Can't say no, can I?

Go on. Get.

Shh!

Alright, alright.
Alright.

Oh.

This is Lee.
Leave a message.

Lee, where are ya?

We were gonna talk about the
seating plan tonight, remember?

And if you're not here,

I might end up putting you
next to my mum on top table.

No, I haven't
planned anything yet

for Dad's anniversary.

Well, you'll need
to get a move on.

Well, I'll have to come up with
something, won't I, Mum?

- Be quick.
- Yeah.

Listen, Mum, I can't
really talk about it now.

I'm at work, okay?
I'll call ya later.

See ya.

Now, a missing-persons report
has come in this morning.

Laura Kirkham, 16 years of age,

last seen at home
lunchtime yesterday.

Her parents,
Dominic and Charlotte Kirkham,

are the new owners
of the Winlow estate,

which means there's
over 500 acres to be searched,

including dense woodland.

Boss, since when are we in
the search-and-rescue business?

Since I agreed we'd help out.

Dominic and Charlotte
were at lunch yesterday.

They got back to the house
at about 4:00 p.m.

There was no sign of Laura.

They searched the house
and phoned emergency

when it started to get dark.

Uniform attended and conducted a
thorough search of the property

and the nearby buildings,

which means she's been missing
for over 20 hours.

I take it she's not been
answering her phone?

Dominic found
her phone in her bedroom

when he got home.

Teenagers don't leave
their phones behind, sir.

Well, it's with
digital forensics now.

Eland, you have this lot
to interview.

It's a list of the people
who work in the house

and on the estate.

Ben, Diane, I want you
to interview the Kirkhams.

Try and get more of a sense
of who Laura is,

and stay open-minded, because
they've both alibied each other.

Will do, sir.

So, this is the Winlow estate.

It's a bit run-down.

It's in the Woburn family
for generations.

When George Woburn died last
year, he didn't have an heir,

so it came up for sale.

Now it's Kirkham's
passion project,

and he wants to restore it.

The Kirkhams
only have one daughter?

Yeah. Why?

Just seems a bit much
for three people.

Yeah.

You alright?

Yeah. It's-- It's nothing.

Looks like bad news to me.

It's fine.

Happy-looking family.

You're not gonna put
a bad picture up, are ya?

Mm.

Rest assured, Mrs. Kirkham,

we are doing everything we can
to find Laura.

I mean, this is ridiculous.

I can't go and look
for my own daughter.

We've got drones
and search parties

working their way
across the estate.

And we've got uniformed officers
up in town

asking people
if they've seen Laura.

We've put the train and bus
station on high alert

in case she tries
to leave Edendale.

You could help us by telling us
a little bit more about her.

She's a good girl, very bright.

When she's not got her head
in a book,

she'll be out at the stables
with the horses.

Does she have a boyfriend?

- No.
- No.

Laura doesn't have time
to socialise outside of school.

She's too busy concentrating
on her studies.

She's going to be a lawyer.

Was she stressed
about her exams?

Could that have been a reason
she ran away?

We had a parents' evening
recently.

The teacher said
she was doing okay.

Any significant life changes,
anything at all?

Oh, yeah.
She met Lee Bateman.

- Who's that?
- Dominic!

He was the gardener.

About a month ago,
I caught him with his shirt off,

flirting with our Laura when
he's supposed to be working.

So I sent him to work
away from the house.

And last week, I caught the pair
of them smoking weed together.

So what do you do?

I fired him on the spot.

Do you think Laura ran away
with Lee Bateman?

No, I don't think she ran away
with Lee Bateman, Detective.

I think...

he's abducted her.

Dominic Kirkham reckons

we should be speaking
to this guy, Lee Bateman.

He's pretty insistent that Lee's
taken Laura off somewhere.

As you can see,
he's known to us.

He's got previous for theft,
intent to supply GBH.

And if you look a bit earlier
down in his career...

"Persuaded young girls

to go and steal alcohol
from the supermarket."

So he gets young girls
to do his bidding.

Apparently he got nasty
with them

if they didn't bring back
what he wanted.

And it doesn't take a huge leap
of the imagination

to guess what he wanted
with a 16-year-old Laura.

