Original subtitles

Feelin' a bit rough this morning?

I'm fine.

You got here quickly, Doctor.

Dr. Taylor: You know us pathologists.

Like vultures, we can smell death.

He was found by a couple out running.

Based on body temperature and rigor,

I'd say he's been here all night.

No weapon. Got a shell casing, though.

22 calibre. Most likely a hunting rifle.

I don't fancy our chance of finding any witnesses.

Dr. Taylor: SOCOs discovered his vehicle

at the edge of the woods.

Ben.

Looks like Mr. Dudzik had company recently.

So, as you know,

we now have another body to deal with--

Nikolai Dudzik, shot in Hogtail Woods.

On the plus side, he's not missing any body parts,

so we don't need to worry about being hexed

by Devil's Kneecap or something.

Safe to say, this case is unusual.

So it's no surprise that the local press

have taken an interest.

And it won't be long before the nationals are far behind.

I want, at the end of the day,

to be able to report that we've made concrete progress.

Ben, Diane, stay on the Tanglewood Farm bodies.

Nikolai's death has to be connected somehow.

Anything else?

Yes, erm, we've just had

the soil analysis results from Tanglewood Farm,

but it doesn't state on the email who ordered them.

Soil analysis?

Oh, come on. Come on.

Who's been wasting our limited resources

ordering expensive tests?

Er, me, sir.

You better have a bloody good reason.

You'll write them off for me, yeah?

Yeah. I mean--

Any results yet on the hair from Nikolai's van?

Oh, earliest we'll get the DNA results back

will be tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, I do want to buy you

a "welcome to Edendale" drink.

Erm, sounds like a plan.

Erm, Ben, you're in, right?

Sure.

So, are you sorted with somewhere to stay or...?

A flat in town. It'll do for now.

Oh, right. Just you, is it?

Can't drag some fella out here, middle of nowhere.

Just me.

How long are you staying? A few months? Years?

I haven't really thought that far ahead, so...

No, no, no.

You seem like the type who has a plan.

Just going to take it day by day.

Hmm.

Er, I need a drink.

Thanks for coming.

I didn't really know the whole etiquette,

'cause we didn't do the after-work-drinks thing

in Leeds.

And thanks for covering for me today.

Soil analysis?

In Leeds, that would be considered best practice.

No, I get it.

And partners should have each other's backs, right?

Yeah. Look...

I am sorry about that.

I should have backed you up with Hitchens yesterday.

It's alright.

What are those?

Corn dollies.

My gran used to say the spirit of the corn lived inside them

during the winter.

And in the spring, they were buried in the ground

and brought the spirit back to life.

Right.

People round here like their traditions.

Yeah, I'm starting to notice.

Why don't we talk about summat else?

Erm...

Okay.

What are you really doing in Edendale?

'Cause we don't get many coppers coming here

'cause they fancy a break.

It's tricky to get noticed in Leeds, so...

I thought I'd make my mark out here in the sticks.

Is that so? Okay.

Well, you might be a good city copper, but...

this rural policing is...

harder than it looks.

Mm.

Look, it's different for you 'cause...

you got to learn everything from your dad.

Why didn't you say Barrel was your old man?

I mean, actually, I should have guessed 'cause...

"Cooper" means barrel maker, doesn't it?

So... what happened?

And look, you are more than welcome

to tell me to mind my own business.

Yeah, do that.

Right, Benny boy.

Let's you and me...

show this lass how we drink in the country.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Laura, just let me come round and show you my pouring skills.

I'm very good.

Will he be alright getting home?

The road tilts towards his front door.

He'll be fine.

That pint's been there all night.

- Surprised it didn't get nicked. - That's another local tradition.

Don't worry about it.

- Alright? - Erm, yeah.

It's just a mate seeing if I settled in alright.

There you are. That's for you.

- Your expensive test. - Thank you.

You do know that all those have agricultural uses, don't you?

I used to work on my grandparents' farm.

Alright. Hydrogen peroxide. That's hair bleach.

Added to feed to help fibre digestion.

