0:00:09 > 0:00:12SIREN BLARES
0:00:12 > 0:00:13CHATTER
0:00:44 > 0:00:45- What is it?- I don't know, pet,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48but if that thing's going off, it's not good.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52SIREN CONTINUES BLARING
0:01:05 > 0:01:06It's your da.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10I'm sorry, Sam.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14SHE SOBS
0:01:18 > 0:01:19What happened?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30PHONE RINGS
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Hello.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44About turn, we've got a body underground at Burnsend Colliery.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- Ah, great.- You can give us the benefit of your mining experience.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Don't start, sir. Don't start with all of that.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Morning, George. - Morning.- Can I have a word?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59One minute.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Did you get the paperwork about the superintendent's position?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Yes, I did. I don't think it's for me, sir.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05What isn't, George? Promotion.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Increased responsibility? Advancement?- Traffic.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I spent 15 years in traffic.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16There comes a time when it is unseemly for senior officers
0:02:16 > 0:02:19to still be rocking the boat, ignoring orders,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23getting themselves shot, you know the sort of thing.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Are you saying I'm an embarrassment, sir?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm saying I'd hate to see you embarrass yourself.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Who would? You or ACC Hale?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Why the sudden interest in my career?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36No idea what you're referring to, George.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You're not the organ grinder, is my point, sir.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'm going to ignore that inference.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I'd appreciate you giving it further and proper consideration.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52What was all that about?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55None of your business.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- You grew up somewhere like this, didn't you?- Yep, just like it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10They're all the same, these pit villages - miserable.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Well, you should be right at home this morning, then.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Pack it in, sir, will you?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Back amongst your own. "In the blood", as they say.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Look, just cos me dad was a miner doesn't mean that I'm one.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I got out. There's no way I was going to work down pit.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I rejected all of that. I've made my own way in the world.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I've forged my own path, all right?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You haven't exactly gone very far, have you, son?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Far enough.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52You'll want to get back to work, Billy?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56You're just loving this, aren't you? Any excuse to shut the place.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Are you the police?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Detective Chief Inspector Gently. This is Detective Sergeant Bacchus.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Dennis Morden, general manager. - For the time being, anyways.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Howay Billy, man, come on. Now's not the time.
0:04:08 > 0:04:09There's a fella lying dead.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Aye, I know that. Our union rep. Protector of our interests.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Some'd say that's suspicious, like, in the current circumstances.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Burnsend Pit is under consideration for possible closure, Mr Gently.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21The dead man, Arthur Hawkes, was the shop steward.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23What makes you think this wasn't an accident?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26He wasn't meant to be down there, not since Friday.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- We'll need to see the body.- Peter?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32This is Peter Turner. He and his son Joe found the body.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- He'll take you down.- Mr Turner.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36All right. Right, come on, I'll get you kitted up.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- You the first one to the body? - Well, no.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Someone shouted, and me and Joe went over and seen it was Arthur, like.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Where is Joe? - The lad's took it pretty bad.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55What was Arthur's job down the pit?
0:04:55 > 0:04:59He was a roof man. It was his job to help advance the roadways,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02put up girders, secure the roof, that sort of thing.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05He's been lying there a couple of days. How come nobody missed him?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I have no idea. Maybe you should ask his family.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11He has a son, Sam, who works under me here as a section manager,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13and a daughter, Hannah.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Right, your titfa goes on here like that, OK?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20That comes up over your shoulder, clip's round.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22That goes on the front like that.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'll leave you in Peter's capable hands.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I need to inform head office of events.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Now this...threads through there onto your belt, OK?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- What is it?- This is your life-saver.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- This is your self-rescuer, right? It's for gas.- Gas?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Yeah. Just like the war, John.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Yeah, well, some of us barely remember the war, sir.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Aye, that's what's wrong with you lot these days.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44You dunno when you're well off.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45You're a veteran?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Aye. I was in First Army till '43.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49- Yourself?- I was in the Eighth.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Ah, you had some canny hard fighting, you lads, eh?
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Didn't we all, mate?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Right now, I brought this for a demonstration.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Now bite down on the mouthpiece.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01You're joking, aren't you? I dunno where that's been.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Aye, right, cos hygiene's important
0:06:03 > 0:06:06when you're choking to death(!) Howay.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07HE LAUGHS
0:06:07 > 0:06:10And that's your nose clip, goes on here.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Right, now breathe normal.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- MUMBLES:- I am breathing normal.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15BOTH LAUGH
0:06:16 > 0:06:19HE MUMBLES
0:06:24 > 0:06:27RUMBLING
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It's a bit noisy, like.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33This is where you get your tokens, OK?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36There's two tokens.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39One for the way down and one for the way up.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42That's how you account for who's underground.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I can see why they made you chief inspector.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Right. Round token.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48- Thanks, John.- Thank you.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Lights on.- Light your lamps.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15How far down do we go?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- This is what they call a deep mine, about 800 foot.- 800 foot!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Aye, it's not so bad.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Some of the ones down Yorkshire, they're 1,000 feet.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26HE MUTTERS
0:07:26 > 0:07:28You OK doing this?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Yeah, course. Yeah, no. Yeah, I'm fine.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Why wouldn't I be?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Was Arthur a good mate of yours?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39We worked together most of our lives.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41That's not what I asked.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44We got on well enough. He was good with the lads, you know.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46He was a good shop steward.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Can you think of anybody who might have had it in for him?
0:07:51 > 0:07:52That's your job, is it not?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Is it much farther?
0:07:58 > 0:08:02So Joe found the body and called you over, yeah?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Well, no. Some others spotted it first
0:08:04 > 0:08:07and when Joe seen who it was, well, Arthur was training him
0:08:07 > 0:08:09up to be a union rep, so they were quite close, like.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13JOE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- You all right, John? - Yeah.- You sure?- Yeah, I'm fine.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Hey. Hey, it says collapsed seam here.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32See that? Collapsed seam. Does that happen a lot?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Nobody goes in there now.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37But, well, Joe nearly got killed in there a while back.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- What happened?- Well, him and Arthur got caught in a roof fall.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45And Joe got buried and Arthur went in and pulled him out.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So, Arthur saved your son's life.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49So they say.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I wasn't there myself.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Right now, this here's the face line in here.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59He's lying up in there a bit.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Please tell me we're not going in there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Do you want to stay here?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06HE SIGHS
0:09:06 > 0:09:08No, it's fine. Let's go.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09You all right?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I'll not leave you.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Right, here we go. Mind your heads.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23You might want to cover your noses cos it stinks a bit.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Has anybody touched anything?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Joe might have shifted some of it when he first seen him.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Not wearing his helmet.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48We need to get the scene-of-crime boys down here.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50It looks like his skull's been fractured.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52There's a massive indentation.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54What would he be back here for anyway?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Nobody normally goes into the waste.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57We just let that collapse behind us
0:09:57 > 0:09:59when the coalface moves forward, like.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- What? This isn't supported? - Aye.- This is ridiculous.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09There's some bruising on his neck, just here.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14It looks like somebody's dragged him in here,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18expecting the roof to collapse and bury him and...
0:10:18 > 0:10:21just taken his token, pop it in the tin upstairs.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24As far as anybody's concerned, Arthur Hawkes has vanished.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- What do you think?- Maybe.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- CREAKING - Quick, quick, howay!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Move! Move!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Are you all right? Are you going to be all right? What happened?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- I'm fine. I'm fine. Just give me a minute.- You're bleeding, sir.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- I think we should go, don't you? - Can you walk?- Yes. Yes.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Here. Come on. Come on.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Mind your heads.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01How is he? Will he live?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Eurgh!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I haven't asked you your name.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08Janet.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Hello, Janet. I'm John.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It's a nasty cut.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15I've had worse.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So I see. How did you get your old wound?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I got shot.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23That was nice of them.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Do you get much pain from it?- No.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28You've probably been favouring the other leg,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- that's why you haven't noticed it. - There's nothing wrong with my leg.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Nearly there.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36I'm in your hands.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Do you want me to hold yours?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- No, thank you, John.- All right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- You've got wonderful hands, Janet, very dextrous.- How's the patient?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Why is the pit up for closure, Mr Morden?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53No-one has said it is to close. It hasn't been decided.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It'll be announced tomorrow at a meeting.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Calm down. We're not the NUM.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59We're all under pressure here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Productivity at Burnsend is way down.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04The coal is running out.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Was Arthur Hawkes fighting these plans?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Tooth and nail.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12So you would have had the odd dispute with him?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I work here the same as them, Mr Gently.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Relations were pretty cordial.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- There we go, pet, all done. - Thank you.- Let me get you a bandage.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23I'd like a list of all the men
0:12:23 > 0:12:26who were on the same shift as Arthur on that night.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- I'll get it to you as soon as I can. - Thank you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31There we are.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33HE INHALES DEEPLY Good as new.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Anybody else touched this?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Arthur will still have his key. I had to get the master.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50A couple of quid.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51A phone number.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57The Mermaid, Newcastle. Do you know it?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Can't say I do.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02Guv.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Aye-aye.- More than a couple of quid that, isn't it? What do you reckon?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Three or four hundred. - What does he earn here?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14£30 a week or so.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17That's three months' wages thereabout.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18I'd kill a man for that amount.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26CHILDREN LAUGHING
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Hannah, it's the police.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- DCI Gently. This is DS Bacchus. - Nice to see you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57We're very sorry about your father.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Please...take a seat.- Thank you.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06So, is it murder, like everybody's been saying?
