00:00:00I'm just letting people in as they arrive.
00:00:03Any chance of actually starting this thing on time?
00:00:06Yeah, it's only just quarter to you, Moira.
00:00:09I can't see you.
00:00:10Hi there.
00:00:11Hi Moira.
00:00:12I said I can't see you.
00:00:14Oh, really?
00:00:15Um, not you, Estelle.
00:00:18Hi.
00:00:19Yes, I just need to...
00:00:23Hi.
00:00:24Hello.
00:00:25Okay.
00:00:26Welcome everyone to this slightly unusual meeting of Causton Grammar Parent Teacher Association.
00:00:33Due to the unfortunate way things ended last time, the decision was taken to move online.
00:00:40My hope is that we can communicate more constructively this time.
00:00:46Constructive criticism surely involves listening, not cancelling events unilaterally with no consultation, no real evidence.
00:00:55This issue, which you're referring to, is on the agenda, Moira.
00:01:00But first, I'm going to hand over to our Deputy Head, Mr Crawford, for some housekeeping.
00:01:05Hi there, everyone.
00:01:06My connection's a bit dodgy, but hopefully we're going to be okay.
00:01:10So the minutes from our last meeting have been reviewed, and, um, well...
00:01:14Yeah, whatever, get on with it.
00:01:16Sorry.
00:01:17Really sorry.
00:01:18No, no, I'm not sitting through all of this.
00:01:20We need to talk about Holly.
00:01:22Well, we've got a meeting that's in the diary next week to discuss Holly.
00:01:25Every day she's excluded is another day she's missing her education.
00:01:29All her training for the athletic trials, it's just not fair.
00:01:32It's not lawful.
00:01:33I understand you're upset, but this isn't the appropriate forum.
00:01:37Appropriate forum?
00:01:39Waste of time!
00:01:41Um, perhaps we should move on to item one on the agenda.
00:01:49Um, cancellation of PTA fundraising event, a Q&A with Piers Mayhew.
00:01:55Um.
00:01:56Any thoughts?
00:01:57Oh, here we go.
00:01:58Do we have to?
00:01:59Well, if you could please keep yourself on mute, unless you have something constructive.
00:02:03I'm sure you would love to mute me, Mr Crawford, but as Chairwoman of the PTA, I am entitled to have my say.
00:02:09Go for it, Moira.
00:02:11Counselling an event at such short notice is an insult to the work of this committee.
00:02:18Do you have any idea how difficult it is to secure a speaker like Piers Mayhew?
00:02:24He is your brother.
00:02:26Meaning?
00:02:27Was it that difficult to book him?
00:02:30He is the region's best-selling children's author.
00:02:33Given his recent outbursts on social media, I simply don't see how we can go ahead.
00:02:38Well, that's not what you were saying until Cara got involved.
00:02:41Where is she, anyway?
00:02:42She's off sick.
00:02:43She'll be in tomorrow.
00:02:44How convenient.
00:02:45I cannot allow you to keep derailing these meetings, Moira.
00:02:50If this continues, you will be ejected from this call.
00:02:53Derailing?
00:02:54I stayed on as PTA head as an act of goodwill because nobody else would do it.
00:03:00And we appreciate it.
00:03:01Item two of the agenda.
00:03:03Second-hand uniform sale.
00:03:06And, as a PTA head, I am entitled to call an emergency meeting.
00:03:11It says so in the Constitution.
00:03:12Second-hand uniform sale.
00:03:15Have you read the PTA rules because they ve-
00:03:18Okay.
00:03:19Er, I have muted you, Moira.
00:03:21I'm so sorry.
00:03:22Er, there can be no further-
00:03:23A scale?
00:03:26Good ambulance!
00:03:31Happy?
00:03:32Yeah.
00:03:33Looks brilliant.
00:03:34Mmm.
00:03:35That smells incredible.
00:03:36We've got butter chicken, lamb skewers, and dog.
00:03:39Oh.
00:03:40Oh, and you think you're getting some, do you?
00:03:42Well, you're out of luck because nobody wants to deal with the aftermath of that.
00:03:45We're just setting Paddy up to take the blame for you.
00:03:48That's an outrageous accusation.
00:03:49I don't know what you're talking about.
00:03:51See?
00:03:52He is home on time.
00:03:53What's that?
00:03:54Mum said you're unreliable.
00:03:56Hold on.
00:03:57I didn't say Dad was unreliable.
00:03:58I said sometimes his job, me-
00:04:04Yeah, Winton?
00:04:06Ryan?
00:04:10Okay.
00:04:11See you there.
00:04:12Oh, you're kidding.
00:04:13Dad, er.
00:04:15If I ever get married, it will not be to a policeman.
00:04:19I've never been dead even earlier until today.
00:04:22Bye.
00:04:23Will they be dead for us?
00:04:25Rogan?
00:04:28All right.
00:04:29Huh how about a micelle?
00:04:32noch they verdi for you?
00:04:34Griffin.
00:04:35I have not heard of them.
00:04:36Um, don'tlow they goocracy.
00:04:38The next household is killing his sperm.
00:04:4452, headteacher. She was running a PTA meeting online when she was killed.
00:04:48She was killed on camera?
00:04:50In front of a dozen people. No one saw anything, though.
00:04:52The killer must have stayed low and out of shot.
00:05:00That looks like a javelin.
00:05:03It is.
00:05:05The angle suggests it was an upward-stabbing motion from lowdown.
00:05:10You won't need my help with time of death.
00:05:16It's on camera at 5.48, precisely.
00:05:19After-school clubs finish at 5pm and then the school's locked and only the staff have the code.
00:05:25Next, have Kim been notified?
00:05:27Yeah, we're trying.
00:05:28There's a husband, Blake Anderson.
00:05:31He runs the bike shop in town, but he's not picking up his phone.
00:05:34And then there's a daughter, Cara.
00:05:36She's an art teacher here, but also uncontactable.
00:05:39Apparently she's off sick today.
00:05:41I assume curry nights, Kenton?
00:05:43No, no, please go. They've gone to so much effort.
00:05:46You could get them to save some for me. Lamb skewers or something.
00:05:49Lamb skewers?
00:05:54Maybe just a naan.
00:05:55The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:06:14This must have been planned.
00:06:15They knew you should be on that call and you should be wearing headphones.
00:06:19I wouldn't hear them coming.
00:06:21And there's something else.
00:06:22This classroom belongs to the victim's daughter, Cara.
00:06:32It's an interesting message, right?
00:06:36Always behind you.
00:06:42Not fully dry.
00:06:44This is recent.
00:06:46Who was first on the scene?
00:06:47Tim Crawford, deputy head.
00:06:53DCI Barnaby.
00:06:54Were you on the video call?
00:06:56I did it from my classroom, just down the corridor.
00:06:58Did you see anybody?
00:07:00No.
00:07:00I ran over straight away, but...
00:07:03By the time I got...
00:07:05I'm sorry.
00:07:06Is there somewhere we can talk?
00:07:07I start from just here.
00:07:08Oh, uh, sorry, uh, end of year prank, I guess.
00:07:20Is this graffiti new?
00:07:21What's that?
00:07:22Oh, yes, uh, Hillary.
00:07:27Yeah, yeah, the kids love it when they find out my middle name.
00:07:30What kind of headteacher was Estelle?
00:07:32Well, she's ambitious, which is not a bad thing, but...
00:07:35I'll put it this way.
00:07:36She expelled more pupils in two years than the last head did in 12.
00:07:40Anyone recently?
00:07:41Holly Randall, last week.
00:07:44Her parents are appealing it.
00:07:45There was a Paul and Josephine Randall on the video call list you gave me.
00:07:48Yeah, that's them.
00:07:49Paul, he stormed out at the beginning, but Josie, she was on for the whole call.
00:07:53How far away do they live?
00:07:54Just over the road.
00:07:56What was Holly expelled for?
00:07:58Um, she...
00:07:59Tim!
00:08:00You okay?
00:08:01Yeah, yeah, um, where are the girls?
00:08:03Oh, they're in the car.
00:08:04We were at their ballet lesson.
00:08:07Oh, sorry.
00:08:08Um, I'm Felicity, I'm the school receptionist.
00:08:10Um, they were just asking about Holly Randall.
00:08:12Well, surely no one's blaming her for this.
00:08:14I mean, well, she's made some silly mistakes, but...
00:08:16What kind of mistakes?
00:08:18She stole a brand new tablet from the ICT class and sold it online.
00:08:21She was trying to get money to go on the year 12 residential,
00:08:24which is way too expensive now.
00:08:26Yeah, well, we can't use that place in the Lake District anymore, can we?
00:08:29Health and safety nightmare.
00:08:31Have you told them about the situation with Piers?
00:08:34Piers?
00:08:35No.
00:08:36Uh, Piers Mayhew.
00:08:37Um, he's the brother of our PTA chairwoman, Moira.
00:08:42He was meant to do a fundraiser for us, but...
