00:00:25You want me up, won't you?
00:00:33You're unit D, okay, holding this line.
00:00:36I don't expect there to be any trouble, but if there is, I'm sure we'll be able to contain
00:00:39it at the farm.
00:00:41Now, keep the press out of it.
00:00:44Bring them up for interviews and footage when it's all over.
00:00:47Well, they won't like that.
00:00:48Tough.
00:00:49We're bending the rules, having them here as it is.
00:00:51H hour in four minutes.
00:00:55Best of luck.
00:00:58H hour?
00:01:01Then it's kind of like happy hour, except without the drinks.
00:01:08For every female character in Shakespeare who conforms to society, there is one who flouts
00:01:13it.
00:01:14So for every Desdemona, there's a Cleopatra, for every Ophelia, a Lady Macbeth.
00:01:19But before we applaud him as a proto-feminist, remember, for these women to deny society,
00:01:25he feels they must also deny themselves as women.
00:01:29Witness Lady Macbeth unsex me here.
00:01:32Cleopatra trying on Antony's sword.
00:01:35Cress...
00:01:37Oliver, what's so funny?
00:01:40Ah, it's nothing really.
00:01:43Please, give it to me.
00:01:46The rest of you.
00:01:48iPhones, iPods, Twitters, whatever else, off.
00:01:50Play with them outside, not in here.
00:01:53You can have it at the end.
00:02:03Um...
00:02:06Where was I?
00:02:08Cressida.
00:02:08Cressida.
00:02:09Yes, Cressida, who wished she was a man.
00:02:14Cressida who said of women who shall be true to us when we are so unsecret to ourselves.
00:02:23But when the planets, in evil mixture to disorder, wonder what plagues and what portents, what
00:02:30mutiny, what raging of the sea, shaking of Earth, commotion in the winds, frights, changes,
00:02:38horrors divert and crack the unity and married calm of states.
00:02:48Oh, when Degree is shaped, which is the ladder of all high designs, the Enterprise is sick.
00:02:54Take the Degree away, untune that stream, and hark what discord follows.
00:02:59On your knees!
00:03:00Get off your knees!
00:03:01Get off your knees!
00:03:01Give your hands where I can see him!
00:03:03On the ground!
00:03:04You!
00:03:04On the ground!
00:03:05Now!
00:03:05Come down!
00:03:06Come down!
00:03:06Come down!
00:03:07Come down!
00:03:13Strength should be lord of imbecility, and the rude son should strike his father dead.
00:03:20Force should be right, or rather, right and wrong should lose their names, and so should
00:03:26justice too.
00:03:34Ever appealed to you the action-y side of things, running and fighting and stuff?
00:03:39Well, ran a bit as a young copper.
00:03:44Shouted, oi, you, sometimes quite loudly.
00:03:47Usually did the trick.
00:03:50Unit D!
00:03:51Perimeter breach!
00:03:54Unit D's us, isn't it?
00:03:55Unit D, acknowledge!
00:03:57We've got a runner!
00:04:05He's heading for that!
00:04:06Lock him in!
00:04:09Get him in!
00:04:10I'm gonna die!
00:04:24Note when he died!
00:04:26Number one!
00:04:27No!
00:04:38No!
00:04:40No!
00:04:41No!
00:04:41That's an awful...
00:04:44Oh!
00:04:45Whoa!
00:04:47Oi!
00:04:49I said enough!
00:04:52Oh!
00:04:52Oh!
00:04:52Oh!
00:04:55That's it?
00:04:56You're recording.
00:05:03And tis this fever that keeps Troy on foot, not her own sinews.
00:05:09To end a tale of length, Troy in our weakness stands, not in her strength.
00:05:19Oh, man.
00:05:20Tale of length, all right.
00:05:21Still only an egg one.
00:05:23Right.
00:05:24Back here tomorrow, PM.
00:05:26We're gonna get to the good stuff soon.
00:05:28Dopey Troyless and faithless Cressida.
00:05:31Played by my tar of a girlfriend.
00:05:54Professor Thornton.
00:05:56Sebastian.
00:05:57You're still up?
00:05:59Yeah.
00:05:59I'm still up.
00:06:01Just doing some, er, some recording, actually.
00:06:03Complete works of Shakespeare for the internet.
00:06:05That sounds like a good idea.
00:06:06It is.
00:06:08Considering I didn't get where I wanted to go.
00:06:11Yes, that was a pity.
00:06:13Still, good luck with the Shakespeare.
00:06:19Who was that?
00:06:19No, we don't know the once famous Miranda Thornton.
00:06:24Fish without a bicycle.
00:06:26Oh, wow.
00:06:27She was your chooser.
00:06:29That's so cool.
00:06:32You're just too nice for this work, Brian.
00:06:39In you go.
00:06:44Who's your cunt?
00:06:46I hear you two saved Inspector Peterson's bacon.
00:06:49They certainly did.
00:06:51Quick thinking.
00:06:52Quick reactions.
00:06:53Very impressive.
00:06:54You got beaten up, too.
00:06:56Excellent.
00:06:57We can add assault and a police officer to the other charges.
00:07:00We're glad to be of help, ma'am.
00:07:01And you were.
00:07:02It was an unqualified success.
00:07:04Three acres of cannabis under hydrophonic cultivation.
00:07:06Street values in the tens of millions.
00:07:08Personally, I'd legalise the lot.
00:07:10Fortunately, you're not in charge of the country's drug policy, Hathaway.
00:07:13Sorry, ma'am.
00:07:14The, er, press are ready for us, ma'am.
00:07:16Inspector Lewis, would you like to...
00:07:18No, no, no.
00:07:19You'll show me.
00:07:23He's gonna be Chief Constable one day.
00:07:26And I'm going to be retired, thank God.
00:07:29Are you gonna see a doctor about your face?
00:07:31Just a little bump.
00:07:33I'm sure Dr Hobson would take a look at it.
00:07:35Funny.
00:07:37Or do you have to be dead first?
00:08:09Orando.
00:08:13I feared you wouldn't show.
00:08:15You must do our duty, master.
00:08:17As bad as that, is it?
00:08:21Promise not to throw anything at him.
00:08:24I can't promise.
00:08:25But I'll try.
00:08:33Miranda.
00:08:35Francis, what are you doing here?
00:08:37I'm covering a very important man for my paper.
00:08:41Excuse me.
00:08:41No, he's not the reason I came.
00:08:44I won't be put off so easily, Miranda.
00:08:45I know you.
00:08:47I know what you're hiding.
00:08:48I can help.
00:08:48Please don't.
00:08:49Look, you're embarrassed.
00:08:50I understand that.
00:08:51You understand nothing.
00:08:53Stay away.
00:09:04Police arrested a notorious cannabis gang unearthing a drugs call
00:09:08with a street value of tens of millions of pounds.
00:09:11Our reporter, Samantha Earnshaw,
00:09:13witnessed the chase and the capture of the gang's ringleader
00:09:16and sent us this report from the scene.
00:09:19At exactly 3.35 p.m. today,
00:09:22more than 30 officers from the Oxfordshire Police Force
00:09:25stormed the Joneses' farm at Sheepridge,
00:09:27the centre of a major cannabis-growing operation.
00:09:30The raid was commanded by Detective Inspector Alan Peterson,
00:09:34though it didn't go entirely to his plan.
00:09:45We were on hand to capture a daring bid for freedom
00:09:48by the gang's ringleader,
00:09:50who broke away from the main body of the police,
00:09:52escaped to the Land Rover through open fields,
00:09:55and was only stopped from getting clean away
00:09:57by the prompt action of Detective Inspector Lewis
00:09:59and Detective Sergeant Hathaway.
00:10:02Detective Chief Superintendent Innocent
00:10:04of the Oxfordshire Police Force reported
00:10:06that more than three acres of cannabis
00:10:08had been under hydroponic cultivation at the Joneses' farm.
00:10:12Hi.
00:10:13You watching this too?
00:10:15Best tally in years.
00:10:33Hey, is that Miranda?
00:10:36I saw your video,
00:10:37and maybe we could get together, you and I?
00:10:44Hey.
00:10:46Let's go.
00:11:20Professor Thornton!
00:11:35Professor?
00:12:11Professor Thornton!
00:12:14Professor of English Literature, discovered by one of her students, Oliver Bocock, supposed
00:12:19to have a tutorial with her this morning.
00:12:22I'm not with everybody today.
00:12:24Thought you were really sexy last night, sir.
00:12:26Quite the movie star.
00:12:28They'll get over it, eventually.
00:12:30What about CCTV?
00:12:33Nothing on this street, apart from the one outside Beaumont.
00:12:35I've requested a half-mile sweep in every direction.
00:12:51She live alone?
00:12:52Yes.
00:12:54No signs of a struggle, no marks on the body, empty vodka bottle in the bin, washed glass
00:12:58in the sink downstairs.
00:13:01Suicide.
00:13:01Well, I'd say yes, but firstly, we haven't found a note, and secondly, as well as not
00:13:06only a mobile phone, she has one of those answer machines, the sort that use a mini cassette.
00:13:11Oh, I remember them.
00:13:12Yeah, better than these digital things everybody has.
00:13:15The cassette is missing.
00:13:18And the machine's been wiped clean of prints.
00:13:38In the bathroom, painkillers.
00:13:41A bottle of these, half a bottle of vodka, lie on the bed, fade out.
00:13:45So it is suicide?
00:13:47Don't jump the gun, Inspector.
00:13:50Hey.
00:13:51What have you done to your face?
00:13:53Haven't you seen the telly?
00:13:54How me and Hathaway took down the notorious Jones drug cartel of sheepage?
00:13:59You're on the television.
