[chilling music]
[group laughing]
You'd think one of you would help me with the booze.
[group cheering]
[mellow music]
And the best bit is, she really wanted me.
Stop it.
And it was right here in the kitchen.
[mellow music]
Allie, I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry.
Yeah, go to bed Rick.
Go to bed.
[tense music]
[Phillip] You knew exactly what you were doing.
How dare you.
[indistinct arguing]
Has anyone seen Rick?
No.
I'll go and wake him.
[tense music]
[door knocking]
Rick, you awake?
[Annie gasping]
[cup smashing]
[suspenseful music]
[mellow music]
[Passerby] Good morning.
[mellow music]
[Officer] All right?
[Policeman] Good morning.
Who's that from?
Here's more for you Mark.
Now Kenny, you're secret Santa.
Oh, why me?
Oh. 'cause I know how much you love it.
The names are all in there.
-[Kenny groaning] -[DCI Stanhope chuckling]
That's the spirit.
Kenny's secret Santa everyone.
[office members cheering]
[Aiden] It's still under 10 quid, right?
Aye.
It better be.
Ho, ho, ho, come on, come on.
-Morning. -Ah, Billy.
Now, you all know Billy from the front desk,
PC Billington.
He's on secondment to CID for a month,
he's requested this department for some reason.
I wanted to learn from the best.
Oh, nobody likes a suck up, eh.
Boss, boss.
Superintendent Watkins is on the phone,
he wants a word.
Super, what's he want?
Well, I'll take it in here.
Your name's in the hat.
[Billy] Thanks.
Yep.
You got your dad's suit?
It's my brother's.
Billy, I've got a very important job for you, son,
it involves milk, two sugars and a tea bag.
There appears to have be a fatality on your home turf,
Holy Island
A fatality, sir?
Cause of death sir?
[Superintendent] Suicide, hanging.
I need you to get there as soon as you can.
Oh, well how do we know it's a suicide, sir?
[Superintendent] That's what the informant told us,
and as yet we have no reason to think otherwise.
The deceased Rick Kelsall will have a national profile.
Ah, so there might be press interest.
[Superintendent] Not yet, but there will be.
We wouldn't want it to look like
we haven't done our jobs, would we?
-Well, I always do. -[Superintendent] Bye.
All right, listen up everyone,
there's been an unexplained death on Holy Island,
of all places.
Possible suicide.
And Superintendent Watkins wants us to take a look at it.
He said he's a celebrity, Rick Kelsall,
I've never heard of him.
Oh yeah, no, he's definitely famous,
I grew up watching him.
Didn't he lose his job a couple of weeks ago?
I used to watch his travel programmes.
Aye, and that cooking one.
Yeah, got it.
Morning Sunrise's co-host Rick Kelsall,
forced to leave over accusations of sexual harassment.
That could be a motive for suicide.
Ah, now first lesson Billy,
don't jump to conclusions before we've even seen him.
Otherwise, you might miss the obvious.
Oh, the tides in.
We'll have to go by boat.
Aiden, I'll need you to drive me motor over,
and get Paula to go with you.
I'm on it.
Don't scratch it, go easy on the clutch
and don't get a ticket.
[horn blowing]
[mellow music]
-Morning Jac. -[Jac] All right?
[door knocking]
I'm here about the fatality pet, DCI Stanhope.
Oh, I'm Anelade Law, come in.
I was the one who found him.
Hey, that must have been a shock.
Now, did you know the deceased?
Yes, he was our friend.
Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
If you could just show me.
Yeah, he's in his bedroom.
Now, I'd like you all to wait here while I take a look.
Now, have any of you been into the room?
No.
[Anelade] It was clear he was dead.
Thanks.
[Louisa] Thank you.
[tense music]
[phone ringing]
[Aiden] Yes ma'am.
[DCI Stanhope] Aiden, you on your way?
[Aiden] I should be with you shortly,
Paula's not far behind, have you seen him?
[DCI Stanhope] Well, it looks like he hanged himself.
Right, so what's the but?
[DCI Stanhope] Well, there's mud on the bed,
it looks like somebody stood on it.
Well, that would've been him.
No, he's barefoot and his shoes are clean,
and I can't see a note.
This doesn't feel right.
Annie Laidlore, L-A-I-D-L-O-R-E.
Phillip Robson.
Louisa and Sam Hampton.
[Sam] Hampton.
Anyone else staying here?
No, it was just the five of us.
And you are certain none of you went into that room?
Right.
What do you think happened here?
Oh, it's obvious, he's killed himself.
No, he was different last night,
we should have picked up on it,
we've known him long enough.
Oh, we were all at school together.
He was drunk.
How were we to know?
Annie's right, he wasn't quite himself,
he was trying so hard to have a good time.
Can you think of any reason at all
why he might have done this?
No.
Did he mention losing his job?
If you mean those ludicrous things he was accused of,
they were a pack of lies.
So you all went to school together?
Chemist and Grammar Sixth form,
that's where we all became friends.
We all came here for the first time in 1977.
Not all, don't rewrite history.
You wanna say something Sam?
He's dead.
That fella in...
Rick love, Rick.
Don't worry about it Sam, it's fine.
Look, the thing is, we all came here,
apart from Louisa in 1977.
It was a sixth form residential called Only Connect.
We knew of each other before, but not really.
Coming here changed our lives,
we had a brilliant teacher.
Oh, she was amazing.
Ms. Marshall, Judy, she was young, passionate, idealistic.
And sexy.
Judy was very sexy [laughs].
She wanted the weekend to bond us,
bring us together.
And we've come back here every five years since then.
Oh, well the bonding certainly worked.
If you could give me the name of the deceased's next of kin.
That'd be Charlotte, his ex-wife.
Charlotte Thomas.
Yes, she was here the first weekend,
until her dad came and took her back home to Heskett.
Heskett?
Charlotte Thomas of Heskett?
Is her father Isaiah Thomas?
You know him?
Hm.
[mellow music]
Billy.
Well, he's on the ground floor,
straight through the kitchen.
[Paula] Great.
Oh, you're not your normal cheery self,
I'm meant to be going to a Christmas market today,
but here I am.
Well, it's a few weeks yet,
I'm sure there'll be another one.
Now, have you scratched me motor?
What?
Of course not.
Right, come here.
Well, they all seem to think it's suicide.
Well, did he mention losing his job to them?
Well, only to say they thought the allegation was false.
But listen to this, his next of kin is his ex-wife,
Charlotte Thomas, Isaiah Thomas's daughter.
[Aiden] You're joking.
I'm not.
Rick Kelsall is related
to one of the biggest crime families in the Northeast?
