[narrator] Previously on Broadchurch.

There were two girls.

Cousins.

Lisa Newbury, 19, was babysitting for her 12-year-old cousin Pippa.

Pippa's parents went away for the night to a friend's wedding.

They came back the next day and both girls were gone.

Our main suspect was a man called Lee Ashworth.

[Claire] Lee's my husband.

I think he's back and I think he's looking for me.

You mean, you've been hiding her here?

It's sort of witness protection.

[man] Joseph Michael Miller, how do you plead?

-Not guilty.

-No!

He can't.

You know that I'm defending Joe Miller.

I'll be prosecuting.

[man] Joe's legal team have requested a new autopsy on Danny's body.

I hope you rot in hell!

For what you've done to us.

[woman] Why are you so sure he killed those girls?

[suspenseful music playing] At fixed intervals during the probationary period you'll have a review.

Conducted by the Learning Development Officer.

This will establish whether or not you have met the required standards to be an efficient and effective police officer.

Why the hell did you say yes to this job -if you don't enjoy it?

-Not that bad, am I?

You'll demotivate our entire intake.

The boredom drips off you.

-I was good at my job.

-Yeah.

And you're no longer fit for it.

So get good at this one or do something else.

[dramatic music playing] Over-achievers have an inherent fear of failure.

[dramatic music playing] [phone rings] [message tone] [woman] You have one new message.

[Lee] "Claire, it's me.

You should answer.

I wanna hear your voice.

Look, I want you to know...

I love you.

I've been thinking about you all this time."

[dramatic music playing] [Lee] "Listen, I know it hasn't been easy.

But I'm close now.

I'll see you soon."

[dramatic music playing] [mobile rings] Hi.

Alec, uh, Lee just called and left me a message.

How did he get my number?

Okay.

What did he say?

He said he's close.

Claire, I promise you're safe.

Just stay there.

I'll call you later.

-I've gotta go.

-Alec, please don't go.

[dramatic music playing] What do you want?

-Where's Claire?

-Why would I know?

Don't mess me about.

I wanna see her.

Lisa Newbury's parents wanna see their daughter.

For the last time...

I had nothing to do with that.

I don't believe you.

You got it wrong.

It's over.

Not for the parents.

Not for me.

And what about for me?

I lost my whole life 'cause of you.

-I had to leave the country.

-So why'd you come back?

I want my life back.

Now tell me where I find Claire.

Or do I have to follow you around everywhere?

Yeah, give it a go.

Here's my number.

You tell her to call me.

Sorry about your health.

What did you say?

Someone said you were sick.

[dramatic music playing] [dramatic music playing] [Maggie] Over a little further.

Careful with those.

They go upstairs in my office.

And don't scratch the paintwork.

[dramatic music playing] -See ya.

-Bye.

[dramatic music playing] [Brian] I hope shitface has got a good reason for not reporting this.

Not that I'm finding much.

I appreciate the favor anyway.

When are you gonna come back to work here, then?

Not gonna happen.

[Brian] Not as good as Devon, is it?

No.

Um, I wondered if you still wanted to go for that drink.

-Oh.

Right.

-Or not.

No.

It's just that...

I'm seeing someone now.

Course you are.

Quite right.

Better finish up.

[dramatic music playing] [door opens] -What the hell are you doing?

-[Ellie] Nothing.

Put it away!

God's sake!

-Don't have a go at me.

-How dare you!

-I ask one wee favor.

-Why have you got that stuff anyway?

-None of your business.

-You've made it my business.

[phone rings] What?

Yeah.

Actually I'm with her right now.

The second autopsy provided no new information or suggestion that the first autopsy had overlooked anything.

They dug him up for nothing.

Just so Joe Miller could have a bit of fun.

I was thinking... we should have a date.

Huh?

What do you mean?

Go out, you and me.

You know, last chance till the baby comes.

We could go to the pictures.

Take our mind off the trial one evening.

What do you wanna go to the pictures for?

Whole point of buying a big telly was so we can watch things at home.

Dinner, then.

A meal out.

How much is that gonna set us back?

Stop going on about money.

