00:00:11I wouldn't worry, but I don't want a wine setter full of this stuff.
00:00:19It's a very nice place.
00:00:22It's a true story.
00:00:24It's sad.
00:00:26It's so nice.
00:00:27Straight out of my house.
00:00:29Exactly.
00:00:30I mean, don't get me started on a tale submissive.
00:00:33It'd be better if there wasn't red tape everywhere you turn.
00:00:36Well, there is a lot of history to protect in Oxford.
00:00:39I'm just saying, these planning regs, they cripple a small business like mine.
00:00:44Maybe it's time to stop being a small business then, Bri.
00:00:47Now, where am I to even get some return on my investment, eh?
00:00:50Oh, that's the one good thing about Croatia.
00:00:52You can do what you like with your own property.
00:00:54Yes.
00:00:55It's on.
00:00:56Oh, my.
00:00:59I'm a friend of mine.
00:01:01Just to keep me in the holidays.
00:01:05You never cared if I had no room for you.
00:01:10You never cared if I had no room for you.
00:01:12You never cared if I had no room for you.
00:01:13So here's to you, my rambling boy.
00:01:29Well, it's going to be my project.
00:01:33You never cared if I had no room for you.
00:01:36You never cared.
00:01:46You never cared if I had no room for you.
00:01:51You never cared if I had no room for you.
00:01:56Are you all right?
00:01:59I need a drink.
00:02:06All right.
00:02:09Fine.
00:02:10Thanks.
00:02:16Would you like some more wine, Jack?
00:02:17Oh, thank you.
00:02:18Just to, just to try.
00:02:30We're still on the wine.
00:02:32I'm going on to the grain.
00:02:35Oh, wonderful.
00:02:36So we can expect embarrassing jokes any time now.
00:02:42Jack, would you come over here and help
00:02:44me open the dessert wine?
00:02:47Come along, good doggy.
00:02:52I know he's a bit of a flirt.
00:02:54Doesn't mean anything.
00:02:56Thanks, Robbie.
00:02:56I didn't know who else to talk to.
00:03:01He said he'll pay the mortgage and send money for the boys.
00:03:06See if that's all that matters.
00:03:08Well, I'll try to talk to him.
00:03:10This flap he's taken.
00:03:12Yeah.
00:03:14All right.
00:03:16I'll call him, please.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:19He's blocking my calls, but he'll listen to you.
00:03:22Well, I'll do my best.
00:03:23I'm sure it's just a, people don't change that much.
00:03:29Jack's a good bloke.
00:03:31And he thinks the world of you and the boys.
00:03:33I know he does.
00:03:34Hmm.
00:03:39So, Pop, driving.
00:03:41OK.
00:03:43You want more?
00:03:45Mmm.
00:03:45That'll be great.
00:03:46Watch your liver.
00:03:47Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:49Lovely.
00:04:06Jack, it's Robbie Lewis, just touching base, and I'll see how you are.
00:04:12Um, give us a ring sometime.
00:04:15Well, at any time, if you think there's anything I can do to help in any way.
00:04:20Um, you must miss the boys a lot, and, er, well.
00:04:28Oh.
00:04:38PIANO PLAYS
00:05:19There you go, wild youth, wild lass.
00:05:23Great, Dad. More jobs like this, I can stop doing Mr Miller's funerals.
00:05:26Don't turn your nose over at funerals. We all die eventually.
00:05:29Good, steady income.
00:05:31Morbid.
00:05:33And you...
00:05:35Do some studying.
00:05:36I will.
00:05:41Are you OK, Dad? Do you know?
00:05:44No.
00:05:46I'm not.
00:05:47You sure you won't...
00:05:49One day at a time, eh?
00:05:52Don't worry.
00:05:53Sober as a judge.
00:06:17Jack, can I get you a liqueur?
00:06:18Uh, thanks. No. Driving.
00:06:20I thought you just had a flash your warrant card if you got stopped.
00:06:24Those were the days.
00:06:25VIOLEN PICT,
00:06:26I'm not?
00:06:35I'm not.
00:06:36I'll go to the次, when I get up to my friends.
00:06:37Oh, my God.
00:06:40I'm not.
00:06:41You love me.
00:06:42OK.
00:06:43You love me.
00:06:43What are you waiting for?
00:06:44What are you waiting for?
00:06:44You know what I'm waiting for?
00:06:46It's coming for you.
00:06:51You or your children?
00:06:52I'm not.
00:06:54Because of you, littleagram.
00:07:19You're getting in then?
00:07:25Stop kicking off in there.
00:07:30Stop being a small businessman.
00:07:32Who the hell does he think he is?
00:07:34My boss.
00:08:18You're the woman I love, and I love what it's doing to you.
00:08:24You're supposed to be studying.
00:08:26I'm a woman in love, and I love what it's doing to me.
00:08:31I didn't have to keep it.
00:08:35I wouldn't put you through it.
00:08:38Gross!
00:08:39That's never gonna happen to me, babe.
00:08:42Good.
00:08:44That's me.
00:08:45Just gotta hope it sticks.
00:08:47I was supposed to get my hat from work.
00:08:49Oh, Lee, I knew you'd forget.
00:08:51It's all right.
00:08:52I can go and get it.
00:08:53You stand no chance.
00:08:55Everyone goes as Dracula.
00:08:56Yeah, but not everyone has a beautiful corpse.
00:09:00There is more to Dracula than a set of fangs, you know.
00:09:10All packed and ready to go.
00:09:13Time for a last pint.
00:09:19So, Pristina.
00:09:20Holiday resort, is it?
00:09:22Not quite a resort, no.
00:09:24Oh.
00:09:24But it's seaside?
00:09:27Not exactly, sir.
00:09:29I've cleared my desk.
00:09:30I don't think there's anything else, don't I?
00:09:31I'm a poster boy of police efficiency.
00:09:34Try and stay that way.
00:09:37What's up?
00:09:38When people change, try and keep hold of who you are.
00:09:43I'm going on holiday for a week.
00:09:44I'm not joining the foreign legion.
00:09:46I wouldn't have you.
00:09:47Too posh.
00:09:50What do you mean?
00:09:50Yeah, wasn't it?
00:09:52Oh, hello.
00:09:58I'll see you in ten minutes, Todd.
00:10:10I'm going to get the eye rake on my right then.
00:10:13Oh, no, no, no.
00:10:17It's all right.
00:10:17Well, thanks.
00:10:18I've watched some belly dancing on YouTube,
00:10:20and I'll try it later.
00:10:58What's it, Trevor?
00:10:59Where is it, that?
00:11:00There was someone there.
00:11:01You know, a view in a body.
00:11:03Never mind.
00:11:04Come on, the others went in ages ago.
00:11:06Put your fangs in.
00:11:11What, let's be able to look around the immediate area.
00:11:14See what you can find.
00:11:23Morning, Robbie.
00:11:25Laura.
00:11:25What we got?
00:11:28Gentlemen of mature years.
00:11:29Been dead some time, but a bit of a puzzle.
00:11:31No maggots.
00:11:32No visible pooling.
00:11:33Tongues not distended.
00:11:35The nails.
00:11:35Spare us.
00:11:37Best suit, polished shoes.
00:11:39Clean white hanky in top pocket.
00:11:42No underpants.
00:11:44No kecks.
00:11:45No kecks.
00:11:45Ah, you can take that lad out of Newcastle.
00:11:50Not your usual focused self, Robbie.
00:11:54Where's Hathaway?
00:11:56On his holidays.
00:11:58You ever meet Jack Cornish?
00:12:00Fast track detective, destined for great things.
00:12:03Yeah, I met him, why?
00:12:04Well, it's just, we were always great mates.
00:12:08You know, cut from the same cloth and ignore me.
00:12:14Is that it?
00:12:16Afraid not, saving the best till last.
00:12:18If I were to say all the usual offices have been performed.
00:12:23Thing is, Robbie, this gentleman's already been put through the tender hands of an undertaker.
00:12:42Interesting.
00:12:44That's before the 15th.
00:12:46That was when, last week.
00:12:48You're a single bloke.
00:12:50Zap it in the microwave.
00:12:52Be fine.
00:12:57You know Jack Cornish well?
00:12:59Yeah, I've worked with him for three years.
00:13:01Well, the big gossip that even I can't avoid is he's having an affair with Tara Faulkner.
00:13:08Peter Faulkner's wife?
00:13:10Pretty solid.
00:13:11Everyone knows.
00:13:12Oh, Jack's wife doesn't.
00:13:14Please, Robbie.
00:13:15No wonder he's not answering the phone.
00:13:17Peter Faulkner's wife?
00:13:19Have you met her?
00:13:20Well, I've spent a few fruitless hours interviewing her husband.
00:13:24We didn't like each other much.
00:13:25So I hear.
00:13:27Not a good partner for an ambitious copper.
00:13:29Your pal needs to extricate himself double quick.
00:13:33Haven't you got a body to investigate?
00:13:53There's no obvious cause of death, no broken bones, skulls complete, hyoids intact.
00:14:00So, not battered or strangled then?
00:14:03Soft tissues are too decomposed to tell us anything.
