Mom? Mom?

Oh, for crying out loud.

Found us then. Shut up.

Who lives around here? It's like a
bloody maze.

A quiet maze.

Good schools, low crime rate.

Not that low, apparently.

So come on, take me through it.

Her victim's name is Alison Glenn.

43 -year -old housewife.

She was found dead in the back garden at
7 o 'clock this morning.

Seems like someone decided to crack open
her skull.

Who found the body?

Her son, Elliot.

What age?

Ten.

Was there no one else in the house?

Big sister, Molly, 15.

She's the one who called it in.

And where are they now?

Across the road at a friend's house. We
got a chat with them. Right.

Kids went to bed at nine.

Mum stayed up.

Neither of them said they heard anything
through the night.

Husband's a prison officer at
Greenpoint. He was at work.

Those patio doors, they closed or opened
when the lad found her? Opened.

Forced? They're intact.

There's no sign of any struggle.

Annoying here, no.

There's no prizes for guessing the cause
of death. We're looking at a blunt

force trauma wound to the back of the
skull. No, struck from behind.

That would be my opinion.

How many blows?

More than one, less than ten.

Someone saw red then.

She put up a fight.

No sign of any defence wounds.

What about weapon?

If you look here, there are particles of
stone embedded in the wound and hair.

So we're looking for a stone or a rock.

That one's been removed.

That could well be our murder weapon.
And if it was, they improvised.

She wasn't scared.

What? Well, she was dressed for bed.

Lured out here.

And whoever or whatever it was, she
wasn't afraid of it.

Go on.

I mean, that time of night, no husband,
kids upstairs, most women would say

push.

Lock the door, maybe even call us. But
not her.

She came right out here to meet us.

Which means...

She knew her killer.

Exactly.

Let's go talk to those bands.

How did they run up?

I think they're still in shock.

Who's that?

Ashadabra, family friend.

Seems she and the victim were close.

Well, you talk to her.

I'll handle the kids.

My name's Vera Stanhope.

And I'm a police officer.

I'm very sorry about your ma 'am.

Now, I know it's hard, but I am going to
have to ask you some questions.

All right?

She admitted.

Wasn't she?

I'm afraid right now that is what it
looked like, Pet.

Now, my sergeant tells me you were both
home last night. Is that right?

Did either of you see what happened?

We were asleep.

Oh, yeah. You were both up in bed at
nine.

Yeah.

It's a terrible shock.

Just awful.

I mean, you don't expect this kind of
thing to happen in Larchford. I can't

believe it, can we, Sahil?

Were you friends with Mrs Glenn? Yeah,
we worked together.

Well, I worked, Alison volunteered.

Volunteered where?

At the Larchford Day Centre, near the
library. It's a drop -in centre for

pensioners, tea and bingo mostly.

When was the last time you spoke to
Alison?

Yesterday morning, at the centre. She
was working up until lunchtime.

Either of you see anyone last night in
the street?

Hear anything?

And can you think of anyone who would
want to harm Mrs Glenn?

To hell?

Okay, I need you to think hard. Did your
mom see my usual self?

Do you mean we're acting like she might
get murdered sometime soon?

I know this is hard.

And I know you're upset.

But if I'm going to find out who did
this to your mom, I'm going to need your

help. All right?

Hmm?

How did your man seem over the past
couple of weeks?

It was just... Mom.

Our mom.

I need it outside.

I need it outside. I need it outside.

I need it outside.

I need it outside.

I need it outside.

Now they need...

Their dad.

Okay.

I left at about 6 .30 last night.

And how was your wife?

Fine. That was the last time you spoke?

No. I sent her a text about eight, just
checking in for the night.

And she replied to your text?

Aye.

She told me to bring home milk.

Michael, can you think of anyone who
might have wanted to do this?

Everyone liked Alison.

Lots of friends, they... Her and Asha
were sort of close. At least they used

be. Did something happen between them?

Asha and Karim, that's Asha's husband,
they divorced about a year ago.

Asha's been a bit funny.

Since then, her and Alison drifted
apart.

What about her family?

She never knew her parents.

She was adopted?

No, grew up in care.

How long have you worked at Greenpoint?

About 15 years.

You ever had any trouble there?

There's always trouble there.

Could what happened to your wife be
somehow connected to the prison?

No, no, definitely not.

You're sure of that?

Positive.

Okay, then, Michael, that's it for now.

I'm afraid you won't be able to go back
to your house until my officers have

finished their work.

Now, is there somewhere you and the kids
can stay?

Right.

I want to see Alison.

I will make arrangements.

I want to see her today.

Jonathan Glenn, 43, your typical middle
-class suburban wife.

Caused her death, blunt force trauma to
the back of her head.

Nice house, nice kids, nice life.

There's no obvious motive at the moment,
but someone had a reason.

Now, there's two things to take from the
crime scene.

One, the killer improvised. We think he
used a rock from the garden.

which suggests this was opportunistic
rather than premeditated.

Have we found this rock yet? Still
searching.

Now, the second thing is the location,
the back garden.

I think our victim knew her killer,
which prompts the question...

Why didn't they use the front door?

Correct. Now then, come on, wake up. I
want to know everything about her life.

Mark, all the usual things, bank
statements, phone logs, emails, social

Kenny, draw me up a timeline. I want to
know everything she did right up until

last night.

And Jack, talk to the neighbours.

And we'll check out the husband's work.

Now, he's adamant prison was not a
factor, but let's not rule that out.

What? That was Greenpoint Prison.

And? They said Michael Glenn wasn't at
work last night.

And you will leave.

You lied to us, Michael.

I didn't lie.

You never actually asked if I was at
work last night.

You were in your uniform, Michael.

