00:00Mackie trained to be a detective with your dad.
00:02What is he doing here, Pat?
00:04He's bent. He's a killer, for God's sake.
00:06We three okay?
00:07Man's been shot dead on the moors.
00:09Todd Drake. He's epileptic, and he lived and worked on Bourne Gate Farm.
00:13Todd Drake was dead before he was shot.
00:16If he was shot after he died, what was the cause of death?
00:18Hey, please!
00:19Somebody needs to go in the ambulance with that one.
00:22Zarf, Palmer.
00:23Ban the burn.
00:23There's a great big fire up on the moors,
00:25and Pat's just called to say that Soph and some of the mates are still up there.
00:28Come on, come on.
00:29Come on, come on.
00:30Give me your cat.
00:30Watch out, you're heading down.
00:32Have they found someone else?
01:00Fire's just about under control.
01:02Have they found Sophie?
01:02Don't think so.
01:04Are you sure this is the Zav Palmer fellow then?
01:07Positive.
01:09Another body on Benson Land.
01:11Why here?
01:12Near Todd Drake.
01:15That's a shotgun wound.
01:18Another shotgun death, sir?
01:21This is the man that gave you in deep of the slip yesterday.
01:23Top police in Marshall.
01:25Commendation worthy.
01:26Thank you, Babak.
01:28Any connection between the victims?
01:30Yeah.
01:30The farmer, Jeff Dixon, pulled a shotgun on Zav Palmer yesterday.
01:34Threatened to kill him.
01:35And Todd Drake lived and worked on the same farm.
01:37This Mr. Dixon sounds like a person of interest to me.
01:40So, where is he?
01:42No sign of Dixon when forensics were at Todd's caravan yesterday.
01:45Okay.
01:45We'll find him.
01:46Now, speak to the fire investigation team.
01:49How did the fire start?
01:51Was it accidental caused by the Benson's Heatherburn or was it deliberate, the killer covering
01:57their tracks?
01:59Two murders in two days is going to spread quicker than the bloody fire, so we'll keep
02:03a lid on this.
02:04Yes?
02:05The identity of the victim stays with us.
02:07Understood?
02:08Yeah.
02:09Good.
02:09Joe, the age with the uniform by the teenagers on the moor, I want to know as soon as they've
02:14been found and interviewed, who was here, what they were doing, and what did they see.
02:19Yeah.
02:20And while we track down Jeff Dixon, I'd like to know if these two victims knew each other.
02:24So if there is a connection, find it.
02:53Pat.
02:55Sophie.
02:56Thank God for that.
02:57How is she?
02:58She's a bit shaken up, but she's okay.
02:59She got separated from her mates in a panic and lost her bearings, but they're going to
03:03check her over.
03:04What about the girl I found?
03:05Is there...?
03:06I've seen her.
03:06She's banged up, but she's all right.
03:08What were you doing up there?
03:09I can't get anything out of them.
03:10Oh, Soph.
03:12You all right?
03:13Um, listen, you won't be able to talk to me and Pat officially, because we're family,
03:17but you'll have to give a statement when you're ready, yeah?
03:19Hey, what's this about another dead body?
03:21Who told you that?
03:22Fluttered my eyelashes at a fireman.
03:24Sir, is there a serial killer or what?
03:26Can you just not spread any rumours, because we're trying not to panic everybody?
03:29Who is it?
03:30Who died?
03:31No, it's nobody that you know.
03:32You just take care of yourself, all right?
03:33See that.
03:34What were they doing on the moors at 4am?
03:37They're teenagers.
03:38You know, we did stupid stuff when we were their age.
03:40Listen, what's all this about you being outsmarted by the second murder victim?
03:44Who told you that?
03:45Babak texted me.
03:46Oh, my God.
03:47My head was spinning.
03:49It was all that stuff with the commendations, and then you texted me every four seconds,
03:53so I messed up, all right?
03:54All right.
03:54All right.
03:54Sorry.
03:57Look, before all this kicked off, I was going to do some more Mackie stuff.
04:02These are coppers that your dad and Mackie work with.
04:06We're all retired now.
04:07Do you know any of them?
04:09No.
04:10No, I don't think I do.
04:11Why don't you ask my mum?
04:12She might remember.
04:13Yeah.
04:13Just be careful what you say, all right?
04:15All right.
04:17No, I know.
04:18I understand the system.
04:19No, it's scary.
04:21Right.
04:21Close your windows if you're worried about the smoke.
04:23Yes, yes.
04:24So they're only evacuating the houses closest to the moors as a precaution, okay?
04:29Okay.
04:29Okay.
04:29Well, give that a go.
04:30All right.
04:31Then you stay safe now.
04:32Okay.
04:32Bye-bye.
04:33Bye for now.
04:34Bye for now.
04:35I promise you she's not been in that thing all morning, just most of it.
