Why does he have to be so stupid?

It's all good. No problem.

Don't let me hold you up, then.

Nice to see you too, Mum.

Right, you just stay there, yeah?
I'm gonna put the kettle on.

didn't I?

Course you did.

Through that door.

Hold the door.
Hold the door, please!

Can you open the door, please?

You got your...?
Yeah, I left it in the car.

Hello?
BANGS ON DOOR

Hello?

Sorry I'm late, sir.

I forgot my pass
and some idiot wouldn't let me...

Oh, hello.
DC Diane Fry?

DI Paul Hitchens.
This is DS Todd Eland.

Welcome to Edendale.
Thank you, sir.

You met DC Ben Cooper. Yeah?

Yeah. Just briefly.

There's no time to get settled in,
I'm afraid.

Human remains have been found
buried in the yard of a nearby farm.

So let me show you
to the briefing room.

Yeah.

Sickeningly overqualified,

and yet she willingly swaps the
bright lights of Leeds for Edendale.

Yeah, but why?
I don't know.

Do us a favour, yeah? You find out.

Ben?
Yeah?

How's Isobel?
You know Mum - getting on with it.

Tracy Garnett. Intelligence officer.
Welcome to the madhouse.

Right.

Firstly, I'd like to welcome
Detective Constable Diane Fry

to the Greater Derbyshire
Major Crimes Unit.

As you know, it's been difficult to
fill the post of DC in these parts,

so I'm very grateful
that Diane is here,

and I'm sure you'll
all make her feel very welcome.

Now, Tanglewood Farm.

As you know,
human remains have been found,

and SOCO are on site excavating
to recover those remains.

Obviously, victim identification
is the priority,

through DNA and checking
if there's anything on the body

to see if we can get a name.

Todd has positive ID
on the owner of the property.

Yep, er, Alex Barcroft.

But the farm has
recently changed hands,

and it's estimated
the burial predates the sale.

Previous owner is Raymond Carlisle,

70s, lives in Lowbridge Care Home.

He's been there about a year.

If the property has been empty
for months,

then the body could have been
brought in from outside

and, well, buried there.

Well, that's true, Diane,

but it's more likely a connection
to the farm.

I want a full sweep, CCTV footage.

Who lived there?
Who worked there? Everything.

You can work together with Ben
on that.

Can't wait (!)

When will we get the initial
forensics report on the body?

Well, why don't you, er,

hurry Dr Taylor along
when you're up there?

Things take a little longer
around here

in the Greater Derbyshire area,
Diane,

but rest assured,
this is a top priority.

And until we can prove otherwise,
this case is a murder investigation.

Right.

"Barrel."
It's a nickname.

Take my car, yeah?
I'd prefer to drive.

Yeah, but you don't know
where you're going.

Yeah, that's what satnavs
are there for.

This time of day,
town's gonna be gridlocked,

and I know the back roads, so...

Fine. Whatever.

Yeah. Wait, wait.
OK, let's start again, yeah?

Hello. My name's Ben.
Pleased to meet you.

What brings you to Edendale?

I've been paid by the government
to expand the gene pool.

HE SCOFFS

HE SUCKS HIS TEETH

Young Cooper.
WHISPERS: Jesus.

Hello.

I wondered if it'd be you.

You know each other?

Aye, I used to play rugby
with his dad.

Good player, Joe. Good copper, too.

Your dad's in the force?
Was.

I take it you don't know the
identity of the body, Mr Barcroft?

No. Sorry.

Estate agents forgot to mention
any buried corpses.

If the builders hadn't ballsed up,
they never would've found it.

Sorry, erm... S...

What do you mean?

Well, that trench,
it's not in the plans.

So who instructed...?
So why were they...?

Ladies first.
Who told them to dig there, then?

I don't know.

No CCTV.

The Carlisles were
a proud farming family.

You just wouldn't let a house
get into a state like this.

It's weird.

This whole place stinks.

That's country life.
You'll get used to that.

No, no, not that.

It smells like...

like ammonia.

Right.
Let's check this farmhouse out.

Shouldn't we be heading
to the crime scene?

DOOR CREAKS

Definitely a fixer-upper.

So, come on.

There must be some reason
you moved all the way out here.

I just fancied a change.

In Leeds, there'd be half a dozen
of us sweeping a house this size.

How do you wanna do this?
Suspect is evasive.

Changes the subject.

It's not an interesting story,
and we have work to do.

Let me guess,
you saw an influencer growing veg.

You thought, "That's life affirming.
I'll give that a go."

So you moved to the country, right?

If you'd like, I can show you the
right way round to hold a shovel.

Thank you, but being in this job,
I've been around plenty of tools.

We should be systematic.

So do you want to do downstairs
and I'll start upstairs?

Let's just look around here.

Looks like the farm accounts.

They were haemorrhaging money.

Salt, nitre, long peppers
and... ponie.

What the hell is ponie?

CLATTERING

Probably just the wind.

CLATTERING

THUD
What about that?

Looks like the owner didn't grow out
of their teenage goth phase.

They were scared of something.

These signs are to ward off evil.

Special interest of yours, is it?

My mother's.

There's two of them.

If one of these
is Raymond Carlisle...

...where's the brother?

FOOTSTEPS

Hey, hey!

Oi! Come here!

Stop!

Oi!

Come back!

CHATTER

Could have helped.

She's a person of interest.
We need to get ID.

I already know who she is.
Her name's Cara Doyle.

She's a regular customer.

Possession of drugs,
shoplifting, the usual.

She was probably just squatting.

You didn't think to say anything?
You were already out the door.

Impressive speed, by the way.

Can I help you, officers?

DC Diane Fry.

When can we get
the initial findings?

What my colleague means, Dr Taylor,

is we'd very much
like your first impressions

without you committing to
any specifics at this early stage.

I see one male adult.

Advanced decay, so no fingerprints.

Forensic archaeologist estimates
it's been there 12 to 18 months.

Raymond Carlisle
was still living here back then.

Any ID on the body?
Bank cards, driver's licence? No?

No. He was wearing that, though.

Mass produced,
but might help with identification.

Severe premortem tooth decay,

so possible history of drug use,
homelessness, or both.

