JUDGE: On the charge of murder,

do you find the defendant
guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty.

He was a child!
You dirty bitch, a child!

What is your plan, then?
Are you definitely staying?

Of course I'm staying,
it's my home.

If she didn't kill him,
you divorced her for no reason,

she's done nothing wrong.

I can't do anything
if people still believe

that I abused a 16-year-old.

So if the police want
to speak to us again,

we tell them nothing.

Maybe she didn't kill Matty,
but I promise you this,

she's still a very dangerous woman.

I don't know whether you
shouldn't reach out to her.

What do you mean, reach out to her?
See her, speak to her.

I had a miscarriage three months
before the trial.

I was 15 weeks.

He was perfect, Sam.

Why would Anna Stamp have said that
she saw them together, in a car,

kissing, if, as Sally claims,
that never happened?

I want my job back
or I am gonna get

seriously legal on your arse.

You know, I'd always forgive you,
don't you?

No matter what you'd done,
I'd always forgive you.

Hi, I'm here to interview
for the supply teacher post.

Sally Wright.
I know.

Take a seat with the others.
OK.

'Are you even listening to me?'

Wedding photographer, 3PM, tomorrow.

3:30.
3:30, got it.

I still don't understand why you
can't just post it to her.

Because I'm driving
right past her house.

Why have you even
kept her stuff anyway?

Because it's hers,
stuff her Mum and Dad gave her. Why?

You think I should have
just thrown it all away?

She did get the message yesterday,
didn't she?

She will leave us alone now?

She's trying to make
a new life for herself.

And after everything
she's been through,

I think she deserves that,
don't you?

Love you.
Love you too.

'How many different ways
do I say it?'

The answer's "no".

I'll work late,
apologise to the lads,

do whatever I have to.

No, no way!
You've already cost me a days' work.

Please, Jack,
you know what I'm going through.

I need a job.
So you turn up stinking of booze?!

What am I supposed to do, John?

Look, I've already hired
a new brickie.

I can sort you out with a couple
of days graft next week.

It'd be labourer's rates, mind.

Don't bother.

For me, this is about getting
back into teaching.

It was my...

It is my life.

And you're convinced that St Luke's
is the right school for you?

Well, I did my
probationary period here

and I became
Head of Department here.

I know every inch of this school.

And, actually, it's more than that,
I know the kids.

I grew up down the road,
did my teacher training in Keswick.

I know how they think,
how they feel, what inspires them.

When I started at this school
it was in Special Measures,

it was a few months away
from being closed down.

And I worked nights, and weekends,

and fought to help
keep this place open.

It's my passion,
teaching is my vocation,

and I had it taken away from me
for no good reason.

Jo, I'm sorry,
but I'm owed this job.

OK, well,
thanks for coming in, Sally.

In the original investigation
you testified

that you saw Sally Wright
and Matty Taylor

kissing in her car
whilst parked up near Heaton Tor.

Yes.

So, five years on,
I just want to double check

that you're sure it was them.
100%.

Thank you.

And you said that this encounter
took place on April 16th? Yes.

And you knew that
for sure because...?

Because it was the first
night of the school play.

Much Ado About Nothing.

They'd gone to Heaton Tor
after the final rehearsal,

but before the start of the show.

And you're absolutely
sure of that timing?

Completely.
OK.

So, the track...

..to Heaton Tor
was closed that day.

The council had shut it because
they were pollarding the trees.

There was no access
for any vehicles.

Maybe it was the second night, then.

The track was closed for two weeks
either side of the 16th.

No, you've made a mistake.

We have the council records
confirming it.

Actually, it was the week
of sports day.

You just told us you were
completely convinced

it was during the school play.
I was wrong, it was sports day.

I don't believe you, Anna.
It's the truth.

I think you fabricated
the whole encounter. No.

And if you did... I didn't.
..I have to ask myself why?

Why would you do that, Anna?

Unless, of course,

you were trying to deflect
attention away from yourself.

Where were you when Matthew Taylor
was murdered?

I didn't kill him.
Where were you?

Leeds.
On a school day?

I went to see a band there,
left straight after school.

Which band?
I can't remember.

But I went with Melanie Benson,
she was in my class. Ask her.

And where can we find Melanie?
Is she a local girl? I dunno.

