Oh!

Come on.

Just a kiss. Asit, no.

No.

Let's open up the sloofies. Drain off
the excess volume.

Roger that, sir.

We've got a male fatality. I'd say late
teens.

You're going to need this.

His body was found in the water near the
sluice gates.

Any idea?

Well, it's a description. It's that of a
lad who was reported missing three days

ago. Well, get on to missing persons.

See if they can tell us anything.

I will do.

I'm just going to have to make sure
that's clear. What kept you?

Easy rider up me backside. I should do
you for dangerous driving.

Well, at least I've made a start.

So what have we got?

Mechanic pulled him out of the filling
basin.

Thought he might still be alive.

There's not much chance of that.

Today he's been dead less than 24 hours.

So sometime yesterday.

What are these injuries?

Cuts and lacerations, probably post
-mortem.

Went for a swim?

Got out of his depth? Accidental
drowning?

This head wound might suggest otherwise.

Let's have a look.

So, what? Smashed his head when he fell?

Either that or he was struck with
something.

Most of these injuries are linear.

Probably caused by the turbine blade.

But that's definitely a blunt force
trauma wound. Someone lumped him from

behind. Postmortem might tell us more.

Mom, Chief Engineer said he would like a
word with you. He's definitely the lad

that went missing.

Hi.

Name was Ethan Julie.

He lived in Kervindean with his dad.

Same year in college as my lad.

What'd they meet?

I wouldn't say that.

It was Alice he knocked about with.

And who's Alice?

Mid -autumn.

Well, I will need a talk to my law.
She'll be over at Law and Me this

Activity centre, Wednesday part -time.

Law and Me.

Nice.

Could he have gone into the stilling
basin from the parapet walkway?

We checked the CCTV.

No sign of anyone there.

So the chances are he went in from the
reservoir.

The body got caught in a run -off, down
through the penstock and into the

turbines.

Doesn't bear thinking about.

I've got to go now and break it to the
Ladd family.

Sean Julie?

Who's asking?

DCI Vera Stanhope.

This way.

Sean!

Sean!

Pizza here for you.

Mr. Dooley, you reported your son
missing on Friday evening.

I was worried when he didn't come home,
you know.

But when did you last see him?

He left on his bike for college that
morning.

Local sixth form.

We checked with the college and he never
made it into class that morning.

You know, I thought maybe he'd gone to
see his ma 'am.

She took her from her 18 months ago.

Listen, there needs to be told her
name's Ellie.

We can do that if it's easier.

What about his mates?

Ethan didn't really have many friends,
you know.

There's the lass over at Lawmere.

Alice, isn't it? You know, he'd spend a
bit of time with her.

Oh, not a girlfriend.

No, I mean... He wasn't really into that
kind of stuff, you know.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Dr. Julie, we would like to take a look
at your son's room.

I admit missing persons have already
done that, love. You don't have to.

it won't haunt to have another look.

So whenever you're ready.

As soon as you're wrapped up, we'll get
in contact with that, OK?

Yeah.

So it's true what they're saying, then?
The Julie lad was murdered?

No, Norman, that is pure speculation,
love.

So why are you lot involved?

Hey, we've got a right to be told.

Kids of our aren't to worry about. Give
her a rest, will you, Glenda?

The bloke's just lost his kid.

Mrs.

Can't keep it shut sometimes.

Mr. Dooley will be due some time off.

Compassionate leaves.

We're a few doors down in the village.

We'll see he's taken care of.

House is a pigsty. Clearly hasn't been
coping.

That's hardly surprising.

Wife takes off, leaving them both high
and dry.

Why is he still at work if his lad's
gone missing?

Well, some people like to keep busy,
don't they? Better than sitting here

waiting for bad news.

Ethan must have had a laptop.

Missing persons must have taken that.

Disappears from home, no word or
warning.

Does this look like a lad doing a flip
to you?

Well, all this mess is hard to tell.

So what's our alternative scenario?

Abducted on his way to college?

Someone kept him locked up alive
somewhere?

I'll keep looking.

See if there's anything we can work
with.

Now, we need to get a fix on his
movements. He's missing three days, so

there's anything you haven't told us...
No?

I'd had a few drinks on a Thursday
night.

I got home and I crashed out on a sofa.
When I woke up on a Friday morning, his

bike was gone and I just assumed that
he'd left for college.

Are you saying you didn't see him at all
on Friday morning?

We'd argued that something or nothing,
he'd accused me of being a lousy dad.

Slammed a few doors and then stormed
off.

You should have told us this before,
love. How would that have looked, eh?

My own lad doesn't come home that night
and I'm too drunk to notice.

Mum?

The hiker found some clothes by the
lake.

Just called it in.

That definitely isn't.

Yeah, I found his wallet in his pocket.

Yeah, it looks like he did go for a
swim.

Folded up his clothes nice and neat.

Folded up his clothes?

Do you see anything at all in his
bedroom that was folded?

Like a tip?

Now, a teenage lad would have just
kicked off his jeans and left them where

fell. This all seems too contrived.

Mom, you might want to come and see
this.

We found some traces of blood on this
rock. We're going to run it for a match

with the victim.

So this is where he fell?

Highly probable.

I've checked the clothes and there's
dirt and vegetation that's attached to

belt and scuff marks on the leather.

But he was dragged.

So someone else must have undressed him.

Now let me get this straight, Marcus.

He was either dead or out cold when he
went into the water.

I'd say so. I mean, look at these drag
marks.

So he's dragged, undressed, and rolled
into the lake.

And the current takes him down to the
dam.

Now his dad said he left on his bike.

Yeah, I haven't found it yet. But we're
going to get these track marks checked.

Right, I want the perimeter!

