her we've stopped by?
07:59Will do.
08:06Hi, Sandra. It's Phil Mackie. How are you?
08:09I haven't seen you for a while.
08:12Yeah, listen, I know you're up against it, so just a quick question about a data request.
08:19Hello?
08:20Mr Sellers, it's DC Marshall. The break-in at your plant?
08:24Yes.
08:25Is there any news on the guest pass that was used to gain entry?
08:28Yeah, so there were three passes that were unaccounted for.
08:32We located two of them and confirmed that neither of those were used.
08:36The third is a dead end because the attempt we issued it to lost it on our last day,
08:41so there's not much we can do.
08:44Contact details for this woman. Now.
08:50Okay. Our absolute priority is to find Donna Rower. Yes?
08:54Yeah, she's vulnerable. She was romantically linked to Zav Palmer,
08:58possibly the last person to see him alive,
09:00but has now been missing for over 35 hours.
09:02So an obvious concern is could she be another victim?
09:05Or the person who pulled that stunt last night.
09:08Either way, find her.
09:10Er...
09:11Yes?
09:12I've got a lead on the guest pass used to break into Exus.
09:14Chase it.
09:15Er, yes, er, also, erm, I gather that tests on the river indicate
09:18that there could have been a chemical spill,
09:19and I'm just thinking we should talk to someone at Exus about that.
09:22I'll call them now. You go after that guest pass.
09:25Yep.
09:26Joe, I'll come with you, yeah?
09:27Sure.
09:30You didn't come out to the Moors last night?
09:32No. I didn't see the text until this morning.
09:38I've still not heard back from Donna.
09:40You know, no news is good news isn't always true, is it?
09:44Come on.
09:51No swimming signs have gone up.
09:53Mm. Oh, Lyle dropped off a whole load of them water testing kits
09:56at my place.
09:57Well, she'll have to keep testing then, eh?
09:59Yeah, but she hasn't told us how to use them.
10:01Well, ring her.
10:02I've tried. I can't get in touch with her.
10:05Oh, this is a good one.
10:08Did you know the Bensons own Exus Chemical Works?
10:11Yeah.
10:12Yeah, I think I heard it once. Why?
10:14What do you mean, why?
10:16We've got a river full of chemicals.
10:17Oh, I see. Right. Yep. Yep. True.
10:19Right, so what do we do?
10:22Do we get the Environment Agency onto them?
10:24Yeah, could do, yeah.
10:25You could do, but the trouble with the EA is
10:28they warn companies in advance for when they're doing a spot check.
10:31Warn them in advance? What's the point of that?
10:34It's hopeless.
10:36It gives them time to cover up and clean up.
10:38That's ridiculous.
10:40Maybe I should give the Bensons a Molly Marshall spot check.
10:43Turn up unannounced.
10:45Maybe you should.
10:47Anthony Rower, please.
10:49You're welcome.
10:50OK.
10:51Good luck.
10:53He's got a very good playlist,
10:55but I'd skip track four.
10:57Hi.
10:58Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm not a believer, so I don't want to waste your time.
11:08But yeah, all the best.
11:10No, Miss Smith, I'm Detective Sergeant Bradley. This is DC Marshall.
11:14We're not Jehovah's Witnesses.
11:16We're making enquiries about the Exus keycard that you lost.
11:19Oh, sorry.
11:20Erm, yeah, Exus called about that yesterday.
11:23And I told them I don't know where it is, and I don't remember losing it.
11:27So, I'm afraid I can't help.
11:29Well, let's see about that.
11:31You worked as a temp for Exus, didn't you? For how long?
11:33A month. I was covering someone's maternity leave.
11:37So, when did you lose the guest pass?
11:39Oh, well, I had it in the morning on the last day.
11:42Erm, but then when I got back from a working lunch,
11:44reception had to let me in, cos I couldn't find it.
11:46Where did you go for lunch?
11:48Oh, erm, the Lord Stanley Oak, the pub off the High Street.
11:52OK, erm, look, we might come back, but thank you.
11:56Thanks.
11:58Finn Allen works at the Lord Stanley Oak.
12:01Who's Finn Allen?
12:02Er, his grandparents died in the flood last year.
12:05He's erm...
