00:20You've got that, yeah?
00:21Yeah, please.
00:25Go on, Gabby!
00:43Steady on, Professor.
00:44Can I get me sat?
00:46Definitely.
00:47You coming for a drink, then?
00:48Maybe.
00:49Come on.
00:50Tim, get a move on.
00:51You've held us up enough.
00:53You say you all missed this place.
00:56Yes.
01:27Josh, you just swag us about.
01:29Josh, you're the one that's the best.
01:31Honestly, I can't stand a lot of them.
01:33Especially him.
01:34He's just got one of those faces.
01:36The guy's a prick.
01:37I wish my dad would give me a warehouse to play with.
01:39You sound a bit miserable.
01:41Why are you still moaning?
01:42The thing is, he grumbles, but he'll never leave.
01:48And another one.
02:10Hello?
02:29I don't know.
03:06Happy, come on love.
03:07I don't want to be late.
03:44I don't want to be late.
04:08I don't want to be late.
04:08Yeah, I read the report.
04:10It's an industrial incident.
04:11A stone works.
04:12You'll understand why when you get there.
04:14You're going to have to do better than that.
04:16The owner's been under investigation before.
04:18Quite publicly accused local police of being biased.
04:21Nothing unusual there.
04:23When does Grace go to Australia?
04:24Er, tomorrow.
04:26Backpack him whilst waiting for a uni offer.
04:28All right for some.
04:29Don't change the subject, Leigh.
04:32This one has friends in high places.
04:33One knot, the whole stationer be under a police internal management review.
04:37And you can't afford that?
04:39Put bluntly, no.
04:41And I know you're stopping from throwing his bricks out of the pram.
04:44A compliment this early.
04:46Must be serious.
04:48All right.
04:49Nice one.
04:52Elmsley is not a million miles away from my neck of the woods.
04:55Mm-hmm.
04:55Grew up just around the corner.
04:59Ooh.
05:00Smell that air, boss.
05:03Trying not to.
05:04So you know about Queen Arties and Stone, then?
05:07Mm.
05:08Yeah, I know the Quinns.
05:09Everyone does.
05:10They are an old-school farming family.
05:14Act like pillars of the community, but they are ruthless as you like.
05:27Bloody hell.
05:29Tress already.
05:32For an industrial accident.
05:43I wonder if you'd be the one they dragged in.
05:46One into you too, Rosie.
05:47Just need a couple more minutes to secure the scene.
05:50I'll give you a bell.
05:50Okay.
05:51Nice one.
05:58Okay.
05:59Listen up, folks.
06:01Listen up.
06:03Now, I can't say much at this stage, but there's been an accident.
06:10Who is it?
06:11It is.
06:12Why won't you tell us?
06:15Is it Abby?
06:17It's her, isn't it?
06:19It's her.
06:22Let's stay calm.
06:24Do what the police say.
06:25And in the meantime, um...
06:29In the meantime, the warehouse is out of bounds, as you can see, until further notice.
06:36Police are going to need names and details from all of you.
06:40Those living on site can return to your accommodation and wait.
06:46Either me or Joshua will come and collect you.
06:49Thank you, Wendy.
06:51At least there's one steady hand on the tiller.
06:53Under no circumstances does anybody talk to the press.
06:58Okay?
06:59I'll handle that.
07:00Thank you all.
07:04Detective Chief Inspector Ellis.
07:07Tell me you're leading this.
07:09That's right.
07:10Appreciate a fresh pair of eyes.
07:12There are those who don't much like us.
07:14You investigated for employment malpractice two years ago.
07:18And cleared.
07:19I need access to the CCTV.
07:22Up in my office.
07:24Wendy Pike, our senior labourer, runs things on the ground.
07:28Joshua, site manager, my eldest.
07:31Anything I can do, I just want to help get this resolved.
07:41Right, there she is.
07:4212.01am.
07:44Looks like she's on her own.
07:48She's looking for something.
07:50Or someone.
07:54This internal camera covers the left warehouse.
07:57I assume there's one covering the right.
07:59It's offline, apparently, plus the one outside covering the doors.
08:03They went offline a couple of days ago.
08:07The fella's coming Thursday to fix them.
08:09Oh, that's news to me.