But I went with her, I swear.

I never killed him.

So, my guess is Sally Wright
and Matthew Taylor

had a perfectly normal
pupil-teacher friendship. Agreed.

The only question now is how big
a part the rumours of an affair

might have played in his murder?
And Stamp?

Well, let's start
with fingerprinting,

but let's also get the ball rolling
on perjury charges.

Yeah, sure thing.

See you later, love. Bye-bye.

'Emily?'

Emily, was she here to see you?

Myself and others.
Why?

She was interviewing
for the supply teacher post.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Please tell me you're not thinking
of giving her the job.

Nothing's been decided yet.

The governors will
have to discuss this.

It's a supply position.
Even so, Sally Wright?

Sally Wright has got
a history of offending.

Look, Karen, can we discuss this...

At an emergency meeting
of the governing body, yes.

I'll make the calls.

And here we are.

Number 44.

Thank you.

DOOR CREAKS

HE CHUCKLES

Oh, Sam, thanks so much
for keeping all this for me.

How could I not?

Oh, but I can't believe
you kept that.

I nearly didn't.
Ha!

Whoops!
Hey!

HE CHUCKLES
Oh, you rotten thing.

Sal? I want you to know, it was...
it was hard.

So hard, turning my back on you,
on us.

Yeah, you don't need to explain.

It's not something
I ever thought I would do.

In fact, when they brought me
the divorce papers,

I just wanted to tear them up,

pretend none of this
had ever happened.

Yeah, but it had.

I was in prison,
a convicted murderer.

But, even then...

..I didn't want to believe it.

I mean, how could I?

But the police and the lawyers,
they all seemed... so sure.

And the press were
on my doorstep,

colleagues making jokes,

strangers asking me what you
got from a 16-year-old boy

that you weren't getting from me.

And, er, in the end...
I let them wear me down.

I let them convince me.
Sam, this just...

I gave up on you
when you were at your lowest ebb.

This wasn't our fault.
We never asked for any of this.

I'm so sorry.

That's all.
I know.

So, no fingerprint match
for Anna Stamp found

on the remainder
of the murder weapon,

but she absolutely
remains a suspect.

She lied about Sally
and Matthew's relationship,

she stood up in court
and deliberately

pointed the finger
at an innocent woman.

And I want to know why.

I know it's no consolation,

but the CPS will be charging
Anna Stamp with perjury

and conspiracy to pervert
the course of justice.

Did you find out why she lied?
No.

And I know you will have asked
yourself this a million times,

but did you ever come up
with any reason

why Anna might have
targeted you specifically?

No. No, and trust me, I had a lot
of time to think about it.

You never actually taught her,
did you?

But you directed the school plays?
Yeah.

Did she ever get involved
in any of that,

in any drama projects?

I don't remember her being
in any of our productions,

but I'll check.
Great.

I'm really sorry that this
wasn't discovered sooner.

Yeah.

Yeah, so am I.

Look, I'm not the one who has
to go through another trial.

I mean, his poor parents.

Can you imagine losing
your only child

and then having to dredge
this up again?

And we're very sensitive to that,
DCI Braithwaite more than most.

So if you do think of anything else,
just give us a call.

I will.
Thanks.

So, the original investigation
detailed that Matthew was briefly

under the care
of Keswick Social Services,

following some issues at home.
We went through all this last time.

I'm sure you understand that we have
to review everything again,

given Sally Wright's acquittal.

It was a fuss over nothing.

The case officer at the time agreed

there was no need
for further action.

Matthew was out the house
for two nights, no more.

According to the file,

he was found sleeping
on a park bench.

A temporary foster home
had to be found for him.

We had a falling out, that was all.

I'd had a few issues
to do with the army.

I'd recently left.

I had PTSD.
I found it hard being back and...

Me and Matty, well...

We argued more than
we should have, really.

He was a good lad.

What were these arguments about?

Teenage stuff.

Hormones, attitude.

One night it got a bit out of hand.

I'd had a skinful,

he was acting up,
so I threw him out.

I mean, I called him straight after,
asked him to come home, but...

It took a few days to sort out.

This was roughly...
four months before his death?

So, once Matthew was back home,
how were things?

Fine.

No more rows?
No. No.

Was there any particular reason
why things suddenly improved?