I just found out my wife was dead.

I wasn't exactly thinking straight.

So where were you?

At a pub with my brother, Jason.

I stayed over at his place.

So, now, here's the thing. You booked
last night off a week ago, and your wife

and kids thought you were at work, and
you left the house yesterday evening

dressed for the part.

So, if you were just going to the pub
with your brother, why all the cloak and

dagger?

I didn't want Alan to know.

Why not?

About six years ago,

We had trouble getting credit.

Turns out Jason had been applying for
loans using our address.

Took ages to sort out.

Alison pretty much washed her hands of
him.

Well, they had her done the same.

But you didn't.

I wish I had.

At least then I would have been at home
with Alison last night.

Maybe he made an honest mistake.

Maybe, maybe not.

Oh, come on, he's not stupid.

He would have known that we'd check if
he was at work, and if he was planning

using the false alibi, then he would
have picked one that wasn't so easy to

crack. Look, nothing about this murder
suggests it was planned.

Maybe it was just buying more time to
concoct an alibi with his brother.

You've got a tendency to think the worst
of people, you do know that. Yeah,

well, it stops me from being
disappointed.

You can't leave them there.

I'm going to take them home. But when?

I've been lying there for a week. Jason
Glenn?

Who wants to know?

DCI Bearest Dan Hope, this is DS Healy.

Can we have a word inside?

Hold on.

When did this happen?

Sometime last night.

Michael never told you?

What?

I don't know.

My phone's been off.

Ah, bloody hell.

Seven missed calls.

Is Michael all right?

Oh, God.

The kids.

I should go and see him. No, there's
time for that, Mr Glenn. Right now, I

to ask you some questions.

Like, where were you last night?

I was out with Michael.

Were you with him all night?

Yeah. Turned up about seven.

Went down the Admiralty, the pub off
Carroll Street. Game was on.

What time do you leave?

Throwing out time.

Like midnight.

Do you go on anywhere else?

No, we just come back home.

What about this morning?

When I got up, he'd already gone.

I just assumed he'd gone home.

Now, Michael tells us you and Alison
didn't get on too well. Is that right?

Look, I'll hold my hands up and I'll
admit I've caused a bit of trouble

for Michael and Alison in the past, but
I don't think that was the real reason

Alison didn't like us.

So what was the real reason?

She was jealous.

Of you?

Of me and Michael.

She could never...

understand how close we are.

Don't always get on, but we always stand
by each other.

She didn't get that.

And how did Michael feel about that?

Well, I mean, he loved her, obviously.

I'd do anything for her, but, er...
Alison had to be in control of

I think that was a strain for him.

I don't trust that Jason as far as I can
throw him.

But we may have to consider the fact
that Alison had Nigel on a tight leash.

Was Bailey with him packed?

Well, that's about a weak motive, isn't
it?

Well, it's not about motivation.

It's about opportunity. And right now,
Jason is back in his brother's alibi.

Aye. Which is why I want you two down
the Admiral pub asking questions. Make

sure they were both there.

Do you talk to the neighbours?

Got one guy said he saw a red hatchback
parked near the Glenn house, round about

ten o 'clock.

Registration? No, but he said it was
old, had a broken headlight right -hand

side. Well, see if you can chase it up.

Kenny, timeline?

Um, yeah, Alison Glenn had a shift at
the day centre yesterday, left about

picked up Elliot from school, had
another appointment with her daughter's

foreign teacher at four.

And what was that about?

Unsure.

But Alison made the appointment that
morning, so it could have been something

urgent.

I want to talk to that teacher.

OK.

Mum? What?

I've been trying to contact the victim's
dad, but there's no number for him.

And that's because he doesn't exist.

No, she was brought up in care.

No, she had family.

Dad, Robert Nesby.

Brother, Tom.

Mam, Anne -Marie. I'm still trying to
trick her.

Her dad and brother live in Corbridge?

Yeah, past 30 years.

You must have made a mistake.

No mistake, Michael.

Alison didn't have a family.

Her mother died when she was a baby. She
was brought up in a care home.

Which care home?

I don't know.

Someplace outside Newcastle. She never
really spoke about it. It was difficult

for her.

Look, I don't know who these people are.

Looking for Robert Nesby?

That's me dad.

What's he about?

He shouldn't be here.

He doesn't like it when people come
round.

We're not just people, we're police.

Are you?

I want to be a policeman.

Are you Tom Nesby?

Tom, suit's ready.

Put that inside.

Wherever you've got to say, say it
quick.

You're trespassing.

Well, we need to talk to you about your
daughter.

Alison.

Appreciate you coming out here.

But we already know about Alison.

Heard it on the news this morning.

When did you last see your daughter?

25 years ago.

When she walked out on me and her
brother.

Why she walk out?

Never said.

Well, she must have had a reason.

Suppose she must have.

But now we'll never know what it was.

Looks like they've made contact with
her. Nope.

She only lived half an hour away.

So the bloke on the news said.

How about you, Tom?

No point in asking him.

And why's that?

He doesn't understand things.

How about her ma 'am? Was she and Alison
close?

I doubt it.

She ran out on us ten years before
Alison did.

Know where we can find her? No.

Mr. Nerdbean.

Alison had a family.

Husband, children.

You've got a couple of grandkids.

Oh, dear.

I know you're just doing your job.

But she stopped being a part of our
family the day she walked out.

We won't be grieving her.

And we've got no interest in seeing her
family.

If you're done, you can go.

One last question, Mr. Nesby.

Where were you last night?

We were here.

We're always here.

Now we know why Alison Glenn told her
husband she was an orphan.

I mean, who'd want a dad like him?

Yeah, maybe.

But there again, denying his existence,
that's over the top, isn't it? I don't

know.

