00:08You
00:51That's it, it's over.
01:09That's it, it's over.
01:30That's it, it's over.
01:53It's over.
01:54I've never seen him.
01:56I've never seen him.
03:20We've got an ID?
03:22Yeah, we've just found her back.
03:24Elizabeth Swann, mid-40s.
03:26Teacher.
03:27She was wearing a wedding ring, so presumably married.
03:32Looks like she fell down then.
03:35Fell?
03:36Or was she pushed?
03:38Well, steps are steep.
03:40Been raining nonstop.
03:41They'd have been slippy.
03:53Well, you wasn't joking when you said it was slippy.
04:01That Mr. Cheerful loved all that rain.
04:07Well, I hope you can give us something useful, Malcolm.
04:11Not just excuses.
04:13You do realize the rain will have washed away most of the forensic evidence, don't you?
04:16Oh, well, I wouldn't have thought you'd let a bit of bad weather put you off bed.
04:21She's been dead 12 to 18 hours, sometime between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. yesterday.
04:26Can you tell us how she died?
04:28Well, the marks on her face suggest to me that it was face down for a start.
04:35So, are you saying somebody turned her over?
04:38If I knew that right now, I would have told you, wouldn't I?
04:43She has considerable bruising.
04:45Her hands show significant signs of injury.
04:47She was obviously trying to protect herself as she fell.
04:51But as yet, I haven't determined the precise cause of death.
04:54Can you tell if she was pushed?
04:57Not yet. I should be able to establish that when I get to examine her more closely in the lab.
05:01Was there any forensic evidence at all?
05:04After 16 hours of rain and false hate gales...
05:07Oh, all right, Malcolm. We all know there was a storm.
05:23Private, isn't it?
05:28No-one would know you were here.
05:33Right, come on.
05:35Do we have an address for the family?
05:37Yeah, mate, it's a farm just outside of Brignall.
05:48Elizabeth Swann was a deputy head at Wellstead Academy, which is about three miles away from where she was found.
05:54So what was a teacher doing taking a long walk at 11am on a school day?
06:01Hmm?
06:03How was her?
06:29Hmm?
06:39Go on after him.
06:40What?
06:41You like running.
06:42Go on.
07:14Hello?
07:17What do you want?
07:19I'm sorry, love.
07:21DCI, Vera, Stanhope, Northumberland and City Police.
07:25I'm here about Elizabeth Swan.
07:28What's happened?
07:30Do you need Phil?
07:31Phil, is that her husband?
07:33He's my son.
07:36Well then, Mrs. Swan, I'm afraid I have bad news.
07:43The kids love her.
07:45They'll be devastated.
07:47Couldn't move for chocolate at the end of term.
07:53Your son was in the army?
07:56That's where he met Lizzie.
07:59She was teaching at the forces school.
08:01When did he leave?
08:03About seven years ago.
08:05He got injured.
08:06What's happened?
08:07Did she fall?
08:08Phil.
08:09Uh, DCI, Stanhope, I am so sorry about your wife, Mr. Swan.
08:14We don't know exactly what happened, but we do believe she might not have been alone.
08:22Someone pushed her.
08:23No, I'm not saying that.
08:25No, I'm not saying that.
08:25It could have been an accident.
08:27We're looking at all possibilities.
08:34Well, what did you think when she didn't come home yesterday?
08:39What?
08:40Yesterday.
08:42She died yesterday.
08:47Neither of you noticed.
08:50It's just me and Phil.
08:53We were flat out.
08:56You didn't notice, Mr. Swan?
09:00I'm in the spare room.
09:02I'm usually asleep by the time she comes home.
09:05It's easier.
09:08So she was alone all night.
09:15Now, can you think of anyone at all who might have wanted to hurt her?
09:21No.
09:22No.
09:23Not everybody loved her.
09:26And is it significant where she was found?
09:29Wollstone Point?
09:30I don't know.
09:33She used to like to go for a run before school.
09:37You know, she'd go there and back.
09:39She wouldn't have been running.
09:42She had a call.
09:45A call?
09:47Do you recognize this key ring, Mrs. Swan?
09:53This is Liz's.
09:55Car keys, I'm missing.
09:58I need to tell the girls.
10:00The girls?
10:02My daughters.
10:03They're in Newcastle.
10:05Turns a living nanny there.
10:09Zara's been staying with us since Saturday.
10:11Well, we can send a car to pick them up.
10:14You don't tell them.
