00:00:00...
00:00:02...
00:00:04Let's go.
00:00:34To the future.
00:00:44The future.
00:01:04To place anything to Haverson?
00:01:15No.
00:01:16I'll deal with her tomorrow.
00:01:18No!
00:01:19No!
00:01:20No!
00:01:21No!
00:01:22No!
00:01:23No!
00:01:24No!
00:01:25No!
00:01:26No!
00:01:27No!
00:01:28No!
00:01:29No!
00:01:30No!
00:01:31No!
00:02:02Oh, I'll be glad when this is over.
00:02:25He has a high opinion of your abilities.
00:02:27He won't want to lose you.
00:02:30You'll be fine.
00:02:32Thanks for your support, sir.
00:02:49It was registered to Gerard Coles four weeks ago.
00:02:58Must have cost a bob or two.
00:03:01Doesn't look like the motive was robbery, sir.
00:03:04Well done, Billy.
00:03:06Uniformed loss is our gain.
00:03:08Demoted?
00:03:08I think I made myself clear.
00:03:13But I have worked really hard to become a DS, sir.
00:03:16I had no choice.
00:03:18Well, me neither had I.
00:03:20You shot a fellow police officer with a flare gun.
00:03:24How could I condone...
00:03:25You don't.
00:03:25Saving a child's life.
00:03:28You sure that's the tone you wish to take with me?
00:03:31I'm sorry, sir.
00:03:38Does Inspector Lindy know of your decision?
00:03:40He recommended it.
00:03:44But he knows what this job means to me.
00:03:47Sir, if I could just appeal against this...
00:03:49Well, just one more chance and I swear...
00:03:52I suggest you now go to the stores...
00:03:55...where you will be issued with a uniform.
00:03:58Yes, sir.
00:04:19Pavers?
00:04:20Pavers?
00:04:22You knew, didn't you?
00:04:24Well, you did discuss it with me, yes.
00:04:26Yeah, he said you recommended it.
00:04:28No, Pavers.
00:04:29You could have at least warned me.
00:04:32But you said it would be all right.
00:04:35It will be all right.
00:04:36This is just a setback.
00:04:38Now it's up to you to...
00:04:39Sorry.
00:04:41That's Weberley.
00:04:42Yes, sir.
00:04:46Uh, right away, sir.
00:04:49I'd better, um...
00:04:51A young woman named Nicola Maiden.
00:04:58Her father's a retired superintendent from Manchester.
00:05:02His wife runs a country house hotel.
00:05:05You only had one child.
00:05:08Just a bit older than my Jenny.
00:05:12You said a double murder, sir?
00:05:14Yes, the lad she was with.
00:05:17Two kids out camping.
00:05:19Anyway, Northwest have requested assistance from another source...
00:05:23...in order to retain objectivity.
00:05:26You'll be working with the DS Hankin...
00:05:28...currently acting inspector to cover a sick leave.
00:05:33Right.
00:05:33She's pretty devastated, sir.
00:05:39Havers.
00:05:40She's lucky I've not got her on traffic duty.
00:05:44Can I ask you what you do have in mind for her?
00:05:46The best thing for her...
00:05:48...is to get out of the front line...
00:05:50...and knuckle down to some good, old-fashioned police work.
00:05:58Sir?
00:05:58We found this in the fire.
00:06:04Say no before it's too late.
00:06:06I can read, Billy.
00:06:08Can I file it?
00:06:13Hankin?
00:06:15Yeah?
00:06:18Inspector Lindley.
00:06:20That's excellent.
00:06:25Hello?
00:06:28I'm sorry.
00:06:31Derbyshire.
00:06:32Double murder.
00:06:33How long for?
00:06:35Ask a stupid question.
00:06:36I tell you what, though.
00:06:37Derbyshire is very beautiful this time of year.
00:06:39Maybe you could take a couple of days off.
00:06:41Well, I can't just drop everything.
00:06:43You're not the only one with an important job.
00:06:46All right, then.
00:06:47Let's just have fun tonight.
00:06:50I've phoned the restaurant, cancelled reservations for tomorrow night...
00:06:53...and made them tonight instead.
00:06:54There's a reason we made it tomorrow.
00:06:56I need to prepare for a meeting in the morning.
00:06:58All right, let's do it when I get back.
00:07:06So, how did it go with Barbara?
00:07:09As expected, she got demoted.
00:07:11Beverly told her that I'd recommended it.
00:07:13To save her career.
00:07:14I hope you pointed that out to her.
00:07:15Havers knows what I think of her.
00:07:18I don't have to spell it out.
00:07:22Look, I'm off first thing in the morning.
00:07:25Since you've got a lot of paperwork to do, I may as well follow suit.
00:07:30Get up to speed on the case.
00:07:32Dear Sankin, sir.
00:07:53Can I just say what a great honour it is to be working with a man of your reputation.
00:07:58Oh, thank you.
00:07:59This is...
00:08:00Billy Slavin.
00:08:02Trainee detective constable.
00:08:03He's a good lad.
00:08:04Keen.
00:08:05Willing to learn.
00:08:06Nice to meet you.
00:08:07Constable.
00:08:08Hey.
00:08:08Um, the campsite was ransacked.
00:08:12Got a valuable bike and money were left behind.
00:08:14So, beruling theft out as a motive.
00:08:17Well, unless the killer wasn't after either money or a bike.
00:08:20Yeah, yeah, obviously.
00:08:22Um, anyway, Nicola was ID'd by her father.
00:08:25Uh, Cole, that's the other victim.
00:08:28Um, 26 artists or some such.
00:08:30No real family to speak of, but he was ID'd by his landlady.
00:08:33Didn't get much out of here.
00:08:35Bit barking, if you ask me, sir.
00:08:37Anyway, sir.
00:08:39We'd really value your expertise on this one.
00:08:41Very tricky.
00:08:43See, the bodies lay out all night and it rained.
00:08:45So, with next to no forensic evidence, no murder weapons, no witnesses.
00:08:50Oh, but...
00:08:51I did find this at the site.
00:08:54Say no before it's too late.
00:08:55And it's clearly meant for Nicola.
00:08:57Do you think we're looking for more than one killer?
00:08:59No.
00:08:59Yeah, I'll let them in.
00:09:01The pathology is ready for you.
00:09:04This way, sir.
00:09:05There you go.
00:09:06There you go.
00:09:07Billy!
00:09:07Billy!
00:09:07Depressed fractures to the skull consistent with blunt trauma.
00:09:14Repeated blows, possibly a friend's attack.
00:09:17Have you any idea whether the assailant will be male or female?
00:09:20Well, from the intensity of the blows, I'd be inclined to say male,
00:09:23but it doesn't rule out a strong female.
00:09:26We found debris in the overlying laceration.
00:09:29Traces of mineral apparently consistent with stones found in the area.
00:09:32We're waiting on the lab report,
00:09:33but I'd say you're looking for a chunk of sharp edged rock,
00:09:37size of a small melon.
00:09:39I'd have hundreds to choose from up there, sir.
00:09:43We found similar fragments on the female
00:09:45and traces of the male's blood and bone.
00:09:50So they were killed by the same weapon, most likely the same person.
00:09:55You think he was killed first and she was running away?
00:09:58Yeah.
00:10:00Any indication of a sexual attack?
00:10:02No sexual injuries.
00:10:05But see this.
00:10:07She was pregnant.
00:10:10Very recently.
00:10:12But I've examined her uterus and there are no products of conception.
00:10:15A miscarriage, do you think?
00:10:17Either that or a termination.
00:10:19I'm going in and out there is another group of people who are going to be in thealks,
00:10:22but not parents.
00:10:23No.
00:10:27I'm sorry.
00:10:30No.
00:10:38No.