00:14:06And the organs have been mucked about with.
00:14:08He can't do a blood test due to the embalming fluid in his veins.
00:14:13And still no identification?
00:14:15Nope.
00:14:16Been through all his pockets.
00:14:17You're enjoying this?
00:14:19I'm just wondering how you're going to start untangling it.
00:14:21With great skill.
00:14:24And without Hathaway, it'd be like having one hand tied behind your back.
00:14:32So I suppose there's not a lot you can do until you find out who this gentleman is or was.
00:14:37No.
00:14:37We're waiting for the search results, ma'am.
00:14:39And in the meantime...
00:14:40Yes.
00:14:41Come in, Gray.
00:14:44Sorry, ma'am.
00:14:45Er...
00:14:46I'm DC Gray, sir.
00:14:48Right.
00:14:50I was told...
00:14:52DC Gray is your right-hand man in Hathaway's absence.
00:14:56He's just out of uniform.
00:14:58Is he?
00:15:00Good.
00:15:03Maybe you could...
00:15:04Of course.
00:15:05Right.
00:15:06Yes.
00:15:09A detective constable.
00:15:11Thank you, ma'am.
00:15:12When I asked the volunteers to work with you, he was the only one who put up his hand.
00:15:16Be nice, Robbie.
00:15:17If Inspector Morse had been nice, I'd still be a sergeant.
00:15:20Yeah, well, that man's got a lot to answer for.
00:15:25Oof.
00:15:38None of these essays lightened my heart.
00:15:41But Liam Jay words fail me.
00:15:45Where is he?
00:15:47Any idea?
00:15:51I thought he'd be here.
00:15:53Sorry.
00:15:54Why should you be sorry?
00:15:56It's hardly your fault.
00:15:58Usually when work is cribbed wholesale from the net, some small effort is made to disguise
00:16:02the fact.
00:16:04Do tell him.
00:16:15At last.
00:16:16How do you fancy an hour or two busking?
00:16:19You're in so much trouble.
00:16:21Oh.
00:16:22See you later.
00:16:23The Bodleians heave in with Americans.
00:16:26We'll clean up.
00:16:27I promised your dad you'd start studying.
00:16:29And I will.
00:16:31Come on, Rhys.
00:16:32I need the money.
00:16:34We don't all live in a cosy little rent-free boat, do we?
00:16:40Don't be grumpy.
00:16:42How far is he having a holiday?
00:16:43As he is.
00:16:45Oh.
00:16:46Like that, is it?
00:16:48Ah, come on.
00:16:50He thinks I don't know about it.
00:16:52Some old churchy pals of his have roped him in for some do-goodery.
00:16:56Oh, no.
00:16:58Fixing up an orphanage.
00:16:59More or less press-ganged him into it.
00:17:02Or James.
00:17:03Ah, get in.
00:17:04He'll fit straight back in with all of them.
00:17:06He wouldn't have fun if it jumped up and smacked him in the gob.
00:17:10But you would?
00:17:11Well, I've had me share.
00:17:14In the distant past.
00:17:15Oh.
00:17:16Although you did give yourself up to wild abandon the other night.
00:17:21Friday?
00:17:22Oh, absolutely.
00:17:23I need to tell you.
00:17:24Drinking in the beauty of the river, standing in the dusk,
00:17:26and just gazing at the sight.
00:17:27Oh.
00:17:28Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:29A body.
00:17:30Well, I thought I saw a body.
00:17:34But it wasn't.
00:17:35It was a log.
00:17:38Oh.
00:17:44Yeah, Lewis.
00:17:48Neil Strictly.
00:17:51Good.
00:17:51Thanks.
00:17:54Name band.
00:17:56Cut off his wrist or his ankle.
00:17:58Found about 100 yards from the body.
00:18:00Still has something to work on.
00:18:03Sorry.
00:18:04Your treat.
00:18:08We're not asking you to break any confidences.
00:18:11I'm already late for my calls.
00:18:15He'd been our patient for three years.
00:18:17Nothing unusual about his death.
00:18:19Cancer.
00:18:20Do you know the family?
00:18:23I don't know any families.
00:18:25I just sit in there like a priest in the confessional,
00:18:28and they bring me their scabs and their limps
00:18:30and their imagined ailments one after another.
00:18:32I bet.
00:18:32You like your job.
00:18:35Probably as much as you like yours.
00:18:37Sorry.
00:18:38I can't be more help.
00:18:49You're the undertaker.
00:18:52Mr. Miller.
00:18:53Detective Inspector Lewis.
00:18:54Yeah.
00:18:54There's no way this is Mr. Strictly.
00:18:56We cremated him on Tuesday.
00:18:58You'd recognize him.
00:18:59Of course.
00:19:00I laid him out.
00:19:00I prepared him.
00:19:05Mr. Strictly was in that coffin.
00:19:07I brought him in it.
00:19:09I drove the hearse to the crematorium.
00:19:13So why didn't you stop him clambering out?
00:19:21You always check the name?
00:19:23Yeah.
00:19:23I don't want to send the wrong one off, do we?
00:19:27Is that it?
00:19:29Yeah, pretty much.
00:19:31How do you know there's anything inside it?
00:19:34It comes from the undertaker.
00:19:35It must be.
00:19:36And it gets carried in.
00:19:38So we'd know if the coffin was empty.
00:19:40It needn't be a body.
00:19:41It could be books, bricks, anything.
00:19:44What are they?
00:19:44I always check the furnace.
00:19:46The spy hole.
00:19:47Coffins burn away in minutes.
00:19:49Made out of rubbish, mostly.
00:19:51You can see the body in there.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:54I was on duty for Mr. Strictly.
00:19:57And I always, always check.
00:20:00It's just a habit.
00:20:02Last person to see him, you could say.
00:20:05OK.
00:20:05On you go.
00:20:44And this is the sum total of your knowledge?
00:20:47I can remember a few lines of the ancient mariner, ma'am.
00:20:52The search team's still on the scene.
00:20:54It's a favorite spot for fly tippers, so it could take some time.
00:20:57What?
00:20:58Peter Faulkner should be on that list, sir.
00:21:00According to a company's house, he owns 80% of Miller's business.
00:21:04He's an investor.
00:21:06That doesn't mean he's directly involved.
00:21:08It doesn't mean he isn't.
00:21:10OK.
00:21:11You can renew your old friendship.
00:21:13Just be nice.
00:21:29I have several business interests.
00:21:31Garages, construction, all sorts.
00:21:33But you already know that, don't you?
00:21:35I do.
00:21:36But I'm concentrating on this latest investigation, sir.
00:21:40When did you last have any involvement with the funeral company?
00:21:46I look at the accounts from time to time.
00:21:49When did you last go there?
00:21:51A couple of years ago.
00:21:53When it opened.
00:21:55So there'd be no need to take your fingerprints for the purposes of elimination?
00:22:00Absolutely not.
00:22:03And your wife?
00:22:04Does she look as if she hangs around funeral parlors?
00:22:07Would it be possible to speak to her, sir?
00:22:09Tara's on holiday.
00:22:11And she isn't taking calls.
00:22:13Where is she staying?
00:22:14No idea.
00:22:15Some mysterious destination.
00:22:18She's run off with one of your lot.
00:22:21When was this, sir?
00:22:22On lovely summer's night.
00:22:31The 17th.
00:22:32And where do you think she might have gone?
00:22:35The world's a royster.
00:22:36Now I've got work to do.
00:22:38You're not worried about her, sir?
00:22:41Tara's a grown woman.
00:22:45Predator on predator.
00:22:47Worthy opponents.
00:22:49Heartwarming.
00:22:50It is.
00:22:51No-one I know can put up a half-decent fight.
00:22:54Present company included.
00:23:06I come in when Mr Miller needs a pallbearer.
00:23:11And sometimes they need me for a repatriation.
00:23:13Bringing a body back from Spain or somewhere.
00:23:16That pays really well.
00:23:18Funny job for a student.
00:23:20My dad got me it.
00:23:22You were at Neil Strictly's funeral.
00:23:25Anything unusual?
00:23:26No.
00:23:27You seem very sure.
00:23:29I am.
00:23:31Hmm.
00:23:33Corby Mance, 6pm the 17th.
00:23:49The police have been, Liam. Surgery's over.
00:23:52They say we've lost a body.
00:23:53Mr Strictly.
00:23:54It was that night. It has to be.
00:23:56I knew it was something weird.
00:23:58You don't know anything.
00:24:00Calm down.
00:24:02Why would anyone steal a body?
00:24:04Why indeed? It's nothing to do with us.
00:24:07You're sweating.
00:24:09Do you need something?
00:24:13You were at Corby Mance four days before the Strictly cremation?
00:24:16About that.
00:24:18I had one of their famous suppers.
00:24:21Dr Whitby, his girlfriend.
00:24:22All the usual suspects.
00:24:25Sorry.
00:24:26Unfortunate turn of phrase.
00:24:28Good evening.
00:24:29Very.
00:24:30Everyone on good form.
00:24:33How long since Peter Faulkner had a look around his investment?
