Another?
This kid managed to escape.

Help me!

So what I'm hearing is the victims
were forced to ingest these stones?

Coincidences are mounting up now.

Tammy, she worked with Rob,
same school as this Zandy.

Not to mention
three of the victims were handled

by the same social services team.

Yeah, he's on my list.

Hi. I'm James.
I'm just here to talk about Lucy.

He said he'd been wild swimming
with the social worker!

Bethany, no...
Liar!

You're shutting me,
shutting everyone else out,

everyone bar Michael Bach.

You're not cut out for this.

We found a photo of you
inside a taxidermied rabbit. What?!

Don's not the killer.

You think I was played?
Have you asked yourself that?

In the meantime,
the killer's still out there.

Monica!
Philly.

You came back.

You didn't leave The Burning Light,
did you, Philly?

They left you.

He said I wasn't a good fit
for them any more.

And then he took my girl with him.

I'm sorry.
Afterwards, it was so obvious.

I was stupid. I was so stupid.

They'd been planning it for a while.

You know,
I never meant to scare you...

..or Lucy.

SOBBING: I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I j... I j...

I... I need air.

No, Philly.
Don't go out there. Shit!

Philly, I need you to be calm,
and I need you to stay there.

PHILLY PANTS

I know you're here.

I'm sorry, Monica. I'm so sorry.

What are you doing?
I still need her, Monica.

I'm not strong enough
without him, am I?

BARCLAY SCOFFS

You're not gonna cut it up for him?

Do airplanes?

I can make an egg for you.

I just didn't know
when you were coming down.

No, no, no, no. Mum, it's fine.

You can have mine.

I don't want that.

Mind, you look like you do.

SIGHS DEEPLY
No, I don't.

BARCLAY SLURPS
Ah.

What are you gonna do with yourself?
With your life?

Have your mother wait on you
hand and foot forever?

Poached or fried?
Like she does you?

What? Still buys
all your socks and pants, right?

That sounds more like
a little baby to me.

Should have left you years ago.

Stop it! Stop it! The pair of you!

SHE SOBS
Beth...

I want you out of here
by the end of the day.

KNOCKING AT DOOR

Looks like
the painkillers kicked in.

Morning.
How are you?

Erm, yeah, I, er...

I don't know.

She'll get a line of duty funeral?
Yes.

Yesterday, it was like
a horror film, wasn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, with all the brown people
getting killed first.

The... The stones.

I've been up since 4am.
I needed something to do, like.

Er... The one the killer's
been leaving in the bodies,

Hadid says
they're Scottish onyx, agates.

Can be found in Rosemarkie Beach,
Montrose and Lunan Bay.

And do they mean anything?
Like, symbolise something?

Strength and protection.

Thank you, Dhillon. This is...
Yeah.

This is useful.
Stick to what I'm good at, eh?

I did exactly what everyone thought
I was going to do.

Froze.

Like a coward.

Training didn't kick in.

I... I felt like my legs
were like steel blocks.

I just... I c-c... I couldn't move.
You're not alone there, Dhillon.

You?

Did an officer die?

Almost.

Ah!
HE SNIFFLES

How's Crawford?
HE CLEARS THROAT

He hasn't been to see you?
No.

MIMICS AIRPLANE

You didn't have to come to this.

Have you even been home yet?
I can still smell it on you.

HE SIGHS

The person we arrested

has subsequently been released
under investigation,

but we are pursuing
other confidential lines of inquiry.

The killer lives among us.

He's targeting men
between the ages of 16 and 30,

and he's doing so
with the use of this.

If you have been given a phone
like this by someone you don't know,

please come forward immediately.

This man is weak.

He lures his victims into traps,
and then he incapacitates them.

He's unoriginal, basic.

Grappling for the smallest,

most pathetic semblance of power
that he can.

Unremarkable as to be invisible.

He could be your neighbour,

the person who serves you
at the supermarket, your son.

Above all else, he is,
at his core, a coward.

JOURNALISTS CLAMOUR

Nice job (!)

Maybe warn us next time
when you wanna go off script,

provoke a madman.

Well, you were losing them,
the pair of you,

giving them basic facts
they already knew.

Whereas Kennedy always needs
to give 'em a proper piece of meat.

Why don't you go back to the pub

and leave the rest of us
to save these boys?

Are you serious?
I can hear you in there.

In case you hadn't noticed,
this place is swarming with press.

