CHORAL MUSIC
DOOR OPENS
Lord, into thy hands I go.
I knew you'd come.
PHONE CHIMES
Oh
Oh, hello. Hmm.
I've got a match.
What?
What do you reckon?
I don't know, I
I don't know him, so
Let's see.
Er
We're being spied on.
Oh, yeah. Well, these guys probably
don't see many women.
What's with the dog?
It's in every photo.
-What have you got against dogs?
-He's trying too hard.
I never trust a man in
a turtleneck either.
Christ, you're picky.
Maybe that's why you didn't find
anyone at speed dating.
-Yeah, she's got a point.
-I'm not picky.
Maybe I've just decided
that casual dating's not
the way forward for me.
What, are you saving yourself
for the one?
I don't know. Maybe.
Bit of a strange one, this.
I mean, how would you know if
someone's the one?
Well, exactly. I mean,
I thought my first boyfriend was
the one,
but it turns out I just liked
his car.
Well, we were 17, you know,
it was a biggie.
So, where's the body?
Down there.
ELLIOT: - Good. I think
we're just about done here.
Brother Lucas Drummond.
CAMERA CLICKS
He was struck from the front
with a cylindrical blade
about 15 centimetres long
and five millimetres wide.
Oh, that's very precise for you.
Just trying to reach
your high standards.
So, what's this?
A candle spike?
Mm-hm.
So it's probably here
already. Right?
So, maybe the murder
wasn't premeditated.
It most likely punctured his liver
or his spleen.
An autopsy will confirm it,
but he probably didn't
die instantly.
There's no blood.
Er, there is,
but it's at an odd angle.
I mean,
it suggests that Brother Lucas
wiped the murder weapon
clean himself.
So, no fingerprints.
Why would he try
and protect his own murderer?
It's all a bit Last Supper,
isn't it?
-Yeah. So, who's Judas?
-Mm.
MONROE COUGHS
I'm the abbot here at St John's.
Father Colin.
I'm Detective Inspector Monroe.
This is DS Hunter,
Patience Evans.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you. Overall,
quite shaken up,
as I'm sure you can imagine.
Of course. Who found the body?
Brother Thomas. He's a novice.
He opens up the church
in the morning.
So, was the door still locked when
you got there?
It was.
How well did you know
Brother Lucas?
Erm, he's only been here
for two two months.
He was transferred from
another monastery.
Yeah.
Any revelations in the archives
about our unfortunate monk?
-Nope.
-Mm, well, I guess it makes sense. I mean, he's not a criminal.
Well, what is strange is there's
no record
of him in any administrative system.
So there's no national insurance
number or birth certificate.
Yeah, and there's no family or
anything mentioned in
the monastic records,
which is unusual apparently.
So, what? Our victim was using
a false identity?
-Maybe.
-Jesus. Do we know anything?
Well, we do know that
he was transferred
to St John's two months ago,
and before that he was here.
Yeah. And then in 2010 he joined
a monastery in
the Outer Hebrides,
in South Oo-ist?
-It's South U-ist.
-Yeah, that's what I said.
And then a few years later
he was ordained.
Yeah. And then around
the same time, look who turns up.
Oh, now that is shady.
I need you all in
the meeting room.
Now? They're quite busy, sir.
Yes. So am I.
We've had some really interesting
results from our local focus groups.
They want to know what you're doing,
who you are, and that you care.
I had no idea the job we do could be
boiled down to a
Mind map, sir.
Literally,
it's trust equals public confidence,
equals more offenders in jail.
Oh. So, we just do that
and then more criminals get
locked up?
Brilliant. Sorted.
Want a candied pecan?
Erm, no, thanks. So
Seriously, they are mind-blowing.
I got them from a farmer's market
in Wakefield. Here.
Yeah. No, I'm good. I'm good.
Yeah, go on, then,
I'll have one of them.
Right, right, guys, sorry,
can we just can we just?
Please, please,
everyone, we need to focus.
Sorry, Zinzi.
Basically, confidence in this police
station is an all-time low
-and, well
-LOUD MUNCHING
Shh!