04:38I'm up to me neck with calls about the fire.
04:41And what's all this about another body?
04:44My lips are sealed.
04:45So it's true then.
04:47Right.
04:48Right.
04:49Where the hell have I put my keys in now?
04:50Oh, hey.
04:50Would you?
04:51Shh, shh, shh.
04:51Would you have a look at this for me quick?
04:53Names of all coppers.
04:55Could you help fill in the blanks?
04:57Yeah.
05:00Oh, I haven't seen these names in a while.
05:02Uh, right.
05:04Nige.
05:05Nigel Linwood.
05:06He lives in Spain now.
05:07On his fourth wife.
05:09Jim B.
05:10Oh, right, yeah.
05:11That'll be Jim Baxter.
05:12Oh, he died just after Bren, actually.
05:16Tempo.
05:17Oh.
05:19Bren did not like him.
05:21No?
05:22No.
05:23Who's he?
05:25Sorry, Molly Marshall.
05:27Oh, hello, Mrs Barnes.
05:29So I've spoken to the street cleaning department about the graffiti.
05:32I promise you I'll keep pushing him, okay?
05:35Bye-bye.
05:35Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye.
05:37Oh, those bloody red exes.
05:39Right.
05:40Where were we now?
05:41Tempo.
05:43Fraser Tempest.
05:45Yeah, Bren thought he was a bit of a liability, actually.
05:48Mackie won't keen, either.
05:49Liked to drink.
05:51Er...
05:51Got in the way of a few cases, I think.
05:54Took early retirement.
05:56Is he still local?
05:58Ish.
05:58Shh.
05:59Er, hang on a minute.
06:00I might, um...
06:03I might have his details in there, actually.
06:06There you go.
06:06Right, I've got to go.
06:08I've got to get over to Tony's.
06:09He's not answering his blooming phone.
06:10Bye-bye.
06:11Bye-bye, beautiful.
06:13Bye-bye.
06:14Sir, what are you asking me for, anyway?
06:16Mackie will tell you more than I can.
06:18It's a surprise for Mackie's birthday.
06:19I'm getting some of the old times together.
06:22But I won't invite Tempo.
06:27All right.
06:27I've got to go.
06:28See you later.
06:29Bye!
06:40Hello.
06:41What are you doing here?
06:43Where's Tony?
06:44Oh, he's, er...
06:45He's upstairs, fretting about Donna moving back in.
06:48I've offered to give the Tideline another coat while he's, er,
06:51fannying about with his council stuff.
06:52You see, I'm nice like that.
06:53He's a good dad.
06:55Yeah, well, he couldn't cut in to save his bloody life.
06:58Erm, just wondering, do you fancy meeting up for a drink later?
07:01I mean, er, it's been nice to catch up properly, you know,
07:05from what I've missed.
07:11Molly Marshall?
07:12Yeah, hello?
07:14Thanks for painting, Jack.
07:16Was that Molly?
07:17Yeah, she's, er, she's outside on the phone.
07:19Erm, meant to ask.
07:21I went over to Uplands after our chat yesterday.
07:24Who's the, er, who's the fancy brunette in yoga pants,
07:27recording the shots and waving her clipboard around?
07:29Sounds like Harriet Benson.
07:31What foot will Harriet Benson?
07:32Haven't seen her in years.
07:34Didn't she have the landscaping company?
07:36No, I don't think so.
07:37She, er, she runs Crosstail Estates now with her dad, Alan.
07:40Bit of an eco-warrior, actually.
07:42But no, I suppose, er, well, she might be consulting.
07:45Who bought Uplands after you, then?
07:47Er, it's a company called Orion Developments.
07:50But you'd have to ask the liquidators.
07:52Well, not one you know, at least, hey?
07:53That's got to be good.
07:55Ah.
07:55Oh, there you are.
07:57We're trying to call you all morning.
07:58Yeah, you and half of Waterside.
08:00Yeah, and the other half have been calling me.
08:01So, fire another body first.
08:05What's next?
08:05It's not a flood.
08:06Oh, no.
08:07Yeah, due heavy rain later.
08:09The problem is, you see, the burnt moorland will increase runoff.
08:12Make the chance of flooding worse.
08:14Well, let's hope the moorland does its job.
08:16Right, so what's the plan?
08:17Well, I don't know.
08:18I don't know.
08:21I don't know.
08:23I don't know.
08:23I don't know.
08:24I don't know.
08:30I don't know.
08:39Bye, then.
08:40A second murder investigation has been launched in Waterside
08:44after the death of a man in his 40s.
08:47Who told the press?
08:48Sure you didn't text them.
08:50Is there any sign of Geoff Dixon?
08:52He's not at the farmhouse.
08:53The car's gone.
08:55I really hope he's not the third victim.
08:57How'd you figure that?