Oh, there is one more thing.

His left hand is missing.

How the hell does that happen?
I believe that's your job.

Thank you.

HE SPEAKS POLISH

HE SPEAKS POLISH

Nikolai Dudzik?

You own the company contracted
to do the renovations.

My men are all legal. I check.

You're all right,
we're not here for that.

The new owner says
that there was no reason

for anybody to be digging
in that area, is that right?

My foreman told the boy
to dig the trench

to keep him out of the way.

Of all the places he could dig,
he happens to hit a makeshift grave.

What are you saying?

I saw the body.
It was in the ground a long time.

We've been here a few days.

At this stage, we're just trying
to establish the facts, Mr Dudzik.

HE SIGHS
Here is a fact.

I should have turned the job down.

It's been one issue... then another.

Accident. Broken tools.

The place is cursed.

The carer says
he gets confused easily.

Finding out what happened
to his brother is a priority.

Raymond? It's Danielle.

Those police officers are here
to see you.

Remember? I told you about 'em?

Hello, Mr Carlisle.

We'd like to talk to you
about Tanglewood Farm.

Do you know it?

Course I know it.

It's my home.

Can you tell us if anyone's
ever been buried on the farm?

Well... some animals maybe.

And what about people?

People? No.

Mr Carlisle...

...this is a picture of you
and your brother, isn't it?

Yeah, that's right.

HE CHUCKLES

Me and Derek. Yeah.

Can you tell us
what happened to Derek?

He...

He'll be looking after the farm.

No. No, Derek isn't there,
Mr Carlisle.

He's not...?

No. No.

He left.

What do you mean, "he left"?

Walked out...

...years ago
and not heard from him since.

Oh. You've been up there
to the farm?

Stay away.

It's not safe.

He... He's not there any more.

He can't protect you. No.

Derek, you mean?
Derek can't protect us?

Leave me alone!

Get out!
It's all right.

Get out!
HE SOBS

It's all right.

I don't know.
He's pretty distressed.

Let's see what she says.
Is he all right?

Raymond gets confused very easily.

He was already very poorly
when I started volunteering.

He'd been in and out of hospital.

Can I ask what this is about?

I'm afraid
we can't really discuss that.

Do you know of anyone else
who was living with him at the farm?

I believe he was by himself
up there.

He never has any visitors.

If that's everything?

Yeah, we'll be in touch if we need
to speak to Mr Carlisle again.

I don't think that's a good idea.

We wouldn't be here
if it wasn't important.

Thank you.

We should have pushed him
a bit harder.

No need.

A fiver says the body belongs
to this brother, Derek.

He left Edendale for a few years.
Comes back out of the blue.

Wants his share of the farm.
The two brothers start fighting.

And what about the tooth decay?

Juliana thought the victim
was a drug user.

Maybe Derek's not that big
on oral hygiene, I don't know.

Anyway, I'll get someone down here
to DNA swab Raymond.

Fine.

First, I think we need to pay
a visit to your regular customer.

She usually hangs out in this park.

HE SIGHS
Let me talk to her first, yeah?

SHE SIGHS

All right, Cara?

Look...

Look, I'm not here to give you
a hard time, all right?

It's just you might be able
to help us with our enquiries.

Why were you at Tanglewood Farm?
I wasn't.

Come on, Cara.
Are you deaf? I wasn't there.

Look, I don't want to have to take
you down to the police station...

OK, do it. Haven't done anything.

Illegal trespass at the very least.

And, you know,
considering your history of drug...

SHE SIGHS
Listen...

...we just need some information.

Fine.

Look, I've been crashing there
a few weeks, that's all.

Got kicked out of my flat.
Needed somewhere to sleep.

When the builders turned up,

the big fella and Nikolai
said I could stay

so long as I kept out the way.

OK.

Did you see
what happened there earlier?

Judging by the freaks
in paper suits,

I'm guessing
it wasn't a dead pig they found.

What about the man that lived there?
Raymond Carlisle?

Do you know him
or his brother, Derek?

Never met them.

What? I swear.

SHE SCOFFS

All right, go on.

You believe her, do you?
Ah, she's a good kid.

Just trapped.

So, what are we gonna do now?

Cos Hitchens is gonna want
some progress.

Well, let's hope for a DNA match.

Until then, we need to find out
everything we can

about Raymond Carlisle.

Erm, first day tradition.

That's kind, but no, thanks.

I'm not really a cake person.

All the more for the rest of us.
Here.

Er...
Nice.

Er, right, well, a few of us
are going for a drink after work...

I've got plans, so...
Thank you, though.

That's a shame.

I'll leave it in the break room
in case you change your mind.

Who doesn't like cake?

Listen, we're a close team here.

You might wanna make an effort,
you know?

I like to keep my work
and private life separate.

Thank you very much.
All right.

Anyway, come and look at this.

Oh, Raymond was cautioned
for the use of red diesel.

Now, red diesel is...

Cheap fuel for tractors,
boats, stuff like that.

Illegal for road use. Yes, I know.

That chemical smell on the farm,

what if it wasn't
just using red diesel,

but was laundering it
and selling it on?

Possible.
I mean, it's good money.

Gets in with bad people,
something goes wrong.

Says the reporting officer
is Sergeant Roy Palfreyman.

He's retired now,
but I know where to find him.

Diane, any news on our victim?

No ID yet, sir, but I think
we might actually have a new lead.

Mm. Good.
Getting on all right with Ben?

Yeah. He's making me
feel right at home, sir.

Excellent.

I'll let you get on with it, then.

Right at home, eh?

The flat smells like rats and mould,
so yeah.

They must really miss you in Leeds.

HE SIGHS

So, this is The Ram.

Oh, erm... It's quaint.

Mm. Beer's crap.
The food's not much better, so...

So you get it all to yourselves?
No locals bothering you?

Exactly. There's your man.

You hear about the body
up at Tanglewood?

I might be retired,

but nothing happens on my old patch
without me knowing.

Hello, Roy.

Who's this?

DC Diane Fry.

Not from Edendale, then?
No.

We were wondering what you could
tell us about Raymond Carlisle.

I know you picked him up
a few years back.

Ah. Odd ones, the Carlisles.

