00:00:00I love you.

00:00:30I don't know.

00:01:00Oi! Over here!

00:01:30We're not shirking, are we?

00:01:39We're not supposed to be giving you a young master of the manor.

00:01:42I hate this thing.

00:01:44I mean, every year is just so try-hard.

00:01:46Even worse, that's in the house.

00:01:47Get over it.

00:01:49It's for Dad, today.

00:01:51I know.

00:01:52Your mother wants us to join her in the vicar.

00:01:55Yeah, does she?

00:01:56Come on, darling.

00:01:57Two minutes and then I'll find a way to rescue you.

00:02:00You go, and I'll come in a second.

00:02:03Okay.

00:02:06She looks stunning today, doesn't she?

00:02:09She always does.

00:02:11Are you going to ask her?

00:02:14Mum's got a point, you know.

00:02:15You just leave it.

00:02:19For Dad.

00:02:24Ah, Krishna.

00:02:25Reverend.

00:02:26Lady Catherine was just telling me that you're a registrar.

00:02:29Yes, surgical.

00:02:31It's challenging, but I'm enjoying it.

00:02:34We're extremely proud of him.

00:02:36Good show.

00:02:36London, is it?

00:02:38Yes.

00:02:39But we're here whenever we can be.

00:02:41Especially at the moment, of course.

00:02:42Yes, a very difficult time.

00:02:44Any change?

00:02:46Well, only for the worse.

00:02:47We never give up hope.

00:02:51Felix, such a good sport.

00:02:53He is.

00:02:56They're serving cream teas, vicar.

00:02:58Would you care for one?

00:02:59Always, but I feel I should be somewhere...

00:03:02Yes.

00:03:03You're judging the cake competition in the dining room.

00:03:05That's it.

00:03:06I'll take you through.

00:03:07I should be stopping anyway.

00:03:09Such a wonderful hostess.

00:03:15Krishna, darling, I don't want to irritate you by asking again.

00:03:19Then don't.

00:03:20What a gift it would be for your father.

00:03:22This is the perfect time to propose.

00:03:26You could even ask her doing the speeches.

00:03:28Your father might even hear.

00:03:30He doesn't hear anything.

00:03:31Why would you say that?

00:03:33Mum, please.

00:03:34I just don't understand what you're waiting for.

00:03:37It's better.

00:03:38Oh, so glad you could make it.

00:03:41Shame about the weather.

00:03:43Come.

00:03:47Sal.

00:03:49Hi.

00:03:49I've sorted it.

00:03:55I could definitely get some more in a couple of days.

00:03:57Oh, that's great.

00:03:59Thanks.

00:04:00Yeah.

00:04:01Where's Ollie?

00:04:02Do you want me to mind him?

00:04:03Oh, no, don't worry.

00:04:04He's better off away from the crowd anyway, so...

00:04:07Yeah, yeah.

00:04:10Nice shoes, Sal.

00:04:11Oh, thanking you kindly, I'm sure.

00:04:13There's my little man.

00:04:25Where have you been?

00:04:26Three trays worth waiting there.

00:04:29Well, you can't force people to take them.

00:04:31Can I have one?

00:04:37No, he cannot.

00:04:39They're for the guests.

00:04:40What would Mrs. Metta say if she walked in and you were...

00:04:42I don't think she'd mind a bit.

00:04:45It's only you who treats me like a slave.

00:04:46No, I do not.

00:04:47You should have one yourself, Martha.

00:04:57Live dangerously.

00:05:05Thanks.

00:05:06Oh, actually...

00:05:10First, you won't play in the village, would you?

00:05:13Sally?

00:05:22Sally?

00:05:24Yes, miss?

00:05:25Are those my shoes?

00:05:27Oh, um...

00:05:29Yeah, I didn't think you'd mind, because they were in the bag for charity.

00:05:31For charity.

00:05:32Not for you.

00:05:33Do you like taking things that don't belong to you?

00:05:37No.

00:05:40Sorry, miss.

00:05:43Del, my pub.

00:06:11Yeah.

00:06:15You're done.

00:06:41Well done to all our winners.

00:07:03And thanks to everyone who's worked so hard to make this year's martingale fate a huge

00:07:09success, in spite of the sun staying away.

00:07:12In fact, I think this weather has been a blessing.

00:07:19It has brought our festivities even closer to Suresh.

00:07:23How he would love to be standing here beside me.

00:07:26He will so appreciate all your good wishes.

00:07:29I am grateful to have had the support of my two dear children today, Devi and Krishna.

00:07:36Krishna, did you want to say a few words?

00:07:46Come dear.

00:07:47Well, I just wanted to say thank you on behalf of my father.

00:08:02But, um, yeah, holding the fate here, it's a tradition that means, well, a lot to him.

00:08:17So, enjoy the rest of your afternoon.

00:08:25And, uh, we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

00:09:09Okay.

00:09:10Okay, little man.

00:09:12Someone's hungry?

00:09:14Can you come up for a minute, please?

00:09:24Oh, fuck.

00:09:25I must have forgotten a few dishes or something.

00:09:26Give it to me.

00:09:27What's happening?

00:09:28Chris?

00:09:29Just...

00:09:30Oh, my God.

00:09:31Oh, my God.

00:09:32Oh, my God.

00:09:33Oh, my God.

00:09:34Oh, my God.

00:09:35Oh, my God.

00:09:36Oh, my God.

00:09:37Oh, my God.

00:09:38Oh, my God.

00:09:39I'm like Daddy.

00:09:40You're not 걱정 Uma.

00:09:41Oh, my God.

00:09:43Amazing.

00:09:44I'm not spending time here at a hotel for me.

00:09:45What's happening?

00:09:46What's happening?

00:09:48Chris?

00:09:48Just...

00:09:49Just...

00:10:16All right, Lady Catherine?

00:10:19Yes, thank you.

00:10:30Seemed to go well today, didn't it?

00:10:33Yes, well done.

00:10:40I'm going to bed.

00:10:41Night, then.

00:10:43Hey.

00:11:00Such trumpets.

00:11:01Why are you betraying us?

00:11:28Me!

00:11:31I'm not saying that I'm not actually I'm not listening to you.

00:11:37It's just fun.

00:11:39I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.

00:11:41I just, I just love you so much, I love you so much.

00:11:45I don't think anything for you and I just don't understand.

00:11:49Why?

00:11:51Can you just stop it, please?

00:11:53I can't, I can't.

00:11:55I can't.

00:11:57I can't.

00:11:59Shit.

00:12:00No, I'm not listening to you.

00:12:01I'm actually, I'm not listening to you.

00:12:05I can't.

00:12:06I can't.

00:12:07I can't.

00:12:08I can't.

00:12:09I can't.

00:12:10I can't.

00:12:11I can't.

00:12:12I can't.

00:12:13I can't.

00:12:14I can't.

00:12:15I can't.

00:12:16I can't.

00:12:17What is it that?

00:12:18What is it that...

00:12:48You're me, Ollie.

00:13:05I'm going to be okay.

00:13:18How are you this morning, Martha?

00:13:26Fine, thank you, madam.

00:13:29Why doesn't she see to that child?

00:13:31I don't know.

00:13:32She's slept in again this morning.

00:13:36Quite a habit, as I've said.

00:13:40I'll go and wake her as soon as I...

00:13:41Emmy.

00:13:43Thank you, Felix.

00:13:48Sally!

00:13:56It's half past eight.

00:13:59Sally!

00:14:02What?

00:14:05Sorry, Sally, but we're coming in.

00:14:12Christ.

00:14:18Here you are, Roscoe, sir.

00:14:43East Essex, Felix.

00:14:45Good to meet you.

00:14:46And you.

00:14:47I hope I'm not wasting your time, sir.

00:14:49But with it being Suresh Matter's house,

00:14:52I thought I'd better call it in.

00:14:58Sally Jump.

00:14:59Housemaid.

00:15:00Family say she was in good health.

