Original subtitles

The body of a woman has been identified as Amanda Blake...

...who went missing in Cardiff five years ago.

I'd like to speak to a DI Steffan Taylor.

Steff?

I don't feel the same way about you, Rick.

I want a divorce.

I can look after myself.

I can look after myself. Aargh!

Well, if you do need rescuing just send me a text, OK?

Code word - noodle!

Griff?

You OK?

Why are you here?

I might have to phone the police.

I might have to phone the police. Phone them, Manon!

I don't even think you have any evidence.

I know all about the Heart Knot murders and your involvement.

I was set up.

Stay away from me.

Stay away from me. Wait!

Stop following me.

He needs to be stopped.

He's clever, but he must have left traces...

...and it's our job to find them.

Manon Grant?

Why would Manon Grant abduct your daughter on her birthday?

What is your relationship with Manon Grant?

That's my daughter. Rachel!

Don't do something that you will regret for the rest of your life.

Don't let him turn you into someone that you're not.

It's too late.

No, it's never too late to take back control.

Please...

...let Rachel go.

OK.

Come here, sweetheart.

Let him through.

Go on.

Fuck! Aargh!

No, no, don't give him that satisfaction.

Manon, don't let him win.

Manon, please?

MOBILE

Lisa?

I'm on my way.

How is he?

He's stable.

He's being monitored.

Hypothermia and arrhythmia.

What happened, Mam?

I was fast asleep.

The police called.

Someone saw him go into the river.

At dawn.

They got him out.

His wallet and his clothes were folded on the riverbank.

He's a neat man.

Always has been.

There was a note on Mam's bedside table.

Saying that he loved us and wanted to set us free.

It's my fault.

I've been taking sleeping pills. Just to get some peace.

Mam, if you can't cope, there are care homes.

No.

I promised him.

Dad needs to be safe, Mam.

MOBILE

Hi, Celyn?

You OK, Ffion?

Hell of a thing.

Yeah.

Sorry. I'm on a work call.

Manon Grant's laptop, Boss.

There's something you should know.

Thank you.

Mam's got the kids.

I know Griff likes his paper.

Will you stay for a bit?

Lis, do you know her?

Manon Grant.

She's the woman who abducted Rachel Danbridge yesterday.

Yes. I saw her talking to Rachel in the park.

A few days ago.

She had photos of you hugging Tom Danbridge on her laptop.

What? How?

And other photos, like she'd been targeting you - any idea why?

I've got to go.

Is there anything between you and Tom Danbridge?

No, Ffion, we're just friends.

I was comforting him.

Oh! I need a coffee.

GRIFF GROANS

GRIFF COUGHS

Oh!

No, wait, let me help you.

Oh!

Hey.

It's me.

Ffion, Dad.

It's your daughter.

Ffion.

Oh, yes.

Ffion.

Oh, what happened here then?

You went into the river, Dad.

To drown.

Looks like I messed that up as well.

Oh! Why, Dad?

I love you.

Then let me go. Mm?

This is no life.

Subtitles

Two extra shots.

Espresso, not vodka.

That's a shame.

Ta.

Hey, erm, great work yesterday.

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

You might need counselling.

This stuff...

...it gets you.

Yeah, erm...

...it's not that.

Good morning, everyone.

OK.

What I learnt yesterday...

...is that Manon Grant is obsessed with Tom Danbridge.

So much so, she kidnapped his daughter, Rachel, to punish him.

There was a present for Rachel found in the car - a necklace.

Identical to the one Sara Danbridge was wearing when she disappeared.

The necklace is missing, isn't it?

Could it be the same one?

Could it be the same one? Possibly.

Was Manon Tom Danbridge's ex? Did she have a grudge against Sara?

Well, Tom did say yesterday that the abduction was all his fault.

He also identified Manon as a suspect...

...as soon as Rachel went missing.

And according to my sister...

...Manon made contact with Rachel in the park not long after...

...Sara's body had been discovered.

So, our goal is to win Manon's trust...

...and find out exactly why she wants to punish Tom Danbridge.

You lead, I'll follow.

Well, actually, I think it's better if Mogsy and I do this interview.

Cool. Cheers, Boss.

