Dad?
- Dad? - What?
You...
- You all right? - Course I am.
- Why wouldn't I be? - I've been trying to ring you all night.
I never hear the phone.
That's because you've got it switched off at the wall.
Must've been done by accident.
Could be these... new pills.
Look, I need you to answer when I call, Dad,
cos if you don't...
Well, I start to worry...
- What pills? - Doctor gave them to me.
Well, what kind of pills?
Dad?
Banks?
Boss, you're needed.
We've got a body up on the moor. Looks like a stabbing."
- How's your dad? - I keep going round there.
Trying to keep an eye on him, but he won't let me.
Well, maybe he's just proud.
Too old to be proud.
Well, if you're that worried about him,
maybe you can get him to move in with you?
Any news on you and David setting up home together?
Actually, he's withdrawn his offer.
You're kidding! Why?
It seems he wants something a bit more permanent.
He's asked me to marry him.
I haven't said yes.
I've told him I need a few days to think about it.
- OK. - I thought you should know.
- Absolutely. - Boss?
Body's over here. When you're ready.
He's been here a few hours.
Looks like a stab wound to the chest, which could have hit his heart,
but we should wait for Pathology to confirm that.
- Do we have a name for him? - Josh Tate.
20 years old, lives in a flatshare in the city centre.
- Student? - Second year of uni.
There's something on his hand.
Yeah, looks like a nightclub stamp.
We're gonna check it out.
Question is, was he killed here and rolled over,
- or are we looking for another murder site? - Probably the latter,
given that he's lost so much blood from the stab wound.
We've had the dogs out. No blood,
but they did track a scent back to the layby.
Probably where they parked up. Are we looking at tyre prints?
- Yeah. - Come in, Ken.
Got an address for the parents. Sarah and Matthew Tate.
Cottage a couple of miles outside of Harrogate.
Well, we'll divide into two teams.
One over to the parents' house.
We'll need them to ID the body.
Get Family Liaison to meet us there.
And the second one to look at the flatshare.
- Ken and I can do that. - No.
Helen, I want you with me at the parents' house.
Ken, go with Annie.
Matthew Tate?
DCI Alan Banks. This is DI Helen Morton, Eastvale Police.
Is your wife here, Mr. Tate?
Sarah?
- It's the police, love. - What do you want?
Maybe we should speak inside, Mrs. Tate.
I don't want you in my home.
I think we should let him in, Sarah.
When did you last see Josh?
It was a few weeks ago. He...
He came home for the weekend. It was Sarah's birthday.
And you haven't had any contact since then?
- A few texts, maybe. - But nothing more?
You know what they're like at that age.
- Don't touch that! - Sorry.
Sarah, for God's sake.
Do you know any of Josh's friends from university?
He didn't really talk about them.
If you like, Mr. and Mrs. Tate,
we can arrange for one of our officers to come and stay with you.
We don't want police here.
We will need one of you to help to identify the body.
I'll do it.
No. We can both go, love.
I'd rather do it alone.
Flat's owned by a Spencer Foster.
He's a student, too.
What sort of student owns a flat?
A gift from his parents for starting uni.
All I got was a toastie-maker.
Someone got lucky.
Hi. We're looking for Spencer Foster.
Spence?
Can we come in? I'm DS Cabbot.
Yeah. I mean, I saw him yesterday morning.
He was heading out as I was getting up.
Did he say where he was going?
Probably off to the lab.
- The lab? - Josh was doing Biochemistry.
One of his tutors had given him a job.
He was super-smart.
- And you are? - Melanie Thomas.
Spencer's girlfriend.
- How well did you know Josh? - Only through Spence.
I... come round a lot, so...
I guess he was a mate.
Is there anyone who Josh didn't get along with?
Anyone he argued with?
He really didn't inspire that kind of passion in people.
He was quiet.
Half the time, you'd forget he was there.
What about other friends? Girlfriends?
Er... Josh didn't really bother much with girls, did he?
He wasn't gay or anything, just didn't seem that interested in them.
- And where were you last night? - Why are you asking that?
It's a routine question.
Well, we were here. All night.
Takes you back, doesn't it?
What, you went to university?
Funny! No, really, you are.
Fancy a cider and black later?
Josh was an exceptional student.
He was smart, focused, conscientious.
Was he working here yesterday?
Sort of. He was only here an hour or so.
He had to leave around 11.
- Did he say why he had to leave? - No.
What sort of things did Josh do for you?
He helped out in the lab, mostly.
Setting up experiments. Servicing the equipment.
Sorting out my IT. Some inventory.
You must have got to know him.
Well, not really.
He was only here for a few hours each week,
and he kept himself to himself. Not much of a talker.
Did he mention any problems he was having?
- Anything troubling him? - I was his tutor.
The only thing we ever talked about was chemistry.
I had a look at her file.
She's got a file?
Political activist in the early '90s.
She had a habit of getting herself arrested at protest marches.
Well, that would explain the hostility.
Any progress with you and Michael?
Yeah. I think we're gonna work it out.
That's good news.
So, do we have a timeline?
Early pathology puts the time of death
between midnight and 2:00am.
We need to account for Josh Tate's whereabouts
from the moment he woke up yesterday until 2:00 this morning.
His flatmate says he left for work to the university lab around 10:00ªm.
The tutor says he left the lab an hour later.
Annie, any thoughts on the flatmate?
Bit cocky, but he liked Josh.
Him and his girlfriend spent the night in.
Helen, where are we with Josh's phone?
Can't find it, but we're getting his call records sent through.
- What about his email account? - Tech boys are going through it now.
Tariq, have we traced this stamp yet?
Yeah. It's used by a place called Exotica in the city centre.
That's a lap dancing club.
What's he doing at a lapdancing club?
Who knows?
He's a student. That place isn't cheap.
20 quid cover charge.
That's what I hear, anyway.
You ever thought about trying lapdancing?
I did a bit of burlesque, once.
Have you seen him here before?
Yeah, I know him. He's in here a lot.
