What are you doing?

Have a good night. Take care.

Thank you.

Come on.
- Yeah, yeah.

They're still not leaving.
- None of them are going home.

I know. It's an absolute nightmare.
- Listen to that. Come on!

Come on!

It's closed, right?

You've got to go! You've got to go!

You have got to get your friends
out of here now.

Go!

Get away from there!

Lisa, we've got to get everyone
off the boat now.

Just wait! Dani, where are you?

I've been trying you for ages.

Is that Dani?
- My God!

Dani!

Dani's in the water!

Dani!
- My God...!

Someone, do something!

MOB, Kirsty!

Dani!

Mayday! Mayday!
Man overboard. Assistance required.

Dani!
- What's happened?

Dani!
- No!

This way! Come on!

Come on!

Grab the pole! Grab it!

Dani!

There he is, the ray of sunshine.

It's going to be hairnets at dawn.

Malcolm...
- Did he text you when I...?

Aye, he did.

Yes.

How sure are you?

Well, I wouldn't say it
if I wasn't sure, would I?

There's strangulation marks.

So, how soon can we make it official?

Just as soon as that damn coroner
switches on their bloody mobile.

Who called them, the coastguards?

The skipper.
That's the fellow with the stripes.

Is he the one who found her?
- No, it was a bunch of lasses.

They took some statements
and sent them home.

You what?
- To sober up.

Next-of-kin?
- Saw the whole thing.

Er, saw the body.

They think she felt in.

The brother tried CPR,
cracking her ribcage.

He would have killed her
if she wasn't already dead.

Look, can you show
a bit more compassion, please?

I think it was the brother-in-law.

So, if anyone asks our position,
it's unexplained.

Unexplained it is.

Apart from the obvious, that is.

Are we calling her Danielle or Dani?

The family are using Dani.

Then, that's what we'll use.

Who moved her?

Well, she was moved twice.

Dragged on board and then
some guys carried her in here.

They didn't want her to get cold,
apparently.

The redness on the cheeks
is petechial haemorrhaging.

The eyes will be the same.

Is that a headlock?
- No, I doubt it.

More likely to be a...

squeezed throat.

You see this here?
It's about the size of a thumb.

I see it all the time
in domestic violence.

Aye.

They just wanted to shut her up.

There's a patch missing
on the scalp, too.

Like dragged by her hair.

And no-one noticed?

Apparently not.

What was this, a corporate?

Yeah, her sister owns Varsey's.

Should I know it?
- Hair and beauty salon.

There's quite a few of them.

Right, so, the next question is...

when?

I'd say less than 11 hours.

The ambulance was called at 12:06am.

Her sister went looking for her
on the deck

and she heard some lasses scream.

And that's when they saw the body
in the water.

Right, so strangled and then dropped
or pushed into the water.

Is that from the boat or the quay?

The boat?

The skipper said barely anybody had left.

Right, well, we'll need to talk
to anyone who did leave.

Have we phoned for divers?
- Divers.

Yeah.

Poor lass.

Do you want us to just
leave your guys to it?

No, no. No, not yet.

Erm...

How do people normally end up
in the river?

Normally?

Falls from land.

Most riverside fatalities, people
are mucking about on the quay.

Could she have gone in elsewhere?

Didn't you say
they stopped off somewhere upriver?

Yeah, a round trip
to a barbecue at a hotel.

The Alanburn Manor.

That's, what, 20 minutes?

About that.

I think, if she went in upriver,
she wouldn't have been found here.

Why not?

There's the current, the rain.

A small body like hers would
have probably ended up in the sea.

Well, if the tide was going out.

She could have got dragged under
in the wake.

But then the propeller could have...

Er, she'd probably have
more obvious injuries.

Have you come across
this lot before, the crew?

No. The owner,
the man in pale blue trousers,

he's not been in the business long.

He's, er, using a lot of the lingo.

I get the impression he's...

He's just covering his ignorance?

Anything else? Any corners cut?

No, the refurb's fairly recent.

All the safety equipment's up to date.

Right.

But again, there's muttering about
guests sneaking on their own drink.

As in all their own fault?

Now, what I've seen before is the
crew serving after licensing hours.

It sounds like arses are being covered.

Get them up here, Kenny.
- Ma'am.

Yeah, thanks, love.

Thanks.

Now, is this a list of invitees,
or who actually came?

Who was on board.
- Right.

And could anyone else have got on?

No, we check them on board.

And did you check them back on board
after the stop-off at the barbecue?

I can't say we did, no.

Why do you take home addresses?

Belt and braces for insurance.

What about crew?

Well, it's just us and a few agency crew.

When did they leave?

I sent them home before
it all kicked off.

Yeah, well, we will need
to talk to them, love.

Yeah, well, the details
are back at the office.

Yeah, well, make sure
we get them this morning.

Er, was she hammered, do you think?

I don't know. Was she? Did you see her?

Well, I saw a lot of very drunk girls.

It can get a bit Wild West.

We try our best.
- Yeah.

Right.

Right, get Mark on that CCTV
at the barbecue.

I want to know exactly
who came back to Quayside.

Will do.

Now, who am I meeting?

The lady with the dark hair is Sadie.

The victim's sister.
- The one who had the party?

No, that's Lisa. Sadie didn't come.

The redhead is Paula. Works
for Varsey's. Organised the do.

Right. So, where's this Lisa?

She had to be sedated and taken home.

Right.

Have we got the victim's house keys?
- Sorted.

Er, Sadie...

I'm DCI Vera Stanhope.

I'm so sorry for your loss, pet.

I'm sorry.

I just can't believe this is happening.

Come on, love.

Let's get you somewhere a bit quieter.

Come on.
- We've got a room upstairs.

36.

37 on April 30th.

And she's a hairdresser.

Yes, she's a branch manager
at Central Arcade.

I can show you the guest list.
- Yes, please.

You see, that is what I don't get.

There were loads of people there.
How did no-one see her fall in?

Well, we will be speaking
to everyone, love.

Did something go on?

Now, we're waiting for the postmortem.

That should clarify.

That means yes, doesn't it?

Something went on.

Can you tell us what time
you last saw your sister?

After the speeches.

She was, erm, upset because
the boat had run out of booze.

So... we took matters into our own hands

and brought some bottles on
from the hotel.

Right, so, you took on your own booze.

And we'd complained to the crew,
but they'd done nothing.

Have you asked Nial what happened?

Who's Nial?

Her boyfriend.

Ask him if they had a falling-out.

He was there, wasn't he?

So, why would they have had
a falling-out?

Because he's just...

horrible to her.

Last night...

No.

The night before, us three went out.

