Support your local PBS station.

The police consultancy keeping you busy?

Yeah. I mean, took a bit of getting used to,

but I'm doing the job on my own terms now, so...

And it's three years since you lost Kate and Ella.

Yeah.

Any more sightings?

Sightings?

You were concerned that, I think, you saw her - Ella -

on more than one occasion.

I... I don't know.

I think it just happens by chance sometimes.

I find myself back... somewhere I've been with Ella,

and for a second it's like the whole thing never happened,

you know?

Cases like these are well documented.

I can accept that Kate is gone, but...

You lost a child, Alex.

Some people never lose hope of seeing them again.

WOMAN SCREAMS Stay down!

ALARM RINGS You, stay back there!

What are you looking at?!

Stay back!

SHOUTING

WOMAN SCREAMS

Come on!

HE GASPS Stay down!

Quick! Move! Move! Move! Move!

Come on!

SIREN WAILS

Police!

Get down!

- Police! - Stay down! Stay down!

Thanks.

Darren?

This is Harry Bentham, ma'am, owner of the business.

DI Farman. I'm running this case.

How soon can I get in there?

Forensics won't be finished for a while yet.

We'll need you to come to the station and provide us

with an inventory of anything missing.

Absolutely. Whatever it takes.

Good. Is there a back door or...?

It's just through that arch over there.

Thanks.

Oh...

They made quite a mess.

Mess we can work with!

Unlikely we'll lift any fingerprints.

Assailants were wearing gloves.

Two high-res cameras, one of which appears to be broken.

I'll get a tech team to examine what footage we do have.

But all three of the assailants

were wearing motorcycle helmets.

It's got to be the same gang.

This time, things didn't go quite to plan.

We lifted traces of blood from this smashed display case.

It must be from one of our assailants.

We'll do some analysis for genetic markers,

see if it gives us any matches.

Any other leads we can work with?

The shop was fitted with an intruder spray.

It was activated when an employee

pressed a panic button.

We've got a couple of shoe treads.

Their clothes would've been covered with it.

A DNA signature that would tie them to the crime scene.

They are effectively marked men.

SIREN WAILS

CAROL: You've been arrested

on suspicion of a criminal offence -

a raid on a jewellery shop on Menton Street,

which took place this morning at 9am.

- I want to see a doctor. - You had a medical assessment.

You've been signed off as fit to be interviewed.

I could've been killed.

You were absconding from a crime scene.

I was nowhere near that robbery.

We've got witness statements that attest to three assailants

leaving the shop in question,

one male suspect who matches your description.

That could've been anyone, couldn't it?

Two other suspects unaccounted for,

one of which was your mate who left you behind.

We believe this robbery was gang related.

A group of lads living in Framley.

Three similar raids in the past 12 months.

You gonna pin those on me too, yeah?

We only need to charge you with this one.

And the level of violence that was used in this robbery -

possessing offensive weapons -

I mean, you're looking at a sentence of at least ten years.

Ten years? But, I mean, no-one was gonna get hurt.

I don't think a jury would see it that way, Ryan.

Someone paid you to do this job.

You tell us who's behind this...

What's in it for me?

The fact that you cooperated

would be on record with the CPS,

and that might hold some bearing

when it comes to pressing charges.

You need to give us some names, Ryan.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Rebecca Bayling, defence brief.

I'm requesting this interview be suspended

until I have an opportunity to confer with my client.

But he's already been briefed

by a police station representative.

An unfledged, sleep-deprived paralegal?

It's entirely your call.

Yeah, I want her.

I'd like some time alone with Mr Stanford.

I will, of course, require full disclosure.

PHONE RINGS

Ridley.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.

Cheers, love. Keep the change.

You look wiped out, Mum.

Been on my feet all day.

Go on up. I can manage.

Just a Coke, was it, Donna?

I'd kill for a rum in it.

Look, are you all right?

Police pulled in Ryan this afternoon.

Robbery in town.

They're saying someone tipped the police off.

And you think it was Ryan?

I don't know what to think, Tash.

I mean, maybe someone's got to him.

Look, I know I haven't been around for a while,

but if you ever need to talk, I'm here.

LIVELY CHATTER

Belly's rumbling, lads.

Let's get some food!

You need to feed yourself, boy.

LAUGHTER

Ryan Stanford - pulled him

in connection with the latest robbery.

He was all set to give us some names before his brief arrived

and advised him not to.

If we can get Ryan to talk,

we could probably shut down the whole operation.

Well, if you want my take on this, you charge him

with the robbery and then get him remanded in custody.

Buys us some time.

I'll get his hearing set up for tomorrow morning.

That intel on the robbery, it wasn't on the mark.

That's the reason we brought you in.

You need to get a handle on your source.

OK.

LINE RINGS

VOICEMAIL: Please leave a message after the tone.

CLOCK CHIMES

Your bail is conditional.

You'll need to reside at your grandfather's address

till your trial date's confirmed. Understood?

Understood.

Hiya. I thought they were gonna lock you up.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

- I didn't mean that. - Let's just get out of here.

I called Frank, told him you got bail.

He'll be so pleased to see you back home.

Ryan...

Ryan!

THUD

PAUL: He was run down in a side street

a few minutes' walk from the magistrates' court.

- Suspected hit-and-run. - Any witnesses?

Not that we know of.

His girlfriend was with him when they left the hearing.

Apparently, Ryan took off without warning.

- How the hell did he get bail? - His brief advised him

to plead not guilty.

When the case went to trial, she was very persuasive.

Rebecca Bayling.

Hardly your typical duty solicitor, is she?

Hey...

We need an update ASAP, our intel on the ground.

Absolutely. I'm on it.

Chris, will you follow up on forensics ASAP?

Comfort, hand those out.

Right, Operation Limestone.

