00:03Did you kill your wife, Michael?
00:06No, I did not.
00:07Stay with us, just for tonight.
00:09No, I need to be here for Dad.
00:10The governors are all agreed.
00:12A suspension is a pause.
00:13There needn't be any negative connotation to that.
00:15I know you'll have looked through her phone records
00:18and seen how much we spoke.
00:19His name is Steven Sedgwick.
00:21He's a dad at the school.
00:22He was having an affair with Sarah.
00:23Dylan's dad's been arrested, sir.
00:25For murder.
00:26It's a case you're working on at school.
00:28It does still mean you'll be working on Tina.
00:30What did I promise you in 2004?
00:32That you'd find a bastard you didn't.
00:34What have you got in your pocket?
00:35Diary pages from Mum's file of facts.
00:37What are you gonna do about them?
00:39Burn them.
01:04Like, I want you to find a movie.
01:05Help us, Sherry,…
01:05Where are you?!
01:11You cuz I know she's done with me
01:40At least we still love each other, right?
01:49We're gonna go to Nan and Grandas just for a few nights to make sure they're okay.
02:00Yeah, that's a good idea.
02:17He knew about the affair.
02:20Makes this big song and dance about not knowing anything, but he knew about the affair.
02:23Yeah, he's gone around to do something about it. He's clearly agitated, isn't he? Don't you think?
02:33If he lied to us about the affair, what else has he lied about?
02:41There's a chance that Sarah might not have been killed until as late as the Thursday.
02:47So the rugby match didn't help him?
02:48No. Which means his alibi's gone.
02:50Which means his alibi's gone.
02:52We need to bring him in and see what else he's hiding.
02:55Where's Ivan?
02:56Call on the CPS so we can charge Stephen Satcher.
02:59Yes, but where?
02:59There's plenty of corroboration.
03:01And the forensics will be at the cottage, first thing.
03:05I know we don't judge a bug by its cover, but...
03:07Wait.
03:08Can I just call you back?
03:10If you worry.
03:10.
03:48Now, I want you to know, whatever happens, this is a safe place.
03:53Um, what do you mean?
03:55It means you can come here, shut everything away.
03:59Everyone needs a place like that, don't they?
04:01What do you mean, safe?
04:03Oh, it's just...
04:04Just what your mum used to call it.
04:08It's just to call it our safe place.
04:12Right, I'm going to leave the landing light on, just so you don't wake up and forget where you are.
04:19Okay?
04:20Yeah.
04:36Okay.
04:37Okay.
04:38Okay.
04:45Okay.
04:53Okay.
05:22PHONE RINGS
05:25Michael Polley has been suspended and Alana Polley is still on compassionate leave.
05:35The other update is that the police are wanting to talk to you all individually.
05:41I've said I'm sure that won't be a problem for any of us given...
05:50Well, given what's happened.
05:52The message is we are cooperating in every way possible while continuing the timetable.
05:57Yes.
06:00Can we all please, let's just, let's please try not to take this back to our respective classrooms.
06:07All right, thank you everybody.
06:12Michael, I would like to make the following statement.
06:16While he has of course been willing and happy to answer all of your questions,
06:20Mr Polley now believes he has stated more than once that there is nothing more substantial he can add,
06:25either in helping you find the person responsible for the death of his wife,
06:28or in terms of explaining his own whereabouts and actions during that time.
06:33As such, he will not be answering any more of your questions.
06:39Is that right, Michael?
06:42Why, when we asked you if there was anything else we should know,
06:45did you fail to mention your wife's affair with Stephen Sedgwick?
06:50Or the fact that you visited his property on the night she went missing?
06:56And you chose not to tell us?
06:59Michael?
07:04Would you like me to read the statement out again?
07:06Or did you hear it the first time?
07:14He's definitely hiding something, but that is not footage of a man committing a crime.
07:19Or even at a crime scene.
07:21Or, thinking about it, even anywhere near the victim of the crime.
07:24To be honest, I'm not sure it gives us anything.
07:26And Polly knows it.
07:27It shows us he lied, it shows us he gets angry,
07:29it shows motive.