Hmm, isn't that interesting, eh?
[mellow music]
The rest of the party
should have vacated the building hours ago.
They all said they didn't come in here,
but if you find evidence that they did,
well, that's something, isn't it?
Hmm.
[DCI Stanhope] Have you worked out it's not suicide yet?
What makes you say that?
His phone's on charge and there's mud on the bed,
presumably from someone standing on it.
Hmm, I hadn't got to that yet.
And in answer to your question, of course I have.
When we lifted him down,
I noticed a lack of V-shaped bruising around the ligature,
indicating he was hanged after death.
I told you.
What was the cause of death?
Suffocation,
I found orange fibres in both his nose and mouth.
Ah, the cushion.
There are traces of what appear to be
saliva and mucus on it,
I'll be able to confirm it in the lab.
So time of death?
Rough estimate between one and 4:00 a.m.
Could they have got in through any of these windows?
They're all locked shut.
The keys are in the bedside drawer.
We've dusted, but it doesn't look disturbed.
Right, get onto the office,
get Kenny to inform the Super,
and I want everyone here checked out.
[Aiden] Ma'am.
Thanks Paula.
You can't leave, I'm sorry.
You can't force us to stay,
it's not our fault Rick did this
Pet, you're going nowhere love, none of you are.
Your friend didn't commit suicide after all,
he was murdered.
And you four are my lead suspects.
Who got here first yesterday?
I did, I arrived here Thursday
and stayed with a friend on the island.
The friend's name?
Sid Sinclair, I knew him through work.
Travelled up from Catford,
and I arrived here 2:30 p.m. on the dot.
Yeah, and what work's that?
I'm a vicar, was, recently retired.
It's absurd to think one of us could have done it,
we were his closest friends.
Who gave you the keys?
There was a set left in a safe place out front,
and they're in the kitchen along with a spare set.
Just two sets?
[Phillip] Yes.
And what time did the deceased get here?
Around four.
He'd been staying at his father's old house
since Tuesday over in Cleve.
Charlotte wanted to kill him.
His ex?
Aye, she told us, remember?
No darling, that was years ago when they split up,
he broke her heart, she didn't mean it, she was upset.
-Because of his affairs. -Yes.
This is ridiculous, none of us would've killed Rick.
Well someone did, and since this is now a murder inquiry,
you're all gonna have to stay here until further notice.
Is that clear?
Nobody leaves the island.
[mellow music]
Jac, any information about the deceased?
[Jac] Richard Kelsall known as Rick,
he owns a three bed muse house in Bloomsbury, mortgage free.
And what's that worth?
[Jac] Two and a half million, plus the house in Cleve.
That'll be his dad's.
[Jac] I called his agent but her phone's off.
Mark, what about bank records, phone records?
[Mark] The wheels are in motion ma'am.
Right, and Charlotte Thomas?
I've got her details there, she lives in an old pub.
There's a yoga studio downstairs, a flat above it,
it's in Heskett.
All right, can you send those details over Kenny?
I can't hear you nodding your head Kenny?
Yes ma'am, I'll send them now.
Right, I'll see you all later.
[mellow music]
I'm so sorry pet, he died sometime last night,
he was found this morning by one of his friends.
He was only here yesterday.
[DCI Stanhope] He was here?
He stayed on Thursday,
couldn't bare being at his dads any longer.
Did he say why?
It wasn't a happy place for him,
clearing through his dad's papers was just too much.
Do you have the keys to his house?
[Charlotte] Aye.
Could we have them love?
[Charlotte] Oh, all right.
So were you still in a relationship with Rick?
Sadly not.
But I'd have had him back like a shot.
It was strange,
he kissed me on Friday morning before he left.
He didn't normally do that, he was on edge.
Thanks love.
What time did he leave?
About 11, he was going to see someone,
but he didn't say who.
Now, I've been with his friends from the reunion.
Well, I wouldn't have put them together.
Oh, they were very different back then,
apart from Rick, he never changed.
Phillip was a punk, wanted to head on the establishment.
Sam and Louisa were gonna have their own school,
Annie was gonna have a dozen children with Daniel.
Who's Daniel?
Her boyfriend back then, Daniel Rede.
As in Rede Holiday Parks.
Aye.
He was at the first Only Connect.
I hated that weekend,
everyone talking about their feelings, little secrets.
You weren't close to the group then?
Not once the marriage was over,
I never understood why they keep going back.
It's so morbid after what happened with Isabelle.
Who's Isabelle?
Isabelle, Louisa's sister,
she died at the first reunion, 1982.
How'd she die?
She argued with Rick and drove off along the causeway,
but the tide came in.
She got a mile across and then got caught, she drowned.
Do you see much of your dad these days.
He is in a home,
before you start insinuating anything.
I have nothing to do with my father's line of work.
You know she's right, it is morbid,
why go back to a place where someone drowned?
And, why didn't her sister Louisa mention it?
Well, it's over 40 years ago, it's not relevant.
Everything's relevant until it isn't.
Well, at least we know there was something going on with him
on the day he died.
Everyone close to him said he was behaving differently,
a bit off.
We just gotta find out why.
Kenny, did you get anywhere
digging into this sexual harassment claim?
Nothing on the system, ma'am.
Her name's Eliza Jones,
all I can find is this one article.
Says Rick got her alone in his office,
hugged her and kissed her.
He's the presenter and she's work experience,
that's an abuse of power.
She also mentioned she'd heard that others
hadn't gotten away so lightly.
Have you spoken to this journalist?
Not yet, he's avoiding me.
No, well when you do find out why
it was never reported to the Met.
I also chased up the TV company,
but they won't talk without the CEO's say so
and he's in New York.
What about the agent?
Her phone's still off, she's a one woman show
with a handful of high earning clients.
Oh well when you do contact her, let me know.
Now then, according to his ex, Charlotte Thomas,
he was meeting someone on Friday morning.
Any idea who or where?
There's no ANPR, it's too rural.
Well we know he was at his dad's place in Cleve
from Tuesday to Thursday, so ask around,
talk to the neighbours.
Billy caught Annie and Phillip arguing,
said it was heated and wanted you to know.
Did he?
I could just get back there before the tide comes in,
can I trust you to hold the fort here?
You trusted me with your Land Rover.
[mellow music]
They've gone to the chapel ma'am.
They said it's a rule of staying here,
they got 20 minutes of private reflection a day there.
Oh, is it now?
I thought it would be all right,
it's nowhere near the deceased's room.
And you didn't think to follow the murder suspects?
[Officer] Well, I'll stay here then, shall I ma'am?