00:24:36He came here. He doesn't.
00:24:38I run the place.
00:24:41I'm the boss.
00:25:029 o'clock, my appointment. How much longer?
00:25:04He may have been called out to an emergency.
00:25:06Has he not got a mobile phone?
00:25:07Oh!
00:25:19You just can't get enough of me, can you?
00:25:22I'll take out a restraining order if you don't pack it in.
00:25:26Looks like another GP suicide.
00:25:29No note?
00:25:30Not so far.
00:25:33Okay, well I won't be here long.
00:25:34Reeks of whiskey and the pills tell their own tale.
00:25:38Post-mortem should be pretty straightforward.
00:25:40That's what you said about Mrs. Strictly.
00:25:42Another fine mess you got me into.
00:25:49The next of kin.
00:25:50Did you find him?
00:25:51No sir, that's it.
00:25:52His next of kin is Tara Faulkner.
00:25:55Okay.
00:25:56The facts so far.
00:25:58The body's removed from its coughing.
00:26:01Somebody else is cremated in its place.
00:26:03Peter Faulkner, who owns the lion's share of the funeral parlour,
00:26:07says his wife's gone off on some mystery holiday.
00:26:10And her brother's found dead.
00:26:13Tara Faulkner was last seen on the 17th.
00:26:16If she was killed that evening and then cremated four days later,
00:26:20this suicide could be Matt Whitby's confession.
00:26:25Sorry, I can't take it in.
00:26:26He killed himself.
00:26:27And you still haven't heard from your wife, sir.
00:26:30Only as Dr. Whitby's next of kin, we really do need to speak to her.
00:26:34I've already told you.
00:26:36When did you last see Dr. Whitby?
00:26:39Not yesterday, the day before.
00:26:43And this is everybody that was at your dinner party?
00:26:46Get me in, please.
00:26:47Peter?
00:26:48Peter?
00:26:49Peter?
00:26:51Madam, just a second.
00:26:52No, I'm sorry.
00:26:53Excuse me.
00:26:54Peter?
00:26:55I've just come past the surgery.
00:26:58Someone said...
00:26:59Is it true?
00:27:03But he can't be.
00:27:06Not Matt.
00:27:07Why would he be?
00:27:15Probably topped himself to get away from her.
00:27:18The limit.
00:27:21What time did you leave the party?
00:27:25Our first to go.
00:27:29I'd had enough of the humiliation.
00:27:31I'm sorry?
00:27:34I bored him.
00:27:37He made me feel like a sad old academic spinster.
00:27:42You and Dr. Whitby were...
00:27:44We were together.
00:27:47Sometimes.
00:27:49Never quite sure if we were on or off.
00:27:52Not a match made in heaven.
00:27:55Purgatory.
00:27:57Maybe.
00:28:00Were you the last guest to leave?
00:28:02Yes, I think so.
00:28:04Maybe Matt Whitby.
00:28:06And I'm not sure about the policeman.
00:28:08Oh, he was still there.
00:28:10Might be.
00:28:11Unable to tear himself away from Tara Faulkner.
00:28:16She will be in pieces about her brother.
00:28:19She didn't have any other family.
00:28:20Or none that wanted anything to do with her.
00:28:23You don't like her much.
00:28:25Tara Faulkner's only hobby is upsetting people.
00:28:29Banging on about her architect or her interior designer.
00:28:32The latest thing being some precious farmhouse in Transylvania or somewhere.
00:28:37No, creature, that's it.
00:28:55I'm not going to make you a happy man.
00:28:56I'm always happy.
00:28:57My face is misleading.
00:28:59The assumed suicide.
00:29:01Might just be murder.
00:29:02He was poisoned.
00:29:03A mixture of PCP, methanol and formaldehyde.
00:29:08Formaldehyde?
00:29:09Embarming fluid.
00:29:10Combined with the alcohol and the diazepam.
00:29:12And there was some of it in his lungs.
00:29:14Any sign of bruising to indicate he'd been held there?
00:29:17Possibly.
00:29:17But he's been face down on his desk all night.
00:29:19And it's very difficult to find bruising through lividity.
00:29:23All right, I'll have another look.
00:29:25I'll try not to pester you, but if you could.
00:29:28Hurry it up.
00:29:29Don't push it.
00:29:34You saw Dr. Whitby several times over the last few months.
00:29:38Liam, isn't it?
00:29:40Second time we met this week.
00:29:41What were you doing at the doctor's?
00:29:44It was nothing.
00:29:45A routine visit.
00:29:46He didn't have an appointment, but Dr. Whitby said he'd see him.
00:29:48And he was at the Faulkner's dinner party, sir.
00:29:51A waiter.
00:29:52And you work at Miller's.
00:29:55What's that got to do with Dr. Whitby's death?
00:29:57Probably nothing.
00:29:59Can you tell us why you went to the surgery?
00:30:05It's private.
00:30:06Sorry.
00:30:09Any objection if we take a look at your room?
00:30:12I ran a check on Dr. Whitby's mobile, sir.
00:30:14Didn't seem to use it much.
00:30:16No calls on the day he died.
00:30:17Okay.
00:30:18And no texts?
00:30:19Didn't text and only ever received one.
00:30:21That was way back on the 20th.
00:30:2310 p.m.
00:30:24Just says World Cup.
00:30:26World Cup?
00:30:27From a pay-as-you-go phone.
00:30:29Bought that same day.
00:30:30Hasn't been used since.
00:30:33How's it going?
00:30:34This is Liam's room?
00:30:36Worth a look, ma.
00:30:37Yeah, he was at Mr. Strictly's fake funeral and he was the last patient to see Dr. Whitby.
00:30:42Found anything interesting?
00:30:44Well, a couple of old diazepam bottles, both prescribed to him.
00:30:47So, not at all interesting then.
00:30:50We're getting nowhere fast.
00:30:51Well, not entirely.
00:30:53The Faulkners have a farmhouse that he neglected to tell us about.
00:30:56In Croatia.
00:30:57And?
00:30:58Well, I'd just like to chat with Mr. Faulkner, ma.
00:31:02Horse's mouth and all that.
00:31:10But if the species has a primary biological urge to reproduce,
00:31:14wouldn't we all want to be parents?
00:31:16And don't we?
00:31:18Do we?
00:31:21Hi.
00:31:23Sorry.
00:31:24Sorry, everyone.
00:31:26Have I missed much?
00:31:27Just most of the term.
00:31:30Oops.
00:31:33You'd better go.
00:31:36Sorry?
00:31:37I'll inform your senior tutor that you've left my course.
00:31:41That's...
00:31:42You need to find out what options you have.
00:31:43Whatever they are, you will not be rejoining this course.
00:32:05Must I lose two students?
00:32:08No.
00:32:12No.
00:32:15No.
00:32:18You have to see your senior tutor.
00:32:22You've not been sent down.
00:32:29Stop it!
00:32:29Liam!
00:32:31Most fun I've had in the weeks.
00:32:34Are you idiots?
00:32:35Yeah, I am.
00:32:38It's not my fault.
00:32:39It's in the genes.
00:32:40I'm like my dad.
00:32:41A loser.
00:32:44Your dad.
00:32:45Call him.
00:32:46Tell him.
00:32:46He'll know what to do.
00:32:47Yeah, right.
00:32:49He's off on a binge, like always.
00:32:51It's what he does, Ruth.
00:32:52Let's you down.
00:32:54Just like me.
00:33:16And it didn't occur to you to mention your Croatian property when we asked where she might have
00:33:21gone?
00:33:21If you knew my wife and you'd seen that farmhouse, it's a wreck.
00:33:25It's damp, half derelict, no electricity.
00:33:28My wife wouldn't be seen dead there.
00:33:30On the night of your supper party.
00:33:32Oh, not again.
00:33:33We believe you had an argument with your wife.
00:33:37Probably.
00:33:38It's how we like to round off the day.
00:33:40Can you tell me what it was about?
00:33:41My client chooses not to say anything.
00:33:46Chief Superintendent Jack Cornish.
00:33:50I couldn't stomach it any longer.
00:33:52We had a slanging match and the two of them left.
00:33:55Together.
00:34:01Do you know where Mr. Miller stores his embalming fluid?
00:34:05What?
00:34:05In the embalming fluid cupboard, I suppose.
00:34:08How long do I have to take this for?
00:34:09Do you and your wife often take separate holidays?
00:34:11Sometimes.
00:34:13How would you describe your marriage?
00:34:15Heterosexual.
00:34:17What the hell are you on about?
00:34:18When you fought that night after your guests left.
00:34:22Argued.
00:34:23I think you hit her.
00:34:25Or she hit you.
00:34:27We have forensics officers at your home.
00:34:31There will be forensics.
00:34:32I strongly advise you to remain silent.
00:34:35In the fight, I think your wife died.
00:34:38So you swapped her body for one at the Undertaker's.
00:34:42And somehow her brother found out.
00:34:45So...
00:34:46What?
00:34:47Sorry, sir.
00:34:48You wanted downstairs urgently.
00:34:49All right.
00:34:49Two minutes.
00:34:52Two minutes?
