[Ellie] Previously on Broadchurch... [Steve] She says she forgives you.

About the pendant.

I'll get messages.

Psychic messages.

And you're saying Danny Latimer wants us to know that he was put in a boat before he died?

I'm not his best friend.

I hated him.

If someone deletes something from a hard drive, is it gone forever?

[Rev.

Paul] Tom.

[Alec] You assaulted a child after you'd been drinking.

You have no alibi for the night of Danny's death.

-When are we going to talk about the baby?

-[huffs] You stay away.

I know about your husband.

And your children.

It's Danny's skateboard.

Who gave it to you, sweetheart?

[Susan] Where's my dog?

Bloody answer me!

Where is the dog?

What we going to do with you, boy, eh?

There's been a break-in at the cliff-top hut.

Someone's reported torchlight inside.

[Ellie screams] [Alec] Stop!

Come on!

[groaning] [indistinct shouting] [labored breathing] -What're those?

-Grapes.

What did you bring grapes for?

I hoped you might choke on the seeds.

-They're seedless.

-Now don't be a smartarse.

-I'm sensing you're angry with me.

-You nearly died on me.

No.

No, you did.

They told me.

-They can't do that.

-They told me you'd been here before, discharged yourself, against their advice.

Heart arrhythmia.

You should've told me!

Bloody hell, is there no privacy here?

Can't they fix you?

They want...

They want to put a pacemaker in me, um, but they don't know whether I'll survive the operation.

How long have you been like this?

Eighteen months or so.

It's got worse, the last month or two.

So, you came down here, you took that case, you took that job, knowing you weren't up to it?

We're nearly there, Miller.

That was the killer last night, I'm sure of it.

-[breathing heavily] -Sir, you're unfit for duty.

I have to finish this.

I can't let the family down.

Please, Miller.

Don't tell the Chief Super.

Please.

I'm going back to work.

Miller, wait.

Please don't go.

Miller... Come back, Miller, that's an order.

Miller!

[Brian] I heard that shitface is laid up.

Shitface?

That's what the lads call him.

Shitface.

Not much of a nickname, is it?

Well, he does look like shit a lot of the time, though, doesn't he?

Is he going to be all right?

I don't know.

Have you found anything?

We're only just up and running.

Your boys are checking the slope.

So, you didn't catch proper sight of this person then?

No.

Wish I had.

Right, well, if you go through, we can start at the back and do a complete sweep all the way through.

-[Ellie] All right.

-[Brian] Have a look in here.

SOCO are back up at the hut after last night.

Frank, go through our list of people of interest, those with no alibis or questionable alibis on the night of Danny's death, knock on their doors, find out their movements from last night.

The likelihood is the killer was there.

We were very close.

They are rattled and they will make more mistakes.

We have Susan Wright in custody.

We've connected her to the site where Danny's body was found.

We're...

I'm continuing to question her, but time is running out before we have to apply for an extension.

Now, I know this may sound daft, but we need to find her dog Vince.

Nish has a picture.

The dog is a priority, she's very attached to it, and I think it would help her to talk.

Uniform have turned up nothing so far.

Now you probably know, the boss was taken ill last night during the pursuit.

I don't know when he'll be back.

But we carry on, do not get distracted.

Our duty is still to the Latimer family.

[Alec] Thank you for everything you've done, bye for now.

-[Ellie] Don't be ridiculous.

-Don't start, Miller.

-You can't be here.

-Well, I am.

-You'll kill yourself.

-If that's what it takes.

-No.

It's not worth dying for.

-Not for you, maybe.

Go away!

We can manage without you.

That's what you've wanted right from the start.

This job, the job you think I stole.

What?

For God's sake, sir!

Come on, Miller, me out, you get to lead.

-Dream come true!

-I wouldn't want your job.

Don't be daft, if you get offered it, you'd take it.

No, I wouldn't be up to it.

-Yeah, you're right.

-What?

Well, it's a tough job.

You've found your level.

A rural DS.

Keep within your limits.

Don't tell me what my limits are.

Then don't tell me to go home.

I can still solve this, otherwise why am I still here?

Oh, for God's sake.

All right then.

