[tense music]
-[bus chugging] -[machine beeps]
[flame whooshes]
[fire crackling]
[music intensifies]
[woman groaning]
[woman breathing heavily]
[branch snapping]
[woman groaning]
[fist banging on the door]
[fire crackling]
[headphones playing tinny music]
[boy sighs]
[gentle music]
[camera clicks]
Oh.
[brooding music]
-[boy gasps] -[branches rustling]
[boy breathes heavily]
[music intensifies]
[upbeat theme music]
[tyres rumbling on the road]
[gravel crunching]
No.
-[engine revving] -[wheel spinning]
Er, it's not moving.
[brakes squeak]
-Keep going. -Right.
Oof.
-Yeah. -Come on, man.
[tyres rumbling on the wet road]
[handbrake clicks]
You might have to send someone down there for a tow,
couple of clowns stuck in the mud doing wheel spins.
Right, okay.
Yeah, but not now!
They can wait.
Where's the body?
Er, it's a bit of a trek.
-So a wellie job? -Yeah.
[Vera huffs]
-[tense music] -[birds squawking]
DCI Stanhope, we've been waiting
with bated breath for you.
Well, I'm here now, Malcolm.
So, what have we got?
[camera clicking]
A woman in her mid fifties to early sixties,
been dead approximately 48 to 60 hours.
So, Saturday then.
How long would you say she's been exposed to the elements?
-The same. -[camera clicks]
So died here.
Cause of death?
Multiple injuries,
there's bruising to the throat and the neck.
A small gash on her forehead,
but just because the cut's small
doesn't mean there wasn't internal damage,
which caused her death.
No sign of sexual assault,
two broken fingers on the right hand.
So, she fought back?
Too early to tell that.
[camera bleeps and clicks]
No shoes or coat.
Maybe she was camping?
-Ooh, any ID? -[camera clicking]
Travel pass.
Angela Konan.
What's the area of search?
1,000 metres.
Yeah, well double that
and focus on all the entrances on this side of the park,
from public and private properties.
Yes, ma'am. [sighs]
It's gonna be a tough one, this.
-[gentle music] -[voices talking]
[birds squawking]
Oh Jac, have you requested the CCTV?
-Yes, ma'am. -Right.
No, where's the lad who found 'er?
-He's in the back. -Okay.
[feet clumping on the floor]
Noel, is it?
I'm DCI Stanhope, I'm leading the investigation.
Can you tell us what your job is here at the park, Noel?
I'm the ranger from the southwest,
from Disley to Breeze Hill.
Unzip yer Jacket, love.
We can't have a proper chat zipped up like that, can we?
Now, why didn't you call the police straight away?
There's no signal down there.
Will I lose my job because of this?
Why would you lose your job?
I dunno. [sniffs]
Did you recognise the woman?
No.
Hardly saw her face.
How difficult is the route you found her on?
Oh, I don't ...
Well, would you say only an experienced walker
would take that route where you found her,
or is it an everyday one?
I don't know, I'm new.
I don't know about this kind of stuff,
so you're just gonna have to ask Stanley;
my boss, Stanley Booth.
-Can I go now, please? -[gentle music]
[Vera] Ey, you'll be okay son.
We'll get you a lift home.
[police radio chattering and bleeping]
[melancholy music]
-[door clicks] -[engine purrs]
[tyres rumble]
Terrible business, [sighs]
poor lad was really shaken.
We'll make sure he gets home okay.
Can we ask you a couple of questions, Stanley?
Yeah absolutely, whatever I can do to help.
You're the manager here?
Yeah, I manage the centre and the cafe
as well as the upkeep of this side of the park.
Does the name Angela Konan mean anything to yer?
-Angela? -Hm.
Was that her?
Aye, we think so; what did you know her?
Yeah, a little, erm just from round the park.
Ahh, and did you see her at the weekend?
I don't work weekends.
So when would you say was the last time you saw her?
[sighs] Not for a while, yer ...
Sorry, I'm just a bit shocked.
No, that's all right, love.
Er, few weeks ago.
Do you know how many visitors walked through here
-over the weekend? -[tense music]
Oh. [sighs]
Approximately?
Well, it's hard to give exact figures
because people enter at different points.
I mean, there's two more between here and Breeze Hill.
Can you show us on the map?
Er yeah, well er, this is the part of the park
that we look after.
Erm, you can park on the road here
and enter there or up near Disley Park Train Station
there's another entrance but
people enter from private property, all over the place.
We're surrounded by farmers' fields.
And what are the purple squares?
-Bothies. -What?
They're resting places like stone huts;
I see you've got three.
Er yeah, there's three in the area,
but one's not fit for purpose.
Anyone from anywhere could have attacked her;
there's an entrance every other mile.
We can get CCTV from all the official entrances,
but it's gonna be hard to trace every route
in and out of 'ere.
And what about them two?
Like a double act, odd the pair of 'em.
Maybe it's a prerequisite for working here?
Huh.
Lonely place for her to die.
[tense music]
Right, I want uniform right around the periphery
of this side of the park doing house to house.
Someone must've seen her.
Yes, ma'am.
[tense music continues]
So I spoke to the neighbour.
She said she definitely wasn't married.
Christine, make sure we take this.
Yes ma'am.
I think she lived alone.
There's a rack of shoes here, all the same size.
She left her phone here.
Seven missed calls, Saturday.
No caller ID.
Why wouldn't you take your phone on a walking trip?
Alone.
We don't know if she was alone.
Well, maybe she forgot it?
Hm.
Maybe didn't wanna hear from anyone, we've all done that.
-[bag crackling] -[tense music]
[Aiden] She worked at Home Steps?
Is it definitely Angela?
I mean, are you sure?
As sure as we can be at this stage.
Yeah, we're hoping to get a formal identification
as soon as possible.
Do you have the name of her next of kin?
Ah, no.
Nobody that I know of.
When did you last talk to her?
Thursday, I was on leave on Friday.
You didn't speak on Saturday?
Oh yes, I tried calling, but I couldn't get through.
Hm, was it a normal week here last week?
How do you mean?
Well, did anything unusual happen?
No, not really,
but they are all under extra pressure right now,
working on a new bid after getting our grant cut.
But you know, staying positive.
Was Angela a positive person.
She wouldn't even hear talk about closing down.
Did she ever confide in you about her personal life?
I mean, did the two of you socialise?
Some of us get together for a drink every week.
She joined us occasionally, but she wasn't a regular.
So what was the nature of her work here?
She was a support worker,
facilitating resettlement after residential rehab,
for alcohol and substance abuse.
Oh, high stakes work.
Definitely.
You said that you tried to call her on Saturday?
Yes, a few times.
Any particular reason?
No, just checking in, you know.
On her weekend off?
Oh, I must have wanted to ask her something,
-I can't remember what. -[gentle music]
Okay, now is there a list of the women
she worked with we could have?
And also a note of her appointments
for the last couple of weeks?
Of course.
