Dad?

~ Dad?
~ What?



Oh, you...

~ You all right?
~ Course I am. Why wouldn't I be?

I've been trying to
ring you all night.

Bah. I never hear the phone.

(SIGHS) That's because you've
got it switched off at the wall.

~ (PHONE BEEPS)
~ Must've been done by accident.

Could be these er... new pills.

Look, I need you to answer
when I call, Dad,

cos if you don't...

Well, I start to worry...

~ What pills?
~ Doctor gave them to me.

Well, what kind of pills?

Dad?

(PHONE RINGS)



Banks?

SPEAKERPHONE: "Boss, you're needed.

We've got a body up on the
moor. Looks like a stabbing."

~ How's your dad?
~ (SIGHS) I keep going round there.

Trying to keep an eye on
him, but he won't let me.

Well, maybe he's just proud.

Too old to be proud.

Well, if you're that
worried about him,

maybe you can get him
to move in with you?

Any news on you and David
setting up home together?

Actually, he's withdrawn his offer.

Oh, you're kidding! Why?

It seems he wants something
a bit more permanent.

He's asked me to marry him.

I haven't said yes.

I've told him I need a few
days to think about it.

~ OK.
~ I thought you should know.

~ Absolutely.
~ Boss?

Body's over here.

When you're ready.

He's been here a few hours.

Looks like a stab wound to the chest,

which could have hit his heart,

but we should wait for
Pathology to confirm that.

~ Do we have a name for him?
~ Josh Tate.

20 years old, lives in a
flatshare in the city centre.

~ Student?
~ Second year of uni.

There's something on his hand.

Yeah, looks like a nightclub stamp.

We're gonna check it out.

Question is, was he killed
here and rolled over,

or are we looking for
another murder site?

Probably the latter,

given that he's lost so much
blood from the stab wound.

We've had the dogs out. No blood,

but they did track a
scent back to the layby.

~ Probably where they parked up.
Are we looking at tyre prints?
~ Yeah.

RADIO: "Come in, Ken.

Got an address for the parents.
Sarah and Matthew Tate.

Cottage a couple of miles
outside of Harrogate."

Well, we'll divide into two teams.

One over to the parents' house.
We'll need them to ID the body.

Get Family Liaison to meet us there.

And the second one to
look at the flatshare.

~ Ken and I can do that.
~ No.

Helen, I want you with
me at the parents' house.

Ken, go with Annie.

Matthew Tate?

DCI Alan Banks.

This is DI Helen Morton,
Eastvale Police.

Is your wife here, Mr Tate?

Sarah?

~ It's the police, love.
~ What do you want?

Maybe we should speak
inside, Mrs Tate.

I don't want you in my home.

I think we should let him in, Sarah.

(SOBS SOFTLY)

When did you last see Josh?

It was a few weeks ago. He er...

He came home for the weekend.
It was Sarah's birthday.

And you haven't had any
contact since then?

~ A few texts, maybe.
~ But nothing more?

You know what they're
like at that age.

~ Don't touch that!
~ Sorry.

Sarah, for God's sake.

Do you know any of Josh's
friends from university?

~ He didn't really talk about them.
~ If you like, Mr and Mrs Tate,

we can arrange for one of our officers
to come and stay with you.

We don't want police here.

We will need one of you to
help to identify the body.

I'll do it.

No. We can both go, love.

I'd rather do it alone.

Flat's owned by a Spencer
Foster. He's a student, too.

What sort of student owns a flat?

A gift from his parents
for starting uni.

All I got was a toastie-maker.

(DISTANT MUSIC AND GIGGLING)

(Someone got lucky.)

(GIGGLING CONTINUES)

Hi. We're looking for Spencer Foster.

Spence?

Can we come in? I'm DS Cabbot.

Yeah. I mean, I saw
him yesterday morning.

He was heading out
as I was getting up.

~ Did he say where he was going?
~ Er... probably off to the lab.