[tense music]
Phillip?
Louisa, I'm looking for Annie.
She's still inside.
[mellow music]
Annie.
Hey, I'm sorry to disturb you pet,
but Annie, I've got a couple of questions I need to ask.
You see, my young colleague
said he saw you arguing with Phillip,
could you tell me what that was about?
He and Rick argued after we'd gone to bed,
I didn't hear what about.
Rick was trying to calm Phillip down,
Phillip was angry.
It wasn't unusual, this happens a lot.
So why were you and Phillip arguing?
I was asking him about it, he got defensive,
and I kept pushing him.
Well, I'll catch up with Phillip in the morning,
have a chat.
So can I ask you about you and Rick?
'Cause I can see that you were close.
Well,
he was my first boyfriend, only lasted a month,
but we got something much better from it, friendship.
Did you know Rick stayed with Charlotte on Thursday night?
[Annie] Did he?
Hmm, she said he was
on edge, not himself.
Well, I could tell he was vulnerable last night,
he was masking, drinking, being loud.
I thought that's why he said sorry to me,
he said he was celebrating.
Celebrating what?
His name had been cleared
and he was going back to his book.
He'd written the first chapter and he was keen to finish it.
What was it about?
It was autobiographical, about us when we were young,
what shaped us, our friendships.
He was calling it 1977 until...
Until what?
He'd given it a different title.
So what was the new title?
1982, the year of our first reunion.
And also the year Isabelle drowns.
You know?
Aye, I know.
He said it would be about his secrets.
What secrets?
Later I pushed him on it,
but all he'd say was that Louisa would finally find out
why her sister drove away, why Isabelle drowned.
[tense music]
[door knocking]
[DCI Stanhope] Billy, shake your leg.
Billy.
Sorry.
Are you not up yet?
Uniform's about to leave,
we need to get over to Pilgrim's House,
and you need to find out if there are any more keys.
I need to talk to Phillip, so come on,
would you get a move on?
Yes ma'am, thanks for the breakfast,
I'll eat it on the way.
You enjoying that?
Yeah, thanks ma'am.
[DCI Stanhope] Anything?
They're not upstairs, but their things are up there.
Oh.
[phone ringing]
He's left his phone.
The chapel, that's where they'll be.
[tense music]
[Billy] There's no sign of them.
[woman laughing]
[Phillip] Oh, oh, oh.
[group frolicking]
Do you fancy a dip?
-What? -No, thank you, I can't swim.
[tense music]
Phillip.
Hey, Phillip come on, get your clothes on,
we need to talk up at the house.
[mellow music]
Oi.
[mellow music]
So you do that every reunion, do you?
Go for a dip.
No, first time.
Oh, celebrating your friend's death then?
We were celebrating his life,
he used to do it, which is why Rick was so youthful,
despite his alcohol consumption.
He was like a brother,
just less good at staying in touch.
So is that why you were arguing with him
after everyone had gone to bed?
Nah, that was nothing.
And nothing to do with his book, 1982?
Yeah, not much gets past me pet.
Oh.
I thought it was exploitative.
Why?
Oh, it was obvious,
he was gonna use Isabelle's death to make more sales.
Are you saying you think her death
might not have been an accident?
Of course it was an accident,
she drove straight out there, it was tragic.
Who else was here in 1982?
Apart from Isabelle,
me,
Rick,
Sam and Louisa,
Annie and Daniel.
Daniel Rede?
[Phillip] Aye.
You still in touch with him?
No, when he broke up with Annie, we chose Annie.
-[phone ringing] -Rick was quite glad.
Excuse me pet.
Go on.
I'm meeting Rick's agent, Isalia Bertrand,
she was due to meet him this morning.
It seems that she didn't know that he was dead
and I didn't enlighten her.
[DCI Stanhope] Well, make sure you go easy on her.
[Aiden] Will do boss.
Oh and Aiden,
get her to give you what she's got of the book.
Okay.
Are we finished?
For now.
I'm sorry, I've only packed enough medication for two days
and Sam's gonna miss this next dose.
It doesn't matter pet, I'm fine
It does Sam, because in three hours you won't be fine.
No, you can go,
but I will need to talk to all of you again.
I'll speak to you soon.
We'll drop you in the village.
Are you staying on the island?
Aye, with Sid, my friend's house.
Well, that may be the case Mark,
but Annie Laidlore said the books all about them
and that lass who died.
So we need to look into everyone
who was at that first reunion in 1982,
I'll send you over a list.
[Mark] Yes ma'am.
And Jac, how are we doing with the production company?
They're claiming they can't
get hold of anyone over the weekend.
Yeah, well I don't care it's a Sunday.
I mind if it's Sunday.
Kenny, I need you to check out
Charlotte Thomas' finances.
And Jac, before I go, I want you to ring around
all the pubs and hostels on the island.
Get them and their bar staff
to a compile list of everyone who was in on Friday night.
[Jac] Ma'am.
[mellow music]
Oh, look, find yourself a desk Billy.
Sorry.
Get out from under my feet.
Any news Jac?
[Jac] The pub was full of regulars.
Yeah, but not there.
[Billy] I'm sorry.
A few tourists stayed over,
just one woman at the Star not accounted for,
I'm waiting to hear back from the barmaid
to get description.
Yeah, good work Jac.
Aiden, did this agent give you what she's got of the book?
It's only the first chapter but she's sending it over.
She said he was eager to finish writing it,
driven was the word she used.
Have you mentioned the lass who drowned?
Isabelle Hall, no.
I got the impression it was about something
much closer to home.
Ma'am, that was Paula, the postmortem's done.
Ah, right, let's go.
And you'll tell me all about it on the way.
Kenny look after Billy.
Milk, two sugars, yeah, I know.
He was asphyxiated to death
and it was staged as a hanging.
There was considerable alcohol in his system,
he was probably in a deep sleep when it happened.
Well obviously neither of the women
could have lifted him into position on their own.
Or Sam, realistically only Phillip
could have done it on his own.
But it could have been two of them.
Or all of them.
What about the mud on the bed cover?
No identifiable footprints I'm afraid,
they've done a fairly good job
of clearing up after themselves.
But going by the penetration of soil through the cotton,
we have proof that something very heavy was on the bed.
Like someone standing holding him up.
Exactly.
Can you be more accurate with the time of death?
Between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m.
And the island was accessible from the mainland until two,
so get uniform to talk to everyone on that main road
and see if anyone saw or heard anything.
Thanks Paula.
I haven't finished.
There was no DNA on the dressing gown cord apart from his,
same with the cushion.
There is this, it was in his room,
but it's not his fingerprints.