[indistinct conversations] [conversations stop] All right, everyone, back to work.

[labored breathing] [door opens] -How are you?

-Fine.

I've referred you to the Chief Medical Officer first thing tomorrow.

I'm not leaving till this is solved.

You don't get a choice.

As soon as he sees you, you're done, Alec.

Why did you take this job if you knew you were this ill?

You all right?

Bring me up to speed with great economy.

Uh, Susan Wright's alibi for the night of Danny's death checks out.

The owner of the caravan park saw her sitting in the window watching TV with her dog when he left about 1:30.

They'd had a birthday party in the bar, that's why he was so late leaving that night.

Um, we've had a match at the hut on the cliff for her DNA and prints, but the owner has already confirmed that she does clean there.

No matches for any DNA on Danny's body.

So, she didn't kill Danny?

But she knows something.

I'm sure of it.

Then don't sit there talking to me.

Go on.

Get it out of her.

Go on!

[door closes] [Ellie] Four cigarettes matching the brand you smoke were excavated close to the spot where Danny Latimer's body was found.

There are traces from the skateboard in your cupboard.

Your prints are on the board, as are Danny's.

You lied to us about Mark Latimer getting the keys to the hut.

Now, what were you doing on the beach -near Danny's body?

-Where's my dog?

Where's Vince?

-I understand from your record... -You don't understand anything, love.

Susan, I've been on this case a long time now.

I have lost so much patience.

If you don't tell me how you came by the board, I will have you charged, you will be in custody.

And when I find your dog, I will have him put down.

Now, tell me what happened.

I was just going out, up from our caravan, up the hill onto the cliff top.

When we got up there, I saw it.

Saw what?

The boy.

Lying there.

Anything else?

We walked back down the hill onto the beach.

And what time was this?

3:00, maybe 4:00.

That's when you walk your dog?

It's lovely during the night round here.

So, you walked down onto the beach?

He was all... splayed out.

The skateboard was next to him.

He was beautiful.

You've got children?

Yeah.

If you've got kids, I don't understand how you could stand over Danny's body, smoke and then carry on walking your dog.

I knew he'd be found.

I didn't want to get involved.

You people destroyed my family.

How?

Don't matter.

It does.

Because it affected how you were when you saw Danny's body.

We had two girls.

My husband was an electrician.

He used to have sex with the oldest.

But I didn't know.

Then he tried it on with the young one.

Her sister was having none of it.

She wanted to protect her little baby sister.

So, she got herself killed.

He told me she'd gone traveling, but... she'd never said nothing to me.

After a while, people started asking questions.

Then you lot came, took the young one into care.

Arrested him.

He told 'em that I knew, that I was part of it.

But I didn't know.

I never knew.

I was pregnant.

Social services came.

Took the baby.

They said I wasn't a fit mother.

[sniffles] Everything I told the police got twisted, thrown back at me.

He was convicted.

Got life.

Hung himself in his cell ten months later.

Death... Once it's got its claws into you, it never lets go.

When I was standing on that beach, looking at that boy's body, I just kept wondering if...

If my girl looked that peaceful after he killed her.

I don't think she did.

[Maggie] Okay, petal, yes, you are a gem, a precious gem, no, mum's the word.

Thank you.

[breathing heavily] Olly!

Olly!

Here!

Looking a bit giddy there.

-Yvonne, in the hospital... -Yeah.

...doing her welcome carer thing.

Who does she see?

DI Hardy!

Well, you know Yvonne, she went straight into military eavesdropping mode.

He was rushed in last night, heart problems, serious.

Now he's discharged himself.

-What, he's gone back to work?

-Exactly!

Oh, have we got a story brewing here, sweetheart.

How would you like to put it to him?

You were the last person I expected to call.

Really?

Surely nothing's a surprise to you.

Yes, that's very funny.

I've never heard that one before.

What do you want?

The Latimer case.

I'll take anything now.

'Cause I'm running out of time.

So, if you have anything for me, give it to me now.

Well, thank you.

It's about time.

Look, I've been trying to tell you, I got a message from Danny.

It was someone he knew.

It was someone close to home.

What does that mean?

Close, geographically, family, friends, what?

