01x05 - Gathering Storm

Post by bunniefuu »

'Chris Robinson,

'the caretaker who discovered

the body in the lift.'

He hung himself!

Chris was sacked

for renting out parking spaces,

one of which would've been

for your red car,

which maybe belonged to the k*ller.

'It's Chris at the car park,

'calling about

our locked room mystery.

'Finally got it open.'

Whoa, no, Pat, what are you doing?

That's evidence! Yeah, against you.

Is this your brother, Daniel Eden?

Yes.

'Nanta is Tasha's nickname.'

They're focusing on Tasha,

who has nothing to do with this.

You've known the woman five minutes!

Do you want to be with me?

You knew my brother.

To me, he's Daniel Eden.

To you, Alex Welland.

Who's William Caine?

'How does William Caine

fit into all of this?'

'His name just started bubbling up

when Daniel died.'

Did you k*ll my brother?

No, I did not k*ll your brother.

'I want to find Daniel's k*ller.

'The one person who keeps pushing

their way to the front of the queue

'is Jack Radcliffe.'

All I know for sure is he needs

that money what's sitting out there.

'Enough to k*ll?'

Come on, Jo, it's an insurance job.

It's not hurting anybody.

That's what insurance is for.

Three shipping containers

isn't exactly,

"Oh, yeah,

I lost my camera on holiday," is it?

Right, so, cops do it as well,

do they? Not THIS one.

Right, so you're saying

that Jack's out of money?

Completely.

He's been running on overdrafts

and credit lines,

but they've run out.

So, how's he gonna keep going?

I don't think he can.

So, what if he's working WITH

this William Caine, whoever he is?

To what end?

To get away with m*rder,

and your money, and your land.

Right, I need to go.

Like, now.

Anywhere here.

Jo.

I have to ship

those three containers.

It's all I have left.

And look, I

I don't know where we stand

..but we saved a baby together.

I do know that.

Lee, I'm a police officer.

Hi.

Hi.

Erm, I lost Tasha Eden,

and it's still my fault, apparently.

Huh!

But

There.

Now I am off duty.

Hm!

It's 9:30.

Yeah. Yeah, I was out at, erm,

Amy's house,

you know,

the mum of the rescued baby.

Just helping her with bath time,

getting some practice in.

Well we have our home back.

Keith and Kelly and the princess

have moved out.

You've just missed them, actually.

Jack's sorted them a place

on the Uplands.

She said, yeah.

They're moving in tonight, so I was

just off to go and give 'em a hand.

Wow. That was fast.

Well, yeah, I'll come and help.

What, with all the lifting

and carrying?

Yeah, you're right. I'll stay here.

It's great that

we've got our home back.

And I DO want to be with you.

Hi.

Hey, where are you?

I'm at home. Why?

I found something

in Daniel's things.

'We could meet up, maybe?'

Yeah, of course. Found what?

The address of someone

Jack Radcliffe was asking me about.

William Caine.

You have William Caine's address?

'William Caine owns the land

Jack's building on.'

Yeah, I'm going there now.

It's not too far.

Do you wanna come?

You could pick me up?

Yeah. Er, yes, of course I do,

but look, we can't go now,

we can't go at night.

We don't know who this

..bloke is.

Send me the address,

and I'll run a check on it.

And we'll go

first thing in the morning, yeah?

'Fine! Whatever.'

Yeah?

'Jo, your mum's been knocked off

her bike in a hit-and-run.

'They've brought her to A&E.

'I don't know

how she is yet, though.

'Jo?

'Jo?'

Yeah. I'm on my way.

Put them in there, Keith?

Yeah, sure, love.

Don't you f*cking text me

all the time!

You'd only just left,

and I was already coming.

Look. I'm here!

I know, I wouldn't,

but on the way over,

I saw Jo with Lee Ellison,

getting out of his car

near your place. Don't be stupid.

Pat, it was Lee, with Jo.

So, what's the game?

Cos he's made me give him

three container export numbers

with no notice.

Three. Just, "Give us 'em."

And they're tightening things up

Just

Holman.

'Deepa? Deep, where's my mum?'

She's gone walkabout!

Mum?!

Mum?

Mum?

Listen.

We're running out of time, OK?

If you live in a flood zone,

move out now.

Floods are coming,

worse than the last!

Mum. Mum

You are showing your bum

to the world.

Yeah, they give you these to

stop you from discharging yourself,

but I fortunately have a nice bum,

so I'm leaving anyway. Mum, stop!