00:15:03Yeah.

00:15:05That's what made me wonder.

00:15:06Coco, apparently.

00:15:08Housekeeper says she took one to bed with her most nights.

00:15:11There's no tin.

00:15:12I've got someone searching the bin.

00:15:14If she died in a sleep, say, on her own,

00:15:17how does that end up on the floor?

00:15:19There's no sign of a suicide note.

00:15:24That's a child.

00:15:26Eleven months old.

00:15:28Found this cot.

00:15:30It's with a WPC.

00:15:34Family think that's the only large window that was open last night.

00:15:37A difficult climb, but not impossible.

00:15:39Not for someone fit.

00:15:43Tell me about the intruder last year.

00:15:45He was Indian, is that right?

00:15:46Yeah.

00:15:47I worked the case.

00:15:49Well, he broke into the house at night

00:15:51and found his way into the bedroom.

00:15:53Seems there's some ill will against Meta in the Asian community

00:15:55after he backed the new Immigration Act,

00:15:58part of his advisor in the Home Office.

00:16:00Housekeeper managed to call us.

00:16:02He ran off before we arrived.

00:16:03But, um, thinking, you know,

00:16:09where there's one intruder,

00:16:10there could be more.

00:16:12The girl wakes up,

00:16:14new mum, light sleeper.

00:16:16The intruder

00:16:17puts her hand over her face

00:16:19or

00:16:19smothers her,

00:16:21maybe.

00:16:21Maybe.

00:16:21Who found Miss Chubb's body?

00:16:30That was me.

00:16:32Felix Han.

00:16:33I'm a

00:16:33friend of the family.

00:16:35Felix served with my late husband.

00:16:37We were having breakfast

00:16:38and we could hear the baby crying,

00:16:40so I went up.

00:16:40She didn't answer the door

00:16:43and I knocked,

00:16:44so

00:16:44Krish came out of his room

00:16:47and we went in together.

00:16:50You went to breakfast?

00:16:53I went to the pub

00:16:54last night

00:16:55and so I slept late.

00:16:59Did you touch anything in the room?

00:17:01Only the door, I think.

00:17:02Obviously.

00:17:04And I did cover her up.

00:17:07I covered her face.

00:17:09Sorry, if

00:17:09it didn't seem right

00:17:12her lying there like that.

00:17:14Especially with the baby.

00:17:16How could she have died?

00:17:18She was perfectly well yesterday.

00:17:20We're treating it

00:17:21as a suspicious death

00:17:22pending the post-mortem.

00:17:25You mean she was murdered?

00:17:27We don't know yet.

00:17:28Did someone get in?

00:17:28Because the window

00:17:29was wide open when Krish...

00:17:30You're looking into it.

00:17:31I gather none of you

00:17:32has been able to help us

00:17:33with her next of kin.

00:17:34She said she had no family

00:17:35when I interviewed her

00:17:36for the position.

00:17:38We actually knew

00:17:39nothing about her.

00:17:54It's an acute

00:17:55respiratory distress syndrome.

00:17:57We, uh...

00:17:58We don't expect him to survive.

00:18:00We'll work as quietly

00:18:01as we can.

00:18:02Mrs. Messick,

00:18:03can I ask if there's been

00:18:04any threats against

00:18:05your husband recently?

00:18:06Recently long?

00:18:07No.

00:18:08Um, there have been

00:18:09some reports

00:18:10in the local newspapers

00:18:11about his illness,

00:18:13but, uh,

00:18:13all the letters we've received

00:18:15have been from well-wishers.

00:18:19You think someone

00:18:20was trying to harm my husband?

00:18:22It's something

00:18:22we're keen to rule out.

00:18:25So in all the, what,

00:18:26eight months

00:18:27that she worked here,

00:18:27she never said a word

00:18:28about family

00:18:29or where she's from?

00:18:32What about the baby's father?

00:18:34Did you ever imagine him?

00:18:36Did he ever come here?

00:18:37Yeah, I don't know

00:18:37who he was.

00:18:40She'd go out locally.

00:18:43On a day's off,

00:18:44she'd disappear for the whole day,

00:18:45not get back till late.

00:18:47I don't think she was

00:18:48from far afield,

00:18:49not from her accent.

00:18:50And yesterday,

00:18:51how did you see?

00:18:53Fine.

00:18:54We were busy

00:18:54because of the fate, but...

00:18:56Which was moved indoors?

00:18:57Yes.

00:18:59So people were

00:19:00all over the house?

00:19:03Well, upstairs,

00:19:03that's not allowed.

00:19:05They're not in here.

00:19:06Could someone have

00:19:07hidden in the house?

00:19:08No.

00:19:09No.

00:19:10Last night,

00:19:11was it you who locked up?

00:19:12Yes, I locked everything.

00:19:15Krishna,

00:19:16he's got his own key,

00:19:16will have come in

00:19:17the back door later

00:19:18and locked it again.

00:19:19He sometimes goes out

00:19:21for a cigarette or...

00:19:24It was locked

00:19:26when I came down

00:19:26this morning.

00:19:27And you last saw Sally?

00:19:29Er,

00:19:29around nine o'clock,

00:19:30I'd say.

00:19:31Before or after

00:19:32you locked up?

00:19:33Before.

00:19:35I locked up quite early

00:19:37and went to bed.

00:19:38So at some point,

00:19:39she would have come in here

00:19:39and made herself

00:19:41some cocoa?

00:19:44Did anyone else

00:19:45use the cocoa?

00:19:48No.

00:19:49No,

00:19:50and you bought it

00:19:50for her.

00:19:53The tin?

00:19:55Found it.

00:19:55I mean,

00:19:56she must have

00:19:57finished it off.

00:19:58What'll happen

00:19:58to little Oliver?

00:20:02Social services.

00:20:03Nothing at all

00:20:14out of the ordinary.

00:20:16We were all tired

00:20:16after the fate,

00:20:17so...

00:20:19I think Sally

00:20:20helped her dinner.

00:20:21Yes,

00:20:22she did.

00:20:24And I didn't see her

00:20:25again after that.

00:20:27I went to bed early,

00:20:28around half past nine.

00:20:30Would that be

00:20:30to your own room,

00:20:31or...?

00:20:32Yes.

00:20:35Krishna and I

00:20:35are courting,

00:20:37but...

00:20:37Well, I have

00:20:40my own room here.

00:20:42I think of it

00:20:42as my own.

00:20:43I've been coming

00:20:43here for so long.

00:20:46And you heard

00:20:47nothing at all

00:20:48out of the ordinary?

00:20:49No.

00:20:49I don't suppose

00:20:53Krishna could go

00:20:54back to work now.

00:20:55I know he's

00:20:55fretting about

00:20:56his patience,

00:20:56but he's too

00:20:57polite to say

00:20:58anything.

00:20:59I'll speak to him.

00:21:01But I do want

00:21:02everyone to remain

00:21:02here for the time

00:21:03being.

00:21:04Understood.

00:21:06Thanks.

00:21:07That's all of them

00:21:20then.

00:21:21Normal evening,

00:21:22and none of them

00:21:22heard a thing.

00:21:24An intruder

00:21:25comes to the house

00:21:25looking for Suresh

00:21:26Metta.

00:21:27The only open

00:21:28window is Sally's.

00:21:28They climb the

00:21:29drainpipe and get

00:21:30in.

00:21:32Surely they must

00:21:32have suspected

00:21:33that they'd find

00:21:34themselves in

00:21:34someone else's room.

00:21:35It could have

00:21:36been a shock.

00:21:37That she woke

00:21:38up.

00:21:38Or maybe the

00:21:39kid cried out.

00:21:40But why kill

00:21:41her?

00:21:42Why not silence

00:21:43her in some way?

00:21:44Knock her out,

00:21:45gag her?

00:21:46Then go on to

00:21:47Metta's room.

00:21:48Panic?

00:21:53Priority, we

00:21:53find out more

00:21:54about it.

