Gary, we're NUM. This was
predominantly a UDM village.

A break-away union.

They didn't support the strike.

- No.
- No!

But you know what folk are saying,
though, right?

That someone's targeting
striking miners.

I mean, who's next? Am I next?

I think they're aiming at me.

Can you think of anyone or any
reason why someone might do this?

That was a horrible...

THUD!

- Armed police!
- Armed police!

Mr Rowley, Scott k*lled Gary and we
need to know why,

so we can prevent what
he's planning on doing next.

Do you know what a spy cop is?

Undercover cops in the what?
's and ' s?

Well, they were following orders and
they buggered off when it all ended.

Apparently, this undercover officer
didn't bugger off.

This was someone who assumed an
identity.

Moved here in the ' s.

Spied on people, and then remained
here - to this day.

JULIE: What are you doing, Ian?

Little Ian St Clair all dressed up.

LAUGHTER AND JEERING

- You should be ashamed. Ashamed!
- Just think how proud your dad would be.

Think how much fun you'd have
if you was on this side.

Don't we look fun?
MIMICS KISSING

PROTESTOR: Let's get to it, eh?

JULIE: Oh, Gary. Gary!

- No, Gary. No, no.
- Come on. Come on, lads.

Shut up, the lot of yous! Shut up. Gary!

CHANTING: We're miners. United.
We'll never be defeated.

We're miners. United.
We'll never be defeated.

ALL: We're miners. United.
We'll never be defeated.

Right, then, lads.

CHANTING: We're miners. United.
We'll never be defeated.

We're miners. United.
We'll never be defeated.

Armed police, make a line!

CHANTING CONTINUES

PICKETS SHOUT

SHOUTING CONTINUES

SHOUTS

Get off of me! Get off me!

- Get off him!
- Get off me!

Stop! Stop! Get off him!

SHOUTING FADES INTO MUSIC

SAD MUSIC PLAYS

ST CLAIR: The man
we'd like to talk to urgently

is Scott Rowley, years old.

And I believe Mr Rowley is residing

in the woods around Annesley,
Newstead and Hucknall.

We believe he's on foot.

And our officers are searching
numerous locations

based on our own intelligence

and from sightings
by members of the public.

And with that, I want
to stress that the public

should not approach Scott
if they see him...

he's armed and dangerous.

So if you come across his whereabouts,

please call instead.

And now, I'd like to invite Catherine...

Cathy Rowley...

...who is Scott's stepmother,

and she'd like to appeal
to Scott directly.

Scott...

CLEARS HER THROAT

I feel silly being the one here.

Silly's the wrong word,
looking at it now.

Presumptuous?

Speaking to you.

If you're listening.

Cos I know I'm only your stepmother,

but I feel like we could always talk,

me and you.

Even though I feel split in two about...

what has happened to my old family

and what's happening now to my new one,

I want you to know...

...that the best thing to do
is to hand yourself in.

And if you do,
everything will be better.

I know you're upset and you're confused.

I know you are.

But, please, can you come in?

For everyone.

ST CLAIR: Thank you, Cathy.

We're appealing to members of the public

for any information they might have,
and they can contact us...


MAN: How are you, mate?
NEEL: All right, mate.

- Dad?
- Hi.

CLEARS HIS THROAT

Present from darkest Manchester.

Thank you.

You look like sh*t.

Yeah, I'm a bit under the weather.
I've asked for the day off.

I saw it in the station up there.

It's for your mouse.

Your computer?

You still have a mouse, don't you?

HE CHUCKLES

They knocked down
this Victorian frontage

in the s, of course,

for the electrification of the line.

Shame, in a way, but... there we are.

Listen, erm, don't worry
about the other night.

- You know, the thing?
- Oh.

That's...

- Aye.
- Yeah.

Why don't you come round
for a cup of tea or something later?

Why don't you?

Aye.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I'll see you later.

Honey?

Sarah...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Help!