Charlie's got a big brother, and her and
her family, they haven't spoken to him

in a decade.

Yeah, but you know he exists. I bet she
doesn't go around saying she's an only

child. I suppose.

25 years ago, Alison walked out. And his
anger is still as strong.

Check old man Nesby out.

I'll drop you back at the station.

Where are you going?

Back to school.

Of course, we were all very shocked to
hear about Mrs. Flynn.

Of course.

Do we know what happened to her?

It's early days yet, sir.

Molly's form teacher.

Do you see I stand up? Tina Brennan.

So, how can we help?

Alison Glenn arranged a meeting here at
the school yesterday.

Yeah, she came to see me.

Was she worried about Molly?

Mrs. Glenn had some concerns about her
and another pupil in her class.

Sahil Dabra.

The lad who lived on her street?

Yeah, she felt Sahil had developed an
unhealthy interest in Molly.

Unhealthy? What does that mean?

Well, obviously, we're dealing with
teenagers.

What's for hormones?

Crushes, infatuations, pass the course.

However, Sahil's feelings for Molly are
unusually intense.

It's probably just a phase.

Even so... We agreed to Mrs. Leonard's
request to have Molly moved to another

class as a precaution.

As a precaution to what?

About a month ago, Molly had a bit of an
altercation with a pupil in year nine.

When Sir Hill found out about it, he
attacked the lad outside of school.

Sir Hill shattered the boy's jaw.

Headmaster said Fahil Dabra was a model
student until last year when his parents

divorced. Since then he's been trouble.

Lost interest in his studies, gets in
the scraps.

Even so, it is a bit of a jump to go
from school bad boy to cold -blooded

killer.

I bet she wasn't killed in cold blood,
was she? It's a crime of passion.

And there's now more passionate than a
teenager in love.

set up before going to school. Right
now, he's helping us design a website

the centre.

The police want to speak to you. Are we
just heading off? No, we won't keep you

long, Peck. Just wanted to chat about
your relationship with Molly. He has no

time for relationships. He's far too
busy with his studies.

Molly and me are friends.

Ah, now, your headmaster thinks you'd
like it to be a bit more than that.

Says you've got quite the cross.

That must have been hard, you feel, in
the way you do about the lass.

And then her ma 'am disapproved of you
like that.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Mrs. Glenn complained to the school
about the hill's obsession with Molly.

Obsession? That's ridiculous.

He's known the girl most of his life.

I had no problem with Mrs. Glenn.

Even though she was trying to get Molly
moved out of your class at school?

Nothing I could do about that. Could
have tried talking to her. Well, I

Why not?

Because I wasn't that bothered.

When did you last see Mrs. Glenn? Can't
remember.

Did you see her the night she died?

Sahil was with me all night, and neither
of us left the house.

I don't know where you're getting all of
this from.

Sahil's a good boy, and now he's late
for school.

That lad's got a lot of anger.

He has to see his ma 'am.

Do you think she'd cover him for him?

I think she would if she had to.

Here you are.

Kenny's got something for us.

Nice.

Michael Glenn lied.

Again. Barman at the Admiral.

He confirmed Jason and Michael arrived
at 7 .30, but Michael left at 9.

Said he didn't return to last orders.

But we've got a cab driver that picked
him up and dropped him off at an address

in South Hughes.

Audrey Latham.

She's registered to the address.

Michael's still at his brother's flat. I
can pick him up if you want.

No. Let's go and talk to this Audrey
first, before we talk to Michael.

Come on.

Audrey Latham?

Yes.

No pet.

Never seen him before.

Are you sure about that?

Only with a witness, says this fella
visited you.

Two nights ago, and in the evening,
about ten.

No pet.

Nobody visits me, unless you count the
health visitor, but she's not been round

in weeks.

What about the name, Michael Glenn?

I knew a Joyce Glenn. We were good
friends, but she emigrated way back.

Canada now. I think she does.

Anybody else live here?

Not me.

Husband?

He's not there, love.

So two nights ago, a fella did not come
here.

Even if he had, I wouldn't have let him
in.

Can't be letting strange men in here.

I'll get myself a reputation.

Tried a few doors down the street.

Nobody had a visit from Michael. I never
even heard of him.

What are you doing out here?

Maybe you like the view.

It was dark. There was no view.

Talk to that cab driver again. Make sure
he gave us the right address.

And check out Audrey, too.

See if there's any connection at all to
Michael Glenn.

And in the meantime, I'll talk to him
again.

What time was that?

I'll be there as soon as I can.

That's Molly. She's in the hospital.

What's happened?

I don't know.

The maintenance did.

Well, come on. I'll give you a lift.

I need a talk to your brother anyway.

Alcohol poisoning.

Police found her collapsed in the town
centre.

Seems she drank her weight in vodka
there at the pump her stomach.

Bloody hell.

Has she ever done anything like that
before?

Normally I'd say no, but ever since
she's been hanging around with Sahil...

Sahil was with her?

Aye. Till the police turned up, then he
ran off and left her like a bloody

coward.

I need to go and see her.

I will look after Elliot.

How was she thinking?

She'll be grieving her mum not going out
and getting smashed out of her head.

Yeah, well, maybe that is her grieving.

Yeah. Well, she should be thinking about
Michael, trying to help him.

Is that what you were doing when we last
spoke?

Because yesterday you told me both of
you were in the pub all night.

Hello, mate.

Why don't you go and get yourself some
chocolate?

She's just over there.

Right, he might have popped out for a
bit.

Oh,

it's more than a bit, love.

I've got a cab driver tells me he took
him down to South Shield and brought him

back to.

But Michael didn't get to the pub until
almost closing.

I didn't notice.

