D .C. Diane Fry, welcome to Edendale.

You met D .C. Ben Cooper, thickeningly
overqualified, and yet she willingly

swapped the bright lights of Leeds for
Edendale. Yeah, but why?

Joe Cooper was found beside his car,
beaten to death.

It's been five years, and we're still no
closer to solving it. And I feel like

I'm letting him down.

All you need to know is I was seeing a
guy in Leeds, it got messy, moved here,

the end.

Sorry, Dad.

I've got to stop.

In times like these, they expect us to
buckle, to fall, to give in.

But that ain't the way the border wraps.

Ain't the way it widens neither.

Never will be.

They think they can bully us.

They think they can push us around.

They think we won't stand up for
ourselves.

They couldn't be more wrong.

We're in a fight.

A war.

Not only to save a village, but to
honour the past and protect our future.

And I'm here to tell you that if and
when third war to come for us,

Or anyone else for that matter.

Then we'll unleash the rats.

And they'll chew the flesh.

From anyone.

Anyone. That dares challenge us.

And if we go down.

We go down fighting.

I'm just here.

Give us a call back.

Alright,

okay, it's the boiler, the pressure's
gone. It does it all the time, I'll sort

it. How long's it gonna take?

Give me a minute.

I made breakfast, out of the tub.

I'm actually a coffee and go girl.

Oh, oh, oh.

Hang on to that before I forget.

Keys to the kingdom.

Don't lose them.

Hitchin'. Do you recall?

Okay, what do we have here?

Who's that behind us?

Someone's in the rock.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, here I'm, eh? Hey!

Slow down, mate!

Hey, stop!

Stop! Stop!

Whoa!

What are you playing at? You nearly
drove into a crime scene.

I did. I didn't realise.

What, you didn't see the police or the
tape?

What's your name?

I'll just turn around.

No, no, no, name, please. It's Hebden,
Michael Hebden. What are you doing up

here, Mr Hebden?

I'm on my way home from work. I thought
I'd take a shortcut.

Where do you work, Michael?

What does that matter? Just answer the
question.

Up at Perth Water, the water company at
Hope Valley.

What's going on up here?

I'll tell you what's going on.

You're going to turn around and you're
going to use the road like a normal

person. Go on.

Go on.

Are you kidding?

They should be out in the sticks now,
Diane. Roads are just a suggestion.

She always gets here before. How does
she even do it? I don't know.

Dr Taylor!

Hello.

A dog walker found him about an hour
ago.

Any idea?

Cheers.

Neil Goodwin, 23 years old with a...
Time of death.

As usual, the best I can offer is a
rough estimate.

Judging from the pallor and the rigour,
I'm pretty sure he's been here all

night. Any murder weapon?

TBC. But whatever it was, it was hard
enough to shatter his skull.

This is Neil's house.

He's obviously a very passionate man.

Clearly not a famous reporter.

Door's open.

Right, do you want to tell me why a
vicar is running from the police, Pop?

What are you playing at?

I'm sorry.

I'm Derek Alton.

I'm the reverend at St Asaph.

What are you doing in Neil Goodwin's
house?

I thought I saw someone in here.

I'm sorry I rang. You startled me.

You didn't think it was Neil?

Well, his car's not outside, so I got a
bit worried.

Sorry, but something happened.

I'm afraid Neil was found dead this
morning.

What?

I only saw him yesterday.

How? I mean, that can't be right.

Unfortunately, it's true.

Did you know Neil well, Mr Alton?

Um, no.

Not especially.

But you saw him yesterday.

What time was that?

Maybe around 4pm.

I had an online meeting with my previous
parish and Neil, he popped in today

to nip off to see someone.

Popped in from where?

The church grounds.

He had recently started working as the
caretaker. He came highly recommended.

Always happy to help, apparently.

He didn't mention who he was going to
see, did he?

No.

Not to me, he didn't. Sorry.

May I go now, please?

This is quite a lot to process.

Thank you for your help.

If you have any more questions, we'll be
in touch.

Derek.

Lucas, what are you doing here?

I was looking for Neil.

Is he about?

This is Lucas Oxley, a neighbour of
Neil's.

You're not going to believe this, but...

Neil has... I'm afraid Neil's body was
discovered this morning.

Really?

I thought you were talking to him
yesterday.

When was this?

Early evening.

Would you be a bit more specific?

Do I know you?

Not to my knowledge, no.

I was around six.

I was outside a pub having a smoke.

What pub?

Only one problem, do you?

The fatted calf.

Neil and I had a chat.

I went back inside.

Did he say where he was going to next?

I didn't ask.

We should do a remembrance for him.

Seeing as much as we all liked him.

What was wrong with him? Did you see how
he was looking at you?

Oh, I don't know what that was all
about.

Shall we have a look around?

Yeah, let's.

Is that what I think it is?

Oh, well.

Got it in one.

Let's have a look.

Bit random.

Why would someone have a well in their
garden?

Well, you never know until you look.

Can't see anything.

No, there's nothing.

Word for try.

I'll take a proper look inside Neil's
house.

Quality stuff, this.

You know about antiques?

No. Every Sunday night I had a bath for
jam butter in the Antiques Roadshow

without fail.

What old kids grew up with that. Take a
look at this.

Thank you.

What are these?

Whoa, look at these.

Looks like Neil has been blackmailed.

Repent or die.

Judgment is coming.

The rats will eat you alive.

Death is watching you.

The hell is that?

Dale Goodwin, 23 years of age, died from
blood force trauma to the head.

He was last seen alive outside the
Plattencalf pub in Wyndham yesterday

6pm. Two hours later, he was found dead
in a local quarry. And what we need to

do is account for those two hours.

Tracey, can you see where that lettering
might have come from? Yep, yep, will

do, sir.

Ben, Diane, you spoke with Derek Alton,
the vicar.

Yeah, it was a bit skittish, wasn't it?

Mm, my bad.

Uh, we also saw someone dressed up.

Like a rat -like creature with a weird
mask on.

Yeah, bizarre.

A rat! Yeah, yeah, and whoever it was,
whatever it was, was stood directly

outside Neil's house and then just
disappeared into thin air.

Listen, can we put that on hold for a
moment? No -one's going to ask me why

a few minutes late.

