00:00:00Can you see me? Are we starting?
00:00:03Your camera's off. I'm just letting people in as they arrive.
00:00:08Any chance of actually starting this thing on time?
00:00:11Yeah, it's only just quarter to you, Moira.
00:00:13I can't see you.
00:00:15Hi there.
00:00:16Hi Moira.
00:00:17I said I can't see you.
00:00:19Oh, really?
00:00:20Um, not you, Estelle.
00:00:23Hi. Yes, I just need to...
00:00:28Hi.
00:00:29Hello.
00:00:30Okay.
00:00:31Welcome everyone to this slightly unusual meeting of Causton Grammar Parent Teacher Association.
00:00:38Due to the unfortunate way things ended last time, the decision was taken to move online.
00:00:45My hope is that we can communicate more constructively this time.
00:00:51Constructive criticism surely involves listening, not cancelling events unilaterally with no consultation, no real evidence.
00:01:00The issue which you're referring to is on the agenda, Moira. Thank you.
00:01:05But first I'm going to hand over to our Deputy Head, Mr Crawford, for some housekeeping.
00:01:10Uh, hi then, everyone. My connection's a bit dodgy, but hopefully we're going to be okay.
00:01:15So the minutes from our last meeting have been reviewed, and um, well...
00:01:19Oh yeah, whatever. Get on with it.
00:01:21Sorry. Really sorry.
00:01:23No, no. I'm not sitting through all of this. We need to talk about Holly.
00:01:27Well, we've got a meeting that's in the diary next week to discuss Holly.
00:01:30Every day she's excluded is another day she's missing her education. All her training for the athletic trials, it's just not fair.
00:01:37It's not lawful.
00:01:38I understand you're upset, but this isn't the appropriate forum.
00:01:42Appropriate forum? Waste of time!
00:01:50Um, perhaps we should move on to item one on the agenda. Um, cancellation of PTA fundraising event, a Q&A with Piers Mayhew.
00:01:59Any thoughts?
00:02:01Oh, here we go. Do we have to?
00:02:03Well, if you could please keep yourself on mute, unless you have something constructive.
00:02:07I'm sure you would love to mute me, Mr Crawford, but as Chairwoman of the PTA, I am entitled to have my say.
00:02:14Go for it, Moira.
00:02:15Counselling an event at such short notice is an insult to the work of this committee.
00:02:22Do you have any idea how difficult it is to secure a speaker like Piers Mayhew?
00:02:28He is your brother.
00:02:31Meaning?
00:02:32Was it that difficult to book him?
00:02:34He is the region's best-selling children's author.
00:02:37Given his recent outbursts on social media, I simply don't see how we can go ahead.
00:02:43Well, that's not what you were saying until Kara got involved. Where is she, anyway?
00:02:47She's off sick.
00:02:48She'll be in tomorrow.
00:02:49How convenient.
00:02:50I cannot allow you to keep derailing these meetings, Moira. If this continues, you will be ejected from this call.
00:02:58Derailing? I stayed on as PTA head as an act of goodwill because nobody else would do it.
00:03:04And we appreciate it. Item two of the agenda. Second-hand uniform sale.
00:03:11And as a PTA head, I am entitled to call an emergency meeting. It says so in the Constitution.
00:03:17Second-hand uniform sale.
00:03:19Have you read the PTA rules because they ve-
00:03:23Okay. I have muted you, Moira. I'm so sorry. There can be no further-
00:03:28Go on, I'm gonna-
00:03:36Happy?
00:03:37Yeah. Looks brilliant.
00:03:39Mmm, that smells incredible.
00:03:41We've got butter chicken, lamb skewers and dog.
00:03:44Oh. Oh, and you think you're getting some, do you? Well, you're out of luck because nobody wants to deal with the aftermath of that.
00:03:50We're just setting Paddy up to take the blame for you.
00:03:53That's an outrageous accusation. I don't know what you're talking about.
00:03:56See? He is home on time.
00:03:58What's that?
00:03:59Mum said you're unreliable.
00:04:01Hold on. I didn't say Dad was unreliable. I said sometimes his job, me-
00:04:09Winter?
00:04:11Ryan?
00:04:15Okay. I'll see you there.
00:04:17You're kidding.
00:04:19Dad. If I ever get married, it will not be to a policeman.
00:04:26used to go back to the border, but it's just my husband.
00:04:28What?
00:04:30What's that?
00:04:31What's that?
00:04:33Then, even at what's inside it?
00:04:34I'll see you there.
00:04:38I'll see you there.
00:04:40Beth, shins, everything.
00:04:43What's inside?
00:04:44Is that right?
00:04:45David?
00:04:46What's inside?
00:04:47Estelle Hallis, 52, head teacher. She was running a PTA meeting online when she was killed.
00:04:53She was killed on camera?
00:04:55In front of a dozen people. No one saw anything though. The killer must have stayed low and out of shot.
00:05:05That looks like a javelin.
00:05:08It is. The angle suggests it was an upward stabbing motion from lowdown.
00:05:17You won't need my help with time of death. It's on camera at 5.48 precisely.
00:05:25After school clubs finish at 5pm and then the school's locked and only the staff have the code.
00:05:30Next, have Kim been notified?
00:05:32Yeah, we're trying. There's a husband, Blake Anderson. He runs the bike shop in town but he's not picking up his phone.
00:05:39And then there's a daughter, Cara. She's an art teacher here but also uncontactable. Apparently she's off sick today.
00:05:46I assume curry nights cancel?
00:05:48No, no. Please go. They've gone to so much effort. You could get them to save some for me. Lamb skewers or something.
00:05:54Lamb... skewers?
00:05:57Or maybe just a naan.
00:06:00The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:06:03The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:06:18This must have been planned. They knew you should be on that call and you should be wearing headphones and wouldn't hear them coming.
00:06:25And there's something else.
00:06:33This classroom belongs to the victim's daughter, Cara. It's an interesting message, right?
00:06:41Always behind you.
00:06:43Not fully dry. This is recent. Who was first on the scene?
00:06:56Tim Crawford, deputy head.
00:06:58DCI Barnaby. Were you on the video call?
00:07:01I did it from my classroom just down the corridor.
00:07:03Did you see anybody?
00:07:04No. I ran over straight away but by the time I got...
00:07:10I'm sorry. Is there somewhere we can talk?
00:07:12Uh, the staff room's just here.
00:07:15Oh, uh, sorry, uh, end of year prank, I guess.
00:07:19Is this graffiti new?
00:07:26What's that?
00:07:27Oh, yes, uh, Hillary.
00:07:31Yeah, yeah, the kids love it when they find out my middle name.
00:07:35What kind of head teacher was Estelle?
00:07:37Well, she's ambitious, which is not a bad thing, but...
00:07:40I'll put it this way, she expelled more pupils in two years than the last head did in 12.
00:07:44Anyone recently?
00:07:46Holly Randall, last week.
00:07:48Her parents are appealing it.
00:07:50There was a Paul and Josephine Randall on the video call list she gave me.
00:07:53Yeah, that's them.
00:07:54Um, Paul, he stormed out at the beginning, but Josie, she was on for the whole call.
00:07:58How far away do they live?
00:07:59About just over the road.
00:08:01What was Holly expelled for?
00:08:03Um, she...
00:08:04Tim!
00:08:05You okay?
00:08:06Yeah, yeah, um, where are the girls?
00:08:08Oh, they're in the car. We were at their ballet lesson.
00:08:11Oh, sorry. I'm Felicity, I'm the school receptionist.
00:08:15Um, they were just asking about Holly Randall.
00:08:17Well, surely no-one's blaming her for this.
00:08:19I mean, well, she's made some silly mistakes, but...
00:08:22What kind of mistakes?
00:08:23She stole a brand new tablet from the ICT class, then sold it online.
00:08:27She was trying to get money to go on the year 12 residential, which is way too expensive now.
00:08:31Yeah, well, we can't use that place in the Lake District anymore, can we?
00:08:34Health and safety nightmare.
00:08:36Have you told them about the situation with Piers?
00:08:39Piers? No.
00:08:41Uh, Piers Mayhew. Um, he's the brother of our PTA chairwoman, Moira.
00:08:46He was meant to do a fundraiser for us, but...
00:08:49Well, he...
00:08:51He got a bit provocative on social media.
00:08:54He's a misogynist. And a troll.
00:08:57Unfortunately for him, one of the women he targeted was Estelle's daughter, Cara.
00:09:01She persuaded her mother to cancel his event, and he wasn't very happy about it.
00:09:05Neither was Moira. She threw a chair at them when she found out last Friday.
00:09:08That's why we moved a meeting online today.
00:09:10Have you managed to contact Cara?
00:09:12I've left messages.
00:09:13She was on a yoga retreat in Snowdonia over the weekend.
