00:03Take your hands off me!
00:05You had your hand around his neck, Michael.
00:07It's not Annie, I don't want anyone.
00:08In fact, I don't want anyone here.
00:09We need to discuss Dylan's academic work.
00:12So does this mean I can't play in the match?
00:1425 grand a year, and for what?
00:16They're punishing you!
00:18I'm angry because of you!
00:20Have you seen it?
00:20Bradley family claims no new lead in over a decade
00:23and never feeling like Tina is the priority.
00:26I think about her every day, she was my friend.
00:28If you were gonna find her, you'd have done it by now.
00:32Did you kill mum?
00:35Couldn't you have just let her go?
00:36No wonder people are pointing fingers!
00:38No wonder everyone's gone!
00:40I wanted to ask him, to his face,
00:43if he killed your mum.
00:44He didn't say anything.
00:48Just to be clear, you think he did it.
00:52He didn't deny it, he just had this look on his face like...
00:57everything was over.
01:00And him saying nothing?
01:03That was his way of saying that you were...
01:05right?
01:08No.
01:09No, that's how we got here in the first place.
01:11He's not capable...
01:14of saying anything.
01:16Mum, incident at the school.
01:18Ambulance is called.
01:26Oh you....
01:27I am guilty...
01:33I am guilty!
01:37In a moment...
01:39I am guilty.
01:42Yes, did you say that?
01:42Yes, I have to be left.
01:42I am guilty, I am guilty.
01:46I am guilty.
02:15I've been talking to
02:16the people here. They got to him just in time. And there's this. It's addressed to you.
03:06I am to blame for the death of Sarah Polly. Not even the death of my wife. Sarah Polly.
03:12Why is she someone who lives down the road? There's a separation there. It's not a confession.
03:17It's a tacit confession. It's an admission he wasn't enough. That's what he's been saying.
03:22He blames himself for her death. Not a murder. Annie, you know sometimes the most obvious thing
03:29is the thing that's happened. More often than not in fact. So once the psychiatrist says we're
03:34allowed in, we put this to him again. What he meant by this note? If he killed Sarah.
03:40I don't think he did. Then you need to find a way to eliminate him. That's allowed now,
03:44is it? I'm back on the team. You were never off the team. I was litter picking.
03:46Logging. Little logging. What I'm saying, Annie, is if you're so sure that he's innocent,
03:50get out there and prove it. Okay.
04:00No visitors. Not yet. Dad. Dad, Dad, please. Listen, please move away. Dad, please. Please,
04:06please move away from the door. I need to know why you did this. Dad, Dad, Dad, please.
04:15Listen, please go back. Dad, tell me why. Tell me why.
04:38You sit down.
04:43Despite what some of you might have heard, there will be no changes to today's timetable.
04:48Tomorrow we will host the final rugby game of the season as planned. Your attendance at that,
04:54especially at a time when we could all benefit from pulling together.
05:00Well, it's positively encouraged. Whatever's happened over these past few weeks, however awful,
05:08I want you all to remember it is not the fault of any of you here.
05:23Okay. Here's one for you. If he murdered her, Michael, what about his car?
05:28Fine, thanks, Annie. How are you? He had to move the body to the woods,
05:31wouldn't he? So unless he gave her a piggyback down there, he would have had to drive.
05:35So what did forensics say they found in the car? Nothing. Nothing.
05:39Nothing incriminating. That's what I thought. Only because they shared it. Forensics find plenty of
05:42evidence of Sarah present in the car, but you'd expect that. It couldn't prove anything either way.
05:50Are you okay? Yeah.
05:55I don't think he did it.
06:01I've gotten to know him, Duncan. I spent a lot of time with him.
06:06And I don't think he's the person who's killed Sarah.
06:12I'm worried we're going to end up charging the wrong guy here.
06:17So you want to show he couldn't have done it? Exactly. Because if he can't have done it,
06:21he can't have done it. Even if he says he did? Yes.
06:28Let's look at it all again.
