00:01That's not what I said, but they're asking questions.
00:05They're sort of questions.
00:06Past behaviour.
00:08Rory said he saw him in some kind of fight on the rugby pitch.
00:12I'm just telling you what I heard, Alana.
00:14Let's get your stuff and come stay with me.
00:30Dad!
00:31Dad!
00:32Alana, wait!
00:33Get him inside the house.
00:34Get him inside the house.
00:35Dad!
00:36Dad!
00:36It's all right.
00:37It's all right.
00:38Calm down.
00:40Ah!
00:42Dickens!
00:46The guy has done nothing wrong.
00:48Ah!
00:49Ah!
00:50You should be arresting him, not me!
00:53Charlie, x-ray 356.
00:54Can I get any tail net backup, please?
00:56What the hell was that?
00:57You had your hand around his neck, Michael.
00:59People are going to think you were trying to strangle him!
01:05There are a few conflicting accounts of what happened here.
01:09What's conflicting about them?
01:10Well, D.I. Stanhope says that he came to see you.
01:13Something about your Tina Bradley review.
01:16I actually asked him not to come.
01:18Andy, Mutch, who's the sergeant on duty at the house, said it looked personal.
01:22Not something I'm particularly comfortable about, Annie, given your past relationship
01:26and given you were meant to be working.
01:27That's exactly what I said.
01:28Michael Polley came out of the house and tried to assault him.
01:32That's not quite what happened.
01:33He was forced to restrain Michael.
01:35Yes.
01:36There's also the fact that Michael Polley took D.I. Stanhope by the neck.
01:39It was more fending him off.
01:41Sorry, who was fending who off?
01:42Michael was fending off Craig, D.I. Stanhope.
01:45So he didn't put his hand around his neck.
01:50It's obviously relevant, Annie.
01:52Yes.
01:52Given how Sarah died.
01:53It wasn't like that, Aidan.
01:55Michael Polley is our prime suspect in the murder of his wife.
01:59We've spoken to D.I. Stanhope and he's decided not to press charges.
02:03But, Annie, if an incident such as this occurs during your time as a family liaison officer, we need to
02:10remove you from that role.
02:13You're going to remove me from the role?
02:14Why? What did I do?
02:15It's standard practice.
02:17You need to step back.
02:18You've compromised your position.
02:20I thought you didn't want to be a fellow.
02:22I didn't.
02:23But he started talking.
02:25Men like that find it hard to talk at the best of times, but he started opening up to me.
02:29Annie. You need me in there.
02:30I even recorded some of it, our conversations.
02:32Well, you shouldn't have.
02:32I'll play them for you now.
02:35I know he's not alibi, but I don't think he's done it.
02:37Not by the way he's talking.
02:39Let's come back to this later.
02:40No, let's come back to this now, okay?
02:41I'm the only one he'll speak to.
02:44Why won't this bloody thing open now, typical?
02:46Annie, we're not removing you from the case.
02:48There are still actions to be carried out from here.
02:50I don't want to work here.
02:52Annie, you will do as you're told.
03:15What?
03:16What was your ex doing there?
03:19Craig?
03:23Is that who sent you the flowers?
03:27You said to scream at you if you ever went back.
03:30Why didn't you tell me?
03:36Annie.
03:41They want me to stop and say I fell low because it will happen.
03:46Just as they started to talk, they'd taken away from me.
04:01You have no choice.
04:04You need to tell the police.
04:06About the diary.
04:08Your mum was scared.
04:09That's what she wrote.
04:11What if the victim wasn't your mum?
04:13And the man you were suspicious of wasn't your dad?
04:15Would you go to the police then?
04:18So the only thing stopping you from telling the police
04:22is the fact that it's your dad?
04:24That is a thing, Paul.
04:25Obviously, you love your dad,
04:27but not to the point of letting him get away with hurting your mum.
04:33Ilana.
04:34At the very least, let the police work it in.
04:42I don't know what it's about.
04:43She just said she wanted to see us after school.
04:53Everyone's very excited about the last game of the season.
04:56And nobody's trying to look past the events of the past few weeks.
04:59No, absolutely not.
05:00Things that must have been happening at home.
05:03But we need to discuss Dylan's academic work.
05:06In English and Biology, he's just about on course, but his history is...
05:11Well, we're not where we need to be.