Why are you a few minutes late?

Yeah, thanks.

I've been digging up some more case
files.

And?

Seriously? Everybody forgotten Emma
Runshaw?

Anyone going to fill me in?

It's your case, Dodd.

Right.

Emma Runshaw, only daughter of Howard
and Sarah Runshaw. Five years ago, she

going to see her boyfriend in
Birmingham.

Never arrived.

Disappeared en route. Now, have a little
guess.

What boyfriend was?

Neil Goodwin.

Bingo.

Anyway. Last night, I saw them within a
tiny amulet in between Eatondale and

Birmingham. No witnesses, no CCTV, a
phone were dead, and her parents are

convinced it's all down to Neil Goodwin.

You two are definitely going back to
with it.

I'm going to pay the rune swords a
visit.

Oh, mate, mate, don't forget tonight.
We're paying due reverence, yeah?

Yes.

Is that about?

Well, on this very day.

Back in 1972, Derby County won what was
the old First Division.

It's a big deal.

Mrs. Runshaw?

Yeah? DC Ben Cooper, this is DC Fry.

Can we come in and have a chat, please?

Yeah. Come in.

Thank you. I knew you'd be round.

I said to Howard, I said, I'll be the
first door they knock on.

I mean, when we found out Neil was
murdered.

Mrs. Runshaw.

Can we ask where you was yesterday
evening?

Sat in the watching box with Howard.

Is your husband around?

Upstairs.

Can you shut him down?

Howard!

Police are here.

They think we've done away with Neil
Goodwin.

Sorry.

Just getting things ready for Emma Day.

We like to commemorate her each year
since she's gone missing.

Where? Putting photos and artwork on
display in the local church.

So the village can remember her.

Feel like she's never been away.

We were just establishing your
whereabouts last night, Mr. Runshaw.

I told him we were watching Tally.

Which we were.

Right. Can you tell us when either of
you last saw Neil Goodwin?

Can't remember.

Sarah?

Don't ask me.

We avoided him like the plague.

You still blame him for the
disappearance of Emma five years later?

have been all right, make no mistake.

Well, according to our records, he had a
solid alibi the day Emma disappeared.

That was a pack of lies.

He took her from us.

No doubt there's a reason you're saying
that, Mrs. Runshaw.

He was controlling Emma.

By the time we realized it was too late,
we challenged him, but she just

vanished.

He's had a hold -up somewhere or to
himself, I know it.

But Neil came back to Wytham to live,
and I begged and begged him to tell us

where she was.

She just said that you both avoided him
like the plague, so which one is it?

Go smart one here, Sarah.

Better watch our step.

One here ever said to us that we should
forget about Emma and move on?

If you knew what I went through bringing
her into this world, I almost died

giving birth.

But I fought with all I had because I
was going to be her mum.

And he thought we should just move on.

Listen, let's park Emma for now. She's
not the reason we came here.

Well, you're the one who's bringing her
up.

It's like you lot have forgotten all
about her.

No one calls us. There are no updates.

Nothing.

Okay, like my colleague said... Five
years and we're no closer to getting her

back. We're dying with this woody great
hole in our lives. If there's time, I'll

try and follow it up. I'm not making any
promises, but can we get back to

talking about Neil, please?

Did you hear that, love?

She's going to find Emma.

No, I never said that.

Take these.

Get to know our beautiful daughter. Then
you'll see why Neil wanted her all to

himself.

Right, Neil Goodwin's life. In a
nutshell, we've got bank statements,

bills, I mean, you name it.

Thank you. All right.

Soccer will have been through that.

Yeah, but I haven't.

Are they in Owen Shaw's diaries?

Yeah, Howard Brunchoff gave me them.

Yeah, no, waste of time.

Nothing but the clichéd agonies of every
teenager you've ever met.

I've done a bit of a deep dive on Neil.

So, it appears like he never had a full
-time job, but did lots of cash -in

-hand work.

Dearest and dearest?

Yeah, both parents killed in a car
crash.

He inherited the house, and his brother,
he emigrated to New Zealand.

Any previous?

Yeah, it was a public order in
Birmingham, outside of Nightclub

mean, other than that, he appears like
an angel.

Where did he stay, bro?

Tupton Lane. Yeah, I went there.

I was seeing if Emma was beneath the
floorboards.

There wasn't anything to get the stupid
parents off my back.

Any sign of his phone?

No, no. Service provider reckons it's
switched off, but they're going to send

over, like, call data and last cell site
when they have it.

And what about his car?

No, no sign of that either. OK, we are
going to broaden the search tomorrow.

Once we find the car, we find the phone.
Then, derby time. Let's go.

Chewie calls.

See you tomorrow. See you.

Oh, thought you were told to ignore
them.

Yeah, but looks like I'm home alone
tonight, so what else am I going to do?

Right.

Night -night.

Are you going to commit to the song?
Sure, for a second, right?

Go on, tell me this, right?

What's it like with the new flatmate?

Here we go.

No, yeah, it's... Yeah, it's fine, no
problems.

No, no.

I want to know what he's like outside of
Upper South, outside of those suits

that she wears, all and all.

I can't tell you what she's like if
you've only just arrived there, so I

give you any specifics.

Say, right, that you want to bring a
girl back home or you want to watch the

football or... No, no, right. Say you
want to walk around in your pants,

Right? The one thing that I've always
said that I will never give up is my

freedom.

My right to be me. God -given right,
yeah? And I follow that to the letter.

the letter, then, right? Otherwise,
looking, I'll never live.

It's not that deep.

It's not that deep. Anyway, I've got...

A house, mate, not an incurable disease.

You know what I mean? Well, I bloody
hope not, because I've been sipping from

your pint when you've been looking away.

Well, I've been spitting in yours, pal.

Mum, are you here?

Mum, I've brought you dinner.

Mother!

No need to shout, love.

I can smell you upstairs.

Hello. Hello, love.

It's way too late for dinner.

So, what are you really doing here?

Oh, straight to the point.

You should have been a cop a month.

No, actually, there is something I want
to ask you, because if anyone would

know, it would be you.

So, what do you know about rat -like
figures in Withams?

Oh.

I think you're talking about Satan's
version of Morris dancers.