Bloody hell.

We've got a new baby coming any second, Beth.

One wage.

Half me old customers, they're still not calling 'cause they don't know what to say about Dan.

One night.

Before it's all nappies and night feeds again.

I feel like we don't see each other.

Oh, don't we see each other every day.

We don't talk about important things.

Let's do this tonight, all right?

I'm late.

Did she say what she wanted?

What do you think it is?

[Alec] I don't know.

Stop wittering, Miller.

Ashworth came to see me earlier.

Said he's looking for Claire and he's not gonna stop till he finds her.

Well, you said that's what you wanted.

Now you've got it.

-Alec Hardy.

-I know.

Ellie.

Ellie Miller.

Come in.

[dramatic music playing] Wow.

Look at that view.

I've always envied this house.

How long have you been here?

Please have a seat.

Do both of you understand how a prosecution case is built in court?

It's my responsibility to prove your husband's guilt beyond doubt.

And I do this by building a wall of evidence, in front of the jury, brick by brick.

Each piece of evidence is a new brick.

When it's built, the wall is unassailable.

Right.

Some bricks are more important than others.

Cornerstones, for example.

A confession by the accused.

Absolutely crucial.

What did you call us here for?

You assaulted Joe Miller in the interview room at Broadchurch police station.

While you stood and watched.

Oh, God.

[Jocelyn] I have seen the tape.

What the hell were you doing?

I was upset.

I didn't believe what was happening and I asked to see my husband.

Police brutality?

Extracting a confession through violence?

It had been a very intense day.

It was an error of judgment but I had her removed as fast as I could.

How am I supposed to deal with this in court?

Hm?

Do you realize how the defense will use this?

Yeah, I do.

But how can you not have realized this was coming?

Well, he confessed.

He was gonna plead guilty.

And you giving him a kicking gave him an opportunity not to.

If they don't get it excluded straight away, which is a definite possibility, you have to go on the stand and defend it.

So you better start thinking how you're going to justify what happened that day.

Because we need this evidence in.

We can't afford to lose this confession.

His confession happened before I even saw him.

Won't make a blind bit of difference.

All the defense need to do is connect the two events by suggestion.

You have jeopardized my best chance of success before we even got going.

[suspenseful music playing] Why didn't you stop me that day?

-Oh, it's my fault now?

-Why did you let me see him?

I felt sorry for you.

I didn't expect you to go all bloody Bruce Lee on him.

Everyone will find out now.

Shit.

Tom will hear about it.

His mum beating up his dad in a police station.

Oh, God.

What do I do?

I wanna run away or hide of emigrate or... Oh, God.

What have you eaten today?

KitKat and a Scotch egg.

[Paul] It's not too late to change your plea.

I can't do that.

You can stop a lot of suffering.

Mark and Beth, they... they don't need to be put through this trial.

Have you seen Fred?

I thought maybe you could get a picture of him.

Bring it in for me.

He must have grown so much, you know.

I don't think that's appropriate.

[Joe] Well, Tom, then.

If you see him, tell him I think of him every day.

First thing.

Tell him I love him.

And, uh, I'll be coming home soon.

I'm not gonna do that, Joe.

I thought you wanted to help me.

Why have you been coming here otherwise?

Whose side you on, Paul?

[dramatic music playing] [phone vibrates] -Hi, Beth.

-Oh, hi.

Uh, where are you at the moment?

Oh, I'm just, uh, out.

Oh, okay.

I, uh...

I've come to put flowers on Mum and Danny's graves and I fancied a chat.

Ah, I'm sorry.

I'm, uh...

I'm a way aways.

-Tricky parishioner.

-Okay.

Can we find time soon?

I'd love to talk to you.

Yeah.

Definitely.

Why don't I, uh... Why don't I give you a call when I've got my diary in front of me?

-Okay.

Bye.

-[Paul] Bye.

[dramatic music playing] [Abby] Second autopsy turned up nothing new.

[Sharon] Oh, well.

It was a worth a go.

Might have rattled Jocelyn a bit.

I've been through the statements from the CID team.

Nothing new there either.

