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.
00:04:26Is that something?
00:04:38I don't think I'm gonna get married.
00:04:40I don't know.
00:04:41I don't think it's gonna lie.
00:04:42I don't know.
00:04:43I don't know why.
00:04:44Estelle Hallis, 52, headteacher.
00:04:50She 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.
00:04:57The killer must have stayed low and out of shot.
00:05:05That looks like a javelin.
00:05:08It is.
00:05:09The angle suggests it was an upward-stabbing motion from lowdown.
00:05:18You won't need my help with time of death.
00:05:21It's on camera, at 5.48 precisely.
00:05:24After-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.
00:05:33There's a husband, Blake Anderson.
00:05:36He runs the bike shop in town, but he's not picking up his phone.
00:05:39And then there's a daughter, Cara.
00:05:41She's an art teacher here, but also uncontactable.
00:05:45Apparently she's off sick today.
00:05:46I assume curry nights cancel?
00:05:48No, no, please go.
00:05:49They've gone to so much effort.
00:05:51You could get them to save some for me.
00:05:53Lamb skewers or something.
00:05:54Lamb skewers?
00:05:59Maybe just a naan.
00:06:00The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:06:19This must have been planned.
00:06:20They knew you should be on that call and you should be wearing headphones.
00:06:24I wouldn't hear them coming.
00:06:25And there's something else.
00:06:33This classroom belongs to the victim's daughter, Cara.
00:06:37It's an interesting message, right?
00:06:41Always behind you.
00:06:42Not fully dry.
00:06:49This is recent.
00:06:51Who was first on the scene?
00:06:56Tim Crawford.
00:06:57Deputy Head.
00:06:58DCI Barnaby.
00:06:59Were you on the video call?
00:07:01I did it from my classroom, just down the corridor.
00:07:03Did you see anybody?
00:07:05No.
00:07:05I ran over straight away, but...
00:07:08By the time I got...
00:07:10I'm sorry.
00:07:11Is there somewhere we can talk?
00:07:12Uh, the stuff room's just here.
00:07:15Oh, uh, sorry, uh...
00:07:18End of year prank, I guess.
00:07:25Is this graffiti new?
00:07:26What's that?
00:07:28Oh, yes, uh...
00:07:31Hilary.
00:07:32Yeah.
00:07:32Yeah, 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.
00:07:38Which is not a bad thing, but...
00:07:40I'll put it this way.
00:07:41She expelled more pupils in two years than the last head did in 12.
00:07:45Anyone recently?
00:07:46Holly Randall.
00:07:47Last week.
00:07:49Her parents are appealing it.
00:07:50There was a Paul and Josephine Randall on the video call list you gave me.
00:07:53Yeah, that's them.
00:07:54Paul, 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.
00:08:00And what was Holly expelled for?
00:08:03Um, she...
00:08:04Tim!
00:08:05You okay?
00:08:06Yeah, yeah, um...
00:08:07Where are the girls?
00:08:08Oh, they're in the car.
00:08:09We were at their ballet lesson.
00:08:12Oh, sorry.
00:08:13Um, I'm Felicity.
00:08:14I'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...
00:08:21What kind of mistakes?
00:08:22She stole a brand new tablet from the ICT class and sold it online.
00:08:26She 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.
00:08:35Have you told them about the situation with Piers?
00:08:39Piers?
00:08:40No.
00:08:41Uh, Piers Mayhew.
00:08:42Um, he's the brother of our PTA chairwoman, Moira.
00:08:47He 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.
00:09:06She threw a chair at them when she found out last Friday.
00:09:08That's why we were at the 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.
00:09:17She 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.
00:09:29We'll be in touch about opening the school tomorrow.
00:09:31Certain areas obviously will remain off-limits.
00:09:34Yep.
00:09:35Yep, of course.
00:09:37Um, DCI Barnaby?
00:09:41I don't know if this is important, but 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.
00:09:52Well, yes, but that was finished by 3.30, though.
00:09:54I saw him at 4.00.
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 I said.
00:10:07We don't want to cause any problems.
00:10:08We don't want to cause any problems.
00:10:09So, let's go.
00:10:39We used to live next door.
00:10:41And when my daughter died, when I was going through all the guardianship stuff for Dominic, she held me together.
00:10:47This must be very difficult.
00:10:49I was shouting at her when it happened.
00:10:52About stupid things, things that don't even matter.
00:10:55Gran, it's okay.
00:10:57We heard about an incident in a meeting last Friday.
00:11:00With a chair.
00:11:02Who told you that?
00:11:04I'd had enough, that's all.
00:11:06Karen had a book quantificating.
00:11:09The chair was in my way, so I moved it.
00:11:12A bit too hard.
00:11:16Sorry.
00:11:18I don't see how all this is relevant.
00:11:21I mean, surely you're not accusing me.
00:11:23I was on the video call.
00:11:25You visited the school earlier, is that right?
00:11:27I did a talk.
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:28How to succeed at university.
00:11:30Dominic was head boy.
00:11:32He's now on a very competitive course.
00:11:35Did you see Estelle Hallis?
00:11:37No.
00:11:38Are you sure?
00:11:39A witness saw you outside her office at around 4pm.
00:11:43Gran wanted me to nag her about this book event with Pierce.
00:11:45I knocked, and she didn't answer.
00:11:48So I left.
00:11:49The witness said that you looked upset.
00:11:51I wasn't.
00:11:56Hiya!
00:11:57I'll pull you out in till tomorrow.
00:11:59I thought you weren't in.
00:12:02Oh, I might not.
00:12:03Have you seen it out there?
00:12:04There's like 20 police cars at the school.
