00:00:00You
00:00:30Stop them all, wait, wait!
00:00:59Come on in.
00:01:04Put in a call.
00:01:05Tiles are on order.
00:01:09So, how did you do it with Simon?
00:01:12Yeah.
00:01:14Yeah, no, it was nice.
00:01:16Decent grab?
00:01:17Um, four out of five, I reckon.
00:01:20What do you have?
00:01:22I had the garginelli.
00:01:24It was charred.
00:01:26Or any of her famous actual food,
00:01:28because, you know, I've never heard of them.
00:01:29What, you said you'd eaten there before?
00:01:31Yeah, well, when it was still a proper pub.
00:01:33I had the ham, egg and chips.
00:01:35Jam, roly-poly and custard.
00:01:40Sorry to interrupt your phone.
00:01:42I need you two to get over to Fakenham.
00:01:46Missing person.
00:01:47Who's the subject?
00:01:48Gemma Hastings, 24, report filed by one of her colleagues.
00:01:52Works at Clyde & Sons.
00:01:55Posh estate agents.
00:01:56Uniform followed it up, but no show.
00:01:58So, I've upgraded the risk level.
00:02:00I need you two to get over there.
00:02:01Good morning.
00:02:14Morning.
00:02:16Inspector Lindley, Three Counties Major Crime.
00:02:18Is your manager here, please?
00:02:20Tommy?
00:02:22Tommy?
00:02:23Oh, my God.
00:02:23Helen.
00:02:24What are you doing here?
00:02:26God, sorry.
00:02:27I mean, how long's it been?
00:02:28Um, it must be nine years.
00:02:30Yeah.
00:02:31It's graduation weekend.
00:02:33Um.
00:02:35Oh.
00:02:35Hi.
00:02:36Hi.
00:02:36So, you two know each other, then?
00:02:41Yeah, Helen and I were at Oxford together.
00:02:44Hmm.
00:02:44Same college.
00:02:45Oh, yeah.
00:02:46I thought you might have mentioned Oxford a couple of times.
00:02:48I didn't know you were based around here.
00:02:50Yeah, I'm working at Horst.
00:02:52I thought you went into the Met.
00:02:54Eight years.
00:02:55You been keeping towers on me?
00:02:57Yeah, I might have seen you in the papers a few years ago.
00:03:00But what about you?
00:03:01You're an estate agent.
00:03:03Family owns the business for generations.
00:03:04I remember your father's speech at your 21st.
00:03:09Sorry.
00:03:10Just of all the people to walk through my door.
00:03:12Balliol's own Prince Charming.
00:03:13What?
00:03:16So, can I help or what brings you here?
00:03:19Uh, yeah, you filed a report at the station.
00:03:23Of course.
00:03:24You're here for Gemma.
00:03:25Um.
00:03:25Let's try this way.
00:03:29Have a seat.
00:03:30Thanks.
00:03:34Gemma is my number two.
00:03:37Nice girl.
00:03:37Really lovely.
00:03:38She's, um, only been here a few months.
00:03:40And you reported I missing?
00:03:42Yes.
00:03:42So she didn't come into work on Friday and then the same thing Monday.
00:03:46So I came into the station.
00:03:48Has she got a family?
00:03:49A boyfriend?
00:03:50Flatmate.
00:03:50Fraser.
00:03:51I spoke to him.
00:03:52He said he's not seen us since Thursday evening.
00:03:54And I'm really worried.
00:03:56But Fraser said her car's sitting outside in the street.
00:03:58Smothered in parking tickets.
00:03:59I think something's happened.
00:04:00Well, there may be a perfectly harmless explanation.
00:04:02An impulse holiday with a friend, perhaps.
00:04:04No.
00:04:05The thing about Gemma is she lives her life by timetables.
00:04:08That if she was going away, there's no way she'd leave without telling me.
00:04:14We've had clients phoning.
00:04:16She's not been turning up to appointments.
00:04:19Can I take a look at her email traffic?
00:04:21Yes.
00:04:25Could you give us a list of possible contacts?
00:04:28Friends?
00:04:28Well, I don't know much about her private life.
00:04:31And to be honest, I'm not sure that she really had one.
00:04:34She worked long hours.
00:04:35She did weekends.
00:04:36She was quiet.
00:04:39Kept herself to herself.
00:04:48Uh, sir?
00:04:55What do you make of this?
00:04:58Uh, can we take the laptop?
00:05:01Yeah, sure.
00:05:01Absolutely.
00:05:09So, who is she then?
00:05:11At this stage, you know as much as I do.
00:05:13Oh, I'm talking about Helen Clyde.
00:05:16Or my shag.
00:05:17You really think that's an appropriate question, do you?
00:05:22Right.
00:05:22Bullseye.
00:05:23Okay.
00:05:25I told you, we were at Oxford together.
00:05:27Same staircase.
00:05:28Yeah.
00:05:29Okay, Prince Charming.
00:05:30You flushed pink when you saw her.
00:05:31That's all I'm saying.
00:05:32No, I didn't.
00:05:32Yeah.
00:05:33And don't call me that again unless you want an immediate transfer of my team.
00:05:36This is the first time I'm seeing you lose your cool.
00:05:39What is it?
00:05:39She'll break your heart.
00:05:41That never really happened between us.
00:05:42Why not?
00:05:42Well, most of the time she was with my best friend.
00:05:45Was he the son of an Earl, too?
00:05:47Are you enjoying this?
00:05:49Yeah.
00:05:49Yeah, I'm starting to.
00:05:52Makes one of us.
00:05:53Mm-hmm.
00:05:54How long have you been living together?
00:06:05Oh, we're not together.
00:06:06I meant as flatmates.
00:06:08Oh, right.
00:06:08Um, a couple of mums.
00:06:10Gemma answered my ad.