05:13We'd like Dylan to take a test to assess his progress.
05:17On Monday after school, that's, what, three days from now.
05:20Push him to make an improvement in his essay writing.
05:23Otherwise...
05:24Otherwise, we're not sure about the rugby.
05:26About him playing in the match.
05:28We all want him to play, but he's way behind in terms of his grasp of the current module.
05:36Rugby is Dylan's best thing.
05:37It's how he burns off energy.
05:39It's how he expresses himself.
05:40Why would you do that?
05:42It's an incentive.
05:43No, it's just cruel.
05:45Mrs. Sedgwick, if Dylan doesn't improve, he'll fall behind in terms of his predicted grades,
05:50university choices.
05:51This is for him.
05:54I've spoken to Mr. Whitchurch, and he agrees.
05:57And Mr. Polly?
05:58Mr. Polly is currently suspended from the school.
06:30Hello, you've reached Alana Polly's phone.
06:32Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.
06:54D.I. Stanhope doesn't wish to press charges.
06:57The incident this morning, Michael, outside, when you accosted him.
07:00I accosted him?
07:01Is that how you're choosing to remember it now, yeah?
07:03Either way, it's not so relevant now, as he doesn't want to press charges.
07:07You should also note, D.S. Cassidy will no longer be your FLO.
07:10D.C. Hammond will remain in place and we'll find someone to replace Annie.
07:13Who?
07:14That's all to be worked out.
07:16And what if I don't want this person?
07:18If it's not Annie, I don't want anyone.
07:19In fact, I don't want anyone here.
07:20I'm still going to update you.
07:23Whenever there's a development.
07:24You can show yourselves that.
08:15I just wanted to check on you.
08:18I'm worried I got a bit heavy.
08:20I just didn't like the way you came charging out of that house.
08:23I told you not to come.
08:24I said I couldn't talk.
08:25I know.
08:25Thanks to you, I'm no longer a FLO.
08:27I know.
08:28And nobody was charging anywhere, Craig.
08:30Look, I'm sorry if I misread it.
08:32I just didn't want him to hurt you.
08:33Could you listen, please?
08:35Please.
08:36I don't want us to mess this up.
08:38And we won't.
08:41Annie.
08:45Annie.
08:47I promise you.
08:51You made promises before.
08:58Please.
09:00Please.
09:00Please just let me book the table again and pretend like the day never happened.
09:12Why didn't you just come over and I'll burn you that lasagna like I always used to?
09:18You do that for me?
09:19I do that for you.
09:47I am not.
09:48I am not.
09:59I am not.
10:04Memories of the Patriots.
10:07You are.
10:08You are.
10:09You are.
10:10And 14 years old.
10:12You have.
10:13You are.
10:13You are.
10:14You are.
10:15You are.
10:20Alfie Lamont, strangled a woman in Lee Woods in 2008.
10:25Here's a history of attacking women.
10:26One of them was a jogger.
10:28Yeah, and...
10:28Come on, let me just finish.
10:29Another was a walker.
10:30Sarah Polly was a walker.
10:31And then he was released from prison in 2021.
10:35And now...
10:36We're trying to...
10:36He lives in Abbotsley.
10:37Yeah, his brother Edward does, or Alfie Lamont in Spain.
10:40Is he?
10:41We know since February.
10:42How do you know?
10:43We checked.
10:45Just so you know, Annie, we're doing all this.
10:48We're looking at past offenders, similar attacks, unsolved crimes.
10:52While you were working as the FLO, we haven't been sat here doing nothing.
10:54We've been working really hard.
10:56I know how hard you work.
10:57That bag, by the way.
10:58Ivan says it's in the evidence room.
11:00Bag?
11:00Bag of evidence.
11:02It needs logging.
11:03Stuff found at the outer cordon at the murder site.
11:05Ivan's asked if you could check it.
11:08Just so you know, if you have time.
11:09Hello?
11:10Yeah, what is it on that way?
11:12We'll have to wait.
11:16We'll have to wait.
11:54What are you doing here?
11:55Sir, they're making me do a history test.
11:58I'm going to fail it.
11:59What's this got to do with me?
12:01They teach history.
12:03Me and my coach, sir.
12:05If I fail the test, then my season's over.
12:10Can't play in the final match.
12:14Shoot.
12:15Well, they're not wrong.
