Whatever I've done, I understand the reserve to be punished.

Mel wasn't in his attic bedroom the night that Shan Hinton's body got moved

the bunker, Rick.

He was sleeping downstairs in a box room with a window.

The evidence that I gave... Keep your voice down. Look, I can't be sure of

I saw that night. Don't for one second think we got the wrong man.

I have new information about the past.

When you go rogue and shut me out, it feels like you don't trust me.

Rick, go make the arrest.

With pleasure.

That was Harvey's lawyer.

Harvey's asked to speak to me tomorrow. He says he wants to tell the truth about

the past.

I'm not worth terrorized by him and in all of him.

Classic Stockholm syndrome.

Rick's phone. Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Hi, Rick.

I missed you.

Hope you got there safely.

Give me a call when you can.

Never ending circle of love.

I can't sleep.

Everything okay?

Mm -hmm.

Do you like the unload?

Yeah.

Okay, thank you for letting me know.

What is it?

Mal's dead.

Suicide.

I'm sorry, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding.

I said I'd talk to Theon, not you.

The organ grinder, so to speak.

Well, the thing is, you don't get to call the shots, do you, Paul?

Then I won't talk at all.

Up to you.

Well, then this has been a completely wasted journey.

You coming?

Won't be long.

two of us.

It's a shame about Robbie, Mel, but hey, we mustn't blame ourselves.

He was always a messed up kid.

wearing a wedding ring.

Monkey was.

What's the story?

Last I heard, you were heading off into the sunset together.

So what is it that you want to talk about, Paul?

You're looking good, Fiona.

If a little time. I'm not here to talk about myself.

Oh, please. I am so starved of gossip in here.

Why are you being so cagey about your private life? If you don't get to the

point, I'll be heading out myself. No, please don't go.

It's been too long.

Then I'll ask again.

Why are you getting in touch after all this time?

I want to talk about the night Sean Henson's body was dumped in the woods.

Hi, hello.

Sorry I was going to call you. Don't you love me?

Why didn't you answer your phone all night?

I was, um, strategizing.

What's one word for it?

Look, I was in the bar. I was late.

I didn't see your missed call until this morning. I'm sorry.

Fuck you, Rick.

As I told you, I'd been home that night.

I'd been interviewed by you and your fiancée earlier that morning. Yes,

yes. Which put me in a bad mood.

You were amateurs, clutching straws.

When I went home, Robbie was being a nightmare, so I ended up locking him in

room. But it wasn't his bedroom, it was a box room downstairs.

Why? Why?

Well, I...

I wanted some peace.

And the walls were thick.

And there was nothing in there that could have harmed him. Oh, that's all

then.

Do you have kids, Fionn?

No, I thought not.

You have this defensive edge about you.

Kids, they teach you how to love.

We were asking you about Mary Quinlan that day.

The nurse.

who were reported due to social services because there were multiple bruises,

new and old, found on Mel, Robbie's body, and he had broken ribs.

Yeah, well, Robbie was accident -prone.

And he self -harmed.

He threw himself down the stairs.

He wasn't alone in this room.

Alice sang to him from outside the door all night.

Like a cat wailing, bless her, so I had to wear headphones.

To watch TV. So neither of us would have known if he snuck out.

He had keys to my van on his heart, not key ring, which he carried with him all

the time.

He was obsessed with that bloody key ring.

Well, the way I see it, his suicide's an admission of guilt.

The publicity will die down soon enough and we can all move on.

How are we getting on?

Scarf's been sent to forensic, sir.

Good. Let's hope we get the right result.

Where are Fionn and Rick?

I can't help thinking about the timing.

How convenient it is with Abby Rayner's murder.

Why would you tell me this about Robbie now?

It was because of Abby Ray and his murder that I felt obliged to come

The guilt I felt.

But this could have been used 12 years ago in your defence.

Except my wife stitched me up.

And it suited you all to believe her. And why would she do that, Paul?

To escape being abused by you?