00:06:12Oh.
00:06:12So you don't know her that well?
00:06:14No.
00:06:14No, I already said all this to the other officers.
00:06:16I mean, she's pretty easy to live with.
00:06:19Very private person.
00:06:21Quiet type.
00:06:22Sir.
00:06:25That's good to know.
00:06:26Um, bagger.
00:06:28Does she have any visitors?
00:06:31None not at all.
00:06:32What about a partner?
00:06:34Uh, I got the impression she'd sort of left that all behind.
00:06:41Well, there was a bloke.
00:06:43Been together years, broke up.
00:06:45You know the circumstances?
00:06:47Other than it was her decision.
00:06:50She told me he was pretty cut up.
00:06:52Do you know his name?
00:06:53No.
00:06:54Where was this?
00:06:55She didn't say.
00:06:57She just said she wanted to come here and make a fresh start.
00:07:00Are you in the same business as her?
00:07:01No, I work at Templars.
00:07:03A school teacher.
00:07:04Year twos.
00:07:05Little ones.
00:07:05What about Gemma's family?
00:07:07Uh, dad died a while back.
00:07:09Mother's in her home.
00:07:12Dementia.
00:07:16So, um, tell us about the last time you saw her.
00:07:22Uh, Thursday night.
00:07:24About seven o'clock.
00:07:28She was getting ready to go out.
00:07:30I saw her for a moment and then she was gone.
00:07:32Went straight out.
00:07:33So, if she's missing all weekend, how come we didn't contact anyone?
00:07:43She comes and goes as she pleases.
00:07:44We don't live in each other's pockets.
00:07:46Yeah.
00:07:46Fraser, did she receive any unwanted attention?
00:07:49A string email sort of thing?
00:07:51Uh, not that I'm aware.
00:07:55I'll let you know if we get any more information.
00:07:57Uniform went door-to-door.
00:08:02Checked all guard cameras and nothing.
00:08:04There's no CCTV either.
00:08:07Street of a thousand rentals.
00:08:10Somebody must know something.
00:08:27Okay, here we go.
00:08:44A bloke named Gareth Burns.
00:08:45Look, see?
00:08:46This guy.
00:08:47He's on his socials.
00:08:48There's a bunch of pictures of them together and then suddenly they just stopped.
00:08:51So, I guess that's when they broke up.
00:08:52According to this, he works at ISO Case Technology in Gateford.
00:08:55Well, let's go pay him a visit.
00:09:00Inspector Lindley, DS Habers.
00:09:02Here to see, uh, Gareth Burns.
00:09:04Mr. Burns' office is at the back.
00:09:09Uh, three months.
00:09:11A little more.
00:09:12End of June.
00:09:12And that's the last time you saw her?
00:09:14Well, you know how it is.
00:09:15Uh, we split up.
00:09:17She moved out.
00:09:17End of.
00:09:18I hope you don't mind my asking.
00:09:19But was the split amicable?
00:09:21Well, there's, uh, as amicable as it could be.
00:09:24I guess, under the circumstances.
00:09:27Yeah.
00:09:28Sorry?
00:09:30We were engaged.
00:09:32Due to be married.
00:09:34Next year.
00:09:35And she broke it off?
00:09:36Yeah.
00:09:37So, not amicable at all then, really?
00:09:40I'm sorry, what's this, uh, what's this about?
00:09:42Gemma's gone missing.
00:09:44Hasn't been seen for four days.
00:09:46Jesus, you're kidding, what?
00:09:48She left her apartment Thursday evening, not been seen since.
00:09:50By anyone, so.
00:09:52Would you say that's like her?
00:09:53No, I mean, I would say that was totally out of character.
00:09:57But, uh, well, I guess I didn't know her as well as I thought I did.
00:10:01Oh, sorry, but what's that supposed to mean exactly, Gareth?
00:10:04Well, we had our whole future planned.
00:10:07We bought a place together, picked out furniture, you know?
00:10:10And what made her break off?
00:10:12Well, you'd have to ask her then.
00:10:14Well, she's missing and we can't find her right now,
00:10:16so you'll have to fill in the blanks.
00:10:18Did you have any recent online contact with her?
00:10:21Emails or what?
00:10:22No, no, no, not since we, not since we split up.
00:10:34Uh, wait, wait, is that why you're here?
00:10:38You, you think I've done something to her?
00:10:40Am I a suspect?
00:10:41No, no, no, we're just, we were eager to find her, that's all.
00:10:44There's an email address.
00:10:48Recognize it?
00:10:52Never used it.
00:10:54No, no, sorry.
00:10:56What do you reckon?
00:11:00You thinking he's our emailer?
00:11:02I'm thinking that guy has money.
00:11:04Must be on a decent salary doing what he's doing, tech development.
00:11:08So, so what?
00:11:09So, Gemma Hastings leaves him,
00:11:11drives a hundred miles to live in a box room in a damp flat share.
00:11:16Whatever she was running from must have been pretty painful.
00:11:18No, no, no, no, no.
00:11:26Why is that no?
00:11:39No, no, no, no.
00:11:40Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:41No, no, no.
00:11:42No, no, no, no.
00:11:43No, no.
00:11:44I'm trying to take a deep breath, right? You've got to relax. What's up? What's that, then?
00:12:04His breathing's kind of funny.
00:12:06Dad? Dad? Call them it is.
00:12:10Dad? One breath, two breaths.
00:12:13One breath, two breaths, come on.
00:12:40One breath, two breaths.
00:12:43One breath, two breaths.
00:12:49One breath, two breaths.
00:12:53One breath, two breaths.
00:12:55We're looking at a chest infection. Temperature's dropped. With your husband's chronic emphysema, a chest infection is never a welcome visitor. We run a course of antibiotics, but we need to keep him in for observation overnight.
00:13:14Thank you, Doctor.