00:12:07These gentlemen are the police.
00:12:09Oh.
00:12:10Right.
00:12:11Reese Chapman.
00:12:12She's the dusty old book.
00:12:13Some of the fabulous textiles.
00:12:15Estelle Hallis has been murdered.
00:12:17What?
00:12:18Seriously.
00:12:19Seriously?
00:12:20Stabbed 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.
00:12:35This is going to destroy her.
00:12:36They were really close.
00:12:39I'm sorry.
00:12:40Do you mind?
00:12:43Did Estelle ever talk about her marriage?
00:12:47Well, she seemed happy enough.
00:12:49You don't like Blake?
00:12:50Don't trust him.
00:12:52I don't know.
00:12:52There's just something.
00:12:55Collie says he's all right.
00:12:57My girlfriend.
00:12:58She works a Saturday job at his bike shop.
00:13:00Is that Holly Randall?
00:13:02Yeah.
00:13:02So she works with Estelle's husband.
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:06Well, I've left my number.
00:13:08Do call if Cara gets in touch.
00:13:17It's unusual.
00:13:23It's all my own work.
00:13:25We run knitting sessions on Thursdays.
00:13:27Everyone's welcome.
00:13:28Oh, no.
00:13:28My grand taught me to nail the school holidays,
00:13:31but I couldn't do it now.
00:13:32Well, you never lose it.
00:13:34It's like riding a big woolly bike.
00:13:35Thanks.
00:13:45Please don't be shy, Winter.
00:13:46I'd love a nice scarf.
00:13:49Yeah, hello.
00:13:51Okay, tell him to stay put.
00:13:53I'll get DS Winter over there now.
00:13:55Thanks.
00:13:56Who is that?
00:13:58They've located Estelle's husband at 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.
00:14:06Only, um, try not to needle him.
00:14:09What?
00:14:10You see, you've got to unravel the whole case
00:14:12before you can knit it back together.
00:14:17But don't let him pull the wool over your eyes.
00:14:27Lunch boxes on the table and pee kits in the wash, please.
00:14:31Please!
00:14:35Lucy seemed freaked out by all the police.
00:14:37Wasn't sure what to say.
00:14:40Oh, come on.
00:14:43Again?
00:14:44You promised that you would check next time
00:14:47before donating things.
00:14:49That must stuff from the attic?
00:14:50Your older wards from school,
00:14:51you're still going on about that.
00:14:53A tidy house helps me cope.
00:14:55What's this?
00:14:58And these?
00:14:59Do you know what they are?
00:15:02What 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.
00:15:20I didn't want to worry you about it.
00:15:21What sort of problem?
00:15:26Rhys.
00:15:26Okay, look, don't freak out, but...
00:15:31Clara is not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:33It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:34It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:35It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:36It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:37It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:38It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:39It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:40It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:41It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:42It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:43It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:44It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:45It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:46It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:47It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:48It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:49It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:15:50It's not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:16:21I'd keep my phone off on the bike so when I turned it back on, all the missed calls, I knew it was bad.
00:16:31I think I... can I see her? Because I think I need to for it to feel real.
00:16:40We can arrange that, of course.
00:16:42Were you cycling with anyone today?
00:16:45I was on my own up in the Johns.
00:16:48How long had you been married?
00:16:49Um, eight years next month. Second time lucky for both of us.
00:16:54What's the situation with Estelle's first husband?
00:16:57Left when Cara was a baby.
00:16:59How did you meet?
00:17:02Online.
00:17:02She was teaching in Nottingham, but she always wanted to move back to Midsommar, so when she got the headmistress job, we came down here.
00:17:14We were told that she expelled a lot of students. Did that make her any enemies?
00:17:18No. It's not like she ever abandoned the kids. She'd go out of her way to find them places at another school. Somewhere they could start again.
00:17:28She was friends with Moira Mayhew, is that right?
00:17:32Was. Yeah.
00:17:34She phoned on Saturday, going ballistic about this book event.
00:17:39They still put her on speaker, and the language coming out.
00:17:44Seriously.
00:17:44She might be getting on, but she scares the hell out of me.
00:17:59So, Josie, you were on the call right until the end, but Paul, you left a couple of minutes in.
00:18:05I'd had enough. I took myself outside to calm down.
00:18:11Are the fields behind this house the school playing fields?
00:18:15I wasn't running across them to murder the headmistress, if that's where you're going.
00:18:20I was in the garden. She could see me.
00:18:27And what were you doing, Holly?
00:18:29Wasting my life in the park.
00:18:31I'm sorry. She's having a tricky time.
00:18:35I heard about the expulsion. You stole computer equipment.
00:18:38It was stupid. I said I was sorry.
00:18:40Someone told her form teacher, Cara Hollis.
00:18:43We thought she'd helped sort it out, but Cara told us still.
00:18:46No discussion, just out.
00:18:50For a kid who's never been any trouble before.
00:18:53I mean, we know what it's really about.
00:18:55Holly's very sporty.
00:18:56She was training for the school's national championships,
00:19:00but she's not academic as such.
00:19:03I'm really thick.
00:19:04Ah, that's not what she's saying.
00:19:07It's just Estelle was precious about those exam results.
00:19:12So the decision was taken by the headmistress?
00:19:15I don't know why Miss Hollis even thought she could tell her.
00:19:18I thought she was all right.
00:19:20But she was so fake.
00:19:22I forgot you, Holly.
00:19:24I'm always behind you.
00:19:25Always behind you.
00:19:30Are you sure you haven't been to the school today?
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Because there's graffiti on the wall of Cara Hollis's art room with that exact phrase.
00:19:42Not in green paint?