She's still lying, isn't she?

As a childless woman, Fiona, you have no idea the length the father will go to

in order to protect his son.

Robbie was your foster child.

All the same, I loved him. There was nothing I wouldn't have done for my boy.

Nothing. Well, then what's changed?

Why are you grasping him up now?

I saw him on the news after the shooting.

And I realize how evil, how dangerous he'd become.

Where the hell are you both?

Fionn's not answering.

HMP Whitehaven, sir.

We found out about Mello in suicide, so we drove here to make sure that Harvey

had nothing to do with it.

So what did you find out?

Well, they followed protocol, sir. Mello was kept on the VP wing.

Harvey had no access to him.

Affirm call.

You haven't talked to Harvey about the past, have you?

Opened a can of worms?

Oh, no, sir. We just about head back now.

Glad to hear it.

This isn't an official interview. The investigation hasn't been reopened. I

wanted to hear you out.

Thank you for giving me your version of events.

It's the truth, Theon.

There's more.

When Marie Quinlan came to my house to check on Robbie, she left on foot.

That's what you alleged, yeah, and that you left in your van ten minutes later.

To get groceries.

So you said.

I bought the groceries, and half an hour later I got home, and I found Robbie in

the kitchen, distressed.

Mud on his boots.

Incoherent.

Anna didn't mention that.

No, Anna was bleeding in the bath.

I calmed him down and I sent him for a shower. Now then, I can only presume

he went to the woods.

He loved exploring the bunkers.

You're saying that Robbie followed and strangled Mary Quinlan?

And hid her body in the bunker.

I had no idea until they found her body in the woods the next day.

And you said nothing?

Not so I don't know.

Robbie was the son Anna never had.

And why would Robbie kill Mary Quinlan?

Well, he didn't want her to take him away from her.

It's ironic, really, isn't it? How, in trying to save his life, both nurses

signed their own death warrant.

You think that Robbie killed John Hinton, too?

Did you kill together, Paul? Were you a father and son team?

No.

Time's up, Rick.

Hey.

What's wrong?

He's denying that he killed both nurses.

He's just taking the piss.

Yeah, well, he was pretty persuasive.

Why have we got the wrong man?

Yeah, it should never have happened. I know.

No, that's not what I was... But... Well, no, of course.

But what I was going to say was... Don't tell Vaughan that you've spoken to

Harvey about the historic murders.

He'll just go ape.

He doesn't want that case reopened any more than I do. All the town does.

I mean, Harvey's just got into your head.

But he killed both Mary Quinlan and Sian Hinton.

Okay, but if Mel Owen killed Abby, he could have killed before.

He's only pinning the historic murders on Mel because he can't be questioned.

It's opportunistic.

And Alex placed Harvey behind the wheel, remember?

You going to tell Helen what happened?

What? No.

It's between us.

Sorry, sir. It was a hell of a journey.

What is it?

No trace of Mal's DNA on the scarf.

So he strangled Abby and took the scarf back to the den without any trace of

DNA? Did he clean it?

No.

Abby's DNA is on it.

And another person.

Well, Helen did give the scarf to her, so we need to do a buccal swab just to

eliminate her DNA.

We've still got Arby's killer.

Okay, well, I'm going to check through Mel's belongings from the den, see if he

had any gloves.

I could do it.

No, it's okay.

I'd rather do it.

Well, I'll go and do Helen's stuff.

Life's never bloody simple, is it?

Why don't you go in? Have a minute?

Thank you.

So, why are you door -stepping me after all this time?

I'm really sorry, Alex.

But I'd like to go back over your witness statement from the night Sian's

was moved from the bunker where she was found in the woods. Why?

We'll get to that.

You were driving on the main road west of the woods.

What time?

It was about 10pm.

And what did you see?

I'll tell you what I didn't see.

There was any fucking police presence, that's what.

We had no idea that Sian was being held in the bunker at that time.

