0:00:04 > 0:00:08This programme contains some strong language and some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting
0:00:08 > 0:00:10I'm pregnant. HE LAUGHS
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Police in Polesford are continuing their search for the missing
0:00:13 > 0:00:15schoolgirls Poppy Johnston and Abigail Toms. Shit. What?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Suspect's wife, I know her. She was my best friend.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I have to go to Polesford. All right, I'll get them to endorse
0:00:20 > 0:00:23access to Linda Bates, but no stepping on anyone's toes.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25We're going to be grandads! Come here.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28It's just weird being back.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29You know, seeing Linda.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Two girls,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33one missing over three weeks. What do you think?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36TV: 'Abigail's burnt remains were discovered in woodland yesterday.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38'Poppy Johnston is still missing.'
0:00:38 > 0:00:41So, let me guess - coppers.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43How's the holiday in Murder Town?
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I mean, no-one really knows anyone, do they?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Do you ever think about what happened all them years ago?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Yeah. Every day.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53So, is it mine?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31I used to come here when I was younger.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It wasn't deserted then.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36We used to go crazy in those cornfields.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I was younger - getting off with boys,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44fumbling around like we knew what we were doing...
0:02:44 > 0:02:45And this is relevant, is it?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47To you being pregnant with my kid.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48It's not yours.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Ah, come on!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52It is relevant. If you just wait...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Fine. Tell me the story.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's what I do, Adam. I sabotage my life.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06You know, you think I was unhappy, but maybe it was the opposite.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Maybe I was just terrified of the happiness I was feeling.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Does he know about us?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13What do you think?
0:03:15 > 0:03:16How about I tell him?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Oh, yeah, that's a great idea,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21then how about I tell the rest of the force? Cos that'll go down well,
0:03:21 > 0:03:22shagging your colleague's girlfriend.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26You'll be trusted undercover. Helen, I didn't come here to have a scrap with you.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I came here because... Yes, to talk to you about the baby,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33but also to say that, if it is mine...
0:03:33 > 0:03:36and I reckon there's a pretty high chance it is, don't you...?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42..that I want to be a part of its life.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46And I want to be a part of yours.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58As most of you will already know, Stephen Bates,
0:03:58 > 0:04:03the man we believe to be responsible for the murder of Abigail Toms,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06is now on remand awaiting trial.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09While I commend Detective Inspector Cornish
0:04:09 > 0:04:13and his team for their excellent work on this tragic case,
0:04:13 > 0:04:18we must not lose sight of the fact that there is an inquiry still ongoing,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21so Poppy's parents, Michael and Annette,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23are going to make a short statement,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26after which I will be happy to answer any questions.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Stephen Bates has persistently refused to tell police
0:04:32 > 0:04:33where our daughter is.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39So today we are appealing to anyone who might know anything
0:04:39 > 0:04:42to please come forward and help police find Poppy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45She has been missing for five days now
0:04:45 > 0:04:48and we are desperate to hear from her.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Poppy is only 16 years old and it's completely
0:04:51 > 0:04:54out of character for her to leave home without telling us.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55And we just want her...
0:04:55 > 0:04:59All I am saying is just go home - let me have my space -
0:04:59 > 0:05:03and then when I'm back in Manchester, you know, we...
0:05:03 > 0:05:06RINGING Oh, shit!
0:05:08 > 0:05:09What's wrong?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11'I'm at the hospital.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Stephen Bates tried to kill himself.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14Right, OK.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Thanks for letting me know, I'll be over there as soon as I can.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20What?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I've got to go - you need to get out.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You what? We're in the middle of nowhere!