But I did track down the station cleaner.

Now, she likes a chat.

Very good on office gossip.

-Anyone else spoken to her?

-No.

Nice.

Well done.

You're very welcome.

What do you want to do about the confession?

See if there are grounds to have it excluded?

I don't know.

We'll see.

What we gonna do for dinner?

Is there anywhere good?

Only, I just...

I think it might be a bit of a risk.

Even with the treatment of Joe Miller in custody.

I think there's a Thai.

They're usually reliable, even in a place like this.

Sharon, stop tryin' to change the subjects.

What's our game plan?

I need to know what our strategy is.

The strategy is we put the prosecution to proof.

Jocelyn will try and build a wall of evidence and we smash holes in it.

After that, I'll take a view.

No point making plans until we know what they've got.

So do we try and exclude Miller's confession, or don't we?

Abby, stop nagging.

I'm still thinking.

Is this really the only place to stay?

Yeah, afraid so.

Did you have any hot water this morning?

-No.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-How's the stay?

-Brilliant.

Love it.

-Good.

Anything else you guys need, just let me know.

-Will do.

-Yeah.

Thanks very much.

Fat lot of use you are.

[laughs] Claire needs to meet Ashworth.

I wanna put them together.

And you don't see that as a risk?

No.

No, it's not a risk, it's an opportunity.

-It's only gonna come once.

-Then do it officially.

Talk to Jenkinson or one of your old bosses.

Nobody cares, Miller.

That case is tainted.

Nobody wants to get near it.

That's my failing.

I've got to put it right.

What if he didn't do it?

What if you're wrong?

Just help me convince Claire.

You risked everything for me and I let you down.

Yes.

But there are two families back in Sandbrook.

The Gillespies still don't know who killed their daughter.

The Newburys don't even have a body.

Why is this on me?

-'Cause he trusts you.

-Don't make me see him.

We'll be there.

We'll protect you.

No, I can't go back into that place.

Come on, get your coat.

-What for?

-Miller?

Ignore him.

We're gonna get some air.

Come on.

[Claire] These are the best chips I've had in my life.

[Ellie] I'll let you into a secret.

I had salad earlier.

I hate salad.

How have you not gone crackers up in that cottage?

No work, no friends?

I know.

I used to be a hairdresser before all this.

Talking all day.

Would you mine one time?

If you like.

Is that how you met your husband?

More or less.

Client of mine was having a barbecue, I was new to the area, Lee was there.

Fancied him soon as I saw him.

It was like a chemical reaction.

Three hours later I was shagging him on his floor.

You weren't.

Wow.

I've never done anything like that.

-You must have.

-I haven't.

How'd you meet your husband?

-Best not.

-Oh, go on.

It was a traffic accident.

A little old lady in a Nissan Micra.

Gone into the back of a Land Rover.

Bit of a bump.

Just minor whiplash.

I was a WPC and Joe was a paramedic.

He was kind and twinkly.

And I thought, "I like the look of you."

I didn't tell him, though, for another six weeks.

And then we kept bumping into each other at callouts.

Eventually he said, "We must stop meeting like this."

[dramatic music playing] Do you think he killed those girls?

I can't bear to think about it.

Do you think he was capable of it?

I don't know.

Do you think your husband was?

[dramatic music playing] Claire, if you did agree to meet Lee-- I put myself on the line before and it went wrong and I ended up a prisoner down here, Ellie.

I understand what you're going through.

-I understand.

-No, you don't.

[dramatic music playing] [Ellie] If you're still hiding, what happens?

And the Sandbrook family will never get the truth.

Not my responsibility.

I know you don't want it to be but I think it is.

Look what these men have done to us.

It was like I was addicted to him.

Like he was my drug.

And I broke that habit, Ellie, and I'm...

I'm afraid if I'm near him again.

-I'm scared.

-We'll look after you.

Why would you do that?

'Cause my life, my old life, is gone.

And I made so many mistakes.

And some big ones.

And I need to put something right.

We could do it together.

[dramatic music playing] When the trial starts tomorrow, so we'll be running a live blog.