Along with this,
a single hair found on Mr. Kelsall's pyjamas,
it's a DNA match with Louisa Hampton.
[tense music]
All right, I've got
five minutes before interviewing Louisa.
Any news?
Yeah, Rick's phone records are in,
we're running the numbers he called in the last week,
that's Louisa's.
Well thanks Mark.
Kenny, what about the door-to-door
for the road leading onto the causeway?
Well, someone heard a car
leave the island about one in the morning,
another one arrived about 10 minutes later.
Well, either one of those could be important,
see if you can track them.
And Jac, what about this mysterious woman at the pub,
have you heard back from the barmaid?
Not yet, still chasing it, ma'am.
Report into Isabelle Hall's death,
there's nothing suspicious.
I spoke to the officer involved at the time,
he's retired now but remembered it well.
And what was his take on it?
He said it was an odd thing to do drive off,
but she left of her own free will,
post-mortem showed nothing in her system.
So what did Rick mean when he said
he was telling the truth about why she died?
Louisa Hampton's ready,
she's brought a husband with her.
Well, he'll have to wait outside,
get someone to sit with him.
And what about this lass he's accused of assaulting,
what's her name?
Eliza Jones.
Like looking for a needle in a haystack,
still no response from her journalist.
Ah well, keep trying.
And Billy, keep an ear out for the phones,
special job.
Yes ma'am, thank you ma'am.
I'm sorry, I know I should have told you
I spoke to Rick privately.
[DCI Stanhope] Ah, you should have done pet.
I didn't want Sam to know.
Why not?
It was about him.
I can't do it, I can't look after Sam alone,
we can't afford a carer.
So on Friday I asked Rick if he'd pay for one.
And what did he say?
He'd transfer the money the next day.
You know the first thing I thought
when Annie said he was dead?
That he wouldn't be able to help us anymore.
Your hair was found on Rick's dressing gown.
I was upset, he hugged me, that's all.
We were friends.
Did Sam know he hugged you?
He's not the man he was,
his dementia makes him insecure.
Now let me ask you something else,
why didn't you mention your sister died
at that first reunion?
'Cause it was decades ago.
Only Rick told Annie he was going to
reveal the truth about why she drowned.
What did he mean by that?
What Annie said, he was drunk,
playing the big detective.
There was no secrets,
she drove off and drowned.
Now we know she argued with Rick before driving off,
what about?
I presume she made a play for him,
she was a flirt, she flirted with Sam,
Rick, Phillip.
Did Sam like her?
No, and she hated that.
He was the only one of my boyfriends didn't fall for her.
Sam wants to talk to you.
About what?
He said he'd only tell you,
he said he saw someone on Friday.
So who was it you saw pet?
You told Louisa you saw someone.
Charlotte,
outside the window
just before 10,
she was watching us.
Charlotte Thomas, are you sure?
I know what Charlotte looks like,
she disappeared when she saw me looking, but I saw her.
Why didn't you tell us this before?
I tried, I told you it was Charlotte,
Charlotte killed him.
Okay.
Sam Hampton has placed Charlotte Thomas at the scene.
Now, if she was there we're looking at
a very dangerous family.
Her father, Isaiah Thomas, was suspected of
running drugs and firearms across the northeast.
He had a string of companies,
all very handy for laundering money.
His wife and two sons are deceased,
leaving Charlotte and her younger sister, Ellie.
He was put into a care home two years ago.
[DCI Stanhope] So what else do we know about her?
Well, she's broke ma'am,
her yoga studio's been bleeding money.
Rick bailed her out in August,
she maxed out eight credit cards and her overdraft.
Could she be the woman at the Star?
Jac, get her photo sent over to the pub,
we can't rely on Sam's word.
And if we get a positive ID we'll pay Charlotte a visit.
Ma'am, the GPS for Rick's car's back,
we know where he was Friday morning
Redes Holiday Park, what was he doing there?
I used to come here as a little kid,
it was all caravans, two men tents, leaky toilets.
Well, it's won the top resort in the Northeast
for the last four years running.
Well, that'll explain the price tag.
[mellow music]
It's terrible.
He only came to see me on Friday.
What happened exactly?
Well, I can't divulge details,
but we are treating his death as suspicious.
Really?
God I had no idea.
Do you want a coffee?
Thank you.
Yeah, please.
Why did he come to see you?
It was a chance for two old friends to catch up,
without...
Without what?
Without Annie finding out, he and Annie were close,
it made it complicated even after all these years.
Do you want sugar?
No, just milk for both of us, thanks.
With real friends it can be years,
but it feels like yesterday when you see them again,
that's what it was like with me and Rick.
What did you chat about?
This place, the old days, hitting 60.
You have pains in places you didn't even know you had.
We heard he was on edge on Friday,
did you notice that?
Yeah, I suppose he was a little on edge.
He said he had a new project.
His book.
Yeah, that's right.
Although I can't imagine Rick writing
anything more than 400 words, he hated English at school.
[Catherine] Daniel, we need to go.
This is my wife Catherine.
Ah, there's no need to introduce us,
I know Miss Willmore.
Ma'am.
I hope you don't mind,
but Daniel and I are late for lunch.
No, no, no, of course, we'll leave.
Well, thanks for your time Mr. Rede.
Daniel, please.
Now, why did no one tell us
he's married to the police and crime commissioner?
I didn't recognise her,
she's only been in the job a month.
Heard she gets things done.
Yeah, well, she's not afraid of being unpopular,
it wouldn't do to get on the wrong side of her,
it could get political.
-He seemed nice enough. -[phone ringing]
Yes, Kenny.
Okay, yeah, no, I'll let her know.
Kenny, just talk to Rick's solicitor,
apparently Rick had just rewritten his will.
Did he?
He said he'll meet us at his office in Cleve.
Right.
There's a new will and it leaves a third to Charlotte,
a third to Annie Laidlore,
and a third to Angels Too Soon.
What's that?
It's a cot death charity.
[Aiden] Did he give a reason why?
Well, he didn't elaborate.
I really thought he was finally moving on.
From what?
From his father's death,
he was supposed to have cleared the house
two years ago when Dr. Kelsall passed but hadn't,
which was tricky
Because?
Because it was a stipulation of his father's will
that the contents of his office be destroyed.
Really?
[Lawyer] And Rick had to be the one to do it.
Rick, why him?
Due to the nature of his father's work as a GP,
he sometimes took his own private notes.
I guess Dr. Kelsall couldn't trust anyone else.
Ah, well I'm sorry love,
nothing can be destroyed without my say so,
is that understood?
So how much is a third of the estate?