00:10:38Mrs. Madden?
00:11:08Yes, I'm sorry, we're...
00:11:12Oh, you must be Inspector Lindley.
00:11:16I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:11:20I expect you'd like to speak to my husband.
00:11:22He's upstairs.
00:11:31Andy, Inspector Lindley's here.
00:11:35Good. Good.
00:11:39Andy Madden.
00:11:41I'm so sorry, Mr. Madden.
00:11:42Andy.
00:11:43And thank you.
00:11:44I know it's not easy.
00:11:46Worst part of the job.
00:11:48I never got used to it, even after 30 years.
00:11:55So, this must be Nicola's room.
00:11:58She didn't live here.
00:11:59Just the odd weekend.
00:12:00She...
00:12:01She had a flat at the university.
00:12:05We don't have much to go on.
00:12:09This isn't going to be easy for you,
00:12:10but I need to get as complete a picture as I can of your daughter,
00:12:13particularly the last few days.
00:12:15Of course.
00:12:17Did she have any problems that you know about?
00:12:20Anything troubling her?
00:12:22Nicola only worried about two things.
00:12:25Exams and the dentist.
00:12:31We found the remains of a letter.
00:12:32All we could make out was say no before it's too late.
00:12:37Does that mean anything to you?
00:12:39No.
00:12:42Did Nicola have a boyfriend?
00:12:45Yes.
00:12:46Julian Britton.
00:12:48Really?
00:12:50Oh.
00:12:51The name of the other victim was Gerard Jard Cole.
00:12:53Did you know him?
00:12:55Look, I've been over all this.
00:12:57Nicola had lots of friends, Inspector.
00:12:59Male and female.
00:13:02She was a very popular girl.
00:13:05Don't you think that Julian might have had a problem
00:13:06with her going out camping with another man?
00:13:09No, you're barking up the wrong tree.
00:13:11Julian's a lovely boy.
00:13:12He was crazy about Nicola.
00:13:13Besides, I know who killed my daughter.
00:13:18Andy, you don't.
00:13:20Someone who wanted to get at me, that's who.
00:13:24I've put away some nasty pieces of work in my time.
00:13:27If they're not doing open university degrees
00:13:29or running their empire behind bars,
00:13:31then they're planning their revenge for when they get out.
00:13:37Do you have anyone specific in mind?
00:13:40No, but you've got my files at the station.
00:13:44And I've kept my diaries.
00:13:46Well, we'll definitely pursue it.
00:13:48But you do know that you cannot be actively involved in the investigation.
00:13:53Am I supposed to just stand here and do nothing?
00:13:57My daughter's been murdered.
00:13:58Do you know what that feels like?
00:13:59We should get going with a check-in at the B&B.
00:14:06Oh, no, hold on.
00:14:06I thought you were staying here.
00:14:08I don't really think it would be appropriate.
00:14:10That's quite all right.
00:14:11I've spoken to Superintendent Webberley.
00:14:13He's perfectly willing to allow it under the circumstances.
00:14:16I really am.
00:14:17Let's settle then.
00:14:18Nan's made up your room.
00:14:19Hello, darling.
00:14:27It's me.
00:14:28Just to say there's been a change of plan, Miss End.
00:14:30I'm now staying somewhere called Maiden Hall.
00:14:33It actually belongs to the parents of one of the victims.
00:14:35But I'll call you when I can.
00:14:38I'm sorry to interrupt.
00:14:40Oh, thank you.
00:14:41And I'm sorry if Andy came on a bit strong.
00:14:44It's just...
00:14:46Nicola was his world.
00:14:50Mrs. Maiden.
00:14:53Nan.
00:14:55Uh...
00:14:55Were you aware that Nicola had recently lost a baby?
00:15:00She had a termination.
00:15:02Please don't tell Andy.
00:15:04It would break his heart.
00:15:06If it becomes relevant to the investigation, I'm sure he'll find out.
00:15:09Yes, but for now.
00:15:09Oh, please.
00:15:12He could see no wrong in her.
00:15:15Dinner is at seven.
00:15:16But by the way, did Nicola have a mobile phone?
00:15:20We didn't find one.
00:15:21Yes.
00:15:23I have the number somewhere.
00:15:25Your husband seems convinced that the motive is revenge against himself.
00:15:29Andy...
00:15:30He needs to be busy.
00:15:33Be a detective.
00:15:35Let him contribute something, please.
00:15:37Of course I will.
00:15:40At the moment, it's our main line of inquiry, sir.
00:15:43Revenge against Andy Maiden.
00:15:46Yes, sir.
00:15:46Well...
00:15:47He has a very long career.
00:15:49Record number of convictions.
00:15:50I could really do with dedicating an officer solely to researching his files.
00:15:54Surely there's someone up there who could do it?
00:15:57We're pretty stretched up here, sir.
00:15:59I was wondering if you could spare Havers.
00:16:02Havers is currently on her last warning.
00:16:06I'm well aware of that, sir.
00:16:07As you said yourself, what she needs is to knuckle down to some good old-fashioned police work.
00:16:12Well, I don't want her getting off to Manchester, thinking she's in the clear.
00:16:21She won't think that, sir.
00:16:22No one should see what I've got lined up for her.
00:16:25Well...
00:16:26I don't know.
00:16:28I'll keep her on a tight rein.
00:16:30Well, you'd better.
00:16:31Because if she messes up...
00:16:33I'll take full responsibility, sir.
00:16:34Can you have it's service, please?
00:16:53Not waste any more police time.
00:16:56Sir.
00:17:00Manchester.
00:17:01Yeah, I can be in the next train.
00:17:05Totally good.
00:17:06By the way, Havers, you can leave that uniform at home.
00:17:20Mr. Britton?
00:17:23Yes?
00:17:24I'm Inspector Lindley.
00:17:27I take it you're here because of the murder of that little tart.
00:17:31I'm suddenly supposed to start liking her because she's dead.
00:17:39Julian from the back.
00:17:53Here.
00:17:54I said I didn't want anything.
00:17:56I said I didn't want anything.
00:18:01It was upsetting for me, too.
00:18:07You hated Nicola.
00:18:08I'd never wish that on her.
00:18:11I know you're upset, but it'll be okay.
00:18:14You don't know anything.
00:18:16Julian Britton?
00:18:20Yes?
00:18:21Inspector Lindley, I'm in charge of the investigation into Nicola's murder.
00:18:24I'm Samantha Blair.
00:18:25I found the body.
00:18:27Yes, I read your statement.
00:18:29Samantha's my cousin.
00:18:31Second cousin.
00:18:33Right.
00:18:34Can we have a word, please?
00:18:36In private.
00:18:43Did you know Gerard Cole?
00:18:45No.
00:18:45Isn't it rather unusual that she would go camping with another man?
00:18:50Your point being?
00:18:51My point being, did you suspect she was seeing someone else?
00:18:54She wasn't.
00:18:55Nicola loved me.
00:18:57I was speaking about getting married.
00:18:59You engaged?
00:19:01Not exactly.
00:19:02She said she wanted time to think about it.
00:19:05She said she loved me, but she didn't feel she fitted in with my family.
00:19:09Meaning my father.
00:19:10Why?
00:19:12He hated her on sight.
00:19:15Any reason you could be good?
00:19:16The drunks need reasons.
00:19:18Did you tell him that you wanted to marry her?
00:19:21We had a fight about me bringing her into his house, and I told him.
00:19:28Oh, come on.
00:19:29I'm not seriously suggesting.
00:19:31A man's blind drunk by ten o'clock every night.
00:19:35Can you think of anyone who would want to help her?
00:19:37No.
00:19:37Or write a threatening letter.
00:19:40A threatening letter?
00:19:41We found the remains of a letter at the site.