Well, hang on, I'm the one dealing with Tom.

And your input will be invaluable once we've got Manon to open up.

OK? Mogsy, a word?

You know she's right, Rick.

If Manon hates men right now...

No, it's fine.

She's got a lot going on.

Did she tell you what happened to her dad last night?

Manon, you said yesterday that you wanted to punish Tom Danbridge.

Why is that?

I just wanted to scare him.

I didn't think things would get that far.

You said he's ruined your life.

Maybe you can elaborate.

You said you've been screwed over by men.

Do you want to go first?

Yes, I have.

Which means that we have something in common.

Except you're not wearing this shitty tracksuit.

Manon, you do understand the seriousness of what you've done?

You'll be charged with child abduction.

What has Tom Danbridge done to you?

I hate him.

In my experience, hating someone means that they matter.

Are you in love with Tom?

Yes.

I have been for sixteen years.

She was fifteen when they first had sex - fifteen!

That's just two years older than Mati.

Tom was her teacher.

He got her pregnant just before she turned 16.

Her parents made her have an abortion, then chucked her out.

She never said who the dad was because she wanted to protect him.

He doesn't even know.

She got social housing.

She left school.

Tom he promised her that once she turned eighteen...

...he'd make it all official.

But by then, he'd met Sara, and of course, he gaslit Manon...

...into thinking that Sara was the problem.

Well, that gives Manon a clear motive.

Any news on Griff?

Oh, yeah, right, erm...

...Dad's stable, thanks.

Sorry, I didn't...

No, no, Steffan said that he tried to drown himself.

Dad talked to me about wanting to die.

I should have listened.

Don't blame yourself.

Don't blame yourself. Oh, please, don't!

You know if you ever need me...

And you?

Are you OK?

Are you OK? Me?

Yeah.

All good.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Hiya, Rick.

Tom Danbridge...

...I'm arresting you on suspicion of sexual activity with a child...

...contrary to Section 9 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

Manon.

I want to ask you about the birthday gift you got for Rachel.

Where did you get it?

From the market.

Sara Danbridge was wearing the same necklace the night she disappeared.

But it was missing from her body when we found it.

Well, we obviously have the same taste, don't we?

They're knock-offs, OK?

I sell them at the Angel.

I sold one to Sara when she was off her face one night.

She had everything I wanted.

Ungrateful bitch.

I would have been a much better wife to him.

Sit down, Tom.

You've said that you don't want a solicitor, Tom.

No. I've got nothing to hide.

Did you kill Sara Danbridge?

I fantasized about it.

Someone got her before I did.

Tom, did you have sexual intercourse with Manon Grant...

...knowing that she was only 15 years old when you were her teacher?

What?

No, I didn't!

She had a massive crush on me.

She more or less stalked me - still does.

You saw that yesterday. She is psychotic.

She was going to kill my child.

Why did you think that was, Tom?

Why did you think that was, Tom? I don't know how her mind works.

Tom wanted to be with me...

...but he was trapped.

Because of her.

No, Manon.

Tom lied about Sara's illness as an excuse to keep you hanging.

But he kept coming back.

Because he knew you could ruin his life.

Have you arrested him?

We're taking your allegations very seriously.

He'll deny it.

But I have proof.

What proof?

I can't say.

He'll lose his job.

He'd never forgive me.

Thanks.

PC Rowlands just entered the room...

...and handed a note to Detective Sergeant Rick Sheldon.

The time is 11.04.

Tom, Manon Grant alleges that she has proof of your affair...

...when she was underage.

Manon, in your own words, for the past 16 years...

...Tom Danbridge has been having sex with you, then ghosted you.

He's abused you.

Don't let him get away with it.

What proof do you have, Manon?

OK, I slept with her.

But she was sixteen.

She had left school.

She kept inviting me over.

Crying for help, throwing herself at me.

She just wouldn't take "no" for an answer.

So it's her fault?

I felt sorry for you yesterday, Tom.

Because your daughter was missing.

But today, now, I'm worried about all the young girls in your care.

I am not a paedophile.

I was, I was foolish...

...I was stupid...

...but I was 22, for God's sake.

Tom, are you saying you didn't have sex with Manon...

...until she was 16 years old?