0:14:06 > 0:14:08I'm afraid so, yes.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I don't understand why anybody would do this.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18When did either of you see your father last?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Couple of days ago, Friday.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22We went to work together.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Did you wonder where he was at the weekend,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- why he didn't come back? - Nah, not really.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30He was never here much at weekends...not lately.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Why's that?- He'd rather be in Newcastle, getting pissed.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Don't start, Sam Hawkes.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Dad's dead. Have some respect.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Since our ma died, he's not been...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45He took it hard.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50- How did she die?- TB finally finished her off about six months back.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I'm sorry to hear that.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Was a relief by the end.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Nothing worse than watching someone die a little bit more every day
0:14:57 > 0:14:59and being able to do nothing about it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01SHE SOBS
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Come on. It'll do you no good getting upset.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Aye, that certainly seems to be working for you, doesn't it?
0:15:12 > 0:15:16We found a book of matches amongst your father's possessions
0:15:16 > 0:15:20from the Mermaid pub in Newcastle. Did he go there regularly?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I wouldn't know. We never got invited with him.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25We found £300 in his locker.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Any idea how he came across that?
0:15:27 > 0:15:30No. If he had that sort of money, we never saw any sign of it.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31KNOCK ON DOOR
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- All right?- Oh, Joe.- Hiya.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Are you the police?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45DCI Gently.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Joe Turner. - Are you Peter Turner's son?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- You found Arthur, yes? - That's right.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59SHE SOBS Come on. Come on.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Calm down, pet
0:16:01 > 0:16:04HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:16:11 > 0:16:15That was him on the Jarrow March, in 1936.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16He was only 19.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19He was in his element, stirring it up.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Aye. Bit of a troublemaker, was he?
0:16:21 > 0:16:23My dad was a good man.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27He fought for what he believed in and people believed in him.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Burnsend Pit has been at the heart of this community for as long as any
0:16:31 > 0:16:32of us can remember.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Most of yous are the latest of generations to work it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Now I came here as a Bevan Boy in '43
0:16:38 > 0:16:41and I stayed here because I love it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's home and you are all family.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49You're brothers, comrades, so we must all stick together.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Aye, and strike together, afore it's too late.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54A strike just plays into the bastards' hands, Billy.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Not if the union brings out every other pit with us.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Let's see what that does for productivity!
0:16:59 > 0:17:03ALL: Strike! Strike!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09All right! Calm down, Panda.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12When I want your opinion, I'll give you it, eh?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14LAUGHTER
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Aye, Burnsend is on a list of possible closures,
0:17:17 > 0:17:20but I'll tell you what, it's right at the bottom of it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I've had undertakings and reassurances.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Burnsend's going to be all right,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28as long as we don't mess that up for ourselves,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31so no more talk of strikes, Billy.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Our fate is in our own hands, I believe that,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37and you can believe me in that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40So, let's just keep doing what we do best,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42bringing the dirty black stuff up, eh?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Like Burnsend men have always done
0:17:44 > 0:17:47cos there's no-one better at doing it, right?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49APPLAUSE
0:17:54 > 0:17:58He cared about everybody in this community, Mr Gently.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Always put them first.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Before his own family even. - Sam, haway, man.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07This is my house now, Joe, not yours, not yet.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10I'll not have you telling me what I can and can't say in it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I'm going for a walk.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Don't be daft.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Come with me?- Hannah. Hannah.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29So you didn't approve of your father's weekends or his drinking?
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Everyone likes a drink. Who doesn't, right?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37But when my ma got ill he should've been here...
0:18:37 > 0:18:38and he wasn't.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It broke her heart.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43How did that make you feel?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I'm sorry. What's this got to do with owt?
0:18:48 > 0:18:51So I didn't get on with him about stuff.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54How did your dad feel about you training to become management?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I know what it's like, I really do. You know, in places like this.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Any ambition or wanting to change, you know, do something different,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03it's like joining the enemy, isn't it?
0:19:03 > 0:19:04He was fine about it.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Are we done?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Blimey, no love lost between father and son.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Sam couldn't blame his mother for dying, he chose somebody else.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- All right?- Yes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Is it giving you gyp?- No. I'm fine.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I tell you what, Sam deciding to aim for a shirt and tie,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32that wouldn't have sat well, I don't care what he says.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34It's not a crime, being a manager, you know.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37You're joking, aren't you? Around here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Working class lad with ideas above his station -
0:19:39 > 0:19:45- it's worse than being a poof. - Or a copper?- Aye. Or a copper, yeah.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Why not aim for a bit of ambition? Take responsibility?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Or am I asking the wrong sergeant? - What do you mean by that?
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Well, how long has it been now?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- I don't know, a couple of years maybe.- Seven.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00All right, seven. What difference does it make?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Are you still happy being a sergeant? No thoughts of promotion?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Or are you scared of the inspector's exam?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09No, I'm not scared. I'm not scared, all right? I'm just...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Let's not talk about it.- John...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16..will you drive?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- You all right?- Yes.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Maybe you should get that looked at again?
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- You just want an excuse to see nurse Janet again.- Maybe.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Doesn't anybody knock any more?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Sorry, sir. The door was open.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44That looks really nasty.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Give over, his legs aren't that bad. Your legs aren't that bad, sir.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I'm serious. I've seen you.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- You can hardly walk.- Well?- This is the list that you asked for, sir.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55All of the men that were working underground on the day
0:20:55 > 0:20:57of Arthur Hawkes's last shift - there's 40 names.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That narrows it down, don't it?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I thought if we could find out where the men were working,
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- in relation to Arthur's body. - Good idea.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05And I've made up a map as well
0:21:05 > 0:21:08with all of the relative positions and distances.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I've got some crayons here if you need them.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15All right. Where do you keep them, next to your Action Man?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- You could try just telling me. - Oh, right...
0:21:17 > 0:21:20So there were six men near where he was last seen working -
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Peter Turner and his son Joe, Sam Hawkes, Billy Shearer, Panda Whelan,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27and the manager Dennis Morden was also down the pit on one
0:21:27 > 0:21:31of his monthly inspections, so his whereabouts are unconfirmed.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Well done, Rachel. Good work. - Thank you, sir.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37Give her that phone number we found in Arthur Hawkes' locker.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And check these names on your list,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42see if any of them have got a record. Arthur Hawkes as well.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- I could just ring this, if you like? - Oh, you were doing so well.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Let me explain, right?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50If you call that number,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52then they'll know who you are, won't they?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54But you don't know who the person is on the other end,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58whether they're lying. They could be the killer, couldn't they?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00And you just warned them that we're coming.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04So, name and address, please, pet. All right?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06All right? We don't need a diagram.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14WOMAN SOBBING
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's all right, pet.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52What's going on? Why have you brought me in?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56You, Arthur Hawkes and Panda Whelan were arrested in the Mermaid Bar
0:22:56 > 0:23:00in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago for fighting,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03and you spent the whole night in the cells. Sit down.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Aye, look man. That was something of nothing. We were all pissed.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09You know what it's like. We got into gear with some lads.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Who were these lads?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Locals. That's why we got nicked and they didn't.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Our faces didn't fit. Nowt to it, like I said.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I cannot remember nowt about it, man.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Take a seat there, will you?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27You can't remember nowt?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30No. I was 15 pints to the good, man.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37Here you are. So, what were you doing in Newcastle?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Just having a drink.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43That's a long way for a pint, innit, that? Did you go often?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Now and then. - You, Billy and Arthur?- Aye.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Were you good friends?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51We was.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52I mean, as in...
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- ..Arthur's dead now - poor bugger. - Yeah...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Tell us about this fight.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Aye... I had to dive between them, like a pair of dogs.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12- Dive between who?- Billy and Arthur. They're a right pair when roused.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Yeah... Yeah, Billy said.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Give us a second, will you?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I've got a witness who says you were fighting with Arthur Hawkes,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42had to be separated.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44- That's shite. They're lying. - It's Panda Whelan.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Why were you in Newcastle?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The dogs. Greyhounds, we own a couple.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- You and Arthur?- Aye, and Panda.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Arthur's been at it for years.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00He's got an eye for a winner.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03We went in with him, just for the craic, like.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Bit of fun, make a few quid here and there.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Arthur had £300 on him when he died.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11We'd had a good win that weekend. We all made a packet.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14It's the sort of money that'd get a man killed, that.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23I wasn't fighting with Arthur about dogs or money.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Right, I'll tell you, but I know what you're going to think.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I've got this pal, works in a pit in Leeds
0:25:43 > 0:25:46and he'd heard Arthur had got a job landed there,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49said Dennis Morden had put a word in for him,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51so I asked Arthur if it was true.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- And what did he say? - Not a lot. Just bloody went for us,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56which told me all I needed to know.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Why would Arthur move to a another job
0:25:59 > 0:26:03if he knew that Burnsend was going to stay open?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05So he told all of us.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06But we lost the battle last year,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Mr Gently, when Harold Wilson betrayed the miners
0:26:09 > 0:26:13and chose nuclear power for that new power station at Hartlepool.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16You think Arthur already knew about the pit closing,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17despite saying different?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Why would the captain be jumping ship if it wasn't sinking?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23And if it was true, Morden must have told him
0:26:23 > 0:26:25and offered to sort him out.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27You scratch my back...
