All language subtitles for Vera S08E02 [10Bit] [1080p.WEB-DL.H265.AC3-FT] [ENG-Lektor PL] [Alusia]

Thank you.

We're in the studio.

So all you have to do to contact them is
come to us from Melbourne.

Let's go from recent events.

Collision of hauling cross.

Someone's done a runner on a body. Yeah,
well, the victim ain't...

Just saying she's hanging in there,
but... Likely to prove fatal. I gotcha.

Why aren't you up there already?

I had to drop the little one off.

I'm sorry, I got here as quick as I
could.

Kenny's up there. I know that road.

His old bloody boy races, bombing it
along at 80 miles an hour.

Was he conscious when they found her?
No.

It was before dawn, they written.

I don't know.

They haven't got her name either.

Paramedics took her bag. We're on it.

And no passenger.

Is the cab firmer where, Everett?

It's answer phone.

Jack's up there waiting now.

What? She volunteered? She's good,
Aidan.

Don't waste her.

Anyway, she was definitely hit by
another vehicle. She didn't just skid

road.

Now,

there's two types of paints, two sets of
tire tracks.

I think they both came this way.

Clipped her, and off she went.

It's not like it's a blind bend or
anything, is it?

Even the night.

A high speed wouldn't make a difference.

Oh, well, there's culpability right
there.

So was this deliberate?

What have you got for us?

That could be it right there.

Can you work your magic on that, Ken?
See if she was texting.

Oh, I know a man who can, yes.

Have you clocked the diesel?

Aye.

Well, she's in the ditch, so it's not
from her vehicle, is it?

No, agricultural.

More than likely some sort of farm
vehicle.

Well, see how far this diesel goes, Ken.
Never know, might take us right to her

front door.

Well.

Was there any alcohol in the blood?

I don't know.

I hope not.

She was 16 weeks pregnant.

No, no, there's no fetal heartbeat.

How long do you keep her like that?

Till all the relatives have been
informed.

Hey, she's called.

We found this on the cab firm's website.

Thanks.

Has she ever been in before?

Yeah. The next became a blank.

Do you know who the baby's dad is? We
don't have antenatal records.

So what was she in for before?

I don't think I can tell you that, can
I?

Isn't your deputy talking to legal?

Ethics fellow says they need a court
order before anything's disclosed.

Oh, very helpful.

What happened to 999 Solidarity?

Hey, Kenny, you got a relative for me?

No, but we found an address marked home.
It was stored in the sack now.

Oh, right.

Now, why didn't you think of that?

Why didn't you?

Well, make sure your pattern isn't
useful under these medics. Update their

records.

Yeah? DCI Vera Stanhope, Northumberland
and City Police, and this is DS Healy.

OK. We hear about a Faye Wakeland.

Yeah, but she's not in. Ah, we know that
text.

But this is her address, right?

Yeah, she rents with my brother.

Well, can we come in, love? I'm afraid
we've got some bad news.

No!

It's police.

And Miss Noel, he's the landlord?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I just got in from work.

DCI Stanhope.

It's regarding your tenant, Faye
Wakeland.

Well, that doesn't sound good.

There's no chance, not even like... No,
the medics think not.

I'm sorry.

What about the baby?

Is the baby alive?

It won't be long.

Think about it.

How long has she been a tenant here?

About 18 months.

Yeah, about 18 months.

Do her family know?

We were hoping you could help us contact
them.

Well, we didn't meet them. They don't
get on, I think.

No, they don't get on.

So do they go under the name of
Wakeland?

Again, I don't really know.

Well, is there anything you can think of
that might help us to contact them?

They live in, like, a stately home?

Well, that's what she told me. No, they
don't.

You could try her room.

She might have an address book or
something.

Shall I just put there on the left?

She was at the funeral. She was
definitely there.

That means she was fine.

I mean, she wasn't fine considering
there was a funeral.

Was that the last time you spoke to her?
Yeah, she didn't come home.

Did she meet someone?

Don't know, love, did she? I mean, would
that be in character?

Not really, no.

Whose funeral was it?

With our cousin, Roddy.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Coming so soon after, beggars believe.

So was she close to the deceased?

Roddy... Maplin.

I know she only knew him through us.

She was my rock.

That's what I called her. Simone, would
you shut up a bit, yeah? Sorry.

who the baby's father was?

I did not.

She didn't know?

That's all right, Pet. I don't judge.

Look, funny question this, but can you
think of anyone who might want a homer?

What, like, deliberately?

No.

Not around here, no.

What about the fella she used to hang
out with in town and stuff?

Well, maybe I don't know.

She said she hung around with some rough
fellas in the past life, but nothing

that we were aware of.

She had a couple of photo albums in the
lounge. Would they help?

Aye.

If anything occurs to you, you call this
number.

Can we see her on the ward?

Probably not until her next of kin have
been informed.

So, unless you're family or partner.

Right, well, I'll head down there and
see what they say.

Bird landlord, my arse. Go back around
and check on a pair of them.

It'll be fair. Give me any reason he's
lying.

Like what?

Well, benefit fraud for one.

Be out of pocket, they say. They're a
couple.

They're on the works in pension. He was
flagged up.

You all right? Any progress?

Nope. I've tried the mobile, the
landlines. I've instant message.

It's fine. I'll just wait.

Are you sure?

And has she got the weather for it?

Oh, yeah.

This job's like a holiday.

Anyone reported her missing or the
vehicle?

Don't look like it.

Likely to prove fatal, and by likely
they're saying definite, so no -one gets

their hopes up.

Shane, did she have kids?

