- Mel suffers from PTSD...

..after an army tour of Afghanistan in 2013.

- SCREAMS

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

He was sleeping in a box room - with a window.

- I can't be sure of what I saw that night.

- Don't for one second think we got the wrong man.

When you go over my head and shut me out, it feels you don't trust me.

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

- Rick, arrest him.

Rick, arrest him. - With pleasure.

- Harvey wants to see me tomorrow...

..to tell the truth about the past.

..to tell the truth about the past. - I'll come with you.

- Classic Stockholm syndrome. He terrified him, yet he admired him.

- This is Rick. Leave a message.

This is Rick. Leave a message. - Haia, Rick.

- I missed you.

- I hope you arrived safely.

Phone me back.

It's a loop.

A never-ending circle of love.

You can't escape it.

- ALARM

Everything OK?

Yes.

OK. Thanks for letting me know.

Suicide.

- DAY 6

DOOR OPENS

- I'm sorry, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding.

I said I'd talk to Ffion not you.

The organ grinder, so to speak.

- Well, the thing is, you don't get to call the shots.

Do you, Paul?

- Then I won't talk at all.

Up to you.

- Well, this is a waste of time.

Coming?

- I won't be long.

KNOCK ON DOOR

DOOR CLOSES

KEY TURNS IN LOCK

- That's better.

Just the two of us.

You're not wearing a wedding ring.

The monkey was.

What's the story?

Last I heard, you were heading off into the sunset together.

- What is it that you want to talk about, Paul?

- You're looking good, Ffion - if a little tired.

- I'm not here to talk about myself.

I'm not here to talk about myself. - Oh, please.

I am so starved of gossip in here.

Why are you so cagey about your private life?

- If you don't get to the point, I'll be heading out myself.

- No, please don't go.

It's been too long.

- Then I'll ask again.

Why are you getting in touch after all this time?

- I want to talk about the night...

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

- RICK'S MOBILE VIBRATES

- Hey, love. I was going to call.

- Why didn't you answer your phone?

- We were... strategizing.

- That's one word for it.

- I was in the bar, it got late. I didn't see your messages.

Sorry.

- Fuck off, Rick.

- As I told you...

..I'd been home that night.

I'd been interviewed by you and your fiance earlier that morning.

- DS Sheldon.

- Which put me in a bad mood.

When I went home, Robbie was being a nightmare.

I ended up locking him in a room...

..but it wasn't his bedroom, it was a box room downstairs.

- Why?

- Why?

Well, I wanted some peace.

Do you have kids, Ffion?

Hmm. No, I thought not.

You have this defensive edge about you.

Kids - they teach you how to love.

- We asked you about Mary Quinlan.

The nurse reported you to social services...

..because multiple bruises were found on Mel, Robbie's body...

..and he had broken ribs.

..and he had broken ribs. - Robbie was accident prone.

He wasn't alone in this room.

Anna sang to him from outside the door all night.

Like a cat wailing, bless her.

I had to wear headphones to watch TV.

So, neither of us...

..would've known if he snuck out.

He had keys to my van...

..which he carried with him all the time.

- The way I see it is, sir...

..suicide's a sign he's guilty.

Once the publicity dies down we can all move on.

Thanks.

How's it going?

- The scarf's in forensics, sir.

- Good. I hope we get the right result.

Where are Ffion and Rick?

- Can't help thinking about the timing.

How convenient it is with Abbie Rayner's murder.

Why would you tell me this about Robbie now?

- It's because of Abbie Rayner's murder I felt obliged to come clean!

The guilt I felt.

- But this could've been used 12 years ago in your defence.

- Except my wife stitched me up and it suited you all to believe her.

- And why would she do that?

To escape being abused by you?

- She's still lying then, is she?

As a childless woman, Ffion, you have no idea...

..the lengths a father will go to in order to protect his son.

- Robbie was your foster child.

- All the same - I loved him.

There was nothing I wouldn't do for my boy - nothing.

- What's changed?

Why grass him up now?

- I saw him.

On the news after the shooting.

- Where the hell are you? Ffion's not answering.

- HMP Whitehaven, sir.

We heard about Mel Owen...

..then drove up to make sure Harvey wasn't involved.

- What did you find out?

- Protocols were followed, Mel was kept on the VP wing.

Harvey had no access to him.

- A phone call could establish that.

Did you discuss the past with Harvey, open old wounds?

- No, sir. We're just about to head back.

- Glad to hear.

Any news from the lab?

Any news from the lab? - No, sir.