DC Green, I understand why
you need to ask these questions,

but, please,
don't sit here in our home implying

we had anything to do
with our son's death.

We loved him.

We'd never have hurt him.

And you tell us Sally Wright
had nothing to do with his death,

well, we'll never believe it.

It's not about public opinion.

Sally Wright had an inappropriate
relationship with a pupil.

You should be aware,
Sally Wright rang the school earlier

informing me it's been proven

Anna Stamp made up the rumours
about Matthew and Sally.

I wouldn't take anything
that woman says on face value.

Of course she'd say that.
Which is why I rang the police.

I spoke to the SIO
on the investigation

who confirmed they're pursuing
charges of perjury

against Anna Stamp.

As I've always said,
I was with a probationer,

a lad called Aaron Holmes,
at his flat in Castleton.

OK, thank you.

Oh, and if you could just remind
me of the timings.

Er, I left Keswick at 5:15,
20 minutes there, 20 minutes back.

I was with Aaron about 15 minutes,
so I was gone just under an hour.

And he'll confirm that?

He already confirmed it.

But you're more than welcome
to ask him again.

Anyone else present?
No, just us.

And this was a regular appointment
or a one-off?

Regular. It's all there
in my client log,

feel free to take a look.

Did you have any contact
with Matty Taylor

on the day he was killed?
No.

What about in the days
or weeks before his death?

No.
But he... he had come to your house?

He turned up a few times
when things were bad at home,

but that was to see Sally, not me.
Right.

So, can I ask when you became aware
of the rumours about him and Sally?

Only after her arrest.

Nothing at all before that?
No.

It's just...

we believe that Anna Stamp
started those rumours

up to two months before
Matty's death.

Well, I hadn't heard them.
Right.

And if I had,
I wouldn't have believed them.

To be honest, I didn't even
believe them during the trial.

And afterwards?

Well, then I didn't have
much choice, did I?

Is that, er...?
Yeah, that's fine, thank you.

SHE SIGHS

'I have known when there
was no music in him

'but the drum and the fife,

'and now he would rather hear
the tabour and the pipe...'

'I have known when he would
have walked ten mile...'

KNOCK AT DOOR

Sorry to bother you at home, Sal,

but I thought it best
we talk away from school.

Yeah, come in.
Oh, I can't stay.

I just wanted to let you know
that the Board Of Governors

has discussed your application.
Hm?

You've got the job.

I thought it was important
we told you straightaway.

Perhaps we could go for that
pint of pinot sometime?

To celebrate?
Yes.

Yes!

Thank you.

OK, I'll call you later.

So, according to the Taylors,
it was all just a storm in a teacup.

But you're not convinced?

Maria Taylor was working
full-time back then, John wasn't,

so he was the main carer.

Prior to the bust up,
he used to help out

at Matthew's football coaching
at school, he drove the team bus.

After the bust up,
all of that stopped.

Staff had to fill in
cos Taylor refused to do it.

Also, I checked with the school
about the play.

According to their records,

the Taylors only
requested one ticket,

despite Matthew having
a lead role.

OK. Er, speak to members of staff,
Matthew's old school friends.

Let's see if we can find
any concrete evidence

of estrangement within the family.

Also, apply for a warrant to access
Taylor's medical record.

Let's see how his PTSD affected him.

Sam Wright?
Seems kosher enough.

Exemplary work record, no priors.

He denies seeing Matthew Taylor
on the day

and any knowledge of the rumours
about the boy and his wife.

His work schedule puts him in
Castleton at the time of the murder,

though we have no independent
verification of that currently.

We need to speak to his alibi,
double-check those timings.

Also, run the rule over site CCTV,
vehicle movements, other witnesses.

See if we can definitely
place him in Castleton. OK.

And can we speak to the Wrights'
former neighbours?

See if they were aware of any
tension between Sam and Matthew.

Look, do I buy that he wasn't
aware of any rumours?

Yeah, I'm not so sure.

Suzy?
Chasing down Anna's alibi.

There was a Melanie Benson
at school,

but we're still trying
to locate her.

The school confirmed Anna was
never formally disciplined by Sally,

no specific flashpoints,
but didn't have much else.

What about her relationship
with Matthew?

They didn't appear to have one.

I've only done the three months
before his death so far,

but no social media contact
at all in that timeframe.