09:00Dixon said that criminals have been targeting the farm,
09:02ditching construction waste.
09:04He seemed to think that Zav was involved.
09:06What about Todd Drake?
09:07Well, Todd could have links to the same gang.
09:10They're getting over their heads.
09:12Dixon witnessed something.
09:14Dixon is not a victim.
09:16He's a suspect.
09:17He pointed a shotgun at Palmer,
09:19threatened to kill him,
09:19and now he's done a runner.
09:21Mmm.
09:22Interim pathology report.
09:24So both victims likely shot with a 20-bow shotgun,
09:27but, get this,
09:29both shot when they were already dead.
09:31What?
09:33So what killed them?
09:36Let's have a look.
09:39OK, so,
09:41Todd Drake suffered a blow to the forehead,
09:43unlikely severe enough to be fatal.
09:45Cause of death still to be established,
09:46we're not good enough for a while yet.
09:48What about the abandoned transit van found near Todd's body?
09:51Has the blood on the dashboard been tested?
09:52We're waiting on the results.
09:53Well, we should chase it.
09:54That could be Todd's.
09:55Excuse me if I don't jump at your suggestions right now.
09:58No, no, no, no.
09:58She's right.
09:58We should chase it.
10:00Zav Palmer stabbed repeatedly with a long, thin object.
10:03They think a shard of metal or a tool.
10:06Then his body moved to the ditch and shot.
10:08It's unclear whether it was before or during the fire.
10:11So both bodies are moved to the moors?
10:12Why?
10:14And why shoot them both after they're dead?
10:16The guy's angry.
10:18Unhinged.
10:19Killing them wasn't enough.
10:21Wanted to keep inflicting damage.
10:22Yeah, maybe, but Zav was stabbed to death
10:25and Todd's got no obvious lethal injury.
10:27Why the inconsistency?
10:29Have we found any more connections between the two?
10:32No.
10:32Chalk and cheese these two.
10:34Todd Drake had a quiet life by all accounts.
10:37Lived and worked on the farm for a couple of years.
10:39Man of God, no criminal record.
10:41Had a long-term girlfriend who died two years ago.
10:44Leukaemia.
10:46Zav Palmer is a...
10:48Well, an unemployed drifter.
10:50Bit of a...
10:50Bit of a wrong, I'm by the sounds of it.
10:52I mean, his mum was in bits,
10:53but even she didn't have much nice to say.
10:55Had a few girlfriends, according to her,
10:57but she only knew first names,
10:59so Lynn's trying to get the surnames and ID them.
11:02So Zav's crooked, but Todd's a churchgoer.
11:06Doesn't sound like someone caught up an organised crime to me.
11:08Yeah, yeah, but even so,
11:10both men shot post-mortem with a shotgun.
11:14Something's got to link them.
11:15Yeah.
11:17Geoff Dixon.
11:18Hmm.
11:20Any news from the teens on the moor?
11:22Not yet.
11:23Some of them went straight home,
11:24some went to hospital.
11:25It's proven quite hard to wrangle all the parents.
11:28What? What is that?
11:32This...
11:33is everywhere.
11:35Doesn't look like you're trying to arrest them to me, Marshal.
11:47Keep a lid on this, I said.
11:48The victim's identities stay with us.
11:50And now there's a video of you online
11:53looking like you're about to smooch one of them.
11:55Why didn't you cuff him?
11:56I was about to, but his thigh wound had reopened,
11:59so I covered him while he put a dressing on it,
12:01I looked away for one second and he took off.
12:03Already getting calls from the press wanting a statement.
12:04This is the last thing we need
12:06in the middle of a double murder investigation joke.
12:08I understand. Who posted it?
12:09It wasn't me.
12:10What?
12:10This is not the first time you've been caught
12:12in an awkward situation with a suspect
12:14only for him to end up dead.
12:15Oh, you've got no idea what you're talking about, Babak.
12:17In fact, if you'd not let him escape,
12:18he might still be alive.
12:19Babak.
12:21Excuse me.
12:32Joe!
12:33A word.
12:47Are we just seeing the CCTV of you and Zav Palmer?
12:50Oh, is there anyone who hasn't?
12:52Look, Deepa tells me he was talking about you and dating apps.
12:57What was going on with you two?
12:59Nothing.
13:01Babak telling everyone otherwise.
13:03And Deepa, apparently.
13:04Look, I'm only asking out of concern.
13:06I know how personally involved you can get with these things.
13:09Are you really questioning how I do my job?
13:21Just remember who you're talking to.
13:24I've gone out of my way with these commendations
13:26to clean up the mess you made.
13:29I couldn't just as easily make it go another way.
13:33A bit of gratitude wouldn't go amiss.
13:37Get fucked.
13:38Mackie.
13:45Why are you talking to Mackie behind my back?
13:47I wasn't.
13:48I was getting a bollocking for losing Zav at the hospital.
