Man or female?

Dr. Taylor: That'll have to wait for now.

That's a nice bracelet.

Can you at least tell us how long it's been in the ground?

See my previous answer.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Is it her? Is it my Emma? Is it her?

Is it our Emma? Is it her?

Sorry, we actually don't know anything at this point.

- Sorry, guys. Sorry. - I know it's her!

- It's not Emma, love. - It's her!

It's not, Emma. It can't be. She's out there somewhere.

She's alive. I can feel it. You can, too.

Tell me you can?

I don't understand.

Why would Neil cover up her body

when you could just call the police like a normal person?

And then instead he tells Derek he's gonna go see someone.

And ends up dead in a disused quarry.

I'm meant to be the one who offers support.

But look at me.

When did Neil start clearin' the graveyard?

Two days ago.

It had become overgrown.

Neil was helping tidy it up.

Did anyone voice concerns about that?

Not to me, they didn't. He was doing a good thing.

I did think it was weird that he just up and left

before finishing.

Oh, sorry. Uh... I need to answer this.

Um... I'll be back in a minute.

Go on, then.

Go on, say it.

Say what?

You think that's Emma's body that Neil dug up, don't ya?

And that her parents put her there, right?

Or at least the dad did,

judging by the mum's reaction.

No, but he would have had to have known

about their escape plan.

Okay, let's just say he did.

And on the day she went to meet Neil,

well, he went after her, pulled up, and grabbed her

before Neil got there.

I mean, it would be the perfect spot to go undetected

because Emma and Neil had already made sure of it.

Okay, but if that was the case,

then Neil would have known they'd taken her

when he got there, 'cause she's not there.

So why not ring the police then, report her missin'?

You know, she's a young girl. But no.

Instead, he moves back to Withens,

doesn't point the finger of suspicion

at anyone in five years?

Nah, I'm not buyin' that.

It's Sarge.

They found Neil's car. Let's go.

It's near where the body were found.

- This is nice. - Look at this handsome bastard.

He's a Rams fan.

Any sign of Neil's phone, Sarge?

No, not a sniff. No.

Look, are you tellin' me he bought all this

from doin' odd jobs?

I'll tell you something. I've seen this before.

It was reported stolen. I'm sure of it.

Lucas Oxley, when did he become a player in this?

The last known person to see Neil Goodwin alive, sir.

Mm. We believe that he was threatenin' Neil over the sale

of his house to Firth Water.

How come?

Well, Firth Water plan to flatten Withens

and build a water refinery in its place.

The villagers are furious.

One of the villagers, Michael Hebden,

who works for the water company.

He helped Neil sell his house in secret.

But if word gets out...

Yeah, we all know what Oxley's capable of.

Anything else?

The Runshaws, we believe they were abusin' Emma.

It's just a theory for now.

But the number of hospital visits she had

seems to point to that.

And no one spotted that five years ago?

I just got lucky, sir.

So we think Neil actually helped Emma escape their clutches.

They found out.

Which gives both the Runshaws motive.

Well, have they got alibis?

Conveniently, they've given each other an alibi, sir.

But how did they find out about Neil?

I mean, was this recently?

Yeah, um, Derek Alton, the vicar,

He told them that he'd given Neil a false alibi.

Oh, man of God lies to the police.

Well, he had to, sir.

He was in a relationship with Neil.

The things people do for love.

So, if I was a bettin' man,

who would you tell me to put my money on?

- Runshaws. - Alton.

Great.

Is that it?

Well, judging by the inside of Neil's car,

sir, he's definitely on the rub.

Well, the Sarge is convinced, anyway.

Which brings in another factor.

Um, we think Neil could have had a falling out

with whoever he's dealing with.

And then we think it could be that person's phone

that we found up at Mamta.

Who throws away their own phone?

Yeah, we have that question, also,

but we just can't seem to figure it out yet.

But yeah, that's the picture, as it stands.

Here he is.

I'm just gonna put this up there.

Remember my hunch about this bad boy?

Turns out it was stolen from an address in Withens, no less.

