I was just wondering if Nathan
is still coming to Tom's party?

It's still on.

Yeah, crossed wires.

About 6:30?

Drop him off. All right.

I've got to go, Maggie.

Yes, see you then. Bye.

He's only gone and told his best mate
that the party has been cancelled.

It must have been a hell of a row.
I've got to keep an eye on the time.

Right. We've got a popular woman
with a good job and apparently stable
marriage.

Or possibly not.

There were rows over money troubles
which a nice little life insurance
would take care of.

And it turns out Helen wasn't at
work last night.

And Alan told us she wasn't at home.
So... Well, where was she?

She wasn't lying dead on the garage
floor all night.

Pathologist confirms time of death
between 7:00 and 8:30am.

He also reckons
there were six blows to the head.

Classic overkill. All consistent with
the hammer missing from Alan's
garage.

Death due to blunt trauma injury.
Which could say it's emotional.

Maybe there is a relationship
between killer and victim.

Yeah. Four times in the last month,
Helen has thrown a sickie.

She's seeing someone.
It'd give Alan plenty of motive.

No. I don't believe it.

Helen and I had a very good
marriage.

Alan...

your wife missed work
four times in the last month

and you don't know where she was.

We've got to at least consider
the possibility.

The point is, if she was with someone
last night,

they might have important
information.

Separate bedrooms.

Yeah. And look at this lot.

Most of it's brand new.

Check it out. Phwoar.

No, no, no.

How long had you been having
problems, Alan?

That's a bit of an assumption,
isn't it?

It looks like you're sleeping in
separate rooms. And then there's...

all this.

How long?

I don't know.

Maybe a couple of months.

But I swear, I had no...

Alan, if you do know who this person
is,

maybe an old flame or someone
she'd been flirting with, we do need
to know.

His, er...

His name's Kyle.

Kyle Torrance.

Helen said he did odd jobs at the
leisure centre.

Two months ago,
I paid him to decorate the kitchen.

Sorry.

Kyle Torrance?
Yeah.

No. Sorry, there's nobody by that
name.

I need you to check again, love.
It's very important.

If Helen was meeting her bit of
rough, she weren't gonna do it
right outside the centre.

You still think it's the husband,
don't you? Well, wife playing away
from home.

Law of averages, innit?
So it's worth a tenner?

Don't you need your mum's
permission?

All right, 20 quid.

Go on, shake on it, 20 quid.

All right. 20.

You were right. Kyle Torrance, one
of the casuals. Sorry, just a mobile
number.

Right, cheers.
OK.

Hey, Shappers.

That's Helen.

20:14.

But who's that having a go at her?

Unprotected sex last night.
Don't need to know that.

No. Helen had unprotected sex
last night.

I do need to know that.
Any news on Kyle Torrance's mobile?

Bad news, boss. It was a
pay-as-you-go. Kat's been calling
the number, but it's switched off.

Keep checking our systems.

You're gonna like this, boss.

Before Alan married Helen,
he was actually engaged to Anita.

You're joking? No, they were going
out nearly two years.

How's that for sibling rivalry?
And another thing. Jess's PNC check.

She's shown a conviction for drugs
and ABH when she was 14.

ABH? She drew a two-month
supervision order.

I think it's more serious than that.
The female having a go at the
leisure centre.

That's Jess Burgess as well.

Looks like she went back for another
pop. A bit more serious this time.

So...Jess killed her Auntie Helen
because she lost her place on the
team?

No. No, I don't buy it.

There's something else going on.
We've got a missing lover,

a husband with debts and a sister
and a niece, each with a grudge.

What connects 'em?

Jess? Jess, hi, it's Mum.

Are you...

(Motorcycle engine roars)

Sorry, she's not answering her
phone.

You've no idea where Jess is?

What's it about?

We need to talk to her about a second
more serious confrontation with
Helen last night.

Serious? What do you mean?
She didn't tell you about it?

No. But I'm sure it could have only
been about the competition.

Anita, are you still sure that Jess
was here with you between 7:00
and 8:30 this morning?

Yeah. I told you. She'd been out
late with friends, so I let her
sleep in.

There's no way she could have left
without you knowing?