12:06He's like a climate activist,
12:08and he was at the party on the Moors
12:10the night that Zav Palmer's body was found.
12:12OK, run a check on him.
12:13Yeah.
12:14Have you got his address?
12:15Er, yeah.
12:24You're through to the counter-terrorism unit.
12:26Counter-terrorism unit?
12:29Bring him in. Request backup.
12:31Joe!
12:35Joe!
12:36What is this?
12:37Come on.
12:38How can you let this happen, Joe?
12:39I've done absolutely nothing!
12:40I've done nothing!
12:41And you're just standing there!
12:42You go.
12:43You have my total fucking contempt!
12:46Nice work.
12:47I've told you!
12:48I don't know anything about any key pass, or key card, or whatever you want to call it.
13:04You sure about that?
13:05Absolutely sure.
13:06Yes.
13:07It was an Exus guest pass, with the big X logo on it.
13:10Like the graffiti round town.
13:16OK, moving on.
13:17For the purposes of the recording, I'm showing Finn a picture of Zav Palmer.
13:22We have a witness who said they saw you at the party on the moors, near to where the body was found.
13:27Were you involved in the murder of Zav Palmer?
13:30Was I...
13:31No.
13:32No, I wasn't.
13:33Were you involved in Todd Drake's murder?
13:35No!
13:36I mean, like, I didn't even know them.
13:38How come you came to be there, then?
13:40I was invited.
13:41Who by?
13:44How about Sophie Kamali and her mates, who've been protesting about the Heatherburn and harassing the owners of Crossdale Estate?
13:50You were aware of that, no?
13:52I suppose, yeah.
13:54Did you encourage them to do those things?
13:56No.
13:57Were you recruiting them to the cause?
13:58Is that why you were there?
13:59God.
14:00Look, I wasn't...
14:01I wasn't even gonna go.
14:03Why not?
14:06Because...
14:07Like...
14:09Sophie has...
14:11Sophie has this thing for me, OK?
14:14Which is, like, a bit embarrassing.
14:16I mean, she's lovely, but she's 17.
14:19So I told her, no, I'm not going.
14:22Then I found out that her and her friends were planning to, like, take mushrooms and...
14:31So, after work, when the pub's short, I decided to go and check on them.
14:35And there they were.
14:36Just, like, a bunch of six-formers off their faces with Declan Rower so pissed he kept falling over everywhere.
14:41But other than that, they were fine.
14:44So I didn't hang around.
14:46Not receptive to being recruited.
14:49Oh, my God!
14:50Why would I recruit anybody?
14:51Eh?
14:52Like, I don't have a cause!
14:55Right.
14:56Well, all records say different because in 2023 you were arrested at a climate protest for aggravated trespass and obstruction of a highway.
15:03Yeah, like, that was over two years ago.
15:06And that was the last time you were involved in any sort of activism?
15:09Correct.
15:10Right.
15:11I heard you got pretty worked up last year after the flood.
15:16My grandparents died, innit?
15:19What do you get worked up about?
15:22My point is, you were still active.
15:27Joe, the print's on the gun. They're not Finn Allens, so it's all circumstantial.
15:51Unless you've got something on him, we're gonna have to let him go really soon.
15:54Nothing yet.
15:55Oh, God.
16:24Hi, Miss Smith. It's Dias Bradley. We met earlier.
16:43Oh, hello.
16:45The person you met for your work and lunch at the Lord Stanley Oak.
16:49Can you tell us who that was, please?
16:51Yes, she's a teacher at Waterside Girls.
16:54She'd wanted to organise a school trip to the excess plant for sixth formers.
16:58Can I have her name, please?
17:00Yeah, of course. It's Lyle Ellis.
17:03Is she doing a runner?
17:16Lyle Ellis!
17:17Can I have her name?
17:18Lyle!
17:19Oh.
17:20I need to be in line.
17:23Lyle!
17:24Lyle!
17:25Oh, my God.
17:55So, great year for you, a shit one for me.
18:07Talking of shit, how is Westminster?
18:10I prefer the constituency.
18:12A lot more opportunities.
18:13Yeah.
18:14Government's relaxing, planning regulations.
18:18Apropos of which, you didn't go bankrupt over uplands, did you?