00:08:44Well, he...
00:08:46He got a bit provocative on social media.
00:08:49He's a misogynist and a troll.
00:08:52Unfortunately for him, one of the women he targeted was Estelle's daughter, Cara.
00:08:56She persuaded her mother to cancel his event, and he wasn't very happy about it.
00:09:00No, neither was Moira.
00:09:01She threw a chair at them when she found out last Friday.
00:09:03That's why we were at the meeting online today.
00:09:05Have you managed to contact Cara?
00:09:07Um, I've left messages.
00:09:08She was on a yoga retreat in Snowdonia over the weekend.
00:09:12Um, she did text Estelle to say that she was sick, so...
00:09:15She might not have traveled back yet.
00:09:18She was going on about some kind of digital detox.
00:09:21Very into that sort of thing.
00:09:24We'll be in touch about opening the school tomorrow.
00:09:26Certain areas obviously will remain off-limits.
00:09:29Yep.
00:09:30Yep, of course.
00:09:30Um, DCI Barnaby?
00:09:35I don't know if this is important, but, um, when I was leaving today,
00:09:39Moira's grandson, Dominic, was hanging around outside Estelle's office.
00:09:43Well, he would have given a talk to the sixth form about starting university.
00:09:47Well, yes, but that was finished by 3.30, though.
00:09:49I saw him at four.
00:09:50Look, I don't want to cause any problems.
00:09:52He's a great kid, but, um, it's just he looked pretty upset.
00:09:57What do you mean by the other side?
00:10:01What do you mean by the other side?
00:10:02I don't think I said.
00:10:27We used to live next door
00:10:36And when my daughter died
00:10:37When I was going through all the guardianship stuff for Dominic
00:10:40She held me together
00:10:42This must be very difficult
00:10:44I was shouting at her when it happened
00:10:46About stupid things
00:10:48Things that don't even matter
00:10:50Go ahead
00:10:50It's okay
00:10:51We heard about an incident in a meeting last Friday
00:10:54With a chair
00:10:56Who told you that
00:10:59I'd had enough
00:11:00That's all
00:11:01Karen had a book quantificating
00:11:03The chair was in my way so I moved it
00:11:06A bit too hard
00:11:08Sorry
00:11:11I don't see how all this is relevant
00:11:15I mean surely you're not accusing me
00:11:17I was on the video call
00:11:19You visited the school earlier
00:11:21Is that right
00:11:22I did a talk
00:11:23Yeah
00:11:23How to succeed at university
00:11:25Dominic was head boy
00:11:27He's now on a very competitive course
00:11:29Did you see Estelle Hallis?
00:11:32No
00:11:33Are you sure?
00:11:34A witness saw you outside her office at around 4pm
00:11:37Gran wanted me to nag her about this book event with Pierce
00:11:40I knocked
00:11:41And she didn't answer
00:11:43So I left
00:11:44The witness said that you looked upset
00:11:45I wasn't
00:11:47I thought you went in until tomorrow
00:11:54I thought you weren't in
00:11:56Have you seen it out there?
00:11:59There's like 20 police cars at the school
00:12:01These gentlemen are the police
00:12:03Oh
00:12:04Right
00:12:05Uh
00:12:06Reese Chapman
00:12:06She's the dusty old book
00:12:08Some of the fabulous textiles
00:12:09It's Estelle Hallis
00:12:11She's been murdered
00:12:11What?
00:12:13Seriously?
00:12:14Seriously
00:12:14Stabbed to death with a javelin
00:12:16That's not how you tell people
00:12:18That's how you told me
00:12:19Does Kara know?
00:12:20We're trying to get hold of her
00:12:21Yeah
00:12:21She's not been picking up all weekend
00:12:23She's my housemate
00:12:24We were told she's on a yoga retreat in Wales
00:12:26Yeah
00:12:27But
00:12:27She should be back
00:12:28This is going to destroy her
00:12:31They were really close
00:12:33I'm sorry
00:12:35Do you mind
00:12:35Did Estelle ever talk about her marriage?
00:12:42She seemed happy enough
00:12:44You don't like Blake?
00:12:45Don't trust him
00:12:46I don't know
00:12:47There's just
00:12:48Something
00:12:49Holly says he's alright
00:12:50My girlfriend
00:12:52She works a Saturday job at his bike shop
00:12:54Is that Holly Randall?
00:12:57Yeah
00:12:57So she works with Estelle's husband?
00:13:01Okay
00:13:01Well I've left my number
00:13:03Do call if Kara gets in touch
00:13:05It's unusual
00:13:17It's all my own work
00:13:20We run knitting sessions on Thursdays
00:13:22Everyone's welcome
00:13:22No my grand taught me to know the school holidays
00:13:25But I couldn't do it now
00:13:27Well
00:13:27You never lose it
00:13:29It's like riding a big woolly bike
00:13:30Thanks
00:13:34Please don't be shy Winter
00:13:41I'd love a nice scarf
00:13:42Yeah hello
00:13:44Okay tell him to stay put
00:13:48I'll get DS Winter over there now
00:13:49Thanks
00:13:50Who was that?
00:13:52They've located Estelle's husband at the bike shop
00:13:56You go over there and see what you make of him
00:13:57While I talk to the girl who was expelled
00:13:59Only try not to needle him
00:14:03What?
00:14:05You see you've got to unravel the whole case
00:14:07Before you can knit it back together
00:14:09But don't let him pull the wool over your eyes
00:14:15Lunchboxes on the table and PE kits in the wash please
00:14:26Please
00:14:27Lucy seemed freaked out by all the police
00:14:32Wasn't sure what to say
00:14:33Oh come on
00:14:37Again?
00:14:38You promised that you would check next time before donating things
00:14:43That must stuff from the attic?
00:14:45Your older wards from school are still going on about that
00:14:48A tidy house helps me cope
00:14:50What's this?
00:14:53And these?
00:14:55You know what they are
00:14:57What are you doing?
00:14:58What are you doing?
00:14:59What are you doing?
00:15:11He said he waited
00:15:12You didn't turn up
00:15:13There was a bit of a problem
00:15:14I didn't want to worry you about it
00:15:16What's such a problem?
00:15:21Rhys
00:15:21Okay
00:15:22Look
00:15:22Don't freak out
00:15:24But
00:15:24Kara is not on a yoga retreat in Wales
00:15:44Because in progress
00:15:45You didn't turn up
00:16:14I'd keep my phone off on the bike, so when I turned it back on, all the missed calls,
00:16:24I knew it was bad. I think I...
00:16:28Can I see her? Because I think I need to, for it to feel real.
00:16:35We can arrange that, of course.
00:16:37Were you cycling with anyone today?
00:16:40I was on my own, up in the Johns.
00:16:43How long had you been married?
00:16:45Um, eight years next month. Second time lucky for both of us.
00:16:49What's the situation with Estelle's first husband?
00:16:52Left when Cara was a baby.
00:16:54How did you meet?
00:16:57Online.
00:17:00She was teaching in Nottingham, but she always wanted to move back to Midsomer,
00:17:05so when she got the headmistress job, we came down here.
00:17:09We were told that she expelled a lot of students. Did that make her any enemies?
00:17:13No. It's not like she ever abandoned the kids. She'd go out of her way to find them places at another school.
00:17:20Somewhere they could start again.
00:17:22She was friends with Moira Mayhew, is that right?
00:17:26Was. Yeah.
00:17:27She phoned on Saturday, going ballistic about this book event.
00:17:33Estelle put her on speaker, and the language coming out.
00:17:37No. Seriously.
00:17:39She might be getting on, but she scares the hell out of me.
00:17:44So, Josie, you were on the call right until the end, but, Paul, you left a couple of minutes in.
00:18:00I'd had enough.
00:18:02I took myself outside to calm down.
00:18:06Are the fields behind this house the school playing fields?
00:18:08I wasn't running across them to murder the headmistress, if that's where you're going.
00:18:15I was in the garden. She could see me.
00:18:22And what were you doing, Holly?
00:18:24Wasting my life in the park.
00:18:26I'm sorry. She's having a tricky time.
00:18:29I heard about the expulsion. You stole computer equipment.
00:18:33It was stupid. I said I was sorry.
00:18:35Someone told her form teacher, Cara Hallis.
00:18:38We thought she'd helped sort it out, but Cara told Estelle.
00:18:41That was it. No discussion. Just out.
00:18:45For a kid who's never been any trouble before.
00:18:47I mean, we know what it's really about.
00:18:49Holly's very sporty.
00:18:51She was training for the school's national championships.
00:18:54But she's not academic, as such.
00:18:57I'm really thick.
00:18:59That's not what she's saying.
00:19:01It's just, Estelle was precious about those exam results.
00:19:07So the decision was taken by the headmistress?
00:19:09I don't know why Miss Hallis even thought she could tell her.
00:19:12I thought she was alright.
00:19:14But she was so fake.
00:19:16I forgot you, Holly.
00:19:18I'm always behind you.
