00:00Criminals bustin' to work at your garden center.
00:02We're changing lives.
00:04We're changing this village.
00:05Someone dragged the sheets from under him,
00:07was with him as he died or soon after,
00:09which makes this a crime scene.
00:11Even if Natasha didn't kill my father,
00:13she is the reason that he's dead.
00:15This is hate mail.
00:16Think how bad it must have been
00:17for Dad to have called him Malcolm on his birthday.
00:19Kelvin Jones, you're under arrest
00:21for breaching the conditions of your release.
00:23When you came to our store, I thought you were there for her.
00:25Miss Avery.
00:26Kelvin always said that his boss was a perf,
00:28so I guess it made sense.
00:29Friends in the family.
00:40Er...
00:41Now the search for Kelvin's over, DCI.
00:44Any help you need, I'm... I'm right here.
00:47DS, follow me.
01:01Sorry, DCI. Did I, erm... do something wrong?
01:05You failed to disclose meeting the victim shortly before he died.
01:10Saturday night? I... we were gonna...
01:12Discuss the abusive emails, which you forgot to mention.
01:17Protocol DS.
01:18Yes.
01:20Sorry.
01:22I was just...
01:24overwhelmed.
01:26So, what next?
01:28The firewall?
01:31You, er... get anywhere with Peter's phone?
01:33Factory reset.
01:35It's a dodo.
01:36Er, then dig into his laptop,
01:39see if there's anything on there that shouldn't be.
01:45Oh, got a hit on Mr. Coffee Mug, boss.
01:49Ah.
01:50His biometrics were taken 15 years ago,
01:53when he was five.
01:54An asylum seeker?
01:55Arrived unaccompanied.
01:57Housed all over.
01:58Currently living in London.
02:01He'd be 20 now.
02:02His name's Bola Le Depot.
02:04Send uniforms round.
02:06Already did.
02:07He hasn't been home in a couple of days.
02:09Flatmates said he was visiting friends.
02:12He could have friends anywhere.
02:14Right, boss?
02:15Now, lucky I've got his vehicle registration.
02:17Oh, and also, boss.
02:22Peter.
02:23Heading north to Hallifield.
02:25He really does look haunted.
02:27You're not wrong.
02:29Yeah.
02:30Black suit.
02:31Flowers.
02:32He's in mourning.
02:34Carrying your low roses.
02:36I have a few candidates for whose funeral it might have been, too.
02:39Good work, Trent.
02:43Jade confirms your alibi, for now.
02:46She's a good girl, aren't Jade?
02:49She also said you called Mr. Baron a perv.
02:52Spending his days chatting to young criminals.
02:55It's not a cool look, is it?
02:56Yeah, it's the worst part of my job, by far.
02:58No.
02:59You're quite funny, you are.
03:01Jade's lying for you.
03:02God knows why.
03:04But she's given a convincing motive for you to kill Mr. Baron.
03:08I told you, I'm not a sociopath.
03:11No.
03:12But you could be a victim.
03:16No.
03:17No.
03:18I've been around too many pedos to ever let one lay a hand on me.
03:22He was a perv.
03:24Yeah?
03:24But not with me.
03:25If not with you, then who?
03:28That weird kid who works there sometimes.
03:32Talks like a TV doc.
03:34What's his name?
03:36Alfie.
03:37Archie.
03:38It's Archie.
03:40Archie Ellison.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Him.
03:42Definitely.
03:46Archie.
03:47What the?
03:48Why did nobody?
03:49He's there two, three days a week.
03:51Regular hours.
03:52Working hours.
03:53Right.
03:55Preliminary post-mortem, boss.
03:58Email it to me.
04:06Time of death, 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
04:09Fibers in the nostrils indicate.
04:11Suffocation.
04:12Intimate.
04:13Personal.
04:14Pathologist notes raise blood alcohol.
04:16No DNA.
04:19No sexual assault like nobody laid a finger on him.
04:22No.
04:23Just silenced him.
04:24So we've got our how and our when.
04:26Is the why what Kelvin said?
04:28Peter and Archie.
04:29You think it's true?
04:30Doesn't matter what I think.
04:31Somebody else thought so.