18:23Yeah, I did, actually.
18:25But tell me it was lifted last month.
18:28Good.
18:29Thank you for your concern.
18:31I ask, because I'm looking to put you forward as a developer who understands the needs of tomorrow.
18:37A lot of lucrative projects coming up.
18:40This is your way of making amends for throwing me under the bus, is it?
18:43Okay, I see.
18:45I'm not with you, sir.
18:46Okay, well, let me spell it out for you.
18:49Mackie lost me the uplands project.
18:51Orchestrated the whole thing.
18:53Probably because I was fucking you.
18:55Don't be ridiculous.
18:57He's good friends with Alan Benson, isn't he?
19:00Well, he knows him, but so what?
19:03Well, it's just that Alan Benson owns the investment company that shafted me.
19:07I mean, their timing was impeccable.
19:09Pulled out at the worst possible moment.
19:13Almost as though they'd had a tip-off.
19:16And interestingly, you were the only person that knew exactly how much trouble I was in.
19:24I didn't tell them anything.
19:26Oh, I bet you talked to Mackie, didn't you?
19:28Yeah, of course you did.
19:29He would have passed it on to Benson.
19:31It was payback for me and you.
19:32Okay, so even if that were the case...
19:36It is the case.
19:38Then play the long game, Jack.
19:41Mackie and I are as good as over.
19:44Have been for a while now.
19:46So bide your time.
19:47We can leave all this behind us, team up together again and make some real money.
19:57It's all a bit vague though, isn't it?
20:00You see, I need to be surrounded by people that I can trust.
20:03And the question is, can I trust you?
20:07Because every time I put my hand in my pockets these days, there's not much there.
20:13And that's down to Mackie and Benson.
20:17And you.
20:26I'll, um, leave you to pick up the tab.
20:29I'm sure you'll be able to claim it back on expenses, eh?
20:43I was just about to call you.
20:45Hi.
20:46Listen, I made that call.
20:47Children's Services of Osaskia Vale.
20:49They're going to get back to me later today.
20:51And you're careful?
20:53Very.
20:54I just ran into Jack Radcliffe.
20:58Oh yeah?
20:59He seems to think you're the reason he lost his business.
21:02Oh, come on.
21:04He resorted to fraud to stay afloat.
21:06He's useless.
21:07That's why his business failed.
21:08So you didn't tip off Alan Benson?
21:11Because that's what he's saying.
21:13Yeah, well, Lamar mentioned a few things.
21:16Oh, for God's sake, Phil.
21:18Then he's out to make trouble.
21:20Right.
21:21Well, let's just nip this in the bud then, shall we?
21:23I'll see you later.
21:24Oh yeah.
21:28Huh?
21:29Yeah.
21:31Oh yeah.
21:36Oh yeah.
21:41Oh yeah.
21:41Oh yeah.
21:42Well, come on.
21:44Oh yeah.
21:45Oh yeah.
21:47Back door's broken.
22:09Vandals, probably.
22:11It is a bit rough around here.
22:13Hey.
22:13But I love what you've done with the place since your mum died.
22:18What do you want?
22:22Nah.
22:23What do you want?
22:25Well, at least this confirms that I can't trust your wife anymore.
22:29Maybe a touch more than you can, but...
22:31Steady.
22:36What's the game, Jack?
22:37Oh, it's quite simple, really.
22:39Do you know what? I'm thinking of marketing it as a board game.
22:40It's called I Want Back Every Penny I Lost on Uplands.
22:44Uplands filled because you're shit at business.
22:46You can pay all the Bensons can. I'm really not that fussed.
22:49Never gonna happen.
22:51Yeah.
22:53Wouldn't be too sure about that, you know.
22:56You see, when you've got fuck all, you've got nothing left to lose.
23:01Do you remember my caretaker?
23:03Nice chap.
23:05Took his own life.
23:07Or did he?
23:07Because you see, I heard the other day that that's not what happened.
23:12I heard that he was murdered.
23:16And guess who came along to help?
23:18And you heard that from who?
23:21Oh, now let me have a think. What was his name?
23:24Er, do you know what? I can't quite remember.
23:27Okay.
23:28Let me remind you.
23:29We're all dependent on each other.
23:30As I said, I've got nothing to lose.