The doctors want you to stay put.

They think

you might have been concussed.

Just listen to me.

People who bang their heads

think they're fine,

two or three hours later,

they drop dead

cos they've had

a bleed on the brain.

If the doctors

were that concerned about me,

they'd come and see me.

A doctor HAS been to see you, Mum.

See, this is concussion -

you can't remember.

That wasn't a doctor.

That was a child.

Mum, I mean it.

Get back in there, now.

Ugh!

You're the child.

Yeah, cos I wanna go home!

Right, there you go.

Now, can you pay attention?

What do you remember?

What are we talking about?

Hi.

Oh, my God, will you all

stop gawping at me? I'm fine.

You're NOT fine.

You were in a hit-and-run.

Right, so, what do you remember?

What What happened?

Why were you on that road?

What road?

The Milton Road, where you were hit.

Moll, where had you been?

The Town Hall.

The Town Hall?

That doesn't make sense if

And when the car hit you, was it

coming towards you, or from behind?

There were headlights.

So it was coming towards you.

Oh

Or did I look round?

And did you hear anything?

Did it swerve,

or did you hear it brake?

I don't know, love.

I'm I'm sorry.

Oh, look, you're going a bit grey.

It's nice.

Mum, just think.

Why were you on the Milton Road?

Cos when I'm thrown out

for asking legitimate questions,

that's not the end of the matter.

I want answers.

Why are they letting Jack Radcliffe

build a second Uplands

when the first gave us

the worst floods we've ever had?

And what is he up to with

this Alex Welland and Citizen Caine?

Right? But no.

No, they physically evicted us.

They chucked us out. So I thought,

"Right, I'll go to Sarah's,

"I'll be there when she gets home."

OK, right. So, you were on your way

to Sarah's? Yeah.

So, while you were cycling there,

do you remember the car?

What car?

The car that hit you!

Oh. Here.

Oh. Thanks.

I'll get you a cup of tea as well.

There's a volunteer trolley

round the corner.

Oh, you've had a rush of texts.

Yeah. It's Keith and Kell

asking after Moll.

Oh. Tell 'em annoying.

I don't like this.

What?

Well, Mum speaks out against Jack,

and then this happens.

What, like Jack and Sarah

are gonna be happy

about Mum

shouting out all that stuff.

So, what if either of them

were trying to shut her down

for exposing their corruption?

Jo, come on.

Right, fine. But you cannot deny

that Jack's name runs through this

like a stick of f*cking rock.

Through what?

What are you talking about?

Right, Jack was working with

Tasha's brother, AKA Alex Welland,

whose body was then found

in Jack's building.

Alex Welland is one of the names

that Mum was shouting out about

last night.

Then you've got Chris Robinson,

Jack's caretaker.

Chris was helping me,

and then he ends up dead.

No, Jack had an alibi

for when Chris Robinson died.

He was with Sarah Mackie.

They were at

the Uplands show home together.

They are having an affair.

Roy interviewed Jack this morning.

But we're not spreading that around,

by the way.

Mum already told me.

But Roy doesn't know that Chris

wanted to show me the locked room,

because he had seen something.

But you can't tell him that,

because then it all unravels,

and before you know it,

you're gonna have to tell him

that you misused the DNA,

and then your career's over.

Fine. But Mum still got hit

after speaking out against Jack.

Yeah, OK.

So, we take it from here.

We start from who hit Moll,

and we work backwards.

All right,

cos that'll lead us to the k*ller.

It could, it might,

but you're rushing ahead again.

Don't. Don't jump ahead.

We work, from this point, together.

OK.

Right.

So, you go and check on Moll,

and I'll get cracking.

Thank you.

Pat. Your coat.

Oh, I've got another in the car.

Serious Crime Squad, eh?

We're not worthy.

Mind if I take a look?

Yeah, the mother-in-law gets hit

and suspect numero uno

returns to the scene of the crime!

Didn't wanna stay in.

Yeah, I think we got that,

but the trouble

with you discharging yourself

is that you still wanna be

looked after.

Who does? I don't.

You've just told me to go

and get you coffee and a croissant.

If you call coffee and a croissant

looking after me, don't bother.

No, no, your wish.

Never hear the last of it.

No, don't put yourself out.

I won't touch 'em,

even if you get 'em.

Oh, Jesus.

Hi. Any news?

