[Light rock music]

[Sasha] And what's that one?

Come on, that's the warrior,

the warrior, Orion.

He's clearly got a
sword in his right hand,

those three stars.

What are supposed
to be his belt?

Well, supposed.

Yeah, and you've
put two fish in pisces.

- One.
- Two, look.

No, I don't want to,

I haven't got my glasses.

[They laugh]

Look.

Ah, well that one's supposed
to be aquarius, anyway.

[Sasha laughs]

It is, no,

look, look.

[They laugh]

Never had you down
as a closet astronomer,

or a goth girl.

Glasses look good on you.

It's research.

If you were 16, and this
was your kind of music-

no, no, no, you're
deflecting again,

let's talk about everything,
anything, please,

but you.

I've given you my
whole autobiography,

what do I know about you,

what do I know about
the real Sasha Miller?

That you love being with her?

Yeah, it's all right, I suppose,

pass the time.

Oi!

Okay, right,

three questions, Mr. Beckett.

Ask me anything.

Do they make you work
weekends at mucos?

Sometimes, and it's ucos,

who puts an m on the front?

What about this weekend?

No, not this weekend.

You wanna come to Barcelona?

We can get two rooms.

[Light rock music]

We're finished.

Okay, that's a bit
of a disappointment.

I mean the wine, we've finished.

[Ethan] All right, well
I'll get another one.

No, I've got to
work in the morning.

[Ethan] What did I say?

It's been lovely.

Yeah, it's lovely.

Sasha?

Sasha?

[Amy] It's scary, knowing
the end's so close,

living with it every day.

By the time you hear this,

I'll be ashes.

I wish I could tell
you about Alec,

about all of this,

but you'd never believe me.

[Gerry] Bet you
couldn't do that again.

[Sasha] Who's winning?

[Steve] Oh, teen wolf.

Was that the tape
you were talking about?

Yep, I made a
track list last night,

and a rough transcript

of 16 year-old Amy
taskerland's spoken words,

or what I think she's saying.

Thought you were going at it.

Amy taskerland was killed

on the night of the
1st of July, 1983,

during the school disco.

Two weeks before,

she made a tape for
a class time capsule.

Just the other day,

first year gardening
club dug it up by mistake.

31 years later?

One minute she's
on the dance floor,

next she's on the main
steps with a broken neck.

Impact study said
that she was pushed.

Any suspects from
the first time round?

There were a couple of
lads, but nothing came of it.

[Danny] And what about Alec?

That's the name she
keeps saying on the tape,

sounds to me like
she's scared of him.

Boyfriend?

[Sasha] Could be.

"Shadows, dust,"

it just looks like
angst-ridden teenage poetry.

Depression?

A pretty teenage
girl at a party,

what's to be depressed about?

Eyewitnesses said

that she was acting
strangely that night.

Mr. Hines, the headmaster,

let's see what he's
got to say for himself.

[Mr. Hines] I looked
through the school register,

but I couldn't find an
Alec here at that time.

[Steve] Nor on the staff.

Not that I could see.

I should thank you for
getting here so quickly.

I know the governors
feel that Amy taskerland

is a tragic chapter
of the school's history

that needs closing.

The body was here, I believe.

Amy's body?

Of course.

Who found her?

[Mr. Hines] Miss
o'brien, apparently,

left the school a long time ago.

[Gerry] You got
an address for her?

We can have a look, but
I doubt it'll be much use,

it's such a long time ago.

It's a fair way

from the hall all the
way over to here, isn't it?

I wonder what she was doing
so far away from her friends?

- Admiring the view?
- Meeting a boy?

Or maybe this is the
kind of place you come to

if you want to be alone.

[Amy] By the time you
hear this, I'll be ashes.

I wish I could tell you
about Alec, about all of this.

You'd be 16 again, eh?

Oh, I don't know.

If I could get the 1.21
gigawatts to go back,

I might be tempted.

[Danny] To correct
past mistakes?

Kick Stacey craven's butt.

Ah, an old enemy.

Total bitch. [Phone buzzes]
It's all right, I'm over it,

all grown up now.

That bell's not
ringing itself, Danny.

[Doorbell buzzes]

[William] Yes?

Mr. Taskerland?

Dci Sasha Miller
and Danny gryphon,

unsolved crime and open cases.

We're re-investigating
the death of your daughter.

It'd be a lot easier
face-to-face.

And inside, perhaps.

Shoes.

Yes, they're generally
considered to be a good thing.

Take them off.

Do you know how many bacteria
thrive on the sole of a shoe?

Approximately 60 million,

depending on variables like
material used to make the sole,

location, time of year.

William?

Sorry, Mr. Taskerland,

did Amy ever mention
somebody called Alec?

Water?

- No, thank you.
- Yes please.

