00:00Criminals bust into 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 person,
00:28I 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 right here.
00:47Yes?
00:48Follow 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.
01:14Which you forgot to mention.
01:17Protocol DS.
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, when 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.
02:06He 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, carrying yellow roses.
02:36Of 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?
02:48She 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.
02:59You look 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.
03:10No.
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, yeah?
03:24But not with me.
03:25If not with you, then who?
03:29That weird kid who works there sometimes.
03:32Talks like a TV doc.
03:34What's his name?
03:36Alfie.
03:37Archie.
03:38That's Archie.
03:40Archie Ellison.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Him.
03:42Definitely.
03:46Archie?
03:47What the?
03:48I don't know, buddy.
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, 2am to 6am.
04:09Fibers in the nostrils indicate.
04:11Suffocation.
04:12Intimate.
04:13Personal.
04:14Pathologist notes raise blood alcohol.
04:17No 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.
04:40Train?
04:41Boss, the paint at the entrance matches the make and model of Chris Ellison's car.
04:45And Saravi 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?
05:02Do you enjoy your job?
05:03The plants?
05:04It's okay, Archie, you can say.
05:09I'm good at biology.
05:10Not people.
05:13But Peter was fine.
05:15So you, you 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.
05:27Until 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. Where'd you go?
05:37To his favourite place, the village.
05:40Then the nursery.
05:42But Peter was busy.
05:45Saturday was his birthday.
05:49And 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!
06:25It'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 Saravi 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.
07:30Mrs Ellison.
07:31Come on.
07:32I'll go.
07:33I'll go.
07:37I'll go.
07:41I'll go.
07:48I'll go.
07:51Hello 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.
08:33Peter dying.
08:35You were friends.
08:38He gave you that.
08:42I said he...
08:44It helped him get through bad times.
08:48I was sad for Peter.
08:51But mostly sad for my dad.
08:55Trevor, me?
08:55Why?
08:57I find Archie.
08:59Not really.
09:03Been 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.
09:23And 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.
09:44She's going to give you the full tour.
09:46Hm.
10:27YELLOW ROSES
10:29YELLOW ROSES
10:38YELLOW ROSES
10:40On Wednesday. His friendship with 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 any...
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...
11:33Unusual.
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.
11:53Because you'd slept with 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...
12:13Um...
12:15Natasha, I thought.
12:17Irresponsible gossip.
12:18Hounding.
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.
12:30He's got nothing to do with this.
12:36I was an NQT.
12:3823.
12:38And he was nearly 18.
12:39And 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.
13:03He 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.
13:37Cheers.
13:48Trent, the scratch on Chris's car puts him at Mr. Barron's win.
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.
14:28And 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.
14:49It'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
15:06and killed the man.
15:08I know you didn't, Mr. Ellison.
15:13Miss Ellison.
15:15From the dash cam in your car,
15:18outside Peter Barron's house.
15:27When 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.
15:45Whether 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 Tenters.
15:57We're to the end.
16:09Sorry, Grace.
16:10Not now.
16:12I was going to invite you all for a drink
16:15as a gesture of, uh...
16:17But I can see you're busy.
16:19I'll get out of your way.
16:21Stay.
16:22We may need all hands on deck
16:23to wrap this one up.
16:25Right.
16:26So, our Mr. Coffee Cup guy
16:30and only forensics we have
16:32from the scene
16:33is confirmed at the house
16:35on Sunday
16:35by Pippa Ellison.
16:37And
16:39extremely persistent.
16:41It's ANPR
16:41from 15 minutes ago.
16:43He's coming back
16:44to Washington.
16:45Follow the depot, please.
16:49Tips and the updates.
16:50Will do.
16:51You were spot on, boss.
16:53He's headed to Peter Barron's.
16:54Thanks, Trent.
17:02Follow the depot.
17:04Do not move, eh?
17:07I think the station's
17:08packed enough already, Chet.
17:11Stand down.
17:13I want to talk to you.
17:15Right.
17:17Come.
17:26When I first came here
17:29I was surprised
17:30places like this
17:32even existed
17:33for kids to just
17:36play.