Dani just...

wasn't herself.

I couldn't quite get it out of her.

But I think she was trying to tell
me that Nial had been bullying her.

What? It was before you'd got there.

So, what did she say, exactly?

Well, she wouldn't say it exactly.

But she made a comment
about manipulative blokes,

once they'd wheedled their way in.

You can't just assume that was Nial.

No, I think it was.

I think she'd finally clocked onto him.

She was trying to tell me.

Of course we asked about her boyfriend.

No-one mentioned it.

OK, this is said on and off.

So I'm giving you the
benefit of the doubt.

Very gracious of you!

Jac...
- They've found him.

He works at Seretso Industries
near Hartlepool.

Right, come on,
we're getting ourselves south.

Try Nial with two Ls, just to be sure.

Sorry.
- Well, that's all right, Nial.

It's a shock.

This "unexplained"
means it wasn't an accident?

No, it means we're looking at all angles.

I wondered why she hadn't texted me. I...

I was waiting for her to text me, but...

we'd had a falling-out on the boat.

What about?
- Her ignoring me.

She was just focused on her family.

Do you not get on with her family?

They're all right.

It's just...

everyone sucking up to Lisa
all the time, it does my head in.

Anyway, I was supping up with them all.

Dani was leaving me on my own.

So, I stropped off at half-time.

So, what was up with them?

I have no idea.

She's never told me.

Now, what do you think it was?
- I don't know if it was...

Look, er...

She'd been acting funny
the last few weeks, right?

She was on her laptop all the time,
fobbed me off about it.

Maybe that was something worse.

He reckons he got a taxi
from the barbecue.

Fine. I told you. I'll check it out.

They didn't have a clue who was on board.

No wonder it was all a bit "Wild West".

Come on, get in.

There's a team leader standing in,
Megan Sibisi.

Do we know anything about her?
- Not yet.

That's probably her.

Right, have a chat with her,
get a feel for the place.

Where are you going?
- Dani's flat.

Hello?

All right.

Well, there's no sign of a forced entry,

so it could be we're looking
for something specific.

Right, I want the data
off that alarm system.

And I want a family member
to ID what's missing.

Timeline.

Now, then, the last known sightings
of our victim.

There was one camera on the boat,
ma'am, near the bar.

23:13.

And what time did they get back?

They left shortly after, so they
would have been on the Quayside

between quarter to and midnight.

And she's dead within an hour of this?

What happened on that boat?

I mean, where did she go?
It's not like it's the Queen Mary.

We've asked people for photos
taken at the disco.

And what time did this Lisa
start looking for her?

Unclear. Er, apparently, she's still
too upset to be interviewed.

Ma'am, sorry,
do you want the guest statements

or the burglary prioritised?

I want them both prioritised.

Er, there were over 80-odd on the boat.

Aye, on the Quayside.

Drunks, passers-by,
late-night joggers, the lot.

Where are we with the agency crew?

For crying out loud!

The skipper was supposed to send us
a list. Chase it up.

I want to know, with absolute certainty,

who was crewing that boat
when it got to Quayside.

Casual workers on the waterways...

It'll be hard to nail down, ma'am.

Aye, well,
get out your biggest hammer, Kenny.

Now, the last 12 hours of her life.

She went to Lisa's to get ready
at around five yesterday.

Mark, get up.
- Sorry, ma'am.

It's the vehicle sweep at the hotel.

We've found the cab that took
the boyfriend back to his flat.

He left when he said he did
and went to Yarm.

Well, that's a long way to go
in a cab, isn't it?

I mean that's 20 or 30 miles.

It's got to be 50 quid.

He must have been desperate to get away.

Can you see what's missing
in this picture?

Shall I explain it to you?

There's no foam in the nasal passages,

meaning she didn't struggle for breath,

meaning that she was probably
unconscious when she hit the water.

Well, you got that in one.

Now, are there any propeller injuries

that weren't evident earlier?

No.
- So, didn't travel.

I wouldn't listen to that Marine
woman. She didn't have a clue.

She has a name.

Yes, well, I didn't take to her myself.

So, the upside is we have recovered

a substantial amount of DNA material,

particularly from under the fingernails.

The downside is we have...

Discovered a substantial
amount of DNA material.

So, it'll take time
to de-scramble it all.

Bear with us.
But like I said, definitely murder.

We've got to crack on.

Right.
Er, so I can break it to the family?

You see,
that's the bit I couldn't stomach.

That's the bit I, erm...

Well, I...

I take my hat off to you.

Door.

15 million for hairdressing?

That's turnover, not profit.

What, accounting for the taxman?
- Not necessarily.

There's 200-odd employees.
That's a lot of wages to pay.

Well, that business studies degree
finally came in handy.

They've been raking it in.

There's a boom in Botox, is there?

Well, it's just what we need
to reverse industrial decline.

To be fair,
she does a lot of work for charity.

What, as in feeding the homeless?

Or giving parties for her rich friends?

Look, I don't begrudge anyone.

Not if they've grafted.

Well, money won't soften the blow,
will it?

No. It'll buy them a good lawyer, though.

You were right.

No, Lisa.

When I saw her body, she didn't...

I mean, how? Did someone get on the boat?

Well, it's a possibility, yes.

I thought they checked people.

Yeah.

Can I ask, when did you first
notice she was missing?

Was it when the cab called?

Yeah, the cab called Paula.

We must have nearly got to Quayside.

I went to find her, tried the ladies,

she wasn't on the dance floor.

Do you have an idea of the time?

Shall I...?

Shall I check on when the cab called me?

Aye, that'd be useful, love.

She was supposed to sleep here.

She hated going back
to an empty flat after a night out.

OK.

Well, it's an obvious one, this, but...

had your sister fallen out
with anyone?

No. She didn't have fallings-out.

You're not understanding
what she was like.

I mean, she wasn't confrontational.

She's very trusting, very naive.

Tell her what you told me
about Nial, will you?

I've told her.

Come on, Lise.
You're not going to hurt her.

Were there any other fellas in her life?

No.
- No.

No, she'd never cheat.

Though he might.

I don't think he would.

What? I don't like the fella,
but I don't think he...

Why don't you like him?

Nial's one of those who has an issue
with us having a bit of cash.

We get that a lot.

Dani just...

never saw the dark side in anyone.

She gave everyone
the benefit of the doubt.

What can we do?
Do we do a press conference?

What?
- Erm, I'd leave it to us for now.

Yeah. And, er...

you might want to prepare yourselves.

It might be a long haul.

Right, you're going to need these
on your feet.

She'd hate it like this.

Am I allowed to...?
- Er, no, love.

Now, can you notice anything missing?