- Chase it.

- This isn't an official interview.

The investigation hasn't been reopened.

I just wanted to hear you out.

Thank you for giving me your version of events.

- It's the truth, Ffion.

There's more.

When Mari Quinlan came to my house...

..to check on Robbie, she left on foot.

- And you left in your van ten minutes later.

- To get groceries.

To get groceries. - So you said.

- I bought the groceries and half an hour later, I got home...

..and found Robbie in the kitchen, distressed.

Mud on his boots. Incoherent.

- Anna didn't mention that.

Anna didn't mention that. - No, Anna was reading in the bath.

I calmed him down and sent him for a shower.

Now then...

..I can only presume that he went to the woods.

He loved exploring the bunkers.

- You're saying that Robbie followed and strangled Mari Quinlan?

- Mm.

And hid her body in the bunker.

- And you said nothing?

And you said nothing? - Not to Anna, no.

Robbie was the son Anna never had.

- Why would Robbie kill Mari Quinlan?

- Well, he didn't want her to take him away from us.

It's ironic really, isn't it?

How in trying to save his life...

..both nurses signed their own death warrant.

- You're saying that Robbie killed Sian Hinton too?

Did you kill together? Were you a father and son team?

- No.

- KEY TURNS

- Time's up, Rick.

- Hey.

What's wrong?

- He denies killing both nurses.

- He's taking the piss.

- He was quite persuasive.

What if we got the wrong man?

- RADIO ON

- Ffion.

- It should never have happened.

- That's now what I...

No, of course.

I was going to say...

..don't tell Vaughan...

..you talked to Harvey about the case - he'd go ape.

He doesn't want the case reopened any more than me or the town.

Harvey got inside your head. He killed Mari Quinlan and Sian Hinton.

- If Mel Owen killed Abbi, he could have killed before.

- Harvey's pinning it on Mel because he can't be questioned.

Alex saw Harvey driving the van, remember?

- Will you tell Helen what happened?

Will you tell Helen what happened? - No chance!

It's our secret.

Sorry, sir. It's a hell of a trek.

- What's up?

- No trace of Mel's DNA on the scarf.

- He strangled Abbi and took the scarf to the den without a trace of DNA?

- Did he clean it?

Did he clean it? - No, Abbi's DNA is on it.

- And another person's.

- Helen gave Abbi the scarf.

We need a buccal swab to eliminate her DNA.

- We've got Abbi's murderer - we can be sure of that.

- OK, I'll check Mel's belongings in the den to see if he had gloves.

- I can do that.

- No, it's OK. I'd rather do it.

- I'll swab Helen.

- Life's never bloody simple, is it?

- Alex!

- Put the kettle on.

- Do you have a minute?

- Yeah.

- Thank you.

- Why are you doorstepping me after all this time?

- I'm really sorry, but I'd like to go back over your witness statement...

..from the night Sian's body was moved from the bunker to the woods.

- Why?

- We'll get to that.

You were driving on the main road west of the woods.

What time?

- About 10pm.

- And what did you see?

- I'll tell you what I didn't see.

Any police presence, that's what.

I saw...

..a black Vauxhall Astra van pull out of a side lane in front of me.

The driver looked in my direction.

Sped off ahead of me.

I didn't see the number plate but I called it in.

- Did you see who was driving?

Did you see who was driving? - I said so at the time.

- Well, not straightaway.

- It was Paul Harvey.

- Who you placed at the wheel after his arrest.

- I recognised him at the ID parade, I remembered his face.

- You sure about that?

Alex?

This is important.

We've reason to believe someone else was driving Paul Harvey's van...

..which means he had an accomplice...

..and that person was in on Sian's murder.

- Ffion, any luck?

- PHONE VIBRATES

Sorry.

- Ffion, where are you?

Phone me back.

- Someone who helped kill my wife is still out there?

- Is there any chance that man could've been the driver?

Bear in mind, he was 17 at the time and wearing a baseball cap.

- I recognize him from somewhere.

- He's the gunman from the school.

He's also the man who killed Abbi Rayner.

- Jesus.

- Are you sure it was Harvey at the wheel of his van?

It was dark. Could you have made a mistake?

- It wasn't my idea.

I said I didn't see the driver. I told him.

- Told who, Alex?

Why did you tell us it was Harvey at the wheel?

Did someone put pressure on you to say that?

It's not your fault if you were leaned on when you were vulnerable.

Who told you to say it was Harvey?

Who told you to say it was Harvey? - It was Rick.

He said I had to...

..if I wanted justice for Sian.