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Well, ring a cab.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26I don't have a number.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Oh, Google it. I've got to go, now.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36You need to tell him about us and about the baby.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42And you need to decide what future you want.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Hey.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25He got hold of a ballpoint pen, tried to do his wrists.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Is he all right?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32No-one'll talk to me.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34No-one'll tell me anything.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Looks like he was trying to take the easy way out, don't it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46That's what they'll say, isn't it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50They'll say that in the papers.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Still think he didn't do it?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Admit it doesn't exactly scream innocence.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14But right now the entire country thinks he's a child-killer.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15How do you think that feels?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Pretty terrible.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Yeah, especially if it's not true.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Thought you'd been warned off.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Cornish told me he'd told you to go home.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Yeah. I have.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Helen, people's careers can get ruined by stuff like this.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Is she really worth it? Linda?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55'You have two new messages and five saved messages.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58'Helen, it's Jenny. Have you spoken to Paul yet? Ring me back.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00'Bye.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02'Hey, Hels, I'm just heading into town,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04'why don't you meet me in the pub in a bit?'
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Paul, we need to talk.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Paul, I've got to tell you something. Paul...I...
0:08:26 > 0:08:30I really messed up, Paul, and, er...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35..I really hope this baby's yours, but...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Look who it is - Linda Bates's girlfriend.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Fucking rug-muncher. Waiting for you at home, is she? The murdering bitch.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19All right, lads. Shut your mouth!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Eh! You know I'm a policewoman, right?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23We don't give a shit. We knew Abi and we knew Poppy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26All right, this is intimidation, so if you don't get out of my way, now, I'm...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50SHE SIGHS
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Helen Weeks!
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Phil! Wha...
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Paul asked me to come.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09What? I thought you hated the countryside.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Oh, not the countryside as such, just everyone in it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And how often do you find out that one of your best friends
0:10:16 > 0:10:19is having a...cause for a celebration?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I demand Champagne immediately,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24or, er, failing that, several pints of strong Continental lager.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Shall we?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I'd love to.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Hey!
0:10:29 > 0:10:31What is this place?
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Hell on Earth.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39So, I popped in to see the coroner and I saw the body.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41How did you do that?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44What can I say, the guy must've liked me, I have a certain charm.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47TV: '..reporting from outside the East Derbyshire Hospital where
0:10:47 > 0:10:50'we've been informed Stephen Bates has been admitted. Police...'
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Guilt. '..refuse to comment on why...'
0:10:52 > 0:10:54He tried to top himself, couldn't live with it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Looks like they've got their man.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58So, how is the body?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Not a lot left of her, to be honest -
0:11:00 > 0:11:03most of the skin had been removed by insect invasion.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Tell me about the report.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Hello! Looks like I have an admirer.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Phillip!
0:11:10 > 0:11:11What?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Phil! Eyes on us! Front and centre.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Tell us about the PM report. Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17What about time of death?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Three weeks, give or take.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23And this is where our creepy crawlies come in.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Three different types of insect were found in the remains.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Yes, I know, but, er...we're all just insect feed in the end.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Oh, cheery!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Right, well, er, time for a tinkle.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Phil. Phillip! No!
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Oh, ye of little faith.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57PHIL SNIFFS PAUL LAUGHS
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Hi, Dad, Syd, this is Phil. Phil, this is Dad and Syd.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Oh, my God, you've got a gay dad. How fantastic.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Hiya.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Come in. Hi. Hey, Syd.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you. Hello.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Phil, great to see you.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Oh, cheers.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44There you go. There you go.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Ah, nice and cool.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Piercings. You guys have piercings.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I could never have piercings - scared of the pain.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's the pain that enhances the pleasure,
0:12:54 > 0:12:56if you have it in the right place.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Interesting job you got.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Oh, yeah, hanging out with dead people all day.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Yes, well, it pays very well but the conversation's often lacking.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's amazing what they can do now, with all this tech.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I suppose you got to be smart these days to be a criminal.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15You just need a detective with a massive ego who's happy to bang up the wrong person.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18Cheers, everyone.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24It's been a long day.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Oh, come on, the party's just getting started.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh, you'll be fine without me. Have fun.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Night. Night.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Right, let's crack out the poppers!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45THEY CHATTER
0:15:04 > 0:15:06VOICES CHATTER
0:15:12 > 0:15:14THEY TALK
0:15:25 > 0:15:27What do you think's going on?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31I've no idea. But I think it's got something to do with this place.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I mean, who leaves and never comes back? Never?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Her father lives here, her sister visits.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Yeah, yes, the labyrinthine maze that is Helen's psyche.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Oof!