Angela Konan, 55 years old,
her body was found by a ranger
in the Disley Valley area of the National Park this morning.
No apparent next of kin and no obvious suspect yet.
A random attack?
Yeah, could be Jac.
Now her manager at the Home Steps Housing Project,
Darlene Houghton, said she had a happy, busy work life,
but she did seem to be stressed these past few weeks.
Er, funding problems.
Er, work carried out by the support workers
included family sessions, such as
facilitating the reestablishment
of fractured family relationships.
Er, try saying that after a skinful. [laughs]
And talking of skinfuls, when's Kenny back?
Oh, he's got the wedding tomorrow.
[sighs] That's the third time
his daughter's been married by my reckoning.
No, he's got three daughters, ma'am.
Has he?
Oh.
Er, Darlene said that the National Park
was her favourite place,
and that she would often go up there
to get away from it all.
Yeah, but she also said she sometimes
took women from the project up there,
she got on brilliantly with the women.
They all went to her with their problems.
So, while we dig deeper into her personal life,
let's focus on her work at Home Steps.
I mean, working with estranged families
could be a possible lead.
I mean, did she have an argument with one of the residents?
Yeah, I'm still working back from Friday,
but so far, what stands out is Angela
evicted someone on Friday morning.
Did she?
Yeah, she issued an immediate notice to leave
at 10:30 a.m.,
Ayisha Nassar, aged 28.
Angela was her key worker.
Do the notice say what the eviction was for?
Er no, it looks like they're incomplete,
just a signature from her and Ayisha.
What about the rest of the notes?
Are they filled in comprehensively?
Erm yeah, it's just that day.
Hm, have we got an address or a number for this Ayisha?
I'm working on it.
Ma'am, we've got Angela on CCTV, 8:45 on Saturday morning
heading straight for the southwest area of the park.
8:45?
Well she had a meeting booked in on her home calendar
for eight on Saturday morning, with B.
May, find out who B is, and whether that meeting took place.
Ma'am.
We've established her manager called her
six times on Saturday, but what about
that unidentified call at 8:15?
I'll get on it.
Right, we're also missing her bag, coat and boots.
Yeah, and scarf.
Is that a takeaway coffee she's got in her hands?
Yeah, she must've just stopped off on the way.
Maybe she might B for a coffee?
[phone ringing]
Yeah, well that's what I'm thinking.
Well find out where.
DS Healy.
And we need to locate her belongings,
I wanna know why she was up that park
with no coat or boots.
[phone clatters]
Ma'am, forensics.
We've got blood in one of the bothies.
[dramatic music]
Early start, Malcolm?
Late night and an early start.
-Ooh. -But,
we've just found this, hidden.
A teapot?
Something tells me it hasn't been used
for brewing Earl Grey.
How'd you know it was hidden and not just here?
It was in the rafters.
[Aiden] Well that's bizarre.
Wrapped in a towel with care.
So whoever it belongs to uses the place regularly.
Where's the blood?
Blood is there and there.
That's the perfect height, if she stumbled,
or was pushed.
None on the floor.
Are you sure?
The head wound was minimal, so [sighs]
I wasn't expecting to find an excessive amount of blood.
-So no match? -Not yet.
But it fits with the timescale, hm?
It does, yes.
Oh, and there are no signs of any belongings.
Hmm.
Door's not being forced.
Maybe she disturbed somebody
or she was spotted and followed in.
Hmm.
Maybe she came in for a rest?
Would have taken off her coat and shoes
and was then attacked?
-And ran? -Hmm.
Okay, I want all the DNA here taken for analysis, Malcolm,
a-are you still on for the post mortem results at one?
I'll be there, with the teapot.
Ooh good, maybe we can have a brew.
Ha ha.
[brooding music]
[sighs loudly] I thought you were all done 'ere.
Not just yet.
[Stanley sighs]
-You all right? -Yeah, I'm fine.
Mr. Booth, do you or your staff clean the bothies
up in the park?
We make sure they're left the way they were found.
Oh I mean, but most visitors tidy up after themselves.
Hm, who cleans them?
-That's Noel's job. -Every day?
Every Monday morning.
Ah, what about lost property?
Well it's cleared and logged.
Can you check to see if anything
was collected from there Monday?
I don't think there was anything.
But, can you check?
[Stanley sighs]
Looks like there was some items.
Ah well, can we have a look please, love?
[Stanley groans]
[box thumps on the table]
These look like Angela's to me.
And you didn't think to check these boxes, Mr. Booth?
I do it at the end of the week.
And it was Noel who brought this in?
Well, he would-a done.
And is Noel in work today?
No, he called in sick, he ...
With all the excitement, he's a sensitive one.
Yeah well, we'll be paying him a home visit
and we'll need your prints and DNA, love.
-Mine, why? -[tense music]
Well, I'm assuming you handled these items?
[Stanley sighs]
He went as white as a sheet when he saw us again.
Well, seeing a dead body and having us all over the place
may have taken its toll.
Aye, a body found under his nose.
And neither he nor his protege thinks twice
about finding this lot in the bothy.
[door slams]
There's something not right here.
Jury's out on the pair of them.
[brooding music]
Sorry about the mess.
It's my flat mates; I'm a tidy person.
Yeah, can you just leave that, love,
'cause we need to talk to yer.
What, what about?
You cleared the bothy up near Roma's Point on Monday,
-do you remember? -Yeah.
What did you find?
Oh, a pair of boots, jacket and a bag.
Yeah, well those items belonged
to the dead lady you found.
Oh.
Have I messed something up
by touching them or some other way?
Well, it would've been helpful to have known about them.
-I didn't think. -[tense music]
You noticed she wasn't wearing boots, didn't you?
Yeah.
Well, did you not think the ones you found
might have belonged to her?
[dramatic music]
Are you all right, love?
I didn't know.
Where were yer on Saturday?
-Here. -Who with?
My flatmates.
Are your flatmates here now?
No.
Well, when your flatmates return,
you tell them the police need to talk to them, all right?
Did you hear what DCI Stanhope said, Noel?
My flatmates, to call you, yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
[Noel breathes heavily]
-[door clatters] -[dog barking]
He finds they body, doesn't call straight away
and finds her belongings and says nothing.
I'm not buying that he wouldn't
put two and two together about her boots and clothes.
I wanna listen to that 999 call.
Absolutely.
And get someone down here to get his prints and DNA.
[tense music]
-[doors slamming] -[engine revving]
[metal gates clanking]
Ah, the wanderer returns.
The wanderer has had a lot of ground to cover.
How's it going up there?
Well, we should've finished processing the scene
by the end of the day, I take it that's for me.
Yeah, retrieved from the bothy by the park ranger.
Wonderful, been handled by untold
-numbers of people, no doubt. -Yep.
Teapot first.
So we found significant and recent traces of psilocybin,
a naturally occurring psychedelic compound,
-which is found in- -Magic mushrooms.
Very good.
From where, up in the park?
Possibility, it is the right time of year for them
though they could have been homegrown.