00:19:20Always behind you?
00:19:23Are you sure you haven't been to the school today?
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:31Because there's graffiti on the wall of Cara Hallis' art room with that exact phrase.
00:19:37Not in green paint?
00:19:39Yes.
00:19:40You were washing green paint off your hands when you got home.
00:19:43She told me it was off a fence in the park.
00:19:45It was just a joke.
00:19:48I was there, okay?
00:19:51But I didn't touch Estelle Hallis.
00:19:54Ask Dominic.
00:19:56Dominic was with you at the school?
00:19:58I went to see him after his talk.
00:20:01We were messing around in the staff room.
00:20:04But then we heard the police cars turn up.
00:20:06We made it out across the fields.
00:20:08We made it out across the fields.
00:20:10He said he on the ground.
00:20:12He said he was like,
00:20:13Hey!
00:20:18I'm I'm not leaving.
00:20:19He was alone, I'm not leaving.
00:20:21We made it out.
00:20:23We made it out, we made it out.
00:20:24We made it out, we made it out that way.
00:20:27We made it out, we made it out.
00:20:29Oh, Causton Grammar?
00:20:54Oh, yeah. I'm a teaching assistant.
00:20:57Ah. How do you find it there?
00:21:00Oh, erm, I used to like it.
00:21:04Well, since Estelle started, er, there's a lot more politics now.
00:21:09What sort of thing?
00:21:10Everyone assumed Tim Crawford would be the next head.
00:21:13He applied for it and, er, his wife still isn't over it.
00:21:16Was there tension between Felicity and Estelle?
00:21:19She thought Estelle was trying to push Tim out.
00:21:23I just put it down to Sour Grapes, but then Felicity found an email chain with the governors and, er...
00:21:28Did she confront Estelle?
00:21:30It was weird.
00:21:31She was going to.
00:21:32She was all riled up and then changed her tune.
00:21:35Said it was all a misunderstanding and refused to speak about it ever since.
00:21:39Okay. Well, thank you.
00:21:41If Cara Hallis does get in contact with anyone at the school, make sure she calls me straight away.
00:21:46Does Cara not know yet?
00:21:48Surely Tim called her.
00:21:49Everyone's calling her. No reply.
00:21:51Well, if she was going to pick up to anyone, it would be Tim.
00:21:54Why do you say that?
00:21:55Oh.
00:21:56He was her mentor in her NQT year.
00:22:00Just stuff and gossip, probably.
00:22:07Well, that was interesting.
00:22:09Follow up on Felicity Crawford's movements, because there was much more tension between Felicity and Estelle than she led on.
00:22:16She said that she was at ballet with her kids.
00:22:18I'll check.
00:22:19Well, so I've got an address for Piers Mayhew.
00:22:21His sister, Moira, definitely downplayed how hostile things were.
00:22:24Deception runs in the family, then.
00:22:26Because if Holly's telling the truth, Dominic Mayhew is lying through his teeth.
00:22:31What about?
00:22:33He told us he left the school at four.
00:22:35Holly says he was still there when Estelle was murdered.
00:22:46You're a kid's TV presenter?
00:22:52Yeah, guilty.
00:22:53What were you a fan of?
00:22:54Crazy Carousel or Gunstown?
00:22:56Oh, no.
00:22:57I just saw the photos.
00:22:59Oh, well.
00:23:00Before your time, obviously.
00:23:02I was glad to leave it all behind, to be honest.
00:23:05You're a children's author now.
00:23:07Yeah, it's a bit of a pivot.
00:23:08But I had this idea about a boy who can turn himself into sea creatures.
00:23:12And, well, it sold rather well.
00:23:16We're here to talk about Estelle Hallis.
00:23:18I believe Moira has told you what happened.
00:23:20Indeed.
00:23:21And I'm suspect numero uno, am I?
00:23:24Well, we have some questions.
00:23:27Estelle was weak.
00:23:28She caved into pressure from the Snowflake mob.
00:23:31But it's her daughter, Cara, I have the real problem with.
00:23:33She was the one leading said mob.
00:23:35And you had an argument with Cara online?
00:23:37There was a debate about sensitivity, rewrites in children's books,
00:23:40expunging references to characters being fat, censorship, essentially.
00:23:44And I thought very strongly about it.
00:23:46And, yes, a few glasses of New World Rising had been consumed
00:23:49and possibly I did overstep the mark.
00:23:51But nothing to justify my wholesale cancellation.
00:23:55Where were you this afternoon, around 5.45?
00:23:58Oh, I was at the Kinston Arms from five o'clock.
00:24:01The landlord, Pete, can vouch for me.
00:24:03This looks amazing.
00:24:08Sorry we're so late.
00:24:09Oh, don't worry.
00:24:13How cross is Betty with me on a scale of one to teenager?
00:24:16Oh, she'll get over it.
00:24:17But listen, is it really Estelle Hallis?
00:24:20I didn't know.
00:24:21I promise.
00:24:22She didn't have to.
00:24:23It's all over the teacher message group.
00:24:25Well, I would never contradict a group of educators.
00:24:28Oh, well, I remember her from that conference in Birmingham last year.
00:24:33She's a fellow historian.
00:24:34She writes about female spies in World War II.
00:24:37It's fascinating.
00:24:38I'll put it on my reading list.
00:24:40I tell you what, I did not enjoy being back in the head teacher's office again today.
00:24:45Traumatic memories.
00:24:47I loved school.
00:24:48We know you did, head girl.
00:24:50We're an elite breed.
00:24:52I thought you'd be much more likely to get expelled.
00:24:56How dare you?
00:24:57I was an excellent head girl.
00:24:59I liked the power.
00:25:01Ah, yes.
00:25:02I can totally see it now.
00:25:04It was him over there getting himself expelled.
00:25:10I was not expelled.
00:25:11I was suspended.
00:25:13What did you do?
00:25:15Oh, just stupid 14-year-old stuff.
00:25:17So, Jess.
00:25:18Come on.
00:25:21We will get it out of you.
00:25:25I can assure you, you won't.
00:25:48Hi.
00:25:49Um, it's not a good time, Holly.
00:25:55I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your wife.
00:25:57I know me and her.
00:25:58I know me and her.
00:25:59She was trying to help you, Holly.
00:26:00She liked you, Holly.
00:26:01She expelled me.
00:26:02Because you stole from the school.
00:26:03Oh, nice, yeah.
00:26:04Oh, nice, yeah.
00:26:05Why'd you steal these from me?
00:26:06I'm sorry.
00:26:07I just thought...
00:26:08Your last days were filled with nothing but stress because of you.
00:26:09Now get out!
00:26:10Blake?
00:26:11Don't come back.
00:26:12There's no job for you here anymore.
00:26:14There's no job for you here anymore.
00:26:15I'm sorry.
00:26:16I'm sorry.
00:26:17I'm sorry.
00:26:18I'm sorry.
00:26:19I just thought...
00:26:20Your last days were filled with nothing but stress because of you.
00:26:23Now get out!
00:26:24Blake?
00:26:25Don't come back.
00:26:26There's no job for you here anymore.
00:26:27All right, guys.
00:26:28Last stop.
00:26:29Have a good one.
00:26:30Bye.
00:26:31Bye.
00:26:32Bye.
00:26:33Bye.
00:26:34Bye.
00:26:35Bye.
00:26:36Bye.
00:26:37Bye.
00:26:38Bye.
00:26:39Bye.
00:26:40Bye.
00:26:41Bye.
00:26:42Bye.
00:26:43Bye.
00:26:44Bye.
00:26:46Bye.
00:26:47Bye.
00:26:48Bye.
00:26:49Bye.
00:26:50Bye.
00:26:51Bye.
00:26:52Bye.
00:26:53Bye.
00:26:54Bye.
00:26:55Bye.
00:27:04Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:24I don't know.
00:27:54I don't know.
00:28:24I don't know.
00:28:54Oh, thanks, sir.
00:28:55Oh.
00:28:56Yeah, I thought I'd get back into it.
00:28:58It's going to be good for relaxation.
00:28:59Oh, you don't have to justify it to me.
00:29:01I would just question whether green is your colour.
00:29:04I'm told that it brings up my eyes.
00:29:08Oh, so it does.
00:29:09I stand corrected.
00:29:11Shall we watch some footage of a murder again, then?
00:29:12That's what we get paid for.
00:29:18And I hope there'll be some kind of reflection or something, but there's nothing.
00:29:24They've been very careful.
00:29:25Yeah, they're not precisely 5.48.
00:29:32Anything else to see?
00:29:33No, they have cameras at key locations.
00:29:36We're not everywhere.
00:29:37Okay.
00:29:39Oh, Dominic admitted to lying.
00:29:42He was worried about getting in trouble for the graffiti, apparently.
00:29:45And he thought that was worth lying for in a murder investigation.
00:29:48What did you make of Estelle's husband?
00:29:53His grief seemed genuine enough, and there's no financial motive.
00:29:56Oh, she's well off.
