Transcript

00:00:00Professor Finnegan, you testified at the original trial in your capacity as forensic psychologist, did you not?

00:00:06I did, yes.

00:00:06Perhaps you could summarize.

00:00:08I was firmly of the view that Lizzie Shakespeare murdered her husband in cold blood.

00:00:13He may have beaten her, as alleged, but I do not believe that her knife attack was, as she claims, a spur-of-the-moment act of self-defense.

00:00:20A state of mind?

00:00:21Entirely rational. She knew precisely what she was doing.

00:00:24And having monitored the appellant during her two years in prison, your view now?

00:00:27The same. I can see no medical grounds for a release or for a transfer to a psychiatric hospital.

00:00:33So you'll refute a defense of diminished responsibility?

00:00:36Absolutely. Lizzie Shakespeare is and was 100% competent, responsible for her actions.

00:00:44Thank you, Professor Finnegan.

00:00:48The question is, has any compelling new evidence been laid before this court? Answer, no.

00:00:54We're therefore minded to agree with Professor Finnegan.

00:00:59Lizzie Shakespeare is and was 100% competent.

00:01:03The conviction stands.

00:01:05Appeal denied.

00:01:06Finnegan!

00:01:07You are the scum of the earth!

00:01:09This is all down to you!

00:01:10Order in court!

00:01:11I swear to God!

00:01:12Order!

00:01:12You'll be sorry!

00:01:13As his daughter resumed her life sentence for murder, Noel Shakespeare vowed yesterday to continue his fight to clear her name.

00:01:31In a statement, Mr Shakespeare, who has mortgaged the family home to pay legal fees, said he was...

00:01:37Close your eyes.

00:01:39Okay.

00:01:47Which hand?

00:01:49That one.

00:01:55That's beautiful.

00:02:00What's the occasion?

00:02:02Does there have to be an occasion?

00:02:07Have a good day.

00:02:09Have a good day.

00:02:39You're not eating.

00:02:56Dad, I'm fine.

00:02:58The police have still got Finnegan's body, at what's left of it.

00:03:06The memorial's today, which means drinks on me tonight.

00:03:10The man's dead and you're gloating.

00:03:13This is a break for us, Lizzie.

00:03:15With Finnegan gone, we stand a good chance of a second appeal.

00:03:18The man had a wife.

00:03:23I haven't been able to hold a proper funeral.

00:03:26But I can at least plant this rose in Dermot's memory.

00:03:31Thank you all for coming.

00:03:34It means a great deal.

00:03:45What's the time, Miss?

00:04:03Oh, yeah.

00:04:05Well, you've killed a bloke, right?

00:04:08Places crawl in the coppers.

00:04:09Are you seriously going to show?

00:04:12You'd have to be a pepperoni short of the full pizza.

00:04:14Any more tea?

00:04:21What's your governor's missus doing here, anyway?

00:04:23She knew Finnegan.

00:04:25He was her mentor when she was starting out.

00:04:28Oh, no.

00:04:30Sleep with her, did he?

00:04:31What?

00:04:32Well, I work with him.

00:04:34Ladies' man.

00:04:35Known for it.

00:04:37Mind you, I wouldn't say no.

00:04:40Preggers or not.

00:04:42And they say Romans is dead.

00:04:44My condolences again, Mrs. Finnegan.

00:04:48We are doing everything we can.

00:04:51Have you met my wife, Helen?

00:04:53I shadowed your husband on a case years ago.

00:04:56You taught me a lot.

00:04:57I'm so sorry.

00:04:59Oh.

00:05:00Which case?

00:05:02Uh, murder.

00:05:03Peter Stephanopoulos?

00:05:03Oh, yes.

00:05:04Yes, he killed his business partner.

00:05:06Crikey, that was years ago.

00:05:08Nice touch, Grace.

00:05:10The rose.

00:05:11Mind you.

00:05:12Cactus would have done the old ghost just as well.

00:05:16Hello, Maureen.

00:05:17Inspector Lindley, his wife Helen Maureen Finnegan.

00:05:20You're the professor's sister?

00:05:24First wife.

00:05:25I kept the name.

00:05:27The one thing the old goat couldn't take away.

00:05:30All back to yours, is it?

00:05:33Finnegan's wife?

00:05:34Yes.

00:05:35I hope you'll join us.

00:05:36Once more with feeling, Gracie.

00:05:39But I will.

00:05:39Alder say.

00:05:42We used to have men or women.

00:05:43Uh, can't tell.

00:05:45Well, get a number.

00:05:45I can only make out the first arm.

00:06:04It was good of you to come all the way from Dublin.

00:06:07Damp would have appreciated it.

00:06:09Really?

00:06:12Tell you what, Gracie.

00:06:13You weren't going to be on your own, not for a week or so.

00:06:16Why won't I stay?

00:06:17Look after you.

00:06:18She's well taken care of.

00:06:20Don't worry.

00:06:22Excuse us.

00:06:29I was telling Inspector Lindley how well you were bearing up.

00:06:33I can't take your happy bills forever, though, can I?

00:06:35No, but they'll help you to the worst, won't they?

00:06:38I take it you're Mrs. Finnegan's GP?

00:06:41No, a friend of the family.

00:06:43I'm an obstetrician over at Gloucester General.

00:06:45Tessa is my tower of strength.

00:06:48Have you chosen a name yet?

00:06:49No.

00:06:50We're still negotiating that one.

00:06:53When you feel up to it, I need to ask you some questions about your husband.

00:06:57Well, now's as good a time as any.

00:07:01Some fresh air.

00:07:02Beautiful gardens.

00:07:1125 years probing the criminal mind.

00:07:14Dermot said he'd had enough of people.

00:07:16Preferred plants.

00:07:17Oh, this was his hideout.

00:07:19Used to come here to work.

00:07:22Think.

00:07:23Did he discuss his cases?

00:07:25Hardly ever.

00:07:26Too grim, he said.

00:07:27So no particular names spring to mind?

00:07:30Grudges?

00:07:30Afraid not, no.

00:07:32The bomb was planted on the night of the Lizzie Shakespeare appeal.

00:07:35Uh, your husband arrived home at ten, yes?

00:07:40And the bomb itself?

00:07:42Uh, crude.

00:07:43Um, but straightforward.

00:07:45We're waiting on the lab reports.

00:07:47A professional job?

00:07:49Not necessarily, no.

00:07:50We're considering all possibilities.

00:07:52Including me?

00:07:52Well, I'm afraid I am duty-bound to ask where you were.

00:07:58Honestly, no, no.

00:08:00He's just doing his job.

00:08:02I was here with my husband.

00:08:07There is one thing I should mention.

00:08:10Dermot told me he'd be getting anonymous calls.

00:08:12A man saying, do the right thing, then hanging up.

00:08:15When?

00:08:16Mm, about three, four weeks ago.

00:08:18Why didn't he tell me?

00:08:20Didn't want to worry you, I suppose.

00:08:22And that's your excuse, too.

00:08:25Here.

00:08:26Well, we'll look into the fine company records.

00:08:29If anything else comes to mind.

00:08:32All sorted.

00:08:33Found a nice spare room.

00:08:36Don't thank me.

00:08:37Just happy to help.

00:08:40I really don't think I'm up to company at the moment.

00:08:43Excuse us.

00:08:48I'm staying.

00:08:50Clear.

00:08:50And spare me the crocodile tears.

00:08:53I don't know what you're talking about.

00:08:55Don't call the innocent Grace.

00:08:57Not with me.

00:08:58Well, if I had the full registration, I'd give it you, wouldn't I?

00:09:11Just speed it up, okay?

00:09:12You can be quite scary sometimes.

00:09:14Thanks.

00:09:14I'll try.

00:09:15Okay, what have we got?

00:09:16Well, we've got half a registration and this.

00:09:20Hang on, I didn't speak to anyone.

00:09:23Was she at the party?

00:09:24It's awake, Turner.

00:09:26No, she wasn't.

00:09:29Let's go.

00:09:30According to a family friend, Dr. Tessa Jellicoe has been a spate of anonymous calls recently,

00:09:44telling Finnegan to do the right thing.

00:09:46Well, it's not something to do with the Lizzie Shakespeare appeal.

00:09:50Maybe.

00:09:51So we're going to go off to see your father now.

00:09:52He's got a pub near Broadway.

00:09:55I see.

00:09:57No problem.

00:09:57Well, it's just, it's a bit irregular.

00:10:01I know, but A, I knew Dermot, and B, maternity leave is driving me insane.

00:10:06Got to keep the brain from turning to mush.

00:10:10You and Turner get to work on the mystery woman.

00:10:13And I want you to check out Finnegan's pelt house.

00:10:16Right, sir.

00:10:17Thanks very much.

00:10:21Sorry, no, not a clue.

00:10:23Nor me.