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Bollocks!
0:15:44 > 0:15:47God love the countryside.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54So let's assume she wasn't dead three or four weeks.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56In fact, nothing like four weeks.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02How do you make a body that's actually relatively fresh
0:16:02 > 0:16:05look as though it's been rotting for a while?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well, never mind how - why?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, to falsify the time of death, I imagine,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15but in that case... why burn the body?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Well, I was hoping you'd have an answer.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23Well, it's just a theory, but, er, to open it up.
0:16:25 > 0:16:31I think he burned the body just enough to open it up.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34For what?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38To put the bugs in.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56CLAMOURING
0:17:31 > 0:17:34OK, so, I'm him, I'm the killer, right?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Oh, dear. Hell of a twist, but let's go with it.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42I burn the body, open up the skin, expose the muscles, organs,
0:17:42 > 0:17:43whatever...
0:17:43 > 0:17:48Yeah. Transfer your colony across, wrap it all up in a bag, job done.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Not forgetting to put the fag end in
0:17:49 > 0:17:51with Stephen Bates's DNA all over it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Yes. Wherever you managed to acquire that from.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Maybe I followed him, watched him drop it in the gutter.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58There you go, love. Thanks, love.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Possibly.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Right, so, where does he get them all from?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05All these flies, maggots, different kinds of beetles.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Internet?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08I've checked his history.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Oh... Dark web? Bitcoin?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Normal people don't know how to use that. I do.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14You're not normal.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16HORN HOOTS
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Thought it was you.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Gavin.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24This is, er, Phil - he's a colleague of mine from Manchester.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26You bringing the whole force down?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29You know this used to be a nice town, before all this!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Now all we've got are pigs and hacks everywhere.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Ah, he seems like a nice chap!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38You really ought to get us together for dinner some time.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Yeah, but he's right, though, isn't he? What are we doing here?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Well, you're here for Helen.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48And I'm here to escape a large Nigerian man named Reuben
0:18:48 > 0:18:50who seems to think we're in a relationship.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Are we being followed?
0:18:58 > 0:18:59Relax.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17How's Stephen?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Better - he's out of hospital.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25They still won't let me see him, though, or the kids.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28It's killing 'em.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I know.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34They shouldn't have to go through this,
0:19:34 > 0:19:38because it's hard for them to accept this hate towards him.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It's the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Is it...the worst?
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I feel so guilty, Linda, for leaving.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01It's a long time ago.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02I was a coward.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That's shit.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07You had the chance and you got out, and if I...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11God, if I'd've had that same chance I would've done exactly the same.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13I thought you'd hate me.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I was scared to death coming down here, I thought you'd...
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Yes?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Oh!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Sorry for staring.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I'm sorry - we're in the middle of something here, private, so...
0:20:27 > 0:20:32Oh, I just wanted to say, Linda, I know who you are and I understand.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Thank you.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36And if you ever want to talk...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I appreciate it.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Which paper are you from?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I beg your pardon?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Which newspaper?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52All right. Last chance, before I really hurt you. What newspaper?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54The-The Post!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Right. Why don't... We'll pay you - to tell your side of the story.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Why don't you get out of here
0:20:58 > 0:21:01before I shove those stupid glasses up your bony tabloid arse?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Scum.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27"Bony tabloid arse"?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You're a good friend.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39No, I...
0:21:39 > 0:21:40and I never blamed you.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45We were both victims.
0:21:48 > 0:21:49But...
