00:00.
00:12Paul Evans.
00:13Sorry, guys, whatever you're selling, I probably don't need it.
00:16Definitely can't afford it.
00:17We're buying, not selling.
00:19Sam Haig.
00:20What about him?
00:21You were the one that found him?
00:23Yeah.
00:24He's a person of interest in a case that we're working on.
00:26Sam's dead four years now?
00:28Yeah, September 26th.
00:30A woman named Merit Lingard went missing on the 27th.
00:32Okay.
00:33They were in a relationship.
00:35What sort of relationship?
00:36That's what we're trying to figure out.
00:39Is it the adrenaline?
00:40I mean, is that the attraction, the danger?
00:42No, it's not really like that.
00:44Climbing takes focus, more like meditating.
00:46Meditating by hanging on by your fingertips?
00:48Yeah.
00:49I suppose you can't understand it unless you've done it.
00:51Any of these Haig?
00:53Yeah.
00:54Which one's Haig?
00:55Here.
00:56Ooh.
00:57Can't be going lucky, chap.
01:00Yeah, he was pissed off.
01:01I took that picture of him.
01:02Can I have that?
01:03Sure.
01:04Thanks.
01:05So, tell us how you found him.
01:07I went up there early one morning to take some photos for the website.
01:11That's when I noticed that Sam's car was in the car park.
01:14How early?
01:15Before the gate was open.
01:16I had my own key, but that meant that Sam's car had been locked in overnight.
01:21Any idea how he fell off?
01:22I mean, outside, obviously, that he let go.
01:24I couldn't say.
01:26Other than he broke my cardinal rule.
01:28Never climb alone.
01:29And why would he do that?
01:31Dunno.
01:32Maybe he'd been watching too many Alex Honnold videos and decided to free Solo the crag.
01:37Yeah, like a fucking idiot.
01:38Note yourselves.
01:40So, what, he liked to take risks?
01:45With Sam.
01:46God, his whole damn life was one big risk.
01:48Eh, I think he might have preferred the word adventure.
01:51He shows up one afternoon saying he needed a distraction.
01:54That he was bored with his routine investigating murderers or whatever.
01:57If you can believe that.
01:58You didn't like him?
01:59No, I liked Sam.
02:00I just wasn't thrilled about his friendship with Paul.
02:03Why?
02:04Well, he was a psycho for one thing.
02:06Oh, come on.
02:07He was.
02:08Look, I wasn't remotely surprised when I heard he'd fall.
02:10And I was just relieved that Paul wasn't with him.
02:12You know that he knew you didn't like having him around?
02:14Yeah, because he was always around.
02:16He was lonely.
02:17Are you re... what you saw?
02:19Meaning he was responsible for his own death.
02:22Meaning it was inevitable.
02:24Look, I don't know if Sam was having a relationship with this...
02:27Merit.
02:28Yeah, this merit person.
02:30But if it was personal, he never mentioned it.
02:33And if it was professional, there's no way he would have told me about it.
02:36Well, we don't know what it was yet.
02:38Did he ever mention anyone?
02:39Other friends?
02:40Maybe family?
02:41Girlfriend?
02:42Well, like I said, he was lonely.
02:43When he wasn't at work, he was either here with us or up on the crack.
02:46Yeah, with Paul.
02:50Okay.
02:51Well, I think we've taken up enough of your time.
02:54Uh, how often did Sam climb the crack?
03:01Once a week.
03:03On any particular day or...?
03:05No, but it was usually later on when it was less busy.
03:07And how long does it take to get to the top?
03:10Well, for Sam, 45 minutes. Longer if he was free soloing it.
03:14Why longer?
03:15Because you're more careful when there isn't a rope.
03:17Ahem.
03:19Sure.
03:27So we climbed all the way up there without any ropes.
03:30Doesn't exactly scream murder so much as what the fuck did you expect?
03:35There is at least a dozen signs around here stating the hours of the park.
03:39And how if you're still here, the gate will be locked and your vehicle will be unable to leave.
03:44He ignored the signs.
03:45Sam Haig fell on a Sunday.
03:47We know this because it wasn't found until Monday when Paul Evans saw his car still in the car park.
03:52Sam Haig climbed here once a week. The climb takes 45 minutes or an hour if you free climb.
03:57I get your point.
03:58He knew he did not have enough time. He knew the rules. Then why did he do it?
04:02Well, either he was a raving lunatic, like what's-her-name said in there, or someone chucked him off.
04:07Again why?
04:08I don't know, but I can guarantee you the answer lies with whatever he was doing with Merit as opposed to here.
04:13He didn't have his car keys.
04:16Somehow his car is locked with his equipment bag still inside, but no keys were ever found.
04:22Not in any of the lockers inside the climbing centre, not on his person, not anywhere around here where he fell.
04:28I won't argue. It's all wrong.
04:30It's all obviously wrong, as it was with Merit.
04:33Where I come from, when facts are being so clearly ignored, it's never because of incompetence.
04:39Why?
04:40Why?
04:41I've had to be an asset.
04:42Why?
04:43Why?
04:44Why?
04:45Why?
04:46Why?
04:47Why?
04:48Why?
04:49Why?
04:50Because of the defeat you have to be of guiltless, is your own incompetence.
04:51Why?
04:52Why?
04:53Why?
04:54Why?
04:55Why?
04:56Why?
04:57Why?
04:58Why?
04:59Why?
05:00Why?
05:01Why?
05:02Why?
05:03Why?
05:04Why?
05:05Why?
05:06Why?
05:06Why?
05:07I don't know.
05:37Sam Hague. Wasn't sure he'd come.
05:57I'm not staying.