- How often? - Three times a week.
Sits in that corner over there, drinking water.
Was he here last night?
Yeah, but only for a while.
- Did you speak to him? - Not that I remember.
Did he speak to any of the girls?
He's only ever here for Melanie.
Melanie.
When I met you this morning, Melanie,
why didn't you mention that Josh came here to see you?
I don't know.
This isn't the sort of job you wanna tell people about.
But Spencer knows that you work here?
He knows it's only temporary.
I'm going to university next year.
And does your boyfriend know that Josh was here three times a week?
Did Josh have a thing for you, Melanie?
I guess so, yeah.
- Was Spencer aware of this? - No.
How did you feel about Josh?
I told him the truth. I love Spencer.
If you were at the flat with Spencer last night,
why was Josh here?
I don't know.
I told him I'd swapped shifts. Maybe he just forgot.
That black saloon. Did you see it?
What about it?
I think it followed us here.
Really?
Majority of his injuries occurred post-mortem.
No doubt due to the impact of the fall at the ravine.
Cause of death,
penetrating wound to the chest that pierced his heart.
What about the weapon?
Narrow, square blade. Not sharp.
- Screwdriver? - Possibly.
We found gravel particles in his hair.
From the ravine?
No. It's limestone and it's been bleached.
- A man-made process. - I'll check it out.
So, toxicology.
Alcohol in his system, but no drugs.
And there were traces of chemicals on his hair and skin.
He was a Biochemistry student.
I don't think these are the kind of chemicals he'd have found on his course.
This was piperonyl methyl ketone.
What does that mean?
PMK. It's used to synthesise Ecstasy.
Given the amount we found on him,
I'd say that's exactly what he was doing.
So much for our shy, unassuming student.
In addition to visiting lapdancing clubs,
it seems that Josh might have been making Ecstasy.
It's always the quiet ones.
Making Ecstasy's not usually a solo job.
Tends to be small groups. He must have had help.
Go back to his tutor,
see if Josh and friends had been using the labs.
See if any equipment and chemicals had gone missing.
What have they said about the bank account?
He had Â£2,000 in his current account on the day he died.
That's a lot for a student, but not what you'd call excessive.
Yeah, but three weeks ago, he spent six grand on a second-hand Land Rover.
His dad.
Josh offered to buy it for me.
He knew the old one was finished.
You told me your brother gave you the money to buy it.
It didn't strike you as odd that Josh could afford to pay for it?
He said he had a job at university.
Part time, a few hours a week, but not enough to cover 6,000 quid.
6,000?!
Josh...wanted to help.
Where did he get the money?
- From another source. - What other source?
We think he was manufacturing drugs. Mostly likely Ecstasy pills.
- Didn't take you very long, did it? - How'd you mean?
You can't find who killed my son.
So you start finding ways to taint him.
- Nobody's tainting Josh. - I've seen it before.
You make it look like Josh had it coming,
and that way, nobody cares that my son died.
I care, Mrs. Tate.
And you? You're pathetic.
What kind of man lets his son buy him a car?
Ecstasy?
Are you sure about this?
Would Josh have had the knowledge
to process something as complex as that?
Well, it's not on the curriculum,
but yes, Josh could've worked it out.
Was he close to any other students on his course?
Why do you ask that?
Josh may have needed help if he was making Ecstasy.
He was usually alone.
Could he have used your lab?
No. I always monitored his lab time.
Plus, I don't imagine it's the sort of process you could easily hide.
- What about chemicals, equipment? - What about them?
- Could he have sourced them here? - I keep a very strict inventory.
But you said Josh did the inventory.
Dr. Calcutt, Josh had a lot of money in his bank account.
- He didn't need a job. - I don't understand what you mean.
Maybe the only reason he took the job
was to get access to your chemicals store.
Josh was a friend, and he would never have abused my trust.
So?
Which part of that last speech stood out for you, Sarge?
"Josh was a friend." Let's get Forensics down here.
I want a team to go over Calcutt's lab.
- Helen. - Michael, what are you doing here?
- You're not answering my calls. - Well, things have got a bit hectic.
We need to talk.
Yeah. OK.
Better come in.
You haven't appointed a solicitor.
- Well, it's early days. - No, it's not early days.
You've been stalling for weeks now.
Maybe I haven't had as much time
to get used to it as you have.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ambushed you with the papers.
No, you really shouldn't have.
Nevertheless, we do need to start the process
and try and get on with our lives.
It's unsettling the boys.
Well, moving house'll really unsettle them. That's not gonna help, is it?
Helen... The boys want to stay at home.
I spoke to my solicitor.
She thinks I should go for custody.
It makes sense,
since you've moved out and I'm the primary carer.
But I'm their mother.
Which is why you need to think about what's best for them.
What's best for them is that they stay with me.
I'm sorry.
I wish it wasn't happening to us, but it is.
And we can't ignore it.
Please, get yourself a solicitor.
No, I don't understand. I'm their mum.
Surely, the judge will agree that I should have joint custody.
But I only moved out because he asked me to.
Because that's what he wanted.
If I'd known he was planning this, I'd have stayed where I was.
Sorry, I-I'm gonna have to call you back.
That's not for me, mate.
That's cos it's for me.
Thank you.
You know, you were a lot better at this undercover lark
back on the Crime Squad.
- It's good to see you, Helen. - What are you doing here?
I'm working an investigation.
So why are you following me?
Whatever it is you're working on, it might cross over with my case.
- Cross over how? - I can't tell you that.
Come on, Martin. You're not MI5.
How can I make sure we don't tread on each others' toes
if you won't tell me what you're doing?
You're outside Exotica, so whatever it is you're working on
must be linked to there. So who is it?
What, the owner?
Is it Liam Fallon?
You're looking at him?
I can't tell you that.
What's the score with the hotel?
How do you mean?
You not with Michael any more?
I've gotta get going.
See you around.
His name's Martin Hexton, the undercover officer we used
back when I was in the Crime Squad.
