Jericho

Whole thing was an accident.

Nobody's going to find out.

You'll make sure, they'll only dig so far?

This ground is soft, there's something else.

There's another body. I have nothing new to tell you.

We didn't have a body back then.

With a blanket, this is a direct link to someone from your house.

I saw you, tear out something from his body.

Could be of some use, might even point to who did it.

Take this.

It's a proud moment, when a man receives his first ever wage.

No matter how he comes by it.

The world is full of men like Rory McCleod.

It's the ones that love you, even when you give them reason not to.

That's a real man.

That's your Davey.

John and Isabella were together? Is that what you're telling me?

It's you that I care about. Then aren't I lucky to have you?

You can't go on the run. Annie, I have to.

Coates. He won't let this lie.

Perhaps Coates understands exactly the type of man you are.

A liar, a cheat. Is it unreasonable to assume a murderer too?

Mam?

Mam?

Yes, love?

What's gonna happen to Johnny?

I don't know.

But it were my fault.

I can't let him take t'blame for it.

We'll sort it.

Now try and get some sleep.

I need to own up, Mam.

I better tell them that it were me. No, you don't.

You get that idea out of your head right now. And keep your voice down.

How the heck are you gonna sort it?

What's happening?

Nothing, love.

You go back to sleep.

Your brother's dreaming, is all.

I was only saying.

You've been "only saying" all morning.

Just give it a rest, will you?

Mark my words, the law takes on a different meaning when you're a gentleman.

We'll see no justice here.

Red was murdered in cold blood and thrown in the ground like an animal.

Now his body's sitting there rotting,

while Johnny Blackwood kisses the backsides of his cronies.

Look, everybody says Red were responsible for the explosion.

It seems to me he were an animal!

There's no proof Johnny did owt.

But if he did, I reckon he was doing us all a favour.

You two have always been special friends, haven't you?

Hey, hey. Leave it! Leave it!

Leave it!

Get back to work, you two.

And no more trouble.

Forgive me for intruding, Mr Blackwood.

But with you being his brother, you'll know he's not to blame.

I can't help you, Mrs Quaintain. Coates is dealing with the matter.

He must take my brother before the magistrate, same as any man.

But you have sway, sir...

..influence.

And I know you're a good man.

The way you took my daughter in, saved her life.

You know Johnny could never hurt anyone.

Justice is blind to family loyalty.

I can't get involved.

So you're happy to entrust his life to another?

And you're sure Mr Coates is the right man?

I'm sorry, Mrs Quaintain.

You can't just abandon him!

Your food, Mr Blackwood.

I trust you slept well.

I need to see my brother.

I need to talk to him.

No, it's best you stay right here for now.

Red has friends on the gang and there've been rumblings.

I've sent for the magistrate, but until then,

you're safer under lock and key.

And whatever's happened between us, sir,

I'll see that you're dealt with fairly.

Mr Coates?

The workers are not happy, sir. They want answers.

As do we all.

We need to get t'magistrate down here quick time to avoid trouble.

It's a day's ride into town. I ain't leaving that prisoner with no protection.

And I ain't taking him with me, neither.

You yourself know, anything can happen up on those moors.

No, we stay right here until things quieten down.

This is our town.

Our turf, and Red was one of our own, not some gent dressed up in navvy's clothes.

Johnny needs to pay for what he did to him.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

I can assure you, justice will be served. You have my word.

What's your promise count for in a room full of gentlemen who think we're nowt but scum?

You run this town. Do something!

All right. Do it now before we do.

Let's talk about it.

See if maybe we can come to a solution between ourselves.

Capstick's.

Joe? Yeah?

A barrel of ale if you will.

A barrel? That's right.

If you please.

We've got important matters to discuss.

I'll roll one out.

What are you doing? What is it?

Davey, please, I need to see him.

It ain't safe here.

Imagine it were Alma, begging to see you.

I have to talk to him.

All right.

But if Mr Coates catches you, or me, for that matter...

Thank you.

Annie.

Annie.

What are we gonna do?

I'm helpless, trapped in here.

I'll think of something.

In the meantime, we keep quiet.

We give them nothing.

Maybe Charles will see sense.

No, we're on our own, he won't help us.

I went to him, asked him to help.

He straight out refused, won't use his position, anything.

No, listen to me, it'll be all right.

I'll do everything I can to get Coates off your back,

clear your name, I don't know how but I will.

Annie, be careful.

Coates is gunning for me.

He'll stop at nothing to be rid of me.

Then let him do his worst.

He's got nothing on you, no evidence.

You didn't kill Red.

Drink up, gentlemen.

If you'll excuse me a moment, I've got business to attend to.

What's Coates playing at, filling their bellies with ale?

Surely it'll inflame things?

I don't know, but it's the fastest grasp of silver we've had in a while.

Mr Quaintain?

Whoa, whoa.

It's all right.

This trouble's got us all on edge.

Yes, sir.

Your mother too, huh?

Especially since your pa's gone and Johnny's locked up.

She's scared, sir. Well, it's an upsetting business.

It must be tough on you, living in that house.

You know, uh...

sometimes a man needs another man's counsel.

Come and take a walk with me.

Sometimes you just need to share the weight.

You know?

Take another man's view on the world.

I guess you had Johnny until now.

You were beginning to trust him...

..seek his advice.

I do listen to him.

And me mam.

Just happen they're not always right.

I mean...how can I let another man take on something that's my doing?

George, what's on your mind?

I promised me mam that I'd take it to t'grave.

I feel so ashamed.

I can't stop thinking about it.

It's there every day when I wake up.

He had nowt to do with it.

It had nothing to do with Johnny.

He were just trying to help.

I didn't mean him no harm.

I wanted to get away from him.

Are you telling me...

..that Red's death was down to you?

Johnny tried to cover it up.

I can't let him pay for it, I can't.

I'm scared.

Come here, son. Aww.

We can handle this between us.

You mustn't say a thing about this.

Not another word about it to anybody.

Aye, of course.

Now we're for it.

These lot won't rest until they've lynched him.

Aye, I think you're right.

Coates has made fools of us all.

Thinking he can quieten us down with a bellyful of ale?

It's time Johnny Blackwood learnt the meaning of justice.

Open the door, Davey!

Look, I can't do that. Calm down, Shay.

Get out of me way!

Blackwood!

Come on out to me, Blackwood!

Let me out, Davey!

Come out here! Get back, Shay.

Come on, get back! Everybody, get back!

Calm down.

Calm down! Get back!

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

Gentlemen!

Everybody, calm down!