Looked alike, yeah,
but talk about chalk and cheese.

Didn't get on, then?
Fought like cat and dog.

Even more when the farm went south.
Blamed each other.

I got a phone call from Raymond
one day.

He was in a state.

They'd had a row.

Derek had beaten him senseless,
broke his jaw.

So, I gave Derek a choice.

Said I wouldn't nick him

as long as he left Edendale
and never came back.

The last time I saw him -
ten year ago.

Right, so Raymond ran the farm
on his own, then?

Aye, well, he got a farm hand in,
tried his best till he got sick.

Could Raymond have been laundering
red diesel on Tanglewood?

We know organised criminal networks
are getting involved in the trade.

You know, someone found out,
he shut them up. Wh...?

What's so funny?

Sorry, just the thought of Raymond
Carlisle as some big gangster.

Trust me, he don't have it in him.
He never has.

But it could be a possibility?

It was a routine check
at a cattle market.

Half the farmers round here
got caught out.

I made sure
they just got a slap on the wrist.

Sorry, why would you do that?
Look around you, love.

The farmers are all struggling

to make ends meet.
PHONE RINGS

They got all this perfectly good
diesel lying around.

Can you blame 'em?

Dr Taylor.

JULIANA: 'You need to come back
to the farm.'

Right. Yep, be right there.

Anything on our victim?

Wisdom teeth fully developed.

Epiphyseal plates
only partially fused.

I'd say early 20s.

Not Derek Carlisle, then?

Actually, that's not why I called.

While we were excavating
the remains, we found something.

Was it the hand?
No.

It's another body.

But this one's missing a head.

They found something else.

I told you...
you have nothing to worry about.

Because when I do a job,
I do it properly.

FRY: More evidence
has been discovered.

We just need Mr Carlisle
to share what he knows.

It's crucial that we don't
disrupt their schedules.

We understand.

He's always better
when he's gardening.

Seems more himself.

How are you getting on, Raymond?

Hello.
We met yesterday, Mr Carlisle.

We, erm...

We don't want to cause you
any distress, but we have to ask...

...were you aware that human remains
were buried on Tanglewood Farm?

What do you mean, remains?

We found bodies buried in the yard.

One missing a hand,
one missing a head.

I understand
that you employed a farm hand.

Farm hand? No, just me and Derek.

No, this would be after Derek left.

I said not to take him.

Take who, Mr Carlisle?

Billy. I told Derek to leave him be.

Who's Billy, Mr Carlisle?

Did Billy work on the farm?

I don't know.
Dead before I were born.

We kept him in the house.
He protected us.

Derek wanted rid.

He got the copper to help.

The... They were...
They were both gone.

I'll be gone too... soon.

Don't talk like that, Raymond.

Any day now. You'll see.

Mr Carlisle...

I'm sorry. Raymond isn't well.
Yeah, we just need to...

It's OK.
I think we got what we came for.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr Carlisle.

Er, is there a...
is there a problem?

Cos you've not spoke to me
since Lowbridge.

Yes, there is a problem.

You undermined me back then.
"We got what we came for"?

He didn't tell us anything.
That's not true.

He told us who Billy was.
When?

Have you ever heard
of a screaming skull?

A what?
A screaming skull.

It's a mummified human head.

Very funny, Cooper (!)

No, listen to me, I'm not joking.
Hear me out.

You remember
Raymond said Billy was dead

but they kept him in the house, right?

Well, around here,
people used to tell stories

about Screaming Billy,
Edendale's very own screaming skull.

They used to frighten kids
with it at Halloween.

"Get to bed
or Screaming Billy's gonna get you."

And I think that's what Raymond
was going on about.

You're saying Billy
is just an old skull?

So the headless skeleton...?
Probably just the rest of him.

Oh, this takes me back.

Fond memories.

The barmaid at The Ram
passed on your message,

said you want to speak to me again?

Yeah. Yeah,
we had another question for you.

What do you know
about Screaming Billy?

Ha. Billy?

I was wondering
when we'd get round to him.

Yeah, well, we've been
to see Mr Carlisle.

Right, well...

A year or so before
Derek Carlisle left Edendale,

he turned up on my doorstep
with a wooden box.

He asked me if I would dispose
of the contents.

Here.

This is Screaming Billy, I take it?
Aye.

Horrible old thing.
Skin like old boot leather.

I didn't see any need for a fuss.

It was clearly ancient,
like a holy relic,

so I gave it to the vicar
down at St Josephine's.

He buried it in the churchyard
in an unmarked grave.

And this vicar can confirm that, yeah?

Oh, aye, he could.

Only he's buried in the churchyard
an' all nowadays.

You didn't report the discovery
of unidentified human remains?

Look at it.

Belongs in a museum,

not being dissected
by some pathologist.

Thank you for your time,
Mr Palfreyman.

Please. Roy.

You're a good lad.

I meant to get in touch with you
after what happened.

Don't worry about it. Thanks again.

Right, well, I'll be off, then.
You know where to find me.

See you, Roy.

Right.

The second headless body
cannot be Derek Carlisle

because Derek gave Roy the head.

So it's this Billy person, then.

How are we gonna get a proper ID?

I think I might know someone
who could ID him for us.

Just a heads up,
she can be a bit... temperamental.

Sorry, love, it's not a good time.

I've got Mrs Gill in there.

Oh. Who's this?

Mum, this is DC Diane Fry.

Diane, this is my mum.
Hiya, Mrs Cooper.

Oh, call me Isobel.
I'm delighted to meet you.

I'll get rid of Mrs Gill.
She's a miserable old sow anyway.

She's trying to contact the dead?

More about seeing the future.

Some people find it comforting.

CRASHING

You all right, Mum?
Yeah.

Can you give me a hand here, love?
These books have gone everywhere.

Give us a sec.

What have you done now?

You can just leave them there.

I'll pick them up later. OK?

Thank you. Right.

So, screaming skulls have been found
all over the country.

Found under floorboards,
bricked up in walls.

They belong to people
whose spirits are so rooted

in a place that they refuse
to leave, even after they die.

Right. Let's see.

OK, here it is.

"Screaming skulls offer luck

"and protection
to all living residents.

