There's no-one I can
really confide in.

no-one I can trust with a secret,
a confidence.

I feel as though you know me,
however.

I can't explain why.

It's just a feeling.

And I...
I think you'll understand.

So, I'm just...
I'm going to tell you this

so you'll know what happened.

Cheryl!

- I want to see my daughter!
- Leave us alone!

Please, leave us alone.

Where's Lizzie?
She's my daughter.

She doesn't want to see you
right now. So, leave us alone.

Hey, Lizzie, my little princess!

- Hi, Daddy.
- Look, Daddy just wanted to say good night.

- Just go, Johnny, please.
- Shut up! I'm saying good night!

Good night, Daddy.

You ain't coming in here!

You ain't coming in...

I want to kiss her good night.

Hello.

The mother's known to us.
OK. Leave it with me.

Cheryl?
It's Louise Marsh.

I heard what happened.

Cheryl?

- You OK?
- Fine.

We need to talk about Lizzie.

Your daughter Lizzie
would be placed in the care

of the local authority until such
a time that the court can determine

what is in her best interests.

The workings of this court
are confidential.

You are not to
discuss this matter

with anyone except your lawyers.

If you do so,

I shall hold you in
contempt of court

which could mean prison.

Miss Marsh?

Did the police charge anyone
as a result of the incident?

No.
Not during this incident.

I got a caution.
That's all.

- No weapon?
- No.

Was the child in danger?

Yes, your Honour.
That's our belief.

Can I just say something?
Please? I just...

I know Cheryl's a good mother

and I want to say sorry to her
and Lizzie.

You know,
I didn't want to scare 'em.

You know, I did what the lady
from the Social wanted.

I moved out.
But I wanted to see my little girl.

You know,
some fathers don't care.

I care.

It weren't Cheryl's fault
what happened

so, please, don't...
don't do this to her.

Miss Marsh?

We ask the court to place
Lizzie Craddock in our care.

We think she needs that protection.

I can't see,
on the evidence I've heard,

that the threshold for
significant harm has been reached.

I do not believe there are
sufficient grounds to make

such an Interim Care Order.

The application is refused.

Please, Your Honour,
Lizzie Craddock is in danger.

If you truly believe that,
Ms. Marsh,

perhaps you should
have provided the evidence

to make a case for it.

Where do you think you're going,
Kevin?

It's got nothing to do
with you any more, does it?

Come on, boys.

999.
Which service do you require?

Police.
I need the police.

Police.
How can we help?

Please,
I don't know what to do.

someone please help me.

All right. Let's try to stay calm.

Can you tell me what's happened?

It's my daughter.

She's missing.

"Protection"
Part 1 of 2

Stab wound?

Sharp force injury.
No weapon present.

- Stabbed in the back, eh?
- Small irregular tear.

Bruising visible where the handle
of the weapon hit the skin.

What's he doing
in a children's playground, hmm?

Yeah. Nobody really wants
to answer that one.

Can you smell bleach?

Yeah.
I guess it could be.

Strands of human hair
in the victim's right hand.

Here.

Struggle?

Clarissa. Hi.
I'm at a scene, love.

Now?

All right, text me the address.
All right, cheers.

- Got to go.
- What?

Clarissa says it's urgent.

Tell your man I'll be back.

- You tell him.
- I don't want to get into a long conversation.

Jack, you don't have
long conversations.

Detective Inspector Rory Drennan.

Nice to see you.

Nikki Alexander.

Carry on.
Don't let me interrupt.

Killed here or was the body dumped?

Er, almost certainly killed here.
No blood trail.

Discolouration matches
the body position -

it hasn't been moved.

- Livor has set in...
- Any sense of a time of death?

Not yet.
That's what I'm doing.

I'm trying to establish it.

Sorry.
Eager.

- Rigor is fully present...
- Is the forensics bloke coming back?

Sorry.

Rigor is fully present.

That's not going under his tongue,
is it?

No.

I might just...check
something in the car.

I went to wake her up for school,
she weren't in her bed,

- she weren't in the kitchen...
- Where's Lizzie's father?

I don't know.

- Have you told him she's missing?
- Yes.

You've told him
but you don't know where he is?

I called him.

Is he at work?

Doesn't have a job at the minute.