10:17I need to tell them.
10:21We need to be together.
10:22Excuse me.
10:27Now, is it all right if I take a look upstairs, but...
10:58You don't know.
11:10The car's not been seen.
11:13What do you mean of them not sleeping together?
11:16Well, it makes sense if you need to sleep.
11:18His clothes are still here.
11:22Well, I'll get forensics under that laptop.
11:34Oh, my God.
11:46Girls.
11:48Come to me.
11:50Let's just leave you to it.
11:53Oh, Dad.
11:54No.
12:14I can't take it in.
12:17Poor Lizzie.
12:19Were you close?
12:20She was one of my best friends.
12:22You met at our last school and came here to turn it round.
12:25And she was...
12:27She was amazing.
12:28Her family must be devastated.
12:31I had no idea she was suicidal.
12:34Suicidal?
12:35I...
12:37I just...
12:40You said she was found at the bottom of Wellstead Point.
12:43With her suspension, I...
12:45Oh, she'd been suspended?
12:50When did that happen?
12:52Three days ago.
12:53Monday.
12:55Did someone do this to her?
12:57Yeah, why would you ask that?
12:59There had been an issue.
13:01What sort of issue?
13:02She suspected one of the parents of hurting their child.
13:05I was away.
13:07Lizzie reported it last Friday to social services.
13:10They started an investigation over the weekend.
13:13It sounds like she was just doing the job.
13:15Not exactly.
13:17The father came in on Monday.
13:19He was...
13:20furious, livid.
13:22After he left, I spoke to Lizzie.
13:23She hadn't been accurate with what she had said to social services.
13:27How do you mean?
13:29She misrepresented what the child had said.
13:31And taken no written records.
13:33So you suspended her?
13:35Yes.
13:37Why was she so hasty?
13:39Because she was worried about Omar.
13:42She said she didn't care.
13:44She'd done it the wrong way.
13:46But she had to do something.
13:48Well, I think you'd better give us this dad's name, love.
13:53If you wait five minutes, you can meet him.
13:58Mr. Hassan?
13:59Yes?
14:00We're from Northumberland City Police.
14:02Can we have a word?
14:05Uh...
14:06So you go, go, go with me.
14:07Come with me.
14:08We're here to investigate the death of Elizabeth Swan.
14:11The death?
14:13That's horrible.
14:14We hear the two of you had words at the start of this week.
14:17I feel terrible about that now.
14:20Um, I was upset about Omar.
14:22I don't blame Mrs. Swan, she was just doing her job.
14:26When did you last see her?
14:27Not since Monday.
14:30Listen, I need to take Omar somewhere.
14:32Um, I promise I'll take him straight off to school.
14:34And where would that be?
14:36To his mum's grave to lay some ploughs.
14:39Oh, I'm sorry about that, love.
14:44Well, we won't stop you.
14:46But, er, we will be in touch.
14:50That's the wrong one.
14:51I am sorry about Mrs. Swan.
14:58The body of Elizabeth Swan, known as Lizzie, age 42,
15:03a much-loved teacher,
15:05was found at the foot of Wellstead Point yesterday.
15:08It's thought she'd been there approximately 18 hours.
15:12Now, her bag was found some 30 metres away on the rocks,
15:17and it appears the contents are present and correct,
15:21with the exception of her car key,
15:23and we've yet to locate her car.
15:25Now, she hadn't been reported missing
15:28because her husband and mother-in-law
15:30were working all hours flat out on the farm,
15:33and hadn't noticed her failure to return home,
15:36and her workmates knew she'd been suspended
15:39for instigating a child protection case
15:42without following the correct procedure.
15:44Now, the child concerned is a lad called Omar Hassan.
15:47His father, Mohammed Hassan,
15:49he was absolutely livid at the accusation.
15:52He turned up at the school to complain on Monday.
15:55Yeah, and we should check
15:56to see if there's any truth in the accusation.
16:00Jack, get on to social services,
16:02see what you can find out.
16:03All right, ma'am.
16:04Now, we know there was someone else at the scene
16:07because her body had been turned over
16:10and unlikely to have been by the dog walker who found her.
16:16Mark, how are you doing tracing her car?
16:19No sign of it.
16:20It's not shown up on any ANPR in the last 36 hours.
16:23It's just disappeared.
16:25Yeah, well, I doubt the magician's involved.
16:28See if this helps.
16:30It's a car park ticket found in her bedroom.
