[ Down-tempo music playing ] MAN: A young woman has been found naked and beaten unconscious on waste ground in East London early this morning.

Police have yet to identify the victim and are appealing for witnesses to what they describe as a brutal attack.

Victim's female.

Found here at 6:00 a.m. Serious injuries to head and face.

Paramedics have already lost her heartbeat once, so I reckon we're looking at a murder inquiry -before the day's out.

-Oh, poor girl.

STEELE: Mr. and Mrs. Granger.

I understand we are here to talk about your daughter, Mandy Granger.

ANDREW: Yeah.

So tell me about when you discovered she was missing.

We've done all this at the front desk.

We have to run through it again.

At 8:00, this morning, I went in to take her a cup of tea.

She wasn't there.

And when was the last time you saw her?

Last time I saw her was about 6:00 last night, before I went to work.

STEELE: Last night.

That was the last time I saw her.

Um, yeah.

Last night.

I -- We were at home.

Um, I was quite tired.

I went to bed quite early -- 9:00, nineish, 9:30 -- something like that -- and she was still up watching TV.

Did she seem all right?

Fairly happy?

-She was absolutely fine.

-She was fine.

Yeah.

Found naked.

CSI are yet to do a sweep of the entire area, but the initial search suggests that the attacker or attackers uh, took the victim's clothing with them.

So they're trying to give us the runaround.

They know what they're doing.

Have you managed to get any basics on the victim?

Yes.

She is mid- to late teens, 5'6", and short brown hair.

That's all.

No wallet found, so no ID as yet.

STEELE: Thank you.

She has her hair cut since then, hasn't she?

I'll make a note of that.

Yes.

It's a bit shorter.

It's quite a lot shorter.

She's a gorgeous girl.

Has Mandy ever stayed away before?

Maybe snuck out to see friends or a boyfriend, perhaps?

She doesn't have a boyfriend.

She's 16 years old.

She's a child.

She's not snuck away.

She's not run away.

All this shit is wasting time.

You're going 'round the houses.

Something has happened to her.

SOCOs say blood-splatter analysis isn't consistent with the victim's injuries.

So I'm thinking maybe this waste ground is the deposition scene where the body was dumped.

But now we're also on the lookout for a crime scene where the attack took place.

[ Train passing ] SOCOs found some tire tracks in the soil.

We know they're fresh.

Rained last night.

He's getting a mold done of the tire track to see if we can figure out the type of tire.

Hopefully we can figure out the type of car that we think was used to dump the body.

Victim is mid- to late teens, female, short brown hair.

Found this morning at 6 a.m. with serious head injuries to the face and head.

We now know she's got brain damage.

Also possible sexual assault.

The parents that I've just been talking to downstairs -- They've not seen their daughter since 9:00 last night.

She's about that age, about that height, short brown hair.

-What's her name?

-Mandy Granger.

-Let's get it up.

-It's on the board.

And these photographs I had fast-tracked in from the hospital.

I'm also waiting on forensic photos of the rest of the body.

Also one of a tattoo, apparently, on the victim's wrist.

Fresh tattoo -- like last five days.

There's cling film on the top of it.

-Mandy Granger have a tattoo?

-Her parents didn't mention one.

BELLAMY: Well, I mean, the parents may not know.

You're gonna have to take them down to intensive care, I'm afraid, see if that's their little girl.

-Okay?

-Yeah.

[ Engine humming, siren wailing in distance ] ANDREW: Uh... Can't do it.

[ Monitor beeping ] [ Sniffs ] Are you okay?

Do you want me to go?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

Is that -- Is that all right?

Can -- Can I go on my own?

-Do you need both of us?

-No.

If you're prepared to do so, that's fine.

But are you sure that you're happy to go in alone?

Yeah.

Okay.

That's fine.

You can wait here.

All right.

[ Down-tempo music playing ] Uh, TIU have traced the 999 phone call to an area close to where the victim was dumped.

Press play.

YOUNG WOMAN: Please help my friend.

Don't suppose we've got a number for this, have we?

Guess who it is.

-Who?

-Mandy Granger.

-Our missing girl?

-Yeah.

NATALIE: Thank you.

[ Sniffs ] It's not Mandy.

-It's okay.

-Good.

Um, my D.I.

has asked me to take you home.

She's on her way there.

She wants to talk to you.

NATALIE: W-Why is that?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

It may be there's something she wants to share in person.

-We should just go and do it.

-At the house?

Yes.

Yes.

-NATALIE: Okay.

-Okay.

After you.

Thanks.