00:13:17There's nothing in her email trash. Whatever he sent her has been deleted. And there's no phone triangulation either. Thursday night, her mobile just went dead.
00:13:33Family? Her mother's in a home in Walsall. One of the carers tried to tell her, but they're not sure she even registered it.
00:13:38Any other contact?
00:13:39Well, we went and saw her ex-boyfriend. His split was kind of acrimonious.
00:13:43We're checking his movements, sir.
00:13:44What about friends?
00:13:45Well, she's new to the area, hasn't really established any.
00:13:47Clients? You know, someone she might have met at work.
00:13:49Yeah, we're trolling through Villis, but so far nothing.
00:13:51Oh, you're kidding me.
00:13:52Well, I know it's a bit odd, but, you know, she hasn't really put down roots yet.
00:13:55Well, who was the recipient of the email?
00:13:57Technical support is still working on it, but they think he was using a VPN blocker. Mask his address.
00:14:01So, we think she has a stalker. Gives us two possibilities.
00:14:05Either she went on the run to get away from him, or...
00:14:07She may be the victim of an abduction.
00:14:12Okay, I, uh, I need to tell you both something. Um...
00:14:17Roland Clyde is a good friend of the Chief Superintendent.
00:14:20Owns the estate agent, top end of the property market.
00:14:23I've told him we'll make finding her our top priority.
00:14:26Now, I've already upgraded her to high risk.
00:14:27I want a team of officers combing the area.
00:14:30Park, Scrubland, building sites.
00:14:32Could do an appeal.
00:14:33What?
00:14:34TV.
00:14:35Local networks.
00:14:37See if someone comes forward with more information.
00:14:40Good friend. I know what that means.
00:14:42It means member of the Funny Handshake Brigade.
00:14:44Oh, you see, toity. You all right?
00:14:46No, rough night. It was a late one.
00:14:48Out on the town?
00:14:49My dad was ill, had to take him into casualty.
00:14:52Oh, go ahead. Do you need to be there?
00:14:54No, it's fine.
00:14:55Well, just keep me posted if you need time.
00:14:57I'll get to mention it, yeah?
00:14:58Yeah.
00:15:03Hi.
00:15:04We're going this way.
00:15:05We're going to follow the whole tree line now.
00:15:07We'll see you in the middle of the house.
00:15:17Come on, guys.
00:15:18No one, not even her housemate claims to know who she was.
00:15:31Five days she's been missing.
00:15:33You should have been called in sooner.
00:15:35Well, okay, what about these phone records?
00:15:37I thought you said there wasn't anything.
00:15:39Well, not in the last five days, but I'm talking about before.
00:15:42Look.
00:15:43Brackley.
00:15:44Isn't that in Northamptonshire?
00:15:45Yeah, but...
00:15:46Okay, she's been to Brackley.
00:15:47Where's that fit in?
00:15:48Well, a couple of times.
00:15:49Look, circled them in pencil.
00:15:52I think maybe she's got a boyfriend there.
00:15:54It's possible.
00:15:55Right.
00:15:56I've just spoken to the super,
00:15:58and he's giving you the nod for the telly thing.
00:16:00Oh, great.
00:16:01I'll talk to the press team.
00:16:03Set it up.
00:16:04Pretty boy.
00:16:05Eager to get his face in the media.
00:16:2327th.
00:16:2427th of August, Brackley.
00:16:34Five flowers.
00:16:35What were you doing in Brackley, Gemma?
00:16:3827th?
00:16:4027th.
00:16:46Five flowers?
00:16:47What were you doing in Brackley, Gemma?
00:16:5125th?
00:16:5225th?
00:16:5327th?
00:16:5427th?
00:16:5527th?
00:16:5727th?
00:16:5828th?
00:16:5927th?
00:17:0028th?
00:17:0127th?
00:17:0228th?
00:17:0329th?
00:17:04Evening, Reza.
00:17:14Hi.
00:17:15I'm meeting someone. Is she here?
00:17:17She's there.
00:17:19Ah, thank you.
00:17:23Hi, I'm Leo.
00:17:25Hayley?
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:34Have you done this sort of thing before?
00:17:54Why?
00:17:55I don't know. Just seem really confident.
00:17:58If it was me, I'd be bricking it.
00:18:04How's your father? Have you heard from the hospital?
00:18:14Um, Mum's with him. Says he's doing fine.
00:18:19Oh, you know, if you need to be there, then...
00:18:20Yeah, no, I said it was okay.
00:18:24Sure, it's just...
00:18:25Oh, what? Am I...
00:18:26Am I not coping?
00:18:28No, no, not at all.
00:18:29Okay, well then, there's no need to mention it.
00:18:34You know, you just show the tiniest bit of weakness
00:18:38and everybody jumps on it, so...
00:18:42Well, it's hardly weakness if your father's ill.
00:18:44I don't know, the last thing I need is you
00:18:46gossiping in the mess, telling everyone
00:18:47I'm off work for personal reasons, or...
00:18:49Saying I understand.
00:18:53Inspector, they're ready for you.
00:18:57Perfect.
00:18:57Wait.
00:19:27Oh, gosh.
00:19:50Just, um, looking for a hairbrush.
00:19:56Who's she?
00:19:58Your ex.
00:20:00Someone.
00:20:06What do you want to do?
00:20:08How do you mean?
00:20:10Well, do you want me to stay?
00:20:12Sure, whatever.
00:20:13Her name is Gemma Hastings.
00:20:37She's 24, brown hair, brown eyes, 5'7".
00:20:41She was last seen in the Eaton Park area of the city on Thursday evening.
00:20:47She left her home on Christchurch Road at approximately 7pm.
00:20:50She decided not to take her car, so either she was given a lift by someone, was on foot, or using public transport.
00:21:00Obviously, we're concerned for her.
