01x04 - In Too Deep

[bunniefuu]

He was just living his life.

I'm sorry.

'It's Chris.

Chris from the car park.

'I'm calling

about our locked room mystery.'

That's Alex Welland.

Daniel Eden's still on the board

for now, but not a priority.

Tasha Eden, she was with a man

and another woman

a pregnant lady.

This is the room

he wanted to show me.

There's nothing here.

The whole point of that place

is it's eco-friendly.

That doesn't offset the fact that

Jack Radcliffe's flooding the town.

Dan looked after all the money

for Nanta.

All I do know is that

over one hundred grand is gone.

No, Chris!

Round the back.

You OK?

Yeah. Yeah, think so.

Do we know who it is?

Chris Robinson, the caretaker

who found the body in the lift.

I saw him hanging through the window

around the side

..hanging from the bannister.

What? You were here on a job?

I thought Roy had you on desk duty.

Yeah, I'm here for Pat's sister.

Erm Robinson got fired

from his job today

didn't respond very well,

wouldn't hand his security pass in.

Kelly worried that it would

just make things worse for him,

so I said I'd pop round

and have a word.

CID and CSI are on their way.

Gibbo, get a first account from Jo.

When you've done your statement,

get off home, all right?

Yeah, thanks.

Do it out here?

Yeah.

Mackie just called. So

I, erm

I have to tell you something.

How did you find him?

Yeah, not about tonight.

I put the lift man's DNA

into an online genealogy database.

I know. I know.

I didn't think it through.

I just

I thought I might find something,

but I found a match.

Tasha Eden?

Yeah, who then turned up

at our house.

When?

The other night.

She'd tracked me down

because, as far as she's concerned,

her brother died five years ago,

except, of course, he didn't.

He hadn't died.

He'd faked his own death

and become Alex Welland,

who then dies two days

before the flood.

Or is k*lled m*rder*d.

For what? By who? And who knows?

That's what I'm trying to work out.

On your own.

Yeah, because

OK, technically, in submitting

the DNA, I did break the law.

There's nothing technical

about it, Jo.

So, it was you with Tasha Eden

at the Nanta office?

Nanta is Tasha's nickname.

That's why that name jumped out

to her

when she saw the responses

to the lift man's E-FIT.

And tonight, you find the caretaker

because you're at his house.

I met him when the body was found

in the lift,

and I saw him again after I'd looked

at the crime scene photos,

and a red car that I REMEMBER seeing

wasn't there, so I just

I just went back to ask him

if he remembered it, and he didn't,

but I did then find out that

that is a Jack Radcliffe building.

Chris showed me round the offices

cos they've never been used,

but the one nearest to the lift

has had its lock changed,

and Chris is surprised, you know,

he says, if I'm interested,

he'll let me know

when he's got a new key, and he did.

He left me a message saying

that he'd found something weird,

and to meet him there.

So I turn up, he doesn't,

but I do get to look

inside that room, and

compared to the others,

it's been, like, cleaned,

like, like, scrubbed.

I mean, why that room?

Why none of the others?

Er You say he left you a message?

Yeah. Yeah. Erm

Here.

'You have

one new message.'

'Hello there! It's Chris.

Chris from the car park.

'I'm calling

about our locked room mystery.

'Finally gotten it open.

'I think you're gonna enjoy

taking a look inside.

'It's a proper head scratcher.

'Anyway, come by anytime today,

see for yourself.'

Whoa, no, Pat, what are you doing?

You can't delete that,

that's evidence.

Yeah, against you!

But, Pat No, that's perverting

the course of justice.

Jo, you can't carry out

your own investigation.

You didn't even have permission

to go back to the car park.

They'll crucify you.

And you're gonna be a bloody good

detective one day, so just stop.

Really, just stop,

or that will be it,

especially if they find out

about all this DNA stuff.

Look, just

Just think

about what your dad would say.

You really think he'd want you

to throw your career away

before it'd even begun? No.

So just

..leave it alone. Leave it to CID.

What?

I told Mackie

I was out at the caretaker's

doing Kelly a favour,

getting Chris's security pass back.

Well, you better start being

nice to her, then.

I'll have a word.

God, why did he k*ll himself?

Didn't seem the type.

Is there a type?

Hm.

Right. Bed. Come on.

