DCI Banks (2010–2016): Season 5, Episode 6 - Undertow: Part 2 - full transcript
Whilst Helen interviews an uncooperative Colvin following the discovery of Franklin's blood in his car Banks makes his own inquiries with Franklin's sister, making a connection between her husband and Richards regarding Franklin's fate. Colvin finally confesses to two crimes but insists that Richards was not involved. However two surprising admissions finally allow Banks to seek justice for Annie and to close the case.
Steven Richards killed Annie.
He's too smart to
go after police.
If you'd have done your job,
Kat'd still be alive.
- Her death is on you. Kat'd still be alive.
- This is our connection -
the Crosslands Clinic.
That's where he and Colvin met.
A Citroen van of Colvin's.
I know Richards was behind this,
I just need you to confirm it.
When she needed you most,
you weren't there.
You almost killed him!
DI Morton will take over the case.
What?

Thank you.
Alan?
The state of you.
Whilst I can't
comment on any specifics,
I can confirm that
a suspect has been arrested
in connection with
the murder of DS Cabbot.
Is it true the suspect
suffered an injury
- during his arrest?
- I can't comment on that.
A high-speed pursuit
conducted by DCI Banks?
- This is a significant breakthrough.
- Has DCI Banks been suspended?
DCI Banks has taken personal leave.
But he was responsible for the
injury sustained by your suspect?
Thank you. That's all for now.
Do you think his replacement
has the necessary experience
to lead such
an important investigation?
He's not even here
and he's still causing me grief.
Where are we on Colvin?
Hospital cleared him.
We'll conduct
the formal interview today.
House search? Nothing we can use.
What about the murder weapon?
Still looking.
So apart from
placing him at the scene,
along with 100 others,
you've got nothing?
We found blood in his car.
Not a lot, inside the boot.
We'll get the results in an hour.
It could be Colvin's blood.
Or it could be Annie's.
Christ, I hope it is.
DCI Banks has taken
some personal leave.
Yes, but he was responsible for the
injury sustained by your suspect?
Thank you.
That's all for now.
Do you think
his replacement has the...
Your boss doesn't look too happy.
The bloke you arrested,
is he the one who...
Yes and no.
What's that supposed to mean?
Someone ordered him to do it.
I thought it was a mugging.
It was made to look like one.
So, who ordered him, then?
His name's Steven Richards.
How come you haven't arrested him?
We don't have proof. Then find some.
Well, what do you think I've been
trying to do for the last three days?
And now I'm "on leave",
which means I'm not allowed
anywhere near the case.
Oh, that's bollocks, that is.
Look, we're talking
about Annie here.
I did what I could, Dad. Right.
Well, that's what counts.
Anyone remember Charlie Franklin?
He used to work for Steven Richards.
Yeah, I remember him.
Well, according to the lab,
it's his blood in
Stuart Colvin's car.
Well, according to the lab, it's
How the hell did that happen?
Charlie Franklin's been
missing for over a week now.
His sister Liz Telford filed
a miss-per report
yesterday morning.
Liz thinks something's
happened to her baby brother.
Like what? Like he's dead.
Although... (SIGHS) ..it could
just be he's upped sticks.
Franklin's got a history
of moving about.
The blood in Colvin's car
was supposed to be a match to Annie.
It was supposed to give us evidence
to link Colvin to her murder.
And now all we've got
is one blurry CCTV photo
and circumstantial evidence.
Colvin's arrived.
This is a CCTV image
of a man on Barstock Road
the night DS Cabbot was murdered.
It's near to where her body was
found and the time-code shows
he was there
around the time she died.
- Could that be you, Stuart?
- That could be anyone.
Were you on Barstock Road
three nights ago?
- I don't remember.
- Well, the ANPR system
clocked your car in the
city centre at 8:24pm,
less than an hour before
DS Cabbot died.
And the ANPR also
picked up your car
later in Chapeltown at 10:48pm,
at this location, not 100 metres
from where we recovered the bag
that was stolen from DS Cabbot.
- What were you doing in Chapeltown?
- Driving.
- Did you stop in Chapeltown?
- Would you?
You made a call
at 9:12 that night
to a pay-as-you-go number.
I don't remember
making any calls.
- Was it to Steven Richards?
- I don't know who that is.
You and Steven Richards were
at the Crosslands Clinic
in February 2006.
My time at the rehab clinic
is a bit of a blur, I'm afraid.
- What about Charlie Franklin?
- Who?
We found his blood in your car.
Can you tell us how it got there?
You know,
I bought that car,
it must be...
six months ago.
It could be the previous owner
knows something about it.
The auction place will
have all the paperwork,
give 'em a call.
And tell them I'll be down
to buy myself a new one soon.
What with your boss
driving me off the road and all,
must be a bit of compensation
coming my way, what?
You picked a nice spot for her.
- We need to talk.
- Nothing to talk about.
How about Stuart Colvin?
Was he hired to kill Annie?
Hired by your husband?
I don't know what you're on about.
- Help me here.
-Let go of me.
It must be hard,
living in constant denial,
pretending he's not the monster
everyone says he is.
Or do the money and clothes help?
You know nothing about my life.
I know your husband kills people.
Annie had a daughter, Tamsin!
Er...hi, we're
looking for Liz Telford.
She's my wife.
Yeah, I'm DI Morton,
this is DC Blackstone.
We're here to talk to her
about her brother.
We're here to talk to her
I knew it. I knew something was up.
Well, we don't know
anything for certain, Liz.
Right now, Charlie's still missing
and we hope to find him.
When was the last time you saw him?
He dropped by Thursday morning.
How was he? Well, his mood, I mean?
The same as he always was, happy.
He had no problems or worries?
I told you, he was happy.
Was he planning on taking any trips?
Think I'd report him missing if
he was going off on his holidays?
Anyway, he wouldn't leave. Not now.
Why not now?
Liz is ill, cancer.