0:21:52 > 0:21:54..it's because of me.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56He got to you through me.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57No.
0:21:58 > 0:22:04We were 13 years old. We were little girls.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55KISS
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Adam knows. It's all going to come out,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and if it isn't me that tells Paul
0:23:20 > 0:23:22it's going to be ten times worse - terminal.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Who told Adam?
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Some prick at work, Mickey.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Well, how does he know? Oh, he's the one who drove me to the hospital.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Jen, I'm going to tell him tonight. No, no, no, no, no.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31No, listen, don't interrupt.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33If it all blows up,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I'm going to need somewhere to stay for a few days.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yeah, of course, but you're going to tear your life apart,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40throw everything away, and he doesn't need to know.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48God, you're gorgeous.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I'm trying to belch.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah, I know, that's when I like you best.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57So, where are you taking me tonight, then?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Thought we'd try this new vegetarian place, Green Tomato.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Oh, right, OK, town famous for its pork and you want to go veggie!
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Shouldn't we invite Phil? I mean,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09isn't it a bit rude to leave him back with your dad and Syd?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11No, it's Phil, he'll be fine.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14He was amazing yesterday, you know.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16He's got a brain the size of a planet.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20So he thinks it's all about the insects, does he?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Yeah, yeah, placed inside the body.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It would require some pretty specialist knowledge,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I mean, let alone where you'd actually acquire them from.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30A layman just wouldn't know that stuff.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Shit.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Pig farms.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36You what?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39The killer wouldn't need to buy the bugs, he could harvest them.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Right, I spent some time on farms growing up.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45What happens when you let an animal corpse decompose?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Flies. They feed on it and they lay their eggs
0:24:47 > 0:24:50and that is when the beetles and the maggots make their appearance.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Oh, shit!
0:24:52 > 0:24:55That's it - the weird farmer, the guy in the bar,
0:24:55 > 0:24:57accusing everyone of stealing his piglets.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Mad Bob. Right, OK, we should go down there.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Well, what about dinner? Oh, I've lost my appetite. Ring Phil.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Ah, pigs!
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I do love pigs, me!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I say pigs, I mean sausages.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Wonderful animals, pigs. They're cleverer than dogs.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27So, er...why don't we have, er, guide pigs?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29We could - easily.
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Sniffer pigs?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33OK, right, OK, we're getting off topic. Can we ask you
0:25:33 > 0:25:37some questions about the piglet that you-you think was stolen?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Don't think. It was. Didn't just disappear into thin air, did it?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Want a description?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Oh, no, I think-I think we know what a pig looks like.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Know what a Saddleback looks like?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Thought not.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53This isn't a big operation.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55And you say it happened overnight, yeah?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well, it was there last time I changed the feed,
0:25:57 > 0:25:58gone the next morning.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You don't have electric fences, anything like that?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Nope. Have I seen you somewhere before?
0:26:04 > 0:26:05Er, yeah, yeah, at the pub -
0:26:05 > 0:26:08you came in accusing Trevor, the landlord.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Could be him, easy, amount of pork he serves,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15and that cook he's got, Shelley, cut-price bloody Shakespeare -
0:26:15 > 0:26:20if he's such a good poet, why's he cooking sausages?
0:26:20 > 0:26:26Yes. What I don't fully understand is that, well, you, er, clearly love
0:26:26 > 0:26:32your pigs, so how do you handle them being, you know, slaughtered?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36Love 'em? They're money!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Somebody steals my pigs, it's like mugging me in the street.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Well, thank you very much.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50We'll let you know if we hear anything.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Why would someone go to all that trouble to implicate Bates?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, so that everyone thinks that Bates is the killer,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04which is exactly what the real killer wants.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07But he can't get away with killing a second time,
0:27:07 > 0:27:08not with Bates in custody.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11So what are you saying? You think Poppy's still alive?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I think she might be, yeah. I think it's possible.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25That was your lovely friend.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Gavin.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27Shall we follow him?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29On what grounds? Ah, fun.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31He's been acting suspicious -
0:27:31 > 0:27:33he was parked up by the woods the other night.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Eh, what? Are we actually doing this, guys? What if he sees us?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Oh, we will claim coincidence.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Mm-hm. Come on.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43All right! Fine!
