(PHONE RINGING) Hello.
VOICE ON RADIO: A woman at Milford station reports possible MAN: Phil! Morning, ma'am.
Marcus.
Who's this? We don't know.
He's not said much.
It's cold.
There's not much oxygen.
Could have been down there years.
(GROANS) Bit early.
Oh, look, Mac.
Blunt force trauma.
(MOBILE RINGS) Is that Shaun? Marcus, it's me.
I hope you're still OK for tonight cos the boys are really looking forward to it.
And actually, I was wondering if you fancied taking Max to football practice tomorrow.
A couple of the girls from work have asked me out and Finn's at a sleepover so it would just be the two of you.
No worries if you can't but it'd be great if you could.
So, just let me know.
OK, love you.
I don't know where that came from.
Force of habit.
So, just let me know.
Ma'am, can I have a word? Just a minute.
Yeah, call me back.
Shaun.
He's not answering.
He's had to see a specialist.
He's taking the piss.
What's up? Tattoos of two dates on the body on the moor.
What, birthdays? I ran them through the PNC.
Asil and Aidan Hassan.
The father was Omar or Omer Hassan.
Hassan? You knew him? Yeah.
Going back a couple of years.
Fancied himself as the Turkish Godfather.
Proper nasty bastard.
That's if it is the same bloke.
I mean, Omer Hassan is hardly Engelbert Humperdinck, is it? Well, this Hassan disappeared 2001.
He's got a police record.
Fraud, money laundering, assault.
I've ordered the case files from the salt mines.
Good.
Tell Shaun to pick 'em up.
He's going to be on desk duty for a couple of weeks.
You can help out with the leg work in some of his cases.
Thanks, ma'am.
Heavy lifting, ditch digging It's my dream.
Hello.
There you go.
Is that everything? Yeah.
How the hell am I supposed to read these? Anyway, thank you.
Come on! (BANGING) (SIGHS) (BANG) Ow! You all right, love? Yeah, I'm fine, thanks Love.
Are you sure? Yeah, it's just one of those days.
Here you are.
Oh, no, no.
It's fine.
It's all right.
No.
Well, let me Don't be daft.
It's only a quid.
What do you want? Oh.
I've had plenty of those days myself.
Pay me back next time.
Thanks.
Drink? Tea? No, thanks.
I'm not stopping.
Susan.
Yeah.
We've been patient.
More than patient.
It's been over a year now.
And after last night, enough's enough.
You're still using Reinhart? That's my name.
Look, you've got to start moving forwards.
I don't want to take formal action but I will.
Do you understand? It looks beautiful, your baby.
Thanks.
OK.
I've got to go.
Bye.
Bye.
You took my football.
I haven't touched it.
Whoa! Yeah, you have.

I don't wanna touch it.
I don't care.
'Ey! Have you got it? No.
Yeah, he has.
No, I haven't.
He says he hasn't.
Leave it.
Liar.
Oi! It's just a football.
It's my orange Casey.
It'll turn up.
Now, come on, bed.

Give us a kiss, Finn.
Kissy, kissy, kissy.

Are you playing on your iPad? No.
I thought you were supposed to be going to sleep.
I was getting to sleep but you keep waking me up.
Oh, no, you're not asleep.
Here, don't do that.
OK, we won't do that any more.
I haven't got any more left.
Shh.
Where did Max go? He's asleep.
Shush.
Yeah, he's asleep.
Look, I've got to collect the suns.
So I've got to get more of them.
I've got a new car.
Is that you? Yeah.
(WHISPERING) Hassan.
Omer Hassan.
Witness Absconded the country and returned to Turkey.
Are you busy? No, no.
Just this weird case.
It's almost 10:00.
Oh, Christ, sorry.
It's all right.
It's just getting late, you know.
Yeah.
I'll get this back in the loft before I get off.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Where are you off to tomorrow? Oh, it's just a birthday.
Pizza in town, I think.
You got my message then? Yeah.
I love you too.
God.
I don't know where that came from.
I didn't mind.
(LAUGHS) I liked it.