00:19:43It said, say no before it's too late.
00:19:46I know nothing about that.
00:19:49Did you know she was pregnant?
00:19:51Yes.
00:19:52Could the baby have been yours?
00:19:53Of course it was mine.
00:19:55Is that why you asked her to marry you?
00:19:57I loved her.
00:19:59Wanted the baby.
00:20:02She didn't.
00:20:04She had an abortion.
00:20:05Did you know?
00:20:15No, I didn't.
00:20:17Are you absolutely sure the baby was yours?
00:20:19Is this relevant, Inspector?
00:20:21At this stage, everything's relevant.
00:20:24I don't need to ask where you were the night before last.
00:20:27I was here.
00:20:29Daisy was dropping a litter.
00:20:31Can anyone verify that?
00:20:34I can.
00:20:35I was with him the whole time.
00:20:37I live here.
00:20:38He and Jules are renovating the house.
00:20:45Identifying a body at my time of life.
00:20:48It's been such a shock.
00:20:52How long did you call me here?
00:20:53About three years.
00:20:56The idea of him lying out there all night.
00:21:00I mean, who would do such a thing?
00:21:02Well, that's what we're trying to find out, love.
00:21:04So we could take a look at his room.
00:21:06I'll take you up.
00:21:07No, just the keys will be fine.
00:21:09Wow.
00:21:10Look at this bad boy.
00:21:13Concentrate, Billy.
00:21:15Let's just find what we're looking for.
00:21:18What are we looking for, exactly?
00:21:21Anything to tell us what the connection was between Cole and Nicola Maiden.
00:21:26What?
00:21:29Don't get paid enough for this.
00:21:31Some of these are quite good, sir.
00:21:33The guy got his head bashed in, Billy.
00:21:35It wasn't for doing some two-bit sketches you could get off any street artist.
00:21:38Hardly, sir.
00:21:39You can't get people to strip in the street.
00:21:42Give me strength.
00:21:44What do you think Cole and Nicola Maiden were doing in that tent?
00:21:49My guess is they weren't singing ging-gang, gooly-gooly.
00:21:52Sir.
00:22:00Bingo.
00:22:03Now, let's get out of here before we catch something.
00:22:08So, will you be giving up teaching to concentrate on your writing?
00:22:18Well, teaching's still really important to me.
00:22:21I've always felt my students gave me more than I ever gave them,
00:22:25so I have no plans to give up anything.
00:22:27Greg Dorn is your first novel,
00:22:29and has been described as a compelling testimony
00:22:33to love and personal honesty.
00:22:35Is it in any way autobiographical?
00:22:39All writers draw on their own life experiences,
00:22:43often in oblique ways.
00:22:46Sorry, I've dried.
00:22:47Sorry.
00:22:48Excuse me.
00:22:50Inspector Lindley, I've come to talk about Nicola Maiden.
00:22:52Oh, yes.
00:22:53Yes, of course.
00:22:54If you could excuse us.
00:22:56Sorry to interrupt.
00:22:57I tried your office.
00:22:58No, no, no.
00:22:59I don't need to apologise.
00:23:01I lectured to 500 students at the time
00:23:03without batting an eyelid.
00:23:05Stick a television camera in front of me.
00:23:07I'm a nervous wreck.
00:23:08Look, my hands are sweating.
00:23:11It's dreadful news about Nicola, Inspector.
00:23:14We're all devastated.
00:23:15I understand you were her tutor.
00:23:18Until a couple of months ago.
00:23:20She dropped out.
00:23:22Really?
00:23:24Her parents don't have the impression she was still here.
00:23:26Well, this isn't like school, Inspector.
00:23:28We don't have parents' nights and progress reports.
00:23:30Did she give any reason?
00:23:32Not really.
00:23:33She wasn't handing in assignments.
00:23:35Her attendance was getting worse and worse.
00:23:38I offered her extra tutorials,
00:23:39hoping she'd find her way back.
00:23:42But her mind was on other things.
00:23:45Was she in some kind of trouble?
00:23:46Oh, quite the opposite, as far as I was aware.
00:23:50She was from a good home.
00:23:52No financial worries.
00:23:54You know, I've got students working two and three jobs
00:23:56to see themselves through uni.
00:23:59Sometimes it's the ones that get it easy.
00:24:01They give up at the first hurdle.
00:24:03Anyway, sorry, I've not been much help.
00:24:06Did you know Gerard Cole?
00:24:09Ah, the name's familiar.
00:24:11Is he a student here?
00:24:13The other victim.
00:24:13Oh, well, that's where I've seen his name.
00:24:16I read it in the paper.
00:24:18Yeah, no, no, he wasn't one of ours.
00:24:19I really must get back.
00:24:21Good luck.
00:24:21I found this in Cole's flat, sir.
00:24:35Now, obviously, they were lovers.
00:24:37My guess is boyfriend finds out, tails her, finds them together, goes berserk.
00:24:43Maybe.
00:24:44Well, maybe he planned it.
00:24:45He claims the baby was his, and he wanted to get married to her.
00:24:49She turned him down, and then had the abortion against his will.
00:24:54That's it, sir.
00:24:55It's the classic crime passionel, as the French would say.
00:24:59You need to excuse him, sir.
00:25:00He reads a lot.
00:25:01Oh, hey, Miss.
00:25:05Um, this is Dias Hankin and D.C. Slavin.
00:25:09This is D.C. Havers, from London.
00:25:12I requested her presence.
00:25:14All right.
00:25:17Uh, also, Nicola Maiden, I've been to a flat, but I've seen she pulled out, so I'm chasing up the forward-in address.
00:25:23Has anyone been to the uni?
00:25:24Yes, I have.
00:25:25I, um, I've spoken to her tutor.
00:25:29Apparently, she dropped out.
00:25:30Why?
00:25:31I don't really know why.
00:25:33Oh, I bet her friends will know.
00:25:34I'll get chatting to some of them, and...
00:25:36No, hey, it was, uh, I've got something very particular lined up for you.
00:25:40Okay.
00:25:44Tell me this is a wind-up.
00:25:46Well, Andy Maiden thinks the killing may be payback from someone he put away.
00:25:51Here's one more here.
00:25:54Crime reports, witness statements, scene of crime details, and documentary evidence.
00:26:02I don't buy it.
00:26:04You're telling me a hardened criminal turns up and improvises?
00:26:07I don't know if that's what the killer wants us to think.
00:26:09Make it look like an amateur.
00:26:10No, the killer is an amateur.
00:26:12That campsite was a complete mess.
00:26:14A pro would have covered his tracks, hidden the fact that he was looking for something.
00:26:18I suggest you make a start.
00:26:20Why are you all assuming that Nicola was the target?
00:26:22The way I see it, he was killed first, and she was running away.
00:26:27Why don't you let me check on him?
00:26:29Your job's in here.
00:26:31A rookie could do this.
00:26:33Hey, Liz.
00:26:33Why did you get me up here?
00:26:35Maybe I wanted to keep an eye on you.
00:26:38For sight.
00:26:41Yes, sir?
00:26:44Where else would I get an experienced sergeant to work for a constable's salary?
00:26:49You're a good detective.
00:26:50Get this right, and it'd be a big step towards your reinstatement.
00:26:54You knew?
00:27:01Nicola and I fought bitterly about it.
00:27:03I begged her not to give up her education, but there was no talking to her.
00:27:08Why didn't you say something?
00:27:10I was hoping that she would come to her senses and go back.
00:27:14Then Andy would never have to find out.
00:27:16I mean, why didn't you tell me?
00:27:20I understand that you want to protect the memory of your daughter.
00:27:23The habit of a lifetime inspector, keeping difficult, unpleasant things to myself.
00:27:29All marriages have their own way of working.
00:27:32This worked for us.
