00:00:00It is now two weeks since the school is closed, and it is unpleasened, and they are less optimistic than you are today.
00:01:19Stuart.
00:01:20Well, looks promising, if that's the right word.
00:01:24Adolescent female, dark brown hair.
00:01:26Sarah's been missing, what, two weeks?
00:01:29Yes, tomorrow.
00:01:31The call says she was weighed down.
00:01:33Yeah, swaddled in rubble sacks and wrapped in chains.
00:01:37So why go to all that trouble and then dump her somewhere?
00:01:40She's going to be found.
00:01:41Bad luck, apparently.
00:01:42More levels are at a record low.
00:01:44First mark.
00:01:56We can't be certain, but you should prepare for the worst.
00:02:15Why?
00:02:18Our victim is female.
00:02:21Long, dark brown hair.
00:02:24And there's a birthmark on her neck.
00:02:25Lots of people have a birthmark.
00:02:28It's not proof.
00:02:29It doesn't mean it's her.
00:02:30Darling, please.
00:02:31This came for her yesterday.
00:02:36It's an unconditional offer to read music at Cambridge.
00:02:41Aren't you going to say congratulations?
00:02:46Congratulations.
00:02:46She's in there.
00:02:49She's going to Cambridge.
00:02:52So how can she be that girl in the lake?
00:02:56How can she be?
00:02:57Excuse me.
00:03:09Fingerprints have confirmed it.
00:03:10It is Sarah Middleton.
00:03:11DNA tomorrow.
00:03:14Decomposition's minimal.
00:03:28I'd say she was in the water 48 hours tops and dead for not much longer.
00:03:34There is some evidence of rape, but don't hold your breath for any DNA.
00:03:39The lake rushed away?
00:03:40Yeah.
00:03:40I mean, I've swabbed everywhere, so maybe we'll get lucky.
00:03:45Cleaving aside the sexual abuse, there are two significant anti-mortem injuries.
00:03:50The pink-brown hue of these excoriations suggests they were sustained while she was still alive.
00:03:57Is that the same on this side?
00:03:59My guess is they're from striking out at a door or wall.
00:04:05Trying to get out?
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:06I mean, she's been dead three, maybe four days, which would mean she had been held captive.
00:04:13At least a week.
00:04:15Is that the other injury?
00:04:16Yeah.
00:04:17Again.
00:04:18Times two.
00:04:19And probably the cause of death.
00:04:22I recovered shards of mirror glass from these injuries.
00:04:28There are easy and cleaner ways of killing someone that's slashing their wrists.
00:04:31My hunch is self-inflicted.
00:04:34So it was suicide?
00:04:35No.
00:04:36I mean, this is murder.
00:04:37Two weeks ago, Sarah Middleton went missing on her way home from St. Mary's School, Richmond.
00:04:44In the Church Hall car park on Collier Road, she was seen talking to a woman.
00:04:48This woman had red hair, was 25 to 30 years old, and Sarah was seen pointing out directions
00:04:54to her in an A to Z.
00:04:56We urgently need to contact this individual, as she is almost certainly the last person
00:05:00to see Sarah alive.
00:05:06Okay, right, give me ten minutes, yeah?
00:05:08Sir, this might be nothing, but we've got a girl who didn't come home last night, Kelly Stevens.
00:05:12Where?
00:05:12Royal Hampton.
00:05:13Left her mate's house at 11.50pm, five-minute walk home, never made it.
00:05:16Doesn't sound like nothing.
00:05:18Yeah, but Kelly Stevens isn't violin playing Cambridge material.
00:05:22What's that supposed to mean?
00:05:23Well, she stayed out before, and cautioned for shoplifting, class B, drug abuse.
00:05:27As a detective assigned?
00:05:28No, I don't think anyone's too worried yet.
00:05:30Well, why not?
00:05:31I want in until we know where she is, right?
00:05:33Isn't that a bit previous?
00:05:34Here's hoping.
00:05:39Sarah Middleton has exercised the only choice she had left, to live or to die.
00:05:43But our killer is all about control, so he won't be happy with her decision.
00:05:48He now has some unfinished business.
00:05:50An itch, you can only scratch one way.
00:05:53Taking another girl?
00:05:54Well, we have to be ready for that.
00:05:56But we have to take stock of what we have learned.
00:05:58To keep a person captive for seven days takes space and privacy.
00:06:03The planning and execution suggest an offender upwards of 25 who has graduated from non-fatal sex crimes.
00:06:08So what do we do with this?
00:06:09We tell the public to be careful.
00:06:11We give the media the positive idea on Sarah,
00:06:13and we hope you can use the spotlight to reach our mystery redhead.
00:06:16Since this shoplifting thing, Kelly's been on a curfew.
00:06:25Nine o'clock or else.
00:06:26Last night she left her friend Macy's at 11.50.
00:06:29She would have been, what, three hours over?
00:06:31Yeah.
00:06:32Does Kelly have a computer?
00:06:35Yes, it's upstairs in her bedroom.
00:06:38What kind of welcome would you have expected last night?
00:06:40Well, she didn't get here, did she?
00:06:42So what does it matter?
00:06:43I'm just trying to say from her point of view.
00:06:44I'd have given her hell and grounded her for a month.
00:06:48Perhaps that was the conversation she was trying to avoid.
00:06:51Enjoying her last night of freedom.
00:06:52Yeah.
00:06:55Yeah, I suppose so.
00:06:57Ah, the last time that Kelly stayed out all night, where was she?
00:07:01I-I don't know.
00:07:03A boyfriend, maybe?
00:07:05Yeah, maybe.
00:07:06You didn't press her on it.
00:07:09I'm a single working mother with a bright, impulsive 15-year-old.
00:07:12I choose my battles.
00:07:14Where is Kelly's father?
00:07:16We separated last year.
00:07:19He ran off with the secretary.
00:07:25Anything?
00:07:27Maybe.
00:07:27I'm just unhiding her email folder.
00:07:31Is this like a 15-year-old's bedroom to you?
00:07:33Maybe someone should rest her head.
00:07:38Where does she live her life, eh?
00:07:40Don't know, but someone called Josh might figure in it.
00:07:44My period came this morning, so we can spend the money you weren't saving for nappies
00:07:49on cigarettes and alcohol.
00:07:51Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:07:52When did you last hear from her?
00:07:56Last night.
00:07:57What time?
00:07:59At midnight.
00:08:01She left me a message saying she was coming over because her mum had slung her out.
00:08:05Did you call her back?
00:08:08No.
00:08:09I was DJing.
00:08:10Didn't get her message until this morning.
00:08:12Have you still got it?
00:08:13Josh, it's me.
00:08:21You'd better be in because mum's kicked me out.
00:08:22I've got nowhere else to go.
00:08:25Later.
00:08:26Mrs. Stephens.
00:08:40Kayleigh's got diabetes.
00:08:43You understand what that means?
00:08:46Without her insulin, she...
00:08:47I think we need a private word, Mrs. Stephens.
00:08:50She's our daughter.
00:08:53Whatever you say to me, you can say in front of Tony.
00:08:56Is there anything else you'd like to tell us?
00:08:59Anything about last night at all?
00:09:02Why would there be?
00:09:05What's he on about?
00:09:10Josh, it's me.
00:09:11You'd better be in because mum's kicked me out.
00:09:13I've got nowhere else to go.
00:09:16Later.
00:09:16Three hours late, again.
00:09:24I had to take a stand.
00:09:27You threw her out.
00:09:29I told her it was no phone and no allowance for a month.
00:09:34If she didn't like it, she could leave.
00:09:35At midnight?
00:09:38She called my bluff.
00:09:40How could you do that?
00:09:41Because if I don't show her who's boss, who will?
00:09:44Don't even try to put this on me.
00:09:45That's enough, Mrs. Stephens.
00:09:46Whatever happened is not your wife's fault.
00:09:48I beg to bloody differ.