We don't need unhelpful headlines.

No, Ma'am.
PHONE BUZZES

Are you in the room with us, Monica?
Excuse me.

She's gone off the rails again.

But you already know that, right?

Just remember who you're talking to.

MONICA ON VIDEO: 'He's targeting men
between the ages of 16 and 30,

'and he's doing so
with the use of this.'

Turn that off. We're gonna be late.

'..phone like this
by someone you...'

Tammy!

It's the police.
They're talking about...

Murder? Goes really nice
with Choccy Flakes.

About the phones, Dad.
Like the one Rob had.

They all had them,
all the dead boys.

You have got to stop
your obsession with this.

Tammy, it is not healthy to watch
every video, read every article.

Why have you got phones like that
in the car boot?

I saw them yesterday.

Yeah, they're from
the outreach centre.

Pre-paid.

We give them out to clients.
They act as a lifeline.

It's like the food.

Do you not remember
when you volunteered?

Yeah.

Yeah. Dad...?
OK. We've got to go. Come on.

Sorry, I just...

It-It's just difficult
now he's back.

Please, please promise me.

Barclay can't find out.

Mum!

SHE SIGHS

Erm, we're out of milk.
Sorry, I got distracted.

It was the dentist.

MONICA: What's that?

Spoils of war.

Cat's war.

So, what couldn't be done
over the phone?

HE SNORTS
Straight to business.

Erm... After yesterday,

I started to have all
these thoughts, and I needed to...

Well, er...

It's maybe best seen.

I think there's a pattern
amongst the boys.

Well, stop me if I'm overstepping,

but I think
there's something quite specific.

They've all lost someone.

Jason lost Nichol, without a trace.

Robert's mother -
one day, she was here,

the next, she was gone.

And Owen, by all accounts,
he loved that boy Luca.

Missing siblings,
lost loves, dead parents,

whatever you want to call it,
it takes a...

a piece out of you.

It-It... It leaves a hole
in your heart, makes you feel...

Weak. Lost.

Easily led.
Exactly.

And the killer, he sees this...
emptiness in these boys,

and he manipulates it.

I think there have been
other victims.

Know about holes in the heart,
do you?

Oh. Er...

This is my dad's house.

And a few years ago now,
I found him...

..down by the loch with...
hosepipe...

..looped through the window,
engine still running.

How's that for a hole in your heart?
Christ.

DOOR OPENS

The door was unlocked.

Hello, Detective.
Nichol.

I've come to ask you
a few questions, Michael.

Are you fucking my mother?

What? Is that why she tried
to blow your brains out?

What are you talking about?
Did you promise her things? Hm?

Cos that's what you do, isn't it?

You talk, and then you listen.

And then you talk some more.

Well, OK, take a seat.
Answer the question.

She thought I killed Jason.
That's why.

Some nonsense about me taking him
swimming or God knows what. Look...

I can see you're in hell right now.

If I can help you... Hey.

..in any way.

What was that about?

I have an idea.
DOOR SLAMS

Thanks for this.

Erm, M-Monica?

There's something else
you should know.

It's about Lucy.

How do you know my daughter's name?

Why didn't you tell me you had
a meeting with a social worker?

Don't you come in here
all guns blazing.

James Brooke. Was he looking
for info on Lucy's dad?

No, it was about me,
and it was about the slap

and that poison nonsense,
but it's all sorted.

Sorted?
That's what I said.

Anyway, it's me
who's got the bone to pick.

I'm the one stuck here all day,
all night, caring for your daughter.

Not a single word from you.

Lucy, teatime!

I mean... where have you been?

It's on the table, darling.
Hi, darling.

Granny and I are just having a chat.
We'll be one second.

I'm waiting.

I was with Philly at the hospital.
What?

She's gonna get help.
She'll be safe.

Does that mean we're safe? She's
not gonna try and take Lucy again?

She's so unwell.

ANGELA SIGHS
Brainwashed.

Was I that bad?

Worse.

Well, I'm never going back there
again, I promise.

Well, don't just promise to me.

PHONE BUZZES

Yep?

Your performance at the
press conference caught something.

'What?'
Just get over here.

I'll ping you my location.

Crawford...
'You want me to grovel?

'I will do it in person.'

Just get over here.

WHISPERS: You tell her, not me.

Hi, darling.

Eating my veg.
That you are.

Going back to work?
Yeah.

Sorry. Are you upset?

