He tells Catherine and Phil Crabtree, a Detective Inspector with the National Crime Agency, that Kevin has been delivering the money to service stations and that the kidnappers specifically requested for Kevin to do so this alarms Catherine because of her earlier encounter with him in the police station. Helen and Nevison finally inform the police about the kidnapping, but Catherine says that it is unlikely that Ann will be released alive. She then prioritises her pursuit of him.Īfter Cowgill had ordered Royce to "dispose" of Ann, Royce chose to keep her in his mother's cellar instead, rather than kill her. She later returns to the house where she saw Royce, breaks in, and finds it empty, but discovers evidence of the kidnapping. As Catherine struggles to come to terms with Kirsten's death (for which she blames herself), she has flashbacks to when her daughter died. Whippey demonstrates compassion towards Ann, but tells her that he feels that he can't help her. Nevison's wife Helen urges him to inform the police of the kidnapping, but he refuses due to being fearful that disobeying the kidnappers would further endanger Ann. Cowgill panics and fears being caught to the point of contemplating abandoning the plot altogether. After asking him to open the back door (where Ann is being held temporarily), Kirsten is murdered by Royce. Young police officer and Catherine's protégé, Kirsten McAskill, pulls over a speeding van being driven by Whippey. Meanwhile, Catherine grows impatient with her ex-husband Richard and his refusal to accept Ryan as his grandson. Royce informs Cowgill, who in turn tells Kevin that police appear to have some interest in the house. She later receives a call saying that Royce has been spotted and then sees him through the window of the house where, unbeknownst to her, Ann is being held. After spotting Royce, but quickly losing track of him, Catherine seeks the help of local businesses to find him.
When checking on Ann, Whippey learns that Royce has raped her. Nevison asks Kevin to help deliver the ransom money to the kidnappers without alerting the police (at Cowgill's request), so Kevin delivers the first portion in person. Overcome with guilt, Kevin confesses everything to his wife, Jenny, who urges him not to take his cut of the ransom money, though he is reluctant to refuse it. Kevin travels to the police station and begins to make a statement to Catherine anonymously, but Catherine records his number plate when he drives off after changing his mind. After Nevison changes his mind and agrees to pay both of Kevin's daughters' school fees, Kevin calls Cowgill to cancel their plans, but it is too late: Ann has already been kidnapped by Whippey and Royce. Cowgill involves two of his employees, Lewis Whippey and Royce, but demands more money than planned thus causing Kevin's scheme to backfire. When Nevison refuses to raise Kevin's pay so that he can afford to send his daughters to a better school, he devises a plot with local thug Ashley Cowgill to kidnap Nevison's daughter, Ann, and hold her for ransom. Kevin Weatherill is an accountant in a large company run by his late father's best friend, Nevison Gallagher. Catherine believes that the rape was what drove her daughter to suicide shortly after giving birth.
Whilst visiting Ryan's teacher regarding the boy's behavioural problems, Catherine reveals that his father is a man called Tommy Lee Royce, who raped her daughter Becky. She lives with her sister, Clare, a recovering heroin addict, and is bringing up her eight-year-old grandson, Ryan.
