I'm so glad you could come.

This is how it's done though, look.

Hello.

I like what you're wearing.

- Thank you.
- It's nice.

I had three...

What you doing here?

I told you, it's over.

Go home, Maddie.

Hey, hey.

Don't do anything stupid.

Stop.

Maddie.

Stop. You're crazy. Stop!

Stop, Maddie.

Get off.

Oh.

Whatever you think this is,
yeah...

it ain't love.

Hello?

Oh, my God.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Someone!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Oh, come on.

For God's sake.

Hello?

Anyone home?

Oh, sugar.

Where's the phone?

Come on.

- Hello?
- Oh, God.

No, it's alright, it's alright.

I'm a police officer.

Honestly. Seriously.

What are you doing in my house?

Look, I...I just needed to get
to a phone.

- There's been an emergency.
- Well, how did you get in here?

Sorry, the... the window was
open, I...

look, I...I don't have ID,
but...

honestly, I'm a police officer.
You can look it up online.

Three Counties Police website,
Thomas Lynley.

Well, what's happened?

Someone's drowned on the Broads.

I need to call for help.

Please.

Okay. Err...

I'm Donna, Donna Rathmell.

Here, you can use this.

Thanks.

You know the area.
I may need your help.

Oh...

You know him?

Err...

Alex Kerne, his...

his parents own
The Stracey Arms, the hotel.

God, what happened?

I think he must've capsized.

Got dragged under by
the tow-back.

Where's his kayak? Sorry.

The thing's full of water.

Do you know where he would've
launched from?

Erm, upstream.

There's a...
there's a landing spot.

Can you show me?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Do you mind? Sorry.

Just down here.

Inspector?

Miss Rathmell?

We just got the call.

This is Sergeant Athill.

Are you the one that found
the body?

Thomas Lynley,
Major Investigations Team.

What, you just happened
to be here?

I was out on a run.

This is our local GP, Dr Bessey.

It's Alex Kerne.

Jesus.

Listen, I think we need
to cordon off this area.

Yeah, but... but it's an
accident, wouldn't you say?

I'm treating it as
a suspicious death.

What?

I can confirm he's dead.

Tow-back's made a mess of him,
poor lad.

He has cuts to the face
and neck.

Can we get them out of here?

- Seriously. Hey.
- Hey.

Hey, get the hell away
from here.

You put that damn phone away.

Come on, come on. Let's go.

I don't get any
phone signal here.

Yeah, there isn't any.
Not beside the river.

I need to get through to
my sergeant.

You can use my radio.
But look, I...

I know his family, okay?

I need to inform his parents.

How long have you known him,
Alex?

All his life.

Everyone knows everybody.

He and my son, Craig,
were at school together.

And Craig works for his parents.

I'm so sorry.

Tammy?

Are, err, Mr and Mrs Kerne here?

Yeah. They're in the back.

A delivery.
I'll just go get 'em.

Dad?

- Hey.
-Hey.

- Craig.
- What you doing here?

Down by the river,
there's been an accident.

What kind of accident?

What's going on?

Erm...

listen, erm... I'll...

I'll tell you all about
it later, bud, okay?

Alright?

Steve-o. Everything alright?

I, err, I need to, err,
speak to you both.

- Who's your friend?
-DI Lynley.

What's going on?

Let's go somewhere private,
can we?

Yeah.

What?

No.

No.

No.

Thought this
was supposed to be your day off?

It didn't quite work out
like that.

What you smirking at?

Lycra.

Right, where we heading?

Sedgeford first,
I need to get my car.

There're some clothes
in the boot.

And then I'll show you where
the body was discovered.

Oh, please.

Okay, we need to seal off
the cordon

and retrace his steps
along the bank. Alright?

- Right you are.
- Yes, Sir.

That's where I found the body,

just floating in the water.

And what's this?

It's some kind of monument.

Is there any reason to suppose
it wasn't just an accident?

Yeah. Here.

Take those. Let me show you.

Yeah, yeah... start here.

This is where he launched from.

Okay.

And here...

Now, this was his.

It's bone dry.

It's unused.

He went into the water
without wearing it.

And that's the sum total of
your reasoning?

- It's a bit of a stretch.
- No, look.

There's two sets of prints,

and then one of them,
here, stops abruptly.

Look, can you see?

And then those,
those are drag marks.

Also, the plug in his kayak

had been removed.

What?

He went into the water in a boat

that was basically a death trap.

Sir?

A tooth.

I reckon that's human.

Residue emanating from
the nose and mouth,

classic sign of drowning.

The body looks like it's been
battered by the rocks.

What about the tooth we found?

There's one missing here.

It could've been a fall,
I guess,

or a blow from something.

You noticed something?

This injury here doesn't fit
the pattern.

And there's a couple of others
like it.

They look older.

I don't think they've come from
the accident.

I'll need to take a closer look.

The police are sending
a car for us

in half an hour.