00:09:50We're trying to do everything we can to get your daughter back.
00:09:53I'm sorry.
00:09:56I'm sorry.
00:09:59God, I'm sorry.
00:10:04Boyfriend Josh's alibi checks out.
00:10:05In the pub till 11, straight onto a club where he was DJing till 4.
00:10:10Good.
00:10:10From home to Josh's, there's one bus room, full CCTV.
00:10:14There she was.
00:10:15We know that Kelly Stephens got off the bus stop there at 12.47 a.m.
00:10:38There are only two possible routes to a boyfriend Josh's flat.
00:10:41Stanley Road and Hawken Villas.
00:10:43I want you to canvas all residents and all businesses in both streets.
00:10:46Did anyone see her getting into a car?
00:10:47Did anyone see her getting into a conversation?
00:10:49Basically, did anyone see Kelly Stephens full stop?
00:10:52If there's no one in, leave a message and make a note so that we can follow it up.
00:10:56Thanks very much.
00:10:57Good luck.
00:10:57Everything about this girl screams run away.
00:11:01Broken home, petty crime, a taste for bad boys with bad habits.
00:11:04What am I missing?
00:11:05I just want to make sure there's no connection, sir.
00:11:08Yep.
00:11:12You've sanctioned her house to house.
00:11:14I was getting to that.
00:11:15Pull it right now.
00:11:16Sir, we have eight officers on loan from traffic.
00:11:19They'll go back tomorrow.
00:11:19Tough. Pull it.
00:11:21I can't. I'm already out there.
00:11:22What? No, don't have radios.
00:11:23Pull it or you're back on leave.
00:11:25Unpaid this time.
00:11:26Sir, I mean it, Tommy.
00:11:28No one treats me like a rubber stamp.
00:11:29Oh, so this isn't because I'm wrong.
00:11:30This is because I didn't ask, is it?
00:11:32No, that did piss me off.
00:11:34But it's more I won't terrify the public.
00:11:35There's a serial killer out there on no evidence whatsoever.
00:11:42The AC wants us to pull the plug on the house to house.
00:11:45Okay, I'll put it out on the radio.
00:11:47Well, you don't sound too disappointed.
00:11:49That's because we've got ourselves a witness.
00:11:55Well, I was about to turn in and I remembered I didn't put my card and paper only bags out.
00:12:00That's when I saw her.
00:12:01The girl in your photo.
00:12:03It's Kelly, right?
00:12:04Yes, it is Kelly.
00:12:06So, where were they exactly?
00:12:07Over there.
00:12:08What, on this side of the road or...?
00:12:09Other side.
00:12:11She was talking to this couple.
00:12:12Hunched over the bonnet of their Range Rover.
00:12:14Did you hear what they were saying at all?
00:12:15No, but they were looking at something.
00:12:18The streetlight really picked out the woman's red hair.
00:12:21Could it have been a map they were looking at?
00:12:22Could have been.
00:12:23I went back in and when I looked out, they'd gone.
00:12:29She could have got the map and the red hair from the appeal.
00:12:32Oh, she was telling the truth and there's a good reason why a red-headed witness isn't coming forward.
00:12:37There's an M.O. It's pretty slick, isn't it?
00:12:39The woman's presence reassures, asking direction, source them to the car, and then the map distracts them.
00:12:52Oh, she was trying to leave us a trail.
00:13:02Oh, my God.
00:13:11It's Kelly's.
00:13:12Winston!
00:13:25All right.
00:13:30How you doing?
00:13:31It's George.
00:13:32George.
00:13:33Of course.
00:13:34George.
00:13:36So, um...
00:13:37No, I'm a groundsman.
00:13:38No need to ask what you're doing here.
00:13:43A missing girl, yeah?
00:13:46Right.
00:13:47You think there's a connection with the girl they fished out of the lake?
00:13:50You keep up with the news, George.
00:13:52So it's possible it's the same killer?
00:13:55It's possible.
00:13:56Or killers...
00:13:57Let me guess.
00:13:58The mystery witness is in on it.
00:14:01Redhead.
00:14:01George?
00:14:04Yeah, because I was saying to my wife, and she was saying there's no way a woman could ever do such a thing like that.
00:14:09Carter!
00:14:10Great to see you, George.
00:14:12Yeah, likewise.
00:14:13Hope you get him, Winston.
00:14:17So, what have we got?
00:14:18We think they'll use her on map to beat the girls, right?
00:14:21M-A-Z, yeah.
00:14:22Asked if police believed Sarah Middleton's killer was behind Kelly Stevens' abduction,
00:14:47D.C. Mkata replied, yes, but we're now looking for killers plural, a man and a woman.
00:14:54Never said that.
00:14:55He then confirmed the unidentified red-haired woman seen talking to Sarah is now a suspect.
00:15:00That is such...
00:15:01You ask me!
00:15:02If you see any of it...
00:15:04Then it doesn't matter, does it?
00:15:11Admit you put Mkata up to this, and I'll go easy on you.
00:15:14It's not Mkata's fault.
00:15:15So you did put him up to it?
00:15:16It is regrettable how this came out, but the red-haired woman and the map link Kelly's
00:15:22disappearance to Sarah Middleton's murder quite...
00:15:23Please don't say conclusively.
00:15:25Quite conclusively, sir.
00:15:27While the discovery of Kelly's shoe and the eyewitness report give us every reason to fear
00:15:32the worst.
00:15:32Now, what business do we have keeping this from the public?
00:15:35Lecturing me is your way out of this.
00:15:37That's your big plan.
00:15:39My way out of this is to use the leak to our advantage.
00:15:41So I want to address the young woman we now believe was present at the abductions of both
00:15:48Sarah Middleton and Kelly Stevens.
00:15:50You know where Kelly is right now.
00:15:53You know how scared and lonely she feels.
00:15:56How much she wants this nightmare to end.
00:15:58What you may not know is that she is diabetic.
00:16:03Without her medication, she is in very real danger.
00:16:07There's only one person who can help her.
00:16:09And that's you.
00:16:10Now, if the man behind these crimes is your boyfriend or your husband, you may feel you
00:16:17owe him loyalty.
00:16:19You don't.
00:16:20He forfeited that when he dragged you into this mess.
00:16:25Instead, I urge you to save this young girl's life.
00:16:28A child's life, no less.
00:16:34Child's life.
00:16:36Nice touch, girl.
00:16:37Well, I think that did the job.
00:16:38Um, what was that job again?
00:16:42In any criminal duo, there is a junior and a senior partner.
00:16:45We are driving a wedge.
00:16:46Turning one against the other.
00:16:48Works a treat with armed robbers.
00:16:50Yeah, but in this case, the junior partner's a woman.
00:16:52We don't even know she's a partner.
00:16:53Do we have any better ideas?
00:16:55Right.
00:16:55Everybody, I know we've primed them, but I want full-up calls to all the Knicks in southwest
00:16:59London.
00:17:00Ditto A&E wards.
00:17:01Any domestics reported since the broadcast, we want to know about.
00:17:04Particularly, obviously, if they involve young, red-headed women.
00:17:05All right?
00:17:07Yeah.
00:17:08It's all right.
00:17:08It's all right.
00:17:15Barbara?
00:17:16Do you actually want the guy to beat the crap out of her?
00:17:19Well, if she comes forward and leads us to Kelly, I'd miss her do.
00:17:22And what if we've just lit a fire under the senior partner?
00:17:25What if all we've done is just endanger Kelly?
00:17:27So what do you suggest, eh?
00:17:28Wait around until she turns up in a bin bag?
00:17:30Sometimes doing nothing is the hardest thing.
00:17:33You sound like a fortune cookie.
00:17:35And you sound like someone who's trying to convince himself that he's doing the right
00:17:38thing and not quite succeeding.
00:17:41Will you check if Lafferty's got any weather fingerprints from the A to Z, please?
00:17:46Right now.
00:17:46Uh, prints galore.
