[bright music]

[sobbing]

Hey, come on pet, let's
get you home. Come on.

[ominous music]

Lila! It's out of order!
I'll go up top,

I'll only be a minute.

Okay.

[ominous music]

[on the phone] Hi. This
is Owen Thorne.

Sorry I can't take your
call at the moment.

Dad? Dad!

[ominous music]

[loud thump]

[car sirens going off]

[ominous music]

[melancholic music]

[cars honking]

Excuse me, back in your car,
madam. The road's closed.

Land Rover, empty one,
find a space then find me.

Eh, no excuse me!

Please, can I get through?

No I'm sorry madam.

Please, I'll be two minutes.

I'm sorry you can't.
It's a crime scene area.

[Woman] Well how long
do I have to wait?

Hello, George.

Evening, ma'am.

Nice and calm, well done.

Mm. Tell that to the
folk who are backed up

on the ring road. He could've
waited til Sunday morning.

Anyone see him come down?

No one that's come
forward. That couple there,

they were two stories
up driving out.

Uh.

[Aiden] Other than
that, nothing.

Is that the daughter?

Yeah. It was her prom night.
Thankfully she didn't see it.

He went up top.

Ma'am this is Lila.

Lila, this is DCI Stanhope.

Hello, love. I'm sorry.
Is it your dad, who fell?

Right now, listen to me
love. We're gonna get someone

to come and pick you up,
but it'd be really helpful,

if you could tell my officer
here everything that happened.

Can you do that?

How did he fall?

Well that's what I'm
gonna find out.

Was he up there on his own?

I don't know. I was in the car.

They won't leave him
there will they?

No, love. There's some special
officers on their way here

and they're going to be
taking your dad away.

[woman from a distance]
Sorry, that's my,

it's my daughter.

My mom?

Let us check.

Go on then.

All right.

What's happened?

I didn't see it.

-See what? Where's your dad?
-We just went for chips.

Where's your dad, love?

[Vera] Mrs. Thorne, love.

[sad music]

Shh, you can't go through.

[Policeman] Shh.

[melancholic music]

Right. Here we go. He's
face up at least.

Check his pockets, Kenny.

Parking ticket.

Smashed. See if you
can get that fixed.

Will do. Awkward place to pick.

Mm. If he did pick it.

[lift binging]

So what's with the limp?

Of I was playing five
a side. Dirty players,

those firemen.

[sirens in the distance]

Well that's where he paid.

Now this suggests he
didn't jump, doesn't it?

How does it suggest that?

Well why would you pay for
parking? And why has he come

all the way over here?

Oh, please don't do that.

Right. Make this the
primary scene,

but get them to sweep
the whole area.

And get them to check the
outside. In case he clung on.

Could there have
been an accident?

Don't know. Why, what
you thinking?

Maybe he was trying to
escape from something.

Something coming towards him,

might chance it on the flyover.

Mm. Could be. He's
landed head first.

That suggests he didn't just
climb over and step off.

So, pushed.

Don't know. But from
the way he landed,

I'd say he went off backwards.

Look at this. What's he
seeing? Kenny, go back.

Here, watch. Now he's
seeing something.

And it's not someone
asking for change is it.

Are we sure it's
not the daughter?

No. She said she was in
the car on the floor below.

Are there any other
cameras covering this area?

No, the only coverage
is on the entry barrier

and the payment machines.

And you've ruled out everyone
else in the vicinity?

Yes we have.

So if someone came on
foot, like up the stairs,

they wouldn't necessarily
be seen on here?

Not necessarily, no.

So how long was this
before he falls?

It's about five minutes.

According to when the driver
said he landed on the car.

So he sees something,
he hurries towards it,

something happens
and over he goes.

Got to be linked.

Mm. Keep uniform
asking questions

and I want a trace on every
car coming in and going out.

We've missed someone.

What's this?

[Doctor] Windscreen
wiper. Severed an artery.

Might have killed him if
he didn't land head first.

Does head first suggest pushed?

Not necessarily, but it
suggest he didn't step off,

but he could've dived.
I've seen that before.

Like they're going into water.

No, he would have
hit the flyover.

Were there any signs
of an altercation?

No. No defensive injuries.

So, if he was pushed, it
wasn't off the back of a fight.

No. And there were no other
injuries sustained tonight.

However, there are these.

How long have they been there?

Within the last month.

What does that suggest,
that shape?

That he fell backwards
onto something solid or...

Or was pushed backwards
onto something solid?

Made contact with. But
that's as certain

as I can be for now.

Also he'd been drinking. Couple
of classes of red tonight,

but I'd say more than
that on a regular basis.

What, problem drinker
or just your average?

Depends on your definition
of average.

He was definitely over
the limit to drive.

But went out anyway. But
that tells us something.

Don't know what.

[engine noise]

[birds squeaking]

[melancholic music]

[knocking]

Hi.

DCI Vera Stanhope. You're
Cameron, is that right?

Yeah. Do you need me?

No. Is your mum in?

She's just gone to bed.
Could you come back in a bit?

Yeah, well, we would
love, it's just,

it's best if it's still
fresh in the mind.

Why did your dad pick you
up early from the prom?

I didn't get the message
til after my class.

Her form teacher rang,
Owen picked it up first.

Well why did your teacher ring?

Just some girls in my class,
you know, saying stuff.

[Mother] It's just comments.
We've been dealing with it.

Hey, you're doing so well.

Did you see anyone else around?

I didn't see anything.

What you get up to last night?

I was around my mate Greg's.

Yeah, I came back just
after my mom and the police.

I'll give you his number.

Where would your dad normally
stay in on a Saturday?

Yeah. Sometimes he
want down to Ship

but not that much recently.
He was trying not to drink.

Had he made plans
for the weekend?

There was talk of bowling today

and on Mondays he goes down
to the beach and cleans up,

some eco project thing.

No signs of depression
or previous attempts?

No. Nothing. Nothing like
that. He just wouldn't have.

He weren't the type.

Did you get a sense he was
under any stress at all?

At work maybe?

Management were on his back
for a while, I know that.

But he said it'd blown over.

What did he do? Worked
at the docks, didn't he?

Yeah.

What about longer term plans?

Well there's Lila obviously
and, they're adopting her.

