All language subtitles for Les enquetes de Vera S14E01

Thank you.

Look it.

Mark, get Joe the Tony's phone on. Tell
him I'm on my way.

Ah, DCI Stanhope. Chief Superintendent
Carlin. Morning, ma 'am.

I'm just on my way to a crime scene.

I just need a moment.

You've an officer there?

D .I. Ashworth.

Competent detective.

He's the best.

Won't miss you for five minutes, then.

Shall we?

That's Lucas Corbridge.

Steelworker.

Chair of the union.

Convicted for killing his wife. So, why
has the conviction been quashed?

The pathologist was Dr. William Spears.

Did you ever cross paths?

No, briefly.

He was a clever man.

I knew it.

Well, a previous conviction was quashed
due to questions over Spears' work. That

was leapt on to appeal this conviction.

And his forensic were dismissed again?

Biz insisted that nobody but Corbridge
had been in the house, but on re

-examination, crime scene images showed
a cuff mark in pooled blood, not made by

Lucas's clothes.

So suddenly there's reasonable doubt.

Someone else was there.

So why wasn't this cuff mark disclosed
at the time?

It wasn't noticed.

But it means the Marion Corbridge case
is officially open again.

You don't want me to look at a 20 -year
-old kid.

As a matter of priority, it's high
profile, press interest already baked

hence needing an officer of your
calibre.

Oh, which reminds me, I wanted to give
you this in person.

I want to recommend you for the role of
superintendent.

Morning, Mum.

Mark. So what have we got?

Angla's found the body first thing this
morning.

Kenny's with them now.

Paula's with the deceased.

We've secured the cordon and kicked off
an initial search.

Where's Joe?

Still in his car, Mum.

Where's what?

Well, take your time, Joe.

Late night, was it?

Here, a lovely spot.

So the water makes the recovery of
forensic evidence more difficult. Oh,

our excuses in early, are we?

So we've a male, late 20s or early 30s,
physically fit with an obvious wound to

the head here.

So dead before he went into the water?

I'll confirm drowning or otherwise back
at the lab, but by the looks of that, he

could well have been.

He's got some scratches and abrasions as
well. Or defence wounds?

Or just from being in the water.

We're searching the area for signs of a
struggle, evidence of an assailant.

He's got a black eye and all.

But fading. The yellow colouration
suggests it's more than 18 hours anti

-mortem. Could be a few days.

So, time of death?

Again, being in cold water doesn't help,
but the appearance and lack of

decomposition suggest much less than 24
hours.

Likely less than 12.

Have you found any ID?

We found a wallet on him. Got the name
Zachary Martin.

I believe you've got someone checking
for matches.

Oh, so not the mugging?

No, he had his mobile phone on him too.

They waterlogged, obviously.

OK, you find anything else, you let us
know as soon as...

Mum, Steph's message from the station
thinks she's found

the right Zachary Martin.

He was a prisoner.

He's only been out on parole for about a
month.

So what was he inside for?

GBH without intent.

Well, I need to know who he assaulted,
how long he was inside, and the exact

date he was freed.

Mum, we're going to need to let the
probation service know and all.

Do we know the next of kin?

He was married with a kid. You got an
address?

Yes, Mum.

Right. Joe, with me.

The deceased got the maximum five -year
sentence.

Served nearly four.

Well, must have been a nasty incident.

That was a fight in a nightclub.

It seems he hit the fella. He didn't
start it, but he threw one punch and

Rowlands, the victim, suffered a neck
fracture and was partially paralysed.

So it could be a few people upset about
Zachary Martin's release.

I don't think his wife was too thrilled
either.

Eh?

Well... He didn't move back in here.

His registered address was a hostel.

Is that your lad?

Er, Ollie, yes. Is he here?

No.

What's this all about?

Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you
this, love, but we found a body, and we

believe it to be that of your husband,
Zachary Martin.

No.

Oh, what do you mean?

Had you seen him recently?

No.

We weren't together. I told him to stay
away.

Why was that?

I was divorcing him.

You know, it was just... It was cleaner
till things were sorted.

Well, things can't have been easy for
you the last few years, paired with a

young lad and your husband inside.

I mean, we should never have got
married, but I got pregnant and Zach

on standing by us.

Always jumping in with both feet.

You weren't happy?

I mean, Zach was good with Ollie.

Sometimes.

Then he would get bored.

He'd want to laugh, go out and get
drunk.

They considered that Zach was convicted
for... Were you there?

No.

He said he would come home early.

He said he wouldn't drink either, but he
did.

Dylan ends up in a wheelchair.

Dylan Rowlands.

The lad that Zach injured.

You knew the fella?

Yeah.

Him and Zach were best mates.

You know, Dylan was good for Zach.

I mean, I haven't seen him since the
trial. Like, Dylan's fiancée Gwen split

with him and all. I think he lives with
his parents now.

And do you know why it all kicked off
that night?

No.

Dylan saw Zach and Gwen kiss.

So your husband kissed his best mate's
fiancée?

Now, is there any other family we should
contact?

No. His dad raised him, but he died last
year.

Zach going to prison didn't exactly help
his heart.

I mean, what am I going to tell Ollie?

DCI Stanhope.

Oh, sorry.

Justine Coley, probation service.

Zach Martin's case manager.

So, can you show us to Zach's room?

We had an appointment only yesterday.

And did anything seem out of the
ordinary?

No, nothing.

Zach was doing really well. Was avoiding
drink.

Got a job delivering takeaways.

Just wanted to rebuild his life.

Considering apprenticeships.

Thinking through options.

What he wanted most was a relationship
with his son, Ollie.

His missus was the voice in him. Was he
not upset about that?

My impression was he'd accepted the
divorce.

What upset him was having to negotiate
contact with his boy.

Well, we need to keep this room sealed
for now, Beth.

Do you notice a black eye yesterday?

Oh, yeah, he'd been carrying his
delivery bike down some steps and trips,

smacked into a lamppost.

Is his bike here?

I don't know. I'll ask the warden.

And you can't think of anyone who might
have wanted to harm him? Nothing

connected with Dylan Rowlands, the
fellow he assaulted.

I didn't hear of any trouble.

The family weren't too happy with his
release, but that's understandable.

Right, now I'll need a copy of all his
probation reports, love.

Thanks.

OK, listen up.

Now, the reason this place is looking
more like a storage depot is because

there's a cold case we've been asked to
investigate.

That'll be a challenge.

No, it's a lot to take on.

Well, that's not the attitude we need,
Jo.

Now, our first priority is Zachary
Martin. We've already spoken to his

Kimberly Martin, and to the probation
office.

Mark, how are you doing on his phone?

I've got his number now. I'm on to the
service provider.

And, Steph, we'll need to take a look at
his bank details.

Mum. And, Kenny, we should speak to his
employer about his delivery job.

We'll do it. And now, Kenny, if he was
working yesterday, I want to know every

stop he made.

