00:00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:00:30I don't know.
00:01:00I don't know.
00:01:30I don't know.
00:02:00I don't know.
00:02:29I'm just going to say, well, I know you need time, but I really would like to talk to you.
00:02:35Inspector Lindley?
00:02:36I might have suffered at the moment, but I'm on my mobile, so if you want to talk, and I hope you do, give me a call.
00:02:45Paula, good to see you again. What have we got?
00:02:47Bits and pieces.
00:02:47They dragged you up here because they thought this was the same as the Tottenham case.
00:02:52Yeah, supposedly.
00:02:54They're not even barking up the wrong tree. They're in the wrong forest.
00:02:58It's a shotgun, and she's blonde, but the way the body's been moved, it doesn't feel the same to me.
00:03:03Well, you got here very quickly.
00:03:06How's that when the call came through?
00:03:07Turning the candle at both ends.
00:03:09Something like that.
00:03:10Oi, Windy Miller, can I have everyone off the crime scene, please?
00:03:13Okay, love. That's me on me way.
00:03:15What did he call me?
00:03:16Not that way. This way. Back the way we've come.
00:03:19Come on, constable.
00:03:19He was the first on the scene. Garrett, one of Suffolk's finest. Probably got his bicycle park around the corner.
00:03:27Constable, did you see anything unusual this morning?
00:03:30Well, this whole thing's unusual for around here, sir.
00:03:32We've got traces of blood in the grass leaving from the house up to here.
00:03:37We've also got a few boot prints in some spilled sand up by the house. They're fresh, size 10.
00:03:43Can we tell her for where I was carrying anything?
00:03:45Well, the prints are slightly deeper than we'd expect, so I'd say there's a good chance, yeah.
00:03:48And she weighs nine stone?
00:03:50Whereabouts.
00:03:51Of course, if she was carried from the house, then there might be some fibres on her clothes.
00:03:56So, I put the egg in my mouth, and I just suck.
00:04:00Sorry, well, you know, you're more than welcome back in London any time.
00:04:03Oh, thank you. You've no idea how much I miss digging bullet fragments out of crack house walls.
00:04:09That's another blast from the past.
00:04:12I heard about the shooting. Is she all right now?
00:04:14Yeah, she is. She's fine.
00:04:18Hello, Barbara. How are you?
00:04:20Oh, Paula.
00:04:21Sir?
00:04:21Havers.
00:04:22I'm fine. Thanks, you?
00:04:24Well, one minute I'm giving a nice gentle lecture on the limited uses of vacuum metal deposition.
00:04:28The next, I'm watching a load of sheep warriors contaminate my crime scene.
00:04:32Same as everything.
00:04:33Solving murders would be an awful lot easier if you took the police out of the equation.
00:04:36Let me know when we're ready to move into the house, will you, Paula?
00:04:39Havers.
00:04:42Havers.
00:04:42The victim is Samantha Walthew, born Samantha Morgan, age 34, Major James Walthew, who's
00:04:52on his way up from London as we speak.
00:04:54He's a property developer. She was an interior designer.
00:04:57I bought this place about six months ago and turned into a fancy hotel.
00:05:00When was the body found?
00:05:02Uh, just before seven o'clock this morning.
00:05:04She was shot in the kitchen, and then her body was dumped out there.
00:05:06Uh, the murder weapon was a, uh, shotgun, but they haven't recovered it yet.
00:05:12Who found the body?
00:05:13Uh, a poacher by the name of Bob Harris.
00:05:17What?
00:05:18A poacher, Havers.
00:05:19That still goes on, does it?
00:05:21Oh, I'm afraid so, Havers. Yes, these are pleasant breeding grounds.
00:05:23Shooter season starts soon, so there's some rich pickings to be had.
00:05:27Charming.
00:05:28The killer didn't try to conceal the body.
00:05:30No.
00:05:31Either he or she was disturbed while moving it, or they didn't care whether it was found or not.
00:05:35And the poacher?
00:05:37That's where we're going now.
00:05:45Are you fighting fit?
00:05:47No, it's official. Do you feel comfortable being back?
00:05:50I'm fine.
00:05:51I'm sure you're fine.
00:05:53You got shot. It's a big deal.
00:05:58Big enough to get compensation.
00:06:00Really?
00:06:02You didn't tell me you'd applied.
00:06:03Well, I didn't know I had.
00:06:04They had me filling out so many forms, but I got late yesterday, and apparently it's coming through.
00:06:09Good for you.
00:06:11Can I ask...
00:06:12Sorry.
00:06:14It's none of my business.
00:06:16Ten grand.
00:06:16Ten thousand pounds?
00:06:19That's fantastic.
00:06:20What are you going to spend it on?
00:06:22I haven't given it much thought.
00:06:23I'll put it in savings.
00:06:25Not what I call the most exciting option.
00:06:27I mean, it's a windfall.
00:06:29It's free money, Havers.
00:06:30You should splash out on yourself.
00:06:33Um, maybe a cruise.
00:06:35Yep.
00:06:35Bingo.
00:06:37Ballroom dancing with people twice your age.
00:06:40Maybe.
00:06:42It's my money.
00:06:44Sorry.
00:06:45Yes.
00:06:46But look, if you do want a financial advisor, I can put you in touch with one.
00:06:50There are some very good ways to invest, you know.
00:06:51Of course I know who she was.
00:06:54Doing up the old priory so smart London types can spend a weekend gawping at locals.
00:06:59Kidding themselves to getting back to nature.
00:07:01What time was this, Mr Harris?
00:07:03Seven thereabouts.
00:07:04What were you doing there?
00:07:06Walking in.
00:07:07There's a law against that.
00:07:08There's a law against trespassing on private property.
00:07:10There's a public footpath.
00:07:12Half a mile from where the body was found.
00:07:14I got lost.
00:07:15I told this, the young lad took my statement.
00:07:17Now you're going over it again with us.
00:07:19This ain't the beat.
00:07:20Are you approaching, Mr Harris?
00:07:21No.
00:07:23What do you do for a living?
00:07:24Listen to that.
00:07:25You can't be more specific.
00:07:28I sign on.
00:07:29I do hard jobs.
00:07:30You can check with us socially if you've got nothing better to do.
00:07:32Do you run a shotgun?
00:07:34Yes, I do.
00:07:35And it's licensed.
00:07:37I've nothing to hide.
00:07:38Good.
00:07:39Then I'll get someone to take it away and we can examine it.
00:07:41We'd better get it back.
00:07:44Did you ever meet some other or few?
00:07:46No.
00:07:47No interest in meeting her.
00:07:49Never saw it already.
00:07:50London type, won't she?
00:07:52Thinks the countryside is some quaint tourist attraction.
00:07:56Come up there.
00:07:58Before you know it, local booze has become a non-smoking wine bar.
00:08:01Where were you last night?
00:08:05Queen's head till closing.
00:08:06I'll come home, watch some rubbish on telly, went to bed.
00:08:09Can anyone corroborate that?
00:08:11He can.
00:08:12Can't anyone speak dog.
00:08:13I'm the best of getting a murder, Mr. Harris.
00:08:18I don't appreciate sarcasm.
00:08:20I don't appreciate being called names like poacher.
00:08:22And I don't like having my private life poked around in.
00:08:28We may need to talk to you again.
00:08:30Are you going to be in the area for the next few days?
00:08:32No, I'm going to New York tomorrow on business.
00:08:41Mr. Wolfiuk?
00:08:44I'm Detective Inspector Linley.
00:08:45This is Detective Sergeant Havers.
00:08:46I would like to offer our condolences.
00:08:52However, we do have questions to ask.
00:08:57This was going to be the restaurant.
00:08:59She had big plans for it.
00:09:00She said it was going to be the best restaurant in East Anglia.
00:09:06Did she suffer?
00:09:09No, I'm sure it was very quick, sir.
00:09:13Do you know of anyone who might have had a reason?
00:09:16She was my wife.
00:09:18I thought she was part of my future.
00:09:22Everything is uncertain.
00:09:23You never really know anything that I thought she would be there.
00:09:31I understand that your wife grew up in the area.
00:09:35Yes, she did.
00:09:36She lived here until she went to university.
00:09:40That's where we met.
00:09:42Did she maintain any ties here?
00:09:44No, no, she didn't.
00:09:47Her parents emigrated to Australia when Sam left for uni.
00:09:50And yet you bought this house?
00:09:52It's business concerning it.
00:09:55But it wasn't just a coincidence.
00:09:57It was here.
00:09:58It didn't hurt that Sam knew the area,
00:09:59but it wasn't a major factor.
00:10:03Are you going to find who did this?
00:10:05Or was he pursuing all avenues of inquiry?
00:10:14Where were you last night?
00:10:17Am I an avenue of inquiry?
00:10:19I'm sorry, but I do need to ask these questions.
00:10:25I work late at my office.
00:10:30I must have got home about ten.
00:10:33I think I went to bed around midnight.
