00:04Uh, now the search for Kelvin's over, DCI.
00:08Any help you need, I'm right here.
00:11DS, follow me.
00:24Sorry, DCI, did I, um, do something wrong?
00:27He failed to disclose meeting the victim shortly before he died.
00:32Saturday night? We were gonna...
00:35Discuss the abusive emails, which you forgot to mention. Protocol DS.
00:41Sorry. I was just... overwhelmed.
00:47So, what next? The firewall?
00:52You, uh, get anywhere with Peter's phone?
00:54Factory reset. It's a dodo.
00:57Uh, then dig into his laptop, see if there's anything on there that shouldn't be.
01:06Oh, got a hit on Mr. Coffee Mug, boss.
01:09Ah.
01:09His biometrics were taken 15 years ago, when he was five.
01:14An asylum seeker?
01:15Arrived unaccompanied. Housed all over. Currently living in London.
01:20He'd be 20 now.
01:22His name's Bola Le Depot.
01:24Send uniforms round.
01:25Already did. He hasn't been home in a couple of days.
01:29Flatmate said he was visiting friends.
01:31He could have friends anywhere, right, boss?
01:34Now, lucky I've got his vehicle registration.
01:36Oh, and also, boss.
01:41Peter.
01:42Heading north to Hallifield.
01:44He really does look haunted.
01:46You're not wrong.
01:48Yeah.
01:48Black suit. Flowers.
01:50He's in mourning, carrying yellow roses.
01:54I have a few candidates for whose funeral it might have been, too.
01:57Good work, Trent.
02:01Jade confirms your alibi, for now.
02:04She's a good girl, aren't Jade?
02:06She also said you called Mr. Baron a perv.
02:09Spending his days chatting to young criminals.
02:12It's not a cool look, is it?
02:14Yeah, it's the worst part of my job, by far.
02:16You're quite funny, you are.
02:18Jade's lying for you.
02:19God knows why.
02:21But she's given a convincing motive for you to kill Mr. Baron.
02:25I told you, I'm not a sociopath.
02:27No.
02:29But you could be a victim.
02:32Nah.
02:33No.
02:34I've been around too many pedos to ever let one lay a hand on me.
02:38He was a perv, yeah?
02:40But not with me.
02:41If not with you, then who?
02:44That weird kid who works there sometimes.
02:47Talks like a TV doc.
02:50What's his name?
02:52Alfie.
02:53Archie.
02:54Archie.
02:55Archie Ellison.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Him.
02:57Definitely.
03:01Archie.
03:02What the?
03:03Why did nobody?
03:04He's there two, three days a week.
03:06Regular hours.
03:07Working hours.
03:08Right.
03:10Preliminary post-mortem, boss.
03:12He made it to me.
03:20Time of death.
03:222am to 6am.
03:23Fibers in the nostrils indicate.
03:25Suffocation.
03:26Intimate.
03:27Personal.
03:27Pathologist notes.
03:29Raised blood alcohol.
03:30No DNA.
03:32No sexual assault like nobody laid a finger on him.
03:35No.
03:36Just silenced him.
03:38So we've got our how and our when is the why what Kelvin said?
03:41Peter and Archie.
03:42You think it's true?
03:42Doesn't that what I think?
03:44Somebody else thought so.
03:52Trent?
03:53Boss.
03:54The paint at the entrance matches the make and model of Chris Ellison's car.
03:57And Sir Arthur here has been bending the judge's ear with new evidence.
04:00She's issued a warrant on the property.
04:02Good work, Trent.
04:05It's none of social services business.
04:08Working at the nursery is good for Archie's socialization.
04:10Is that right, Archie?
04:12Do you, er, enjoy your job?
04:14The plants?
04:15No.
04:15Is that right, Archie, you could say?
04:20I'm good at biology.
04:21Not people.
04:23But Peter was fine.
04:26So you, you felt comfortable with Peter?
04:29Why would you ask him that?
04:31He knew some interesting works.
04:33And interesting facts.
04:34I felt very comfortable with him.
04:37Until last week.
04:39When he told me I couldn't work there anymore.
04:42Archie, are you when he tells you that's your job?
04:45We dropped you there on Saturday.