00:17:57Same two over and over.
00:17:59Judging by the size and spacing, I'd say male and female, but...
00:18:03I'll get a couple.
00:18:04Well, if they are, they don't have a record.
00:18:08Anything?
00:18:09Five suspected domestic assaults in the last hour.
00:18:12Three 999s, two walk-ins at St. George's.
00:18:15And redheads in their 20s?
00:18:17Check them anyway.
00:18:18Go for it.
00:18:19Kingston, A&E.
00:18:20Could be our girl.
00:18:23Yep.
00:18:26Yep.
00:18:27A ton of tops of 25 red hair just came into Kingston, A&E, with facial bruising, cracked
00:18:31rib and concussion.
00:18:32It fell down the stairs, Barry.
00:18:34Great.
00:18:35That sounds promising.
00:18:36I haven't finished yet.
00:18:37There's a black ranger over-registered to her husband, Guy.
00:18:40Are you kidding?
00:18:41Well, they're dragging out her x-rays, but they can't...
00:18:43Yeah, I'll be there in time.
00:18:47There she is.
00:18:57Hi.
00:19:00My name's Barbara Havers.
00:19:01I'm a police officer.
00:19:07I told him he fell down the stairs.
00:19:10Hi.
00:19:13My aunt used to fall down the stairs.
00:19:15I'm walking to doors.
00:19:17I'm not your aunt.
00:19:19Good.
00:19:19She ended up in a wheelchair because my uncle beat her with a carjack.
00:19:22You know, given your injuries, I could get a warrant to examine your stairs.
00:19:31And if there's no evidence of a fall, then we could draw our own conclusions and take
00:19:35it from there.
00:19:43It's not his fault.
00:19:45Whose fault?
00:19:48Guy.
00:19:48Is Guy your husband?
00:19:56You've been very understanding.
00:20:01I'm his wife.
00:20:03No, he too understanding.
00:20:09I love him.
00:20:09I love him.
00:20:18Jack.
00:20:31Yeah, we have him.
00:20:34Right.
00:20:39OK.
00:20:39Thank you very much.
00:20:40Doesn't have a record, but he's come to our attention twice.
00:20:47For?
00:20:48In 2000, his girlfriend reported him for trying to throttle her during sex.
00:20:53Three years later, a hotel maid accused him of assault.
00:20:56A good lawyer?
00:20:57What?
00:20:58Girlfriend retracted.
00:20:59The maid did a run-up when the police found out she was here illegally.
00:21:03Sounds like he's due some bad luck.
00:21:06There he is.
00:21:07There he is.
00:21:10Hello, Guy.
00:21:15The mark's on your wrist.
00:21:18I saw them, Tanya.
00:21:20It used to be a bit of fun, you know.
00:21:22But not anymore.
00:21:24Does he do anything else that makes you uncomfortable?
00:21:26Like what?
00:21:27Like anything.
00:21:31Why do you care?
00:21:33I don't you think you're worth caring about?
00:21:36I don't see.
00:21:37Not really.
00:21:41Look.
00:21:42I can help you.
00:21:44I can get you somewhere.
00:21:45Somewhere safe.
00:21:46Go with me, Tanya.
00:21:47He'll find me.
00:21:49He always does.
00:21:50Tanya.
00:21:52Thanks.
00:21:57I'm sorry.
00:21:57I'm sorry.
00:21:58Follow him.
00:22:26Well, at least he's got Kelly and Bill.
00:22:29Something tells me he's smarter than that.
00:22:38Lafferty.
00:22:38Hi.
00:22:40You said I needed something to run against those prints in the A to Z, yeah?
00:22:43Yeah.
00:22:44What do you got?
00:22:45?
00:23:09Bye, bye.
00:23:11Bye.
00:23:12Bye.
00:23:13Bye.
00:23:14Two, please.
00:23:44Let's say you want to open a play centre for kids.
00:23:49Good.
00:23:50Now, if there are no play centres in your area,
00:23:53you might think you've got no competition.
00:23:56Wrong.
00:23:58Any business that vies for family's leisure time
00:24:01is a competitor.
00:24:03That means cinemas, shopping centres, zoos.
00:24:08It means Sunday schools.
00:24:11It means parks and beaches.
00:24:13So what do you do?
00:24:15Well, you have got to become a hunter.
00:24:17You've got to get out there and scoop your enemy.
00:24:21Put yourself in their shoes.
00:24:23Role-play.
00:24:24Why not pay them a visit as a consumer
00:24:27and identify their vulnerability?
00:24:30Everybody's got a weak spot.
00:24:32What's theirs?
00:24:34What's yours?
00:24:36OK, I want to introduce this next topic with a simple demonstration.
00:24:40So I'll need a volunteer.
00:24:42Yes, you, sir, at the back.
00:24:46What's your name?
00:24:57Thomas.
00:24:58Good to know you, Thomas.
00:25:00And all I want you to do is stand there and not move your feet.
00:25:03Can you do that for me?
00:25:05I'll give it a go.
00:25:13You see, I hardly touched him and I'm already causing him problems.
00:25:16You moved your feet.
00:25:17I had to.
00:25:18Exactly.
00:25:19You had to.
00:25:20You adapted to survive.
00:25:21You broke the rules.
00:25:22And now you have the upper hand.
00:25:23Is that what you advocate?
00:25:24Breaking the rules?
00:25:25I advocate independent thought.
00:25:43Letting go of what seems possible and impossible.
00:25:47Thank you very much, Thomas.
00:25:48Give him a round.
00:25:49Well done.
00:25:50I started off as a locksmith, branched into alarm systems, and made millions.
00:25:59I did not confuse flexibility with weakness, and neither should you.
00:26:12Doesn't look like it needs to duck to women.
00:26:15Maybe it spills it if it's given freely.
00:26:17OK, let's just load these up.
00:26:29Bingo.
00:26:36Thanks, Barbara.
00:26:38Tyler Thompson's prints match the prints on the A to Z.
00:26:41So that puts her at the scene of Kelly's abduction?
00:26:43Backstention puts him there, too.
00:26:44But the match is inadmissible, so we can't arrest him.
00:26:46We don't want to arrest him.
00:26:48Best chance of getting Kelly is if he leads us to her.
00:26:50Hmm.
00:26:52Look at him.
00:26:54He's having a drink.
00:26:55Loosening up.
00:26:59He's paying her a visit.
00:27:01Whatever the risk.
00:27:02I think you're right.
00:27:04Come on.
00:27:04Here he comes.
00:27:12Here he comes.
00:27:12Let's go.
00:27:42What's with the bag?
00:28:00Should I check the oil so at least there's a reason we're here?
00:28:03No, I might recognise it from a lecture.
00:28:04Is someone stressed for business?
00:28:14This guy forensically aware of what?
00:28:17What's the camera like on your phone?
00:28:18What's the camera like?
00:28:48What's the camera like on your phone?
00:28:56Lost them.
00:28:57They must have clocked us.
00:29:07Request immediate response from all units in the vicinity of Junction 7.
00:29:10We did an urgent stop and search on a black Range Rover.
00:29:13Registration number YH06 KBF.
00:29:15No warm bodies on the premises.
00:29:33What do you mean the cellar?
00:29:35Got building plans from the council.
00:29:39No cellar.
00:29:40No cellar.
00:29:41No cellar.
00:29:41No cellar.
00:29:42What do you mean the cellar?
00:29:44No cellar.
00:29:45Okay.
00:29:45You should've worn body now.
00:29:46Just a second-
00:30:03Okay, so he's got to get you somewhere else.
00:30:27A visual on B-432 southbound, please advise.
00:30:30Pull him in and breathalyze him. He's been drinking.
00:30:54What's up?
00:30:55He's been drinking coffee, sir.
00:31:05Thomas?
00:31:06Detective Inspector Lindley. This is D.C. Harvey.
00:31:10Can I have a word?
00:31:11Yes, sir.
