8-7-2 from Control. Please confirm exact location.
Control from 8-7-2.
The casualty is in the alley
between Howsden Street and Barstock Road.
The alley's been cordoned off but request more units to assist.
8-7-2 from Control. You have units 45, 78 and 56 on the way.
Go ahead, 49.
Request status of casualty.
Unit 49, ambulance is on scene and casualty is being assessed.
Is she alive?
Central Control from unit 49, can you confirm casualty is...
Alan.
- Hold on. - Let him through.
Excuse me.
Annie, you need to get up.
Annie, can you hear me?
You need to get up now.
Ripped & Corrected By mstoll
Alan, you have to come away now.
People need to work.
Okay.
Helen. Where is she? Is she all right?
Jesus Christ!
What happened?
The paramedics say she was stabbed.
Her bag's missing and her purse...
She was mugged?
- Have we got a suspect? - Not yet.
- Witnesses? - Uniform are canvassing now.
What about the boss?
He hasn't said a word.
Shit.
Came as soon as I heard.
I'm sorry. It's a shocking thing to happen.
- Yeah. Yes, sir. - ANDERSON. Where is he?
Alan, I want you to know that we will get whoever did this.
That's a promise.
Now, I've already arranged for another team to pick this up.
They're on their way.
Are you okay to hand everything over to them?
We're not handing this over.
This is our case.
Can you give us a moment?
Sir.
You, too.
I understand.
Really. I do.
You're angry. And you should be.
But that's exactly why we have to pass this on.
- There isn't time. - They're already on their way.
Even if they start tonight, it'll take them two days to get up and running.
And I can live with that if it means doing this properly.
What about them out there?
Public get anxious when coppers get killed,
and the press know that.
They'll give you some grace, a week at the most,
but if you don't get a quick result, they will turn on you.
This happened to our team, sir.
We're here and we're ready to go.
- We're picking this one up. - What?
Right. Come on, gather round, listen up.
I don't need to tell you what this case means to us.
Annie was our friend.
So that means none of us stop until we catch whoever killed her.
So, that means any witnesses interviewed,
that means all CCTV within a half mile of this crime scene gets collected.
We get her phone checked out.
Ken, find her car.
It's been less than an hour since Annie was attacked.
Let's get moving.
We have to tell David.
Alan. Helen.
Er, Isla and I were playing vets. Panda's got a very sore throat.
Where's Annie?
How did it happen?
We don't have the full picture yet.
Well, what do you have?
Well, we think Annie may have been the victim of a street robbery.
And she sustained a fatal knife wound.
Sustained a fatal knife wound?
Yes.
You're saying my wife was stabbed?
I don't understand.
I spoke with her.
When?
She called, a couple of hours ago.
She said that she had to work late...
...and that I was to kiss Isla good night for her.
Then did she say anything else?
I asked her to bring home some milk.
The last thing I said to her was to make sure to pick up milk.
I don't care how long it takes, just find her bloody car, will you?
All right. What about height?
Age? Hair?
Did you see what he was wearing?
Dark and he had hood.
Right, Jason here was smoking a cigarette
outside the pub across the way.
He didn't see the incident,
but saw a man running from the alley down Barstock Road.
I don't think anything happened until all the police started showing up.
Yeah. Sure there's enough of you?
- There's been a serious incident. - A police officer's been attacked.
That explains it then.
What does it explain?
You lot pulling out all the stops 'cause it's one of your own.
- Watch your mouth, son. - All right. Get a grip!
Ken, calm down. He's just a kid.
All right, these two.
I need them down at the station for their statements tonight, please.
Oh, you're joking.
You'll be in and out, boys. It's all right, thank you.
Come on.
Are you okay?
How's David?
He's arranging for his sister to come over to take care of Isla.
He wants to see Annie tonight.
Tonight, the life of a brave and dedicated officer was taken
in an act of senseless violence.
Not only was Detective Sergeant Cabbot an exemplary officer,
she was also a wife and a mother.
Our thoughts tonight are with her husband and daughter.
Yeah.
Okay. Thanks for that.
The tech boys are sending Annie's call history over.
What about her car?
Silk Street, multi-storey. CCTV has her parking up about 8:30.
It's my fault, boss.
Yeah, I should've insisted.
I should've made her take me with her. But she said she'd be fine, so I...
What are you talking about?
Last night at the station, I was there when Annie took the call.
What call?
It sounded like someone was upset.
- Annie said she'd be right there. - Well, who was it?
I dunno.
Then you better find out.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Cause of death was a single penetrating wound
to the upper torso on the left side.
The blade entered just below her rib cage
and was thrust upwards.
It travelled four inches before it finally penetrated her heart.
No other wounds present.
Save for some grazing on her left cheek.
Possibly sustained when she fell.
Some alcohol in her blood stream.
Stomach showed red wine along with bread and olives.
And the blade?
Unusual.
Large incision.
Wide too.
Kitchen knife?
More likely a hunting knife.
This is a Buckrock K47.
Top of the range hunting knife,
and very similar to the weapon that our killer used.
It's a specialist weapon.
It's expensive too.
So we need to talk to the hunting and fishing clubs.
See if any of their members have anything like this
or have reported something similar missing.
Where are we with forensics?
The report should be coming in later this morning.
Vince, CCTV?
No cameras in the alley, obviously,
but pretty good coverage on the main drag.
Er, witness claims he saw a hooded male running from the scene.
We took this from a camera
situated about 500 metres from the alley.
Time code has it at 21:20.