23:33I was about your liberty.
23:34What's that without money, eh?
23:36You see, I have zero interest in trying to save your sorry ass anymore.
23:39In fact, I might make myself feel better if I was to turn you in.
23:43Just be very careful.
23:45Every penny.
23:48You've got 24 hours.
23:50Now fuck off.
23:51Hey Oksandra, that was quick.
24:15Yeah, because it was nice and simple.
24:17Er, the data request was made by someone at your end.
24:19The Waterside Police.
24:21Are you going to foster again?
24:23Ah, yeah.
24:25That'll be it.
24:26Great, thanks.
24:28Cheers, Sandra.
24:28All right, bye.
24:51Watch closely.
24:57And key card's gone.
25:00Stolen by you.
25:01You're not going to deny that that's you, I hope.
25:04And there's Finn Allen.
25:06You know Finn, of course.
25:08So, what, did you work together to steal the pass?
25:12No.
25:12Did you break into the Exos chemical plant with Zav Palmer and Todd Drake?
25:16No.
25:17No.
25:25Interview paused at 14.22.
25:26In 2024, you wrote about Exos online, and I quote,
25:33Exos chemicals peddle death on the open market, legitimately selling carcinogenic pesticides across the developing world.
25:41Want to deny you wrote that?
25:43Well, I'd deny it.
25:44It's true.
25:46But no one else cares, so why should I anymore?
25:48So it's just a big, fat coincidence, then, that an Exos chemical pass went missing at your place of work?
25:53It's a coincidence on my part, yeah.
25:55Did Zav Palmer or Todd Drake ever drink in your pub, remembering before you answer that we have CCTV for the past 30 days?
26:03And that you previously told me you didn't know either of them.
26:07Okay.
26:09I knew them.
26:11Yeah.
26:12We met at a, uh, grief counselling group.
26:17And we just got talking.
26:19And it's hard not to, he's having a mouth on him.
26:21What'd you get talking about?
26:22Exos.
26:27I think all things Exos.
26:29And, I think, at first I thought, great, you know, but then I realised that their interests weren't mine.
26:38All Zav wanted to do was break into the chemical plant.
26:40A complete waste of time, unless you know what you're looking for, which Zav didn't.
26:44Every time you got them together, he just, like, harangued them.
26:50Who's them?
26:52Um, Todd.
26:58You said them.
27:00Who else?
27:05Lyle Ellis.
27:06Lyle, we have Finn Allen in the next interview room, and he's just told us that you, Todd Drake, and Zav Palmer plan to break into the Exos chemical plant for some time.
27:18What have you got to say about that?
27:20Because this is a double murder investigation and you are a known associate of both the deceased.
27:24Also, an initial search of your house has found traces of an accelerant that we believe was used in last night's arson attack.
27:31Also, paint that matches the threatening graffiti found on the Benson's estate.
27:36And a mask and a boiler suit that are identical to the ones worn by three people who broke into Exos last week.
27:43So, do you want to explain to us what those items are doing in your possession?
27:49No comment.
27:50Right, um, for the purposes of the recording, I am showing Lyle CCTV images.
27:59Is that you breaking into Exos with Zav Palmer and Todd Drake?
28:02No comment.
28:05Okay, Lyle, I can give you one more chance to answer our questions, then I'm going to have to move things on, yeah?
28:11So, once more, is this you breaking into Exos?
28:16No comment.
28:17If that's the case, I'm going to have to charge you with theft, criminal damage, arson, and the murders of Zav Palmer and Todd Drake.
28:26No!
28:27I didn't get anyone!
28:29So, tell us what you do know, and what happened, and tell us now.
28:41I broke into Exos with Zav and Todd, yes.
28:45With that passkey, looking for evidence of illegal discharges in the river.
28:50But it went wrong almost immediately because Todd's epileptic and was having a seizure.
28:56So, so he had to call it off and leave.
28:59I helped get Todd back in the van, but then Zav took him off to hospital because his mouth was dragging and he was making these clucking sounds like he was having another fit.
29:11So, so they went off and I went home and the next day, well, I went swimming with Molly to keep up appearances.
29:22But I was getting more and more anxious because I couldn't get through to Zav or Todd.
29:26They, they weren't picking up.