What about prints?
Ah, well, you see this teapot
has been meticulously cleaned and cared for,
but in a moment of brilliance, I managed to lift two.
Well, I wouldn't have expected
anything less from yer, Malcolm.
Have we got a match?
Not on the system.
So, official cause of death is hypothermia.
It appears that none of the injuries led to her death.
So she might have survived
if she was found soon after the attack.
Possibly, but there are also these injuries
around her collarbone and chest.
What, more evidence of a struggle?
No, I'd say that she was involved
in a minor traffic collision.
Those bruises suggest a seatbelt injury to me.
-On the passenger side. -Hm.
Thanks, Malcolm.
Okay everyone, listen up.
Now the post-mortem shows cause of death: hypothermia.
It also shows further injuries,
possibly sustained from a minor traffic collision
a day or two before she died.
Seatbelt bruise on passenger seat.
I'll check for any traffic incidents on her routes.
Yeah, the bruising could well be from hard braking,
but check anyway.
Jac, have you got anything for me?
Er yeah, we found where she bought her coffee from,
it's a little place in Market Square.
They only served her on Friday and Saturday morning.
Was there anyone with her?
No, she always went in there alone,
but the owner mentioned that she seemed
out of sorts on the Friday.
Hmm, Mark, where are we with her phone records?
Er, her last outgoing calls were on Friday
during work hours and all have been accounted for.
But what about the unidentified call on Saturday?
[sighs] It looks to be an unregistered pay-as-you-go,
but we'll keep looking.
[sighs] Anything new from the flat?
Contact details for family or friends?
Absolutely nothing, ma'am.
Nothing, no photos, paperwork?
No, not even an old passport,
but maybe that was her,
a organised woman who lived alone
and had a good clear out every year.
Yeah, but she still had a past, Jac:
parents or childhood, previous address.
And, well where was she before Home Steps?
Did she pay tax?
Where was she born?
Where did she go to school?
We've gotta build a picture of this woman.
I'm collecting a list of everyone who knew the park
was her special place.
Well, that's probably everyone from Home Steps.
How we doing interviewin' the residents.
The only people we haven't made initial contact with
are Ayisha Nassar and Beth Draper.
Who's Beth Draper?
Er, like Ayisha Nassar,
she also moved on from the project last weekend.
No eviction though, she was being reunited
with her daughter in a flat.
Beth?
She could be this B she was due to meet on Saturday.
[Jac] Yes ma'am.
Although she was off duty on Saturday.
Hmm.
Have we got an address yet for this Ayisha?
Er, I've spoken with the manager
of a drop-in service that she uses.
She's pretty confident Ayisha will be
at this afternoon's session; it's 3 til 5 p.m. on Lean Road.
Right.
Aiden, leave that, come on.
[upbeat music]
[horn beeping]
[Ayisha] What happened to her?
That's what we're investigating.
What do you want to speak to me for?
I don't know anything about it.
Er well, we understand she evicted yer on Friday.
Yeah, she kicked me out for no good reason.
If it wasn't for an old mate, I'd be on the street.
Not that she cared.
Why did she evict yer?
Weed, which I usually turn a blind eye to,
total overreaction and now I'm screwed.
Ah, she's not exactly in the best place herself, pet.
Ah yeah, well you never really know a person, do yer?
Oh, can you talk us through it?
How did the eviction come about exactly?
She came in, went through me stuff,
opened me drawers, found a bit of weed and that was it.
Why was she going through yer stuff in the first place?
I don't know, why don't you ask her?
Was there an argument?
Well I wasn't gonna to walk out without a fight, was I?
I told her what I thought.
Which was?
That the whole thing was a joke.
Would you say that was out of character?
To evict someone for having a tiny bit of weed?
Yeah, she was on the war path, I had no chance.
She had a face on her
from the minute she walked in the door.
Yeah well, aside from all of that,
would you say she was a good support worker?
She was all right.
Did she ever take you up to the National Park?
Oh, yeah there's a day in my life
I'll never get back again.
Now, was there anyone at the project
you had problems with?
Anyone who you think we should talk to?
I don't know, you're the detectives aren't yer?
Aye pet, we are, and we're trying to find out
what happened to her, so can you help us or not?
Have you spoken to Beth Draper?
They were really close.
In what sense?
They were joined at the hip, Beth's like a needy kid.
I bet she wouldn't of evicted her for having a bit of weed.
[chair scraping]
[tense music]
[Aiden] Beth!
That's empty, that one.
Er, we've got this as the address of a Beth Draper
and her daughter.
Er police, love.
Know her, but no one lives there.
You've not seen a woman and a teenage girl
moving stuff in or comin' or goin'?
No, sorry.
[sighs] All right, thanks love.
Get on to Jac, I want her found priority.
If she's not here or the housing project,
-where the hell is she? -[phone ringing]
Malcolm?
Have you got something for me?
[Malcolm] A match for the teapot,
same prints on the jacket and the boots.
Don't tell me, the park ranger.
[Malcolm] So it would seem.
[tense music]
Noel Henderson, you're being interviewed
in regard to the death of Angela Konan.
Do you understand why you're here?
Yes.
[door clattering]
For the purpose of the tape,
DCI Stanhope has entered the room.
So Noel, we need some answers from yer.
Okay, I mean, if, if, if I can help.
Oh, I'm sure you can.
Now then,
why did we find this teapot
hidden in the rafters of a bothy in the park
with your prints and bearing traces of psilocybin?
What?
Ah, that's magic mushrooms to you pet.
Hmm,
we're waiting.
-I make medicine with them. -Medicine?
It's a class A drug.
I have tea ceremonies.
Mushroom tea ceremonies?
Being in nature helps with my anxiety.
[Vera makes a sound with her lips]
What, will I lose my job?
Oh, that's the least of yer worries, pet.
Well, were you in the bothy on Saturday night?
Is that a crime?
What time were you there?
Around nine.
And how long did you stay?
I can't remember.
-Who were you with? -Nobody.
-I was alone. -Did you see Angela?
No.
Ah, maybe she interrupted your little ceremony?
-No. -Did you see anyone at all?
The tea was pretty strong, I-I can't remember.
Well, we know Angela was at the bothy on Saturday night,
but of course you know that, don't you,
because you found her boots and stuff.
Sorry, c-can I stop please?
Well, I'll ask you again.
Were they there on Saturday night?
Maybe, I dunno.
But that's not good enough, were they or weren't they?
I was focused on the tea.
If you can't remember anything,
how do you know you didn't bump into Angela
and attack her in that bothy?
'Cause somebody did!
Me, attack someone?
W-why would I attack anyone?
I wouldn't, I know I wouldn't.
I would've remembered that.
Are you sure you'd of remembered?
Yeah, of course I would.
So when you say you can't remember,
that's not really true, is it?
No, I mean ...
Yes it is.
Yeah, well which is it?
[breathes heavily] I didn't realise how strong it was.