There's a dedicated page on the Echo website and I will be posting hour by hour coverage of the trial.

This gonna be sick.

Try not to sound like you're enjoying it too much, Oliver.

I'm not apologizing for what we do.

You don't sound so keen.

I assess things once the dust has settled.

-Write up the bigger picture.

-Yeah, once, weekly.

by which time everyone has moved on.

I'm still your boss, petal, blog or no blog.

Hi, Jocelyn.

Thanks for coming.

I had a message from Ben you needed to see me urgently.

Yeah.

Everyone, Jocelyn's here.

No.

Oh, sorry.

It just sort of mushroomed over here.

We wanted to thank everyone for being witnesses and giving evidence for Danny.

And I just thought you could clue us in on what to expect.

It's completely inappropriate.

I shouldn't be here.

-You shouldn't have asked me.

-Oh, we didn't know.

We haven't done this before.

Sorry.

A criminal trial is a detailed, unpredictable process.

There are no guarantees.

We have a difficult task ahead.

If you've been called, don't confer on your evidence.

And never lie.

Lies get exposed in court.

You're fine there.

None of us have got anything left to hide.

I'll do everything I can to secure a conviction but it's not just down to me.

It's on everyone in this room.

Everyone in this town.

Now, I...

I really shouldn't be here.

[door opens] [Maggie] Weren't expecting that, were you?

Got ambushed.

How's it going, then?

Are you ready for the battle ahead?

Would you read to me?

[footsteps approaching] [knocks on door] Ooh.

War room.

You got everything you need?

Only the Wi-Fi's not working.

Yeah, that's down for the night, I think.

Um, you could use my phone if you need to send stuff urgently.

No.

Thanks.

Hey, um, she's quite chatty next door.

I've had complaints from the room the other side.

The walls aren't the thickest.

Oh.

Um, she's on the phone.

I can't interrupt her.

Do you know when she'll be finished?

I don't know.

Well, thanks.

[indistinct chatter] No, don't say things like that.

Seriously, don't.

I'm not having it.

Look, you've got to sort yourself out.

Nobody else can do it for you.

You can't change what's happened.

Now it's about what happens next, and that's down to you.

No.

No, actually I do.

All right.

I love you.

Yeah.

All right.

All right.

Call me again... [dramatic music playing] [sighs] She'll do it.

Claire's agreed to meet him.

Oh, man.

I could kiss you.

Just promise me that she'll be safe and you won't do anything reckless.

She'll be safe.

Nothing reckless.

She'll be safe.

-Good night.

-See you.

[dramatic music playing] [dramatic music playing] [Sharon] Don't fidget, don't mutter to yourself.

Don't shake your head if a witness says something you disagree with.

Stay neutral.

Don't make eye contact with the jury members.

The navy tie is better.

[Judge Shamra] Sorry.

Sorry.

Got bloody lost.

Thought I'd cycle in and went completely the wrong way.

Haven't quite got my, uh, bearings... yet.

So, how are you both?

Sharon, nice to see you again.

-Jocelyn, don't think we've-- -No.

Is this the door?

You should see the apartment they've given me.

Oh, please.

All right.

We are gonna run this with courtesy, dignity and respect.

For the court, for each other and for everyone involved.

A boy has been murdered.

His family will be present at all times.

We don't need to compound their suffering.

[Ellie] I can't believe we have to be here until we give evidence.

It could be days.

I'll go mad.

Are you listening to me?

[dramatic music playing] She'll see you.

I decide when, where and for how long.

I'll pick you up from an agreed location.

I'll text you the details.

So she's been with you all along.

It won't be a long meeting and I'll be watching.

You don't control us.

No.

[Lee] See you later, then.

Are you all right?

I need you to do something for me.

-Do what?

-See, plenty of time.

I can't believe this turning up in a plumber's van.

I'll get the garage to look at the car.

Stop worrying about it.

[indistinct chatter] [Chloe] Oh, bloody hell.

[Mark] It's all right.

Don't worry about it.

Just try to ignore them.

[reporters shouting] [dramatic music playing] [indistinct chatter] [Jocelyn] The man in the dock, Joe Miller, killed Daniel Latimer.