00:23:35How long have you been widowed, Mrs Langridge?

00:23:40Nearly three years.

00:23:43Why?

00:23:46Do you mind explaining to me the exact nature of your relationship with Felix Hearn?

00:23:50We're friends.

00:23:52With occasional benefits.

00:23:54He was wonderful when Jerry died, still is.

00:23:57So if you're asking me if he might have been sleeping with the hired help, then no.

00:24:04There's something I think you should know.

00:24:06Since Sally started working here, things have been going missing.

00:24:10Valuable items.

00:24:12Gold bracelets of my mother's.

00:24:14A solid gold fountain pen.

00:24:16A figurine my father brought with him from India.

00:24:19Need to report this to the police.

00:24:21Mother didn't want to, and it's her house, so...

00:24:24She's very defensive about Sally.

00:24:27In what way?

00:24:29She sees her as one of her charity projects.

00:24:33Giving her the job in the first place.

00:24:35Admittedly, Sally was the only one to answer the advert.

00:24:39In spite of mass unemployment, it seems not many in Essex want to work for people who look like us.

00:24:47But to give the job to an unmarried mother.

00:24:51How is she supposed to do her work?

00:25:08Hello?

00:25:08Hello, this is Commander Del Glees of the Metropolitan Police.

00:25:12Who am I speaking to you, please?

00:25:15How did you get this number?

00:25:19Get your hands off me!

00:25:21Let me lay down in a basement.

00:25:23Let me lay down in a basement.

00:25:27Best if I did this one of her.

00:25:29Sure.

00:25:29We put stickers on the back of doors in women's loos.

00:25:40Pubs.

00:25:41Clubs.

00:25:42Should have seen the number there.

00:25:43Copied it down.

00:25:47What's happened to her?

00:25:49I think I know what you're going to say.

00:25:50I'm afraid she's dead.

00:25:56And we think it's unlikely she died of natural causes.

00:26:03Was it a violent death?

00:26:04She wasn't beaten or sexually assaulted.

00:26:15She was a live wire.

00:26:17She was great.

00:26:23She came to the refuge when she was about five months pregnant.

00:26:26She had bruises on her arms and a black eye.

00:26:29I took her to the hospital myself when she went into labour.

00:26:33She was brave.

00:26:34She...

00:26:35She was crazy about Oliver.

00:26:37Instant love.

00:26:42Did she ever say who was hurting her?

00:26:45Who she was escaping from?

00:26:46No.

00:26:47We don't question the women who come to us.

00:26:49We're not the police.

00:26:50Not the police would be interested anyway.

00:26:52Domestic.

00:26:58I always assumed it was the baby's father, given the timing,

00:27:01but she didn't say that.

00:27:02Did he ever manage to find her, make contact?

00:27:06No.

00:27:07Our location is secret, properly secret.

00:27:11We're extremely keen to find Sally's next of kin, Ms Rice.

00:27:14No idea.

00:27:20But I could ask around.

00:27:23We've got a couple of women with us who were there when Sally was.

00:27:32In this report from the lab,

00:27:40traces of benzodiazepine in the mug,

00:27:42a sleeping drug.

00:27:44They think it's a brand called dimeratol.

00:27:46And here's the crunch.

00:27:47It's also in the tin.

00:27:57Sorry, dear.

00:27:58I don't understand.

00:28:07We keep it in here.

00:28:08Packet of dimeratol, it shouldn't be here.

00:28:11Did you forget to put it back?

00:28:12No, I was put it back.

00:28:14You don't keep the box locked?

00:28:16No, I would be.

00:28:18Why are you asking about this?

00:28:19Who else would know it was kept here?

00:28:22Martha.

00:28:24Devi.

00:28:24Did you ever suspect that Sally might be taking dimeratol,

00:28:28using it to help her sleep?

00:28:29And why would she do that?

00:28:31I know that Martha's complained about her sleeping in sometimes.

00:28:34There is no way she would do anything like that.

00:28:36She wouldn't risk not waking up for Ollie.

00:28:41There'll be a marked police car stationed outside tonight to reassure you.

00:28:44Please keep all doors and windows locked.

00:28:46Will we be able to leave tomorrow?

00:28:47We have jobs to go back to.

00:28:48This is now a murder investigation.

00:28:51But if you think she took a sleeping drug...

00:28:53I'll need to speak to you all again tomorrow.

00:28:55I'll need to speak to you all again tomorrow.

00:29:23See you all again tomorrow.

00:29:24You may not be able to talk to you all again tomorrow.

00:29:37Bye.

00:29:45Bye.

00:30:16Right, there's a low concentration of benzodiazepine in her stomach.

00:30:35That's the active ingredient in most sleeping meds, including your dimeratol.

00:30:39We can test for an exact match.

00:30:41Low concentration?

00:30:42Yes, enough to make her drowsy.

00:30:43Nowhere near enough to kill her.

00:30:45Cause of death, suffocation.

00:30:48There are petechial hemorrhages in both lungs, signs of obstruction in her larynx.

00:30:53Christ.

00:30:53We found two small fibres, white cotton, in her left nostril,

00:30:58and there were three on the inside of her mouth.

00:31:01So someone drugged her, knew she'd be sleeping deeply,

00:31:04then goes back in and suffocates her with a pillow?

00:31:08A pillow would certainly work.

00:31:13I'm not all in front of her kid.

00:31:23Keep cause of death to ourselves for now.

00:31:25Need to know only.

00:31:26Understood, sir.

00:31:27Message, sir.

00:31:28Miss Rice.

00:31:38Commander Dalgrish.

00:31:40Someone here remembers Sally talking about living with an auntie and uncle.

00:31:44Somewhere around Basildon.

00:31:45The auntie was called Simone.

00:31:49She remembered it because it was unusual.

00:31:52She can't remember the uncle's name,

00:31:53but she thinks he was a roofer or a builder.

00:31:58I might give you a chance.

00:32:00Mrs Simone Proctor?

00:32:06Yes?

00:32:07We were with the police.

00:32:12She was my sister's girl.

00:32:15Olivia's girl.

00:32:19My sister and her husband died in a car crash.

00:32:22I'm telling you, it was four.

00:32:24We took her in.

00:32:25That's kind, yeah?

00:32:32When did you last see her?

00:32:35Well, over a year.

00:32:37Eighteen months.

00:32:39She would have been pregnant at that time.

00:32:41Did you know that?

00:32:44We're not here to judge.

00:32:47I thought you might have been.

00:32:51She had a little boy.

00:32:54Oliver.

00:32:55Social services will want to speak to you as soon as possible.

00:33:00I can't have him here.

00:33:01I can't.

00:33:03Malcolm wouldn't.

00:33:05Malcolm?

00:33:06Is that your husband, is it?

00:33:10Do you have any idea who the child's father is?

00:33:16Sally went to a women's refuge.

00:33:19She had bruises of black eye.

00:33:22Any idea how she might have come by those?

00:33:24No.

00:33:28She went at around the time her pregnancy started to show.

00:33:32Can you think of any reason for that?

00:33:42We'll send an officer to collect you.

00:33:44I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to identify Sally's body.

00:33:48Oh, no.

00:33:51I don't think I can bet.

00:33:52We could ask your husband.

00:33:54Is he at work?

00:33:55We can send someone to phone.

00:33:56No.

00:33:58No.

00:33:59I'll go.

00:34:02I'll go and see you.

00:34:03She's scared of the husband.

00:34:12Perhaps Sally was too.

00:34:15I think I know why.

00:34:16Sorry, I didn't put it together until I heard his name, Malcolm Proctor.

00:34:24This isn't my patch, but I think I know who he is.

00:34:27He's National Front.

00:34:28I'd rather say this now.

00:34:32A couple of my brothers are involved in that stuff.

00:34:35I'm not.

00:34:36I never have been.

00:34:37But, yeah.

00:34:40I've heard them talk about him.

00:34:42I reckon he's a nasty piece of work.