04:40Trent?
04:41Boss, the paint at the entrance matches the maker model of Chris Ellison's car.
04:45And Sir Avi here has been bending the judge's ear with new evidence.
04:48She's issued a warrant on the property.
04:50Good work, Trent.
04:54It's none of social services' business.
04:56Working at the nursery is good for Archie's socialisation.
04:59Is that right, Archie?
05:00Do you enjoy your job?
05:02The plants?
05:04It's okay, Archie, you can say.
05:09I'm good at biology.
05:10Not people.
05:12But Peter was fine.
05:14Fine.
05:15So you...
05:16You felt comfortable with Peter?
05:18Why would you ask him that?
05:20He knew some interesting walks.
05:22And interesting facts.
05:24I felt very comfortable with him.
05:26Until last week.
05:29When he told me I couldn't work there anymore.
05:32Archie, why didn't you tell she lost your job?
05:35We dropped you there on Saturday.
05:37Where'd you go?
05:37To his favourite place.
05:39The village.
05:40Then the nursery.
05:40But Peter was...
05:43Busy.
05:45Saturday was his birthday.
05:48And I don't fit in at parties.
05:55Come on, love, let's get you upstairs, eh?
05:57Yeah, you can take your game.
06:01He's obsessed with that thing.
06:10Where'd you get that?
06:11On the victim's person.
06:14Well, it's not Archie's.
06:15Well, we don't know that.
06:16Harper.
06:17Let's ask him, shall we?
06:22Archie!
06:25Archie!
06:26It's not like he was in a work camp.
06:29Archie!
06:30How are we to know where he was this weekend?
06:37Archie, he's gone.
06:48Well, where should we look now?
06:49The village.
06:50Lycans like a living in a village.
06:53Huh?
06:54Tell Sir Ravi to pick up the Ellisons and meet us at Ashtore.
07:05It is bleak.
07:07Now Jade may have a point saying this place is haunted.
07:26Chris, what if he, what if it's...
07:27I'll go.
07:28I'll go.
07:30I'll go.
07:30This is Ellison.
07:31Come on.
07:32I'll go.
07:33I'll go.
07:36I'll go.
07:47I'll go.
07:48All right, son.
07:49You got a bit pissed.
07:50Bit of a scare there.
07:53What is this place?
07:56It's where Peter brought Archie.
07:59I hear it's special.
08:01It's like a village.
08:03Peter said.
08:06Peter knew a lot of things that I don't.
08:09He knew about being scared.
08:12That's why he brought me here.
08:15He said it was the scariest place he'd ever been.
08:18The most beautiful.
08:21I'm sorry if we scared you Archie.
08:25I wasn't scared.
08:27I was sad.
08:31It's very sad.
08:32Peter dying.
08:35You were friends.
08:38He gave you that.
08:43He said it helped him get through bad times.
08:48I was sad for Peter.
08:51But mostly sad for my dad.
08:55Trevor, me? Why?
08:57A fine Archie.
08:59Not really.
09:03I've been sad and angry since we came here.
09:06Me being friends with Peter made it worse.
09:09And I thought, what if losing my job upset you more?
09:14So I came here to plan how to get my job back.
09:18But Saturday was his birthday.
09:22And Sunday?
09:27Sunday I just stayed in my room listening to you and mum arguing.
09:36Right Archie.
09:38Sir Avi's going to take you and your parents back to the station now.
09:42Don't worry.
09:43She's going to give you the full tour.
09:46Hm.
10:13No.
10:32I'm not happy.
10:32Don't worry.
10:33I'll be here.
10:39Maybe we can.
10:40You're not happy.
10:40You're not Norah.
10:42with Archie. Either Avery Barron didn't know her father very well, or...
10:47There's something she's not telling us, boss.
10:55Miss Barron, victim support has been trying to reach you.
10:59I'm fine.
11:01No, you're not. Nor was your father.
11:03The emails. Dad didn't care about anything.
11:07Your father took the weight of the world on his shoulders.
11:11And then the funeral on Wednesday.
11:14The... whose funeral?
11:18You didn't know your father went to a funeral last week.
11:21Okay. But...
