Cooper and Fry (2025) s01e04 Episode Script
Episode 4
DIANE: I wasn't prying
or snooping around,
but I came across the stuff
you have on your dad's murder case.
BEN: It led nowhere,
so I boxed it all away.
I could take a look. Fresh eyes.
No. No need. I'm done with it, honest.
There were more flowers last year.
Home-grown, they're nice.
Yeah. Someone leaves them every year.
The same flowers, the same message.
- Does this guy have a name?
- It's David.
Every time he texts or calls you,
you freeze,
so you obviously don't wanna see him.
You need to do the right thing
and report him.
BIRDSONG
So much litter!
Idiots.
They have no respect for the nature.
DOOR OPENS
MAN: Huh.
CRIES OU
Oh!
GASPING
PANTING
RINGING TONE
- Emergency services.
- Operator.
What is the nature of your emergency?
Yes. There's a dead woman
dancing in the circle.
Yeah.
A dead woman
dancing
..in the Nine Virgins.
KNOCKING
Are you up?
Yeah, but I'm getting changed.
Right, well, hurry up,
and bring your boots
cos a woman's been found dead
on Ringham Edge.
Go on, I know you're dying
to tell me what this is about.
Well, each ribbon represents a wish.
Wow! What if I tied a ribbon or ten?
Could I get rid of my ex?
What, has he been back in contact?
No, but I can't help shaking
the feeling that he's closing in.
I feel like I see him everywhere.
Go on, tell me it's all in my head.
I don't think you're the type
to imagine things, are you?
You know, Ben,
you're allowed to lie sometimes.
OK, it's all in your imagination, Diane.
- That is much better, thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Sarge.
- All right.
Hope you brought your crucifixes.
It's weird as hell in here.
Excuse me! That path is closed.
And I know you saw the sign.
Go on, turn around.
She's so young.
Her ID was in her jacket with her phone.
Jenny Westlake.
She's a local. Thought so.
Do you know her?
No, but I've seen her face around town.
- Time of death?
- You know what I'm gonna say.
She's been out here all night,
there's too many variables,
- so don't quote you, yeah?
- Spot on.
So, on that basis, a very rough estimate
based on core temperature,
corneal opacity and rigor mortis,
I'd say eight to ten hours.
Around midnight, then.
- See the bruising and the abrasions?
- Yeah.
Hm. Strangulation.
Yeah. I'll have to find
the hyoid bone fractures to confirm,
but it looks like someone used
a wide strap of some sort
to strangle her. Huge force.
It's left the imprint of the weave.
And she was killed here?
Mud on her boots
are consistent with the path,
and I'd say lividity will confirm
that she died right here.
This posing looks deliberate.
Right in the middle of the Nine Virgins.
I'd say it's the killer
making a statement.
Strangling's an act of rage, though.
It's a loss of control.
Hm. But the posing suggests
planning and control.
It's inconsistent.
What do you think that suggests?
Thank you, Doctor.
What the hell is that?
Are you the ranger, Ravi Patel?
- Hm.
- Yeah?
DC Ben Cooper. Are we OK to have a chat?
Hm.
Can we ask what were you
doing here this morning
when she was found?
Collecting rubbish, of course.
People drop litter like it's nothing,
but it's poison for the wildlife.
Right. Well, can you tell us
what you saw, please?
A dead woman dancing.
What do you mean, dancing?
Like the nine virgins, you know?
The ones who were killed
for dancing on the Sabbath
and turned to stone.
OK. Ah.
Had you seen her before, this woman?
Every Sunday at sundown.
- On her own?
- I never saw her with anyone.
Do you have any idea why she'd be
up here on her own in the dark?
The stones, they draw all sorts,
you know?
People who want a baby or a promotion
or even a
even a winning lottery ticket.
HE CHUCKLES
They make their offerings on the Sabbath,
thinking that the virgins
will grant their wish.
HE INHALES
Right, you seem pretty connected
to this place.
Thank you. I am.
- Do you mind people coming here?
- It's not mine to say so.
If Warren Leach wants them
traipsing all over, it's up to him.
Why would he have a say?
Isn't it a national park?
Oh, it's Leach's land.
It has been for 500 years.
There's an access agreement
that allows people
to visit the Nine Virgins.
- Guys, let me take the lead, all right?
- Uh?
The Leach family have been here
several hundred years.
They'll be offended if anyone less
than a sergeant deals with 'em.
Fair enough.
What's with the cameras?
Can't imagine protection,
cos it looks like a dump.
Farmers, they're paranoid.
It's the Wild West out here.
What happened here, then? Look at that.
Looks like there was a fire.
Well, it certainly adds
to the overall ambience
of dereliction and decay, doesn't it?
Guys, can we focus, yeah?
It's not an episode of Countryfile.
It's a working farm.
It doesn't have to be picture-perfect.
There's someone there.
Hello!
Erm
Police. Could we have a chat?
You all right?
We'd be quick.
Yvonne!
Get back inside the house, now!
Jesus!
What are you doing on my land?
Detective Constable Fry,
and this is my colleague.
We don't speak to cops on this farm.
Well, a young lady has lost her life.
Well, that's not my affair.
Yeah, well, it is
when it's on your property, sir.
BARKING
I want you off my farm.
I give you fair warning.
Leave now, or I'll set the dog on you.
Mr Leach.
Hi. Detective Sergeant Todd Eland. Er
Listen, I am sorry for disturbing you,
but there's been an incident
at the Nine Virgins.
It won't take much of your time,
all right?
- All right. Thanks for your time, all right?
- Right.
Who would have thought
Eland had any diplomacy in him?
- Come on.
- Yeah, he's full of surprises.
You know what, I think
the wife would have spoke to us.
- Until he yelled at her, you mean.
- Yeah.
- Yes, Sarge.
- Yeah. I wouldn't talk to him again.
He's the type to file a complaint
just to make your life a misery.
What about Jenny Westlake?
Did he see her last night?
No, not a thing.
I'm starting to think
she never made it up this far.
So, victim's name's Jenny Westlake.
29 years of age.
Her parents have
positively identified the body,
and the postmortem reveals
that it was death by asphyxiation.
There's no sign of sexual assault,
though there are fingerprints
all over her boots
which might possibly have been
the killer's.
Digital forensics are
working on her phone at the moment.
We should hear from them ASAP.
Doorbell camera footage from her street
is being collated as we speak.
She was found with her bank cards,
her phone and her car keys,
so we can rule out robbery.
So, what else have we got?
CCTV footage from the Peak Ranger's hut
shows that she arrived alone at 6pm.
Now, she would do this
every Sunday for months.
So what we need is
a detailed description
of her movements up to that.
So, all those cars parked
at the ranger's hut,
all the people who rented bikes
need to be traced.
We wanna find out who saw her
or who was with her.
Her body was discovered
by Ravi Patel, the ranger.
What do you make of him?
Well, he wasn't upset to find
a dead body, put it that way.
He was more bothered about the littering.
He assumed Jenny Westlake
was leaving offerings
for the Nine Virgins.
Apparently, it's quite
a popular spot for making wishes.
We've collected flowers and crystals
from the scene.
Every Sunday, apparently,
Ravi clears them all up,
so what we've picked up
should be fairly recent.
Might be able to show us summat.
Yeah, and we think the killer might
have left one of those offerings,
so we've sent it off for DNA,
fingerprints.
Or Jenny was the offering.
You know, like a blood sacrifice.
Are you being serious?
I never joke about Satanism, Tracy.
This photo is
of Jenny Westlake's husband,
who was a man called Martin Scargill.
Her parents weren't keen.
They said the divorce was nasty.
- Wasn't he a journalist?
- Do you know him?
Not really, but, erm, I remember
he used to work at the local paper.
But he hasn't been on the scene
for a while.
I assume he lost his job
because of cutbacks.
Well, her parents said he was freelance
and he moved around Derbyshire
quite a lot,
so shouldn't be too hard to find him.
Yeah, yeah, I'll give it a go.
I love your Satanist theory.
But it's always the ex-husband.
Posing a body's a risky thing, yeah?
Yeah, you might be seen,
or leave forensics behind.
Exactly.
So the posing is important.
I mean, important enough
to stay and risk being caught.
Which means he thought about it.
Fantasised about it, planned it.
I mean,
maybe even attempted it bef
Bingo.
Oh, yeah.
KNOCKING
- Yeah?
- Do you have a minute, sir?
Yeah.
Erm
About six weeks ago,
a woman called Maggie Crew
was attacked around a mile
from where we found Jenny Westlake.
Oh, yeah, Todd took the statement,
if I remember right.
Yeah, I mean, that's her whole statement.
It's a bit sparse, isn't it?
Well, to be fair,
she was knocked unconscious.
She didn't remember much.
Two women were attacked in the same area
within a few weeks of each other.
It deserves a closer look,
don't you think?
Maggie Crew wasn't posed.
And she wasn't dead either, so
well, maybe something spooked him
and he ran off.
And you think he tried again
with Jenny Westlake?
Yeah.
And if the two are linked,
what's the connection?
This statement is embarrassing.
What was Eland thinking?
Must have been having a day off
or summat.
Or hungover, knowing him.
Right.
Maggie Crew was found here.
Right.
And Jenny Westlake was found there.
That is a great catch
if they are connected.
Thanks.
Let me get Maggie's address up.
Joe Cooper here.
EXHALES
- What does she do for a living?
- Erm Divorce lawyer.
- Ah.
- Yeah.
We were hoping you might remember
more about what happened.
I already told your colleague everything,
which is to say, nothing.
I don't recall that night at all.
Your memories'll still be there.
It's just, erm
After such a traumatic event,
your brain's trying to prevent you
from accessing.
I know, I know.
It's a glitch to protect me.
They explained it in the hospital.
I might be able to access those memories
if I expose myself to some triggers,
but there's no guarantee.
We don't wanna traumatise you any more,
but the person who did this to you,
well, shouldn't get away with it.
I know that something awful
happened that night,
but it's like I wasn't there,
and I'm fine with that.
I don't want to remember.
I'm sorry, I have to ask you,
do you know a Jenny Westlake,
29 years old?
No.
Why?
She was attacked
in the same area last night.
Why are you talking to me, then?
Go talk to her.
She didn't survive.
Maybe you might recognise her.
That's Jenny Scargill!
Scargill, not Westlake.
How do you know her, Maggie?
I handled her divorce.
Did Martin do this?
Did he kill her?
It's a possibility
we have to explore, yeah.
Well, he attacked me, too.
I mean, am I safe?
Is he gonna come back?
It's just a possibility at this
stage, nothing's been confirmed.
EXHALES SHARPLY
You telling me, Diane,
you don't know how to blind copy?
- That's ridiculous.
- I didn't say that.
Aye-aye.
- What's all that about, then?
- Probably owes him money.
What?
Well, I lent him a tenner last week.
Ah-ha, you got no chance
of seeing that again.
INDISTINC
So, I called Martin Scargill,
like, a hundred times.
- Hm?
- Left messages, nothing.
Then, I get word that he gets done
at the Quiet Shepherd.
What, arrested?
Yeah. Drunk and disorderly.
So, I give the custody sergeant a call,
and he says that he's covered
in scratches and bruises.
Yeah, you can see it
on his hands and neck.
- From fighting Jenny off?
- Yeah, that's what I thought.
- Could be.
- Is he fit for interview?
Well, he's had a go
at pretending he was unconscious,
but, er yeah, he's fooling no-one.
Yeah, that old chestnut. Thanks, Trace.
Yeah.
It's a lot of palaver
over a fistfight, isn't it?
We'd like your help
with another unconnected matter
relating to your ex-wife.
When did you last see Jenny?
It's been Must be going on a year now.
Since your divorce, then?
Yeah. Why?
Did you part on good terms?
SCOFFS: No.
But we were divorcing, so it's bound
to be a bit fraught, isn't it?
Is it right that you didn't like
her lawyer, Maggie Crewe?
That's like asking me
if I liked my root canal.
All she did was cause me pain.
And when did you last see Maggie?
No idea.
Sorry, but why are you asking me
about my bloody divorce?
Jenny Westlake was found dead
at the Nine Virgins on Ringham Edge.
No!
What?
You're joking.
What happened? W?
Did she have an accident or?
We're investigating the
circumstances surrounding her death.
Jenny was murdered?
Are all your injuries
from the fight last night?
Cos some of 'em look a little older.
Yeah.
No. I
Wait.
No, no, no, no, no.
I would never hurt Jenny.
Where did the scratches
come from, Martin?
