00:03:59Oh.

00:04:00Hi.

00:04:01About time.

00:04:06Stupid car.

00:04:08I'm just going to break down.

00:04:09Why is it just a road in the middle of nowhere?

00:04:14Nice to see you too.

00:04:16Sorry.

00:04:17Hello.

00:04:18See?

00:04:19I'll cover it in the middle of nowhere.

00:04:20I'll take you back to the hotel.

00:04:28Yeah, my jacket.

00:04:29I'm really glad you suggested me for the job.

00:04:43Why wouldn't I?

00:04:44Why wouldn't I?

00:04:45Best profile in the business.

00:04:48So what are you working on?

00:04:51Not much.

00:04:52Local boys don't like to give outside as the good stuff.

00:04:55One of the drawbacks of being on attachment.

00:04:57How's Barbara coping?

00:04:58She's back in London for a few days.

00:04:59Now her mum's gone into her home.

00:05:00She's selling the house in Acton.

00:05:02Congratulations on cracking the Evans case.

00:05:04It was quite a result.

00:05:05No, it wasn't.

00:05:06It was sordid.

00:05:07The man goes on television, tears in his eyes, begging whoever it was that killed his wife

00:05:12to give themselves up, and all the time he'd murdered her.

00:05:16It's enough to put you off relationships for life.

00:05:19Thanks.

00:05:37Lynley?

00:05:41It's me.

00:05:43Um, have you seen my lighter coming much?

00:05:47Um, have you seen my lighter?

00:05:49I think I might have dropped it in your car.

00:05:51You must be psychic. Helen and I were just talking about you.

00:05:53You have to do some work in your seduction technique.

00:05:57How come I can't hear the clink of champagne glasses?

00:06:00Because we're in a dark country lane in Helen's car.

00:06:03That was quick work.

00:06:06Thanks, but did you have all the information, Hayward?

00:06:08It's circumstantial evidence.

00:06:10Oh, come on. Moonlight. All that nature.

00:06:15Have you told her how you feel?

00:06:16Oh, better go.

00:06:20You've come to Calvary.

00:06:21Well, it's number one.

00:06:23And I don't say that.

00:06:26I think what happened here...

00:06:29I think what happened here...

00:06:30I think what happened here...

00:06:31I think what happened here...

00:06:32I think what happened here...

00:06:41I think what happened here...

00:06:42I think what happened here...

00:06:43I think what happened here...

00:06:44I think what happened here...

00:06:59Where is he?

00:07:10Hey, try and stay calm.

00:07:12Look, where is he?

00:07:13Look, I've spoken to your dad.

00:07:14We're going to start ringing round and try and find him, okay?

00:07:17Excuse me.

00:07:20Hello?

00:07:22Yeah, this is DCI Shepherd.

00:07:29Where?

00:07:48The eye, Lele.

00:07:59What do you think happened?

00:08:18Not certain.

00:08:19Bluish tinge, lips and mouth.

00:08:23Signs of asphyxiation.

00:08:25Tony?

00:08:26Lindley?

00:08:27Sir.

00:08:28Oh.

00:08:30No wonder he didn't make the wedding.

00:08:32You know the victim, sir?

00:08:33It's the Reverend Robin Sage.

00:08:35He was due to take a marriage service this morning.

00:08:37What the hell?

00:08:40What happened to his tongue?

00:08:42It's swollen, probably as a result of trauma.

00:08:45It's severed.

00:08:46He almost bit it off.

00:08:48Could he have had a fit?

00:08:49Well, thanks, Inspector.

00:08:50I'd never have thought of that.

00:08:53An epileptic fit, maybe.

00:08:56Possibly poisoning.

00:08:57You what?

00:08:59Have to wait till I do the post-mortem to find out.

00:09:01Juliet.

00:09:02Mrs Spence.

00:09:03Vicar had dinner at her place last night.

00:09:05I called in on my round.

00:09:06She was really ill.

00:09:19Thanks.

00:09:20Well?

00:09:22Over the worst, I'd say.

00:09:24I want to go back in.

00:09:25In a minute.

00:09:26And then maybe you should go and stay with Josie for a moment.

00:09:29Look, I want to see my mum.

00:09:30Soon.

00:09:31Did you tell Mrs Spence about...

00:09:33What?

00:09:33Tell me what?

00:09:35Mum.

00:09:37Juliet, I need to talk to you.

00:09:38It's really important.

00:09:40Look, you can see your mum afterwards.

00:09:42Please, love.

00:09:42Don't love me.

00:09:44You're not my dad.

00:09:44Just give me a moment.

00:09:47Hmm?

00:09:49Please?

00:09:50Maggie, why don't we go downstairs?

00:09:51I'm sure he won't be long.

00:10:07What?

00:10:09I'm sorry to have to tell you, but the vicar, Reverend Sage, died last night.

00:10:16Well, no.

00:10:17That's not right.

00:10:18He couldn't have.

00:10:19I mean...

00:10:21He had dinner here with your mum, didn't he?

00:10:25Well, Robin did.

00:10:26I thought that...

00:10:27What?

00:10:31Nothing.

00:10:32So you didn't eat with the Reverend Sage and your mother?

00:10:35No, she, um, p-papped me after Josie's.

00:10:39What was going on?

00:10:41We do have to find out what happened.

00:10:44Is your father around?

00:10:45He left when I was younger.

00:10:47Are you, are you sure Robin's dead?

00:10:53I mean, he's, he's really dead.

00:10:57I think so.

00:11:03Right.

00:11:05Lindley, I want you to go and talk to the vicar's housekeeper.

00:11:08I miss Polly Yarkin.

00:11:10Constable, you go with the inspector.

00:11:11Do the introductions.

00:11:12We haven't been introduced.

00:11:17I'm D.I. Lindley.

00:11:18Steve.

00:11:18Constable Steve Shepard.

00:11:20Oh, do you see I, Shepard?

00:11:22He's my father.

00:11:23This is D.I. Lindley.

00:11:43He wants to ask you a few questions.

00:11:46Please, come in.

00:11:47Come in.

00:11:48Come in.

00:11:49Come in.

00:11:51Well, one minute he was alive and the next, they said, he suffered.

00:12:05I'm afraid so.

00:12:08How long had you worked for Reverend Sage?

00:12:10Ever since he got it.

00:12:12Four months ago.

00:12:14When was the last time you spoke with him?

00:12:15I asked him if he wanted dinner and he said he was going out.

00:12:20And did he tell you he was going to Juliet Spence's cottage?

00:12:24No.

00:12:26But he put his best suit on.

00:12:29What's that supposed to mean?

00:12:31Nothing.

00:12:32I'm just remarking.

00:12:34Did he ever ask you about Juliet?

00:12:36About Mrs Spence?