00:27:36Nicola's mobile number I meant to give it to you earlier.
00:27:42Is there something else now?
00:27:50Anything.
00:27:57We had a huge row just before she died.
00:28:01I said some terrible things.
00:28:04In the end, we weren't different speaking.
00:28:09How am I going to live with that, inspector?
00:28:12I'm sorry.
00:28:14You'll have to excuse me.
00:28:30Well, there you are.
00:28:33I've not got very far.
00:28:35For every one I put away,
00:28:37ten more slipped through the net.
00:28:38I've got a very good officer doing this back at the station.
00:28:44I did 20 years in vice.
00:28:47Going undercover.
00:28:49Mixing with the sickest minds in the country.
00:28:52I've seen things.
00:28:57These days, they offer you a session with a psychologist after every encounter.
00:29:01It was not back then.
00:29:05My family and my therapy.
00:29:08My life support system.
00:29:12Some nights I'd come home with the smell of a brothel still on me.
00:29:20And just watch her sleeping.
00:29:21Maybe you shouldn't be thinking about this all the time.
00:29:27Well, what else can I do?
00:29:32Talk to Nan.
00:29:35I should have a list of names for you soon.
00:29:37I should have a list of names for you soon.
00:29:39Go on.
00:30:09What do you think about Ava's joyousness?
00:30:12Well, you're mine to question the great inspector Lindley.
00:30:15I've no idea what he's doing bringing people in from outside.
00:30:18I mean, a case like this, it's local knowledge.
00:30:21Just, uh, stretch my knees.
00:30:24Yes, Hankin?
00:30:25Yeah, up to.
00:30:28Where's this lot from?
00:30:29The campsite.
00:30:31That's what they found on Gerard Cole.
00:30:34Wasn't he an artist?
00:30:36Yeah, that's right, yeah.
00:30:37Then why's he got a student pass?
00:30:39It's not even his, it's just Tony Easton.
00:30:41Really?
00:30:42Has anyone looked into this yet?
00:30:43What's going on here?
00:30:45This should be followed up.
00:30:46It was Fern and Gerard Cole.
00:30:48Cole's not a priority at the moment.
00:30:49Certainly not for you.
00:30:51I am part of this team, in case you hadn't noticed.
00:30:55Yeah, you're right.
00:30:57And I have got a very important job for you.
00:30:59Get us a cup of tea, there's a good girl.
00:31:01What?
00:31:03What?
00:31:04Is it my accent or your ears?
00:31:06Count the stripes.
00:31:08Me, Sergeant.
00:31:09You, Plod.
00:31:10Tea.
00:31:10Two sugars.
00:31:11No milk.
00:31:12If you think that...
00:31:13Lucas, it's all right.
00:31:14I'll get the teas.
00:31:15Sergeant!
00:31:16Yes, sir?
00:31:19Can I have a word, please?
00:31:20Sir.
00:31:20Oh, did you take your tea?
00:31:30You got a car, Benny?
00:31:34Spoke to the letting agency.
00:31:36The rent's $975 a month.
00:31:38She had a flat, mate.
00:31:44Hello?
00:31:50And she had to have an employer's reference to Mr. Reeve.
00:31:55It's a PR firm in the city centre.
00:32:06Come on.
00:32:20Are you sure we should be doing this?
00:32:25I'm about 100% sure we shouldn't.
00:32:28Well, we're not going to be long ago.
00:32:30And my mum's got the tea on.
00:32:36Have you read this?
00:32:39It's really good.
00:32:41Tony Easton was in the English department,
00:32:43but he didn't complete his studies.
00:32:45His tutor was Dr. Webster.
00:32:47What?
00:32:48Gavin Webster?
00:32:49That's right.
00:32:50Cool.
00:32:50Okay, thank you.
00:32:55Good night.
00:32:55Good to see you.
00:33:11What now?
00:33:12Inspector Lindley, come to see Mr. Reeve.
00:33:28Martin Reeve, how can I help you?
00:33:30Can we come into your office, please, sir?
00:33:31Sorry, got decorators in.
00:33:33Can't swing a cap.
00:33:34I understand, sir.
00:33:34I understand Nicola Maiden worked for you.
00:33:37Yeah.
00:33:38Poor girl.
00:33:40Terrible shame.
00:33:42We're all shocked.
00:33:46Tell you what,
00:33:47we'll go across the road.
00:33:48Thanks, Susie.
00:34:04Thanks, Susie.
00:34:04You've written employee.
00:34:08That should be ex-employee.
00:34:09She didn't last long.
00:34:11Did you fire her?
00:34:12She left.
00:34:13When was this?
00:34:14About a month or so ago.
00:34:17Any reason?
00:34:18Left to move home, that's what she told me.
00:34:21Got to sell some posh boyfriend with a crumbling ancestral pile out in the peaks.
00:34:26She moved into a flat with someone called Vine Nevin.
00:34:29Doesn't ring any bells.
00:34:30Do you know if she went to another job?
00:34:32I couldn't say.
00:34:34What did she do for you, exactly?
00:34:37Usual PR stuff.
00:34:38Dealing with clients and the like.
00:34:41Did she have any qualifications in public relations?
00:34:43All I know is she was a clever girl.
00:34:46She learnt her job fast.
00:34:48I was sorry to see her go.
00:34:50Lovely girl.
00:34:51What did you pay her?
00:34:53Going right.
00:34:54Which is?
00:34:55I couldn't say off the top of me head.
00:34:58Roughly.
00:34:59I guess she must have been on at least 25k.
00:35:02Not bad for a girl that age.
00:35:04Very good.
00:35:06Doesn't explain how she could afford her flat.
00:35:08I wonder what she's been living off the last couple of months.
00:35:10Her looks, probably.
00:35:12Pretty girl like that.
00:35:13Just as I said, batter eyelids.
00:35:15Some rich sod will fuck the bill.
00:35:17Women, eh?
00:35:19Don't you just love them?
00:35:20Mrs. Webster?
00:35:31Yes.
00:35:31Er, CID.
00:35:33Is, er, your husband at home?
00:35:35Yes.
00:35:35We're in the kitchen.
00:35:37The police want to speak to you again.
00:35:44Hello, I'm D.C. Barbara Havers and this is D.C. Slaving.
00:35:48Can I just say, Mr. Webster, it's a privilege.
00:35:50I've read your book and I think it's excellent.
00:35:52The story was just excellent.
00:35:56Oh, and the ending.
00:35:58Oh.
00:35:59Yes.
00:36:00Excellent.
00:36:02Oh, well, thank you.
00:36:04Perhaps Constable Slaving would like a signed copy.
00:36:07Oh, that'd be cracking.
00:36:08Well, it's a pleasure.
00:36:10Can I get you anything?
00:36:13No, thanks.
00:36:16I see you selling.
00:36:18Are you moving far away?
00:36:19Well, no.
00:36:20We love this place, but we could use something bigger.
00:36:24I, erm, I take it this is about that poor student.
00:36:27If you could just make it out to Billy.
00:36:29Actually, I wanted to ask about another student.
00:36:31Er, Tony Easton.
00:36:34Well, I understand you were his cheater.
00:36:36Are you still in touch?
00:36:38Tony's dead.
00:36:42Oh.
00:36:45Erm, it was nearly two years ago.
00:36:49Just before his finals.
00:36:52He would have got a first, no question.
00:36:54Gavin took it very hard.
00:36:56He was very attached to Tony.
00:37:01Hey, look, I suppose it's all right to tell you.
00:37:05He came out to his parents in his first year, and they disowned him.
00:37:11Withdrawal financial support.
00:37:13He had a really tough time.
00:37:15Typical Gavin.
00:37:16He took him under his wing.
00:37:18No.
