Nadia, hurry up though.

Yeah.

Boss is here.

Luke Sumner, 27 years old. He had his
wallet and keys on him. And good morning

to you too.

Sorry. Morning, Mum.

So money and card in his wallet?

Yeah, he had a debit card and 25 quid.

So likely not a mugging.

Phone? Not on him.

It was phoned by the VIN men. He'd been
punched in the face. And I've secured

the flat. It's over at Thalersby House,
which is just... Ah, I know it.

What are you looking for?

Well, let's have a look at him.

So what can you tell us, Malcolm?

Well, he's been dead six or seven hours.

Sometime between midnight and 1am.

I can swear on a cause yet.

But what?

Well, he's received multiple blows,
including one to the face with an

head injury.

Oh, something interesting, there are no
defensive wounds.

Or his hands.

So someone attacked him and he just
stands there and lets them?

Possibly. I'd say it's highly likely
that he died as a result of an assault.

Did he die here?

I don't know that yet.

Well, if they were trying to hide their
body, they did a terrible job.

Malcolm?

Where's Debbie's jacket?

E .C .S.?

What's that?

I have no idea.

Mark, can you find out what ECF stands
for? It's a company logo on his T

Look, I'm afraid that's your lot for the
time being. Yeah, OK, Malcolm. I know

the drill.

Glad to hear it. I look forward to
sharing my findings with you ASAP.

Right. Anything?

ECF, Eldon Cleaning Services. They're a
corporate cleaning company based down by

the quayside.

That's the old oil distribution place.

Yeah, looks like it. Right, so get hold
of them, Mark, and see if they can tell

us the lads were about last night.

And collect any CCTV between here and
Stannisby House. Ma 'am. Jack, we're

over to Stannisby. Grab some uniforms
and talk to everyone who lives there.

Yes, ma 'am. Have you got the key?

The uniform will help me.

Lift out of order.

What floor is it on?

Seven.

You're not even breaking a sweat.

I'm in training for the Great North Run.

Training? What, on top of your hour? I
bet the missus is pleased with that.

I don't know. She likes my fit.

I've got too much information.

Bleach.

Either our lad's been cleaning or
someone else has.

Well, he could have been working till
past midnight if these are his shifts.

Hello? There's a phone here.

Nadia, three missed calls. Yeah, well,
who's Nadia?

Phone's locked.

I'll get on to the mobile provider.

Well, kept himself tidy.

Very tidy.

And it looks like someone's kicked the
door in here.

Looks recent.

Now, was that Luke or somebody else?

You're right about the bleach.

The gallons of the stuff in here.

Get forensics up here. See if they can
pull up anything interesting.

moved in? My neighbours told Uniform
they'd been living here for over four

years. Well, you'd never know it, would
you?

No telly, no radio, no laptop, nothing.

Living like a monk.

Mum, ETS have confirmed that Luke worked
for them.

Right.

Sugar in that?

Yeah. Now, have we found next of kin?

Carmel Sumner lives in Lingford near
Rothbury. She doesn't know yet.

How do I know that name?

Seth Sumner, Mum.

The boy's dad.

Seth Sumner.

Of course.

Killed in his home by a burglar, right?

Yeah, must be 12, 13 years ago. The
burglar got life.

Kale? Terence Kale. Had a failed parole
hearing three weeks ago.

And didn't Kale's brother have some
history with us?

Wings of oil?

Don't you shovel out, Kenny. Do some
digging.

Yes, Mum.

Mark, find me anything you can and piece
together his last 24 hours.

Mum.

Now, how on earth are we going to tell
that lad's mum?

Hi, Sumner.

Hi.

How did he die?

Well, we're not sure yet, love, but
we'll know very soon.

But you think someone else was involved?

I mean, you must do a DCI coming round.

Well, we're keeping all lines of inquiry
open, Pev.

Then it's like some sort of a joke.

His dad, he was murdered here.

Protected or... No, I know he was.

Now I've lost them both.

Oh, God.

OK, I'll drink the water.

I'll get it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

When did you last have contact with your
son?

He came to see me about a month ago.

You hadn't spoken since?

No.

He was always busy working.

Cleaning.

Can you think of anyone who would have
wanted to harm him?

No.

partner?

I don't know.

I don't know.

It can wait, love.

We'll go.

Is there someone we can call, Fionn?

I just want to see my son.

We'll let you know as soon as you can.

Ugh.

Luke Sumner, age 27.

His body was found this morning by bin
men in the underpass off Ayrton Road.

He's thought to have been the victim of
an assault.

Now, he was wearing a T -shirt with the
ECS logo on it, and that's a cleaning

firm in Newcastle. And DC Edwards is
interviewing staff as we speak.

Now, is he on the system?

He got a caution for possession of half
a gram of cannabis in 2008.

2008, nothing more recent?

OK. I want to check on his medical
history, matter of priority.

Yep. Now, Kenny, phone records.

I put a request into his mobile service
provider. No response yet. Well, put a

rocket under them, Kenny. We need to
know who this Nadia is.

Bank records.

Apart from rent and bills, he withdrew
money every Friday.

For the last two weeks, it's been £150.

But for the seven months before that, it
was £250.

Now, how much in the account?

Nearly 5 ,000 pounds.

So he was a saver.

I want to know what that extra 100 quid
a week was for and why it stopped.

I mean, his flat was hardly flat, was
it? No, more the opposite.

He had a credit card as well, which
wasn't in his wallet, and forensics

found it yet. Oh, right. Well, let's
keep an eye out for that.

Er, what about his neighbours, Jack?

Oh, they left on yesterday morning. They
only know if he's any of his lights on

and it wasn't last night.

Oh, well, that's helpful.

Kenny, what about the burglar's brother?

Name's Raymond Kelmer.

He's been inside for GBH a couple of
years ago.

Has he?

He now runs the Wayside Gym. It's a not
-for -profit gym.

Oh, and the lad's mother, Carmel Sumner,
sent a letter that was read at

Terence's most recent parole hearing.

Did she?

It was pretty damning. It's one of the
reasons he wasn't released.

Well, there could be a grudge there.

It's a possible link.

Good work, Kenny.

Mark. Luke walked off his shift
yesterday.

Any idea why?

Had an argument with one of their
minibus drivers.

Did he indeed?

Poor lad.

He'd worked with us two and a half
years. Longer than anyone.