~ The lab?
~ Josh was doing Biochemistry.

One of his tutors
had given him a job.

He was super-smart.

~ And you are?
~ Melanie Thomas.

Spencer's girlfriend.

~ How well did you know Josh?
~ Only through Spence.

I... come round a lot, so...

I guess he was a mate.

Is there anyone who Josh didn't get
along with? Anyone he argued with?

He really didn't inspire that
kind of passion in people.

He was quiet.

Half the time, you'd
forget he was there.

What about other friends? Girlfriends?

Er... Josh didn't really bother
much with girls, did he?

He wasn't gay or anything, just didn't
seem that interested in them.

~ And where were you last night?
~ Why are you asking that?

It's a routine question.

Well, we were here. All night.

Takes you back, doesn't it?

What, you went to university (?)

Funny (!) No, really, you are.

Fancy a cider and black later?

Josh was an exceptional student.

He was smart, focused, conscientious.

Was he working here yesterday?

Sort of. He was only
here an hour or so.

He had to leave around 11.

Did he say why he had to leave?

No.

What sort of things
did Josh do for you?

He helped out in the lab, mostly.

Setting up experiments.

Servicing the equipment.

Sorting out my IT.

Some inventory.

You must have got to know him.

Well, not really.

He was only here for
a few hours each week,

and he kept himself to himself.

Not much of a talker.

Did he mention any problems he was
having? Anything troubling him?

I was his tutor.

The only thing we ever talked
about was chemistry.

I had a look at her file.

~ She's got a file?
~ Mm.

Political activist in the early '90s.

She had a habit of getting herself
arrested at protest marches.

Well, that would explain
the hostility.

Any progress with you and Michael?

Yeah. I think we're
gonna work it out.

That's good news.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(SOBS)

So, do we have a timeline?

Early pathology puts the time of
death between midnight and 2:00am.

We need to account for
Josh Tate's whereabouts

from the moment he woke up yesterday
until 2:00 this morning.

His flatmate says he left for the
university lab around 10:00am.

The tutor says he left
the lab an hour later.

Annie, any thoughts on the flatmate?

Bit cocky, but he liked Josh.

Him and his girlfriend
spent the night in.

Helen, where are we
with Josh's phone?

Can't find it, but we're getting
his call records sent through.

~ What about his email account?
~ Tech boys are going through it now.

Tariq, have we traced this stamp yet?

Yeah. It's used by a place called
Exotica in the city centre.

That's a lapdancing club.

What's he doing at a lapdancing club?

Who knows?

He's a student. That
place isn't cheap.

20 quid cover charge.

That's what I hear, anyway.

(CAR DOORS SLAM)

(ALARM BEEPS)

You ever thought about
trying lapdancing?

I did a bit of burlesque, once.

(BUZZER)

(DOOR BUZZES OPEN)

Have you seen him here before?

Yeah, I know him. He's in here a lot.

~ How often?
~ Three times a week.

Sits in that corner over
there, drinking water.

Was he here last night?

Yeah, but only for a while.

~ Did you speak to him?
~ Not that I remember.

Did he speak to any of the girls?

He's only ever here for Melanie.

Melanie.

When I met you this morning, Melanie,

why didn't you mention that
Josh came here to see you?

I don't know. This isn't the sort
of job you wanna tell people about.

But Spencer knows that you work here?

He knows it's only temporary. I'm
going to university next year.

And does your boyfriend know that
Josh was here three times a week?

Did Josh have a thing
for you, Melanie?

I guess so, yeah.

~ Was Spencer aware of this?
~ No.

How did you feel about Josh?

I told him the truth. I love Spencer.

If you were at the flat with Spencer
last night, why was Josh here?

I don't know.

I told him I'd swapped shifts.
Maybe he just forgot.

(ENGINE STARTS)

That black saloon. Did you see it?

What about it?

I think it followed us here.

Really?

Majority of his injuries
occurred post-mortem.