29:27And then the next thing I hear is that Todd's turned up dead on the moors, on Benson Moorland, shot with a Benson gun.
29:37And I'm terrified because I still can't get in touch with Zav.
29:40I keep trying and trying, but he won't pick up.
29:43And then he turns up murdered too.
29:48And on the moors again, and he's been shot as well.
29:52And all I can think is that they saw us breaking into exodus and that they do have things to hide and they're killing us one by one.
29:59And, and that's why I haven't come forward because I don't want to be next.
30:09Lyle, can I ask you about the word murderers that was daubed on the Benson's house and Benson's kill up on the hillside?
30:17Did you do those?
30:19I did.
30:20Right.
30:21It's just considering what you're saying, that's quite a big risk.
30:24There are levels of PFAS, polyfluoractyls, way above the legal limit in the river, which must be coming from X's.
30:33And yesterday we found these other chemicals banned over 20 years ago.
30:36So what was it doing in our river and what would X's and the Benson's do to make sure that people don't get to know that?
30:54No, fuck off.
31:04Molly Marshall, Waterside Council, here to see Mr Benson.
31:08Is he expecting you?
31:09Oh good, he's in. Which way?
31:11Hello?
31:12Excuse me?
31:13Why, what have you done? Hello?
31:15Anybody home? Hello?
31:17Molly Marshall to see Mr Benson. Hello?
31:20What the hell is going on?
31:22I couldn't put it better myself.
31:25Can we get you something?
31:27No, you're all right.
31:28I was fortunate enough to know your husband.
31:31Really? He never mentioned you.
31:33Oh yes, yes, Brendan.
31:35He was a credit to the force, as I'm sure you are to the council.
31:39Oh, I drive and party. What everything done yesterday.
31:42I'm with you on that one. Life's too short for red tape, eh?
31:46Yeah, especially if you've got cancer, thanks to excess.
31:48Right, okay.
31:53If this is about last night's protest...
31:55It's about dead fish in the river.
31:57We've done tests, and there's perfluoro-octane sulfonic acid in the water.
32:00That's extremely worrying.
32:02Yeah.
32:02Just took a friend for an MRI.
32:04He was flooded out last year.
32:05Has leukaemia now.
32:06It's terminal.
32:07If you start making unfounded accusations...
32:09Dad, stop!
32:11You be careful who you pick a fight with in this room.
32:13Those chemicals cause cancers and are banned.
32:16Molly, listen, please.
32:17Exes only produce and use authorised PFAS.
32:20And yes, we do discharge some of those into the river,
32:23but only within the regulated legal limits,
32:25which we never exceed, and we can prove that.
32:28Okay, so who's putting the nasty shit in the water?
32:31Not us.
32:32Dear God, woman, would we risk a lawsuit that could ruin us
32:36when we don't need or have to?
32:39We wouldn't, would we?
32:41I will, though, take to the cleaners
32:43anyone who starts making false and groundless accusations against us.
32:48So careful who you pick a fight with, Molly Marshall.
32:55Said the philanthropist.
32:56Tomorrow's commendations.
33:03As Joe's sponsor, could you do the introduction, say a few words?
33:07Consider my arm twisted.
33:09Great.
33:10I wish Joe.
33:11You know, with her and Pat being separated and on the same team.
33:14Yeah, she's doing great.
33:15You know, she's a natural.
33:16She's an instinctive detective.
33:18Well, Pat, on the other hand, is...
33:20What?
33:22A bit unfocused.
33:24You know, I had to have a word with him the other day
33:25for looking into high-end car thefts from 15 years ago.
33:29Cold cases.
33:29Complete waste of time.
33:32Just...
33:42I wasn't going to mention anything,
33:43but it is going round that Joe might have a new fellow.
33:47Ah.
33:48Yeah.
33:49Look, it's good that the two of us know.
33:51You know?
33:51Duty of care and all that.
33:53Yeah, quite.
33:55Thanks.
34:19Computer records, please.
34:21What needs records?
34:22Records.
34:23Hey, Ian.
34:24Phil Mackey.
34:25How you doing?
34:25Ah, Phil.
34:26Yeah.
34:27Good, good, good.
34:28Can you send me up an old case of mine from 2010?