No. Not even a tiny bit.

You shouldn't just leave
without saying anything.

I know about him.

Sorry?
Overheard you on the phone.

How long's that been going on for,
then? Nichol...

It's just sex, right?

No, it's definitely,
definitely not that.

We've never even...
What is it, then? Tell me.

I don't know.

HE SCOFFS
He was just someone at work.

At first.

And then we noticed each other.

And he was kind and gentle.

Even now, he is so different.

Losing a child, I don't have
to explain what that feels like.

Stephen Wright?
Yeah?

Who did you think?

That was cruel, Nichol.

Lad said he got sent the phone
in the post a few weeks back.

The person on the other end claims
they're his long-lost aunt.

Long-lost how? Missing?

Mm. Been on the news and stuff.

Were they close,
the boy and his aunt?

Very, from what I gather.
Until she disappeared, that is.

Got lab and tech on it?
Yeah.

Are you waiting for me to grovel?

Not my style. Or yours.

I'm sorry about Carol.

Me too.

I saved the best till last.

This kid with the phone, Eric,

he's a school refuser
who's got a social worker

who, he thought
it was pertinent to mention,

offered to take him swimming.

And not just down to the pools,
either - wild swimming.

Well, if it was Michael Bach,
you'd be more smug.

Close. James Brooke.

Michael's dodgy colleague.
He's not at the office.

I've already got officers searching
his computer while they're at it.

Well, if he's not at the office,
where is he?

After you.

Hi.
Hi. I'm here to see Zandy Allen.

If you could just sign in here
for me. Yeah.

Take a seat.
OK.

SHE GASPS

Monica?

Monica?

Nichol. Look at me.

Look at me.

Don't do this.
DOOR CLOSES

What are you still doing here?

Sit down.

Answer me.
I've found out the truth for you.

I'm trying to throw you
a scrap of dignity, so...

Please.
What's he saying?

So that you can handle this
like the man that you are.

NICHOL CHUCKLES

The fuck did you just say to me?

I used to be so scared of you.

Fucking same manipulative,
lying little shit!

She's in love with Stephen, right?
Hm?

Should never have come back here,
son!

Please stop. Stop!
You hear me?!

No! Don't!
NICHOL GRUNTS

Bethany, is it... is this true?

Where are you going?
Where are you going?

Please, don't!
DOOR SLAMS

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Hello, Mr Wright.
Tammy.

So you chased him back to here?

Is he, what do you say, of interest?
We'll see.

I watched the press conference,
bits of it.

My Tammy's constantly glued
to her phone.

She's become obsessed by it all.
It's understandable.

Yeah, that's the thing,
Detective Kennedy.

Monica.
Monica.

I feel it's important
to let you know that I...

..I give out phones

as part of my outreach work
with homeless people and NEETs,

a pre-paid SIM card
to help them get on their feet

as a sort of lifeline, you know?

OK.
I felt stupid calling in a tip-off.

But Tammy, she found them,
and she just lost it. She...

Point is, whoever's doing this,

if he's using the same phones,
or phones like it,

then he might be...

Working in the community too.
Helping people.

We'll need a list of everyone
you've given phones to.

My office will have that
to you today.

Thank you.
You need to see this.

I think maybe
you might have misguided...

All right. You can't be...
You know. What is it...?

Er, we're in the middle
of something here. James.

You two.
We need a word with you.

If this is about Lucy,
I was randomly assigned.

It's not.

Don't do that.

What do you make of him?

James.

Any words?

Any at all?
He's a bit...

You know one of them people
that just stands too close?

Like... that?

Reckons he wants
to take me swimming.

What?
LAUGHS: Aye! I know, right?

Talk about a nonce flex.

No, you should tell the police
about that. Yeah!

Well, maybe the police
are on to him.

How's, erm... Tammy?

Tam-Tam.
Fine.

Why did you offer
to take Eric swimming?

JAMES CHUCKLES
OK. Erm...

I think he's got
the wrong end of the stick.

Show us the right end.

I was talking to him about swimming.

About wild swimming, in particular,
and how it...

it de-stresses me.

So you didn't offer to take him?
No.

Well, I might have said
I'd show him where I go.

You know, all the best spots
and off the beaten track,

that sort of thing.

But, no,
not actually swim with him, no.

So hidden places.

I know how that may sound,
but, erm, it's not like that.

Have you ever had any contact
with Jason Morgan, the first victim?