00:10:34You were alone at home?
00:10:38Yes.
00:10:40Did you talk to your wife last night, sir?
00:10:41We speak...
00:10:43Yeah.
00:10:45I spoke several times a day.
00:10:48Yes, she called me last night.
00:10:50About what time?
00:10:50It would have been 10.30, quarter to 11.
00:10:55How did she seem, sir?
00:10:59Stressed.
00:11:01That wasn't unusual for Sam.
00:11:04A project like this.
00:11:05And she was managing it on her own.
00:11:07It throws up all kinds of problems
00:11:08with builders and decorators and so on.
00:11:11She was camping out here
00:11:13to stay on top of everything.
00:11:15And that's what she was stressed about?
00:11:17Yes.
00:11:18I think so.
00:11:23She...
00:11:23She'd been quite distant
00:11:25the last few days.
00:11:28Distant?
00:11:29Why?
00:11:31I've no idea.
00:11:33Just, if something was bothering her,
00:11:34you'd be able to tell from her demeanour.
00:11:37But you'd never know what it was
00:11:38until she was ready to tell you.
00:11:40She was
00:11:44preoccupied with something more
00:11:47than work, I think.
00:11:52Thank you, sir.
00:11:59Ah, Inspector.
00:12:00We've just received something
00:12:01rather curious by email.
00:12:03It was sent anonymously
00:12:04to the local station
00:12:05and seems to have been
00:12:06taken on the grounds.
00:12:07Can you trace the sender?
00:12:08It was sent from an internet
00:12:10cath up at the town.
00:12:11Now, uniformer there
00:12:12checking to see
00:12:13if anyone remembers anything
00:12:14or if the sender
00:12:15was caught on CCTV.
00:12:16But you can get the date and time
00:12:17the image was taken
00:12:18from the file attachment,
00:12:19can't you?
00:12:203.07 yesterday afternoon.
00:12:22Now, if we found
00:12:23either the camera
00:12:23it was taken with
00:12:24or the computer
00:12:25that it was originally saved on,
00:12:27we could match them up conclusively.
00:12:29Can I keep this?
00:12:30Of course.
00:12:31I'll take it in copies.
00:12:32I'll just find it
00:12:32without manners.
00:12:33I'll see you've met
00:12:34my new geek.
00:12:36It's, um,
00:12:36tech specialist.
00:12:37It's okay, Simon.
00:12:38Some of my best friends
00:12:39are geeks.
00:12:40Can we do the walkthrough, Paula?
00:12:43It's fine.
00:12:56Family stamps
00:12:57by the look of it.
00:12:58This room's a goldmine.
00:13:00Tell me something.
00:13:01Where was the husband last night?
00:13:03He says he was in London.
00:13:04Okay.
00:13:05Good.
00:13:06Why?
00:13:07Without getting lurid,
00:13:08there's a wealth of DNA
00:13:09on these sheets.
00:13:11And even if there wasn't,
00:13:12someone left the toilet seat
00:13:13up in the bathroom.
00:13:15Your victim was having
00:13:16an affair, Inspector.
00:13:17Either that
00:13:18or the husband was lying.
00:13:19Anyway, he was here.
00:13:20Well, we're still lifting prints.
00:13:21We'll let you know
00:13:22if we get a match
00:13:22in the meantime.
00:13:27Dog hairs?
00:13:28Very good.
00:13:30Dog hairs.
00:13:31Not enough for there actually
00:13:32to have been a dog in here,
00:13:33but enough to have come
00:13:34from the clothes
00:13:35of someone who owns one
00:13:36or who's recently
00:13:37come into contact with one.
00:13:38We're looking for a dog owner
00:13:39in the countryside.
00:13:42Okay.
00:13:43So Samantha Wolf,
00:13:44who and her mystery man
00:13:45finished doing their business
00:13:46on the bed.
00:13:47What happens next?
00:13:50Do we know what happened to him?
00:13:51Not yet.
00:13:53Samantha's footprints
00:13:54are all through here.
00:13:56She's dodging these step ladders
00:13:58and the various bits and pieces
00:13:59strewn about.
00:14:00There's no electricity
00:14:01on this floor,
00:14:02not even working lights,
00:14:03so it would have been dark.
00:14:04Any other footprints?
00:14:05Lots.
00:14:06Builders have been
00:14:07coming in and out.
00:14:08Hers are easy,
00:14:09because she's barefoot.
00:14:10We're trying to lift prints
00:14:11and match them
00:14:12with all the workmen,
00:14:13but it's a bit of a mess.
00:14:14Doors, windows?
00:14:15Nothing's been forced
00:14:16or broken.
00:14:17Unless she comes
00:14:17into the kitchen,
00:14:19which is also dark.
00:14:21And she moves across to here.
00:14:23There was a three-quarter moon
00:14:24last night,
00:14:25waning, if anyone cares,
00:14:27so there would have been
00:14:28some light coming
00:14:29through this window,
00:14:29just enough to see by.
00:14:31This whole area here
00:14:32is peppered with shots,
00:14:33so presumably the shooter
00:14:35was at this sort of angle
00:14:38and, what,
00:14:40two or three metres away?
00:14:41Mm-hmm.
00:14:42We found a broken glass
00:14:43tumbler in the sink.
00:14:44We're lifting prints
00:14:45from the glass fragments.
00:14:46I'd be very surprised
00:14:47if they weren't hers.
00:14:49So she's facing the window
00:14:50and gets shot in the back.
00:14:53Why not just leave her here?
00:14:57And why bother
00:14:58to take her outside
00:14:59if you're not going
00:15:00to conceal the body?
00:15:03I'm just going
00:15:04to let's appreciate it, sir.
00:15:09You've been in the wars.
00:15:12I overheard the message
00:15:13you left for Helen
00:15:14this morning.
00:15:17Yeah, we're not together,
00:15:18that would.
00:15:19And you don't want
00:15:20to talk about it?
00:15:21She was in a car accident.
00:15:27We lost our baby.
00:15:29I heard.
00:15:31I'm sorry.
00:15:34She's, um,
00:15:35she's having a hard time
00:15:36coping with it
00:15:36and she thinks
00:15:37she needs some time
00:15:38on her own.
00:15:40Maybe she's right.
00:15:43She's temporary.
00:15:45I'm just giving her
00:15:46some space.
00:15:47And you?
00:15:48You?
00:15:51How are you coping?
00:15:55With the separation.
00:15:56With the loss.
00:15:58It was your baby, too.
00:16:02I cope.
00:16:05Sir,
00:16:06we've identified
00:16:08the man in the photograph.
00:16:09His name's Philip Turner
00:16:10and he used to own the Priory.
00:16:18All right, yeah.
00:16:19I'll post it on, thanks.
00:16:21We're going to contact
00:16:23the Morgans,
00:16:24Samantha's parents
00:16:24and tell them what happened.
00:16:26Oh, and the photo
00:16:27by the bedside,
00:16:28it's Kate Morgan,
00:16:29Samantha's sister.
00:16:30She's three years younger.
00:16:31So where is she?
00:16:32Well, we're trying to trace her.
00:16:35Don't you think it's odd
00:16:36that James Wolfe
00:16:37never mentioned her sister?
00:16:40Perhaps they were estranged.
00:16:41Yeah, but
00:16:42you still wanted to know
00:16:43though, wouldn't you?
00:16:44The Morgans
00:16:53is the one that's
00:16:54Bismarck.
