Detective Farrow claims he found his wife and younger son murdered.

We have your fingerprints on the knife that killed Abi.

Why don't you just tell me what happened? - I didn't do it!

The husband's one of mine. - Yeah, I know. Let us work.

Ma'am, there's been an accident.

Farrow's escaped.

He's not behaving like a fugitive, he's looking for something.

My family were killed for two computer disks.

Files into the disappearance of Omer Hassan.

Sean? What are you doing with the disks?

I've got one, Sean destroyed the other.

He was working with Topher Lomax, but they weren't in charge.

I dealt with a man named Alex Chambers, he sold me Hassan's identity.

Mac, I need you to find someone for me, Alex Chambers.

I think there's something on those disks that connected Chambers to the murder of Hassan.

I know you're not just running, I know you're not just trying to escape.

Devlin's protecting you. - What, and you trust that snake?

That snake's your best mate.

The only person I trust is Mac, she'll keep the disk safe.

I'll look at the disk, but I can't let you go. - Then I'm sorry.

Sue?

Susan Reinhardt?

How many Sues do you think there are out here?

Bastard.

Jesus, Sue. What were you thinking? - Don't start... I'm fine.

Yeah you look it.

You're lucky we're not bagging you up.

Farrow's around here somewhere, I want squad cars out here now.

He's clearly a nutcase. - Is he?

What if he didn't do it, Ash? - He did it. Look at the state of you.

How far would you go to find the people that killed your wife and kid?

Oh, and I need you to PNC a name for me. Alex Chambers. - Ok.

Oh, come on, Ash. - A proper shiner. Let's get you looked at.

Christ! What? What do you want?

You weren't answering your phone. - I told you what to do.

I can't just sit at home with my thumb up my arse, can I?

Alex Chambers. You found him?

Look, it's not as simple as that.

Do you know where he is or don't you? - No, not yet.

Well then, we go and speak to Reinhardt. - No. We won't.

You don't go anywhere near Reinhardt.

Until I find Chambers it's either Farrow or us, right?

You need to do something.

Well, you need to buck up.

You can't be coming round here, all pissed up. You're not a kid.

Now, I swear to you, Sean, I just need some more time.

Chambers could bring us all down. You have to trust me.

Now, promise me you won't talk to anyone.

Sue?

Oh my God.

What happened to you?

Come here.

Thanks for coming.

Is there no-one else you could ask?

Who?

I sent Ash home. He gets on my tits.

Forgot I had them.

I'm sorry if I've put you out, or upset the Mrs.

She's got a name, Sue. - Yeah, Elizabeth.

Thin Lizzy.

Sorry, sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I just needed to be with someone that I mattered to.

Susan... we've been through this. - No, not someone that, that loves me.

I'm not that daft.

Doesn't even have to like me. Just someone that I mean something to. As a human being.

I do like you.

You silly cow... Of course I like you.

Come on.

I'll run you home.

You're in early. You've not been signed off?

I needed to think.

Look, I've drawn a blank on this Alex Chambers. Not a dicky bird.

So, I'll just er... - I met Farrow, did I tell you?

A day before he...

Right here, actually. He must have been coming from records.

He lent me a quid for a Mars bar.

Just handed it over, just like that. Didn't think twice about it.

Just like I didn't think twice that he was guilty.

That he'd stabbed his wife to death and left his little lad... broken.

Come on, it all still points to Farrow. He didn't have a key, there was no sign of forced entry.

All these doubts because he gave you a quid?

Maybe it's that simple.

But we follow the evidence, not feelings. And ten times out of ten, we're bang on.

These guys are not that bright. - Farrow is.

Coppers make the worst killers. You know that. - Oh, my God, Ash. I told him his little boy was dead.

Reinhardt. - Mackenzie's just arrived.

Susan!

Thank god you're alright. - It's fine. It's not that bad.

I can't believe that Farrow did...

I'm sorry. - Don't be. It's not your fault.

I'm just trying to pull everything together in my head. What did he tell you?

Well he spoke... a lot. But nothing that made much sense.