00:12:37No.

00:12:38He never said anything?

00:12:39Are you sure?

00:12:39Even in passing?

00:12:40Why are you asking me about Juliet Spence?

00:12:43It's Robin Sage who's dead.

00:12:45We'll leave it there for the moment.

00:12:47Thank you, Miss Yarkin.

00:12:50I mean, don't get me wrong.

00:12:51She's bound to be upset.

00:12:54But Polly's a bit...

00:12:56flaky.

00:13:00So, what's next?

00:13:03Check with the stocko, Sergeant.

00:13:04He may need help preserving the scene.

00:13:06Well, I'd be much better use back at the Spence's cottage.

00:13:09Not until we've got the results back on cause of death.

00:13:12I'll call Socker.

00:13:13Tell him I'm on your way.

00:13:15Constable.

00:13:16Sir.

00:13:29Have you seen the DCI anywhere?

00:13:31He's in the shop talking to Reverend Sage's verger.

00:13:33Thanks.

00:13:36Any progress, sir?

00:13:40Bit of a smart aleck, that Tony.

00:13:43Toxicology reports suggest the Reverend Sage died of water, hemlock poisoning.

00:13:47Someone poisoned him?

00:13:48Hemlock grows wild round here.

00:13:50Juliet Spence prepared a meal for the Reverend,

00:13:52and she picked hemlock thinking it was parsnip.

00:13:55Accidental death.

00:13:56That's one opinion, sir.

00:13:58And one the coroner is most likely to share.

00:14:01Until we can prove that beyond reasonable doubt,

00:14:03the investigation will continue.

00:14:04Sir.

00:14:10I don't mean to tread on your toes,

00:14:11but are you aware that your son, PC Shepherd,

00:14:14is having a relationship with Juliet Spence?

00:14:16You are?

00:14:17I came across this information accidentally.

00:14:19I had a senior investigating officer in this case.

00:14:21I thought you ought to know.

00:14:22You sure?

00:14:26Thanks.

00:14:28Well, you saved me a lot of trouble down the line.

00:14:30Word, Constance.

00:14:50Now.

00:14:51I stand there while some outsider tells me about you and Juliet Spence.

00:15:05What outsider?

00:15:07Lindley.

00:15:08Had to inform the super.

00:15:09Gives me an earful.

00:15:11Conflict of interest senior officer should have known.

00:15:14Sage wasn't murdered.

00:15:15There is no case.

00:15:17Not for you and me, there isn't.

00:15:18I turned it over.

00:15:20What?

00:15:22Who's who?

00:15:24That's Southern Ponce Lindley.

00:15:25It was an accident.

00:15:28That's obvious.

00:15:30How do you know it?

00:15:31Because you're giving her one.

00:15:32Why the hell didn't you tell me you haven't had an affair with Juliet Spence?

00:15:35I'm a grown-up.

00:15:36My personal life.

00:15:37You should have warned me.

00:15:38This is my career on the line.

00:15:46Hello?

00:15:47How's the packing going?

00:15:49Great.

00:15:50Now, if you feel like cutting your leaves short,

00:15:52the superintendent of Alred has handed me a suspicious death.

00:15:55I'd like you back up here, working with me.

00:15:58Well, I guess if you can't crack it without me,

00:16:02then it looks like I've got no choice.

00:16:05There's a train at 7...

00:16:0810 past 7.

00:16:10Pick me up at 10.30.

00:16:11See you then.

00:16:12Okay, bye.

00:16:25Hi, come on in.

00:16:32How was your first day?

00:16:34Fascinating.

00:16:36I hear you're in charge of the Robin Sage case.

00:16:41Come in.

00:16:41Tony Phillips, Helen Clyde.

00:16:48Oh, the profiler on the Evans case.

00:16:51Superintendent Alred's obviously very impressed.

00:16:54He's been singing your praises all day.

00:16:56Well, I'm not sure why.

00:16:57I've only just found my way to the canteen.

00:17:01Helen and I know each other from London.

00:17:02I thought I'd bring you up to speed on the Robin Sage case.

00:17:07If you can spare the time.

00:17:09Do you want me to leave?

00:17:10No, of course not.

00:17:13Steve Shepard said that Juliet Spence spent the night vomiting.

00:17:17Probably saved her life.

00:17:18The symptoms of hemlock poisoning are delirium, convulsions and abdominal pains.

00:17:24A single mouthful can kill a man.

00:17:26So, how come she survived?

00:17:29Because she threw up.

00:17:31But interestingly, hemlock doesn't make you vomit.

00:17:35You're telling me hemlock doesn't cause vomiting?

00:17:37No, not the way she describes.

00:17:39Two people eat the same meal.

00:17:41One person dies, the other conveniently has some form of stomach upset and lives.

00:17:45Exactly.

00:17:55All right.

00:17:59Have you eaten?

00:18:01Oh, thank you.

00:18:03Yeah, I had a roasted veg sandwich with organic wholemeal.

00:18:07I need a cigarette.

00:18:09Oh, I found your lighter.

00:18:10Oh, thank you, sir.

00:18:14How's your mum settling into the home?

00:18:17OK.

00:18:20Sometimes I go there and she thinks I'm a sister.

00:18:22which isn't so stupid actually

00:18:25everyone says I look just like Auntie Joyce

00:18:27well except for the nose

00:18:52mum mum the place took all the bottles away

00:19:01what happened at the hospital

00:19:03are you okay

00:19:05it's alright

00:19:06I'm alright

00:19:08why didn't you tell me Robin was coming for dinner

00:19:18I wanted to talk to him privately

00:19:23yeah but I mean

00:19:25you should have told me

00:19:26I should have known

00:19:27you saw me preparing supper

00:19:30you could have asked

00:19:31who did you think I'd invited

00:19:35Maggie

00:19:37you think I don't know

00:19:42but I know

00:19:43I've heard the two of you

00:19:45and you

00:19:46what panting in his ear

00:19:48I love you Steve

00:19:49I love you

00:19:49this one is sick

00:19:52why didn't you say he knew about me and Steve

00:19:56why don't you tell me

00:19:57it doesn't mean anything

00:20:02it's not like you and me

00:20:05what are the gouges on the ground

00:20:10I know he dug his heels in as he crashed about

00:20:12you can see

00:20:13they clawed up the earth

00:20:15this tongue

00:20:19so swollen he'd almost chewed it in half

00:20:22if you're lucky you don't have heart failure

00:20:25no he wasn't lucky

00:20:26no he asphyxiated

00:20:27how long did it take

00:20:28too long

00:20:30we know how he died

00:20:33the hemlock poisoning

00:20:34we know who served him the poison

00:20:36Juliet Spence

00:20:36what we don't know

00:20:37is whether she deliberately

00:20:39gave him the hemlock

00:20:40or whether someone else

00:20:41substituted the hemlock

00:20:42for the parsnip

00:20:43not forgetting

00:20:44the terrible accident theory

00:20:46or it wasn't

00:20:49Reverend Sage

00:20:49who was supposed to die

00:20:50but if the pathologist

00:20:53is right

00:20:53and this

00:20:54Spence

00:20:54made herself vomit

00:20:56then

00:20:56then she must have known

00:20:58she'd eaten something poisonous

00:20:59but even if she'd deliberately

00:21:00made herself sick

00:21:01she could still have been

00:21:02the intended victim

00:21:03PC Shepard

00:21:10was the first person

00:21:11to see her

00:21:12after Sage left

00:23:59it's all part of my patrol

00:24:00couldn't find any biscuits

00:24:03so

00:24:05where was Mrs. Spence?

