00:00:15Go!
00:00:17Go!
00:02:29Got any gloves?
00:02:30Sir.
00:02:43More light, please.
00:02:47Mrs. Eugenie Martin, 47 Saltash Green Road, London, West 4th.
00:03:03Right.
00:03:06I'll come back when the SIO gets here.
00:03:17Good evening, sir.
00:03:38Barbara, glad you could join us. Come in.
00:03:47Charlie, do you remember? Barbara Havers?
00:03:52Of course. Nice to see you.
00:03:54Happy anniversary.
00:03:56Well, um, for you.
00:03:57Oh, and this is for you, sir.
00:04:00But it's official, sir.
00:04:01But, sir, it'll go away until tomorrow.
00:04:04Now, help us up to a drink, Barbara.
00:04:06We'll see you later.
00:04:07Thank you, Mum.
00:04:10Thank you, Mum.
00:04:11But I was supposed to call sir's wife.
00:04:16Who's Helen?
00:04:17Uh, she's working all hours this week.
00:04:20Uh, what was in the letter?
00:04:23My resignation.
00:04:27Have you gone completely and utterly mad?
00:04:29Why?
00:04:31This was ridiculous.
00:04:32You're behaving like a spoiled teenager.
00:04:34Another mistake, then, sir.
00:04:35More evidence of my unsuitability.
00:04:38No one says you're unsuitable.
00:04:40They said the next best thing.
00:04:43I've lost my rank.
00:04:44I'm on a warning.
00:04:45I would rather have been sacked than demoted.
00:04:47This is madness.
00:04:48You can't resign.
00:04:50Well, it's the one thing that nobody can actually order me to do.
00:04:53Stay in the police.
00:04:54You know the old net saying, sir.
00:04:56We're only 28 days from the hour.
00:04:57Of course I can't order you to stay.
00:04:59Do you know him?
00:05:08Yeah, that's DS Brian Leach.
00:05:11My old crime squad sergeant from when I was just out of uniform.
00:05:14Good policeman, but not one you want to be arrested by.
00:05:16Well, he doesn't seem very pleased to see you.
00:05:18No, he never was.
00:05:19Well, I suppose he's thrilled that you've overtaken his rank.
00:05:23As far as he was concerned, I always had.
00:05:25Where is he now?
00:05:28Hampstead.
00:05:33He's a long way from home.
00:05:35That's just what I was thinking.
00:05:37Well, I'll see you later.
00:05:39I've driven over more than once.
00:06:08Of course, impact at speed, then probably they reversed over her, and then forwards again.
00:06:15They wanted to make sure of the job, didn't they?
00:06:19Eugenie...
00:06:20Martin.
00:06:21Of Strand on the Green.
00:06:22Divorced.
00:06:23Anything known, sir?
00:06:26No form.
00:06:27Oh, and, uh, Tommy, take a havers.
00:06:34Thank you, sir.
00:06:35It's been a rough ride for her.
00:06:37Yes, I know.
00:06:39In fact, that envelope she gave you, she asked if she could have it back.
00:06:46Oh, did she?
00:06:50Well, you'd better see you get a result, then.
00:06:55Thank you, sir.
00:06:56I thought I was just going to a party.
00:07:09I thought you went there to resign.
00:07:10Yeah, I did.
00:07:12I think why sir put me on this with you.
00:07:14Maybe because he thinks you're better than you do.
00:07:17Anyway, you can't resign from the police force.
00:07:22Where else can you spend all night long standing around in the rain while the people you're protecting insult you?
00:07:29Oh, have it your own way, Agus.
00:07:32You're still a police officer for the next 28 days, all right?
00:07:37So you could possibly remove your head from your rear end for just a minute.
00:07:40The question you might want to ask...
00:07:41Is why did DS Leach drive across London in the middle of the night to tell Weberley about this murder?
00:07:47Lord, if you don't open this door, let me get somebody to break it down.
00:07:55Now, Richard, would you have the trustees to answer to?
00:07:57Damn the trustees.
00:07:58Excuse me.
00:07:59That's my son in there.
00:08:00He's been in there in eternity.
00:08:01He could have done something to his son.
00:08:02Excuse me, Richard.
00:08:04Yes, Raphael, you try.
00:08:09Gideon.
00:08:11Gideon, it's me.
00:08:12I brought you a brandy.
00:08:13What's he doing in there?
00:08:17Gideon.
00:08:19Come on.
00:08:20You can't stay in there all night.
00:08:26Oh, thank God.
00:08:29Well, go on.
00:08:30Give it to him.
00:08:30Don't just stand there.
00:08:33Get these people out of here.
00:08:34Yes, of course.
00:08:34Can we clear up the corridor, please?
00:08:36Now, everybody move back.
00:08:38What the hell are you playing at?
00:08:52I'm sorry, sir.
00:08:54Oh, nasty.
00:08:56Dr. Shaw had to check for the gender.
00:08:58Not surprised.
00:09:00He's good.
00:09:03Well, you think this is a handbag?
00:09:05It was under a car, presumably thrown by the impact.
00:09:11What have we got?
00:09:13Hearths, mobile phone, car keys.
00:09:16Is this, uh, a rosary?
00:09:20Catholic.
00:09:21D.S. Brown Leach.
00:09:22D.S. Barbara Hayworth.
00:09:23D.C. Hayworth.
00:09:26Sorry.
00:09:30And for a rover.
00:09:32Should have parked somewhere nearby.
00:09:34Yep.
00:09:35Check the mobile.
00:09:36Let's see who she's in touch with.
00:09:37Sir.
00:09:38So, what would you like me to do, sir?
00:09:40You can see to the removal of the body.
00:09:42I'm a detective, sergeant.
00:09:44She's a detective, constable.
00:09:45And I get to stand and watch the ambulance crew
00:09:47while she chases up the phones and the cars.
00:09:49You got a problem with that?
00:09:50Not at all, sir.
00:09:52After all, you are the senior officer.
00:09:54That's right, I am.
00:09:55So get on with it.
00:09:56Both of you.
00:10:01You all right?
00:10:03Yes.
00:10:04Sorry, sir.
00:10:05It's all right.
00:10:05That happens to all of us.
00:10:07Do you know who reported the body?
00:10:08The owner of that house there
00:10:12called us at 9.47
00:10:14to say he found it when he arrived home.
00:10:17That's him watching through the window now.
00:10:20James Pitchley.
00:10:21Got very anti when he couldn't get straight into his house.
00:10:24Why couldn't he?
00:10:25He didn't have any ID, sir.
00:10:27He had to wait till someone was free
00:10:29to escort him in and check who he was.
00:10:30No wallet?
00:10:31No, sir.
00:10:32He was very cagey about where he'd been, sir.
00:10:35Was he indeed?
00:10:36All right.
00:10:38Well, you get on to the general registry
00:10:39and see if there are any files on Eugenie Martin
00:10:41and any witnesses.
00:10:44Mr. and Mrs. McLean next door
00:10:47heard a loud bang just after 9.30,
00:10:49but they didn't look out as they were watching telly.
00:10:52Actually.
00:10:53Mr. McLean next door
00:10:55I thought she was looking for this road.
00:10:57James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:10:59Pitchley?
00:11:00What do you know him?
00:11:01James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:03James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:05James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:07James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:09James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:13James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:15James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:17James Pitchley, two Bishop Gardens, 9.30.
00:11:21What, your name?
00:11:23No.
00:11:23Mason just said he was the one who reported finding the body.
00:11:26She didn't say that he knew who it was.
00:11:28Maybe he didn't recognise her.
00:11:30Maybe not.
00:11:32So she had a meeting with him,
00:11:34which presumably she didn't keep,
00:11:3617 minutes before he reported finding the body.
00:11:39Oh, as you would say, sir.
00:11:40He might have noticed a slight coincidence.
00:11:43I might indeed.
00:11:45Let's go and have a look at Pitchley's car, shall we?
00:11:51Not a scratch.
00:11:52This wasn't used to kill her.
00:11:54I suppose it was too much to hope for.
00:11:56Could have checked, anyway.
00:11:57OK.
00:11:58Well, we know that she hadn't been here before
00:12:00because of the map and directions in her car.
00:12:02But she was visiting by appointment late at night.
00:12:05On the game?
00:12:06Fitz?
00:12:07No, she wasn't carrying any condoms.
00:12:09Not in her bag, anyway.
00:12:11The lights are still on.
00:12:12Why don't we go and have a word with our Mr. Pitchley?
00:12:14Before we go, sir.
00:12:17Well, get on with it.
00:12:17We haven't got all night.
00:12:18Well, what DS Leach said about rank?
00:12:22Shouldn't he be going with you?
00:12:24As long as I'm in charge of this inquiry,
00:12:26I decide who does what.
00:12:28And since this is going to be your last,
00:12:29I'd better make the most of you.
00:12:31Have night.
00:12:46Mr. Pitchley?
00:12:46Yes.
00:12:47Look, it is rather late.
00:12:50I'm D.I. Linley.
00:12:50This is D.C. Havers.
00:12:52I wonder if you come in.
00:12:53It won't take long.
00:12:55Why not?
00:12:58I've got a very long day tomorrow,
00:13:00so if it can be brief...