12:16You do need to improve.
12:18Who plays in that match?
12:19That's still my decision.
12:22He said you're no longer at the school, sir.
12:30So what's it about, this essay?
12:33The Munich Agreement.
12:34Mr. Bowman says he wants an essay on Chamberlain.
12:36The mistake of trusting Hitler.
12:38Nobody wants an essay on why it was a mistake to trust Hitler.
12:41Isn't that what happened?
12:43And they certainly don't want an essay just relaying what happened.
12:45And what they want is to find out what you think.
12:47They want an argument.
12:48An argument?
12:49Yes.
12:49Pick a line.
12:51Just like in rugby.
12:52Pick an angle.
12:53And the harder the angle, the more impressive it is.
12:57So how about this?
12:58How about that he was right to trust Hitler?
13:00Was he?
13:00Well, that doesn't matter.
13:01That's what you claim.
13:03What I'm trying to...
13:04Well, what Mr. Bowman is trying to do is test your ability to make us see history differently.
13:09In a new way.
13:10See it in your way.
13:12But that's not what I'm doing here.
13:15And you need to leave.
13:16Please, sir.
13:20Our focus stays on one man.
13:24Where was Michael Polley in the three days before Sarah's body was found?
13:27Before we had eyes on him at all times.
13:30We know he left the house on the night she went missing.
13:33But could he have moved the body on another night?
13:36Seems possible.
13:38He's got gaps in his timeline, knowledge of his wife's affair, propensity for reacting physically.
13:45Anything from the CCTV and any doorbell cameras in the area?
13:49No.
13:50Footage is patchy because it's such a rural area.
14:02All done.
14:04What's he want me to do with these?
14:06Just logged and bagged up properly and taken down the evidence store.
14:29Hello?
14:29Have you seen it?
14:30In the Mercury.
14:32The Mercury?
14:32Bradley family claims no new lead in over a decade as more attention has turned to the
14:37unsolved murder of a headmaster's wife.
14:41Brother Gareth bemoans a lack of progress.
14:43Talk of well-intentioned detectives and...
14:47Yeah, go on.
14:48And never feeling like Tina is the priority.
14:52Jesus.
14:54Is this in today's?
14:55After everything you've done.
14:58Mm-hmm.
15:28We can get hold of you.
15:30Well, that's bollocks, for starters.
15:31Where's Carol?
15:32She's not in.
15:33She's never not in, Gareth.
15:35That's what she tells me to say when there's someone at the door she doesn't want to see.
15:37She's got no choice.
15:39I'll do it.
15:46How did I get to this?
15:51Never feeling like Tina is priority.
15:53Carol, I'm around here every week.
15:56I think about her every day she was my friend.
15:59When did Tina go missing?
16:01What date?
16:02You know the date.
16:06July 17th, 2004.
16:09Between the hours of midnight and 1am, it's etched on my brain, Carol.
16:14It's a long time ago.
16:17It's getting that way.
16:20And I love you as a friend.
16:24But I can't help thinking, as a detective, if you were going to find her, you'd have done it by
16:33now.
16:43I love you as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a
16:54detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as
16:56a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective,
16:56as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a
16:56detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as
16:56a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective,
16:56as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a
16:56detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as a detective, as
16:59a detective, as a detective, as a
17:12I don't know.
17:36What we need to remember is, for us, these events are historical.
17:40He didn't have the benefit of hindsight.
17:42And would we think about Chamberlain the way that we think about him today if we'd lost that war?
17:47No. No, sir.
17:48So what are we saying?
17:51We're saying...
17:52That Chamberlain was...
17:53Right?
17:54Well, we can't use that word, but...
17:56Unlucky?
17:57Yes, he was certainly that.
18:00And maybe...
18:01Honourable.
18:02Because sometimes it's more honourable not to fight.
18:07To try and find compromise and...
18:11A peaceful solution.
18:15And everything is pointing towards conflict and confrontation and the loss again of millions of lives.
18:22Maybe the wisest or the bravest choice is not to engage.
18:28And that's, um...
18:31An active choice in itself.
18:36And so that can be our argument.
18:38That's how we get you to play in the match.
18:40We explain the choices that Chamberlain was facing then, not with the benefit of hindsight.
18:45Yes, sir.
18:46Except it's...
18:47It's not us saying it.