I see.
So, he knows his daughter's missing.

He's not working, why isn't he here?

Is there any other family members
that she may have gone to?

Grandparents?
Friends?

Does she have a mobile?

No.

Forensics.
Are you child protection?

Conroy.

The girl's name's Lizzie Craddock.
Aged eight.

I'm not sure what
we're dealing with yet.

Could be a runaway.
Might be an abduction by the father,

the couple are estranged.

We're looking for the father,
Johnny Craddock, now.

He was cautioned for harassing her.

His excuse was he wanted to see
his daughter. Connect the dots.

- Does he have a key to the house?
- Apparently not.

But it doesn't rule out the possibility
that his daughter let him in.

- Or that he broke in.
- So, we're looking for signs

of forced entry?
Prints. DNA.

- Please.
- Yup.

Well, no sign of forced entry.

No-one came in
or went out of that window.

She could be a runaway?

Could be, but...

clothes are gone.

How many eight-year-olds pack
before they run away?

It's Conroy. I want to initiate
a Child Rescue Alert.

Lizzie Craddock. Eight years old.
Female.

Last seen wearing
pink and white cotton pyjamas.

No ID on the body.
I've taken fingerprints.

I'll run a misspers check
on the PNC.

We can run DNA, see if
the victim's on the database.

Robbery could have been a motive.

But if the victim
hasn't been moved...

Could be homeless?

Could be.
Using it as shelter?

Why do you rob a homeless man?

And why would you kill him?

Maybe it was someone known to him.

I estimate time of death being

somewhere between
12 and 16 hours ago.

So sometime between 7pm and 11pm
last night?

It's hard for me to be more precise.

Air temperature impacts
residual body temperature,

so does clothing, air flow,
body size.

Well, I'll have to find out
what time the playground closes.

Dusk.

How do you know that?

It says "dusk" on the sign
at the entrance to the park.

Thank you.

All ports warning.
Johnny Craddock.

History of violence.
Take into custody.

- Nothing.
- OK?

Advise to approach with caution.
Bye.

- Hey, don't touch me, man.
- Hold on.

- Who are you?
- Johnny Craddock.

When Cheryl called,
I just couldn't believe it.

You know, I didn't know what to do.

I told her to call the Old Bill,
like...

But you didn't come over right away?

No, I tried to call her school
first,

just to make sure
she weren't there.

They've got a breakfast club.

- What's the school's name?
- Holman Hunt.

Sorry, would you mind just waiting
outside while we have a chat?

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

You know, Lizzie means
everything to us, yeah?

If anything happened to her,
I don't know what I'd do.

Do you think it's possible that
Lizzie might have run away?

It's possible, I guess.

Where do you think she'd go?

Where do you live, Mr. Craddock?

I wouldn't hurt my daughter.

But she could be hiding,

- yeah?
- Yeah.

Bruising from a hand grip
is visible on the left forearm...

..as well as scratch marks.

There's a wee girl gone missing.

Police have issued
a Child Rescue Alert.

She had brown hair, Nikki,
long brown hair

like you found
in your victim's hand.

The crime scenes
are about half a mile apart.

- It's not going to be a coincidence, is it?
- Do you have evidence?

Naturally, I've taken hair
from the brush in her room

and a toothbrush.

Well, let's run them
and see if they match.

Compare the hairs
for similarities to see

if they're consistent with each
other while we wait for DNA.

Yup.

Hey.

Hey, Lily, what are you doing?

Back in there.

Kevin Garvey chose to leave.

He didn't want to stay here
any longer.

You met with him regularly?

Of course. But he's 16.

It's his prerogative.

Do you have a sense
of his state of mind?

Determined, I guess.

Did he have a place to go?

He refused to engage
in any kind of conversation.

Sorry.

Louise Marsh.

OK, thanks.

God.

There's been a Child Rescue Alert,

one of my children.

I have to go.

Grandparents or an aunt
or something, that's where she is.

- That would be my guess.
- And that's all it would be.

A guess.

"Stranger danger"
is unbelievably rare.

11 kids a year out of 11 million.

It literally is one in a million.

Reassuring stat
unless you're the one.

You don't take her clothes if you're
intending to kill her, do you?

No. But you might if you were
part of a paedophile ring.