00:21:02We're urging anyone who thinks they might have seen her to get in touch with us.
00:21:07She was wearing a cream overcoat, denim jeans, and burgundy boots.
00:21:11If you think you saw Gemma, we have any information that might assist us.
00:21:16Please, call this number.
00:21:18All calls will be treated as confidential.
00:21:23What else?
00:21:24What what?
00:21:24How do you think that went?
00:21:26Is that you being insecure?
00:21:27Yeah, you were great. Impressive.
00:21:29Is that you being nice?
00:21:30Yeah, treasure it. It's not going to happen again.
00:21:32I've got a visitor.
00:21:43You think the text is from her?
00:21:45Yes. I got it just after 9.
00:21:47Came straight here.
00:21:49Don't want you to worry, lovely boy.
00:21:51I've caused you enough pain.
00:21:52I just wanted you to know I'm okay.
00:21:55Gee.
00:21:56That's not her number?
00:21:58No.
00:21:59Sent from another phone.
00:22:00Do you recognize it?
00:22:02But she used to call me that name, and I don't know who else knew that, Tom.
00:22:06Right, um, I will contact the service provider, work out where it came from.
00:22:11It'll be a burner for her.
00:22:13Why would she change funds?
00:22:15Well, maybe she's trying to stop someone tracing her.
00:22:18You should text her back.
00:22:22Say what?
00:22:23Asking her, asking her to explain, asking her to call you.
00:22:27Tell her that you're worried.
00:22:29Tell her that you want to help.
00:22:37Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:22:38I don't know what to say.
00:22:39So relieved to hear from you.
00:22:49Call me, please.
00:22:54You need an emoji.
00:22:55Uh, worried face.
00:22:57Sure.
00:23:01Okay, right.
00:23:04Give this the technical support.
00:23:06See if they can track the sender.
00:23:12Let me know, of course.
00:23:12Well, what do you reckon?
00:23:30I reckon you should be with your family.
00:23:36They'll call me if they need me.
00:23:39Seriously?
00:23:41I want to wait and see if we get anything back.
00:23:44So you go and leave it with me.
00:23:48Fine.
00:23:49Helen, hi.
00:24:05Hi.
00:24:05I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:24:06It's all right.
00:24:07Oh.
00:24:11So.
00:24:13Is this, um, an official meeting, or are we just catching up on nine years of gossip?
00:24:16It's been a while.
00:24:22Okay, Gemma.
00:24:23What were you looking at?
00:24:27Brightly again.
00:24:29Flowers.
00:24:31St. Olaf's school.
00:24:35What is that about?
00:24:43Anything?
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:45You know that message from Gemma?
00:24:47Text.
00:24:48It's it locally.
00:24:49Vicarage Road?
00:24:50Hmm.
00:24:51Hang on.
00:24:57Vicarage Road.
00:24:59That was one of the properties she was laying.
00:25:01We need to get over there.
00:25:02We need to get over there.
00:25:02Property got broken into, so it's been renovated.
00:25:27Wait for me here, in case someone comes out.
00:25:33Hmm?
00:25:33Okay.
00:25:33So I took her out for lunch.
00:25:43New stuff, you know.
00:25:45She seemed nice.
00:25:47But...
00:25:48guarded.
00:25:51Never worked as an estate agent before, but she was personable, keen.
00:25:55Relocated for a fresh start.
00:25:57She gave me the distinct impression that she just ended a relationship.
00:26:04She seemed lonely, I suppose.
00:26:07A little wounded.
00:26:10Reluctant to open up.
00:26:12Actually encouraged her to start dating again.
00:26:14Did she take your advice?
00:26:15I don't know.
00:26:17Did you hear about my brother?
00:26:46I'm so sorry, Tommy.
00:26:48It must have been heartbreaking.
00:26:50Yeah, 31.
00:26:53Which makes me next in line.
00:26:55Eighth Earl of Ashton one day.
00:26:57They expect me to step up.
00:26:59Do my duty.
00:27:00Run the estate.
00:27:01That's not what you want.
00:27:03Not really.
00:27:06I know all about it.
00:27:08Pressure of the family name.
00:27:10I stepped in when my father was about to sell her.
00:27:12I just...
00:27:13I felt the weight of responsibility.
00:27:14Tell them I want something else.
00:27:18You were always like that.
00:27:21Restless.
00:27:23Even when happiness was right in front of you.
00:27:26Even when it was staring you in the face.
00:27:28It's only me.
00:27:42I thought you might need backup.
00:27:59Christ on a bike, if you leave.
00:28:06Get the shit out of me.
00:28:07Sorry.
00:28:07Sorry.
00:28:10Any sign of her?
00:28:11No.
00:28:12Nothing.
00:28:14Nothing at all.
00:28:15It doesn't make any sense.
00:28:16Maybe someone set us up.
00:28:38Over here.
00:28:39Body.
00:28:40Body.
00:28:40Body.

00:29:14Body.
00:29:15in the next view. As of now, I'll be back in 9.30.
00:29:18Thank you, Michael. And here are the headlines from
00:29:21Streetcounter's news. Police have confirmed that the body
00:29:24found last night in the Steppe State District was that of the missing
00:29:27estate agent, Gemma Hastings. Gemma went missing
00:29:30after leaving her flat in Christchurch, Rome. On Thursday,
00:29:33the 5th of September, a spokesman for the police said
00:29:36that they're following a number of lines of inquiry and will be
00:29:38issuing official statements.
00:29:40Victims, Gemma Hastings. She was attacked with some kind of
00:29:59blunt object. Scarlet's caved in. She left her flat on Christchurch
00:30:03Road, then we think walked into town. The state of the body is
00:30:07likely she was killed the same night she went missing. The body's
00:30:10found in some parkland near a disused railway. There's no blood
00:30:14spray, so indications are this isn't where she was murdered.
