0:01:19 > 0:01:21Stop!
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Police! Stop!
0:01:24 > 0:01:25- Can I Taser her?- No!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- Let me Taser her!- No!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Stop! Stop!
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Oh, thank God for that!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- One move and you're down! - No, no, please don't!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40How many times, Davina?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42How many times do I have to tell you I hate giving chase?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Bloody hell, look at the state of me!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46I'm knackered, I'm sweat-dripping!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I'm going to be uncomfortable for the whole bloody day now!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Please! Look, I'm asking you, right,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54woman to woman, yeah?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Just one more chance, please? Please?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01You know, Davina, the drug dealing, I can handle.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02The lies.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06God, even using your own children to deliver the gear,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08it's all just what I've come to expect.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14You know the thing that really pisses me off
0:02:14 > 0:02:16is that despite all these ill-earned gains,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18you are still, still claiming benefits.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Which means mugs like me are paying for the privilege
0:02:23 > 0:02:25of chasing you around the bleeding streets.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Oh!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Leave her! Leave her! Leave her!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Leave her! Just come back!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36SHE GASPS
0:02:36 > 0:02:40No, no, no! Get the car! Get the car now!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42WHISPERS: Oh, shit!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45SIREN WAILS
0:02:45 > 0:02:47God, is this the fastest you can go?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, God!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- It's only a punch. Why is it...? - I'm pregnant, OK?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And you, you tell no-one, Mickey.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I haven't even told Paul yet.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Is it OK?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Is it all right?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09GENTLE THUDDING
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Heartbeat. He's fine.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Or she.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Let me check around a bit,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24but I think everything looks perfectly normal.
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Helen.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I didn't know who else to call.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Is everything OK?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Yeah, it's fine.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44It's fine.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- But I reckon my days on the street are over for a while.- Yeah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- TV:- Police in Polesford are continuing their search...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Oh, God, have you seen this?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56..for schoolgirls Poppy Johnston and Abigail Toms.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Abigail went missing three weeks ago
0:03:59 > 0:04:02and Poppy was last seen getting into a car yesterday.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Dave Guest is there for us this evening.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- So weird to see Polesford all over the news.- It's awful.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I spoke to Dad. He said the place is crawling with press.- Yeah?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14The police have mounted an intensive search of open ground in this area,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17although their efforts are being hampered by extensive flooding.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21It's been raining intensively here for over three weeks.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24So tonight, with two girls still missing,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26the tension here is palpable.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27This is a community in shock.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Paul?- In the bathroom.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46I need to talk to you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Well, I won't be a sec.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51TOILET FLUSHES
0:05:00 > 0:05:01I'm pregnant.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Are you serious?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14THEY LAUGH
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Oh, Helen!
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Hey! Have you washed your hands?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21No.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Can I have another kiss?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- TV:- Police are continuing their search...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28So, I know we're not out the woods yet,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30but can I...can I tell my mum?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33She'll be, like... Well, it'll make her year. It'll make her decade.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35..last seen getting into a car yesterday.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37God, this is what we've got to look forward to.
0:05:37 > 0:05:4020 years of fear.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Come on, you know how rare this stuff is.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I've dealt with child killers, it's always someone known to 'em.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Mm. Better keep an eye on your Ian, then.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50HE LAUGHS
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Shall I open this?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Erm...wine? Really?
0:05:58 > 0:06:02One glass. Everyone knows that's OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- TV:- ..Even more difficult because of torrential rain
0:06:05 > 0:06:07and extensive flooding in the area.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Oh, God! What have I done?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'm a copper!
0:06:12 > 0:06:16I can't see myself sitting in cafes with my tits out all day.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Helen, it'll be great!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Look, I'll take some time off.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22We'll just hang out, the three of us.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Come on. I mean, you can't say things have been easy lately, yeah?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27We've hardly seen each other.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30That's why coppers get together, isn't it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32So they don't have to.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- TV:- Is there any more news on
0:06:34 > 0:06:35the man they've brought in for questioning?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Sources close to the enquiry have told us
0:06:38 > 0:06:41that that man is Stephen Bates, a resident of Polesford.