06:32Thank you. That's all right.
06:35It's not so much the car as the boot. You'd better put the body in the boot.
06:39So we're after blood, saliva, hair, and anything that indicates that she
06:44she was made to lie in the back.
06:47Well, there's no blood. Okay.
06:49Nothing here about any saliva. 421B and C. Head hairs belonging to V1.
07:00Sarah Polly.
07:07Okay. That still doesn't mean he, um...
07:13Doesn't mean he did anything, does it? There could have been hair.
07:15Well, there could be hair on the collar of a jacket, and she put the jacket in the boot.
07:18Yeah, exactly. There could be hair on the jacket, on the collar. That would explain it, yes.
07:22It would, yeah.
07:28Like you say, it doesn't prove anything either way, does it?
07:35Thanks. It's all right.
07:52Does he not want to see me because of what he did to Mum?
07:55Or because what he tried to do in the woods? That's what I can't work out.
08:00He told you he did it. That's what you need to keep in the front of your mind.
08:04He sat in that car and he admitted it. No, he didn't deny it.
08:09And that's different. Well, why would he write that note?
08:12Or he haven't read any note. Or do what he tried to do in the woods.
08:15Because his wife has been murdered and his daughter has accused him of doing it.
08:20So deny it. He's not like that.
08:22Why not? Because he's not programmed like that.
08:28He is not a violent man.
08:30He is according to Trudy. And Rory. And the detective he was fighting with outside.
08:38You suspected him too, remember?
08:41I'm trying to work it out.
08:42Well, don't. I'm telling you I'm not sure. So just support me. Okay?
08:50Visitor. I thought you said she wasn't allowed to be here anymore.
08:54She's not. I need to speak to you, Alana.
09:04I know what people are saying.
09:08What are people saying?
09:10That he attacked one of the boys.
09:13Is that what they're saying?
09:15He was never like that with us, with me growing up.
09:18He...
09:21He loved me.
09:23He loved her.
09:27And I'm sorry.
09:29I'm sorry I know why I came to you.
09:31But now I'm not sure and he won't talk to me.
09:33Don't be sorry, Alana, please.
09:36Because I don't think your dad did it either.
09:39I really don't. Okay?
09:42No, the problem I have is that I think he wants people to think he did it.
09:50Michael, we need to talk to you.
09:52But we can't do that here.
09:54It has to happen at the station.
09:56So we need to arrest you.
09:58Do this properly.
09:59Come on now.
10:00Tell us what you meant in that note.
10:02And then you can tell us what you did to Sarah.
10:06When you did it.
10:08We need your help with that.
10:12When did you move a body, Michael?
10:14Was it in the night?
10:16During the day?
10:18Which day?
10:19We need that for the CPS.
10:22I can't remember.
10:23Alana came to us, Michael.
10:32If you want to do it for us, do it for her.
10:35Explain.
10:42It was Wednesday.
10:44It would have been a Wednesday.
11:01Wednesday, that's when he thinks he did it.
11:03I need you to go through his diary with his secretary.
11:06If there's a gap on that Wednesday, we're close.
11:08But it cuts both ways.
11:09If there's no gap, we rule him out.
11:11Not necessarily.
11:12Ivan, why confess to murder and give the wrong time?
11:15Let's just check, OK?
11:21I'll ring you back when I know.
11:36I'll ring you back when I know.
11:39I'll ring you back when I know.
11:43Let's check.
11:44Let's check.
11:47Let's check.
11:50Let's check.
11:51routine for years there. Wednesday the 25th. It's the same as every Wednesday. There's
11:56always a gap at four o'clock in case we need to put something in like a meeting or if
12:02he
12:02needs to pop out. Why? Only you and Michael have access to this. Michael never looks at
12:09this. Michael keeps it all up here. But if you do need to put something in something
12:16last minute and he never looks at this, then where does that go? That goes in his diary.