No, but she was pregnant.

Wish I hadn't asked.

Aye. Now, it's unclear the sequence of
events leading up to the collision, but

the other vehicle left the scene. Why?

Under the influence.

Yeah, probably.

So follow up any road rage incidents in
the area.

I mean, did you have a run -in up the
road? Did anyone else?

So was it random or was someone going
after her? Oh, that was my next

Mark. Where are we with the diesel?

About half a mile down the road. The CS
always reckoned there was a gap between

the tread, though. So it were four
before?

Off -roader?

That or a van, yeah. Tractor, maybe.

You got something on that landlord?

No, him and his sister drew a blank.

But the victim herself, she was on the
system. It was a time waster.

She presented at Moresby about two years
ago, asking for a restraining order.

Said her step -mum, Susan Wakeland, was
trying to kill her.

You sure about that?

Absolutely. She said she'd try to run
her over.

How long's this been a nursing home?

30 -odd years.

Brian, Faye's dad, he's been here for
about five.

His wife, Susan, looks after him.

Nice. I'll go in and break the news. You
check her movements. They're the crash.

Hello?

Looking for Susan Wakeland, love?

She runs the place, doesn't she? She's
supervising lunch.

Far was hit by another vehicle.

And I'm afraid she's not expected to
survive her injuries.

So what, she's put someone in a coma?

No, no, I'm sorry if I've not made
myself clear, Mrs. Wakeland.

No, it's Faye who's been injured.

She's the one on life support.

We always tried our best with Faye.

When did you last see her?

June, maybe. She was working a lot. I
can't say we've had much contact

I can't do this.

Well, I'll do it if you like.

No, he's not good with strangers.

been in an accident, sweetheart.

She's not going to wake up.

Did you make your peace?

You did.

You did, love.

That was important to you to be at
peace, isn't it?

Oh, stupid stuff of a power of attorney.

Oh, money.

Oh, what money?

Faye got bad advice from some solicitor
she was going out with. He told her to

come after Brian's estate, because I
couldn't be trusted.

But that was resolved?

More or less.

Now, a tricky one, this.

Faye reported to the police that you
tried to run her over. Do you want to

me about that?

I have absolutely no idea.

An incident in Grey Market about two
years ago.

Well, we had a row, yeah, but I
didn't... I mean, she practically threw

on the bonnet, effing and blinding at
me.

She told lies.

Like? Oh, like she was always a victim
and someone was out to get her.

And was someone out to get her?

No.

Then what were the other lies?

Obviously, there was stuff that she said
about Brian.

And with a stroke, he could barely
answer back.

So what did she say exactly?

That he was cruel.

And that we made her teenage years a
misery.

She made her life a misery. I'm sorry to
say it, but she did.

So how did it happen? Was she on her
phone?

I don't know, love.

You, the driver, didn't stop.

Poor Sue.

Poor Brian.

This is going to set him back, no doubt.

Was she on duty two days ago?

How do you mean?

Can you say where she was?

As in, you're checking up on her? It's
just a routine part of our

Between, say, 6pm and 6am?

Yeah. Yeah, there was a fire drill about
8pm.

I'm the marshal. I remember ticking her
off.

Look, the hospital will need to talk to
next of kin for maladies, organ

donations, what have you.

I've got no idea of her wishes.

What do you expect me to do? Ask her
dad.

Nurse reckons she was here.

Well, I don't think she's going to
visit.

Wow. Oh, no.

Well, the hospital are going to want
witnesses when they switch her off.

Yeah? They've turned up.

Turns out someone from the workshop next
door told them first thing yesterday

and they closed in respect.

All right, thanks. We're on our way
over.

Popular.

Went out of her way to help people,
especially elderly clients.

Yeah, I had to have a chat about the
number of free lifts she was giving.

How long was she with you?

Under a year. I can check.

Had she had any trouble on the road or
with clients?

No. Why?

Well, it was an accident, wasn't it?

Well, we're keeping an open mind for
now, love.

Was she on duty when she died, or was
she using the car for her private? No,

was on duty.

Friday night's our best night. Someone
had to be on.

Yeah, she'd agreed because she wasn't
drinking. So I could have a drink at

Roddy's, too.

Not because of the pregnancy.

Probably. What pregnancy?

What? I only heard on the grapevine.

Do you know who the baby's father was?

No idea.

I didn't even know she had a blog.

She was always banging on about that
solicitor.

The one with all the money.

So, just to clarify...

Was she working when she crashed, or was
she on her way to work?

I'm guessing given where she was found,
she was driving to the address I gave

her. Oh. Have you, um...

It's her landline.

It usually means a pensioner.

I can't remember if it was a man or an
idiot.

And did they call back to say she hadn't
turned up?

Now you ask, I don't think they did.

What?

Jack, apparently she had a boyfriend who
was a solicitor. See if it's the same

one the stepmother was banging on about
when after the father's estate.

Jack, Mark will have it on the system.

It's all right, I know.

Kenny, trace that caller.

See if they saw or heard from her. Well,
they will. We'll check out the CCTV.

Well, it is a funeral, so crime's to be
expected. I mean, she's not storming out

or anything, is she? I'm just leaving to
start her shift, I'd say.

Part two, though, weren't it?

Ran out of lager. I remember that.

Popular fella, then?

Yeah. With that or the free bar.

I think the shock upset a lot of people.

How'd he die?

I thought you investigated.

Roddy took his own life.

I want everything on Roddy Maplin's
background.

His wife, the officers who found his
body. Interweb reports a lot.

Probably still interim.