Since then, he's been with the Met's SCD-11 unit.
- So, what's he doing in Yorkshire? - He's not saying, but I think...
I think...
.. he's investigating Liam Fallon.
Melanie's boss?
He definitely seems to be interested in him.
Before buying the lapdancing club,
Fallon served a year for posession of cocaine.
At the time of his arrest,
he had links to a number of big London drug gangs.
So if Hexton is looking into him, it could be that he's active again.
So you think Fallon was working with Josh?
He had experience, connections.
He knew Josh from going to the club.
Which could explain why Josh was at the club
when Melanie wasn't there.
If Hexton was investigating Fallon,
then why was Fallon not flagged?
I don't know. I called Hexton's unit, left a message.
Still waiting on someone to get back to me.
We should talk to Melanie. If there's something going on
between Josh and Fallon, she might have seen something at the club.
She's due to come in to make a statement, isn't she?
Postponed. Ill, apparently.
She's staying at her boyfriend's parents'.
Well, then maybe I'll make a house call.
Where are you going? I can do this on my own.
- You might need backup. - To interview a lapdancer?
I've met her. You haven't.
She'll respond better to a familiar face.
Then I'll take Helen.
You're not taking bloody Helen.
Excuse me, sir.
- I'm DCI Banks. - DS Cabbot.
We're looking for Melanie Thomas.
Gerald Foster. I'm Spencer's dad.
Melanie and Spence are through here.
Police need to talk to you.
- How are you feeling, Melanie? - She's very poorly.
This is Elaine, my wife. DCI Banks, DS Cabbot.
- Mrs. Foster. - Hello.
Look, I don't really think Melanie's up for talking.
- She should be in her bed. - No, it's OK.
- I'm fine. - Really?
We need to speak to Melanie alone.
We'll give you some privacy.
Thank you.
Was Josh involved in drugs?
No.
I mean, he never said anything.
Did he ever talk to you about Liam Fallon?
What do you mean?
Did you ever see him talking to Fallon at the club?
Sometimes, I suppose.
- Do you know what they were talking about? - I dunno.
Melanie, did you ever see anything
like pills or money exchange between them?
No.
But Josh did meet Fallon in his office sometimes.
Did Josh say what those meetings were about?
No.
OK. The gravel they found in Josh's hair,
generic building product.
Sold in most DIY shops up and down the country.
- So not much help, then? - Not much, no.
What about Calcutt's lab?
Forensics found plenty of chemicals,
but none used in processing Ecstasy.
I've been going through Josh Tate's bank records.
Found a debit card payment the day he died.
- What was the payment for? - It was for Â£6.40,
made to the campus cafe at 1:35.
- OK, go and check it out. - I'll go.
DI Morton?
Yeah, this is DCI Denmoor, SCD-11.
- Got a message saying to ring you. - Yes.
I was calling about a UCO who's working
a case here in Eastvale.
We don't have anyone from Undercover up there.
What about a DS Martin Hexton?
Helen! You wanna sit in on this?
No, there's something I need to check on.
The place is mobbed with students every day.
Every face is just a blur.
Just take a look at the photo.
- This guy was in at 1:35. - Yeah, middle of the lunch rush.
12 hours later, he was dead.
Yeah. Hold on, I remember this lad.
He was in here with some other guy.
- Can you describe him? - Didn't look like a student.
Just like your average, middle-aged white guy.
Don't know what was going on.
Some sort of argument.
Anyway, this lad stormed out and the older bloke went after him.
Did you see where they went?
Now what?
Do you fancy a rocky road?
- How well did you know Josh Tate? - I didn't.
He was just some kid who spent too much time mooning over Melanie.
Ever have any discussions with him?
What would I discuss with him?
How about manufacturing Ecstasy?
And why would that interest me?
Come on, Liam. You've got history.
OK, I admit it.
I have had some trouble with drugs, a few years back.
But look at me now, eh? I'm a changed man.
I'm a model citizen now.
You run a lapdancing club.
That's right, and I'm always on the lookout for new dancers.
You spoke to Josh in your office.
- Did I? - Several times, so we heard.
I don't remember him being in there.
See, I'm quite picky with who I let in.
My office is like my sanctuary.
A place where I can think -
Josh last visited Exotica two nights ago.
- That's right. - What happened?
He wanted to know where Melanie was.
I said she wasn't working, so he left.
- What time? - About 9:00, 9:30.
And what did you do after that?
I ran my very profitable business.
I was in the club till about four.
The girls will back me up on that.
- He's lying through his teeth. - We just need to prove it.
Boss. Josh Tate met with an older male
at the campus cafe on the day he died.
Any chance it was Fallon?
This bloke was white.
Anyway, he followed Josh out the cafe,
so we pulled all the CCTV from within a half-mile radius of it.
- So we're off to watch some telly. - Enjoy.
Older man, meeting in a cafe.
Could be part of Josh's operation.
If Fallon was dealing Josh's Ecstasy,
then Josh dying's a big problem.
- What's Fallon gonna do now? - Find a new source.
Contact whoever Josh worked with.
So we put him under surveillance.
There's not time to organise a team.
But there's no reason why we can't do it.
I'll sort it.
Apparently, you're no longer police.
Managed to find me, then?
What's going on, Martin?
Even booked our old room.
It's not our old room, it's your room.
Fancy a drink?
I'm on duty.
Fancy watching me drink, then?
What are you doing here, Martin?
I've got good memories of this room.
I told you. I'm working a case.
Really? Well, according to your boss,
you were retired on medical grounds about three months ago.
- Not a problem. - It's not a problem?
Are you kidding?
This is our murder victim.
And this is our main suspect.
What do you mean, it's not a problem? What is going on?
You failed your psych evaluation, didn't you?
Because there was no evaluation.
And I haven't been retired, all right?
I was seconded to Bradford.
I'm working with DCI Rachel Prentice.
- But Prentice is Anti-Corruption. - That's why I can't talk about it.
OK...