Because maybe someone was unhappy with
their pepperoni.

And, Mark, let's hit CCTV.

Now, time of death's uncertain, so we
need a timeline of his last known

movements. Mum.

And, Steph, let's get on to the prison
where he served his time.

Yeah, already done, Mum. They're happy
to meet.

And in the meantime, they've sent a list
of his significant contacts.

Ah, well done.

Glad someone's on the ball. Hey, Joe.

His bike is missing.

It might make it easier for us to find
him if he was cycling.

All right.

Let's get to it.

Hold up.

Lucas Corbridge?

Who? It's the subject of our cold case,
Kenny.

Yeah, he was banged up for killing his
wife. What about him? Well, he's on this

list. He was on the same prison wing as
our deceased.

So this fella had his conviction quashed
only yesterday, walks free, and the

same day Zachary Martin dies.

Right, that's a bit of a coincidence.

They do happen, you know.

Yeah, well, coincidence or not.

I think I need a little chat with Mr.

Corbridge.

There you go.

Thanks, love.

I was

sure

it wasn't an accident.

Now, she'd been drinking.

But I can't see her tripping and coming
over those banisters.

And the pathologists were sure it was
murder.

Aye, William Spears?

Aye, now deemed unreliable.

Well, he says he was alone when he found
her and had her blood and cerebral

spinal fluid on him.

Witness statements painting him as
having a temper.

And there was a call out from neighbours
about a domestic.

Do you know what they thought about?

Aye, it's in the report.

It came out his mistress had been having
an affair.

Married, 18.

15 years, 15 -year -old daughter, and
then she cheats on him.

Worse, it was with someone in management
at the steelworks.

You're kidding.

Now, what if he found out he was
cheating?

They argue, he snaps.

Maybe he was guilty after all.

Well, maybe he is.

Either that or we're looking for a
completely new killer.

Aye, potentially.

Plus finding out if there's any
connection between him and Zachary

Right, I'm off to see Lucas Corbridge.
You get yourself over to the prison.

I was out at a union campaign meeting.

Finished about five.

I went home.

And I found her, Marion.

The door was on the latch.

But she left it that way sometimes.

Our Amelia was out at a youth club.

I thought it was an accident.

Till you lot cried murder.

She drank too much, you know.

Liked other men's attention, too.

All right, Dee.

Things were rocky between us.

I wasn't that present.

I know that now.

But I loved her.

I never hurt her.

When did you find out about the affair?

I'd suspected something was off for a
while.

I didn't know for sure. There was a lot
going on.

But you want the truth.

Genuinely the truth. You take a closer
look at that bastard Theo Paterdale.

If he's still breathing.

There probably is a lot in your lot that
cooked up charging me.

But the steel works and the police.

The establishment.

Closing ranks.

You okay, Patrick?

Of COPD.

Manageable, but bloody annoying.

Now, I'll also need to speak to your
daughter.

Amelia, is it?

We've not been in touch for years.

She turned her back.

Dee. When he was arrested, she came to
stay with me.

But once he was convicted, jailed, she
deserted him. Never visited.

Not once.

Then she left.

Because she thought I was guilty.

Do you have an address?

No.

Okay, just one last thing.

Not to do with your wife's death.

Zachary Martin.

Zach?

Hi, what about him? You knew him in
prison.

I like Zach.

Kid were in pieces when he first came
in.

He'd mucked up badly and he knew it.

He was released about a month back.

And I'm sorry to tell you, love, he was
found dead yesterday.

How? What happened?

Well, we're treating his death as
suspicious.

Now, did you see him when you were
freed?

On Wednesday, maybe celebrate getting
out?

What are you implying?

I drove Lucas straight home from the
appeal.

And we were together the rest of the
day.

Now, I really think you've stayed long
enough, don't you?

Okay. Thanks for your time, Pet.

It's okay. I can see myself out.

Great. Thanks for meeting me.

Welcome to the other end of the food
chain.

So you worked with Zachary Martin?

I'm senior custodial manager for the
wing that he was on.

I can't believe he got parole only to...
He was a model prisoner by the end.

Took responsibility for his crime, did
courses.

Was he ever violent?

He liked the gym. Maybe that's where he
took out most of his aggression.

Can you tell us about his relationship
with Lucas Corbridge?

They got on.

Lucas had a soft spot for him.

Was that unusual?

For Lucas, yeah.

See, Lucas... ..always maintained his
innocence.

But he had a connection to Zach.

Zach was a mess when he first arrived.

Full of guilt.

Scared to be inside.

Lucas kept him out of trouble.

Pretty fierce about that.

Fierce? We think that a prison gang
started hassling Zach.

Lucas swung for the guy that was on his
back.

And they left him alone after that?

Seemed to.

How did Zach feel about leaving?

He was upbeat, I think.

Just a little nervous about him mucking
up again.

Hey.

Listen, I'm just calling to say that I'm
sorry about what I said last night.

No, that's not what I mean.

Celine, I'm just not ready to see
someone.

Let me do it my own time.

Okay, let me take this straight.

So you're saying when they were inside,
there was a strong connection between

Zach Martin and Corbridge?

As friends.

I still see it as a coincidence, him
dying the day that Corbridge was

Yeah, well, after we've seen Paula,
let's check out this fella Zach

Dylan, Roman, see what he has to say.

No water in his lungs.

So he definitely didn't drown.

It was the blow to the head.

Caused a severe subdural haemorrhage and
he was put in the water post -mortem.

Hard to be more specific about when, I'm
afraid.

Oh, that's helpful.

You're welcome.

What can you tell us about this head
injury?

The angle suggests he was struck from
behind or the side with great force.

No visible defence wounds. No alcohol or
drugs in his system either.

So he could have been walking away.

What was he hit with?

I recovered some fragments of what
appeared to be sandstone.

which might prove useful, because
examination of the riverside picked up

evidence that he was killed there.

Meaning we've got no murder sites.

Well, you're the gift that keeps on
giving today, love.

How about this, then?

Weave the stone fragment, plus some
pollen found inside his T -shirt, picked

as he was dragged.

So there's a chance of ID and potential
sites further upstream?

Correct. And what's more, I have a
contact at the university checking the

pollen. I'll pass on the details.

Oh, well, make sure you do.

There's also... ..gravel embedded in his
knees, so that's consistent with being

hit and collapsing forward.

Could be from a walking track, a car
park.

What about his black eye?

His parole officer said he smacked it
into a lamppost.

It can be hard to distinguish accidental
trauma injuries from non -accidental,

but for my money, it looks more like
he's been hit.

OK, make sure you send us that contact.

Joe, this is really important.

That Martin. Now, I want you to liaise
with Paula's contact at the uni.

And on the cold case, I've got Kenny
putting out feelers for Corbridge's

daughter and tracking down the, you
know, Paterdale, the fellow he rents his

missus was carrying on with.

Did you hear me?

Yeah, of course.

And, uh...