00:10:24But I'm surprised there weren't more of them there.

00:10:26Crawling out of the woodwork.

00:10:29More of who?

00:10:30His bits of fluff.

00:10:31Floosies.

00:10:32Maureen.

00:10:34Okay.

00:10:36Just to be clear, and I'm sorry if this is awkward,

00:10:40but Professor Finnegan was married to you when he started seeing you, yeah?

00:10:46Seeing?

00:10:47Is that what they call it?

00:10:49The answer is yes.

00:10:50Is there anything else?

00:10:52It's been a long day.

00:10:52Inspector Lindley said something about an outhouse.

00:11:02Nicholas.

00:11:04Joseph.

00:11:05Alexander.

00:11:07Jennifer.

00:11:08He'll have her at school.

00:11:10Silly man.

00:11:11So tell me, what was Dermot Finnegan really like?

00:11:15Charming.

00:11:17Inspiring.

00:11:18Very clever.

00:11:19Sounds like someone had a crush.

00:11:21Hardly.

00:11:22Anyway, that was years ago.

00:11:25George.

00:11:26Trying to change the subject.

00:11:27Honestly.

00:11:32Is that a gun cabinet?

00:11:33Yes, yes.

00:11:36Dermot used to like to give the rabbits a run for their money.

00:11:42All above board.

00:11:45Rabbits are here.

00:11:46Thanks.

00:11:49I'll, uh, I'll leave you to it.

00:11:52Okay.

00:11:52I'll, uh, I'll leave you to it.

00:12:22I'll leave you to it.

00:12:52Let's go.

00:13:22All right?

00:13:33Yeah.

00:13:34Anything?

00:13:35Nah, but I'll be out front, yeah?

00:13:37Okay.

00:13:52Ladies and gentlemen, Fred, my Lizzie should be here, but she's not.

00:14:13So the fight's still on.

00:14:16I'm lobbying for a second appeal, which means more lawyers, which means more money.

00:14:24Gentlemen?

00:14:29Max?

00:14:30Sir?

00:14:31My advice, face facts.

00:14:36Right or wrong, Lizzie's going to serve her full sentence.

00:14:38Over my dead body.

00:14:40No, you need to get on with life.

00:14:43And you need to let people have a pint without a lecture on British justice.

00:14:47Losing faith, Max?

00:14:48Yeah.

00:14:49Losing readers.

00:14:50Lizzie's had more front pages than any other story.

00:14:53It's not a story.

00:14:54She's my daughter.

00:14:55Mr Shakespeare?

00:14:56Be I, Lina.

00:14:58You've got a nerve.

00:15:00I beg your pardon?

00:15:01Where were your lot when Lizzie needed you?

00:15:04Seven times she reported that, brute.

00:15:06Seven times in nine years.

00:15:08Well, as I understand it, there were never any witnesses.

00:15:12No third-party cooperation, so the police couldn't prosecute.

00:15:15And your daughter repeatedly refused to press charges.

00:15:18Of course she did.

00:15:19She was petrified.

00:15:20I'm here investigating the murder of Professor Finnegan.

00:15:23Now, if there's somewhere more private, we can talk.

00:15:36Where did you go after the appeal?

00:15:39Came back here.

00:15:40Am I a suspect?

00:15:41Were you open for business as usual?

00:15:43The show must go on.

00:15:45Am I a suspect?

00:15:45I'm merely trying to establish the facts, Mr Shakespeare.

00:15:49Where were you between 10pm that night and 8am the following morning?

00:15:53Here.

00:15:54Closed at 11.30.

00:15:55Went to bed.

00:15:57No witnesses after closing time.

00:15:59The wife's long gone.

00:16:01Gone where?

00:16:02Australia.

00:16:03Apparently I'm obsessed.

00:16:04Impossible to live with.

00:16:07You use the internet?

00:16:09I've got a website.

00:16:10freelizzy.com.

00:16:11Mind if I ask what other sites you use?

00:16:17If I say no?

00:16:19We get a warrant.

00:16:27Tell me, did you ever contact Dermot Finnegan directly?

00:16:30Professor Psycho bloody babble.

00:16:32No, I did not.

00:16:33Lizzie's got life thanks to him.

00:16:35Bloody shrinks.

00:16:37Bad as you lot.

00:16:38Actually, I'm a shrink.

00:16:40Please profile her.

00:16:41Yeah?

00:16:42Couldn't get a proper job.

00:16:43Helen happens to be one of the best in the business.

00:16:45She is also my wife.

00:16:47Can I ask why he uses ex-cons' website?

00:16:50What?

00:16:50But you've never been inside, have you?

00:16:53Trying to find other poor sods who've been stitched up by Finnegan's expertise.

00:16:58One miscarriage of justice down to that charlatan and his reputation shot.

00:17:02Which would help Lizzie's appeal.

00:17:04Too right.

00:17:04So, what have you found?

00:17:06Nothing yet.

00:17:08Hope springs eternal.

00:17:10I'd like to take your computer, please.

00:17:12Why?

00:17:13Have our experts analyse the hard disk.

00:17:16Any objections?

00:17:20So, Ms Psychobabble, the verdict?

00:17:23On Shakespeare?

00:17:25Totally obsessed, and who can blame him?

00:17:28His daughter's beaten for years, then ends up behind bars for trying to protect herself.

00:17:32That'd be pretty deranged, wouldn't you?

00:17:34She did kill her husband.

00:17:35In self-defence.

00:17:37Does that make it all right?

00:17:38No.

00:17:40It makes it complicated.

00:17:42Question is, did Shakespeare use the ex-cons' website like he said he did?

00:17:46Or was he trying to find a hitman to kill Finnegan?

00:17:49Go on.

00:17:49Welcome.

00:17:50grateful.

00:18:01Over here.

00:18:01Listen to the ex-consimal magic.

00:18:02Bye.

00:18:03Bye.

00:18:04Bye.

00:18:14Bye.

00:18:15Bye.

00:18:16Bye.

00:18:17I don't know.

00:18:47Uh, just to let you know, no luck yet on our mystery mourner.

00:18:53Right, well, keep at it. Anything else?

00:18:57Barbara?

00:18:59Uh, no, sir.

00:19:01Hi.

00:19:03Hi.

00:19:05Will you come here for supper?

00:19:07I expect she has plans.

00:19:09Yeah, thanks, all the same.

00:19:11Hot to eat?

00:19:13Hot bath.

00:19:14Right, that's it. Come on.

00:19:17That's not mince words, Grace.

00:19:23His motto was anything with a pulse.

00:19:25I'm not saying he was perfect, but he was kind and generous.

00:19:30The presents? Guilty conscience.

00:19:32Lord knows he had enough to feel guilty about.

00:19:34Too wish you wouldn't go on.

00:19:38I brought my photos.

00:19:41The good old days.

00:19:43I'm not interested in the past.

00:19:45Uh, suit yourself.

00:19:53Silver.

00:19:55Very nice.

00:19:57Do you know who you remind me of?

00:19:59Me.

00:20:00Twenty years ago.

00:20:03Little Miss Meek and Mild.

00:20:05Assertiveness training.

00:20:07That's what you need.

00:20:08Change my life.

00:20:09I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but how long are you thinking of staying?

00:20:13Till the will is read.

00:20:15The will?

00:20:17Surely you don't expect...

00:20:18Like I said.

00:20:20Catholic guilt.

00:20:22Running through him like a stick of rock.

00:20:25He'll see me right.

00:20:30Excuse me.

00:20:31I thought a casserole wouldn't go amiss.

00:20:43Don't suppose you feel like cooking?

00:20:45How thoughtful.

00:20:46Bit late though.

00:20:47Thought we'd invite you.

00:20:49It's only half past nine.

00:20:50Stay.

00:20:51Stay for a glass of wine.

00:20:52You've just lost your husband.

00:20:53I know, but...

00:20:54You need your rest.

00:20:55Right, Doctor?

00:20:57I thought you might like company.

00:20:59She's got company.

00:21:05Um, well, um, another time then.

00:21:10Goodnight.

00:21:12Right.

00:21:22Morning, sir.

00:21:23Morning.

00:21:24Uh, thanks for last night.

00:21:26Pleasure.

00:21:27So what have we got?

00:21:29Uh, we've got some old love letters.

00:21:30I found them in Finnegan's outhouse.

00:21:32Told you.

00:21:33Ladies man.

00:21:34Anything juicy?

00:21:36This might be something, sir.

00:21:38It's like I found them about a hundred yards from Finnegan's house.

00:21:42Parts of the bomb?

00:21:43Yeah, maybe.

00:21:44They think it might be fragments of the casing.

00:21:46I've been trying to work out if it's one word,

00:21:47I don't know.

00:21:48I don't know.

00:21:49Anything else?

00:21:50Yep.

00:21:51News on the Chevy at Finnegan's memorial service.