NEEL SCREAMS

NEEL SHOUTS AND SCREAMS

NEEL CONTINUES SHOUTING

Mrs Sparrow.

You know, round our neck of the woods,

which happens to be
your neck of the woods,

when you wrongly accuse someone
of something,

you ask them for forgiveness.

Well, I'd like to express regret
for any inconvenience caused

and to say thank you for helping us
with our inquiries.

Daphne...

...did Scott ever visit
your archery range?

Sorry, am I being questioned
without a solicitor?

You're not being questioned.
It's just a question.

Did he learn from you lot
how to use a bow and that?

Did he... did he buy
his arrows from you?

God, my mind's gone absolute blank.

Sorry.

That's it, then?

This lad's lost his marbles,
and you've got to catch him.

- That's all there is to it.
- RORY: Ey up.

Hey, what's that song?

Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.

Oh, don't worry.
What is it your dad said?

There's plenty of things
we could send you down for.

- You all right?
- Yeah.

Well done.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING

Ian, two ticks. I need you at
this Safety Advisory Group.

There's a Forest match tonight.

- Well, I'm in the middle of this.
- Quick second.

A Yorkshire team in Nottingham
can get a bit dicey,

but nowt that our ground team
don't handle a dozen times a year.

Sorry, it's been a while
since I've been to the match.

You're not saying that away fans
still shout that at Forest, are you?

My counterpart at Barnsley says
that they don't condone it

and they are actively trying to stop
it, but there's still a tradition.

When certain Yorkshire teams
play Nottingham Forest,

a chant has often times come
from their fans over to ours.

Scabs, yeah.

Also, we're picking up
some stuff online.

Some fans are planning to divert
to Gary's village today,

sort of an on-the-hoof memorial service

for their fallen comrade
this side of the border.

OK.

With old NUM members
incoming, and with passions

running extra high,
I say we be extra vigilant.

I mean, you could move the level up
from category B to category C...

Higher risk.

But that means you need to bump
up your number of officers.

I'm not diverting my men from a
manhunt. Are you kidding?

You saw the size of the area
I have to deal with.

Ey up, it's Barnsley fans
that are the problem.

Why not get Yorkshire coppers down here?

You cannot have a neighbouring force
march into our county

to help with a crisis caused
in no small part

with a happening years ago.

Well, then, we need some
numbers from your manhunt.

What choice do we have?

JULIE: Have you caught him?

No, not yet. Might take some time.

I just wanted to, erm...

We think some of Gary's friends,

NUM, you know, from north of the border

might be paying the village a visit.

Out of respect, but I, um...

What? Do you think they might not
exactly be respectful?

Right. Well...

What do you want me to do about it?

Nothing necessarily, just...
PHONE BUZZES

I just wanted you to be aware, you know?

Right. Well, yeah.

OK, thank you. Yeah, I'm aware.

Listen, erm...

Did Gary ever talk about his
meetings with his solicitor?

Cos we think he might have been
looking for someone.

Looking for someone?

Someone he thought was a copper here
in the ' s, undercover.

Someone who was linked
to his wrongful arrest.

Well, he mentioned...
that he was looking into...

I mean, I didn't take it seriously,

but he was looking into some sort of spy

in the village. But...

I was just like, you know,

"Come off it, you daft ha'p'orth.”

Did he mention a name?

Is that why you think he was k*lled?

No.

PHONE BUZZES

No, just...

...following up every line of
inquiry, you know?

Oh, God, what is it now?

Ah, sir. It's, er...

The body was discovered by her husband,

who's next door with his dad.

- Her name is Sarah.
- Sarah Vincent.

I was at her wedding at the weekend.

Oh. Sorry, sir.

Oh, no, no. I didn't know-her know her.

You know, she's just
a colleague of my wife.

Andrew Fisher is her father-in-law.

- What, the train driver?
- The body is stiff.

It looks like she was probably
k*lled sometime yesterday afternoon

to late evening, but the PM
will help narrow that down.