Extend it down to the lane.

Let's get this scene owned.

There's a popular beauty spot.

Nicely secluded.

That's what I'm thinking.

Maybe he was meeting someone.

And that someone killed him.

And undressed him.

Dumped his body.

And folded his clothes to make it look
like an accident.

Ethan Julie, 17.

He went missing from home four days ago.

Now, we're waiting for an update from
forensics, but we do believe the lad was

fatally assaulted sometime last night.

Blunt force trauma to the back of the
head.

Body dumped to make it look like an
accidental drowning. The blood of the

scene has been confirmed as his.

Now, he's a sixth form college student,
latchkey teen, absent mam.

His dad...

works over at the local sawmill.

Now, father and son were clearly at
odds.

Social services had recently paid the
Dooley's a visit. Query, neglect.

Now, who flagged that up? The college
raised concern when Ethan started

lessons.

When I didn't get to college the day he
went missing.

Now, the father, Sean Dooley, has since
changed the statement he gave to missing

persons. He did not see his son return
home on Thursday evening.

So why lie to the police?

That's a good question, Jack.

Witnesses remember seeing Ethan that
Thursday. He was over at the Waterside

Activity Centre.

Yeah, that's law, Mia. Some kind of open
day? Last time anyone sees him alive.

His body went into the water and by a
crag, and that's what, less than a mile

from there? Well, the lake -led area
would have been full of visitors, but

plenty of transient footfall.

Now, one thing of note, his clothes were
folded.

And that's clearly at odds with the
lad's character, which suggests somebody

else was involved.

Oh, some new intel on the missing bike,
ma 'am.

It's a giant Talon.

You wouldn't get much change from 500
quid.

I do a bit of trail biking myself.

Yeah?

Well, next time, take Kenny. He could do
with the exercise.

So where does a 17 -year -old lad get
that sort of money?

No, well, he certainly didn't get it
from his dad. He's skint.

Ethan sees someone stealing his bike,
puts up a struggle, gets killed for his

trouble. You're right, we can't rule
theft out of his motive. No, I'm not

anything out.

Jack, are there any surveillance cameras
on those bike trails?

They'll have them at Muster Point, but
I'll run a check.

Now, follow up witness statements, then
get over to Lawmere.

See if anybody knew the lad.

Anyone wants me, I'll be down in the
basement.

Listen, Julie.

Oh, you've heard?

Ah, I had a bad feeling about this one.

Aye.

Well, we think murdered sometime last
night.

So if there's anything you can tell
us... Not much, I'm afraid.

Dad reported missing Friday evening.

No, we think it was Thursday he
disappeared.

That open day, Cobra at Longmere?

No reported sightings after 8pm.

Checked his phone logs.

No calls, no texts.

It sounds like he didn't want to be
found.

Troubled sort.

Well, his mam had done a bunk.

Ellie Julie.

You got an address?

Lives over in South Shields. I took a
statement when Ethan went missing.

Family liaison.

Said she hadn't seen him in weeks.

Do you believe her?

It sounded genuine enough.

What about his dad? He's running with
social services.

Sean Dooley, threatened with an interim
care order.

Pretended after Ethan turned 17.

What about the boy's laptop?

Is there anything on that?

Still over at Tech.

Oh. I'll chase it up. Thanks, George.

Can I take that?

No use to us now.

All right. Thanks, love.

Alice, we know Eason was seen here on
Thursday evening.

Yeah, he dropped into the car.

Must have been around seven, just
started his shift. Did you see him again

that? He popped back later, after the
fireworks.

Said he was headed home.

How do you see him?

A bit subdued. That he had any fallout
days leading up to his disappearance?

No one I can think of.

Didn't confide in you then, even though
you were friends?

Ethan, he didn't really share stuff.

He kept himself to himself.

Now, we know he didn't go home Thursday,
so any guesses where he might have

gone?

Well, we used to go trail biking.

Is that your bike, is it?

Carrera Vengeance, nice model.

Does the black run up to Darkwater?

That's the fell at the top of the lake.

It's up there for hours sometimes.

Bit of a climb.

Yeah, well, it's worth it for the three
-dog descent.

Oof, sounds painful.

Now, I'd like you to give DC Williams
the names of all your guests over the

weekend. I need names, addresses and the
dates they booked in.

I'm sorry about your friend.

Whenever you're ready.

This is Jim Briscoe, ma 'am. He's the
senior park ranger. He's been the first

point of contact for missing persons.

Well, DC, I stand hope.

I'm afraid we're now treating this lad's
death as suspicious.

Right. Is that why you've cordoned off
that area by a crag?

Yeah, we think that's where he went into
the water.

Poor lad.

Now, who are these both? Were they out
on the lake yesterday? Maybe someone saw

something. There'll be a log at the
visitor centre.

It's rentals and permits.

I'll follow that, ma 'am.

The police asking questions. It's...

Not going to be good for business.

I'm afraid we can't help that, sir. But
we will try to contain it.

Kervindean relies on tourism.

And a lot of our workforce are
volunteers.

Were you those volunteers working over
it by a crag yesterday?

A few of the lads were repairing a wall.

If you'd like, I can drive you over
there.

Yeah, grand.

I know this lad personally.

He's a bit of a loner, by all accounts.

Didn't see him on Thursday, at the open
day.

Not that I remember.

He was busy.

Can you hear that?

That's the Prybank ranging.

I can hear the gunfire from 20 miles
away.

Of course, most of this land is Ministry
of Defence, isn't it?

Were there any army manoeuvres going on
yesterday?

And all the cadets have been training.

Adam!

You can leave that for five minutes.

There's a detective here who would like
to have a word with you.

All right?

I'll go and check on progress.

Hey, that looks like hard work.