00:37:19No, not really.
00:37:20I did what any decent tutor would do.
00:37:24I encouraged him to keep going.
00:37:26How did he die?
00:37:28A diabetic coma.
00:37:30He probably didn't take enough care of himself.
00:37:33His poor parents.
00:37:35If they'd supported him, he'd still be here.
00:37:38Yes, well, don't you think?
00:37:39They must have tortured themselves with that.
00:37:42Given time, they might have come round.
00:37:43They might have made it up with him and been proud of their son.
00:37:46But now they'll never get that chance.
00:37:49They don't deserve that chance.
00:37:52As I say, Gavin took it very hard.
00:37:55He worried that there was more he could have done.
00:37:57Mum!
00:37:57Excuse me.
00:38:02Roddy, I'm coming!
00:38:06Look, um, can I ask what this is in connection with?
00:38:11Um, well, the murder of a young man named Gerard Cole.
00:38:15What does that have to do with Tony?
00:38:17Uh, well, they found his ID in Cole's wallet.
00:38:20Would you have any idea why he might have had it?
00:38:24Well, students fake up these ID cards all the time.
00:38:27A ten-minute job on the computer.
00:38:30Chances are this Gerard Cole found the name of a dead person
00:38:35and just stole his identity.
00:38:57Come on, Dad.
00:39:08Julian, Julian, is that you?
00:39:09Come on, let's get you to bed.
00:39:11Leave me.
00:39:12I'm just trying to help you.
00:39:24Trying to help.
00:39:28That's what I was trying to do.
00:39:33Trying to help you.
00:39:34What did you just say?
00:39:40Good boy.
00:39:42Good boy.
00:39:43Go, Esa.
00:40:00Go away, Sam.
00:40:11Forget her, Julian.
00:40:13She was battered to death.
00:40:16She didn't want you.
00:40:17She got rid of your baby.
00:40:19Who told you that?
00:40:21I heard the policeman tell him.
00:40:25Julian.
00:40:26Why did you lie to him?
00:40:29To help you.
00:40:31You think I need your help?
00:40:34I need you to cover for me.
00:40:36I think you've been under a lot of strain lately.
00:40:41What with this place and your dad.
00:40:45But she tipped you over the edge.
00:40:48She didn't give that for your feelings.
00:40:50Didn't realise what a wonderful person you are.
00:40:53But sometimes, Julian,
00:40:54people don't see what's right under their noses.
00:40:57I'd do anything to help you.
00:41:03Anything.
00:41:07It must have been a terrible shock for you.
00:41:09Oh.
00:41:10Do you...
00:41:11Do you think he's suffered?
00:41:14No.
00:41:15No, it would have been very quick.
00:41:17Er...
00:41:18I'll put the kettle on.
00:41:28Right.
00:41:29You've got to put these on.
00:41:30Oof.
00:41:32This is really exciting.
00:41:34With hankering, it was in and out, fast as he could.
00:41:36Oh, wham, bam.
00:41:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:41:38This must have set him back a bit.
00:41:47But no computer.
00:41:49What for?
00:41:50Making ID cards.
00:41:52I don't buy that.
00:41:53I mean, the ID didn't even have Jerry Cole's photo on it.
00:41:55What use is that?
00:41:57Remind me again.
00:41:58Why are we doing this?
00:41:59Because Hankin isn't.
00:42:01Claudette, wild and wet.
00:42:11Frolics with Francine.
00:42:15Lesbian lovers.
00:42:20Sir.
00:42:23No, I'm still hard at it, yeah.
00:42:26April 1985.
00:42:28Lunch?
00:42:31Yeah.
00:42:33No, it's all right.
00:42:34I'll find it.
00:42:36Okay, bye.
00:42:42Where were you when I called?
00:42:43In my office.
00:42:45I was in your office.
00:42:49Okay, I was doing what Hankin should be doing.
00:42:52Checking out Jerry Cole.
00:42:54I found these in his flat.
00:42:56Give me one good reason.
00:42:58Well, I am not convinced that Nicola was the main target.
00:43:01I mean, Cole was killed first and she...
00:43:02One good reason why I shouldn't report you straight to Weberley.
00:43:10Yes, Superintendent.
00:43:13No, sir, we have no definite leads at the moment.
00:43:16Our main line of inquiry is still revenge on Andy Maiden.
00:43:19She's been given the opportunity to show that she can obey orders and...
00:43:29Well, she seems to be knuckling down to it, sir.
00:43:35I agree with you on that.
00:43:44And, it's fine.
00:43:44Help me sit there for now.
00:43:46We're enjoying her Takiti Khonen's br Twin That's a dream
00:43:48of happy man who told him to be cada man in each other.
00:43:51api meu brooms.
00:43:52I love if you're powdery use them too.
00:43:53But in your own family, how can we build people on the other hand?
00:43:54I'm going to keep you with me simply to be more and comfortable with people on the other hand.
00:43:57I would recommend him, as soon as always.
00:43:58You could be left with him backstage.
00:43:59Well, you might be a challenge.
00:44:00You'll be right back.
00:44:01Don't like��를 tie that in.
00:44:02from the phone company sir a list of all calls to and from Nicola Maiden's mobile in the last three
00:44:30minutes
00:45:00excuse me I'm looking for Vy Nevin
00:45:11yeah I'm Vy

00:45:14you don't know about Nicola
00:45:16what
00:45:18Inspector Lindley can we go inside please
00:45:21don't tell me you've actually found something
00:45:29well I'd rather run it past the specter Lindley it might be nothing
00:45:34yeah I'll decide if it's nothing
00:45:36you're in the same line of work as Nicola
00:45:56you're full of plays like this
00:45:58oh I've had men like you hoity-toity marbles in the mouth got this client
00:46:06a bannister likes me in skilled uniform so you can rough me up
00:46:11Vy please
00:46:12I just want to ask you about Nicola
00:46:17what kind of trouble was she in
00:46:21Nicola could handle herself okay
00:46:23apparently not I'm sorry
00:46:30I don't think I can do this on my own
00:46:37so I'm the man trouble
00:46:45not from me
00:46:49but what you're doing isn't very safe
00:46:53especially now that you're on your own
00:46:56if you'll let me I'll talk to someone I know who can help you
00:47:00I used to wish I had Nicola's life
00:47:02she was
00:47:05beautiful
00:47:07clever
00:47:09her parents loved her
00:47:12she had a boyfriend it was crazy about her
00:47:17did you ever envy her at all
00:47:21what does that mean
00:47:22she looked out for me
00:47:24she got me off smack she got me away from Reeve
00:47:28you were working for Martin Reeve
00:47:31both of you
00:47:32yeah
00:47:34that's how we met
00:47:35at his escort agency
00:47:37why did you leave
00:47:40he was taking sixty percent
00:47:44so you decided to set up in competition
00:47:49it was Nicola's idea
00:47:51how did Reeve feel about that
00:47:55what do you think
00:47:59someone sent Nicola a letter
00:48:01telling her to say no before it's too late
00:48:04does that mean anything to you
00:48:06no
00:48:09saying no in this game is not really an option
00:48:14tell me why would a girl
00:48:16like Nicola
00:48:17who had so much going for her
00:48:19why would she become a prostitute
00:48:21oh I don't know
00:48:24kicks
00:48:25easy money
00:48:28was she interested in money
00:48:32she loved money
00:48:35she had plans
00:48:36like
00:48:37plans
00:48:38about what
00:48:41don't know exactly
00:48:43she was a clever one
00:48:45I bet there's a list of all your clients isn't there
00:48:49yeah
00:48:55suddenly I close room
00:48:59here
00:49:10you're not going to touch that
00:49:12Nicola loved this whole thing
00:49:15slept with it every night
00:49:18I'm going to keep it
00:49:23she's never let me down
00:49:27I'm not going to let her down now
00:49:29Lynley