Mr Ridley's been across this operation

for the past few months. He'll be assisting

with this case on a consultancy basis.

OK. So, Operation Limestone - an ongoing investigation

into a series of violent robberies

with suspected links to organised crime.

We have a group of potential suspects under surveillance.

No breakthroughs as of yet,

until yesterday morning's arrest of Ryan Stanford.

Have a look at the mugshots there.

Known associate of Liam Manley, one of our prime suspects.

Ryan was all set to talk,

and then this morning he was killed in a hit-and-run.

Possible reprisal killing.

We could be looking at one of their own.

Yeah. You'd think they'd be keeping their heads down

- at this point. - The stolen items

will be fenced and sold on to clients, usually abroad.

These lads on bikes are strictly small time.

We need to find out who's pulling their strings.

It's the middlemen. They never get their hands dirty, do they?

What else did the robbery give us?

DARREN: Mopeds were stolen.

Tech are working on Ryan's phone.

CCTV?

There was one camera that was out of action in the shop.

Oh. That's convenient.

We've spoken to the owner, Mr Bentham.

He runs a chain of jewellery shops.

Is that Harry Bentham?

- What, do you know him? - Yeah.

A bit of a face about the club.

So this tip-off we received on the robbery -

it didn't come from Ryan Stanford?

That intel was gathered from an anonymous source.

Look, our number-one priority is finding out

who killed Ryan Stanford.

So let's run with the probability

that these two crimes are connected.

This is now a murder inquiry. Let's go.

WENDY: Injuries were consistent with a hit-and-run.

Multiple fractures to the right femur and pelvis,

severe internal bleeding.

Whoever ran him down was travelling at some speed.

Could have been a random accident?

Acceleration marks on the road -

vehicle drove straight at him.

No deviation.

- So, this was premeditated. - No cameras, no witnesses.

Most hit-and-runs leave behind some paint evidence.

His clothing was tested for residue traces.

We found flecks of white paint

on Ryan's trousers.

They were contaminated with dirt and grease.

But if we can match it to a paint code on the database...

It could give us some leads

to the make and model of the vehicle.

We'll do some IR analysis.

It's the undercoat layer structure

that gives us all the answers,

and white paint is notoriously uniform.

So we shouldn't get our hopes up.

- I'll keep you both updated. - Thanks, Wendy.

Yeah, it's premeditated,

but it's not your typical gangland hit, though, is it?

You don't seem too convinced.

I'm keeping an open mind.

Have you spoken to Ryan's girlfriend yet?

- I'm heading there now. - Oh, I'll tag along.

We were leaving court just after the hearing.

Ryan said he had somewhere he needed to be.

He didn't say where he was going?

Not that I remember.

OK.

Well, in case you do...

How long had you and Ryan been together?

Couple of years now.

Moved in with his grandad when I found out I was pregnant.

How many weeks?

19.

It's a boy.

Yeah. It's good of him to take you in, wasn't it?

Yeah, well, Ryan grew up here.

They've always been close.

This is really gonna finish Frank.

It's OK.

We're sorry for your loss, Mr Stanford.

There's plenty would be glad to see the back of him.

When did you last speak to Ryan?

A couple of days ago.

Heard he'd been arrested.

Did you know he'd been involved in those robberies?

He made a promise to us when Donna got pregnant.

He swore blind that he'd turn his life around.

It's the only reason I agreed to take her in.

I understand Ryan grew up here with you and your wife.

That's right.

Pat and me.

She's passed on.

We did the best for the lad.

But he was always an 'andful.

Yeah. Not much for them in this town, is there?

- Ryan got in with a bad crowd. - RIDLEY: Yeah?

Anyone in particular we should be talking to?

I swear he's started kicking, Frank.

He knows something's wrong.

Do you recognise this face?

A close-knit town like this -

word will soon get around that you've been here.

We only want to find who killed him, Mr Stanford.

Liam.

Liam Manley.

Ryan's best friend.

What a piece of work he is!

Any idea where we might find him?

He drinks in the Bridge Inn.

Pub just off the high street.

OK.

We will need someone to come in

and make a formal ID of Ryan's body.

Next of kin.

She knows more than she's saying.

Oh, definitely. Yeah.

We won't get much from anyone around here, you know,

code of honour and all that.

Time we questioned Liam Manley.

Yeah, well, it's best I'm not seen around the Bridge Inn,

that's for sure.

We don't want to put our source at risk.

Exactly. Maybe you should take Darren as backup, you know.

Oh, still looking out for me, are you?

It's a habit I'm trying to break, yeah.

Hmm. You can give me a leg up this hill.

LOW CHATTER

We're looking for Liam Manley.

Pool table.

LAUGHTER

DI Farman, Copelton Police.

We're investigating a robbery that took place

in Allerton yesterday morning.

What are you talking to me for?

I'd like to know where you were.

I would have been in here.

At nine o'clock in the morning?

One of the fridges was on the blink. Liam fixed it for me.

Let's take this outside, shall we?

Ryan Stanford was murdered this morning.

So I heard, yeah.

So, where were you at the time?

Decorating job. One of those big houses over in Lostock.

I heard you and Ryan were best mates.

I hadn't seen much of him lately.

Is that your van?

It's a company van.

Well, you must be insured to drive it.

- Well, what if I am? Yeah. - Just checking.

- We done here? - For now.

No sign of any damage.

I still think we should run those plates

and check up on that decorating job as well.

Something tells me he is lying through his teeth.

MAN: I'm not joking.

And there it is. It's the stallion!

The Italian stallion!

LAUGHTER

Sorry, am I...interrupting?

Didn't expect to see you so early.

No, no. Uh, a job came up,

so, sadly, I won't be able to do my spot tonight.

Oh, a bit of notice would have been nice.