00:29:58Five rental properties between here and the Midlands.
00:30:00Yeah, but it all goes to Cara, though.
00:30:02The solicitor sent the will through this morning.
00:30:04I assume Cara hasn't made contact overnight.
00:30:06No.
00:30:07There's a text from her on Estelle's phone, though, sent Sunday night.
00:30:10Said that she had food poisoning and couldn't drive back.
00:30:12But I have contacted every yoga centre in Snowdonia,
00:30:15and not one of them has a record of her booking.
00:30:17Tracking her down needs to be a priority.
00:30:21I meant to be in a meeting upstairs.
00:30:23Just quickly.
00:30:25Traumatic aortic rupture.
00:30:27One clean stab.
00:30:29No hesitation.
00:30:32It's my pleasure.
00:30:34Any developments on our other case?
00:30:38What?
00:30:39What other case?
00:30:40I need you full-time on this.
00:30:41The case of the delinquent DCI.
00:30:45We're brainstorming reasons you got suspended from school.
00:30:49And what do you have so far?
00:30:51Setting off a fire extinguisher.
00:30:53Starting a food fight?
00:30:54Mm-mm.
00:30:56Something involving nudity.
00:30:59Miles off.
00:31:01Miles and miles.
00:31:03You won't take it.
00:31:14Mr. Crawford.
00:31:15Tim.
00:31:16Oh, hi, Moira.
00:31:19Dominic has something to say.
00:31:22Yeah, hi.
00:31:25Sorry for the damage to the staff room yesterday.
00:31:27It was me and Holly.
00:31:29Holly's the one who did the graffiti.
00:31:30He just didn't stop her.
00:31:33That sounds like we need to have a little chat.
00:31:38Right.
00:31:39Yes.
00:31:40It really wasn't his fault.
00:31:44I'm sorry.
00:31:45What were you thinking?
00:31:47How does that possibly help your case?
00:31:48I know.
00:31:49I made it all worse.
00:31:51You can still help me.
00:31:51I don't think I can.
00:31:53Not now.
00:31:55Please.
00:31:55Any idea where in Snowdonia it was?
00:32:05Aye.
00:32:08Or if she was going with anyone?
00:32:10She didn't tell me anything about it.
00:32:14She didn't take any of her yoga stuff?
00:32:16Well, she said they provided mats and everything.
00:32:21I thought you said she didn't tell you any details about the trip.
00:32:25Oh, well, yeah.
00:32:26No, she didn't.
00:32:28Just that.
00:32:29Just that one very specific thing.
00:32:34I can't do this.
00:32:37I'm feeling sick all the time.
00:32:40Look, there is no yoga retreat.
00:32:43She was supposed to fly to Boston Friday night, but she's disappeared.
00:32:47Why was she going to Boston?
00:32:49She was delivering a rare book to some American guy.
00:32:52Signed, first edition, all that.
00:32:55Except it was fake.
00:32:57Rare books?
00:32:58Is Moira Mayhew involved in this?
00:33:00I don't want to get her in trouble.
00:33:01She's just trying to put Dominic through uni, and I've got a slight tax issue.
00:33:06So you're selling fake books to collectors?
00:33:07It was just this one.
00:33:09The guy paid 70 grand, so he wanted it hand-delivered.
00:33:12But she asked me to do it.
00:33:13How did Cara get involved?
00:33:16I didn't think about it until I agreed, but I got arrested at a climate change protest last year.
00:33:24I can't get the paperwork to enter the US.
00:33:26So you asked Cara to go instead?
00:33:29She was meant to be on the 9pm flight.
00:33:32I've been calling and calling.
00:33:34It's like she's vanished off the face of the planet.
00:33:36Winter, sorry I couldn't pick up.
00:33:44I had a feeling that Rhys Chapman was about to crack, and he did.
00:33:48Cara was never going on that yoga retreat.
00:33:51She was flying to Boston.
00:33:53Well, she didn't make it, sir.
00:33:57The school caretaker found her body half an hour ago.
00:34:15It's definitely her driving license.
00:34:18No sign of her phone, though.
00:34:20This is all due to be collected today.
00:34:24Laura?
00:34:26We've got a huge depressed skull fracture.
00:34:29Rigour has completely dissipated.
00:34:32I'd say she's been dead for three or four days.
00:34:35Friday or Saturday?
00:34:37So she'd already been dead for days by the time her mother was killed.
00:34:41So the message about food poisoning is from the killer, just playing for time.
00:34:45These were in her jacket.
00:34:46They're most commonly prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks.
00:34:50I can't see properly, but I think there's discoloration on the back of the calves and thighs, where the blood settled.
00:35:01Well, that tells us she wasn't always in this position.
00:35:07She was in a seated position somewhere for at least 12 hours after death.
00:35:14Then moved to the locker.
00:35:16We're missing a crime scene.
00:35:18Well, given where she's been found, let's focus on the school.
00:35:21Contaminated by hundreds of kids, apparently.
00:35:25We'll just have to do what we can.
00:35:28That's us in Barcelona.
00:35:29We travelled round Europe together last summer, our grand tour.
00:35:39I always thought boyfriends come and go and whatever, but me and Cara, I thought she'd always be in my life.
00:35:51It's a huge loss. I'm sorry.
00:35:54Well, the main thing now is that he doesn't get away with it.
00:35:58Who?
00:36:00This guy, Pierce Mayhew.
00:36:02I know who he is.
00:36:05Cara got into an argument with him online.
00:36:08Yeah, but do you know about the other account?
00:36:11Our friend from art school, his auntie used to work with Pierce on TV, and she told Cara all these stories about him.
00:36:17Drunk on set, abusive to runners, massive creep.
00:36:22And Cara set up an anonymous account to share the stories.
00:36:25Did Pierce know it was Cara?
00:36:27He found out.
00:36:28Last week, and he came to the house looking for it. He only left when I threatened to call the police.
00:36:34Hold on.
00:36:34This last post on Thursday, stay tuned, more to come. Any idea what that was?
00:36:48No, but he was freaking out about the press, like anyone remembers who he is.
00:36:52Were you aware that Cara was taking medication for panic attacks?
00:36:58No.
00:37:00She did get a prescription last year. She saw an accident on a school trip, one of the instructors.
00:37:05I was worried about her popping pills, though. I thought she decided not to.
00:37:09I can't believe she didn't tell me that.
00:37:13She was my best friend.
00:37:17Winter?
00:37:18Oh, sir. Someone's given the art room a thorough bleaching. But there's some blood showing up by the door.
00:37:32Well, they're testing the store cupboard now, and it's lighting up like a Christmas tree.
00:37:36So we know where her body was kept. Good work.
00:37:39Oh, one more thing, sir.
00:37:40She emailed Paul Randall on Wednesday saying that she would contact the driving agency if he didn't do it himself.
00:37:45Paul then asked for a meeting with her.
00:37:47Do we know if that meeting took place?
00:37:48No, he's not on the visitor log, but Rhys Chapman is. He's down as visiting Cara at 1.15 on Friday.
00:37:54That's the only entry I can find for him.
00:37:56Interesting. He didn't mention that.
00:38:00Well, let's pay the Randall's a visit, but first we need to talk to Piers Mayhew.
00:38:03It turns out that Cara was getting ready to destroy his reputation.
00:38:10People spread rumors online all the time. Nobody's going to pay attention to Cara.
00:38:14You seem very sure about that.
00:38:16Look, I wish you could help.
00:38:19But I was sitting in that chair most of the weekend, working on the next novel.
00:38:22Yes, I... Okay, I did run a few errands, so if you can give me a more specific time...
00:38:26So you can ask someone to lie for you?
00:38:29Like you did when Estelle was killed?
00:38:31Don't know what you mean.
00:38:33We spoke to the landlord of the Kyniston Arms on our way over here.
00:38:36Your friend Pete.
00:38:37Except he says he's not your friend.
00:38:40And he was only too happy to report that you were not at his pub from 5pm yesterday.
00:38:46You got there over an hour later at 6.15 and had one drink.
00:38:49And then phoned him and asked him to lie.
00:38:51Okay, okay, you got me.
00:38:54I've been extremely foolish.
00:38:56I listened to Moira and that was a mistake.
00:38:58What's Moira got to do with this?
00:39:00Well, she was afraid I'd be a suspect.
00:39:02And with good reason, as it turns out.
00:39:04Anyway, her panic was infectious and she persuaded me to get myself an alibi in a populated place as soon as possible.
00:39:10So where were you really when Estelle was killed?
00:39:12Well, unhelpfully for all of us, I was sitting at that computer writing.
00:39:18A task I must get back to.
00:39:20If there's nothing else.
00:39:21Nothing for now.
00:39:25You're probably safe to take Pete off your Christmas card list, though.
00:39:34My grandmother had it and she lived right into her 80s, so we know it's not a death sentence.
00:39:40But still, MS.
00:39:43There's not what you want to hear.
00:39:45Of course.