I saw a black Vauxhall Astra van pull out of the side lane onto the road in

front of me.

The driver looked in my direction and sped off ahead of me.

I didn't see the number plate, but I called it in.

And did you see who was driving?

I said so at the time, didn't I?

Well, not straight away.

It was Paul Harvey.

Who you placed at the wheel after his arrest.

Because I recognised him at the ID parade. I remembered his face.

You sure about that?

We have reason to believe that someone else was driving Paul Harvey's van on

night in question, which means he had an accomplice.

And that person was in on Sian's murder.

Beyond any joy?

Fearless me, where are you? Phone me back.

You mean someone who helped kill my wife is still out there?

Alex, is there any chance that that man could have been the driver?

Bear in mind, he was 17 at the time and wearing a baseball cap.

I recognize him from somewhere. He's the gunman from the school.

He's also the man who killed Abby Rayner.

Jesus.

Jesus.

Alex, are you sure it was Harvey at the wheel of his van? It was dark, you know.

Could you have made a mistake?

It wasn't my idea.

I said I didn't see the driver. I told him.

Told who, Alex?

Why did you tell us it was Harvey at the wheel? Did someone put pressure on you

to say that?

It's not your fault, Alex, if you were leaned on when you were vulnerable. Who

told you to say that it was Harvey? It was Rick.

He said I had to if I wanted justice for Sean.

I've been trying to get a hold of you. Where have you been?

We need to talk.

You're not going to tell Helen, are you?

Fionn.

Not at the station.

Okay, where? Where?

And just to be clear, Rick, what happened last night will never happen

What are you doing here?

Eating humble pie.

But it's still a picnic outside with my lovely wife.

I'm sorry about last night.

I was obsessed and you know what I'm like.

Let me make it up to you, please.

Come on, eat fruit.

You're lucky I'm on a break.

Oh, look at all. I phoned ahead and checked.

Always a smooth operator.

What worries me?

You're not forgiven just yet.

These sandwiches better be M &S.

Let me take a statement and then I'll run you to the hospital.

I was hoovering.

Who knows who threw it?

Vigilantes who think the killer's copying Paul from nutters.

Who think Paul's innocent because of the appeal. Either way, they come for me.

I'm always the one who's punished.

And now, poor Robbie.

How will he survive prison?

I read about the charges online.

What's wrong?

I'm so sorry, Anna.

Robbie died last night.

How?

He hanged himself.

That kind of kills the romance.

I try, and I try, Rick.

I just can't help but feel threatened.

There's no need.

You're engaged, for God's sake.

Yeah, and I'm with you.

You're used to me.

We're 12 years down the line.

I'm not exciting anymore.

Yes, you are.

Who needs excitement anyway?

Theon isn't exciting, Helen. She's a thorn in my side, if anything.

I know you better than anyone.

Something's on your mind.

Did anything happen between you lot, mate?

We had an argument.

She's insisting that Harvey didn't act alone.

That Mel Owen was involved. Rick.

Rick. Griff.

Oh, long time.

Oh, hi. I'm Rick.

This is Helen.

Jamie Griff's friend.

He doesn't like the word carer.

He had an MRI scan, said he wanted some fresh air.

Horrible things, those scammers.

What are you doing?

Having lunch with another woman?

No, Griff, this is Helen, my wife.

And my daughter now.

Do you know they're engaged?

I'm sorry.

Come on, let's head back to the car.

You cheating bastard!

Come on, Griff.

Sorry.

We can't escape her, can we?

How could the guards have let him hang himself?

Did they decide he was guilty and turn a blind eye?

It's more likely he did it out of guilt, Anna.

I still don't believe he killed Abby Rayner.

Nor my Robbie.

The night Marie Quinlan came to your home to see Robbie, Paul said she left

foot.

Yeah.

And then I went to have a bath, and I heard Paul's van leave not long after.

How long were you in the bath?

Um, about an hour, I'd imagine.

And when you got out?

Paul went back with food.

And Robbie?