[William] I'll pour a jug,

that way you can
keep your options open.

[Sasha] Sir, your
daughter's tape?

No, I don't want to hear.

Then maybe you can help
us with the name, Alec?

There might have been
a boyfriend called Alec.

[Danny] Did you ever meet him?

I'm afraid not.

[Sasha] Did she talk
to you about him?

Did you discuss
boyfriends with your father?

Depended on the boy.

What about Amy's friends?

Friends?

Yes, the closest
was Harriet meagher,

a kind girl, good family.

When Amy went to the disco,

several of her
schoolmates mentioned

that she seemed distressed.

I went away that night,

a conference, in sheffield.

Oh, please.

[Sasha] Thank you.

She seemed happy before I left.

What do you think, dad?

Didn't even say
goodbye, not properly.

Was everything between
Amy and her mother okay?

This was a good home.

I meant no offence,

your wife said as
much in her statement.

Ruth passed away 10 years ago.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask,

you divorced, didn't you,

a year after Amy was murdered?

Strain.

You couldn't understand.

We both have
daughters of our own.

They're written in a language

that no one will
ever understand.

What are their names?

- Maddie.
- Holly.

Amy was our only child.

When I'm gone,

nobody will remember who I was,

or that I ever even lived.

[Melancholy music]

[Gerry] Just phone up Robin
and tell him, I don't know,

tell him I broke me arm, or
me leg, or me neck, anything,

just get me out of tonight

[Steve] It's a stag do.

[Gerry] It's a stag don't.

[Steve] What the hell's that?

[Harriet] That is my sketch pad.

Harriet meagher?

I'll give you an answer
if you tell me your secret.

What?

Your regime?

I have a shower in the morning.

You're the bitch, then?

No, we're partners,

and we work for the police.

Martin, Steven, James, Paul,

oh Matt, of course,

and then other Matt,
and then Matty Matt.

But no Alec?

No, no.

I snogged an Andy once, though,

I think we both did.

Oh, and then there
was Jason, Rick, and-

how about you just let
us have a list of names?

Of course.

So I thought Amy just put a
normal mix-tape in the capsule,

stuff off the radio,

and DJs' voices at the
beginning and the end.

What did you put in?

I couldn't really
think of anything,

so the teacher made
me write a letter,

day-in-the-life sort of stuff.

You and Amy were
best mates, right?

Practically
synchronised our periods,

spent every moment
we could together.

[Gerry] But if you
were so close,

don't you think it's strange

that she never mentioned
what was on this tape?

[Steve] Or this Alec?

Do you see where
we're coming from?

It's like nobody
really knew her,

not you, not even her dad.

Well he certainly
didn't know her.

How do you mean?

He was cold.

Not unkind, or cruel,

just distant.

I can't imagine how that
must have made her feel.

My dad was the local vicar,

kind bloke, heart
of the community,

close to everything, everybody.

Some of the witnesses said

that Amy was a
bit upset that night.

All I really remember

is that one minute,
Amy was there,

and then she was gone.

A few songs later,

the lights come up

and Mr. Hines is telling
us there's been an accident.

Hines, the headmaster?

No, no, no, he
was a teacher then,

history, I think.

[Amy] Strong, even
in the face of terror.

[Tape buzzes]

Strong, even in
the face of terror.

[Gerry] So, this is what
was in the time capsule.

And each pupil's contribution.

[Amy] Skies may darken.

[Steve] Harriet
meagher was right,

hines was there in 1983.

Slipped his mind when
we saw him earlier.

Anything else?

We've got an eyewitness
statement here,

says she saw him leave
the disco at 7:52 P.M.,

just as "club
tropicana" came on.

And Amy's body
was found at 7:58.

So he could have got to
where her body was found

in those six minutes.

Yeah, then she says
she saw him come back in

just not long before
the song ended,

but he was ruled
out of inquiries.

That track lasts only
3 minutes, 42 seconds.

Even if you ran,

you couldn't get to where
Amy was found and back again

in six or seven minutes,
let alone under four.

3 minutes and 42 seconds?

That's a very specific
number, Danny.

My sister was in the fan club.

Evening, sir.

I took the Liberty

of bringing down the results
of the search you requested.

[Sasha] Ah, there was no need.

I was actually hoping to,

well, I just wanted to...

Anyhow, there are six
alecs in the borough with form

at that time.

I think we should
look at this first.

I've transcribed
the remaining words

from the b-side of Amy's tape,

or at least the ones

the downgraded audio
will allow me to hear.

I think she's reading from this.

[Rob] The queen's speech?

Written in 1982,

to be read aloud on the radio

if a nuclear attack
was imminent.

In 1983,

the doomsday clock was
at three minutes to midnight,

governments on both
sides of the iron curtain

were preparing for armageddon,

and this speech was a key
part of those preparations.