All right. How long she
been with your mum and dad?

Three years. Will that
still happen? The adoption?

This won't delay it, will it?

I don't know. I can't
think that it would.

[sighs] I feel like I
should be doing something,

but I don't know what.

We found some bruising
on your husbands body.

Do you know what that
might be from?

Yeah. He fell over, coming
out of the Ship, the pub.

About three weeks ago.
Not like drunk,

just like, accidental. I
think that's what he said.

We might also have to
look at the possibility,

that someone else was involved
in your husband's death.

W-what like, some random
person just knocked him?

Like who?

Had he fallen out with anyone?

No. Not that I know of.

Did Helen speak to anyone
from the docks?

Yeah, they're having
a do in his honor.

Right, so, was well liked.

Also. Lila, she's fostered.

Is she?

They're going to adopt her.

Right. So can we dig
with the family services?

Right, get Helen onto
that and all.

So not apparently suicidal,
no known disputes.

Where are we on the CCTV trawl?

Well they're still
trawling the CCTV.

Is that his phone records?

Not yet, but we've just
had a print match

come up from the body.
Community picked up a bloke

after a fight on Bloomfield
Street about three weeks back.

So could that be the
bruising on his back?

Could be, except this bloke

was calling himself
Owen Pearson.

This is Owen Thorne, right?

Yeah, it is.

Anything on the other
fellow in the rock?

No.

So he's lied to the
police about his ID.

Why would he do that?

He told the police the
fight was his fault.

It was just a bar room
debate got out of hand.

So he drinks, he fights, he
lies to his wife about it.

Now that's not exactly
the picture

we're getting from home, is it.

[melancholic music]

[Aiden] Ma'am.

[Vera] Where was the fight?

Just on the corner there.
I think you should come in.

It's a good turnout.

[people chatting]

Popular then.

Yeah, company's put some
money behind the bar.

Hi. What can I get you.

Oh, don't tempt me love.
No, we're investigating

the death of Owen Thorne.

[Bartender] Oh, right.

[Vera] Did you know him?

[Bartender] Yeah. He's been
coming in here for years.

But when was he last in?

Hasn't been for a while.

What, not since the
fight out front?

Don't know about a
fight. Ask them.

[people chatting]

I know no one wants to
speak ill, but come on lads,

a man's died.

That's why we've turned out.

Oh, not for the free bar?

All right, let's start
with the scrap outside.

Anyone see it?

You might save us getting
the wrong end of the stick,

that's all.

Did he do something we
should know about?

No. The opposite. His
mind wasn't on the job

and there was an accident.
March back.

He didn't check the safety
equipment and a lad died.

And you think-

Blood on his hands, to
call a spade a spade.

Anyone else feel like this?

Not anyone. Everyone.

Owen Thorne.

Fell to his death from the
top of Eastgate car park.

Now there's some indication
he encountered an as yet

unidentified person or persons
shortly before his death.

Now the trajectory of his fall
suggests he fell backwards,

but his injuries are
not conclusive

with him having been pushed.

But until we know otherwise,
we are treating his death

as suspicious.

Now have we got a
less grisly photo,

something that gives
us a sense of the man?

Selfie from the daughter.
Taken and posted

on social media about
20 minutes before death.

Well he looks happy enough
doesn't he. They both do.

Now the family seem to
think everything was fine,

but our preliminary inquiry
suggests his colleagues

blamed him for a fatal
accident at work.

Young lad called Tom
McKittrick, killed in March.

Helen did you get onto
the dock's management?

Yeah, but they're saying
we need to speak to HSE,

I get the impression
that they're-

Stonewalling.

Yeah.

Right. Let's get down there
and get a bit awkward.

See if we can talk to
the lad's family.

So is that our line of inquiry,

linked to this lad's death?

Yeah, well until we got
something better.

Argument over a parking
space. That'll be it.

[all chuckling]

Very emotive, parking.

Now where are we on his phone?

They got the sim out and now

we're waiting for the provider.

Right. Hey, where are you going?

You stay here, get that
leg up, Hopalong.

Kenny, you're with me.

Family services wanna know,
if we judge the home to be

a suitable environment for Lila.

Suitable? How?

Well I think what they're
driving at is,

are the family under suspicion.

Are they? What about
the son, Cameron?

Have we verified he
was with his mate?

Uniform are there as we speak.

Is he adopted?

Yeah. And they've also
fostered quite a few.

That's why they're asking
us before piling in.

Right. And what about mum?
Where was she on the night?

Placed at Hattington
Leisure Center.

Dance instructor is coming
in to give his statement.

Right. So are they
under suspicion or?

Well. Tell the truth.
At the present time,

the family are not
under suspicion.

Okay.

Right.

[machine noises]

[Woman] Head office
haven't rung me.

[Vera] No, we didn't tell
them we were coming love.

[Woman] You should really
speak to someone from London.

Oh, we just wanna
see his office,

see if we can get an
idea of his day to day.

You know.

Are his family okay?

Very shocked.

I would send a card only,
well, what do you say.

[Vera] Right.

[Woman] He was only in Friday.

Was he himself?

I'd say he's definitely
been quieter recently.

But, maybe there was a
lot going on at home.

And what about at work?
There was a fatality

on his watch, wasn't there?

You'd have to ask head office,
I'm not across the case.

[Kenny] If you can just
give us the basics.

A lad Tom McKittrick, got
trapped under a crate.

His side tried to make
out the rig was faulty.

And his side being?

There's been a compo
case, finished last month.

They tried to say,
but it was dodgy,

but all the safety checks
were sound and-

And was it Owen's job
to do the safety checks?

Yes. Sign them off and
log them on the system,

which he did. That's why
they found in our favor.

That and...

And what?

They found cannabis in
Tom's blood, after he died.

I'm not saying he
was at fault but.

So why are the people
here blaming Owen?

Tom's dad, Mick, he's
been here years,

people might have listened.

And is this Mick here today?

No. He's left in June. I think

the polite word is breakdown.

So how does Mick's compo
being refused tally time-wise,

with that fight outside
the docker's pub?

I think it was the day after.

So likely to be linked.

Maybe. Didn't get the
money, lost his rag.

A dry run for Saturday night.

[engine noise]

[ominous music]

Mick McKittrick?