I thought I was hallucinating and the thing is,
it's, it's all still a bit of a blur.
I thought, I just thought it was the mushrooms,
but I didn't realise until after I saw her.
But now I don't know if ...
Are you saying you did see Angela on Saturday night?
She was just lying there
and I didn't think she was real.
Where did you see her, in the bothy?
Er, she was in the woods.
So, when you found her on Tuesday,
you were actually looking for her.
You already knew she was there.
-No. -You must have.
You knew she was real
because you'd found her things the night before?
No, I didn't, I swear.
I didn't know what I thought.
Did you speak to her on Saturday?
No, she looked like she was sleeping.
She was, she was on the ground,
but not where I found her on Tuesday, somewhere different.
She'd moved?
So, she was definitely still alive
when you saw her on Saturday?
Yeah.
-Hah, meaning that poor woman -[melancholy music]
had been stumbling through that park dying,
looking for someone to help her.
I could have saved her.
I want him done for possession
and I want him held until I'm sure
he absolutely had no physical contact
with Angela on Saturday.
Yes ma'am.
Now then, we need to talk to this elusive Beth Draper,
have we got the next of kin address.
Yeah, we've got it, do you wanna go there now?
Well yes, now.
Jac,
where are we digging into our victim's past?
Er nothing yet, ma'am.
Mark's on to it now.
Look, I hope no one thinks
because this woman lives alone and has no family,
the pressure's not on to find her attacker.
I want every woman at Home Steps looked at thoroughly.
Reports on my desk in the morning.
-Bye. -[tense music]
[doors clattering]
Er, excuse me pet.
Are you Beth Draper's daughter?
Yeah, who wants to know?
Er, police love.
Erm, we're looking for your mam.
What's happening now, is she being arrested?
Do you know where she is?
Sorry, can I, can I help you?
Er, DCI Vera Stanhope, DS Healy,
we're looking for Beth Draper.
Can't this wait until the morning?
I'm afraid not.
When was the last time any of you saw her
or heard from her?
Saturday, is she okay?
She's not in any trouble, is she?
Now, the address we have for her
is a flat on Cairn Street, is that right?
Yeah, yeah she was supposed to move in last Saturday,
but there's been a delay.
Is that what you call it?
She messed it up again?
It was never gonna happen,
why would she even bother giving us a key?
Maya!
Me mam's changed her mind
about actually wanting to be a parent
for the first time in her life.
[door slams]
Do you know a woman called Angela Konan?
Yeah, she's Beth's support worker.
Well, I'm afraid she was found dead yesterday.
-Oh no. -What?
Oh God.
Oh, Beth will be devastated.
We understand that they were close.
Yeah, she were like a mother to her.
Did the two of you know Angela?
Yeah, she were about the only person
Beth would speak to sometimes.
So, we'd often go through Angela to speak
or arrange summit with Beth, wouldn't we.
Yeah, that's right.
And how long have you been looking after your niece?
On and off, for five years.
So, this was supposed to be a fresh start for everyone?
-[she sighs] -That was the idea.
So what happened, hmm?
Why did Beth change her mind about moving?
We don't know.
She turned up here last Saturday in a terrible state.
Said she couldn't cope and she wasn't ready.
Did she say why, had something happened?
I couldn't get any real sense out of her,
but she did say summit about being let down again.
Do you know if she met with Angela on Saturday,
in the morning, perhaps?
I don't, sorry.
I'm going out!
-[tense music] -[door clatters]
[he sighs]
Do you know where we can find Beth?
Try Shaun Barrow.
Shaun Barrow, is that a boyfriend?
Hm, if you can call it that.
An awful human being.
Angela did everything she could
to keep Beth away from him, but she kept going back.
The last time she relapsed was because of him.
Angela went round there and literally
-dragged her out, didn't she? -Or tried to.
So he knew Angela?
Oh they knew each other,
but they most certainly were not friends.
[tyres rumbling]
So what we have is a vulnerable woman,
trying to stay clean
and get her life back on track with her daughter
and a small time career criminal
she can't seem to stay away from.
When did the family last see Beth?
Saturday, when she told her daughter
that the move to the new flat was off.
Oh sorry, ma'am.
Oh Mark, you're here.
I hope you've got something for me.
Well, I had an early appointment at the registry office.
I checked through the deed poll records.
Right.
Well Angela's birth name was Rachel Angela Konan,
married named Kassin.
Finally some light shed on this woman.
Well done Mark, good work.
So, who is she married to?
Er, Jack Kassin,
who she ran a family restaurant with in the late nineties
and it's still there.
[brooding music]
[bell ringing]
We're not open yet.
Actually, we're looking for a Jack Kassin.
-What's this about? -Er, do you know him?
He's our dad.
-Jack Kassin? -Yes?
Who wants to know?
So, what's this about?
Er, there's no easy way to say this,
er but I'm afraid we found the body of a woman
in the National Park at the weekend.
[Jack] Right?
And we believe it to be that of your wife.
What?
We're very, very sorry.
How do you know it's her?
We found identification at the scene.
In whose name?
So you were aware that she had changed her name?
Yes, we knew.
Not like we wanted to find her anyway.
The ID was under the name of Angela Konan.
When did you last see your wife, sir?
Erm,
July 1999.
But the two of you are still married, is that right?
Well, you can't divorce someone you can't find.
I didn't want a divorce.
When was the last time you saw your mother?
We haven't seen her since she left.
So there's been no relationship at all?
No.
How did she die?
I'm afraid, I can't give you
those details at the moment, sir.
Now, would you be able to identify
your wife's body, Mr. Kassin?
-Yes. -No.
She really has nothing to do with us.
I'll do it.
No, why?
Because she was our mother.
Seriously?
-Stop both of you. -[melancholy music]
I will do it.
I will come now if you like.
It's okay Mr. Kassin, you can take your time.
We'll make you an appointment, get you a car if needed.
[bell rings]
That was a bombshell for him.
Hm, leaving your kids aged what?
Ten?
The woman must have been desperate.
Let's do a background check on him,
see there's no reports of any domestics.
-[phone rings] -DS Healy, yes?
Great, thank you.
What?
Get away from me, I don't want your help!
She was the only one that cared.
Please go away!
DCI Stanhope.
[Beth weeping]
Beth?
-Yeah, oh God. -[dramatic music]
Hey, that's some temper you've got on you there, Beth.
How's the hand?
Do you feel up to answering some questions, hm?
Where have you been for the last five days?
Here and there, different mates.
Your sister mentioned a boyfriend, Shaun,
have you been staying with him?
Mostly, yeah.
-Anywhere else? -Er no, I've been there.
Do you wanna tell us about your relationship with Angela?
What do you wanna know?
Well, we understand the two of you were close.
Yeah, I guess.
Joined at the hip, we heard.
Well, she was there for everyone, but
yeah, we were pretty tight.
Was there a specific reason for that?
Did you bond over something?
She knew I was desperate to get my daughter back.
And she was helping you do that?