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Want to take a bet on the outcome of that meeting tomorrow?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Do you think that Arthur betrayed his comrades?
0:26:34 > 0:26:38- Did you mention that to anybody else?- Only Panda.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You're a right double act, you two, aren't you?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I look after him, he looks after me.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45So you were fighting with Arthur
0:26:45 > 0:26:47and two weeks later he's dead.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- See! I knew where you're going with it.- Well...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I didn't kill him.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I's a gobshite, Mr Gently,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I'll admit that, but look at the size of us.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- I wouldn't know where to start killing a man.- What about Panda?
0:27:01 > 0:27:02I know nowt about it.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06Am I under arrest?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10If so, I'll have a lawyer. If not, I'm going home.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22The thing about these union types is they're brothers this
0:27:22 > 0:27:26and comrades that, big speeches and the rallying cries.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29The bottom line, sir, is they're all in it for themselves.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Believe Billy Shearer?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36I believe if you mix miners and unions, no-one stays white.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38They're like politicians, put on a face,
0:27:38 > 0:27:40but they're bent as a nine bob note.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I tell you what, if he did sell out the miners,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46that's an awful lot of men with a motive to kill.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I've been making some enquiries.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55There's an inspector's refresher exam starting in Newcastle
0:27:55 > 0:27:56in a couple of days.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I don't... Why the sudden rush to get rid of us?
0:28:03 > 0:28:04I'm not trying to get rid of you.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Is that what you were talking to Langham about behind my back?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I told you that was none of your business.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10How is it none of my business, sir?
0:28:10 > 0:28:13You're talking to him behind my back, scheming to get rid of me.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- I'm not scheming to get rid of you! - Then how is it none of my business?!
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's me they're trying to get rid of!
0:28:19 > 0:28:21What do you mean?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23The ACC seem to think I've ignored one order too many.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26And you think they're trying to chuck you out?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Worse, they're trying to promote me.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31They've offered me a superintendent's position...in traffic.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34(You? Traffic?)
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- It's not funny! They're serious. - Traffic.- Yes, traffic!
0:28:40 > 0:28:44They can't force you to take that, sir, surely?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Go home, John. I'll see you in the morning.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Guv?- Hop it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- WPC Coles.- Morning, sir.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31How are you settling in?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Fine thanks, sir. I'm really enjoying it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35The men are treating you well enough?
0:29:35 > 0:29:36They can be a rough and tumble lot.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39No. Mr Gently's been really good to us.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I'm sure. And how is he doing, do you think?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Getting into more mischief, no doubt?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45I wouldn't know about that, sir.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48We're working on a murder down the mine at Burnsend.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Mr Gently made a right mess of his leg.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Oh?
0:29:52 > 0:29:53What happened?
0:29:53 > 0:29:56I'm not sure. I think he fell or something.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Apparently he caught himself right where he got shot.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I didn't even know he'd been shot till PC Taylor told us.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Yes, always keeps his cards close to his chest does George.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Well, don't let me keep you.- Sir.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Yes.- The telephone number on that is for a Lillian Francis.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25She runs a greyhound kennels in Newcastle.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Yes. We knew that Arthur was racing dogs,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31hence the amount of money that we found.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33And I have the PM report.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Right. Taylor?- Sir?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Get your money out, will you? Postmortem report.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41No. I don't like this.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Get on with it, man, will you? Just read the thing.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50There was heavy bruising on the neck from an attempted strangulation...
0:30:50 > 0:30:54"Attempted", did you hear that that? A-ttemp-ted. Carry on.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- ..and the skull was severely fractured...- Thank you very much.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00..but the blow to the head didn't kill him.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02He had dust and particles in his throat and lungs.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04So he must have been unconscious,
0:31:04 > 0:31:06and then suffocated when the rock fell on him.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07I'll have that back, thanks.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10So he was left... to die down there in the dark?
0:31:10 > 0:31:14He must have tried to crawl out, or we'd never have found him.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Ah, Sergeant, I was hoping to catch you. Quick word.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Er... Yeah. Yeah.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28I...heard about the accident.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29What accident?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Down in the mine. I heard Gently's bad leg let him down.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35It was hardly his leg, sir.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38He's fine. He's absolutely fine.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Look, I admire your loyalty, detective sergeant,
0:31:40 > 0:31:44but even you must admit that arrest rates recently haven't been
0:31:44 > 0:31:45what they once were.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Are we talking about one case in particular, sir?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52I'd like you to make a full report on this latest investigation,
0:31:52 > 0:31:56leave nothing out, including any accidents or incidents.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Why are you not asking Inspector Gently to do that?- I'm asking you.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03You want me to report on my boss?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06All I want is the truth, and it won't do your own career any good
0:32:06 > 0:32:08if you start making up stuff to protect him.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Thank you for your co-operation, detective sergeant.- Right.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19We need to have a chat later on, George.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- My office, four o'clock sharp. - Certainly.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- We're going to be late for the colliery meeting.- Right.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- What was all that about?- He wants me to write a report about the case,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37leave nothing out.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41They're coming after me, John.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52So, there's bruises on his neck and the side of his head's smashed in.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54"Huge force", the pathologist has written here,
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- so it's got to be somebody big and strong.- Or in a rage.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Maybe there's two of them. Fits, doesn't it?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04One has his hands around his neck - that's the attempted strangulation.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07And the other one, round the back, caves the side of his head in.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Panda and Shearer?- Yes.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Because they thought Arthur was going to sell them out.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15They drag him into the waste down there and leave him to be covered.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Right? The only trouble is...
0:33:17 > 0:33:20he's still alive and he crawls out far enough to be found,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- but it's the rock fall that kills him.- Fair enough.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26But why would they want to kill him?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Why not just reveal his betrayal?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Guv, you're assuming they think like rational human beings.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37They're miners, man. They're nutters. They have an argument,
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- they get into a row and...wallop. - That's a bit harsh, isn't it?- Is it?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45If it's not politics, it'll be a woman, or money.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Isn't it always one of those three?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Anyway...it's D-day for them.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54You can't expect the Coal Board to subsidise them
0:33:54 > 0:33:55if the pit's losing money.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58It's about more than money, though, isn't it?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01If the pit closes, it's a whole community torn apart.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- And then how many more up and down the country?- Guv...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05No. You can't measure that in profit.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Guv, what sort of community is it?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10One where people lie and cheat,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13and leave each other to die alone in the ground.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16People go on about how the pits are the souls of these places.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Well, I'll tell you what, it's a very dark and it's a dirty soul.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22And if the mine goes, what have these people got instead?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24A chance of a fresh start.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27To be something other than a slave to a hole in the ground.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Mr Gently, I've got the meeting just now.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Yeah. We'll be in there with you. One question beforehand.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Did Arthur say anything to you about getting a job down in Leeds?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51I think he might have mentioned something about it in passing.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52Did he happen to mention why?
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Given that you were both so confident about the pit staying open?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58I can't say I remember.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You didn't happen to put a word in for him?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02No. Why would I do that?
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Because you'd had the inside word that the pit was about to close,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09and doing Arthur a favour maybe meant he'd do you one.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Paranoia must be catching round here.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I resent that insinuation. Now, if there's nothing else...thank you.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20These people don't want a fresh start, John.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24They just want to hold on to their way of life.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26What's going to happen to them if the mine closes?
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Maybe they'll all go and live in Russia.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32You're all heart, do you know that?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Well, they keep banging on about how better it is over there.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36Bunch of commies, the lot of them.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39If they're so keen, why don't they go and live there?
0:35:39 > 0:35:40CHATTER
0:35:49 > 0:35:51What's the score, then, what's Morden been saying?
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I haven't spoken to him.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55You're the union, he must have said something to you.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Pack it in, will you, Panda?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59You'll hear what he has to say soon enough.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01No. I want to hear it from you...
0:36:02 > 0:36:05..unless you've been running away as well?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07What're you talking about, man?