04:46Where'd you go?
04:47To his favorite place.
04:48The village.
04:49Then the nursery.
04:51But Peter was busy.
04:54Saturday was his birthday.
04:58And I don't fit in at parties.
05:04Come on, love.
05:05Let's get you upstairs, eh?
05:06Yeah, you can take your game.
05:09He's obsessed with that thing.
05:18Where'd you get that?
05:19On the victim's person.
05:21Well, it's not Archie's.
05:23Well, we don't know that.
05:24Harper.
05:25Let's ask him, shall we?
05:30Archie!
05:32Archie!
05:33It's not like he was in a work camp.
05:36Archie!
05:37How are we to know?
05:38Where he was this weekend.
05:44Archie!
05:45Archie!
05:45He's gone!
05:54Well, where should we look now?
05:56The village.
05:57Lycans like a living in a village.
05:59Huh?
06:00Tell Sir Ravi to pick up the Ellisons and meet us at Ash Tor.
06:11It is bleak.
06:13Jade may have a point saying this place is haunted.
06:31Chris, what if he, what if it's...
06:32I'll go.
06:33I'll go.
06:35This is Ellison.
06:36Come on.
06:36I'll scare you in the car.
06:51You alright, son?
06:53You got a bit of a scare there.
06:57Where is this place?
06:59It's where Peter brought Archie.
07:02I hear it's special.
07:04It's like a village.
07:06Peter said.
07:09Peter knew a lot of things that I don't.
07:12He knew about being scared.
07:15That's why he brought me here.
07:17He said it was the scariest place he'd ever been.
07:20But the most beautiful.
07:24I'm sorry if we scared you, Archie.
07:28I wasn't scared.
07:30I was sad.
07:33It's very sad, Peter dying.
07:37You were friends.
07:40He gave you that.
07:44He said he, it helped him get through bad times.
07:49I was sad for Peter.
07:52But mostly sad for my dad.
07:56Trevor, me? Why?
07:58A fine Archie.
08:00Not really.
08:03I've been sad and angry since we came here.
08:06Me being friends with Peter made it worse.
08:09And I thought, what if losing my job upset you more?
08:14So I came here to plan how to get my job back.
08:18But Saturday was his birthday.
08:22And Sunday?
08:26Sunday I just stayed in my room, listening to you and Mum arguing.
08:29And then?
08:35Right Archie.
08:37So Ravi's going to take you and your parents back to the station now.
08:41Don't worry.
08:42She's going to give you the full tour.
08:44There's a very few people out there.
09:01And then...
09:02Let's go.
09:03Bye.
09:03Bye.
09:04Bye.
09:04Bye.
09:23Yellow Roses
09:35Where Peter was on Wednesday, his friendship with Archie. Either Avery Barron didn't know her father very well, or...
09:43There's something she's not telling us, boss.
09:50Miss Barron, victim support has been trying to reach you.
09:54I'm fine.
09:55No, you're not. Nor was your father.
09:58Emails. Dad didn't care about anything.
10:01Your father took the weight of the world on his shoulders.
10:05And then the funeral on Wednesday.
10:08The... whose funeral?
10:12You didn't know your father went to a funeral last week.
10:15Okay. But...
10:17You knew about your father's friendship with Archie Ellison.
10:23And as a teacher, you knew it was... unusual.
10:28Dad was... unusual.
10:32All he saw was a lonely kid who needed to talk.
10:35Look, I told him that he had to fire him. I told him that people wouldn't understand.
10:38Oh, but he reassured you, right?
10:42No, he...
10:44Called me a fucking hypocrite.
10:46Because you'd slept with a pupil.
10:52That's why you denied he'd been upset recently.
10:54Because you thought you were the reason.
11:00Dad confronted me about it last week. He wouldn't say...
11:03How he knew.
11:05Um...
11:06Natasha, I thought.
11:08Irresponsible gossip.
11:10Hounding.
11:11Dad abusing her power.
11:12You abused your power.
11:14Your responsibility.
11:15You know who told your father.
11:17We need his name.
11:20He's got nothing to do with this.
11:24The...
11:26I was an NQT.
11:2823.
11:29And he was nearly 18.
11:29And I broke it off.