18:50It's...
18:50I'm writing the essay.
18:52Yes, that's what I meant.
18:55What time is the test?
18:575pm.
18:58Before prep.
18:59Well, let's make some final notes, shall we?
19:12Dylan?
19:13Is he in there?
19:14One of his mates said he saw him come up here.
19:16Dylan!
19:17Out!
19:17Do you hear me?
19:19He's helping with my history exam.
19:20Well, he shouldn't and he knows it.
19:22It's totally inappropriate.
19:23Come on.
19:23It's not inappropriate.
19:24Dylan.
19:26Thank you, sir.
19:27Come on.
20:07They're getting closer to proving it's Polly.
20:11Apparently, his mother-in-law reckons he did it.
20:14I know you're not sure, but even Alana's starting to wonder.
20:18I can see it on her face.
20:26Really?
20:27You're not talking to me now.
20:31Annie?
20:38Okay, if anyone asks someone to put this stuff in the store.
20:41Okay?
20:57Dylan.
20:58Okay, Dylan.
20:58It's five o'clock.
20:59Test us now.
21:28Do you want to get a coffee?
21:34One day, I'm going to look back on all this.
21:39And I'm going to ask myself, did I do the right thing for the kids?
21:44Saying nothing.
21:47Doing nothing.
21:48Doing nothing during all this shit you've put us through.
21:53No, I do not want to get coffee.
22:03I'll wait.
22:04Bye-bye.
22:11после facile fishing.
22:34Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
22:45Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:14Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
23:19Can I help you?
23:23Sorry, um, boring.
23:26Routine check.
23:29I'm looking for Edward Lamont.
23:30Edward or Eddie?
23:32If you want Eddie, you've found him.
23:33And if I want Edward?
23:34I don't mind waiting.
23:36Yeah, you're going to be waiting a while.
23:37Dad died just before Christmas.
23:42I'm sorry.
23:43No, don't be.
23:44All these women come out of the woodwork.
23:46All this other stuff.
23:48In, in, shh, in, in.
23:50Spend all your time thinking you know a guy.
23:52Taking his word for things.
23:54Turns out he's capable of all sorts.
23:57Do you, um, want to see the death certificate?
23:59I don't mind if he helps you with...
24:01Sorry.
24:02Just, in, don't, don't.
24:28Before we tell you what we think, I want to say well done to you.
24:32Uh, Mr. Bowman showed me your essay, and it's clear you did a lot of reading on the subject,
24:36so we first want to commend you on that.
24:39What do you say?
24:41Thank, thank you.
24:42He put a lot of work in.
24:43Didn't he, mate?
24:44It's, it's very important to him, playing in the rugby.
24:47And getting better at history.
24:49Absolutely.
24:50That's the point of this.
24:53We both took a look at your essay, and there was a lot of great work in it,
24:56but neither of us felt that we saw the improvement that we were after.
25:02Chamberlain hesitated.
25:03I'm saying the opposite.
25:05Failed to stand up.
25:06What I'm saying is that he didn't want a war in a faraway country.
25:10Yes, exactly.
25:11We went through that in class.
25:12A man who fails to address his problems.
25:14You try and make the argument that it's honorable.
25:17It's probably easier to argue that it's weak.
25:19Hold cowardly.
25:30So does this mean I can't play in the match?
25:42$25,000 a fucking year.
25:44And for what?
25:45Get the fuck off!
25:46I don't know what you've done to her!
25:47My mum!
25:48Stop it!
25:49I mean, this isn't about me!
25:50It's not about me!
25:51They're not punishing me!
25:52You don't, you don't get it!
25:54Stop it!
25:54They're punishing you!
25:55I'm angry because of you!
25:58Dana.
26:02Come on.
26:45You don't, you don't, you don't.
27:20We'll see you next time.
27:39We'll see you next time.
27:55We'll see you next time.
28:18Fuck it, I'll use my own key then.
28:24Fuck it, I'll use my own key then.
28:34What are you going to do?
28:36Beat me through the fucking ladder box?
28:39Fuck the hell.
28:42I don't know.
28:44I thought you'd move beyond all this.
28:46All these games.
28:51Do you want to see it or not?
29:03I don't know.
29:04I know you can see me.
29:07I'm doing everything right here.
29:09To the ladder.
29:12This is bullshit.
29:14I don't know.
