[eerie music]

[ominous beat music]

[electrical fizzling]

[menacing music]

That's a decent suit
he's wearing.

Suicide?

Could be.

He's a bloody good
contortionist.

Someones gonna report
that he's not come home.

So we'll just sit by
our phone, shall we?

Case will solve itself.

[ominous music]

Could be a robbery.

His wallet's gone,
everything's been cleared out.

Everything?

Completely.

No ID.

It's like the case of
the meticulous mugger.

Or the killer doesn't
want us to find out

who this fellow is.

Let's get fingerprints, teeth,

anything else that might
give us a clue to his ID.

[Peter] What's got
into you, Andy?

Me?

I'm in the pink.

Why should anything
be getting at me?

So the deal is done.

Our Russian friends
have signed up

and the good people of Moscow

will be wearing Mattis
Shoes next summer.

[applauding]

When I went out to Russia,
I wanted an interpreter.

And I found much more.

I don't think I need
to remind you all

of the part Natalia has played
in securing this contract.

This export market

is gonna be the making
of Mattis Shoes

and it just would not have
happened without Natalia.

[applauding]

I like it here.

I am so glad you brought
me to England.

That was such a...

You know, everything
happening so quickly.

No time to stop and think.

That's what's so right
about you and I.

We're just following
our feelings.

Not letting all that other
stuff get in the way.

Richard, you don't
really know me.

Natalia, I have made
mistakes in my time,

and plenty of them,

but I think I'm old enough...

[chucking]

I hope I'm getting wise enough

to know when things are right.

In Russia we say, "When
life is moving happily,

"don't whip the horse."

What's the point in us waiting?

I don't care what they say.

We're gonna show them
that you're here to stay.

[somber music]

There's something I
want to show you.

It's over here.

This way.

[pleasant music]

[thunder rumbling]

[ominous music]

Taxi!

[eerie music]

[somber music]

[sighing]

[factory commotion]

[Woman] Doing things the
way they've always done them

nearly got this company
to its knees.

[Man] It's not the way we work

that nearly done for this place.

Look, all that matters is the
way we do things now, okay?

And I would like you to
start using the dockets.

Deborah, have you got a minute?

Good god, you look like
you've seen a ghost.

Come on, dad, let's
get a cup of tea.

[Sam] I've thought about
it, it's what I want.

Sam, look, you can't have
thought about it much.

What would you do?

What do I do here?

There's you, there's
dad, there's Deborah.

You've all got jobs, positions.

Have you thought about
what sort of work

you would do if you left?

I'm gonna move away.

I'll speak to your father.

We'll give you more to do.

I'm not gonna be talked
out of it, Mom.

Look at her, she has no shame.

She didn't put us all
in this situation.

Dad did.

[somber music]

[factory commotion]

As you know, Natalia,

this has always been
a family business.

Richard's family, yes.

And it's always been run
by members of the family.

I don't want to put anyone
out of their place, Marion.

Of course you don't.

But I just feel it would make
everyone feel a lot easier if.

This can't be true.

You can't.

They're getting married.

Your father thinks he
can do this to us.

[Sam] When did this happen?

Last night.

I wasn't expecting it.

It's a beautiful ring.

You think it matters to me?

I don't need the ring when
I have the man that I want.

Why didn't you tell
me about this, Dad?

Not a lot of time, Deborah.

There's been so much going on.

I mean, last night seeing
him on the street--

What does he want?

I don't know.

He called a few days ago.

Come on, Dad, you must
know why he was calling.

He just said he was back

and that we'd be
hearing from him.

Right, okay, now listen to me.

You need to get ahold
of some cash for me.

30 thousand pounds.

By the look of decomposition,
he's been in the water,

perhaps two weeks?

Well there's nothing from
Missing Persons that matches.

No one's come forward
from the news reports.

Maybe you're better
off dead, pal.

Was he dead by the time
he hit the water?

Most definitely.

Because of the amount of
bleeding inside the skull,

we can safely say that
death occurred

prior to disposal in the water.

There's no definite
signs in the tissue

to suggest that he drowned.

Should we stop farting
about and call it murder?

We can't rule out the
possibility of accidental death.

We can't rule out
the possibility

of a vicious gangland
revenge killing.

Second time unlucky
for our bearded friend.

Second time?

Oh yes.

If I wanted puzzles,
Ashurst, I'd do a crossword.

Just spit it out!

We found this bullet
in his lower spine.

Popular sod, wasn't he?

But not a lot of help to you.

I'd say it had been in
there for two years.

Well, we found the wound and
we went in and had a look.

It was in an inaccessible site,

tucked right into his spine.

Let's have all the usual
tests, shall we?

Might give us a clue to
who his old enemies were.

Are you gonna tell
me what's up, Andy,

or are we gonna have
to put up with

you chewing a wasp all week?

I had a little chat with
them upstairs yesterday,

in their request.

They've decided I
am too be removed

as the superintendent
in operations

to working on the Best
Values Review Panel.

There, you got you confession.

It'll be less hours.

Regular work.

Yeah

and it would kill, end of story.

[Vince] You were upset
last night, Jacquie.

You were crying.

Quiet kids cartoons.

I'll be finished about eight.

Wanna walk down to
the King's Head?

Maybe get a bite to eat?

Oh, I can't.

Shannon's gone down
with the flu again.

Sorry.

Yeah, well,

if it's your kids,
you got to do it.

[factory commotion]

All right.

What have we got in
the unknown gallery?

No witnesses have
come forward, sir.

We don't even know where
he was actually killed.

His fingerprints have
given us no leads.

So the chances are he's
got no criminal record.

Should make gangland revenge
schemes a bit of a long shot.

Any luck tracing the suit?

It's Italian.

Might be bought in Rome.

Might have been bought
in Bradford.

That was a bit of an
awkward sod, isn't he?

We're not gonna find the killer

until we find out the
identity of the victim.

So I suggest you lot
get your skates on!

Andy.

Sorry to hear about
the, you know.

Who told you?

Oh, everyone knows.