- If you were selling her.
- Who was selling her?

- I don't know - her parents?
- That is very dark.

And we live in a dark world.

Yes. Well, I'm just trying
to stay positive.

Jack? I said, "I'm just trying
to stay positive"

and you say,
"That's unlike you, Clarissa."

And then I say...

Jack?

The hairs share
significant similarities.

We won't know if
it's a definite match

till the DNA results come back.

I found another strand of hair
in a wound under the chin.

I can't be sure if
the wound occurred post-mortem

or ante-mortem, but the hair
was captured in coagulated blood

so we might suspect
it was ante-mortem.

Results of a struggle?

Bruising from the grip of a hand
and scratch marks on the forearm

are consistent with this.

Preliminary investigation
indicates that the victim

died of a penetrating stab injury
to the aorta by a sharp object

that passed through
the mid-thoracic area, T4.

Entered here,

through these ribs
and cut the aorta.

- We never recovered the knife?
- No.

The weapon wasn't a knife.
The tear of the skin

and shape of the wound
makes me think

that the murder weapon
was cylindrical.

6.75 inches long
with a hexagonal handle.

You can see the hit mark
of the handle,

consistent with a screwdriver.

How quickly would he have died?

From the size and location
of the wound, very quickly. Minutes.

He might have thought
it was a punch at first

but he would have been
in immediate distress.

Most of the bleeding
was internal.

Right.

There were wounds on his genitalia.

The skin was broken...
by teeth.

I've swabbed the bite
for saliva DNA.

There are five noticeable
tooth impressions.

There should be a sixth.
The 2-2.

The upper right maxillary
lateral incisor is missing.

The lateral incisor erupts at...

..between eight and nine years old.

I think he was bitten by a child.

Right, OK, thank you.

Are you all right?

What's your name?

Carly.

Do you know Lizzie?

We're best friends.

Do you go to the same school?

We're in the same class.

Do you think she's going to be OK?

I hope so.

Where do you and Lizzie play?

Around here mostly.
The playground. The common.

Did you play yesterday?

No.

Do you think she'd run away?

Maybe. She didn't like it
when her mum and dad shouted.

Where do you think she'd go?

I don't know.
Her dad's? Mine?

She's not at mine.
Dale's?

Is Dale a friend from school?

No. He's her mum's friend.
He's really nice.

Do you think she's going to be OK?

I'm sure she's OK.

Who is Dale?

A bloke I'm friendly with.

A boyfriend!?

Who had direct contact
with your daughter?

Why didn't you mention him before?

- He just comes round here to hang out.
- And "play" with your daughter?

To see me.

What's his surname?

- "Barge".
- Where does he live?!

Requesting a Sex Offenders Register
check, please.

Name's Dale Barge.

Bravo, Alpha, Romeo, Golf, Echo.
Over.

Break it down.

- Police!
- Police!

Clear.

- Clear.
- Clear.

Negative. No previous
or outstanding. Negative.

See, the thing is, son,
it's a bank holiday.

They won't come out,
you see.

Be with you in a minute.
So, you've got to wait...

Kevin?

Well, my God,
I don't believe my eyes!

- How you doing?
- Yeah, I'm OK.

Listen, did you run away
from that home?

I'm 16, Gramps.
I walked away.

Did you phone your mother?

I went home,
but...

I'm sorry.
Did no-one tell you?

They had to move.
The place was vandalised.

After the Social took you
and your sister Cathy,

there were rumours.

People said some horrible things
about them.

They made their life a misery.

Poor Niamh,
she just couldn't stand it.

But the council didn't move them
far.

They couldn't put them in a flat
because she didn't have the kids.

So they put her in a B&B.

- Is she still with him?
- Yes.

And as long as she stays with him,
the Courts and the Social,

they won't let your sisters home.

She won't listen to me.
She won't even talk to me.

Hi.

Here, where you staying?

- Don't know.
- You'll stay with us.

I...
I didn't know how Nan was,

I didn't want to upset her.

What are you talking about?
You'll stay with us, eh?

What I want you to do

is assist us today by
forming a long line,

looking down,
looking left to right,

moving very slowly,

very meticulously. And repeat it.

If you see anything at all, anything
that might be of any significance,

report it to myself,
or any of the other police officers.