I was I found an injured cat, OK?
And I just
I found an injured cat.
I just wanted to wrap him up in
a towel, bring him to the vet, OK?
He looked like he'd been
attacked by a fox or something,
so I just tried to wrap him up,
put him in a towel,
bring him to the vets,
and he tore me up, OK?
What, so you're a big animal lover,
are you?
No, but, you know, I couldn't
leave him to die, you know?
I just
I'm not a monster.
Maggie Crew said that Scargill felt
very hard done by by their divorce.
She reckons he blamed her
for his financial hardship.
But she told me he was a gambler.
Now, I checked this
with Trevor down at the bookies,
and apparently, he's confirmed it.
He was in there most days,
and he reckons Scargill's losses
paid for his trip to the Maldives.
Sorry to interrupt, but we need
to go to the Nine Virgins now.
- Ravi Patel was just spotted there.
- OK.
See you in a bit.
BIRDSONG
Ravi, we need to talk.
Your fingerprints are on Jenny's boots.
- You have no power to be here!
- Hey!
- Ravi!
- Inside the sacred space!
Watch it. Keep your distance, right?
- Your law has no power over the old gods!
- Mr Patel!
Right, you're coming with us.
You're under arrest.
- Get out of here!
- Turn round!
- Give me your hands!
- Get out of here!
- Ravi, just calm down.
- The Virgins will be upset.
- Mr Patel!
- Get out of here now!
I'm upset, mate. Come on.
- Get out!
- Let's go.
You found Jenny Westlake's
dead body, and you weren't upset.
I find that strange, no?
I'm used to it.
Walkers die from falls.
They die from exposure,
from heart attack and strokes.
They fall into the water and drown.
There's not much I haven't seen.
Even murder?
Death is death.
See, I find there's
a world of a difference
between someone's nan having a stroke
and the brutal murder of a young woman.
CHUCKLES LIGHTLY
Not to the stones.
Let's talk about today, Ravi.
What was all that about?
You wouldn't understand.
Well, maybe we would if you, er
if you explained it to us.
RAVI EXHALES
When blood is spilled in the circle
..it unleashes tremendous power.
Your ancestors knew this
..but the Church was threatened by it.
The practice was stamped out
and eventually forgotten.
So now you have no knowledge
of the incredible powers
that lie in the land beneath your feet.
What does this power do?
Whatever you want.
So long as you're there to receive it.
And that's what you were doing, right?
You were receiving the power, yeah?
Absolutely.
It was a unique opportunity.
Was killing Jenny Westlake
a unique opportunity?
No, I didn't kill her.
Oh. All right, well,
maybe you could explain to us
why we found your fingerprints
all over her boots.
Oh!
That's easy.
I made her dance.
You made her dance?
Do you wanna explain
exactly what you mean?
She was lying there,
dead in a heap.
And I thought, "That's no good."
So I
I moved her arms and her legs
and made her dance.
And it was the right thing to do
because the stones came alive.
Ravi Patel sacrificed Jenny Westlake
in order to unleash the power
of the stones.
He almost confessed it.
He didn't confess.
Sorry, Ben.
Were you not there in the room?
He literally said
she were a blood sacrifice.
No, no.
He admitted to finding her dead body
and posing it postmortem.
- Oh, come on!
- Completely different.
He has to say that in order
to account for all the forensics.
All right?
Yeah, but he denied killing her
and he never said the words
"blood sacrifice".
Oh, my God, he did.
Guys! Guys, we're off the clock.
Just eat your pizzas.
I reckon, right,
Maggie Crew were his first victim.
He knocked her out and he wanted to
bring her to the stones to kill her,
but I don't know, he miscalculated
and he did it too fast, so he dumps her.
So, the next time,
he has to wait for his victim
to arrive at the stones.
He knows Jenny is there of a Sunday,
making her wishes, whatever
It's a perfect sacrifice.
OK. Let's get you a warrant
to search Patel's house tomorrow.
Well, I still think Martin Scargill
has the greater motive.
I agree with Ben.
Well, Scargill's drowning in debt.
He's bitter. It's obviously revenge.
Well, Diane,
it's-it's preliminary stages.
No-one's getting charged yet.
All I'm saying is that when someone does,
it'll be Ravi Patel, all right?
DISTANT BARKING
Diane? I was just thinking, erm
EXHALES
What are you doing?
Don't get annoyed.
Look, I know you said it was a dead end,
but I wanted to take a look
with fresh eyes, you know?
Well, I told you,
there's nothing to see, so
You think I haven't tried?
No, I know you have.
You've been kind to me, Ben.
And I guess I just wanted to try
and give you something back,
you know?
You don't need to do that.
No, I know, but I would like
to look at the case in my own time.
And I promise you, I won't
trouble you unless I find summat.
SIGHS
Well, you won't.
But I guess I can't stop you
from trying, can I?
It's a nice thought.
Erm While you are here,
I've been thinking,
should we try and talk to
Yvonne Leach about Martin Scargill?
I mean, the way she looked back at us,
it was like she wanted to talk,
but can't.
OK, so we wait till Warren
takes his cows down for milking
and see if she's more willing
to talk then.
Sounds good.
We can go before searching Ravi's.
Night.
Good night.
BIRDSONG
GASPING
GASPING CONTINUES
Hi, Yvonne. Sorry to drop in unannounced.
We thought
it might be a good time to talk?
Thank you.
Tea?
Oh, no, thanks. We won't keep you long.
The milk yield's down,
so Warren'll be back soon.
He says it's because of
all the disturbance.
He thinks
you should pay him compensation.
Well, we'll be quick.
Did you see Jenny Westlake
go past your house on Sunday?
This is a picture of Jenny.
Well, it's a right of way,
so people are always coming past.
We take no notice of them
as long as they don't bother us.
Oh!
Her parents must be devastated.
They are.
And she was their only child.
I'm sorry. I
Do you recognise this man?
D No.
Like I said,
I take no notice of the walkers.
I noticed a scorched patch on the land.
Can you tell me what happened?
Has someone been burning stuff?
Warren said it was an accident.
OK.
Would have been quite a big fire.
I was asleep, I didn't see anything.
You know what?
Actually, I will take you up
on that offer of a cup of tea.
But you have to do something,
don't you, Ben?
Er Yeah. Yeah. I need
to get in touch with the boss.
I'll meet you back at the car, yeah?
Thank you, Yvonne.
MOOING
PHONE CAMERA CLICKS
Flowers are beautiful.
You've obviously got green fingers.
Oh! Just supermarket seeds.
Nothing special.
I thought they were special.
Special enough that I noticed them
left at the Nine Virgins.
That was you, wasn't it?
SCOFFS
Silly superstition. Must think I'm daft.
You also left flowers at
Joe Cooper's memorial, didn't you?
EXHALES
Joe Cooper was a kind man.
He used to come and check on me.
Because of Warren?
Who checks on you
now that Joe Cooper's passed?
Warren'll be back soon. You should go.
Do you need help, Yvonne?
Because I can get you a safe place.
GASPS
Until he is dead
nowhere is safe.
GUN COCKS
You're trespassing.
No warrant.
No rights.
EXHALES
I'm investigating a murder
that happened on your land,
so that does give me the right.
This is harassment.
Yeah, well, feel free
to lodge a formal complaint.
WARREN CHUCKLES
As the tree, so the fruit.
Hi, Ben.
I wondered where you'd got to.
I was looking for you,
but bumped into Mr Leach here.
Morning, Mr Leach.
Look, erm
Sorry we startled you,
but if you don't wanna talk,
then we'll just go, won't we, Ben?
Yeah.
So this is Ravi's house?
Nice.
You don't think it's weird
that a man who hates littering
chooses to live like this?
Hm.
I mean, maybe it's easier
to control the outside world
than whatever is going on in here.
Hang on a minute.
Aw. Another one.
Like the one we found at the crime scene.
Come on, then.
Do you think Eland is right?
Do you think Ravi Patel killed her
to activate the power of the stones?
Listen, I'm used to people
around here having funny beliefs
and superstitions,
but it doesn't make them dangerous.
Yeah, I know, but you can't deny
the fingerprint evidence
found on the victim's boots, though.
EXHALES
Hey, look at this.
OK, this is the bag that Ravi had on him
when we were speaking to him
for litter picking.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Look at that. OK?
Remember this?
Yeah.
Opportunity, motive
and now
physical evidence.
Why do you have so many?
My mother made them.
You used to live with her?
Yeah.
She fell ill
when I was around 12 years old.
I dedicated my life to caring for her.
Did you ask the Nine Virgins to cure her?
Yeah.
That's how she lived such a long life.
The doctors only gave her a few years,
but she made it to 77
thanks to their blessings.
We found this corn dolly
in the stone circle near Jenny's body.
CHUCKLES
That's right.
Can you tell us what it was doing there?
After my mum passed away,
I've been living on my own.
I'm good at looking after others,
but I'm terrible at looking after myself.
I've been praying to the Virgins
to help me find someone to love,
someone who will care for me.
And when you saw Jenny Westlake
at the Virgins,
did you think she was intended for you?
Hardly.
She was dead.
Did you not see her arrive?
Of course not.
She parked up at sunset.
How do you know that?
Everyone who parks has to fill in
the ledger at the ranger station.
And what did you do after you closed up?
I went home.
Can you prove that?
You can ask at the Palak Palace.
I get my takeaway there.
Same thing every night.
They have it waiting for me.
SHE EXHALES
This is your bag, right?
Can you explain why the straps
on your bag
appear to match the bruising on her neck?
You can't see what's going on, can you?
See what, Ravi?
There's a flat stone
right outside the circle.
Most people miss it,
but that's the Fiddler.
The one who plays the tune.
He's the one you should be looking for.
The one close to the circle
..pulling the strings.
And who is he? Who's this Fiddler?
The devil in your midst.
So, he basically denied everything
until we presented him with the evidence.
And then he blamed the Fiddler.
- You what?
- It's more folklore about the stones.
- He says it's the devil.
- The devil?
Yeah. Apparently, the devil is
planting evidence to fit him up.
I'll give him his credit,
I've never heard that one before.
I'll arrange
for a mental health assessment.
Hey, guys. Your mum called, Ben,
says she has info on Jenny Westlake.
OK.
Sir.
Thank you.
Mum, is this real, actual
information about Jenny Westlake,
or is it from the cards?
Just listen to yourself. So rude.
Jenny were a client.
Lovely girl.
Why did she come to see you?
Oh, boyfriend trouble.
They were arguing a lot.
There was something he wanted her to do,
and she were feeling pressured.
The cards urged her to avoid danger,
so she broke up with him.
Wait. Boyfriend or husband?
I don't know. One or the other.
It were the man in her life,
that's what's important.
So, I pull this spread
when I heard she were murdered.
Your killer is a manipulator,
a gambler,
and a shapeshifter.
He may look like
the life and soul of the party,
but he's full of darkness.
Gambling, eh?
BEN WHISTLES INWARDLY
Oh. We're on.
There he is.
I'm buying.
- No, no.
- MARTIN LAUGHS
BEN: Not exactly
the picture of grief, is he?
It's not a good look,
but tarot cards can't form the basis
of an arrest.
Yeah, well,
you know Jenny didn't get around
to changing her will
after they divorced?
No way.
No, don't tell me
Scargill's a beneficiary.
Yeah.
All right, cool.
I'll meet you there, yeah?
Any news on the strap?
- Lab's still working on it.
- All right.
HE EXHALES: Shall we call it a day?
Get a takeaway.
- Palak Palace.
- Be rude not to.
The bloody strap doesn't match.
- Christ! How?
- Oh, no!
The pattern matched the marks
on her neck.
SIGHS
Similar, but not the same.
As clean as a whistle.
Whatever he strangled her with,
it wasn't that strap.
OK, sir, what's our next step, then?
Well, Ravi Patel has been sectioned,
so that buys us a bit of time.
We could follow up on Martin Scargill.
Why?
Ravi's fingerprints are
on our victim. He's our man.
Well, the Palak Palace said
he picked up his takeaway
at the normal time that evening.
Great, he's got an alibi for 7pm,
not for midnight.
He could have gone home,
had his chicken korma,
and gone back to the Nine Virgins.
Scargill has more of a motive
than Ravi, who was a carer.
I mean, his whole life
was about caring and service.
See if you can place Martin Scargill
at the scene.
Yes, sir.
Bottle of Scotch says you're wrong.
Deal.
Scargill could have killed Jenny
at home, but he didn't.
Why?
Look at her door.
She knew she had to keep him out.