11:24You knew about your father's friendship with Archie Ellison.
11:29And as a teacher, you knew it was...
11:34Unusual.
11:35Dad was...
11:36Unusual.
11:39You know, all he saw was a lonely kid who needed to talk.
11:42I told him that he had to fire him.
11:44I told him people wouldn't understand.
11:45Oh, but he reassured you, right?
11:50No, he...
11:52Called me a fucking hypocrite.
11:54Because you'd slept...
11:56With a pupil.
12:00That's why you denied he'd been upset recently.
12:03Because you thought you were the reason.
12:09Dad confronted me about it last week.
12:11He wouldn't say...
12:11How he knew.
12:14Um...
12:15Natasha, I thought.
12:17Irresponsible gossip.
12:19Hounding.
12:20Dad abusing her power.
12:21You abused your power.
12:23Your responsibility.
12:24You know who told your father.
12:26We need his name.
12:29He's got nothing to do with this.
12:35I was an NQT, 23, and he was nearly 18, and I broke it off.
12:40I blocked him.
12:43I'm a good teacher.
12:44Just the student's name, Miss Barron.
12:47I...
12:49I could resign.
12:51Sight burnout.
12:53Though...
12:53Female STEM teacher, my level, they...
12:56They'll beg me to stay.
12:58That he was special.
13:01Oh, brilliant.
13:02He came here as a refugee, and now he's...
13:05He's on a medical scholarship.
13:08I...
13:08Made that happen.
13:10His name.
13:14Follow the depot.
13:22Are they the yellow roses that Peter bought?
13:25And he took them to Ashtore for a reason.
13:36Trent Ashkamp.
13:37Yes.
13:48Trent, the scratch on Chris's car puts him at Mr. Barron's.
13:54Not sure.
13:56But you're Bola the depot.
13:58ANPR has him leaving Junction 26 at 16.02, 30 minutes from the scene.
14:03And Natasha was there Sunday.
14:05So now Bola was there too.
14:07An hour later?
14:09Boss, the dash cam.
14:10What?
14:16It's like you said.
14:17You make your choices for your kids.
14:20And you make it work.
14:22And, uh, has it worked?
14:25Social services harassing us.
14:27Trying to keep you lot at bay.
14:29And Archie not sleeping recently.
14:31Well, we know why now.
14:33Peter sacking him sent Archie into a meltdown every night last week.
14:37Why didn't Peter just tell me himself?
14:39Archie didn't want that.
14:40He thought their friendship made you angry.
14:44No, of course not.
14:48It's just...
14:50When you've got a son like Archie...
14:53Every smile matters.
14:55And Peter had them instead.
14:57Must have been painful.
15:00I was angry.
15:04But that doesn't mean I drove around there and killed the man.
15:08I know you didn't, Mr. Ellison.
15:12Miss Ellison.
15:15From the dash cam in your car,
15:18outside Peter Barron's house.
15:27Why Peter took our son away?
15:29It was the last straw.
15:34I went to his house.
15:36I told him to leave my family alone.
15:38And then I left.
15:39But you scraped your car,
15:40entering Mr. Barron's property.
15:42Just as the GPS placed you at the scene.
15:46Whether you meant to or not,
15:47you switched off your dash cam.
15:49So, unless someone saw you leave...
15:52There was someone.
15:53A young black man.
15:54Peter came to meet him at the door.
15:56So, this is Junction 20's.
15:57Look to the end.
16:09Sorry, Grace.
16:10Not now.
16:13I was going to invite you all for a drink
16:15as a gesture of...
16:16But I can see you're busy.
16:19I'll get out of your way.
16:21Stay.
16:22We may need all hands on deck to wrap this one up.
16:25Right.
16:26So, our Mr. Coffee Cup guy
16:29and only forensics we have from the scene
16:33is confirmed at the house on Sunday by Pippa Ellison.
16:38And extremely persistent.
16:40It's ANPR from 15 minutes ago.
16:43He's coming back to Washington.
16:45Follow the depot.
16:49Tips on the updates.
16:50Will do.
16:51You were spot on, boss.
16:53He's heading to Peter Barron's.
16:55Thanks, Trent.