00:09:17Um, she did text Estelle to say that she was sick, so...
00:09:20She might not have travelled back yet.
00:09:22She was going on about some kind of digital detox.
00:09:26Very into that sort of thing.
00:09:28Thank you. We'll be in touch about opening the school tomorrow.
00:09:31Certain areas, obviously, will remain off-limits.
00:09:34Yep. Yep, of course.
00:09:37Um, DCI Barnaby?
00:09:40I don't know if this is important, but, um, when I was leaving today,
00:09:44Moira's grandson, Dominic, was hanging around outside Estelle's office.
00:09:48Well, he was giving a talk to the sixth form about starting university.
00:09:51Well, yes, but that was finished by 3.30, though. I saw him at 4.
00:09:55Look, I don't want to cause any problems.
00:09:57He's a great kid, but, um, it's just he looked pretty upset.
00:10:04What do you mean he was upset?
00:10:06Well, I think we said.
00:10:08We were preparing to do the first thing.
00:10:09All right.
00:10:10Never mind me.
00:10:10No, right.
00:10:11Yeah, yeah.
00:10:11I think we were waiting for the second thing.
00:10:13Come...
00:10:14Oh, man, he's got him.
00:10:15I think we were at the next stage.
00:10:16Oh.
00:10:17Oh, my God.
00:10:18Oh, yeah.
00:10:19You're not supposed to do that.
00:10:21Oh, my God.
00:10:22Oh, my God.
00:10:23Oh, my God.
00:10:24Oh, my God!
00:10:25Oh, my God!
00:10:26Oh, my God.
00:10:27Oh, my God.
00:10:28Oh, my God.
00:10:29Oh, my God.
00:10:30Oh, my God.
00:10:31Oh, my God.
00:10:33Oh, my God.
00:10:34Yeah, my God.
00:10:35We used to live next door
00:10:41And when my daughter died
00:10:42When I was going through all the guardianship stuff for Dominic
00:10:45She held me together
00:10:47This must be very difficult
00:10:49I was shouting at her when it happened
00:10:51About stupid things
00:10:53Things that don't even matter
00:10:55Go ahead
00:10:55It's okay
00:10:56We heard about an incident in a meeting last Friday
00:10:59With the chair
00:11:01Who told you that?
00:11:04But I'd had enough
00:11:05That's all
00:11:06Karen had a book quantificating
00:11:08The chair was in my way so I moved it
00:11:11A bit too hard
00:11:13Sorry
00:11:16I don't see how all this is relevant
00:11:20I mean surely you're not accusing me
00:11:22I was on the video call
00:11:24You visited the school earlier
00:11:26Is that right?
00:11:27I did a talk
00:11:28Yeah
00:11:28I had to succeed at university
00:11:30Dominic was head boy
00:11:32He's now on a very competitive course
00:11:34Did you see Estelle Hallis?
00:11:37No
00:11:38Are you sure?
00:11:39A witness saw you outside her office at around 4pm
00:11:42Gran wanted me to nag her about this book event with Pierce
00:11:45I knocked
00:11:46And she didn't answer
00:11:48So I left
00:11:49The witness said that you looked upset
00:11:50I wasn't
00:11:51I thought you weren't in until tomorrow
00:11:59I thought you weren't in
00:12:01Have you seen it out there?
00:12:04There's like 20 police cars at the school
00:12:06These gentlemen are the police
00:12:08Oh
00:12:09Right
00:12:10Ruth Chapman
00:12:11She's the dusty old book
00:12:13Some of the fabulous textiles
00:12:14Estelle Hallis has been murdered
00:12:16What?
00:12:18Seriously?
00:12:19Seriously
00:12:19Stabbed to death with a javelin
00:12:21That's not how you tell people
00:12:23That's how you told me
00:12:24Does Cara know?
00:12:25We're trying to get a hold of her
00:12:26Yeah she's not been picking up all weekend
00:12:28She's my housemate
00:12:29We were told she's on a yoga retreat in Wales
00:12:31Yeah but she should be back
00:12:33This is going to destroy her
00:12:36They were really close
00:12:38I'm sorry
00:12:40Do you mind?
00:12:43Did Estelle ever talk about her marriage?
00:12:46She seemed happy enough
00:12:49You don't like Blake?
00:12:50Don't trust him
00:12:51I don't know
00:12:52There's just
00:12:53Something
00:12:54Collie says he's alright
00:12:55My girlfriend
00:12:57She works a Saturday job at his bike shop
00:12:59Is that Holly Randall?
00:13:02Yeah
00:13:02So she works with Estelle's husband
00:13:04Okay
00:13:06Well I've left my number
00:13:08Do call if Cara gets in touch
00:13:16It's unusual
00:13:22It's all my own work
00:13:25We run knitting sessions on Thursdays
00:13:27Everyone's welcome
00:13:27No my
00:13:28My grand taught me to nail the school holidays
00:13:30But I couldn't do it now
00:13:32Well
00:13:32You never lose it
00:13:34It's like riding a big woolly bike
00:13:35Thanks
00:13:38Please don't be shy Winter
00:13:46I'd love a nice scarf
00:13:47Yeah hello
00:13:49Okay tell him to stay put

00:13:54Thanks
00:13:55Who is that?
00:13:58They've located Estelle's husband
00:14:00At the bike shop
00:14:01You go over there and see what you make of him
00:14:02While I talk to the girl who was expelled
00:14:04Water
00:14:04Only um
00:14:06Try not to needle him
00:14:08What?
00:14:10You see
00:14:11You've got to unravel the whole case
00:14:12Before you can knit it back together
00:14:14But don't let him pull the wool over your eyes
00:14:20Lunch boxes on the table
00:14:29And PE kits in the wash please
00:14:31Please
00:14:32Lucy seemed freaked out by all the police
00:14:37Wasn't sure what to say
00:14:38Oh come on
00:14:42Again?
00:14:44You promised that you would check next time
00:14:47Before donating things
00:14:48That much stuff from the attic?
00:14:50Your older wards from school
00:14:51Are you still going on about that?
00:14:53A tidy house helps me cope
00:14:55What's this?
00:14:58And these?
00:15:00You know what they are
00:15:02What are you doing?
00:15:03What are you doing?
00:15:16He said he waited
00:15:17You didn't turn up
00:15:18There was a bit of a problem
00:15:19I didn't want to worry you about it
00:15:21What sort of problem?
00:15:26Rhys?

00:18:40someone told her form teacher
00:18:42Cara Hallis
00:18:43we thought she'd helped sort it out
00:18:45but Cara told Estelle
00:18:46that was it
00:18:47no discussion
00:18:48just out
00:18:49for a kid who's never been
00:18:51any trouble before
00:18:52I mean we know what it's really about
00:18:54Holly's very sporty
00:18:56she was training
00:18:57for the school's
00:18:58national championships
00:18:59but she's not
00:19:00academic
00:19:01as such
00:19:02I'm really thick
00:19:04ah
00:19:04that's not
00:19:06what she's saying
00:19:07it's just
00:19:08Estelle
00:19:09was precious
00:19:11about those exam results
00:19:12so the decision was taken
00:19:14by the headmistress
00:19:14I don't know why
00:19:15Miss Hallis even thought
00:19:16she could tell her
00:19:17I thought she was alright
00:19:19but she was so fake
00:19:21I forgot you Holly
00:19:23I'm always behind you
00:19:25always behind you
00:19:28are you sure you haven't been
00:19:32to the school today?
00:19:35yeah
00:19:35because there's graffiti
00:19:37on the wall
00:19:38of Cara Hallis's
00:19:39art room
00:19:40with that exact phrase
00:19:42not in green paint
00:19:43yes
00:19:45you were washing green paint
00:19:47off your hands
00:19:47when you got home
00:19:48she told me it was
00:19:49off a fence in the park
00:19:50it was just a joke
00:19:51I was there
00:19:54okay
00:19:55but I didn't touch
00:19:57Estelle Hallis
00:19:58ask Dominic
00:20:00Dominic was with you
00:20:02at the school?
00:20:03I went to see him
00:20:04after his talk
00:20:05we were messing around
00:20:07in the staff room
00:20:08but then we heard
00:20:09the police cars turn up
00:20:11we made it out
00:20:12across the fields
00:20:12so
00:20:17let's see
00:20:19I went to see him
00:20:21I went to see him
00:20:22just
00:20:23and
00:20:24I was
00:20:24she told him
00:20:25it was
00:20:25she said
00:20:25we had to
00:20:26the police cars
00:20:27and
00:20:27he said
00:20:28I was
00:20:28I was
00:20:28oh
00:20:28I was
00:20:30I was
00:20:30I was
00:20:30I was
00:20:31I was
00:20:31I was
00:20:32I was
00:20:32I was
00:20:33Oh, Causton Grammar?