After tax?
Around £1.6 million each.
[mellow music]
Well, maybe Rick and Charlotte lost a child together,
and that's why he left money to Angels Too Soon.
Hmm.
Do we think either Annie or Charlotte knew about the will?
Possibly, if Charlotte did know
she wouldn't have been best pleased
to have her inheritance cut by two thirds.
But then he did have to bail her out in August, didn't he?
Maybe he thought she'd had enough from him.
But still, 1.6 million...
Maybe that was enough incentive for her to bump him off.
Her business is about to go bust,
she's losing everything.
Let's check out Annie Laidlore's finances too,
no cutting corners.
From Billy.
Oh, now what?
The barmaid at the Star confirmed
Charlotte was there on Friday night.
Was she now?
[tense music]
-[doorbell ringing] -[tense music]
[Aiden] Charlotte.
[tense music]
Charlotte.
Hello?
Charlotte.
Charlotte?
This doesn't look right.
-[tense music] -Aiden.
Was it an accident?
She was drunk the last time we saw her.
There are a lot of empty bottles upstairs.
She may have been drunk,
but I'm fairly sure someone else was involved.
Look at these.
These are grip marks,
which suggest she was forced over the balcony.
Why was she killed,
and why was she at that pub on Holy Island?
Did she meet someone?
If I may ma'am.
What?
She spent the night alone, arrived at seven,
went out between nine and 10, returned upset,
but didn't want to talk about it.
Left at 11 and seen asleep in a car.
Why was she asleep?
Presumably because of the four large wines she had.
And she was gone by one when the barmaid left.
Good work.
Gold star, that's really thorough,
so you're saying she left for one hour?
Yes.
And Sam saw her when?
Just before 10, so that matches his account.
But why not knock on the door
and go inside and join them?
Well, because she was out in the cold, wasn't she?
Literally.
She'd been worried about Rick
and there he was singing and laughing.
And Sam caught her watching.
What if she saw something else?
Someone else.
I want alibis for the time of Charlotte's death
from all that circle of friends.
Now is our punk vicar still on the island?
Punk vicar?
Oh yes, Phillip's at his friends,
I've got his address here.
Yeah, so what's this friend's name,
and have you run him through the system?
-No. -[DCI Stanhope] Why not?
I don't know how.
Oh, Mark.
Yeah, look, I'm show you what to do.
His name's Sid Sinclair.
And then let's look at Annie Laidlore,
what are her finances like?
Well, she has around £4,000 pounds in savings
and no property.
She lives above a deli in Kemmerson
called Bread and Olives.
The inheritance may be a motive.
Well, only if she knew about the will.
Where are we with Eliza Jones?
Working through a really long list.
Well, what's the journalist said?
He's stonewalling, refuses to reveal any of his sources,
the same thing with the production company.
Well, get a warrant,
arrest him for withholding if needs be.
'Cause Rick said that sexual harassment claim
against him had been dropped.
But how do we know that?
We don't, and we won't know till we find Eliza Jones.
Rick's agent has sent through
the first chapter of his book ma'am.
[Billy] You're joking.
What?
Phillip's friend Sid is deceased,
he died two years ago.
So who's he staying with?
Yeah, we'll look into it.
Ma'am, Superintendent Watkins,
he doesn't sound very happy.
Oh, when does he ever?
Now I need to inform Charlotte's next of kin,
find me Isaiah Thomas's address.
Yes ma'am.
Sir.
[Superintendent] Why have I had reports
you turned up at the PCCs house?
I'm sorry sir,
I need to inform Isaiah Thomas his daughter is dead.
Sir?
[Superintendent] Is Isaiah Thomas connected?
Oh, his daughter was an ex-wife of Rick Kelsall sir.
[Superintendent] Don't trouble the PCC at home again,
is that understood?
Well no one has a get out of jail free card, sir.
[Superintendent] That wasn't what I meant,
just be discreet Stanhope.
[mellow music]
I am afraid we have some bad news for you sir,
it's about your daughter Charlotte.
She died last night
and we believe in suspicious circumstances.
I signed over the Escott pub to her,
never heard from her again.
Charlotte got what she wanted.
Well her ex-husband Rick also died recently
in suspicious circumstances.
He left a third of his estate to Charlotte,
and a third to a cot death charity.
Now, did Charlotte lose a baby?
A baby?
She never had a baby,
wouldn't want her to ruin her Figure.
Rick's dead, huh?
Gets better and better,
that inheritance'll come to us now, won't it?
It depends if she left a will.
She had to after I gave her the pub.
There's always a bright side, eh?
Lovely.
[Server] Thank you.
Hot dog.
Oh, thanks.
I've just spoken to Mark,
and no news about Phil or his whereabouts.
I can't help but feel sorry for Charlotte.
Oh, she didn't stand a chance,
didn't wanna be part of the family business
so they cut her out.
You do know if we're looking at
who's got the most to gain, it's Annie.
All right, well, let's visit her next.
I got the feeling she was holding something back.
How was the manuscript?
Well, actually it's quite moving.
On Thursday evening I planned to run away that weekend,
escape the misery.
But then Ms. Marshall arrived, my form teacher,
barely older than me.
Conversation was had behind closed doors,
when they came out it had been agreed
I would go to Holy Island with Only Connect,
part of a collection of misfits and loners.
And that, that changed everything
He was talking about Only Connect.
Yeah, so why change the title, hmm?
What happened in 1982?
Isabelle died.
Yeah, well we know that,
but Annie said secrets, plural.
So what else is it they're not telling us, hmm?
[Annie breathing shakily]
I'm okay, it's just such a shock.
Look, why don't you come
and sit down inside love, come on.
She asked me to go to the pub with her,
she always wanted someone to go with her,
it didn't really matter who.
We were never very close.
Well, we paid a visit
to Rick's solicitor yesterday about his will,
you and Charlotte are two of his main beneficiaries.
-I am? -Mm-hmm.
He's left you £1.6 million.
That's ridiculous.
And the other third of the estate
is going to a cot death charity.
[Aiden] Angels Too Soon, do you know why?
Well, did he know someone who'd suffered a loss?
Me.
My daughter Freya died, the 5th of November, 1982.
Yeah, I am so sorry love.
And that must have been, what,
about a month before your first reunion?
I didn't want to go,
but Rick said I needed friends around me,
and he said the same to Daniel.
I was miserable.
What I wanted to do was disappear and hide,
and I did for most of the weekend.
But then...
Isabelle.
How old was your daughter?
Freya was three months.
Well, she wasn't planned, but Daniel and I were so excited.