Yeah.

Need to talk to you, love. DCI-

Is this about Tom? Have
you found something?

Is she all right? His Ellie?

Shocked, I think.

That will be tough for her.
I know how that one feels.

Why'd you need me?

Well it's our understanding
that you blamed Owen

for the death of your son.

I do, yeah. I did.

Can I ask why?

Look. Tom knew what he was
doing, so it stands to reason

the equipment wasn't right.
He'd watched me do it

since he was a kid.

Then why did the company
say the check had been done?

They would, wouldn't they.

He'd been slacking off for
months, it was common knowledge.

Why'd you think the
lads are all on my side?

In what way slacking off?

Oh, I don't know,
he'd checked out.

His mind was elsewhere.
15 years I've known him

and he wouldn't admit
it. Pulled rank on me,

lied to my face. I
deserve better than that.

[Kenny] Did you have
a rock about it ?

No.

What about outside the Ship
about three weeks back?

No.

What about Saturday night.
Where were you?

I was at home. Up Jacob's
Creek without a paddle.

I'll get Mick's phone
checked in and his car.

Get the CSO's that cautioned
the fight brought in

and we'll do an ID.

Oh. Now Owen told community

the fight was his fault, right?

Yeah.

Now if Mick had gone
for him outside that pub

and Owen didn't say,
could that be

because he felt guilty
about the cover up?

Maybe. Explains why
he took the blame.

Possibility, isn't it.

Yeah.

And when you think about
it, maybe that's why

he didn't mention the
accident to his family.

Couldn't look them in the eye.

Bring the family back in,
let's get a formal statement.

And get on to HSE,

see if you can clock
anything they've missed.

Oh no. Another crack team
from the safety squad?

[Vera] Chuckles.

Voila. Owen's phone,
good as new.

Did you get anything off it?

Seven calls from
a withheld number

within the ten minutes
prior to his death.

So someone was badgering
him. Right.

See if you can trace that
withheld number. Top priority.

Oh now, hang on. Kenny.
Give me McKittrick's phone.

Right. Let's see if
Owen's on here. Yep.

[phone ringing]

Mick McKittrick.

So it wasn't Mick
ringing him on the night.

What about texts?

Deleted from the handset,

we're getting them
from the server.

He cleared his handset?
Well what was he up to?

Eye off the ball at
work, drinking,

family all saying nothing
to see here.

Did we place Cameron
at his mate's house?

Yeah. Greg confirmed. And the
neighbors saw him returning,

you know, shortly
before we arrived

with the mom and the sister.

Do you want something?

S-s-sorry. Bethany said to come

as soon as I found anything.
Well I've been trawling through

the street CCTV.

Right.

Yeah, that's Owen. Who's
the other fellow?

[Man] Oh, I don't know.

Well get this blown up, see
if uniform can get an ID.

[typing noise]

I know him. Logan Tilley.
Drug dealer. Minor league.

More a delivery boy
than a player.

Well Owen didn't have anything
in his bloodstream, did he?

No.

So what's his business
with our victim?

[ominous music]

[loud knocking]

Anyone? Police!

[loud knocking]

Right. Put a call out for
him. Oy, I got my eye on that.

Hey, it's me. Can you
give me an all points

on Logan Tilley?

Right uniform are
out looking him.

But there's been a development
on Mick McKittrick.

He's used his travel pass
on a bus from Hattington

to Newcastle about six pm.

So he lied about where he was.

And we can also place
him in Newcastle

the same time as Owen.

And I felt sorry
for him and all.

[engine starting]

Oh, here we go. There he is.

[engine revving]

Just take him through.

What's his excuse
for lying to us?

Riding the buses to save
on heating. Said he forgot.

You weren't at home, we know
that. So where were you?

Come on, it's for your own
sake. Look you're well known

to have a grudge, so
we've got our motive.

So come on Mick. Stop
me chasing my tale.

Where were you?

[sighs] I valet cars,
near the station.

I've started claiming disability
so I didn't wanna say.

Oh, taking advantage of the
great British tax payer?

They've cut the legal
aid, I'm desperate.

I thought I'd pay the money
back when I got the compo.

So check out the car wash
and while you're at it

take in my motor.
There's a love.

Get them to pull a hoover
through. Keys are in my coat.

What've we got?

Logan's file. No violence,
mainly drug offenses,

intent to supply, possession.

Court appearance for
child neglect?

Yeah.

Lost custody in March 2012

after child was left home
alone. Currently in foster care.

[ominous music]

That's Lila's dad, isn't it?

Just bumped into him
while I was getting chips.

Okay. So why didn't
you mention it?

I though I did.

No. Did you speak to
him yourself, love?

Dad, Owen, wouldn't let me.

Why not?

Just knew I'd get upset again.

You didn't know she'd seen him?

She didn't mention it.
But she's traumatized,

maybe that's why.

[Aiden] Had she been
in touch with him?

No. We'd have come down on that.

Does she ever conceal things?

No. Not anymore. Since
we've had her,

she's a changed girl.
Responsible. Kind. Confident.

That's why we're
so proud of her.

Had you been in regular contact?

No. Not at all.

Ah. So when did you
last see him? You know,

prior to the chippy?

When I got to the prom,
Logan was waiting for me.

Said he wanted to see me
in my dress. Take me in.

Dad's weren't even supposed
to be there.

Owen would've come if they were.

Anyway, he started
slagging off Owen.

Saying he didn't care
about me and stuff.

I got upset. He left.
My form teacher rang

and Owen picked me up.

Do you think he followed
you to the car park?

I don't know but, he
wants me to live with him.

He's not gonna do something
to get himself in trouble.

Do you wanna live with him?

No! I want them to adopt me.

They're the ones that
love me. He doesn't.

Lila, if you've not
been in contact,

how'd he know about the prom?

He looks at my feed all
the time. Makes comments.

He just won't leave me alone.

[phone ringing]

"Best night ever."
"Best family ever."

Told uniform it was
to send a message

to the girls in her form.

Send a message to
her dad more like.

Not exactly to rub his nose
in it, but to make her point.

Poor lass. Hold it.

That one's taken
at the car park.

So if Logan saw that,
he could've tracked them

to the car park.

Well I'm banned from the
city center, aren't I.