Well, I didn't say, but I had some other
news yesterday from Chief

Superintendent Carlin.

Ah.

She's recommended me for promotion.

You have?

Ah. Well, that's... That's amazing.

Oh, hold on. I didn't say I was going
for it. Well, why wouldn't you?

Well, it's all paperwork and politics,
isn't it? Who wants that?

Ah, get away. You would have turned it
down straight off if you didn't want it.

You could change things with your
experience.

Well, it must be nice to be asked,
anyway.

What?

Zachary Martin's been murdered.

What?

Good riddance is all I can say.

And we're investigating his death.

Now, you and he were best mates.

Is that right, love?

Yeah, once.

That was fun.

Always a bit crazy.

Crazy? In what way?

Impulsive, you know.

Always looked on the bright side, no
matter what fix he was in.

Now, the night you were injured, there
was an argument at the club over Gwen,

your fiancée.

I saw her with Zach and I went for him.

It's hard to remember.

We'd all been drinking and with what
happened after... Dylan, he pleaded

It just shows.

Should have still been locked up for it.
Erica.

There's no shame in saying how we feel.

I'd like to put my son in a wheelchair.

He'd feel the same.

And I'm glad he got his comeuppance.

Did any of you see Zach once he was out?

No.

Of course not.

We'll just have to check your movements
on Wednesday, OK?

What? What for?

It's just routine, love.

Mum, you need to see this.

I've been trolling the CCTV for Zach
Martin's final movements.

This was Wednesday, 8 .22am.

Oh, well, that's his missus and their
lad.

Yeah, and a second camera shows him.

Doesn't want to be seen, does he?

Was he spying on them?

Does he approach?

Not that we see from here.

Mum,

I've looked into his bank account.

While he was inside, he agreed to a
third -party mandate allowing Kimberley

operate the account on his behalf.

That makes sense.

Yeah, and there's more. See this?

This is over most of the last two years.

What?

She's emptied it.

Well, he wouldn't have been too chuffed
about that, would he?

Good morning, Pet.

Have you got a minute?

We know it was you who took the money
out.

£8 ,000, give or take.

Did Zach ask you to withdraw it?

He gave his access.

I've done nothing wrong.

I doubt he gave you access to drain the
account, Pet.

Is that why you told him to stay away,
because you'd taken it all?

Look, we've got a kid together, right?

Zach went inside and suddenly I was a
single mum, no other support.

I mean, do you know how expensive stuff
is? Food, kids' clothes and bags.

Did he know the extent you were
spending?

I was going to tell him. But you didn't,
did you?

So he discovered it when he came out.

Now, how did he react?

He was angry.

At first, we had a fight.

OK, but he knew he owed me and Ollie.

All right, how about this? This is you
and Ollie together in town.

And this is Zach watching you the day
that he died.

Well, I didn't see him.

I didn't know.

Oh, well, you told us. You and your lad
were home all Wednesday evening.

Can anyone corroborate that?

Now, listen, love.

I get it. Maybe Zach just wanted his
money back and there was a confrontation

and things got out of hand. No, I didn't
see him.

It was up to you to prove otherwise.

I didn't know about this.

Well, Zach didn't mention Kimberly
cleaning out his bank account.

Was he not angry all his money had gone?

He mentioned they had an argument soon
after his release, but he'd agreed to

keep his distance after that. So why did
he spy on her?

Well, maybe he's trying to see Ollie
there, not Kimberley.

Dylan Rowlands and his family were angry
about Zach's early release.

They posted about it online.

Sounds pretty common for a victim and
their family.

So Zach didn't receive any threats?

Threats? No, not that he said.

Did he ever mention a fellow inmate
called Lucas Corbridge?

Sure, yeah, Zach liked him. Said he
looked out for him.

Because you realised he was released the
day that Zach died?

And you think he was involved?

I've no reason to.

Did Zach ever talk about wanting to meet
him on the outside?

Not to me.

There was someone he was trying to find.
A family member, I think.

Did he give you a name?

Isabel Melder.

It was just a quick comment. He left her
a message, but she didn't reply.

Okay.

We'll look into it.

Ma 'am.

A few updates on the Lucas Scorbridge
case.

So, Marion's lover?

Theo Patherdale?

Seems he's relocated to Australia.

I'm chasing.

What about the estranged daughter,
Amelia?

That's more of an odd one.

Well, we know she left her Aunt Dina's
when her dad got banged up.

She was 16.

She squatted for a bit.

Had a few minor contacts with the
police. No serious record.

But after that, she just drops off the
map.

No further police involvement.

And I don't have a current address for
her.

I did notice in the file that her social
worker was Kath Olivier.

I've seen her in years. I'll pay her a
visit, thanks.

Oh, and Kenny, I'm off now to meet your
former boss, DTI Creelan.

To talk about this cold case.

Get his take on it.

DCI Stanhope.

I've had no reply to that letter.

Oh, yes, ma 'am. No, not yet, ma 'am.

I just haven't had much time.

Of course.

Actually, ma 'am, there may be a link
between the Corbridge case and Zack

Martin's murder.

A link?

Well, they were in prison together, ma
'am. Pretty close, in fact. And

was released the day that Martin died.

Surely a coincidence.

Well, I have to explore every angle, ma
'am. Just keep me in the loop.

And I'll await a response on the other
matter.

Quick as you like.

Hello? Gary Creelan?

Facing famine, are you?

Finest place in the whole of England and
Wales for it. Oh, aye, my dad used to

say the same.

The joys of retirement, eh?

So, Lucas Corbridge.

Oh, ah.

Now, you'd have heard about the
introduction of reasonable doubt at the

Now, what are your thoughts on that?

Well, I stand by our investigation.

And the team that worked it, men like
Kenny Lockhart.

But not the pathologist.

Ah, well, that's it.

Isn't it?

Perfectly good case.

Blown up because Will Spears missed
something.

Did you ever query his findings?

Well, no.

He was experienced.

Highly regarded.

And, frankly, so what if a tiny forensic
element was a little bit flirty?

So what?

Look, the conviction was sound.

Colbridge killed her. It's the only
thing that adds up.

You've got to remember the pressure that
he must have been under at the time.

He was a rabble -rouser to the right
-wing press, and to his own side, he was

never doing enough.

Then to find out that his wife was,
well, sleeping with the enemy, well, he

it, lashed out.

Yeah, well, what about this fella she
was having the affair with, Theo

Patterdale?

Cast iron alibi.

He never went near their house.

And you?

Must have been under a lot of pressure
to get a result.

I get all that from Colbridge, did you?
All that nonsense about the

establishment having it in for him.

So no truth in it?

Listen, my dad was a steelworker.

I didn't want that site to shut any more
than Colbridge did.

But I wasn't going to let them get away
with murder.

Now, his daughter broke off all contact
with him after his conviction. Have you

any idea where she went?

Well, you know how it is with these
cases.