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Do not pretend not to know.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Keeping it in the family, were you?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16You're as bad as he was.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20OK, I won't keep you all in suspense.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23The board made it clear last month that they would need to see
0:36:23 > 0:36:28a big improvement in productivity to guarantee the future of Burnsend.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32Unfortunately, those targets have not been met,
0:36:32 > 0:36:36so it is with great sadness that I have to announce the official
0:36:36 > 0:36:38closure of Burnsend Colliery.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Notices of one month will be handed out with immediate effect,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46but we would like to reassure everyone
0:36:46 > 0:36:50that all efforts will be made to try to relocate at least some
0:36:50 > 0:36:52of the workforce to other collieries,
0:36:52 > 0:36:56and some of you will be offered salvage work in the short term.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02I know just how hard each and every one of you has worked
0:37:02 > 0:37:06and fought to save this pit, myself included.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08What have you done, you lying bastard?!
0:37:08 > 0:37:10It's a sad day for us all.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13So, I would like to personally wish
0:37:13 > 0:37:16all of you the very best for the future, wherever you may end up.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21What's the union got to say? Joe? Howay, man!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23What's it going to do?
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Are you lot blind? Don't you see what's happened here?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Arthur Hawkes has sold us down the river.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Sorted out his own future while he's ruined ours!
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- This is going to get nasty.- There you are. If in doubt, turn on your own.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39What are you saying, Billy? My dad did everything he could.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Sort you a job an' all, did he, lad?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Me Dad's not even buried and you're blackening his name.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Calm down, all of you, please.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47It's nowt to do with you, Joe.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49I want to know what he's saying.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51I'll tell you, you and everyone else.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Your dad knew all about this.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56In fact, it was him allowed it to happen
0:37:56 > 0:37:57so he could fix his self a new job.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00That's a dirty lie, Billy Shearer! Joe, tell him.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04He can't say nowt cos your dad was nowt but a traitor.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07Hannah!
0:38:09 > 0:38:12SHOUTING
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Sam, stop it!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Aw, man, I'm sorry.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I never... I never saw who it was. Here.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Go home, everybody. Go on.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Everybody, go home.
0:38:36 > 0:38:37Go on, now!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39And get him out of here.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42We should be arresting him for assaulting a police officer.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44John, just do as I ask!
0:38:45 > 0:38:47- Are you all right? - Yeah, yeah. I'm all right.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Just get them out of here. - Go on.- Go on.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53And you. Come on, off you go.
0:39:08 > 0:39:14Do you think your father was capable of what Billy Shearer was saying?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I used to think I knew him.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Who knows what he was capable of?
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Did you know your dad was planning to move to Leeds?
0:39:27 > 0:39:28He never said nothing to me.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- But, aye, it makes sense.- Why?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Cos he was always running away.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Everyone thought he was the big man, making all these speeches
0:39:36 > 0:39:39and that, aye. All the time my mother was dying.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41He said he loved her, so why wasn't he there when she needed him?
0:39:41 > 0:39:45He was either hiding in the bottom of a pint pot or in bloody Newcastle.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Me and Hannah, we did our best,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50but it was him that she was shouting for.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Telling us how in love they'd always been.
0:39:54 > 0:39:55So where was he?
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Do you hate your father for what he did to your mother?
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Yes...
0:40:09 > 0:40:12because she could have felt better at the end,
0:40:12 > 0:40:14and instead he made himself feel better.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18So, you ask me, would he betray that lot and run away to suit himself?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21In a bloody heartbeat.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24And would you have stopped him if you'd had known?
0:40:24 > 0:40:25But I didn't.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29You want to ask somebody about that, you want to ask Joe.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32He had a right ding-dong with him about it last week.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35I thought it was about our Hannah, but...
0:40:35 > 0:40:37maybe it was about this.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Why would they be fighting about Hannah?
0:40:41 > 0:40:45My dad never liked them going together.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Nearly ten years between them.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52HE SIGHS
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I need a drink.
0:40:54 > 0:40:55Like father, like son.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- I'm nothing like him.- Right.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I can't believe you're not standing up for me dad.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14He lied, Hannah, he must have.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16He swore to me it'd be all right.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Maybe the bloody Coal Board lied, eh?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21You ever think that? It was them and not my dad.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- You're as bad as the rest of them. - Hannah.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34So Arthur had it all planned, eh?
0:41:34 > 0:41:37The best thing to do was to strike afore the decision
0:41:37 > 0:41:38and bring the others out with us.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41Arthur did everything he could to talk us out of it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44And now betrayed by our own union.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I don't believe this, man.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50There's years of coal left in the place, I know it, you know it,
0:41:50 > 0:41:52the whole town knows it.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Productivity, they say.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56All I've seen is men working harder than ever,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00and all the time our union was selling us out.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- I never knew nothing about it. - We've only your word for that.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04You calling my son a liar?
0:42:04 > 0:42:07I'll let folk make up their own mind about that.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- SHOUTING - Ma, c'mon, he's not worth it.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Peter, are you just going to stand there, man?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Let him talk. What else has he got left?
0:42:15 > 0:42:19They want to chip away our power, bit by bit,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21so they can control us like... like puppets,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24get rid of the troublemakers, get rid of the older workers,
0:42:24 > 0:42:28steal our pensions, then they can do what they like with the rest.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30- Dad?- See Mum home, son.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33We needed to make a stand.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37We needed to make a stand right here, right now,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39for our way of life,
0:42:39 > 0:42:42and Arthur bloody Hawkes took that from us.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45You take it for granted, that up there...
0:42:46 > 0:42:49..but take a good look...
0:42:49 > 0:42:50cos it'll soon be gone.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54And what kind of future will there be then, huh? For your bairns?
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Let me tell you, a life on the dole, that's what,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02and where's the pride in that?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05How are we supposed to look at ourselves in the mirror?
0:43:07 > 0:43:09It's a shock. I'm sorry.
0:43:09 > 0:43:14Maybe Billy's right. A way of life is coming to an end.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Horrible to contemplate, eh?
0:43:17 > 0:43:20You know, Mr Gently, you can spend your whole life on a thing,
0:43:20 > 0:43:22only to realise you've wasted your time.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25Nothing's what you think it is...
0:43:25 > 0:43:26except death maybe.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Peter, I need to speak to Joe.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34You'd better come with me then.
0:43:50 > 0:43:55Margaret, this is Detective Chief Inspector Gently
0:43:55 > 0:43:57- and Sergeant Bacchus, is it? - Yeah, that's right.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00They're investigating Arthur's murder.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03Pleased to meet you.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06- I hope you get who did this. It's a terrible thing.- Thank you.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Even though he did betray the whole bloody town.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11Mind you, fair dos to him, nobody saw it coming.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14I'm afraid I have to ask some awkward questions.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21Was Arthur unhappy about you seeing Hannah?
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Like that is it. You're here five minutes
0:44:23 > 0:44:26and the wagging tongues are already in your ear. What have you heard?
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- Who's been telling you that? - Sam Hawkes.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Look, Arthur lost his wife only six months ago,
0:44:31 > 0:44:33so who's going to look after the men in that house?
0:44:33 > 0:44:36Arthur didn't want to lose Hannah an' all.
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- How old is Hannah? - 17.
0:44:39 > 0:44:4017.
0:44:40 > 0:44:44You two weren't unhappy about the age difference, then?
0:44:44 > 0:44:47SHE SIGHS
0:44:47 > 0:44:52I'll tell you what, and mind this - Joe bloody loved Arthur.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54How long have you been seeing Hannah?
0:44:56 > 0:44:58All this is because I was seeing Hannah?
0:44:59 > 0:45:02Arthur had taken another job, Joe, in Leeds.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04He was planning to leave.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06You and Arthur have an argument about that?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Was he taking her with him?
0:45:08 > 0:45:10How could they? This is the first we're hearing of it.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12You think I killed him?
0:45:13 > 0:45:16I'm the one as found him. Why would I do that if I killed him?
0:45:16 > 0:45:20Cos it's the oldest trick in the book, happens all the time.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Is that right? You honestly think our Joe
0:45:22 > 0:45:23could do something like that?
0:45:23 > 0:45:27It's my job to think the worst until I find an answer.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30What sort of job is that, always seeing
0:45:30 > 0:45:32and thinking the worst in people all the time?
0:45:32 > 0:45:34I don't know how you could stand it.
0:45:34 > 0:45:35I've been doing it a long time.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38And does that not make you sad, Mr Gently?
0:45:38 > 0:45:41A life spent digging into other folk's misery?
0:45:53 > 0:45:57You said four o'clock sharp, sir.
0:45:57 > 0:45:58Thanks for popping in, George.
0:45:59 > 0:46:03Have you had a chance to take another look at the job offer?
0:46:03 > 0:46:05I don't think it's for me.
0:46:05 > 0:46:08- You're sure about that?- Certain.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Nothing else you'd like to tell me?
0:46:10 > 0:46:12No, I don't think so, sir.
0:46:12 > 0:46:17You feel you're fit enough to carry on where you are.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19I heard about the accident down the mine.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23Who's been telling you this?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25Come on, man, you know better than anybody the risks
0:46:25 > 0:46:28involved in carrying an injury in this job.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32It may be time for you to slow down, George.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34You don't owe anybody anything.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36I'm perfectly fit.