Call themselves the Border Rats.

Yeah.

Why did they dress like that?

Well, it had to do with the workers who
died at the quarry at Wythens.

They collapsed in the 1880s.

Hundreds of them died.

And they were all found with their
fingers and toes and faces.

Chewed and even bitten clean off by
rats.

Wow. They ate the workers?

More than ate them. They absorbed them.

That company didn't care.

How many men died?

Just as long as their quarry could work
overtime.

So, the story is that the border rats
were formed to protect withins from

nonce.

Beware the rats, they will eat you
alive.

What was that?

Nothing, it's just a message I read.

Oh, Ben, be careful.

When the border rats feast, they eat
both body and soul.

Now, the phone was found in the brambles
on the path up to Mount Hor. They were

still waiting for forensics on the
blood, but fingerprints have confirmed

it is, in fact, Neil Goodwin's phone.

Now, it looks like Neil's killer grabbed
the phone and dumped it miles away.

So CCTV, traffic cams, the usual,
whatever they throw up. Yeah, I've

looked into the lettering found on the
prep fence to Neil, and it looks like

it's been cut out of a Bible.

We don't know which version yet, but
forensics are on it. OK.

Ben?

Ben?

Anything on the vicar?

Er, still digging into it, sir.

Keep looking.

Maybe next year, stick to the shanty.

Here you go.

Made it extra strong for you. Ah,
cheers.

Right, I, er, I spoke with my mum.

That thing we saw yesterday.

Apparently it's called a border rat.
It's like a Morris dancer, but a bit

vicious.

What?

I wanted to say this before. I promise,
I, um... I wasn't prying or snooping

around, but... I came across the stuff
you have on your dad's murder case.

I was just looking for a pen and then
I... It's all right, it's all right. It

led nowhere, so I'll box it all away.

Done that stuff belong here.

On file.

Well, just I'll find a second. I'll put
it all back. No one's going to know, are

they?

Before you do, I could take a look.

Fresh eyes.

No, no need.

I'm done with it, honest.

Thank you.

Right.

Derek Alden.

Let's get to know you properly, shall
we?

There he is.

In his old parish.

Nice church.

So, why did you transfer to Wythens?

Ben, you are thinking out loud.

Hang on.

St Maldon's is his old church, and
that's in Birmingham Eastside. Didn't

somebody mention Birmingham Eastside,
right?

Yeah, Tracy said Neil used to live there
when he was in Birmingham. Yeah, that's

it, that's it. So maybe him and Alton
knew each other from before.

No, he said he barely knew Neil.

We found him in Neil's home.

You don't believe that burglar crap he
came up with, do you?

I'm going to go pay him a visit.

See you in a bit. Bye.

That'd block the altar. I thought we
could do it off to one side.

We want her. Excuse me.

You got news on him already?

What have you found?

I'm actually here to see Reverend Old.

Sorry.

Reverend, could I have a word in
private, please?

Yes, of course.

This way.

Thank you.

I just wanted to chat to you about your
last church, St Maldon's. I'm OK sitting

here, aren't I?

Yes, of course.

What's that got to do with anything?

Did you know Neil lived in Eastside
while you were over there?

No, not at all.

Never came up between the two of you?

No. That's weird.

Never mentioned, he never asked you
where he transferred from, never told

that he shared a flat in Eastside?

We barely spoke.

I just thought I might have said
something impassive.

I was just... strange, I think. He
worked outside clearing the... I thought

would have bumped into him a bit. Maybe
had a chat about the past.

I had no reason to go out there.

And I've been too busy here with the
church.

I don't know.

I saw a picture of your old church. Very
nice.

And all this feels... kind of like a
demotion.

Well, a house of God is a house of God
wherever you go.

It's a nice Bible.

I couldn't have a look at that, could I?

Sorry, but I've had a few stolen
recently.

What I mean is people forget they've got
them and then they take them home.

I'm trying to hang on to the ones I've
got.

Bible for you, say.

You can give me some names of potential
suspects if you like.

I'd better get back to the run, Charles.

Fair enough.

I'll have a look round and then I'll be
on my way. Thank you.

Why would you need to do that?

You see, my old man was a copper too.

And he said to me, make sure you follow
every path.

I'll let myself out.

Thank you.

Sarge? What?

Take a look at this.

Huh. Looks like Neil was about to have a
big payday.

Come to repent?

Neil was selling to First Water.

It says Neil was selling his house and
moving out with him. How's that work?

He's got a bloody great big... protest
sign in his garden.

First Water must have convinced him to
sell.

That's where Michael Edgdon worked.

Nice recall.

Thank you. Shall we pay him a visit?

Yeah, let's do it. I'll see you down
there.

Yeah.

Neil was selling up, but...

I managed to talk him into it just over
a week ago.

Firthwater was delighted.

So what about all the signs in Neil's
garden? Because he was quite clearly

against Firthwater.

Well, Neil and I decided to keep the
sale between ourselves in case there

any recriminations.

What sort of recriminations?

Well, you must have felt the anger
around here. The village would be up in

They hate my guts as it is.

So what, they'd go after Neil? No, well,
he made sure they wouldn't.

The minute the money was in Neil's bank,
he was going to pack up and get the

hell away.

Mr Hebden, what exactly were
Firthwater's plans?

They're going to buy up Withins and then
flatten it.

There'll be a huge water refinery here
instead.

And hundreds of jobs will be created.
It's a good thing.

But wouldn't you lose your home?

Oh, I couldn't care less.

As soon as they make me an offer, I'm
taking Firthwater's coin and getting the

hell out.

Don't look like the rest of the village
is selling up any time soon.

Oh, they will.

The minute they hear that Neil's house
has been snapped up, it'll be like

dominoes. All it takes is one person to
throw in the towel and the rest will

follow, guaranteed.

Why did you seek out Neil in particular?

Well, that's because of the well in his
garden.

It's like a natural gateway to the
underground springs.

Getting that means that the Firth have
got withings by the ball, so to speak.

It's all just a matter of time now.

Do you think there's a chance that
someone could have found out about

plan because he was getting death
threats?

Oh, God, I never even considered that.

Can you think of anyone that would
threaten him?

Well, I don't know if I should say. I
mean, if that's what got Neil killed...