You didn't notice your own brother
leaving the pub for three hours?

Look, if you want to know where he was,
go and ask him.

Jason.

Oh, let me guess.

It's eating your money.

It didn't drop.

There you go.

You didn't see that.

Where's Mum?

Your mum.

She's with a friend of mine.

And he's going to find out why she died.

He finds a pathologist?

Yeah, he is, and you're a very bright
young man.

They don't think I am.

Think I'm stupid, won't tell me
anything.

Just give me chocolate.

Well, anything you want to know, just
ask me.

I'll tell you if I can.

Is it bad to break a promise?

Well, that depends.

On what?

Well, on why you're breaking it.

I mean, sometimes you have to, don't
you?

But that's the right thing to do.

There was a man.

What man?

Day before Mum died.

Big shop near the house.

He frightened her.

As soon as the mum saw him, she went
white.

I could feel her shaking.

Whoever that fellow was, he scared the
hell out of Alison.

Elliot said they practically ran from
the shop.

Excuse me, love.

DCI Stan Hope, Northumberland and City
Police.

We need to see your CCTV footage.

Can you open that back door for us?

Longed for footage three days ago, early
afternoon.

Mother and son.

Are they right? That's Hamilton.

Here we go.

Stop it there.

I've already told you.

Well, I haven't seen her in over 25
years.

Or maybe you haven't seen her.

But Tom saw Alison last week while he
was doing a bit of shopping.

What?

I'm sorry, Dad.

You stupid... Hey, hey, hey!

That's enough, sir!

That's enough!

He's my son!

Get off me!

Get your hands off me!

I need you to keep calm, sir.

You can't speak to him on his own.

He doesn't know what he's saying, man.

Tom?

Are you going to sit up and talk to me?

It's all right, Pet. He's gone now.

See, I think you went to see Alison just
to say hello.

After all, she was your big sister,
wasn't she?

And you hadn't seen each other in a long
while.

But what I don't get, though, is how did
you know where she was?

I saw a picture.

I found it at the swimming pool.

I go there every Tuesday.

Terry, my key worker, he takes me.

Well, you've got a sharp eye.

How'd you get there?

I took a bus.

I took two buses.

Did you?

Yeah.

Did you see Alison?

So what did you do?

I wanted juice.

So I went to the shop.

The big one that I saw when I got off
the bus.

The 31.

And when I was there, I... I saw Alison.

And the boy.

His name's Elliot.

Yeah.

Well, I saw them.

And I said... Hello, Alison.

It's me.

But she didn't say hello back.

She just turned away and left.

I think she was angry with me.

So what did you do then?

I just come home.

I still miss her.

I know you do, Pet.

Listen, speak to social services again.

See if we can talk to whoever worked
with Tom when he was a lad, when Alison

still at home.

That's over 20 years ago.

Yeah, I want to know why she left.

Sometimes kids just run away.

Aye, and maybe they lie a bit.

about where they're from, but that's not
what Alison Glenn did.

She told everyone she loved she was an
orphan.

She erased her family, wiped them off
the board.

And that's a different kind of lie.

That's angry.

That's emotional.

And that's cold.

Get us another one, Pet.

I've only found 20.

But just... No changes.

Not rushed up their feet, are they?

You've done, then?

Reports behind you. Anything we don't
already know?

She died from a massive trauma caused by
a blow to the back of her skull.

Estimated time of death between ten and
four on the night.

So that'll be a no, then.

Is this here evidence of historical
scarring?

Yeah, on her wrist.

We've long since healed.

How old are the scars?

20 years, maybe more.

Alison Glenn made an attempt on her own
life sometime in her late teens.

Now, something happened on that Nairsby
farm, and I want to know what it was.

Maybe Chris Harwin can tell us.

Who's Chris Harwin?

He's a social worker you asked me to
find.

The one assigned to Tom Nairsby when
Alison was at home.

That will set me up with a meeting
today.

Red Hatchback, how we doing?

No one on the Larchford estate has a car
match in that description.

And none of our suspects do either.

What, are there traffic cameras?

The nearest one's about a mile away, but
without the registration... Mum, I've

got something here, though. What?

A cache of deleted emails we found on
Alison Glenn's laptop.

There's probably about 20 or so.

All of them spent in the last month, but
the last one, this one here, spent on

the night she was killed.

Most of them are just abusive, but this
one ups the ante.

I'll make sure that mouth of yours is
shut for good. Do we know who sent this?

Email account's fake.

What about the IP address?

Yeah, they're working on it.

Well, tell them to work faster.

Come on.

Quite the career change, Mr. Holman.

And I'm all the happier for it.

What made you leave social work?

It wasn't for me.

I was young.

Too much of an idealist.

Thought it could make a difference.

His family's like the Nairs, but he's
proved to me it could never change

anything.

How long were you with him?

About eight months, all in.

I joined the department in 1990.

Tom Nesby was one of my first clients.

What about Alison?

I didn't have much to do with her.

You remember her, though?

I remember she was quiet and Tom was
very attached to her.

He'd have taken her death very hard.

Oh,

pathologist.

Thinks Alison tried to kill herself.

God, really?

When?

Oh, way back. Right about the time you
were with them.

I had no idea.

Did you ever get a sense she was
unhappy?

No, I mean, to be honest, I was so
focused on Tom, I never really paid

that much attention.

She ran away. Did you know that?

Well, that was after my time. I only
found out through a colleague.

I didn't have to ask.

Her father would have driven her away.

Mark, have you got that IP address?

Yeah, matches with the Larchford Day
Centre.

Those emails came from there.

Are you sure? Are you sure about that?

Positive.

The emails came from here, traced to the
computer in your office.

Well, people come and go in there all
the time. Anyone could have sent them.