Two and a half years? Well, that's not
very long.

Oh, that's a lifetime here.

We've a high staff turnover.

It's hard work. Night shift. It's not
for everyone.

Oh, this is Clive, my husband.

This is DCI Stanhope and DS Healey.

I couldn't believe it when I heard.

Such a shame.

We were only so young yesterday.

Oh? What time was that?

About half twelve when he went off to a
shift.

One of our drivers was bringing him back
here for his next one when he got

really upset on the minibus. Yeah, we
heard they'd argued.

Right, Luke argued.

Jojo just wanted him to stay calm.

He was scaring folk.

Had Luke kicked off like that before?

Oh, never.

He was our most reliable cleaner. He was
a team leader.

Ah, he was.

Oh, God.

But what?

He hadn't been quite as reliable
recently.

He was turning up leads.

He had an attitude.

Jojo told him I wanted a word with him,
and that's when he kicked off.

So what was going on with him last week?

Why the attitude?

That's what I wanted to ask him about.

It's a big set -up you've got here.

Aye, one of the biggest in the region.

250 cleaners.

That must take some organising.

Staff clock in here every shift, collect
their equipment, and then our minibuses

take them to the work and bring them
back.

We give them a structure.

Strict timekeeping, you know, the
discipline of clocking in. We also give

housing and transport.

You provide accommodation?

Ooh.

But Luke wasn't in one of your places,
was he? No, no, he already had his own

place when he came to us. But we do
provide accommodation for the others.

Make sure they've got somewhere safe and
decent to put their heads down. Oh, no.

Precious.

Right, I'm going to need everything
you've got.

On Luke for the last three months.

A time sheet, who he was working with,
where.

I'll get through it on it.

Thanks, love.

Oh, and do you have a Nadia working
here?

I've got a Nadia Dinev.

She and Luke work together a lot. Made a
good team.

Oh, well, where will I find Nadia?

And Jojo. I'll just check.

Yeah, they are both at Tofield Shopping
Centre.

Thanks, love.

He totally overreacted.

All I said was Mr. Brock wanted to see
him. Did he get physical?

Only on his side. He kept booting the
door.

I just told him to stop damaging the
bus.

Hey, Moz!

Not on my time.

Surprised me, going off like that.

Usually good as gold.

There's always a quiet one, though,
isn't there?

Oh, is that what he was, quiet?

Yeah, a bit of a pushover.

Why was he worried about seeing Mr.
Brock? I don't know.

I just let him out and he ran off.

Right. Well, can you tell us where?

Have you got an address?

That's here.

Nadia Deneuve?

Unit number five.

Thanks, love.

I'm sorry, Pat.

Nadia Deneuve?

DC, I've heard of Stanhope.

I need to talk to you about Luke Sumner.

Well, I'm guessing you've heard what's
happened to him.

Why did you call him last night?

I mean, what was that, work?

It wasn't like him to miss a shift.

So it was nothing to do with the
argument he had with Jojo? What

What, on the minibus between shifts?

You don't know what that was about?

But you called him three times, Lord, so
it must have been something important.

Please, we're not supposed to make phone
calls at work.

We're getting to trouble.

Well, what sort of trouble?

Nadia, you've finished in here. We need
to go.

That's all right.

Yep, I'm done.

Do you think she's involved?

She's awesome.

Definitely scared.

We need to keep our eye on her.

Hmm.

He died from an extradural hematoma.

Now, as I suspected, he didn't die
immediately.

The impact damaged a blood vessel. Bleed
got trapped inside his skull cavity.

Started coning, compressed the brain,
specifically the area controlling his

respiratory system.

He will have become increasingly
confused and then stopped breathing.

So when did the trauma happen?

Up to five hours before he died. He was
a dead man walking as soon as he

received the head injury. So between 7pm
and 1am?

Yeah. Well, I presume he wasn't standing
there for five hours where we found him

waiting to die, so the crime scene was
somewhere else.

Agreed. Now, we did find some alcohol in
his system, not a significant amount,

three units, but whatever caused the
impact was completely smooth because his

skin remained unbroken.

Or maybe someone punched him and he fell
and hit his head.

Or they hit Luke with something.

Well, look at that. That's some punch.

Yes, I want to show you that.

Are these links?

Possibly. Now, there's something
interesting going on in the centre of

operation. Can you see? Mm -hmm. I'd
like to get in a specialist infrared

photographer to take a closer look at
that.

Is that your way of asking if I'll pay
for it?

Yeah.

Oh, go on, then.

Will you pay for it?

Yes. Good.

Now... There are multiple bruises on
Luke's shin.

And then further up we have these.

They are small areas of burn scarring,
patches of linear abrasion. You said it

was a cleaner.

Commercial cleaner. Right, well, looking
at the shape of these, they could well

be chemical.

Could it be bleach?

Quite possibly.

And has he done this himself, or has
someone done it to him? Either. They're

in places which are easy to hide.

But they're definitely deliberate, not
accidental.

So, just to recap, it was a blow to
Luke's temple, which led directly to his

death. Right.

Now, was there anything else in his
system other than the alcohol?

No traces of drugs, prescribed or
otherwise.

Right, thanks, Malcolm.

Thank you.

Jojo Walters, minibus driver for ECS,
thank you. He confirmed that he dropped

Luke off at 6 .15pm on the corner of
Roma Street and Hargreaves Road.

Now that was about an hour before
Malcolm estimates Luke got this head

So what happened to him after he got off
that minibus? We need to find the crime

scene. Jack, check CCTV to see if you
can trace his journey. Mum, his co

-workers didn't say much.

The boss had seemed nice enough, didn't
they, Kieran? I wasn't keen on Jojo

Walters. No.

You can check him out, Kenny, see if
he's on the system.

Mum. And Mark, run a background check on
the company. Might as well touch all

bases. Mum.

Now, where are we with the lad's phone
records?

They're just in, Mum.

I used it mainly for work. Apart from
four calls over four weeks, the number's

registered to Jasmine Ashers.

The last call he made to her was for
over an hour. Hour?

That was seven days ago.

Well, our lad wasn't that quiet then,
was he?

No. You got an address?

They're sending it over.

Right, Jasmine Asher.

Seems she said he's BS.

Well, do not.

Oh, I checked Luke's medical record.

There's nothing recent.

I mean, he didn't register with the GP
once he left Lingford, and that was nine

years ago.