13:51He was making me go through it all step by step.
13:55At the end of the day, Mackie's on our side, you know.
13:58He defended you when there was gossip about you and Lee Ellison, didn't he?
14:02He's always got our backs.
14:04Just...just don't get too close, yeah?
14:10What are you doing here?
14:11I'm seeing Mackie for this community safety meeting this afternoon.
14:14You all right?
14:15Yeah.
14:15Actually, do you know of any other landowners
14:18complaining about illegal waste?
14:20Hmm.
14:20Tony?
14:21Oh, it's right, but the council won't do anything about it
14:24until it's impacting public land.
14:26On a privately owned farm, we've got no jurisdiction.
14:29Well, that seems daft.
14:31Oh, there's Mackie.
14:33Oh.
14:34Bye, love.
14:34Yeah, bye.
14:35Jill?
14:36Hi, Tony.
14:38Thanks for coming in.
14:39You all right?
14:39Yeah, fine.
14:40Lynn's come through with a list of Zav's girlfriends.
14:42We've got Lucy Hampson, Abigail Midford, Donna Roha.
14:45Donna Roha?
14:46What, do you know her?
14:47I know of her.
14:48That was her dad just now.
14:49He's a counsellor.
14:51Yeah, Donna lives in temporary accommodation in town.
14:53She's been there since the floods last year.
14:55All right, we'll start with her.
14:57You with me now.
14:58Why?
14:58A bit of space between you and Babak might not be a bad idea.
15:08Don't let the stuff with Zav Palmer bother you.
15:10I've done far worse myself.
15:13And Babak, he's just threatened by you.
15:15Young lass on the team, showing him up, getting commendations.
15:18Yeah, well, he can keep him.
15:21I don't like the attention.
15:23I don't think he uploaded the video, though.
15:24I know he has his moments, but that would be career-ending.
15:27I mean, anyone could have done it.
15:29Don't waste your energy.
15:34You know the bloke Babak mentioned?
15:37The one he said you got close to last year?
15:39Was that Lee Ellison?
15:41Yeah, how do you know?
15:43Just locker room chatter.
15:45You know how it is.
15:51Did you hear Balsara?
15:53Smooch.
15:53Who the hell says smooch?
16:19Who the hell says smooch?
16:22Take your time.
16:23We know this is distressing.
16:35He was here yesterday.
16:39He'd stayed over, but overslept and left in a rush.
16:42Okay, and that was the last time that you saw him?
16:44No.
16:45No, he came back.
16:47Later, looking for something, but he had this gash on his leg and he wouldn't tell me how
16:53he got it, but it needed dressing and then I'd run out of bandages and I told him to go
16:57to hospital.
16:58I couldn't get any sense out of him.
17:00It's all right.
17:01Just take your time.
17:01Do you know what it was that he was looking for?
17:04I really don't know.
17:07I'm sorry.
17:08I can't do this.
17:09I can't.
17:09Okay.
17:10All right.
17:11Um, is there somebody that you can call to be with you?
17:14Your dad maybe?
17:15Yeah?
17:17If there's, um, if there's anything you remember or you notice something's missing,
17:21just give us a call.
17:22Thanks.
17:24You all right?
17:28Donna?
17:30Is that from Zav?
17:40Zav visits Donna, then I see him at the farm, he goes to hospital, does a runner, comes
17:46back to Donna's looking for something, then I see him at the chemist and he does a runner
17:50again.
17:50What do you think he was looking for at Donna's?
17:52Hmm.
17:54The note on the fridge, by the way.
17:56Zav signs his name with an X.
17:58What does that remind you of?
18:02Paint your initial all over town.
18:04To what end?
18:06Yeah, I don't know about that bit, but if not, then what's it all about?
18:09Fire services just found a shotgun in the morse.
18:12Armed response says it's the same gauge as the one used on both victims.
18:16Should be getting confirmation as to who owns it soon.
18:35FRASER TAMPEST
18:37FRASER TAMPEST
18:48Pick your brains.
18:49Ah, I'm off out in a minute, er.
18:51Can you leave me your details?
18:52Yeah.
18:53Do you keep in touch with any of the lads that you served with?
18:57Not really.
18:58You took early retirement, right?
19:00Yeah.
19:01I planted a change.
19:02School caretaker now.
19:04Suits me.
19:06But being in the force is a tough line of work.
19:08I wasn't cut out for it.
19:09I heard it was like the wild west back then.
19:13Aren't you a bit young to be setting up support groups for old timers?
19:16Oh, it's a subject close to my heart cos my father-in-law was a copper.
19:20Er, Bren Marshall.
19:23Oh.
19:24Yeah.
19:25I worked with Bren.
19:27Good man.
19:28Hmm.
19:28I remember his little girl.
19:30He was always bringing her to the station, sitting her at his desk.