07:30No, but it's not evidence.
07:31No, but it helps, that's how it works.
07:32We get there in stages.
07:33If it were me, I'd be working that timeline.
07:36Where were Michael Polly and Stephen Sedgwick
07:39during the three-day period
07:41between the last sighting of Sarah Polly
07:43and her body being found?
07:45They are our two most credible suspects,
07:47but we can't hold either of them without more evidence.
07:51We have to release them.
07:54So, let's get surveillance on Sedgwick's house as well.
08:01Boss?
08:03Look, I don't know if you know,
08:04but I was actually the first person on this case originally.
08:07I'm just wondering if there's any way I can go back
08:09to doing a bit more of that investigative work.
08:11You're the FLO.
08:12Alongside being the FLO.
08:13Annie, that's the job you've been given.
08:15And I like it.
08:16I really...
08:16So keep doing it, please.
08:17Let the team focus on Michael Polly and Stephen Sedgwick
08:20and don't go over Ivan's head.
08:22No.
08:23That's the end of the conversation.
08:36For Ivan, he's a decent enough guy.
08:38I've worked with him.
08:39You're a threat.
08:41Oh, please.
08:42We have two good suspects
08:43and I feel like I can't be effective.
08:47Come on.
08:48You could be the person who solves
08:49two of Bristol's highest profile cases.
08:52I don't feel like I'm solving anything at the moment.
08:54Well, don't speak too soon.
08:56Said I'd look into the Tina files
08:58and I did.
09:00It was a handbag found, wasn't it?
09:02Yeah.
09:03Her handbag.
09:04Not far from the club.
09:06Your silver bag?
09:06Well, I have a mate in FRC
09:08and he has offered to do a forensic review.
09:12You would do that for me?
09:14Yeah.
09:16Tina.
09:17And Carol.
09:18That's the mum's name, isn't it?
09:20Yeah.
09:22I mean it.
09:26Here we go.
09:28Pasta for the lady.
09:30And pizza for the tramp.
09:38I've been thinking about this situation with Michael.
09:40Yeah?
09:42Mmm.
09:43If he's not saying anything
09:44then technically as FLO
09:46I've got the best job there is, haven't I?
09:49I'm right in there with the suspect.
09:51I could interview him.
09:53Without him knowing?
09:53Yeah.
09:54That's what I mean, yeah.
09:55You'd be brilliant at that.
09:57But be careful.
09:59You don't know what he's capable of.
10:00I don't know what he's capable of.
10:02I don't know what he's capable of.
10:04I don't know what he's capable of.
10:06I don't know what he's capable of.
10:09I don't know what he's capable of.
10:11I don't know what he's capable of.
10:13I don't know what he's capable of.
10:15I don't know what he's capable of.
10:17I don't know what he's capable of.
10:17I don't know what he's capable of.
10:18I don't know what he's capable of.
10:18I don't know what he's capable of.
10:19I don't know what he's capable of.
10:19I don't know what he's capable of.
10:19I don't know what he's capable of.
10:19I don't know what he's capable of.
10:24I don't know what he's capable of.
10:28I don't know what he's capable of.
10:53Allana not here?
10:54She's gone to her grandparents.
11:00They'll be wanting to look after her.
11:02No, she wants to look after them.
11:04She's lost her mother, but they've lost their daughter.
11:06So she wants to be there for them.
11:08That's the type of young woman she is.
11:16Sedgwick's neighbor has CCTV cameras on his house.
11:19That's how they knew you were there, Michael.
11:21That's why they arrested you.
11:22It's not like they had any choice.
11:24And for what it's worth...
11:25Mel?
11:26Yes, please.
11:27And for what it's worth, even though I could see
11:29how agitated you were.
11:30I thought you might have been after him, not her.
11:36I wasn't after anyone.
11:41You can't say that, Michael.
11:47No.
11:54You can say you didn't hurt Sarah, and you can refuse to answer any more questions.
11:59But you can't just shrug that off like it's normal behavior, Michael.
12:03Prowling around somebody's house like that in the middle of the night.
12:05I'm sorry, Mel.