Hebden.

It didn't come from me.

But if anyone was sending threats, it'd
be Lucas Oxley.

That's the guy we met outside Neil's
house.

Well... Was there any animosity between
Neil and Lucas Oxley?

It's Lucas Oxley.

There's always going to be animosity.

So, Lucas Oxley.

Yeah, my dad arrested his son, Rowan, he
was called. That's probably why he was

looking at me like that. Saw some
resemblance.

He was into everything.

Robbery.

GBH handling stolen goods, you name it,
they were doing it.

It was actually his wife, Lily, who gave
my dad a tip -off about him. Apparently

he was always cheating on her, so she'd
had enough of him.

Word was she fled to Wales, but my dad
never believed it. He looked into it,

never found anything.

You know what I have to say?

I think I'm with Hedden.

I would take first offer, and I would
run with it.

No, but this is their home. You know
what I mean? Once these villages go,

they're gone forever, aren't they? And
for what?

A bottle of water in a supermarket?

If I lived here, I'd fight as well.

And kill?

It's looking like it, isn't it?

Hopefully finds out that Neil's selling
up.

Starts with a threat, he doesn't work,
so he escalates things to the next level

to set an example for anyone else
thinking of selling up.

Get this.

Hiya. DC Fry?

Yeah.

Thank you. No, I appreciate it. Thank
you.

Bye.

That was the hospital because I asked
them to dig out Emma Runshaw's medical

records. The diaries were pretty much as
Sarge said they were.

Until I noticed Brave Girl stickers on
some of the pages.

Like the type you get when you go to the
dentist as a kid.

Yep, or the hospital.

And now it's worked out that for every
sticker...

It matches up with a hospital visit.

Now, it was a lot of visits. Emma was in
and out of casualty right up until the

time she disappeared.

Maybe we should pay the Ronshaws another
visit.

I would still over at church.

Oh, that's OK.

We can do this for you, Mrs Ronshaw.

Well, how can I help you now?

We're concerned with the unusually high
number of hospital visits Emma had over

the years.

That's what you get for being a tomboy,
doing all the daft things that boys do.

Even at two years old.

Because the hospital told me that was
the first time she was admitted.

That's because she had that illness.

What's it called when you keep bumping
into things?

Dyspraxia.

That's right.

You are a bright one.

The first time it happened, we gave her
a dolly.

And it turned out to be a big mistake.

Why's that?

It became a thing.

She used to get a dolly every time she
went to hospital.

You know what kids are like.

Was Emma leaving home, Mrs. Runchell?

Whatever would make you think that?

Well, in our case notes, it said that
Emma left with a suitcase.

I mean, why would she do that if she was
just visiting Neil for a weekend?

Because that's what Neil told her to.

He was controlling her, he told you.

He told her to pack her suitcase, he
told her to get on the bus, and he told

he'd be waiting for her.

Waiting to take our precious daughter
away. Neil had an alibi for when Emma

disappeared, and yet you maintain he
took her.

It doesn't make sense.

It was a made -up alibi.

Why won't you listen?

Oh,

I'm going to slow down, man.

Sorry, mate.

So what are we thinking?

Let's say the ranchers did do something
to him, all right? Somehow he'll find

out. And they know that Neil knows.

So what? They do something to shut him
up?

It's something we definitely have to
follow up on. Yeah.

You want a coffee?

No, I'm OK, thank you. All right.

Who's that little fella?

Oh, um, it's nothing.

Want to talk about it?

It's nothing, and we've got work to do.
Well, it's obviously not nothing because

you've been jumping all week. Is that
your ex or something?

We are not doing this, and we are
definitely not doing this here.

What do you expect, right? Every time he
texts or calls you, you freeze him. You

obviously don't want to see him, yet
he's turning up here, dropping off gifts

for you.

Is he a nutter? It's fine.

You need to do the right thing and
report it. Leave it, Ben.

I've got this.

Trust me.

Yes, Dr Taylor.

Yes.

Sir, we've identified the splinters in
Neil's headroom. It's hardwood from a

black walnut tree.

Black walnut.

Presumably he wasn't hit with the whole
tree, so we can set the point out. What

did they make out of black walnut?

Show yourself, then.

You like it?

You big chicken.

You never said what happened to your old
one.

I honestly don't know, Lucas.

Of course you don't.

But take it from lessons learned long
ago.

Silence. It's the best friend you never
knew he had.

Right, so it's definitely not Neil's
phone.

No, no. The network provider reckons
it's a burner because it's not

anywhere. But the weird thing is, when
they opened it up, the only number they

found on it were Neil.

So whoever on this phone has been
calling Neil on it?

Yeah. And, according to his provider,
he's been calling them back.

Look, why would a phone that don't
belong to Neil have his blood and

fingerprints on it? God knows.

Right, I need some fresh air in my head
to pound it.

Right.

Mind if I run through it by you?

You're going to anyway, sir.

It's about Emma.

She stepped off a bus in a taxi. Right,
damn, damn. My head is banging, yeah. We

just... We need to follow up on Lucas
Oxley, find out who's been calling Neil,

let alone who hit him over the head with
a lump of water. Which is what I am

doing. Look, Emma got off the bus in a
tiny village. There were no CCTV, no

traffic cams, nothing to record a
movement. But why did she get off the

the bus was taking her all the way to
Birmingham?

That's what I said.

He said whoever abducted her picked her
up from that point, didn't he? What if

Neil helped her escape? What if he was
waiting there to take her somewhere

Yeah, but Neil had an alibi, didn't he?
He had some bloke. He spent the whole

day with him. in Birmingham.

When he starts his alibi, every path,
Ben, we go down every single one.

No, that's weird. Why are you saying
that? Where have you got that from?

I don't know. I just said it somewhere.
Why?

Nothing. It's just something Dad used to
say.

Come on, then. Let's do it.

Hi. Let's see who gave Neil another
bone.

Ben, look at this.

What? Look.

Every damn path.

Derek Olsen.

He told me he'd never met Neil before.

Hello, Derek.

We've just got a few questions to ask
you.

Sorry, you've reminded me I'd better put
a sign up for you.

No, no, no, Scott, I can wait. I can
wait.

Why did you tell me you'd never met Neil
when he was in Birmingham before?

