♪ Carol: We just have a couple of questions.

Liza: Right.

What's this about?

This person called at Julie Conway's house three hours after your meeting.

We're wondering if you recognize her.

Yeah, it's me.

But you told us you didn't contact Julie.

What was you doing there, Ms. Varnham?

I made her an offer for Ravenstoop, which she refused.

I thought she wanted more money, but... she said she'd never sell it to me.

And how did that make you feel?

Angry.

Anybody would be.

As angry as you were when you saw Julie here at the house with your father?

You see, I know that because your brother told us that you called him in a rage, demanding that he keep evil Julie away from your father.

Why are you lying to us, Ms. Varnham?

Ray: I can't talk for long because I'm on air in ten minutes, but this is where the magic happens.

Wow, yeah.

Who funds all this?

Oh, you know, grants, trusts, public donations.

It's run by the community for the community.

It's all volunteers like me.

Yeah.

Must be difficult to keep up with the big stations, though, is it?

Well, we highlight local issues.

That's our USP-- things that are important to people who live around here.

Yeah.

So "Riff With Ray" is a total talk show, is it, or...?

Well, all the shows play some music, but mine is mostly a forum for people to let off steam, you know, highlight issues and promote events... Um...how can I help?

No.

Sorry, mate.

No, it's just the call log.

I thought I'd get a look at the call-- Oh!

Sure.

Yeah.

This is the one that come in after the appeal.

9:47, during a music break.

He didn't want to be on air.

Right.

And did you take the call?

I did.

All the hosts run their own shows.

Oh, right.

And you had no idea who it was?

Well, it wasn't one of my regulars, so no.

What's this about?

Oh, no, it's just that the caller said that they saw Luke Marbury up there, you know, two months ago in a pub up in Craydale that's been shut for over a year.

Oh!

I'm only the messenger.

There's plenty of crazies out there.

This must be hell for his sister.

Would you give her my best?

Yeah.

Of course, yeah.

Thanks, Ray.

All right, yeah?

Darren: I'll have a look now for you.

All right.

Cheers, Darren.

Ah!

So you are alive.

I've been calling you all day.

Yeah.

I was chasing up that sighting in Craydale.

You went to Craydale?

Why didn't you tell me?

I took Eve with me.

Thought she'd be useful, you know?

She knew the place, people that Luke used to mix with.

Why didn't you pick up?

Signal's terrible up there.

Ah!

And?

Call was a hoax.

There's no way that pub was open two months ago.

Ah.

So someone's playing us, and they're not the only one.

Liza Varnham claims that the reason she lied to us is to avoid us pointing the finger at her, but I'm not sure I believe her.

Carol: What is it?

What have you found?

Oh, right.

So on the left are the letters Julie sent to Jed, and on the right are the letters that Luke sent to Eve.

The handwriting looks similar.

I'd say they look identical.

So you think the letters from Luke to Eve were written by Julie Conway?

I'd say we need an expert to confirm it, but it all ties in with those fake sightings up in Craydale.

A lot of information designed to mislead us.

But the hoax caller was a man.

Which tells me that Julie isn't the only person out there who wants us to believe that Luke Marbury is still alive.

We need to find that MisPer file.

I'll get Darren back on to it.

Yeah.

Jed Varnham.

Him and Julie were an item years ago.

He must know something about Luke's relationship with her.

So why don't we ask him?

Let's do it.

Does the name Luke Marbury mean anything to you, Jed?

He went missing about 1989 up at Allerton.

Luke wrote his sister letters over the years to let them know that she was OK. And what has this got to do with me?

Well, Luke and Julie were friends as teenagers.

I didn't even know Julie then.

The letters were written over a period of time that you two were in a relationship.

And we have now reason to believe that Luke didn't write the letters.

The letters were written by Julie.

What?

Why would she do that?

We thought you might know.

Well, I don't.

Never even heard of Luke Marbury.

And as far as I know, Julie never wrote him any letters.

Caller: It's all the rich incomers, Ray, happy to pay silly money.

My grandchildren can't even afford to buy a shed in the town they grew up in.

It's a total disgrace.

Thanks, Mary.

See, there's a view shared by a lot of you this evening.

I remember a time when this town were a community of people who'd lived here for generations.

The world's gone mad, my friends.

Let's see if our next caller agrees.

What's your name, and where are you calling from?