0:06:41 > 0:06:4337-year-old Bates...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Shit!- What?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48The suspect's wife, I know her.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Linda Jackson, that's what she used to be called.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56She was my best friend.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57..The man currently in custody.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00However, he stated the investigation has taken a stride forward,
0:07:00 > 0:07:01and has...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Helen, there's an investigation team in place.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40They won't want you barging in there.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42But I've got specialist knowledge of the area,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and the suspect's wife is a childhood friend.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I'm sorry, I can't allow it.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52OK.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Well, um, there is another issue.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57Um...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Pregnant.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I haven't been feeling very well recently,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08so I'd like to request a week's leave, starting today.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Well, congratulations.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'm...I'm going to have to go to Polesford, obviously,
0:08:16 > 0:08:18tell my father the good news.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23All right, I'll get them to endorse access to Linda Bates,
0:08:23 > 0:08:25but no stepping on anyone's toes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Understand?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Helen?
0:08:32 > 0:08:33Yeah, I understand.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- What are you doing? - I'm coming with you.- No.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Helen, you're pregnant, you've got hormones raging around your body.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Oh, which makes that a very brave sentence.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Seriously, Paul, I don't...I don't need you there.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59The whole time I've known you, it's been, "I hate the place.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01"Reminds me of my mum dying."
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And then, all of a sudden, you want to go back.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Yeah, well, she was my best friend.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06When's the last time you saw her?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I've never even heard you mention her.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I need to help her.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Fine. Then you can see it as a mini-break.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17What, at my dad's, during a manhunt?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20You've got a funny idea of a holiday.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You OK?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Shall we go straight to your dad's?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23No, let's... Let's go see where they moved Linda to first.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Detectives Weeks and Hopkins. I've got authorisation.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I'm Helen Weeks, an old friend of Linda Jackson.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- I mean, Bates.- DC Sophie Carson.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- And this is Detective Hopkins. - Just you.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Oh, fine. I'll... I'll go for a walk, take in the sights.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15I'll let her know you're here.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Linda, you've got a visitor.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Helen Weeks.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Oh...
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Hello.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43He didn't take them girls, you know.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44They get it wrong...don't they?
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Sometimes, they make mistakes.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You stopped returning Christmas cards.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Sorry.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07My career, it sort of becomes all-consuming.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- We had a school reunion last year. - Yeah?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yeah, it was a laugh, what, with the old faces.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- You all right?- Hi.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22That's Charli.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- How's your sister? - Oh, she's...she's fine.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30She's married and she's got a couple of kids.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I just found out I'm pregnant.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You left it late.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yeah. Yeah, I suppose I did.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39You'll love it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Will I?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45I don't know.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49How about you, you and Stephen? How long have you been married?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Five years.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53He's not from round here.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Danny and Charli aren't his.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Danny?- My youngest.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02He's upstairs. He refuses to come down.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04And, yeah, Steve's great with them.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Like they're his own,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08seeing as it's so bloody obvious what you're thinking.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Everyone else is.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Paul Hopkins, the one and only!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Long time since Hendon! - Yeah. Good to see you, man.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45And you. I didn't realise you'd ended up round these parts.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Yeah. It's temporary. Still, big fish in a small pond, eh?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- You in Manchester? - Yeah, yeah, for my sins.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Oh, cool. Good.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56So, um...what can I do for you?
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Nothing, really. My girlfriend's down visiting her father,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I thought I'd come and see how the search was going.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Your girlfriend being Helen Weeks?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I was the one that gave her the nod to talk to Linda.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Oh.- Truth? It's been a bloody nightmare.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Flooding means we can't search as thoroughly in a lot of places.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13River's moving so fast, it's too hard for the divers.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14That where you think they are, the river?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It'd be the most obvious thing.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- It's flowing so fast, they'd be gone like that.- Mm.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20When it comes to getting rid of bodies,
0:14:20 > 0:14:21this weather is pretty useful.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Bodies? They could still be alive.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Two girls? One missing over three weeks?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- What do you think?- Mm.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- So, well, what's Bates saying? - He's saying he picked up Poppy
0:14:32 > 0:14:35when she was on her way to a night out in Tilworth.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36So, I mean, he's not denying picking her up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39He can't, cos we've got witnesses. He's denying killing her.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41What about the first girl?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44He claims he never picked her up. We're checking his car now.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Maybe we'll find something.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Mate, listen, if you can get me a strand of hair right now,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- I'll go straight and charge that smug prick.- Smug?
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Yeah, he's got one of them faces.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Right, well, listen, I'll get out your way.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59All right, mate, take care. Make the most of your time, man.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Go to the model village, if it's not under a foot of water.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04I'll go and add a load of very little policemen, make it realistic.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06See you, mate.
0:15:06 > 0:15:07Yeah, see you later.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Hey!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Hey! Come in! You're soaking.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- Hey, Robert, how are you doing? - Good to see you!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Hey, beauty! What's your name? Aw! Lovely!