12:07He was having an affair with my wife, and she'd gone missing.
12:11So I thought that's where she might be.
12:14And that makes sense, but...
12:15So did you see me talk to anybody when I was there?
12:17On this CCTV, you've seen it, yeah?
12:19Yeah.
12:20So did you see me confront anyone?
12:23Or knock on the door?
12:28Well, then.
12:31Well, then.
12:34You say, well, then, like that's all there is to it.
12:37That is all there is to it.
12:39So why didn't you tell us about this affair when we first met, Michael?
12:43You know, if you can sit there and be some matter-of-fact about it...
12:49Why not be like that then?
12:51Because I'm...
12:52It obviously hurt you, Michael.
12:54I saw you crying.
12:55That was not to do with the affair.
13:01That was because she was gone.
13:04I see.
13:04That was not to do with the affair.
13:06I apologize, I'm sorry.
13:21But the question still stands, Michael.
13:23Why didn't you tell us about this affair?
13:28Because people don't expect that of people like Sarah and I.
13:32You know, um...
13:35People in our position.
13:36It's not easy for anyone, is it?
13:38That's not good enough.
13:47Because I knew and I didn't want to know.
13:52And because...
13:55It wasn't easy to talk about, that's all.
14:00And it's easier now, is it?
14:02With me?
14:19Charlie X-Ray 655, suspect has returned from the office.
14:23Over.
14:24Charlie X-Ray 655, suspect has returned from the office.
14:24I don't know.
14:28So...
14:30It's...
14:53It was easy to talk about my room.
15:09it's not true i want you both to hear that from me what's not true i think you both know
15:15what i'm
15:15talking about why don't you tell us don't talk to him like that like what in that voice it's a
15:23perfectly normal question to ask what's not true there was something between me and sarah polly
15:34it's all over socials that you killed her
15:39it's all your fault and it's literally all being taken out on me
16:10at the meeting we agreed i'll take a week off work
16:31whatever you might think of me or think i might have done i know what you said let me just
16:37say
16:37what i have to say claire and then you can speak and i won't interrupt you okay
16:46whatever you might be thinking let's try and both remember what's most important thing here
16:54that's the kids
16:56you said yourself dylan's schoolwork is suffering and
17:02freya's tests are full on so i must be here i'm just trying to make my point
17:06here baby and then and then like i said i'll be a good listener for you
17:14so the less arguing and stress they feel
17:18the better chances they have i know we both agree on that
17:31police are going to ask you to help confirm my
17:33i'm just so nearly done claire please i'm so nearly done
17:38you know i didn't kill her the police are going to ask you to help confirm my whereabouts
17:43around the time sarah polly went missing if i wasn't at work then where was i
17:49the answer is i was here in here watching tv with you whatever we were watching
17:53one of your programs that's all you have to tell me
17:57and then all this goes away
18:02for dylan and for freya
18:06okay
18:12before we have our proper chat i
18:15i really need to grab a shower these past few days
18:19i just want to wash them away
18:20okay
18:21okay
18:22okay
18:22okay
18:36okay
18:51his son dylan is a special talent when it comes to the rugby i mean he struggles elsewhere
18:58academically but he's a rare talent on the rugby field i mean i don't tell him that
19:03obviously that's how you coach players but um it's a joy to watch
19:09and the fact that she chose his father or let his father choose her which other way around it was
19:22is a betrayal of our marriage of course but the damage it inflicts is on so much more it's on
19:28my
19:28family his family on the school on its reputation and this boy who can make so much of himself
19:35playing rugby who loves it so much you know he gets the worst of me because of what i know
19:42and i should be the best coach the best teacher he has i end up taking it out on him
19:49because of her betrayal you know it's cruel it's vindictive and i um
19:58well i let myself down that's all
20:08how did you let yourself down
20:11in the weeks leading up to her going missing i
20:16i was angry
20:19and
20:22i did things that i will never forgive myself for
20:40did you notice anything unusual or strange about michael or sarah in the run-up to her
20:45disappearance anything at all
20:48i'd see her going off on walks on her own
20:51where she was going i've no idea i just want the rumors to stop
20:55what rumors are those that he that he killed her i've not heard that myself
21:00not only is it not sunk in i just can't imagine a time when it will ever have sunk in