Marcus there's something I've got to I've started seeing someone.
Who? It's no one you know.
Jesus Christ.
I thought Oh, what a dick.
What? What did you think, Marcus? What? We'd been getting on.
Yeah, we've been getting on better, that's great.
And I love the fact that you can come over here and be with the kids but there's nothing.
There's nothing? There's No.
There's nothing.
Hang on.
That's not where Finn got his iPad from is it? What? Some bastard trying to buy my kids.
Oh, God.
Listen to yourself.
Listen to yourself.
No one is buying the kids, OK.
No one.
Just tell me it's not that prick.
That John.
John's actually It is him, in't it? He's quite nice.
Oh, my God! It is him.
He treats me really well.
Oh, my God.
Why tell me that I don't know him when I do know him.
What? And he's a twat.
Because I knew exactly how you would react.
Oh, shit! (GROANS) Give me your hand.
Right, you need to go.
You need to go.
This is my house.
(KNOCKING) (DOOR OPENS) (MAN'S VOICE) (HUSHED CONVERSATION) Come on, mate.
Thank you.
No, worries.
You can piss off.
Oh, leave him alone.
OK, everyone, that's it.
Gary, by 2:00, yeah.
Marcus.
Did Shaun get those case files? Yeah.
Good.
One on one it this morning.
Is he coming in? He'd better.
He's broken his wrist, he's not had a stroke.
What's up with you? Nothing.
I'm fine.
Sorry, ma'am.
It's um It's Abi.
Right.
Well, leave it outside, yeah.
MAN: Look who's here.
(APPLAUSE) You have missed me.
I knew it.
How are you feeling? Rough.
(WHISPERS) I'm still pissed.
Shaun.
I'd better go check in with Mac.
Then we'll go get a brew, yeah? Yeah.
Christ, Marcus.
I can't believe you forgot the disks.
I'll pick 'em up tomorrow.
Let's go now.
No.
She's at work.
You've got your keys.
No chance.
She'd go ballistic.
Well, Mac's gonna do her nut.
You can handle Mac, golden bollocks.
Is it serious with this John bloke then? I don't know.
What's up with him? Hey.
He's a nasty bastard you know, this Hassan.
A string of convictions.
Assaulted a copper.
So you have had a look at them then.
Just the headlines.
And I had a look at the case file into his disappearance.
The whole case is on those disks.
There's no paperwork, nothing.
All right, Shaun? (LAUGHS) You got that Zimmer frame parked outside, have you? Oh, yeah.
Very funny.
That's the last time I spill my guts to you.
I said I was too old to have kids not get upstairs.
Traitor.
(ALL LAUGHING) Shut up, you two.
The other thing about the Hassan case is there's only one witness has him leaving the country ten years ago.
One.
A guy called Christopher Lomax.
Known as Topher Lomax.
Doorman.
He used to work at a few bars down the Northern Quarter.
Do you not remember him? Right nasty little bastard.
No.
I don't want to muscle in, but he still hangs out in some pubs around Salford.
I was thinking maybe we could take a trip out there.
OK, we'll go.
But we keep it low key and he's a witness not a suspect.
Cancer, just about everywhere.
About the only thing that's holding me together.
Never mind the smoking ban, 'ey? You're lucky I come in here every day.
Drinking this piss.
So your statement claimed he'd gone back to Turkey.
I thought he had.
You thought he had.
I told 'em what I knew.
Well, tell us.
Hassan liked acting the big man.
He was a bully.
Pissed on shoes all over Manchester.
He was bound to get a clip.
He knew he had to get out of Dodge.
But he didn't sod off back to Turkey, as you claimed he had.
He was murdered.
And I think you know more about that than you're letting on.
I wish I could admit to killing Hassan but it wasn't me.
I can't imagine who'd mourn him, though.
Well, he had a family.
So do you.
What's that supposed to mean? Don't mean anything.
I'm just saying you should pick your fights.
Are you threatening me? (COUGHS) Hang on Marcus, leave it.
Just leave it.
No.
Don't you ever talk about my family.