No. Why?

Because a social worker
took him swimming too.

I've never met him.

Are you sure about that, James?

Yeah.

Then why have officers found
an email exchange

between you and the staff
at Jason's school

confirming that you came
and assessed him

following concerns raised
about his welfare?

No comment.

Why does the school have a record
of your meeting,

and yet there's no evidence
of you having recorded it

in Jason's social services file?

Yeah, all right. OK, look. I...

Yes, I met Jason,

and I took him swimming once
cos he wanted to.

It's good for them.

And these kids, right,
they've got nothing.

It... You know,
it gives them something to do.

And it gives you something to watch.

See, what I'm looking at here,
James,

is three boys who were targeted
by this killer.

And they all knew you,
on the record and off.

Did you enjoy hurting Jason?

I want a solicitor.

James Brooke, I am arresting you

on suspicion of the murder
of Jason Morgan.

Wait, wait, wait.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

Y-You can't do this.
You can't do this.

This is personal for you, isn't it?

..something you later rely on
in court.

Ow! Ow. Hey!
Stop moving, then. Stop moving.

..may be given in evidence.
W-Wait. OK, OK.

This is about Lucy, isn't it?

JAMES SCOFFS
Yeah, no wonder she's mad.

She's just like her mother.

She saw what you are...
just like I do.

You've got it so wrong.

Do you wanna sit down?

I didn't know
he was into science and stuff.

It's my fault.

I bought him a telescope
one Christmas, and...

..he got absolutely obsessed.

He wanted to go to Mars.
Maybe he would've got there.

Eventually.

Mr Wright...

Oh, no, please. Stephen.
Stephen.

I don't know if...

this is an inappropriate thing
to say to someone's dad, but...

..I really wanted Rob
to take me to the cinema.

Well, I'm sure, erm...
HE GULPS

..I'm sure he would have been
delighted to take you.

I tried.

I dropped this massive hint
the day of...

Well, he... he said he couldn't.

Oh. Sorry to hear that.

He'd promised to spend
the evening with you.

Me?

That's right. With his dad.

How did you know I was here?

Still with the tracker?
Do you blame me?

After your last disappearing act?
I don't like it.

Yeah, well, I don't like you doing
stupid things like coming here.

Is my nose broken?

Bloody, not broken.
Is he gonna be OK?

He'll be fine.

He attacked me.
He took advantage of Bethany.

We've never even touched.

We talk.

We even... pray together.

It's what she needs.
It's what we both need.

You don't get to tell me
what Bethany needs.

All right. Ambulance is on its way.

No, I'll be fine.

I-I came to see Mr Wright...

..to talk about Rob.

You?

I came to find her...

..skipping school... again.

Right, Crawford, why don't you take
Tammy and Mr Ward out to the car?

Take statements.
Yeah.

Let's get Barclay
back to the station.

HE SIGHS

Anything else to go?

Mum.

Jason's things.

What will happen to them?

Mum... Jason died here.

Do you really want us
to be reminded of that

for the rest of our lives?

You see this?

Do you know what this is?

It's a warning.

The police told me
he's giving them to the victims.

Whoever did this to Jason,
he's coming back.

SHE EXHALES
Mum, Mum, please.

Please do not let him find us.

Let him find Barclay on his own.

Do you really hate him that much?

You still can't see it?
Mum, it's him who hates me.

PHONE BUZZES

Er, we haven't got long.

So make sure
you've got everything you need.

Let's get inside.
It's cold out here.

Not yet.

OK, that's fine.

You can stay here.

Stay here as long as you want.

I've... I've never seen
anything like that.

I know, sweetheart.

Life almost...

..almost falling out of someone.

Busy day. Two arrests.
This is good. Good.

Monica.

Er...

What Jim said,
that stuff about Lucy...

I just wouldn't want anything
personal to cloud your judgement.

How long have you been worried
about my judgement?

Ask me.

About what?
The Burning Light.

That is none of my business.

Today was a good day.

I think we have the right guy.

DOOR SHUTS

Mum, I'll...
No.

Did Barclay do that to your face?

It's nothing.

Are you away, then?

With my son.

Rob... he was dead clever.

He told me this theory once,

that in life, we have
infinite choices that we can make.

And for each one,

there's a new version of ourselves
living that life.

Maybe somewhere out there,
there's a version of us...

..brave enough to be...

..more than just colleagues.

I hope so.