Well, if you were pulling in
the same numbers as your old team
in Manchester,
that'd be a different story.
They'd be invented.
But we can turn this around.
What are you all doing this Sunday?
Erm, I don't know. Eating,
sleeping, avoiding my neighbour.
Not any more.
I've booked you a stall
at the local Viking Festival.
Oh, oh, cool.
"Celebrates York's ties
to Viking settlers."
Oh, thanks, Will.
That degree's really paying off.
Yeah, they do re-enactments
and they sell helmets.
OK.
Yeah, and it is
the perfect opportunity for
the people of York to meet you.
Well, thank you very much,
Zinzi.
That all sounds very, er, exciting.
And we will definitely all
be there.
-Yay!
-SHE CLAPS
Please wait here.
There he is. Father Shady.
Why don't you answer your phone?
The monastery is a place
for quiet reflection.
Why didn't you mention that
for ten years you were in
South Erst?
I don't, erm
The same monastery
as Brother Lucas?
Not here, please.
So, there's no record
of Lucas Drummond ever existing.
So, who was this man?
I never actually knew who he was.
I didn't need to,
I knew his soul.
His past was of no interest to me.
Do you know anything that could
help us find out who he was?
I don't know. I
There was someone he spoke of.
A woman. Katie, I think.
He said they were soulmates.
That's all he told me.
Just Katie? Not even a surname?
PHONE RINGS
-Monroe.
-How can a soul have a mate?
That's an entirely
conceptual entity.
Don't ask me.
I ain't got a clue, obviously.
Well, I just That suggests that
you've only got one chance.
So what if they live in
the Yucatan?
Why would they live in the Yucatan?
Or they're already married.
I'm not sure I'm following.
Well, I just want to know
howwhat do you do if you've
messed up your chance with someone?
Oh. This is about SOCO boy,
isn't it?
Look, it takes time to get over
Yeah, we need to get down to
the mortuary,
if you two have finished sharing
in the diary room.
HE SCOFFS
Scarring's well under way,
so must have occurred within
the last three to four weeks.
What's that all about?
Yeah.
Probably penitence or something.
Yeah, well, monks were
into self-flagellation
back in the day, weren't they?
Yeah. Yeah.
All a bit kinky if you ask me.
These lacerations, they don't look
like they were self-inflicted.
No, I agree.
So, what? This monk was tortured?
Have we heard anything back from
the monastery in South Uist?
Not what we were expecting.
Lucas Drummond was expelled
and came to York to atone.
What for?
Believe me, I've asked,
but they've gone quiet on me.
They only take calls at 3pm
on Wednesdays.
What? They can't do that.
Can you pull rank, sir?
You want me to pull rank on
the Pope?
Jake, contact the police
in South Wuist.
They shouldn't be allowed
to hide behind their religion.
Like, who do they think they are?
Steady on.
Before you go,
Zinzi gave me this rota
for the Viking Festival
on Sunday.
What's with the elephant in
the helmet?
Oh, I wish I knew.
I wish I knew what
the hell she was going on about
any of the time, to be honest.
Well, get ready for
an afternoon of soul-crushing,
-excruciating small talk with the general public.
-Mm.
-Here, look, you're on this.
-Am I?
Yeah, but don't worry,
you're with me.
-We'll just hand out leaflets all day.
-OK.
Why didn't you tell us that
Brother Lucas was thrown
out of his last monastery?
The Brothers are under
my care, Detective.
I have to respect their rights.
No, you have to respect the law.
-What's with the secrets, Father?
-There are no secrets.
Then why do I feel like
you're blocking us?
Anything you can give us would be
very helpful, Father.
Brother Lucas was
a deeply spiritual man
touched by God.
What do you mean?
He had visions. Apparitions.
Christ appeared to him.
Really?
He should never have been asked
to leave.
So, what happened?
The Vatican found
his claims egregious
and sent an investigation team
who concluded he was a fake.
What, and so he was out?
It was decided he was
best off elsewhere,
which was monumentally unfair.