Child Protection Team inside?

Yes, sir.

When was the last time you saw Dale?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

A few days ago, I don't know.

- We need to speak to you.
- Give me a minute.

We can't find your daughter

and we can't find Mr. Barge.

Now, I don't think
that's a coincidence.

Have you got a photo of him?

- No. I don't think so.
- No?

Can I see your phone?

Yeah, yeah,
maybe on my phone.

What time did Lizzie get home
from school?

- 3.30.
- Excuse me...

What did she do then?

She went out to play with friends.

What friends, Cheryl?
What are their names?

I don't know.

How are you doing with that photo?

Here, come on, I'll do it.

- Where was she playing?
- I don't know.

What time did she get home?

- I don't know.
- Why don't you know, Cheryl?!

Johnny?

All right, look,
I asked Cheryl to come meet me

in the Duke of Cumberland
to talk things through,

you know, work things out.

Yeah, work things out.

You were at the pub?

Did you check on Lizzie
when you got back from the pub?

I thought she was in bed.

You didn't check on her?
You didn't make sure she was safe?

You know, you gave me a description
of the pyjamas she was wearing

but you didn't see her in them?

You don't know what she was wearing
because you didn't see her.

Cheryl had
a little bit too much to drink.

A bit too much to drink?

Louise Marsh.
Social Services.

- Get her out of here right now!
- You were drunk?

Yeah, she was drunk!

I walked her back from the pub
and then I went home.

You know,
I thought Lizzie was sleeping.

Have you got that photo?

Were you aware of Cheryl's friend?
"Mr. Dale Barge?"

No.

That's "Dale Barge"?

Dale Barge is dead.

How do you feel if you're Cheryl

and your boyfriend wants
your eight-year-old daughter

more than he wants you?

Very angry.

Angry enough to kill him?

Do you have any doubt that Dale
Barge was abusing Lizzie Craddock?

None.

Barge abuses the girl.
The parents kill him.

Where's the girl?

She's already dead.

Where's the body?

If you're the parents,
her body's your defence.

It can prove Barge an abuser.
Why hide it?

Unless you killed her.

But that would make the parents
complicit in the abuse.

We have to hope she's alive.

We solve the murder of Barge,

we find out what
happened to Lizzie.

I want to speak to
the social worker.

Blames herself?

It looks like it.

You've known the family a while?

We were aware of Cheryl Craddock
before Lizzie was born.

Cheryl presented
slight learning difficulties.

We tried to support her
but they're a dysfunctional family.

Johnny has trouble
controlling his anger.

Has he ever acted out?

He threatened to attack me.

I'm sure he's attacked Cheryl,
but she won't say anything.

We encouraged Cheryl to try to put
some space between her daughter

and herself and her husband.

So you encouraged them to split up?

We encouraged her to try to think
about her daughter's safety.

There was an incident a week ago.

Over Mr. Barge?

Something made Mr. Craddock
very angry.

We tried to intervene
and remove Lizzie.

Why didn't you?

The court refused my application.
We didn't have evidence.

No evidence?
Were you speculating?

Yes! That...that's
what I was doing!

What do you want me to say?!
I have to speculate

because if I wait for evidence,
it can be too late.

I have to prevent
vulnerable children from being hurt.

I failed Lizzie Craddock.
She's missing because I'm too late.

It's OK, Louise.

I was worried about her
and I was right to be.

I wish I was wrong.

And the last time you saw Dale?

- A few days ago.
- With Lizzie?

He gave Lizzie a lot of attention.

Did that make you jealous?

Are you OK?

He was a mate.

You trust your mates, don't you?

I knew him from down the pub.

I can't remember how we met,
he was just there.

Cos he fancied me.

I never did nothing with him
and he never tried it on.

We was in the same side
in Sunday league for a bit,

but he was rubbish.

I'm trying to think.

I don't remember the last time
it was just me and him.

He liked to do things
just the three of us.

There's an adventure playground
in the common...

No, never been there.
It's too far.

It's dodgy an' all.

Drugs, gay blokes
and that sort of thing at night.

I tried my best.
We're good parents.

How do you make your living,
Johnny?

I'm a builder.

It's hard to find a job, innit?