17:38When I read of
17:39Mr. Barron's passing
17:41I had to come
17:42to pay my respects.
17:44Risky.
17:45This kind of scandal
17:46could ruin your chances
17:47as...
17:48Minister for Health
17:49to start.
17:57I think this is yours.
18:02Peter's pet.
18:04That's what she called me.
18:07She said I was...
18:10special.
18:12You sent it to Mr. Barron
18:13looking 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, he wrote me
18:24a very kind letter.
18:39Betrayed her responsibility.
18:41Poisoned fruit
18:42from a poisoned tree.
18:43I particularly
18:43recall that phrase.
18:46He asked
18:47if you want to talk.
18:48So, Sunday afternoon
18:50we drove here.
18:51He'd been drinking.
18:53I'd just buried
18:54one of his childhood
18:55friends that week,
18:55he said.
18:56One of his
18:58four musketeers.
19:02Only 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 yours?
19:401991.
19:42It's a bit
19:43vintage for me.
19:47Oh, my God.
19:52Summer in England.
19:59Chris,
20:00Pippa
20:01and Archie Ellison,
20:03they...
20:03Phones locate them
20:04at home.
20:05Yeah.
20:05And Bola
20:06Ladipo
20:07has a solid alibi.
20:09Doorbell camera
20:10places him arriving
20:11at foster parents
20:12at 7.15.
20:13They confirmed
20:14he stayed the night.
20:15Another dead end.
20:17So, Jade,
20:18he's still down
20:19in her cell.
20:20And you're
20:21going to be
20:21in prison.
20:22It's like, wait.
20:23Preliminary report.
20:25Fibers in the nose
20:26and mouth
20:27indicate obstruction.
20:30Mechanical asphyxia
20:31likely caused
20:32by occlusion
20:33of the nose
20:34and mouth.
20:37Smothering.
20:39It's intimate,
20:40personal
20:41and silencing.
20:47I won't be silent.
20:49We won't be silent.
20:51Shut up.
20:51Shut it down.
20:52You want us to be quiet,
20:53but we won't.
20:54Shut up.
20:55Be quiet.
20:56Same words,
20:57same phrases.
20:58Like, they all came from...
20:59From the same person?
21:02Check it, Trent.
21:08What do you think of?
21:11Not Avery.
21:13Natasha.
21:13She knew about
21:14those juvenile offences.
21:15They're confidential.
21:16You're right, boss.
21:18They're from one IP address.
21:20All of them.
21:29The Malicious Communications Act
21:31make these chargeable offensives.
21:33That prove
21:34I didn't kill Peter.
21:36The reason I'm interested
21:38in you, Miss Scope,
21:39the only reason,
21:41is you keep saying
21:42some candidates
21:43were unsuitable.
21:44They were.
21:46one boy was involved
21:47in a joint enterprise stabbing.
21:49Like that.
21:51There is no legal way
21:53for you to know
21:53their juvenile records.
21:55We've checked your laptop,
21:56your phone.
21:58No one sent them to you.
21:59So, who is your source,
22:01Miss Scope?
22:04Joseph Ward.
22:07Hey, boss.
22:08Joseph loved Peter.
22:10Like, he loved this game.
22:11It changed his life.
22:13Maybe Joseph didn't
22:14love Peter that much.
22:15Maybe he loved
22:16being around criminals more.
22:18Like the one who showed up
22:19on his doorstep
22:193 a.m. Sunday morning.
22:21The one you've all
22:22been out searching for.
22:24I'm sorry, I'm...
22:26But Kelvin Jones
22:28turned up at
22:30Joseph Ward's
22:31Saturday night.
22:32How could you
22:33possibly know that?
22:34Because she was
22:35sleeping with him.
22:38But Joseph Ward?
22:41CPS will be in touch.
22:43He was
22:49yet.
22:50This is so...,
22:51terrible
22:52shit. Hey!
23:10I've
23:11got
23:11long now. Come on. Nice work, Trent. Good night. At first. What? Hey, where you got? What? Home. Put my
23:23kids to bed. What? Bye. I didn't know you were. Yeah? Well, I never came up. Where else would I
23:33join the team? Flexi time, mate. No, no, no.