Now, it's not the greatest image I admit that but, this guy here,
this could be our suspect.
Ken, where are we with Annie's phone records?
Last three calls she made all check out.
Last one was to the boss at 21:09.
She said that she had something important.
She never got to tell me exactly what that was.
Apart from the boss, the last call Annie received
was from a "pay as you go" mobile.
Ken witnessed that call.
Someone asked to meet Annie.
I've no idea who it was.
But we have an idea where that meeting was gonna take place.
Somewhere around Howsden Street.
Obviously, this person has become a vital witness
and we need to find them.
Howsden Street was busy last night.
There's lots of student bars,
and so far we haven't found anyone who remembers seeing Annie.
Our pathologist said that the last things Annie consumed
were red wine, bread and olives.
- You won't get that in a student bar. - No.
But we might find it here.
'Cause there's a new restaurant that's opened just opposite the alley.
It's called the Andalusian.
Yeah, I remember her. Her and her mate.
Her mate?
Well, another woman anyway.
Did you recognise this woman?
- Never seen her before. - Can you describe her?
About 35. Rich.
- How did you know she was rich? - Her clothes.
All designer labels.
How long were they in here?
No more than an hour.
Your friend left first.
Then Prada woman paid up ten minutes later.
- How did she pay? - Credit card.
One of the black ones.
The woman in the bar was Tamsin Richards.
Tamsin Richards?
Credit card receipt has her paying at 09.12.
Waiter says Annie left the bar 10 minutes earlier.
So why was Annie meeting Tamsin?
That's what we're gonna find out.
D'you think Tamsin was involved?
I don't think it's a coincidence.
I need to talk to you.
Have you read the forensics report?
Not yet.
Right. Well, let me save you the trouble.
Any physical evidence from the body and the crime scene is worthless.
The Chief Forensics Officer said the scene was compromised
before his team could process it.
Helen, I'm getting reports that he touched the body.
That he laid his jacket over her, for God's sake.
He was in shock.
I knew it was a mistake.
I should've made him stand down.
Right, we need to work together on this, Helen.
- Sir? - The man's grieving.
But we can't let him jeopardise this investigation.
From now on, I want you reporting back to me on Banks.
You're to be my eyes and ears.
Understood?
You're asking me to spy on him?
I'm asking you to look out for him.
Think of it as a training exercise.
Monitoring your colleagues will be part of your job when you're a DCI.
- Can I help you with something? - I don't think so.
How long before we start?
As soon as we get permission.
Barge right in, why don't you?
I need to speak to your wife, Mr Richards.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Plans for our next development.
We're building a luxury apartment complex.
Well, at least we will be when we get it past city council tomorrow.
Where's Tamsin?
Er, could be London.
Likes to go there three or four times a year.
Or maybe at some spa,
up to her eye-balls in mud baths and facials.
See, Tamsin likes to do these little vanishing acts every now and again.
Keep me on my toes.
Her way of reminding me she's still her own woman.
- What d'you want with her anyway? - She met with DS Cabbot last night.
Oh, yeah, the one who was mugged?
Who says she was mugged?
The news.
As the last person to see DS Cabbot alive,
Tamsin's a vital witness.
I'm sure if she'd seen anything, she would've come forward.
But when she gets home, I'll get her to give you a call.
Did you know she was meeting with DS Cabbot last night?
No, er, Tamsin never mentioned it.
Doesn't bother you?
Your wife meeting up with a police officer?
Why would that bother me?
Might want to slow down, boss.
Boss!
- It was Richards. - What?
Might not have stuck the knife in himself, but he was behind it.
Oh, it was him. The robbery was just a smoke screen.
Richards had Annie murdered.
Why would he do that?
Dunno yet, but it must've had something to do with Annie meeting Tamsin.
Helen.
Someone used Annie's credit card this morning.
It's gotta be our man. I'm outside the delivery address now.
He tried to buy 200 quid's worth of baby equipment online.
Yeah. Cheers.
- Okay, let's do it. - Go.
Police! Stay where you are!
Clear.
Contact.
Clear.
D'you not think he's got enough problems
without you lot giving him an heart attack?
State of that door.
I'm sorry, we forced access because your uncle wouldn't open up for us.
Well, of course he wouldn't open up, he's in a wheelchair, for God's sake.
Not to mention the fact he's got dementia.
Poor sod doesn't even know what day it is.
Okay, I'm really sorry.
Is he all right?
He's a bit shaken up, but he'll be fine.
...smashing his door down, no respect...
- His niece, she's not very happy. - How can you tell?
Well, he doesn't look like your typical credit card fraudster.
Doesn't even have internet.
Any chance it was the niece?
Well, we'll check her out, but I doubt it.
- Did you speak to Tamsin? - Not yet.
Steven Richards killed Annie.
He set it up. It was on his orders.
Come on, £150 specialist hunting knife.
It's not your average mugger's weapon of choice, is it?
And a random stab to the heart? I don't think it was random.
I think it was right on target.
It doesn't fit with Richards. He's far too smart to go after police.
What if he had no choice?
- What if he was desperate, angry? - About what?
That his wife had arranged a meeting with a copper!
What if Tamsin had given Annie something on Richards?
Something that could hurt him.
No, because then she would have told us.
She did, she phoned me.
She said "I've got something big".
I'm starting to believe it was Steven Richards.
And if Richards found out that Tamsin was talking to Annie,
he'd have to act fast.
That's exactly what he did.
- So what's our next move? - Find Tamsin.
- Ken! - Alan, wait.