00:16:56It's all right,

00:17:34auction that's right not the most popular outcome as far as some of the locals are concerned a lot of
00:17:41people worried about the gentrification of the countryside around here i think they thought
00:17:45that james and samantha were going to turn the place into some kind of theme park how well did
00:17:50you know samantha well and each other growing up well the group of us village kids you know
00:17:56we were inseparable for a time are the others still around oh yeah amanda gibson lives here she was
00:18:03sam's best friend back then david and liz hughes run the queen's head but she never stayed in touch
00:18:09with anyone sam always used to say the best thing about a place like this was seeing it disappear in
00:18:14the rearview mirror and yet she did come back and you became close again we saw each other around the
00:18:22place sir mr turner are you going to make me waste my forensic team's time matching the hairs from this
00:18:37dog to the ones we found in samantha's bedroom we've been seeing each other for a few weeks
00:18:45whenever she came up it's an affair inspector you're supposed to lie about it not during a murder
00:18:52investigation you're not you saw her last night i did i went around there about 11
00:18:58she was very much alive when i left which was when just before one and you saw her yesterday afternoon
00:19:04not that i recall no
00:19:07why did you leave last night why didn't you stay i never stayed not my choice sam didn't believe that
00:19:17sex with someone constituted infidelity if you can understand that she drew a line between sex and
00:19:24intimacy she'd sleep with you but she didn't want to wake up next to you
00:19:27did her husband know about the affair i don't think so i'm gonna have someone come up and take
00:19:39a formal statement from me and uh we have to take your gun for forensic examination
00:19:44look i realize i must be a suspect
00:19:55well i think there was someone else there last night
00:19:59that must be the most predictable thing i could say i'm listening
00:20:03i didn't see anyone but when i left getting into my car i heard
00:20:08something in the undergrowth i don't think that it could have been an animal
00:20:12whereabouts off to my right in the grounds
00:20:16but you didn't see anyone no okay mr tanner
00:20:23did you love her
00:20:27no
00:20:29this is my world inspector
00:20:34in the last year i've lost everything
00:20:38and i realized that i never really had anything to lose it's a strange feeling
00:20:43spend your life desperately clinging on to things that you don't really want
00:20:47probably i should be up a mountain somewhere
00:20:52chanting
00:20:53but i'm not i'm here
00:20:5536 fairly pointless years on earth
00:20:59i aspire to nothing in my future and i may not even be halfway through my life
00:21:04i didn't love her no
00:21:07but i will miss her
00:21:09sorry
00:21:12we'll talk again i'm sure
00:21:17okay so we get sent this photograph of smantha walthu and philip turner arguing
00:21:29and yet he denies he even saw her yesterday afternoon
00:21:33he does admit though to having an affair with her
00:21:37and claims that he was with her last night leaving her around one o'clock
00:21:41now we're pretty sure that she was killed within an hour of that
00:21:45right
00:21:46so he must be the last person to see her alive
00:21:49did you believe him when he said he didn't love her
00:21:54the speech
00:21:55nihilism in a barber in green wellies
00:21:57did you buy it
00:21:58no
00:21:58not really
00:21:59so turner said he thought he saw someone standing
00:22:03over here
00:22:05if it was then
00:22:06well that person we've seen turner leave and samantha come into the kitchen
00:22:11and go to the sink
00:22:12james walthu
00:22:14we can't corroborate his alibi
00:22:16he may have known about the affair despite what turner said
00:22:19either that or turner is deliberately pointing out in the wrong direction
00:22:23a prowler in the underground it's a bit convenient isn't it
00:22:27he did say it sounded predictable
00:22:28double bluff
00:22:30he's a gambler
00:22:32he's very calm with us
00:22:33maybe he just showed us his poker face
00:22:36it's quiet isn't it
00:22:45yeah
00:22:46peaceful
00:22:48i wonder how samantha felt moving back here
00:22:52i prefer london
00:22:57knowing that there's people around
00:23:00sir is paulist team still here
00:23:08no no they've gone for the day
00:23:10there's someone inside
00:23:11there's someone inside
00:23:41Here, here.
00:23:42Here.
00:23:43Here.
00:23:44Here.
00:23:49I'll go down!
00:24:05Hey!
00:24:06Hey, what's up here?
00:24:11Did you get a look at him?
00:24:21No.
00:24:27What's this?
00:24:29M-O-K-I-T-A.
00:24:35It's not in the dictionary.
00:24:37No, I don't think it's an English word.
00:24:39It's probably not English.
00:24:41We'll do an internet search or whatever.
00:24:43Bye.
00:24:47That's the photograph, now this.
00:24:49I think someone's trying to tell us something, Haynes.
00:24:51I mean, it's not just the stock market.
00:24:52There's art, there's property.
00:24:53After you get money for £10,000.
00:24:54But when you get back to London, you really should look into it.
00:24:55Don't want to leave your money just sitting there in a building society.
00:24:56Okay.
00:24:57What would you recommend, sir?
00:24:58Wines, Haynes.
00:24:59Wines, Haynes.
00:25:00Certain wines increase enormously in value.
00:25:01And if you store them right, you get a great return on your investment.
00:25:03Sir, I think I was going to spend £10,000 on booze.
00:25:04I want to drink it.
00:25:05Typical bird.
00:25:06You're always where you don't want it.
00:25:07Come on, Haynes.
00:25:08Come on, Haynes.
00:25:09Come on, Haynes.
00:25:10What a bear.
00:25:11Each one's very good in one day.
00:25:12You want to be here?
00:25:13Make a bear.
00:25:14Come on, Haynes.
00:25:15I have a loin party.
00:25:16Okay.
00:25:17What would you recommend, sir?
00:25:18Wines, Haynes.
00:25:19Certain wines increase enormously in value.
00:25:20And if you store them right, you'll get a great return on your investment.
00:25:23Sir, I think I was going to spend £10,000 on booze.
00:25:24I want to drink it.
00:25:25Typical bird.
00:25:26You always want to bring it.
00:25:28When you start...
00:25:29Come on, Haynes.
00:25:30For a bear in, he's burry just like his dad.
00:25:32Hey, hey, no.
00:25:33Just...
00:25:34Give me that.
00:25:35Come on, Haynes.
00:25:36Come on, Haynes.
00:25:37Come on.
00:25:38You're David Hughes.
00:25:39Hi.
00:25:40I'm Detective Inspector Lindley. I need to talk to you in a minute.
00:25:42First of all, I want to clear this up.
00:25:43What is this?
00:25:44Inside with that little spunce.
00:25:46What's going on here, then?
00:25:48Don't look at me.
00:25:49Poaching, trespassing, now brawling.
00:25:51Always brawling. Should we be talking to that one in hospital?
00:25:54You know, you're just one badly chosen word away from spending the night in the cells.
00:25:59What's your name?
00:26:00He's Billy Verger.
00:26:01What the hell are you protecting him for?
00:26:03Because nobody else will.
00:26:03Yeah, well, quite right, too.
00:26:05Right, you two, inside.
00:26:06This is my pub.
00:26:07Our pub?
00:26:08I'll get to you.
00:26:09Let me talk to this one on his own.
00:26:11I want her to stay.
00:26:12No, he's a good lad, aren't you, Billy?
00:26:14He's fine from that.
00:26:15Please, sir, both of you go inside.
00:26:23Will?
00:26:24I'm fine.
00:26:25I didn't ask you how you were.
00:26:27I'm not saying anything.
00:26:30There was nothing.
00:26:32It's between me and him.
00:26:34It's nothing to do with what you're here for.
00:26:36I'm investigating a murder, Mr Harris.
00:26:37If one of my suspects...
00:26:39Don't look so surprised.
00:26:42If one of my suspects causes an affray right under my nose, I'm going to make it my business.
00:26:47Is that understood?
00:26:48I think they've just had a few too many, sir.
00:26:50I'll take care of it for you.
00:26:51Our paths are better not cross again, Mr Harris.
00:26:57I'll live it in your hands, then, Constable.
00:27:02Everything all right, Inspector?
00:27:03Sorry you cocked her up, didn't I?
00:27:04It's all been taken care of now, Mr Hughes.
00:27:08I understand that Samantha was a friend of yours.
00:27:11A very long time ago, yeah.
00:27:14We were an item, actually.
00:27:16It sort of petered out, you know, when she went off to university.
00:27:20These long-distance things don't stand much of a chance, do they?
00:27:22But you were presumably reacquainted when she and her husband bought the Grand Priory.
00:27:28Well, I saw her around the place, but we didn't really talk.
00:27:30Is that a bit strange, if you were so close before her?
00:27:35You didn't know Sam, Inspector.
00:27:37Never known anyone who could slam the door on the pass like she could.
00:27:41Just Sam, is it?
00:27:43Yeah, I was just saying, she were like a shark, wasn't she?
00:27:46You know, now they have to keep moving forward, else they'll die.
00:27:49No, she was there.
00:27:50All that time away, not a letter, not a card, nothing.
00:27:53Well, except Amanda, Amanda Gibson.
00:27:55I think they had some sort of contact, was it James?
00:27:58James Wolfe, you?
00:27:59James and Amanda's family were friends before they were born.
00:28:02It was through Amanda and knowing Sam that James met her at university.
00:28:06Is Billy all right?
00:28:08Ears open.
00:28:09Um, what were, uh, Bob Harris and Billy Virgil fighting about?
00:28:13Well, they don't like Billy.
00:28:15Who doesn't?
00:28:16Oh, this place, the village.
00:28:18Why, do you blame them? Like father, like son, that's why.
00:28:21What does that mean?
00:28:23It's just a figure of speech.
00:28:25No, no, it was quite specific.
00:28:26Well, it's this Ron Verger, Inspector.
00:28:30He was a scourge of this place once upon a time,
00:28:32and Billy looks to be following in his footsteps.
00:28:33Well, that's not fair.
00:28:35No, he's cut from different class, that one.
00:28:36He's a clever lad.
00:28:38Where's Ron Verger now?
00:28:40Far away from here as possible, I hope.
00:28:42Upton left.
00:28:43What's happened?
00:28:44Billy and his mum, what, 15 years ago?
00:28:46About that.
00:28:46Last I heard, he was up north.
00:28:49And that's not nearly far enough.
00:28:52Let's get back to the hotel.
00:28:54Tomorrow I want to look up this Ron Verger,
00:28:56find out where on earth he's got to.
00:28:58Sure.