I've got an ASBO on me.

Well you broke that. You
tracked your daughter

to a school dance city
center. And you were caught

on CCTV in the alley back
of Castle Street chippy.

Right, so, I'm not
allowed to eat chips now?

Where you had an altercation
with Owen Thorne.

So?

So. He was found dead
20 minutes later.

I didn't know that.
Is Lila all right?

[Vera] Chuckles.

[Aiden] Not really.

Well does that mean they
won't get to adopt her?

That what you want it to mean?

Why did you go and see her?

I just wanted to say
goodbye before the adoption

that's all. See her
in her prom dress.

Why? Last time you had
a contact appointment,

you failed to turn up.

But that's because sign
this thing in, isn't it.

See, they screwed me over.

I asked for an appointment
I could make.

What did you say to
Owen in the alley?

I just wanted to apologize
to my daughter. That's all.

I know I upset her.
But he sent me packing,

made me look daft. And
he loved that, didn't he.

Power trip.

And you just left it
at that, did you?

Yeah. I called him
a filthy pervert

and then I went on my way.
I mean, what kind of a man

wants to live with other
people's children, hm?

Look, he's got her sucked in.

Just take a look at
her Facebook page,

it's all "best ever dad", but
they don't love her like I do.

They're not her blood.

And did you love her
when you left her

without food for days on end,
whilst you went on a bender?

I had an illness. When she's
older, she'll understand.

Right. Arrest him on
suspicion of murder

and get him a solicitor.

Get DNA swabs couriered
over to Marcus

and get a blood test done.

Let's see if he's clean.
Got all that?

Got it.

Right now we are moving
our focus to this fellow.

Logan Tilley. That's
Lila's father.

Now possible motive,
an argument over Lila,

maybe trying to scupper
the adoption all together.

That was the tagging company.

Good. Can they place
Tilley at the car park?

No. Their GPS puts Tilley
in Morrison's

at the same time Owen's
putting money in the machine.

Right. Okay, change of plan.

Don't arrest him on
suspicion of murder.

Caution him for breaking
the ASBO.

Well we're back to square
one then, aren't we.

[door squeaking]

Ma'am, mobile data's
come through.

The victim's last text was
to someone called Hannah.

Hannah who?

[Kevin] He says, "sorry,
can't make it tonight.

Bit under the weather."

Under the weather? Well
no one else has mentioned

Owen being under the
weather. Have they?

So was that before or
after the message

to pick up Lila from the prom?

It's before. Hannah replies,
"No worries."

And a photo comes up,
with her contact.

Right. Well, ring her.
Let's get her in.

Eh, the phone's out of
service. Sim's been taken out.

[ominous music]

Hannah.

[waves splashing]

[ominous music]

[Mother] Is this about Logan?

No, we are no longer
treating him as a suspect.

See, it were never gonna
be your fault, never.

You got that?

We're wondering if you
could ID someone.

I don't know her. Who is she?

[Aiden] Just someone
we're trying to trace.

Why?

How about you, pet?

No. I don't recognize her.

Well we think your husband
was in communication

with her just before he
died. Now did he tell you

he was meeting anyone?

No. He said he was staying in.

Now is it possible he
could've lied about that?

Or changed his plans?

Maybe. If he had a good
reason I suppose.

Cam, is this girl
a friend of yours?

No. No, she um, I think
she volunteers with dad

down at Jump Start.

Oh, right. Well that makes
sense. He did some mentoring

with a homeless charity.

Yeah. He met loads of
people down there.

Right. Well thanks very
much. We'll look into that.

[engine noise]

I did wonder if it
was the same Owen

when I heard it on the
radio. That is sad.

It's really sad.

How long did he volunteer?

Perhaps a year, maybe longer.

He was very good. He
was quite experienced

with young people
who were troubled.

Did this girl volunteer
with him?

No. That's Hannah Ferris.
She was a service user.

Right. So did you pair them up?

Um. He brought her into us.

Is that what normally happens?

No. Normally social
services refer care leavers,

but she was begging I think.
She was in a terrible state,

weighed about six stone.

He asked us to get her
into accommodation.

Did that strike you as odd?

Not really. I mean we knew
him, she was desperate

and seemed legitimate.
It was, wasn't it?

[melancholic music]

It's not exactly the five
star treatment, is it.

If he was trying to
pull a fast one.

[knocking]

[Landlady] She pays on time.

[Aiden] Any trouble? Incidents?

[Landlady] No. Not like some.

[Aiden] How long's she
been living here?

She been here nearly six
months, works funny hours.

Doing what? Is she local?

I'd say she's Mancunian
from her accent.

Have you seen this fellow?

Yeah I have. Parks his
Chrysler out front.

Once, more than once?

Mm, once a week maybe he
is. He said he was a mate,

but I presumed he
was, you know...

A client.

Hannah Ferris?

Yeah.

DCI Stanhope.

We're investigating the
death of Owen Thorne.

Oh, right yeah, I heard.
What do you want me for?

Well could we have
a little chat?

Okay. Could you check
with my supervisor,

I've had my break.

Do you remember receiving
this text from Mr. Thorne?

"Sorry can't make it tonight.
Bit under the weather."

Now that was sent 7.30
Saturday evening.

Yeah, of course.

Why were you meeting up?

It was my birthday.
Bunch of us were meeting

in the pub. He said he might
drop in if he was in the area.

Can we see your phone?

I lost it Saturday night.
I think it got nicked.

How did you and Owen first meet?

This charity. Jump Start.

Now that's not what
they told us.

Well it was. I was begging.
He found me

-and they sorted me out a room.
-And when was that?

About six months back.

And you've been friends since?

Not friends. We just
met up every so often,

talk about life skills.

[Aiden] Where did you meet?

He'd pick me up and we'd go
to coffee shops and stuff.

So you met at home.

Yeah. It wasn't a big
thing. If I'm honest,

I think he was just
trying to tick a box

that he'd helped vulnerable
adults.

They were adopting,
looks good on the form.

Your landlady thought he
might have been a client.

No he bloody wasn't! God's sake.

I'm not some sort of crack head.

I barely knew him if I'm honest.

Now but that didn't stop
you inviting him

to your birthday party.

I invited loads of people.