It was an heirloom. Where'd you find it?

We've reason to believe Neil Goodwin stole it.

Neil wasn't a thief.

He was about the only decent person around here.

Well, we found it in his car.

I can't believe that of him.

He put the security grilles over the windows,

installed the front door.

Damn thing weighs a ton. He did all that to protect me.

Protect you?

You didn't say you needed protectin'.

Well, I would've thought it was obvious.

I'm party to the death of this crappy little village.

So you were threatened as well?

They come every day.

The threats, do you keep them?

Because we would need to see them.

No, you misunderstand me.

They come in person.

What the hell?

I told ya. Every day, without fail.

The border rats...

Well, can you see what they're holdin'?

- Yeah, it's black walnut. - Oxley makes them.

I'm gonna have a word with them.

No, uh, they'll go away in a bit.

It's best to wait them out.

- Yeah, I can't do that. - No, please, they can't get in.

We're safe in here. Neil saw to that.

It's alright. We're the police. We'll be fine.

Leave it to us.

Excuse me.

- Police. - You wanna take off your masks?

We need to ask you some questions.

Take off your masks and take a step back.

- We're not gonna say it again, get back. - Get back!

I said, get back!

Leave me alone!

- Keep Firth Water out! - You hear me?

- Leave me alone! - Mr. Hebden, put the gun down.

I'm warning you.

Michael, we're the police, remember?

We're here to help.

I said, leave me alone.

We're here to find out what happened to Neil, Mr. Hebden.

Put the gun down, Mr. Hebden.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Yeah. Alright.

We need to check if Hebden has a licence for that shotgun.

Although I don't think he's in any fit mental state to own one,

but you never know.

And we need to find out who's behind the border rats.

Because any one of them could've been threatening Neil,

and we can't even unmask them without a warrant.

There's me thinking Leeds were bad.

Oh, come on.

You need to tell me about this,

because whatever happened in Leeds has followed you here.

- And don't tell me it's nothin'. - But it's nothin'.

You don't drive the whole way to Edendale

to deliver a teddy bear.

That's mad.

When I broke up with him,

he couldn't accept it,

to the point where I had to move here.

And now the problem is, he still won't accept it.

Does this guy have a name?

It's David... David Brenner.

Right. And is David married?

I'm takin' that as a yes.

Look, promise, I didn't know.

I didn't know, and as soon as I found out

that he had a wife and kids, I ended it.

If you want my advice,

I'd be pickin' up the phone

and I'd be puttin' him on stalking charges.

Ben, it's not that easy.

Why? Tell me.

Well, can I at least see a photo of this guy?

There.

Relax. It's the boss.

Hello?

Yeah.

- You wanted to see us, sir? - Yeah. Take a seat.

We've just had the report on the body

in Withens graveyard.

Is it Emma Runshaw's?

No, turns out, it's Lily Oxley,

Lucas Oxley's daughter-in-law.

She's been lyin' in that graveyard for years,

from around about the time that she supposedly moved to Wales.

So dad was right. Something did happen to her.

Well, if she turned her husband in,

Lucas Oxley could've found out and, well, turned on her.

Maybe Neil recognised her initials from the bracelet.

That could be what he wanted to talk to Oxley about

outside the pub.

Dr. Taylor mentions that Lily was bludgeoned to death

and that there are particles of black walnut in the wound.

So it has all the similarities of Neil Goodwin's murder.

Lucas Oxley?

I thought I smelled somethin' when I met ya.

You're Joe Cooper's son.

Couldn't place you at first,

but there's a stink of your dad about ya.

Well, just so you know, Lucas,

we've ID'd the person found at the church.

It was your daughter-in-law, Lily.

Can't be, she went travelin'-- packed a bag and took off.

No. It's her, Lucas, make no mistake.

Neil found her when he was clearin' up.

She'd been buried there for years.

I suppose it saves on a funeral, then,

what with her havin' been buried already?

You can pop her back in when you're done.

We heard there were animosity between you and Neil.