I know, Annie. You know I hate letting you down,

but it is important.

Fine. I'll make a few calls.

Uh, you should try that...

That girl we booked last week, you know?

Younger vibe. Never hurts to mix things up a bit.

I see you're drowning your sorrows.

That robbery up in Allerton -

I heard that was one of your shops.

- What robbery was this? - I didn't want to worry you.

I'm not made of glass, Harry.

Bunch of young lads on mopeds.

PHONE BUZZES We arrested one of them.

Lawyer gets him out. Next thing we know,

he's wiped out in a hit-and-run outside the courthouse.

Any idea who's behind it?

Well, we're not ruling anybody out

at the minute.

I'll check you later.

You're late.

Yeah. View's much nicer this time of the evening, isn't it?

Mmm. Feels good to be able to breathe again.

That Ryan Stanford murder must be the talk of the town.

- I heard he was arrested. - Hmm.

Team think it's connected with the robbery.

You know, I spoke to his girlfriend.

She was worried Ryan might have grassed.

Right...

- Donna Burnside. - Hmm.

We were mates growing up.

She always thought the world of Ryan.

Not a sentiment you went along with.

Ryan got Donna knocked up.

It's the only reason he stayed with her.

Never could keep it in his trousers.

Well, she's going to need somebody to confide in, so...

Yeah, I'll do some digging.

That intelligence you gave us on the robbery,

how did you come by that?

A group of Framley lads met up in the pub.

They'd been riding around on stolen bikes.

I could just tell they were planning something.

Did you put any names to the faces?

Mmm, yeah.

It's all in there.

Record of events to an evidential standard.

Very good!

Two detectives came in the pub

and they were talking to Liam Manley.

Yeah, I know.

Liam's small time. He's no-one special.

Even so, you get close to him.

Yeah. I'll keep you updated.

How's the backstory holding up?

Right, so a short-lived career in the Army.

Rifles, 5th Battalion.

UN missions in Somalia, South Sudan.

And you came back...?

To bury my dad.

Is that the reason you left in the first place?

Let's just say we didn't get on.

- Sorry to hear that. - Hmm.

I think I always wanted to prove I was better than him.

So you decided to be a cop!

Could have gone either way.

If I'd have stuck around in Framley,

probably have ended up with a record.

RIDLEY CHUCKLES

Still, four years is a long time to be away.

Not long enough.

And what makes you so sure that they're going to talk to you?

I know these people better than anyone.

Still, the murder - that's changed everything, hasn't it?

The stakes have been raised.

It might be the breakthrough I need.

- Meaning...? - Word on the street is

it was Ryan who was leaking. Puts me in the clear.

Yeah? Buys us some time.

Tasha...

Mind yourself.

Yeah.

I might be back late this evening,

so I'm just gonna kip on t'couch.

I don't want to wake Meadow up. Morning.

GERI: I could do with some support on the night feeds.

Have you been smoking?

- Babe? - Yeah, yeah.

I'll put in the extra hours at the weekend.

I'm gonna be late, too. I've got football.

GERI: Looks like it's just you and me, beautiful.

Shall we do some tummy time? Yeah?

Oh, you might want to put her back down, babe.

We don't want to miss the sleep window.

GERI: She's only been up a couple of hours.

I know, but if we're going to get the little sleep thief

to sleep through the night,

then we have to get her to stick to her sleep schedule.

- Catch yous later, yeah? - Have a good day, love.

Oh, the baby...

HE SIGHS

So, I've been thinking about going back to work.

Oh.

OK.

My maternity leave's nearly up

and I can always teach lectures from home.

Yeah, well, that's good,

because childcare's expensive, isn't it?

And Meadow's a bit funny with strangers.

You could always ask your dad for some help.

No, not gonna happen.

PHONE RINGS I've got to take this. Sorry.

Yeah?

RIDLEY: I checked in with the desk sergeant.

Apparently, Ryan made a call when he was in police custody.

Phone is registered to a woman called Katharine Penrose.

I've sent you the address.

Blackhall Fold Stud?

Yep, that's the one. I'll see you there.

OK. See you there.

Right, I've got to go.

I'll see you later. Yeah? Love you.

- Love you. - I love you. Bye-bye.

Mwah. Bye-bye. Don't miss the nap gap!

Yes, I know.

It's just you and me.

I thought I might find you here, Frankie boy.

What do you want?

I came to offer my condolences.

You know, Ryan was my best mate.

You don't care about Ryan.

It's your fault he's dead!

Well, the police were asking questions

about those robberies.

Someone must have given the heads-up.

A lowlife like you!

They'll have already had you in their sights!

Be careful what you say, Frank.

Hey?

I'm not afraid of you, lad.

Well, maybe you should be.

Hello. DI Farman, Copelton Police.

We're hoping to speak with Katharine Penrose.

She'll be in the manager's office.

The other side of the jumping ring.

Thanks.

Door!

Hang on!

OK, clear.

Top of the stairs. You can't miss it.

Thanks.

We wanted to ask you some questions about Ryan Stanford.

Yeah, I heard Ryan was in some kind of trouble.

He was killed - yesterday. Hit-and-run.

I'm sorry to hear that.

How well did you know him?

As well as any of the other employees.

So, Ryan was working here?

Just for a few weeks. A few odd jobs around the place.

Really? It just doesn't stack up.

We'd just arrested Ryan for his part in a robbery.

Yours was the mobile number he rang.

Ryan called to tell me he'd been arrested.

He wanted to know if I could help him.

I didn't think it was appropriate.

How long have you been running the stud?

My husband inherited the place.

It's been in the family for years.

Yeah? Is your husband around?

Simon? He's over in Ireland meeting buyers.

Won't be back until this evening.

Um, I'm actually expecting a visit from some owners,

unless, of course, there's anything else.

