I'm so glad you could come.

This is how it's done though, look.

Hello.

I like what you're wearing.

-Thank you. -It's nice.

I had three...

What you doing here?

I told you, it's over.

Go home, Maddie.

Hey, hey.

Don't do anything stupid.

Stop.

Maddie.

Stop. You're crazy. Stop!

Stop, Maddie.

Get off.

Oh.

Whatever you think this is, yeah...

it ain't love.

Hello?

Oh, my God.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Someone!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Oh, come on.

For God's sake.

Hello?

Anyone home?

Oh, sugar.

Where's the phone?

Come on.

-Hello? -Oh, God.

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

I'm a police officer.

Honestly. Seriously.

What are you doing in my house?

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

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

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

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

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

Three Counties Police website, Thomas Lynley.

Well, what's happened?

Someone's drowned on the Broads.

I need to call for help.

Please.

Okay. Err...

I'm Donna, Donna Rathmell.

Here, you can use this.

Thanks.

You know the area. I may need your help.

Oh...

You know him?

Err...

Alex Kerne, his...

his parents own The Stracey Arms, the hotel.

God, what happened?

I think he must've capsized.

Got dragged under by the tow-back.

Where's his kayak? Sorry.

The thing's full of water.

Do you know where he would've launched from?

Erm, upstream.

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

Can you show me?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Do you mind? Sorry.

Just down here.

Inspector?

Miss Rathmell?

We just got the call.

This is Sergeant Athill.

Are you the one that found the body?

Thomas Lynley, Major Investigations Team.

What, you just happened to be here?

I was out on a run.

This is our local GP, Dr Bessey.

It's Alex Kerne.

Jesus.

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

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

I'm treating it as a suspicious death.

What?

I can confirm he's dead.

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

He has cuts to the face and neck.

Can we get them out of here?

-Seriously. Hey. -Hey.

Hey, get the hell away from here.

You put that damn phone away.

Come on, come on. Let's go.

I don't get any phone signal here.

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

I need to get through to my sergeant.

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

I know his family, okay?

I need to inform his parents.

How long have you known him, Alex?

All his life.

Everyone knows everybody.

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

And Craig works for his parents.

I'm so sorry.

Tammy?

Are, err, Mr and Mrs Kerne here?

Yeah. They're in the back.

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

Dad?

-Hey. -Hey.

-Craig. -What you doing here?

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

What kind of accident?

What's going on?

Erm...

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

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

Alright?

Steve-o. Everything alright?

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

-Who's your friend? -DI Lynley.

What's going on?

Let's go somewhere private, can we?

Yeah.

What?

No.

No.

No.

Thought this was supposed to be your day off?

It didn't quite work out like that.

What you smirking at?

Lycra.

Right, where we heading?

Sedgeford first, I need to get my car.

There're some clothes in the boot.

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

Oh, please.

Okay, we need to seal off the cordon

and retrace his steps along the bank. Alright?

-Right you are. -Yes, Sir.

That's where I found the body,

just floating in the water.

And what's this?

It's some kind of monument.

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

Yeah. Here.

Take those. Let me show you.

Yeah, yeah... start here.

This is where he launched from.

Okay.

And here...

Now, this was his.

It's bone dry.

It's unused.

He went into the water without wearing it.

And that's the sum total of your reasoning?

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

There's two sets of prints,

and then one of them, here, stops abruptly.

Look, can you see?

And then those, those are drag marks.

Also, the plug in his kayak

had been removed.

What?

He went into the water in a boat

that was basically a death trap.

Sir?

A tooth.

I reckon that's human.

Residue emanating from the nose and mouth,

classic sign of drowning.

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

What about the tooth we found?

There's one missing here.

It could've been a fall, I guess,

or a blow from something.

You noticed something?

This injury here doesn't fit the pattern.

And there's a couple of others like it.

They look older.

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

I'll need to take a closer look.

The police are sending a car for us

in half an hour.

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

She's upstairs. Tammy's with her.

I wish things had been different.

I keep replaying the last thing he said to me.