11:31I blocked him.
11:33I'm a good teacher.
11:34Just the student's name, Miss Barron.
11:37I...
11:39I could resign.
11:40Sight burnout.
11:42Though...
11:43Female STEM teacher, my level, they...
11:45They'll beg me to stay.
11:48But he was special.
11:50Brilliant.
11:51He came here as a refugee, and now he's...
11:54He's got a medical scholarship.
11:56I...
11:57Made that happen.
11:58His name.
12:03Follow the depot.
12:10Are they the yellow roses that Peter bought?
12:13Mm-hmm.
12:14And he took them to Ashtore for a reason.
12:23Trent.
12:24Ashgamb.
12:24Yes.
12:35Trent.
12:36The scratch on Chris's car puts him at Mr. Barron's win.
12:41Not sure.
12:42But you're Boller the depot.
12:44ANPR has him leaving Junction 26 at 1602.
12:4730 minutes from the scene.
12:49And Natasha was there Sunday.
12:51So now Boller was there too.
12:53An hour later.
12:55Boss.
12:55The dash cam.
12:56What?
13:01It's like you said.
13:03You make your choices for your kids.
13:05And you make it work.
13:08And, uh...
13:08Has it worked?
13:10Social services harassing us.
13:12Trying to keep you lot at bay.
13:14And Archie not sleeping recently.
13:16Well, we know why now.
13:18Peter sacking him sent Archie into a meltdown every night last week.
13:21Why didn't Peter just tell me himself?
13:23Archie didn't want that.
13:25He thought their friendship made you angry.
13:28No, of course not.
13:33It's just...
13:34When you've got a son like Archie...
13:37Every smile matters.
13:39And Peter had them instead.
13:41Must have been painful.
13:44I was angry.
13:47But that doesn't mean I drove around there and killed the man.
13:51I know you didn't, Mr. Ellison.
13:55Miss Ellison.
13:58From the dash cam in your car.
14:01Outside Peter Barron's house.
14:09When Peter took our son away, it was the last straw.
14:16I went to his house.
14:18I told him to leave my family alone.
14:19And then I left.
14:20But you scraped your car, entering Mr. Barron's property.
14:24Just as the GPS placed you at the scene.
14:27Whether you meant to or not,
14:28you switched off your dash cam.
14:30So, unless someone saw you leave...
14:33There was someone.
14:33A young black man.
14:35Peter came to meet him at the door.
14:37So this is Junction 20 to get to the end.
14:52I was going to invite you all for a drink as a gesture of...
14:57But I can see you're busy.
14:59I'll get out of your way.
15:01Stay.
15:01We may need all hands on deck to wrap this one up.
15:04Right.
15:05So, our Mr. Coffee Cup guy
15:09and only forensics we have from the scene
15:12is confirmed at the house on Sunday by Pippa Ellison.
15:16And, extremely persistent.
15:19It's ANPR from 15 minutes ago.
15:21He's coming back to Washington.
15:23Follow the depot, please.
15:27Tips and the updates.
15:29You're spot on, boss.
15:31He's editor Peter Barron's.
15:33Thanks, Trent.
15:39Follow the depot.
15:40Do not move, eh?
15:44I think the station's packed enough already, Jack.
15:49Stand down.
15:50I want to talk to you.
15:52All right.
15:53I think...
15:54Come.
16:03When I first came here,
16:06I was surprised
16:07places like this even existed.
16:09For kids to just...
16:12play.
16:14When I read of Mr. Barron's passing,
16:17I...
16:17I had to come
16:18to pay my respects.
16:20Risky.
16:21This kind of scandal
16:22could ruin your chances as...
16:23Minister for Health.
16:25Just stop.
16:32I think this is yours.
16:37Teacher's pet.
16:39That's what she called me.
16:41She said I was...
16:45special.
16:46You sent it to Mr. Barron,
16:48looking for a reaction
16:49from her.
16:50Not from him.
16:51A childish of me.
16:53You were a child.
16:55You wanted what happened
16:56to be acknowledged.
16:57Instead,
16:58he wrote me
16:58a very kind letter.
17:12Betrayed her responsibility.
17:14Poisoned fruit
17:14from a poisoned tree.
