We are now approaching Newstead, Newstead Station.

This service is calling at all stations

Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, there's just something...

..on the... I've just got to check...

BIRDS CAW

CAWING CONTINUES

Right. Let's gather. Had a murderer on the loose for 48 hours

and a very jittery village, so no fussing and flapping.

Come on.

HUM OF CONVERSATION

Right.

SHUSHING

Erm...

..just give me a minute, will you?

DCS St Clair?

St Clair. DI Salisbury.

Kevin.

We've dealt with each other before, during...

Yeah, a lifetime ago, though, eh?

I was surprised when they told me you were actually coming up.

I mean, all we needed from your force was some restricted

information on a victim file.

Could have sent you the questions online,

power of Zoom and all that. Yeah, I'm sure.

But the powers that be and all that.

My commissioner wanted to offer actual assistance, not just words.

So, here I am.

Right, well, I'm just taking the morning briefing,

but there's a kitchen down there if you want a coffee.

Maybe I could sit in, if that would be useful?

This is DI Salisbury from the Metropolitan Police.

He's here to offer us any, um...assistance we might need.

Morning. Morning.

Now, the arrow that was let loose into Gary's body

was from a crossbow.

And the light source on his skull shows the shape of a butt,

probably from the same weapon.

Cleaver?

Our victim profile of Gary Jackson, loving husband, dad and grandad,

retired miner, remained politically active as a member of the NUM,

mainly with ex-miners north of the border, but unpopular

with some swathes of the community here for staying out

throughout in '84.

The landlady at the welfare said a pool ball was thrown after Gary

used the word "scab".

He had his usual three pints of mix.

Neighbours have told us that Gary's been calling him that for years

and nothing's ever happened before.

And I mean, come on, I've been called worse.

Haven't we all? Right, what about The Sparrows,

the archery range?

Yeah, I'm still working my way through a list of visitors,

including any other, you know, so-called scabs.

All right, OK.

Odd as it might sound, particularly for the younger ones,

and I don't mean to be patronising, but that word is still incredibly

loaded and very painful round here,

where most of the miners didn't join the strike when the majority

of miners in the UK did.

And Gary Jackson was an exception in Nottinghamshire,

joining the picket line where that word was shouted

out and caused a lot of anger and extreme violence.

So be mindful, all right?

You know, the tensions still rumble on and we don't want

to make things worse.

So, what about this dog?

No, nothing really.

Right. Well, get onto the radio stations, get the word out.

And what about the powder that was found in Gary's garden?

Yeah. Spoke to the lab.

There's traces of ketamine, but it's burnt to shit.

But they're going to do their best.

Sir.

Sorry. Control have been in touch.

There's a train service near Newstead

that's been attacked by an arrow.

What?

Well, let's get down there.

You carry on with this. Right.

Er, should I come with? Well, I don't know what the expectations

of Scotland Yard are... Well, my understanding was that

Nottingham made contact for help. ..but all we needed was information.

OK, fair enough.

We'll take my car. It's ten minutes. Right.

Erm, can I leave my stuff here? Whatever you want. Nice one.

I mean, unless he IS in his room and not answering...

But, no, no, I don't think he's in there. I think he's...

We've got his sentencing this afternoon. Yeah, he'll be back.

He's just having one last night of freedom.

That's all, or summat. You know, he had nothing to do with...

So why didn't you tell the police about his weapons, then?

How could you not have told them that? Plenty of folk would do

that kind of thing - they're not killers!

I just don't know what to write in a card like this.

Well, you don't write. She's your bleedin' sister. You go round,

for Christ's sake. She won't want me to!

And I can't just not say anything, can I? I can't not acknowledge it.

So what do you want me to do, then, Fred? What am I expected to do?

I'm going to write!

Where did I put my tool box?

I've just reset the devices. They're about to do another run.

I don't want the pigs finding your stuff if they search for it, Rory.

And they will fucking search for it, so...

Do as your mother says.

Ronan, give him a hand. There's a good boy.

And, Rory...

Yeah, I'm not really sure what assistance I can provide

beyond saying that it appears to be an arrow and it came

from that direction over there. I'd say between 50 to 75 yards away.

However, the trajectory is harder to determine.

Well, can we at least check for prints? Yes, sir.

Would an inclinometer help? You know, a laser pointer.

You line it up with the angle of impact... Yeah, I know what

an inclinometer is. But for an arrow, factoring in the wind,

the skill of the shooter,

not to mention the train in motion upon impact,

I'm not sure it would help.

Well, it's just a thought.

Anything else? No, that's it. I'll get this to the lab.

Cheers. Thank you.

Yeah, it's DCS St Clair again.

I need NPAS to send up a helicopter ASAP.