So the words that Amy
is saying on the tape

match the words in the speech?

Well, some.

It could just be a
coincidence, Danny.

This would have been
secret at the time, yeah?

Top secret,

it was only declassified
18 months ago

under the 30-year rule.

Then how did a schoolgirl
get hold of it in 1983?

Exactly.

Let's focus on
something concrete

before we start upsetting
security services,

we need to find this Alec.

And also,

why didn't hines mention
that he was there in 1983?

Get forensics to
clean up the audio,

and then we can see
if any words match.

Yeah, first thing
in the morning, eh,

but now, it's pub o'clock.

[Sasha] Haven't you got
somewhere to be, Gerry?

We've already
warned traffic division

they might be missing a few
hundred cones by the morning.

Yeah, yeah, all right.

[Steve] Have a
good night, Gerry.

[Gerry] Yeah, yeah.

What's up with him?

He's got a stag do, sir.

[Rob] So does that mean
you're a man down tonight then?

What?

Well, you must be busy, sir.

No, I'd love to actually.

Right, let's go.

Well that's great,

very good, terrific.

I'll just get my coat.

Do you always sit
in complete silence?

No, no.

Sorry.

What do you like to talk about?

I have some amusing
golf anecdotes.

- Oh?
- Ah.

Next round's on me.

[Rob] Yes, I'll help.

Same again, please.

So, glad you came, sir?

Rob, please.

Yeah, I've enjoyed myself.

I hope I've filled in
adequately for Gerry.

Well, it's a bit disappointing

that you haven't
started a fight yet.

Well, the night's young.

[He laughs]

Actually, Sasha,

I was hoping for some advice.

Something's just happened-

[Sasha] Excuse me.

You said this
was your local, so.

Last night...

Yeah, you walked out

because you couldn't
control your excitement

at the prospect of
going to Barcelona.

Barcelona?

Stay out of this, Robert.

Yeah, Robert.

Pleased to meet
you, I'll be over there.

Listen, I don't
know why you left,

or why you keep
ignoring the texts,

but if it's me?

No, no, it's not.

If you don't want
to see me anymore,

it's a really elaborate
way of saying it,

but it's fine.

Nom no, no, I want
to see you, I do,

I just, i'm...

Whoa, are you buffering?

No, i'm...

Oh, I've never, ever made
a woman buffer before.

Listen, I can't,

Steve?

I'm not familiar with
the verb to Steve,

what is it, a secret lady thing?

I've never been called a
secret lady thing before.

Steve, Ethan, Ethan.

Steve.

No, I'm Steve.

Anyway, you wanna join us?

No, he's probably
got to get back.

No, no, we insist.

Yes, we'll have fun.

[Doorbell rings]

Dad!

Hey, dad's here.

[Caitlin] Give him
some air, Rob.

I'll go and get my trousers on.

Yeah, please.

So you're all right, sweetheart?

You look after him tonight.

What you worried about?

His mates have something
planned, I know they have.

It's a stag do,

what's the worst
that can happen?

[Steve] So what do
you do for a living?

He run's a record shop.

We're asking Ethan.

I trade in vintage vinyl.

Ah well, you see,

this is an excellent
topic of conversation,

I love vinyl.

Oh yeah.

Infinitely preferable
to digital in every way.

Really? I don't understand it.

How can you actually
tell the difference?

It's a warmer sound.

Eh, you know you're stuff.

Damn straight.

Danny knows lots of stuff.

Like how I know there's
more to vinyl than some,

there's something special

about holding a
record, isn't there?

It's delicate, it's precious.

Yeah, like it needs
taking care of.

I'm sure Mr. Beckett's
very careful.

Listen, gents,

I may know how
precious vinyl is,

I respect it, and I only
want what's best for it.

That's true, he wants
to take it to Barcelona.

- Oh?
- Oh yeah?

Well, then he should understand

that every time he takes it
out of the sleeve and plays it,

there's a risk of damage.

It might be better to leave
it on the shelf for a while.

Hold on a sec'.

Risk of damage depends
upon a lot of factors,

most of which have very
little to do with the record itself,

it's the kind of the
turntable you're using,

tonearm adjustment,
tracking force.

The pressure of the
needle in the groove.

Danny!

[Steve] Whether it's
a 7-inch or a 12-inch.

Steve!

It's fine,

they like to euphemize,
let's euphemize.

I can euphemize all
night long, by the way.

Well now he's just showing off.

Listen, it's brilliant

that you've met my work
colleagues, Ethan, but-

we're going for a kebab
later on, do you like kebabs?

Is that a euphemism too?

No, we really are
going for a kebab.

You like kebabs?

You don't?

I'm not judging you.

I've never had a kebab.

Well sir, this is
clearly meant to be.