00:24:10it's in my statement

00:24:11on the bathroom floor

00:24:13vomiting

00:24:14did she say she'd taken anything

00:24:16before she'd started being sick?

00:24:18what kind of a stupid question is that?

00:24:20sir

00:24:21simple enough for you to understand

00:24:23I'd have thought

00:24:24she was wrenching her guts up

00:24:25it wasn't exactly the time to have a conversation

00:24:27you didn't think to call Robin Sage

00:24:29find out how he was

00:24:30well I thought it was just ordinary food poisoning

00:24:32I thought you'd just have to let it run its course

00:24:35if Mrs. Spence was thrown up in the bathroom

00:24:38who let you in?

00:24:40I have a key

00:24:41for all you know

00:24:42Sage might still have been there with Juliet

00:24:44it could have been embarrassing

00:24:46he left at nine

00:24:47how do you know?

00:24:52how do you know constable?

00:24:55were you spying on Juliet Spence and Robin Sage?

00:24:57do you remember that case?

00:25:27a butcher

00:25:28and all those people dying of E. coli from his shop

00:25:32I remember thinking

00:25:34how do you live with that?

00:25:40you and Reverend Sage must have

00:25:42got on well for you to invite him for dinner

00:25:44I always think it's easier to discuss things over a meal

00:25:48it's more relaxing

00:25:50were you anticipating a row?

00:25:55no

00:25:55why didn't you want Maggie to go to his youth club?

00:26:02we're not churchgoers

00:26:04it seems hypocritical

00:26:06well not if Maggie wanted to

00:26:07and Reverend Sage didn't mind

00:26:09I was just trying to

00:26:10I don't know

00:26:12trying to set some moral standards

00:26:14does that include your relationship with Steve Shepard?

00:26:16I need some advice

00:26:23Maggie was telling me about the house rule

00:26:35the only people you can really trust are your family

00:26:37sounds a bit harsh

00:26:38typical moody teenager interpretation

00:26:42we've moved around a bit

00:26:44makes it hard to sustain friendships

00:26:47was she considered Reverend Sage a friend?

00:26:50hmm

00:26:50well he was a good listener

00:26:52and he wasn't me

00:26:54been acting up is she?

00:26:58this has nothing to do with Maggie

00:27:00she wasn't even here

00:27:01was she here when you were cooking the meal?

00:27:05yes

00:27:05did you leave her alone in the kitchen at any time?

00:27:09no

00:27:09what you didn't use the phone

00:27:11go to the bathroom?

00:27:13Maggie's my daughter

00:27:14are you suggesting?

00:27:17I'm sorry I'm not listening to this

00:27:19well?

00:27:21I was wondering what to do about

00:27:24Robin's

00:27:26the vicar's things

00:27:27I don't know who his next of kin is

00:27:30well you just leave everything as it is for the moment

00:27:34is that it?

00:27:44I want to be friends again

00:27:45and he knew

00:27:49I walked in

00:27:52and she knew

00:27:53my wife's dying

00:27:55and

00:27:56we're rolling around

00:27:57on that stinking barn floor

00:27:59she knew

00:28:02you make it sound disgusting

00:28:04that we did something wrong

00:28:05is that why you went with Mrs Spence?

00:28:09to punish me?

00:28:12you and me is special

00:28:14you and me is over

00:28:16never started

00:28:18but I loved you first

00:28:21I loved you before Annie

00:28:24before Juliet Spence

00:28:27how much did you love me Polly?

00:28:28enough to poison Juliet

00:28:29only you kill Reverend Sage instead

00:28:31no

00:28:31what are you hoping for now eh?

00:28:33then they'll send her away for the murder

00:28:35and you can have me alter yourself

00:28:36water hemlock poisoning

00:28:39doesn't present itself

00:28:40in the way you've described

00:28:41Mrs Spence

00:28:41no all I know is

00:28:43I had to be sick

00:28:44are you saying you made yourself sick?

00:28:46yes I took an emetic

00:28:47an old-fashioned cure-all

00:28:49it was in one of the bottles

00:28:50the police took away

00:28:50why didn't you tell Steve Shepard this at the time?

00:28:54I didn't have to

00:28:55he could see the bottle

00:28:56in fact

00:28:58yeah

00:28:59he poured me the second dose

00:29:01just to make sure

00:29:03why did Shepard learn about the emetic?

00:29:09to protect her

00:29:10he thinks she killed Sage

00:29:12well it was in fact a terrible accident

00:29:14but he knows how bad it would look

00:29:15if he found out

00:29:16that she made herself sick

00:29:17how about this?

00:29:25Sage is coming to dinner

00:29:26Shepard's jealous

00:29:27he swaps the parsnip for the hemlock

00:29:30we know he's watching the cottage

00:29:32he intended to call him

00:29:34whether Juliet rang or not

00:29:36if she hadn't already made herself sick

00:29:38then he had to

00:29:39that would explain

00:29:40why he encouraged her

00:29:40to take another dose of the emetic

00:29:42he's obviously crazy about Juliet

00:29:43he wouldn't risk killing the woman he adores

00:29:45so with respect

00:29:46so not everyone's as romantic in love as you are

00:29:48no if Shepard is a psychopath

00:29:50then

00:29:50well he might chance it

00:29:52he set up a meeting for me

00:29:59with Reverend Sage's bishop

00:30:00then talk to his church wardens

00:30:02and the parish council

00:30:03someone must know

00:30:04who his next of kin is

00:30:04can I have a word?

00:30:07of course

00:30:08thanks Andy

00:30:09I re-read the Sage report

00:30:14it says that Juliet Spence

00:30:15is a herbalist

00:30:16she calls herself

00:30:18an alternative therapist

00:30:19she has stalls

00:30:20at local markets

00:30:20and so on

00:30:21why?