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Syd, this is Paul. You met briefly at that golfing thing.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Hey, mate, good to see you again. - And you, and you. Welcome.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Hi, Syd.- Long time. - I thought you'd be earlier.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40No, I...I had to go and see Linda.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43This is what it takes to get her to come home, you know?
0:15:43 > 0:15:44A crime scene.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's terrible, isn't it?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49She was her best friend, has she told you?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Yeah. Yeah, she did.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I'm not saying he's guilty, but, erm,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57he once knocked a parcel clean out of my hand in the post office.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- Never apologised. - Oh, well, send him down.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02THEY LAUGH
0:16:02 > 0:16:05No, actually, there's... Well, there's another reason.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08We've...we've got some news for you.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Oh, my God! You're not...?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17We're going to be grandads! Come here!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- THEY LAUGH - Congratulations.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22And you. Well done, mate!
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Thanks, Robert.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Hey, come on, come through. - Tea for four?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Yeah.- Come on! Good boy!
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Oh, well! No en suite, furniture's seen better days,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01and do you call that a king-size?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I'll have to bad-mouth them on TripAdvisor.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- You OK?- Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10It's just weird being back.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12You know, seeing Linda.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14This room.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19You know, you tell people that you're pregnant
0:17:19 > 0:17:22and they're all, like, "Oh, wow! Fantastic!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25"Oh, my God, you're going to be amazing!" Huh!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30What if I'm not?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I can't see myself in elasticated jeans, wiping arses.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35HE LAUGHS What?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Wait here.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Now, imagine we have one who looks like her.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Oh, now, she's cute. You wouldn't mind that face looking up at you.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06I'm going to remind you of that
0:18:06 > 0:18:10when she needs feeding at four o'clock in the morning.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12You were a cute kid.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I'm excited, Helen.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18This is a new start for us.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I love you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27I love you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- DOOR BANGS - Hey! Turn the TV on.
0:18:56 > 0:18:57What?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- TV:- Police won't yet confirm if the body is that of either
0:19:02 > 0:19:05of the missing schoolgirls, Poppy Johnston or Abigail Toms.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07What they will say is that a body,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09believed to be that of a young white female,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11has been discovered in nearby woodland...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Think of them poor parents. - It's awful.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Formal identification has not yet been completed...
0:19:15 > 0:19:16PHONE RINGS
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- ..but Poppy was last seen on 6th April.- Hello?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Helen, it's me. They're taking me in for questioning.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Would you come with me, please?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Yeah, of course I will. I'll be there as soon as I can.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34It's Linda. They're taking her in for questioning. I've got to go.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36..The discovery of the body is a gruesome development
0:19:36 > 0:19:38in a case which has so shocked...
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Linda, as you're probably aware,
0:19:45 > 0:19:47a body was discovered early this morning
0:19:47 > 0:19:50in woodlands to the west of the town.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Which is it, Abby or Poppy?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Well, there's no formal identification as yet,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59but I can say, with certainty, it is the body of Abigail Toms.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Did you know her?
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I knew who she was, erm, but I didn't know her.
0:20:09 > 0:20:10What about Steve?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Same.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13She ever been in his car?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Not that I know of.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Right. Well, that's what he told us.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Your husband said that Abigail had never been in his car.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I'm afraid to say that he wasn't telling the truth.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Forensic tests prove beyond a doubt that she has.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, there must be some kind of mistake.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Your husband smokes Marlboro Lights, doesn't he?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Yeah. So...?- We found a cigarette end with the body,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45caught in plastic.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46What plastic?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Abigail's body was wrapped up in plastic. In bin bags.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- So...?- It was a Marlboro Light.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56DNA results are in today.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58By this afternoon.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I know your husband's DNA will be all over it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04No, that's not possible.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- You don't have to do this.- Do what?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Say what you think you should... to protect him.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'm not! Helen, can you say something?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Look, I'm running this investigation, not her.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Please direct all your answers to me, OK?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22All they mean is that if you can think of anything that might help...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26..right now's the time to speak up.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Do you know that we took your husband's computer from your house?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Yes.- And we found some stuff on the hard drive
0:21:34 > 0:21:37that we deem to be quite significant.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38Like what?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Porn?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Let's just say it was age specific.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Hm.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06All right, so he was looking at porn.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Don't you, Detective?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10This doesn't...