00:14:00I can't believe I missed it.
00:14:01Oh, wow.
00:14:02My 15 seconds of fame made me.
00:14:03She had her 15 seconds, too.
00:14:06Wrote a book back in the 90s, how women could survive without men.
00:14:09It was quite influential.
00:14:10Did it influence you?
00:14:12Of course not.
00:14:13Came to that conclusion years ago.
00:14:16I think they could be quite a while.
00:14:19Miranda came to hate all the attention.
00:14:22She was delighted when it all blew over.
00:14:24She was an intensely private person.
00:14:30Did this extend to not only a mobile phone?
00:14:33Yes.
00:14:34Refused to acknowledge their existence.
00:14:36Quite a Luddite, really.
00:14:38Literature and landscape.
00:14:39That's what she cared for.
00:14:41What about family?
00:14:43No family.
00:14:43Never married.
00:14:45A few boyfriends over the years.
00:14:48Nice enough.
00:14:48None seemed to stick.
00:14:51This was in her hands when she died.
00:14:55Who is this money man?
00:14:57David Conley.
00:14:59Hedge fund manager.
00:15:00He had been buying up land for a housing development off Port Meadow.
00:15:04All he needed to complete it was a parcel of Beaumont College land.
00:15:08Miranda was vehemently against it.
00:15:11I had a drinks party here yesterday evening hoping that some kind of compromise...
00:15:16I met last night?
00:15:17Hardly.
00:15:18She didn't stay five minutes.
00:15:20What will happen to this scheme?
00:15:23Final vote by the governors was due today.
00:15:26We've postponed, obviously.
00:15:28But with Miranda out of the way, how will the governors vote?
00:15:30Most probably in favor.
00:15:32It will make Beaumont a lot of money.
00:15:35And we need money like Oxford needs houses.
00:15:52I heard about Professor Thornton.
00:15:55The master of Beaumont called.
00:15:57He also said he gave you my name, although I don't see how I can help.
00:16:01We were told she was the only one opposing your development scheme in Port Meadow.
00:16:06A scheme worth north of 50 million to you.
00:16:08Most people would consider that adequate motive for murder.
00:16:11Given she was the only dissenting voice,
00:16:14outvoting her would have been a lot less trouble than killing her, surely?
00:16:18Did you talk to her last night?
00:16:20Why would I do that?
00:16:21To try and persuade her?
00:16:23It would have been pointless.
00:16:25I knew her years ago here at Oxford.
00:16:27Once her mind was set, there was no changing it.
00:16:29You don't seem upset by her death.
00:16:32Well, I hadn't seen her in almost 20 years,
00:16:34and for the past two years we've been fighting tooth and nail.
00:16:37She cost me over seven million pounds in ridiculous environmental impact reports,
00:16:43so no, I'm not very upset.
00:16:45Well, she was upset about you.
00:16:47She was clutching this as she died.
00:16:57I have to take this.
00:16:58We're done, aren't we?
00:17:00Yeah, Alex.
00:17:02Hi.
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:03Yeah, I can talk.
00:17:06Uh, yeah, well, I was looking at those figures,
00:17:08and I really don't think they're gonna fly.
00:17:29Hi, Robbie.
00:17:30What are you doing here?
00:17:32I was just...
00:17:34I wanted to know if you were ruling suicide.
00:17:37Why?
00:17:39You find anybody who might have wanted to murder her?
00:17:41Not really.
00:17:43Just a very rich man who didn't like her at all.
00:17:46And someone who was very keen to remove all trace of him or herself from our house,
00:17:50but left a fingerprint on the answering machine's jet mechanism.
00:17:53And he matches?
00:17:54No, but it's something we can scare people with.
00:17:57What people?
00:17:59She didn't know anyone.
00:18:02See what I mean?
00:18:03One photo.
00:18:05Port Meadow.
00:18:06No people in it.
00:18:08No people anywhere.
00:18:10Just books.
00:18:12Literature and landscapes.
00:18:13That's all the master said she cared about.
00:18:15Maybe it wasn't enough to stop her reaching for the vodka and painkillers.
00:18:19Sorry, but I, uh, saw you come in here.
00:18:22Just wondered if you had any news.
00:18:25She wouldn't like that.
00:18:27You know, she's very particular about her books.
00:18:30Did you ever see Professor Thornton with anyone?
00:18:32No, she was always on her own.
00:18:34Although, obviously, she was trying to change that.
00:18:36She was?
00:18:37You didn't know?
00:18:39The Barker tape.
00:18:54There's Miranda Thornton.
00:19:00My name is Miranda.
00:19:03I teach English literature at Oxford, which either sounds deathly dull or completely out of touch.
00:19:10Neither of which I hope I am.
00:19:14I'm 39, and I am single, and I am looking for someone to share my life with.
00:19:22And to share their life.
00:19:24Your life.
00:19:27I don't care what you do, what you look like, or how much you earn.
00:19:32I just want someone to be with.
00:19:35To talk to.
00:19:37To make love to.
00:19:41I'm tired of wasting my life.
00:19:44I'm tired of lonely weekends.
00:19:47I feel like I've had my life on pause, and now I want to press play.
00:19:53So if you feel like I do, then please, take a risk.
00:19:57I have.
00:20:04Bloody hell.
00:20:06A writer of Fish Without a Bicycle was hunting for men.
00:20:10How many people would have seen that?
00:20:1554,000.
00:20:16I want people's comments.
00:20:18What sort of comments?
00:20:20Do you really want to know?
00:20:23I hope she dies.
00:20:27Good riddance, bitch.
00:20:29Posted by Bulldog10.
00:20:31Same as hope she dies.
00:20:32Who are these people?
00:20:34Welcome to the world of internet trolling.
00:20:36Leave your inhibitions at the door.
00:20:39Leave your humanity at the door, more like.
00:20:41I mean, look, the video says who she is, where she works.
00:20:44Suppose somebody wanted to do more than just write nasty stuff.
00:20:48Suppose they wanted to actually do something.
00:20:50Can we trace these people?
00:20:52The internet service providers, what have you?
00:20:54Well, the old 54,000.
00:20:56Well, not the worst.
00:20:57The most violent.
00:20:59I mean, to subject somebody to this level of abuse,
00:21:02it's not right.
00:21:03It's a hate crime.
00:21:05Let's get the techies on to it, man.
00:21:07Look at this.
00:21:08Heart and soul.
00:21:09What is it, an internet dating site?
00:21:12I thought that was supposed to be private.
00:21:14Hmm.
00:21:15So why is it on this Barker site?
00:21:17And why are the Barker still showing it?
00:21:19Still making money off it?
00:21:22Where are they, anyway?
00:21:23America, I suppose?
00:21:24Nope.
00:21:25Right here in Oxford.
00:21:32Hello?
00:21:34Please.
00:21:37Hello, police.
00:21:39Do you have ID?
00:21:41He's Lewis.
00:21:43I'm Hathaway.
00:21:44And I'm Bryony.
00:21:46Come up.
00:21:49Oh, this is the Barker dot biz.
00:21:52Global HQ, offices in Cambridge, London, Manchester.
00:21:55Not Newcastle.
00:21:56No, not yet.
00:21:57Why is that where you're from?
00:21:58Funny sins.
00:22:00Your sins are forgiven.
00:22:02Do you work here?
00:22:02Well, I really am studying PPE at St. Jude's.
00:22:06That girl's got to pay the bills.
00:22:10So...
00:22:11So, Professor Thornton's private videotape on the Barker website.
00:22:15Want to tell us how that happened?
00:22:18It's all right, Bryony.
00:22:19I've got this one.
00:22:21Who are you?
00:22:22Oh, I'm the boss, Kit Renton.
00:22:24Don't often get the bacon knocking on my door.
00:22:26Bacon?
00:22:27That's funny.
00:22:28And original.
00:22:28Yes, well, I'm a professional plagiarist.
00:22:30I don't really care about original, but I do care about funny.
00:22:33Why don't we repair to my office?
00:22:38We want to know how Miranda Thornton's video got onto your website.
00:22:43Well, since all postings are anonymous, I have no idea.
00:22:46Do you care what happened to her?
00:22:48Yeah, well, I'm sorry and all that, but I didn't kill her.
00:22:50She did that herself.
00:22:50You got a hold of a private video of her, broadcast it,
00:22:54humiliating her in front of the whole world.
00:22:56You don't think that contributed to her death?
00:22:58I didn't get hold of anything.
00:23:01Some anonymous person could have been Miranda herself posted it.
00:23:04You see, we're like a bulletin board.
00:23:06There's no editors.
00:23:07There's no rules.
00:23:08You just let it all hang out.
00:23:10Let the light shine in.
00:23:12You see something you think is funny or ridiculous, pompous, naff, whatever.
00:23:17You post it on the site, you sit back,
00:23:19and you see how many people agree with you.
00:23:21You must have known you were going to cause this woman a lot of pain.
00:23:24I didn't even know she was on the site.
00:23:26I mean, the posting had 50,000 hits before I even saw it.
00:23:29The fact is, Barker.biz hasn't broken any laws.
00:23:33You're unbelievable.
00:23:34Thank you very much.
00:23:35As fun as this is, I've got a meeting.
00:23:38Silicon Valley are falling over themselves to throw money at me.
00:23:41Well, they like the fact that you make money by driving people to kill themselves.
00:23:45As long as I get eyeballs on screens, they won't give a damn.
00:23:48Thing is, Mr. Renton, we don't know that she did kill herself.
00:23:51And if it is murder, I'll be after you and your website as an accomplice.
00:23:56Tell your Silicon Valley pals that.
00:24:10You decided what you're going to do?
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:13Take a leaf out of Renton's book.