You don't have to
take it, you know.

I have no intention
of taking it.

Good lad.

You do like me, grab
the money and run.

I'll tell you, retirement's
gonna be

the best thing that
ever happened to me.

Same, Peter, Andy should
take the cash,

let the next generation
get on with it.

It's now a crowbar that needs
to get Andy out of here.

A forklift truck.

[truck engine revving]

[somber music]

[ominous music]

Debbie, come here.

[Deborah] What is it, mom?

What does it mean?

I'm gonna call Dad.

[ominous music]

[radio beat music]

Richard.

Thank you.

What for?

You brought me here and
you have given me so much.

That's only the beginning.

[phone ringing]

What is it, Sam?

[Sam] Dad, you need to
get down to the factory.

[foreboding music]

We'll have to call
in the police.

Why?

It's a prank.

Why can we not just
deal with it ourselves?

Because there's a threat there.

If someone, whoever meant it,

do you really think they
would be so considerate,

so stupid as to post
up a warning?

A "come and get me" notice?

Deborah, look at this.

Dad, come off it,
you're the boss.

Somebody doesn't like the
new codes of practice.

Surely you're not saying
it's someone who works here,

one of us.

Maybe this place isn't
the happy family

you like to think it is.

I don't want to believe
that anyone here

could do a thing like this.

You all know, as well as I do,
this this is a family firm.

We're all in this together.

There's got to be changes
if we're going to move one.

And if anyone has a grievance,

I can't believe you wouldn't
come and talk to me about it.

[Deborah] It is mine, Dad!

All right?

Everybody back to work.

And listen, we don't
want stuff like this.

Okay, thank you.

[ominous music]

Wait a minute.

Whatever you're gonna
say, say it now.

What the hell are you doing?!

[thudding]

[ominous music]

[factory commotion]

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]

Dalziel.

[Peter] Someone's been found
dead, a Richard Mattis.

How dead?

[knocking]

I've got a call out.

Dawn, I can't!

Lou's here.

Mom, it's a murder, I
haven't got a choice.

[sighing]

Oh, great.

What happened to, "You
take that job, Dawn,

"I'll be there for you?"

I just didn't know

I was just gonna get a
life of me own, did I?

Is that a new shirt?

Present from Lou.

It's quality.

Something off his store.

He's keen, isn't he?

That makes two of us.

I'm glad for you, Mom.

You deserve a bit of fun.

Who found the body?

Two service hands going
to tea break.

They're giving their
statements now, sir.

Let's get Ashurst out of bed.

That fellow's cheered
me up already.

Where do you wanna start?

The family.

[Sam] We didn't know
what to think.

It's a pretty clear warning.

[Deborah] Dad seemed agitated.

Did he say anything
about who he thought

this little message
might be from?

Nothing, we were all
dumbfounded by it.

[Peter] So you were all here

in the factory when it happened?

It was a busy time.

We all put in a lot
of hours, you know?

Yeah, we know the feeling.

So you were all here

but you didn't notice
anything none too odd.

Heard anything?

It's a factory.

There are people moving
around all the time.

So that's a no, is it?

Superintendent, we're
trying to help.

My children have just
lost their father.

We don't need your bobs.

My apologies.

But as I say, somebody
killed your husband.

My ex-husband.

You say you were
all here working.

Dad wasn't here.

He was at the house
with Natalia.

Well who's Natalia?

Dad went to Russia on business

and he brought her
back with him.

And you didn't approve.

What, my father marrying
a stranger

25 years younger than him?

No, we're overjoyed.

Has anything told her
what's happened?

[somber music]

I'm sorry, I'm not awake.

I took some sleeping tablets.

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Something's happened.

Mr. Mattis is dead.

Who?

I mean, do you mean Richard?

Yes.

An accident?

He was murdered.

I need to ask you
some questions.

This is my fault.

I wasn't in love with him.

You were engaged.

I only wanted to get
out of Russia.

Richard wanted to
give that to me.

I touch something,
things go bad.

It is fated.

Sir!

We got a problem.

Now there's a surprise.

The body's been moved.

You can see from the
trail of blood

where the body was dragged from.

[phone ringing]

You better see who
that is, Spike.

You'll be contaminating
evidence, Mr. Dalziel.

We might be missing the killer

having a terrible pain of
conscious, calling up to
confess.

I'll take full responsibility.

[phone ringing]

Sir.

It's Richard Mattis'.

What's the message?

Three in the hour
before he died.

Someone called Chris.

That's my son.

Our younger son.

[upbeat music]

Try it again if you like.

[laughing]

Drinks, drinks.

Harvey, serve again over here.

[upbeat music]

Sorry to intrude on your grief,

but I have a few questions.

Chris, can you tell me
where you been tonight?

The early part of the evening.

Here.

Been here all day working.

I suppose, this being
a very busy place,

there'd be plenty people
about to say they saw you.

Go ask them.

Oh, I will, yeah.

When was the last time you
spoke to your dad, Chris?

We talk all the time.

Like every day, sometimes.

When was it?

Must've been yesterday, here.

Chris,

you called your father
just tonight.

Three times.

You left messages.

Sounded urgent.

Yeah.

He called me.

Needed to speak to me.

I had some work stuff I
needed to talk to him about.

Yeah.

We were gonna get together.

Most people only
need one reason.

I'm just wondering why
you needed two or three.

How coherent would you
be, Superintendent,

if you'd just been told
your father was dead?

Chris,

what were you doing around
eight o'clock this evening?

Eight?

It's early here, no one about.

Let's think.

Yeah, I was in here with
a friend of mine.

Just talking sort of thing.

Quiet drink before it
all kicks off here.

What was his name?

Darrell Sylvian.

I know him.

So you were in here
having a nice, relax drink

with your friend, Darrell?

He didn't say relaxed.

He said he was having
a quiet drink.

Your mother like this,

you won't need a
solicitor, Chris.

[dramatic music]

[sighing]

[television commotion]

[TV Announcer] Decent care
requires adequate resources

and long spells in homes can be

serious financial burden
for families.