So you're investigating police officers, fine.
But how does that connect to Fallon?
I... can't tell you anything.
Martin...
Is it one of our team?
Look, this... this burnt-out cop story,
- it's a cover. - What do you mean?
Nobody from my old unit even knows I'm working here.
OK.
I think maybe I will have that drink.
This is my life now.
Turn up places, do my job.
Can't tell a soul about it.
'Least this time, I get to see you.
I'd forgotten how much you meant to me.
Our time together.
It was a mistake.
Well, not to me, it wasn't.
Well, you weren't married, were you? I was.
You still married?
Michael wants a divorce.
It's my fault.
I spend so much time at work and -
You're still doing that? Blaming yourself?
Just like us.
You took all the guilt.
It was always your fault.
So, what are you gonna do?
Fight for my marriage.
Why?
Sorry, I can't. I...
Everything all right?
Yeah. I'm just telling David I'm gonna be late.
It means he's got to pick up Isla... again.
He'll have to get used to that,
now he wants to make it permanent.
You must've seen this coming, Alan.
You can be angry, fine. Disappointed, all right.
But you can't be surprised.
Look, David's asked me to marry him.
He wants us to be a family. Right now, I need to think about Isla,
so don't make this any harder than it is.
How am I making it harder?
By being your usual passive-aggressive self.
If you've got something to say... just say it.
Fallon's on the move.
What's he doing?
Hang on.
That's Calcutt. Josh's tutor.
- What we gonna do now? - We stick with Fallon.
- What about Calcutt? - We can deal with her later.
Annie!
We don't have the authority.
Shit.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Why are you breaking into my garage?
Why were you meeting Liam Fallon?
Josh was supplying Fallon with drugs.
Were you helping... Dr. Calcutt?
Now, you listen to me.
You can't just break in to peoples' property.
I know it's against the law.
Do you hear me?
I want you to leave me and my mother alone.
Now, go!
I will. Just wanna find out what this is.
***
Dad?
Dad...
What are you doing here?
I had three missed calls from you.
Right. Of course. Sunday.
I'm going on a day trip to Bridlington
and I wondered if you wanted to come.
Your mother always liked Braid and I just thought, well...
might be... a bit of fun.
But... that was it? That's why you called?
Yes, why? There a problem?
Is this how it's gonna be, then?
- How what's gonna be? - This! Us.
Me having to run round every day just to make sure you're all right.
I don't need looking after.
I've just seen the next ten years mapped out for me.
Work and you.
I think you'd better leave.
Sorry.
Dad, I didn't mean any -
- I'm nobody's burden. - No.
- Do... do you understand that? - Yes.
Sorry.
- Close the door. - Yes.
Banks, sir.
- Did you find any equipment? - Not exactly.
Calcutt had had a clear-out, no doubt in the last few days.
But the good news is, forensics say there's enough material in there
to confirm that it was being used to make the drugs.
Calcutt's mum.
She's got dementia. I had to call Social Services.
- There's no other family? - Her daughter's all she's got.
I really need to speak to Mum.
Your mum's being taken care of.
She's not good around strangers.
Beverley, you can talk to your mum
after you've spoken with us, OK?
Isosafrole, MDMA. Can you explain
why these chemicals were in your garage?
I don't know anything about that.
Beverley...
we know that Josh was involved in making Ecstasy.
Which may well be the reason he was killed.
You need to tell us the truth.
- I needed the money. - What for?
Mum needs constant care.
I couldn't be there for her and be at work.
The only solution was a nurse, and they cost.
The man you were meeting at the car park, Liam Fallon.
Was he buying the pills?
It was only supposed to be a one-off.
We made the first batch in the lab at work,
and I made sure they were safe.
And then Josh sold them on to Fallon.
But it wasn't just the one-off?
Fallon wanted more.
He threatened to turn us in if we said no.
We couldn't use work any more,
so we set up in my garage and worked from there.
Where's the equipment now?
Josh told me to dismantle it.
He said he was going to tell Fallon it was over.
When was he telling Fallon?
The day he died.
Did Fallon kill Josh?
Well, what do you think?
The man's a gangster, isn't he?
Just business for him.
I told him today. I told him, "I know what you did."
And he just laughed.
- What do you want to do? - Let's bring Fallon in again.
Boss? I need to talk to you.
It'll have to wait.
Go, go.
Police!
Boss!
Christ. Is he all right?
- He's breathing. - Annie, get him an ambulance.
DS Cabbot. Ambulance required.
Serious head injuries. Victim is Liam Fallon.
There's something you need to know.
Boss! We think we might have him.
Josh's mystery man.
We went through all the CCTV. We picked up Josh
on a traffic camera a half mile away from the cafe.
- This guy was following him. - Any idea who it is?
- That's Martin Hexton. - What?
Good work.
Helen? A word.
I'm... I can explain.
All right. Thanks, Rachel. Bye.
What did she say?
Well, Bradford have never heard of Hexton.
What? But he told me he'd been working with them!
What else has he been telling you?
Nothing. DCI Denmoor told me that he'd been medically retired,
and Hexton said that that was just his cover story.
It sounds like the only person getting a cover story was you!
If he's retired, why's he following Fallon?
- Don't know. - Is he responsible for this?
- Look, I don't know. - Why is he arguing
with our victim on the day he died?
- I don't know! - Well, what do you know, DI Morton?
I know where he is.
Reckon she's getting a bollocking?
Definitely. Boss had his face on.
- What face? - The one that he does when's angry.
You know, when it all goes still and all you can see is his eyes.
- I know that face. - Let's move.
Tariq, you're with me.
He's cleared out.
He was here. He was here a couple of hours ago.
What? I-I told you I talked to him.
So, what do we do now?
- I want you to go home. - What? Why?
I won't allow you to compromise this case further.
Compromise it? How?
You're involved with Hexton, he's now a suspect -
No, I am not. I am not involved with Hexton.
Please, Helen.
It was a drink. It was just...
It was just a drink!
Christ.