00:24:16Use embarrassment as a weapon.
00:24:18He might love publicity, but I doubt whether a website like Art and Soul will.
00:24:23I want to talk to them.
00:24:25See who broke into their system and stole Miranda's video.
00:24:29Okay, you do that and I'll have another go at that girl, Bryony.
00:24:32Oh, Bryony.
00:24:34She was nice.
00:24:35Pretty.
00:24:36Was she?
00:24:38I'll see you back at the office.
00:24:46You must be Inspector Lewis.
00:24:48Well, you look like what I thought you'd look like, from your voice on the phone.
00:24:51But rather more kind.
00:24:54Sorry.
00:24:55Downside of the trade, making snap judgments.
00:24:57I'm Susanna Leland.
00:24:59I thought that's what the trade was meant to get rid of, snap judgment.
00:25:02It is, but it still comes down to chemistry.
00:25:06But you didn't come to talk about that.
00:25:08Miranda Thornton.
00:25:10Awful.
00:25:11Awful business.
00:25:12What I wanted to find out is how her video got out of Heart and Soul.
00:25:16I assume not everyone can just log on and check out one of your subscribers.
00:25:20Absolutely not.
00:25:21I mean, first, we're a members-only website.
00:25:23Not only do you have to pay a monthly subscription, but we have a pretty rigorous screening system.
00:25:28Screening against what?
00:25:29Perverts.
00:25:30Casual adulterers.
00:25:31As opposed to determined adulterers?
00:25:34Well, you joke, but yes.
00:25:35I've known lots of people stuck in loveless marriages who found happiness through our website.
00:25:40Okay, so how does one see one of the members' videos?
00:25:43Well, the videos are our unique feature, and we're especially protective of them.
00:25:47Not protective enough, obviously.
00:25:51I'd like to see a list of everyone who accessed Miranda Thornton's profile, whatever it is you call it.
00:25:57That could be tens of thousands of people.
00:25:59That's okay.
00:26:00That'd be our problem.
00:26:02Actually, no.
00:26:03That would be my problem.
00:26:04I have to protect my members' privacy.
00:26:06What about Miranda's privacy?
00:26:08I would love to help.
00:26:10Seriously.
00:26:11But I know my lawyers will say I can't give you what you want.
00:26:15I'm very sorry.
00:26:24Briony, what a coincidence.
00:26:27Is it a coincidence?
00:26:29No.
00:26:29Not really.
00:26:30I waited for you to leave your college, then followed.
00:26:32Oh.
00:26:33So you're stalking me.
00:26:34Well, I'm a policeman.
00:26:35It's surveillance, not stalking.
00:26:37Well, that doesn't sound very fair.
00:26:39It's fair if you're a policeman.
00:26:41Can I talk to you about Miranda Thornton?
00:26:44Right.
00:26:45I want to know why her tape got off heart and soul,
00:26:48and I think you'd point me in the right direction.
00:26:50All right.
00:26:51Oh, hi, Sebastian.
00:26:54Who are you?
00:26:56Detective Sergeant Hathaway, and you?
00:26:58None of your business.
00:26:58Why are you bothering her?
00:26:59Why are you so aggressive?
00:27:01I don't know.
00:27:01Maybe because I saw a weird-looking dude chatting up my girlfriend.
00:27:04Sebastian, it's all right.
00:27:05No, it's not all right.
00:27:06We'll leave at the studio.
00:27:07Okay, well, you go and I'll catch you up.
00:27:11I mean it.
00:27:19I'm sorry about that.
00:27:21He's just under a lot of pressure.
00:27:22Don't worry about it.
00:27:24Studio, are you a singer?
00:27:25No, we're recording Shakespeare's plays.
00:27:28All of them.
00:27:29Mm.
00:27:30Sebastian's idea.
00:27:31Wow.
00:27:31That is a lot of pressure.
00:27:32Which one do you want?
00:27:34Troilus and Cressida.
00:27:37I'm Cressida.
00:27:39Faithless Cressida.
00:27:44Look, this is all I'm gonna say.
00:27:46Barker's a bit like Wikipedia.
00:27:48What about users can edit it?
00:27:49Yeah, and get into the operating system.
00:27:52If you pull the video, you might find there's a source code embedded in it.
00:27:57I better get clean.
00:28:05Oh, Robbie.
00:28:07Need to talk to you.
00:28:09I've just been to an internet dating site.
00:28:12Meet someone nice?
00:28:13I said two.
00:28:14Not on.
00:28:16And it was for work, not the other.
00:28:18Glad to hear it.
00:28:20Look, there's anything wrong with the other.
00:28:22Over 20% of all married couples now meet on the internet.
00:28:26So I'm reliably informed by the magazines at my hairdressers.
00:28:30Going online.
00:28:31Exposing yourself to millions of strangers.
00:28:33I don't know.
00:28:33Don't knock it till you've tried it.
00:28:36You haven't?
00:28:37Oh, single woman my age.
00:28:39Any age.
00:28:40What are we supposed to do?
00:28:42Hang around in bars like...
00:28:43Like lumberjacks.
00:28:45Exactly.
00:28:47Online, you can reveal yourself relatively painlessly.
00:28:50Oh, nurse.
00:28:51I, um, saw you on telly.
00:28:54Good stuff.
00:28:57Oh, um...
00:28:58I'm sorry.
00:28:59We, uh, we haven't met.
00:29:01I'm kind of the new boy around here.
00:29:03Alan Peterson.
00:29:04Laura Hobson.
00:29:06Got any dead or mutilated bodies?
00:29:08I'm your girl.
00:29:09I'll bear that in mind.
00:29:15Anyway, the reason I was looking for you was Miranda Thornton.
00:29:19Oh, please tell me she was murdered.
00:29:22Is that what you want?
00:29:23Not what I want.
00:29:24I prefer that to the idea that her life was so unbearable
00:29:27she decided not to wake up again.
00:29:29Well, the jury's still out, I'm afraid.
00:29:30Blood alcohol was high.
00:29:32Stomach contents confirmed the ingestion of painkillers.
00:29:35Certainly enough to kill her.
00:29:37So why's the jury still out?
00:29:39There was some odd material in her lungs.
00:29:41Spores and fragments of herbs.
00:29:44Sage, rosemary, thyme.
00:29:46It's like Scarborough Fair.
00:29:48Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
00:29:50Remember me to one who lives there?
00:29:52Yeah, never mind that.
00:29:53So you're saying that Miranda was sniffing hers?
00:29:56Nobody inhales rosemary.
00:29:59You do if you've been listening to too much Simon and Garfunkel.
00:30:02I'm trying to have a sensible conversation.
00:30:04The fact is I don't know what it means.
00:30:06We're doing some more tests, but until then...
00:30:10Was I interrupting something?
00:30:12Yes.
00:30:14So what have you been doing?
00:30:25Brian implied that there may be clues in the video.
00:30:27I've got Gurdip on Barker's website, see what he can find.
00:30:30Which is hardly legal, but I'll just say I was obeying orders.
00:30:33I can't pretend I didn't hear that.
00:30:35However, I can't pretend I didn't just have a call from the lawyers for a dating website, heart and soul.
00:30:41They said they would not give their members details to the police, whatever the harassment.
00:30:45I didn't harass. I asked, politely.
00:30:48Furthermore, why are you investigating what's clearly a suicide?
00:30:52The pathologist hasn't ruled yet.
00:30:54So murder's still a possibility.
00:30:56Do you have any suspects?
00:30:58Well?
00:30:59Excuse me, Mum?
00:31:01I've been recovering Miranda's deleted emails.
00:31:03That website stuff?
00:31:05She got a date.
00:31:06Some journalist.
00:31:14Thanks very much, chap. Good luck on the weekend.
00:31:19Frances Mitchell.
00:31:21Your paper said you'd be here.
00:31:23Here I am. Who are you?
00:31:25Please.
00:31:26It's about Miranda Thornton.
00:31:29Well, I assume because you found me you know I had a date with her.
00:31:32And you know it was through a dating website, heart and soul. I'm not ashamed of it.
00:31:35Not need to be.
00:31:3620% of married couples get together through the internet these days.
00:31:40Is that true?
00:31:41It is, yeah.
00:31:42Information that's freely available by any lady's hairdresser.
00:31:45I wonder if you're thinking about talking about people who aren't already married to somebody else.
00:31:49Like Mr. Mitchell, are you?
00:31:51I wasn't aware that it was a crime.
00:31:53No. Just cheating.
00:31:56When did you last see Miranda Thornton?
00:31:58Just the one time.
00:32:02The master of Beaumont gave a drinks party two nights ago.
00:32:05I went along to meet David Connolly, the financier.
00:32:07Miranda was there. We spoke. Briefly.
00:32:09Were you invited?
00:32:10No. But it's my job to get into places I haven't been invited.
00:32:14Does that include Miranda's home?
00:32:16Of course not.
00:32:17What time did you get home that night?
00:32:19I don't know. About nine o'clock.
00:32:20And your wife will back you up on that, will she?
00:32:24Well, I doubt she was looking at her watch, but, er, yes, she will.
00:32:27Thanks. We'll be in touch.
00:32:32He was in a house, wasn't he?
00:32:34Oh, yes.
00:32:36It looks like Mitchell's telling the truth.
00:32:398.35, he leaves Beaumont.
00:32:42So if he lives at...
00:32:43Hang on, Sarge.
00:32:47David Connolly, well, well.
00:32:50Head fun guy and cheating journo.
00:32:53I didn't see the other bloke again, Connolly.
00:32:56I thought I'd lost Mitchell, too.
00:32:57Now, he lives up the Banbury Road, and he's on foot.