00:49:32I've got a breakthrough sir
00:49:35Andy Maiden smashed a vice ring in 1986
00:49:39Martin Reeve was in it up to his neck
00:49:41Reeve owned a brothel that burnt down
00:49:45two prostitutes died
00:49:47Reeve sang like a bird to Andy
00:49:50grasped up his sidekicks
00:49:51Maiden had him put away for ten years
00:49:55now checked with the prison services
00:49:57turns out that when Reeve was inside
00:49:58he had a hellish time
00:49:59nobody likes a grass
00:50:01so obviously
00:50:03that's quite a grudge to carry
00:50:04interesting
00:50:06good work
00:50:07that's not all sir
00:50:09done some more digging
00:50:11turns out
00:50:12when Reeve was inside
00:50:13his wife divorced him
00:50:14emigrated to America
00:50:16and took their only kid
00:50:17a daughter
00:50:18you mean he blamed Maiden
00:50:20because he lost his daughter
00:50:21so he tried to make him suffer the same way
00:50:24give that boy a lollipop
00:50:27and
00:50:28we now know that Nicola's set up in competition
00:50:31so
00:50:32he'd want to punish her
00:50:34no motives eh
00:50:35first you have none
00:50:37then three come along all at once
00:50:39look
00:50:40constable
00:50:41you did well spotting a cross reference
00:50:43but leave the rest of the big boys yeah
00:50:45I say we bring him in
00:50:49lean on him hard
00:50:50Reeve is a distinct possibility
00:50:52but now we have a whole new line of inquiry
00:50:54Mary Nicola's background as a prostitute
00:50:56so Billy
00:50:58I want you
00:50:59to go through her book of clients
00:51:00set up some interviews
00:51:01we'll go see Reeve again
00:51:04what would you like me to do sir
00:51:06keep looking at the files
00:51:08sir
00:51:08what we've got so far
00:51:10is purely circumstantial
00:51:11how did you get in
00:51:21must give us the name of your decorators
00:51:23they're very fast aren't they
00:51:24so this is a knocking shop
00:51:26an escort agency
00:51:28you led us to believe it was a PR firm
00:51:30and so it is
00:51:32private relations
00:51:34I can't help your lazy assumptions
00:51:36hey don't get liquor with us
00:51:38we know all about you
00:51:40I wanted it on the record that I've been cooperating
00:51:42do you remember a superintendent Andy Maiden
00:51:46no should I
00:51:48oh come on
00:51:49he's only the guy that got you put away
00:51:50what if he was
00:51:52so isn't it rather ironic
00:51:53that his daughter should end up working for you
00:51:56and how ironic that she should end up doing the dirty on you
00:51:59and ended up dead
00:52:00how ironic's that
00:52:01how ironic that I don't give a toss
00:52:05so
00:52:06Nicola took Vi Nevin
00:52:09past their clients
00:52:10and all their income
00:52:11and you spot a chance for double revenge
00:52:14what are you accusing me of
00:52:17where were you on the night of the 30th
00:52:19between 8 and 10
00:52:19I spent the night with Tanya
00:52:22one of me girls
00:52:23any witnesses
00:52:24I don't like being watched on the job
00:52:28do you?
00:52:30we want to talk with your Tanya
00:52:32she's not the type to kiss and tell
00:52:34and I want a full list of your clients
00:52:36and everyone who's worked for you
00:52:37well but King's not really me strong point
00:52:40but
00:52:40right
00:52:40just one more smart Alec comment out of you
00:52:43be my guest
00:52:58who is it?
00:53:07um
00:53:07it's me
00:53:08Barbara
00:53:08oh come in
00:53:10I'm sorry
00:53:10the front door was open
00:53:11it's alright
00:53:12it doesn't seem right
00:53:14does it?
00:53:16but I had to get ready
00:53:16for a new tenant
00:53:17what am I going to do
00:53:21with all Jerry's things
00:53:22his clothes
00:53:24and all these drawings
00:53:25did you know Tony Easton?
00:53:30oh good lord
00:53:31yes
00:53:32he was a tenant of mine
00:53:34he lived here with Jerry
00:53:35they were always broke
00:53:38the pair of them
00:53:40yeah
00:53:41the hi-fi seems pretty new
00:53:43but only a brand new bike
00:53:45did Jerry just come in some money?
00:53:49well
00:53:49things were beginning to pick up for him
00:53:51he said Tony was looking after him
00:53:55from beyond the grave
00:53:56mind I
00:53:58I never thought Jerry was a believer
00:54:01earlier we found a pile of prostitute cards
00:54:06oh I know
00:54:07he was always bringing them home
00:54:09had them up here for hours on end
00:54:11they were models for his artwork
00:54:14I'm not silly
00:54:18Jerry
00:54:19Jerry wasn't interested in girls
00:54:21not like that anyway
00:54:23Tony and he
00:54:26oh
00:54:26lovely couple
00:54:28at least they're together again now
00:54:34that's a great comfort to me
00:54:37I had my suspicions
00:54:45something about her
00:54:48something
00:54:49knowing
00:54:51a hardness
00:54:53the last time I saw
00:54:56the time we had that terrible fight
00:55:00I'd answered her phone
00:55:01it was in her bag
00:55:03it was a man
00:55:07what he said
00:55:09no mother should ever have to
00:55:11anyhow
00:55:14I
00:55:14found money there as well
00:55:16over 500 pounds
00:55:19Nicola caught me looking in her bag
00:55:22and that was
00:55:22inspector
00:55:27does my husband have to know about this
00:55:31perhaps you should be the one to tell him
00:55:36I can't
00:55:38our marriage was about Andy's job
00:55:43he needed a haven
00:55:45a wife
00:55:46but
00:55:48really I could have been anyone
00:55:51are you married inspector?
00:55:57yes
00:55:57do you talk to your wife?
00:56:01I call her every night
00:56:06when I'm away
00:56:07oh
00:56:09do you know where I'd find Andy?
00:56:24Martin Reeve
00:56:25do you remember the case?
00:56:27I remember every case
00:56:29he ran a brothel
00:56:31he still does
00:56:34there's no easy way to tell you this Andy
00:56:40Nicola worked for Reeve
00:56:46no you made a mistake
00:56:48she was a student at the university
00:56:51she dropped out and went to work for him
00:56:54no
00:56:55until a few weeks ago
00:56:57when she moved into a flat
00:56:58with a friend
00:56:59Vi, Nevin
00:56:59and then they worked out of there by themselves
00:57:01no I'm sorry
00:57:02I'm not accepting this
00:57:03it is outrageous
00:57:03I'm sorry
00:57:04please Andy
00:57:04I wouldn't tell you this
00:57:06if there was any doubt at all
00:57:07it's my daughter you're talking about
00:57:09my Nicola
00:57:10I'm so sorry
00:57:13this puts Reeve firmly in the frame
00:57:22you know
00:57:22he's got the motive
00:57:24flimsy alibi
00:57:25he didn't do it
00:57:29why would he
00:57:30he did put him away for ten years
00:57:33while he was inside
00:57:34he lost his daughter
00:57:35he might hold you responsible for that
00:57:36turned my Nicola into a slab of meat
00:57:41to be poured over by strangers
00:57:44cheating on their wives
00:57:47acting out their depraved fantasies
00:57:51he'd had his revenge
00:57:55let's get back to the housing
00:58:00Nan is as upset as you are
00:58:07for God's sake
00:58:09you never told her surely
00:58:10well she knew already
00:58:12at least she suspected
00:58:13well she never said anything
00:58:16I'll never forgive her
00:58:17never
00:58:17don't be angry with Nan
00:58:19she knew what Nicola was
00:58:21and she loved her anyway
00:58:22it was my fault wasn't it
00:58:29I tried to make her into something she wasn't
00:58:34that's what you're saying isn't it
00:58:36so she kicked back at me
00:58:41don't blame yourself
00:58:44you could do what any parent would do
00:58:47have you got children?