00:29:05I'll wait in the car.
00:29:06Billy.
00:29:23What's the fight in there about your dad?
00:29:28Do you want to talk about him?
00:29:30No.
00:29:30How old were you when he left?
00:29:37Ten, eleven?
00:29:39Nine.
00:29:40You never heard from him?
00:29:47My dad's not around anymore.
00:29:50From a former support group.
00:29:56Ron, wasn't it?
00:29:57He sounds like quite a character.
00:30:01In a horror film, yeah.
00:30:04Not bad.
00:30:08I don't want to talk to you.
00:30:09Then why were you waiting for us?
00:30:14I think you do want to talk to us, Billy.
00:30:22Billy.
00:30:27There's something down here somewhere.
00:30:40Here you are.
00:30:46Sorry.
00:30:47Sorry.
00:30:49Thanks.
00:30:51You cope really well today.
00:30:53Thanks.
00:30:54It's not very grand, is it?
00:30:58Well, I know you're coming to some money, Avis,
00:30:59but we can't all stay out of the ritz.
00:31:01That's very funny, sir.
00:31:04Oh.
00:31:06Have a good night.
00:31:08Good night, sir.
00:31:08Good night, sir.
00:31:24Good night.
00:31:32Bye-bye.
00:31:40Bye-bye.
00:31:41Bye-bye.
00:31:46Bye.
00:31:46Bye-bye.
00:31:50Oh, good. There you are.
00:32:00Here we are.
00:32:01Mokita.
00:32:02That which everybody knows but nobody speaks of.
00:32:06Apparently, it originates from a tribe in New Guinea.
00:32:10So what is it that everybody knows?
00:32:11Well, I've got some news on Samantha's sister Kate Morgan, sir.
00:32:15Oh, good. Where is she?
00:32:16Here.
00:32:17Here?
00:32:18Mm. Buried in the village churchyard.
00:32:21The coroner's report lists it as suicide.
00:32:23She took an overdose in 1989.
00:32:25And nobody thought to mention this.
00:32:27Well, that's not all.
00:32:29The coroner's report also mentions broken fingernails
00:32:32and a bruise to the cheek that might be consistent with an assault or some kind of fight.
00:32:36This all happened about three months before Samantha went off to university
00:32:40and the parents emigrated to Australia.
00:32:43Yeah, good work, Evert.
00:32:46Now we need to find out more about Ron Verger.
00:32:48Oh, um, we've listed 31 Ron Vergers living in the UK.
00:32:52We're checking them all.
00:32:53Excellent.
00:32:54I want to talk again with James Wolfe, you.
00:32:56When's Samantha's post-mortem?
00:32:57Um, they're doing it this morning.
00:33:01Arrange for him to come in and identify the body.
00:33:04We'll ask him about Kate then.
00:33:05That's...
00:33:12Yes, that's her.
00:33:17Samantha.
00:33:21All right, thank you.
00:33:23Come and get you a glass of water or something, sir.
00:33:38I'm fine, thank you.
00:33:43There's something I think I should tell you, Inspector.
00:33:46My wife.
00:33:56She was having an affair.
00:33:58Yes, we know.
00:34:06I found these two weeks ago.
00:34:08I was going to ask Sam about them.
00:34:10I suppose you'd call them love letters.
00:34:16They're from David Hughes, the landlord at the Queen's Head.
00:34:19Why didn't you mention these before?
00:34:23The first one is dated a couple of months ago.
00:34:27Just a few weeks after we bought the Priory.
00:34:28Mr. Walthier, would you say that your marriage was a happy one?
00:34:40I loved my wife, and she loved me.
00:34:45Sometimes...
00:34:46Sam found it necessary to...
00:34:50satisfy her needs elsewhere.
00:34:56It's not easy to live like that.
00:34:58Sam was able to make the distinction between love and sex,
00:35:04so...
00:35:05I learned to do the same.
00:35:09I suppose David Hughes must have got back in touch
00:35:11at just the right time.
00:35:13Actually, sir, to our knowledge,
00:35:15she wasn't having an affair with David Hughes.
00:35:24Then who?
00:35:26Philip Turner.
00:35:28Another notch on Turner's bedpost.
00:35:36I'm not sure that's how she'd want to be remembered.
00:35:40Did he kill her?
00:35:42Do you think it a possibility?
00:35:44I really don't know.
00:35:45Another thing you failed to mention when we last spoke was Samantha's sister, Kate Morgan.
00:35:55Kate was never spoken about.
00:35:57She...
00:35:57She killed herself.
00:36:00The memory was terribly painful for Sam.
00:36:02She kept it locked up.
00:36:04She talked to me about it once when we first met,
00:36:06but she never spoke about it again.
00:36:09I must say, I really don't see how that's relevant now.
00:36:11Why did she commit suicide?
00:36:13I'm afraid I have no idea.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:19Did you have any other questions you wanted to ask me?
00:36:23No.
00:36:24Well, if you'll excuse me, I have funeral arrangements to make.
00:36:27When she went away to university, I was devastated.
00:36:3718 years old, you're gutted when any relationship breaks down, but...
00:36:40But this was more than that.
00:36:44Why?
00:36:46It just was.
00:36:47You know, the idea that your perfect match is out there somewhere.
00:36:54Well, that was Sam, as far as I was concerned.
00:36:56Sam?
00:36:59Not your wife?
00:37:02When Sam left, I tried to push her out of my head, move on.
00:37:07I married Liz, and I do love Liz.
00:37:11We were happy all that time.
00:37:14Until Sam came back.
00:37:15But she didn't come back for you, though, did she?
00:37:20No.
00:37:22So did you feel that was some sort of sign that you should be together?
00:37:27What, like fate, you mean?
00:37:30No, not into any of that.
00:37:32It's just that Sam was the only one who had the guts to get out of this place.
00:37:36Did you envy her for that?
00:37:38Yeah.
00:37:39Made her irresistible.
00:37:41The people I know are the people I grew up with.
00:37:49Out there in the world, you can choose your friends.
00:37:52In a place like this, Inspector, you're stuck with whoever's about.
00:37:54What did you hope to achieve, writing these letters?
00:38:02I just wanted her to know how I felt.
00:38:05I wanted to know if she could feel the same way about me.
00:38:09Instead, you found she wanted someone more like Philip Turner.
00:38:12Do you know how I saw them together?
00:38:19I drove past them on the road late one night on my way back from snooker.
00:38:26And they were kissing.
00:38:28Did that make you angry?
00:38:29I was disappointed.
00:38:34I mean, why would she go out with him?
00:38:37You've met him.
00:38:38He tramples on everything.
00:38:40He doesn't care.
00:38:40Born into all that wealth.
00:38:42What does he do?
00:38:43He squanders it.
00:38:44How could she be so stupid?
00:38:51Do you have an alibi for the night that Samantha died?
00:38:53I was with Liz all night.
00:38:58And I don't want her to know about this.
00:38:59She won't understand.
00:39:00I'm not going to keep your secrets for you.
00:39:03She'll find out soon enough.
00:39:06I love my wife, Inspector.
00:39:09And this is my life now.
00:39:12And I've just got to get on with it the best I can.
00:39:19Have you heard?
00:39:20We can prove that Bob Harris's shotgun was fired in the last few years.
00:39:23and it matches cartridges found at the edge of the estate.
00:39:27Right.
00:39:30I think we'd have to pay Mr Harris another visit.
00:39:32Oh.
00:39:34Ron Verger.
00:39:39When did he disappear?
00:39:41About 15 years ago.
00:39:43We don't have an exact date.
00:39:45But Susan Verger started claiming benefits to a single mother in August 1989.
00:39:50That's three months after Kate committed suicide.
00:39:53We need to clarify where he went.
00:39:57What about David Hughes?
00:40:00He's obsessed with Samantha.
00:40:02Says his wife doesn't know about it.
00:40:04There's no love lost between him and Philip Turner.
00:40:06Who I think knows more than he's telling us.
00:40:08Are either of you two armed?
00:40:15Because I want to shoot somebody.
00:40:17What happened?
00:40:18That useless, yokel, clod who was stomping about the crime scene.
00:40:22Garrett.
00:40:22I've just had a call from the lab.
00:40:25Our size 10 suspect.
00:40:27Oh, no.
00:40:28That is the boot print of a man who's been in the police force for God knows how long
00:40:33and still hasn't grasped crime scene protocol.
00:40:37He was first there, was he?
00:40:39Yeah, Bob Harris called him when he discovered the body.
00:40:41Oh, I don't believe it.
00:40:44Havers, have someone find Garrett and tell him to report to us immediately, will he?
00:40:47Yes, sir.
00:40:48Have you spoken to Helen?
00:41:06I'm just worried about Avis, that's all.
00:41:18Mr. Harris.
00:41:24Make yourselves at home.
00:41:26We have some interesting news concerning your gun.
00:41:28Solved the Kennedy assassination, have you?