Charlie.

Um, the girl in ITU isn't Mandy Granger.

Uh, Mum Natalie is very sure of that.

Relief for them.

Um, however, it was Mandy's phone that called 999.

-We know that much.

-Okay.

I've had a little dig-around on the parents.

Mum, Natalie Granger, she's clean.

But the -- the dad, Andrew Granger -- He's got a couple of D&Ds and an ABH.

Basically that was from a pub -- There was an argument and a glassing, basically.

-It got nasty.

-Shit.

What's your instincts on them?

Um, I'm not massively surprised about that, to be honest.

He's incredibly aggressive, and he walks all over Natalie.

Absolutely controls her.

He couldn't face going into ITU to see the girl, which I think is a little bit odd.

I'm gonna get you to listen to this for me.

YOUNG WOMAN: Please help my friend.

Is that Mandy?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Hundred percent sure?

-Yes.

STEELE: It's likely that the friend she's referring to is the girl that you saw earlier in ITU, Natalie.

Okay.

Well, we don't know who she is.

What happens now?

BELLAMY: Look, I'm not gonna lie.

Um, the connection between the victim and Mandy -- That is a concern for us.

Just a little bit.

Yeah.

Let me reassure you of one thing, all right?

Most girls of Mandy's sort of age end up -- They just -- They come home safe back to the family.

Yeah.

Most girls.

Not all of them.

Local tattooist got in touch.

He said 48 hours ago he inked a tattoo like that one -- certainly very, very like that one -- on someone's wrist.

STEELE: It looks like that could be Mandy Granger.

-It looks like her, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

Right school uniform.

And the bloke that's with her, according to the tattooist, that's the guy who got it done -- the tattoo.

That's not our victim, so maybe the tattoo thing's a dead end, guys.

Chased the credit card that was used to pay for the tattoo.

It's registered to a J. Collins.

[ Dog barking in distance ] Hang about.

Someone's kicked the door in.

Police.

We're coming in.

Gloves on.

I'm gonna check upstairs, Charlie, yeah?

-Hello?

-All clear down here.

Right.

I'm gonna make a start in the kitchen.

-[ Speaks indistinctly ] -[ Clears throat ] [ Metal rattles ] -Jack?

-Yeah.

There are two bottles of testosterone in the cupboard.

What -- What's that for?

Bodybuilding?

-Hang on.

Give me that.

-Wait.

Give me that.

This belongs to Julie Collins.

Male clothes.

Male hormones.

She's gone for a sex change.

So who kicked the door down?

I'm willing to bet a lot of money it was Andrew Granger.

If he finds out that Mandy's got a boyfriend who was a girl who's having a sex change, he's gonna hit the fucking roof.

Now, we know that Jez Collins was in fact born Julie Collins and from bank records came from Burnley, uh, where she lived with her parents.

Moved down to London on -- take note -- 7th of June 2014.

Ah.

A momentous day worthy enough of a tattoo.

I wonder why the tattooist didn't twig, though.

I mean, in close proximity with someone and you don't realize that he is a she.

It's confidence, isn't it?

You know, dresses like a bloke, looks like a bloke.

If you can convince yourself you're someone else, you'll convince other people too.

-Yeah.

-Clearly he was convinced.

From now on, we're gonna refer to the victim as Jez, please.

I have spoken to Jez's parents.

Very difficult phone call.

What they did know was that Jez was in fact transgender, so that was a bombshell I didn't have to drop.

However, they're heading down from Burnley, and they've got a terrible decision to make.

They've got to decide whether or not to turn the life support machine off.

So to all intents and purposes, we are dealing with a murder investigation, guys.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] I got on to TFL to chase up Jez Collins' Oyster card, and he topped it up at this newsagents.

STEELE: He's with Mandy Granger.

Hold on two seconds.

Let me fast-forward.

Look at this.

-STEELE: Andrew Granger.

-Mandy's dad.

Well, he completely failed to mention that little falling-out.

So we already knew he was violent, but this also makes him a liar.

Mr. Granger, could we have a quick word?

Yeah.

What's happened?

Have you found her?

Andrew, I'm afraid that we are going to have to arrest you for the suspected murder of Jez Collins.

-Are we being serious?

-Calm down.

-Yes.

-Are you being serious?

-Oh, wonderful police work.

-You gonna let me finish?

There's one, two, three, four, five, six people here who could be out -- fuck off!

-- who could be out looking for my daughter!

-Get off me!

-Get him down to the ground.

Get off now!