Bit weird though, isn't
it? Man twice your age.

It's not weird at all. I
wasn't sleeping with him,

if that's what you're
getting at. Ask him. Go on.

Ask them. Ask Caz, ask
Mario. He's my manager,

he's twice my age.
They all came.

Owen said he was sick.
I was like, no worries.

Why you even asking me?

Well he didn't mention
to his family

that he was meeting you. Now
why do you think that is?

I don't know. Maybe had
other plans or just forgot.

Can I get back to it?

Honestly, don't know any
more about how he passed.

Where you from originally, hm?

What's that accent, Manchester?

Rochdale, but yeah. I had
some mates come to college

up here and sort of
fell out with them.

Well we will be checking
your movements

on Saturday evening.

Look, it's not ideal,
is it, pet.

A B&B on the Longley
Road. Can you not go home?

Have you got any family?

My mom, passed away.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. Got
back on my feet.

Could you pass on my
condolences to Ellie and stuff?

He talked about his family then?

Oh yeah. Banged on
about how love

can turn peoples lives
around. Soppy git like that.

Where's Bethany?

She's double checking alibis.

Right. You can do it.
Get on to the care system

in Rochdale, see if they
can trace Hannah Ferris.

She says there's
nothing untoward,

and you know what, I'm
inclined to believe her.

But then, you know, a
man that age, young lass.

Not open about it, deletes
her from his phone.

It all just smackes of
inappropriate, doesn't it?

Well if he was, you
know, with younger women,

do we need to alert the social
to safeguard the others?

Yeah, I think you do. Air
on the side of caution.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Ma'am this just
came in from forensics.

A footprint, they only
found it last night,

with the UV. Right by the
edge of where he fell from.

And not just passing
by they reckon.

That shape and size. Got
to be a woman's, hasn't it?

Ma'am. The pay-as-you-go
that called the victim

on the night was bought
last year from a phone shop

in Heaton Chapel. That's in-

Manchester.

[Kenny] Yes.

Brilliant, Kenny. Brilliant.

We think it might have
been Hannah's phone

called him just before
he died. Please tell me

her alibi isn't stacking up.

Sorry. Work have
got photos of her

downing shots on the night.

Put her in Labyrinth in
Hattington around time of death.

Right, get back to the
office when you can.

Ma'am.

What are you doing here?

I though you were
checking alibis?

Yeah, I was. I was
checking Ellies.

But I just drove over from
Hattington Leisure Center.

It took me seven minutes less
than Ellie said it took her.

Were you speeding?

No.

Right. So at a whisker, she
could have got here early,

pushed him over or whatever
and then doubled back

to make eyes at uniform
on the cordon.

A whisker.

Yeah, well a whisker
is all it takes, pet.

Okay. What about this.

Hannah's calling him
over and over.

Why, let's not speculate.
We know she's drunk,

so maybe that's enough.

Mum turns up, just as just as
he's on the phone to Hannah,

jumps to conclusions,
rightly or wrongly,

decides to confront him with it.

Follows him up to the
top of the car park.

So that's what he
sees on the CCTV.

Yeah, well it makes
sense. She confronts him,

there's a row and-

Ugh!

[everyone giggles]

Well I don't buy it.
Timing's too tight.

You sure she left at
the end of the class?

Yeah.

Where's that statement from
the fitness instructor?

Here you go.

Oy.

Yeah, I've not messed up the
times, I spoke to him myself.

Yeah, but you've missed
something else, pet.

What?

Get your coat.

[waves splashing]

That's her, isn't it?

Right. I might limp out
there on my own for this one.

[waves splashing]

[Phone message] Hi
love, it's only me.

Listen I don't know if you
got the message about Lila.

If you don't call us
back in ten minutes,

I'll get myself over
there, okay? Have fun.

Don't delete it, will
you. Just, I nearly did.

Just automatic.

No I won't delete it.

Why'd you need to hear it?

Well you told me, you picked
up the message about Lila

at the end of the class.

Mm.

And you drove straight
up. Yet when we checked

with Jenny, was it?

Jenny, yeah.

She confirmed you
left at the end.

Exactly.

But can I read you
her statement?

She says, "Ellie told
me she was going

to pick up Lila early,
so I canceled to Turkish

in the break."

Yeah, we were gonna
go for a meal after.

Yeah. "And then after class
Ellie left straight away."

Well that's what I
said, wasn't it?

Well, no. No you said
you picked up the message

at the end of class. But
if she canceled the Turkish

in the break, you must
have got the message

half way through.

So why didn't you
leave immediately?

Why was that?

I just wanted to do the class.

Ah. Now you see, it strikes me,

you're pretty devoted to Lila.

So there would have to be
a bigger reason than that

to leave the lass in town in
tears. Were you angry with her?

Or him?

No.

You see, love, it's plausible

we can place you in the car
park at the time of death.

So it'd be much easier
for both of us

if you just come clean.

Owen's not always where
he says he is.

There were a parking fine. I
found it hidden in his drawer.

For a time he was supposed
to be on shift.

And that night. I
got the feeling

he was planning something
he weren't telling me.

So you thought, if
he picked Lila up,

then he wouldn't be able
to do whatever it was

you thought he might be doing.

Now why didn't you tell
us that at the start?

I hoped it were paranoia.
Was he cheating on me?

Ah. I don't know, love.
Do you think he was?

I'm sensing it was awkward.

She had her suspicions. Left
it so he'd do the pick up.

So admitted to motive.

Uh, at a stretch. But I'm
not getting the feeling she'd

be wound up enough to
give hubby a shove.

You know, woman scorned and
all that, strength of ten men.

I think she was more in denial.

What was it Logan Tilley
said about Lila.

He had her sucked in.

Maybe Owen's just one
of those blokes

that gets away with everything.

I don't know. Maybe
he was a good bloke

and this was just a
random encounter.

And that footprint,
nothing to do with him.

Just to do with some
other poor soul

trying to top themselves.

Or maybe he topped himself
over the sight of this.

90 quid for a tire
over the line.

[chuckles] I've had worse.

Let me have another
look at that.

5th of March, eight am to
midday, parked in Lovel Avenue.

Doesn't ring a bell,
where is that?

Not the place! The date!

It's when that crate fell
on that lad and killed him.