Phenylacetic acid, then?

I don't know. Probably a fertiliser.

Er, you've a visitor at front desk, Ben.

- It's Alex Barcroft. - Okay, cheers, Tracy.

Erm, listen, all I'm saying is, it's not Leeds, right?

You waste money on stuff like that,

you're gonna have Hitchens on your back.

- Get it. Thanks. - Alright.

I go away for 24 hours

and I come back and me builder's gone AWOL.

And then I find a note from him

saying that he's been dragged in here by you lot.

- So what's going on? - You haven't heard, have you?

Heard what?

Don't worry. It's not cake.

Oh, I can see that.

Chicken soup.

Eat it. It'll make you feel better.

And two decongestants, yeah?

Thank you. That's very kind.

You're welcome.

We're a small team, so we need everyone fighting fit.

Thank you.

Tracy, can-- can I ask you summat?

Yeah, sure.

How did Ben's dad die?

I mean, judging by the medal,

I'm assuming it was in the line of duty.

Er, yeah.

Erm, Joe Cooper was found beside his car out at Boggart's Bridge,

outside of town, beaten to death.

Did they find out who did it?

- Must have suspects, at least. - Too many.

I mean, Joe Cooper put so many criminals behind bars.

Listen, tread carefully, okay?

Benny gets stopped most days by old dears offering condolences,

and he has to walk past that plaque outside.

Can't even go to the pub without being reminded.

- The pint on the bar? - Mm-hmm.

First copper in the bar each night

buys a beer for Joe Cooper.

For all he knows, the killer's still walking around Edendale.

- Makes it hard to move on. - Yeah.

Now eat your soup.

Thank you.

What happened?

Well, I, erm-- I can't discuss an active case,

but we are treating it as suspicious.

Are you saying he was murdered?

Like I said, I can't discuss it.

Come on, young Cooper. It's me. Eh?

Your dad used to tell me all sorts

about what was going on around here.

I know, and as soon as I have some news,

you'll be the first to know, I promise.

Make sure you do.

What a mess, eh?

Ta.

Ahh.

"Pseudoephedrine, nasal decongestant."

How much do you know about decongestants?

Why, are you putting together a pub quiz too?

Most decongestants used to contain pseudoephedrine.

They took it out 'cause criminals could use it

to make crystal meth.

So they had to use another method

involving methylamine and phenylacetic acid,

both chemicals found in the soil analysis.

That is why the farm stank of chemicals.

I bet Nikolai was involved.

Whoa, whoa, hang on a minute, right?

Like most towns, we have our fair share of users,

but a meth lab?

- Come on. - All the other chemicals

are also compatible with drugs manufacture.

Now, I am telling you,

someone was making crystal meth on Tanglewood Farm.

Should we tell Hitchens?

Er, there's something you should see.

Shh.

Right, so I did an ANPR search on Nikolai Dudzik's car.

Got a hit, so I checked CCTV footage.

Shows up on West Street here the day before yesterday.

He said his daughter was back in Poland.

No, that's-- that's not his daughter.

- Bring it back a bit. - Okay.

That's Cara Doyle.

Does Cyrus know about this?

No, not yet.

He's gone back up to Hogtail Woods.

Hitchens said we need to stay on Tanglewood Farm bodies.

Like the man said, it's all connected.

- No! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, listen to me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Calm down, alright? Calm down.

You need to come with us because of what happened with Nikolai.

- Listen to me. Listen to me. - No!

You're coming with us.

- Ben? - Yes.

Look at that.

That's my private stuff!

Now, we know you was with Nikolai

the day before yesterday.

You were seen on CCTV cameras in Edendale town centre.

Why were you in Nikolai's van?

We found your hair on the headrest.

So we'll have the DNA evidence to prove that you were there.

We also found Nikolai's wallet in your bag.

Forensics will show residue of the gunshot

on your skin and clothes.

I've got to be honest with you, Cara.

It's not looking good for you right now.

I didn't kill him.

But you were there, right?

Okay. New question.

Can you tell me who he is?