17:16I particularly
17:16recall that phrase.
17:18He asks if you
17:20want to talk.
17:21So,
17:21Sunday afternoon,
17:23you drove here.
17:24He'd been drinking.
17:25I'd just buried
17:26one of his childhood
17:27friends that week,
17:28he said.
17:28One of his
17:30four musketeers.
17:34Only two of them
17:34left now, though.
17:36He said,
17:36but a thousand regrets.
17:39We both carried that,
17:40you know,
17:41that shame
17:42for what we'd done.
17:45You have nothing
17:46to be ashamed of.
17:47That's what he said.
17:49Not mine to carry.
17:50But the shame
17:51belongs to...
17:52The one who did the harm.
17:54She will never
17:56teach again.
18:09This yours?
18:111991.
18:12It's a bit vintage
18:13for me.
18:17Oh, my God.
18:21Summer in England.
18:28Chris,
18:30Pippa,
18:30and Archie Ellison,
18:32they...
18:32Phones locate them
18:33at home.
18:34And Bola Lodipo
18:36has a solid alibi.
18:38Doorbell camera
18:39places him arriving
18:39at foster parents
18:40at 7.15.
18:41They confirmed
18:42his day of the night.
18:43Another dead end.
18:46Jade,
18:47still down in her cell.
18:49And killed
18:49a strut of
18:49the one in prison.
18:50It's a little bit.
18:51Preliminary report.
18:53Fibres in the nose
18:54and mouth
18:55indicate obstruction.
18:57Mechanical asphyxia
18:58likely caused
19:00by occlusion
19:01of the nose and mouth.
19:04Smothering.
19:06Sentiment.
19:07Personal.
19:09And silencing.
19:14I won't be silent.
19:16We won't be silent.
19:17Shut up.
19:18Shut it down.
19:19You want us to be quiet,
19:20but we won't.
19:21Shut up.
19:22Be quiet.
19:23Same words,
19:24same phrases.
19:24Like they all came from...
19:26From the same person.
19:28Check it, Trent.
19:34What are you thinking?
19:36Not Avery.
19:38Natasha.
19:39She knew about
19:40those juvenile offenses.
19:41They're confidential.
19:42You're right, boss.
19:43They're from
19:44one IP address.
19:45All of them.
19:55The Malicious Communications Act
19:57make these chargeable
19:58offensives.
19:59That prove
19:59I didn't kill Peter.
20:02The reason I'm interested
20:03in you, Miss Scope,
20:04the only reason,
20:06is you keep saying
20:07some candidates
20:08were unsuitable.
20:09They were.
20:10One boy was involved
20:12in a joint enterprise
20:13stabbing.
20:14Like that.
20:15There is no legal way
20:17for you to know
20:18their juvenile records.
20:19We've checked your laptop,
20:21your phone.
20:22No one sent them to you.
20:24So, who is your source,
20:25Miss Scope?
20:28Joseph Ward.
20:30Hey, boss.
20:32Joseph loved Peter.
20:34Like, he loved this game.
20:35It changed his life.
20:36Maybe Joseph
20:37didn't love Peter that much.
20:38Maybe he loved
20:39being around criminals more.
20:41Like the one who showed up
20:42on his doorstep
20:42at 3 a.m. Sunday morning.
20:44The one you've all
20:45been out searching for.
20:46I'm sorry, I'm...
20:49But Kelvin Jones
20:51turned up at
20:52Joseph Ward's
20:53Saturday night.
20:55How could you
20:55possibly know that?
20:57Because she was
20:58sleeping with him.
21:01But Joseph Ward...
21:03C.P.S. will be in touch.
21:10Yeah, Dad.
21:12This is someone's
21:13animal shit.
21:15Hey!
21:16I've got
21:16dropping ribs
21:17and everything, you know?
21:19Dead man walking.
21:21And I tell you,
21:22look,
21:22look as stunning as ever.
21:25Yeah, come on.
21:25What are you looking at?
21:30She's done.
21:31I'm getting you all now.
21:33Come on.
21:34Nice work, Trent.
21:36Good night.
21:36At first.
21:39What?
21:39Hey, where are you going?
21:41What?
21:42Home.
21:43Put my kids to bed.