[birds chirping]

[somber music]

You look rough.

Well, you look more rough.

What we have here,
gentlemen, is a conundrum.

No, what we have is a body

and what we want is
some forensic findings.

This wound, here, is
what killed him.

And here we've got a replica
of the beautify that did it.

I believe it's called a
four inch clicker's knife.

It's used in shoemaking.

The tip of the weapon

was embedded in the bone of
the vertebrate in his neck

and snapped off.

This section here was
buried in his neck.

The handle and the
tip of the blade

was broken off perhaps
in a struggle.

So the handle could
still be in the factory.

We know we didn't find
it where he was attacked.

But what this wound tells us

is the blade passed
through the space

between two vertebrate and
damaged the spinal chords,

causing instant death.

So he was moved after
he was killed.

Yes.

But what causes particular
interest, gentlemen,

is the skin was torn

but there was no bruising.

So it suggests that the blade
was broken off sometime later.

How much later?

I'd say around 10 to
20 minutes later.

Why the time delay?

There's your conundrum.

The killer came back
later to cover his tracks,

when he knew it wouldn't
be noticed

or wouldn't be missed.

Possible.

And since we're all in
the mood for conundrums.

The bullet we took from
your unidentified man.

I got the report back
from ballistics.

We've identified the
firearm involved.

It's a Kalashnikov AK-47.

Richard Mattis

and we got some odd
forensics on the wound.

And we got our fascinating
Russian bride to be

and our old friend here

has a two year old Russian
bullet buried in his spine.

I think that makes a very
interesting connection.

Not necessarily.

You can catch one of those
bullets in Manchester these
days.

That's true enough

and very sage of you to
be so open-minded, Peter.

I might also add that the canal

is only spitting distance
from the factory

and I think that makes
the Russian connection

the one that we should pursue.

Let's find out if the
fragrant Italian knew him.

I'll have a chat with
our Moscow colleagues

and see what they can tell us.

Now the youngest son has given
himself a very dodgy alibi.

Darrell Sylvian.

A regular scumbag.

Convicted for ABH, extortion.

Yeah.

I'll be giving the boy, Chris,
my close personal attention.

Anything else from the factory?

What about the painting, sir?

I think that could be
telling us that--

[whistling tune]

That could be telling us

that someone was pretty
bloody angry.

[whistling tune]

So who is it

who hated the sight of
Richard Mattis so much?

Let's see if we can find that
missing part of the weapon.

[whistling tune]

[Dawn] You're the foreman,
you move around a lot.

You see everything.

Everybody moves around.

Yeah but you've worked
here for years.

If something was odd

like someone wasn't
supposed to be in here.

Then you would spot that, yeah?

You have your mind on the job.

Everybody does.

Can you tell me what
you were doing

in the 30 minutes before
Mr. Mattis' body was found?

I nipped out for a smoke.

On your own?

No.

With Jacquie.

Jacquie Whiting?

She works on the
cutting machines.

I'll tell you what's
bothering me.

Something terrible has
happened to your boss,

in a place where some of
you have worked for years,

and nobody wants to help us.

Mr. Humphries.

I wasn't in last night.

I only just found
out what happened

when I came in this morning.

Otherwise, I would've
told you sooner.

Told us what, Mr. Humphries?

A couple of days ago,

I'm not saying that this is
definitely going to help you,

it's just that, when I
found out what had happened

I thought I should tell you.

Any information would
be useful to us.

Mr. Mattis came to me,

anything to do with finances,
you see, goes through me.

And?

He came to me,

and it was a rather unusual,

but it's not for me to judge.

He wanted 30 thousand
pounds cash,

from the company account.

And I don't know what
he did with it.

[somber music]

[knocking]

Mr. Humphries tells me
your father withdrew

30 thousand pounds from
the business account

just a couple of days
before he was killed.

You didn't know?

My father does, well
he did things,

that made me want to scream.

I'll take it that this
was an unusual occurrence.

Well, I'd know about it
if it wasn't, wouldn't I?

You know we're gonna dig
into your father's life

until we find out what
this money was for.

Look, my father was...

well, he was a bit
of a soft touch.

Chris thinks that he is
a bit of a business man,

bless him.

So he sets up these big projects

but he can't do the work
to make them pay.

Just likes to let himself
be the big mister, you know?

My father bailed him out

many number of times,
I'm afraid.

So was it for Chris this time?

Well no, maybe not.

He did say he wasn't willing
to cough up any more.

He said it was for
Chris' own benefit.

But you've also got another idea

about where this
money was going.

Natalia?

What do you think?

What you said,

more the way you said it,

Richard being your ex-husband.

How come you're still
here, working this closely?

It's a family business.

Mrs. Mattis,

were you still in love with him?

I am here, Superintendent,
for my children.

We built this business
up for them.

Sounds to me like more
than a full-time job.

When the children were
young, we only made saddles.

That's what the factory was,

going right back through
Richard's family

and we were struggling.

So I said we should
try other things.

Making shoes started to pay.

So, you see, I put my
life into this business.

I'm not gonna walk
away just because

Richard's got himself
involved with some party girl.

It can't be easy,

your ex bringing this
young woman in here,

under your nose.

[Natalia yelling]

I'm sorry, you're not allowed--

[Natalia] Let me through!

[Officer] You can't, miss!

[Natalia] Let me through!

No, No, No, it's okay.

It's all right.

Natalia, Natalia, come
on, don't do this.

Don't do this to yourself.

It's all right.

I see what you're thinking!

I see you looking
at me, blaming me!

Natalia, stop this, no
one's blaming you.

[Natalia] It is my fault!

No, no, no, it's not your fault.

It's okay.

Natalia--

I am the guilty one.

Natalie, look at me!

Look at me!

You're going to be all right.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

[sobbing]

Are you prone to that kind of
emotional outburst, Miss...

Chevlikin.

[Andy] Chevlikin.

Only when the man that
I'm engaged to is killed.

You told me you didn't love him.

Yes

and that's why I feel
so bad because

he loved me.

