Blackpool - Season 1 - Episode 3

2004-11-2560 min⭐ 7/10

Forensic evidence links Ripley ever more closely to the murder, and his application for planning permission is rejected. It seems Lady Luck has turned against him and his world is falling apart. Natalie discovers that Carlisle is a police officer, and that he has been investigating her family. She is devastated; the little time they've spent together has made her feel more alive than she has felt in years. Shyanne's boyfriend, Steve, is badly beaten up. She's convinced that her father is behind the attack, but he denies any involvement. Danny starts to crack under pressure, and ends up getting himself into even more trouble. He's set up in a drugs bust, but Carlisle just gives him a ticking off. What Carlisle really wants is evidence that Ripley committed the murder. Danny, though, shocks him by turning up to the police station and confessing to the murder himself.