[Whimsical jazz music]

Cheers.

[Blade whistles]

I said you'd love it, didn't I?

[Glass tinkles]

Right guys, everyone
got name tags?

Before we begin,

I just wanted to say a few
words on why we're here.

As you all know,

something very special
is happening to me

in a fortnight's time,

I'm officially joining
the standings,

or to use the correct
family name, the lestades.

Parlez-vous francais?

Now, you may not know
this, but we lestades,

I can say we, can't I Gerry?

Yeah, yeah.

We were butchers,

so I thought I should learn
something about my new heritage,

connect with it.

I hope you all enjoy coming
on this voyage into the past.

Let's salt these loins.

- [Guests cheer]
- [Smooth jazz music]

You need a bit more
on the skin, mate.

Listen, when's the
stripper arriving?

Sorry?

Well, you're the
best man, aren't you?

Yeah.

Don't worry, you can tell
me, when's the ambush?

Ambush?

Yeah, what we gonna do,

tie him to a lamppost,
Chuck him in the water?

There's a cake later,

but it's a surprise.

Cake?

What sort of best man are you?

[Smooth jazz music]

The meat's cooking,
won't be long.

Bad news:

They're not gonna kidnap
you and throw you in a skip,

there's no stripper,

they're not even gonna
chain you to a lamppost

and piss on you.

Seriously?

Yeah.

I know mate, I know.

You know, the
first time I met you,

you in your little
solicitor's suit,

and your curly barnet,

I thought to
myself, what a knob.

But the second time,

I thought to myself-

what a-

even more so, yeah.

Nothing's changed, really.

I'm glad we're having this talk.

Tonight, you've reminded
me what's important:

All this.

My old dad used to say,

"remember your roots."

He'd have liked this,

wouldn't have minded
you either, I suppose.

Well rest assured, dad,

this baby will carry
forward the family traditions.

What baby?

Shit.

So that's why Caitlin's having
her hen night at home, eh?

She forced me.

How exactly?

She sort of straddled me.

No, no, no, don't
actually tell me.

We're getting
married in two weeks.

And you couldn't wait?

Don't kill me, Gerry,

or if you have to,
please do it humanely.

What exactly
happened last night?

Well, what's he said?

Not much,

but he kept singing this song
about being king of the skip.

You don't remember, do you?

Remember what? Did he
get you a stripper last night,

is that what it is?

- No.
- Well, did he?

Of course not, did you?

I asked you to look after him.

Yeah, and now I know why.

He's going to be my husband.

He's gonna be more than that.

You bloody told him?

I bloody must have.

Why didn't you bloody tell me?

What did you do
to Paula's boyfriend

after she told you
she was pregnant?

Ah, you can hardly
notice the limp now.

And Amelia's fiance?

He says that I'm the reason
that his sinuses cleared up.

Yeah, after you clonked him one.

Yeah, and do you
remember what he,

look, look, look, look,

I didn't come here
for a row, all right,

I came here to give
you, all three of you,

a little present.

See, Caitlin's great-grandma

used to work at
spitalfields mill,

that was near where
we were last night,

and she chose Chinese silk.

'Cause it shines in candlelight.

That's right, yeah.

The old girl thought

it would only be used
for one christening,

but how many have there been?

Too bloody many.

Yeah, too bloody many.

There will be
candles, won't there?

Yeah.

[Newsreader] Here is a reminder

of what the air attack
warning sounds like.

Grim.

[Danny] Thankfully, it's
nothing you have to worry about,

just work,

or a theory about work
that no one will listen to.

You off somewhere?

[Holly] Shops.

- Well, I'll drive you.
- Ian just got back from uni,

he's picking me up.

Oh right.

Would you rather I lied?

No, I'd rather you
were honest with me.

I'm always honest with you.

Yeah,

and uncomfortable though
the truth is sometimes,

you have no idea how
privileged that makes me feel,

or how proud.

I'm gonna start gushing.

I'll spare you.

We should have
Ian round for dinner,

he's a good boy.

He's a bad boy,
that's kind of...

That's enough
honesty, thank you.

[Holly] So what
about this case then?

I've been told

to lay off a line of inquiry
I quite like the look of,

and the one suspect
we thought we had

was scuppered
by "club tropicana".

I prefer "wake me
up before you go-go".

No, they were still finding
themselves with that track.

No, you've got to go back to
"freedom" or "last Christmas"

before you can discover
the true marriage

of George Michael's
lyrical sophistication

with Andrew ridgeley's
almost clinical guitar playing.

Holly, I'm teasing you.

Auntie Jo, she was a wham!-Head.

A wham! What?

Before your time.

Auntie Jo hates pop music.

[Danny] The thing is,

"club tropicana" is too short.

Unless you were
playing the 12-inch remix.

Holly, you are brilliant.