29:15Fuck this.
29:37Is that your plan?
29:39To get me the shattered you and door camera?
29:43I know you're there.
29:46Look, there's a forensic report.
29:48I'm so looking forward to bringing it to you.
29:53I know, look at you making me...
30:03I love you.
30:04Remember, I love you.
30:08I had it when you make us fight like this.
30:11It triggers me.
30:12You know it does.
30:13Why would you do that?
30:18No wonder they end up going to the papers.
31:02She'll talk to you.
31:04But not in the house.
31:13She'll talk to you.
31:13But not in the house.
31:25Paul says I need to go to the police.
31:29It says...
31:30Some of that stuff in mum's diary is stuff they need to be aware of.
31:35But before we go, dad, I need to ask you a question.
31:39I need you to turn around and look me in the eyes so I can ask you the question.
31:47And I need you to tell me the truth.
31:57Turn around.
32:05Did you kill mum?
32:18Couldn't you just let her go?
32:54Sorry, sir.
32:55They didn't want it.
32:56They didn't want what you had to say.
32:58Sorry, what does that mean?
32:59Well, they didn't like my essay.
33:01They didn't like the fact that I came to you and I asked you for help.
33:04And you couldn't.
33:05You didn't teach me.
33:06You messed it up.
33:07Dylan, I'm sorry you feel like that.
33:09But that's not what...
33:09You were teaching me for yourself.
33:13You were thinking of yourself when you were talking to me.
33:18You're best player.
33:19And you still, you fuck it up.
33:21Don't use that word.
33:22Why?
33:23You're going to take it out of me again.
33:25What your wife did with my dad.
33:28That's your fault.
33:29It's not mine.
33:39You wouldn't pick yourself, sir.
33:45Because you're a pussy.
33:46Don't use that word.
33:47You're a pussy!
33:48Just watch your mouth.
33:49No, sir!
33:50You watch my mouth!
33:51You don't fight!
33:53You give everyone this speech about how everyone should have each other's backs, yet you don't
33:57do shit for anyone!
34:00No wonder people are pointing fingers.
34:03No wonder everyone's gone!
34:07What are you going to do about it?
34:10Go on, sir.
34:11What are you going to do to fix it?
34:26That's what I thought.
34:26Oh, my God.
35:05I'm sorry.
35:06If he makes you happy, who am I to judge?
35:10I'm going to back off.
35:16Gov?
35:17Gov, the daughter's here.
35:18Wants to give us a new statement.
35:20Yeah.
35:54Wants to give us a new statement.
36:12Hello, you've reached Alana Polly's phone.
36:14Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.
36:41I want to tell you everything, but I want Paul to stay.
36:44Alana, this is all on your terms.
36:57There's been a lot of fighting between mum and dad.
37:00That's the first thing.
37:03In the evenings, one time after they thought I was teaching, but I was still in the house.
37:10She was scared of him.
37:13You think she was scared?
37:14I know she was.
37:15She told you.
37:18She wrote it in her diary.
37:22We had mum's diary.
37:25They took the pages out because they were private.
37:29And where are those pages now?
37:36They burned them.
37:37Her and Michael.
37:39She's worried that she's going to get in trouble for that, but I've said that she shouldn't be.
37:43It's best to tell you everything.
37:46That's right, Alana.
37:49Alana.
37:50As long as you tell us the truth, you've nothing to be worried about, okay?
37:57She was scared of him.
37:59That's what it said.
38:01And I've been thinking about it ever since.
38:05How I've lived with him all this time.
38:08That he loves me.
38:11But I don't really know him.
38:14You know, what he feels.
38:16That's what he felt about your mum.
38:21And what he feels about you.
38:23About anything.
38:27They don't.
38:29Do they?
38:31Men like that, they tell you the practical stuff, but they can never let you in.
38:37They can't.
38:41Then we went to see him this morning, didn't we?
38:46Yeah, I wanted to ask him.
38:49To his face.
38:51If he killed your mum.
38:56You asked him that.
39:00He didn't say anything.
39:01You ran away.
39:03You came to be of the last.
39:08Coming.
39:18Bye.
39:20I have met him.
39:23I Loved he.
39:25I hope he is.
39:26I don't know him.
39:26I know your trust.
39:29I know your was.
39:30You showed his smile.
39:31I was.