Because I didn't.

Only you did because five years ago you
gave Birmingham police a statement

saying that you were with Neil the day
that Emma Runshaw went missing.

Neil asked me to do it.

He said they'd believe him out of the
cloth.

Okay. Okay, so where was he instead?

He just said he was in an alibi.

I didn't question it.

Right, so you do know providing a false
alibi is a serious offence, so you just

happily went along and did it, though,
right?

You must have known Neil pretty well to
do something like that for him.

Come on, Derek, you don't just leave
your old parish and come to a run -down

village for nothing, do you?

Neil and I...

We were in a relationship at the time.

I thought he was dating Emma back then.

It was a front.

They were best friends.

She helped him out, he helped her out.

So did the Runshaws know about you and
Neil?

They hated Neil.

And I may have well defended him a bit
too fervently.

The Runshaws had meant that.

Neil's alibi was a lie.

I mean, you end up telling them what you
did for him.

Two weeks ago.

They pried it out of me.

They're nothing but horrible bullies.

I didn't have a choice.

Look, if the Runshaws only found out
about Derek's fake alibi recently, then

that'd explain why they killed Neil now
and not five years ago.

Derek!

I thought I should try and tidy up a
bit.

I pulled back the tap when Neil was
clearing up.

Ben, it's not in the coffin.

Male after female.

That'll have to wait for now.

That's a nice bracelet.

Can you at least tell her how long it's
been in the ground?

See my previous answer.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Is it her? Is it my Emma? Is it her?

Is it our Emma? Is it her?

Sorry, we actually don't know anything
at this point. Sorry, guys, sorry.

I know it's her!

It's not Emma, love!

Emma, it can't be. She's out there
somewhere. She's alive.

I can feel it. You can too. Tell me you
can.

I don't understand. Why would Neil cover
up her body when you could just call

the police like a normal person and
instead he tells Derek he's going to go

someone? And ends up dead in a disused
quarry.

I meant to be the one who offers
support, but look at me.

When did Neil start clearing the
graveyard?

Two days ago.

It had become overgrown.

Neil was helping tidy it up.

Did anyone voice concerns about that?

Not to me, they didn't.

He was doing a good thing.

I did think it was weird that he just up
and left before finishing.

Sorry, I need to answer this.

I'll be back in a minute.

Go on, say it.

Say what?

You think that Thelma's body that Neil
dug up, don't you?

And that her parents put her there,
right?

Or at least the dad did, judging by the
mum's reaction.

No, but he would have had to have known
about their escape plan.

OK, let's just say he did.

And on the day she went to meet Neil,
what, he went after her, pulled up and

grabbed her before Neil got there?

I mean, it would be the perfect spot to
go undetected because Emma and Neil had

already made sure of it.

OK, but if that was the case, then Neil
would have known they'd taken her when

he got there.

Because she's not there, so why not ring
the police then?

Report her missing.

She's a young girl. But no, instead, he
moves back to Withens, doesn't point the

finger of suspicion at anyone in five
years.

I'm not buying that.

It's Sarge.

They've found Neil's car. Let's go.

It's near where the body was found.

This is nice.

Look at this handsome bastard.

He's a rams fan.

Any sign of Neil's phone, Sarge?

No, not a sniff.

No. Look, you're telling me he bought
all this when I'm doing odd jobs.

Tell you something, I've seen this
before.

His report's stolen, I'm sure of it.

Lucas Doxley?

When did he become a player in this?

The last known person to see Neil
Goodwin alive, sir.

We believe that he was threatening Neil
over the sale of his house to

Firthwater. How come?

Well, Firthwater... plan to flatten
Withans and build a water refiner in its

place. The villagers are furious.

One of the villagers, Michael Hebden,
who works for the water company, he

Neil sell his house in secret.

What if word gets out?

Yeah, we all know what Oxford's capable
of.

Anything else?

The run shows.

We believe they were abusing Emma.

It's just a theory for now.

But the number of hospital visits she
had seems to point to that.

No -one spotted that five years ago.

I just got lucky, sir.

So we think Neil actually helped Emma
escape their clutches.

They found out.

Which gives both their own char's
motive.

What have they got, alibis?

Conveniently, they've given each other
an alibi, sir.

But how did they find out about Neil? I
mean, was this recently?

Yeah, um, Derek Colton, the vicar, he
told them that he'd given Neil a false

alibi. Oh, man of God lies to the
police.

Well, he had to, sir. He was in a
relationship with Neil.

The things people do for love.

So, if I was a betting man, who would
you tell me to put my money on?

Ron Charles.

Great.

Is that it?

Well, judging by the inside of Neil's
car, sir, he's definitely on the rub.

Well, the fact is convinced, anyway.

Which brings in another factor.

We think Neil could have had a falling
out with whoever he's dealing with.

And then we think it could be that
person's phone that we found up at

Who throws away their own phone?

Yeah, we have that question also, but we
just can't seem to figure it out yet.

But yeah, that's the picture as it
stands.

Here it is.

I'm just going to put this up there.

Remember my hunch about this bad boy?

Turns out it was stolen from an address
in Wythens, no less.

It was an heirloom.

Where'd you find it?

We've reason to believe Neil Goodwin
stole it.

Neil wasn't a thief.

He was about the only decent person
around here.

Well, we found it in his car.

I can't believe that of him.

He put the security grills over the
windows, installed the front door. Damn

thing weighs a ton.

He did all that to protect me.

Protect you? You didn't say you needed
protecting.

I would have thought it was obvious.

I'm party to the death of this crappy
little village.

So you were threatened as well?

That they come every day?

The threat to keep them because we would
need to see them.

No, you misunderstand me.

They come in person.

What the hell?

I told you.

Every day.

Without fail.

They're bored around.

Look, can you see what they're holding?

Yeah, it's black walnut.

Oxley makes them.

I'm going to have a word with them. No.

They'll go away in a bit. It's best to
wait them out.

Yeah, I can't do that. No, please.

They can't get in. We're safe in here.
Neil's thought of that. It's all right.

We're the police. We'll be fine. Leave
it to us.

Excuse me.

Police.

Do you want to take off your mask? We
need to ask you some questions.

Take off your mask and take a step back.