Once you've got the result... Oh, I like
to keep an ear out.

After all, it's not just about the
result, is it?

It's all just bluster, defending
himself.

So you're coming back to the station,
then?

What? No, but I'm out driven back.

Now, Mark's had to cover your work
today, Joe.

Get a grip.

Yes, boss.

I've looked into that name from the
parole manager.

Yeah, Isabella Melder or whatever.

Maybe a family member.

Well, Zach Martin had no living family
to speak of.

And I found no -one in his phone with a
similar name or on his list of prison

visitors. Though checking that did throw
up one surprise.

A Gwen Cobden.

Gwen?

Hang on, that's Dylan Rowland's ex.

Well, what's she doing visiting a man
who was sent down for attacking a fella?

Well, she had that case.

Maybe there was still something between
them.

All right, maybe.

Beth, remind me.

Where was Mark at again today?

I think the boss asked him to meet
Paula's contact at the uni.

Course, OK.

Go on, get your cell away.

Right then.

Well, well, well, Vera Stano.

Cath Olivier.

Oh, look at this.

How are you? How's Scott?

Shane. Shane.

He died.

Only joking.

But we did divorce seven years back now.

I've been crying every night since.

Well, I doubt that.

I heard you're practically running
things here now.

Hardly. Why aren't you chief constable
yet?

Oh, who wants that job?

So, Amelia Corbridge.

Now, you worked on her case when her dad
was arrested, did an assessment, is

that right?

I did, I pulled the file.

And what was your take on her, on the
family?

Well, she was traumatised,
understandably.

15 then.

Locked her mum, then sat through a trial
that convicted her father.

Was she and her father close?

Yeah. She looked up to him, loved him.

And did she believe he was guilty?

Honestly?

No, I don't think so.

So why did they last run off?

Her aunt says she deserted him.

Well, the shock of...

Actually seeing him convicted?

It must have been massive.

And I got the impression that the aunt
cared more for him than her.

OK.

Thanks for this, Kath.

Oh, sure. Come back with any more
questions.

Otherwise, see you in ten years.

Oh, well, I might leave it for 15 if I'm
going to get this kind of grief.

Be lucky.

so come in and meet me, Gwen.

Okay, yeah.

I know it's weird, me visiting Zach.

I know what he did seems unforgivable.

It's not as if I'm blameless.

Because of the kiss that happened that
night?

It just happened.

Everyone was cutting loose.

Me and Zach had always fancied each
other a bit.

And us, I was off in a corner.

Dylan ran over, shouting.

And you saw the fight between them?

Hardly a fight.

Dylan had a swing, missed that riled -up
Zach, and he punched back.

Then, um, last year, Zach asked to send
me a letter.

Part of him taking responsibilities.

So I visited him.

He even wanted to contact Dylan.

Really? Dylan didn't say anything?

You've talked to him? Mm -hm. And his
parents.

I can just imagine what he said about
me, too.

Who, his dad?

Aye. Rich.

I stayed with Dylan through his
recovery.

But Rich, he hated me.

He wanted me gone, and when I did leave,
he blamed me.

Said that I'd abandoned Dylan because he
was disabled.

Rich controlled everyone in that family.

I want to do some digging on Rich
Rollins. I'll get Steph to run a

check. There's more to him than meets
the eye.

Right.

Anything from the uni?

Paul has contacts.

I thought that Mark was dealing with
that. He was.

Because you weren't.

I'm sorry.

I was just juggling two cases.

I let it slip.

You did.

But you've been letting things slip
quite a bit lately, Jo, since you've

back from compassionate leave.

Now, if you need some more time off...
No.

Why no?

Mum, is that Martin's murder site? I've
got Mark on the phone.

He thinks they've found it.

We've found some blood samples.

Need to confirm it's from Zachary
Martin.

Now, well, as quick as you can.

Well done, Mark. Thanks, Mom, but it was
Paula's friend from the uni. Well, and

a bit of luck.

We managed to trace the pollen to this
area.

It's from a pretty rare species.

Plus, looking for somewhere with gravel,
probably in the Arrow River, helps

narrow down the search area.

Finding Zach's bike sealed it.

So he was killed in the car park and
then dragged that way to the river.

The question is, why cycle all the way
out here in the first place?

Mom?

He was dragged this way.

Could be his attacker's phone.

Yeah, well, let's hope it's not some
random dog walker. Cheers.

Looks like it is Zach's phone. Yeah,
well, we already found his phone. Why

he need two?

Look who's with him.

His parole officer.

Looking very cozy.

Well, well, well.

We found this handset yesterday.

Belonged to the deceased, Gregory
Morton.

There was a secret phone.

And there are some very intimate photos
of you on there.

You were having a relationship with your
client.

That's gross misconduct. End of your
career. Possible jail time.

I knew the phone would turn up. That
you'd find out.

I'm glad you did.

No one else grieving him is there.

At least I can now.

Now, you told us you didn't see him
after your meeting on Wednesday.

But, um... You called him on this number
at 8 .07 that evening.

And again at 8 .32.

Now, why's that?

He was supposed to come round mine, but
he didn't show.

So I called him and he didn't answer.

So you were home all evening, hmm?

Can't be serious.

Zach was going to reveal the affair. You
had to keep him quiet. No, I loved him.

Well, whether you did or not love,
you've obstructed our investigation and

concealed the truth.

He was worried about me, what might
happen.

That's why I got him the phone, so we
could talk in private.

There's something you should know.

What?

I gave him money.

How much?

A thousand pound in cash.

For what?

It was for a deposit on a flat.

He was just... He was just so desperate
to get out of that hostel.

Mark.

Check... Justine Coley's bank account.

She's just told us she gave Zach £1 ,000
in cash.

Well, there was no cash found in his
room. And we've got no evidence that he

put a deposit down on a flat.

So if he got the cash, where did it go?

Aye, where did it go?

Steph, I want every call, every number
on that new phone looked at.

Already on it, Mum.

So we've got lines of inquiry for Zach
Martin on his missus, the Rowlands

family, and now his parole officer.

And that means we can take Lucas
Corbridge out of the equation.

The two cases aren't connected.

No, not yet.

There's still a connection between him
and Zach.

Keep on it, Joe.

Ma 'am, Theo Partadale.

Back in the UK.

Took a bit of persuading, but you've got
a meeting later on this morning.

Thanks, Kenny.

Vera, if you're after the results on the
blood from the car park, good news.

It's a match with Zach Martin. Well, I'd
have been surprised if it wasn't.

But I'm actually here about something
else.

Now, you'll know about the fella, had
his conviction overturned. Lucas

Corbridge, banged up for killing his
missus 20 years back.

Aye, yes. Weren't the forensics re
-examined and disputed? Aye. Now, I need

expert. Aye, going over those bindings.

Expert. Now, I've taken a look at the
case file, and it's easy to see how a

narrative was pushed to the jury who
convicted him. Now, Paula, I just want

know... Which forensics we can trust?