Yeah, well, what about hospital records?

Nothing, there weren't any.

Mum, Luke's mother's on her way to ID's
body.

Do you like her?

Mm -hmm.

No.

No, I'll do it.

I know this isn't the right time to tell
you, Mrs Sumner, but we now know Luke

was assaulted. There was someone else
involved in your son's death.

Do you know who it was?

Not yet.

So I am going to have to ask you some
tricky questions, but that's only

I need... Look, I know how this works.
I've done it before.

I know you have, love.

And I'm sorry.

But are there any issues I should be
made aware of? What kind of issues?

Well, Luke's mental health.

No, I don't know.

I mean, he always kept his business very
private, deep mortis, that was Luke.

Oh, well, it must have been hard on him
when his dad died the way he did.

Yeah, of course, he was heartbroken.

It was a very difficult time for us. I
can imagine.

And I'm sorry to have to ask, but did
Luke ever harm himself deliberately?

I'm sorry, what do you mean?

Well, we found some unexplained scarring
on his body.

Did he ever talk to you about that?

No.

No, I never knew anything.

Luke hardly talked to me.

He always had some excuse not to come
home.

Why was that, do you think?

I wasn't in a good place after Seth died
and I took it out on Luke.

I drove him away.

I thought he'd be better off away from
me.

I got that wrong.

Well, here's another one you probably
won't be able to answer, love.

Oh, Jasmine Ashes.

Mean anything?

She lives in Lincoln with her mum.

So was she and Luke, mate?

No, I don't think so. I mean, they saw
each other for a couple of months when

they were kids.

She was getting married soon. He wasn't
invited.

So you heard Terence Kale applied for
parole?

The celebration that was when he didn't
get it.

Do you know that his brother came round
to save me? He wanted me to help him.

That was a mistake.

Raymond Kale came to your house?

Aye. I climbed the door in his face.

The police came round later. I think one
of my neighbours must have called them.

Listen to this.

Raymond Cale paid a visit to Luke's man
four weeks ago.

Someone called the police and I want to
know who that was.

Uh, ma 'am, I checked out Jojo Walters.

Clean as a whistle. Not even a parking
ticket.

Well, tell Mark to carry on sniffing
about.

Uh, he's talking to someone now.

Yeah, good.

Boss, about Jasmine Ashes.

Yeah, well, if you're going to tell me
she lives in Linkford, I already know.

She's a geography teacher at the Woodrow
Academy.

Yeah, right.

Well, that's local.

Go fetch her in. Ah, a bit tricky.

She went on a school trip yesterday at
5am with 30 Year 12s. But she's back

tomorrow. Right. The second she's back,
I want to see her.

Which neighbour called Uniform?

So what's the name again?

Jason Hay.

He called the evening of 17.

Right.

Come on in.

I'll have to sit.

It's me back.

I can't stand too long.

Can't sit too long.

Nightmare.

So is this about Raymond Cale?

Partly, yes. We wondered why you called
the police four weeks ago.

Haven't you read the report?

Oh, I, but it's always good to hear it
direct, can I?

Ah, right, OK. Well, Cale had no right
to come around.

I'm protective of Carmel. She's been
through enough, and I told him so, too.

Told him to leave her alone.

How did that go?

He started on me. He threatened you?

He didn't actually.

Threatened me, but I know his type.

It would have escalated if I hadn't said
I'd call the police.

Why are you asking about him?

Hiya, Dad.

Georgia loved it. It's the police.
They've come round about Raymond Cale.

That was weeks ago.

Did he come back?

Dad was dead shaking up after.

What's Raymond done now?

Well, we're also here about Carmel's
son, Luke.

What about him?

He said, love, his body was found in
Newcastle yesterday.

I'm sorry.

Sit down, love.

How did it happen?

Well, he'd been assaulted.

Head injury.

Where was it? Where did it happen?

We don't know.

Well, his body was found near to his
flat, but... Oh, that's awful.

like a brother to Georgia when she was
younger. He's a lovely young man.

So you were in touch?

Not really.

I saw him when he came back a few weeks
ago to see Carmel, but only through the

window. I haven't talked to him in
years.

I'm sorry.

I've got to take this.

Now, do you know a Jasmine Asher?

She lives around the corner. We're both
going to her wedding.

I'm told she used to go out with Luke.
Is that right?

Yeah. For about...

Two minutes when they were younger.

She looked down her nose at him.

I don't know. Oh, come on, of course she
did.

Mum? Right. Now, if you do think of
anything else, could you just give us

ring, love?

Mark sent a copy of Luke's shifts and a
client list. There's one client you need

to look at.

He was a cleaner at Raymond Cale's gym.

Try telling me that's a coincidence.

Ethan, Jim, this.

Is it?

Sir, there's poses and sweat.

Well, I'll give you the sweat, but the
mirror, that's not for posing.

That's about good form, technique.

There's Cale.

What Terry did was wrong.

I'm not excusing it.

But Seth used undue force, and not for
the first time.

I wanted Carmel to score on the record,
say he could be aggressive.

So who said he'd used force before?

I thought it was common knowledge.

When do you last see Luke Sumner?

Why are you asking about him?

Oh, because he's dead, love.

Victim of an assault.

Now, we know he worked here six weeks
ago. He requested it.

And then a week later, you ring his
bosses and say you don't want him here.

I haven't seen him since he left.

He wanted to talk about Terry. I said I
wouldn't.

Where were you two nights ago?

Why? Where were you?

Here. Playing the changing room till
midnight, then I went home.

Anyone confirm that?

It was midnight.

The gym was closed. What do you think?

Do you believe what he said about
Settleton having a temper?

There was nothing in the police report.

He seemed shocked about Luke.

Well, he would be, wouldn't he? If it
was him who assaulted him five hours

before he died.

I paid you to check out Raymond Cale's
alibi.

Written she was bruising up his changing
rooms in the middle of the night.

Will do.

Oh, Mum, I tried to get hold of Nadia
Denev to take a statement, but she

show up for work.

Did you try calling her?

She didn't answer.

Hmm.

Well, that doesn't sound right.

Have you got an address for her? Oh,
yeah.

Did you try calling her?

Apparently they've got loads.

They help most of the staff.

Right, the Brocks mentioned that.

Thanks, Jack.

Lady Aidan?

Well, they've got two people sharing in
here.

The size of it.