00:39:47And you drive for a living.
00:39:49I was planning to declare it.
00:39:51And I do get it, I'm driving kids around, but...
00:39:54What if I need a test to keep my licence?
00:39:56I wanted all the work lined up first.
00:39:58He's been keeping the driving to a minimum.
00:40:01But then another bill comes in.
00:40:04We overstretched on this place.
00:40:06It's got quite tight.
00:40:07You don't have to pretend.
00:40:09I know we're losing the house.
00:40:12And it's my fault, Karin.
00:40:13You know, I told her about Dad's diagnosis back when I thought I could trust her.
00:40:17Before I killed her.
00:40:18That is.
00:40:19Obviously.
00:40:21Holly.
00:40:21That's a sick joke to make.
00:40:22Why would you say that?
00:40:23Why else are they here, though?
00:40:25They don't care about your health.
00:40:27Or my education.
00:40:28Or how you pay your bills.
00:40:30They think one of us did it.
00:40:32That's the only reason they're talking to us.
00:40:34I really do apologise.
00:40:36It's okay, we're here to ask difficult questions.
00:40:38And yes, it would be helpful if you could tell us where you were from Friday afternoon to Saturday night.
00:40:45Friday, we were all here.
00:40:47And Saturday, Paul was at the shops and me and Holly were doing the garden.
00:40:50It's Blake Anderson you should be talking to.
00:40:53His wife and stepdaughter are both dead.
00:40:55And he's super aggressive.
00:40:56Your boyfriend said that you liked working with Blake.
00:41:00That was before he lost it with me.
00:41:03Like, I honestly thought he was going to hit me.
00:41:05I was just trying to give him some flowers.
00:41:07When was this?
00:41:08Last night.
00:41:10So instead of harassing my disabled dad,
00:41:13perhaps you could ask Blake why he has anger issues.
00:41:16And then you could leave us alone.
00:41:37Home?
00:41:40What were you looking at?
00:41:43Holly?
00:41:44Holly?
00:42:07There's more in the dish if you'd like some.
00:42:28Oh, is that Estelle's academic work?
00:42:33No, photos from her phone, just checking I'm not missing anything.
00:42:38It looks like she did a knitting course at Top Yarns.
00:42:41Oh, I thought maybe it was her research because she's marked up the stitches with letters.
00:42:45But Estelle was a historian.
00:42:47What would that have to do with knitting?
00:42:48Remember I said that she'd written about female spies in World War II?
00:42:54I remember everything you say.
00:42:57Well, sometimes they use knitting to hide messages.
00:43:00So they'd do sequences of smooth stitches and then raised stitches, like that.
00:43:04And it would spell out words.
00:43:06In Morse code.
00:43:08One of the spies was called Phyllis Latour.
00:43:10Hang on.
00:43:11Phyllis Latour?
00:43:11This artwork is called Ooh La La Tour.
00:43:16Well, unless it's Ooh La La Tour, in which case she wasn't learning to knit.
00:43:20She was deciphering a code.
00:43:21Can you read this?
00:43:23I could give it a go, but you probably need a knitter, really.
00:43:27And I know just the man.
00:43:41Is everything okay with Holly?
00:43:47Mm-hmm.
00:43:48She's fine.
00:43:51I wanted to speak to you.
00:43:54Look, I'm her mother, aren't I?
00:43:57So I love her, no matter what.
00:44:00Okay.
00:44:01And you love her too.
00:44:03Enough to want to protect her.
00:44:08I think you know what I'm asking you, Dominic.
00:44:11I need you to tell me the truth.
00:44:25Ah, that's great.
00:44:26What does it say?
00:44:28You're kidding, Ryan.
00:44:28This is going to take me ages.
00:44:30I have the utmost faith in you.
00:44:31Anything more overnight?
00:44:33Oh, yes.
00:44:35Digital flagged something weird in Kara's...
00:44:38Sorry.
00:44:39Kara's search history.
00:44:40She kept searching.
00:44:41For a Terence McGregor maths.
00:44:46Well, it seems that he was a professor of applied mathematics.
00:44:48Lived in Badger's Drift.
00:44:49Died five years ago, aged 87.
00:44:51And no obvious connection to Kara?
00:44:53Not that I can find.
00:44:54Keep digging.
00:44:57Okay.
00:44:57Mother and daughter both killed on school grounds.
00:44:59Kara was killed first, so presumably it all starts with her.
00:45:02Last sighting of Kara was 4.50 p.m. on Friday,
00:45:05when the in-person PTA meeting disbanded.
00:45:08When Moira threw a chair at her.
00:45:09Moira could have followed her into the classroom after the argument.
00:45:13What if Kara revealed that she knew about the book fraud?
00:45:15Or, um, Holly has to be high on the list.
00:45:19Well, she's impulsive.
00:45:20She felt betrayed by both Kara and Estelle.
00:45:23Mm, yeah.
00:45:25Oh, we need to speak to Felicity Crawford again.
00:45:27I just heard back from the ballet studio that her kids go to,
00:45:30and they missed their lesson on Monday.
00:45:32So, I called their primary school, and she booked them in to stay late.
00:45:37So, Felicity lied about where she was when Estelle was killed.
00:45:41I'd like to talk to her about that,
00:45:43and about the Stafford gossip surrounding her husband and Kara.
00:45:48I did sort of twink that Kara had a crush on me.
00:46:01Did I do enough to discourage it?
00:46:03Probably not.
00:46:05It's nice to have the attention.
00:46:07You know what it's like.
00:46:08She was like a lovesick puppy.
00:46:11Tim had to have a word with her.
00:46:15It was reassuring, in a way.
00:46:17Wrong classroom.
00:46:20Sorry, miss.
00:46:26Reassuring that Kara had a crush on your husband.
00:46:30Oh, no, that she made it so obvious.
00:46:32I mean, something had been going on,
00:46:34then she would have been more careful, wouldn't she?
00:46:37No lines were crossed.
00:46:38Not even slightly.
00:46:41Do you have any idea why your wife lied about taking your daughters to ballet on Monday?
00:46:46What?
00:46:48Where were they then?
00:46:51I went to see a psychotherapist.
00:46:54That's not what you said before.
00:46:55I lied because Tim was there,
00:46:58and it wasn't something that I wanted to discuss in front of my husband.
00:47:01I think there must be some crossed wires.
00:47:08Felicity and I, we don't have secrets.
00:47:13That is one complicated marriage.
00:47:15See if the therapist backs her up.
00:47:16Sir, there's been a new voicemail left on Estelle's mobile.
00:47:20It's from Dominic's university tutor.
00:47:22Apparently got himself kicked out.
00:47:24Estelle was trying to help.
00:47:26Oh, it's Sarah.
00:47:27Hmm?
00:47:28Well, why is she calling you?
00:47:30Oh, I'll speak to Dominic.
00:47:33Hi, Sarah.
00:47:34Yeah, he's just realised.
00:47:35Non-attendance at lectures.
00:47:39Failure to submit essays.
00:47:41After everything I did to help you get in there.
00:47:44The coaching, the extra tutorials.
00:47:49Maybe that was the problem.
00:47:51When I had to do it for myself, I couldn't cope, could I?
00:47:55You never let me learn to cope.
00:48:00I spoke to your tutor, Dominic.
00:48:03He said that Estelle called him at 4.30pm on Monday,
00:48:06that's about an hour before she was killed,
00:48:08saying that you had just left her office in a highly emotional state.
00:48:12Well, she called them for me.
00:48:14She said she couldn't, and Mr Crawford had already tried.
00:48:16Tim Crawford knew about this.
00:48:18He was trying to help.
00:48:19Just to be clear, Dominic,
00:48:20you're admitting that you met Estelle shortly before she was murdered,
00:48:23that you were in her office, and that you were upset.
00:48:25Well, I talked to her, but I didn't do anything.
00:48:29You told us that you just knocked on the office door,
00:48:31that you didn't go in.
00:48:32This is the third version of events you've given us.
00:48:34You've made everything so much harder for yourself.
00:48:39Why did you lie?
00:48:41Because I mess things up.
00:48:45It's what I do.
00:48:47Because I'm stupid.
00:48:49I need a minute.
00:48:49No, no.
00:48:50Tom!
00:48:51I have a few questions for you, Moira, as well.
00:48:56About your book fraud.
00:48:59My... what?
00:49:00Fake first editions.
00:49:03Forged signatures.
00:49:04Rees told my colleague everything.
00:49:05It's not my usual way of doing things, I can assure you.
00:49:21It's more Cara's involvement that we're focusing on now.
00:49:23She knew about the scam.
00:49:24Did she threaten to reveal it?
00:49:26I didn't know she was involved until Rees told me on Monday.
00:49:31I'm telling you the truth.
00:49:32I'd make a joke about forgetfulness, but I can't remember how it goes.
00:49:39Well, come in, because you know what occurred to me this morning.
00:49:42You remember my old head of science who moved to Nottingham?