Neil had some things he needed sellin'.

There was no animosity.

Why would I hurt Neil? I had nothing against him.

Where were you the day that Neil were murdered?

I was in the pub till closin' time, rehearsin'.

Oh, yeah? Rehearsing what?

You'll have to come down next time and see for yourself.

Okay, can anyone confirm that you were in the pub that whole time?

Ask the vicar. He'll tell ya.

Oh, so Derek Alton's a border rat, too?

'Course he is.

Dancin' and chantin' to an air of bein'.

Busman's holiday for him.

But he knows as well as anyone,

you have to rehearse till you're perfect

or else the spirits won't come.

What do you mean by that, Lucas?

We're in a fight for our lives, sweetheart.

And we're soberin' up.

And mark my words, they'll come.

And their hunger and rage'll fall...

across this village.

And the rats will come out to feast.

Come on.

We are Withens through and through.

We know what it means to be from a place like this.

Those like Firth Water,

they try to pick on the little guy.

Well, they don't understand what we've been through.

They don't understand the way of the border rats.

Decades have gone by since our ancestors lost their lives,

all for some useless quarry.

Those men fought till the very end.

And we will do, too.

We honour them each and every day.

But now more than ever.

Firth Water are closin' in.

This war we've been ready for

is comin' straight to our front doors.

- And this? This is our time now. - Border Rats:

This is our time for revenge,

for the border rats to rise up and take back what is ours.

Border Rats:

Firstly, it is wonderful to see so many here,

especially in light of recent events.

Anyway, we are here for Emma.

Not just to remember, but to reclaim her.

As in bring her back to Withens.

Through her art and all these wonderful photographs.

Sarah and Howard know that this village

is where she truly belongs.

Thank you.

Can I help?

Lucas Oxley needs an alibi.

And you've been happy to give 'em in the past, so...

Do you want to talk about this somewhere safer?

I wasn't in the pub that night.

I don't know why Lucas would say that.

So where were you then?

At the church. I was sorting a few things.

Can anyone verify that?

No?

You know, I've gotta say, uh...

I find it strange that you moved down here five years

after Neil ended the relationship.

That was pure coincidence.

You still had feelings for him, didn't ya?

Even after all these years, you couldn't get him out of your head?

No, that's not true.

When did you find out Neil had sold up?

He told me last week.

How did you take it?

I told him I was happy for him.

Even though you'd moved your entire life down here

just to be with him?

You said you were happy with it?

Well, we'd figured things out recently

and we agreed to be friends.

Did you tell anyone he was movin' away?

Why would I do that?

You're a border rat.

You would have known what that sale meant.

I only became a border rat to be closer to Neil.

I swear. I-I kept it to myself.

I-I knew people would be angry,

but-- but I'd never put Neil in danger.

No, but that's exactly what you did

when you told the Runshaws about your fake alibi, isn't it?

Wasn't it?

Talk us through your movements the night Neil died, please.

I went to his house.

He wasn't in, so...

I went looking for him,

and I ended up back at the church.

And then what?

When I went into my office,

I saw that someone had been in my cupboard.

The door was swinging open.

What'd you keep in there?

My border rat costume.

And my staff had been stolen.

[ Sighs ] Lucas,

we weren't sure you'd still be here.

Villagers only, no blow ins wanted.

That's not very nice, Lucas.

You've got the same smug face as your dad.

And look what happened to him.

Derek wasn't at the pub.

Lucas, you lied to us.

So who do you want to get now?

Do you wanna point out one of your friends

who can come along with us to the station,

and we'll find out they're lyin' and all.

Howard...

Come here a second.

Yes, Lucas.

Tell this pilgrim where I was

the night Neil got himself killed.

I'd have to have a think.

I said tell them.

He was rehearsing all night at the pub.

And you'd know this how?

Because...

I was rehearsing with him.

No one went home till closin'.

Your dad's probably looking down on you right now thinkin',

"Look at that.

My idiot son has inherited my idiot genes."

Leave it, Ben.

Yeah.

Leave it, Ben.