34:30Yeah, of course.
34:31Car thefts.
34:32It'll have Brent Marshall's name on it as well.
34:33Sure.
34:34Cheers.
34:35Oh, and, er, yeah, with any viewing records.
34:37Yeah, doing it right away.
34:38Thanks a lot, ma'am.
34:50All right.
34:51Shall we run this past Balsara?
34:52Yeah, um...
34:54I'm sorry, can I just ask her one more question?
34:57Yeah.
34:59How do you know that a shotgun belonging to the Bensons was used to shoot Todd Drake, but
35:05we haven't shared that information with you, so I'm thinking the only way you could know
35:10that is if you stole the gun.
35:17Okay.
35:18Change of story.
35:21Did you shoot Todd Drake?
35:23God, no!
35:24Did you shoot Zav Palmer?
35:25No!
35:25Were you in a relationship with him?
35:27With Zav!
35:27Or Todd?
35:29No, no.
35:31I didn't kill anyone, I swear it.
35:34I swear.
35:35But I did lie.
35:42Zav shot Todd.
35:58This is everything I know that happened, okay?
36:02We broke into Wexas in the early hours.
36:08We were looking for anything that could prove what they were dumping from the river.
36:13We'd not long been in there.
36:16When Todd has a seizure...
36:19We managed to bring him round and get him in the bank.
36:28We had no option, we had to leave.
36:30And we were feeling such frustration.
36:34Todd?
36:35We need to get in there and get nothing.
36:37We need to be in there with everything.
36:39We need to prove what they were doing.
36:40Todd?
36:42Todd!
36:43Zav!
36:44Zav!
36:45Zav!
36:51Todd!
36:52Todd!
36:52Todd, wake up!
36:54We need to call an ambulance.
36:57What was the point anyway?
36:58He was already dead.
37:03The sun was coming up and Zav was obsessed about getting away from the van and up on the
37:08moors.
37:09Zav!
37:11Oh, shit!
37:15From the Benson's estate.
37:16Setting the burn for next season's grouchy.
37:18And then he told me to wait there and he went off and he left me with Todd with a dead body.
37:29And anyone could have come along and he was gone for ages.
37:34And then he comes back and the estate workers who were doing the burn were miles away by then,
37:41thank God, because Zav's all worked up.
37:43And he's telling me to take off Todd's boiler suit, which I do because that sort of made sense.
37:53And then he shot him.
38:01Oh, my God, what did you do?
38:03Why did you do that?
38:05And then it was like he was crazy or something because he's telling me how he'd gone and stolen a shotgun from the Benson's.
38:12So that when he shot Todd with it, you'd think they killed him.
38:19And then I went home.
38:21And that is all I know.
38:23And...
38:23Again, I'm sorry.
38:29I'm sorry.
38:36Update from Path on Todd's cause of death.
38:38It's still inconclusive, but there's a note.
38:40The fact that the cause of death can't be determined is consistent with sudden seizures.
38:46So she could be telling the truth.
38:48Yeah, but now we know she can lie.
38:49Yeah.
38:50Also, Zav must have been killed by someone who knew Todd was shot after he died.
38:54Well, the only person we have who definitely knew that is Lyle.
38:56Any update on Donna Rower?
38:58No.
39:00OK, so what do we do?
39:01I mean, obviously, keep Lyle in, but what about Finn?
39:04Keep them both in.
39:05OK.
39:07I need to go and get Eve.
39:10Is there any news on Saskia Bale?
39:20It's confirmed.
39:21Saskia Bale was fostered by Mackie, so I'll look her up.
39:24Do you think she'll talk to us?
39:26Well, I've got to try.
39:28Come round later, yeah?
39:29Yeah.
39:30Come on.
39:42Come on.
39:44Come on.
39:48Jack wants pain off, which I'm working on, but he wasn't the one doing the digging on Saskia Bale.
40:15That was Pat. And it looks like he's making a pincer movement because he's also been looking into some old case files of mine.
40:22You said we could bank on Pat.
40:24Well, he's had enough payoffs over the years, so yeah. He needs reminding of that.
40:30What's Joe up to?
40:32I don't know. I'm not sure.
40:36And how is she and Pat?
40:39Still living separately.