21:04would you be happy for us to have a look through your phone
21:08if you wouldn't mind
21:10would you hand over your phone so we can take a quick look
21:12i will need that back at some stage
21:16what was your relationship with sarah like
21:19she was friendly
21:20it got on perfectly well
21:21she did the choir
21:23and then there was the book club
21:25there was no book club
21:26i wasn't invited to that
21:28we scrapped it because we couldn't get enough people
21:32not enough good people anyway but um that's fine
21:35i think she wanted to escape
21:37she was having an affair
21:38i saw her by the art room
21:41and i would see her sometimes when i saw lana
21:43you can feel it
21:45it's as if they want it to be him
21:47you can see it on some of their faces
21:49but he called her
21:50he
21:51michael
21:52as soon as he knew she was missing he called her
21:54i was dropped at the front door as an eight year old and i've barely been away
21:57so trust me when i tell you it's better now under his leadership than it's ever been
22:01well it hasn't got the best reputation
22:03does that mean i always agree with him
22:05seven teachers refused to work here
22:06he had his fallouts with the parents
22:08yes
22:10do i think he has it in him to kill sarah
22:12michael polly
22:16is a wonderful man
22:17but someone's got to have done it haven't they
22:19i can only go on what i know of the man
22:21and so i'd have to say
22:23no way
22:23no
22:24even though i dislike him
22:25i would say the same for steven cedric
22:30thank you for that

24:04like i said
24:05we will make arrests
24:06and continue to make arrests
24:08wherever we see it as helpful to the investigation
24:10these are two such examples
24:11is that not just a scattergun approach
24:14i'm not quite sure you can describe two of anything as scattergun
24:17what they are is necessary
24:19if they were both men in the 50s
24:20would it be safe to say they're parents at the school
24:22i'm not going to comment on that
24:24but we're then on to the victim
24:25i'm not going to comment on that either
24:26the conversations with both the men have moved the inquiry forward
24:29and both men
24:30both men have been released without charge
24:32are you looking at any other stuff there
24:33that is all
24:34thank you
24:36detective
24:37detective
24:37detective
24:37detective
24:42police fending off a seemingly endless list of questions this morning
24:46what they are is necessary
24:48anger
24:49are what many people deem to be a distinct lack of progress
24:53yes but were they known by the victim
24:55i'm not going to comment on that either but converse
24:57i don't know what's worse
24:59whether it was known to her or a stranger
25:22new exercise
25:24so
25:26so spare me the dirty look
25:30you're the one with the dirty look
26:00jolly x-ray 655
26:02the suspect moving off over the police is still watching case didn't know they're not hiding the
26:09fact dinner they want us to know they're interested in your dad as if when you're fucking reminding
26:22sorry
26:27he wants me to go to the police and tell him the times he was here you better not be
26:31helping him
26:33i've seen him acting all nice and i know what he's up to they wouldn't have just arrested him not
26:38without a reason get your stuff i'll take you to training
27:11come on michael talk to
27:25you've arrested stephen sedwick
27:29two men arrested i was one of them i presume he's the other one
27:34i can't tell you that a man in his 50s you know i can't tell you that but you've let
27:38him go
27:42the other man who was arrested has been released without charges is that because you don't think
27:46he was responsible or you do think he was responsible but you can't prove it and has
27:49he denied it this other man denied strangling my wife
27:56and did he blame me who told you she was strangled
27:59very dear i mean i would have done that if i was him who told you she was strangled
28:14i'm sorry
28:26alana hasn't gone to her grandparents to help them
28:33she's gone to get away from me
28:44sarah's death is my fault
28:52michael whatever it is you needed to say
28:56say it
28:59it's just you and i michael it's just between you and i
29:07i wasn't the husband she deserved well maybe at first but it hadn't been working for a long time so
29:14she found someone else someone who could give her what she needed
29:22i'm sure she didn't think of it like that the affair was my fault how is it your fault
29:29but she went to him yeah that's what i mean
29:34because i wasn't enough it wasn't working i wasn't what she needed but she cheated on you