When he had visions I I saw
him transform.
I never doubted him for a minute,
and invited him here
to take refuge.
So, not the safe haven that
you'd hoped?
No. He had troubles from
the very start.
Three weeks ago,
an inverted pentagram was painted on
Brother Lucas's cell door.
Wait, what?
Why didn't you tell us that before?
I'd hoped to keep it within our
community and not open us up to
Scathing public opinion.
I've found people can be quick
to cast dispersions.
-So, who did it?
-I don't know.
And it's a mystery how anyone could
have got into the monastery,
but someone clearly wanted
to let Brother Lucas know he wasn't
safe in St John's.
-We need another chat with our charming monks.
-Yeah.
I'm beginning to think this is
an inside job.
Oh, yeah. I mean,
who else could have got close enough
to paint a pentagram on his door?
He was quite a solitary soul,
Brother Lucas.
All I can say is he was
a very holy man.
An inspiration.
I looked up to him.
He believed in the purity of
the fast.
He hardly ate at mealtimes.
I saw him steal
a whole plate of food from
the kitchen one night.
His greediness was sinful.
That man was no saint.
Pretenders are worse than infidels.
And should pretenders be punished?
They're on their way
to hell either way.
Brother Lucas, he welcomed it.
I saw it with my own eyes.
How do you mean?
This monastery harbours secrets.
But it was Brother Lucas who allowed
Satan himself to enter.
OK. Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
Brother Swavek might not be
the most reliable witness.
According to Father Colin,
he's got dementia.
Mm. Still doesn't stop him doing
God's work.
Mm. Now,
my money's on Brother Matthew.
He clearly had it in for the victim.
The young lad's not off the hook.
He might have wanted
to help Lucas become a martyr.
Well, that would fit
with Brother Lucas wiping
the murder weapon clean himself.
-So, they're all suspects.
-Mm.
-Ever heard of Ultio Dei?
-Go on.
They're a fundamentalist group.
They've been trolling Brother Lucas
for the last couple of years.
They're in the archives.
There's been a number of cases.
Art vandalism,
attacks on abortion clinics,
that kind of thing.
Yeah. And some pretty punchy
comments in their online
chat forums.
I've got cybercrimes to have
a look at their IP addresses.
One of them's from St John's.
-May I?
-Yeah. I'll just move this blender.
-Why have you got a blender on your?
-Yeah, sorry.
Never mind.
Here, from Zephaniah,
"Brother Lucas is a con artist
and a liar."
"His very existence is a danger to"
"the Catholic faith."
Oh, tell us what you really mean,
Zephaniah.
BELL TOLLS
So, monks are online, are they?
Many study theology this way,
and some just like
the occasional treat from Waitrose.
Who logged on today at 10.51?
So, am I under arrest or?
Not yet.
But it's not looking good,
Zephaniah.
How long have you been
a member of Ultio Dei?
I'm not a member.
I just sympathise with their cause.
Were you involved in
Brother Lucas's death?
No. Of course not.
So, what, you were just
trolling him, were you?
You don't know anything about
the pentagram
on Brother Lucas's door?
It was just a warning.
And the whipping?
Just a warning too?
I just let them in.
That's all I did.
Who did you let in?
Ultio Dei.
A few of them came
and demanded to see him.
I didn't know they were
going to go that far. I swear.
Son, why would you help
these people?
Father, I believed he'd fallen.
At first,
I adored him, you know this.
I truly thought him to be chosen,
but
he made a mockery of his faith
and of us.
Mockery.
How?
Sometimes I followed him.
He met with a woman.
They seemed close.
He was lying to all of us.
Patience, hi.
I wanted to tell you in person,
I have the most brilliant news.
It's an amazing opportunity for you
and your community
at the Viking Festival.
Your clip did so brilliantly,
and you're obviously such
an asset to
the City of York Police,
so I booked you a little slot on
the stage.
Ah, why?
Well, I thought you could get up
and literally say,
like, a few words about
your journey.
-The number five?
-What?
Well, I'll be getting
the number five bus there.