17:02Follow the depot.
17:03Do not move, eh?
17:07I think the station's packed enough already, Chet.
17:11Stand down.
17:13I want to talk to you.
17:15All right.
17:17Then...
17:18Come.
17:26When I first came here,
17:29I was surprised
17:30places like this even existed
17:33for kids to just...
17:36play.
17:39When I read of Mr. Barron's passing,
17:41I...
17:42I had to come
17:42to pay my respects.
17:44Risky.
17:45This kind of scandal
17:46could ruin your chances as...
17:48Minister for Health.
17:49To start.
17:57I think this is yours.
18:02Teacher's pet.
18:04That's what she called me.
18:07She said I was...
18:10special.
18:12You sent it to Mr. Barron,
18:14looking for a reaction
18:15from her.
18:16No, from him.
18:18Childish of me.
18:19You were a child.
18:21You wanted what happened
18:22to be acknowledged.
18:23Instead,
18:24he wrote me
18:24a very kind letter.
18:26No.
18:28No.
18:29No.
18:30No.
18:32No.
18:33No.
18:33No.
18:39Betrayed her responsibility.
18:41Poisoned fruit from a poisoned tree.
18:43I particularly recall that phrase.
18:46He asked if you want to talk.
18:48So,
18:49Sunday afternoon,
18:50we drove here.
18:51He'd been drinking.
18:53I'd just buried
18:54one of his childhood friends
18:55that week,
18:55he said.
18:56One of his
18:57four musketeers.
19:01Only two of them
19:02left now, though.
19:04He said
19:04but a thousand regrets.
19:07We both carried that,
19:08you know,
19:10that shame
19:10for what we'd done.
19:14You have nothing
19:15to be ashamed of.
19:16That's what he said.
19:17Not mine to carry.
19:19But the shame
19:20belongs to
19:21the one
19:22who did the harm.
19:24She
19:24will never
19:26teach again.
19:39this years?
19:401991.
19:42It's a bit vintage
19:43for me.
19:50My God.
19:51Summer in England.
19:59Chris, Pippa and Archie Ellison, they...
20:03Phones locate them at home.
20:05And Bola Le Dippo has a solid alibi.
20:09Doorbell camera places him arriving at foster parents at 7.15.
20:13They confirmed he stayed the night.
20:15Another dead end.
20:23Preliminary report.
20:25Fibers in the nose and mouth indicate obstruction.
20:29Mechanical asphyxia likely caused by occlusion of the nose and mouth.
20:37Smothering.
20:39Intimate. Personal.
20:41And silencing.
20:47I won't be silent. We won't be silent.
20:50Shut up. Shut it down.
20:52You want us to be quiet, but we won't.
20:54Shut up.
20:55Be quiet.
20:56Same words, same phrases.
20:58Like they all came from...
20:59From the same person.
21:02Check it, Trent.
21:08Do you think it?
21:11Not Avery.
21:13Natasha.
21:13She knew about those juvenile offences.
21:15They're confidential.
21:16You're right, boss.
21:18They're from one IP address.
21:19All of them.
21:29The Malicious Communications Act make these chargeable offensives.
21:33That prove...
21:34I didn't kill Peter.
21:36The reason I'm interested in you, Miss Scope,
21:39the only reason,
21:41is you keep saying some candidates were unsuitable.
21:44They were.
21:45One boy was involved in a joint enterprise stabbing.
21:49Like that.
21:51There is no legal way for you to know their juvenile records.
21:55We've checked your laptop.
21:56Your phone.
21:58No one sent them to you.
21:59So, who is your source, Miss Scope?
22:03Joseph Ward.
22:07Your boss.
22:08Joseph loved Peter.
22:10Like, he loved this game.
22:11It changed his life.
22:13Maybe Joseph didn't love Peter that much.
22:15Maybe he loved being around criminals more.
22:18Like the one who showed up on his doorstep 3am Sunday morning.
22:21The one you've all been out searching for.
22:24I'm sorry, I'm...
22:26But, Kelvin Jones turned up at Joseph Ward's Saturday night.
22:32How could you possibly know that?
22:34Because she was sleeping with him.
22:38But, Joseph Ward?