Right, I'll go
and track down this Lee Bateman,

see if he's involved.

Meanwhile, Diane, can you go
and join the searchers?

And, Ben, we've had a call
through the night.

Can you go and check it out?

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

Helen?

Oh, my God.
Ben Cooper.

I didn't expect you to turn up.

- Please come in.
- Thank you.

Er, we had a call
from Harry Dickinson

saying he'd found something
on the estate.

I take it you know Harry.

Yeah, Harry's my uncle.

I look after him
from time to time.

He's the groundskeeper
at Winlow.

Uncle Harry, it's the police!

Wow, Ben.

I haven't seen you
since we left school.

Sounds about right.

You look good.

So do you.

Last I heard,
you were getting married

to a farmer
just outside Edendale.

I did, but it didn't work out.

- Ah, sorry to hear that.
- No. Don't be.

- It's for the best.
- Right.

Get to spend all me time
with me horses.

I run the stables
up at Privy Point.

Ah.

How about you?

Ah, married to the job, I guess.

Here.

It's all over the village.

You're out looking
for Laura Kirkham.

This hers?

Where did you find this?

Jess picked it up
outside Ravenside.

Laura wouldn't have gotten far
without it.

Size five and a half.

And they look exactly like the
ones on Laura's photo as well.

Who found it?

Er, Harry Dickinson.

He's the groundskeeper
up at the Kirkhams' estate.

Found 'em this morning when
he was walking in the woods

near Ravenside.

- Well, his dog did.
- Right.

And I think we have a bit
of blood here as well.

Keep Harry
in the house till I get there.

Will do.

I need you to stay put,
Mr. Dickinson.

Do you want me to show you
where I found this shoe or not?

Ah, we have to wait for
the search teams first.

What if Laura Kirkham's
lying in a ditch right now

with a broken ankle or worse?

She won't thank you for waiting.

Come on.

Off we go, then.

Do you ever see anyone out here?

Only living things
in these woods are the badgers

and the fallow deer,
and we've got too many

of them bloody things.

Dominic Kirkham wants me
to leave the deer alone.

Thinks they're pretty.

He'll change his tune once he
hits one in his shiny new 4x4.

They're eating the woods
from the ground up.

What we could really do with
is some help from the Black Dog.

Ah, the Black Dog.

I remember hearing about it
when I was a kid.

It was a good story, though.

It kept us from trespassing
on the estate.

Come on.
Oh, more than a story.

A few hundred years ago,

Black Dog used to come out
of the woods at night

hunting cattle and sheep.

Then it moved into the village,

started taking babies
from houses.

In the end, they caught it,
buried it under a plague stone.

Right.

This is where Jess
dropped the shoe.

She must have found it
down there along the stream.

Off you go, then.

Careful, lad.

If you hurt yourself,
I shan't be carrying you back.

Yes. Noted, Harry.
Thank you.

Good luck.

Come on.

I told you to keep
Harry Dickinson

back at the cottage
and wait for the search teams.

Thought if Laura was injured...
you know?

We've protocol for a reason,
Ben.

Understood.

Dr. Taylor,
what can you tell us?

Off the record,
it's almost certainly

the girl you've been
looking for.

First impressions are
she's got a significant injury

to the back of her head,
most likely a blunt object.

- Is that what killed her?
- In the end, probably, yes.

But I think
after Laura was struck,

she ran through the forest
to escape.

SOCOs are picking up a trail
of hair and blood spots

through the trees
that start way down there

and end up near the stream
where she was found.

My guess is that she ran and
kept running until she fainted,

lost consciousness, then bled
out through the head wound.

So the initial attack
could have happened

before Laura entered the woods?

Dr. Taylor: Correct.

Any sign of sexual assault?

No, she's fully clothed,
so you'll have to wait

till I get her back to the
mortuary for a definite answer.

I did find a single bite mark
on her right arm.

Difficult to say what made it
at this stage.

- An animal got to her?
- Yeah, more than likely.

Harry Dickinson said
badgers were up here.

Yeah, I'll compare
the bite marks to be sure.

Thank you, Dr. Taylor.

Right.