And this spade's the m*rder w*apon?

Yeah, I'd say so.

There's matching blood and hair
stuck to it.

It looks like the edge penetrated
her skull with some force.

There's no prints so far.

Signs of forced entry?

Actually, no. None at all.

So maybe she let 'em in.

Or they let themselves in.

And there's a connection to Scott.

She's the daughter-in-law
of one of the other targets.

Or it's an entirely unrelated homicide.

What, a place like this?

One m*rder every blue moon.

Now we're at two in a matter of days,

and they're entirely unconnected?

Andy.

Neel, I'm so sorry.

Is it him? The same guy who sh*t
his thing at me? Why?

- Why would he?
- Look, I...

So I believe you found her this morning.

So you weren't at home
last night or yesterday?

HE SNIFFS
I've been away a couple of days.

I've come back today.

I just walked in and I f*cking saw
her on the floor...

And I... And I...
And I heard Neel screaming.

This is me. I live next door.

Did you go round via the garden?

Yeah.

And you... you didn't hear anything,

like, late afternoon, early evening?

No, nothing. There was nothing.

Neel, I'm sorry, but...

...I've got to ask some questions.

Yeah. I don't bloody care. Just ask.

Well, there's a spade in the kitchen.

Right.

Right, I have no clue
where that came from.

I've never seen it in my life.

We're doing up the garden,
though, so it might be theirs.

Yeah, but it doesn't look like it's
been used, brand-new, so...

Well, she bought it herself,
then. She was...

She was ordering this stuff online.

It would have to have arrived
on Wednesday, then, yesterday,

if she had it delivered.

...I don't know. I suppose.

- Why?
- Well, if she...

Well, forgive me,
but if she ordered her own...

Well, yeah, the w*apon that...

Then that might help narrow
the window a bit, yeah?

Was, erm...

Was the front door locked
when you got here this morning?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

She was proper security conscious.

She...

She locked the front door
even if we were in.

Right, and what about
the back patio doors?

No, actually, they were unlocked.

So someone could have left
through those back doors,

then gone through the gap
in the fence and then...

What, through here?

No. Don't know.

Do you have the name of the builders?

Yeah.

There's a card on the kitchen
counter top next door.

All right.

All right?

Seven days.

Less than seven days married, Dad...
HE SOBS

All right, all right, it's all right.

Neel, did either you or Sarah...

Did you know Scott Rowley?

I don't know who that is.

It's the guy who k*lled that man on...

Sunday, the one on the loose that nearly
bloody well got me with a...

It's got to be him, right?

Yeah, but, if anything,

this Gary was on the opposite,
like, side to Sarah's family.

Her dad used to bus working miners
through striking pickets.

They were his coaches.

So they're not the same at all,
like, politically.

Well...

DOOR SHUTS

This is dated yesterday -
missed delivery.

It could be the spade -
"too large to post".

It might have gone
to one of the neighbours

who maybe dropped it back here later.

Well, including you, I suppose.

- You obviously didn't sign for it.
- No. No.

Right.

When did it happen?

I've no idea when,
we only just noticed it.

It must have been in the early hours.

Poor thing. Sickening.

Do you have any security cameras?

No. Just inside.

Should I be worried?

Should we even be open?

We don't believe
there's any immediate thr*at,

but we will get
as many officers down here

as possible to canvass the area.

On a usual day like this...
LINE RINGS

Boss, you're not going to believe this.

Talk to you later.

There's been another arrow
att*ck - Newstead Abbey.

Anyone hurt?

- Peacock.
- A peacock?

Yeah, a peacock - feathers, beak.

Listen, did you have to talk
so openly in front of them?

She might have ordered
her own m*rder w*apon?

Jesus.

Were you not interested
to gauge their reaction?

They're suspects, too. Prime suspects.

Yeah, but there are ways.

And as the SIO,
I expect you to follow my lead.

Yeah, all right. Sorry. Yeah.

I'll get my guys to check out the alibi.