I thought that Sonia said she looked
after us. What are you doing?

Northumberland and City Police.

I'm DF Healey. This is DCI Stanhope. Is
this your room, love?

Yeah. I'm going to go and get a
residence list.

We're looking for Nadia.

Why, what's she done?

Where's all that stuff?

Well, we were hoping you could tell us
that.

I've only just finished work. I've been
on since yesterday afternoon.

Can I ask you a couple of questions?

Can I help you?

Look, we need to have a chat, love. I've
got nothing to say.

What's your name?

Daisy, Daisy, I'm going to be in the
Westwood Cafe. It's just around the

And I'd very much like it if you'd come
and have a chat.

If you'd change your mind.

Please?

For Nadia?

Because I'm worried about her.

Have you got any idea at all where she
might have gone?

You sure about that, love?

Oh, what do you think happened to her?

I won't say that you talked to her.

Look, if nobody says anything, nothing's
going to change, is it, Tess?

Hmm?

Stuff happens to people the bosses don't
like.

We must get cleared out and people
disappear.

So what sort of people do the bosses not
like?

Anyone that doesn't do what they say,
complains, talks back.

Oh, is that what she did, talk back?

I don't know. We're never really on the
same shift.

And when you talk about the bosses, does
that include Jojo, the driver?

Jojo just does what he's told.

I'm on about Mr and Mrs Brock.

The Brock's punished, we're docked our
wages, cut our shifts.

We're charged for everything, rent,
electricity, transport.

How much is your rent?

£200 a week.

It's a zero -hour contract.

You've got to get there an hour before,
get your equipment, get on the minibus.

They don't pay for travelling, only when
you're cleaning.

They call travel time break time.

I did 60 hours straight once, minibus to
shift to minibus to shift.

I only got paid for 40 hours.

What about Luke Sumner?

The golden boy.

I didn't trust him.

Must be a reason he'd been there so
long, right?

Well, thanks for coming over, love.

Did the Brocks do something to him?

Well, we'll be exploring every avenue.

But if I were you, Pet, I'd start
looking for another job.

Nadia Deneb's missing. She's a person of
interest.

So get in touch with airport, train
station and the port authority.

Get her ID out there.

She might be trying to get back home to
Bulgaria.

Has anyone tried contacting the family?

Oh, I've been trying, but no answer.

Yeah, well, keep trying, Jack.

I did some more background work on ETS.
Me and Kenny spoke with some of their ex

-staff. The Brocks are bad news.

Intimidation, threats, you name it.

Hmm. But did any of the staff mention
Luke?

They weren't sure about him. They
thought he was too quiet. They never

he was reporting back on them. Yeah,
they didn't trust him. They thought he

standoffish. Yeah, but that could be
because he was quiet and had his own

Well, I also spoke with all the
companies that Luke cleaned for, and

something Clive and Sonia held back.

What? Well, last month at Hazelwoods,
it's an office in town, they caught Luke

stealing. They reported it to Sonia
Brock.

Well, well, well.

Well, yes, I've been so worried. I
haven't seen her since yesterday.

Do you think she might have something to
do with Luke's death?

You were worried?

Well, of course.

But not enough to report it?

Well, I didn't know until first thing
when she missed her shift. She's not a

child. Yeah, but you knew. We've been
asking after her. Her co -worker has

murdered. When you put it like that...

Why didn't you tell us he'd been caught
stealing from Hazelwood?

You told them you were going to deal
with it in -house. Why didn't you tell

that?

He'd never did anything like it before.
I didn't think it was important.

I decide what's important, love.

So what did he steal?

£60 out of a petty cash.

Someone left it open on a desk.

And this theft wasn't reported to the
police at your request.

He didn't lose any shifts.

And it's not on record. So how did you
deal with it?

I'm admin.

Clive's more HR.

You'll have to talk to him.

I'll call him.

Yeah, don't bother, Peck.

I gave him a verbal warning, and the
benefit of the doubt, it was a one -off.

Oh, well, isn't that generous of you?

Come on.

He's been with us for years.

He was a hard worker.

He kept a closer eye on him, of course.
Oh, I bet you did.

Why did he get so worked up when Jojo
said you wanted to see him? I don't

All I was going to do was give him a
written warning. I'd given him a verbal

warning over the theft.

Whatever was going on with Luke was
nothing to do with me.

I don't believe a word that they said.

Acting like they care about the staff?

Nonsense.

Sixty quid out of petty cash. I mean,
why would he do that?

Temptation. Saw the money and grabbed
it. But the fella lived like a monk.

Plus, he'd got five grand in his bank.

Now, there's some else going on here.

I reckon those two are as dirty as they
come.

Will someone please give me some news on
Nadia's whereabouts?

Sorry, Mum, we've got nothing yet.

Well, any luck with her family?

Er, yes.

Yes? Yes.

I just heard from her grandma in
Bulgaria, but she hasn't heard anything.

Do you believe her? Well, yeah. She
sounded worried, and she looks after

two daughters.

Also, Nadia sends money home each week.
Only up until recently, she was sending

more than she was earning.

How much more?

A hundred quid a week.

That'll be that extra hundred quid a
week. Luke was drawing out. He was

it to her.

Why? Mum, that was Luke's neighbour on
the phone. They said they heard an

argument on the 1st and again on the
10th. Both times with a woman.

Same woman?

They didn't know.

Mum, Jasmine Ashall's downstairs.

Just back. Came straight here.

At last.

Kenny, have someone bring her up. Will.

Thanks for coming in, love.

Couldn't believe it when I heard.

His mum would be devastated.

Aye.

Why did you want to see me?

Because you had a phone call with Luke a
week before he died.

What did you talk about?

Why, is that relevant?

Because this is a murder inquiry, love,
everything's relevant.

In fact, you have four calls.

And this last one was for over an hour.

So, what do you talk about?

Just stuff.

Catching up.

My wedding.

Your wedding.

Which Luke wasn't invited to, is that
right?

Well, I hadn't seen him for ages.

Was he upset he wasn't invited?

Yeah.

Yeah, but you didn't talk for an hour
about a wedding he wasn't invited to. So

what did you talk about?

He asked if he was upset he wasn't
invited to my wedding.

He was upset for a stop.

We went out when we were 16.

He said he was still in love with me. He
said I couldn't get married because I

was meant to marry him.

He was in love with you?