Where's Keira?
We can't leave her.

She's upstairs.
Tammy's with her.

I wish things
had been different.

I keep replaying the last thing
he said to me.

Don't.

Don't think about it.

Honestly.

He...

he didn't mean any of it.

Come on.

Did...

did Craig's dad say
what happened?

Accident on the water.

That's all they know.

He loved that place.

He spent his life on the water.

Hey.

Hey, come here.

I'm sorry.

I should be comforting you.

It's fine.

You don't think...

I mean...

What?

What you showed me,

that stuff she said to him
those messages.

No. Don't... don't even say it.

I need to see her.

I need to ask her, face to face.

I'm so sorry.

We need a formal identification.

It's alright.

I need to see him.

I need to see my baby.

Oh, God...

Keira. Sweetheart,
I am so sorry.

I just heard the news.

Oh, God, you poor thing.
Your parents, I...

- I can't imagine.
- Who told you?

Erm, one of the builders
saw the police

down in the village.

I...I want to speak to
Madelaine.

Oh, actually, she's not here
right now.

I can wait. Can I...can I wait?

It's really important that
I speak to her.

Mm-hmm. But you...
your mum and dad,

they probably need you
back home.

No, they're not there.

They're with the police.

Anyway, it's probably best
that you go.

I'm sure whatever you have to
tell her, it can...

it can wait.

We're thinking of you.

That was Keira and Tammy.

I told them you weren't here.

She was in a state, but...

even so...

I don't want you
mixing with them.

Take your medicine.

I'm sorry to tell you,

but we're treating the death
as suspicious.

- What?
- Erm...

erm... I don't understand.

I thought it was an accident.

Well, there are certain things
that just don't add up.

Like what?

Well, we think
there might've been

someone else there
with him.

And we just need to ask some
more questions about Alex.

Was he in college or school?

He left school after his GCSEs.

He worked every summer
at the hotel.

He, erm, was starting his
own business.

Yeah.

It was Outward Bound.

He was teaching kayaking.

So, he was pretty experienced?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Do you have any idea
who might've been

with him this morning?

Erm...

he may have been teaching
a lesson.

I'm not sure.

And did he always wear
a life jacket

when he was on the water?

- Yeah, of course.
- Always.

He was very safety conscious.

Well, not the first time
someone's drowned

in the river there.

Yeah, there's some sort of
monument on the riverbank.

Look, clearly the kayak
was tampered with.

Also, he was experienced,
he was an instructor.

I think someone was with him

in the moments before he died,

a kayaking lesson.

Why haven't they come forward?

Why haven't they contacted us?

Look.

There's a set of
prints that stops abruptly.

And then there are drag marks.

Maybe Alex was knocked
unconscious,

dragged along,
then dumped in the water.

Millions cut in our budget,

this whole department
is drowning.

I've got criminal gangs
running trafficking routes,

I've got an increase in violent
street crime.

Some kid drowns in a river,

known to be a dangerous spot.

I understand.

But I promise the press will
have a field day

if we don't investigate

and it turns out a crime
was committed.

Alright.

Thank you, Sir.

We should check out
the other death.

- What?
- You said there was a monument.

The place is clearly dangerous.

Yeah, no, good idea.
Can you look into it?

Mm-hmm.

It would've been easier
if we had his phone.

We trawled the riverbank,
no sign of it.

I've been through his laptop.

He had an online booking system
for lessons.

- And?
- You were right.

Someone booked in
for that morning.

The name given was Adams.

I've been trying to track them.

Oh, and I've been through
his social media accounts.

He's obviously something of
a Romeo. Check this out.

"You are everything
to me."

God, I hate teenagers.

Presumably you were one once.

Mm.

Message here from his admirer,

dated a month ago.

He was threatened.

Oh. Thanks.

Err, this one is the Hill Fort,
up by Warham.

Warham Camp, it's called.

Who's the girl?

Friend of a neighbour.

And that one is the flint pits,
an iron age mine.

It's a local farmer.

Well, it's a beautiful area.

Yeah.

Now I can see why people
are drawn to it.

But you're not from around here?

London, Finchley.

But...

I needed somewhere to
escape to after my divorce,

so...

Do you make your living
from photography?

Lord no. I wish I did.

I teach three days a week
at the local college,

art and photography.

Did you ever teach Alex Kerne?

Err, only for a week or two.

He barely even started
the course.

Erm, come through.

Dropped out of school.

Do you mind if I ask you
about Alex?

Err, sure. But...

I dunno how much help I can be.

Well, you live closest to
the river.

It's possible you might've seen
or heard something.

You didn't see anything
or anyone

by the river this morning?

Err, well now you mention it,
I...

yeah, I guess I do
remember hearing

raised voices when I was
on my out.

Any idea who that was?

Okay.

Who did Alex hang out with?

Err, he had a girlfriend,
Maddie, Madelaine.

I guess you'd call theirs a
up and down relationship.