00:20:59Oh, yeah.
00:21:01I'm a teaching assistant.
00:21:03Ah.
00:21:04How do you find it there?
00:21:06Oh, I used to like it.
00:21:09Well, since Estelle started, there's a lot more politics now.
00:21:14What sort of thing?
00:21:16Everyone assumed Tim Crawford would be the next head.
00:21:18He applied for it, and his wife still isn't over it.
00:21:22Was there tension between Felicity and Estelle?
00:21:25She thought Estelle was trying to push Tim out.
00:21:28I just put it down to Sour Grapes, but then Felicity found an email chain with the governors and...
00:21:33Did she confront Estelle?
00:21:35It was weird.
00:21:36She was going to.
00:21:37She was all riled up and then changed her tune.
00:21:40Said it was all a misunderstanding and refused to speak about it ever since.
00:21:44Okay.
00:21:45Well, thank you.
00:21:46If Cara Hallis does get in contact with anyone at the school, make sure she calls me straight away.
00:21:51Does Cara not know yet?
00:21:53Surely Tim called her.
00:21:54Everyone's calling her.
00:21:55No reply.
00:21:56Well, if she was going to pick up to anyone, it would be Tim.
00:21:59Why do you say that?
00:22:01He was her mentor in her NQT year.
00:22:06Just stuff and gossip, probably.
00:22:12Well, that was interesting.
00:22:14Follow up on Felicity Crawford's movements, because there was much more tension between Felicity and Estelle than she led on.
00:22:21She said that she was at ballet with her kids.
00:22:24I'll check.
00:22:25Well, so I've got an address for Piers Mayhew.
00:22:27His sister, Moira, definitely downplayed how hostile things were.
00:22:30Deception runs in the family, then.
00:22:32Because if Holly's telling the truth, Dominic Mayhew is lying through his teeth.
00:22:37What about?
00:22:38He told us he left the school at four.
00:22:41Holly says he was still there when Estelle was murdered.
00:22:44You're a kid's TV presenter?
00:22:57Yeah, guilty.
00:22:58And what were you a fan of?
00:23:00Crazy Carousel or Gunstown?
00:23:02Oh no, I just saw the photos.
00:23:04Oh, well, before your time, obviously.
00:23:08I was glad to leave it all behind, to be honest.
00:23:11You're a children's author now.
00:23:13Yeah, it's a bit of a pivot.
00:23:14But I had this idea about a boy who can turn himself into sea creatures.
00:23:18And, well, it sold rather well.
00:23:21We're here to talk about Estelle Hallis.
00:23:23I believe Moira has told you what happened.
00:23:26Indeed.
00:23:27And I'm suspect numero uno, am I?
00:23:29Well, we have some questions.
00:23:32Estelle was weak.
00:23:34She caved into pressure from the Snowflake mob.
00:23:36But it's her daughter, Cara, I have the real problem with.
00:23:38She was the one leading said mob.
00:23:40And you had an argument with Cara online?
00:23:42There was a debate about sensitivity, rewrites in children's books,
00:23:46expunging references to characters being fat, censorship, essentially.
00:23:50And I thought very strongly about it.
00:23:52And yes, a few glasses of New World Rising had been consumed
00:23:55and possibly I did overstep the mark.
00:23:57But nothing to justify my wholesale cancellation.
00:24:01Where were you this afternoon, around 5.45?
00:24:04Oh, I was at the Kingston Arms from five o'clock.
00:24:07The landlord, Pete, can vouch for me.
00:24:13This looks amazing.
00:24:14Sorry we're so late.
00:24:15Oh, don't worry.
00:24:19How cross is Betty with me on a scale of one to teenager?
00:24:22Oh, she'll get over it.
00:24:23But listen, is it really Estelle Hallis?
00:24:26I didn't plan.
00:24:27I promise.
00:24:28She didn't have to.
00:24:29It's all over the teacher message group.
00:24:31Well, I would never contradict a group of educators.
00:24:35Oh.
00:24:36Well, I remember her from that conference in Birmingham last year.
00:24:38She's a fellow historian.
00:24:40She writes about female spies in World War Two.
00:24:42It's fascinating.
00:24:43I'll put it on my reading list.
00:24:45I tell you what, I did not enjoy being back in the head teacher's office again today.
00:24:50Traumatic memories.
00:24:52I loved school.
00:24:53We know you did, head girl.
00:24:55We're an elite breed.
00:24:57Well, I thought you'd be much more likely to get expelled.
00:25:01How dare you?
00:25:02I was an excellent head girl.
00:25:04I liked the power.
00:25:06Oh, yes.
00:25:07I can totally see it now.
00:25:08It was him over there getting himself expelled.
00:25:12I was not expelled.
00:25:13I was suspended.
00:25:14What did he do?
00:25:15Oh, just stupid 14-year-old stuff.
00:25:16Such as?
00:25:17Come on.
00:25:18We will get it out of you.
00:25:19I can assure you, you won't.
00:25:21I can assure you, you won't.
00:25:33I can assure you, you won't.
00:25:38I can assure you, you won't.
00:25:53Man.
00:25:54I wasn't.
00:25:55I know you the знаешь for�ided by Coming Luc.
00:25:57The presente seminar
00:25:59wasチャ�� sheet.
00:25:59Forgot your torment.
00:26:01The mystery of some people
00:26:04wasieszged,
00:26:05Hi.
00:26:12It's not a good time, Holly.
00:26:14I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your wife.
00:26:16I know me and her.
00:26:17She was trying to help you, Holly.
00:26:19She liked you, Holly.
00:26:21She expelled me.
00:26:22Because you stole from the school.
00:26:24Oh, nice, yeah.
00:26:26Why'd you steal these from me?
00:26:27I'm sorry.
00:26:28I just...
00:26:29Her last days were filled with nothing but stress because of you.
00:26:33Now get out!
00:26:34Blake?
00:26:35Don't come back.
00:26:37There's no job for you here anymore.
00:26:55All right, guys.
00:26:56Last stop.
00:26:58Have a good one.
00:26:59See you later.
00:27:00I lost one to the door, please.
00:27:02Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:03Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:04Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:07What's that?
00:27:08I lost one to the door, please.
00:27:10Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:11Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:13I lost one to the door inside.
00:27:16You...
00:27:22I like this!
00:27:23It's really cool.
00:27:24I has to beinfected.
00:27:25We were all in a littleuchyana.
00:27:26We are in a little
00:27:37I don't know.
00:28:07I don't know.
00:28:37I don't know.
00:29:07I don't know.
00:29:08Green is your colour.
00:29:09I'm told that it brings up my eyes.
00:29:12Oh, so it does.
00:29:13I stand corrected.
00:29:14Shall we watch some footage of a murder again then?
00:29:17It's what we get paid for.
00:29:20I hope there'll be some kind of reflection or something, but there's nothing.
00:29:28They've been very careful.
00:29:30They're at precisely 5.48.
00:29:32Anything else to see?
00:29:37No, they have cameras at key locations.
00:29:40We're not everywhere.
00:29:41Okay.
00:29:42Oh, Dominic admitted to lying.
00:29:46He was worried about getting in trouble for the graffiti, apparently.
00:29:50And he thought that was worth lying for in a murder investigation.
00:29:53What did you make of Estelle's husband?
00:29:57His grief seemed genuine enough and there's no financial motive.
00:30:00Well, she's well off.
00:30:02Five rental properties between here and the Midlands.
00:30:04Yeah, but it all goes to Cara, though.
00:30:06The solicitor sent the will through this morning.
00:30:08I assume Cara hasn't made contact overnight.
00:30:10No.
00:30:11There's a text from her on Estelle's phone, though, sent Sunday night.
00:30:14Said that she had food poisoning and couldn't drive back.
00:30:17But I have contacted every yoga centre in Snowdonia,
00:30:19and not one of them has a record of her booking.
00:30:22Tracking her down needs to be a priority.
00:30:26I meant to be in a meeting upstairs.
00:30:28Just quickly.
00:30:30Traumatic aortic rupture.
00:30:31One clean stab.
00:30:34No hesitation.
00:30:36It's my pleasure.
00:30:39Any developments on our other case?
00:30:41What? What other case?
00:30:44I need you full-time on this.
00:30:46The case of the delinquent DCI.
00:30:50We're brainstorming reasons you got suspended from school.
00:30:53And what do you have so far?
00:30:55Setting off a fire extinguisher.
00:30:57Starting a food fight?
00:30:58Mm-mm.
00:31:00Something involving nudity.
00:31:03Miles off.
00:31:05Miles and miles.
00:31:07You won't take it.
00:31:18Mr. Crawford!
00:31:20Tim!
00:31:21Oh, hi, Moira.