00:13:01How many cars do you own?
00:13:02Only one.
00:13:03Why?
00:13:04Does the name Martin mean anything to you?
00:13:07The personal trainer at my gym is called Martin.
00:13:11Mrs. Eugenie Martin.
00:13:13Eugenie?
00:13:14That's right.
00:13:15Do you know her?
00:13:15No.
00:13:16Sure.
00:13:17Well, it's an unusual name I've remembered.
00:13:18You sure you don't know her?
00:13:19I've told you, haven't I?
00:13:20Yes, you have.
00:13:21So I'm wondering why she had an appointment with you
00:13:23at 9.30 this evening.
00:13:24How can you say that?
00:13:25She had your address written on a piece of paper
00:13:27in the front seat of her car.
00:13:29With directions and how to get here.
00:13:31But I've told you that I don't know her.
00:13:34You called the police at 9.47.
00:13:38As soon as I found her.
00:13:40You knew it was a woman, then?
00:13:42I can't tell the difference.
00:13:44The body was... was badly damaged.
00:13:47How did you know it was a woman?
00:13:49Are you suggesting that I interfered with the body?
00:13:53Where were you tonight?
00:13:54Having dinner with a friend.
00:13:56Who paid?
00:13:58What the hell's that got to do with anything?
00:14:00All I asked was who paid.
00:14:01Well, if it's really of the slightest relevance, I did.
00:14:03How?
00:14:04Why should you possibly need to know that?
00:14:06You can either tell us here or down at the station, Mr. Pitchley.
00:14:09How did you pay the bill?
00:14:11Cash.
00:14:12You didn't use credit cards?
00:14:13I wasn't carrying any credit cards.
00:14:16This friend you had the meal with...
00:14:20Name?
00:14:21Just a business acquaintance.
00:14:23I've got it somewhere.
00:14:25Look, this has been a ghastly experience.
00:14:27It's completely upset me.
00:14:28It isn't every evening you find a...
00:14:30something like that outside your front door.
00:14:33This is a murder inquiry, Mr. Pitchley.
00:14:35It's your own interest to give us your friend's name.
00:14:38Look here.
00:14:39Through my charity donations, I happen to know some very senior people in the police.
00:14:43And I shan't...
00:14:43So the answer is you won't give us the name of the person who's been in the evening.
00:14:45Well...
00:14:46I'll tell you what the answer is.
00:14:48Hot Tigress?
00:14:50That's private.
00:14:51Come away from there now.
00:14:52Oh, uh, she, um...
00:14:54I assume it is a she.
00:14:55She sent you an email titled,
00:14:58Thanks for a lovely evening.
00:15:00Right.
00:15:00That's it.
00:15:01I've nothing more to say to you whatsoever.
00:15:03Now, I'm going to bed.
00:15:05And you, you're getting out of here right this minute.
00:15:08Mr. Pitchley,
00:15:10we are satisfied that your car was not the car used to kill the woman we believed to be Eugenie Martin.
00:15:16No, of course it wasn't.
00:15:18But we're not satisfied with everything that you've told us.
00:15:21So I ask you again.
00:15:23Did you know Eugenie Martin?
00:15:25No, I didn't know her.
00:15:26But you had an appointment with a woman, all right?
00:15:29You may not have known her by her real name to visit you at 9.30 last night.
00:15:33No, I did not.
00:15:34So you have no idea why Eugenie Martin was on her way to visit you when she died?
00:15:39She couldn't have been on her way to visit me because I didn't know her.
00:15:43I found her dead.
00:15:44That's all.
00:15:46I wish to God I'd just gone in and ignored it.
00:15:49Turning to your emails...
00:15:51Oh, what's that got to do with anything?
00:15:54Superstud.
00:15:55That's you, is it?
00:15:56It depends what you mean.
00:15:58Are you sometimes known as Superstud?
00:16:02In the internet chat rooms, not in real life, obviously.
00:16:07Yes, I am.
00:16:09And in these chat rooms you meet women?
00:16:13Women of a certain age, perhaps.
00:16:15It's not a crime.
00:16:16Eugenie Martin's age.
00:16:18Have you ever met Eugenie Martin there?
00:16:19No.
00:16:22So you cultivate these women on the net and then you meet them for real?
00:16:26And then you have dinner with them, then you take them to the hotel.
00:16:30The, um, Bentley Hotel, I was caught.
00:16:33So what?
00:16:34So what about the one you met earlier tonight?
00:16:38Hot Tigress?
00:16:39Was she Eugenie Martin?
00:16:40No.
00:16:41Have you ever been there before with Eugenie Martin?
00:16:44How many more times I didn't know her?
00:16:48What is Hot Tigress' real name?
00:16:49I don't know.
00:16:50You don't know?
00:16:51No, I don't know their real names.
00:16:54Well, how do you know she wasn't Eugenie Martin?
00:16:55Uh, Eugenie was one of your cyber conquests.
00:17:00You met her last night.
00:17:02No.
00:17:02Took her to the usual restaurant and then on to the Bentley Hotel.
00:17:05It wasn't her.
00:17:07If you don't know Eugenie Martin, how do you know that Hot Tigress wasn't her?
00:17:14Their hair.
00:17:15The body had blonde hair and the one I met was dark.
00:17:20That's why I don't take my credit cards.
00:17:22I pay cash for dinner and for the hotel.
00:17:24I don't know who they are.
00:17:26And I never want them to know who I am.
00:17:29That's the point.
00:17:39Mr. Keene?
00:17:42Certainly is.
00:17:45That's enough for tonight.
00:17:48Tomorrow, first thing, we check out Pitchley's alibi at the hotel.
00:17:51I think the fear will confirm his story.
00:17:53Yeah, so do I.
00:17:54I spent the evening with a woman at the Bentley.
00:17:55I don't think it was Eugenie Martin.
00:17:57But he's not telling us everything.
00:18:00I think he does know.
00:18:03So let's keep the pressure on him.
00:18:05Maybe he'll tell us what he's hiding.
00:18:10One day down.
00:18:11Twenty-seven to go.
00:18:13Yeah, sure.
00:18:15Oh, good night, sir.
00:18:20Good night.
00:18:28Hi.
00:18:31Hi.
00:18:33God, I've got to stop working, I'm afraid.
00:18:35Sorry to be so late.
00:18:36Yeah.
00:18:37I wonder where you've been.
00:18:38You've been working late yourself?
00:18:39Here.
00:18:43Very much.
00:18:45Well, glad you've set your mind at rest.
00:18:57What were you working?
00:19:00I can't.
00:19:01Yes?
00:19:07Mr. Martin, we're police officers.
00:19:10First floor.
00:19:16Monty!
00:19:17Monty, quiet.
00:19:19Quiet.
00:19:21I'm D.I. Lindley.
00:19:22Yes, yes, please come in.
00:19:28I have a car coming for me soon, so you'll have to make this quick.
00:19:32We are investigating your wife's murder.
00:19:35My ex-wife.
00:19:36As I explained to them earlier, she and I have been divorced for nearly twenty years.
00:19:41Yes, we haven't seen her since she left, and we didn't expect to do so again.
00:19:48Well, I do have one or two routine questions, Mr. Martin, I'd like to...
00:19:51When did I last see her?
00:19:53She left the house on July the 11th, 1984.
00:19:57And you've had no contact since?
00:19:58Well, solicitors' letters later that year, divorce formalities, nothing else.
00:20:03You said we haven't seen her.
00:20:05Yes, well, your hearing's accurate.
00:20:09I was referring, of course, to my son.
00:20:11He hasn't heard from his mother since the day she deserted him either.
00:20:16And since you're there, would you mind looking out for a taxi, trying to pull up?
00:20:22One further matter of routine, sir.
00:20:25Yes.
00:20:26Where was I when all this happened?
00:20:28Well, I was at the Wigmore Hall, trying to stop my son from destroying his career.
00:20:33This is who?
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36Gideon Martin.
00:20:38Yeah, the violinist.
00:20:39Yes.
00:20:41Well, I hope I don't have to say ex-violinist.
00:20:44I'm also his business manager.
00:20:47He was on stage and then can play.
00:20:49Yes, that's correct.
00:20:51His career came to a sudden standstill at the end of the piano introduction to Vorzak's songs my mother taught me.
00:20:56And if that taxi ever arrives, I'm on my way to continued damage limitation with the press.
00:21:01Well, what went wrong, sir?
00:21:02There's nothing wrong with him.
00:21:04Except he can't play anymore.
00:21:05But he's hit nerves.
00:21:06There's nothing wrong with him.
00:21:08And you're less than observant, constable.
00:21:10My taxi's already there.
00:21:11Excuse me.
00:21:15Oh, you bloody idiot.
00:21:16Get back in the car.
00:21:17You can't park down there.
00:21:18Well, I presume that would be all.
00:21:23Thank you for your help, sir.
00:21:24We'll keep you posted.
00:21:26Don't bother.
00:21:27My ex-wife deserted her extraordinary son when he was eight years old.
00:21:32Not to mention deserting me.
00:21:34I couldn't care less what happened to her.
00:21:37I didn't know you liked classical music.
00:21:40Working class people can, you know, sir.