19:33Well, she is a detective now.
19:35And we're married.
19:37Separated.
19:40Er...
19:42I'll tell you what.
19:45Why don't you come in for a minute?
19:48Do you have kids yourself?
19:50Mine are all grown up now.
19:52We're kids of their own.
19:54Enjoy it while it lasts.
19:56How was the little one?
19:58Er, she's just had her first birthday.
20:00Had a big party for her.
20:02Not that she had any idea what was going on.
20:05Mackie was there, actually.
20:10I heard that you didn't quite get on with him and Bren.
20:15Do you mind telling me what happened?
20:18What makes you think anything happened?
20:21Sorry, I didn't...
20:23I thought this was about ex-Coppers.
20:25It is.
20:25It is.
20:26A lot of the old boys who retired, the same stuff keeps coming up.
20:29You know, the stress and the pressures.
20:32The things that they saw.
20:34Things that were made to do.
20:35Enough of the retirement group crap.
20:40What is this really about?
20:45Okay.
20:46Look.
20:49I know Mackie hates you.
20:52That's why I'm here.
20:57And I've been doing their dirty work for years.
21:00But not anymore.
21:05Me and Mackie are solid.
21:08I did.
21:10Always have been.
21:23Well, I've heard differently.
21:27And the way that you reacted when I brought Mackie's name...
21:29I need you to leave.
21:31Now.
21:45Let's just forget about this.
21:47Okay?
21:47You came looking for trouble, not me.
21:50So...
21:53Pat Holman...
21:54...of Leefield Avenue Waterside.
21:59I suggest you leave now.
22:04Please.
22:05Please.
22:06Don't say anything to Mackie.
22:18Yeah.
22:19They came round.
22:20I said to him, she lives with your detective.
22:24Pat'll talk to her anyway.
22:27I don't think she's all out.
22:28T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t.
22:31Speak of the devil.
22:43Hey!
22:44I can't hear you.
22:50Yeah.
22:52Where have you been?
22:55Driving this little monster round, trying to get her to go to sleep.
22:58But, no such luck.
23:00I thought I slept well in the car.
23:02Can you put the kettle on, Kel?
23:04Er, where are your manners?
23:07Can you put the fucking kettle on? Please.
23:15They're staying here until Keith gets out of prison in a few days.
23:18And I am counting down the hours.
23:22Can we trust him?
23:24Keith?
23:25I wouldn't trust him with the washing up.
23:27But, you know, keep his mouth shut, if that's what you mean.
23:30Right.
23:31What's going on with Jo?
23:34She's fine. Why? What's happened?
23:35I thought these commendations would draw a line on her everything.
23:38Apparently not.
23:39She's knackered, stressed, Eve's teething, new job.
23:43Now's the time to tell me if we have a problem.
23:47There's no problem.
23:49Really?
23:51PHONE RINGS
23:53PHONE RINGS
23:56PHONE RINGS
23:56PHONE RINGS
23:57No, then.
23:57I'm okay.
24:02Is that right?
24:05Okay.
24:07No, no, no, thanks for the update.
24:10Speak soon.
24:16Here we go.
24:17Back to Daddy.
24:23I trust you know what's best for your family.
24:41I'll be increasing patrols in and around Waterside.
24:45And street lighting will be reinstated temporarily overnight.
24:49Now, a member of the team will be available to talk through any concerns you may have between 8am and
24:542pm Monday through to Thursday.
24:57And they will be supported by your local councillors, Tony Rower and Molly Marshall.
25:03Now, we've got a short window for any questions.
25:07Yes.
25:07Is there a serial killer in Waterside?
25:10Is all this graffiti got anything to do in there?
25:13Yeah.
25:15You say it's on my land, so it's my problem.
25:18Well now it's on your land, so you can deal with it!
25:21You're going to need to stay seated!
25:23Yeah, you've got a point!
25:25Oh, my God!
25:26Come here up!
25:26Oh!
25:27Mr. Nixon, you're wanting a connection with the murders of Todd Drake and Zab Palmer.
25:30You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence.
25:33You do not mention when questioned something you're later alone in court.
25:36Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
25:41After you lot left, I drove to the Black Oars in Brackenwell
25:46and made my way through several pints and half a bottle of vodka.
25:50Yeah.
25:50Not exactly the smartest move after what happened on the farm yesterday.
25:54Well, I was upset.
25:56Todd and I had worked together for years.
25:58Do you think that Todd could have been involved in anything criminal?
26:01Todd?
26:02Not a chance.
26:04What about Zav?
26:05Oh, I didn't know the guy.
26:07Why'd you have your shotgun out?
26:11Security.
26:12Bloody fly tippers.
26:14Oh, look, I wouldn't have used it!
26:17Go and tell him, we went through this yesterday.
26:20If you and the council had taken my complaint seriously, we wouldn't be in this bloody mess.