Yeah, well, interim will do.

and on everything on that funeral, and
how this place all fits together.

Could it be some satellite interfering
with the GPS?

No, this is what she taped into the car
as well.

No landline for at least a mile and a
half.

So who called her out here?

Do you reckon it was a trap?

Could be premeditated.

Kenny, trace that phone call. Top
priority.

Yes?

Right.

That was the hospital.

They're ready for us.

This doesn't feel right. I know.

It's all right. You can stand down. One
of our A &E nurses has agreed to

witness.

You made her whilst you were on duty.

So that's why you concealed your
relationship.

I could have lost my job.

I loved her.

I loved her so much.

Can you tell everyone I'm next of kin?

At the time I was working in mental
health, she was admitted, said she'd had

overdose.

When the bloods came back, they were
clear.

She told them she'd made it up.

And they just told me to inform her GP
and give her a leaflet on mindfulness.

So let me get this straight.

Rather than see her discharged with
nowhere to go, you said she could come

yours.

Aye.

Well, she was a fine looking lass.

Oh, it wasn't like that.

No, she was in a state.

But you were living as a couple.

It wasn't official.

With the three of us at home, it was
like a little family with Simone as our

kid.

We never said we were like in a
relationship.

Noel, what's the baby you're with?

That caused ructions?

Was there a fallout at the funeral? Not
at all.

Not at all.

Not at all. It was a mess, yes.

But I loved her.

So who else was she close to other than
you and Simone?

Everyone.

She had friends all over.

Sounds like a nice girl.

Her dad was a nasty piece of work and a
step -mom.

Hang on.

You said you hadn't met them.

I haven't, but the story she told me.

That's why she was vulnerable.

Get them dropped off and have someone
keep an eye on them.

What? I thought we can check his
hullabaloo with a neighbor before he

their heads up.

Reckon he's lying?

I think he was trying to tell me
something.

That was premeditated.

He did a moment. I could buy the
absolute kind of row, but he really

Just, I don't know.

Forensics say it was a white van that
hit her.

You're police, aren't you?

Aye, we are, love.

Sorry for the intrusion, Mrs Maplin. We
know you've been recently bereaved.

Well, how did this happen?

No, it's only three weeks since Roddy.

Well, can we come in, love?

I was out the back of the walnut with
Noel for most of it.

Couldn't face that lot.

Right -arse blokes coming up, shaking my
hand.

Can anyone else confirm that?

The manager, maybe. He was in and out.

And Simone, she kept bringing us drinks.

Why do you need my movement?

Don't think about it.

They're double -checking what Noel told
them.

It just doesn't seem real.

I mean, I don't know why I'm upset my
dad's just gone, but... No, she was a

lady. She did a lot for Noel and Simone.

Hmm?

In what way?

I mean, like getting Simone on a college
course for a reading and that.

I thought they were in it for the long
haul. Her and Noel and the baby.

Poor bugger had no luck.

Was the baby Noel's then?

Well, whose else would it be?

I know she played hard to get, but she
doted on him.

Now, this solicitor, Adaldoni, he's a
former boyfriend, and he represented her

in court.

Anti -opposite.

Hmm.

Your dad always said, you ever need a
lawyer, get one who's made a bob or two.

Right, well, this particular one's been
sued twice for professional negligence.

That's really shyster.

They were together at least five years,
I'd say.

Do we get anything on the legal case?

Looks like it went in her favour. Fee
ended up with a family home.

Hang on.

If he's got a house, what's she doing
living with Noel?

It was full two years ago.

And six months later, he's in A &E
saying he's homeless.

So where'd the money go?

Just wish I'd seen her.

I tried, but she kept saying to me that
she was snowed under.

So when was the last time?

18 months.

When we split up, I guess.

Can I ask, why did you split up?

Just the normal.

To stop getting along.

We know you were helping her out in a
case. I mean, did you fall out over

It wasn't money.

I got frustrated.

Getting the house could have sorted her
out financially.

Cut a long story short, she sold up and,
well, blew the lot.

What, like 200 grand?

Nearly, yeah. It was all a bit manic,
really.

Kind of like a meltdown.

So was it that drove you apart?

Kids. She didn't want them and, well, I
did.

Oh, well, yeah, well, that can be
difficult.

Basically, her dad and stepmom were
horrible to her.

Did she ever talk about violence in her
childhood?

Some, but more psychological.

Nasty stuff like no birthday present,
locking her in a room.

Yeah, but did she tell you that?

It was obvious from the moment you met
them.

Brian, he was a nasty piece of work.

If we'd not gone after the house, Sue
would have left her with nothing.

Did she ever speak of anyone maybe
wanting to harm her?

Oh, yeah.

Susan was always making a threat.

Now, did she tell you that, or did you
witness it?

Oh, I witnessed it.

Susan was like a stalker whenever she
got angry.

She waited outside my flat once.

When we arrived, it was a big row.

Tried to run Fay over.

I told the other bloke. There was a fire
drill. She was here. Did you see her in

the early evening?

I'm sure I must have.

But you didn't.

Did you mislead my sergeant? No. I know
she was here.

Did she ask you to lie for her? I'm not
lying. I know she wasn't involved.

How do you know that?

They were always getting into trouble,
slagging her off, playing the victim.

It was completely unfair.

I'm just trying to stop you wasting your
time. Where is she, love?

She went on respite leave to her
sisters, just after she heard the news.

She left just after we came to see her.

But there's a sister, apparently. She
reckons she's gone there.

Now, we need to find her. I'll get
upstairs to throw tactical at her, if

necessary. Upstairs, I just agreed to
the sniffer dogs for the fuel.