00:58:58talk to her
00:58:59no I can't
00:59:02I can't face her
00:59:03you need each other now
00:59:05I'm sorry

00:59:43Ridley
00:59:45DS Ankin told me to look through
00:59:47Reeves' client list sir
00:59:49and
00:59:49well
00:59:50I checked it against Nicola Maidens
00:59:52and I think I found something
00:59:54Nicola took all her clients with her
00:59:56except one
00:59:57well done
01:00:03you could have told me that Nicola was a prostitute
01:00:06I did
01:00:07I told you she was a little tart
01:00:09and you were one of her clients
01:00:11how did it feel when your son brought her home as his girlfriend?
01:00:14I thought we might be eligible for a family discount
01:00:17how do you think I felt?
01:00:19I want a sample of your handwriting
01:00:20why?
01:00:24letter to Nicola

01:00:37where were you on Monday night?
01:00:38oh please inspector

01:00:55Jack Daniels
01:00:57are you sure you didn't know Gerard Cole?

01:04:50I heard him telling that policeman

01:05:59Andy?
01:06:03come on up
01:06:04I don't know
01:06:20I don't know
01:06:20what you're talking about
01:06:31Thank you, Charles.
01:07:01Miss Nevin. Bye.
01:07:22Reeves, your man. I'd state my career on him. I still say bring him in. Give me a shot at him, sir. I'll crack him.
01:07:30I don't think so. Green tea? No. What? You don't think I've got it in me?
01:07:35I don't think it's a wise move, letting him see our hand. With no hard evidence when we have to wait till he drips himself up.
01:07:42I'll kill him again. Excuse me. That'll be my wife.
01:07:49Hi, Dave. Oh, hello. I'm at Vine Evans' flat. You'd better get over here, sir.
01:08:00It's сек. It's no matter what anyone got.
01:08:03Oh, this ain't no time sticking out.
01:08:05You just want to do it. This ain't so smart.
01:08:12You don't always cry. Take it.
01:08:15It looks soесс outraged in his head.
01:08:17You just saw him bring in.
01:08:19You just saw him say, you know, how was your son?
01:08:22Oh, Andy.
01:08:52I just wanted to talk to her.
01:09:01I thought that she might, you know, open up to me.
01:09:04After I specifically asked you not to come here.
01:09:06Yeah, but we are missing something. Something to do with Jerry Cole.
01:09:09I wanted to ask her about him because I think that we should be looking to...
01:09:12Stop there, Avers. You are now officially off this case.
01:09:16Sir, please, if you would...
01:09:17There's a woman lying dead there. This is neither the time nor the place for this conversation.
01:09:22Give your witness statement to one of our officers.
01:09:25Then, first thing tomorrow, you head back to London and you report to Webberley.
01:09:30Sir?
01:09:30Yes, Billy?
01:09:32I phoned this, sir.
01:09:34I'll get it dusted for prints and have it analysed.
01:09:36Breakthrough, sir. Neighbours report seeing a man running towards a black BMW.
01:09:40Wire edge.
01:09:42Reeve.
01:09:43Bring him in.
01:09:44Yes. I knew I was right.
01:09:52Tell us what you were doing in Vine Evans' flat tonight.
01:09:55I wasn't there.
01:09:56We found a bag of heroin at the victim's flat with your fingerprints all over it.
01:10:01So, I gave it her ages ago.
01:10:04A man matching your description was seen running to his car. A car very much like yours.
01:10:09It's a coincidence, must be.
01:10:10We've got eyewitnesses.
01:10:12We can organise a line-up.
01:10:13All right.
01:10:20I was there.
01:10:21I knew it.
01:10:22Go on, Mr Reeve.
01:10:24I went to see her.
01:10:26Took her a little present just to ease the way.
01:10:29Good quality of gear it was, too.
01:10:32Now, I am cooperating again.
01:10:35I don't care about your cooperation.
01:10:38Was that the only reason you went?
01:10:39Maybe it was a bit of a friendly warning.
01:10:44I've got a good little business going here.
01:10:46Suddenly, I've got you lot breathing down my neck.
01:10:49I knew you'd be talking to her.
01:10:51I just wanted to...
01:10:52You brought her up once and for all?
01:10:53No!
01:10:54Tiny slip of a girl.
01:10:55She wouldn't stand a chance.
01:10:57She was fine when I left her.
01:10:59So, why didn't you tell us that before, then?
01:11:01What do you think?
01:11:02Because you killed her.
01:11:03Why would I?
01:11:05She was a good little earner.
01:11:07She'd have been back.
01:11:08Do you know how much clients will pay
01:11:11for someone who looks 11 years up?
01:11:14I mean, what use is she to me, dead?
01:11:16I mean, not that I don't have some kicky customers,
01:11:18but she'll be pretty soon past her cell by day.
01:11:21You know what I mean, eh?
01:11:22You're sick.
01:11:24I'm charging you with the...
01:11:25Sergeant.
01:11:27Can we have a word?
01:11:31I'm in the middle of an interview.
01:11:33Yeah, charging with living with immoral earnings
01:11:35or being concerned in the supply of heroin.
01:11:36We're through in attempting to pervert the course of justice.
01:11:40But not murder.
01:11:41His fingerprints don't match those on the murder weapon.
01:11:45Well, if he didn't do it, who the hell did?
01:11:48Sir, there's someone to see you.
01:11:53Samantha?
01:11:56Who did this to you?
01:11:58He did.
01:11:59Julian Britton.
01:12:00What happened?
01:12:03I'm sorry, Inspector.
01:12:05You remember I told you I was with him
01:12:07the night Nicola was killed?
01:12:09Well, I lied.
01:12:11I know that.
01:12:12Why?
01:12:13He made me do it.
01:12:15But I felt really bad about it.
01:12:17I told him I was going to come and tell you the truth,
01:12:19and he just went crazy and started kicking and punching me
01:12:23and said he'd do to me what he did to Nicola.
01:12:26I thought he was going to kill me.
01:12:30But I got away.
01:12:34Take her to the police sergeant straight away.
01:12:35Well done, sir.
01:12:56So now I'll be downstairs.
01:13:01Sir!
01:13:03Right.
01:13:04Come on.
01:13:05Mr. Britton.
01:13:07Come on.
01:13:07Mr. Britton.
01:13:09That's enough, sergeant.
01:13:13Is that you, Julian?
01:13:16We're the police, Mr. Britton.
01:13:18Do you know where your son is?
01:13:20Such a good boy.
01:13:23Always trying to help.
01:13:24He's done a runner.
01:13:40Right.
01:13:40Search the grounds.
01:13:41Put out an alert.
01:13:42But if he's detained,
01:13:43I don't want anyone to interrogate him until I get there.
01:13:45Right?
01:13:46I mean anyone.
01:13:47I'm sorry.
01:13:47I'm sorry.
01:13:48I'm sorry.
01:13:48I shall say, come on.
01:13:49Have a great day.
01:13:49Come on.
01:13:50I hope you can see him.
01:13:52The next train is the car of Baccholm Center.
01:13:59The view is 1627.
01:14:01This is a service to the local museum.
01:14:04The call of the Stottomolk,
01:14:06but as we go to the Elsinfield Center,
01:14:09one of the production and other local museums
01:14:12is at Baccholm Center.
01:14:14The system.
01:14:22Okay.
01:14:29Thanks.
01:15:15Bye again.
01:15:17Come on.