0:22:11 > 0:22:16This is fantasy! Right, who hasn't watched porn? Who?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18I know I have. What, does...does that make me a murderer,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20does it, Detective?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Poppy Johnston.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25The night she went missing, Stephen was watching porn.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28He says he was at a pub in Atherstone,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31but computer records show that he was at home,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33watching some of this stuff here.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Can you explain that?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Whatever happens, Linda,
0:22:41 > 0:22:43you still have Danny and Charli.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Now, you need to think about your lives together.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Your life without Stephen.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Get back!
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Go on, get back!
0:23:22 > 0:23:24See them bastards out there?
0:23:24 > 0:23:2720, 30 journalists, all wanting a piece of us.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30This is how innocent people get treated.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Have you seen the photo they're using of him?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36They're painting him like a murderer!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44It's been a tiring day.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Do you think you should have a rest?
0:23:46 > 0:23:49You know, I'll...I'll run a bath, or something.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- I'll make you...- Offer me tea and I'll take your head off!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56You were no use in there.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Letting him say whatever he wanted.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01This isn't my case.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I told you, Linda,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I'm here as a friend.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14You think I'm kidding myself about Steve, don't you?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Ignoring what's staring me in the face.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- I've no idea.- Yeah, well, I do, because I know him.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I've lived with him. I've held him. I've had him inside me,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29and that is not a man that hurts young girls.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I want to help you.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Hey. You all right?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Could they not have put us in an hotel?
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- This place stinks of dogs, man.- Huh!
0:25:08 > 0:25:12You, erm, you and your sister want anything? I could get you some food.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Mm.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Chips.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Chips and rice.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Chips and rice and...veg?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Tomato sauce.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32Right, coming up.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- How is she?- She's doing cartwheels.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Yeah, well...
0:25:58 > 0:26:00What, she deserves to feel like shit?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03She tell you anything?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04Yeah, she did, actually.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07She knows where the other girl's body is.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11They were in on it together. Some weird sexual thing, you know?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14After they killed them, they shagged each other's brains out.
0:26:14 > 0:26:15Fucking hell!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Look, professionally speaking, this is none of your business.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21One call, I can have you thrown out of here.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Fine, but you just remember this -
0:26:22 > 0:26:25whatever that twat she's married to has done, and it might be nothing,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- she has done nothing wrong. - You sure about that?- Yeah.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Cos you're old school friends? - No, because I'm good at my job.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Oh, God!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Bloody TVs in pubs.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Oh, I'm sorry, excuse me. Have you got a table for two?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Oh... Ten minutes?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- If you want to wait, you can get a drink at the bar.- Yeah, fine.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I was wondering about heading back home.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- I mean, there's nothing else we can do here.- No. No, not yet.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I mean, you can go back if you want, but I've got to stay. For Linda.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Helen? Helen Weeks?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- It's me!- Oh, my God!
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Don't tell me you don't remember?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- No, of course I do. - Paula Days, your Jenny's mate!
0:27:18 > 0:27:19I know, I know.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Ah!
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Fancy seeing you here. Days and Weeks back together.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31I looked for you a few times on Facebook. Are you not on it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- No.- Oh, you should. It's a laugh.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Your Jenny's looking well, under all the tiredness.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Is this your fella? - Oh, yeah, sorry. This is Paul.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Pleased to meet you. - Mm! Copper, is he?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Well, it's the face, apparently.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Yeah, the place is swarming with them.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Yeah, we both are, actually.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54No way! You, filth?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56No offence.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- So, what do you do?- I'm a nurse.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00What a right load of do-gooders we are!
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Hey! Gav!
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Still waiting for a bloody table.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09This is Helen, a mate from school.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- Hiya.- This is her fella, Paul. - You all right, mate?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14This is Gavin, local sex god.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- At your service!- How's it been?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Bloody mental. I ain't stopped since lunch.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- He's a cabbie.- Oh, right. - It's crazy, mate, I'm telling you.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22It's like the circus has come to town.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Mind you, I'm not complaining. It all helps pay for my sweetheart.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- Aw!- It's not me. He means his four-by-four.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32I swear to God, he'd shag that thing if it wasn't illegal.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Oh, well, I'm not sure it is illegal.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Might be, in public.- Coppers.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Better check my road tax is up to date, then.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43Trevor!
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Pint of lager, and a snakebite and black, when you're ready, mate.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- You OK?- What can I get you?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Oh, erm, half a lager. - Pint of Guinness. Thanks.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Pint of Guinness and half a lager as well, please, mate.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56So, are you, erm, are you here for the murders?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Keep your voice down!
0:28:58 > 0:29:01He knows Stephen Bates, don't you?
