Original subtitles

I wasn't prying or snooping around,

but I came across the stuff you have on your dad's murder case.

It led nowhere, so I boxed it all away.

I could take a look. Fresh eyes.

No, no need. I'm done with it, honest.

There were more flowers last year.

Homegrown. They're nice.

Yeah, someone leaves them every year.

The same flowers, the same message.

- Does this guy have a name? - It's David.

Every time he texts or calls you, you freeze.

So you obviously don't want to see him.

You need to do the right thing and report him.

So much litter.

Idiots.

They have no respect for the nature.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

- Emergency services. - Operator?

What is the nature of your emergency?

Yes, there is a dead woman dancing in the circle.

Yeah.

A dead woman dancing in the Nine Virgins.

Are you up?

Yeah, but I'm getting changed.

Right, well, hurry up, and bring your boots,

'cause a woman's been found dead on Ringham Edge.

Go on, I know you're dying to tell me what this is about.

Well, each ribbon represents a wish.

Wow. What if I tied a ribbon or ten?

Could I get rid of me ex?

What, has he been back in contact?

No, but I can't help shaking the feeling

that he's closing in.

I feel like I see him everywhere.

Come on, tell me it's all in me head.

I don't think you're the type to imagine things, are you?

You know, Ben, you're allowed to lie sometimes.

Okay, it's all in your imagination, Diane.

- That is much better, thank you. - You're welcome.

- Sarge. - All right?

I hope you brought your crucifixes.

It's weird as hell in there.

Excuse me.

That path is closed, and I know you saw the sign.

Want to turn around?

She's so young.

29.

Her ID was in her jacket with her phone.

Jenny Westlake.

And she's a local. Thought so.

You know her?

No, but I've seen her face around town.

- Time of death? - You know what I'm going to say.

She'd been out here all night, there's too many variables,

- so don't quote you, yeah? - Spot on.

So, on that basis,

a very rough estimate based on core temperature,

corneal opacity and...

rigor mortis, I'd say 8 to 10 hours.

Around midnight, then.

See the bruising and the abrasions?

- Ah. - Mm, strangulation.

Yeah, I'll have to find the hyoid bone fractures to confirm,

but it looks like someone used a wide strap

of some sort to strangle her. Huge force.

It's left the imprint of the weave.

And she was killed here?

Mud in her boots are consistent with the path,

and I'd say lividity will confirm

that she died right here.

This posing looks deliberate.

Right in the middle of the Nine Virgins.

I'd say it's the killer making a statement.

Strangling's an act of rage, though.

- It's a loss of control. - Mm.

But the posing suggests planning and control.

It's inconsistent.

What do you think that suggests?

Thank you, Doctor.

What the hell is that?

Are you the ranger, Ravi Patel?

- Mm. - Yeah?

DC Ben Cooper. Are we okay to have a chat?

Hmm.

Can we ask what were you doing here this morning

when she was found?

Collecting rubbish, of course.

People drop litter like it's nothing,

but it's poison for the wildlife.

Right, well, can you tell us what you saw, please?

A dead woman dancing.

What do you mean, dancing?

Like the Nine Virgins, you know?

The ones who were killed for dancing on the Sabbath

and turned to stone.

Okay. Ah...

Had you seen her before, this woman?

Every Sunday at sundown.

- On her own? - I never saw her with anyone.

Do you have any idea why she'd be up here

on her own in the dark?

The stones, they draw all sorts, you know?

People who want a baby or a promotion

or even a-- even a winning lottery ticket.

They make their offerings on the Sabbath,

thinking that the Virgins will grant their wish.

Right, you seem pretty connected to this place.

Thank you. I am.

Do you mind people coming here?

It's not mine to say so.

If Warren Leach wants them traipsing all over,

it's up to him.

Why would he have a say in a national park?

Oh, it's Leach's land.

It has been for 500 years.

There's an access agreement

that allows people to visit the Nine Virgins.

Guys, let me take the lead, all right?

