- Do I know you?

- Dunno.

I'm a nurse.

- 12 years ago, Rick and I helped to put Paul Harvey behind bars...

..after he drugged and strangled two nurses in Cleddau Woods.

- Look familiar?

- That's Robert Jenkins.

He lived with the Harveys at the time of the historical murders.

- Robert Jenkins is Mel Owen.

- Where are you, Mati?

- Don't shoot.

Don't shoot. GUNSHOT

- The gunman at Bontwerdd High School...

..could be the original killer of both nurses.

- Sian Hinton - there's no way Paul could have killed her.

He was with me.

- What if Anna Harvey isn't lying? We should have got him 12 years ago.

- At least we caught him three days before the deadline.

- Yes, with Abbi's blood on our hands.

- So, what was it like? Seeing Rick?

- That's all ancient history.

- Do you realise how difficult it's been for me, Rick?

Seeing you two back together, day and night?

- I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for that to happen.

- It's the shock, that's all.

A gut reaction - you were panicking.

Our emotions are all over the place.

- Oh, God.

- Completely understandable. OK?

The best thing is to pretend it never happened.

Kiss. What kiss?

- Ha!

Ffion?

Ffion? - Go home to your family.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- That was the engagement party.

Rick asked for my permission.

He was all nerves in his cheap suit.

So, I said...

.."No."

You should have seen his face.

But now, Ffion's home alone...

..and I never see Rick.

- These are from 12 years ago, Griff.

- It didn't work out.

Rick's married to a nurse now.

- You're not married, are you, love?

You're not married, are you, love? - No.

Can't find anyone as good as my dad.

DAY 5

- Mogs.

Mogs. - Boss.

- Hey.

How are you?

After yesterday?

- My shoulder's still sore, but I'll live.

How is Mati?

- She woke up screaming.

Says she's never going back to school.

- Shit.

Shit. - Mm-hmm.

- DOOR OPENS

- Police doctor's with Mel now.

- The gun he used has been sent to NABIS.

- Right, I've gone over Mel's statement...

..when he was in Harvey's care at the time of the historical murders.

Just to give us context and to fill you in, Mogsy.

So, Mari Quinlan, the first victim suspected Mel, aka Robert Jenkins...

..who was 17 at the time, was being abused...

..when he turned up to A&E with broken ribs and multiple bruises.

Maybe that was a red flag for Mari Quinlan...

..because she warned Social Services.

- Who the hell allowed them to foster children?

- They'd fostered before.

Anna Harvey had lost three babies.

So, Mari Quinlan.

A few weeks later, she was seen arguing with Paul Harvey...

..before getting into his van.

- He claimed he took her home to check on Mel.

- Mari Quinlan wasn't seen again...

..until her body was found in Cleddau Woods.

Six days later - Sian Hinton, Mari's friend...

..also a nurse - went missing.

Her body was found in the woods the following night.

We found evidence that Sian had been kept alive in a disused bunker...

..prior to her murder.

The night Sian Hinton's body was moved...

..Mel was in his attic bedroom...

- Which tells us Mel probably knew nothing about what was going on...

..and that Harvey killed both nurses to conceal the abuse.

- But abused kids keep secrets.

Maybe Mel knew more than we thought.

- But that's not why Mel's here, Ffion.

We need to nail him for Abbi's murder.

- Which has a similar M.O.

All three bodies were found with heart knots.

- He's Loony Tunes, Ffion.

He walked into a school and pointed a loaded gun at my daughter.

- You two. My office.

I've received a letter from Ryan Moss' solicitor.

He's filed an official complaint...

..about being coerced into a confession.

"When I admitted I'd argued with Abbi in the woods...

"..the police shut me down...

"..and charged me with murder without allowing to explain."

He intends to go to the press.

- Oh, come one, we didn't coerce him.

- The interview transcripts should shed light on that.

- Sir.

He attacked my sister, went on the run.