00:30:17The attacker dumped her body there.
00:30:26We believe you were the last person who saw her before she was
00:30:29killed. I'm afraid we're going to need a DNA sample.
00:30:34Sorry, what?
00:30:36Traces on the body. You're in close contact.
00:30:40We need to eliminate your DNA from the search.
00:30:43Fraser, can you tell us a bit about her behaviour that night?
00:30:47Maybe tell us a little bit about her routine?
00:30:51Sorry, I don't understand.
00:30:53That's okay.
00:30:55Was she in a hurry?
00:30:56Did she give you the sense that she was meeting someone?
00:30:59Not really.
00:30:59Did she take anything with her?
00:31:02She just had her handbag, I think.
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:08Did she give you any indication at all of where she was going?
00:31:14No, I think I just assumed.
00:31:17What?
00:31:18I just assumed it was a date.
00:31:21Okay.
00:31:21Why would you assume that?
00:31:22She had this thing on her phone.
00:31:26What thing?
00:31:27It was a new sort of dating app she just downloaded.
00:31:31How are you getting on with CCTV?
00:31:40Nada.
00:31:41The carriage road is a blank spot.
00:31:43Can you check us out?
00:31:44Might be something, might be nothing.
00:31:45Time records?
00:31:46Yeah.
00:31:47Only interested in the two I've circled.
00:31:50Brackley.
00:31:51Little market town, Northamptonshire.
00:31:53Gemma Hastings was there recently.
00:31:56A hundred miles away.
00:31:59No idea why.
00:32:01But she made some calls in the vicinity.
00:32:03Could you get a more exact location?
00:32:05How?
00:32:06What?
00:32:07It says detective on your badge there.
00:32:12Yes, Habers.
00:32:13Somebody here to see you.
00:32:20Didn't you go in today?
00:32:23Phoned in sick.
00:32:25Why?
00:32:25Why are you so upset?
00:32:31Can you...
00:32:32Can you not, please?
00:32:34Praise, I'm sorry.
00:32:36How many more times can I say it?
00:32:39I don't...
00:32:40You need to get your own place.
00:32:43Yes, but it is not that easy.
00:32:45Not when you've just come out of prison.
00:32:47You know that.
00:32:48I just don't know who you are.
00:32:51Some days...
00:32:52I think you can be so different.
00:32:59Come on.
00:33:04Let me cook something.
00:33:05Okay?
00:33:06To say sorry?
00:33:07And then...
00:33:08We'll light some candles.
00:33:12Maybe get some whining.
00:33:14It'll be nice.
00:33:16I'll make pasta.
00:33:17Do you happen to have some cash?
00:33:27Because I don't remember.
00:33:32Thanks.
00:33:35Do you think I could get that too?
00:33:44See you on principle.
00:33:45when was it that you first met him last night a pizza restaurant he said he'd been there before
00:34:03so yeah and you spent the evening with him just talking or yeah and and i went back to his house
00:34:15something happened he had this uh picture a photograph her you're sure absolutely she was
00:34:25wearing the exact same coat can you tell us a little bit more about their image that's the thing
00:34:30it was sort of weird weird how like she was angry he was taking the photo
00:34:45that's the horse then we've got a warrant
00:35:03so
00:35:15Inspector!
00:35:31Inspector!
00:35:39Gemma.
00:35:41Frater.
00:35:45I think that Leo wouldn't take no for an answer.
00:35:53I'm Detective Inspector Lindley.
00:35:55My colleague is Detective Sergeant Havers,
00:35:57and we're interviewing...
00:35:59My name is Leo Hodgson.
00:36:01Thank you, Leo.
00:36:03Now, you've been made aware of your right to a solicitor,
00:36:05but you're happy to be interviewed without one present.
00:36:07Yes. Yes, I am.
00:36:09I just want this dealt with.
00:36:11Great.
00:36:13Do you know this woman?
00:36:15No. No, I don't.
00:36:19Well, here's a photograph of her we found at your house.
00:36:23And another one.
00:36:27And another.
00:36:29I've got many more.
00:36:33Do you take my point?
00:36:37They're just photos.
00:36:39It's my job. I work in a photography lab.
00:36:41You took those photos yourself.
00:36:43So you know her?
00:36:45I've seen her about, yeah.
00:36:47Okay.
00:36:49So, why did you just lie to us?
00:36:53We weren't close.
00:36:55I saw her on the street.
00:36:57I take pictures of people.
00:36:59It's a kind of hobby.
00:37:01Women?
00:37:05Yes.
00:37:07And how do they feel about it?
00:37:09Being followed?
00:37:11Having their picture taken?
00:37:13It's just harmless.
00:37:17Is that what they would call it?
00:37:19Tell us about your date.
00:37:21You went on a date with Gemma Hastings.
00:37:23Now she's missing.
00:37:24I...
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:26Alright.
00:37:27Where was the date?
00:37:29We met at a local restaurant.
00:37:31Alterio's.
00:37:33Is that one of your favourite places?
00:37:35I've been there before, yeah.
00:37:37It's just around the corner from my house.
00:37:39How'd the evening with this one go then, huh?
00:37:43It was fine.
00:37:47Did you agree to meet again?
00:37:49No.
00:37:50Why?
00:37:52It didn't really work out between us.
00:37:55We'd break things off.
00:37:57We just weren't.
00:37:59Compatible.
00:38:01Well, you wanted to see her.
00:38:05You made several requests on the app.
00:38:07We checked.
00:38:09One or two, yes, but...
00:38:11Ten.
00:38:14Ten, and she never replied.
00:38:16Is that right?
00:38:19And then you wrote her some emails.
00:38:23That is your account, isn't it, Leo?
00:38:25Then you turn up at Christchurch Road.
00:38:27Followed her.