Oh, I see. So all the old codgers have
access to the office, do they?

They all know how to make false email
accounts, and I suppose they've all got

grudge against Alison Glenn.

No, of course they haven't, so that
leaves you and your son.

You have to understand, Sahil's been
having a hard time recently.

Because Alison didn't want him hanging
around with Molly.

I don't know what he sees in that girl.
She's trouble.

Alison didn't know half the stuff she
got up to.

You think yesterday's drunk episode was
a one -off. It's nothing to what that

girl's capable of.

But yes, he does have feelings for her.

He's a very sensitive boy.

Well, there wasn't much sensitivity in
those emails you sent to our ma 'am. He

didn't mean anything by them. He was
lashing out. He wasn't serious.

Where is Sahil?

At home. He's not feeling very well.

Right, well, I'll have Uniform pick him
up, bring him to the station.

The station? You can't arrest him. Look,
love, you're welcome to come down and

wait for him.

Well, your mum tells me you're feeling
under the weather, Sahil.

Still, don't suppose you're feeling as
bad as Molly does.

Though her dad's not impressed with you
getting his daughter drunk. I didn't get

her drunk.

I was trying to get a home safe.

Then why did you abandon her?

She told me to leave.

Said she didn't want to hang around with
us anymore.

How did that make you feel?

Fine. Better off out of it.

She's always getting us into trouble.

You do a good job of that yourself,
mate.

Everyone wants to pay me out as his
troublemaker.

I guess it's easier.

But the truth is, I haven't done half
the things that they have done.

No?

Well, how about sending abusive emails?

Loads of them.

They were sent to Molly's mum from the
computer at the day centre.

Now, whoever sent these definitely had a
problem with Alison Glenn.

Do you send them?

OK, thank you.

You don't want to talk.

It's OK.

Just so you know, there's an officer at
your house at the moment going through

your things.

OK, I'll send them.

They're with me.

Why did you send them?

Don't know.

Was it because of you and Molly?

And because Alison interfered? It was
none of her business.

Of course it's her business. Molly's her
daughter.

That's what mams do. They look out for
their kids.

And let's face it, she was right to be
concerned about you, wasn't she? If you

were sending these... Look, I sent them.
I read. I've admitted it.

So why don't you just do whatever it is
you need to do?

I can't work him out.

You must have to work out. I've got a
temper. He's violent.

Yeah, but he's got it bad for that last
time. I just can't see him doing

anything to hurt her.

Hmm.

Anyway, moot point.

If his mum says he was at home that
night... Talking of alibis, you

do any digging into that Audrey Latham?
Nothing doing. No connection to Michael

Glenn.

Although, interestingly enough, our
Audrey was a casino croupier.

Oh.

Place your bets.

Which one?

What?

Which casino?

A Regal, I think. Clothes now.

Aidan, get me a coat.

Why?

We're going out.

The Regal Casino was owned by Brian
Delaney.

He fancied himself as a crime lord.

Dealt mainly in drugs and gambling.

But he was forced out by a rival.

A rival that he took care of.

So Delaney's a murderer?

Aye. And guess which prison he's in.

How's she doing?

We kept her in overnight.

Precaution. They're giving her the
dangers of alcohol speech right now.

Well, we need to have a little chat,
Michael.

Look, I've heard that speech. It's been
on for months.

You've got time.

What's the problem?

Well, the problem is Brian Delaney.

Want to tell us about him?

It's not what you think it is.

Well, why don't you tell me what it is?

A few months back, Jason got himself
into trouble.

What sort of trouble?

Debt, a lot of it.

He owed Delaney.

I couldn't help him. We didn't have that
sort of money. So anyway, one day,

Delaney gets word of me in prison.

Makes me an offer.

A chance to work off Jason's debt fast,
like.

You were smuggling for him?

Nothing that isn't going in and out of
Greenpoint on a daily basis.

So why use Audrey Latham?

That was Delaney's idea. I told him I
didn't want to deal with any of his

What happened the other night?

Delaney changed the game.

I thought I was picking up phones.

Instead, Audrey, she hands over drugs.

Not even sure what it was, but I told
her I wasn't interested and I walked

You should have told us this before, Mr.
Glenn.

This is not connected to Alison.

Not connected?

You're backed out of a deal you made
with a known criminal.

And not just any criminal.

Brian Delaney.

And a few hours later, your wife is
dead.

Not connected.

You should have told us, Michael.

You must have found something.

Of course they haven't.

Audrey, where are they?

With what?

Why are you doing this?

Come on, Audrey.

Delaney get him picked up, did he?

Oh, Delaney.

The fella who's waiting for thee.

I've no idea how they got there.

Oh, Audrey, Lord. I'm telling you, what
do I need with pills other than the ones

that the doctor gave me for my heart?
Oh, that's enough.

Now, you've put on a good show, pet.
I'll give you that.

But don't test my patience. Do you
understand me?

Good.

Now, when did Delaney contact you?

A couple of months back.

He sent a lad round.

I don't know his name.

And he wanted you to act as a go
-between, is that right?

Asked Dr Michael Glenn.

They'd drop it off in the morning and
he'd come and collect it later.

I needed the money, Pet.

20 years I worked those tables and in
the end I came out with nothing.

I thought it was just phones.

It wasn't just phones, though, was it?

The other night, when Michael refused to
pick up those pills,

what did you do?

Nothing.

He just left.

Did you make a call?

Audrey, did you call Delaney?

Audrey Latham made a call to an
unregistered number at 11 .10 the night

was killed.

She called Delaney in prison just after
Michael Glenn left her house.

Delaney phone anyone after that? We're
checking his court history.

So we're saying he arranged a hit on
Michael Glenn's wife?