Sooner it's finished.

We've got a few ospreys nesting.

She's keeping an eye out for them, are
you?

She's been nesting for a month now.

First egg of latch in a week or two.

Brown speckles.

First time, as I reckon.

Ah, well, they'll be learning on the
job.

Now, you will have heard about Ethan
Dooley?

Aye, I heard.

Well, he was murdered not far from here
sometime yesterday evening. I just

wondered if you saw anything suspicious.

Can't say I did.

Nothing in the woods, on the road?

Truth be told.

I skived off early.

Went swimming over at Burford Shank.

Oh, anyone with you?

Just a few mates.

Was Ethan a mate?

I'd run into him sometimes at the
village.

Pervertine village.

You live there too, do you?

Everyone knows the Janans place.

Janan?

Your mum and dad run the sawmill.

Aye, that's right.

Of course, Ethan's dad works there too.

So what if he does?

That's a nasty graze you've got there.

Torn the skin on one of these stones.

Don't you want to get something put on
that?

We'll need this finished before dark.

Oh, right, well, you'd better get back
to it.

You told me you saw Ethan six weeks ago.

Yeah, it was the first time in months.

Why was that?

Ethan blamed us for walking out on them,
leaving them with his dad.

I was going to go back for him, you
know.

It's just got me so straight.

Now, his dad says Ethan was angry about
something. Do

you know what that was?

He didn't get on with the kids in the
village.

Some of the lads, they like to pick on
him.

Which lads are these?

Adam, John and Elizabeth.

Well, I came across an Adam, John
yesterday,

but he hardly knew Ethan.

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?

But that's got a bad reputation.

I'll check it out.

I wanted his dad to look after him.

Not that it did any good.

Would you say your husband had a problem
with alcohol?

It only really became a problem when the
marriage broke down.

So that's not why you left him?

Sean was unfaithful. He said that it
only happened once, but I couldn't even

look at him after that.

And did Ethan know about that?

Sean begged us not to tell him, but
Ethan thought that I'd walked out over

nothing, and I couldn't bear him hating
us. I didn't deserve that.

So when did he find out?

The last time that I saw him.

I sat him down and I told him
everything.

Is this other woman someone we should
know about?

Where's your son at home?

It was just a bit of banter, that's all.

Well, Ethan's mam says different.

Ellie, Julie's the one making trouble.

She always had it in for Adam.

Or maybe she had reason.

Previous for violent affray.

I mean, this volunteer work, that's a
condition of your three -month probation

order.

I'm trying to get myself straight.

Well, you can start with some straight
answers.

Now, take us back through Sunday.

You dive off work early, go swimming
with these mates.

So, how are you getting home? Si dropped
us back here.

Si? Which Si is this?

Simon Wenchurch.

Any relation to Alice?

Brother and sister.

What time did he drop you off?

Must have been around...

Six. I can vouch for that. He was in all
night.

Well, he'd need to be to comply with the
home curfew.

Amanda!

What's this?

Please, we're just leaving.

Not before they tell us why they're
standing at my kitchen.

We had to ask your son some questions.

Whatever you don't know,

Nothing. We know he'd been bullying
Ethan Dooley.

Chip off the old block, eh?

Oh, I get it.

First line of trouble.

Blame the Janans.

Just leave it, Owen.

As soon as you finish that probation
order, you're back at the sawmill. I

do anything wrong.

You heard him?

You know where the door is.

What else did Ellie Julie tell you?

Enough. Unless there's something you'd
like to add.

Oh, I never find out.

If he did, he'd kill us both.

Glenda!

Get out of here!

He won't be hearing it from me, love.

Glenda Jennings carrying on with Ethan's
dad.

Ethan finds out, tells Adam.

Adam's already got it in for him. I'll
tell you one thing.

She's covering for her son.

Lying through her teeth.

Adam Jannan says he was dropped off at 6
on Sunday night by his mate Simon

Wenchurch.

Let's see what he's got to say about
that.

Come on in, sir.

You hear about the dead lad?

Your junior cadets were out playing war
games at the weekend.

Is it possible this lad could have got
caught up in that?

The cadets are under added supervision
at all times.

I'd better tell these cadets to stand
down.

Yeah, well, there's one of them we'd
like to talk to. Simon Wenchurch?

and Adam Jannan spent Sunday afternoon
together?

Yeah. We were messing about by the lake.

And you drove him back tea time?

Dropped him off around six.

You sure about that?

Yeah.

Slashing it down and packed up early.

Do you see anyone acting suspiciously on
your way home?

I don't remember.

Well, can you try remembering a little
bit harder, love?

There was one fella.

I parked him in a blue van.

Would you recognise this fella if you
saw him again?

Maybe. I mean, it was getting dark.

Did you see Ethan Julie?

No, he'd gone missing.

I only asked because your mate had it in
for him.

No, they never got on, but I never
really had much to do with Ethan.

No? He knocked about with your sister.

Accusations of bullying.

That won't go down well at Sandhurst.

Look, I need to impress with the AOSB.

And what's that when it's at home?

Army Officers Selection Board are
passing out praise tomorrow.

Well, if you've told us the truth,
you've got nothing to worry about, have

son?

Anyway, that's my ride back to the
barracks.

All right, fall in.

One, two, one, two.

There's something flagged up on the
event log.

A woman reported a break -in four days
ago.

Her cottage is not far from the crime
scene.

Oi.

Oh, come on.

Let's go check it out.

Came home to find the back door kicked
in.

Some food from the fridge had gone, cut
off the table.

Well, they'd been through the drawers in
the bedroom.

There's a photograph missing, a picture
of me, in a silver frame on the dressing

table. I didn't think you'd follow it
up.