- What does that mean?
- Just a bit volatile.

Erm, she's just a bit troubled.

And would anyone going to
the river,

do they need access
across your land?

It's not my land. I mean...

everything beyond
the garden gate's actually...

owned by developers.

It's just sold.

I mean, you know about
the Larwoods?

No, tell me.

Local family,
property developers.

And they invested money in
the hotel,

gonna turn it into some
sort of...

flash spa and golf course.

Okay.

Madelaine's their daughter.

Right.

Larwood?

Yeah, it's a big land deal.

Yes, I read about it in
the trade press.

400 acres, spa, golf course.

Yes. Apparently it's going to
revitalise the area.

The Larwoods are worth
a great deal, several million.

Well, that's the gossip.

Going to renovate the hotel
next year,

turn it into a private club,
install a first-class chef.

Well...

Right, food is ready.

You really made all this, Tommy?

Back at Oxford,
you couldn't boil an egg.

Well, people change,
learn new skills.

Right. Are you sure that there's
not a wrapper out there

in the bin somewhere?

Now who's the detective?

How long are you renting
the place for?

Oh, I, err, I only signed up
for a year.

Gonna buy somewhere?

Why?

You keen to sell me something?

No.

Just wondering if you're
putting down roots here.

Follow me, guys.

Okay, step into my office.

Okay, carbon fibre.

You can see where
it's been dented.

I found DNA on the paddle,

ran a test and it matches
the victim's.

Well, he was missing a tooth.

Do you reckon maybe he was
struck with the paddle blade?

Well, we found splinters in
the victim's mouth

which match it, so that supports
that conclusion, yeah.

Someone attacked him.

Yeah.

Died from drowning, no question.

Lungs were heavy
and hyperinflated.

The missing tooth suggests
he was hit first,

likely knocked unconscious.

Oh, and also...

...there's DNA from
one other person

found under the victim's
fingernails.

What, really?

Yeah.
See if you can get a match.

Run it through the database.

Yeah, okay.

And then there's these,
unusual pattern.

Hard to tell, but I reckon
they're a month old.

And one of them
has been sutured.

What?

He was seen by a doctor.

Interesting.

Everyone keeps calling.

No one knows
what to say.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna drive down
and see my mother.

I need to tell her face to face.

It feels... weird,

the way it happened
in exactly the same place.

Yeah, I know.

I know, I know,
I keep thinking about it.

Why don't you open some
of them cards?

Nope. Nothing.

No hospital admissions
for Alex Kerne.

She said one of the wounds
was sutured.

Well, I dunno, maybe
the local doctor dealt with him.

Okay.

Then why didn't he
say anything to us?

Hi.

Can I help you with something?

We need to see Dr Bessey.

Surgery's just closing
for today.

It's not a medical appointment.

We're here on police business.

...okay then.

- Ah, Dr Bessey.
- Inspector.

Can we beg a moment
of your time?

We're just leaving.

Bye, Mrs Larwood.

- Bye.
- Larwood?

You're the local developer here?
- Yeah.

Inspector Lynley,
Sergeant Havers.

And who's this?

Err, this is my daughter,
Madelaine.

Ah, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry, what are you
talking about?

Alex Kerne.

We'd like to talk to you
about him, Madelaine.

Oh no, no, no,
you've been misinformed.

He is nothing to do with us.
Bye-bye.

Please.

What a lovely little place
you have here.

Hmm. Been my home for 40 years.

How can I help you?

Can we ask you about Alex Kerne?

Of course, yes.

Had he been seen by you
recently?

Err, seen?

Emergency medical appointment.

He was a patient here, certainly.

How about in the last month?

You're asking me to open up
his private medical files.

I'm not sure I can do that.

Oh, we're enquiring about
something quite specific.

An attack.

I'm not quite sure I follow you.

There were a number of scars
on Alex's body.

Well, he was caught by
the current, so, err...

No, no, not that.

Our pathologist says that these
occurred a month ago.

The skin was split.

But the wounds had been treated,
sutured,

by a medical professional.

It's likely he
would've come to you, Doctor.

We can get a warrant,

seize his medical records.

No.

No, that, err, that won't be
necessary.

Yes, he came to me.
He'd been attacked.

He didn't see who his
assailant was.

Did you report it to the police?

Alex had been the victim of
two separate attacks.

The second one killed him.

He was struck in the face
with a paddle,

and, given the absence of
defensive injuries,

it's most likely
he was unconscious

when he went in the water.

The earlier attack
may have been linked.

Same perpetrator perhaps.

But you didn't say anything.

Why?

Why did you fail to mention it
to us?

I know people.

People with influence.

You can't come in here
and interrogate me in this way.

Well, we know people too,
as it happens.

His dad's an earl,

if you wanna play that game.

I never would've mentioned it
if I knew

you were gonna keep
banging on about it.

Sorry, my Lord.

Hey, how's it going?

How, erm, how far have you got?

Oh, we're still just collating
evidence.