Do you mind if we talk to some of your grooms?

Yeah, of course, if you think it might help.

If I'm honest, I never really liked him.

- Bit of a chip. - What makes you say that?

It were like he resented the Penroses' lifestyle -

the money, the spoilt kid.

Right...

Still, it's, uh...

It's an impressive set-up, isn't it?

For those who can afford it.

85 acres of rail paddocks, summer grazing -

it all comes at a price.

And Simon Penrose, what involvement

does he have with the stud?

He sees the stud as an expensive hobby.

Mrs Penrose does most of the heavy lifting.

We know that Ryan called her the day before he was killed.

He followed her round like a lap dog.

Even saw him go up to the house a few times,

usually when Simon was away.

So, what, are you saying

that their relationship was more than just professional?

Why else would he keep coming back?

So, let's say Ryan had been playing away,

the odd romp in the hay with an older woman...

Yeah, Tasha did tell me he had a bit of a rep.

Did Tasha mention anything about Liam Manley?

Only that he was small time.

It's just she gave Liam an alibi

at the time of the robbery

and said that he'd been helping out at the pub.

She what?

She gave Liam an alibi?!

She told me he was small time. She lied to me!

Why would she do that?

These are people that she grew up with.

Maybe she's too close to this.

No.

No, no, no, she must have had a reason. She must have.

I mean, what the hell is she up to?

So, what are we gonna do?

Well, we're going to keep a close eye on her.

And we're certainly not gonna share any new intelligence

with her until we know she can be absolutely trusted.

- You all right? - Not bad. Are you?

Yeah.

- Is that OK? - Yeah.

Oh, Harry!

Dropped in to give Darrell here

an inventory of the stolen goods.

In short, to the value of 800K.

Seriously?

We just had a signature collection delivered,

- so... thieves got lucky. - Didn't they just!

DARREN: We're pursuing the new lines of inquiry.

We'll be making more arrests soon.

Oh, good. Well, keep me updated.

Will do.

"Darrell"!

That insurance claim of Harry Bentham's -

it's got to be ringing alarm bells.

You think it might be an inside job?

You can never rule it out.

You said you knew Harry Bentham from the club.

Yeah. He's been...

He's been hanging about with Annie, you know?

Annie's got a new man?

It's early days, you know.

Sounds like it might be a conflict of interest.

Well, I just think we should check him out.

That's all I'm saying.

Boss... I pulled out Rebecca Bayling's case history,

the lawyer that acted for Ryan. She handled the conveyancing

of cash purchases of a number of properties,

rental homes, vacant land plots.

They were bought by various shell companies,

but one jumped out at me.

Check out the name of the company director.

Terence Michael Sansom.

Friends call him Terry.

RIDLEY: Born in Framley, made his money in haulage.

Perfect front for criminal activity.

We're gonna need more than that.

Take a look at his previous.

Arrested and charged ten years ago for handling stolen goods -

for a robbery that cleared out the auction house.

Lawyers got him off on a technicality.

He was questioned by Dutch police

in connection with the murder of a Rotterdam assayer

five years ago. No-one was ever charged,

but there were rumoured connections

to the Dutch Penose.

It's someone you wouldn't want to mess with.

And someone capable of Ryan's murder.

Do you think he's our fence?

Only one way to find out. Let's get into it.

So, we wanted to ask you some questions

about a man named Terry Sansom.

I advise him on managing his business assets.

Ryan Stanford's murder - I'm assuming, as his brief,

you've been brought up to speed.

I'm under no obligation to reveal details

of any of my clients.

We could always do this down the station.

RIDLEY: He gets arrested for his part in a robbery.

20 minutes later, you show up.

Which makes us wonder whether Terry tipped you off.

I don't need to answer these questions.

You give us confirmation that it was Sansom who called you...

- Or what? - Or one word from the SIO

and we're back in here with a warrant on the suspicion

of your involvement with money-laundering.

Well, that's a libellous accusation.

Either way, nobody's going to touch you,

and all your lucrative clients are going to disappear.

Ryan did some work for him over at the depot.

Good. Gets around, doesn't he?

I got a call saying that he'd been arrested.

Right. So, if he gives us some names...

...risk is, you're going to be implicated.

I'm just a lawyer who's good at her job.

Did you speak to Sansom personally?

He wouldn't have been that stupid.

We might need you to confirm that on the record.

This conversation never took place.

You go after Sansom, you'll be chasing shadows.

Well, you'd better hope so,

because if we find any evidence connecting Terry Sansom

to those robberies...

...we're going to bring you down with him.

Ryan Stanford - name ring any bells?

No, I can't say it does.

We were told he used to work for you.

He might have done some hours in the warehouse.

Somebody was saying that the haulage industry

is struggling these days.

We adapt. You know, streamline profit margins,

pull in our horns.

Apparently, there's a lucrative sideline

in fencing stolen goods.

I'm a busy man, so let's cut to the chase, shall we?

Ryan Stanford gets arrested for his part in a jewellery raid.

He's all set to talk, and he ends up dead the next day.

And you think I had something to do with it?

RIDLEY: We pulled up your record.

Diamond merchant in Rotterdam?

Ends up with a bullet in the back of his head.

I was released without charge.

You were all over it, mate. It was a premeditated hit.

You notice a pattern emerging?

What were your movements yesterday morning?

Took the day off. Daughter's tenth birthday party.

So, if that's all there is,

this is starting to feel like harassment.

You listen to me, Terry.

If we flag up

that your business is a front for criminal activity,

I'm sure customs would take great pleasure in shaking down

every single lorry you've got out there.

This business is clean.

I bring a lot of money to this town.

Jobs, wages.

I'm one of the good guys.

So unless you've got something on me,

I think it's time you left.