16:33It's from Monday.
16:35I'll look into it, Mum.
16:36Aye, good lad.
16:37Now, Kenny, is there anything in the family background
16:40we should know about?
16:41Clean as a whistle.
16:43Phil Swan was pensioned out of the army seven years ago
16:47due to an injury caused by an IED explosion in Afghanistan.
16:52And they gave him a ribbon.
16:54And he came back to run the family farm seven years ago.
16:58Bad luck seems to have a habit of following him.
17:00I ran some checks.
17:01A year ago, his brother Ryan died in a car crash
17:04and Phil's daughter Zara was also badly injured in it.
17:07Oh, a poor family, isn't this?
17:11I mean, it's hard enough coming back from one tragedy.
17:16Like, you'd think you'd notice
17:19if your wife didn't come home at night, wouldn't you?
17:22Now, if she wasn't going to school, where was she going?
17:26Hmm?
17:27Mark, find out.
17:29I want her movements for the last couple of weeks.
17:32Kenny, check her bank records and phone records.
17:35Jack, get on to forensics.
17:36Have they picked up her laptop?
17:38Is that Malcolm?
17:39Yeah, he's ready for us.
17:41Right.
17:43Malcolm.
17:46What have you got?
17:47Right, well, I've got a fairly good idea about what happened.
17:50Well, I don't like the sound of fairly.
17:52Well, you can blame the rain for that.
17:55So, we found scuff marks which matched her shoes on these steps here.
18:00So, she was pushed?
18:03Pulled.
18:04I think she was climbing the steps when someone grabbed her bag from behind,
18:07and we've got significant corroborative bruising here.
18:12I think they pulled the bag so hard that the buckle broke off,
18:15leaving the corresponding abrasion here.
18:19The next injury she sustained was a severe trauma to the skull there.
18:25What's she hit?
18:26No, I think the impact of the bag breaking swung her backwards.
18:30She hit her head against the wall where we found fragments of her hair.
18:36Most of the other injuries she sustained are consistent with her falling down the steps,
18:41but there are these bruises here and also on the other arm.
18:47Well, it looks like someone grabbed hold of her.
18:51You should be a detective.
18:56So, someone got hold of her.
18:58And there was a tussle.
18:59And deliberately pulled her so that she fell over backwards.
19:05Well, whatever happened, they left her for dead.
19:11Malcolm?
19:12Yes?
19:13Is that an older bruise on her wrist?
19:17Well spotted, yes, from a few days ago.
19:18Possibly a week.
19:19We've run some tests, just waiting for the results.
19:22Well, let's have those results ASAP.
19:26So what actually killed her?
19:28She died from a broken neck.
19:30It would have been instantaneous the moment she reached the bottom.
19:34No later than 1.30pm.
19:36So that's between 11.50 and then 1.30.
19:39Right, well that narrows it down.
19:42Thanks, Malcolm.
19:43You know me, I aim to please.
19:45No one likes a show-off, love.
19:55Joe, what clown's left of that there?
19:58Oh.
20:08This your vehicle, sir?
20:09I wouldn't go out to the farm right now.
20:12They've had some bad news.
20:14You were with Phil in the army.
20:18North Omelden City, please.
20:20We're in the same squad.
20:22We're in a school together too.
20:23Macca.
20:24Sorry, Jamie McCarthy.
20:26So you've heard what's happened.
20:29Came to see Phil as soon as I heard.
20:32I can't believe anyone would do that to Lizzie.
20:34It's just...
20:36Do what, Mr McCarthy?
20:38Well, I don't know.
20:40I just fought with all the police.
20:42Ah, gotcha.
20:44Were you close to the deceased?
20:47Close to the whole family, because of Phil.
20:50You work for Phil too?
20:51No, no.
20:52Just run the barn off of him.
20:53More of a favour, really.
20:55Checking to see if it was still dry after the storm.
20:57There was some rain, eh?
20:59Can you shift your motor?
21:00Of course.
21:01Sorry.
21:02If I can do anything to help, just...
21:04let me know.
21:17They're barely keeping it together.
21:19That explains why they're renting the barn out.
21:22That's enough, Rose.
21:24She's not been dead two minutes.
21:26Just drop it!
21:30Rose.
21:32This is the police.
21:33They're finding out what happened to Lizzie.
21:37And you all?
21:39Lizzie's sister-in-law.
21:41I was.
21:42Rose Swan.
