A nurse strangled in Cleddau Wood. Not getting deja vu, Rick?

12 years ago, Rick and I helped put Paul Harvey behind bars

after he drugged and killed Mari Quinlan and Sian Hinton

in Cleddau Woods.

OK, Ryan Moss, Abbi's ex.

Did you murder Abbi Rayner in Cleddau Woods

on Friday, November the 10th?

Why did Ryan Moss call you on your work phone on Friday?

Ryan Moss attacked me. I am the victim

and I am your sister, not a suspect.

GIRLS GIGGLE

Did you hit Abbi Rayner?

She went psycho on me, OK? Cos I said I wasn't the father.

She was trying to trap me.

Result!

Just like old times.

Hey, you coming over Rick's to celebrate?

Couldn't have done it without you, boss.

Ffion, I need to ask you...

There's nothing between us any more. Just work colleagues.

Hey, what happened to Ffion, then?

Oh, I don't know. She must have just left.

Is there anything to link Ryan and Abbi to Paul Harvey?

We once thought that he might have had an accomplice.

It's only a bad dream.

SLOW BREATHING

SHE GROANS

MECHANICAL WHIRRING

Rick.

Rick!

You couldn't wait, could you?

What? To get me out of the way so you two could shag.

What? You and Ffion.

And don't lie to me, Rick. I just saw her leave.

The moment my back's turned,

after sending me away for my own protection.

Talk about gaslighting.

No, no, no. You've got it all wrong.

The whole team was here. Well, they're not here now.

I found her, OK.

She was crashed out in Mati's room. I didn't even know she was there.

I was downstairs celebrating with the whole team.

I saw her. I left her a glass of water by the bed

and then I went to bed.

She was in our daughter's bed.

I know it's not ideal.

Celebrating what?

We charged Ryan Moss with Abbi's murder.

We've got him, love.

And you didn't think to tell me?

While I was at work terrified every time a strange man came in,

you were...having a party.

Not even a text.

I'm sorry, Helen.

I should have done.

Do you know...how hard it's been for me, Rick...

..knowing you're back together day and night?

Yeah, working very hard to try and find out who killed Abbi.

Don't you hold that over me.

I'd never get in the way of your work.

Listen, you've got nothing to worry about because nothing happened.

OK?

HELEN SIGHS

Even if that's true,

it doesn't mean you didn't want it to.

KITCHEN DIN

Jamie!

This is my daughter, Ffion.

This is Jamie, your dad's carer. Hi.

Make the most of it. She's never here.

No excuse now for skipping meals and staying out all hours.

Bit like I'm 16 again.

She'll be making you packed lunches next. Don't tempt me.

Ah.

SHE CHUCKLES

Hey. That's mine, you daft sod.

SHE LAUGHS

Oh...

Suits you, Dad.

Ffion's only gone and caught the man who killed that poor nurse.

Who was it?

Er...

..Ryan Moss.

There were, er...

There were two nurses, weren't there?

You're talking about 12 years ago, Dad.

Oh. Sorry, love.

It's this brain of mine. I keep...forgetting stuff.

As long as you remember that I'm your favourite.

Come on!

Come on, Mati.

GIRLS CHATTER AND GIGGLE

I'm not sure we should.

Going to call your daddy on us?

Let's go.

Just cut the crap, Lisa, and call me.

Feeling rough?

Thanks for letting me crash.

Listen, Helen saw you leave this morning. What?

She came home early from work and presumed that we'd slept together.

Oh, shit, sorry.

You set her straight though, right?

Well, I tried yeah, but I, erm, I thought you could speak with her.

Yeah, no. No, thanks.

I'm the SIO here, not marriage guidance. Got enough on.

Wonder if he's got any fags.

Do you reckon he killed that nurse, then, or what?

Maybe he's a serial killer.

Maybe there's body parts in this trunk.

I dare you to look, Mati.

Now that we've charged Ryan Moss,

I was thinking maybe I should get back to Cardiff.

Keen to see the back of us?

I trust the team to do the work.

Give it till the end of the week.

Get them up and running.

Let day seven come and go.

Just for peace of mind.

You and Rick proved me right.

You make a good team.

OK. Great work yesterday.

It was a good result.

But now the hard work begins.

What we've got so far is largely circumstantial.

CPS are going to need more to build a case, so...

Still haven't found Abbi Rayner's scarf.

Now, we know that she was strangled.

Postmortem indicates that it was likely used as the murder weapon,

so that's our priority.

We haven't found the scarf in either of Ryan Moss's properties,

but he could have stashed that somewhere.

OK, Mogsy, go check in on the search team in Cleddau Woods. Yes, boss.