00:31:23Dominic has something to say.
00:31:26Yeah, hi.
00:31:29Sorry for the damage to the staff room yesterday.
00:31:32It was me and Holly.
00:31:33Holly's the one who did the graffiti.
00:31:35He just didn't stop her.
00:31:38That sounds like we need to have a little chat.
00:31:43Right.
00:31:44Yes.
00:31:45It really wasn't his fault.
00:31:49I'm sorry.
00:31:50What were you thinking?
00:31:52How does that possibly help your case?
00:31:53I know.
00:31:54I made it all worse.
00:31:55You can still help me.
00:31:56I don't think I can.
00:31:58Not now!
00:32:00Lace!
00:32:06Any idea where in Snowdonia it was?
00:32:10Aye.
00:32:13Or if she was going with anyone?
00:32:15She didn't tell me anything about it.
00:32:18She didn't take any of her yoga stuff?
00:32:21Well, she said they provided mats and everything.
00:32:23I thought you said she didn't tell you any details about the trip.
00:32:29Oh, well, yeah.
00:32:31No, she didn't.
00:32:32Just that.
00:32:34Just that one very specific thing.
00:32:39I can't do this.
00:32:41I'm feeling sick all the time.
00:32:44Look, there is no yoga retreat.
00:32:47She was supposed to fly to Boston Friday night, but she's disappeared.
00:32:52Why was she going to Boston?
00:32:54She was delivering a rare book to some American guy.
00:32:57Signed, first edition, all that.
00:33:00Except it was fake.
00:33:02Rare books?
00:33:03Is Moira Mayhew involved in this?
00:33:04I don't want to get her in trouble.
00:33:06She's just trying to put Dominic through uni and I've got a slight tax issue.
00:33:09So you're selling fake books to collectors?
00:33:11It was just this one.
00:33:13The guy paid 70 grand, so he wanted it hand-delivered.
00:33:16But she asked me to do it.
00:33:18How did Cara get involved?
00:33:21I didn't think about it till I agreed, but I got arrested at a climate change protest last year.
00:33:29I can't get the paperwork to enter the US.
00:33:31So you asked Cara to go instead?
00:33:34She was meant to be on the 9pm flight.
00:33:35I've been calling and calling.
00:33:39It's like she's vanished off the face of the planet.
00:33:46Winter.
00:33:47Sorry I couldn't pick up.
00:33:48I had a feeling that Rhys Chapman was about to crack, and he did.
00:33:52Cara was never going on that yoga retreat.
00:33:55She was flying to Boston.
00:33:57Well, she didn't make it, sir.
00:34:01The school caretaker found her body half an hour ago.
00:34:19It's definitely her.
00:34:21Driving licence.
00:34:23No sign of her phone though.
00:34:25This is all due to be collected today.
00:34:27Hello?
00:34:29We've got a huge depressed skull fracture.
00:34:34Rigour has completely dissipated.
00:34:36I'd say she's been dead for three or four days.
00:34:39Friday or Saturday?
00:34:41So she'd already been dead for days by the time her mother was killed.
00:34:45So the message about food poisoning is from the killer, just playing for time.
00:34:48These were in her jacket.
00:34:49They're most commonly prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks.
00:34:55I can't see properly, but I think there's discolouration on the back of the calves and thighs where the blood settled.
00:35:05That tells us she wasn't always in this position.
00:35:11She was in a seated position somewhere.
00:35:15For at least twelve hours after death.
00:35:18Then moved to the locker.
00:35:20We're missing a crime scene.
00:35:23Well, given where she's been found, let's focus on the school.
00:35:26Contaminated by hundreds of kids, apparently.
00:35:30We'll just have to do what we can.
00:35:32That's us in Barcelona.
00:35:34We travelled round Europe together last summer on a grand tour.
00:35:43I always thought boyfriends come and go and whatever, but...
00:35:48Me and Cara, I thought she'd always be in my life.
00:35:56It's a huge loss. I'm sorry.
00:35:59Well, the main thing now is that he doesn't get away with it.
00:36:02Who?
00:36:04This guy, Pierce Mayhew.
00:36:07I know who he is.
00:36:09Cara got into an argument with him online.
00:36:13Yeah, but do you know about the other account?
00:36:15Our friend from art school, his auntie used to work with Pierce on TV,
00:36:19and she told Cara all these stories about him.
00:36:22Drunk on set, abusive to runners, massive creep.
00:36:26And Cara set up an anonymous account to share the stories.
00:36:28Did Pierce know it was Cara?
00:36:31He found out last week.
00:36:33And he came to the house looking for it.
00:36:35He only left when I threatened to call the police.
00:36:37Here, hold on.
00:36:47This last post on Thursday, stay tuned, more to come.
00:36:51Any idea what that was?
00:36:52No, but he was freaking out about the press, like anyone remembers who he is.
00:36:57Were you aware that Cara was taking medication for panic attacks?
00:37:02No.
00:37:04She did get a prescription last year.
00:37:07She saw an accident on a school trip, one of the instructors.
00:37:10I was worried about her popping pills, though.
00:37:12I thought she decided not to.
00:37:14I can't believe she didn't tell me that.
00:37:17She was my best friend.
00:37:19Winter?
00:37:20Oh, sir.
00:37:21Someone's given the art room a thorough bleaching.
00:37:22But there's some blood showing up by the door.
00:37:24They're testing the store cupboard now, and it's lighting up like a Christmas tree.
00:37:28Sir, we know where her body was kept. Good work.
00:37:30Oh, one more thing, sir.
00:37:31She emailed Paul Randall on Wednesday saying that she would contact the driving agency if he didn't do it himself.
00:37:36Paul then asked for a meeting with her.
00:37:38Did we know if that meeting took place?
00:37:40He's not on the visitor log, but Rhys Chapman is.
00:37:42He's down in his visiting car at 1.15 on Friday.
00:37:44That's the only entry I can find for him.
00:37:46I can find for him.
00:37:48No, he's not.
00:37:49No, he's not.
00:37:50No, no.
00:37:51No, no.
00:37:52No, no, no.
00:37:53No, no.
00:37:54No, no.
00:37:55No, no.
00:37:56No, no.
00:37:57No, no.
00:37:58No, no.
00:37:59That's the only entry I can find for him.
00:38:01Interesting.
00:38:02You didn't mention that.
00:38:04Well, let's pay the Randalls a visit, but first we need to talk to Piers Mayhew.
00:38:08It turns out that Cara was getting ready to destroy his reputation.
00:38:14People spread rumors online all the time.
00:38:16Nobody's going to pay attention to Cara.
00:38:19You seem very sure about that.
00:38:21Look, I wish I could help.
00:38:23But I was sitting in that chair most of the weekend working on the next novel.
00:38:26Yes, I...
00:38:27Okay, I did run a few errands, so if you can give me a more specific time...
00:38:31So you can ask someone to lie for you?
00:38:33Like you did when Estelle was killed?
00:38:36Don't know what you mean.
00:38:37We spoke to the landlord of the Kiniston Arms on our way over here.
00:38:41Your friend Pete.
00:38:42Except he says he's not your friend.
00:38:45And he was only too happy to report that you were not at his pub from 5pm yesterday.
00:38:50You got there over an hour later at 6.15 and had one drink.
00:38:54And then phoned him and asked him to lie.
00:38:56Okay, okay, you got me.
00:38:58I've been extremely foolish.
00:39:00I listened to Moira and that was a mistake.
00:39:03What's Moira got to do with this?
00:39:04Well, she was afraid I'd be a suspect.
00:39:06And with good reason, as it turns out.
00:39:08Anyway, her panic was infectious and she persuaded me to get myself an alibi in a populated place as soon as possible.
00:39:14So where were you really when Estelle was killed?
00:39:17Well, unhelpfully for all of us, I was sitting at that computer writing.
00:39:22A task I must get back to.
00:39:25If there's nothing else.
00:39:27Nothing for now.
00:39:29You're probably safe to take Pete off your Christmas card list though.
00:39:38My grandmother had it and she lived right into her 80s so we know it's not a death sentence.
00:39:44But still, MS.
00:39:48It's not what you want to hear.
00:39:50Of course.
00:39:51And you drive for a living.
00:39:54I was planning to declare it.
00:39:56And I do get it, I'm driving kids around, but...
00:39:59What if I need a test to keep my license? I wanted all the work lined up first.
00:40:03He's been keeping the driving to a minimum.
00:40:06But then another bill comes in.
00:40:08We overstretched on this place.
00:40:11It's got quite tight.
00:40:12You don't have to pretend.
00:40:14I know we're losing the house.
00:40:16And it's my fault, Karin.
00:40:18I told her about Dad's diagnosis back when I thought I could trust her.
00:40:22Before I killed her. That is. Obviously.