00:19:44Yes.
00:19:45You were washing green paint off your hands when you got home.
00:19:48She told me it was off a fence in the park.
00:19:50It was just a joke.
00:19:53I was there.
00:19:55Okay.
00:19:56But I didn't touch Estelle Hollis.
00:19:59Ask Dominic.
00:20:01Dominic was with you at the school?
00:20:03I went to see him after his talk.
00:20:06We were messing around in the staff room.
00:20:09But then we heard the police cars turn up.
00:20:11We made it out across the fields.
00:20:12We made it out across the fields.
00:20:42I didn't know if that's the only thing.
00:20:58Oh, Causton Grammar.
00:21:00Oh, yeah.
00:21:01I'm a teaching assistant.
00:21:03Ah.
00:21:03How do you find it there?
00:21:06Oh, um, I used to like it.
00:21:09Well, since Estelle started.
00:21:11there's a lot more politics now.
00:21:14What sort of thing?
00:21:15Everyone 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,
00:21:30but 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.
00:21:41Said it was all a misunderstanding and refused to speak about it ever since.
00:21:45Okay, well, thank you.
00:21:46If Cara Hallis does get in contact with anyone at the school,
00:21:49make sure she calls me straight away.
00:21:51Does Cara not know yet?
00:21:53Surely Tim called her.
00:21:55Everyone's calling her. No reply.
00:21:57Well, 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.
00:22:10Well, that was interesting.
00:22:14Follow-up on Felicity Crawford's movements,
00:22:17because 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.
00:22:26His sister, Moira, definitely downplayed how hostile things were.
00:22:29Deception 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.
00:22:43You're a kid's TV presenter.
00:22:58Yeah, guilty.
00:22:59What 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?
00:23:43There was a debate about sensitivity,
00:23:44rewrites in children's books,
00:23:46expunging references to characters being fat,
00:23:48censorship, 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.
00:23:59Where 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, Claire.
00:24:28I 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, well, 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 II.
00:24:42It's fascinating.
00:24:44I'll put it on my reading list.
00:24:46I tell you what,
00:24:46I did not enjoy being back in the head teacher's office again today.
00:24:51Traumatic memories.
00:24:52I loved school.
00:24:53We know you did, head girl.
00:24:55We're an elite breed.
00:24:59I thought you'd be much more likely to get expelled.
00:25:02How dare you?
00:25:03I was an excellent head girl.
00:25:05I liked the power.
00:25:07Oh, yes.
00:25:08I can totally see it now.
00:25:10It was him over there getting himself expelled.
00:25:15I was not expelled.
00:25:17I was suspended.
00:25:19What did you do?
00:25:20Oh, just stupid 14-year-old stuff.
00:25:22Such as?
00:25:25Come on.
00:25:27We will get it out of you.
00:25:31I can assure you, you won't.
00:25:33What?
00:25:34Promise to crash.
00:25:43Oh, no!
00:25:50Oh, no!
00:25:52Oh!
00:25:54Oh!
00:25:55Oh!
00:25:56Oh!
00:25:57Oh, no!
00:25:58Oh!
00:25:58Oh!
00:25:58Oh, my God!
00:25:59Oh!
00:25:59Oh, no!
00:26:00Oh!
00:26:00Oh!
00:26:01Oh!
00:26:01Oh!
00:26:02Hi.
00:26:12Um, it'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.
00:26:25Oh, nice, yeah.
00:26:26Why'd you steal these from me?
00:26:27I'm sorry.
00:26:29I just...
00:26:29The 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.
00:26:59I lost one to the door, please.
00:27:10Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:12Yeah.
00:27:12No.
00:27:21No.
00:27:22No.
00:27:22No.
00:27:23No.
00:27:24I don't know.
00:27:54I don't know.
00:28:24I don't know.
00:28:54I don't know.
00:28:55I don't know.
00:28:56I don't know.
00:28:57I don't know.
00:28:58Ta-da.
00:28:59Oh, thanks, sir.
00:29:00Oh.
00:29:01Yeah, I thought I'd get back into it.
00:29:02It's going to be good for relaxation.
00:29:03Oh, you'd actually justify it to me.
00:29:05I would just question whether green is your colour.
00:29:08I'm told that it brings out my eyes.
00:29:11Oh, so it does.
00:29:13I stand corrected.
00:29:15Shall we watch some footage of a murder again, then?
00:29:17That's what we get paid for.
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:20And I hope there'll be some kind of reflection or something, but there's nothing.
00:29:26Okay.
00:29:27Well, they've been very careful.
00:29:29Yeah.
00:29:30They're not precisely 5.48.
00:29:32Anything else to see?
00:29:33No, they have cameras at key locations.
00:29:34We're not everywhere.
00:29:35Okay.
00:29:36Oh, Dominic admitted to lying.
00:29:37He was worried about getting in trouble for the graffiti, apparently.
00:29:38And he thought that was worth lying for in a murder investigation.
00:29:39What did you make of Estelle's husband?
00:29:40His grief seemed genuine enough, and there's no financial motive.
00:29:41Oh, she's well off.
00:29:42And five rental properties between here and the Midlands.
00:29:43Yeah, but it all goes to college.
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:45I don't know.
00:29:46I don't know.
00:29:47I don't know.
00:29:48I don't know.
00:29:49I don't know.
00:29:50I don't know.
00:29:51I don't know.
00:29:52I don't know.
00:29:53I don't know.
00:29:54I don't know.
00:29:55I don't know.
00:29:56I don't know.
00:29:57I don't know.
00:29:58I don't know.
00:29:59I don't know.
00:30:00I don't know.
00:30:01Well, she's well off.