Yeah, and she helped me get the flat.
Why didn't you move in on Saturday?
[sighs] Cold feet?
Yeah, I do wanna be with Maya, I just ...
Was Angela supposed to meet yer on Saturday morning?
Yeah, at the flat, but she didn't turn up.
Did she call yer, message?
No, nothing.
And that was a first, was it?
-No show, no contact? -Yeah.
Ooh, how did that make you feel, hm?
-Upset? -Not really.
-Confused? -Maybe.
Did you try and call her?
Yeah, but she didn't answer.
Do you have a pay-as-you-go phone by any chance?
Yeah.
[tense music]
How'd your boyfriend get on with Angela?
What, why?
It's just a straight forward question.
Well, they didn't really know each other.
-But they'd met? -Yeah.
How did he feel about you getting your own place?
Fine.
Did Angela ever talk about her personal life,
her family, friends?
Oh there was a bloke she met.
-A boyfriend? -No, I don't think so.
Like more like a mate or something,
they used to meet up at the park.
Are you sure about that love,
because we understood she was a solitary sort of person
outside of work.
Liked to walk alone.
Yeah, no, I'm sure she told me.
What was his name?
I don't know, I'm sorry.
When can I go home?
Oh, come on, we'll give you a lift,
all part of the service.
[tyres rumbling]
[door clattering]
I thought you were going home?
I'm homeless, remember?
I wanna take a bath.
Thanks for dropping her off.
Just shut the door on the way out.
Nah, we've got some questions for yer, Mr. Barrow.
Yeah, what about?
Well Beth says that she spent the weekend here with you.
Is that right?
I don't have to talk to you.
Oh, is there a reason you wouldn't
want to help us with our inquiries?
I'm just saying, I don't have to speak to you.
Whose flat is this, is it yours?
Nah, it's my brother's.
[Vera whistles]
Looking after it for him.
So what inquiries?
Er, we're investigating the death of Angela Konan.
She's dead?
So you knew her then?
Yeah, nosy old cow.
How charming.
Well she was, she had no life of her own
so she stuck her beak in everyone else's.
When did you last see her?
-Don't know. -Recently?
-Nah. -[tense music]
Anything else?
I've got stuff to do.
No, no that's it.
We will speak again though,
and you can shut the door yourself.
[door slams]
Well, there's no love lost there.
Ah, a fellow like that has love for no one.
He's a wrongun, and Angela was onto him.
-[rain pouring] -[tyres splashing]
[melancholy music]
[umbrella shaking]
Mr. Kassin, can you tell me a little about your wife?
Well, she was amazing.
Kind, clever, beautiful,
and an addict.
What, drink or drugs?
Everything and anything.
Tough childhood you see, never really left her.
I tried to make up for it, but
that didn't work.
Er, well I'm not sure it ever does.
Er, how did you know she'd changed her name?
I tracked her down just over 12 years ago.
She was sober, clean, better.
So you lied?
I didn't wanna say it in front of my kids, but
I wanted us to try again, which is daft, I know
given everything that's happened, but
I never gave up hope, you know, but she'd moved on,
said it was too late.
Said the kids would never accept her.
I became a bit unwell at the time.
I had a bit of a breakdown, you know.
Hm, why'd she change her name?
Even though she was in recovery, she was still
ashamed
of leaving the kids.
I think she changed it so they'd never find her.
-[sighs] Poor fella. -Aye,
he's certainly been through it, that's for sure.
So what are you thinking?
I'm thinking she might've started drinking again.
She's not filling in her paperwork properly,
she missed that meeting with Beth on Saturday.
Evicted Ayisha.
Yeah, there's that.
So let's say she was secretly drinking
whilst trying to support women in recovery,
women she genuinely cared about.
So is she drinking because she's stressed
or stressed because she's drinking?
Ma'am, you'll wanna see this.
What am I lookin' at?
It's historical CCTV from the Visitor Centre.
This is two months ago on Friday the 2nd of August at 10:25.
There's Angela outside.
-Oh, with the scarf. -Yeah.
And there she is inside the centre on the 16th of August.
Oh, here he is, Tweedledee.
Wait for it, on the 10th of July,
look at what he does now.
He's the man that Beth said she was meeting up there?
We've got three more clips like that.
Angela going in, then Stanley serving and joining her.
How long does he sit with her?
Between 10 and 18 minutes each time.
And you said you didn't know her, Stanley.
Oh he knew her.
On two of those meetings, they leave together.
[tense music]
[birds singing]
[Stanley sighs]
[Vera] Mr. Booth.
Back again?
-Oh aye. -[dog barks]
Where were yer on Saturday night?
I was, I was at me sister's, it was my nephew's birthday.
-All night? -Yeah, most of it.
Where does your sister live?
Other side of town, about half an hour or so away.
Now, is this you with Angela Konan on July the 10th?
And again on August the 2nd?
And again on August the 16th?
[Stanley] It looks like it.
-So yes? -Yes.
So, you lied when you told us
you knew her only a little.
Look, I'm, er I apologise if I wasn't clear enough.
Now, it's not a question of being clear, love,
it's a question of lying.
I didn't lie.
So where did the two of you go after you left the centre?
-For a walk. -A walk, where?
Around the park.
What, so you spent hours together!
It was a regular occurrence.
Yes, sometimes.
When d'you last see Angela alive?
Oh, not for a while.
Be specific.
[sniffs] Four weeks ago.
How often do you talk to her?
Um, it wasn't a regular thing, it was just casual.
She'd come into the centre, I'd be there.
Ah, come off it, you can just leave your post
at the centre, can yer?
Go for a walk whenever you feel like it?
Or did she miraculously turn up at the end of yer shift?
Did the two of you exchange calls, messages?
No.
So we won't find her details on your mobile?
We could always check Angela's phone records.
No, wait er,
yeah I think we, we, we did exchange numbers at some point.
So another lie.
I hope you've got the name of a good solicitor, Stanley,
'cause you're going to need it.
[brooding music]
[Stanley sighs]
Get me a warrant to search his house.
With pleasure.
I'll drop you at the station.
Do you recognise him?
I think so.
I can't think where from, though.
No, take yer time, love, take yer time.
I know, yeah I've seen him outside Home Steps.
What? What was he doing there?
I dunno, just him being weird.
How'd you mean weird, what was he doing?
Just, you know, hanging round.
When was this?
A few weeks back, not long ago.
Angela had to tell him to leave.
And you're sure it was him?
Yeah.
-Yeah, I'm sure. -Thanks, love.
-Thanks. -[tense music]
-[door slams] -[engine starting]
We found nothing, ma'am.
Yeah, well get 'em to keep lookin'.
Beth Draper's just ID'd him
as hanging around Home Steps a week and a half ago.
What?
-He's got some front. -Aye, hasn't he just.
Ma'am, we've got something.
Oh, ye of little faith.
[tense music]
-Well, well, well. -[bag crunching]
Can you explain why this scarf
worn by the deceased on the day she died
was under your bed?
