Hi. Sam Wright.
DCI Braithwaite.

I had a look at your report card,
Beth,

it's not the first incident like
this in the last few months, is it?

Are you... suggesting
that a 14—year—old...?

Look, I'm not suggesting anything,

I just wanted to give you
the information.

He had been so horrible to her.

For nearly four months,
she told me afterwards.

I'd love to have normal day.

It's hard when you have the amount
of shit in your head that I do.

Most of it put there by you!

You need to be honest
with me, Karen. Or I swear,

I am walking out that door
and You'll never see me again.

What would any of us do
to protect our children?

Maybe this was just
a moment of madness.

I never saw him that day.

I don't know what to say any more,
Sally.

I wonder if you can ever forgive me.

Sam?!

Hello?

Sam?

Sam?!

I never stopped loving you.

Even in the darkest times.

I wanted to hate you.

But when I found out
I was pregnant...

and then when I lost our baby,
I just wanted you.

Some days, that was the only thing
that kept me going.

The thought that maybe one day
I'd get back here...

and I'd be able to convince you
that I hadn't done anything wrong,

and that it was all right
for you to love me again.

Sal, please. And that's why
this has to be for keeps, Sam.

I don't want you here out of guilt
or pity. I want you here for me.

Of course that's what I want,
it's all I want.

I just wish it could be that simple.

I can't pretend that Karen
wasn't a great support to me,

I owe her so much.
Yeah, OK, I get that. I really do.

But this can't be about Karen,
any more.

I won't be anyone's second best,
Sam.

Least of all yours.

Hi, Dave, what's up?

'The results are back from the DNA
test on Matty Taylor's coat,

'we've got a match.'

Great. Thanks. I'll be right there.

Hello?
'Hi, Beth. It's me.'

Mum, what is going on?
Why haven't you called before?

I've been going out of my mind.

I'm just helping the police,

answering a few questions
about Matty.

'It's nothing serious,
nothing to worry about.'

OK, so when are you
going to come home?

'Soon, love. Soon.'

'You have one message.'
MAN: 'All right, mate? It's Aaron...

'Holmes. Remember me?

'Listen, fella,
give us a call some time, will ya?

'I think we need to have
a little chat.'

It's a mistake, it has to be.

There's no mistake, Karen.
It's a DNA match.

Your hair, on his coat. So do you
want to tell me how it got there?

I've no idea. Were you
in regular contact with Matthew,

personally or professionally, in
the months leading up to his death?

No, not at all. And we know that
Beth and Matthew weren't friends.

In fact,
I think it's fair enough to say,

that she went out of her way
to avoid him.

So it's unlikely your hair could
have transferred to him via Beth.

Which means we're looking at
direct contact

between you and Matthew Taylor.

We probably just
bumped into each other at school.

Matthew's coat was brand—new,
bought two days before his murder.

Were you in school
on eighth or ninth of June?

I'd have to check,
but it's very likely.

There was a governors' meeting
pencilled in for the 11th,

but nothing for the eight or ninth.
I might have gone in anyway

to speak to the head or to do
a subject assessment.

Meaning you'd have signed in
at reception?

So, if we check school
records for those days,

we'll find confirmation
of your visit?

Oh, come on, Karen, your fiance's
already told us you confronted him,

and we now have tangible,
physical evidence confirming that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK.

OK, I met him that day.

Where?

Er, on the edge of town,
Valerie Close.

What time?
Just after five.

Er, I think quarter past maybe.

In your own words,
can you tell us what happened?

So, I saw him
on the other side of the road,

I wanted to walk past,
but he was abusing me.

Shouting stuff about Beth,
so I responded.

I shouldn't have, but I did.

Responded how?

I just...

lost it, I'm afraid.

And I grabbed his coat.

I grabbed his coat, and told him to
stay away from my family, or else.

Or else what?

Well, or else nothing.
It's a turn of phrase.

And then what happened?
And then I went home.

So? So, all I'm saying is...
erm, well...

Is what?

Well, it would be hard for you,
wouldn't it,

if I, erm, if I went back to them,
now, the cops,

and said that actually...

you weren't with me that day?

Right.

How much do you want?

I'm not talking a fortune,
Mr Wright.