- ALEX BREAKS DOWN

- Where have you been?

- We need to talk.

- You're not going to tell Helen, are you?

Ffion?

- Not at the station.

..what happened last night will never happen again.

- Please leave a message after the tone.

- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Apologizing...

..with a picnic for my lovely wife.

Sorry about last night.

C'mon.

You hate fruit.

- You're lucky I'm on a break.

- No luck about it.

I rang ahead and checked.

- Always a smooth operator.

That's what worries me.

You're not forgiven just yet.

Those sandwiches better be M&S.

- Oh.

- I'll take a statement...

..then drive you to hospital.

- Uh...

..I was hoovering.

Who knows who threw it.

Bastards who think the murderer's copying Paul?

Some nutter...

..who thinks Paul's innocent because of the appeal?

Either way, they're coming for me.

I'm always the one who's punished.

And now, Robbie.

Poor thing.

How will he survive in prison?

I read about his arrest online.

What?

What's wrong?

- I'm so sorry, Anna.

Robbie committed suicide last night.

- How?

- He hanged himself.

ANNA SOBS

- My sweet boy.

- Well, that's one way to kill any romance.

I try and try, Rick...

..but I can't help but feel threatened.

- No need.

- You were engaged for God's sake.

You were engaged for God's sake. - But I'm with you.

- You're used to me.

We're 12 years down the line.

I'm not exciting any more.

- You are.

Who wants excitement?

Ffion's not exciting, Helen.

A pain in the arse more like.

I know it's hard, but you have to trust me, OK?

- I know you better than anyone.

Something's on your mind.

Did anything happen between you last night?

- We argued.

She insists someone helped Harvey to kill in the past.

- Rick!

Rick.

- Griff!

Long time no see!

Hi, Rick.

This is Helen.

- Jamie, Griff's friend.

He doesn't like the word 'carer'.

He had an MRI scan and wanted fresh air.

- Horrible things, scanners.

- Lunch with another woman?

- No, Griff. This is Helen, my wife.

No, Griff. This is Helen, my wife. - Does Ffion know?

Do you know they're engaged?

- Sorry. Come on.

Let's go back to the car.

- Cheating bastard!

- C'mon, Griff.

- We can't get away from her, can we?

- How did they let him hang himself?

Did they decide he was guilty and just...

..turned their backs?

- It's more likely he did it out of guilt.

- I still don't believe he killed Abbi Rayner.

Not my Robbie.

- Anna?

The night Mari Quinlan...

..came to your house to see Robbie, Paul said she left on foot.

- Yes.

Then I had a bath and I heard Paul's van leave soon after.

- How long were you in the bath?

- Um...

..an hour or so.

- And when you got out?

- Uh... Paul was back with food.

- And Robbie?

- He was in the shower.

- I talked to Paul this morning.

He told me Robbie had been out in the woods while you had a bath...

..that he had mud on his boots and was angry about something.

- No, no, no.

He's trying to blame it all on my son.

He's lying, Ffion.

Robbie could never have done it - you have to believe me.

- That turned out to be a shit show.

Helen.

I never want to be without you and the kids.

- I'll take the kids to Mum's tonight...

..and cook us a romantic meal.

Take your mind off the shit in work.

- Lovely, thanks.

- We'll get through this together.

- Yes.

- I'll come with you.

- No - you've done enough.

Thanks.

I could have driven myself.

- You're in shock, Anna.

- If Paul gets out...

..he'll come for me.

Promise me his conviction's safe.

- I don't want you to worry, Anna.

He won't get out.

'3pm by the castle'.

- Why here of all places?

- It's where we got engaged...

..where we promised we'd be together forever.

Young fools.

- Not so young.

- Here you are, fucking me over again.

Here you are, fucking me over again. - Is this about last night, Ffion?

I don't want to hurt Helen.

I don't want to hurt Helen. - I know.

Your endless texts say so.

- She's here, my kids are here.

- What if I stay?

What if I don't conveniently disappear like the last time?

What if I think...

..there's unfinished business here?

I'm not talking about you, me and Helen. That's old fucking news.

I'm talking about the Harvey murders.

I know, Rick.

You told Alex to lie, to say Harvey drove the van...

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

- Cell search.

Stand to one side.

- What the fuck were you thinking?!

- That Harvey was the killer...

..and we needed to put him in prison!

- If we'd found out Mel was driving...

..Abbi would still be alive!

..Abbi would still be alive! - Oh, fuck you!

We had to act fast before it happened to another nurse!