You might have some information
we need, actually.

Sure. Yeah, yeah. Happy to help.

How can I be of service?

Alex dated Madelaine Larwood.

Who told you that?

What's your perspective on her?
What type of kid is she?

We know their relationship
was volatile.

Well, I...I can't really comment
on that, so...

We know someone was sending him

threatening messages online.

Does that sound like
the kind of thing

Madelaine would do or...?

Did he have other lovers?

- You don't understand.
- Understand?

Okay, fine, well...

explain it to us.

This is a special community.

You know, it's friends
and neighbours, right?

Crime rate's low.

See, my job is to keep things
ticking over, not...

lock someone up every time
there's an altercation.

So, you know.

You know he was attacked
about a month ago?

Yeah.

Why wasn't it reported?

Alex, erm...

he refused to say who
was responsible.

It was probably just two kids
having a quarrel.

Why on earth didn't you tell us?

You think a small community

can just make up its own rules?

This isn't the Wild West.

You'll have to excuse me.
I'm needed elsewhere.

What the hell is happening
with this village?

That's the
information we needed,

two kids having a quarrel.

He never said
it was Madelaine Larwood.

Let's speak to her friends
before we talk to her.

Hmm.

Hang on, is that Keira?
Alex's sister.

Keira?

I'm DI Lynley.

I'm Sergeant Havers.

Can we come sit with you
for a bit?

Just for a chat.

You know, don't you, that...

we think Alex's death
was suspicious?

This wasn't the first time
he was attacked.

Someone hurt him before?

I warned him.

Alex?

I told him, she's weird.

She does weird stuff.

She, Madelaine?

They started
seeing each other.

Mm-hmm.

I don't think he was...
as serious as she was.

He used to go over there
when her parents were out.

Hmm.

And she sort of... sort of
fixated on... Alex.

You know, she would
get jealous if...

if he so much as looked at
another person.

You think he was interested in
someone else?

He kept disappearing.

She, she couldn't get
a hold of him.

We had this party.

She turned up.

You know I fancy you, right?

She went batshit crazy.

Cut herself.

In front of everyone.

Get off.

She wanted his attention.

She was sending him
threatening messages online.

Are you certain they were
from her?

A week later,
he comes staggering home

with blood all over him.

He'd been attacked...

on the farm track.

Right.

And what happened next?

Steve Athill came to see us.

We were asked not to
talk about it.

We?

Me, my mum and dad, everyone.

Hang on, you...
you're saying you were all told

to stay silent?

We all knew Madelaine
had done it.

Yeah, we, we were warned
not to cause a fuss.

And everyone just went along
with it?

You don't understand
this place.

The Larwoods could literally

chuck us all off the land
right now,

if that's what they wanted.

Everyone is beholden to them.

They invested hundreds of
thousands in the hotel.

You know, they... they own
a massive chunk of it.

Steve's son, Craig,

he's been promised a promotion

as soon as the new place opens.

Everyone needs
the Larwood money,

we can't afford for them
to pull out.

Keira?

Keira, look at me.

Do you think Madelaine
did this to Alex?

I don't know.

Hi, can I help you?
Hugh Larwood.

DI Lynley.

Actually, it's your daughter
we've come to see.

She's not very well.

Not a good time.

I'm afraid we're in a position
to insist.

Alright, follow me.

This way.

Lynley, do I know that name?

Err, my family live
at Howenstow.

Oh, of course.

Your father's
the Earl of Asherton.

You know him?

Fakenham.

He's always at the meet.

- Yeah.
- Good breeder.

He's got a fine set of stables.

So, how long have you
lived here?

Oh, I was born here.

This place has always been
home to me.

We made our money
in property abroad.

And you decided to invest it
in the local economy?

Hmm.

You're major shareholders
in the hotel. Is that right?

We're partners with
the Kerne family.

We're investigating
the death of Alex Kerne.

Sorry, I...

I...I thought it was
an accident.

I mean, that's what people
are saying.

Your daughter, Madelaine,

was involved with Alex?

I don't know where you'd
get that from.

Madelaine threatened Alex.

He also had multiple wounds
from an attack.

Now hang on.

When did she first start
seeing him?

Yeah, we... we didn't think it
was a good idea.

I mean, he was
a nice enough lad, but...

since we were connected
in... in business...

and she fell for him
pretty badly.

Actually, she became...
rather unhappy.

She kept going out,
trying to find him.

And he was...

Well, he was, he was just young,
I suppose, and...

didn't want a long-term
relationship.

He saw other girls?

Yeah, we, err, we assumed.

So, Madelaine got jealous,
hence the threat.

Threat is a strong word,
Inspector.

We found messages
on social media.

No other way of saying it.

I think it's time we spoke
to Madelaine.

Right.

Maddie?

Madelaine?

Err, I can't... Madelaine?

Can you do something?

Madelaine!

Maddie. Madelaine.

She's gone.

Hugh.