Finally!

Now get uniformed to bring in Mrs.

Minibrake while we crack down this van.

Dogs have lost the scent of the diesel.

We're searching that cop's over there.

Aidan? Forget the dog.

Bring in the diver.

They're pulling it out now.

We'll run a trace.

As soon as they've had a proper look.

I'll get back to you, yeah.

Any markings?

Nothing. No reg case either.

Mom, it appears the landline that made
the call. There was a phone box outside

the pub in Metherington.

In here, please.

So Madam here waited outside the funeral
and lured her into a trap.

Now that fits with what that solicitor
told us about Stoughton.

Why are you even listening to this?

Everything that came out of Faye's mouth
was a lie.

So I'd be right in thinking there was a
lot of animosity between you. It was

very complicated.

Look, look.

I wasn't perfect.

And God bless her, she lost her mum at
14. And I know it didn't help me turning

up. But Faye was not an easy person.

She brought it on herself, is that what
you're saying?

She caused trouble for people.

She went after people's husbands. She
was a class A blackmailer.

Nevertheless, we have a witness who says
you tried to run her over. Yes, and

he's completely crooked too.

Ask anyone from the legal profession.

Listen to me.

This will be her doing some nasty bloke
and ruining someone's life.

Now someone's ruined her.

Excuse me, ma 'am.

Can I run something by you?

What?

It's the tricky one.

Not sure what to make of it. Come on,
spit it out.

I've got Faye's phone history.

And about three weeks ago, she searched
online for how to accuse someone of

rape.

How to accuse someone, or how to report
someone.

I know.

Funny wording, isn't it?

Hmm.

So I've done a bit of digging, and none
of our sexual violence team have any

record of her.

What about the sought referral centres?

I'll do that next.

What do you make of it?

Well, it suggests she was thinking of
making an allegation. What, as in

reporting it, or as in making something
up?

Well, I suppose...

More likely the former.

It may not be relevant.

Well, of course it's relevant.

We can't ignore this if she's been
assaulted, not by a lung choke.

But then, she has been accused of being
economical with the truth.

So calling her a liar over something
like this, that'd be terrible if we got

that wrong.

But I'll work on the assumption she
suffered some kind of attack.

Thanks. Oh, there you are.

Can we trace the chassis number of the
van?

Brace yourself.

I've been braced since the 80s, Ted.

Van belonged to Roddy Maplin, recently
deceased.

Well, loads of these and plastic boxes
in the back of the van.

Some of them never even got wet.

Oh, my life.

Reckon he was about 15 grand in the red.

Turned down by the banks.

Went to these guys.

Even they were saying no in the end.

Well, that's enough to make anyone
desperate, isn't it?

Oh, sod.

So what have you been spending money on?

I'm not clear.

Could be snowballing interest rates.

But on the other hand, it was
transferring money into Faye's bank

Regular as clockwork.

Last eight months or so.

Well, follow that up, Ken.

And have a good look at her account,
too.

Now, why was Roddy giving her money?

Well, Jack's got a theory about
blackmail.

Aye, but is that plausible?

She accuses him of rape and he pays up
straight away.

Could be a peak of work from what people
have said. Could be a saint from what

others have said.

Manipulative. Ripped off her dad.

But then she gives free lists to old
biddies. The love of our life, our rock.

This doesn't add up.

But if we think you had a habit of
extracting money... Yeah, I know, I

it's all a bit much, isn't it?

Blackmail, extortion, it'll be something
else tomorrow.

I could kick myself.

We've been wasting time faffing about
with her past and her family. It was

someone in her immediate circle who
killed her, wasn't it? It just seems

unlikely Susan would have nicked Roddy's
van. Didn't know him.

Shall I bail her? Yeah, we're going to
have to.

I mean, all this business of childhood
cruelty, I mean, that's fact or fiction.

Ah, who knows?

But what we do know is that the killer's
now had a few days to get their story

straight.

I want to know who her mates were,
locally.

All the ends and outs.

And that CCTV, has that given us
anything?

No one followed her out. So the killer
arrived in the area after she did and

never went inside.

Fatal Susan.

Hey, Josh.

Do you see that tunnel?

No.

You got the paperwork?

So you were the attending officer, hmm?

Yeah. Is your first hanging?

Reckoned. Not a person experienced, is
it?

You've not got used to it?

No phone records?

No, we didn't have the resources.

But the afternoon he died, he was texted
an address by someone called Fay.

How do you know he was texted an
address?

I wasn't his phone.

Without a warrant?

I was looking for his emergency contact.
I just saw it.

You'll get yourself in hot water, lad.
In front of a barrister, he'll tear you

to shreds.

Yeah, I know.

Did he reply?

I can't do this anymore.

Didn't leave a note.

I didn't find one.

Why is she texting him this address?

Have you been there?

It's just been me doing the whole thing.

Is he beat, is it? The usual.

Fighting. In and out of A &E. No one
pressing charges.

I remember it well.

Hopefully, now I've flunked to a murder,
I might get some answers.

You know, for his wife and Liam.

What do you make of them?

Smashing people.

And are they coping?

No, I'm considering.

You local boys do a good job. You don't
get many pats on the back here.

Not really.

It goes well, Josh.

I'll make sure you get some credit.

This place is full of students. What was
Faye doing here?

Any intelligence?

A few noise complaints, parties, a
couple of years back.

And nothing connects her to here. Not a
previous address.

Nope.

Right.

It's not illegal, is it?

Well, technically, it could be fraud on
your landlord.

We were just trying to make some extra
cash.