Don't.

Don't think about it.

Honestly.

He...

he didn't mean any of it.

Come on.

Did...

did Craig's dad say what happened?

Accident on the water.

That's all they know.

He loved that place.

He spent his life on the water.

Hey.

Hey, come here.

I'm sorry.

I should be comforting you.

It's fine.

You don't think...

I mean...

What?

What you showed me,

that stuff she said to him those messages.

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

I need to see her.

I need to ask her, face to face.

I'm so sorry.

We need a formal identification.

It's alright.

I need to see him.

I need to see my baby.

Oh, God...

Keira. Sweetheart, I am so sorry.

I just heard the news.

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

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

Erm, one of the builders saw the police

down in the village.

I... I want to speak to Madelaine.

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

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

It's really important that I speak to her.

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

they probably need you back home.

No, they're not there.

They're with the police.

Anyway, it's probably best that you go.

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

it can wait.

We're thinking of you.

That was Keira and Tammy.

I told them you weren't here.

She was in a state, but...

even so...

I don't want you mixing with them.

Take your medicine.

I'm sorry to tell you,

but we're treating the death as suspicious.

-What? -Erm...

erm... I don't understand.

I thought it was an accident.

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

Like what?

Well, we think there might've been

someone else there with him.

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

Was he in college or school?

He left school after his GCSEs.

He worked every summer at the hotel.

He, erm, was starting his own business.

Yeah.

It was Outward Bound.

He was teaching kayaking.

So, he was pretty experienced?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Do you have any idea who might've been

with him this morning?

Erm...

he may have been teaching a lesson.

I'm not sure.

And did he always wear a life jacket

when he was on the water?

-Yeah, of course. -Always.

He was very safety conscious.

Well, not the first time someone's drowned

in the river there.

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

Look, clearly the kayak was tampered with.

Also, he was experienced, he was an instructor.

I think someone was with him

in the moments before he died,

a kayaking lesson.

Why haven't they come forward?

Why haven't they contacted us?

Look.

There's a set of prints that stops abruptly.

And then there are drag marks.

Maybe Alex was knocked unconscious,

dragged along, then dumped in the water.

Millions cut in our budget,

this whole department is drowning.

I've got criminal gangs running trafficking routes,

I've got an increase in violent street crime.

Some kid drowns in a river,

known to be a dangerous spot.

I understand.

But I promise the press will have a field day

if we don't investigate

and it turns out a crime was committed.

Alright.

Thank you, Sir.

We should check out the other death.

-What? -You said there was a monument.

The place is clearly dangerous.

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

Mm-hmm.

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

We trawled the riverbank, no sign of it.

I've been through his laptop.

He had an online booking system for lessons.

-And? -You were right.

Someone booked in for that morning.

The name given was Adams.

I've been trying to track them.

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

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

"You are everything to me."

God, I hate teenagers.

Presumably you were one once.

Mm.

Message here from his admirer,

dated a month ago.

He was threatened.

Oh. Thanks.

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

Warham Camp, it's called.

Who's the girl?

Friend of a neighbour.

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

It's a local farmer.

Well, it's a beautiful area.

Yeah.

Now I can see why people are drawn to it.

But you're not from around here?

London, Finchley.

But...

I needed somewhere to escape to after my divorce,

so...

Do you make your living from photography?

Lord no. I wish I did.

I teach three days a week at the local college,

art and photography.

Did you ever teach Alex Kerne?

Err, only for a week or two.

He barely even started the course.

Erm, come through.

Dropped out of school.

Do you mind if I ask you about Alex?

Err, sure. But...

I dunno how much help I can be.

Well, you live closest to the river.

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

You didn't see anything or anyone

by the river this morning?

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

yeah, I guess I do remember hearing

raised voices when I was on my out.

Any idea who that was?

Okay.

Who did Alex hang out with?

Err, he had a girlfriend, Maddie, Madelaine.

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

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

Erm, she's just a bit troubled.

And would anyone going to the river,

do they need access across your land?

