You have been selected
to be our new sergeant.

- I can't.
- What I'm going to do is

offer it to Rachel.

It's a woman! Scary
Mary just unravelled it.

You're joking.

I'm going to be sergeant here.

Could a body that had
been killed a long time ago

and then frozen look like that?

Are you saying you think
you know who this is?

- Mitch just told me.
- What?

You think it might be Mandy
sweeting. My dad worked on that case.

I can confirm that we have found

and identified,
using dental records,

the body of Mandy sweeting.

Mrs sweeting went missing
from the rochdale area in 1991.

If you knew Mandy or
have any information...

Why did she get the job?

Because she's good.

So are you. Why isn't it you?

It's a long story.

Well, tell it quickly, then.

I've got to go.

Have you done something wrong?

- No.
- What, then?

You can't leave me in this
state of worry and agitation!

Well, I'm going to have
to, because I've got to go.

There's nothing to worry about.

I always knew Gill
preferred Rachel.

Gill offered it to
me. I turned it down.

I'm not quite ready
yet. I will be one day.

Rachel doesn't know anything
about that, okay? Ta-ra.

Oh, uh, they've
taken the recycling.

Good.

What do you mean,
you're not ready?

- Bye!
- Bye, love!

- Good morning!
- All: Good morning.

Gill: Weekly review,
here we come.

We'll kick off with
Mandy sweeting.

Reviewing lines of inquiry,

looking for opportunities
to gain new evidence.

Mitch is acting
as exhibits officer

and he has the
post-mortem findings.

Cause of death was a
stab wound in the chest.

The blade punctured the heart.

There would have
been profuse blood loss.

We recovered Mandy's body
from a flooded quarry in audenshaw

10 days ago

and it appears to have been
submerged for a maximum of eight weeks.

The pathologist's view is
that the body had been frozen.

Possibly from soon after
her death, 23 years ago,

until being dumped in
the water a few weeks ago.

The wrapping
supports that theory.

The first layer, next to
the body, is a piece of cloth.

Looks very old, is
heavily blood-stained

suggesting it is the
original wrapping.

The outer layer's a
shower curtain, a new one.

It had been wrapped
around the inner layer

and secured and
weighted with chains.

But I just want to jump back
to the post-mortem for a sec.

The two findings that
really stand out are

the legs have been
broken, post-mortem,

suggesting that the body had
been stored in a confined space,

and Mandy sweeting was pregnant.

DNA tests show that her
husband was not the father.

Tracing the father
of that unborn child

is obviously a
major line of inquiry.

Any thoughts so far?

I'm thinking frozen plus
confined could be a chest freezer.

How could you keep
a body in a freezer

for that length of
time undetected?

If it's a domestic freezer,
you're in control of who goes in it.

I used to have a fridge-freezer
in the shed, just for fishing.

No one ever went near it but me.

There's a lover. We know that.

There's a killer. We know that.

There's a freezer, as in someone

who stored the
body in the freezer,

and there is a dumper.

That could be several
different people.

Well, the dumper
couldn't be the husband,

'cause he died five years ago.

He still could've been
the killer and the freezer.

How pregnant was she?

Uh, roughly 28 days.

Four weeks.

And what was the marriage like?

We're going to be jumping
back and forth, we just are,

so let's hear about lifestyle.

- Do you want background?
- Yeah.

Amanda sweeting, 32 years
old, known to everyone as Mandy,

left work on Tuesday,
August the 27th, 1991,

the day after the public
holiday on Monday.

She worked at c&A in
rochdale, long since gone,

used to be in the
precinct in the town centre.

She was last seen by
colleagues leaving work,

presumed to be going
home, also long since gone.

The whole street's been
redeveloped. She never got home.

Her husband Gary reported
her missing the following day.

Mandy had two children,
aged eight and six

at the time, sinead and Rory.

She was, by all
accounts, devoted to them.

The fact that she
disappeared into thin air,

coupled with the
fact that she was

very pretty and
distinctive-looking

with red hair and this
gap between her teeth,

was just catnip to
the local papers.

Her husband Gary was arrested

three weeks after she went
missing on suspicion of murder.

Never came to court.
Insufficient evidence.

As Rachel said, Gary
died five years ago.

The review team
picked it up three times,

but with no body or forensic
evidence to get the benefit

out of improved technology,
the case was refiled.

Gary is survived by his mother,
Barbara, and his brother, Antony.

They've both been notified about

the reinvestigation,
which was...

Well, it... it was delicate.

Now, at the time,
you'll be aware,

we investigated Gary
as possibly having

been involved in
Mandy's disappearance.

I will be aware,
yes. Well aware.

I'm sorry. I could have
phrased that better.

And would you be
aware that it ruined his life,

being suspected
of killing his wife?