We're broke.

Who's the tax man?

How often did she come over?

You know, mate.

I'm saying you were the one speaking
with her.

Basically, we were looking for a new
housemate, you know, to put in the

She got in touch, said if we cleared out
every Saturday, she'd give us the same

money as one day a week. So you just
handed over the keys and went off to the

seaside for the day?

What was she using the place for?

She paid in cash.

So we thought she was a hooker.

Hooker? Do you mean a sex worker?

Is that why you're here?

It's just part of an ongoing inquiry.

Oh, my God.

She's dead?

What?

Is that why?

Did the killer... Did he ring a bell?

Did he kill her? Just answer her
question.

We just cleared out. We didn't see
anyone.

I swear, I haven't seen him.

I'll get on to the exploitation unit,
see if there's any intelligence of this

being a pop -up.

What? The brothel being used by
transient sex workers.

Well, you never know.

Maybe.

What are you thinking?

Well, it's just not sitting right, is
it?

Sex worker, I can find.

But she wasn't desperate.

There's no drug history.

Well, she was broke.

I don't know. Maybe it could be massages
with a few extras thrown in.

Got someone's backup.

Maybe.

Maybe.

Well, it's similar, yeah, but it can't
be his.

Why not?

Because this is in the garage.

You drove it back, didn't you?

Yeah, before the ceremony.

Right.

What can I say?

If you must, the garage isn't locked.

What, it's never locked?

No.

Well, it's a bit dodgy, isn't it? Anyone
could have access to it.

I suppose.

I'm sorry, love. I've got a difficult
question to ask you. Is it more

than asking me to identify my husband's
body?

Do you have any sense at all of why your
husband took his own life?

Well, he'd always been depressed on and
off.

I know he tried in his teens.

The psychiatrist said he fitted a
pattern.

He lost his job.

They went downhill after that.

Got paranoid?

A bit, yeah.

You know, like people were out to get
him.

How? You always thought people were
cheating him or whatever.

Oh, look, I hate to get personal. Oh, I
know, I know. Just doing your job.

Is there any chance at all your husband
and Faye were in any kind of

relationship? No way!

Next question?

Well... You both seem very sure of this.
He's loved, Mum.

It's not just because of that.

Roddy and Noah were more like brothers.
There's no way they're going to have to

stay.

And then we drove it back to his garage.

And when was this?

It was before the funeral of Austin
Liam. We had to transport, like, a

photo of him.

What did you do to the keys?

And Roddy leave him in the glove box.

What was the nature of Roddy and Faye's
relationship?

Well, they were friends, I suppose.

Is there any chance anything else could
have gone on between them?

What, like an affair?

No.

No, he was too under the thumb.

What, you're always saying he's under
the thumb?

I said he was loyal.

Well, she wasn't loyal to him, though,
was she?

Right. There's a bit of a secret hanging
about.

Carolyn and me, we messed about a bit
when she first got together with Roddy.

I'm Liam's dad.

I'm not proud about it, but I love that
kid and I love Roddy, so I backed off

for both their sakes.

Did Roddy know?

No. I think he might have suspected. I
think, in truth, I think I

had a part to play in what he did to
himself.

As we thought, no van.

Oh, no, reckons you returned it.

Does he indeed?

What was his alibi again?

How'd the back with Liam?

Apparently, Liam's his done, not
Roddy's.

Well, she never mentioned that.

Well, there again, maybe the lad doesn't
know.

Could have found out.

That could be relevant.

Could that lad have done something like
this?

Possibly. It's smart, but you never
know.

Roddy texted Faye shortly before he
dies. Can't do this anymore.

No, it's not an affair. What is it? I
mean, what are they doing at that

Remind me why she left the funeral
early.

Undutied, I think.

Yeah, but...

Not that hard, isn't it?

Well, why would you choose to be on duty
if the bloke you've been texting on the

quiet has been laid to rest?

Because she didn't want to be there.

Why? She can't face it?

Well, because you drove him to it.

None of the assault referral centres
have any record of her.

Right.

So she didn't report it?

Oh. Oh, there was nothing to report.

Kenny, have you got our bank stuff? It's
on its way.

Right, thumbs in, thumbs out, and tally
it against the day she was at that

house. Well... Oh, and for what it's
worth, one of the other drivers at the

firm was convinced the killing would be
the result of a sex feud.

Sex feud?

Is that a technical term?

I'm just recounting what he told me.
Yeah, what's this fella's name?

Um... Well, don't just sit there. Get it
up on the board.

Well, I thought we were going to be nice
to her.

I wanted to do well, but she's got to be
on top of the basics.

Give her a few pointers.

You might be the blue -eyed boy now, but
you weren't so quick off the mark when

you first came here.

Is that a compliment?

Make the most of it, thanks.

No coffee for me, then?

There it is. Sorry, Marcus. I can never
remember what you like.

Just a latte.

See? Him one ear and out the other.

Cause of death, traumatic injuries
following a high -speed collision.

Sorry I don't have anything new for you.

Well, I'm glad I came all this way.

No drink, drugs?

Not that I could find.

Nor any signs of assault, thankfully.

Report on the foetus.

Survived the impact because of the
amniotic sac.

Died from a lack of oxygen when mum went
into cardiac arrest.

There's one thing that might be useful.

It's her GP notes.

She had a termination booked. So there
should be some sort of confirmation

letter at home.

Well, that is useful.

Also,

I was packing these up for the funeral
director and I found this in her pocket.

Paternity result.

Well, well, well.

Should have listened to the stepmother.

Pregnant by her married boss.

Paternity results.