I don't know.

I... [sighs] Just don't ignore it.

Prove to me that you're not a bullshitter.

I gave you something.

I told you, and you just pretended to ignore it.

I said...

I said she forgives you for the pendant.

What does that mean?

You already know.

I can see it.

I haven't got a clue what it means, all I get are fragments.

And that's what I got from you.

That and you've been here before.

What?

Just that.

You have.

You have!

You've been here before.

[stammering] I'm right, aren't I?

I am.

How does it feel?

Having to eat humble pie like this?

-[Ollie] DI Hardy.

-No.

You don't know what I want.

Yeah, but I know the answer's no.

How're you feeling?

-What did you say?

-You were at the hospital.

I don't know what the hell you're playing at.

You were rushed to hospital.

Heart problems.

You discharged yourself.

Look, I don't want to stitch you up.

Genuinely.

So, what do you want?

An exclusive.

[Beth] Everybody wants us to see counselors.

But I don't want to share what I'm feeling with a stranger.

Well, don't rule it out.

I mean, there are some really great people locally.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but talking will help.

Well, we thought that, um... Well, Beth suggested and I agreed that maybe you could counsel us.

You know, we... That's why we came.

Oh.

Right.

[Beth] You know us, you know what it's been like.

And you're kind.

We just thought you could help, you know?

But not from a religious point of view.

You can mention God if you like.

We just don't want banging over the head with it.

No, I understand.

No banging.

Well, listen, I'd be honored.

But why now?

The baby.

We're due for the scan.

But I don't know if I want to see it.

I want to want it, but I don't.

-Don't say that.

-It's all right, Mark.

My heart is still full of Danny.

-There isn't room for another baby.

-There will be room.

Stop telling me how I'm going to feel.

Because you have no idea and no ability to understand.

Shutting this out is not an option for me.

I can't do that... That boxing thing off that you do.

I have to carry another life in me for six more months.

Feeding off me, breathing from me, sharing my blood.

While you're still grieving.

Yes.

And I can't let Danny go.

Nobody's telling you to...

Sorry.

[sighs] It's difficult, isn't it?

Sorry, you talk.

All I want is to swap places with Danny.

Let me be taken instead of him.

In the night, I lie there and I think, "What would I go through to have him back?"

I'd be raped, I'd be tortured, I'd have a gang of men on me, I'd be left for dead if it meant he was safe.

Are you all right, Mark?

Yeah.

Just need some answers, don't we?

Some help.

You have a line to the big man, why don't you ask him?

'Cause we're drowning down here.

Just want it done, don't we?

I mean, when we met, she was 15, just Beth, she was just beautiful, she was so sunny all the time.

And now this life with me, it's just destroyed her, hasn't it?

I mean, that girl's gone.

So, I just keep thinking how your life would be if you'd never met me, you know?

This isn't on you.

Can I make a suggestion?

New life is a gift.

And maybe you can take in this gift even if you don't want it yet.

Go for the scan.

See how you feel.

Because God has sent you this life.

And you may not agree, but perhaps he's... [sighs] sent you not what you want, but what you need.

[Ellie] See, what I'm struggling with is I know those cliffs.

If you're walking your dog, you can't see straight down.

You'd have to be right on the edge in order to see Danny's body lying on the beach.

The angle's wrong.

So, what you're saying doesn't ring true.

If you don't believe me, that's your problem.

I think you saw more than you're telling us.

So, have a good think, or I will charge you for obstructing a murder inquiry.

I didn't see anything.

Like you didn't see what your husband was up to?

You were out walking when Danny's body was laid on the beach.

What did you see?

A boat.

I wasn't on the cliffs.

I was on the beach.

I saw a boat come in.

What sort of boat?

Little, like a rowing boat.

But it had a motor on the back.

I saw it come into shore.

[Ellie] How many people on board?

-One.

-Are you sure?

Certain.

I saw him get off.

Him?

Are you sure it was a man?

Yeah.

And what did that person do?

He carried the body off the boat and laid it on the beach.

Then he got back on the boat and went off.

-Which direction?

-West.

And did you recognize the person that laid Danny's body on the beach?