We were living in an old caravan at Rede Holiday Park,
and Daniel was working all hours day and night.
And his dad was on the verge of bankruptcy.
What, you were all alone,
with a wee bairn in a caravan?
Hey, that must've been hard.
It was so exhausting.
Cramped,
lonely,
I was tired all the time.
What happened?
I went to sleep,
I hadn't set the alarm for the night feed,
I thought she'd wake me, but she didn't.
She died in the night.
I could have stopped it.
Hey love.
Rick's dad said it was just one of those things,
that's what they said back then, no reason.
I blamed myself for years, I still do.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
It's all I saw, it was burned into my retinas.
But we couldn't cope with the grief,
we separated the next year.
And I wouldn't have coped without Rick,
he was such a good friend.
[mellow music]
We are so sorry love
Annie.
Did anything else happen in 1982?
Apart from Freya and Isabelle dying?
[DCI Stanhope] Hmm.
Why, isn't that traumatic enough?
So Annie Laidlore had a baby with Daniel Rede in 1982,
but tragically the bairn died
just a month before that first reunion.
And of course their grief was compounded
by the death of Isabelle.
-Ma'am? -[DCI Stanhope] What?
I've just found out who Phillip's been staying with.
Who?
Judith Sinclair.
Mark.
Ma'am.
[Billy] Maiden name Marshall.
Judith Marshall?
Yep.
Wasn't that the name of the teacher
who took them on that first Only Connect weekend?
Why didn't he tell us that?
All right, I've got a journalist to meet,
he thinks I've got a story.
Yeah.
Hang on ma'am, I think I've got something here.
Now, Judith Sinclair's number
appears on our ex vicar's phone records.
He made a call to her just before midnight on Friday.
Did he?
Charlotte's postmortem's in.
Very little alcohol in the system,
presumably from the night before.
No prints, everything had been wiped.
Oh, please tell me there's a but.
But she did find DNA under Charlotte's fingernails.
Yes.
[Aiden] She's gonna run it through the system.
[doorbell ringing]
Hello love, DCI Stanhope Northumberland and City Police.
Oh.
I'd like to talk to Phillip.
[Judith] Yes, of course.
And DS Healy would like to talk to you.
Right, come in.
Now, I'll ask you again,
why were you and Rick arguing on Friday night?
Because he told everyone
Judith begged him to sleep with her during Only Connect,
but it wasn't true.
He said he was gonna write it in his book,
and I lost it.
He'd guessed I was seeing Judy,
he just wanted to wind me up.
That first weekend Rick attempted
some terribly embarrassing school boy flirting.
I sent him to bed alone.
So nothing happened?
Of course not, I was their teacher,
we've shared some wine, but that was it,
I wasn't interested in him.
But you were interested in Phillip?
Not when he was a student.
We began to see each other two years later.
Judy wanted to educate the world,
I wanted to burn it down, so she finished with me.
Only got back in touch two years ago after Sid died.
Sid, her husband, the alibi you lied about.
I know, I'm sorry.
We wanted to be discreet, Judy's got two children,
they've lost their dad.
I was gonna come round on Saturday,
we were gonna tell them altogether in the place it started.
But then Phillip phoned at midnight and called it off.
I didn't want Judy to be the butt of some joke.
I was angry with Rick, but I didn't want to kill him.
I loved him.
Tell me about Isabelle Hall,
now, I heard she was a flirt, was she?
She flirted with all of us,
and if you were taken she flirted even more.
Now, so I take it you weren't a fan?
Hmm, that's putting it mildly,
I don't even know why she was there.
I didn't see her much.
Everyone kept themselves to themselves,
Annie stayed in her room the whole time.
Was Isabelle having an affair with Rick,
is that why they were arguing?
He wasn't interested in her,
he was happy with Charlotte back then.
No, all he said about the argument
was that he wasn't happy with Isabelle.
He never said why.
You know he lost his job because of the lies you wrote,
don't even think about moving.
[phone ringing]
Ma'am, I'm with the journalist,
he said he targeted Eliza because of her mother.
He thought she'd give the story more traction
until she got an injunction on him.
So who is this Eliza?
The Police and Crime Commissioner's daughter.
Catherine Willmore's daughter?
Now, why didn't she say anything?
[mellow music]
[door knocking]
[mellow music]
[window knocking]
Well, I'd had a bad day on set,
and messed things up, I'd been shouted at,
and Rick saw me crying,
so he took me into his office for some privacy.
And is that when he overstepped the line?
He just hugged me and tried to cheer me up.
Only Michael, this journalist,
and another intern saw us and they said it was creepy.
And I just didn't want them to think
that I had been getting special treatment,
or that I'd only got the job because Daniel knew Rick.
So hold on.
Instead of saying Rick was your mate of your stepdad
and he was just being kind,
you chose to let people think he was a predator
abusing a position of power?
No, no, no, no, Michael had said that Rick
had done things to other girls,
like awful things, awful things.
He said that none of them were brave enough to come forward
and that I would be speaking on behalf of all of them.
He said that it was the right thing to do.
So the accusation in the paper
about it happening before,
that's you repeating what Michael said?
Yeah.
But he just needed the story.
My mom found out that he'd been told that without one,
he would lose his job at his paper.
Why didn't you tell the truth?
My mom wanted to keep it quiet.
Yeah, because she didn't want Phil to know
her lass had lied to the press.
I didn't lie, it was Michael.
No, you went along with his lies and did nothing.
You got Rick fired from his job, love.
My mum said that she would sort it all out
and that she would make it good again.
Is that why Rick came here on Friday?
Yeah, he called the week before,
but my mum shut him down so he came in person.
She didn't want me to talk to him,
but I had to apologise.
He and mum wrote his statement together
and he said he was going to get a paper to cover it.
[mellow music]
Excuse me, excuse me, you can't,
You don't have a meeting.
Oh, we have now ma'am.
Not to worry, we're fine, thank you.
See, I know about the link
between your daughter and Rick Kelsall,
I've just spoken to her.
I know why he came to see you.
Detective Chief Inspector.
You interfered with an active murder investigation
and withheld vital information,
now, why did you do that ma'am?
I needed time to work out how to manage it.
Violence against women and girls,
sexual, physical, emotional,
something I have campaigned against my entire working life.
Ooh, so we know whenever a woman
makes a false accusation to the police or the press,
it affects thousands of other women
who have legitimate claims.
So how much harder does it make it
for all those real victims of violence
to come forward and be believed?
And how much easier does it make it
for all those men who like to abuse women?
You should have stamped on it
the minute you knew your daughter had lied,
not hidden it away.
So I would like a copy of that press statement
you drafted with Rick.