00:38:29Took a photo.
00:38:31Why?
00:38:33As a memento.
00:38:35It was a stupid thing to do.
00:38:37I know that now.
00:38:42She's dead, Leo.
00:38:43Someone smashed her skull in.
00:38:47Dumped her body in some scrubland.
00:38:53It wasn't me.
00:38:55I liked her.
00:38:56Maybe a little too much, yeah?
00:39:02No alibi for Thursday night.
00:39:04Do you reckon we'll find out a guy?
00:39:07What? What's up?
00:39:09Well...
00:39:10It's hard to read, that's all.
00:39:13Like a movie with the sound off.
00:39:15Hard to interpret.
00:39:16We've been getting press calls.
00:39:18Someone's leaked that we made an arrest.
00:39:22Okay, Simon, so what have you got?
00:39:24I've taken a look at what you've sent me.
00:39:26Hair samples from Hodgkin's house.
00:39:28Fingerprints.
00:39:29And?
00:39:30None of it's Gemma.
00:39:31No DNA traces.
00:39:33Mollocks.
00:39:34If she was in his house, he's obliterated any evidence.
00:39:36Scrapped the place clean.
00:39:37About the only chemical trace I could find was NACLO.
00:39:40Bleach.
00:39:41Yeah, we found about ten different kinds of cleaning fluids.
00:39:43Either he's guilty as hell, or OCD about his cleanliness.
00:39:46Likewise, his car, I'm afraid.
00:39:47No discernible traces.
00:39:49Nothing.
00:39:50If he transported her, he didn't use his vehicle.
00:39:54So there's no evidence linking him to the murder.
00:39:56We have to release him.
00:40:07His face could beat the press.
00:40:08That's what we need.
00:40:13I warned you both.
00:40:15The Chief Superintendent is demanding a result.
00:40:17Are you really gonna let him walk out of here?
00:40:19There's no evidence linking him to the body.
00:40:22Get some.
00:40:26What if he was smart?
00:40:31What if he managed to cover his tracks?
00:40:33Do you wanna keep on him?
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35Me too.
00:40:36Around the clock.
00:40:38Contact surveillance unit.
00:40:39Might take 24 hours to set up.
00:40:41We can't wait that long.
00:40:42I'll have one surveillance tonight, yeah?
00:40:43Leave it with me.
00:40:44Are you sure?
00:40:45What about your father?
00:40:47Sorry.
00:40:56Helen, I...
00:40:57I saw the news.
00:40:58I just wanted to say how sorry I was.
00:40:59I wanted to say it face to face.
00:41:00Not on the phone.
00:41:01I feel like it's my fault.
00:41:02Huh?
00:41:03Why?
00:41:04She met some creep online.
00:41:05I encouraged her.
00:41:06She was just fragile.
00:41:07She was on the rebound.
00:41:08I told her to get out there.
00:41:09Helen, I, uh, I saw the news.
00:41:17I just wanted to say how sorry I was.
00:41:20I wanted to say it face to face, not on the phone.
00:41:24I feel like it's my fault.
00:41:28Why?
00:41:29She met some creep online, I encouraged her.
00:41:32She was fragile, she was on the rebound, and I told her to get out there.
00:41:39I don't know.
00:42:09I don't know.
00:42:30Right, my turn.
00:42:33You're done for the night.
00:42:34Reckon he's not coming out again?
00:42:35What happened with Brackley and Iliad?
00:42:39Still working on it. Had to show a bit to do this.
00:42:43You pissed off that I picked you, you shouldn't be.
00:42:46I'm giving you an opportunity.
00:42:48We've got work twice as hard.
00:42:50We.
00:42:51You know what I mean.
00:42:53See you tomorrow.
00:42:55See you.
00:43:05It's sort of scary, isn't it?
00:43:09Like how random it all is.
00:43:13I suppose everything that's happened has made me realise a lot of things.
00:43:17Like?
00:43:19Like?
00:43:20Everyone's got a perfect partner out there, but fate intervenes and you might not end up with them.
00:43:29Like.
00:43:30Life is short.
00:43:32Live in the moment.
00:44:02Oh, come on.
00:44:32Come on.
00:44:32Come on.
00:44:32Come on.
00:45:03Hey, what's up?
00:45:04Hi, I need you back here. I've got to get over to the office before my dad's taking a turn.
00:45:07Uh, okay, yeah.
00:45:08Okay, thanks.
00:45:21Hey!
00:45:22Don't want you here murderer!
00:45:32Where am I supposed to go?
00:45:38Paolo, if you just sit down...
00:45:39No, no, no, no, no! You told me so!
00:45:41No, I'm listening!
00:45:42Shut up!
00:45:43I'm just...
00:45:44I'm just...
00:45:45Where am I supposed to go?
00:45:48I asked you, where?!
00:45:50Just...
00:45:51Where?!
00:46:00Barbara, how is it?
00:46:01We've given him Tioflin. He's a little more stable.
00:46:08Hi, Papa.
00:46:09Hi.
00:46:10Hi.
00:46:11This is me.
00:46:12I'm here.
00:46:31…
00:46:38Woo-hoo!
00:46:48No!
00:46:49No!
00:46:50No!

00:46:52No!
00:46:53No!
00:46:54No!
00:46:55No!
00:46:58No!
00:46:59Ernie, what are you?
00:47:14What's happened?
00:47:29I got a call from the station.
00:47:50What happened?
00:47:54Tell me, we were...
00:47:56It's not Bacilli's fault, it was...
00:47:57One of you, please.
00:48:00I was running surveillance, sir, and...
00:48:02I was a senior officer on duty.
00:48:04Just spare me the Spartacus routine, just the facts.
00:48:08We were shadowing him from the street.
00:48:11And?
00:48:13There was a handover.
00:48:16A gap just before I got there.