Arrogant bastard.

Look, if that's the case,

then Howard's alibi for Lucas

means that Sarah was on her own the night that Neil was killed.

Howard is scared stiff of Lucas.

He'll say anything to keep him sweet.

Sit down.

- One of them's lyin'. - Mm.

And if Sarah made Howard give her an alibi, then...

surely that's the act of a person with somethin' to hide.

Yeah, but we know Lucas made the staffs.

So all we have to do is find the staff that killed Neil,

and we've got him.

Nothin' else matters.

No. I need to speak with Sarah.

Okay.

Mrs. Runshaw...

It wasn't Emma's body that was dug up.

It was Lily Oxley.

So Howard's right?

Emma's still out there.

Mrs. Runshaw, according to Lucas Oxley,

Howard was with him when Neil was killed,

which isn't what you told us, so...

Do you wanna tell me why you lied?

I mean, we could take this to the police station.

It seems to me you're not quite as clever as Howard thought.

What do you mean by that?

So what if Howard wasn't at home with me?

It doesn't mean I wasn't there.

What I mean is, innocent people wouldn't lie.

I was waiting in all evening,

just like I do every night,

just in case Emma finds her way home.

Mrs. Runshaw, I'm here to talk about Neil.

We're tied together, mother and daughter,

in darkness and in light.

Emma knows that better than anyone.

Yeah, Emma definitely knows about darkness.

You've not got kids, have ya?

Sometimes a mother has to do things

that hurt both themselves and their child.

It's just a cross a parent has to bear.

You're not just a nurturer.

You're a teacher, too.

And some lessons take a little bit longer to sink in.

But I can assure you that everything was done with love

and care at the heart of it.

I found the staff on Lucas Oxley's property.

Looks like he was plannin' to burn it all.

Hopefully forensics will prove it was used to kill Neil.

And this is the Bible used to send the threats?

It's gotta be.

Do you think we can get him on Lily's murder as well?

He definitely has motive.

Forensics are checkin' out her bracelet for prints.

Be a great result, if we could.

You don't look convinced, Diane?

Lucas Oxley has an alibi for Neil's murder.

It just feels too easy.

Guys, evidence management just called.

It's about the burner they found in Mamta.

Let's save ourselves the hassle and just call this person back.

No 'cause that's tamperin' with evidence, Sarge.

So what are we gonna do, just stand around staring at it?

What good is that gonna do?

The caller ID is Neil.

I'll get Tracy to get a cell site location.

Oh, come on, even if she does, alright,

who's to say the caller's gonna stay around?

Why did you have to say that, Sarge?

Give it here.

I'm not takin' the rap for this.

Come on.

Neil... Hold on.

I thought this wasn't Neil's phone.

The Blue Kettle, that's a cafe north.

I already know where it is. Come on.

- Yeah, I'll come with you. - Okay.

Relax-- you look like a cop on the knobs.

Maybe they saw us.

No way...

That's Emma Runshaw.

Emma?

I'm afraid Neil's not comin'.

I don't understand.

Where is he? Who are you?

I'm Detective Constable Cooper.

This is Detective Constable Fry.

Um, look, maybe we should sit down and have a chat.

Why? What is this?

I think it's best you take a seat, Emma.

Where's Neil?

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid Neil was killed a few days ago.

What?

Emma, I understand that this is shockin',

but we need to ask you a few questions.

Do you want a drink, a tea or water before we start?

- What happened to him? - Well, that's why we're here.

We're tryin' to find that out.

We appreciate that this is hard,

but we need your help, Emma.

Do you think you can do that?

We'll start with Neil.

We're aware that he helped you get away from your parents.

He saved my life.

Not sure how long I would have lasted in that house.

I saw the brave girl stickers, so I understand.

It's my mum who's the terrifying one.

I bet she told you how she almost died

givin' birth to me.

She mentioned it.

Told me the same thing every day of my life,

like it was my fault.

"You nearly killed me."

Over and over she'd say it.

But sometimes words weren't enough.

She nearly knocked me into next week some days.