No.

You don't think Jess had anything to
do... These are just routine
questions.

Do you mind if I have a look in her
bedroom? There may be some clue
to where she is.

First right at the top of the
stairs.

It's tough.

Being a single parent.

We've had the odd bump, yeah.

Jess's supervision order?
She's not a bad kid, Inspector.

You're a close family.

Helen must have been there for you.

Yeah, most of the time.

We know about
your previous relationship with Alan.

That was all a long time ago.

Any jealousy? Resentment?

Hardly. It was me who called it off.

Can I ask why?

I just realised it wasn't
gonna work.

Fortunately for Helen.

Nice.

Having the two daughters.
Watching them grow up together.

They are so different.

Jess has always been confident.

But Melanie is very shy.

I don't think Helen ever really
accepted that.

Oh, bloody hell.

Janine!

What?

Just cos a little girl can run
faster than you?

If she's not guilty of something,
then why did she run?

She's 17. She saw a strange man
in her bedroom, a strange, unfit man.

Strange?
You know what I mean.

"DI Strange", it's got a real ring
to it. Shut up, Butchers.

Unless you've found a murder weapon.
How about Kyle Torrance instead?

He reported a motorbike stolen last
year and left that address.

Motorbike?
Whalley Range.

Kat and Shap are over there now
checking it out.

Well?
Yeah. Looks like it's our guy.

A witness says she saw Helen's red
Mini parked outside the house
this morning.

Owner came out of Kyle's place.

That confirms where Helen
really spent last night.

Looks like she came round here
to see lover boy instead.

Word of warning. Apparently, our man
is a bit of a gorilla.

What do you mean by that?
I mean, he's a big fella...

Oh, just get on with it.

Richard!

Richard, that's the bike from the
centre.

Come on.

(Engine turns)
Come on!

It's not doing the jump into
hyperspace, then?

Janine! Kyle Torrance and the
biker...

Helen and Jess were screwing the same
man.

If I'd been a yard closer, I'd have
had him.

Don't worry. You were chasing a
motorbike, not a little girl.
Registration?

Romeo, Yankee, five, seven,
Lima, Whisky, Romeo.

I'll get Traffic on to it.

Like I said...RoboCop.

Come on, Tom! Tom, join in!

I told you, I didn't want him here.

We've found Helen's mobile phone.
Guess where?

Kyle's flat. Some pretty steamy
texts on it between the two as well.

So, Helen was having a relationship
with Jess's boyfriend?

And if Jess found out, it's a pretty
good motive. It's a motive.

No, but Jess has got an alibi.

Maybe her mum is covering for her.

Never mind, sweetheart.
Rubbish.

BOTH: We need to talk to Kyle.

How's it going here?

He's really sulky.
What's going on?

I dunno. He says it's personal.

Mum. Mum.

The guy wants to know if he can
serve the food.

I've got to do this, yeah.

That's the one.

Romeo, Yankee, five, seven,
Lima, Whisky, Romeo.

Where's our lad?

Don't know.
Do you fancy a latte while we're
waiting?

Arabella? That's why he didn't
want Nathan there.

Why didn't he talk to me?
Well, at his age...

some things you don't want to tell
your mum.

Boss. I checked with the club
where Kyle Torrance works as a
doorman.

They haven't seen him in two days.

Don't tell me, he phoned in sick.

Also, on the night of the
competition, Jess came into the club
looking for him.

Expecting to find him at work?
Apparently, she caused a right stir.

Accusing people of lying for him.
They had to throw her out.

She has a fight with Helen
and goes looking for Kyle.

Spoken to Anita yet?

She says Jess hasn't been
home all night.

But she often stays with friends.
Maybe with Kyle.

Circulate a description. I want her
found.

On the positive side, Traffic found
Kyle's bike parked off St Anne's
Square.

Shap and Butchers are watching it.

Argh!
What is it?

I burned my mouth on my coffee.

He might have just dumped it.
We could be wasting our time.

Hey, you reckon? Shappers.

Did you get the money?

200, it's all I've got.

Where are we gonna go?
Sorry, Jess, I don't carry baggage.

But you said you needed me.
I thought we were gonna be together.