00:30:22what distinguishes

00:30:23water hemlock

00:30:23from other members

00:30:24of the umbiliferi

00:30:25is the root

00:30:25while plastic has a single root

00:30:28water hemlock

00:30:28has a tuberous bundle

00:30:30of roots

00:30:30and you're saying

00:30:31Juliet Spence

00:30:32should have known this

00:30:32when she dug it up

00:30:33there are other characteristics

00:30:35a herbalist should notice

00:30:36when you cut lengthways

00:30:38into water hemlock

00:30:39it displays nodes

00:30:40and internodes

00:30:41er sorry

00:30:42it was either biology

00:30:43or communication skills

00:30:44at my school

00:30:45I took communication skills

00:30:47very good

00:30:49it was a pathologist

00:30:49Barbara Havers

00:30:50Barbara Havers

00:30:52finally get to put a face

00:30:53to the name

00:30:54sorry

00:30:56I was working with

00:30:57the Met last year

00:30:58they were offering

00:30:58five to one

00:30:59that your partnership

00:31:00wouldn't make it out

00:31:01of the paddock

00:31:01I beg your pardon

00:31:02it was just a bit of fun

00:31:03I'm sure everyone's delighted

00:31:05that Barbara's eventually

00:31:06managed to find someone

00:31:07she could work with

00:31:07you know

00:31:08call me a snob

00:31:09Tony

00:31:09but given the choice

00:31:11between working

00:31:12with a clever

00:31:13considerate man

00:31:14or a

00:31:14mouthy git

00:31:16I'll know

00:31:17who I'd choose

00:31:18you've obviously

00:31:20got a broken in

00:31:21Lindley

00:31:23you're onto a dead search

00:31:29most of his time

00:31:29cutting up dead people

00:31:32a warped

00:31:33sick mind

00:31:34well this warped

00:31:36sick mind

00:31:37has come to the conclusion

00:31:38that Juliet Spence

00:31:39had to know

00:31:39that hemlock

00:31:40has chambers

00:31:41looks like

00:31:43if she did cook

00:31:44the hemlock

00:31:44it can't have been

00:31:45an accident

00:31:45it had to be murder

00:31:47right except

00:31:49Tony

00:31:50that Juliet Spence

00:31:51isn't the only one

00:35:12all right thanks

00:35:15you

00:35:25MUSIC CONTINUES

00:35:47Well, this is the spot. I dug it up here.

00:35:50Can you see any plants now that look like wild parsnip?

00:35:52Um, no.

00:35:56What does the book say, Sergeant?

00:35:58Um...

00:36:04That one, maybe.

00:36:06Give it a go.

00:36:16What do you think, Mrs Spence?

00:36:22I'm not sure.

00:36:28No, don't.

00:36:30Why not?

00:36:32Why not, Mrs Spence?

00:36:36That isn't parsnip. It's water hemlock.

00:36:38Are you saying that when you dug up the parsnip problem's age, you knew it was hemlock?

00:36:42No, it had one root. I would have noticed.

00:36:44What are you saying?

00:36:46The only way the hemlock could have got into your cooking pot is if somebody else put it there.

00:36:48No.

00:36:50I'm not sure.

00:36:52When Maggie was little and ate too much cake, like kids do, did you used to give her a nemetic?

00:36:58What?

00:36:59Well, Maggie knows that the minute her mum eats something bad, she makes herself sick.

00:37:02Look, I've told you...

00:37:03Do you consider yourself a good mum?

00:37:04Yes.

00:37:05So you must have taught Maggie which plants are poisonous.

00:37:06Well, Maggie can't.

00:37:07It didn't do anything.

00:37:08I was with her in the kitchen all the time.

00:37:09No, you weren't.

00:37:10We did a house-to-house.

00:37:11At 5.13 on the evening of Robin Sage's death, you had a parcel-force delivery.

00:37:14The driver remembers it very clearly.

00:37:15It was his last call.

00:37:16He had a cold.

00:37:17You suggested several remedies.

00:37:18He says you were on the doorstep for almost ten minutes.

00:37:19You were on the doorstep for almost ten minutes.

00:37:21What?

00:37:22What?

00:37:23What?

00:37:24What?

00:37:25What?

00:37:26What?

00:37:27What?

00:37:28What?

00:37:29What?

00:37:30What?

00:37:31What?

00:37:32What?

00:37:33What?

00:37:34What?

00:37:35What?

00:37:36What?

00:37:37What?

00:37:38What?

00:37:39What?

00:37:40What?

00:37:41It was ten minutes.

00:37:42Was Maggie alone then?

00:37:43Why would Maggie want to kill anyone?

00:37:46It's absurd.

00:37:49I'd like permission to interview your daughter.

00:37:51No, it's out of the question.

00:37:53Why don't you want us to talk to her, Mrs. Spence?

00:38:00Detective Inspector Lindy would like to ask you a few questions.

00:38:04What about?

00:38:05Robin Sage.

00:38:08if she doesn't want to talk

00:38:11I'm not a kid

00:38:12just go, will you?

00:38:38I'm not a kid

00:39:08when you were younger

00:39:12your mum used to take you with her

00:39:14when she went out collecting wild plants

00:39:16me, I'm hopeless

00:39:18I don't know, one plant from another

00:39:19I'm as good as mum

00:39:21so you wouldn't make a mistake

00:39:23you'd know the difference between

00:39:25wild parsnip and water hemlock for instance

00:39:28maybe, it depends

00:39:30if you didn't know

00:39:32Robin Sage was coming to dinner that night

00:39:34who did you think your mum was cooking for?

00:39:37who cares

00:39:38wasn't interested

00:39:39Steve?

00:39:43your mum invites her boyfriend round

00:39:46and you're chanted off to some mates

00:39:48and you don't care

00:39:50yeah

00:39:55no

00:39:55bet all your mates have

00:39:57all that stuff they have to gossip about

00:40:00did he kiss?

00:40:03how far did they get?

00:40:05and there's you

00:40:06stuck on the outside

00:40:07I don't want their stupid boyfriends

00:40:09they're just kids

00:40:10oh you mean you prefer your men older

00:40:14like Steve

00:40:16oh I've got it sir

00:40:19she fancies Steve Shepard

00:40:21no I don't

00:40:22I hate him

00:40:23I hate everything about him

00:40:25Margaret Spence

00:40:28you do not have to say anything

00:40:30but it may harm your defence

00:40:31if you do not mention when questioned

00:40:33something which you later rely on in court

00:40:35you've got it all wrong

00:40:35you don't understand

00:40:36you've got it all wrong

00:40:36you don't understand

00:41:05I spoke to Robin

00:41:19what did he say?

00:41:23he told me to do nothing

00:41:24he said

00:41:26he knew it was hard

00:41:27but

00:41:28it wasn't always going to be me and mum

00:41:30that

00:41:31one day I'd leave

00:41:32a life of my own

00:41:33why didn't you want your mum just now?