How did he know she was gonna be
at the Nine Virgins, though?
I mean, must have followed her.
Which means somebody must have seen him.
That's true.
Tracy, did the doorbell footage come
back from Jenny Westlake's street?
Yeah, came in about an hour ago.
- You wanna have a look?
- Yeah.
Sarge? Sir?
Come and look at this.
Well, that's not Martin Scargill.
No, and it's not Ravi Patel.
Have you got a name?
Yeah, it's Russell Crew.
Maggie Crew's son, he was in
a relationship with Jenny Westlake.
How the hell did they know each other?
You never mentioned
you had a son, Maggie.
Why would I? I haven't seen him
in over ten years.
He hasn't been in touch?
No texts, emails?
No.
We're estranged.
What has this got to do with Russell?
I thought I was attacked
by Martin Scargill.
Russell was Jenny Westlake's boyfriend.
Russell's back in Edendale?
I had no idea.
Can I ask what happened between you two?
He was always a very sensitive boy.
Very kind.
But he went to uni
and he simply couldn't cope.
He started taking drugs and got very
angry about environmental issues.
He was opposed
to this housing development.
I remember the protests.
It was about saving some oak trees,
wasn't it?
The developer had to remove nine
oak trees to build these houses.
An environmental survey was conducted
and they found that the site
had no special significance,
no rare species, habitats,
or anything like that.
And Russell didn't agree with that?
No, no. He was furious.
He said that chopping down oaks
to build Oak Ridge was obscene.
He sent bomb threats
..and envelopes full of powder,
claiming it was anthrax.
He was out of control.
What's happened to him?
Some policemen from Counter Terrorism
came looking for him.
Even though all he'd ever sent
was baby powder.
And he vanished.
He dropped out of uni
and cut all contact with me.
This might be a difficult question,
Maggie.
You don't think it was possible
that it could have been Russell
who attacked you?
It can't be a coincidence,
Russell being connected
to the victims of both attacks.
- Catch you inside.
- All right.
Hi, can I just use that? Thank you.
LAUGHTER
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Russell Crew, 29, son of Maggie Crew,
boyfriend of Jenny Westlake.
He's been missing
since Jenny was murdered,
and has a history of violence.
Now, our colleagues at Counter Terrorism
have had eyes on him for some time.
He's got links with climate activists.
The report states
he's becoming more violent
and challenging
local leadership decisions.
Basically,
Crew wanted more direct action.
What kind of direct action?
Well, the report's heavily redacted,
but, reading between the lines,
I think he wanted to assassinate people.
Yeah, no, he gets kicked out
of the group, goes dark,
and then Counter Terrorism lose him.
And that's when he turns up here?
Eventually, yes.
He moves in with Jenny,
he makes sure there's no trace of
him on her phone or anywhere else.
And now she's dead,
his mum's been attacked
and he's disappeared.
I don't know. There's no motive.
Even the neighbours admit
they haven't seen him for months.
Still, an ex-boyfriend
with a history of violence.
Russell Crew goes to the top of the list.
We'll find him, sir.
How will we find him, though?
Counter Terrorism can't even find him.
Maybe a trip to the Nine Virgins
with Maggie could jog her memory.
DI HITCHENS SIGHS
I don't recognise Russell at all
from your photos.
If I'd have bumped into him
out here, I wouldn't have known him.
Was he born a murderer,
or did I turn him into one?
You weren't the only person
to have an influence over him.
Wait.
That feels familiar.
SHE GASPS: Yeah.
This place.
I've seen this place in my nightmares.
Hang on a minute. What's that?
What?
Careful.
- I don't wanna be here.
- It's OK.
WHIMPERS
What the hell?
Cooper!
Don't come down here!
You stay up there, all right?
POLICE RADIO STATIC,
CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK
What do we have here?
Dr Taylor, your thoughts?
If he had anything on him,
it's been destroyed.
We can try DNA and dental,
but I can't promise you a hit.
In which case, we're looking
for forensic facial reconstruction.
Check missing persons.
We might get lucky.
I've found something here.
- You look tired.
- Oh, thank you, Mum.
You carry so much. I worry.
I know, but you shouldn't.
Listen, I wanted
to pick your brains about
Do you know anyone who might have
a grudge against Warren Leach,
like a petrol-bomb-his-farm
type of grudge?
Oh! Well, it would be easier
to name someone who wouldn't.
OK.
Do you know his missus, Yvonne?
Oh, yeah.
- I went to school with her.
- Oh.
Haven't seen her in years.
Yvonne O'Brien, she was back then.
She were a gorgeous girl.
Great dancer. She had her pick.
And she ended up with Warren Leach?
Oh, that were her father's doing.
He wanted the grazing for the cattle.
Those old families like the Leaches,
they just see women
as a form of property.
Mm-hm. OK.
Can you tell me a bit about 'em,
like the history of what they're like?
Well, it all started
with the Nine Virgins.
No, not-not Mum, like, recent history.
No supernatural witchcraft stuff, please.
Recent.
- Yes, please.
- OK.
Well, there was that time
we changed the tags of his cattle.
OK. What was that about?
Well, he changed the tags
from his more valuable cattle,
- who had TB
- Mm-hm.
..and he put them on his cheaper cattle
so that they would be the ones
to be destroyed instead.
And he paid a hefty fine for it, too.
Diane.
It's time you come home, don't you think?
This is my home now.
I get it.
I messed up.
Messed up?
Dave, you've been threatening me.
Look
I've made mistakes, and I'm sorry.
If you come back, things'd be different.
Oh, change the record!
Apologising, swearing things'll change!
I mean, usually,
people fall for it, don't they?
But not me.
I'm leaving Lisa and the kids.
It'll just be us.
Why do you think I'd believe
anything you had to say now?
That's the problem with you, Dave.
It was never your fault.
You got to hurt people
and then just walk away
with a smile and a promotion.
Careful what you say next.
But I've finally seen the real you.
Diane.
What we have is beautiful.
Special.
It's not something you wanna throw away.
That's why I'm here
fighting for us.
There is no us, Dave.
We're done.
What's up wi' you?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
- Erm I'm fine.
- It's not him again, is it?
Has he been contacting you, Branagh?
No, I just I didn't sleep well.
Nothing a coffee won't sort out.
- Do you want one?
- No, I'm good.
Are you sure you're all right?
I'm fine.
HE EXHALES
Any news on the burnt body?
Er, going off a tip from my mum,
I did find an article
in the Derbyshire Gazette accusing
Warren Leach of ear tag fraud.
And guess who wrote it.
- It's written by Martin Scargill.
- Mm-hm.
Now, Leach claimed the piece was
defamatory, threatened to sue.
The paper issued a partial retraction,
Scargill was let go, lost his job.
Is that enough motive
for Scargill to firebomb
Warren Leach's farm, though?
Do you know what,
I think it actually might be.
What if the burned body
belongs to someone
who was there that night with Scargill?
Martin Scargill had an accomplice?
Well, why not?
Did anyone else get sacked
for that article?
Let's have a look.
Right. So, Scargill is the only name
on the byline,
but I think
he had a photographer with him.
A staff photographer?
Let me check.
Jenny Westlake.
GASPS
- That must be how they met.
- Hm.
- Wait, she was a photographer?
- Yeah.
- I wonder
- What?
- Oh, there we go.
- Yeah.
Sir, can I show you something?
Sir, look at this.
This is the day that Jenny died.
Look at that.
Wide strap with a weave pattern.
And no camera bag was found.
Can I see that?
Look at that.
The strap matches the bruising
on her neck.
Martin Scargill lost his job
because of Warren Leach.
Which gives him motive
to firebomb Leach's farm.
Or get someone to do it for him.
The burnt body?
Martin Scargill blamed Maggie Crew
for his divorce to Jenny Westlake.
Both women were attacked.
OK, it's circumstantial,
but right now, he feels like
the missing link to everything.
Yeah, no, they could be right.
- Martin Scargill.
- He'll be at the bookies. Let's go.
Actually, guys, no, no, no,
you go on. I'll take this.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. You've done enough.
All right, well, you still owe me
a bottle of whisky.
Huh!
BEN EXHALES
David Branagh, right?
Who are you?
Ben Cooper. I'm the one
that texted you to meet, not Diane.
I've got a message for you.
Diane doesn't want to see you.
Well, that's a private matter
between me and Diane.
Actually, I think it's a police matter.
DC Ben Cooper.
Anyone ever teach you
not to bring a knife to a gunfight?
Detective Chief Inspector David Branagh.
Outgunned and outranked, son.
Well, this isn't your force,
and you have no authority over me.
So as far as I'm concerned,
you're just a civilian,
and one who isn't welcome here.
You need to go away.
Go back to your wife
and your children and stay away.
Understand?
It's good enough for me.
Enjoy the drink.
DOOR CLOSES
Hello.
You all right?
Dave said you contacted him.
- I can't believe you did that.
- Somebody had to confront him.
You didn't have
to stick your nose in, Ben.
I had to do something.
And you didn't tell me he was
a chief inspector, by the way.
I was handling it. I mean,
what if this makes him escalate?
He won't!
He's got too much to lose, ain't he?
Yeah, well, I guess we'll find out.
Right, we know you lost your job
because of Leach.
Did you use a petrol bomb
to set fire to his farm?
No comment.
Do you wanna tell us
who was with you that night?
No comment.
OK. Did you attack Maggie Crew
and leave her for dead?
- No comment.
- Did you kill Jenny Westlake?
- No comment.
- No comment.
Right. Er Explain this to me.
Why was Jenny's camera bag
hidden in your car?
We now know that this was the bag
that was used to kill Jenny.
That was not in my car.
No, no, no, no,
the camera was in your car.
- No SD card. The camera was.
- That was not in my car!
That was not my f
That was not in my car!
Where's the SD card?
I'm being set up. I'm being set up!
This is a joke, man, I'm being set up!
- I'm telling you, I didn't do this!
- Come on, sit back down.
I can't believe this is happening.
I can't believe this is happening.
- OK.
- He's lying.
- I'm telling you, he's lying.
- OK.
Right, Martin, you had the motive.
And now we've found
you had the murder weapon.
Why don't you tell us
who that burnt body belonged to?
No comment.
I hope you paid for that.
Do you get a promotion
for policing snacks now?
Anyway, I saw you talking to a guy
in the car park the other day.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. That guy.
- Yeah, that guy.
- Er
Tim. No, Tom Marsden.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't forget a face.
- He works for the RSPCA.
- Yeah.
No, I got that from the caption.
Why did he wanna talk to you?
Well, he was a friend of Westlake.
He was gutted about her, and he, er
He wanted to ask us about our inquiry.
I told him I can't give him any
information, so he just went off.
Oh, CPS authorised charges
for Martin Scargill.
Murder, attempted murder, arson,
so, well done, you.
Tell Ben I've got his bottle of whisky.
Did Martin Scargill say
who the burnt body belonged to?
You are such a glass-half-empty
sort of girl, aren't you?
LAUGHS
HE EXHALES
BIRDSONG
BREATHES HEAVILY
Oh!
- BARKS
- Oh!
Oh!
BARKING CONTINUES
BARKING INTENSIFIES
PANTING
Oh! Oh!
Maggie. You said you wanted to meet here.
There was a dog barking,
and I smelled petrol.
And the noise and the smell
something clicked.
SHE SCOFFS
I wasn't attacked by Russell.
I came to protect him.
Protect him from who, Maggie?
The dogs.
We had to run.
There was so much noise
and and screaming.
GASPS: I'm I'm the one screaming!
Oh. Oh, the the man!
Oh, the man
- Who's the man, Maggie?
- No, it's not Russell.
He He bashed my head in,
and there's blood in my eyes.
I can't I can't see anything!
Is the man Martin Scargill?
Did Russell firebomb the farm, Maggie?
Oh, my God!
Is it something to do with his campaign?
My God! He's on fire.
He's on fire.
He's He was on fire.
The burnt body.
Oh! Oh!
So, the body that you found
in the woods was Russell?
Yes.
As we know, Russell Crew was in
a relationship with Jenny Westlake.
They both loved cats.
Both supported the same causes.
And they lived together.
When they broke up,
Russell had nowhere to go,
so he went to find his mother.
And as you can see,
it was an emotional reunion.
Yeah.
He told his mum that he was gonna
petrol-bomb Warren Leach's farm,
so she went with him to protect him.
Why? Cos of the ear tags?
No.
Look at this.
This is what started it all.
So, Martin Scargill found a cat
with horrific injuries.
I mean, he actually told us about it
in his first interview
because he was covered in scratches.