00:41:31We've had some forensic tests done on your gun.
00:41:34And we've found some unhardened residue on the barrel indicating it'll be fired in the last few days.
00:41:39Miracles of modern solids.
00:41:41What are you trying to prove?
00:41:42Are you saying it hasn't been fired in the last few days?
00:41:44I've shot some rabbits and been playing havoc in my vegetable patch.
00:41:48So where are they?
00:41:49We ate them.
00:41:50We?
00:41:51We and him.
00:41:54The cartridge that killed Samantha Wolfhue will match whatever gun it was fired from.
00:41:58You know that, don't you?
00:41:59It's not my gun.
00:42:00We found some cartridges elsewhere on the Grand Pire Estate that do match your gun.
00:42:05Now, you said yesterday that you're not a poacher.
00:42:08Is that right?
00:42:09You two got me down as a proper villain, ain't you?
00:42:11You hardly look like a pillar of the community, do you?
00:42:14Is that how you do your detective work, Inspector?
00:42:16Judge a man on his appearance?
00:42:18I might not be a conventional sort of a bloke.
00:42:20That doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to decide to go sneaking around in the middle of the night killing some girl.
00:42:25Do you resent people who lead conventional lives?
00:42:27I chose this life.
00:42:29What I feel about people in the village is my business.
00:42:30This is a picture of you not seeing Samantha on Tuesday afternoon.
00:42:44Where did this come from?
00:42:51What were you arguing about?
00:42:54I honestly don't remember.
00:42:56It was two days ago.
00:42:57There must have been something quite trivial, then, or I'd recall.
00:43:00Do you have any idea who took the photograph?
00:43:02Should I know?
00:43:03Would you describe yourself, Mr. Turner, as a possessive man?
00:43:07I wouldn't say so, no.
00:43:09Having an affair with a very beautiful woman.
00:43:12She won't let you stay the night.
00:43:13She won't leave her husband for you.
00:43:14I never asked her to.
00:43:15And what?
00:43:18I killed Samantha because I couldn't have her for myself.
00:43:20It's happened before.
00:43:22What makes you think I wanted her?
00:43:24I told you I aspire to nothing.
00:43:26Well, some people would say that Samantha will prove something to aspire to.
00:43:30Who else in the village knew about you two?
00:43:32I don't think anyone else knew.
00:43:35Tell me about Ron Verger.
00:43:36Did you know him?
00:43:39Yeah, I did.
00:43:41Not personally.
00:43:43I knew who he was.
00:43:44What he was.
00:43:45Ron Verger's ancient history.
00:43:49Where did he go?
00:43:51I don't know.
00:43:51Abroad, I heard.
00:43:53We understood he went north.
00:43:56What about his son?
00:43:58Billy.
00:43:59He's trouble.
00:44:00That's as much as I know about him.
00:44:02What kind of trouble?
00:44:04Vandalism, burglary, arson.
00:44:07The usual stuff.
00:44:07He's not a master criminal.
00:44:08He hasn't got a record.
00:44:10Well, that doesn't mean he's not a criminal, does it?
00:44:12Just that he doesn't get caught.
00:44:13Ron Verger disappeared around the same time that Kate Morgan committed suicide.
00:44:20Am I supposed to see a connection?
00:44:22Is there one?
00:44:23You're the detective.
00:44:24Why did you lie to us about not seeing Samantha on the afternoon of her death?
00:44:29I told you I didn't lie.
00:44:31I forgot.
00:44:32Now, is that a lie?
00:44:33That you forgot?
00:44:34Is there a point to these questions?
00:44:35Because it just feels like you're trying to provoke me into a confession.
00:44:38We're trying to establish who killed Samantha Wolf.
00:44:40Well, I don't know the answer to that.
00:44:42I'm tired of this.
00:44:44I suggest, Mr Turner, instead of aspiring to nothing, you decide to tell us the truth and
00:44:49help us eliminate you from our inquiries.
00:44:51Can we see the photograph again?
00:45:07Do you know exactly where it was taken?
00:45:10No.
00:45:10We should find out, though.
00:45:12There's something here we're missing.
00:45:14So, who's she?
00:45:20Oh, that's James Wolfe, though, isn't it?
00:45:23Yeah, it might be Amanda Gibson.
00:45:35Amanda Gibson.
00:45:37I'm Detective Inspector Lindley.
00:45:38This is Detective Sergeant Havers.
00:45:40Mr Wolfe, you?
00:45:44These were her favourites.
00:45:49Would you like me to leave?
00:45:51No.
00:45:51Actually, we do have questions for the both of you.
00:45:53Don't you think James has answered enough questions for one day?
00:45:55It's okay, Amanda.
00:45:58We're old friends, Inspector.
00:45:59Amanda is protective of me.
00:46:02We're interested in why Samantha's sister, Kate, committed suicide.
00:46:08Well, I'm sorry.
00:46:09I don't know that.
00:46:10Yeah, um, no, we thought that Miss Gibson, knowing Samantha at the time,
00:46:14might have.
00:46:16The coroner's report suggests that there were signs of an assault,
00:46:19that she'd been in a fight.
00:46:20I wouldn't know about that.
00:46:21Surely you would.
00:46:23You were her sister's best friend.
00:46:28Kate committed suicide after an incident of some kind.
00:46:31You must tell us everything you know, Miss Gibson.
00:46:39Amanda?
00:46:45Kate was raped.
00:46:49Fifteen-year-old girl, and he raped her.
00:46:55Who raped her?
00:46:56Ron Verger.
00:47:00Billy's dead.
00:47:03She was walking home one night from a friend's house.
00:47:07Must have been ten or eleven o'clock at night.
00:47:09And he jumped out at her on the side of the road
00:47:13and dragged her into the woods on the edge of the priory.
00:47:17And she said it was Ron Verger.
00:47:18She saw it.
00:47:19Yes.
00:47:22Kate didn't want anybody to know about it.
00:47:24She was embarrassed.
00:47:26Shamed.
00:47:27She wanted to keep quiet,
00:47:31but...
00:47:32Samantha wasn't about to let it lie.
00:47:36She was absolutely determined to persuade Kate
00:47:39to go to the police to make a statement.
00:47:42Two days later, Kate killed herself.
00:47:48Sam always said she blamed Ron Verger for it,
00:47:51but I think she secretly blamed herself.
00:47:52She felt if she hadn't pushed Kate quite so hard
00:47:57to go to the police,
00:47:57maybe Kate would still be alive.
00:48:04Why couldn't she tell me?
00:48:07James...
00:48:07She was my wife.
00:48:11She didn't want you to know how...
00:48:14responsible she felt.
00:48:17I'm sorry.
00:48:18And were the police ever informed?
00:48:23Yes.
00:48:25Sam and I told the police after Kate's death.
00:48:30But Ron Verger denied everything,
00:48:33and without Kate there was no evidence,
00:48:35so nothing happened.
00:48:39How soon after this did Ron Verger leave the area?
00:48:44Um...
00:48:45A few days.
00:48:46A few days.
00:48:48Perhaps less.
00:48:50Did anyone else know that this had happened?
00:48:53I imagine Samantha told David Hughes.
00:48:57Um, they were seeing each other at the time,
00:48:58and she was so upset by it.
00:49:01And then Samantha left?
00:49:04I think everything about this place
00:49:05reminded her of what had happened.
00:49:07Her parents were destroyed by it.
00:49:10They didn't know the full story,
00:49:12but their daughter committing suicide,
00:49:14they emigrated to Australia.
00:49:15Sam stayed over here and went to university.
00:49:21Think she wanted a clean slate.
00:49:26That's why she never told you.
00:49:27She wanted to forget about it.
00:49:28We're going to Bury Salm just over there.
00:49:46This was our favourite place,
00:49:48the three of us.
00:49:51We used to play here when we were kids.
00:49:52What was Samantha like?
00:50:01She was just like the rest of us, I suppose.
00:50:06Curious.
00:50:09Excitable.
00:50:09She was very protective of Kate.
00:50:15When we were at primary school,
00:50:17Kate had, um,
00:50:18punches in her hair,
00:50:20and the boys used to like to pull them to tease her,
00:50:23and Sam was always straight in there,
00:50:25fist flying,
00:50:27fearless if she thought Kate was being hurt.
00:50:28And when Kate died,
00:50:35she was lonely.
00:50:42They were always inseparable as children.
00:50:46I think when Kate passed on,
00:50:50Sam was...
00:50:50and the way she threw herself into
00:50:56university and then her career,
00:51:02the affairs she had.
00:51:06I mean, I'm not a psychologist,
00:51:07but it seems to me that they were all in some way
00:51:09a way to escape the loneliness.
00:51:15Everything she did,
00:51:16everything she devoted her life to
00:51:17was in some way a replacement for Kate.
00:51:20And now they're together again.
00:51:30I believe that.
00:51:34Well, that's some comfort.
00:51:39No, Sergeant Havers,
00:51:40I really don't think there's any comfort
00:51:41to be had here.