I'm warning you.

I call with the police, remember?

We're here to help.

I said, leave me alone.

We're here to find out what happened to
Neil, Mr. Hebden.

Put the gun down, Mr. Hebden.

We need to check if Herden has the
licence for that shotgun. I don't think

in any fit mental state to own one, but
you never know.

We need to find out who's behind the
border rats, because any one of them

have been threatening Neil.

And we can't even unmask them without a
warrant.

I have me thinking Leeds were bad.

Ah, come on.

You need to tell me about this, because
whatever happened in Leeds has followed

you here.

And don't tell me it's nothing.

It is nothing.

You don't drive the whole way to
Edendale to deliver a teddy bear.

That's mad.

When I broke up with him, he couldn't
accept it.

To the point where I had to move here.

Now the problem is, he still won't
accept it.

Does this guy have a name?

David.

David Banner. Right, and is David
married?

I'm taking that as a yes.

Look, promise, I didn't know. I didn't
know, and as soon as I found out that he

had a wife and kids, I ended it.

If you want my advice, I'll be picking
up the phone and I'll be putting him on

stalking charges.

Ben, it's not that easy.

Why? Tell me.

Well, can I at least see a photo of this
guy?

Relax, it's the boss.

Hello?

Yeah. You at the theatre?

Yeah. Take a seat.

We've just had the report on the body in
Wyndham's graveyard.

Is it Emma Runchard?

No. Turns out it's Lily Oxley.

Lucas Oxley's daughter -in -law.

She's been lying in that graveyard for
years, from around about the time that

she supposedly moved to Wales.

So Dad was right, something did happen
to her.

Well, if she turned her husband in,
Lucas Oxley could have found out and,

turned on her.

Maybe Neil recognised her initials from
the bracelet.

That could be what he wanted to talk to
Oxley about outside the pub.

Dr Taylor mentioned that Lily was
bludgeoned to death and that there are

particles.

of black walnut in the wound.

So it has all the similarities of Neil
Goodman's murder.

Lucas Oxley.

I thought I smelled something when I met
you.

You're Joe Cooper's son.

Couldn't place you at first, but today,
I think of your dad about you.

Well, just so you know, Lucas, we've
ID'd the person found at the church.

It was your daughter -in -law, Lily.

Can't be.

She went travelling.

Packed her bag and took off.

No. Sir Lucas, make no mistake.

Neil found her when he was clearing up.
She'd been buried there for years.

I suppose it saves on a funeral, then.

What with her having been buried
already.

You can pop her back in when you're
done.

We heard there were animosity between
you and Neil.

Neil had some things he needed selling.

There was no animosity.

Why would I hurt Neil?

I had nothing against him. Where were
you the day that Neil were murdered?

I was in the pub for closing time.

Rehearsing. Oh, yeah?

Rehearsing what?

You'll have to come down next time and
see for yourself.

OK, can anyone confirm that you were in
the pub that whole time?

After Vicky.

He'll tell you.

Oh, so Derek Holton's aboard a rat too?

Of course he is.

Dancing and chanting to an IABN.

Busman's holiday for him.

But he knows as well as anyone.

You have to rehearse or you're perfect.

Or else the spirits won't come.

What do you mean by that, Luca?

We're in a fight for our lives,
sweetheart.

And we're summoning help.

And mark my words, they'll come.

And their hunger and rage will follow.

Cross this village and the rats will
come out to feast.

We are with him through and through.

We know what it means to be from a place
like this.

Those like Burt Water, they try to pick
on the little guy.

Well, they don't understand what we've
been through.

They don't understand the way of the
border rap.

Decades have gone by since our ancestors
lost their lives.

Or for some useless quarry.

Those men fought to the very end.

And we will do too.

We honour them each and every day.

But now more than ever.

First water are closing in. This war
we've been ready for is coming straight

our front doors.

And this, this is our time now.

This is our time for revenge.

For the border rats to rise up and take
back what is ours.

It is wonderful to see so many here,
especially in light of recent events.

Anyway, we are here for Emma, not just
to remember,

but to reclaim her, as in bring her back
to within,

through her art and all these wonderful
photographs.

Sarah and Howard know that this village
is

where she truly belongs.

Thank you.

We need an alibi.

And you've been happy to give him in the
past, so...

Do you want to talk about this
somewhere, Saito?

I wasn't in the pub that night.

I don't know why Lucas would say that.

So where were you then?

At the church. I was sorting a few
things.

Can anyone verify that?

No.

You know, I've got to say, I find it
strange that you moved down here five

after Neil ended the relationship.

That was pure coincidence.

You had feelings for him, didn't you?

Even after all these years, you couldn't
get him out of your head.

No, that's not true.

When did you find out Neil had sold out?

He told me last week.

How did you take it?

I told him I was happy for him.

Even though you'd moved your entire life
down here just to be with him, you said

you were happy with him.

Well, we'd figured things out recently
and we agreed to be friends.

Did you tell anyone he was moving away?

Why would I do that?

You're a border rat.

You would have known what that sale
meant.

I only became a border rat to be closer
to Neil.

Actually, I kept it to myself.

I knew people would be angry, but I'd
never put Neil in danger.

No, but that's exactly what you did when
you told the runchards about your fake

alibi, isn't it?

Wasn't it?

Talk us through your movements for the
night and he'll die, please.

I went to his house.

He wasn't in, so I went looking for him
and I ended up back at the

church.

And then what?

When I went into my office, I saw that
someone had been in my cupboard.

The door was swinging open.

What'd you keep in there?

My border rat costume.

And my staff had been stolen.

Lucas, we weren't sure you'd still be
here.

Villagers only.

No blow -ins wanted.

That's not very nice, Lucas.

You've got to pay him smoke first, as
your dad.

And look what happened to him.

Derek wasn't at the pub, Lucas.

He lied to us.

So who do you want to get now, Jonah?

Point out one of your friends who can
come along with us to the station and

we'll find out their line and all.

Howard.

Come here a sec.

Yes, David.

Tell this pilgrim where I was the night
Neil got himself killed.

I'll have to have a think.

I said tell him.

He was rehearsing all night in the pub.

And you'd know this.

How?

Because... I was rehearsing with him.

No one went home till closing.