That's what he said.

He started turning up near work trying
to talk to me and watching me.

Well, why didn't you report that?
Because what good would that do?

You want to know the truth?

I was terrified of what Luke might do to
me.

If Luke was obsessed with Jasmine, maybe
he was obsessed with Nadia too. I mean,

they've got to be connected.

His murder and her leaving.

Well, maybe he got too full on and now
they're attacking.

But then we've checked, haven't we?

She was working the shift where he's the
earth at the hospital.

I couldn't believe it when I heard Luke
was dead.

Same age as my Jazz.

Don't you know him?

A bit. He was a quiet boy.

Deep.

Obviously hard for him after his father
was killed.

We heard that he used a sea jasmine.

Hmm. She told us that she was scared of
him.

To be honest, I had issues.

What sort of issues?

I didn't trust him. He took advantage of
her when she was vulnerable.

Found his way in.

What do you mean, took advantage?

Well, after Thea died.

Thea? Who's Thea?

Jason Hayes' daughter.

Jasmine Thea had been best mate since
they were little.

So were they all friends together then,
this Thea, Luke and Jasmine?

Oh, no.

Thea and Jazz were at the girls' school,
Luke at the boys'. They were very

different. So what happened to Thea?

She killed herself.

She was just 16.

She told Jazz she was depressed.

Jazz didn't realise how serious it was.
Well, you don't at that age, do you?

One night...

Thea jumped off Jackson's crack.

Jason never recovered.

How was Jasmine afterwards?

Devastated. Felt guilty that she hadn't
helped, Thea hadn't stopped her.

Then Luke started coming round.

Said he knew what she was going through
because of his dad.

First I thought he was just being kind.

He was using her grief to get to her.

And once they were together, he wouldn't
leave her alone. He was here, day and

night. In the end, Jazz had to tell him
to back off.

He left Linkford a year or so later.

So when did you last hear from him?

He called Jazz a week or so ago.

On the phone for an hour.

He said he'd called before.

Jazz was terrified he was getting all
intense again.

So where were you and your daughter on
the night of the 15th?

The night before Jazzy's school trip?

I was here with her.

She had to nip back to school, forgotten
something or other.

She'd been on her phone half the night
stressing.

Why?

Just routine, love.

Thanks very much for your time. We'll
leave you to it.

So what are they saying? that he's some
kind of a stalker. No, they didn't

actually use that word. No, that's what
they meant, though.

Well, did Luke spend time at Jasmine's
when they were younger? No!

Like, I don't know.

I can't remember.

Luke, he told me that he was there
because Jasmine said she was having

attacks. So you remember that?

Luke was not a bad lad.

He was just troubled. He broke up with
her. He knew I needed him. It wasn't all

about Jasmine.

Hang on.

He... broken off with her?

That is what he said, yes.

She's a pretty girl, but not on the
inside.

Were Luke, Jasmine and Thea close?

No. They hardly gave him the time of
day. Thea, she just did whatever Jasmine

told her.

Look, Jasmine was popular.

She didn't want to be seen with someone
like Luke.

You know what teenage girls are like.

My Luke, he was a good, Boy.

Protective. He would never have hurt
Jasmine.

Mum, we've got Nadia. Port Authority
just rang.

Thanks, Jack. We're on our way. And can
you pull up the police report on Athea

Hay? Yes, Mum.

We've been worried about you.

Why'd you up and leave, Nadia?

I was scared.

Well, sit yourself down.

Okay,

so

let's talk about Luke.

Now... I believe he'd been giving you
money and home. So were you together,

and Luke?

We saw each other for a few months.

We split up two weeks ago.

So why'd you split up?

We were arguing about work at his flat
and he started shouting and kicked a

in the wardrobe.

I ended it the next day.

So did he get heavy with you?

No. Said he didn't blame me. Not after
how he behaved.

So why did you leave?

Mr. Brock forced me to go.

He said I was bringing too much unwanted
attention to the company. Mr. Brock did

that.

It was you who stole that cash, wasn't
it?

When Luke found out I was stealing, he
tried to put it back and then they

thought he'd done it.

He took the blame, but Mr. Brooks knew
it wasn't him, knew it was me.

Well, that didn't give him any right to
assault you, love.

There must be some kind of
misunderstanding.

We had nothing to do with Luke's death.

Oh, we'll get to Luke in a minute, love.

Look, I've been doing some research into
your company.

All the paperwork's presently correct?

Oh, you're right there. You've been very
careful. You've got certificates for

everything that I'm willing to bear.

Some of them are bought.

Of course they're not.

Hey, that was a good act you put on
there, love.

The tearing boss.

You had me fooled the first time we met.
But not anymore, love. Not now I've

seen how you run your business.

Threats, intimidation, blackmail.

We look after our staff. No, you don't.
You do the bare minimum, apart from your

houses, when you do even less.

I doubt they meet occupancy standard.

There's a couple that are a little busy,
but we're buying more houses. I can't

put staff out on the street.

None of your rooms are registered for
multi -occupancy, yet all 12 of your

houses are crammed to the gills.

We had a cash flow problem, but we were
working on it. I've had electricians in.

Yeah, because you knew you were on our
radar. You knew we'd be checking.

Now then, your husband did this two days
ago, removing someone from your

property.

He did this?

I didn't know.

This has got nothing to do with me.

Are you sure about that, love?

Now, there is one way you could help
yourself here, Pet.

And that's if you help us with Luke.

So what else is it you're not telling
us, hmm?

Something did happen with Luke, but he
wouldn't tell me what.

You'll have to talk to Clive.

I brought Luke in for this dealing. I
knew it wasn't him. He was covering for

his girlfriend. But when I got him in,
he insisted it was him. Got off, he

threatened us.

Threatened you with what?

Now, Luke had worked for you long enough
to know all the ins and outs, all the

shortcuts. That's why he had his own
flat for a start.

You were scared how much he knew.

Ridiculous. These are completely
unsubstantiated claims.

So what happened? Did he offer to turn a
blind eye if you did the same?

We agreed not to pursue the matter
because the cash had been returned and

was hurt.

But recently he'd got copy, turning up
late, talking back.

That's the wrong example. The wrong
example?

I wasn't having him make a mug out of
me.

Oh, is that what he did, made a mug out
of you? Well, you wouldn't have liked

that. So what did he do? Push you too
far? You had to shut him up? Because I

believe you are capable of it.