He was kind to me.

He trusted me.

Did he mention anything
to you about some cash?

Some money?

No.

Nothing.

Did he meet anyone here?

Someone who might have been
bothering him, perhaps?

No, not while I was here.

But you know, something
happened while we were out.

What?

We saw this strange-looking man.

His face was...

ugly.

So was Arthur Wetherton.

Do you mean disfigured?

This man, I was shocked,
but Richard...

Richard was like this
man scared him.

Anybody else see him?

I can see that you would
like if I was lying to you.

Don't flatter yourself, love.

How old would you say
he was, Natalia?

It is not easy, he could be 40,

he could be 60.

[somber music]

Okay.

Right, what's your name, please?

Jacquie Whiting.

Are you all right?

Just...

He's dead.

I can't believe it.

To be honest with you,

it's a relief to see
someone mourning the bloke.

One of your workmates...

Vince Kilcline?

He said that on the night
that Richard was found

you were outside with
him have a cigarette.

What time was that exactly?

Outside?

Well, yeah, we do
that sometimes.

What time?

Got to think.

Seven or something.

7:30.

I don't know, I didn't
look at my watch.

Sorry.

Everybody seems a
little guarded.

A bit jumpy.

Why do you suppose that is?

I don't know.

Why would I know?

I just work here.

I'm nobody.

I just work, I've got
kids, I have to work.

It's okay, Jacquie.

I'm just trying to piece
things together.

You seem really upset.

Somebody died.

Somebody got killed.

Yeah, somebody got killed.

My point exactly.

I need this job.

Please, let me go.

Okay, Jacquie.

If you think of anything
else, let us know.

[ominous music]

[exciting club music]

[Andy] There he is.

Chris,

what we've heard is you were
after money from your dad.

Yeah, he did help me
out, of course he did.

He loans a lot but
not 30 thousand.

Only this time your
father turned the tap off.

I know who's told this.

My sister, yeah?

Well you go and ask her.

Go and ask her about
the things she's said,

things she's done.

Like what?

Dad did loan me money,
I'm not denying that

but you look at his
checks he gave me.

You wanna have a look?

Now you listen to me, sunshine!

If you've got something
to say about your sister,

or anybody else for that matter,

you'd better cough it up
now because I'm getting

a bit sick with this
waltz around the houses!

Everybody knows!

Aint gonna fuck with
the whole business.

She's gonna have it and
no one's gonna stop here,

not me, not Sam, not Natalia.

Certainly not dad.

You get out of the wrong
side of the bed this morning?

I should be so lucky.

Come on then, let's have it.

I can't help wondering,

maybe you're losing sleep
or why you're losing sleep,

maybe it's not leaving
you in the best shape

to see what's right
for this case.

I'm not stupid, you know, Peter.

I know that my turn will come
when I'm put out to pasture.

I know I have to accept it.

But I don't want to!

I'll tell you what
sticks in my craw!

I look at that lot in
there, the next generation,

and if it's the likes of
them I gotta make way for,

then we might as well all
jump off the bridge right now!

But it's not the likes of them

you'll be making way for, is it?

It's the likes of me.

Oh, I get it.

I get it, yeah.

You can't wait for me
to kill over, can you?

So you can have the
suit and the desk!

Did I say that?

Oh come off it.

Here, come on!

Have it!

Go on, dead man's shoe!

Here!

[dramatic music]

[gasping]

[ominous music]

[city commotion]

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]

You all right?

What's this lot?

You joined another
dating agency?

I'm gonna show them to Natalia.

See if any of them might be
our man outside the restaurant.

[whistling tune]

Why is he always
ruddy whistling?

A present.

Our man with no name.

Our odontologist tells me his
root canal work is so crude,

it's gotta be pre-glasnost,
Eastern European.

So he is Russian.

At last.

You're sure?

It wasn't very long
to look at him

but what I saw in his face,
I will never forget it.

What is this?

The man found floating
in the canal

just a few days before
Mr. Mattis died.

He was murdered as
well, they say,

and we were wondering
if you recognized him.

No.

Please, it is so awful.

Because, see the
this is, Miss...

Chevlikin,

we have good reason to believe
that this man's Russian

and that seems, to us, to
be a bit of a coincidence.

So I'll ask you again,

are you sure you don't
know this man?

He doesn't even look
Russian to me.

Aye?

I'm calling from Yorkshire.

What?

No, Yorkshire.

The capital of England.

What do you mean yet?

Aw, nevermind.

Moscow police.

Can't find a soul who
speaks English.

If they were around here,

we would be awash with
multilingual coppers.

Sir.

Sir.

Have you thought about
taking sleeping tablets?

I might get some sodding
sleep if you lot gave me

a half decent lead on
one of these murders.

This bloke with a
disfigured face,

Natalia said Richard's
reaction was like

he was scared of him,
he knew him maybe.

So if Richard knew him,

chances are someone
else at the factory

might know who he is.

I'll talk to special branch,

get them to send some DNA of
our mystery man to Moscow.

What do you want?

Congratulations?

Get on with it.

Frightening sometimes, isn't he?

What's frightening is I
might end up like him.

You have to practice
his sour scowl.

I can do better than
that, Spike.

I've already got the empty house

and the job that takes
over your life.

Despite everything,

we appreciate what you've
done for Mattis Shoes

and so we wouldn't want you

to go away empty-handed,
of course.

Of course.

[tearing]

You didn't even look
to see how much it was.

Because I know it is not enough.

I used to live in this house,

sleep in that bed.

Now I have to ring the
doorbell to be let in.

Do you know how that feels?

You have no reason to stay.

You are not wanted here.

I don't want to go back, Marion.

I can not go back.

Why would you want to stay?

Why would you want me to go
so badly that you will pay me?

Because my family have
worked hard for years

to build up this business
into what it is.

I want what there is
for my children.

What about my child?

She's lying.

That child has rights, claims.

She has no intention of moving.

I think she's lying.

I always knew dad
was pretty stupid.