This poster is one of dozens around town.
Dozens of cats missing.
We believe these were
bait animals for fighting.
I should have twigged
the first time I saw Leach's dog.
It's not your typical farmer's dog,
but it is exactly the type of animal
you'd want for dogfighting.
Maggie told us that Jenny had
traced the cats to Leach's farm,
and that she was gathering evidence
by photographing the Leaches
every Sunday,
but that Russell wanted
to take a more direct approach,
which was to firebomb the farm.
We now know from Maggie's testimony
that Leach intercepted,
Russell caught fire
and must have burnt to death,
and it was Leach
who attacked Maggie that night.
Then, what, he killed Jenny
and took her SD card?
Yeah. Then moved her body
to the Nine Virgins,
near where he had dumped Russell's body.
And then he planted the camera strap
on Martin Scargill, who he hated.
Ah, yeah. It was Leach all along.
Sorry, I'm a bit lost.
Because we have charged Martin Scargill
and this case is closed.
No, he was framed and we fell for it.
OK, so we are going
on wild speculation now
because a cat has been found?
Well, I think we have enough
to at least justify
a warrant to search the farms.
So do I.
Jesus!
GROWLS
I warned you about trespassing.
We have a warrant to search
your property, Mr Leach.
You have no authority over me.
It's over.
You're just gonna
make things worse for yourself.
This land is cursed.
Things can always get worse.
GUNSHO
BARKING
All right.
OK, OK.
Good.
SHE CRIES
I've got it. I've got it.
I couldn't
I couldn't let him take you, too.
This must be the dogfighting ring.
How the dogs entered the ring.
Cheers, pal.
Right, so the cameras
are for live streaming.
A lot of money
to be made on the dark web.
Now, Leach would have needed
a sophisticated set-up
if he was to stream the fights.
But we've checked,
and we can't find any kit
that would suggest he was
responsible for the broadcasting.
How would it work, then?
Well, someone off-site
would be responsible
for capturing the raw video footage,
managing the stream.
Leach provides the content,
but he's definitely not the brains.
What are you thinking, Sarge?
Er This is a remote operation
..so whoever's behind this
is Russian, Albanian,
literally any organised crime group.
Plus they'll have seen us on these,
so they'll be disconnected.
They're long gone,
whoever it is, long gone.
All right, mate?
All right.
Did you find anything?
Oh, just this, er, SD card.
All right, give us it here.
I'll get this processed.
OK.
- Hello. All right?
- Thank you, mate.
How are you, Yvonne?
I have been silent my whole marriage.
I want to talk.
You can talk to us
down at the police station,
when you have a solicitor and
No, no, I want to talk to Ben.
It's been too many years.
You need to hear this from me.
Oh, God.
We should wait.
No, no, it's all right.
Go on.
I told Joe I couldn't be saved.
From Warren.
I warned him not to try.
He insisted he'd come to get me.
But Warren was waiting for him.
It was Warren.
Um
And afterwards, Warren called his man
and he came over
and cleaned up Boggart's Bridge.
His man got rid of the fingerprints,
footprints, tyre tracks, everything.
Erm
SHE SIGHS
Warren told me to get the blood out.
VOICE CRACKS:
But I couldn't bring myself to.
Thank you.
CHUCKLES WRYLY
He was trying to save her.
Gonna rescue her.
There's nothing in his PMBs.
Nothing in the logs.
Why was he hiding it?
Maybe he didn't wanna risk
Leach finding out.
Yeah, but he did, though, didn't he?
He did find out.
You know, Mum said his death was
connected to bad money and gambling,
and that describes Leach.
That's Leach and the dogfighting, innit?
Should have listened to her.
Should have listened, but I didn't.
And it's too late.
Everyone else is in shock,
and you're reading a book about
football like nothing's happened.
Thanks.
This is how I cope, if you must know.
I'm sure you'll think I'm stupid,
but reading about the Rams
helps to calm me down.
- Sorry. My bad.
- That's all right.
Have we had the photos taken off
Jenny Westlake's SD card yet?
Er No. No, no, no.
And you're not gonna get anything now.
Digital forensics shut shop on the dot.
Yeah, no, just stick it in the oven.
Yeah. 180, 30 minutes.
Yeah. OK.
And just make sure it's piping hot.
Because if you poison them kids,
you're gonna be cleaning up.
I really have to go, Todd Eland's
buying a round of drinks,
and I have never seen him do that before.
I've gotta go.
OK, thanks. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
OK. Sorry.
- Hold on, hold on.
- Oh, my God!
And Yes.
- Put that in the group chat.
- Yes!
SHE LAUGHS
Oh, do you know what it's like?
It's like, erm
It's like witnessing
a mythical creature in the wild.
It's like something
you've heard about all your life,
but you've never actually seen it.
And then there it is,
Todd Eland's wallet.
Jesus!
Can I? Can I do something nice
for you bastards
without getting roasted?
Did you put one on the bar for Joe?
Oh, of course, yeah.
Pint for Joe.
- Oh.
- Pint there, please.
OK.
- There you go, Mum.
- Thanks.
Thank you, love.
I thought closure
would feel better than this.
Well
we may have closure,
but we've been denied justice.
Warren Leach'll never have
to answer for what he did.
That's not gonna help, Mum.
Don't be so judgemental.
I'm not.
Just need to find a way
to process it, I guess.
Well
This is my process.
Joe belonged to us.
Warren Leach had no right
taking him away.
Dad hated a bully.
He was always gonna do something.
Never marry a hero.
Not if you want them to come home.
EXHALES SHAKILY
To Joe,
a beloved husband and a great dad.
Yeah.
Hiya. Tom, thanks for coming in,
I appreciate it,
and I won't take
much of your time, but
look
you were friends
with Jenny Westlake, is that right?
Yes.
I met Jenny through some fundraising
she did for the RSPCA.
She was extremely passionate
about animal welfare.
Did she ever mention the missing cats?
Yes. That's what kicked off
the special investigation.
Jenny noticed an unusual number
of cats going missing,
and she worked out that they were
being used as bait animals.
We actually know who was responsible
for Jenny's death.
Warren Leach?
That's information I can't divulge,
I'm sorry.
I guess you have Sergeant Eland
to thank for that.
Why do you say that?
He was our point of contact here.
- He knew Jenny?
- Indirectly.
He was very impressed with her tenacity.
He told me she'd make a great detective.
Todd Eland?
Yes.
Why do you seem surprised?
Tom What was
Jenny photographing up there?
Erm The men who were going
to the fights.
She said she had a whole rogues' gallery.
Erm Thank you, Tom.
Thanks for your time.
Driving licence. Cards.
Keys. Phone. Clothes.
Offerings. Crystals. Flowers.
The SD card weren't put in for evidence.
- All right, guys.
- Tough day?
Yeah. I'm OK.
My man.
You were wrong about Scargill,
but I'm a good sport.
- Come on.
- Much obliged. Thank you.
Is he, erm?
Is he gonna sue for wrongful arrest?
Well, he can try,
but, you know, it's not our fault
Leach planted evidence on him, is it?
Pint, Ben?
Ah, I'll wait till Diane gets here.
- She is coming?
- Oh, yeah. She's just delayed.
She's interviewing a guy from the RSPCA.
Guys, excuse me, I have to take a piss.
Five drinks would've been pushing it.
PHONE BUZZES
Yeah, it would.
Hey. Oh! Oh
We need to chat. Yeah?
What do you have to say?
Look, I'm your superior officer,
so you just be careful.
Yeah?
Oh, I'm always careful.
I followed the evidence.
Diane
..whatever you think you know,
you're wrong.
I only know what I saw on the SD card.
Look at you, eh.
Coming here and thinking
you're so clever.
Typical outsider.
You don't understand that
you're just upsetting the applecart.
What applecart?
History.
Things you don't respect or understand.
OK, I'll tell you what I understand.
You were in it
with Leach and the dogfights.
You interviewed Maggie, badly,
but we're all so used
to you underperforming,
no-one suspected it was on purpose.
You even tried to frame Martin Scargill.
You are the man in charge of it all.
The one Yvonne was warned about.
You're the devil.
Oh, you sound hysterical.
No, you do. You sound unfit for the job.
Just excuse us a sec.
Yeah.
You investigated Joe Cooper's murder,
and there wasn't a speck of evidence
because you cleaned that scene,
didn't you?
And you did it for Leach.
You've been lying to Ben's face
every day for the last five years.
Stop.
I did him a favour with that lie.
What are you talking about?
Joe Cooper was having an affair
with Yvonne Leach.
All right? He fancied her since school.
They were gonna run away together!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Cooper, perfect cop, perfect daddy,
were gonna abandon his wife and his son.
He were no hero!
So, now what are you gonna do?
You gonna run and tell
your good friend Ben the truth?
Are you?
How do you think he might take it?
Because I think
he's gonna hate you for it.
I think he deserves to know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is a great idea (!)
Because all he and Isabel have left
are memories.
So, why don't you go
and destroy it, yeah?
That's for the best (!)
I'm arresting you for the murder
of Jenny Westlake.
HE SHUSHES HER
SHE GASPS
Oh!
Shut up and drive.
Think about what you're doing,
you won't get away with it.
Shut up.
I'm gonna text Ben
and tell him you hate it here.
You're going to Leeds.
I don't think anyone
would be looking for you.
- Ah!
- Ow!
HE GRUNTS
Argh! Argh!
SHE SCREAMS
Get off!
SHE SCREAMS
HE GRUNTS
Argh!
Stop!
You think you're better than me, Diane?
- GRUNTS
- You're just like her, aren't you?
You think you're better than me?
SHE GASPS FOR AIR
Ah.
Ah, I should have buried Jenny in
the slurry pit with the dead dogs.
I'm not gonna make
the same mistake with you.
GRUNTING
ELAND LAUGHS
Ah!
Ah.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
you later rely on in court.
OK.
Name your associates
in the dogfighting ring.
No comment.
These images were recovered
from an SD card
found in Warren Leach's farmhouse,
where we believe you stashed it.
The photos show a number of men
entering and leaving a dogfight.
No comment.
Is this a picture of you at the dogfight?
No comment.
Is this a picture of you approaching
Jenny Westlake at the Nine Virgins?
No comment.
Did you remove the SD card
and then put the camera bag
in Martin Scargill's car?
No comment.
In the case of the murder of Joe Cooper,
do you admit to perverting
the course of justice?
No comment.
Joe Cooper didn't die
of his injuries straightaway.
Was he still alive
when you found him, Todd?
Did you let him think
that you were going to save him?
Did he watch you as you cleaned up
the scene and as he lay dying?
Don't.
Don't you dare
..say, "No comment."
There was nothing I could do.
OK?
I swear to you.
I can't listen to this.
The IOPC have been informed.
He's out of our hands now.
Neutral force?
- Yorkshire.
- Yeah.
- Are you OK, boss?
- No, Tracy.
Very much not OK.
Is he round there?
- Ben, Ben. Ben!
- I just wanna talk to him
Ben. Ben!
It won't change anything.
He watched him die.
Yeah, but listen, he is in a hell
of his own bloody creation.
You do not need to join him.
- Made it extra strong for you.
- All right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
I guess I thought he was my friend.
EXHALES
And I
..told myself it's just how he is,
you know?
"He's a good lad, really.
Deep down, he's got a good heart."
LAUGHS
Yeah.
Should've looked a bit more closely,
I guess.
Would've saw what you saw.
Can't blame yourself.
He made his own choices.
Yeah.
He didn't say anything
when he attacked you, did he?
No.
He was just interested
in saving his own skin.
Yeah.
EXHALES DEEPLY
Well, I don't suppose I'll ever get
the truth out of him now, will I?
Your mum were right about everything.
Oh, God!
Yeah, she'd love to hear you say that.
- What you having, usual?
- Yes, please.
Hiya, mate. Two pints
and a white wine, please.
- Mm-hm.
- Thank you.
Whay.
What a day.
Finally starting to understand
why you like it in here.
Ah, it's good.
It's good to see you
looking a bit happier, anyway.
This is what I'm usually like
when I'm not hiding from an ex.
Your man's not been in touch, has he?
I don't wanna jinx it,
but I think whatever you said
might have actually worked.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
I'm thinking of going
to the Nine Virgins tomorrow.
Leave some flowers for Jenny.
Yeah, that's a nice thought.
I can come with you if you like?
You know what, I'd appreciate that.
Cool.
- Oh. Thank you.
- Cheers, pal.
Thank you.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
One for the old man.
