'All rise.'

Have you, the jury,

reached a verdict to which you're all agreed?

Yes, Your Honour. GAVEL SLAMS

On the charge of the murder of Simone Edwards,

do you find the defendant, Robert Parker, guilty or not guilty?

Inspector.

Doctor, are you free? MACHINERY WHIRRS

'It's a bit noisy. Where are you?'

I'm on a demolition site. We need you down here.

'We found something pretty...'

Pretty what? 'I'll... I'll send you the address.

'I'm warning you. This one's weird.'

SIGHS

♪ What really happened

♪ That night? ♪

Unidentified male in high-vis, though no-one on the site knows him.

There are a lot of casual workers around here, machine ops, labourers.

It could be any one of them. What's so unusual about it?

Wow. Mm.

It's almost as if his face has melted.

There are no burn marks. What is it, then?

I have no idea.

Hm. I thought you knew everything, Doctor.

Just... give me a minute.

So, white male, 50s, I'd say.

Probable cause of death - massive cranial fracture

caused by some kind of heavy object.

Like, from a hammer or...? Yeah, possibly.

But there's very little blood here, which is odd.

Based on body temperature...

BEEPING

...livor mortis and rigidity,

I'd say time of death was somewhere between...

...8pm and midnight last night.

Boss?

SNIFFS

Inspector!

You can call off your team.

There's no point interviewing anybody else on this site.

Why? What are the most vulnerable body parts

when working in construction?

Head, hands, feet.

Even with safety boots on, it's pretty easy to sustain an injury,

but his feet show no signs of irritation, damage, mycosis.

There are no calluses on his hands,

and until recently, he was wearing a wedding ring.

He pissed himself during his attack,

but there's no sign of urine on the ground.

What does that tell us?

He wasn't killed here. He's not a labourer.

His wife must be pretty worried about him by now.

See? Just needed a minute. Hm.

Hello, stranger. I'm Dr Winter.

Fingernails bitten to the cuticles.

Nervous personality.

Your spine is poorly aligned.

Herniated disc.

Or an accident maybe.

Vaguely scarred palms.

Finger flexed.

Dupuytren's contracture.

Did you have a drinking problem at some point?

We all know how that one ends, don't we?

None of this will tell me why you were attacked...

...or what happened to your face.

But I promise you.

I will find out.

Postmortem report of unidentified Caucasian male

aged approximately between 40 and 50 years old.

Jamila, do you wanna take our friends through

the external examination?

Sure. Extensive bruising around the torso.

From what? Punches or kicks.

Given that there are different-sized bruises,

I'm wondering if this might be multiple attackers.

Mm. And tattoo on the upper-right arm.

River Kin. It's the logo of a folk band.

It's impossible to say when and where it was done,

but it may help identify the victim.

We were able to reconstruct the skull using this new 3D scanner.

As you can see,

the sphenoid bone was shattered using an unidentified object,

causing major haemorrhaging around the temporalis muscle.

What does that suggest?

That the bone was smashed by a protrusion

from a larger object with a sharp tip.

Yeah, but the injuries to his face and the way the skin has come away

from the skull like that, that's just very odd.

Despite that, we were able to completely reconstruct his face.

This is the first time we've used Dr Winter's new software.

Sorry, what, you developed that yourself?

I merely adapted the existing software.

It did give an accurate facial scan, but the skin, lines of the face,

the eye sockets, everything changes so much after death.

This corrects that and makes it closer to the living person.

I hope you've patented that. You could make a fortune.

Believe it or not, Inspector,

I'm not actually in this for the money.

Er, so, the skin around his face. Er, yes.

It's unlikely that it was cut. The edges would've been cleaner.

If you look closer, it's almost as if the skin's been torn off.

Torn off? Yeah, torn off.

We did a whole-body scan,

and that revealed much older fractures.

Yeah, they may be over a decade,

and he would've spent several months in hospital recovery.

Thanks, Jamila.

Right, now for the fun part.

I'm gonna, erm... go and check on the missing persons updates.

So, the toxicology report came back negative.

No drugs, no alcohol. Guy's pretty much teetotal.

Some chemical traces on his hands and arms.

Citric acid, coco betaine and glycerine.

That's just shower gel, isn't it?

No, because I also found potassium permanganate.

Why would he clean his hands with mouthwash?

I don't know. It's weird.

Do some more digging.

Inspector. Look at this missing persons photo.

Think we may have a match.

Let's see.

Joseph Dellaway, curator and historian.

Didn't come home last night.

His wife said it's totally out of character.

Kids? Two boys, eleven and nine.

SHE SIGHS

Joseph...

...I'm sorry to meet you under such circumstances.

WOMAN: No!

WOMAN SOBS

And did he have any, erm, issues recently?

Any problems at work?

He was a museum curator.

What problems would he have had?