Yeah, let's not kid ourselves, eh?

See you.

Police.

Get off!
Leave it!

Just take it easy, son!

Kyle! What are you doing?
Get off him!

It's all right, love, we're police
officers. Step out of the way.

So, why did you do a runner, Kyle?
-Why do you think?

She's dead, isn't she?

Spent her last night with me.

Yeah, I know all this looks...
But I didn't kill her, OK?

So what happened, Kyle? You had a
row?

You followed her home, decided to
have the last word, is that how it
was?

Look, I've told you.

She arrived about nine-ish.
We had a brilliant night.

Then she went home in the morning
and that is the last time I saw her,
OK?

Can you be a bit more specific
about the time she left?

BUTCHERS: What did you do then?

I went down the local greasy spoon,
had a fry-up.

How long were you there for?

I dunno.

Till maybe quarter past eight.
Quarter past eight?

Ask the owner if you don't
believe me.

Why would I kill her?

Me and Helen...

we were good together, yeah?

And what about poor little Jess, eh?

You weren't bothered that,
you know, she might get hurt?

JANINE: How long have you known?

Not long.

One of my mates saw them together
and...

then suddenly it all made sense.

All the stupid little looks and
smiles.

And that decorating job
he did for her.

Is that why you confronted her?

Not because of the competition?

She said I had a "twisted little
mind".

I knew she was lying. She had this
big smirk on her face like
she was really loving it.

And then, when Kyle wasn't at work,
I was straight round to his flat
and guess what?

Her car was parked outside.

It was about having fun.

Or it was until Helen started
getting crazy.

Crazy? How?

Giving orders.

Telling me I had to stop seeing
Jess.

I told her.

"It'll break the kid's heart."

Did you speak to them?
And say what?

"Please, Kyle, don't sleep with my
stupid slag auntie, she's
nearly twice your age."

What did you do?

Jess?

Nothing.

I just...

I bought some vodka and went home.

And you didn't see Helen again after
that?

No.

KYLE: She said I had to choose.

Because she'd already
burned her bridges at home.

What do you mean by that?
What I mean...

Alan knew about us.

She'd already told him
she was planning to leave.

Jess! Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah.

She's being bailed pending enquiries.

We'll call if we have any further
questions.

If Alan did know about the affair,
what else has he lied about?

Unless Helen was lying
to put more pressure on Kyle.

I know who my money's on.
What about Anita?

What about her?

Well, all this sibling rivalry
being played out between the
daughters.

Shap's right. We should focus
more on Alan.

Well, one thing's for sure,
Kyle's not our killer.

The cafe owner confirms he was there
for about an hour between 7:15 and
8:15.

RICHARD: Yeah.

Er...I'll be in the incident room.

OK?
Yeah.

I can't go now.

No, neither can I.

One down. That leaves Anita, Alan
and...Jess.

I still maintain that Alan
was at home when Helen got back.

He kills her. Then changes his
clothes. No, Shap.

And goes to pick up Melanie.
There was no murder weapon, no
witnesses.

And the CSEs have been all over that
house.

Yeah, but they haven't checked
the drive that Alan did to pick up
Melanie.

It's a lot of ground. Where do you
start?

Turn it round.

Remember there was wet mud on the
soles, say like he stopped
off on waste ground.

Or a building site.

He's an estate agent.
He'd know every site in the area.

Shap, Butchers, drive the most direct
route.

Look for any likely dump sites.

Kat, follow up on any house-to-house.
Take some of these guys.

See if anyone saw Alan leave the
house.

Well, I haven't seen any great big
signs saying, "I dumped it here,
lads". Have you?

You know, just sometimes... you're
a miserable little bugger. Do you
know that?

Realist, mate. Realist.

Stop moaning and start looking.

Waste ground, the boss said.
Building sites, things like that.

I am...looking.
Yeah? Well, not bloody hard enough.

There's one there.
I missed the turn-off cos of you.

I didn't see the turn-off.
A bit before the building site.

What was the point in that?
Just keep your eyes peeled.

Just get off here and do a U-ey down
there.

All right, I know how to get there!

Cheers.

Dad?

What's going on?