05:59Oh?
06:00You need to stop bothering my PA.
06:02Sabrina said I was bothering you.
06:03No, I'm saying it.
06:05Okay.
06:06I'm not remotely interested in talking to a reporter about my work.
06:10Understood.
06:11Well, thank you for taking the time to come by and tell me so in person.
06:16I might as well have something to eat.
06:27Here, the onion soup's amazing.
06:28You don't do profiles.
06:35Not anymore, no.
06:37You cover organised crime.
06:39Yeah.
06:40So why would you want to write about me?
06:41I don't.
06:42I don't.
06:43Like you said, you're not my thing at all.
06:45The idea came up in a meeting.
06:46I see.
06:47It was my editor.
06:48So a statement you made on TV, the one about how nobody gets away with anything.
06:54And I thought you might be someone worth looking into.
06:57But not you.
06:58I mean, I did what I do, found some interesting things.
07:01But?
07:02But it's maybe the stuff that I couldn't find that's more interesting.
07:06Like what?
07:07Like your background.
07:09More in particular.
07:10What about more in particular?
07:11You don't talk about it.
07:13You talk about uni.
07:16You talk about work.
07:18I can't find anything where you talk about you.
07:23Because I'm the least interesting part of my life.
07:26Wanda.
07:27Well, unlike most people, I don't curate my private life.
07:32Keep it private.
07:34Yeah.
07:35You want to remain a mystery.
07:37I get that.
07:38Hey, Sam.
07:39Bullshit.
07:40Let's cut the cute little boy out and get to what's happening here.
07:44You think there's something rotten in my department?
07:49Something having to do with, say, oh, I don't know, organised crime?
07:54So that's why you came to meet me in person.
07:57You want to eyeball me?
07:59Yeah.
08:00I'd do the same.
08:01So is there.
08:03Something rotten in Denmark?
08:06I have no idea.
08:07But if you're the one asking, I bet you have one.
08:10Your dad's a fisherman, right?
08:12So you know that a boat with a weak spot in the hull is the same as a boat with a leak.
08:17And in that awesome metaphor, am I the weak spot or the leak?
08:21Maybe you're just on a leaky boat.
08:23You're the mystery.
08:24Am I?
08:25More like a phantom.
08:26Byline and a bunch of headlines.
08:29Lots of awards.
08:30But no bio, no social media, no recent photos.
08:38Camera makes me look fat.
08:40Well, given who and what you write about, I suppose some level of caution is necessary.
08:44Only if I want to continue living.
08:51I can't be my own subject.
08:53And in that regard, you and I are in the same boat, so to speak.
08:59Enjoy your soup, Mr. Hake.
09:22Hello.
09:23Oh, hello.
09:24Need some help.
09:25Yeah, that'd be lovely.
09:27Where is it going?
09:28Just over there.
09:29Sorry.
09:30It's heavier than it looks.
09:31It's heavier than it looks.
09:52Oh.
09:53It's the other way around.
09:54Oh.
09:55Okay.
09:56Just grab it.
09:57Oh.
09:58Here.
09:59You got it.
10:00Yeah, got it.
10:01Okay, cool.
10:03So, I'm looking forward.
10:04Oh, hold on.
10:05Oh, hold on.
10:06Oh.
10:07Oh.
10:08Yeah, got it.
10:09Oh.
10:10Okay, cool.
10:12So, I'm looking forward-
10:13Oh, hold on.
10:14Oh, hold on.
10:15Oh, hold on.
10:17Oh, hold on.
10:18Oh.
10:19Oh.
10:20Okay, I'm looking for Carl, with regard to...
10:38Oh, we had an appointment, which of course he missed, so I'm here to tell him how I feel about that.
10:44And you are?
10:45Rachel Irving, I'm working with HR.
10:48You're the cover for Dr Sonnenberg.
10:51You should be a detective.
10:52Well, I heard Carl say to someone that you were very nice to look at, so...
10:58Is that a urinal?
11:00Is Sally coming back?
11:03Dr Sonnenberg?
11:05I don't think so.
11:09Were you seeing her?
11:11Maybe for your OCD?
11:14I've not seen her any more, eh?
11:17I mean, I only saw her, like, once or twice.
11:20Maybe a bit more than that, but, um...
11:22No, that was a while ago.
11:24She was nice.
11:26I had a bit of PTSD, along with the OCD.
11:30And some ADHD, BED.
11:33Wow.
11:34Walloped by the whole alphabet.
11:36Right in the bohooke, yeah.
11:38Did the tennis balls help?
11:39Not really, no.
11:40But, er...
11:41She seemed very keen, so...
11:43Got a very firm handshake now.
11:45How are you feeling now?
11:46Better.
11:49I mean, not totally better.
11:50I get the old flashback, but, erm...
11:54It's all right.
11:55We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.
11:58Looks like a big case.
11:59Aye.
12:00Thought he was exaggerating.
12:01Er, no.
12:02Carl doesn't really lie.
12:03Not about the big stuff, anyway.
12:04Just about himself.
12:05Hmm.
12:06That's the human condition, isn't it?
12:07Protecting ourselves.
12:08Well, I find the human condition to be more indecision, disappointment and depression.
12:11What's your name?
12:12Er, Rose.
12:13Well, Rose, we've only just met.
12:14So, take this as you will, but...
12:16Maybe sitting in a dark basement isn't the best place for you.
12:19I think I met her once.
12:20Marriott Lingard.
12:21Not on the job?
12:22No.
12:23At a party.
12:24With an ex.
12:25Lawyers.
12:26They all know each other.
12:27What was she like?
12:28Guarded.