Hugh!

Control to DS Havers?

DS Havers.

We've put out a description.

Not a lot of officers in
the area.

Okay.

Urgh.

I keep thinking about
her online stuff.

- Yeah, me too.
- Right?

"I don't wanna live
without you."

Okay, so where would you go?

I reckon I know.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Madelaine?

Hi.

I'm Sergeant Havers, police.

Barbara Havers.
Can I come talk to you?

Why are you here?

We're looking for you, actually.

Just to check you're okay.

What, you think I did this?

You think I'm the one.
I...I didn't hurt him.

I didn't kill him, I loved him.

Okay.

I just wanna talk, yeah?

Are you alright?

They were gonna send me away,

to a boarding school.

They didn't want me
mixing with him.

He was the only thing in my life
that made me happy.

And now I've lost him.

Come on.

- Beth?
- Hugh?

They've found her.
The police have got her.

I'm just going over to
the station.

You need to talk to them.

You need to tell them
everything.

They won't charge her.
They don't have any evidence.

Everything will soon blow over,
you'll see.

Just don't get involved.

Alright?

I just saw Maddie
with those detectives.

I reckon they've arrested her.

What for?

This is DS Havers and DI Lynley

interviewing Madelaine Larwood

in the presence of her father,
Hugh Larwood,

and the family's solicitor,
James Woolston.

Okay, so, Madelaine,
you've been cautioned.

Do you understand what
that means?

I need you to say it
out loud, please,

for the purpose of
the recording.

- Yes.
-Okay.

So, we need to talk about Alex.

I know that it upsets you,

but you need to tell us
everything...

...from the beginning.

When did you start seeing him?

Madelaine?

About four months ago.

Before the summer
there was a party

on the waste ground,

near the river.

We all go there regularly.

That's when we first, err,
got together.

And you had pretty strong
feelings for him, right?

What made you do that
to yourself?

Was that because of Alex?

You thought he was
being unfaithful?

Yes?

What made you suspicious of him?

Sometimes I couldn't
get a hold of him for hours.

It was like he just disappeared.

Hmm, there must've been
something else,

something to make you
suspect him, right?

What was it?

They had a special place.

They?

A place where they would meet.

What place?

The old woods.

I saw pictures of him.

Go on.

On his phone.

Naked in the woods.

She doesn't have an alibi,
for either incident.

I dunno.

- Doesn't feel right.
- No?

If she was guilty,
she'd at least

try and cover her tracks.

Yeah. We don't have enough
to detain her.

Tony, you got something for us?

Dr James Bessey received
an official reprimand

from the GMC for undocumented
prescriptions.

He has a history of handing out
drugs without keeping records.

That explains why he didn't want
the law

- poking their noses in.
- Mm.

Oh, and a message from
tech support.

- Yeah?
- Alex's phone.

We got a signal.
It was only brief.

But someone's likely
turned it on and off again.

You're kidding?

Suppose it's too much
to hope someone

managed to locate it?

Like I said, it was brief.

Argh.

Argh. Argh.

Argh.

Argh!

Ben. What are you doing?

No. No. Stop. Please.

He's gone mad.

Call the police.

Alright.

Stop.

Ben, stop right there.

Don't move!

You hear me?

You're not gonna shoot me.

Well, let's find out.

Attention all units.

Armed man threatening residents
at Dereham Manor.

Suspect believed to be
Benjamin Kerne.

Approach with caution.

We're on our way.
We're just at the crossroads.

Don't do anything stupid, Ben.

Please.

- She did it.
- Ben.

Your daughter.

Your sick daughter
killed my son.

You don't know what
you're saying.

You're upset.
Now, put that thing down.

God, no.

Beth, keep out of the way.

Last warning.

Jesus, he's got a gun.

Hey.

Mr Larwood, put the weapon down.

Not till he throws down
that thing.

Hugh, please.

There are armed officers
on their way,

so, I suggest you both
put down your weapons.

Everyone's in on it.

That crazy girl...

threatened Alex and then
he comes home beaten to a pulp.

And no one dared to speak out.

Ben, please. Hugh...

Yeah, yeah, some spoiled
little rich kid

who always gets what she wants.

And when she doesn't...

...oh, she goes off the rails.

You...

We've sold ourselves.

All of us.

This whole community.

Mr Larwood?

Put the gun down.

We're here now,
we can take care of it.

Here, here, here. I know.

I want him arrested and charged.

- He threatened us...
- You threatened him too.

It wasn't loaded.

And anyway,
I was protecting my property,

as is my right to do.

I need you to surrender
your weapon.

What?

And I need to see
your gun licence, too.

Look, you were involved in
a violent altercation.

I need to take that as evidence.

Fine.

Hey.

Look.

What? What is it?

What have you seen?

I'm not certain.

Where do you want to
go, love?

- Norwich.
-Hop in.

Thanks.

This could certainly be
the weapon

used to attack Alex Kerne.