No, I mean, sorry,
experience navigating
personal challenges,
working alongside the police force.
No, sorry. I don't think that
No, I'll stick something down
for you.
You'll be brilliant. Seriously.
I have total faith, honest.
See you Sunday.
Y
Er
- PHONE RINGS
- Baxter.
Sir, we're heading to
the address Brother Joe gave us.
What, the troll monk?
I've been talking
to cybercrimes about him.
We checked the address against
the electoral role.
Turns out one of the tenants was
a Katie Morgan.
Katie. Brother Lucas's friend.
Yeah, we're hoping so.
-Good. Keep me posted.
-Will do, sir.
Before you go. Callum Banks,
he was your reporting officer
in Manchester, right?
Erm, yeah. Anything else?
No, no, no. That's all.
Everything all right?
-Yeah, yeah.
-All right.
I don't know.
I've not seen her for a few days.
I'm I'm worried, actually.
So, that's unusual?
Well
She's had some issues
with drugs,
so sometimes she doesn't come home.
But she's never disappeared
for this long.
So, you think she's on a bender?
Maybe.
And you work with her?
At the hospital.
Are they aware of her problem?
She's been getting away with it,
but recently they've started
to notice.
Has she ever mentioned anyone called
Lucas Drummond?
No. Oh, I mean,
she has an ex called Lucas,
but that's Lucas Haynes, I think.
And, actually, he turned up here
a couple of weeks ago looking
for her.
What did he want?
I don't know.
She wasn't happy to see him.
They had a massive row.
He seemed like, I don't know,
bad news.
OK, well, thank you.
Thanks for all your time.
Please, will you let me
know if you hear anything?
Yeah, sure.
JAKE GRUNTS
-All right, Mr Universe.
-Oh. -HE CHUCKLES
You you wouldn't be saying that
if you saw me
with my shirt off.
Oh, I I don't
I wasn't I'm sorry, I wasn't
Anyway,
Katie Morgan's flatmate was right.
Lucas Haynes changed his name
in 2010,
right before he joined
the monastery in South
South Uist. Yeah.
Anyway, I've got Patience on it.
Cool. Oh, I opened a missing persons
case on Katie Morgan.
Good idea. All right,
then, get back to it. Chop chop.
- HE CHUCKLES
- All right.
So, Lucas Haynes turned up
in the files.
March 16th 2005,
he was involved in
an altercation at a bar.
Then he turned up a year later
in a violent dispute
with a cab driver.
-Ah. So Brother Lucas had a violent streak.
-Mm.
It's not looking good
for Katie Morgan.
It's home-made Sriracha. It's Thai.
OK.
Yeah, you've got to enjoy your food.
It's like sex,
it should stimulate all your senses.
Here. Careful though,
it's got kick.
No, thank you.
I've got everything I need here.
Believe me, it is life-changing.
What is that?
It's a pomegranate salad.
Yeah, just try it.
Er, I
I thought you based everything
on evidence.
How do you know you won't love it?
Fair enough.
That is quite nice, actually.
Ah.
Can I?
No, no, no, no. That's
That's all you're getting.
It's nearly finished.
-Hi.
-Hi. Two plates of food, you must be really hungry.
Oh, no, actually,
half of this is for Will.
Mm. Well, you know,
greed is a deadly sin.
I think I know where
Katie Morgan is.
BROTHER MATTHEW: -
His greediness was sinful.
That man was no saint.
I don't get it. I was certain
she'd be here somewhere.
-Yeah, me too.
-What makes you so sure?
Brother Lucas was seen stealing
food. We believed it was for Katie.
No, no, no. I would've
noticed something like that
happening right under my nose.
I'm sorry, I just don't know how
it would be possible.
Brother Swavek. Brother Swavek.
Er, you remember DI Monroe.
Do you recognise this woman?
-The serpent.
-What do you mean?
Brother Lucas brought her here
to poison us.
To drag us all to hell.
Father Colin?
It says there's a granary here.
Er, yes. Yes, there used to be.
It got bombed during the war.
It's all a part of the library now.