Because of the chemo,
she needs a bone-marrow transplant.
Charlie was a match.
He was due to donate
his marrow two days ago.
Liz was waiting at the hospital
for Charlie to show, but...
He wouldn't let me down.
Charlie had been working recently?
For some businessman.
- Steven Richards.
- Do you know Steven Richards?
Charlie never talked about him.
No, doesn't ring a bell. Why?
What's this Richards got to do
with my brother disappearing?
We're just trying to
get a full picture.
Well, try this for a picture, love.
Charlie's my last chance.
Either you find him soon
or I'm done for.
The sister seems genuine.
Yeah, but not the brother-in-law.
Richards is throwing up flats
all over the city.
Yet the bloke who owns
a skip-hire business
says he's never heard of him.
Let's check him out.
And I want Franklin's flat searched.
- Banks.
- It's Richards.
We need to talk.
I'd rather we did it face-to-face.
I thought it best
to do it in public.
Last time you
and I were together,
you tried to put me
through a wall.
Shame I was stopped.
Turning up at the grave today,
it was a cheap move.
- I expected more from you.
- Delighted to disappoint you.
My old man used to trade here.
Sold flowers over
there in the corner.
He was a proper character.
Everybody loved him.
A terrible businessman.
I used to think he was failure.
No ambition.
Now I realise that he was just an
ordinary bloke looking out for his own.
Do let me know
when you have a point.
You need to stay away from Tamsin.
And what happens if I don't?
You really don't wanna know.
I remember your dad...
and he wasn't "loved".
He was a drunk and a thief
and a lowlife scumbag,
just like his lowlife scumbag son.
And you can threaten me
as much as you want,
but I am not going away.
So, what we got?
Clothes in the wardrobe,
food in the fridge,
and a brand-new pair of trainers
delivered this morning.
Nothing to suggest
Franklin was taking a trip.
Nothing to suggest
If he left, he left in a hurry.
Which would be understandable,
considering the amount
of debt he's in.
Franklin's fond of a casino or two.
Credit cards are all maxed out.
VINCE: That's just the half of it.
Charlie Franklin owes money
to just about every
loan shark in the city.
I know a croupier
at the Brunswick Casino,
says Charlie's a regular
but no-one's seen him for days.
What about his call records?
His mobile provider
confirms
his phone was active
up until Thursday evening
- and then everything stopped.
- Well, that tallies with the sister.
Can we get a time and a location
on the last call Franklin made?
Funeral notice for Kat Richards.
The same day Franklin went missing.
So, if Franklin went to the service,
it might have been the last time
he was seen before he disappear.
You think something happened there?
It's worth considering.
Vince, let's find out
who Franklin owes money to.
Boss?
Breakfast roll,
extra sauce and a tea.
Thanks. How are you bearing up?
What happened with Colvin?
Interview drew a blank.
Fair chance he'll get released.
You can't release him.
We don't have anything on him,
or at least nothing concrete.
Forensics didn't find anything?
They found something...
but it kinda led us
down a different path.
What path?
Here, here. Let me help you.
My name's Alan Banks. You spoke
to my colleagues this morning.
This about Charlie?
This is about Jack.
I had more on my mind than
who was or wasn't at the funeral,
I was burying my daughter.
So you don't remember
seeing Franklin?
I don't remember much of anything.
He may have been there,
the church was packed.
Steve has a lot of friends.
When did you last see Franklin?
The day after Kat died, maybe.
I spoke to him.
Told him he was sacked and that we
didn't want him around any more.
Charlie Franklin let us down.
Right,
so how come you're the one
asking all the questions now?
Because I'm leading
this investigation.
Oh, yeah, does er...Banks know that?
DCI Banks is aware, yeah.
Because this is the er...
second time
Tamsin's been questioned today.
So you spoke to DCI Banks?
You lot are a bloody shambles.
My husband isn't a liar.
Anyone working in
the building trade
around here knows Richards.
And Jack would've been well-aware
that Charlie was working for him.
This man, Richards,
he's violent and he's ruthless.
This man, Richards,
He just lost his daughter recently
and he blames two people
for her death -
me and your brother.
- Charlie can handle himself.
- No.
Richards is way out
of Charlie's league.
Richards already had
one of my officers killed.
You think Charlie's dead.
And you think Jack knows he's dead.
I'm not listening to this.
Liz.
Let me give you a lift.
- I can manage!
- Please.
I've got a location
on the last call
Franklin received on Thursday.
It pinged off a tower in Gipton.
So what was Franklin
doing in Gipton?
I'm thinking he was here,
a development site
owned by Steven Richards.
They just broke
ground on a bunch
of executive flats last week.
Got to admit...
..a construction site's
a good place to hide a body.
We don't know Franklin's dead.
Not looking good, though, is it?
Let's go and take a look.
It's a big area.
OK, let's do it.
We'll need the works,
a full search team,
a dog unit,
and a ground-penetrating radar.
I hope to God
we find something.
This officer, the one who died.
Her name was Annie. Were you close?
15 years me and Jack
have been together.
I thought I knew everything
there was to know about him.
Thursday night,
about three in the morning...
..Jack got a call.
He said it was the police.
He said the yard
had been broken into
and he had to go down there
to check things out.
It happens a lot.
Kids messing about.
He didn't get back
till 7:00 in the morning.
He said he had to wait
for a locksmith,
but I could tell something was up.
Later on,
I found him in the bathroom...
..crying his eyes out.
15 years...
..I've never seen Jack cry.
Not a single tear.
Even when his mum died, nothing.
So, I'm asking myself,
what possibly
could have happened
that night to scare him so much?
Yeah, it's me.
He's just going in now.
What do you want us to do?
What's the overtime on this?
I'm trying
not to think about it.
Anderson's here.
You sure you've got
enough resources here, DI Morton?
Well, it's a very big area, sir.
- Have you found anything?
- Not yet.
At least you've given that lot
something to point their cameras at.