00:40:25Holly.
00:40:26That's a sick joke to make. Why would you say that?
00:40:27Why else are they here though?
00:40:29They don't care about your health.
00:40:31Or my education.
00:40:33Or how you pay your bills.
00:40:35They think one of us did it.
00:40:37That's the only reason they're talking to us.
00:40:39I really do apologize.
00:40:40It's okay, we're here to ask difficult questions.
00:40:43And yes, it would be helpful if you could tell us where you were from Friday afternoon to Saturday night.
00:40:50Friday we were all here, and Saturday Paul was at the shops and me and Holly were doing the garden.
00:40:53It's Blake Anderson you should be talking to.
00:40:57His wife and stepdaughter are both dead. And he's super aggressive.
00:41:01Your boyfriend said that you liked working with Blake.
00:41:04That was before he lost it with me.
00:41:06Like I honestly thought it was going to hit me.
00:41:09I was just trying to give him some flowers.
00:41:12When was this?
00:41:13Last night?
00:41:14So instead of harassing my disabled dad, perhaps you could ask Blake why he has anger issues.
00:41:21And then you could leave us alone.
00:41:22What were you looking at?
00:41:23Holly?
00:41:24What were you looking at?
00:41:41Holly?
00:41:42What were you looking at?
00:41:43Holly?
00:41:44What were you looking at?
00:41:48Holly?
00:42:12There's more in the dish if you'd like some.
00:42:34Ooh.
00:42:36Is that Estelle's academic work?
00:42:38No, photos from her phone. Just checking I'm not missing anything.
00:42:42It looks like she did a knitting course at Top Yarns.
00:42:46I thought maybe it was her research because she's marked up the stitches with letters.
00:42:50Estelle was a historian. What would that have to do with knitting?
00:42:53Remember I said that she'd written about female spies in World War II?
00:42:58I remember everything you say.
00:43:01Sometimes they use knitting to hide messages.
00:43:04So they'd do sequences of smooth stitches and then raised stitches like that.
00:43:09And it would spell out words in Morse code.
00:43:12One of the spies was called Phyllis Latour.
00:43:14Well, hang on. Phyllis Latour?
00:43:16This artwork is called Ooh La La Tour.
00:43:20Unless it's Ooh La Latour, in which case she wasn't learning to knit.
00:43:24She was deciphering a code.
00:43:26Can you read this?
00:43:28I could give it a go, but you probably need a knitter really.
00:43:30And I know just the man.
00:43:31Is everything okay with Holly?
00:43:32Mm-hmm.
00:43:33She's fine.
00:43:34I wanted to speak to you.
00:43:35Look, I'm her mother, aren't I?
00:43:36So I love her, no matter what.
00:43:37Okay.
00:43:38And you love her too.
00:43:39Enough to want to protect her.
00:43:40I love you.
00:43:41I love you.
00:43:42I love you.
00:43:43I love you.
00:43:44I love you.
00:43:45I love you.
00:43:46I love you.
00:43:47We have a pot here, too.
00:43:48What is evil?
00:43:49Thank you very much.
00:43:51Thank you very much.
00:43:53I'm asking her why.
00:43:54We're still waist in this place.
00:43:56Thank you very much.
00:44:03She's my friend and I kept weak.
00:44:08Ah...
00:44:09I think you know what I'm asking you, Dominic.
00:44:16I need you to tell me the truth.
00:44:29Oh, that's great.
00:44:31What does it say?
00:44:33You're kidding, right?
00:44:33This is going to take me ages.
00:44:35I have the utmost faith in you.
00:44:36Anything more overnight?
00:44:38Oh, yes.
00:44:39A digital flagged something weird in Kara's search history.
00:44:45She kept searching for a Terence McGregor maths.
00:44:51Well, it seems that he was a professor of applied mathematics.
00:44:53Lived in Badger's Drift, died five years ago, aged 87.
00:44:56And no obvious connection to Kara?
00:44:58Not that I can find.
00:44:59Keep digging.
00:45:01Okay, mother and daughter both killed on school grounds.
00:45:04Kara was killed first, so presumably it all starts with her.
00:45:07Last sighting of Kara's 4.50 p.m. on Friday when the in-person PTA meeting disbanded.
00:45:13When Moira threw a chair at her.
00:45:14Moira could have followed her into the classroom after the argument.
00:45:18What if Kara revealed that she knew about the book fraud?
00:45:21Or, um, Holly has to be high on the list.
00:45:23Well, she's impulsive.
00:45:25She felt betrayed by both Kara and Estelle.
00:45:28Mm, yeah.
00:45:30Oh, we need to speak to Felicity Crawford again.
00:45:32I just heard back from the ballet studio that her kids go to, and they missed their lesson on Monday.
00:45:37So, I called their primary school, and she booked them in to stay late.
00:45:42So, Felicity lied about where she was when Estelle was killed.
00:45:46I'd like to talk to her about that, and about the Stafford gossip surrounding her husband and Kara.
00:45:53I did sort of twig that Kara had a crush on me.
00:46:06Did I do enough to discourage it?
00:46:08Probably not.
00:46:10It's nice to have the attention.
00:46:12You know what it's like.
00:46:13She was like a lovesick puppy.
00:46:16Tim had to have a word with her.
00:46:20It was reassuring, in a way.
00:46:23Wrong classroom.
00:46:25Sorry, miss.
00:46:31Reassuring that Kara had a crush on your husband.
00:46:35Well, no, that she made it so obvious.
00:46:37I mean, if something had been going on, then she would have been more careful, wouldn't she?
00:46:42No lines were crossed.
00:46:43Not even slightly.
00:46:46Do you have any idea why your wife lied about taking your daughters to ballet on Monday?
00:46:51What?
00:46:53Where were they then?
00:46:56I went to see a psychotherapist.
00:46:59That's not what you said before.
00:47:00I lied because Tim was there, and it wasn't something that I wanted to discuss in front of my husband.
00:47:06I think there must be some crossed wires.
00:47:13Felicity and I, we don't have secrets.
00:47:18That is one complicated marriage.
00:47:20See if the therapist backs her up.
00:47:21Sir, there's been a new voicemail left on Estelle's mobile.
00:47:25It's from Dominic's university tutor.
00:47:27Apparently got himself kicked out.
00:47:29Estelle was trying to help her.
00:47:31Oh, Sarah.
00:47:32Hmm?
00:47:33Why is she calling you?
00:47:34Oh, I'll speak to Dominic.
00:47:38Hi, Sarah.
00:47:39Yeah, he's just realised.
00:47:42Non-attendance lectures.
00:47:44Failure to submit essays.
00:47:46After everything I did to help you get in there.
00:47:49The coaching.
00:47:51The extra tutorials.
00:47:52Maybe that was the problem.
00:47:56When I had to do it for myself, I couldn't cope, could I?
00:48:00You never let me learn to cope.
00:48:05I spoke to your tutor, Dominic.
00:48:08He said that Estelle called him at 4.30pm on Monday.
00:48:11That's about an hour before she was killed.
00:48:13Saying that you had just left her office in a highly emotional state.
00:48:17Well, she called them for me.
00:48:19She said she couldn't, and Mr Crawford had already tried.
00:48:21Tim Crawford knew about this.
00:48:23He was trying to help.
00:48:24Just to be clear, Dominic, you're admitting that you met Estelle shortly before she was murdered,
00:48:28that you were in her office, and that you were upset.
00:48:30Well, I talked to her.
00:48:33But I didn't do anything.
00:48:34You told us that you just knocked on the office door, that you didn't go in.
00:48:37This is the third version of events you've given us?
00:48:39You've made everything so much harder for yourself.
00:48:44Why did you lie?
00:48:46Because we mess things up.
00:48:50It's what I do.
00:48:51Because I'm stupid.
00:48:54I need a minute.
00:48:54No, no.
00:48:55Don!
00:48:56I have a few questions for you, Moira, as well.
00:49:01About your book fraud.
00:49:04My...
00:49:04What?
00:49:05Fake first editions.
00:49:08Forged signatures.
00:49:09Rhys told my colleague everything.
00:49:10It's not my usual way of doing things, I can assure you.
00:49:26It's more Kara's involvement that we're focusing on now.
00:49:28She knew about the scam.
00:49:29Did she threaten to reveal it?
00:49:31I didn't know she was involved until Rhys told me on Monday.
00:49:36I'm telling you the truth.
00:49:41I'd make a joke about forgetfulness, but I can't remember how it goes.
00:49:44Well, come in, because you know what occurred to me this morning.
00:49:47You remember my old head of science who moved to Nottingham?
00:49:50Well, he ended up at the school that Estelle used to teach at.
00:49:53So, I gave him a ring this morning, and Estelle's husband, Blake Anderson?