22:41CPS will be in touch.
22:50It's just so much animal shit.
22:53Hey!
22:54I've got frosted ribs and everything, you know?
22:57Dead land walking.
22:59They're like the look.
23:01It's stunning as ever.
23:03Yeah, come on.
23:04What are you looking at?
23:09She's done.
23:10I'm getting you home now.
23:12Come on.
23:13Nice work, Trent.
23:15Good night.
23:16At first.
23:18What?
23:19Hey, where you going?
23:21What?
23:22Home.
23:23Put my kids to bed.
23:25What?
23:26But I didn't know you were...
23:29Yeah?
23:30Well, I never came up.
23:32Where else would I join the team?
23:35Flexi time.
23:36Mate.
23:37Night-night.
23:38Well, hang on.
23:38So you're coming back, right?
23:42Yeah.
23:43He's stuck with me.
23:44Lucky man.
23:46Um, how many kids have you got?
23:50Three and a half.
23:53For a cop, you're not very observant.
23:56Seriously, boss.
23:57We've got our work cut out yet.
23:59Here, here, here.
24:02Say hello to the kids for me.
24:05Oh, shit.
24:08Why do you never tell me anything?
24:09Just use your eyes.
24:13Calvin's ready in the interview room.
24:14Okay.
24:16We found these at Jade's.
24:17She's been handling your stolen credit cards, and you've been hiding out at the pub.
24:24So you were with her Sunday night.
24:26But Saturday, you got the relocating letter.
24:30So why are you still here?
24:31When I got the letter from Mr. B, I didn't know what to do.
24:34That's why you ran to Joseph Ward.
24:37No problem, JW.
24:38You couldn't sort.
24:40He was the clean-up and organized guy.
24:42I trusted him, but I guess you've got to respect the booty call.
24:50Wait till Monday, he said.
24:52It'll all be different.
24:53So I hid out at Jade's.
24:55Went to work Monday, then Mr. B's dead.
24:58Police is crawling with police.
25:00Joseph proper screwed me.
25:03Uh, 2012.
25:04DS Harper exits the room.
25:11Look, just...
25:12Please don't tell JW I snitched, okay?
25:15Because I've given you a lot of info there,
25:18which makes me a significant witness, doesn't it?
25:20That's got to be a couple of months off me sentence.
25:22Yeah.
25:24Tell Jade I'm an arsehole,
25:26because...
25:28I reckon she can probably do better.
25:30Don't worry, Kelvin.
25:32I definitely will.
25:38Forensics say it's the most professional crime scene cleanup
25:41they've ever seen.
25:41Right.
25:42What was he doing on Sunday night?
25:44Has he got any kind of alibi?
25:46Have we even checked?
25:48He sleeps with the victim's ex Saturday,
25:50sets up Kelvin Jones as a murder suspect Monday.
25:53Joseph Ward was the best crime scene cleaner in the business.
25:56Yeah, that's what he was sent down for, boss.
25:59Cleaning up after a murder.
26:01Oh, boy.
26:11Me and Natasha,
26:13I'm not proud of it.
26:16But the parish owns my flat,
26:18and Natasha runs the parish.
26:21So you fed her information to keep a roof over your head?
26:24And my job.
26:25Whatever it took for her not to tell Mr. P.
26:28No doubt you loved your job.
26:30Judging by your timesheets, you're usually first in, last out.
26:34Apart from Mr. P, yeah.
26:36I put the crack, as Kelvin put it.
26:39You don't like Kelvin, do you?
26:40He's a lying little shit.
26:42He's got a lot of time for you, Joseph.
26:44He called you the clean-up and organise guy.
26:50And he trusted you.
26:51He ran to your house Saturday when he was in trouble.
26:55A detail that you didn't whisper in my ear.
26:58I told him to go home.
27:01Which is exactly what Mr. B would have done.
27:02What you told him was Monday, everything would be different.
27:08Oh, yeah, but I didn't mean...
27:11No, I meant Mr. B would sort everything out for Kelvin.
27:16How could I have known if he'd be dead?
27:19It's just Mr. B, he trusted you too.
27:23Trusted you with the keys to his house.