00:31:12Can you tell me what's going on?
00:31:13He was wearing a boiler suit a minute ago. What did he do? Take it off?
00:31:14Not since I've been with him.
00:31:17Look after him for a minute, will you?
00:31:18Yes, sir.
00:31:19How do you want to play this, Gubb?
00:31:25Pick him up for GVH with his wife, Tanya. Don't make sure anything else. Not a word.
00:31:29Guy Thompson, I'm arresting you on suspicion of grievous bodily harm against your wife, Tanya Thompson.
00:31:36You do not have to say anything about anything. Do say maybe they're used in evidence against you.
00:31:41No boiler suit.
00:31:42You're good.
00:31:43I want every inch of this road searched from here back to the junction, right?
00:31:48Right.
00:31:49I want every inch of this road searched from here back to the junction, right?
00:31:51Right.
00:32:02Listen.
00:32:03I want you to pay a visit to Gates' girlfriend who tried to strangle her in 2000.
00:32:06Kate Myers.
00:32:07Okay. What am I after?
00:32:08Anything and everything.
00:32:09If this is our guy, you just slit Kelly Stevens' throat.
00:32:23The plan wasn't to arrest him.
00:32:25So what happened?
00:32:26He spotted a tail.
00:32:27How?
00:32:28I don't know. He just did.
00:32:29What possible motive has he got to tell us where Kelly is now?
00:32:32Look, if we hadn't stopped him, he could have been on his way to kill Kelly. We had no choice.
00:32:35You didn't answer my question. Why is he going to talk to us?
00:32:37I'm sorry, sir. I can't hold you forever. I'd best get started.
00:32:40I'll be watching. And I'm not asking.
00:32:42Fine.
00:32:43If I were you, I'd let him off with a caution and pray he'd lead you to Kelly.
00:32:46I don't think he'd fall for that, sir.
00:32:58His prints were matched with the fingerprints and the aid set cover.
00:33:01Right.
00:33:02And now we're just talking about his wife's injuries. We don't mention Sarah Middleton or Kelly Stevens.
00:33:06Why not?
00:33:07Because you're just denied. And in the same breath.
00:33:09But what if Kelly's dying right now? You heard what Mum said about the insulin.
00:33:12In the same breath, he'll know how little we know.
00:33:14His prints are on the aid set.
00:33:16But not Sarah's. Not Kelly's.
00:33:18He'll just say someone stole it from his car.
00:33:20I don't have time for this. Kelly doesn't have time for this.
00:33:26No pressure then.
00:33:27Sir.
00:33:28What were you doing at my lecture?
00:33:42I followed you. From your house.
00:33:43And what were you doing at my house?
00:33:44You're part of a kind of unofficial screening process.
00:33:45Really?
00:33:46If someone comes to our attention three times for a similar offense, we come down on them like a ton of bricks.
00:33:49Three times?
00:33:50So one of them is my ex?
00:33:51Right?
00:33:52Guilty conscience?
00:33:53Hardly.
00:33:54That was Kate throwing a strop because I wouldn't marry her.
00:33:55You're part of a kind of unofficial screening process.
00:33:57Really?
00:33:58If someone comes to our attention three times for a similar offense, we come down on them like a ton of bricks.
00:34:09Three times?
00:34:12So one of them is my ex?
00:34:14Right?
00:34:15Guilty conscience?
00:34:16Hardly.
00:34:17That was Kate throwing a strop because I wouldn't marry her.
00:34:26You're not counting that Polish girl in the hotel, are you?
00:34:29We most certainly are.
00:34:31The charges were dropped.
00:34:34In both cases, the charges were dropped.
00:34:38That's why it's unofficial.
00:34:40So let's talk about strike three.
00:34:42Your wife.
00:34:44The reason we're here.
00:34:46Is that it?
00:34:48That's all this is about?
00:34:51Yes.
00:34:53That's all this is about.
00:35:00You could have caused permanent damage.
00:35:07Is she pressing charges?
00:35:10If she is, I'll plead guilty.
00:35:12I deserve whatever's coming.
00:35:15I need help.
00:35:17Anger management, psychotherapy, whatever it takes.
00:35:22Remorse is a positive step, Mr. Thompson.
00:35:26But our most pressing concern is Tanya.
00:35:29Mine too.
00:35:31Excuse me.
00:35:32Is there something we can talk about?
00:35:33Yeah.
00:35:34At first I thought Guy was just a control freak.
00:35:38He had something to say about my clothes, my hair, which friends I saw and when.
00:35:44I went along with it initially.
00:35:58So what happened?
00:35:59What happened?
00:36:00I realised it wasn't about control.
00:36:02No?
00:36:03It was darker.
00:36:04He actually wanted me to resist, to fight back so that he could overcome that resistance.
00:36:10He was a sadist, basically.
00:36:11He once said to me that the most erotic words in the English language were stop and no.
00:36:20You mind me asking about the time he grabbed your throat?
00:36:23You mean the time he strangled me?
00:36:24I blacked out and he panicked.
00:36:25Why didn't you push charges, Kate?
00:36:26Because I was a bloody idiot.
00:36:27Tanya left the hospital before her treatment was complete and she's not your East Sheen address.
00:36:41She's probably at her parents' house in Reading.
00:36:44Can we have that address, please?
00:36:47And the phone number.
00:36:50If she's not there, what about a second property?
00:36:54Sorry?
00:36:55You do have a second property.
00:36:57Yes, I do.
00:36:59But she won't be there.
00:37:01How do you know?
00:37:03Because she doesn't have the keys.
00:37:06Guy's relationship with his parents was really screwed up.
00:37:09He worshipped his father even though he was a womanizer who knocked his wife around.
00:37:16Guy wasn't a mummy's boy.
00:37:18Especially not after she started drinking.
00:37:21Let herself go.
00:37:23Said he couldn't stand being seen with her.
00:37:25And he was how old?
00:37:27Thirteen, maybe fourteen.
00:37:30Anyway, during one particularly nasty row, she dropped the bombshell.
00:37:34But the reason his dad wasn't around much was because he had another woman.
00:37:38And more importantly, another son.
00:37:40Let me guess.
00:37:41It was all mum's fault.
00:37:42I think he beat his mother up.
00:37:44I know she never left the house again.
00:37:47By Christmas, she was dead of liver failure.
00:37:50Thanks a lot.
00:37:51Thanks a lot.
00:37:52Thanks a lot.
00:37:53Thanks a lot.
00:37:55Thanks a lot.
00:37:57Thanks a lot.
00:37:59Thanks a lot.
00:38:00Thanks a lot.
00:38:01Thanks a lot.
00:38:03You you can see person who's going toocool inside.
00:38:06By us she said she told me he walked down from the who's rich and sick.
00:38:09Hello.
00:38:33Can't get to me.
00:38:34Where are you?
00:38:35I'm at home.
00:38:36You're at home.
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38What's the matter?
00:38:39How long have you been there?
00:38:41A couple of hours.
00:38:42Why?
00:38:43The police are looking for you.
00:38:44They said that...
00:38:45Guy, I haven't told them anything.
00:38:50You have to believe me.
00:38:51I know.
00:38:52I know.
00:38:53Everything's gonna be alright.
00:38:56Just as long as you remember your wedding vow.
00:38:59Which one?
00:39:00I stand by my man to the end.
00:39:02Say it.
00:39:03I stand by my man until the end.
00:39:06Good girl.
00:39:07I'll get my lawyer down here.
00:39:10Guy, sweetheart.
00:39:11Listen, I...
00:39:12Kelly takes insulin three times a day.
00:39:29Which means that she has missed, what, four injections?
00:39:32Her blood sugar will be rising, especially if she doesn't have any water.
00:39:35She'll become hyperglycemic and delirious and then she'll lose consciousness.
00:39:40So how long are we talking?
00:39:41Maybe a day.
00:39:42Maybe less.
00:39:43Sir, surveillance from the house.