No doubt due to the impact
of the fall at the ravine.

Cause of death, penetrating wound
to the chest that pierced his heart.

What about the weapon?

Narrow, square blade. Not sharp.

~ Screwdriver?
~ Possibly.

We found gravel particles
in his hair.

From the ravine?

No. It's limestone and
it's been bleached.

~ A man-made process.
~ I'll check it out.

So, toxicology.

Alcohol in his system, but no drugs.

And there were traces of chemicals
on his hair and skin.

He was a Biochemistry student.

I don't think these are
the kind of chemicals

he'd have found on his course.

This was piperonyl methyl ketone.

What does that mean?

PMK. It's used to synthesise Ecstasy.

Given the amount we found on him,

I'd say that's exactly
what he was doing.

So much for our shy,
unassuming student.

In addition to visiting
lapdancing clubs,

it seems that Josh might
have been making Ecstasy.

It's always the quiet ones.

Making Ecstasy's not
usually a solo job.

Tends to be small groups.
He must have had help.

Go back to his tutor, see if Josh
and friends had been using the labs.

See if any equipment and
chemicals had gone missing.

What have they said about
the bank account?

He had £2,000 in his current
account on the day he died.

That's a lot for a student, but
not what you'd call excessive.

Yeah, but three weeks ago,

he spent six grand on a
second-hand Land Rover.

His dad.

Josh offered to buy it for me.

He knew the old one was finished.

You told me your brother gave
you the money to buy it.

It didn't strike you as odd that
Josh could afford to pay for it?

(SIGHS) He said he had
a job at university.

Part time, a few hours a week, but
not enough to cover 6,000 quid.

6,000?!

Josh...wanted to help.

Where did he get the money?

~ From another source.
~ What other source?

We think he was manufacturing drugs.
Mostly likely Ecstasy pills.

~ Didn't take you very long, did it?
~ How'd you mean?

You can't find who killed my son.

So you start finding
ways to taint him.

~ Nobody's tainting Josh.
~ I've seen it before.

You make it look like
Josh had it coming,

and that way, nobody
cares that my son died.

I care, Mrs Tate.

And you? You're pathetic.

What kind of man lets
his son buy him a car?

Ecstasy?

Are you sure about this?

Would Josh have had the knowledge

to process something
as complex as that?

Well, it's not on the curriculum,

but yes, Josh could've worked it out.

Was he close to any other
students on his course?

Why do you ask that?

Josh may have needed help
if he was making Ecstasy.

~ He was usually alone.
~ Could he have used your lab?

No. I always monitored his lab time.

Plus, I don't imagine it's the sort
of process you could easily hide.

~ What about chemicals, equipment?
~ What about them?

~ Could he have sourced them here?
~ I keep a very strict inventory.

But you said Josh did the inventory.

Dr Calcutt, Josh had a lot
of money in his bank account.

~ He didn't need a job.
~ I don't understand what you mean.

Maybe the only reason he took the job

was to get access to
your chemicals store.

Josh was a friend, and he would
never have abused my trust.

(CAR DOOR SLAMS)

(ENGINE STARTS)

So?

Which part of that last speech
stood out for you, Sarge?

"Josh was a friend." Let's
get Forensics down here.

I want a team to go
over Calcutt's lab.

(ALARM BEEPS)

~ Helen.
~ Michael, what are you doing here?

~ You're not answering my calls.
~ Well, things have got a bit hectic.

We need to talk.

Yeah. OK.

Better come in.

You haven't appointed a solicitor.

Well, it's early days.

No, it's not early days. You've
been stalling for weeks now.

Maybe I haven't had as much time
to get used to it as you have.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
ambushed you with the papers.

No, you really shouldn't have.

Nevertheless, we do need
to start the process

and try and get on with our lives.

It's unsettling the boys.

Well, moving house'll
really unsettle them.

That's not gonna help, is it?