00:41:43she didn't like you seeing Robin said

00:41:44look Robin was my friend

00:41:48every time she banged on about it

00:41:51it just felt like she was spoiling it

00:41:52what else did you and Robin talk about?

00:41:58everything

00:41:59books I read

00:42:01favourite movies

00:42:03what I wanted to do

00:42:05my dreams

00:42:06he was saying

00:42:07what did you say Maggie?

00:42:14he said I was a unique person

00:42:16if she thought Steve was coming to dinner

00:42:24and she knew her mum takes an emetic

00:42:25whenever she feels ill

00:42:27she still could have killed Robin by mistake

00:42:29okay we don't rule her out

00:42:31I can see why Maggie liked Robin

00:42:34father figure

00:42:35her own special friend

00:42:37but why was he so interested in her?

00:42:46Linley

00:42:47that interview you wanted with the bishop

00:42:49I finally made contact

00:42:50would you like a drink?

00:43:21spying on Juliet's cottage

00:45:27Sage originally came from Cornwall

00:45:32he was such a

00:45:35terrible loss

00:45:36he had a marvellous record

00:45:38youngest archdeacon

00:45:39lecturer

00:45:40fantastic fundraiser

00:45:41why did he give all that up

00:45:44to become a parish priest

00:45:45his wife

00:45:47Susanna

00:45:48committed suicide

00:45:50suicide how?

00:45:54threw herself over the side of a ferry

00:45:56on the way to France

00:45:57and when was this?

00:45:59about 12 years ago

00:46:00I really don't know

00:46:01much about it

00:46:02must have been

00:46:03extremely traumatic for him

00:46:04listening to myself

00:46:06I realised I didn't know

00:46:08Robin very well at all

00:46:09before he moved here

00:46:12he seemed quite different

00:46:13how do you mean?

00:46:15a man with

00:46:16great faith

00:46:17strong convictions

00:46:18he changed?

00:46:20in the last few months

00:46:22he seemed

00:46:22uncertain

00:46:23distressed

00:46:24he didn't tell you

00:46:26what was troubling him?

00:46:28God forgive me

00:46:29I should have asked

00:46:31he wasn't troubled

00:46:33inspector

00:46:34he was in crisis

00:46:59what are you doing?

00:47:03God for help on this

00:47:03what are you doing?

00:47:05what are you doing?

00:47:09What is your doing?

00:47:10What do you mean?

00:47:26From now on, you only eat food that can't be tampered with.

00:47:30I don't understand.

00:47:31You're not responsible.

00:47:33It wasn't your fault.

00:47:35What do you mean?

00:47:37It wasn't Robin Sage that was meant to die.

00:47:40It was you.

00:47:41Susanna Sage committed suicide 12 years ago.

00:47:46Reverend Robin Sage moves parishes regularly.

00:47:49Has formed a very close relationship with unique Maggie, an underage teenager.

00:47:54But hence the crisis, Juliet kills him.

00:47:56I'm sorry, sir.

00:47:58But why didn't you report it?

00:48:00Tell PC Shepherd.

00:48:02Maggie was genuinely fond of Sage.

00:48:04Says she wouldn't testify against him.

00:48:05Yeah, but is that enough to make Juliet take the law into her own hands and...

00:48:10And kill him.

00:48:11She's her mum.

00:48:12Who knows what she'd do to protect her own daughter.

00:48:16We need to talk to the housekeeper, Polly.

00:48:19Find out if she was in the vicarage where Maggie used to visit.

00:48:21Dark in here.

00:48:37What happened, Polly?

00:48:38Oh, I fell down the back steps.

00:48:41Stupid.

00:48:42I just washed him.

00:48:44That's typical me racing about.

00:48:46Perhaps we should get you to the hospital.

00:48:49No.

00:48:50Would you like to talk to Barbara alone?

00:48:52No, of course not.

00:48:55Just between you and me.

00:48:57We might help.

00:48:58What?

00:49:00You think...

00:49:02I fell down the back steps, honest.

00:49:06Look, you came to ask questions about Reverend Sage, so far away.

00:49:10Why don't we take a seat?

00:49:11Did Reverend Sage ever talk about his wife?

00:49:26What wife?

00:49:28Well, she committed suicide 12 years ago.

00:49:30He never said.

00:49:32Well, he never even mentioned her.

00:49:35Well, to be honest, he didn't seem interested in women.

00:49:38What about Maggie Spence?

00:49:39I gather she came here quite often.

00:49:42Yeah, but she's just a kid.

00:49:46What did they do?

00:49:48Sat in a study together.

00:49:50And taught their heads off.

00:49:51Did her mum ever come?

00:49:53No.

00:49:58June the 10th, social services, 12.30.

00:50:01Why visit the social services?

00:50:03How about you seeing a social worker?

00:50:06Same question, Hayworth.

00:50:08Why?

00:50:09Maybe you're right.

00:50:14Robin Sage and Maggie wasn't the problem.

00:50:16All those heart-to-hearts together.

00:50:17Maybe what he learnt from Maggie was that Juliet was an unfit mother

00:50:20and decided to talk to the social services about it.

00:50:22And we went to London on June 10th, 8.30 train.

00:50:27Well, whoever he was seeing in social services was in London.

00:50:31The question is, why were they interested in a girl in Lancashire?

00:50:33Inspector?

00:50:38Inspector?

00:50:40PC Shepherd's got some important information on the Sage case.

00:50:43Polly Yarkin.

00:50:44I'm disgusted to say, has an obsession with me.

00:50:47I found this in her cottage.

00:50:49Look under H for Hemlock.

00:50:50So you decided to interview her yourself, did you?

00:50:54Yeah.

00:50:54Give her the personal touch.

00:50:56Oh, come on, Sergeant.

00:50:57You took the law into your own hands.

00:50:59Don't think you can hide behind your father.

00:51:01So you get your kicks?

00:51:02Hitting female suspects?

00:51:03You slanderous cow!

00:51:05Right, right.

00:51:05She decided to punch herself in the man.

00:51:07Steve, what is it with you?

00:51:12Maggie?

00:51:21Kids at school yell and stuff.

00:51:24Mum's a psycho.

00:51:29Is that what you think?

00:51:33No.

00:51:34It's all wrong.

00:51:35You didn't do it.

00:51:37It's just...

00:51:38Whatever's happened, Maggie,

00:51:45we'll get through this together.

00:51:47Hmm?

00:51:54Mum?

00:51:55It's Barbara.

00:51:57Well, I said it'd ring.

00:52:00Barbara, your daughter...

00:52:02No, I'm not coming to take you out.

00:52:07Um...

00:52:07Well, I explained, but...

00:52:10No, you like it there.

00:52:13Yes, you do.