00:39:45The guy who used his phone call to speak to Tanya.
00:39:47Right, so he now knows that we knew she was at home all this time.
00:39:50The gloves are off.
00:39:51About time.
00:39:52According to the electoral rule, the guy lived in Brighton between 2000 and 2003.
00:39:57Okay, I'll check the local nicks for unsold sexual assaults on young women.
00:40:01Sir, spoke to Guy's ex. Time well spent.
00:40:05Think he can help us get under his skin?
00:40:07I think his father could.
00:40:10Do you recognise this?
00:40:12Do I recognise it?
00:40:13It's a cover of an A to Z.
00:40:15Your A to Z?
00:40:16Says who?
00:40:17Your fingerprints.
00:40:19I did have my neck from the car the other day.
00:40:23Where'd you find it?
00:40:26I'm going to ask you a really stupid question now.
00:40:28It flies in the face of every interview technique in the book,
00:40:31but I'm going to ask you because you're either going to talk to me or you're not.
00:40:34Where's Kelly Stevens?
00:40:36She's the missing school girl, right?
00:40:47Right.
00:40:48Well, I have no idea where she is.
00:40:52Why would I?
00:40:54Is she dying?
00:40:56Is she dead?
00:41:00Sorry.
00:41:01What about Sarah Middleton?
00:41:03I've never heard of her.
00:41:04We pulled her off Shawcross Lake yesterday morning.
00:41:07Wow.
00:41:08You guys must be really desperate.
00:41:11Drunk driving, wife beating, kidnapping and now murder?
00:41:16What's next?
00:41:18High treason?
00:41:19Setting fire to the Royal Dockyard?
00:41:21Sorry, do I actually have to say the words?
00:41:23Charge my client or release him?
00:41:25You can't hold him on unsubstantiated GBH.
00:41:29Where is he missing a few later?
00:41:31Later?
00:41:32When later?
00:41:33We've been here for hours.
00:41:36Kelly's parents are here.
00:41:37They want to know if we're any closer to finding her.
00:41:40We need that boiler so it wasn't taking so long.
00:41:42Well, it's slow going searching 10 miles of road in the dark.
00:41:45That's why I gave you 20 extra men, Ed.
00:41:46Yeah, and they're on their hands and knees.
00:41:47What can I say, Gov?
00:41:48We also need to search one for the Thompson House.
00:41:50I thought we'd established Kelly wasn't near her.
00:41:52We have?
00:41:53Wherever she is, there's got to be some paperwork somewhere and address.
00:41:56All right, I'll get a list of after-hours magistrates.
00:41:59Don't bother.
00:42:00I want Marian Stein.
00:42:01Just make sure there's some fresh coffee from the service station.
00:42:03Don't forget the cream.
00:42:10It was dark.
00:42:12It was really only the girl who was facing me.
00:42:14Just put it your tongue.
00:42:18This means you've got someone, right?
00:42:20Just focus on the pictures, please, Maggie.
00:42:22If I guess wrong, will you have to let him go?
00:42:28That's not really your concern.
00:42:30That's not really your concern.
00:42:31That's not really your concern.
00:42:52Zim.
00:42:53Next time, Marian, you must let us come to you.
00:43:00I'm here, aren't I?
00:43:01Yes, but...
00:43:02Well, thank you.
00:43:03So, let me get this straight.
00:43:05You're after a search warrant under the 1978 Protection of Children Act, yeah?
00:43:10Well, ideally.
00:43:12Ideally doesn't sound good.
00:43:15His fingerprints on the A to Z won't get you in.
00:43:17His pinched from the car's story is as irrefutable as it is unlikely.
00:43:23Plus, it has bugger-all to do with his residence.
00:43:27Well, he has come to our attention before.
00:43:29Not to our judges.
00:43:30Okay, but my priority here is to get Kelly back alive.
00:43:33If we jeopardize the conviction in doing that, so be it.
00:43:39Okay.
00:43:40The wife.
00:43:41What exactly did he do to her?
00:43:43Uh, black eye, cracked ribs.
00:43:45Mm-hmm.
00:43:47Hospital take pictures?
00:43:48Yeah.
00:43:57Well, that crescent-shaped bruise could be useful.
00:44:01Doesn't look like a knuckle.
00:44:03Would you grant a search warrant for a weapon?
00:44:05It'd have to be a restricted search, of course.
00:44:07Of course.
00:44:16Oh.
00:44:17Oh.
00:44:18Daniel Thompson, this is a warrant to search its premises.
00:44:21Newcomb books.
00:44:22I would also request that you contain yourself in one area of the house while the search has been conducted.
00:44:26What are you looking for?
00:44:27What are you looking for?
00:44:28The weapon your husband stores is you.
00:44:29What?
00:44:30Is that it?
00:44:31Yes, that is.
00:44:32That's fine.
00:44:33That's exactly what your husband said.
00:44:34Is that it?
00:44:35Anything else you'd like to share with us?
00:44:36Get off your chest?
00:44:37No.
00:44:38I told you I fell down the stairs.
00:44:39Yeah, and then you changed your mind.
00:44:40Mrs. Thompson, is there any reason why your fingerprints would be on an A to Z recovered from the scene of Kelly Stevens' abduction?
00:44:55I haven't given you any fingerprints.
00:44:57So there's no reason why they'd be there?
00:45:00Oh, wait, we had an A to Z stolen from our car.
00:45:05Did Guy tell you to say that?
00:45:06No.
00:45:07Where is Kelly Stevens?
00:45:10I don't know a Kelly Stevens.
00:45:12Of course not.
00:45:14It's much easier to think of her not as a person, isn't it?
00:45:17But as an animal.
00:45:19Much easier.
00:45:20Flesh and bone.
00:45:22Which is, after all, what you and Guy reduced Sarah Middleton to when you put her in a bin bag.
00:45:25I don't know what he's talking about! Tell him!
00:45:27Where is she?
00:45:28Sir.
00:45:31A word.
00:45:37She's married to a psychopath. You think you're gonna scare her by shouting?
00:45:43I'm not trying to scare her.
00:45:44We need to win her trust.
00:45:46We need to show that we can protect her from Guy.
00:45:48I just had a peek at the PC ten minutes ago she looked up diabetes on the internet.
00:45:52You're kidding.
00:45:53No, if we treat her like a coven spirit, I'm not the victim that she is.
00:45:56Oh, semantics.
00:45:57Not if we wanted to talk to her, it isn't.
00:45:58How do you know she's a victim?
00:46:00Dear Guy, you are my husband and master.
00:46:03I promise I will try harder to be the wife and lover you deserve.
00:46:06I will stop being such an ungrateful slob and do whatever it takes to get back in your good books.
00:46:10You're ever-loving and obedient, Tanya.
00:46:15Come and have a look at this.
00:46:26My guess is they're all places he's installed alarms and security systems.
00:46:30That's why we should be looking for Kelly.
00:46:32Yeah, he can get in, he can get out, he needs his home, he knows his way.
00:46:35Yeah, there's just the cream.
00:46:36His firm must have installed alarms in hundreds of places.
00:46:39When we tailed him, we tailed him down the A3.
00:46:41So if we cross-reference that area with all the alarms he's installed in the last year...
00:46:45I'll get a warrant for his officers.
00:46:58Lafferty?
00:46:59They found a black boiler suit and a hat in a ditch by the B432.
00:47:03Good.
00:47:06Come on, listen. Let's go.
00:47:09Tanya?
00:47:10Now, if the man behind these crimes is your boyfriend or your husband, you may feel you owe him loyalty.
00:47:24You don't.
00:47:25Tanya?
00:47:26Tanya?
00:47:27Tanya?
00:47:28Have a look at this, Tommy.
00:47:32Blood shows up green under UV, yeah?
00:47:46Oh, my God.
00:47:47Oh, my God.
00:47:48His DNA will be all over the lining of this.
00:47:53So, if these are the victim's prints...