Celyn, any joy on the links between Ryan Moss and Paul Harvey?

No. I chased it up but Ryan worked for the chemist in town,

not the hospital. The only link is the heart knot.

OK, but we explore every possibility, remember.

Just got a call from CPS.

They want to know who Ryan Moss called on the day of Abbi's murder.

Celyn, you traced the call yet?

Er, yeah, sir. Er...

He called my sister.

And what was the call about?

Er, we don't know yet, sir.

Then someone needs to find out.

Pronto.

Bro.

Give me your cigs.

Cigs.

LAUGHTER

Yes.

Hey.

How am I supposed to explore every possibility

when you keep me in the dark?

Do you want me to call her? I mean, Lisa always preferred me to you.

No, I'll do it.

Oh, you can tell Helen I'm leaving the end of the week.

Put her mind at ease. Right.

Good.

Ah!

He's only a paedo.

Right...

..he deserves this.

Fu...

HE WHIMPERS

GIRLS GIGGLE

Come on, Mati!

Right,

we're looking for the scarf that was used to strangle Abbi.

It's possible that Ryan Moss has stashed it nearby.

POLICE RADIO CHATTER

OFFICERS CONVERSE

You'll have to talk to me at some point, Lisa,

so quit screening or I'll think you've got something to hide.

Do you want me to pop round when Huw's home

or I can ask the head if you're free?

Since when did we start intimidating witnesses?

Since one of them turned out to be my bloody sister.

PHONE MESSAGE: "..or I'll think you've got something to hide.

"Do you want me to pop round when Huw's home

"or I can ask the head if you're free?"

CHILDREN GIGGLE

So she said that Ryan Moss sold her some artwork?

Yeah, and he had her work number because she's got

a controlling husband, which is very hard to believe.

Then again, it's always the seemingly nice ones.

Is that a dig at me?

Cut it out.

You're not nice.

HE CHUCKLES

Why was he ringing her, of all people, after killing Abbi?

And why didn't she tell us that she knew him?

Oh, listen, can we stop at this florist down here, please?

As we're passing.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise you WANTED to look guilty.

It's such a cliche.

Trust me, it's what the cheating man gets his wife.

You've had a lot of experience of that, have you?

Once was enough.

It wasn't that simple, you know.

It was a joke.

Precious.

Ha!

You went all the way to Cardiff

and I thought you were having an affair with that DI bloke

you kept banging on about.

You know, I think that's what hurt the most.

That you didn't trust me.

But, hey, I'm single, successful and here you are grovelling so...

..who won in the end?

Mmm.

And don't get lilies. I'm allergic.

CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS

Celyn,

I need you to do a search on Mel Owen, please.

Ex-Army.

Serial number -

YX59812B.

We're here, Lisa.

ON PHONE: Please, Ffion, people will ask questions.

I've got a free period next. I'll meet you in The Coffee Pot.

See you there.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

BUZZER

INTERCOM: Hello, how can I help?

Yeah. I'm here for the job vacancy.

What job is that please, sir?

Caretaker's apprentice post.

Give me a moment.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hi, erm, so the caretaker's not aware of any job vacancy.

Where did you find out about it?

Hello?

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

What did you and Ryan Moss talk about on the phone, Lisa?

Hello, Ffion, how are you? Yeah, frustrated

after having to hunt my sister down to get a straight answer.

I don't remember.

Lisa, please.

Why did Ryan ring you after killing Abbi Rayner

and then come to your home three days later and attack you,

tie you up, take your car?

You know him better than you're letting on.

Listen, Lis, you're the only person we know he made contact with.

Now, whatever your relationship with him is,

whatever you're scared to tell us, we need to know what he said.

It could help us put him away.

Thanks.

Here.

Go on.

Thanks.

It's Ryan, isn't it?

Only, I saw you on the news.

I didn't do it.

Do you know who I am?

Oh, God.

Well, you can call me Paul.

I didn't do it so if you're looking to bond with me over...

Well, I think it's you who needs allies, Ryan.

And I wasn't looking to swap notes.

Ryan Moss is my dealer.

I bought coke off him.

What?

See, I knew she'd judge me.

I'm bored, Ffion.

We can't all be hotshot detectives.

I love Huw and the kids but now and again, I need more, OK?

I'm the one who helps Mum with Dad, remember,

while you're off doing whatever you want.

All right, look, Lisa...

..we're not really interested in the coke, are we?

Just what Ryan Moss said, OK?

He said he wanted money to get away that night.

He wanted me to take some coke off his hands.

He seemed desperate... You met up with him?

Yes, Ffion, I did, in his caravan.