- We'll do another sweep...
- No,
- you'll shut it down.
- What?
Shut it down now, DI Morton.
All units, stand down!
So, how goes the big dig?
Come on, we've all
blown the overtime budget
- on a wild goose chase.
No, don't do that.
Don't pretend you're
not happy about this.
- About what?
- Me falling flat on my face.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.
You don't think
I'm up to leading an investigation.
I think there are areas
you could improve upon.
- Like what?
- You can be a little too rigid.
When am I rigid?
You get caught up in detail.
Yes, because this job is 90% detail.
And the other 10% is instinct,
going with your gut.
I'm fed up with you lot
and your guts.
You're all so proud
of your hunches and your feelings.
It's like a bloody therapy session
half the time.
Well, guess what?
Expressing your feelings
at work isn't healthy.
It's unprofessional.
And you wanna know
how I feel about Annie?
I'm furious with her.
She met the wife of
a violent criminal on her own,
without any back-up.
She didn't even tell you.
She just waltzed on over there,
the stupid blood...
You place such a premium
on going with your gut.
Well, Annie went with her gut
and it got her killed.
I went with my gut
on Richards's building site.
Sometimes your gut is wrong.
Great.
Now you tell me.
You were right about Annie...
..she was reckless
and she was stubborn
and I suppose I encouraged it in her.
It's not your fault.
No? You wanna know
what I did last night?
I broke into Telford's yard
and I came that close to
having my skull cracked open
by Richards's thugs.
Did you find anything?
A newly-laid
concrete floor, and this...
It's a casino chip.
It's Charlie Franklin's casino chip.
What's the drill for, Mr Telford?
Search officers have found
invoices and contracts
relating to Richards's
building projects
in Telford's site office.
So, Telford knows Richards.
Results are in on the casino chip.
They've confirmed the
most recent prints
- belong to Charlie Franklin.
- Yes.
But even if it was
his casino chip,
it doesn't prove
he was near Telford's yard.
Franklin was there.
And I'm betting his body's
under that shed floor.
We'll soon find out, the search team
are about to dig up the concrete.
What about the call Telford took
on the night that Franklin
went missing?
Pay-as-you-go.
But it's the same number
Colvin called
the night Annie died.
This is it, this is our connection.
You get Telford to confirm that
that number belongs to Richards
and we can link him
to Annie's murder.
The call came in
at three in the morning.
You told Liz it was the police,
a break-in at the yard.
But we've no record
of officers attending
the yard on that night,
so someone else must've called you.
Who called you?
Do you recognise this, Jack?
It's a casino chip,
it's worth ?10.
We found it in your yard.
Now, we know your brother-in-law
Charlie often frequents casinos.
Sir.
We also found
his fingerprint on this chip.
It belongs to him.
How did get into your shed?
He must have dropped it.
He comes down the yard sometimes.
Was he there on Thursday night?
No.
You're sure about that?
We've got officers
searching your shed.
They're digging up the floor.
Now, what do you think
they're gonna find
under all that fresh concrete?
He said it was my fault.
He said because it were me
who had vouched for him,
I had to take care of it.
All I did was put in
a good word for Charlie.
He needed a job...I got him one.
Who said this, Jack?
He phones me...
..tells me to get down the yard.
I get down there and there's this...
there's this bloke. He's...
..proper scary and he's got Charlie
in the boot of his car...
..like a piece of luggage.
I could see he were dead.
Was this him?
He said we had to get rid
of Charlie's body.
He said we had to bury it.
So I broke up the floor in the shed.
It took me two hours
to drill it out.
We put Charlie in the hole.
I mixed up a new batch
of concrete and...
poured it over the top of him.
The phone call, the one
that told you to go to the shed.
Who was it?
I need you to say the name.
Steven Richards.
Bring him in.
Sir.
What about Colvin?
We're just about to release him.
Ken's sorting it.
- Come to wave me off, have you?
- Yeah, about that.
I'm afraid there's been
some developments.
You won't get him.
Steven always gets to walk away.
Well, maybe not this time.
Maybe if you were to help us,
we could stop him.
We'd protect you, Tamsin.
Like you protected Annie?
There's plenty of time to challenge
him later, don't get into a scrap.
Go at him with Franklin first...
Boss!
She knows what she's doing.
The time is 16:43.
Detective Inspector Helen Morton.
With me is Detective Constable
Ken Blackstone.
Do you know Jack Telford?
...I know he runs a skip business.
When did you last speak to him?
Really no idea.
- Did you speak to him recently?
- No.
- So you didn't call him last week?
- No.
- Are you sure about that?
- He answered the question.
Move on.
OK.
Well, Mr Telford stated
that you called him on his mobile
at 3am last Friday morning.
And that you told Mr Telford
to meet Stuart Colvin
at his skip-hire business
on Gartmore Road.
- No, that's not true.
- Mr Telford also
says that you instructed
him and Colvin
to bury Charlie Franklin
on his premises.
How do you respond to that?
The man's lying.
So you didn't force Mr Telford
to meet with Stuart Colvin?
No, I don't know
who this Colvin bloke is.
Why would Mr Telford lie?
My client is not a psychologist,
DI Morton, you can't...
Hang on a second.
Jack Telford, his...his wife,
she's er... she's ill, bless her.
She's got some sort
of erm... is it cancer?
Cancer's a stressful business,
and sometimes
the partner feels it the most.
Maybe Telford's not coping.
Maybe he has this
run-in with Franklin,
kills him,
buries his body in the yard.
And then you lot come along
and he gets scared
and concocts this story
about me and this Colvin
as a way of deflecting
his own guilt.
But you don't know Colvin,
you've never met him.
It seems odd that Mr Telford
would concoct a link
between two strangers.
We've a record of the call
that Mr Telford
received that night
and it was from this mobile number.
Do you recognise the number?
No.
It's the same number
that Stuart Colvin called
the night DS Cabbot
was murdered.
We would like to
request a short break.