Love you, Dad.
or snooping around,
but I came across the stuff
you have on your dad's murder case.
BEN: It led nowhere,
so I boxed it all away.
I could take a look. Fresh eyes.
No. No need. I'm done with it, honest.
There were more flowers last year.
Home-grown, they're nice.
Yeah. Someone leaves them every year.
The same flowers, the same message.
- Does this guy have a name?
- It's David.
Every time he texts or calls you,
you freeze,
so you obviously don't wanna see him.
You need to do the right thing
and report him.
BIRDSONG
So much litter!
Idiots.
They have no respect for the nature.
DOOR OPENS
MAN: Huh.
CRIES OU
Oh!
GASPING
PANTING
RINGING TONE
- Emergency services.
- Operator.
What is the nature of your emergency?
Yes. There's a dead woman
dancing in the circle.
Yeah.
A dead woman
dancing
..in the Nine Virgins.
KNOCKING
Are you up?
Yeah, but I'm getting changed.
Right, well, hurry up,
and bring your boots
cos a woman's been found dead
on Ringham Edge.
Go on, I know you're dying
to tell me what this is about.
Well, each ribbon represents a wish.
Wow! What if I tied a ribbon or ten?
Could I get rid of my ex?
What, has he been back in contact?
No, but I can't help shaking
the feeling that he's closing in.
I feel like I see him everywhere.
Go on, tell me it's all in my head.
I don't think you're the type
to imagine things, are you?
You know, Ben,
you're allowed to lie sometimes.
OK, it's all in your imagination, Diane.
- That is much better, thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Sarge.
- All right.
Hope you brought your crucifixes.
It's weird as hell in here.
Excuse me! That path is closed.
And I know you saw the sign.
Go on, turn around.
She's so young.
Her ID was in her jacket with her phone.
Jenny Westlake.
She's a local. Thought so.
Do you know her?
No, but I've seen her face around town.
- Time of death?
- You know what I'm gonna say.
She's been out here all night,
there's too many variables,
- so don't quote you, yeah?
- Spot on.
So, on that basis, a very rough estimate
based on core temperature,
corneal opacity and rigor mortis,
I'd say eight to ten hours.
Around midnight, then.
- See the bruising and the abrasions?
- Yeah.
Hm. Strangulation.
Yeah. I'll have to find
the hyoid bone fractures to confirm,
but it looks like someone used
a wide strap of some sort
to strangle her. Huge force.
It's left the imprint of the weave.
And she was killed here?
Mud on her boots
are consistent with the path,
and I'd say lividity will confirm
that she died right here.
This posing looks deliberate.
Right in the middle of the Nine Virgins.
I'd say it's the killer
making a statement.
Strangling's an act of rage, though.
It's a loss of control.
Hm. But the posing suggests
planning and control.
It's inconsistent.
What do you think that suggests?
Thank you, Doctor.
What the hell is that?
Are you the ranger, Ravi Patel?
- Hm.
- Yeah?
DC Ben Cooper. Are we OK to have a chat?
Hm.
Can we ask what were you
doing here this morning
when she was found?
Collecting rubbish, of course.
People drop litter like it's nothing,
but it's poison for the wildlife.
Right. Well, can you tell us
what you saw, please?
A dead woman dancing.
What do you mean, dancing?
Like the nine virgins, you know?
The ones who were killed
for dancing on the Sabbath
and turned to stone.
OK. Ah.
Had you seen her before, this woman?
Every Sunday at sundown.
- On her own?
- I never saw her with anyone.
Do you have any idea why she'd be
up here on her own in the dark?
The stones, they draw all sorts,
you know?
People who want a baby or a promotion
or even a
even a winning lottery ticket.
HE CHUCKLES
They make their offerings on the Sabbath,
thinking that the virgins
will grant their wish.
HE INHALES
Right, you seem pretty connected
to this place.
Thank you. I am.
- Do you mind people coming here?
- It's not mine to say so.
If Warren Leach wants them
traipsing all over, it's up to him.
Why would he have a say?
Isn't it a national park?
Oh, it's Leach's land.
It has been for 500 years.
There's an access agreement
that allows people
to visit the Nine Virgins.
- Guys, let me take the lead, all right?
- Uh?
The Leach family have been here
several hundred years.
They'll be offended if anyone less
than a sergeant deals with 'em.
Fair enough.
What's with the cameras?
Can't imagine protection,
cos it looks like a dump.
Farmers, they're paranoid.
It's the Wild West out here.
What happened here, then? Look at that.
Looks like there was a fire.
Well, it certainly adds
to the overall ambience
of dereliction and decay, doesn't it?
Guys, can we focus, yeah?
It's not an episode of Countryfile.
It's a working farm.
It doesn't have to be picture-perfect.
There's someone there.
Hello!
Erm
Police. Could we have a chat?
You all right?
We'd be quick.
Yvonne!
Get back inside the house, now!
Jesus!
What are you doing on my land?
Detective Constable Fry,
and this is my colleague.
We don't speak to cops on this farm.
Well, a young lady has lost her life.
Well, that's not my affair.
Yeah, well, it is
when it's on your property, sir.
BARKING
I want you off my farm.
I give you fair warning.
Leave now, or I'll set the dog on you.
Mr Leach.
Hi. Detective Sergeant Todd Eland. Er
Listen, I am sorry for disturbing you,
but there's been an incident
at the Nine Virgins.
It won't take much of your time,
all right?
- All right. Thanks for your time, all right?
- Right.
Who would have thought
Eland had any diplomacy in him?
- Come on.
- Yeah, he's full of surprises.
You know what, I think
the wife would have spoke to us.
- Until he yelled at her, you mean.
- Yeah.
- Yes, Sarge.
- Yeah. I wouldn't talk to him again.
He's the type to file a complaint
just to make your life a misery.
What about Jenny Westlake?
Did he see her last night?
No, not a thing.
I'm starting to think
she never made it up this far.
So, victim's name's Jenny Westlake.
29 years of age.
Her parents have
positively identified the body,
and the postmortem reveals
that it was death by asphyxiation.
There's no sign of sexual assault,
though there are fingerprints
all over her boots
which might possibly have been
the killer's.
Digital forensics are
working on her phone at the moment.
We should hear from them ASAP.
Doorbell camera footage from her street
is being collated as we speak.
She was found with her bank cards,
her phone and her car keys,
so we can rule out robbery.
So, what else have we got?
CCTV footage from the Peak Ranger's hut
shows that she arrived alone at 6pm.
Now, she would do this
every Sunday for months.
So what we need is
a detailed description
of her movements up to that.
So, all those cars parked
at the ranger's hut,
all the people who rented bikes
need to be traced.
We wanna find out who saw her
or who was with her.
Her body was discovered
by Ravi Patel, the ranger.
What do you make of him?
Well, he wasn't upset to find
a dead body, put it that way.
He was more bothered about the littering.
He assumed Jenny Westlake
was leaving offerings
for the Nine Virgins.
Apparently, it's quite
a popular spot for making wishes.
We've collected flowers and crystals
from the scene.
Every Sunday, apparently,
Ravi clears them all up,
so what we've picked up
should be fairly recent.
Might be able to show us summat.
Yeah, and we think the killer might
have left one of those offerings,
so we've sent it off for DNA,
fingerprints.
Or Jenny was the offering.
You know, like a blood sacrifice.
Are you being serious?
I never joke about Satanism, Tracy.
This photo is
of Jenny Westlake's husband,
who was a man called Martin Scargill.
Her parents weren't keen.
They said the divorce was nasty.
- Wasn't he a journalist?
- Do you know him?
Not really, but, erm, I remember
he used to work at the local paper.
But he hasn't been on the scene
for a while.
I assume he lost his job
because of cutbacks.
Well, her parents said he was freelance
and he moved around Derbyshire
quite a lot,
so shouldn't be too hard to find him.
Yeah, yeah, I'll give it a go.
I love your Satanist theory.
But it's always the ex-husband.
Posing a body's a risky thing, yeah?
Yeah, you might be seen,
or leave forensics behind.
Exactly.
So the posing is important.
I mean, important enough
to stay and risk being caught.
Which means he thought about it.
Fantasised about it, planned it.
I mean,
maybe even attempted it bef
Bingo.
Oh, yeah.
KNOCKING
- Yeah?
- Do you have a minute, sir?
Yeah.
Erm
About six weeks ago,
a woman called Maggie Crew
was attacked around a mile
from where we found Jenny Westlake.
Oh, yeah, Todd took the statement,
if I remember right.
Yeah, I mean, that's her whole statement.
It's a bit sparse, isn't it?
Well, to be fair,
she was knocked unconscious.
She didn't remember much.
Two women were attacked in the same area
within a few weeks of each other.
It deserves a closer look,
don't you think?
Maggie Crew wasn't posed.
And she wasn't dead either, so
well, maybe something spooked him
and he ran off.
And you think he tried again
with Jenny Westlake?
Yeah.
And if the two are linked,
what's the connection?
This statement is embarrassing.
What was Eland thinking?
Must have been having a day off
or summat.
Or hungover, knowing him.
Right.
Maggie Crew was found here.
Right.
And Jenny Westlake was found there.
That is a great catch
if they are connected.
Thanks.
Let me get Maggie's address up.
Joe Cooper here.
EXHALES
- What does she do for a living?
- Erm Divorce lawyer.
- Ah.
- Yeah.
We were hoping you might remember
more about what happened.
I already told your colleague everything,
which is to say, nothing.
I don't recall that night at all.
Your memories'll still be there.
It's just, erm
After such a traumatic event,
your brain's trying to prevent you
from accessing.
I know, I know.
It's a glitch to protect me.
They explained it in the hospital.
I might be able to access those memories
if I expose myself to some triggers,
but there's no guarantee.
We don't wanna traumatise you any more,
but the person who did this to you,
well, shouldn't get away with it.
I know that something awful
happened that night,
but it's like I wasn't there,
and I'm fine with that.
I don't want to remember.
I'm sorry, I have to ask you,
do you know a Jenny Westlake,
29 years old?
No.
Why?
She was attacked
in the same area last night.
Why are you talking to me, then?
Go talk to her.
She didn't survive.
Maybe you might recognise her.
That's Jenny Scargill!
Scargill, not Westlake.
How do you know her, Maggie?
I handled her divorce.
Did Martin do this?
Did he kill her?
It's a possibility
we have to explore, yeah.
Well, he attacked me, too.
I mean, am I safe?
Is he gonna come back?
It's just a possibility at this
stage, nothing's been confirmed.
EXHALES SHARPLY
You telling me, Diane,
you don't know how to blind copy?
- That's ridiculous.
- I didn't say that.
Aye-aye.
- What's all that about, then?
- Probably owes him money.
What?
Well, I lent him a tenner last week.
Ah-ha, you got no chance
of seeing that again.
INDISTINC
So, I called Martin Scargill,
like, a hundred times.
- Hm?
- Left messages, nothing.
Then, I get word that he gets done
at the Quiet Shepherd.
What, arrested?
Yeah. Drunk and disorderly.
So, I give the custody sergeant a call,
and he says that he's covered
in scratches and bruises.
Yeah, you can see it
on his hands and neck.
- From fighting Jenny off?
- Yeah, that's what I thought.
- Could be.
- Is he fit for interview?
Well, he's had a go
at pretending he was unconscious,
but, er yeah, he's fooling no-one.
Yeah, that old chestnut. Thanks, Trace.
Yeah.
It's a lot of palaver
over a fistfight, isn't it?
We'd like your help
with another unconnected matter
relating to your ex-wife.
When did you last see Jenny?
It's been Must be going on a year now.
Since your divorce, then?
Yeah. Why?
Did you part on good terms?
SCOFFS: No.
But we were divorcing, so it's bound
to be a bit fraught, isn't it?
Is it right that you didn't like
her lawyer, Maggie Crewe?
That's like asking me
if I liked my root canal.
All she did was cause me pain.
And when did you last see Maggie?
No idea.
Sorry, but why are you asking me
about my bloody divorce?
Jenny Westlake was found dead
at the Nine Virgins on Ringham Edge.
No!
What?
You're joking.
What happened? W?
Did she have an accident or?
We're investigating the
circumstances surrounding her death.
Jenny was murdered?
Are all your injuries
from the fight last night?
Cos some of 'em look a little older.
Yeah.
No. I
Wait.
No, no, no, no, no.
I would never hurt Jenny.
Where did the scratches
come from, Martin?
I was I found an injured cat, OK?
And I just
I found an injured cat.