Why didn't the alarm go off
when they got in?

Lisa just spent a fortune
upgrading security.

Not just here, but at all the properties.

Anything not here that should be?

Erm...

Er, her daytime handbag.

And, erm, a laptop.

Like, a posh one.

A thin one.

Right, anything else?

I know you think I've been clutching
at straws, but I don't trust Nial.

Well, I won't judge you
for speculating, love.

No, you see,
I've been thinking and thinking

and a couple of weeks ago
Dani asked me about life insurance.

That was so unlike her.

She never did, like,
pensions or anything.

So, what if that came from Nial?

Now, do you know this, love,
or are you just inferring?

I'm just trying to make sense of it.

Now, why was the security upgraded?

Pilfering, I think.

Is that a big issue in the business?

There are always issues in the business.

That much money, that many women...

It's a nest of vipers.

Right, so, the alarm was turned off
at 18:02, then reset at 18:18.

Well, that's when she was getting
ready at the sister's.

Now, if that's not inside
information, I'll eat my hat.

Or the family. Or the boyfriend.

Or someone in the business.

See if they can find out
what she was up to online,

if that's possible.

And check her bank accounts.

If there's big money floating around,

it causes all types of trouble.

Now, will you just give us 30 seconds?

You know they've found out
all the clothes

are collected by slave labour
in these shops?

Well, organised crime gets its
fingers everywhere, doesn't it?

Even in good causes.

Kenny?

Background checks
have thrown us a bone, ma'am.

Yeah, the skipper and his daughter
reported a woman for harassment.

Yes?

Yes?!

Er, we're police officers,
Mrs Anwell.

I'm DCI Stanhope. This is DS Healy.

Can we come in?

Sorry, no.

No, hang on! Hang on! Er...

Well, how about outside the house
in the open,

would that be better?

Just a quick chat.

Do I look like I could harass anyone?

Well, maybe someone's
got their wires crossed, love.

I mean, I confronted them, yes.

Because I just wanted
to get a straight answer.

Answer?
- Because you lot did nothing.

They give you a leaflet
and that's about it.

Sorry, what should we have done?

When?
- Arrested them.

For...

I don't know, accessories.

They're tipping off burglars
when houses are empty.

Right!
- Yes.

Ask anyone at the wedding.

They made sure we're all
safely stuck out on the water

and then they had some lads
do the place over.

Look, I'm sorry you've been burgled,
love, but...

It's just as well, I was out.

If I'd been here...

it doesn't bear thinking about.

Look, I know it's disconcerting
and I do understand.

I do.

But you know this because...?

Because it's obvious!

Ring the other guests.

They took all our names
and addresses for no good reason.

Now, why else would they need them?

Get on to Neighbourhood
about patterns of burglaries,

see if any bells are ringing.

Do you want us to get the skipper in
for an interview?

No, no. Not yet.

Let's get her into dry dock first
and see what we find.

So, what are we thinking?

They pass addresses on to a third party,

Dani somehow clocks they're onto it,

and they find a quiet place
on the boat to shut her up?

Yeah, but is that motive, though?

I mean, to kill a lass
just to protect some housebreakers?

It could be leading to something
bigger, organised gangs.

There was two burglaries.

There could be a bit of a thread.

What have you got, love?
- I've come up trumps for you.

Yeah? What, blood and confessions, then?

No, I don't like to make it too easy.

I've only got underwater photos but,

until we get her into dry
dock, it'll have to do.

Right.

And where was this found?

Your divers found it snagged
on modifications to the hull.

What do you mean?

There's four clamps on the underside.

These scraps of cloth
were caught on them.

It matches the top she was wearing.

So, her clothes got caught up
on one of these.

What are they for?

Well, that's the question.

I've never come across it.

An educated guess,

I'd say it would be to attach, like,
a storage container.

But it's bizarre to put it
somewhere so inaccessible.

Unless they're transporting something

they might want to conceal.

Is that my boat?
- Aye.

The underbelly, so to speak.

Now, what are these for?

Only, they're not mentioned
on your certification.

So, I'm guessing they were added
in the last year.

We keep the addresses for insurance.

Honestly, ask my dad.

Well, could you have passed
the information on inadvertently?

To who?
- Well...

someone connected
to organised criminality.

We don't know organised criminals.

OK.

Can I show you an image
from under your boat?

So, what's your sideline, Eddie?

What have you got yourself mixed up in?

I never went through with it.
- No?

Some fella approached me out of
the blue, offered me a good fee.

So, I got the clamps sorted out.

I never saw him again.

The criminal
who disappears into thin air.

I've never come across
one of them before!

Check my mobile.

I must have texted him 20-odd times.

You were up for it, then?

I was having a bad time.

And, well, I...

I wanted to get one over on the boss.

I've never even seen this.

There's got to be
some kind of explanation.

Your father admitted
to being approached by someone

trying to import goods illegally.

God, this is going to ruin everything.

Does Richard have to know about this?

Only, he's bailed us out enough already.

He bought us up when we were broke.

Acted like a mate,
got to know the ropes kind of and...

Well, then he took us over.

We did the work.

He took the profit.

This is me trying to make back
what's mine.

And I...

I never went through with it.

Why didn't the broker see this?

Well, we think these were added

subsequent to you acquiring the boat.

Is this Eddie?

What's he been up to?

What's your main line of work, Richard?

I invest in businesses
I think will make money.

Mainly hospitality.

So, if they're on their last
legs, you see an opportunity.

If I think I can turn
the business round, yeah.

Booze cruises up the Tyne
seemed like a no-brainer, didn't it?

It shows how much I know.

I'm supposed to be sunning myself
in the Med right now.

Can you shed any light
on what happened on Saturday?

Yeah.

Yeah, they were completely understaffed.

No agency crew turned up.

Are you saying it was just
the skipper and his daughter?

They rang me to tell me they weren't
legal to sail and, er...

I put pressure on them
to go ahead anyway.

I've put so much money
into this damn thing.

I thought, if we let down Varsey's,
it might bury us.

They put so much business my way.

And you didn't think
to get yourself down here to help?

In the circumstances, I wish I had, yes.

But, I'm not qualified.

Listen...

I watched them.

I'm embarrassed to say it because it...

it's not my style.

But I put an extra camera
in the steering room.

To keep an eye.

Aye, there's a surprise.

Now, you didn't disclose to us
that you'd spoken to her.

Now, why's that?

Cos I barely did.

She just asked me
if she could speak to management.

She wanted to complain.
I was just trying...

To cover the fact
that you only had half the crew

you needed to legally set sail.

I'm sorry.

I just knew that we had nothing
to do with her falling in,

so I didn't want questions.