Go back further.

Odds on, Anna lied to the police

because she had
a thing about Matthew

or a grudge against Sally.

I'd like to know which, OK?

Karen, why are you getting involved?
Because I'm the chair of governors.

Because I don't want her
teaching my daughter.

Doesn't it bother you,

that Bethany will have to share
a classroom with your ex-wife?

I know it's not ideal,
but it is what it is.

Or are you more concerned
about Sally's well-being?

I think that's unfair.
Is it?

Because you seem very concerned
about her, all of a sudden.

But what about us?
What about your own stepdaughter?

Don't you dare question
my commitment to you or to Bethany.

Have I ever let you down, or Beth?

In spite of all the shit
that we've had to deal with.

No, of course not.

I've lied to that school
numerous times

when Beth hasn't bothered
to turn up.

I've ferried her to endless
counselling sessions.

And what's been my reward?
Hostility and suspicion.

She's never made me feel
welcome in this house.

Sam, please don't.
Others would have walked away,

they'd have run a bloody mile,
not me.

No, I stayed.
And I'm grateful. We both are.

We both know how lucky
we are to have you.

HE SIGHS

I'm sorry.

I completely understand,
I just get scared, that's all.

There's nothing to be scared of,
love.

Nothing at all, I promise.
Thank you.

SHE WHISPERS

Anna!

Hey, sweetheart.

I've been trying to get
hold of you for two days.

Oh, my phone's been off.

I spoke to Esther.

And she said that you were...

..being questioned about
Matty Taylor's death?

What was he to you?

SHE SOBS
Matty was a dear friend!

He was a dear friend
and he was brutally murdered

by that piece of shit!

Hey.
How can you ask me that?

Hey, look, come here.

SHE SOBS

Look, whatever has happened,

all right, it's gonna be OK.

Mm.

What are you doing?
Come on, come on...

Mark? Mark, get off!

Why won't you let me touch you?
Huh? Why?

We've talked about this,
I want to wait until we're married.

Yeah, what if I don't want
to wait, hm?

What do you mean?

What if I want you,
right here, right now?

Well, I just said...
We're in a graveyard.

I know.
I told you I didn't want to.

DC Green asked me for information
about John Taylor's PTSD,

but as I was going through
his file, I came across this.

Mr Taylor visited the surgery
and consulted one of my colleagues

about a lesion on his right testicle
that turned out to be a cyst.

So they ran more tests
and that's when they discovered

Mr Taylor was infertile.

Always had been.

Right, so you're saying
that there's no way...

That Matthew Taylor could
have been his biological son.

Did you know that John wasn't
Matty's biological father

prior to his visit to the GP?
No.

But obviously you knew
there was a possibility.

How did he react?

How did he react to the news?

Must have been hard for him.

Was the father a local man?
No.

He was a one night stand.

A drunken mistake on a girl's
weekend in Blackpool.

I never even knew his name.

It was just some guy she met
one night in Blackpool.

A mistake after we'd rowed.
It meant nothing.

She never even knew his name.

Look, John, I understand that you
don't want to talk about this,

but if there was somebody else
in Matthew's life,

someone who thought he might
have a claim on him...

..we need to know about that.

There was nobody else.

I was Matty's dad, end of.

You son was murdered, Maria.

Stabbed with a broken bottle.

It wasn't premeditated,

it was... messy.

Ugly.

Maybe even accidental.

It was the act of someone
who was angry.

Desperate.

Vengeful.

I'm guessing that John
was in a bad place at the time,

devastated by the news
of Matty's maternity,

drinking too much,
angry with you.

Angry with Matty.
No.

Well, he'd stopped coaching him,
hadn't he?

He refused to go to school plays...
John would never have hurt Matty.

Then perhaps his real father did?

Perhaps Matty rejected him.

Or maybe to hurt you.

He killed your boy.
No.

Your whole life was a lie.

Because Maria never told you,

because she let you bring up
somebody else's kid.

You must have been
humiliated, angry.

And I have to ask myself, John,
if you took that out on Maria.

On the boy's father?

On Matthew himself?

Like I said,

it didn't mean anything.

Who is he?

Who is Matty's real father?

I said it was a one night stand,

it had nothing to do
with Matty's death.

Why are you protecting him?