It's too cold to be out there.
- You Banks? - DCI Denmoor?
Hexton infiltrated drug gangs.
Either he teamed up with one of 'em
or decided to go out on his own.
Either way, it was my fault.
You can't blame yourself if one of your officers chooses to go rogue.
Copies of Hexton's recent targets
and the case papers from his trial.
Thought they might be useful to you.
Look, corruption's one thing
but do you think Hexton would go as far as murder?
The thing about undercover is,
you get used to crossing the line.
Hexton's been doing it so long
he doesn't even know where the line is.
Martin Hexton's case files.
I want you to go through them inch by inch.
- What are we looking for? - I don't know but there's a good chance
that Hexton's working for a drug gang he was investigating.
Given that we know that Josh Tate was selling his Ecstasy tablets
to Liam Fallon and that Hexton was watching the pair of them
- there could be a connection. - You think it's sort of turf war?
I don't think anything at the moment.
Go through the file, see if you can find a concrete link
between Hexton, Fallon and Josh Tate.
What's the verdict on Fallon?
Hospital said he's stable, through the worst of it.
Good, let's go and talk to him.
Tariq, where are we with locating Hexton?
Service provider's put a trace on his mobile.
- And the car? - Circulated the index to all units.
Why aren't we asking Helen?
If she knew Hexton from before
then she might have an idea where he is.
DI Morton's taking some time off.
- I'm sitting in the front! - No, I am!
So come on, Helen Morton doesn't take time off.
- What's going on? - It's personal.
You're enjoying this too much.
Actually I'm just relieved it's not me in the doghouse for once.
There's still time.
Speaking of time, when are you planning on giving David your answer?
- When I've made my mind up. - Still got some doubts, then?
Well, I wouldn't be human if I didn't.
Unbelievable.
Someone assaults me in my own home
yet I'm the one that's being questioned.
You are under caution, remember?
Beverly Calcutt's confessed.
She said that you were buying the pills
that her and Josh are making in the garage.
You WILL be arrested the moment the doctor gives us the all clear.
So who attacked you last night?
Was it him?
I don't know. I didn't see the guy.
What do you mean, you didn't see the guy?
I swear.
I came home and I saw that someone had moved by stuff.
I heard a noise behind me and then, bang.
Next thing you know I'm waking up in an ambulance.
It wasn't a burglary, Liam!
This man was a professional, he didn't even leave a print.
You were attacked because of your drug operation with Josh Tate.
Look,
I don't know what you think we were into, OK?
But all we did was pass the stuff on.
Yeah, we made a bit of money
but we didn't tread on anybody's toes.
So, do you think Fallon is telling the truth?
I think he's got good reason to lie.
But if it really wasn't Hexton
how does Hexton fit into this?
- Hey, is everything all right? - Everything's great.
She said, "Daddy".
You're a clever girl.
Well, sounded more like a "do do"
but we both knew what you meant, didn't we?
- Alan. - Hey, David.
Hey.
I'll see you upstairs.
So you came all the way here to tell me she said, "Daddy."
Well, we were on our way to swimming but yeah,
essentially that's why I'm here.
- It's a big day for me. - I know. Did you say anything else?
No pressure but she did ask about
her bridesmaids dress earlier.
Her speech really is coming on.
She's very advanced.
Sorry, I've really got to be somewhere.
I love you. See you later.
Come on.
- All right? - Thanks for coming.
Sorry about all the cloak and dagger.
It's all right. It appeals to my inner spy.
- So what's he saying? - The boss?
Not much.
He's not happy.
Just tell me what's going on with you and Hexton.
Nothing.
At least not any more.
Do you know where he is?
No, I thought you would by now.
No, it seem he's involved with various drug gangs.
I doubt he'd go that far.
We're looking to Hexton's old case files.
Hopefully we'll find a connection between him and Josh Tate.
Sorry, Annie.
Sorry, there's... I need to go. There's something I need to check on.
OK.
Hexton.
Clocked at a 24 hour garage two miles north of the centre.
- Show me. - He was there at 11:46 last night.
According to the till receipt he bought petrol, water, crisps,
chocolate and two travel blankets.
He's settling down for the night.
He wouldn't check into a hotel, he's not that stupid.
He slept in the car.
Right, get some units out there.
Check everything within a mile radius of that garage.
Service provided just called.
Hexton turned his phone on an hour ago.
- You got an exact location? - Beech Avenue in Alwoodley.
That's where the Fosters live. Come on.
What's Hexton want with them?
Mrs. Tate?
I have some questions I need to ask you.
- Is that you in the picture? - Where did you find that?
That was taken in 1993, wasn't it?
When you were a member of a group called Radical Action.
It was a long time ago.
And this man standing here beside you...
Do you remember him?
He was in the group for almost 18 months.
He gave his name as Martin Wells
but in fact he was an undercover officer.
He testified against the group
and four of your friends were jailed, weren't they?
That man betrayed me.
18 months is a long time and it's not unheard of
for an undercover officer to form relationships in these situations.
But Mrs. Tate,
I have to ask the question...
He's Josh's biological father.
It's no point in keeping it secret any more.
Why didn't you tell us this before?
Cos it wasn't relevant.
You know, I brought Josh up as my own.
I'm his real dad.
- What's going on? - Mrs. Foster, have you seen anyone
hanging around the house this morning?
- No. - Any visitors? Any calls?
Just the detective.
- What detective? - He came to take Melanie
to the station for questioning.
Ken, he's taken Melanie.
Circulate it to all units!
All units from DC Blackstone.
Suspect is in a black saloon
last seen on Beech Avenue in Alwoodley.
Stop the car!
I want to get out now!
- Let me out! Let me out! - Not until we talk!
- Let me out! - Melanie, stop!
I just want to talk.
- Leave me alone! - Melanie!
I just want to talk to you!
Come back!
God. What's happening?
Don't worry, come on.
Please help me...
All units from DC Blackstone,
suspect is in a black saloon.