There is evidence, er...

...that he had arm and chest fractures,

possibly from before you met.

Did you know anything about that? No.

He never mentioned an accident or an assault

or a long stay in hospital?

DOOR CLOSES CHILD, DISTANT: Mum, we're back.

Oh, God. I can't.

I can't. I can't. I can't...

Just remind them of how much their father loved them.

And tell them that the police will find out who did this to him.

SHE SOBS

'Neighbours all say he was a lovely guy, very sociable,

'but there's a lot of shock about the news.'

'Exactly what his wife says.'

How was it? SHE SIGHS

Loving husband and father. SHE SNIFFLES

Why was he beaten up, murdered and then dumped

on a building site ten miles from his home?

It was planned. It was premeditated. Does she know about the injuries?

No, that's what's weird.

He broke half the bones in his body a few years before they met,

and he never mentioned it to her.

If you spent months in hospital, wouldn't you tell your new wife?

Well, don't ask me. I'm not married.

I'm not that stupid. Tell me about it.

Find out about Joseph Dellaway before he met his wife.

What other secrets was he hiding?

So, Joseph, what is this?

The result of having very delicate skin tissue?

No.

Damage, maybe?

From a corrosive product?

Also no.

Huh.

You tried to lie to me.

The body will always tell me the truth.

MUTTERING: Facial reconstruction. Boss.

Eddie.

My report on the Rosemary Lockheart suicide.

Do you remember the weird triangle mark on the thumb?

We need to return the body to the family.

Yes, we do. I, erm...

I ran some more tests.

I think it's perfectly feasible that that mark was carved

by the victim themselves.

But the blood coagulation on the mark,

it was significantly less solid. I know.

I'm sorry. I did look again. I think you're wrong.

Boss, I ran those tests three times to confirm the anomaly,

and it came up every single...

The police report showed no signs of foul play.

The victim clearly took their own life.

They had a history of self-harm, as we saw from the body.

Do you not think it's possible that

that mark was just the latest of many others?

But if I can prove it wasn't?

Occam's razor.

Simplest theory is often the most likely.

Let's give the family some closure

and get the body back to them, shall we?

OK. I'll, er...

...prepare the paperwork. Thanks, Eddie.

Hey.

I thought you might like to see this in person.

Go on.

I know why Dellaway's skin came apart when he was being beaten up.

Repeated blows to his skull caused the skin to tear, but why?

Look at this.

Right before stitching up his face again,

I found these surgical scars.

Meaning? Meaning it's plastic surgery.

We don't actually know what Dellaway looked like before,

but he certainly didn't look like this.

He's had his entire face reconstructed

before he met his partner.

So he had a completely different identity.

Yeah. Whatever he was running from certainly caught up with him.

Thank you.

So, now that I've done the hard part,

you just need to find out who he was.

Ball's in your court.

Nice reflexes.

I was the only girl on my school cricket team.

Cricket? Bowler or batter? Leg spinner.

I bowl a mean googly. You'd better watch yourself.

Hm. We should play sometime.

PHONE RINGS Sorry.

Hello? ANTONY: 'Where are you?

'Ruby's not well, and I need to go.'

Oh, I'm so... I'm so sorry. Tell her I'm... I'm on my way.

'You're always sorry. It doesn't change anything, does it?

'I'm gonna miss my train.'

Well, leave them for a while and go.

They'll survive until I get home.

HE SIGHS 'OK.'

Well, have a good trip.

Cute that you've made a shrine to me.

Not a shrine.

It looks extremely shrine-like.

Why, Ethan?

Because of this.

This triangle... was carved into the thumb

of a suicide victim after she died.

Just like the one you found on me.

It's freaking me out. Well, of course it is, darling.

You know, I did something today that I've never done before

in my whole career.

Falsified a report and lied to Eddie about it.

Why? Because I needed time to find out who put this there.

But I think Eddie knows that I was lying.

Well, if it's bothering you, then tell DI Bell.

I barely know DI Bell, certainly don't know if I can trust her yet.

Now, I was warned never to go near your case again.

You know, at his trial,

Parker claimed that you were trying to say something.

No! No!

GAVEL BANGS She was trying to say something.

Order! No!

What was it, my love?

I don't know.

I'm just a figment of your imagination.

Then why do you seem so real?

Because I was awesome.

And who wouldn't wanna remember me like this?

HE CHUCKLES You're the best.

I was, yeah.

But now it's up to you, Ethan.

You know what you have to do.

I don't know if my head is ready for all this.

Remember what happened to me the last time?

Well, that's why I'm here...

...to help you.

Are you?

The man we know as Joseph Dellaway had a past.

In order to solve his murder, we need to learn his history.

In order to do that, we need to know his real name.

Ellis?

I've spent half the night looking through the list of local men

who disappeared 15 years ago.