00:33:00So he should appear here or here or here within about ten minutes of leaving Beaumont.
00:33:07But he doesn't. He disappears.
00:33:10Until I got him again at 10.13, heading home.
00:33:14An hour and a half after he left Beaumont, an hour later than he said.
00:33:21What's that?
00:33:24Let's ask him.
00:33:41We don't have enough to fingerprint him, sir.
00:33:43Well, we've got him lying about what time he got home.
00:33:46And a missing 90 minutes when he was less than 100 yards from Miranda Thornton's house.
00:33:52What about the bins?
00:33:54Emptied this morning unless you want to go through the public dump.
00:33:57Which seems we don't know what we're looking for.
00:33:58Oh, hang on.
00:34:00He was looking around like he was checking no-one was watching him.
00:34:04He takes it out of his pocket. It's white. He crumples it in his hand.
00:34:08Like it's paper or, erm...
00:34:12Scarborough Bloody Fair.
00:34:15Thanks, James.
00:34:19Hi, are you still at work?
00:34:21You know me. Party, party.
00:34:23Yeah. Miranda Thornton's lungs.
00:34:26Herb fragments. Parsley sage.
00:34:29Was there anything else in there? Like, I don't know, food?
00:34:33Breadcrumbs? Flour?
00:34:34How on earth did you know that?
00:34:36Oh, I didn't. I'm all right.
00:34:38Not about the lungs, but I found in the tracheal cilia,
00:34:41herb spores, bread fragments, sugar crystals.
00:34:44Right, she'd have to inhale all that, wouldn't she?
00:34:46So if she had something like a plastic bag, a shopping bag over her head, would that explain it?
00:34:51Well, yes, but...
00:34:53That's what Mitchell was dumping. The plastic bag, the murder weapon.
00:34:56Hang on, what about the booze and the pills and the lack of a struggle?
00:35:00Yeah, my question's exactly.
00:35:01It can all be done after death.
00:35:03Mix the painkillers with the alcohol, pour it down her throat, arrange the body, tidy up, head for home.
00:35:08Thanks, Laura.
00:35:09Robbie, wait. Robbie.
00:35:11You still don't know it was a plastic bag?
00:35:13Not yet.
00:35:20So I told a porcupine about being out late and the CCTV cameras caught me.
00:35:25Doesn't prove a thing.
00:35:26The CCTV cameras also caught you dumping something in a rubbish bin.
00:35:30Fortunately, that bin hadn't been emptied.
00:35:33You can't connect me to anything.
00:35:34Your fingerprints will be all over it.
00:35:37It?
00:35:38What is it?
00:35:39The plastic bag you took from Miranda Thorntons.
00:35:48Forensic teams will be going back into her house and into yours.
00:35:52They'll take both places apart until...
00:35:55There's nothing to find.
00:35:56There's a cassette from an answering machine to find.
00:35:59It's gone.
00:36:03I destroyed it.
00:36:06I'm really sorry, but I didn't do it.
00:36:08Do what?
00:36:09Kill her.
00:36:12She was already dead.
00:36:19Why don't you tell us what happened?
00:36:23I went round to her house that night, after the drinks.
00:36:28I was desperate to see her.
00:36:30I knew I shouldn't.
00:36:32She'd asked me not to, but I'd had a lot to drink.
00:36:34I couldn't help it.
00:36:36I went into the...
00:36:41She was lying there.
00:36:45A plastic bag over her head.
00:36:48I pulled it off.
00:36:50She was...
00:36:53I panicked.
00:36:54I...
00:36:55I took the bag.
00:36:56I...
00:36:56I wiped the surfaces I'd touched.
00:36:59I took the answer machine cassette and I...
00:37:03And I left.
00:37:07I left her.
00:37:12Sorry.
00:37:42You must be pretty confident of your scheme getting through.
00:37:46Well, I suppose you should be, given that the main opponent's out of the way.
00:37:50You left Beaumont College in the company of Francis Mitchell at 8.35 the night Miranda died.
00:37:55Where did you go?
00:37:56I walked home.
00:37:57Which would have taken you right past Miranda's house.
00:38:00Did you go in?
00:38:01No.
00:38:01Can you prove that?
00:38:02Why should I?
00:38:04We believe Miranda was murdered.
00:38:06Her death is convenient to you.
00:38:08Her death makes no difference to me at all.
00:38:11Why do I get the feeling that it was something personal between you and Miranda?
00:38:15Because you have a very vivid imagination.
00:38:18I've told you already.
00:38:19I haven't seen Miranda in almost 20 years.
00:38:22What went on back then?
00:38:27Look, I have people waiting for me.
00:38:30I also have witnesses to the fact that I didn't go into Miranda's house.
00:38:34Where are they?
00:38:35California.
00:38:37After I talked to that journalist chap, I took a conference call from some investors in Palo Alto.
00:38:43It lasted the whole way home.
00:38:45It was about charging points for electric cars, if you must know.
00:38:49Why don't you talk to the people on the call?
00:38:51They'll tell you whether I murdered anyone or not.
00:38:56Until you pay me a recording of that call and I hear David Connolly talking about electric cars for 50
00:39:02minutes, he's a suspect.
00:39:04No, he's not.
00:39:06Your theory is rubbish.
00:39:07Oh, thanks very much.
00:39:09Which theory?
00:39:10That she was murdered.
00:39:11I did check.
00:39:12From the levels of alcohol and cold proxy oil in Miranda's blood, the painkillers were not ingested post-mortem.
00:39:17She was alive when she took them.
00:39:18Then who put the bag over her head?
00:39:20She did.
00:39:20What, pills, booze and a bag?
00:39:23With pills and booze, there's no guarantee that you won't throw up or be discovered before they've worked.
00:39:28The bag guarantees it.
00:39:29That's just speculation.
00:39:31No, Robbie.
00:39:32It's deduction based on facts.
00:39:34My version explains the absence of struggle in the house, injury to the body.
00:39:37Your version's just a fantasy.
00:39:38I am here, you know.
00:39:41If I could go.
00:39:42You stay.
00:39:43So, you're ruling suicide?
00:39:44I'm ruling an open verdict.
00:39:46Then you're still not certain?
00:39:49I believe she killed herself.
00:39:50What, you believe a brilliant woman killed herself because of some internet video?
00:39:55Wouldn't she fight?
00:39:57Try and find out who leaked it?
00:39:59Instead of just, just giving up?
00:40:01You'll have my report in two hours.
00:40:05I found who downloaded the video.
00:40:07It was a legitimate heart and soul subscriber.
00:40:10I thought they said it'd be impossible to identify who'd done the download.
00:40:13It's not.
00:40:14It's easy.
00:40:15You got a name?
00:40:16Uh, yeah.
00:40:17Maison Nouvelle.
00:40:18Sounds American.
00:40:21It's a pun.
00:40:23Maison Nouvelle, Maison Nouvelle, Casa Nueva.
00:40:26Casanova, the great lover.
00:40:30Even if I was willing to release this information, there are literally thousands of-
00:40:34We know that every heart and soul download has the name of the downloader encoded.
00:40:40I told you.
00:40:41I can't release confidential client information.
00:40:46Is that it?
00:40:47Not quite.
00:40:48We'll be seeking a judicial order to have your site closed down.
00:40:51What?
00:40:52On what grounds?
00:40:54On the grounds that you've recklessly exposed the identities and addresses of your clients
00:40:58to potential predators.
00:41:01Wait.
00:41:07Maison Nouvelle, I only have a credit card number and a mobile telephone number.
00:41:13Yeah.
00:41:15Don't join on the credit card.
00:41:17It's registered to Chilcot Services in Jersey.
00:41:19Sounds like an off the shelf.
00:41:20Well, the phone's real enough, apparently.
00:41:23According to the GPS trace, it's somewhere within half a mile a year.
00:41:27Good.
00:41:27It's just checking addresses.
00:41:29Yeah.
00:41:30Okay.
00:41:32Hazel Graphics, New Form Yoga, and Galloway's Recording Studios.
00:41:38Recording Studio, that's it.
00:41:39What address is that?
00:41:42Is this the Lady Cresset?
00:41:44Even she.
00:41:46Most dearly welcome to the Greeks, sweet lady.
00:41:52Bryony.
00:41:53She works at the Barker, gets a hold of Miranda's video, gets herself a hit.
00:42:02Damn it.
00:42:04Who the hell forgot to turn their phone off?
00:42:08It's yours, Sebastian.
00:42:14Hello?
00:42:15Mr. Mason Nouvelle.
00:42:19Who is this?
00:42:21The police.
00:42:31Mason Nouvelle.
00:42:33Guilty.
00:42:34You went on the Heart and Soul website?
00:42:36Oh, come on.
00:42:37It was just a joke.
00:42:39Casanova.
00:42:40No, I got it.
00:42:42Subscribing to Heart and Soul, was that a joke or were you looking for romance?
00:42:45I've got my romance.
00:42:47Beautiful Bryony.
00:42:49Why pick on Miranda Thornton?
00:42:52Well, I saw her, um, her, what do you call it?
00:42:57Her entry.
00:42:58Her profile.
00:43:00Her bleeding heart.
00:43:02The author that told women that they didn't need men anymore, basically begging for a shack.
00:43:09I mean, come on.
00:43:11I thought that was quite funny.
00:43:12You find a lot of things funny.
00:43:15Professor Thornton was your tutor.
00:43:18Did you have a grudge against her?
00:43:20Why should I?
00:43:22Beaumont College, you've sent me a lot of letters that you wrote.
00:43:25Angry letters.
00:43:27In which you blame her for your not getting a post-graduate place at Stanford University in the United States.
00:43:35Well, she gave me a pretty mediocre reference.