"But if the head is removed
from a property,

"ill fortune befalls
all who live there.

"Furthermore, whoever took the skull
is cursed to die within the year."

Er, any idea who this Billy is
or when he might have died?

Your grandmother used to say
that Billy was a soldier

who took his own life
after he returned from the war.

My guess is
whoever buried him up there

would be long dead themselves now.

Can I borrow that, Mum?

Sure.

Thank you.

OK, I think I know
what happened to the missing hand.

Take a criminal's left hand,

you preserve it
in certain ingredients,

make a candle out of it.

Got a hand of glory.

That is disgusting.

Light the candle,
and hey presto, you disappear.

Disappear?

Yeah, it means
you go undetected by anyone.

Look, here.

It says that criminals
used hands of glory

so their evil deeds went undetected.

You have no evidence this hand
was taken for that reason.

But I do. Look at this.

Where are we? There.

"Take a felon's left hand,

"put it into a vessel
with nitre, salt and long peppers.

"Then make a candle
from virgin wax, sesame and ponie,

"with a wick made
from the felon's hair."

Recognise those ingredients?

Exactly what I found in the kitchen
at Tanglewood Farm.

Thank you very much.

Right, so, we have two victims,
both missing body parts

associated with occult artefacts.

The ingredients
for making those same artefacts

we found at the farm,
along with apotropaic markings.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You what?

It's magic to ward off evil.
It's what a screaming skull does.

Hands of glory
conceal criminal activities.

I'm aware of the folklore,

but how does this help
to ID our victim?

Well, I would wager
that the first victim

is probably a known criminal.

Hands of glory can only be made
from convicted felons.

And Victim B
probably has the first name Billy,

maybe an ex-soldier.

What do you make of this hypothesis,
Diane?

This is an area
of special interest for Ben.

So maybe his enthusiasm
is getting the better of him.

But in my opinion,
people are more likely to murder

for money than magic.

CLICKS FINGERS
My thoughts exactly.

Well, speaking of money, Diane,

the number crunchers have had a look
at that ledger you found.

And there are payments
from the farm's new owner, Barcroft,

to Raymond Carlisle
that predate the sale.

Todd.

Ooh.

Right, so, Diane wins that round.

Er, go find out what Barcroft
was paying Carlisle for.

Will do, Sarge.

What was I supposed to say?

Go on, get in! Go on!

Get in, you daft things!

Oh, you daft buggers.

Ah, morning, young Cooper.

Ah, just Cooper or Ben's fine.
Aye.

We've got some questions for you,
if that's all right?

Aye, yeah. Come on.

A second body?

No.

Anything I can do, just let me know.

Raymond Carlisle's financial record
shows several large payments

received from yourself
over the last few years.

Aye, they were... they were loans.

What for?

Well, Tanglewood
was in a bit of a state.

Raymond's bills were piling up,
so I offered to help.

So you'll have records
of these loans, then?

Ah, somewhere.

Though to be honest, it were more
of a gentlemen's agreement.

I find it strange
that you'd hand over thousands

in unsecured loans
to a rival business

out of the goodness
of your own heart.

All right, I admit it. You got me.

I might have had an ulterior motive.

Look, I knew Raymond was getting on.

No children,
no family to pass the farm on to.

It's only a matter of time before
Tanglewood would be up for sale.

So in return for the loans, you...
I got first refusal.

Oh, it's good land.

I knew I could expand the place,

develop Tanglewood
into a private residence...

...and make a tidy profit.

Roy Palfreyman said Mr Carlisle
employed someone to help him out

on the farm, like a labourer.

I don't suppose you know
who that is?

There were no records at the farm,

and, well, Mr Carlisle
wasn't very forthcoming.

I know who you're talking about.

Though he were more than a labourer,
from what I understand.

More like a farm manager.
So, you met him?

Aye. So have you.

Why didn't you tell us you'd been
farm manager at Tanglewood?

What, and now you're
a construction manager there?

That's a bit coincidental, isn't it?

When did you start working
at Tanglewood Farm?

The first time,
with Raymond Carlisle.

Maybe eight years ago.

So you could have been there
when Victim A was buried,

even though you told us
you'd only been there a few days?

I told you,
I know nothing about those bodies.

Why'd you leave Tanglewood?
To set up my business.

That's what I did
before I come to England.

I'm not a farmer.

Mr Carlisle hired me
only because I was cheap.

But I just did what he told me.

Fix tractor, mend fence.

Take animals to slaughter.
Bury corpses?

I'd never hurt anybody.

That's not what I asked.

Did you ever meet
Mr Carlisle's brother?

No.

He never mentioned a brother.

What about Billy?

Billy?

I don't know.

Sometimes, we'd get in
seasonal workers.

A few days, a few weeks.
They come, they go.

OK. How do you know Cara Doyle?

Because I'll tell you this,
she seems to know a lot about you.

You let her sleep on the farm.

Isn't that right, Nikolai? Yeah?

What did you ask for in return?
Not that.

I have a daughter back in Poland.

Everything I do is for her.

Cara reminded me of my Nadia,
so I let her stay at the farm.

But I warned her...

...there is evil on that farm.

Evil? What do you mean by evil?

Two bodies, you said?

To sin once is natural. A mistake.

But to commit that sin again?

Evil.

You talk to the police?
No.

I didn't tell them anything.

PHONE CHIMES

Where are we going?

There is something I have to do.

Nikolai, what are we doing here?

Stay in the car.

GUN COCKS

GUNSHOT

SHE COUGHS

Feeling a bit rough this morning?
Fine.

You got here quickly, Doctor.

You know us pathologists,
like vultures, we can smell death.

He was found
by a couple out running.

Based on body temperature
and rigour,

I'd say he's been here all night.

No weapon.

Got a shell casing, though.

...22 calibre.
Most likely a hunting rifle.

I don't fancy our chances
of finding any witnesses.

SOCOs discovered his vehicle
at the edge of the woods.

Ben.

Looks like Mr Dudzik
had company recently.

So, as you know, we now have
another body to deal with.

Nikolai Dudzik
shot in Hogtail Woods.

On the plus side,
he's not missing any body parts,

so we don't need to worry
about being hexed

by Devil's Kneecap or something.