0:46:36 > 0:46:37I don't mind you lying to me,
0:46:37 > 0:46:39but you really should be honest with yourself.
0:46:40 > 0:46:44What if it lets you down at a critical moment? Gets you hurt?
0:46:44 > 0:46:45Or worse, someone else?
0:46:45 > 0:46:48We have the safety of the public to consider, George.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51Wouldn't do to put them at risk.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53You want me out of the way, is that it?
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Maybe it's time for you to get out of your own way.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Every gunslinger has to retire at some point.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Think about it, that's all.
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Always better to jump than be pushed.
0:47:25 > 0:47:27How'd it go?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31What exactly did you say to Langham?
0:47:31 > 0:47:34- I told you, he wants me to write a report.- About my leg.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37He mentioned that. He already knew about it.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41- Yeah, all right.- All right?- Yeah.
0:47:42 > 0:47:45We've had it confirmed from the pit in Leeds -
0:47:45 > 0:47:47Dennis Morden did arrange that job for Arthur.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Better bring him in, then.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51All right. Will do.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52So he lied to us.
0:47:54 > 0:47:55Yeah.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58You given any more thought to that inspector's exam?
0:48:00 > 0:48:04Guv, I appreciate what you're trying to do, I really, really do,
0:48:04 > 0:48:07but I need to make decisions for myself, all right?
0:48:07 > 0:48:09How is doing nothing making a decision?
0:48:09 > 0:48:11If and when I decide that's what I want to do,
0:48:11 > 0:48:12then it's my decision to make.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14I don't need you telling me what I should
0:48:14 > 0:48:16and shouldn't be doing with my life.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18I've had enough of all of that with me dad.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20Pardon me for trying to help.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- I know why this is.- What?
0:48:23 > 0:48:26- I know why this is.- Go on.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29You're looking for a reason to take that job?
0:48:29 > 0:48:33You're pushing me for promotion because you actually want it,
0:48:33 > 0:48:35and you don't want to feel bad.
0:48:35 > 0:48:40- Well, maybe Langham's got a point. You saw what happened today.- Aw, Guv,
0:48:40 > 0:48:44just because you got knocked on your arse by some bloke twice your size.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47I smashed a chair over him, it barely tickled him.
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Look, do you want me to go and get Dennis Morden or not?
0:48:53 > 0:48:57- No. I'll go.- I'll come with you. - I'm fine.- Ah, Guv...
0:49:03 > 0:49:06- Is everything all right? - It's fine. It's fine.
0:49:06 > 0:49:07You've got a face like a smacked bum.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10Is that any way to speak to a senior officer, is it?
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Do you know what? Maybe I should go for the inspector's exam.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Maybe that's what I should do.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15Take the exam, become inspector
0:49:15 > 0:49:18and then I'll finally get a bit of respect around here. Right?
0:49:18 > 0:49:19I'll be a boss then, wouldn't I?
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Instead of having a paranoid one that thinks that the world is
0:49:22 > 0:49:24out to get him, including me.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Can you believe that?
0:49:26 > 0:49:28After everything that we've been through...
0:49:31 > 0:49:33Well...
0:49:33 > 0:49:35I'm glad everything's fine.
0:49:50 > 0:49:54TV PLAYS IN BACKGROUND
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Sure yous two won't join us?
0:49:59 > 0:50:02You've had enough.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05No. No.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07I was celebrating.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Same for yous two an' all.
0:50:14 > 0:50:20Suppose you'll be wanting to move in here, eh, Joe? Huh?
0:50:20 > 0:50:23- Shite, you can even have his slippers.- Don't start, Sam.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Who's starting?
0:50:25 > 0:50:27Who's starting? No, you're all right, bonnie lad.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29Mummy's in the ground and Daddy's in the ground,
0:50:29 > 0:50:31so let's have a wee celebration.
0:50:31 > 0:50:33Don't drink any more, Sam.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41And empty.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43HE LAUGHS
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Sorry and empty, that's me.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50- Let's go upstairs.- Right.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20WOMAN GROANS
0:51:30 > 0:51:32BOTH GROANING
0:51:40 > 0:51:42When you've finished, Mr Morden.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46I knew it. I knew I should have gone with you.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48- Did you actually see them at it? - I did.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51Ah... What was lovely nurse Janet like with her kit off?
0:51:51 > 0:51:54- Can't say I noticed, John.- You liar.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56It's late, Dennis, and I'm doing you a favour.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59I could have done this at your house.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03- We could have met your wife.- So none of your bollocks, man, all right?
0:52:03 > 0:52:07I was offered a promotion and a bonus...
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- if I could make the Burnsend closure happen quietly.- There you go.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13The Coal Board didn't want any hoo-ha
0:52:13 > 0:52:15and, truth be told, the union didn't.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19My biggest problem was Arthur.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24He wasn't daft and I knew the colliers would follow his lead...
0:52:26 > 0:52:28..and then one day he collared me.
0:52:32 > 0:52:37So, I assume if this closure goes quietly, you're already sorted.
0:52:37 > 0:52:39What makes you think that, Arthur?
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Because I'm not stupid, Dennis. I know how this works.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47So I guess, right now, I'm the biggest pain in your arse.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49How would you like that pain to go away?
0:52:50 > 0:52:51I'm not stupid either.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54I won't be tricked into saying something I regret.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57Where did all the trust go, eh, Dennis?
0:52:57 > 0:52:59Listen, I'll speak plainly.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02I need to move elsewhere.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05You help me with that and I'll get you whatever you need.
0:53:05 > 0:53:08- Why would you want to do that? - Is that any of your business?
0:53:08 > 0:53:11It is if you want me to believe this isn't a trick.
0:53:13 > 0:53:16I can protect the men or I can protect my family.
0:53:17 > 0:53:19I don't understand.
0:53:19 > 0:53:20And nor will you.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I've got my reasons. Do we have a deal?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27I can have a word.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29Find you something in another pit.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33You do that and you've got my word I'll get you what you need...
0:53:33 > 0:53:35sick as it makes me feel.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41And he kept it, his word.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45So you got Arthur the job?
0:53:45 > 0:53:46Yes.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50Why did you lie about that before?
0:53:50 > 0:53:52I didn't want any of this getting out
0:53:52 > 0:53:54before the decision was made public.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56It'd put the union in a difficult position.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58They'd have changed their stance to save face.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Threatening your promotion?
0:54:00 > 0:54:03In the end, it's every man for himself.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06Way of the world these days, right?
0:54:07 > 0:54:12Or maybe that's why the world is the way it is these days.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14There's no loyalty, no honour.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Did Arthur realise that and he couldn't live with it?
0:54:19 > 0:54:22So he changed his mind about betraying the men.
0:54:23 > 0:54:28So you decide not to take a chance and you do away with him.
0:54:28 > 0:54:30- That's ridiculous.- Is it?
0:54:30 > 0:54:33You were down in the pit on the day he died, the only time that month,
0:54:33 > 0:54:35now that's a bit of a coincidence, wouldn't you say?
0:54:35 > 0:54:38Monthly inspections only happen once a month.
0:54:38 > 0:54:39The clue is in the name, sergeant.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43Also means that nobody can vouch for your exact whereabouts.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46You've already proven yourself to be a liar.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Am I free to go?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Yes.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55We may need to speak to you later.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59I don't know why I bother.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05We haven't got a single scrap of evidence.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08What? He's got a motive and he's lying.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11We've got a motive and it's the same one that everybody else has got.
0:55:14 > 0:55:15I don't like him.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Oh, that's useful.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20I'm not sure the judicial system could cope with the sudden
0:55:20 > 0:55:23weight of cases if that was the only criteria.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27Why do you have to twist everything that I say? I hate that.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30Well, you should be quite glad to get rid of me, then, shouldn't you?
0:55:30 > 0:55:31What's that supposed to mean?
0:55:31 > 0:55:34Somebody's been keeping Langham well informed about the state
0:55:34 > 0:55:35of my health, haven't they?
0:55:35 > 0:55:39And you think that's me? You think I've been lying to you?
0:55:43 > 0:55:45I've had enough of this.
0:55:48 > 0:55:51Right, which one of you two's been blabbing to Langham?
0:55:51 > 0:55:55Hmm, about his injuries? Hmm?
0:55:56 > 0:55:58Let me ask you a question.
0:55:58 > 0:56:01What's the one thing that every policeman should have?
0:56:01 > 0:56:03I'll tell you what it is - it's loyalty.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05Right? Loyalty.
0:56:05 > 0:56:07The kind of loyalty that means that, no matter what,
0:56:07 > 0:56:09you'll do anything for your partner.
0:56:09 > 0:56:10You'll even lay down your life for them,
0:56:10 > 0:56:12take a bloody bullet for them.
0:56:14 > 0:56:18We have to trust the people that we're working with or we're nothing.
0:56:18 > 0:56:19It was me.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22- I'm so sorry. I wasn't...- Don't.
0:56:39 > 0:56:40Go on.
0:56:42 > 0:56:43I...