Ah, no.

We're investigating the death of that
lad who went missing.

I heard they'd found a body.

Can I ask, do you live here alone?

Yeah, it's just me.

Lovely.

Middle of nowhere.

I moved here because it felt safe.

Where'd you move from?

Sunderland. Taught art in a comp there.

Oh, well, this is a bit of a change for
you.

I'm only renting.

Six -month lease.

Need a break from the grind.

And the light here's perfect for
painting.

Oh, aye.

Now, the last thing we want to do, love,
is alarm you.

But we've reason to believe that these
two crimes might be related.

You didn't see anybody acting
suspiciously, did you, days leading up

break -in?

Well, this might sound like I'm being
paranoid, but it feels like I've been

watched for a while now.

I didn't mention it to anyone.

Just a feeling, you know.

Well, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll
have a nosy around outside, see if we

can see anything.

I wouldn't want to waste your time.

Ah, put your mind at rest.

What are we looking for?

Oh, I don't know. Probably nothing.

Woman living on her own. Eyes and ears
can play tricks on you.

What?

My lips are sealed.

Baby?

Seems like she had a right to be
concerned.

Well, someone's been stood here watching
the house.

With a very good view of that window.

The bash to the head didn't kill him.
Ethan died from a catastrophic fracture

the second and third cervical vertebrae.
So falls backwards, bangs his head and

breaks his neck.

I can't be certain, but it's a likely
scenario.

So what about his clothes?

Anything? We lifted touch DNA from the
zipper. So somebody definitely undressed

him. Yes, but there aren't enough cells
for an ID.

So nothing we can work with?

We did trace X and Y chromosomes, so
whoever undressed him was male.

Right. Thanks, Martin.

Malcolm was burgled on Saturday evening.
Now, she lives at Buseford, which isn't

far from our murder scene.

There was food, cash, and a photo in a
silver frame taken.

Sounds like someone's sleeping rough,
homeless, addict.

Well, there's been a recent spate of
theft in the Caravandine area, ma 'am.

Cameras, wallets, mobile phones.

Victims are mainly visitors to the park.

We're checking shoe prints from both
crime scenes for a possible link.

Yeah, anything... from forensics on
these faggots?

Oh, tis up, ma 'am.

We've got a possible leave from the
hostel, ma 'am. What?

The guest checked out early on Sunday
evening, seemed in a hurry to leave.

Tidwell. Applied for a curving dean
fishing permit, though he spent most of

time at the Gudgeon Inn.

We ran his name through the PNC,
previous for domestic burglary.

Well, we're going to need more than
that.

Hang on. Is this his vehicle?

Yeah, parked at the guest car park.

What was it that cadet, Cy Wenchard, say
about seeing someone shifty?

I just said that he was lodging by the
road, parked up.

Aye, in a blue van.

Get your coat.

Have a word with the bar staff, see if
they can tell you anything.

You'd stand as a pint, could you?

A bit short.

Loosen your tongue, will you?

What's that supposed to mean?

You told me you argued with Ethan the
day he disappeared.

Yeah, I had a few drinks.

Well, it wasn't about something and
nothing, was it?

You've been carrying on with Glenda
Jammin'. That's no concern of yours.

Aye, you'd be dead right there, pet.

Unless, of course, it's relevant to this
murder case.

It only happened once.

It didn't mean anything.

Well, I doubt Ethan felt the same way.
He blamed his mum for clearing off, and

all the while the blame lay with you.

You've been working through it, OK?

And why didn't you tell me your son had
been bullied?

I didn't think it was important.

What?

When Glenda Jannan's lad was involved.

Now, that sounds like a conflict of
interest to me.

Look, I messed up my marriage.

And I've lost my boy.

So why don't you just let me be, eh?

I do know one thing, love.

That's not going to work.

Listen. Yeah, Barmaid remembers him, Mr
Biddy Tidwell. A customer accused him of

nicking her phone on Friday night.

Scotty chased him off on his carpet.

So where's this fellow now, then? Do we
know? Yeah, run his place. It's a

Newcastle address.

NE16.

At Fallbridge.

Come on.

Kenny, ready?

No.

Warrant to search the premises, love.

I don't know what you think you're going
to find. Don't worry, sir.

After you, Pess. Yeah, well, hang on a
minute.

Pess, in you go.

Oh.

Been away?

What have I done?

Well, I just thought you would be a bit
old for hostel.

Mum?

I found it.

In the woods.

Looked as if someone had dumped it
there. A £500 mountain bike.

Someone's daft enough to leave it
unattended. They're asking for trouble.

they also ask it to be found dead.

Now, having this bike puts you right in
the frame for their murder.

Hold on a minute.

I might have got born for the odd theft.

Violence isn't my style.

Ethan, Julie.

Now, I think you came across this lad
down by the lake. You tried to nick his

bike. There's a violent struggle. One of
you ends up with a broken neck and the

other does a runner. I never clapped
eyes on him.

Our forensics team have lifted some
fingerprints.

We'll soon know if you're lying.

We're charging you with theft.

But if I find any evidence that puts you
at our murder scene, theft is going to

be the least of your worries.

You know, it grieves me to say it, but
he's got a point.

Petty theft, one thing.

Murder, something else. Well, that's an
understanding.

Ma?

Finn's shoe prints don't match any found
at the murder scene or Laura Holcomb's

house. They're still running the DNA on
those cigarette butts, man.

But Vinnie Tidwell smokes roll -ups.

That... that time?

Hey, no, George, come on in. We could do
with a bit of fresh inspiration.

Jack, this is PC Wood and Missing
Persons.

So, what have you got for us, George?

Ethan's laptop.

I thought I'd better share what we
found.

Oh, nice.