Safe to say, this case is unusual,

so it's no surprise
that the local press

have taken an interest.

And it won't be long
before the nationals are far behind.

I want, at the end of the day,
to be able to report

that we've made concrete progress.

Ben, Diane,
stay on the Tanglewood Farm bodies.

Nikolai's death
has to be connected somehow.

Anything else?
Yes.

We've just had
the soil analysis results

from Tanglewood Farm,

but it doesn't state
on the email who ordered them.

Soil analysis?!

Oh, come on. Come on.

Who's been wasting
our limited resources

ordering expensive tests?

Er, me, sir.

You better have
a bloody good reason.

You write them off now, yeah?
Yeah, I mean...

Any results yet
on the hair from Nikolai's van?

Earliest we'll get the DNA results
back will be tomorrow morning.

In the meantime,
I do want to buy you

a welcome to Edendale drink.

Erm, sounds like a plan.

Erm, Ben, you're in, right?

Sure.

So, are you sorted
with somewhere to stay or...?

A flat in town. It'll do for now.
Oh. All right.

Just you, is it?

Gonna drag some fella out here,
t'middle of nowhere?

Just me.

How long are you staying?
A few months? Years?

I hadn't really thought
that far ahead, so...

No, no, no.

You seem like the type
who has a plan.

Just gonna take it day by day.

Mm.

I need a drink.

SHE GASPS,
HE CHUCKLES

Thanks for coming.

I didn't really know
the whole etiquette

cos we didn't do the
after-work-drinks thing in Leeds.

And thanks
for covering for me today.

Soil analysis.

In Leeds, that would be considered
best practice.

No, I get it.

And partners should have
each other's backs, right?

Yeah. Look...

I am sorry about that.

I should have backed you up with
Hitchens yesterday. It's all right.

What are those?

Corn dollies.

My gran used to say the spirit
of the corn lived inside them

during the winter.

And in the spring,
they were buried in the ground

and brought the spirit back to life.

Right.

People around here
like their traditions.

Yeah, I'm starting to notice.

Why don't we talk about
summat else? Erm...

OK.

What are you really doing
in Edendale?

Cos we don't get many coppers coming
here cos they fancy a break.

It's tricky to get noticed in Leeds,

so I thought I'd make my mark
out here in the sticks.

Is that so? Hm, OK.

Well, you might be
a good city copper,

but this rural policing's...
harder than it looks.

Mm.

Look, it's different for you cos...

you got to learn everything
from your dad.

Why didn't you say Barrel
was your old man?

I mean, actually,
I should have guessed

cos Cooper means barrel maker,
doesn't it? So...

What happened?

And you are more than welcome
to tell me to mind my own business.

Yeah, do that.

Right, Benny boy,

let's, you and me, show this lass
how we drink in the country.

Cheers. Cheers.
GLASSES CLINK

BARKING IN DISTANCE

Oh, just let me come around
and show you my pouring skills.

I'm very good.

Will he be all right getting home?

The road tilts towards
his front door. He'll be fine.

That pint's been there all night,
surprised it didn't get necked.

It's another local tradition.
Don't worry about it.

TEXT ALERT

All right?

Yeah, it's just a mate seeing if
I settled in all right.

CHATTER

KEYBOARD CLACKING

There you are. That's for you.
Your expensive tests.

Thank you.

You do know that all those have
agricultural uses, don't you?

I used to work
on my grandparents' farm.

All right. Hydrogen peroxide,
that's hair bleach.

Added to feed
to help fibre digestion.

Phenylacetic acid, then?
I don't know, probably a fertiliser.

You've a visitor at front desk, Ben.
It's Alex Barcroft.

OK. Cheers, Tracy.

Listen, all I'm saying is
it's not Leeds, right?

You waste money on stuff like that,

you're gonna have Hitchens
on your back.

Get it. Thanks.
All right.

LOCK BEEPS AND CLICKS

I go away for 24 hours,

and I come back,
and my builder's gone AWOL.

And then I find a note from him

saying that he's been dragged
in here by you lot.

So what's going on?
You haven't heard, have you?

Heard what?

Don't worry, it's not cake.
Oh, I can see that.

CHUCKLES
Chicken soup.

Eat it, it'll make you feel better.

And two decongestants, yeah?
Thank you. That's very kind.

You're welcome.

We're a small team,
so we need everyone fighting fit.

Thank you.

Tracy, can I ask you summat?
Yeah, sure.

How did Ben's dad die?

I mean, judging by the medal,

I'm assuming it was
in the line of duty.

Er, yeah.

Erm, Joe Cooper was found
beside his car

out at Boggart's Bridge
outside of town, beaten to death.

Did they find out who did it?

Well, must have suspects, at least.

Too many. I mean, Joe Cooper put
so many criminals behind bars.

Listen, tread carefully, OK?

Ben gets stopped most days
by old dears offering condolences,

and he has to walk past
that plaque outside.

Can't even go to the pub
without being reminded.

The pint on the bar.
Mm-hm.

The first copper in the bar each
night buys a beer for Joe Cooper.

For all he knows, the killer's still
walking around Edendale.

Makes it hard to move on.
Now, eat your soup.

CHUCKLES
Thank you.

What happened?

Well, I can't discuss
an active case,

but we are treating it
as suspicious.

Are you saying he was murdered?
Like I said, I can't discuss it.

Come on, young Cooper, it's me. Hey?

Your dad used to tell me all sorts
about what was going on down here.

I know, and as soon
as I have some news,

you'll be the first to know,
I promise.

Make sure you do.

EXHALES SHARPLY

What a mess, hey?
Ta.

GASPS

INHALES DEEPLY

Pseudoephedrine nasal decongestant.

KEYBOARD CLACKING

How much do you know
about decongestants?

Why, are you putting together
a pub quiz team?

Most decongestants used to
contain pseudoephedrine.

They took it out cos criminals
could use it to make crystal meth.

So they had to use another method

involving methylamine
and phenylacetic acid,

both chemicals found
in the soil analysis.

That is why the farm stank
of chemicals.

I bet Nikolai was involved.
Whoa, hang on a minute, right?

Like most towns, we have our
fair share of users, but a meth lab?

Come on.