If I'm honest, he... - Excuse me, can I have the sauce, please?

Thanks, are you ok? - I'm fine.

He frightened me.

Threatened you? - No, no, no, nothing like that.

It was like Jekyll and Hyde.

I mean, what if he really is ill?

None of us wanted to believe that he could actually do it but...

He said he gave you a disk. The case files into the Hassan disappearance.

No, he didn't give me any disc or any CDs.

I... I just feel like it's my fault.

I knew that breaking up from Abi really hit him hard, you know?

Not seeing his boys.

Maybe I should have seen it coming.

Look, Susan, he's out there alone, and he's unstable.

You have to find him, before he does something else stupid.

Thanks, Mac. - Ok.

They weren't CDs, the case files, they were those old floppy disks.

Right.

Dad? - Hey.

Are you coming home?

I can't, kidda, I can't, but I will be able to soon, I promise you. Ok?

Oh Finn, come on.

Finn, I haven't got long.

Finn.

I can't remember their voices, dad.

Mum and Max.

Finn, Finn, listen to me, you remember that video we posted for Livy?

Where, in Wales? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got it. - Ok.

There we are, running around.

Now we're spelling Livy, I didn't even want to be the 'V'.

Yeah, that was us, Finn.

Yeah. - That's us.

Finn, I've got to go. - No, Dad, don't go.

I love you. Never forget that, ok? I love you.

Hello? - It's me.

Did you look at the disk?

There was no disk.

Wait, what did you say?

Look, you're not well, Marcus. You're not thinking straight.

There is no disk.

What have you done?

Was that you?

Were you at my house? Did you go to the crime scene?

My keys vanished from the house, did you take them?

It was you, you, you've set me up!

You, Devlin and Lomax, you're all working for Alex Chambers

Prove it.

Christ, Devlin. Late night? - What do you want?

Sean.

You alright?

Right, so what have we missed?

Farrow swore he let himself in, so the killer had been and gone. How?

Sean, come on. What's off? What's out of place? You know, wrong?

All the doors and windows were deadlocked.

Was Abi security conscious? Did she have a key under a stone somewhere?

No. She was a copper's wife.

Come on, Sean. While you're still sober, prove to me Farrow didn't do it.

It rained last night.

Are you sure this wasn't there before?

Hello, Sean.

Surprise, surprise.

Marcus.

You look like I feel.

You shouldn't be here.

Me and you need to have a talk, Sean. - Can you just give me a minute.

I'm not well.

I've not got a minute, mate.

Come on. Now, I know Mac is involved in this and I wanna know why.

Better? - Yeah.

What do you want?

You may not have killed my family, Sean, but you know who did.

Who is Alex Chambers?

I don't know. I never met him.

I swear to God.

Have you got any idea what you've done to me? To my life.

Do you want to hit me? Go on.

She wasn't dead, you know. Did they tell you that? When I found her.

Just hit me, I won't stop you.

It was only seconds... But she fought it, Sean. She fought.

Hit me!

Now she's gone.

I was in the water.

I was in the stream in front of the house.

It's just... I'm thinking, she'll be cross... because I've ruined this suit...

She'll be cross about that.

Marcus. Don't... - She'd gone, Sean.

They've both gone. I should really be with Finn.

But they won't let me be with him.

They'll put me in prison.

You know what the worst thing is, the worst thing is

the worst thing is, he'll think I did it!

He will think I did it!

His mum and his brother.

Marcus...

Mac knew Chambers, I never met him.

He was blackmailing her. That's all I know.

Why are you protecting Chambers?

I wasn't protecting Chambers. I was helping Mac.

And that is all I ever wanted to do, was just to help Mac.

Chambers didn't kill Hassan.

Mac did.

She'd gone undercover as a buyer. It was her first big job.

Hassan rumbled her.

Mac was the copper in the files?

You know, he kicked the shit out of her.

I mean, he really went to town on her. She almost died.

So why not arrest him? - We did.

But we messed up, Marcus.

We didn't have a case. CPS wouldn't touch it.

So the case was buried.