They've been using an internet chat
room.

Preservoir dogs.

A chat room?

These are the members currently online.

You can chat with friends, you meet, you
can talk. So if they've all got these

profile names, nobody actually knows who
you are, right?

Exactly.

So could Ethan. I've met his killer
online.

It's a long shot, but we know he was
last logged in three days ago.

A few hours before he was murdered.

George, you are a diamond.

I wouldn't know about that.

What about these files? Anything I can
work with? Some of them are encrypted.

So we'll get tech to pull their fingers
out.

I'll get on to the chatroom
administrator and I'll access his

I'll leave this with you then. Yes,
thanks, George.

You know where I am if you need us.

Aye, I do.

Eh?

You know where I am if you need us, eh?

Something I missed.

Gorgeous George.

He's got a fancy for the boss.

No, I'll grow up, will you?

Right, that's good, thank you.

Eh, Ma, we've got a witness down at the
front desk. A guest that was staying at

the hostel.

until she saw Ethan Dooley on the day he
died.

We met a couple of the lads on the open
day. They drove us back to the lake on

Sunday. It started to rain.

Me and Adam went under the trees for
shelter.

And he started turning on, you know.

That's when we saw him.

It looked like he was watching us.

Are you sure it was this lad?

He were wearing a hoodie, but I
definitely saw his face.

He took off on his bike when we clocked
him.

And what time was this?

Late afternoon, early evening.

The lads dropped us back at the hostel
to dry off.

He's dead, isn't he?

He is, love.

He was murdered.

There's something you're not telling us.

It's just that when Adam clocked in
watching, he tore off after him

and he came back all fired up.

Now, we've got a statement from Natalia
Belton.

claimed she saw Ethan Dooley the day he
was murdered.

And what's that got to do with it?

Well, because she was fighting off your
advances at the time.

Now, if she can recognise him from a
photograph, surely you must have known

was Ethan who was watching you.

OK.

I should have come forward.

Now, that is the first sensible thing
he's said.

So why didn't you? I knew you'd try and
pin it on me.

When did you find out Ethan was dead?

Si rang us Monday morning.

Said his dad had found a body.

Simon gave it a heads up, did he?

Why would he do that?

Because he knew you'd been putting the
frighteners on Ethan when you saw him at

that open day.

And don't insult me with denial, love.

I know you were there.

He'd been spreading rumours.

About your mum and his dad. We know
about that.

I warned him off, that's all.

Told him to shut his mouth.

Oh, what? You'd shut it for him?

That day at Belfordshank was the last
time I saw him.

Well, in view of all the lies you've
been telling me, love, you can see why

not convinced.

I called in at your office. They told me
I'd find you here.

Aye.

We've been trying to encourage some
biodiversity.

Fell in the conifers from the glades in
the right.

Well, we've had a breakthrough in this
murder case.

We're holding Adam Jannan as a person of
interest.

Adam's not a bad sort.

He's on probation for violent affray.

Adam just needs someone to believe in
him.

What about his mate, Simon Wenchurch?

Si doesn't need any help in that
department.

You know, Adam worships the ground he
walks on.

Laura Halcombe, one of your tenants.

Did you know she was burgled on
Saturday?

Yeah, it was me that called the police.

I neglected to mention it.

She'd given them a statement.

I didn't think it was relevant.

Did you plan out who broke in then?

We're working on it.

You were supposed to be studying. We
went for a swim.

That's all.

Oh, I don't think that's quite all, was
it, love?

Adam Jannan admitted he saw Ethan Julie
down by the lake the day he died.

What? So either you saw him too, or Adam
mentioned it.

No, he didn't say anything.

You called Adam to say Ethan's body had
been found.

So? So why'd you do that?

Maybe you've been covering for him.

You think he'd jeopardise his future for
the likes of Adam Jannan?

No, I'm not covering for anyone.

Your name's come up twice in the course
of this investigation.

I warned you, didn't I?

What's he going to look like with the
selection board? It's got nothing to do

with me.

Chance of a lifetime.

Yeah, and so you keep telling me.

Commissioned officer.

A proper army career.

And the force is yourself, are you, sir?

I took dependency discharge after my
wife died.

Single father.

Two young kids to look after.

So on Sunday, the pair of you drove back
from the lake.

What time was that? I've already told
you.

Well, I'd like you to tell me again.

We packed up around 5 .30, dropped those
girls back at the hostel, and then I

dropped Adam off after that.

In Curvendean Village?

He jumped out at Prybank Crossroads.

Set the whip on where he needed to be.

I've just told your dad we've arrested
Adam Jenin.

Your brother's all set for the army,
then.

I bet you'll miss him when he's gone.

I won't be far behind him.

Not that anyone here will notice.

Look, I know what it's like growing up
without your mum.

It's hard.

After she died, we moved here.

That when you met Ethan?

We know he was a member of one of these
online chat sites.

Goes under the name of Reservoir Dogs.

Do you ever mention meeting someone on
one of those forums?

Not that I remember.

We've checked his phone log, and those
days he was missing. He had no calls, no

texts.

I wouldn't know.

Why didn't you call him, text him, make
sure he was okay? He's your mate.

I was angry.

He just takes off.

No word to anyone.

I just wanted him back.

Safe and sound.

I want to see my son. You can see him
once he's answered all my questions.

You can't keep him locked up.

He lied about his whereabouts. He lied
about seeing Ethan and Julie. And I

you've been lying to cover for him.

I was trying to protect him. If you want
to help Adam, you can start by telling

us the truth.

Adam Jannan didn't get home until after
8pm. His mam's just changed her

statement. Now, his maid drops him here
at the East Cross Road at 6pm, and

that's just a 15 -minute walk to where
Ethan was murdered.