0:27:43 > 0:27:45There he is.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Isn't this fun?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Yeah, that's him!
0:28:10 > 0:28:11What the hell is he doing?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Only one way to find out.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Hey, listen, just remember you're pregnant,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19all right, so if it kicks off, leave it to us.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34All right, so now what?
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Right, we follow him inside,
0:28:35 > 0:28:38but one of us goes round the side in case he bolts. I'll go.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Wait here.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00Shit!
0:29:05 > 0:29:08GROANING
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I've got him! I've got him!
0:29:14 > 0:29:16OK, OK...
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Look, it was just a bit of robbing.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22They're insured.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's the Poppy and Abi show, isn't it?
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Everyone's making a nice bit of coin out of it.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Oh, you should be ashamed of yourself.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Yeah, well, thanks for that, school bully.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Helen! Helen!
0:29:36 > 0:29:39You, you don't know anything about me, or anything about my life
0:29:39 > 0:29:42back then, so why don't you just shut your stupid trap?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I've got to go back up to Manchester.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I was working on.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Can you stay tonight and go back tomorrow morning?
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Maybe we could have dinner tonight together.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Is everything all right?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Hey, what's wrong?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Look, Helen, whatever it is, just spit it out.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Just don't think I'm ready to be a mother.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Y'know, coming back here and seeing all this pain and anguish,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32it's like people make themselves vulnerable just by having kids,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34just by loving something that much.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39What's the alternative? Hey? Close your heart to risk never being hurt?
0:31:39 > 0:31:40I need the loo.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41You've just been!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Yeah, but I've got a baby pressing down on my bladder!
0:31:53 > 0:31:54DOOR OPENS
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I saw your picture in the paper.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Right.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03You're a friend of Linda Bates.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06And?
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Can we talk?
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Yeah. I'm coming out.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24This is a bit of a nightmare, actually,
0:32:24 > 0:32:25you being a friend of Steve's wife,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28but I'm hoping you'll help me.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Help you?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Prove he didn't kill anyone.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Why do you think he didn't kill anyone?
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Because...
0:32:45 > 0:32:48..that night everyone reckons he took Abigail Toms,
0:32:48 > 0:32:49he was with me.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52It was me he was meeting in that pub.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55So you, you and Steve, you were together?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Yeah.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01We had to meet in places a bit out the way.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03So you have an alibi for him?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Well, sort of.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08He didn't have time to get back to Polesford and kill someone.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Well, why not go to the police?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13I'm only 16.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20How long have you been seeing each other?
0:33:23 > 0:33:27We didn't do anything, you know, sexual, not until my birthday.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32He wouldn't. We kissed, but he didn't...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34OK, there's no...no need to get upset.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38I'm shitting myself, cos you know what they'll say,
0:33:38 > 0:33:42they'll say, "Well, there you are, then, he was into young girls,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45"it's proof, he did it with Abigail and Poppy as well,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48"but he killed them - you could've been next,"
0:33:48 > 0:33:50but that's crap, he's not like that.
0:33:50 > 0:33:58OK, I understand, but you know we need to take this to the police?
0:33:58 > 0:33:59What did you say your name was again?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Ro...Rory Harcross.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Well, Aurora.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Blame my parents.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Harcross?
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Oh, God, I need some air. I'm pregnant. I'm sorry.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51Argh!
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You learn some respect.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Don't be scared. He's fine.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28..always meet outside of Polesford...
0:35:28 > 0:35:29..the night Abi was taken...
0:35:29 > 0:35:31You don't believe her, do you?