What time was this?

After school.

4.30.

He said he was avoiding his ex.

Look, if the time of death was between 4.00 and 6.00,

and Lisa met Ryan at 4.30, could he have covered the body,

carved a heart knot and got back to the caravan in that time?

Well, he must have.

This can't get out.

I'd lose my job.

The least you can do is hear me out.

You know, it might surprise you to know that I am innocent, too.

That cop on the news, DS Sheldon,

he and his team framed me, set me up.

I was nowhere near the woods when the second body was dumped there.

They're corrupt.

They'd do anything for a result.

But you were found guilty.

Scary, isn't it?

I believe you because of what happened to me.

I think whoever killed Abbi...

..killed all three nurses.

Letters convey treacherous plans,

such as Macbeth to Lady Macbeth

about his meeting with the witches.

Of course, personal, handwritten letters are a rarity today.

Texts are far more common, even in the classroom, it seems,

Mati Sheldon.

What's so fascinating, Mati?

Well, maybe a visit to the head will liven up your day.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Er...

..yeah. I'm looking for my niece.

Mati.

I've got some bad news.

Need to tell her in person.

What year is she in?

Don't know.

We have a few pupils called Mati.

What's her surname?

How did you get in? I need to talk...to Mati!

Look, you shouldn't be on school property

without permission from the head.

It's loaded.

Yeah? So, please,

take me to Mati.

Long dark hair, small.

No older than 11, 12.

Move.

No!

GUNSHOT

FIRE ALARM WAILS

Was that a gun?

Lisa, stay there. But my kids are in there.

No, it's not safe.

FIRE ALARM BLARES

Ah! You shouldn't have done that!

WORRIED GASPS

Police. Do you know where that noise came from?

OK. Get inside, please, while we investigate.

What happened?

This guy, he had me at gunpoint and he fired.

Are you hurt?

What did he look like?

Scruffy. Mad eyes.

Which way did he go? Down there. OK.

Rick, no. He's got a gun.

Exactly, and my little girl is here.

You secure the classrooms this end and I'll do the same, OK.

OK, well, stay in contact.

OK, what's your name?

Owain. OK, Owain, can you get up with me?

OK, go in here, lock the door and wait till we can get some help.

Alert as many members of staff as you can.

Tell them to stay in the classrooms.

He asked me to take him to a girl called Mati.

Any idea where she might be?

No, sorry.

From the description, she might be in Year 7.

Sir, there's been a shooting at Bontwerdd High School.

ON PHONE: Your priority is to keep the staff and children unharmed.

They should hide. An escape shouldn't be attempted

until it's absolutely safe for them to do so.

Ffion, no heroics.

DOOR OPENS

You barricade the doors, you stay away from the windows

and you hide wherever you can.

Text other staff members to do the same and put your phones on silent.

Help is coming.

Anything?

No, not yet.

The suspect was looking for a girl called Mati.

Possibly in Year 7.

Rick, is that...?

Why her? I don't understand.

Is this because of me?

Please, let me in.

Ignore it. Stay still.

MESSAGE ALERT

Rick? I heard what's happening at the school.

I'm here now.

Where's Mati?

I don't know, Helen, but she's safe, I'm sure of it.

Find her, Rick. Find Mati.

She shouldn't have gone in. She's got a cough.

Promise me you'll find her.

I promise, I promise.

Rick!

Thank God. I got the text.

I've just spotted him.

Hold on. Yeah.

Where is that?

Er, side corridor, downstairs.

OK, Ffion, take care. He's still downstairs in a side corridor.

Which way is he heading?

I don't know. I'll find out.

Where does that lead to?

The main hall.

They're rehearsing in there.

OK. Can you show me?

Oh, no.

Mati, Mati, go, go, go, go, go.

Quick, quick!

Ffion, hide.

He's just about to come into the main hall.

Oh, shit.

Ffion, don't say a word.

I'll be your eyes, OK.

Mati is in there, too. She's hidden behind a curtain.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

SHE BREATHES DEEPLY

SHE STIFLES COUGH

DISTANT POLICE SIRENS

He's stood on the stage.

Listen, I've got a pass, I can get in there.

Keep back. Why are we just standing around?

Lisa! Oh, my God, Helen, they won't let us in.

Why aren't you doing anything? You need to do something!

POLICE SIRENS WAIL

GUNSHOT

I want to talk to the kids

who attacked my home,

destroyed it!

It's not so funny now, is it?!

Where are you, Mati?!

You started this, remember!

Hold on, I think he's leaving.

OK, suspect is leaving and heading to the front corridor.

COUGHING

Hold off, hold off.