- For what reason?
- I need to confer with my client.
I have further questions.
Which you can ask when we resume.
Nadir's messing us about.
Well, that's only
because he's worried.
- You did a really great job in there.
- Yeah.
It'd be a lot better if we could
link Richards to the pay-as-you-go.
What about the search of his house?
- Vince is liaising with them.
- Well, see if they've got anything.
What was that about?
Well, just because she's a lawyer
doesn't mean she's off-limits.
Hey. David?
They asked me to come in
and er...collect Annie's stuff.
- I could have brought that...
- I wanted to get out.
How's Isla?
She's like her mum, strong.
And you?
You're gonna get the bastard, right?
I promise you we will.
Right.
I should...
Banks.
Colvin's making a statement.
She was distracted.
I went for her bag.
She put up a fight and...
..I killed DS Cabbot...
..and I was acting alone
when I did it.
The knife I used, I dropped
down a drain on Kirkgate Road.
It's probably still there now.
And the call you made that night?
It must have been a mistake.
What about Charlie Franklin?
Charlie owed me money.
We had an argument, it got violent.
I needed to get rid of the body
so I went to
his brother-in-law's yard.
And his brother-in-law
says Steven Richards called
and ordered him to help you
bury Franklin's body.
He's lying.
As with the copper,
I was acting alone
when I killed Franklin.
Why are you doing this?
I'm racked with guilt.
- He's taking the fall.
- He's taking the piss.
- Release Richards now.
- Sir!
- You have the confession.
- Colvin's a hired gun,
he's just doing
what he was told.
Richards is the one responsible
for their deaths.
Then find a way to prove it.
A 49-year-old man will
appear in court today
charged with the murder
of DS Annie Cabbot.
The man from the Leeds area
will also be charged with
the murder of Charles Franklin.
- He called you as well?
- What's it about?
- You look like the living dead.
- I need you both to sit down.
- Do you want anything?
- Helen, please.
What's going on, Ken?
I spent the night in the office
going through some
of our recent cases.
Why? Looking for something.
Something I hoped I wouldn't find.
Get to the point, Ken.
It's funny how Richards
always seems to be
one step ahead of us.
Not by much, but just enough.
Boss.
What is this,
the welcoming party?
We need to have a word.
Richards's building site at Gipton.
What about it?
Why did you lie about
Franklin's phone registering there?
I checked.
The last call pinged off a tower
on the other side of Leeds.
You led us to that site at Gipton.
- I...I must've made a mistake.
- Right.
Colvin's confession
wasn't a mistake though, was it?
That was timed to perfection,
just when we were
about to crack Richards.
I saw you talking
to Colvin's solicitor last night.
And she's not the only one you've
been talking to recently, is she?
An unknown number
keeps coming up on your records.
Multiple calls
at all times of the day.
You wanna tell us
who's been calling you?
I get lots of calls.
Let's ring it then, shall we?
All right, all right.
Why?
Does it matter?
It matters.
After Mum died,
Dad got back into boxing.
That's where he met Richards.
They became good mates.
My dad was still drinking back then
and one night he hurt this guy,
put him in hospital.
And the guy was all set
to go to the police
And the guy was all set
until Richards stepped in.
Of course, I didn't... I didn't
know any of this at the time.
Richards told me
once I joined the force.
He made it clear,
if I didn't cooperate...
..my dad was going to prison.
So you just fell into line?
I was looking out for my dad.
And what about Annie?
She was your colleague.
Boss, I'm sorry.
Ken.
I'm sorry.
Tomorrow morning, we come
back to work and we start again.
And we keep doing that
until we get Richards.
And then what?
Even if we get him,
he'll always have an edge.
A slick lawyer, a corrupt cop.
Some lowlife willing to stand up
and take the fall for him.
Look at us.
We've sacrificed our marriages,
our families, our lives.
We have no life, you and me.
- We're sad people.
- Speak for yourself.
I used to think
the sacrifice was worth it.
Richards killed our friend
and walked away from it.
And the fact that he can do that
makes everything
we stand for worthless.
Your search team made
a mess of things. (SIGHS)
Where's Tamsin?
She's gone.
I'm sensing some tension, Alan.
Why did you kill Annie?
I have to know.
What does it matter?
She's dead and so's Kat.
Don't bring Kat into this, what
happened to her was different.
You had Annie killed.
The least you can do
is let me know why.
Because I could.
Now I wanna know!
Why?
Because he was protecting me.
Tamsin, you need to go.
You need to leave now.
No, Steven.
No more.
We told Franklin
not to come to the funeral.
Steven warned him...
but he came round
to the house instead.
He waited until I was alone.
He wanted it to be just me and him.
He thought I'd go soft on him.
He asked me to get Steven
to forgive him.
And what he didn't realise
is that it wasn't Steven
who wanted revenge.
You killed Franklin.
Right here in this kitchen.
Steven took care of it
when he came home.
He took care of me.
I loved him for that.
You don't have to be
strong to kill someone.
Where you need strength
is afterwards...
to block out the guilt.
And that's where I fell down.
It just ate me up.
And so I turned to Annie.
I didn't know Colvin
was following me,
but he was outside.
He must have read the signs
and called Steven.
And Steven isn't one
for taking chances.
I got her killed.
She died because
I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
Helen, come on,
it's time we got the drinks in.
- Sounds like a plan.
- DI Morton?
- I'll see you down there.
- Sir.
Here.
- It's a DCI post.
- An opening's come up in Vice.
They need you to start right away.
You'll need to let Banks know.
- No, I don't think I will.
- He'll need to be informed.
No, I mean,
I won't be taking up the post.
The team's been through a lot
and we don't need
any more changes right now.
Thank you.
So, it seems you told David
So, it seems you told David
you wanted to leave
your body to medical science.
He says you were serious,
but it sounds to me
like you were
a few glasses down at the time.