12:29Well, I should get going.
12:30If you do see Carl...
12:31I was a passenger in a pursuit when we hit a pedestrian.
12:33Oh, no.
12:34No.
12:35No.
12:36No.
12:37I'm sorry.
12:38No, no.
12:39No, no.
12:40No.
12:41No, no.
12:42No, no, no.
12:43No, no.
12:44No, no, no.
12:45No, no, no.
12:46No, no.
12:47No, no, no.
12:48No, no, no.
12:49No, no.
12:50No, no, no.
12:51No, no.
12:52No, no.
12:53Ferry Road. Pensioner.
12:59I'm so sorry. I remember that.
13:03Me too. Which is the problem.
13:09Er, what was your message for Carl?
13:12It doesn't matter. I mean, why bother? He'll just ignore it.
13:17I think he feels responsible.
13:20For what?
13:21Everything.
13:26Well, it was nice to meet you, Rose.
13:30Wow.
13:32You weren't kidding about that handshake?
13:34It's not that unusual. Sam Hague met lots of his sources in hotels of one sort or another.
13:45Yeah, I'm sure. But did any of them go missing after? Or in this case, the day after Sam died?
13:58I obviously couldn't say.
14:01Could he have been working on a story with Merit? One that put her at risk as well?
14:05Well, if he was, it would be the first I've heard of it. But that also isn't so unusual.
14:10But you were his editor?
14:11It doesn't mean I knew what he was up to. Sam worked under the radar for his own safety.
14:16How did that work?
14:18Well, I spoke with him. But I rarely saw him. He lived in the sticks. He's a burner phone.
14:22I'm not even sure if Sam Hague was his real name. We had what you might call an arm's length relationship.
14:30Still, you must have known what he was working on.
14:33Not until he was ready to tell me. Until then, he did his own thing.
14:37I see him he took notes?
14:38I'm sure he did. But I swear he may have kept them. I'm afraid that information died along with him. And probably for the best.
14:46You weren't curious at all?
14:48I was damn curious. And great effort was made to locate any of his work product. But nothing was found.
14:56That itself is curious.
14:58Again, not if you knew the sorts of people Sam spent his time with.
15:01Do you think one of them might have shoved him off the cliff?
15:02This may sound surprising coming from someone like me, but not everything is a conspiracy.
15:09As Freud liked to say, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
15:14And sometimes it's a big throbbing.
15:16Thank you very much for your time.
15:21I thought I'd give you a recall so you can see our new home.
15:25Yeah, that's right. We're down in the fucking basement.
15:29Lots of storage.
15:33Helmets. Need to remember them.
15:38That's the biggins desk.
15:41Akram's desk.
15:43And my desk.
15:45Over here we have the bathroom unit.
15:50Got some lovely showers.
15:53A disgusting sink.
15:55And some toilets so horrendous the rats avoid them.
15:58I had no idea any of this stuff was even down here.
16:02Before my time I guess.
16:03Do I have a tissue?
16:07Look, I'm sorry for falling all to pieces the other day.
16:11Thank you for setting me right.
16:12Is that the board behind you?
16:14Yeah.
16:16What, do you want to see it?
16:17Do you want to see more urinals?
16:18Yeah, I fucking want to see it.
16:24What's with the comorant?
16:26The what?
16:27The comorant. The bird on the hat.
16:29Oh, no. That's a buberi.
16:30Is it? Fuck. It's a comorant.
16:32It's a real bird.
16:33It's not some fucking myth that lives in locks and eats otters and shit.
16:37What, there's a bird that eats otters?
16:38It's not a real one.
16:39In fact, it changes shape.
16:40Sometimes it's a giant insect that sucks the blood out of horses.
16:43Really?
16:44Yeah, really, but that's not a buberi, it's a comorant.
16:47But how do you know?
16:48Because I'm a fucking fisherman.
16:50Or was.
16:51Anyway, what's it doing on the board?
16:53Well, whatever type of bird it is, I think maybe it ate merit.
16:56What?
16:57William Lingard twice saw someone wearing that hat.
17:00Once on the boat and once at home.
17:02At home?
17:03Apparently someone was prowling around the house.
17:06Why apparently?
17:07William isn't exactly communicative, so he drew this one
17:11after he escaped from Eggly house.
17:14And this one right before she disappeared.
17:18Can you do me a favour, pal?
17:19Can you scan both sides of that and send it over to me?
17:23Okay.
17:25Inspector.
17:27Dennis Piper.
17:28I was at your press conference.
17:30Lucky you.
17:31I wondered if you'd heard the news.
17:32What news?
17:33About PC Anderson's fiancée.
17:35The officer who was killed in Leith Park.
17:37I know who the fuck he was.
17:38What about his fiancée?
17:39She had her baby today.
17:41A wee girl.
17:42Care to comment?
17:43Yeah.
17:44Fuck off.
17:45No message for her.
17:46How about an apology?
17:52She blames you, Mark.
17:55Says it should have been you who died.
17:57Well, maybe it should.
18:00Come on.
18:09Carol's not down here.
18:21I know, ma'am.
18:22He took some personal time.
18:24Of course he did.
18:26Walk me through all of this.
18:28I should probably let DCI Mark...
18:30Just walk me through it.
18:32Right.
18:33Well, along with determining her movements in the weeks before she disappeared we were trying to get a sense of who Merit Lingard was.
18:41And who was she?
18:43She was...
18:45Controversial.
18:47So basically you don't have much?
18:49Not yet.
18:50We don't.
18:51There was an incident at the Lingard house.
18:57An incident?
18:59Apparently.
19:01A young man who was squatting there with two females was admitted to hospital with a crushed windpipe.