Blood.

SHAP: Sarge!

Hold your line. Butchers!

JANINE: Melanie said you didn't
usually pick her up from sleepovers.

You usually made her get the bus.
This isn't how it looks.

You'd known about Helen's affair
for quite some time, hadn't you?

Don't answer that. It's just
speculation.

I thought it was a phase.

I thought she'd get bored.
Alan...

Thought she was gonna leave you,
is that it?

Alan, I strongly advise you say no
more.

No, John, sorry, I need to explain.

I don't know what happened.

I saw Helen's car arrive and...

I waved to her from the upstairs
window and then I...

And then I got in the shower.

And when I came downstairs,
she wasn't around.

I noticed the car wasn't put away
and the engine was still running.

And then I saw the garage door
was closed.

So, obviously, I turned off the
engine, I went back inside.

I looked all round the house for
her, but, you know...nothing.

That's when I found her lying
on the garage floor.

I tried to help her.

I held her in my arms, but...

She was already dead.

So I went through to call the
police.

I-I don't know. Suddenly I just...

I realised how bad it looked.

Just me in the house, you know...
no other witness.

Just staring at the phone, wondering
what to do. And then...

That's when Melanie rings.

And she said, can I pick her up
from the sleepover?

So, you go to collect your witness?

No. Look.

I didn't hurt anyone.

I told you...
All right, let me suggest another...

version.

Helen comes home
from another night spent with Kyle.

You're waiting for her.
You have a blazing row. Something
snaps.

And you lash out with the first thing
that comes to hand, the hammer.

No... Suddenly the phone rings.
Perfect alibi.

So you bring Melanie home to witness
your "surprise" at finding Helen's
body.

No, it wasn't...

But the problem is, now poor Melanie
gets to witness your handiwork,

finding her own mother
dead on the garage floor.

That was a mistake.
A mistake?

I didn't want her to...

That was meant to be me.

What if he's telling the truth?
Come on!

No, what if he's telling the truth?

He just panicked when he found her
and there was no going back?

He's lying. Why else would he hide
the clothes?

It's a pretty stupid place to hide
them. A city centre building
site?

He's either very cool or very
stupid. Maybe.

But there's no blood spatters
on the clothes, only smears.

Let's get the boys. See what else
they've found.

Can you help me down, please?

Tell me you've got a hammer.

No. It's only a matter of time.
It's got to be here somewhere.

What now, boss?

Sweep it again. Find it.
Go ahead, Kat.

Yeah.

And the witness is sure?

Yeah, get out there, find her,
bring her in.

Kat's got a witness that puts Jess
outside the Gaskell house at 7:45.

She swore she was at home in bed.
Anita confirmed it.

Oh, bloody hell.

Is that your car being given the last
rites?

It's Tom.
Tom? My Tom?

Why's he calling you?

I gave him my number
just in case he needed to chat.

"Took your advice.

Spoke to Nathan.

Have agreed to fight after school.
Cheers. Tom."

Ri... Richard!

And for the avoidance of any doubt.

Tom, it's your mum.
If you do have that fight with
Nathan,

then your games console is going on
eBay, understood?

I think the whole office understood.

Can you come with me, please?

But I've told you everything I know.
You were seen, Jess.

No more lies, Jess.

This time I need the truth.
What?

The truth about dear Auntie Helen?

What a bitch she was?

About how for years she bullied my
mum?

And now she was bullying you,
is that it?

That was my place. Top flier.
Everyone knew that.

That's what cost you the competition.

I don't care about the stupid
competition! Do you not get that?

All I cared about was Kyle.

So when you saw her car at his flat,
it must have made you very angry.

I lay awake all night thinking what
she'd done.

And by seven o'clock I was just so
wound up...

I just could have exploded.

So I just went round to Helen's.
Intending to do what?

Well, I dunno, but...something.

Anything.

But her car wasn't on the drive.

What time was that?

About twenty to eight.

I waited.

That woman opposite started giving
me the evils and I was just
thinking, "This is pointless.

What if she's not coming back
for ages?"

In the end, I just went home.

You didn't see Helen?

You didn't wait for her?

Like I said, I bottled it.