21:45What?
21:47But...
21:47I didn't know you were...
21:49Yeah?
21:50Well,
21:50I never came up.
21:52Why else would I
21:53join the team?
21:54Flexi time, mate.
21:56Good night.
21:57Well, hang on.
21:57So you...
21:58So you're...
21:59You're coming back, right?
22:01Yeah.
22:02You're stuck with me.
22:03Lucky man.
22:05Um,
22:06how, er...
22:07How many kids
22:08have you got here?
22:09Three.
22:09And a half.
22:12For a cop,
22:12you're not very observant.
22:14Seriously, boss.
22:16We've got our work
22:17cut out yet.
22:18Hey, hey, hey.
22:20Uh, say hello
22:21to the kids for me.
22:23Oh, shit.
22:26Why do you never
22:26tell me anything?
22:27Just to use your eyes.
22:31Calvin's ready
22:31in the interview room.
22:32Hey.
22:34We found these at Jade's.
22:35She's been handling
22:36your stolen credit cards
22:38and you've been
22:39hiding out at the pub.
22:41So you were
22:42with her Sunday night.
22:44But Saturday,
22:45you got the relocating letter.
22:47So why are you still here?
22:48When I got the letter
22:49from Mr. B,
22:50I didn't know what to do.
22:51That's why you ran
22:52to Joseph Ward.
22:54No problem,
22:54JW.
22:55You couldn't sort.
22:57He was the clean-up
22:58and organised guy.
22:59I trusted him.
23:00But I guess you've got to
23:03respect the booty call.
23:06Wait till Monday,
23:07he said.
23:08It'll all be different.
23:09So I hid out at Jade's.
23:11Went to work Monday,
23:12then Mr. B's dead.
23:14Place is crawling with police.
23:16Joseph proper screwed me.
23:18Uh, 2012.
23:20DS Harper exits the room.
23:26Look, just...
23:27Please don't tell JW
23:28I snitched, okay?
23:30Because I've given you
23:31a lot of info there,
23:32which makes me
23:33a significant witness,
23:34doesn't it?
23:35That's got to be
23:35a couple of months
23:36off me sentence.
23:37Yeah.
23:39And tell Jade
23:39I'm an arsehole,
23:40because
23:42I reckon she can
23:43probably do better.
23:44Don't worry, Kelvin.
23:46I definitely will.
23:52Renzig says
23:53it's the most professional
23:53crime scene clean-up
23:54we've ever seen.
23:55Right.
23:56What was he doing
23:57on Sunday night?
23:58Has he got any kind
23:59of alibi?
23:59Have we even checked?
24:01And he sleeps
24:02with the victim's ex
24:02Saturday,
24:03sets up Kelvin Jones
24:04as a murder suspect
24:05Monday.
24:06Joseph Ward was the best
24:07crime scene cleaner
24:08in the business.
24:09Yeah, that's, uh,
24:10what he was sent down
24:11for, boss.
24:12Cleaning up after a murder.
24:23Me and Natasha,
24:26I'm not proud of it.
24:28But the parish
24:29owns my flat.
24:30And Natasha
24:31runs the parish.
24:32So you fed her
24:33information
24:34to keep a roof
24:35over your head?
24:35And my job.
24:37Whatever it took
24:38for her not to tell
24:38Mr. B.
24:39No doubt
24:39he loved your job.
24:41Judging by your time sheets,
24:43you're usually
24:44first in,
24:45last out.
24:45Apart from Mr. B, yeah.
24:47Up at the crack,
24:48as Kelvin put it.
24:50You don't like Kelvin,
24:51do you?
24:51He's a lying little shit.
24:53He's got a lot of time
24:54for you, Joseph.
24:55He called you the, uh,
24:57clean up and
24:58organised guy.
25:00And he trusted you.
25:01He ran to your house
25:03Saturday when he was
25:04in trouble.
25:05A detail that you
25:06didn't whisper in my ear.
25:08I told him to go home.
25:10Which is exactly
25:11what Mr. B would have done.
25:12What you told him
25:14was Monday
25:15everything would be
25:16different.
25:17Oh yeah, but I didn't
25:19mean...
25:20No, I meant
25:22Mr. B would sort
25:23everything out for Kelvin.