We've been rescued from the brink.
I was just looking out for my dad.

Don't give me that.
Now, look at her, love.

That's not someone concerned
about a bar running dry.

I don't know anything.

Look at her!

Hardly spoke to her, apparently.

Look, I know it looks bad she failed
to mention she'd even met her.

We know they're involved
in criminal activity.

And I could put together a picture

of how Dani saw something
she shouldn't and paid the price.

But... somehow I just...

I just don't think
they had anything to do with it.

Well, the NCA have got no intelligence

linking them to organised activity,
either.

Then, maybe we've found it for them.

It's possible, but...
- I spoke to Neighbourhood.

And they reckon this burglary
at Patricia's was opportunistic.

Regulars, maybe.

They just took stuff they could grab.

Whereas Dani's break-in
was more targeted.

Exactly.

They didn't take any other stuff
of value. No forensic traces.

So, to me,
that sounds like it's professional.

Professional!
It doesn't mean anything.

There's burglary tutorials
on the Internet these days.

But I take your point.

It may not be related.

Different MO, different people.

Is there anything on that boat
that links them to this murder?

They are trying.
- Yeah.

Well, let's see what they've got.

They've upturned everything,
bar taking apart the engine.

Well, they'll just have to keep looking.

How did that get damaged?

When those girls
released the mooring ropes,

it banged into the quay.

I think that's what dislodged the body

from where it was caught on the clamps.

So, if her body was trapped under here...

could she not have gone into
the water en route, like I said?

It's possible.

Yes.

Sorry.

Right, so we could have
missed something upriver.

We need a search of the embankments.

It may be the reason
we're not finding evidence.

Aye, looking at the wrong crime scene.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, can I ask
you all to stop what you're doing?

Drop everything and make your way
to the lobby, please.

What's going on?
- This is a crime scene now.

You go down there.
If you find anything, let me know.

You guys, go that way. And best of luck.

Off you go. Go, go, go.

Kenny...

Keep an eye on those two.

I don't want them sailing off
into the sunset.

I need to know exactly
where that boat was moored.

And what about the contraband issue?
- Well, tip off Customs.

They can push him on his contacts.
- Er...

What else can I do?
- Ma'am...

A couple of clamps
is not evidence, Kenny.

The family have done
a social media appeal.

You are kidding me!

'Someone must know the truth
of what happened to my sister.'

Looking at the comments,
I think it's snowballed.

Now, did they reveal anything
they shouldn't have?

Things only the killer might have known?

I don't think so.

But it has produced a witness.

What, linked to the suspects?
- Linked to the victim.

Someone who saw her
the night before she died.

Now, is this a real witness
or a time-waster?

OK. Call Aiden.

Tell him to meet us there.
- All right.

Ma'am...

You're the detectives, aren't you?

Well, your...

picture's on the web page.

She was stood out there a good
15 minutes, just staring at us.

What time was this?
- Late.

11-ish.

We were here all night,
changing the display.

She took a photo of outside.

Have any of these shops
ever been hairdressers?

No. Nothing that high-end.

Does anyone here know her?
- No. I asked.

No-one had clapped eyes on her
until then.

I wouldn't have remembered
if I'd not seen the appeal.

Did you speak to her?

No.

I went outside
to see if she was all right, but...

when she saw me coming,
she just got in the car and left.

Run her plates through the cameras
on Gladstone Road

around 11pm on Friday.

Yeah, 24 hours before time of death.

OK, Jac. We're on our way.

Look, I don't care
how many brides are turning up!

They're shutting the whole thing down.

So, her car was near here
about the time the lady said.

So, she came here direct,

after having a drink with
her sister and the mate.

Right.

They've found hairs
close to where the boat was moored.

It was just, like, down to here.

DC Williams...

Has she told us what we need to know?

Yes, ma'am.
- Then, get her off the crime scene.

Well, at least we can rule her out
as a suspect.

What?
- The spycam.

Her and her dad are in the cabin
for the duration they're moored up.

Neither get off the boat.

What, not even for a few minutes?
- No.

Let's say the barbecue is winding up.

It'll be dark.

People go back on board.

And she comes...

down here.

The poor lass.

The last moments of her life,
pegged out like dot to dot.

Right, so, let's say the first
confrontation happens here.

But most of the encounter...

happens here.

Maybe she tried to run off
and she is dragged back by her hair.

All the way down here

she is dragged to the water's edge...

where she's strangled...

and dropped into the water
with her heart still beating.

Why did no-one hear her scream?

The engine revving up.

Some kind of noise from the boat.

The disco starting up.

Aye, the disco.

So, she's dropped off the bottles
of booze and gets back off.

And she's come back along here...

to meet her killer.

Meanwhile...

the gangplank's pulled up.

Dumped into the river...

and she gets caught on the bottom
of the boat as it passes over her.

What makes her get off?

The boyfriend leaving at half-time?

He would have known the alarm.
- Aye, he did.

And he hinted at some affair, didn't he?

So, is that what all this says?

A couple's row that turns nasty?

I mean, this...

this is rage, isn't it?

But dropping her in the water...

that's calculated.

Now, there are other ways.

He could have given her a smack
and then walked off.

But, no.

Whoever did this
made sure the job was done.

A random attack, that doesn't appeal?

It's possible, of course.

It's possible a psychopath
just happened to be passing by.

It's public access.

No, you're right.

Maybe the poor lass just walked

headlong into something without a clue.

Ma'am...

Kenny called.

We think we've found her bag.

They drain this twice a year
as a training exercise.

The bag got caught in the grid.

Yeah, but I bet they thought
this would never be found.

Right.

Laptop there.

The laptop,
any chance of retrieving anything?

Well, a quick blow-dry
and Bob's your uncle.

Shut up. I'm serious.
- Well, so am I.

If it was switched off
when it went into the water,

then we might get something.

Right.
- And this bag is pretty sturdy.

And there's me thinking
designer gear's a rip-off.

Bag it.
- Right, Aiden...

This is en route for the boyfriend,
isn't it?

That cab to Yarm,
you'd come right past this.

Yeah, this is his route into work.

Aye.

He suspects her of cheating,

stole the laptop before the party,

confronts her with it
and somehow kills her

and then dumps it here.

Why would I go to the Tees Barrage?

Just one line of questioning.

It concerns her laptop.

Is this a DNA thing?

My DNA will be on her laptop definitely.

No, it's not about DNA, love.

Did you ever bully Danielle?

No.
- Are you sure about that?

Are you saying I did?
- Do you know who did bully her?

Why you are we even talking about
bullying? Nobody bullied her!

Is it her family saying this?

It's just we have a witness
who said she felt bullied...