He's right. We've got nothing,

and now he knows we've got eyes on him.

Yeah, but sometimes if you ruffle a few feathers,

you know, it might throw up a few leads.

Thanks for meeting me. It feels stifling

being stuck in that house with Frank.

How's he bearing up?

I just feel like we're in the way.

You and the baby, you're all he's got left.

That stuff they've been stealing,

Ryan ever tell you where it ended up?

Well, I wasn't gonna ask.

You need to think about your future now.

Ryan's cut for that job.

I don't want anything to do with that money.

All right.

You know that fella that Liam's with...?

Callum Douglas?

Yeah. He was parked in his van outside court.

I'd swear that's why Ryan took off.

Told anyone else about this?

More than my life's worth.

He really scares me, Tash.

All right, Donna?

She's been better.

Well, you know what they say about a rat.

Need to catch it and put it down.

It's the only way to deal with vermin.

Ryan didn't rat on anyone.

- I don't remember asking you. - Leave it, Cal.

Turns up like a bad penny.

Four years fighting for king and country?

Which regiment was it again?

I said... leave it.

Catch you later, yeah?

We'll sort a whip-round. For the kid.

You're priceless, you know that?

- You coming? - In a sec. Yeah.

I don't know what you see in him.

Callum? He's harmless.

I really should get back.

- What's the hurry? - I need to get back.

- Yeah, there's no rush. - I've got a pub to open.

- See you tonight? - Maybe.

- Maybe? - Maybe.

OK.

But just, um, make sure you watch your back. Yeah?

DARREN: Ridley, I, uh, did some digging into Harry Bentham.

- Oh, yeah? - He bought 10,000 shares

for half a million

in a mining company called Venter Rough Diamonds.

- Wow. - Yeah?

But within four days, the share prices dropped by 40%.

He would have lost a packet.

Yeah, he's gonna be wanting to claw back some of those losses,

- isn't he? - Mmm.

Shouldn't we be looking at this guy as a suspect?

I'm certainly not ruling him out.

This line of inquiry - you ran it past the SIO?

Oh, yeah. Absolutely, Darren.

Hey!

Annie told me I'd find you here.

Well, the longer the shop stays closed,

the longer I'm losing money.

Losing money? Yeah. Those shares you bought

took a bit of a tumble, didn't they?

You've been checking up on me.

Huh! Just following the leads.

You don't seriously think that I was in on this?

Oh, come on, Harry, I know a chancer when I see one.

Hey, wait a minute.

This shop is going to need a complete refit.

My staff are too frightened to come back to work,

so it really would not be worth the aggravation.

Mm-hm.

You ever come across a bloke called Terry Sansom?

Off the record?

If it needs to be.

Yeah, sure. I've heard his name at the trade fairs.

You want a bit of knock-off bling, he's your go-to man.

He's got a big haulage company, though, hasn't he?

It's got to be a front.

Perfect way to move stolen merchandise.

You think he's involved in all of this?

He's what's known as a person of interest.

Well, he'll need to shift the stolen gear pretty damn quick.

A young lad's just been murdered.

What makes you think he'd go anywhere near it?

Well, high-end items like these are usually stolen to order,

so those clients will be looking for a return

on their investment.

Right.

What about yourself, Harry?

Ever been tempted by the lure of dirty money?

HE CHUCKLES

No.

Straight as a die. That's me.

- Just ask Annie. - I will.

PHONE BUZZES

I've got to take this.

Tasha.

I got a name from Donna - Callum Douglas.

He works with Liam Manley, that decorating business.

Never came up on our surveillance.

He was waiting for Ryan outside court

the morning he was killed.

Got it. Thanks.

I'm gonna scan you for SmartWater.

I'm gonna have to swab that.

So, Callum, we've found traces

of a liquid deterrent on your skin,

a unique DNA code that can place you at that robbery.

We also found traces of your blood at the crime scene -

that injury that you're nursing on your arm.

RIDLEY: Your profile was already

on the database. Came back as a match.

There's enough evidence here to send you down.

CAROL: So why don't we start with the stolen jewellery?

Do you want to tell us where it is?

No comment.

We know that one of the assailants was Ryan Stanford.

I'm guessing that the third man was Liam Manley.

No comment.

Terry Sansom - you know who he is?

Never heard of him.

Really? Because we think he hired you

to do those robberies.

No comment.

Where were you Thursday lunchtime, Callum?

Would have been working.

We can place your van in Allerton

around the time that Ryan Stanford was murdered.

I drove into town, got some block paving sealant.

That place on Clarence Street.

We have a witness places you outside the magistrates' court.

That's a ten-minute drive from Clarence Street.

She must have got that wrong.

CAROL: We never said they were she.

So, you're worried Ryan may have given us your name,

you want to even the score.

I mean, someone with your reputation,

I mean, that'd put the frighteners on anybody.

I just wanted to find out if I could still trust him.

Right.

Ten minutes later, he winds up dead.

You seriously think I killed him?

Right now, it's not looking very good for you.

I had nothing to do with it!

You're already going down for these robberies.

If the word gets out you gave us Sansom...

You know, you're banged up

in prison, you've got nowhere to run.

I never gave you anyone! I'm not a grass!

Ryan Stanford was a loose cannon.

It stands to reason that Terry Sansom would want him silenced.

So... he gets you to do his dirty work for him.

HE SIGHS

Me and Ryan, we were just errand boys.

Bottom of the food chain.

Moved the stolen gear.

Took the money up to the stud farm.

Which stud farm is this?

Those visits Ryan paid to the stud,

if he were working as a gofer for Sansom...

Probably shifting some cash for Penrose.

Yeah, but Penrose is clean.

No history of anything remotely dubious.

Which makes him the perfect accomplice.

But we've still got nothing that ties him to Terry Sansom.