25:26How could I have known
25:26if he'd be dead?
25:28It's just Mr. B,
25:29he trusted you too.
25:32Trusted you with the
25:33keys to his house.
25:35Yeah.
25:36And Mr. B never
25:37locked anything.
25:38Oh, so you came and
25:39went.
25:39Free access.
25:40Oh, yeah.
25:42I only go where I'm
25:43invited.
25:44Right.
25:47Look, I loved that man.
25:50He literally gave me
25:52my life back.
25:52So what exactly do I
25:53get from killing him?
25:54It's not about what
25:55you would get, Joseph.
25:56It's about what you
25:57would lose if Peter
25:58found out.
25:59If someone,
26:01Kelvin perhaps,
26:03told him that you
26:03were sleeping with
26:04the woman out to
26:05destroy his life's
26:06work.
26:10Right.
26:11I'm going to help
26:12you here.
26:13So Monday, you're
26:15first in long before
26:16Miss Scalp at 8am.
26:24I get to the house
26:25about 5.30am.
26:27Like anyone, start of
26:29the week, you ask your
26:30boss what needs to be
26:31done.
26:31So you go to Peter's
26:32house, Peter's awake,
26:33he's been drinking,
26:35he's found out what
26:35you've done, and you
26:37argue.
26:37No, no, that's not
26:38what happened.
26:39I never argued with a
26:41word that man said.
26:42You said he hadn't been
26:45himself lately, and the
26:47door was left open that
26:48day.
26:48Which is why I went in,
26:49drinking, yeah.
26:50And then I saw the empty
26:51bottle of whiskey on the
26:52table and...
26:53One glass washed, one
26:54glass with scotch left
26:56in it.
26:56You picked it up.
26:58I don't drink.
26:59So you emptied it down
27:00the sink.
27:01Then went looking
27:02around the house for
27:03Mr. B, found him, and
27:05panicked.
27:05Because I knew how it
27:06would look.
27:07Come on.
27:08The glass with your
27:09prints on it, you had to
27:11bleach that.
27:12And you worried your
27:13prints could be anywhere.
27:15So you started cleaning
27:17up, because that's what
27:19you do.
27:20Because I knew I'd be
27:21blamed.
27:21Framed.
27:23But I didn't kill him.
27:27The clean-up and
27:28organized guy on
27:29autopilot scrubbed the
27:31scene, then left the
27:34door open so Mr. B
27:37wouldn't be alone for
27:38long.
27:40And then you washed
27:41the sheets, yeah?
27:47doing me for scrubbing
27:48the ass, yeah.
27:50And for doing his
27:51laundry.
27:54Nothing places him at
27:55the scene.
27:56Because he destroyed
27:57the evidence.
27:58I mean, why would he
27:58clean up after a crime
28:00he didn't commit?
28:01Because he couldn't
28:02bear to be accused of
28:03killing his best friend.
28:04Everything Joseph Ward
28:05did, the clean-up,
28:07passing info to Miss
28:08Scope, was to hold on
28:10to the life Peter Baron
28:11gave him.
28:12OK.
28:13We are going to
28:14charge him, aren't we?
28:15We are.
28:16Failure to report,
28:17obstructing an
28:17investigation.
28:18I'll take that.
28:20Behold him overnight,
28:21ramp up the pressure
28:22tomorrow till he folds.
28:23Fine.
28:25So, what about that
28:26drink?
28:27You deserve it, DCI.
28:29The way you work this
28:29case.
28:30Go ahead.
28:31See you in a bit.
28:32I've got a couple of
28:34boxes to dig here.
28:35Yeah.
28:38Hey.
28:39Come on, you two.
28:52Sorry to bother you, boss,
28:53but...
28:54They're all celebrating
28:55at the pub.
28:55I'm not much of a drinker.
28:57And I know I'm only a
28:59probie, but I was
29:00looking through the
29:01Alison file before the
29:01hearing last Thursday.
29:03When dear Sullivan was
29:04out of sorts.
29:05Sorry, I just...
29:06I think a senior officer
29:08should look it over.
29:09OK.
29:10Thanks, boss.
29:11And the SD card from the
29:13crime scene you asked for.