00:21:43It's cheap, he was.
00:21:45Yeah, all right, sorry, it was.
00:21:48Actually, I saw it in the paper that he bowled.
00:21:54Which means he was only on stage for half of the program on the night that his mother was killed.
00:21:59The mother who deserted him as a child.
00:22:01So, where was he the rest of the evening?
00:22:06Yes?
00:22:07We're police officers.
00:22:08Yes, of course.
00:22:09Richard called.
00:22:10I'm Gideon's PA.
00:22:11Why don't you come in?
00:22:12I've made some tea.
00:22:17I'm afraid it'll be two more minutes.
00:22:20He does his yoga exercises until then.
00:22:24Everything in this house has done in perfect time.
00:22:27Even his father can't visit until three o'clock.
00:22:35This is lovely.
00:22:38I make them.
00:22:41I used to be a violinist myself until I was engaged to teach Gideon.
00:22:47First day I heard him, I knew my career was over.
00:22:51You don't play anymore?
00:22:53No.
00:22:54I accompany Gideon on the piano for his practice.
00:22:56Yes, that's all.
00:22:58It's a privilege.
00:22:59I was a good musician.
00:23:01Gideon is a great one.
00:23:03But he suffers for it, of course, as they all do.
00:23:06Yeah, I read about the Wigmore Hall.
00:23:09Didn't everyone?
00:23:10Ah.
00:23:12Detective Inspector Lindley, Detective Constable Havers.
00:23:16None of us realised how exhausted he really was.
00:23:19But it's all back to normal now.
00:23:22We're off to America next week and then Japan.
00:23:25Though I always dread Japan, all that raw fish.
00:23:28We've spoken to your father.
00:23:30Sugar?
00:23:31I take it that means you know I can't play.
00:23:33But he won't stop my father turning up, trying to force me.
00:23:37Is that really the subject for a police investigation?
00:23:40That's enough, Raphael.
00:23:46Raphael is protecting me.
00:23:48He always does.
00:23:51Of course.
00:23:51We're sorry about your mother's death.
00:24:01Tell me, what happened last night at Wigmore Hall?
00:24:05I'd give anything to be able to tell you.
00:24:07I went on, played several pieces.
00:24:11Applause.
00:24:13The introduction was played to the Dvorak.
00:24:17Then, blank.
00:24:19You left the stage?
00:24:22That's right.
00:24:22I ran back to my dressing room and locked myself in.
00:24:26I was in sheer panic.
00:24:28Why?
00:24:29I have no idea.
00:24:31Was it a very difficult piece?
00:24:33Songs my mother taught me.
00:24:35Of course not.
00:24:37I've played all the showpieces in the repertoire.
00:24:39They're all technically much more difficult.
00:24:42So, what happened?
00:24:44I don't know.
00:24:45I was fine until the introduction began.
00:24:52And then?
00:24:57That was when I...
00:24:59Smelt it.
00:25:01What?
00:25:03Burning.
00:25:03I could smell burning.
00:25:05I had to get away.
00:25:09Apparently, I was in the dressing room for ages.
00:25:11I just remember my father outside, shouting and shouting.
00:25:16Eventually, I let them in.
00:25:19Raphael gave me a brandy.
00:25:20Then I suppose we came home.
00:25:22No, we didn't.
00:25:23We were there longer than the concert would have lasted in the end.
00:25:28And since then, more blank.
00:25:32As far as the music goes, I...
00:25:34I can't play.
00:25:36I just...
00:25:37I just can't.
00:25:40Yes, I'm doing it with me.
00:25:41Oh, my God.
00:25:42The dressing room isn't making it.
00:25:45Tell me, did you smell any burning last night at all?
00:25:47Burning?
00:25:48Certainly not.
00:25:49Although we are, of course, completely fire-regulated.
00:25:52Yes.
00:25:53So, just to be clear, Gideon left the stage through there and came down these stairs.
00:25:58He ran straight past me.
00:25:59You were here?
00:26:00Of course I was here.
00:26:01I'm the manager.
00:26:02It was a terrible moment.
00:26:04Gideon's been one of our most popular performers for years.
00:26:07Sir?
00:26:08Down here.
00:26:11DC Hayden.
00:26:13That's all you were saying.
00:26:14Yes, he locked himself in.
00:26:16There was pandemonium.
00:26:17Richard shouting at him, then the press people got round.
00:26:20How long was he locked in here for?
00:26:22Hmm, over an hour.
00:26:24Did he talk to anyone through the door?
00:26:26Well, he wouldn't, not a word.
00:26:27We became extremely concerned for his safety.
00:26:29So, he was in here without making any sound for all that time?
00:26:32That's right.
00:26:34Could you open the door, Alex?
00:26:35Yes, of course.
00:26:40Something's bothering me.
00:26:57You mean apart from we've just lost our obvious suspect?
00:26:59Actually, it's something about Weberley.
00:27:05When Leach came round and told him that Eugenie Martin had just been killed.
00:27:09I don't know.
00:27:10It's something he said.
00:27:11I can't put my finger on it.
00:27:13You've gone blank, sir.
00:27:15Hello?
00:27:16Chris?
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:19Okay, the car paint on Eugenie Martin's clothing isn't made anymore.
00:27:23It's come from a car that's made by Humber in the 1950s.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:29Thanks, Chris.
00:27:31Okay, bye.
00:27:35Divorced.
00:27:36What?
00:27:37Eugenie Martin of Strand and the Green divorced.
00:27:40That's what Weberley told me when he briefed me at his home.
00:27:41But the only identification on the body was her driving license.
00:27:46Yeah, and her driver's license.
00:27:48It's not the cordial manital status, no.
00:27:50So how did Weberley know she was divorced?
00:28:01So, Eugenie Martin lives here on her own?
00:28:04Yeah, in the basement.
00:28:11She took a religion series.
00:28:42Certainly did.
00:28:44You know, it's unusual for a devout Catholic of her generation to get divorced.
00:28:51No computer.
00:28:53Talking to Pitchley.
00:28:54She'll get a bad access somewhere else.
00:29:04So, she was proud of her famous son.
00:29:08She never saw him, though.
00:29:09Bobby, he lives in Eugenie.
00:29:11It's hardly a million miles away, is it?
00:29:13No.
00:29:13No family, sir.
00:29:15Might as well have been.
00:29:16Sir?
00:29:16I found a diary.
00:29:29Shemmy.
00:29:30Seems to have lived a life of blameless virtue.
00:29:42God, how awful.
00:29:55And regular appointments.
00:29:56And regular appointments.
00:29:57Voluntary cleaning at the church.
00:30:00What's that?
00:30:02Lunch.
00:30:02Three bells.
00:30:03At least that's not church.
00:30:05And last month.
00:30:08And the one before.
00:30:11And again.
00:30:13First Saturday of every month.
00:30:14Well, maybe she treated herself.
00:30:18Maybe she was meeting someone.
00:30:20It's quite oppressive in here, isn't it?
00:30:23Obviously believed in living the life of the spirit, Hayes.
00:30:26Yeah.
00:30:26May you find peace, it says my name of these books.
00:30:28Look.
00:30:30Convent of the Blessed Masters, 1984.
00:30:33What's this?
00:30:33No.
00:30:34And again.
00:30:35A daughter?
00:30:38No one mentioned one.
00:30:39Not her ex-husband, nor her son.
00:30:43Obviously important enough to be next to the bed.
00:30:51You're looking for something?
00:30:53We're police officers.
00:30:54You have any idea?
00:30:55Hmm?
00:30:56You can't be too careful.
00:30:58Yes.
00:30:59I'm Detective Inspector Lindley.
00:31:01Mm-hmm.
00:31:02This is D.C. Havers.
00:31:04Mm-hmm.
00:31:05Miss Garden.
00:31:06I keep it up for her.
00:31:08Wiley.
00:31:10Major Wiley.
00:31:12I live upstairs.
00:31:15Something happened.
00:31:17I'm afraid Mrs. Martin was killed last night.
00:31:21By a hit-and-run driver.
00:31:26I'm very sorry to hear that.
00:31:29Very.
00:31:30Where did this happen?
00:31:32North London.
00:31:33Well, what was she doing there?
00:31:36Tell me, did her daughter ever come to visit?
00:31:39Didn't know she had one.
00:31:41There was a son, of course.
00:31:43The violinist.
00:31:45But she never mentioned having a daughter.
00:31:47Do you happen to know who she met for lunch on the first Saturday of every month?
00:31:53Not a clue.
00:31:54Well, maybe it was her.
00:31:57Maybe.
00:31:58What were your whereabouts yesterday evening?
00:32:01British Legion.
00:32:03Every Saturday.
00:32:04Never miss.
00:32:05Thank you for telling me about Eugenie.
00:32:14I thought something was happening to her, but the other one wouldn't say.
00:32:20The other one.
00:32:22Copper.
00:32:23Yeah, this morning.
00:32:24Uniform?
00:32:25No, no, no.
00:32:26No, one of your lot.
00:32:27I heard him about and leaving just after six.
00:32:31Come out and challenge him.
00:32:33Did you see his ID, sir?
00:32:35I done well demanded it.