Index, Papa, Yankee, Five, Three, Juliet, Yankee, Lima.
Vehicle was seen heading south on the Leeds Road.
All units respond.
All received by DI Morton. I'm on the Leeds Road.
I thought she was having time off.
From DI Morton, I'm now following the suspect.
DI Morton, what is your location?
Still heading south into the city.
Need some help here!
Come on.
Don't worry, they've got you now.
Here you are, love.
What happened to her? Where's the driver?
DCI Banks to DI Morton, come in.
Martin.
Why didn't you tell me about Josh?
I couldn't tell anyone.
Yeah, well, now they think you killed him.
- I thought Fallon killed him. - No.
It's not how it looks.
You used me, didn't you? To get Fallon's name?
I needed the information.
DI Morton, your location. Over.
Wait.
Just hear me out. Please.
I spent 20 years in the force and got nothing back.
The only good thing I got out of it was Josh and I threw that away.
I walked out on him and his mum and for what?
A pat on the back?
And now Denmoor and the brass are trying to stitch me up.
Please!
I lost Josh before I'd even got to know him properly
and I wasn't there for him when he needed me
but I can find out who killed him.
That's not your job.
No...
but it gives me a connection.
And that's all I've got left.
Please, Helen.
Just let me walk through the door.
I thought I told you to go home.
But you knew I wouldn't.
Meet me back at the station.
Hexton was undercover with a radical action group for 18 months.
Plenty of time for him to form a relationship with Sarah Tate.
Josh was six months old when Hexton testified at the court case.
And he just walked out on Sarah and Josh?
I get the impression that Sarah Tate didn't want any more to do with him.
Why didn't she make a complaint?
Maybe she was protecting her son.
You know, I want to sit in on this interview.
That's... That's not a good idea.
Well, even so, it was me who brought him in.
I lead, you listen.
Agreed?
Agreed.
Josh Tate's call records.
He received 23 calls from you
in the two weeks leading up to his death.
What was so important?
I wanted to meet up with my son.
So why did it take 23 calls to arrange a meeting?
He refused for the first 22.
What happened with you and Josh at the cafe?
He said he didn't want me to contact him any more.
He didn't want to be my son
and he didn't need another dad.
That must have upset you.
It did.
What did you do after the cafe?
I went back to the B&B and got drunk.
Did you try and contact Josh again?
I didn't kill my son.
Liam Fallon was seriously assaulted
at his home last night.
You had surveillance pictures of Fallon at the B&B.
Where did you get them?
An old friend in the crime squad.
This old friend got a name?
Where were you last night between 8 PM and midnight?
- Do you want to answer this? - Yeah.
I was with DS Hexton in his room
at his guest house until 10 o'clock.
Well, that still gives us two hours.
Well, let's not kid ourselves.
If you'd any evidence linking me to Fallon's assault
you'd have disclosed it.
What about Melanie Thomas?
What did you want with her?
How is she?
Look...
- I only wanted to talk to her. - So why lie to her?
Why did you say you had to bring her to the station?
Because it was the easiest way to get her out of that house.
I needed to see her alone, but then she collapsed.
So I drove straight to the hospital.
- What made her collapse? - I don't know.
Maybe something to do with the baby.
In the cafe
Josh told me Melanie was having his baby.
He was gonna be a dad.
And he wanted me to know
he was gonna do a better job than I did.
I went to see Melanie because I wanted to meet
the mother of my grandchild.
- Are you gonna release him? - Not if I can help it.
Well, do you have enough to keep him?
Boss, Annie's just spoken to the doctor.
Melanie Thomas is suffering from a post termination infection.
She got rid of the baby.
I better keep Annie up to speed on Hexton.
Spencer, I need a word with Melanie.
No worries.
I should be getting home.
- Are you coming back later? - Yeah, course.
You just...
take it easy, yeah?
- Thanks. - Thanks.
Just wasn't the right time.
Spencer's got University.
We've got all these plans, see.
I need you to make a statement about the man who brought you in here.
His name is Martin Hexton, he's Josh's father.
His real father.
- What did he want with me? - He wanted to meet you.
Josh told him the baby was his.
It wasn't Josh's baby.
He believed it was.
I don't want to make a statement.
Such a bloody stupid thing to do.
It was Spencer's fault.
He brought all his old private schoolmates to the club.
All of them... were pissed
and loud.
Rude.
He said he was showing me off to the lads.
I was embarrassed
and I was angry
and I wanted to hurt Spence.
And... Josh was there.
He was always bloody there.
And he was there for the baby?
It wasn't his baby.
I told him it was Spencer's baby but...
he didn't listen.
He said he knew it was his.
Like... Like it was fate or something.
Did Spencer know about you and Josh?
Of course not.
And he can't ever find out.
Please.
It didn't matter what she said,
Josh was convinced the baby was his.
It does explain a lot, though.
Josh thought he was about to become a dad.
That's huge. He felt it was time to step up.
He speaks to Calcutt and then to Fallon.
He tells them he's getting out of the drugs game.
Then he meets his dad, for the first time.
He gives him some home truths.
Josh Tate was taking responsibility.
So presumably Josh didn't know that Melanie
was planning to terminate this pregnancy.
No, I don't think so.
Melanie's termination was carried out on the night Josh was killed
at The Channing Clinic.
Channing? That's a private hospital.
Where did she get the money for that?
From boyfriend's mother, apparently.
- What? - Not only did she pay for it,
she drove Melanie to the clinic.
What, to abort her son's baby?
I suppose it's one way to bond with your future mother-in-law.
Hold on, if Melanie was at the clinic what about Spencer's alibi?
He wasn't with her that night.
Let's bring him in.
I don't understand.
Did she lose it?
No.
But she was bleeding.
Well, Melanie had had a termination
so the bleeding was due to complications.
Right.
Sorry.
Yeah.
She's not pressing charges against you.
- So we'll be releasing you tomorrow? - Why not now?
Look, I need to know that you're not gonna do anything
that's gonna compromise this case further.