00:21:52Possible registrations.

00:21:53Twenty-seven names.

00:21:54Yeah, we've eliminated twelve.

00:21:56Lucky thirteen, I'd say.

00:21:57Sir?

00:21:58Peter Stephanopoulos.

00:21:59Helen mentioned him the other day as being one of Finnegan's past cases.

00:22:01I'll give him a call.

00:22:03I ain't get it.

00:22:05Get what?

00:22:06I don't get it.

00:22:07I don't get it.

00:22:08I don't get it.

00:22:09I don't get it.

00:22:10I don't get it.

00:22:11I don't get it.

00:22:12I don't get it.

00:22:13I don't get it.

00:22:14I don't get it.

00:22:15I don't get it.

00:22:17I don't get it.

00:22:18I don't get it.

00:22:19You and him.

00:22:20Romeo and Juliet.

00:22:22Well, like Punch and Judy, actually.

00:22:24Oh, yeah.

00:22:25Yes.

00:22:26And relax down.

00:22:28Other side.

00:22:29Left.

00:22:30Take it up.

00:22:31Exhale.

00:22:32And relax.

00:22:33And relax down.

00:22:34Other side.

00:22:35Left.

00:22:36Take it up.

00:22:37Exhale.

00:22:38And relax.

00:22:39Again.

00:22:40Tommy.

00:22:41Terrible timing.

00:22:42Sorry.

00:22:43Can you tell me about that case you did with Finnegan, Peter Stephanopoulos?

00:22:45Estate agent.

00:22:46Murdered his business partner about 15 years ago.

00:22:47So he should be out by now.

00:22:48I think so.

00:22:49And you profiled him as the murderer, yes?

00:22:50Hardly.

00:22:51I just shadowed Finnegan.

00:22:52He did all the work.

00:22:53Why?

00:22:54It seems you're Mr. Stephanopoulos turned up at the memorial.

00:22:55He's a mechanic now.

00:22:56He's got a garage in Lower Upton.

00:22:57That's not far from Finnegan's house.

00:22:58Give me a couple of hours and I'll come with you.

00:22:59Are you trying to do havers out of a job?

00:23:00Ready when you are, sir?

00:23:01Tommy.

00:23:02I'm pregnant, not brain dead.

00:23:03I'd like to come.

00:23:04You're on leave, remember?

00:23:05Finish your class and...

00:23:28go and have lunch with the girls.

00:23:30Go shopping.

00:23:31Could you be a little more patronising?

00:23:34I'll call you later.

00:23:37Take the right ear down to the shoulder.

00:23:40Everything okay?

00:23:44Fine.

00:23:45Should go.

00:23:58Nice.

00:23:59Might be able to fit you in tomorrow.

00:24:04What's wrong with it?

00:24:05Nothing.

00:24:06D.I.

00:24:07Lindley and D.S.

00:24:08Havers.

00:24:09It's Peter Stephanopoulos here.

00:24:10You'll be lucky.

00:24:11Gone fishing down by the bridge.

00:24:13Does he drive a Chevy Blazer LK46 VLO?

00:24:16Yeah.

00:24:17He attended a memorial service yesterday and we'd like to know why.

00:24:20Memorial, was it?

00:24:21It keeps me in the dark like a flaming mushroom.

00:24:24I'm Janice.

00:24:25And his wife?

00:24:26Girlfriend.

00:24:27An admin supremo.

00:24:28And before you ask, yes, I know all about his past.

00:24:32But he was married back to Gina.

00:24:34Yeah.

00:24:35She did a runner before my time.

00:24:37Any idea why he'd attend the memorial of the man who helped put him away for murder?

00:24:41Not a clue.

00:24:42Excuse me.

00:24:43Oh, hello.

00:24:44Hi.

00:24:45Shouldn't you be at home putting your feet up?

00:24:46Don't you start.

00:24:47Tommy not around?

00:24:48No.

00:24:49You see, he's gone out.

00:24:50Can I help?

00:24:51Are these Finnegan's case vows?

00:24:52Yes, but I'm not sure you're supposed to...

00:24:53I'd kill for a coffee.

00:24:54No.

00:24:55No.

00:24:56No.

00:24:57No.

00:24:58No.

00:24:59No.

00:25:00No.

00:25:01No.

00:25:02No.

00:25:03No.

00:25:04No.

00:25:05No.

00:25:06No.

00:25:07No.

00:25:08No.

00:25:09No.

00:25:10No.

00:25:11No.

00:25:12No.

00:25:13No.

00:25:14No, no.

00:25:15Right.

00:25:36No.

00:25:37No.

00:25:38No.

00:25:39If my husband calls, tell him to stay right where he is.

00:25:42OK.

00:25:44Bye.

00:26:09Well, this is where Jenny said it'd be.

00:26:34I assume he's actually gone fishing.

00:26:35PHONE RINGS

00:26:37Hello?

00:26:39Is that the King of Condescension?

00:26:41Not going about that, are you?

00:26:46Where are you?

00:26:48Lower Upton. You?

00:26:50About ten minutes away.

00:26:52What?

00:26:58I checked Finnegan's case file on Peter Stephanopoulos.

00:27:02Found a love letter.

00:27:03Guess who from?

00:27:04You want a Finnegan parent?

00:27:06Gina Stephanopoulos.

00:27:08No.

00:27:10Written to Finnegan while her husband was in prison.

00:27:12She had an affair with Finnegan after he put her husband away for ten years.

00:27:15Looks like it.

00:27:18Helen?

00:27:25Helen?

00:27:27Helen?

00:27:28Helen?

00:27:47She's still unconscious.

00:27:49saying. Are you coming or not? Go. Go sound now. Right, everyone, listen up. We've got no witnesses

00:27:57that's down to us. And if there is a scrap of evidence, an atom within 10 miles, then we're

00:28:02going to find it. Starting with the bullet. It wasn't a bullet. It was an air gun pellet.

00:28:19Thirty-seven-year-old woman after six months of pregnancy, blood pressure, eight, ten, fifty,

00:28:26pulse hundred and ten. Tommy? I'm here, darling. I'm here.

00:28:29Stay with us now.

00:28:33We're getting one paid for the federal policy yet.

00:28:37Stay with us.

00:28:40Stay with us.

00:28:43Stay with us.

00:28:46Where the L.U. been?

00:29:01A waste of time. I didn't catch a thing.

00:29:03Not even a clap.

00:29:04Don't be silly. Give us a kiss.

00:29:05You had visitors.

00:29:07Police.

00:29:16Your wife's recovering from the operation. She lost consciousness again, but we're hopeful

00:29:23she'll recover fully.

00:29:28What about...

00:29:29The damage to the placenta was too great. I'm afraid we couldn't save the baby.

00:29:37I can't tell you how sorry I am.

00:29:58I feel like I'm being punished.

00:30:01For what?

00:30:04Be careful what you wish for. That's what they say, isn't it?

00:30:08You didn't want her to lose the baby.

00:30:13No, of course not. I didn't.

00:30:16Do you remember when I found out she was pregnant, though?

00:30:23I, er...

00:30:27Well, I...

00:30:30You what?

00:30:33You weren't sure you were up to it?

00:30:36Worried about how your life might change?

00:30:39I mean, I'm no expert, but...

00:30:42Everyone has those doubts.

00:30:46But this...

00:30:48This is not your fault.

00:30:50I should have been there.

00:30:52And what could you have done if you were?

00:30:54I don't know. Something.

00:31:00You just need to take some time off, and then maybe...

00:31:03Oh, take leave.

00:31:05Are you out of your mind?

00:31:07I'm sorry.

00:31:08Whoever did this is going to realise they're messing with the wrong...

00:31:11Wrong family.

00:31:16What we need to do is establish a clear link between Helen and Finnegan.

00:31:21Apart from the obvious, the Stephanopoulos thing.

00:31:28Well, um...

00:31:30There is another angle.

00:31:32Well, I tried to mention it before, but...

00:31:39I found this with the love letters.

00:31:47It looks like Helen was seeing them about 16 years ago.

00:31:52I can read, Avis.

00:31:54She didn't tell you.

00:31:57She didn't tell you.

00:32:01No.

00:32:11Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?

00:32:14Well, I didn't know how.

00:32:15There's no help.

00:32:19I'm so sorry.

00:32:25Where are you going?

00:32:27If Helen was involved with Finnegan 16 years ago, then he was still married to Maureen.

00:32:31Why, and you think she might bear a grudge?

00:32:33After all these years?

00:32:35I don't know, but it's a start.

00:32:37Sir...

00:32:39This is all a bit too close to home.

00:32:41I mean, shouldn't you...

00:32:42Are you seriously telling me what I should and shouldn't do?

00:32:44You, of all people.

00:32:46No, I just think...

00:32:48You should have told me about this.

00:32:52Now, you stay here.