26:24Littering isn't really at the top of our priority list, Mr Dickson.
26:27This is not just a few crisp packets and fag ends!
26:29This is commercial waste!
26:31Mr Dickson, please.
26:31Tons of it!
26:32And I do not have the money to clear it up!
26:35This is the only crime where the victim takes the hit and pays to clear it up!
26:39And the people behind this are nasty bastards!
26:42They are raking it in and it is not going to stop!
26:45And nobody gives a toss!
26:47Calm down!
26:47That's before you get into the flooding every other year!
26:49My flock is half the size it used to be!
26:52Right?
26:52Because the land is not fit for grazing!
26:55I don't have any money for bills!
26:57I don't have any money for food!
26:58And my best worker, my bloody friend, is dead!
27:02Mr Dickson, we know that you're upset, but you did employ one of these men and threatened
27:07to kill the other.
27:08So we just need to make sure everything's nice and clear for your statement, okay?
27:16Good.
27:17Right.
27:17The Black Horse.
27:19Is there anyone that can confirm you were there?
27:22It was karaoke night.
27:24I did Agadoo and then I did Wannabe.
27:26A room full of people witnessed me butchering a modern pop classic,
27:30but you can ask any of them.
27:31And then the landlord, Neil, he put me to bed on the sofa for the evening.
27:40He's got alibis all night long, apparently.
27:43Well, it makes sense because the shotgun they found on the moors isn't his.
27:46Then whose is it?
27:48It's from the Cross Steel Estate.
27:50Bloody hell.
27:51What, Alan Benson?
27:53No.
27:55Harriet?
28:02You hadn't noticed the gun was missing?
28:04Not until you called us.
28:05I'm spinning plates here, running the organic farm, the foundation,
28:08keep the place from grumbling.
28:10Jo, sorry.
28:11DC Marshall, DS Bradley, this is my dad, Alan Benson.
28:14Nice to meet you.
28:16Now, let's move this shotgun business along.
28:18I'm meeting with the fire investigators at five.
28:21Find out what started the goddamn thing.
28:24The sooner we can get word out that it wasn't our Heatherburn, the better.
28:27I think a stolen shotgun is worth a bit of our time.
28:30How can we help?
28:31Um, do you keep this locked?
28:33Of course we do.
28:35Well, there's no sign of forced entry, so whoever it was had the code.
28:38We're going to need a list of everyone who has access.
28:40And if both of you could have someone to verify where you were and...
28:43Two murders on our moorland, then the fire, and now a shotgun's been stolen.
28:49Have we been set up or what?
28:50Did either of you know Todd Drake or Zav Palmer?
28:57Wasn't there a Zav that was a loader here or something?
29:00I think there was a grouse, Peter, called Zav.
29:04Last year?
29:05Year before.
29:06I'd have to check.
29:08I take it they're the dead men.
29:11Then you think Harriet's shotgun was used to kill them.
29:14Well, the guns with forensics now.
29:16Why did Zav stop working here?
29:18No idea.
29:19We don't know every casual employee on the estate.
29:23Have you had any problems with illegal waste being left on your land recently?
29:28Only as much as any landowner.
29:30Ah, here's Peter, our estate manager.
29:32One more thing.
29:33When did you last see Zav?
29:35Look, I barely remember the man.
29:39Now, if you have any more questions, you can put them to my lawyer.
29:43Harriet, give them some turnips.
29:49Who knew give them some turnips was a euphemism for fuck off?
30:02Fraser!
30:03Fraser!
30:05What's all this?
30:07Files, notebooks, tapes, stuff I took with me when I left.
30:11It's all yours.
30:12I thought you and Mackie were solid.
30:14I said that because I'm terrified of the man.
30:17And so should you be.
30:20I know, Fraser.
30:23He's got me too.
30:25I looked the other way.
30:27I took back Anders.
30:29Well, I'm a coward.
30:31So I kept my mouth shut.
30:32I want to bring him down.
30:35I just need help.
30:37What's Mackie got on you now?
30:39I'm not bloody telling you.
30:41You see, that's what he does.
30:43He finds your weakness and then he uses it against you.
30:48I didn't want to put my ticket in, but it were that.
30:51Or prison.
30:52And I'm a coward.
30:55Like you.
30:56Well, I'll hand myself in if I have to.
30:59Well, you know.
31:00Can you really do it?
31:03Because I thought I could too.
31:05You got the horse from the station.
31:07Not me.
31:09If he catches you snooping around, you are on your own.
31:13He won't think twice about doing whatever it takes to save his own skin.
31:17You're on your own.
31:23Sorry, I don't know.
31:23You're on your own, and I think you're on your own.
31:27And you're on your own.
31:37If he catches you, you're on your own.
31:40But I'm going to have to, in such a way, you're on the right.
31:45I know of you!