Traffic think it was joyriders.

'What do YOU think?'

I'll think it was joyriders

when they find joyriders.

Well, what did you pick up

at the crash site?

The bike took a hit,

and it's marked.

You know that black plastic trim

that you get around the wheel arches

on a car?

'It looks like that.

'I'm trying to get MCET to

loop me in on any forensic finds.'

Pat, I'm gonna call you back.

I think Jack's going to Mum's.

OK. Listen

God's sake. What happened?

Look at you.

Looks worse than it is.

Doesn't actually even hurt.

Hey, don't don't do that!

Why are you such a f*cking rat?

Me?

Yeah, you. Yeah.

All this cheapskate

ripping off the town

to be a crappy developer is so dull.

Oi, oi, I'll have you know

that Uplands is being nominated

for a Green Eco Award!

For what, flooding the most houses?

It's innovative.

Jack, this is me.

I know what you're up to.

I've done nothing ill*gal.

You're working the system. Why?

Who for, Jack? Why?

Uplands, it's not

it's not finished yet.

Oh, really? So then why are you

concreting more of the hillside?

Oh, shut up and come here.

Ow. Ow.

Oh. Sorry. Sorry.

Just hurts.

Argh!

Bloody hell, Moll.

Yeah. Impressive, innit?

Goes all the way round.

Hurts when you squeeze.

Yeah.

Do you want me to,

er, kiss it better?

No, thanks.

Look, soon as I get the money

to do it properly

Cos I don't have to do this,

but I wanna get it right

so that Uplands

will have all the ponds and swales

and rain gardens it needs

to hold the water back.

You won't be able to bloody move

for rain gardens. No.

You should've done it already.

People have been

forced out of their homes.

The Jack I knew,

the Jack I preferred,

didn't swan around

in a brand-new 4x4.

He had a second-hand Volvo

and gave a f*ck about people.

And what's all this

with Sarah Mackie?

I mean, I know you don't do

long distance, so what is it?

Is it just the planning attributes?

This is Sarah's time.

You know, she's come into her own.

Her ambition matches mine.

Are you joking me?

No. Right.

What are you gonna do? Start talking

with proper vowels now?

Well, I'll give you this.

Her and I, we don't laugh in bed

like we did when we were together.

You know,

when I used to race round here

as soon as Jo had gone to school

and Bren was at work.

We'd go upstairs, and

Didn't even bother with that

sometimes.

Jo?

It's only us.

Coming through. Where are you?

I'm out of here.

I'll leave you to it.

Hey, you're up and about.

That's great. How are you?

Jo!

Can I give you a lift?

Where's your car?

It's being serviced.

How much of, erm what your mum

and I said back there did you hear?

Why?

Are you gonna make me feel better

by saying it didn't mean anything?

How long did it go on for?

Yeah, right. That's not fair.

Change of subject.

Any news on that construction gear

you had stolen?

No, not yet.

Just here, please.

Why here?

I'd rather walk.

Take care, Jo.

Martins Lane.

Hey.

So, Jack's car is being serviced,

right, or could that be repaired?

Well, it's a 4x4,

so I'll go and check it out.

How's your mum?

Turns out my mum was having

an affair with Jack Radcliffe

while I was in school

and my dad was in here.

So, fortunately,

I don't like thinking about

my Mum having sex, so

She's discharged herself.

She's at home,

and I've had enough of her.

I'm patrolling round her way.

I'll keep an eye out, yeah?

Big yeah. Thank you.

Can I ask about that pin

you dropped us yesterday?

Cos I looked it up. It's in

the middle of nowhere, Barton Way.

Right, yeah, forget about that.

Delete it.

But why were you there?

No, I mean it, Deepa.

We are stepping back from this,

you especially.

I was out of order. I should

never have got you involved.

I'm enjoying it.

Yeah, but you wanna lose your job?

I've spoken to Pat.

He's gonna take the lead,

and we are done.

But what's out at Barton?

Marshall?

I appreciate you coming in,

but I heard about your mother.

Family's important.

You look after her for now, yeah?

Right, yeah. Thank you, sir.

Hey.

'Hey, this William Caine,

he must know something about Daniel.

'You wanna come and see him, or not?

'Jo?'

Yes. Yeah, of course I do.

'You don't have to come.

I can go on my own.'

No, no, no.

Just tell me where to pick you up.

Yeah, Sarah? Third time of asking.

Give us a call, yeah?