Anyway, the point is,
I don't have a place for you,
nowhere that I can come
and talk to you,
so I chose this.
I hope you like it.
David and Isla are
coping as best they can.
David said he wants me
to get to know Isla...
..to talk to her about you.
I think I can do that.
As for me?
I miss you, Annie.

He's too smart to
go after police.
If you'd have done your job,
Kat'd still be alive.
- Her death is on you. Kat'd still be alive.
- This is our connection -
the Crosslands Clinic.
That's where he and Colvin met.
A Citroen van of Colvin's.
I know Richards was behind this,
I just need you to confirm it.
When she needed you most,
you weren't there.
You almost killed him!
DI Morton will take over the case.
What?

Thank you.
Alan?
The state of you.
Whilst I can't
comment on any specifics,
I can confirm that
a suspect has been arrested
in connection with
the murder of DS Cabbot.
Is it true the suspect
suffered an injury
- during his arrest?
- I can't comment on that.
A high-speed pursuit
conducted by DCI Banks?
- This is a significant breakthrough.
- Has DCI Banks been suspended?
DCI Banks has taken personal leave.
But he was responsible for the
injury sustained by your suspect?
Thank you. That's all for now.
Do you think his replacement
has the necessary experience
to lead such
an important investigation?
He's not even here
and he's still causing me grief.
Where are we on Colvin?
Hospital cleared him.
We'll conduct
the formal interview today.
House search? Nothing we can use.
What about the murder weapon?
Still looking.
So apart from
placing him at the scene,
along with 100 others,
you've got nothing?
We found blood in his car.
Not a lot, inside the boot.
We'll get the results in an hour.
It could be Colvin's blood.
Or it could be Annie's.
Christ, I hope it is.
DCI Banks has taken
some personal leave.
Yes, but he was responsible for the
injury sustained by your suspect?
Thank you.
That's all for now.
Do you think
his replacement has the...
Your boss doesn't look too happy.
The bloke you arrested,
is he the one who...
Yes and no.
What's that supposed to mean?
Someone ordered him to do it.
I thought it was a mugging.
It was made to look like one.
So, who ordered him, then?
His name's Steven Richards.
How come you haven't arrested him?
We don't have proof. Then find some.
Well, what do you think I've been
trying to do for the last three days?
And now I'm "on leave",
which means I'm not allowed
anywhere near the case.
Oh, that's bollocks, that is.
Look, we're talking
about Annie here.
I did what I could, Dad. Right.
Well, that's what counts.
Anyone remember Charlie Franklin?
He used to work for Steven Richards.
Yeah, I remember him.
Well, according to the lab,
it's his blood in
Stuart Colvin's car.
Well, according to the lab, it's
How the hell did that happen?
Charlie Franklin's been
missing for over a week now.
His sister Liz Telford filed
a miss-per report
yesterday morning.
Liz thinks something's
happened to her baby brother.
Like what? Like he's dead.
Although... (SIGHS) ..it could
just be he's upped sticks.
Franklin's got a history
of moving about.
The blood in Colvin's car
was supposed to be a match to Annie.
It was supposed to give us evidence
to link Colvin to her murder.
And now all we've got
is one blurry CCTV photo
and circumstantial evidence.
Colvin's arrived.
This is a CCTV image
of a man on Barstock Road
the night DS Cabbot was murdered.
It's near to where her body was
found and the time-code shows
he was there
around the time she died.
- Could that be you, Stuart?
- That could be anyone.
Were you on Barstock Road
three nights ago?
- I don't remember.
- Well, the ANPR system
clocked your car in the
city centre at 8:24pm,
less than an hour before
DS Cabbot died.
And the ANPR also
picked up your car
later in Chapeltown at 10:48pm,
at this location, not 100 metres
from where we recovered the bag
that was stolen from DS Cabbot.
- What were you doing in Chapeltown?
- Driving.
- Did you stop in Chapeltown?
- Would you?
You made a call
at 9:12 that night
to a pay-as-you-go number.
I don't remember
making any calls.
- Was it to Steven Richards?
- I don't know who that is.
You and Steven Richards were
at the Crosslands Clinic
in February 2006.
My time at the rehab clinic
is a bit of a blur, I'm afraid.
- What about Charlie Franklin?
- Who?
We found his blood in your car.
Can you tell us how it got there?
You know,
I bought that car,
it must be...
six months ago.
It could be the previous owner
knows something about it.
The auction place will
have all the paperwork,
give 'em a call.
And tell them I'll be down
to buy myself a new one soon.
What with your boss
driving me off the road and all,
must be a bit of compensation
coming my way, what?
You picked a nice spot for her.
- We need to talk.
- Nothing to talk about.
How about Stuart Colvin?
Was he hired to kill Annie?
Hired by your husband?
I don't know what you're on about.
- Help me here.
-Let go of me.
It must be hard,
living in constant denial,
pretending he's not the monster
everyone says he is.
Or do the money and clothes help?
You know nothing about my life.
I know your husband kills people.
Annie had a daughter, Tamsin!
Er...hi, we're
looking for Liz Telford.
She's my wife.
Yeah, I'm DI Morton,
this is DC Blackstone.
We're here to talk to her
about her brother.
We're here to talk to her
I knew it. I knew something was up.
Well, we don't know
anything for certain, Liz.
Right now, Charlie's still missing
and we hope to find him.
When was the last time you saw him?
He dropped by Thursday morning.
How was he? Well, his mood, I mean?
The same as he always was, happy.
He had no problems or worries?
I told you, he was happy.
Was he planning on taking any trips?
Think I'd report him missing if
he was going off on his holidays?
Anyway, he wouldn't leave. Not now.
Why not now?
Liz is ill, cancer.
Because of the chemo,
she needs a bone-marrow transplant.
Charlie was a match.
He was due to donate
his marrow two days ago.
Liz was waiting at the hospital
for Charlie to show, but...
He wouldn't let me down.
Charlie had been working recently?
For some businessman.