Go after Richards too soon and you risk tipping him off.
Leave it any longer and he has the chance to cover his tracks.
- But you don't have any proof. - I'll find some.
They've searched the house, nothing.
Well, whoever used Annie's card must be have access to this address.
The niece said he's housebound, barely sees a soul.
Find out who's doing his garden.
I'm guessing there wasn't a surveillance team available, then?
She might not even come home.
She'll come home.
I remember me and Annie pulled an all-nighter once.
We were watching this warehouse out in Wetherby,
don't remember why exactly,
but I remember it was freezing.
Anyway, around 2:00 in the morning,
Annie announces she's starving and pulls rank.
I had to walk two miles before I found a 24-hour-garage.
She was asleep when I got back.
That's him.
Anthony Tinsley?
- Yeah? - I'm DI Morton. This is DC Grady.
We're here to talk to you about your relationship with Victor Yardley.
- I've never heard of him. - Yeah, apparently you do his garden.
Vince!
Baby monitor,
changing bag, sterilizer, and six bottles,
Moses basket and assorted baby clothes.
D'you recognise these items, Anthony?
Someone tried to purchase them this morning using a stolen credit card.
And the delivery address given was the house belonging to Victor Yardley.
Victor's niece says, that you and your mates did Victor's garden
as part of your community service.
And she told us that you took a shine to Victor,
and that you came back, on your own, to do his garden
in your spare time for free.
So how come Victor got the special treatment?
Have you ever used Victor's address for your own correspondence?
No comments.
Did you attempt to use a stolen credit card this morning?
No comments.
It'll only take us a few hours to trace the IP address back to you.
You need to talk to us, Anthony.
Because that credit card belonged to DS Annie Cabbot.
And it was stolen last night when she was stabbed.
That's right.
Anything you want to tell us?
When we link this transaction to your computer,
we'll be one step closer to charging you with murder.
All right.
- He found it? - Hmm.
On a patch of waste-ground,
about a half mile from his flat in Chapeltown which is here.
Tinsley said he was on his way home around midnight.
Saw the bag had been dumped. Took the cards, left the rest.
He's probably lying. Where was he before that?
He's got an alibi for the time of the murder.
Tinsley was visiting his girlfriend in hospital.
She's just given birth to their daughter.
Half the maternity ward can vouch for him being there.
- So the bag might still be there? - Well, we'll soon find out.
We're taking a search party out there now.
Where's Banks?
Er, he's bringing in Tamsin Richards.
- Not something he could delegate? - Apparently not.
Here we go.
So much for London.
Engine off.
What the hell is this?
- Oi! - Need you to come with me, Tamsin.
- There's no need for that. - Steven?
It's all right, you don't have to say a word, Tamsin. Not a word.
I just think a street stabbing is a bit small time for Richards.
And you think killing a police officer, that's more in his league, do you?
Banks' instinct's usually right.
Yeah, well, maybe he's letting his feelings
cloud his judgement on this one.
Well, I might be new but I'm not stupid.
I know he was in love with Annie.
He didn't exactly hide it.
Look, I'm not trying to do him down but the pressure's on with this case.
Might be better if we have someone that wasn't so close to the victim.
I was close to Annie, Vince.
Yeah. You worked with her.
And we were friends.
Anyway, what I mean is, we need someone with a bit of distance.
- Ma'am? - Oh, that's it, that's it. Thank you.
Tinsley wasn't lying then.
Crime scene to here. How far?
- Four. Five miles. - I wouldn't walk it. Would you?
Check the ANPR log when we get back. See if anything comes up.
Annie turned up about half eight.
We had a couple glasses of wine and then she had to get home.
And what did you do then?
Finished my wine, paid the bill and then a cab picked me up from outside.
And no, I didn't see what happened.
First I knew she was dead was when I turned on the news this morning.
Why did you meet with DS Cabbot?
I wanted some advice.
On what?
If you must know, on my marriage.
That so hard to believe?
That you sought out DS Cabbot for marriage counselling?
Yes. Yes, it is.
You're gonna have to do better than that, Tamsin.
Better than the truth?
What did you tell her?
Nothing. We just chatted.
But you and DS Cabbot weren't friends.
So?
Well, so you don't discuss your marriage with someone you don't know well.
When I found out Kat was dead,
I wanted to scream.
Wanted to tear the skin off my face.
The worst part was I had nobody to talk to.
All you had was questions.
Steven was too angry, and...
Well, everyone else is too scared of him to go near me.
I'd just lost my only daughter.
And I was alone.
Until Annie.
She spoke to me.
She understood.
She was the only one.
So, no, we weren't friends.
But I called her because I trusted her.
And because I knew she'd listen.
And don't you think it strange, Annie dying shortly after meeting you?
Strange?
It's bloody tragic.
- Could there be a connection? - I had nothing to do with her death.
- What about your husband? - Well, why don't you go and ask him?
Cab company confirms they picked up Tamsin around 9:30.
Richards owns the cab company.
Even so we have to consider the possibility that she wasn't involved.
If she wasn't involved why was she hiding out at her house all day?
I don't know, Alan. But what I do know is
that from the moment she walked into this station she's cooperated.
- We have to release her. - No.
We've got nothing to hold her on.
Richards is here with his lawyer.
Is everything all right?
You sure? So we're done here?
We need to talk to Tamsin again.
- We'll see about that. Come on. - Alan.
- Dad! - Oh, Alan. I'm... I'm so sorry.
- What are you doing here? - Just came to see if you were all right.