00:34:53Chief Superintendent Innocent said to stress this urgent, sir.
00:35:02This had better be good.
00:35:06One more minute.
00:35:07We had him charged and locked.
00:35:09I don't think you've met Mrs. Faulkner.
00:35:16Sorry, guys.
00:35:17We're all stood down.
00:35:18Search over.
00:35:19All right.
00:35:29And now we've got to tell her her brother's been murdered.
00:35:31Her husband's on the way down from the interview room, Mom,
00:35:34so she's not completely alone.
00:35:35Oh, the man you reckoned had murdered her
00:35:37and then killed her brother to shut him up.
00:35:38Yeah?
00:35:38That one?
00:35:39Do you think that'll make it easier?
00:35:40Ah.
00:35:41We're both going to get dragged over the coals for this.
00:35:43Thank you so much.
00:36:11I just need a bit of help.
00:36:13Get me some pills.
00:36:15Say you're depressed.
00:36:16No.
00:36:17Right.
00:36:17Fine.
00:36:18Go your own way and I'll go mine.
00:36:21I'm sorry.
00:36:21I'm sorry.
00:36:22You're not making any sense.
00:36:23Get me some pills.
00:36:24Anything.
00:36:25You're ruining everything.
00:36:26You're messing up your life and now you want to mess up mine.
00:36:28No, I don't.
00:36:29I won't.
00:36:30I will sort myself.
00:36:32They're over.
00:36:36That's right.
00:36:37Walk out on me.
00:36:38Everyone does.
00:36:41Liam, you're not going to do anything stupid.
00:36:43Something I should have done days ago.
00:36:45Where are you going?
00:36:47The police.
00:36:49A shooting star.
00:36:52That's what he is.
00:36:53Lighting up the night sky.
00:36:56Exciting and amazing.
00:36:59But what is he really?
00:37:03They burn out, you know.
00:37:06They turn into useless lumps.
00:37:10Trust me.
00:37:18Maybe if you take Mrs. Faulkner home, sir.
00:37:21We will need to talk later, but it can wait.
00:37:23Oh, bloody hell.
00:37:24Not that stupid missing body thing again.
00:37:26How many times do I have to...
00:37:27Can I see him?
00:37:29Of course.
00:37:30I'll take you over there.
00:37:31I can take her.
00:37:32No.
00:37:34Why isn't it you lying dead and cold instead of Matt?
00:37:38I want to say goodbye to him in private.
00:37:49Sir.
00:37:50There's a young man wants to talk to you.
00:37:52Uh, Liam Jay.
00:37:54I can't talk to him at the moment.
00:37:55He says it's urgent.
00:37:56A bit agitated, sir.
00:37:58Get him in the way.
00:37:59Mrs. Faulkner.
00:38:00Why the boy in the airport was, and that's when it happened.
00:38:07Who did this?
00:38:09Was it a patient?
00:38:12We don't know.
00:38:13I'm sorry.
00:38:15It was.
00:38:16I know it was.
00:38:18Some druggie.
00:38:21It was too good to them.
00:38:24I told him.
00:38:39Liam Jay?
00:38:41Got tired of waiting.
00:38:43Call me if he turns up again.
00:39:06Maybe his sister's right.
00:39:08If this student...
00:39:10Liam Jay.
00:39:11...was the last patient to see him, and we know he's on prescription drugs...
00:39:14Ah, people kill for crack cocaine.
00:39:16I'm not diazepam, and this kid's no killer.
00:39:19Famous last words.
00:39:22I know you think I'm fixated on the Faulkners, but if Jack Cornish was looking into their affairs,
00:39:27and they thought he was getting a bit too close...
00:39:30Maybe they killed him.
00:39:31It's a bit of a leap.
00:39:32Well, he was at their party, and he has gone missing.
00:39:36Someone was cremating, huh?
00:39:37You said that was Tara Faulkner.
00:39:39And now you reckon it's Jack Cornish.
00:39:40It's just a bit random, Robbie.
00:39:43Well, there was a fight.
00:39:44And if Jack was getting close to making an arrest...
00:39:48If, if, if.
00:39:49He wasn't investigating the Faulkners.
00:39:50I've spoken to his number, too.
00:39:52Oh, we still don't know whether Tara Faulkner left with him.
00:39:55Maybe she went off on her own.
00:39:57Is anyone trying to track her movements?
00:39:59Yeah, we're on to the border agency.
00:40:01Hobson, Mum.
00:40:03Hi.
00:40:04Excuse me, Mum.
00:40:06Yeah.
00:40:08Right, why don't we try and meet halfway?
00:40:18I've found your anti-mortem bruising on Dr Whitby.
00:40:21Two errors of pressure either side of the neck.
00:40:23Whilst he was sitting.
00:40:24Probably too drunk to get up or fight them off.
00:40:26Because the bruising was pretty light.
00:40:30Final toxicology report.
00:40:32Nothing new.
00:40:33Same as before.
00:40:34Drunk stomach awash with whiskey and undigested pills.
00:40:44Faulkner's into whiskey.
00:40:46As are a lot of people.
00:40:49Yeah, Faulkner said, when his wife suddenly turned up,
00:40:52he said, not this stupid lost body thing again.
00:40:56But if, if she went off on the night of the party,
00:41:00she hadn't been in touch with anybody since,
00:41:02why didn't she say to him, what are you talking about?
00:41:04Well, he just told her that her brother was dead.
00:41:06No, no, no, no, no.
00:41:07She knew.
00:41:08Her and her husband pretend to be at each other's throats,
00:41:11but actually they're, they're thick as thieves.
00:41:13Well, not she ran off with Jack Cornish.
00:41:14I bet my pension she didn't.
00:41:17He wouldn't have anything to do with a woman like her.
00:41:20You think it was him in that coffin, don't you?
00:41:22Oh, I hope not.
00:41:23But I think he might have been about
00:41:26to uncover something, something big.
00:41:29So the Faulkner's killed him.
00:41:32And Dr Whitby?
00:41:33Think he was in on the murder?
00:41:35I don't know yet.
00:41:37But I'm sure his murder links back to the Faulkners too.
00:41:41Never mind.
00:41:42There's a lad who wants to tell me something.
00:41:44Maybe he's going to wrap up all the answers for us nice and neat.
00:41:57Looking for Liam Jay, sir?
00:42:00I didn't need him today.
00:42:02OK.
00:42:03I'll try his girlfriend.
00:42:06That number?
00:42:081966?
00:42:10It used to be 1066, but we changed it.
00:42:13Why would that be on Dr Whitby's phone?
00:42:16Don't follow.
00:42:16What?
00:42:17Text?
00:42:18World Cup?
00:42:19Did you send it to Dr Whitby?
00:42:21You've lost me, Inspector.
00:42:23I never sent anything to Dr Whitby.
00:42:28Who else knows the entry code?
00:42:30The one who needs to.
00:42:31How often has it changed?
00:42:33Why is that open?
00:42:34Shouldn't it be?
00:42:35That leads through to the refrigeration room.
00:42:50Well?
00:42:59You've got some stupid kids daring each other.
00:43:03Ghouls.
00:43:04Check the fridges.
00:43:07What?
00:43:15You haven't got anyone?
00:43:22Mr Miller.
00:43:27999!
00:43:28Ambulance!
00:43:28He's dead.
00:43:29Yeah, not far off.
00:43:31Go on, phone!
00:43:33Now!
00:43:33Come on, son.
00:43:34Stay with me.
00:43:36Stay with me!
00:43:57You've not been here all night.
00:43:59Just got here.
00:44:00I thought maybe he'd be up to talking, but...
00:44:02Oh, they've sedated him.
00:44:03He won't be saying anything at all for now.
00:44:06When I asked, they wouldn't tell me anything.
00:44:08You've not got the knack yet.
00:44:10It'll come.
00:44:18Liam always picks up straight away, but I've texted him and left messages.
00:44:22Oh, he'll be back.
00:44:23He said he was gonna do something, the police or something.
00:44:25He's so messed up.
00:44:27You all right, ladies?
00:44:28Yes, thanks.
00:44:30Ruth?
00:44:31Fine, thanks.
00:44:31Just feeling a bit fragile.
00:44:32I know.
00:45:15What the hell?
00:45:16It's not real, sir.
00:45:17Electronic.
00:45:19Right.
00:45:20Trying to kick the habit, sir.
00:45:22Sorry.
00:45:28So you think it was someone trying to shuttly him up, sir?
00:45:31Tried to kill him?
00:45:32It usually has that effect.
00:45:34So he might know who stole the body from the undertakers?
00:45:38Yeah, or who they cremated in its place.
00:45:41Or he might know something about Dr Whitby's murder.
00:45:44I'll try and trace his next of kin, sir.
00:45:46And his girlfriend.
00:45:47Well, if she's not a relative.
00:45:48Don't want him waking up on his own.
00:45:51He's only a lad.
00:46:07Have you got plans for today?
00:46:10I thought I'd go to lunch with my brother.
00:46:13Oh, for God's sake.
00:46:23We haven't been able to speak to Jack.
00:46:25Well, we don't know where he is.