- Steven Richards.
- Do you know Steven Richards?
Charlie never talked about him.
No, doesn't ring a bell. Why?
What's this Richards got to do
with my brother disappearing?
We're just trying to
get a full picture.
Well, try this for a picture, love.
Charlie's my last chance.
Either you find him soon
or I'm done for.
The sister seems genuine.
Yeah, but not the brother-in-law.
Richards is throwing up flats
all over the city.
Yet the bloke who owns
a skip-hire business
says he's never heard of him.
Let's check him out.
And I want Franklin's flat searched.
- Banks.
- It's Richards.
We need to talk.
I'd rather we did it face-to-face.
I thought it best
to do it in public.
Last time you
and I were together,
you tried to put me
through a wall.
Shame I was stopped.
Turning up at the grave today,
it was a cheap move.
- I expected more from you.
- Delighted to disappoint you.
My old man used to trade here.
Sold flowers over
there in the corner.
He was a proper character.
Everybody loved him.
A terrible businessman.
I used to think he was failure.
No ambition.
Now I realise that he was just an
ordinary bloke looking out for his own.
Do let me know
when you have a point.
You need to stay away from Tamsin.
And what happens if I don't?
You really don't wanna know.
I remember your dad...
and he wasn't "loved".
He was a drunk and a thief
and a lowlife scumbag,
just like his lowlife scumbag son.
And you can threaten me
as much as you want,
but I am not going away.
So, what we got?
Clothes in the wardrobe,
food in the fridge,
and a brand-new pair of trainers
delivered this morning.
Nothing to suggest
Franklin was taking a trip.
Nothing to suggest
If he left, he left in a hurry.
Which would be understandable,
considering the amount
of debt he's in.
Franklin's fond of a casino or two.
Credit cards are all maxed out.
VINCE: That's just the half of it.
Charlie Franklin owes money
to just about every
loan shark in the city.
I know a croupier
at the Brunswick Casino,
says Charlie's a regular
but no-one's seen him for days.
What about his call records?
His mobile provider
confirms
his phone was active
up until Thursday evening
- and then everything stopped.
- Well, that tallies with the sister.
Can we get a time and a location
on the last call Franklin made?
Funeral notice for Kat Richards.
The same day Franklin went missing.
So, if Franklin went to the service,
it might have been the last time
he was seen before he disappear.
You think something happened there?
It's worth considering.
Vince, let's find out
who Franklin owes money to.
Boss?
Breakfast roll,
extra sauce and a tea.
Thanks. How are you bearing up?
What happened with Colvin?
Interview drew a blank.
Fair chance he'll get released.
You can't release him.
We don't have anything on him,
or at least nothing concrete.
Forensics didn't find anything?
They found something...
but it kinda led us
down a different path.
What path?
Here, here. Let me help you.
My name's Alan Banks. You spoke
to my colleagues this morning.
This about Charlie?
This is about Jack.
I had more on my mind than
who was or wasn't at the funeral,
I was burying my daughter.
So you don't remember
seeing Franklin?
I don't remember much of anything.
He may have been there,
the church was packed.
Steve has a lot of friends.
When did you last see Franklin?
The day after Kat died, maybe.
I spoke to him.
Told him he was sacked and that we
didn't want him around any more.
Charlie Franklin let us down.
Right,
so how come you're the one
asking all the questions now?
Because I'm leading
this investigation.
Oh, yeah, does er...Banks know that?
DCI Banks is aware, yeah.
Because this is the er...
second time
Tamsin's been questioned today.
So you spoke to DCI Banks?
You lot are a bloody shambles.
My husband isn't a liar.
Anyone working in
the building trade
around here knows Richards.
And Jack would've been well-aware
that Charlie was working for him.
This man, Richards,
he's violent and he's ruthless.
This man, Richards,
He just lost his daughter recently
and he blames two people
for her death -
me and your brother.
- Charlie can handle himself.
- No.
Richards is way out
of Charlie's league.
Richards already had
one of my officers killed.
You think Charlie's dead.
And you think Jack knows he's dead.
I'm not listening to this.
Liz.
Let me give you a lift.
- I can manage!
- Please.
I've got a location
on the last call
Franklin received on Thursday.
It pinged off a tower in Gipton.
So what was Franklin
doing in Gipton?
I'm thinking he was here,
a development site
owned by Steven Richards.
They just broke
ground on a bunch
of executive flats last week.
Got to admit...
..a construction site's
a good place to hide a body.
We don't know Franklin's dead.
Not looking good, though, is it?
Let's go and take a look.
It's a big area.
OK, let's do it.
We'll need the works,
a full search team,
a dog unit,
and a ground-penetrating radar.
I hope to God
we find something.
This officer, the one who died.
Her name was Annie. Were you close?
15 years me and Jack
have been together.
I thought I knew everything
there was to know about him.
Thursday night,
about three in the morning...
..Jack got a call.
He said it was the police.
He said the yard
had been broken into
and he had to go down there
to check things out.
It happens a lot.
Kids messing about.
He didn't get back
till 7:00 in the morning.
He said he had to wait
for a locksmith,
but I could tell something was up.
Later on,
I found him in the bathroom...
..crying his eyes out.
15 years...
..I've never seen Jack cry.
Not a single tear.
Even when his mum died, nothing.
So, I'm asking myself,
what possibly
could have happened
that night to scare him so much?
Yeah, it's me.
He's just going in now.
What do you want us to do?
What's the overtime on this?
I'm trying
not to think about it.
Anderson's here.
You sure you've got
enough resources here, DI Morton?
Well, it's a very big area, sir.
- Have you found anything?
- Not yet.
At least you've given that lot
something to point their cameras at.
- We'll do another sweep...
- No,
- you'll shut it down.
- What?
Shut it down now, DI Morton.
All units, stand down!
So, how goes the big dig?
Come on, we've all
blown the overtime budget
- on a wild goose chase.
No, don't do that.