Once we get Laura
back to the mortuary,

I'll go and collect
Charlotte and Dominic Kirkham

to confirm the ID.

- Do you want me to come with?
- No.

I want you back at CID.
Liaise with SOCO.

What about me, sir?

You go get Eland and pick up
Lee Bateman immediately.

Have you come across
Lee Bateman before?

He's been off our radar
for a while,

but I doubt he's changed much.

Alright, here we are.

Lee, wanna talk to ya, mate.

About what, man?

Laura Kirkham.

Alright, give me five minutes.

Hey! You'll get down
quicker than that,

else I'm coming through
that front door!

So has Ben invited you
along on Saturday?

To what?

Joe Cooper's anniversary.

No. No, he hasn't.

Alright. Right.

It's probably for the best
anyway.

It's always a grim affair.

He's running!

Only the guilty run.
Am I right?

I heard Lee Bateman
gave you the slip.

Sarge is waiting
for Lee's fiancée, Gemma,

to return from work.

Right, so digital forensics
have done a preliminary report

on Laura's phone.

- Is that everything?
- Yeah. It's weird, right?

So usually you expect
to find thousands of messages,

social media posts, like, triple
that for a teenager's phone,

but there's hardly anything
on that.

Do you know what
still bothers me?

Laura left her phone behind
on Sunday afternoon.

What teenager does that?

I'll get forensics
to dig a little deeper.

He made me run, Gemma.
I don't like running.

- I'm not a fan.
- It was self-preservation.

Er, where's he off to?

Not a clue.
Just back from work, aren't I?

So you were here
all day yesterday?

Yeah, yeah, just making
plans for the wedding.

Aww. How sweet.

Yeah, 'cause it is
only a week away, right?

Okay, well, if we don't find Lee
before then,

then we'll just wait outside
Edendale Registry Office.

What is it, 3:30?
Smart casual, yeah?

It's not fair,
you lot chasing him down.

He's done nothing wrong.

I just wanna ask him what's been
going on at the Kirkham house.

Oh, I can tell you that
for free.

Lee went to work,
then came home, end of.

So you-- you don't think he
showed any interest in Laura?

Of course not.
She's a-- She's a kid.

Actually, no. She's 16.

No, no,
he's not like that any more.

Mm.

Oh, erm, one final thing.

Does Lee still have
those tattoos of his exes?

What was it,
Frankie and... Brandy?

Only I am gonna have to update
the PNC file.

Get out.

Are you coming to The Ram
for a bit?

Oh, I'd love to,
but I've spent the day

hacking undergrowth
and running down back alleys.

I deserve a long bath.

Fair enough.

Did I catch you napping?

Hardly. I've got a bladder
full of double espresso.

Did you notice the whole
street's got wreaths up?

Yeah.
What's the occasion?

Not occasion.

It's for protection
against the Black Dog.

The locals are saying
it's on the loose

and Laura Kirkham's
the first victim.

I don't think she was killed
by a myth.

Forensics have proven she died

from a blow
to the back of the head.

Yeah, we know that.

But it doesn't stop
people believing, does it?

What's up?

It's, erm, Helen,
Harry Dickinson's niece.

We randomly
went to school together.

Is it about the case?

No, she's seeing if I want to
meet up for a drink.

I take it she's single?

Recently divorced.

So, what are you waiting for?

Don't know
if I can be bothered with...

you know what I mean,
starting something up.

Ben, it's a drink,
not a marriage proposal.

Just go and have a laugh.

Alright.

I will take your advice.

There we go. Sent.

Good. I'm happy for ya.

If you get lucky,
I don't wanna hear about it.

A gentleman never tells.

You certainly don't.

That's because
there's nothing to tell.

It's just that you freak out any
time you get a text, that's all.

Obviously, somebody's trying
to get hold of ya.

All you need to know
is I was seeing a guy in Leeds.

It got messy.
I moved here.

The end.

I'm here if you ever wanna talk.

Oh, look,
Lee ain't gonna come back here.

So who else'd take him in?

Well, he's not gonna go
to his mum's either.

She booted him out
when he was 15.

Sick of the police
knocking on her all the time.

- What about his dad?
- Hmm.