It's genetic.

A bloody jellyfish like my mum.

She did give you an alibi.

No, she didn't know I'd gone out.

I was back in bed
by the time she got up.

So she waits for Helen. She argues
with her.

She kills her, then heads for home
looking for somewhere to hide
the murder weapon.

Come here.

What?

We've been looking in the wrong
direction.

The route that Jess took...
Morton Street to Ballantyne Street.

Kat, I want every scrap of CCTV
footage.

Boys, go and walk the route. Talk to
any witnesses and look for likely
dump sites.

Christ, I'm late. I'll be on my
mobile.

In a bit, yeah? Talk online.
See you.

You two all right, then?

Yeah, Nathan's not bad.
How about Arabella?

I found out she's already got
a boyfriend. In year nine.

Oh, no. An older man.
And she's a United fan.

Listen, I... I just want you to know
I know why you spoke to Richard and
not to me.

Yeah?
Yeah.

0800-11-11 Childline.
Yeah, I know.

What are you doing? Right, that's
it.

Phone 'em. I don't care.

What have you got?
Not what we expected.

What do you mean?
We tracked Jess

along both Morton Street and
Ballantyne Street. Nothing.

Nothing in her hands
and no sign she got rid of anything.

And 15 minutes later, we find this.

JANINE: Is that Anita?

If Jess hasn't got an alibi,
then neither has she.

Here, pass us that. Watch this.

Look, there.

JANINE: What is she putting in that
bin?

BUTCHERS: Yes, you beauty.

I think you owe me a tenner. 20
quid.

(Doorbell rings)

Where's Jess? Is she with you?

Anita, we found the hammer.

You need to come with us.

Can I just finish this first?

She'll need it for practice.

There. I'm ready now.

Listen, I'll see you back there.

There's something I've got to do.

Alan.

I thought you should know we've just
arrested Anita for Helen's murder.

My God.

Her own sister.

Let's not be too self-righteous, eh?

You may not have killed her,
but letting Melanie see her mum like
that?

To protect yourself?

It's unforgivable.

Off the record, I just wanted to say
I think you're a shit.

Ooh, what a shame.

No witnesses.

It was two o'clock when she finally
came in, crying her eyes out.

And no wonder.

She told you about Helen and Kyle?

I wish I could say I was surprised,
but...

it wasn't the first time.

What do you mean?

See, when we were at school,
Helen was always the really popular
one.

Great at sports...

any lad she wanted.

I was the boring younger sister...

..always in her shadow.

Until I met Alan.

Helen's first reaction?
"He's a creep."

But then later,

I'd catch her looking at him like...

Anyway, one day Helen says
she's seen him with another girl.

What am I going to do about it?

Like a fool, I gave him his ring
back.

Three weeks later, that ring's
on Helen's finger.

And here's Jess in the same position.

When I got up, she wasn't in the
house, but I knew exactly where
she'd gone.

When I got to Helen's, Jess was
waiting outside.

I could see how upset she was,
but she didn't see me.

You didn't speak to her?
I didn't want to intervene unless I
had to.

When she gave up and walked away,
I was so relieved.

But I stayed and waited for Helen.

You watched her park the car
and followed her into the garage.

I told her...

"I don't mind what you do to me,
but I won't let you hurt Jess."

She just laughed at me.

Told me I was pathetic, as usual.

She started to walk away and then...

I told her...

"Don't you ever turn your back
on me."

KAT: Right, who's buying, lads?
BUTCHERS: Shappers.

SHAP: What, with that tenner?
20 quid, mate, get it out.

Oi!

This is a pedestrian ar...

Ah!

BUTCHERS: You know who that is,
don't you?

I've always wanted one of these.

What are you compensating for?

It's official, then, your mid-life
crisis?

You don't want a lift home, then?

Yeah, go on, then. Doesn't mean you
can get off with me, you know.

Stand back.

Oh, no.

Only joking!

Hold on tight.

What have we got?

One dead child-killer. Boo-hoo.

The other driver got hurt
pretty badly.

He was coming home!

You're taking the blame because you
think you've got a chance of getting
off.

Are you sure you want to do this?

I know him from somewhere.