He was in the shower.

I talked to Paul this morning.

He told me that Robbie had been out to the woods while you were in the bath,

that he had mud on his boots, and that he was very agitated about something.

No, he's trying to blame it all on my son.

He's lying, Fiona.

Well, that's enough to be a shit show.

Helen.

You know I wouldn't be without you and the kids.

For all the world.

Tell you what.

Why don't I pack off the kids to mum's tonight?

Cook us a nice meal.

Take your mind off all this crap at work.

Yeah. That'd be lovely, thanks.

We'll get through this.

Together.

Yeah.

No, no, no.

You've done enough. Thank you.

I could have driven myself.

No, you're too shaken up, Anna.

If Paul gets out, he'll come to me.

Promise me his conviviality.

Look,

I don't want you to worry, Anna.

You won't get out.

Why here, of all places?

It's where we got engaged.

How could I forget?

It's where we promised each other that we'd be together forever.

After our initials. Look.

What young fools we were.

Not so young.

And here you are, fucking me over again.

Is this about last night's film?

We slept together.

I didn't instigate it.

You didn't exactly complain.

I'm not going to hurt Ellen.

Oh, I know. Your endless messages have told me that much. She's here.

My kids are here.

And I love her.

What if I stay, then, Rick?

What if I don't just conveniently disappear like last time? What if I

there's unfinished business here?

I don't know.

I'm not talking about you, me and Helen. That sorry love triangle is old fucking

news. I'm talking about the Harvey murders.

I know, Rick.

That you told Alex to lie and place Harvey at the wheel the night that Sean

Hinton's body was dumped.

Don't want that.

What the fuck were you thinking?

I was thinking that Harvey is the killer and we were losing him. He had an

answer for everything and we just needed to put him away.

Yeah, but if Mel was driving that van, Rick, if Mel was a part of Sean Hinton's

murder and we found that out back then, Abby would still be alive. Oh, fuck you!

Harvey's evil!

Look at the way he tortured Mel and his wife.

And when we found Sean and I had to tell Alex, my friend, that the mother of his

child was...

It wasn't just you that was affected, Fiona. You made your friend lie in his

wife's murder trial.

Both of you confided to pervert the cause of justice. We had to move quick

case it happened again to another nurse.

And anyway, Mel might not even have killed Abby, so don't you tell me that

got her blood on my hands.

He'd met her.

He disliked her. How come her scarf was in his den? There was no DNA.

Maybe somebody else set him up. It's far more likely that he used gloves. And

it's pretty fucking low to argue Mel's innocence just to clear your own

conscience.

Yeah, it's just come through now.

Yeah, got it. Yeah, that's great. Thanks very much. Tap.

What have you got, boss?

Looks like Harvey had a phone stashed in his cell.

He's been communicating with someone.

I'll check his phone records now.

Are you going to say anything?

There'd be a retrial.

Harvey's conviction would be unsafe. He'd walk free, seek revenge on Anna.

You'd face a custodial sentence.

Oh, yeah? How much will I get? Ten years?

How could you lie to me?

Is that why you cheated on me?

Because you couldn't look me in the eye?

I thought I was losing it.

Did you sleep with me last night just to confuse me?

To distract me from my hunch about Mel?

Don't.

You came all the way to Worcester just to keep a fucking eye on me.

There's no wonder you were gutted when Harvey wanted to speak to me on my own.

That's not how it was.

You're weak.

And you're a liar.

You're acting like the local fucking hero when all you really are is a sham.

Are you gonna tell Vaughan?

It's been a new development.

Harvey was receiving texts from someone who signed themselves J.

J first got in touch with Harvey via letter about four months ago.

Harvey then sent a text back, top of the first page.

Thanks for your letter and phone number. I appreciate you getting in touch,

Paul. Jay then texts back saying that he feels to hear from him. Harvey replied

with a thumbs up.

Then on the next page, on the 3rd of October, Jay requests a visit. Harvey

replies, let me check my diary.