All right.

Leach family have been here several hundred years.

They'd be offended if anyone else

than a sergeant deals with them.

Fair enough. What's with the cameras?

I can't imagine protection because it looks like a dump.

Well, or else they're paranoid. It's the Wild West out here.

What happened here, then? Look at that.

Looks like there was a fire.

Well, it certainly adds to the overall ambience

of dereliction and decay, doesn't it?

Guys, can we focus, yeah?

It's not an episode of "Countryfile."

It's a working farm.

It doesn't have to be picture perfect.

Someone there?

Hello? Um...

Police. Could we have a chat?

- You all right? - We'd be quick.

Yvonne!

Get back inside the house!

Now!

Jesus.

What are you doing in my land?

Detective Constable Fry, and this is my colleague.

We don't speak to cops on this farm.

Well, a young lady has lost her life.

Well, that's not my affair.

Yeah, well, it is when it's on your property, sir.

I want you off my farm. I give you a fair warning.

Leave now, or I'll set the dog on you.

Mr. Leach? Hi.

Detective Sergeant Todd Eland.

Listen, I am sorry for disturbing you,

but there's been an incident at the Nine Virgins.

It won't take much of your time, all right?

All right. Thanks for your time, all right?

All right.

Who would have thought Eland had any diplomacy in him?

- Come on. - Yeah, he's full of surprises.

You know what? I think the wife would have spoke to us.

Until he yelled at her, you mean?

Yeah.

Yes, Sarge?

Yeah. I wouldn't talk to him again.

He's the type to file a complaint

just to make your life misery.

What about Jenny Westlake? Did he see her last night?

No, not a thing.

I'm starting to think she never made it up this far.

So, our victim's name is Jenny Westlake, 29 years of age.

Her parents have positively identified the body,

and the post-mortem reveals that it was death by asphyxiation.

There's no sign of sexual assault,

though there are fingerprints all over her boots,

which might possibly have been the killer's.

Digital forensics are working on her phone at the moment.

We should hear from them ASAP.

Doorbell camera footage from her street

is being collated as we speak.

She was found with her bank cards, a phone, and a car key,

so we can rule out robbery.

So, what else have we got?

CCTV footage from the Peak Rangers' hood shows

that she arrived alone at 6:00 PM.

Now, she would do this every Sunday for months.

So, what we need is a detailed description

of her movements up to that.

So, all those cars parked at the rangers',

all the people who rented bikes need to be traced.

We want to find out who saw her or who was with her.

Her body was discovered by Ravi Patel, the ranger.

What did you make of him?

Well, he wasn't upset to find a dead body, put it that way.

Yeah, he was more bothered about the littering.

He assumed Jenny Westlake was leaving offerings

for the Nine Virgins.

Apparently, it's quite a popular spot for making wishes.

We've collected flowers and crystals from the scene.

Every Sunday, apparently, Ravi clears them all up,

so what we picked up should be fairly recent.

Might be able to show us something.

Yeah, and we think the killer might have left one

of those offerings, so we sent it off for DNA, fingerprints.

Or Jenny was the offering.

You know, like a blood sacrifice.

You being serious?

I never joke about Satanism, Tracy.

This photo is of Jenny Westlake's husband,

who was a man called Martin Scargill.

Her parents weren't keen. They said the divorce was nasty.

- Wasn't he a journalist? - Do you know him?

Not really, but, um,

I remember he used to work at the local paper.

But he hasn't been on the scene for a while.

I assume he'd lost his job because of cutbacks.

Hmm. Well, her parents said he was a freelancer.

That he moved around Derbyshire quite a lot,

so it shouldn't be too hard to find him.

Yeah, yeah, I'll-- I'll give it a go.

I love your Satanist theory...

but it's always the ex-husband.

Posing a body is a risky thing, yeah?

Yeah. You might be seen or leave forensics behind.

Exactly. So the posing is important.

I mean, important enough to... stay and risk being caught.

Which means he thought about it.