I know.

Here you are, try in here.

This is all the
releases from 1983.

You didn't come in here
just for this, though, did you?

Well, I thought I'd
take the opportunity

to inform you that you may
well be a suitable candidate.

I'm saying nothing
without my solicitor.

You have a solid yet
unspectacular credit score,

a stable income, clean record.

Ah, you and Steve,
the secret lady thing,

been checking up on me?

Apart from those three
points on your licence.

I knew they'd let
me down one day.

We're more concerned
about you letting Sasha down.

Oh god, you sound like her dad,

or her big brother,
or something.

I'm her friend.

She's lucky.

I'm the lucky one, you are too,

but the beard'll have to go.

What beard?

Ah.

Oh, you've found it,

what you're looking for?

Yes, "club tropicana"
was released

on the 23rd of July, 1983,

four weeks after
the school disco.

Was there a 12-inch remix?

Yeah, yeah there was,

there was a 12-inch
preview disc of the remix

doing the rounds, yeah.

Record companies used to
punt them out as promos for DJs,

and not many people would
have known that at the time.

Holly was right.

Yeah? Who's Holly?

The most extraordinary
girl in the world.

Do you have the remix?

Yeah, I'll stick it
on a tape for you.

I'll need something
to play it on,

something I can take outside.

You are gonna dig this.

I stopped the tape

at 5 minutes, 15
seconds into the track.

I'm surprised you
lasted that long.

[Danny] At that point,

there were 7 minutes,
42 seconds left.

On the night, that would
have been plenty of time

for you to leave the disco
when the song started,

come all the way here.

And back again
before it finished.

I'm sure you're a lot fussier

about the quality of your
alibis these days, aren't you?

There's nothing wrong
with the quality of wham!

You're basing this
on the testimony

of a teenager who might
have been drinking?

Plus the fact

that Amy had lots of
unauthorised absences from school

in those last few months.

Some of which
overlapped with your own.

Were you and Amy going
somewhere together?

That is a very
serious allegation.

I am a very serious man.

I can vouch for that.

Why didn't you tell us you
were here back then, Mr. Hines?

I assumed you knew.

Look, is it my fault

that you hadn't read
all the paperwork?

I was the one who gave
Amy's tape to the police.

Only after a colleague
had discovered it first.

And listened to it.

[Danny] And insisted
that you act upon it.

And let's face it,

it would have been pretty
suspicious for you not to.

Anything else?

I'm sure we can
think of something.

Well until then,

I've got some new
parents to show around,

I doubt any of them would
be impressed to find you here.

[Sasha] He's right,
it's all circumstantial,

but I don't like him.

[Danny] Can we
get back to my theory

about the queen's speech?

[Sasha] Yeah, once
forensics are done.

Where did you get
that remix, anyway?

Vinyl heaven.

Danny, you didn't?

Danny, I did.

Why can't you just
leave him alone?

Gerry wants to have a look too.

I don't need your help.

Would it surprise you to learn

that I have helped
15 relationships,

and that I've saved
7.5 marriages?

I've got a counselling diploma.

How do you save
0.5 of a marriage?

One person thought
it was still a good idea.

What is wrong with me?

I finally meet
someone who's kind,

who doesn't make me feel

like I've got to put a
mask on every morning,

who even puts up with you,

and what do I do?

I run the four-minute mile.

You're afraid.

Of what?

That things will go wrong again,

that you'll get hurt

if you open up and
include this man in your life.

And you're gonna
tell me I'm wrong?

I wouldn't dream of it.

52% of all relationships
end, many catastrophically.

No, your fears are
very well-placed.

But just because
something seems inevitable,

doesn't mean there isn't hope.

And the sagrada familia
looks extraordinary

this time of year.

[Sasha] Does that look like

he's showing new parents around?

Not unless they're invisible

and taking a
particularly scenic route.

[Mysterious music]

Now, where's he
going at such an hour?

[Sasha] Wait here.

[Mysterious music]

[Sinister music]

[Phone rings]

[Danny] You okay?

Danny, I've lost hines.

He must have gone
into one of the flats,

but I've no idea of
knowing which one.

Just a moment.

[Sasha] Why, Danny,
what you gonna do?

["Club tropicana" by wham!]

[Tense music]

[Mr. Hines] Carla.

[Carla] Don't touch me.

Flat four, dinsdale close.

Any new parents live there?

Well, we'll tell you who
lives there, shall we?

Carla o'brien.

[Danny] The teacher
who found Amy's body.

Also your former fiancee.

Although the
engagement was called off

immediately after Amy's murder,

so either your
timing is terrible, or-

there's a connection.

Just like your visit today.

[Sasha] Why would
you go and see Carla

just after we've been
asking questions about Amy?

To tell her to get
in touch with you.