0:35:31 > 0:35:32No. I don't.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36Why? Because it means you're wrong? Why would she lie?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38What's she got to gain?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41She's got text after text proving the affair.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43She gives Bates a rock-solid alibi
0:35:43 > 0:35:45for the time you've got him murdering Abigail Toms.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48You're determined to prove me wrong, aren't you?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Oh, my God.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52It's not about you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Why don't you see what's staring you straight in the face?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58You will not be the star of this investigation
0:35:58 > 0:36:00if you convict an innocent man.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05Would you rather she take her story straight to the papers?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Fine. I'll take it once round the block.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Ah, by the way, your mate Linda's here.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Would you like to be the one to tell her?
0:36:21 > 0:36:26She's lying. Polesford's full of little bitches like that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27I don't think so.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Oh, and you'd know, would you?
0:36:30 > 0:36:34I know it can't be easy to hear, but it can't hurt to have an alibi.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Can't hurt?
0:36:39 > 0:36:43How would you feel if some little slut came along
0:36:43 > 0:36:46saying she was screwing your Paul, saying she loved him?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48I would be upset.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52But given these particular circumstances,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55I would rather he was a shagger than a killer.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01What am I going to tell the kids?
0:37:01 > 0:37:02I don't know.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04How can we tell Charli I know her stepdad's innocent
0:37:04 > 0:37:07cos he was with a girl younger than she is?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11What's she like? Is she pretty?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15She's young.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Hm. Firm tits? Slim waist?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Know your enemy.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28We learned that a long time ago, didn't we?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Who is she?
0:37:36 > 0:37:41Helen, please tell me, what's her name?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49You don't want to know.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03I s'pose that's why I never came forward earlier,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05because I knew they wouldn't believe me.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09They'll investigate. I'll make sure they do.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16I knew her. Abi.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Went out together a few times.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Bonded when we found out we had matching rose tats.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27Tit tats, she called 'em, because they were...
0:38:27 > 0:38:30you know...there.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36I can't believe she's dead.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Thanks, anyway.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Gosh...
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Aurora?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Who, erm, who lives with you in that house?
0:38:59 > 0:39:00My-my dad - why?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Do you ever see your grandad?
0:39:06 > 0:39:10He lives in Hull, big deal on the council over there. Why?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13I used to know him.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16Bye.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Are you going to tell me what this is all about? No.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Oh, for God's sake, Helen!
0:39:36 > 0:39:40You've been weird ever since we came down here. There's something.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41I know there's something.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43I don't want to discuss it.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46We're having a child together, Helen, in case you'd forgotten -
0:39:46 > 0:39:50I think that bonds us pretty tightly, don't you, so if there's
0:39:50 > 0:39:53any secrets, if there's something that you're not telling me...
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Helen!
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Helen! Helen!
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Helen!
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Helen, Helen, stop! STOP!
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I was abused. Raped. Is that what you want to hear?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I was 13 years old and his name was Peter Harcross.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Harcross?
0:40:15 > 0:40:16Yeah, him.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19He was a friend of my dad's and my dad was a single father
0:40:19 > 0:40:21and my mum had died and my dad didn't know how to cope
0:40:21 > 0:40:23and Peter pretended to be a helping hand
0:40:23 > 0:40:26and he knew that my dad was gay, and he used that against me.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29He said if I ever told anyone he would ruin him -
0:40:29 > 0:40:31he would make sure that everyone knew, and he was a councillor
0:40:31 > 0:40:34and my dad was still in the closet back then.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Hey! And it... You know, it wasn't just me.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43It was Linda as well. He got to her through me.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Helen, come here!
0:40:45 > 0:40:46No.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52He wanted Jenny. I know he did.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54He would turn up at the house
0:40:54 > 0:40:57and he would pretend to be surprised that my dad wasn't in.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00He would help himself to a beer and he would sit down next to me
0:41:00 > 0:41:04and he would rub my leg and-and I was so shit scared
0:41:04 > 0:41:07that she would be next and I swore, I swore that I would never...