You need to go.
I want you to know I'm not angry with you.
I know how much you loved her.
Oh.
Go home, please. I'll call you.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay.
Alan.
We've got him.
Morning, everyone. Yes, Helen.
Stuart Colvin.
Forty nine years old, unemployed.
Current address is a property north of Aysgarth.
Colvin's car, it's a Mondeo.
Registration K-U-0-2-E-F-J.
ANPR clocked it near this patch of waste ground at 10.48pm
on the night DS Cabbot was killed.
Where we recovered DS Cabbot's bag.
We cross referenced the same car with the ANPR from the crime scene.
And guess what?
We got a match.
The Mondeo was near the alley at the time DS Cabbot was killed.
And then later near the waste ground.
What else do we know about Colvin?
Had a history of violence and addiction.
Served three years for assault with a knife in 2002.
- Any connection to Richards? - None that we know of.
Right, we need to locate and arrest Stuart Colvin.
We'll start at Aysgarth.
Colvin also has a rented lock-up near Allerton. Be worth taking a look.
Okay. Two teams then.
Helen and I will go to Aysgarth.
Ken, Vince, get a search team over to the lock-up. Let's move.
Clear, boss!
Oh, God!
There's nothing like sliced up defenceless animals
to help you relax, is there?
Let's get it all bagged up.
Will you give me a hand here? I need this open please.
Ken.
We've got a silver Mondeo in the lock up.
Anything?
Forensics are checking it now.
Thanks, Ken. Keep me posted.
Nice.
Colvin has another vehicle.
We've got registration docs for a Citroen van.
- Licence plate A-A... - Look, this is our connection.
The Crosslands Clinic.
A rehab centre that operated in Leeds until 2007.
Colvin must've passed through there.
- So? - So? Richards file!
Richards was in rehab for alcohol addiction in 2006.
He did three stints in all.
One of the clinics was the Crosslands.
I'll bet you anything that's where he and Colvin met.
Well, we can check it out.
But even if they were there at the same time
it could just be a coincidence.
A Citroen van of Colvin's.
- Does it say what colour it was? - Green.
Control from 49.
We're in pursuit of suspect
heading west, at speed on the Aysgarth Road.
Green Citroen van, Papa-Three-One-Six-
Papa-Yankee-Uniform.
Alan!
- Slow down! - He's not getting away.
Call an ambulance.
Control from 49, this is DI Morton, I need an ambulance.
Get me out of here.
- Well? - Could have been a lot worse.
Hey, hey, hold up.
No, I just need to question.
After we get him to hospital.
I just need a word.
We have you at the scene, we have your car
and we're going over your house as we speak. We've got you.
- I know you murdered her. - Enough.
This is where you get to save your skin.
I know Richards was behind this, I just need you to confirm it.
And now you're done.
Where you going?
Alan!
What...
...environmental impact report.
You'll see we've made efforts...
You barge into my home, you haul my wife in for questioning,
and now you're disrupting my business.
- Colvin's in custody. - Who's Colvin?
He'll hold out for a while, but we both know he's weak.
He'll give me the truth in the end.
The truth being?
That you ordered him to kill one of my officers.
DS Annie Cabbot.
Really?
Can you hear yourself?
What I don't understand is why.
What did she do?
What was so bad that you had to have her killed?
Did she get too close to Tamsin?
What has your wife been saying about you?
It's only a matter of time before I find out.
But I will find out.
Tamsin reckons you were in love with this copper.
I didn't buy it at first.
I didn't see you as the type to go sniffing round the underlings.
A bit too upstanding for that.
But now, seeing you here,
beginning to think Tamsin was right.
I know what it feels like to lose someone you love.
All that guilt.
Burning away at ya,
even when you know it wasn't your fault, you still blame yourself.
And that's where you are right now.
But what you really need to do, is face the truth.
When she needed you most...
...you weren't there.
Alan!
Touched a nerve, did I, eh?
- What the hell where you thinking? - Oh, let's not make a thing of this.
Yes, well, it is a thing. You just assaulted him.
You know, you really have to try and control...
Why aren't you angry about this?
What!
This is Annie we're talking about. Annie.
And he had her slaughtered in the street.
Left to bleed to death in an alley-way, Helen.
I don't how you do it. I don't know how you can be so cold.
But I do know that no copper wants to work under a DCI who doesn't feel it.
And that's always gonna be your problem, Helen.
You don't feel it.
It's Anderson, he wants to see us.
It was reckless.
You had no business pursuing Stuart Colvin.
I'm the lead on this case.
For God's sake, Banks, we have pursuit drivers
and they're a damn sight better trained for it than you are.
- Caught him, didn't I? - You almost killed him!
Right, that's it. I'm handing this over.
Clearly, you need time to process DS Cabbot's death.
You can't do that and lead her murder investigation.
I'm not done here.
I still have to question Colvin.
I need him to confirm the link to Richards.
Richards?
DI Morton will take over the case.
What?
She'll be made Acting DCI.
- With respect, sir... - It's done, Banks.
Go home.
Alan, wait.
- What's going on, boss? - You best ask captain DCI Morton.
Thank you.
Alan?
The state of you.
Whilst I can't comment on any specifics,
I can confirm that a suspect has been arrested
in connection with the murder of DS Cabbot.
Is it true the suspect suffered serious injury during his arrest?
I can't comment on that.
A high speed pursuit conducted by DCI Alan Banks?
...but this is a very, very significant breakthrough.
Has DCI Banks been suspended?