You can tell me

all about Tasha Eden.

What's she like?

God, I dunno.

She's still reeling from the fact

that her brother wasn't dead,

and now he is and was m*rder*d,

but

I dunno. I like her.

Hey.

How you feeling?

I don't know.

There's so much

that doesn't make sense.

And you're not helping.

Yeah? Well, I'm also finding out

I didn't know him.

What?

You know

The man who was here before

when you said

he was to do with work,

that must mean he knew Daniel?

Tasha, come on, man.

Please, look.

I know you're looking for answers.

Right, I get it.

But sometimes,

there just aren't any.

So if I were you

..I would go home tomorrow.

You want me to go?

Then I'm definitely going to stay.

OK.

Suit yourself.

Having a shower in the evening?

That's new.

I'm off early in the morning.

It's the selection interviews.

I mean, why bother?

Who'd vote for your mob these days?

Parliamentary candidate

will be as good as it gets.

Hey, you know the best cover-up

for people having an affair,

apparently, is running.

You jog off, meet up,

do the business, come home,

and cos you've done 5K,

in the shower, no questions asked.

You should take it up.

The fostering agency need to know

if we're taking that girl.

We've had that conversation. No.

We've fostered for 20 years.

I'm thinking about me now

about me and getting to Westminster.

And jiggy-jogging.

Your obsession with me

having an affair is ridiculous.

If Jack and I are close

it's because

that's what our jobs demand.

h*-h*!

Have a lie-in. You're not in today.

Oh, tell that to this one.

It's on the move. Look.

Aw! Come here. Come here.

Aw!

That's amazing.

Ew! Ugh! Gross. Yuck. Put it away.

Good morning, Sophie.

Hi, Sophie.

Er, Soph, is your mum up yet?

Yeah, they're out at the house,

seeing what can be saved.

I'm in this morning.

Oh, it's all right.

I'll pop in and see her.

You give us a lift, yeah?

Mm-hm.

Mm.

Where are you going?

I'm just getting my waterproofs.

Morning. If you haven't heard,

Chris Robinson,

the caretaker

who discovered the body in the lift,

was found dead last night.

Apparent suicide.

Yeah. I've spoken to his employer,

Jack Radcliffe,

who's informed us

that he fired Chris yesterday

for involvement in a parking scam.

Before leaving this to CID, though,

I just want to complete

a few enquiries, so, Babak,

you're with me this morning.

For the rest of you

..following receipt

of the DNA results,

Tasha Eden's

formally identified the body

as that of her brother,

Daniel Eden.

And it turns out, we could have a

minor criminal family on our hands.

Daniel and his father

were investigated

for fraudulent accounting here

in 2005.

The father, a French national,

then did time in Marseille

for similar offences,

and Miss Eden herself

has been arrested

for affray and as*ault, so

she is also a person of interest

now.

Let's, erm Let's get her in.

Yes? You have a problem with that?

I

Well, only in so far as

she can't be a suspect.

She wasn't even in the country

when her brother was k*lled.

That doesn't mean

she isn't involved.

Well, then, why come forward

and make an identification?

Well, perhaps she needs Daniel's

death to be formally recognised.

Maybe it's to do with

the inheritance or the business.

We know she was at the Nanta offices

with an unidentified male,

could be someone she's working with,

could be the k*ller.

She also told us yesterday

she'd never heard of Alex Welland,

which is bullshit if she's at Nanta.

Shall I go on?

Let's go. Come on, Babak.

You found Robinson, the caretaker?

Yes, sir.

While "helping your sister"?

Sister-in-law, yeah.

Right, right,

cos desk duty was an order.

Hey. When you don't have a shift,

don't come in.

What you trying to do?

Make the rest of us look bad?

I was just getting my raincoat.

Aw, Jo. What you doing?

Everyone in this street

was really lucky last time

cos you didn't get flooded,

but if it rains

like they say it's gonna rain,

you could get done,

because everywhere's waterlogged.

Yeah? If it does flood,

this thing here

will stop the top half of your homes

from getting ruined.

You just stuff it down the toilet

with a towel.

Courtesy of the Flood Relief Fund!

Didn't know

you could do that.

Brilliant.

Rob, give us a hand, sweetheart.