Don't pretend you're
not happy about this.
- About what?
- Me falling flat on my face.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it is.
You don't think
I'm up to leading an investigation.
I think there are areas
you could improve upon.
- Like what?
- You can be a little too rigid.
When am I rigid?
You get caught up in detail.
Yes, because this job is 90% detail.
And the other 10% is instinct,
going with your gut.
I'm fed up with you lot
and your guts.
You're all so proud
of your hunches and your feelings.
It's like a bloody therapy session
half the time.
Well, guess what?
Expressing your feelings
at work isn't healthy.
It's unprofessional.
And you wanna know
how I feel about Annie?
I'm furious with her.
She met the wife of
a violent criminal on her own,
without any back-up.
She didn't even tell you.
She just waltzed on over there,
the stupid blood...
You place such a premium
on going with your gut.
Well, Annie went with her gut
and it got her killed.
I went with my gut
on Richards's building site.
Sometimes your gut is wrong.
Great.
Now you tell me.
You were right about Annie...
..she was reckless
and she was stubborn
and I suppose I encouraged it in her.
It's not your fault.
No? You wanna know
what I did last night?
I broke into Telford's yard
and I came that close to
having my skull cracked open
by Richards's thugs.
Did you find anything?
A newly-laid
concrete floor, and this...
It's a casino chip.
It's Charlie Franklin's casino chip.
What's the drill for, Mr Telford?
Search officers have found
invoices and contracts
relating to Richards's
building projects
in Telford's site office.
So, Telford knows Richards.
Results are in on the casino chip.
They've confirmed the
most recent prints
- belong to Charlie Franklin.
- Yes.
But even if it was
his casino chip,
it doesn't prove
he was near Telford's yard.
Franklin was there.
And I'm betting his body's
under that shed floor.
We'll soon find out, the search team
are about to dig up the concrete.
What about the call Telford took
on the night that Franklin
went missing?
Pay-as-you-go.
But it's the same number
Colvin called
the night Annie died.
This is it, this is our connection.
You get Telford to confirm that
that number belongs to Richards
and we can link him
to Annie's murder.
The call came in
at three in the morning.
You told Liz it was the police,
a break-in at the yard.
But we've no record
of officers attending
the yard on that night,
so someone else must've called you.
Who called you?
Do you recognise this, Jack?
It's a casino chip,
it's worth ?10.
We found it in your yard.
Now, we know your brother-in-law
Charlie often frequents casinos.
Sir.
We also found
his fingerprint on this chip.
It belongs to him.
How did get into your shed?
He must have dropped it.
He comes down the yard sometimes.
Was he there on Thursday night?
No.
You're sure about that?
We've got officers
searching your shed.
They're digging up the floor.
Now, what do you think
they're gonna find
under all that fresh concrete?
He said it was my fault.
He said because it were me
who had vouched for him,
I had to take care of it.
All I did was put in
a good word for Charlie.
He needed a job...I got him one.
Who said this, Jack?
He phones me...
..tells me to get down the yard.
I get down there and there's this...
there's this bloke. He's...
..proper scary and he's got Charlie
in the boot of his car...
..like a piece of luggage.
I could see he were dead.
Was this him?
He said we had to get rid
of Charlie's body.
He said we had to bury it.
So I broke up the floor in the shed.
It took me two hours
to drill it out.
We put Charlie in the hole.
I mixed up a new batch
of concrete and...
poured it over the top of him.
The phone call, the one
that told you to go to the shed.
Who was it?
I need you to say the name.
Steven Richards.
Bring him in.
Sir.
What about Colvin?
We're just about to release him.
Ken's sorting it.
- Come to wave me off, have you?
- Yeah, about that.
I'm afraid there's been
some developments.
You won't get him.
Steven always gets to walk away.
Well, maybe not this time.
Maybe if you were to help us,
we could stop him.
We'd protect you, Tamsin.
Like you protected Annie?
There's plenty of time to challenge
him later, don't get into a scrap.
Go at him with Franklin first...
Boss!
She knows what she's doing.
The time is 16:43.
Detective Inspector Helen Morton.
With me is Detective Constable
Ken Blackstone.
Do you know Jack Telford?
...I know he runs a skip business.
When did you last speak to him?
Really no idea.
- Did you speak to him recently?
- No.
- So you didn't call him last week?
- No.
- Are you sure about that?
- He answered the question.
Move on.
OK.
Well, Mr Telford stated
that you called him on his mobile
at 3am last Friday morning.
And that you told Mr Telford
to meet Stuart Colvin
at his skip-hire business
on Gartmore Road.
- No, that's not true.
- Mr Telford also
says that you instructed
him and Colvin
to bury Charlie Franklin
on his premises.
How do you respond to that?
The man's lying.
So you didn't force Mr Telford
to meet with Stuart Colvin?
No, I don't know
who this Colvin bloke is.
Why would Mr Telford lie?
My client is not a psychologist,
DI Morton, you can't...
Hang on a second.
Jack Telford, his...his wife,
she's er... she's ill, bless her.
She's got some sort
of erm... is it cancer?
Cancer's a stressful business,
and sometimes
the partner feels it the most.
Maybe Telford's not coping.
Maybe he has this
run-in with Franklin,
kills him,
buries his body in the yard.
And then you lot come along
and he gets scared
and concocts this story
about me and this Colvin
as a way of deflecting
his own guilt.
But you don't know Colvin,
you've never met him.
It seems odd that Mr Telford
would concoct a link
between two strangers.
We've a record of the call
that Mr Telford
received that night
and it was from this mobile number.
Do you recognise the number?
No.
It's the same number
that Stuart Colvin called
the night DS Cabbot
was murdered.
We would like to
request a short break.
- For what reason?
- I need to confer with my client.
I have further questions.
Which you can ask when we resume.
Nadir's messing us about.
Well, that's only
because he's worried.
- You did a really great job in there.
- Yeah.