00:49:58Not Blake Anderson at all.
00:49:59What do you mean?
00:50:01Well, his real name is Benjamin Ashton.
00:50:03He went to prison for conning three separate women out of their life savings.
00:50:06They met when she was volunteering as a prison educator.
00:50:09So, his whole marriage to Estelle, that could be another romance scam.
00:50:15You should come and interview him with me.
00:50:16You're great at this.
00:50:17It's not difficult.
00:50:19I don't know why you always make such a song and dance about it.
00:50:23Oh, no.
00:50:24What?
00:50:25Oh, no.
00:50:29It took me a long time to believe that she liked me, because obviously she knew my past.
00:50:38It was all out there on the table.
00:50:42But she believed in new starts.
00:50:46She was willing to back me, and that made me think I can back myself, you know?
00:50:52What about Cara?
00:50:53Did she know?
00:50:54We told her we met online.
00:50:56You should have been up front with us from the beginning.
00:50:59I was going to tell you, but I couldn't.
00:51:04So it's all at the bottom of the lake now.
00:51:06What is?
00:51:07My old life.
00:51:09Well, what was left of it.
00:51:11Mementos and photos of my parents.
00:51:14I threw them away.
00:51:16I was afraid you were going to search my shop.
00:51:20Where were you over the weekend?
00:51:21At home.
00:51:24With Estelle.
00:51:27But I can only give you my word for that, and I know that's not worth much.
00:51:31In light of Cara's death, your wife's estate is all yours.
00:51:34Her pension, her property.
00:51:36It is, yeah.
00:51:38I think it's worth quite a lot.
00:51:39But Estelle is the one person who knew every last bit of me, and said yes to it all.
00:51:50So I profit from this.
00:51:52Yeah, I know I do.
00:51:53But all I can think about is what I've lost.
00:51:56Oh, you're Dominic's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:15And what do you want?
00:52:18Money.
00:52:25Package?
00:52:26No, it's for the guys at the station.
00:52:31I mean, helping me with this knitted artwork.
00:52:33And, well, these stitches in the speech bubble are indeed Morse code.
00:52:40And it's all about Cara.
00:52:42It's basically Rhys declaring his love for her.
00:52:44Oh, I assumed you would.
00:52:45Oh, ignore me.
00:52:46And never assume.
00:52:48So, Estelle understood the reference to Phyllis Latour and cracked the code,
00:52:54only to discover it was about her own daughter.
00:52:56And if Estelle told Cara, then that would make sense of the message that she sent her mother on Friday morning.
00:53:04Here.
00:53:04I'm worried.
00:53:05It's obvious I know.
00:53:07I'll need to have the talk.
00:53:08So you think Cara was planning to confront Rhys?
00:53:12Well, it could be why he visited the school on Friday.
00:53:14She asked him to talk, and then she rejected him.
00:53:16And he snapped.
00:53:17You were killed for less.
00:53:21Sir.
00:53:28There.
00:53:29There.
00:53:51There.
00:53:52Both computers are still here. All my first editions are accounted for. I don't understand it.
00:54:08Well, you must have been looking for something.
00:54:11I've no idea what.
00:54:13They've left my stuff alone. I don't think there's much of a market in stolen knitting needles.
00:54:18I'm sure you're right. Can I have a word with you in private?
00:54:20Uh, yeah, if you need to.
00:54:24I've got things to do upstairs.
00:54:27Thank you. Shall we go through there?
00:54:29Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:54:34It's about your relationship with Kara. Is it purely platonic?
00:54:39Of course, yeah.
00:54:41On both sides?
00:54:42I'm not sure what you're getting at.
00:54:43The message in the speech bubble.
00:54:49Do you want me to spell it out for you?
00:54:52Well, that's art. It doesn't literally mean that...
00:54:55I think it does.
00:54:57You were in love with Kara.
00:54:59You couldn't tell her, so you poured it into your art.
00:55:02But, Estelle spotted the Latour reference, didn't she?
00:55:14It all came out last week.
00:55:17Because I've been dating men for so long, Kara forgot that bi does actually mean bi.
00:55:21She was acting like I tricked her or something.
00:55:27So she rejected you?
00:55:29The rejection, I could handle it.
00:55:32It was the awkwardness.
00:55:33It was like she was wary around me. It was awful.
00:55:36Is that why you visited Kara at school on Friday?
00:55:39I just needed to make things right before she got on the plane.
00:55:43And she said we were good, but...
00:55:45We weren't.
00:55:46I could feel it.
00:55:49And after that conversation, what did you do?
00:55:52I went straight back home.
00:55:55Look, it's obvious where you're taking this, and you're so wrong.
00:55:59I could never, ever hurt Kara.
00:56:02One more thing for now.
00:56:04Does the name Terence McGregor mean anything to you?
00:56:07I've never heard of him.
00:56:09He was a maths professor. Kara seemed to be researching him.
00:56:12I know who he is.
00:56:14I couldn't help overhearing.
00:56:16I bought some crates of books from his estate when he died.
00:56:19Turned out to include some highly sought-after talkings.
00:56:23But I don't know why on earth Kara was interested.
00:56:36Rotten fish in the air vent?
00:56:38What?
00:56:40Fifty chickens in the staff room.
00:56:41A truckload of horse manure in the car park.
00:56:47Are you really so desperate to know what got me suspended?
00:56:51I most certainly am.
00:56:52Well, Dr. Perkins, I will tell you, on one condition.
00:56:59Name it.
00:57:00Under no circumstances does this get back to winter.
00:57:03It was a weed killer on the school sports field, applied to burn the grass in a certain shape.
00:57:15A shape a teenage boy might find amusing.
00:57:19The very one.
00:57:22Lucky to get away with just a suspension.
00:57:24Oh, I got a lot more than that.
00:57:25My parents persuaded a police officer friend to turn up on our doorstep in uniform.
00:57:32He said he had some questions.
00:57:33He frightened the hell out of me.
00:57:34Stellar parenting.
00:57:35But then, his questions were all about why I'd done it.
00:57:43He was genuinely curious about why I was acting out, you know.
00:57:47And he showed me that you could make a mistake and it could be okay.
00:57:51You could come back from it.
00:57:54I sometimes wonder if that conversation was the reason I became a police officer.
00:58:01That's actually really nice.
00:58:05I became a pathologist because I like knives.
00:58:10And on the subject of pathology...
00:58:13Ah, yes.
00:58:14Cause of death was the depressed skull fracture.
00:58:19She was hit once, very hard, with a pointed object.
00:58:23This was on display in the art room.
00:58:26Traces of blood and bleach.
00:58:28I sent it to the lab for DNA.
00:58:32Sorry, I'm late.
00:58:33Felicity's therapist called.
00:58:34She was with him when Estelle was killed.
00:58:37That's Tim and Felicity both accounted for, then.
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:43What?
00:58:45No, it's just...
00:58:46It's not impossible they're working with a third party, is it?
00:58:49It's just something the therapist said.
00:58:51He assumed that I was calling because Estelle had followed through on a threat that she made to Felicity about going to the police.
00:58:58What about?
00:58:58Well, he wouldn't say, like confidentiality, but I looked him up online and he's an addiction specialist.
00:59:05This is humiliating.
00:59:12We're not here to embarrass you, we just need the facts.
00:59:15Felicity gets quite anxious.
00:59:18Ever since the girls were born, really.
00:59:21We all deal with stress in different ways, don't we?
00:59:23And for Felicity, she...
00:59:27Well, she takes things without pain.
00:59:32Shortlifting.
00:59:34It just happens when things get on top of me.
00:59:37It's not even the stuff that she wants.
00:59:39Most of it ends up in the bin.
00:59:41Did Estelle know about this?
00:59:43No.
00:59:43Yes.
00:59:46Well, she did.
00:59:48I mean, when I tried to talk to her about the way she was treating you...
00:59:52She said that...
00:59:54She said that she'd noticed me taking things.
00:59:59Christmas fairs.
01:00:00Summer fates.
01:00:03I mean...
01:00:04She framed it as concern, you know, how can I help?
01:00:06But...
01:00:07The message was clear.
01:00:11She had something over you.
01:00:12Well, that doesn't mean anything, does it?
01:00:15You know that Felicity didn't kill Estelle.
01:00:18She can't be in two places at the same time.
01:00:33What's this?
01:00:34A music festival in Croatia.
01:00:36I need you to give these to Dominic.
01:00:39Help him go over the studio-versity business.
01:00:42Since when did you take the slightest interest in Dominic?
01:00:48Since he and his girlfriend took an interest in me.
01:00:50Dominic!
01:00:56Come on, I'm going to go over the studio-versity business.
01:00:58Really good.
01:00:59Well done.
01:00:59Really good.
01:01:00Come on, please.