It must have been
extremely hard.

By everyone?

I'm not just talking about you
lot, I'm talking about everyone.

And what grounds did they
have to suspect him on? None.

He might as well
have gone to prison,

because he was guilty
in the eyes of the world.

Because we've
recovered Mandy's body,

we've got evidence that
we didn't have before.

It might be that what we find
out will prove Gary's innocence.

Too bloody late, he's dead!

It's hard to convey just
how distressing this still is.

Mrs sweeting, this will be

a completely new investigation.

It'll be headed by a new
senior investigating officer,

who will work on it with
a completely open mind.

What if I say you can't?

The fact is it's
a police matter.

We're obliged to
reopen the case.

It's too much.

What grounds did we
have to suspect him on?

Neighbours reported hearing
arguments between Gary and Mandy

in the weeks leading
up to her disappearance,

so the inference was
the marriage was rocky.

They had no grounds
to suspect him on

other than they suspected him.

This original
investigation is just

unbelievably shallow, shoddy...

I mean, it's one of
the most depressing

things I've ever
read in my life.

They only ever looked at Gary
sweeting. They put him in the middle

and they arranged all the
lines of inquiry to lead to him

and they still didn't get him!

And they never considered
other lovers, which is just...

[Scoffs] I don't know.
Words fail me. It's just shit.

It's easy to be clever in
hindsight, though, Rachel, isn't it?

I mean, they didn't have a
body with a fatal stab wound

that was pregnant with
a baby that wasn't Gary's.

I mean, they just didn't have
the resources we have now.

No, this isn't a failure of
resources, this is a failure of thinking.

[Scoffs]

It isn't in the policy book that
they even considered the possibility

that Mandy had a lover.

Right. I have to say,
I'm not happy about this.

My dad worked on that
original investigation.

Well, this isn't personal.

[Scoffs] Right.

Okay, let's see what we can
find out about what went on

in the original
investigation. Rachel?

- Sure.
- Gill: Dig a bit deeper.

What about these colleagues
who last saw Mandy?

We've managed to track
down a couple of them

and one of them
told us about a lad

who he says was
"obsessed with Mandy".

He's called Mick devlin.

He's coming in tomorrow.

Right. How did the
body get to the quarry?

There's no cctv at the quarry,

but thinking
about the logistics,

Mandy was 5'3" and petite,

so one fairly strong person
could've got her in a vehicle

and slid her into the water,
weights and all, without help.

We don't think you'd need a Van

or a big car,
because she's small.

The way she was bundled quite
rigidly, you couldn't fold that bundle.

You'd probably have
to put the seats down.

So we've potentially got forensic
opportunities in this vehicle,

in this freezer,

and in the place where the body
was removed from the freezer

and given its recent layer of
wrapping, which is likely to be

close to the freezer,
'cause you'd be

paranoid about
spreading evidence.

If you're going
to the trouble of

shifting the body,
would you hold onto

a potentially
incriminating freezer?

I'd dump it.

A bit risky, getting a bloody
big white thing out in public.

We spoke to the council. They'll come
and remove your old freezer for you.

You'll go on their
system as a collection,

but once they've taken it away,

it gets piled onto
a freezer mountain.

Pete: Disappears.

If you fly-tip, doesn't
involve anyone.

- Unless you get caught.
- Yeah.

If you fly-tip a freezer,
you do need a Van.

Someone to help
you lift it, as well.

Well, I think a practical person

could shift a chest
freezer on their own.

Get a ramp up to a Van,
get some ropes round it...

The wrapping of the
body was competent.

If the dumper is the same
person as the freezer,

then they've had
years to plan how to

shift the evidence
if they need to.

Whoever dumped
the body is our way in.

I want to exploit the forensic
opportunities of recent events

and concentrate on hearts
and minds for the past events.

Allegiances and
attitudes change.

We need to do a lot of
talking, a lot of probing.

I think it's our best way
of getting circumstantial.

What's the policy on the
information that she was pregnant?

We tell no one.
Witnesses, relatives, press...

If and when we get a suspect,
that's massive leverage.

- Same goes for cause of death?
- Gill: Yeah.

'Cause as soon as
we release the fact

that she was
stabbed in the heart,

it'll be like, "ooh! Crime of
passion. Jealous hubby. Job done."

Which it could be.

It could be. It could
be the milkman.

We're looking for lovers.
Spread the net wider.

Let's identify persons of
interest and anpr their cars.

Have any of them
been near that quarry?

When you're in a witness's home,

look out for where
a freezer might be

or may have been.
And check the council

for freezer collections as well.

- Cross-county?
- Gill: Yeah.

We need to be clever.
Twenty-three years ago is a long time.

People remember the version
of events they've told before

but we need to get
them to look at things

like they're looking at
them for the first time.