When Owen was supposedly
doing the safety checks.

We can place Owen off
site at the time

he was supposedly checking
the safety of the rig.

Do we know why Owen was
parked where he was?

Lovel Avenue, right
beside the car park

-at A&E in Mountford General.
-He was at the hospital?

We're checking in-patients.

Right. Kenny how did the
safety squad miss this?

Well he clocked in at the docks

and the check was
registered on the software

that monitors the procedures.

Could that be tampered with?

Their head office said

it's inputted from
a computer on site.

So I'm guessing, aye.

Right.

[typing noise]

Gloria.

Oh, no.

Okay.

The day that lad was killed,

did you sign Owen in as being
at work, when he wasn't?

'Cause somebody did.

Ah. He rang first thing.
Said he was running late.

Some family crisis or other. I
said I'd clock him in anyhow,

so he wouldn't have
to use his leave.

I know it's wrong. I just
thought I was turning a blind
eye.

He was usually reliable.

Oh. We heard he was
slacking off.

If he was, I had not
picked up on it.

So you went into the system
and falsified the checks.

He said he'd done it, just
hadn't had time to log it.

Do you still believe that?

I did, but maybe
he convinced me.

To what, cover it up?
Never mind the truth,

never mind Mick McKittrick?

At the time, I was
trying to do him a favor,

I knew he was stressed at
home, he thought he could lose

his daughter if he
was under a cloud.

Seemed like too pig a
price just 'cause he'd

not ticked a box on the system.

I believed it at the time.

So what was the family crisis?

I don't know.

What, all that hoo-ha
and you never asked?

We didn't go over
it and over it.

It was a white lie
that snowballed.

Gloria Edwards covered
up for Owen.

Clocked him in when he
was at the hospital.

Now would you check her alibi?
She says she was eating alone

at a restaurant on Quayside.

So she was in the area.

She was in town, yes.

Mystery woman on the roof.

Yeah could be. I mean she
could've got there on foot.

What is it, a ten minute walk?

What about the cover-ups
turned sour.

She's threatening to blow
the lid in it or he is

or they both are, have a
massive row and over he goes.

Yeah, maybe. But
then you'd think

they'd want to stick
together, wouldn't you.

Get on to the hospital.
Find out why Owen was there

and Helen get on to health
and safety, tell them

we got new information
on Tom McKittrick.

That's one thing that
we can resolve at least.

[engine noise]

Doesn't mean the rig was faulty.

But well, doctored paper trail,
you definitely have a case.

I'm not sure I could face it.

You might get your compo.

I didn't want the money,

I wanted to know it
wasn't Tom's fault.

Doesn't take away the
cannabis, does it?

No.

I should've known, somehow
stopped him.

What was Owen doing?
Was he down the Ship?

Well we think he might
have been at the hospital.

So, there might be a
good reason, like I mean,

not just that he didn't
give a damn.

Mm-hm.

[waves splashing]

I can barely remember last
week, let alone March.

Was there some kind of
family problem that morning?

No, I'd remember.

Mrs. Thorne, think please,
it's important.

Do you think I'm lying?

Well I think if there
was a family problem,

particularly one involving
an A&E admission,

you might want to
conceal it, yes.

Why? Why would I do any of this?

Well for starters social
services were watching you.

Assessing you, week in week out

and you had a lot riding
on that going well.

Now did something
happen to Lila?

No! If something happened,
we'd have been honest.

We didn't go around telling
lies, covering stuff up.

And you told me this morning,

your husband wasn't
particularly open with you.

It's this girl. What
were he doing with her?

We don't know for sure.

Tell me.

Mum. He wouldn't have,
okay. He loved you.

Right. Give me her number
and I'll ask her myself.

Just get it out in open.

Mom, they can't do that.

Well what do I do then?
Just sit here in limbo

waiting for the next slap in
the face? Is it down to you

they're putting the
adoption on hold?

It might be, yes. We're
obliged to tell them

we're still making inquiries
into your family, I'm sorry.

Well thanks for that. Thanks.

That was the only thing
keeping her going.

[melancholic music]

Her name is Gloria Edwards.

Yes, I saw her. She
was on her own.

Did she make a reservation?

Table five's set aside for
walk in's so probably not.

But she was here for sure.

[melancholic music]

Here you are. Right.

So the day that Owen
goes to AWOL from work

and is parked outside
Mountford General,

there's a female admitted
under the name of Ferris

for alcohol poisoning.

Hannah?

Well the patient's taken home

before she can be
properly admitted.

So the nurse writes her
off as a time waster.

But we know that Hannah
gets off her face.

So..

So?

I'm thinking. Hannah gets
messed up. She wants attention,

she wants him to come
running after her.

What, she's pretending?

Well, maybe it's a false alarm?

He gets back to work by
midday but he can't tell them

the real reason why he's
late for the safety checks

because, well he's
in a relationship.

Right.

You know she put him down,
her fancy man as next of kin.

Oh come on boss, even you've
got to be impressed with that.

Oh I am, pet. I am. Except
you are missing the obvious.

He's not her fancy man,
he is her next of kin.

Come on.

[melancholic music]

My mom found his details
on the internet.

You said your mom was dead.

Before she died. I found
them stored on the laptop.

I came looking.

So all that stuff about
you begging was a lie.

He wanted to give me
money for rent, I said no.

But I was hard up so I let
him refer me to the charity.

Was he glad you made contact?

Yeah. We had a big family party.

Look, I was a mess. He
wasn't exactly thrilled but,

he wasn't made of stone either.

Why'd you come looking?

I just did. Wouldn't you?

I'm not saying everyone
has to be 2.4 kids but,

you need to know where
you come from, don't you?

And where do you come from?

A one nighter. He was
quite open about that.

Before they adopted Cameron,
him and Ellie I think

were having a bit of a bad time.

I think with the fertility
treatment and all that.

Anyway this one night, goes
out, gets it on with my mom,

bang, that's me. One hit wonder.

You can see why he didn't
want his wife to know.

It's not nice, is it.

So he didn't actually have a
relationship with your mom?

No. He knocked her
up, she asked but,

he wasn't interested. So
she moved to Manchester

to start again. Got married
for about two minutes.