00:30:02And five rental properties between here and the Midlands.
00:30:05Yeah, 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.
00:30:11No.
00:30:12There's a text from her on Estelle's phone, though, sent Sunday night.
00:30:15Said 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.
00:30:29Traumatic aortic rupture.
00:30:32One clean stab.
00:30:33No hesitation.
00:30:36It's my pleasure.
00:30:38Any developments on our other case?
00:30:42What?
00:30:43What 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.
00:30:59Something involving nudity.
00:31:02Miles off.
00:31:04Miles and miles.
00:31:07You won't take it.
00:31:08Mr. Crawford!
00:31:09Tim!
00:31:10Oh, hi, Moira.
00:31:11Dominic has something to say.
00:31:13Yeah, hi.
00:31:14Sorry.
00:31:15Sorry for the damage to the staff room yesterday.
00:31:17It was me and Holly.
00:31:18Holly's the one who did the graffiti.
00:31:19He just didn't stop her.
00:31:20Well, sounds like we need to have a little chat.
00:31:21Right.
00:31:22Right.
00:31:23Yes.
00:31:24It really wasn't his fault.
00:31:25I'm sorry.
00:31:26What were you thinking?
00:31:27How does that possibly help your case?
00:31:28I know.
00:31:29I made it all worse.
00:31:30You can still help me.
00:31:31I don't think I can.
00:31:32Not now.
00:31:33Please.
00:31:34Please.
00:31:35Please.
00:31:36Are you kidding me?
00:31:37Don't want to right ow.
00:31:39Me?
00:31:40No, I am.
00:31:41I'm sure about your arrest shopper.
00:31:43It sounds like we need to have a little chat.
00:31:45Right.
00:31:46Yes.
00:31:47It really wasn't his fault.
00:31:48I'm sorry.
00:31:49What were you thinking?
00:31:50How does that possibly help your case?
00:31:52How does that possibly help your case?
00:31:53I know. I made it all worse.
00:31:56You can still help me.
00:31:57I don't think I can.
00:31:58Not now.
00:32:00Please.
00:32:08Any 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.
00:32:19She didn't take any of her yoga stuff?
00:32:21Well, she said they provided mats and everything.
00:32:26I thought you said she didn't tell you any details about the trip?
00:32:30Oh, yeah. No, she didn't. Just that.
00:32:34Just that one very specific thing?
00:32:39I can't do this. I'm feeling sick all the time.
00:32:45Look, there is no yoga retreat.
00:32:47She was supposed to fly to Boston Friday night, but she's disappeared.
00:32:53Why 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? Is Moira Mayhew involved in this?
00:33:05I 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.
00:33:10So you're selling fake books to collectors?
00:33:12It was just this one.
00:33:14The guy paid 70 grand, so he wanted it hand-delivered.
00:33:17She asked me to do it.
00:33:18How did Cara get involved?
00:33:21I didn't think about it until I agreed, but I...
00:33:24I 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.
00:33:37I've been calling and calling.
00:33:39It's like she's vanished off the face of the planet.
00:33:47Winter.
00:33:48Sorry I couldn't pick up.
00:33:49I had a feeling that Rhys Chapman was about to crack, and he did.
00:33:53Cara was never going on that yoga retreat.
00:33:56She was flying to Boston.
00:33:58Well, she didn't make it, sir.
00:34:00It's called Caretaker, found her body half an hour ago.
00:34:19It's definitely her.
00:34:22Driving license.
00:34:23No sign of her phone, though.
00:34:25This is all due to be collected today.
00:34:27Hello?
00:34:31We've got a huge depressed skull fracture.
00:34:34Rigour has completely dissipated.
00:34:37I'd say she's been dead for three or four days.
00:34:40Friday or Saturday?
00:34:42So she'd already been dead for days by the time her mother was killed.
00:34:46So the message about food poisoning is from the killer, just playing for time.
00:34:50These were in her jacket.
00:34:51They'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.
00:35:07That tells us she wasn't always in this position.
00:35:12She was in a seated position somewhere for at least 12 hours after death.
00:35:19Then moved to the locker.
00:35:21We're missing a crime scene.
00:35:22Well, given where she's been found, let's focus on the school.
00:35:27Contaminated by hundreds of kids, apparently.
00:35:30We'll just have to do what we can.
00:35:33That's us in Barcelona.
00:35:34We travelled round Europe together last summer, our grand tour.
00:35:44I always thought boyfriends come and go and whatever, but me and Cara, I thought she'd always be in my life.
00:35:53It's a huge loss.
00:35:57I'm sorry.
00:36:00Well, the main thing now is that he doesn't get away with it.
00:36:03Who?
00:36:05This guy, Pierce Mayhew.
00:36:08I know who he is.
00:36:11Cara 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, and she told Cara all these stories about him.
00:36:22Drunk on set, abusive to runners, massive creep.
00:36:27And Cara set up an anonymous account to share the stories.
00:36:30Did Pierce know it was Cara?
00:36:32He found out last week.
00:36:34And he came to the house looking for it.
00:36:36He only left when I threatened to call the police.
00:36:38Hold on.
00:36:39This, uh, this last post on Thursday, stay tuned, more to come.
00:36:52Any idea what that was?
00:36:53No, but he was freaking out about the press, like anyone remembers who he is.
00:36:59Were you aware that Cara was taking medication for panic attacks?
00:37:03No.
00:37:05She did get a prescription last year.
00:37:07She, uh, she saw an accident on a school trip, one of the instructors.
00:37:11I was worried about her popping pills, though.
00:37:13I thought she decided not to.
00:37:16I can't believe she didn't tell me that.