So, yeah, just, you know, remember,

get yourself a flood kit together.

Yeah, dry clothes, medicine,

insurance documents.

I'm gonna come round

and fit yours myself.

We've got a downstairs

and upstairs lavatory.

And a stairlift.

Right, well, all right.

It's all right.

We'll sort it for you.

Molly? Hiya. I'm gonna shout.

Can I have your attention, please?

Thank you.

On the hour, they're gonna test

the flood warning sirens, all right?

But it is just a test!

Right, but at any other time,

follow the flood drill

and get to safety.

But the sirens

you will hear shortly are a test!

And if they don't work,

like last time,

Sergeant Mackie will come round

and do an imitation of one.

Double act.

I've heard about these.

Yeah, really good.

Wish we had more.

If Jack Radcliffe gave us

the five grand he owed us, we would.

He hasn't paid?

No. Look.

All the benefits

without having to cough up.

What a snake.

How's Sarah?

70 miles away, getting interviewed

to be a Tory candidate

in a by-election.

Can you be a councillor and an MP?

Could she still live in Waterside?

I'll let you know when I'm told.

Molly!

Molly! Sorry, excuse me. Molly.

Guess what?

Hang on. Walk and talk.

Er, go on. I'll follow you.

Sorry, sweetheart. Go on.

So the council have signed off

on Uplands Eco Housing.

What do you mean?

Well, they're saying it's finished.

It's passed all inspections.

Hang on, what about all the water

running off the hill?

Yeah. Right. What about it?

They don't care, and to prove it,

they're putting in planning

applications to double the size

of Uplands Two

on the same hillside.

f*ck off.

It's all online for anyone to see,

with Jack Radcliffe promising ponds

and swales again.

It's the same Chair of Planning,

Sarah Mackie,

so they know

exactly what they're doing.

Oh, go away.

What's up?

- Nothing. It's, erm, some uni stuff.

- Molly, love?

Right. I'm coming! Do you know,

I'm gonna think of Jack and Sarah

when I'm stuffing this

down the toilet.

All right. Off we go.

All right.

Come on.

Oh, hey, Jo.

Seeing what we can salvage,

precious bits and pieces.

Keith, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I didn't realise

you'd had it this bad.

It's just where we've measured

Sophie's height that I mind losing,

you know, can't wash that down

and put it in a box.

Hm.

Listen, you can stay with us

for as long as you'd like.

No need, thanks.

Jack's sorted us a place on Uplands.

We'll be out of your hair

by tonight.

Oh, well, that's good.

Yeah, it's great.

Thanks for everything, though.

Ooh. Sorry, work.

Erm Kelly?

Kelly?

Listen, I do wanna thank you

for everything, actually.

Oh. Oh. No, God, I mean,

I should've been more welcoming.

I just, erm

I just wanted to say

that I'm sorry about Chris Robinson.

Oh, God, yeah. Awful.

Jack rang this morning. The police

had called to let him know,

and he was in a right state

cos, you know,

if he hadn't sacked him

Course, yeah.

And I liked Chris.

He were funny when he weren't upset.

Yeah. I was the one that found him,

actually Found his body.

You? Oh, God, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I mean, it's horrible, but

He hung himself.

Mm.

Er, the thing is, I, erm

I told my colleagues

that I was round at Chris's

picking up his security pass

for you.

For me?

Mm. Why?

Well, I've been investigating

things a bit above my pay grade,

and there was there was

something I wanted to ask Chris,

but I'm only a trainee, so

just was wondering,

if anybody asks

would you mind backing me up?

Yeah. Yeah, sure. No problem.

I mean, I owe you one.

Several, actually.

OK, thank you. Thanks.

No, don't be daft.

Just wish Jack hadn't been so hard

on Chris.

I mean, if you change the lock,

don't sack the security guy

cos he gets a new key.

But then Jack's been stressed

ever since he had

that construction plant stolen

six, seven weeks ago, so

Sorry, I thought

that Chris was sacked

for renting out parking spaces?

Well, yeah, that as well,

but it was the key

that set Jack off.

I mean, I thought

he were gonna deck Chris.

He went nuts.

Now feels bad, of course.

Made him generous, though.

Letting us have an Uplands house

for as long as we need.

How long's that gonna be?