Helen... The boys want
to stay at home.

I spoke to my solicitor. She
thinks I should go for custody.

It makes sense, since you've moved
out and I'm the primary carer.

But I'm their mother.

Which is why you need to think
about what's best for them.

What's best for them is
that they stay with me.

I'm sorry.

I wish it wasn't happening
to us, but it is.

And we can't ignore it.

Please, get yourself a solicitor.

No I don't understand. I'm their mum.

Surely, the judge will agree that
I should have joint custody.

But I only moved out
because he asked me to.

Because that's what he wanted.

If I'd known he was planning this,
I'd have stayed where I was.

Sorry, I-I'm gonna
have to call you back.

~ That's not for me, mate.
~ Oh.

~ (CAR DOOR OPENS)
~ That's cos it's for me.

~ (SIGHS)
~ Thank you.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You know, you were a lot better
at this undercover lark

back on the Crime Squad.

~ It's good to see you, Helen.
~ What are you doing here?

~ I'm working an investigation.
~ So why are you following me?

Whatever it is you're working on,
it might cross over with my case.

~ Cross over how?
~ I can't tell you that.

Oh, come on, Martin. You're not MI5.

How can I make sure we don't
tread on each others' toes

if you won't tell me
what you're doing?

You're outside Exotica, so whatever
it is you're working on

must be linked to
there. So who is it?

What, the owner?

Is it Liam Fallon?

You're looking at him?

I can't tell you that.

What's the score with the hotel?

How do you mean?

You not with Michael any more?

I've gotta get going.

See you around.

His name's Martin Hexton, the
undercover officer we used

back when I was in the Crime Squad.

Since then, he's been with
the Met's SCD-11 unit.

~ So, what's he doing in Yorkshire?
~ He's not saying, but I think...

I think... (TYPING)

.. he's investigating Liam Fallon.

~ Melanie's boss?
~ He definitely seems to be interested in him.

Before buying the lapdancing club,

Fallon served a year for
posession of cocaine.

At the time of his arrest,

he had links to a number
of big London drug gangs.

So if Hexton is looking into him,
it could be that he's active again.

So you think Fallon
was working with Josh?

He had experience, connections. He
knew Josh from going to the club.

Which could explain why
Josh was at the club

when Melanie wasn't there.

If Hexton was investigating Fallon,
then why was Fallon not flagged?

I don't know. I called Hexton's
unit, left a message.

Still waiting on someone
to get back to me.

We should talk to Melanie.
If there's something going on

between Josh and Fallon, she
might have seen something.

She's due to come in to make
a statement, isn't she?

Postponed. Ill, apparently.

She's staying at her
boyfriend's parents'.

Well, then maybe I'll
make a house call.

Where are you going?
I can do this on my own.

~ You might need backup.
~ To interview a lapdancer?

I've met her. You haven't.

She'll respond better
to a familiar face.

Then I'll take Helen.

You're not taking bloody Helen.

Excuse me, sir.

~ I'm DCI Banks.
~ DS Cabbot.

We're looking for Melanie Thomas.

Gerald Foster. I'm Spencer's dad.

Melanie and Spence are through here.

Police need to talk to you.

~ How are you feeling, Melanie?
~ She's very poorly.

This is Elaine, my wife.
DCI Banks, DS Cabbot.

~ Mrs Foster.
~ Hello.

Look, I don't really think
Melanie's up for talking.

~ She should be in her bed.
~ No, it's OK.

~ I'm fine.
~ Really?

We need to speak to Melanie alone.

We'll give you some privacy.

Thank you.

Was Josh involved in drugs?

No.

I mean, he never said anything.

Did he ever talk to
you about Liam Fallon?

What do you mean?

Did you ever see him
talking to Fallon?

Sometimes, I suppose.

~ Do you know what they were talking about?
~ I dunno.

Melanie, did you ever see anything

like pills or money
exchange between them?

No.

But Josh did meet Fallon
in his office sometimes.