Fantasised about it. Planned it.

I mean, maybe even attempted it with...

Bingo.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Do you have a minute, sir?

Yeah.

Um, about six weeks ago,

a woman called Maggie Crew was attacked around a mile from

- where we found Jenny Westlake. - Oh, yeah.

Um, Todd took the statement, if I remember right.

Yeah, I mean, that's the whole statement.

It's a bit sparse, isn't it?

Well, to be fair, she was knocked unconscious.

She didn't remember much.

Two women were attacked in the same area

within a few weeks of each other.

It deserves a closer look, don't you think?

Maggie Crew wasn't posed.

And she wasn't dead either, so...

Well, maybe something spooked him and he ran off.

And you think he tried again with Jenny Westlake?

Yeah.

And if the two are linked, what's the connection?

This statement is embarrassing. What was Eland thinking?

Must have been having a day off or something.

Or hungover, knowing him.

Right. Maggie Crew was found here.

And Jenny Westlake was found there.

That is a great catch, if they are connected.

- Thanks. - Let me get Maggie's address up.

Joe Cooper here.

What does she do for a living?

- Divorce lawyer. - Oh.

Yeah.

We were hoping you might remember more

about what happened.

I already told your colleague everything.

Which is to say, nothing.

I don't recall that night at all.

Your memories will still be there.

It's just, um...

after such a traumatic event,

your brain's trying to prevent you from accessing--

I know. I know. It's a glitch to protect me.

They explained it in the hospital.

I might be able to access those memories

if I expose myself to some triggers,

but there's no guarantee.

We don't want to traumatise you any more,

but the person who did this to you,

well, shouldn't get away with it.

I know that something awful happened that night.

But it's like I wasn't there.

And I'm fine with that. I don't want to remember.

I'm sorry, I have to ask you. Do you know a Jenny Westlake?

29 years old?

No.

Why?

She was attacked in the same area last night.

Why are you talking to me then? Go talk to her.

She didn't survive.

Maybe you might recognise her.

That's Jenny Scargill.

Scargill, not Westlake.

How do you know her, Maggie?

I handled her divorce.

Did Martin do this?

Did he kill her?

It's a possibility we have to explore, yeah.

Well, he attacked me, too. I mean, am I safe?

Is he going to come back?

It's just a possibility at this stage.

Nothing's been confirmed.

You're telling me, Diane, you don't know how to blind cover.

- That's-- That's ridiculous. - Didn't say that.

Aye aye.

What's all that about then?

- Probably owes him money. - What?

Well, I lent him a tenner last week.

You've got no chance of seeing that again.

So, I called Martin Scargill like a hundred times.

- Mm-hmm. - Left messages, nothing.

Then I get word that he gets done at the Quiet Shepherd.

- What? Arrested? - Yeah. Drunk and disorderly.

So, I give the custody sergeant a call,

and he says that he's covered in scratches and bruises.

Yeah. I can see it on his hands and neck.

- Mm-hmm. - From fighting Jenny off?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

- Could be. - Is he fit for interview?

Well, he's had a go at pretending he was unconscious,

but, [chuckles] yeah, he's a fool to know one.

Yeah, that old chestnut. Thanks, Trace.

Yeah.

It's that palaver over a fistfight, isn't it?

We'd like your help with another unconnected matter

relating to your ex-wife.

When did you last see Jenny?

Must be... Must be going on a year now.

- Didn't she divorce then? - Yeah. Why?

Did you part on good terms?

No, but, you know, we were divorcing,

so it's bound to be a bit fraught, isn't it?

Is it right that you didn't like her lawyer, Maggie Crew?

It's like asking me if I liked my root canal.

All she did was cause me pain.

And when did you last see Maggie?

No idea.

Sorry, but why are you asking me about my bloody divorce?

Jenny Westlake was found dead

at the Nine Virgins on Ringham Edge.

No.

What?

You're joking.

What happened? W--

Did she have an accident or...

We're investigating the circumstances

surrounding her death.