Susan.

Yeah.

Yeah, I did.

[Nigel] Mum, please go back inside.

Ellie, can you take my mum in please?

[indistinct chatter on police radio] [indistinct] [dog whimpering] [cell phone ringing] Mark?

-Yeah?

-Mate, it's Nige.

-All right?

-I want you to hear this from me.

The police have taken me in.

And you're my phone call.

Taken you in for what?

They think I had something to do with Danny.

It's all wrong, this.

You know that.

Hey.

Hey, I'll see you when you're done, yeah?

Don't worry about anything.

You just... You tell 'em the truth, all right, and stay strong, all right?

[voice breaking] All right, I...

I have to go.

I have to talk to them.

[Alec] Right, you take Susan.

I'll take Nigel.

Find out how she knows him, what the connection is.

I'll see where he says he was that night.

And why the hell he had her dog.

You sure you're all right to question them?

Are you feeling okay?

Spectacular.

Run me through where you were the night Danny Latimer was killed.

We went through this weeks ago when you had Mark in.

I was at home with my mum and we was watching telly.

What were you watching?

Um... A show about baking.

Mum loves that.

Do you know this woman, Nigel?

Don't think so.

Do you own a dog?

Not really.

Not really?

What, sometimes you do?

There's a dog comes round part time?

-[chuckles] No.

-This amusing to you?

-I don't own a dog.

-Why was there a dog in your back garden?

Someone asked me to look after it for them.

The owner.

This woman.

Susan Wright?

Who you said you didn't know.

See, if you're going to lie, you have to be consistent.

'Cause then there's the issue of your alibi for the night of Danny Latimer's death.

The one you told us about when we were interviewing Mark.

It was good enough for then, but not now.

Your mum already told us you weren't in all that night.

You went out at half 10 for last orders.

That's what she said when we had Mark Latimer here.

So, where were you, Nigel?

[Ellie] You must know Nigel pretty well to recognize him at night from that distance.

When did you last see Nigel?

Couple of weeks ago.

He came to the caravan.

He had a crossbow.

Threatened to kill me.

-Okay.

Why did he do that?

-You'll have to ask him.

[Ellie] No, I'm asking you.

He didn't like what I was saying.

And what were you saying?

Don't remember.

Don't remember what you said to make a man threaten you with a crossbow?

No, not really.

Happens a lot to you, does it?

Off and on.

It ain't always a crossbow.

So, Nigel threatens you for some unknown reason, and you frame him as the killer?

It was him carrying that body.

[Alec] How do you know Susan Wright?

I don't want to talk about her.

You should have her arrested, have her in for harassment.

I've told her to leave me alone, but she wouldn't.

When did she start harassing you?

Moment she got here, like, four, five months back.

What's she harassing you about?

Susan Wright told us she believes you killed Danny Latimer.

She said she saw you on the beach with a boat, -dragging Danny's body on to the shore.

-Well, she's lying.

Did you drag Danny's body on to the beach, Nigel?

-No!

-Did you kill Danny?

No!

He's my best mate's boy!

Why would I do that?

So, why is Susan Wright saying otherwise?

What's she got to harass you about?

She says she's my mum.

[Ellie] Her son?

And she's accusing him of murder?

What's going on between them two?

You'd better ask her.

[sighing] [Susan] They took him away from me when everything happened.

Twenty-five years.

Then the law changed.

You could request contact.

Took me 18 months to track him down.

I didn't know I was adopted until she came.

[Susan] He reacted badly.

He didn't want nothing to do with me.

He threatened me with a crossbow.

I know.

And that was stupid, but with everything that was going on... She don't belong here.

There's enough to deal with.

Does he know about your family, about what happened?

You don't tell him.

Susan, what I'm having trouble with is, if you're his mum and you want to be reconciled with him, why did you tell us he was on the beach that night?

'Cause I'm a mum, and whatever my child had done, I would want to protect them.

I am protecting him.

I told you because I'm scared.

For him.

Because it's not his fault.

If he's his father's son, what is he capable of?

What might he have done?

I can't just let it happen.

Not again.

Nigel, you need to tell us where you were the night Danny died.