00:47:54We're home and dry.
00:47:56If these are the victim's prints, we're home and dry.
00:48:01I'm here to see my son Guy. Where is he?
00:48:04We just need you to sit tight for a minute, Mr. Thompson.
00:48:12Can I get you a cuppa?
00:48:14No, thank you.
00:48:26Oh, my God.
00:48:41Mr. Thompson.
00:48:43Objective inspector, let me.
00:48:46The boiler suit.
00:48:47The A to Z recovered from the abduction site, the Black Range over this all points in one direction.
00:48:52I know asking you to absorb this is asking the impossible, but I have no choice.
00:48:56You really think I'm going to help you fit my son up for something he didn't do?
00:49:05I have absolutely nothing to gain from fitting your son up, but everything to lose.
00:49:13Kelly is diabetic.
00:49:16Wherever she is, no one is coming for her, which means no insulin.
00:49:20Mr. Thompson, if she is still alive, we're talking hours.
00:49:26My son had nothing to do with this.
00:49:37When Guy's mother told him about your other son, you know he didn't just storm out.
00:49:42He beat the living daylights out of her.
00:49:45D.V.
00:49:45You bastard.
00:49:52If you don't want to, I also don't.
00:49:56Dad?
00:49:58This isn't legally and professionally unorthodox.
00:50:01It's outrageous.
00:50:02Dad, this is a mistake.
00:50:05You had no business bringing him into this.
00:50:07It's okay, son.
00:50:08No, it's not.
00:50:09Found the boiler suit, Guy.
00:50:11They're lying, Dad.
00:50:12Why would I even own a boiler suit?
00:50:14So this isn't a picture of you, then?
00:50:22It could be anyone.
00:50:24What, did you take it with a phone?
00:50:25It's you, Guy.
00:50:27We both know it.
00:50:27You're embarrassing yourself, Dad.
00:50:31They're using you.
00:50:32I want to help you.
00:50:35Then stop looking at me like that.
00:50:38Like what?
00:50:39Like you actually believe what they're saying.
00:50:44You look beautiful.
00:50:47Where are your bridesmaids?
00:50:49My cousin Alice died two months before.
00:50:54And we were really close, so...
00:50:56So if she couldn't be your bridesmaid, then no one could?
00:51:01Well, how did she die?
00:51:06She had a seizure.
00:51:10She had them since she was a kid.
00:51:13All the guests, the guy, were the guys' side of the family.
00:51:16And what about your friends?
00:51:19Guy never really liked them.
00:51:21Well, how about your mum and dad?
00:51:24You don't see them anymore.
00:51:27Is there any part of your life that Guy doesn't completely control?
00:51:33I had a job once.
00:51:36At a chemist.
00:51:39The pharmacist trained me up as an assistant.
00:51:46I must think I'm really pathetic.
00:51:50Look, the case is building against Guy.
00:51:52Blood, DNA, the works.
00:51:53He's going to go to prison for a long time.
00:51:56And you will too.
00:51:57And for you, it's going to be ten times harder.
00:51:59Why?
00:52:01Because you're a woman.
00:52:03Stop it.
00:52:04Look, help us.
00:52:12And we can help you.
00:52:15Tanya!
00:52:17You don't understand!
00:52:25Tanya!
00:52:27It's my fault.
00:52:30I showed you a bad example with mum.
00:52:32Mum was a useless piss head.
00:52:33Just why you came home as little as possible.
00:52:35Like I said, some of that's my fault.
00:52:39You have no idea what it was like
00:52:43wearing the same chin-soaked dress day after day.
00:52:47I know.
00:52:49And you were just a kid.
00:52:50She thought if my friends saw me in the street with her,
00:52:53I would die of shame.
00:52:54And I was AWOL all that time.
00:52:58You were with your real family.
00:53:02Well, now I want to make up for that.
00:53:03Where's this girl, son?
00:53:11Tell me where she is, and I swear to God,
00:53:13I'll stick by you whatever happens next.
00:53:15And if I don't...
00:53:24And I walk out of here,
00:53:26and you'll never see me again.
00:53:29I don't want that any more than you do.
00:53:31What is it, Dad?
00:53:43The house I bought you not big enough.
00:53:47The car I gave you for Christmas
00:53:48had too many miles on the clock.
00:53:50What's funny?
00:54:00Do you know, I never actually thought I'd say this.
00:54:03But Mum was right.
00:54:05You are a waste of space.
00:54:07I'm actually glad you weren't around when I was growing up.
00:54:19You taught me to stand on my own two feet.
00:54:20There's the door.
00:54:35Where is she, Tanya?
00:54:39I didn't hurt anyone.
00:54:41Where is she?
00:54:42I just...
00:54:44got them over to the car and...
00:54:47You mean Sarah and Kelly?
00:54:52He said if I didn't help him, he'd lock me up again.
00:54:55Lock you up where?
00:54:57The same place that he's got Kelly?
00:54:59He'll kill me.
00:55:01He'll kill me.
00:55:02But if you tell me where it is,
00:55:04you won't get the chance.
00:55:05Guys, my whole world, I...
00:55:07I can't.
00:55:09Yes, you can.
00:55:11You were almost there before.
00:55:13It's time when he beat you up.
00:55:14You didn't run away and hide.
00:55:16You went to the hospital.
00:55:17You talked to me.
00:55:19Look, you're ready.
00:55:19You made the break.
00:55:21Yes, you are.
00:55:26Tell me I won't have to face him.
00:55:29I swear on my life,
00:55:31he will never touch you again.
00:55:32She's in a house near Red Hill.
00:55:38A Saudi family.
00:55:40Guided the alarms,
00:55:41but they're not moving in until next year.
00:55:57Mind out.
00:56:00Come on.
00:56:02Police!
00:56:05Who's there?
00:56:07Stay on the ground floor.
00:56:12Do this.
00:56:13Get you.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16Nothing.
00:56:17Watch out.
00:56:25Nothing.
00:56:27Nothing.
00:56:28Who's there, sir?
00:56:28It's locked, sir.
00:56:29Get out of here, boys.
00:56:32Yeah, sure.
00:56:40WPC!
00:56:41Yes, ma'am!
00:56:57She's alive, and outwardly, she's OK.
00:57:00Thanks to you, eh?
00:57:02If we treat Tanya right, she'll tell us everything.
00:57:05We don't need to make any concessions.
00:57:06Yeah, and what if she deserves some?
00:57:08We'll talk about this later, Abel, all right?
00:57:16Kelly's all right, well, physically at least.
00:57:21I bring good news.
00:57:23Bloody fingerprints on the boiler suit are Kelly's,
00:57:25and a set we lifted from the collar match for Guy Thompson.
00:57:29Sir Riddleton?
00:57:30We're running DNA.
00:57:32If he brought her here,
00:57:34we'll find trace evidence of some kind.
00:57:36Excellent.
00:57:37Well done.
00:57:38Give me 15 minutes in a windowless room without Frank.
00:57:44There we are.

01:00:04Barbara, come in. This is Derek Tripp from the CPS.
01:00:09Hello.
01:00:10So you're the one who saved the day?
01:00:12Well, actually, it was a team effort.
01:00:14Sorry, sir, where's D.R. Lindley?
01:00:16I've already canvassed him on what we're discussing today.
01:00:19Have a seat.
01:00:28Derek.
01:00:29Regarding the Sarah Middleton murder,
01:00:32forensics are a complete waste of time.
01:00:34But the commissioner has decreed it politically unacceptable for us
01:00:37to drop the Sarah Middleton murder charge.
01:00:40What makes you think I can help?
01:00:43Reading your report, I detected some sympathy with Tanya's situation.
01:00:47That you felt she was genuinely coerced by her husband
01:00:50into partaking in his crimes.
01:00:53Uh...
01:00:54Well, yeah, I did.
01:00:56So you must be uneasy about her being charged with identical offences.