So not a one-off, then?

Who knows? Could just be some silly twat imitating.

All those people, a driver...

Could be aiming at all of them or none of them, just random.

Where's it to and from, the line?

The city, Nottingham. The villages.

And that's really what it's called? Robin Hood?

It's only pocket money, anyhow. Not to be sniffed at,

He did, though...didn't he?

That lad who'd come up here and train on the archery range.

You know, I just thought, you come down here with him sometimes,

you know, just talking tech and stuff.

Look at him. Little man, with your beady eyes everywhere.

No, no, I was just... It's all right. Family, innit?

Look out for each other.

Listen, this old boy that got killed the other night...

The pigs are going to be looking at us, as ever,

cos of who we are and with it being an arrow.

The problem is, Sunday, we were just here, us lot.

You were out, weren't you?

With a mate, you said.

Is he a good mate, this mate?

Yeah.

The thing is, I'm sorry to ask, but you know what they're like.

It'd really help if you and him could agree that I was

with you, an' all, on the park, having a kickabout.

Then we all just came back here,

and we were all just here, if anyone asks.

That'd be all right?

BANGING

All right. All right, mate?

Thing is, it's my fence too. I know, and we always said

we'd wait until after the wedding,

and it's... Well, it's after the wedding.

It's just nice to use the momentum, that's all. All this new stuff...

OK, well, I've just had a bit of a day of it, that's all,

and I've come home to that mess outside.

Look, I'm not being funny, but how old was that fence?

It's practically rotten. We'll cover the cost,

and it's better for the both of us, then, eh? Right, Neel? Hey. Hey.

There'll be a gate, still, won't there, between us?

That was important to your mum.

Neel? Yeah. Where do you think for this occasional chair?

Here? Mm, yeah.

Oh!

What's an occasional chair?

It's a chair you only sit on occasionally.

What kind of chair do you only sit on only occasionally?

Dad... Am I the only one who's never heard of that?

Eh? An occasional chair.

I bumped into him. Yeah.

His...his wife works for me at the building society.

I invited her. I didn't know him, though, but...

Today on the train line, er, someone...aimed something at my cab.

So, you still live round here?

Way back when, I think you lived in the village.

I did, but now I live on the outskirts of the village.

You married?

Yes.

Kids?

No.

No?

How's your brother doing?

Let's not.

So, how long do we have you for, then, to go through all this?

Well, like I say, I'm not completely sure

how much use I'm going to be.

Dog. What? Dog. Black dog.

Taylor...

..and that - I mean her, sorry - to forensics.

I need the collar and the lead checking for DNA and prints.

Oh, and Gary Jackson and Andy Fisher, the driver of the train,

they were both at the same wedding reception on Saturday.

Get me a list of the guests, will you? Starting with me and my wife.

Yep, sure thing.

Look, if it's... if it's not too presumptuous,

can I suggest one thing? You're obviously dying to say something,

so why don't you? But I can assure you we're quite competent up here.

I'm not saying you're not. Come on, you're a DCS, I'm a lowly DI.

If anybody should be feeling...

It's just I might have investigated a larger sample sum of murders

down there, that's all. Oh, yeah, you think so? Try me. Go on.

293.

Well, London sounds fucking lovely.

If you swab the dog's mouth, you might get a human profile

to go through the DNA database. The dog might have bitten the murderer.

Boss? From the lab. We have a match on prints

from a polythene bag in the Jackson back yard.

Aside from the victims, there were two other sets,

both with records - Michael and Rory Sparrow.

Great. You got a warrant? Working on it now.

Let's go. Look, you can tag along, if you want. Yeah.

But, hey, don't be flashing that badge around. The Met still provokes

a lot of reaction round here. Well, if we're heading out,

I might as well change into an actual suit, at least look like

an investigating officer. The bog's down there. All right.

I'll see you in the car. Yeah.

CAR DOOR CLOSES We're just a family taxi firm.

You're saying you haven't handled any class A drugs

in the last couple of weeks?

Well, I don't...I don't recall doing so, no.

And you, sir, run an archery range?

And you've had no contact with Gary Jackson either?

Cos we found a burnt carrier bag in Gary's garden

with your fingerprints on it

and traces of ketamine.

Unbelievable.

This is un...

You lot, you've been after this family for years, haven't you?

And now there's a... Jesus, a dead body,

I picked his missus up.

Lovely little place off Derby Road.

Excuse me. Sir, same fletching pattern as those that hit the train.

Yeah, well, we sell them to visitors. Folk like that pattern.

Right. Well, Michael Sparrow, Rory Sparrow, I'm arresting you

on the suspicion of the murder... Oh, this is fucking ridiculous!