Do you understand me? Come on.
(VOICE MUFFLED THROUGH MASK) (KNOCKING) Hello.
Abi.
Abi.
Oh, my God.
Abi.
Abi! No.
No, don't touch it.
Don't touch it.
No! Don't touch it.
Abi! (CHOKING) No, no! No, no! Abi.
(CAR HORN) Morning.
Morning, everyone.
Can we quieten down please, it's not Grange Hill.
Can we all gather in this office, please? Thank you.
Thanks.
Morning, Neil.
Hi.
Thanks for coming in so early.
Has every one heard the news? Yeah.
Good.
Right, divisions assigned us the job.
We don't have a DCI yet.
Yeah, cos I'm acting SIO till Mike gets back.
You are joking.
Thanks, Ash.
Right.
We'll be setting up shop at Longsight.
Warner's sorted some temporary digs.
OK? Thank you.
Listen, you don't think you might be biting off more than you can chew? I'll be fine, thank you.
Reinhart.
I'm acting SIO.
The husband's one of mine.
Marcus Farrow.
Yeah.
Do you know him? I don't think so.
I had to see her.
I'm sorry.
I'm Andrea MacKenzie, DCI.
How's the boy, Finn? Well, he's not great.
We haven't told him everything yet but he's a smart kid so I'm pretty sure he's worked it out.
Yeah.
Let us work.
Yeah.
Thanks.
We don't have to do this right now.
No, no.
It's Thanks.
It's good.
I'm glad you came.
Thank you.
I know, I know.
OK, then.
So, if you're sure.
So, you didn't call the police.
It was the neighbour.
Your neighbour who - I couldn't think Just take your time, Marcus.
I just couldn't understand what I was What I was seeing.
I couldn't .
.
process it, I suppose.
(SIGHS) Where are the boys? I should be with the boys.
Well, Finn's with his grandparents, he's fine.
That's good.
I should be with them.
Max is very sensitive.
Oh.
He'll be I should, um We found Max at the house.
Marcus, Max is dead.
Oh What? What? What? He's dead, Marcus.
Oh.
(SOBS) Right, we'll be in touch in due course.
Thank you.
Once we have the results of the post mortem, we'll need the bodies formally identifying.
Do you think you'll be able to do that? OK, Marcus.
This is the situation as I see it.
We know Abi had started dating a Johnathan Riley from work.
And the two of you were seen arguing about him the other night.
You're not listening to me.
I am, Marcus.
You've admitted that Abi was alive when you found her.
She was dying.
Who let you in? I had a key.
How could you think that I could hurt - A neighbour saw you knocking.
My own boy.
Why would you knock if you had a key? What kind of person would think that? Where's the key now? What kind of person would think that I - We haven't found a key, Marcus.
I don't know where the key is.
I've told you.
I dropped it in the stream.
No, Marcus.
We've looked.
We haven't found any sign of forced entry.
We have your finger prints on the knife that killed Abi.
Your clothes are covered in her blood.
There's damage to the wall.
It looks like you punched it.
You've got cuts.
Scratches on your neck.
You felt everything was slipping away.
I understand that.
We need to know the truth.
I'm telling you the truth.
Are you? You're really going to put Finn through all that? Why don't you just tell me what happened.
Just tell me what happened.
Come on.
I didn't do it! I didn't do it! Oi! I didn't do it! I didn't do it! He's got cuts on his hand where he punched the wall.
He's got fingerprints all over the scene.
He said he fled the scene to get his phone but it doesn't add up.
You think you've got enough to charge him.
I do.
But you don't.
So much is circumstantial.
He did it.
No question.
When you told him his lad was dead It was a hell of an act.
We've all dealt with the Oscar winners.
I'm not denying he's upset but he put on a show.
Sir, he did it.
All right, charge him.
I'll talk to the CPS.
Thank you, sir.
Shaun.
Sir.
Look, if you want to take a couple of personal days.
No, I'd sooner stay, to be honest.
I don't want to leave them short handed.
OK.
But, look, if you change your mind.
Thanks, sir.