What's that got to do with anything?

Wanker.

Why did you split up?

Cos of her.

She put things in my head,
she lied about Johnny,

put things in my head.

You know she did this!
Said things about me.

Turned Cheryl's head,
made her hate me.

Once they're "missing",
they don't come back.

We both know it,
we just can't say it to anyone.

They won't even find a body.

I could have saved her and I didn't.

Saved her from what?

Abuse disguised as love.

Parents who are incapable of being
anything other than selfish.

I knew Cheryl was weak
and Johnny was dangerous.

But I ended up helping Barge
by separating them.

But you had no idea.

That doesn't make me
feel any better.

The fact I didn't know
makes me feel...

responsible.

I often wondered if
I did that too much,

if I'd forget how to cry.

Have you forgotten?

You have to pull yourself together,
Louise.

You can't give up on her, not yet.

Will I get you something?

Let me get you something.
A biscuit?

I'll get you a biscuit.

Thanks, Nan.

Sorry.
She's always doing that.

I hope you don't mind
I have her here.

It's fine.

Have you seen my sisters?

Well, Cathy's still with
that foster family.

But they won't let us visit her...

..and they won't tell us
where Mary is.

The Social Services have put her
up for adoption.

We tried everything to stop them,
your Nan and I.

But, no, we're too old.

My health's not good enough,
all that bollocks.

We had to stand there
as they said it.

All your mother had to do
was leave Daniel

and none of this would have
happened.

That's what the lady
from the Social Services wanted.

Oh, I'm sorry to have
to tell you this, Kevin.

I know it's upsetting.

Mary hasn't been adopted yet?

They won't change their mind.

They don't listen,
not to people like us.

Lizzie's been missing
for 24 hours now.

Talk to everyone on the estate.

Sergeant take the volunteers
and go back over the common,

then cover the surrounding area
and report back to me.

- OK.
- Come on, lads.

Yeah,
let's head over there now.

My God. My God.
You came home to me.

Come in!
Come in!

Is he here?

Come in, Kevin. Please.
It's so good to see you.

We talk about you every day.

I'm just really glad
to see you're safe.

Please, Kevin, come in.

This is your home too.

Look, I'm going
to go to the shop and get some fags.

Yeah?
Does anyone want anything?

Money's no object.

If I come up short,
I'll just nick it.

I'll leave you guys to it.

Daniel's got a job
driving a minicab, nights.

He's working for himself.

You see that blue
car out front?

He owns it.

Why didn't you come and see me?

I didn't think you wanted me to.
I would've.

Look,
you have to know I would've.

- Is Cathy all right?
- Yeah, she's fine.

I try to see her once a month.

She's with a foster family
but that's just temporary.

I want to see her.

Here's the address...

but you have to call 'em
to make an appointment.

Is this what Mary looks like now?

Yeah.
Sweet.

She's getting adopted.

Why are you letting them?

I tried to stop 'em.
You've got to believe me.

- I tried so hard.
- Why did you stay with him?

I know it's hard
for you to understand...

Look, they took us away
because of him.

No, no, that is not true.
That is not true.

Look, after I had Mary,
I wasn't right in my head,

depressed like.

That's why I went to hospital,
you remember?

Daniel tried his best.

And that woman
from the Social came.

She never liked Daniel,
didn't trust him.

She said, "No-one's going to
take your baby".

She lied to us.

She took her away.
She's the one to blame, not Daniel.

But if you split with him,
none of this would have happened.

That's not true.

Look,
I know it's hard to explain.

Cathy got sick and...
Look, we love you.

- I swear, we love you.
- You don't love us.

You only had to
do one thing and you wouldn't do it.

- Who told you that?
- Nan and Gramps.

No.
Look, don't listen to them.

You don't understand,
not everything.

I wanted a family.

I'm so thick.
How could I ever have that?

You don't know who my father is.
You're just a slut.

Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, please, Kevin.
Forgive me.

He stood by me.
I got pregnant with you.

I was no older than you are now.

And he was my best friend
and he stood by me.

He never turned his back on me.
He didn't ask me any questions.

I can't betray him by saying
he's something that he's not.

Look, I love you,
but please, please

don't make me do that.
I can't.

I've got principles.

Where are you going?
No, stay here.