No way!
- ..by someone.

Dani wasn't a doormat.

She stood up to people.
You're looking at the wrong guy.

Am I?

Look...

I'm not saying
we were going to last for ever.

But I loved her.

And I didn't push her off a boat.

Ma'am...

Don't tell me.
None of his DNA on the body.

Well, some of his DNA on the body.

But not as much on the body
as of other people.

Some ID'd, some not.

So, it wouldn't stand
up in a million years.

Kenny, come through for me.
Give me his motive.

What was Dani up to online?

Well, nothing to suggest an affair.

Er, not password protected.

No hidden e-mail account.
No private browser.

So, we've got nothing.

Other than the fact his cab was sort
of near where the bag was found.

Not quite.

You know you asked us to look into
what she was up to money-wise?

Yeah, what?

Well, she was researching a firm
called Holt & Reid

for life insurance.

Which struck me as odd.

Well, it could just be being sensible.

No, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Now, she wasn't the type, was she,
according to Sadie?

I mean, she had no dependents.

She was living rent-free
in her sister's flat.

No, I think Kenny's right.

I think that sounds dodgy.

Jac?

'Ma'am, we've got a witness from
the barbecue who says she saw Dani.'

At Alanburn?
- 'Yes.

'A waitress.'
- Well done, pet.

She's found a waitress who remembers her.

It's just through here.

I'm really sorry
I didn't come forward yesterday.

No, love. That's not unusual.

People don't always put
two and two together.

Actually, it's more that I...

didn't want to bad-mouth someone
who'd just been...

Was she murdered?

Everyone's saying that,
but I heard it was an accident.

No, she was murdered, love.

So, what was your interaction?

I had a run-in with her.

Probably about an hour
before she was found.

What kind of run-in?

Er, I shouted at her and, erm...

I swore at her.

Right.

So, er, what were the circumstances?

I thought she was trying to get me
to shut up.

Why?

I was doing the champagne at the barbecue

and some guy put his hands
on my backside.

He was drunk, but I wasn't happy.

Well, technically,
that is a sexual assault.

I know!

It really hacked me off.
- Aye, it would.

Obviously, it happens sometimes.

But this guy was just
laughing it off and I saw red.

Anyway, I wanted him chucked out
and she...

Her name's Danielle, right?
- That's right.

Danielle tried to smooth things over.

Offered me a cab home,
said she'd make up the wages.

And you thought
she was trying to shut you up.

Yes.

The way they spoke about it
made me think I wasn't the first.

Right. So, you think she knew this fella.

Can you give us a description?

Yeah, of course.

Or I could just show you him.

This guy.

He's got no previous convictions?
- No.

And there's no intelligence.

We also checked the Sex Offenders'
Register. Nothing.

Yeah, and Clare's Law enquiries.
But there's only really work stuff.

He runs the training side
of the business.

Him and Dani did it together.
Instilling brand values.

Brand values?

Don't mention that upstairs,
they'll want us to get some.

Well, just arrest him
on suspicion of sexual assault

and bring it round to the murder.

Well, if I'm going
to confront him, Kenny,

I'll want him unprepared.

The way things are, he'll get wind of it.

They're talking to each other online.

The perils of social media?

Is there anyone on the inside
we could approach?

There's Megan at Varsey's.

Can I get you a glass of champagne?
- Yeah, OK.

I wondered when it would be my turn.

It's just a chat.

It's just a background, love.

Shall we...?

I find him disgusting.

But, hand on heart,
some people find him funny.

So, are you saying sexual assault
is routine?

See, I wouldn't call them assaults.

It's just part and parcel
of working here.

If you want your NVQ, you just put up.

I mean, let's face it,
he only does the training

to hang around
with a load of 19-year-olds.

Was Danielle aware of this?

I don't know.

She was big on the family
showing a united front, but...

she did stick up for us
behind closed doors, as a rule.

But not on this.
- No.

But persistent harassment
wasn't something that was discussed?

Like I say...

a lot of people think Ross is funny.

I don't know.

Maybe they paid some people off.

They're not shy of bunging the brown
envelopes at the end of the week.

So, cash was being handed out?

Was it to silence complaints?

Maybe.

But then again, it could be nothing.

They're always flinging perks
at their favourites.

Usually the youngest and dumbest.

It's just how it works.

I want to defend myself.

I still suggest you choose "no comment".

But they're intimating all sorts.
- Maybe we take a break.

No! No breaks.

I won't be marked down as a pervert.

So, you're denying the allegation
of sexual assault on Marina Dinuk?

Who?

The waitress serving champagne
at the barbecue.

Of course I deny it.

OK, so, let's move on.

Now, we've a witness who alleges

you persistently sexually harass
junior members of staff

at Varsey's Health And Beauty business.

No. Never.

I have a laugh with people.

I've never harassed anyone.

Are you denying you've sexually
touched a number of women?

I may have...

I might have touched them.
It's not sexual.

It's... jokey.

Do they feel that way?

Yes, OK, right. A few have not liked it.

I understand that.

And are these the ones
who've been paid off?

No. It's just never come to that.

Look, I know I'm a fool
and I should have known better.

It's just a bit of fun, really.

You don't understand.
Lisa's a high-profile woman.

She's very busy.
She doesn't have much downtime.

What, so you feel neglected?

So that justifies it.

Well, now, I think I've heard everything.

So, let's get back to Marina Dinuk.

The waitress?

The very one.

Now, did you and Dani fall out
at the party over your behaviour?

We didn't fall out.
She gave me a talking-to.

So why did you conceal this
talking-to when we first spoke?

I would have thought that was obvious.

This talking-to, did it result
in a physical encounter or a fight?

No!

No, I wouldn't lay a finger on Dani.

I risked my life to try and save her.

I did CPR.

Is that why your DNA
is on these areas of her body?

Obviously, yeah.

Obviously, it is.

It's not obvious to me, pet.

It's not obvious at all.

Are you looking for me?

I'm with the trustees.

Are you not aware your husband's
been taken into custody?

What?

Why did nobody call me?

Are you going to release her body?

They think it might be another week,
but I'll go and check.

You'll have to forgive me, it's
the only way I'm getting through.

Would you...?
- Not on duty, pet.

So, you're aware of these rumours
about your husband's behaviour?

Of course.

What do you make of them?

I assumed it was people
trying to get money off us.

We have more than others.

People want their slice.

Turnover increases,
spitefulness increases.

So, you think there's no truth to it.

No.

It's complete and utter rubbish.

Were you aware
of the allegation on the night?

No.

No, it doesn't surprise me
it's coming out now.

Why not?

People try it on when you're vulnerable.