[ Grunts ] Andrew Granger, I am arresting you for the suspected abduction of your daughter, Mandy Granger.

You do not have to say anything, though it may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

-Do you understand?

-Yeah.

Thank you.

Jo, need a full forensic lift on a vehicle -- on Mr. Granger's car.

Okay.

Let's put him in the back of the van.

[ Indistinct talking on radio ] -WESTON: Keep pushing.

-[ Tablet beeps ] Oh, there you go.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's my car.

And that's me.

Getting out of the car.

You, Andrew Granger.

Yeah.

Why were you there?

-Why was I there?

-Yeah.

To pick up Mandy.

What, after school?

-Yeah.

-Right.

Talk me through what happens next.

What's that?

That's me moving this lad out the way.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

In a threatening manner.

Looks like you tried to head-butt him.

I'm not trying to head-butt anybody.

If I was trying to head-butt him, I would have fucking head-butted him.

I'm getting him out the fucking way.

Calm down.

We're trying to help you find your daughter.

You're not trying to help me find my daughter.

You're wasting fucking time sitting here with me going through bits of fucking... Why were you so pissed off, anyway?

That lad called me a very, very rude word.

Guy's name is Jez.

We think Jez was Mandy's boyfriend.

Mandy doesn't have boyfriends, so you can take this shit with you.

Hang on a second.

I'm not finished yet.

Mr. Granger... we also know that Jez was in fact born Julie Collins.

What does that mean?

This is a transvestite?

No.

Transgender.

Born as a girl.

What, and pretending to be a boy?

Wants to become a guy.

[ Snorts ] He's in the middle of a sex change.

We think that you knew Jez was Mandy's boyfriend.

We also think, more humiliatingly, that you knew that Jez was a pre-op transgender.

-We think you followed him home.

-No.

We think you broke into his house.

We think you assaulted him, left him with serious head injuries, face injuries... and dumped him on a waste ground.

That's what we think.

So prove me wrong.

What have you done with Mandy, eh?

-What?

-Where is she?

-What have you done with her?

-Ask me that again.

What have you done with your daughter?

-I have done fuck-all!

-Right.

This is the sick fuck you want to be looking for!

-[ Indistinct shouting ] -Don't you even fucking dare!

-[ Alarm blaring ] -Don't you dare!

[ Down-tempo music playing ] Are you going somewhere?

No.

I was just, um... Yeah.

I was just gonna go and see my mum.

What if Mandy comes home?

You know, it might be nice for you to be here if she does.

No.

She'd -- She'd know I was at my mum's.

She... Natalie.

I'm sorry.

I'm just -- I'm just not thinking straight.

I just... -I just need a minute.

-Okay.

Natalie, I know from social services that you and Mandy moved into a refuge for about three months last year.

Talk to me about that.

Tell me why that was.

I don't really want to talk about that.

It's nothing to do with why Mandy's gone.

No.

With all due respect it, it -- it kind of is, because the relationship between Mandy and her father -- if indeed he's the reason you moved out -- is -- is important for us in understanding where Mandy might be, why she might have gone.

Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ] When he drinks, it brings out the worst in him.

And, um, yes, last year, we went through a very bad time and I had to go to a refuge.

He was violent towards you?

Yes, he was.

Okay.

It's important for me to understand kind of Mandy's situation and her circumstances at the moment.

Do you know anyone called Jez?

Is that a name you're familiar with?

We think this might be Mandy's boyfriend.

Oh, I don't know if it's her boyfriend, but yeah, I've heard her, um, speak to someone called Jez on the phone.

I've never met him.

I don't know.

Did you know that Jez -- uh, we think at least -- is a pre-op transgender person?

He used to be called Julie, so he started as a female and is in the process of becoming a male.

No.

No.

That's news to me.

Do you think Andrew knew or could have known?

And if he did know, how do you think he'd feel about that?

He wouldn't -- He wouldn't like that at all, no.

Okay.

[ Down-tempo music playing ] Uh, guys, Jez's parents have just turned off the life support machine.

I'm gonna let them say their goodbyes and then get a postmortem.

Hopefully we'll get some clues for that and just, frankly, pray to God that we don't find Mandy in the same state.

Yeah.

The forensics from the break-in at Jez's place have been incredibly useful.

So DNA from Mandy Granger -- very prominent, which is no surprise if they were in a relationship.

-What about Andrew Granger's?

-No, nothing on Andrew Granger.

But there is DNA from this guy.

His name is Oliver Hemmingway.

He has a conviction for assault in Burnley from a couple of years ago, which is where Jez is from.