0:29:01 > 0:29:02And do you think he did it?
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Not a clue.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I mean, either way, it wouldn't surprise me.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08You know, who knows what goes on up there?
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I mean, no-one really knows anyone, do they?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Table's ready. - Oh. Can you make it for four?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Oh, no, no, no. No, we couldn't. - I insist!
0:29:15 > 0:29:18I want to hear all the gossip about Jenny.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Um...are you...are you sure?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Yes!- OK, fine, yeah.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- You go, I'll get these in. - Ah, fantastic.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Copper with his hand in his pocket. Someone take a photograph!
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Oh, God!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Helen? Come on.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Erm...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41- After you.- Oh, thank you!
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- You're welcome. - He's all right!- Yeah.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- 11 weeks?- Yeah.- So, that's, what...?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Oh, it's October.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Wow! Autumn baby! Are you excited?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- Oh, definitely. Can't wait.- Yep.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Colic, nappy rash, six hours to leave the house,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00every possession we've got covered in snot and baby food.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01I can't wait!
0:30:01 > 0:30:03You'll need a bigger motor.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Oh, here he goes! Are you going to recommend a four-by-four?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Right, she takes the piss, but they are the best car you can buy.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I've been doing runs down to the lower villages
0:30:14 > 0:30:17and they are perfect in the flooding. Sails like a yacht.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Amount of water down there, you'd need a yacht!
0:30:20 > 0:30:21THEY LAUGH
0:30:21 > 0:30:23So, what are yous doing tomorrow?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Oh...- Oh, I don't know. Lazy day, maybe.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Yeah. Spot of surfing.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Why don't you come over?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32We'll do brunch, I'll dig out all the old photos,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35we'll give these two a laugh at our hairstyles.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Oh, that is lovely, Paula, but we might just chill out
0:30:38 > 0:30:40and go and see Linda again.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Oh, right. Yeah. OK.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- Maybe another day.- Yeah, yeah.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48I mean, I'm being pushy, anyway, because we weren't even friends.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- I mean, you weren't even that nice to me.- What? I'm sorry?
0:30:55 > 0:30:57You and Linda.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I don't know, I think it was because we were two years younger than you,
0:31:00 > 0:31:03me and Jenny, but you didn't really want us around.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Paula, that...that's not true.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Come on! Always trying to get rid of us.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12You used to bully us quite a bit.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Bully you?
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Paula!
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Don't pretend you don't remember.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Look, if I did, Paula, I... I'm sorry.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Hm. Long time ago now.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37No, I think it's lovely,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41you know, that you've come back for Linda at a time like this.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Hey! Hey. You all right?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53Yeah, I'm fine.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Well, I never had you down as a school bully.- I wasn't.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- I'd better watch my step. - No, she's full of shit!
0:32:09 > 0:32:12We might not have wanted her and Jenny around,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14but, God, we never hurt them!
0:32:17 > 0:32:19PHONE RINGS
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Who's that? - It's no-one. It's just work.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- MAN ON VOICEMAIL: - Helen, I need to speak to you.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Call me as soon as you can.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I'm helping DI Cornish.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20OK, you can go in.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Anything interesting?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39DI Helen Weeks.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40- Manchester?- Been seconded.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Interesting stuff's already gone to the lab. We're just tidying up.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- What stuff?- Fag end they got very excited about, in with the body.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Who found it, the body?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52An old man walking his dog. Same old story.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55The dog did most of the digging for us. It's not very deep.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57What state was it in?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00The dog? Traumatised. It was his first dead human.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02She's been in there a while.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Burst open, so it's all a bit insect-y. There's photos.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Yeah, not pretty.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25No, I'm... Hm!
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I'm pregnant. It's, um... It's morning sickness.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29Whatever you say.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40The body's burned.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42By the looks. It's pretty stinky.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Well, there goes the killer's DNA.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48That's probably why he did it.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Thanks very much.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17WHISPERS: Fucking hell! Come on!
0:36:24 > 0:36:26SHE EXHALES
0:36:28 > 0:36:31WHISPERS: Piss off! Sod off!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Sod off! Piss off! Sod off!
0:36:33 > 0:36:35BARKING
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- Morning...kind of!- Morning.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Big dog-walking area, this, is it? These woods?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Yeah, everyone comes here. Or they used to, before, erm...
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Yeah. Yeah.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59The dogs love it.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05OK. Well, have a good walk.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Thanks. And, erm, don't worry, I didn't see anything.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15BARKING
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Is she all right - Helen?