40:40Let's not stray into talking about us.
40:46I need to know where we stand.
40:48Phil.
40:48I miss you so much.
40:50Phil.
40:50You've no idea.
40:50Stop. That's for another time.
40:56Find out what's going on.
40:58Knock, knock.
41:07Ah.
41:08Are we going fishing?
41:10Yeah, for liars.
41:13There's a brew there. You can have it.
41:14I've got to go and get some river water samples before it's dark.
41:18Milk's in the fridge.
41:19Oh, aye.
41:20Ta.
41:21Oh, no, no, no.
41:22No, no, no, no, no.
41:23Don't look at that.
41:24It'll spoil the surprise.
41:26Go over there.
41:27What for and what surprise?
41:29Well, if I told you that, there wouldn't be one, would there?
41:31It's nice.
41:32Well, me and surprises don't get on.
41:36I hate surprises.
41:37The only way I can enjoy them is if I know they're coming.
41:40Then I'm brilliant because I'm, like, not surprised.
41:43And I'm like, oh, great, thanks.
41:45What a surprise.
41:46So, come on.
41:48What's going on?
41:49Well, don't tell Pat I told you.
41:53He's getting some of your old workmates back together for your birthday.
41:56And I found out Nigel Inwood's back from Spain.
41:59But don't worry.
42:00I told Pat not to invite Tempo.
42:02Oh, come on.
42:04You'll enjoy it.
42:05I might even get an invite myself.
42:08I'll have a laugh.
42:09And shut the door on your way out.
42:11Ta-ra.
42:11Ta-ra.
42:41Ta-ra.
43:07Ta-ra.
43:08Ta-ra.
43:08Ta-ra.
43:10Ta-ra.
43:10I don't know.
43:40I don't know.
44:10I don't know.
44:17Not tonight, thank you.
44:19I mean it, OK?
44:20Just fuck right off.
44:22What's up?
44:23What's up?
44:24Yeah.
44:24Have a fucking guess.
44:26I've no idea.
44:27No.
44:28I saw you with Sarah Macca going into that bistro in town, opening the door for her.
44:34Molly, OK, that was business.
44:36Oh, Jack, please.
44:37You had your hand on the small of her back.
44:39Molly.
44:39Don't bleed in light of me as well.
44:41I'm telling you, it was business.
44:43Oh, go away.
44:43Oh, come on.
44:44Come here.
44:45Don't you dare.
44:46Don't.
44:47Just go away and leave me alone, OK?
44:54So, Balsara's night deeper.
44:55Can I borrow you for a sec?
44:56I'm thinking, oh, no, what have I done now?
44:58And he comes out with, does DC Marshall have a new bloke?
45:03What?
45:03Yeah.
45:04What did you say?
45:05I said I don't think so, sir, but frankly, it's none of my business.
45:10Do you, though?
45:11Oh, yeah, a couple.
45:13Are you kidding me?
45:14When would I have time for that?
45:15You get some nights off, don't you?
45:17Yeah, that's true.
45:18I could fit it in, actually.
45:20DC Marshall.
45:22Yeah, that's my case.
45:24Why?
45:24What have you got?
45:27OK.
45:28Yeah, great.
45:29I'll be with you in an hour.
45:32Um, they've arrested someone in Leeds, and their prints match our gun.
45:36Who?
45:38Hi, look, I'm sorry to disturb you.
45:40We've got a fingerprint match for the shotgun.
45:42They were picked up drunk and disorderly in Leeds.
45:44And get this.
45:46It's Donna Roa.
45:48Call me when you get this, yeah?
45:54Everything OK?
45:56Hmm.
45:58That was Joe.
46:01So go on, then.
46:02Tell me what you know.
46:03Tell me what you know.
46:32Can I do most of them in Leeds.
46:34What?
46:35Wait.
46:36Yeah.
46:36Yeah.
46:37Yeah.
46:38Yeah.
46:38Yeah.
46:39The lashes...
46:39Yeah.
46:44Yeah.
46:44Yeah.
46:45Yeah.
46:49Yeah.
46:50Yeah.
46:50Yeah.
46:51Yeah.
46:52Yeah.
46:52Yeah.
46:53Yeah.
46:54Yeah.
46:54Yeah.