00:43:39Which is pretty damned unfair given that I worked my cuts out for her.
00:43:43I mean, you know what these Americans are like.
00:43:46Everything has to be first class and triple A plus with knobs on and any hint of English hesitation or
00:43:54reservation and you're nowhere.
00:43:56And thanks to her, that's exactly where I ended up.
00:44:00Nowhere.
00:44:01How did you find Miranda on heart and soul?
00:44:04Sebastian, my name is Felicity Prye. I'm here to represent you. Don't say anything else.
00:44:10On what grounds has he been questioned?
00:44:12Harassment.
00:44:13He broadcast a woman's private video on the internet causing her such distress she killed herself.
00:44:19Harassment is a pattern of activity over a period of time, not a one-off.
00:44:23His alleged action might be in poor taste, but it's not a crime.
00:44:26Poor taste? A woman died?
00:44:28Has he been charged with a crime?
00:44:32I thought not.
00:44:33Come on, Sebastian.
00:44:41Excuse me, Miss Pryor? How did you know Mr Drongle was being...
00:44:45It's none of your business.
00:44:46We've sent for legal aid for him, but you're not legal aid, are you?
00:44:50Who's paying you, Miss Pryor?
00:45:07What's the verdict?
00:45:10They're all as shifty looking as each other.
00:45:13Hathaway.
00:45:14Hathaway.
00:45:14Oh yeah, hang on a sec.
00:45:16Go ahead.
00:45:20First results on the ISP search for the obnoxious trolls on the Barker website.
00:45:24Guess where Bulldog 10 lives?
00:45:29Mitchell pretends to be in love with Miranda while posting hate mail and wishing she was dead.
00:45:41My wife is upstairs putting the kids to bed. So what the hell is all this about?
00:45:46You posting 27 offensive messages on the Barker website about Miranda Thornton?
00:45:52Saying, amongst other things, that you're a stuck-up cow and I hope you die.
00:45:58We traced your login name, Bulldog 10, to the computer at this address.
00:46:05Mrs Mitchell.
00:46:08What's happening?
00:46:11Have you been using my computer, Helen?
00:46:15Have you been cheating on me, Francis?
00:46:20Mrs Mitchell, did you post on the Barker website?
00:46:24And where were you three nights ago the night Miranda Thornton was killed?
00:46:28At home, making dinner for our children.
00:46:31And then I went to work a night shift at the Clarkson Old People's home.
00:46:36God knows what my husband's alibi is, but it better have nothing to do with me.
00:47:04I remember the results.
00:47:05But I had a physical fiber that was weakDo.
00:47:07My husband's audiologist,ess, GT owners, and I said hello,
00:47:07I did not know what they were thinking of.
00:47:07I am really trying to cope with you and understand.
00:47:08And, did you know I bad?
00:47:09I was looking for those.
00:47:09We could meet up if you guys can buy a blind boulewoman.
00:47:10On a房 to learn as well.
00:47:11I remember everything, I so.
00:47:11That's nice, I might give one more opportunity,
00:47:17That's the question I was supposed to be the día hall.
00:47:26What can I do for you this time?
00:47:28We were questioning the ex-student
00:47:31who leaped Miranda Thornton's video onto the internet
00:47:33when a lawyer named Felicity Pryor turned up,
00:47:37put an end to the interview.
00:47:38Did you send her?
00:47:39No.
00:47:40As far as I'm concerned, you can question the little sod all you want.
00:47:43In fact, you can take him outside and beat the truth out of him.
00:47:45How did you know it was a hymn?
00:47:48The same way as I made a lot of money, by guessing.
00:47:52Miranda had just the one picture in her rooms,
00:47:54a view across Port Meadow.
00:47:56Why would she choose that?
00:47:58I've no idea.
00:48:00Why did you choose Port Meadow?
00:48:02Oxford needs affordable housing.
00:48:05Why Port Meadow?
00:48:11What did she do to you?
00:48:34Thanks.
00:48:35And thanks for meeting me.
00:48:38Pleasure.
00:48:39Cheers.
00:48:41Sorry, Robbie, I was being a real cow.
00:48:44Oh, my fault.
00:48:46Wanting something to be true, not waiting for all the facts.
00:48:49Think you've got them now?
00:48:51No, but she's dead.
00:48:53And we move on.
00:48:56Except not if you're taking her home with you.
00:49:02She took a risk.
00:49:04Looked at her life.
00:49:06Tried to change it.
00:49:08She got destroyed.
00:49:12Doesn't mean you shouldn't take a risk.
00:49:18Lewis.
00:49:19Laura.
00:49:21I didn't know you came here.
00:49:22It's my favourite pub.
00:49:23You don't mind if I...
00:49:23Not at all.
00:49:24Oh, great.
00:49:25Thanks.
00:49:29Oh, Oxford.
00:49:30On a summer's evening.
00:49:31Is there a lovelier place in the world?
00:49:33Not a one.
00:49:34Hmm.
00:49:35Where were you before?
00:49:36Oh, Sunderland.
00:49:37It's not exactly...
00:49:38Steady.
00:49:39No slander in the northeast.
00:49:42Sorry.
00:49:42My, um...
00:49:43My lips are sealed.
00:49:44Cheers.
00:49:52Hey.
00:49:54Hello.
00:49:55What do you want?
00:49:57I want to talk to you about your boyfriend and Miranda Thornton.
00:50:00Well, talk to him then, not me.
00:50:02He is your boyfriend, isn't he?
00:50:05Don't you want to know what he was doing on an internet dating website,
00:50:07calling himself Casanova, trawling the web for women twice his age?
00:50:12You think he downloaded the video?
00:50:13I know he did.
00:50:15Did you?
00:50:17No.
00:50:19So, either your boyfriend is a worthless cheat,
00:50:21or he went on that site to find and humiliate Miranda,
00:50:25which he did either out of spite,
00:50:26or because someone put him up to it.
00:50:28Now, who would that be?
00:50:30And who gave him the idea to put it on Barker's?
00:50:33Is that you?
00:50:34No.
00:50:35Then who?
00:50:36Ask Sebastian.
00:50:37He works at Barker.
00:50:38He knows all about her.
00:50:40Then he knows Renton.
00:50:42Yes.
00:50:43Kit's the one funding these recordings.
00:50:45Yeah, and supplying him with lawyers.
00:50:47Wait, what do you mean?
00:50:48When we tried to question him, an expensive lawyer turned up and shut us down.
00:50:51Now, we know he wasn't working by himself, but we can't find out for sure.
00:50:56Then I can.
00:50:57Yeah.
00:50:59You can sit on the sidelines, Brian, or you can try and put things right.
00:51:06Most dearly welcome to the Greeks, sweet lady.
00:51:11Is this the Lady Cresset?
00:51:13Even she.
00:51:14Most dearly welcome to the Greeks.
00:51:16Are you going to tell me what it was about?
00:51:18You and the police?
00:51:20Why don't you ask your new boyfriend?
00:51:22Our general...
00:51:22Gangly copper.
00:51:23Oh, come on, Sebastian.
00:51:25That's not fair.
00:51:25I just want to know what's going on.
00:51:27What's going on?
00:51:27I'm trying to finish this play.
00:51:31Kit's giving me deadlines, you know?
00:51:34To a better, she would kiss in general.
00:51:38Kit means a lot to you, doesn't he?
00:51:42Well, given he's anyone who's putting food in my mouth, yeah.
00:51:44He does.
00:51:49Most dearly welcome to the Greeks, sweet lady.
00:51:53Our general doth salute you with a kiss.
00:52:22I'm tired of wasting my life.
00:52:26I'm tired of lonely weekends.
00:52:29In love, if faith, to the very tip of the nose.
00:52:34He eats nothing but doves, love.
00:52:37And that breeds hot blood.
00:52:39And hot blood begets hot thoughts.
00:52:42And hot thoughts beget hot deeds.
00:52:44And hot deeds is love.
00:52:46Is this the generation of love?
00:52:49Hot blood, hot thoughts, and hot deeds?
00:52:52Why, they are vipers.
00:52:54Is love a generation of vipers?
00:52:59Sweet lord, who's afield today?
00:53:00Sweet lord, who's afield today?
00:53:11Sebastian.
00:53:12I'm really sorry, but before, I was, um, just, you know, uh...
00:53:19I finished Troyless.
00:53:21Thought you might want to come listen.
00:53:23Actually, I'm working.
00:53:24Well, I'll come round.
00:53:26And I'll bring the discs.
00:53:28It's good.
00:53:29It's very good.
00:53:30You especially.
00:53:31No, I said I'm working.
00:53:36Miss Embry, is everything okay?
00:53:40Look, I know it's a bit of a crap.
00:53:44I don't want to talk now, Sebastian.
00:53:45Good night.
00:54:00Good night.
00:54:38Good night.
00:54:41Bean to death.
00:54:42Skull crushed by three or four blows by that.
00:54:48Which presumably came from there.
00:54:51Her purse and her phone are missing.
00:54:53She could have been mugged.
00:55:01Could it have been a mugging?
00:55:02Well, it's hardly my job to say.
00:55:04Any idea when?
00:55:06Sometime last night.
00:55:07And from the lividity, it was down here.
00:55:08Is, um...
00:55:12Hathaway okay?
00:55:26If you're going to ask what Bryony was doing in a blind alley that late, don't.
00:55:33She's killed here.
00:55:36Her college in Jude's is here.
00:55:38Recording studio is here.
00:55:41Barker.biz is here.
00:55:42So, she's on her way back to the college.
00:55:45Either from the recording studio or from Barker's.
00:55:49Why would she be at the Barker?
00:55:51Because I made her go there.
