Original subtitles

A nurse, strangled in Cleddau Wood.

Not getting deja vu, Rick?

Different circumstances, Sir.

But do you think it's a coincidence?

Too early to tell.

Why is Ffion Lloyd back?

Hi, Rick.

Hi, Rick. Hi.

Long time.

Long time. Is it a problem?

That you're back working together?

Tripping down memory lane at all hours?

I missed you.

I'm DI Ffion Lloyd, Cardiff MIT. I'm going to be your SIO on this.

Twelve years ago, Rick and I helped put Paul Harvey behind bars...

..after he drugged and killed two nurses in Cleddau Woods.

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

Sian Hinton?

There's no way Paul could have killed her.

He was with me.

What if Anna is telling the truth?

What if Anna is telling the truth? Time's up, Rick.

Who told you to say that it was Harvey?

It was Rick.

You're weak, and you're a liar, you're acting like the local hero...

..when all you really are is a sham.

Get away from me!

When was Dad last assessed? It's just that he's so much worse.

Nobody thought to tell me?

Nobody thought to tell me? You're never home. What's the point?

What are you afraid of, love?

I slept with Rick.

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

Police!

How does a sixteen-year-old boy...

..abducts, drugs, strangles two nurses, and dumps their bodies...

..without us even knowing that he existed?

Jamie told me you slept with Ffion.

You're one of the best, Rick.

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

When I get out of here, I don't want you in the house.

I need to escape the past, just as much as you do.

Ffion.

All clear.

The bad lady died.

She can't hurt us. No-one can.

We lock the doors here.

You're safe, OK?

Ghosts walk through walls, though.

There's no such thing as ghosts, is there?

Come on.

I think I reassured him.

Don't ever call in like this again, Rick.

It's emotional blackmail, and it's not fair.

We have a schedule for a reason.

They're my kids, Helen.

I miss them.

Hey.

Your dad was just leaving.

Hey, hang on, hang on, hang on.

Goodnight. Love you.

Goodnight. Love you. Love you.

Oh, I'll see you on...

On Saturday, as arranged.

DOOR CLOSES

Right, I'm going in.

How cold is it?

Come on.

I'm coming.

I've started learning Welsh.

Right, well...

..you didn't have to, but...

..well done.

So, erm...

..dating?

Why now?

I just wanted to see what was out there.

Meet new people, have a bit of fun.

I'm not looking for anything serious, or long-term.

This is nice.

All I was saying was...

..I'm not looking for anything serious, or intense.

OK.

Well, whoever he was that made you put your walls up...

..I'm not that guy.

Maybe that's the problem?

So, why are you still here?

My dad.

He's not well.

You do have a heart.

Where he's concerned, yes.

LAUGHTER

If my wife knew I was dancing like that with another woman.

Well, DI Lloyd...

..I consider it an honour to have made it to a third date.

Maybe I'm still making up my mind.

Erm, what can I do to convince you?

I really like you, Ffion...

..and I was sort of hoping...

..we could be more than just...

..friends with benefits.

Who said I needed a friend?

BEEPING

LAUGHTER

Hello?

Is she alright?

.

.

Sorry, Mogsy.

Had dinner with an old school friend.

Went back to hers for a coffee and catch-up.

Oh!

Don't worry, boss.

Girl code.

INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO

The Cleddau Blue Tits.

They're women, and they do cold-water swimming.

Got it.

They've never seen her before.

They've never seen her before. OK.

From the look of her, she's been down there a while.

Bacteria and gases must have brought her to the surface.

Could be a suicide, boss?

Threw herself off the bridge. It's a notorious spot for it.

Look for her possessions.

A bag, a coat - any evidence.

MESSAGE ALERT

Is that you, Mam?

No, Griff, your mother died years ago.

Oh, lifesaver. Thank you.

No possessions have been found on the riverbank or the bridge yet.

Why hasn't anyone reported her missing?

We need to identify her.

We need to identify her. The tattoo...