She waited for Hassan one night and caved his head in.

Lomax saw the whole thing and blackmailed her.

How could you not tell me this?

How could I? Eh?

Lomax and Chambers, they got rid of the body.

They took over Hassan's business and trusted that we turned a blind eye.

Mac never knew where they took the body, until you ID-ed him on the moor.

Who is Chambers?

I don't know, but even Lomax is scared of him, he pulls all the strings.

Marcus.

I told Mac that you'd left the disks at Abi's.

It was Chambers that organised the burglary.

Sean, don't think this changes anything.

I need your car, and a phone. And I want Lomax's address.

If you can't give me Chambers, he will.

Hello? - Ma'am, I've got Sean Devlin here to see you.

Ok, ok, send him up.

Sean.

I think it's about time we got this sorted out. Don't you?

I've just seen Marcus.

What you got?

The hook your laddo used to get into Abi Farrow's house, the coat hanger...

Scrote called Dale Lomax. Pulled twice for the same gig last year.

OK. So, what's the connection? - Look at the address.

Where Dale Lomax lives.

Farrow and Devlin were scrapping on his doorstep.

Right, ok, come on. Mark, on your feet, I need you now.

Jen, let me know if there's any sightings of Farrow.

You don't want to help Marcus, do you? - Of course I want to help Marcus.

And I will help him. But I'm not in control here.

No, you know I spoke to Reinhardt.

You know I went to Abi's house with her.

She's getting closer to the truth, so's Marcus, they both are.

Fuck!

Why couldn't you trust me? Eh, eh?

Does Farrow know everything?

Does he? You're a sanctimonious shit. - No, no just piss off!

Does he know what you did? Does he? - No, of course he doesn't.

No, of course he doesn't.

Can't you understand what I am trying to do? I'm trying to save us.

It's not worth it.

What you saying, Sean, eh?

We should have told the truth from the start. That's what we should have done!

I'm going to go and speak to Warner. That is what I'm going to do. No, that's -

Wait. Just wait.

Ok, alright, you're right. You're right.

We still have to find Chambers. Look, this is the only way we can help Marcus.

Look, if I haven't got Chambers by tonight, we'll do it your way.

We'll do the right thing? - Yeah.

Police, entering the premises!

Dale Lomax, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Abigail Farrow and Max Farrow.

You killed my wife and son.

No-one was supposed to die.

Chambers wanted the disks. They connected us to Hassan.

Don't ask me who did the job.

He sent some kid.

It went tits up. That's it.

Where is Chambers?

You don't know anything.

I know one thing.

You're not dead yet.

Now, you might want to have a little think about that.

What do you think you can do to me? I'll go, right now. Happily.

One chance.

Where's Alex Chambers? - Piss off!

Oh no you don't.

I know you know where he is.

And you should talk.

Devlin's gone, he's finished. He's probably spilling his guts right now.

You trust Devlin? After all he's done. After what he did to you?

What?

You don't know, do you? You don't know...

Seen that bloke? Is he a bailiff?

I dunno. - He looks familiar.

Alex Chambers.

It's a woman.

Yeah, I've just seen that Marcus Farrow. Yeah, I've seen him clear as day.

Lomax?

Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, shit.

Hello, police.

Hello?

Hello, anyone in?

I'm going upstairs. - Alright, but no TV.

Ok? If you're ill go to bed.

Mum!

Max, I'm not having a shouting match with you, come down here and speak to me.

Max, if you want to talk to me, come down here, I'm busy.

Max.

No, no, get away from me!

No, no no, hang on. - Get away from me!

Stay away! Stay away!

Get away from me!

Alright.

I'll admit I was there.

Dale... - No, it's right.

I was robbing the place. I'll admit that too.

Come on, Dale.

This woman comes home with a lad, and I'm upstairs.

So I hid, right.

And then I heard this banging and shouting

It turns out it was your lad, off the news.

Your copper. - Farrow?

Farrow, yeah.

He comes in.

He and his Mrs get to it, pretty bad, you know, like rowing, shouting, arguing.