The historic attack, I mean.

See the shape of the butt?

Identical.

Madelaine could've taken it
and used it.

Could have.

Well, everyone
in the community's

convinced it was her.

Sorry, but it's still
not conclusive.

Whatever happened to
going with your gut?

Mm. Station,
we've got a visitor.

- Thanks, Maia.
-You're welcome.

You don't have any evidence
linking her to the crime.

Wrong...

...actually.

The attack from a month ago,

it was done with the butt
of a rifle.

Same rifle your husband owns.

You can't prove she was
the one who used it.

No, but we know she had
access to it.

It wasn't her.

What?

The attack on the boy
down by the farm track.

You know who did it.

- Mrs Larwood?
- He ju... he lost his temper.

Who?

My husband.

You're saying your husband
attacked Alex Kerne?

You don't know what he was like,
that boy.

The way...

the way he drew people in,

the way he...

he played on their emotions.

Alex came to our house,

we were out at a...
at a friend's for dinner,

and the host was ill,

and then the party
was abandoned,

and we got home
unexpectedly... early.

And?

We found Alex in bed
with our daughter.

Maddie...

Sorry.

She was just
so obviously fragile...

and she always has been.

And Alex was smiling...

unrepentant, like he was...

like he was proud...

like he was challenging us.

No... no shame for what
he had done.

Do you think your husband
wanted to kill him?

No, God, no, no,
of course no, he...

he just wanted to warn him off.

He didn't want him seeing
her again.

So, he followed him home,
the same night.

Alex was cycling along
the farm track, and...

I tried to stop him, you know,

I knew what he was gonna do
and he...

he jumped out and attacked him.

And you saw it?

No, he... he said

the boy had been dealt with

and I put two and two together.

And Alex was warned to
stay silent

in case you withdrew
your investment

in his family's hotel?

No one but Alex knew
it was my husband.

Everyone...

everyone else assumed...

That Madelaine was responsible.

And you let them all
go on believing

it was your daughter.

You do realise
you're implicating your husband

in a violent crime?

He will be arrested.

Oh, he had nothing to do with
Alex's death.

He was in Snowdon.

It was a shooting weekend.

- Checks out.
- Really?

Mm, Hugh Larwood was in Snowdon
the whole weekend.

Balls.

Hugh beat him on the road, sure,

but he didn't attack him
down by the river.

- He's not our killer.
- Alright, okay.

So, well, we arrest him
for the first assault.

Yeah. And what about
the police sergeant

and the doctor?

Yeah, it's possible misconduct,

perverting the course
of justice.

Right.

Someone was with him.

The online booking.
Someone was there.

Mm.

Who is Adams?

Okay, a report from the lab.

- Took them a while, but...
- What?

Foreign DNA under Alex's
fingernails.

Lab got a match.

- Tammy Goodrum.
- Mm-hmm.

That's the girl who works
at the hotel.

Right little scrapper,
our Tammy.

Got in a serious fight
when she was 16.

Maybe she fought with Alex?

Right,
Let's bring her in.

Call from the hotel.

Apparently one
of their staff's gone missing.

Don't tell me...

Tammy Goodrum.

She took cash, too.

Right, we need to find her.

Can you put out a description?

Already have.

Good man.

What can I get you?

Two coffees, please.

Hey.

Get off. Get off!
Leave me alone.

Leave me alone. Get off.

Keira?

They've found Tammy.

Police picked her up.

Said she had cash on her.

Jeez.

Hmm.

Do you know why she took it?

Where she was going?

No.

None, sorry.

What you looking at?

A photo online.

Some... somebody posted
a picture of what happened.

Oh, God. Keira, no.

What the hell?
Who took that?

It don't matter.

What matters
is what he's wearing.

Surely you recognise it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, Tammy...
there's an awful lot of people

who were quite worried
about you.

I just needed to get away.

Okay, then what was
the money for?

I'm pregnant.

- Ah.
-I'm going to Norwich.

There is a place where they can
deal with it, a clinic.

He said he'd pay but...

...now I'm on my own.

He?

The father.

Alex?

We didn't want Maddie
finding out.

Did anyone else know?

What about your family?

They're down in Thetford.

The Kernes took me in.

Tammy...

one of the possible motives

for Alex's murder was jealousy.

He was seeing other girls.

Did you have a fight with him
just before he died?

You think I killed him.

You think it was me?!

Sir?

Just...

- Yeah?
- Mother of the victim.

Urgent, she says.

- It isn't his.
- What?

This fleece,
in the photo isn't his.

Perhaps he borrowed it?

There's something wrong,
it doesn't make any sense.

Why would he go out
in someone else's outfit?

Please, I...

I need you to find out

where this fleece comes from.

Okay. Well,
there's a batch code.

We might be able to find out

where it was purchased.

I'll get the details sent over.

Tony, what is it?

You were asking about
that phone?

- Alex's?
- Mm-hmm.

We got a signal, again.