I just wanted to wrap him up in
a towel, bring him to the vet, OK?
He looked like he'd been
attacked by a fox or something,
so I just tried to wrap him up,
put him in a towel,
bring him to the vets,
and he tore me up, OK?
What, so you're a big animal lover,
are you?
No, but, you know, I couldn't
leave him to die, you know?
I just
I'm not a monster.
Maggie Crew said that Scargill felt
very hard done by by their divorce.
She reckons he blamed her
for his financial hardship.
But she told me he was a gambler.
Now, I checked this
with Trevor down at the bookies,
and apparently, he's confirmed it.
He was in there most days,
and he reckons Scargill's losses
paid for his trip to the Maldives.
Sorry to interrupt, but we need
to go to the Nine Virgins now.
- Ravi Patel was just spotted there.
- OK.
See you in a bit.
BIRDSONG
Ravi, we need to talk.
Your fingerprints are on Jenny's boots.
- You have no power to be here!
- Hey!
- Ravi!
- Inside the sacred space!
Watch it. Keep your distance, right?
- Your law has no power over the old gods!
- Mr Patel!
Right, you're coming with us.
You're under arrest.
- Get out of here!
- Turn round!
- Give me your hands!
- Get out of here!
- Ravi, just calm down.
- The Virgins will be upset.
- Mr Patel!
- Get out of here now!
I'm upset, mate. Come on.
- Get out!
- Let's go.
You found Jenny Westlake's
dead body, and you weren't upset.
I find that strange, no?
I'm used to it.
Walkers die from falls.
They die from exposure,
from heart attack and strokes.
They fall into the water and drown.
There's not much I haven't seen.
Even murder?
Death is death.
See, I find there's
a world of a difference
between someone's nan having a stroke
and the brutal murder of a young woman.
CHUCKLES LIGHTLY
Not to the stones.
Let's talk about today, Ravi.
What was all that about?
You wouldn't understand.
Well, maybe we would if you, er
if you explained it to us.
RAVI EXHALES
When blood is spilled in the circle
..it unleashes tremendous power.
Your ancestors knew this
..but the Church was threatened by it.
The practice was stamped out
and eventually forgotten.
So now you have no knowledge
of the incredible powers
that lie in the land beneath your feet.
What does this power do?
Whatever you want.
So long as you're there to receive it.
And that's what you were doing, right?
You were receiving the power, yeah?
Absolutely.
It was a unique opportunity.
Was killing Jenny Westlake
a unique opportunity?
No, I didn't kill her.
Oh. All right, well,
maybe you could explain to us
why we found your fingerprints
all over her boots.
Oh!
That's easy.
I made her dance.
You made her dance?
Do you wanna explain
exactly what you mean?
She was lying there,
dead in a heap.
And I thought, "That's no good."
So I
I moved her arms and her legs
and made her dance.
And it was the right thing to do
because the stones came alive.
Ravi Patel sacrificed Jenny Westlake
in order to unleash the power
of the stones.
He almost confessed it.
He didn't confess.
Sorry, Ben.
Were you not there in the room?
He literally said
she were a blood sacrifice.
No, no.
He admitted to finding her dead body
and posing it postmortem.
- Oh, come on!
- Completely different.
He has to say that in order
to account for all the forensics.
All right?
Yeah, but he denied killing her
and he never said the words
"blood sacrifice".
Oh, my God, he did.
Guys! Guys, we're off the clock.
Just eat your pizzas.
I reckon, right,
Maggie Crew were his first victim.
He knocked her out and he wanted to
bring her to the stones to kill her,
but I don't know, he miscalculated
and he did it too fast, so he dumps her.
So, the next time,
he has to wait for his victim
to arrive at the stones.
He knows Jenny is there of a Sunday,
making her wishes, whatever
It's a perfect sacrifice.
OK. Let's get you a warrant
to search Patel's house tomorrow.
Well, I still think Martin Scargill
has the greater motive.
I agree with Ben.
Well, Scargill's drowning in debt.
He's bitter. It's obviously revenge.
Well, Diane,
it's-it's preliminary stages.
No-one's getting charged yet.
All I'm saying is that when someone does,
it'll be Ravi Patel, all right?
DISTANT BARKING
Diane? I was just thinking, erm
EXHALES
What are you doing?
Don't get annoyed.
Look, I know you said it was a dead end,
but I wanted to take a look
with fresh eyes, you know?
Well, I told you,
there's nothing to see, so
You think I haven't tried?
No, I know you have.
You've been kind to me, Ben.
And I guess I just wanted to try
and give you something back,
you know?
You don't need to do that.
No, I know, but I would like
to look at the case in my own time.
And I promise you, I won't
trouble you unless I find summat.
SIGHS
Well, you won't.
But I guess I can't stop you
from trying, can I?
It's a nice thought.
Erm While you are here,
I've been thinking,
should we try and talk to
Yvonne Leach about Martin Scargill?
I mean, the way she looked back at us,
it was like she wanted to talk,
but can't.
OK, so we wait till Warren
takes his cows down for milking
and see if she's more willing
to talk then.
Sounds good.
We can go before searching Ravi's.
Night.
Good night.
BIRDSONG
GASPING
GASPING CONTINUES
Hi, Yvonne. Sorry to drop in unannounced.
We thought
it might be a good time to talk?
Thank you.
Tea?
Oh, no, thanks. We won't keep you long.
The milk yield's down,
so Warren'll be back soon.
He says it's because of
all the disturbance.
He thinks
you should pay him compensation.
Well, we'll be quick.
Did you see Jenny Westlake
go past your house on Sunday?
This is a picture of Jenny.
Well, it's a right of way,
so people are always coming past.
We take no notice of them
as long as they don't bother us.
Oh!
Her parents must be devastated.
They are.
And she was their only child.
I'm sorry. I
Do you recognise this man?
D No.
Like I said,
I take no notice of the walkers.
I noticed a scorched patch on the land.
Can you tell me what happened?
Has someone been burning stuff?
Warren said it was an accident.
OK.
Would have been quite a big fire.
I was asleep, I didn't see anything.
You know what?
Actually, I will take you up
on that offer of a cup of tea.
But you have to do something,
don't you, Ben?
Er Yeah. Yeah. I need
to get in touch with the boss.
I'll meet you back at the car, yeah?
Thank you, Yvonne.
MOOING
PHONE CAMERA CLICKS
Flowers are beautiful.
You've obviously got green fingers.
Oh! Just supermarket seeds.
Nothing special.
I thought they were special.
Special enough that I noticed them
left at the Nine Virgins.
That was you, wasn't it?
SCOFFS
Silly superstition. Must think I'm daft.
You also left flowers at
Joe Cooper's memorial, didn't you?
EXHALES
Joe Cooper was a kind man.
He used to come and check on me.
Because of Warren?
Who checks on you
now that Joe Cooper's passed?
Warren'll be back soon. You should go.
Do you need help, Yvonne?
Because I can get you a safe place.
GASPS
Until he is dead
nowhere is safe.
GUN COCKS
You're trespassing.
No warrant.
No rights.
EXHALES
I'm investigating a murder
that happened on your land,
so that does give me the right.
This is harassment.
Yeah, well, feel free
to lodge a formal complaint.
WARREN CHUCKLES
As the tree, so the fruit.
Hi, Ben.
I wondered where you'd got to.
I was looking for you,
but bumped into Mr Leach here.
Morning, Mr Leach.
Look, erm
Sorry we startled you,
but if you don't wanna talk,
then we'll just go, won't we, Ben?
Yeah.
So this is Ravi's house?
Nice.
You don't think it's weird
that a man who hates littering
chooses to live like this?
Hm.
I mean, maybe it's easier
to control the outside world
than whatever is going on in here.
Hang on a minute.
Aw. Another one.
Like the one we found at the crime scene.
Come on, then.
Do you think Eland is right?
Do you think Ravi Patel killed her
to activate the power of the stones?
Listen, I'm used to people
around here having funny beliefs
and superstitions,
but it doesn't make them dangerous.
Yeah, I know, but you can't deny
the fingerprint evidence
found on the victim's boots, though.
EXHALES
Hey, look at this.
OK, this is the bag that Ravi had on him
when we were speaking to him
for litter picking.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Look at that. OK?
Remember this?
Yeah.
Opportunity, motive
and now
physical evidence.
Why do you have so many?
My mother made them.
You used to live with her?
Yeah.
She fell ill
when I was around 12 years old.
I dedicated my life to caring for her.
Did you ask the Nine Virgins to cure her?
Yeah.
That's how she lived such a long life.
The doctors only gave her a few years,
but she made it to 77
thanks to their blessings.
We found this corn dolly
in the stone circle near Jenny's body.
CHUCKLES
That's right.
Can you tell us what it was doing there?
After my mum passed away,
I've been living on my own.
I'm good at looking after others,
but I'm terrible at looking after myself.
I've been praying to the Virgins
to help me find someone to love,
someone who will care for me.
And when you saw Jenny Westlake
at the Virgins,
did you think she was intended for you?
Hardly.
She was dead.
Did you not see her arrive?
Of course not.
She parked up at sunset.
How do you know that?
Everyone who parks has to fill in
the ledger at the ranger station.
And what did you do after you closed up?
I went home.
Can you prove that?
You can ask at the Palak Palace.
I get my takeaway there.
Same thing every night.
They have it waiting for me.
SHE EXHALES
This is your bag, right?
Can you explain why the straps
on your bag
appear to match the bruising on her neck?
You can't see what's going on, can you?
See what, Ravi?
There's a flat stone
right outside the circle.
Most people miss it,
but that's the Fiddler.
The one who plays the tune.
He's the one you should be looking for.
The one close to the circle
..pulling the strings.
And who is he? Who's this Fiddler?
The devil in your midst.
So, he basically denied everything
until we presented him with the evidence.
And then he blamed the Fiddler.
- You what?
- It's more folklore about the stones.
- He says it's the devil.
- The devil?
Yeah. Apparently, the devil is
planting evidence to fit him up.
I'll give him his credit,
I've never heard that one before.
I'll arrange
for a mental health assessment.
Hey, guys. Your mum called, Ben,
says she has info on Jenny Westlake.
OK.
Sir.
Thank you.
Mum, is this real, actual
information about Jenny Westlake,
or is it from the cards?
Just listen to yourself. So rude.
Jenny were a client.
Lovely girl.
Why did she come to see you?
Oh, boyfriend trouble.
They were arguing a lot.
There was something he wanted her to do,
and she were feeling pressured.
The cards urged her to avoid danger,
so she broke up with him.
Wait. Boyfriend or husband?
I don't know. One or the other.
It were the man in her life,
that's what's important.
So, I pull this spread
when I heard she were murdered.
Your killer is a manipulator,
a gambler,
and a shapeshifter.
He may look like
the life and soul of the party,
but he's full of darkness.
Gambling, eh?
BEN WHISTLES INWARDLY
Oh. We're on.
There he is.
I'm buying.
- No, no.
- MARTIN LAUGHS
BEN: Not exactly
the picture of grief, is he?
It's not a good look,
but tarot cards can't form the basis
of an arrest.
Yeah, well,
you know Jenny didn't get around
to changing her will
after they divorced?
No way.
No, don't tell me
Scargill's a beneficiary.
Yeah.
All right, cool.
I'll meet you there, yeah?
Any news on the strap?
- Lab's still working on it.
- All right.
HE EXHALES: Shall we call it a day?
Get a takeaway.
- Palak Palace.
- Be rude not to.
The bloody strap doesn't match.
- Christ! How?
- Oh, no!
The pattern matched the marks
on her neck.
SIGHS
Similar, but not the same.
As clean as a whistle.
Whatever he strangled her with,
it wasn't that strap.
OK, sir, what's our next step, then?
Well, Ravi Patel has been sectioned,
so that buys us a bit of time.
We could follow up on Martin Scargill.
Why?
Ravi's fingerprints are
on our victim. He's our man.
Well, the Palak Palace said
he picked up his takeaway
at the normal time that evening.
Great, he's got an alibi for 7pm,
not for midnight.
He could have gone home,
had his chicken korma,
and gone back to the Nine Virgins.
Scargill has more of a motive
than Ravi, who was a carer.
I mean, his whole life
was about caring and service.
See if you can place Martin Scargill
at the scene.
Yes, sir.
Bottle of Scotch says you're wrong.
Deal.
Scargill could have killed Jenny
at home, but he didn't.
Why?
Look at her door.
She knew she had to keep him out.
How did he know she was gonna be
at the Nine Virgins, though?
I mean, must have followed her.