00:32:54And you do not leave my wife unattended for one single second.

00:32:57Understood?

00:32:59Won't she want you here with me?

00:33:00Is that understood?

00:33:02Sir.

00:33:06Oh, man.

00:33:08Hmm?

00:33:10There's the end of the night.

00:33:12No, he's bound for another guy.

00:33:14It's okay.

00:33:16I don't think so.

00:33:21It's okay.

00:33:23I'm tired.

00:33:25I'm tired of it.

00:33:27No.

00:33:29I don't know.

00:33:31PUNCHING

00:33:33Yeah, ready?

00:33:34I'm terribly sorry. I hope your wife's going to be okay.

00:33:46Why are you here?

00:33:48It seems that my wife was involved with Professor Finnegan.

00:33:53Ages ago, yes.

00:33:55So you did know?

00:33:56Of course. Recognised her at the memorial.

00:33:59The man kept all their photos, like trophies.

00:34:02I see.

00:34:05May I ask where you were at midday today?

00:34:08Do you think I have?

00:34:09Now, wait a minute.

00:34:11No disrespect to your wife, but Dermot's philosophy was so many women, so little time.

00:34:16Revenge for every single fling.

00:34:19I'd be at it till doomsday.

00:34:21All the same, where were you?

00:34:23In a late breakfast. Eggs, bacon, tomatoes from the garden, wasn't it?

00:34:29Anything else?

00:34:30You seem very at home here.

00:34:32Grace is very hospitable.

00:34:45Where were you at twelve o'clock?

00:34:47In the Rose Garden reading. Why?

00:34:49Well, it just occurred to me.

00:34:50The inspector's wife wasn't Dermot's only, but on the side all those years ago.

00:34:55Why is she crazy?

00:34:57I don't know what you mean.

00:34:58Well, none of us exactly had the exclusive on the old gov, did we?

00:35:02And the green-eyed monster does things to even the nicest people.

00:35:06How is she?

00:35:18Progressing. She's breathing on her own.

00:35:19Oh, that's great.

00:35:20Well, early days.

00:35:22Yeah.

00:35:22Is there any chance for a cup of tea? I'm not supposed to move.

00:35:26Are you worried? He might try again. Here.

00:35:29Well, we're not taking any chances.

00:35:31Do you think this is linked to what happened to Dermot Finnegan?

00:35:34Um, maybe.

00:35:36They didn't know each other years ago. They worked in a case together.

00:35:41D'Arlene is checking it out now.

00:35:42Nurse, tea for D.S. Habers, please.

00:35:44No problem.

00:35:46Machine, I'm afraid.

00:35:48Tastes like sump oil.

00:35:50Cheers.

00:35:57Here to Stephanopoulos?

00:35:59Who wants to know?

00:36:03Twelve o'clock.

00:36:04I was fishing.

00:36:06At your usual spot.

00:36:08I moved.

00:36:10Down river.

00:36:11Any reason?

00:36:12Ten years inside. I like to go where the fancy takes me.

00:36:15Catch anything?

00:36:16Just tiddlers.

00:36:18Anyone see you?

00:36:19No.

00:36:20That's the beauty of fishing.

00:36:22You can go for hours.

00:36:23Not a soul in sight.

00:36:25Anyway, why would I take a pop at your wife?

00:36:27You tell me.

00:36:28And while you're about it,

00:36:30tell me why you went to Finnegan's memorial.

00:36:32Why shouldn't I go?

00:36:33Well, for starters, the man was partly responsible

00:36:35for your serving ten years for murder.

00:36:38Paying your last respects, were you?

00:36:39I once heard about this Hollywood producer.

00:36:43Real tyrant.

00:36:45Everyone hated his guts.

00:36:47But when they buried him, there was a queue around the block.

00:36:51Not for affection or respect.

00:36:53They all just wanted to make sure the old sodden were really dead.

00:36:58So I take it you do bear a little grudge towards him?

00:37:01Well, he wasn't on my Christmas list.

00:37:04But not because he did his job.

00:37:06I took a life.

00:37:08Finnegan helped put me away.

00:37:09Fair dues.

00:37:10Having an affair with your wife while you're inside.

00:37:15Now, that's not quite such fair dues, is it?

00:37:17Let you know about that.

00:37:18I know she left you.

00:37:21For him.

00:37:22Look.

00:37:24Am I glad Finnegan's pushing out daisies?

00:37:27You bet.

00:37:29Did I do it?

00:37:31Nah.

00:37:31Oh, good timing.

00:37:39Where's the loo?

00:37:40It's right and fourth on the right.

00:37:42All right.

00:37:42Please, don't move.

00:37:43I won't be two minutes, yeah?

00:37:44Okay.

00:38:01Notice to C-section, cubicle four.

00:38:06Yeah, but I'm supposed to be here.

00:38:07Now.

00:38:21Marius?

00:38:21Where the hell were you?

00:38:32Well, I was two minutes.

00:38:33I told the nurse...

00:38:35Outside, now.

00:38:38What is the matter with you?

00:38:40Anyone could have got in.

00:38:41What happened to you?

00:38:42Emergency, sorry.

00:38:43Unbelievable.

00:38:45Totally irresponsible.

00:38:46Total dereliction of duty.

00:38:49I must be mad to fight your corner.

00:38:51Should have got shot at you when I had the chance.

00:38:56Get Turner down here.

00:38:57You obviously can't do it by yourself.

00:39:00Sir?

00:39:01Yes.

00:39:01What?

00:39:04Nothing.

00:39:15I know.

00:39:19How's she doing?

00:39:19What does it look like?

00:39:23Blimey.

00:39:23Who retled your cage?

00:39:25You're right at Finnegan's case files.

00:39:28Thanks.

00:39:29Ah.

00:39:30Still playing were-gones?

00:39:32Uh-huh.

00:39:36Okay.

00:39:38Half each.

00:39:39All right.

00:39:39What am I looking for?

00:39:41Another link.

00:39:42She's in here.

00:39:43Finnegan's dead.

00:39:44They work together in one case, Stephanopoulos.

00:39:46Maybe there's more.

00:39:50How did you get on with that woman at the memorial?

00:39:52Uh, I traced everyone else there.

00:39:54No one has a clue.

00:39:57I could have been anyone.

00:39:59Everybody hates journalists.

00:40:00It wasn't anyone.

00:40:01It was you.

00:40:02My guess, one of your readers.

00:40:04Someone who thinks you're a gutless hypocrite.

00:40:06More interested in flogging papers than you are in a miscarriage of justice.

00:40:09Oh, here you go, Max.

00:40:11The police like a nice graffiti case.

00:40:13Bit simpler than protecting women from brutal thugs.

00:40:16I need to ask where you were at twelve o'clock today.

00:40:18What have I done now?

00:40:19My wife was attacked.

00:40:20Why would I attack your wife?

00:40:23I didn't say you did.

00:40:23I just asked you where you were.

00:40:26In the back.

00:40:28Writing to my MP.

00:40:29By hand.

00:40:31You'll get your computer back when we've finished analysing the hard disk.

00:40:34Is your wife all right?

00:40:35No.

00:40:36She's in hospital.

00:40:37Oh, be careful.

00:40:38You'll have a sneak picture on the front page before you can say paparazzi.

00:40:41We've just lost our baby, and someone is responsible for that.

00:40:46Well, not me.

00:40:48And I'm sorry.

00:40:50But maybe now you know how I feel.

00:40:52Someone you love, something terrible happens, there's nothing you can do about it.

00:40:56It's enough to drive any man half mad.

00:41:06Well, if there is another link between her and Finnegan, it's not here.

00:41:10No here.

00:41:14They had to go for a drink.

00:41:15Come in.

00:41:16What planet are you on?

00:41:19Sorry.

00:41:21She's stable, but still no sign of regaining consciousness.

00:41:28So, I just want to say I'm sorry about...

00:41:31Well, you know, I'm sure she'll be okay.

00:41:38Medical expert, are you?

00:41:41No, I just meant...

00:41:43Shut up.

00:41:44Yeah, I know.

00:41:46Thanks.

00:41:48You can go.

00:41:48But I thought you...

00:41:51Yes.

00:41:54Right, sir.

00:41:58Right, right, sir.

00:41:59Good night.

00:42:01Good night.

00:42:12Any news?

00:42:13Well, no leads in the professor's files.

00:42:16The Irish police are checking on Maureen Finnegan.

00:42:19Oh, I'm glad to hear it.

00:42:21Why?

00:42:23I don't like her.

00:42:25Do you think the attack on your wife ties in with what happened to Professor Finnegan?

00:42:28Well, hard to say.

00:42:32We got an address for Stephanopoulos' wife, Cheltenham.

00:42:36We sent a PC round.

00:42:37The neighbours haven't seen her for days.

00:42:40Try again tomorrow.