Did Josh say what those
meetings were about?

No.

OK. The gravel they
found in Josh's hair,

generic building product.

Sold in most DIY shops
up and down the country.

~ So not much help, then?
~ Not much, no.

What about Calcutt's lab?

Forensics found plenty of chemicals,
but none used in processing Ecstasy.

I've been going through
Josh Tate's bank records.

Found a debit card payment
the day he died.

What was the payment for?

It was for £6.40, made to
the campus cafe at 1:35.

~ OK, go and check it out.
~ I'll go.

~ (PHONE RINGS)
~ DI Morton?

SPEAKERPHONE: "Yeah, this
is DCI Denmoor, SCD-11.

~ Got a message saying to ring you."
~ Yes.

I was calling about a UCO who's
working a case here in Eastvale.

"We don't have anyone from
Undercover up there."

What about a DS Martin Hexton?

Helen! You wanna sit in on this?

No, there's something
I need to check on.

The place is mobbed with
students every day.

Every face is just a blur.

Just take a look at the photo.

~ This guy was in at 1:35.
~ Yeah, middle of the lunch rush.

12 hours later, he was dead.

Yeah. Hold on, I remember this lad.

He was in here with some other guy.

~ Can you describe him?
~ Didn't look like a student.

Just like your average,
middle-aged white guy.

Don't know what was going on.

Some sort of argument.

Anyway, this lad stormed out and
the older bloke went after him.

Did you see where they went?

Now what?

Do you fancy a rocky road?

~ How well did you know Josh Tate?
~ I didn't.

He was just some kid who spent too
much time mooning over Melanie.

~ Ever have any discussions with him?
~ What would I discuss with him?

How about manufacturing Ecstasy?

And why would that interest me?

Come on, Liam. You've got history.

OK, I admit it.

I have had some trouble with
drugs, a few years back.

But look at me now,
eh? I'm a changed man.

~ I'm a model citizen now.
~ You run a lapdancing club.

That's right, and I'm always
on the lookout for new dancers.

You spoke to Josh in your office.

~ Did I?
~ Several times, so we heard.

I don't remember him being in there.

See, I'm quite picky
with who I let in.

My office is like my sanctuary.

A place where I can think -

Josh last visited Exotica
two nights ago.

~ That's right.
~ What happened?

He wanted to know where Melanie was.

I said she wasn't
working, so he left.

~ What time?
~ About 9:00, 9:30.

And what did you do after that?

I ran my very profitable business.

I was in the club till about four.

The girls will back me up on that.

~ He's lying through his teeth.
~ We just need to prove it.

Boss. Josh Tate met
with an older male

at the campus cafe
on the day he died.

~ Any chance it was Fallon?
~ This bloke was white.

~ (SIGHS)
~ Anyway, he followed Josh out the cafe,

so we pulled all the CCTV from
within a half-mile radius of it.

~ So we're off to watch some telly.
~ Enjoy.

Older man, meeting in a cafe.

Could be part of Josh's operation.

If Fallon was dealing Josh's Ecstasy,

then Josh dying's a big problem.

~ What's Fallon gonna do now?
~ Find a new source.

~ Contact whoever Josh worked with.
~ So we put him under surveillance.

There's not time to organise a team.

But there's no reason
why we can't do it.

I'll sort it.

(APPROACHING CAR)

(DOOR SLAMS)

Apparently, you're no longer police.

Managed to find me, then?

~ What's going on, Martin?
~ Even booked our old room.

It's not our old room,
it's your room.

Fancy a drink?

I'm on duty.

Fancy watching me drink, then?

(SIGHS)

What are you doing here, Martin?

I've got good memories of this room.

(POURS DRINK)

I told you. I'm working a case.

Really? Well, according to your boss,

you were retired on medical grounds
about three months ago.

~ Not a problem.
~ It's not a problem?

Are you kidding? This
is our murder victim.

And this is our main suspect.

