Please, help! My baby's in here!
I'm coming. Oh!
No! The body's in there... in the lift.
The lift fills with water, and he's trapped.
Me, be a councillor? No. Yeah. No. No.
I'd have to stand for election.
Yeah, but Jo's only just six months. I'm seven months.
I put the lift man's DNA into an ancestry site,
and they've got a match.
The match is with your brother.
Your brother died just under a week ago.
My brother died five years ago!
Hi.
I'm sorry. I... I get it...
not wanting to say how pregnant you were
so you could start the course.
I just wish that I hadn't found out in front of other people.
And I don't like thinking that you couldn't tell me.
I just think I panicked.
I'm sorry.
Are you gonna get that?
Er... It'll just be Deepa. You know, she can't live without me.
Yep. Deepa. Pat, sorry, I need some muscle.
Jo, can you get some cups, paper cups, three stacks, yeah?
Mm-hm. Sorry.
I just... I've got a massive, great big vat,
I can't move it. It's just next to the van.
OK. Brilliant, thank you. Yeah.
'You have one new message.'
'Take my calls right now.
'This is not a game. My brother died five years ago.
'I am looking at his ashes.' What's happened?
She's saying that her brother died five years ago,
but, I mean, that can't be, unless she has other brothers,
but then why wouldn't she say which brother?
What about a brother she doesn't know about?
Molly, we're all loaded up.
OK. It's fine, come on. Let's go. Molly! Where are you?
Pat, actually, sorry,
can you just make sure they don't topple over?
Yeah, just... just wedge 'em in or something.
Yeah. Actually, it's probably best if we sit with them.
Mm-hm. Yep.
How's your sister? Is she still flooded out, yeah?
Yeah, yeah. It's pretty bad, but...
so is having them living with us.
Hey, did I tell you, I put my name down to stand in the next...?
'You have one new message.'
'OK, so you try to ignore me? Fine.
'You have no idea what you've started.
'I am going to plague you, Jo Marshall.
'Je ne vais pas te lacher, Jo Marshall. Pas te lacher!'
Got it?
Mol? Oh, thank you.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on. Hang on.
Don't throw anything away you're gonna claim on insurance.
They'll be sending people down who'll wanna see it.
Oh, OK. Yeah. Pass it on.
If you're claiming, keep it. If you're claiming, keep it. Yeah?
Whoa, whoa, what're you doing? Empty, there's nothing in it.
Yeah, well, you just stick with paper cups, all right?
Can you take that? Cheers.
Hey, they're promising sunshine tomorrow, all day!
Do you want a hand?
Excuse me, is that fridge yours? What are you doing? Come away.
That... That is not his fridge. Yeah, nobody seems to mind but you.
Hang on.
What?
Been called in. Sorry.
And sorry about... No.
Sorry... Sorry is all I bloody say nowadays.
Look, I'll call you about tonight, all right?
See you later. Yeah.
There you go. There he is.
The dead bloke they found in the lift.
They've issued a whatsit, you know, E-FIT.
All look the same, though, don't they?
It don't look like anyone. Seen it? Do you recognise him?
Mum! Have you got a phone charger?
Oh, no, I haven't. Sorry, sweetheart.
Right, OK, I'm going home. I'll see you later.
Heya. I'll give you a hand.
Yeah. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Yeah.
Hi. Hey, how's it going?
Ugh, well, you know...
But... the Flood Relief Fund is back up and running.
Is it? Yes, it is, and as treasurer,
I think those getting development grants
should maybe remember that money comes from the people
paying their council tax on these streets, Mr Jack Radcliffe.
What? You... as treasurer.
Really? Yeah.
Come on. Come and have a brew.
Amy!
Jo!
I thought I'd come and get some of her toys and clothes, but...
Are you insured? Third party.
But who cares when the man who saved this one is...
well, God knows where?
Is there still no news? Nothing, no.
Hi.
Hi. How you doing?
Oh, OK.
Ugh! I'll get you.
Stop wriggling. No! Let go! Ah!
That's him.
So it IS her brother.
Pat?
Cover up, I'm coming in.
Shit.
Jo. Hi, I'm just seeing Kelly.
Sure.
I've just walked in on your Soph having sex in our house.