He had a motive to harm your son.

He didn't, it wasn't like that.

Give me his name.

If I find out that you're
deliberately shielding a suspect,

I can, and will, bring charges.

Obstruction,
withholding information.

You do what you have to do,
Mr Braithwaite.

Interview terminated.

DOOR OPENS

So, that's all you've got to say?

Karen, we reached
a collective decision.

Well, the parents are not happy.

I've had dozens of them
come up to me today.

Well, send them to me,
I'll talk to them.

You know, as chair,
I expect my concerns to be addressed

and, if I feel like
I'm being ignored,

I'll have no choice
but to consider my position.

It would obviously be a shame,
but that's a decision for you.

As for Sally Wright, she stays.

When did you grow
a fucking backbone?

Anybody?

Anybody at all?

Yes, Hardeep?

Is it about identity?

That's exactly right.

Shakespeare suggests that maleness,
femaleness, they're just roles,

qualities that are learned,
rather than innate.

I'm sorry. Jack, is it? Ellis?

Can you tell me what's
so interesting

that you're prepared to break
school rules on phones in class?

Thank you.

This is English,
Jack, not biology.

Those idiots wouldn't
understand either, Miss.

LAUGHTER
Oh, right.

Well, maybe we can educate them.

Ellis, why don't you read
the highlighted passage

from act two, scene four, please?

Too old by heaven,
let still the woman take

an elder than herself.

So wears she to him, so sways...

You were saying the letters were
actually carved into her skin? Yeah.

You saw them clearly,
they spelt out Matty's name?

As clear as day.

You and Anna have been dating
for nearly two years now.

I only ask because I'm curious
as to why you're telling me this,

why you decided to contact us.

Well, it wasn't...

..an easy decision, but, erm...

..in the end, I felt like I had to.

Hey, Karen.

Karen?

Hey.

Please.

Look, I do appreciate how
difficult this must be for you,

me coming back here,
but I promise you,

I'm not here to cause you
any trouble.

If...

If you had an ounce of decency,
you would NOT have come back here.

I'm coming!
APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS

Anna Stamp?

DS Jones. We have a warrant
to search your premises.

OK, Gary,
you over in that corner, books.

Esha, cabinet, drawers, you know.

Oh, yes, I knew there
were problems at home.

I tried to find out the cause
but Matty would never discuss it.

It's what we argued about
the day he died.

He'd been acting up in class,
worse than ever,

so I held him back afterwards
and tried to get him to talk about

what was bothering him, to open up,
but he wouldn't say a word.

He wanted to leave.

I did try to stop him,
just cos I was so worried about him.

And that's when he...

when he lashed out at me
and scratched my face and neck

and then he ran off, it was...

It was horrible.

OK, right, well,

thank you for your time,

and definitely
for the audition list.

DCI Braithwaite?
Oh, call me Mike.

I've just got to say,

I'm so sorry to learn about what
happened to your wife and daughter.

How you're even putting one foot
in front of another, I've no idea.

You have my deepest sympathy.

Yeah, I'm not...

sure I have a choice, really.

You just have to keep
moving forward, don't you?

Yeah.

But, erm,

thank you for saying it,
I really appreciate it.

PHONE BUZZES

Sorry, I have to take this.
Sure.

Suzy?

'Mike, I've just arrested
Anna Stamp.'

We need you back here.
'OK, I'm on my way.'

They will find out, you know.

They'll get his name.

And everyone will know what you did.

BRAITHWAITE: This is a list
of pupils who auditioned

to be in Much Ado About Nothing
the year Matthew died.

Which, er, unfortunately,
you didn't get a part in.

It's a stupid play.
Why should I care?

Well, because I think you
were obsessed with him.

No, I wasn't.

In fact, the only reason
you auditioned

was so you could get close to him.
That's not true.

Then why have you got his name
carved onto your chest?

Did you do it before...

or after he died?

Before.

Was it Matthew's idea?

No, he never even knew about it.

I'm showing Miss Stamp
a series of photos

that were recovered from
her flat earlier today.

Tell us about these, Anna.

OK, so we went out for a bit
at the start of Year 11,

it was no big deal.
Except it was, wasn't it? To you?

I've done a bit of research
on you at that time, Anna.

Your dad was away a lot,
your mum was working nights.