That night, I went out just for a couple of hours.

I went to the estate past Oak Farm.

They've been laying down pheasants.

I just went and got a couple, that's all.

I mean, he's got dozens, he doesn't even know.

You were nicking pheasants?

Yeah.

The butcher in town takes 'em off my hands.

It's not like I'm gonna make my fortune working with Mark.

But I forgot to fill up the van, so, um, I siphoned some... some diesel out of his tractor.

And then I cut through the barbed wire fence to make it look like a break-in.

But I was nowhere near that beach.

Whatever she thought she saw, she didn't.

So, she's lying?

Mate, I don't even know who she is.

Do you want to know who she is?

Because in here, there are newspaper articles about her.

About her husband.

It's your family, Nigel.

Interview paused, 3:02 p.m. -You did what?

-He wanted to know.

-I promised her!

-What did you do that for?

-[Ellie] I was gaining her trust.

-I was gaining his!

We have to cut through what's connected to Danny and what isn't.

But you're the only one running out of time here!

These are people's lives you're trampling on.

I should make a complaint.

Go ahead.

Add it to the list.

I'll sign it for you.

He's a suspect.

He was seen with the body.

The information that I gave him has bearing on the witness who was accusing him.

You should've let her tell him.

I don't believe Nigel is capable of killing Danny.

Everyone we have interviewed is capable.

It just takes the right circumstances.

[groans] And there's your view of the world.

I don't know how you sleep.

Who says I sleep?

Have you seen this?

I got them to trace the number of the call last night, the one that phoned in telling us a light was on at the hut.

It's Danny's mobile.

It's the missing smartphone.

Oh, my God.

The killer phoned in.

Why would they do that?

Why tell us where they were and then run?

That doesn't make sense.

[groans] For God's sake.

As if working with you wasn't annoying enough.

What are they playing at?

All right.

Get Nigel and Susan released on bail.

Have them lodge their passports here and report in every day.

No skipping town.

You're going to let them both out there together?

I'll cobble together some makeshift surveillance, use some of those numpties they drafted in.

Maybe Nigel and Susan are both lying.

Let's see what happens when they're released.

Light the blue touch paper.

And then retire.

-Well, we're running out of time.

-No, you might be.

[cell phone ringing] Hello?

Yeah?

Yeah, I'll be right over.

Over where?

You... [groans] [Rev.

Paul] I've got something for you.

This is Tom Miller's laptop.

I caught him smashing it up in the woods.

You just stumbled across him?

Yeah, was out walking.

It's the route I take.

Do you know what stuff he was trying to get rid of?

I have no idea.

Why did he do that just after his best mate's died?

Were they best friends?

I didn't see much evidence of it.

I had to break up a fight between them.

When was this?

Couple of months ago.

They were having a row before I came into the room.

Tom was really, really laying into Danny.

And he's that much bigger.

I reported it to both sets of parents.

I thought Ellie would've told you.

No.

She didn't mention it.

Look, I should tell you that Tom knows that I have this.

He threatened to tell you that I abused Danny if I handed it over.

He said that?

And did you?

-Abuse Danny?

-[scoffs] No.

What were you talking to Tom Miller about at Jack Marshall's wake?

I was just making sure he was okay.

Thanks.

You need to report in to us every evening at 6:00 p.m. Why do you keep looking at me like that?

Back then, in your own house.

How could you not know?

[Alec] Listen, I need a wee favor on the quiet, things are a bit complicated here.

Can you get stuff off damaged hard drives?

Oh, great, I owe you one.

Listen, erm, will you send whatever you find to my personal e-mail?

Great, you're a star.

[Maggie] All right, can you just take us through what happened last night?

I was pursuing a suspect.

There was an incident and I was injured.

Can you name the suspect?

No.

And I'm asking you, don't publish this yet.

Just give me a couple of days.

All right.

Olly just has a couple of questions first.

Oh, does he?

The Sandbrook case fell apart at the trial.

Tell me what went wrong.

Are you serious?

He's more than serious.

He's my protege.

Look, we've seen you here.

We know you're doing the best for the family, for the town.

And I don't think it was any different on Sandbrook.

So, tell me what happened.