0:37:18 > 0:37:20She's fine. I think the pregnancy took her by surprise.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22It wasn't like we were trying.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- But you're both happy about it? - I am, definitely.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27And Helen?
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Well, you know Helen, she's so...driven.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35I think she's worried about spending too much time away from it all.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39Hm! Or maybe she's scared about how much she'll love it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Why does she never come back?- Ah!
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I mean, I know she says it's to do with her mum, but...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I don't know. She had tough teen years. Moody.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Helen always had...big ambitions.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54I think this place represents
0:37:54 > 0:37:56everything she didn't want for her life.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Her biggest fear was becoming someone like Linda.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Either that or she's ashamed her old dad's found love again.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Oh, hardly!- It's time I was getting back. You coming?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07No, no, I think I'm going to head into town,
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- get a cup of tea, or something. - Something? Is it that time already?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Yeah. See you.- See you in a bit.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Come on, boy. Come on, lad, let's go home.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Hello?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Hello?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Hello?
0:40:09 > 0:40:10FOOTSTEPS
0:40:13 > 0:40:15SHE GASPS
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Gavin!
0:40:29 > 0:40:31TYRES SCREECH
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Do you mind if I breathe in some real smoke?
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- You packed it in?- Yeah, sort of.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50That one kills you, apparently.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53You've got to die of something.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I'm Paul.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- Shelley.- Just Shelley?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03It's what they call me.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Love to read it. Write a bit, too.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Oh! Poetry-writing chef.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09I'm a copper, before you ask.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- Whatever floats your boat.- Oh.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- I'll... I'll leave you to it. - Yeah, that's a good idea, yeah.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Hello, you.- Hiya.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32LOW CHATTER
0:41:36 > 0:41:37- Hey!- Hiya!
0:41:37 > 0:41:39- What are you having?- Just an orange.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40And an orange juice, please.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- How's it going?- Yeah.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Oh, Helen, this is Trevor.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- It's my name over the door.- Ah.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49So, let me guess, coppers?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Have I got a sign on my face, or something?
0:41:53 > 0:41:56They say the gays have a radar for each other. I think coppers do.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- I'm ex-force.- Oh.
0:41:58 > 0:42:0030 years' service.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Oh, well, we're...we're just on holiday.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04I heard he drank in here, Bates.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06I thought you were on holiday?
0:42:06 > 0:42:09He's a normal bloke, is Stephen.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10He's got some funny politics.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13A bit towards the left for my liking.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14That's not a crime, is it?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17So the girl was in his car. It doesn't prove much.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Small town like this, people give each other lifts.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23My boy goes to St Mary's. I've had both those girls in my car.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25So have I. Many a time.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Lovely girl, that Abigail. Not like some of them.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I mean, she liked a drink
0:42:30 > 0:42:33and she had one of them stupid tattoos they all have.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37A huge rose. But that's like goody-two-shoes around here.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- All right, Bob?- Oh, here we go, the entertainment's arrived!
0:42:40 > 0:42:42- Pint of best.- Afternoon, Bob!
0:42:42 > 0:42:44HE LAUGHS
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Bob was in here the other week, shouting about how someone
0:42:47 > 0:42:50had been on his farm in the middle of the night and, what was it,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- nicked some piglet? - MAN SQUEALS
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Accusing all and bloody sundry, weren't you, Bob?
0:42:55 > 0:42:56Aye, well, some bastard took 'em.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Giving me the third degree.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Seeing if I had spareribs on the menu.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Aye, and I'm still bloody watching you. And you!
0:43:06 > 0:43:09And you wonder why I never come back.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10- TV:- Breaking news tonight.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Polesford resident Stephen Bates has been charged
0:43:13 > 0:43:15with the murder of teenager Abigail Toms.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Abigail's burned remains were discovered in woodland yesterday.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21Poppy Johnston is still missing.
0:43:21 > 0:43:2337-year-old Bates will appear
0:43:23 > 0:43:26in East Midlands Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31I don't think he killed those girls.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34Something doesn't feel right.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36Look, do you not think you're getting too close to this?
0:43:36 > 0:43:38I mean, I know she's an old friend, but...
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Up until a few weeks ago, he was a normal family man.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Hardworking. No-one ever had a bad word.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49And then, suddenly, he decides to pick up young girls and murder them?
0:43:49 > 0:43:51It happens. You know it happens.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53It could've been in his mind for years.
0:43:53 > 0:43:57Like that dick Gavin Sweeney said, everybody's got secrets.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05You OK?