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

everything beyond the garden gate's actually...

owned by developers.

It's just sold.

I mean, you know about the Larwoods?

No, tell me.

Local family, property developers.

And they invested money in the hotel,

gonna turn it into some sort of...

flash spa and golf course.

Okay.

Madelaine's their daughter.

Right.

Larwood?

Yeah, it's a big land deal.

Yes, I read about it in the trade press.

400 acres, spa, golf course.

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

The Larwoods are worth a great deal, several million.

Well, that's the gossip.

Going to renovate the hotel next year,

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

Well...

Right, food is ready.

You really made all this, Tommy?

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

Well, people change, learn new skills.

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

in the bin somewhere?

Now who's the detective?

How long are you renting the place for?

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

Gonna buy somewhere?

Why?

You keen to sell me something?

No.

Just wondering if you're putting down roots here.

Follow me, guys.

Okay, step into my office.

Okay, carbon fibre.

You can see where it's been dented.

I found DNA on the paddle,

ran a test and it matches the victim's.

Well, he was missing a tooth.

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

Well, we found splinters in the victim's mouth

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

Someone attacked him.

Yeah.

Died from drowning, no question.

Lungs were heavy and hyperinflated.

The missing tooth suggests he was hit first,

likely knocked unconscious.

Oh, and also...

...there's DNA from one other person

found under the victim's fingernails.

What, really?

Yeah. See if you can get a match.

Run it through the database.

Yeah, okay.

And then there's these, unusual pattern.

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

And one of them has been sutured.

What?

He was seen by a doctor.

Interesting.

Everyone keeps calling.

No one knows what to say.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna drive down and see my mother.

I need to tell her face to face.

It feels... weird,

the way it happened in exactly the same place.

Yeah, I know.

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

Why don't you open some of them cards?

Nope. Nothing.

No hospital admissions for Alex Kerne.

She said one of the wounds was sutured.

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

Okay.

Then why didn't he say anything to us?

Hi.

Can I help you with something?

We need to see Dr Bessey.

Surgery's just closing for today.

It's not a medical appointment.

We're here on police business.

...okay then.

-Ah, Dr Bessey. -Inspector.

Can we beg a moment of your time?

We're just leaving.

Bye, Mrs Larwood.

-Bye. -Larwood?

You're the local developer here? -Yeah.

Inspector Lynley, Sergeant Havers.

And who's this?

Err, this is my daughter, Madelaine.

Ah, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry, what are you talking about?

Alex Kerne.

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

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

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

Please.

What a lovely little place you have here.

Hmm. Been my home for 40 years.

How can I help you?

Can we ask you about Alex Kerne?

Of course, yes.

Had he been seen by you recently?

Err, seen?

Emergency medical appointment.

He was a patient here, certainly.

How about in the last month?

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

I'm not sure I can do that.

Oh, we're enquiring about something quite specific.

An attack.

I'm not quite sure I follow you.

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

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

No, no, not that.

Our pathologist says that these occurred a month ago.

The skin was split.

But the wounds had been treated, sutured,

by a medical professional.

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

We can get a warrant,

seize his medical records.

No.

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

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

He didn't see who his assailant was.

Did you report it to the police?

Alex had been the victim of two separate attacks.

The second one killed him.

He was struck in the face with a paddle,

and, given the absence of defensive injuries,

it's most likely he was unconscious

when he went in the water.

The earlier attack may have been linked.

Same perpetrator perhaps.

But you didn't say anything.

Why?

Why did you fail to mention it to us?

I know people.

People with influence.

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

Well, we know people too, as it happens.

His dad's an earl,

if you wanna play that game.

I never would've mentioned it if I knew

you were gonna keep banging on about it.

Sorry, my Lord.

Hey, how's it going?

How, erm, how far have you got?

Oh, we're still just collating evidence.

You might have some information we need, actually.

Sure. Yeah, yeah. Happy to help.

How can I be of service?

Alex dated Madelaine Larwood.

Who told you that?

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

We know their relationship was volatile.

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

We know someone was sending him

threatening messages online.