Your dad's probably looking down on you
right now.

Thinking, look at that.

My idiot son has inherited my idiot
genes.

Leave it, Ben.

Yeah.

Leave it, Ben.

Arrogant bastard.

Look, if that's the case, then Howard's
alibi for Lucas means that Sarah was on

around the night that he was killed.

Howard is scared stiff of Lucas. He'll
say anything to keep him sweet.

One of them's lying.

And if Sarah made Howard give her an
alibi, then surely that's the act of a

person with something to hide.

Yeah, but we know Lucas made the staff,
so all we have to do is find the staff

that killed Neil and we've got him.

Nothing else matters.

No, I need to speak with Sarah.

Mrs. Runshaw, it wasn't Emma's body that
was dug up.

It was Millie Oxley.

So how's Ryan?

Emma's still out there.

Mrs. Runshaw, according to Lucas Oxley,

Howard was with him when Neil was
killed.

Which isn't what you told us, so... Do
you want to tell me why you lied?

I mean, we could take this to the police
station.

Seems to me you're not quite as clever
as Howard thought.

What do you mean by that?

So what if Howard wasn't at home with
me?

Doesn't mean I wasn't there.

What I mean is, innocent people wouldn't
lie.

I was waiting in all evening, just like
I do every night, just in case Emma

finds the way home.

Mrs. Runshaw, I'm here to talk about
Neil.

We're tied together, mother and
daughter, in darkness and in light.

Emma knows that better than anyone.

Yeah, Emma definitely knows about
darkness.

You've not got kids, have you?

Sometimes, a mother...

You have to do things that hurt both
themselves and their child.

It's the cross a parent has to bear.

You're not just a nurturer.

You're a teacher, too.

And some lessons take a little bit
longer to sink in.

But I can assure you that everything was
done with love and care.

I found the staff on Lucas Oxley's
property.

Looks like he was planning to burn it
all.

Hopefully forensics will prove it was
used to kill Neil.

And this is the one we'll use to send
the threats?

It's got to be.

Do you think we can get him on Lily's
murder as well?

He definitely has motive.

Forensics are checking out a bracelet
for Prince.

It'd be a great result if we could.

You don't look convinced, do you?

Luke, we thought we had an alibi for
Neil's murder.

It just feels too easy.

Guys, evidence management just called.

It's about the burner they found in
Manto.

If they ever fell to the arse, I'll just
call this person back.

No, because that's tempering with
evidence, Saj.

So what are we going to do, just stand
around staring at it?

What good is that going to do?

The caller ID is Neil.

I'll get Tracy to get a cell site
looking.

Come on, even if she does, all right,
who's to say the car's going to stay

around?

Why did you have to say that, Sarge?

Give it here.

I'm not taking a rap for this.

Come on.

Neil.

Hold on.

I thought this wasn't Neil's phone.

That's the cafe not valet, I know where
it is. Come on. Yeah, I'll come with

you. Right.

Relax.

You look like a cop on a knob.

Maybe he thought of us.

No, we're... That's Emma Munchaw.

Emma.

I'm afraid Neil's not coming. I don't
understand.

Where is he? Who are you?

I'm Detective Constable Cooper. This is
Detective Constable Fry.

Um, look, maybe we should...

Sit down and have a chat.

Why?

What is this?

I think it's best you take a seat, Emma.

Where's Neil?

I'm afraid... I'm afraid Neil was killed
a few days ago.

What?

Emma, I understand that this is
shocking, but we need to ask you a few

questions.

Do you want a drink, tea or water before
we start?

What happened to him?

Well, that's why we're here. We're
trying to find that out.

We appreciate that this is hard.

But we need your help, Emma.

Do you think you can do that?

We'll start with Neil.

We're aware that he helped you get away
from your parents.

He saved my life.

I don't know how long it would have
lasted in that house.

I saw the brave girl sticker, so I
understand.

My mum was a terrifying one.

I bet she told you how she almost died
giving birth to me.

She mentioned it.

She told me the same thing every day of
my life.

Like it was my fault.

You nearly killed me.

Over and over she'd say it.

Sometimes words weren't enough.

She nearly knocked me into next week
some days.

The next thing I know I'm lying there
with a broken arm or a fractured jaw.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, Emma.

Why didn't your dad step in?

The amount of times I begged him to.

I grieved myself for it, but he just...
Just said he did nothing.

Never buy me a stupid doll afterwards.

Did anybody know?

Did the services step in?

It started when I was, like, two years
old.

And if you grow up not trusting your own
parents, then what's going to make you

think you can trust any other adult?

But you did trust Neil.

But I hadn't saved any money, and I
didn't know where to go.

And then he came up with this plan, and
it worked.

Up until two weeks ago, I was living in
Birmingham.

I was putting up shop.

I work in a cafe.

And as I was turning the clothesline
around, I saw them.

And my parents, they tried the door.

Thank God they didn't. see me, I was in
shadow, but a few seconds earlier and

they'd have walked in.

It was completely by chance, but it was
too close for comfort.

So Neil came up with another plan.

He told me to ditch everything. My
phone, my flat. He told me to hide out

he could get some cash together.

But not by selling his house. It would
have took months for the cash to come

through. Of course not, and that wasn't
happening anymore.

He'd changed his mind.

He'd sold up Emma.

The last time I saw him, he told me he
was going to talk to someone down at the

water company to call off the sale.

What? Wait.

Did Neil tell you why he wasn't selling
up anymore?

Him and the vicar had come to some sort
of agreement.

It got to the point that Derek was doing
Neil nothing and was driving him away.

But they figured it out and Neil didn't
need to move away anymore.

So how was he going to get money for
you?

Well, by selling the stuff he, you know,
stole.

As soon as he agreed a deal with Lucas
Oxley, he was going to call me on the

phone he gave me.

Tell me to get ready to leave.

Do you know who Neil was meeting up at
the quarry? I didn't know he was meeting

anyone. I really didn't. Okay, okay. And
last question, I promise.

How come you and Neil had swapped
phones?

It was an accident. He was in a hurry
and he picked up mine by mistake.

I don't need to see that phone, Emma.

What happens now?

You can't bring me into this.

You're part of a murder inquiry, Emma.