01:01:01Well, for what it's worth...
01:01:03Yeah, I am uneasy.
01:01:04You see her more as a victim than, say, D.I. Lindley does.
01:01:08Look, why don't you just tell me why my opinion is suddenly so important?
01:01:12If Tanya testifies against Guy in return for a reduced charge, accessory say,
01:01:19we don't want her to come back to haunt us.
01:01:21You looked into the eyes of enough liars and killers.
01:01:24Your opinion counts for something.
01:01:26Look, we're not going to make a decision on your say-so alone,
01:01:29but based on your limited dealings, is she deserving of an arrangement?
01:01:34Um...
01:01:36Well, based on our limited dealings, then...
01:01:40Well, I'd say yes, she is.
01:01:42That's all we wanted to know.
01:01:44Can you give us a minute, please, guys?
01:01:47They're reducing Tanya's charge and granting her bail.
01:01:57But then, of course, I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know.
01:02:00Actually, you are.
01:02:02How is the assistant commissioner?
01:02:04Well, I thought you'd be at the meeting.
01:02:06You didn't think to call and check?
01:02:08It's politics.
01:02:09The commissioner wants Guy to face a murder charge.
01:02:11They have no business negotiating with that woman.
01:02:14She says she only lured him to the car, but how do we know that?
01:02:17How do we know she didn't help kill Sarah?
01:02:19How do we know she didn't take part in the sexual assaults?
01:02:20What about innocent until proven guilty?
01:02:22Innocent?
01:02:23The very least she did was trap those girls knowing full well what Guy had planned for them.
01:02:26Wait a minute.
01:02:27He had complete control over her, physically and mentally.
01:02:30You don't understand what that kind of fear and isolation...
01:02:32I don't understand.
01:02:33Why?
01:02:34Is that because I'm a man?
01:02:35Maybe.
01:02:36Oh, well, and because she's a woman, she was a poor, helpless victim with no will of her own.
01:02:38Isn't that just a little bit sexist?
01:02:39He saw what he did to her face.
01:02:40I'm not saying it wasn't abusive.
01:02:41And they've only the tip of the iceberg.
01:02:42I'm saying it's not black and white.
01:02:45Then I'm not saying that she shouldn't go unpunished.
01:02:47She wants us to see it that way and you've fallen for it.
01:02:50Okay, if you have any evidence that she's lying, you can stop the negotiations any time.
01:02:55Now, there's an idea.
01:03:00What?
01:03:01What?
01:03:02What?
01:03:03What?
01:03:04What?
01:03:05Roleplay.
01:03:06Put yourself in their shoes.
01:03:09Get a nose for their vulnerability.
01:03:13Find their weakness.
01:03:15Not exactly how it goes.
01:03:18But I'm thrilled that you took something from it.
01:03:21I did go.
01:03:22I took a lot from it.
01:03:24I found your weakness.
01:03:26We've been talking to your wife.
01:03:31Or rather, your wife's been talking to us.
01:03:33She says that in addition to the abduction of Kelly, you raped and you murdered Sarah Middleton.
01:03:42In fact, she says that you coerced her into both the abductions with threats of violence.
01:03:48How do you think we knew where Kelly was?
01:03:59You went to my offices.
01:04:01We'd never have found her that fast.
01:04:03Deep down, you know that, don't you?
01:04:06Deep down, you know that Tania has betrayed you.
01:04:13For a woman, it seems so dependent, so subservient.
01:04:18What was it she called you?
01:04:19Master?
01:04:20She's thinking for herself now.
01:04:24Well, of herself.
01:04:26Meaning what?
01:04:29Meaning she's planning to testify against you, Guy.
01:04:32She'll do two years' tops.
01:04:34She wouldn't do that.
01:04:39She'll be sharing her bed...their bed.
01:04:41With the pool boy.
01:04:43While you spend the rest of your life in a steel box.
01:04:46Hoping to God the armedç­”vers don't find you.
01:04:50Maybe you should write one of those groveling letters used to make her write you.
01:05:04She's lying!
01:05:09Bitch is lying.
01:05:11You would say that.
01:05:13If you hadn't found Kelly, when you did, Tanya would have killed her, no question.
01:05:17I wanted to let her go, but Tanya wouldn't, because I'd had Kelly.
01:05:25You see, I do actually believe you, but no one else will.
01:05:28You've got to understand, if a woman as much as glanced at me, she went crazy.
01:05:32I mean, she actually went rigid like a wild animal.
01:05:35Like she was going to claw her eyes out.
01:05:38She scared me.
01:05:40So you didn't coerce her at all? Not even statue Kelly?
01:05:43Coerce her? It was her idea to use a gladiator's head!
01:05:47Coerce her?
01:05:55Coerce her?
01:05:55Coerce her?
01:06:09That proved a lot.
01:06:14I thought so.
01:06:14What exactly were you doing in there?
01:06:17I was just making sure that Tanya is the credible witness everyone wants her to be.
01:06:20By asking her abusive husband for a character reference?
01:06:24Do you want him to go down for murder or not?
01:06:26I want them both to go down.
01:06:27Whatever it takes.
01:06:29Don't be ridiculous.
01:06:29Inspector Lindley speaking.
01:06:38DS Mike Barksdale from Brighton.
01:06:40We've got four unsolved rapes.
01:06:42Could fit the bill from when Guy Thompson lived down here.
01:06:45The last one happened right on the sea front.
01:06:47Any DNA?
01:06:48That's what makes us think it's the same bloke.
01:06:50It's like you said.
01:06:52No hair, no prints, not a speck of DNA.
01:06:55Right.
01:06:56I'm on my way.
01:07:04Okay.
01:07:05You're kidding.
01:07:23I tell you, I knew Guy was trouble.
01:07:41I did.
01:07:43But Tanya always wanted the good life.
01:07:44That's called a hindsight.
01:07:49Why did she have to go and live in London?
01:07:51London wasn't a problem.
01:07:54She met Guy in Brighton, for God's sake.
01:07:58I mean, why did she have to leave home?
01:08:01Why did she have to?
01:08:03Grow up.
01:08:05Hi, Barbara.
01:08:06Come through.
01:08:14Dad's a brick, but Mum's gone to pieces.
01:08:18Oh, there's still a lot to deal with.
01:08:22She said this morning it was as if she'd lost me.
01:08:26It was no different to Anna's dying.
01:08:30That really hurt.
01:08:31Yeah, but you're here.
01:08:32They haven't turned their back on you.
01:08:33I should be grateful for that.
01:08:36Well, I wasn't saying that.
01:08:40You know.
01:08:41You're right.
01:08:43Some parents would have.
01:08:45Look, um, I just want to go through a few things in your statement about Sarah Middleton.
01:08:50Just so that when I question Guy, there'll be no grey areas.
01:08:57You're going to see Guy?
01:08:58Yeah, at some point.
01:09:01Alone?
01:09:03Uh, probably not.
01:09:05But you said when I question Guy.
01:09:10What is it, Tanya?
01:09:12Well, it's just I'd feel a lot more comfortable about it if there was a male officer present.
01:09:16I can take care of myself.
01:09:19Oh, that's...
01:09:20not what I mean.
01:09:26Guy can be very...
01:09:28hard...
01:09:30to resist.
01:09:30I would hate for anything to come between us, Barbara.
01:09:36What exactly are you suggesting?
01:09:38Come on.
01:09:39He's still my husband.
01:09:41I'm allowed to be possessive, aren't I?
01:09:45Sure.
01:09:45You think that's weird, don't you?
01:09:50I think what's weird is that since I've been here, you haven't asked once how Kelly Stephens
01:09:55is doing.
01:09:56Oh, you told me she was okay.
01:09:58What?
01:10:03Yeah, no, that's right, I did.
01:10:07Shall we go through all my sleep in now?
01:10:09No, I think that can wait.
01:10:11I'll get back to you.
01:10:21Ah, thanks for the tea.