Frankie: [On recording]
This interview is taking place

on Thursday, the 20th
of September, 1991,

at rochdale police station.

In the room are myself, detective
sergeant Frankie waddington.

David Blake: David
Blake, solicitor.

Gary: [Softly] Gary sweeting.

Frankie: Can't hear you, Gary.

Gary sweeting.

Frankie: Thank you, Gary.

Do you want to tell us
about what you did to Mandy?

Gary: I didn't do
anything to Mandy.

Frankie: Yes, you did.

Frankie: You killed
her, didn't you?

Gary: I didn't.

Frankie: I think you did
and I'm not the only one!

Where did you put the
body? Did you Bury it?

Gary: How many times do I
have to tell you? I did not kill her.

Frankie: Where is she,
then? Where's Mandy?

Gary: I don't know!
Frankie: I think you do.

Gary: I think summat
bad's happened.

Frankie: I do and all.

Gary: She wouldn't run
away, that's all I know.

She'd never leave the kids.

Frankie: She'd never
run away? Gary: No.

Frankie: Then
where the hell is she?

You said it yourself,
she wouldn't run away!

You were angry
with her, weren't you?

You'd been rowing
with her, hadn't you?

- Gary: No.
- You got angry and you killed her.

-[Recording stops] -It's
all like that. No structure,

no plan b, your dad just
accuses, sweeting just denies.

Where was the sio?
Did he not listen to that?

Oh, he did. He signed off on it.

Detective superintendent
John peverley.

He's dead.

What did he die of? Shame?

Booze.

Shall we see if we can
have a word with your dad?

- He's a good copper.
- [Scoffs]

- Hey.
- [Scoffs softly]

And say what? "Why
were you so shit?"

Ask him what went wrong.

[Sighs]

Rachel: Gary sweeting insisted
that Mandy wouldn't just leave.

Because of the kids?

Yeah. He couldn't explain

where she was
but he insisted that

her doing a bunk was impossible,

which isn't something
a guilty man would do.

A man who'd killed his wife
would encourage the idea

that she'd run away, to
get everyone off his back.

Yes, which is something that
you get in two seconds flat,

which shit-for-brains
Frankie waddington

thought was proof that
sweeting had done it!

Uh, Mitch, it's thick.

Have you said that to Rob?

Not yet.

But he shouldn't
still be here anyway,

breathing down
my neck. It's a pain.

- See you.
- See you.

It's mellowed her, I
think, being sergeant.

How clearly can you
remember your mum, sinead?

Very clearly. I remember
details about her.

Her hands... [sighs]

What were her hands like?

Freckly. [Chuckles]

What else do you remember?

She was very loving with
us. A very loving person.

Janine: We've all taken it
different. Personally, I'm glad I know.

It destroys me to think what
my sister suffered, but I think,

"right. Now we
know. Let's have it.

"Let's do her justice."

That's what we intend to do.

I think my dad was jealous.

In what way?

Well, when you're a kid, you don't
think of your mum and dad as sexual,

they're just your
mum and dad, but...

I've got a kid now and I
can see it from the other side.

I think I can have a guess at
how they worked as a couple

and I think there was
maybe some jealousy there.

- From your dad?
- Yeah.

Was he jealous of someone
in particular, do you think?

I think he was maybe
jealous of her job.

She loved going to work.

What did she love about it?

Gets you out.

She'd been home with
them since they were babies,

so it were summat new for her.

She liked it in the shop.
She liked the people.

I just took it at face
value, you know?

"Mum's got a friend at work
that gives her chocolate.

"That's nice. Why would
dad be cross about that?"

Do you know who this friend was?

The only one I knew
from her work was Mick.

He'd sometimes give her a lift.

She'd walk us to school.
He'd sometimes be in his car.

Everyone thought Gary
got lucky with Mandy,

Gary included.

He were a nice
enough fella, but dull.

She loved him.

What other relationships
had Mandy had?

Not many. And whoever it
were, it were always "the one".

But our Mandy were a
romantic. A one-man gal.

She wouldn't have played away.

[Sighs] I'm sat there thinking,

"you know she
wouldn't play away.

"I know she was carrying
another man's child."

So sad, the impact of it. It's
eaten them all from the inside.

Rita from the press
office wants you.

Just about to ring her now.

No, she's waiting.

What's wrong with ringing her?

She wants to discuss
a new press statement.

[Sighs] Right, tell
her I'm on my way.

Mandy sweeting's still
bloody catnip to the press.

They want something
new every day.

It's a bloody minefield of
what you can and can't say.

I want a boyfriend.

Do you?

Yeah.

Well, Mick's sounding more
and more interesting, isn't he?

Yeah. He'll be here
in a few minutes.

So will Frankie waddington.
And guess who won't be going

- anywhere near him?
- Rob?