Jenny was murdered?

Are all your injuries from the fight last night?

'Cause some of them look a little older.

Yeah... No... I...

Wait.

No, no, no, no, no. I would never hurt Jenny.

Where did the scratches come from, Martin?

I was-- I found an injured cat, okay?

And I just...

I found an injured cat. I just wanted to wrap him up

in a towel, bring him to the vet, okay?

He looked like he'd been attacked by a fox or something,

so I just tried to wrap him up, put him in a towel,

bring him to the vet, and he tore me up, okay?

So you're a big animal lover, are you?

No, but, you know...

I-I couldn't leave him to die, you know?

I just...

I'm not a monster.

Maggie Crew said that Scargill felt very hard done by

by their divorce.

She reckons he blamed her for his financial hardship.

But she told me he was a gambler.

Now, I checked this with Trevor down at the bookie's,

and apparently he's confirmed it.

He was in there most days, and he reckons Scargill's

losses paid for his trip to the Maldives.

Sorry to interrupt, but we need to go to the Nine Virgins now.

Ravi Patel was just spotted there.

Okay. See you in a bit, sir.

Ravi, we need to talk.

Your fingerprints are on Jenny's boots.

You have no power to be here! Inside the sacred space!

- Hey! Hey! - Hey. Watch it.

Keep your distance, all right?

Your law has no power over your corpse!

Right, you're coming with us. You're under arrest.

- Get out of here! - Turn round. Give me your hands.

- Get out of here! - Ravi, just calm down.

- The Virgins will be upset! - Mr. Patel!

- Get out of here now! - I'm upset, mate.

- Come on. - Get out!

Let's go.

You found Jenny Westlake's dead body.

And you weren't upset? I find that strange now.

I'm used to it. Walkers die from falls.

They die from exposure, from heart attack and strokes.

They fall into the water and drown.

There's not much I haven't seen.

Even murder?

Death is death.

See, I find there's a world of a difference

between someone's nan having a stroke

and the brutal murder of a young woman.

Not to the stones.

Let's talk about today, Ravi.

- What was all that about? - You wouldn't understand.

Well, maybe we-- we would if you...

if you explained to us.

When blood is spilled in the circle...

...it unleashes tremendous power.

Your ancestors knew this.

But the church was threatened by it.

The practice was stamped out and eventually forgotten.

So now you have no knowledge of the incredible powers

that lie in the land beneath your feet.

What does this power do?

Whatever you want.

So long as you're there to receive it.

And that's what you were doing, right?

You were receiving the power, yeah?

Absolutely. It was a unique opportunity.

Was killing Jenny Westlake a unique opportunity?

- No. I didn't kill her. - Oh, right.

Well, maybe you could explain to us

why we found your fingerprints all over her boots.

Oh.

That's easy.

I made her dance.

You made her dance.

Do you want to explain exactly what you mean?

She was lying there, dead, in a heap.

And I thought, "That's no good."

So I-- I moved her arms and her legs and made her dance.

It was the right thing to do.

Because the stones came alive.

Ravi Patel sacrificed Jenny Westlake in order

to unleash the power of the stones.

He almost confessed it.

He didn't confess.

Sorry, Ben. Were you not there in the room?

He literally said she were a blood sacrifice.

No, no. He admitted to finding her dead body

and posing it postmortem.

- Oh, come on-- - Completely different.

He has to say that in order to account for all the forensics,

- all right? - Yeah, but he denied killing her

and he never said the words "blood sacrifice."

- Oh, my God. He did. He did. - Guys!

Guys, we're off the clock. Just eat your pizzas.

I reckon, right,

Maggie Crew were his first victim.

He knocked her out and he wanted

to bring her to the stones to kill her.

But I don't know. H-He miscalculated,

and he did it too fast, so he dumped her.

So, next time,

he has to wait for his victim to arrive at the stones.

He knows Jenny is there, of a Sunday.

Making her wishes, whatever.

It's a perfect sacrifice.