00:32:36You weren't very keen, but it looks genuine enough.
00:32:39Well, what would you do, hmm?
00:32:41Strange man coming out of a respectable woman's flat with a package.
00:32:47A package?
00:32:48A big package.
00:32:49Ombrella.
00:32:51Do you remember his name, sir?
00:32:54Just a name.
00:32:55Name of Leach.
00:33:01What the hell do you think you're playing?
00:33:03Not with you, sir.
00:33:04You can say that again.
00:33:06Well, let me remind you that I am in charge of this inquiry.
00:33:09Oh, I hadn't forgotten that, sir.
00:33:12What were you doing at the victim's house?
00:33:13Normal procedure following a death.
00:33:15I think I taught you that myself.
00:33:17You'll have logged it, then?
00:33:18No.
00:33:19It was just a routine search.
00:33:21So you'll have logged the package, then?
00:33:23What package?
00:33:25Listen.
00:33:26You don't need me to remind you.
00:33:28I don't need you to tell me anything!
00:33:31Suppressing evidence isn't just disciplinary, Brian.
00:33:33It's criminal.
00:33:37Now, what is it?
00:33:38And where is it?
00:33:40There's no package.
00:33:43All right.
00:33:43It's out of my hands.
00:33:45What's the one thing any police officer can expect from the rest of his colleagues, come what may?
00:33:51Loyalty.
00:33:52Something else I tried to teach you, but something you could never learn.
00:33:56You're obstructing a murder inquiry.
00:34:00The package, or I go to Weberley.
00:34:03Oh, I wouldn't do that.
00:34:04Not unless you want to be joining her on the way out.
00:34:07Now listen.
00:34:08I'll do everything I can to help this inquiry.
00:34:11But anything else, anything that has no relevance, you stay right away.
00:34:16And I think you'll find that doesn't just come from me.
00:34:20Shut up, Harris.
00:34:20This isn't the end.
00:34:27Yes, it is.
00:34:28I can't believe you let him do that.
00:34:39I'm taking you off this inquiry.
00:34:41Why?
00:34:41You've already resigned.
00:34:43No, sir.
00:34:43I am still in the job.
00:34:45Listen to me, Havers.
00:34:46People don't make friends like that for fun.
00:34:48I don't know what's going on here, but it's not just about a murder.
00:34:52You are going to need your reference.
00:34:54No, that is my problem.
00:34:55I stay, if that's all right.
00:34:58Sir, there seems to be a problem at General Registry.
00:35:03There are files on Eugenie Martin, but they seem to have got lost.
00:35:06What do you mean, lost?
00:35:07Well, someone seems to have taken them out and not returned them, sir.
00:35:10They can't find a record of who it was.
00:35:13Oh, well.
00:35:18Get them to search again.
00:35:19Yes, sir.
00:35:21And, sir, the victim's mobile phone records will be here tomorrow.
00:35:26Thank you, miss.
00:35:31I stay till this is over, yeah?
00:35:35All right.
00:35:37Let's go and find that daughter.
00:35:44Is this meant to be some kind of joke?
00:35:46We only want to talk to her, sir.
00:35:48Why should that be a joke?
00:35:50You mean you...
00:35:53My daughter, Sophie, died when she was three.
00:35:59She was murdered.
00:36:03Terrible sorry, sir.
00:36:04So you should be.
00:36:05You most certainly should be.
00:36:07You should be.
00:36:16I'm sorry, sir.
00:36:17You should have known that.
00:36:19It doesn't help, does it?
00:36:23You must have split up not long after the daughter died.
00:36:26You find the files on Sophie Martin's murder.
00:36:28I'm going to follow your lead.
00:36:30Go to the convent of the blessed martyrs.
00:36:31Yes, sir.
00:36:32Oh, and there is still the question of who it was Eugenie met every month.
00:36:34I know that, sergeant!
00:36:39Constable, sir.
00:36:40Oh, Eugenie.
00:36:45God chose to try her very hard.
00:36:49When was the last time you saw her?
00:36:52Oh, not for many years.
00:36:54Oh, she came here a lot after the murder.
00:36:57And even after she left the area for a while.
00:37:01We're trying to trace someone who seems to have had lunch with her at the beginning of each month.
00:37:05Have you any idea who that might be?
00:37:07Oh, I didn't know any of her friends.
00:37:11I remember little Sophie.
00:37:13She was blessed here.
00:37:16Oh, the poor little thing had Down syndrome.
00:37:19Which makes it even more terrible if that were possible.
00:37:24It was the au pair who killed her.
00:37:28A German girl.
00:37:31She drowned her in the bath.
00:37:37Yeah, it's all fine.
00:37:44Yeah, bye.
00:37:48Okay, the three bills doesn't take bookings, so there's no record of Eugenie or who she had lunch with.
00:37:53And Saturdays is always very crowded.
00:37:56Oh, and Maitie Wiley is at the Chiswick British Legion every Saturday night without fail.
00:38:00So, the Martin file's turned up, I see.
00:38:04Yeah, I've just been going through them.
00:38:05And, uh, Sophie had, uh...
00:38:07Down syndrome, yes, I was told.
00:38:09Drowned by the au pair.
00:38:11Yeah, Katya Wolfe.
00:38:12Uh, who was released three weeks ago?
00:38:15Well, that's something I didn't know.
00:38:17So Katya Wolfe is released.
00:38:19And the child's mother gets murdered three weeks later.
00:38:22Good work, Hades.
00:38:24Thank you, sir.
00:38:25Um, something else I didn't know.
00:38:27A bit of tea?
00:38:39Yes, sir.
00:38:40Great, Eugenie.
00:38:41Thanks, mate.
00:38:42So, the inquiry into little Sophie Martin's murder was led by Webley, then DCI, and Leach, then as now a sergeant.
00:39:04Yeah, which neither of them thought to mention.
00:39:06Webley must know that Katya Wolfe is out.
00:39:08Yeah, but he never mentioned her either, not even when Leach rushed around to tell him about Eugenie Martin's murder.
00:39:13And then I was put on the case.
00:39:14Yeah, with me, which I don't think is an accident.
00:39:18Meaning?
00:39:21Are we off the record here, sir?
00:39:23Down nearly off the force, Habers.
00:39:24Just say it.
00:39:29I don't think that Webley wants us to solve Eugenie Martin's murder at all.
00:39:35I think he wants the right result.
00:39:38Are you saying that we were put on this case because we won't rock the boat if we find out something that Webley and Leach want covered up?
00:39:47Well, why else?
00:39:48Well, it's not as if I am Policewoman of the Year, is it?
00:39:52No, we bring in the right result and I'll get my stripes back.
00:39:56You know what?
00:39:56They can keep the bloody rank.
00:39:57I don't want it back like that.
00:39:58What do you think is the right result?
00:40:01I don't know.
00:40:02But Webley wants a cover-up.
00:40:04And he's relying on your loyalty to him to get it.
00:40:08That's the only bit I think you've got wrong.
00:40:09I think he's relying on my loyalty to you.
00:40:11To me?
00:40:14Why the hell do you think I've resigned?
00:40:18You got me demoted.
00:40:22You betrayed me.
00:40:24Oh, just use your head, Habers.
00:40:25No, you lost me my rank.
00:40:26Shut up and listen.
00:40:26You were not meant to know this.
00:40:34Webley wanted to have you sacked.
00:40:36I had to persuade him to let you stay.
00:40:41Which is why I wasn't going to let you throw it all away.
00:40:43Linley?
00:40:59Right away, sir.
00:41:02Tommy!
00:41:04Habers.
00:41:06Come in, sit down.
00:41:07Ah, progress so far.
00:41:17We were on our way to visit Catcher Wolf, sir.
00:41:20Were you?
00:41:21Were you indeed?
00:41:23Didn't realize that you and Brian were only inquiring to the Sophie Martin murder.
00:41:26Well, now you do.
00:41:33Yes, now we do.
00:41:36I didn't tell you because I didn't want to prejudice your own inquiry.
00:41:40But now you do know.
00:41:43Catcher Wolf, in my book, is number one in the frame.
00:41:47She should never have been released.
00:41:48If you can murder a handicapped child, what can't you do?
00:41:52That bitch was evil through and through.
00:41:56Sir, can I talk to you alone, please?
00:41:59It's all right.
00:42:16Sergeant Leach removed...
00:42:18Brian Leach is one of the finest detectives I have ever served with.
00:42:24He removed evidence from the victim's home, sir.
00:42:26He denies that.
00:42:29Yes, sir.
00:42:32He does.
00:42:35Brian was the first officer on the scene that night.
00:42:42He found the kid's body.
00:42:47That inquiry changed all of us forever.
00:42:51If we hadn't put that woman away, she'd have been another Hindley.
00:42:55We all knew that.
00:42:59It was Eugenie's testimony, as the mother, that really swung the jury.
00:43:07Wolf has done 20 years inside.
00:43:09Don't tell me she hasn't spent all of that time planning to pay back the woman who put her there.
00:43:14You go and get her for me, Tommy.
00:43:29Would that be the right result, sir?
00:43:31Sir, just get her.
00:43:40Well, did he tell you what was in the package?
00:43:43What package?