Does that sound like the kind of thing

Madelaine would do or...?

Did he have other lovers?

-You don't understand. -Understand?

Okay, fine, well...

explain it to us.

This is a special community.

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

Crime rate's low.

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

lock someone up every time there's an altercation.

So, you know.

You know he was attacked about a month ago?

Yeah.

Why wasn't it reported?

Alex, erm...

he refused to say who was responsible.

It was probably just two kids having a quarrel.

Why on earth didn't you tell us?

You think a small community

can just make up its own rules?

This isn't the Wild West.

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

What the hell is happening with this village?

That's the information we needed,

two kids having a quarrel.

He never said it was Madelaine Larwood.

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

Hmm.

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

Keira?

I'm DI Lynley.

I'm Sergeant Havers.

Can we come sit with you for a bit?

Just for a chat.

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

we think Alex's death was suspicious?

This wasn't the first time he was attacked.

Someone hurt him before?

I warned him.

Alex?

I told him, she's weird.

She does weird stuff.

She, Madelaine?

They started seeing each other.

Mm-hmm.

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

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

Hmm.

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

You know, she would get jealous if...

if he so much as looked at another person.

You think he was interested in someone else?

He kept disappearing.

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

We had this party.

She turned up.

You know I fancy you, right?

She went bat shit crazy.

Cut herself.

In front of everyone.

Get off.

She wanted his attention.

She was sending him threatening messages online.

Are you certain they were from her?

A week later, he comes staggering home

with blood all over him.

He'd been attacked...

on the farm track.

Right.

And what happened next?

Steve Athill came to see us.

We were asked not to talk about it.

We?

Me, my mum and dad, everyone.

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

to stay silent?

We all knew Madelaine had done it.

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

And everyone just went along with it?

You don't understand this place.

The Larwoods could literally

chuck us all off the land right now,

if that's what they wanted.

Everyone is beholden to them.

They invested hundreds of thousands in the hotel.

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

Steve's son, Craig,

he's been promised a promotion

as soon as the new place opens.

Everyone needs the Larwood money,

we can't afford for them to pull out.

Keira?

Keira, look at me.

Do you think Madelaine did this to Alex?

I don't know.

Hi, can I help you? Hugh Larwood.

DI Lynley.

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

She's not very well.

Not a good time.

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

Alright, follow me.

This way.

Lynley, do I know that name?

Err, my family live at Howenstow.

Oh, of course.

Your father's the Earl of Asherton.

You know him?

Fakenham.

He's always at the meet.

-Yeah. -Good breeder.

He's got a fine set of stables.

So, how long have you lived here?

Oh, I was born here.

This place has always been home to me.

We made our money in property abroad.

And you decided to invest it in the local economy?

Hmm.

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

We're partners with the Kerne family.

We're investigating the death of Alex Kerne.

Sorry, I...

I... I thought it was an accident.

I mean, that's what people are saying.

Your daughter, Madelaine,

was involved with Alex?

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

Madelaine threatened Alex.

He also had multiple wounds from an attack.

Now hang on.

When did she first start seeing him?

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

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

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

and she fell for him pretty badly.

Actually, she became... rather unhappy.

She kept going out, trying to find him.

And he was...

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

didn't want a long-term relationship.

He saw other girls?

Yeah, we, err, we assumed.

So, Madelaine got jealous, hence the threat.

Threat is a strong word, Inspector.

We found messages on social media.

No other way of saying it.

I think it's time we spoke to Madelaine.

Right.

Maddie?

Madelaine?

Err, I can't... Madelaine?

Can you do something?

Madelaine!

Maddie. Madelaine.

She's gone.

Hugh.

Hugh!

Control to DS Havers?

DS Havers.

We've put out a description.

Not a lot of officers in the area.

Okay.

Urgh.

I keep thinking about her online stuff.

-Yeah, me too. -Right?

"I don't wanna live without you."

Okay, so where would you go?

I reckon I know.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Madelaine?

Hi.

I'm Sergeant Havers, police.