Now then.

These results were found in her clothes
on the day she died. So it's safe to

assume she'd taken them to the funeral.
A bit of an odd thing to do.

But emotions are running high, so it's
not out of the question.

Also, her GP confirmed that she'd booked
a termination.

So, what are we to make of that?

If she has got a history of extracting
cash from blokes, was there a

confrontation about these results with
Tony?

Hang on, I saw something on the CCTV.

Oh, is this the DNA results?

I think you're right.

Now, get on to that clinic who did the
testing and see what else they can tell

us. I'll go question him.

Hang on.

Let's dig for as much as we can first
and then bring him in.

Mark, find me someone who saw Tony leave
that funeral.

having a sexual relationship?

No. I love my wife.

But I swear on my life, I wasn't.

Well, she might have had a thing for me,
but I never did anything about it. Oh,

now we're getting somewhere.

So what sort of thing?

Like, she used to tell me she fancied me
or whatever.

I used to just ignore it. Really?

Well, you're not flattered.

No. It was scary.

I was paranoid she'd turn up in fishnets
and a mat. Oh, so now she's loopy, Lou.

That's easy to say. Now she's not here
to say difference.

So what happened?

Hmm?

You fall out when she threatened to tell
your missus? No, because we never...

Oh, if you never, how come you fathered
her child?

I didn't.

Who's told you that?

DNA test.

What DNA test?

Look, you can't just DNA test me. Why?
Because the truth will out? No, because

this is the first I've heard of any DNA
test.

Oh, is that right?

Well, what's she showing you here, pet?

Hmm? Caught on CCTV?

Well, I don't know.

I can't remember.

I think she showed you these results.

And then you followed her out and you
killed her to shut her up. And why would

do that?

You tell me, love.

As you say, you love your wife.

You charging him? No, not yet.

Why, what have you got?

Well, Tony Everett's been making cash
deposits in Fay's account.

Now, why should the branch recognise
them? Well, that's it then. Hush money.

Fate goes after him about the affair and
then ups the ante with the DNA.

That fate's a pattern, isn't it?

Hold your horses.

We can't link it with the crash.

Remind me, why not?

He's all over the CCTV.

Getting rounds on.

Makes a big speech at the end. Well,
maybe he's kicked out.

I thought of that.

But then we found six people said they
vouched that he was there.

Six? I know. Popular fellow by all
accounts. One of these people genuine or

they covering for him? Hard to say.

Well, is there a window of opportunity?

Max, probably half hour.

Well, that won't stick then, will it?

Getting that van into the lake, that's
what, a couple of hours at least.

Okay, well, if it's not him, then who?

Has somebody who's linked to him?

There's the person who gave her the
details in the car.

The missus.

Are you sure this is the right address?

It's the one that gave us.

Cappy afford this?

He owns the business.

What? It's ten foot by ten foot and a
bit of gravel.

Oh, he has got a few drivers.

Well, it's only him and Hay on the
websites, and what are the other drivers

doing with themselves all day?

What can I do for you guys?

Yes.

I gave her the fare details. I already
told you that.

Did you make them up?

Why on earth would I?

Well, I don't know.

Lay a trap.

Because you found out about the affair
with your husband.

Oh, no. No way.

He didn't even fancy her.

You sure about that?

We talked about it.

It was like a joke how much she fancied
him.

I thought it was sweet.

And did you think it was sweet?

You were taking money from your business
and putting it into her bank account.

I did, actually, yes.

I felt sorry for her.

She was broke. We wanted to help her
out.

And did you know she was pregnant with
your husband?

If she said that, it was for thinking.

I'm sorry, love.

We've got to... I don't believe this,
love. You're not going to get me to say

hated her.

I didn't.

I felt sorry for her.

Things she's gone through in her life, I
wouldn't wish on anyone.

And neither would my husband.

So I think you'd better send him home.

Well, she's either lying or she's
completely stupid.

Stunned by your man?

Aye. Or vice versa.

Then why was she logged on the system?

I mean, if she was laying a trap, she'd
phone Fay direct, wouldn't she?

Oh, this is dastard. It doesn't make any
sense.

We're missing something.

Probably something staring us right in
the face.

She's certainly got people to feel sorry
for her, didn't she? I think she said

whatever came into her head to get
attention.

Yeah, well, that doesn't mean you're a
bad person. No.

But if someone pretending to be all
tragic suddenly meets a tragic death,

are we to make of that?

The DNA clinic says that the doctor that
sent this report has been off sick for

at least eight months.

So how'd she get them, then?

Well, maybe she didn't.

Or could she have made them?

Covered it up on the internet?

Was that possible?

That's not just a cut -and -paste job.

But it's possible.

You know what, Tony?

So blind he wasn't having a sexual
relationship with her.

And now I'm inclined to believe him.

But he claimed he didn't know what was
on that piece of paper.

And that I don't believe. Get that CCTV
off.

Like, freeze it there.

Now, it was me insisting that was the
DNA result.

So why didn't Tony put me right?

Hmm? Clear himself.

Because whatever it was they were
discussing was something worse.

Mum, I've been through the till roll
from the bar.

Looks like Tony paid the whole tab for
the wake. The whole tab?

Oh, and Anthony has the mini -cabs.

Nothing to see here. See, I knew he
sounded dodgy.

Everyone vouching for him. Aidan, get
over and wear one of those witnesses

And if you can do it while he's still in
custody, chances are someone might

buckle.

Now then.

Alternative fear is connecting Tony and
Fay.

If it's not some sort of paternity or
mistress set up, what is it they're

means money's rattling between them.