I had nothing to do with Luke's murder.

So you say.

Do you have any evidence my client was
involved?

Not yet.

In that case, as Mr. Brock has assisted
fully in your inquiries, he now has work

to do. Ah, no, your client's going
nowhere, love.

Sit down.

Because I have a witness making a formal
complaint at this very moment. What

about?

Assault.

This talk's ridiculous.

Just keep calm and sort it out.

I hate to say it, but I don't think
either of them had anything to do with

Luke's death.

And they wouldn't do anything to bring
us to their doorstep. But we can't rule

them out. I'm not ruling anybody out.

Now, Luke suddenly started fighting back
after two years of toeing the line. So

something happened recently to make him
start.

That's what we need to find out.

Good luck.

Please.

It wasn't fair what I said about Luke.

He was ashamed for losing his temper.

Well, he thought if he'd done it the
once... No, he wasn't like that.

He was kind and gentle.

I don't think he'd had a happy life.

A couple of weeks before we split up, He
had a day off and the next day he was

different.

And what way different?

He changed. He avoided me, made excuses.

Went to the pub and got drunk after
every shift.

I just gave him some space.

Now, during our examination, we found
scars on Luke's legs. Old scars.

Did you ever notice them?

Yeah. I saw him in the shower one,
scrubbing himself with a brush until it

It hurt him.

The bathroom smelled of bleach after
that.

Did he do that often?

I only saw him do it once.

I really liked him, you know.

I looked into Jasmine Asher's fiance,
Richard Serendon. He was the keynote

speaker in Belfast on the 15th.

So it was a room full of witnesses.

Yeah, 300 of them.

You know, Nadia's Luke couldn't be more
different from Jasmine's.

Doesn't sound like he played on the
vulnerable.

Hmm.

See if you can find out when his day off
was.

What part of your training is this?

Mum, Luke's bank card was handed in by
Phil Annerley yesterday lunchtime, but

found it on the evening of the 15th.
That's the night Lou died.

Where did they find it? At his pub, the
Brickmaker's Arms. He's the landlord.

Luke went there after walking off his
shift.

I found his card in the toilet the other
night.

I thought I'd hold on to it in case he
came back, but he never showed.

And you're sure it was the 15th? Oh,
anyway, I had the football on.

The place was busy.

He came in about 20 minutes beforehand.

You're on CCTV if you want to come
through.

You should be on it.

There he is, that's our lad.

That's Raymond Cale.

You've got to be kidding me.

Is Raymond a regular?

This is his lot, though. He's in here
most nights.

I've not seen him this week, though.

That's Ruth of the Gents.

Aye.

Is there an exit through the back there?

Hi. You need to come out, Lord.

We could have got out this way.

Aye, well, I've been taken out.

Can I get you a coffee?

Hey, don't come in here, Pess.

It's a possible crime scene.

Shall I close the pub up?

Aye, you better have, love.

Bye.

This lock's broken.

Anybody could have come in and gone out.

Mum, look.

Fibres.

That could be from Luke's T -shirt.

Maybe Raymond assaulted him here, then
dragged him out.

Or Luke could have just left by himself.

And if so, where'd he go?

Right, get it sealed off and get
forensics in.

Jack, now listen.

Luke left the pub after 7 .45pm, but we
don't know where he went.

So I'm going to need uniform to canvass
the area.

He could have gone anywhere.

Have you got that?

I'm on it, Mum.

Raymond, you should have told us you saw
Luke on the night he died.

You knew Luke would be in your local.
You knew everyone would be watching the

football and you went there to hurt him.
No, no. Take it out on him for your

brother not being released. No, no, I
didn't. You told us a pack of lies.

You told us you hadn't spoken to Luke. I
avoided him at work. I got him moved.

But he doorstepped me. He wanted to
talk. He knew Terry's parole was coming

Luke actually believed it was self
-defense. Are you buying this? Are you

expecting us to believe he wanted to
help your brother who'd killed his dad?

Luke was terrified of his dad.

Seth made his life a misery. He used to
knock him about and his ma 'am.

That's why Luke wanted to help me.

It was his idea that I talked to Carmel.
He made me think that she might

actually listen. Yeah, yeah, we know all
about that. I want to know what

happened on the night he died.

CCTV from the brickmaker's arm shows you
arguing in that night. You went to that

pub to find Luke and to attack him. No,
he was waiting for me.

He knew it was me regularly. He wanted
to talk.

Well, that doesn't look much like
talking to me, Peck. He said he was

about Terry.

Me talking to his mum had only made it
worse. I told him to go away, just leave

us alone.

You went to the gents, so it's a bit
more private, cos you knew he'd follow

I didn't know he'd come after me. And
once you'd got him in there, you

him. No, I didn't.

That's not how it happened.

He said he blamed me for Terry not
getting his parole, that it was my fault

I hadn't tried hard enough. He was
goading me, so I hit him!

I lost control.

I never should have, but at least I only
hit him the once. And the rest. Once.

I didn't kill him.

I know how it looks, but... I mean, why
do you think I lied?

OK,

so just let me get this straight.

You're telling us, for the tape, that
you only threw one punch?

Yeah.

OK.

Where did you hit him?

Ribs.

I lost control but only for a second.

I was so disappointed in myself I left
and went back to the gym.

It was weird.

After I hit him, he seemed pleased.

Said he deserved it.

Were you wearing those that night?

Your rings?

Yeah. I always wear them when I'm not
working out with my dad.

Right, well, take them off.

What? Take them off.

Sit.

God help you if you're lying to me,
love.

Take him back down.

Raymond is admitted to the assault, but
not a head injury.

But he claims he only punched the lad
once, so we need evidence.

Now, the rings have gone over to Malcolm
to see if they match this blow to

Luke's torso.

Right. Now, has anybody got anything
else?

The forensic report is just in, ma 'am.

Luke's fingerprints were found on the
emergency exit door and on the back

The rest of it's just a mess of DNA and
prints.

Which means he got himself out of that
pub.

I'd like it.

Which means the crime scene is somewhere
else.

Any ideas of anyone where he might have
gone?

I haven't seen him on CCTV, but then
again, there's not much out there.

Oh, there are some bus stops nearby,
though. He could have had his pick of 15

buses after leaving the pub.

Oh, well, that makes sense.

He would have wanted to get away from
there.