- You worried?
- About what?

Well, like you say,

this doesn't follow the pattern
of the first m*rder.

Gary was a striking miner k*lled by
the son of a working miner.

Now we have the daughter
of a working miner,

or one of their main allies
back then, dead a few hours later.

Revenge?

Well, that's quite a leap.

True or not,
it's what people will believe,

and that's a massive problem.

CAR DOOR SHUTS

Yes?

Hello.
SHE SNIFFLES

You... You probably don't
remember me. It's cos...

well, I haven't...

I'm Julie.

My husband passed at the weekend.

I'm, erm...

I'm so sorry.

Can I, erm... can I make
you a cup of tea?

No, I'm not staying.

Thank you. Erm...

Sorry, I've not... I've not come to...

I've not come to talk about his...

Funeral?

Erm...

They've, erm...
The police have him still.

So I've no idea, you know,
when they'll, you know.

Look, I don't know how things
run here, but I've been told

that quite a lot of my husband's
old pals, I suppose,

are travelling down here
to mark his passing.

But there's nowhere for them to do that.

And I'm worried that they'll...

They'll just go
and get tanked up at the pub.

And the church opposite us is being
used by the police, so...

This afternoon?

Yeah.

It's just somewhere for them to be.

Like I say, I hate...

I hate to ask, but...

Of course.

Of course, we can...
We can welcome them here.

It will be our pleasure.

Right. Erm...

Well, I'll... I'll herd them your way.

I'll be here.

There you are, son.

SALISBURY: My guys are in touch

with the delivery company
about the spade.

If we can get the time
that the package arrived

and maybe the name
of the driver, then...

PHONE RINGS
Sorry, sorry.

- I've got to take this.
- Yeah, yeah, sure.

I'm so sorry, love.

HELEN: What's happening? That poor girl!

Who would do this? That same lad or...?

Oh, we'll find out.

- I might be late.
- I-I-I...

SHE EXHALES
I'm actually shaking.

Wait. sh*t! We meant to... Bollocks!

We invited Jenny and Jacob
to dinner tonight.

I... I-I'll have to cancel. I'll...

SHE SHUDDERS

OK, I'll erm...

I'll cancel.

Well, see how you feel, huh?

I mean, it might be good
to have some old friends round.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Mrs Rowley, sorry about this.

There are some, erm, visitors
heading this way

from the north.

From the north? What north?

Gary Jackson's old union.

It's like an impromptu memorial thing.

But DCS St Clair has suggested,
as a precaution,

that you come with us
to the parish hall,

where we have officers stationed.

It's just for safety.

If there's a memorial,
shouldn't we be going?

I won't hide. We've done nowt. Nowt.

Yeah, I should be going.
He was my brother-in-law.

I mean, what are the rules
for this sort of thing?

I don't know what I'm meant
to be doing, Fred.

Will you stop saying that
and just get in the car?

Do as you're told!

ST CLAIR: So we have a second victim.

Sarah Vincent, now Fisher.

So, did you know her?
Did Scott know her?

- No.
- What about Newstead Abbey?

Is that a place of significance
for you or Scott?

Why are you asking about Newstead?

Did you ever visit it as a family?

No, we never really did
that kind of thing.

Family...

Can I ask a question?

Over £ , ,

just sat there in an account
of a young man

with no training,
no qualifications, no job,

still living at home with his parents.

That's not a question.

Why didn't he spend it?
Who was he keeping it for?

What? You never asked?

You ever talk about it?

I mean, it was your redundancy,
wasn't it?

He resented him having it, that's why.

He only gave it to him
to stop his ex-wife having it

- during the divorce.
- Not the only reason.

What, your ex-wife being Scott's mother?

Yeah.

She lives over in Bestwood.

It's a pit village
other side of the woods.

Well, former pit village.

And what was Scott's relationship
like with his mother?

Would he go there?

SCOFFING: Oh, for...

She's his mother.

When we split up, I weren't in a...

In a good way, you know?