Erm...

Maybe... 500 now? And the same again
once it's all died down?

Right, and that would be it,
would it?

Absolutely, 100%, that would be it.

You're not getting a penny from me.

And if you threaten me
or my family again,

I will take you down to
the police station myself,

and I will have you charged with
conspiracy to blackmail, extortion,

the whole nine yards.

We can go right now if you like.
My car's just outside.

You ever contact me again,

you'll be back inside
before you can blink.

We've made further enquiries,

trying to get a clearer sense
of what happened

immediately after
Beth's suicide attempt.

We contacted the HR department
at your work,

and according to them, you
were off sick with glandular fever

for a fortnight immediately
after Matthew's murder.

I was.
Except, there's no record of you

having visited your GP,

there's no bank transactions
at pharmacies... Fine.

Or chemists.
Fine.

I wanted to spend time at home
with Beth, OK?

She was in a bad way.

We also spoke to social services
and the school.

Both would have been informed
of Bethany's attempted suicide

by the hospital —

The school secretary remembers
getting the call,

setting up meetings
for you and the head...

a Mr Grant. Yet, weirdly,
there's no record of those meetings,

or of the suicide attempt,
on Beth's school file.

There's also no mention of follow—up
visits from social services.

Can you explain why that might be?

As chair of governors,

you had access to the school's
computer systems.

And as a social worker,
it would have been very easy for you

to amend
Beth's social services file.

And they were altered...

the system's log shows that.

Why would you do that? Karen?

Why would you go to all that
trouble...

unless you were trying to hide
something?

You just couldn't wait, could you?
Excuse me?

You were with him last night?
Fucking my stepdad.

Stealing him away from my mum...
Excuse me,

don't talk to me like that,
get out of my classroom.

Not that I'm surprised,
because I know what you are.

And I know who you are.

You're a dirty... little... slut!

We need to speak to John Taylor.

We need to find out

the exact timings of his encounter
with Matthew.

And what are your thoughts on Karen?

I don't know.

She's got no record,
no history of violent behaviour,

but she's lied to us, consistently.

And she has a very strong motive.
Yeah, exactly.

If someone had have done that
to my daugh...

I pushed her to the brink, then...

I think I'd be capable
of anything.

So, Bethany says you started
the confrontation.

Obviously, I didn't.

She claims
you verbally abused her...

manhandled her.

Oh, my goodness,
I never laid a finger on her.

And there's, what, half a dozen
witnesses who can confirm that.

What about her other accusation?
What?

Did you spend the night with him?
What's that got to do with you?

Oh, Sal...
He's my husband. Ex!

Who's now engaged to
one of the school governors.

He's also the stepfather of one
of our students, a very vulnerable,

very troubled student.

This wasn't my doing.
He came to me...

You hopped straight into bed
with him.

Without a thought
for what it might mean for Bethany,

or Karen or for the school.
No, I didn't.

Not that it's any of
your bloody business.

But we just talked,
talked all night,

about Karen and Bethany
and the situation.

And the fact that he still loves me
and I love him.

Well...

let's see
what the governors have to say.

This was always
what I was afraid of, Sally.

Right.

I just can't believe
you'd do something so stupid.

She had it coming!

You'll be bloody lucky
if a suspension's all you get.

They might not let you back at all.

I'm not taking any lectures
from you.

I know where you were last night.

Yeah, shagging her,
when your wedding is months away.

So are you going to tell Mum
that it's off or am I?

Beth. Beth!

Mothing happened last night.

Beth. We—we just talked.
Oh.

I swear, that's all.

I know I should have come home,

I know it was thoughtless of me,

and you've every right
to be angry with me.

But I didn't go there to hurt you
or your mum, believe me.

It is possible...

to... love two people at the same
time, albeit in different ways.

It doesn't mean those feelings
are any less real...

that they are any less genuine.

Bullshit.

Bullshit! You just
wanted to have your cake and eat it!

No, no, Beth, that's not true. Beth.

No, me and Mum had the chance to be
happy, to have a normal family,

and now you have come along
and you have destroyed it all!

Oh, for God's sake.

Is Beth in?

You were at home
with your mum and gran

on the day of Matthew's death?