Connor Bateman
is currently serving time

at HMP Full Sutton
for GBH and common assault.

- Nice guy.
- Like father, like son.

Mm.

Lee's apprenticeship
started young.

He was 5 years old

when Connor used to take him
poaching on the estate.

They would hide out
in the forest.

Oh, are you thinking
Lee's gone

to visit his dad in prison?

No, but I'm thinking he
might've gone back to his roots.

There's a hut in these woods
where Connor and Lee

used to hide out
until it got dark.

Okay, so we wait here
for backup.

It's literally a hundred meters
down that track.

Remember what Hitchens said?

There's no point
calling the cavalry

if Lee's not there, is there?

Cooper!

Cooper!

Damn it!

Gun!

Cooper, gun!

I said gun, you idiot!

That was just a bird scarer!

I'm arresting you for attempted
murder of a police officer.

I didn't know he was police!
I was just warning him off!

Cooper, are you okay?

Cooper, are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

Okay, then you can
walk yourself back to the car.

So at no point did you think
to call for backup?

We did, sir,
but we couldn't get a signal.

And there was no intel to
suggest that he was armed, sir.

And what was with
the heroics, Ben?

You're both lucky to be alive!

I let you down, sir.

Diane, go with Todd
and interview Bateman.

Sir.

It was hard enough
losing your dad.

We don't wanna lose you as well.

Go home, Ben.
Get some rest.

I hope you give these things
a proper boil wash.

I don't wanna be
wearing something

a rapist has been sweating in.

Disgusting.

Don't worry, Lee.

They're brand-new
out the packet.

Yeah, right.

Okay, let's talk about
Laura Kirkham, yeah?

Now, you were caught
smoking weed.

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let me stop you there before
you get too excited, yeah?

The only question
I'm gonna answer is,

"How do you like your tea,
Mr. Bateman?"

Builder's strength with a splash
of milk and four sugars.

Now, if you don't mind, I've got
some sleep to catch up on.

Couldn't get a wink last night.

Here we are.

Bar snacks included
in the apology.

Help yourself.

Are you okay?

It's just been five years.

So five years and we're still
no closer to-- to solving it.

It's the not knowing.

Eats away at you.

One thing I know is I can't
do this for another five years.

Can I ask what happened?

Everyone has a different theory.

Hitchens thought he'd driven
past and interrupted a burglary.

Eland thought it was
some out-of-town drug thing.

But I know...

I know somebody in Edendale
knows something,

but nobody's talking.

What about forensics?

Nothing, no fibres, no DNA.

And I'm conscious
that the longer this goes on,

the less likely we are
to solve the case.

And I feel like
I'm letting him down.

I need to get justice for him.

Why don't you step away?
I mean, just for a little while.

And give up?
No way.

Ben, you nearly
got yourself killed today.

Carry on like that
and you won't even be around

to get justice for your dad.

It is what it is.

Can I come on Saturday?

Pay my respects.

I'd like that very much.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Hello, Mr. Kirkham.
Thanks for seeing us.

We just wanted to ask you a few
questions about Lee Bateman.

Has he been charged
with murder yet?

Er, no,

we don't have enough
to charge him with yet.

That's why we're here.

Mr. Kirkham, why did you decide
to hire Lee in the first place?

I didn't.
Charlotte did.

She put an advert in
the local paper for a gardener

when I was away on business.

When I come back, there he was.

And when you caught Lee
talking with Laura,

you sent him to work away
from the house, is that right?

I told him that I wanted
the plague stone from Ravenside

digging up
and bringing back here.

I thought it'd look particularly
nice in the back of my garden.

Well, those stones
can weigh half a ton.

You seriously believed
Lee was gonna roll it

down here on his own?

I know it was
an impossible task.

Then why ask him to do it?

To remind him who's in charge.

Anyway, I fired him
a week later.

Has Lee been back
to the estate since?

Any staff here seen him
come back onto the property?

No. I think he took
my final warning very seriously.

What did you say to him?

"Trespassers will be shot."

Not exactly the grieving father,
is it?

And he's hell-bent on putting
the blame on Lee Bateman.

There is more going on
between those two

than Dominic's letting on,
I know it.