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

This is a construction site,

I'm sorry,

but you can't just walk in

off the street. You knew my brother.

What's his name?

To me, he's Daniel Eden.

To you, Alex Welland.

OK.

He and Lee Ellison worked together.

I know you know Lee

because I saw you together

at his place yesterday.

Yeah, so I'd like to know

what you can tell me

about my brother.

I have some very important clients

arriving, and, erm

no offence, but your brother

wasn't a man of his word.

Now, for all I know, that could be

a trait in your family, so, erm

if you wanna talk

..well it has to be

..mutually beneficial.

OK.

Yeah? Right.

Who's William Caine?

William Caine? Mm.

Don't know, never heard of him.

William Caine owns this piece

of land we're standing on.

Well, maybe co-owns it with you

now that your brother's dead,

so where is he?

I told you, I don't know him.

OK, this conversation's over. Mal!

Did you k*ll my brother?

I've seen you lose your temper.

And if you're angry with Lee, maybe

you were even angrier with Daniel.

Do you know, I am not having

the best day of my life right now.

Hey, did you k*ll my brother?

No, I did not k*ll your brother.

But if it's any consolation

his death is f*cking things up

for me, big time,

and it's costing me a packet.

Sorry for your loss.

Do you wanna escort her off?

OK, then.

Do you know, I've spoken

to the police already today,

and I don't mind calling 'em back.

OK.

OK.

So, Jack Radcliffe hasn't had

a planning application rejected

since Sarah Mackie became

Chair of Planning four years ago.

What, have they been shagging

all that time?

Eh?

Oh, sorry. No, er

What I'm saying is Jack and Sarah

are working the system.

What, breaking the law?

No. No, no, no. They don't have to.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Right, so basically,

to get, erm, planning permission

on a housing development

in this country,

you've got to show

that you're gonna put in, like,

water retention basins and ponds.

Right.

Erm, to hold the water

that would otherwise run off.

Right,

but once you've started building,

it's up to you

whether you put 'em in or not

because it's not mandatory,

it's just recommended.

Well, that can't be right.

Right.

Yeah, you mean you do that 60 miles

down the road in Wales,

yeah, you'd be breaking the law,

but here, no.

The government keep saying they're

gonna make it a legal requirement,

but THIS evening,

Jack and Sarah are pushing through

planning applications

for Uplands Two.

So they won't be subject to any sort

of changes in the law like that.

They're working the system,

knowing that they are making

Waterside

more vulnerable to flooding,

that they're gonna ruin

people's lives and worse.

Right. What can we do to f*ck it up?

Seen another red car?

Ha.

Why are we meeting here?

Chris Robinson's house,

where he died.

Yeah, and?

Why was Chris sacked?

For renting out parking spaces.

Correct, but also because he got

into that locked office.

Jack went ballistic, apparently.

His PA said she actually felt scared

for Chris.

Jo, what are you saying?

I'm saying

Just wanna see

if there's any CCTV around here.

Yeah because?

Cos what if Chris

didn't take his own life?

What if he was m*rder*d?

Tasha Eden?

We'd like to invite you

down to the station for a chat.

Can I say no?

Yeah, it's voluntary.

But that could change.

I mean,

it's crappy door-cam footage,

but it's from a house

almost opposite Chris Robinson's.

It's a blurred figure

walking towards

Chris Robinson's blurred house.

You didn't even see if he

goes in or not.

It's from before he died, though.

And we've got why Chris

was sacked now.

That's still hearsay at the moment.

OK, he was also sacked

for renting out parking spaces,

one of which would have been

for your red car,

which maybe belonged to the k*ller.

Yeah, but no-one else remembers it.

Everyone else goes, "What red car?"

The cleaned room, then,

and the changed lock,

you passed that info on to Babak.

Who's probably done nothing with it.

Yes, well, I've been asking round,

and no local cleaning company's

touched that building,

meaning someone's

done it themselves.

Yeah, but, Deepa,

if we go to DCI Roy,

something has to be concrete,

and nothing is!

OK.

But if Chris's suicide

wasn't suicide,

we can't sit on this.

There has to be a way

to move it forward.

You said Pat was great

about everything last night.

Go to Pat.

Tasha, can you confirm that,

in an earlier statement,

you said that you believed

Daniel died five years ago?

Yes.