..Mogsy's going to phone all the local tattoo studios...

..to see if anybody recognises the design.

Yeah, good idea.

Was there anything else?

Come on, then - who is he?

Your new fella.

Bloody bigmouth Mogsy.

No, no, Mogsy kept quiet.

You never wear perfume, your car's at home...

..and I've never seen that jacket before.

I'm not a detective for nothing.

Yeah, I've been on a few dates.

I'm allowed a personal life, aren't I Rick?

No, of course. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, you should move on.

The fact that you're dating might help me with Helen anyway...

Oh...

Oh... We've got something boss.

The guy from Tarran Tattoos...

..remembers her coming in a few weeks ago.

Tuesday 27th of January.

Her name is Sara Danbridge.

Yeah, she's a 34-year-old divorcee.

Lives in DSS housing.

And she's under the care of a community psych nurse.

Good work.

The date on the tattoo is her daughter's birthday.

She's got a daughter.

She's got a daughter. Who loves mermaids.

That's them there.

We just found it on social media.

Any idea of next of kin?

Yeah. Her ex-husband's a teacher.

At Bontwerdd High.

Tom Danbridge?

DI Lloyd.

DS Sheldon.

What's wrong? Is it my daughter?

No. Erm, is there somewhere we could talk?

Yeah.

So, she finally killed herself?

She'd been found on the bridge before...

..so it seemed like it was only a matter of time.

Rachel, is she your daughter?

Yeah.

It's her birthday next week.

What am I going to tell her?

Tom, when did you and Sara get divorced?

Erm, a year ago.

We tried to co-parent...

..but she's bipolar.

Erratic...

..when she came off her meds.

And when was the last time you had contact with Sara?

The Saturday before last.

The first of February.

What time of day was this exactly?

Six-thirty.

She knew she would catch Rachel being dropped off after dance class.

And how did she appear to you?

And how did she appear to you? Pissed off.

Because I threatened to call the police.

How often did Sara and Rachel meet?

Every Tuesday after school.

Although recently, she'd managed to wangle herself...

..some more time with her on her own.

So I take it Sara didn't turn up last Tuesday.

No. Nor yesterday.

Broke Rachel's heart.

Tom, why didn't you report her missing?

I thought she was on another one of her benders.

She was done for drink driving a few months back...

..and Rachel could have been in that car - now this.

People don't think straight when they're unwell like that, Tom.

You didn't live with her - she was a fucking nightmare.

And I stuck it out for as long as I could.

You're Mati Sheldon's father, aren't you?

Yes.

Why?

Mati was the star pupil last year.

Only, she doesn't seem as interested this year.

Her course work has slipped.

Acting up in class.

Everything OK at home?

OK.

Thank you for your time, Tom.

You OK?

Yes. Fine.

'Love you to the moon and back, Rachel. You are my whole world.

'Can't wait to see more of you this year. Mam'.

Even in my darkest days, I could never leave my kids without a dad.

Come on.

MESSAGE ALERT

Ah, got the records from the community psych nurse.

Sara's bipolar got worse after suffering post-natal depression.

She took an overdose when she lost custody of Rachel eight months ago.

She's been sober since she was done for drink driving...

..agreed to random drug and alcohol testing...

..and as a result, she was seeing more of Rachel.

Well, everything in there suggests hope for the future.

She'd have wanted to see her little girl's face light up...

..on her birthday, wouldn't she?

More than anything.

Yeah.

I'll speak to the coroner again, try and expedite the postmortem.

There's no stopping us now, Tom.

MESSAGE ALERT

"There's no stopping us now, Tom."

.

.

The lungs are overinflated and waterlogged...

..and there's fluid in her stomach.

So she did drown.

I wasn't sure at first because of the discolouration of her skin...

..but there is bruising.

You can see the pattern - on her wrists and ankles...

..which suggest rope marks.

Could she have been weighed down?

Yeah.

We also found signs of scapular haemorrhages...

..bleeding around the shoulder blades...