We'd better find something.

I've been called to give evidence

at the Crown Court tomorrow,

so I might be out of the loop for a couple of hours.

Fine. I think we'll manage without you.

Always a worry where you're concerned, Ridley.

You are clever. Where are you going to colour blue?

His belly? KNOCKS ON DOOR

Who is...? Oh, who is that?

One, two, three, run to your daddy!

Hello, tiger.

Oh, shouldn't you be in bed?

He wanted to wait up for his daddy.

- Well, I'll get him down. - OK.

Come on.

Daddy's very tired from his trip,

so let's get you to bed, hey?

Yeah?

I expected you home hours ago.

- Flight was delayed. - Right.

Come on. I'll read you a story.

- Yeah. - How about The Very Hungry...?

Thank you.

Can I get a vodka and Coke, please?

Police arrested Callum Douglas.

What did I tell you? He's bad news.

I need you to make these disappear.

You swore you had nothing to do with those robberies!

I told you what you wanted to hear.

What am I supposed to do with them?

I dunno. Dump 'em. Hide 'em. Just get rid.

That would make me an accessory.

Please, Tash.

You're the only one I can trust.

You should've learned that by now.

YOU'RE the world's expert when it comes to unsuitable men?

I know your dad wasn't perfect,

but it broke his heart when you left.

You're still making excuses for him, even now!

He's dead and buried, Tasha. Isn't that enough for you?

- Kitchen clear. - Uh...

MUM: Hang on...

Can you just be careful, please?

Boss!

How did these clothes come to be in your possession?

Tasha Walker, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of assisting an offender.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

something which you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

Watch your head.

What the hell were you thinking, Darren?

I got a tip-off last night,

so I followed procedure and I made an arrest.

You should've run it by me first.

I tried, but your phone was switched off.

I was tied up in court.

We suspected she was hiding evidence.

I couldn't risk losing it, so I used my initiative.

Where's the DCI?

Manchester, at a conference. He's coming in now.

If we can tie Liam Manley to the robbery,

this could be the breakthrough we need.

Let's interview Tasha Walker under caution

and then get those clothes tested by forensics.

Yeah. Do you need me on it? It's my arrest.

No. I think we've got this covered now.

Liam Manley's clothes -

do you wanna tell us why they were in your bedroom?

He asked me to look after them last night.

Tasha, you kept them for close to 24 hours.

That was evidence that could tie him to a robbery.

I couldn't hand them over without blowing my cover!

I didn't plan on getting arrested.

Let me guess - Donna Burnside?

She must have seen us together in the pub.

So, why did Liam come to you?

You asked me to get close to him.

Yeah, but that was after you gave him a false alibi.

But I needed to get him on side.

Our forensics team, they've just got back to us.

The paint flecks that were on Ryan Stanford's trousers -

they're not a match for Callum's van.

RIDLEY: Well, that rules him out of Ryan's murder.

CAROL: And puts Liam Manley right back in the frame.

- Liam isn't a killer. - He's dangerous

and unpredictable,

which is why I'm taking you off the case.

I'm not done yet!

That isn't your decision to make.

I think we should all just take a deep breath, right?

I know Liam's hiding the stolen gear!

Did he say where?

Not yet.

I just need some more time.

A word.

We're gonna have to bring Liam Manley in.

Absolutely. Absolutely. But if we bring him in now,

then we blow our chance of nailing Penrose

and all the other heavy hitters further up the chain.

I read up on Tasha's pre-assessment.

There were concerns expressed about her mental health -

family issues, the rift with her dad.

There was nothing in that file that was a deal-breaker.

- You knew? - Of course. I was her handler.

I made it my business to know.

Maybe your own history is clouding your judgment here.

What do you mean by that?

She's young, she's green.

She's the same age as Ella.

I think we should leave my daughter out of this.

I think you're too close to this, Ridley.

And I think you've got a chance of nailing Sansom...

...and Penrose, and you will only get one.

So how do we know we can trust her?

Right now, Carol, you don't have much choice.

DOOR CLOSES

Let's keep this simple.

You have agreed to be questioned without a solicitor.

Everything you say will be on the record.

However, your cover will remain intact.

No-one else in the investigative team

will have any idea that you're part of

this covert operation. OK?

Liam's gonna ask questions.

So... we arrested you on a tip-off.

You refused to cooperate with the police.

The whereabouts of those clothes are as yet unknown.

So we are releasing you as a person under investigation.

I still need to square this with the team.

Yeah, unless forensics come back with a positive test,

there is nothing that ties Tasha to any of this.

Don't make me regret this, Ridley.

What?

Liam Manley -

is there something you're not telling me?

You really think I'd be that stupid?

Well, I seriously hope not, because if you have instigated

a sexual relationship with a suspect under investigation,

that will negate any chance we have of an impartial trial,

never mind a conviction!

I thought you said you had my back!

You lied to me, Tasha!

Right now, I don't even know which side you're on!

You wanted to know why I left!

My dad used to knock my mum about, treat her like dirt.

My 18th birthday, we threw a party at the pub.

Dad had been drinking, really knocking it back.

Started on my mum because the cake was all wrong.

I got between them and that's when he raised his hand to me.

Mum was too scared to stop him.

I packed a bag and I walked that night.

I knew that I had to take care of myself!

I signed up for training a few weeks later,

and it was the best decision I ever made!

We've got a name of a possible middleman.

His name is Terry Sansom.

If Liam is sitting on a big pile of stolen jewellery,

we will need to know where the drop is going to be.

This... is a tracking device.

The first chance you get, you stick it on Liam's car,

under the wheel arch, by the number plate -

so long as it's hidden.

Don't let me down, Tasha.

You contact me first thing in the morning.

On you go.

I'll call.

What's all this?