12:20His diary? On his desk, normally. No good with technology. I know the one you
12:28mean. Oh, found it. Got it. 23rd, 24th, 25th. And? It just says keep clear. Is his
12:48handwriting or yours? His. Definitely his. His. Sorry, what does this mean? It means I'm
12:58gonna need to take this with me. For the tape, I'm Detective Constable Neera Barker, also
13:10present. Detective Inspector Ivan Pemberley. Kyra Doyle, appropriate adult. Michael, you
13:16have been arrested for the murder of your wife, Sarah. You've been offered a solicitor, but
13:21you've declined. That is correct. Yes, Michael? Yes. That's correct. Michael, I want to be
13:29clear. Nothing you have told us outside of this room is on the record. So now is your chance,
13:35given what you wrote in your note to DS Cassidy to explain everything that has happened. So
13:42why don't we start with the Monday, the day of the rugby match? Then let's talk about Wednesday
13:48when you set aside time in your diary. And we do this once, Michael. Then it's over for
13:54everyone. Okay? Do you understand what we're saying, Michael? Yes, I understand.
14:07Hello. Can I have a word, please? Of course. You better have some massive fucking bombshell
14:31for me. You can't continue that interview. No? Why? Why? Look at him. He's not okay. Well,
14:35the psychiatrist would disagree with you. This has all been done the proper way. Next.
14:39Next? Next question. Would you listen to yourself? Honestly, you don't have a next question. Otherwise
14:43I'm going back. It doesn't matter what the psychiatrist says. He's in there with an appropriate adult.
14:47He's about 15 years old. I mean, look at him. Look at him with your own eyes, for Christ's sake.
14:51Look at the state he's in. He's carrying a lot of guilt. He's suffering. He needs support.
14:55Protect and serve. Do you remember that? Protect him. Then if he's done it, we will get to that.
15:00What? What's wrong? You want Sonny?
15:27Interview suspended at 1344. There's a great cafe across the street. I often go there.
15:36You know, if ever there's a half an hour where I'm not needed.
15:58When we sat here two weeks ago, when you insisted on seeing a detective, turned out to be me,
16:07I thought straight away he's the man who's the man who's most likely killed his wife.
16:12He knows he needs to come and talk to us before we can talk to him.
16:18And then there was times where I was certain you hadn't done it.
16:26Now, I don't know what to think.
16:31I tell you who deserves to know the truth.
16:34Alana.
16:48I can't.
16:51You owe her that.
16:57I can't see her.
17:04She's lost her mum, Michael.
17:07Please don't let her lose her dad.
17:12Because she loves her dad very, very much.
17:24We'll be as quick as we can.
17:26I'll call you back.
17:31He wants to talk to you.
17:45He wants to talk to you.
17:54He wants to talk to you.
18:19None of this is admissible.
18:21It's not even being recorded.
18:23Do you want us to stop it?
18:24I wouldn't.
18:25This is a job.
18:26A family liaison officer.
18:28There's a difference, isn't there?
18:31Between feeling responsible for a crime and actually committing it.
18:37That's what Alana deserves to understand, Michael.
18:41It's better to know her father killed her mother than never to find out.
18:50Please tell her.
18:57She's right, Dad.
18:58Just tell me.
18:59She's right.
19:12She's right.
19:15Oh, my God.
19:46You remember, I, um, I told you about my predecessor, how he told me not to let the job overwhelm
19:57me.
20:00Well, it didn't just overwhelm me.
20:04It defined me.
20:06What do you mean?
20:09When parents are thinking about sending their children to the school and the person they
20:19look to represent the sort of man that our school creates, serious and strong, a leader
20:30in charge.
20:35But in the end, that's all I was.
20:40That man.
20:43And it wasn't just at school.
20:46It was my whole life.
20:50At home.
20:55So that when your mum needed me, she needed me to...
21:05to admit that things were going wrong.
21:08That she needed change.
21:12I wouldn't.
21:15And I wasn't there for her.
21:17I wasn't.
21:19Even when we were in the same house, same room.
21:30And in the end, she stopped trying.
21:34And we stopped talking.