..which suggests she was forcibly held under the water.

Facing up?

Yeah.

Any idea of the time of death?

The best I can give you now is between a week, twelve days.

OK.

Bring the ex back in.

Tell him it's for a formal statement.

We'll see how he takes the news that Sara was murdered.

Thanks, Laura.

We know Sara Danbridge was still alive...

..on Saturday February 1st...

..because she called in to see her daughter, Rachel...

..at her ex-husband Tom Danbridge's house.

At 6.30pm. He said that he made her leave shortly afterwards.

Her killer held her under the water.

Looked into her eyes as they watched her drown...

..then weighed her body down.

She was found here.

Get divers to search the riverbed.

DI Lloyd?

The killer's had far too long to cover their tracks.

Well done for rushing the postmortem - good intuition.

It was something Rick said.

And how's he doing?

I think he's trying to be the best cop that he can be.

He knows he's on probation...

..after he messed up.

How's your dad?

Your mum brought him to choir practice the other day.

Then you'll know that he has dementia, Sir.

That's why you're stuck with me.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I want to, erm...

..while he still knows me.

I've always thought highly of Griff.

If I can do anything to help.

Thank you, Sir.

He knew the hymns better than me.

Boss?

I've just been looking through Sara's browsing history.

Now, the sites she visited during the last month...

..are all pretty generic.

But she was on the dating app Linkconnex.

Since mid January.

Since mid January. I've been on that.

Met some right mingers. She must have been desperate.

Or she was looking for someone new...

..after coming out of a toxic relationship?

MOBILE

Did she meet anyone on these dating apps?

Erm, I'm just waiting to hear back.

Erm, I'm just waiting to hear back. DI Lloyd.

OK. Thanks. Tom Danbridge is here.

Tom, I'm afraid there's been a development.

Sara didn't take her own life.

She was murdered.

How?

Somebody drowned her.

And then weighed her body down so she wouldn't be found.

Tom, as it stands, you were the last person to see her alive.

Can you talk us through what happened on Saturday, February 1st?

Erm...

..erm, Pat from next door, she dropped..

..Rachel off after ballet.

At 6.30pm?

Yeah.

The doorbell rang...

..I went to the front door...

..and there was Sara.

And I let her in - I didn't want to upset Rachel.

I told Sara she had to leave within ten minutes...

..or I'd call the police.

And did she leave when you asked her to?

Yes.

She said she already had plans.

Did you notice what she was wearing?

No.

What did you do after that?

Nothing.

I just stayed home with Rachel.

So, that meeting at 6.30pm on Saturday, the first of February...

..was that the last contact you had with Sara?

Erm, she texted me about...

..an hour or so after.

And what did she say?

Tom, this is now a murder inquiry.

We will go through your phone records...

..so you may as well just tell us.

She said...

.."You won't get rid of me that easily".

But it was nothing new - she was paranoid.

And she had more access to Rachel...

..so joint custody was looking increasingly likely.

Over my dead body. Sara was a mess.

Her psych nurse said that she was sober.

Not for the first time.

Of course I know, Rick. I'm dealing with it.

I don't want to hear about our daughter's issues from a witness.

You should have told me.

Has it occurred to you that you're the reason Mati's been playing up?

That she's taking out her anger on other kids.

Kids whose dads didn't cheat and are still at home?

Punish me all you want.

But if she's missing me, don't shut me out. I want to be there for her.

Maybe you should have thought of that before you shagged my sister.

You've got to be firm, Helen. Or he will worm his way back in.

Oh!

Yeah. Phone me back - preferably when you're by yourself.

You OK?

No, not really.

Come on.

I'll buy you a beer.

What do you want, Rick?

Deep down.

I don't know.

I miss my kids so much.

I just want things back to how they were.

That's not going to happen.

Not with your sister sticking her beak in, no.

Yeah, she's not your biggest fan.

Or yours either.

Why? What has she said?

Tell me, Rick. I have a right to know.

That I shouldn't have shagged her sister.