00:55:53I bullied her.
00:55:54And to find out more about her boyfriend, Sebastian.
00:55:57But again, why the Barker?
00:55:58Because he works there.
00:56:00Renton's his sugar daddy.
00:56:01Renton supplied the lawyer.
00:56:03So, Sebastian posted the video on the internet, but Renton was pulling his strings.
00:56:09The question is, did Bryony find something that made her a target, and if so, what?
00:56:14Lewis, I suppose you want an apology.
00:56:16Ma'am?
00:56:18Bryony Keegan's murder supports your theory that there was a conspiracy behind Miranda Thornton's death.
00:56:24Apology accepted, ma'am.
00:56:26You're welcome.
00:56:27Now, do you have any leads?
00:56:28I asked her to look into how her boyfriend was able to get a hold of Miranda's video.
00:56:32She must have uncovered a connection between the people who wanted her out of the way.
00:56:36Unfortunate, but it is sometimes necessary to ask help of the public.
00:56:40Let's just hope it doesn't bite us on our collective behind.
00:56:43Lewis, Miranda Thornton's yours.
00:56:45Hathaway, you find who killed that girl.
00:56:47D.I. Peterson will assist you.
00:56:48Ma'am, I don't need any help.
00:56:50By rights, I should remove you from the case altogether, Hathaway.
00:56:54We need to wrap this up ASAP.
00:56:56Do it with D.I. Peterson, or don't do it at all.
00:57:02Let me call Bryony.
00:57:06Probably around 11.15.
00:57:08I asked if I could come and see her, and she said she was busy.
00:57:10Where was she?
00:57:11I thought she was at St. Jude's, but when I went around, she wasn't there.
00:57:15Then where was she?
00:57:17I have no idea.
00:57:19After that, where did you go?
00:57:22My flat.
00:57:23I got drunk.
00:57:24I went to sleep.
00:57:25Anyone back you up on that?
00:57:27Okay, am I a suspect here?
00:57:31You're a boyfriend.
00:57:34You're the last person to talk to her.
00:57:36We have to clear you before we can proceed.
00:57:39Well, then you're going to have to wait for my lawyer.
00:57:42You know, saying that just makes it seem like you're hiding something.
00:57:47Yeah, coming.
00:57:48I'll wait for my lawyer.
00:57:49Why do you think Bryony lied to you about where she was?
00:57:57Lawyer.
00:58:00Lawyer, lawyer, lawyer.
00:58:17Yeah, I didn't know Bryony very well, but from what I could see, she was a very special person.
00:58:21She had a kind heart and a brilliant mind.
00:58:27Well, for her to just be so brutally cut off like this, beggar's belief, her mind, thoughts
00:58:33and prayers go out to her family, I just hope the police will do everything within their
00:58:38power to bring her...
00:58:39Can old people use those?
00:58:51Never seen her before.
00:58:53Pretty girl.
00:58:54She's dead.
00:58:55Where were you between the hours of 9pm and 2 last night?
00:58:58Not out killing young women.
00:59:00Who said she was killed?
00:59:02The news.
00:59:03I was asleep in bed.
00:59:04Why are you asking me all this?
00:59:06Miranda Thornton's death helps you.
00:59:08This girl has information about Miranda's death, therefore her death helps you.
00:59:12Therefore I murdered her.
00:59:14Well, it just depends on what your little property scheme means to you.
00:59:21Tell me what you're afraid of.
00:59:25I came to Oxford 20 years ago with nothing.
00:59:28I left with nothing.
00:59:30Now I'm going to make my mark on it for good.
00:59:33That's what my little property scheme means to me.
00:59:35And to hell with anyone who gets in your way.
00:59:48I had, uh, several drinks up in my local.
00:59:52Uh, tons of witnesses there if you want to ask them.
00:59:55Uh, staggered back to my pad in Summertown and, uh, slept the sleep of the just.
00:59:59Alone?
01:00:00Alas, yes.
01:00:01There's a chance Bryony was working here just before she was killed.
01:00:05We'd like to send in a crime scene unit to, uh, search the officers and its computers.
01:00:11For what reason?
01:00:12We believe she may have obtained some information relevant to our inquiries.
01:00:15I'm sorry, she was working for you.
01:00:19No.
01:00:20Not exactly.
01:00:22Well, which one?
01:00:23No or not exactly?
01:00:27Right, okay.
01:00:28So, on the off chance that she might have been in my office, and even off the chance that
01:00:34she might have found something that might help you out of the hole into which you've dug
01:00:38yourselves, you want me to just throw my business open to your prurient gaze?
01:00:42Thanks.
01:00:43No editors.
01:00:44No rules.
01:00:45Let it all hang out.
01:00:46Let the light shine in.
01:00:47These are your words.
01:00:48What are you afraid of?
01:00:53Whatever.
01:00:54Search away.
01:01:21Miranda Thornton, did she make any calls from her home on the night she died?
01:01:24Miranda had no mobile, but we checked her landline.
01:01:27No calls.
01:01:29So, she left the master's drinks party, went straight home.
01:01:32Didn't call anyone, didn't talk to anyone.
01:01:34Actually, that's not completely true.
01:01:37She spoke to the porter.
01:01:39When I checked the CCTV around Beaumont, I looked at the system in the Porter's Lodge first.
01:01:44Professor Thornton came through around 6.30.
01:01:47I had work with the porter.
01:01:48It was really brief, like, goodnight.
01:01:55There she is.
01:01:58What's she doing?
01:02:01Well, that's Robin on duty.
01:02:05Maybe he...
01:02:07Ah, he's given her change.
01:02:11She was always asking.
01:02:13Last person in the world without a mobile.
01:02:16But she doesn't use it.
01:02:19Yeah.
01:02:20She does.
01:02:22Check those numbers.
01:02:24You've got the time.
01:02:25Yes, sir.
01:02:27Nothing from the crime scene or CCTV.
01:02:29Nothing from the interviews.
01:02:30Searches at Barker offices ongoing, but it doesn't even look like she logged into the system.
01:02:34What does Inspector Lewis think?
01:02:36In fact, where is Inspector Lewis?
01:02:38Here.
01:02:39Miranda knew Kit Renton at Oxford.
01:02:42They ran against each other for presidency of the union.
01:02:451995.
01:02:46Miranda won.
01:02:47Which helps us how?
01:02:49Well, first, Renton pretended he didn't even know her until she popped up on his website.
01:02:54But second, she talked to her the night she died.
01:02:56But we checked her phone records.
01:02:58Yeah, she called on the pay phone in the porter's office at Beaumont.
01:03:01Why would she do that?
01:03:03She wanted to confront the man who caused the nightmare.
01:03:06She spoke to him for five minutes.
01:03:08I knew I was right.
01:03:09We must have missed something.
01:03:11Yes, we have.
01:03:12Look who took the photo.
01:03:16Yes, look.
01:03:17Susanna Leland.
01:03:19Heart and soul.
01:03:21They all knew each other.
01:03:24What a looker.
01:03:26She's not bad either.
01:03:28Miranda phoned your Oxford home the night she died.
01:03:30Did she?
01:03:31The call lasted five minutes.
01:03:33What did you talk about?
01:03:34I have no idea.
01:03:36I get thousands of phone calls.
01:03:37I can't remember them all.
01:03:38Why didn't you tell us that you knew her?
01:03:40Why should I?
01:03:41And you think it was relevant?
01:03:43Well, I have to do your thinking now for you, do I?
01:03:46Relevance is your job.
01:03:47That's right.
01:03:47And what's relevant is that you knew Miranda.
01:03:50And for some reason, which we don't know yet, you caused her death.
01:03:54Why would I bother?
01:03:55I mean, can't you accept that single, middle-aged women sometimes commit suicide?
01:04:00No, we can't accept it.
01:04:01Not now Bryony Keegan's been found dead as well.
01:04:04I'm sorry.
01:04:04What has she got to do with Miranda?
01:04:06You.
01:04:07You connect both women and whatever that connection is, we'll find it.
01:04:12Okay.
01:04:13You have harassed me, disrupted my business and got one of my employees killed.
01:04:18I'm warning you, stay out of my life.
01:04:21Are you threatening us, sir?
01:04:25Smile, boys.
01:04:32Let's go and talk to the other photographer.
01:04:36The thing is, what reason does Renton have to kill Miranda?
01:04:39He wouldn't care if she sued him.
01:04:41It is business. All publicity is good publicity.
01:04:45Unless his Silicon Valley investors don't want to be dragged through the course.
01:04:51Sir.
01:04:55We forgot who else was at university with Miranda.
01:04:58Connolly.
01:04:59Which means he was there at the same time as Renton and Susanna Leland.
01:05:04And here he is, less than a mile from Leland's office.
01:05:08Why should I deny knowing Miss Leland?
01:05:11She invited me to lunch.
01:05:14It's 4.30. Long lunch.
01:05:15We were discussing her business.
01:05:17Is this the first discussion?
01:05:19We've been talking for about a month.
01:05:21We meet whenever I'm back in Oxford.
01:05:23You know Kit Renton too, don't you?
01:05:25Again, why should I deny it?
01:05:26Why didn't you tell us this before?
01:05:29All of you were at Oxford together.
01:05:31Yet not one of you has mentioned a single word about it.
01:05:33Have you got something to hide?
01:05:35No. I told you I knew Miranda.
01:05:37She was who you were inquiring about.
01:05:38Have you been in contact with Renton?
01:05:41He came to me asking for money.
01:05:42Things are a bit tough in the modern media world.
01:05:45He said he had investors falling over him.
01:05:47Falling over him to get out of the door.
01:05:49He has no head for business.
01:05:51Do you give him any money?