He's got the contacts.

Aye, but even so, why go after the wife
of a prison officer?

To make Michael cooperate.

Yeah, but killing his wife's hardly
going to make him toe the line, is it?

And he'd have no trouble finding someone
else to bring the drugs in.

This just doesn't look like Delaney's
work. Too messy.

Kenny! See if you can get hold of
Delaney's solicitor.

It's a long shot, but let's see if
Delaney will grant us an interview.

Will do.

Ma 'am, you're going to want to hear
this.

Search team's been through Sahil Dabra's
computer and phone.

They didn't find any more emails, but
they did find this. A message left on

voicemail. 9 .50, night of the murder.

That's traffic noise in the background.

You told me you were in bed.

I went out for a walk.

Ah, nice try.

Okay.

When is your friend?

Now, why didn't you tell us this before?

I didn't think it mattered.

Ah, come on. You're smarter than that,
love.

What were you arguing about?

Must have been about something.

She, er... She found some photos on me
phone.

It was like a party. I'd been drinking
at it.

And your mum gave you hell.

Quite right, too.

She wouldn't let up.

I had to get out, so after tea I sneaked
out.

What time did you get back?

About 11.

And what did your mum say?

I got back in the same way I got out.

I didn't know I was gone.

So you didn't see your mum at all?

No.

But I could hear her.

She was in the kitchen load and the
dishwasher.

I wish I'd gone downstairs.

I wish I'd gone down there and screamed
at her.

Called her for everything.

I wish I'd told her I hated her.

Then she might still be here.

Now, you're not in any trouble, Pat.

But I am going to need two things from
you, okay?

First... No more lies, if that
understood.

And then I want the name of your friend.

Okay.

Okay.

Right, let's go through it again.

Yes, Molly came to see me.

At your home?

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Honestly, I was worried about how it
looked.

A pupil turning up at my flat in the
middle of the night.

Aye, and not just any pupil.

The daughter of a murder victim who
happens to be with you the night her mam

killed. You're right.

And I am sorry.

Why'd she come to see you?

She'd had an argument with her mam. Aye,
but why did she come to you?

The past few weeks, we've been working
on the show together.

We've got to know each other, I suppose.

So what happened when she turned up?

Well, I told her she couldn't stay, and
then I called her a taxi.

That time of night, why didn't you drive
her home? Because I don't drive.

I mean, my husband does, but he was
working.

And even if I did, I wouldn't have taken
Molly home.

Why not?

Mrs. Glenn was very protective of her.

I doubt she would have enjoyed my
involvement.

You were scared of her?

Frankly, yeah.

How does Molly feel about Sahil?

How do you mean?

Well, she called him before she came
round to yours, which suggests she

share her mam's feelings about the boy.

Well, Sahil can be intense, but to be
honest, I think Molly likes him.

So you don't see it as a problem?

Well, I'm not condoning his assault on
another pupil, but Sahil has had a lot

his plate recently.

Ah, well, he can't be the only kid in
the school whose parents have divorced.

It's not just the divorce.

Why? What else is there?

So Hill's dad's going after custody?

Has been for the past year.

Wasn't to go and live with him in
London.

He's a rich man.

He could win his case.

What are you doing?

No, I'm doing my fish pie.

Royal visit.

Charlie's mum.

She's coming over for dinner tonight.

How does Sir Hill feel about moving to
the Big Smoke with his dad?

Well, he doesn't want to go.

That's why he's been acting up at
school.

It's just frustration.

But the thing is, his dad's been getting
a weekly report from the school. He

wants to prove the lad's not thriving
under his mum's care.

And now he's been arrested for sending
abusive emails to Alison Glenn. Right,

well, they'll have a field day with
that.

Sounds like a microwave special.

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Easier than fapping about with fish.

Hey, believe me, I'm happy for the fat.

Anything to keep me out of the way of
her and her mum.

What, you think?

I'll have to sit there listening to them
sniping at one another the whole night,

and then when I do try and play
peacemaker, they close ranks and start

Never get between my wife and her
mother. She'll always stick up for her.

She's here.

I'd better go.

I like a knife.

You again.

Sahil's in his room. He won't come out.
The rest of it's traumatising.

Tell me, do you enjoy destroying young
men's futures, DCI Stanhope?

Well, I just came to let you know we
won't be pressing charges against Sahil.

Really? Why the change of heart?

Because he didn't send the emails.

Like you got her handed to him.

He did you proud.

Confessing it was you who sent them.

That's preposterous.

Well, Alison was supposed to be your
friend, wasn't she?

And yet she was always up at the school
complaining about the hill.

That must have hurt.

They were going after your boy like
that.

Especially when she knew how hard you
were fighting your ex -husband for

custody.

I asked her. I begged her to stop going
to the school, to come to me about the

hill.

But she kept going.

You know, she wanted Karim to win.

She wanted me to lose my son.

I was so bloody angry with her. I just,
you just sent death threats.

and then sat back and let Sahil take the
blame. You threw your son under a bus,

love. I had to.

I couldn't admit to it.

Karim's lawyers would have a field day.
I'd lose custody like that.

Well, I don't fancy your chances now. He
took everything from me when we

divorced.

And now he wants to take the only thing
that I've got left.

Mum.

Sahil, I'm sorry.

Sahil, you should have told us the
truth.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Just didn't want me mum getting in
trouble, do you know?

I know.

Was she getting in trouble, I mean?

Well, I'll do what I can, pet.

Thanks. But I want something in return.

No more trouble at school, Sahil.

Keep your head down, OK?

You're causing your mum more grief.

Go to bed.

DCI Stanhope, I want to tame to 17
Claremont Drive immediately.