And you haven't seen

or spoken to him in that time?

Do you think I go to seances?

No, I ask because, in that case,

how did you know about Nanta?

It's a business that was formed

after you thought Daniel died.

It's only been in existence

three years.

Also, Daniel isn't registered

as the owner, Alex Welland is,

yet you still went

to the Nanta offices, why?

Nanta was Daniel's nickname for me.

I tried my luck online,

put it in and the office came up.

And who was the man you were with

at Nanta? What's his name?

You don't know his name?

Well, if it looks like

I'm struggling to believe you,

you'll be right,

because I have information

that suggests you knew

perfectly well Daniel was alive.

My father and I

heard my brother died

on the 5th of May, 2019,

at 4:20 in the afternoon,.

He'd been in a motorcycle accident

in the Philippines.

Tasha, Daniel flew to France

three and a half weeks ago.

To Nimes.

12 miles from your home

in Gallargues-le-Montueux.

There's more.

Your brother in Vergeze,

four miles from Gallargues.

And then, in Gallargues itself,

at the bottom of the road,

where you live.

So, Tasha,

which of my previous questions

would you like to revisit first?

No.

You've got all this,

but what are you doing

about who k*lled Daniel?

Where are you with the one thing

that really matters? Nowhere!

Please. Please, sit down.

No, f*ck off!

Putain de merde.

I am allowed to go.

What are you doing?

Look where you're going!

Tasha! Tasha?!

Tasha, what's wrong?

Hey, hey, what's happened?

Daniel came out to France

last month.

What?

He was at the end of my road.

They've got photos of him.

And it's him.

Why would he come and not see me?

This is like going mad,

this is like someone's using me,

cos now they're saying I'm involved,

and next, it'll be I'm why he died.

And Lee tells me nothing.

Even when I've seen him

and Jack Radcliffe arguing.

And I f*cking hate everyone!

Jo. Jo.

What did she say?

I'm not sure, she's upset,

but if anyone thinks

she's tied up in this,

it's ridiculous.

Jo, as ever, you don't know that.

No, she's here because of me!

And if you're looking at her,

you're not looking at whoever it was

went round to Chris Robinson's house

last night before he died.

Look.

It's inconclusive, but

It's not inconclusive,

it's nothing.

You have just ignored

everything we talked about.

What, because I spoke to Kelly?

No. Coming into the briefing room

earlier, piping up.

You just can't stop, can you?

They're focusing on Tasha,

who has nothing to do with this.

You've known that woman

for five minutes.

I am trying to do the right thing,

Pat.

Right, well, why don't you try

and do the right thing for us,

or just me?

Because I could get busted

for covering up for you,

but, no, I always come last

with you.

No, that's not fair.

Not fair?

You lied to me

about when our baby was due!

Look, I have said sorry about that,

and I will say it again.

I am sorry, but I'm trying to say

something valid here.

And me not telling you

about when the baby was due,

that wasn't about you.

So, what was it about, then?

Trying to get ahead,

trying to get on the course,

trying to become a detective?

I mean, how maternal can you get?

Do you even want this baby?

Do you know a lot of couples

break up after the first baby?

It's like

one in five in the first year.

Is that what this is?

Is that what

is at the heart of all this?

Do you

Do you want to be with me?

Oh, God.

No

No, no, go on,

just sink our careers

while I go and try and find

Tasha f*cking Eden!

There you go.

Thanks, Mum.

So what's up, hey,

what's the matter?

I'm just

I'm in too deep.

I'm way out of my depth,

and Pat is yelling, "Stop!"

and I probably should,

but I'm onto something

that no-one else is looking at,

but I can't make everyone see

what I can see

without losing my job!

If Dad had been in this situation,

what do you think he'd have done?

You're the one that's like him.

Ask yourself. What do you think?

Oh, God, stay where you are.

It's Mackie.

He always tells Pat where I am.

I feel sorry for him.

For Mackie, why?

Because Sarah's playing away

with Jack Radcliffe.

What?

Yeah.

Big yeah. For years.

Oh, God. I hate that. I hate that.

If you're not happy with someone,

just end it.

Don't cheat on 'em, just leave.

Yeah.

Oh, actually, Finn's gonna be here

in a minute. Do you want anything?

Oh, no, I'm fine, thanks.