23:37Well, hang on. So you're coming back, right? Yeah. He's stuck with me. Lucky man. How many kids have you
23:49got? Three and a half. For a cop, you're not very observant. Seriously, boss. We've got our work cut out
23:59yet. Say hello to the kids for me. Oh, shit.
24:08Why do you never tell me anything, boss? Just use your eyes.
24:13Calvin's ready in the interview room. Okay.
24:16We found these at Jade's. She's been handling your stolen credit cards, and you've been hiding out at the pub.
24:24So you were with her Sunday night.
24:27But Saturday, you got the relocating letter. So 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. Couldn't sort.
24:40He was the clean-up and organised guy.
24:42I trusted him, but...
24:46I 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.
24:58Place is crawling with police.
25:00Joseph proper screwed me.
25:03Er, 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, which makes me a significant witness, doesn't it?
25:20That's got to be a couple of months off me sentence.
25:24And tell Jade I'm an arsehole, because I 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 clean-up they've ever seen, right?
25:42What was he doing on Sunday night?
25:44Has he got any kind of alibi? Have we even checked?
25:48He sleeps with the victim's ex Saturday, sets up Kelvin Jones as a murder suspect Monday.
25:53Joseph Ward was the best crime scene cleaner in the business.
25:56Yeah, that's, er, what he was sent down for, boss.
25:59Cleaning up after a murder.
26:11Me and Natasha, I'm...
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. B.
26:27No doubt you loved your job.
26:30Judging by your timesheets, you're usually first in, last out.
26:34Apart from Mr. B, 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, er, the clean-up and organise guy.
26:49No, no, no.
26:50And he trusted you.
26:51He ran to your house Saturday when he was in trouble.
26:55Er, a 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.
27:03What you told him was Monday.
27:06Everything 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 own him if he'd be dead?
27:19It was Mr. B.
27:21He trusted you too.
27:23Trusted you with the keys to his house.
27:27Yeah.
27:28But Mr. B never locked anything.
27:30Oh, so you came and went.
27:31Free access.
27:32Oh, yeah.
27:33I only go where I'm invited.
27:36Right.
27:40Look, I loved that man.
27:43He 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.
28:03Right.
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 5.30am.
28:21And like anyone, start of the week, you ask your boss what needs to be done.
28:25So you go to Peter's house.
28:27Peter's awake.
28:28He's been drinking.
28:29He's found out what you've done.
28:30And you argue.
28:31No.
28:32No, that's not what happened.
28:34I never argued with a word that man said.
28:37You said he hadn't been himself lately.
28:41And the door was left open that day.
28:43Which is why I went in.
28:44Yeah.
28:45And then I saw the empty bottle of whiskey on the table and that's fine.
28:48One glass washed.
28:49One 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.
28:59Found him.
29:00And panicked.
29:01Because I knew how it would look.
29:03Come on.
29:04The glass with your prince on it.
29:06You had to bleach that.
29:08And you worried.
29:09Your prince could be anywhere.
29:11So 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.
29:28Scrubbed the scene.
29:30Then left the door open.
29:32So Mr. B.
29:34Wouldn't be alone for long.
29:38And then you washed the sheets, yeah?
29:42What?
29:45Damn you for scrubbing the house, 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.
30:04The clean up.
30:06Passing info to Miss Scope.
30:08Was 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.
30:24So.
30:25What about that drink?
30:27You deserve it, DCI.
30:29The way you work this case.
30:31Go 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.
30:41Come 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, but I was looking through the Alison Farr before the hearing last Thursday.
31:05When dear Sullivan was out of sorts.
31:07Er, sorry, I just, er, I think a senior officer should look it over.
31:11Okay.
31:12Thanks, boss.
31:14And the, er, the SD card from the crime scene you asked for.
31:17The original images, my, er, my CSI friend.
31:20Came through.
31:22Sounds like a keeper.
31:42The cycle takes two hours, 42 minutes.
31:54Moise.
31:56Moise.