Can we definitively say she was
murdered?

And what evidence actually points to the
husband?

Some random case.

I'm snowed under here. No, trust me,
it's not random.

The case has been reopened.

Ah, come on, Paula.

What's it going, Ruth?

Um, can of cola.

Six -pack.

Go on, get out.

DC, I stand up.

Who?

Hello.

You want to meet?

OK, I'll just liaise with Joe and we
can... Why not?

I'll call you back, love.

Everything OK?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, Karen's in your office waiting for
you.

Mum? Deena Corbridge has made a
complaint to the IOPC. She alleges her

been harassed by you when he's only just
been released and is in poor health.

Harassed? There was no harassment, Mum.
Why is she saying that?

She mentioned you asking about Zach
Martin's death. It can only feed Lucas

Corbridge's narrative that the police
are out to get him.

I warned you, we'd have to be sensitive.

My job involves asking awkward
questions, ma 'am.

And if they go to the press.

See, these are just the sorts of
sensitivities you'll juggle once you're

superintendent. Well, I'm sorry, ma 'am,
I can't conduct an investigation based

on what the press thinks, or Dina
Corbridge.

Sorry to interrupt, ma 'am. You asked me
to remind you, you're meeting with Theo

Patherdale. Oh, thanks, Kenny.

I have the address.

Don't let me keep you, DC. I stand hope.

Mum.

Thank you.

It's a lovely spot.

I used to come here with me mum.

How did this liaison start?

We met at a union event.

Marion was fun.

Full of life.

But below that, unhappy.

In what way unhappy?

In a marriage.

She said Lucas cared more about the
steelworks than her.

He'd certainly no sense of reality about
it.

Fighting the inevitable.

It was Marion who pursued me, by the
way.

Oh, so you weren't keen at first?

Well, I knew she was married to... Even
what it might have been, some kind of

setup.

Well, he was using her to get the
lowdown on management.

Seems paranoia went both ways.

So you got the sense that he knew about
the affair?

I could believe that Marion got drunk,
let it slip, and Lucas, he had a temper,

didn't he?

Marion said so. Him and his sister.

His sister? How do you mean?

Said she was too invested in their
family, that it was unhealthy.

Now, you told the... police that you
were working late the day Marion died.

That's right. A management meeting
debate, now a response to the union.

And why exactly are you back here now?

My mother died last year. There's the
house to deal with, the things.

I'm sorry, love.

And you've had no contact with
Corbridge?

No.

Well, thanks for talking to us, love.

And... You will let us know before
travelling back to Australia.

We're getting nowhere fast here.

Now, in terms of our cold case, we're
stuck with what DCI Creelan always

claimed. Because it looks like
Paterdale's alibi is sound.

So we're left with our only suspect.

And that's corporate. Yeah, Kenny's
spoken to two of Patterdale's colleagues

from the time. They both remember him
being at that steelworks meeting.

Mum, I've something on Zach Martin.

CCTV.

This is Tuesday, the day before he died.

What's in that envelope?

My bet, it's money.

The cash his friendly parole officer
gave him. Did we check her account?

Yes, she definitely withdrew £1 ,000.

Could this be the prison gang thing?

Hang on, wait.

Zoom in.

That's the prison custodial manager,
Greg Wakely.

Why don't you take blues and twos, go
pay this prison officer a little home

visit.

Greg, good to see you again.

I thought you'd never ask.

What's back Martin giving you here?

No.

Fine.

You just sit there and relax.

Mark! Did you see her? She was...
Decent, I hope.

Thank you so much for coming.

DC, I stand up with it. The last time I
saw you, you called me Mussolini.

Look at you, all grown up.

You look just like your ma 'am.

So what is it you're studying here?

Oh, I'm in my final year of my degree.

Environmental science.

And why exactly are we meeting behind
your dad's back?

Not just your love, is it?

Um... Dad's been sort of... shut off...
since

Grandad died.

I know, love.

He's not been all there at work, either.

You see his old lead?

He doesn't talk to Mum, except when they
argue, and last night was their worst

fight yet.

What were they fighting about?

Mam thinks he should see someone for
help.

A professional.

And I'm guessing he wasn't keen on that
idea.

He just feels like she's lost him.

Like Dad's gone and she's just dealing
with everything alone.

We tried to help him, but we just can't.

And now we don't know what to do.

All right, love.

I'll have a word.

At first I thought you were under
pressure from a gang member.

Now I think it all started with a payday
loan.

You're overdue on your gas, you're
electric.

It's not easy keeping the lights on, let
alone putting food on the table.

Yeah, the stress can eat into you.

People come up with all sorts of crazy
schemes.

You know that someone killed Zach.

And we've got CCTV of you and him
looking stressed the day before he died.

What were you last Wednesday? On shift.

A million CCTV cameras to confirm that.
Then I got a train to Leeds, visited my

brother.

You have no idea what it's like working
there, do you?

The criminals control the place.

The gangs, the drugs. I've been attacked
three times.

Well, it doesn't mean you can act like a
gang yourself.

How did you extort the money?

Found drugs in his cell.

Maybe he'd been pressurised to hide them
there if I reported him.

Would have killed any chance he had of
parole.

She asked for money to keep quiet.

How much?

Just a thousand.

Two thousand, in two separate
instalments once he was out. And he

He was angry, but he paid.

To get rid of me.

And I never saw him again after that.

And you didn't think it prudent to wait
until I got back?

Well, if you will, just disappear.

So you're saying this officer was
blackmailing him? I'm not even sure

any gear.

He scammed a well -behaved prisoner
desperate for parole. We should throw

book at him. Well, hold your horses.
We've got to check his alibi. He might

been on that train.

And if he wasn't, well, then... Did you
say Zach gave him two payments of a

thousand each?

Well, we know he got a grand from the
parole officer.

So where did he get the other one?

That's a good point. Mum?

Yeah?

And you should have spotted that.

So Zach's burner phone was mainly used
to contact Justine, but there's a few

other numbers on there. And one called
Zach several times the day he died,

between 7 .28 and 9 .21pm.

And whose number is it?

The pay -as -you -go phone. No contract.

But there is something.

A few other numbers are saved here,
besides Justine.

One under the name Imogen.

What was it?

Justine said he was looking for a family
member.

Isabel or Imelda.

Well, could it have been Imogen?

Have you called the number?

Yeah, it's for the switchboard at
Rockwood Garrison.

There's only one Imogen station there,
an Imogen Langworth.

She's a major in the Royal
Northumberland Artillery.

Why would you want to speak to her?

Langworth? Hold on.

At

Corbett's trial,

his father -in -law gave evidence.

Henry Langworth.

That's Colbridge's daughter.

Now, Kenny couldn't treat her.

So what if she changed her name?

Anyone over 16 can do it. It's not even
that hard.

You think Amelia Colbridge is Major
Imogen Langworth?

Aye.

I do.