00:46:27But I think he might have stumbled across some criminal activity.
00:46:31Who wouldn't he have reported it?
00:46:33No, it's just a theory.
00:46:36But he always said that whatever you did, you had to be part of a team.
00:46:40And he had to have your mates there backing you up.
00:46:45Oh.
00:46:48I can see it in your eyes.
00:46:49You'd think something terrible's happened.
00:46:50No, listen, Pep.
00:46:52We don't know what's happened yet.
00:46:53But we will find out.
00:46:58This is our first clear link between the stolen body at the undertaker and the murder of Dr Whitby.
00:47:03So this is the night before Neil Strictly's funeral and three nights after the dinner party?
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:09This is the main street, and this is Dr Whitby.
00:47:13Our team managed to clean it up a bit, but it took him 38 minutes to travel between the two
00:47:18cameras.
00:47:19About 300 yards.
00:47:20So he was at Miller's for a good half an hour.
00:47:22Yeah, enough time to take one body out of a coffin and put another one in its place.
00:47:27I brought a deep search of Whitby's house, see if it wouldn't work out what he was up to.
00:47:35How well do you know Liam J?
00:47:36Not at all.
00:47:38This has nothing to do with me, Inspector.
00:47:41Whatever's going on?
00:47:42You lose a body.
00:47:43Someone in your employ is the last person to see a murder victim alive.
00:47:47The murder weapon is embalming fluid.
00:47:50Now somebody tries to kill Liam on your premises.
00:47:56Yes, Gray.
00:47:58Ruth Wilson, yeah?
00:48:01Well, she's probably at the university.
00:48:04OK.
00:48:04Well, when you do find her, take her straight to the hospital.
00:48:08And on the way, try and find out if she knows what it was that Liam was trying to tell
00:48:12us.
00:48:18I apologise for not returning your essays.
00:48:22A close friend of mine has died.
00:48:25And it's rather thrown my routine.
00:48:29Unexpectedly.
00:48:31One lectures about life-changing events, but when it actually...
00:48:35Come in.
00:48:38Ah.
00:48:40The police have arrived.
00:48:42Is this a bust officer?
00:48:44Uh, Ruth Wilson?
00:48:45Not with this group, I'm afraid.
00:48:48Does anyone know where she is?
00:48:49And you have a right to that information because...
00:48:53Just tell her that her boyfriend's in a critical condition.
00:48:55She needs to call us.
00:48:58Where is he?
00:49:00Which hospital?
00:49:03What's happened to him?
00:49:04He's one of my students.
00:49:06Or was.
00:49:08If something's...
00:49:09I'm sorry, I can't give any information.
00:49:13You were at Corby Man's the night of the dinner party.
00:49:15What's happened to Liam?
00:49:17How well do you know him?
00:49:19He's my student.
00:49:20But he was there that night, wasn't he?
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:24Him and his father.
00:49:27If it wasn't for DC Gray here,
00:49:29we still wouldn't know anything about Johnny J, would we?
00:49:31It was an oversight.
00:49:33Good God.
00:49:34Of course it was.
00:49:35You know, the more I investigate who was in the coffin
00:49:38at Mr. Strictly's funeral,
00:49:39the more involved you seem to be.
00:49:41I remembered the waiters.
00:49:43I forgot about Johnny J.
00:49:44He was always there, like the wallpaper.
00:49:46It was an oversight.
00:49:48So how do I get in touch with him?
00:49:50No idea.
00:49:50He was a drinker.
00:49:51He falls off the wagon from time to time and vanishes.
00:49:54He was stinking of booze all through the party.
00:49:56I doubt you've remembered anything about it.
00:49:58So you have no idea where he might be?
00:50:02Rat-assed in a bar somewhere.
00:50:05That's very helpful, sir.
00:50:08Oh, look.
00:50:09Your ferret's not doing very well.
00:50:12Losing his teeth.
00:50:17The young lad had waited on you that night.
00:50:19He's fighting for his life in intensive care.
00:50:22I'm getting very tired of secrets.
00:50:24I need to know where you and Jack Cornish went that evening.
00:50:28After your party, the evening of the 17th.
00:50:31Jack's flat.
00:50:33The next morning we drove to the Lake District.
00:50:35Why there?
00:50:37My aunt has a cottage.
00:50:39It's empty.
00:50:39I know where she keeps the key.
00:50:41Did anybody see you arrive?
00:50:43No.
00:50:44They stayed for one night and that was it.
00:50:47He wasn't my handsome prince after all.
00:50:50Just another frog.
00:50:53I went to Barcelona.
00:50:54Not Croatia?
00:50:55Oh, God, no.
00:50:57It's not my idea of relaxation.
00:51:00I have no idea where he went.
00:51:05Really.
00:51:07I have no idea.
00:51:10Sir?
00:51:11Found in Dr Whitby's bedroom, sir.
00:51:16Who were they from?
00:51:19Unsigned.
00:51:20No clues on the envelope, sir.
00:51:21And just two sets of fingerprints.
00:51:22One's Whitby and the other's not known.
00:51:27There's no doubt, three tests and all positive.
00:51:30You need to deal with this.
00:51:32I don't want to cause you embarrassment, but I will if I have to.
00:51:35You have to acknowledge this child.
00:51:50Another one dated three months ago.
00:51:52Beautiful little girl.
00:51:54Perfect.
00:51:55Never breathed.
00:52:02Stillborn baby.
00:52:05Whitby was obviously worse than useless.
00:52:08Tell them to keep searching his house, his car, everything.
00:52:11No stone unturned.
00:52:13When your child is born dead, do you really head off and kill the father?
00:52:19Maybe not, but he was killed.
00:52:22Maybe her grief and anger was motive enough.
00:52:26Cold fish, Whitby.
00:52:28We know from the CCTV that he was involved with the body swap.
00:52:32You say that like it's an achievement.
00:52:33We still don't know why or who he swapped the body with.
00:52:37First thing he said, get rid of it.
00:52:41I'll book you in.
00:52:43And your baby was stillborn at the beginning of last year?
00:52:49Three days after my 44th birthday.
00:52:53My perfect little last chance baby, Ellen Mary.
00:53:01But you were still friendly with the father, with Dr. Whitby?
00:53:05When he couldn't get a date with anyone else, he'd settle for me.
00:53:10He'd turn up usually unannounced, usually late, usually bit pissed.
00:53:17How humiliating is that?
00:53:20When was the last time you saw him?
00:53:23Oh, that awful supper party.
00:53:25I told him I was...
00:53:28He'd gone down to the cellar to get more wine.
00:53:31I told him I was pregnant again.
00:53:33He laughed.
00:53:34Said he wasn't even sure Ellen ever existed.
00:53:38I slapped him.
00:53:41And are you?
00:53:42Pregnant?
00:53:47I'm going to have a baby, though.
00:53:51I'm going to adopt.
00:53:55She'll be lucky.
00:53:56Single woman, mid-forties.
00:53:58With a history of recent child bereavement.
00:54:01Yeah, wishful thinking.
00:54:03She has an alibi for Matt Whitby's time of death?
00:54:05Yeah, no way really of getting a hold of any embalming fluid.
00:54:09So back to square one.
00:54:11Who was in the coffin?
00:54:12Who killed Matt Whitby?
00:54:14Who tried to kill Liam Jay?
00:54:15What has Jack Cornish got to do with any of this?
00:54:19I'll tell you one thing.
00:54:20What happened?
00:54:20What happened?
00:54:20Murderer Curry.
00:54:42Oh, hang on.
00:54:43Have we got a minute to make a little detail?
00:54:45Is it the scenic route?
00:54:48Ruth Wilson.
00:54:49Ruth Wilson.
00:54:49She lives on a boat down here.
00:54:51Not been able to contact her all day, so she doesn't know about Liam yet.
00:55:14That's a good sign, Alice.
00:55:19Yeah!
00:55:25Oh, God.
00:55:27Be careful, Robbie.
00:55:28There'll be gas bottles.
00:55:36Fire brigade.
00:55:37There's a fire on a boat here.
00:55:40Loop lane.
00:56:03Someone attacked Liam to try and stop him talking to us.
00:56:08And then they tried to do the same thing to you.
00:56:10I don't know anything.
00:56:12Liam didn't tell you anything.
00:56:15Maybe something about Neil Strictly's body going missing.
00:56:21That day of the funeral.
00:56:24When Liam got to Miller's, the body was already in the coffin.
00:56:29He said he went to check the name tags.
00:56:31But Miller stopped him.
00:56:33Said he'd done all of that.
00:56:35Said he'd come in early to get a head start.
00:56:38And that was unusual?
00:56:41Was that all?
00:56:42No.
00:56:43There was something else, but I don't know what it was.
00:56:47He was upset about something.
00:56:48He kept saying it was too horrible.
00:56:54You know Liam's dad?
00:56:55Johnny, yeah.
00:56:57Any idea where he might have gone?
00:56:59No.
00:57:01Off on a binge?
00:57:02No.
00:57:03No, he was doing really well.
00:57:05He'd been sober for months.
00:57:08Well, I was here yesterday.