He lied about arguing with Abbi in the woods.

- So you let your feelings towards your sister get the better of you?

- No.

- At least we have Mel and the scarf.

Job done.

- We also need to consider the connection Mel has to Harvey.

- In terms of a copy cat?

- And in light of Anna Harvey's revelation.

It means our perspective...

..of what really happened that night has to shift.

- That's a scab I can't afford to pick.

Harvey's already interfering, asking to help with the investigation.

- It might be worth hearing him out.

It might be worth hearing him out. - I won't be a pawn in his game!

In view of this complaint...

..and the fact that you've both been personally affected...

..I don't think you two should conduct the interview.

- I'm the SIO!

- Come on, Sir, let me look the bastard in the eye.

- I rest my case!

Celyn and Mogsy can step up.

Like you said, Rick - job done.

And we don't want to complicate things with new theories...

..about the past.

- I can't believe we're in the gallery like muppets.

- You landed us here, Boss. Harping on about the past.

- Interview with Mel Owen, formerly known as Robert Jenkins.

DS Howells, DC Morgan...

..and duty solicitor Mr Michael Bedoe present.

Where did you get the gun, Mel?

Why take a gun to the school?

- Whatever I've done, I understand I deserve to be punished.

- How long have you been back in Pembroke Dock?

- Weeks.

Months.

- Why come to Cleddau Woods?

Did anyone else know about your den?

Did anyone else know about your den? - No.

- No-one else had access to it?

No-one else had access to it? - My secret.

- So, everything inside, it was yours?

- What were you doing on Friday afternoon...

..between 3.00pm and 4.00pm, Mel?

- Drinking, probably.

- Where?

Where? - Dunno. The woods.

- Did you happen to see this young woman?

- That's Abbi Rayner.

The nurse who was strangled in the woods on Friday night.

Not that far from your den.

- Have you ever seen this scarf before?

- No.

- Then how come we found it in your den after we put the fire out?

It's the murder weapon, Mel.

So I'm going to ask you again.

Did you see Abbi Rayner in the woods on Friday?

- Did you murder Abbi Rayner...

..using the scarf we found hidden in your den, Mel?

- We don't talk about the nurses!

- You need to remain calm.

You don't have to answer their questions.

He said "Nurses." He was referring to the past.

- Vaughan said to concentrate on Abbi.

- He has a heart knot tattoo on his back with initials R.J. inside.

- He's taking us back to that time.

There's clearly something frightening him.

When did he get the tattoo? Why? What's he hiding?

If we unlock the past...

..we might find out why he killed Abbi Rayner.

- OK.

- So, what did you brief them on?

- Wait and see.

- Twelve years ago...

..your foster father, Paul Harvey, strangled two nurses.

You were 17 and called Robert Jenkins.

Those murders were known as the Heart Knot murders, Mel.

Do you know why?

- Dad liked heart knots.

He made them for Mam's dead babies.

- There was a heart knot carved on a tree...

..near where Abbi Rayner's body was found in the woods.

Had her initials inside - A.R.

She was also a nurse.

You've got one tattooed on your back...

..with the initials R.J. inside.

Robert Jenkins.

- Robert Jenkins is dead.

Gone!

- When did you get it done?

- Come on, Celyn.

- Mel?

- It's a loop.

A never-ending circle of love.

You can't escape it.

- Mari Quinlan wanted you to escape, didn't she, from the abuse?

- The fucking nurses.

They tear the families apart.

It's all my fault.

No, please, Dad!

Not the hole!

- CRYING

- It's too dark.

- MEL CRIES

My client is clearly agitated. We have to break.

- Oh, God. Nice one, Ffion.

- Interview suspended 09:44.

- You OK, Mel? Look, you can take a break.

Just tell me what you meant, "not the hole"?

- This is deeply inappropriate.

- He made me sleep in it.

Mam sang to keep the demons away...

..but the demons are in here!

Got his medical records through.