I'm staying with Gramps and Nan.

No, no, no! Don't go there.
Stay here.

Stay here with me, Kevin.

They arrive at 6.50pm.

It places Lizzie Craddock
on the common with Barge,

but not specifically
in the playhouse.

No cameras cover
the playground itself

and there's no CCTV of her leaving.

Barge knew his way
round the common,

used to work for the council.
Maintenance in the Parks Department.

- Used to?
- He lost his job.

Inappropriate material
on his work computer.

Does the CCTV put Cheryl
and Johnny at the scene?

- Nope.
- There must be dozens of ways

in and out of the common
without using that gate.

The next person to arrive
is a council employee.

Never goes in.

Locks the gate, leaves.

Is there anything forensically that
places Cheryl and Johnny at the scene?

Nothing so far.

I've asked for their
mobile phone records.

I'm on it. Service
provider's sending them over.

- Yeah.
- DNA from the saliva

on Barge's genitals
is a match to Lizzie Craddock.

She was in the playground.

So, Barge abuses Lizzie.
She bites him.

He's incapacitated.
She runs.

- Who kills Barge?
- Parents. Vigilante.

- Another abuser.
- They fight over her?

Maybe he kills her
because she's a witness.

She resisted.
Perhaps he kills her

because he's afraid
she'll tell someone about the abuse.

Her body is more than likely
somewhere on the common.

- We target our search there.
- You don't know that she's dead.

You don't know!

The screwdriver didn't strike bone.

It would still have to overcome
the recoil of the skin.

Radiopaque contrast material.
You can see the path of the weapon.

- Direction of blow?
- Right to left.

- Right-handed?
- Why a screwdriver?

Well, Johnny worked as a builder.
He would have used a screwdriver.

Yeah.
And I changed a tap once.

- Did you?
- No!

No! I'm making a point.

Everybody has access
to a screwdriver.

Weapon of expedience.

Traces of sodium hypochlorite
on the body

and some clothing had
areas of chemical burns.

Destroying any evidence
they may have left behind.

What are we missing?

You're confident
Lizzie was at the playground?

And there was quite a lot of blood
at the scene?

Whoever stabbed Barge
will have his blood all over them.

When they leave the playground,

they'll leave an organic trail of
blood splatter, which we can follow.

Cath!

I can't believe you're here.

- Do they know?
- Doesn't matter, does it?

I'm so happy to see you!

Are you all right?

You're meant to make an appointment.
They're really strict.

- They can piss off.
- Cathy?

Are you all right?

I've got to go.
Come to my school?

Judge Gilmore,
Louise Marsh.

This is inappropriate, Miss Marsh.

Have you heard
about Lizzie Craddock?

I've no idea who or what
you're talking about...

An eight-year-old girl.

You refused our application
for an Interim Care Order.

Miss Marsh,
I'm warning you.

I begged you to help her.
She's now missing.

People are going to ask me
questions.

I don't need to remind you
the proceedings are confidential.

You risk prison
if you forget that.

I did my job. You let her down.

I make decisions based
on the evidence presented to me.

You're secret.
Anonymous.

They're going to
blame Social Services.

If the responsibility is
too much for you, Miss Marsh,

I suggest you find other employment.

Never approach me like this again.

I hope they find her.

I found traces of blood leading
to the rear gate of the playground

which leads on to the common.
Then it disappears.

We're running DNA to confirm
the blood belongs to Dale Barge.

The killer escaped the scene
onto the common?

That's the assumption.

Cheryl and Johnny Craddock
said they'd been drinking heavily

- the night before.
- Yeah,

it's why she didn't
check on her daughter.

Blood alcohol level decreases
at the rate of 18 milligrams

per decilitre per hour
after you stop drinking.

There should still be
alcohol in their blood.

There wasn't.
None.

Why say you were
irresponsible

because you were drunk
when you hadn't been drinking?

You needed an alibi
because you committed a crime.

You're on the common
and not in the pub.

Conroy.

OK.
We have a hit.

This belonged to Johnny
Craddock's grandfather.

Died two years ago.
No-one reported it to the council.

A school uniform.

Holman, I think.

Holman Hunt.

And the top of a bleach bottle.

- Sorry. I didn't mean to...
- No, it's OK. You didn't.