00:37:20She was my best friend.
00:37:31Winter?
00:37:32Well, sir, someone's given the art room a thorough bleaching.
00:37:35But there's some blood showing up by the door.
00:37:37They're testing the store cupboard now, and it's lighting up like a Christmas tree.
00:37:41So we know where her body was kept.
00:37:43Good work.
00:37:44Oh, one more thing, sir.
00:37:45She emailed Paul Randall on Wednesday saying that she would contact the driving agency if
00:37:49he didn't do it himself.
00:37:50Paul then asked for a meeting with her.
00:37:52Do we know if that meeting took place?
00:37:53No, he's not on the visitor log, but Rhys Chapman is.
00:37:57He's down as visiting Cara at 1.15 on Friday.
00:37:59That's the only entry I can find for him.
00:38:01Interesting.
00:38:02He 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.
00:38:13People spread rumours online all the time.
00:38:17Nobody's going to pay attention to Cara.
00:38:19You seem very sure about that.
00:38:21Look, I wish you could help.
00:38:24But I was sitting in that chair most of the weekend working on the next novel.
00:38:27Yes, 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?
00:38:34Like you did when Estelle was killed?
00:38:36Don't know what you mean.
00:38:38We spoke to the landlord of the Kyniston 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.
00:38:51You 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.
00:38:59I've been extremely foolish.
00:39:01I listened to Moira and that was a mistake.
00:39:03What's Moira got to do with this?
00:39:05Well, she was afraid I'd be a suspect.
00:39:07And with good reason, as it turns out.
00:39:09Anyway, her panic was infectious and she persuaded me to get myself an alibi in a populated place as soon as possible.
00:39:15So where were you really when Estelle was killed?
00:39:17Well, unhelpfully for all of us, I was sitting at that computer writing.
00:39:23A task I must get back to.
00:39:24Well, if there's nothing else.
00:39:28Nothing for now.
00:39:30You're probably safe to take Pete off your Christmas card list, though.
00:39:33My grandmother had it and she lived right into her 80s, so we know it's not a death sentence.
00:39:45But still, MS.
00:39:46It's not what you want to hear.
00:39:50Of course.
00:39:52And 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 what if I need a test to keep my license?
00:40:01I want to need all the work lined up first.
00:40:03He's been keeping the driving to a minimum.
00:40:05But 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.
00:40:17And it's my fault, Karen.
00:40:18I know.
00:40:19I told her about Dad's diagnosis back when I thought I could trust her.
00:40:22Before I killed her.
00:40:23That is.
00:40:24Obviously.
00:40:26Holly.
00:40:26That's a sick joke to make.
00:40:27Why would you say that?
00:40:28Why else are they here, though?
00:40:30They don't care about your health.
00:40:32Or 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.
00:40:41It's okay.
00:40:42We'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.
00:40:52And Saturday, Paul was at the shops and me and Holly were doing the garden.
00:40:55It's Blake Anderson you should be talking to.
00:40:58His wife and stepdaughter are both dead.
00:41:00And 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.
00:41:07Like I honestly thought it was going to hit me.
00:41:10I was just trying to give him some flowers.
00:41:12When was this?
00:41:13Last night.
00:41:15So instead of harassing my disabled dad,
00:41:18perhaps you could ask Blake why he has anger issues.
00:41:21And then you could leave us alone.
00:41:34What were you looking at?
00:41:48Holly?
00:41:49Holly?
00:41:58hoi!
00:41:58hoi!
00:41:58hoi!
00:41:59hoi!
00:42:02hoi!
00:42:03Oh, my God.
00:42:33Oh, is that Estelle's academic work?
00:42:38No, photos from her phone, just checking I'm not missing anything.
00:42:43It 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.
00:42:51Estelle was a historian. What would that have to do with knitting?
00:42:54Remember I said that she'd written about female spies in World War II?
00:42:59I remember everything you say.
00:43:01Well, sometimes they use knitting to hide messages.
00:43:05So they'd do sequences of smooth stitches and then raised stitches, like that, and it would spell out words.
00:43:11In Morse code.
00:43:13One of the spies was called Phyllis Latour.
00:43:15Well, hang on. Phyllis Latour? This artwork is called Ooh La La Tour.
00:43:21Well, unless it's Ooh La La Tour, in which case she wasn't learning to knit, she 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.
00:43:32And I know just the man.
00:43:33Is everything okay with Holly?
00:43:52Mm-hmm. She's fine.
00:43:54I wanted to speak to you.
00:43:59Look, I'm her mother, aren't I?
00:44:02So I love her, no matter what.
00:44:05Okay.
00:44:06And you love her too.
00:44:08Enough to want to protect her.
00:44:10I think you know what I'm asking you, Dominic.
00:44:16I need you to tell me the truth.
00:44:30Oh, that's great.
00:44:31What does it say?
00:44:33You're kidding, Ryan. This is going to take me ages.
00:44:35I have the utmost faith in you.
00:44:36Anything more overnight?
00:44:37Oh, yes. 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, lived 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.
00:45:00Okay. Mother and daughter both killed on school grounds. Kara was killed first, so presumably it all starts with her.
00:45:07Last sighting of Kara was 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. She 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.
00:45:41So, Felicity lied about where she was when Estelle was killed.
00:45:46I'd like to talk to her about that, and about the stafferim gossip surrounding her husband and Kara.
00:45:53What's going on here? Come on.
00:45:56Come on. Come on. Come on.
00:45:58I did sort of twink that Kara had a crush on me.
00:46:06Did I do enough to discourage it?
00:46:08Probably not.
00:46:09It was 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?
00:46:54I went to see a psychotherapist.