The next thing I know,

I'm lyin' there with a broken arm or a fractured jaw.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, Emma.

Why didn't your dad step in?

The amount of times I begged him to,

screamed myself hoarse, and he just stood there.

He did nothing except buy me a stupid doll afterwards.

Did anybody know? Did the services step in?

It started when I was, like, 2 years old.

And if you grow up not trustin' your own parents,

then what's gonna make you think you can trust any other adult?

But you did trust Neil.

I hadn't saved any money.

I didn't know where to go.

And then he came up with this plan and it worked.

Up until two weeks ago, I was living in Birmingham.

I was shuttin' up shop.

I work in a cafe,

and as I was turnin' the closed sign around,

I saw them, my parents.

They tried the door. Thank God they didn't see me.

I was in shadow,

but a few seconds earlier and they'd have walked in.

It was completely by chance,

but it was too close for comfort.

So Neil came up with another plan?

He told me to ditch everything-- my phone, my flat.

He told me to hide out until he could get some cash together.

But not by sellin' his house.

It would've took months for the cash to come through.

Of course not, and that wasn't happening anymore.

He changed his mind.

He'd sold up, Emma.

The last time I saw him,

he told me he was gonna talk to someone

down at the water company to call off the sale.

What? Wait...

Did Neil tell you why he wasn't sellin' up anymore?

Him and the vicar had come to some sort of agreement.

It had got to the point that Derek was doing Neil nutty

and it was drivin' him away.

But they figured it out

and Neil didn't need to move away anymore.

So how was he gonna get money for you?

Well, by sellin' the stuff he'd, you know, stolen.

As soon as he agreed a deal with Lucas Oxley,

he was gonna call me on the new phone he gave me,

told me to get ready to leave.

Do you know who Neil was meetin' up at the quarry?

I didn't know he was meetin' anyone, I really didn't!

Okay, okay. Um, last question, I promise.

How come you and Neil had swapped phones?

It was an accident.

He was in a hurry and he picked up mine by mistake.

We're gonna need to see that phone, Emma.

What happens now? You can't bring me into this.

You're part of a murder enquiry, Emma.

You can't let my parents know you found me,

not if Neil's not here to help me.

Please don't tell them.

Alright, as soon as we get this phone open,

the sooner we can find out who Neil was meetin' up with.

School pickup time.

We're gonna be stuck in traffic now.

Come on. You must know some shortcuts.

Ben?

What?

We're in Hope Valley.

And?

When we met Hebden at the quarry,

he said he was takin' a shortcut from work.

Firth Water's office is there in Hope Valley.

Remember the map? Come on.

Drivin' through the quarry takes him in the opposite direction.

What are you talkin' about?

Just drive and I'll explain.

Drive.

Mr. Habden, we need a word.

Michael, we need a word.

Michael?

Check the window.

Michael?

Michael.

No. I'll go out back.

He's runnin'.

- Mr. Hebden! - Michael!

Mr. Hebden, stop!

You're under arrest, turn round.

Turn round!

We were in Hope Valley earlier.

Tell us about the shortcut through the quarry

you take from work, please.

Uh, yeah, it's saved me a few times.

- Why do you ask? - It, uh...

turns out it isn't actually a shortcut.

It takes you in the opposite direction, you see?

Why lie to us, Mr. Hebden?

You see, we have Neil's phone,

and I think we'll find messages on there between you and him

arranging to meet up at the quarry

on the night he was murdered.

I didn't meet with Neil, I swear.

When did you find out

he decided to stay at Withens?

He wasn't. He was sellin' up.

We think he rang you and he wanted to meet up.

And he was gonna tell you he changed his mind.

And you saw your plans falling to pieces,

'cause if Neil didn't sell,

then no one else would follow suit.

And Firth Water would start

having to look at other sites

and you'd be stuck in Withens forever.

So you agreed to meetin' him?

- I certainly did not. - Come on, Michael.

- It'll all be on the phone. - Look, stop this please.

I know you don't have it. You're bluffin'. I can tell.