You can't let my parents know you found
me.

Not if Neil's not here to help me.

Please don't tell them.

Right, as soon as we get this phone
open, as soon as we can find out who

was meeting up with.

School pick -up time. We're going to be
stuck in traffic now.

Come on, you must know some shortcuts.

Ben? What?

We're in Hout Valley.

And?

When we met Hebden at the quarry, he
said he was taking a shortcut from work.

First water's offices down Hout Valley.

Remember the map?

Come on.

Driving through the quarry takes me in
the opposite direction.

What are you talking about?

Just drive and I'll explain. Drive!

Mr. Abdon, we need a word.

Michael? We need a word.

Michael?

Michael?

Check the window.

Michael?

Michael?

No, I'll be right back.

Mr. Hebden!

Michael!

Mr. Hebden!

Stop!

You're under arrest.

Turn round. Turn round.

We were in Hope Valley earlier.

Tell us about the shortcut through the
quarry you take from work, please.

Er, yeah.

It saved me a few times that.

Why do you ask?

It, er... Turns out it isn't actually a
shortcut.

Takes you in the opposite direction, you
see.

Why lie to us, Mr Hebden?

You see, we have Neil's phone, and I
think we'll find messages on there

you and him.

arranging to meet up at the quarry on
the night he was murdered. I didn't meet

with Neil, I swear.

When did you find out he decided to stay
at Withens?

He wasn't, he was selling up.

We think he rang you and he wanted to
meet up and he was going to tell you

changed his mind.

And you saw your plans fall into pieces
because if Neil didn't sell, then no

-one else would follow suit.

The first war would start having to look
at other sites and you'd be stuck in

Withens forever.

So you agreed to meeting him? I
certainly did not. Come on, Michael,

be on the phone. Look, stop this,
please. I know you don't have it. You're

bluffing. I can tell.

You thought you threw Neil's phone away
when you killed him, right?

But that was actually Emma Runshaw's
phone, because Neil took hers by

so she had his.

And, er, well, now we have it.

This is ridiculous.

Emma Runshaw disappeared years ago.
Well, we had a conversation with her

afternoon, Michael.

We can keep this up all day if you want.

Shall we jog your memory?

OK, so Neil tells you he isn't selling.

You've got border rats hounding you day
and night.

Lucas Oxley is one of those rats, and
he's a man who can do a lot more than

threaten you. So you panic, and you
realise you need to get Neil to change

mind, no matter what it takes.

Yeah, and you've got these thoughts
going round your mind, and then you see

Reverend Alton.

And you know where he keeps his stuff.

And you take it, Michael.

Then you arrange to meet Neil at the
quarry. And when you see him...

What

went wrong?

Neil was sorry.

He really was.

But he felt bad selling up. It was
his... family home. It was where all his

memories of his parents were. He just
couldn't do it.

And then?

Michael.

He was such a nice person.

Unusually kind.

I suppose I thought he'd come round to
my way of thinking.

But he didn't.

And suddenly I was... I was swinging
that staff as

hard as I could.

Why did you take the staff away with
you?

Was it to try and frame Lucas, actually?

I knew there'd be an investigation, and
I knew his name would come up, so I

dumped it in that stupid bonfire of his.

And God knows I gave you enough hints to
go and look for the bloody thing.

Why did you drive up to the quarry the
next morning?

Thought I might have left some evidence.
I was going to look around.

I had already panicked and thrown away
the phone.

But you know what?

Whatever I did, this is on them as well.

The village.

The border rat.

They drove me crazy. I just couldn't
think straight anymore.

The rats aren't coming, Lucas.

Move on.

This is private property.

You murdered Lily and buried her in the
church grounds.

And if it weren't for Neil accidentally
digging her up, you would have got away

with it.

Lucas Oxley, I am arresting you on
suspicion of the murder of Lily Oxley.

You do not have to say anything, but it
may harm your defence if you do not

mention when questioned something which
you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in
evidence.

You don't know what you've done.

You don't know what you've done!

Your prints were on Lily's bracelet
because it's over.

Graham, I dropped by because I wanted to
tell you the news in person.

You found Emma?

It's more that we're closing the file on
Emma.

You can't do that.

We need her back.

She belongs with us.

Yeah, she won't be coming back.

Why would you say that?

I found evidence that Emma ran away.

She had the help in the shape of Neil.

She's alive?

So he took her?

What Neil did, Mr. Runshaw, was an act
of kindness.

He was a good person. He just wanted to
try and help people. What the hell are

you talking about?

If she chooses to live a life away from
you, then that is up to her.

That's our baby girl. What she is, Mr.
Runshaw, is an adult, and if she wants

be free from both of you, then you have
to learn to respect that.

Well deserved.

Here we go.

Cheers. Cheers.

That's good.

How were the run shows?

Mental.

And, yeah, angry.

But I officially closed the case on
Emma.

Just in time to open a new one.

Against your ex, do you?

Listen, I know you don't want to hear
it, but it's the best thing to do, get

on stalking. Let me just do it my way
first, yeah?

I want to wait him out.

Derek Alton took five years to come to
his senses.

Look, I thought we were supposed to be
celebrating.

You got Lucas Oxley.

He'd have made your dad proud.

Yeah, did something right.

You've done loads of things right.

Ben.

If you want to, um, like, bounce around
new ideas about your dad's kid... No,

no.

No point.

It's a dead end.

You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um... I tell him, just go.

I can tell that you've had some upheaval
in your life, some thing recent, and

you may have to overcome some hurdle.

But after that, things will definitely
change.

Now, most people get spooked when they
see this card.

But don't worry. It can mean the death
of something negative or the end of a

long and arduous road.

But whatever it is,

I think you have much to anticipate.

Even to look forward to.

I'll take that.

Are you new to Edendale, or just passing
through?

Oh, we're passing through.

But you know what?

I think I might hang around for a bit.

No warrants, no rights.

There's not much I haven't seen.

Even murder. Dead is dead.

Two women were attacked in the same area
within a few weeks of each other.

What's the connection?

It's time to come on, don't you think?

Get out of here now!

I tried to listen to her. I tried to
listen, but I didn't. And it's too late.

In the case of the murder of Joe Cooper,
do you admit to perverting the course

of justice?