00:57:10I took a phone call.
00:57:11You overheard it.
00:57:12Well, yes, but...
00:57:14You knew I wanted to speak to Ruth Wilson.
00:57:16Who did you tell?
00:57:17No one.
00:57:18Why would I?
00:57:19What interest is she to make?
00:57:21The morning of the funeral that never was.
00:57:24Who identified Neil Strictly?
00:57:25I've told you a dozen times.
00:57:27Yeah, well, tell me again.
00:57:28And this time, tell me why you didn't want Liam Jay to see the body.
00:57:32What?
00:57:32Was it because you knew fine well that the body had been switched?
00:57:35No.
00:57:37No.
00:57:37Where were you between nine and ten last night?
00:57:40What?
00:57:41Why?
00:57:41Where were you?
00:57:43There was a civic do.
00:57:44You can ask anyone.
00:57:45And what time did you leave?
00:57:47Midnight.
00:57:48I was on the top table.
00:57:49Why?
00:57:50Someone tried to kill Ruth Wilson, Liam's girlfriend.
00:57:53Why would I want to kill a student I barely know?
00:57:57The Faulkners own 80% of your business.
00:57:59If Peter Faulkner asked you to do something, would you do it?
00:58:04He doesn't give me orders.
00:58:05We're in equal partnership.
00:58:07And friends.
00:58:09Yes.
00:58:11No, you'll be fine.
00:58:13Stay down.
00:58:14Stay down.
00:58:14Stay down.
00:58:20Dr. Barnes.
00:58:21I came as soon as I heard.
00:58:23That was...
00:58:24I...
00:58:26You didn't have to.
00:58:27What have they said?
00:58:29No long-term damage?
00:58:30No.
00:58:31No.
00:58:34Good.
00:58:36Well, home.
00:58:37I've got a lift coming.
00:58:38Oh, no need.
00:58:39I'm going back anyway, so...
00:58:40Yo, Rudy.
00:58:43Home time.
00:58:44That body won't neck itself.
00:58:45The last thing she should be doing in her condition is necking vodka.
00:58:49I'm ready.
00:58:50They said I can see Liam later.
00:58:51I found a room for you at the college.
00:58:53It's her post-grads.
00:58:55It's lovely.
00:58:57No.
00:58:57But it's all arranged.
00:58:59So I...
00:59:00Sorry.
00:59:02But thank you for coming.
00:59:11Sockers turned up some more interesting finds at Dr. Whitby's house, Mum.
00:59:15Better late than never.
00:59:16He was a vegetarian.
00:59:17Lifelong.
00:59:18Wouldn't have meat in his fridge.
00:59:19But under all this rubbish, two blood-stained plastic bags.
00:59:21They're analysing them now.
00:59:23Sneaky pork chop.
00:59:24Maybe.
00:59:25But we're starting to see a few chinks of light now, Mum.
00:59:27Like?
00:59:27Well, Peter Faulkner reckons that Johnny J was drunk the night of the party.
00:59:31But according to Ruth Wilson, he's been sober for months.
00:59:34Now, if Johnny killed somebody that night...
00:59:37Possibly Cornish.
00:59:38Well, I think we can say probably now, Mum.
00:59:40And then went on to kill Dr. Whitby.
00:59:41I reckon it's possible he's hiding out at that Croatian farmhouse.
00:59:45I'm going to put through a call to Pristina.
00:59:48Where's that?
00:59:49Where we just happened to have a man twiddling his thumbs.
00:59:55Can you put it here?
00:59:56Can you put it here?
00:59:57Bang, bang.
00:59:58New bullets here, yes.
01:00:00Bang, bang, no.
01:00:02Yawn, yawn.
01:00:04Bang, bang.
01:00:05Bang, bang.
01:00:13Bang, bang.
01:00:15Bang, bang.
01:00:16You called, sir?
01:00:18Oh, you're up.
01:00:19Great.
01:00:20What's the time difference?
01:00:21About a century.
01:00:23And you're in Pristina, yeah?
01:00:25Yeah.
01:00:26Right.
01:00:26I need you to get down to the central nick.
01:00:29Which is...
01:00:31Oh, hang on.
01:00:33Yeah.
01:00:34It's on the Luan Haradonnage.
01:00:36However you say it.
01:00:37Sir, I've got a very busy schedule.
01:00:39Yeah, it won't take long.
01:00:40I'm going to fax you a photo of Johnny Jay.
01:00:43Who, Ruth?
01:00:44A possible witness.
01:00:45Well, possibly even a person of interest.
01:00:47In what?
01:00:48In an investigation.
01:00:49Keep up.
01:00:50Well, what, do you want me to interview him?
01:00:51Well, just ask him a couple of questions.
01:00:53I'll also send you a few notes.
01:00:55A sort of summary of where we are so far.
01:00:57Sir, I'm on holiday.
01:00:58Yeah, it won't take long.
01:01:00We need you to get to a farmhouse just outside Split.
01:01:04Split?
01:01:04Yeah, I think that's what it's called, isn't it?
01:01:06Yeah, that's right, Split.
01:01:08You know Split's in another country.
01:01:10Yeah, only recently.
01:01:11A couple of 20 years ago.
01:01:12It was all one big happy family.
01:01:14Sir.
01:01:14I'll clear it with innocent.
01:01:16Get you an extra couple of days.
01:01:18Get one an extra couple of days.
01:01:19Oh, no problem then.
01:01:21Thanks for this.
01:01:22Appreciate it.
01:01:25Bang, bang!
01:01:26Bang, bang, bang!
01:01:27Bang, bang, bang!
01:01:43And he didn't tell you to get stuffed.
01:01:44Oh, it was there, in the subtext.
01:01:49Are you OK?
01:01:50Hmm.
01:01:52They gave me a once-over at the hospital.
01:01:53Yeah, no, not that, Robbie.
01:01:56You.
01:01:56Yeah.
01:01:57You know me.
01:01:59I'm always all right.
01:02:00Would you tell me if you weren't?
01:02:02All this funeral stuff was getting to you.
01:02:05It's not.
01:02:06Reminding you of Val?
01:02:10Doesn't seem to get any easier, does it?
01:02:12Well, that's it.
01:02:14It does.
01:02:15I was stood outside the creme the other day,
01:02:18watching that poor family in pieces,
01:02:20and waiting for the pain.
01:02:25Val's slipping away.
01:02:28Time's passing.
01:02:29There's nothing you can do about that.
01:02:31Doesn't mean that you can't.
01:02:32Yeah, I know.
01:02:33First, it felt like a betrayal, but no.
01:02:38I'm just turning over the page on a new chapter.
01:02:43Right.
01:03:12Oh, I hate you, Robert Maris.
01:03:13I hate you.
01:03:19BIRDS CHIRP
01:03:46Well, well. Sergeant... Don't tell me I'll never forget a face.
01:03:53Hathaway.

01:04:18Daddy?
01:04:20So you dumped me?
01:04:22Last chance to loon me.
01:04:27Well, that just about decides it, ma'am.
01:04:30Tara's alive, Jack's alive.
01:04:32Only person still missing from the 17th is Johnny Jay.
01:04:36So he's the body in the coffin.
01:04:39Don't tell his son until we've got all the facts.
01:04:43What are we doing about Jack Cornish?
01:04:45Refusing to come home.
01:04:47Can't Hathaway interview him in situ, find out what he's doing there?
01:04:50Cornish told Hathaway to put all his questions in writing,
01:04:53shut the door in his face.
01:04:54And did he put the questions in writing?
01:04:57Well, he's on holiday, ma'am.
01:04:58Oh, for God's sake.
01:05:00So can we now stop pretending that Cornish is Dixon of Doc Green?
01:05:04Yes, ma'am.
01:05:06So you were told to meet your father at the Undertaker's in the evening?
01:05:10You didn't think that was odd?
01:05:11When your dad's Johnny J, you sort of get used to weird stuff.
01:05:15And you're sure the message was from him?
01:05:16Yeah.
01:05:17The text alerts, whiskey in the jar.
01:05:19I'll show you.
01:05:21You didn't have a phone when we found you.
01:05:24So when you got there, what happened?
01:05:26I remember all the breaths going out to me, then nothing.
01:05:31Have you heard from my dad?
01:05:32Why isn't he here?
01:05:34Well, you don't know where he is, son.
01:05:36I'm sorry.
01:05:37But the texts...
01:05:38Could we talk about Dr Whitby again?
01:05:41He was great, Dr Whitby.
01:05:44He's the only one who listened.
01:05:46That's why you went to see him the night he died?
01:05:48To talk to him?
01:05:52Tell me why you went, Liam.
01:05:53Why was it so urgent?
01:05:57He...
01:06:00He gives me diazepam.
01:06:02Ever since my mum died.
01:06:05My dad went to pieces, so I was all alone.
01:06:09Dr Whitby, he helped me.
01:06:11By getting you hooked on prescription drugs?
01:06:15And the night he died?
01:06:17I'd run out of pills.
01:06:18He got me some more.
01:06:21There's something you're not telling me, isn't there?
01:06:24No.
01:06:36Thanks.