How did it all go so wrong?

You can't keep it secret forever.

Yeah.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe it's time.

We had our prime suspect, but all the evidence was circumstantial.

Um, but then during a search of a car that he'd just sold, one of my DSes found the pendant belonging to one of the girls.

There were clearly prints on it.

It was the smoking gun.

My DS was taking that bagged evidence back to HQ.

And she [sighs] stopped at a hotel for a drink.

And her car was broken into.

Car radio, valuables and her bag were all taken.

Just a quick smash and grab, local kids probably.

And the pendant?

Yeah.

We couldn't make the case after that.

So, he's still out there.

Why did she stop off at the hotel?

She was having an affair with one of the other DSes on the team.

She thought she'd celebrate.

But this was all reported at the time.

The Herald got the story, but they said it was you.

Your car.

You took the blame?

It happened on my watch.

[Olly] But she deceived you.

This detective sergeant... She was my wife.

And we have a daughter.

And I didn't want her knowing that about her mother.

So... [Olly] You took the blame.

You took all that flak for years.

[Maggie] The family think it's you.

But you didn't do it.

This is what made you ill, isn't it?

People need to know about this.

Do they?

Really?

Why?

Just do me a favor and tell the family first, will you?

Just tell them I haven't given up on Sandbrook and that the case is still open.

[sighs] And then after that, do whatever you like with it.

Call your friend Karen.

This is what she's always wanted.

[clears throat] On one condition.

You do not name that DS.

Right.

Well.

I'm done.

[groans softly] [exhales sharply] [rain pattering] [door opens] [Susan] How did you get in here?

If you don't go within the hour, I will gut this dog whilst you sleep.

If I go, I'm not coming back.

We'll never see each other again.

I can do that.

I've done it plenty of times.

You contact the police and tell them you made a mistake.

It wasn't me you saw.

And then you go.

You're the spit of him, Nigel.

You've got him in you.

And it was you I saw.

That was great, Mrs. Latimer, thank you.

Um, Dean, love, can you just call me Beth?

Mrs. Latimer makes me feel like I'm Mark's mum.

[Dean chuckles] -And none of us want that.

-[all chuckle] Oh, uh, I got you something.

For me?

For all of you.

For the family.

For letting me in.

And for the future.

But mainly for the new baby.

It's the first one, for the new... -I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

-Oh, don't worry, mate.

It's, uh...

It's all a bit muddled in with everything else.

He was a good lad, Dan.

[Mark] Hmm.

Heard anything about Nige?

No, I asked Pete, but he's heard no news.

It's not Nige, Dad.

Don't go thinking that.

It won't be.

Chloe's right.

It can't be Nige.

Him and Dan really got on.

I saw it every time we went out.

What do you mean "went out"?

Catching animals.

They'd come up to the farm and then we'd go out from there, late evenings.

Danny said it was okay.

Nige said you knew.

No.

No.

We didn't know.

[Alec] Miller!

Forensics from the hut.

Boot print in the mud up the hill match with one they found inside.

It's a man's, size 10.

What's Nigel Carter's shoe size?

Ten.

So, what, do you think Susan did see Nige?

Are we missing something here?

What if another person was involved?

Is this something for the morning?

Oh, by the way, your boy and Danny.

Did they fall out?

No.

Paul Coates, the vicar, said they did.

Said there was a fight, he mentioned it to you.

What?

No, he didn't.

Are you saying that I've been covering for my son?

-No.

-Yeah, you do that when you're on the back foot, you lash out.

When did Danny last come to your house?

It's 2:00 a.m.

I don't know.

The last month?

Last two months?

A bit longer.

Can we borrow Tom's computer?

Fine.

Good night.

[whispering] What're you doing?

Where is his computer?

Ell, it's half 2 in the morning.

[thunder rumbling] I'm sorry, but I don't know where it is.

If we go through his room now, we'll wake him up.

Do it tomorrow.

Yeah, that's your answer to everything.

Do it bloody tomorrow.

What?

What have I done?

Yeah, what have you done?

You can't even finish painting this room.

Six bloody months!

For God's sake.

Go to sleep, Ell.

Of course.

Shit!