08:13Oh, Rosie.
08:14Hello.
08:17Yep, we are on our way.
08:20Fantastic.
08:28Hey.
08:56Strap securing the scaffolding was released.
08:58It looks that way.
09:00Let's see.
09:03Trauma to the lateral posterior temple line.
09:07Mm-hmm.
09:08Straight, sharp line.
09:10Broadly consistent with the corner of the scaffolding.
09:13The wound to the back of the head is deep.
09:15Possibly fatal.
09:16Well, we'll know more after the post-mortem.
09:20I'd like to see a phone.
09:22Phone?
09:23She was using it as a torch.
09:25Answering a phone.
09:26I mean, I could have skidded away, but we've done the initial sweep.
09:30Check pockets.
09:32That second camera.
09:33Uh, that is the one that's down.
09:35Uh, covers the port-a-cabin office and everything at this end of the warehouse.
09:40Let's check for bloodstains.
09:48Hang on.
09:50Vertical drip trail.
09:52Meaning she was upright and they fell down her back.
09:54Not very likely under a pile of scaffolding.
09:58Got a partial handprint.
10:00And her hand is nowhere near it.
10:03We haven't moved her.
10:04I'd say she shifted as the scaffolding fell.
10:08And she was already lying here bleeding when the scaffolding dropped on her.
10:13Want this whole area cordoned off for forensics?
10:15Yep.
10:16Want her phone triangulated?
10:17And have uniforms up here for a fingertip search?
10:21Abby was murdered.
10:23And given that that camera was taken out, it's likely that it was premeditated.
10:50Morning, everyone.
10:52Gather round, please.
10:54As you know, Abby Marshall was a local girl.
10:57Grew up with her mum, Tina.
10:59But between university terms, these past four years, she's been working at Quinn Artisan Stone.
11:08So, I'd like to introduce you to DCI Ellis, DS Harper.
11:12And we're fortunate enough that they'll be running this one.
11:15So anything they need, we give.
11:18Okay?
11:18I want 110% on this.
11:21They'll task you as and when.
11:23Let's crack on.
11:24Yes, sir.
11:26I didn't know Abby or her mum, sadly.
11:31You know Elliot Quinn, though?
11:33It's more that he knows me.
11:36And it's right that we don't let Dad jeopardise this investigation.
11:39You're through here.
11:49Is this okay?
11:51Yeah.
11:52Great.
11:54It's good.
11:57I'm guessing you don't get the red carpet treatment much.
12:00You could, er, you could say that.
12:02DCI Chalmers, we'll need everything your team's put together in terms of a timeline.
12:06And I'd like to see all the local crime reports for the past week and Tina Marshall's address, please.
12:12Oh, of course.
12:16Makes things easier, boss.
12:18I was thinking the opposite.
12:20What?
12:21This team want to take Elliot Quinn down.
12:24Mm-hmm.
12:24And Quinn's already had his two strikes.
12:26Can't afford any more trouble in public.
12:29So that's potential for obstruction on all sides.
12:45Oh, this is a foreign labour dispute.
12:49See, Quinn can, by law, deduct rent and electrics from his workers' wages to use on-site accommodation.
12:55And he was accused of jacking up the rent for below standard conditions.
13:00And counsel Deleuze inquiry, lo and behold, by the time the building is investigated, it's heated, insulated and up to
13:08cold.
13:08Hmm.
13:10I don't know, boss.
13:11Like sometimes where there is smoke, there is fire.
13:16It's disgusting.
13:38I'm so, so sorry.
13:43I know this seems like some bad dream right now, but the more help you can give, the more I
13:51can do.
13:54Miss Marshall, could you maybe talk us through what you did with her yesterday?
14:02Um, we got up.
14:05She'd slept in a bit.
14:08But she seemed good.
14:11I dropped her as...
14:12I dropped her to work as usual.
14:15And then I didn't hear anything till 6.30.
14:20She came in to get changed for the pub.
14:23No fuss.
14:24She was back out the door in ten minutes.
14:27And, uh, how was she acting?
14:33She was...
14:36She was excited.
14:39The past few weeks, she's just been really excited.
14:43About graduating.
14:47Moving away, working leads.
14:51It would be really helpful if I could see her room.