He'll be angry. He doesn't like it when
I'm out.

Ah, we'll get you home, dear Dad, just
as soon as we've finished our little

chat.

So, why did you go to Alison's house?

I wanted to say hello to my family.

The one you told Dad about.

The little boy and girl.

Because I'm their uncle, see?

I thought they'd met me.

And they saw how nice I am to them.

Maybe I could go and live with them.

Well, breaking into their house wasn't
very nice, was it?

I didn't mean to.

The glass just broke.

Please, don't tell them it was me, will
you?

Well, I'll try and keep it under me half
-pest.

If you can answer me one last question.

How did you know where Alison lived?

Cos when we spoke before, you said you
bumped into her in the supermarket.

And then you said you didn't see her any
more after that.

I followed her.

You followed her.

Why would he do it?

Seems to me that he doted on his sister.

Oh, what's your blood?

Had his heart set on joining her family.
She's having none of it.

Equal rejection for someone like him. So
what shall we do with him?

We'll just have to keep him here till we
track down his dad.

There, he's bringing his step there,
Kenny.

Ah, the lady agreed to that, have you?

Must be DCI, Sam Humber.

Well, thanks for agreeing to see me.

No need for thanks.

We're all upset about Mr. Glenn's wife.
Shocking.

We know Michael Glenn was bringing in
contraband on your behalf.

Who's who?

Well, him, for one.

And, oh, Audrey Leeson.

Now, there's a blast.

Always a handful, was Audrey.

Great girl, but you couldn't trust a
word she said.

But... No, let's not pretend.

This place has problems.

Like I said, things come in, things go
out.

There's just no stopping it.

But I've never asked anyone to bring in
anything for me.

So if that's why you're here, we're all
done.

Audrey Latham called you on the night
that Alison Glenn was killed.

I don't have a telephone.

Yes, you do, Pat. The one you use to
coordinate your smuggling rackets.

Frankly, I don't care what you bring in
here, but I am interested in what you

did after Audrey's call.

Now you're way off base.

I know it's extreme, but then you do
have history, Brian.

I think we're finished here.

I'll find out.

We're checking your call history as we
speak.

I'll tell you what, though.

I feel sorry for that poor sod, Glenn.

There he is waiting for justice, and you
lot don't have a bloody clue.

On top of that, his brother's useless
and his daughter's a drunk.

I thought, well, I had it bad.

Thank you.

Kenny got the call history on Delaney's
phone.

And? Five minutes after Audrey called
him, he made an outgoing call to another

number. Yeah? Guess who?

Jason Glenn.

Yeah. How did you know that?

Hello, love.

They're not in.

Will you do where they are?

Beach cafe.

I just passed them. Thank you.

He's a snake, you know.

I'll bet he hasn't told you. What's
that?

She was round here a week ago.

Who was?

His sister -in -law.

Arguing about something. Oh, the racket
they made.

Jason's sister -in -law? Was here?

Yeah. The woman in the papers.

I've got to go.

I'll be back in a bit.

Now's not the time.

Alison, she came to your flat last week.
What did she want?

I must have been home.

We're not stupid, Pet.

Your neighbour heard the round.

You know what?

I don't have to tell you what she
wanted.

What did she want, Jason?

All right, fine.

I was going to tell you, but you've had
a lot on, so... Alison came by.

She wanted to talk to me about you.

And we had some words.

What did she want?

Well, I'm guessing she found out you
were working for Delaney.

Your wife was a smart woman.

Knew you only too well.

Did Alison know?

She thought I had something to do with
it.

Thought I could stop it.

I told her it wasn't me, Michael.

I told her it was between you and
Delaney.

I've never even met the man.

No.

You have spoken to him, though, haven't
you, Pet?

He called you the night Alison died.

Now, what did he want?

Nothing.

He wouldn't call you unless he had a
reason.

OK, look, he knew that he'd backed out
and was livid and he wanted me to have a

word, but I told him, Michael, I told
him I'm standing by my brother.

Did you talk about Alison?

Nah.

Like, maybe I might have said that she
wasn't best pleased, but... Did you go

the house?

Nah. I mean, of course not.

OK, look, maybe I said too much, but
come on, Michael, this is the lady that

we're talking about. I'm sorry, I was
scared.

Scared?

You weren't that scared.

You and him have been calling each other
for months.

What? According to Delaney's phone
records, these two have been in contact

each other for at least six months.

I don't get it.

He was setting you up, Michael.

There was no death, was there?

Hmm?

Michael. But you told your brother there
was, because that's the only way you

could get him to work for Delaney.

Michael, I didn't know I was going to
turn up like this. Believe me. Look,

whatever's coming, I deserve it.

You've got to be right.

Michael?

Michael, wait!

How much did Delaney pay you?

Nothing. I was scared.

I didn't do it!

I didn't kill her! You just don't get
it, do you, Jason?

I shouldn't have called that night.

Protecting my wife.

My family.

Instead, I was with my brother.

It's not worth it, Michael.

Because I thought he needed my help.

But you were just helping yourself.

They're processing Jason now.

What's he saying?

He wants to talk to his brother.

Well, good luck with that. Mum, you need
it downstairs.

Robert Nesby's here and he's kicking
off.

Aidan. I want to see my son. You've got
no right keeping him here. Where is he?

That is enough. Hand him over.

Calm yourself, Robert.

I want my son.

He's safe, sir. I want to see my son.

You get him out here now. I need you to
be calm, okay? He needs me. Mr Nesby.

Please.

Is that your car, Robert?

How come you kept the car in your wife's
name all this time?

You expect her not to come back?

No comment.

Well, see, this here, Robert, that puts
you close to our crime scene round about

the time Alison was killed.

No comment.