19:07Well, that sounds painful.
19:08Knock it off.
19:09I didn't crush his windpipe.
19:11I didn't say you did.
19:12I meant I didn't crush it.
19:14I only bruised it.
19:16I could have, of course, have crushed it.
19:19But then he wouldn't have been able to talk.
19:24Where do you learn such techniques?
19:26I grew up in a very rough part of Syria.
19:28Isn't it all rough over there these days?
19:30Some of it is very beautiful.
19:34You understand that you're not in Syria?
19:36You're not a policeman?
19:37Yes, ma'am.
19:38You're here to assist Carol.
19:41And...
19:42It's a real pleasure.
19:43Because if anything should happen while you're out there playing policemen, bruising but not crushing people's necks,
19:50they'd be hell to pay.
19:52For all of us.
19:54Of course, ma'am. I understand.
19:56Good.
19:57Keep me informed.
20:08Fucking hell.
20:09Don't know who's doing your PR, but I'd be asking for a refund.
20:19Here we go.
20:20Some good surgeons here.
20:22Reckon one of them could sew your mouth shut.
20:24Tell you what.
20:25How about instead, Carl, you fucking legend.
20:28Thank you, thank you, thank you for my brand spanking new fucking computer.
20:32Hey, anything for you, Hardy.
20:34You're welcome.
20:35It's interesting how you got Rose to deliver it.
20:37Well, she's in a funk and you two are thick as thieves.
20:39Well, she's only in a funk because you're a cunt.
20:41Well, I'm sure there's meds for that.
20:43And I'm in the right place.
20:44She just wants to impress you.
20:45Unlikely.
20:46Maybe fake it once in a while.
20:48Well, you were always better at that than me.
20:49I was always better at everything.
20:51Right, first of all, this is a comorant.
20:58Okay, I'll take your word for it.
21:00So what do we make of it?
21:01We think it's a logo.
21:02Oh, no shit, Sherlock.
21:03For whom?
21:04That it's turned out.
21:06For me neither.
21:07Oh, what a relief it is to know that you're checking on my work.
21:12More like doing it.
21:13I have a motive as to why someone might have taken her.
21:16Yeah, she and Sam Haig were poking the wrong bear.
21:18Different motive.
21:21Hit me.
21:22It's the universal motive for all crime throughout human history.
21:26Love.
21:27Money.
21:28Go back to your birds.
21:29Because that family were broke.
21:30Jamie Lingard was broke.
21:32Lila Lingard, near Lila Graham, was rich.
21:35Her family had money.
21:36Money that came from where?
21:38Centuries of dead relatives.
21:39This is Britain after all.
21:40Okay, I gather that you traced the card that she paid for the hotel room with.
21:44You gather correctly.
21:46And?
21:47It's linked to our trust account in the Channel Islands bank on Jersey.
21:50Where sadly the trail, much like the money off the wealthy cunts that live there, vanished.
21:55Okay, well that's your brilliant motive is that someone took merit in order to somehow steal her money.
22:00Wicked Watson.
22:02Good morning James.
22:03Dr. Lee, is it Wednesday already?
22:06No.
22:07But your most recent MRI was so promising I thought I'd add a session.
22:10Shite.
22:11Do you like lying in bed all day?
22:13Yeah, he loves it.
22:14All of his favourite things happen in there.
22:15Who are you?
22:16And what are you doing here interrupting my session?
22:18Carl, my ex-partner.
22:19Didn't know you were gay.
22:20Police.
22:21You should have said partner in the police then, yes?
22:24These days you have to help people parse these sorts of things.
22:28What's the deal with the rehab by the way?
22:30I thought the doctor said that he was as far along as he's going to get.
22:32Well, aren't you just a ray of bloody sunshine?
22:35I too am a doctor.
22:36And as I told James last month, his other doctor doesn't know him as well as I do.
22:41And therefore doesn't know that he may, in fact, be able to walk again.
22:46Me?
22:47Depends on how well James continues to heal, which so far has been encouraging.
22:51So far.
22:52And how long has this been going on?
22:53Not that long.
22:54I like to start recessing within days of surgery.
22:57Days?
22:58Oh, okay.
22:59One waits too long and the body forgets itself.
23:02These four months of rehab have been productive for James.
23:05When Dr. Lou says rehab, what she really means is watching me fall over and me cursing her
23:10every fucking day.
23:11I don't laugh and you don't curse or you know what happens.
23:15Aye.
23:16Progress.
23:17You can feel that, yeah?
23:19Maybe.
23:20You can leave.
23:22Yeah.
23:24Cheer the bye, Will.
23:26Feel free to beat the shit out of it.
23:29Carl.
23:30Moira wants to see you.
23:31Mm-hmm.
23:32Did you hear what I just said?
23:33Yeah.
23:34I actually saw me.
23:36So, it's very often the most boring, insignificant detail that leads to a solution, the mundane, or a break from the mundane.
23:46But four years gone, it's difficult to reconstruct the small details of a person's life, so we gravitate towards the events right before the crime.
24:05But in this case, we need to look further back.
24:10For fuck's sake, Carl.
24:11Save the lecture on criminology.
24:12You're starting to make sleep here.
24:13Get to the fucking point.
24:14Merit's money.
24:15It's called being a mentor.
24:16You're doing a bang-up job.
24:17Okay.
24:18What does everyone think about Hardy's merit-had-money theory?
24:19We know she had the trust fund.
24:20Well, we know she was drawing money from the trust well up until she disappeared, yeah.
24:33But we don't know what happens if Merit dies.
24:35But we can guess it all goes to William.
24:37A lot of fucking guessing going on.