21:44Phil's brother's wife.
21:46Ryan.
21:48We're just sort of Phil's mate down the lane.
21:51Maga?
21:53Can you tell us about Lizzie's movements over the last week?
21:57Same as normal.
21:59Lizzie did long hours at the school.
22:02Mm.
22:02So what did she do at the weekend?
22:04She was at home all day Saturday.
22:07On Sunday, we all went to Ryan's memorial in Brignall.
22:12Who else was at the memorial?
22:13Lizzie, Phil, Maura and me.
22:16A few men from work.
22:18Were your nieces not there?
22:21Zara and Fern?
22:22They were too busy.
22:24Are they still around?
22:26I just started milking.
22:29You need to get her back.
22:32I just think Dad might need us, you know?
22:35But you've got work.
22:37I can stay.
22:39Hello?
22:45I'm DCI, stand up.
22:47I'm heading the investigation about your ma'am.
22:52Don't tell my dad, will you?
22:53No.
22:54About the cigarette.
22:55Well, I think he's got bigger things to worry about, pet.
22:59How are you both doing?
23:02It doesn't feel right.
23:04Being here without a ma'am.
23:08Dad said you think someone did this to her.
23:10Oh, I'm looking at all explanations, love.
23:15Now, I've just seen your auntie Rose.
23:18That why you're hiding round here?
23:22She can get a bit...intense.
23:26She told us neither of you went to Uncle Ryan's memorial on Sunday.
23:32Why's that?
23:34Zara's been with me since Saturday.
23:36I picked her up from here, took her back to Newcastle to stay with me.
23:40Oh, you're the living nanny.
23:42Been there for two years.
23:45They're like family.
23:46The house is huge and the kids love having Zara there.
23:50And she needed to revise.
23:52Oh, A-levels?
23:54Four.
23:55She's got an offer to study law at Durham.
23:57Seems so trivial, Nell.
23:59Ah, nip it. That's not trivial.
24:02No.
24:03Hey, Mum didn't think so.
24:05She was very proud.
24:07So, was that the last time you saw your mum on Saturday?
24:13How'd she seem?
24:15Quiet.
24:17I said she'd miss me.
24:20Just, er, just like normal.
24:23You know, Justin Hampton.
24:30She mentioned school at all.
24:37Well, I need to talk to your dad. Where can I find him?
24:40Er, in the top field. I'll take you up. It's okay. I'll go.
24:44Oh, no, not if it's tricky, love.
24:46It's fine.
24:48I need to keep moving.
24:53Oh, look at this lot.
24:56My mum always wanted a cow.
25:00Are you okay, pet?
25:03Just when, just...
25:05Is that from the accident?
25:07Yeah.
25:10Er, is that why you and Fern didn't go to the memorial?
25:16Er, your Aunt Rose said you were busy.
25:19Got to get two A's in any store for uni.
25:22I'm always busy.
25:25And how were things with you and your mum, hmm?
25:29Not easy being a teenager out here in the sticks?
25:33No.
25:35We've been having a few arguments.
25:37Last month had been a bit tricky.
25:41Needed some time out.
25:43Just feel so guilty.
25:45What were you arguing about?
25:47Just stuff.
25:49Anything.
25:50Everything.
25:52I miss her.
25:54We were close.
25:55Really close.
25:57Especially once Fern left.
26:00Well, here's your dad, so I'll take it from here, love.
26:05Now listen, we're doing everything we can
26:08to find out what happened to your mum, hmm?
26:17What's happened?
26:18What have you found?
26:19We found out she was suspended from school.
26:22On Monday.
26:24No.
26:24No, that's not why she's been going to school every day.
26:26Well, not been in school since quarter to ten Monday morning.
26:30So how did she get suspended?
26:32She was a bit hasty in reporting her child protection case
26:36to social services, causing problems.
26:40So how were things at home, besides being busy?
26:45I mean, Zara said she and her mam were arguing a lot.
26:49Well, she's a teenager.
26:50Comes with her territory.
26:52I mean, it was intense.
26:54They both needed some breathing space,
26:56so I suggested Zara go and stay with her sister.
26:58Yeah, what were they arguing about?
27:00I know Zara has academic pressures.
27:04It wasn't that.
27:06Lizzie wasn't keen on her boyfriend,
27:08and I can't say I was his biggest fan either.
27:11Ooh.
27:12He's too old for her.
27:14They're both on very different paths.