You do not have to say anything... You've done this before.

You know the drill. It's all right, we'll sort it.

It's not too tight, is it?

Yeah, bag that up, will you?

PHONE BUZZES

No, I'm fine. Look, we've...we've got someone. Talk to you later.

Bye.

The solicitor says that the judge has issued

a warrant for his arrest for missing his sentencing.

Right.

Well, that doesn't matter, he was going to jail anyway.

But this will only add to it, won't it?

So what now?

Well, I don't know. The police'll probably come here, won't they?

Police are already here. There's half a dozen on every street.

Well, maybe that's why they haven't. Maybe that's why they won't,

because there's not enough of them. A small matter like this...

No.

That's fine.

So what's up?

Can I ask, erm...

Oh, God, not them. Jesus Christ, tell me it's not them.

No, we don't have any dealings with that lot. Why would we?

They're a bunch of...

Oh, shit.

The allotment.

Yeah, this is...this is Gary's.

A security camera shows Gary entering your allotment

and then the next day you and your son searching his plot.

Were you looking to take revenge on Gary for taking your gear?

I'm not the vengeful type. Too busy.

I were on t'park with him and his mate.

So was it eight or nine?

I dunno. I don't have a watch.

You must be quite good now.

Well...

Fairly handy. Not bad.

Not bad.

Long day?

Yeah, well, it sounds like you've got a strong case -

motive, arrows...

And I suppose all this is a sort of moot issue now, innit?

Not for me, it isn't.

This doesn't add up.

Gary's arrest file.

As you'll see, there's a lot that I can't see,

which is odd for an on-paper law-abiding husband

whose charges were dropped. Yeah, I don't disagree.

It's weird seeing these cardboard folders, isn't it,

in the age of digitised everything?

Is there a transcript of the interview or an audio recording?

Well, as I'm sure you know, the taping of interviews

didn't start until 1991.

Oh, yeah. But I spoke to Gary that night, so I remember.

There was a lot that wasn't straightforward. But that was.

He was accused, arrested, new evidence came forward

and he were cleared, so why...

..why the secrecy?

Isn't that why you're here, to shed light on this?

I'm afraid I think my superiors sent me here

because they're not granting access to any of this.

So, what? You're just a gesture?

Well, that's nice. I'm very touched. But I need to know...

..if this adds to any other motivation for Gary's murder.

Well, you've got the motivation.

He burnt the Sparrows' drugs. And good for him.

If there were anything amiss or anything new about that night,

I need to know.

Look, I can only tell you what I know, all right?

One evening in October 1984...

..which would have been about, what, six months into the strike...

..and there was a tip-off that implicated Gary and four others

as being involved in an attack which...

..caused some serious personal injury.

And one fatality.

I was billeted here with hundreds of other London officers

to help police the escalating violence.

This was my beat as a young constable.

to inflame divisions in the community.

Now, I can tell you that we have some people in custody.

Yeah, but you know what folk are saying, though, right?

That some fucker's targeting striking miners.

I mean, who's next? Am I next?

No, we...have no reason to believe that's the case.

After all, Mr Fisher here was the victim of the act of aggression.

I hope the local elections are still going to be able to run all right,

cos there are certain parties here who tend to benefit

from a lower turnout.

So if they're pushing for that, I'd just bear that in mind.

Oh, come on, it was a joke. We're all going to get re-elected.

Well, technically, you're not getting re-elected

as an independent, are you?

You'd be getting newly elected as a Conservative.

I've always, deep down, been a Conservative, William.

But until recently, that was like saying

I had shit on toast for breakfast round here.

Only it turns out we were the silent majority all along

and just too intimidated to say. And if anyone should be worried

about what this attack might spark,

it's those who come from the families that...

Well, look, I won't speak ill of the dead - Gary Jackson -

that's not who I am.

But back in the day, the attacks on my father from striking miners,

my father, who ran the coach company

that ferried the miners that wanted to work

across the picket line despite, well,

Yeah. Nothing to do with Scott, though. They're not related.

He had nowt to do with them. I had nowt to do with them.

Right, yeah. Well, what have I done?!

Oh...

He was due to be sentenced yesterday for benefit fraud.

Yeah...

So unfair, just cos he didn't declare his savings

when he was claiming his unemployment.

What savings does he have?

My redundancy from the pits. I gave it him when he were little,

during the divorce from his mum. She were f...

Hi, mate. A delivery for next door, but no-one's in.

Can I leave it with you? Yeah.

Cheers. All right.

Thank you. All right.

CINDERELLA: When's my dad back?

Um, they're just waiting for the ship to dock,

and then they'll try and get a flight back,

but they're on their way.

Does it hurt, do you think, to die?