Mel is suffering from PTSD after a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2013.

Flashbacks, psychosis, blackouts.

His best friend in the army...

..was shot dead in front of him in their bunker.

- Well, that could explain why he's so protective of his den.

- No.

His trauma started way before the army.

We can thank Harvey for that.

While he cools down, I suggest we have an early lunch.

- Shall I do a sandwich run?

Shall I do a sandwich run? - Not for me.

- Is he here?

- He's locked up in jail, Mel.

MEL SCREAMS

- I'm sorry I took so long to answer.

I've been having death threats over the phone.

I barely go out these days.

I'm still being punished for what Paul did.

- I'll get the local PCs to pass by.

Do regular patrols.

Do regular patrols. - Thanks.

The gunman at the school was my foster son.

Robbie.

Robbie. - I know.

- My boy.

Why didn't he come to see me?

But then what use had I been to him?

Love couldn't protect him.

No wonder he ran off.

- The night Sian Hinton's body was moved from the bunker to the woods?

Where was Mel - Robbie?

- In bed.

- In bed where exactly?

The bedroom in the attic with a sealed window?

Which is what you told the police. Or was he somewhere else?

Somewhere so terrible, you sang outside the door to soothe him?

You locked him in?

- Paul did.

To teach him a lesson.

Not to bring strangers to our door.

- Does that window open?

- I think so.

- Was Robbie able to drive?

Was Robbie able to drive? - Yes.

Paul taught him. Why?

- Well, as you've now told us Harvey was home all night...

..I just wondered if Robbie might have moved Sian's body.

- No. My Robbie would have never done that..

He had nothing to do with it.

He was troubled...

..but he was gentle.

He'd only ever harm himself.

Is there anything else?

I need to call a taxi to take me to an oncology appointment.

- I'll give you a lift.

- Thanks.

- Haven't we got enough, Sir?

With the school shooting, the scarf in his den and his psychosis?

- News of Harvey's appeal is spreading.

The press are closing in and the top brass are giving me earache.

Rumours are already rife that we got the wrong man twelve years ago.

After what happened with Ryan Moss...

..and before the town loses all faith in us...

..I'd like a confession.

- He's not even admitting to having seen Abbi, Sir.

He's all over the place.

And...

..it's not helped by Ffion...

..instructing Celyn to ask about the past.

- Hmm.

Oh.

Oh, thanks.

You're very kind.

- ANNA COUGHS

CONTINUES TO COUGH

- Thanks. You're the first person who's looked out for me in years.

- Anna Jennings.

- Hey, Ffion.

What are you doing here?

- Just doing someone a favour.

How is Mati?

- She's with my mum.

Thank you again for saving her.

You're a star.

And sorry if I ever, you know...

..made you feel uneasy.

Possessive wife and all that.

Rick's lucky to have you as a partner.

Keep changing the dressing!

- MOBILE

- Hey, Boss.

Hey, Boss. - Hey, Celyn.

Can you get the Harvey case files from my desk?

- Hang on. Alex Hinton?

What? Sian's husband?

I'm just getting it now.

I'm just getting it now. - Thanks.

- Erm, yes, it's here.

Right.

Yes. Here it is.

OK, erm, the night Sian Hinton's body was moved...

..from the bunker to Cleddau Woods...

..Alex Hinton saw Harvey's van at around 10.00pm...

..coming out of a side road on the western side of the woods.

At first, he couldn't give a clear description...

..other than the driver was a white male wearing a baseball cap.

Then, after Harvey was arrested...

..he picked him out of a line-up in an ID parade.

Erm, yes.

22 Ashurst Square.

SA72 5CC. What?

- The phone.

What is it, Ffion?

- There's an outside chance Mel was driving Harvey's van...

..the night Sian Hinton's body was dumped.

I'll explain later.

I just want to pop to Alex Hinton's house to check on his statement.

- Hang on, Ffion.