My name's Luke, and you know exactly where I am.

Well, what do you want to say, Luke?

I think you know, Ray.

Why don't you share it with everyone?

Get it off your chest.

If you don't...

I will.

[Presses button, dial tone] [Buzz, door unlocks] Thanks for coming, Ridley.

Yeah.

Your call sounded very urgent.

I got some bad news.

It's Mum.

The doctor says she's dying.

Stomach cancer.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

She were always there for me, no matter what.

Supported me through thick and thin.

I--I need to see her, Ridley.

If you were a Category B prisoner, maybe, but you're Category A.

Not a chance.

There must be some special license I could apply for.

I mean, you could put a word in.

Can't change the rules, even if I wanted to.

But you don't... want to.

I didn't say that.

It is what it is.

Half an hour.

That's all I'm asking.

It might be the last time I see her.

Our kid's vulnerable.

You know that.

Needs me to explain what's going on.

Otherwise he'll lose it.

And Mum's got no one else.

There's nothing I can do.

Well, he won't be coping, Ridley, and neither am I-- stuck in here while my whole family's being blown apart.

[Knock knock] [Buzz, door unlocks] Now you know how I feel.

[Door shuts] [Telephone ringing] Ooh, ooh.

Eve.

You all right?

Alex, are you free tomorrow night?

It's just that Jamie and the lads have, um... have asked me to sing again at Marling's, and I'd love you to come.

Yeah, then I shall be there.

That's great.

That's great.

See you then.

[Eve hangs up] Tech got a result on Ray Trevice's phone records.

There was no call to that number at 9:47.

But I saw it on the log.

According to them, it was manually altered the following day.

It looks like Ray is our hoaxer.

Really?

Listen to this.

Ray on recording: What's your name, and where are you calling from?

Male voice on recording: My name's Luke, and you know exactly where I am.

Ray: What do you want to say, Luke?

Man: I think you know, Ray.

Why don't you share it with everyone?

Get it off your chest.

If you don't, I will.

Tech traced the number.

It's Duncan Darwin.

I've told Mr. Ridley everything that I know.

So why were you on Ray Trevice's show last night pretending to be Luke Marbury?

Not here.

Duncan: Ray Trevice... isn't the man you think he is-- Mr. Community Radio, everybody's best mate.

Ridley: Who is he, then?

Someone you'd never want anywhere near your kids.

Why do you say that?

[Sighs] Ray's shop... was a mecca for teenagers back in the day.

Everybody idolized him, [Voice cracks] which is just the way he wanted it.

Sorry.

It's OK, Duncan.

Take your time.

First it was free records, then it was parties above the shop.

He used to measure kids on the wall, see who was tallest, shortest, who'd grown the most, like he was everybody's fun dad.

But it was just... an excuse... to get a bit closer.

Chose his victims well.

Troubled, neglected.

Julie Conway?

I tried to warn her, but she wouldn't listen.

She liked the attention.

Ray acted like it was all normal behavior.

Did Luke Marbury go to any of these parties?

Julie got him involved.

Now she's dead and Ray's walking around scot-free, like none of it ever happened.

Duncan... when I showed you that photo of Julie... you said you didn't know her.

I've never told anyone... about any of this, not even me wife.

[Duncan sniffling] [Exhales] But when I heard what happened to Julie...

I knew it was time.

You think Ray's got something to do with her death?

You were asking questions about Luke.

Ray wouldn't have liked that.

He'd want to make sure that Julie kept her mouth shut.

Her drinking made her a liability.

[Cell phone ringing] [Beep] Look, I've got to pick me daughter up.

I never let her walk anywhere on her own.

Thank you.

[Door handle rattles] Right.

Well, I've rang him five times.

He's left us no option.

I can't go in without a warrant.

But I can.

[Door bursts open] Ray?

Ray?

Ridley?

This ties in with Duncan's statement.

Right.

♪ Look at these.

These kids are Jack's age.

Ridley: That's Julie Conway.

Oh, look.

His phone.

[Clicks tongue] Right.

Let's see where he is.

Raymond?

Ray?

Where's Darren?

I've been trying to call him.

I think we're gonna have to start without him.

Yeah, all right.

OK. Good morning, everyone.

If you'd like to open your files.

[Carol sighs] So, yesterday, Ridley and I found this man, Ray Trevice, dead in the flat above his record shop.