- Can I talk to you?
- Of course.

I've been worried about you.

You are entitled to ongoing support
and accommodation

until you're 21 years old.

Take advantage of
what we can offer you.

We can keep you safe.
I want to help you, Kevin.

Help me do that. What can I do?

I don't want my sister
being adopted.

You're putting Mary up for adoption.

Just let her come home
to me and Mum.

I'll get rid of Daniel
or I'll make him go away.

Or she can stay with Gramps and Nan.

It's just we're a family...
Mary, Cathy and me.

Just keep us together and let us be.

I'm trying to make
sure you're all safe

and have opportunities.

We could stay with Gramps and Nan,
all of us together.

Then I can get a job

and help pay for things.

She's going to forget about me.

Just stop Mary getting adopted.

I don't decide that.

- The court decides that.
- Yeah, but you tell 'em,

like
you told them to put me in care.

We try to do what's best
for you and your family.

You think putting me in care
was the best thing for me?

See,
nothing good happened there.

I was just...
there.

You were safe.

You think you were
protecting me from abuse.

No. That weren't it.
Cos...

what you did was abuse.
That's all it was.

- You're the abuser.
- No. You're angry, Kevin.

I think we need to get you
some counselling.

I want my sister with me.

She's my sister,
I'll look after her.

- That won't be possible, Kevin.
- Why not? I'm 16.

And all the laws say...
I can look after myself.

So why can't I look after her too?

Mary's going to be adopted,
Kevin.

She needs a safe
and stable home.

We've found some adopters who are
really excited to care for her.

Where is she?

- I can't tell you that.
- Who's got her?

I'm not allowed to tell you,
Kevin. I'm sorry.

You sell them, don't you? That's
what they say on the internet.

You like it when they're little
cos you can sell 'em.

No. We don't sell babies. Then why
won't you tell me where she is?

- Because I'm protecting her.
- From me?

You're protecting her from me?

There are traces of blood
on the fragment of the school crest,

putting Lizzie at the murder scene

or at least in proximity
of the victim.

We have physical evidence
in an allotment linked

to Johnny Craddock,
which someone tried to destroy.

Cheryl and Johnny lied
about the night

that Lizzie disappeared.
They don't have an alibi.

- Do we arrest them both?
- They're clearly complicit.

If you watch them,
the power

is out of balance
in the relationship.

Cheryl is compliant,
she's not complicit.

She needs him.

How strong would she be
if we took him away?

Kevin, love,

would you like some tea?
I've it made for you.

I went to see her...
and them.

Did you?

Mum's never going to leave him.

- Never.
- How hungry are you, love?

She told me about
when she got pregnant with me.

Kevin!
Here, I got this for you.

I thought might like to
put your little friend into it.

Thanks, Nan.

What did she say?

"He stood by her."

She says he's good.

Nothing's really changed then.

Eat it up, while it's hot.

Nan?

He caused us so much pain,
that's all.

Mum said that she
"won't betray him...

"by saying he's something
he's not".

What did they want her
to say he was?

Your mother's very fragile,
Kevin.

She's not always
mentally right.

I don't want you talking about this,
Delores.

You know it's not good for you.

Has she seen your sisters?

She doesn't know where Mary is,
but I saw Cathy.

Did you?
And what did she say?

She's good, yeah.
Couldn't talk really.

We're trying to meet up later.

Kevin,
when you've finished your tea,

- would you give me a hand in the shop?
- Course, Gramps.

OK, that's it. That's it.
Swing it round.

For you.

Kevin...

..I need to have a man-to-man
with you.

You should know this.

You see, when the Social first got
involved with your mother and...

him,

it was when your sister
Cathy fell pregnant.

But I thought she was ill.
Cathy never said...

Yeah.
She had it taken care of.

- Who did it to her?
- She wouldn't say.

And now she's like your mother,
she's not right.

She imagines all sorts of things.

Sometimes I think she doesn't know
what's real at all.

We should have taken her in,
your nan and I.

We told the Social we would.

But Daniel was against it.

And I think I know why.

He was afraid
she'd say something.

About what?

Well, that's what your mum meant,
wanting her to say,

"He's something he's not."

We think it was Daniel
got your sister pregnant.