They've got the sand,

but they won't extend our credit.

Try someone else.

I've tried everywhere.

Well, then keep trying!

They selected me. I'm selected.

I'm standing in that by-election.

I'm the candidate!

Hey, really well done.

That's terrific.

Thank you.

Well, let's top it off

by keeping the town dry.

Let's build a levee.

Jack, we don't have the authority

to do that yet.

To build a levee,

what I need is sand.

Council's out of sand reserves.

I told you to get onto that.

And I told you

that's not my department.

Just do what's required, OK?

Look, Jack, maybe you need to start

developing some other relationships.

You know, don't start thinking that

you can just jump ship, will you?

Can't magic up sand, or money.

Hi, Jack.

Kelly. My car

They said you should have it back

by this afternoon.

Sell it. I need the money.

Best price you can get.

Wait. Sell yer new car?

'Yeah, right away,

or we've f*cking had it.

'Quick as you can. Go!'

We shouldn't have come on our own.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

Hello?

Who's that?

Hello?

Daniel?

Daniel?

I don't think she can see.

Danny? Dan?

Erm, no, sorry.

No, it's it's two women. I'm Jo.

And I'm Tasha.

Tasha?

Yeah?

Nanta Tasha? Daniel's sister?

Yeah.

I'm Emma.

- Emma.

- Mummy!

Oh. Come in.

Come in.

You've seen Daniel, then?

How was it? Are you coming with us?

Is all forgiven?

Sorry, but this little one,

is this Daniel's son?

Yeah, this is Billy.

Emma, sorry,

I think I have to come in here.

I'm a police officer,

and I'm so sorry,

but I have to tell you that

Daniel died the week before last.

I'm so sorry.

Died how? Died where?

In Waterside.

His body was found after the flood.

Tasha, wait.

No.

They thought he'd drowned,

but it turns out

he died two days earlier,

so it's a m*rder investigation now.

He was m*rder*d?

We believe so. Yes.

Was it Lee who k*lled him?

Hello? Yeah, one sec.

- Hiya.

- 'Hello.'

Yeah,

I'm calling about the three trucks

coming for the shipping containers

up at Barton.

'For Lee?'

Yes. Yeah, that's the one.

Is there any chance

you can get 'em here earlier?

Well, soon as possible, yeah?

Yeah, quick as you can. Thanks.

'Lee must have found out

Daniel emptied their bank account.'

Dan was scared this might happen.

And Daniel took that money why?

I'm sorry, I-I just have to ask.

It was for us to leave

to disappear.

You see, Lee doesn't know about us.

Yeah, he's never mentioned you.

And after what happened to you,

Dan kept us a secret.

To To me? What do you mean?

Five or six years ago,

erm, this was before me

..Dan said you were talking about

coming to live here with him.

I WAS coming.

No, they were never gonna

let that happen.

You were a tearaway.

You could be wild, yes?

Yeah, sometimes.

Yeah, so they'd started going legit.

Well,

with Daniel using a fake name,

going round as Alex Welland.

But what if you blew their cover?

Or you told your dad,

and he came back

and tried to get in on the act?

They couldn't allow that.

And you were going to be 18.

You could do what you want.

So they took away

any reason for me to come?

Lee paid someone to tell your dad

Daniel died

in a holiday motorcycle accident

in the Philippines.

So, it was Lee who did that?

It was Lee's idea.

I knew I knew Daniel

wouldn't do that to me.

No, Tasha.

Dan went along with it.

Dan was stupid back then.

When I met him,

he was so unreliable.

I mean hopeless.

Till

..he became a dad

and different person.

Caring, devoted, loving.

But he couldn't tell Lee about you.

Dan was scared of hurting him.

You see,

Lee has very few people in his life

and would never have been OK

with Dan going off with us.

Emma? I'm sorry,

there's just one more thing. OK.

William Caine

Yes?

We're here because that name

is linked to this address,

and we believe

he may be a person of interest

in Daniel's m*rder.

But Billy's William Caine.

I'm so sorry. I have to take this.

Hi.

Just popped in to check on your mum,

and the back door's wide open

and a neighbour says she was

going into town to organise

Well, they're not sure if she said

"evacuation" or "demonstration".

Oh. Roy thinks I'm with her.

OK, I'm on my way.

Erm, look, I'll be back,

but my mum's gone missing,

and she was in an accident

last night, so

Jo, yeah, go.

Yeah? Yeah, course. Yeah.