Only brief.

Someone's turned it on
just long enough.

Well, well.

So...

how's it going?

Are you close to an answer?

The deeper we delve,
the more complex it gets.

- Want a drink?
-No, no, thanks.

Official business.

Yeah.

I need to see the phone.

What phone?

You know the one
I'm talking about.

My guess, you found it
on the riverbank.

We were monitoring.

We traced the signal to
a mast near this cottage.

Not easy, 'cause, as you say,

the signal's intermittent.

I can come back with
a warrant if I have to.

You knew him?

I told you I knew him.

You knew his phone passcode.

That suggests you were close.

He was a subject.
A, err, a model who...

asked me to take some shots
with his phone

so he could keep them
as a memento.

And you didn't mention it.

Alright.

I was embarrassed.

I didn't wanna be involved.

So, you turned on the phone

to delete the messages
you had from him.

Then you remembered
the photographs.

So you turned it on again.

If he was your model,
where's the finished pictures?

I paid for his time,
like a professional.

Did you have an affair
with him as well?

You seriously think that
I would...

Spare me, please.

I'm beginning to get a picture
of who he was.

He was seeing multiple girls
in the village,

he made one of them pregnant,

what's to say he wasn't with you
as well?

Well? Was he?

I haven't...

been with anyone.

Not since my divorce.

He...

He had a slick routine.

He knew how to make people
fall for him.

I'm a college lecturer.

I'm someone in a position
of authority.

I...couldn't risk it
coming out.

And I should've told you
and I'm sorry.

You obstructed
a murder investigation.

You perverted the course
of justice.

I'm gonna need you to
come down to the station

for an interview...

tomorrow.

Oh...

Hey, Tony.
What you got for me?

The fleece.
Batch number on the label.

Those clothes were very old.

More than 20 years.

Night.

Morning.

Good morning.

I'll leave you to it.

Let me show you something?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

That fleece
that Alex Kerne was wearing.

- What?
- Okay.

His mother said
it wasn't his.

I got Bekele to trace
the batch number.

That thing is 20 years old.

Why was he wearing
an old outfit?

Right, okay.

And then why was she in
such a panic about it?

Why did she ask us to
look into it?

And then you asked about
that death in the past,

the monument?

I looked up the old
coroner's report,

I should've done it sooner,

but that stuff with Madelaine...
Anyway, look.

That's the corpse
wearing the exact same clothes.

Jesus.

Jamie Parsons.

18 years old,
exactly the same age.

- Where was this taken?
- Lowenstall.

Died the exact same place.

Wearing the same garment.

Maybe these two deaths
are connected.

Yeah.

Jamie Parsons, a local kid.

Drowned in the river
late at night.

Says here he was drunk.

Right. Why would Alex Kerne
be wearing his clothes?

You're missing the point, Sir.

Well, why don't you explain it
to me then, Sergeant,

in that patronising tone
of voice?

Before Alex Kerne even went into
the water, right?

Yes.

Someone knocked him out,

ripped off his life vest,

put the old red fleece on him

and then pushed him
in the river to drown.

It's like... it's like
the murder,

the location, the clothes,

it's all kind of like
a restaging.

Well, thank you for...

clearing that up, Barbara.

What about family?

Did Jamie Parsons have any?

Err, mum died years ago.

The dad didn't live with them.

But he had form.

- Really?
- Yeah. Aggravated burglary.

And spent some time in prison
as well.

Oh, God.

What is it?

Jamie Parsons had a best friend.

Hey.

What's going on?
What's happened?

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Yeah.

We need to ask about
Jamie Parsons.

I realise this might be
hard, but...

can you tell us what you
remember about his death?

It was an accident.

It was tragic.
It was nobody's fault.

It's just...

We used to go down to
the riverbank as kids,

and go party.

And Jamie was my friend,
he was my...

my best friend in school.

We were 18.

We got drunk
and smoked some weed.

And I left him there...

...end of the night...

alone.

Maybe I shouldn't have.

But, erm, as I was leaving,

I saw him slip and fall
on the bank,

but I was too far gone
to do anything to help.

And that's the last time
I saw him.

He drowned?

Yeah.

Yeah, and they found his body
washed up on the riverbank

the next morning.

Exact same spot that Alex
was found?

Yeah.

The red fleece Alex
was wearing...

...we think it was Jamie's.

Sorry, what...?

You already knew?

I've been getting messages.

What messages?

Err...

Look, I didn't understand
them at first.

But...

that night I left him there,

we'd been playing cards
down by the river,

those are his.

The remnants of what was
left behind

the night he died,
they're his possessions.

Someone's been mailing them
back to me,

to remind me.

Why the hell didn't you tell us?

I...I don't know.

I just thought it was
a cruel trick.

Someone making mischief.

But then when Della
showed me the photograph

of what Alex was wearing
when he died...

And that's when you realised...

...it's all connected.

Yeah.

Somebody blames him.