0:44:07 > 0:44:10We need to speak to your mate Cornish first thing.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Ah, the famous Helen Weeks.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23- Nice suit.- I'm in court later.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25It's only a first hearing.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27You should see what I got for the trial.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31So, erm, you guys here to congratulate me on nailing my man?
0:44:31 > 0:44:32It's a bit early for that, isn't it?
0:44:32 > 0:44:35No, we've, erm, we've got a stupid question for you.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37What, you have or she has?
0:44:39 > 0:44:42We were wondering when the last time the woods were searched.
0:44:42 > 0:44:43Where the body was found.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46You mean the last time the woods were searched
0:44:46 > 0:44:47- before the body was found?- Mm-hm.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50I'd need to check to be absolutely sure.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52The search was a bit of a nightmare because of the floods.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Oh, the woods weren't flooded. They never get flooded.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- I'm talking about the organisational side of it.- Ah.
0:44:58 > 0:45:00I'd need to check. Why?
0:45:00 > 0:45:03I was down there yesterday.
0:45:03 > 0:45:04Out having a stroll, were you?
0:45:04 > 0:45:07That place is a dog-walkers' heaven morning, noon and night,
0:45:07 > 0:45:10so why did it take till yesterday for one of them to find her?
0:45:10 > 0:45:11I'm not being funny,
0:45:11 > 0:45:13but you might have to put this one down to chance, OK?
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- It happens.- How can she have been down there that long, though?
0:45:16 > 0:45:18The only thing we can be certain of
0:45:18 > 0:45:20is that she was buried before we nicked Bates.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23Other than that, we can't be certain how long she was there, can we?
0:45:23 > 0:45:24You guys trying to ruin my party?
0:45:24 > 0:45:27Look, I gather she was in quite a state, yeah?
0:45:27 > 0:45:28- Burned.- Not completely.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Enough to get rid of DNA.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33- Obviously, Bates knew what he was doing.- Did he?
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Why did he leave behind a fag end?
0:45:35 > 0:45:37It's always the little things.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40I appreciate that you have a vested interest, Helen.
0:45:40 > 0:45:41I understand that, you know,
0:45:41 > 0:45:45- you have a really close relationship with...- Oh, no, we're not close.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48But in case you've forgotten, you're supposed to be on our side.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51What side? I thought we were about finding the right person.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53- And we have.- Have you?
0:45:53 > 0:45:55I heard you're pregnant.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Congratulations.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59Now, if you're anything like my missus,
0:45:59 > 0:46:02right now, you'll probably be getting a little overemotional.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05- What the fuck?- Apologise. - I beg your pardon?
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- I said, apologise.- Oh, no, it's fine.- No. No, it's not.
0:46:08 > 0:46:11We're all coppers and we don't talk to each other like that. Apologise.
0:46:11 > 0:46:15Paul, I invited her onto this case, I extended my hand of friendship...
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Tim, apologise!
0:46:20 > 0:46:22I'm sorry.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Now, if you'll excuse me...
0:46:25 > 0:46:27What about time of death?
0:46:27 > 0:46:30SOCO said that the body was full of insects, burst open.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32So she would've been dead for weeks.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- Looks like it.- Looks? - Look, I'm not an idiot, all right?
0:46:35 > 0:46:38I do understand that she was dead before she went in the bag
0:46:38 > 0:46:40and before the bag went in the hole.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43Blowflies don't burrow down into the soil two feet
0:46:43 > 0:46:45to infest a body, do they?
0:46:45 > 0:46:47No. So, what did he do with the body after he killed her?
0:46:47 > 0:46:49He likes teen porn!
0:46:49 > 0:46:52He picked up Poppy in his car. We have a DNA match.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54It's not going to take a jury long, is it?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58See ya.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Prick!- Yeah, you said it.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Look, I do not need you standing up for me like that.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08What?
0:47:42 > 0:47:44All rise.
0:47:56 > 0:47:58Bring Stephen Bates to the dock.
0:48:12 > 0:48:16Please confirm your name, address and date of birth.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18FAINTLY: Stephen Alan Bates.
0:48:18 > 0:48:2031 Thornhill Road, Polesford.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Sorry, could you speak up, please?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Stephen Alan Bates.
0:48:24 > 0:48:2731 Thornhill R-Road, Polesford, Derbyshire.
0:48:27 > 0:48:2930th November 1978.
0:48:30 > 0:48:32You're charged with the offence of murder,
0:48:32 > 0:48:35and that on a day between the 16th day of March
0:48:35 > 0:48:37and the 7th day of April 2016,
0:48:37 > 0:48:41you murdered Abigail Toms, which is contrary to common law.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44You're also charged with two counts of kidnapping -
0:48:44 > 0:48:47of Abigail Toms and Poppy Johnston.