Yes, I am.

Manon terminated a pregnancy two weeks after her sixteenth birthday.

She was eighteen weeks pregnant.

And according to her, she wasn't seeing anyone but you.

She's lying.

She slept around.

The night Sara went missing...

...Tom was in bed with me.

And now I'm going to jail for child abduction.

Well played, Tom.

But if you press charges against Tom, it will help with your defence.

It's mitigating circumstances, especially if you've got proof.

What proof have you got, Manon?

When I was fifteen...

...he smuggled me into a hotel in Carmarthen.

There's a video of us.

On my laptop.

Subtitles

I've sent you a link from Manon's laptop with a decryption code.

Thanks.

Thanks. OK.

The tape's inconclusive. CPS won't proceed.

It's poor quality.

It's too hard to positively identify Tom Danbridge.

So Tom walks and Manon goes down?

It's bullshit.

It doesn't surprise me.

Those guys.

They always get away with it.

DOOR SLAMMED SHUT AND LOCKED

Oh!

Oh! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

I need to speak to someone.

OK, what's wrong?

Erm, I was dating this guy.

He lied about who he was, so I ended it...

...but now I think he's using someone else's profile picture to get to me.

I saw the press conference.

OK. You did the right thing.

What did he call himself?

Erm, the first name he used was John Shaw.

Do you, erm, have his photo?

Do you, erm, have his photo? Yeah.

Willa Castle met John Shaw on the Linkconnex app.

They got on well, but after a while...

...she realised she knew very little about him.

She showed his photo to some of her workmates...

...only to discover that he was, in fact, Jamie Tilston.

We all know him from the Heart Knot murders.

Jamie gave Willa a heart shaped necklace as a gift.

The Heart Knot files.

Thank you.

A day or so after dumping Jamie, Willa started chatting online...

...to a man called Gareth Dawe.

Bloody hell, these kids move on fast.

In their last chat, 'Gareth Dawe' said...

...'I know you're lonely, and far from home'.

But Willa hadn't shared that information on her profile...

...so she panicked and came to us - she thinks it was Jamie.

Well, it's not Gareth Dawe...

...because this guy is called Kevin Owen.

A landscape gardener from Llandybie.

Tell me more about Jamie.

He's Paul Harvey's biological son.

But Harvey disowned him as a boy.

Yes, and his wife, Anna, hatched a plan with Jamie to kill a nurse.

How come Jamie Tilston walked?

Because the CPS shafted us.

They didn't think we had enough.

Do we know where he was five years ago?

No, but we can look into it.

I'll get a RIPA authorisation on Jamie and his home address.

We can't be too careful.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Oh, cheers.

Don't suppose you've got a fag?

No, never smoked - sorry.

Smug bastard.

That was interesting reading.

The Heart Knot case.

There were rumours something wasn't legit about the historic case.

And that's how Anna Harvey went under the radar.

The investigation was all above board.

We got it wrong.

We underestimated her capacity for...

We underestimated her capacity for... For evil?

For love.

In her eyes, it was all done for love.

Steffan?

Keep the rumours to yourself, OK?

For the sake of my team.

Of course.

Sorry.

Target is leaving his home address.

Celyn, did we get an IP address from Jamie's posts?

No. He must have used a VPN.

No. He must have used a VPN. Like Sara's killer.

Jamie was 24 when Amanda Blake went missing.

He was on carer's allowance. It's hard to establish his whereabouts.

I've checked up on Willa Castle again.

He's been sending her messages all afternoon.

He's becoming impatient.

Phone Willa back. Ask her about Jamie's interests.

She met him in the flesh. Let's see what he's told her.

Good idea, build a profile.

I'll get a copy of Willa's phone records from Tech.

Jamie's obsessive, so Willa won't be his first target.

Maybe we could connect with him online.

Soothe his ego. Get him to open up.

He sometimes uses his own photo.

But other times he creates a fantasy image...

...the man he wants to be deep down.

Subtitles

Target returning to home address.

NOTIFICATION ALERT

Why don't you all get off home?

This could take some time.

Erm, I'd rather stay and learn, if that's OK.

There's no need.

He's replied.

'Who are you?'

Erm...

...this isn't my area of expertise.