00:51:50Constable?
00:51:56It's a nice motor, sir.
00:51:58She's a Bristol, isn't she?
00:51:59Size ten shoe, aren't you?
00:52:01That's right, sir, yeah.
00:52:02How do you know?
00:52:03We have wasted precious resources
00:52:04attempting to identify a bootprint
00:52:05that we thought was a vital part
00:52:07of a murder inquiry
00:52:08until we discovered it belonged to you.
00:52:11Well, I was first on the scene, sir.
00:52:13Barbaris called me.
00:52:15If I stepped on anything, I'm sorry.
00:52:16So you...
00:52:17So you damn well should be.
00:52:20Well, yes, but please be careful
00:52:21over your tone, sir.
00:52:22My tone?
00:52:24I don't look in the mirror every morning
00:52:25and see a failure.
00:52:27I see a man who's worked hard
00:52:29to gain the respect and trust of the community.
00:52:31Now, I realise you would rank me,
00:52:32but I think I'm owed some respect
00:52:34nonetheless, sir.
00:52:38Sergeant?
00:52:40Hello?
00:52:41I'm very sorry if I've caused you any trouble.
00:52:44Lord knows everyone around here
00:52:45is more than keen that you two
00:52:46find out whoever did this
00:52:47to that poor woman.
00:52:50Now, if that's all,
00:52:51I'll get out your road
00:52:52and be on my way.
00:52:54Ron Verger.
00:52:56What can you tell us about him?
00:52:58Ron Verger?
00:52:59That's a while ago.
00:53:01What about him?
00:53:02Well, I understand from Amanda Gibson
00:53:04that he raped Kate Morgan.
00:53:05Well, supposedly he did, yeah.
00:53:07Young Kate, God rest her soul,
00:53:09she went and done that silly thing
00:53:10before we could get her to press charges,
00:53:11I'm afraid.
00:53:12But Ron Verger disappeared anyway.
00:53:14Yeah, he did, yeah.
00:53:15Walked out with his wife, his kid.
00:53:17Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say.
00:53:19Did you question him at the time, Constable?
00:53:21Unofficially, I had a quiet word, ma'am, yeah.
00:53:24I told him to go.
00:53:27Did I do the wrong thing?
00:53:29I'll put it this way.
00:53:30He raped and caused the death
00:53:31of a 15-year-old girl
00:53:32and got away with it.
00:53:34Would you be able to tip your hat
00:53:35to him in the street?
00:53:45That's a terrible story,
00:53:46what happened to Kate.
00:53:48It's no surprise they're all glad
00:53:49to see the back of Ron Verger.
00:53:52And no luck yet, trying to trace him.
00:53:55You know, I think Billy knows more
00:53:56than he's choosing to tell us.
00:54:05Good view of the Priory.
00:54:10When was this taken?
00:54:12A few weeks ago.
00:54:13How old did you know Samantha?
00:54:15How old did you know Samantha?
00:54:16Not that well.
00:54:18What are the lines for?
00:54:20It's the divine proportion.
00:54:21Excuse me?
00:54:23There's a theory that our notion of beauty
00:54:25is all based around the presence
00:54:26of certain shapes.
00:54:28A perfectly beautiful face, for example.
00:54:30You'd have the eyes, mouth, cheekbones,
00:54:34all arranged in sort of patchwork
00:54:36of rectangles.
00:54:37How old is Samantha's score on that?
00:54:41Not bad.
00:54:43Someone knows her stuff.
00:54:45Clearly it isn't me.
00:54:47It's not just faces, though, is it?
00:54:49You've used the same composition
00:54:50in a lot of these.
00:54:52Most people don't spot it.
00:54:54I believe the same maths governs
00:54:57sunflower petals and the like.
00:55:01And fur cones.
00:55:05What do you do as an encore?
00:55:08I investigate murders.
00:55:10And how's that working out for you?
00:55:13Are you sending us photographs, Billy?
00:55:16Now why would I do that?
00:55:18You tell me.
00:55:22When did you last see your father?
00:55:24When I was nine years old,
00:55:25so not recently.
00:55:30And after that it was just you
00:55:31and your mum, yeah?
00:55:33Till the cancer.
00:55:35Now it's just me.
00:55:37She never told you where he went?
00:55:39She never knew.
00:55:41If she did, she never told me.
00:55:43Just took off, apparently.
00:55:47Letters?
00:55:47Birthday cards?
00:55:49No.
00:55:49What about when your mum was ill?
00:55:51Nothing.
00:55:53Where were you on Tuesday night?
00:55:55Here.
00:55:57All night?
00:55:57Yeah.
00:55:58Can you prove that?
00:55:59No.
00:56:00Do you think you're the first cops
00:56:04that have tried to intimidate me?
00:56:07You haven't even told me my dad was a rapist yet.
00:56:10You're not even trying.
00:56:12How do you feel about that?
00:56:13Obviously, I'm incredibly proud of the old man.
00:56:17You just want the truth, Billy.
00:56:19Really?
00:56:19That's not what brought you here, though, is it?
00:56:24Meaning?
00:56:25Meaning someone gets killed
00:56:27and the whole village starts pointing a finger in my direction.
00:56:31What a coincidence.
00:56:33The same kind of coincidence has my dad
00:56:35disappear into thin air a few days
00:56:37after some girl gets raped.
00:56:39Well, if you don't believe that story,
00:56:40then you tell us what happened.
00:56:41No-one wants to know what I think.
00:56:43Mokita.
00:56:46What's that?
00:56:48Look, if you know anything
00:56:49that's relevant to our investigation
00:56:51and you withhold information...
00:56:52It's an obstruction of justice
00:56:54and we wouldn't want to obstruct justice, would we?
00:56:57Do you want to know what I think?
00:56:58I'm on the edge of my seat.
00:57:01I think you're leaving us a little trail of breadcrumbs to follow
00:57:04because you're just not brave enough
00:57:06to tell us what you know.
00:57:08That's very deep.
00:57:09Is it?
00:57:11There's a picture of the murder victim on your wall.
00:57:13You've got the camera set up
00:57:14to photograph the house she used to live in.
00:57:16We've recently received a photograph anonymously
00:57:18with the victim apparently arguing with a man.
00:57:22Then someone breaks into her house,
00:57:25paints a word on the wall,
00:57:26a word that seems to suggest
00:57:28the burglar has some information on this case.
00:57:33I think there's something you're not telling us, Billy.
00:57:35I haven't got the patience for your childish games.
00:57:39Is that the time?
00:57:40I really must be getting home.
00:57:43We'll be talking again.
00:57:44I'm sure you know that.
00:57:49You can't trust us, Billy.
00:58:00What's the rush all of a sudden?
00:58:03Let me show you.
00:58:03Something has been troubling me about this picture
00:58:07since the first time I saw it
00:58:08and I haven't been able to put my finger on what
00:58:10until I saw Billy's photographs in there.
00:58:13It's actually a very cleverly taken photograph
00:58:15because it's in the divine proportion.
00:58:19Okay, you're going to have to take me through this slowly, sir.
00:58:21All right.
00:58:22About 700 years ago,
00:58:24there was an Italian chap named Leonardo Fibonacci.
00:58:26Now, he came up with a sequence of numbers
00:58:28that appears to define perfection in nature.
00:58:32So, um, that's the most pleasing shape to the eye?
00:58:35Exactly.
00:58:36Well, in theory.
00:58:38See, if I draw a line here and make a square,
00:58:41what's left is the same ratio as that with which we started.
00:58:44So, I draw another square there
00:58:45and another
00:58:47and so on and so on.
00:58:49Okay, I get it.
00:58:51So what?
00:58:52Well, then we draw a line
00:58:53connecting the corners of the squares like this
00:58:54until it becomes
00:58:56a spiral.
00:58:57Yeah?
00:58:58And the centre of the spiral
00:58:59is what Billy is trying to lead us to.
00:59:01This, not this,
00:59:02not Samantha and Turner arguing,
00:59:04but this,
00:59:05a fir tree.
00:59:12We need to know what Billy's trying to tell us.
00:59:15Let's go and talk to him again.
00:59:19Come on out there, buddy.
00:59:38Come on out there, buddy.
00:59:38It's punching in my head.
00:59:43And the country happens
00:59:45to glide through my bones.
00:59:47I think you're too late.
00:59:56Yeah, ambulance.
01:00:03I missed that, yeah?
01:00:05This really is a suicide attempt.
01:00:07It's a very public one.
01:00:08I'd like to go with him, sir.
01:00:10When he comes round,
01:00:10he might talk.
01:00:11Let's do it.
01:00:11Dawkins.
01:00:14Good.
01:00:15Come inside.
01:00:16There's a computer I need you to see.
01:00:20You see the thing's passworded?
01:00:23I've got some software back at the office
01:00:24that should be able to bypass it,
01:00:26but...
01:00:27Try Fibonacci.
01:00:30Right.