We've got no evidence to place him at
the crime scene. Yeah, well, we'll just

have to find some.

Sorry to interrupt, ma 'am.

Those fag butts outside Laura Halcombe's
house?

Adam Jannan's DNA's all over them.

Aha! Alison Buseford was burgled on
Saturday night, you may know it.

Why would I?

Because you've been over there, tasting
the place.

Your faggots are everywhere.

Break in, did you?

No.

I went over to Buseford to see her,
that's all.

Laura, how come?

We've been together for a couple of
months now.

Now, let me get this straight, love.

The pair of you are in a relationship.

Hooked up on the internet.

Oh, date and site.

Local chat room.

Things moved on from there.

And just how far have things moved on?

That's my business.

Well, you can see why I'm concerned.

You're only 17.

You see?

People like you...

Path and judgment.

This is why we decided to wait. Well,
you say this has been going on for a

couple of months, so either something's
gone on or it hasn't. So which is it?

It was all online.

It definitely did.

You've never even met the woman, have
you, love?

I've seen her around in the village.

Ah, this relationship, love, it's all in
your head.

It was real, okay?

Were you at that house

on Sunday evening?

I asked you a question, love.

She messaged us on Sunday morning.

So I was all set to knock on the door.

And then he showed up.

Who showed up?

Jim Briscoe.

Ma, we've uploaded Adam's chatroom
messages.

Now, is that the same chat room that
Ethan used?

Reservoir Dogs. His username was Top
Gun? Top Gun. Well, nothing if not

predictable.

An ethically explicit conversation is
between Top Gun and another member of

chat room.

Calls herself the art teacher.

There's also an attachment he saved on
his phone.

Female pornographic selfie. It's fairly
explicit.

Photos being cropped to hide a face.

If a face is cropped, it could be
anyone.

Yeah, but look what I've just found in
his wallet.

Laura Holcomb's background check. That
comprehensive school in Sunderland looks

like she left under a cloud.

Inappropriate relationship with a fixed
-home student.

I think we need to pay this art teacher
another little visit.

We were just headed out, drinking the
village.

Oh, are you two... Yeah, a few months
now.

We thought we'd keep it to ourselves.

Oh, well, this will be of interest to
both of you.

We know who's been watching your house.

Adam Jannan.

Adam?

How well do you know him? I've barely
said two words to him.

Well, I think we'd better finish this.

In private? I've got nothing to hide
from Tim.

Oh, well, in that case, I'll just come
out with it.

Adam claims you've been sending him
intimate messages.

What? This is a wind -up, right?

Did you take this photo?

This is supposed to be me?

A little selfie.

You can check for yourself if you don't
believe me.

Well, do you recognise this one?

That's the picture that was framed on
the dressing table.

So clearly Adam broke in and stole it.
We know he's got form.

Well, he's changed his tune.

Whatever he's told you, he's made it all
up.

Well, now I might be inclined to agree
with you.

Were it not for the little matter of
Sunderland.

Sixth form student, wasn't it?

We did nothing illegal.

I made a stupid mistake.

Laura told me everything, and she moved
here for a new start.

That's as may be, but you can see how
this looks.

Ma 'am?

Forensics got a map from the crime
scene.

Fingerprints from the upstairs bedroom.

Adam Chanham, right? No, Ethan Dooley.
He'd been in the house.

Well, how many more, lads?

Ask you again. Were you having a
relationship with Ethan Julie?

Ethan did a bit of work for me.

Gardening, mostly.

So you did know him?

A couple of months ago, I put up a note
in the cafe by the lake.

He called, came over.

God -friendly.

I'd only just moved in.

Ethan was missing his mum.

You ever ask him into the house?

Only we've got his fingerprints in the
bedroom.

I've no idea when he went up there.

So why lie to us about knowing him?

He'd been asking me personal questions.

Spending too much time at the house.

He didn't feel right, so I told him the
job wasn't working out. How did he react

to that?

Grabbed his things and left.

Thought that would be the last I saw of
him.

And was it?

He turned up on the doorstep Thursday
night.

He needed somewhere to stay.

Give him a bed for the night, did you?
No, I didn't.

Tim made it clear Ethan needed to leave.

Jim was there when Ethan came calling.

He went after Ethan to warn him off.

Tommy thought of things.

Were you procuring, young lad?

for Laura Houghton.

Hey, I'm not even going to answer that
question.

Oh, I think you better had, bearing in
mind what you've kept from us so far.

I'll work with those kids on a daily
basis. Aye, all the more reason for

bells to be ringing.

Now, we know you warned Ethan off last
Thursday night when he went over to

Laura's. With just a friendly chat.

So do you mind to mention it, did it? I
didn't want Laura dragged into all this.

Dragged into what, love?

If people found out about the business
at the school, she wouldn't have lasted

five minutes in Dewsford.

Didn't you know it was Ethan who had
broken in?

I had my suspicions, yeah. He wouldn't
leave her alone. He was always round her

place. Well, pushing his luck.

Well, for what it's worth, Ethan Dooley
gave me the creeps. Well, you'll be glad

he's gone then.

Now, what were your movements on Sunday
evening before you went over to Laura's?

I was... Running around all over the
park. There's maintenance repairs going

at the lodging. Bump into Ethan, did
you?

Thursday night.

Was the last time I saw him.

Right, listen up.

Laura Halcombe and Jim Briscoe are now
persons of interest.

We're going to be grooming these lads in
the internet chat room. No.

Both Adam and Ethan were regular
visitors to her house. One of them

in a relationship with her. The other
ends up murdered.

We've checked Laura Holcomb's computer,
Mom. There's nothing that ties her to

the chat room.