0:56:43 > 0:56:48I told CS Langham about your injuries, sir.
0:56:48 > 0:56:50It was stupid, I know.
0:56:50 > 0:56:55I was only concerned and I thought he was, too.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57I'm so sorry, sir.
0:56:57 > 0:57:01After everything you've done for us, you don't deserve this.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05It'll never happen again, sir.
0:57:07 > 0:57:08I know.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27I'm no Arthur Hawkes, sir.
0:57:30 > 0:57:31Yes, I know.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34HE CLEARS HIS THROAT I'm sorry.
0:57:37 > 0:57:38You fancy a pint?
0:57:43 > 0:57:46- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:57:46 > 0:57:47I'm sorry, John.
0:57:49 > 0:57:50I know I haven't been myself.
0:57:50 > 0:57:53It's this bloody bullet wound. If they think I'm unfit...
0:57:53 > 0:57:55Nobody thinks you're unfit.
0:57:55 > 0:57:56They want to get rid of you.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01So don't give them an excuse. Get fit.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04- Don't give them a leg to stand on. - That's quite funny.
0:58:06 > 0:58:08Shall we get back to work?
0:58:08 > 0:58:13So, Arthur wasn't getting away because he'd betrayed the men.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15He was betraying the men to get away.
0:58:15 > 0:58:18What? Because of Joe and Hannah? No.
0:58:18 > 0:58:20Why didn't he just have a word with him?
0:58:20 > 0:58:23"Get your hands off my daughter." It's a bit extreme, isn't it?
0:58:23 > 0:58:25Just upping sticks and taking her with him.
0:58:25 > 0:58:28You know what the young are like, they just don't listen, do they?
0:58:31 > 0:58:34You remember Billy Shearer?
0:58:34 > 0:58:37He was standing in the street and he was in tears.
0:58:37 > 0:58:39- He was totally gutted.- Yeah, so?
0:58:39 > 0:58:43Why didn't he announce Arthur's betrayal?
0:58:43 > 0:58:47He had a chance to make that strike happen and he didn't take it,
0:58:47 > 0:58:51but he told us, even though it gave him a motive for the murder.
0:58:51 > 0:58:54- Yeah. Why would he do that? - I don't know.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57Unless Arthur had got something on him
0:58:57 > 0:59:00- and that's what they were fighting about.- Like what?
0:59:00 > 0:59:02How to make 300 quid betting on a dog.
0:59:23 > 0:59:25Lillian Francis?
0:59:25 > 0:59:26Who are you?
0:59:26 > 0:59:28Police.
0:59:28 > 0:59:31- I have all me licences. - Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure.
0:59:31 > 0:59:34- We want to talk to you about Arthur Hawkes.- Arthur who?
0:59:34 > 0:59:36Arthur Hawkes.
0:59:36 > 0:59:38He was found murdered at Burnsend Colliery.
0:59:38 > 0:59:41Your phone number was found in his pocket.
0:59:41 > 0:59:44I'm sorry to hear that.
0:59:44 > 0:59:47What? Sorry to hear he had your number or sorry that he's dead?
0:59:48 > 0:59:51I have warrant to search these premises.
0:59:52 > 0:59:57NGRC records show that Arthur kept three greyhounds here -
0:59:57 > 1:00:01Fool's Gold, Hannah's Dream and Billy-Cool.
1:00:04 > 1:00:07We've checked records for the dogs that Arthur kept here with
1:00:07 > 1:00:10Billy Shearer and Panda Whelan.
1:00:10 > 1:00:12It's mixed form, wouldn't you say?
1:00:12 > 1:00:14I don't know what you mean. These are them.
1:00:14 > 1:00:15Well...
1:00:15 > 1:00:19Fool's Gold hadn't placed in six races before he won at long
1:00:19 > 1:00:21odds last time out.
1:00:21 > 1:00:25Billy-Cool had four placings and then nothing in three.
1:00:25 > 1:00:27You changed their food?
1:00:27 > 1:00:29Nobody killed him cos of the dogs.
1:00:29 > 1:00:32Oh. We'll need to take blood samples.
1:00:32 > 1:00:34I've got a quick question for you.
1:00:34 > 1:00:36Who's going to look after the mutts
1:00:36 > 1:00:39when you're in prison for perverting the course of justice?
1:00:39 > 1:00:44All right. Just so you know, all I do is look after the dogs.
1:00:44 > 1:00:47I'd like you to do something for us.
1:00:48 > 1:00:50What do you mean, he's taken bad?
1:00:50 > 1:00:52Billy-O's meant to run on Saturday.
1:00:52 > 1:00:54Have you given him too much dope?
1:00:59 > 1:01:01What are they doing here?
1:01:02 > 1:01:07Come on, Panda. Did you fall out over who got the cash?
1:01:09 > 1:01:12Look, I get it. I get it. Billy's your mate,
1:01:12 > 1:01:16he looks after you and you do as he says, don't you?
1:01:16 > 1:01:20- I'm not saying nowt to you. - That's not very clever, is it?
1:01:20 > 1:01:23You tricked us last time, you little shite.
1:01:23 > 1:01:24You hit us with a chair.
1:01:27 > 1:01:30Panda, tell me about the dogs.
1:01:33 > 1:01:35Look, man, everybody does it. It's part of the game.
1:01:35 > 1:01:38Does what, exactly?
1:01:38 > 1:01:41Dopes the dogs up, slow 'em down.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Lose a few races, get the starting price up, then bang,
1:01:43 > 1:01:46take him off them, whack your money on.
1:01:46 > 1:01:49Is that why we found 300 quid in Arthur's locker?
1:01:50 > 1:01:52Right.
1:01:52 > 1:01:55You see, what concerns me, Billy, is this.
1:01:56 > 1:02:00Why didn't you tell your mates that Arthur was betraying the pit?
1:02:00 > 1:02:02What's that got to with owt?
1:02:02 > 1:02:03Well, I think everything...
1:02:03 > 1:02:08because it makes me think that Arthur had got something on you, Billy.
1:02:08 > 1:02:10He didn't know about the doping, did he?
1:02:11 > 1:02:15Not till Fool's Gold developed wings and came in a 33-1.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19How bloody ironic is that, eh?
1:02:20 > 1:02:23Arthur Hawkes, too bloody honest to cheat the bookies
1:02:23 > 1:02:25but sold his mates down the river.
1:02:25 > 1:02:28- Hypocritical bastard. - So what happened?
1:02:30 > 1:02:32He was a union man,
1:02:32 > 1:02:36so we made a deal, of course. We kept his secret.
1:02:36 > 1:02:39- He kept ours.- You and Panda.- Aye.
1:02:39 > 1:02:43So, you got this little secret scheme going on with the dogs,
1:02:43 > 1:02:45and you thought that was more important
1:02:45 > 1:02:49than telling your mates that Arthur was betraying them?
1:02:49 > 1:02:52How does that make you any different from him?
1:02:52 > 1:02:55Have you any idea who we won that money off,
1:02:55 > 1:02:59what the bookies would have had done to us if they had found out?
1:02:59 > 1:03:01It's hard to mine coal with two broken legs, Mr Gently.
1:03:01 > 1:03:03Yes, that's true.
1:03:04 > 1:03:08But you couldn't let it go, could you? Knowing what had happened.
1:03:08 > 1:03:12So, you fought down the pit and you killed him.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14Was it you and Panda?
1:03:14 > 1:03:17Did Panda hold him down and you smashed his head in with a rock?
1:03:17 > 1:03:20Left him down there to die, yes?
1:03:23 > 1:03:27I'm telling you, man, you've got it all wrong.
1:03:27 > 1:03:30Billy, is that you? What's going on?
1:03:30 > 1:03:33Give them till tonight. One of them will talk.
1:03:33 > 1:03:34- Sir.- Yes?
1:03:34 > 1:03:37I've just had Sam Hawkes on the phone - it's about Hannah.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45- Has she been in touch?- She went upstairs with Joe last night,
1:03:45 > 1:03:47that's the last time I saw her.
1:03:47 > 1:03:48What time was this?
1:03:48 > 1:03:52I dunno, I was a bit drunk. I fell asleep on the chair downstairs.
1:03:52 > 1:03:54Hannah's bed hasn't been touched.
1:03:54 > 1:03:56When I woke up this morning, I found this.
1:04:07 > 1:04:09Is Joe here?
1:04:09 > 1:04:10- What for?- Haway man.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13- Hang on, son. This is my house. - Peter, please.
1:04:14 > 1:04:16What's going on?
1:04:16 > 1:04:19- Where's Joe?- He's still asleep.
1:04:19 > 1:04:21Is Hannah with him?
1:04:21 > 1:04:24- You can't just go... - Mrs Turner, is Hannah with Joe?
1:04:24 > 1:04:26No. I haven't seen Hannah since last night.
1:04:26 > 1:04:28Was she here last night?
1:04:28 > 1:04:31No, I meant at the meeting and that.
1:04:31 > 1:04:33- Look, what's this about? - Hannah Hawkes is missing.