Okay. Let's get you a warrant to search Patel's house tomorrow.

I still think Martin Scargill has the greater motive.

I agree with Ben.

Well, Scargill's drowning in debt.

He's bitter. It's obviously revenge.

Well, Diane, it's-- it's preliminary stages.

No one's getting charged yet.

All I'm saying is that, when someone does,

it'll be Ravi Patel, all right?

God...

Diane? I was just thinking, um...

What are you doing?

Don't get annoyed.

Look, I know you said it was a dead end, but...

I wanted to take a look with fresh eyes, you know?

But I told you.

There's nothing to see, is there?

- You think I haven't tried? - No, I know you have.

You've been kind to me, Ben, and...

I guess I just wanted to try

and give you something back, you know?

You don't need to do that.

No, I know, but...

I would like to look at the case in my own time,

and I promise you I won't trouble you...

unless I find something.

Well, you won't.

But I guess I can't stop you from trying, can I?

It's a nice thought.

Um, while you were here, I've been thinking.

Should we try and talk to Yvonne Leach

about Martin Scargill?

I mean, the way she looked back at us,

it was like she wanted to talk, but can't.

Okay, so we wait till Warren takes his cows down for milking

and see if she's more willing to talk then.

Sounds good.

We can go before searching Ravi's.

Night.

Good night.

Hi, Yvonne. Sorry to drop in unannounced.

We thought it might be a good time to talk.

Thank you.

Tea?

No, thanks. We-- We won't keep you long.

The milk yield's down, so Warren will be back soon.

He says it's because of all the disturbance.

He thinks you should pay him compensation.

Well, um, we'll be quick.

Did you see Jenny Westlake go past your house on Sunday?

This is a picture of Jenny.

Well, it's a right-of-way,

so people are always coming past it.

We take no notice of them as long as they don't bother us.

Oh.

Her parents must be devastated.

They are. And she was their only child.

I'm sorry.

Do you recognise this man?

No. Like I said, I take no notice of the walkers.

I noticed a scorched patch on the land.

Can you tell me what happened? Has someone been burning stuff?

Warren said it was an accident.

Okay. Would've been quite a big fire.

I was asleep. I didn't see anything.

You know what?

Actually, I will take you up on that offer of a cup of tea.

But you have to do something, don't you, Ben?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I need to get in touch with the boss.

I'll meet you back at the car, yeah?

Thank you, Yvonne.

Flowers are beautiful.

You've obviously got green fingers.

Oh, just supermarket seeds. Nothing special.

I thought they were special.

Special enough that I noticed them left at the Nine Virgins.

That was you, wasn't it?

Silly superstition. You must think I'm daft.

You also left flowers at Joe Cooper's memorial,

didn't you?

Joe Cooper was a kind man.

He used to come and check on me.

Because of Warren?

Who checks on you now that Joe Cooper's passed?

Warren will be back soon. You should go.

Do you need help, Yvonne?

Because I can get you a safe place.

Until he is dead, nowhere is safe.

You're trespassing.

No warrant.

No rights.

I'm investigating a murder that happened on your land,

so that does give me the right.

This is harassment.

Oh, well, feel free to lodge a formal complaint.

As the tree, so the fruit.

Hi, Ben.

I wondered where you'd got to.

I was looking for you, but...

bumped into Mr. Leach here.

Morning, Mr. Leach. Look, um...

sorry we startled you.

But if you don't want to talk, then...

we'll just go, won't we, Ben?

Yeah.

So this is Ravi's house?

Nice.

You don't it's weird that a man who hates littering...

- chooses to live like this? - Hmm.

I mean, maybe it's easier to control

the outside world than...

whatever is going on in here.

Hang on a minute.

Aww. Another one?

Like the one we found at the crime scene.

Come on, Ben. Do you think Eland is right?

Do you think Ravi Patel killed her to...

activate the power of the stones?

Listen, I'm used to people

around here having funny beliefs and superstitions,

but it doesn't make them dangerous.