27:16Now, it'll burn out, but if we tried to break it up,
27:19it'd only make him stronger.
27:20So you thought you'd give Zara some breathing space from him too?
27:29Thanks, love.
27:40Is that Zara's boyfriend?
27:41Greg.
27:42He turned up not long after you left.
27:45Phil said Lizzie wasn't keen on him.
27:48Well, neither are Moira and Rose.
27:51Moira said it's family only.
27:52She made him wait outside until Zara showed up.
27:55Ah, well, he is four years older.
27:57Well, three.
27:58She's nearly 18.
27:59Four?
28:00And you wouldn't be saying that if you had a daughter instead of a son?
28:02Well, he was keen to be helpful.
28:04Oh, that makes it okay, does it, if he's helpful?
28:07I'm just saying he answered all my questions.
28:18Now, come on.
28:20We need to establish what our victim was doing
28:23while she was suspended from school.
28:25Anything.
28:27Mark, what about that car?
28:29Still no signs since the day before she died,
28:32but that car park ticket you found was for Brignall.
28:35I'm checking the ANPR for the last couple of weeks.
28:37Right, get on with that.
28:39Ma'am.
28:40Have we heard back from social services?
28:42I've left four voicemails for Omar Hassan's social worker.
28:45Marty Kapp, not got through yet.
28:47Marty! Oh, she and I go way back.
28:49I'll call her.
28:51Kenny, did you do the background check on the lad's father?
28:54Yeah, Mohammed Hassan, Mo.
28:57He's a chef at a seaside diner in Brignall.
29:01And he's got a history.
29:03He got sacked seven years ago and he bricked his employer's window.
29:06So he has a temper.
29:08Well, that's good to know.
29:11Brignall, you say?
29:12Well, maybe she paid him a visit.
29:16Ma'am, I've found a social media group of parents at Liz's school.
29:20Mo posted some comments about Lizzy on a thread at the weekend.
29:23He warned parents to be careful of her.
29:26Said that she was a liar and should be sacked.
29:29They should accuse him of something that he didn't do.
29:31Oh, so much for his understanding act.
29:34Now, another user was stirring it.
29:35I believe in karma. Bad things come to bad people.
29:40Now, and he says maybe sometimes karma needs a helping hand.
29:46Well, if that's not a threat, I'll eat my hat.
29:55Ring donut and an iced finger?
29:58I am a cheap date.
30:01So, what do you want?
30:03Marty.
30:06I need an off-the-record chat.
30:09I want all the information you can give me on Omar Hassan and his dad.
30:14I don't want to go in half-cocked.
30:16You think Mo had something to do with Lizzy's death?
30:18I don't know. He said he didn't see her.
30:22But I know my victim was a teacher at his school and they had words at the beginning of the
30:27week.
30:28Well, Omar was late for school several times, often in dirty clothes.
30:32Lizzy sent a few emails concerned about neglect.
30:35So, he's been on your radar for a while?
30:38Lizzy reported he regularly came to school with bruises.
30:42When I spoke to her last week, she was agitated.
30:46Insisted we had to act. Convinced Omar was in real danger from his dad.
30:52Well, maybe she was right to be worried.
30:54At first, I thought Lizzy was just covering herself.
30:58But she got upset, angry, went really over the top.
31:02She knew when she reported it, we'd have to instigate a case.
31:05She was...on a mission.
31:09Well, she obviously felt strongly.
31:14What do you think of the fella?
31:16He's defensive, as you'd expect.
31:19When Omar loves him, but then victims often do.
31:22Hmm.
31:24The thing is, if Lizzy got her reporting wrong...
31:29The fella's innocent. He's done nothing wrong.
31:32Damned if you do.
31:33And damned if you do.
31:37Can you just hold on one sec?
31:39I'll let you know if I find anything else.
31:41Thanks, Morty.
31:43Why are you here?
31:45We said we'd be in touch.
31:49I had nothing to do with what happened with Mrs Swan.
31:51Then you won't mind us ruling you out of our enquiries.
31:55Where were you on Wednesday between 11.15am and 1.30pm?
31:59I took Omar to the hospital for some tests,
32:02dropped him back off at school at 11,
32:05and then came back here to work.
32:06When did you last see Mrs Swan?
32:09Monday morning, at school.
32:11She lied to them.
32:13Told them I'd hurt my son.
32:15I've been to social services, love.
32:19Look, you know, sometimes I'm not almost late for school,
32:21but that's because he doesn't finish his breakfast.