1:04:33 > 1:04:35Well, she's not here.
1:04:35 > 1:04:37Well, we think she's come to some harm.
1:04:49 > 1:04:50Get up.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52Wha...? What's this?
1:04:52 > 1:04:54I'll not tell you again.
1:04:55 > 1:04:57Where's Hannah, Joe?
1:04:57 > 1:05:00What do you mean? Is she not at home?
1:05:00 > 1:05:03You tell us. You were the last person seen with her.
1:05:03 > 1:05:05Aye, hold on. You cannot think that...
1:05:05 > 1:05:08- When did she go missing? - Some time last night.
1:05:08 > 1:05:10- Joe was with me, down the club. - All right. Till when?
1:05:10 > 1:05:12Till I carried him home and hauled him in his pit.
1:05:12 > 1:05:14He was paralytic. Midnight maybe.
1:05:14 > 1:05:16Now, well, you would say that, wouldn't you? You're his father.
1:05:16 > 1:05:19Are you calling me a liar, son? Cos I wouldn't if I were you.
1:05:19 > 1:05:21Peter, you need to let this happen.
1:05:21 > 1:05:24But it was lies that's brought all this about, was it not?
1:05:24 > 1:05:26And I've never told a lie in my life.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28Look, Joe was right beside me for the entire shift
1:05:28 > 1:05:31when Arthur was killed, so you can forget about that an' all.
1:05:31 > 1:05:33You need to come with us, Joe. Come on.
1:05:33 > 1:05:35Where? Where are you taking him?
1:05:35 > 1:05:37Just taking him to the station for questioning, all right?
1:05:57 > 1:06:01If you know where that lass is, you need to tell them, for Joe's sake.
1:06:01 > 1:06:04I don't know what you're talking about.
1:06:04 > 1:06:06What if I'd telt them you weren't in your bed
1:06:06 > 1:06:07when I got Joe home last night?
1:06:12 > 1:06:15- Get a report out, I want her found. - Certainly, sir.
1:06:15 > 1:06:19- Rachel, check the hospitals and the doctor's.- Yes, sir.
1:06:22 > 1:06:26You were with Hannah last night, in her house, upstairs.
1:06:26 > 1:06:29Why do you think I did something to her? What aren't you telling us?
1:06:29 > 1:06:31You were upstairs, in her room?
1:06:31 > 1:06:34Sam was drunk, upsetting Hannah, so we went up there to talk.
1:06:34 > 1:06:35What about?
1:06:37 > 1:06:39It was stupid.
1:06:39 > 1:06:42All the stuff that day, Hannah was beside herself,
1:06:42 > 1:06:45everything they were saying about her dad. I should have waited.
1:06:45 > 1:06:46To do what?
1:06:47 > 1:06:49To start making plans.
1:06:50 > 1:06:53We could have everything we wanted now. Nothing to get in the way.
1:06:53 > 1:06:54Like her father?
1:06:56 > 1:06:57You told her that?
1:06:58 > 1:07:00It was stupid. She went mad.
1:07:00 > 1:07:02How can you say that? Today?
1:07:02 > 1:07:05- He's barely cold and you're saying this?- I was thinking about us.
1:07:05 > 1:07:07After everything my dad did for you.
1:07:07 > 1:07:10He tried to part us, Hannah, didn't forget that.
1:07:14 > 1:07:16Hannah!
1:07:22 > 1:07:23So, I let her go.
1:07:23 > 1:07:25- Just like that?- Aye.
1:07:25 > 1:07:30- See, the blood in her house, Joe, tells us different.- Hannah's blood?
1:07:30 > 1:07:33Yes. What are we supposed to think about that?
1:07:33 > 1:07:35- What's happened? Where is she? - Do you want to know what I think?
1:07:35 > 1:07:39I think you told her exactly what you'd done - you killed her father.
1:07:39 > 1:07:40What's happened to her?
1:07:40 > 1:07:43Was Hannah going to tell us that you killed her father?
1:07:43 > 1:07:45I didn't kill anybody! Arthur was me mate! We were mates!
1:07:45 > 1:07:50Then why was he trying to stop you from seeing his daughter?
1:07:50 > 1:07:53Why would he go to such great lengths? That must have hurt.
1:07:53 > 1:07:56Aye. It must have made you mad an' all. I'd have been mad.
1:07:56 > 1:07:58Somebody says that I'm not good enough for their daughter,
1:07:58 > 1:08:00I want that man to tell me to my face.
1:08:00 > 1:08:01You got into a row, didn't you?
1:08:01 > 1:08:04Then you snapped and in the heat of the moment, you smacked him one.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06You smacked him.
1:08:06 > 1:08:08And there he is, on the floor, dead.
1:08:08 > 1:08:12This is no time for anything but the truth, Joe.
1:08:12 > 1:08:14Hannah's pregnant!
1:08:14 > 1:08:17That's what we were talking about. Nobody else knows.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21I was planning to ask Arthur for her hand.
1:08:21 > 1:08:23I wanted to get married before anybody else knows.
1:08:23 > 1:08:25Is that's why she walked out?
1:08:25 > 1:08:28I promise you, I don't know where she is.
1:08:28 > 1:08:31- You've got to find her, please. - Where were you last night?
1:08:32 > 1:08:34In the club.
1:08:52 > 1:08:54Seen who's here? What a disgrace.
1:08:54 > 1:08:58I don't know how you would dare show your face around here, bonnie lad.
1:08:58 > 1:09:01Howay, lads. Piss off, if you know what's good for you.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09What time did you leave?
1:09:09 > 1:09:11I can't remember. Late.
1:09:11 > 1:09:13KNOCK ON DOOR
1:09:13 > 1:09:14Sir.
1:09:23 > 1:09:25John.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33We found Hannah Hawkes - she's in hospital.
1:09:33 > 1:09:35- Good. Is she all right?- I think so,
1:09:35 > 1:09:37but I haven't got all the information yet.
1:09:37 > 1:09:39All right. Release him?
1:09:40 > 1:09:42Let him go.
1:09:42 > 1:09:44Rachel, do me a favour, will you?
1:09:44 > 1:09:47Dig out that map showing the position of the men in the mine.
1:09:52 > 1:09:57It was a do-it-yourself job, I'm afraid, with a coat hanger probably,
1:09:57 > 1:09:58She must have been pretty desperate.
1:09:58 > 1:10:00- How is she? - Weak. Lost a lot of blood.
1:10:06 > 1:10:08And the baby?
1:10:15 > 1:10:17What happened, Hannah?
1:10:18 > 1:10:20Hannah?
1:10:27 > 1:10:29Did she come in on her own?
1:10:29 > 1:10:31A woman brought her in.
1:10:31 > 1:10:33What did she look like?
1:10:33 > 1:10:36Mid-40s, a bit on the glamorous side.
1:10:40 > 1:10:41Where's Joe?
1:10:41 > 1:10:43He's been released.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45Oh, thank you.
1:10:45 > 1:10:47We've just come from Durham General.
1:11:01 > 1:11:04- How is she?- She's fine.
1:11:06 > 1:11:07Are you on your own?
1:11:07 > 1:11:10Peter's down the club, just in time for opening.
1:11:10 > 1:11:13That's what happens when you take a man's job away.
1:11:13 > 1:11:14What happened with Hannah?
1:11:16 > 1:11:18She didn't want that baby obviously.
1:11:18 > 1:11:20Why?
1:11:20 > 1:11:24- Why ask me?- Margaret, did you force her to abort the baby?
1:11:24 > 1:11:27- No.- Because you were afraid of what people might think?
1:11:27 > 1:11:29Do you think I care about that?
1:11:29 > 1:11:32Yes. Your pride. The shame of what happened.
1:11:32 > 1:11:35- No. I was trying to help her.- Did you bully her into killing her baby?
1:11:35 > 1:11:37How dare you think you know me?!
1:11:37 > 1:11:39Do you think I don't know what it feels like
1:11:39 > 1:11:41to have to make that choice...?
1:11:57 > 1:12:00Did you once lose a baby, too?
1:12:01 > 1:12:03No, I was lucky.
1:12:03 > 1:12:05I never had to face that hell.
1:12:07 > 1:12:11So, are we talking about the time you were carrying Joe?
1:12:14 > 1:12:17You and Peter weren't married then?
1:12:18 > 1:12:21Oh, I was married.
1:12:21 > 1:12:22Why were you considering...?
1:12:27 > 1:12:29Joe wasn't Peter's.
1:12:30 > 1:12:35- How old is Joe again?- 26.- 26.
1:12:35 > 1:12:371943.
1:12:37 > 1:12:41Peter was away at the war in 1943.
1:12:44 > 1:12:47Bevan Boys. Arthur Hawkes!
1:12:47 > 1:12:52Arthur Hawkes was a Bevan Boy, wasn't he? Did he arrive here in 1943?
1:12:52 > 1:12:54SHE SIGHS
1:12:59 > 1:13:00SHE SOBS
1:13:03 > 1:13:06Hannah! Hannah!