00:34:44Oh, damn.

00:34:56Watch at that.

00:34:57Twelve minutes away from that location.

00:34:59Over.

00:35:03Oi!

00:35:04Oi!

00:35:04Hey, listen up!

00:35:05Come on!

00:35:06Hey, listen up!

00:35:07Come on, break it up, break it up, break it up, break it up, break it up, break it up, break it up.

00:35:09All right, all right, look.

00:35:10He was in the garden.

00:35:11He was looking...

00:35:11Hey!

00:35:11Off him, Mr. Hearn, or I'll charge you with assault.

00:35:16I'm doing your job for you.

00:35:18Felix!

00:35:19Come away!

00:35:20Get inside, all of you.

00:35:22Name?

00:35:23I just wanted to see her.

00:35:24Name?

00:35:25Derek Pullen.

00:35:28I want to see if it was true.

00:35:30Has he killed Sal?

00:35:32Is she in there?

00:35:33Is she in there?

00:35:35Her body's been taken away.

00:35:41My God.

00:35:44He's bloody killed her.

00:35:47Where's Ollie?

00:35:49Who's killed her?

00:35:50Him!

00:35:51Chris met her!

00:35:53He was forcing her!

00:35:55Pushing her into sex.

00:35:56He was threatening.

00:35:56I heard him!

00:35:57And she was scared.

00:36:00The bloody bastard thinks he can do anything.

00:36:03There is wanker!

00:36:06But I know what he is.

00:36:08I know what he really is.

00:36:11And what's that?

00:36:12Krishna Meta, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Miss Sally Jha.

00:36:21No.

00:36:22I didn't kill her.

00:36:22You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to do so.

00:36:25Are you letting this happen?

00:36:26What's happening?

00:36:28Debbie.

00:36:29Debbie.

00:36:29Our father!

00:36:30Don't!

00:36:30It's dying!

00:36:31There's nothing you can do, Debbie.

00:36:33It's not.

00:36:38Tell them.

00:36:39Tell them what you need to tell them.

00:36:42Someone.

00:37:12Tell me about your relationship with Sally Jarr.

00:37:33She was a servant in my parents' house.

00:37:39She seemed nice.

00:37:42That's it.

00:37:47Two days ago, the afternoon of the fate, we have a witness who says you accosted Sally near the back stairs at Martingale and tried to pressurise her into sex.

00:37:55What?

00:37:57He's lying.

00:37:59Well, this is that oaf, is it? He was trying to break into the house.

00:38:02Did you ever have sexual relations with Sally Jarr?

00:38:10No.

00:38:12Not sure of that?

00:38:15I am sure.

00:38:17Why don't you ask him why he was trying to get into the house?

00:38:20We'll continue to detain Mr. Pullen until we're certain he played no part in Sally's murder.

00:38:24I didn't kill her.

00:38:25And you won't find any evidence I did because I didn't.

00:38:28He is lying to you.

00:38:29You're a violent man, Dr. Mehta.

00:38:32Well, isn't that a contradiction?

00:38:33I'm a doctor.

00:38:34I try and save people, not hurt them.

00:38:36According to Mr. Pullen's statement, he violently assaulted a friend of his, Tom Smart, at the Lampton Arms Public House, Martingale, July or August 1967.

00:38:46Pullen claims to have witnessed the assault. Do you recall it?

00:38:53When I was 18.

00:38:53When you broke Smart's jaw, put him in hospital.

00:38:56According to Pullen, the argument was over a girl.

00:39:00The girl was Debbie.

00:39:04And Smart was a racist moron.

00:39:06He was bullying her.

00:39:07Actually, you don't know, he was targeting her.

00:39:09And it started with him mimicking an Indian accent, just loud enough for her to hear.

00:39:13And then he starts barging into her.

00:39:16And she was 15.

00:39:17And he was 17.

00:39:18And twice her size.

00:39:20And then the sick bastard started throwing excrement at her back.

00:39:24Now, my sister, who could hold her own with Dad's home office crowd, she was humiliated.

00:39:30Scared out of her wits.

00:39:31So, yes, I went and I found him and I hit him so hard that he never came near her again.

00:39:39Now, my dad paid him off.

00:39:41I hated him for it at the time.

00:39:43But he knew, he knew, if it went to court,

00:39:48who's side the jury would take?

00:39:54All right.

00:39:55Okay, bye.

00:40:00They're holding him.

00:40:02They say we shouldn't expect him soon.

00:40:21Kresh won't be back for supper.

00:40:22Miss, I'm sorry, but I've got to give in my notice.

00:40:27I can't work here anymore.

00:40:29Don't you dare, Martha.

00:40:31My mother's upstairs and my dying father and all this crap is going on.

00:40:37Show some loyalty.

00:40:38According to Pullen, Sally was his friend and she asked him for help.

00:40:54She asked him if she could borrow some money because she wanted to get away from Martingale.

00:40:59That's lies.

00:41:00Well, we found cash hidden in her room.

00:41:04Now, Derek says he gave her the money in this.

00:41:08It's what his wages came in.

00:41:09Now, we've taken prints so we can confirm that part of the story.

00:41:12Why are you so sure that Sally wasn't trying to get away from Martingale?

00:41:18Just as you were so sure that she wouldn't have taken the Demiratol herself.

00:41:22You hardly knew her.

00:41:24She was just a servant in your parents' house.

00:41:26It's odd, isn't it?

00:41:27Why she'd want to leave Martingale.

00:41:30No good job living when she's got a kid to think about.

00:41:33I think she's trying to get away from you.

00:41:37Now, what was it?

00:41:38Lady Catherine, too bit boring for you.

00:41:43And Sally's younger, prettier, livelier.

00:41:47And then there's the thrill of the chase.

00:41:50I love Sally.

00:41:57I loved her.

00:41:59I asked her to marry me that night, and she said yes.

00:42:10We'd been seeing each other for months in London.

00:42:13And Catherine...

00:42:16Catherine what?

00:42:21I should have found a better way to tell her.

00:42:23Sally was everything I wanted.

00:42:40We were going to be together, live our lives.

00:42:42We were going to be together, live our lives.

00:43:12Jimmy.

00:43:13Okay.

00:43:16Bye.

00:43:20Bye.

00:43:28Bye.

00:43:30Bye.

00:43:35Bye.

00:43:39Bye.

00:43:41I don't know.

00:44:11Help!

00:44:18Help!

00:44:21Help!

00:44:23Debbie!

00:44:24Debbie!

00:44:25He's there!

00:44:26He's there!

00:44:27Stop!

00:44:28He's there!

00:44:29Stop!

00:44:30Help her!

00:44:31Stop!

00:44:32Debbie, what happened?

00:44:34Mom!

00:44:35Debbie!

00:44:36Debbie!

00:44:37There was a man!

00:44:38Oh my God!

00:44:39He was in my room!

00:44:40What?

00:44:41He was in my room!

00:44:42He was in my room!

00:44:43I shouldn't have left it open.

00:44:46It was stupid.

00:44:48I suppose I thought with your officers outside and if Sally took the sleeping drug, I thought

00:44:55the intruder didn't exist.

00:44:57Tell me exactly what you saw.

00:44:58Tell me exactly what you saw.

00:44:59I woke up.

00:45:00I suppose I must have heard a noise.

00:45:01It was very dark, but I could see him.

00:45:02I mean, I could see a figure standing at the end of my bed.

00:45:04He was staring at me.

00:45:05I moved.

00:45:06He ran out of the door.

00:45:07He ran out of the door.

00:45:08I screamed.

00:45:09I got out of bed.

00:45:10I banged my face against the door frame.

00:45:11Felix went after him.

00:45:12You're sure it was a man?

00:45:13No.

00:45:14I thought the intruder didn't exist.

00:45:15I thought the intruder didn't exist.

00:45:16Tell me exactly what you saw.

00:45:17I woke up.

00:45:18I suppose I must have heard a noise.