Normally, it's water
off a duck's back, but...

with Dani...

I don't think I can take much more.

Look, is there anything more
you can tell us

about this set-to
between Dani and your husband?

Anything at all?

If there was anything...

anything, I'd tell you.

Only, we've a witness...

who said Dani was concerned
recently about a family issue.

And we think it's about
your husband's behaviour.

He concealed the argument with Dani.

He didn't conceal it.

He didn't want to upset anyone
by bringing it up.

Ross loved Dani.

Now, why do you think
he jumped in after her?

Were you aware
of your husband's movements

for the duration of the party?

Yeah. We were together.

But you said you went looking
for Dani on your own.

OK, maybe for a few minutes.

If he pushed her off a boat,
I'd know about it.

Believe me,
nothing he does escapes my notice.

Burying her head in the sand.

She sees it but doesn't see it.

It could be a bluff.
Or she could be involved herself.

Yeah, maybe. But...

somehow, I don't think so.

I'll never cease to be amazed

at the lengths some women go to
to protect their men.

If I say maternal instinct,
are you going to hit me?

No. You could well be right.

There's got to be
some explanation for it.

Other than being completely stupid.

And she's not that.

Ma'am. You need to call Jac.

And, er, this was going cold
on your desk.

Kenny, you're a life-saver.

No corporate hospitality, then?
- No, I'm afraid not.

'Jac, you wanted me?'
- Yeah.

I don't think it was her online
activity that was significant.

It was what was on her hard drive.

'So, what's on it?'

It looks like she was keeping
some kind of record

on payments to female employees.

'Yeah? How many? Can you have a look?'

Er, can you go to the next page, please?

OK, so, here's what Dani does.

She does all her research
behind closed doors

and then presents it to Lisa.

OK, so, the obvious one is...

Ross clocked
that she was gathering evidence

to expose him to his wife.
- That's possible, isn't it?

It might explain why that laptop
ended up in the river.

Now, let's go through this list of girls.

Divvy it up
and let's start ringing round.

I've not had much joy in making
contact with the employees.

It's not clear that the details
are kept up to date.

Well, we've got the addresses,

haven't we?
- Yeah.

Well, call me old-fashioned,
but can't we just turn up?

We're looking for Amelia Garwood.

She's just in there.

Morning. This is DCI Stanhope.

I'm DS Healy
from Northumberland And City Police.

Can you confirm your name and postcode?

Amelia Leone Garwood, NE17 4RG.

You're definitely the right person.

Not easy to track down.

What's this about?

Well, you will have read about
the lady we found dead on Quayside.

What, the lass
who was pushed off the boat?

Aye, that's the one.

Awful.

I don't know anything about it.

What, so no-one at Varsey's
is talking about it?

I don't know anyone at Varsey's.

But did you not work there?
- No.

I applied, but they never gave me a job.

So, did you do the recruitment day?

No.

I just uploaded an application.

I gave them
all my contacts and references,

but I didn't even get an interview.

Which, to be honest, really upset me,

because the money and benefits
package looked amazing.

She barely even gives me a dinner break.

So, what was so amazing
about the benefits package, love?

'Ma'am?'

Kenny, that life insurance company
Dani checked out.

Something and Reid, was it?

'Holt & Reid, ma'am.'
- Aye, that's it.

So, what's the address?
I want to pay them a visit.

'It's Mangrove House in Cowgate.'

You're kidding me!

I thought they were a decorator's.

No, that's 67.

We're looking for 67A.

The insurance company.

Next one along, maybe?

Insurers doesn't ring a bell.

I'm pretty certain
there was only one tenant

and they were in property clearances.

When did they move out?

Er...

a couple of weeks ago.

Well, definitely used by someone.

Yeah, a voice on the phone.

Stop the post piling up.

They left in a hurry.

I'd say Holt & Reid Insurance

is nothing more than a logo
and a website.

And that's why Dani came looking.

Now, don't be fooled by this.

It's not a company.

It's a set-up for moving money around.

Now, the question is,
who set it up and why?

Varsey's themselves have done it
to hide harassment payoffs.

Yeah, well, maybe.

But it's a pretty complicated way
to go about it, isn't it?

Now, 24 hours before she died,

Dani was in a bar
with her nearest and dearest

and she touched upon manipulation.

She didn't elaborate,
but maybe someone clocked it.

Check it out.

And then she goes here.

Late at night.

I reckon we should see more
employees, not the bigwigs.

There's 200 of them.
They'd get wind of it.

Well, if there are 200 employees,

why were there only 80 at that party?

Well, maybe it was for the in-crowd.

Or maybe there are only 80 employees.

Maybe the rest
are just names on a payroll.

A fake company, fake employees.

I mean, it makes sense.

A good way to cipher money.

Pay people who don't exist
or won't ask questions.

Aye, look at the lass in Babywear.

They take her ID, then reel her in
with the promise of a job.

And how many staff are there

with life insurance
they barely understand?

No, you're right.
Young women on short contracts

won't necessarily know
that they're being used.

Aye, target the youngest
and the most vulnerable.

A good way to cook your books.
- Exactly.

So, what if this is not about
sexual harassment at all?

What if it's about
good old-fashioned fraud?

This is absolutely ridiculous.

There's no need.
- I'll take her to the car.

This way, madam.

Watch your head.

First, my husband, and now me!

Yeah.

I do remember.

It's her.
- Really?

I've never been to their offices.
I've no idea.

No, but you have authorised
quite a few payments to them.

Look at this.

I'm not the only one
who authorises payments.

That night when you said Dani was upset.

Was that because
she confronted you about a fraud?

And don't tell me
it was about the booze running out.

She was upset...

because Ross had got himself
in trouble with a waitress.

Now, I know
everyone's talking about that.

But I don't think that's connected.

I think they paid girls off
and they covered it up.

And I don't think that's true, actually.

Not any more.

I mean, if that was the cover-up,

why do all these women,

who've never even worked
at Varsey's, have a paper trail?

Look, I know you're loyal, Paula.

But a woman has died.

You need to cooperate.

Look, I don't want
to get anyone into trouble.

I mean, if this is something
Lisa was up to,

I don't want anything to do with it.

How much has she authorised
in the last seven days?

There's a new starter
who had a cash bonus.

Right. Let's make her fake
employee of the month, shall we?

Now, are there many more
like that lass from Babywear?

Yeah. There's quite a lot of names.

All earning just under 12 grand.

Aye, keep them on zero hours.
Their tax, their problem.

Yeah, I reckon someone's
inflating invoices.

I mean, look at this.

Simon the decorator.

A one-man band
repainted 15 shops in a week.

I should get him to do my extension.