00:52:14You told me you liked it last time I came.

00:52:23Last week, Mum.

00:52:26I came to see you last week.

00:52:27I think it appears from what you said as if Steve Shepard is on the verge of a breakdown.

00:52:32Jealous, paranoid, violent.

00:52:34But...

00:52:34Is he a murderer?

00:52:37It all seems too premeditated.

00:52:39I think he's more likely to strike out in anger.

00:52:42Have you got anything on Polly Yarkin?

00:52:48Cheap spellbook.

00:52:50Unrequited passion for said PC Shepard.

00:52:53I've decided to wait and see if someone more substantial turns up before you question her again.

00:52:58What about Maggie, Spence?

00:53:01Angry, confused, only child.

00:53:03Desperate to hang on to her mother's affections.

00:53:08Things we put ourselves through for love.

00:53:12Is this something you're not telling me?

00:53:15Why?

00:53:17Nothing.

00:53:19Come in.

00:53:19Um, there's stuff on Robin Sage's dead wife, Susanna.

00:53:25He'll be here in half an hour.

00:53:27Thanks.

00:53:29There's no point in you staying.

00:53:31That's all right.

00:53:33No, no, I've got loads of things to do.

00:53:36There's no point in both of us hanging around.

00:53:48Marcus.

00:53:49Night, Andy.

00:53:51Night.

00:53:53Yeah, I appreciate they'd be over time.

00:53:56Just send me the bill, hmm?

00:53:58Thanks.

00:54:04Can I give you a lift to the hotel?

00:54:08Great.

00:54:12I'd love a drink.

00:54:14Yeah.

00:54:16If everyone would have luck.

00:54:17Never mind.

00:54:18I hadn't realised it was so late.

00:54:26Hi.

00:54:27Room six, please.

00:54:31Twelve, please.

00:54:32Thanks.

00:54:33See you in the morning.

00:54:35Yeah.

00:54:36Room service.

00:54:51Room service?

00:55:03Do you think we'll be sitting together like this when we're 90?

00:55:15Some night in shining arm was bound to have whisked you away before then.

00:55:20Are you saying I need rescuing?

00:55:21Ah, it's okay.

00:55:23You don't have to answer.

00:55:23I was ready to launch to save you from the window.

00:55:27This isn't advisable behaviour for close friends.

00:55:39This isn't advisable behaviour for close friends.

00:55:41Susanna, Robinsage's late wife, committed suicide on a ferry to France 12 years ago.

00:55:52It was a rough crossing and she went to the loo complaining of feeling sick.

00:55:57She never came back.

00:55:58She never came back.

00:55:58Did the police investigate Robinsage?

00:56:04Er, yeah.

00:56:05There were no signs of a struggle.

00:56:06No witnesses.

00:56:08Her handbag was found in the car with a note.

00:56:11What did it say?

00:56:12Er, sorry, can't carry on.

00:56:17Her passport was in her bag.

00:56:19There was no trace of her in the ship and she couldn't have got off the ferry in France.

00:56:24It's the way I tell them.

00:56:29What about the body?

00:56:31Erm, it was, it was never found.

00:56:34Er, but, here's the best bit.

00:56:35Oh, okay.

00:56:37I'll get them to bring a fresh pot of coffee.

00:56:39Thanks, but, erm, I'm driving back to London.

00:56:42London?

00:56:43I've got some research to do.

00:56:46Erm, I don't want to disturb your work, so, we'll speak later.

00:56:49Bye, Barbara.

00:56:58I'll be back in a minute.

00:57:08Oh, thank you very much.

00:57:10Why are you running away?

00:57:13Don't be melodramatic.

00:57:15I've got a job to do, so have you.

00:57:18I'll ring you later.

00:57:19Did something happen last night?

00:57:36Anything else?

00:57:38Erm, yeah, actually, erm...

00:57:40Er, Robin and Susanna had, er, a son, er, Joseph.

00:57:47He died when he was three months old.

00:57:51Get back onto the incident room.

00:57:52I want everything they confide on Robin Sage's dead wife.

00:57:54Um, we've turned up a sister for Susanna's bed.

00:58:12Um, we've turned up a sister for Susanna Sage, uh, Kate Gutterman.

00:58:27She's a social worker, lives in London.

00:58:42What do you think happened to your sister on that ferry?

00:58:46Robin Sage killed her.

00:58:49Maybe he didn't actually push her over the side, but he killed her.

00:58:55Well, how do you mean?

00:58:57Joseph, the baby's son, was running a temperature.

00:59:01Robin insisted the poor little thing should sleep in the other room.

00:59:05When Susanna went in the next morning, Joseph was dead.

00:59:08How was their relationship after that?

00:59:10How do you think?

00:59:12Terrible.

00:59:13That's why I know he did or said something to make her end it.

00:59:18That's a very serious accusation.

00:59:20Susanna came to see me weeks before she died.

00:59:24She'd been a social worker, too, before she was married.

00:59:27She'd decided to write a book.

00:59:30I let her borrow some of my case notes.

00:59:32That's illegal.

00:59:34She was my sister. I trust her with my life.

00:59:37Uh, what's this got to do with her state mind?

00:59:39Well, suddenly she was the old Susanna again.

00:59:42Energised. Focused.

00:59:45Then she committed suicide.

00:59:47Her only epitaph, a note saying, sorry, I can't carry on.

00:59:51Have you seen anything of Sage since?

00:59:54He did come to visit me a couple of months ago.

00:59:58After all this time, suddenly he cares.

01:00:02He wanted to know what Susanna and I had talked about in the last weeks of her life.

01:00:06And who did she see and where did she go?

01:00:09Well, how often did he come?

01:00:11Once was enough.

01:00:12We found tickets for several trips to London.

01:00:16Did he have any friends here?

01:00:19No. Not that I know.

01:00:21There were no photographs of Susanna in the vicarage.

01:00:24I'd never go anywhere without it.

01:00:32They never found her.

01:00:34Perhaps if I'd had a body to bury, maybe things would have been easier.

01:00:39Do you know a woman called Juliet Spence?

01:00:43No.

01:00:45How old would Joseph have been if he'd lived?

01:00:48Nearly 13.

01:00:50Why?

01:00:51Did Susanna have any children before, Joseph?

01:00:55No.

01:00:56He was a bit of a miracle.

01:00:58They'd been trying for years to have a baby.

01:01:01Somehow it just hadn't happened.

01:01:06Juliet Spence is Susanna Sage.

01:01:09Robin Sage is supposedly dead wife.

01:01:12She must have got a passport in the name of Juliet Spence.

01:01:15Faked her suicide.

01:01:17Slept off the ferry into France.

01:01:18Then came back here and started a new life.

01:01:20With a new child.

01:01:22But Maggie can't be her biological daughter.