Which means somebody must have seen him.
That's true.
Tracy, did the doorbell footage come
back from Jenny Westlake's street?
Yeah, came in about an hour ago.
- You wanna have a look?
- Yeah.
Sarge? Sir?
Come and look at this.
Well, that's not Martin Scargill.
No, and it's not Ravi Patel.
Have you got a name?
Yeah, it's Russell Crew.
Maggie Crew's son, he was in
a relationship with Jenny Westlake.
How the hell did they know each other?
You never mentioned
you had a son, Maggie.
Why would I? I haven't seen him
in over ten years.
He hasn't been in touch?
No texts, emails?
No.
We're estranged.
What has this got to do with Russell?
I thought I was attacked
by Martin Scargill.
Russell was Jenny Westlake's boyfriend.
Russell's back in Edendale?
I had no idea.
Can I ask what happened between you two?
He was always a very sensitive boy.
Very kind.
But he went to uni
and he simply couldn't cope.
He started taking drugs and got very
angry about environmental issues.
He was opposed
to this housing development.
I remember the protests.
It was about saving some oak trees,
wasn't it?
The developer had to remove nine
oak trees to build these houses.
An environmental survey was conducted
and they found that the site
had no special significance,
no rare species, habitats,
or anything like that.
And Russell didn't agree with that?
No, no. He was furious.
He said that chopping down oaks
to build Oak Ridge was obscene.
He sent bomb threats
..and envelopes full of powder,
claiming it was anthrax.
He was out of control.
What's happened to him?
Some policemen from Counter Terrorism
came looking for him.
Even though all he'd ever sent
was baby powder.
And he vanished.
He dropped out of uni
and cut all contact with me.
This might be a difficult question,
Maggie.
You don't think it was possible
that it could have been Russell
who attacked you?
It can't be a coincidence,
Russell being connected
to the victims of both attacks.
- Catch you inside.
- All right.
Hi, can I just use that? Thank you.
LAUGHTER
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Russell Crew, 29, son of Maggie Crew,
boyfriend of Jenny Westlake.
He's been missing
since Jenny was murdered,
and has a history of violence.
Now, our colleagues at Counter Terrorism
have had eyes on him for some time.
He's got links with climate activists.
The report states
he's becoming more violent
and challenging
local leadership decisions.
Basically,
Crew wanted more direct action.
What kind of direct action?
Well, the report's heavily redacted,
but, reading between the lines,
I think he wanted to assassinate people.
Yeah, no, he gets kicked out
of the group, goes dark,
and then Counter Terrorism lose him.
And that's when he turns up here?
Eventually, yes.
He moves in with Jenny,
he makes sure there's no trace of
him on her phone or anywhere else.
And now she's dead,
his mum's been attacked
and he's disappeared.
I don't know. There's no motive.
Even the neighbours admit
they haven't seen him for months.
Still, an ex-boyfriend
with a history of violence.
Russell Crew goes to the top of the list.
We'll find him, sir.
How will we find him, though?
Counter Terrorism can't even find him.
Maybe a trip to the Nine Virgins
with Maggie could jog her memory.
DI HITCHENS SIGHS
I don't recognise Russell at all
from your photos.
If I'd have bumped into him
out here, I wouldn't have known him.
Was he born a murderer,
or did I turn him into one?
You weren't the only person
to have an influence over him.
Wait.
That feels familiar.
SHE GASPS: Yeah.
This place.
I've seen this place in my nightmares.
Hang on a minute. What's that?
What?
Careful.
- I don't wanna be here.
- It's OK.
WHIMPERS
What the hell?
Cooper!
Don't come down here!
You stay up there, all right?
POLICE RADIO STATIC,
CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK
What do we have here?
Dr Taylor, your thoughts?
If he had anything on him,
it's been destroyed.
We can try DNA and dental,
but I can't promise you a hit.
In which case, we're looking
for forensic facial reconstruction.
Check missing persons.
We might get lucky.
I've found something here.
- You look tired.
- Oh, thank you, Mum.
You carry so much. I worry.
I know, but you shouldn't.
Listen, I wanted
to pick your brains about
Do you know anyone who might have
a grudge against Warren Leach,
like a petrol-bomb-his-farm
type of grudge?
Oh! Well, it would be easier
to name someone who wouldn't.
OK.
Do you know his missus, Yvonne?
Oh, yeah.
- I went to school with her.
- Oh.
Haven't seen her in years.
Yvonne O'Brien, she was back then.
She were a gorgeous girl.
Great dancer. She had her pick.
And she ended up with Warren Leach?
Oh, that were her father's doing.
He wanted the grazing for the cattle.
Those old families like the Leaches,
they just see women
as a form of property.
Mm-hm. OK.
Can you tell me a bit about 'em,
like the history of what they're like?
Well, it all started
with the Nine Virgins.
No, not-not Mum, like, recent history.
No supernatural witchcraft stuff, please.
Recent.
- Yes, please.
- OK.
Well, there was that time
we changed the tags of his cattle.
OK. What was that about?
Well, he changed the tags
from his more valuable cattle,
- who had TB
- Mm-hm.
..and he put them on his cheaper cattle
so that they would be the ones
to be destroyed instead.
And he paid a hefty fine for it, too.
Diane.
It's time you come home, don't you think?
This is my home now.
I get it.
I messed up.
Messed up?
Dave, you've been threatening me.
Look
I've made mistakes, and I'm sorry.
If you come back, things'd be different.
Oh, change the record!
Apologising, swearing things'll change!
I mean, usually,
people fall for it, don't they?
But not me.
I'm leaving Lisa and the kids.
It'll just be us.
Why do you think I'd believe
anything you had to say now?
That's the problem with you, Dave.
It was never your fault.
You got to hurt people
and then just walk away
with a smile and a promotion.
Careful what you say next.
But I've finally seen the real you.
Diane.
What we have is beautiful.
Special.
It's not something you wanna throw away.
That's why I'm here
fighting for us.
There is no us, Dave.
We're done.
What's up wi' you?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
- Erm I'm fine.
- It's not him again, is it?
Has he been contacting you, Branagh?
No, I just I didn't sleep well.
Nothing a coffee won't sort out.
- Do you want one?
- No, I'm good.
Are you sure you're all right?
I'm fine.
HE EXHALES
Any news on the burnt body?
Er, going off a tip from my mum,
I did find an article
in the Derbyshire Gazette accusing
Warren Leach of ear tag fraud.
And guess who wrote it.
- It's written by Martin Scargill.
- Mm-hm.
Now, Leach claimed the piece was
defamatory, threatened to sue.
The paper issued a partial retraction,
Scargill was let go, lost his job.
Is that enough motive
for Scargill to firebomb
Warren Leach's farm, though?
Do you know what,
I think it actually might be.
What if the burned body
belongs to someone
who was there that night with Scargill?
Martin Scargill had an accomplice?
Well, why not?
Did anyone else get sacked
for that article?
Let's have a look.
Right. So, Scargill is the only name
on the byline,
but I think
he had a photographer with him.
A staff photographer?
Let me check.
Jenny Westlake.
GASPS
- That must be how they met.
- Hm.
- Wait, she was a photographer?
- Yeah.
- I wonder
- What?
- Oh, there we go.
- Yeah.
Sir, can I show you something?
Sir, look at this.
This is the day that Jenny died.
Look at that.
Wide strap with a weave pattern.
And no camera bag was found.
Can I see that?
Look at that.
The strap matches the bruising
on her neck.
Martin Scargill lost his job
because of Warren Leach.
Which gives him motive
to firebomb Leach's farm.
Or get someone to do it for him.
The burnt body?
Martin Scargill blamed Maggie Crew
for his divorce to Jenny Westlake.
Both women were attacked.
OK, it's circumstantial,
but right now, he feels like
the missing link to everything.
Yeah, no, they could be right.
- Martin Scargill.
- He'll be at the bookies. Let's go.
Actually, guys, no, no, no,
you go on. I'll take this.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah. You've done enough.
All right, well, you still owe me
a bottle of whisky.
Huh!
BEN EXHALES
David Branagh, right?
Who are you?
Ben Cooper. I'm the one
that texted you to meet, not Diane.
I've got a message for you.
Diane doesn't want to see you.
Well, that's a private matter
between me and Diane.
Actually, I think it's a police matter.
DC Ben Cooper.
Anyone ever teach you
not to bring a knife to a gunfight?
Detective Chief Inspector David Branagh.
Outgunned and outranked, son.
Well, this isn't your force,
and you have no authority over me.
So as far as I'm concerned,
you're just a civilian,
and one who isn't welcome here.
You need to go away.
Go back to your wife
and your children and stay away.
Understand?
It's good enough for me.
Enjoy the drink.
DOOR CLOSES
Hello.
You all right?
Dave said you contacted him.
- I can't believe you did that.
- Somebody had to confront him.
You didn't have
to stick your nose in, Ben.
I had to do something.
And you didn't tell me he was
a chief inspector, by the way.
I was handling it. I mean,
what if this makes him escalate?
He won't!
He's got too much to lose, ain't he?
Yeah, well, I guess we'll find out.
Right, we know you lost your job
because of Leach.
Did you use a petrol bomb
to set fire to his farm?
No comment.
Do you wanna tell us
who was with you that night?
No comment.
OK. Did you attack Maggie Crew
and leave her for dead?
- No comment.
- Did you kill Jenny Westlake?
- No comment.
- No comment.
Right. Er Explain this to me.
Why was Jenny's camera bag
hidden in your car?
We now know that this was the bag
that was used to kill Jenny.
That was not in my car.
No, no, no, no,
the camera was in your car.
- No SD card. The camera was.
- That was not in my car!
That was not my f
That was not in my car!
Where's the SD card?
I'm being set up. I'm being set up!
This is a joke, man, I'm being set up!
- I'm telling you, I didn't do this!
- Come on, sit back down.
I can't believe this is happening.
I can't believe this is happening.
- OK.
- He's lying.
- I'm telling you, he's lying.
- OK.
Right, Martin, you had the motive.
And now we've found
you had the murder weapon.
Why don't you tell us
who that burnt body belonged to?
No comment.
I hope you paid for that.
Do you get a promotion
for policing snacks now?
Anyway, I saw you talking to a guy
in the car park the other day.
Oh, yeah? Yeah. That guy.
- Yeah, that guy.
- Er
Tim. No, Tom Marsden.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't forget a face.
- He works for the RSPCA.
- Yeah.
No, I got that from the caption.
Why did he wanna talk to you?
Well, he was a friend of Westlake.
He was gutted about her, and he, er
He wanted to ask us about our inquiry.
I told him I can't give him any
information, so he just went off.
Oh, CPS authorised charges
for Martin Scargill.
Murder, attempted murder, arson,
so, well done, you.
Tell Ben I've got his bottle of whisky.
Did Martin Scargill say
who the burnt body belonged to?
You are such a glass-half-empty
sort of girl, aren't you?
LAUGHS
HE EXHALES
BIRDSONG
BREATHES HEAVILY
Oh!
- BARKS
- Oh!
Oh!
BARKING CONTINUES
BARKING INTENSIFIES
PANTING
Oh! Oh!
Maggie. You said you wanted to meet here.
There was a dog barking,
and I smelled petrol.
And the noise and the smell
something clicked.
SHE SCOFFS
I wasn't attacked by Russell.
I came to protect him.
Protect him from who, Maggie?
The dogs.
We had to run.
There was so much noise
and and screaming.
GASPS: I'm I'm the one screaming!
Oh. Oh, the the man!
Oh, the man
- Who's the man, Maggie?
- No, it's not Russell.
He He bashed my head in,
and there's blood in my eyes.
I can't I can't see anything!
Is the man Martin Scargill?
Did Russell firebomb the farm, Maggie?
Oh, my God!
Is it something to do with his campaign?
My God! He's on fire.
He's on fire.
He's He was on fire.
The burnt body.
Oh! Oh!
So, the body that you found
in the woods was Russell?
Yes.
As we know, Russell Crew was in
a relationship with Jenny Westlake.
They both loved cats.
Both supported the same causes.
And they lived together.
When they broke up,
Russell had nowhere to go,
so he went to find his mother.
And as you can see,
it was an emotional reunion.
Yeah.
He told his mum that he was gonna
petrol-bomb Warren Leach's farm,
so she went with him to protect him.
Why? Cos of the ear tags?
No.
Look at this.
This is what started it all.
So, Martin Scargill found a cat
with horrific injuries.
I mean, he actually told us about it
in his first interview
because he was covered in scratches.
This poster is one of dozens around town.