I've now got 46 suspects, and I need another coffee.

I've requested medical records, but it's just taking way too long.

We thought you could help us narrow the list

by using his physical characteristics.

What, like Guess Who? Oh, yeah, the kids' game. Yeah.

"Are you Bernard?" I preferred Operation. Zzt!

CHUCKLING

Sorry, this is not a game. Shall we just get on?

So, the victim was 181 centimetres tall.

Assuming he could have lost up to two centimetres over 15 years

and a 2% margin of error

since the data's collected by the civil register,

we can eliminate suspects over 185 centimetres.

Excellent. Er... all right.

We now have 30 suspects remaining.

Joseph Dellaway had brown hair with no signs of dye

or discoloration, and he was very pale-skinned.

Er, 21. Good.

Ooh, on his radiology report, we found dysplasia,

a grade-one congenital hip dislocation.

It's most common in first-born children.

That's wildly circumstantial.

Perhaps, but it's worth seeing

if it narrows us down to the right person.

S-So you're asking me to eliminate anyone who wasn't an elder sibling?

Exactly. All right. Well...

Huh, now we have eight. That is a better working number.

Let me call the hospitals and request their medical records.

Or I could just tell you who it is.

Total chance, I just pulled this file from the bottom,

and I think this might be our mystery man.

Colin Graves. What makes you so sure?

His radiology report showing Graves' old fractures.

If you look at the injuries to his chest, here, here, and here,

it's the same.

Ellis, what does that remind you of? Er, I-I don't know.

Strap of a bag? It's a seatbelt.

Exactly. A seatbelt that crushed his ribcage.

The injuries to his arms are typical

of someone gripping a steering wheel.

Lower-body injuries are consistent with dashboard syndrome.

They were all caused by a vehicle collision.

A pretty serious collision.

Colin Graves went missing from Worcester in 2009. Here we go.

Six months after his car, driving the wrong way down the M5,

collided with a school bus from Brixham...

...killing five children.

He disappeared shortly after he was on bail.

He would've gone to prison for a long time for that one.

Pretty good reason for him to disappear, no?

And a good motive for wanting to kill him.

Is that her happy face?

This man was my husband? It's Colin Graves.

We've matched his dental records to confirm.

I don't understand.

Fifteen years ago, your husband hit a school bus, while drunk,

killing five children and seriously injuring 12.

After he'd recovered in hospital, he left a note on a bridge

saying sorry and was never seen again.

We understand that this can be devastating to take in,

but at least we have a lead.

You know who it might be? No, not yet.

But we're on it, and we'll keep you informed, OK?

It was just an accident, right?

'We all make mistakes.

'Whatever he did, he didn't deserve this.

'He was a good man.'

Mrs Graves, do you recognise this man as your husband, Colin?

SHE BREATHES SHAKILY

He looks so different...

...but also so... somehow so recognisable.

Of... SHE CHUCKLES

Of course, that hasn't changed. He loved that ridiculous folk band.

Never missed a concert.

SOBS

I've waited 15 years to find your body.

And you were alive all the time.

You bastard. SOBS

Take a seat.

I just need to do a quick DNA test to confirm things,

if that's all right. Yeah.

Open.

All done.

You have to understand why Mum's so upset.

We had a good life, you know?

What did your dad do for a living?

Er, he was a lecturer in medieval history.

He was a good dad, she said, but the accident destroyed him.

After he disappeared...

...we lost the house, our life, all our money.

We've struggled ever since.

Honestly, life's been awful, and Mum's got these health problems.

You don't need to know all that. It's OK.

Get it off your chest. This is a lot to process.

I always hoped I'd see him again.

I would get my dad back.

I never did.

When did you find out

that Colin Graves had taken on a new identity?

When the police rang me yesterday.

It's disgusting what he got away with.

You must have been very angry.

Of course I was. That man killed my son.

Kareem.

He was 11 years old. I'm so sorry.

Every day, I think of Marnie, the woman she would've become...

...if that monster hadn't been drinking that day.

'You haven't asked me yet, but, no, I didn't kill Graves.'

But I would've liked to.

I was at home.

I normally finish work at around six o'clock,

and then I go home.

I never go out at night in the week.

Do you have anyone that can confirm that?

After Jada died, our, erm... our marriage fell apart.

Been alone ever since.

'Do you think that there's anyone

'in the parents' association who could have killed him?'

Take your pick.

We all wanted to kill him,

but the killer would've had to know he was alive, and nobody did.

♪ I'm not afraid... ♪

What's that?

That is a potential replica of the murder weapon.

I analysed the fracture and used the 3D printer.

Yes, I know it doesn't look like much. It's not finished yet.

Hey, I've, er... I just ran a few more chemical tests,

and guess what?

There. Good work.

PHONE RINGS

Dr Winter, what can I do for you?