She's still blaming me then.

I'm the home-wrecker.

Sorry.

It's OK.

I can handle it.

Life's not a popularity contest.

Thank God!

This all feels a bit witchy.

It's symbolic.

We're releasing this power that he holds over you.

Go on!

Oh!

Want me to do it? I'll do it.

Want me to do it? I'll do it. Ha! Ha! Ha!

We are burning this image...

..to mend the heart of my good friend...

..and to free her from a destructive relationship.

Yes.

What the hell, Mam?!

Mati!

What is wrong with you?

It was a joke, Mati.

Sorry.

Sorry.

DOOR SLAMS

Oops.

You know it's funny, when you think about it - both of us alone.

Eating ready meals.

I wish. I'm on the Pot Noodle.

Mm.

Makes a change from crisp sandwiches.

You used to cook.

Mm-hm.

It's the main reason I said yes.

Ffion?

Hello.

Hello. Oh, hi.

Hiya.

Rick, this is Liam.

Rick, this is Liam. Oh, hi, Liam.

Nice to meet you.

Erm, have you...?

I've been texting.

And I've been working.

Sorry I... I didn't realise we were still seeing other people.

Rick's my work colleague.

Not that it's any of your business.

No, erm...

..no.

Sorry, Rick.

Erm, call me.

I mean, only if you want to.

Thanks.

So, erm...

..how did you meet him, then?

This Liam?

A dating app.

A dating app. Oh, Ffion...

I can look after myself, OK? I don't need protecting.

Yeah, well, if you do need rescuing, just send me a text. OK?

OK. Code word 'noodle'?!

MESSAGE ALERT

Is that him?

Oh.

Do you want me to come up?

See you inside?

Best not, Rick.

Goodnight.

.

.

Boss?

I've got Sara's phone records.

She was messaging with a man recently - his name is Rhys.

No surname, but they arranged a date on the first of February...

..at the Angel Arms, 7.30pm.

We need CCTV footage from 6.30pm...

..and all possible routes to the Angel Arms.

She had a driving ban too, so check all buses and the taxi firms.

Erm, in one of the messages, she says...

..'Thank God for Linkconnex, Rhys472'.

Now that's the dating app she was using. So, is that how they met?

Has the dating app got back to us yet?

Do they know this is a murder enquiry?

What about this Rhys's phone number?

I called, it's disconnected.

Must have used a pay as you go.

No contract, so no luck tracing at the moment.

He doesn't want to be found.

No, but Sara clearly felt she could confide in this Rhys.

She says here, 'I can't believe I've found my soul-mate.

'Most men think I have baggage.'

Saturday nights are rammed, sorry.

She came in at 7.30pm to meet her date - a man called Rhys.

It's as much as I can do to man the bar. You should see the queues.

What about CCTV?

By the storeroom and over the till. Mainly to monitor the staff.

OK, well we'll need the footage, please.

And I'll need to see any digital receipts from February 1st...

..in case he paid by card.

Celyn?

Linkconnex have come back to us.

Rhys set up his account with them on a free trial.

They confirmed that Sara did meet Rhys on the app.

And I've got a photo of him.

Right, there you go.

Great.

MESSAGE ALERT

Do you recognise him?

No, sorry.

What does it say on his profile?

Free spirit, likes to surf, hike, be at one with nature.

Looking for a deep connection with a twin soul.

He was popular, active.

I can see why - I'd have clicked 'like', fair play.

Wouldn't he have given his info before setting up the profile?

I can do a data request, Sir.

But looking at his phone, he's gone to some lengths to cover his tracks.

Ffion?

I'll set up a national press conference for 2.00pm.

On our way back, Sir.

Thank you.

West Wales Police are investigating the murder...

..of a 34-year-old local woman, Sara Danbridge...

..who was last seen on Saturday, February 1st at 6.40pm.

She was believed to be heading to the Angel Arms, Baincross Street...

..to meet with this man, who goes by the name of Rhys.