I need to see it.
You can go straight through
to the kitchen.
Nobody ever really goes up
there any more.
The bookcase has been moved.
I don't think so.
It's just a bookcase.
There's something unusual
about this.
What is it?
No, this is the way in.
DOOR UNLOCKS
Wait here.
Jake.
Hello?
Hello?
There's a key.
Oh, Christ.
Katie Morgan.
I can't believe he's dead.
When he didn't come back
SHE SNIFFLES
I tried to leave,
but he
he'd locked me in.
He was gone for days,
no-one could hear me calling.
The bookcase would've
made it soundproof.
That must have been terrifying.
Why was he holding you hostage?
Hostage?
No,
Lucas was helping me to
I needed to dry out.
Drugs.
I had to get out my flat.
It was dangerous.
My flatmate, she was
She was my dealer. She
She's very
manipulative.
She had absolutely no interest
in getting me clean.
Do you mean Joanne?
Yeah.
So, what exactly was your
relationship with Brother Lucas?
Friends
these days,
since he found God.
But
I met him in A&E,
he came in one night,
he'd been in a fight.
He was a mess but
I don't know, he seemed more
broken on the inside.
You wanted to help him.
Yeah.
And then we fell in love.
In spite of his demons,
he had a good heart.
But he never hurt you.
No. God, no.
No, he had a temper, sure.
But never with me.
He only ever tried to protect me.
-And then he vanished.
-Yeah, for 15 years.
And then he turns up
out of the blue a few weeks ago.
I was shocked but he was, well,
he was still the man
I fell in love with.
It's cheesy, I know, but
he had the other half.
Sorry, Miss Morgan,
Brother Lucas,
was he your soulmate?
The one, or?
I guess so.
Even though that
he broke your heart?
He was still my person.
Well, if you're meant to be
with him, then tell him.
I think it's a two-way street.
He should tell her.
Well, I think you should play
the field.
That's what I do.
I don't like to pin myself down.
Yeah. I mean, I think that's
That's all goods suggestions, guys.
Although I do like to be pinned
down, I've recently discovered.
Cool. I think Alex is right.
If you think that
he's the one that got away,
then you should tell him.
How?
Well, what do you want to say
to him?
Er
I think, well
Well, just that timetables
don't matter
and I don't care that we're not
the same.
I think it makes it
more interesting.
Or that, well,
I like that he likes my pets.
Or that he can't keep
a cactus alive.
- LAUGHTER
- And
Well, that he's still my person
and I want to be with him.
But what would I say?
That. That.
SIREN WAILS
-Get your hands off! Ow, ow!
-Look, Joanne, calm down.
Don't escalate this.
PHONE RINGS
-Well?
-Yeah, we got her.
It looks like she's been dealing to
more clients than just Katie, too.
Don't think she'll be coming home
any time soon.
Well, good, good. Oh! God.
Boss, you OK? What's happened?
No!
What's happening?
Do you need me to come round?
No, I just
I oversalted the Sriracha. It's
SHE SIGHS
So, you've hit a dead end
with Lucas Haynes?
Yes, but I have found something
on Katie Morgan.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah, a case. So, she's registered as an A&E nurse,
so I was able to narrow down
my searches.
So, 2009,
a doctor at the hospital
she worked at,
Robert Hargrove, was attacked.
He died from his injuries
and they didn't find
the perpetrator.
Right. What's this got to do
with Katie Morgan?
So, she was listed as a witness.
She claimed not
to have seen anything,
but this was in the clenched fist of
the victim like he tried
to grab it off his attacker.
Is that the other half
of Katie Morgan's necklace?
Well, it looks like it. I mean,
it doesn't mention Lucas Haynes,
but given the evidence,
I think he's guilty of
the murder of Robert Hargrove.
Yeah, hey, I think we need to speak
to Katie Morgan again.
Look, we know that Lucas attacked
Robert Hargrove
and that you were a witness.
We went through this years ago.
I didn't see anything.
Obstruction of justice,
Miss Morgan, is a crime.
Lucas is dead, Katie.