01:01:01Come on, let's do it.
01:01:02Come on.
01:01:02Come on, let's do it.
01:01:02Come on, let's do it.
01:01:04Come on.
01:01:18Dominic!
01:01:18Dominic, I've got a surprise for you from your uncle.
01:01:24Dominic?
01:01:26Don!
01:01:40No!
01:01:44Dominic!
01:01:48Dominic!
01:01:50Dominic!
01:01:54Dominic!
01:01:56Dominic!
01:02:02Dominic!
01:02:04Dominic!
01:02:06Dominic!
01:02:08Dominic!
01:02:10Dominic!
01:02:12Dominic!
01:02:14Dominic!
01:02:16Dominic!
01:02:18Dominic!
01:02:20Dominic!
01:02:22Dominic!
01:02:24Dominic!
01:02:26Dominic!
01:02:28Moira said that the shop was closed.
01:02:30This has got to be linked to the break-in, surely?
01:02:32No sign of forced entry this time, and no obvious struggle.
01:02:34Dominic led them in.
01:02:36He trusted them.
01:02:38Well, they had their own keys.
01:02:40Dominic!
01:02:41Dominic!
01:02:42Dominic!
01:02:44Dominic!
01:02:46What's Holly said so far?
01:02:56She claims she was here all morning, left at 12.30.
01:02:59She sent me these, which were taken around midday.
01:03:11Hmm, that globe has been moved.
01:03:15Is it still somewhere in the flat?
01:03:16I'm not sure. Do you think it's valuable?
01:03:18Well, it looks old.
01:03:20Let's check it's still here, sir.
01:03:22I'm going to talk to Holly.
01:03:34He was fine when I left him, I swear.
01:03:36Nobody's accusing you, Holly.
01:03:38Just tell him what you told us about Piers.
01:03:42Piers doesn't buy his own books.
01:03:45He stole them.
01:03:47Me and Dominic started blackmailing him about it.
01:03:49What do you mean, he stole them?
01:03:53He stole them.
01:03:55It was years ago.
01:03:56Dominic came across these old notebooks in the bottom of a box in the shop.
01:04:00They belonged to some lecturer who died.
01:04:05A maths lecturer?
01:04:07Terence McGregor?
01:04:08Yeah.
01:04:08Yeah.
01:04:09That's it.
01:04:10And they were full of these handwritten stories.
01:04:16Dominic got really into them.
01:04:19Piers had a look and wanted to borrow them.
01:04:22Who else knew about this?
01:04:24Piers gave Dominic £500 to keep quiet.
01:04:29Then Dominic told me.
01:04:31And when Cara got into the whole thing with Piers online, I told her.
01:04:36Was Cara threatening to go public?
01:04:41She said she needed to check it was true first.
01:04:45But I went to see him yesterday.
01:04:47You went to blackmail him?
01:04:50He agreed to pay for a few things.
01:04:52As long as we kept quiet.
01:04:56I was so excited to tell him.
01:04:59But now what if I've got him killed?
01:05:02The only person responsible for Dominic's death is the person who killed him.
01:05:12Look.
01:05:13No sign of that globe.
01:05:15Moira said that she was collecting things at the shop for the PTA jumble sale.
01:05:19It came in as a donation.
01:05:20Cara saw it, said that she liked it.
01:05:22And asked Moira to put it aside for her.
01:05:23Wait a minute.
01:05:24So Cara showed an interest in this globe.
01:05:26And then Dominic had it in his possession until it vanished around the time he was killed.
01:05:31You're thinking whoever killed Dominic took the globe from the flat.
01:05:34Why?
01:05:35Logically, there would be two options.
01:05:38They wanted it themselves.
01:05:39Or they wanted to stop someone else getting hold of it.
01:05:42In which case, what have they done with it?
01:05:43Hidden it? Disposed of it?
01:05:45Get Uniform to have a look around just in the immediate area in case they dumped it straight away.
01:05:49In the meantime, I have some questions for Piers Mayhew.
01:05:54Midsummer's premier plagiarist, apparently.
01:06:00What globe?
01:06:02I've been sitting here the whole time writing.
01:06:04It's what I do.
01:06:05Hmm.
01:06:06The new novel.
01:06:08How's that going?
01:06:09Slowly.
01:06:10I'd like you to read this, please.
01:06:22I know what it says.
01:06:26These stories.
01:06:28None of them are yours.
01:06:30You stole them.
01:06:32I used the material as a springboard, that's all.
01:06:35Plagiarism.
01:06:36But, as you like stories.
01:06:39Once upon a time, Dominic told Holly that you stole your novels.
01:06:44Holly told Kara, and she was going to tell the world only before she had a chance.
01:06:49She was killed.
01:06:51This is absurd.
01:06:52I did not do this.
01:06:54Plot twist.
01:06:55Kara told her mother, Estelle.
01:06:58And she was killed, too.
01:07:03If you have evidence to arrest me, go ahead.
01:07:07Otherwise, this little storytelling session is over.
01:07:19Piers has to be top of our list.
01:07:22Estelle, Kara, and Dominic were blowing his world apart between them.
01:07:26I don't suppose that globe's turned up?
01:07:28No.
01:07:29Uniform checked the wheelie bins, the public litter bins, the park.
01:07:33What?
01:07:34I walked past that fencing a few hours ago.
01:07:36It wasn't pulled open like that.
01:07:40Are you serious?
01:07:43Are you serious?
01:07:45Okay, fine.
01:07:50I hope you should have stopped buying your suit.
01:07:53With respect, sir, this is a complete waste of...
01:07:56Hold on.
01:08:06You were saying?
01:08:07That your hunches are always right, sir.
01:08:09A prize for academic excellence presented to...
01:08:23Timothy Hillary Crawford, Year 8, by Mr. Vincent Bell, Headmaster.
01:08:28Oh, this is Tim Crawford's Globe.
01:08:32Tim's?
01:08:33From when he was at school?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:36But if this was in the PTA donations, then why did Kara ask Moira to put it aside for her?
01:08:42I think I might know.
01:08:44Vincent Bell, here, look.
01:08:46Vincent Bell, 72, fell to his death while facilitating a residential trip for a group of Year 12 students from Causton Grammar.
01:08:55That's the school trip Tim organized in the Lake District.
01:08:57Hmm.
01:08:58And the man who died was his old headmaster.
01:09:00Kara witnessed the accident on that school trip, too.
01:09:03Reece said that's what started her panic attacks.
01:09:06Was she aware that the man she saw die was Tim's headmaster?
01:09:10Was it only seeing this globe that told her that?
01:09:15Come on.
01:09:19He was just a random old guy helping out at the center.
01:09:22But Kara saw his body hit the ground and that's why she couldn't sleep for ages.
01:09:26Did she mention that Tim knew him from when he was at school?
01:09:29What?
01:09:30No.
01:09:31And she definitely would have mentioned that.
01:09:33Look, as far as she was concerned, he was a stranger to both of them.
01:09:36What did Kara say when she asked you to keep the globe for her?
01:09:39Just to make sure it didn't end up with the jumble sale stuff.
01:09:43She said she needed to show it to someone.
01:09:47Take good care of each other.
01:09:49So Tim never let on that he knew Vincent Bell.
01:10:00And then Kara saw the globe, saw the names, and made the connection.
01:10:04Exactly.
01:10:05And there's one obvious reason why Tim would cover up his connection to Vincent Bell, isn't there?
01:10:11It wasn't an accident.
01:10:13Well, so...
01:10:14But it can't be Tim, though, can it?
01:10:16We have him on video when Estelle was murdered and...
01:10:19Even if he was working with his wife or something, we know that she was with his therapist.
01:10:22I know.
01:10:24But what if there was a way to be in two places at once?
01:10:31There. Slow that down.
01:10:37It actually cuts out for a split second.
01:10:39546 precisely.
01:10:41Two minutes before Estelle is killed.
01:10:44You could run from Tim's classroom to Estelle's office in that time.
01:10:47Tim said he was having technical issues.
01:10:51You know, it's possible that all the footage we're seeing after it cuts out was pre-filmed.
01:10:58Go to the bit with the javelin.
01:11:00Look at the timestamp.
01:11:01It's not 5.48 in a few seconds.
01:11:02It's 5.48 on the absolute dart.
01:11:03He timed the javelin to coordinate with his faked reaction on the pre-filmed footage.
01:11:19So you go on my whistle!
01:11:20Mr. Crawford.
01:11:21We haven't informed the students yet.
01:11:22Doesn't feel real, does it?
01:11:23I mean...
01:11:24Who wanted to hurt Dominic?
01:11:26Who indeed?
01:11:27I believe this belongs to you.
01:11:28Why don't you tell us about Vincent Bell?
01:11:29Or Mr. Bell, as I suppose he was to you.