14:58I won't disturb anything.
15:03I've been keeping it short.
15:06It smells of her.
15:11I can't lose that.
15:13I don't want to let it go.
15:29Is that her dissertation?
15:32No.
15:33That's all handed in by now.
15:37This is something else.
15:40It's all on Quinn's business.
15:42What?
15:43The scandal.
15:48Phone transcripts.
15:51Staff records.
15:55This is all confidential material.
15:57She was conducting her own investigation.
16:01Question is...
16:02What did she find?
16:08Right.
16:08So, Trent is liaising with Abby Marshall's network provider.
16:12And with a bit of luck, she backed up at least some of her phone on the cloud.
16:16And she'll meet us at the station.
16:18Quinn's place first.
16:20Yeah, you got it.
16:21No problem, no.
16:25Well, it's like I said.
16:26Where there's smoke, there's fire, boss.
16:30Love, hate, fear.
16:33Crimes are human.
16:35And there's a fine line between instinct and bias.
16:39Keep an eye.
16:40Yeah.
16:41I'll keep an eye.
16:46I can't believe this.
16:50I've no idea what she could have been looking for.
16:53I mean, I did interviews with the girl for university.
16:56But that was on supply chain and tax incentives.
17:00Generous of you to give up your time like that.
17:02Well, I liked her.
17:03Liked her drive.
17:04She was sharp.
17:06Unlike some down there.
17:09Make it back.
17:11You were spoken to Jeff Dunn at the Builders' Merchants.
17:14Told him his order's delayed.
17:16No, I do right now.
17:25Should we reach out to her mother?
17:27No, no.
17:28I don't think that's a good idea.
17:30Mackenzie, darling, we're busy in here.
17:31Is it true she was...
17:34She was killed?
17:36It's, um, it's on some local feeds.
17:38Christ.
17:39Well, I can get followers to report.
17:41See if we can get them shut down.
17:43No, love, it's okay.
17:44Thank you anyway.
17:46Okay.
17:48Listen, I'm sending you over all the staff files.
17:50You can go over everything.
17:51I have nothing to hide.
17:53And I certainly wouldn't hurt Abby Marshall.
18:04Ah, and then there were three.
18:07And a half.
18:09Tell me Abby's phone was backed up to the cloud.
18:12Abby's phone was backed up to the cloud.
18:14Now, I'm still trawling, but from the off, look at these messages.
18:18They go back a few months.
18:20It was good to talk.
18:21Should we stop?
18:22I don't want to.
18:24It could be romantic.
18:26There's no caller ID.
18:28Yeah, they're sent from some kind of online messaging programme.
18:31Now, look at the last message received.
18:34I have to see you tonight, here at 12am.
18:38Sorry to interrupt.
18:39As requested, phone mass data for the last 24 hours.
18:43The last signal, surprise, surprise, in the vicinity of Quinn Artisan Stone.
18:49Signal lost, 12.07am.
18:51So, either the falling scaffolding broke the phone, or the killer did.
18:55Okay.
19:00Oh, look at these.
19:02From Abby's phone.
19:06Well, they dated last summer, his camping trip.
19:09No.
19:11Look closer.
19:15Well.
19:17And I had you down as a romantic.
19:20Her expression.
19:22The way it's captured.
19:24Intimacy.
19:25Affection.
19:27Abby was seeing someone.
19:29We need to find out who.
19:58Hi, everyone.
19:59Thanks so much for coming.
20:03I didn't want to come here today.
20:05I don't...
20:07I don't want this to be real.
20:13My Abby was...
20:17We used to come here when she was a kid and feed the dogs.
20:23Even as a child, I knew she was destined to change people's lives.
20:31I guess you all thought the same thing.
20:36It's really lovely...
20:38To see my little girl was so in love.
20:44I don't know what else to say.
20:52Oh, thanks, Frank.
21:20Hey, boss.
21:21I count not everybody from work, don't you?
21:24And then some.
21:32I've got every right to be here.
21:36I've got every right to be here.
21:38What's it to do to you, anyway?
21:43How's it lost now?
21:44I'm happy.
21:46I'm happy.
21:47I'm happy.
21:48I'm happy.
21:54I'm happy.