Barbara Havers. Can I come talk to you?

Why are you here?

We're looking for you, actually.

Just to check you're okay.

What, you think I did this?

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

I didn't kill him, I loved him.

Okay.

I just wanna talk, yeah?

Are you alright?

They were gonna send me away,

to a boarding school.

They didn't want me mixing with him.

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

And now I've lost him.

Come on.

-Beth? -Hugh?

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

I'm just going over to the station.

You need to talk to them.

You need to tell them everything.

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

Everything will soon blow over, you'll see.

Just don't get involved.

Alright?

I just saw Maddie with those detectives.

I reckon they've arrested her.

What for?

This is DS Havers and DI Lynley

interviewing Madelaine Larwood

in the presence of her father, Hugh Larwood,

and the family's solicitor, James Woolston.

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

Do you understand what that means?

I need you to say it out loud, please,

for the purpose of the recording.

-Yes. -Okay.

So, we need to talk about Alex.

I know that it upsets you,

but you need to tell us everything...

...from the beginning.

When did you start seeing him?

Madelaine?

About four months ago.

Before the summer there was a party

on the waste ground,

near the river.

We all go there regularly.

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

And you had pretty strong feelings for him, right?

What made you do that to yourself?

Was that because of Alex?

You thought he was being unfaithful?

Yes?

What made you suspicious of him?

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

It was like he just disappeared.

Hmm, there must've been something else,

something to make you suspect him, right?

What was it?

They had a special place.

They?

A place where they would meet.

What place?

The old woods.

I saw pictures of him.

Go on.

On his phone.

Naked in the woods.

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

I dunno.

-Doesn't feel right. -No?

If she was guilty, she'd at least

try and cover her tracks.

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

Tony, you got something for us?

Dr James Bessey received an official reprimand

from the GMC for undocumented prescriptions.

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

That explains why he didn't want the law

-poking their noses in. -Mm.

Oh, and a message from tech support.

-Yeah? -Alex's phone.

We got a signal. It was only brief.

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

You're kidding?

Suppose it's too much to hope someone

managed to locate it?

Like I said, it was brief.

Argh.

Argh. Argh.

Argh.

Argh!

Ben. What are you doing?

No. No. Stop. Please.

He's gone mad.

Call the police.

Alright.

Stop.

Ben, stop right there.

Don't move!

You hear me?

You're not gonna shoot me.

Well, let's find out.

Attention all units.

Armed man threatening residents at Dereham Manor.

Suspect believed to be Benjamin Kerne.

Approach with caution.

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

Don't do anything stupid, Ben.

Please.

-She did it. -Ben.

Your daughter.

Your sick daughter killed my son.

You don't know what you're saying.

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

God, no.

Beth, keep out of the way.

Last warning.

Jesus, he's got a gun.

Hey.

Mr Larwood, put the weapon down.

Not till he throws down that thing.

Hugh, please.

There are armed officers on their way,

so, I suggest you both put down your weapons.

Everyone's in on it.

That crazy girl...

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

And no one dared to speak out.

Ben, please. Hugh...

Yeah, yeah, some spoiled little rich kid

who always gets what she wants.

And when she doesn't...

...oh, she goes off the rails.

You...

We've sold ourselves.

All of us.

This whole community.

Mr Larwood?

Put the gun down.

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

Here, here, here. I know.

I want him arrested and charged.

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

It wasn't loaded.

And anyway, I was protecting my property,

as is my right to do.

I need you to surrender your weapon.

What?

And I need to see your gun licence, too.

Look, you were involved in a violent altercation.

I need to take that as evidence.

Fine.

Hey.

Look.

What? What is it?

What have you seen?

I'm not certain.

Where do you want to go, love?

-Norwich. -Hop in.

Thanks.

This could certainly be the weapon

used to attack Alex Kerne.

The historic attack, I mean.

See the shape of the butt?

Identical.

Madelaine could've taken it and used it.

Could have.

Well, everyone in the community's

convinced it was her.

Sorry, but it's still not conclusive.