What do you mean, it's not a problem?

What is going on?

You failed your psych
evaluation, didn't you?

Because there was no evaluation.

And I haven't been
retired, all right?

I was seconded to Bradford.

I'm working with DCI Rachel Prentice.

~ But Prentice is Anti-Corruption.
~ That's why I can't talk about it.

OK...

So you're investigating
police officers, fine.

But how does that connect to Fallon?

I... can't tell you anything.

Martin...

Is it one of our team?

Look, this... this
burnt-out cop story,

~ it's a cover.
~ What do you mean?

Nobody from my old unit even
knows I'm working here.

OK.

I think maybe I will have that drink.

This is my life now.

Turn up places, do my job.

Can't tell a soul about it.

'Least this time, I get to see you.

I'd forgotten how much
you meant to me.

Our time together.

It was a mistake.

Well, not to me, it wasn't.

Well, you weren't married,
were you? I was.

You still married?

Michael wants a divorce.

It's my fault. I spend
so much time at work and -

You're still doing that?
Blaming yourself?

Just like us.

You took all the guilt.

It was always your fault.

So, what are you gonna do?

Fight for my marriage.

Why?

(MUMBLES)

(SIGHS)

Sorry, I can't. I...

(PUTS GLASS DOWN) (DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SLAMS)

(EXHALES)

(PHONE KEYS CLICK)

~ (SIGHS)
~ Everything all right?

Yeah. I'm just telling
David I'm gonna be late.

It means he's got to
pick up Isla... again.

(SIGHS) He'll have
to get used to that,

now he wants to make it permanent.

You must've seen this coming, Alan.

You can be angry, fine.
Disappointed, all right.

But you can't be surprised.

Look, David's asked me to marry
him. He wants us to be a family.

Right now, I need
to think about Isla,

so don't make this
any harder than it is.

How am I making it harder?

By being your usual
passive-aggressive self.

If you've got something
to say... just say it.

(SIGHS) (DOOR OPENS)

Fallon's on the move.

(ALARM BEEPS)

(CAR DOOR SLAMS) (ENGINE STARTS)

What's he doing?

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS RAPIDLY)

Hang on.

That's Calcutt. Josh's tutor.

(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)

(MUFFLED ARGUING)

~ What we gonna do now?
~ We stick with Fallon.

~ (PHONE RINGS)
~ What about Calcutt?
~ We can deal with her later.

Annie! (CAR DOOR SLAMS)

(SIGHS) We don't have the authority.

(PHONE CONTINUES TO RING)

(PHONE BEEPS)

Shit.

(TYRES SQUEAL)

(HORN BLARES)

(FRONT DOOR SHUTS)

(RUSTLING)

(SCREAMS) What the hell
do you think you're doing?

~ Why are you breaking into my garage?
~ Why were you meeting Liam Fallon?

Josh was supplying Fallon with drugs.

Were you helping... Dr Calcutt?

Now, you listen to me.

You can't just break
in to peoples' property.

I know it's against the law.

Do you hear me?

I want you to leave me
and my mother alone.

Now, go!

I will. Just wanna
find out what this is.

~ (FOOTBALL ON TV)
~ Dad?

~ (TURNS TV OFF)
~ Dad?

Dad...

What are you doing here?

I had three missed calls from you.

Oh, right. Of course.

Er... Sunday. I'm going on
a day trip to Bridlington

and I wondered if you wanted to come.

Your mother always liked Braid
and I just thought, well...

might be... a bit of fun.

But... that was it?
That's why you called?

Yes, why? There a problem?

Is this how it's gonna be, then?

How what's gonna be?

This! Us.

Me having to run round every day
just to make sure you're all right.

I don't need looking after.

I've just seen the next ten
years mapped out for me.

Work and you.

I think you'd better leave.

Sorry.

Dad, I didn't mean any -

~ I'm nobody's burden.
~ No.

Do... do you understand that?