Don't you want to help us find
his killer?
That's all we're trying to do here.
OK. It's
It's just hard to
Take your time.
Robert Hargrove,
everyone knew he could be handsy
and inappropriate.
One night, it was late, I was
waiting for Lucas.
Hargrove started in on me like
he was flirting with me,
trying to grab me, but
like it was a joke,
but it wasn't.
-And I tried to laugh it off.
-It's OK.
But then he
he pushed me against the wall
and he forced himself on me.
But then Lucas turned up before
he could do anything.
And yeah, he lost it.
Lost it?
He didn't mean to kill him.
He was just trying
to stop him from hurting me.
So, maybe Brother Lucas was murdered
as revenge
for killing Hargrove all those
years ago. It's a surprise twist.
Well, 20% of the homicides in the UK
are motivated by revenge,
so it's not necessarily a surprise
to me, DCI Baxter.
On the other hand, he didn't seem
like a very popular individual.
I'm not sure how many people would
want to avenge him.
You found a younger brother,
didn't you?
Yeah, Leo Hargrove.
28-year-old with a chequered past.
A few stints inside for petty stuff.
Seems to have fallen in with
the wrong crowd.
Looks like a troubled soul.
-Isn't that?
-That's the delivery guy.
Yeah.
Hey, you.
Can we talk to you for
a minute, please, mate?
City of York Police.
Oi, stop!
I said stop!
Ugh
Argh! Ugh!
Oh, he's locked himself in.
And he won't be in there alone.
No. The vespers.
What do we do?
Erm, the architectural plans.
So, er, yes
There's a crypt underneath
the church.
-It could lead to another entrance.
-All right.
Erm
Er
Which way?
Over there?
Er OK, no,
our access point should be
a lot further down there.
That must lead to the sacristy,
but I'm not sure it's possible
to get into the church like that.
I'll go and check it out.
You guys stay with Patience.
All right. Come on.
You harboured my brother's murderer.
You're all in on it, weren't you?
Leo? Leo, Leo, Leo, Leo.
Look, look, look, it's OK, it's OK.
It's OK. It's OK, look, Leo.
Please, Leo, we are
We are here to help.
Ha! Help me? Yeah,
where were you years ago when I
when I begged you to find
my brother's murderer, eh?
I was just a kid.
And when he died
everything went to hell.
An eye for an eye.
Isn't that right, Father?
Look, you were hit hard
by your brother's death, Leo,
and that is
completely understandable.
But if you kill 12 innocent
Yeah, but they're not innocent,
though, are they?
They let a man get away
with murder.
Oh, my son, Brother Lucas didn't get
away with anything.
Atonement became his life's work.
Our demons,
they join us here at
the monastery.
We must answer to them
and to ourselves.
LEO SOBS
Don't move! Don't move!
Do you want to know what he said
to me when I stabbed him?
SPIKE PIERCES
"Will you forgive me?"
Then he wiped
the spike clean of my prints.
Where was his anger? Hey?
Leo? Leo, look at me, mate.
I'm sorry.
You do not have to do this.
Look at me, Leo. Look at me.
LEO PANTS
LEO: Get off me! Get off me!
Hello, cheers.
Hi.
-Hello, City of York Police.
-City of York Police.
City of York Police, thank you.
City of York Police, thank you.
City of York Police, thank you.
Hey.
Hi.
Erm
Patience?
It's time for your slot on stage.
-What? - You ready?
-No. What? Sorry, no, I don't think that I'm
-Oh, don't worry. - Erm

SHE CLEARS THROA
All my life I've preferred
to be on my own,
ever since I was small.
I never thought that I'd be able
to be part of a team.
But it turns out that all I needed
was the right team.
Working alongside
the City of York Police
has been one of
the most incredible experiences
of my life.
They work so hard
to keep our streets safe.
Well, I mean,
most of them are single
because they can't maintain
a work-life balance.
Doesn't matter. Erm
They're brave, honest,
and kind people.
And I'm so proud
to have them on my side
and I think you should too.
Thank you.