00:48:18I found him lying in the driveway outside his house.
00:48:21Someone had...
00:48:23attacked him.
00:48:24They don't know if he's gonna survive.
00:48:27Possible bleed on the brain.
00:48:31Jesus Christ.
00:48:36Where were you?
00:48:37I was, um...
00:48:39I was here.
00:48:42Here?
00:48:45At the hospital?
00:48:45I got a call about my dad.
00:48:53Is he okay?
00:48:55Yeah, he's fine.
00:48:56He's out of danger.
00:48:57But, obviously...
00:48:59Suspect gets beaten to a pulp while we're supposed to be watching him.
00:49:07Do you have any idea where this puts us?
00:49:11Knives will have a field day.
00:49:14Do we know who attacked him?
00:49:16There's no witnesses.
00:49:18We found a note in the house.
00:49:19A threatening letter.
00:49:20The case is starting to get a lot of coverage.
00:49:22People are angry, I guess.
00:49:26Tony, you, um...
00:49:27Wait outside for a minute.
00:49:29Sir.
00:49:29It's on me.
00:49:48Okay, listen.
00:49:49I mean it.
00:49:50It's negative duty I left my post.
00:49:51You called me.
00:49:53I have a missed call from you.
00:49:55Just to tell you about my dad.
00:49:56You were calling me for backup.
00:50:07Okay, I, um...
00:50:09What?
00:50:11I, uh, I need to talk to the chief.
00:50:13Well, what are you going to say?
00:50:14I mean...
00:50:15What is he going to say?
00:50:34Hey, you all right?
00:50:55I really messed up.
00:51:04Hi, Cucciolo.
00:51:23You're not talking to me?
00:51:27Look, I'm sorry.
00:51:29I was upset, okay?
00:51:30I didn't mean to get in such a mood.
00:51:32I thought...
00:51:33I don't know.
00:51:34I thought you were trying to get rid of me.
00:51:36No, let me do that.
00:51:39I got it.
00:51:42I'm not usually like that, right?
00:51:44I have way too much brain care.
00:51:53You scared me.
00:51:55Chucking stuff around.
00:51:57Some of the things you said, they made me upset.
00:52:01I just meant with the police around.
00:52:05Maybe you should keep a low profile, that's all.
00:52:11Paolo, listen to me.
00:52:13I just don't think it's a good idea.
00:52:15Maybe you come here quite so often.
00:52:17I just meant to get my phone.
00:52:19I'm sorry.
00:52:24Well?
00:52:28It's a disciplinary hearing, isn't it?
00:52:32Seriously's got to go.
00:52:33I don't think you got to go.
00:52:35What a matter.
00:52:36If not, what a matter.
00:52:37It's a disciplinary hearing, isn't it?
00:52:38That's a disciplinary hearing.
00:52:39I don't know, aren't they?
00:52:40Well?
00:52:41That's a disciplinary hearing, isn't it?
00:52:44It's a disciplinary hearing, isn't it?
00:52:46Serious misconduct?
00:52:49Look, just tell me.
00:52:50Just...
00:52:51Look, I could take it.
00:52:56I've been taken off the case.
00:52:58What?
00:53:00What are you talking about?
00:53:04You?
00:53:05The rest of you are off the hook.
00:53:07That doesn't make any sense.
00:53:09What?
00:53:10You carried the can for me and Bikili?
00:53:12One of the perks of leading the team.
00:53:15I just...
00:53:15Well, I thought...
00:53:19Well, what did you say to him?
00:53:20I am Spartacus.
00:53:22But it wasn't your fault.
00:53:23You left me in charge.
00:53:24Buck stops with me.
00:53:25There's no point pretending otherwise.
00:53:26Excuse me.
00:53:29Nise is going to step in.
00:53:31Take charge of the case personally.
00:53:34Play nicely.
00:53:44A man has been hospitalised after an attack at his stepscape home last night.
00:53:52Reports that he'd been helping the police with inquiries into the death of estate agent,
00:53:56Gemma Hastings, are unconfirmed, a police spokesman said.
00:54:00An official statement is expected shortly.
00:54:02Investigators were seen carrying out an incamination throughout the property as a suspect called him.
00:54:07The suspect has been seriously injured during what should have been a very difficult last few days.
00:54:30And this is a critical moment for this force, for everyone in this room.
00:54:34A suspect has been seriously injured during what should have been a routine surveillance operation.
00:54:39Naturally, there'll be an internal investigation.
00:54:42Not to mention a media frenzy.
00:54:44But whilst the investigation is being put in place, I am personally in charge of the case.
00:54:52Any questions?
00:54:52Any questions?
00:55:14Hi, this is Helen Clyde.
00:55:38Sorry I'm not available.
00:55:38Please leave a message.
00:55:41Helen, hi.

00:55:55Tommy.
00:56:06Christ.
00:56:12Something you want to say to me?
00:56:13It wasn't the inspector's fault, sir.
00:56:16Listen, if you want to hitch your wagon to him, fine.
00:56:20But he's out.
00:56:21So, for the sake of your career, I'd keep your mouth shut.

01:05:28I
01:05:28I didn't know who they were from
01:05:32I thought

01:07:04how'd you get on?
01:07:08did you find what you wanted?
01:07:12I wanted to ask you about this photograph
01:07:13Luke was a very gifted player
01:07:16someone's missing
01:07:18someone's been cut out of the picture
01:07:21I can't talk about him
01:07:31sorry
01:07:33the boy and his team
01:07:36I can't say his name
01:07:38Jason Parry
01:07:41so, Jason Parry
01:07:51stabbed Luke Knight
01:07:52apparently he's sent down for it
01:07:54are you thinking what I'm thinking?