Cos if you are we'll have the assign officers to watch you.
That's gonna be a drain on our resources
and that's gonna make it even harder for us to find Josh's killer.
And we will find out who did it.
You have to stop now. You have to trust us.
Let us get on with our job.
OK.
OK what?
It's over.
- Is my solicitor here yet? - We'll let you know when he arrives.
This is Spencer Foster.
He's been arrested in connection with the murder of Josh Tate.
Which is ridiculous.
We need to take a DNA sample and your fingerprints.
Why? He was my friend.
Spencer, on the morning that Josh's body was found
DS Cabott and DC Blackstone spoke to you.
- Do you remember that? - Yes.
When they asked you where you were the night before
what did you say?
I said I was in the flat all night
with my girlfriend, Melanie Thomas,
but I'd like to state for the record that I made a mistake about that.
- You made a mistake? - Yes,
on account of my recent shock.
- Shock? - Yeah.
My best friend had been killed
and my girlfriend had just aborted my baby.
Mr. Foster has seen a counsellor who has provided a letter
explaining that his confusion was due to recent grief.
Yeah, all right, Spencer.
Where were you really that night?
I was at home with Gerald Foster.
You were at home with you dad.
Yes, I arrived at the house at 6:30 and left at 2 AM.
A local minicab took me back to the flat in Leeds.
We have the driver's details.
We can check that for ourselves, thank you.
Why didn't you tell us about your mistake earlier?
Yeah, you know what? I... I absolutely should have done.
- So why didn't you? - Because I was in shock.
Did you see Josh the night he died?
- No. - Did he contact you that night?
- No. - Did you know
that he thought that the baby your girlfriend was carrying was his?
No, I didn't know that.
Must be a shock for you.
Interview suspended, 19:26.
You ever seen a 19-year-old
give a performance like that in an interview?
He was certainly prepared for us.
He wasn't prepared, he'd been coached.
Someone's sat him down and gone through every inch of his story.
No doubt Gerald Foster,
given he's providing him with an alibi.
Do you want to release him?
- Forensics find anything about house? - Nothing yet.
Keep him in overnight. We'll speak to the parents first thing tomorrow.
I shouldn't be too late tonight.
Annie, you don't have to decide.
About marriage. It's fine.
I'm happy for us to keep going as we are.
You taking back your proposal?
No, I want to marry you but...
I don't want you to feel forced into it.
- David, it's just that - - You don't have to explain.
I know.
I didn't mean to put any pressure on you.
OK.
Thanks.
So I'll keep in touch and let you know what progress
we're making with the case.
Thank you.
Are you interviewing the flat mate?
Like I said, if there's any news I'll be in contact.
Why did you go back to him?
I mean, back then.
I thought we had a future.
I thought we were gonna stay together.
But you went back to Michael.
Why?
I didn't go back for Michael.
I went back for the boys.
I did it for them.
It's funny,
if you'd said that back then I...
I wouldn't have understood.
But I do now.
You kept Spencer in all night.
When will he be released?
Just as soon as we've spoken to you and your wife, Mr. Foster.
I just don't understand why you're keeping him in.
The night that boy was killed Spencer was here with Gerald.
- How can you be sure? - Sorry?
You were at The Channing Clinic.
Must have been hard,
taking Melanie for the termination.
And why would it be hard?
Well, because it was your son's baby
and your first grandchild, potentially.
Spencer has plenty of time to start a family.
And when he does I have no doubt
it will be was someone he loves.
Oh, you don't think he loves Melanie?
She's a sweet girl,
she's clearly very fond of Spencer
but sadly he's only using her to provoke us.
Provoke you how?
Spencer's at that age, looking for ways to rebel,
kick against his comfortable upbringing.
What better way to spook the folks
than to bring home a stripper?
So you were more than happy to take her for the determination.
My son made a mistake.
It was my job, as a parent, to help him rectify it.
Spencer was upset, it's only natural,
so I told him to come home for the night.
And then what you did you do?
Made dinner, watched TV
and then I gave him a bit of a lecture.
About what?
Contraception, mostly, but also about growing up.
Taking responsibility.
Did Spencer leave at any time?
You mean, did you pop out and kill his best friend
when I turned my back?
I was with him the whole night.
Would you excuse me a moment?
Speaking.
Yeah, he's here now.
Thanks.
Spencer's solicitor doesn't think you have any reason
to hold him further.
So I'll come and get him, if that's all right with you?
I can't believe we're letting him go.
No choice, his lawyers are all over us.
- So what's the next move? - Talk to Melanie again,
find out why she backed Spencer's alibi.
You, Ken and Tariq go over everything you can find on the Fosters.
What's our next move? We keep going till we get them.
Why did you arrest Spencer?
Because we had questions to ask him.
What questions?
Spencer and Josh were friends, why would Spencer kill him?
Spencer lied about his alibi and you backed him up.
I need to know why.
- Melanie? - They want to do some tests.
I'll be here when you get back.
What is he doing?
- What is he doing?! - Idiot!
Listen, are you...
- Gerry! - No, no, no, no, no!
- No! - Get off!
You killed Josh, you bastard!
Get off! Get off! Dad!
- Dad! - Spencer! Spencer!
Thank you.
- Helen? - Hexton ran them off the road.
He took Spencer.
Why are you here? Why aren't you looking for him?
We're gonna find him, Mrs. Foster.
I assure you.
Let me out!
Stop! Stop driving!
Let me out!
Please, don't worry. We're doing all we can.
Boss, traffic saw his car 20 minutes ago.
They tried to pursue him but lost him.
- Well, where was this? - Heading north on the Harrogate Road.
He's going to the ravine. You better come with me, Helen.
"What happened betwen us shouldn't have happened.
"I couldn't help myself. I'm sorry."
"Just leave me alone. It's disgusting what you did to me.
"I told you to stop."
"Melanie you cannot tell anyone what happened.
"You cannot tell Spencer."
"Melanie, I am really sorry. Please forgive me."