After you left,

I tracked down an address.

Ah, so you were helping us?

Well, thank you very much.

Not often we get a suspect

who worries about
good customer service.

Of course, you could
have just phoned her.

It's much easier

to intimidate someone
face-to-face, though, isn't it?

What?

You were worried
we'd get to her,

you wanted to make
sure she'd keep quiet.

There's nothing for
her to keep quiet about.

No?

We'll soon find out, anyway,

we picked her up an
hour after you left the flat.

Did you have time to
get your stories straight?

Because if there's
anything you've told us

that she can't
independently corroborate-

it could be awkward.

This is highly unethical.

Moderately, maybe,

we could push it up to
highly, though, couldn't we?

If we had to.

Amy and I,

she was 16.

You were her teacher.

I want a solicitor.

[Sinister music]

Amy came looking for him,

and found us together.

He hadn't told her
we were engaged.

And he hadn't
told you about her?

Do you think I'd have
wanted to marry him if he had?

So you and Amy found
out about each other

on the very night that
she was murdered?

That's right.

That would explain
why she was so upset.

No, she was upset
before she got to us,

that's why she
wanted to talk to Nick.

She was looking for comfort,

and thought he
would give it to her.

That's when I
knew they'd been...

And you saw red, naturally.

With him, not with her.

So you didn't follow her
out to the top of those steps

and shove her down?

No.

Look, she was vulnerable,

she was just a child,

I could see she
was in love with him.

I told her to go away,

and I only went looking for her

after I'd got myself together
and finished with Nick.

It was too late.

Hines didn't want her
to tell anybody, did he?

He's a lot of things,
he's not a killer.

Maybe we should be
looking at you then?

It would be
understandable, revenge.

I don't know who
killed Amy, or why;

I do know you're looking
in the wrong place.

She said she had a secret,

something she
wanted Nick to know,

something she
wanted us all to know.

Did she say what?

She never had a chance,

but whatever it was,
she was terrified.

[Siren blares]

[Announcer] Fallout can kill.

Since it can be carried for
great distances by the winds,

it can eventually
settle anywhere,

so no place in the united
kingdom is safer than any other.

The risk is as great in the
countryside as in the towns.

Nobody can tell where
the safest place will be.

So you are just as safe
in your own home area

as anywhere else.

In fact, you are far
better off at home

because it is the
place you will know,

and where you are known,

so stay where you are.

[Unsettling music]

This must be Amy's secret.

Forensics have transcribed
the rest of the words

on Amy's tape,

and there are too many matches:

She's reading from
the queen's speech.

The same department
behind that speech

also made this
emergency broadcast,

it's to keep people off the
streets, and in their homes.

There were 600 specially-chosen

government, military,
and civilian personnel

planning for the
end of the world.

All of them would
have lived near Amy,

and if an attack was imminent,
all of them would have gone

into the regional
command centre in essex.

So they wait out the apocalypse,

and then come back out
and rebuild the country?

This was far more
than any state secret,

they weren't allowed
to tell their families.

'Cause if the wider population

knew how seriously the
government were taking it.

How come only 600
people would be saved?

There'd be civil unrest, riots.

Complete societal breakdown.

No booze in the pubs.

Can we get a list
of these 600 names?

National archive at kew.

Have you called them?

They say any files
that can be declassified

already have been.

It's a hush-up.

Wait a minute, wait a minute,

why don't we look at
this from another angle,

like how do you get selected

to be on that list
in the first place?

Your profession,

would have had to have
been something useful

in any attempt to
reestablish society.

Like William taskerland
was a civil servant?

Nicholas hines was a teacher.

Harriet meagher's
father was a priest.

Many of the parents
there had professions

that would have qualified.

And they'd all want
this to be kept quiet.

Hines already has a
motive for killing Amy,

let's make him sweat.

Do we want to take
a risk on this one?

I'm focusing on what we have,

not worrying about
what we don't have.

[Tense music]

Sir?

What is it?

We think the
taskerland case is linked

to the civil defence
programme of the 1980s.

Oh, murky territory.

That's why we were
thinking about your contacts.

Contacts? Absolutely not, no.

Oh come on, Bob.

Sir.

I thought we got
closer, you know,

after the kebab, and that?

[Danny] We're
practically brothers.

No I'm sorry, I'm
out of favours.

If there's one
thing I've learned,

it's not to go
wandering in the dark

when you don't know whose
toes you'll be treading on.

Does Sasha know that the two
of you have come to see me?

Does she need to?

It was a lovely kebab.

That's that then.

No, that's this then.

That's what then?

[Mysterious music]

[Danny] After world war III,

what was left of the country

would have been divided
into 12 police states.

[Steve] Is that a fact?

Did you wanna tell
me where we're going?