32:25Poor musketeers.
32:4790, 90-1.
32:49Is that a vintage for me?
33:15All right.
33:19Right, Saravi's suckle, friend.
33:22Come on.
33:23Pictures are all here.
33:26The album.
33:38Oh, Dad.
33:40Look at you there.
33:41Just a little kid.
33:45The birthday card.
33:48The birthday card.
34:06Cheers.
34:07Cheers.
34:11Oh, Mum.
34:12I, er...
34:13Thanks, but no DS.
34:15Haven't any start in the morning.
34:16Family.
34:17Ah, well, understood.
34:19Well, incredible work, DCI.
34:23Joseph Ward.
34:25Means.
34:26Motive.
34:27Right place, right time.
34:29So all about the timeline.
34:33Okay, ladies and gentlemen, last order, sit in the palm, 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.
35:41When Peter Barron was found.
35:43When it was a Monday afternoon that mattered.
35:46That's when evidence was taken from the scene.
35:49And it's that evidence that links the killer to Peter Barron.
35:53Right.
35:53The four musketeers.
35:56First, a local boy, Bevan Laird.
36:02B.
36:03B.
36:04Died on Ash Tall in 1991.
36:091991.
36:09The coroner ruled it an accident.
36:12The second was Alan Moyes.
36:14Ah, whose 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.
36:27Obsessed with saving every lost boy.
36:30All right, 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?
36:48Ah!
36:49What the?
36:51No!
36:52What's going on?
36:54We can't see you.
36:56No!
36:57No!
36:57Oliver, we're here to help!
36:58Open the door!
37:01Ah!
37:02Enough!
37:03Ah!
37:04Ah!
37:05That is enough, mate!
37:06Ah!
37:07Ah!
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.
37:31By 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, the 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.
37:51That's why I had to restrain him.
37:53I locked the door to keep you safe.
37:54I 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.
38:21In the place where it all began.
38:26I stole.
38:28Just boys.
38:30Playing.
38:31Get up!
38:32Get up!
38:32Until you snapped.
38:36Temple punch.
38:38Just vessels and nerves.
38:40Soft tissue.
38:43Get up!
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.
39:14With half of the musketeers dead.
39:18Peter told you he couldn't keep silent any longer.
39:23I said let's talk about it.
39:25Before we make any snap decisions.
39:27Speak to anyone else.
39:29Change our lives forever.
39:31So Sunday night.
39:33You chatted about old times.
39:36There he is.
39:37But Peter couldn't help himself.
39:38He 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.
40:00He's a friend to say.
40:01Who blamed 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.
40:15Ending 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.
40:32And that's when you...
40:33Feed better after a good sleep, eh?
40:36What are you doing, Mark?
40:38Get...
40:38Get...
40:39Get down.
40:40What are you doing?
40:41Shut up.
40:42Just...
40:42Shut up.
40:43Come on.
40:43Come on.
40:45Get down.
40:48Get down.
40:49Get down.
40:49Get down.
40:51Get down.
40:51Get down.
40:51Get down.
40:52Get down.
40:53Get down.
41:00All through this case, I've had the feeling that someone was a step ahead of me.
41:07Removing 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.
41:56We knew how to retrace his steps.
41:59Wipe down where he'd been.
42:01Wash his glass.
42:02And then leave the door open, knowing Joseph would worry.
42:08Enter.
42:10Put 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 Ellis.
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!
42:38Come 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.
43:09And save Joseph's life.
43:11I wasn't there.
43:13It wasn't me.
43:17The birthday card you brought him.
43:20Which you gave him on Sunday night.
43:23Happy birthday, Peter.
43:25After 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!
43:38No!
43:39No!
43:40Don't.
43:40Don't.
43:43Get off me!
43:44Get off me!
43:45It's over.
43:46It'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.
44:37Guess where?
44:39Guess where?
44:52Listen.
44:54Listen.
44:54Listen.
44:54Shit.
44:55Don't pick up.
44:56I've got this.
44:58Mum, are you there?
45:01Hello.
45:02Assistant Chief Constable Layton.
45:03Your boss is picking on.