29:15The original images, my
29:16CSI friend.
29:18Came through.
29:19Sounds like a keeper.
29:39The cycle takes two hours
29:42and 42 minutes.
29:49Moise.
29:51Moise.
29:56Moise.
30:18Four musketeers.
30:41Ninety-ninety-one.
30:42It's a bit vintage for me.
31:11Right, Saravi, suck-o-friend.
31:14Come on.
31:15The pictures are all here.
31:17The album.
31:29Oh, Dad.
31:31Look at you there.
31:32Just a little kid.
31:36Yeah.
31:37The birthday card.
32:00Oh, Mum.
32:02I, er...
32:02Thanks, but no, DS.
32:04Haven't any start in the morning?
32:05Family?
32:06Ah, well.
32:07Understood.
32:09Well, incredible work, DCI.
32:12Joseph Ward.
32:13Means.
32:14Motive.
32:15Right place, right time.
32:17So all about the timeline.
32:22Okay, ladies and gentlemen.
32:24Must order's in the bar, please.
32:27Two coffees to go, please, Jade.
32:30And...
32:31Kelvin told me to tell you
32:33that he's an arsehole
32:35and you can do better.
32:37Which he is
32:38and you can.
32:40You're a smart girl, Jade.
32:42You see things.
32:44That is what I've been saying.
32:46But you ruin it
32:47with your foolishness.
32:49Like about Ash Tall
32:50being haunted.
32:51But that's true.
32:52They killed that boy up there.
32:54Get your arse in gear, girl.
33:03You had me at timeline.
33:10The sheets.
33:11The 90-degree cycle
33:13was too long
33:14for Joseph Ward
33:14to kill Peter Barron,
33:16wash the sheets
33:17and fold them
33:17before Miss Scope arrived.
33:20Our timeline...
33:21Boss, no, no, no, no, no.
33:22Took us from Saturday night at the pub
33:24to Monday morning
33:25when Peter Barron was found.
33:28When it was a Monday afternoon
33:29that mattered.
33:31That's when evidence
33:32was taken from the scene.
33:33And it's that evidence
33:35that links the killer
33:36to Peter Barron.
33:37Right.
33:38The four musketeers.
33:40First,
33:41a local boy,
33:43Evan Laird.
33:46B.
33:47B.
33:48Died on Ash Tall
33:51in 1991.
33:521991.
33:53The coroner ruled it an accident.
33:56The second
33:56was Alan Moyes.
33:58Ah,
33:58whose funeral
33:59Peter attended.
34:01Yes.
34:02Military hero
34:03took his own life
34:04after years of addiction.
34:06Broken by a shame
34:07he couldn't make up for.
34:08Peter Barron,
34:09the third musketeer.
34:10Hmm.
34:11Obsessed with saving
34:12every lost boy.
34:13Hi, boss.
34:14So we've got
34:14Bevan,
34:15Alan,
34:16Peter.
34:17Hmm.
34:17But there's one left.
34:18Who?
34:19Someone who's just moved back here.
34:21Who had unfinished business
34:22with Peter on Saturday night.
34:23Who came back Sunday night
34:25with a birthday card.
34:27You mean,
34:28DS Oliver?
34:31What the?
34:34What's going on?
34:37No, no.
34:38Oliver,
34:39we're here to help.
34:39Open the door.
35:03I think he's stopped for now.
35:06But boss,
35:07Joseph,
35:07doesn't look good.
35:08The head wound,
35:08we need a hostage team
35:10and a battering run for the door.
35:11By the time they get here,
35:12Joseph will have bled out.
35:13I'll keep him calm.
35:15You find something to get us in.
35:16Yes, boss.
35:18Must have hurt.
35:19Doing all that to yourself.
35:21Clever, though.
35:23With Joseph dead,
35:24the case would have been closed.
35:25Joseph Ward killed Peter.
35:28He attacked me.
35:29He tried to escape.
35:29You saw it with your own eyes.
35:31That's why I had to restrain him.
35:32I locked the door
35:33to keep you safe.
35:34I understand all that.
35:35Only,
35:36careful, DS,
35:37you should back away now.
35:39I'm fine.
35:41I can't.