All the other chemicals are also
compatible with drugs manufacture.

No, I am telling you,

someone was making crystal meth
on Tanglewood Farm.

Should we tell Hitchens?

There's something you should see.

Shh.

Right, so, I did an ANPR search
on Nikolai Dudzik's car.

Got a hit,
so I checked CCTV footage.

Shows up on West Street here
the day before yesterday.

He said his daughter
was back in Poland.

No, that's...
that's not his daughter.

Bring it back a bit.
OK.

MOUSE CLICKS

That's Cara Doyle.
Does Sarge know about this?

No, not yet.
He's gone back up to Hogtail Woods.

Hitchens said we need to stay
on the Tanglewood Farm bodies.

Like the man said,
it's all connected.

BABY BABBLES

No! Whoa, whoa, whoa, listen to me.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey!

Calm down. All right? Calm down.

You need to come with us because
of what happened with Nikolai.

Listen to me. Listen to me.
SHE SHOUTS

You're coming with us.

Ben.

Yes?
Look at that.

That's my private stuff.

Now, we know you was with Nikolai
the day before yesterday.

You were seen on CCTV cameras
in Edendale town centre.

Why were you in Nikolai's van?

We found your hair on the headrest,

so we'll have the DNA evidence
to prove that you were there.

We also found Nikolai's wallet
in your bag.

Forensics will show a residue of the
gunshot on your skin and clothes.

I gotta be honest with you, Cara,

it's not looking good
for you right now.

I didn't kill him.
But you were there, right?

OK. New question.

Can you tell me who he is?

Just some fella I met.
I can't remember his name.

Are you sure about that?

Cos you look really comfortable,
so boyfriend?

Family, then?

Why do you care?

Cara, a body was found
at Tanglewood Farm.

Two bodies, actually.
You were staying up at the farm.

I told you, I don't know anything.

We have reason to believe
the first body belongs to that man.

Why would you think that?

This crucifix was taken from you
when you were arrested.

This crucifix, which is identical,
was found with the body.

No. No, it's not him. It can't be.
Nikolai said it wasn't him.

What's his name, Cara?

He lied to me.
Tell us who he is.

Cara, don't you wanna find out
what happened to him?

It's Tommy. He's my brother.

EXHALES SHARPLY

Got given these by our foster mum.

Me and Tommy came over
from Dublin together.

Tommy got in with this gang, dealing.

He started using. We both did.

Meth?

Tommy owed the gang money.
Lots of it.

Told me he'd found a way
to pay them back.

Working up at Tanglewood,
making meth for this gang?

He'd come home stinking
of chemicals.

Then, one day, he just vanished.

Did you ever contact the police,
Cara?

Like you lot would care.

Do you think you could identify any
of the members of this organisation?

Only Nikolai.

He told me, "Tommy, he walked out
one day and didn't come back."

And I was stupid enough
to believe him.

Why were you in Nikolai's van
the other day?

He saw me on the street,

said I could crash at his
for the night.

And then I was supposed
to leave Edendale.

Why?

He told me
it's not safe for me here.

I fell asleep, and...

when I woke up,
we were by the woods.

Nik wandered off.

That's when I nabbed his wallet.

Habit, I guess.

Then I heard the gunshot.

Did you see anyone else up there?

I was scared.
I got out of the van, and I ran.

EXHALES SHARPLY

So, as far as we know,
Victim A is Tommy Doyle.

He worked on Tanglewood Farm,
probably making meth.

He was killed somehow
and buried without his hand.

Victim B was older,

possibly this Billy chap, who died
on the farm in the distant past.

The head was removed,

it was kept at the property until
it was given to Roy Palfreyman,

who had it buried
in a local churchyard.

We also have Nikolai Dudzik,

farm manager turned builder,
shot in the woods.

Thoughts?

I don't believe Cara shot Nikolai.

She's a mess,
but she's not a killer.

Yeah, but we should wait for
forensics before we make that call.

So, we know Raymond believed in
the power of the screaming skull...

...because he didn't want his brother
to remove Billy from the farm.

So, if Raymond was involved
in this meth business,

wouldn't he also believe

that a hand of glory
would keep his crimes hidden?

Where are you going with this?

Raymond had the ingredients
to make a hand of glory.

So if we find it,
and if the hand belongs to Tommy...

Ah, it would prove Raymond Carlisle
was involved in Tommy's death. Mm.

Ooh.

Hypothetically speaking, if you're
right, and I'm not saying you are,

wouldn't Raymond get rid of the hand
when he moved out?

No, no, it was protecting him.
He wouldn't have destroyed it.

He went to the trouble
of sawing off a man's hand,

so he would have kept it safe.

OK, then, so where is it?

It's hidden.
It's hidden in here somewhere.

Trust me, it is more likely

he probably threw it out
in the incinerator round the back,

got rid of the evidence
before he left.

That's it.

What?
Fire.

That book mentioned a hall in Leeds
where a hand of glory was discovered

in a nook above a fireplace.

Apparently,
the smoke disguised the smell.

Go on, then.

OK.

This belonged to Derek Carlisle.

So Derek left Edendale
without his watch or his wallet.

I don't think he left at all.

OK. Thank you, Dr Taylor.
That's very helpful.

Still running tests,

but she's saying
the remains of Victim B

fit the age and build
of Derek Carlisle.

And it's feasible that he's only
been down there for ten years.

It's a shallow grave,
it's damp, which accelerates decay,

and it makes the skeleton
look much older.

So not some century-old soldier
named Billy, then?

None of this makes any sense.

The headless body can't belong
to Derek Carlisle

because Palfreyman told us
that Derek gave him the head.

SHE SIGHS

Then there's only one explanation.

Palfreyman must be lying.

Right, so, before he took
early retirement,

Roy Palfreyman had a disciplinary
case opened against him.

I remember the rumours.
What was he accused of again?

Abuse of authority
and criminal conduct

in relation to the Bribery Act 2010.

I knew he was corrupt.

Doesn't mean he'd cover up
a murder, though. Why not?

Maybe Raymond Carlisle
made it worth his while.

Said, "It's the peanuts,
they're complimentary."

LAUGHTER

Oh, here we go.

Just because I'm retired,
don't mean I'm not busy.