- You.
- Why?

Because you'll go on the attack.

Sergeants don't just manage
down, you know, Rachel.

You manage sideways and up.

You look after your
peer relationships.

You look after Rob.
What's that for?

Tired eyes.

Just your eyes?
You must be slacking.

Cps rang, saying,

"where's the disclosure
schedule for Jackie boy?"

- I don't know.
- Well, you need to know.

It's due in.

Argh!

The disclosure schedule
for Jackie boy's due in.

- I know.
- So where is it?

Lee's got it. You'll have to
check it all and countersign it.

Bloody hell! You
could've reminded me.

Yeah, well, you could've asked.

That's why i'm
shadowing you, Rachel.

So you can check in with me
on anything you're not sure about

and get feedback on
what you're doing. Ask.

- Hiya.
- Hello, son.

This is Rachel.
Rachel, this is my dad.

Rachel. Lovely.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Frankie.

Excuse me.

- Fancy a brew?
- Aye.

- How are you?
- Good.

Chris: Mick, what was the nature

of your relationship with Mandy?

She gracefully
accepted my worship.

She didn't reciprocate?

I was a 19-year-old,
acne-ridden streak of piss.

Me Adam's apple were
bigger than me head!

I was not a suitable
candidate for worship.

Were you friends?

She made me feel like we were.

She was kind.

She understood that if
someone's in love with you,

you have a responsibility
towards them.

You were in love with her?

There's all sorts
of being in love.

So what sort was this sort?

I didn't want to
have sex with her.

I wanted to be her.

You weren't lovers?

No, love.

Mick, did Mandy
ever confide in you?

Not really.

Did she ever speak to
you about her marriage?

Well, I read between the lines.

Meaning?

"Mandy was wearing
her hair in a ponytail today

"and more perfume than usual.

"A night of passion with
mr sweeting, methinks."

Sorry, what was that?

A quote.

From?

Pete: What she was wearing,
what mood she was in,

what they talked about
in the car. He was fixated.

The police never
spoke to him at the time.

Did he consider
showing them that?

Too embarrassed.

It's got in how often he
masturbates, where he masturbates,

what he's thinking about when...

What is he thinking about?

Boys sometimes, girls sometimes.

Is he thinking about Mandy?

Just twice. When he
handed it to us, he was like,

"look, I wrote this when
I was 19. I was clueless."

Why's he handed it over now?

In case it helps.
He needn't have.

No one knows it exists,
so it's hard to think

that he'd have given it
to us if he'd killed her.

Unless it was a double bluff,
but it'd be risky to do that.

Pete: The diary's weird.

Well, keeping a diary is unusual

for a teenage lad,
but I don't think

what he expresses
in it particularly is.

Does it say where
she goes on her lunch?

That's her only
unsupervised time.

If she was having an affair,
she'd use her lunch hour.

Scour the diary for Mandy's
movements. Is she late ever?

Days she's made a special
effort with her appearance.

Why did he only ever pick
her up from the school?

Mandy told him Gary wouldn't
like him fetching her from the house.

What was Gary
sweeting's widow saying?

Sandra? Uh, not his
widow, technically.

They were never married.

Gary wouldn't annul
his marriage to Mandy

and he refused to
declare her dead.

Which could be the action of

an innocent man or
a guilty, clever one.

I think it's interesting.

Well, he was no
criminal mastermind.

Anyone that listens to his
interview tapes will tell you that.

Gill: We're coming
to that. Carry on.

Sandra said that although she
was able to help Gary practically,

bringing up sinead and Rory,

she described him as
"emotionally unhelpable".

He was a depressive, he
drank. He basically brought about

his own early death because
he had nothing to live for.

She said that he never
recovered from the trauma

of losing Mandy
and being a suspect.

Gary's brother Antony also
described Gary as self-destructive.

He said, with hindsight,

he wondered if Gary had
been "haunted by something".

As in what? Guilt?

That was the inference.

Well, that's interesting because we
had a chat with Frankie waddington.

Gill: Ooh! What's the
latest with the freezers?

Rachel: Five freezers reported

fly-tipped over the
last three months,

according to west Yorks,
lancs, greater Manchester

and rochdale councils. I
think we should bring them in.

- Yeah. Where?
- Garage space.

- They sold it off.
- Rachel: Well,

we wouldn't have to
house them for long,

so bring them all
in under one roof,

strip 'em, search 'em
under controlled conditions.

We could hire
somewhere, short let.

It better be cheap.

What did Frankie waddington say?

We discussed the apparent
shortcomings of the original investigation.

Don't need to bore you
with all the ins and outs of it.

Thank you.

What did you think?

I didn't have a problem with it.

You didn't think the
interview was one-tracked?

Of course it was.
That was the track.

Sweeting was our prime suspect.

