Original subtitles

We're not late, are we? No, we're not due in yet.

Something for you. On your big day.

Thank you, Rose.

Shame you've got no wedding guests.

Let's wait and see, shall we?

She was asleep, fast asleep.

What time was this?

Just after half past nine.

What did you give her? To make her sleep?

Something I got from the chemist.

I...

I took the pillow from my side of the bed

and I...

I held it down over her face.

I have this heart condition, you see,

and I haven't been well for some time now and...

She didn't want me to go first.

She didn't want to be left alone.

She insisted that we did it.

And you agreed?

Oh, I always agreed with her. Had to.

She was nearly always right.

Karen Drew and John Leigh, is that right?

Yes. And this is Mr and Mrs Burrows. They're our witnesses.

Hello. And are there any guests?

We're not sure yet.

If you'd both like to follow me, we can finalise all the details.

Morning, sir.

Erm... George Aston. Did you get a confession?

Yes. It wasn't exactly a victory, sir.

No, no. The man is approaching 70.

Doesn't care what happens to him.

He's got no family. No close friends.

He didn't even want a solicitor. I had to insist that he had one.

Surely you can't condone what he did, John?

Of course. I'm not condoning it.

If you'll excuse me, sir. Sir.

Hello, Lucy. Sir.

I take it the prisoner's getting some help?

The social services are gonna decide what's best, sir, yes.

I expect they're busy tossing a coin as we speak.

Good.

Karen Drew, yes?

Karen with a K.

John Terence Leigh. Yes.

Terence with one R? Terence with one R...

John...

Where did they come from?

Out of the woodwork.

Would you all stand, please?

Lucy...

Breakfast or lunch?

Sir?

Then again I don't see breakfast meetings being fully appreciated

in this particular force, do you?

I'm sorry, sir. I'm not quite with you.

Strengths and weaknesses.

The future of selected officers with potential.

You're one of them. Right...

So, shall we say...

Lunch tomorrow?

Erm...

I call upon these persons here present.

I call upon these persons here present.

To witness that I, John Terence Leigh.

To witness that I, John Terence Leigh.

Do take thee, Karen Drew, to be my lawful wedded wife.

Do take thee, Karen Drew...

..to be my lawful wedded wife.

He's asked to see you. Do you know what it's about?

No, he wouldn't tell me, but as his solicitor,

I think I should be present. Of course, yes.

How is he? The doctor's taken another look at him.

What's the result? Still not in the best of health.

But he's fit to be detained.

Hello, George.

Everybody say cheese. ALL: Cheese!

Right. Drinks?

Everything. It's all on me.

I'll have a pint.

I'll have a gin and tonic, please. A large one.

Large G & T. Pint of bitter and a pint of cider as well, please, mate.

Great.

I've had a word with the social worker.

She'll be coming back to talk to you again soon.

Why? So she can speak for you in court.

Tell them about your health.

With luck, you'll spend your time in remand in the prison hospital.

Oh.

But you've got to say things for yourself, George.

I'm sure we'd agree with that.

At the moment, you're saying nothing in your own defence.

There's nothing left to say, is there?

I've been wanting to ask.

How long have you two known each other? A very long time.

About three weeks and three days.

So, where are you going for your honeymoon, then?

We're going up to Black Scar. Not the Steephill Hotel?

Yeah, that's the one. I used to work there.

The cliffs got me down. I love them.

I'm gonna do some very serious walking.

This is the fourth wedding I've been to this year.

There's food through here for the wedding party. Oh, good.

But I like this wedding best.

I mean, it's better if you get invited.

Karen, these guests of yours. Who are they?

I've no idea. You've no idea?

No. John and I arranged it like that.

Why? Does it matter? Karen...

I've been thinking about the farm.

I was wondering what was going to happen to it.

See, Joan and me, we...

We worked that place most of our lives.

With not much to show for it, but at least it was ours.

You never know. You could be going back to it one day.

Oh, no.

George, I shouldn't really be telling you this.

But a jury could decide that there are mitigating circumstances.

That's right.

So when you go to court tomorrow,

why not plead not guilty?