Just some fella I met. Can't remember his name.

Are you sure about that?

'Cause you look really comfortable.

So, boyfriend?

Family, then?

Why do you care?

Cara, a body was found at Tanglewood Farm.

Two bodies, actually. You were staying up at the farm.

I told you. Don't know anything.

We have reason to believe the first body belongs to that man.

Why would you think that?

This crucifix was taken from you when you were arrested.

This crucifix, which is identical,

was found with the body.

No, no. It's not him.

It can't be. Nikolai said it wasn't him.

What's his name, Cara?

He lied to me.

Tell us who he is.

Cara, don't you want to find out what happened to him?

It's Tommy.

He's my brother.

Got given these by our foster mum.

Me and Tommy came over from Dublin together.

Tommy got in with this gang.

Dealing.

He started using.

We both did.

Meth?

Tommy owed the gang money. Lots of it.

Told me he'd found a way to pay them back.

Working up at Tanglewood, making meth for this gang?

He'd come home stinking of chemicals.

Then, one day, he just... vanished.

Did you ever contact the police, Cara?

Like you lot would care.

Do you think you could identify any of the members

of this organisation?

Only Nikolai.

He told me...

Tommy walked out one day and didn't come back.

And I was stupid enough to believe him.

Why were you in Nikolai's van the other day?

He saw me on the street.

Said I could crash at his for the night.

And then I was supposed to leave Edendale.

Why?

He told me it's not safe for me here.

I fell asleep and...

when I woke up, we were by the woods.

Nik wandered off.

That's when I nabbed his wallet.

Habit, I guess.

Then I heard the gunshot.

Did you see anyone else up there?

I was scared.

I got out of the van and I ran.

So, as far as we know, victim eight is Tommy Doyle.

He worked on Tanglewood Farm, probably making meth.

He was killed somehow and... buried without his hand.

Victim B was older,

possibly this Billy chap

who died on the farm in the distant past.

The head was removed.

It was kept at the property

until it was given to Roy Palfreyman,

who had it buried in a local churchyard.

Hmm. I mean, we also have Nikolai Dudzik,

farm manager turned builder.

Shot in the woods. Thoughts?

I don't believe Cara shot Nikolai.

She's a mess, but she's not a killer.

Yeah, but we should wait for forensics

before we make that call.

So, we know Raymond

believed in the power of the screaming skull.

Because he didn't want his brother

to remove Billy from the farm.

So, if Raymond was involved in this meth business,

wouldn't he also believe that a hand of glory

would keep his crimes hidden?

Where are you going with this?

Raymond had the ingredients to make a hand of glory.

So, if we find it and if the hand belongs to Tommy...

Oh, it would prove Raymond Carlisle was involved

- in Tommy's death. - Mm.

Oh.

Hypothetically speaking, if you're right,

and I'm not saying you are,

wouldn't Raymond get rid of the hand when he moved out?

No, no, it was-- it was protecting him.

He wouldn't have destroyed it.

He went to the trouble of sawing off a man's hand,

so he would have kept it safe.

Okay, then, so where is it?

It's hidden. It's hidden in here somewhere.

Trust me, it's more likely he probably threw it out

in the incinerator round the back.

Got rid of the evidence before he left.

- That's it. - What?

Fire.

That book mentioned a hall in Leeds

where a hand of glory was discovered in a nook

above a fireplace.

Apparently, the smoke disguised the smell.

Go on, then.

Okay.

This belonged to Derek Carlisle.

So, Derek left Edendale without his watch or his wallet?

I don't think he left at all.

Okay. Thank you, Dr. Taylor. That's very helpful.

Still running tests.

But she's saying the remains of Victim B

fit the age and build of Derek Carlisle.

And it's feasible that he's only been down there for 10 years.

It's a shallow grave.

It's damp, which accelerates decay.

And it makes the skeleton look much older.

So, not some century-old soldier named Billy, then?

None of this makes any sense.

The headless body can't belong to Derek Carlisle

because Palfreyman told us that Derek gave him the head.