Our aim was to put pressure
on him, which we did.

The cps shafted us
with insufficient evidence.

That was a sound
investigation. We knew who did it.

You listen to any tape from
1991, it'll sound like that.

That's how the job was
done, as you very well know.

Oh, I do, and I also know exactly
how much stick the officers got

who didn't toe the line,
'cause I was one of them.

You weren't on that job. You
weren't in that room with that man.

You never met
him. He was a liar!

I've interviewed hundreds of
people. I know when someone's lying.

I don't appreciate being given
the third degree by a plastic.

I've been just as
operational as you,

I just haven't got
my head up my arse.

Don't tell me you don't
think the job's gone soft.

No, I think it's gone thorough.

Bollocks!

I've listened to
what he's up against.

Barmpot ideas he's got to get
'round so he can get the job done.

[Stammers] That's
not... I never...

Look at him, wriggling about,

trying to think
what's acceptable.

That's what this job has become.

Making the right sounds.

Frankie was very forthcoming.

Anyway, point
is, in his opinion...

Gary was punching above
his weight with Mandy.

He got paranoid
and he killed her.

Gary sweeting couldn't
lie straight in his bed,

but the whole family was at it!

The mother was a harridan

and I always thought
the brother was a phoney.

Antony?

Yeah. Did you just talk
to him with the mother?

So far, yeah.

Try him on his own.

Antony's not returning
any of my calls,

maybe Frankie waddington
was on to something.

Frankie waddington calling
someone else a phoney is rich!

It's a lead.

From a dinosaur!

Mmm, right, if I
needed to hire a Van

to move a freezer
which I'd kept a body in,

I wouldn't go to some
big Van-hire company,

where it's all
computerised and official,

I'd go to the most tin-pot
little outfit I could find.

Man with a Van.

Mmm, but without the man.

[Yawning] Oh,
god, I am shattered.

I mean, I get to sleep
and then I wake up

thinking about the 101
ridiculous things that I've got to do,

like which car's got to go
to openshaw for a service.

Can Pete have next
Tuesday week off

to scatter some
bugger or other's ashes?

Just... it never stops.

I'm not trying to put
you off, by the way,

'cause you would do all
that standing on your head.

So when are they going to
tell you where you're going?

It's got to be soon, hasn't it?

Actually, not necessarily.

What do you mean?

Well, Elise has moved in with
Ade and Eleanor goodhead.

- When?
- Sunday.

How is that? How is that?

Hard.

Yeah, so it's all taking a bit of
adjustment at Scott mansions,

so I've decided to put
the sergeant thing on hold.

Is that why you
want a boyfriend?

No, I want a boyfriend
because I want a boyfriend,

but it's not very easy
to find a boyfriend

because all of the
potential boyfriends

who are tentatively
sniffing around me

on the various dating websites

that I'm currently
experimenting with

are either very old...

- Walking sticks?
- Carpet slippers, watches on chains.

Or what? Very old or what?

Well, erm... [clears throat]

A couple of them, two, have been

very young.

How young?

Weird young.

[Chuckling] Like I'm a fetish.

Janet!

You're doing fine
in the job, rach.

More than fine.

Will you tell Godzilla that?

'Cause she's sucking a lemon
every time she looks at me

and I...

I just want to say, "I'm sorry
that I'm such a disappointment..."

- [Mobile ringing]
- "...But you chose me."

Every time I bitch
about her, she rings.

Hello?

[Indistinct whispering]

Tell her.

DNA results from the foetus
have just come back from the lab.

- We've got a match.
- Who?

Antony.

- Bloody hell.
- Gill: I know.

- We can't arrest him.
- No.

Impregnating your brother's
wife is not yet a criminal offence,

but we can talk to him

and we can go to the magistrate
and ask for a pace warrant

so we can search his house.

We'll need to be specific.

They won't let us just
go on a fishing trip.

We can explain about
Mandy's body being frozen,

that we're looking for
evidence to do with that.

Exactly. Mitch?

Certainly.

Antony's not
returning Janet's calls.

Let's knock on his door, then.

Thank you for giving us
more of your time, mr sweeting.

I'm detective
constable Janet Scott.

I met you 10 days
ago with your mother.

I remember.

If your dad would have said he
thought Antony was iffy 23 years ago,

that would have been
helpful, wouldn't it?

Back off.

Why's Gill protecting him?

She's not.

She just knows how to behave.

You're not behaving
like a sergeant, Rachel.

You've not got the first idea.

Janet: Now, I know that
you've spoken to my colleague,

detective constable
Lee broadhurst.

DC broadhurst was
under the impression

that you felt,
reluctantly, looking back,

that Gary, in the years
following Mandy's disappearance,

- was a haunted man.
- Mmm.