Alright, I'll tell the boss

that we need to find
that plague stone.

It's in the woods, so we
need to get the area searched.

In the meantime,
we'll go and ask Harry Dickinson

if he saw Lee creeping back
onto the estate

to meet up with Laura.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Cool.

- Hi, Helen.
- Hello.

Wasn't expecting to see you
till tomorrow.

I just had a few questions
for Harry.

This is DC Diane Fry.

He's over at Sam Beeley's place.

The two of them
spend a lot of time together

since his wife died.

Ah, thank you.

That's nice.

I were never good
at making stuff like that.

It's not for decoration.

I know. Erm... protection
from the Black Dog, right?

Ben told me the story.

It sounds to me
like the medieval folk

had a serious fox problem.

Really?

What about all the babies
being taken from their beds?

I'm guessing the Black Dog

was a good cover-up story
for infanticide.

Right, well, thank you, Helen.

DC Fry, you're new to Edendale,
aren't ya?

Yeah.

And it's very different
to what I'm used to.

I think you should spend a night
alone in the woods at Ravenside.

And what would be the point
in that?

Because when you start to hear
the trees whispering your name

and the shadows
start to change shape,

you'll realise
just how different

things really are here.

Right, well,
we won't keep you any longer.

Thank you.

Bye, Ben.
See you tomorrow.

- What is wrong with you?
- What?

It was a healthy debate,
science versus superstition.

What are you gonna realise
that people

don't have to justify
their beliefs to you?

Take people as they come.

Otherwise, no-one
is gonna talk to you.

Excuse me.
Mr. Beeley?

You are Sam Beeley, correct?

I'm Detective Cooper.
This is Detective Fry.

We're looking for Harry.

Just getting washed up.

Your hands alright?

Chickens got diseased.

We've just been hurrying things
along a bit.

What, by wringing their necks?

You got a better way
to put them out of their misery?

Harry, you're in trouble
with the law.

Mr. Dickinson, just wanted to
talk to you about Lee Bateman.

You've not seen him on
the estate this week, have you?

No.

Oh. What about in the woods at
Ravenside this Sunday evening?

I've already told ya,
I've seen no-one in there.

That's Black Dog territory now.

You'd be stupid to be
up there after dark.

What about the Kirkhams' house?

I wouldn't know
'cause I'm never near it.

If there's a problem
with the estate,

I'll leave Dominic
a message on his phone.

Okay.

Thank you.

Look at these two,
bloody clueless.

We can't have you coming
all this way for nothing.

Why don't you go up the barn,

help yourself to a couple
of chickens?

I thought you said
they were diseased.

You're not a fusspot,
are you, Detective?

You live near Ravenside,
don't you, Mr. Beeley?

Didn't see Lee or Laura there
this Sunday evening?

I were in bed by sunset,
reading me Bible.

This is a murder investigation, gentlemen.

It's a serious business.

Then why are you asking him
stupid bloody questions?

Did he see Lee in Ravenside?
There's 15 acres of trees.

Your dad'd be disappointed to
see you, lad, making hash of it.

- You knew him?
- Aye.

I met Joe Cooper
a couple of times.

He knew how to talk to country
folk, had a way about him.

He'd have sorted this murder
in no time.

Erm, I'm not sure
at the moment.

I found something.

- What's the story, Trace?
- Oh, hey.

Okay.

So, we have recovered
cigarette butts here,

but we found a used condom
on the altar,

so we've marked that urgent
and sent it to the lab, right?

This is the stone Dominic asked
Lee to take down to the house.

He didn't move it
very far, did he?

At least he didn't
cause any damage.

Oh, but he has.
He's unleashed the Black Dog.

Harry Dickinson told me

that they placed the stone
on top of the Black Dog

to trap it under the earth and
stop it coming into the village.

Why does everything
in Edendale have a story

or a legend attached to it?

Why can't a stone
just be a stone?

Let's get started, shall we?

We visited the church ruins.

It's a nice secluded spot

so no-one can see
what you're up to.

You've been having a lot
of fun up there, aren't ya?

But with a 16-year-old girl?

Shame on you.

You don't know what you're
talking about, mate.