00:46:59That's not what you said before.
00:47:00I lied because Tim was there.
00:47:03And 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.
00:47:15That is one complicated marriage.
00:47:20See if the therapist backs her up.
00:47:22Sir, there's been a new voicemail left on Estelle's mobile.
00:47:25It's from Dominic's university cheater.
00:47:27Apparently got himself kicked out.
00:47:29Estelle was trying to help.
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.
00:47:54Maybe 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.
00:48:04I 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,
00:48:25you'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, but I didn't do anything.
00:48:34You told us that you just knocked on the office door,
00:48:36that 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 I mess things up.
00:48:50It's what I do.
00:48:52Because 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 Cara'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.
00:49:34I'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,
00:49:57not Blake Anderson at all.
00:50:00What do you mean?
00:50:00Well, 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.
00:50:17That's not difficult.
00:50:19I don't know why you always make such a song and dance about it.
00:50:23Oh, no.
00:50:24Oh, no.
00:50:24It took me a long time to believe that she liked me,
00:50:37because 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,
00:50:48and that made me think I could back myself, you know?
00:50:51What about Cara? Did she know?
00:50:54We told her we met online.
00:50:56You should have been up front with us from the beginning.
00:51:00I 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.
00:51:17Where were you over the weekend?
00:51:23At home, with Estelle.
00:51:27But I can only give you my word for that,
00:51:29and I know that's not worth much.
00:51:31In light of Cara's death,
00:51:33your 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
00:51:44who knew every last bit of me
00:51:46and 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
00:51:55is what I've lost.
00:51:56Oh.
00:52:10You're, uh, Dominic's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:15And, uh, what do you want?
00:52:18Money.
00:52:25Package?
00:52:26No, it's for the guys at the station
00:52:30helping me with this knitted artwork.
00:52:33And, wow.
00:52:36These stitches in the speech bubble
00:52:39are 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
00:52:51to Phyllis Latour
00:52:52and cracked the code
00:52:54only to discover it was about her own daughter.
00:52:56And if Estelle told Cara
00:52:58then that would make sense
00:52:59of the message
00:53:00that she sent her mother
00:53:02on 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.
00:53:09So you think Cara
00:53:09was planning to confront Rhys?
00:53:12Well, it could be why
00:53:12he visited the school on Friday.
00:53:14She asked him to talk
00:53:15and then she rejected him
00:53:16and he snapped.
00:53:18You've got killed for less.
00:53:19Sir.
00:53:21Sir.
00:53:28Bye.
00:53:29Bye-bye.
00:53:29Oh, my God.
00:53:59Both 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?
00:54:21Yeah, if you need to.
00:54:24I've got things to do upstairs.
00:54:28Shall we go through there?
00:54:29Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:54:35It'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. Do 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.
00:54:56You were in love with Kara.
00:54:59You couldn't tell her, so you poured it into your art.
00:55:03But Estelle spotted the Latour reference, didn't she?
00:55:06It all came out last week.
00:55:16Because 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.
00:55:35It was awful.
00:55:36Is that why you visited Kara at school on Friday?
00:55:38I just needed to make things right before she got on the plane.
00:55:43And she said we were good, but we weren't.
00:55:47I 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.
00:56:10Kara 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.
00:56:20Turned 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 oven?
00:56:38What?
00:56:40Fifty chickens in the staff room.
00:56:43A 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.
00:57:20The 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.
00:57:53I sometimes wonder if that conversation was the reason I became a police officer.
00:58:01That's actually really nice.
00:58:06I 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've sent it to the lab for DNA.
00:58:32Sorry, I'm late.
00:58:33Felicity's therapist called.
00:58:35She was with him when Estelle was killed.
00:58:37But 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?
00:58:59Well, he wouldn't say, client 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?
00:59:24And for Felicity, she...
00:59:26Well, she takes things without pain.
00:59:32Shotlifting.
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...
00:59:49When 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.
01:00:01Summer 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.
01:00:13Well, that doesn't mean anything, does it?
01:00:15You know that Felicity didn't kill Estelle.
01:00:17She 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 this university business.
01:00:42Since when did you take the slightest interest in Dominic?
01:00:47Since he and his girlfriend took an interest in me.
01:00:58Really good.
01:00:59Well done.
01:00:59Really good.
01:01:00Really good.
01:01:06I've got a surprise for you from your uncle.
01:01:25Dominic?
01:01:25Don!
01:01:27Don!
01:01:39No!
01:01:40Oh!
01:01:41No!
01:01:45Jordan!
01:01:48Oh!
01:01:49Oh my god!
01:01:53No!
01:01:53No!
01:01:54Oh!
01:01:54No!
01:01:54No!
01:01:55No!
01:01:55No!
01:01:55No!
01:01:56No!
01:01:56There's nothing obviously missing, as far as Moira can tell.
01:02:18She can barely speak.
01:02:20The knitting needle hit the carotid artery.
01:02:22Massive blood loss, triggering brain hypoxia.
01:02:27Moira said that the shop was closed.
01:02:29This has got to be linked to the break-in, surely?
01:02:31No sign of forced entry this time, and no obvious struggle.
01:02:35Dominic led them in. He trusted them.
01:02:37Well, they had their own keys.
01:02:39Besides Dominic and Moira, that leaves recent peers.
01:02:52What'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.
01:03:14Is it still somewhere in the flat?
01:03:15I'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.
01:03:33He 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.
01:03:40Piers doesn't write his own books.
01:03:44He stole them.
01:03:46Me and Dominic started blackmailing him about it.
01:03:50Hmm.
01:03:52What do you mean, he stole them?
01:03:55It was years ago.