I just wanted to ask you
to say a bit more about that.

[Chuckles] What am
I supposed to say?

Can you explain what
you mean by "haunted"?

Isn't it obvious?

I can take a guess, but you'd
have to tell me if it's a good one.

Did you mean that
you thought that

Gary might have
been haunted by guilt?

That's a very hard thing
to say about your brother.

I appreciate that.

It's not something
I'm prepared to say.

Just something I
want you to think.

Fine. I understand.

The post-mortem that was
carried out on Mandy's body

found that she was pregnant.

We tested the DNA of the foetus

and the results indicate
that you're the father.

No, that is not possible.

Do you remember that we
took a buccal swab from you?

That's what we tested
against the baby's DNA.

The result's conclusive.
It is your child.

This is a source of
great shame to me.

What is?

There was a one-night stand.

Don't you love it? The
grammar of the guilty.

"Mistakes were made."
"An infidelity occurred."

"I'm not in the
sentence, you'll notice.

"I was just a
helpless bystander."

Shh!

Janet: You and Mandy
had a one-night stand?

Yes.

When was that?

How pregnant was she?

Oh, don't even try it.

I don't know, I
haven't been told.

- [Sobbing] God.
- Are you okay, Antony?

Yes, it's just...

I could have had a child.

I don't have children.

And, er, turns
out there was one.

Is it just me or is
that a weird reaction?

Like, weird.

When was the
one-night stand, Antony?

I can't remember, I'm sorry.

Well, it can easily
slip your mind,

the night you shagged
your brother's wife.

Janet: No idea at all?

June, possibly.

Sometime in June?

Three months before
she went missing.

I can't remember, sorry.

Don't worry, it was
a long time ago.

Yes.

Tell me about the
one-night stand.

It was the same as
all one-night stands.

We were drunk, it was senseless

and the second it
was done, I felt sick.

Where did you have sex?

On their living room floor.

We'd all been drinking.
Gary had gone to bed.

I don't think she was as
squeaky-clean as she made out.

I... I don't think I
was the only one.

She loved male attention.

I know there was a young lad
at work she was stringing along.

Uh... Mick.

Antony had to pick a date
and hope that he'd get lucky.

He didn't.

We reckon we can trace
a pattern in Mick's diary.

From February onwards, Mandy's
really starting to catch his eye.

Maybe because she's
catching Antony's eye,

as in giving off something

that Mick picks up on, possibly.

And she starts to get a
bit flaky with timekeeping.

March onwards, some
lunch breaks she is late back.

Mick covers for her a couple
of times, makes excuses for her.

Takes shorter breaks.

So working on the assumption
that Antony was the lover...

He's looking good
for the freezer as well.

His garage floor's freshly
painted and there's this socket.

That tells you
that something was

plugged in over a
long period of time.

Doesn't tell you when,
or that it was a freezer.

He's found out she's pregnant,

he doesn't want the
bother. He's killed her.

I think he was genuinely
surprised she was pregnant.

Yeah, I agree, but
that makes sense, too.

Because if he suspected she
was pregnant with his baby,

he'd have thought twice
about dumping that body,

because it incriminates
him so conclusively.

Brilliant. We're
now doing exactly

what the first
investigation did.

The only progress we've made is

we've substituted
a fixation on Gary

with a fixation on Antony.

We're nowhere nearer
to knowing who killed her.

The only provable fact
we have about Antony

is he had sex with Mandy,
possibly more than once.

Come on. Keep your minds open.

Keep digging.

I just had a look at
your last action review

and the only actions you're
allocating are those around Antony.

You've done nothing about Mick.

It's not enough to
read through his diary.

Get an analyst to look
at it. Was he stalking her?

Go through the witness
statements from the previous inquiry.

See how Mandy's behaviour
compares to Mick's account.

What witness statements?

I mean, they were virtually
none, as I keep trying to tell you.

And you keep refusing to listen.

Your dad's
investigation was a joke.

I think we need to
get Mick in again.

Are you telling me?

I'm advising you.

Well, I don't have to take it from
you, because we're an equal rank.

We swabbed the outsides
before they were transported.

They were that dirty, I can't
see us getting much off 'em.

At least the insides
won't be contaminated.

Maya, look at this.

Got that. Okay,
brilliant. Thanks, ta-ta.

- Where have you been?
- Press office. Again.

Do you want the good
news or the bad news first?

Bad, always. It relaxes me.

- It's pig's blood.
- Eh?

In that freezer.
Someone must have had

a bloody great
lump of pork in there.

So that was all a lovely
waste of time all morning.

Shit.

But Antony sweeting hired a Van

off a bloke in milnrow
eight weeks ago.

Self-drive. Can we find out
where he drove it, please?