29:40yeah that's her fault michael you can't go blaming yourself for that not when someone cheats
30:02she went looking for what she didn't have michael the affair was my fault
30:09the affair that was just a symptom we mustn't see it like that because that's what affairs always
30:15are
30:17and i i couldn't confront her about it even though i knew
30:23what do you mean michael because confronting sets things in motion
30:30and you have to talk about why it happened and that causes fights and divorce and damages reputations
30:38and it all comes out and i couldn't
30:44i couldn't do that because i was ashamed and i'll never forgive myself for that
30:52when you look on that cctv do you see a man who's going to fight for his wife
30:57you see a man who wants to but
31:03in the end he just walks away and gets into his car
31:41the pathologist at the mortuary
31:46when i asked about the marks on sarah's neck they said they thought she'd been strangled
31:53so that's how i knew
32:02uh yeah no problem follow me thank you just back there for you sir um i'll just grab you a
32:06couple of
32:06menu that's great thank you cheers
32:14hey babe it's me uh just ringing to say i got our usual table so hopefully i will see you
32:21shortly
32:25there we go sir thank you did you want me to give you a few minutes pop back when she's
32:31arrived
32:32i would love you to pop back in a few minutes okay no problem okay i'll give you a second
32:37of a look
32:46we are far less convinced that sarah polly was in wales on the day she went missing
32:53steven sedgwick we know was in possession of her debit card a cctv on the bridge shows he drove to
32:59wales alone no sign of anyone else in the car on the way there or the way back we're checking
33:06a npr
33:06again and more cctv and ring doorbells to close the gaps on his timeline across those three days
33:11so we're eliminating him not quite he still needs an alibi for some of the evenings of that week
33:16as we know michael polly still has some gaps in his timeline annie if you could ask him for those
33:24direct becky if you could speak to alana and get her to corroborate please as for the comps with
33:29other murders i would like everyone to be familiar with the fine details so that we can
33:33cross-reference until both men can account for every second of those three days we're not ruling
33:38them out this is going to be a late one folks okay thank you
33:53jesus christ
34:03is this you uh trying to get back at me or something are we playing games again already
34:16what are you looking at mind your own business
34:42it's okay he'll just want what's right for sarah
34:48the police asked if there's anything else i could think of that might help in terms of sarah
34:52michael people closer they asked me the same thing they asked us all i said there was nothing
35:01yeah that wasn't quite true last term as i was coming past the pitches on abby's side i saw polly
35:07behind the pavilion in a fight with one of the boys with james bowery fighters in handbags like
35:14grabbing and shoving or it was a bit more than that and then he saw me and bear in mind
35:18we go a long way
35:19back and he he stopped and then i went to see him later and explained i'd have to report it
35:25but
35:26he did a number on me he'd help me overcome a complaint about how i was managing my department this
35:32was before covid and an email from one of the parents who thought we'd let her son down and
35:37michael said he'd refer everything upwards hang rory out to dry if he did anything about it
35:42said bowery didn't care anyway yeah probably wouldn't uh not that that's the point just
35:46no this wasn't just handbags as you call it it was violent abuse
35:53he almost came for me the other day on that robbie pitch but uh i just put it down to
36:01the fact that
36:02he was grieving
36:08so do we mention it or do we keep this amongst us because we think that's out of character
36:11that's out of character
36:18come on mate mate mate mate what are you getting changed for
36:28what why are you getting changed what do you think oh there's no need to do any training nobody
36:33wants you on the team anyway what are you gonna do get your dad to kill me he'll probably get
36:40his dad's
36:54shiky
36:54now steven's colleagues can account for his whereabouts during the day
36:58but we need to confirm that when he came home he was in all night if you need to know
37:03where people
37:03were that week then steven was here every night after work he came home
37:11you haven't been pressured into saying that have you
37:17he's lent on you i'm not saying it for him i'm saying it for the kids because it's true
37:31steven's guilty of many things but he can't have killed sarah polly