Then there's only one explanation.

Palfreyman must be lying.

Right, so before he took early retirement, Roy Palfreyman

had a disciplinary case open against him.

I remember the rumours. What was he accused of again?

Abuse of authority and criminal conduct

in relation to the Bribery Act 2010.

I knew he was corrupt.

Doesn't mean he'd cover up a murder, though.

Why not?

Maybe Raymond Carlisle made it worth his while.

Said, "It's the peanuts. They're complimentary."

Oh, here we go.

Just because I'm retired don't mean I'm not busy.

Yeah. You look it.

Sorry to disturb you again.

Just one or two things we need to clarify.

Like what?

We've reason to believe that Derek Carlisle

didn't leave Edendale and that he never gave you that head.

How'd you figure that? I showed you the photograph.

Yeah, I mean, well, you could have got it off of the internet

for all we know.

Why would I do a thing like that?

The headless body found at Tanglewood

wasn't some relic from generations past.

It was buried around 10 years ago,

the same time Derek disappeared.

So?

So did Raymond kill his brother

and then pay you off to help cover it up?

What would your dad say to all this, eh?

Accusing a fellow cop? Without evidence, I might add.

He'd tell you to answer the question.

Come on. It's not the first time

your ethics have been called into question, is it?

I take it you jumped before you were pushed?

Don't you think you're missing the obvious here?

Hm? Not that I'd tell you how to do your job.

Alright, then. Humour us.

Oh, I don't know.

A couple of fine young police officers like yourselves.

I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually if you work together.

After all, two heads are better than one, eh?

Now, unless you're intending to arrest me,

I'm gonna ask you to get lost.

- Roy-- - Hey!

That's Mr. Palfreyman to you, lad.

Now, piss off!

What do you think he meant, then?

Lying through his teeth, obviously.

We just need to prove it.

No, he was right.

We're missing something.

But what are we missing?

I've been a fool.

"Two heads are better than one."

Two heads are better than one.

We need to go back to Lowbridge.

Well, I don't care about your protocols.

Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle.

We'd like to have a look around, if that's alright with you.

If you don't want them to--

Yeah, well, we'd just get a warrant, so...

When you told us you'd be gone any day now, what did you mean?

Like I told you, Raymond has been in and out...

Because it's been 12 months since you left Tanglewood.

Is that right?

DC Fry, can you tell us what happens

when you remove a screaming skull from its home, please?

Yeah, you're cursed to die within the year.

This is ridiculous.

Mr. Carlisle, do we have your consent to search this room?

Do what you like. Won't change anything.

Are any of Mr. Carlisle's stuff kept elsewhere?

Everything should be here.

He didn't bring much with him.

Just some clothes, a few personal items.

- Cooper? - Yes?

- Cooper? - Yeah?

We're gonna have to open this, Mr. Carlisle.

Before we do, is there anything you'd like to tell us?

Open it.

DCI Ben Cooper and Diane Fry

interviewing Raymond Carlisle with legal representation.

Finally, Mrs. Danielle Entwhistle

is present at Raymond Carlisle's request

to act as an appropriate adult.

Let's proceed.

Mr. Carlisle, we have reason to believe

that the illegal production of crystal methamphetamine

was taking place on Tanglewood Farm.

Now, this would have been

while it was still under your ownership.

I don't even know what that is.

Let's try another one, Mr. Carlisle.

The head that we found in your room,

who did it belong to?

We believe the skull recovered from your room

belonged to your brother, Derek Carlisle.

DNA tests are under way to confirm this.

How did your brother die, Raymond?

He slipped on the stairs. Broke his neck.

I weren't anywhere near him.

Our colleagues did a preliminary examination

of the skull found in your possession.

There are fractures on the rear section

of the right parietal bone,

consistent with being hit on the back of the head

with a blunt object.

Families can be difficult, can't they, Raymond?

Even people who are supposed to love each other

can cause so much pain.

Why don't you tell us what really happened to your brother?

No, no, no.

I killed him, but it was self-defence.