I'd have taken you out for dinner.

Well, I wanted you all to myself.

I thought we could talk. Just the two of us.

Mmm. Did Ridley put you up to this?

He's... He's just looking out for me.

No. He just can't bear the thought

that you might be moving on without him.

Well, you know, maybe things are moving a bit fast.

And he is right about one thing.

I barely know you, Harry.

Well, we can work on that.

- I'm an open book. - Hmm!

You know, I've been meaning to give you this for a while.

Now seems like the perfect moment.

It's, um...

- I can't accept this. - No strings, no expectations.

Just a token of my affection for, um...

...making me a better man.

SIMON: I thought my wife had answered all your questions.

RIDLEY: Yeah, well, it was you I wanted to speak to.

- If this is about that lad... - Ryan Stanford, yes.

Your wife confirmed that he did some work about the place.

Katharine dealt with all of that.

Ever crossed paths with a fellow called Terry Sansom?

I think I met him at the races once. Works in haulage.

- Amongst other things, yeah. - Not really our sort.

Yeah, well, you see, we think Terry Sansom is behind

this spate of jewellery robberies,

that his business is a front for moving stolen goods.

What's that got to do with me?

Well, he's going to be working

with a group of unnamed associates.

Am I under investigation here?

What's all this?

Detective Ridley had some follow-up questions.

Actually, it's...

It's not Detective any more. I'm just a consultant.

What is it you needed to know?

It's just that we have a witness

who's testified that Ryan Stanford

couriered large sums of money to this stud,

which implicates you in criminal activity.

Well, whoever told you that was lying,

so unless you've any evidence to back up these claims...

Yeah, well, yeah, we're working on that one.

I'll see myself out.

That phone call from, uh, Ryan -

did you mention it to Simon?

Are you hiding something?

No. The grooms like to gossip.

Whatever Janey might have told you...

Did you have an affair with Ryan Stanford?

You really think I'd throw all this away

for that shit-stirring little toerag?

Are you covering for your husband?

If you are, it might come back to bite you.

- Why would I cover for him? - Oh, I don't know.

Big house, fancy car, school fees -

all paid for by dirty money.

I mean, that might weigh heavily

on anybody with a conscience.

You keep away from my family!

Tash.

- They let you out, then? - Not got anything on me.

What about those clothes?

I told you I'd get rid of them.

Look, they gave me a name - Terry Sansom.

Wanted to know if you'd ever mentioned him.

- Why would they ask you that? - You tell me.

I'm just looking after some stuff for him, all right?

Couple more days, I'll be rid of it.

- And Ryan? - What about him?

He was murdered, Liam. Right after he got himself bailed.

One word to the police that

you were involved in those robberies...

What, you think I had something to do with it?

- I don't know. - Ryan was my best mate.

You're never gonna change, are you, Liam?

Maybe if you hadn't up and left -

four years, no word, nothing.

We're supposed to be together, Tash.

Liam...

Isn't that why you come back?

No Harry tonight?

He was in earlier. You just missed him.

Oh...

Oh, I see he came bearing gifts.

Right, I suppose you're going to tell me it might be stolen?

No. We've ruled him out of our enquiries.

Harry had nothing to do with it, did he?

You never had anything on him.

I was just looking out for you, Annie, that's all, you know.

Yeah, well, I did some investigating myself

this evening. Twice married,

one bankruptcy, grown-up son he hardly ever sees -

all of it laid out, nothing to hide.

Harry might come with a bit of baggage, but, you know,

don't we all at our age?

Yeah, well, look, if I pushed too hard, I'm sorry.

He makes me happy. It's been a while since anyone did that.

Well, you know, if you're happy, I'm happy.

Great. APPLAUSE

No, Carol. Thanks, but Tasha was my source.

Liam Manley, Terry Sansom, I'm arresting you

on suspicion for conspiracy to commit burglaries

at jewellery shops,

and also, in your case, Liam, possessing a firearm

with intent to endanger life.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned

something that you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

Understood?

You've been arrested on suspicion for conspiracy

to commit robberies, handling stolen goods.

My client has ascertained his right to silence.

He won't be responding to any of the charges.

You've been further implicated in the murder of Ryan Stanford.

As he has previously attested,

there are numerous witnesses that can vouch

for my client's whereabouts

at the time that murder took place.

We have a statement from Callum Douglas.

He claims that you knew that

Ryan Stanford was becoming a problem.

- My client won't be... - Liam Manley

pulled a gun on me.

You want to find out who killed Ryan?

Maybe you should try talking to him.

Oh, come on! The moment that Ryan was arrested,

you knew he was gonna expose your whole operation.

That business arrangement with Simon Penrose?

Simon Penrose! He couldn't run a bath.

You're really up against it, aren't you, son?

Conspiracy to commit robberies,

possession of an illegal firearm,

possession of a firearm with intent to endanger human life.

Sansom deserved it after what he did to Ryan.

Yeah. What did Sansom pay you?

15, 20 grand?

- Oh. - Me.

Well, you can sit there and take credit for all that.

Might get you some bragging rights in prison.

Or you can tell me about the operation...

You really think I'm gonna tell you anything?

You can tell me about the operation

and give yourself a fighting chance in court.

After everything that she did?

I know she saw something in you, son.

She fell in love with you.

- Oh, come on... - No.

No. Why else would you have let her go?

She was... She was messed up, all right?

She was messed up in the head,

- and you played her! - No...

- You turned her against me! - No, no, no.

- You and your mates! - You did that yourself.

If you want to make this right,

- you tell me who killed Ryan! - I don't know. I don't know!

Then give me something on Terry Sansom,

cos right now, we've got nothing -

nothing that ties him to this!

Me and... Me and Callum did some work on Sansom's house,

so he found out we were Framley lads,

that Callum had previous.