01:07:57he would have served his prison term by now
01:07:58no one knows his new identity
01:08:12except maybe a handful of people
01:08:14at public protection unit
01:08:15yeah
01:08:16probation, police services
01:08:17what if Gemma met him?
01:08:23somehow she found out
01:08:24he was really Jason Parry
01:08:26it's possible
01:08:26that card at the grave
01:08:29she felt guilty
01:08:31she felt bad
01:08:32that she's gotten close to a murderer
01:08:34that's why she changed
01:08:35that's why she was so sad
01:08:38and broken
01:08:38that's why she ran
01:08:40and
01:08:42if she knew
01:08:43his true identity
01:08:44you think he could have murdered her
01:08:46to keep a secret from coming out
01:08:49perhaps we've met him before

01:13:01arrest him
01:13:02for what though
01:13:04he's not that ten year old boy anymore
01:13:06law says he served his time
01:13:10yeah
01:13:10for sure
01:13:11that's what the law says
01:13:12that's not what I meant
01:13:17if he'd come clean about the blackmail
01:13:20she might not be dead now
01:13:21at the very least he's guilty of perverting the course of justice
01:13:24perhaps
01:13:25let's assume she let it slip to someone
01:13:29okay
01:13:30erm
01:13:30what that person
01:13:32did something with the information
01:13:34what if Gemma was trying to
01:13:36stop them
01:13:37what if she was actually trying to protect him
01:13:40hey this
01:13:47hmm
01:13:47in my office
01:13:50treat me like an idiot

01:14:07he had some vital leads he wanted to share
01:14:08Lindley's no longer on the case
01:14:10and actually his information has led to some progress
01:14:11but then you should have brought it straight to me
01:14:13Lindley's old news
01:14:14it wasn't his fault
01:14:15oh that is nonsense and you know it
01:14:17please sir

01:14:32Lindley is likely to face a disciplinary hearing

01:18:04She told me.
01:18:06Who the hell are you?
01:18:09You know who I am.
01:18:15How did you get in here?
01:18:18She still had your key.
01:18:20You and I, we need to talk, Gareth.
01:18:23She was upset.
01:18:27Cried herself to sleep.
01:18:29I heard her.
01:18:35I felt bad.
01:18:37So I asked her.
01:18:40I asked her what was wrong.
01:18:42Eventually, she pulled her heart out about you, about your past, about the wedding you never had.
01:18:53She was very loyal to you.
01:18:57She never told me your name.
01:18:58I found it.
01:19:01I mean, it took a little bit of digging.
01:19:03Eventually, I found you on social media.
01:19:08Smiling face.
01:19:09Why are you doing this to me?
01:19:14I'm in a bad situation.
01:19:17And I need money to get out of it.
01:19:22You killed her.
01:19:23No.
01:19:23No, no.
01:19:24It wasn't like that.
01:19:27I never meant to hurt her.
01:19:34She found out what I was doing.
01:19:36It's all the emails I'd written to you.
01:19:39What are you doing?
01:19:39Why are you on my laptop, Gemma?
01:19:43But why are you in my room?
01:19:44Why is she sick?
01:19:45I don't know what you're doing.
01:19:46You're ready, I don't know what you're saying.
01:19:48You won't go to jail for that, do you know that?
01:19:49Calm down.
01:19:49You don't...
01:19:50Don't get off me!
01:19:51Gemma, please, just calm down.
01:19:52Get off me!
01:19:53Just wait a moment.
01:19:54Just get off.
01:19:57Gemma, give me your phone.
01:19:59Hold on.
01:19:59Hold on.
01:20:00Hold on.
01:20:03This.
01:20:04This.
01:20:05This.
01:20:05I was just trying to stop her.
01:20:11I...
01:20:12It just happened in the...
01:20:13Shh.
01:20:16I don't want to have to do this, Scarif.
01:20:21One click.
01:20:24And I can tell the world.
01:20:31It's just a message.
01:20:32Saying you are Luke Natan's killer.
01:20:38Do you understand what that would do?
01:20:40That would mean an end to this.
01:20:41An end to everything.
01:20:45You would be persecuted forever.
01:20:50Unless...
01:20:51Unless you give me the money you promised me.
01:20:58There's someone in there with him.
01:20:58You took her from me.
01:21:07And I loved her.
01:21:09Yes!
01:21:09I love him!
01:21:10Get off!
01:21:14I'm sorry.
01:21:17I'm so sorry.
01:21:18A full confession.
01:21:30Yes, sir.
01:21:32Where is he now?
01:21:33Downstairs.
01:21:34In the cells.
01:21:35CPS have enough to charge him.
01:21:39Well, congratulations.
01:21:42Both of you.
01:21:43Actually, it was Inspector Lindley who solved it, sir.
01:21:45There's still the matter of Leo Hodgson.
01:21:50He's in recovery.
01:21:52He isn't being charged with a crime.
01:21:54But we'll pass on the information we have to the anti-stalking unit.
01:21:58And the person that attacked him?
01:21:59Ongoing.
01:22:00Forensics found a print on the letterbox, sir.
01:22:04Okay, very well.
01:22:05Dismissed, sir.
01:22:06Sir.
01:22:07Oh, Havers, could you wait behind a moment?
01:22:10I, uh...
01:22:18I thought you and I had an understanding.
01:22:26I thought we were together on this.
01:22:32Will there be anything else, sir?
01:22:33No.
01:22:33No.
01:22:34What was that about?
01:22:49Nothing.
01:22:49Don't worry about it.
01:22:50Come on.
01:22:51Where are we going?
01:22:52I reckon I owe you dinner and a pint.
01:22:54I owe you one, too.
01:22:55I can toss for it.
01:22:56Does it have to be one of your pushblazers?
01:22:58You choose.
01:22:59Whatever you want.
01:23:00I can even have a roly-poly.
01:23:03Oh, yes.
01:23:27I, uh...