00:49:45Well, he ended up at the school that Estelle used to teach at.
00:49:48So, I gave him a ring this morning, and Estelle's husband, Blake Anderson...
00:49:52Not Blake Anderson at all.
00:49:55What do you mean?
00:49:56Well, his real name is Benjamin Ashton.
00:49:58He went to prison for conning three separate women out of their life savings.
00:50:01They met when she was volunteering as a prison educator.
00:50:04So, his whole marriage to Estelle, that could be another romance scam.
00:50:10You should come and interview him with me.
00:50:11You're great at this.
00:50:12That's okay.
00:50:13It's not difficult.
00:50:14I don't know why you always make such a song and dance about it.
00:50:16It took me a long time to believe that she liked me, because obviously she knew my past.
00:50:33It was all out there on the table.
00:50:35But she believed in new starts.
00:50:41She was willing to back me.
00:50:43And that made me think, I can back myself, you know?
00:50:47What about Cara?
00:50:48Did she know?
00:50:49We told her we met online.
00:50:51You should have been up front with us from the beginning.
00:50:53I was going to tell you, but I couldn't.
00:50:59So it's all at the bottom of the lake now.
00:51:01What is?
00:51:02My old life.
00:51:04Well, what was left of it.
00:51:06Mementos and photos of my parents.
00:51:09I threw them away.
00:51:11I was afraid you were going to search my shop.
00:51:15Where were you over the weekend?
00:51:16At home.
00:51:19With Estelle.
00:51:22But I can only give you my word for that, and I know that's not worth much.
00:51:26In light of Cara's death, your wife's estate is all yours.
00:51:29Her pension, her property.
00:51:31It is, yeah.
00:51:33I think it's worth quite a lot.
00:51:36But Estelle is the one person who knew every last bit of me and said yes to it all.
00:51:44So I profit from this.
00:51:47Yeah, I know I do.
00:51:48But all I can think about is what I've lost.
00:52:02Oh.
00:52:05You're Dominic's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:52:08Yeah.
00:52:10And what do you want?
00:52:13Money.
00:52:19Is it package?
00:52:22No, it's for the guys at the station.
00:52:25I mean, helping me with this knitted artwork.
00:52:28And, well, these stitches in the speech bubble are indeed Morse code.
00:52:35And it's all about Cara.
00:52:37It's basically Rhys declaring his love for her.
00:52:39Oh, I assumed you would.
00:52:40Oh, ignore me.
00:52:41I've never assumed.
00:52:43Mm-hmm.
00:52:44So Estelle understood the reference to Phyllis Latour and cracked the code, only to discover
00:52:49it was about her own daughter.
00:52:51And if Estelle told Cara, then that would make sense of the message that she sent her
00:52:56mother on Friday morning.
00:52:58Here, I'm worried.
00:53:00It's obvious I know I'll need to have the talk.
00:53:03So you think Cara was planning to confront Rhys?
00:53:07Well, it could be why he visited the school on Friday, and she asked him to talk, and then
00:53:10she rejected him, and he snapped.
00:53:13You've been killed for less.
00:53:14Sir.
00:53:36Both computers are still here.
00:53:59All my first editions are accounted for.
00:54:01I don't understand it.
00:54:03Well, you must have been looking for something.
00:54:05Oh, I've no idea what.
00:54:08They've left my stuff alone.
00:54:10I don't think there's much of a market in stolen knitting needles.
00:54:13I'm sure you're right.
00:54:14Can I have a word with you in private?
00:54:15Uh, yeah, if you need to.
00:54:19I've got things to do upstairs.
00:54:23Shall we go through there?
00:54:24Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:54:30It's about your relationship with Kara.
00:54:32Is it purely platonic?
00:54:33Of course, yeah.
00:54:36On both sides?
00:54:37I'm not sure what you're getting at.
00:54:41The message in the speech bubble.
00:54:44Do you want me to spell it out for you?
00:54:47Well, that's art.
00:54:48It doesn't literally mean...
00:54:50I think it does.
00:54:52You were in love with Kara.
00:54:54You couldn't tell her, so you poured it into your art.
00:54:57But Estelle spotted the Latour reference, didn't she?
00:55:09It all came out last week.
00:55:11Because I've been dating men for so long, Kara forgot that bi does actually mean bi.
00:55:16She was acting like I tricked her or something.
00:55:22So she rejected you?
00:55:24The rejection, I could handle it.
00:55:27It was the awkwardness.
00:55:28It was like she was wary around me.
00:55:30It was awful.
00:55:31Is that why you visited Kara at school on Friday?
00:55:34I just needed to make things right before she got on the plane.
00:55:38And she said we were good, but...
00:55:39We weren't.
00:55:42I could feel it.
00:55:44And after that conversation, what did you do?
00:55:47I went straight back home.
00:55:50Look, it's obvious where you're taking this, and you're so wrong.
00:55:54I could never, ever hurt Kara.
00:55:57One more thing for now.
00:55:59Does the name Terence McGregor mean anything to you?
00:56:02I've never heard of him.
00:56:04He was a maths professor.
00:56:05Kara seemed to be researching him.
00:56:07I know who he is.
00:56:08I couldn't help overhearing.
00:56:11I bought some crates of books from his estate when he died.
00:56:15Turned out to include some highly sought-after Tolkien's.
00:56:18But I don't know why on earth Kara was interested.
00:56:31Rotten fish in the air vent?
00:56:33What?
00:56:35Fifty chickens in the staff room.
00:56:36A truckload of horse manure in the car park.
00:56:42Are you really so desperate to know what got me suspended?
00:56:46I most certainly am.
00:56:49Well, Dr. Perkins, I will tell you, on one condition...
00:56:53Name it.
00:56:55Under no circumstances does this get back to winter.
00:56:58It was a weed killer on the school sports field, applied to burn the grass in a certain shape.
00:57:10A shape a teenage boy might find amusing.
00:57:14The very one.
00:57:17Lucky to get away with just a suspension.
00:57:19Oh, I got a lot more than that.
00:57:20My parents persuaded a police officer friend to turn up on our doorstep in uniform.
00:57:27He said he had some questions.
00:57:28He frightened the hell out of me.
00:57:29Stellar parenting.
00:57:30Stellar parenting.
00:57:30Stellar parenting.
00:57:30Stellar parenting.
00:57:31Stellar parenting.
00:57:31Stellar parenting.
00:57:32Stellar parenting.
00:57:33But then, his questions were all about why I'd done it.
00:57:38He was genuinely curious about why I was acting out, you know.
00:57:42And he showed me that you could make a mistake and it could be okay.
00:57:46You could come back from it.
00:57:49I sometimes wonder if that conversation was the reason I became a police officer.
00:57:56That's actually really nice.
00:58:01I became a pathologist because I like knives.
00:58:05And on the subject of pathology...
00:58:08Ah, yes.
00:58:09The cause of death was the depressed skull fracture.
00:58:14She was hit once, very hard, with a pointed object.
00:58:18This was on display in the art room.
00:58:21Traces of blood and bleach.
00:58:23I've sent it to the lab for DNA.
00:58:27Sorry, I'm late.
00:58:28Felicity's therapist called.
00:58:30She was with him when Estelle was killed.
00:58:32But Tim and Felicity both accounted for, then.
00:58:36Yeah.
00:58:39What?
00:58:40No, it's just...
00:58:41It's not impossible they're working with a third party, is it?
00:58:44It's just something the therapist said.
00:58:46He assumed that I was calling because Estelle had followed through on a threat that she made to Felicity about going to the police.
00:58:53What about?
00:58:54Well, he wouldn't say.
00:58:55It would look like confidentiality.
00:58:56But I looked her up online, and he's an addiction specialist.
00:59:04This is humiliating.
00:59:07We're not here to embarrass you.
00:59:09We just need the facts.
00:59:10Felicity gets quite anxious.
00:59:12Ever since the girls were born, really.
00:59:16We all deal with stress in different ways, don't we?
00:59:19And for Felicity, she...
00:59:22Well, she takes things without pain.
00:59:27Shortlifting.
00:59:27It just happens when things get on top of me.
00:59:32It's not even the stuff that she wants.
00:59:34Most of it ends up in the bin.
00:59:36Did Estelle know about this?
00:59:38No.
00:59:39Yes.
00:59:41Well, she did.
00:59:43I mean, when I tried to talk to her about the way she was treating you,
00:59:47she said that...
00:59:48She said that she'd noticed me taking things.
00:59:54Christmas fairs.
00:59:55Summer fates.
00:59:58I mean...
00:59:59She framed it as concern, you know, how can I help?
01:00:01But...
01:00:03The message was clear.
01:00:06She had something over you.
01:00:08Well, that doesn't mean anything, does it?
01:00:10You know that Felicity didn't kill Estelle.
01:00:12She can't be in two places at the same time.
01:00:18What's this?
01:00:29A music festival in Croatia.
01:00:32I need you to give these to Dominic.
01:00:34Help him go over the studio-versity business.