1:13:08 > 1:13:10Do you want me to get rid of him?
1:13:10 > 1:13:12No. I've got to speak to him.
1:13:19 > 1:13:21I've been worried sick.
1:13:21 > 1:13:25She came here last night looking for Joe. They'd had a fight.
1:13:27 > 1:13:30And then she told me she was pregnant...
1:13:31 > 1:13:34..and I knew. I couldn't just stand by.
1:13:37 > 1:13:39So I told her the truth.
1:13:42 > 1:13:46I was 21, barely married a year and I hadn't heard from Peter in months.
1:13:46 > 1:13:48I thought he was dead.
1:13:51 > 1:13:55I was alone, lonely, and your dad...
1:13:57 > 1:14:00We fell in love.
1:14:02 > 1:14:04I don't understand.
1:14:05 > 1:14:08Peter's not Joe's dad.
1:14:12 > 1:14:13No.
1:14:16 > 1:14:18Joe's your brother, pet.
1:14:20 > 1:14:24This is just... Why does nobody want us to be together?!
1:14:24 > 1:14:27Because I'm telling you the truth. Hannah, pet, come here.
1:14:27 > 1:14:28Don't touch me! Get away from me!
1:14:31 > 1:14:33I'll never forget how she looked at me.
1:14:33 > 1:14:36Can you imagine what it felt like, having to tell her that?
1:14:38 > 1:14:40Peter never suspected?
1:14:42 > 1:14:45He'd come home to his adoring wife.
1:14:45 > 1:14:47How could I tell him there was nothing to come back to?
1:14:49 > 1:14:51First night back from the war,
1:14:51 > 1:14:54he told me I was the only thing that kept him going.
1:14:57 > 1:14:59Arthur said we had to stop seeing each other -
1:14:59 > 1:15:01he wouldn't do that to Peter.
1:15:03 > 1:15:05I wasn't far gone.
1:15:05 > 1:15:10As far as Peter was concerned, Joe just came a bit early, that's all.
1:15:13 > 1:15:17Are you sure that Peter never knew?
1:15:17 > 1:15:19We've had...
1:15:19 > 1:15:22We've had 26 good years, Mr Gently.
1:15:25 > 1:15:28So...later last night, you went after Hannah?
1:15:31 > 1:15:34I couldn't just leave her, not in that state.
1:15:47 > 1:15:49Hannah?!
1:15:54 > 1:15:56- WOMAN SOBBING UPSTAIRS - Hannah?!
1:15:59 > 1:16:02Hannah? Hannah?
1:16:02 > 1:16:06Hannah, pet, it's Margaret. Can I come in?
1:16:06 > 1:16:08SHE CONTINUES SOBBING
1:16:15 > 1:16:17Oh, no, pet. Oh, no...
1:16:17 > 1:16:20I never meant it to come to this.
1:16:21 > 1:16:22I can see that.
1:16:24 > 1:16:28I can see why Arthur was desperate to take Hannah away.
1:16:30 > 1:16:33Joe knows, I had to tell him.
1:16:33 > 1:16:36- What did he say?- I'm scared, Margaret, of what he'll do.
1:16:36 > 1:16:38What did he say?!
1:16:38 > 1:16:42He was crying, upset, said that he should never have been.
1:16:42 > 1:16:45Never existed. That all this is because of him.
1:16:45 > 1:16:46Said he was meant to be dead.
1:16:46 > 1:16:49That he should have died in the pit and not me dad.
1:16:49 > 1:16:53- That me dad should never have saved him.- Where's Joe now?
1:16:53 > 1:16:55He's gone to the pit.
1:17:03 > 1:17:05- Shall we get Peter?- Yes.
1:18:22 > 1:18:26Why are we doing this, Guv? Hmm?
1:18:26 > 1:18:29If he wants to kill himself then we should bloody let him.
1:18:29 > 1:18:31It's not how it works, is it, eh?
1:18:33 > 1:18:37It'd be some form of justice, wouldn't it? Poetic, even.
1:18:37 > 1:18:39Maybe you're right...
1:18:41 > 1:18:42..if Joe was the killer.
1:18:53 > 1:18:55We need to get a move on.
1:18:58 > 1:19:00Peter...
1:19:02 > 1:19:04..is Joe a killer?
1:19:06 > 1:19:07No.
1:19:07 > 1:19:12- He's going to say that, isn't he, sir? It's his son.- No, he isn't...
1:19:12 > 1:19:13Is he?
1:19:16 > 1:19:19There's nothing I wish more to be true, but, no, he isn't.
1:19:22 > 1:19:24Did you kill Arthur?
1:19:26 > 1:19:27Aye.
1:19:30 > 1:19:32Oh, Peter.
1:19:35 > 1:19:36Joe!
1:19:38 > 1:19:42Joe! METAL CLANGING
1:19:42 > 1:19:44- Joe!- Don't come down here!
1:19:44 > 1:19:47- You stay there.- Joe!
1:19:47 > 1:19:48Joe!
1:19:51 > 1:19:53Look, leave me alone!
1:19:55 > 1:19:57Joe, none of this is your fault.
1:20:00 > 1:20:02HE SIGHS
1:20:02 > 1:20:03Guv, no.
1:20:03 > 1:20:05- Guv... Guv...- What!?
1:20:05 > 1:20:07I'm not letting you do this. This is stupid.
1:20:07 > 1:20:10What are you risking your life for? You've got nothing to prove.
1:20:10 > 1:20:12John, I've got to do this.
1:20:12 > 1:20:15Guv, no, I'm not letting you do it.
1:20:27 > 1:20:28Joe!
1:20:28 > 1:20:29Just stop it!
1:20:32 > 1:20:35HE COUGHS
1:20:38 > 1:20:41I'm coming in, Joe. Stop!
1:20:52 > 1:20:56There are people up there that need you, Joe!
1:20:56 > 1:20:57I loved her.
1:20:58 > 1:21:00I loved her.
1:21:00 > 1:21:03How can I look at her now?
1:21:03 > 1:21:04And what about Hannah?
1:21:04 > 1:21:07How is she going to feel?
1:21:07 > 1:21:10Don't be so bloody selfish!
1:21:15 > 1:21:20Do you want her to have your death on her conscience as well? Do you?
1:21:20 > 1:21:23Hasn't everybody suffered enough, eh?
1:21:25 > 1:21:27Come on, son.
1:21:30 > 1:21:32HE SCREAMS
1:21:32 > 1:21:35CRUMBLING
1:21:36 > 1:21:38Out! Out!
1:22:05 > 1:22:06Peter?
1:22:08 > 1:22:11- What's going on?- You tell her.
1:22:17 > 1:22:21I believe that, and you can believe me on that.
1:22:21 > 1:22:24So let's just keep doing what we do best,
1:22:24 > 1:22:29bringing up the dirty black stuff, like Burnsend men have always done,
1:22:29 > 1:22:31and there's none better at doing it, eh?
1:22:31 > 1:22:33Aye.
1:22:33 > 1:22:35APPLAUSE
1:22:54 > 1:22:56It's a brave thing, you're doing - the right thing.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58- You're a good man, Arthur.- Am I?
1:22:59 > 1:23:03I slept with another man's wife while he fought for his country.
1:23:03 > 1:23:05Lied to my kids, my workmates.
1:23:06 > 1:23:08Sometimes I think I'm no man at all.
1:23:08 > 1:23:11What's the alternative? Tell Joe and Hannah the truth?
1:23:11 > 1:23:13And make a lie of the last 26 years?
1:23:15 > 1:23:17We put everybody else first back then,
1:23:17 > 1:23:20- that's where we went wrong. - And now it's too late.
1:23:21 > 1:23:24Them kids is all that matters now, Margaret.
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Joe and Hannah can never find out the truth.
1:23:28 > 1:23:30Peter neither.
1:23:38 > 1:23:40What a bloody pair, eh?
1:23:40 > 1:23:43Suddenly it all just made sense,
1:23:43 > 1:23:46horrible sense, and I felt like a fool.
1:23:46 > 1:23:48A stupid, powerless fool.
1:23:48 > 1:23:51No! I made my choice.
1:23:51 > 1:23:55- And regretted it ever after. - No, that's not true!
1:23:55 > 1:23:59You think I couldn't feel it? Summat always not quite right?
1:23:59 > 1:24:0226 years of second best.
1:24:02 > 1:24:04I just wanted to tell him to his face that I knew.
1:24:05 > 1:24:08Then something got a hold of us,
1:24:08 > 1:24:11and he was telling all these things to try and stop us,
1:24:11 > 1:24:13saying he was my friend and that.
1:24:13 > 1:24:15I just couldn't.
1:24:15 > 1:24:17- SOBBING:- I just couldn't.
1:24:17 > 1:24:20BOTH SOBBING
1:24:20 > 1:24:22(Give them a minute.)

1:27:03 > 1:27:04I just came to tell you personally
1:27:04 > 1:27:07that I'm not taking that traffic job.