This afternoon, we managed to
anpr that Van during those hours

and we've got a sighting of it

being driven between
Antony's house

and a known fly-tipping spot
10 miles away in whitworth.

They had storms a few weeks
ago, up near Antony's house.

Did they lose power?

Maybe that's why now.

- [Mobile buzzing]
- It's the lab.

Detective sergeant
Rachel Bailey.

That sighting of the Van
was at 1:00 in the morning

and when we've cross-checked it,

it turns out that one of the
freezers we rounded up and housed

was dumped at that
same fly-tipping spot,

so it's looking like we can
possibly put Antony to that freezer.

They've stripped it
all out to run tests on it.

If it turns out we can put...

Rachel and Gill: Mandy
sweeting's blood...

DNA deep in the
body of that freezer.

It had seeped through into
the insides, workings, whatever.

Fabulous! Wonderful! Hallelujah!

First thing tomorrow
we'll be arresting

Antony sweeting on
suspicion of murder.

Could you draw up an
interview strategy, please, Janet?

Certainly.

Traffic cameras also captured
your own car in the vicinity

of the flooded quarry in audenshaw
where Mandy's body was dumped.

Two days before
you drove the hire Van

to whitworth to
fly-tip the freezer.

We're currently
searching your car.

Is there anything that
you'd like to tell me, Antony?

Gary killed Mandy.

Because she told him she'd
slept with me that one time.

God knows what
possessed her to tell him.

She wanted to goad him, maybe.

Gary flew into a jealous
rage and he killed her.

The first thing I knew about it

was when he rang and
he said, "I've killed Mandy."

And he told me I
was in it up to my eyes

because I'd slept with her,

which is why she'd
ended up dead,

which is why I had to help him.

I thought, "enough
harm's been done here."

So I agreed to go over
there and get the body away.

Janet: Go over where?

To Gary's house.

Are you saying that Gary
murdered Mandy at their home?

Yes.

Janet: Can you tell me
what happened next?

When you went round to
take Mandy's body away?

Cock and bull, the lot of it.

Yep, and 72 hours tops before
we either charge him or let him go.

Mandy told Gary that
she slept with Antony.

No, if Gary knew that

he'd have told the police
after she went missing.

- Unless Gary did kill Mandy.
- He didn't.

He's reinvented the
personalities of two people

who can't contradict
him because they're dead.

He made out that Gary
had a violent temper

when no one else
has mentioned it

and he's got Mandy down
as a spiteful temptress

when all we've heard across
the board is that she was lovely.

Well, he's had to reinvent them

because he wants to blame 'em.

And he might get away with it.

He's only admitted what
evidence has forced him to.

And he knows we've got
nothing on him for murder.

How's the online dating going?

This week I am mostly
attracting widowers.

[Chuckles]

Rachel: Gary killed
Mandy in their house?

- No.
- Kids about.

Neighbours that heard
rowing through the walls

are hardly going to
miss a fatal stabbing.

Antony drove over and
took the body away unseen.

- A bleeding body.
- From a terraced house?

- With nosy neighbours.
- No.

We took that house apart
at the time, found nothing.

Mmm. And he knows
it's been bulldozed since.

Rachel Bailey, j'accuse.

You've not paid anything to
the biscuit fund since Christmas.

[Muffled] Don't even
like 'em. I like chocolate.

This is a stress biscuit.

Give me some of your
sergeant's wages, now.

Csis have just gone into Antony's
house. They're taking it apart.

Fingers crossed
we get the results

before we have to release him.

When our forensic team lifted
the floor paint and the wall paint

from the far end of your
garage, layers and layers of it,

they found traces of Mandy's
blood across a wide area.

And the patterning
is consistent with

the profuse blood
loss you'd expect

from the type of stab
wound that killed Mandy.

You told me yesterday that
Gary killed Mandy at their house.

Is there anything else that
you'd like to tell me, Antony?

He killed her at my house.

Why didn't you tell
me that yesterday?

I thought you'd
think I'd done it.

Never crossed our minds.

I just want to
tell the truth now.

I want to get the
whole thing out,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Okay.

Story time with Antony.

Antony: After the
one-night stand,

Mandy became obsessed with me.

She wanted more.

And like I said, for
me, it was a one-off.

It was a stupid mistake.

I told her I wasn't interested.

I told her she should come to
her senses and stick with Gary.

[Sighs] I felt bad for him.

But she would not let it drop.

On the day it happened,
she turns up at my house.

Says she wants to be with
me. She wants to tell Gary.

I'd had enough.

So I phoned Gary and I said,
"you'd better come and get your wife."

He says, "what's
going on?" And I said,

"you'd better ask her
when you get here."

So, he drove over, and...

I left them to it

and I went into the kitchen.

I could hear them talking.

And then I heard her scream.

And I ran into the garage.