Of course, it's on here, I'll send it to you now.
And an alibi for the time of both deaths ma'am.
Please.
Kenny, I need you to check out Catherine Willmore's alibis
along with her daughters.
Yes ma'am.
And her husband's, come to that
Ma'am.
Ma'am, I've found this on Charlotte's laptop,
it's a business proposal she sent the day after Rick died.
It's about a yoga retreat at Rede Park.
A business proposal?
The phone records are in too,
and she spoke to Daniel Rede twice after Kelsall's death.
One call lasting six minutes,
and another 31 minutes.
That's a good job we're checking his alibi.
Billy, did you find out if there were
any more keys to Pilgrim's House?
No, I forgot.
You forgot?
I asked you days ago.
Yeah, I know, but then they all went off swimming.
Oh, and the site of over sixties flesh
causes amnesia, does it?
This is not the standard I expect from my officers.
When I ask for something to be done,
I expect it to be done, is that understood?
Yes ma'am, sorry ma'am.
Now go and find out,
and don't let it happen again.
Ma'am, baby Freya Rede's death certificate.
Dr. Kelsall signed it, there wasn't a postmortem,
is that odd?
They tended not to do autopsies for cot deaths back then.
You'd have thought he would've requested one though,
wouldn't you?
Being a friend of the family, maybe he did.
Didn't that solicitor say Dr. Kelsall
kept a journal for his private notes?
He did say that ma'am.
What if Rick saw something
when he was sorting out his dad's things?
It could still be there.
Jac and Mark get over to that house in Cleve,
look through the doctor's paper,
see if you can find something useful.
Ma'am.
Detective Chief Inspector, your office now.
Sir.
Sir?
How dare you involve Ms. Willmore.
Oh, Ms. Willmore involved herself sir,
and I wouldn't be doing my job
if I didn't investigate every lead,
however uncomfortable that may be.
I understand that.
There was a direct link between the PCC and Rick Kelsall,
and in the last two days there's been another murder.
We wouldn't wanna look like we weren't doing our job now,
would we sir?
You're playing a very dangerous game Chief Inspector.
Well, that makes two of us.
What?
[Daniel] Michael, can you take over?
How can I help?
Well, we're hear about Charlotte Thomas' murder.
-[Daniel] Murder? -[DCI Stanhope] Mm.
Catherine told me she'd died, but I had no idea.
Well, I've got a couple of questions for you,
can we go inside and talk?
Yeah, of course.
Aiden.
It's just we understand Charlotte
was in touch with you this week about a business proposal.
Yeah, I think she was hoping
I'd feel sorry for her after Rick's death,
but it wasn't financially viable.
I was gonna meet her, tell her that later this week.
And I need to ask you about Freya.
Now, I'm sorry you lost your bairn,
that must have been awful.
Yes, it was the worst thing that's ever happened to me,
Annie's never really forgiven herself.
Now, Rick's father, he signed the death certificate,
but he didn't request an inquest.
Did you?
Oh, Richard, Dr. Kelsall, he said we didn't need one,
he said it would've meant an autopsy,
cutting Freya open, and we couldn't.
I'm sorry.
The coffin was so small.
Tiny.
Did you have any concerns at all
that maybe something wasn't right?
No, Annie and I were mad with grief,
nothing felt right.
Richard was like a father to me,
I felt closer to him than me own dad.
If it wasn't him I would've ended it all.
Well, it doesn't come tougher than that pet.
Apologies.
Oh, it's not upstairs, I've looked everywhere,
even pulled up the carpets.
[phone line ringing]
[DCI Stanhope] Jac?
Ma'am, we've found all of
Dr. Kelsall's journals apart from one,
the one from 1982.
What do you want us to do?
Well, have you searched everywhere?
[Mark] It's not here boss.
Well, I reckon that journal is exactly
what Rick was looking for,
because he suspected there was something in there
that he wanted to write about, needed to write about.
That's why he's changed the title.
So where is it?
It can't be at Pilgrim's House,
otherwise Paula would've found it.
Yeah, Jac get on to forensics
and tell them to take his car apart.
Yes ma'am.
I've got the feeling Daniel Rede was holding back,
protecting someone.
Annie?
What if Rick wanted to tell her something,
something he knew would upset her, hmm?
That's why he kept apologising to her.
Do you think he knew about the baby's death?
Get Jac back on the line,
tell her to search Charlotte's flat.
'Cause that's the first place Rick went
after he left his dad's house.
We need to talk pet.
Then you're talking in front of me too,.
I'm not leaving.
Ah, it's about Freya's death.
Okay.
Was there a reason you didn't want
a postmortem for the bairn?
Well, Dr. Kelsall and Daniel said it wasn't needed,
I couldn't think straight, I just did what they said.
Is this going anywhere?
You can see she's distressed.
Why did Rick keep apologising to you on Friday?
You told me he kept saying he was sorry.
What are you implying?
Then he changes the name of his book,
says he's going to be revealing secrets.
Now, was one of those secrets about Freya's death?
Are you saying I hurt my baby?
Nope.
I'm saying no one knows why is she actually died.
I did not kill my baby.
All right, go upstairs Annie, I'll deal with this.
No, I haven't finished yet.
Oh, you have for now, go on Annie.
Did you enjoy making Annie suffer?
I'm sorry, but we have to ask these awkward questions.
And this line of questioning is irrelevant
and deeply distressing.
Before I opened this place, I had my own practise,
criminal law.
If you want to talk to Annie again,
do it at the station with a solicitor.
Heard and understood pet.
[mellow music]
[Jac] Mark, it's here.
Oh ma'am, I have those alibis you asked for.
Ms. Willmore and Eliza were at a spa on Friday,
they were both at their work on Monday,
plenty of witnesses.
Daniel has only just sent through his information
of where he was Monday.
But Friday he was in Edinburgh,
he said he stayed overnight in a hotel.
Ah, well check he was actually there.
I will do.
Oh ma'am, Charlotte's proposal, I put it on your desk.
Oh, thanks Kenny.
Is Billy not back yet?
Oh, I haven't seen him since this morning.
[phone ringing]
Ah, talk of the devil.
Billy, where are you?
Pilgrim's House ma'am,
the caretaker told us there was
a third set of keys for the house, but they're missing.
I'm waiting for him to arrive, he should be here soon.
Yeah, well it would've been helpful
to have had that information three days ago.
Yes ma'am, sorry mom.
Oh, sorry ma'am, sorry ma'am,
that should be your catchphrase.
Aiden, get in here.
This business proposal is rubbish,
it's back of a cereal packet stuff,
it's full of typos and the figures don't add up.