DCI Banks has taken some personal leave.
Yes, but he was responsible for the injuries sustained by your suspect?
Thank you. Thank you, that's all for now.
Do you think his replacement has the necessary experience
to lead such an important investigation?
He's not even here and he's still causing me grief.
Where are we on Colvin?
Hospital cleared him.
We'll conduct the formal interview this morning.
- House search? - Nothing we can use.
- What about the murder weapon? - Still looking.
So, apart from being able to place him at the scene,
along with a few hundred others, you've got nothing?
We found blood in his car.
Not a lot. Inside the boot. We'll get the results in an hour.
It could be Colvin's blood.
Or it could be Annie's.
Christ, I hope it is.
DCI Banks has taken some personal leave.
Yes, but he was responsible
for the injuries sustained by your suspect?
Thank you, that's all for now. Thank you.
Do you think his replacement has the...
Your boss doesn't look too happy.
The bloke you arrested,
is he the one who...
Yes and no.
What's that supposed to mean?
Someone ordered him to do it.
I thought it was a mugging?
It was made to look like one.
So who ordered him then?
His name's Steven Richards.
How come you haven't arrested him?
Don't have proof.
Then find some.
Well, what do you think I've been trying to do for the last three days?
And now I'm "on leave",
which means I'm not allowed anywhere near the case.
Oh, that's bollocks, that is.
Look, we're talking about Annie here.
- I did what I could, Dad. - Right.
Well, that's what counts.
Anyone remember Charlie Franklin?
He used to work for Steven Richards.
Yeah, I remember him.
Well, according to the lab, it's his blood in Stuart Colvin's car.
How the hell did that happen?
Charlie Franklin's been missing for over a week now.
His sister, Liz Telford,
filed a miss-per report yesterday morning.
Liz thinks something's happened to her baby brother.
- Like what? - Like he's dead.
Although, it could just be he's upped sticks.
Franklin's got a history of moving about.
The blood in Colvin's car was supposed to be a match to Annie.
It was supposed to give us the physical evidence we needed
to link Colvin to her murder.
And now all we've got
is one blurry CCTV photo and circumstantial evidence.
Colvin's arrived.
This is a CCTV image of a man on Barstock Road
the night DS Cabbot was murdered.
It's near to where her body was found,
and the time-code shows he was there around the time she died.
Could that be you, Stuart?
That could be anyone.
Were you on Barstock Road three nights ago?
Don't remember.
Well, the ANPR system clocked your car in the city centre at 8:24pm.
Less than an hour before DS Cabbot died.
And the ANPR also picked up your car later in Chapeltown at 10:48pm,
at this location,
not 100 metres from where we recovered the bag that was stolen from DS Cabbot.
What were you doing in Chapeltown?
Driving.
Did you stop in Chapeltown?
Would you?
You made a call at 9:12 that night, to a "pay as you go" number.
I don't remember making any calls.
Was it to Steven Richards?
I don't know who that is.
You and Steven Richards were at The Crosslands Clinic in February 2006.
My time at the rehab clinic is a bit of a blur, I'm afraid.
What about Charlie Franklin?
Who?
We found his blood in your car.
Can you tell us how it got there?
You know,
I bought that car, must be, six months ago.
Could be the previous owner knows something about it.
The auction place'll have all the paperwork.
Give 'em a call.
And tell them I'll be down to buy myself a new one soon.
What with your boss driving me off the road and all,
must be a bit of compensation coming my way, what?
You picked a nice spot for her.
We need to talk.
Nothing to talk about.
How about Stuart Colvin?
Was he hired to kill Annie? Hired by your husband?
- I don't know what you're on about. - Come on, Tamsin.
- Help me here. - Let go of me.
It must be hard, living in constant denial,
pretending he's not the monster everyone says he is.
Or do the money and clothes help?
You know nothing about my life.
I know your husband kills people.
Annie had a daughter, Tamsin!
Er, hi, we're looking for Liz Telford.
She's my wife.
Yeah, I'm DI Morton. This is DC Blackstone.
We're here to talk to her about her brother.
I knew it. I knew something was up.
Well, we don't know anything for certain, Liz.
Right now, Charlie's still missing and we hope to find him.
When was the last time you saw him?
He dropped by Thursday morning.
How was he? Well, his mood I mean?
The same as he always was. Happy.
He had no problems or worries?
I told you, he was happy.
Was he planning on taking any trips?
Think I'd report him missing if he was going off on his holidays?
Anyway, he wouldn't leave. Not now.
Why not now?
Liz is ill. Cancer.
Because of the chemo, she needs a bone marrow transplant.
Charlie were a match.
He was due to donate his marrow two days ago.
Liz was waiting at the hospital for Charlie to show but...
He wouldn't let me down.
Charlie had been working recently?
For some businessman.
- Steven Richards. - D'you know Steven Richards?
Charlie never talked about him.
- No. Doesn't ring a bell. - Why?
What's this Richards got to do with my brother disappearing?
We're just trying to get a full picture.
Well, try this for a picture, love.
Charlie's my last chance.
Either you find him soon, or I'm done for.
- The sister seems genuine. - Yeah, but not the brother-in-law.
Richards is throwing up flats all over the city.
Yet the bloke who owns a skip hire business
says he's never heard of him.
Hmm, let's check him out.
And I want Franklin's flat searched.
Banks.
It's Richards. We need to talk.
I'd rather we did it face to face.
Thought it best to do it in public.
Last time you and I were together, you tried to put me through a wall.
Shame I was stopped.