It'd be a lot better if we could
link Richards to the pay-as-you-go.
What about the search of his house?
- Vince is liaising with them.
- Well, see if they've got anything.
What was that about?
Well, just because she's a lawyer
doesn't mean she's off-limits.
Hey. David?
They asked me to come in
and er...collect Annie's stuff.
- I could have brought that...
- I wanted to get out.
How's Isla?
She's like her mum, strong.
And you?
You're gonna get the bastard, right?
I promise you we will.
Right.
I should...
Banks.
Colvin's making a statement.
She was distracted.
I went for her bag.
She put up a fight and...
..I killed DS Cabbot...
..and I was acting alone
when I did it.
The knife I used, I dropped
down a drain on Kirkgate Road.
It's probably still there now.
And the call you made that night?
It must have been a mistake.
What about Charlie Franklin?
Charlie owed me money.
We had an argument, it got violent.
I needed to get rid of the body
so I went to
his brother-in-law's yard.
And his brother-in-law
says Steven Richards called
and ordered him to help you
bury Franklin's body.
He's lying.
As with the copper,
I was acting alone
when I killed Franklin.
Why are you doing this?
I'm racked with guilt.
- He's taking the fall.
- He's taking the piss.
- Release Richards now.
- Sir!
- You have the confession.
- Colvin's a hired gun,
he's just doing
what he was told.
Richards is the one responsible
for their deaths.
Then find a way to prove it.
A 49-year-old man will
appear in court today
charged with the murder
of DS Annie Cabbot.
The man from the Leeds area
will also be charged with
the murder of Charles Franklin.
- He called you as well?
- What's it about?
- You look like the living dead.
- I need you both to sit down.
- Do you want anything?
- Helen, please.
What's going on, Ken?
I spent the night in the office
going through some
of our recent cases.
Why? Looking for something.
Something I hoped I wouldn't find.
Get to the point, Ken.
It's funny how Richards
always seems to be
one step ahead of us.
Not by much, but just enough.
Boss.
What is this,
the welcoming party?
We need to have a word.
Richards's building site at Gipton.
What about it?
Why did you lie about
Franklin's phone registering there?
I checked.
The last call pinged off a tower
on the other side of Leeds.
You led us to that site at Gipton.
- I...I must've made a mistake.
- Right.
Colvin's confession
wasn't a mistake though, was it?
That was timed to perfection,
just when we were
about to crack Richards.
I saw you talking
to Colvin's solicitor last night.
And she's not the only one you've
been talking to recently, is she?
An unknown number
keeps coming up on your records.
Multiple calls
at all times of the day.
You wanna tell us
who's been calling you?
I get lots of calls.
Let's ring it then, shall we?
All right, all right.
Why?
Does it matter?
It matters.
After Mum died,
Dad got back into boxing.
That's where he met Richards.
They became good mates.
My dad was still drinking back then
and one night he hurt this guy,
put him in hospital.
And the guy was all set
to go to the police
And the guy was all set
until Richards stepped in.
Of course, I didn't... I didn't
know any of this at the time.
Richards told me
once I joined the force.
He made it clear,
if I didn't cooperate...
..my dad was going to prison.
So you just fell into line?
I was looking out for my dad.
And what about Annie?
She was your colleague.
Boss, I'm sorry.
Ken.
I'm sorry.
Tomorrow morning, we come
back to work and we start again.
And we keep doing that
until we get Richards.
And then what?
Even if we get him,
he'll always have an edge.
A slick lawyer, a corrupt cop.
Some lowlife willing to stand up
and take the fall for him.
Look at us.
We've sacrificed our marriages,
our families, our lives.
We have no life, you and me.
- We're sad people.
- Speak for yourself.
I used to think
the sacrifice was worth it.
Richards killed our friend
and walked away from it.
And the fact that he can do that
makes everything
we stand for worthless.
Your search team made
a mess of things. (SIGHS)
Where's Tamsin?
She's gone.
I'm sensing some tension, Alan.
Why did you kill Annie?
I have to know.
What does it matter?
She's dead and so's Kat.
Don't bring Kat into this, what
happened to her was different.
You had Annie killed.
The least you can do
is let me know why.
Because I could.
Now I wanna know!
Why?
Because he was protecting me.
Tamsin, you need to go.
You need to leave now.
No, Steven.
No more.
We told Franklin
not to come to the funeral.
Steven warned him...
but he came round
to the house instead.
He waited until I was alone.
He wanted it to be just me and him.
He thought I'd go soft on him.
He asked me to get Steven
to forgive him.
And what he didn't realise
is that it wasn't Steven
who wanted revenge.
You killed Franklin.
Right here in this kitchen.
Steven took care of it
when he came home.
He took care of me.
I loved him for that.
You don't have to be
strong to kill someone.
Where you need strength
is afterwards...
to block out the guilt.
And that's where I fell down.
It just ate me up.
And so I turned to Annie.
I didn't know Colvin
was following me,
but he was outside.
He must have read the signs
and called Steven.
And Steven isn't one
for taking chances.
I got her killed.
She died because
I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
Helen, come on,
it's time we got the drinks in.
- Sounds like a plan.
- DI Morton?
- I'll see you down there.
- Sir.
Here.
- It's a DCI post.
- An opening's come up in Vice.
They need you to start right away.
You'll need to let Banks know.
- No, I don't think I will.
- He'll need to be informed.
No, I mean,
I won't be taking up the post.
The team's been through a lot
and we don't need
any more changes right now.
Thank you.
So, it seems you told David
So, it seems you told David
you wanted to leave
your body to medical science.
He says you were serious,
but it sounds to me
like you were
a few glasses down at the time.
Anyway, the point is,
I don't have a place for you,
nowhere that I can come
and talk to you,
so I chose this.
I hope you like it.
David and Isla are
coping as best they can.
David said he wants me
to get to know Isla...
..to talk to her about you.
I think I can do that.
As for me?
I miss you, Annie.