01:15:47It's Julian Bretman.
01:15:54Suicide.
01:15:55Looks like an admission of guilt to me.
01:15:58Or despair.
01:16:00Well, he knew the net was closing in.
01:16:01Takes the coward's way out.
01:16:03Looks like we can close the case.
01:16:04And can I say, sir, it's been a pleasure working with you.
01:16:07This case isn't closed yet, Sergeant.
01:16:10We need to take his prints and see if they match.
01:16:15You'd better be on that London train.
01:16:16Sir, I think I've cracked it.
01:16:37This had better be good.
01:16:38I found this in Gavin Webster's office.
01:16:41He was having an affair with one of his students, Tony Easton, who was Jerry Cole's lover.
01:16:45Now, Tony died last year, and Webster never got over it.
01:16:49What has this got to do with anything?
01:16:50Well, Webster lied to me about knowing Cole.
01:16:53I saw something in his flat if I could just find it.
01:16:56You have no idea the trouble you're in, do you?
01:16:58A breach of discipline doesn't begin to describe it.
01:17:00Yes.
01:17:03Yes.
01:17:04This is Cole's writing, yet it's the same quote in the front of Gavin Webster's book.
01:17:09Now, Webster denied ever knowing Cole, yet this shows that he was involved with him in some way.
01:17:14But it's too much to be a coincidence.
01:17:16Now, he was in love with Tony.
01:17:20Well, I reckon he was jealous of Cole, and that's why he killed him.
01:17:23Okay, um, maybe Cole threatened to tell Webster's wife that he was gay, and he was blackmailing him,
01:17:31and there were large cash withdrawals on his bank statements.
01:17:34So why would he kill Vine Evan?
01:17:35What was he looking for at the murder scene?
01:17:37Well, maybe there's photos of them together somewhere.
01:17:39Ask him.
01:17:40Bring him in.
01:17:41It's the only way that we...
01:17:42We?
01:17:42Havers, there is no we.
01:17:43I thought I made that clear when I said you were off this case.
01:17:46Well, you can't ignore this.
01:17:48You said yourself that Vine Evan was terrified.
01:17:50Well, maybe she was hiding something.
01:17:52All you've done so far is dig up some dirt on the man's private life, if that.
01:17:58Besides, we think we know who the killer is.
01:18:00Who?
01:18:01It doesn't concern you.
01:18:04I suggest that you phone for a taxi and go to the railway station.
01:18:12Bad news, sir.
01:18:19Julian Britton's prints aren't the ones on the weapon that killed Vine Evan.
01:18:25Thought we were about to wrap this one up.
01:18:27Looks like we're back at square one.
01:18:28I'm going to read a few passages and then I'll answer any questions.
01:18:51Love binds our bodies and frees our souls.
01:19:11Thanks, mate.
01:19:12I've asked myself that many times and the answer is I don't know where it came from.
01:19:25I've come to accept that writing is a gift.
01:19:28A mysterious and beguiling gift.
01:19:31What Sylvia Plath calls that rare and random descent.
01:19:36A mysterious and beguiling gift.
01:20:06Do you recognise these words?
01:20:11Yes.
01:20:13This is Cole's handwriting.
01:20:15Look at the date.
01:20:19That's before your book was published.
01:20:23If you didn't know Cole, how could he have written these words?
01:20:25Well, it's perfectly simple.
01:20:32I let Tony see an early draft of my book.
01:20:37He must have picked up on it and repeated it to this Gerard Cole.
01:20:43Sir, I've got something you need to see.
01:20:45Excuse me.
01:20:58Avers, I can't.
01:20:59Sir, please.
01:21:01This evidence is crucial.
01:21:02You didn't write Grey Dawn.
01:21:10Tony Easton did.
01:21:12This is meaningless.
01:21:14I sent Tony my first draft and he changed the names for a joke.
01:21:17Ah, then how do you explain this?
01:21:21Dear Tony, thank you for letting me read Grey Dawn.
01:21:25It is an outstanding piece of writing which must be published.
01:21:29I have every faith in you and will support you in any way I can.
01:21:33Yours in admiration, Gavin.
01:21:36Why did you publish his book as your own?
01:21:41I didn't.
01:21:41We have the original manuscript.
01:21:44And this letter proves that the work isn't yours.
01:21:47I didn't do it lightly.
01:21:50Excuse me.
01:21:51We're supposed to be investigating a murder, not plagiarism.
01:21:54Go on.
01:21:59Tony meant a great deal to me.
01:22:04I was the only one he trusted with his work.
01:22:06Now and then,
01:22:11I gave him some money,
01:22:17bought his dinner,
01:22:24and he said
01:22:25one day he'd pay me back.
01:22:29Well, in a way, that's how I saw it.
01:22:38Besides, who could it hurt?
01:22:41His memory.
01:22:43His family.
01:22:45His family had disowned him.
01:22:47They deserved nothing from him.
01:22:49And you did?
01:22:51So, you stole from Tony?
01:22:53No.
01:22:59I just borrowed from him.
01:23:02I thought it would open doors for my own writing.
01:23:07I never expected this degree of success.
01:23:09Whoever killed Nicola Maiden,
01:23:16Gerard Cole, and Vi Nevin was looking for something.
01:23:19This was it, wasn't it?
01:23:21The manuscript on this disc.
01:23:23How should I know?
01:23:25Was Cole blackmailing you?
01:23:27No.
01:23:27I found this
01:23:29in Vi and Nicola's flat.
01:23:32They were in it, weren't they?
01:23:35Cole suddenly had money to burn.
01:23:36And if we look in your bank details,
01:23:38we will see that you have withdrawn
01:23:39large sums of cash.
01:23:41We found very clear fingerprints
01:23:43on the weapon that killed Vi.
01:23:46You don't mind if we take yours,
01:23:47just to make sure they don't match?
01:23:49I don't know.
01:23:50I don't know.
01:23:50I don't know.
01:23:51I don't know.
01:23:51I don't know.
01:23:52Cole was blackmailing me.
01:23:59He said he had proof Tony had written the book.
01:24:05For it to go to the press.
01:24:10I gave him 5,000 pounds.
01:24:16Which I could ill afford.
01:24:17I thought I got an advance of 2,000.
01:24:23It would take years for Oakley's to come in.
01:24:27But Cole wanted another 10,000, you see.
01:24:32In return for his evidence.
01:24:37When I got there, he changed his mind.
01:24:42Why let go of a good thing, he said.
01:24:44So then you murdered them.
01:24:49And then when you couldn't find this at the campsite,
01:24:52you went to the flat.
01:24:54And you killed Vi Nevin.
01:24:57No.
01:25:00It wasn't like that.
01:25:06I was angry.
01:25:10He was laughing at me.
01:25:12I didn't want to kill anyone.
01:25:19Least of all, Nicola.
01:25:22I didn't want to kill anybody.
01:25:26I just...
01:25:27I just wanted to make my wife proud.
01:25:35Three murders.
01:25:37She must be very proud.
01:25:39OK.
01:25:44It's this morning, isn't it?
01:26:02It's what this morning?
01:26:02Sir, he's ready to see us.
01:26:07Right.
01:26:09I'll meet you outside when he's off in a minute.
01:26:13I'm not involved in briefing Webley, am I?
01:26:15No.
01:26:18Look, a lot of the work you did up there was wonderful,
01:26:20and I'll make sure that Webley knows about it.
01:26:22Right, John, see how you...
01:26:23It's only the facts.
01:26:26It's a matter of wreck.
01:26:29Hankin was my DS.
01:26:32Sorry.
01:26:33It's not what this case is about.
01:26:36Somebody's stealing Summer's idea and taking credit for it.
01:26:40Well, as you would say, sir, how ironic.
01:26:44Fine.