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Do you want to indicate a plea today?
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Not guilty.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56There will be no application for bail
0:48:56 > 0:48:58out of concern for my client's safety.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00These charges are so serious,
0:49:00 > 0:49:03I'm sending the case to Derby Crown Court.
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Your case will be listed in two days from today
0:49:05 > 0:49:07for a bail hearing before the Crown Court,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10when a date will be fixed for the preliminary hearing.
0:49:10 > 0:49:11Take him down.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Phil, it's me.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Paul. How's the holiday in murder town?
0:49:37 > 0:49:40Oh, it's fine for me. I think Helen's finding it hard, though.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Yes, well, going home does strange things to people.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Yeah. Listen, that info I sent you, did you get a chance to take a look?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49- Certainly did.- And?
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Look, dogs aren't always the most reliable creatures, Paul.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55No, but they're pretty good at finding bodies.
0:49:55 > 0:49:57- The smell, whatever. - Not all of them.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00My golden Lab sits there all day, barking at clouds.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03He eats cat shit like it's tapas.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Look, Paul, they have DNA, they have witnesses.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09It doesn't feel right, though.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12SOCO said the body was barely in the ground, not very deep,
0:50:12 > 0:50:14and yet no-one found it that whole time?
0:50:14 > 0:50:16Well, do you know what I think?
0:50:16 > 0:50:20You're a killer. You set fire to the body.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23And out with the old Swan Vestas and up it goes. Whoosh!
0:50:23 > 0:50:26But then you rush back over
0:50:26 > 0:50:30and put out the fire before the body's completely burned.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Look, maybe I'm going nowhere with this
0:50:33 > 0:50:36and maybe he just couldn't bear to see her all burned up like that,
0:50:36 > 0:50:39but maybe...maybe it was something different.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Perhaps he loved her.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46But, as I say, I could be talking out of my arse.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50No. No, thanks, Phil, that's...that's really helpful.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54ANGRY SHOUTING
0:50:56 > 0:50:58Just stay back!
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Tensions have been rising on this estate
0:51:08 > 0:51:10ever since these two girls disappeared.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12Now Linda Bates has returned home,
0:51:12 > 0:51:14having seen her husband Stephen in court,
0:51:14 > 0:51:17charged with the murder of Abigail Toms.
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Meanwhile...
0:51:18 > 0:51:20PHONE RINGS
0:51:22 > 0:51:24I'm sorry, I need to take this.
0:51:24 > 0:51:26- Yeah, sure.- Are you OK?
0:51:26 > 0:51:27Tickety-boo.
0:51:29 > 0:51:32- Hello, sir.- Helen, what the hell are you playing at?
0:51:32 > 0:51:35- Oh, it's nice to hear from you, too, sir.- Don't mess me around.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37You're on my screen, on my news feed,
0:51:37 > 0:51:39side by side with a killer's wife.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42- Yeah, well, I can explain, sir. - I don't care.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45This is high profile. This isn't coming just from me.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Helen, I'm saying this as a friend.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53Move yourself away from it.
0:52:23 > 0:52:24You all right?
0:52:31 > 0:52:34Do you ever think about what happened all them years ago?
0:52:39 > 0:52:41Every fucking day.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Adam, wh...
0:53:29 > 0:53:32You should know better than to tell Mickey anything.
0:53:34 > 0:53:35So...
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Is it mine?
0:54:07 > 0:54:09GASPING BREATHS
0:54:12 > 0:54:15Stephen Bates has persistently refused
0:54:15 > 0:54:17to tell police where our daughter is.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19She has been missing for five days now
0:54:19 > 0:54:21and we are desperate to hear from her.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23Still think he didn't do it?
0:54:23 > 0:54:25I admit, it doesn't exactly scream innocence.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27- What is this place?- Hell on earth.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30You've been weird ever since we came down here.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32There's something. I know there's something.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34I feel so guilty, Linda.
0:54:34 > 0:54:36We were 13 years old.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38We were little girls.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41I'm hoping you'll help me prove he didn't kill anyone.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43So, what are you saying, you think Poppy's still alive?
0:54:43 > 0:54:47I think she might be, yeah. I think it's possible.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50- You don't believe her, do you? - No. I don't.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Know your enemy.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55We learned that a long time ago, didn't we?
0:54:55 > 0:54:58I know who killed Abigail Toms.