He'd hung himself.

Earlier that day, we'd obtained information from a Duncan Darwin that led us there.

Duncan gave us a detailed and, it has to be said, harrowing account of Ray Trevice's involvement in the historic serial abuse of vulnerable teenagers.

What period was this?

Well, according to Darwin, he was most active in the mid- to late eighties.

And we're sure he's reliable?

Ridley: Oh, yeah.

No, we found photographs and evidence in Trevice's flat that backs up Duncan's statement.

How does this relate to our murder case?

Carol: Well, Julie Conway can be seen in several of the photographs, and she can indeed be seen with Ray Trevice himself in some of them.

Duncan Darwin is also present, as is... Luke Marbury.

Why would Ray Trevice kill Julie Conway now?

Well, when Ridley started asking questions about Luke Marbury, it unnerved him.

It would be reasonable to assume that Ray Trevice needed to ensure that she would keep her mouth shut.

Good work, Carol.

Thank you, everyone.

Looks like we've found our man.

Ridley: Yeah, but we also found incriminating photographs of Julie Conway at another location.

Ray Trevice may not be the only person involved.

Goodwin: Well, hang on.

Hang on there, Ridley.

Before we start expanding the search, we need to target our limited resources on nailing Ray Trevice as Julie Conway's killer.

What, pause all other lines of inquiry?

For now, yes.

♪ Ridley?

Come over here a sec.

So I finally heard back from the Varnhams' solicitor.

It turns out that Julian Varnham's will hasn't been amended since 1989.

Ridley: So Julie Conway was always going to inherit that house?

Boss?

Darren, where have you been?

In the archives.

I found Luke Marbury's MisPer report.

Oh.

Where?

Concealed in a box of RTAs from 1989.

Signed out by a DCI.

So it was deliberately misfiled?

And here's why.

The day before he went missing... Luke Marbury came into this station to make a serious complaint against Julian Varnham.

[Phone line connecting] Carol: Ridley.

Come on.

Ridley!

Wait.

Where are you going?

Julian Varnham gave Ravenstoop to Julie Conway in 1989, the same year that Luke Marbury went missing.

I am convinced that that house is central to this case and that Duncan knows a lot more than he's letting on.

OK. Well, I'm coming with you.

What about Goodwin?

We got a new lead.

I wouldn't be doing my job if we didn't follow it up.

Now you have it.

Ridley: Right, Duncan, let's go and get in the car.

Come on.

Why?

I've done nothing wrong.

All right.

We can do it here if you want.

So, Duncan... tell us about the house.

Duncan: What house?

Ravenstoop.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Carol: Oh, we think you do.

Were you really the last person to see Luke Marbury alive, or was it Julian Varnham?

The story doesn't end with Ray Trevice, does it?

You lied to us.

Did you do it to cover your tracks?

No.

You needed to silence Julie and Ray, didn't you, to stop the truth from coming out?

No.

I told...you... Carol: Then what?

I was the last person to see Luke.

Duncan: But not how you think.

Start the car.

[Engine starts] ♪ Carol: Doesn't look like a much-loved family heirloom.

Let's try the back.

♪ [Handle rattles] Carol: I'll pretend I didn't see that.

♪ [Light switch clicking] ♪ Ridley: Ooh.

It's cold in here, innit?

Very cold.

♪ Ridley: Going upstairs, yeah?

Carol: Yeah.

♪ What is this place?

This is every parent's worst nightmare.

This is the bed in the photograph.

Julie Conway sat right here.

Where's Duncan?

Carol: Duncan?

Ridley: Duncan?

Duncan: Here.

Ridley: What's going on here?

You wanted to find Luke?

♪ [Handle rattles] [Loud thud] [All coughing] Carol: You've been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Julie Conway.

Do you understand?

I already told you, it wasn't me.

Just answer the question.

Yes, I understand.

How did you first come in contact with Julian Varnham?

Duncan: We knew him as JV, never Julian.

I reckon it was a way of distancing himself.

Didn't like getting his hands dirty.

Ray was the middleman.

Got kids to trust him... then brought them to Ravenstoop.

So Ray wasn't actively involved with the abuse?

Duncan: No.

Ray was just a sleaze.

Idolized JV, did whatever it took to stay in his good books.

Carol: And he recruited Julie Conway?

How did that work?