Mr. Booth.
And can you explain why this item was also under your bed?
I didn't hurt her.
Just answer the question.
Why were these items found in your possession?
I took 'em.
What, when you attacked her?
No, from the lost property box.
Ah, so you just decided to stuff 'em in your pocket
and then hide them in yer house?
They weren't hidden.
You knew that scarf was Angela's.
I didn't.
We've got you on CCTV with her
when she was wearing it on several occasions.
So when you took these items from the lost property box,
you knew they belonged to Angela, didn't yer?
I didn't know she was dead.
I don't know why I took 'em or why I lied.
Well, I lied because I took 'em.
You also lied about the nature
of your relationship with Angela.
No, we had a connection.
What kind of connection?
-It was private. -[Aiden sighs]
Oh, describe it.
Oh,
she trusted me.
She could talk to me about personal stuff.
For example?
Family.
Look, I'm getting sick of your cryptic answers, love.
You're friends, here you are.
That's you, isn't it?
Was brutally attacked and left to die
and her personal items are found in your possession.
That's not lookin' good love, tell 'im.
All right.
She hasn't seen her kids for a long time,
I know it really bothered her.
This has got something to do with them, I'm sure it has.
What makes you say that?
Er, a few weeks back sh-she tried
to get in touch with them;
that's when she went funny on me.
After that we stopped our walks
and she wouldn't return my calls or message me back.
Is that when you attacked her?
No, I didn't.
Oh, is that why you went up to
Home Steps Housing Project looking for her,
'cause she was ignoring yer?
[stutters] That was a misunderstanding, I-I was confused.
Did you turn up anywhere else?
Only a few times.
A few times?
And did she tell you to stop turning up?
Sometimes people don't know what's best for them.
Listen, love.
When a woman says, "Go away," she means go away.
And when a woman stops answering your calls
and your messages, she means go away!
Now, did you follow her up to the bothy on Saturday?
No, I didn't see her on Saturday.
So when did you last see her?
-Friday. -Oh, give me strength.
You saw her on Friday and didn't think to tell us?
I followed her from her house on Friday morning.
I-I didn't speak to her, I promise.
What, you were stalking 'er?
No, I was, I was desperate.
I-I was worried.
I loved her.
[brooding music]
Tell us precisely what happened on Friday.
I followed her to a cafe on Market Square.
Er, I was gonna go inside, but I didn't wanna surprise her.
Scare her, more like.
I waited outside.
And when she left, I went back to work.
You can check what time I arrived, you've got the CCTV.
Oh, we will, love.
Look I'm, I'm really sorry I took her things,
I truly am, but
I would never, ever hurt Angela, never.
You have to believe me.
Do you believe him?
I believe he's deluded.
But no, I don't think he killed her.
So where does that leave us, back to square one?
[tense music]
Now, you say you left and went back to work on Friday.
I told you I did.
But you waited and watched her leave the cafe?
Yeah.
I think you followed her, Stanley.
You'd already followed her all the way from her home.
I couldn't follow her, she got into a car.
Whose car?
I dunno.
Look, don't lie to me, Stanley,
you're already looking at perverting the course of justice.
This isn't about making yourself look less bad.
It's about finding out whoever it was
attacked your friend, hm?
Now you're telling me she got into some car.
-She did. -Whose car?
I didn't see.
Well, what type of car was it, what colour?
Uh, grey maybe?
Might've been a Mercedes.
[tense music]
Aiden?
It looks like Stanley was telling the truth,
his alibi stands up, his sister's-
Listen to this,
we're going to find out why Jack Kassin
failed to mention Angela had been in touch with him
in the weeks leading up to her death,
and to find out where he was on Friday morning.
Where were you between eight and 9:15 on Friday morning?
What's this about?
Answer the question please, sir.
I'm not sure, I'll have to check my diary.
You've got a grey Mercedes, don't yer?
Yes, but ...
Angela was picked up in a grey Mercedes on Friday morning.
It must be a coincidence, it wasn't me.
Has she contacted you lately?
No, I-I've said.
Now I think we'll finish this down at the station.
This is ridiculous.
Now, I've had enough lies for one day, love.
This way please, Mr. Kassin.
It, it was me
in the car.
-I picked her up. -What?
She contacted me three and a half weeks ago.
After all this time?
How'd you feel about yer mam contacting you?
Angela, I didn't feel anything.
Did you want contact with her?
You met her more than once.
Yeah well, the first time we met was weird.
I was curious, but no, I didn't want contact with her.
So it wasn't upsetting when the reunion didn't go well?
It wasn't exactly a reunion, but yeah,
I suppose on some level it didn't feel great.
Why do you think she approached you and not your brother?
I really don't know.
Perhaps she thought we'd have some sort of female bond.
-But you didn't? -Clearly not.
Why didn't you tell your dad, your mam had contacted you?
Do you know what she did to him?
Ah now, I do know your dad
took the breakdown of his marriage hard.
She rejected him again 12 years ago
and he tried to kill himself.
There's no way I was gonna let him get hurt again,
he thinks I don't know.
Did you have a car accident on Friday?
I wouldn't call it an accident.
It's just that your mother, Angela,
she had visible injuries from an accident.
Hm.
Er, I had to make an emergency brake.
Hm, so why exactly?
I could smell the drink on her
but she just kept denying it.
After all that talk about being a different person,
she actually hadn't changed at all.
Ooh, that made you angry?
Yes, I was angry.
Okay love, let's just get this straight.
You met her the first time and it was odd.
And then you met her again just to see if there was a future
-and there wasn't. -That's right.
So, my question to you is this,
why do you meet her again on Friday?
Because that awful lass came to the restaurant.
What lass?
[sighs] It was just some sort of protege of hers,
wanting to let me know how her Angela was,
how she didn't deserve it
and what an amazing person she was.
-When was this? -Thursday night.
-Did Angela know about that? -No,
and she were angry herself,
that someone from the place where she worked
would just barge into our lives.
What did this lass look like?
Early thirties,
pendant with the letter M on.
You've got some explaining to do, Beth Draper.
[tyres rumbling]
-It's the police, open up! -Oh!
[Vera] Open up, police.
[fist banging on the door]
What do you want?
-Aw! -We have a warrant, love.
-Now, where's Beth? -You've just missed her.
Oh, having a small party?
A small one, is it a crime?
No love, it isn't.
-But this is. -[Shaun sighs]
[tense music]
She's on the move!
She's gone out the back!
Shaun Barrow, I'm arresting you
for possession of a class A drug.
Beth!
-[Aiden sighs] -[dog barking]
Do you sell anything else,
apart from the 20 grammes of cocaine
we retrieved from your flat?
-That's not mine. -Well, whose is it?
-Your brothers? -No idea.
That happen a lot, does it?
People leaving cocaine on the back of yer sofa?
Hm.
When we attended your flat today,
Beth Draper had just left.
Hm, any idea how she came about
those injuries on her face?
None whatsoever.