32:23And I'm not gonna send him out hungry.
32:26Clumsy lad.
32:28Just...
32:29bruises by just touching something, you know?
32:31Why didn't you get it checked out?
32:33I am.
32:34I've seen a consultant and they're doing tests.
32:36Well, maybe you should have taken him sooner.
32:44What did you mean by this?
32:47Sometimes karma needs a helping hand.
32:50I'm just shooting my mouth off.
32:53It doesn't mean I wanted to hurt her.
32:54I just threatened her online, eh?
32:57I didn't hurt Mrs Swan.
32:58And why would I do that and risk losing my son?
33:04I need to work.
33:05Please.
33:07Oh, well, I'm not stopping you.
33:16Doesn't help himself, does he?
33:23Why didn't you tell us you'd been pressured to suspend Lizzie?
33:28It was my decision.
33:29So what changed?
33:30I had to re-evaluate a few things.
33:32Ah, so you already had your own concerns about her?
33:35Lizzie had made a few decisions recently that were a bit...
33:38off.
33:39She wasn't herself.
33:40I saw Lizzie on Wednesday.
33:43She came round the back just after ten.
33:45Said she wanted to talk.
33:48I wouldn't let her in.
33:50I told her it wasn't appropriate for her to be here.
33:52You saw her the day she died, and you're only just telling us now.
33:56I know.
33:58I'm sorry.
34:00I just felt so...
34:02guilty.
34:03Because I turned her away.
34:05You said she'd been...
34:07off.
34:09Over the last few weeks, she'd been...
34:12distracted and emotional.
34:14Was it anything to do with Zara's boyfriend?
34:16Greg.
34:17Hmm.
34:18She thought Zara was spending too much time with him.
34:21But she hadn't mentioned it again.
34:23Right.
34:26And how was she and her husband?
34:30Lizzie found it claustrophobic.
34:32And felt trapped.
34:33She said something about wanting to...
34:36get away.
34:37Escape.
34:38From the farm?
34:40From the farm?
34:40Or her husband?
34:42Just said things had to change.
34:46Now, according to the headmistress, Lizzie seemed troubled for the past fortnight.
34:51But apart from arguments with her daughter, no-one at home seemed to notice anything.
34:55Now, we know she was unhappy about Zara's boyfriend, Greg Stein.
35:01Can he run a background check on him?
35:04Yes, ma'am.
35:05Jack, how we doing with her laptop?
35:08The report's back from forensics.
35:10Lizzie uploaded this on Tuesday evening.
35:12Oh, all that photo's up in their kitchen.
35:14Hang on.
35:17No, that's a photo of the photo.
35:20You can see a reflection of her windows.
35:24Now, why would she have to...?
35:25She also downloaded several statements on Monday.
35:29Savings, investments, bank.
35:30Well, fair enough.
35:32She thought she was going to lose her job.
35:34Well, on Tuesday, she emptied money from all the accounts that she shared with her husband
35:39into her own personal account.
35:41Did she?
35:42Yeah, just over £4,000.
35:44And then she froze the rest.
35:47Annika said that Lizzie wanted to escape.
35:49That could be her escape fund.
35:50Well, there's that.
35:52Or she didn't trust her husband.
35:55Jack, do a financial check on the pair of them, last six months.
36:00Er, I want everything.
36:02Now, Mark, how we doing with her movements?
36:05ANPR pinged that she travelled to Brignall on Tuesday and Wednesday, but nothing on Monday.
36:10Yeah, but you...
36:11Well, I've already checked the CCTV for the car park, it's just for sure.
36:15So, why was she in Brignall?
36:19Friends?
36:20Aidan?
36:20Well, it's the nearest big town.
36:23Plenty of cafes to hang out in.
36:24Mm.
36:25Now, we're meeting Phil at the mall.
36:28Kenny, get onto our mobile provider.
36:30I want those phone records.
36:32And remind them, please, this is a murder inquiry.
36:35Yes, ma'am.
36:36Please, come on.
36:39You didn't have to!
36:41You didn't have to!
36:55No, please.
36:56Yes, ma'am.
37:26Can you look after her?
37:28Where's Phil?
37:29He's just left.
37:30Look who's turned up.
37:52So I'm presuming you've got news.
37:56Well, it's not good.
37:59I can confirm that someone else was involved.
38:05It seems likely that Lizzie was pulled down the steps after an old location.