It's like she told me,
getting pregnant with me

ruined her life. But
you know, I'm over it.

Why did she look for
him on the internet?

Torture herself I think.
She was a bit crackers

if I'm honest.

How'd your mum die?

Topped herself.

Do you blame your dad at
all for the rejection?

Not so as I'd kill him.

How'd you feel about him
missing your birthday?

Something came up probably,
we weren't his priority.

Honestly I didn't mind.

Right.

Why were you hospitalized?

When?

Few months back, March.

No. Don't know anything
about that.

I'll chase the hospital,
see if she's lying.

Well it doesn't alter the
fact that at the time of death

she was in a club with
her mates. Think.

What does this mean?
Him having another kid.

Biological one at that.
Well it certainly gives mum

something to be hacked
off about, doesn't it?

Possible.

Let's bring her in, do
a formal interview.

Or should I be looking
at Lila? A girl that age,

capable of...

Ma'am. This fellow's
been waiting an hour.

It's that docker. You
waiting for me?

Yeah. We've heard.

You've heard what?

That you got Mick his evidence.

Right. Yes, we have,
that's good news.

Well where I'm from, one
good turn deserves another.

I saw the fight.

The fight outside the pub?

Yeah. He wasn't being
vicious, he just, pushed him

and Owen fell on his back.
Bang, straight on the curb.

Didn't know his own
strength, I'd say.

Who pushed him. Was this
Mick McKittrick?

No.

It was Cameron. His son.

[knocking]

He's not picking up his mobile.

And this Greg, definitely
vouched for Cameron?

Yeah.

Well get Kenny to double check.

Did you trace his mobile
on the night?

No, 'cause his friend
vouched for him.

Lila, Lila love. I'm
looking for Cameron.

Do you know where he is love?

Yeah. He's working.

Oh, great. Thanks.

At Hattington Golf Course.

Right. Are you all right?

No?

What's up?

They're saying they
have to move me.

Oh. I'm sorry. Hey, I'm
sorry, I'm gonna have to

ask you something, pet.

Now did Cameron and
Owen have a falling out

within the last month?

Right. Gonna ruin his life now?

Oh no, I'm only asking
because a witness said

he thought they might have
had a fight. Did they?

They did yeah.

What was it about?

Dad was cheating on mum.
With that homeless girl.

Saw his car outside
where she lives.

Cam went ballistic about it.
Owen told him he got it wrong.

We believed him.

Right.

But you know different,
don't you.

That's why you're looking
for her, isn't it?

He's on compassionate leave.

But his sister was under
the impression

he was working today.

Yeah, I mean he did come on
early, but I sent him home.

Why is that?

Well he were caddying for
some fellows on a corporate

but he started to get upset,
lost it with them I think.

Right, thanks mate.

Unaccounted for since
11 AM this morning.

We need to speak to him
in connection with

and assault on his dad three
weeks prior to the murder.

[energetic music]

[doorbell ringing]

[phone ringing]

DCI Stanhope.

Oh, hello, it's Jane
Anne from Jump Start.

We've just had a lad in, looking
for info on Hannah Ferris.

Right what did you tell him?

Nothing. We have procedures.
But he was quite angry

and I think he may have
been Owen's son.

Thanks love.

[ominous music]

Let's see if we can find
Hannah before Cameron does.

Bring her in as a precaution.

[energetic music]

Hello. Hannah?

[ominous music]

He'll have seen this.

Seat Leon. Registration
alfa, charlie, foxtrot,

male, early twenties.
Possibly with Hannah Ferris.

Scrub that.

It's all right, love.
It's all right.

We think Owen's son Cameron's
been looking for you.

They found the car
but not the driver.

Well that's good. If he's
on foot it'll be easier.

He's back in coverage, we've
got him down by the docks.

Right. Get uniform down there,
but don't scare him off.

Might have a bee in his bonnet

and we don't want anyone
getting stung.

[Police] Keep your
distance. Come away with me.

[ominous music]

Why were you looking for Hannah?

I just want a straight answer.

Mum's tearing herself to bits.

Is that why you knocked
your dad about last month,

get a straight answer?

You see, we find these
things out eventually.

Was he lying to me? And
I groveled to him,

because I thought
I got it wrong.

Well as far as we can tell
he was not having an affair.

Not with Hannah anyway.

Why are you so sure
he was carrying on?

I'm not. Look, if I tell you,
you can't tell mum, okay.

She's hurt enough as it is.

All right, come on.

The day he died, a reminder
popped up on his phone,

a booking for a restaurant
in Quayside.

Now if he wasn't
up to something,

why didn't he tell us about it?

Aiden. Get uniform
down to the docks.

Tell them to bring
Gloria Edwards in.

I think Owen might have been
meeting her at the restaurant.

Oh and Helen, get onto Ellie,
tell her, her son's here.

[sirens]

Okay, thank you. Ma'am the
manager said that there's

no booking at the
name of Edwards.

However, there was a booking
in the name of Ferris.

Well why would Hannah
have been there? Unless.

Hold on. Helen. Did
you find a record

of Hannah's mothers suicide?

I didn't get a call back
from Manchester,

I've been chasing.

So we don't know for
certain she's dead.

[melancholic music]

Right. Is your mother
Gloria Edwards?

Works with Owen at the docks.

You can tell me now or I
can look up the records

and then arrest you for
perverting the course of
justice.

[slamming papers]

Yes. She went back to work
there in the last year, yes.

Is Ferris your real name?

It's the name of the
bloke she married.

She does use it sometimes.

Now why did she come back
up here from Manchester?

I was here. She wanted
to be close to me.

Now you see, I think
she came back up here

to reconnect with Owen.

Maybe. Hiding to nothing
there. I told you,

she likes to torture herself.

Why did you tell
us she was dead?

I told you. Dad didn't
want Ellie knowing anything

about me.

Oh. So you were protecting
his family.

See, I think you're protecting
your mum. But from what?

We've checked with the
restaurant, there was a
birthday meal

booked for three, name
of Ferris, cake on order

and neither you nor
Owen turned up.

I never had any other
expectation.

So why book it?

I didn't. Mum did. He
wasn't interested, I wasn't.

I think she felt I was
too forgiving on him.

She wanted him to prove he
cared, to lie to his wife,

put us first. I told
you, she's crackers.