Yes.

(SIGHS) Sorry.

~ Close the door.
~ Yes.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Banks, sir.

~ Did you find any equipment?
~ Not exactly.

Calcutt had had a clear-out,
no doubt in the last few days.

But the good news is,

forensics say there's
enough material in there

to confirm that it was being
used to make the drugs.

Calcutt's mum.

She's got dementia. I had
to call Social Services.

~ There's no other family?
~ Her daughter's all she's got.

~ I really need to speak to Mum.
~ Your mum's being taken care of.

She's not good around strangers.

Beverley, you can talk to your mum
after you've spoken with us, OK?

Isosafrole, MDMA.

Can you explain why these
chemicals were in your garage?

I don't know anything about that.

Beverley...

we know that Josh was involved
in making Ecstasy.

Which may well be the
reason he was killed.

You need to tell us the truth.

~ I needed the money.
~ What for?

Mum needs constant care.

I couldn't be there for
her and be at work.

The only solution was
a nurse, and they cost.

The man you were meeting at
the car park, Liam Fallon.

Was he buying the pills?

It was only supposed to be a one-off.

We made the first batch
in the lab at work,

and I made sure they were safe.

And then Josh sold them on to Fallon.

But it wasn't just the one-off?

Fallon wanted more.

He threatened to turn
us in if we said no.

We couldn't use work any more,

so we set up in my garage
and worked from there.

Where's the equipment now?

Josh told me to dismantle it.

He said he was going to
tell Fallon it was over.

When was he telling Fallon?

The day he died.

Did Fallon kill Josh?

Well, what do you think?

The man's a gangster, isn't he?

Just business for him.

I told him today. I told
him, "I know what you did."

And he just laughed.

(SOBS)

~ What do you want to do?
~ Let's bring Fallon in again.

Boss? I need to talk to you.

It'll have to wait.

(Go, go.)

~ (CRASH)
~ Police!

(OFFICERS SHOUTING)

Boss!

Christ. Is he all right?

~ He's breathing.
~ Annie, get him an ambulance.

DS Cabbot. Ambulance required.

Serious head injuries.
Victim is Liam Fallon.

(DISTANT SIRENS)

There's something you need to know.

~ Boss! We think we might have him.
~ Josh's mystery man.

We went through all the
CCTV. We picked up Josh

on a traffic camera a half
mile away from the cafe.

~ This guy was following him.
~ Any idea who it is?

~ That's Martin Hexton.
~ What?

(GRIM) Good work.

Helen? A word.

I'm... I can explain.

All right. Thanks, Rachel. Bye.

What did she say?

Well, Bradford have
never heard of Hexton.

What? But he told me he'd
been working with them!

What else has he been telling you?

Nothing. DCI Denmoor told me that
he'd been medically retired,

and Hexton said that that
was just his cover story.

It sounds like the only person
getting a cover story was you!

~ If he's retired, why's he following Fallon?
~ Don't know.

~ Is he responsible for this?
~ Look, I don't know.

Why is he arguing with our
victim on the day he died?

~ I don't know!
~ Well, what do you know, DI Morton?

I know where he is.

~ Reckon she's getting a bollocking?
~ Definitely. Boss had his face on.

~ What face?
~ The one that he does when's angry.

You know, when it all goes still
and all you can see is his eyes.

~ I know that face.
~ Let's move.

Tariq, you're with me.

(TYRES SQUEAL)

(SIRENS)

He's cleared out. He was here.
He was here a couple of hours ago.

What? I-I told you I talked to him.

So, what do we do now?

~ I want you to go home.
~ What? Why?

I won't allow you to compromise
this case further.

~ Compromise it? How?
~ You're involved with Hexton,
he's now a suspect -

No, I am not. I am not
involved with Hexton.

Please, Helen.

(SIGHS) It was a drink.
It was just...

It was just a drink!

(Oh, Christ.)

Oh, it's too cold to be out there.