She'd hang out at JV's venues, the ones that attracted an underage crowd... then she'd get them pissed and invite them to a party.

Carol: Were you at these parties?

Nothing happened at the start.

JV needed to... build our trust... make sure no one was looking out for us.

Then he'd spike our drinks... wait till we were all out of it... and then he... [Breathing rapidly] [Sniffles] he did whatever he wanted, and he got away with it, because JV had friends in high places who always had his back.

That's how he knew that Luke had made a complaint to the police.

But Luke went back to Ravenstoop.

Why?

Julie tricked him into coming.

Told... told him JV was away for the night.

But he was there... waiting.

No one ever crossed JV, ever.

But Luke wasn't like the rest of us.

He was brave.

Stood up for himself.

Told JV that... if the police didn't do anything... he was going to tell the papers.

Duncan: JV was never going to let him leave.

He came at him with...

He came at him with this heavy glass ashtray.

I can still remember the sound of it smashing his skull.

Why didn't you tell anyone?

He had videos... [Tearfully] and photographs.

He said he'd show them to our parents.

We were so scared, we just went along with it.

Then what happened?

[Sniffles] He told us we had to get our stories straight.

If anyone asked, Luke had done a runner... and that I'd seen him go.

Duncan: Then he got me... to carry him down to the cellar.

So you were the last person to see him.

Oh, he barely weighed anything.

He was just a kid.

Goodwin wants us to keep him in custody until the remains have been identified and a cause of death established, but Wendy thinks it could be a while yet.

Well, Goodwin's right.

We have to be 100% sure he wasn't involved in either Luke or Julie's murder.

Julian Varnham's funeral's tomorrow.

How do we handle that?

Hang fire until Duncan's statement is corroborated.

I've got to see Eve this evening, so, if you need me here or...?

No, no.

We're done here.

What are you going to tell her?

Nothing, till we know for sure.

[Jazz music] [Cheering and applause] You OK?

Yeah, no.

I'm fine, yeah.

Just had a bit of a long day, that's all.

Any news on Luke?

Yeah, I--I think we're getting closer to an answer on Luke.

I'm not sure anymore that I want you to.

I've found it harder than I thought, stirring up the past.

I just want to go home now.

Oh, so... this doesn't feel like home anymore?

I thought it might, but it doesn't, not without my brother.

So I'm leaving after the funeral.

Really?

What, so soon?

You could come with me?

[Chuckles] What, to the States?

Well, why not?

We're both a bit lost.

I'm singing at Jacksonville in two weeks.

You would love it there.

[Chuckling] I bet, yeah.

Heh!

[Sighs] I think we could be good for each other, Alex.

I'm not asking you to marry me, I'm-- I'm just saying...

I'm not ready for this to end, whatever this is.

But maybe that's just me?

No.

No, no.

Really, it's not.

So... come with me.

Is it time to move on... like everybody says I should?

What do you want to do?

[Sighs] I had everything I ever wanted.

Maybe I should be just happy with that.

So you're going to stay on your own forever, then?

[Police radio chatter] As you can see, there's evidence of cranial blunt-force trauma.

Now, a depression fracture like that is typically the result of some kind of high-energy impact, which ties in with the witness report of the victim being hit repeatedly with a heavy glass object.

Are you saying this is Luke Marbury?

No.

I'm saying it's someone who was beaten over the head with considerable force some years ago.

I need more than that.

And I'm going as fast as I can.

OK, is there anything that could identify him as Luke Marbury?

Potentially, yes, a watch.

We're getting the serial number checked out now.

I also managed to retrieve a couple of strands of hair, which we're fast-tracking for DNA.

How long will that take?

Could be hours.

Could be much longer than that, I'm afraid.

Annie.

What's wrong?

It's Eve.

She's asked me to come back to the States with her.

Oh.

What did you say?

Oh, I can't make a decision, Annie, you know.

Everybody's always telling me to carpe diem, seize the day and all.

Oh, I don't know.

I'd miss the club, you know?

Thanks.

[Chuckling] You know what I mean, Annie.

Well, it's your life, it's your decision.

Yeah, but I'm asking you.

What do you think?

OK, then.

I think it would be a massive risk.

Giving up everything you have here, for what?

You know nothing about her, Alex.

Yeah, I know.

Doesn't feel like that, though.

Well, I can't make your decision for you.

I've told you what I think.