I'm guessing you spent
a lot of time on your own.

At school, you had friends,

not mates.

No crew as such,
always on the periphery of things.

And then you bag Matty.

The best looking,

coolest, most desirable kid
in your year.

Oh, you must have felt like
you were walking on air.

That finally you had something.

Someone.

Except for Matthew...

..it meant nothing.

Didn't it?

You meant nothing.

He wasn't interested in you, was he?

I've gone over your phone history
from that time.

It turns out,
you were messaging Matty constantly.

And for a bit, he responded.

But then very quickly,
his replies stopped.

By the time of his death,

nearly a year after this,

he'd not contacted you
in over nine months.

You'd become completely
invisible to him.

We were doing different subjects,
we had different interests.

Yeah, he'd got the drama bug,
hadn't he?

Got a big part in the school play,

which meant he spent more time
with Sally Wright.

Her choice, not his.
She was obsessed with him.

Always gave him the best parts,

always doing one-on-one
rehearsals with him.

That's why you spread the rumours,
isn't it? Because you were jealous.

No, there was something going on,
I could see it.

She would keep him back after school
so they could be together,

and he went over to her house
loads of times.

And you knew that how?

Because you followed him there?
I was looking out for him.

You were spying.

On him, yes.
I was not.

You were,
and because you were angry

and you were hurt
and you were lonely,

you decided that she was sleeping...

She WAS sleeping with him!
Why else would he ignore me

when it was so obvious
we were meant to be together?

To make yourself feel better,
you spread lies...

about them, lies which grew...

No.
Yes.

..and grew and ultimately
landed Sally Wright in the dock

and you in the witness box.

They were together,
I still believe that.

No, you don't.

Anna, look at me.

Look at me.

You don't believe that.

You never did.

KAREN: Why are you taking her side?
Why are you always taking her side?

Because she's been wronged, very...

very badly wronged.
She brought it on herself.

She's suffered more than
you can possibly imagine.

What do you mean?

Oh, nothing.
Forget I said anything.

No, what do you mean, Sam?

Sally miscarried...

when she was awaiting trial.

She lost her baby, YOUR baby.

Of course it was my baby.

When did she tell you this?
The other night.

When you went round to talk to her.
Yeah.

So why on earth didn't you
say something afterwards?

I wanted to.

So, the whole time, when we...

You were thinking about that?

Mike.
Yeah?

We've found Melanie Benson.
And?

She confirmed she was with Anna
that afternoon in Leeds

at a Bastille gig.

They left straight after school,
got home just before midnight.

And...

..she kept the ticket stubs
as a souvenir.

Just scanned them over.
Thank you.

Hey.

It will be OK, Mum, won't it?
Of course, love.

Of course.

Come to bed, John.

Please.

Love, this in't gonna help.
Don't touch me!

The whole town's gonna know!
No, they won't.

All because you couldn't keep
your fucking legs together!

John!

John, where are you going?

DOOR SLAMS

Hello.
Hi.

Don't worry, I won't keep you.

I just... I had to give you this.

It was with all my stuff,
but actually,

this is yours.
HE CHUCKLES

I bought you that on our
first proper date, remember?

Course I remember.

Don't throw away the past.

DOOR SHUTS

DRAWER SCRAPES

Who was at the door?

Oh, it's just Mel,
dropping off some files.

Are you being looked after, Steve?
Yeah.

GLASS SMASHES
John! John, what you doing?

SALLY GASPS
Fuck! Karen.

You can't be here.
I just want a word.

You need to go.
I'll be brief.

Stay away from Sam.

I know what you're doing...
and it's gonna stop.

Yeah, and that would suit you
down to the ground, wouldn't it?

A man you've mooned over
for years and years,

now you've finally got him.

But here's the thing, Karen.

He's not yours.

He never was.

KAREN GASPS

You come near Sam
or my family again,

I will destroy you!

She wants to break up our family,
Sam, so she can get you back.

She's obsessed with us.

What you went through,
the anger you must feel every day

for what you lost.
I didn't lose anything!

It was all taken from me,
it was fucking stolen!

Why don't you just ask me?
Did I kill him?

Both you and your daughter
had a very good motive

for actually killing him.

Hey, Sam, it's me.

I'm here to tell you the truth.