And if he's on a bus, that would explain
why he's not on any CCTV.

Good thinking, Jack.

Right, go talk to the drivers, get their
CCTV.

I'll take uniforms with you.

I'm going to go and chibi Malcolm on.

Oh, come on, everyone. I want some news
when I get back.

I would say that these abrasions on
Luke's torso are related to ring A.

That's the right hand. That's correct.
But there is no evidence that he caused

any of the other injuries, including the
ones at the head.

There's no sign of any more ring
abrasions at all.

What, none?

None. I had expected to see some, but
there's nothing.

So you're saying Luke was assaulted
twice, first by Raymond and then by

else. Looking at the evidence, I can't
link him to the fatal blow.

The head injury was within the next five
hours.

Thanks, Mark.

There was one more thing.

I did re -examine the historical scars
on Luke's body, and they do match what

you were told.

It's very likely that he was alternating
between using a nail brush and bleach

himself. He'd done it twice in the last
year.

The others were older.

Yes,

I know Raymond has previous.

And he lied to us. True, but I can't
link him to that fatal blow to the head.

You can't believe him. Look, Luke was
deep watered, like his mam said.

It was troubled, intense.

And if what Raymond said is true, his
dad was a brute, and that messes with

head.

He'd have been punished.

Thought guilty.

But what?

Right,

now, how are we doing with these bus
drivers? Anyone see him?

I'll go check.

And you're sure this is the fella? Yeah.

How did he seem?

Some lads were hassling him, and I
warned them off.

He looked in his date, got off at the
Walton Crossroads to stop in the middle

nowhere, about 18 miles from here.

About two miles from Linkford.

We said the bed that Luke was in
Linkford the night he died. He got a bus

Walton Crossroads.

Well, he didn't want to see me.

Last time that I saw Luke, we argued.

I argued.

I was angry that it brought Raymond to
my door, to my home.

Well, we do know there was something
going on with Luke, something he blamed

himself for, felt guilty about. Have you
got any idea what that could have been?

Parents kill.

Luke wanted me to say that his dad was
violent, that parents could have been

defending himself.

Well, we had heard.

that your husband was violent towards
Luke and yourself.

Seth never meant to hurt us.

I tried to stop him, but it just made it
worse, so it was better to say nothing.

Luke and me, we both learned that.

I know I should have protected Luke.

His dad was not all bad.

He was always sorry afterwards.

And you loved him.

But you've got to be honest, Pet,
especially to yourself.

Luke said that.

He said that we'll have to tell the
truth.

If we didn't, neither of us would be
able to move on.

Wise words, Pet.

Well, thank you for your help.

Do you reckon that Luke was attacked in
Lincoln?

I mean, Luke would have had four hours
to get back home, wouldn't he?

And you heard what Malcolm said. He was
a dead man walking.

And another thing.

Didn't Nadia say Luke changed four weeks
ago? Completely changed.

Yeah, I checked on that. That was the
day after he came to see his mum.

Aye. But the big thing that happened
that day wasn't about Raymond.

It was finding out Jasmine was getting
married. Well, maybe he came to see

Jasmine. Could still have been obsessed
with her. Aye.

What are you doing? What? Come on, I
thought you was in training.

It's only around the corner.

Mrs Asher, let's talk again about the
night of the 15th.

Did you see Luke?

Of course not. Why would I? Because he
got off of a bus not two miles from

and that's the night he died.

Now, you say Jasmine went to work?

Well, it's a bit of a coincidence.

She went out round about the same time
as he arrived in the area.

I think she went to meet him.

Why would she do that? She was scared of
him. She wouldn't. What time did she

get her back?

I don't know. Went to bed.

Well, what time did you go to bed?

Ten? Jazz couldn't have been much later.
She had an early start.

She can't have seen him, she'd have
said.

Oh, and kids tell their parents every
since, do they? I don't know about other

parents, but we do.

I didn't want Luke anywhere near Jazz.
He was dangerous.

We couldn't have a repeat of last time.
And that gives her, and you, a motive to

hurt him, doesn't it?

Jack, listen.

I want you to run an ANPR on Jasmine
Asher's car and her mum's too.

On it.

Oh, Mum, I've just heard back from
Woodrow Academy.

Jasmine's passcard wasn't used on the
night of the 15th. No printers were used

and CCTV shows nobody entering or
leaving.

So she lied.

Thanks, Jack.

Right. This is not going to make sense.

Jasmine Ashes, I'm arresting you on
suspicion of the murder of Luke Sumner.

do not have to say the same, but it may
harm your defence. You do not mention

when questioned. Something that you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in
evidence.

Do you understand?

Now, why did you lie about seeing Luke?

I didn't. Oh, stop playing the innocent
law if it won't wash. We know you saw

him.

And when we run your fingerprints
through our system, I'm pretty sure

going to match those we found at his
flat.

ANPR said five days before Luke died,
your car passed 200 metres from his

and then 30 minutes later, it passed in
the opposite direction.

Plus, we have a statement from a
neighbour saying she heard an argument

Luke's flat at a time between these two
reasons.

Now, you say he was obsessed with you.

Well, we never found any photos or
anything in his flat.

And four phone calls in four weeks.
That's hardly evidence of stalking.

And the last time you saw him, you went
to his. So will you stop lying and

start telling us the truth?

You didn't know him like I did.

He was intense and scary.

Well, from what we can gather...

He was a hard -working, troubled young
man who helped those who were

So he wasn't like that.

So what was it like?

After Thea had understood how I felt
because of his dad, that the grief

us, I was upset all over the place.

Next thing I know, we're going out. But
he wanted to be with me all the time. I

could hardly breathe.

I had panic attacks.

Well, that could be guilt about Thea.

What do you mean?

Well, weren't you the only one she told
she was depressed?

Yeah, and I did try to help her, but she
started smoking weed heavily, only it

made it worse.

I told her to stop, but she wouldn't
listen.

Yeah, so why is there no mention of that
in the report?

I didn't want to upset her dad and
sister.

Well, that wasn't your decision to make
love.

Now, I think Luke got back in touch with
you, came to Linkford. Well, maybe he

was jealous you were getting married, I
don't know.

And you...

arranged to meet him to warn him off.

So what happened, love?

Eh? Did he say something wrong? Things
escalate? And you lashed out.

I didn't. I didn't. So where were you
then on the night he died? And don't

us you went into school, love, because
we know you didn't.