You thought you threw Neil's phone away

when you killed him, right?

But that was actually Emma Runshaw's phone

'cause Neil took hers by mistake.

So she had his and, uh...

Well, now we have it.

This is ridiculous.

Emma Runshaw disappeared years ago.

Well, we had a conversation with her this afternoon, Michael.

We can keep this up all day if you want.

Shall we jog your memory? Okay.

So, Neil tells you he isn't sellin'.

You've got border rats houndin' ya day and night.

Lucas Oxley is one of those rats.

And he's a man who can do a lot more than just threaten ya.

So you panic

and you realise you need to get Neil

to change his mind no matter what it takes.

Yeah, and you've got these thoughts goin' 'round your mind.

And then you see Reverend Alton

and you know where he keeps his staff.

And you take it, Michael.

Then you arrange to meet Neil at the quarry,

and when you see him...

What went wrong?

Neil was sorry. He really was.

But he felt bad sellin' up. It was his family home.

It was where all his memories of his parents were, he...

He just couldn't do it.

And then?

Michael...

He was such a nice person.

Unusually kind.

I suppose I thought he'd come round to my way of thinkin'.

But he didn't.

And suddenly I was...

I was swingin' that staff as hard as I could.

Why did you take the staff away with ya?

Was it to try and frame Lucas Oxley?

I knew there'd be an investigation,

and I knew his name would come up.

So I dumped it in that stupid bonfire of his.

And God knows I gave you an offence

to go and look for the bloody thing.

Why did you drive up to the quarry the next morning?

I thought I might have left some evidence.

I was going to look around.

I had already panicked and thrown away the phone.

But you know what?

Whatever I did, this is on them as well.

The village, the border rats,

they drove me crazy.

I just couldn't think straight anymore.

The rats aren't comin', Lucas.

Move on. This is private property.

You murdered Lily and buried her in the church grounds.

And if it weren't for Neil accidentally diggin' her up,

you would've got away with it.

Lucas Oxley, I am arresting you

on suspicion of the murder of Lily Oxley.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defence if you do not mention

when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

You don't know what you've done.

You don't know what you've done!

Your prints were on Lily's bracelet, Lucas.

It's over.

Um...

I dropped by 'cause I wanted to tell you the news in person.

You found Emma!

It's more that we're closin' the file on Emma.

- You can't do that! - We need her back.

Sh-- She belongs with us.

Yeah, she won't be coming back.

Why would you say that?

I found evidence that Emma ran away.

She had the help in the shape of Neil.

- She's alive? - So he took her?

What Neil did, Mr. Runshaw, was an act of kindness.

He was a good person.

He just wanted to try and help people.

What the hell are you talkin' about?

If she chooses to live a life away from you,

then that is up to her.

That's our baby girl.

What she is, Mr. Runshaw, is an adult.

And if she wants to be free from both of you,

then you have to learn to respect that.

Mrs. Runshaw:

Well deserved.

Here we go.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Oh. That's good.

How were the Runshaws?

Mental.

And, yeah, angry.

But I officially closed the case on Emma.

Just in time to open a new one against your ex, yeah?

Listen, I know you don't wanna hear it,

but that's the best thing to do.

Get him on stalking.

Let me just do it my way first, yeah?

I wanna... I wanna wait him out.

Derek Alton took five years to come to his senses.

Look, I thought we were supposed to be celebratin'.

You got Lucas Oxley. You'd have made your dad proud.

Yeah, did somethin' right.

You've done loads of things right.

Ben, if you want to, um, you know,

bounce around new ideas about your dad's case--

No, no. No point. It's a dead end.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Um...

Let's, um, just gonna...

Yeah.

I can tell that you've had some upheaval in your life,

something recent, and you may have to overcome some hurdle.

But after that, things will definitely change.

Now, most people get spooked when they see this card.

But don't worry.

It can mean the death of something negative

or the end of a long and arduous road.

But whatever it is, I think you have much to anticipate,

even to look forward to.

I'll take that.

Mm.