When Jamie Parsons died,

Ben Kerne was the last one
to see him.

Uh-huh.

Someone thinks he abandoned him.

Left him there to die.

Sir?

Inquest into
Jamie Parsons's death.

His father, Dave, was present,
made a bunch of accusations,

accused Ben Kerne
of being culpable.

And where is he now?

Released into the care of
the probation services.

But no one has any trace of him
after that.

He came back to where
it happened.

We need to find him.

I seen you before.

Ah, I...I work at
the building site.

You okay?

Look a bit... down.

Just, erm, just waiting
for someone.

He asked me to meet him here.

Look, would you mind
leaving me alone?

Is this the fella?

Okay.
So, we go door to door.

Check if anyone's seen him.

Get Athill to meet us.

I...I...

I don't understand.

It's my son, Jamie.

I, I'm supposed to be
meeting him here.

He's dead.

Died years ago.

They built that for him.

- Della?
- Yes?

- This guy...
- What?

Have you seen him?

It's Dave Parsons,
Jamie Parsons' dad.

I never met him.

He went to prison when Jamie was
just a little kid.

What's happening?

It's Dave Parsons, he's here.

We think he's the one who
killed Alex.

- God.
- He's come back to hurt us.

Where's Keira?

Keira?

Where is she? Keira?

Does anyone know
her laptop password?

Oh...

Oh, my God,
that's Jamie, that is.

It's a chat room.

She's been talking to someone
pretending to be him.

Those messages were from you?

Jamie's mum died when...

I was inside.

I always thought I'd get back
with her.

It's what kept me going
when I was in prison, the...

the thought of it, but...

sadly, it never happened.

Now these feelings of grief,

they stirred up in me
and then...

I saw your father.

Err, what, what do you mean?
Where?

In the newspaper.

Massive investment
in his business.

Big relaunch.

Perfect family, perfect life.

In exactly the same spot...

...where my son was killed.

Didn't seem fair.

Jamie was good mates
with your dad.

I don't think my dad ever
mentioned him.

No, well, he wouldn't.
Too painful, I guess.

What do you mean?

Keira. Keira. Keira.

Keira!

Jamie drowned.

Your dad could've saved him.

Your dad...

...is responsible
for my son's death.

Oh, my God.

You're the one that killed Alex.

Oh!

Keira. Keira, no.

Ben. Oh, I've been waiting
to see you.

Please, please don't touch her,
don't hurt her, please.

Oh, I like the way that sounds.

Say it some more,
I like it when you beg me.

She's not involved in this.

I want you to remember,

remember exactly
what happened here.

Oh, I do, I do, I remember,
please. Please.

Before you start celebrating...

...building your fancy
new hotel,

I wanna remind you on whose
remains it was built on.

Dave, don't, please...

Please, let her go.

Please, you...

you don't know the whole story.

You don't know everything.

Ah, no, you're bullshitting me.

Jamie and I, we were together.

We had a fling...

when I was with Ben.

- It was just one summer...
- Oh, so what?

Alex, he wasn't Ben's son.

He was Jamie's.

He was your grandson, Dave.

What?

- No.
- Yeah.

Oh... please, God.

For God's sake, no.

Don't say that.

For God's sake that...

that can't be true.

Dave Parsons,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the murder
of Alex Kerne.

What happened, Dave?

You want to tell us.

I know you wanna tell us.

You waived your right to
a solicitor.

The drain plug,

the life jacket.

I mean, you were barely even
trying to hide

what you were doing.

I waited.

I watched his son... Alex.

Watched him every day, kayaking.

It was easy.

Made an arrangement to see him,

made an appointment.

Knocked him out with a paddle.

Stripped the life vest off him.

Put him in the fleece.

Put him in the boat and pushed
him out onto the water.

It was easy.

I didn't know,

I didn't... realise...

He... He looked like Jamie.

I...I didn't, didn't see it.

He admits it, killing Alex.

And if we hadn't got there
when we did,

he might've killed Keira, too.

He says what happened to Jamie
was no accident.

He says you left him there
deliberately.

Turned your back on him.

Della and Jamie had
a fling that summer.

And you knew.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I was angry.

And I walked away from him.

But I didn't know he would
die there, how could I?

Della was pregnant by Jamie.

I did the decent thing,
and I stood by her.

Did Alex know? Did you tell him?

Yeah.

But I should've told him
years ago.

I left it too late.

After that, he didn't stop
going on about it.

The last thing he said to me
was in anger.

He called me weak.

Those were
the last words I remember

hearing from him.

Erm... good result.

Well done, both of you.

Christ, did he really
just say that?

Through gritted teeth but, yeah,

I think you heard him right.

Maybe we should ask him
back here,

get him to repeat it.

You alright?

Yeah.

No, it's just that...

that family.

They let so much time go by.

Too many secrets.

Too many regrets.

You're a bleeding heart.

I never realised.

Mum, it's me.

Is Dad around?