24:39You're not helping.
24:40And could you sit up, for Christ's sake?
24:42You look like a fucking severed head.
24:44Are you still a wee bit upset that I didn't tell you about my rehab?
24:47I wasn't upset.
24:48Looked to me like you were going to cry again.
24:50Oh, fuck off.
24:51You could have said something.
24:52I had an enema this morning.
24:53Should I have told you that?
24:54Yeah, because it would have cheered me up.
24:56The troll thinks that you can walk.
24:59She thinks maybe I can move.
25:00There's a wee difference.
25:01Still, it would have been nice to have known.
25:04If William couldn't manage the trust, then who would?
25:08It would have been managed by his legal guardian.
25:14She told you she was his legal guardian?
25:16She did.
25:17Wait.
25:18Who's she?
25:19In those exact words.
25:20In those exact words.
25:21Wait.
25:22Where are we going?
25:23Who the fuck is she?
25:24I'll tell you in the car.
25:25Did I win?
25:27Hello?
25:28Alice.
25:29Come on in.
25:31Make yourself comfortable.
25:32It won't be long.
25:33You have cobwebs?
25:34Technically they're not mine.
25:35A spider could drop from the ceiling onto one of your patients.
25:37Potentially.
25:38I've always heard they're good luck, even when they're crawling around in your hair.
25:40No, I don't think that's true.
25:41So, I assume you've seen the paper.
25:42I tried to warn you.
25:43Aren't you supposed to be helping him?
25:44The man has to be here for me to help him.
25:45What do you mean?
25:46He was a no-show yesterday.
25:47Oh, Jesus.
25:48Look, I'd love to just rubber stamp him and send him on his merry way, but if something
26:15I'll get blamed for cutting him loose.
26:17He's already loose.
26:18That's on you, not me.
26:20It was a good-ish idea keeping him locked in the basement,
26:22cos letting him out in public with all that anger, I mean...
26:25He's already assaulted a journalist.
26:28That was more of a shove.
26:30What happens when he shoves a suspect?
26:32Or a colleague?
26:34What if he turns on himself?
26:36Carol's a lot of things, but he'd never do anything like that.
26:39You sure about that?
26:40Cos you're relying on this loophole
26:42about cold cases not being active duty, but...
26:46It's sort of bitten you in the bum, I bet, hasn't it?
26:52Maybe it's a personality clash.
26:56How do you mean?
26:57Him not coming.
26:59After all, not every therapist is right for every patient.
27:03That's very true.
27:04So it's possible that Carol might respond better
27:07to a different therapist?
27:09He might.
27:16I'd suggest you shop around.
27:18See who he clicks with.
27:20I mean...
27:21Knowing Carl, I'm sure he'd love to go on that journey of discovery with you.
27:24I'm just trying to be pragmatic.
27:26Not my circus, not my monkeys.
27:28As they say.
27:30Tell him I said daddy bye.
27:32I know who you are.
27:33Excuse me, you can't go up there.
27:34Let them do their job, please.
27:35Buzz, Dr. Wallace.
27:37I don't believe we have an appointment.
27:38No, we don't.
27:39You might want to close the door, Doc.
27:40Are you going to tell me what this intrusion is about?
27:41Sit down.
27:42Please.
27:43Please.
27:44Why do you allow me to do that?
27:45I don't believe we have an appointment.
27:46No, we don't.
27:47You might want to close the door, Doc.
27:48Are you going to tell me what this intrusion is about?
27:49Sit down.
27:50Please.
27:51Why do you allow William Lingard to stay here gratis?
27:52I don't allow him anything.
27:53His life is a good thing.
27:54I don't know.
27:55I'm going to go back to Wallace.
27:56I'm going to go back to Wallace.
27:57I don't believe we have an appointment.
27:58I don't believe we have an appointment.
27:59No, we don't.
28:00You might want to close the door, Doc.
28:01Are you going to tell me what this intrusion is about?
28:02Sit down.
28:03Please.
28:04Why do you allow William Lingard to stay here gratis?
28:17I don't allow him anything.
28:18It's an arrangement whereby he gets a home and I get to observe his condition in more conducive
28:23surroundings.
28:24And by conducive, you mean comfortable?
28:26Certainly.
28:27No one flourishes in a warehouse, which is what most of our institutions are.
28:32William?
28:38He must have collated an awful lot of data over the four years since he's been here.
28:42Quite a bit, yes.
28:43I hasten to add that William's condition has improved significantly as well.
28:47Well, last time you said his condition was deteriorating.
28:50I think you may have misheard me.
28:53Sam Moritz.
28:54Nice.
29:03William.
29:04You said you had the power to prevent me talking to William on the grounds that you were his legal guardian.
29:09That's true.
29:10I am.
29:11What does that mean exactly?
29:12It means, simply put, that I make all the decisions that affect his life.
29:16Well, such as how best to, um, allocate his finances.
29:20I'm not sure I follow you.
29:22And I'm sure you do.
29:25That I'm not sure I like what you're implying.
29:27And what's that, do you think?
29:28That I'm somehow stealing money from one of my patients, which is absurd.
29:33It's a very nice piece.
29:35What's happening in here?
29:36This man is not well.
29:37You need to leave now.
29:38Please, we're here to check on him.
29:40I don't care.
29:41Neither of you can be up here without permission.
29:42What is wrong with him?
29:44Fucking hell.
29:46As legal guardian, even one with power of attorney, I'm only allowed to contact the trustee.
29:51And I have no reason to be, because I provide for every aspect of William's care.
29:55Yeah, except the trustee in this case has been missing for four years.