Turning up at the grave today,
it was a cheap move.
I expected more from you.
Delighted to disappoint you.
My old man used to trade here.
Sold flowers over there in the corner.
He was a proper character.
Everybody loved him.
A terrible businessman.
I used to think he was failure.
No ambition.
Now I realise that he was just an ordinary bloke
looking out for his own.
Do let me know when you have a point.
You need to stay away from Tamsin.
And what happens if I don't?
You really don't wanna know.
I remember your dad.
And he wasn't 'loved'.
He was a drunk and a thief and a low-life scumbag
just like his low life scumbag son.
And you can threaten me as much as you want,
but I am not going away.
So what we got?
Clothes in the wardrobe,
food in the fridge, and a brand new pair of trainers delivered this morning.
Nothing to suggest Franklin was taking a trip anywhere.
If he left, he left in a hurry.
Which would be understandable considering the amount of debt he's in.
Franklin's fond of a casino or two.
Credit cards are all maxed out.
That's just the half of it.
Charlie Franklin owes money to just about every loan shark in the city.
I know a croupier at The Brunswick Casino,
says Charlie's a regular but no-one's seen him for days.
What about his call records?
His mobile provider confirms his phone was active up until Thursday evening
and then everything stopped.
Well, that tallies with the sister.
Can we get a time and location on the last call Franklin made?
Funeral notice for Kat Richards.
The same day Franklin went missing.
So if Franklin went to the service,
it might well've been the last time he was seen before he disappeared.
What, you think something happened there?
It's worth considering.
Vince, let's find out who Franklin owes money to.
Boss?
Breakfast roll, extra sauce and a tea.
Thanks. How you bearing up?
What happened with Colvin?
Interview drew a blank. Fair chance he'll get released.
You can't release him.
We don't have anything on him or at least nothing concrete.
Forensics didn't find anything?
They found something.
But it kind of led us down a different path.
What path?
Here, here. Let me help you.
My name's Alan Banks. You spoke to my colleagues this morning.
- This about Charlie? - This is about Jack.
I had more on my mind than who was or wasn't at the funeral.
I was burying my daughter.
So you don't remember seeing Franklin?
I don't remember much of anything.
He may've been there.
The church was packed.
Steve has a lot of friends.
When did you last see Franklin?
Day after Kat died maybe.
I spoke to him.
Told him he was sacked, and that we didn't want him around any more.
Charlie Franklin let us down.
Right, so, er, how come you're the one asking all the questions now?
Because I'm leading this investigation.
Oh, yeah, does, er, Banks know that?
Mmm-hmm. DCI Banks is aware, yeah.
Because this is the, er, second time Tamsin's been questioned today.
So you spoke to DCI Banks?
Oh, you lot are a bloody shambles.
My husband isn't a liar.
Anyone working in the building trade around here knows Richards.
And Jack would've been well aware that Charlie was working for him.
This man, Richards, he's violent and he's ruthless.
He just lost his daughter recently
and he blames two people for her death.
Me and your brother.
- Charlie can handle himself. - No!
Richards is way out of Charlie's league.
Richards already had one of my officers killed.
You think Charlie's dead.
And you think Jack knows he's dead.
I'm not listening to this.
Liz.
Let me give you a lift.
- I can manage! - Please.
I've got a location on the last call Franklin received on Thursday.
It pinged off a tower in Gipton.
- So what was Franklin doing in Gipton? - I'm thinking he was here.
Development site owned by Steven Richards.
They just broke ground on a bunch of executive flats last week.
Got to admit,
A construction site's a pretty good place to hide a body.
- We don't know Franklin's dead. - Not looking good though, is it?
Let's go and take a look.
It's a big area.
Okay. Let's do it.
We'll need the works, full search team, dog unit, the ground penetrating radar.
I hope to God we find something.
This officer, the one who died.
- Her name was Annie. - Were you close?
Fifteen years me and Jack been together.
I thought I knew everything there was to know about him...
Thursday night, about 3:00 in the morning,
Jack got a call.
He said it was the police.
He said the yard had been broken into
and he had to go down there to check things out.
Happens a lot.
Kids messing about.
Didn't get back till 7:00 in the morning.
He said he had to wait for a lock-smith.
But I could tell something was up.
Later on, I found him in the bathroom...
...crying his eyes out.
Fifteen years...
...I've never seen Jack cry.
Not a single tear.
Even when his mum died. Nothing.
So, I'm asking myself,
what possibly could've happened that night to scare him so much?
Yeah, it's me.
He's just going in now. What d'you want us to do?
What's the overtime on this?
I'm trying not to think about it.
Anderson's here.
Are you sure you've got enough resources here, DI Morton?
Well, it's a very big area, sir.
Have you found anything?
Not yet.
Well, at least you've given that lot something to point their cameras at.
- Well, we'll do another sweep... - No. You'll shut it down.
Shut it down now, DI Morton.
All units! Stand down!
So how goes the big dig?
Oh, come on, we've all blown the overtime budget
on a wild goose chase.
No don't, don't do that.
Don't pretend you're not happy about this.
About what?
Me, falling flat on my face.
- That's not true. - Yes, it is.
You don't think I'm up to leading an investigation.
I think there are areas you could improve upon.
Like what?
You can be a little too rigid.
When am I rigid?
You get caught up in detail.
Yes, because this job is 90 percent detail.
And the other ten percent is instinct.
Going with your gut.
I'm fed up with you lot and your guts.
You're all so proud of your hunches and your feelings.
It's like a bloody therapy session half the time.