Your nan does, the Social do,

but they won't say anything,
of course.

It's a secret.

Everything's a secret
with that crowd.

And they wanted us...

to condemn our daughter
for being an unfit mother

for what happened to Cathy...

well, we wouldn't do it.

You're a man now, Kevin.

I thought you should know.

Kevin?

Drive.

- Sorry, sir.
- Jack?

Didn't know you were coming.

Light candles,

say prayers that won't be answered
to a God that doesn't exist?

Wouldn't miss it.

I'll get you some candles.

Are we going to do this
publically or privately?

Is the idea to break her down?

Thanks.

- Louise?
- Nikki? You're here.

Yeah.

I don't really know why.

- I mean, I do, but...
- I know exactly.

We feel foolish.
We're rational people,

this is pointless.

Why are we here?

Here they come.

Are you praying?

Do you pray for friends?

- Do you pray for me?
- It does absolutely no good.

Good evening, everyone.

Thank you for coming
to show your support

and love for the Craddock family
this evening.

We rejoice in the hope
of the glory of God.

I can't do this.
I've to go.

Louise!

We should be searching for her,
not walking around with candles.

Tonight's for us. Not just for her.

We're reminding ourselves
not to let the light go out.

This shouldn't be happening.
There shouldn't be a vigil.

I was meant to protect her.

I have to go.

I would never hurt Cathy.
I'd never hurt you.

- You're my son, Kevin.
- Tell me the truth.

- Who told you this?
- Tell me the truth!

I have.
It's lies.

Who told you these lies?

It's your fault they split us up.

Please.
Please, Kevin!

Keep Lizzie free from harm

and bring her back safely
to her family and friends.

Dear Lord,
hear our prayer.

Hear our prayer.

Help give her parents strength
through this unbearable pain.

Johnny Craddock,
I'm arresting you

in connection with the
death of Dale Barge

and the disappearance
of Lisanne Craddock.

Johnny?
What do I do?

Be quiet, Cheryl.
Calm down.

What are they going to do to you?

Don't think about me.
Think about Lizzie.

Cheryl!
Stay calm.

You do not have to say anything.

But it may harm your defence if
you do not mention when questioned,

something
you may later rely on in court.

Give me a minute, yeah?

I want you to know that I would have
done the same thing, Johnny.

If I knew some bastard
had hurt my daughter...

..between you and me?

I would have killed him.

It would have made me crazy
that I hadn't protected her.

Do you know where
your little girl is, Johnny?

Did he bury her?

Did he tell you where her body is?

We found her burnt clothes, Johnny.

Do yourself a favour and help us
bring closure to this.

Tell us what you did.

What's wrong,
sweetie, eh?

Come here.
Oh, dear!

Calm down.
Don't cry.

You're OK.

He just won't stop crying.
I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry, I can't...
I can't leave the office.

I just want him to stop.
Why won't he stop?

My God.
God.

My poor sweetie.
Poor sweetie.

Robert, I'm taking him
to the hospital.

Please, please,
I need a doctor for my little boy.

You OK, little man?

So how did your son
get these bruises?

I don't know.

He didn't fall,
that you can remember?

You didn't drop him?

No!
Of course not!

You didn't get angry with him?

No!

He was crying.
I came to see what was wrong.

I saw the bruises.
I don't know how he got them.

I see.
You don't know.

Excuse me for a minute.

What happened to us?
What have we become?

What do you do one day
when you realise you can't succeed?

I'm hated when I take action
and damned for not acting.

I'm not interested in both
sides of the story.

I'm here to protect the child.

- Hi! Carol Mansfield?
- Yes.

Louise Marsh. I'm a social worker.

We need to talk about your son.

I have seen harrowing injuries
to children

that could have been prevented.

The mother brought
the child in by herself?

The father didn't arrive
until some time later.

- I want another doctor now.
- I'll ask you not to threaten me.

I have dealt with
parental deception.

- Are you a paedophile, Johnny?
- Shut your mouth!

Did you kill her, Johnny?

She didn't report it to the police
until the next day.

You're trying to trick me.

Please, Cheryl,
don't protect him.

- He was not evil.
- Mrs. Garvey, let go, please.

Kevin's already been here.

I have to protect the child.

Who do I believe?