You can't resurrect the most tragic time of Alex's life on a whim.

- OK. Well, I'll be sensitive.

- Well, at least let me come with you?

I know him better than you.

- I'm not too far from his address. It'll be fine.

- Remember how upset you were when he laid into you?

- Why do you think I'm doing this?

OK, if we messed up...

..if we put the wrong man behind bars...

..in your words, we need justice for Sian Hinton.

- Yes, I know that, but...!

- Everything OK?

Rick?

- Hmm? Erm, yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Alex, it's Rick.

When you get this message, will you call me back, please?

It's urgent.

- Robbie was always a weird kid.

He'd self-harm.

Throw himself down the stairs.

Bang his own head.

Anything for attention, but I...

..I never thought of him as evil.

And then when I saw him on the news...

..that's when it all fell into place.

And now, I want to...

..do right by Mari Quinlan...

..and Sian Hinton.

I have new information about the past.

Now...

..DCI Vaughan won't want to know about it.

So, I need you to get in touch with the SIO, DI Ffion Lloyd.

She'll come running.

She's a stickler for the truth.

- KNOCKING AND DOOR OPENS

- Hey.

So how did it go with Alex?

- He wasn't in.

- Sorry if I came on a bit too strong earlier..

..but I've seen what Sian's murder has done to him over the years.

He's never got over losing the mother of his child.

- If only we'd found her.

- We tried, Ffion.

- Not hard enough.

- OK, what makes you think Mel was driving the van?

- I talked to Anna Harvey.

I talked to Anna Harvey. - Oh, shit, Ffion.

- Mel wasn't in the attic the night Sian Hinton's body was moved.

He was sleeping downstairs in a boxroom with a window.

Now, as a victim of abuse in Harvey's thrall...

..in his head, the nurses could have been a threat...

..out to hurt him.

If Harvey was home that night, Mel could have been the driver.

- But Alex placed Harvey at the wheel, so Anna must be lying.

- What's in it for Anna? She's shit scared of him.

- I don't know, Ffion.

But I will say this.

When you go rogue and shut me out...

..it feels like you don't trust me.

- KNOCKING AND DOOR OPENS

- Doctor says we can interview Mel..

..but we have to go easy on him.

- There's a possibility Mel was driving the van 12 years ago...

..when Sian Hinton's body was dumped in the woods.

That's the line of inquiry.

DOOR IS SHUT AND LOCKED

- I want to take you back to your childhood, Mel.

When you were 17.

When you were Robbie Jenkins.

To the time of the Heart Knot murders.

Mari Quinlan and Sian Hinton were strangled.

- It's all my fault.

- What is?

Is that what your dad said?

- Have you talked to him?

- Can we go back to the night the second victim...

..Sian Hinton's body was moved from the bunker and dumped in the woods.

- You said Dad was in prison.

You said Dad was in prison. - He is, Mel.

- He wanted me to visit...

..but...

..I couldn't face him.

- I want you to hear what you've told us in your statement...

..about the night Sian Hinton's body was moved.

- "I went to my bedroom early, got into bed."

"I'd been having nightmares...

"..so my mum sang to me outside the door all night.

"She couldn't come in...

"..because Dad said I wasn't a child, I was a young man."

- Old enough to join the army, old enough to kill. Bang, bang!

- He's lost the plot.

- But you weren't in the bedroom in the attic, were you, Mel?

You were downstairs.

In the boxroom.

- The hole.

- Must have been scary. Locked in like that.

There was a window in the boxroom, wasn't there?

- He's scared.

He's scared. - Are you OK, Mel?

- Did you go out of the window, Mel?

Did you drive your dad's van?

- A demon shot my friend.

Should be me dead on the floor with half a face.

Can you smell burning?

- Did you go to the bunker and move Sian Hinton's body?

- There was death everywhere.

Who told you about the bunker?

- He's all over the place.

- You just need to keep him focussed on the historic timeline.