Hi.

'Hi, what have you got?'

So, I went to the garage

and Jack's car was in

for a pre-booked regular service,

and I saw it.

'And there was no damage.

Not a mark on it.'

All right, well,

I've got something for you,

do you know the name William Caine?

His name was added

to the title deeds

on the Nanta Brownfield site,

but we haven't been able

to trace him.

He's a two-year-old boy.

Sorry?

He's a toddler, he's two.

He's Daniel's son, Billy.

I've just been out there with Tasha.

We had this address,

we didn't know what to expect,

but turns out

it's Daniel's girlfriend, Emma,

and their child.

So I've left Tasha there.

I've got to go and find Mum.

She's gone AWOL.

Where was this? Where are they?

Morton Lodge, Donfield way.

But look,

as soon as I've found Mum,

I'm gonna go back, cos Emma knows

loads of stuff about Daniel's past.

So, why don't we go together?

Yeah. Yeah.

Call us.

Right. A dozen flood warnings

have been issued across the region.

Ours is Red,

which as good as guarantees

we flood again. One sec.

Pat everything OK?

Yeah.

What is it? It's not Molly?

No.

In here.

Nothing's ever as bad as you think.

'Kelly?'

Right, they're offering 58,000.

'58?! I paid over 80 for it!'

It's only done 12,000 miles.

Well, 58's as high as they'll go

if you want t'money now.

Do you want me to shop around?

'No, I haven't got time.

Right, go ahead, sell it.

'Oh, and, Kelly, make sure the money

goes into my personal account

'and not the business account.

'It'll be swallowed up

by the bloody overdraft.

'And I'll stay on the phone.

'I wanna know

when that money's coming.'

Kelly!

Yeah. I'm doing it.

Yeah, 58,000.

Mr Radcliffe accepts that.

And if you leave the house

any time soon,

gas, electricity, water -

off, off every time,

just in case it floods

while you're away. Good idea.

Otherwise,

soon as you hear that siren,

off to the evacuation centre, yeah?

Will do. All right.

Here you go, sweetheart.

What d'you think you're doing?

Greg, will you take her home?

Excuse me, I'm helping here.

You left yer back door open, Mum,

all right?

Go home!

You're meant to be recuperating,

you were knocked off your bike

last night!

I can do what I want.

Don't we all know it?

And what a great trait that is (!)

Hey? Suit yourself

and screw the rest.

Or rather Jack Radcliffe.

Right, OK. All right,

do you want to have this out

in the street, now, yeah?

Yeah.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Keep out of this, you!

f*ck off!

Hey, do you do you wanna

talk about YOUR marriage, shall we?

Yeah? Come on, throw stones at me

if you dare!

I could walk you home if you like.

We're doing this!

Yes.

Hi, Kelly.

'Jo.'

You've got to help.

They've arrested Keith!

What, who has?

'They're all in black.'

They've got NCA on their backs.

National Crime Agency? What?

'They've hand-cuffed him

and everything!'

For what?

I don't know. I've rang Pat.

I can't get hold of him.

OK, look, I'm coming right over.

OK. OK.

Emma, can I ask you something?

Yesterday

..I was told that Daniel

came out to France three weeks ago.

To see you, yeah.

Because as soon as

we decided to leave,

you were in our plans.

So, yeah, he did go out,

he did see you.

He saw you outside, where you live.

And it was too much to come forward.

He wasn't brave enough.

So we came home and we talked.

He was going to write to you

as soon as we'd moved away,

which was going to be next week.

I thought Dan had been away

finding us our new home.

We've got a whole new life stored

away in a lock-up by the docks.

I've been there.

I I found the key.

I've got the money.

Police.

In. Come in!

Shoes off.

Shoes off. And coats!

Shoes and coats off.

Get off.

This is our new house!

Look, there.

It's off, now calm down.

Calm down? Calm down?

I'll calm down when YOU tell me

why you've been ignoring

Keith's texts all morning.

He hasn't been texting me

all morning. Come on.

You were telling him

to stop bothering you last night.

Could you make a cup of tea

and tell me

what's happened now, please?

I don't wanna make tea!

I wanna know

why you said that to him.

I heard it. I heard you say,

"Stop texting me."

Hi?

Emma, I've hidden the money.

Hold on.

'Hello?'

'Hello?'

What's going on, Jo?

What do you mean?

'Police are here.

How's that happened?'