01:06:40Heartless attacking two kids, eh?
01:06:41Well, I can't see who'd want to.
01:06:45Nice kids, too.
01:06:46Hard-working lad.
01:06:48Do anything to earn anything.
01:06:53Should I be getting on with something?
01:06:56Repatriation.
01:06:57Miller brings bodies back from abroad.
01:07:00Er, expats.
01:07:01People who've died on their holidays.
01:07:05We're just in time.
01:07:06Hathaway.
01:07:08Morning, Sergeant.
01:07:09You know how hard it is, reading road signs and serbo-croat.
01:07:12I had a weekend in Wales once.
01:07:14It's amusing, sir.
01:07:16I popped into the police station.
01:07:17Any of them speak English?
01:07:19Yeah, better than I speak serbo-croat, fortunately.
01:07:21They came round straight away.
01:07:22They'd been watching the place for months,
01:07:24just looking for an excuse.
01:07:26Here, I'm going to put you on loudspeaker.
01:07:29Laura Hobson's here, so mind your language.
01:07:31Morning.
01:07:32Hello, James.
01:07:33You having a good time?
01:07:34Yeah, can we do all that when he gets back?
01:07:36Crystal mess, sir.
01:07:37The farmhouse is a crystal mess factory.
01:07:40Well, well.
01:07:41No wonder the Faulkners have such big, fat bank balances.
01:07:44Yeah, they ship the stuff all over Europe.
01:07:46So where's Cornish now?
01:07:48Rotting in some serbo-croat cell?
01:07:50Vanished.
01:07:50Ten minutes after it's still me, probably.
01:07:52Right, I'll make sure we put a watch
01:07:54on all the airports and ferries.
01:07:56You ever tried one of these electronic cigarettes?
01:07:59Sorry?
01:08:01Hope you give up the habit.
01:08:03You ever tried one?
01:08:04No.
01:08:05Well, you should.
01:08:10How much crystal meth do you reckon you could hide in a coffin?
01:08:22Let's start off with funerals for ex-patts, shall we?
01:08:26You won't find anything wrong there.
01:08:28We've got a private ambulance, a coffin, all the way from the Costa del Sol, and the cremation
01:08:34itself for £3,000?
01:08:36Seems very reasonable.
01:08:39How'd you manage to do it that cheap?
01:08:41Well, by bringing them over land.
01:08:42That's what makes it cheap, isn't it, Brian?
01:08:45Cheaper than a flight, and couriers, and insurance, and do you want to fetch you a jacket?
01:08:50Sir.
01:08:52Crystals, sir.
01:08:53Only traces, but they've gone for analysis.
01:08:56Crystals, as in crystal meth?
01:09:00You bastard!
01:09:01You're lying!
01:09:02Justin!
01:09:02I knew there was something wrong!
01:09:04I knew it!
01:09:05I broke the last finger as he did to you!
01:09:07Tom!
01:09:09Take him in.
01:09:10Might do him good to stare at four walls for a while, think about life.
01:09:13I'll get round to him later.
01:09:16That's the hard stuff, isn't it?
01:09:17He was also against drugs.
01:09:19Well, he was against a lot of things.
01:09:22Metamphetamine.
01:09:24More addictive than heroin.
01:09:26Cheap to make.
01:09:27Just cruel stuff.
01:09:28And you're sure that he's involved?
01:09:31God.
01:09:33Well, at least I know he's alive.
01:09:34He's not fleeing or some sort of midlife madness.
01:09:37He's not sick or dead.
01:09:39He just doesn't want me.
01:09:40He's a stupid man, Lou.
01:09:42He'll look back and regret this.
01:09:44What am I going to tell the boys?
01:09:47I'm not a single parent, Robbie.
01:09:50Am I going to stop being half a couple?
01:09:54You'll get there.
01:09:57Well, I'm never going to love anyone again.
01:09:58I know that much.
01:10:04Jack Cornish didn't just fall into drugs, did he?
01:10:08Through poverty or a chaotic life.
01:10:10He walked in with his eyes wide open.
01:10:13Knowing people are going to die.
01:10:15Lives are going to be ruined.
01:10:17And he just didn't care.
01:10:19Well, you'll put a stop to that.
01:10:21Well, it closed the factory.
01:10:23Still got Neil Faulkner and his mates.
01:10:25You will.
01:10:28When I do, do you fancy a ride one night after work?
01:10:32A ride?
01:10:34What?
01:10:36I mean a bike ride.
01:10:38There's a bike hire shop.
01:10:41Robbie.
01:10:43You on a bike.
01:10:45What?
01:11:09Dr. Barnes.
01:11:11Welcome to your new home.
01:11:14You can't sleep on someone's sofa forever.
01:11:17You got me this room.
01:11:19I spoke to the accommodation office, yes.
01:11:23Now, tea?
01:11:25Coffee?
01:11:26They didn't just transport and smuggle the stuff, ma'am.
01:11:29They made it, too.
01:11:30Cutting out the middleman, making them all extremely rich.
01:11:33Just crystal meth?
01:11:34Yeah, we've traced three bank accounts, all in various names,
01:11:38but all leading back to Dr. Matt Whitby,
01:11:40with large sums deposited every month or so.
01:11:43Then the next day, the money's transferred out abroad.
01:11:46We lose sight of it.
01:11:47And the Faulkners?
01:11:48They're two separate accounts, both emptied regularly,
01:11:52just like Whitby's.
01:11:54Excuse me.
01:11:57Can you spare a minute, ma'am?
01:12:20I should probably get some sleep.
01:12:22The doctor said I should rest.
01:12:25Yes, of course.
01:12:28It's all right.
01:12:30I know.
01:12:33I know everything.
01:12:35And I'll help you.
01:12:38I mean, I can do more than help.
01:12:39I can take the whole problem out of your hands,
01:12:41if that's what you want.
01:12:44My baby died.
01:12:47Our baby, Matt, and me.
01:12:50Oh, I'm sorry.
01:12:54Are you all right?
01:12:56And you can see her whenever you like.
01:13:00Or never, if you like.
01:13:05Did you set fire to my boat?
01:13:08No.
01:13:12Now, don't upset yourself.
01:13:15No, you mustn't upset yourself.
01:13:16Think of the baby.
01:13:18Well, there is no baby.
01:13:22You lost it.
01:13:24No, I've...
01:13:26I've won the pill.
01:13:27I've...
01:13:27I've never been pregnant.
01:13:33Turns out it's human blood, ma'am,
01:13:35from two different people found in Matt Whitby's dustbin.
01:13:38I don't...
01:13:40The blood was on the outside of the bags.
01:13:42Right.
01:13:43And on the inside, crystal meth, ma'am.
01:13:46Yeah, if that's what they were smuggling.
01:13:48Where does the blood come into that?
01:13:49Oh, not just blood.
01:13:50Um, liver cells found on the outside of one bag.
01:13:53Bringing expats home to their loved ones.
01:13:55There's a little cursory check in Customs,
01:13:57but nobody wants dogs scrambling all over a coffin, does it?
01:14:00Go outside for five minutes and have a pretend fight.
01:14:07They embalmed the body's mouth.
01:14:09So that if a customs officer was a bit too officious,
01:14:12the chemicals would put the dog up.
01:14:15The bags were smuggled in body cavities.
01:14:19They packed the corpses with drugs.
01:14:22You were so happy
01:14:24and so excited
01:14:26and that morning not feeling well.
01:14:28And I...
01:14:31And they say it, don't they?
01:14:32They say blooming.
01:14:34And...
01:14:35And you were blooming.
01:14:39And then the row and he was ruining your life.
01:14:44And I thought, oh, stupid, stupid me.
01:14:49I thought, oh, I hoped.
01:14:59Six repatriations this year.
01:15:01And every time you're asked to fetch some ex-pat home for cremation,
01:15:05you give the Faulkners the details.
01:15:07This isn't my solicitor.
01:15:07Yeah, he's on his way.
01:15:08You traveled out of the body.
01:15:10They got the drugs to you in Spain or wherever
01:15:13so you could do the surgery.
01:15:16Pretty gruesome.
01:15:17Branch of a pretty filthy drape.
01:15:19Sir, the phone we found at Mr. Miller's desk.
01:15:21We chived it up.
01:15:27How do you explain it?
01:15:30World Cup.
01:15:31I've never seen it before.
01:15:33Your prints are all over it.
01:15:34You sent Matt Whitby that text.
01:15:37You made it possible for the body swap.
01:15:39You're the linchpin of this smuggling ring.
01:15:42How many years do you reckon so far?
01:15:46Peter Faulkner made pretty damn sure
01:15:48that it'd be you ending up sitting in that seat
01:15:50talking to me, didn't he?
01:15:52Time to stop doing his bidding.
01:15:54Look after yourself.
01:16:01It was Johnny J in the coffin.
01:16:04He got drunk, took a lot of drugs.
01:16:07That's what he did.
01:16:08He was out of control.
01:16:10He had a heart attack.
01:16:12A heart attack?
01:16:14They lied to you.
01:16:15You must realise that by now.
01:16:17Results from soccer, sir.