And... he just asked us if we wanted to

make some proper money.

So you decided to pull those robberies?

He said no-one would ever get hurt.

How did Ryan fit into all this?

Well... we needed someone else we could trust.

Should have known he didn't have the head for it.

Why? What do you mean by that?

Well, a few months ago, something changed in him.

New dad.

He always wanted his kid to look up to him.

I knew that he'd been brought up by his grandparents. Yeah.

It was either that or foster care.

Did he ever mention his mum?

Frank always told him his mum never wanted him.

Did Ryan ever tell you her name?

Kat Stanford.

Social services sent over the file.

17 when she found out she was pregnant with Ryan.

Heroin addiction. Would have endangered the baby.

Absent father.

Hmm. Dad took off before he was born.

Anything else of interest?

Grandparents were granted a Special Guardianship Order.

They took her baby away from her.

You've squared it with the boss this time, right?

This is really good work, Darren. Thanks very much.

Thank you.

Frank.

You here about the break-in?

No, uh, Frank, I'm here to talk about Ryan

and that care order that you applied for

to take him away from his mother.

She was never a mother to Ryan. She didn't have it in her.

Yeah, well, she was a heroin addict, wasn't she?

That would undermine anybody's good intentions, I suppose.

She would have give him up for the next fix.

She was cold, ruthless.

She didn't have a shred of warmth in her.

When was the last time you saw your daughter?

I haven't seen her for years.

Any idea where she might be?

The last I heard, she turned her life around,

set herself up with some money. She's running

some equestrian centre somewhere now

out in the sticks.

Thanks, Frank.

Finally got a breakthrough with those traces of paint!

Any joy on the model of the vehicle?

We ran an ANPR search.

Any vehicles that fitted, vicinity of the courtroom...

A couple of potential matches.

One was a silver-white SUV.

Great work. Thanks, Wendy.

We've got the car that ran down Ryan Stanford.

It's registered to Simon Penrose's address.

Simon Penrose didn't kill Ryan, but I think I know who did.

Meet me at the stud. I'm heading up there now.

OK.

Put into care by the local authority

when he was three years old.

His mother was a heroin addict, had him when she was 18.

Frank and his wife took the boy in.

- And his mother? - Hiding in plain sight.

Ah, Mrs Penrose - is she about?

Went up to the top paddock.

Said she wasn't to be disturbed.

Right.

Terry Sansom has been arrested

in connection with those robberies.

We'll be formally charging him this afternoon.

You're both from Framley.

Is that how you knew each other?

I knew a lot of people in Framley.

Plenty I'd rather forget.

He mustn't have been very happy when you called that lawyer,

brought his whole operation crashing down.

Well, Ryan would have talked. He knew too much.

How long have you been clean...

...Kat?

It's Katharine now.

Only my dad ever called me that.

I'm guessing Simon has no idea -

about the woman you used to be?

He's always been a waste of space.

He practically ran this place into the ground.

Yeah. So, Terry Sansom threw you a lifeline, didn't he?

Respectable front to a criminal enterprise.

All I had to do was clean his money.

And then Ryan shows up at the stud.

He recognised me from one of Frank's photographs.

Said I had his eyes.

The mother who abandoned him.

I never wanted a child in the first place!

That baby ruined my life!

That was a dark little secret, wasn't it?

I hadn't set eyes on him in over 20-odd years.

- He was still your son. - He was nothing to me!

And I told him as much.

Right. So that made him angry, confused.

He wasn't going to go quietly, was he?

Said I owed him. He threatened to tell Simon everything.

So you get him released on bail.

That robbery provided the perfect cover.

DONNA: Ryan!

Somebody needed to stop him.

He called his mother as a last resort.

You promised to make things right.

He was out to destroy me, to take all this away.

- I couldn't let that happen. - So, what,

you just ran him down and then left him for dead?

He deserved it. ENGINE REVS

THUD

He deserved it.

Well... Well, it's all going to come out now, isn't it, Kat?

What you did,

who you really are.

And in the end...

...it's all for nothing.

All for nothing.

SOFT JAZZ MUSIC

I think you should know

we've recovered most of the stolen jewellery.

Great. That's good to hear.

And we've also tallied up

the value of the goods that we've recovered.

And it appears that some of the larger pieces

must still be missing from the signature collection.

So if you even think about making that insurance claim,

you're going to be looking at fraud charges.

Hmm. And there was me thinking

we'd come to some sort of understanding.

HE CHUCKLES

I'm glad to see you've finally called a truce.

Ah, life's too short to hold grudges. Eh, Ridley?

We're going to charge Katharine Penrose with Ryan's murder.

- And Liam? - Out of my hands, I'm afraid.

I thought I could save him.

I'm going to have to file a report.

You breached the protocols of an undercover officer.

You're going to be removed from your unit

and returned to normal duties.

I can hardly stay in Framley, not after this.

Yeah. What about your mum?

Oh, she'll manage. She always does.

Who's Ella?

Ella was my daughter. She's dead, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. You remind me of her sometimes, you know.

Wilful, impetuous, law unto yourself.

Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm not cut out for this.

No. You're a good cop, Tasha.

You got the job done.

Then I guess we can call it quits.

You take care of yourself, Ridley.

Tasha? Are you there?

ANNOUNCEMENT FADES

WHISTLE BLOWS

RIDLEY: I nearly jeopardised a case recently.

Put a colleague in danger.

A young female officer.

I went beyond the point

of giving her the benefit of the doubt. I...

I really didn't behave professionally. I think...

...I was projecting...

...Ella.

You identified it. That's good.

You'll never get over the loss of your daughter.

Nor should you ever want to.

When you're dealing with a traumatic memory,

you need to approach it carefully and quietly,

like tiptoeing up to a sleeping tiger.