00:42:42I'm going to be interviewing Lizzie Shakespeare first thing.

00:42:44Why?

00:42:45Well, if her father did have anything to do with Finnegan's death, she might have known what he was planning.

00:42:48I'll get someone to bring you a blanket.

00:42:58Yeah, I could stay tonight if you like.

00:43:01No.

00:43:03You go.

00:43:05Okay.

00:43:07But I'm leaving here at nine, so I'll need you back by then.

00:43:10And, um, can you do me a favour?

00:43:13I know I need some fresh clothes and things.

00:43:15Um, so will Helen.

00:43:18Would you mind?

00:43:21Yeah.

00:43:23So maybe you could get somebody else to stand guard tomorrow?

00:43:27Yes, they could.

00:43:31But, um, no one I trust as much as you.

00:43:36What, even after today?

00:43:39Especially after today.

00:43:45And, um, I'm sorry.

00:43:48All right.

00:43:54Good night, sir.

00:43:55Good night, sir.

00:44:03So, what are you doing?

00:44:33What are you saying? That my father made a car bomb and blew Finnegan to bits.

00:44:39The man runs a pub, for God's sake. He belongs to the Bowles Club, not Al-Qaeda.

00:44:46Anyone could learn how to make explosives these days, if they're determined enough.

00:44:50Look, my mum ran off, left my dad high and dry.

00:44:55I'm in here, and I wake up every morning knowing I took my husband's life.

00:45:02My family's in shreds. And now you want to hound my dad for something he didn't do.

00:45:09When do people stop?

00:45:12When we get the truth.

00:45:14Whose truth?

00:45:16Tell me one thing. You could have left your husband. Packed your bags, walked away. Why didn't you?

00:45:28It's fine. For ages. Months. Then he gets that look. And you know it's coming. And you know it's your fault.

00:45:43You've burnt the bacon. You've flirted with that bloke at the party. You're to this. You're to that.

00:45:54And part of you believes him. You believe it's your fault. Especially later. When he swears he'll never hit you again.

00:46:06And please don't leave because he needs you. And you love each other. And this time it'll be different.

00:46:16Only it's never different. And you're too ashamed to admit you haven't got the guts to leave.

00:46:27That's why I stayed. Shame. And fear.

00:46:38Thank you for your time.

00:46:42You've got plenty of that.

00:46:50Linley?

00:46:51It's Turner, sir. How's your wife?

00:46:53No change. What have you got?

00:46:55A body. In the river over Lower Rump.

00:47:08Roger, I'll have them with you now.

00:47:11See this ligature mark around her neck? Carotid, I'd say. Then dumped. Body's been in water at 24-hour tops.

00:47:20Whoever did it tied those stones around her neck trying to weigh her down.

00:47:23Didn't do very good job of it.

00:47:29We're in the same clothes she was here.

00:47:33Except the necklace is missing.

00:47:35So you know who she is?

00:47:37No.

00:47:39No.

00:47:40All we know is that she was in a church out the other day.

00:47:42Well.

00:47:43She'll be in another one soon.

00:47:58Excuse me.

00:48:02Thanks very much.

00:48:05Oh, he's lovely.

00:48:06Yeah.

00:48:09Only he's a she.

00:48:12Sorry.

00:48:14That's alright.

00:48:16We're thinking of Abigail.

00:48:20Abigail. That's nice.

00:48:23Thanks.

00:48:35I'm sure that this is the body in the river.

00:48:51Sir?

00:48:54Sorry?

00:48:55Yes.

00:48:56I've asked Turner to check with dental records.

00:49:03Whose?

00:49:05Gina Stephanopoulos and Noel Shakespeare's ex-wife.

00:49:08Well, I thought she moved to Australia.

00:49:10That's what he said.

00:49:12I've also asked him to check with immigration down under.

00:49:15Dinner is served.

00:49:16Thanks.

00:49:17I'm really not very hungry.

00:49:18Don't blame you.

00:49:19The domestic goddess hasn't quite made it to Gloucester General.

00:49:23I'll have yours, sir.

00:49:24Where did you go on, Lizzie Shakespeare?

00:49:25Nothing new.

00:49:27Very impressive, though.

00:49:29And I read Villigan's evidence from the trial.

00:49:31There's no doubt about it.

00:49:32He turned the jury against her.

00:49:34Unfairly?

00:49:36Maybe.

00:49:38I mean, that husband of hers was a real brute.

00:49:40I'd not say he deserved to die, but...

00:49:41he pushed her right to the edge.

00:49:43Dr. Condley's word.

00:49:44Excuse me.

00:49:46Oh, do you have any more?

00:49:47No, no, no.

00:49:48No, no.

00:49:49Anything else, sir?

00:49:50I'm not.

00:49:51I mean, I'm sorry.

00:49:52I'm sorry.

00:49:53I'll do this.

00:49:54I can't wait.

00:49:55I can't wait.

00:49:56I can't wait.

00:49:57No, sir.

00:49:58I mean, I'm sorry.

00:49:59I can't wait.

00:50:00I can't wait.

00:50:01Not sure.

00:50:02No, sir, sir.

00:50:03I can't wait.

00:50:04No, sir.

00:50:05It's not.

00:50:06I can't wait.

00:50:07I can't wait.

00:50:08I can't wait.

00:50:09On Shakespeare's computer, traces of emails between Noel, Shakespeare and Peter Stephanophilus.

00:50:15Now, Shakespeare's deleted them, but they're still on the hard disk.

00:50:17What are they about?

00:50:19We're still trying to retrieve the actual emails from now. We've just got the addresses.

00:50:21Okay. How are you getting on with the dental records?

00:50:24I'm on the case.

00:50:26Listen, I want you to chivvy up the phone company.

00:50:29Those threatening calls that Finnegan told Tessabinica about. I want to know who made them.

00:50:33Right.

00:50:35Helen's instinct was right.

00:50:37But Shakespeare had been in touch with Stephanopoulos via email.

00:50:41And they both hated Finnegan.

00:50:42They're in it together.

00:50:44Shakespeare learns about how to make a bomb on the net, but he still needs a mechanic to wire Finnegan's car.

00:50:49Yeah, but that doesn't explain the attack on Helen.

00:50:51No, but it's got to be one of them, hasn't it?

00:50:54Has to be. Has to be.

00:50:56With respect, sir, have you thought about handing this over to someone less involved?

00:51:12I beg your pardon?

00:51:12Well, it doesn't have to be anything.

00:51:17What happened to Helen, and to you, is terrible.

00:51:22But I think you're letting it get in the way of...

00:51:27Doing my job?

00:51:28No, thinking clearly.

00:51:34Are you making a formal complaint, Detective Sergeant?

00:51:37No.

00:51:39Well, it isn't exactly by the book, is it?

00:51:41Oh, excuse me.

00:51:42What's that expression?

00:51:43Pot?

00:51:44Kettle?

00:51:44Black?

00:51:44Well, all I'm saying is...

00:51:46If you're so concerned about doing things by the book, all of a sudden,

00:51:48then you just do what you have to.

00:51:50All right?

00:51:51And I'll do what I have to.

00:51:52I'll do what I have to do.

00:52:22I'm listening.

00:52:26Well, if one of them really did have something against Helen,

00:52:29then maybe we could give them another chance.

00:52:34To do what?

00:52:35To have another cracker.

00:52:37What?

00:52:38Try and flush them out using a decoy.

00:52:42Me.

00:52:46I need my computer back now.

00:52:48We're still not done with it.

00:52:49Look, I'm trying to run a campaign.

00:52:51And I'm trying to find out who murdered Finnegan and who attacked my wife.

00:52:55How is she?

00:52:56Better.

00:52:57Driving herself back to London tonight, actually.

00:53:00In your posh car?

00:53:02Hope she's not like my wife.

00:53:03More prangs than I've had pies.

00:53:06Does she keep in touch?

00:53:07No, thank God.

00:53:11You know Peter Stephanopoulos?

00:53:13What if I do?

00:53:14You email each other.

00:53:16Why?

00:53:17Pete was one of the ex-convicts I tracked down on that website.

00:53:21Finnegan testified at his trial.

00:53:22Swung the jury against him.

00:53:24Same as he did with my Lizzie.

00:53:25And you hope that Stephanopoulos could somehow help hurt Finnegan.

00:53:29Not him.

00:53:30His reputation.

00:53:32Could he?

00:53:33No.

00:53:34We got on, okay.

00:53:36He drinks here sometimes.

00:53:38Any law against that?

00:53:38Look, you've got me wrong, Inspector.

00:53:45I didn't take a pot shot at your wife.

00:53:48And the only man I've ever wanted to kill was Lizzie's husband.

00:53:52Tragedy is, she beat me to it.

00:54:03Who made the first contact?

00:54:05Neil Shakespeare.

00:54:07He did.