And you weren't bothered?
Not at all?

I didn't wanna turn his
life upside down.

He loved his family, I
understood that.

But he didn't love you.

We barely knew each other.
I'm not saying he didn't care

but anyway, he politely
declined last minute.

So why did your mum
still go to the Quayside?

She just didn't get the message

til she got to the
restaurant. As far as I know,

she turned around and went home.

Hey, ma'am, uniform can't
locate the suspect at the docks.

[doorbell ringing]

I just wanted to offer
my condolences in person.

I'm Gloria from the docks.

All right. Well thank you.
I'm about to head out.

I have to pick up my son.

Would you like me
to drive you down?

Wouldn't be any trouble.

[ominous music]

Come on love! Where
might she have gone?

I don't know.

I'd advise you to stop
protecting her.

Of course I'll protect
her, she's my mum.

Ma'am. I can't fin
Ellie at the house,

but they've found
her phone smashed

with an abort to call 999.

Where is she? Ask her
where she'd go!

[Police woman] Come back!

Not in here son, get him out.

[Police woman] Come on!

[Cameron] She knows!

Now Hannah, help us
out here will you love?

Where shall we look?
Is there somewhere

she had a connection with?

There's a causeway. She
talked about it before.

What?

Driving off it.

[engine noise]

Where are we going?

Don't know. You can
get out if you want.

My daughter will be
waiting for me.

Oh well, if it's your
daughter needs attention,

I'll drop everything, shall I!

"We're not his priority."
That's what Hannah said.

She told me. She bloody told
me her mother was still alive

and I didn't spot it. That
was her at the hospital

not her daughter. Patient
called Ferris,

crying alcohol poisoning.
Only that was a con,

wasn't it. She calls
he comes running.

[Radio] All units.
DC Blake thinks

they've spotted her on the
B23 eastbound carriageway.

Oh, that's back the other
way. I know these roads,

hang on to your eyebrows.

[tires screeching]

[ominous music]

It was going on for years.
Right under your nose.

I don't believe you.
It's all rubbish.

It's not. He was waiting
til Lila was sorted.

I mean that was all you
cared about wasn't it.

Staying together for
the sake of the kids.

It was tough for him.

That's not what he said. You
weren't seeing him for years.

Believe what you want. Never
know for sure, will you.

[ominous music]

Come on, floor it!

No I don't wanna encourage her.

[engine revving]

What's she doing?
What's she doing?

[engine noises]

[car honking]

[tires screeching]

[ominous music]

[Aiden] Ellie?

[sirens]

That's all right. Deep
breaths. Help's here.

You're all right.
It's all right.

[both sigh]

[melancholic music]

Ignore her love. You
did the right thing.

[melancholic music]

[Vera] So you're at the
restaurant, no one turns up.

What happens next?

I get the message, I go home.

Well I don't believe that's
true. Give us another one.

Thanks.

Okay then. Now your
daughter told us

you like to track Owen
on the internet.

Torture yourself with
what he's up to.

So um, let's have a little
look at this. Right.

I think this came up
on your phone. Mm?

Owen Thorne tagged, having
a laugh in the city center

when he should have been
with you in the restaurant.

Told lies, didn't he. Said
he was under the weather.

But this is rubbing
it in, isn't it?

I didn't care. I just went home.

No you didn't, love. You
rang him, didn't you.

And my money is on you
told him you were coming

for a showdown.

No, like I say, I went home.

Well that's funny. 'cause
GPS has mapped this phone,

your phone, to Eastgate.

You phoned him seven
times in ten minutes.

You were at the scene.

No.

-You were upset.
-I didn't give a damn.

And you'd gone to confront him.

And how would I do that, have
you seen the size of him?

And the size of me?

Hannah's also told us,

you have a history of attempted
suicide, is that right?

So did you threaten
to throw yourself

off the top of that
car park, love?

Is that why Owen was
at the barrier?

I just couldn't take
it any more.

Seeing what he was
doing to Hannah.

What? What was he doing to her?

It ruined her. The
rejection, it ruined her.

And the blatant lying.
"Under the weather."

Thinks it won't affect her,
thinks she'll laugh it off.

She won't. Didn't eat for
two years. I had to cope,

single handed.

That must have been
tough. But is it possible,

that it's you who felt rejected?

That it was your hurt,
not Hannah's?

Me?

Mm-hmm.

Oh I couldn't give a
toss. I just went there

to have it out once and for
all. He always put them first.

Didn't matter who he had
to shove out the way.

They weren't even his blood.

So you went just to scare
the daylight out of him?

At that moment I meant to do it.

Don't!

[melancholic music]

Ah.

But he sat next to me. Hmm.
Said he wanted me around.

I... don't know, how he
slipped. Or as we stood up,

his balance went and
the last thing he did,

was try to save my life. [sighs]

You know love, I really
would like to think

that were true. But that would
be you having the last word,

wouldn't it? Against them.
You see, if he'd slipped,

chances are, he would
have landed feet first.

But head first, now that
suggest something else.

Either he dived, or you
gave him a big old push.

[car signal going off]

[ominous music]

But thanks for clarifying
all the details, pet.

I'll get back to you
on them. Thanks Gloria.

[ominous music]

[door slamming]

[wind blowing]

[waves splashing]

[melancholic music]

We just wanted to say thank you

for co operating with them.

I know that can't
have been easy.

If you wanna stand up
front with us, that's fine.

I know he wouldn't just want
you to be a face in the crowd.

Not forever.

[melancholic music]

That's something anyway.

Do you think he would've made
it right with them all after?

When Lila was sorted and
all the dust was settled?

Maybe. But in my experience,
dust never settles really,

does it in life? Ah, come
on, we don't have to stay.

Best private I think.
Let's go and have a drink

to the dust never
settling on us.

[both laugh]

[waves splashing]

Right, boss.

Ah, thanks. We could
go for a proper drink

if you like or do you
got to be somewhere?

Never turn down a pint.
On me, though.

Absolutely, mate.

I've not exactly been
indispensable have I, with my
leg?

Oh well.

That'll teach me to
try and equalize.

Oh I think you've equalized,
pet. You've saved a life now,

haven't you? So you're
quits. Come on.

[melancholic music]