31:47between victims and the only lead we have right now is a shotgun that wasn't even used to kill
31:51them and just put them to fire investigation. They've ruled out control burning as a cause of
31:57fire on the moors. Well that's one thing off the Benson's plate. So what caused it? They don't know
32:03but arson is still on the cards. My niece was one of the teens on the moor. She's been banging
32:09on
32:09about Heather burning. Hopefully a uniform can get something out of her and her mates.
32:14Listen um I'm sorry for prying earlier about the Ellison. It was the last thing you needed when
32:21you're having a shit day. Yeah don't worry about it. Fancy a pint? My treat? I would but I I
32:29can't.
32:30Another time? Okay well if you ever need to talk about Zav or Leo well anything really I'm here
32:37and I could do with the distraction to be honest. Emptiness syndrome's a bastard.
32:42I'll see ya. See ya.
32:47I was convinced that Fraser was going to call Mackie but then he shows up with all this. Case
32:53files. Interview tapes. There's money laundering schemes with no cash to show for it. Drug farm
32:59raids with not much in the way of drugs. All signed off by Mackie. What did you think he was
33:04stealing evidence? Err drugs? Cash? Maybe. I mean there's no evidence of corruption. It's
33:10all circumstantial. But I can't look at it at work now anyway without it all being flagged
33:14to Balsara. I mean look. There's another one. 2012. Teenager. Saskia Bale. Burglary.
33:22All the evidence goes missing while she's in custody. Charges are dropped. Well er let's
33:27see what else we can find on her. And anyone else in there. Yeah and there's er tapes. What
33:34kind of tapes? Interviews conducted by Mackie and your dad. I've only started listening to
33:39one of them though. Okay er send me an audio file. You sure? Do you think I can't handle listening
33:48to them? I don't know. You've had a rough day. I don't want to do anything that's going to send
33:55you over the edge. I'm fine. I'm fine. Are you? Not really. No. I mean you didn't see the way
34:02that Mackie looked at me. Even if Frasier hasn't said anything that doesn't mean he's not on to us.
34:06It's fine. I'll sort things for Mackie. Right. Right gotta go. Just send me that audio yeah? Yeah okay. Bye.
34:20That's new isn't it? He's very good isn't he? If you say so. Hello sweetheart. What are you doing up?
34:35There's someone outside. They were out my window. Stay here. Dad.
34:54Dad.
34:58Dad.
35:00Dad.
35:01Dad.
35:11Happy ride.
35:14Dad.
35:17I will see them.
35:33I thought it was your night off.
35:36There's more to do here than there is at home.
35:39Sarah's still in London.
35:42Yeah, turns out being an MP is more full on than being a copper.
35:52Mackie, I'm sorry for having a go earlier.
35:57The commendations, they'd just brought up everything that had happened and all this stuff with Zav Palmer, you know.
36:05Sorry.
36:07You were having a bad day.
36:09You took it out on the wrong person.
36:12Let's move on.
36:18So what did happen with you in Zav Palmer?
36:21I helped protect his modesty.
36:23He got the better of me.
36:25That's it.
36:26All right, forget about it.
36:29I'll shut down the office gossip.
36:33And embrace the commendations.
36:36What you did last year should be celebrated.
36:39There's a bright future for all of us if we can just stick together.
36:44It's okay.
36:45You don't need to give me the sales pitch.
36:47I'm not going to say anything.
36:49I've got too much to lose.
36:53And, you know, you were my dad's best friend.
36:58You've been there my whole life.
37:01What family?
37:04Mm.
37:06A fucked up family, but, yeah.
37:12You know, ever since your dad died, I felt responsible for you.
37:19Make sure you were taken care of.
37:22That you were happy.
37:24And your mum too.
37:25God knows she deserves it.
37:29But I miss you.
37:31What we had before.
37:33And I know it's going to take some time for you to think of me like you used to, but
37:37you will.
37:40I know you will.
37:53Thanks for seeing me, Mum.
37:55Found out I got screwed over the Uplands deal.
37:58Basically, my investors pulled out of the deal at the last minute.
38:03Left me drowning in debt, so I had no choice but to declare bankruptcy.
38:08And then today, I find out that those same investors bought back Uplands from the liquidators.
38:15Forcing me out so that they could, er, well, snap it up for peanuts.
38:20Oh, my God.
38:21Is that even legal?
38:23Well, I mean, the original investment was made pretty much on a handshake, you know, gentlemen's agreement.
38:28Oh, that was your own fault, then.
38:30Well, maybe a bit, but, I mean, I needed the money.
38:33Anyway, I checked out who owned the parent company that was dealing with all of that.
38:38Turns out it was Alan Benson.
38:40Sounds to me like a cutthroat business.
38:43I'm sure you've done similar.
38:45You're supposed to be on my side.
38:49Well, can't Sarah Mucky help you out?