00:45:19It was very dark, but I could see him.

00:45:20I mean, I could see a figure standing at the end of my bed.

00:45:22He was staring at me.

00:45:24I moved.

00:45:25He ran out of the door.

00:45:27I screamed.

00:45:28I got out of bed.

00:45:29I banged my face against the door frame.

00:45:32Felix went after him.

00:45:34You're sure it was a man?

00:45:3790% sure.

00:45:39White?

00:45:41Black?

00:45:42Asian?

00:45:43Not white.

00:45:44I think.

00:45:46How are you feeling now?

00:45:50Not too bad.

00:45:52This is sore, but...

00:45:54The night Sally Chapp died.

00:45:57Is there anything else you'd like to tell me about that evening?

00:46:02Why?

00:46:03I've already told you about it.

00:46:06Anything else that you might have remembered since then?

00:46:11Like what?

00:46:18Krish.

00:46:19I see.

00:46:20I assume he must have said something to you about the ridiculous pantomime

00:46:25that he played out with Sally that night.

00:46:29I didn't tell you because it really was nothing.

00:46:32Your brother proposed to a woman in the drawing room.

00:46:34It wasn't serious.

00:46:36He was doing it to get at me.

00:46:39I had been pushing him about Catherine.

00:46:42It's my father's dearest wish.

00:46:44Catherine and Krish.

00:46:46And we're running out of time.

00:46:47Actually, I'm feeling quite faint again.

00:46:48When I reached here, I could hear him trying the back door.

00:47:01And then footsteps running on down towards the kitchen.

00:47:03By the time I got down here, I heard the smashing glass.

00:47:06I rushed in and...

00:47:07Well...

00:47:08You can see, sir.

00:47:09There's broken glass on the floor.

00:47:10And he must have been searching for the key, not the glasses off.

00:47:12And...

00:47:13Maybe he thought the glass would slow me down.

00:47:14The door was like that.

00:47:15I ran out after him.

00:47:16Got a glimpse of a shape near the end of the courtyard.

00:47:17By the time I got down there, he must have got out through the garden.

00:47:19I went to the front of the house and I loaded the officers.

00:47:20As I said, he was smaller than me, slighter build.

00:47:21Hard to be sure because of the damage.

00:47:22It was the key.

00:47:23I knocked the glass off and...

00:47:24Maybe he thought the glass would slow me down.

00:47:31The door was like that.

00:47:33I ran out after him.

00:47:34Got a glimpse of a shape near the end of the courtyard.

00:47:38By the time I got down there, he must have got out through the garden.

00:47:42I went to the front of the house and I loaded the officers.

00:47:44As I said, he was smaller than me and slighter build.

00:47:47Hard to be sure because of the dark.

00:47:49But I'd say he was probably Asian.

00:47:57Seems likely he's connected with Suresha's work in India.

00:47:59Don't you think?

00:48:02I'm pretty mad with Devi for leaving her window open.

00:48:05How well did you know Sally Jutt was doing?

00:48:08Sally?

00:48:10Um...

00:48:12I didn't know her.

00:48:13I'd seen her five or six times maybe when I'd visited.

00:48:18Were you aware that she was in the habit of making a drink, cocoa, before going to bed?

00:48:23No.

00:48:25Why would I be? I didn't follow her around.

00:48:28Why are you asking me about this?

00:48:30The evening she died, you told us that you were all tired, you all had dinner and then you went up to bed.

00:48:35Yes.

00:48:37Did anything else happen?

00:48:42No.

00:48:44No, nothing.

00:48:46I told you that.

00:48:50You can come.

00:48:51Up to your room please.

00:48:52I'd quite like to see Devi now, if that's all right.

00:48:54Soon.

00:48:55He's completely loyal.

00:48:56He'll say whatever Devi asked him to say.

00:49:10Would he do anything?

00:49:12You thinking they've made all this up sir, the intruder?

00:49:16Are you?

00:49:17Well, there were no prints on the window or the frame except Devi's.

00:49:24And then there weren't any in Sally's room either.

00:49:27It seems odd to me that he would think of searching for the key on the shelf.

00:49:31I mean, there's so many other places it could be.

00:49:34Agreed.

00:49:36You do everything by the book.

00:49:38Stick to protocol.

00:49:40Sir.

00:49:41Ready Catherine next?

00:49:42No, no, let's leave her till last.

00:49:43Mrs. Mehta, Krishna has told us about what happened with Sally Jaup.

00:49:46The evening before she died.

00:49:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:49:48.

00:49:53.

00:49:55Mrs. Mehta, Krishna has told us about what happened with Sally Jaup the evening before she died.

00:50:13died. Yes. We should have told you. I know. I'm sorry. We all decided together. We were

00:50:26trying not to shame Krishna or to embarrass Catherine any further. And we all knew it

00:50:31wasn't important. Krishna claims he was in love with Sally. He wasn't. I know my son.

00:50:39He has an impetuous streak, especially if he feels trapped. It was my fault. I was pushing him to

00:50:46propose to Catherine for Suresha's sake. He was trying to prove that he's his own man, which he is.

00:50:53I'm sure he'd flirted with Sally. She was so pretty, so available. Men need to cut their teeth.

00:51:03But there is only one woman for Krishna, and he knows that. He and Catherine have a bond.

00:51:11There is a bond between our families.

00:51:20You think badly of us now, but at least you know that my son would never have hurt Sally.

00:51:26The packet of Dimiratol, sir. Seems empty.

00:51:38Do you recognise this, Mrs. Tate?

00:51:41Well, it looks like the stuff we use for Mr. Metter for his sleep.

00:51:45Any idea how it ended up hidden in the garden?

00:51:48No.

00:51:51Was it you were locked up last night?

00:51:53Yes.

00:51:56And where did you put the key?

00:51:59Um.

00:52:04On the shelf.

00:52:06There, behind the glasses. I always do.

00:52:08In case someone gets down before me and needs it.

00:52:12It's out of sight of the door and the window.

00:52:16So everyone in the household would know where to find it?

00:52:18Yes, I think so.

00:52:21Is Miss Debbie all right?

00:52:23She'll be fine.

00:52:26As we were leaving with Dr. Metter yesterday, you called out, you can tell them, tell them what you need to tell them.

00:52:45What did you mean by that?

00:52:46I assume he's told you?

00:52:49Told us what?

00:52:52That he asked the maid to marry him.

00:52:55The evening after the fate.

00:52:57I suspected I knew where he was doing it.

00:52:59And then Debbie admitted later that she'd been pushing him.

00:53:03To do what?

00:53:05To formalise things with me.

00:53:06It must have been extremely painful watching him propose to another woman.

00:53:12How did she react?

00:53:13I didn't say anything.

00:53:16Debbie was angry with him.

00:53:17But none of us took it seriously.

00:53:22I wasn't entirely surprised that it was that girl that he brought into the room.

00:53:27I'd noticed her flirting with him over the last few months.

00:53:30Silly, giggling stuff.

00:53:33They were even doing it at the fate.

00:53:35I took a photo.

00:53:37Thought it might make him realise how foolish he looked.

00:53:40Did you take other photographs at the fate?

00:53:43Yes.

00:53:44I'm a professional photographer.

00:53:46Portraits, usually.

00:53:47I'm in demand.

00:53:49I don't just sit around here looking demure all day, contrary to what you might think.

00:53:53I'd like to see the photographs, please.

00:53:54They're not developed.

00:53:56My dark room's in London.

00:53:57We can have them developed.

00:53:57Is there a camera in your room?

00:54:01Dressing table.

00:54:07Be careful with the negatives, please.

00:54:12Chris is under a great deal of strain.

00:54:19Actually, my heart went out to him that evening.

00:54:21Such a desperate sort of thing to do.

00:54:24How old are you, Lady Catherine?

00:54:27You must have been wondering when exactly Krishna was going to commit to you.

00:54:31That's rather a low blow, isn't it?