Yeah, I know, but you can't deny the fingerprint evidence found

on the victim's boots, though.

Hey, look at this.

Okay. This is the bag that Ravi had on him

when we were speaking to him for litter picking, yeah?

- Yeah. - Look at that.

Okay.

Remember this?

Yeah.

Opportunity. Motive.

And now physical evidence.

Why do you have so many?

My mother made them.

You used to live with her?

Yeah. She fell ill when I was around 12 years old.

I dedicated my life to caring for her.

Did you ask the Nine Virgins to cure her?

Yeah. That's how she lived such a long life.

The doctors only gave her a few years, but she made it to 77.

Thanks to their blessings.

We found this corn dolly...

in the stone circle near Jenny's body.

That's right.

Can you tell us what it was doing there?

After my mam passed away...

I've been living on my own.

I'm good at looking after others,

but I'm terrible at looking after myself.

I've been praying to the Virgins...

to help me find someone to love.

Someone who will care for me.

And when you saw Jenny Westlake at the Virgins,

did you think she was intended for you?

Hardly.

She was dead.

Did you not see her arrive?

Of course not. She parked up at sunset.

How do you know that?

Everyone who parks has to fill in the ledger

at the ranger station.

And what did you do after you closed up?

- I went home. - Can you prove that?

You can ask at the Pollock Palace.

I get my takeaway there. Same thing every night.

They have it waiting for me.

This is your bag, right?

Can you explain why the straps on your bag

appear to match the bruising on her neck?

You can't see what's going on, can you?

See what, Ravi?

There's a flat stone right outside the circle.

Most people miss it, but that's the fiddler.

The one who plays the tune.

He's the one you should be looking for.

The one close to the circle pulling the strings.

And who is he? Who's this fiddler?

The devil in your midst.

So he basically denied everything

until we presented him with the evidence.

And then, he blamed the fiddler.

He what?

It's more folklore about the stones.

- He says it's the devil. - The devil?

Yeah, apparently the devil is planting evidence to fit him up.

I'll give him his credit.

I've never heard that one before.

I'll arrange for a mental health assessment.

Hey, guys. Your mum called, Ben.

Says she has info on Jenny Westlake.

Okay.

Sir. Sir. Here we go.

Mum, is this real,

actual information about Jenny Westlake,

or is it from the cards?

Just listen to yourself. So rude.

Jenny were a client. Lovely girl.

Why did she come to see you?

Oh, boyfriend trouble. They were arguing a lot.

There was something he wanted her to do,

and she were feeling pressured.

The cards urged her to avoid danger,

so she broke up with him.

Wait. Boyfriend or husband?

Don't know.

One or the other. It were the man in her life.

That's what's important.

So, I pulled this spread when I heard she were murdered.

Your killer is a manipulator, a gambler, and a shapeshifter.

He may look like the life and soul of the party,

but he's full of darkness.

Gambling, eh?

Oh, we're on. There he is.

Not exactly the picture of grief, is he?

It's not a good look.

But tarot cards can't form the basis of an arrest.

Yeah.

Well, you know Jenny didn't get around to changing her will

after they divorced.

No way.

No, don't tell me Scargill's a beneficiary.

Yeah.

- Any news on the strap? - Lab's still working on it.

Right.

Shall we call it a day? Get a takeaway?

- Pollock Palace. - Be rude not to.

The bloody strap doesn't match.

- Christ, how? - Oh, no.

The pattern matched the marks on her neck.

Similar, but not the same. As clean as a whistle.

Whatever he strangled her with, it wasn't that strap.

Okay, sir. What's our next step, then?

Well, Ravi Patel has been sectioned,

so that buys us a bit of time.

We could follow up on Martin Scargill.

Why? Ravi's fingerprints are on our victim.

He's-- He's our man.

Well, the Pollock Palace said he picked up his takeaway

at the normal time that evening.

Great. He's got an alibi for 7:00 PM, not for midnight.