Smiley face.

I ask the guard to check the visitor records.

Harvey had a visit from a man named John Shaw on the 17th of October.

That's when the texts get dark.

Bottom of page two there, sir.

The part that excites me the most is the build -up.

choosing her, stalking her, spending time with her, smelling her fear.

What a sicko.

Harvey doesn't respond to that.

Then on page three... That moment when she surrenders to the idea that she

get out of this alive, and I have all the power and all her attention.

John Shaw then asks if he can visit Harvey again. Harvey said that he

think it's a good idea.

And then on the next page, on the length of November... The day after Harvey's

murder?

Yeah. Harvey texts John Shaw to say, I heard about the nurse, and John Shaw

replied, she deserved it.

No, fuck's sake.

Harvey responded then, don't contact me again.

Then there's a couple of texts from John Shaw wishing Harvey good luck with the

appeal.

The radio silence from Harvey up until this morning, LEM 13.

It's safe now.

What's that supposed to mean? Why is John Shaw now safe?

Is he referring to Mel's death?

that Mel will be accused of killing Abby, therefore John Shaw is safe. We

be looking into this John Shaw. Some perverted fanboy was the point.

Rick, do you have any doubt that Mel Owen killed Abby Rayner?

Well, we're talking about a man who doesn't think twice about shooting a

sir, aren't we?

But pertaining to this case, Mel was drunk.

He was the last man to see Abby Rayner alive.

She pissed him off.

And a scarf was found in his den.

So all the evidence points at Mallow Inn.

Doesn't it?

Exactly.

Maybe.

But I want to know who this John Shaw is. I want to speak to him, just in case

he's planning on following in Harvey's footsteps.

Kellen, call Whitehaven, see if they've got any CCTV footage of the day that he

visited, and check the address that that visiting order was sent to.

Is there anything else?

I've got to go.

Keep me updated.

But I... Can't go to work in my pyjamas.

Why are we having casserole for breakfast?

For the hell of it, Dad.

Is it tasty?

Oh, yes.

Well, shut up and eat.

Better do as I'm told.

I would if I were you.

You'll be in the oven, love.

We couldn't wait.

I didn't realise the time, sorry.

Busy day?

You look done in.

I thought it was all wrapped up. It was about Trump that did it, wasn't it?

Yeah, I mean, I wish it was that simple.

Is Rick with you?

Oh, my God.

Rick and I finished 12 years ago.

How many times?

Lisa and I went on a dementia workshop today.

This is best not to challenge his version of reality.

It only upsets him more.

He's aware he's failing.

He loves.

And he's a proud man.

Sorry for nothing, you dad.

It's gone, all about it.

I don't blame you, Phil.

I'm no use to anyone anymore.

Yes, you are.

I need you.

I'll leave you to it.

What's up, love?

Difficult case.

Well,

this is all very nice, Rick.

But I presume you wanted something.

The historical Hartnott murders, sir.

I...

I

instructed a witness to give false evidence,

sir.

And now there's a new potential suspect in the mix.

Some fanboy of Harvey's called John Shaw.

And there's some doubts about the historic murder.

Whether Harvey was acting alone or he killed the nurses at all, even.

We can't afford to fuck up like this, Rick.

It'll ruin us if it gets out.

And Alex Hinton has already squealed.

I know. I'm sorry.

Let me talk to Fionn.

You're one of the best, Rick.

But I have no choice but to suspend you from duty until further notice.

I need to work out what to do.

Like my whole world has been thrown upside down.

And I can't even trust my own memories anymore.

I know the feeling.

up with Rick.

But I didn't know then what I know now.

Hey.

Hey.

Look at me.

What are you afraid of, love?

Someone else is going to die.

No. Leon!

It's getting cold now.

Jamie! Is that what you've got? I think they're okay now. I just wanted to make

sure.

Night, Del.

Good night, love.

And thank you.

Again.

Alright. You lost keys again.

Can I help you?