38:51You know, girlfriends in high places and all that.
38:55That ship sailed long ago.
38:56Actually, not so much sail, it sunk.
39:01So is it all over between you two, then?
39:05Yeah, I'm done chasing all the men's wives.
39:08Devoured the best years of my life to all of that.
39:10And what with the business schemes, and what have I got to show for it?
39:13Sod all.
39:14Oh, come on.
39:16You'll be back on your feet in no time.
39:17You're a survivor.
39:19Like a cockroach.
39:22No, I don't know.
39:23This last year, with losing Uplands and everything else,
39:25I've just realised that, er...
39:28I just want something more for me life, you know?
39:32I just want something real.
39:33No, bloody hell.
39:35Jack Ratcliffe trying to find himself.
39:38You stop with the jokes, please.
39:40You know, I'm talking here about my bloody feelings.
39:47Anyway, when I came back to Waterside,
39:49I realised that, er...
39:53Well, there was one person that I really, really wanted to see.
39:58Who?
40:00You, for God's sake.
40:02You think the world of your mole, always have.
40:05There, right, now.
40:06I've said it.
40:07Done.
40:10Well, don't just sit there.
40:11Say something.
40:12Oh, shut up.
40:12And then I, like running away, love.
40:18Oh, mynicos, I'm still panning the world.
40:25I'm still panning it.
40:31Oh...
40:42Hiya. Here's the interview with your dad and Mackie. I've told you about.
40:47I'm Detective Sergeant Brent Marshall, presently stationed at Waters Act Police Station.
40:53Also present is Sergeant Phil Mackie. I'm interviewing Tommy Hatton.
40:57Tommy, can you give your account of events from the morning to the 22nd of March?
41:01Oh my God, I've been over this a million times.
41:15What's this about you being caught on candid camera with one of the victims?
41:19I keep thinking if I've taken him in, he might still be alive.
41:24No, Mum, please don't watch it.
41:26How? Is that Zav?
41:29Did you know him?
41:30Yeah, I did. You know the grief counselling group I go to?
41:33Well, he's been coming there these last few months talking about losing his dad. He was devastated.
41:39Zav went to grief counselling? Did you talk to him much?
41:43No, not really. Sorry.
41:45Aww.
41:47He's dead. Poor bloke.
41:50So he was the one dating Donna Roa, wasn't he?
41:54Yeah.
41:58I saw you and Jack last night.
42:04Yeah?
42:05So is that a problem?
42:08Well, I've got to be honest, I didn't love it.
42:11What, are you two like a thing now, or...?
42:13No.
42:14I don't know, I don't know. Can I not just have a bit of fun?
42:18Yeah.
42:19Sorry.
42:20You all right?
42:23There wasn't a, erm, Todd Drake at that grief counselling group, was there?
42:28Yeah.
42:29There was a Todd.
42:30Don't have a surname, though. Why?
42:32Did his girlfriend die of leukaemia?
42:34Yeah.
42:35How do you know that?
42:36Todd's the other murder victim.
42:39No.
42:41Right, well in that case, it's not a random killing spree then, is it?
42:44So hang on.
42:44Zav and Todd went to the same grief counselling group.
42:48Did they know each other?
42:50Yeah.
42:50They were mates.
42:51They met there, I think.
42:52But they all sat together.
42:54And I think Zav would stay at Todd's, you know, when they'd had a skinful.
42:57Which I always thought was a bit odd, because they were so different.
43:01There was a sleeping bag at the caravan.
43:04So Zav wasn't sneaking around the farm, he was just going back to Todd's?
43:11He had a bag.
43:13Ah, he had a bag.
43:14He must have dumped it before Dixon caught up with him.
43:17Thank you, Mum.
43:18Okay, bye love, bye.
43:19Bye bye.
43:24Okay, the quad bike chases Zav into here, and he has the bag.
43:28But when he jumps over that half door down there, it's gone.
43:31He doesn't have it.
43:45Sam?
43:49It might be...
43:52Yeah, here we go.
44:20Hang on.
44:26What is it?
44:28The hell were they up to?
44:31Whatever it is, it went wrong.
44:34Zav killed Todd?
44:36Yeah, but why?
44:37And if he did, then who killed Zav with the same shotgun MO?
44:41Hello?
44:42Maybe.
44:43Things went wrong, Todd got killed, and then Zav knew they were coming for him next.
44:51Forensics.
44:54Okay.
44:55So Zav and Todd definitely both shot with the Benson gun.
45:00Wiped down one thumbprint on the barrel.
45:02Not Zav or Todd's, and it's not someone on our system.
45:09Do either of the Bensons have fingerprints on record?
45:15Do we really think Harriet or her dad could be murderers?
45:18More likely the fingerprint belongs to one of their employees.
45:21Hmm.
45:24Oh, wow.