At some point in the afternoon,
your mum popped out. Is that right?

Mm.

Do you know roughly when?

Erm, would have been around five,

because Pointless had just started
and my gran was a big fan, so...

And how long was she gone for?
Not long.

Specifically?

About... three quarters of an hour.

And how was she when she got back?

Fine.
You spoke to her?

Yeah, yeah, and she was good.

Did she say where she'd been?
No.

Did you know where she'd been?
No.

So, you weren't worried
that she'd gone to find Matthew?

No, because... erm, I hadn't told
her about the bullying by then.

Hmm... but you had.

Your mum's confirmed that.

She even told your stepdad
all about it.

That's why I'm asking you
if you knew where she was going.

No, I didn't.

So, you never had any suspicion that
she was involved in Matthew's death?

No. No fucking way!

Hey, Beth...
No, what is wrong with you people?

My mum is innocent, do you get that?

So why don't you just leave us
all alone and do your fucking job?

When I was in prison,

I used to dream of being back here,
in Keswick.

I used to think
if I can just get back home,

everything'll be all right.

I'd get my job back,
and I'll see Sam,

and spend loads of time with you.

I just wanted to be home.

I just wanted to be happy.

You're late, Hollins.
Sorry, guv.

OK, heads up.

According to his wife,

John Taylor arrived home at 5.30pm.

Now, we don't have any other
witnesses to confirm that,

but someone did call
Taylor's sister from their landline

at around quarter to six.
Yeah, I've spoken to the sister —

She's confirmed that it was John
that phoned her,

but we've only got her word for it.

OK. Ask her to come in,
make a statement. Karen Moss...

now, she's admitted that she met
Matthew at Valerie Close

at around quarter past five.

From there, it's about
a 15—minute walk to the crime scene

at Amblestone Pass. Bethany Moss
says her mum arrived home

at quarter to six.

Given that a dog walker found
Matthew's body just before six,

it's very likely that Karen Moss

was the last person
to see Matthew Taylor alive.

How would she have made it home
without being clocked?

I mean, there would have been
blood on her clothes, in her hair.

Good question,
look at your maps —

From the crime scene
at Amblestone Pass,

she could easily have made it home
only passing one or two houses,

via this small path...

which drops down,
skirts round some dense woodland,

and eventually
crosses over the river.

Now, I've requested a POLSA team
and an underwater dive unit

to explore this area again.

Guys, the missing bottleneck
remains our best bet for forensics,

given that the clothes Karen Moss
was wearing that day

were probably binned years ago.

But if we want to bring charges,
we need more.

Principally, we need to place
Karen Moss at the crime scene

at around 5.30pm.

Where are we on her phone?
Um. No.

No calls made between 3pm and 7pm,

and triangulation that suggests her
phone was at home during that time.

What about neighbours?
Did anybody see anything unusual?

Nothing so far,
but we'll keep trying.

OK, we go old school on this.

Door to door from Valerie Close
to the crime scene,

and from the crime scene
back to Karen Moss's house.

Now! Come on! Let's rock and roll.

Call me 24/7
when you find something.

And you... you find something, OK?

'It was done
very badly from the start.

'I'm sorry, but this is turning us
into a laughing stock.'

'I appreciate what you're saying...
I'm trying to be fair.'

She came with so much baggage.

I do understand, but there are
other things to consider. Look...

Sally, erm, this isn't a great time.

We were just in the middle
of a meeting.

Yes, I know, I heard, and
I'm going to save you the bother.

I resign. Oh, come on, now.
You don't have to do that.

Well, no, I think I do, Emily.

I wanted my job back. Oh, my God,

I wanted it so bloody badly...

but what's the point?
I don't have a future here.

I'm a curiosity, aren't I?

A distraction.

So, look, I'll...

I'll wait until
you find a replacement,

but after that, I'm gone.

You don't need to worry about me
any more.

Just wondering if you recall
seeing her at all that day?

It would have been late afternoon,
around quarter past five,

do you recall seeing anybody
that looked like this on the day?

Take your time. Just wondering
if the photo rings any bells.

No, sorry. OK, no problem at all,
sorry to have bothered you.

I didn't plan on doing it,
well, certainly not like that.