01:16:20Right.
01:16:21We'll leave you to think about things for a few minutes.
01:16:25Consider your future.
01:16:34There comes a time when you have to accept that the game is up.
01:16:37I went to Spliss on holiday.
01:16:39I stayed in a friend's house.
01:16:40And that's it.
01:16:42Following the party at Corby Mance,
01:16:44why did you scurry off to Croatia?
01:16:47Sex with Tara Faulkner, mostly.
01:16:50She says she went to Barcelona.
01:16:52She must have called in on the way back.
01:16:54No idea.
01:16:56What were you running from?
01:16:57There was a fight after the dinner party, wasn't there?
01:17:00Not as far as I know.
01:17:03Why choose Croatia?
01:17:06Why not?
01:17:07Sun, cheap wine.
01:17:08And a crystal meth factory.
01:17:10It's news to me.
01:17:13Look, I was just trying to get my head together
01:17:15after my marriage broke down.
01:17:17I blame the job, you know?
01:17:21Inspector Lewis couldn't believe anything bad about you.
01:17:26Robbie Lewis and the Lady Bird book of policing.
01:17:32We're making inquiries with the border agency,
01:17:34so we'll soon know where you went and when you went.
01:17:37Border agency.
01:17:38You'll be lucky.
01:17:41You know what happens to a police officer in prison.
01:17:44That's why I'm not going there.
01:18:02We've just had the findings from an examination of your house,
01:18:06Mrs. Faulkner.
01:18:07Blood.
01:18:09Hair.
01:18:10Scuff marks.
01:18:11I don't know anything about that.
01:18:12And we have a missing man.
01:18:14Luckily, we also have his son.
01:18:17So it should be easy to check the DNA.
01:18:22Who killed him, Tara?
01:18:24You or Peter?
01:18:26No comment.
01:18:28Brian Miller told your brother how to get into the funeral parlour.
01:18:33A clumsy code for 1966.
01:18:36A clumsy code for 1966.
01:18:36You and I both know that forensics are going to tell us that Johnny J was killed in your house.
01:18:41A week later, your brother's dead.
01:18:44These things must be linked.
01:18:49We don't know why Johnny was killed yet, but we will find out.
01:18:53Good.
01:18:54Good.
01:18:54That's what you get paid for, after all.
01:18:56Peter and Matt never really got on, did they?
01:19:00I think Peter killed Johnny.
01:19:04And you and your brother were appalled, but you never signed up for murder.
01:19:08And Cornish, for all, he was a corrupt copper.
01:19:12Well, he didn't want to know about murder either.
01:19:15So you had a row with your husband, and you went off with Cornish.
01:19:19But your brother, he was so angry about Johnny's death that he couldn't leave it alone.
01:19:26Maybe he even threatened to tell us what had happened.
01:19:29Whatever he said.
01:19:31Your husband went to Matt's surgery and killed him.
01:19:35I don't believe you.
01:19:37He got your brother very drunk.
01:19:38He forced Matt to swallow a cocktail of drugs.
01:19:43Not a pleasant way to go.
01:19:45Whiskey dribbled down his shirt front.
01:19:48Half-dissolved tablets in his mouth, down his throat, choking on them.
01:19:52Struggling.
01:19:54Your husband put his hands either side of his neck to force him back into a sitting position.
01:20:00And when your brother was too drunk to fight anymore,
01:20:03Peter poured formaldehyde down his throat.
01:20:08Embalming fluid.
01:20:10The brother you loved.
01:20:13My husband killed Johnny Jay.
01:20:15Mrs. Fulton, I have...
01:20:16Johnny knew nothing about the crystal meth.
01:20:18But he found a notebook my idiot husband had kept.
01:20:21Consignments, the dates, everything.
01:20:24Johnny didn't know what the stuff was, but he knew it had to be drugs.
01:20:27And the dates would tally with Liam's trips out of the country.
01:20:30Johnny was threatening to go to the police.
01:20:32He turned to go, and my husband hit him hard.
01:20:37That really is enough, Mrs. Fulton.
01:20:38Hit him with...
01:20:40A stone doorstop thing.
01:20:43And then you had the brilliant idea to switch the bodies.
01:20:46They did that together, Matt and Peter.
01:20:49Peter was supposed to bury the other body.
01:20:52But he's so useless, he couldn't even do that properly.
01:20:55Said he'd been interrupted.
01:20:57The fly tippers.
01:20:59And then he tried to kill Ruth.
01:21:02In case Liam had told her something.
01:21:05And that was my fault too.
01:21:08I told him that Liam was waiting to talk to you.
01:21:13So much of this is my fault.
01:21:17Oh.
01:21:48When Johnny realised his son had been used to smuggle drugs, he went mad.
01:21:56Threatened to go to the police.
01:21:57He was raging.
01:22:03So I shut him up.
01:22:05No one else would.
01:22:07But of course that was wrong.
01:22:10According to the great humanitarian Matt Whitby.
01:22:14Then when you found the other body and came sniffing around, he wouldn't shut up.
01:22:20Thug.
01:22:21Bully boy.
01:22:22Psycho.
01:22:27He threatened to feed me to the wolves.
01:22:32You lot.
01:22:34I just wanted to kill him.
01:22:40So I did.
01:22:43You killed Johnny Jay and Matt Whitby.
01:22:47Yep.
01:22:48Because they threatened your drug smuggling operation.
01:22:52Yep.
01:22:52And Brian Miller's role.
01:22:56He embalmed the bodies, packed them with the drugs, then got them out again this end.
01:23:00While you sat back and raked in the cash.
01:23:03I financed the thing, didn't I?
01:23:05That was my bit.
01:23:08Crystal meth.
01:23:10Made in Eastern Europe, supplied to the holiday hotspots.
01:23:14One body packed with two kilos could net us 80,000 quid.
01:23:17How long would it take you to earn that?
01:23:22And Cornish, how did he fit into this?
01:23:26The wife's little bit of rough.
01:23:31He left me in to ramble on.
01:23:37My ramblin' house is dead and gone.
01:23:43And when we die, we come somewhere.
01:24:03I told Dr Whitby I'd seen someone unloading something at Miller's.
01:24:07Did you see who it was?
01:24:10Just a van.
01:24:11Shadows.
01:24:13Thought it might have been a party, but it was so odd.
01:24:17And then you came round asking questions and I didn't know what to do.
01:24:22If in doubt, tell the police.
01:24:24I was going to.
01:24:26Dr Whitby said Dad was involved.
01:24:29Up to his neck in a drug's racket.
01:24:33Your dad didn't do anything wrong, Liam.
01:24:37He died because he cared about you.
01:24:52A drink, for old time's sake.
01:24:54There isn't a spoon long enough.
01:24:56The supping with the devil.
01:24:57Very good, Robbie.
01:24:59Almost witty.
01:25:01You do know that from now on,
01:25:03and everybody in the force will be on your back.
01:25:06You'll have to find me first.
01:25:08See you.
01:25:14Battle between an owl and a ferret.
01:25:17Which one would win?
01:25:19I'm allergic to fur, sir.
01:25:20And feather.
01:25:24You did okay, in spite of it.
01:25:28So, who would win, sir?
01:25:31The one with the dull car, the cheap shoes,
01:25:36and the raging thirst.
01:25:50Cheers.
01:25:53Oh, here is the boy, wasn't there?
01:25:55I thought you had another three days, James.
01:25:58I knew he'd be bored out of his skull without him.
01:26:01Not far wrong, sir.
01:26:02Here, I'll get you a drink.
01:26:03No, no, you...
01:26:04No, you...
01:26:05Sit down.
01:26:09Well, I've enjoyed being the inspector's sidekick.
01:26:12Been all right, hasn't it?
01:26:13Oh.
01:26:15Don't listen to anything he says.
01:26:16He's been a lonely little soul without you.
01:26:22I've been thinking about doing that all day.
01:26:26Same here.
01:26:34Evening?
01:26:37James, gosh, you're sunburned.
01:26:42I'll, uh, get the drinks in.
01:26:43No, I'll get them.
01:26:44No, no, we'll both get them.
01:26:47You can have that one.
01:26:53How long?
01:26:55I turned my back for five minutes.
01:27:05It was good of you, but we could have got a taxi.
01:27:07You'll have a load of stuff to sort out with the coroner in the next few days.
01:27:10Take my advice.
01:27:12If anyone holds out a helping hand...
01:27:13Grab it.
01:27:15My dad died suddenly, too.
01:27:18I was 16.
01:27:19Police and coroners and all that.
01:27:22Did someone hold out a hand to you?
01:27:24Yes.
01:27:25A policeman.
01:27:26A Geordie.
01:27:29Is that why you became a police officer?
01:27:31Yeah.
01:27:32He doesn't remember it.
01:27:34I'll never forget.
01:27:35What?
01:27:49I was a force of three things...
01:27:54My love Frank, my father...
01:27:54I've got his family in here.
01:27:55See you next time.
01:27:56I've got this man before you...
01:27:58can't do that again.
01:28:00I'm a loser.
01:28:02I forgot a good...
01:28:05I've got this woman after home.