00:43:43Leach was the first officer on the scene the night that Stephen Martin was murdered, right?
00:43:50Who else was in the house that night?
00:43:52Um, Richard and Eugene, Gideon's parents.
00:43:56Uh, Gideon and Raphael, who was then Gideon's violin teacher.
00:44:00And a lawyer called Jimmy Pike.
00:44:02Find out where he is now.
00:44:04What about the Pitchley Alibay?
00:44:05Oh, he checks out.
00:44:06But he left the Bentley Hotel at 8.30pm.
00:44:09Now, there was an accident on the Marley Glen Road which delayed northbound traffic that night.
00:44:14That makes an hour's journey, at least.
00:44:17He still could have killed her when he got back.
00:44:19It's possible.
00:44:20Sir.
00:44:21Yes, Mason.
00:44:22I got them, sir.
00:44:24Eugenie Martin's mobile phone records.
00:44:27I cross-referenced them for you, sir.
00:44:30She made nine calls in the last month, all very short, to Gideon Martin.
00:44:37Did she really?
00:44:40Mason, you'll go far.
00:44:42Thank you, sir.
00:44:44Well, they were in touch.
00:44:47I wonder what she wanted.
00:44:48I haven't seen my mother since I was eight.
00:44:51What about her phone calls?
00:44:53Your mother made a number of calls, very short ones, to you, in the last few weeks of her life.
00:45:00Did you tell your father?
00:45:02No.
00:45:03Why not?
00:45:04Because we don't talk about her.
00:45:07I don't know how she got my number.
00:45:09The press, maybe.
00:45:11I couldn't speak to her.
00:45:13I didn't want to speak to her.
00:45:15What did she want?
00:45:16To see me.
00:45:18After all these years, my mother wanted to see me.
00:45:20She said that.
00:45:21She said there must be forgiveness each time she called.
00:45:25There must be forgiveness.
00:45:27Well, I don't forgive her.
00:45:29She left us.
00:45:31My father and Raphael brought me up.
00:45:34I didn't want to speak to her.
00:45:36And do you regret that?
00:45:38Now that it's too late?
00:45:40Do you know I don't believe I do?
00:45:41I realized when I was much older that my parents' marriage couldn't cope with the death of my little sister.
00:45:47But that doesn't excuse her deserting me.
00:45:52Forgiveness.
00:45:52Why should there be forgiveness?
00:45:55Do you know any of your mother's friends?
00:45:58I don't know where she lived.
00:45:59What she did.
00:46:00Nothing.
00:46:01Have you had contact from Catchy Wolf?
00:46:04I have a letter.
00:46:06He means the standard one from the Home Office.
00:46:08They send it out to victims' families to say she's being released.
00:46:11I don't suppose I'd even recognize her now.
00:46:15And what about Jimmy Pike?
00:46:18There's a name from the past.
00:46:20What happened to him?
00:46:22Scouse Jimmy.
00:46:23Scouse?
00:46:24And then some.
00:46:26When he first moved in, we virtually needed an interpreter.
00:46:30I think I improved him.
00:46:32Really?
00:46:33In what way?
00:46:35Well, Jimmy was ambitious.
00:46:37I taught him how to hold a knife and fork and say lavatory
00:46:40rather than toilet.
00:46:42That sort of thing.
00:46:44I think he immigrated.
00:46:46I can't remember anything about that night.
00:46:49I can't remember my mother or my sister.
00:46:52The strange thing is I can only remember Catia being nice.
00:47:06Catchy Wolf?
00:47:08Cops.
00:47:10I'm D.I. Lenny.
00:47:11This is D.C. Mavers.
00:47:15I'm on a license from a life sentence.
00:47:18I'm going to run away, aren't I?
00:47:20It's closing time.
00:47:24Just a routine check, catcher.
00:47:27Yeah, sure.
00:47:28That's why they sent a detective inspector.
00:47:31Were you working here on Tuesday?
00:47:33Like every day.
00:47:34We come to this dump at eight and go home at six.
00:47:37It's what they call freedom.
00:47:39And the evening?
00:47:41At home.
00:47:43Home is with her.
00:47:45We did not go out.
00:47:47How long have you known each other?
00:47:49Eight years.
00:47:51She is the only person I know whose life has been more destroyed than my own.
00:47:55But I stopped protesting my innocence a long time ago.
00:48:00What do you want?
00:48:02Gotcha.
00:48:03How do you get about?
00:48:05You know, from home to here, here to home.
00:48:07I walk.
00:48:11The air in Peckham is like wine.
00:48:14And, uh, did your friend have a car?
00:48:16No.
00:48:18You think I've been nicking cars?
00:48:20I can't drive.
00:48:23Sophie's mother, Eugenie Martin, was murdered.
00:48:27Someone ran her down, backed over her, and then did it again just to make certain.
00:48:31Marcy, tell them where I was on Tuesday night.
00:48:40Can't you people leave her alone?
00:48:43She's done her time.
00:48:44Just tell them.
00:48:47Home.
00:48:48With me.
00:48:50Can anyone else confirm that?
00:48:52No, of course not.
00:48:54We're lying.
00:48:56We did it together.
00:48:57Did what?
00:48:59Tell them who else was at the house.
00:49:01My son.
00:49:03All night.
00:49:06Thank you for the trouble.
00:49:08We're detaining further.
00:49:13Well?
00:49:14Well, I didn't like her much, but I found her convincing.
00:49:18Convincity of what, exactly?
00:49:19Well, OK, she had motive.
00:49:21She had opportunity, and how do we know she can't drive?
00:49:23But it's only a gut feeling, but I don't think she killed Eugenie.
00:49:28All right.
00:49:31Who else do we have?
00:49:34Gideon, he also has a motive.
00:49:35Hated his mother.
00:49:37She's starting to contact him again.
00:49:40What about carrying on at the Wigmore Hall?
00:49:41Yeah, if he could have got out of the dressing room.
00:49:44But she couldn't.
00:49:47Raphael?
00:49:49Richard?
00:49:50Well, maybe they killed Eugenie to stop her contacting her son.
00:49:54All due respect to your gut feeling, neighbors, Katja Wolfe is the lead suspect.
00:50:01Only problem is, I don't believe she did it either.
00:50:03Oh, hello.
00:50:05Hello?
00:50:10Yes, all right.
00:50:12Give me a chance to get home first.
00:50:16Here, 8.30.
00:50:18I'll be there, sir.
00:50:19Oi.
00:50:20Oi.
00:50:20Oi.
00:50:26Hello?
00:50:28Oh, hello, darling.
00:50:29Sorry.
00:50:30Just the person I want to see.
00:50:31Oh, that's nice to know.
00:50:34Tell me, why would a professional violinist who's been performing all his life
00:50:38suddenly go blank and run off stage in the middle of a concert?
00:50:42I read about that.
00:50:43Gideon Martin.
00:50:44Why are you asking?
00:50:45He's involved in the case I'm working on.
00:50:48Well, stage fright can happen after years of experience,
00:50:51but I'd ask what he's running away from.
00:50:53Sounds like negative association.
00:50:55Negative association?
00:50:57You mean he might not be running away from playing the piece itself?
00:50:59Exactly.
00:51:00He could be running away from some other experience that the concert represents to him.
00:51:04Like?
00:51:05Anything traumatic.
00:51:06The place, the colour, a sound.
00:51:09Maybe I'm just over-analysing.
00:51:10Maybe he just hasn't practised enough.
00:51:12I hardly think that's likely.
00:51:14I've, um, got a bit of news.
00:51:17Oh, yes?
00:51:18I'm pregnant.
00:51:22My goodness.
00:51:23Are you sure?
00:51:25Well, I waited, I was certain.
00:51:30It's traditional to be pleased.
00:51:33I'm sorry, it's just a shock.
00:51:34Of course I'm pleased.
00:51:36Darling.
00:51:38I'm delighted.
00:51:39Really?
00:51:40Of course I am.
00:51:41Mother will be thrilled.
00:51:42Well, as it's going to be my last for ages, I thought we'd have a drink to celebrate.
00:51:49Good night, dear.
00:51:50I'm sorry.
00:51:52I've got to go out.
00:51:53Tonight?
00:51:55For all nights?
00:51:56We're off duty.
00:51:57I know.
00:51:58I absolutely have to.
00:52:00I'll only be gone a couple of hours.
00:52:02Maximum.
00:52:02I'll have it when I get back.
00:52:04Why not?
00:52:05Okay, I'm ready to go.
00:52:08Sooner out, sooner back.
00:52:09Hmm.
00:52:35Thanks for coming, Tommy.
00:52:47I assume, uh...
00:52:49No one knows I'm here.
00:52:51Cheers.
00:52:52Cheers.
00:52:57How was Katya Wolf?
00:53:00Alibi, it's, uh...
00:53:02All right, only by the woman she lives with, but, uh...
00:53:04She also said she can't drive.
00:53:06She could have been lying.
00:53:07She could have learned in Germany.
00:53:10I don't think she did it.
00:53:11Of course she did it.
00:53:13Well, maybe.
00:53:16The only one we haven't found so far is the lodger, Jimmy Pike.
00:53:21Uh, driving license, usual stuff, I haven't turned him up.