He could have gone home,

had his chicken korma, and gone back to the Nine Virgins.

Scargill has more of a motive than Ravi, who was a carer.

I mean, his whole life was about caring and service.

See if you can place Martin Scargill at the scene.

Yes, sir.

Bottle of scotch says you're wrong.

Deal.

Scargill could have killed Jenny at home, but he didn't.

- Why? - Look at her door.

She knew she had to keep him out.

How did he know she was going to be at the Nine Virgins?

I mean, he must have followed her.

Which means somebody must have seen him.

That's true. Tracy, did the doorbell footage

come back from Jenny Westlake's Street?

Yeah, yeah, it came in about an hour ago.

- You want to have a look? - Yeah, yeah.

Sarge.

Sir, come and look at this.

That's not Martin Scargill.

No, and it's not Ravi Patel.

- Have you got a name? - Yeah, it's Russell Crew.

Maggie Crew's son

who was in a relationship with Jenny Westlake.

How the hell did they know each other?

You never mentioned you had a son, Maggie.

Why would I?

I haven't seen him in over 10 years.

He hasn't been in touch? No texts, e-mails?

No. We're estranged.

What has this got to do with Russell?

I thought I was attacked by Martin Scargill.

Russell was Jenny Westlake's boyfriend.

Russell's back in Edendale?

I had no idea.

Can I ask what happened between you two?

He was always a very sensitive boy.

Very kind.

But he went to uni and he simply couldn't cope.

He started taking drugs

and got very angry about environmental issues.

He was opposed to this housing development.

I remember the protests.

It was about saving some oak trees, wasn't it?

The developer had to remove nine oak trees to build these houses.

An environmental survey was conducted,

and they found that the site had no special significance.

No rare species' habitats or anything like that.

And Russell didn't agree with that?

No, no. He was furious.

He said that chopping down oaks to build Oak Ridge was obscene.

He sent bomb threats.

And envelopes full of powder claiming it was anthrax.

- He was out of control. - What's happened to him?

Some policemen from Counter Terrorism came looking for him.

Even though all he'd ever sent was baby powder.

And he vanished.

He dropped out of uni and he cut all contact with me.

This might be a difficult question, Maggie.

You don't think it was possible that it could have been Russell

who attacked you?

It can't be a coincidence Russell being connected to

the victims of both attacks.

- Catch you inside. - All right.

Hey. Can I just use that? Thank you.

Russell Crew, 29, son of Maggie Crew,

boyfriend of Jenny Westlake.

He's been missing since Jenny was murdered

and has a history of violence.

Now, our colleagues at Counter Terrorism

have had eyes on him for some time.

He's got links with climate activists.

The report states he's becoming more violent

and challenging local leadership decisions.

Basically, Crew wanted more direct action.

What kind of direct action?

Well, the report's heavily redacted,

but reading between the lines,

I think he wanted to assassinate people.

Yeah, no, he gets kicked out of the group,

goes dark, and then Counter Terrorism lose him.

And that's when he turns up here?

Eventually, yes. He moves in with Jenny,

he makes sure there's no trace of him on her phone

or anywhere else.

And now she's dead, his mum's been attacked,

and he's disappeared.

I don't know. There's no motive.

Even the neighbours admit they haven't seen him for months.

Still, an ex-boyfriend with a history of violence.

Russell Crew goes to the top of the list.

We'll find him, sir.

How will we find him, though?

Counter Terrorism can't even find him.

Maybe a trip to the Nine Virgins with Maggie

could jog her memory.

I don't recognise Russell at all from your photos.

If I'd have bumped into him out here, I wouldn't have known him.

Was he born a murderer? Or did I turn him into one?

You weren't the only person to have an influence on him.

Right.

That feels familiar.

Yeah, this place.

I've seen this place in my nightmares.

Hang on a minute, what's that?

What? Careful.

- I don't want to be here. - It's okay.

What the hell?

Cooper!

Don't come down here.

You stay up there, all right?