27:26Yeah.
27:28But Mr. B never locked anything.
27:30Oh, so you came and went, free access.
27:32Oh, yeah.
27:33I only go where I'm invited.
27:36Right.
27:39Look, I loved that man.
27:42He literally gave me my life back.
27:44So what exactly do I get from killing him?
27:46It's not about what you would get, Joseph.
27:49It's about what you would lose if Peter found out.
27:52If someone, Kelvin perhaps, told him that you were sleeping with the woman out to destroy his life's work.
28:04I'm going to help you here.
28:07So Monday, you're first in long before Miss Scalp at 8am.
28:18I get to the house about 5.30, yeah.
28:21Like anyone, start of the week, you ask your boss what needs to be done.
28:25So you go to Peter's house, Peter's awake, he's been drinking, he's found out what you've done, and you argue...
28:31No, no, that's not what happened.
28:34I never argued with a word that man said.
28:37You said he hadn't been himself lately, and the door was left open that day.
28:43Which is why I went in, yeah.
28:45And then I saw the empty bottle of whiskey on the table, and that's not...
28:48One glass washed, one glass with scotch left in it.
28:52You picked it up.
28:53But I don't drink.
28:54So you emptied it down the sink.
28:57Then went looking around the house for Mr. B, found him, and panicked.
29:01Because I knew how it would look.
29:03Come on.
29:04The glass with your prints on it, you had to bleach that.
29:08Then you worried your prints could be anywhere.
29:12So you started cleaning up.
29:14Because that's what you do.
29:16Because I knew I'd be blamed.
29:18Framed.
29:20But I didn't kill him.
29:23The clean-up and organised guy on autopilot scrubbed the scene.
29:31Then left the door open, so Mr. B wouldn't be alone for long.
29:38And then you washed the sheets, yeah?
29:42What?
29:45Dame me for scrubbing the ass, yeah.
29:48And for doing his laundry.
29:52Nothing places him at the scene.
29:54Because he destroyed the evidence.
29:56I mean, why would he clean up after a crime he didn't commit?
30:00Because he couldn't bear to be accused of killing his best friend.
30:03Everything Joseph Ward did, the clean-up, passing info to Miss Scope,
30:07was to hold on to the life Peter Baron gave him.
30:11Okay.
30:12We are going to charge him, aren't we?
30:14We are.
30:15Failure to report.
30:16Obstructing an investigation.
30:18I'll take that.
30:19We hold him overnight.
30:21Ramp up the pressure tomorrow till he folds.
30:23Fine.
30:25So, what about that drink?
30:27You deserve it, DCI.
30:29The way you work this case.
30:30Go ahead.
30:32See you in a bit.
30:33I've got a couple of boxes to tick here.
30:35Yeah.
30:38Hey.
30:40Come on, you two.
30:53Sorry to bother you, boss, but...
30:55They're all celebrating at the pub.
30:57I'm not much of a drinker.
30:59And I know I'm only a probie,
31:01but I was looking through the Alison file before the hearing last Thursday.
31:04When dear Soliver was out of sorts.
31:07Uh, sorry, I just, uh,
31:09I think a senior officer should look it over.
31:11Okay.
31:12Thanks, boss.
31:13And the, uh, the SD card from the crime scene you asked for.
31:17The original images, my, uh, my CSI friend.
31:20Came through.
31:22Sounds like a keeper.
31:24Ha.
31:26Ha.
31:26Ha.
31:27Ha.
31:28Ha.
31:42The cycle takes two hours, forty-two minutes.
31:54And the noise.
32:07Four.
32:24Poor musketeers.
32:481991, it's a bit vintage for me.
33:19It's a bit vintage.
33:19Right, Saravi, suck old friend.
33:22Come on.
33:23Pictures are all here.
33:26The album.
33:38Oh, Dad.
33:39Look at you there.
33:41Just a little kid.
33:46The birthday card.
34:00Here you are.
34:02Oh, thank you.
34:03I'll take it.
34:06Cheers.
34:07Cheers.
34:08Cheers.
34:11Oh, Mum.
34:12I, uh...
34:13Thanks, but no DS.
34:15Haven't any start in the morning?