'But, to be honest, I didn't
really have a choice in the end.

'I'm never going to be accepted
around here, not really.'

So to reward myself,

I have checked into the Derwent
for a couple of nights.

Good for you. 'Give me some time
to think about the next steps.

'To be honest,
it has made things clearer.'

I thought I was coming back here
for my job,

and friends and community,

but, to be honest, I was only
really coming back here for you.

'I'm going to leave,
I'm going to start over,

'find somewhere nice for me
and Mum...'

and I would love it
if you would come with me.

'But, you know,
I do understand if you can't.'

I would love that, Sal,
of course I would...

'Look, I'll come and see you
as soon as I can get away, OK?'

Yeah. OK.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Suzy, give me something good,
please.

So, I spoke to a Mrs Gibbons.

'She says she saw Matty
go past her house

'on his way to Amblestone Pass.'

She often saw him heading that way
on Wednesday afternoons.

Did she see Karen Moss?
'No, sorry.'

And she said she regularly saw him
heading that way out of town?

'Every Wednesday for seven, eight
weeks in the lead up to his death.'

That wouldn't have been
on his route home.

So, what was he doing,
was he meeting someone?

Girlfriend? Mates?

Or was he just trying to get away
from the tensions at home?

Beth! Tea's ready.

Beth?

Tea's ready.

Beth?

Uniform picked her up
late last night

after she tripped the school alarm.

Wouldn't say a word to them,
but asked to see you this morning.

Right.

I killed him.

You killed Matthew Taylor?

Yes.

Yesterday...

you told me that you were at home
that day.

That you were there
when your mum got back.

I was lying.

Right. 0K.

I knew where my mum was going
that day.

That's why I went after her.

Why did you go after her?

Because she was in a state
at the hospital.

She was... she was guilty
and crying.

And then when we got back,
I told her what Matty had done,

and that was it, she just...

flipped. She headed out,
she was dead set on finding him,

and then that scared me.

That's why I went after her.

OK. And then what happened?

She went to his house,
but he wasn't there, so...

so she came back to town,
and then she just bumped into him.

Where?

One of the closes
at the edge of town,

I actually don't remember which.

And then?

She'd obviously calmed down, erm...

a lot by this point, because...

because, actually, I could
see that she wanted to walk away.

But of course, he came up to her
and he was pissed,

and he went for her,
abusing her, abusing me...

so she grabbed him, and she shouted
at him, and he just pushed her away

and then walked off laughing.

So she didn't know what to do,

because she—she just stood there
in shock.

Now, what I should have done...

is I should have gone to her,

and believe me, I wish I had...

I do. But...

but I didn't...

I went after him.

And after a while, he saw me
and he sped up,

and I thought, "No, no, no, no,
I'm not having that."

So I carried on,
and I caught up with him just, erm,

just past the Amblestone Pass but,
by this point, of course,

he's had enough.
So he turns on me...

and he chucks the bottle,
and it smashes in front of me.

And then, for a moment...

I don't know what to do, you know.

But of course,
then he's on the move again,

so I picked up the broken bottle...

and I ran at him
and I hit him with it.

How many times?

Once.

Where?

His neck.

It must have hit an artery
or something, cos...

blood pissed up in the air.

So, you attacked a 16—year—old boy,

despite the fact that you were,
what, 14 at the time?

I hit him from behind,
so he never had a chance to react.

He went down like a sack of spuds.

So that's how he died.

Flat on his back,
drowning in his own blood.

I don't know why Bethany
would do this,

but I promise you,
we're going to fix it,

we'll have this looking
as good as new.

That's the only copy we have.

I always loved that photo.
Yeah.

But, look,
the damage, it's only superficial.

I will make this right. OK.

Sally...

I'm so sorry
for everything you've been through.

I'm sorry, too.

For all of us.

So... you followed him...

you attacked him...

and then what?

I walked home.

I threw the neck of the bottle
in the woods.

Did anyone see you arrive home?
No.

No, I went straight up to my room.

But your gran was there?
And your mum?

Yeah, I—I guess so.
But you'd have to ask them.

And she's never spoke to you
about that day?

Never asked you what happened?

We've never spoken about it. No.

And you've kept this to yourself
all this time?