Ah, so you're saying
you had nothing to do with those injuries?
Definitely not.
Now we'd like to talk about Angela Konan.
[sighs] Go on.
Can you tell us about your relationship with her?
There's nothing to tell.
I've had to tell her to do one a few times, like.
And when is the last time you had to tell her to do one?
-Saturday? -No.
How do you feel about Beth getting her own flat?
None of my business or yours.
So you were okay with Angela helping yer girlfriend
to gain independence?
She's not my girlfriend.
Well, it certainly seems that way.
I can't help it if she likes being around me,
she just turns up.
If I'm honest, I feel sorry for her.
She's a bit of a loon.
-A loon? -Yeah, you know?
Nuts, like most women.
Now listen, whatever happens here
in the next minute and hours
is going to determine your future.
So you need to think very carefully
about your exact movements on Saturday night
and whether anyone can vouch for them.
I had some business with a mate.
Illegal business, I'm guessing.
What time did yer leave and return to the flat.
Early, and late.
Don't push it, Shaun.
I left at seven, I got home at two, 2:30.
So you've no idea if Beth was in the flat
between those hours?
None whatsoever.
Shall I tell you what I think?
Well, I'm sure you're going to.
Hm, underneath all that bravado
is just a sad little bully.
Right, is that what you think, yeah?
Hm, did you try to bully Angela, did she stand up to yer?
No, look, I've got better things to do
than leg it uphills after some old bat.
Like I said, no idea where Beth was Saturday night.
So why don't you take your little notebook
and go and speak to her?
[brooding music]
[Aiden] For the purposes of the tape,
DCI Stanhope entered the room.
Tell us what happened to yer face, did Shaun do that?
Shaun wouldn't touch me, he's not like that.
Why am I here?
Ah well, just so's you know,
your alibi for Saturday night doesn't hold up.
But I was with Shaun.
Well, he's just told us different.
Didn't take him long, did it?
Not long at all.
He said some other nasty, disrespectful things as well.
Hm okay, let's go back to last week.
Where were you Thursday evening?
Er, nowhere special, I was with Maya for a bit.
What about after that?
Did you go to town?
To see Laura, Angela's daughter?
I wanted to help.
Ah, you told us you didn't know her family,
that you didn't talk about her personal life.
She didn't, usually not ever.
It was just in the last couple of weeks
that I knew something was up.
[Vera] Well, how do you know that?
Well she, she'd started drinking.
I mean, nobody else noticed, but I knew her.
And then on Wednesday night, er
I-I caught her drinking at work, I just,
I wanted to support her, I felt protective of her.
Did you tell Darlene?
-No. -Hm?
I-I got rid of the drink
and that is when she told me about the kids.
But she, she was so upset, she was in a state.
I've never seen her like that before.
She was saying that she was a terrible person,
an awful mother, which I knew couldn't be true.
What did you say to Laura at the restaurant?
That Angela deserved a second chance.
Look, people make mistakes, don't they?
I do, I make them all the time.
How did Angela react when you told her
you'd approached her daughter?
She was disappointed and hurt.
-And angry? -A bit.
-Were you angry? -A bit, yeah.
I'd just wanted to help.
It's another mistake, I guess.
And did that anger grow over the next 24 hours, Beth?
What, no.
Well, it influenced your decision
about moving into the flat,
which in turn upset your daughter
who went missing for most of the weekend
which caused more upset.
Now, did that fuel your anger, love?
No, I mean, it did affect me, but-
Did you go looking for Angela when she didn't turn up
to help you move into your flat?
When she wasn't answering yer calls?
No, I honestly didn't.
I think you took a punt that she was up at the park,
her favourite place.
I didn't go to the park.
The last time I was up there was weeks ago with Maya.
With Maya?
Yeah, we, we were paddling in the stream.
Has Maya been to the bothy?
No, no she didn't.
Did Maya know Angela was up there on Saturday night?
Could she have found out?
Did Maya do that to yer face?
[brooding music]
No comment.
Interview terminated 13:07.
No wait, w-why are you stopping it?
Where are you going?
[door clatters]
[music intensifies]
[knuckles rapping on the door]
Is Maya here, love?
Wait, what's going on?
No we, we need to talk to Maya.
Well, she's at school.
Well, she might have been there
at nine o'clock this morning, but she's not there now.
[Vera sighs]
-Aiden. -Oh my God.
Oh, what's she done?
Oh, all right love,
now, can you jot down the names and numbers
of anyone she might be with or anywhere she might've gone?
That's everyone we can think of.
Okay, thank you.
On Saturday, after Beth left,
having told Maya the move was off, you say she ran off then?
Aye, but she didn't take any of her stuff with her.
Right, thanks.
Get all of the team out looking for her,
distressed, vulnerable 15 year old
and get an officer over here in case she turns up.
Has Maya Draper been here today?
No, is everything okay?
Did you know Angela had a history
of alcohol and substance abuse?
No.
Did you ever have that conversation with her?
It never came up, but it did cross my mind.
Well, if you suspected there was an issue,
you should have brought it up with her.
I'm not sure you realise the time and energy
it takes to support the women here.
But you have a duty of care to your staff
as well as the residents?
Yes, yes you're right and I feel awful, okay.
I'm sorry, this was ...
What?
[sighs] I should have been here on Friday.
If I had, then maybe ...
Look, I don't know what's going on,
and Maya hasn't been here,
but she did call.
When did she call?
Saturday.
What for?
[sighs] She wanted to make a complaint about Angela.
What about?
About her alleged drinking, I talked her out of it.
So, you knew Angela had been drinking
and still, you didn't think to tell us?
I didn't believe Maya,
which is why I didn't record the complaint.
I was trying to protect her, she could have lost her job.
Aye, and put a spanner in the works
for your funding bid.
Yes, if this place closes,
they lose the only home they have.
Instead a woman has lost her life.
Where's the key for Beth's new flat?
-Did she give it back? -No, just ask.
Good thinkin', let's go find 'er.
It's all right love, step back.
Hello?
Maya?
That's her bag.
[tense music]
God, baby!
Maya, baby!
Call an ambulance.
Maya, Maya, please!
Can you hear me?
Maya, wake up!
Please, Maya!
Maya, Maya can you hear me?
We're leaving now.
-Yeah, and how is she? -Quiet.
They're happy it's a case of reckless over-indulgence.
Right, now the Maxwells are here.
Duncan's gonna act as appropriate adult.
We'll be in the soft room.
-Okay, I'll see you soon. -Right.
Right you, come on.
Now, your brother-in-law has agreed
to act as an appropriate adult.
She's in no fit state to be interviewed,
she should be going home.
A woman has died love, or have you forgotten?
Now, is there anything you want to tell me
before I bring her in?
I'm a terrible mam.
Oh, there's a time for pity parties, love,
and it's not now; your daughter needs yer.
Come in, come in.
Thanks Jac.
Now I want direct honest answers from all of yer.
Does Maya have a history of violent behaviour?