Well, guess what?
Expressing your feelings at work isn't healthy.
It's unprofessional.
And you wanna know how I feel about Annie?
I'm furious with her!
She met the wife of a violent criminal, on her own, without any back up.
She didn't even tell you.
She just waltzed on over there, the stupid blood...
You place such a premium on going with your gut.
Well, Annie went with her gut.
It got her killed.
I went with my gut on Richards' building site.
Sometimes your gut is wrong.
Great. Now you tell me.
You were right about Annie.
She was reckless.
And she was stubborn and I suppose I encouraged it in her.
It's not your fault.
No? You wanna know what I did last night?
I broke into Telford's yard.
And I came that close to having my skull cracked open by Richards' thugs.
- Did you find anything? - A newly laid concrete floor and this...
It's a casino chip.
It's Charlie Franklin's casino chip.
What's the drill for, Mr Telford?
Search officers have found invoices and contracts
relating to Richards' building projects in Telford's site office.
So, Telford knows Richards.
Results are in on the casino chip.
They found a few prints
and they've confirmed the most recent belong to Charlie Franklin.
Yes!
But even if it was his casino chip,
it doesn't prove he was anywhere near Telford's yard.
Oh, Franklin was there.
And I'm betting his body's under that shed floor.
Well, we'll soon find out.
Search team are about to dig up the concrete.
What about the call Telford took on the night that Franklin went missing?
Pay as you go.
But it's the same number Colvin called the night Annie died.
This is it. This is our connection.
You get Telford to confirm that that number belongs to Richards
and we can link him to Annie's murder.
Call came in at three in the morning.
You told Liz it was the police. A break-in at the yard,
but we've no record of officers attending the yard on that night.
So, someone else must've called you.
Who called you?
Do you recognise this, Jack? It's a casino chip.
It's worth £10. We found it in your yard.
Now, we know your brother-in-law, Charlie, often frequents casinos.
Sir.
And we also found his fingerprint on this chip.
It belongs to him.
How did get into your shed?
He must've dropped it. He comes down the yard sometimes.
Was he there on Thursday night?
No.
Are you sure about that?
We've got officers searching your shed.
They're digging up the floor.
Now, what d'you think they're gonna find under all that fresh concrete?
He said it were my fault.
He said because it were me who had vouched for him,
I'd have to take care of it.
All I did were put in a good word for Charlie.
He needed a job. And so I got him one.
Who said this, Jack?
He phones me.
Tells me to get down the yard.
I get down there and there's this... There's this bloke.
He's...
Proper scary and he's got Charlie in the boot of his car.
Like a piece of luggage.
I could see he were dead...
Was this him?
He said we had to get rid of Charlie's body.
He said we had to bury it.
So, I broke up the floor in the shed.
It took me two hours to drill it out.
We put Charlie in the hole.
I mixed up a new batch of concrete then er...
Poured it over the top of him.
The phone-call. The one that told you to go to the shed.
Who was it?
I need you to say the name.
Steven Richards.
Bring him in.
Sir.
What about Colvin? We're just about to release him.
Ken's sorting it.
- Come to wave me off have you? - Yeah. About that.
I'm afraid there's been some developments.
You won't get him.
Steven always gets to walk away.
Maybe not this time.
Maybe if you were to help us we could stop him.
We'd protect you, Tamsin.
Like you protected Annie?
There's plenty of time to challenge him later.
Don't get into a scrap.
- Go at him with Franklin first... - Boss!
She knows what she's doing.
The time is 16:43. Detective Inspector Helen Morton.
With me is Detective Constable Ken Blackstone.
Do you know Jack Telford?
Er, I know he runs a skip business.
When d'you last speak to him?
Really no idea.
Did you speak to him recently?
No.
So you didn't call him last week?
No.
Are you sure about that?
He answered the question. Move on.
Okay.
Well, Mr Telford stated that you called him on his mobile
at 3:00 am last Friday morning.
And that you told Mr Telford to meet Stuart Colvin
at his skip hire business on Gartmore Road.
No, that's not true.
Mr Telford also says that you instructed him and Colvin
to bury Charlie Franklin on his premises.
How do you respond to that?
The man's lying.
So, you didn't force Mr Telford to meet with Stuart Colvin?
No, I don't know who this Colvin bloke is.
Why would Mr Telford lie?
My client is not a psychologist, DI Morton, you can't...
Hang, hang on a second...
Jack Telford, his, his wife, she's, er, she's ill, bless her.
Well, she's got some sort of, erm, it's cancer?
You know, cancer's a stressful business,
and, you know, sometimes, the, the partner feels it the most.
Maybe Telford's not coping.
Maybe he has this run-in with Franklin, kills him, buries his body in the yard
and then you lot come along and he gets scared
and concocts this story about me and this Colvin
as a way of deflecting his own guilt.
But you don't know Colvin. You never met him.
It seems odd that Mr Telford
would 'concoct' a link between two strangers.
We've a record of the call that Mr Telford received that night.
And it was from this mobile number.
D'you recognise the number?
No.
It's the same number that Stuart Colvin called the night DS Cabbot was murdered.
We would like to request a short break.
- For what reason? - I need to confer with my client.
I have further questions.
Which you can ask when we resume.
- Nadir's messing us about. - Well, that's only because he's worried.
You know, you did a really great job in there.
Yeah.
Be a lot better if we could link Richards to the "pay as you go".
Well, what about the search of his house?
- Vince is liaising with them. - Well, see if they've got anything.
What was that about?