Didn't think I could look
after him, like, you know...

Pits had just closed.

She was having it off
with another fella, and, erm...

Scott would be about three or four.

So I sent him off to be with her.

I thought it'd be best for him.

A change. But it didn't work out.

I don't know why, he didn't settle.

Well, you do know.

Cos the new fella's kids
didn't get on with Scott.

So then she didn't want him.

You didn't want him.
She didn't want him.

So, you know, he's not stupid, is he?

Kids know things.

You never wanted him.

I tried... so hard.

Harder than you or her ever did.

Gary Jackson reckoned

there was an undercover cop
in the village,

came under a false name and stayed.

You ever heard about that?

HE MUMBLES

Have you always lived here, Fred?

Me?

Um...

Well, um, you know, I was transferred

over from Shirebrook
to Annesley Pit in...

...must have been ' ,
you know, by the Coal Board.

Never been in the police, though.

Not that I've owt against the police.

You know, you lot, you kept us all
going, earning a living,

you know, clearing the path
to the pit so we could work.

And I know how hard that was.

For you.

Folk don't talk about that, do they?

Not you, coming up, earning a few
quid, knock a few heads together

and piss off again, but, you...

Well, we all know.

Those of us who remember.

And what else is there to do
round here but remember?

What else is there to do?

You know, a mining family
like yours was well liked

around here, respected, and, you know,

to be a policeman from a family
like that at a time like that...

Well...

I get it. You... you know
what it feels like

to be ostracised, I suppose,

you know, by certain people.

You know, and the choices
you have to make

over how to carry...
How to... How to just survive!

And... who to survive it with.

ST CLAIR: I almost feel sorry
for a kid growing up like that,

but the emphasis firmly on the almost.

I mean, we've got two dead -
former miner, councillor...

And then the arrows, you know?

And a train, a solicitor
and a f*cking peacock.

I mean, what's he up to?
What's his pattern?

I didn't know that, about your family.


But you don't, you know...

Was it because
of what happened that night?

Let's not.

I was so young back then.

Well, we were both so young.

Younger than my boy now.

Do you think they know, at that age...

I didn't. I mean, you don't, do you?

...quite how beautifully,
wonderfully young you are?

Quite how many things it's
possible to do with your life...

at that point?

And that you should be so happy
and excited about it all?

The man we'd like to speak
urgently to is Scott Rowley,

years old.

Now, I believe Mr Rowley is residing
in the woods around Annesley,

Newstead and Hucknall.

We believe he's on foot.

Our officers are searching
numerous locations

based on our own intelligence

and from sightings by
members of the public.

And with that, I want to stress...

PEN CLICKS

ECHOING: We're miners. United.

We'll never be defeated.
INDISTINCT SHOUTING

We're miners. United.
We'll never be defeated.

- Reception committee's here early.
- Yeah.

All right, boys and girls,
mind your p's and q's.

Get those banners out. That'll do...

That's it.

Come on, lads.

Is the banner really necessary?

Well, this were Gary's union.

He gave his life to it.

Maybe literally, even.

- That's it, pull it tight.
- It's a mark of respect.

Yeah. That's it.

Yeah. All right.

- Right. Here we go.
- Ready?

Remember why we're here.
It's for Gary. Come on.

REVEREND: It's, a...

Well, it's, a testimony to Gary...

...how you were all able
to mobilise at short notice

to honour him here today.

It's clear that he is a man
who meant a lot

to a lot of people.

To family and friends,

but also simply to people who share

a heritage.

Because...

...I suppose that's the thing
about people,

is they're always more than one thing,

sometimes lots of contradictory things.

Speaking to Julie, I know that
Gary was proud,

but humble.

He was principled,

but with his kids and his grand kids,
a total pushover.

He was passionate with his views.

But he listened.

MICKEY: He has no idea what he's
doing to us, does he, this lad?

To our relationships.

What, mine and yours?

Stop being a knob.

Our business relationships,
which are tenuous.