00:54:33It seems you've invested years in this relationship.

00:54:35I've never doubted that Chris and I will be married.

00:54:38I love him.

00:54:39And he loves me.

00:54:40If not wildly, then enough.

00:54:44I've brought my family round to the idea of him.

00:54:47We're almost there.

00:54:48I wasn't about to murder some girl he was using to shock his parents.

00:54:53Using for sex?

00:54:55I don't know.

00:54:56He's cleaner than a prostitute.

00:54:59So I don't think you should waste any more time on that theory.

00:55:05The forensics team is completing its work.

00:55:07We have officers speaking to your neighbours.

00:55:08Given what's happened, I think it may be best if Mr. Mehta were moved to a hospital.

00:55:13No.

00:55:14That's out of the question.

00:55:16Father wants to stay here.

00:55:18I'm sure the doctor wouldn't allow it.

00:55:20He thinks there isn't long.

00:55:22In that case, we'll be increasing the number of officers stationed outside.

00:55:26I'm assuming none of you will wish to leave.

00:55:28But if you do, please speak to an officer and they'll relay a message to me.

00:55:32I do expect honesty when I speak to you.

00:55:37The fact that you've withheld information has been noted.

00:55:39I assume you'll be letting Krish go now.

00:55:45With everything that's happened.

00:55:56Commander.

00:55:57Come on.

00:55:57Sorry about before.

00:56:02Sticking to the party line.

00:56:04Didn't feel like my story to tell.

00:56:08In the...

00:56:09Interests are full disclosure.

00:56:10I thought you should know that Martha...

00:56:13Mrs. Tate...

00:56:15Tried to give it in a notice yesterday.

00:56:17Debbie refused to accept it.

00:56:19She's pretty upset about it.

00:56:20She's probably forgotten to mention it, if everything is.

00:56:26Anyway.

00:56:28Thought you'd want to know.

00:56:30Thanks.

00:56:37Martha Tate is the only one who definitely knew about the sleeping drug.

00:56:43And definitely knew that Sally was the only one who drank the cocoa.

00:56:47What's her motive?

00:56:48She's been with the Metas for years.

00:56:50I can't see her being threatened by Sally's right.

00:56:54Maybe she got wind of the engagement.

00:56:56Didn't like it.

00:56:58You know, protective of the family.

00:57:00Hmm.

00:57:02The one with the most motive is her.

00:57:06And Krish may well have told her about the sleeping drug.

00:57:09And whatever she claims, she's got to have hated Sally that night.

00:57:13So she drugs her.

00:57:15Waits until she's out of it.

00:57:16Then goes into her room.

00:57:18And suffocates her.

00:57:21I mean, there's something...

00:57:22There's something hard about her.

00:57:25Don't you think?

00:57:26I think she'd be capable of doing it.

00:57:31Bye, Tate, sir.

00:57:33Thanks.

00:57:34It's like something from the 50s.

00:57:41Yeah.

00:57:42Got Derek pulling here in his legs.

00:57:45Yeah, this is the one.

00:57:47Krish and Sally.

00:57:48See, that's what I mean about her.

00:57:49She sees this and she takes a photo.

00:57:52Calm as you like.

00:57:54Everyone's not even shaking by the look of it.

00:57:56This man.

00:57:59This man.

00:58:12It's Malcolm Proctor.

00:58:13Malcolm Proctor.

00:58:26D.I.

00:58:27Roscoe.

00:58:27East Essex Police.

00:58:28Would you like to speak to you, please?

00:58:29Sorry, no can do.

00:58:30Middle of a job.

00:58:32Only in it dome for dinner.

00:58:33It's about the murder of your wife's niece, Sally Jupp.

00:58:36And?

00:58:44I haven't seen her in over a year.

00:58:47Neither of us had.

00:58:48She didn't try to find her after she left.

00:58:51Why would I?

00:58:53She was out of control.

00:58:54She ran the Mrs. Raggett.

00:58:56When she went, it was a relief.

00:58:59I'm sorry she's dead right.

00:59:01But we ain't seen her.

00:59:03And we don't know who the father of the kid is.

00:59:06Can you look at this for me, please?

00:59:18Is that you?

00:59:20Oh.

00:59:21She caught your best side.

00:59:36I did go looking for her.

00:59:41For the Mrs.

00:59:42Asked around her as soon as she upped and left.

00:59:45No one had a clue.

00:59:47Someone told me she was in the club.

00:59:49Figured.

00:59:51The way she'd been carrying on.

00:59:55We're not taking him, by the way.

00:59:58Done our bit raising someone else's kid.

01:00:00So, a week, ten days ago, a mate of mine was doing a job out of Martingale Way and he spotted her.

01:00:08So, yeah.

01:00:10Sunday, I go and find her.

01:00:11I didn't know that thing was happening.

01:00:15I was just gonna knock on the front door, check she was all right.

01:00:19I seen her.

01:00:21Pulled her out.

01:00:22Had a little chat with her.

01:00:23End of.

01:00:24Was she pleased to see you?

01:00:25Oh.

01:00:26I wouldn't go that far.

01:00:28But she got it.

01:00:29Said to tell her auntie she was fine and not to worry.

01:00:32Where did you speak to her?

01:00:33Don't know.

01:00:34Near the back door.

01:00:36She was working, so...

01:00:38Did you know who she was working for?

01:00:41Suresh met her and his wife.

01:00:44No.

01:00:46How long did you stay at the fateful?

01:00:48Christ, I don't know.

01:00:50Twenty minutes.

01:00:52Then I went home, told the Mrs. Sally was fine.

01:00:54And that was the end of it.

01:00:56Did you go back to the house later that night?

01:00:58Why the hell would I do that?

01:01:01You were a roofer then, Mr. Proctor.

01:01:03Good with heights?

01:01:04No.

01:01:05No.

01:01:06I come over all of a quiver.

01:01:09Of course I'm bloody good with heights.

01:01:11Why?

01:01:15What did you do that evening?

01:01:17Sunday.

01:01:18Watched telly with the missus.

01:01:20Stayed up to the end of a film.

01:01:22Went to bed.

01:01:23Worked next day.

01:01:25Needed my beauty sleep.

01:01:30Cocky bastard.

01:01:32Trouble is, his story makes sense.

01:01:33I want to speak to Derek Cullen again.

01:01:35I want to speak to Derek Cullen again.

01:06:41everything's in his van

01:06:43we chair the van

01:06:47no

01:06:52there

01:06:55no

01:07:07no

01:07:11no

01:07:13no

01:07:14no

01:07:16no

01:07:17no

01:07:17Proctor can't have known about sleep drug, can he?

01:07:20Unless Sally told him. And why would she?

01:07:23And how would he get it in the tin?

01:07:25Yes, I think we need to stop assuming that the person who drugged Sally

01:07:28is necessarily the same person who killed her.

01:07:30Sir, call came in, anonymous.

01:07:33Malcolm Proctor rents a lock-up. Garage is on the Brocton estate.

01:07:47All of this lot can't have just come from the metas. He's a bloody thief.

01:08:16I'm not going to sit here much longer. Not without a lawyer.

01:08:26Do you want to call one now? We can wait.

01:08:29Well, it depends what bullshit you're about to come up with.

01:08:33Roscoe, you said. I've worked it out. I know your brothers.

01:08:39They're good lads. Smart.

01:08:43We just completed a search of your house, Mr. Proctor.

01:08:46Search for what? Didn't find anything, did you?

01:08:49Because there's nothing to find.

01:08:51We went on to search a garage that you rent on the Brocton estate, number 17.

01:08:55Who told you about that?

01:08:56We had existing intelligence.

01:08:58From who?

01:08:59We discovered several items there. Valuable items.

01:09:02Some matching the description of items that recently went missing from the metas' house.

01:09:06Right. Well, she took them. Sally.

01:09:11She brought them to me to keep them for her, till she could shift them.