Then he moved Danny's body to a nearby beach.

Forensic evidence places him at the murder scene.

Mr. Miller surrendered to the police saying he was sick of hiding.

Mr. Miller confessed to police.

The facts are clear and will enable you to convict Mr. Miller of Daniel Latimer's murder.

Two proper coffees, petal, no foam.

Put your phone down for once, will you?

I'm just keeping the world informed.

-About what's happening here?

-Yeah.

People care about you.

One way of getting justice.

It's gonna be fine in there, petal.

You'll do brilliantly.

Thanks.

[Chloe] Mum, they're asking for you.

Okay.

[dramatic music playing] When was the last time you saw your son alive?

Uh, I looked in on him around 9:00 that night.

We'd all had tea together just after six.

Mark had gone out.

Me and Chloe were watching telly.

Danny was in his bedroom.

Had music on.

I told him he had till half nine then he had to go to bed.

And Danny gave no indication that he would be meeting anyone later in the night?

No.

Nothing.

There was nothing to make me think, I...

I replay that moment every day.

Shutting the door on him, all the things I didn't ask.

How it would have been different if I'd been a better parent.

[Jocelyn] Thank you, Mrs. Latimer.

Stay where you are, please.

As a mum myself, I know it must be difficult.

I'll keep it short.

How was your marriage at the time of Danny's death?

Fine.

Had you or your husband ever had an affair?

What's that got to do with anything?

-Can she ask that?

-Yes, she can.

And the court needs you to answer.

My husband slept with Becca Fisher.

She owns the Traders Hotel.

Did Danny know about it?

Yes.

I found out later that he did.

Did you ever hit Danny?

-No.

-Did your husband?

[suspenseful music playing] -[Sharon] Mrs. Latimer?

-What's going on?

Who's on trial here?

You need to answer the question.

Is it not enough that my son was murdered by that man there and that I lost my mum three months back because she was broken by this?

Now I've got to stand here while you ask me about things that aren't connected.

Mrs. Latimer, did your husband Mark ever hit Danny?

[suspenseful music playing] Once.

It was only once.

Thank you.

[dramatic music playing] [Sharon] No re-examination, My Lady.

Thank you, Mrs. Latimer.

You are released.

[dramatic music playing] [Claire] Has anyone noticed I'm not there?

They came over, I said you'd gone to the loo.

You won't be called for days.

Don't fuss.

Are you there yet?

I may not sure about any of this.

Now, we have got one opportunity and we need to be all over it.

I think she stepped you over the edge.

Why here?

Why not...

I mean, in a hotel room or a park?

We need to control access front and back.

It has to be somewhere we know the layout.

It's the best place.

It's a totally mutual location.

[dramatic music playing] Not for me, it's not.

It's just, I've never been back in.

-Detective Hardy.

-Ohhhh.

I'm being called.

Bloody hell.

I won't be long.

I'll come when I'm done.

[Sharon] DI Hardy, you were the arresting officer.

[Alec] Correct.

[Sharon] I'd like you to take us through the events of Mr. Miller's arrest.

Where did the arrest take place?

[Alec] At Mr. Miller's house.

[suspenseful music playing] [dramatic music playing] I love you, Miller.

You coerced Joe Miller into saying he killed Daniel Latimer, didn't you, DI Hardy?

No.

I found him in the shed with the phone.

And he confessed, as I have recorded in my notes.

I suggest that Joe Miller found Daniel Latimer's phone and was about to report it to the police when you arrived alone and jumped to a false conclusion because it suited your purposes.

What purpose would that be?

You were under pressure.

You needed a result, didn't you?

There's always pressure to find a killer.

Hadn't you just been labeled Britain's worst cop by the national press?

One paper.

Are we letting the media judge this trial?

Or are we sticking to facts?

Stick with the events of the arrest, Ms. Bishop.

Absolutely.

Let's move to the station.

When was a doctor called for Mr. Miller?

I believe it was around 2:15 pm.

Why did you call a doctor?

Mr. Miller had sustained an injury.

[Sharon] Injuries, plural.