0:41:07 > 0:41:11I'd never let him get to her and he said...he said that
0:41:11 > 0:41:14I had to keep loving him or he'd try someone else,
0:41:14 > 0:41:16and I knew he meant her.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19That's how he would describe it.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21"Loving him."
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Like-like loving means lying still like you're dead
0:41:26 > 0:41:30and throwing your guts up after then running home
0:41:30 > 0:41:33so fast you can't feel your legs any more.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37And Paula...
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Paula...
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Paula calls me a bully.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47I was looking after them.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I was a bitch to her and Jenny because I was trying to protect them.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Like I hadn't with Linda.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05And it's ruined our lives, you know,
0:42:05 > 0:42:11because it...it never leaves you, it never leaves you, not really,
0:42:11 > 0:42:17it's fucking in here... Every relationship,
0:42:17 > 0:42:21every fucking relationship I have ever had, I have...
0:42:21 > 0:42:25I have fucked up and it's... it's him that's to blame...
0:42:25 > 0:42:27the filthy fucking bastard.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Hey, hey, no.
0:42:29 > 0:42:30No.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Helen, Helen, Helen, look at me, look at me.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43Hey, you haven't fucked up every relationship, OK?
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You've got me. You've still got me.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Not for long.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58What do you mean?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02What're you saying, Helen?
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I slept with someone.
0:43:09 > 0:43:10Adam Perrin.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14And-and it didn't mean anything much, it was just screwing, but...
0:43:14 > 0:43:15Fuck!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18And don't ask me for reasons, because I've got none.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21He was there and I fancied him and I knew it would mess everything up
0:43:21 > 0:43:23but I didn't stop myself
0:43:23 > 0:43:26because I couldn't, like I have never been able to.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32The baby...
0:43:34 > 0:43:35Tell me it's not his.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38Helen, tell me.
0:43:39 > 0:43:40I don't know.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Oh, shit!
0:43:43 > 0:43:48I really don't. It could be his, Paul, or it could be yours.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52How could you do this to me? How could you?
0:43:52 > 0:43:56Why? Why would you do this to me?
0:43:57 > 0:44:02Because it's who I am and I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Adam Perrin?
0:44:10 > 0:44:11I'm sorry.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I've got to go back to Manchester.
0:44:16 > 0:44:17No, Paul...
0:44:17 > 0:44:19You don't have any say any more. No, Paul, Paul, please!
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Just leave me alone!
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Please...just...stay...
0:44:25 > 0:44:28SHE SOBS
0:45:18 > 0:45:21'Tit tats, she called them cos they were...'
0:45:21 > 0:45:23you know...
0:45:23 > 0:45:25there.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35RINGING
0:45:43 > 0:45:44RINGING
0:45:47 > 0:45:49What!
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Paul, Paul, I know...
0:45:51 > 0:45:52I know who killed Abigail Toms.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55It's Trevor. Trevor Hare. I'll meet you at the pub.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06'Lovely girl, that Abigail.'
0:46:06 > 0:46:10She had one of them stupid tattoos they all have...huge rose.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12'That's like goody two shoes round here.'
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Where's Trevor?
0:46:25 > 0:46:26Where is he? I don't know!
0:46:26 > 0:46:28You can't go up there!
0:46:28 > 0:46:29I'm police! You can't!
0:46:53 > 0:46:54Helen!
0:47:01 > 0:47:03Right, he's heading for the lower villages,
0:47:03 > 0:47:06and there's only one road there, so I think we could catch him.
0:47:07 > 0:47:11Trevor knew about Abigail's tattoo.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15It's the same as Rory's. They both had that rose in private places.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Plus, he's ex-police so he knows all about DNA
0:47:18 > 0:47:19and time of death scenarios.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21And he's had all the coppers in his pub
0:47:21 > 0:47:23so he's had the inside track on everything.