01:00:37Since when did you take the slightest interest in Dominic?
01:00:42Since he and his girlfriend took an interest in me.
01:00:45Dominic!
01:01:13Dominic!
01:01:13Dominic!
01:01:15I've got a surprise for you from your uncle.
01:01:19Dominic!
01:01:22Don!
01:01:23Oh, my goodness.
01:01:35No!
01:01:39Dominic!
01:01:41Oh, my God!
01:01:46Oh, my God.
01:01:47Oh, my God.
01:01:47Oh, my God.
01:01:49You're right there.
01:01:51There's nothing obviously missing, as far as Moira can tell.
01:02:13She can barely speak.
01:02:14The knitting needle hit the carotid artery.
01:02:17Massive blood loss, triggering brain hypoxia.
01:02:22Moira said that the shop was closed.
01:02:24This has got to be linked to the break-in, surely?
01:02:26No sign of forced entry this time, and no obvious struggle.
01:02:30Dominic led them in. He trusted them.
01:02:32Well, they had their own keys.
01:02:34Besides Dominic and Moira, that leaves Rhys and Piers.
01:02:47What's Holly said so far?
01:02:51She claims she was here all morning, left at 12.30.
01:02:54She sent me these, which were taken around midday.
01:02:58Hmm, that globe has been moved.
01:03:09Is it still somewhere in the flat?
01:03:11I'm not sure.
01:03:12Do you think it's valuable?
01:03:13Well, it looks old.
01:03:15Just check it's still here.
01:03:17I'm going to talk to Holly.
01:03:19He was fine when I left him, I swear.
01:03:31Nobody's accusing you, Holly.
01:03:33Just tell him what you told us about Piers.
01:03:36Piers doesn't write his own books.
01:03:39He stole them.
01:03:41Me and Dominic started blackmailing him about it.
01:03:44What do you mean, he stole them?
01:03:49It was years ago.
01:03:51Dominic came across these old notebooks in the bottom of a box in the shop.
01:03:55They belonged to some lecturer who died.
01:03:59A maths lecturer?
01:04:01Um, Terence McGregor?
01:04:03Yeah.
01:04:04That's it.
01:04:06Um, they were full of these handwritten stories.
01:04:11Dominic got really into them.
01:04:15Piers had a look and wanted to borrow them.
01:04:18Who else knew about this?
01:04:20Piers gave Dominic £500 to keep quiet.
01:04:25Then Dominic told me.
01:04:27And when Cara got into the whole thing with Piers online, I told her.
01:04:32Was Cara threatening to go public?
01:04:35She said she needed to check it was true first.
01:04:38I went to see him yesterday.
01:04:41You went to blackmail him?
01:04:44He agreed to pay for a few things.
01:04:47As long as we kept quiet.
01:04:50I was so excited to tell him.
01:04:53But now what if I've got him killed?
01:04:56The only person responsible for Dominic's death is the person who killed him.
01:05:01No sign of that globe.
01:05:02Moira said that she was collecting things at the shop for the PTA jumble sale.
01:05:13It came in as a donation.
01:05:15Cara saw it, said that she liked it, and asked Moira to put it aside for her.
01:05:18Wait a minute.
01:05:19So Cara showed an interest in this globe, and then Dominic had it in his possession until
01:05:24it vanished around the time he was killed.
01:05:26You're thinking whoever killed Dominic took the globe from the flat.
01:05:29Why?
01:05:30Logically, there would be two options.
01:05:32They wanted it themselves, or they wanted to stop someone else getting hold of it.
01:05:36In which case, what have they done with it?
01:05:38Hidden it?
01:05:39Disposed of it?
01:05:40Get Uniform to have a look around, just in the immediate area, in case they dumped it
01:05:43straight away.
01:05:44In the meantime, I have some questions for Piers Mayhew.
01:05:48Midsummer's premier plagiarist, apparently.
01:05:51What globe?
01:05:52I've been sitting here the whole time writing.
01:05:53It's what I do.
01:05:54Hmm.
01:05:55The new novel.
01:05:56How's that going?
01:05:57Slowly.
01:05:58I'd like you to read this, please.
01:06:00I know what it says.
01:06:01These stories.
01:06:02None of them are yours.
01:06:03You stole them.
01:06:04I used the material as a springboard, that's all.
01:06:05It's plagiarism.
01:06:06But, as you like stories.
01:06:07Once upon a time, I'd like you to read it.
01:06:08I'd like you to read this, please.
01:06:09I'd like you to read it.
01:06:14Please.
01:06:18I know what it says.
01:06:22These stories.
01:06:23None of them are yours.
01:06:25You stole them.
01:06:26I used the material as a springboard, that's all.
01:06:31It's plagiarism.
01:06:32But, as you like stories.
01:06:34Once upon a time, Dominic told Holly that you stole your novels.
01:06:39Holly told Kara, and she was going to tell the world only before she had a chance.
01:06:44She was killed.
01:06:46This is absurd. I did not do this.
01:06:49Plot twist. Kara told her mother, Estelle.
01:06:53And she was killed too.
01:06:58If you have evidence to arrest me, go ahead.
01:07:01Otherwise, this little storytelling session is over.
01:07:15Here's has to be top of our list.
01:07:17Estelle, Kara and Dominic were blowing his world apart between them.
01:07:22I don't suppose that globe's turned up?
01:07:23No. Uniform check. The wheelie bins, the public litter bins, the park.
01:07:28What?
01:07:29I walked past that fencing a few hours ago. It wasn't pulled open like that.
01:07:34Are you serious?
01:07:38Are you serious?
01:07:40Okay, fine.
01:07:44I really should have stopped buying new suits.
01:07:47With respect, sir, this is a complete waste of...
01:07:51Hold on.
01:07:53You were saying?
01:08:02That your hunches are always right, sir.
01:08:04A prize for academic excellence presented to Timothy Hillary Crawford, year eight, by Mr. Vincent Bell, headmaster.
01:08:23Oh, this is Tim Crawford's globe.
01:08:27Tim's?
01:08:28From when he was at school?
01:08:30Okay.
01:08:32But if this was in the PTA donations, then why did Kara ask Moira to put it aside for her?
01:08:37I think I might know.
01:08:39Vincent Bell, here, look.
01:08:42Vincent Bell, 72, fell to his death while facilitating a residential trip for a group of year 12 students from Causton Grammar.
01:08:49That's the school trip Tim organized in the Lake District.
01:08:53And the man who died was his old headmaster.
01:08:55Kara witnessed the accident on that school trip, too.
01:08:59Reese said that's what started her panic attacks.
01:09:02Was she aware that the man she saw die was Tim's headmaster?
01:09:05Was it only seeing this globe that told her that?
01:09:10Come on.
01:09:10He was just a random old guy helping out at the center.
01:09:18But Kara saw his body hit the ground, and that's why she couldn't sleep for ages.
01:09:21Did she mention that Tim knew him from when he was at school?
01:09:25What?
01:09:26No.
01:09:26She definitely would have mentioned that.
01:09:29Look, as far as she was concerned, he was a stranger to both of them.
01:09:31What did Kara say when she asked you to keep the globe for her?
01:09:34Just to make sure it didn't end up with the jumble sale stuff.
01:09:38She said she needed to show it to someone.
01:09:42Take good care of each other.
01:09:52So Tim never let on that he knew Vincent Bell.
01:09:55And then Carus and the globe took all the names and made the connection.
01:10:00Exactly.
01:10:00And there's one obvious reason why Tim would cover up his connection to Vincent Bell, isn't there?
01:10:06It wasn't an accident.
01:10:08Right, sir.
01:10:10But it can't be Tim, though, can it?
01:10:11We have him on video when Estelle was murdered.
01:10:13And even if he was working with his wife or something, we know that she was with his therapist.
01:10:17I know.
01:10:19But what if there was a way to be in two places at once?
01:10:26There.
01:10:27Slow that down.
01:10:29It actually cuts out for a split second.
01:10:34I-46 precisely.
01:10:36Two minutes before Estelle is killed.
01:10:39You could run from Tim's classroom to Estelle's office in that time.
01:10:42Tim said he was having technical issues.
01:10:46You know, it's possible that all the footage we're seeing after it cuts out was pre-filmed.
01:10:53Go to the bit with the javelin.
01:10:54Look at the time stamp.
01:11:01It's not 5.48 in a few seconds.
01:11:04It's 5.48 on the absolute dart.
01:11:08He timed the javelin to coordinate with his faked reaction on the pre-filmed footage.
01:11:15So you go on my whistle!
01:11:24Mr. Crawford.
01:11:26We haven't informed the students yet.
01:11:29Doesn't feel real, does it?
01:11:30I mean...
01:11:32Who want to hurt Dominic?
01:11:35Oh, indeed.
01:11:37I believe this belongs to you.
01:11:41Why don't you tell us about Vincent Bell?
01:11:44Or Mr. Bell, as I suppose he was to you.
01:11:47Being your headmaster.