Now, Mr. Hemmingway drove into the congestion charging zone yesterday at 10 a.m. His car's not left it yet, but FIU have told me that he bought a coach ticket this morning back home at about 6 a.m. -Why would he do that?

-Beats me.

Now, the next stop on the coach is Oxford.

He's already on it, but I've got uniform driving up to pick him up.

Two.

Thank you.

Empty your pockets for me, please.

Thank you.

Can you get this sent up to tech?

I want them to charge it.

I want to know what's on it.

Sarge?

Tech have recovered the deleted data -- sorry -- from Oliver's phone.

They also pulled up this stream of abusive text messages that he sent to Jez when he was driving to London.

I think it's pretty fair to say that he took the breakup badly, to put it mildly.

The boss is down there talking to him about it now.

"I would have done anything to make you happy, and yet you treat me like shit, you fucking horrible bitch, Julie."

That was you sending that on the way down the motorway heading towards her flat.

Remember that?

How angry were you?

'Cause if you were that angry heading down there, fuck knows what you'd have felt like when you realized that your girlfriend was now your boyfriend.

Are you mad?

I absolutely worshipped the ground she walked on.

You think I could ever hurt a hair on her head?

You think that I would ever harm her?

Yeah, I sent some fucking nasty messages -- 'cause I was hurt.

I was heartbroke.

Yeah.

Okay.

How long is that gonna be?

Have you got anything on first look, Jack?

Yeah.

Um, definitely Oliver Hemmingway's car.

Found abandoned about a mile or so away from the crime scene.

So I'd be fairly certain this is the car used to transport Jez to the waste ground, mainly because we've got some claret in the back.

I've sent some samples off to the lab to see if it belongs to Jez.

I'm also getting these guys to sweep the entire car for fingerprints and DNA belonging to Mandy to see if she was transported in the same vehicle.

Great.

Good work, Jack.

Oliver, go back and tell me exactly what happened over the last 24 hours, all right?

OLIVER: I just thought we'd be able to get back together and... [ Sniffs ] ...make it work.

Did she know you were coming?

I loved her.

I loved her so much.

Did you break into her flat?

I just wanted to see her.

I sat.

I waited.

She came home.

She was pissed off.

She was angry.

Was there a fight?

No.

I'd never hurt her.

She said that she'd been feeling strange and she wasn't happy.

[ Voice breaking ] She said that she loved me... but she couldn't be with me anymore.

She just kept saying I wouldn't understand, but... ...she wanted to be a boy.

BELLAMY: How did that feel when you heard that?

Weird.

Big shock, eh?

We made friends.

We had a cuddle.

It was...

It was just different this time.

It was Julie, but it wasn't Julie.

And then a friend -- One of her friends rang about a party or something... [ Sniffs ] ...and we went to a party.

Where was the party?

I'm just trying to think now.

I don't remember what they called it.

Some big house.

Um...

I've been looking at Oliver's phone.

The GPS records confirm him as coming south on the motorway, as he said.

Then he was at Jez's flat, but after that, his phone, and presumably him as well, moves to a location in East London and stays there until the morning.

Now, I've had local uniform kind of check out around that area, and apparently there were complaints of a noisy party right in the middle of that radius.

That's good work.

You're on fire today.

Excuse me.

-Hi there.

-Hi.

Party last night?

Uh, yeah.

You could say that.

How's the head?

-A little bit rough.

-Yeah?

Okay.

-What's your name?

-Emily.

-Emily what?

-Perkins.

My name is Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.

-I'd love to come in.

-Uh...

Thanks.

Two seconds.

That's it.

Two seconds.

-Thank you.

-STEELE: Yeah.

°Where did you say your parents had gone?

-Uh, France.

-Right.

They are back soonish.

-So... -Excuse me for two seconds.

I want to show you a few pictures of -- -Excuse -- -Excuse me.

Sorry, Emily.

I just want to show you a few pictures and give you a few names and see if they're anyone you recognize from being at the party last night.

So this is a guy called Oliver.

Uh...maybe.

I -- Uh, I don't know.

-It spiraled out of control.

-A girl called Mandy.

Again I want to say no, but, I mean...could have been.

What about a guy called Jez?

None of these names ringing any bells?

No.

As I said, you know, things got out of hand.

It was, uh, busy.

There was drink.

It was one of those things.

It was only supposed to be a few people, and... And it got out of hand.

Emily, I'd murder a cup of tea, 'cause we have got a few more questions.

It might be nice to sit and just go over a few things.

Thanks.

I'll come with you.

I'll help you make it.