We are very keen to talk to this man.

If anyone in the public has any information or has witnessed...

Buy two, call it a fiver.

You'll knock 'em dead wearing that, Bev.

Please call the number on the screen.

Cops are outside, Manon.

Why didn't you tell me Ffion was on television?

Griff?

Hiya, Mam. Everything OK? I'm a bit busy.

I was gardening. Your dad was watching television.

What's happened?

He's gone off somewhere...

..taken his coat and his boots.

He's not at Lisa's.

I was enjoying the peace.

I should have kept an eye on him.

Please find him.

He's got worse.

He thinks his mum and dad are still alive.

Maybe he's gone there.

OK. I'll meet you there?

I'd better not, love.

I've had a drink.

KNOCK ON DOOR

KNOCK ON DOOR

For Sara.

Thank you.

No, Manon.

I haven't even told Rachel yet.

I haven't even told Rachel yet. OK.

I'm just looking out for my favourite IT teacher.

We can't.

Not now.

I'll call you.

You better had.

Don't forget that I've got evidence...

..Sir.

BANGING ON DOOR

Open up.

Mam, Dad - it's me, Griff.

Please answer the door, Mam!

Dad! Mam!

I know you're in there!

Mr Lloyd?

Mr Lloyd, it's OK. Your daughter's on the way.

Mam!

Go away! Go away!

Leave me alone.

Stop it! Stop doing that.

Dad? Dad!

Hey.

You're going to get soaked. Come on.

Ffion!

I'll take it from here. Thanks.

Come on.

You were right, Mam.

You went over to Mam-gu and Tad-cu's house, didn't you, Dad?

How many times do I have to say it?

Your parents are dead, Griff.

Bit harsh, Mam.

Who are you to judge?

Mogsy, anything useful?

Not yet, Sarge.

Well, find out if Rhys was talking to anybody else on this dating app.

Sarge?

Yeah?

Somebody in reception to see you.

Oi!

What's wrong with you?

I know what you said to Rick.

I don't remember anyone ostracising Helen when she slept with my fiance.

It's different.

It's different. How exactly?

They have kids. Been married for 12 years.

I didn't think you'd become that small-minded, Lisa.

I want them to get back together.

OK, if you say so.

I've moved on.

I've been dating.

And I'm not still here because of Rick.

I can't leave when Dad is...

Yeah.

Seeing him like that today.

He's lost.

Yeah. And Mam's in denial.

Yes, and she's hitting the bottle.

Oh, I thought you'd gone.

Mam, I think we need to get a carer in.

To take some of the pressure off you.

Oh, I did that, and he turned out to be a potential killer.

What's even worse, they let him go.

What's even worse, they let him go. You can't do this on your own.

Are you two offering to help?

Yes, exactly, you have busy lives.

Which is as it should be.

Leave your dad to me.

Go on.

So you think I'm small-minded?

I'll remember that!

Lis, what do you make of Tom Danbridge?

Oh, God, yeah, I heard about his ex-wife.

Awful.

She was a lot, though, Ffi.

She used to turn up at the school looking for him.

Tom's a decent guy.

He's been through hell.

All he cares about is being a good dad.

OK, thanks, Lis.

Come on then. What's he like?

Loverboy?

He's handsome.

He's funny.

Trying to learn Welsh.

Fair play to him.

He's clingy.

Give him a chance, Ffi. You never know.

Hi there, I'm DS Sheldon. How can I help you?

The man in the photo on the news.

The man in the photo on the news. Mm-hm.

I'm his girlfriend.

But his name isn't Rhys.

It's Jac Hopkins.

OK, well, erm, thank you...

Nia.

Nia, well done for coming in.

Did he murder that woman?

It's all over Facebook.

Listen, can you tell me where he lives?

PHONE RINGING THEN ANSWER MACHINE TONE

Hi, Liam, it's me.

Erm, just to say...

..I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be...

..a bitch.

So yeah, if you fancy meeting again...

..call me.