Whatever happened to going with your gut?

Mm. Station, we've got a visitor.

-Thanks, Maia. -You're welcome.

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

Wrong...

...actually.

The attack from a month ago,

it was done with the butt of a rifle.

Same rifle your husband owns.

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

No, but we know she had access to it.

It wasn't her.

What?

The attack on the boy down by the farm track.

You know who did it.

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

Who?

My husband.

You're saying your husband attacked Alex Kerne?

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

The way...

the way he drew people in,

the way he...

he played on their emotions.

Alex came to our house,

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

and the host was ill,

and then the party was abandoned,

and we got home unexpectedly... early.

And?

We found Alex in bed with our daughter.

Maddie...

Sorry.

She was just so obviously fragile...

and she always has been.

And Alex was smiling...

unrepentant, like he was...

like he was proud...

like he was challenging us.

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

Do you think your husband wanted to kill him?

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

he just wanted to warn him off.

He didn't want him seeing her again.

So, he followed him home, the same night.

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

I tried to stop him, you know,

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

he jumped out and attacked him.

And you saw it?

No, he... he said

the boy had been dealt with

and I put two and two together.

And Alex was warned to stay silent

in case you withdrew your investment

in his family's hotel?

No one but Alex knew it was my husband.

Everyone...

everyone else assumed...

That Madelaine was responsible.

And you let them all go on believing

it was your daughter.

You do realise you're implicating your husband

in a violent crime?

He will be arrested.

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

He was in Snowdon.

It was a shooting weekend.

-Checks out. -Really?

Mm, Hugh Larwood was in Snowdon the whole weekend.

Balls.

Hugh beat him on the road, sure,

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

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

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

Yeah. And what about the police sergeant

and the doctor?

Yeah, it's possible misconduct,

perverting the course of justice.

Right.

Someone was with him.

The online booking. Someone was there.

Mm.

Who is Adams?

Okay, a report from the lab.

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

Foreign DNA under Alex's fingernails.

Lab got a match.

-Tammy Goodrum. -Mm-hmm.

That's the girl who works at the hotel.

Right little scrapper, our Tammy.

Got in a serious fight when she was 16.

Maybe she fought with Alex?

Right, Let's bring her in.

Call from the hotel.

Apparently one of their staff's gone missing.

Don't tell me...

Tammy Goodrum.

She took cash, too.

Right, we need to find her.

Can you put out a description?

Already have.

Good man.

What can I get you?

Two coffees, please.

Hey.

Get off. Get off! Leave me alone.

Leave me alone. Get off.

Keira?

They've found Tammy.

Police picked her up.

Said she had cash on her.

Jeez.

Hmm.

Do you know why she took it?

Where she was going?

No.

None, sorry.

What you looking at?

A photo online.

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

Oh, God. Keira, no.

What the hell? Who took that?

It don't matter.

What matters is what he's wearing.

Surely you recognise it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

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

who were quite worried about you.

I just needed to get away.

Okay, then what was the money for?

I'm pregnant.

-Ah. -I'm going to Norwich.

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

He said he'd pay but...

...now I'm on my own.

He?

The father.

Alex?

We didn't want Maddie finding out.

Did anyone else know?

What about your family?

They're down in Thetford.

The Kernes took me in.

Tammy...

one of the possible motives

for Alex's murder was jealousy.

He was seeing other girls.

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

You think I killed him.

You think it was me?!

Sir?

Just...

-Yeah? -Mother of the victim.

Urgent, she says.

-It isn't his. -What?

This fleece, in the photo isn't his.

Perhaps he borrowed it?

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

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

Please, I...

I need you to find out

where this fleece comes from.

Okay. Well, there's a batch code.

We might be able to find out

where it was purchased.

I'll get the details sent over.

Tony, what is it?

You were asking about that phone?

-Alex's? -Mm-hmm.

We got a signal, again.

Only brief.

Someone's turned it on just long enough.

Well, well.

So...

how's it going?

Are you close to an answer?

The deeper we delve, the more complex it gets.

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

Official business.