Despite all the heartache
it's caused?

I didn't feel any pity for Matty,

if that is what you are trying
to ask me,

no, after all he put me through!

So why tell us now?

Because you've got my mum
in for this, and that's not right.

She didn't do anything,
she is not... she's not capable!

But you were prepared to let
Sally Wright take the rap for it?

Yes! That woman has got no morals.

Do you know where she was
last night? Where?

She was with my stepdad.

Yeah... how do you like that?

Police called me
as soon as they'd picked her up.

I went straight down the station,
but she refused to see me.

Now they're—they're both in there,
being questioned about Matty.

And I...
got no idea what's going on,

much to the annoyance
of your friend, Jenny,

who's camped out on my doorstep.
Oh. I'm sorry, Sam.

Anyway, I, erm...

packed a few things.
I thought I might stay for a bit...

Mm.
..until things die down. You know.

Yeah, yeah. Of course you can.

And, erm, what about after that,

once you know what's...
what's going on with them?

Well, then, after that, I'm...

I'm going to come with you.

I've no idea how fucked up
things are gonna get, and...

whatever I had with Karen, if...

ever I had anything at all
with Karen, it is...

done, it's finished, so...

I... I want a new life,

away from this place...

with you.

If you'll have me.

Beth would never have hurt Matty.
That is insane!

Was she at home when you got back...
Yes.

From your confrontation
with Matthew? Yes!

And you actually saw her?
In the flesh? No.

Mum was watching TV,
and Beth was up in her room.

Did you go up to her then?

No, not immediately.
I was very shaken

after the argument with Matty
and I needed some time alone.

And Beth?
She came down later.

How much later?
Oh, God, I don't know.

About an hour?

So you've no idea where she was
at the time of Matthew's murder?

Or what she did
immediately afterwards? No.

No.

That's why you deleted any evidence
of her being bullied, isn't it?

Because you suspected
she might have killed him?

Do you think Beth's capable of it?

Honestly, I have no idea.

Maybe she did, or maybe
she's just covering for her mum.

But I'm also wondering
if they might be in it together.

Maybe they both went out that day.
Guv?

Hang on a second.
Maybe it wasn't accidental.

Maybe Matthew's murder
was a calculated,

pre—meditated act of revenge
by two very damaged people.

Sorry, guv... Yeah?
..but you're gonna want to see this.

50, Amazon,
they finally got back to me.

Now, four of the gift cards
given to Matty Taylor

were paid for with cash,
but the fifth one,

the one that wasn't checked,
was paid by debit card.

And we've got a name.

Just answer the question.

Was Sam Wright with you that day
or not?

Look, we had an arrangement,
all right?

He was supposed to be with me
every Wednesday afternoon,

but we made a deal —

That I could go out
doing what I needed to do, and...

as long as if anyone
ever came asking...

I'd say that he was with me
as planned.

So, what are we saying?
That Sam Wright and Matty Taylor

were in some kind of relationship?

Matthew had empty condom wrappers
in his coat pocket,

so he was clearly sexually active.

And we now know he was
sneaking off on Wednesday afternoons

to meet someone
up at Amblestone Pass,

at exactly the same time

that Sam Wright
should have been with Aaron Holmes.

Now, why would you do that? Huh?

Why would you meet someone
somewhere so remote,

unless you had something to hide?

All right, love?

Wasn't expecting to see you back
so...

Read it.

Read it.

"You said you loved me,
but now you won't speak to me."

"If you don't come, I'll tell Sally."

"I mean it, Sam."

It was you, wasn't it?

It was you.

Mia, where are we at?
No, nothing yet.

Mia, where is he?
Er, so phone signal places him

somewhere near Bretherdale Head.
What the hell's up there?

A whole load of heathland.
Ah, and the Derwent Hotel.

Good work.

OK, so that day, the day Matty died,
when we rowed at the school,

it all started because I asked him
why he was being so weird with me.

After everything I'd done for him,
why he was treating me like that.

And he couldn't even look at me,
Sam. Couldn't meet my eye.

And then he lashed out at me,

he hurt me
rather than tell me the truth.

And now I know why,
because of that. Sal, I...

I want you to know that I would...
I would never have hurt Matty...

but, yes...