[Cell phone ringing, vibrating] Hello.

Yeah, OK. See you there.

Bye.

Funeral's over.

Guests are arriving for the wake.

Ridley: Any news from CSI?

Carol: No, not yet.

Goodwin's doing his nut in.

Been asked to keep a discreet presence until we know for sure.

Well, if it's a yes, the family will need to know as soon as possible.

I know.

Not looking forward to that one bit.

[Indistinct conversation] Where are you going?

Just something I need to do.

[Sound of Eve and Ridley laughing] Eve: It's OK. You missed me.

Which is just as well, as this is the dress I'm singing in at the funeral.

What have you got for me, Carol?

[Cell phone vibrating] Nothing yet, sir.

That's Wendy now, though.

Hiya, Wendy.

It's Carol.

I'm with DCI Goodwin.

Finally got some answers for you.

The watch found with the remains?

The serial number belongs to a watch believed to have been stolen in 1988 by Luke Marbury.

Ms. Marbury returned to the hotel around 11:00.

Are you sure about that?

She'd mislaid her room key, so we issued her another one at...11:07.

And then she went to her room?

No.

There was someone waiting for her.

Carol: What about the DNA?

Wendy: We managed to extract a DNA sample from the strand of hair found on the body.

No direct match on the database, but it did give us a more surprising result.

Turns out it's a 50% match to a DNA sample found on a shard of glass at the scene of Julie Conway's death, a percentage shared by a full sibling.

So I ran the profile against a sample given to us by Luke Marbury's sister, Eve... and it's a match.

People always associate my father's success with his entertainment venues, but the bursary was the achievement that he was most proud of, allowing generations of young people to take up opportunities that they couldn't otherwise have afforded.

And I'm delighted to say that we have one of them with us today, Eve Marbury, whose own life was transformed by my father's generosity, singing one of his favorite songs, "After You've Gone."

[Music starts] [Music stops] I can't sing for the man who killed my brother.

[Guests gasping and whispering] Julian Varnham chose his victims well, victims like my brother Luke.

Lost, vulnerable, unloved.

Julian Varnham's real legacy... is the damage he did to all those young people, leaving them with feelings of shame and guilt, from which they never recovered.

But my brother Luke... my 15-year-old brother... he was brave.

And he went to the police to expose the truth, but Julian Varnham has friends in high places, who made it all disappear.

And my brother paid for his bravery with his life.

And I am so very proud of him.

[Indistinct conversations] I need to speak to her.

Really?

Yeah, just need five minutes.

OK, five minutes.

I'll talk to the family.

[Police radio transmissions] Ridley: Just wait outside, thanks.

How did you know it was me?

The dress.

The dress you wore to my place that night for dinner?

You said you brought it across for the funeral.

When I saw you weren't wearing it...

I wondered what made you change your mind.

Then I remembered something you said.

You said home just wasn't the same without your brother... like you already knew he was dead.

Which, of course, you did.

I didn't plan any of this, Alex.

I need you to believe that.

Julie Conway came to me.

What?

Eve: Someone she drinks with saw me at Marling's, knew where I was staying.

So, when I got back from our dinner, she was there, waiting.

I think Julie saw my return from the States as a sign, a chance to atone before it was too late.

[Whispers] I need to talk to you about Luke.

Who are you?

Not here.

Eve, voice-over: So she told me about Ray Trevice, the parties, how she got Luke involved, knowing what would happen to him.

And I--I couldn't take it all in.

I--I asked her, "Where's Luke now?

I want to see him."

And that's when she told me he was dead... that Julian Varnham had killed him... that the bursary he'd given me was leverage for Luke, and that she'd written all those letters.

It was all a lie.

Friends are supposed to protect each other!

So are sisters, and where the hell were you?

You're just as guilty as I am.

No!

Eve, voice-over: Which is when I lost it.

[Glass breaks] Because I knew it was true.

There was so much blood.

I know I should have helped her, but I...

I panicked.

You should have come to me.

But if I told you... it would have been over.

And I didn't want it to be over.

Christ's sake.

What about Craydale?

You knew Luke was dead already.

That was a wild goose chase.

You just lied and lied and lied.

It was an accident, and I didn't know what to do!

You could have told the truth.

You know, I thought... [Exhales] I thought, "Here is someone... who--who I could let into my life."

♪ Ridley.