01:01:24Because Maggie's only 14 years old.

01:01:26Well, her sister says she didn't have any more kids before Joseph.

01:01:29If she isn't Juliet's child, who is she?

01:01:32Some dodgy adoption deal.

01:01:35Juliet comes to London.

01:01:37Sees her sister's files.

01:01:38She's her old self.

01:01:40She buys Maggie off one of her sister's clients.

01:01:48Look, it's getting late.

01:01:49Why don't you go home?

01:01:50I'll call into the office.

01:01:51Get them to run a check on Kate's clients 12 years ago.

01:01:54Make sure all their children are accounted for.

01:01:56I don't believe this.

01:02:20Get me a discreet check on all these families.

01:02:38Oh, and all reported cases of missing babies in London 12 to 14 years ago.

01:02:47With special attention to the area that Juliet Spence's sister worked.

01:02:50I don't believe this.

01:03:20I don't believe this.

01:03:21I don't believe this is true.

01:03:27Helen.

01:03:30Where are we going to go?

01:03:32We're not supposed to leave our assembly plants.

01:03:35All right.

01:03:35Let's have the conversation here.

01:03:48Last night.

01:03:48It was fun.

01:03:50Yes.

01:03:51It was one of other things too.

01:03:52You know that.

01:03:52I'm just trying to put things in perspective.

01:03:55Two mates away from home.

01:03:56You never lie to me.

01:03:58See?

01:03:59Sex changes everything.

01:04:01No, it doesn't.

01:04:03Fear does.

01:04:04And you've nothing to be frightened of.

01:04:05You're my confidant.

01:04:07My...

01:04:08Oh.

01:04:08Her best friend speech.

01:04:10I've been rehearsing it all day.

01:04:12And there was me thinking you were basking in the glow of last night's passion.

01:04:17You know too much about me.

01:04:20I can't honestly think I'd abuse that.

01:04:22No, not deliberately.

01:04:25It's myself I don't trust.

01:04:27My judgment.

01:04:28Oh, you think I'm a bad choice?

01:04:31Maybe.

01:04:32For me, yes.

01:04:35I'll ruin it.

01:04:35I always do.

01:04:36I won't let you ruin it.

01:04:38If you don't let me.

01:04:43I'm sorry, Tony.

01:04:44The answer's no.

01:04:47It's safe to go back in the building.

01:04:54What if that's what you want?

01:04:57I have to respect that.

01:04:58It doesn't mean I'm giving up.

01:05:03I don't think we should have this conversation in public.

01:05:30I don't believe you.

01:05:33I mean, how could you do that?

01:05:34You totally redecorated my house.

01:05:37I mean, who do you think you are interfering in my life?

01:05:40I didn't mean to upset you.

01:05:41I thought I was helping.

01:05:43Oh.

01:05:44Oh, the 8th Earl of Ashton patronising the peasants?

01:05:47Go away!

01:05:48Come in!

01:05:53You, uh, might find these interesting, sir.

01:05:56Thank you very much.

01:06:01All right.

01:06:03Come on, then, explain.

01:06:05I was letting a bunch of decorators loose in my house help me.

01:06:09Well, be honest.

01:06:09You were never going to sell the place until you'd done it up.

01:06:12And you're paying a mortgage for a flat you're not even living in.

01:06:14That is my business, not yours!

01:06:17Well, I thought we'd forged some sort of a bond here, however bizarre.

01:06:20I thought showing some concern was permitted.

01:06:23Concern?

01:06:24This is fascism.

01:06:25I mean, I don't even like duck white.

01:06:29Concerned because you're sitting there night after night avoiding the inevitable.

01:06:32If I hadn't done it, you never would.

01:06:36You patronising, sanctimonious...

01:06:40Okay.

01:06:40I have been stalling.

01:06:48I am a coward.

01:06:52Now, I'm panicking about leaving because the thought of...

01:06:55Of coming home to nothing is more scary than coming home to a mother who doesn't even know who I am.

01:07:00I just keep putting off visiting my mum because she doesn't understand that I am dismantling her life and packing it into cardboard boxes.

01:07:11Now, that is my problem.

01:07:14And I don't need you to show me that I am an inadequate human being.

01:07:20All right.

01:07:22What I did was inexcusable.

01:07:27I'm very sorry.

01:07:28But one thing you are not is an inadequate human being.

01:07:40And another thing.

01:07:43The brushwork and the pipes in the bathroom is really sloppy.

01:07:48I'll tell them.

01:07:58Work.

01:08:09Please.

01:08:15Apparently, two little girls went missing from the area that Juliet's sister covered.

01:08:20According to these, if they're alive now, they will be the same age as Maggie Spence.

01:08:25And how do you have a deuce when you've finished that?

01:08:40Detective Sergeant Havers.

01:08:42Have you found her?

01:08:43Oh, no, sorry.

01:08:45I'm just going through old case notes, seeing if we missed anything.

01:08:48Hi.

01:08:49Is your mum in?

01:09:08Someone belongs to the social?

01:09:15Do you have a social worker?

01:09:16Yeah.

01:09:18Kate, got them.

01:09:19Boys, outside.

01:09:22Have you had her long?

01:09:24Fifteen years or so.

01:09:25I'm a friend in no school.

01:09:28Are you still with the father of that, baby?

01:09:30No.

01:09:30I'd hold him to Slingy.

01:09:31Would it be easier if your husband was here?

01:09:35He left.

01:09:37A couple of years ago now.

01:09:39Started again with a new family.

01:09:43If you're a mum, you feel it differently, don't you?

01:09:48Um.

01:09:50The newspaper report said that your daughter, um, Cass, had brown hair.

01:09:57Red.

01:09:57They got it wrong.

01:10:00Red hair.

01:10:02Green eyes.

01:10:04Like her grandma.

01:10:07What happened to baby Jessie?

01:10:11I had her in the pram.

01:10:14I met my mates, all tarted up.

01:10:18They said, come for a quick drink.

01:10:23I put the pram by the open door.

01:10:24And some moron said there was a draft.

01:10:30Shut it.

01:10:36Finished my drink.

01:10:38Went out.

01:10:41She's gone.

01:10:43What happened then?

01:10:47Police came.

01:10:50The scum suggested I'd done away with her.

01:10:52Why did they think that?

01:10:57She'd broken her leg.

01:10:59Before, it wasn't me.

01:11:01It was her dad.

01:11:02He always was a clumsy prat.

01:11:06You were lucky the authorities gave you another chance.

01:11:09My husband, Chris, he loves kids.

01:11:13Kate got me off the at-risk register.

01:11:16Did a vicar come and see you recently?

01:11:18The one writing a book about losing a kid.

01:11:20I told him.

01:11:25Jessie isn't dead.

01:11:27How do you know?