Something lucrative, judging by the
house. Good money.

But off the radar.

So small, but lots of it.

So what are we saying?

Weed? We got any intelligence on this?
Nothing's coming up. I can push the

neighbourhood team.

Right, dodgy trainers, dodgy fags.

Designer gear works. It tends to draw
less attention to itself.

Where was the money supposedly coming
from?

Same rental properties, but that could
be rubbish.

Well, maybe he's a dodgy landlord.

Owns half the area and his tenants are
protecting him. All the properties are

town.

Let the students, mainly.

You said Faye came round?

Yeah, she used to come round either,
like, a Saturday or a Sunday.

So long as we cleared off, we got paid
for the day.

It weren't even me, it was Owen.

Really? Well, he reckons you started it.

He was the one that put on the ad.

Wasn't your landlord hounded that what
happened?

Then what?

What did Tony Everett draw you into?

Nothing. Everything else I told you was
true.

He told us to give Fay the house for one
day a week and he turned a blind eye.

You turn a blind eye, more like.

Now, listen, son.

You're from a nice family.

Did you really sit back and let some
bloke run a criminal enterprise from

front room?

Hmm? It really didn't seem that bad.

People coming in and out.

Honest, I think people are pleased to
see him. It's not as if they were thugs.

Well, I don't believe he didn't buy your
silence.

All right, he waived the rent.

Look, I'm about to graduate, 30 grand
down. I needed the money.

I think I've got it.

OK, what do I need to do? Now, just
listen.

We've got a broke community that had
Tony's back.

We've got him putting large amounts of
cash in the Faye's bank account.

There's poor old Roddy, who's run out of
credit with a payday loan to people,

meeting Faye on the quiet.

What if Tony's a loan shark?

And he was working for him. That would
explain why people are defending him.

They're scared. Exactly. They're all in
hock. Now get on to the citizens' advice

and see if there's any sniff of it.

Aidan, I'm on to something.

What have you got?

I think I've unpicked what they were up
to.

Yeah, flown sharks, right? I've found a
witness who's prepared to talk.

She turned me down the first time I
asked her.

Told me to cut back on me spending.

There's only so much I can cut out, so I
lied a bit about how I'd make the

repayments. And she set us up with this
meeting.

She had this, like, studenty house where
she did the handover.

I think I started a grand.

But then by the time you've paid it
back, it's more like two grand. And I

just... I just didn't think it through.

Anyway, I soon found out they weren't
all as nice as he was.

She tried her best, but he... Tony.

He set the dogs on me.

And then there was nothing she could do.

Who are the dogs, love?

They the other drivers?

They the muscle?

First they take your stuff.

And then when that's all gone, it's
trying to scare you.

And you had not even the slightest
inkling there were organised criminals

working in the area?

None.

Disorganised criminals, maybe.

People getting themselves into messes.
Ah, the ones you take to A &E.

The ones who've been fighting and don't
press charges.

Well... They've been fighting because
they're poor, aren't they? Not because

some fella's been pushing them about.

Not community's finest hour.

Was there anything else?

There's hundreds of them.

How do you silence hundreds of people?

What, make them think they're the only
one?

Shame.

Yeah, definitely not the back of a fag
packet operation.

Big fan of spreadsheets. Oh, no, they're
professional.

Jack, please tell me citizens' advice
has evidence of loan shark activity.

I can do better than that.

They've got evidence pertaining to
motive for murder.

That's it.

And this was, what, three days before
she died?

Well, that explains some of the lack of
memory at the funeral, doesn't it?

Did she tell you she was going to report
you?

No. Did you try to shut her up? No.

But you went to the funeral.

Why?

To see how it was panning out with the
community, now that Roddy had gone and

done what he'd done.

See if anyone was blaming you. Anyone
going to spill the beans?

No.

Do you admit you've been lending money
illegally?

I offered loans to friends, yes.

But I didn't kill anyone.

Or beat anyone up.

Or anything else people might be saying.

So why do you think they're saying that?

Because if I get put away, they don't
have to pay me back.

do they? Oh, well, there is that.

Well, you've got this all wrong.

I was just the bank.

She was the one making the connections.

Oh, that's right. Blame the dead person.
She liked the money.

I'm telling you, heart of stone, you
should see her handbag collection.

Oh, is it as impressive as your great
big house with a gravel drive?

Don't give me this businessman tripe.

You prey on the vulnerable, the
depressed. Well, a lot of people with

pay up on time.

Yeah? Well, what about Roddy?

He was depressed.

Did Faye ask you to let him off?

Not really.

Because she never stood up to a bully,
did she?

Well, I can't let off every Tom, Dick
and Harry she felt sorry for.

No, so instead you killed her to shut
her up.

You've got no evidence of that.

No, because you've got everyone covering
for you. No.

Because I know I didn't do it.

So you won't find any proof.

You all right, boss?

All on Faye.

Part of stone, apparently.

Well, that fits, doesn't it?

Hang on.

That's a list of people who are losing
money.

I should have thought of that.

Simone? You'll be fine.

Sorry. See you later.

Can we have a talk, Pet?

Have I done something?

Why do you say that?

Sometimes I do things I don't realise.

No, no, no, no. No, I just wanted to ask
you something private.

Were you ever in debt to Tony Everett?

Well, yeah, but Faith ordered it for me.

I just got in a muddle because of me
maths. That's why I'm here, to get my

in that.

But before Faith ordered it, did anyone
try to get payment from you in

another way?

One of the dogs did, yeah.

Said I owed him.

You should have come to Westpac.

But like, what if they found out and
then did something worse?