01:00:31F-I-B-O-N-N-A-C-C-I.
01:00:37No.
01:00:39Makita.
01:00:41Try Makita.
01:00:42M-O-K-I-T-A.
01:00:46Right, bingo.
01:00:47Bingo.
01:00:47There's just photographs
01:00:57by the look of it.
01:00:59Loads up.
01:00:59Go through all of them, will you?
01:01:01What for?
01:01:02Not entirely sure yet,
01:01:03but anything unusual.
01:01:06If you do spot anything,
01:01:07I'll be on my mobile, okay?
01:01:08Okey-doke.
01:01:09So this is what Billy wants us to see.
01:01:17But why?
01:01:18Why this tree?
01:01:20There are no other coniferous trees around.
01:01:23Huh?
01:01:24Yep, so you're right, Paula.
01:01:26So why is it here?
01:01:29Why has it brought us here?
01:01:34A few more of these over here, please.
01:01:37Right outside.
01:01:39You'll notice how the roots
01:01:40have grown up right through him.
01:01:42Why wasn't the body discovered before?
01:01:44There must have been gun dogs
01:01:45running around this area for years.
01:01:46We found a layer of what I think
01:01:48is going to turn out to be ash.
01:01:50Someone built a bonfire over the grave.
01:01:52Ash masks the scent of the body.
01:01:55Hopefully he can be identified
01:01:57from dental records.
01:01:58Can you tell how he died?
01:01:59His neck's broken.
01:02:01By the look of it,
01:02:02he could have been hanged.
01:02:03How long before we can confirm all that?
01:02:05We've got to preserve any evidence
01:02:07that's in the grave around him,
01:02:08so it's going to take us the best part of a day
01:02:10to get him out.
01:02:11After that, depending on pathology,
01:02:12another few hours to confirm ID
01:02:14and cause of death.
01:02:15I've got something you need to see.
01:02:27Welcome back to the land of the living.
01:02:41Wasn't the idea.
01:02:44Billy.
01:02:46They found the body under the tree.
01:02:50Who is it, Billy?
01:02:51Billy.
01:02:51Who is it, Billy?
01:02:57Is it your dad, Billy?
01:03:06The most of it's arty Photoshop stuff.
01:03:08And I was ready to write it all off
01:03:10until I found this folder.
01:03:14That's Samantha in the kitchen.
01:03:17When were they taken?
01:03:22Twelve months past one,
01:03:23two days ago.
01:03:24It's moments before she was shot.
01:03:27Can you answer it?
01:03:29I'll give it a go.
01:03:35I was nine years old.
01:03:39And someone
01:03:40came to the house
01:03:42looking for Dad.
01:03:46He wouldn't let me go with it.
01:03:49He took his coat.
01:03:50He'd been collecting furcones.
01:03:57And I put one in his pocket.
01:04:02And then I followed him
01:04:03into the woods.
01:04:08I was scared.
01:04:13There were voices.
01:04:16People coming near.
01:04:18And I hid.
01:04:22I thought I'd get into trouble.
01:04:29I saw him.
01:04:35Who did you see, Billy?
01:04:41Billy, who did you see?
01:04:45Dad.
01:04:48I saw Dad.
01:04:50There were people.
01:04:52People shouting.
01:04:57She told me not to tell anyone.
01:05:00Who said that?
01:05:01She said,
01:05:01I imagined it.
01:05:03She said that he'd gone away.
01:05:06She said that it was a bad dream.
01:05:09Who said that, Billy?
01:05:12Liz.
01:05:12Liz?
01:05:14Liz Hughes?
01:05:16She said
01:05:17not to tell anyone
01:05:20about the dream.
01:05:25And I haven't said a word
01:05:27till now.
01:05:35Who have you told, Billy?
01:05:36I told you.
01:05:44Samantha.
01:05:49I told Samantha.
01:05:57Yeah.
01:05:57It's from Verger.
01:06:00But Liz Hughes told him
01:06:01to forget all about it.
01:06:02Do you believe him?
01:06:03All right.
01:06:05Then go and talk to Liz Hughes.
01:06:06I know what she really knows.
01:06:08Someone's coming through.
01:06:09I'll call you back.
01:06:16There's someone there.
01:06:20It's the killer.
01:06:22Billy's caught the killer
01:06:23on camera.
01:06:26Must be able to enhance this, Dawkins.
01:06:27It's going to be tricky.
01:06:39Mrs Hughes?
01:06:40Hmm?
01:06:42I've come to talk to you
01:06:42about Billy Verger.
01:06:44Oh.
01:06:44What about him?
01:06:45Well, I'm afraid to say
01:06:46he's taken an overdose.
01:06:50Oh, no.
01:06:52Well, is he...
01:06:53No, he's going to be OK,
01:06:54but I need to ask you
01:06:54a few questions.
01:06:55You see,
01:07:06Billy's been talking
01:07:07about the death
01:07:08of his dad
01:07:08and we found
01:07:10the remains of a body
01:07:11at the Priory.
01:07:11Habers?
01:07:27I'm at the pub.
01:07:28Who's there with you?
01:07:32I want you to get out of there
01:07:33as quickly
01:07:33and as quietly
01:07:34as you can.
01:07:36I don't understand, sir.
01:07:38Well, how did he...
01:07:45He's here.
01:07:51Habers?
01:07:52Hey, Barbara!
01:07:55Call the armed response unit.
01:07:57Get him to the Queen's head
01:07:57as quickly as possible.
01:07:58I hear you've been
01:08:01on the wrong end
01:08:02of one of these
01:08:02quite recently.
01:08:04So you'll know
01:08:05not to do anything silly.
01:08:06Pat?
01:08:07What are you doing?
01:08:10Why don't you go over
01:08:10and join everyone, Liz?
01:08:13Unless anyone need a drink?
01:08:16No?
01:08:18Go on.
01:08:19And you.
01:08:35They know about you.
01:08:38He's a clever man.
01:08:39You're a boss, isn't he?
01:08:43Put the phone down, please.
01:08:44Pat, what's going on?
01:08:53I'm afraid the game's up,
01:08:54ladies and gentlemen.
01:08:56Our old friend, Ron Verger,
01:08:57appears to have risen
01:08:58from the grave,
01:08:59so to speak.
01:09:00And it's over.
01:09:01Well, we'll see about that.
01:09:02No, it's over.
01:09:04What are you going to achieve
01:09:05by locking us up in here?
01:09:06Just doing my job.
01:09:08Your job?
01:09:09Protecting the people
01:09:09of this village.
01:09:10No, Pat.
01:09:11Not anymore.
01:09:13What's this, a mutiny?
01:09:14It's sense.
01:09:15Oh, it's sense, is it?
01:09:17Was it sense to come to me,
01:09:18you two,
01:09:19in the middle of the night
01:09:19demanding justice?
01:09:21Hmm?
01:09:22Now, let's not forget
01:09:23who started this.
01:09:26Should have seen them.
01:09:28The bloodlust they had
01:09:29for Verger
01:09:29for what he did
01:09:30to that little girl.
01:09:33Wasn't much sense
01:09:34getting on that night,
01:09:34was there, eh?
01:09:38Now he hangs his head.
01:09:41They all hang their heads.
01:09:42Look at them.
01:09:44But not the night
01:09:45they all stood by
01:09:46and watched me
01:09:46string him up.
01:09:49So it was you.
01:09:50You killed him.
01:09:51No.
01:09:52We all killed him.
01:09:54I put the noose
01:09:55around his neck.
01:09:56I hauled him up.
01:09:58But they were there.
01:09:59They all complied.
01:10:02And I stand by
01:10:03what we did.
01:10:05There's no way
01:10:06this uniform
01:10:06was going to make
01:10:07a difference
01:10:07to that man's fate.
01:10:08not after what
01:10:11that poor girl
01:10:11did to herself.
01:10:14He'd still be
01:10:15walking around today
01:10:15with how many more
01:10:17ruined lives
01:10:18in his wake.
01:10:19Hmm?
01:10:19You know what?
01:10:28I've heard
01:10:29every argument
01:10:29there is for
01:10:30vigilantism
01:10:31and none of them
01:10:31hold any water.
01:10:33And even if it did,
01:10:34it wouldn't excuse you
01:10:35killing Samantha
01:10:35Wolf, you.
01:10:38Samantha.
01:10:42They don't know.
01:10:44Right little fox
01:10:45in the hen house,
01:10:45aren't you?
01:10:46she'd found out
01:10:48what had happened.
01:10:49Aunt Billy Verger
01:10:50told her.
01:10:52It turned out
01:10:53he'd saw the whole thing.
01:10:55Nine-year-old kid
01:10:56hiding in the bushes
01:10:57watching his dad
01:10:57receive him justice.
01:11:01She knows about Billy,
01:11:03don't you, Liz?
01:11:04She'd feel sorry for him.
01:11:05Nobody should have
01:11:06to see that.