What does he know about the bunker in Cleddau Woods?

- Easier said than done, Boss.

- I trust we're concentrating on the case in hand?

The suspect seems confused enough as it is.

- When did you see the dead bodies in the bunker, Mel?

- I'm not well.

I see stuff.

- Did your dad take you to the bunker in the woods?

- He's here, isn't he?

You're talking to him.

In the gaps.

- Can you describe the bodies?

Can you describe the bodies? - Where is he?

- Is this one of them?

- Nurses want to hurt us.

- Was this the one in the bunker?

- Stop showing them to me! They're not angels, they're demons!

- Is that why they had to be killed?

- I know you're watching me, Dad!

- Is any of this admissible?

- The past is triggering too many memories for him.

We should put a stop to this.

What do you want me to say, Dad?

She stuck her nose in, then she must have as well!

Then her!

I only tried to talk to her.

She didn't want to know.

Turned her nose up.

- So they did meet.

- What happened then, Mel?

- Can't remember.

Rick, go make the arrest.

Rick, go make the arrest. - My pleasure.

- Good work, Ffion.

Good work, Ffion. - Yes, but, Sir...!

- No "buts".

Mel will be locked up for long time. Harvey's conviction is safe.

So climb out of that rabbit hole and bugger off to the pub.

That's an order.

Erm, yeah. I can do that.

OK. Thanks for getting in touch.

- What?

- Well, can I trust you?

- Don't be like that. You know you can. What is it?

- That was Harvey's solicitor.

Harvey has asked to talk to me tomorrow.

He wants to tell the truth about the past.

I'm going to drive up there tonight.

- What about Vaughan?

- He told me to go to the pub.

Just not one 150 miles away.

- OK. I'm coming with you.

- You're not interested in the past.

- Ffion, we worked our arses off to put Harvey away.

If he wants to talk...

..I want to hear what he has to say.

- OK. Fine.

But you can drive.

- You sure you're OK with this?

- It's not the best timing.

- No.

- But it's work, it's Paul Harvey. It must be important.

- Believe me, Ffion can manage.

- No, I don't want you sidelined at work.

- OK.

- It's Ffion I feel sorry for.

Three and half hours in the car with your grumpy face.

- Hey!

- Get out!

I'll call the police!

- Dad?

Dad? - Get away from me! Fuck off!

- What's wrong?

What's wrong? - Delyth!

Don't touch me! He broke in!

He pushed me!

He pushed me! - I was trying to hold him back.

- OK, Dad. This is Jamie. We know him.

- I don't know him. Delyth!

What have you done with my wife? If you've hurt her...!

- OK. Dad, Mam works for Citizen's Advice.

Remember?

Jamie is your carer.

Give me the poker.

Sit down.

- I don't need a carer.

- You want me to wait until Mam comes home?

- No, it's fine. We both understand each other.

Here you go. Pyjamas.

Here you go. Pyjamas. - Oh! Lifesaver.

- Harvey's summoned us, so I guess we have to let him take the lead.

- He doesn't know Anna's given him an alibi.

I wonder if he'll say more about Mel's whereabouts that night.

- Mel was both terrorized by him and in awe of him.

Classic Stockholm syndrome.

Easy target.

KEYS TURNING IN THE LOCK

Sian Hinton.

The pathologist couldn't give the exact time of death...

..but we know she was kept alive in the bunker.

Maybe Mel did more than just move her body, Rick.

He could have killed her too.

- But he didn't. Harvey did.

- If he did and we missed it...

..Abbi would still be alive.

I wish I was as sure of Harvey's conviction as you are.

- One more.

- My round.

- Griff was one of the best defence lawyers I ever saw in court.

- This morning he was asking where you were.

He still thinks we're engaged.

- Hmm.

He's the father I never had.

I miss him.

- So do I.

He wanted to kill you when you cheated on me though.

- I thought you were cheating on me.

- No. No, Rick.