34:16Family?
34:17Oh, well, understood.
34:19Well, incredible work, DCI.
34:23Joseph Ward.
34:25Means.
34:26Motive.
34:27Right place, right time.
34:29It's all about the timeline.
34:34Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
34:35Must order's in the farm, please.
34:39Two coffees to go, please, Jade.
34:43And Calvin told me to tell you that he's an arsehole and you can do better, which he is, and
34:51you can.
34:52You're a smart girl, Jade.
34:55You see things.
34:57That is what I've been saying.
34:59But you ruin it with your foolishness.
35:02Like about Ash Tall being haunted.
35:04But that's true.
35:06They killed that boy up there.
35:07Get your arse and gear, girl.
35:11Swear.
35:17You had me at timeline.
35:24The sheets.
35:26The 90-degree cycle was too long for Joseph Ward to kill Peter Barron, wash the sheets, and fold them
35:32before Miss Scope arrived.
35:35Our timeline...
35:36Boss, no, no, no, no, no.
35:37Took us from Saturday night at the pub to Monday morning when Peter Barron was found.
35:43When it was a Monday afternoon that mattered.
35:46That's when evidence was taken from the scene.
35:48And it's that evidence that links the killer to Peter Barron.
35:53Right.
35:54The four musketeers.
35:56First, a local boy, Evan Laird.
36:02B.
36:03B.
36:04Died on Ash Tall in 1991.
36:091991.
36:10The coroner ruled it an accident.
36:12The second was Alan Moyes.
36:15Ah.
36:15Whose funeral Peter attended.
36:17Yes.
36:18Military hero.
36:20Took his own life after years of addiction.
36:23Broken by a shame he couldn't make up for.
36:25Peter Barron.
36:26The third musketeer.
36:27Hmm.
36:28Obsessed with saving every lost boy.
36:30Hi, boss.
36:31So we've got Bevan, Alan, Peter.
36:34Mm-hmm.
36:35There's one left.
36:36Who?
36:36Someone who's just moved back here.
36:38Who had unfinished business with Peter on Saturday night.
36:41Who came back Sunday night with a birthday card.
36:44You mean D.S. Oliver?
36:49What the?
36:52Let's get on.
36:56No, no.
36:57Oliver, we're here to help.
36:58Open the door.
37:01Enough.
37:04That is enough, mate.
37:10Shit.
37:11You locked the door.
37:23I think he's stopped for now.
37:25But boss, Joseph does not look good.
37:27The head wound, we need a hostage team and a battering ram for the door.
37:30By the time they get here, Joseph will have bled out.
37:33I'll keep him calm.
37:34You find something to get us in.
37:36Yes, boss.
37:38Must have hurt.
37:39Doing all that to yourself.
37:41Clever, though.
37:43With Joseph dead, case would have been closed.
37:46Joseph Ward killed Peter.
37:48He attacked me.
37:49He tried to escape.
37:50You saw it with your own eyes.
37:52That's why I had to restrain him.
37:53I locked the door to keep you safe.
37:55I understand all that.
37:56Only, careful, D.S.
37:58You should back away now.
38:00I'm fine.
38:01I can't.
38:04Because if Joseph doesn't recover, you need to be able to say you were following protocol.
38:10I was.
38:11I did.
38:12That you didn't lose control.
38:14I didn't mean to hurt him.
38:16Of course you didn't.
38:17Just like you didn't mean to hurt Bevan all those years ago.
38:22In the place where it all began.
38:26Ashtore.
38:28Just boys.
38:30Playing.
38:31Get off.
38:32Get off.
38:32Until you snapped.
38:36Temple punch.
38:38Just vessels and nerves.
38:40Soft tissue.
38:44Peter said it wasn't fair for one of us to take responsibility.
38:48For all of us to take the blame.
38:50All for one.
38:52And one for all.
38:53So none of you took responsibility.
38:56And the blow that killed Bevan was hidden from the damage from the fall.
39:00A terrible tragedy.
39:03Peter swore us all to silence.
39:10We all went our separate ways.
39:12But after Alan's funeral, with half of the musketeers dead, Peter told you he couldn't keep silent any longer.