01:11:49I don't want to talk about him.
01:11:52Not here.
01:11:53We know what you did.
01:12:05We have a good idea how you did it.
01:12:09I'd just like to know why.
01:12:15Why?
01:12:16Why?
01:12:18Because he was a monster.
01:12:21He was a bully.
01:12:23He belittled us, terrified us, day and night.
01:12:27Was this a boarding school?
01:12:28Yes!
01:12:30There's no escape.
01:12:32You know, I know for a fact there are men out there, middle-aged men.
01:12:35They're suffering from depression.
01:12:37Unable to form relationships because of the damage that he did.
01:12:42You tried to be a good student.
01:12:47You know, the day that I won that,
01:12:51he said it made me conceited.
01:12:56He made me
01:12:58take off my socks and shoes
01:13:02and run 20 laps around the school.
01:13:07And when he saw that my feet were bleeding,
01:13:10do you know what he did, DCI Barnaby?
01:13:13He smiled.
01:13:14That man was a sadist.
01:13:20Then all those years later at the outdoor center,
01:13:24there he was.
01:13:29It was recorded as an abseiling accident.
01:13:31Yeah, he was setting up a line
01:13:36so he was close to the edge.
01:13:39Excuse me.
01:13:41Did I have to keep...
01:13:42Hello, Timothy.
01:13:48I thought I recognized the name.
01:13:50I was back there.
01:13:53A 13-year-old little boy.
01:13:55I was humiliated.
01:13:59Frightened.
01:14:01But there was this anger inside.
01:14:03I was so incredibly angry.
01:14:07And I knew, I knew in that moment,
01:14:08it was so clear.
01:14:15And the only way for a man like Vincent Bell
01:14:18to face consequences
01:14:20was for a man like me to make him.
01:14:23But Kara saw it.
01:14:29Kara.
01:14:32She saw something.
01:14:33I...
01:14:34I never knew exactly how much,
01:14:38but...
01:14:40She trusted me.
01:14:43And you used that.
01:14:45You made her believe your lies
01:14:47over the evidence of her own eyes
01:14:49until...
01:14:50That was hidden in the back of an attic.
01:14:53I'd forgotten it existed.
01:14:56Oh, and then when Felicity had given it to a jumbo sale,
01:14:59it was like this grenade was out there
01:15:01waiting to go off.
01:15:02I couldn't track it down.
01:15:03Kara spotted it
01:15:04in the donations at the shop.
01:15:07She saw your name and his name
01:15:08engraved side by side.
01:15:10Difficult for her to make the connection.
01:15:11I saw you.
01:15:13You had your hands on him.
01:15:14I was trying to grab him.
01:15:16And you knew him.
01:15:18There's only one reason you'd lie about that.
01:15:23I'm sorry.
01:15:24Where are you going?
01:15:26Kara, please.
01:15:30She was going to the police.
01:15:32You hid her body in a cupboard.
01:15:36You moved it to the locker at the weekend.
01:15:38You knew they were going to the tip.
01:15:40But what if she'd confided in someone else?
01:15:42I read her messages.
01:15:45And that there was one to Estelle.
01:15:48Something like,
01:15:49I'm...
01:15:50I'm worried.
01:15:52He knows that I know.
01:15:54We believe that message referred to something else.
01:15:57It was about her friend, Rhys.
01:16:01It had nothing to do with you.
01:16:07How did you fake the video call footage?
01:16:11I...
01:16:11I filmed myself over the weekend
01:16:14and I switched the feeds.
01:16:17Counselling an event
01:16:18at such short notice
01:16:20is an insult
01:16:21to the work of this committee.
01:16:24Do you have any idea
01:16:26how difficult it is
01:16:27to secure a speaker
01:16:28like Pierce Mayhew?
01:16:30He is your brother.
01:16:33Was it that difficult to book him?
01:16:36He is the region's
01:16:37best-selling total offer.
01:16:39In his recent address
01:16:40on social media,
01:16:41I simply don't see how...
01:16:43We appreciate it.
01:16:45Item two on the agenda.
01:16:47Second-hand uniform sale.
01:16:49So you ran over there.
01:16:51They were too busy shouting
01:16:52at each other
01:16:53to pay any attention to me.
01:16:54I knew the whoopee.
01:16:55And as a PTA head,
01:16:58I am entitled to call
01:16:59an American...
01:17:00It's...
01:17:01It's...
01:17:02It's...
01:17:02It's...
01:17:02It's...
01:17:03It's...
01:17:04It's...
01:17:04It's...
01:17:05It's...
01:17:05It's...
01:17:05It's...
01:17:06But the incriminating globe
01:17:19was still out there.
01:17:21That was you,
01:17:21the break-in at Moira's shop,
01:17:23trying to get it back.
01:17:23Kyra said it was there,
01:17:25but when I broke it
01:17:26and I couldn't find it.
01:17:28You know,
01:17:28I knew that Dominic
01:17:29had seen it, though.
01:17:31That graffiti
01:17:31in the staff room.
01:17:33I...
01:17:33I never told them
01:17:34my middle name.
01:17:36You were afraid
01:17:37that he'd work it out?
01:17:39He knew about the incident
01:17:40on the school trip.
01:17:41Everyone did.
01:17:41There you go.
01:17:46Oh, thanks.
01:17:47Oh.
01:17:49Presented to
01:17:49Timothy Hillary Crawford.
01:17:52Year 8
01:17:53by Mr. Vincent Bell,
01:17:54headmaster.
01:17:55Imagine going through school
01:17:57with a middle name, Hillary.
01:17:59Vincent Bell?
01:18:01I knew I heard that name.
01:18:03That old guy
01:18:04who died on the Year 12 trip.
01:18:05Was it?
01:18:06I can't remember now.
01:18:08Yeah.
01:18:09It definitely was.
01:18:10Bell's a pretty common name.
01:18:11But the Vincent Bell
01:18:14who died
01:18:14was a retired teacher.
01:18:15Oh.
01:18:16It said so in the papers.
01:18:19Sir,
01:18:20why would you say
01:18:21you didn't know?
01:18:24You killed him.
01:18:2519 years old.
01:18:28I didn't want to.
01:18:31I just thought
01:18:32if I could get the globe back.
01:18:34You murdered Cara,
01:18:35Estelle and Dominic
01:18:36to cover up
01:18:36the truth about
01:18:38Vincent Bell's death.
01:18:40Where was this going to end?
01:18:41Holly Randall
01:18:42saw that globe too.
01:18:44Was she next?
01:18:45A week ago.
01:18:54That was me.
01:18:56A good teacher.
01:19:00A good man.
01:19:04That's the one thing
01:19:05Vincent Bell did for me.
01:19:08He made me want
01:19:09to be a teacher too
01:19:10so that I could do better.
01:19:11and I did
01:19:17do better.
01:19:22I don't understand
01:19:24how I let this happen.
01:19:25to be a teacher.
01:19:28Sir, sir.
01:19:55Sir.
01:19:57I've almost left this in the office.
01:20:04Oh, thank you.
01:20:05That's great.
01:20:06Oh, it's brilliant.
01:20:07Rebel.
01:20:08You don't know the half.
01:20:13I'm going to join you for the second round, actually.
01:20:15There's something I need to do first.
01:20:27It's okay. I haven't come to interrogate you.
01:20:34I just thought you might be feeling like you've messed up and that there's no way to come back from it.
01:20:39So, I just wanted to tell you about something.
01:20:42What is it?
01:20:44Something incredibly stupid that I did when I was around your age involving a sports field and a bottle of weed killer.
01:20:53Well, I don't get it. What was it?
01:20:58Well, it turned out it was the making of me.
01:21:02All right. Come on in.
01:21:12Just once around the block?
01:21:17Yeah. As long as he gets a decent walk at lunchtime, he'll be fine.
01:21:20Definitely. What do you look like, eh?
01:21:22No, sorry about that. I'll get the next round in.
01:21:25There's no need. It's on Jamie.
01:21:27Ah!
01:21:28Who will also be dog-sitting next weekend, jet-washing the patio and helping you trim that edge.
01:21:34Because we brokered a deal.
01:21:38Everything tells me this is bad.
01:21:41So, I finally went through the boxes in the shed and it turns out your mother kept it.
01:21:48The local paper with a full-page spread detailing your little teenage incident that led to your suspension.
01:22:03Nobody breathes a word of this to Betty, okay?
01:22:06Because I'm supposed to set an example.
01:22:08I'm a figure of authority and sound judgement.
01:22:11Oh, for goodness sake, it's not that funny.
01:22:13It is. I mean, the sheer scale of this artwork.
01:22:16Anatomically correct?
01:22:18Yes. I mean, you can see it from space.
01:22:20It did take me quite a while.
01:22:22Oh, this is amazing.
01:22:25This might be the greatest day of my life.
01:22:33Yes.
01:22:34A милли-ton of mothers.
01:22:35A word for the monster.
01:22:36It's a great thing.