38:10I'm afraid we still haven't found her car, but we do know she visited Brignall on Tuesday
38:15and Wednesday.
38:17Why would she go there?
38:19Well, I was hoping you could tell me that.
38:22Did she have friends there?
38:24Café?
38:25Favourite spot?
38:26No.
38:28I mean, Macca runs a pub there on the sofa.
38:31Oh, well, that could be it then.
38:34Were they close?
38:40What do you mean?
38:42We met Macca in the lane by the farm.
38:44He told us he was a friend of the family.
38:46I mean, she wouldn't go out of her way to see him.
38:49And if he'd have seen her, he would have said.
38:58Can you tell me why she emptied your joint accounts into her own personal one?
39:04She did what?
39:05She cleared out your joint accounts the day before she died.
39:08You didn't know that.
39:13Well, why do you think she did that?
39:15Hmm?
39:16Financial problems?
39:17No idea.
39:20But I need to be with my daughter.
39:24Why are you walking away from me?
39:37Zara wasn't happy he was here.
39:38Hmm.
39:40Well, let's keep an eye on him.
39:47Ma'am, I've got Lizzie's mobile phone records.
39:51There's a call to her bank, Annika.
39:55A daily calls with her daughters.
39:57The last call she made was 10.20 Wednesday morning.
40:01Phil says that Jamie McCarthy lives in Brignall.
40:04Runs a pub.
40:06Yes.
40:07Jack, run him through the system.
40:10Full background check.
40:11Yes, Ma'am.
40:12Ma'am, we found Lizzie's car.
40:17Mrs. Swan called, said two tyres were flat.
40:21And you picked her up from school?
40:23Aye.
40:24About quarter to eleven.
40:25Said it'd take till four to sort the tyres out.
40:28She said she'd come by the garage later.
40:30Did you give her a lift anywhere?
40:32Nah.
40:32Said she'd walk.
40:34Didn't know where she went?
40:35Sorry.
40:37Too busy getting her car in me truck.
40:39And how was she?
40:40How do you think?
40:41Paid off.
40:42Two tyres were flat.
40:45The car's over here waiting for her.
40:48We've kept the tyres for the insurance.
40:50It looked like an accident.
40:54It was deliberate.
40:56Aye.
40:57Hey, don't touch, love.
41:02Get forensics in.
41:05Oh, we've given it a value after the tyres.
41:09You've done what?
41:12Part of the service.
41:14We'll never touch the suitcase, though.
41:17The suitcase?
41:31It's a packed case.
41:32Was she legging it?
41:34And her husband and mother-in-law didn't even notice.
41:36Yes, well, that says a lot.
41:38Where was she going to stay?
41:40I don't know.
41:42A neighbour with that headmistress.
41:44Perhaps that's why she turned up at the school to see her.
41:47Got turned away.
41:50But more importantly, who was it sabotaged the car?
41:55Stopped her from going.
41:57Hmm?
42:05Right, Malcolm, what have you got for us?
42:07No?
42:10Twice in one day.
42:11Lucky me.
42:15Right, well, I've been looking at the enhanced photographs of Liz's wrist and it's very clear that someone grabbed it
42:21very hard indeed.
42:22Ah, that's just as I thought.
42:25Now, see if you can impress me again, Malcolm.
42:28What have you got from these tyres?
42:29Well, I wouldn't want you to think I was showing off, but I can confirm it was deliberate.
42:35The punctures were tiny.
42:37Something long, sharp, almost needle-like.
42:41Some needle?
42:42Go through a tyre?
42:43Well, whatever it was, they would have gone down silently.
42:46So, whoever did this just wanted the car out of action?
42:50Needed her to be on foot?
42:52Yes.
42:54More vulnerable.
42:58What have you got from the suitcase?
43:01We only found her prints on the handle and the lock, but I had better luck with the car.
43:05We found two sets, one on the passenger door handle not in the system, and another set under the wheel
43:13arches, presumably, when they were puncturing the tyres.
43:15Oh, tell me they're on the system, Malcolm.
43:19They are on the system, Malcolm.
43:22Can I have a name?
43:25Mo Hassan.
43:27Hassan?
43:28Well, well, well.
43:31But this is harassment!
43:33I haven't done anything wrong!
43:35This is harassment!
43:38This is harassment!
43:40He says it's harassment.
43:57Aiden?
44:01Also, I don't know.
44:02Bullseye!
44:04Man!
44:06I didn't know!
