Synopsis:

PCs Dennis Morrisey and Janet Taylor are called to a domestic, and arrive to discover housewife Lucy Payne lying unconscious on the living room floor. When they begin searching the house, they are confronted by Lucy's deranged husband Marcus, who attacks and murders Morrisey with a machete, before being subdued and arrested by Taylor. When Banks arrives at the scene, he is startled to discover the bodies of four teenage girls who had recently been reported missing, in Payne's cellar. However, there is no sign of the fifth misper, Leanne Wray. When Marcus Payne falls into a coma, Annie leads up an investigation into PC Taylor's conduct. When Lucy Payne regains consciousness, she fails to provide any evidence that incriminates her husband, or to the whereabouts of Leanne. Banks soon believes that the key to the whole case could lie with the Payne's neighbour, Maggie Forrest, who appears to have more connections to the case than first meets the eye. While questioning PC Taylor, Annie receives the news that Marcus Payne has died in hospital, and has no choice but to charge PC Taylor with manslaughter, despite the fact she acted in self-defence. When the case gets to court, however, Annie provides evidence which leads to the verdict of not guilty. Meanwhile, a friend of Leanne's informs Banks that Marcus Payne had a female accomplice, who helped him lure the teenage girls back to his house.

Two police officers are called to an apparent domestic where they find Lucy Payne unconscious. Investigating a noise in the cellar they are attacked by her husband Marcus,who kills one of them with a machete before the other,Janet Taylor,knocks him out and he is arrested. D.C.I. Alan Banks comes to the house and finds the corpses of four missing blonde girls, though there is no sign of Leanne Wray,who also disappeared. The case is hampered when,due to an interfering hospital doctor perturbed that Janet put Payne in a coma, Alan is shadowed by annoying D.S. Annie Cabbot from the Professional Standards Department. Lucy,a frequent victim of her husband's violence,cannot help trace Leanne,being unaware that her husband was a mass killer and also unaware that he was having sex with Maggie,the concerned neighbour who wanted her to leave him and who called the police to the Paynes' house. After a chilly first meeting Annie suggests to Alan that they have a drink together and he agrees to,whilst wondering if she is using him for career advancement. Just as they are getting cosy,they get the call to say that Payne has died. Now there is nobody able to locate Leanne.

Season 1, Episode 2: Aftermath - Part 2
Original Air Date-4 October 2010
Thanks to a damage limitation-obsessed Chief Superintendant,Janet is charged with manslaughter though Annie sees that she gets off. A friend of the missing Leanne leads Alan to believe that Payne had a female accomplice to lure the girls into his car and Lucy is the obvious suspect,though she denies it,at the same time admitting she knew her husband was a killer. She also blackmails Maggie into paying for a lawyer for her though Maggie counters by ringing the press to explode the 'accomplice' story. Investigations show Lucy to have been the victim in a famous abuse case as a child and she is diagnosed as mentally ill and incapable of having a mind to murder. Alan must discover to what extent she really was involved in the killings and if she knows where to find Leanne,alive or dead.

Stephen Tompkinson (Wild at Heart, Grafters) leads the cast as detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks, based on the hugely successful novels from award-winning international crime writer Peter Robinson. Tompkinson stars in the TV adaptation of three Inspector Banks novels: Playing with Fire, Friend of the Devil and Cold is the Grave. In Playing with Fire two bodies are found after a fire on some narrow boats and Banks and DS Annie Cabbot find themselves on the trail of an arsonist who has killed two people. In Friend of the Devil a young student is attacked in the middle of the city and in another part of Yorkshire a woman has her throat cut, but the two different murders have disturbing similarities. Cold is the Grave is a case terrifyingly close to home as Banks is asked by his boss, Superintendant Gerry Rydell, to find his missing teenage daughter...