MATI COUGHS

Come out or I'll shoot.

Three.

Two.

Don't shoot.

GUNSHOT

HEARTBEAT

You OK? Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah.

OK. Go and get somewhere safe.

MUFFLED: I'm sorry.

MUFFLED: I'm sorry.

HE SOBS

Your dad's safe, look.

FFION GROANS

Oh, God...

You're bleeding.

Hey, hey, hey, I like this coat.

What happened?

He was pointing the gun at Mati.

I tried to reason with him.

He wavered, I knocked him off balance

and when he went down, the gun went off.

Ohh! My arm's on fire.

It looks like the bullet glanced your arm.

It's a bad graze. It'll need cleaning out in case of infection.

Thank you.

You saved Mati's life.

You had me fucking worried then.

Oh, watch my arm. Oh, Ffion.

OK? I'm OK, yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

That's Sian Hinton's husband, isn't it?

Yep.

NEWS REPORTER: A man armed with a gun entered Bontwerdd High School

and shot at a teacher, sending shock waves

through the small town of Pembroke Dock this morning.

The gunman was captured...

I know his face.

It's the homeless man from the woods - Mel Owen.

Mogsy found his dog tags.

Didn't mean any harm.

Only wanted to hide away.

KEY TURNS IN LOCK

Hey, you OK, boss?

Yeah, I'll live.

No heroics, I said.

And you shouldn't have gone charging in blind.

I heard a gun go off, sir. Look.

We'll interview the Lone Ranger in the morning

once the police doctor's given us the go ahead.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Mogsy?

You'll never guess what I found in the homeless man's possessions.

What?

The murder weapon.

Well, that's it, he's the killer.

Maybe Ryan was telling the truth.

Maybe he and Abbi argued, he left her, along comes Mel Owen.

This could be grounds for dropping the charges against Ryan Moss.

It undercuts the evidence we have.

Come and take a look at this.

Mogsy also sent some photos of Mel when he was younger.

Well, that's the Harvey's home.

That's Robert Jenkins.

He was in their care at the time of the murders.

Robert Jenkins IS Mel Owen.

If that's the case, could he have helped Harvey?

What if Anna Harvey's telling the truth and Mel killed Sian?

I mean, if that is the truth,

we should have nailed him back in the day.

Well, at least we've got him now three days before the deadline.

Yeah, with Abbi's blood on our hands, Rick.

NEWS READER: A man armed with a gun entered Bontwerdd High School.

The gunman was captured and taken into custody.

A police officer was wounded at the scene but there were no fatalities.

This shocking incident took place only four days after the murder

of nurse Abbi Rayner, whose body was found in Cleddau Woods.

I'd like to talk to the prison governor, please.

Rick.

Rick!

Someone's asking for you in reception.

Alex, hi. Rick. Sorry to bother you, mate.

Is this about the gunman?

Because he is safe behind bars, Peter,

and he'll be there for a long time.

We're all safe now. OK?

Thanks, Rick. No worries.

That's not why I'm here.

I can't sleep, mate.

I can't take it. It's like it's all happening again.

It's not.

I heard there was a heart knot, initials, the same as with Sian.

Some sicko is just trying to mislead us, that's all. Ryan Moss?

Alex, we got Mari and Sian's killer, OK? Harvey is behind bars.

The evidence that I gave... Keep your voice down.

Look, I can't be sure of what I saw that night.

And if it wasn't Harvey, then who the fuck...?

Don't for one second think we got the wrong man, OK?

OK, OK. Sorry, mate.

It's all right. If you need anything, call me.

Sure. Don't come here again. All right.

Come on, Pete.

HINGES CREAK

Ready?

Leaving us so soon?

They've dropped the charges.

Could you, er, give us a minute?

You need to make a noise about this mistreatment, Ryan.

Yeah?

I want a re-trial in light of this recent murder.

The police must not get away with what they've done to us.

They need to suffer.

Good lad. Go on.

The gunman at Bontwerdd High School was once in my care.

He could be the original killer of both nurses.

He was still in the area at the time.

Don't take me to the hospital, I just want to go home.

Don't worry, Rick, OK?

If we missed Mel 12 years ago, it's my mistake as much as yours.

I still think that Harvey killed them both.

OK, OK. Pull over, Rick.

RICK BREATHES QUICKLY

I can't...

HE HYPERVENTILATES

Give me a fag.

Please. OK.

Oh.

Argh!

I can't...

OK, come here. Come here.

I can't. Breathe.

I can't. Breathe.

OK. OK? OK.

Come here.

It's over now, OK?

You're OK. Yeah, yeah.

HE BREATHES RAPIDLY