OK.

So, when Jack Radcliffe

bought that brownfield site

across the river,

he announced it was gonna be

the access road for Uplands Two.

Then he sells the site

to a firm called Nanta,

which is odd, because it's,

like, essential, isn't it?

But then the new owner,

Alex Welland,

lets Jack do exactly

what he was gonna do anyway -

build his access road.

Look at what else Jack's doing.

Building drainage outlets.

Yeah.

So, Alex Welland bought land

off Jack Radcliffe?

Yeah, Welland owns it,

him and William Caine,

but something's going on, isn't it?

Because they're letting Jack

build a drainage outlets

on a piece of land

he doesn't even own any more.

Can I have a look at them?

Yeah.

Who's William Caine?

There's a planning meeting

about it tonight

with Sarah Mackie chairing.

We're gonna hijack it.

So, Alex Welland and William Caine

are working with Jack Radcliffe?

I mean, it's weird, isn't it?

But I'm still finding stuff out,

and this is the latest,

so, apparently,

when you own land next to a river,

you have the right

to discharge water into it,

so is that

what Jack's planning to do?

So, Jack's gonna feed run-off water

from the new Uplands

directly into the river?

Yeah, I mean, it'd be legal,

but it would increase

the chance of flooding.

If not for Waterside,

then definitely the next towns

down the river.

Sorry.

That pin I sent,

that's where Lee lives, in a barn,

with shipping containers outside.

OK, thanks. How are you doing?

'I can't believe

he was in my street.

'Daniel was in my street.'

That close, so close.

And I've been thinking about

when he used to visit in the summer,

which I loved, but he'd always

go off on his own each trip,

never saying where he was going

or who he was meeting.

And where are you now?

What are you doing?

Cos they're looking for you again.

'I have to go.'

Oh, my God. Jo, tell him.

I just think

being here's more important.

Do both!

His final exams start tomorrow!

Yeah, so what?

Final exams for what?

I mean, we're in the middle

of something here.

This is the moment.

Cos if we're not flooding,

we're burning.

This is the fight,

happening right here, right now.

Who cares about getting some degree?

Your grandparents would.

Yeah, do your exams and this.

Why does it have to be

one or the other? It doesn't.

Do both! Go and come back.

Jo, tell him I'm right.

Finn, on this occasion,

do as she says.

Sit them, do it,

and see you next time, yeah?

Mum, I've got a cab coming,

so I'm gonna go.

So, how did the interview go?

Oh, felt good at the time,

always a dangerous sign.

How about you?

Well, the investment people came,

no decision

till the end of the month.

I mean, they say they're committed,

but until they sign,

I'm running on empty.

I mean, they could be in on this,

couldn't they?

They could be out to make me fail,

so that I go under,

then they pick up the pieces.

They need you.

I was asked about Uplands

at the selection.

"The green model

for all future developments."

Not my words, someone on the panel.

Uplands Eco equals Jack Radcliffe.

Hmm.

I, erm

I also had a call

from the police today.

About Chris Robinson.

They asked me

where I was yesterday evening.

I said that we were working.

Did they ask where we were?

Yeah, course they did.

Why wouldn't they?

What if this gets back to Mackie?

What did you want me to say?

What would you have said?

Sarah, what are you gonna say?

Deepa,

I'm sending you a location pin.

Do nothing. It's just so you know

where I've gone.

Tell you about it tomorrow.

Oi.

Lee?

Jo, what you doing here?

So, you know Jack Radcliffe.

You work with Jack Radcliffe,

you're in dispute

with Jack Radcliffe.

That changes things.

By the way, anyone who misses me

will very quickly

find a pin for this place.

So, who k*lled Daniel

and who then put his body

in Jack's building?

I don't know.

I don't know, Jo.

I didn't.

Right, so why have you lied?

Cos it's starting to come across

as if you didn't care about him,

and if you didn't care

I didn't tell you everything

because what's the f*cking point!?

Really?

You wouldn't understand, Jo.

Try me.

Because you're police.

Yeah, so try me.

Or I can call this in

and trigger that pin-drop.

Yeah, all right, fine.

We take each other down.

No, no, no, no.

Just don't, all right?

Nothing but the truth.

OK.