Have you tried the oysters down there?

'No, skipped straight to the ice cream.'

Mmm. What flavour? Mmm. Rum and raisin. Delicious.

What do you want? 'How's it going with the parents?'

Well, er, nine of them have got rock-solid alibis.

'We've still got 23 more to interview.'

Is there anyone on your list with a swimming pool?

Er, I'm not sure, but I... I doubt it.

'Do you remember the permanganate that we thought was mouthwash?'

Turns out it's also an eco-friendly chlorine alternative.

'So if there is anyone on the list with a pool...'

Yeah, got it. Thanks.

PHONE DISCONNECTS

She hung up.

None of the parents have the kind of money

that means you own a swimming pool.

Yeah, but they could be a municipal employee.

They could work at a leisure centre. Eh...

But do public swimming pools use expensive eco products?

Aren't they just always full of chlorine?

Maybe. Let me see the list.

One of the fathers I interviewed this morning, garden designer.

Let's have a look.

Ah, yeah, well, he certainly has a few wealthy clients.

Mm. Well, it's not a smoking gun,

but might be worth digging a bit more.

Brian Pickles.

You dragged me all the way down from Devon

at the crack of dawn to talk about swimming pools?

Were you in Bristol on Thursday night?

No.

This is a picture of your car on the motorway

just outside of Bristol

and another of you heading back towards Devon

a few hours after the murder.

We're tracing your movements via mobile phone, so we will find out.

I didn't kill him. KNOCKING ON DOOR

Boss, can I borrow you a sec?

We've triangulated Pickles' phone pings from masts

and cross-referenced his movements with CCTV.

You're gonna wanna see this.

Yep, this is an underpass right next to the building site

where he was found.

Er, stop there.

That is Joseph Dellaway, AKA Colin Graves.

He's being attacked by a few men.

And this, we think, is Brian Pickles.

Who are the other two?

DALDRY SIGHS

Three of us parents received an email.

It was anonymous,

telling us he was still alive with a new identity

and where we could find him.

So then you decided to take the law into your own hands

and drag him off like a lynch mob?

Yes, we attacked him, but we couldn't go through with it.

Why not?

He was sobbing.

Talking about his wife and his kids, and...

...I just couldn't do it.

So I stopped the others after we'd beaten him.

And then we went to a bar.

That's where we would've been at the time of death.

You can check with them.

It all tallies, that the anonymous email was real,

and we have him in the bar at the time of death.

We, er... We ran the tape on, as Ellis would say,

and this is about 40 minutes later.

That's your suspect.

Is that another parent?

I don't know, but I bet it's the same person who sent that email,

coming back to finish the job when the others didn't.

'What on earth is this?'

Well, what do you think it is?

'If that's a childish innuendo, I must say,

'if it's shaped like that, you should see a doctor.'

It's just a 3D replica of the murder weapon.

Something strong enough to break through a skull.

Yeah, or a smaller part of a larger, heavier object, most likely metal.

Looks like the tip of an anchor.

Why didn't I think of that?

'Well, at least we have something to go on,

'so, erm... thank you.'

Still haven't identified the murderer?

Not yet, but given the victim's profile,

there's no shortage of suspects.

'But how did they discover Graves' new identity?

'That's what I wanna know.' I have no idea.

'It's a miracle whoever killed him found him in the first place.'

Hm.

'I guess you've completed your analysis of this case.'

Guess so.

'All right. Well, good luck.' Thanks.

Ethan, get a move on. It's started.

It is not possible to watch this dumb movie too many times.

'Get under the bridge, quick!'

Can you go upstairs? Yeah.

Could this not have been a phone call?

Yeah, so did I, until I found the only link

between Graves and Dellaway.

Well, it's the tattoo of the rock band.

Folk band, his favourite.

Never missed a gig, according to his first wife,

so I called his second wife.

She said the same thing.

In fact, he got VIP tickets to the last gig,

met the band with his two sons in tow.

Guess who else was there.

Oh, my God. Julia.

His daughter goes to the gigs

to feel closer to the father she lost.

Only this last time, she hears a very familiar voice singing along.

Looks over, sees a very familiar tattoo.

He destroyed hers and her mother's lives,

had them grieve for nothing and then just started again.

And there he is, with another family,

as if Julia never even existed.

Is that not reason enough to exact revenge?

Apart from this photo, we have no other evidence.

What about the... the replica of the weapon that I made?

Wh-What did you say it looked like? Erm... an anchor?

Listen to Dr Winter, Julia. I went to see him.

After the parents left, I thought they'd killed him.

But he was still alive. He was crawling around on the floor.

And he saw me.

And he said, "Miss, can you help me?"

He didn't even recognise me.

Yeah, we're a team.

Do you know what I can't understand is why she went to the bother

of staging the whole thing on that building site?