I have...

I have lied about who I am.

For that, I am so, so ashamed,
my love.

I wanted to be a good husband
to you, I really did. I...

I just... I just... I couldn't.

So, you admit it?

You were with him?

Yeah.

Erm...

And were there others before him?

Were there?

Oh, my God.

When did you know that...?

I think always.

Wha... what?

Like, "always" always? Like,
before we were married, always?

Yeah.

Oh. So what was I, then? Just cover?
No.

No, I loved you, Sal, I—I still do.
Oh, yeah.

You loved me from the minute we met,
you lied to me.

I know, and...
And did your family know?

Are you serious?
No. It would have killed my dad.

Come on, he adored you. No, no, no.
He adored who he thought I was.

You know, his... his "lad",
who loved his rugby,

who always bought the first round
in the pub,

who kept the streets safe. Can you
imagine what he would have felt

if he'd heard that his...
his boy liked having sex with men?

In parks and toilets.

And lay—bys.

You know, my life here
would have been over,

I'd have had to move away
from everything I'd ever known.

So I took the easy way out.

I wanted to be a good husband
to you,

I wanted to be the man
you thought you'd married,

but I had this need.
And every time I did it,

I...

I hated myself a little bit more,
and then...

after a while,
it felt like I couldn't carry on...

that I'd rather kill myself
than... than keep living that life.

I—I had a... I had a plan.

I—I had a date. And I knew
what I'd say to you in the note.

That I'd always loved you, that I'd
always genuinely wanted a family

and I couldn't live this lie
any more.

And then...

two weeks before I was...
I was gonna do it...

that's when you brought
Matty home for the first time.

He was a boy.
I know.

A very troubled,
a very vulnerable boy...

Who I fell completely in love with.

He was... he was just
so different from the others.

You know, he was, erm, beautiful,
innocent and funny.

And I never felt ashamed with him,
never.

And everything that I wanted
and everything I believed in —

You were just willing to betray
all that?

No, no, of course not.

That's...
that's why I ended it with him.

You're lying.

I'm not.
You are.

You are,
I know you're lying to me.

Oh, Shit.

I never meant to hurt him.

I'd gone up there to talk,
that's all.

I'd told him that...

I couldn't carry on seeing him,

that I wouldn't throw away
my marriage.

But he wouldn't accept that.

He said I was hurting him,
hurting you...

hurting myself, living a lie.

I can still hear his voice.

"Why are you so fucking scared
of the truth, Sam?"

It was just...
it was all so simple for him.

You know, I tried to reason
with him, to explain,

but he was... he was...
he was drunk, he was past caring.

He, you know, he accused me of...

of leading him on, of abusing him,
for God's sake.

Then he threw the bottle at me.

He screamed at me that he was
gonna to do it there and then —

That he was gonna go
straight back into town

and tell everyone who I was,
what I was...

Dave, you go round the back.

I...

I don't...

I don't remember
picking up the bottle...

or going after him.

And—and I don't even remember
hitting him with it.

Just... just remember the look
of surprise on his face afterwards.

I just wanted to stop him, Sal.

And me?

When the police questioned me,
and arrested me and charged me,

you were happy to just stay silent?

Oh, no...
Just leave me in prison...

to let me lose our baby
in that fucking awful place?

I don't know how you could do that
to someone.

Because I was scared.

I was scared of being
a probation officer in prison

for killing a teenage boy.

Cos I'm a... I'm a coward.

I came back here for you, Sam.

I wanted our life back.

But there was never anything here
for me.

Sal. I was never even gonna be
second best.

No, Sally, Sally, Sally...
Goodbye, Sam.

Sally, please. Sally, please.

Don't do this, I can't...

Sam Wright, I am arresting you
on suspicion of murder.

You do not have to say anything...
Are you OK?

I just came to say goodbye,
and good luck.

You too, Mike.

Thank you.
Thanks... thanks for everything.

So, er, where you headed to?

Oh, just to Ripon.

Yeah, I've found a really nice place
for me and Mum.

And when I'm settled,

I don't suppose you fancy
grabbing that pizza some time?

Yeah, I'd like that very much.

Good.
OK.

See you soon.

Yeah.

Hello.