To show her, Kenny, Amelia became
Imogen.

Yes, ma 'am, she changed her name by
deed poll.

She actually paid to have it formally
enrolled.

So Amelia Corbridge became Major Imogen
Langworth.

Then I'm out.

Yes, we've gone and had a break back in
Afton. It's me, ma 'am.

Major Langworth.

D .I. stand up. D .I. Ashworth.

Imogen, please.

Well, it's good to finally meet.

It's been a bit of a challenge finding
you.

My name change.

Yeah, I understand.

Can I ask why you changed it?

Yeah, of course.

I struggled for a long time after what
happened, and when I turned it around,

decided to join the army, I just wanted
a fresh start.

Avoid the gossip.

The army became a family to me after
mine became a nightmare.

I saw my father's conviction had been
overturned.

And you haven't wanted to see him since
he was released?

I haven't wanted to see him since he was
jailed for killing my mum.

I was close to my dad, so to see him
arrested, convicted... But,

over time, I accepted the verdict.

Then I put it behind me.

And I don't choose to go back there.

Can you tell us what you remember about
that day?

It was just a normal Friday.

I went out, some youth club thing.

The police found me there.

Dad said it was an accident.

I believed him.

But then he was arrested and I got sent
to live with my auntie Dina.

Did you know about your mum's... your
mum's affair?

No. Had you ever seen him be violent?

Angry, yeah.

Not violent.

Do you know a fella called Zachary
Martin?

Martin?

Yeah. Someone called that rang the base
asking for me. I didn't want to speak to

him. The message said it was about my
dad. I just assumed he was a journalist.

He rang you?

Why? I've no idea.

You're aware that he died?

This Wednesday, Pat.

Wait.

The day my dad was released, eh?

Now, I'm going to have to ask you this,
love.

Where were you on Wednesday?

I was here on duty. I can get me Theo to
confirm for you. That'd be great.

Thanks for your time, pet.

Yes, I asked Jack to contact Amelia.

Now, you told me you didn't know where
she was.

I said we couldn't put you in touch.

That Amelia had cut off all contact,
that was true.

I just wanted to find my own child.

Years and years have gone by and nothing
and Dina wouldn't help.

Then, remembering Sunday came along last
year and on the local news I

suddenly saw her doing a reading for
some forces memorial.

Well, the name on the screen wasn't
hers.

Made your image in Langworth.

But it was my Amelia.

So you knew she'd changed her name?

I had to be certain.

Zach said if he could speak to her, if
he could find her, he'd let me know.

I just hoped she might talk to someone
outside of the family, you know, with a

bit of distance, like Zach.

Well, you should have told her.

Can I remind you, we're investigating
his death. Well, forgive me for not

wanting to help the police very much.

Did Zach actually speak to her?

Did he meet her?

Because I'd heard nothing.

No. She never answered his calls.

And why wouldn't you help?

She deserted, Lucas.

It was best to let her go.

It's not so easy to forget your own
child, eh?

Zach understood that.

Aye, it's an amazing link between him
and Zach.

But if Zach never even met Lucas's
daughter, then... Well...

Paula's been looking at the forensics on
the Corbridge case.

Looks like she's gone.

I thought that might be the chief
chasing down you super again.

Have you given her an answer yet?

Oh, I don't know, Joe.

Still looking.

Senior ranks are more interested in
optics than policing.

So go and change that.

I can leave you lot.

Be a blessing for Kenny.

Well, there is that.

Listen, Joe, yesterday... Mark, what's
up?

There's been an incident.

OK. Gwen Cobden and Dylan's dad.

All right, I'm headed over.

Send us an address.

What? Gwen Cobden.

Dylan Rowland's ex.

What? There's been an altercation
between her and Dylan's dad.

Dad, I've dropped you.

Get off!

She's taken advantage of you, Dylan!

He's my son.

She's trying to control you!

You OK?

Yeah, it's her.

So?

What happened?

I got in touch with Dylan after speaking
with you.

And we'd be eating our coffee after one
of Dylan's physio sessions.

Then my dad turned up early for me, saw
Gwen and flew off the handle.

The staff had to intervene. They called
the police.

Oh, I'm glad they did.

He tries to control everything.

Where I go, who I meet.

He does it with Mum, too.

Do you think he could have hurt Zach?

No. How did he seem last Wednesday?

Came home from the pub angry.

There'd have been some stupid argument
with someone.

You need to get that. No, no, no. It's
not something I can deal with right now.

We know that Marion Corbridge's neck was
broken, plus a severe head trauma.

She consumed alcohol, yes, but not an
excessive amount.

From the crime scene photos, I struggled
to see how she fell without being

pushed.

I could believe Marion was murdered, but
there's no solid forensic evidence.

It's all circumstantial. Oh, well,
circumstantial evidence is still

isn't it, Paula?

It's beyond reasonable doubt.

The photos are good.

Look at this.

This looks like the cuff mark from a
jumper, maybe. A hoodie.

Unlikely a paramedic. And it wasn't from
Corbridge's jacket.

You're saying someone else had been
there?

Likely. But it gets worse, and this
didn't come out of the review.

Finger nail scrapings were taken from
Marion as standard.

I pulled all the samples from storage,
went through everything, and there were

fibres recovered from under her nail.

Well, that didn't make the path report.

So I renowned Dr Spears with health
vital evidence.

Maybe it didn't fit his narrative like
the cuff mark.

Maybe he didn't examine things properly.

Malice or incompetence, which is worse.

But these fibres could be from the poor
woman gripping whoever it was bushed

her. Could be.

They're not a match for any clothing or
fabrics found in the house, if we trust

those searches.

At the very least, this evidence should
have been disclosed.

Aye.

And the defence team would have had a
field day. I need these fibres analysed.

Already underway.

I don't care what anyone else says about
you, Paula.

You're good.

That's the boss now.

Good to work for?

What, compared to you?

Well, nobody's that good.

I was just passing.

I heard Lucas Colbridge had been linked
to another murder.

Oh, you heard that, did you?

Good to see you, Gary.

Mum, I'll let you go on with it.

Makes it likely we were right all along,
doesn't it?

Killed his missus, now he's killed
again.

Except we found no motive or opportunity
for that.

Oh, he's in jail with this bloke, right?

Maybe Colbridge confessed his guilt and
so then he had to get rid of him.

Ah, speculation without evidence. That's
your MO, not mine.

And, my dear, we just got the job done.

Aye, by hiding evidence.

Evidence? What evidence?

Fibres under the deceased's fingernails.

The undisclosed cuff mark.

They'd have torpedoed your case, and you
know it.

Fy, but you're asking me to remember
evidence from, what, 20 -odd years ago?

Ah, well, luckily it's not your case
now.

You can get back to your fishing, pet.

You'd better hope that nobody pops up to
comb through all your cases one of

these days, Vera.

Accusing you of all sorts.

If one of my cases wrongly convicted
someone, I'd want it questioned.