We saw Ethan's prints in the bedroom. We
don't even know if this break -in

actually happened. But why would you
report it? It just puts them in the

for a murder.

Yeah, right.

So let's just assume that she's telling
the truth.

Hmm? She's not in a relationship with
Adam.

And she hasn't seen Ethan since
Thursday.

And she didn't send those messages.

Well, someone did.

The night he went missing, he leaves
Lawmere after the fireworks.

And an hour or so later, he's knocking
on her door. Right? So we know he's in

the area. And he's in the vicinity of
the lake.

Now, Jack, the list of guests at that
hostel.

We went through them all.

Yeah, but what about the lodges?

Around the lake.

Only one of them was vacant last
weekend.

Yeah, because it was under repair,
right?

What's the name of it?

Four Pines, South Shore.

I'd say that's a perfect place to hide.

Bedroom slept in.

Food.

Well, someone set him up with a Wi -Fi
code.

Made him comfortable.

And who might that have been? Hmm?

His dad was worried sick.

Ethan's dad didn't care about him. No
one did.

I should arrest you for obstructing a
murder inquiry.

I told him missing persons had started a
search.

You didn't tell the police where to find
him.

It was like he was enjoying the
attention.

You know, all his life he'd been a
nobody.

Suddenly everyone's talking about him.
I'm going to ask you again.

When was the last time you saw Ethan?

Sunday. I went round to the lodge.

He was just lying there.

I could tell he was frightened.

I'd never seen him like that before.

What was he scared of?

I think someone was out to get him.

Who? I don't know.

He wouldn't say.

We were right.

Ethan had been hiding in that empty
lodge.

Mum, there was encrypted files on
Ethan's laptop.

They were pornographic photographs.

A bit of a collection, apparently.

Anonymous lads.

Well, maybe he was gay and someone
couldn't deal with it. That could be a

for leaving home.

No, his dad said he wasn't into any of
that.

I got hold of Ethan in the chatroom.
History, Mum.

He was following the Metin thread
online.

He was reading what people were posting
about him.

That'll be why he had internet access
where he was hiding.

Kenny, those are teacher messages to
Adam.

Have you got the sender's IP address?

They were sent from different devices,
ma 'am.

Some were used more than once.

Is that one of them?

Yes, ma 'am. Well, that's Ethan's
laptop.

He's not the victim here.

He's the perpetrator.

He is the art teacher.

So, to be clear, Ethan Dooley posts a
fake profile on that chat room. He's

pretending to be Laura Halcombe. That's
why he needed to get to know the woman.

Those personal questions, the access to
the house.

Hold on, didn't Emma?

Detail the assignment of this fella.
That's why he steals the photograph.

To prove to Adam that the art teacher is
Laura.

You've got it.

Now, we know Ethan Dooley is the art
teacher.

But no one out there knows that we know,
so can't we use that to our advantage?

Jack, can you make up one of these
profile names?

Yeah, I didn't spend all those years in
fraud for nothing.

Yeah, well, do that.

And then post something on the missing
thread.

See if anyone bites.

Technically, that's entrapment, ma 'am.
Yeah, well, let's not dwell on

technicalities, Kenny.

Laura Halcombe has confirmed there was
no relationship.

Oh, she's lying.

We checked your phone for evidence.

Are you adding all right?

And we can prove...

All these messages came from Ethan
Dooley's laptop.

No.

No, you're making this up. He'd been
stringing you along for weeks.

Now then, if that ever got out, how he'd
been playing you, he'd be on borrowed

time, wouldn't he, eh?

Do you need to talk to his parents?

Oh, please. You can't tell my dad.

You can't tell my dad. Should have
thought of that earlier, Pet.

He's got a cast -iron motive for murder.

I don't know.

You saw his reaction.

He wasn't surprised that we were.

Tiff? I've got you a fish supper.

Yeah, never mind that. Come and have a
look at these messages.

It's another chatroom friend of the art
teacher.

Who's Tommy?

I don't know, but whoever it is, they've
been flirting on this chatroom for

weeks.

We need to find this Tommy and anyone
else that Ethan's been targeting.

Get out of here.

Now.

Are you watching?

This is for your purveyor of a son.

24 hours to pack your bags.

I'm coming for you next.

It was witnessed by neighbours smashing
up the car.

Sean Dooley declined to press charges.
Now, we can press charges for criminal

damage and disturbing the peace.

Let's have statements.

Oh, making a point, were we? He got what
was coming to him. The man's just lost

his son.

That twisted little deviance won't work
for anyone.

Dad, get him out of my sight.

We'll be releasing Adam from custody
this morning.

Turns my stomach what he did to my boy.
Your son was a willing participant when

he thought he was in with an older
woman.

I bet this is all down to Simon
Wenchurch.

The latter bad influence always has
been.

Will you let me worry about Simon
Wenchurch?

You want to look a little closer to
home, love.

Aidan!

That new chat room, Intel, Tommy and the
art teacher, has anything come through

yet? Tech team, access to private
messages.

Couple of months ago, art teacher sends
a photo, Tommy sends one back. Now, is

Tommy a soldier?

I've got a video link.

We've been going after the wrong lad.

Filming his uniform, showing off his
military equipment.

Well, actually, chances are Sanders has
gone up in smoke.

Find a fruit, quick. Mark!

Out! Right!

Out! Right! Out! Right!

Raise!

Out!

Police,

can you open the gate, please?

Mark.

Bulletproof. Out!

of hard work, effort, perseverance and
commitment from all of you.

I congratulate you on making it this
far. I need to talk to Cadet Winchardt.

He's in the middle of a parade. I can't
help that, love.

Let's check around the perimeter.

Hello, pet.