You're the only one

who knows where we are.

So you can ring 'em!

Well, if they've arrested him,

then that's it.

You've got to let it play out.

Don't walk away. Don't walk away!

I didn't see anything, it's locked.

I'll call you.

Where's he going?

What is happening?

Why is it all going wrong?

And it's our f*cking

wedding anniversary!

Kelly?

Erm, Keith's job,

what does he do, exactly?

He, er whatchamacallit

..logs shipping containers

in and out.

Mum, I'm going round to Lara's,

yeah?

Oh, hi, Jo.

Hi.

What's going on?

You arrest me for what?

You won't say. Let me go.

I have said, but I repeat,

so please listen.

We believe you're intentionally

withholding information

in relation to the m*rder

of Daniel Eden,

AKA Alex Welland,

and are attempting to

obstruct us with our investigation.

And because of the seriousness

of this offence,

I'm going to ask you again.

Do you want legal representation?

Don't need any. I've done nothing.

Ask me anything.

If I know it, you can have it.

Who was the man

you were with at Nanta?

Lee Ellison.

He and my brother go back 20 years.

They stole stuff,

and shipped it abroad.

Don't ask me what.

But I can show you

where to find him on my phone.

Your passcode?

Tell me.

0-5-0-5-19.

The day I thought Daniel died.

Go to the Maps.

Uh-huh.

Should be a pin drop

on that first screen.

He lives there in a barn.

That's out near Barton, I think.

Got it.

Why didn't you tell us

who he was before?

I thought he was my friend.

I thought he was looking after me.

He wasn't.

He's a liar.

He's manipulative and controlling.

And I found out today

he's the one behind telling me

Daniel died five years ago.

Lee did that to me.

And who knows, maybe in the end,

he's made it come true.

Sorry, what are you

what are you saying?

I'm saying

..did Lee k*ll my brother?

Is Pat inside?

No.

I last saw him in the town centre.

Everything OK?

Anything we can do?

How's Molly?

Yeah, she's OK.

I-I just have to, er

All look straight at the lens.

Shall we go

and take some at Uplands?

Oh, for God's sake.

If you can just look forward?

That's great.

That's Oh, that's lovely.

Pat?

Pick up.

Oh, come on, pick up!

Far side of these woods.

We're looking for a Lee Ellison.

You're blocking off this exit route.

Got it.

You two, follow me.

'Hello?'

Yeah. The truck's coming to Barton.

'Yeah, yeah'

No, no, they're not here yet.

'They won't be'

That's why I'm calling you.

'All right, mate, he's on his way.'

Yeah. Hang on a sec, mate.

Hang Hang on. 'I'll just

double check for you, all right?'

Yeah. Yeah.

No.

No, no, no.

f*ck you, Jo, man. f*ck you.

Call your trucks back!

Turn them around now!

Suspect on foot,

heading to the barn.

'Coming your way.'

I've got this way.

Suspect in sight.

He's armed,

getting into a silver vehicle.

Driving off.

Trying to get the reg

Lima, Golf, one

A silver pick-up.

'Do not follow.

I repeat, do not follow.

'All units keep radio transmissions

to a minimum.'

Suspect gone. Lost contact.

'Hi, it's Jo.

'I'm not here right now,

so leave us a message, yeah?'

Well, I'm calling to say sorry,

if you wanna do the same.

You know,

I'm I'm sorry if you are.

I'm sorry anyway.

And

they say the river's rising,

so call me, yeah?

I wanna see you.

Where you proposed.

Very fitting, for where we end.

How much do you know?

Well,

I'm just a trainee detective, Pat,

but from the two texts I saw,

I'd say

Lee Ellison has all of Jack

Radcliffe's stolen goods to ship,

which Keith, out at the docks,

would log in and log out, right?

And they're both talking to you,

on your burner phone,

so you're liaising.

And if you know Lee,

what's the bet you also knew Daniel?

And if you knew Daniel, then

I'm thinking about all the times

that you wanted me

to stop investigating his death,

and how angry you became

when I persisted,

and then helpful,

and then protective,

wiping the caretaker's

phone message.

But protecting who, Pat?

From what? Because

..you're the only person

who knew where Tasha was today.

I didn't tell anyone else.

So YOU shopped her.

And why would you do that?

Because you thought that she

would tell them why she was here.

She'd tell them about the DNA,

and then I'D be sold down the river!

Yes, but sacrifice me

to hide what, exactly?