00:54:07I got an email out of the blue.

00:54:10Said he was looking for a way to hurt Finnegan.

00:54:12Blowing him out of the water.

00:54:14Unfortunate turn of phrase.

00:54:16His reputation.

00:54:18Odd.

00:54:18You and Shakespeare.

00:54:19Same story, almost word for word.

00:54:22I don't want to think you'd rehearsed it.

00:54:24He did call a couple of hours ago, as he happens.

00:54:27Said you were snooping around.

00:54:30Looking in all the wrong places.

00:54:31I'll see.

00:54:32He also said your wife's on the mend.

00:54:35Going home tonight, is that right?

00:54:37What if it is?

00:54:39Nothing.

00:54:41Glad she's better, that's all.

00:54:42I'm glad she's better.

00:54:42That's all.

00:54:43Helen?

00:54:48Helen?

00:54:48How do I look?

00:54:50Helen?

00:55:11How do I look?

00:55:14Very convincing.

00:55:16Oh, I'm sorry, sorry. I didn't think.

00:55:20Body armor?

00:55:22Yeah, way to tan.

00:55:26I'm not sure I should be letting you do this.

00:55:28Sir, I want to help.

00:55:50What?

00:55:52What?

00:55:53I want to help.

00:55:55I want to help.

00:55:57I want to help.

00:56:06I want to help you understand the world.

00:56:08Actually, the world's famous for you.

00:56:10Alpha 2-0.

00:56:22With you, Alpha 2-0. Game on.

00:56:24Game.

00:56:26Sorry, sir.

00:56:35It handles very nicely.

00:56:40I could get used to this.

00:56:42Mind on the job, Havers.

00:56:45Yes, sir.

00:57:10Pull back a bit, Alpha 2-0. Better off the leash.

00:57:14Roger on, sir.

00:57:20So far, so good.

00:57:21Nurse!

00:57:27It's a bit too close.

00:57:45Havers.

00:57:49That is you, sir. Isn't it coming up behind me?

00:57:53No.

00:57:55Well, someone's getting friendly.

00:58:01A bit too friendly.

00:58:02Alpha 2-0. Registration check.

00:58:04The error to the X-53.

00:58:07The X-T Foxconn.

00:58:08It's flashing me.

00:58:09Okay. Relimit.

00:58:29Registration check, sir.

00:58:30It's Dr. Jellicoe.

00:58:31What is going on?

00:58:33You tell me.

00:58:33This is my way home.

00:58:34I saw your car up ahead.

00:58:36You're driving like a maniac.

00:58:37Because I just got a call on my mobile.

00:58:38Your wife's regained consciousness.

00:58:48Where were you?

00:58:50I'm trying to find out who did this.

00:58:53Oh, Johnny.

00:58:54Oh, baby.

00:58:55I know.

00:58:58Oh, my son.

00:58:59Oh, my son.

00:59:01Oh, my son.

00:59:03Will she be okay?

00:59:09We'll run some tests, but, yeah, she can probably go home tomorrow.

00:59:14Oh, I'm sorry about all that palaver.

00:59:16No, no, it's okay.

00:59:18Look, are you still on duty, or do you want to tell me about it over a drink?

00:59:23Yeah.

00:59:24Hmm?

00:59:30Always a pleasure to serve the police.

00:59:34Have my Pete been in?

00:59:35No.

00:59:36Lost him again?

00:59:37You'd tell me, wouldn't you, if he had someone else.

00:59:40Rule number one of running a pub.

00:59:41See all, hear all, say a note.

00:59:44What's that supposed to mean?

00:59:46Ah, thanks.

00:59:47So, why all the drama earlier?

00:59:51Well, um, we thought that one of our suspects might, um, take another crack at Darlene's wife.

00:59:58By suspects, you mean?

01:00:00Well, or her boyfriend.

01:00:02Who seems to have been putting out about nearly as much as Finnegan.

01:00:05Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot.

01:00:08You were friends.

01:00:11Well, still, men, eh?

01:00:12What do you make of Finnegan's first wife?

01:00:15Maureen.

01:00:17Um, I'm not sure why.

01:00:19Well, I worry about Grace.

01:00:21Maureen seems to be taking over.

01:00:22She won't let me hit the place.

01:00:23Well, we're checking her out.

01:00:26I'll let you know.

01:00:30You safe for another?

01:00:31Oh, no, I'm driving.

01:00:33And it's the boss's car.

01:00:35Back to London.

01:00:36Oh.

01:00:37Local B&B.

01:00:39So there's no Mr. Right waiting out, keeping the home fire's burning.

01:00:43That'll be the day.

01:00:53No, it feels like the end of the world.

01:01:13We could try again, you know?

01:01:15Darling.

01:01:17I don't think I can talk about this right now.

01:01:22Sorry.

01:01:23Still don't know who attacked you.

01:01:35Yeah.

01:01:36We're no closer to finding out who killed your, um...

01:01:41Your friend.

01:01:44Finnegan.

01:01:46Why do you say it like that?

01:01:48I know you're a lover, sir.

01:02:00Ava's...

01:02:00Ava's found this in the outhouse study.

01:02:06Tommy, it...

01:02:07It was years ago.

01:02:10I was a kid.

01:02:10Oh, I know.

01:02:12I know.

01:02:13It doesn't matter.

01:02:15It really doesn't matter.

01:02:16It just...

01:02:17It's...

01:02:18I'm just glad you're okay.

01:02:23You know?

01:02:24So glad you're okay.

01:02:27We'll get through this.

01:02:28I promise.

01:02:28It might not...

01:02:36I am sorry.

01:02:37I know.

01:02:38It'll go ahead.

01:02:39It's...

01:02:42What's next?

01:02:42I don't know.

01:03:12What's happening? I'm calling the police.

01:03:26No, I am the police.

01:03:32So, you saw the car, assumed you were the governor's wife?

01:03:35Yeah, seems like it.

01:03:37Worked then, didn't it, your little decoy trick?

01:03:39Who's going to pay you for the damage?

01:03:41Uh, we'll sort it out.

01:03:43What if they come back?

01:03:45Don't worry about that, love. I'm in now.

01:03:46Oh, my hero.

01:03:48Do you do room service?

01:03:49You don't need a room. You won't be sleeping.

01:03:53Night.

01:03:53You're lucky it was a lamp that broke, not your skull.

01:04:07Well, we've sent the brick off to forensics.

01:04:10Do you think we're followed from the pub?

01:04:11Possibly.

01:04:12Someone inside, watching us all along.

01:04:15Oh, I doubt it.

01:04:17No, no, it was me, not Helen.

01:04:19Do we know where Stephanopoulos was?

01:04:21Not yet.

01:04:22Get on to Shakespeare. I want to list of everyone who was in the pub last night.

01:04:25I assume, and it wasn't Shakespeare himself.

01:04:26Right, I'm ready.

01:04:29What's going on?

01:04:30Someone had a go at Havert's.

01:04:34Well, you were being decoyed for me.

01:04:35Yeah.

01:04:36You all right?

01:04:37Yeah, I'm fine.

01:04:38Well, you'd better stay, I suppose.

01:04:40No, no, no. I said I'd drive you home when I was.

01:04:42Turner can drive me.

01:04:43You're obviously still a target, darling.

01:04:45Well, in that case, the sooner you find out who's behind all this, the better.

01:04:54All right.

01:04:55Yeah.

01:04:55I don't need to tell you how much I'm relying on you, do I?

01:04:59No, sir.

01:05:04I'll be home later tonight.

01:05:06Then we can talk.

01:05:08Properly.

01:05:09Okay.

01:05:19Sir.

01:05:22I just got a dental records ID on the body in the river.

01:05:24It was Gina Stephanopoulos, who, as we know, was garrotted with and were.

01:05:28Like a fishing line.

01:05:36Here they come.

01:05:38Laurel and Ardy.

01:05:40What were you at 11 o'clock last night?

01:05:42Monday, my own business.

01:05:43Enough of the smart aleck stuff.

01:05:44My sergeant here was attacked.

01:05:50I was with a friend.

01:05:51What friend?

01:05:52That one you know.

01:05:53Does this friend have a name?

01:05:55Stacey Carter.

01:05:56Local hairdresser.

01:05:57Local bike.

01:05:58We were just talking.

01:06:01Is this a picture of your ex-wife?

01:06:03Yeah.

01:06:04They pulled her out of the river two days ago.

01:06:05She was murdered.

01:06:07Oh, my God.

01:06:10Poor Gina.

01:06:11Someone tried to weigh her body down with stones, but they didn't do a very good job of it.

01:06:14She was garrotted.

01:06:15She was garrotted with a fishing line.

01:06:18Ah, so you assume it was me, eh?

01:06:20Estimated time of death between midday and midnight on Thursday.

01:06:23I was here.

01:06:25Working till seven.