00:53:23Raphael thinks he may have emigrated.
00:53:24So what?
00:53:25I told you to get Eugenie's killer,
00:53:28not reopen an inquiry that resulted in a conviction a quarter of a century ago.
00:53:34I'm not satisfied.
00:53:39This...
00:53:39This all seems to matter rather a lot to you, doesn't it, sir?
00:53:45Meaning?
00:53:46Meaning there's something I am not being told.
00:53:49And you and Brian Leach want to make certain I don't find out what that is.
00:53:52I could have you back on the beat for that.
00:53:54What was in the package, sir?
00:53:56Now, listen to me, Tommy.
00:53:59And after this, neither of us is ever going to refer to it again.
00:54:03There was nothing in any package relevant to your inquiries.
00:54:07You will just have to trust me.
00:54:10And outside of this pub, there is no package.
00:54:13Full stop.
00:54:14That bitch kills Eugenie.
00:54:22Get her.
00:54:24And leave the past where it belongs.
00:54:25Let's go.
00:54:55What's happening?
00:55:08Yeah, ambulance.
00:55:18Touch and go.
00:55:20Not something that might make you feel a little better.
00:55:25I recognise him.
00:55:28James Pitchley. Younger.
00:55:29Yeah, 20 years younger.
00:55:31Only in those days he was known as Jimmy Pike.
00:55:34Jimmy Pike?
00:55:35Yeah, the missing lodger.
00:55:40Well?
00:55:42I have to ask, Brian, where were you last night?
00:55:55I want to take your aristocratic face off for that.
00:55:58That's not an answer.
00:56:00Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Tommy, but apart from the fact that I would walk through fire for that man in there, I've got 76 witnesses. Lodge meeting.
00:56:09What was in the package?
00:56:11I don't know.
00:56:13You don't know.
00:56:14You don't know.
00:56:15I am sick of this.
00:56:16I am so sick of this.
00:56:18Shall I tell you what I don't know?
00:56:20I don't know why you and Weberly had forgotten that Sophie Martin had been murdered when she was one of the biggest inquiries of your career.
00:56:26Neither do I know why you tore halfway across London to interrupt his wedding anniversary to tell him personally that her mother, Eugenie, had just been murdered.
00:56:35Most of all, I don't know why you went through the victim's house and removed evidence.
00:56:42But I'll tell you something I do know, shall I?
00:56:45These murders are connected, and whatever else I uncover, I'm going to find out why.
00:56:50Come on, Abus.
00:56:56Anything?
00:56:57Nothing definite.
00:56:58Catcher Law's initial statement said she left Sophie in the bath momentarily because she smelt burning, and on her return, the child had drowned.
00:57:24What about you?
00:57:27Eugenie's phone calls to Gideon.
00:57:30How does she get the number?
00:57:33He's hardly in the book, is he?
00:57:35When was the first call?
00:57:39Last month, Saturday the 4th, 4.03pm.
00:57:51Well, that's the first Saturday.
00:57:54She had a monthly lunch meeting on the first Saturday.
00:57:58So she arrives home with a number, which she got from whoever it was she had lunch with.
00:58:03Richard?
00:58:04I doubt it.
00:58:05Raphael?
00:58:06That shrine she kept to Gideon in her flat.
00:58:11I mean, though she left him, she still could have kept up with him.
00:58:15Through Raphael?
00:58:16Yeah.
00:58:17And she persuades him to give her Gideon's number, so she can ask him for forgiveness.
00:58:32Where the hell have you been all night?
00:58:46Oh, Helen, I'm sorry.
00:58:47And you didn't think to call?
00:58:49But...
00:58:50Oh, forget it.
00:58:52Well, you did.
00:58:53No, no, I'm sorry, darling.
00:58:55I am so sorry.
00:58:56Oh, thank you, ma'am.
00:59:08Who else smelt burning?
00:59:10What?
00:59:11Well, Katja Wolfe's statement, she said she smelt burning.
00:59:14That's why she left little Sophie in the bath.
00:59:16But who else said they smelt burning?
00:59:18Gideon Martin, when I was talking about his blankness at the Woodmore Hall.
00:59:21That's right, but no one else did.
00:59:23And the manager said there was no fire.
00:59:26Do you think Gideon imagined it?
00:59:32Sir.
00:59:36Sir.
00:59:40Helen's pregnant.
00:59:44Helen's pregnant and you leave in 25 days.
00:59:47Uh, 24.
00:59:4924.
00:59:50Even better.
00:59:51Well, that is wonderful.
00:59:55Isn't it?
00:59:58Yes, it is.
00:59:59Of course it is.
01:00:00No, it's Don't.
01:00:01Of course it is, but just can include one.
01:00:03naughty dog.
01:00:04Oh!
01:00:05It looks like the squaredors are calmed loose.
01:00:06To dark you're sick.
01:00:07Well, technically you are getting more forced to feel old.
01:00:08Ooh!
01:00:10Not too bad.
01:00:11Run!
01:00:12To冷 and clean.
01:00:13You go through your head.
01:00:16Yay!
01:00:17What can we believe?
01:00:18Do you want to ult 자리를 go next to this?
01:00:20To escape you'm instant?
01:00:22Oh!
01:00:23There yours is일 now on.
01:00:24Nice.
01:00:25The Great is being seen forayed cameras all over there.
01:00:26Excuse me. Excuse me. Do you mind waiting?
01:00:38What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:00:44James Pitchley.
01:00:48Otherwise known as Jimmy Pike.
01:00:50You've changed your name.
01:00:52It's not a crime.
01:00:53Obstructing the police is.
01:00:56You told us you didn't know Eugenie Martin.
01:00:59Now tell us the truth or I'll have no choice but to arrest you.
01:01:02I didn't see her that night until I found her dead.
01:01:08But yes, yes, I knew Eugenie.
01:01:11I was their lodger up to when Sophie was murdered and I changed my name so I lied to you.
01:01:18Why?
01:01:19Why?
01:01:20Well, look at me. Look at this.
01:01:23I'm a multi-millionaire, self-made.
01:01:26Property.
01:01:28And grew up in one room in what the media now calls Toxteth.
01:01:32There were no jobs in Liverpool then. No future.
01:01:35So I came to London with ten quid in my pocket where I saw that estate agents made a lot of money.
01:01:41All I needed was a smart suit and a smart accent.
01:01:44And I saved up for the suit.
01:01:47Why was Eugenie visiting you that night?
01:01:48I hadn't seen or heard from her for 20 years.
01:01:53Then out of the blue, she phoned me here.
01:01:56She wanted to talk about when her daughter was murdered.
01:01:59What about it?
01:02:00She was still terribly damaged by it, as she would be.
01:02:04She got very religious.
01:02:07She kept saying that they had to be forgiving.
01:02:10Something like that.
01:02:11And I felt very sorry for her.
01:02:12And why ask around at 9.30 in the evening?
01:02:14I didn't want to miss my earlier appointment.
01:02:18What were the Martins like together?
01:02:20If their children had been normal, they'd have probably been happy.
01:02:25As it was.
01:02:26One super talented, one disabled.
01:02:29They just didn't know what had hit them.
01:02:31They were working at two, three jobs each to pay for it all.
01:02:34And when they weren't working, they just quarrelled.
01:02:38Violently?
01:02:39No.
01:02:40No, they were just tired out.
01:02:42I had no idea why Katja did it.
01:02:45She seemed to love Sophie.
01:02:47Did you fancy Katja Wolfe?
01:02:48Yes, I did.
01:02:50But I was skint.
01:02:53Richard, though.
01:02:55What about him?
01:02:56Richard was more her type, if you see what I mean.
01:03:01Do you mean they were having an affair?
01:03:03She didn't say anything to me.
01:03:05Neither did he, of course.
01:03:07But...
01:03:07Oh, yes.
01:03:08Yes, I...
01:03:09I think they were.
01:03:14I'm afraid he's doing his...
01:03:15Yoga.
01:03:16Yes, I know.
01:03:17It's all right.
01:03:17We're here to see you.
01:03:24So how's the food at the Three Bells?
01:03:26We know about your lunches with Eugenie and the first Saturday of every month.
01:03:30Please don't tell him.
01:03:32She was always kind to me.
01:03:34I did no harm.
01:03:35What's the matter with you?
01:03:36I'll tell you what the matter is.
01:03:37When I find people have been lying to me in a murder inquiry, I become suspicious.
01:03:41What did you talk about the last time you met?
01:03:43Well, what we always talked about.
01:03:45She wanted to know all about him, what he'd been doing, his success, his friends.
01:03:50I mean, she was still his mother.
01:03:51Did she tell you that she'd been in contact with Gideon?
01:03:53Yes, but she knew he wouldn't speak to her.
01:03:57Well, are you sure about that?
01:03:59To give you a very good motive for killing her?
01:04:01To protect your beloved prodigy from the mother who walked down 20 years ago.
01:04:06Gideon understands why she left.
01:04:10Eugenie never recovered from Sophie's death.
01:04:12Do you own a vintage car?
01:04:13A vintage car?
01:04:17What on earth do you imagine they pay me?
01:04:20It's not my style, I'm afraid.