He said he was going to get his gun.

He-- He told me he--

he wouldn't be forced out of his own farm.

I panicked.

I hit him on the head with a skillet.

So I buried him in the yard.

Except for the head?

I needed to lift the curse.

Things had been bad since-- since Terry got rid of Billy.

Billy being a screaming skull kept on the property

prior to your brother's death?

That's right. The farm needed protection.

And what about the drugs, Mr. Carlisle?

He told me we were making our own fertilisers

and pesticides and such to save money.

Who told you that, Raymond?

Oh, what's his name?

Oh, Nikolai.

Did Mr. Nikolai Dudzik threaten you, force you to keep quiet?

No, he weren't a bad lad.

Just trying to make a better life.

Not pure greed like some people.

We've been trying to figure out

why you'd take the head with you, Raymond.

Because it would mean you were cursed, right?

To die within the year.

And that the farm was cursed, your family home.

Anybody else moving into the farm,

you wouldn't want them to be happy, is that right?

No.

Then why did you take it, Raymond?

Because...

...he's my brother.

Thank you.

Well?

They've, erm, shipped him back to Lowbridge

while the CPS decide what to do with him.

Anything in the PM for Tommy Doyle?

No, just some bone splintering in the wrist

where the hand's missing.

Splintering?

I mean, that's the kind of injury you see in soldiers.

Or victims of industrial accidents.

The chances are, he lost his hand in an explosion

whilst making meth at Tanglewood.

Well, even if he did,

we can't be sure that that was the cause of death.

But maybe...

there's some reason why Nikolai shut everything down.

Didn't want people coming round asking questions.

Who killed Nikolai, then? A rival gang?

Nah, he's out of the game. There's no point.

Right.

Remember when Raymond was talking about Nikolai?

He said he wasn't greedy, like some people.

What if there was someone else involved in the meth lab...

who didn't want Nikolai talking,

who knew Raymond had been arrested?

So they get a lawyer in,

A lawyer that Raymond can't afford

because he's got no relatives, he's got no money.

I don't know.

Hang on a minute.

No, it can't.

- What? - Have a look.

That's a bit above and beyond for a volunteer.

Too much of a stretch, the carer?

I mean, every time we turned up at the care home,

she did try to get rid of us.

She did not want us poking around, that's for sure.

Follow me.

Trace, do you know a Danielle Entwhistle?

Works up at Lowbridge.

Danielle? Oh, Danni, yeah.

Er, our Jimmy was seeing her years back.

Well, before she were married, of course.

So, Entwhistle is her married name?

Yeah. She'd be...

Danielle...

Barcroft.

Alex Barcroft's daughter. Thanks, Trace.

Right.

So you think that Alex Barcroft

is the mastermind behind the meth lab?

And that he hired Dudzik to run it?

Er, exactly that, sir.

According to the manager at Lowbridge,

Danielle started volunteering

only after Raymond Carlisle had arrived there,

said that her father's successful business

allowed her to give something back to the community.

She immediately latched on to Raymond,

paid him a lot of attention.

Now, we think she was originally sent there by her dad

to groom Raymond,

you know, persuade him to sell them Tanglewood Farm.

Well, I thought that's what the money was for,

first refusal to buy the farm.

That's what Alex Barcroft told us.

Now, we believe those payments were, in fact, bribes

to allow him to manufacture meth on Tanglewood.

I don't know.

I mean, why not use his own farm?

Oh. Meth production contaminates the land.

Poisons leach into the soil.

Put it this way, you wouldn't want it in your back garden.

I've checked Alex Barcroft's company accounts,

and he generates more income per land

than any other farm in the county.

We think he was laundering drug money on his farm

and used that money to buy Tanglewood.

But this is all circumstantial.

I mean, have you got anything concrete?

Let us have a search warrant for Mr. Barcroft's farm.

Then we will find you something, sir.

No, no.

Stake out the farm.

And if he moves anywhere, follow him.

I'll give you 48 hours to come up with some actual evidence.

Yes, sir.

Do you want me to take over for a bit?