01:06:27Had dinner with Janice.

01:06:28Went to bed.

01:06:28And you can confirm that?

01:06:31Hello?

01:06:32They're asking you a question.

01:06:36Oh, my God.

01:06:39You cheap, like...

01:06:42early birthday present.

01:06:44It's hers.

01:06:45We had dinner.

01:06:45Went to bed.

01:06:46You went off on Thursday.

01:06:47Don't listen to her.

01:06:48You know women.

01:06:48Got back late.

01:06:49Maybe 11.

01:06:49Sure, Mel.

01:06:53Gina knew you'd never forgive her, didn't she?

01:06:55Yes.

01:06:55Having an affair with the man who put you away for ten years.

01:06:58So she went to ground.

01:07:00But she came out for Finnegan's memorial.

01:07:02That's why you were there.

01:07:04Wasn't it?

01:07:05Am I right?

01:07:06Want my lawyer.

01:07:08Once you'd found her, you couldn't do anything.

01:07:10Too many people.

01:07:12So you waited.

01:07:13You followed her.

01:07:15And you took your revenge.

01:07:17I want my lawyer.

01:07:26Do you think he killed them both?

01:07:28His ex-wife and Finnegan?

01:07:30Motor's there.

01:07:30Typical know-how.

01:07:32Not enough to build a bomb?

01:07:34I don't know.

01:07:34Maybe he learned to use explosives from the net.

01:07:36He's got his computer analysed as well.

01:07:39And certainly wire a car.

01:07:41Can I make a suggestion, sir?

01:07:43What now?

01:07:43Well, leave this to me.

01:07:45Look, you need to go home and take care of your wife.

01:07:50What if you don't mind my saying so?

01:07:56No.

01:07:58Thank you, Havis.

01:07:59Good evening, sir.

01:08:16Everything all right?

01:08:17Yes, sir.

01:08:18Your wife's upstairs.

01:08:19And Australian immigration confirmed.

01:08:21Noel Shakespeare's wife moved to Melbourne last July.

01:08:24But phone company records show he made four calls to Finnegan in the three weeks before Lizzie's appeal.

01:08:29Which ties in with what Tessa Jellicoe said about threats to Finnegan.

01:08:34Right.

01:08:36I'll see you tomorrow morning.

01:08:37Eight.

01:08:37Sharp.

01:08:38All right, sir.

01:08:39Hi, darling.

01:08:50I've got supper.

01:08:51Your favourite.

01:08:56Helen?

01:08:57Helen?

01:08:57I don't believe this is happening.

01:09:05Do stop moaning.

01:09:06He left the house to you.

01:09:08And everything else to you.

01:09:09Cash stops everything.

01:09:10Told you.

01:09:11Guilt running through him like a stick of rock.

01:09:13This is payback time, Gracie.

01:09:15I was like you.

01:09:16I was the perfect wife.

01:09:18But he treated me like a dog.

01:09:20You've been Lady Mac all these years and I've had nothing.

01:09:23No, this has nothing to do with guilt.

01:09:24Why did he change his will three months ago?

01:09:26What happened?

01:09:26Look, the man chased his mind.

01:09:28That's all.

01:09:29People do.

01:09:30He told you, didn't he?

01:09:32Well, he told you he was putting you in the new will.

01:09:35Don't upset yourself.

01:09:36The house is worth the fortune.

01:09:38Worst comes to the worst, sell.

01:09:39They call it downsizing.

01:09:42Where are you going?

01:09:43To shop till I drop.

01:09:44You might want to check your names on that house deeds.

01:09:47Just to set your mind at rest.

01:09:49Toodley.

01:09:54Dear Professor Finnegan, we are sorry to learn of your condition.

01:10:20We can confirm your policy does cover multiple sclerosis.

01:10:25And you knew about this?

01:10:27Yes.

01:10:28Hello, you all right?

01:10:30Fine, thank you.

01:10:31We're busy.

01:10:35Dermot came to me in confidence.

01:10:38You knew he had MS.

01:10:39You knew for three months and you didn't tell me.

01:10:41He didn't want to burden you before he absolutely had to.

01:10:44And I had to respect his privacy.

01:10:46I'm his wife.

01:10:47And he would have had to tell you soon the MS was progressing.

01:10:50A few falls, stumbles, things he could pass off as clumsiness, but not for much longer.

01:10:53And he knew it.

01:10:55Hmm?

01:10:57Am I right in thinking he named you a sole beneficiary?

01:11:02Oh.

01:11:03Of the life insurance, yes.

01:11:05But not in the new will.

01:11:06There's no doubt you know.

01:11:09What new will?

01:11:10Oh, Tessa.

01:11:13How can I believe anything you say?

01:11:17A dozen white roses.

01:11:19Make that two, doesn't it?

01:11:22No, no card.

01:11:24She'll know who they're from.

01:11:32Hardly makes up for what happened, does it?

01:11:35Still, what else can I do?

01:11:36Okay, so what have we got?

01:11:40Uh, well, we've, uh, we've just had a call from Grace Finnegan, a not happy bunny.

01:11:45She wants us to check out Maureen.

01:11:47Because?

01:11:48Well, because Finnegan left her a shed load of dosh.

01:11:51And Maureen knew that she was in the will in advance.

01:11:54So if Maureen wanted the money in a hurry...

01:11:56Well, it was time with this fax that we got from the Irish police.

01:12:00She's broke.

01:12:01She put in a phony insurance claim for a burglary that didn't happen.

01:12:05Her cottage has been repossessed, and she's been living in a caravan for nine months.

01:12:10Right.

01:12:11So, we've got Maureen Finnegan.

01:12:15An old Shakespeare.

01:12:16Uh, who made threatening phone calls to Finnegan.

01:12:18And, you know, he doesn't have an alibi for the, uh, night the car bomb was planted.

01:12:22And Peter Stephanopoulos.

01:12:23Who've already got on Gina's murder.

01:12:25Yeah, but he does have an alibi for the bridge through my window.

01:12:29I talked to that hairdresser, um, Stacey Carter.

01:12:31He was at her place that night.

01:12:33Will she say that in court?

01:12:34Yeah.

01:12:35I reckon so.

01:12:36Still doesn't let him off the hook for Finnegan.

01:12:38Yeah, but it still doesn't give us enough to charge him for it.

01:12:42How much did he leave Maureen in his will?

01:12:45Over 200 grand.

01:12:48Shop to my drop, she said.

01:12:49But she's been gone hours.

01:12:51We'd like to search Maureen's rooms, right?

01:12:53I'll be my guest.

01:12:54Top of the stairs, second on the left.

01:12:58Was this letter the first that you heard about your husband's MS?

01:13:04Yes.

01:13:05He confided in Tessa.

01:13:07MS can be very unpredictable, apparently.

01:13:09Dan would have had another 10, 20 years.

01:13:11And I can't help wondering.

01:13:14What?

01:13:16Well, he wrote Maureen into the will after he found out about the MS.

01:13:20She obviously knew she was in line for money.

01:13:22The question is, did she know you was ill as well?

01:13:27So?

01:13:28What do you think?

01:13:31Amazing what a little cash can do.

01:13:33Well, you know what they say.

01:13:35Shrouds have no pockets.

01:13:36How did you know you were included in the will, Mrs. Finnegan?

01:13:38Oh, Dermot told me.

01:13:41Phoned me to say he had MS.

01:13:43He told you?

01:13:45Yes.

01:13:46So the whole bloody world knew, except me.

01:13:51I'm so sick of being treated like a child.

01:13:54And stopped behaving like one.

01:13:55Can we get back to Professor Finnegan, then?

01:14:00He's said he'd been doing a lot of thinking since he was diagnosed.

01:14:04Dermot didn't know how long he had left, so he wanted to put his affairs in order.

01:14:09Make it up to me.

01:14:11For?

01:14:12Screwing half the country.

01:14:14Running off with grace.

01:14:17Catholic guilt, Inspector.

01:14:18Repentance.

01:14:19Nothing like it.

01:14:20Especially when you think you're about to meet your maker.

01:14:22I thought confession was meant to take care of the guilt.

01:14:24Confession.

01:14:26Finnegan.

01:14:27The amount that man had in his conscience had been in that box months.

01:14:31Right, Gracie?

01:14:33Sorry.

01:14:34The great taboo.

01:14:36Well, I don't know about you, but I need a cup of tea.

01:14:54I don't know.

01:14:55I don't know about you.

01:14:56I don't know about you.

01:15:27He said you get the cash and Grace gets the house.

01:15:39Plus, the life insurance.

01:15:42It's worth about 300,000, isn't it?

01:15:46I've no idea.

01:15:48I believe you.

01:15:49Thousands wouldn't.

01:15:51Are you making some sort of accusation?

01:15:52I wouldn't dream of it.

01:15:55But the poor man had MS.