Tariq, I need you to do a number trace for me.
Requesting four units,
an armed response team and an ambulance.
Don't! Let me go! Please!
Time to tell the truth!
I haven't done anything wrong!
Don't do this! Don't! Let me go, please!
No, don't. Don't!
Do you see down there?
That's where Josh ended up, down there on those rocks.
I don't know anything!
I don't believe you.
I'm telling the truth.
Well, here's the thing, Spencer.
All my life I've lied.
It was my job, it kept me alive.
I'm an expert in that field.
See, I can spot a lie.
I can feel when someone's lying to me.
I can hear it in your voice right now.
Martin!
- Martin! - You're just in time!
Spencer's about to confess.
Martin, it doesn't have to end like this.
You had your chance, you didn't get him.
This where we find out the truth.
Martin...
- OK, Spencer. - No...
Start talking.
It was an accident! I didn't mean to kill him.
He was waiting outside the house for me.
He told me it was his baby,
he said he was gonna take Melanie away.
I don't even know how I did it.
I just went too far. I hit him, I didn't mean it.
Well, there you go.
- There's your confession. - And now we have to arrest him.
This ends here.
- Right now. - You're still a police officer, Martin!
No! Not any more!
That's all gone.
I'm doing this because I'm a dad.
- Da...! - You're not...!
You're not a dad.
You're not Josh's dad.
All right?
Biologically, maybe, but that doesn't make you a dad.
Matthew Tate is Josh's dad.
Now, you throw Spencer over
and you deny Matthew Tate a father's justice.
- Josh was my son. - No.
No, you walked out 20 years ago.
You wanted nothing to do with Josh.
You DON'T get to have this revenge. You haven't earned it, Martin.
This is not about Josh, it's not about justice.
This is about trying to make up for the years and years you weren't there.
But it's too late.
You had your chance and you blew it.
Josh didn't want you.
Martin, he wouldn't have wanted this.
- Why didn't he want me? - I don't know.
I only wanted to be part of his life.
I know.
But your kids...
.. they break your heart.
You shouldn't be looking at that.
Melanie, why didn't you tell someone you were raped?
You think anyone would have believed me?
They'd just say I was asking for it.
No.
I've read the texts. You don't think that, you know what it was.
You can't tell Spencer.
He has to know.
If he finds out he'll dump me and then I'll be alone.
It's my family.
Family doesn't treat you like that.
Family should be there for you and make you feel safe.
Things just went a bit far.
Melanie, look where you are.
Josh is dead, you've lost a child.
You're better off on your own, trust me.
Boss.
- How was it with Melanie? - Informative.
Two young lads get into a fight, one of them lashes out
in the heat of the moment, no murderous intent.
A tragic accident, rush of blood.
Spencer's committed a crime
but it's a crime I can understand.
What I can't comprehend...
.. is what you two did next.
You covered it up, didn't you?
Spencer told us.
You drove Josh Tate's body out to the ravine
and you tossed him away like he was a piece of rubbish.
We were protecting Spencer.
It's the arrogance that gets me.
You two decided that your son's life
was so much more important than Josh Tate's.
Well, of course we did. We're his parents, for God sake.
We only did what every other parent would do.
This was gonna ruin Spencer's life.
And what about Josh Tate's life?!
There was nothing we could do, he was already dead.
And there was no point in destroying Spencer's future
for something that couldn't be helped.
Couldn't be helped?
Spencer made a mistake.
And we did what parents do
when their children make mistakes.
You rectified it.
That wasn't the only thing you covered up, was it?
Mr. Foster?
I don't understand.
The party you had for your anniversary.
Spencer brought Melanie.
Spencer stayed but your husband drove Melanie home.
Do you remember?
- You don't have to listen to this. - Oh, yes, she does.
What's she talking about?
I'm talking about your husband raping Melanie in his car
and after she got pregnant with his baby
you helped to get rid of it.
You see, you ended up covering up two crimes.
Gerald?
Gerald Foster, Elaine Foster,
I'm placing you both under arrest.
You do not have to say anything but it may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned
something which you later rely on in court.
Will we see you for drinks tonight?
I have to go and see dad.
OK.
- Helen? - I was just passing.
I wanted to tell you that... I'll sign the divorce papers
but please, let's not fight over the boys.
OK.
We're about to start a film.
There's plenty of pizza.
The boys would love to see you.
I'd love some pizza.
I've got yours in.
Thank you.
Two nil down before half time.
Dad, I'm sorry about the other night.
I was tired, I was angry
and I took it out on you.
The truth is Annie's getting married.
Or at least she might be, I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know?
She... hasn't made her mind up yet.
It makes sense.
David's Isla's father.
Annie's practically living with him anyway.
It's just the next step.
So, how come she hasn't said yes?
She's thinking it over.
So, there's still hope, then?
I don't know about that.
I don't think there's much more I can do.
- That's the spirit, Alan. - Look, she knows that I love her.
- Told her that, did you? - Course.
What else did you tell her?
Isn't that enough?
Not for her, where she is, in her life.
This guy's putting marriage on the table,
he's playing the big cards
and what are you doing?
Pretty words.
This is it, son.
It's half-time and you're two nil down.
So stop pissing about.
Start playing.
Thanks. Bye.
I thought you weren't coming.
I had my mind changed.
Before we go in...
You can't marry David.
Don't get me wrong,
he's a decent enough bloke for a solicitor
and he loves you. Obviously, he's Isla's dad.
It... It's difficult.
But he doesn't get you.
He's not the one you need.
And who do I need exactly?
Me.
I'm the one who gets you.
I'm the one you should be with.
You're unbelievable.
- You turn up here saying - - I love you, Annie.
You know that.
And I want to be with you
and Isla.
Be a family.
Marry me.
Alan.
Your timing is really shitty.
There you are!
Ken, boss is here.
Seen the size of the ring?
- I'll be in in a minute. - Ken's getting 'em in.
OK.
You said yes?
An hour ago.