35:43Because if Joseph doesn't recover,
35:45you need to be able to say
35:46you were following protocol.
35:49I was.
35:50I did.
35:51That you didn't lose control.
35:53I didn't mean to hurt him.
35:54Of course you didn't.
35:55Just like you didn't mean to hurt Bevan
35:57all those years ago.
36:00In the place where it all began.
36:03I still.
36:06Just boys.
36:07Playing.
36:08Get up!
36:09Until
36:10you snapped.
36:14Temple punch.
36:15Just vessels and nerves.
36:17Soft tissue.
36:21Peter said it wasn't fair
36:23for one of us
36:23to take responsibility.
36:25For all of us
36:25to take the blame.
36:27All for one.
36:28And one for all.
36:30So none of you
36:31took responsibility.
36:33And the blow
36:33that killed Bevan
36:34was hidden
36:35from the damage
36:36from the fall.
36:37A terrible tragedy.
36:39Peter swore
36:40us all to silence.
36:46We all went
36:46our separate ways.
36:48But after Alan's funeral
36:49with half of the musketeers
36:52dead
36:53Peter told you
36:54he couldn't keep silent
36:56any longer.
36:58I said let's talk about it
37:00before we make
37:01any snap decisions
37:02speak to anyone else.
37:04Change our lives forever.
37:05So Sunday night
37:08you chatted
37:09about old times.
37:10There he is.
37:11But Peter couldn't
37:12help himself.
37:13He only wanted to speak
37:15about the terrible secret
37:16that tied you
37:16to one another.
37:18Bevan.
37:20Do you remember that?
37:22We were just kids.
37:24It wasn't our fault.
37:25Not really.
37:26He was ready to speak
37:27to the press.
37:28The police.
37:28He said it was time
37:29for us to take responsibility.
37:31We can't carry
37:32the shame forever.
37:34Easy for him to say.
37:35Who would blame Peter?
37:36The big success
37:37who'd spent his life
37:39helping others.
37:39Alan.
37:40A dead army hero.
37:42Who'd blame him.
37:43But me.
37:46A mediocre detective
37:48ending a shitty career
37:49in the middle of nowhere
37:51who'd spent three and a half
37:52decades hiding the fact
37:53that he'd help
37:53beat your kid to death.
37:54And that's why
37:55you had to silence him.
37:56Hey.
37:59Just shut up!
38:00Too many whiskies
38:01to drive home.
38:03Peter made you up a bed
38:04and that's my need.
38:05You'd be better
38:06after a good sleep, eh?
38:08What are you doing?
38:09Get!
38:10Get!
38:11Let me do it!
38:12Shut up!
38:13Just...
38:14Shut up!
38:14Come on!
38:15Come on!
38:16Come on!
38:18Get!
38:19Get!
38:22Get!
38:22Get!
38:23Get!
38:25Get!
38:31All through this case
38:32I've had the feeling
38:34that someone was
38:35a step ahead of me.
38:37Removing and destroying evidence
38:39anything pointing to the real killer
38:42was hidden in plain sight
38:45or disposed of.
38:51But Joseph couldn't delete
38:53CSI photos.
38:56And the killer wasn't
38:58one step ahead.
39:00You were right beside me
39:02walking the scene
39:05seeing everything you'd left
39:07that tied you to Peter
39:08to Bevan.
39:13So you went back
39:14to Peter's house
39:15took the card
39:16took the album
39:17the phone
39:21but a trained officer
39:23who knew how to retrace his steps
39:26wipe down where he'd been
39:28wash his glass
39:30and then leave the door open
39:33knowing Joseph would worry
39:35enter
39:36put prints all over the house
39:40framing an innocent man
39:42Bevan's death was a tragedy
39:44no one alive knows that
39:45more than me
39:46but the rest of that
39:47was pure fantasy
39:49DCI Alice.
39:50Only Joseph here
39:51has motive
39:52means and opportunity
39:53there's not one single piece
39:54of physical evidence
39:55places me at Peter Barron's
39:56on Sunday night.
39:57Yes there is.
39:59The birthday card
40:00you brought him.

40:02Where are you going?
40:03Hey!
40:04Come back here!

40:12Hidden in plain sight