I make a great cup of tea.

-SOCOs?

-Yes.

Yeah.

WESTON: My colleagues the SOCOs have the authority to search your premises... -We believe your home... -This is beyond ridiculous.

Honestly, my parents will be back any minute.

...may have been a crime scene for a very serious offense.

-Is this really necessary?

-Yes, it is.

-Sarge?

-Yes?

Can I borrow you for a sec?

None of it has anything to do with me and my parents.

We'll be the judge of that, Emily.

-Can I just -- -Hold on.

Yeah?

-We have blood.

-Really?

Yeah.

On the doorframe, just down here.

We're getting a sample now, but we're gonna rush that through.

Okay.

Good work, guys.

Emily, I'm gonna pick your brains.

A few more details to run over.

Best not to do it here while the SOCOs are working, so let's do it down at the station.

Are you kidding?

You want me to come to the station?

No.

I'll drive you right now.

Honestly, my parents are due back any minute.

-I know.

I'm gonna -- -I've complied with everything.

-Is this necessary?

-Yes, it is.

Absolutely necessary.

Come on.

Down to the station.

Charlie, can you call her?

Yeah.

Can I ask you to sit down, please, Emily?

I found something interesting on your phone.

Who is in this photo?

Me.

You.

Who else?

[ Sighs ] I don't know.

I don't recognize them.

Well, you look very friendly with all of them.

-Yeah.

Well, I was drunk.

-Let's start with this guy.

Drunkenness is not a defense of your actions in the courts.

-Who is this guy?

-Potentially gate crashers.

-That's Jez Collins.

-I don't know these people.

That's Jez Collins, who was attacked in your house.

[ Tapping pen ] Jez, who is now dead.

You.

Him.

Together in a photo, looking very friendly.

I didn't take the photo.

It's nothing to do with me other than being in it.

I don't remember.

I was wasted.

So was everyone.

We found traces of Jez's blood upstairs in your house.

Did any fights take place?

I'd hope not, uh, but...I couldn't say.

I mean, I skipped out.

I don't know what time it was.

Um, in the early hours of the morning.

So you left the house?

Yeah.

To get some food and some more booze.

To go where?

Uh, the 24-7 on Ferndale Road.

Ferndale Road.

Emily Perkins, I'm not satisfied with the answers you're giving me.

W-What do you want me to say?

I believe that you are lying to me.

Therefore I am arresting you on suspicion of murder.

-You do not have to say... -You're arresting me?

Based on a photograph?

You're arresting me?

-...something you later rely... -It's a photograph!

We were -- What do you want me to say?

Do you understand?

What else do you want me to say?

Do you understand?

No, I don't understand, because it's absolutely ridiculous.

And do you have any idea what's gonna happen when my parents get involved?

I look forward to talking to them.

Come with me.

Emily Perkins' house is definitely the scene of the crime.

I've got SOCOs down there now going through the bin bags out the front.

She was doing a huge cleanup.

Maybe she's thrown out some incriminating evidence.

They found Oliver Hemmingway's DNA in the house.

They found Mandy Granger's DNA in the house.

I think if we can figure out what happened at the party, we can figure out who attacked Jez.

We can also hopefully figure out what's happened to Mandy and where she is now.

I have news.

The blood in the boot of Oliver's car belongs to Jez.

That's a definite now.

We've also got Mandy's DNA in his car.

So do we now think that a man scorned bludgeons his ex-fiancée to death for being trans?

And also, could he have attacked Mandy?

[ Down-tempo music plays ] This girl was at the party.

Her DNA was there.

All right?

Do you remember her being at the party?

No.

Thank you.

Do you remember her being in your car?

No.

Well, I've got her DNA in your car.

Why would that be?

Hmm?

Why... Why did you have Jez's blood in your car?

[ Voice breaking ] I don't know.

Please.

I can't look at them.

WESTON: I've been looking at the different routes that Oliver would have taken from the party to the park, where he slept, and then on to the bus station.

I found some CCTV footage.

-What's he doing?

-He's -- He's distressed.

BELLAMY: Mm.

Guilty conscience.

WESTON: Yeah.

Come on.

I mean, there's definitely something going on.

-Okay.

-Sorry.

I have news.

The tire marks at the deposition site -- They do not come from Andrew Granger's taxi.

They belong to Oliver Hemmingway's car.

Okay.

Something terrible happened at that party, didn't it?

[ Voice breaking ] Yeah.

[ Sniffs ] What happened?

I was in the garden on my own.

Everything was spinning.

I heard a scream, like...