01:03:57Dominic came across these old notebooks in the bottom of a box in the shop.
01:04:01They belonged to some lecturer who died.
01:04:04A maths lecturer?
01:04:06Um, Terence McGregor?
01:04:08Yeah.
01:04:10That's it.
01:04:11Um...
01:04:13They were full of these handwritten stories.
01:04:18Dominic got really into them.
01:04:20Piers had a look and wanted to borrow them.
01:04:23Who else knew about this?
01:04:26Piers gave Dominic £500 to keep quiet.
01:04:30Then Dominic told me.
01:04:32And when Cara got into the whole thing with Piers online, I told her.
01:04:37Was Cara threatening to go public?
01:04:40She said she needed to check it was true first.
01:04:45I went to see him yesterday.
01:04:47You went to blackmail him?
01:04:49He agreed to pay for a few things.
01:04:52As long as we kept quiet.
01:04:56So excited to tell him.
01:04:58But now what if I've got him killed?
01:05:01The only person responsible for Dominic's death is the person who killed him.
01:05:05No sign of that globe.
01:05:06Moira said that she was collecting things at the shop for the PTA jumble sale.
01:05:18It came in as a donation.
01:05:20Cara saw it, said that she liked it and asked Moira to put it aside for her.
01:05:23Wait a minute.
01:05:25So Cara showed an interest in this globe and 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. Why?
01:05:35Logically, there would be two options.
01:05:38They wanted it themselves or they wanted to stop someone else getting hold of it.
01:05:42In which case, what have they done with it? Hidden it? Disposed of it?
01:05:45Get Uniform to have a look round just in the immediate area in case they dumped it straight away.
01:05:50In the meantime, I have some questions for Piers Mayhew, Midsummer's premier plagiarist, apparently.
01:06:00What globe?
01:06:01I've been sitting here the whole time writing. It's what I do.
01:06:05Hmm. The new novel. How's that going?
01:06:09Slowly.
01:06:12I'd like you to read this, please.
01:06:14I know what it says.
01:06:26These stories. None of them are yours.
01:06:31You stole them.
01:06:32I used the material as a springboard, that's all.
01:06:35It's plagiarism.
01:06:37But as you like stories.
01:06:39Once upon a time, Dominic told Holly that you stole your novels.
01:06:44Holly told Cara and she was going to tell the world only before she had a chance.
01:06:49She was killed.
01:06:51This is absurd. I did not do this.
01:06:54Plot twist. Cara told her mother, Estelle.
01:06:57And she was killed too.
01:07:03If you have evidence to arrest me, go ahead.
01:07:07Otherwise this little storytelling session is over.
01:07:10Here's has to be top of our list. Estelle, Cara and Dominic were blowing his world apart between them.
01:07:26I don't suppose that globe's turned up?
01:07:28No. Uniform checked the wheelie bins, the public litter bins, the park.
01:07:32What?
01:07:33What?
01:07:34I walked past that fencing a few hours ago. It wasn't pulled open like that.
01:07:38What?
01:07:40Are you serious?
01:07:42I'm serious.
01:07:44Okay, fine.
01:07:49I really should have stopped buying new suits.
01:07:52With respect, sir, this is a complete waste of...
01:07:57Hold on.
01:07:58You were saying?
01:07:59That your hunches are always right, sir.
01:08:09A prize for academic excellence presented to Timothy Hillary Crawford, year eight, by Mr. Vincent Bell,
01:08:27headmaster.
01:08:30This is Tim Crawford's globe.
01:08:32Tim's?
01:08:33From when he was at school?
01:08:35Okay.
01:08:37But if this was in the PTA donations, then why did Cara 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.
01:08:54That's the school trip Tim organized in the Lake District.
01:08:58And the man who died was his old headmaster.
01:09:01Cara witnessed the accident on that school trip, too.
01:09:04Reece said that's what started her panic attacks.
01:09:07Was she aware that the man she saw die was Tim's headmaster?
01:09:09Was it only seeing this globe that told her that?
01:09:14Come on.
01:09:18He was just a random old guy helping out at the center.
01:09:22But Cara 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?
01:09:30What? No, 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 Cara 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.
01:09:48So Tim never let on that he knew Vincent Bell.
01:10:00And then Cara 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...
01:10:15But it can't be Tim, though, can it?
01:10:16We have him on video when Estelle was murdered.
01:10:18And even 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.
01:10:40Two minutes before Estelle is killed.
01:10:43You could run from Tim's classroom to Estelle's office in that time.
01:10:47Tim said he was having technical issues.
01:10:50You know, it's possible that all the footage we're seeing after it cuts out was pre-filmed.
01:10:57Go to the bit with the javelin.
01:10:58Go to the bit with the javelin.
01:11:04Look at the timestamp.
01:11:06It's not 5.48 in a few seconds, it's 5.48 on the absolute dart.
01:11:12He timed the javelin to coordinate with his faked reaction on the pre-filmed footage.
01:11:20So you go on my whistle!
01:11:25Mr. Crawford.
01:11:30We haven't informed the students yet.
01:11:33Doesn't feel real, does it?
01:11:35I mean...
01:11:37Who wanted to hurt Dominic?
01:11:39Who indeed?
01:11:41I believe this belongs to you.
01:11:43Why don't you tell us about Vincent Bell?
01:11:49Or Mr. Bell, as I suppose he was to you.
01:11:52Being your headmaster.
01:11:54I don't want to talk about him.
01:11:57Not here.
01:12:07We know what you did.
01:12:09We 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.
01:12:52You know...
01:12:54The day that I won that...
01:12:57He said it made me conceited.