01:15:57Handy for Gracie that he's not going to be around to be a burden for God knows how many years.

01:16:03I loved him.

01:16:04So did I.

01:16:05Even though he beat you.

01:16:11You searched my room.

01:16:12With Mrs. Finnegan's permission.

01:16:14It is her house.

01:16:16And those are mine too, Ra.

01:16:19Mine.

01:16:19Dermot's presence.

01:16:23I took nothing when I left him.

01:16:26Not even a suitcase.

01:16:27And, uh, what about these?

01:16:33My doctor's idea.

01:16:36In case I locked up courage to charge, but I never did.

01:16:41And is that how it was for you too?

01:16:45Certainly not.

01:16:46Oh, come on, Gracie.

01:16:47The man beat you to a pulp.

01:16:48That's enough.

01:16:49Oh, he's sorry, wasn't he?

01:16:53Always buying those little forgive and forget presents.

01:16:58Silver for me and ornaments for you.

01:17:01And every time the remorse.

01:17:03I wish I could stop.

01:17:07I wish to God I could change Maureen.

01:17:10And I'd say...

01:17:12If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

01:17:17I want you out of my house now.

01:17:19Fine with me.

01:17:21And what about the fraudulent insurance claim you filed in Dublin?

01:17:24It's a total misunderstanding.

01:17:25Not according to the Irish police.

01:17:27I was never charged.

01:17:30And you have no grounds to cherish me now with that.

01:17:33Or anything else.

01:17:36You can go.

01:17:37For now.

01:17:40You leave my silver.

01:17:42My silver.

01:17:45I earned it.

01:18:03So, is she suggesting that Grace murdered Finnegan for the insurance money?

01:18:15Not in so many words, but yes.

01:18:17That could be why she's so adamant he didn't beat her.

01:18:20I mean, it gives a motive and her alibi was Finnegan.

01:18:24Either way, she's not going to tell us.

01:18:25No.

01:18:27But if Grace was being beaten, who would she go to for help?

01:18:30Someone who was a close friend and a doctor?

01:18:33Tessa Jellico.

01:18:35Let's go and see her.

01:18:38Hello, darling.

01:18:39Thanks for the flowers.

01:18:40They're gorgeous.

01:18:42How are you feeling?

01:18:44Tired.

01:18:46Well, feet up.

01:18:46I'll be back as soon as I can and then we'll...

01:18:47Tommy, I've had a long chat with my sister.

01:18:52And?

01:18:54She's invited me to stay.

01:18:56In the country, that's good.

01:18:58Here, I'll meet up with you there.

01:19:00That's not what I mean.

01:19:05Maybe we need some time apart.

01:19:07I think what we need is...

01:19:12is to talk.

01:19:14I don't know if you've had a terrible time.

01:19:16But we'll get home with this.

01:19:18Hold on.

01:19:22Haynes, I'm sorry to do this to you again.

01:19:23It's no problem.

01:19:27I'm on my way.

01:19:28I've already told Penny I'm coming.

01:19:29Well, tell her you've changed your mind.

01:19:31Tommy!

01:19:32I'm setting off right now, okay?

01:19:33You sure you don't mind?

01:19:37No.

01:19:38If you can, I'd just drop me off at the hospital, yeah?

01:19:40Okay.

01:20:03Can I help you?

01:20:22Oh, yeah, I was looking for Dr. Jellico.

01:20:24Oh, she's off duty.

01:20:26What, any idea where she'd be?

01:20:28Well, there's a pub in town where her lot meets sometimes.

01:20:30What do you mean, her lot?

01:20:32I mean, her lesbians.

01:20:34Well, what's wrong with that?

01:20:35No, being a lesbian's fine with me.

01:20:37They're snogging a patient.

01:20:38A vulnerable one.

01:20:40That's a whole different ballgame.

01:20:41Look, I'm investigating a murder.

01:20:44Have you got some professional misconduct grievance

01:20:46to take it out with the hospital authorities and...

01:20:49What?

01:20:52Oh, my God.

01:20:59What is it?

01:20:59Uh, this vulnerable patient, who was she?

01:21:07Feeling better?

01:21:09No.

01:21:10It's a new chapter, Gracie.

01:21:13For both of us.

01:21:16What do you mean for both of us?

01:21:17Yes, Amy?

01:21:32Uh, I've got a break, sister.

01:21:34What, I think?

01:21:35Um, a nurse just told me he saw Dr. Tessa Jellico

01:21:39kissing a vulnerable patient, a woman.

01:21:41Who?

01:21:42Grace Finnegan.

01:21:44Bruises all over her face, like she'd been beaten.

01:21:46A regular customer, going back here,

01:21:48used to come in wearing scarves, trying to hide her face.

01:21:51So they were lovers?

01:21:53Hello?

01:21:54Well, it looks like it.

01:21:55Um, also, Tessa's been busy on the internet

01:21:58researching explosives.

01:22:00Good God.

01:22:01Yeah, and then I saw the sharps box.

01:22:03It's, um, what they use to, um,

01:22:05get rid of contaminated needles.

01:22:06And?

01:22:07The sharps box, sir.

01:22:09S-H-A-R.

01:22:12Right.

01:22:13So where's Tessa now?

01:22:14Uh, well, my hunch was Grace Finnegan.

01:22:22Sir?

01:22:24I'll meet you there.

01:22:26What about Helen?

01:22:27I said I'll meet you there.

01:22:28All right?

01:22:28I'll meet you there.

01:22:30I'll meet you there.

01:22:32I'll meet you there.

01:22:32Let's go.

01:23:02Doing all right?

01:23:06Not really, no.

01:23:07Take the box.

01:23:08Yeah.

01:23:12Where are they?

01:23:13Ah, they're in the garden.

01:23:14Go on.

01:23:19It's not love.

01:23:20It's not.

01:23:20It's control.

01:23:21Dr. Jellicoe, we'd like a word, please.

01:23:23About.

01:23:24He was seen by one of your nurses kissing Mrs. Finnegan.

01:23:30We had a relationship, yes.

01:23:32I ended it.

01:23:33Which is none of their business.

01:23:35Would you have any idea how the casing of the bomb that killed Professor Finnegan

01:23:38was a hospital sharps box?

01:23:41No.

01:23:41And I'm sorry, I can't talk now.

01:23:43I'm late.

01:23:43Whoever planted the bomb probably assumed there'd be nothing left after the explosion.

01:23:48They were wrong.

01:23:49Really?

01:23:50Can you account for your movements on the night the bomb was planted in Professor Finnegan's car?

01:23:56I was at home.

01:23:57Can anyone verify that?

01:23:59No.

01:24:00Your computer at work, do you use the internet?

01:24:03What if I do?

01:24:04Are you aware that whenever you use any website, to make explosives, say, or to build a bomb,

01:24:12that that visit is logged and stored on the computer's hard disk, indelibly?

01:24:16You had no right.

01:24:20You would never have left him.

01:24:2416 years she put up with it.

01:24:26His usual thing.

01:24:27Men like Finnegan.

01:24:28It's all about power.

01:24:29And the same old pattern.

01:24:31He'd be okay for months, and then he'd lose it.

01:24:33And you'd come running back.

01:24:36Take care of me, Tessa.

01:24:38But don't tell anybody, because I love him.

01:24:41And it's not his fault.

01:24:42I did love him.

01:24:44Yes.

01:24:45But it was his fault.

01:24:48And then you found out that he had MS?

01:24:51Yes.

01:24:52And for a moment I thought maybe there was a God.

01:24:55We could be together.

01:24:58But then it hit me.

01:24:59If you hadn't left him when he was healthy, you'd never leave him now.

01:25:04Not in your nature.

01:25:05Why didn't you report to the police that she was being beaten?

01:25:10I wouldn't let her.

01:25:13He wasn't a bad man.

01:25:15He loved me.

01:25:17You see, that's what I couldn't stand.

01:25:19The idea of this sweet, sweet woman tending that animal for years and years and years.

01:25:24So you killed the man I loved.

01:25:27And then what?

01:25:28You and me together, happy ever after.

01:25:31God, you're just like him, pulling the strings, trying to manipulate me.

01:25:36No.

01:25:37I did it for you.

01:25:38And the attack on my wife.

01:25:41Not Havers.

01:25:43That was you too, wasn't it?

01:25:46God in heaven, why?

01:25:48To make it seem like there was some connection between Finnegan's death and one of his past cases.

01:25:52I never meant for your wife to lose the baby.

01:25:56I regret that every day.

01:25:59But not what I did to Finnegan.

01:26:01Not what I did for you.

01:26:02You wouldn't listen, Grace.

01:26:06No, you wouldn't listen.

01:26:09I loved him.

01:26:10Not you.

01:26:11Him.

01:26:11If other people don't understand, too bad he was mine for better and for worse.