01:04:22More Richard.
01:04:23Well, he used to have one.
01:04:24An old black thing.
01:04:26I don't know if he's still got it.
01:04:30Hey, Liz.
01:04:31Why didn't you tell me that Richard and Katja Wolfe were having an affair?
01:04:34I thought everyone knew that.
01:04:36Thanks.
01:04:37Sir.
01:04:45Probably died this morning.
01:05:01Are you still going to conceal the truth about the inquiring to Sophie Martin's murder?
01:05:16Nothing has been concealed.
01:05:18Don't you think we're a bit beyond that now?
01:05:20Look, we're supposed to be looking for the person that wants them both dead.
01:05:23Does your loyalty to Webley extend to protecting his killer?
01:05:31The package, Brian.
01:05:34I've got to see the package.
01:05:36I can't, Tommy.
01:05:37I can't.
01:05:37Not now.
01:05:39Brian Eric Leach.
01:05:40I am arresting you on suspicion of concealing evidence.
01:05:42Oh, for heaven's sake.
01:05:56Come on.
01:06:01Webley's love letters.
01:06:28He had an affair with Eugenie.
01:06:33Totally against regulations, of course.
01:06:35It would have ended his career if they'd been discovered.
01:06:39She'd been trying to see him.
01:06:40It started just after Katja Wolfe's release.
01:06:44He refused to talk to her.
01:06:46He thought she was trying to start things up again.
01:06:50Because she kept saying there had to be forgiveness.
01:06:53How the hell did you know that?
01:06:54But she didn't want to start up again, did she?
01:06:59She was trying to ask him something.
01:07:02Or tell him something else.
01:07:04Something about forgiveness.
01:07:08What was it that had to be forgiven, Brian?
01:07:10I don't know.
01:07:12God help me, I don't!
01:07:14I believe you.
01:07:19But I also believe that you two keeping their affairs secret led to both their deaths.
01:07:23Oh, don't be ridiculous.
01:07:25All I know is, is he's not even in his grave yet, and you're ruining his reputation.
01:07:31The finest officer I ever worked with.
01:07:33What are you doing?
01:07:49You don't have to be a part of this.
01:07:51Look, you are damn right.
01:07:53I don't need a criminal prosecution for concealing evidence.
01:07:57Don't you think I'm in enough trouble already?
01:08:01Sorry, I agree with Brian.
01:08:02I don't see that their affair is relevant.
01:08:07Right, we said that we would follow this wherever it led.
01:08:11Anyway, you've only got 24 days left.
01:08:14Since you're leaving, it would be utterly unfair of me to involve you in concealing evidence.
01:08:17So you weren't here.
01:08:19I was here.
01:08:23I am here.
01:08:24All I'm trying to say is, if you're leaving, and if you're really leaving, I'm going to miss you.
01:08:31Look, if Eugenie and Webley's affair becomes relevant to our inquiry, you produce the letters.
01:08:48Agreed?
01:08:49So, around the time that Catchy Wolf was released, Eugenie started making contact with the other people in the house the night her daughter was murdered.
01:09:09Telling them there had to be forgiveness.
01:09:15What was it that had to be forgiven?
01:09:18Richard and Catchy's affair.
01:09:20Why would she and Webley have to forgive that?
01:09:22Well, if they were both having an affair, she and Webley, Richard and the au pair, then...
01:09:26Well, maybe she felt she betrayed her marriage and...
01:09:29Excuse me.
01:09:32Habers?
01:09:39TVLA.
01:09:41Richard Martin is still the registered owner of a 1959 black Humberhawk.
01:09:46Is he indeed?
01:09:47Is he indeed?
01:09:56I don't think now is a very good time.
01:10:09We'll just have to take that in our stride.
01:10:11Excuse me.
01:10:14I can't look at it.
01:10:15I'll hear it.
01:10:16Let go of it.
01:10:17Look at it.
01:10:18How dare you come bursting in here.
01:10:20I said let go of it.
01:10:21What do you want now?
01:10:22More information she'll have found out long ago?
01:10:24Take Gideon outside.
01:10:27Come on, get some fresh air.
01:10:28I'll work with your father.
01:10:33You know I'd do anything to make it right, Gideon.
01:10:35You know that.
01:10:36You've destroyed me.
01:10:37I saw to it that no one got the chance to destroy you.
01:10:44Well, what do you want with me now?
01:10:48Detective Superintendent Webley,
01:10:50the man who brought the murderer of your child to justice,
01:10:53has been killed
01:10:55in exactly the same way as your ex-wife.
01:10:59Well, most certainly with the same car.
01:11:02Oh, my God.
01:11:05Mr. Martin, did you have an affair with Katia Wolf?
01:11:08Oh, for God's sake, that was years ago.
01:11:13Did your wife know?
01:11:15What the hell has that got to do with anything now?
01:11:20Look, Katia was young.
01:11:22She was pretty.
01:11:24Jeannie was tired all the time.
01:11:27I had two jobs.
01:11:28She had three.
01:11:28We had to pay for all the care for Sophie,
01:11:30all the tuition for Gideon.
01:11:33Katia killed my daughter.
01:11:34And whatever you may think, Inspector,
01:11:37both of my children were equally precious to me.
01:11:40On the night that Katia killed your daughter,
01:11:42did you smell burning?
01:11:44Well, what do you mean?
01:11:46Burning.
01:11:48Burning?
01:11:50Not that I can recall.
01:11:52Why, what's that got to do with anything?
01:11:54How did you know something was happening?
01:11:55Did you hear a struggle?
01:11:56Shouting?
01:11:57Noises?
01:11:57I didn't hear anything.
01:11:59Why not?
01:12:00There was music playing.
01:12:03There was always music playing in our house.
01:12:07Thank you, Mr. Martin.
01:12:09That's all.
01:12:11One more thing, Mr. Martin.
01:12:13Our records show that you owned a 1950s Humberhawk car.
01:12:19Good God, that old thing.
01:12:20You do?
01:12:21I used to.
01:12:22I got rid of it years ago.
01:12:23And what color was it?
01:12:25It was black.
01:12:26Who did you sell it to?
01:12:28I've no idea.
01:12:31After Sophie was killed and Eugenie went off,
01:12:34Gideon and I went to America so he could study.
01:12:37Everything in the house was sold off.
01:12:39I wanted to make a clean break with the past.
01:12:41So you have no record at all about where that car might be now?
01:12:45Well, of course I don't.
01:12:47Why are you asking me this?
01:12:51Is this the best you can come up with?
01:12:57Darling, are you all right?
01:13:00Oh, I think so.
01:13:01I thought for a minute I was going to be sick.
01:13:04Oh, poor thing.
01:13:06Oh, I don't know.
01:13:08It's quite exciting, really.
01:13:09Proves it's happening.
01:13:11I wonder if I'll still be saying that in six months.
01:13:13Hope it doesn't last that long.
01:13:14Look, look, I'm sorry I've, uh, I've been so...
01:13:23Busy?
01:13:24Yes.
01:13:28That is all it is.
01:13:32What do you mean?
01:13:33I mean, do you really want this baby?
01:13:40Of course I do.
01:13:42Of course.
01:13:46Say it.
01:13:47You've only just walked in.
01:13:50If you were having an affair with her, that would be one thing, but...
01:13:53I don't see you, Tommy.
01:13:57It's work.
01:13:59Well, go on, then.
01:14:01Go on.
01:14:01Um...
01:14:01Lily.
01:14:04I, um, I'm sorry to interrupt your evening, sir, but, um, our leading suspect has just become
01:14:09our latest victim.
01:14:11Get that dog out of here!
01:14:13Who's dog's there?
01:14:15It's all right.
01:14:16I'll get him.
01:14:19Come on.
01:14:21Come on.
01:14:22Constable?
01:14:23Can't take care of this dog, will ya?
01:14:31We have a witness.
01:14:33The cyclist passed him when walking.
01:14:35He, uh, heard the bang, turned around to see it reverse over and then accelerate forward.
01:14:40He didn't get a number.
01:14:41Oh, damn it at last.
01:14:43Yeah, well, he was shocked.
01:14:45He, uh, he did say it was black and old-fashioned.
01:14:47I mean, we could show him some photos and he can ID it when he's feeling a bit better.
01:14:50Wait, that now, he can feel better later.
01:14:51Didn't see the driver?
01:14:52Uh, not at all.
01:14:54Richard was walking his dog, was he?
01:14:56Yeah, apparently he comes down here twice a day, regular as clockwork.
01:14:58Which, anyone who knew him would know.
01:15:01I've just had to make your argument with his son, who said in our hearing,
01:15:05you destroyed me.
01:15:08Freak more hall.
01:15:09Look, this really is rather a nuisance.
01:15:24So are three murders.
01:15:33So Gideon was in here, while you and everyone else were outside?
01:15:37Yes, as I told you last time.
01:15:38And how long was he in here for?
01:15:41Till about ten.
01:15:42I think he'd have stayed all night if Richard hadn't threatened to break the door down.
01:15:46Well, he was an absolute nightmare, to be honest.
01:15:49Didn't stop shouting the whole time.
01:15:51What did he shout?
01:15:52Oh, you know, trying to make Gideon open the door.