Yeah. She called and said.
We don't mind, he's a nice lad.
He's 19... and she's 15, just 15.
We'd rather she did it with him at home
than sneaking off somewhere with God knows who.
I'm a fucking police officer, Kel.
Pat's a police officer.
That's our home, and she's underage.
Excuse me, we're her parents.
Right. Well, I'll fucking arrest him if I find him there again, OK?
Oh, yeah, mustn't taint the idyllic love nest, must we?
Oh. Thought you were out with Pat tonight.
No, he's handling a few issues with Kelly, like...
don't let your underage daughter have sex in our spare room. Ugh.
Is it all right if I stay another night? Yeah, course it is.
Thanks. Also, I just need a bit of space to think
because I have royally fucked up,
putting that DNA into the genealogy site.
What, with the French woman?
Yeah. Oh, and it IS her brother that she's talking about, right.
Have a look at this.
So, this is an E-FIT of the man that we found in the lift,
and it's a good likeness. Mm-hm.
Right, and then this is Tasha Eden in France...
and this is the two of them together, both younger, but watch.
That's the man in the lift, I'm sure of it.
Well, that's... that's good, isn't it?
I mean, it is, and it isn't because what do I do with the information?
Do I show it to someone and definitely get the sack?
And she's saying her brother died five years ago,
which doesn't make sense.
And then I thought, briefly,
maybe I've found out enough to mitigate things,
because let's say somebody used the flood
to make us think that the man in the lift had drowned,
when, actually, he'd been murdered.
Well, that tells us there's a killer out there that needs to be caught.
Then I was thinking, OK, hang on, if I've got Tasha Eden's surname,
then I've got his surname, Eden,
but not if that's her married name, so...
Ugh! I don't know.
All I do know is that I seem to have upset her. Right, listen to this.
'I am going to plague you, Jo Marshall.
'Je ne vais pas te lacher, Jo Marshall. Pas te lacher!'
Don't think she's wishing me luck. Right, when did she leave that?
About... six, seven hours ago. What, and she hasn't called since?
No. Right, leave it, then.
She's got it off her chest, it's done, forget it.
When do you go back to detective training? Tomorrow.
Right. Forget about the lift man, it's fine.
Yeah? Yeah.
Breakfast is through there. I don't want breakfast.
I want a woman called Jo Marshall or whatever Jo stands for.
Joanna? Josephine? She lives in Waterside. Do you know her?
Would you ask around for me? Certainly.
Hey, you're back. Hey, yeah, I'm just looking for everyone.
Oh, they've all been sent to help out at Minton.
Yeah, no positive ID yet,
but they got 20, 30 names in the first six hours.
There'll be more now, I guess.
Deepa Das, why are you here? I'm going, Sarge, I'm gone.
Disappointing news, I'm afraid.
The trainee course is suspended till the flood emergency's over.
Oh. Yeah, and before I can put you back to work here,
you've gotta do a risk assessment.
How are you? Yeah, OK.
Great. Well done. Let's get to it.
Hm!
I've got too many officers off sick, so...
..phone round, gauge who's shirking...
..find out when I can expect 'em back.
There's the sick list. I will leave you to it.
Yep. Back in a bit.
Eden.
Hiya. Sorry to bother you.
My name is Molly Marshall,
and I'd like to stand as a candidate in the next local election,
but to do that, I need ten signatures.
Well, now you need nine. I'll get a pen.
Thank you, here, I've got one. Ah. Oh, thank you.
We've got local elections too next month.
Oh, right, so you don't live here?
No, I'm looking after me dad. I'm in Salford.
Ah.
I'll tell you what, I'll sign for him.
He won't mind, he's had a stroke.
Yeah, sorry. Excuse me.
Erm...
Ah, fine. Hiya?
'Mol, it's Jordan. I need you.'
Right, OK, it's... I'll be with you soon.
'No, listen, it's the insurance guy...'
OK, OK, I'll be with you sooner,
just... just don't agree to anything until I'm there. OK?
'You've gotta come now. OK?'
OK. OK. OK. Bye.
Sorry. There you go.
Derek Pinner. I made it a bit shaky.
OK. Well, get well soon.
Jo. Ah, yeah, so far, I'd say two are pulling sickies.