Dozens of cats missing.
We believe these were
bait animals for fighting.
I should have twigged
the first time I saw Leach's dog.
It's not your typical farmer's dog,
but it is exactly the type of animal
you'd want for dogfighting.
Maggie told us that Jenny had
traced the cats to Leach's farm,
and that she was gathering evidence
by photographing the Leaches
every Sunday,
but that Russell wanted
to take a more direct approach,
which was to firebomb the farm.
We now know from Maggie's testimony
that Leach intercepted,
Russell caught fire
and must have burnt to death,
and it was Leach
who attacked Maggie that night.
Then, what, he killed Jenny
and took her SD card?
Yeah. Then moved her body
to the Nine Virgins,
near where he had dumped Russell's body.
And then he planted the camera strap
on Martin Scargill, who he hated.
Ah, yeah. It was Leach all along.
Sorry, I'm a bit lost.
Because we have charged Martin Scargill
and this case is closed.
No, he was framed and we fell for it.
OK, so we are going
on wild speculation now
because a cat has been found?
Well, I think we have enough
to at least justify
a warrant to search the farms.
So do I.
Jesus!
GROWLS
I warned you about trespassing.
We have a warrant to search
your property, Mr Leach.
You have no authority over me.
It's over.
You're just gonna
make things worse for yourself.
This land is cursed.
Things can always get worse.
GUNSHO
BARKING
All right.
OK, OK.
Good.
SHE CRIES
I've got it. I've got it.
I couldn't
I couldn't let him take you, too.
This must be the dogfighting ring.
How the dogs entered the ring.
Cheers, pal.
Right, so the cameras
are for live streaming.
A lot of money
to be made on the dark web.
Now, Leach would have needed
a sophisticated set-up
if he was to stream the fights.
But we've checked,
and we can't find any kit
that would suggest he was
responsible for the broadcasting.
How would it work, then?
Well, someone off-site
would be responsible
for capturing the raw video footage,
managing the stream.
Leach provides the content,
but he's definitely not the brains.
What are you thinking, Sarge?
Er This is a remote operation
..so whoever's behind this
is Russian, Albanian,
literally any organised crime group.
Plus they'll have seen us on these,
so they'll be disconnected.
They're long gone,
whoever it is, long gone.
All right, mate?
All right.
Did you find anything?
Oh, just this, er, SD card.
All right, give us it here.
I'll get this processed.
OK.
- Hello. All right?
- Thank you, mate.
How are you, Yvonne?
I have been silent my whole marriage.
I want to talk.
You can talk to us
down at the police station,
when you have a solicitor and
No, no, I want to talk to Ben.
It's been too many years.
You need to hear this from me.
Oh, God.
We should wait.
No, no, it's all right.
Go on.
I told Joe I couldn't be saved.
From Warren.
I warned him not to try.
He insisted he'd come to get me.
But Warren was waiting for him.
It was Warren.
Um
And afterwards, Warren called his man
and he came over
and cleaned up Boggart's Bridge.
His man got rid of the fingerprints,
footprints, tyre tracks, everything.
Erm
SHE SIGHS
Warren told me to get the blood out.
VOICE CRACKS:
But I couldn't bring myself to.
Thank you.
CHUCKLES WRYLY
He was trying to save her.
Gonna rescue her.
There's nothing in his PMBs.
Nothing in the logs.
Why was he hiding it?
Maybe he didn't wanna risk
Leach finding out.
Yeah, but he did, though, didn't he?
He did find out.
You know, Mum said his death was
connected to bad money and gambling,
and that describes Leach.
That's Leach and the dogfighting, innit?
Should have listened to her.
Should have listened, but I didn't.
And it's too late.
Everyone else is in shock,
and you're reading a book about
football like nothing's happened.
Thanks.
This is how I cope, if you must know.
I'm sure you'll think I'm stupid,
but reading about the Rams
helps to calm me down.
- Sorry. My bad.
- That's all right.
Have we had the photos taken off
Jenny Westlake's SD card yet?
Er No. No, no, no.
And you're not gonna get anything now.
Digital forensics shut shop on the dot.
Yeah, no, just stick it in the oven.
Yeah. 180, 30 minutes.
Yeah. OK.
And just make sure it's piping hot.
Because if you poison them kids,
you're gonna be cleaning up.
I really have to go, Todd Eland's
buying a round of drinks,
and I have never seen him do that before.
I've gotta go.
OK, thanks. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
OK. Sorry.
- Hold on, hold on.
- Oh, my God!
And Yes.
- Put that in the group chat.
- Yes!
SHE LAUGHS
Oh, do you know what it's like?
It's like, erm
It's like witnessing
a mythical creature in the wild.
It's like something
you've heard about all your life,
but you've never actually seen it.
And then there it is,
Todd Eland's wallet.
Jesus!
Can I? Can I do something nice
for you bastards
without getting roasted?
Did you put one on the bar for Joe?
Oh, of course, yeah.
Pint for Joe.
- Oh.
- Pint there, please.
OK.
- There you go, Mum.
- Thanks.
Thank you, love.
I thought closure
would feel better than this.
Well
we may have closure,
but we've been denied justice.
Warren Leach'll never have
to answer for what he did.
That's not gonna help, Mum.
Don't be so judgemental.
I'm not.
Just need to find a way
to process it, I guess.
Well
This is my process.
Joe belonged to us.
Warren Leach had no right
taking him away.
Dad hated a bully.
He was always gonna do something.
Never marry a hero.
Not if you want them to come home.
EXHALES SHAKILY
To Joe,
a beloved husband and a great dad.
Yeah.
Hiya. Tom, thanks for coming in,
I appreciate it,
and I won't take
much of your time, but
look
you were friends
with Jenny Westlake, is that right?
Yes.
I met Jenny through some fundraising
she did for the RSPCA.
She was extremely passionate
about animal welfare.
Did she ever mention the missing cats?
Yes. That's what kicked off
the special investigation.
Jenny noticed an unusual number
of cats going missing,
and she worked out that they were
being used as bait animals.
We actually know who was responsible
for Jenny's death.
Warren Leach?
That's information I can't divulge,
I'm sorry.
I guess you have Sergeant Eland
to thank for that.
Why do you say that?
He was our point of contact here.
- He knew Jenny?
- Indirectly.
He was very impressed with her tenacity.
He told me she'd make a great detective.
Todd Eland?
Yes.
Why do you seem surprised?
Tom What was
Jenny photographing up there?
Erm The men who were going
to the fights.
She said she had a whole rogues' gallery.
Erm Thank you, Tom.
Thanks for your time.
Driving licence. Cards.
Keys. Phone. Clothes.
Offerings. Crystals. Flowers.
The SD card weren't put in for evidence.
- All right, guys.
- Tough day?
Yeah. I'm OK.
My man.
You were wrong about Scargill,
but I'm a good sport.
- Come on.
- Much obliged. Thank you.
Is he, erm?
Is he gonna sue for wrongful arrest?
Well, he can try,
but, you know, it's not our fault
Leach planted evidence on him, is it?
Pint, Ben?
Ah, I'll wait till Diane gets here.
- She is coming?
- Oh, yeah. She's just delayed.
She's interviewing a guy from the RSPCA.
Guys, excuse me, I have to take a piss.
Five drinks would've been pushing it.
PHONE BUZZES
Yeah, it would.
Hey. Oh! Oh
We need to chat. Yeah?
What do you have to say?
Look, I'm your superior officer,
so you just be careful.
Yeah?
Oh, I'm always careful.
I followed the evidence.
Diane
..whatever you think you know,
you're wrong.
I only know what I saw on the SD card.
Look at you, eh.
Coming here and thinking
you're so clever.
Typical outsider.
You don't understand that
you're just upsetting the applecart.
What applecart?
History.
Things you don't respect or understand.
OK, I'll tell you what I understand.
You were in it
with Leach and the dogfights.
You interviewed Maggie, badly,
but we're all so used
to you underperforming,
no-one suspected it was on purpose.
You even tried to frame Martin Scargill.
You are the man in charge of it all.
The one Yvonne was warned about.
You're the devil.
Oh, you sound hysterical.
No, you do. You sound unfit for the job.
Just excuse us a sec.
Yeah.
You investigated Joe Cooper's murder,
and there wasn't a speck of evidence
because you cleaned that scene,
didn't you?
And you did it for Leach.
You've been lying to Ben's face
every day for the last five years.
Stop.
I did him a favour with that lie.
What are you talking about?
Joe Cooper was having an affair
with Yvonne Leach.
All right? He fancied her since school.
They were gonna run away together!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Joe Cooper, perfect cop, perfect daddy,
were gonna abandon his wife and his son.
He were no hero!
So, now what are you gonna do?
You gonna run and tell
your good friend Ben the truth?
Are you?
How do you think he might take it?
Because I think
he's gonna hate you for it.
I think he deserves to know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is a great idea (!)
Because all he and Isabel have left
are memories.
So, why don't you go
and destroy it, yeah?
That's for the best (!)
I'm arresting you for the murder
of Jenny Westlake.
HE SHUSHES HER
SHE GASPS
Oh!
Shut up and drive.
Think about what you're doing,
you won't get away with it.
Shut up.
I'm gonna text Ben
and tell him you hate it here.
You're going to Leeds.
I don't think anyone
would be looking for you.
- Ah!
- Ow!
HE GRUNTS
Argh! Argh!
SHE SCREAMS
Get off!
SHE SCREAMS
HE GRUNTS
Argh!
Stop!
You think you're better than me, Diane?
- GRUNTS
- You're just like her, aren't you?
You think you're better than me?
SHE GASPS FOR AIR
Ah.
Ah, I should have buried Jenny in
the slurry pit with the dead dogs.
I'm not gonna make
the same mistake with you.
GRUNTING
ELAND LAUGHS
Ah!
Ah.
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention
when questioned something
you later rely on in court.
OK.
Name your associates
in the dogfighting ring.
No comment.
These images were recovered
from an SD card
found in Warren Leach's farmhouse,
where we believe you stashed it.
The photos show a number of men
entering and leaving a dogfight.
No comment.
Is this a picture of you at the dogfight?
No comment.
Is this a picture of you approaching
Jenny Westlake at the Nine Virgins?
No comment.
Did you remove the SD card
and then put the camera bag
in Martin Scargill's car?
No comment.
In the case of the murder of Joe Cooper,
do you admit to perverting
the course of justice?
No comment.
Joe Cooper didn't die
of his injuries straightaway.
Was he still alive
when you found him, Todd?
Did you let him think
that you were going to save him?
Did he watch you as you cleaned up
the scene and as he lay dying?
Don't.
Don't you dare
..say, "No comment."
There was nothing I could do.
OK?
I swear to you.
I can't listen to this.
The IOPC have been informed.
He's out of our hands now.
Neutral force?
- Yorkshire.
- Yeah.
- Are you OK, boss?
- No, Tracy.
Very much not OK.
Is he round there?
- Ben, Ben. Ben!
- I just wanna talk to him
Ben. Ben!
It won't change anything.
He watched him die.
Yeah, but listen, he is in a hell
of his own bloody creation.
You do not need to join him.
- Made it extra strong for you.
- All right.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
I guess I thought he was my friend.
EXHALES
And I
..told myself it's just how he is,
you know?
"He's a good lad, really.
Deep down, he's got a good heart."
LAUGHS
Yeah.
Should've looked a bit more closely,
I guess.
Would've saw what you saw.
Can't blame yourself.
He made his own choices.
Yeah.
He didn't say anything
when he attacked you, did he?
No.
He was just interested
in saving his own skin.
Yeah.
EXHALES DEEPLY
Well, I don't suppose I'll ever get
the truth out of him now, will I?
Your mum were right about everything.
Oh, God!
Yeah, she'd love to hear you say that.
- What you having, usual?
- Yes, please.
Hiya, mate. Two pints
and a white wine, please.
- Mm-hm.
- Thank you.
Whay.
What a day.
Finally starting to understand
why you like it in here.
Ah, it's good.
It's good to see you
looking a bit happier, anyway.
This is what I'm usually like
when I'm not hiding from an ex.
Your man's not been in touch, has he?
I don't wanna jinx it,
but I think whatever you said
might have actually worked.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
I'm thinking of going
to the Nine Virgins tomorrow.
Leave some flowers for Jenny.
Yeah, that's a nice thought.
I can come with you if you like?
You know what, I'd appreciate that.
Cool.
- Oh. Thank you.
- Cheers, pal.
Thank you.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
One for the old man.
Love you, Dad.