I'm sorry, I know
he's just died,

but if he has done this to
us I will never forgive him.

Of course, we can insist
on a DNA test.

That's just gonna delay
everything even more, isn't it?

It's a mess!

How did she seem?

How do you think?

She was gloating.

She obviously thinks
she's gonna get

one over on us with this.

Well I'm gonna have her
life checked inside out.

I don't care how much it costs,

I don't care how long it takes.

She is not gonna get
away with this!

Such a mess, it's never
gonna get sorted out.

No it's not.

It's not a mess!

Listen to me!

What is here is yours.

I'm not gonna let your
father's stupidity ruin that.

I need that money now!

Chris, calm down!

Everything's gonna be all right.

How is it gonna be all right?

How?

Dad's dead, I still
need the money!

I need it now!

You have to help me!

Chris, I haven't got
that much money.

I couldn't get a hold
of it, not today.

There's money, of course
there's money!

Where's that money dad had?

That cash, 30 thousand,
where's that?

Chris, could you not just
stop thinking about yourself?

I need the money!

I owe people.

They want their money now!

Family!

It's all talk!

Where are you when I need you?

How's your little
Shannon, Jacquie?

Getting better now.

Don't you think you
should be at home with her

if she is sick?

Mr. Kilcline?

I've given me statement.

There's nothing I can tell you.

What about something that
might have happened years ago?

I understand you've been
working at the factory

since you left school.

Like what?

Like someone who might
have worked here.

Like someone with a grudge.

You mean Stevie Earle?

It was a long time ago.

I didn't think it was possible.

But Marion, this man
might have killed Richard.

Why would you keep this from us?

Oh, shame I suppose.

What's there to be ashamed of?

Lies.

Cowardice.

[men laughing]

Self-interest.

Dangerous chemicals.

[whooshing]

[yelling]

[ominous music]

When it happened,

we realized if Stevie Earle
sued us for compensation

it could cost us everything.

If it brought in health
and safety investigators,

they would've closed us down.

We told him that the
foreman on his shift

was saying he was drunk,

so it was his fault.

We told him he'd get nothing.

Someone pours acid over
your family portrait

and you're telling me
you all looked at this

and no one thought it
might be this Earle fellow.

It was a long time ago.

I suppose no one wanted
to think that it--

What happened to Stevie Earle?

We gave him some money,
a couple of thousand,

and that was it.

Except it's looking
like that wasn't it.

When was the last time
anyone saw him?

He sort of dropped off the map.

Did he have any family?

He was married.

There was a daughter, I think.

[Woman] And stretch out.

Thank you very much, ladies.

See you all next week.

[clapping]

Jemma?

Jemma Earle?

I was eight years old.

I adored my dad.

Adored him.

He was funny and daft.

And then he was gone
for so long.

I didn't understand about
factories and accidents.

I was waiting for
him to come home.

And then when he did,

it wasn't him.

I was only eight.

I didn't know.

Because...

I was scared of him, do you see?

My own dad.

I know now what that
must've been like for him.

I was only a child.

And he reacted badly?

I mean, he always drank.

He just drank more and more.

So it all got worse.

And mom,

she just couldn't
take it anymore.

And then he was just gone.

You haven't seen him since.

Well, I...

I just closed it all out.

But then, about two weeks ago,

he's been on my mind.

He's my dad.

I wanted to sort of apologize.

I wanted to find him to talk.

Did you find him?

And?

He was beyond reach.

[sniffling]

I think...

the accident...

It devastated him, yeah,

but what I did...

It broke his heart.

You were only a child.

Where is he now, Jemma?

Where did you find him?

[dramatic music]

[doorbell ringing]

I just wanted to make
sure you were all right.

No I'm not.

I'm more scared than
I have ever been.

They've asked me to
come and see you.

The family.

It must be so terrible for them.

They want to know what
you're gonna do.

What is it that you want
when all this is over?

That is all I want.

I want all this to be over.

And that's all?

Of course.

Mother says you're pregnant.

Do you see, in all this,
that is the one good thing.

Do you see?

[Man] The thing is with
Stevie, he comes and he goes.

Has he got himself in
some bother, has he?

[Peter] When was the
last time he was here?

A few days ago.

To tell you the truth,

I'd not be sorry if
he didn't come back.

Has he ever kicked off?

Been violent with anyone?

Oh, aye, but that doesn't
make him unique around here.

Any particular friends in here?

Anyone I should talk to?

I wouldn't say Stevie went
through life making friends.

Any visitors?

We don't keep a guest book.

But I'd know if he had
any, you know, company.

What about his daughter?

That's right.

Nice young thing.

You'd never suspect she'd
come from the likes of Stevie.

And that's it?

Definite.

If he turns up again,

or if there's anything
else you've forgotten,

it'll be a good idea to call me.

[dramatic music]

[beat music]

Can I have a pint of whiskey?

[beat music]

[beeping]

[beeping]

What's the big go at
this unearthly hour?

There's a baked roll
waiting for you in the car.

A large coffee would
be more useful to me.

I've sent the uniform lads
to drag the boy, Chris,

out of his nice warm bed.

We'll give him a roasting.

I've got the feeling
he's ready to cough.

I still say we'd be better
to find Stevie Earle.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

[Dawn] Chris Mattis has
gone has gone missing, sir.

Oh, lovely.

Just what we need.

Did anybody talk to his mother?

When was the last
time you saw him?

Yesterday, we had
a family meeting.

He had been drinking.

Deborah, you don't know that.

No one's gonna be surprised

by the news that Chris drinks.

Where would he go, do you think,

if he wanted to hide for awhile?

He wouldn't.

He'd tell us.

We tried his ex-girlfriend
and a couple of his mates.

Yesterday he was upset
because he still needs money.

Why does he need this
money so badly?

Look, Chris always
needs money badly.

He gets in over his head,

he spends all his money
on businesses.

He owns that club, it's his.

No, no, no, what he owns now
are the debts on the place.

Hi.

I was hoping to talk
to Jacquie Whiting.

She's not at her machine.