[Mysterious music]

The southeast regional
command bunker is right here,

under our feet,

encased in 10
metres of concrete.

[Steve] Did you bring
those with you especially?

No, the experience has taught me

to always keep a pair handy.

[Steve] What exactly did you do

in the diplomatic
service, Danny?

[Danny] Keep a lookout.

[Steve] Why, who's around?

Landowners, game
keepers, badgers possibly,

or, if we're really
unlucky, armed guards.

[Tense music]

I'm just so sorry
about last night.

Don't be,

they only want
what's best for you.

They're not the only ones.

I didn't actually
think that i'd,

I didn't actually think
that I'd meet someone,

someone I could be with,

properly be with,

not so soon after ned.

Okay, so all right,

that's the only problem?

No, I just don't think I
can get serious again,

just take another risk.

I asked you to come
away for the weekend,

I didn't propose.

No, I know,

but me and ned,
it was a long time.

The world's changed a lot
since 1990-them-old-days.

Guess what?

Now, just 'cause
you kiss someone,

you don't have to marry them,

you can hold hands in public,

the law, they won't
touch you for it.

Look, I am going
away for the weekend,

I'd much rather it was
with you than without.

The queen's speech
was written there,

during a war game in 1982.

A war game in a bungalow?

Beneath the bungalow.

It was mothballed in 1990,

hundreds of cold war
documents just left behind.

I'm betting we'll find
something in there

that'll tell us how
Amy got that speech.

[Lights buzz]

[Steve] So this is where the
chosen 600 would have come

to wait it out?

[Sinister music]

What exactly did you do-

in the diplomatic
protection service?

Yeah, yeah, I know,

if you told me,
you'd have to kill me.

Imagine being stuck
down here for two years

with that nuclear
winter raging above you.

[Danny] All the books
you'd have time to read.

[Steve] How can you
think about bloody books

when you don't know what's
happened to your family?

[Danny] Well of
course you'd know,

vaporisation, incineration,

or, if they survived
the initial blast,

radiation sickness.

[Steve] What about all those
"protect and survive" films

that taught you to
build a shelter at home?

Yes, similar in
design to a coffin.

They were encouraging
people to Bury themselves.

Hold this.

[Sinister music]

[Lights buzz]

[Steve] Wow.

Right.

[Tense music]

Nothing.

Keep looking.

Stew's supposed to be
cooking for me tonight.

Sounds like you've
had a lucky escape.

Well he makes a passable
bolognese, actually,

the boy can clash a pan.

Danny? Come here.

Fallout projection.

They estimated a 210-megaton
attack as a minimum,

2/3 of UK homes
wiped out in an instant.

Read that.

Annihilation and losses
estimation committee.

Hello Alec.

[Sasha] There wasn't
a boy, was there?

[Danny] But there
was the ale committee.

Which you were part of,

forecasting how
many people would die.

[Danny] With your
wife and daughter

included in that figure.

I've signed the
official secrets act.

Amy didn't.

She found a draught
of the queen's speech

in my study one night,

showed it to my wife, Ruth.

It was a disaster,

families weren't
supposed to know.

When was this?

Six months before
she was killed.

I tried to explain
it all to them.

How do you ever explain
that you'd abandon your family?

Do you know what
Einstein said about it?

He didn't know how
they'd fight world war III,

but he knew how
they'd fight world war iv.

With sticks and stones.

Yes.

If the sirens had
sounded over London,

this conversation
wouldn't be taking place,

we'd be a corpse of a country,

dark skies, frozen ground.

Somebody had to
survive the horror, rebuild.

Did Ruth and Amy
keep the secret?

I suppose they thought
the day would never come.

Besides, girls are very
good at keeping secrets.

Unlike boys.

You weren't at a
conference in sheffield

on the night that Amy
was murdered, were you?

We found your training manuals.

They were just standard
stories that you would use

in order to cover your tracks.

You see, the civil defence
programme is all about cover,

the truth would terrify people,

there'd be mass panic,
they'd block the roads,

riot, jam the phones.

We know that your
daughter went to the disco

with the specific intention
of telling Mr. Hines a secret.

[Danny] Maybe
it was this secret.

Where were you that night?

I wasn't at the school.

You'll need to prove that.

A NATO training exercise
had started the day before,

codename Zachariah.

You wouldn't have found
any papers on this one,

it was a rehearsal for an
American preemptive strike.

President Reagan moved
thousands of troops across Europe.

It was just an exercise, but...

But the Russians reacted.

Yes, activated the
Moscow bunker,

primed their ss-20s,

each one ready to
deliver 100 hiroshimas

on targets across Europe.

Including London?

Especially London.

What do you think, dad?

[Melancholy music]

She knew,

there was no point
trying to hide it.

We were the human buttons,

trained not to think or to feel.

Don't go, don't leave us,

you won't, you won't.