01:09:15Pull the other one. What about all the other stuff in there? Sally need that as well, did she?

01:09:20We're going through it all now. Matching it to burglaries that date back years.

01:09:25Handy looking into people's houses when you're up your ladder with your head for heights.

01:09:32Fuck off.

01:09:33We think you did find Sally, but not last week, several months ago.

01:09:37We think you went to her. Saw the position she was in.

01:09:40Told her to start stealing things. We think she was scared of you.

01:09:42What do you think that?

01:09:43So she complied.

01:09:44We have a witness who heard Sally arguing and pleading with the man at the fete on Sunday.

01:09:48We think that man was you.

01:09:49Think what you like.

01:09:50The man was pushing Sally into carrying out something she didn't want to do.

01:09:54We think you were angry with Sally.

01:09:56We think you went back to the house that night, climbed in through an open window,

01:10:00woke her, argued with her, and smothered her in front of her child.

01:10:04I bloody well did not.

01:10:05We were examining the clothes you wore that day looking for fibres that matched the bedding.

01:10:09If you think you're setting me up for this, you can bloody well think again.

01:10:12Sit down.

01:10:13She took the stuff and gave it to me. And why shouldn't she?

01:10:17She owed me. Years of putting clothes on her back. Putting up with her crap.

01:10:21And then there she is working for a bunch of cullards. Rich ones.

01:10:26And where did I get that money from? Us.

01:10:30Payback, I call it.

01:10:31Sit down, Mr. Proctor.

01:10:39Christ.

01:10:41I thought you'd be ignorant, but...

01:10:44It must have made you feel angry given your racist views

01:10:47when you discovered your niece was working as a servant for the matters.

01:10:52Did you think she was shaming you?

01:10:53You don't know anything about my views.

01:10:55Pro-British. There's a difference.

01:11:00Ask his lot.

01:11:02If you try and fit me up for this, you'll regret it.

01:11:07You haven't a fucking clue how far I'd reach.

01:11:12Let's get photos of the stolen items over to the matters to ID. At least then we can charge him with theft. He stays in the cells.

01:11:21God, I wish it was him. The murder.

01:11:24Sorry, but we're not ruling him out, have I?

01:11:28No, we're not. But I doubt his wife will withdraw the alibi.

01:11:31We need forensics to come through.

01:11:33Why would he risk breaking into the house?

01:11:36He knew where to find Sally. He could have accosted her any time.

01:11:39Maybe she threatened to tell about the thefts, so he knew he had to finish her off quick.

01:11:44That's a good thought.

01:11:48Sir.

01:11:49I think you should come up.

01:12:09Do you want to walk away?

01:12:18No.

01:12:23Be here for me.

01:12:25Of course.

01:12:27Where's Martha?

01:12:28The doctor wants some boiled water.

01:12:30She went out.

01:12:31About half an hour ago, she spoke to a policeman and left with him.

01:12:34I can see you to the water.

01:12:36I am...

01:12:42I want to confess.

01:12:46Confess to what, Mrs. Tate?

01:12:48To killing her, Sally.

01:12:50Sally Job.

01:12:56I would advise you to wait until you have a lawyer with you.

01:12:58I don't care about any of that.

01:13:01Please, can I just say it?

01:13:06I drugged her.

01:13:10I put the sleeping drug into the tin of cocoa weeks ago when I first bought the tin.

01:13:16I didn't think there might be more at the bottom, which is why she must have got a stronger dose.

01:13:23Why did you put the sleeping drug into the tin?

01:13:25Because...

01:13:27I can't believe I did it.

01:13:30I wanted her to look bad.

01:13:32I wanted her to...

01:13:34Sleep in over the morning.

01:13:36Get into trouble.

01:13:38I wanted her to get the sack.

01:13:39Why?

01:13:40Because I didn't want her there.

01:13:42She wasn't helping.

01:13:43She was making things worse.

01:13:45We should never have taken her on.

01:13:46I should have been involved in that decision.

01:13:50I should have interviewed her, but no.

01:13:53Mrs. Mehta saw her on her own.

01:13:55Sat her down in the drawing room, would you believe.

01:13:57Had me bringing tea.

01:13:59Well, that might be the way they do things where they come from, but it's not how it's done here.

01:14:03Of course she feels sorry for her.

01:14:05And suddenly I've got a useless girl in my kitchen.

01:14:08And not just a useless girl.

01:14:09I've got a baby crying and carrying on.

01:14:12Have some water.

01:14:26It wasn't right.

01:14:28Not when I had to help Nurse Mr. Mehta as well as everything else.

01:14:32And it wasn't like she'd learn.

01:14:34I mean...

01:14:36I could have taught her everything, I know.

01:14:38Could have made her fit for the best houses, but no.

01:14:41She knew better.

01:14:43She was rude to me.

01:14:44No respect.

01:14:45Laughing at me behind my back like I was a...

01:14:48Silly old pointless woman.

01:14:51Troll up like that, making me...

01:14:56Trying to make me feel small.

01:15:01Couldn't you have just spoken to Mrs. Mehta, you know, told her that Sally wasn't...

01:15:05Oh, I tried, of course I did.

01:15:07But she said, oh, we have to make allowances.

01:15:10Trying to impress the vicar and the neighbours.

01:15:14Oh, Mrs. Mehta, isn't she good taking that girl on?

01:15:17Well, what use is that to me?

01:15:19No.

01:15:20No!

01:15:22No!

01:15:23No!

01:15:24No!

01:15:25No!

01:15:27No!

01:15:28No!

01:15:31No!

01:15:33No!

01:15:35No!

01:15:36No!

01:15:37No!

01:15:38No!

01:15:40No!

01:15:42No!

01:15:43Sally slept in one morning.

01:15:45And that did seem to annoy Mrs. Mehta,

01:15:48so I thought perhaps I could make her do it again and again,

01:15:51and then Mrs. Mehta would see my point of view.

01:15:59I would never want to take a mother away from her baby.

01:16:06I honestly, honestly...

01:16:09When he ever wanted her to sleep,

01:16:12I was horrified when I realised...

01:16:15I've probably been able to breathe these few days.

01:16:25So?

01:16:28Evening after the fate, you told us you were in the kitchen the whole time,

01:16:31except for when you served dinner, then you locked up and went to bed.

01:16:34Yes.

01:16:35I assume you didn't know that Krishna Mehta proposed to Salija

01:16:38that evening in the drawing room, and that she said yes.

01:16:41Or did you?

01:16:42You went ahead and let her drink some of the drug to cocoa.

01:16:44Would you have done that, had you known there was a chance she might become Krishna's wife?

01:16:50Or is that why you did it?

01:16:52No.

01:16:54No, I can't believe that could have happened.

01:16:55Well, he did call her in there, but...

01:17:00No, no, because when I heard them arguing, he was really angry with her,

01:17:07and I didn't like to think what she must have done to make him shout like that.

01:17:10When did you hear them arguing?

01:17:12Later, around half past nine, as I was locking up.

01:17:14Where?

01:17:17Outside, down the side of the house somewhere.

01:17:19You sure you haven't got that wrong?

01:17:20No, I'm sure it was them.

01:17:22I wasn't eavesdropping, but it was...

01:17:24He was saying all sorts.

01:17:26She was wrong that she was betraying him,

01:17:30and she was piping up calling him Krish.

01:17:32I was going to tackle her about it the next day.

01:17:36You can ask Mrs. Langridge.

01:17:38She saw them.

01:17:40I saw her looking out of her window.

01:17:42You didn't mention any of this in your statement?

01:17:44No, well, I don't gossip about the family.

01:17:46But I didn't want to start making you think any of them was involved when it was...

01:17:50Sally Jupp didn't die as a result of the sleeping drug.

01:17:56That she was rendered drowsy by it may have been a factor in her being killed,

01:17:59but it wasn't the course of death.

01:18:02What do you mean?

01:18:05Do you mean...

01:18:06Do you mean I didn't kill her?