Someone who will make you forget all about Willa.

'Love anime. The stars are aligned, Kim Nikokata'.

'What's your real name?'

MESSAGE ALERT

'Why do you hide behind an anime character? Are you shy like me?'

Say yes.

He's desperate to feel a connection to someone.

Yeah, and mention soul-mates.

Celyn, type 'I have secrets'.

'We all have secrets. Tell me one of yours.'

Why are we playing verbal tug of war with this creep.

What are we hoping to achieve?

'But first I need to see your face.'

Oh, shit.

Can we find someone?

A random photo?

About Willa's age?

I'm about the same age as Willa.

No, no way. It's too risky.

No, no way. It's too risky. Yes, he could find Catrin online.

If he finds out that we're onto him, we will lose him - again.

If he's been killing for five years, we can't just stop now.

We continue with the conversation, see where it leads us.

I've deactivated my Instagram and Facebook. I'm ready to go.

You sure?

You sure? Mm-hm.

We need Vaughan to authorise this.

If you're uncomfortable with this, Celyn, you can leave.

'You're beautiful. Out of my league.'

I think he's drawn to women who lack self-confidence.

Like Amanda.

'I'm insecure about my looks'?

'I'm insecure about my looks'? Say my nose.

'You're gorgeous. You have a cute nose and such kind eyes.'

He told Willa she had kind eyes.

He told Willa she had kind eyes. We don't even know if this is Jamie.

We need a positive ID.

Alright, how?

Alright, how? We could suggest meeting.

See if he turns up?

'Maybe we should get to know each other first'.

Shit.

Say it's your mum's funeral tomorrow, so it has to be tonight.

Play the fragile card. It might chime with his loss.

We're not really going to send Catrin in to meet him, are we?

Are we?!

We'll be able to hear you at all times.

Our theory is that he arranges dates...

...and when they've been stood up, he chats them up and kills them.

And we're sending Catrin in there?

And we're sending Catrin in there? Rick, there's CCTV.

You and Ffion can watch the front entrance. I'll park at the back.

Why can't we just wait and see if he shows up?

She doesn't have to meet him.

It's a chance to see how he operates.

If she's not in the bar waiting, he might just leave.

There's a chance that he might not approach you.

He'll sit back, wait for you to leave, and then follow you.

But either way, Steffan will be there, ready to pick you up...

...as soon as you say "I've booked an Uber".

Catrin, nobody will think any less of you if you don't want to do this.

Can you excuse us for a minute, please.

What's going on, Ffion?

Why are we letting Steffan take over like this?

Target's getting into his car.

Hold off. We'll take it from here.

You don't have to come.

You don't have to come. Oh, no, no, I'm coming.

Positive ID on Jamie Tilston.

'Target has arrived.'

He's leaving. D'you think he's spotted us?

What's up?

'We think he's bailed out.'

Drink?

I'm good, thanks.

I think I've been stood up.

No, you haven't.

Shit.

Sorry. I thought if you knew what I really looked like...

...you wouldn't have turned up.

Erm, pleased to meet you, Gareth.

I'll have a rose, please.

And, erm, orange juice, please.

So, erm, why use a less handsome man's photo?

I thought women liked the rugby type.

Not me.

I was more into the connection we had.

So what type am I then, Amy?

Erm...

...sensitive...

...but strong.

Is Gareth even your real name?

No.

My name's John Shaw.

Thanks.

Well, John Shaw, you are an enigma.

Sorry, I'm just a bit private.

Like you said, we've all got our secrets.

So how about you tell me one of yours first?

Steady on, Catrin.

Well, my dad's in jail.

That's kind of cool.

What for?

It doesn't matter.

How did your mum die?

You said her funeral's tomorrow.

She drowned.

Freak accident.

John?

You have really kind eyes.

Shall we get out of here?

Yeah.

John?

This has been lovely, but I've got a big day tomorrow...

...so I've booked an Uber.

Give it a few minutes, Steffan.

Cancel it.

It's not safe. If there's a killer around. It could be anyone.

I'll take you home.

OK.

OK.

What is she doing?

Shit.

Shit.

Ffion, are we intervening?

You think I'm stupid?

Who the fuck are you, Amy?