Mum, let go.

Dad!

[Door bangs]

Our country's
future was at stake.

Your family is your only future.

Look, if I hadn't
gone there voluntarily,

they'd have sent
soldiers to collect me.

I'm sorry, I'm very
sorry, terribly sorry.

I prayed in that bunker,

and 36 hours later,
Zachariah was over,

the Russians backed down.

If only Ruth had
kept Amy at home.

What home?

Amy did what
every girl would do,

tried to talk to somebody
that she thought might care.

[Melancholy music]

- [They laugh]
- [Melancholy music]

[Harriet] Dci Miller.

Harriet, thank you for coming.

Your colleagues aren't with you?

I thought it'd be better
this way, just us girls.

You've read it?

Teenage years don't have
to be full of misery and pain,

do they?

You were so happy back then,

had this wonderful
family around you.

I was lucky.

Lucky to have Amy too.

From the letter,

I can see that you and
Amy were each other's allies,

against everything.

But do you really
expect us to believe

that Amy wouldn't
tell you about the tape,

the ale committee that
her father was part of,

her best friend?

On the night that
Amy was killed,

she had another, even
more devastating secret,

one she tried to tell her lover,

but didn't get the chance,

but there was still you.

Why hold it all back?

You do want to tell
us, don't you, for Amy?

For Amy.

I saw her running out, crying,

[Amy whimpers]

I just wanted to help.

Like best friends do.

Nobody noticed me
when I left the dance floor,

nobody ever noticed me.

I found her alone on the steps.

I thought it had something
to do with Mr. Hines,

I knew that bastard
had been using her.

It'll be better in the
morning, you'll see.

So I comforted her.

There isn't going
to be a morning,

the missiles are coming.

And you're right,

she had told me
about Alec, her dad,

she said it was here,

the end of our world.

Nowhere we can go.

Just took his clothes, left us.

"No, I'm going home."

Come with me.

So we can all die together?

So we can be
together, we can hide.

You are so stupid,
there's no hiding.

What about your dad's
leaflets, "protect and survive"?

It's a lie.

Go home, take the doors off
their hinges, make a shelter,

it'll burn like everywhere else.

"I'm still going."

Dad!

Don't leave me.

"Well, come if you want."

Your mum'll burn too,
and your stupid dad.

"At least mine still love me."

[They scream]

- [Amy screams]
- [Glass smashes]

Amy never got to face
the end of the world,

she'd been let
down by her father,

and I let mine down that night.

I came back to the disco,
and the police came,

and there were people crying

when they said
they'd found her body.

I just stood there,

waiting for it all to end.

[Melancholy music]

[She whimpers]

Sorry I'm late,
had to go shopping.

For what?

A cot.

Yeah, Caitlin and Robin.

Oh.

Congratu-bloody-lations, Gerry.

How many grandchildren is that?

Too bloody many.

Look at his face, he's made up.

It's brilliant.

Right, so what's
everybody want then?

Drinks are on me.

Beat you to it.

Eh?

Since when did he
come out with us?

Since the other night.

We can't figure
out what's wrong.

I'll find out.

Guvnor.

All right, Gerry.

Do you want a drink.

Yeah, yeah, I'll have
a pint of Jensen's.

Guvnor, we've worked
together now for,

what, 10 years?

And in all that time,

you've never been
out with us once.

You're not leaving, are you?

No, no, no, no,

rest assured, I'm not leaving.

Good, good.

And you're not ill?

No.

[Gerry] Oh my god.

What's so funny?

Well look, snap,

my youngest is
expecting as well.

Oh no, no, you don't
understand, this isn't a grandchild.

You're gonna be a dad again?

Well that's good news, innit?

When this child's 15,

I'll be, what, nearly 70?

Oh I see, so that's
what's worrying you?

What if something
happens to me, to my health?

Listen guvnor, can I
give you some advice?

You cannot worry
about the future,

you've got to live for today,

and you've got to enjoy it.

I always knew you were
the brains of the outfit.

Yeah, finally
cottoned on, have you?

Listen, this is a
double celebration,

so the same again, eh,

and two of your biggest cigars.

And it's on me.

Yes!

[Upbeat music]

Your child?

Well I think this
deserves a toast.

To your child, and your child.

[Gerry] You haven't got a
picture of her, have you?

[Steve] Oh, look at that.

- Where are you off to?
- See you later.

Bye, congratulations.

I've just gotta go and
see a man about a record.

[Steve] Oh I see, it's all
about records, yeah, yeah.

[Upbeat music]

- See you all Monday.
- Good bye, Sasha.

[Upbeat music]

[Gerry] Look at that.

[Steve] To you, Gerry.

[Upbeat music]

Hiya, how are you?

Is this you buffering?

[Upbeat music]