And Gary was standing there
with a big knife in his hand

and Mandy was
lying in a pool of blood

and there was
blood all on the wall.

And I said, "Gary,
what have you done?"

And he said,

"I've killed Mandy."

And he said,

"she told me she loved you."

He was beside himself.

So I wrapped her up so
he didn't have to look at her.

And he suggested we
put her in the freezer.

And we made a pact.

I would never tell
that he killed her.

And he would never
tell where the body was.

I put baskets of
frozen food over it.

You couldn't tell. I kept
meaning to deal with it.

And then...

Gary died.

And I just...

Carried on.

And the freezer, it kept
going until there was that storm

a couple of months back.

The power was down.

It started to thaw.

So I dumped it.

It was terrible.

It was terrible.

Would you like to
take a break, Antony?

No.

Thank you for
going through that.

Not easy.

Um, a couple of things.

The analysed blood samples
taken from your garage

were mixed.

Mandy's blood was
mixed with yours.

Mixing can only happen
when both sets of blood are wet.

I helped move her.

Well, why were you bleeding?

- I must have cut myself.
- How?

I took the knife off Gary.

When you stab
someone in the chest,

you can hit bone.

The... the knife stops,

but your hand keeps going.

You cut yourself.

There was no
trace of Gary's blood

mixed with Mandy's but yours is.

Can you explain that?

No.

Can you explain why Gary was
talking to Mandy in your garage?

That's where they were.

Was Mandy in your
garage when Gary arrived?

She must have been.

Had you been talking
to Mandy in your garage

before Gary arrived?

I can't remember.

It's an unusual place
to have a conversation,

a difficult discussion,
in fact, the garage.

I think I might have
invited my brother

into the living room
or the kitchen...

[Shouting]

Sit down!

Charge him.

Hey. Nailed your first
murder, sergeant rach.

No, I didn't. You cracked him.

But you got the evidence
that meant I could.

Hey, he'll never change
his story, that one.

The defence will dirty
Mandy's name in court.

Her family will have to
listen to it, read about it.

And his family will have
to soak up a pack of lies

about Gary all over again,

because it's Antony's
version of Gary.

Makes me sick.

What about the mum?

What about her?

Well, she's the one who
knows both brothers inside out.

You should talk to her again.

- You should.
- Why?

She took agin me.

Well, you have been getting up

a lot of peoples noses
recently, Janet Scott.

I may have to discuss that
with you at your appraisal.

Thought you'd try
your luck with Antony?

Rachel: We've charged
Antony because we've built up

a very strong evidential
case against him.

Oh, my eye.

Mrs sweeting,

did you know that Mandy was
pregnant with Antony's child?

No.

She was.

Did Gary know?

We don't know.

How do you know Antony did it?

It's grim.

It involves blood.

[Sighing]

He always wanted
everything Gary had.

He'd take a biscuit
off him, take a bite,

throw it to the floor.

I always thought if
Gary had killed her, if,

that maybe he'd done
it because he was so...

Full of feeling.

But Antony did.

'Cause he's not.

[Sighs deeply]

Mrs sweeting, this is a
hard thing to be asked.

And you don't have to
answer now, just think about it.

Would you be prepared to
say what you just said to me

in the form of a statement?

Yes.

Thank you.

Can I give you a
bit of feedback?

Yeah.

You got lucky.

- I was right.
- And you got lucky.

Just accept help, Rachel.

Because you don't know
what you're doing yet.

I've been a sergeant
for two years

and I learn something
new every day.

And don't invent battles.

I'm not me dad. I didn't
cock up. Me dad did.

And I accept that, he did.

There's no point
raging about it.

We've just got to get
on with it and do it better.

[Sighing] Gary sweeting
might still be alive

if justice had have been done.

So I think it's worth raging
about things if they're wrong.

Well, there's ways of doing it.

[Chuckles] And you need
to get the hang of that.

Knob-head.

What?

[Indistinct laughter]

So it's goodbye and
good luck to the lovely Rob.

All: Aw... Gill: What a shame.

Did I ever tell you when you
smile it's like the sun coming out?

Er, no.

That's because
I'm so professional.

Rachel Bailey of the old Bailey

will be full-bloom
sergeant as of now.

- Gill: Hello and good luck.
- Cheers.

And the other bit
of good news is...

I'm retiring.

Four months and counting.

Cheers.

Ian: Cheers.

All: Cheers.

We are dealing with
a potential hate crime.

Did you check the messages
I gave you this morning?

I haven't had a chance. Could
you not have mentioned it earlier?

I'm not being funny,
rach, but this one's on you.

You're marrying a drug dealer.

All right, high and mighty.

Went on a date.

No!

Concentrate on the job. Deal
with your mum on your own time.

We're all right, me
and you. We're good.

Go on with your life
and stay out of mine.