Where were you, Jasmine?

I was with someone.

He'd married.

Luke was blackmailing me.

That's why I went to see him. He
followed me and saw us together.

Oh, first obsession, now blackmail?

He said if I didn't meet him, he'd tell
my fiancée.

Right, a married man.

Come on, details.

Name an address, please.

I can see why she wants to keep it
quiet.

He's chair of the Governador Academy.

They've been together for six months.

He's married three kids, all under five.

Now, the CCTV on his road shows Jasmine
arriving at 9 .10pm and leaving

at 10 .36pm.

His wife and kids were away. He's
paranoid, his missus is going to find

Well, if she's got an alibi, we're going
to have to let her go.

But the girl is a liar.

Luke was way too busy to go stalking
her.

And it was her wedding that unsettled
him. We know that much.

And then he goes back to work, shuts
himself off, and starts to unravel.

Where's Thea Hayes' toxicology report?

We need to see Malcolm.

Malcolm?

I'm in the middle of a supervision.

Yeah, and I'm in the middle of a murder
inquiry.

Take a look at that.

It's about Luke Sumner.

Well, why have you given me this? This
has to say a hay on it. Yes, I know it

does.

Now, she grew up in the same village as
Luke.

Killed herself.

Right. Take a look at the toxicology
report.

Now, her best friend has just told us
that Thea was a heavy cannabis user

she died.

Hmm?

There's no mention of that in there.
Well, why would there be if that wasn't

case? Well, is it possible she just
didn't use on the day she died?

Traces of THC stay in the body for 30
days. I would say that this girl had at

most one going through her system.

And they only found the one butt at the
scene her father said that she never

smoked, rarely drank.

There was no alcohol found on her body
either.

And no suicide note.

Any time.

Thank you, Malcolm.

Sorry about that.

Now, when was Luke cautioned for
cannabis possession?

Six weeks before theatre. Right, now
listen.

See, I think all of Luke's self
-harming, and all the rest of it, was

fear of death.

And I don't think that lass was alone
when she died.

It was Thea's death that bonded Luke and
Jasmine, because they were both with

her when she died. And whilst Luke spent
his life tormented by the memory,

there's Jasmine gaily making wedding
plans, as if nothing had happened.

AMPR have confirmed.

Jason Hayes' vehicle was sighted at
Ayrton Road at 2345 on the 15th. Right.

Hey, Luke needed the truth to come out,
and I think he gave Jasmine an

ultimatum. Tell the truth with me, or
I'll do it alone.

Aye. He went to Linkford to confess to
his dad.

Please be here for your dad.

Oh, what now?

Uh, look, can we have a word with your
dad in private, love? I told you about

Cale. You should have arrested him by
now. We're not here to talk about

Cale, pet.

We want to talk about Thea.

Thea? Aye. What do you want to know?

Well, can you tell us a bit more about
the night your daughter died?

Hmm?

Just so we're clear.

She seemed really happy the day she
died.

I thought we'd had a nice day.

We watched a film and went to bed and
then in the middle of the night she

just crept out and woke at Jackson's
Crag.

It was depression.

I had no idea.

We played over and over.

About how I could have stopped her.

About why I didn't spot it working out,
why she didn't tell me.

Was it because she was too proud? Was it
because she was too ashamed? Was it

because her mum left when she was
little?

Never forgive yourself for that.

Mr Hay, we know Luke Sumner came to
Lingford on the night he died.

Did he?

Why? Well, we were hoping you could tell
us that.

Because we believe he came to see you.

Well, I wouldn't know if he did.

I'd been in the pub.

It doesn't mix with my meds. The
landlord sent me home.

I was in bed asleep by half seven.

Can anyone verify that?

What? Could Georgia?

She was doing a double shift at her care
home. She slipped over.

How does she get to and from work?

She uses my car. I can't drive it. I've
lost my licence.

Why?

Will you excuse us, love?

Georgia?

Georgia?

You need to admit it. Oh, yeah, that'd
suit you, right? Away from your mum?

Why won't you let me speak? Because it's
private. Please, Jaslo. Please.

You don't deserve pity.

How could you do it? How?

Georgia, you need to calm down.

She had nothing to do with Luke. I was
just not talking about Luke. Please

say anything. You are nothing but a
coward. You ruined my life. I mean,

Georgia, let's take this outside.

No. No, you're not letting her get away
with it. Not anymore.

Tell the truth. Admit it. Look, I know
the truth, Georgia. I know. So come with

me and we can talk this through. Come
on, Beth.

See, that's what this is all about.

Look at you.

This is your last chance to do it
yourself.

Look, she doesn't have to.

We'll reopen the inquest into your
sister's death.

You will?

What's this got to do with Thea?
Nothing, Mum. Jasmine?

I'll tell you.

She was with Thea that night.

Her and Luke.

She dared Thea to stand on the edge of
the crag, and when Thea fell, she let us

think it was all our fault.

They both did.

That's not true, ma 'am.

I'd never.

I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't.

You look hollowed out.

I haven't slept in days.

Look, I know the truth was important to
Luke.

Did he come to see you, Dad?

I was so happy to see him.

But he was upset. He wouldn't look at
us. He kept saying he wanted to speak to

me dad, but I told Luke I wouldn't wake
him.

Luke looked in a bad way. Whatever it
was, it was hurting him.

I begged him to tell us what it was, and
eventually he did.

Luke could see Theo was wasted when
Jasmine dared her.

He tried to stop her, but Jasmine just
kept pushing her on and on and on.

Afterwards, Luke wanted to go to the
police, but Jasmine said that they'd end

in prison.

That she'd kill herself, that it'd
destroy his mum.

She's just a kid, love.

Just a stupid, scared kid.

Yeah, well, that kid made up that Thea
had depression.

Said people would believe it was suicide
and Luke just went along with it.

I wanted to hurt him like he'd hurt us.

I kicked him, hit him, punched him, he
just let me.

Until he fell and he banged his head
hard.

Straight away, I came to my senses.

I was sorry I wanted to help him, but it
wasn't bleeding. He was OK. He just

wanted to go home.

And you drove him back, did you?

Yeah.

And how did he seem?

Erm... A bit drunk.

Slurring.

Was that because of his head?

And what'll happen to Jasmine?

She's got to admit the truth.

Oh, she will.

She's got no choice, love.