Prices like those, maybe not.

Get Aiden to check out these
contractors, if they exist.

Is this a tax dodge...

or is someone creaming off
for themselves?

Ma'am, where do you want Lisa?

Er, put her in room one.

Let her stew.

Jac...

Get yourself over to Paula's place.

Have a poke about.

Right.

I run a charity with your superintendent.

I could ring him
and ask him why you're harassing me.

Right.

Well, mention it's on suspicion
of false accounting,

because he's got fraud targets.

You'll make him very happy.

If there was anything
crooked, I'd know about it.

So, are you aware of all monies
going into and out of your accounts?

Now, the refurbishment of Jesmond.

How much was that?
- 50,000.

100.

How much are you paying Megan Sibisi?

I don't know.
She's a team leader, so I'd say...

23 grand.

Try 46.

Into two different accounts.

OK, so, I'm not on top of everything.

I leave a lot of it to Paula.

I'd ask her.

Do you think she's on the fiddle?

I thought maybe she was giving herself

the odd grand here and there.
- And, what, you ignored it?

I've probably not rewarded her the
way I should have over the years.

She was slogging her guts out,

profits were going up. I felt like...

maybe she'd earned it.

Er, my DS spoke to this fella earlier.

Do you recognize him?

No.
- No, well, that's hardly surprising.

Apparently, you'd had a few.

He is the bouncer
at the Triptych Bar in the city.

The night before Dani died,
he put you into a taxi.

Right. Well, that was kind of him.

He said
you'd been sitting on the pavement

bawling your eyes out with the deceased.

Now, what was that all about?

It was we'd been having
a lot of arguments

about how to deal
with the Ross situation.

I don't believe you.

I think this Ross business is convenient.

Well, tell that to the women
he's been harassing.

You are defrauding Varsey's.

Covering inflated payments,
opening bank accounts,

using names taken from people
looking for work.

Well, that's an elaborate way
to reward yourself, Paula.

But Dani had clocked onto it.

How do I know that?

Because...

she left you in that bar

and she went to check out the fake
insurance company you'd set up.

How much have you taken, Paula?

What did Dani really find out?

All right.

Her bank accounts, ma'am.

What is she, up to her knees in debt?

No, the thing is,

she's never been even overdrawn
on her current account.

What about credit cards?
They can be a killer.

Nope. Jac reckons
there's nothing in her home

to suggest spending sprees,

luxury holidays or unexplained gifts.

What, she's not even making
a profit on it?

Well, what there is
is charges on some transactions.

I thought it might have been
foreign currency.

But I looked into it.

It's encrypted.

Encrypted?

Well, we thought this
was a sophisticated fraud, Kenny.

But that's another level, isn't it?

So, I've done a bit of digging.
All these companies are registered

at the same shell
in the British Virgin Islands.

So there's no other trace,
bar paperwork.

No.

All services, nothing physical.

I've got it.

Paula's acting as a middleman...

for money laundering.

No wonder the turnover went up.

Someone must be putting money
into Varsey's?

And she's having to justify the cash...

and then creating fake spending.
- So, you were right.

Organised criminals
get their fingers in everywhere.

Aye, don't they just!

I got into debt.

So, I moved money into my account
to cover the shortfall.

And then, to cover that...

I started moving work funds
and it just...

sort of snowballed.

Yeah, well,
that's all very touching, love.

But, you see, I know it's not you
lining your own pockets.

See, I think you're doing
all the donkey work,

you know, like you do for Lisa,
only for someone else.

Now, who is the link, love, between you,

a professional woman,
who works hard for a living,

and them?

Those people with dirty money
from God knows what.

Now, who is it?

Not now!
- Ma'am...

There were some wineglasses at Paula's.

They came up with a fingerprint
match to another crime scene.

Mr Desai?

Yeah.

I'm DCI Vera...
- You're detectives.

Aye, yes. We're investigating...

Well, have you got him?
Have you traced the fella?

Er, not yet.

But there has been a development
in your father's case.

He was found here.

Head injuries, bruising.

Splinters from the banister.

They couldn't be sure,
but they said maybe he tripped

and then he had the heart attack.

Though, they couldn't rule out
a confrontation

and that he was pushed.

Well, I'm sorry
it's not been resolved, love.

Erm...

Look, I know everyone
was doing their best,

but to have no answers after this long...

Just left for dead, though.

That's pretty cruel.

You know, they've got a fingerprint
of the guy. A good one.

A big thumb.
- Yeah, well...

It just doesn't match anyone
on the database.

Look, I can't get your hopes up, love.

But I will say that strong evidence
often gets results.

He'll slip up.

That's what we're hoping for.

Have you got any sense
of why your dad was attacked?

I've thought about it a lot. I mean...

it could be just obviously
some random burglary.

But...?

I think Dad must have had
some kind of gambling problem.

So, why do you think that?

Well, I'd not got a sniff of it
and nor had anyone else, but...

after he died, it became obvious

that his finances
were all over the place.

Right.

I think he must have dipped
into the restaurant.

You know, borrow back to cover losses.

Thank you.

Right.

Well, according to the books,

turnover went up rapidly,
cash injections,

and then a sudden drop-off.

So, he was putting money through,
then what?

Yeah, well, maybe Dad got cold feet.
Messed up somehow.

Maybe he threatened to blow
the whistle. I don't know.

But this was payback.

Himesh Desai.

Found dead a year ago.

Have you come across him at all?

No?

Well, whoever was with him
at the time of his death

was in your home
within the last few days.

I don't believe you.

No?

Well, I can show you fingerprint
evidence, if that'll help.

Now, who was it?

Who came round to yours?

Look...

one of your oldest friends...

is dead.

Yes! I know!

But I...

I genuinely, hand on heart,

have no idea how that happened.

Look, I'm not going
to charge you with murder...

if you tell me who came round.

I mean, that's enough.

Because, if you don't tell me, pet...

and you leave here...

Well, I think he came for Mr Desai.

He came for Dani.

Now, what's to say
he's not gonna come for you?

We need to have a serious talk
about Paula, love.

Apart from your sisters,
who else did she have in her life?

No-one.

There's us and work.

What, no relationships?
- None.

Famously single.

It was a bit of a running joke,
if I'm honest.

Was she resentful of this mickey-taking?

Maybe.

Maybe it was her anyway.

I mean, I knew she envied Lisa.

But who doesn't?

And I knew something had changed, but...

I didn't think she was doing
anything dodgy. Not at all.

Now, you said she'd changed. How?

Erm, she tried to sort of...

assert herself a bit more.

But she went about it in the wrong way.

Like, a classic example.

She made up some fella she met
at an investment seminar.