He sustained a broken rib and bruising to the neck, chest and torso, correct?

Yes.

How did he get these injuries?

[dramatic music playing] DI Hardy, how did the defendant sustain injuries while in custody at Broadchurch police station?

After DS Miller learned of her husband, the defendant's, confession, she asked to see him.

Against allowed procedure.

Yes.

-Who allowed this visit?

-I did.

I supervised, along with two other officers.

What happened?

DS Miller attacked the defendant.

She kicked the living daylights out of him, didn't she?

And you, you just stood there and watched, didn't you?

No.

As soon as she started attacking him, I called in other officers and they removed DS Miller.

It was my error.

It had been... a long and emotional investigation.

How many other times was the defendant beaten -while in custody?

-None.

Did you use violence against the defendant at the house in order to get him to make a confession?

Absolutely not.

Well, why should we believe you?

An officer who, by his own admission, stood by and watched as a colleague beat up a suspect.

No, that's not how it happened.

My Lady, the defense applies to have the defendant's confession excluded pursuant to Section 76 and 78 of Pace.

The confession is on camera.

The injuries were sustained after he confessed.

We cannot discount the possibility that the injuries were sustained before his arrival at the police station.

[suspenseful music playing] I agree with the defense.

I am minded to exclude the confession from evidence.

[both breathes heavily] Members of the jury, you are to disregard it entirely.

[suspenseful music playing] [Alec] All right.

Thanks.

[dramatic music playing] Well, what happened?

The confession's been excluded.

Sorry, Miller.

Right.

It's done.

It's gone.

Nothing to be done.

Try not to think about it.

You go fetch Claire.

Go on.

Ta.

[dramatic music playing] [car engine revving] [mobile vibrates] Do you tell Mrs. Latimer we meet?

-No.

-Why not?

I don't know.

Why did you suggest it, then?

Maybe it's 'cause I think that... if it was the other way round and Dan had been left behind.

I'd want someone looking out for him, you know?

Part of me feels that it's my fault.

What happened to Dan and what happened to all of us.

Just feel like I'm responsible for it.

You know?

And I can see it in everyone's faces when they look at me.

Everyone's.

All the time.

I'm trying to make it better.

But...

But I know I never can.

You know?

[dramatic music playing] [suspenseful music playing] Alec'll be in the kitchen and I'll be by the front door.

-If you're okay with that.

-Sounds good.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

I've got a bit of butterflies, actually.

-Really?

-It's all right.

I mean, he would never do anything to harm me.

He's never been rough with me.

Not unless I've asked.

[suspenseful music playing] So, where is she?

This way.

[dramatic music playing] -[door opens] -[Nige] Beth.

Nige.

How many times?

You can't just come in like that.

No, I've just seen Ellie.

-She's back in her house.

-What?

This way.

[suspenseful music playing] Give me your coat.

[laughs] [Alec] I'll keep the coat.

Do you wanna pat me down as well?

Yeah, if you're offering.

[dramatic music playing] You haven't made her wear a wire or anything, have you?

No.

Front room.

[suspenseful music playing] We're coming in.

Okay.

-You all right?

-Mm.

-You ready?

-Yeah.

[suspenseful music playing] First door on the right.

Okay.

She's in.

I'll be in the kitchen.

Miller will be by the front door.

You've got 15 minutes.

Okay.

-You all right?

-Yeah.

[dramatic music playing] Oh, God.

I missed you.

You okay?

Yeah.

I thought I'd never see you again.

Has he made you record this?

No.

I promise.

No wire.

There's nothing.

[Ellie] I'm in position.

Outside.

[dramatic music playing] I need to check.

[suspenseful music playing] [Ellie] Are you sure she's safe?

Course.

I'm recording everything.

-What?

How?

-Cameras.

You're bugging my house?

Is that legal?

You could have told me.

I'm telling you now.

I'm not leaving them alone, am I?

[Beth] Ellie.

Oh, God.

Do you know what happened in court today?

Beth, I'm sorry.

His whole confession gone because of you.

Miller, what's going on?

So what is this?

You think you can move back?