And damn me reputation.

Kenny, is that the first time you've
spoken to Creeland here in this case?

Yes, ma 'am. He just walked in. Front
desk called me up.

Just remember whose team you're on.

So, tell us about Gwen Cobden.

Rich Rollins is a bully and displays
coercive and controlling behaviour.

Never opened his mouth when I met him.
But his background check's clear and his

alibi for last Wednesday holds up. He
was at the pub with his mate.

Except I went back and spoke to the
barman. He said Rich was there a couple

days earlier and he had a run -in with
someone.

A run -in? With who?

Well, there's no CCTV at the pub, but he
ID'd a picture of Zach Martin. He said

he punched the fella and told him to
stay away.

Well, there's your black eye.

It's clear to me that Zach's death is
about the assault on Dylan Rowlands. We

know that Rich punched and threatened
him.

So what if a few days later he went
further and killed him?

Okay, bring him in.

CPTV of the Crown, your local.

This is you going in there last Monday.

And this...

is Zachary Martin coming in 30 minutes
later.

Now, you told us you hadn't seen him,
let alone had a fight.

A fight.

Well, what else would you call it when a
lad ends up with a shiner?

Witnesses have told us you weren't so
happy to see Zach. There was an

You threw a punch.

Not to mention what he said you'd do if
you saw him again.

Then two days later, Zach's dead.

Look. Love, your anger is
understandable.

Why should this lad be out, free,
waltzing in the pubs, while your lad's

suffering? Yeah, why should he? So you
did hit him?

Barely.

And the threat?

I just said, I never want to see him
again.

And I didn't.

Well, we know he can lash out.

Steph, can we break his alibi?

He was definitely on a roofing job out
towards Blackham until just after six.

He was on site the whole day and then at
the pub from 7 .30.

Could he have snuck out?

Mark, get on to ANPR. Let's see if we
can spot his van on the road. Mum, I'm

going back to this barman and that mate
that Rich said he was with. Could have

been lying for him. I'll come with you.

In the meantime, we'll hang on to him.

Mum, that ANPR check you asked for.

There's one number plate of interest
near Zach Martin's murder site. Whose

vehicle? Dina Corbridge's. Now tell me
these two cases aren't connected.

Do you remember the fella I told you
about, Zachary Martin?

On the same wing as your brother.

Oh, yes.

Well, your car was flagged near to where
he died.

On the night he died.

What?

Where? Out towards Holderwood.

Holderwood?

Well, I have a regular bridge evening.

Oh, well, you'd hardly have been playing
bridge on the day your brother walks

free from court, though, would you,
love? No, no, not that day.

But, yes, I remember. I did take a drive
that evening to clear my head.

On your own?

Look, it's not with you?

No.

Can we ask him ourselves?

He's not here right now. He's gone out
for a walk. A walk?

With his health problems?

What's his mobile number?

He's only just out of prison.

D .I. Ashworth, get forensics on that
car.

Hold on.

You'd know right.

This is an invasion of privacy.

If you could remain in the house.

Yeah, well, just get them here as quick
as you can, will you?

Suppose we're going to let Rich Rowlands
go, then?

Well, I've had bombers convinced he went
nowhere on Wednesday evening.

He seems sure enough to me. Can't see
him lying for Rich.

I, um... I met up with your Jessie.

What? My Jessie? Why?

Because she's at her wit's end.

Well, she should talk to me.

Well, it sounds like they've all tried.

She's worried about you and Celine.

About the fighting.

What's going on, Joe?

Selina's trying to get it to speak to
someone else now.

A therapist?

Well, maybe you should.

You're feeling guilty, is that it?

Guilty? What for?

For not being there when your dad
passed.

Well, I had a job to do.

You are putting up a front. I can see
it.

Well, thanks for that.

Who needs a therapist when you were
around there?

news on Corbridge, or is he still on
walkabout?

Nothing yet, ma 'am. Shall I put a
formal alert out?

We've got confirmed alibis for his Mrs.

Parole Officer and Prince Charming
himself, Rich Rowland.

And Greg Wakely.

The prison confirmed he was on shift
that day.

And we can place him travelling to Leeds
visiting his brother.

Ma 'am, that was forensics from Dina's
house.

They found Zach Martin's fingerprint.

What?

Where? Inside a car.

They're bringing the vehicle back for a
closer examination.

Right, and I want Dina Colbridge brought
in and all.

Now you can put out an alert for her
brother.

Dina's being processed.

A full search of her house is on the
way.

Ah, good. Come through.

Any info on those blue fibres?

Mm -hm.

Common synthetic clothing fibres.

Polyester. Lightly from a fleecy sort of
top. Unless we have a garment to match

them to.

So what have you got on the car?

We've got Zach Martin's fingerprints.

We know that.

Where are they?

Found on the inside of the passenger
door. Here.

So he was in the car.

Lucas Corbridge's prints are also on
this side.

Oh, well, that makes sense.

We know Dana drove him home when he was
released.

But Corbridge's prints are also on the
steering wheel.

He's driven the car.

The position of the prints suggests,
though, at some point, we obviously

put a date on any of this. Well, it has
to be in the last week, Paula, unless

the screws let him out for the
occasional spin.

But we don't know if that was when Zach
was still in the vehicle.

No, but there's one more thing, and it
does put Zach and the vehicle in the

place on the day he died.

What?

In the front grill here, we found blood
spots.

It's like Martin's blood.

Testing to confirm.

But if it is, it's likely spatter from
when he was struck and killed.

So this car was right there in that car
park?

Along with whoever it was drove it.

It's Steph.

Is Dina ready?

Yeah, Mum. She's asking about Lucas.

Seems genuinely worried about where he's
got to.

Kenny's chasing the possible sight of
them now, Mum.

But look at this.

A withdrawal from her account two days
before Zach's death.

Hey, Mark.

That's a belter.

We found these inside your car, Dina.

Zach Martin's fingerprints.

How'd they get there?

All right, what about this?

On Monday, you withdrew £1 ,000 in cash
from your bank.

What was that for?

Did Zachary Martin ask for it?

Did he threaten you or your brother?

No. It was just to make him go away.

Stop all this nonsense about getting in
touch with Amelia.

Lucas should have told him I wasn't
going to help. Because you didn't want

back in touch.

They're totally separate lives.

I told Zach it should stay that way.

I gave him...

Money for his trouble.

And he went away.

The problem being, that's not the only
evidence we found in your vehicle.

We found blood spots.

An initial analysis suggests that's
Zachary Martin's blood, which means your

was there when he was killed.

You told us you went for a drive last
Wednesday.

Did you meet Zach?

No, I... No, I... No?

Anyone else driven your car in the last
week?

No. No, how about your brother? Did he
go for a spin? Because we've got his

fingerprint on the steering wheel.

No.

My brother isn't the murderer.

Did he drive your car on Wednesday
evening?

He asked for...

He said he had to get out and feel some
freedom.