I've given them both an asterisk next to their name.
OK, great, thanks. Oh, er, the Allens, Don and Mary,
their grandson's asked to speak to the officers who found them.
His name's Finn, as in Huckleberry. You up for that?
Yeah, course. I'll let you know when.
And also, yes, you're on call to me, but you have an exam in five weeks,
so, as and when, feel free to revise.
Thanks, Sarge.
No! Look! Take a proper look!
Look! Look in the back! Molly, they're offering me nothing.
The first flooding, and he says I'm not insured,
which can't be true.
See, I pay by direct debit!
Business premises, as explained in Mr Jordan's policy,
aren't covered for flood damage. What? There's an exemption clause.
There's your signature. You signed this policy.
Right, OK, but it's hardly clear, though, is it?
Mr Jordan will have had 28 days to review his cover.
Yeah, all right, so he's insured for everything
except the biggest threat he's likely to face,
and you happily sell him that policy
knowing he lives in a flood risk area.
I'm the loss adjuster, I haven't sold Mr Jordan anything.
Does anyone ever think about punching your fucking lights out?
Some have tried... Yeah, cos I'm ruined, you see?
..I wouldn't advise it. 18 years wiped out!
Hey, you see this?
Something, Nothing, and Fuck-all!
For all the work I've put into this!
Come on, love, let's go in. Mol? You got a sec?
Er... We've, erm...
we've got you something for your Flood Relief Fund.
Might as well burn the bloody shop down!
See if I'm insured for that!
Yeah, so you know Kelly, of course.
Obviously, you get the money direct,
but, er, just for social media and all that sort of stuff,
we just wanna take a few shots of me handing it over, so, er... Oh.
There. Oh, wow. Oh, God.
Sorry, there's a difficult situation going on.
Jack, that's... very generous, Jack. Yeah, OK.
Very. Right, shall we do it, then?
Lovely.
Never a shy one, were you, Jack?
And again.
Always happy walking round a kitchen naked. Smile!
How's Sarah Mackie these days?
The Chair of, er... Planning Committee
will always be one of my favourite people, whoever they are.
And another one.
Lovely. Excuse me.
Where are you?
Hey, first on the scene WPC. Hi.
How you doing? Nice to see you. Wow.
You lot were crawling over this place. Yeah?
Yeah. Would you mind if I have a look around?
Course you can, yeah, sure. Yeah? Only too happy.
Where were you when the flood hit?
At home. I've given a statement.
I don't mind saying it again. Might remember stuff...
I... can't think of anything, though.
Well, before the flood, sort of 48 hours, maybe longer,
do you remember seeing anything suspicious
or even just someone you didn't know?
The only people coming in would be other security lads
or maybe Jack Radcliffe once in a while.
Jack Radcliffe? Why?
He owns this, he built it. I didn't know that.
No, I don't suppose he shouts it out, whole place is empty.
Eight units, and none of 'em's been used, ever.
I mean, they're all like this.
And this one.
Ta-da.
You should see this one.
Sorry, wrong one.
It worked last time.
I've lost the key.
Look, give me your number, and as soon as I find it, I'll ring.
Yeah, erm... Can I ask you about the cars that were caught
in the car park during the flood?
Yeah, sure.
Just cos from where I was, I remember there being four cars
beyond the lift... four in a row, second to last one was red...
the red saloon, like a Toyota or a Honda maybe?
Look, not to worry, I can have them check the CCTV. I'll have a word.
Yeah, you could do if there was any.
There's no CCTV?
Guess I'm cheaper.
Do you wanna show me where you mean? Might jog my memory.
Yeah, sure. Great, thanks.
Yeah, four cars. This one was red.
Well, I'm not saying no, but I can't say yes.
They were saying that the body had been dead for 48 hours or more.
Hm... Meaning someone wanted us to think that he drowned in here...
and who'd wanna do that?
A murderer would.
No, what I'm... I'm saying if I was good at yoga,
like, show-off good, why would I wear a scarf to do it in?
Like, why would I wear tights with nothing else on underneath?
Yeah, but you see, I didn't notice that.
Oh, you think it was just the blokes who clocked that?
I do, actually, yeah.
Mm. Er, what...
What would you think about us putting in for a transfer?