Sunday evening, you dropped Adam Jan in
at Pride Bank Crossroads. I think you

didn't drive him all the way home
because you'd argued.

You were... mouthing off about Ethan
snooping.

So he did tell you he'd seen him.

You wouldn't let it drop.

I told him you could walk home.

Now, you dropped him off, you turned
your car around and you drove back to

lake.

Because you'd arranged to meet Ethan
there.

It wasn't Adam and those lasses he'd
been watching.

It was you.

Another post.

Damsel fly.

I haven't seen this one before.

Too much? Not if it keeps me talking.

Want to talk?

Ah,

we need an urgent trace on this IP
address.

We've seen this woman about the village.

She was fit, you know?

Older.

She must have known we were eyeing her
up, though.

A few days later, I get this message.

In the chat room. Oh, from the art
teacher.

Hey, how are you?

Want to talk?

Tells me she's... she's new to the area.

Kind of got friendly.

Well, that's one way of putting it.

And a few weeks later, Adam drops this
bomb.

Tells me they've got this thing going
on.

Did Adam know she'd been messaging you
as well?

He totally smitten too stupid to realize
she was stringing him along. Well, you

weren't the clever yourself love I
messaged her and I told her she was some

of some kind of fake That's when she
started with the threats blackmail

She told me she saw this video I sent
her she threatened to post it online

was I supposed to do?

All right. I I agreed to meet over
there. I didn't have a choice and I get

the the shelter by the lake and it It's
Ethan.

So what was it he wanted from you?

At first, it was just money.

You should have come to the police. Oh,
come on, and what would I have said, eh?

I mean, I thought things were sorted.

I'd paid him off, bought him that stupid
bike.

So what happened this weekend?

I get to the lake, and he's all... He's
all fired up.

Said we needed to atone for what we'd
done to him, and I just...

He lost it.

And did you take a pop at him? He just
fell.

He hit his head.

I didn't mean to kill him.

You removed his clothes, you folded them
up to make it look like it was an

accident. If you'd have posted that
video, you'd have ruined my life.

You did that all by yourself, Simon.

Come on, Tom.

chat room users made contact.

We think maybe they know something.

Yeah, well, go on. I'm looking.

Well, the message was sent from Lomia
Hostel as an internet calf.

Profile name, Damselfly.

Damselfly?

You've no right to question him. Not
without a lawyer. Hang on.

Mr. Winchurch, does your daughter have a
tattoo of a damselfly on her arm? Yeah,

why?

And where is she at the moment?

I've no idea. How was she this morning?

It was Simon's big day. You didn't
really notice.

If she gets in touch with you, you call
us immediately.

There's nothing wrong, is there?

Is there?

They were in this together.

Mark, get Jack over to that hostel.
We're looking for Alice Wensher.

No one's seen her since this morning,
Mom, but her bike's gone.

She must know we're on to her.

Darkwater.

She's headed up to Darkwater.

No sign, Mum.

That's pretty boggy, ain't it? We're
going to have to walk.

She's here, somewhere.

Here you go.

See if you can keep her talking.

There she is.

Stay away from me!

If she climbs up that garden, then we
know we left her on. Yeah, well, we'd

better get upstairs then before she does
something stupid.

Aidan, with me.

Be sure you keep your distance.

You two, wait for back up.

I don't want to do that, Pet.

Is it okay if I just sit here?

Give me a breath, Meg.

This is where you used to sit with
Ethan, is

it?

Ethan said it felt like the top of the
world.

Yeah, it does a bit.

This is where the pair of you came up
with your plan to get back at those

bullies. It was just a game at first.

And then Adam took the bait.

He really thought that Laura was into
it.

Did you know that he was messaging your
brother as well?

No.

It was Si who told me.

That's why you fell out with Ethan.

So I wanted me to talk to Ethan and make
him see sense.

So I went to the lake with him.

Okay, nice.

Ethan was just stood there laughing at
me.

He said I was just like the other.

What happened, love?

He was waving his phone, said he was
going to post what was on it.

I couldn't let him do that to my
brother.

So I tried to grab it.

Because he was pulling and twisting my
wrist.

His eyes were still open.

But I could see he was dead.

So I told me to go home.

He said it'd make things right.

He was trying to protect me.

And it was all my fault.

Stay away.

I'm warning you.

Hey, go back.

He's not going to come near, love.

He's gone.

No, you don't want to do this, Alice.

I mean, who's it going to help, eh?

Certainly not your brother or your dad.

And look at Ethan's poor dad, eh? The
state he's in. You wouldn't wish that on

anyone.

Come on, love.

Can't we finish this somewhere warm, eh?

Can we?

I can't... I can't move.

That's all right, I'll come and get you.

Don't you worry.

I don't want to fall.

I'm not going to let you fall, love.

Now, don't look down.

Here I come. I'm nearly there.

Don't look down, love.

Now, what I want you to do is just raise
your right arm.

That's it.

There. I've got you, love.

Come on. I've got you.

Come on.

Just came to tell you we've charged
Alice Wenchurch with Ethan's murder.

I heard you'd picked up her brother.

We've charged him with being an
accessory after the fact.

Losing Ethan was hard enough, but you
know what's worse?

The shame of what he did.

Your lad was provoked. He made a mistake
and he paid a heavy price for that.

I'm finishing this village, you know.

Or you could stay.

Face them all down.

Stand up for Ethan.

I remember when this was all fields and
villages.

Changes of place.

Something like this happening.

Scars it somehow.

You know you're out of order.

Doing what you did up there.

I knew you had me back.

You nearly gave me a heart attack.

Sorry.

Oh, well, didn't I ever tell you?

I was once offered a job in police
mountain rescue. Was you?

Oh, aye.

Like a mountain goat, I was.