No, she's not been in.

I think he daughter's
sick or something.

Thanks.

Maybe I'll go talk
to her at home.

Ugh.

What are you doing here?

If it was any of your business,
I might tell you, Darrell.

It is my business

because it's my club now.

Oh, that's handy.

Now you can answer some
questions about

how you came to own this place.

You don't mind if I call
my solicitor, do you?

Would you happen to know
where Chris Mattis is?

Only he seems to have vanished.

Hi, Janet, it's Darrell Sylvian.

[Janet] Hi, Darrell.

Could you asked Mr. Eddy to
pop down to the Magnolia?

[Janet] He's with a client.

I understand you have some
business dealings with him.

Ta.

We know he owed you money.

Do you know what I think?

I think he'll just turn up.

Then if he doesn't just turn up,

we're gonna be crawling
all over your life, pal.

So you tell that to
your solicitor.

[phone ringing]

[woman mumbling]

Has he shown up?

So what have you got for me?

You know like,

where you might be able
to find Stevie Earle.

Go on.

As I understand it, you
have special funds

for this kind of thing.

Keep talking.

There was this woman
looking for Stevie.

Smart type, well dressed
sort of thing.

Good shoes.

Did he speak to her?

He wasn't here.

She left him a message
to ask him to meet her.

So, how much money are
we talking about?

When did this woman come in?

A few days back it were.

Before I spoke to you!

So you were withholding
information.

If I went through any
of your rooms now

and found a sniff of drugs,

I could have your license off
you before you broke sweat!

So give me all you got before
I start to get impatient!

I was to call her,

let her know where
Stevie said to meet her.

So where is it?

When?

[ominous music]

[Man] Hello?

What the hell do you
think you're doing?!

Move your car back!

Take it right back!

[horn honking]

You're holding up traffic, mate!

[eerie music]

Scare you, did I, Deborah?

Yeah.

Good.

I'm so glad that you
came back, actually.

My dad said that
he saw you and--

What's in the bag?

It's money.

For you.

30 thousand pounds.

All yours.

I met a man on the travels.

He explained to me
what happened.

I could've had you
lot closed down.

Is that why you came back?

Nine years ago he told
me all about that.

You're wondering why
I didn't report it.

I wanted to wait until you
were basking in your success

and then close you down.

Maybe didn't need to

because if you do that to me,

sooner or later you tear
yourselves to ribbons.

[Deborah] So why did
you come here tonight?

I lost my job.

I lost my friends.

I lost my wife.

[laughing]

I lost my face.

I can live with all that.

But I tell you what
I can't live with.

I lost my daughter!

That's what would wake me up
in the middle of the night.

One night, I woke
up and I thought,

how would your family feel
if they lost their daughter?

You lost your daughter.

You know what that feels like.

Why would you want to
do that to anyone else?

Would that make you
feel any better?

You think I don't know that?

You think I didn't realize

that I could never
feel any better?

Do you think any amount of money

would give me back
what I've lost?

Here's what I think
of your money!

[whooshing]

[yelling]

[ominous music]

[Andy] What's the news?

[Peter] He's not dead yet.

[Andy] Is he angry enough
to kill Mattis?

Angry enough but it's not him.

He wanted Richard alive.

Wanted to see him suffer
the way he suffered.

That leaves the Russian
bride to be.

And the missing son.

And the phantom paint stripper.

Sam, I want to talk to your
mother, to tell her if I--

No, he won't want to
see you, not now.

I didn't plan to get pregnant.

I don't want to stay
in that house.

What are you doing here?

This is killing me.

It is too much to bear.

You ask us for sympathy?

Like we are not suffering.

Like we haven't lost him.

Your selfishness.

Your stupid, little selfishness.

Have you any idea how
offensive that is?

I'll take you home.

If you want to help anyone, Sam,

help me help your own family.

Sam?

You could look after
your brother.

He's here.

He's hiding here.

What is he thinking of?

I told him to.

Why?

He's scared for his life.

This thug, Sylvian, is
after him for some money.

You're gonna have to
look after him, please.

[dog barking]

Dawn, I've had him all day.

Mom, I can't come home now.

Because it's just not possible.

I'm right in the middle
of something.

[Audrey] You're always in
the middle of something.

Mom, I've been trying to
find this woman for two days.

I'll be home as early as I can!

It's hell, isn't it?

Trying to juggle kids and a job.

They get ill.

What can you do?

Jacquie, the other
day at the factory,

something was bothering you.

Well, like I said, when
you've got a lot on your mind.

Shannon, could you get me
a drink of water, please?

It's like you're the only one

who's mourning Richard's death.

He meant a lot to
you, didn't he?

I just work there.

Why are you asking me?

I'm not buying this

"I just work there"
stuff anymore, Jacquie.

You were having an affair
with him, weren't you?

I don't you would
call it an affair.

[Dawn] What would you call it?

Sex.

For him.

And for you?

Oh, he treated me really well.

Spoiled me like...

I never had before.

That's lovely.

I enjoyed it.

I never kidded myself it would
go on to be anything else.

Shannon, could you
get me some sugar?

Thank you.

So why are you so jumpy?

Vince.

I never fancied him or anything

but he's always been
asking me out.

So sometimes you just--

So you had a relationship
with him.

When you're down and someone
really, really wants you.

Does Vince know about
you and Richard?

A place like that, you
can't keep secrets for long.

He could see how upset I was

when it ended.

Vince told me you were
outside in the yard with him

having a cigarette.

Was he telling the truth?

He was always so
protective of me.

That's what I really
liked about him.

He wasn't with you, was he?

You don't know where he was.

Because why would he do that?

Why would Vince need
me to lie for him?

[knocking]

Yes, love?

Just tell Superintendent Dalziel

that D.S. Milligan's mother
would like to see him.

I take it you're Spike's mother.

Don't tell us you haven't
got any family.

Since 90 percent of murders
are committed

within the family, I
consider it a form

of self-protection to
remain unencumbered.

I love my daughter.

I'd do anything for her.