He was only gone an hour.

But he met Zach.

I don't know. I don't know.

When we got back from court, there was a
package.

What package?

At the house.

Addressed to Lucas.

Someone must have dropped it off.

And I didn't see him open it, but
later...

When he was in his room, I heard him
talking like he was on a phone.

Well, she said our brother didn't have a
mobile.

But what if Zach delivered one in that
package?

The pay -as -you -go number that rang
Zach was Lucas trying to meet.

But when the two of them did meet,
Colbridge killed them. Why?

Well, we need to find him and ask him.

These two cases couldn't be more linked.

pay -as -you -go phone that rang Zach's
secret phone? Has it been used again?

I don't think so. I'll check.

Mum, pictures of what was found hidden
in Dina's loft.

That's all been barred and photographed.

Nice. And what's this?

Presumably one of Dina's tops.

Is that blood?

Yeah, that's what forensics think.

And this was found in Dina's loft. Well,
my money's on Paula

confirming that blood's a match for
Marion Corbridge.

And those fibers found under her
fingernails are from this garment.

So we've got her.

But what would be her motive for killing
her?

She didn't.

Is something wrong?

Have you found Lucas?

No, but we found a blue top, a blood
-stained one.

It's Amelia's, isn't it?

Amelia was there when her man died.

Now, did she push her?

Did she kill Marion?

And her dad never knew, and that's why
you've kept them apart.

It's only because of her.

Lucas was locked up.

You could have told the police this.

Set Lucas free.

Or by jailing his daughter.

You think you'd ever have forgiven me?

What, instead you watched an innocent
man get banged up for 20 years?

I stood by him.

And I supported him as he fought to get
out.

Lucas understands what I... I did. You
withheld the truth, love, perverted the

course of justice, and you're going to
lose him again. Now, did you tell

Martin what Amelia had done?

No.

No.

But he... He asked again and again why I
wouldn't help.

What had Amelia done that was so bad?

I said too much.

I said it was all her fault.

And he worked it out.

So the lad takes Dina's money to walk
away.

But he must have agonised over it.
There's his mate languishing in prison,

knowing if his case is going to be
overturned. That's probably what drove

the pub that night. Rich Rowland smacked
him one.

Well, it must have knocked some sense
into him.

Because the minute Corbridge is
released, the lad decides to tell him on

exactly what happened to his wife.

So he delivers a cheap mobile phone in
order to set up a meeting with her.

he couldn't rock up to the house, could
he? She wouldn't let him near.

Steph, the pay if you go?

No calls this afternoon, ma 'am, but
then there was one. To Rockwick

That's just where we're going. Get your
coat. Tell them we're on our way. Ma

'am.

All right, let us know.

What?

Steph says that Imogen left the base. I
don't know where she is. Oh, great. Now

we've lost Corbridge and her.

Aye, well, they're together.

Well, of course. They're together, but
where?

Well, Kenny's lead was the sight of
Lucas on a bus.

Elemuth Road, headed towards the coast.

Well, that's back the other way.

So Shireen killed her own mother?

Unthinkable, isn't it?

Fifteen -year -old.

Well, that's probably why she was never
properly looked at in the first place.

Her dad was a much better bet.

Oh, well, DCI Creelan picked his man,
and Spears made the forensics fit. What

a... Sorry, Matt.

Kenny? They found Imogen's car.

They found Imogen's car.

All right, stay there. We're on our way.

Any sign of her or Corbridge?

Not yet, ma 'am. But it is her car.

Well, get back up there.

They're already on their way, ma 'am.
I'll check the beach. Okay.

No, you wait here, Kenny, till she comes
back.

Right.

Imogen?

You alright, pet, up here on your own?

Your dad not here?

No.

He was.

He's gone now.

But he called you, arranged to meet you
here.

This is where Mum's ashes was scattered.

Now you're going to have to come with
me, Pet. No.

OK. Do you want to tell me what took you
home from the youth club that evening?

It was just a stupid teen disco.

There were loads of kids.

It was easy to slip away.

There was this girl I didn't like.

She said she'd seen me mum coming out of
a hotel with some posh -looking bloke.

She was laughing about it.

But you must have suspected something,
otherwise you wouldn't have believed

It made sense of stuff, yeah.

Phone calls Mam heard.

Things Dad didn't see.

So you went home and... And I found Mam
upstairs.

I hoped she'd deny it.

Say it was just stupid gossip.

But she'd been drinking.

As usual. Oh, and she didn't deny it.

She got angry.

Said I didn't know how it felt to be
ignored by your own husband.

She said she was going to leave me, Dad.

Take me with her?

So I pushed her hard and then she went
backward.

She was there and then she's gone.

The sound as she hit the floor.

I couldn't tell my dad that I'd pushed
her. He was already heartbroken. I was

terrified that the police were going to
come back for me.

But I knew he would be exonerated
because he didn't

do it.

And when he was convicted?

That was when I broke her.

I told me Auntie Dina.

She knew the truth would be a worse
sentence than your dad had already got.

Your dad's been through enough.

20 years of hell. He should be free.

That is maybe, love.

Now, where is he? Where's your dad?

He's gone.

Amelia! Step away from her!

Dad, I told you to go get away. Mr.
Corbridge, we know what you did to

Martin. He told you what had really
happened with your wife, didn't he?

And you killed him to stop him reporting
it to us.

I won't go back inside.

I won't let her go either.

I had to stop Zach to protect you,
Amelia.

It's all over.

I've got backup on the way and I have an
officer on your daughter's vehicle.

Not anymore, you haven't.

I didn't want to hurt anyone.

And I don't want to hurt anyone else.

Lucas Corbridge!

Don't! Stop there!

Dad, no!

Dad, no!

Please! Dad! Dad!

Stop! It's over!

Kenny. Kenny.

Kenny.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

There's news of the harvest of the
barley, wheat and corn. And she knows

we'll go to our graves and how we shall
be born.

One for sorrow, two for joy.

Three's for a girl and four...

Oh, well, when he wakes up, will you
tell him I called?

Right.

Thanks, love.

How is he?

Wait, not out of the woods.

I've got an officer in hospital and I've
still got to justify our actions up on

that clifftop with a perpetrator dead.

And worse, that could have been you,
Joe.

What were you thinking?

Lucas was coming towards you. I was
trying to protect you.

It was reckless.

You've been behaving erratically and I
think you're missing this right. I think

you need to see someone.

Wait, are you trying to link what
happened up there?

With me dad? Are you serious?

Why are you so obsessed with it? I just
need to know you're going to be okay. If

you move on.

Is that it?

So really this is about you?

You've got to forgive yourself, Joe.

Don't lose your family.

Coming from a woman who never had one.

And never processed her own dad's death.

You need to get your own house in order
before judging mine, son.

That's a sensitive choice of words, ma
'am.

You know what, why don't you take the
promotion and then we can all have a bit

of peace, eh?