01:15:55And, of course, shouting for Raphael.
01:15:58Who'd gone to get Gideon a brandy?
01:15:59That's right.
01:16:00Although I've no idea where he went for it.
01:16:03Why'd he say that?
01:16:04Well, it took him ages.
01:16:08I don't know how much more Gideon can take.
01:16:12It's you we want to talk to.
01:16:14Where were you at 6 o'clock this evening?
01:16:16Me?
01:16:16I went out to the supermarket.
01:16:18Probably got the receipt.
01:16:20I was just fixing a drink.
01:16:22Drinks can wait.
01:16:22When the Martins split up and Richard and Gideon went to America, you were left in charge of selling the house, the furniture and so on.
01:16:30Yes, I think I was.
01:16:34What did you do with the car?
01:16:36The car?
01:16:37The 1959 Humber Hawk.
01:16:39Such a long time ago, I would have sold it.
01:16:42Yes, I did.
01:16:43I sold it.
01:16:44Got a receipt for that too.
01:16:45It'd be ridiculous.
01:16:47Well, tell us something else ridiculous.
01:16:49At the Wigmore Hall, where did you go to get Gideon's brandy?
01:16:52At the bar, of course.
01:16:53Well, it must have been busy.
01:16:55The manager said you'd been gone for a very long time.
01:16:58There was chaos backstage that night.
01:17:00No one would have known who was there and who wasn't.
01:17:02I don't believe you.
01:17:03I think you had plenty of time to drive up to Belsize Park, kill Eugenie and then get back to the Wigmore Hall.
01:17:10I was completely mad.
01:17:12You knew she was going to be there at 9.30 because she told you.
01:17:14What?
01:17:15You absolutely...
01:17:16You've been seeing her?
01:17:17I'm sorry, Gideon.
01:17:19I'm sorry.
01:17:20How long had you been doing this?
01:17:21Always.
01:17:23She wanted to know everything about you.
01:17:25She still loved you.
01:17:28What did Eugenie want to be forgiven?
01:17:31Everything.
01:17:34Everything and anything.
01:17:37She wasn't the same after Sophie died.
01:17:40As Eugenie grew older, she got rather dotty.
01:17:44She had feelings, you see.
01:17:46You'd have read about those, Inspector.
01:17:50She persuaded you to give her Gideon's number, didn't she?
01:17:53Then she called him after all those years.
01:17:56Unsettled him.
01:17:58Distracted him.
01:17:58To the point that when he went on stage at Wigmore Hall, he couldn't play.
01:18:02She knew something.
01:18:04Didn't she?
01:18:05About the night that Sophie died.
01:18:07Something you didn't want her to tell Gideon.
01:18:10Because Gideon's your life's work.
01:18:12Isn't he, Raphael?
01:18:13And you would do anything to protect him.
01:18:16Even murder.
01:18:17That's not true.
01:18:18Raphael loves me.
01:18:19If I really kill my mother, he's looked after me all my life.
01:18:22Tell them it's not true.
01:18:23It's all right, Gideon.
01:18:25It's all right.
01:18:26It's all over.
01:18:34I killed Eugenie.
01:18:36I killed all of them.
01:18:39But Gideon had nothing to do with it.
01:18:42And they had to die to keep it that way.
01:18:45She was going to go to the police.
01:18:48She was going to tell Webley the truth.
01:18:50She was going to get Jimmy Pike to back her up.
01:18:53She was even going to tell Gideon.
01:18:55Tell me what?
01:18:56Tell you the one thing that even after all these years, she couldn't forgive.
01:19:01That Katya Wolf was innocent.
01:19:05That the wrong person went to prison for killing her child.
01:19:11I'm sorry.
01:19:15I killed your sister.
01:19:23When Richard asked me to sell it, I just hung on to it.
01:19:33And you killed Webley because he was about to find out that Katya Wolf was innocent.
01:19:37What about Richard?
01:19:38After the Wigmore Hall, Richard said the only way to get Gideon to play again was to tell him the truth.
01:19:48Tell me something.
01:19:49When you killed Sophie, how did you manage it without Richard and Eugenie knowing?
01:19:54The music.
01:19:56The music was so loud.
01:20:03Eugenie Martin knew you had murdered her child, yet she still met you for pub lunches.
01:20:10She believed I should be forgiven.
01:20:13But she couldn't forgive me.
01:20:16She couldn't bear it.
01:20:18It's the real reason she left home.
01:20:21It wasn't just Richard and Eugenie.
01:20:24We all covered it up.
01:20:27The Martins felt indebted to me.
01:20:31Once more, they wanted to protect Gideon from knowing what I'd done.
01:20:34They felt that if he knew, he wouldn't want to play anymore.
01:20:41I'd nurtured that fantastic ability, taught him everything.
01:20:45Until he could go, aged eight years old, to one of the greatest schools of music in the world.
01:20:52Tell me what you remember about the night that Raphael killed Sophie.
01:20:57I told you.
01:20:59Nothing.
01:20:59The man kills your sister, and you remember nothing.
01:21:06I told you.
01:21:07I can't remember anything about that night.
01:21:10It's blank.
01:21:12Blank?
01:21:13You suffer from blankness, don't you?
01:21:16And not half forgetfulness like the rest of us.
01:21:19You go completely blank.
01:21:23Like the other night at the Wigmore Hall.
01:21:26When Raphael killed your mother.
01:21:29And you blanked that piece of music.
01:21:36It all goes back to that piece of music, doesn't it?
01:21:40Does it?
01:21:41I think you know it does.
01:21:44The music.
01:21:46And what happened on the night that Sophie was killed.
01:21:49I don't know.
01:21:49I don't know.
01:21:50I don't know.
01:21:50I don't know.
01:21:51I don't know.
01:21:51I don't know.
01:21:52I don't know.
01:21:53I don't know.
01:21:54I don't know.
01:21:55I don't know.
01:21:56I don't know.
01:21:57There was so little time.
01:21:59Sophie was dead.
01:22:00The police were on their way.
01:22:04He told Katya that if she pleaded guilty to negligence, she'd only get three years and he'd give her 25,000 pounds when she came out.
01:22:13Because she and Richard were lovers, she believed him.
01:22:16But they found bruises on the child.
01:22:20Yes.
01:22:23She...
01:22:23struggled.
01:22:26But I held her under the water until she stopped.
01:22:30And then?
01:22:34She was dead.
01:22:37Well, there was nothing.
01:22:38Just silence.
01:22:41Silence.
01:22:45What are you doing?
01:22:52There had to be music.
01:22:55Didn't there?
01:22:56That night.
01:22:58Turn that off.
01:23:03Turn it off now.
01:23:08Songs my mother taught me.
01:23:11You lied to us, Gideon.
01:23:13You and Raphael.
01:23:16You haven't told us the real reason, have you?
01:23:18Stop it!
01:23:19Come on, tell me the truth.
01:23:21Tell me the real reason all those people had to die.
01:23:23Stop it! Stop it!
01:23:26Your mother kept saying there must be forgiveness.
01:23:28But there are two sides to forgiveness, aren't there?
01:23:31As we forgive those who trespass against us.
01:23:33She didn't mean she had to forgive Raphael.
01:23:36She might have spent all these years
01:23:37trying to forgive the trespass against her.
01:23:39Stop it!
01:23:40Stop it!
01:23:42Stop it!
01:23:44Stop it!
01:23:44Make it stop!
01:23:48Only you can make it stop, Gideon.
01:23:52The music.
01:23:54The smell of burning.
01:23:56Old Raphael killed Eugenie and Richard and Webley.
01:24:01But he didn't do it to protect himself, did he?
01:24:04He did it.
01:24:06As always.
01:24:07To protect you.
01:24:10He was protecting you from the memory
01:24:12that you killed your little sister.
01:24:19But I did.
01:24:21I killed her.
01:24:23No.
01:24:24What does it matter?
01:24:25No, Raphael.
01:24:28You didn't.
01:24:32Talent like that comes once in a century.
01:24:39It had to be protected.
01:24:45It didn't have to be the Dvorak.
01:24:48The music could have been anything.
01:24:50That just happened to be the record I pulled off the shelf.
01:24:52The songs my mother taught me.
01:24:59So I put it on.
01:25:01Loudly.
01:25:06Then I set fire to the waste paper bin in my bedroom.
01:25:11So that Katya would smell the smoke in the bathroom
01:25:13while she was bathing Sophie.
01:25:15And I got the paper alight.
01:25:26Then I went out and hid on the stairs.
01:25:33After a minute Katya smelt it burning.
01:25:39And she ran out of the bathroom past me.
01:25:41And you went in.
01:25:48And I locked the door.
01:25:54I had to go to the Juilliard School of Music.
01:25:58I was born to.
01:26:00But my parents couldn't afford it.
01:26:04They told me.
01:26:05Not with the cost of Sophie's care as well.
01:26:13When you look at it sensibly,
01:26:14there's nothing to forgive.
01:26:19Is there?
01:26:20No.
01:26:40What?
01:26:54Wait.
01:27:10Wait.
01:27:16What?
01:27:18What?
01:27:21What?
01:27:23What?
01:27:29What?
01:27:32What?