And since you can't
afford child minders

for the ridiculous amount
of hours she's working,

I'm happy to pick up the pieces.

But sometimes enough is enough.

Is there a point to all of this?

There's a murder investigation

I'd like to be getting on with.

Yeah, it's this.

You might not have
a life but I do

and me daughter does
or she should have.

You see, she's got a son
and they need to be together

a decent amount of time
before Dawn's too knackered

to do a jigsaw puzzle!

Is that your point?

It is.

Fair enough.

Now can I get back to
my investigation?

Absolutely.

Oh and one more thing.

What's that?

You try it.

Coping with a kid.

Write a confession, I'll
be back in a minute.

Mrs. Milligan!

I was just admiring your shoes.

Do you mind telling me
where you got them?

A present from my boyfriend.

Caught a few shillings, has he?

No, he's got a market store.

These ship at 200 quid a go.

Not exactly what I
call market fodder.

I thought you had a
murder investigation

you were desperate to
be getting on with?

I have,

which is why I'll need your
boyfriend's name and address.

You're kidding me.

I may not be much use
as a human specimen

but I am a half-decent copper

and if someone's knocking off
pricey shoes from that factory

I wanna know about it.

I need a cigarette.

His name's Guy Mayhugh.

But everyone calls him Lou.

How's he do?

[laughing]

The bells! The bells!

[laughing]

I'm so sorry about this, sir.

I don't know what my
mom was thinking of.

You're a detective.

Shouldn't take a lot
of figuring out.

I did call her.

I did explain why I
couldn't come home.

Doesn't seem to have done
the trick, does it Spike?

I was just doing my job, sir.

Exactly.

You could do what I do,

work all the ours under the sun,

put your job before
everything else

or you could have a
life with your lad.

That designer gear your
mother's wearing.

Oh, that?

Yeah, that.

I've sent the uniform lot
around to question her boyfriend

about how he got a hold of
some back order Mattis shoes.

That will put some spice
into their romance.

Looks like she'll be
back to sleepless nights

doing jigsaw puzzles.

She's an insomniac?

Terrible.

There's a lot of it about.

Do you think this scam's
linked to the killing?

It's an outside bet
worth a flutter.

So what did you get from
Jacquie Whiting?

Plenty.

She was having an affair
with Richard Mattis

and she thinks the
foreman, Vince Kilcline,

was obsessed with the
way he dumped her.

Let's have him in then.

I'll get uniform to pick him up.

Why don't you take your
little Tom home.

Yes, sir.

[ominous music]

We'll still have time for
story time, I promise.

[ominous music]

Mommy's just gonna be two
minutes, just stay there.

[locks beeping]

All right.

[suspenseful music]

[tires screeching]

[thudding]

[dramatic music]

I'm so sorry.

[Officer] Come on!

We've got you now!

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

It's okay, Tom.

You listen to me.

You just nearly killed my son.

If it was up to me, I would--

He's all right.

Yeah, tell me he's all right.

He's not smashed to bits

if that's what you
call all right?

I wanna know why you were
so desperate to get away.

We know about your scam
with Guy Mayhugh.

They got the scam.

Getting us, getting me to
scare away Steve Earle.

I know you were lying about

having a cigarette with Jacquie.

Look, I'm smashed up here.

I did it.

All right, I'm telling
you, I did it.

It's pathetic, I know.

Pathetic?

Throwing a bit of paint
stripper over his portrait.

Like that's going to
put the world to right.

That's what you did?

Yeah.

You think?

You're here because Jacquie
thinks I coulda killed him.

Killed Richard?

How could she even think that?

Does she not know me at all?

Vince has been with
us for years.

[Andy] I'm not sure the
loyalty is something

this family should preach
about, Mrs. Mattis.

No.

Marion,

there's two men dead

and now there's two more
in the hospital.

I think it's about time
this family gave up

some of your secrets.

We think you may have an
idea where your son is.

And we think it might
be wise to tell us.

I wish I could tell you.

I wish you could find him.

There's a bottle of single
malt back at my place

needs out urgent attention.

One whisky.

So...

We could discount the foreman.

Steve Earle's not our man.

Which leaves the boy, Chris.

If he's not the next one
found floating in the canal.

Which then leaves Sylvian,

who won't be easy to
get to without a witness

and a decent bit of forensic.

What keeps nagging
away at my brain

is he Russian connection.

The bullet.

Whichever way you look at it,

it has to come back to
the fragrant Natalia.

Am I right?

[snoring]

Is this insomniac's anonymous?

She's not answering me calls.

But then discovering
you're going out

with a police informant is
not exactly sexy, is it?

I'm not convinced it's
sexy being a receiver

of knocked-off goods
either, Audrey.

He was funny and attractive
and generous.

Let's face it, a man who
was interested in me.

I'm sorry.

But if you ever tell your
daughter I said that,

I'll deny all knowledge of
even being here tonight.

What bloody rankles is
I was doing it for her.

I ended up scooping me own life.

I don't know.

You kill yourself for your
kids and where does it get you?

I'm not falling for that one.

You like being needed
by your Dawn,

having your grandson
around here all hours.

Sod it.

If I can hook one fella,
I can get myself another.

Try to get one on the right
side of the law next time.

At least one who knew me
daughter was a copper.

Well,

at least she won't have me
making her life hell much
longer.

Over here, sir.

I thought it best to leave
it where it was found

so we can see it in setting.

Who found it?

One of the service hands.

Pulled out the top row and
it was lying underneath.

Can anyone tell me why this

wasn't found during out search?

Look at the state of this place.

Bag it!

Let's see if it gives
us a print.

Here's the report, sir.

[ominous beat music]

[Andy] We know that
you had several rows

with your husband...

Ex-husband, forgive me,

since he came back from Russia.

And we know you were
at the factory

at the time of the killing.

I didn't kill him.

This is part of the weapon
that killed Mr. Mattis.

[Marion] I didn't do it.

Your fingerprints are on it.

Please.

The only prints on here.

No, no, please.

[Peter] The evidence
is irrefutable, Marion.