29:58Which is why the bank appointed a lawyer to act as the trustee.
30:03Yeah, the Bank of Jersey.
30:07Wherever it may be, yes.
30:09Rose, help me.
30:10Absolutely not.
30:12I was not asking you for permission.
30:15Listen, my friend.
30:16It's best you step aside.
30:23Right.
30:24Let's turn him over.
30:25Okay.
30:26Careful.
30:27Say I search this office.
30:29I mean, what do you think the chances are?
30:33It might be a cheque book and or bank card in William Lingard's name.
30:37Zero chance.
30:39Because you're not going to search this office,
30:41not without a warrant.
30:42That's a funny old answer.
30:44Meaning?
30:45Meaning?
30:46You could have just said zero and left it at that.
30:49As someone with power of attorney, I'm entitled to holding those documents.
30:52Yeah, but you told me you pay for William's care in exchange for the vast knowledge that he's giving you.
30:58I'm merely making a point that there are rules.
31:00If I were withdrawing money from William's trust, I would need to account for every expense.
31:04Yeah, such as the annual service on a 2024 Mercedes SLC 250D.
31:11Anything like that would trigger an immediate audit.
31:14But go ahead, have your fun.
31:16With no family to complain, not much chance of anybody noticing.
31:20There's a large chance of the bank noticing.
31:22There are systems in place that alert them any time anyone goes over the allotted distribution limit.
31:27How many of your patients are only children from old money?
31:31Okay, you can leave now.
31:33You're being worse than impertinent, you're being scurrilous.
31:35How do you think it's going to sound to a prosecutor when they hear that not long after Merrick Lingard disappeared,
31:41you showed up, whisked her brother away and then started spending his money?
31:45Get out.
31:46And when the fine folk in your world find out?
31:49Oh, fuck me.
31:52You're done.
31:54I'm done?
31:56Mm-hmm.
31:57Do you have any idea who I know in your world?
31:59Uh, no.
32:01And I don't give a shit.
32:03So you can save this righteous indignation for your trial.
32:08Okay?
32:12You've got him drugged.
32:14He's fine.
32:15He's just been sedated.
32:16What for? For what?
32:17Sometimes if he's agitated, we give him a small dose of Thorazine or Haldol.
32:21Sometimes.
32:22Or right before we turned out.
32:23How many of your other patients have you got doped up?
32:25They all are.
32:27Fuck.
32:30Where's William?
32:32Get him in the car.
32:33I don't think you have the authority.
32:34Uh, no.
32:36No.
32:37You're in enough trouble.
32:41I don't think you planned it.
32:43Well, I guess it was probably one of those things that just evolved as you looked after William.
32:46One of those things that, once you started, once you got a taste for just how easy it was to get that money, you couldn't stop.
32:53And then, like most imbezzlers, you sleep like a fucking baby at night.
32:58By telling yourself you earned it.
33:00I'd like to speak to my lawyer.
33:10I'd like to speak to my lawyer.
33:11I cannot stress to you how much I don't want to regret this.
33:26Okay?
33:27Now, didn't pack anything.
33:29She's going to need a toothbrush and a...
33:31I'm just...
33:32I'm just...
33:33I'm just...
33:34Jasper!
33:54Jasper!
33:56SIREN
34:02Was that Jasper I just saw?
34:04It was.
34:05Said he needed to pick up a few essentials,
34:07but the only essential I saw him take was a bong.
34:09Why didn't you ask him to wait for me?
34:11Well, because you asked me repeatedly to mind my own fucking business.
34:14Not when you can see there's a hand grenade about to go off.
34:17Well, fear not, the flat did not explode.
34:20I was talking about Jasper.
34:21I got the metaphor.
34:23Bad day at the office.
34:25Fuck off.
34:26Go on, stick your choo-choo's back on.
34:28Wait.
34:29I live here too.
34:30As if I need reminding.
34:32I'm allowed to be concerned.
34:33And I'm allowed not to care.
34:34You need to get a grip.
34:36Deal with some stuff.
34:37You can't keep putting things off.
34:38Oh, says the man is in his fucking eighth year of a PhD on Wittgenstein.
34:41It's Kierkegaard, you arse.
34:44Do you never listen?
34:45Well, maybe you should.
34:46Because one of Soren's big themes is why we get up in the morning.
34:49A specific one.
34:50Just for us.
34:51Our own truth.
34:52Do you want to know mine?
34:54Not remotely.
34:55I love my life.
34:57Got my studies.
34:58Bit of work.
34:59Friends.
35:00Hobbies.
35:01How about you?
35:02If you've got friends and hobbies, why the fuck are you always here?
35:06I do.
35:07Love one, thanks.
35:11Good throat arsehole.
35:12And for your information, I've been going to a life drawing class.
35:16Even met a lovely woman there.
35:18Portuguese.
35:19Or maybe Brazilian.
35:21We've been flirting.
35:22Well, I've been flirting.
35:23Her English isn't very good still.
35:25Point is, I think you need to find your own truth, Carol.
35:29For everybody's sake, but mainly mine.
35:32Finished?
35:33I think I preferred it when you were quoting Yoko.
35:38Piss off, Carol.
35:39Think about what I said.
35:41Oh, Jesus.
35:43Don't fall asleep on the couch.
35:45You'll only wake up more depressed.
35:46What are you off to?
36:01The laundry.
36:02Need to get there before it closes.
36:04You can do your laundry in your own fucking town.
36:06There's actual police work to be done.
36:08It's not my laundry, Carl.
36:10It's Merit's.
36:11I'm doing what you told me to do.
36:13I'm looking at the boring and the mundane.
36:15Meaning what, exactly?