It was awful.

I didn't even think about Julie.

I just...freaked out.

Emily was there.

She took the keys out of my pocket.

Why didn't you stop her?

I don't know.

I was off my head.

I didn't know what I was doing.

I didn't know what day it were.

I just ran and I ran, and I was confused and scared.

You ran away from the very person that you love.

-You heard the screams.

-Yeah.

It could have made a big difference, couldn't it?

Maybe it would have changed everything, Oliver.

[ Sobs ] And I have to live with that!

But I promise you now I did not touch that girl.

Please.

You've got to believe me.

Do you think Emily took your car to the waste ground?

I don't know.

-I don't know.

-Did you see her leave?

Did you see her put anything in the back of your car?

No.

I didn't see anything.

She seemed like a nice girl.

This whole nonsense about "I'm in a hurry.

My parents are coming home from France" -- bullshit.

They don't come back till next week.

I checked.

Charlie, the stupid cow was cleaning up the crime scene as far as I can tell.

SOCOs have been going through those bin bags.

I think we've found the murder weapon.

Beer bottle covered in blood.

I've fast-tracked it to forensics to see if it's a match to Jez's blood.

I've also fast-tracked to see if we can get a sweep for fingerprints, to see if we can find the DNA of the attacker.

-SOCOs still down there?

-Yes.

Get them to pull out all of her footwear.

Yes, boss.

Boss?

Boss.

Oliver's trainers don't match the injuries on Jez's face, but Emily is fucked.

We've got her DNA on the neck of the bottle.

We can also match Emily's footmarks with the marks on Jez's face -- well, with one of the sets of marks on Jez's face.

These ones, but not these ones.

BELLAMY: One of the sets of marks.

What, two -- two lots of marks?

-We've got two attackers.

-[ Siren wailing in distance ] Um, okay, Jack.

Belt and braces.

I want to know if Emily's DNA is in Oliver's car.

I suspect it is.

Yeah.

We have your DNA all over the neck of a broken beer bottle.

We have Jez Collins' DNA all over the base of the broken beer bottle.

We believe that you used that beer bottle to smash Jez's face in.

We believe that you stamped your foot all over his face.

We have the marks here on his face to prove that.

These are your trainers, are they not?

-Hmm?

-No comment.

This is a picture taken from the car that was used to transport him from the party to the deposition scene.

Your DNA is all over the steering wheel.

Your DNA is all over the boot of the car.

-I want my -- I want my lawyer.

-Did you drive the car?

Marco attacked Jez.

Marco attacked Jez?

No, you attacked Jez.

No, I just told you -- Marco attacked Jez.

That's why he's not here.

-That's why he's on the run.

-Well, where is he, then?

I don't know.

I don't know, but I know he's on the run, and I know why.

Who are these people here?

That's Jez.

That's you.

Who's that?

That's Marco.

-Sarge?

-Yeah.

We know that Mandy Granger was at that party.

-Her DNA is in the house.

-Yes.

We know she's linked to that group via Jez.

Maybe they're in a relationship.

We also know that Marco is linked to that group.

So what if they're the same person?

I just -- Otherwise Marco and Mandy would be in that picture separately.

Boss?

Come here, please.

I'm in a hurry, but what... Marco and Mandy -- Are they the same person?

What are you talking about?

Look at the photos -- Marco, Mandy.

Okay.

Now I feel stupid.

STEELE: Well, it just makes sense of what's otherwise quite an odd relationship between a 16-year-old schoolgirl and a 21-year-old transgender guy from Burnley.

Let me get these two photos sent off to facial recognition.

BELLAMY: Is what we're actually saying that we should be looking for Marco, not Mandy?

WESTON: That's exactly it.

What's worrying me, though, is if Jez was attacked for being transgender and murdered for being transgender, has the same happened to Mandy?

[ Down-tempo music plays ] [ Knock on door ] Natalie, I often have to tell people things that might be quite distressing.

Um, but please understand that I only do what's absolutely necessary to whatever investigation that we're doing, okay?

This is a photo taken of Mandy yesterday evening at a party, but she was dressed as a boy and going under the name Marco.

So we think that she's a transgender person.

Oh, look.

I knew -- I knew about this.

Um, I'm really sorry.

-I should have told you.

-Yeah.

Yeah, you should have.

You must understand.

I couldn't tell you in front of Andrew.

Can you not see how that's incredibly important?

That we've had people out there looking for Mandy, who might be very hurt, who might be in danger, who've been looking for a girl when she very likely, seeing as she was last night dressed as a boy -- That's really important.