- No, no, I'm good. - Right.

Do you not miss Leeds?

Yeah and no.

Mm.

I miss the shops.

No, I miss being able to get whatever food I want

whenever I want.

And I really miss proper fried chicken.

What about family? Friends?

No, I'm fine by myself.

Right. Fair enough.

Oh, now I'm really hungry.

Yeah, me too.

Look! He's moving.

That's a dead end.

Must go somewhere.

What are you doing?

- What are you doing? - I'm going on foot.

I don't want him to see us coming.

Should we call for backup first?

Let's just go check it out.

You don't want to get Hitchens out of his bed

at this time in the morning.

This looks abandoned.

Let's just keep our heads down, yeah?

Whoa.

He must have moved the meth lab here

after the explosion at Tanglewood.

Let's call it in.

Drop your phone.

Both of you.

What's the plan, Danielle?

We're going for a walk.

Up there.

Up against the wall.

Danielle, whatever your dad's got you involved in,

you don't have to do this, you know?

Dad?

Think he's got the imagination for all this?

If it was up to him,

we'd still be living on government handouts.

You're saying this was all your idea?

Call it diversification.

It was that or bankruptcy.

I'm building a future here.

And I won't let you take that away from me.

Danielle?

Danielle, listen to me.

Think about what you're doing.

You're not gonna kill two police officers.

What's the alternative?

Jail?

I know you haven't called this in.

With you two gone,

we'll have the time to clean up and clear out.

Danielle!

Move!

Go, go, go, go.

Split up! Split up!

Hide in there! Hide in there!

I'm gonna draw him away.

You're gonna call for backup, yes?

Yeah.

Get out of here, Danielle!

Aah!

You can't run forever.

There's no way out, lad.

Shit!

Might as well get this over with.

Alex.

I can't let you put my little girl in jail.

Please, I am a police officer.

Please, you don't need to do this.

You brought this on yourself...

young Cooper.

You didn't call for backup, then?

I got distracted.

Pass me your cuffs.

Where are yours?

We know Tommy Doyle was a user.

Did he help himself to some of the merchandise?

And you felt the need to make an example of him?

No comment.

Bit medieval, isn't it?

Cutting off a man's hand for stealing.

No comment.

We know Danielle was in charge.

Did she authorise the murder of Tommy Doyle?

No, that were an accident.

The lad, he got careless.

The vat overheated.

It exploded and blew his hand clean off.

He bled out before anyone could call an ambulance.

Doesn't mean she's not responsible.

Nikolai was the one who buried him.

No wonder he got cold feet.

You know the rifle you threatened us with

was the same type as the one that killed Mr. Dudzik.

Couldn't let him rat you out, could you?

The only question is... who pulled the trigger?

No comment.

Forensics can work miracles, Danielle.

Gunshot residue on skin and clothes.

Danielle knew nothing about it.

It were me. I shot him.

He told you that, did he?

Fine.

He wanted to take care of it himself.

Make himself useful. What does it matter now?

You know, we're just the same as every other farm out there.

Trying to survive.

We are the beating heart of this bloody country.

And you would have us on our knees begging for scraps.

Or turning our farms into damned eco-reserves.

I think that's all we need for now.

Hey, hey.

- Hey. - Well done, you two.

- Nice. - Well done.

Good job, guys.

Two mystery corpses identified.

Three unlawful deaths solved.

And a major drugs op taken down.

You two, you make a good team.

Well done.

Thank you, sir. Thanks.

Thank you.

Your father's son.

Thank you.

Plan to sticking around, then?

Why not?

I could think of worse places to be stationed.

It was brave, what you did back there.

- Your dad'd be proud. - I don't know about that.

He'd have torn a strip off me

for not calling for backup first,

like you said we should.

But thank you.

Not gonna get that?

Oh, it's probably just my old partner checking

I haven't been trampled to death by a cow yet.

Pint?

Ah, no, not tonight. I should check on Mum.

But thank you.

- Say hi from me. - Will do.

I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?

Bye.

Mum?