21:39And I could see her.
21:45I could see my wife.
21:46And I knew what was happening.
21:48And I didn't...
21:51I didn't do anything.
21:57I just let it happen.
22:03I didn't know the words.
22:05I didn't know it.
22:07I...
22:10I didn't know how to let it see me.
22:19And that's not strength, is it?
22:20That's not winning.
22:21That's just...
22:23defeat after defeat after.
22:31I failed her.
22:34I failed her as a husband.
22:38And as a partner.
22:42And I failed as a teacher.
22:44And I failed you.
22:47As a father.
22:49I'm sorry.
22:52I'm sorry.
23:13That gap on the Wednesday, he was interviewing a teacher for a languages job.
23:19You sure?
23:19Yes.
23:20Because I asked him to keep it clear.
23:23Are you 100% positive?
23:24Yes.
23:25Because she stormed off.
23:26It was a total bloody disaster.
23:31That is not you.
23:33That is the school.
23:34And we have been making these boys for all these years.
23:40And we've been...
23:42We've been wrong.
23:44We've been wrong.
23:46And I still am pig-headed and arrogant.
23:52And the damage I've caused, it's still happening.
23:56And Dylan came to me and he was so angry.
24:00He was angry at me and...
24:03The affair and the adults who should know better.
24:08We've just fucking up his life.
24:11And what I did...
24:16When I did it, I can't...
24:20I can't forgive myself what happened.
24:23What happened to who?
24:26Dad.
24:27For what happened to Mum?
24:33Did you do it?
24:36Dad.
24:39Please.
24:42Did you do it?
24:54Do you promise?
24:56No.
25:00Then who did?
25:02If it wasn't you, you must have some idea who would be this angry with her.
25:06Who would do this to Mum?
25:10Dylan.
25:16What if it's Dylan?
25:25We need to tread extremely carefully.
25:28We work with the school and we are light touch.
25:32Annie, given how you know the staff and Ivan as SAO, you go down there.
25:36But that is it.
25:38This stays amongst us.
25:40No one breathes this to anyone.
25:42Yeah.
25:43It's a theory.
25:44Nothing more.
25:46And Annie's right.
25:47It's no one's idea of a good result.
26:03We need to have a conversation regarding one of your pupils.
26:06Are you the teacher in charge, her?
26:08No, but I'm head of the sixth form.
26:10But if you tell me...
26:10Who is the teacher in charge?
26:11That's Mr Bowman now.
26:13But he's popped home to get a trophy for the end of the match.
26:16Who is the teacher in charge?
26:28Who is the teacher in charge?
26:49it's the trophy we were given when i was a boy at school last team to go invictus back in

32:05I'm not calling anyone.
32:09No one's coming, there's no backup.
32:11I've just switched that phone off, look.
32:14Just you and me.
32:19You're upset about Sarah.
32:23Oh, God.
32:26She clearly meant a lot to you.
32:40Did she mean a lot to you?
32:51We'd known each other for years.
32:55Yeah, he was not what she deserved.
32:56Michael?
32:58I tried to kiss her once, made her move after a night out with the teachers.
33:01And she said she couldn't, that she mustn't.
33:03And she was right, because she was married.
33:06Otherwise, it would have worked out.
33:09Between us, you know, that's the tragedy.
33:13And all the crap started.
33:15You know, she looked after me, Sarah.
33:17What crap?
33:17Teachers, female teachers.
33:19One of them accused me of...
33:23God, I never did anything.
33:27But I'm a single man.
33:28And if I like someone, why...
33:30Why can't I try and...
33:33You know, how else does anyone make their feelings known?
33:38They said it wasn't the only occasion.
33:41And that there'd been a complaint to that the school might get a reputation of female teachers.
33:49And she convinced Mike to give me a final chance.
33:56She was very important to you.
33:58Yes.
34:00Yeah.
34:01Yeah.
34:04I've never told anyone that.
34:18And then, uh...
34:20I noticed the affair.