He's saying he wants the lad to come home with him.

But, er, the kid ran off

and Farrow tried to grab him.

And the lad slipped

and he, er, he fell on the stairs.

It was an accident...

Go on, Dale.

She goes bananas. He grabs a knife...

Interview concluded at 18.10.

Find Warner.

He claims he's a witness, said he heard Farrow kill Abi.

Ma'am. - What?

We've found Dale's uncle. He's dead. We've a witness. A neighbour.

He says he saw Farrow leaving the address minutes before the body was found.

Ash!

Yeah? - Dale goes nowhere, Farrow's killed Topher Lomax, damn it Ash, he's finished.

Hello Marcus. - We need to meet.

Asphyxiation.

Ma'am? Ma'am? Warner wants a word.

Right, we're up shit creek if Farrow starts knocking them off now, aren't we?

I know. - Why's he killed Dale's uncle? - I've... honestly no idea.

Can you take a message? - I mean, is this turning into some sort of spree?

Hello? I'm afraid she's in a meeting.

Ma'am, he says it's important. - Just take a message!

I think we need to regroup.

I think we need to weigh up exactly where we are. - No, sir.

That won't be necessary. - It's not good enough, Sue.

We need to put a fresh pair of eyes on it. - No, sir, I know it doesn't seem like it

but we have covered real ground.

I'm sorry, Susan. This is my fault. - I'm convinced that we're getting...

I shouldn't have put you under the spotlight, it's not fair, you weren't ready.

Ma'am. He said you owe him a pound.

What did he say. Exactly?

He said he's going to catch the snake. - Snake?

Susan, I want your team back at Longsight immediately, understood?

Sorry, Sue.

Up here.

He's like a kid.

D'you think he ever grew up?

Where is he?

Alexandra Chambers never existed.

Alex. Alexandra.

It was just a name we invented the night that Hassan was killed.

Someone to hide behind.

I think Lomax kept the name alive just to spite me.

It took on a life of its own.

I'm sorry Marcus, you've been chasing your tail.

I just needed time.

That's all. - To do what?

I'd have thought of something.

I am sorry.

But I had no choice. - Don't you dare fucking say that to me.

I was not going down for Hassan.

For what that animal did.

I couldn't move for weeks.

You can't know how that feels. Being certain you're about to die.

If I could make you understand... - Did Lomax understand?

If anyone understood we wouldn't be standing here. - Jesus Christ.

Things went wrong.

Fuck you.

I hate this.

You should have trusted me. You trusted Devlin.

Devlin...

Sean! Come down.

He should have been there the night that Hassan attacked me.

It was on the case files, where he was.

She wanted to see you first.

Not just where he was, but who he was with. - I'll tell him.

The two of you had split up. You were always splitting up.

You were with Abi? - I really wanted you to hear this from me.

We just needed the disks, just to cover our tracks. How could we know what would go on?

Shut up.

Tell him how long ago it was. - Mac! - Shut the fuck up!

About ten years. Give or take nine months. - Max...

Everything he's told you is a lie, Marcus.

He was sleeping with your wife, he is Max's father.

No, she's lying, Marcus, don't listen to her.

He wanted to save face. - I made mistakes.

He didn't want you to hate him... - Bad mistakes. Nobody regrets it more than me.

And your family died.

No, no, no. You're like my brother. I loved Max and I loved Abi.

He said he wanted to take care of Finn, look after him, if anything happened to you.

No, no, no, she's lying. - No, no!

No.

Max was mine. Max was mine.

No. I'm not you.

I'm so sorry, Marcus.

You killed him. - No, I didn't... You did.

It's your prints.

Lomax and Devlin.

The two men you blamed for the death of your family.

Look, there was no choice.

You made me do this. Don't you judge me. Who the fuck are you?

Goodbye, Marcus.

Susan!

Thank god.

Farrow, he's here.

He killed Devlin. His prints are on... - Andrea, don't...

Just don't.

I heard you.

Is that it?

Is that your answer? Another murder?

They heard it all.

It's over.

This isn't... fair.