Yes.
-This isn't the first time. -What, that's a lie.
Oh Beth come on.
This is ridiculous, she's a child.
Beth, does your daughter attack yer?
-No. -Yes.
Well, that eye tells us different, love.
When did she give you that?
She came to Shaun's last night.
[Duncan sighs]
Now, what time did she leave your house on Saturday?
Just after Beth left, around one.
Did she say where she was goin'?
[Lou] Into town to meet her mates.
She was supposed to be back by four,
but by 4:30, there were no sign of her.
[Duncan] I went to try and find her.
-And did you find her? -Two hours later,
sat under the bridge on Binder Street.
Will you stop, this is insane.
[knuckles rapping on the door]
Ma'am?
[tense music]
She's being processed downstairs.
Did she say anything in the car?
Nope, not a word.
How are you feeling?
Like shit.
My head's bangin', when can I go home?
I know, I need to ask yer some questions
about Angela Konan.
You made a complaint about 'er?
So, she was drunk at a meetin'.
-When was this? -A week ago.
So why did you wait until Saturday to make the complaint?
I can make a complaint whenever I like,
there's no time limit.
Yeah, but why Saturday?
-You know why? -No.
Because me mam wanted to go back
and live in that dive instead of being a proper mam.
Ah, now last night,
when you turned up at Shaun Barrow's place, what happened?
Hmm?
That's a nasty black eye yer mam has.
Yeah well she wouldn't leave.
Happens a lot does it, you lashing out at people?
I don't go around beating people up
if that's what you mean.
Ah, just your mam, is it?
-Where were you on Saturday? -Out!
You left the house at 1:00 p.m., is that right?
I don't know, I don't wanna be here, I wanna go.
-Sit down. -No, I wanna go home.
Well you can't, just sit.
Or what, am I under arrest?
You're under police caution.
What the hell, well what, you're just gonna sit there?
Now, where'd you go when you left the house?
To the bus stop, obviously.
And what about when he got to town, who did you meet?
-Some girls from school. -Who?
I can't remember.
Can we take a break for a minute, she's struggling?
No, we can't.
Did you go up to the National Park on Saturday,
specifically to a bothy?
What's a bothy?
Please let her have a break.
What time did you get back on Saturday?
You were supposed to be back by four o'clock.
I'm never back by four, am I, tell 'em.
Answer the question, what time did you arrive home?
[sighs] It was around seven, or just after.
How did your uncle know where to find yer?
'Cause I called him, obviously.
Didn't I!
Well, did she?
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
-He's covering for her. -Right.
He never mentioned a phone call.
-Jac, Maya's phone records. -Oh yer desk, ma'am.
He said he went out looking for her
and eventually found her;
not he went looking for her
and she calls to say where to pick her up.
They both said that; him and Lou.
Gotcha.
Aiden, the last three digits of Duncan's number?
Eight, zero, nine.
Right, now then she made a call at 18:06.
How long would you say from the bridge on Binder Street
where he said he found her, to the Maxwell's house?
10 minutes tops.
Well, he said they got back at seven.
That's 40 minutes unaccounted for.
Maybe they stopped off?
Or maybe he picked her up somewhere else,
like the park, which is 40 minutes.
Er ma'am, I've got a printout of the mast pings.
Thanks Mark.
Here we are, 18:06.
Oh no,
she was on Binder Street.
[Aiden sighs]
[Aiden] What is it?
Oh, Mr. Maxwell, sorry.
Erm, you left home at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday to look for Maya
and returned at 7:00 p.m.
-That's right, isn't it? -Yeah.
So that's three hours a lookin'?
Did you call Maya's friends?
Er, Lou was doing that at home.
Why didn't you mention Maya had called yer?
I thought I did, erm sorry.
Can you tell us where you were
when you received the call at 18:06?
Erm, oh I don't know.
Well, I can enlighten you, love.
You were a quarter of a mile from the National Park,
the place where Angela Konan was attacked and left to die.
You have the right to have a solicitor present.
No I'm, I'm fine.
So why were you up there at 18:06?
I don't remember being there.
I think you've been lying to us from the start
and I think you are responsible
for the death of Angela Konan.
Er, what, no, no!
That on Saturday afternoon you went up
to the north side of the National Park
and confronted her in a bothy,
a confrontation that led to an undignified
and terrifying death.
And almost as bad, you were happy
to sit next to an innocent 15 year old lass,
and let her take the blame for your actions.
Am I correct?
Yes.
I was angry.
I wanted answers.
Oh,
she always let Beth get away with
shirking her responsibilities.
Yeah, that was her job!
To support her.
Well, what about support for us?
For my wife?
Our lives have been taken over by Beth for too long.
I was, I was sick of never getting any answers.
We'd been building up to this move for months,
building Maya up for it and just like that,
-[fingers click] -it's over.
How did you know where to find 'er?
I've, I've called her before on many occasions,
only to be dismissed
or ignored.
So what about boundaries, see, professional boundaries,
client boundaries, resident boundaries?
It doesn't matter how many times they screw up,
doesn't matter how many times
they lie and cheat and steal and lie again.
No, it's all about respecting their space
and allowing them the opportunity to,
to turn their lives around,
well as if that's ever gonna happen.
Meanwhile we, the ones absorbing their reckless behaviour,
we have no life, we have no life!
Do you wanna tell us what happened in the bothy?
I er,
I drove up there to talk.
I wanted her to intervene
and persuade Beth to take the flat.
I begged, hm,
I was, I was actually begging.
But she, she wouldn't listen.
Well, perhaps she was scared?
Perhaps you turning up in the middle of nowhere
was unnerving for her?
Well, how else are you supposed
to get through to these people?
No, [weeps], oh.
Oh, it was like
all the years of being the good uncle,
the good husband,
the good brother-in-law, I ...
I, I couldn't stop
the, the, the rage.
Ah, we could see that, love,
from the extent of her injuries.
Well, I went back.
I got halfway to the car, and I,
and I came back to my senses.
You returned to the bothy?
She was gone.
I-I assumed she'd gone to find help herself.
Oh aye, she had, love.
She failed and died in a ditch.
I didn't know how serious it was.
[door clatters]
I swear to God.
I, I had no idea, huh.
Duncan Maxwell, I'm arresting you
for the manslaughter of Angela Konan.
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.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
[gentle music]
Beth there.
Look, you did well today, Beth.
It doesn't feel like it.
Ah well, give it time, you'll see.
I ditched Shaun.
Pleased to hear it.
And I'm gonna keep the flat.
Oh, that's good.
I mean, I don't think Maya
would wanna live with me though.
Well, from what I saw, there's nothing she wants more,
she's just gotta learn to lose that temper a hers,
or you've gotta learn to duck. [laughs]
Do you think they're gonna be okay?
Er, well your guess is as good as mine, love.
We shouldn't be afraid about this gift.
Come here.
There, they're gonna be fine.
[gentle music]
[doors clattering]
[engine starting]
[upbeat theme music]