01:13:00He made me...
01:13:03Take off my socks and shoes...
01:13:07And run 20 laps around the school.
01:13:12And when he saw that my feet were bleeding...
01:13:15Do 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...
01:13:28There he was.
01:13:33It was recorded as an abseiling accident.
01:13:37Yeah, he was.
01:13:39He was setting up a line so he was close to the edge.
01:13:43Excuse me.
01:13:45Do you have to keep...
01:13:46Hello, Timothy.
01:13:52I thought I recognised the name.
01:13:55I was back there.
01:13:58A 13-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.
01:14:14Clear.
01:14:20Now the only way for a man like Vincent Bell to face consequences...
01:14:25Was for a man like me to make him.
01:14:28But Cara saw it.
01:14:33Cara...
01:14:37She saw something.
01:14:39I...
01:14:40I 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,
01:15:04it was like this grenade was out there waiting to go off.
01:15:06I couldn't track it down.
01:15:07Cara spotted it in the donations at the shop.
01:15:11And she 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 lie about that.
01:15:28I'm sorry!
01:15:29Where are you going?
01:15:31Cara, please!
01:15:35She 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.
01:15:43You knew they were going to the tip.
01:15:45But what if she'd confided in someone else?
01:15:48I 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.
01:16:04It was about her friend Rhys.
01:16:06It had nothing to do with you.
01:16:09How 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.
01:16:29Do you have any idea how difficult it is to secure a speaker like Piers Mayhew?
01:16:35He is your brother.
01:16:36Was it that difficult to book him?
01:16:40He is the regent's best-selling children's offer.
01:16:44Given his recent adverse 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.
01:17:01And as a PTA head, I am entitled to call an American...
01:17:04...and a motor.
01:17:05It is.
01:17:07It is.
01:17:08It is.
01:17:09It is.
01:17:11It is.
01:17:13It is.
01:17:15It is.
01:17:17It is.
01:17:19It is.
01:17:20It is.
01:17:21Call an ambulance!
01:17:22But the incriminating glow was still out there.
01:17:25That was you.
01:17:26The break-in at Moira's shop.
01:17:27Trying 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.
01:17:37In the staff room.
01:17:38I never told them my middle name.
01:17:41You were afraid that he'd work it out.
01:17:44He knew about the incident on the school trip.
01:17:46Everyone did.
01:17:49There you go.
01:17:51Oh, thanks.
01:17:53Presented to Timothy Hillary Crawford.
01:17:57Year eight by Mr. Vincent Bell, headmaster.
01:18:00Imagine going through school with the middle name Hillary.
01:18:02Vincent Bell.
01:18:04I knew I heard that name.
01:18:07That old guy who died on the Year 12 trip.
01:18:10Was it?
01:18:11I can't remember now.
01:18:13Yeah, it definitely was.
01:18:15Bell's a pretty common name.
01:18:17But the Vincent Bell who died was a retired teacher.
01:18:21It said so in the papers.
01:18:23Sir, why would you say you didn't know?
01:18:28You killed him.
01:18:30Nineteen years old.
01:18:33I didn't want to.
01:18:36I just thought if I could get the globe back.
01:18:39You murdered Cara, Estelle and Dominic to cover up the truth about Vincent Bell's death.
01:18:45Where was this going to end?
01:18:47Holly Randall saw that globe too.
01:18:49Was she next?
01:18:56A week ago.
01:18:59That was me.
01:19:01A good teacher.
01:19:02A 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.
01:19:21And I did do better.
01:19:27I don't understand how I let this happen.
01:19:29I don't want to let this happen.
01:19:30I don't want to let this happen.
01:19:31Sir, Sir.
01:20:02Almost left this in the office.
01:20:09Oh, thank you. That's great.
01:20:11Oh, it's brilliant.
01:20:12Revel.
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.
01:20:31It's okay. I haven't come to interrogate you.
01:20:39I just thought you might be feeling like you've messed up and 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?
01:20:48Something incredibly stupid that I did when I was around your age involving a sports field and a bottle of weed killer.
01:20:59Well, I don't get it.
01:21:01What was it?
01:21:02Well, it turned out it was the making of me.
01:21:09All right.
01:21:11Come on in.
01:21:12Just once around the block?
01:21:22Yeah.
01:21:23As long as he gets a decent walk at lunchtime, he'll be fine.
01:21:25What do you look like, eh?
01:21:28No, sorry about that.
01:21:29I'll get the next round in.
01:21:30There's no need.
01:21:31It's on Jamie.
01:21:32Ah!
01:21:32Who will also be dog-sitting next weekend, jet-washing the patio, and helping you trim that edge.
01:21:40Because...
01:21:40We broke a deal.
01:21:43Everything tells me this is bad.
01:21:46So I finally went through the boxes in the shed, and it turns out your mother kept it.
01:21:53The local paper with a full-page spread detailing your little teenage incident that led to your suspension.
01:22:02Nobody 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.
01:22:18I mean, the sheer scale of this artwork.
01:22:22Anatomically correct?
01:22:23Yes.
01:22:23I mean, you can see it from space.
01:22:25It did take me quite a while.
01:22:28This is amazing.
01:22:29This might be the greatest day of my life.
01:22:38Yes.
01:22:38Yes.
01:22:47Yes.
01:22:54Yes.
01:22:55Yes.
01:22:55Yes.
01:22:57Yes.
01:22:58Yes.
01:22:59Oh, why is this...
01:22:59...
01:23:00...
01:23:00...
01:23:01Mr.
01:23:01Yes.
01:23:02Is this...
01:23:03...
01:23:03...
01:23:03...
01:23:04...
01:23:04...