Yeah, but I c-couldn't tell you.

Okay.

If Andrew finds out, then I...

I couldn't tell you.

Do you think there's any way he has found out?

I really hope not.

[ Sighs ] Did you know about this?

Did you know that Mandy... wanted to be a boy, was living as a boy?

No.

Where's your little girl, Andrew?

I don't know where she is, right?!

I don't know anything about this transvestite bollocks!

All I know is that she's missing and I want to find her.

What have you got against transgender people?

Nothing.

Why did you attack Jez Collins?

Was it because -- I mean, did you -- did you fall for Jez?

Did you suddenly realize in the throes of passion that Jez was actually Julie?

How did it make you feel?

No comment.

Marco was also transgender.

-No, he wasn't.

-Yes, he was.

-No, he wasn't.

-Yes, he was.

Marco was also called Mandy.

Mandy was Marco.

Marco was Mandy.

How does that make you feel?

You're lying.

To have two transgender people dig you.

You're lying.

Does it make you feel a bit silly?

You're lying!

He w-- Marco's a guy.

Obviously the nature of the crime means that we are charging you for Jez's murder.

It's also been classed as a hate crime.

-I didn't do it.

-Under the legal system in this country, a hate crime is dealt with a very severe sentence.

-I didn't fucking -- -Sit down.

So I'm gonna charge you with Jez Collins' murder.

These trainers that Marco's wearing -- That pattern on the bottom was starting to look familiar.

So I had tech enlarge so we can now see it more clearly.

This matches the pattern of the other set of footmarks that was on Jez's face, which was the fatal stamp.

So it's looking like Marco -- Mandy, however you want to say it -- did kill Jez.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] Natalie?

Natalie, it's police.

Open the door.

Okay, Charlie.

How'd you go at the Granger house?

Nothing.

There's no one there.

-I reckon she's done a runner.

-Oh, really?

Okay.

Put her bank on high alert.

Yes.

Do we think Natalie and Mandy are working together?

Right.

Or in it together at least?

What if Mandy Granger is alive and well but hiding?

Natalie's known this all along.

If we can figure out where Natalie is, maybe we can figure out where Mandy is.

Okay, Andrew.

I'm gonna level with you.

I need your help.

I can place Marco at the scene of the attack.

-I can also place Marco... -Mandy.

...at the dumping of the victim's body.

-Do you understand?

-Well -- It's very, very serious, Andrew, and this is your kid that we're talking about.

You help me, because I don't know where she is, right?

And you're wasting my time and your time with me in here.

You've said to me that you think -- you know -- whatever -- that Mandy or whatever the fuck you want to call her, right?

You said that she's involved in this crime.

You said that -- You've basically said you know I've got nothing to do with it.

So why am I still sat here, wasting my time and yours?

Okay.

Let's issue an all-ports for Natalie and Marco.

To be honest, I've got a feeling that Andrew knows exactly where both of them are.

So plan is, I want you, Jack, to release Andrew.

-Okay?

-Bail him?

Bail him but follow him.

[ Down-tempo music playing ] Control, this is Weston.

-[ Static, beep ] -MAN: Control.

Go ahead.

Subject spotted entering pub on Midhill Street.

Weston maintaining eyeball on main entrance.

All received?

-[ Static, beep ] -MAN: Received.

Control, this is Weston.

-[ Static, beep ] -MAN: Go ahead.

WESTON: Subject on the move.

Looks a bit pissed, to be honest.

Now in a vehicle heading northbound on Midhill Street.

Stand by for further updates.

Uh, C.I.D.

to D.S.

Weston.

It's Weston.

Go ahead.

We've got some intel on Natalie Granger.

She has a part-time job at a local hardware store on Badgewell Street.

I'm two streets away from Badgewell Street now.

Looks like Granger's heading that way.

All received.

I'm on my way.

I'll bring backup.

Subject Andrew Granger now on foot.

D.S.

Weston -- [ Grunts ] Aah!

[ Grunts ] [ Metal clatters ] Andrew!

Andrew!

-Andrew!

-ANDREW: Did you know?!

-NATALIE: Get out of here!

-STEELE: Natalie!

Stay back!

[ Indistinct shouting ] -STEELE: Natalie!

-NATALIE: Stop it!

-Get the fuck off!

-[ Screams ] Jesus.

Andrew, do you intend to harm your own child just for being different?

Let go!

-Listen to them, Andrew.

Please.

-Don't talk to me.

-Don't even look at me!

-STEELE: Andrew!