There's no easy way to do this.

Just give it up to us.

We rowed about the children.

He was betraying them.

Giving this woman everything.

He didn't want to know.

There was no getting
through to him.

He laughed.

He'd always done that.

I suppose it was all too much.

I hated him then like
I never hated him.

And I don't know,

something just snapped.

Why did you go back
and move the body?

I was in a panic.

I was sort of hoping
he'd still be alive

but when I saw him I
hated him even more.

Hated what his stupid weakness
had done to my family,

everything I had worked for.

I thought, "I can do this."

I wanted to get away with it.

To be rid of him.

Rid of this weak man.

And I could have done
it, I would have done it.

But I heard a noise.

I didn't have enough time.

[ominous music]

Chris?

[Chris] Bring me something
to drink?

The police found something
in the factory.

They've arrested mom.

The wanderer returns.

She can't have killed him.

And why is that, Chris?

She's me mother.

I know the kind of person she is

and she couldn't have
done something like this.

I'm afraid her defense
lawyer's gonna need

a tad more than that
to convince a jury.

Unless you can give us something

that tells a different story.

The fact is, Chris,

you've run out of choices.

I did come to the factory
that night.

Dad wasn't answering me
calls, I needed to see him.

I knew Deborah would be around

so I hit up and wait until
I could get Dad on his own.

But I never did.

How does that help us believe

that your mother
didn't kill him?

Because I saw something.

Dad was lying there, bleeding,

before I could react, Mom came.

And she did this thing,
I don't know why,

she moved Dad's body,
dragging it along.

It was so weird.

I felt ill, I felt sick.

I just ran.

Which means it clears
your mother

without implicating
yourself, doesn't it Chris?

It's true.

Please.

When she came to the club,

what was it she whispered
to you?

She said,

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

[ominous music]

Do you mind if we
have a quick word?

No, that's all right.

[Andy] Who are you
covering up for, Marion?

I killed him.

It's over now.

The trouble is, Marion,

there was no blood
on that handle.

So that means you cleaned it

and it's not possible for the
tool to be in that factory

and not have more prints on it.

I did it.

It's over.

I've had some tests done.

You know what we found
on that handle?

A chemical.

It's over.

A detergent.

One that's not used
in the factory.

It was cleaned outside

then you took it away.

You could've destroyed it
and we might never got close

to thinking you did
this killing.

Then you brought it back

to be found.

Why?

What was cleaned off it?

Who was cleaned off it?

It's over.

No it's not.

Not until I say it is.

Well, we're not gonna
get anywhere tonight.

I wouldn't get any sleep anyway.

I'm going out.

Where are you going?

Anywhere.

Nowhere.

Just walk.

Trying to make sense
of this lot.

[phone ringing]

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]

Peter?

Got some good news.

We got a match on our
Russian friend's DNA.

They're sending us a picture.

[Natalia] Hello?

Who's there?

Andy, remember that
thing she said?

He doesn't even look Russian.

Well that's an odd thing to say
to a man she was married to.

I've got their wedding
photo right in front of me.

What the bloody hell
was she doing

wearing an engagement ring
when she was already married?

We got two dead men.

One was the husband to be

and the other one turns
out to be her husband.

That'll do me.

Yeah but she was at home.

Two men who were involved with
this woman, both facedown,

what does that tell you?

A lover?

But all along the way

this job has had the smell
of the family about it.

And Marion has confessed.

So, it's a lover in the family.

I think she might be
expecting him tonight.

So get over her sharpy.

And bring the calvary with you.

[ominous music]

Well, well.

I should've seen it.

The mother's protecting
the wrong son.

It's time for us to
go now, Natalia.

Go where?

I don't understand, why
do we have to go?

We can't stay here anymore.

How can I go, I can't just
leave and these policemen,

they are asking me things.

I can't leave.

Asking you what?

Sam,

there are things.

They found his body.

Your husband.

How did you know about him?

No one knew, I didn't
even know he was here

until the police showed
me his picture.

Everything's all right.

It's all fixed.

How did you know, Sam?

He came to me.

He'd been watching you so
we knew what was happening.

He was gonna tell my family.

Blackmail us.

I did it for you.

We couldn't let that happen.

I did it for you,
you must listen.

No!

I love you.

Please, let go!

I'll do anything for you.

I did it for us!

Don't do that!

[thudding]

I did it for you.

Natalia, I love you!

[Andy] Natalia was running
away from her abusive marriage

but then she fell in love.

[Marion] That wasn't love.

Not with Richard.

Sam was involved with Natalia.

No.

That's not possible.

When she arrived here,

they fell in love
with each other.

If he'd

rowed with Richard,

if it had got out of control,

it must've been an accident.

Marion, he killed
another man first.

Natalia's husband.

Sam ambushed this man.

He planned it and then
he killed him.

When I found Richard,

I thought it must be Chris.

He was such a troubled lad

and it was my fault.

It must be my fault.

Why would it be your fault?

Because they're my children.

It was my job to protect them.

Of course it is.

I'm their mother.

I have to protect them.

I have to!

[dramatic music]

[beat music]

[Peter] What're you doing here?

Glad I made it.

Wouldn't want to miss
seeing off an old has been.

What's cheered you up?

Thought of giving you a
few more years earache.

How come?

This Best Values Reviews job.

I just thanked them upstairs
for the wonderful opportunity

it presented for an
old hen like me

to air his views in public.

In the press even

about the way that they've
been running things.

I get the impression they
might be reconsidering.

[Jerry] You know what I'll miss?

What?

Sparkling wherever
you work, mate?

Laughing rich and cunty food?

Go on, then.

Surprise us.

Not a sodding thing.

The more I do this job,
the less I know.

At least with your family
you know where you are.

Knackers.

Hey, Spike.

How's your mother?

Single.

Blaming you?

She'll come around.

She'll have to.

I can't afford the
child minders.

Natalia wants to go
back to Russia.

Who can blame her?

Who knows what she'll
tell the kid.

She might just say that
it's her husbands.