Did Tom tell you he followed Alison home
from here?

So we knew where she lived.

Only about half an hour away.

Hey, that must have wrangled her running
out on you all those years ago.

Left you to bring Tom up on your own.

Never called, never came to see you.

Just abandoned you, left you to rot.

So did you go to have it out with her?
Is that why you're here?

Did 25 years of anger become too much?

No comment.

When you went to see Alison that first
time, did you tell your dad?

No, never said anything.

Well, maybe you didn't say anything, but
your dad found out, didn't he?

Hmm?

Did he?

Bus ticket.

Bus ticket?

My jeans.

He washed them the next day.

Then he started shouting and calling me
stupid and stuff.

Now listen, this is very important.

That day your dad found the bus ticket.

That night, did your dad go out?

Did he leave the farm?

Well, if he's not got an alibi and we
can't put him on the Larchford estate

night of Alison's murder, that's
something at least.

That's not enough.

Keep looking.

Oh, Robert Nesbury's no housekeeper.

But so far, we've got nothing.

Sir.

Hold on.

You found something?

Old photos.

Of what?

Eden.

A baby.

From 1991.

What's the baby's name, Tom?

It's Emma.

Baby Emma.

Oh, she's beautiful.

With Alison, her man.

So what happened to baby Emma?

I don't know.

Did Alison take her with her when she
left?

No.

She went after.

After? After what, love?

After baby Emma had to leave us.

Well, why did baby Emma have to leave?

Dad.

He said she couldn't stay, so one night
he took her away.

Took her where?

Tom.

I don't know.

What did you do with her?

Look at her.

Just a few weeks old, you took her from
her man.

What did you do with her?

Alison had no business getting pregnant.

She wasn't fit to be a mother.

She couldn't raise a child. She was
still a child herself.

Well, you didn't wait to find out. I had
to deal with Tom on my own.

I couldn't take on another one.

What did you do with her?

And I wanted to help Alison.

Do the right thing.

Give her a chance.

That's why she tried to kill herself.

I didn't know she was going to react
like she did.

You think I wanted that?

To come home, find a lion there, sheets
all covered with blood?

Afterwards, I wanted to explain.

But she left.

Ran off.

That's why I went to the house.

To explain.

To say I was sorry.

But I couldn't.

I parked outside the house.

I couldn't face her.

But what did you do?

What does that mean, Robert?

It means I took care of her.

I gave her the salt water, made sure she
was safe.

Father, did you take her to her dad?

Who was it, Robert?

Who was he?

I'm done talking.

Why the stone wall?

Why not just tell us who the dad is?

1991.

He doesn't need to tell us.

It wasn't rape.

If that's what you're thinking, then it
wasn't like that.

She was 16 years old. Well, I was
practically a kid myself.

22, just out of university.

She was still a child, and a vulnerable
one at that. She was supposed to be in

your care.

Alison was vulnerable in many ways, but
she was very mature in others. Can you

even hear yourself?

I was trying to help, but I was young
and naive.

I was lost.

The other one was lost too. We were just
trying to help each other through it.

When did you find out she was pregnant?

I didn't know until much later.

What, when her old man brought the baby
to you?

Yeah. Said she was my responsibility.

So what did you do with her?

What do you think?

Took care of her.

Raised her.

There's no record of an Emma Nersby.

Of course not. We changed her name.

We? Who's we?

Angela.

My wife.

I told her all about it and we took her
in.

And your wife, she was okay with that?

She developed cancer.

First year at uni.

That's why we got married so young.

In the end, she had a hysterectomy.

She always wanted kids.

So when Robert turned up, it wasn't
perfect, but we made it work.

My wife died three years ago.

But I know she was proud to be a mother.

And you should meet my daughter. She's a
wonderful person.

She's kind. She's clever.

Is she your teacher?

Well, did you know that?

Can't do it.

Can't remember any lines.

So what?

Doesn't matter.

I'll let everyone down.

Come on, no -one is going to think that.
I'll think that.

I wanted to do it for her.

For Mum.

Check backstage.

Yeah.

I ask you to wait outside, Molly.

Why?

Because I need to talk to Mrs Brennan.

I need to get ready.

Molly, maybe you should go.

No.

Molly.

I'm not going anywhere.

OK. So when did you find out?

Find out what?

Three years ago.

My mum told me before she died.

That must have been hard for you.

I didn't really think about it.

Not at the time.

I was too busy grieving her.

So when did that change?

After a while, I kept thinking about how
I could meet her, you know.

Come on, tell me what's going on.

Mrs. Brennan came to work at your
school, Molly, for a reason.

She wanted to meet someone, someone
important.

She wanted to meet your mum.

Our mum.

Molly.

I know this is hard for you to
understand, right? I know that.

The best part of all of this for me was
meeting you.

All right? Meeting my sister. Stay away
from me.

What?

Did Mum know?

No. Not in the beginning.

Was it when she came to the school for
the meeting with Molly the day she died?

Yeah, I don't know why.

She was just there in the office.

Telling me how worried she was about
Molly.

Just came out.

And how did she react?

She barely even registered.

She just stood up and walked out.

So I wanted to give her another chance.

I thought she might think different
after she'd had some time to process.

So that night, after you sent Molly home
in a taxi, what did you do?

Molly.

Molly.

No, she was, Pet.

I just wanted her to know me.

How are they doing?

Better than they should be.

Well, you shouldn't have lied, Michael.

I know.

If you'd been straight from the start,
we could have helped.

I messed up, I'm sorry.

You heard from the CBS?

No.

My solicitor says they haven't made a
decision yet.

Well, I'm sure they'd have been made
aware of your circumstances.

Did you make them aware?

Go be with your kids, Michael.