39:23I said let's talk about it before we make any snap decisions.
39:27Speak to anyone else.
39:29Change our lives forever.
39:31So Sunday night, you chatted about old times.
39:35There he is.
39:37But Peter couldn't help himself.
39:39He only wanted to speak about the terrible secret that tied you to one another.
39:44Bevan.
39:46Do you remember that?
39:48We were just kids.
39:50It wasn't our fault.
39:52Not really.
39:52He was ready to speak to the press.
39:54The police.
39:55He said it was time for us to take responsibility.
39:58We can't carry the shame forever.
40:00Easy for him to say.
40:02Who'd blame Peter.
40:03The big success.
40:04Who'd spent his life helping others.
40:06Alan.
40:07The dead army hero.
40:09Who'd blame him.
40:10But me.
40:14A mediocre detective ending a shitty career in the middle of nowhere.
40:18Who'd spent three and a half decades hiding the fact that he'd help beat a kid to death.
40:22And that's why you had to silence him.
40:24Hey.
40:27Just shut up.
40:28Too many whiskeys to drive home.
40:31Peter made you up a bed and that's when you...
40:33Feed better after a good sleep, eh?
40:36What are you doing, Mark?
40:38Get...
40:38Get...
40:39Hang on.
40:39Let me do it.
40:41Shut up.
40:42Just...
40:42Shut up.
40:43Come on.
40:43Come on.
40:45Come on.
40:48Get...
40:48Get.
40:51Come on.
40:53Come on.
41:00All through this case, I've had the feeling that someone was a step ahead of me.
41:06Removing and destroying evidence, anything pointing to the real killer was hidden in plain sight.
41:16Or disposed of.
41:21But Joseph couldn't delete CSI photos.
41:27And the killer wasn't one step ahead.
41:31You were right beside me.
41:34Walking the scene.
41:37Seeing everything you'd left that tied you to Peter, to Bevan.
41:45So you went back to Peter's house, took the card, took the album, the phone.
41:53But a trained officer.
41:56He knew how to retrace his steps, wipe down where he'd been, wash his glass, and then leave the door
42:05open knowing Joseph would worry.
42:09Enter.
42:09Put prints all over the house.
42:13Framing an innocent man.
42:16Bevan's death was a tragedy.
42:18No one alive knows that more than me.
42:20But the rest of that was pure fantasy, DCI, Alice.
42:24Only Joseph here has motive, means, and opportunity.
42:27There's not one single piece of physical evidence places me at Peter Barron's on Sunday night.
42:31Yes, there is.
42:33The birthday card you brought him.
42:34Not Calvin.
42:35Buy him one.
42:37We go...
42:37Hey, come back here.
42:41Godfather rules.
42:46Hidden in plain sight.
42:55It's all out in the open.
42:57Time to tell the world what really happened to Bevan.
43:01Tell Avery what happened to her father.
43:04Come out and face it all, DS Oliver.
43:06Take responsibility and save Joseph's life.
43:11I wasn't there.
43:13It wasn't me.
43:17The birthday card you brought him, which you gave him on Sunday night.
43:23Happy birthday, Peter.
43:26After 40 years, what's a day late between friends?
43:29Best wishes, Malcolm.
43:32The one piece of evidence your conscience wouldn't let you destroy.
43:37No!
43:38No!
43:39No!
43:40No!
43:40No!
43:40Go!
43:42Don't!
43:43You're not breaking me!
43:44You're not breaking!
43:45It's over!
43:45It's over, Malcolm.
43:47Malcolm Oliver, I'm arresting you for the murder of Peter Barron.
43:51Read him his rights.
43:53Get him out of my sight.
44:21Get him in the ambulance.
44:43It shows you not eating a vegetable.
44:49Listen, Grace.
44:50If I don't make it back in time, it's...
44:54Shit.
44:55Don't pick up.
44:56I've got this.
44:57Mum, are you there?
45:01Hello.
45:02Assistant Chief Constable Layton.

45:14Not what we expected at all.
45:16Hello?
45:16Plus, if you leave now, we're gonna make it.
45:18Go.

45:21Oh, she gone.
45:23Grace?