New baby... new beginnings.
Somewhere new, might be exciting.
Yeah. Well, what about Mum?
And here? And, well, everything?
OK. We have...
A yippee-dippy-doo... Surprise for you.
A treat... A pampering fest...
And an apology... From us...
- And Sophie. - Sorry.
Come on. Ah!
Thank you.
God, it's boiling in here.
A massage chair. And it's heaven.
It uses the latest technology to replicate a masseuse's grip.
And it wipes down, so you can, er, oil up to use it.
Well, do you like it or love it?
Where's my dad's old chair?
Oh, we put that in the garden. Yeah.
Ooh.
Hey! It's my house.
My house.
Jo Marshall? Tasha Eden.
You called me about my brother.
Erm... just...
Right, my dad's chair, back in from the garden,
and that thing, out.
And them, out.
I'm going to Mum's.
Come on.
Hey, what are you doing?
Move. No.
Come on. No.
Why are you doing this? I need to talk to you.
Let go! Get in the car.
Hey, I'm pregnant,
and I am a police officer.
So is my husband, which is why I need to get you away from here
because he can't know about any of this, all right?
No. Yes.
Yes, there's been a misunderstanding.
OK. OK.
Let's clear things up, then.
My brother's ashes.
He died May 5th, 2019,
or are you saying I have another brother I don't know about?
What are you saying? All right, listen. Let me explain.
We had a flood last week,
and the body of a man was found in a lift
in a flooded underground car park.
I was the first officer on the scene,
and he had no ID on him, OK?
He had... nothing.
No wallet, nothing, so...
we put his DNA into the police database...
and nothing came back,
and cos we're not allowed to feed it into commercial ancestry sites,
it's illegal, that's it.
It's a dead end, except...
there is one piece of information that makes me wanna do just that
because it turns out this man in the lift
had died two days before the flood,
which means that somebody put him in there
wanting us to think that he drowned when, actually, he'd been murdered.
And my head's going, "There's a killer out there."
And if I can just find out who this man is,
that might lead me to the killer, so...
Look, without telling anyone,
I put his DNA into Gene Tracker, and here we are.
Right.
Look at this.
This is an E-FIT of the man that we found in the lift.
Whoa, where are you going? To the police.
If you tell the police I used your brother's DNA, that's it.
That's the end of my career. What do I care about that?
I was just trying to help.
Where is the police station? I...
I'll ask someone else. All right. All right, I'll take you.
Tasha.
Tasha, why don't you come with me to my mum's,
and you can see an early case file I downloaded, OK?
I got it last week. Why don't you just come and have a look?
You're just trying to save your own skin.
Hey, could I see someone, please, about that man there?
Yeah, sure. Take a seat, please.
Squeeze the sides in.
They are squeezed in. Squeeze harder.
Oh, Keith, turn it off. Thank you, sweetheart.
Kelly, would you please fuck off?
Yeah, how 'bout you try saying that to your wife and not me, yeah?
I mean, how ungrateful can she be?
We give her a gift... Keith, just leave it alone.
I'll do it. Oh, yeah, have a go at Keith now.
Let's just ignore how Jo treats us, and you, how she treats you. OK.
OK... OK.
No!
Hello...? Hello?
You took the baby. You saved the baby.
Oh, my God.
You were so brave. What, just me?
What happened to you after?
All I know is I just came to on the riverbank past Saltbridge,
it's like six, seven miles away.
But the last thing I remember, the only thing I remember, is you.
You didn't come forward.
No. Why not?
Well, come forward for what? A load of fuss?
I'm Jo, by the way, Jo Marshall.
Lee.
Hello, Lee. Hiya.
And I hear what you're saying, I do hear what you're saying,
but the mother of the baby... how about meeting her?
She's been so worried about you,
and she wouldn't tell anyone, guaranteed.
But what about you? Who you gonna tell?
See, you're police, right?
Not for much longer, I expect.
That's cos you're pregnant. Yeah.
Yeah, maybe they'll put it down to that.
How long to go? I'm seven months.
Right, so you're almost due, yeah? Mm.
And just walking into floodwaters, yeah? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, I'll come.
You want to speak to someone about this E-FIT poster?
Yes. He looks like my brother, Daniel Eden.