- You made your mate lie under oath in court.

You both broke the law!

- Maybe Mel didn't kill Abbi! Don't tell me her blood's on my hands!

- You argue Mel's innocent to clear your conscience!

You're weak...

..and you're a liar.

You act like the local hero, but it's all a sham.

- Are you going to tell Vaughan?

- There's a new development.

Harvey received texts from someone who signed off as 'J'.

J first contacted Harvey via letter about four months ago.

Harvey texted J back - top of the first page.

- 'Thanks for your letter and phone number.

'I appreciate you getting in touch. Paul.'

- J texts to say it's good to hear from him.

Harvey gives a thumbs up.

On October 3rd, J asks if he can visit Harvey.

Harvey replies, 'Let me check my diary.' Smiley face.

I asked the guard to check the visitors' record.

A man by the name John Shaw visited Harvey on October 17th.

That's when the texts turn sinister. Bottom of the page, sir.

- 'The part that excites me the most is the build up.

'Choosing and stalking her, spending time with her, smelling her fear.'

- Oh, what a sicko.

- Harvey didn't react.

Now page 3.

- 'That moment when she surrenders to the idea she won't get out alive.

'I have all the power and her attention.'

- John Shaw asks to see Harvey again.

Harvey says it's not a good idea.

Then, on the next page, November 11th.

- The day after Abbi's murder.

- Yes - Harvey texts John Shaw to say, 'I heard about the nurse'.

John Shaw replies...

..'She deserved it'.

Harvey replies...

..'Don't contact me again'.

John Shaw wishes Harvey luck with the appeal...

..then radio silence from Harvey until today...

..at 11.13.

- 'It's safe now.'

- How is John Shaw safe?

- Is he referring to Mel's death?

If Mel gets charged with Abbi's murder, that John Shaw is safe?

We should be looking at John Shaw!

- Some perverted fanboy? What's the point?

Rick...

..do you have doubts that Mel Owen killed Abbi Rayner?

- This is a man...

..who thinks nothing of shooting a child, sir.

But in this case...

..Mel was drunk.

He was the last man to see Abbi Rayner alive.

She pissed him off.

We found a scarf in his den.

All the evidence...

..points at Mel Owen, doesn't it?

- Exactly.

- Maybe.

I want to talk to John Shaw, in case he follows in Harvey's footsteps.

Celyn, ask Whitehaven if they've got CCTV of the day he visited...

..and check the visiting order address.

- Anything else?

- I've got to go. Keep me updated.

- I can't go to work in my pyjamas.

Why are we having casserole for breakfast?

- For the hell of it, Dad.

- Is it tasty?

Is it tasty? - Yes.

- Shut up and eat.

Shut up and eat. - Better do as I'm told.

- I would if I were you.

- Yours is in the oven, love. We couldn't wait.

- Sorry, I didn't realize the time.

Busy day? You look tired.

- I thought it was all tied up.

That tramp did it, didn't he?

That tramp did it, didn't he? - I wish it was that simple.

- Is Rick with you?

- Oh, my God.

Rick and I broke up 12 years ago!

How many times?!

- Lisa and I went to a dementia workshop today.

- They say it's best not to challenge his version of reality.

- It will only make him more upset.

He's aware he's failing, love...

..and he's a proud man.

- RICK KNOCKS DOOR

- Come in.

- I'm sorry for snapping, Dad.

- He's forgotten about it.

- I don't blame you, Ffion.

I'm no use to anyone any more.

- Yes, you are.

I need you

- I'll leave you to it.

- What's up, love?

Difficult case?

This is nice, Rick.

But I can tell you have something to say.

- The historic case, sir.

I encouraged a witness to give false evidence, sir.

- And now there's a potential new suspect in the mix.

Some fanboy Harvey called John Shaw.

There's some doubt about the historic case...

..whether Harvey acted alone...

..or killed the nurses at all even.

- We can't afford to fuck-up, Rick.

It would ruin us, and Alex Hinton has already squealed.

- I know. I'm sorry.

- I'll talk to Ffion.

You're one of the best, Rick.

I have no choice...

..but to suspend you from duty.

I need to work out what to do.

- It's like my whole world has been thrown upside-down.

I can't even trust my memories any more.

- I know the feeling.

- I made a mistake, Dad.

I slept with Rick.

But I didn't know then what I know now.

- No.

- FFION SOBS

- Hey.

Look at me.

- FFION SOBS

- What are you afraid of, love?

- That someone else dies.

Oh!

- Goodnight, love.

And thanks again.