New suppliers, younger, flashier...

And they have these cuckoos dotted about

- that will always undercut us.
- Why?

- Cos they use kids as couriers.
- Cos they use kids.

Do we use kids? We do not.

Well, you know,
maybe we should stop doing it.

We've got the taxis, we've got...

Taxis aren't enough on their own.

Hey. What's wrong?

We trained him.

Didn't we?

We must have done.

And folk'll know.

- We need to think of some sort of...
- What?

Well, acknowledgement of that,

some... some... some sort of penance.

CHILDREN CHATTER IN DISTANCE

DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE

A drink, Julie?

No, I'm all right, love. Thanks.

Sorry to gate-crash, like...

We wanted to briefly pay our respects.

And, erm, no hard feelings
for pointing the finger.

Suspension of hostilities sort of thing.

Right, here.

Put this behind the bar.

Oh, no, no, no.
Please, no, don't. Don't...

I... I can't accept.

You can accept it.

We're all neighbours.

We all live in the same place
at the same time.

And I still think
that's a thing what matters,

what means something.

You can accept it.

- OK.
- Go on.

Lovely. Thank you.

MICKEY: Come on, get a drink.
Don't be shy.

Evening. What bitter have you got on?

Not Mansfield. You any Tetley's?

Oh, we're at capacity. Sorry.

Ah.

Not in the mood for bygones
being bygones, then, eh?

We're not even allowed to raise a
glass for a fallen friend?

Been up to much else while
you've been down here, have ya?

Heard about a beautiful young lass
just been k*lled?

- Eh?
- You what?

Look, how's about
you just pootle off, eh?

And sharpish, please.

Gary's family kept solidarity
with us in ' .

You're still drinking with them.

No, please don't use my family
as a pawn in any of this.

No, I mean it.

Look, I know Gary appreciated
your many whatevers...

Kindnesses over the years,
especially when they weren't

extended to him on his own doorstep,

but... I think it's best that you go.

Yeah.

Can... can I just say one thing, please?

Something I think Gary would have liked

made known amongst some of his
holier-than-thou neighbours.

Gary was a good...

A good man who believed in things,

believed in being straight, honest.

And he were a loyal friend.

But someone here...

...is not who they seem.

Gary sh-shared it with us.

You have a great pretender
in your midst.

What's he on about?

I don't know, do I?

Well, in the past couple of months,

Gary... talked about it,
you know, a spy,

but I didn't know what to think.

I thought it were bollocks.

It is bollocks.

Go on, coming here
to stir up the past. Out!

Ey, ey up. Don't sh**t
the messenger. It in't me.

I mean, our union...

Sorry.

My union.

Your lot broke away, I recall.

In't that right?

Yeah, well, our lot are lobbying
the government even now

to find the truth about these spies!

Look to your neighbours,
look to your friends.

Someone who came here just before
or during that strike.

An outsider with an identity
plucked from nowhere...

fake job, fake name -
who spied on all of you,

and stayed for whatever reason,

and is still here, walking among
you, bold as brass.

And I'll warrant that
mad bastard in the woods

knows who it might be.

Eh? Come on, get up.

You don't have any f*cking idea...

You know, those left behind,

the people who lived here
had to clear up after your mess.

You did all right.
You did better than me...

Having that hanging over me,

being tarred with the same
brush as you bastard lot.

Friends who wouldn't talk to me.

Family who just...

And here we are -
Happening all over again.

Me defending you in front of my...

I'd have stayed here, you know.

It was you.

You took that away from me.

Bollocks.

Everything that went wrong
for me, everything...

...I can trace back to here.

We can go and get a... coffee.

Or something.

Maybe a garden centre, maybe?

Still don't feel real.

Any of it.

How could anyone have it in 'em?

Like, have it inside 'em to do such a...

It'd be like psychopathic.

Proper evil.

OK, we can come in now.

No, erm, best come in alone, eh?

Well, I'm with him now in the car.
