1"Episode One" Euros Lyn Sally Wainwright 29 April 2014 (2014-04-29)8.64
Catherine Cawood is a sergeant in the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire that is riddled with a drug culture that is daunting to tackle. She lives with her sister, Clare, a recovering heroin addict, and is bringing up her eight-year-old grandson, Ryan. 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. Catherine believes that the rape was what drove her daughter to suicide shortly after giving birth. Kevin Weatherill is an accountant in a large company run by his late father's best friend, Nevison Gallagher. 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. Cowgill involves two of his employees, Lewis Whippey and Royce, but demands more money than planned thus causing Kevin's scheme to backfire. 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. 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.

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. 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. When checking on Ann, Whippey learns that Royce has raped her. After spotting Royce, but quickly losing track of him, Catherine seeks the help of local businesses to find him. 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. Royce informs Cowgill, who in turn tells Kevin that police appear to have some interest in the house. Meanwhile, Catherine grows impatient with her ex-husband Richard and his refusal to accept Ryan as his grandson.
3"Episode Three"Euros LynSally Wainwright13 May 2014 (2014-05-13)7.69
Young police officer and Catherine's protégé, Kirsten McAskill, pulls over a speeding van being driven by Whippey. After asking him to open the back door (where Ann is being held temporarily), Kirsten is murdered by Royce. Cowgill panics and fears being caught to the point of contemplating abandoning the plot altogether. 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. Whippey demonstrates compassion towards Ann, but tells her that he feels that he can't help her. As Catherine struggles to come to terms with Kirsten's death (for which she blames herself), she has flashbacks to when her daughter died. She later returns to the house where she saw Royce, breaks in, and finds it empty, but discovers evidence of the kidnapping. She then prioritises her pursuit of him.
4"Episode Four"Sally WainwrightSally Wainwright20 May 2014 (2014-05-20)8.33
After Cowgill had ordered Royce to "dispose" of Ann, Royce chose to keep her in his mother's cellar instead, rather than kill her. Helen and Nevison finally inform the police about the kidnapping, but Catherine says that it is unlikely that Ann will be released alive. 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. Royce runs into Catherine outside Ryan's school, but when she warns Royce to stay away from them, he tells Ryan that he is his father. Catherine then visits Royce's mother only to find Ann being held captive in the cellar. However, Royce returns before Ann is freed and overpowers Catherine, but she and Ann manage to escape.
5"Episode Five" Tim Fywell Sally Wainwright27 May 2014 (2014-05-27)8.10
Catherine fights for her life in hospital after Royce's attack, which police are treating as attempted murder of a police officer. Royce informs Cowgill that Ann has escaped, so Cowgill cuts off contact with him and Whippey, who then become fugitives. After questioning, Kevin is arrested on suspicion of "abduction and demanding money with menaces" when detectives learn that he was lying about where the money had been delivered. Cowgill is later arrested for the same offence, but is released after confessing to the police about the large drug smuggling trade he was part of and agrees to put himself and his family into witness protection. Catherine learns of all this while in hospital and also that the white van involved in the murder of PC Kirsten McAskill is registered to Cowgill. Ann manages to sneak into the hospital to see Catherine where she confesses that Royce raped her. She tells Catherine that she doesn't want her mum to know, pointing out that her terminal cancer will kill her long before they get to trial, but knows her dad will need to know but she can't bring herself to do it. Catherine offers to tell him instead. After pulling through, Catherine begins to suffer from depression after learning Royce is still at large and that she missed Kirsten's funeral. Royce and Whippey hide in a flat owned by Brett McKendrick, a friend of Whippey's. After police search the flat, Royce overhears Whippey tell Brett that he is not responsible for murdering Kirsten, for attacking Catherine, or for raping Ann and recommends that they turn Royce in to the police. Royce ends up stabbed after murdering both of his accomplices. He then assumes a disguise to hide from the police in Hebden Bridge.
6"Episode Six"Tim FywellSally Wainwright3 June 2014 (2014-06-03)8.78
Catherine visits Nevison at his work and tells him about Ann being raped by Royce. Nevison is devastated but agrees with Catherine that Helen doesn't need to know. Clare invites family and friends to a birthday party for an acquiescing Catherine, but tensions rise when Daniel lets slip some information about her now-deceased daughter and Royce's relationship thereby implying that Catherine's assessment of Becky's rape leading to her suicide may be incorrect. Cowgill is shot dead the day before he is to enter witness protection with the police assuming that he was killed by someone involved in the drug trade. Royce camps in an unoccupied narrowboat and tracks down Ryan cycling alone on his way home from school. Royce takes him back to the boat for a chat, but later Ryan invites along a friend for a visit the next day, which Clare finds out via his friend's mother. On the following day, Royce plans to kill himself and Ryan, but Catherine spots her grandson's bicycle outside the boat and finally apprehends Royce after hearing Ryan scream for help.

Police begin to suspect a serial killer is behind the murders, and Detective Superintendent Andy Shepherd and Detective Inspector Jodie Shackleton are called in to take charge of the case.