01:18:10We may have to consider charges of actual bodily harm.

01:18:13An officer will come and take a form of statement.

01:18:20Just where we thought they'd been truthful with us.

01:18:37Sir, Suresh Retta died half an hour ago.

01:18:43Oh, shit.

01:18:47What do we do?

01:18:48Give them till tomorrow?

01:18:50Yes, I think we have to.

01:19:20I think we have to.

01:19:20It seems right?

01:19:21What do we do?

01:19:21What do I do?

01:19:21Yes, I think.

01:19:22It seems like it's beautiful, but I don't have to.

01:19:26These stories allCratchers.

01:19:27You're right.

01:19:27Are you?

01:19:57Is Mrs. Metter coming?

01:20:00She'll be done in a moment. This is so wrong.

01:20:03As I've said, we're sorry for your loss.

01:20:07We looked at the photographs you sent.

01:20:09All of those things belong to my parents.

01:20:21Was it Martha who took them?

01:20:23No.

01:20:24Sally?

01:20:25We think Sally took them under duress.

01:20:28We think she was being threatened by someone she was scared of.

01:20:31Did you know this?

01:20:33Did Martha kill Sally?

01:20:34I assume that's why you're here.

01:20:36No, she didn't.

01:20:39Well, she must have done something. She hasn't come back.

01:20:41We're considering other charges against Mrs. Tate.

01:20:43Like what?

01:20:43According to Mrs. Tate's account of the night Sally Jupp died, she overheard an argument taking place outside the house at around 9.30pm.

01:20:52The argument was between Sally and you, Dr. Metter.

01:20:56What argument?

01:21:01What argument?

01:21:04What argument?

01:21:07Perhaps you can answer that.

01:21:09According to Mrs. Tate, you also overheard it.

01:21:11You were standing listening at your bedroom window when she went upstairs.

01:21:13Why on earth would you believe what she says?

01:21:15Because it makes sense of why you and Mr. Hearn decided to invent the story of an intruder in your bedroom two nights later.

01:21:21You'd overheard the argument and you assumed your brother must have murdered Sally Jupp.

01:21:25That is absolutely untrue.

01:21:27You knew we were considering the possibility of another politically motivated intruder.

01:21:31And so you decided to invent one while he was in custody in order to prove his innocence.

01:21:35You're choosing to believe her over me.

01:21:38And I wonder why that would be...

01:21:39Debbie, Debbie.

01:21:39Debbie.

01:21:44Is it true?

01:21:46Debbie.

01:21:50Debbie.

01:21:59You shouldn't have done that.

01:22:01Of course I should have.

01:22:04It's exactly what you would do for me.

01:22:09We did argue

01:22:21Because she didn't want to marry me

01:22:26She was annoyed

01:22:29That I'd asked her in front of everyone

01:22:30She only said yes to help me save face

01:22:33Why didn't

01:22:36She said she had fun

01:22:38And that it was exciting

01:22:39But that she wanted to do her own thing

01:22:41Live her own life

01:22:42Why didn't you tell me

01:22:44I don't know

01:22:46Because I didn't want to look like an idiot

01:22:50Because I was

01:22:54And it hurt

01:22:56And then she was dead

01:23:01I know I should have told you

01:23:05When you interviewed me

01:23:06But I didn't

01:23:07I could see how it looked

01:23:10And you were happy to let us go on

01:23:12Suspecting other people's involvement

01:23:13No

01:23:14No

01:23:15Because I knew

01:23:15None of us would have done it

01:23:17So I knew you wouldn't have been able to gather any evidence

01:23:19According to Mrs. Tate

01:23:21The row was bitter and angry

01:23:22I think you went to the pub after that row

01:23:25I think you drank heavily

01:23:26And I think your anger and resentment towards Sally

01:23:28Continued to grow

01:23:29No that is not true

01:23:30And then I think you came back here

01:23:32I think you went into Sally's room

01:23:33In the middle of the night

01:23:34And you killed her

01:23:36No I did not kill her

01:23:37He would never do that

01:23:39We can continue this down at the station

01:23:40Devi Langridge

01:23:41Felix Herlan

01:23:41I'm arresting you for perverting the course of justice

01:23:43Come on baby

01:23:44You can't be serious

01:23:45Krishna Mehta

01:23:45I'm arresting you on suspicion

01:23:47Of the murder of Sally Ja

01:23:48You are not obliged to say anything

01:23:50Are you ready to do this again?

01:23:51Stop it

01:23:51No

01:23:52No

01:23:53Stop it

01:23:54You see what you're doing?

01:23:56It's okay

01:23:57No

01:23:58No

01:23:58Okay

01:24:00Okay

01:24:01I promise

01:24:04It won't be

01:24:10Of course it won't be

01:24:12My foolish

01:24:15Foolish boy

01:24:17I killed her

01:24:25Mother

01:24:25Stop it

01:24:26Move away from her please

01:24:28How did you kill her?

01:24:31Mrs. Mehta

01:24:31Swear to me you'll leave my children alone

01:24:33No deals

01:24:34I want no more lies

01:24:36How did you kill her?

01:24:45With a pillow

01:24:46I put it over her face

01:24:55I thought she'd wake up

01:25:00But she didn't

01:25:03At first

01:25:05Then she did

01:25:08For a moment

01:25:11She struggled

01:25:14And then there were no more breaths

01:25:18It isn't true

01:25:20King

01:25:21I was so so angry with that girl

01:25:24Hateful

01:25:26Manipulative

01:25:27Coming into our home

01:25:29Making a fool of our son

01:25:32A fool of all of us

01:25:34The shame of it

01:25:36Suresh was in charge

01:25:39Of a whole province

01:25:40My father

01:25:41Owned 30,000 acres

01:25:43In Punjab

01:25:45Was I going to write

01:25:47To my brothers

01:25:47And tell them

01:25:48That our son

01:25:48Was marrying a servant

01:25:49Some slut

01:25:51From a slum

01:25:52On the edge

01:25:53Of God knows where

01:25:53Stop it

01:25:5525 years

01:25:57We have been

01:25:58In this country

01:25:59We have been

01:26:06Perfect

01:26:07Suresh was perfect

01:26:11We have earned respect

01:26:16Even in the face

01:26:20Of

01:26:20The snide remarks

01:26:23And the so-called jokes

01:26:24And the

01:26:25The sneers

01:26:27Behind their eyes

01:26:28What's the matter

01:26:32With you

01:26:32You just stood there

01:26:34And let her say

01:26:35Those things to me

01:26:36Telling me that

01:26:37There was nothing

01:26:37That I could do

01:26:38That she knew you

01:26:39Better than me

01:26:40Shameful

01:26:44Shame on you

01:26:48Over and over

01:26:52Your father said

01:26:53You play the game

01:26:56You show them

01:26:58The face

01:26:59They want to see

01:27:00But your honour

01:27:04Is your honour

01:27:07And your blood

01:27:10Is your blood

01:27:12Did you know

01:27:31Sir

01:27:31I couldn't rule her out

01:27:36I should rule her in

01:27:39Sorry to disturb you

01:28:07Sorry to disturb you

01:28:09Do you want to come in

01:28:11No

01:28:11Thank you

01:28:12I wanted to give you this

01:28:14Sally's

01:28:17Where she wrote down

01:28:19The number of the

01:28:20Women's Refuge

01:28:20Your husband's been

01:28:23Charged with four counts

01:28:24Of theft now

01:28:24He won't get bailed

01:28:26You've already shown

01:28:28You have courage

01:28:29I hope perhaps

01:28:31You might think

01:28:31Of yourself for what

01:28:32There's nothing

01:28:34Out there for me

01:28:35There might be

01:28:37I said my vows

01:28:40He said his

01:28:41I don't think

01:28:43It's ever perfect

01:28:44Not for anyone

01:28:46Keep that number

01:28:53Somewhere safe

01:28:54Will you

01:28:54For my sake

01:28:56That's being