14 months ago, to raise finances,

Jack sold me and Daniel

the riverside brownfield site

on the understanding that whatever

deal he was working on then,

when that came through,

he would pay us back double

what we paid for it.

So, we bit his hand off.

Now, this site

was the access road for Uplands Two,

so he couldn't do without it,

it was a guaranteed deal.

But then seven weeks ago,

Jack then runs out of money,

he's broke,

he can't get any more credit

and he can't let the investors know

because then they'll pull out,

and that's that.

He'd go bust, we'd lose the money,

and then we'd be left

with a worthless piece

of f*cking land, so

Wait, wait, wait.

Jack had a load of plant

stolen last month.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He asked us to steal the gear,

so he could do an insurance job,

which

we didn't wanna do any more,

because me and Daniel,

we were going legit.

But Jack begged us.

So that stuff out there,

that's Jack's?

Yeah.

See, he gets the insurance

and half of what we get

when we sell it abroad.

It should have been long gone,

but Daniel,

Daniel did all the exports.

You see, back in the day, I stole,

Daniel shipped.

That's how we met.

He worked on the docks.

I worked on a f*cking farm.

I don't know how to ship f*ck all.

So, there it sits,

with Jack getting

more and more irate.

Except today, I finally get a slot

to ship tomorrow.

Which I have to take, Jo.

Because Dan

Dan cleaned me out.

You know,

he emptied our bank account.

Yeah, you told me that.

Well, have some more detail.

Our friendly banker

he let him have it in cash.

Do you ever deal

with organised crime groups?

You think I'm f*cking mad?

No, never.

OK, so how does William Caine

fit in to all of this?

You know William Caine?

I don't, no. How do you know him?

I don't, no-one does.

His name just started bubbling up

when Daniel died.

And now suddenly,

his name is on the deeds

for the brownfield site.

So, obviously,

I'm looking for him!

You think he has your money?

Probably.

But, look, Jo, I just

I just want out of this.

I'm f*cking done, all right?

I am done, so, please,

for old times' sake

and the baby's sake,

just, please,

let me make that shipment tomorrow.

Moving on to item five,

planning applications

for the proposed

Uplands Eco Housing 2.0 development.

The application is made

by Jack Radcliffe

in relation

to the project Uplands Two

and the proposed expansion.

Yeah, never mind Uplands Two.

Can I just ask the council

why the flood prevention measures

for Jack Radcliffe's first

Uplands Eco Housing development

haven't been built?

No interventions, thank you.

Because they WERE a requirement,

but you signed off on the project

and allowed them not to be built.

I'm sorry,

this is a meeting held in public,

not a public meeting.

When it's clear

that the extra run-off water

from the Uplands contributed

to the worst flood

this town has seen to date!

You will be removed

from the chamber!

Why is Jack Radcliffe

being allowed to build

a second Uplands Eco

housing development?

Would it have anything

to do with the developer

and the chair

having a special relationship?

By which I mean

f*cking each other's brains out

in the Uplands show home

of a weekday evening.

Jesus Christ.

A relationship with no benefits

to anyone but themselves!

Sorry, we're authorised

to remove you.

Eric, I got picked ahead of you

on the tug-of-w*r team, please!

They're screwing each other

and they're screwing the rest of us,

and who knows what else

they're up to?

For example,

would they care to explain

what's going on with Alex Welland

and William Caine

on the riverside site,

also owned by Jack Radcliffe?

Come on, own up! You liars!

Honest to God, Eric,

just leave me alone!

Come on!

Thank you very much.

Liars. Liars, all of you!

Come on, Jo.

Look, I need to get

that shipment away tomorrow.

What do you want?

How can we help each other?

I want to find Daniel's k*ller.

And the one person who keeps pushing

their way to the front of the queue

is Jack Radcliffe.

Jack was working

with you and Daniel,

Jack owns the building

where Daniel's body was found,

and yesterday, he sacks

the caretaker of that building,

who went home

and, we are led to believe,

hanged himself,

except I know that caretaker

had crossed Jack.

OK.

In what way?

He accessed a locked room that Jack

didn't want anyone going into.

Plus, you're telling me

that Jack's got cashflow problems

that could see him going under

imminently.

Look, all I know for sure

..is he needs the money

that's sitting out there.

Hmm

Enough to k*ll?