01:05:53I'm considering it.
01:05:54Even though he has no head for business?
01:05:57Well, maybe it's for old times' sake.
01:05:59Or because he helped you get rid of Miranda Thornton.
01:06:03Renton needs money.
01:06:04You say, OK.
01:06:06But I need help with a little problem.
01:06:09Is that what Bryony Keegan found out?
01:06:11Evidence of a deal between you two?
01:06:13I've told you already.
01:06:14I know nothing about that young woman.
01:06:17Now, is that everything?
01:06:18Or should I live in fear of you driving your car into mine?
01:06:38It's fine.
01:06:39Yes, David was here.
01:06:41Talking about your business.
01:06:43Ostensibly.
01:06:44I could be wrong.
01:06:46But I sense that David's finally looking to settle down.
01:06:49He's interested in you.
01:06:51I sound so surprised, Inspector.
01:06:53Do you know anything about this?
01:06:55I don't even know what I'm looking at.
01:06:57Kit Renton, Miranda Thornton and S. Leland.
01:07:00That's you, isn't it?
01:07:01I took a photo of two people nearly two decades ago.
01:07:04Oddly means that I...
01:07:05Come on. Don't embarrass yourself.
01:07:07You were at Oxford at the same time as Renton and Miranda.
01:07:10Even in the same college as Miranda.
01:07:12Why didn't you tell us?
01:07:14Because I was embarrassed.
01:07:18Because, inadvertently, I'd hurt a friend.
01:07:20Maybe even caused her death.
01:07:22Well, you knew she was on your side.
01:07:23Oh, no. Not until afterwards.
01:07:25I don't vet every client.
01:07:26And I doubt Miranda knew I was involved.
01:07:28We'd lost touch.
01:07:29Well, how did Kit Renton know?
01:07:32I thought that was the hacker.
01:07:33What was his name? Mason Navelle?
01:07:35No, we think he was put up to it by Renton.
01:07:37Why would Renton do that?
01:07:40Kit and Miranda had history.
01:07:42They ran against each other for president of the union, and Miranda won.
01:07:46Hardly surprised.
01:07:47She was clever, pretty, queen of the town.
01:07:50Well, Kit hates to lose, for all he affects not to, and he got nasty.
01:07:54He spread rumours that she'd slept her way to victory.
01:07:57Just a joke, but that's Kit.
01:08:00Always took it too far.
01:08:02Like his horrible website.
01:08:03So you're saying he went after her because he hadn't got over some student thing?
01:08:08I don't know. Kit's complex.
01:08:12So what's the story with David Connolly and Miranda?
01:08:16They went out for a little while, odd as it may seem.
01:08:20Well, in other words, she crooked her finger, he came running.
01:08:23He was such a gangly, shy, minor public schoolboy then, quite out of his depth.
01:08:28Look at him now, master of the universe.
01:08:31I know what happened is the worst possible advertisement for what we do here,
01:08:35but try us out sometime.
01:08:38You're lonely. You needn't be.
01:08:40Thanks, sir.
01:08:41I was lucky. I had the best.
01:08:46Well, actually, I'm not attached.
01:08:51It's a lot.
01:09:11You need to get to the station now.
01:09:14All right, what's up?
01:09:15Just come in.
01:09:25Renton's revenge. We've been barked.
01:09:27I heard. A friend called, as did a lot of people who weren't friends.
01:09:32Given that our telephone numbers, our addresses, and worse than that, he says we used Briony to investigate a case,
01:09:40exposed her and got her killed.
01:09:42You mean he says I used Briony?
01:09:45Well, it's just malicious gossip.
01:09:47That's all it takes.
01:09:50What if we're wrong?
01:09:51I mean, we searched Barker, we found nothing.
01:09:54We're not even 100% sure Briony was there.
01:09:56Well, she used her code to sign in to the building, her code to sign out 45 minutes later.
01:10:01Yeah, but what did she find?
01:10:02Well, it's just the problem.
01:10:04Apparently, Briony didn't even log onto their system.
01:10:07She was there for 45 minutes.
01:10:08Hmm, well, Gurdip did a full data transfer. He's going through it now.
01:10:14Where are you going?
01:10:15You don't need to come.
01:10:17Yes, I do.
01:10:26What if it isn't the video starts?
01:10:35What's that, Des?
01:10:37I hope you've picked the right side here, Sebastian.
01:10:40I really do.
01:10:45I just want to know why. What point were you hoping to make?
01:10:49Well, firstly, I warned you.
01:10:52Second point, I wanted to have some fun.
01:10:55And boy, did I. You and Briony.
01:10:58Yeah, Sebastian said you had a little crushette.
01:11:01You shouldn't have made her do all your dirty work, should you?
01:11:03Third point.
01:11:07A 24% jump in sight. Traffic this morning.
01:11:12Got the dinosaurs, the old media, knocking on my door.
01:11:15So please, gentlemen, arrest me. Drag me out in cuffs.
01:11:19You haven't done anything illegal.
01:11:20Yet, here you are harassing me again.
01:11:23You keep it up, I'll keep it up.
01:11:26Everyone thinks that you two are a couple of prats now.
01:11:28But don't worry, with a couple of taps of the keyboard,
01:11:30I can make them love you again.
01:11:31Does it bother you that we have two murders still unsolved?
01:11:34How can we do our jobs with this going on?
01:11:36You see, isn't that the real point?
01:11:38I mean, you lot, you barge into people's lives,
01:11:41expect everyone to stand to attention,
01:11:43answer your questions, treat you with respect.
01:11:45Well, guess what, boys?
01:11:45You don't have that respect. Not anymore.
01:11:53Oh, great.
01:11:55Bully cops!
01:11:56That sounds about right.
01:11:59Care to comment, Sergeant Hathaway?
01:12:01Any truth to the allegations?
01:12:02It's only a little internet story now,
01:12:04but I know my paper will take it.
01:12:06And it's one phone call to London,
01:12:07and the tabloids will come running too.
01:12:08And then you'll really know what it's like
01:12:09to have your life turned inside out.
01:12:11Everything we did, Mr. Mitchell, we did to find out
01:12:13why Miranda Thornton died,
01:12:15a woman you claim to have had feelings for.
01:12:17And all we got was lies and obstructions
01:12:19from people like you.
01:12:20Now you're preventing us investigating
01:12:22the murder of an innocent girl.
01:12:25Comment enough for you?
01:12:33So it did bite us on the behind.
01:12:37The switchboard's been inundated with calls.
01:12:39I assume your phones have been getting the same treatment.
01:12:41Oh, yes.
01:12:43There have also been quite a few rubber neckers
01:12:45outside your homes,
01:12:46but I don't believe any petrol bombs have been thrown...
01:12:49yet.
01:12:51Dr. Hobson is in the middle of a tricky post-mortem.
01:12:53She asked me to give you these.
01:12:55She said you're welcome to use her place
01:12:57for as long as you need to.
01:12:58Make yourselves at home.
01:12:59There's beer in the fridge.
01:13:00The alarm's just inside the front door,
01:13:02and the code is 0000.
01:13:18I know.
01:13:20I can't leave it alone.
01:13:25And I also know that if I hadn't pushed things,
01:13:29a lot of other things wouldn't have happened,
01:13:30like,
01:13:32Bryony.
01:13:37How many women do you know
01:13:39who keep a fridge full of cold beer
01:13:41and read Patrick O'Brien?
01:13:43Who's Patrick O'Brien?
01:13:45Fine historical novelist.
01:13:48What?
01:13:52Maybe nothing.
01:13:53Or maybe...
01:13:56You know that student, Oliver,
01:13:58who turned the book around?
01:14:01This photo was taken two months ago
01:14:03for the college prospectus,
01:14:04and this is from the crime scene.
01:14:06Look at the books on those two shelves.
01:14:09They've been rearranged.
01:14:11And not very well.
01:14:14As I said, maybe it's nothing, but...
01:14:16No, it isn't.
01:14:17Paradise Lost next to Dickens.
01:14:20Shakespeare next to Ulysses.
01:14:22Either she was ground-pool.
01:14:23Or there was some kind of fight.
01:14:25The bookcase got hit,
01:14:27the books fell out,
01:14:28got put back,
01:14:29but not by Miranda.
01:14:30Brenton?
01:14:31Yeah, he did respond to her phone call.
01:14:33He came round.
01:14:34She said she would sue him.
01:14:36Well, the publicity would scare off the investors
01:14:38he badly needed.
01:14:39They argued she wouldn't back down.
01:14:41What about the vodka and the pills?
01:14:43Well, we know she'd been drinking.
01:14:44He just had to slip the painkillers into a glass
01:14:47and put a bag over her head.
01:14:48She'd fight, but not for long.
01:14:51Yeah, I know Hobson would say that's fantasy,
01:14:53but we can test it.
01:14:54Get the Sockos down here,
01:14:56compare the photos,
01:14:57any book that's out of place,
01:14:58you scan it for Renton's fingerprints.
01:15:01Except we haven't got his damn prints.
01:15:04We do.
01:15:06When he held the photo of him and Miranda.
01:15:09I'll call Socker.
01:15:13You don't give up, do you?
01:15:14Look, I've been doing my job,
01:15:16getting into places I've not been invited.
01:15:18This is from Miranda's locker in the Redcliffe camera.
01:15:21Her paper's on the Port Meadows scheme.
01:15:23These are at the bottom.
01:15:25Addressed to David Connolly,
01:15:26written to him 20 years ago,
01:15:27returned unopened.
01:15:30David Connolly?
01:15:32I asked her on our one and only date
01:15:34how someone like her
01:15:35could have been single for so long.
01:15:37She said it was because she'd been in love.