36:17You'll think it's stupid.
36:18Oh, I'm sure I will.
36:20But tell me anyway, or I'll give you the boot
36:23and you can resume your prior role as Mary Andrew
36:26to the cunts upstairs.
36:28Jesus, Carl.
36:29You can't just say things like that.
36:30What, Mary Andrew?
36:31No, cunt.
36:32You want to use it at the pub, that's fine,
36:34but you can't just band-aid about at work.
36:36There's rules about that kind of thing.
36:37Well, if it's good enough for Chaucer.
36:39Oh, except this isn't Old England,
36:40and you're not fucking Beowulf.
36:42Beowulf?
36:43Talks about the Canterbury Tale.
36:45This was...
36:46Just tell me, wife of Bath.
36:48I went again through all of Merit's receipts
36:50and credit card statements,
36:52but this time I went back for a year
36:54and I saw a pattern.
36:55Or a kind of one.
36:57All of the shops that she went to were close to the crime offices,
37:00which makes sense when you think about it,
37:01because there's not much in the way of shops out
37:03where she and William were living.
37:04So it made sense that after work she'd do the shopping
37:07or whatever errands before she went home.
37:09But stood out to me there was one place that she went to.
37:12A laundry near the cow gate
37:14that wasn't really near the crown offices.
37:16And at first I thought, hmm, that's not so weird.
37:18A woman like Merit would be particular about where she took her clothes
37:21because they were so nice.
37:22You know, she'd have her trusted place
37:24where they know how to look after nice things.
37:26But this place wasn't that type of place.
37:29And she only went there once, as far as I can tell,
37:31whereas she went lots of times to a posh place
37:33near the offices in Murchison.
37:35And the statements show that she'd been going there for years.
37:37So what was she doing at this other place?
37:39Oh, and I forgot to say,
37:40it was only a week before she disappeared.
37:52Take Akram with you.
37:56Tchoo!
37:58Tchoo!
38:26Tchoo!
38:27Tchoo!
38:30Erm, I'm DC Dixon.
38:32This is DC Saleem.
38:34Are you the proprietor?
38:36Aye.
38:37Are you Shirley Atkins?
38:38What is this about?
38:40I have a receipt from four years ago.
38:43I was wondering if you might be able to tell me something about the customer.
38:47I'll have a look, but I doubt I could help.
38:49And I don't even keep records for that long.
38:51What is this?
38:54You know bloody well I know who this is.
38:56I'm sorry, I...
38:57Do you honestly think I would help you look for this bitch?
38:59After what she did to my Kirsty?
39:04You knew Merit?
39:05I wish I never fucking met her.
39:06She was a customer?
39:07Oh, she was never a customer.
39:08She came here to apologise to me and Keith,
39:10but lost her fucking nerve.
39:12Danny, Kirsty's brother, was working that day.
39:14She took one look at him,
39:16and pretended that her coat needed dry cleaning.
39:18And got the hell out.
39:20You say she left her coat with you.
39:22Have you still got it?
39:24Are you kidding?
39:25I fucking burnt it.
39:26What was she apologising for?
39:28Why don't you go ask my daughter?
39:30Kirsty, you said her name was.
39:32Erm, where can I find her?
39:34Inside Pentland's.
39:36The prison?
39:37Where they put her after Merit Lingard nearly got her killed and socked in.
39:41PC Mark Gilbey.
40:00You remember him?
40:02Should I?
40:04My first partner.
40:06He was on call.
40:08A disturbance outside a pub.
40:11It looked like nothing until there was a knife.
40:15Then Mark was on the ground in a pool of blood.
40:18He survived, but...
40:21He left the job.
40:23I'm not sure what would have done different,
40:27but I felt guilty all the same.
40:29Still do.
40:31But I've never wished it had been me.
40:36I didn't say that.
40:37Not exactly.
40:40He kinda did.
40:46You alright, Carol?
40:48Seems to be a matter of opinion.
40:50Yeah, well, I had no shortage of them today.
40:53There's a few people around here who worry.
40:55I'm fine.
40:56Not about you.
40:57About their reputations.
40:59It was a...
41:00Janus looking for a story.
41:02I overreacted.
41:04They want you stood down.
41:06I thought that was your shout.
41:08It is.
41:09Which puts me in the firing line for any further disasters.
41:13You're not actually letting them get to you, eh?
41:15Don't presume, Carol.
41:18We go back, but right now, that's an argument for listening to those opinions rather than ignoring them.
41:24You put me in that fucking basement for a reason.
41:28Yes.
41:29I'd like you to do your thing quietly without bothering me.
41:32Out of sight.
41:33Out of mind.
41:34Why I do someone else's dirty work, yeah?
41:36What dirty work exactly is that?
41:39Why did you assign Merit Lingard's case to Fergus Dunbar, hmm?
41:44I would imagine on the account of him being up next.
41:48Why'd you ask?
41:49You said yourself it was high profile.
41:51Had all the earmarks that your bettors get all tingly about.
41:54That calls for someone good, doesn't it?
41:56Fergus ran a solid investigation.
41:58If it was so solid, why'd you pull him?
42:00Because there were no more leads.
42:01It all went cold and I needed him elsewhere.
42:03Elsewhere?
42:04Hmm.
42:05Out of the building?
42:06That was his choice, not mine.
42:09I liked Fergus.
42:10Just like that.
42:11Everybody forgot about Merit Lingard.
42:13Not everyone.
42:15So what then?
42:16Phone call?
42:17Middle of the night?
42:18Someone tell you to shut it down?
42:22I'm the first woman ever to do this job.
42:25And that's important to me, yes.