34:21It was me, not Mike who spotted it.
34:24So I confronted her about it.
34:26I made her text him, Sedgwick, saying it was over.
34:28I forced her to do that for her own good.
34:31If she can't be with you, a good man like you, she can't be with Sedgwick.
34:34And if you have an affair with a parent, and that gets out...
34:36Well, she'd have to leave.
34:37Well, they both would.
34:38The school would have suffered.
34:40My, my school.
34:41And she lied to me, said it was over when it wasn't, said she'd ended it.
34:45So I kept telling her she should stop it for the sake of the school.
34:48For the school.
34:49But she kept shouting.
34:52She kept shouting and shouting.
34:56And I...
34:56I...
35:00I wanted her to stop shouting.
35:02And that's who I wanted to...
35:06They needed to stop.
35:09They...
35:14It's...
35:14I never...
35:17You know, I'm the last person in the world who'd ever want to do anything like that.
35:20I really am.
35:29God, sorry.
35:31Sorry.
35:36Rory, from what you're saying, it sounds more like an accident.
35:45You know, stuff goes wrong.
35:49People have arguments and things just...
35:51They just get out of hand, don't they?
35:53I mean, I've seen it.
35:54I've seen too much of it.
35:55But, you know, I've also seen men like you, good men like you, have their lives absolutely ripped to shreds.
36:02When it's not their fault.
36:08That's not my fault.
36:11We need to talk about this at the station because I know that you're going to want to explain this
36:15to them too.
36:16No, I can't.
36:17I can't do that.
36:18I understand that this is very scary.
36:20But you have my word you are going to be looked after.
36:27I'm not ready.
36:29Listen to me.
36:30I'm not ready.
36:30Rory, you might even find it a relief just to tell the truth just the way you have with me.
36:36That's a brave thing to do.
36:38And you are a brave man.
36:41And it is the right thing to do for Sarah.
36:48Sarah?
36:48For Sarah.
36:54And do you know what would be good?
36:55What would be a good way to tell your story at the station?
36:58Is if there was, if there was some way we could prove that you didn't have any kind of problem
37:03with Sarah, personally.
37:08I didn't.
37:09I know.
37:09I loved her.
37:10I can see you loved her very, very much.
37:12But if we are going to show that, it would be good if we could find some sort of way
37:15to prove that you were close.
37:24Proving.
37:25How do we do that?
37:35Hold on.
37:36Hold on.
37:42Here.
37:46They have photos.
37:51Yeah, I could bring these.
37:56This is my first year as a teacher here.
38:01And this is us at the pub laughing.
38:07And that's me and Sarah together.
38:13That's us.
38:14I could show you all these.
38:21It's a good plan.
38:28I'm really sorry.
38:30I'm really sorry.
38:33Thanks.

42:22Not long after your mum and I met, she invited me to a concert in Edinburgh.
42:34This is a recording of that concert.
42:40I've been listening to it the last couple of weeks.
43:01It's beautiful.
43:02Yeah.
43:06Yes, I always thought so.
43:13And afterwards we went for a drink.
43:17And your mum said she thought we were at the start of something.
43:27She said she thought life was about to change.
43:33And she was right.
43:38I could feel it.
43:45Was that exciting?
43:49I was terrified.
43:56Because I didn't know what was going to happen next.
44:03I always get frightened when I don't know what's going to happen.
44:29The cellist.
44:31The cellist.
44:36That's your mum.
44:44Bye.
44:50Bye.
44:52Bye.
44:53Bye.
45:03Bye.

45:21The full report on the Tina handbag.
45:24The database searches, the forensics.
45:27There's so much new stuff in here, honey.
45:29Very excited about where we're going to take this next.
45:33Go on.
45:37Come on.
45:45This is a long and complicated case, this one, Greg.
45:47You're telling me.
45:49This stuff might help, might not, but...
45:55But we won't be doing anything next.
45:58What?
45:59Me and you.
46:00Not on the Tina Bradley case.
46:02Not on anything.