01:15:40Deeply in love for nearly 20 years.
01:15:42And she'd only just come to realize
01:15:44what a fool she'd been.
01:15:46Those letters explain why.
01:15:50If she was murdered,
01:15:51I hope you catch the man who did it.
01:15:53I really do.
01:15:56Oh, and one last thing.
01:15:58The governor's voted on Connolly's scheme this afternoon.
01:16:01Turned it down.
01:16:03So Miranda won?
01:16:04She won.
01:16:06For what it's worth.
01:16:12So she did cheat on him?
01:16:15No, according to her,
01:16:17somebody was spreading rumors,
01:16:19writing scurrilous articles that she did.
01:16:21Guess who?
01:16:22Renton.
01:16:23Right.
01:16:24She denies it,
01:16:25tries to prove that the alleged infidelity never happened.
01:16:28And he never opened his letters.
01:16:31Minor public schoolboy out of his depth.
01:16:34Is that what Susanna Leland said?
01:16:37Now Susanna says he's chasing after her.
01:16:40She doesn't seem to mind.
01:16:42Maybe it's because he's a multi-millionaire.
01:16:44Here.
01:16:49Oh dear.
01:16:56This is where we were happy.
01:16:58Please come back to me.
01:17:02Oh, he came back alright.
01:17:04Tried to build houses all over it.
01:17:35What's his name?
01:17:35This one.
01:17:36Oh dear.
01:17:36This lady.
01:17:42I knocked.
01:17:43The door was open.
01:17:44What do you want?
01:17:46You're leaving Oxford.
01:17:48The country.
01:17:50Scheme's dead.
01:17:51Why stay?
01:17:52You're going too.
01:17:53David invited me.
01:17:54We need a break.
01:17:58Something to read on the beach.
01:18:00No, thank you.
01:18:02I've had all the explanations I need from that woman.
01:18:04You haven't even read them.
01:18:06She made a fool of me once.
01:18:07I won't let her do it again.
01:18:09What on earth are you talking about?
01:18:11She's dead.
01:18:26Here.
01:18:27Look at this.
01:18:30What?
01:18:31What am I looking at?
01:18:33Thersites.
01:18:34Read them.
01:18:36Three separate reports of my girlfriend screwing her way around town.
01:18:41And the ever-so-serious Mr. Connolly.
01:18:44Always the last to know.
01:18:45It's just gossip, man.
01:18:47Read the last paragraph.
01:18:49I would never give credence to such sordid rumors
01:18:52had I not personally been offered the goods.
01:18:55Who is this creep?
01:18:58Renton.
01:19:00What?
01:19:02Renton was Thersites?
01:19:05Who wrote that?
01:19:06Come on, David.
01:19:07Don't tell me you didn't know.
01:19:12It doesn't mean it's not true.
01:19:14I mean, why would he lie?
01:19:16Why?
01:19:17Because Miranda had won.
01:19:20Because he hated to lose.
01:19:22Because he's a vindictive, troublemaking bastard.
01:19:27For a clever man, you're remarkably stupid.
01:19:30Miranda wasn't cheating on you.
01:19:33Read.
01:19:34Read.
01:19:34And weep.
01:19:41Please, go.
01:19:42David, you can't let this...
01:19:44Ransom was your friend.
01:19:45David.
01:19:46Get out!
01:19:53Thanks.
01:20:13Can I ask you a question?
01:20:16Did you go out with David when you were at Oxford?
01:20:19You didn't call it that?
01:20:21Was this before or after Miranda?
01:20:26What does it matter?
01:20:28Miranda broke his heart.
01:20:30Left it useless for everyone and everything else.
01:20:33Except making money.
01:20:52Crime scene guys have finished their sweep.
01:20:54Material's being analysed.
01:20:55Yeah, I still don't see how this helps us with the Bryony investigation.
01:20:58Well, the closer we get to Miranda's killer, the closer we get to Bryony's.
01:21:00I've got something, sir.
01:21:02Out of Barker.
01:21:03From Bryony?
01:21:03She did log on to the system.
01:21:05But not as herself.
01:21:06As her boyfriend, Sebastian.
01:21:08She must have known his password.
01:21:09What did she look at?
01:21:10All deleted.
01:21:11Everything she looked at.
01:21:12How does this help?
01:21:14Whoever scrubbed the material forgot to check Sebastian's emails.
01:21:17She sent him one from his own account.
01:21:20Talk about a generation of vipers.
01:21:22I can't believe what you did to that woman.
01:21:24I'm taking it to the police.
01:21:26Taking what to the police?
01:21:27Evidence of a conspiracy, ma'am.
01:21:29But as all the files have been scrubbed, we can only guess who's involved.
01:21:32Not true.
01:21:33Bryony is accusing Sebastian.
01:21:35Therefore, she knows he's involved.
01:21:36Therefore, he knows who else is involved.
01:21:38Then get him in here and drag the truth out of him.
01:21:40Lawyer or no lawyer.
01:21:44Half the way.
01:21:46Yeah, we're on our way to Sebastian's flat.
01:21:47Meet you there.
01:21:51If I be false, I'll swerve a hair from truth.
01:21:55What's the play?
01:21:56When time is old and hath forgot itself.
01:21:58When water drops have worn the stones of Troy.
01:22:02And blind oblivion swallowed city heart.
01:22:05What happened?
01:22:06The money guy happened.
01:22:08Connolly.
01:22:08What did he want?
01:22:10To know what, Renson got me to do him around this video.
01:22:12You told him?
01:22:13Yeah, because I thought he was going to kill me.
01:22:15Bryony emailed you.
01:22:16You knew she was going to the police.
01:22:19You tell Renson this?
01:22:23When?
01:22:26When?
01:22:27That night!
01:22:29After she had emailed me.
01:22:31Look, I'm sorry.
01:22:32I didn't ever think that he would do that.
01:22:35So it's Renson.
01:22:37Last to speak to Miranda.
01:22:38Last to know about Bryony.
01:22:41Peterson.
01:22:42Yep.
01:22:43We're on our way.
01:22:44Disturbance at the Barker offices.
01:22:46Connolly.
01:22:54The man answering Connolly's description arrived at Barker fifteen minutes ago.
01:22:57Made two employees leave.
01:22:59Locked the doors.
01:23:00Rent net?
01:23:01Julie.
01:23:02Yes?
01:23:03Good news, Sarge.
01:23:04We've got a match on the prints in Professor Thornton's house.
01:23:06On some of the books and in the bathroom.
01:23:09The medicine cabinet.
01:23:16Mr. Connolly!
01:23:18It's the police!
01:23:20Food?
01:23:20There's got to be a bank hall.
01:23:22Come on, wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:23:28Oh, God, no.
01:23:34What happened?
01:23:36The coward locked himself in his office.
01:23:38I tried to break down the door.
01:23:40Keep that lunatic away from me.
01:23:43You see?
01:23:44You should lock him up!
01:23:45That boy told me what he did.
01:23:46He killed Miranda and then he killed that girl.
01:23:48I didn't touch anyone!
01:23:49You lying shit!
01:23:50He's not lying.
01:23:51He didn't kill Miranda.
01:23:53Fingerprints aren't his.
01:23:55Susanna Lennon.
01:23:59Miranda warned you she was gonna sue you.
01:24:01You and Susanna.
01:24:02You went and told Susanna.
01:24:04Yes, because the whole videotape thing was her idea.
01:24:07And I certainly didn't tell her to kill anyone.
01:24:09You knew what she'd done and you kept quiet.
01:24:12You told her that Briony was going to the police.
01:24:14You let Briony be killed.
01:24:17You can't prove a word of that.
01:24:19Your phone records will prove it.
01:24:23I want my lawyer.
01:24:25I'll take him to the station if you get Susanna.
01:24:30Don't leave town, Mr. Connolly.
01:24:32We're gonna need your statement.
01:24:34Why did Susanna do it?
01:24:37Several reasons.
01:24:37Most important.
01:24:39Because she knew while Miranda was alive, she'd never get you.
01:24:44What will happen to Renton?
01:24:46Everything the law will allow.
01:24:48Good.
01:24:50He may not have killed Miranda, but his lies destroyed her.
01:24:55Destroyed us.
01:24:56Unfortunately, that's not a crime.
01:24:59We could have been together.
01:25:02Yeah.
01:25:03You just had to open her letters.
01:25:29I wondered if you'd come.
01:25:32We know what happened.
01:25:34Clever policeman.
01:25:36Renton's talking.
01:25:37Forensic to put you in Miranda's house.
01:25:39Poor Miranda.
01:25:41What a way to go.
01:25:44No.
01:25:46Thought about it.
01:25:47No.
01:25:51You killed Miranda.
01:25:53No.
01:25:53I hated her.
01:25:56She could have had anyone, and she had to take mine.
01:26:00Briony.
01:26:00Well, why did she have to stick her nose in?
01:26:03Why?
01:26:04I didn't want to.
01:26:05I didn't.
01:26:07I...
01:26:07I'm sorry.
01:26:20So, how come her prints were on our system?
01:26:25Ah.
01:26:26Clever.
01:26:27In fact, sneaky.
01:26:28I wondered why you'd taken it.
01:26:30Her automatic assumption?
01:26:31I was single.
01:26:32I knew she had to be bad to the bone.
01:26:43Miranda and Connolly.
01:26:46In love with each other for 20 years and never said a word.
01:26:51Scared of rejection?
01:26:52So, they bury themselves in their work.
01:26:57Become very successful.
01:26:59And very alone.
01:27:02Now, who does that remind me of?
01:27:22Woohoo!
01:27:24Woohoo!
01:27:26In that nowhere.
01:27:27There ain't no