Some loaded Romeo
helping her "manage her portfolio".

Well, why would that be a lie?

Because it was too good to be true.

To be fair, Dani said we should
give her the benefit of the doubt.

But she took it too far.

Like, made out
he was some George Clooney type.

Treated her like a princess,
house in Greece, the works.

But he never turned up to anything
we invited him to.

Aiden...

Thanks, love.

Give us your phone.

What?
- I'm out of juice.

I want to check something.

What are you looking for?

The sequence of events.

Here you are. Yeah.

Yeah, sequence of events?

Dani gets on the boat?

Party, party, party.

And they run out of booze.

Now, what does Dani do next?

Asks Kirsty who manages the boat.

Now, what if that
is not about a complaint?

What if that's her making the final
connection to the money laundering?

Look, who links both sides
of the investigation?

The moneyman
with a shedload of businesses

who's had a load of business
put his way from Varsey's.

He should be sunning himself in the Med.

Richard?!
- Aye!

The boat owner!

Right, check the back of the house.

Come round the front.

Anything?

No, no sign of anything yet.

Looking for your neighbour.
- He's just got in a cab.

What's this about?
- He's just got into a taxi.

Shit...!

Right, you deal with it.
- I've got it.

Do you know the company, mate?

We know he has a holiday home.

Where in Greece is it?

I don't know.
- I don't believe you.

But he didn't do anything.

Well, then,
he will be able to explain himself.

Where in Greece is it?

Now, identify these calls you made
on the night she died.

Now, who's saying what to who?

Come on, Paula.

Where in Greece is it?

Yeah, I'm at the terminal now.

17:45, Thessaloniki.

I've got you.

Police! Watch your backs!

'Last call for flight BA155
to Thessaloniki.

'Can passengers please proceed
to gate five?

'The last call for flight...'

He called me to say
he'd smooth things over with her.

And he was as shocked as I was
at what had happened.

And you fell for that?

I mean, how can an intelligent woman
like you fall for that claptrap?

It's not claptrap!

Cos I just trust him.

He's made me twice the person
I was before I met him.

He loves me.

He made you a party to a crime.

I agreed with the crime.

I was just getting what I deserved,
for once.

And did Dani get what she deserved?

No! But he didn't push her off that boat.

You're right about that.

He strangled her first
and then dropped her into the water.

He wasn't even there at the time
it happened! He'd gone home!

So when do you think it happened?

Midnight. Around midnight.

Wrong.

But her body was at Quayside.

Aye, cos she got caught under the boat.

How do you mean?

I mean, she got caught under the boat

after he killed her at that hotel.

I mean, that was bad luck for him,
but it was worse luck to Danielle!

Are you going to answer that?

It's occupied.
- That's all right.

I'll wait.

Well, we've nothing on you,
have we, Richard?

Well, I don't have criminal convictions,

if that's what you mean.

It must be useful
in your line of work, no record.

It must be very useful
to your associates.

No, I don't... I don't have associates.

I work on my own.

Right, you're the fella
who takes opportunities, aren't you?

Well, we know quite a lot
about those opportunities.

About how you've been laundering
money through local businesses.

Varsey's included.

How you've charmed your girlfriend
into being an accomplice.

And all this...

hidden away offshore.

It's ridiculous.

I thought I was here for a murder case.

Sorry, yes.

Er... and we've evidence
linking you to that as well.

Now, this is a record of your mobile
pinging masts on Grey Street...

and Alanburn Manor on Saturday night.

So?

I was out and about.

Ain't that the truth.
Because both of these places

are connected to the victim
on the night of her death.

Which strongly suggests you were
in the vicinity of her burgled flat

and then in the vicinity
of where she was killed.

Well, suggests...

it doesn't mean proof, does it?

It also pinged a mast on Teesside

where her bag was found.

Hey, you really went round the houses

to cover your tracks,
didn't you, Richard?

This is all circumstantial.

You know it is.
- Yeah, true.

But it does build a picture?

And it's enough for us
to ask the question...

why did you strangle Danielle Varsey?

I didn't know her, so...

why would I kill her?

Well, one reason might be
because she clocked onto your scam.

See, all this
is what she's uncovered about you.

Now, what I don't get is this.

I mean, even if she had exposed
your fraud...

I mean, a fella like you,

good grief,
you would've danced around that

and you'd have got, what,
three years, tops.

Right, so now you're actually admitting

that I don't have a motive.

Nah.

I'm saying...

this is your motive.

You knew that any contact with us

would flag up the unexplained death
of restauranteur Himesh Desai,

identifying you as the mystery person

present at the time of his death.

Did you know there was a dirty,
great fingerprint left at the scene?

See, you're not as clever
as you think you are.

So, you could risk Danielle
exposing the fraud,

but you couldn't risk being
connected to Mr Desai's murder.

So, just to be on the safe side...

you took one of your opportunities
and decided to silence her for good.

Wow...

You are clutching at straws.
- Am I?

You are completely irrational.

Whereas you are completely rational.

You made a calculated decision

to murder that lass

to avoid being pulled in for his murder.

And that's the truth of it,
isn't it, Richard?

That was your motive.

I'm right, aren't I?

Lost your tongue?

OK, you don't want to speak.

We'll just push on with the formalities.

Right.

Yeah, a quick sample should do it.

Yeah, DNA for Danielle

and fingerprints for Mr Desai.

If you do this...

you send me down

and I will come for you!

And how are you going to do that?

And don't tell me you know people.

I've been threatened
by worse than you, pet.

And if you think those types
are going to help you...

you're more stupid than you look.

DCI Stanhope leaving the room.

Right, pet.

Dani had no idea
what she was walking into.

I should have known.

I knew there was a problem.
If I'd have pushed it...

Why didn't she come to us?

My best guess...

she didn't want to ruin the night.

I wouldn't have minded.

Why did she not come and get me?
Why go off with him?

She wanted to hear his side.

Give him a chance to explain.

Give Paula the benefit.

Did Paula know all this time?

Did she?

When I was grieving...

did she?

I think not.

Yeah.

OK. No, that's good news.

Yeah.

OK, well, keep me posted on everything.

Thank you.

Ta-da!

What do you think?
- About what?

This.

I don't know what I'm looking at.
- Perfect!

That lass
who Ross assaulted at the hotel,

she's agreed to file a complaint.

The CPS should have enough
to prosecute him, then.

Aye.

God, it takes a lot of courage
for her to do that.

A lot of courage.

I wish more people would do the same.

Well, I think people are nowadays,
aren't they?

And thank God for it.

It was a different story back in my day.

Right, now, don't let Kenny
keep you out too late.