Yeah.

I need to see the phone.

What phone?

You know the one I'm talking about.

My guess, you found it on the riverbank.

We were monitoring.

We traced the signal to a mast near this cottage.

Not easy, 'cause, as you say,

the signal's intermittent.

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

You knew him?

I told you I knew him.

You knew his phone passcode.

That suggests you were close.

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

asked me to take some shots with his phone

so he could keep them as a memento.

And you didn't mention it.

Alright.

I was embarrassed.

I didn't wanna be involved.

So, you turned on the phone

to delete the messages you had from him.

Then you remembered the photographs.

So you turned it on again.

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

I paid for his time, like a professional.

Did you have an affair with him as well?

You seriously think that I would...

Spare me, please.

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

He was seeing multiple girls in the village,

he made one of them pregnant,

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

Well? Was he?

I haven't...

been with anyone.

Not since my divorce.

He...

He had a slick routine.

He knew how to make people fall for him.

I'm a college lecturer.

I'm someone in a position of authority.

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

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

You obstructed a murder investigation.

You perverted the course of justice.

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

for an interview...

tomorrow.

Oh...

Hey, Tony. What you got for me?

The fleece. Batch number on the label.

Those clothes were very old.

More than 20 years.

Night.

Morning.

Good morning.

I'll leave you to it.

Let me show you something?

-Yeah. -Okay.

That fleece that Alex Kerne was wearing.

-What? -Okay.

His mother said it wasn't his.

I got Bekele to trace the batch number.

That thing is 20 years old.

Why was he wearing an old outfit?

Right, okay.

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

Why did she ask us to look into it?

And then you asked about that death in the past,

the monument?

I looked up the old coroner's report,

I should've done it sooner,

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

That's the corpse wearing the exact same clothes.

Jesus.

Jamie Parsons.

18 years old, exactly the same age.

-Where was this taken? -Lowenstall.

Died the exact same place.

Wearing the same garment.

Maybe these two deaths are connected.

Yeah.

Jamie Parsons, a local kid.

Drowned in the river late at night.

Says here he was drunk.

Right. Why would Alex Kerne be wearing his clothes?

You're missing the point, Sir.

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

in that patronising tone of voice?

Before Alex Kerne even went into the water, right?

Yes.

Someone knocked him out,

ripped off his life vest,

put the old red fleece on him

and then pushed him in the river to drown.

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

the location, the clothes,

it's all kind of like a rest aging.

Well, thank you for...

clearing that up, Barbara.

What about family?

Did Jamie Parsons have any?

Err, mum died years ago.

The dad didn't live with them.

But he had form.

-Really? -Yeah. Aggravated burglary.

And spent some time in prison as well.

Oh, God.

What is it?

Jamie Parsons had a best friend.

Hey.

What's going on? What's happened?

Is there somewhere we can talk?

Yeah.

We need to ask about Jamie Parsons.

I realise this might be hard, but...

can you tell us what you remember about his death?

It was an accident.

It was tragic. It was nobody's fault.

It's just...

We used to go down to the riverbank as kids,

and go party.

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

my best friend in school.

We were 18.

We got drunk and smoked some weed.

And I left him there...

...end of the night...

alone.

Maybe I shouldn't have.

But, erm, as I was leaving,

I saw him slip and fall on the bank,

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

And that's the last time I saw him.

He drowned?

Yeah.

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

the next morning.

Exact same spot that Alex was found?

Yeah.

The red fleece Alex was wearing...

...we think it was Jamie's.

Sorry, what...?

You already knew?

I've been getting messages.

What messages?

Err...

Look, I didn't understand them at first.

But...

that night I left him there,

we'd been playing cards down by the river,

those are his.

The remnants of what was left behind

the night he died, they're his possessions.

Someone's been mailing them back to me,

to remind me.

Why the hell didn't you tell us?

I... I don't know.

I just thought it was a cruel trick.

Someone making mischief.

But then when Della showed me the photograph

of what Alex was wearing when he died...

And that's when you realised...