Why would Daniel Rede go to the trouble of meeting her
just to tell her that?
He's a busy man, right?
Yet he had two phone calls with Charlotte
and arranged to meet her.
Like you said, Rick had just died.
[DCI Stanhope exhaling]
Ma'am, Dr. Kelsall's missing journal,
you were right, it was at Charlotte's.
Read the entry on November the eighth.
Daniel killed his baby?
Accidentally apparently.
Yeah, well he still killed her.
And good old Dr. Kelsall covered it up.
Because he was worried Daniel would kill himself.
Those two cars that were heard
early hours of Saturday morning.
Now, we knew one of them
was Charlotte driving off the island.
What if she saw the car come the other way?
They'd have passed each other on the causeway, right?
I think she saw Daniel Rede.
[mellow music]
[phone keys chiming]
[phone ringing]
Ah, Billy, now what?
[Billy] Ma'am.
What you doing?
Billy?
[men scuffling]
[suspenseful music]
Billy's in trouble.
[mellow music]
The caretaker's just spoken to Kenny,
and Billy wasn't there but his car is though.
So where is the lad?
Try his number again.
[mellow music]
Jacob.
Any sign of him?
No, I've checked inside too, the house was all locked up.
I checked the pub like you asked, he's not there.
Well, his motor's still here so he can't have gone far.
And what's all this about a spare set of keys?
It's for the estate agent, it's about to be sold,
they were hidden around the side,
they'd been missing only they're back now.
Okay, everyone spread out and start looking.
[Jac] I'll try and track his phone ma'am.
Kenny.
Ma'am, I called the hotel
that Daniel Rede stayed at on Friday night.
Well, he checked in okay,
but he didn't actually use his key card until 4:45 a.m.
Billy.
Billy!
Where are you son, where are you?
[mellow music]
I've found his phone, I've found his phone!
Is it his?
I should never have let the lad come here on his own.
Ma'am, Kenny's on the phone,
he says it's Daniel Rede that's buying Pilgrim's house,
he knew about the other keys.
[bell tolling]
There's someone in danger on the causeway.
[tense music]
He told me he can't swim.
[tense music]
[Aiden] Get out the way.
Move.
[melancholic music]
Mark, get me a boat.
[Mark] Yes ma'am.
[mellow music]
[DCI Stanhope] Is that where you lived back in the day
with Annie and your bairn?
Yeah, I kept it for old times' sake.
Mm, yeah, it's lovely here.
How can I help you Inspector?
Oh, it's Detective Chief Inspector.
Oh, what a day.
It's hard to believe you did it all on your own.
Yeah, well when you put your mind to something.
No, I'm meant the body count,
Charlotte, Rick, Freya, you killed them all,
and hanging in the balances PC Billington.
Really?
I did all that?
Have you got any proof?
Nope.
See, I've heard people say you're losing your touch,
getting sloppy.
Ah, but we did find DNA under Charlotte's fingernails.
However, since you're not on the system,
we can't identify you yet.
Why would I kill Charlotte?
Because she saw ya coming onto the island
on the night Rick died.
And that business proposal she made here
was just a feeble attempt at blackmail.
And why would I want to kill me old mate Rick?
It's just Rick had found his dad's journal,
so he knew that you killed your bairn.
November the eighth, you told Dr. Kelsall
you gave the bairn medicine to make her sleep,
so Annie could get some rest you said.
Yeah, it's all there.
It was an accident, I was devastated,
Dr. Kelsall could see that and said he'd deal with it.
And all these years, all that time
you've let Annie think it was her fault.
So when you saw Rick on Friday,
did he say he was going to tell her?
Nah, he wouldn't do that,
he'd be too worried of what it would do to her?
No, but he did say he was going to
write all about it in his book, didn't he?
He even changed the title to 1982.
Well...
After all I've done building this place up,
I couldn't have that coming out, could I?
He didn't leave me much choice.
[tense music]
And what about Charlotte?
I suppose you're going to tell me
she shouldn't have blackmailed you.
She was never as bright as she thought.
Well, neither are you as it's turned out pet.
Let's talk about Isabelle,
why was she even at that first reunion?
Phillip didn't know,
Annie was stuck in her room all weekend grieving,
Sam was with Louisa.
So that begs the question, where were you?
See, I think you were with Isabelle.
She pushed herself on me,
now I tried saying no, but...
Ah, no, I get it, you are a hot blooded man,
and you have needs.
Yeah, and she was beautiful.
I didn't know she'd drive into the sea.
If you wanna blame someone for that, blame Rick.
Oh, aye, he did have a go at her,
told her to get off the island.
I didn't ask him to do that.
No, he did it for Annie.
'cause while you were cheating on her
she was grieving the loss of her bairn that you killed.
And what about my officer
who even now might be breathing his last breath?
What recognise you, did he?
While you was sneaking back to return those keys?
He started asking questions, I didn't plan to hurt him.
Oh, don't sell yourself short pet,
there must have been some planning.
You left an injured man on the causeway
with the tide coming in.
Well...
Well, I think that's everything.
Not yet, I'd like that journal, please.
Oh, this?
Ah no, now this is evidence love.
That wasn't a request.
You shouldn't have come on your own love, you see?
Sloppy.
What made you think I came on my own pet?
Drop the axe Daniel.
[Police Officer] Armed police, drop your weapon.
Armed police, drop the axe, drop your weapon.
Daniel Rede, I'm arresting you
for the murders of Richard Kelsall, Charlotte Thomas,
and the attempted murder of PC Billington.
Daniel Rede has been processed.
Any news on young Billy?
[melancholic music]
I am so sorry darling.
So sorry.
[melancholic music]
-[Annie sobbing] -[melancholic music]
Sarah.
Richard, there you go mate.
Oh, this one's Billy's.
Oh, don't, I got him a bloody teaspoon, didn't I?
It was meant to be a joke.
Well you've spoilt the surprise now.
Billy.
[Jac] Hey.
Good to see you.
Good to see you again.
-Billy son, you okay? -Yeah, good thank you.
Billy, what are doing here?
You're supposed to be on leave resting.
Well, I couldn't miss secret Santa.
Merry Christmas ma'am.
Well, the clues in the title Billy, secret.
Oh, sorry ma'am.
Are you gonna open it?
Ah, thank you Billy.
Here Billy, you gotta open yours now.
It is what it is, you'll give a good one.
Go on then Billy.
[officers chuckling]
[Jac] Go on.
[mellow music]
Kenny, make us a brew pet.
[Kenny] Ma'am.
[DCI Stanhope] And get one for Billy.