I'm Natasha Eden.
Ah, right, and you're French. No, British, like Daniel.
But this passport was issued in France.
Yeah, I moved there when I was three, my father remarried.
I've lived in France ever since.
You want my whole life story? No.
So why don't we just test me, yeah? Take my DNA.
You have a poster up there saying "Who is this man?"
And I'm telling you, he could be my brother.
'Ey, tu marches a cote de tes pompes,
t'es mon meilleur putain de con.
I learnt that on a French trip in 1978,
and, erm, I've no idea what it means, er, so apologies...
..if it's rude, erm...
Let's tone it down while I put out a call for someone who can help you.
Yeah?
Jo! Hi, sorry. It's you, isn't it?
You did this. It's just arrived, look.
She loves it.
Thank you so much. Amy...
erm, this is Lee, the man who saved your baby.
Not drowned after all, safe and sound.
And he doesn't want a fuss, I just thought...
Aw, thank you. Thank you.
What do I call you?
Mademoiselle? You can't even say it.
Let's just prove that's not my brother.
Why do you think it might be?
This was taken seven years ago.
Me and my brother, Daniel.
But also know, two years later,
Daniel dies in a motorbike accident.
So you see my problem?
When did you arrive in the UK?
This time last night. Where from?
Gallargues-le-Montueux, France. And why did you come?
How did you know to come? Who told you about this?
What are you doing in Waterside?
How did you get the idea that that man here was your brother?
I'll be thanking you forever.
Oh, don't do that, just... just be happy...
..and then we'll all be happy, yeah?
Look, I have to go, but it was so nice to meet you...
and you.
I'll see you later. Bye-bye.
'Jo?' Yep.
'I've been trying get hold of you.'
The Allens' grandson is gonna be at the house tomorrow at 10:30.
'Could you be there to answer any questions?'
Yeah, sure. 'I'll tell Deepa too.'
'Ey, I'm at your dad's allotment.
Why? Well, our foster boy's decided he wants to grow carrots,
and your mum said "please", so dig, dig, dig.
I'll see you tomorrow, yeah? Yeah. Bye.
That's good.
Why? Where've you gotta be that's so important?
When you don't call, I worry. Just call.
I've got DCI Roy off sick and a clown in charge.
What's your excuse? Where were you?
We have blisters!
Well, it's a good job it's time to stop, then, yeah?
No, I don't wanna go. All right.
No. No, no, home time. N-n-no, home time!
Way past home time. Come on. Come on.
You coming too, or have you got someone else lined up?
Come on, let's clear up,
and let's get pizza or takeaway, yeah?
Hi, me again.
I got your mother's address from the local council website.
I didn't tell the police about you...
or what you did with the DNA.
I didn't mention you.
Maybe I still will.
Jo... Ah.
You asked me not to...
..and they didn't let me do what I want and need to do.
Which is what?
Identify the body.
See with my own eyes if it is or isn't Daniel.
See him, so I know.
But, no, they want the DNA test first.
Yeah, I mean, of course they do, because...
imagine if you weren't his sister
and you were just making all this up.
But I'm not.
Yes, but they still have to follow the procedure.
Yeah, OK.
OK, but you said you had a case file you'd show me,
and if that file has photos of the body...
Ah, no. Those are crime-scene photos.
I can't show you them.
If you believe he is my brother, and you do, why not?
They'll take me to the morgue when they get the sibling match.
They'll show him to me then.
So you have to wait until then. No. No!
I need to know now
because if it is him... if it is Daniel...
..then why's he done this to me?
Why did he let me think he was dead all these years?
I only want to know if it is or isn't Daniel.
Because... Cos... I...
..I thought he loved me.
He did. He did love me!
Come on. It's all right. Come on.
OK.
Mum, no.
Tasha, I'm so sorry...
..but this does mean that your brother faked his death
five years ago.
I mean, do you have any idea why he might do that?
Or perhaps why someone would've wanted to kill him now?
Oh, my God. Pat's coming. Like, now. He's here.
Oh, OK, let's get her upstairs. No, coming to stay.
Pat's her husband. I can go to my hotel.
I'm at the Waterside Valley. OK.
This way. This way. Can we meet in the morning?
Yes. Yes, I can be with you at, like, 11.