And you, I never want to see again!

Go!

Joanne, look after them!

NATALIE: It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Control from D.C. Steele.

-MAN: Go ahead.

-Urgent update.

Subject is on foot towards the back of the premises.

More units required.

He's heading from the basement into the rear yard.

MAN: Received.

[ Grunts ] WESTON: Andrew Granger!

Andrew Granger... you're under arrest for ABH.

You do not have to say anything, though it may harm your defense if you fail to mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be used in evidence.

Do you understand?

-Do you understand?!

-Yes!

Fucking moron.

ANDREW: [ Grunts ] Get up.

Hold on to him.

Hold on to him.

[ Breathing heavily ] Andrew, you are just making this more fucking difficult for yourself.

[ Siren wailing in distance ] What do you want me to call you?

Mandy or Marco?

What are you more comfortable with?

Marco.

We have forensic evidence to say that both yourself and Emily are both responsible for the death of Jez Collins.

Do you understand the situation?

You understand how serious it is?

I also need you to understand that what you need to do now -- the only thing you can really do now -- is talk to me, all right?

Very clearly and just tell me exactly what happened.

Let's start with the party.

What happened there?

We were all high and drunk with Emily, who fancied Jez and just... kept coming on to Jez.

And they were in Emily's room.

I just heard screaming.

I ran in there.

Emily must have found out that... Found out what?

She must have found out that Jez was trans.

Was Jez hurt when you went into the room?

Or was Jez fighting back or...

He -- He was on the floor.

Emily was just hitting him with a bottle.

So at that point, did you think to get help or... She told me to join in.

So I did.

What did you do?

[ Voice breaking ] I kicked him.

I kicked him.

Emily told me to get everyone out of the party.

And then we put him in the back of the car.

In Oliver's car?

Yeah.

Okay.

And where did you go?

We just dumped him.

Emily told me to strip him.

And then she drove off.

Is that when you rang 999?

When Marco phoned me and said, um, what had happened to that poor boy, um...

I didn't -- I didn't know how bad it was.

I just told Marco to... to wait for me, to -- to -- to -- to get rid of his clothes and have a shower and I would pick him up and take him to the hardware store and he would wait there for me.

I was just panicking.

I didn't know what to do.

Uh, in the morning, Andrew came in and said...Mandy isn't there, is missing.

And I...

I had to play along with it.

I had no choice.

I-I was just trying to work out what to do.

That makes a lot of sense of how you were in the hospital -- I mean, especially in comparison to Andrew, who was quite distressed, and you were just, I thought, quite strangely calm.

Yeah.

Of course I knew it wasn't Mandy in that bed.

-I didn't know... -Yeah.

...I didn't know how badly beaten up that poor boy was.

Look, Natalie.

I'm gonna level with you.

It's very likely that you'll go to prison for perverting the course of justice.

That's gonna be really hard to -- to get around.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, what else could I have done?

I had to think about Marco.

I had to keep Marco safe.

If Andrew found out about Marco, I don't know what he would do.

I mean, he'd never -- he'd never -- he'd never been violent towards... towards -- towards his Mandy.

You know, it was... it was only ever me.

But if he found out about who Marco really... You should have come to us, Natalie.

How could I come to you?

Andrew would have known I had to come to you.

But we've come to the same place, haven't we?

Only it's worse because you're going to prison.

Andrew's likely going to prison.

Mandy's not gonna have an easy time.

But all I've ever wanted to do was keep Mandy safe.

I'm not gonna be able to do that now, am I?

She goes in prison... ...pretending to be...Marco or whatever.

I mean...

The fuck are they gonna do to her in there?

Well, what will give Marco courage in prison is knowing that he will have a father waiting for him once his sentence is served.

[ Down-tempo music plays ] I'm a bit strapped for cash.

So you can pay for tonight?

Well, it's -- Apparently it's my round.

Oh, I'd love to.

I've got -- I've got parents' evening.

I think my kids have forgotten what I look like.

See you later.

Well done.

See ya, boss.

[ Telephone ringing ] [ Sighs ] How do you feel about having kids, Jack?

I used to think I really wanted kids.

And then -- God.

The shit you see in this job.

And you just think, "What is the fucking point?"

-I'd love kids.

-Really?

I'm not saying I'd be a great father, but I love kids.

Would you consider some Irish babies?

I think we could make beautiful music together.

-You flirting with me, Sarge?

-No.

-Is that what's happening here?

-No.

I'm just -- I'm just saying that the offer is there.

I'm just gonna grab one of those sexual-harassment forms.