Yeah, you look it (!)
Sorry to disturb you again.

Just one or two things
we need to clarify.

Like what?

We've reason to believe that
Derek Carlisle didn't leave Edendale

and that he never gave you
that head.

How would you figure that?
I showed you the photograph.

I mean, you could've got it off
of the internet, for all we know.

And why would I do a thing
like that?

The headless body found
at Tanglewood

wasn't some relic
from generations past.

It was buried around ten years ago,
the same time Derek disappeared.

So?
So did Raymond kill his brother

and then pay you off
to help cover it up?

What would your dad say
to all this, eh?

Accusing a fellow cop.
Without evidence, I might add.

He'd tell you
to answer the question.

Come on.

Not the first time your ethics have
been called into question, is it?

I take it you jumped
before you were pushed.

Don't you think
you're missing the obvious here?

Hm? Not that I'd tell you
how to do your job.

All right, then, humour us.

Oh, I don't know,

a couple of fine young
police officers like yourselves,

I'm sure you'll figure it out
eventually if you work together.

After all,
two heads are better than one, hey?

Now, unless you're intending
to arrest me,

I'm gonna ask you to get lost.

Roy. Hey, that's Mr Palfreyman
to you, lad. Now, piss off.

HE EXHALES DEEPLY

What do you think he meant, then?

Lying through his teeth, obviously.

We just need to prove it.

No, he was right.

We're missing something.

But what are we missing?

HE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

I've been a fool.

"Two heads are better than one."

Two heads are better than one.
We need to go back to Lowbridge.

Well, I don't care
about your protocols.

Mr Carlisle?

Mr Carlisle,
we'd like to have a look around,

if that's all right with you.
If you don't want them to...

Yeah, well,
we'd just get a warrant, so...

When you told us you'd be gone
any day now, what did you mean?

Like I told you,
Raymond has been in and out...

It's been 12 months
since you left Tanglewood.

Is that right?

DC Fry, can you tell us what happens

when you remove a screaming skull
from its home, please?

Yeah, you're "cursed to die
within the year".

This is ridiculous.

Mr Carlisle, do we have your consent
to search this room?

Do what you like.
It won't change anything.

Are any of Mr Carlisle's stuff
kept elsewhere?

Everything should be here.

He didn't bring much with him -

just some clothes,
a few personal items.

Cooper!
Yes.

Cooper.
Yeah?

We're gonna have to open this,
Mr Carlisle.

Before we do, is there anything
you'd like to tell us?

Open it.

DCI Ben Cooper and Diane Fry
interviewing Raymond Carlisle

with legal representation.

Finally, Mrs Danielle Entwhistle
is present

at Raymond Carlisle's request
to act as an appropriate adult.

Let's proceed.

Mr Carlisle, we have reason to
believe that the illegal production

of crystal methamphetamines
was taking place on Tanglewood Farm.

Now, this would have been while
it was still under your ownership.

HE STAMMERS
I don't even know what that is.

COOPER INHALES

Let's try another one, Mr Carlisle.

The head that we found in your room,
who did it belong to?

We believe the skull recovered
from your room

belonged to your brother,
Derek Carlisle.

DNA tests are underway
to confirm this.

How did your brother die, Raymond?

He slipped on the stairs,
broke his neck.

I weren't anywhere near him.

Our colleagues
did a preliminary examination

of the skull found
in your possession.

There are fractures
on the rear section

of the right parietal bone,

consistent with being hit
on the back of the head

with a blunt object.

Families can be difficult,
can't they, Raymond?

Even people who are supposed to love
each other can cause so much pain.

Why don't you tell us what
really happened to your brother?

SOLICITOR WHISPERS

No, no.
HE STAMMERS

HE INHALES

I killed him,
but it was self-defence.

He said he was going to get his gun.

H-He told me he wouldn't be forced
out of his own farm.

I panicked.

I hit him on the head
with a skillet.

So I buried him in the yard.

Except for the head.

I needed to lift the curse.

Things had been bad
since Terry got rid of Billy.

"Billy" being a screaming skull

kept on the property
prior to your brother's death?

That's right.
The farm needed protection.

And what about the drugs,
Mr Carlisle?

He told me we were making
our own fertilisers

and pesticides and such
to save money.

Who told you that, Raymond?

Oh, what's his name?

Er, Nikolai.

Did Mr Nikolai Dudzik threaten you,
force you to keep quiet?

No, he weren't a bad lad.

Just trying to make a better life.

Not pure greed, like some people.

We've been trying to figure out

why you'd take the head
with you, Raymond.

Because it would mean
you were cursed, right?

To die within the year,

and that the farm was cursed,
your family home.

Anybody else moving into the farm,
you wouldn't want them to be happy.

Is that right?

No.

Then why did you take it, Raymond?

B-Because...

...he's my brother.

RAYMOND SOBS

Thank you.

FRY SIGHS

Well?

They've shipped him back
to Lowbridge

while the CPS decide what to do
with him.

Anything in the PM for Tommy Doyle?

No, just some bone splintering in
the wrist where the hand's missing.

Splintering?

I mean, that's the kind of injury
you see in soldiers

or victims of industrial accidents.

The chances are
he lost his hand in an explosion

whilst making meth at Tanglewood.

Well, even if he did,

we can't be sure that
that was the cause of death.

But maybe that's a reason
why Nikolai shut everything down.

Didn't want people coming round
asking questions.

Who killed Nikolai, then?
A rival gang?

No, he's out of the game.
There's no point.

Right.
HE EXHALES REPEATEDLY

Remember when Raymond
was talking about Nikolai?

He said he wasn't greedy,
like some people.

What if there was someone else
involved in the meth lab

who didn't want Nikolai talking,

who knew Raymond had been arrested?

So they get a lawyer in,
a lawyer that Raymond can't afford

because he's got no relatives,
he's got no money.

CHATTER OUTSIDE,
CAR HORNS BEEP

I don't know.

Hang on a minute.

HE SCOFFS
No, it can't...

What?
Have a look.

That's a bit above and beyond
for a volunteer.

Too much of a stretch, the carer?

I mean, every time we turned up
at the care home,

she did try to get rid of us.

She did not want us poking around,
that's for sure.