...it's all connected.

Yeah.

Somebody blames him.

When Jamie Parsons died,

Ben Kerne was the last one to see him.

Uh-huh.

Someone thinks he abandoned him.

Left him there to die.

Sir?

Inquest into Jamie Parsons's death.

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

accused Ben Kerne of being culpable.

And where is he now?

Released into the care of the probation services.

But no one has any trace of him after that.

He came back to where it happened.

We need to find him.

I seen you before.

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

You okay?

Look a bit... down.

Just, erm, just waiting for someone.

He asked me to meet him here.

Look, would you mind leaving me alone?

Is this the fella?

Okay. So, we go door to door.

Check if anyone's seen him.

Get Athill to meet us.

I... I...

I don't understand.

It's my son, Jamie.

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

He's dead.

Died years ago.

They built that for him.

-Della? -Yes?

-This guy... -What?

Have you seen him?

It's Dave Parsons, Jamie Parsons' dad.

I never met him.

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

What's happening?

It's Dave Parsons, he's here.

We think he's the one who killed Alex.

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

Where's Keira?

Keira?

Where is she? Keira?

Does anyone know her laptop password?

Oh...

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

It's a chat room.

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

Those messages were from you?

Jamie's mum died when...

I was inside.

I always thought I'd get back with her.

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

the thought of it, but...

sadly, it never happened.

Now these feelings of grief,

they stirred up in me and then...

I saw your father.

Err, what, what do you mean? Where?

In the newspaper.

Massive investment in his business.

Big relaunch.

Perfect family, perfect life.

In exactly the same spot...

...where my son was killed.

Didn't seem fair.

Jamie was good mates with your dad.

I don't think my dad ever mentioned him.

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

What do you mean?

Keira. Keira. Keira.

Keira!

Jamie drowned.

Your dad could've saved him.

Your dad...

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

Oh, my God.

You're the one that killed Alex.

Oh!

Keira. Keira, no.

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

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

Oh, I like the way that sounds.

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

She's not involved in this.

I want you to remember,

remember exactly what happened here.

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

Before you start celebrating...

...building your fancy new hotel,

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

Dave, don't, please...

Please, let her go.

Please, you...

you don't know the whole story.

You don't know everything.

Ah, no, you're bullshitting me.

Jamie and I, we were together.

We had a fling...

when I was with Ben.

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

Alex, he wasn't Ben's son.

He was Jamie's.

He was your grandson, Dave.

What?

-No. -Yeah.

Oh... please, God.

For God's sake, no.

Don't say that.

For God's sake that...

that can't be true.

Dave Parsons, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the murder of Alex Kerne.

What happened, Dave?

You want to tell us.

I know you wanna tell us.

You waived your right to a solicitor.

The drain plug,

the life jacket.

I mean, you were barely even trying to hide

what you were doing.

I waited.

I watched his son... Alex.

Watched him every day, kayaking.

It was easy.

Made an arrangement to see him,

made an appointment.

Knocked him out with a paddle.

Stripped the life vest off him.

Put him in the fleece.

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

It was easy.

I didn't know,

I didn't... realise...

He... He looked like Jamie.

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

He admits it, killing Alex.

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

he might've killed Keira, too.

He says what happened to Jamie was no accident.

He says you left him there deliberately.

Turned your back on him.

Della and Jamie had a fling that summer.

And you knew.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I was angry.

And I walked away from him.

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

Della was pregnant by Jamie.

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

Did Alex know? Did you tell him?

Yeah.

But I should've told him years ago.

I left it too late.

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

The last thing he said to me was in anger.

He called me weak.

Those were the last words I remember

hearing from him.

Erm... good result.

Well done, both of you.

Christ, did he really just say that?

Through gritted teeth but, yeah,

I think you heard him right.

Maybe we should ask him back here,

get him to repeat it.

You alright?

Yeah.

No, it's just that...

that family.

They let so much time go by.

Too many secrets.

Too many regrets.

You're a bleeding heart.

I never realised.

Mum, it's me.

Is Dad around?