42:27But it's also important for anyone who comes after me.
42:31So what, you're saying that you went along with it so you didn't jeopardise your important fucking position?
42:35That's not what I'm saying at all.
42:37I'm no fucking coward.
42:38I push when I have to push.
42:41And you fucking well know that too.
42:43Need I remind you?
42:44No, you need not.
42:45That I have saved your bacon on more than one occasion.
42:48In here.
42:49Out there.
42:50You made a mistake back then.
42:51Bad call.
42:52Fucking whatever.
42:53And now you want me to fix it?
42:54Now I would like you to solve the case without being bounced for being fucking psycho.
43:00Is that possible?
43:01Depends.
43:02Got my back or not?
43:08If you have to ask me that, you've not been listening.
43:13For Christ's sake, stop saying drippy rubbish like it should have been me.
43:17Hi, Kirsty.
43:28I'll take a seat.
43:30Is this some kind of a stitch up?
43:33Here to fuck up my parole?
43:35No.
43:36Because I'm out in six weeks.
43:37You're a model prisoner.
43:38I fucking well am.
43:39Gonna go back to the laundry?
43:41I've had enough laundry.
43:44Getting as far away as I can.
43:46Start all over.
43:47Disappear.
43:49You're afraid?
43:51Be an idiot otherwise.
43:53Who attacked you at Socton?
43:55Now seeing as the first thing they did was stab me in the eye, I couldn't say.
43:59Merit Lingard disappeared not long after you were attacked.
44:03Aye, because I had her killed.
44:05Payback for nearly getting me killed.
44:07Really?
44:08Hired myself a hitman who followed her onto a ferry and threw her over.
44:12Well, that solves that.
44:13You're welcome.
44:14What?
44:15I've found that there are times when people want to scare someone to be quiet and there
44:25are times when they skip that part and make them quiet.
44:30Okay.
44:31I look at you and your injuries and I can see that you were not meant to be warned.
44:37You were meant to be killed.
44:39This is not new information to you.
44:41You are quite sensibly afraid.
44:43You know something.
44:45You told Merit about it in hopes of getting an early release but something happened.
44:50Fucking yes, something happened.
44:52She fucking bailed on me.
44:55What was the information?
44:58There's no way I testify in court.
45:00No way I admit to have seen anything because I won't make that promise ever again.
45:06I don't blame you.
45:07Okay.
45:08I was in a woman's refuge for a while.
45:22Before I got arrested.
45:24I met this woman.
45:29She wasn't there long but I got quite pally.
45:37She said her husband had tried to kill her.
45:39He fucking gave her a beat down.
45:41Left her with black eyes and broken ribs.
45:45He fucking broke her cheek bone.
45:52She was convinced that he'd find her at the refuge so she left.
45:56And I never saw her again or even thought of her.
46:04Until her face was all over the news.
46:06What for?
46:07That case Lingard had.
46:12The husband that killed his wife Finch.
46:16The woman was his wife.
46:19Andrea Finch.
46:20The deal was I'd testify about Andrea at the refuge and get early release.
46:31The last minute that bitch changes her mind.
46:37Saying that I couldn't testify on account of someone like me wasn't credible.
46:43Only there's word out there that I've been talking to her.
46:48So I call her.
46:52And I tell her.
46:55I'm not safe.
46:59I'm getting threats.
47:00Wait who was it?
47:01Who came for you?
47:02These two bitches.
47:04Fucking lifers.
47:05The both of them.
47:06They walk in weaving their shank saying that I must have pissed off somebody heavy.
47:10Who paid?
47:11I don't fucking know.
47:12They get a 500 quid bounce on their commissary and a name in their laundry bag.
47:16But why go after you for information that no one even knows you have?
47:19Because there's people in here that know Finch.
47:22And they know that I've talked to you so know you have to help me.
47:26What did Merit do?
47:28Where are you calling from?
47:30My cell.
47:31On a smuggled phone.
47:32What fucking difference does it make? I just told you.
47:35When I talk to you there's nothing I can do.
47:37You fucking bitch!
47:40Are you high?
47:42I'm fucking terrified.
47:45Are you high?
47:49What do you expect me to do?
47:51Oh Jesus.
47:53She hung up.
48:05What was I supposed to do?
48:06You left me hanging. You let me use trusty's evidence.
48:07She was not going to help you. She would have made it worse in fact.
48:20Herstie Atkins has been stabbed.
48:21Oh God.
48:22Oh God.
48:23Uh.
48:24How bad is it?
48:25I don't know.
48:26How bad is it?
48:27I don't know.
48:28She's alive but she's in a coma.
48:30Look, Kirstie's life has been the result of a multitude of shitty choices.
48:31None of them having anything to do with you.
48:32Well tell that to her family. I'm sure they'll find that very comforting.
48:33The first took out her eye, the other punctured her lung along the line.
48:35The first took out her eye. The other punctured her lung along the line.
48:40Or she's just been stabbed.
48:41Oh God.
48:42Err.
48:43How bad is it?
48:44I don't know.
48:45She's alive but she's in a coma.
48:46Okay.
48:47Look, Kirstie's life has been the result of a multitude of shitty choices.
48:51None of them having anything to do with you.
48:54Well tell that to her family. I'm sure they'll find that very comforting.
48:58comforting
48:59The first took out her eye the other punctured her lung along with another
49:03I missed a heart by just a few millimeters three wounds only two out of the three hit their mark while one of them was
49:10Right close if it hadn't happened in prison that I'd say that a professional did it
49:14Where do you think all the professionals are?
49:28Oh
49:38Sam Hague speaking
49:42Oh
49:45Okay, that act I'll talk