01:11:07He tried to kill himself.
01:11:08Only tried.
01:11:10Shame.
01:11:11You killed Sam?
01:11:14He knew.
01:11:16She was going
01:11:16to go to the police.
01:11:18She was going
01:11:19to tell them.
01:11:20You were going
01:11:21to talk to her.
01:11:22Did I say that?
01:11:23Or did I say
01:11:24I'd take care of it?
01:11:26A grown man
01:11:27come to me
01:11:27to sort out his mess.
01:11:28You killed her.
01:11:29To protect you all.
01:11:30What?
01:11:31From Sam?
01:11:32From my best friend?
01:11:35A woman who spent
01:11:3615 years of her life
01:11:38grieving for her
01:11:39dead sister
01:11:39and you murder her?
01:11:41She wasn't going
01:11:41to listen to reason.
01:11:42Why should she?
01:11:42He'd already tried
01:11:43to talk to her.
01:11:44No matter the time,
01:11:44why should she condone
01:11:45what we did?
01:11:46Why should anyone?
01:11:47We were just teenagers.
01:11:49I've lived with the image
01:11:50of that man
01:11:51hanging there dead
01:11:52for half my life
01:11:53and I regret it
01:11:53every single day
01:11:54but we did it for Kate
01:11:55to finish things
01:11:56not for Samantha to die.
01:11:58Oh, really?
01:11:59So who's all nice
01:12:00and cosy
01:12:00with a bereaved husband, eh?
01:12:01Didn't take you
01:12:01very long, did it, eh?
01:12:02Get your eyes off me.
01:12:04You're as guilty
01:12:05as he did.
01:12:06I told him to talk to her.
01:12:07Persuade her not to say anything.
01:12:08Not this.
01:12:10The footprints.
01:12:10Your footprint
01:12:15contaminated the crime scene
01:12:16but you did it deliberately
01:12:18so that we would
01:12:19eliminate you.
01:12:20Yeah.
01:12:21You're not just
01:12:21a pretty face, are you?
01:12:22That's why you left
01:12:23the body there.
01:12:24Mm-hmm.
01:12:25You knew that the only
01:12:26person to find it
01:12:27would be Bob Harris
01:12:27cos he was poaching
01:12:28the area and
01:12:29you knew that he would
01:12:31find the body
01:12:31and call you first.
01:12:33And I turns out
01:12:34with my big-sized hands.
01:12:35Here come the cavalry.
01:12:51Inspector Lindley.
01:12:52There's a policeman
01:12:53in there,
01:12:53very likely armed
01:12:54and he's taken
01:12:54some hostages
01:12:55including my sergeant.
01:12:57Is he armed?
01:12:58She?
01:12:58No.
01:12:59What's I?
01:13:00Stay in position.
01:13:00That's your way out.
01:13:17I don't think so.
01:13:23Come on.
01:13:24Come on in.
01:13:25Let's pick up.
01:13:26Where are you going?
01:13:28This is over.
01:13:29What the hell are we
01:13:31thinking of?
01:13:31This is over now.
01:13:33Not yet, it's not.
01:13:33Sit down.
01:13:36Do you know
01:13:37what's happening out there?
01:13:38I can imagine.
01:13:39There will be
01:13:40a tactical firearms team
01:13:41preparing to come in here.
01:13:42Not if they're sensible.
01:13:43They're not.
01:13:44You know what
01:13:45you're up against.
01:13:46Trust me, ma'am.
01:13:48They're not taking
01:13:49any of us alive.
01:13:50No, I'd sit down
01:13:51if I were you.
01:13:52No.
01:13:54Serious, Phil.
01:13:56So am I.
01:13:59Get down!
01:14:02Get down!
01:14:15Let me answer it.
01:14:26No!
01:14:29If I answer it,
01:14:30you can negotiate
01:14:31your way out of here.
01:14:32They want me.
01:14:32They come in
01:14:33and they get me
01:14:34and that goes for all of us.
01:14:35I've lost your mind.
01:14:36I'll ignore that!
01:14:37None of us want this!
01:14:38You ought to be careful.
01:14:40What are you worse for, boy?
01:14:41Is it alive?
01:14:42Amanda, put some pressure
01:14:44on the wound.
01:14:44Try and stem the bleeding.
01:14:48Let them go.
01:14:49Keep me.
01:14:50Don't be stupid!
01:14:52I've got to go in.
01:14:53Absolutely not.
01:14:53We have shots fired now.
01:14:54I'm the ranking officer.
01:14:55Once guns are involved,
01:14:56you're not.
01:14:57If anyone goes,
01:14:57it's us.
01:14:59Sergeant Havers.
01:15:01I weren't there
01:15:02the night this happened.
01:15:04I don't know
01:15:04anything about it.
01:15:05You knew about it
01:15:06after, Liz.
01:15:07Billy told you.
01:15:09You were an accessory
01:15:09after the fact.
01:15:10What could I do?
01:15:11This whole village knew.
01:15:14A man disappears
01:15:15in the middle of the night.
01:15:16A man like that.
01:15:18This whole place
01:15:19knew what had happened
01:15:19to him.
01:15:20But no one asked.
01:15:22No one said.
01:15:25And do you know why?
01:15:28Because they were relieved.
01:15:30That man was a disease.
01:15:33He was a blight on this place.
01:15:37Was it my idea
01:15:38to go down this road?
01:15:39Hmm?
01:15:41No.
01:15:44You two
01:15:45would come to me
01:15:46and ask for help.
01:15:47So I helped you.
01:15:50I helped you find justice
01:15:51and protect this community
01:15:53from people like Ron Verger.
01:15:56And when Samantha decided
01:15:57she was too weak
01:15:58to stomach the vengeance
01:15:59taken in her dead sister's name,
01:16:01I protected you again!
01:16:05Constable.
01:16:07Constable!
01:16:07Constable!
01:16:11You have to give yourself up.
01:16:17Oh, really?
01:16:24And are you going to make me,
01:16:25Sergeant Havers?
01:16:28Are you so very brave
01:16:30looking down the barrel
01:16:31of a gun all of a sudden?
01:16:32What?
01:16:34And here's me thinking
01:16:35you were scared half to death.
01:16:36And all the while
01:16:37it's excitement
01:16:39that's making your voice
01:16:40quake like a little girl.
01:16:44I keep quiet if I were you.
01:16:45You might have got lucky before,
01:16:49but trust me,
01:16:49if I shoot you,
01:16:50you won't be lucky twice.
01:16:59This is the gratitude.
01:17:03You want to walk away,
01:17:04you want to hold your hands up
01:17:05and tell them
01:17:06what you did was wrong.
01:17:07Well, it wasn't wrong!
01:17:09And I won't let you do that!
01:17:15We're shoulder to shoulder here.
01:17:24Get in now!
01:17:25Help her!
01:17:26Go, go!
01:17:32Stay down!
01:17:32It's okay.
01:17:36It's okay.
01:17:37It's okay.

01:18:31And we now commence her body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
01:18:59and ensure certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:19:05who will transform our frail bodies, that they may be conformed to his glorious body,
01:19:11who died, was buried, and rose again for us.
01:19:15To him be glory forever. Amen.
01:19:29I'm not sure how such a small village recovers from something like this.
01:19:45Maybe it doesn't.
01:19:50I feel terrible you had to go through all that again.
01:19:53It wasn't your fault, sir.
01:20:01You know, all these months, you never talked to me about the shooting.
01:20:05How you felt about it.
01:20:12You know, you didn't have to throw yourself a garret to prove that you're not afraid.
01:20:16I know you can do the job, Barbara.
01:20:21Yeah, I woke up in the hospital, and I didn't remember it.
01:20:27And then it slowly came back to me, and I realised that it had happened, that I'd actually been shot.
01:20:32And all I could think about was, what if it had been an inch to the left, or an inch higher?
01:20:38Yeah, you were lucky.
01:20:39Yeah.
01:20:40I was.
01:20:44But Samantha wasn't, and, well, I'm here, and she's not.
01:20:52You know, and for a while, I thought, it's been a mistake.
01:20:55I'm not meant to be here.
01:20:56And in the pub, when Garrett put that gun to my face, I thought, this is it.
01:21:07And then I decided, I don't know why, I just thought, I am not going to accept that.
01:21:15I was angry.
01:21:16I was so angry.
01:21:18You certainly were.
01:21:21I was frightened.
01:21:23But, you know, something's shifted.
01:21:27Yeah.
01:21:29You seem different.
01:21:31Do I?
01:21:32Definitely.
01:21:34You seem stronger.
01:21:37Yeah, I am.
01:21:40So have you booked your cruise yet?
01:21:45You know, somehow bingo and ballroom dancing doesn't seem exciting.
01:21:49Well, I'm certainly going to stand in your way if you've decided to be sensible with your money.
01:21:53And if I haven't?
01:21:56You have decided what you're going to spend it on, haven't you?
01:22:03I'll have to wait and see.