I can't say it.

You look like my mum.

OK, love.

Now, I'm going to arrange for you to
talk to an officer who specialises...

still, like, wearing me clothes.

He didn't take my clothes off.

You know, that is still rape.

Yeah, that's what fear said.

Did she take you to a referral centre?

Yeah, they did, like, forensic stuff.

But at the end of the day, I just
thought, I don't want the hassle.

No, look, if there's forensic evidence
on file, that puts you in a great

position prosecution -wise.

Yeah, Faye said that.

Listen, we'd be with you every step of
the way this time.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, I'm not going to force you.

You know, if she was here, she'd know
exactly what to do.

She helped you a lot, didn't she?

Said we'd win in the end.

violence, extracting money with threats,
and using rape to enforce... What?

Who's saying they've been raped?

I'm not going to disclose that.

Oh, there's a lot been done in your
name, pet.

We're just getting started.

Illegal loans, inciting sexual violence.
Well, a good priest might be able to

whittle that down to a few years.

But murder?

Nah. That'll be a life sentence.

You can't see that? I didn't. Faye had
had enough. She sat at Roddy's funeral

watching you glad -handing. And she told
you she wasn't standing for it anymore,

didn't she? She told you the game was
off. And you made a call. You got your

wife to lure her out of the car. You
followed her and you killed her.

No wonder it took you a while to open up
shop. The pair of you were getting your

stories straight. We were trying to work
out the best way to help. But we're as

upset about what happened to Faye as
anyone. Do you admit you lied?

It was to deflect attention from my
financial activity.

Now we're getting it over. But I didn't
set a trap for her and nor did my wife.

Faye came to me.

She wanted to leave, but she didn't want
to just walk out, so I gave her a piece

of paper where I'd written down a job
that had just come in.

Someone had phoned it through to Louise.

And they'd asked for me by name.

I mean, seriously, you've used physical
intimidation. No comment.

Target wasn't Faye.

It was Tony.

He was sent the address.

inadvertently packed it on buffet.

Now take him, lad, at face value.

Who wanted him dead?

Well, fair few of this lot be pleased to
see him gone.

But of all of them, who'd he wronged the
most?

If you wanted to hurt Tony, why kill
Fay?

Why not kill Louise? He loves Louise. It
doesn't make sense.

See, I think they did want to kill Tony.

So can you think of a reason why someone
would want to do that?

Er, to get out of paying him back?

No, I think they did want to pay him
back. Pay him back for what they've done

people like you.

People like Roddy.

Who knew what had happened to him?

We all did, but no one was not with Faye
about it.

No, because Faye looked out for people,
didn't she?

How can you look out for her and go back
over the night she died?

What about Liam?

Well, you said he was out the back with
Noel.

Was that the truth?

I don't know.

Noel... Told me to say he was with him,
but I didn't see it myself.

So Noel lied about his alibi.

Yeah, but only to protect this boy,
like.

Right, now go work on Liam, but go
through his mam.

Oh, she won't want him wrapped up in
there. Will do.

We've got your prints on the van that
killed her.

I told you I drove it.

But we've also got Liam saying you
weren't out the back of the pub like you

you were.

You tell him the lie?

Well, he offered a lie.

Because I told him I drove the van after
a drink.

Of course, he knew you'd never have
killed Faith because you loved her.

Yeah.

Didn't tell him you were out to get
Tony, though, did you?

Ah, you didn't plan it, I don't think.

Imagine the emotions of the day took
over.

But what was it that set you off, hmm?

Did Faye show you some DNA results at
the funeral?

Yeah. I thought she had those to prove
to someone they were the father of her

baby, but now I see they would have
proved to you that you wasn't.

So she tells you the baby's Tony's took
off on the blow.

Was it not Tony's then?

I think they were trying to make you
feel better.

After all, she knew that you'd missed
out with your son, Liam.

So do you want to tell me what happened
at the wake?

We were both upset.

So did you confront Tony with it?

No, I just watched him.

I hated what he'd done. I feared him.

Ronnie, the village, me, my future.

I don't know what came over me.

I went outside for a breath of fresh
air, saw the phone, called the cab firm.

knew he was on duty. I knew I had to
bring him out.

Got in the van, watched the car pull
away.

I just bombed it down, followed it.

I'd like to think I was only going to
scare him, but the truth is I don't

I'm not sure.

I went home.

Fear wasn't back. I didn't think
anything of it. I went to work.

And there she was.

I'm stood there. She's fighting for her
life. I killed a woman

I love more than life itself.

You know I'm going to have to arrest you
now, don't you?

It'll be for months, though, that's all
I wanted.

I never wanted to kill her.

Deborah.

You laid a trap, Peg.

That makes it premeditated.

And you killed a woman. That makes it
murder.

I'm dropping these back.

I don't think any of them are really
suitable.

What's that?

Oh, funeral poems. Well, the internet's
good for that sort of thing.

Oh, I know.

I go to a lot of funerals, don't I?

Occupational hazard.

I suppose you think I'm very hard
-hearted not visiting her in hospital.

not my business, love. She was a
difficult girl.

And a lot of people loved her.

I think Brian probably was a little
cruel.

I was a girl, I didn't know any better.

But we were probably not as kind to her
as we could have been.

Do you pay for it now, though?

Not as much as his daughter paid, love.

You've taken him in for processing.

This was someone's idea of the future.

New towns, new hope.

Look, there's somewhere I need to be,
Pet.

Can you get yourself home?

Will do.

Make sure social services keep an eye.

The next couple of months are going to
be really hard on all of them.