Okay, now, we're thinking
you targeted Laura

just like you've done before
with other schoolgirls.

Laura's father told us
that he caught you

and his daughter getting high
on drugs you supplied.

Laura's now dead.

How do you think
that's gonna look to a jury?

Look, she wouldn't
leave me alone.

Right?
She always wanted to talk to me.

Go on.

She said she wanted
to escape her house

and needed my help to do it.

She had some beef with her dad.
I don't know.

I don't know
'cause I wasn't interested.

I'm a bit confused, Lee.

On the one hand, you're saying

you didn't want Laura
anywhere near ya,

but you were both found
smoking weed together.

Look, I had no choice.

Yeah? She told me,
if I didn't keep bringing it,

she would tell her dad I was
stealing stuff from the house

and I'd lose my job.

She is not as innocent
as she looks, that one.

She had the makings
of a real hustler.

Right, well,
we've got a problem, Lee,

because we believe you and Laura
met up at the church ruins.

This is some evidence
we found up there.

You're a big boy.
You know what that is.

It's a condom,

which leads me to think
getting high with Laura

was not the only thing
you were doing up there.

Right?
So all it takes is a DNA test.

And we can find out
who these belong to.

No comment.

No comment? Okay.

Well, maybe we should
go see Gemma,

see if she wants
to make a comment.

Whoa, Gemma doesn't need to know
what's been going on, does she?

Not unless
you start talking, Lee.

Alright, yeah.

Yeah. I did see someone
at the church.

We both knew it was stupid
and dangerous, but...

it was just a hook-up,
no strings.

Who was this someone?

And what do you mean
by it was dangerous?

In case the lord of the manor
found out.

She was worried what
her husband might do.

Hang on.

Are you saying you were seeing
Charlotte Kirkham?

For fun. Yeah.

But I told her once I'm married,
that's it.

Show's over.

Yeah.

Not as perfect as they look,
that Kirkham family, right?

And neither are you, Lee.

I know.

But I'm trying to become better.

And Gemma knows
I've made mistakes,

but she believes in me.

That-- That woman is my future.

And when I say my vows, I'm
gonna mean every single word.

I'm afraid Dominic
is in his office on a call.

It's okay. Erm, we actually
needed to speak to you

about a private matter.

Oh?

Lee Bateman has told us

he was meeting up with you
in secret at the church.

He's lying.

I wouldn't believe a word
that comes out of his mouth.

Well, we've found condoms
in the church ruins.

DNA tests will give us
the answers we need.

But you could help
speed things up.

Help us find Laura's killer.

Charlotte,
were you meeting up with Lee?

We need to know the truth.

Yes.

It was just a distraction.

A distraction from what?

Being trapped in this house.

It may look impressive
from the driveway,

but once you're inside,
it's like a bloody mausoleum.

Well, why come here, then?

Dominic wanted to buy
somewhere he could renovate,

show off to his wealthy clients.

Oh, it's fine for him.

He gets to leave,
travel the world on business.

But me, I'm left floating
from room to room.

Did Dominic know about you two?

I'm sure he would have
said something if he found out.

What about Laura?
Did she know?

God, I hope not.

It was me that let Lee
into the house.

Is she dead because of me?

Did I do this?

I'm wondering if Laura knew
about Lee and her mum

having the affair.

And what if she did?

Well, maybe getting the weed
out of Lee wasn't enough.

Maybe she wanted more so
she threatened to tell Dominic

about the affair
until she got it.

And Lee pushed back... hard.

Yeah.

Sarge, er, we need to speak
to Lee again.

Too late.
He's walked.

You what?

He's out on bail
with strict instructions--

check in with us
three times a week,

ordered not to leave Edendale.

Yeah, apparently, his solicitor

made an emotional plea
to the magistrate,

saying that, you know,
Lee getting married this week

was a sign
he was turning his life around.

Even though he tried
to end mine?

- Mm.
- Who's telling Kirkhams?

Oh, you cowards!

Dominic, I heard the phone.
What's happened?

They've released Lee Bateman.

How could that have happened?

Dominic.

Dominic!

Look, babes, I just got out.

I'm so sorry for all this.

I'll explain it all
when I get home.