Follow me.

Trace, do you know
a Danielle Entwhistle,

works up at Lowbridge?

Danielle? Oh, Danni, yeah.

Our Jimmy was seeing her years back.
Before she were married, of course.

So Entwhistle is her married name?

Yeah. She'd be Danielle...

...Barcroft.

Alex Barcroft's daughter.
Thanks, Trace.

Right.

So you think that Alex Barcroft is
the mastermind behind the meth lab,

and that he hired Dudzik to run it?

Exactly that, sir.

According to the manager
at Lowbridge,

Danielle started volunteering

only after Raymond Carlisle
had arrived there,

said that her father's
successful business

allowed her to give something back
to the community.

She immediately latched on
to Raymond,

paid him a lot of attention.

Now, we think
she was originally sent there

by her dad to groom Raymond,

you know, persuade him
to sell them Tanglewood Farm.

Well, I thought
that's what the money was for -

first refusal to buy the farm.

That's what Alex Barcroft told us.

Now, we believe
those payments were in fact bribes

to allow him
to manufacture meth on Tanglewood.

I don't know.
I mean, why not use his own farm?

Meth production
contaminates the land.

Poisons leach into the soil.

Put it this way - you wouldn't
want it in your back garden.

I've checked Alex Barcroft's
company accounts,

and he generates more income
per land

than any other farm in the county.

We think he was laundering
drug money on his farm

and used that money
to buy Tanglewood.

But this is all circumstantial.

I mean, have you got
anything concrete?

Let us have a search warrant
for Mr Barcroft's farm.

Then we will find you something,
sir... No. No.

HITCHENS SIGHS

Stake out the farm.

And if he moves anywhere,
follow him.

I'll give you 48 hours to come up
with some actual evidence.

Yes, sir.

Do you want me to take over
for a bit?

No, no. I'm good.
Right.

Do you not miss Leeds?

Yeah and no.
Mm.

I miss the shops.

No, I miss being able
to get whatever food I want

whenever I want.

And I really miss
proper fried chicken.

HE CHUCKLES

What about family? Friends?

Nah, I'm... I'm fine by myself.
Right.

Fair enough.

Aw, now I'm really hungry.

COOPER CHUCKLES
Yeah, me too.

Look! He's moving.

ENGINE STARTS

That's a dead end.
It must go somewhere.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm going on foot.
Don't want him to see us coming.

Shouldn't we call
for back-up first?

Let's just go check it out.

You don't wanna get Hitchens out of
his bed at this time in the morning.

Place looks abandoned.

Let's just keep our heads down, yeah?

Whoa.

He must have moved the meth lab here
after the explosion at Tanglewood.

Let's call it in.

Drop your phone.

Both of you.

What's the plan, Danielle?

We're going for a walk.

Up there.

Up against the wall.

Danielle, whatever
your dad's got you involved in,

you don't have to do this, you know.

Dad?!

You think he's got the imagination
for all this?

If it was up to him, we'd still
be living on government hand-outs.

Are you saying
this was all your idea?

Call it diversification.

It was that or bankruptcy.

I'm building a future here!

And I won't let you take that away
from me.

Danielle...

Danielle, listen to me.
Think about what you're doing.

You're not gonna kill
two police officers.

What's the alternative? Jail?

I know you haven't called this in.

With you two gone,

we'll have the time to clean up
and clear out.

Danielle!
DANIELLE GASPS

Move!

Go, go, go. Go.

Split up! Split up!
Hide in there. Hide in there.

I'm gonna draw him away.

You're gonna call for back-up, yes?
Yeah.

Get out of here, Danielle.

Argh!

You can't run forever.

PLASTIC SHEETS RUSTLE

DOOR OPENS,
CLOSES

There's no way out, lad.

Shit!

Might as well get this over with.

Alex...

I can't let you put my little girl
in jail.

Please, I am a police officer.

Please. You don't need to do this.

You brought this on yourself,
young Cooper.

GUNSHOT

You didn't call for back-up, then.

I got distracted.

Pass me your cuffs.

Where are yours?

SHOUTING IN DISTANCE

SHE YELLS

We know Tommy Doyle was a user.

Did he help himself
to some of the merchandise?

And you felt the need to make
an example of him?

No comment.
Bit medieval, isn't it?

Cutting off a man's hand
for stealing.

No comment.

We know Danielle was in charge.

Did she authorise the murder
of Tommy Doyle?

No, that were an accident.

No...

The lad, he got careless.

The vat overheated.

It exploded
and blew his hand clean off.

He bled out before anyone
could call an ambulance.

Doesn't mean she's not responsible.

Nikolai was the one who buried him.

No wonder he got cold feet.

You know,
the rifle you threatened us with

was the same type
as the one that killed Mr Dudzik.

Couldn't let him rat you out,
could you?

The only question is -
who pulled the trigger?

No comment.

Forensics can work miracles,
Danielle.

Gunshot residue on skin and clothes.

Danielle knew nothing about it.
It were me. I shot him.

He told you that, did he?

Fine.

He wanted
to take care of it himself,

make himself useful.

What does it matter now?

You know, we're just the same
as every other farm out there -

trying to survive.

We are the beating heart
of this bloody country,

and you would have us
on our knees begging for scraps

or turning our farms
into damned eco reserves.

I think that's all we need for now.

TRACY: Hey, hey.

Hey.
MAN: Well done, you two.

MAN: Well done.
WOMAN: Good job, guys.

Two mystery corpses identified,
three unlawful deaths solved,

and a major drugs op taken down.

You two, you make a good team.
Well done.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you.

Your father's son.
Thank you.

COOPER EXHALES
Planning to stick around, then?

Why not?

I could think of worse places
to be stationed.

It was brave
what you did back there.

Your dad would be proud.

I don't know about that.

He'd had torn a strip off me
for not calling for back-up first,

like you said we should.

But thank you.

MOBILE RINGS

Not gonna get that?

No, it's probably
just my old partner

checking I haven't been trampled
to death by a cow yet.

Pint?
Er, no, not tonight.

I should check on Mum,
but thank you.

Say hi from me.
Will do.

I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?
Bye.

Mum?

HE EXHALES DEEPLY