Oh, my God. Why are you asking me that? Do you not think

I'm doing everything I can not to think about that?!

INDISTINCT VOICES

There's something going on at Auntie Cathy's.

POLICE RADIO COMMS

Did I say something that would make the police think...?

Oh, shit, I'm trying to think.

But they arrested them, the Sparrows.

I'm going to call her, me sister. Sod it!

PHONE RINGS

Oh, God.

She knows.

She knows.

Hi, this is Cathy. Leave a message.

So, Scott isn't exactly Edward Snowden.

His hacking, such as it is, is self-taught and pretty amateur.

So what's he looking for? Analysts don't know yet.

A lot of it centres on Gary at first, I'd say to the point

of obsessive, but then there's others based locally,

including the solicitor who was targeted this morning.

Chakrabarti. All right, I'll get over there.

How far did you get?

I was on the platform.

Well, we don't need you. Look...

..if these targets have got something to do with Gary's arrest,

then maybe I should stick around. I'd like to, all right?

Come on, then.

CHAKRABARTI: I didn't mean to withhold any, erm,

from when we spoke earlier, I just...

I deal mainly in family law and tax disputes,

not anything to do with, erm... It's all right, just from the beginning.

I've been helping with some wrongful arrest claims from the strike,

a lot of which have been gathering steam since...

..with the campaign around Orgreave and so on.

Over 11,000 miners were arrested during that year. 11,000.

And even though Gary's charges were dropped, he always felt

he'd been blacklisted from then on, pushed out of the job he loved.

He wanted to know more about why he'd been arrested,

who had it in for him, who'd got it wrong. There's...

I'm not a conspiracy nut, tinfoil hat in the basement kind of...

Well, go on.

Do you know what a spy cop is?

Yeah, course. I mean, I never personally, but...

Undercover cops in the, what, '60s and '70s?

There's an inquiry going on now about... Well, into the practices

of one old unit from Scotland Yard. What was it called? Erm...

S... SDS. The Special Demonstration Squad, yes.

And the inquiry is looking into how and why these spy cops

penetrated so-called radical groups.

The unit's been disbanded, though.

But that doesn't help the people

who over 20, 30 years were unlawfully snooped on

by their own government purely because of their politics.

There's long been a belief that this practice was deployed

in mining communities back then, that the Government placed

undercover officers with fictional identities

into the unions or places like this to gain the confidence of the locals

but were secretly feeding back intel to the Met Police,

possibly the Home Office, even the security services.

Gary's beloved NUM not only believe this is all plausible,

they also told him of a rumour they'd picked up...

..about an undercover spy sent to this community.

Possibly that informant singled out Gary as a militant for arrest.

But - and I'm not defending the practice -

these undercover... Spies.

..officers, OK? Officers.

Well, they were following orders, and they buggered off

when it all ended. Yeah, but that's the thing.

Apparently, this undercover officer didn't bugger off.

The rumour, which Gary believed,

is that he never left - quite the opposite.

He said that he stayed, that this was someone who assumed an identity,

moved here in the '80s, spied on people

and then remained here under their fictional persona to this day.

TOILET FLUSHES

Oh, God, I'm sorry. Andy?! I'm sorry. What the hell are you doing?!

I knocked. I knocked. I did knock.

I was on the toilet, for Christ's sake! Oh... Look, I'm sorry,

but I really don't like that you can just walk in.

I brought you this, your package. You were out.

Oh, God. Thank you. Thank you.

There isn't going to be a gate, is there?

There's no gate, is there?

We have a landscape gardener. She's making all the decisions. We just...

That's what all this is.

Just speak to Neel about it.

He's the one with the green fingers, not me.

You could have just talked to me about it

if that's what you wanted, eh?

I'm not a child. No, I know, I know.

I wanted to, I did. I told Neel we should, but he just kept

putting it off. Well, what did he think I was going to do? I'm not...

Oh, God, it just... It just feels like everything's...

Changing. Yeah. Because it is, Andy!

Your son's just got married.

He's not... He's not just your son any more, he's my husband.

And we want a life together.

Right? And...and it's not Neel.

I don't want to feel like you can just come and go when you please.

I don't want to look up and see you standing there, Andy.

And I don't want to hear you come in while I'm having a bloody piss!

I don't think that's unreasonable!

Me and his mother...

His mother isn't here any more!

Yeah. Because she died.

No. No, Andy.

She killed herself.

And everyone pretends otherwise.

And it's not healthy. It's not right.

Because she was dying of that disease.

She was dying inside. Yeah... SHE LAUGHS

I bet she bloody were. For years!

Oh, God...

SHE SIGHS Oh...

Look, that was horrible...