01:10:22Is that Tanya's cousin?
01:10:27Tanya told me about Alice.
01:10:30Her name was Alice.
01:10:32And whose side was she on?
01:10:33Mine.
01:10:35My sister had Alice young.
01:10:37This was her home from home.
01:10:38She died right there in my arms.
01:10:42A seizure?
01:10:43It wouldn't have happened.
01:10:49She wasn't used to alcohol.
01:10:52We were celebrating Guy's birthday.
01:11:01Um, I think that I'll see myself at her.
01:11:03That's mine.
01:11:08There she is.
01:11:12There it is.
01:11:13roba is on this side.
01:11:15roba is on this side.
01:11:22Where is the target?
01:11:24Here.
01:11:24Barbara, I need to know the exact date the guy and Tanya got together.
01:11:40Why?
01:11:41Well, there were four unsolved rapes in Brighton during the time the guy lived here.
01:11:44The important one being the last, where the victim claimed there were two people involved, a man and a woman.
01:11:48Instead, the woman videoed the whole thing.
01:11:50Right here.
01:11:52Right under the pier.
01:11:54I'm not saying it was Tanya.
01:11:56No, you don't have to persuade me.
01:12:01Good.
01:12:13Sir, the other day you put me in the spot and asked me if I thought that Tanya was a credible witness.
01:12:17Well, to answer that question, we have to dig out the body of her cousin Alice.
01:12:21Based on?
01:12:22Based on the fact that she was beautiful, 16 and died whilst under the same roof as Guy Thompson.
01:12:27You said she died at Tanya's parents' house?
01:12:29Yeah, but they'd thrown a birthday party for Guy and Alice was invited.
01:12:33The parents went to bed.
01:12:34Guy, Tanya and Alice all stayed up.
01:12:37According to who?
01:12:37Their statements at the inquest.
01:12:39Two hours later, Alice is unconscious and Guy is calling for an ambulance.
01:12:42I've read the PM report.
01:12:43It's sketchy, to say the least.
01:12:45No one even checked for sexual assault.
01:12:49Epileptic seizure was a best guess cause of death.
01:12:52This lesion of her mouth was put down to an unsuccessful resuscitation attempt.
01:13:00What does it look like to you?
01:13:02Her skin reacting to something.
01:13:04If the body's reasonably well preserved, toxicology may be able to tell us what.
01:13:08Sir, you want an exhumation order?
01:13:10Well, if anyone can twist the coroner's arm, it's you.
01:13:15Why would I need to twist his arm?
01:13:17We want a circumvent family approval.
01:13:19Tanya can't know what we're doing till we're good and ready, sir.
01:13:27First impressions are she's pretty well preserved.
01:13:29If I get tox samples in by noon, we should have some results by this evening.
01:13:34I'll let you know as soon as.
01:13:35Thanks, Lecatee.
01:13:35Third anniversary, first meeting, six-month wedding anniversary, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day.
01:13:45Is there anything they didn't deem video-worthy?
01:13:49That's it.
01:13:51That's what we're missing.
01:13:58Lafferty?
01:13:59Hold on a minute.
01:14:01Okay, go ahead.
01:14:02Anything?
01:14:03You bet.
01:14:03Samples from the remnants of Alice's lungs and throat tested positive for antidepressants and pethidine.
01:14:10What's that?
01:14:11A tranquilizer.
01:14:12Tricky to get a hold of if you're not a doctor.
01:14:14Or a pharmacist.
01:14:15She worked in a chemist.
01:14:15Well, then she's lifted them from the supplies cabinet, hasn't she?
01:14:18Her own cousin.
01:14:19That birthday present for Guy.
01:14:20The combination of antidepressants and pethidine, plus the fact that she'd been drinking,
01:14:24I mean, even if they didn't plan to kill her, they were playing with fire.
01:14:29Thanks, Jim.
01:14:32You could do this over the phone, you know.
01:14:35No.
01:14:36Face to face is more likely to believe we're friends again.
01:14:38I didn't mean to be judgmental about you not asking after Kelly.
01:15:04No, I should have.
01:15:06No, you had a lot on your mind.
01:15:09Nothing like what she's going through.
01:15:12Listen, Tanya, I shouldn't really be telling you this, but I want you to be prepared.
01:15:17For what?
01:15:19Well, Guy has started to talk, and I know that you still have feelings for him, and I understand.
01:15:25What?
01:15:27What's Guy been saying?
01:15:28Well, he's saying...
01:15:30He's saying that you were as involved as him, and that there's tapes to prove it.
01:15:36What?
01:15:37Well, exactly.
01:15:38I mean, no-one believes him, but you might be questioned on it at some point.
01:15:42Okay.
01:15:43Well, thanks for letting me know.
01:15:45No problem.
01:15:46Look, I've got to get back.
01:15:47I'll come and see you soon, yeah?
01:15:49I'd like that.
01:15:51You're a good person, Barbara.
01:15:52I'm a really good person.
01:16:02There.
01:16:02There.
01:16:22There she goes.
01:16:39I'm a really good person.
01:16:41I'm a really good person.
01:16:42I'm a really good person.
01:16:43I'm a really good person.
01:16:44I'm a really good person.
01:16:45I'm a really good person.
01:16:46I'm a really good person.
01:16:47I'm a really good person.
01:16:48I'm a really good person.
01:16:49I'm a really good person.
01:16:50I'm a really good person.
01:16:51I'm a really good person.
01:16:52I'm a really good person.
01:16:53I'm a really good person.
01:16:54I'm a really good person.
01:16:55I'm a really good person.
01:16:56I'm a really good person.
01:16:57I'm a really good person.
01:16:58I'm a really good person.
01:16:59I'm a really good person.
01:17:00I'm a really good person.
01:17:01I'm a really good person.
01:17:02I'm a really good person.
01:17:03I'm a really good person.
01:17:04I don't know.
01:17:34I don't know.
01:18:04I don't know.
01:18:34Thank you for bringing those to our attention.
01:18:46I don't know.
01:18:48Get off me!
01:18:50Sarah, Kelly, Alice.
01:18:56Your cousin.
01:18:58Alice was an accident.
01:19:02Sarah killed herself.
01:19:06And Kelly's making her full recovery.
01:19:08So what exactly do you think you've got on us, huh?
01:19:10Happy birthday to you.
01:19:32Happy birthday to you.
01:19:34Happy birthday to you.
01:19:40Happy birthday, Mr. Thompson.
01:19:46Happy birthday to you.
01:19:54Tony, you are depraved.
01:19:58I love you for it.
01:20:02Love you too.
01:20:04Birthday boy.
01:20:06I don't know.
01:20:08This stuff knocks horses out.
01:20:10Alice is gonna be among the land for quite a while.
01:20:14I know we have to watch this stuff sometime, but...
01:20:24Yeah.
01:20:26Not now.
01:20:28She really played me.
01:20:32If you haven't got so close to her, we'd never have found Kelly.
01:20:48It was all part of her plan, though.
01:20:50Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
01:20:52You saved a life, Barbara.
01:20:56Anyway, they're both going down now.
01:20:58For good.
01:21:00All right, sir.
01:21:02Just don't say I told you so.
01:21:18I didn't go to the beginning.
01:21:20But you know what, when you're on the back, you can leave.
01:21:22Yeah, we're good to have some courage.
01:21:24We gave you good luck on a lot of life.
01:21:26I know you got a Din Betsy P ì‹¶, so baby, make sure you eat a little bit.
01:21:29Oh, and I'm like, I was about to have a user.
01:21:30I'm probably out of you 27th.
01:21:32You only Wonder Woman.
01:21:34I'm so happy about being told.
01:21:36I'm so happy.
01:21:38They're not lucky to leave you well.
01:21:40See ya?
01:21:41Yeah, I'm like oh...
01:21:44I am some details.
01:21:46You're not lucky enough.
01:21:47I am onboarding protocols to leave with you seriously