01:11:30Being your headmaster.
01:11:31I don't want to talk about him.
01:11:32Not here.
01:11:33Not here.
01:11:34Not here.
01:11:35How?
01:11:36Who wanted to hurt Dominic?
01:11:37Who wanted to hurt Dominic?
01:11:38Who indeed.
01:11:39I believe this belongs to you.
01:11:43Why don't you tell us about Vincent Bell?
01:11:48Or Mr. Bell, as I suppose he was to you.
01:11:52Being your headmaster.
01:11:53I don't want to talk about him.
01:11:55Not here.
01:12:07We know what you did.
01:12:10We have a good idea how you did it.
01:12:14I'd just like to know why.
01:12:20Why?
01:12:22Because he was a monster!
01:12:26He was a bully!
01:12:28He belittled us, terrified us, day and night!
01:12:32Was this a boarding school?
01:12:33Yes!
01:12:35There's no escape.
01:12:36You know, I know for a fact there are men out there, middle-aged men.
01:12:40They're suffering from depression.
01:12:42Unable to form relationships because of the damage that he did.
01:12:47You tried to be a good student.
01:12:49You know, the day that I won that, he said it made me conceited.
01:13:01He made me take off my socks and shoes and run 20 laps around the school.
01:13:11And when he saw that my feet were bleeding, do you know what he did, DCI Barnaby?
01:13:18He smiled.
01:13:20That man was a sadist!
01:13:22Then all those years later at the outdoor centre, there he was.
01:13:33It was recorded as an abseiling accident.
01:13:36Yeah, he was.
01:13:39He was setting up a line so he was close to the edge.
01:13:44Excuse me.
01:13:45Did I have to keep...
01:13:50Hello, Timothy.
01:13:52I thought I recognised the name.
01:13:54I was back there.
01:13:59A thirteen-year-old little boy.
01:14:02I was humiliated.
01:14:04Frightened.
01:14:06But there was this anger inside.
01:14:08I was so incredibly angry!
01:14:11And I knew, I knew in that moment it was so clear.
01:14:14And the only way for a man like Vincent Bell to face consequences, was for a man like me to make him.
01:14:28But Kara saw it.
01:14:33Kara.
01:14:37She saw something.
01:14:38I...
01:14:41I never knew exactly how much, but...
01:14:46She trusted me.
01:14:48And you used that.
01:14:50You made her believe your lies over the evidence of her own eyes.
01:14:54Until...
01:14:56That was hidden in the back of an attic.
01:14:58I'd forgotten it existed.
01:15:00Oh, and then when Felicity had given it to a jumbo sale, it was like this grenade was out there waiting to go off.
01:15:06I couldn't track it down.
01:15:08Kara spotted it in the donations at the shop.
01:15:11She saw your name and his name engraved side by side.
01:15:15Difficult for her to make the connection.
01:15:17I saw you! You had your hands on him!
01:15:19I was trying to grab him!
01:15:21And you knew him!
01:15:23There's only one reason you'd lie about that.
01:15:28I'm sorry!
01:15:29Where are you going?
01:15:31Kara, please!
01:15:32She was going to the police.
01:15:37You hid her body in a cupboard.
01:15:40You moved it to the locker at the weekend.
01:15:42You knew they were going to the tip.
01:15:44But what if she'd confided in someone else?
01:15:47I read her messages.
01:15:49And that there was one to Estelle.
01:15:53Something like, um...
01:15:55I'm worried.
01:15:57He knows that I know.
01:15:59We believe that message referred to something else.
01:16:03It was about her friend Rhys.
01:16:06It had nothing to do with you.
01:16:08How did you fake the video call footage?
01:16:15Um...
01:16:17I filmed myself over the weekend and I switched the feeds.
01:16:21Counseling an event at such short notice is an insult to the work of this committee.
01:16:28Do you have any idea how difficult it is to secure a speaker like Piers Mayhew?
01:16:36He is your brother.
01:16:38Was it that difficult to book him?
01:16:40He is the region's best-selling children's offer.
01:16:44Given his recent address on social media, I simply don't see how...
01:16:48We appreciate it.
01:16:50Item two on the agenda.
01:16:52Second-hand uniform sale.
01:16:54So you ran over there.
01:16:56They were too busy shouting at each other to pay any attention to me.
01:16:59I knew there would be.
01:17:00And, as a PTA head, I am entitled to call an American...
01:17:05Existence.
01:17:07The PTA
01:17:09The PTA
01:17:11The PTA
01:17:13The PTA
01:17:15The PTA
01:17:19The PTA
01:17:21Call an ambulance!
01:17:22But the incriminating glow was still out there.
01:17:25That was you, the break-in at Moira's shop, trying to get it back.
01:17:29Kyra said it was there, but when I broke it, I couldn't find it.
01:17:32You know, I knew that Dominic had seen it, though.
01:17:35That graffiti in the staff room.
01:17:38I never told them my middle name.
01:17:41You were afraid that he'd work it out?
01:17:43He knew about the incident on the school trip. Everyone did.
01:17:46There you go.
01:17:48Oh, thanks.
01:17:50Presented to Timothy Hillary Crawford.
01:17:53Year 8, by Mr. Vincent Bell, Headmaster.
01:17:56Imagine going through school with a middle name, Hillary.
01:17:58Vincent Bell?
01:18:00I knew I heard that name.
01:18:02That old guy who died on the Year 12 trip.
01:18:03Was it?
01:18:05I can't remember now.
01:18:06Yeah, it definitely was.
01:18:07Bell's a pretty common name.
01:18:09But the Vincent Bell who died was a retired teacher.
01:18:11It said so in the papers.
01:18:13Sir, why would you say you didn't know?
01:18:15You killed him. 19 years old.
01:18:17I didn't want to.
01:18:19I didn't want to.
01:18:21I didn't want to.
01:18:23I didn't want to.
01:18:25I didn't want to.
01:18:27I didn't want to.
01:18:29I didn't want to.
01:18:31I didn't want to.
01:18:33I didn't want to.
01:18:34I just thought if I could get the globe back.
01:18:38You murdered Cara, Estelle and Dominic to cover up the truth about Vincent Bell's death.
01:18:44Where was this going to end?
01:18:46Holly Randall saw that globe too.
01:18:49Was she next?
01:18:55A week ago.
01:18:58That was me.
01:19:00The good teacher.
01:19:01A good teacher.
01:19:05A good man.
01:19:09That's the one thing Vincent Bell did for me.
01:19:13He made me want to be a teacher too so that I could do better.
01:19:16And I did do better.
01:19:20And I did do better.
01:19:27I don't understand how I let this happen.
01:19:29How did this happen?
01:19:30I don't know.
01:19:57Sir.
01:19:59Sir.
01:20:00Almost left this in the office.
01:20:09Oh, thank you. That's great.
01:20:11Oh, it's brilliant. Rebel.
01:20:14You don't know the half.
01:20:17I'm going to join you for the second round, actually.
01:20:20There's something I need to do first.
01:20:30It's okay. I haven't come to interrogate you.
01:20:38I just thought you might be feeling like you've messed up
01:20:42and that there's no way to come back from it.
01:20:44So I just wanted to tell you about something.
01:20:48What is it?
01:20:49Something incredibly stupid that I did when I was around your age
01:20:54involving a sports field and a bottle of weed killer.
01:20:59Well, I don't get it.
01:21:01What was it?
01:21:03Well, it turned out it was the making of me.
01:21:09All right. Come on in.
01:21:21Just once around the block?
01:21:22Yeah. As long as he gets a decent walk at lunchtime, he'll be fine.
01:21:25What do you look like, eh?
01:21:27No, sorry about that. I'll get the next round in.
01:21:30There's no need.
01:21:31It's on Jamie.
01:21:32Ah!
01:21:33Who will also be dog-sitting next weekend,
01:21:36jet-washing the patio,
01:21:37and helping you trim that edge.
01:21:40Because...
01:21:40we broke it a deal.
01:21:41Well, everything tells me this is bad.
01:21:46So I finally went through the boxes in the shed,
01:21:49and it turns out your mother kept it.
01:21:52The local paper with a full-page spread detailing your little teenage incident that led to your suspension.
01:21:59Nobody breathes a word of this to Betty, okay?
01:22:11Because I am supposed to set an example.
01:22:13I'm a figure of authority and sound judgment.
01:22:16Oh, for goodness sake, it's not that funny.
01:22:18It is. I mean, the sheer scale of this artwork.
01:22:22Anatomically correct?
01:22:23Yes. I mean, you can see it from space.
01:22:25It did take me quite a while.
01:22:26Oh, this is amazing.
01:22:30This might be the greatest day of my life.
01:22:37Yes.
01:22:38This might be the greatest day of my life.