01:11:30Just do.

01:11:36Can you confirm for me how old Jessie would be now?

01:11:41Fourteen.

01:11:46Come on.

01:11:47I drew a blank.

01:11:50I didn't.

01:11:51Juliet learned of Elaine's baby from her sister's files.

01:11:54She thinks 15-year-old mum, baby's already had a broken leg.

01:11:57What chance has it got?

01:11:59She stalks Elaine.

01:12:00First opportunity, snatches the baby.

01:12:02It's Inspector Lindley here, sir.

01:12:04I need you to get a team of officers to Juliet Spencer's house

01:12:06and a restaurant on suspicion of murder.

01:12:09And now...

01:12:09Tom, Andy, come with me.

01:12:11Juliet, it's me.

01:12:20Pick up the phone.

01:12:22I need to talk to you.

01:12:25I don't understand this, Juliet.

01:12:29Lindley's not want to talk to you again.

01:12:30It's my friend.

01:12:48My friend is hot...

01:12:51And now...

01:12:53I don't know.

01:13:23I don't know.

01:13:53I found it an hour ago.

01:14:03No sign of any passengers, no reported sightings.

01:14:06And there's blood on the passenger side, which indicates the girl may be injured.

01:14:10Right.

01:14:11If I were Juliette, I'd get as far as I could before the car's discovered and we're called.

01:14:16Then I'd hole up, give Maggie a chance to get some rest, move again under cover of darkness.

01:14:20Thanks.

01:14:23Where could she go, Steve?

01:14:27Anywhere.

01:14:28There's loads of outbuildings round here.

01:14:30Come on, Steve.

01:14:31If you know, tell him.

01:14:32Not for me, for the kid.

01:14:34How about in the direction of Bentham?

01:14:35Maybe she tried to get the first train out in the morning.

01:14:37Come on, that's the first place you know we'll look.

01:14:41Where are we?

01:14:41We're here, sir.

01:14:43Okay, I suggest we get men covering a six-mile radius from this point.

01:14:46If you can get them to move from the outside in, please, sir.

01:14:49We're not going to get very far on foot.

01:14:51I'll get on to it.

01:15:00I appreciate how hard this is for you, Steve, but it's over.

01:15:05No.

01:15:07Juliette pretended to be dead for 12 years.

01:15:09She took another person's identity.

01:15:11She stole her baby.

01:15:12She deceived her husband and then murdered him.

01:15:16The Juliette Spence you fell in love with never existed.

01:15:20Help me, Steve.

01:15:23Come on.

01:15:29There used to be an old railway track running through the Vale.

01:15:33They closed it down.

01:15:36She could be in the old railway building.

01:15:42Yeah.

01:15:43She could make it within three hours under reasonable cover.

01:15:46Once you're in the Vale, it's easy walking.

01:15:49Right.

01:15:50She's got a shotgun with her.

01:16:01Call the armed response unit.

01:16:32Call DCI Shepard.

01:16:52Gets me to cut their engines and pull up when they get to the corner.

01:16:56Any closer, she might spot us.

01:17:02Gets me to cut their heads.

01:17:32It's Maggie's.

01:17:33We wait for the ARU.

01:17:36Can't have our police bursting in.

01:17:38Think of Maggie.

01:17:39Juliet's got a gun.

01:17:40We take no chances.

01:17:42I see you.

01:17:43Juliet, love.

01:17:49Don't be scared.

01:17:50I'm coming in.

01:17:56I'm coming in.

01:17:57I'm coming in.

01:17:58I'm coming in.

01:17:59I'm coming in.

01:18:00I'm coming in.

01:18:01I'm coming in.

01:18:02I'm coming in.

01:18:03I'm coming in.

01:18:09I'm coming in.

01:18:10I'm coming in.

01:18:11I'm coming in.

01:18:12I'm coming in.

01:18:13I'm coming in.

01:18:14I'm coming in.

01:18:15I'm coming in.

01:18:16I'm coming in.

01:18:17I'm coming in.

01:18:18I'm coming in.

01:18:19I'm coming in.

01:18:20I'm coming in.

01:18:21I'm coming in.

01:18:22I'm coming in.

01:18:23I'm coming in.

01:18:24I'm coming in.

01:18:25I'm coming in.

01:18:26I'm coming in.

01:18:27I'm coming in.

01:18:28I'm coming in.

01:18:29I'm coming in.

01:18:30I'm coming in.

01:18:31I'm coming in.

01:18:32I'm coming in.

01:18:33I'm coming in.

01:18:34I'm coming in.

01:18:35It's Inspector Linley, Juliet.

01:18:36Why don't I just come in, huh?

01:18:37No officers.

01:18:38No guns.

01:18:39Just me.

01:18:40Just let you know it's loaded.

01:18:41Put the gun down, Juliet, love.

01:18:42Come on.

01:18:43Are you all right, Maggie?

01:18:44She's going to learn the truth soon.

01:18:49I think she'd come from you.

01:18:52Please.

01:18:54Everything I did, I did it for you.

01:19:00But you can't ask.

01:19:02You really are Robin Sage.

01:19:04He was going to take you away from me.

01:19:06They're going to put you in jail for life.

01:19:08Go ahead.

01:19:10Please, Mom, I want to go home now.

01:19:14I love you more than anything in the whole world.

01:19:18It's so long.

01:19:20Prove it.

01:19:22They're murdering two police officers in front of her.

01:19:33Sergeant!

01:19:39Jenna Sage!

01:19:40What?

01:19:41Jenna Sage, I'm arresting you for suspicion of murder.

01:19:43Trust me, other slaves!

01:19:45The caution, Sergeant!

01:19:47You do not have to say anything.

01:19:49It may harm your defense if you do not mention any questions.

01:19:51Come on, Maggie.

01:19:52Come on.

01:19:53Get out of me!

01:19:54Don't punch me!

01:19:55Just a few minutes!

01:19:56Please!

01:19:57No.

01:20:00Mom!

01:20:01She's my baby.

01:20:14No, she isn't.

01:20:17Her real mum's in London, living a nightmare every day because you decided to play judge and jury and stole her baby.

01:20:23And now Maggie, who you say means more to you than anything in the world, is left with nothing.

01:20:31No home, no friends, no family, no mother.

01:20:37Nothing, no king.

01:20:39Nothing.

01:20:43Mm-hm.

01:21:11Decided what colour to paint the new flat yet?

01:21:14Not dark white, that's for sure.

01:21:20So, what about you and Helen?

01:21:22There's always tomorrow.

01:21:24Hmm. I suppose so.

01:21:26I suppose so.

01:21:27I suppose so.

01:21:28I suppose so.

01:21:29I suppose so.

01:21:31I suppose so.

01:21:32I suppose so.

01:21:36Well...