Quickly, quickly.
No, no. No, this way. Straight ahead.
On his way in.
So, I got eight signatures this morning...
let me finish, hang on, and two this afternoon,
so that's me done.
I'm ready to be elected.
Sorry. Hello, how are you?
Now that I'm here, much better, and I come bearing gifts.
Ooh. Oh, nice.
Oh. Ooh, yeah. You can stay.
Oh, yes.
Your dad's chair is back where it was.
Oh, great.
Hey. How you doing?
Good, you? Not bad.
Er, that's Finn, the grandson of the couple who died.
Let's go.
Finn?
Hi, I'm Jo Marshall, this is Deepa Das.
We were together when we found your grandparents.
So sorry. Really.
Thanks, yeah.
I used to come here all the time, like, every school holiday.
It's just awful. Yeah.
So, I saw your grandad the night before.
The floodgates were holding, so they decided to stay.
Then when we came back the next morning,
I could hear something.
And when we went inside, the air was thick,
and there was a generator switched on.
To pump out water,
the downstairs was flooding up from the cellar.
And your grandparents were on the landing.
Like they were on their way out.
Can we go in? We can't, no.
Technically, it's still a crime scene.
It is a crime.
They didn't need to die.
This is what happens when folk are left to make decisions
that they're not qualified to make...
..and those who should take responsibility, they don't...
and they never will.
Cos our government and the Environment Agency
have zero obligation to provide flood defences in this country...
like, zero.
You can look it up.
Is that news to you? Cos... Cos it was news to me.
I mean it'd be news to everyone, wouldn't it?
No, they don't have to do a thing.
And then you... And look what happens.
Sorry... Don't get me going.
No, I... Do you remember my mum, Molly Marshall?
Yeah, she did the summer camps.
Right, I'm just thinking you two should get together.
She's a flood warden. She's into all that.
You should talk to her about this.
I was thinking, "She's not coming."
I was thinking, "What if she's not there?"
OK...
I've been trawling through sites
looking for any sign of Daniel, and came up with these.
But they all stop five years ago, nothing after that.
OK, that means he must've had another ID, or got a new one.
And became who?
Hold on.
Deepa, hi. Er, are you back at the station?
Hi. Yeah, everything OK? Yeah, it's fine.
Listen, can you email me the latest response list
to the Lift Man E-FIT?
Full murder team, no exceptions, in the briefing room now!
Do you know what? I shouldn't have asked you. Forget I said it.
No, it's fine. I can do it right away.
Deepa, it's fine, you don't have to. I...
OK, here. Here.
Er, let's see if there's a location
where people seem to recognise him from.
Erm, when you came over as a kid,
what sort of places did you hang out?
None of these places.
We were mainly down and around the docks.
That's him. That's him, that's Daniel there.
Who? Where? Alex Welland? For sure.
A hundred percent, that's him. How do you know?
Nanta, this business.
That's what Daniel called me cos that's how I first said my name,
Nanta, and so it stuck.
He always called me it.
He called me Nanta, I called him Danta... hm, there.
OK. Erm, what's the address?
It's down by the docks. Come on.
You two know the dock area.
Check out the E-FIT sightings we've had at West Port,
Canning, and Nanta.
Go, I wanna ID this man.
Get that address, and send it over...
Sergeant? Yes, sir.
Jo Marshall, where is she?
I want her. I need her. Get her.
Quick as you can.
Mm-hm.
Daniel's always lived out here near the docks.
He followed my father into working at the container port.
I lived here too, apparently, except I don't remember it.
I was only three when my mother died
and my father came back to France.
Did Daniel come with you? No.
He's 13 years older than me. His life was here.
But twice a year, he came over...
and was such a great big brother.
He was a wild boy,
always full of ideas and schemes.
Very funny. Very mischievous.
I adored him...
..and him me.
That's what doesn't make sense because he loved me, he did,
so why would he let me believe he was dead?
Cos that's what he did for five years.
Why do you think he would do something like that?
That one there.
Look.
Here to see someone at Nanta. Can I have a name?
Tasha Eden.
Is that E-D-E-N? Mm-hm.
There you go. There's your man from Nanta.
Lee?
Lee! It's me. It's Tasha.