Well, just because she's a lawyer doesn't mean she's off limits.
Hey, David?
They asked me to come in and er, collect Annie's stuff.
- I could've brought that... - I wanted to get out.
How's Isla?
She's like her mum.
Strong.
And you?
You're gonna get the bastard, right?
I promise you, we will.
Right.
I should...
Banks.
Colvin's making a statement.
She was distracted...
I went for her bag. She put up a fight and...
I killed DS Cabbot.
And I was acting alone when I did it.
The knife I used, I dropped down a drain on Kirkgate Road.
It's probably still there now.
And the call you made that night?
It must've been a mistake.
What about Charlie Franklin?
Charlie owed me money.
We had an argument. It got violent.
I needed to get rid of the body so I went to his brother-in-law's yard.
And his brother-in-law says Steven Richards called
and ordered him to help you bury Franklin's body.
He's lying.
As with the copper, I was acting alone when I killed Franklin.
Why are you doing this?
I'm racked with guilt.
- He's taking the fall. - He's taking the piss.
Release Richards now.
- Ah, sir! - You have the confession.
Colvin's a hired gun. He's just doing what he was told.
Richards is the one responsible for their deaths.
Then find a way to prove it.
A 49 year-old man will appear in court today
charged with the murder of DS Annie Cabbot.
The man from the Leeds area
will also be charged with the murder of Charles Franklin.
- He called you as well? - What's it about?
You look like the living dead.
I need you both to sit down.
- D'you want anything? - Helen. Please.
What's going on, Ken?
I spent the night in the office going through some of our recent cases.
Why?
Looking for something.
Something I hoped I wouldn't find.
Get to the point, Ken.
It's funny how Steven Richards always seems to be one step ahead of us.
Not by much, but just enough.
Boss!
- What is this? The welcoming party? - We need to have a word.
Richards' building site at Gipton.
What about it?
Why did you lie about Franklin's phone registering there?
I checked.
Last call pinged off a tower the other side of Leeds.
You led us to that site at Gipton.
- I... I must've made a mistake. - Right.
Colvin's confession wasn't a mistake though, was it?
That was timed to perfection.
Just when we were about to crack Richards.
I saw you talking to Colvin's solicitor last night.
And she's not the only one you've been talking to recently, is she?
An unknown number keeps coming up on your records.
Multiple calls at all times of the day.
You wanna tell us who's been calling you?
I get lots of calls.
Let's ring it then, shall we?
All right, all right.
Why?
Does it matter?
It matters.
After Mum died, Dad got back into boxing.
That's where he met Richards.
They became good mates.
My dad was still drinking back then.
And one night he hurt this guy, put him in hospital.
And the guy was all set to go to the police
until Richards stepped in.
Of course, I didn't, I didn't know any of this at the time.
Richards told me once I joined the force.
He made it clear if I didn't cooperate,
my dad was going to prison.
So, you just fell into line?
I was looking out for my dad.
And what about Annie?
She was your colleague.
Boss, I'm sorry.
Ken.
I'm sorry.
Tomorrow morning, we come back to work and we start again.
And we keep doing that until we get Richards.
And then what?
Even if we get him, he'll always have an edge.
A slick lawyer. A corrupt cop.
Some low life willing to stand up and take the fall for him.
Look at us.
We've sacrificed our marriages, our families, our lives.
We have no life, you and me.
We're sad people.
Speak for yourself.
I used to think the sacrifice was worth it.
Richards killed our friend and walked away from it.
And the fact that he can do that makes everything we stand for worthless.
Your search team made a mess of things.
Where's Tamsin?
She's gone.
I'm sensing some tension, Alan.
Why d'you kill Annie?
I have to know.
What does it matter, she's dead. So's Kat.
Don't bring Kat into this. What happened to her was different.
You had Annie killed.
The least you can do is let me know why.
Because I could.
Now I wanna know why?
Because he was protecting me.
Tamsin, you need to go.
Now you need to leave now.
No, Steven. No more.
We told Franklin not to come to the funeral.
Steven warned him.
But he came round to the house instead.
He waited until I was alone.
Wanted it to be just me and him.
Thought I'd go soft on him.
He asked me to get Steven to forgive him.
And what he didn't realise is that it wasn't Steven who wanted revenge.
You killed Franklin.
Right here in this kitchen.
Steven took care of it when he came home.
He took care of me.
I loved him for that.
You don't have to be strong to kill someone.
Where you need strength is afterwards. To block out the guilt.
And that's where I fell down.
It just ate me up.
And so I turned to Annie.
I didn't know Colvin was following me.
But he was outside.
Must have read the signs and called Steven.
And Steven isn't one for taking chances.
I got her killed.
She died because I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
Helen, come on.
It's time we got the drinks in.
Sounds like a plan.
DI Morton?
I'll see you down there.
Sir.
Here.
- It's a DCI post. - An opening's come up in Vice.
They need you to start right away.
You'll need to let Banks know.
No. I don't think I will.
- He'll need to be informed. - No. I mean,
I won't be taking up the post.
The team's been through a lot
and we don't need any more changes right now.
Thank you.
So it seems you told David you wanted to leave your body to medical science.
He says you were serious but it sounds to me
like you were a few glasses down at the time.
Anyway, the point is,
I don't have a place for you, nowhere that I can come and talk to you.
So, I chose this.
I hope you like it.
David and Isla are coping as best they can.
David said he wants me to get to know Isla.
To talk to her about you.
I think I can do that.
As for me?
I miss you, Annie.