0:47:23 > 0:47:25Hiding in plain sight.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27More than that - flaunting it.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30Telling people he used to give Abigail and Poppy lifts in his car,
0:47:30 > 0:47:31and it explains the fag end, too.
0:47:31 > 0:47:33From the beer garden? He knew Bates.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36He knew exactly what he was up to with Rory,
0:47:36 > 0:47:37and knew he could set him up.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42There he is.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47I love you.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09I know this road, I know where he's going.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11To the old pumping station.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Come on, it's this way.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58You OK?
0:48:58 > 0:48:59Yeah, it's not far.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03Why the hell didn't they search this place when they first came?
0:49:03 > 0:49:05Probably under five foot of water.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31Helen, be careful.
0:49:45 > 0:49:46Oh, God.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Trevor!
0:49:48 > 0:49:49Stop!
0:49:52 > 0:49:54You shouldn't've come here.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57You've put me in a terrible position.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Because now there aren't many options.
0:49:59 > 0:50:03You don't want to kill her, Trevor. Kill her?
0:50:03 > 0:50:04I love her.
0:50:07 > 0:50:10You let us go or I will kill her.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15You try and stop me and I will kill you.
0:50:15 > 0:50:19Where are you going to go? Live on a little island? It's over.
0:50:19 > 0:50:20It's all over, Trevor.
0:50:20 > 0:50:23No, it's not.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38You OK?
0:51:01 > 0:51:02Watch out!
0:51:02 > 0:51:04KNIFE PUNCTURES HIM
0:51:15 > 0:51:17HE GASPS
0:51:28 > 0:51:29COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING
0:51:48 > 0:51:50CLAMOURING
0:51:50 > 0:51:55THEY SHOUT OUT QUESTIONS
0:52:03 > 0:52:04It's my fault.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07No! No, no, no, it isn't.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08He was my friend, that...
0:52:11 > 0:52:13My little girl.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17My little girl.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22I'm so sorry.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25I'm so, sorry.
0:52:27 > 0:52:29SHE SOBS
0:53:29 > 0:53:30Yeah? One sec...
0:53:32 > 0:53:34You're not supposed to be here
0:53:34 > 0:53:36until after the Trevor Hare investigation.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Yeah, I'm not here for that.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40I'm here for something else.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53I want to report a historic case of child abuse.
0:53:53 > 0:53:55Against who?
0:53:55 > 0:53:56Me.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04How historic?
0:54:04 > 0:54:0520-odd years ago.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07And the perpetrator?
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Peter Harcross.
0:54:10 > 0:54:15He was a local councillor in my hometown, works in Hull now,
0:54:15 > 0:54:16few years off retirement.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18Local government?
0:54:18 > 0:54:19Mm-hm.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25This'll get attention. I want him done for it.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32I'm so sorry you've had to live with this.
0:54:36 > 0:54:37You've seen me...
0:54:39 > 0:54:42..drug dealers, criminals, I can stand up to them...
0:54:45 > 0:54:47..but...
0:54:49 > 0:54:50..that man...
0:55:33 > 0:55:36Paul, please...please come home.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Let's-let's at least try?
0:55:39 > 0:55:42Do you know, Helen, right now I can't even look at you.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28Mikey, I've got a problem.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30They're going to kill us! They'll kill us all!
0:56:30 > 0:56:32Right, we're going to find who did it and hit back.
0:56:32 > 0:56:33The business carries on as usual.
0:56:34 > 0:56:39Every time he looks at me it's like I've got "whore" written across my forehead.
0:56:39 > 0:56:40You want a relationship with a woman
0:56:40 > 0:56:43who doesn't even know who the father is? Well, I love you.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Stay away from Frank Linnell.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48I've got a bit of a reputation. Some people see me a certain way.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49How much blood is there?
0:56:49 > 0:56:51There can't be...a problem.