But I killed her.

It could be seen as manslaughter.

No. No, that'd be a lie.

I did what she asked me. I killed her.

Mr Wycliffe...

I don't trust many people, I never have.

But I trust you.

Would you come and see me if I needed someone to talk to?

Yes.

You did what?

He asked me to lunch. The DCC?

Yes. When?

Tomorrow.

Perhaps he just had a blank space in his Filofax?

He wants to talk about the future.

Yours or his? Mine apparently.

I couldn't exactly refuse, could I?

Give us one of them pies, will you?

And another spud.

Don't want to see this lot go to waste, do we?

Is he paying for all the food as well? Yes.

Must be worth a few bob. Is there gonna be a speech?

I shouldn't think so, no.

I want to leave.

I can't put up with these people for another hour.

There must be a speech.

They always have speeches at weddings.

Do you know something? I don't even know your name.

It's Marion. All right, then, Marion.

You make a speech. Me?

Let's have a bit of hush, please.

Marion here is going to make a speech.

But I don't know what to say.

Speak up.

Well, I...

I just wanted to come to the wedding, that's all.

Speech. Why don't you leave her alone?

She's supposed to be enjoying herself.

Then you say something, whoever you are.

KNOCKING I'd like to say a few words.

To the bride and the groom.

Long life and happiness. Hear, hear.

Thank you, Harry.

Bye.

What an amazing place.

Yep.

You want to come for a walk with me tomorrow on the coastal path?

No. Not me. But this is our honeymoon.

Who needs to go walking?

I do, you lazy sod.

If you knew me better, you'd know I'm not a great walker.

Ah, but I don't know you better, do I? Haven't had time.

One thing I have learned,

you're pretty good at flashing your money around. Me?

Yes, you. In that pub. Take it easy, will you?

I was worried, John. We didn't know any of those people.

Does it matter? No.

I suppose not.

Sorry.

John...?

What's the matter, can't you sleep?

No. Must be all the excitement.

Something wrong?

No.

Nothing's wrong.

Come on. Come back to bed.

Good morning, Mrs Leigh. Morning.

PHONE RINGS

Yes, Kersey. Hold on a second, please.

Sir.

How did it go with Aston?

Remanded in custody for seven days prior to committal.

Didn't he get bail? He didn't ask.

Hello.

Mr Leigh?

Mrs Leigh?

Who first reported it to you?

One of the cleaners, Mrs Vassey.

Our local doctor's with her at the moment.

And you say it's a guest? Yes, a Mr Leigh.

Booked in last night. Honeymoon couple.

Where's Mrs Leigh? Still out walking.

She went out very early this morning.

I was up and about then, and I spoke to her.

Neither she nor her husband wanted any breakfast.

She also said she heard something. Heard what?

Someone moving around outside in the early hours.

I told her it was probably a tradesman delivering.

But obviously I was wrong.

Erm... Those are the things that Mrs Vassey found.

Right, thank you.

Look, I'm very sorry,

but I just can't go in there again.

Got a call, sir. Place called Black Scar.

Local CID want us down there as quickly as possible.

Looks like it's gonna be a suitcase job.

What about your lunch date?

Yes, well, I shall just have to cancel it, won't I?

Anyway, who needs to talk about the future?

Where's Mrs Leigh at this moment?

The management have put her up in one of the main hotel rooms.

What sort of a state is she in?

Not good, ma'am.

Yes, well, we need to speak to her.

I'd also like a word with whoever found the body.

Mrs Vassey, yes. She's in the staff quarters.

These were found here? Yes, sir.

And the murder weapon? Still looking.

We checked the car, it's still locked.

They must have been disturbed.

The gardeners usually go down to the sheds about eight.

What time did Mrs Leigh go for a walk?

It was early, sir. About 6:30.

Any local criminals who specialise in hotel theft?

Yes, ma'am, a few.

But the ones known to me don't specialise in murder.

One wallet. Where was it?

On a pathway back there. A maintenance worker found it.

There's no money in it, no credit cards,

but there's a driver's licence in the name of John Terence Leigh.

Sir.

It was a Methodist church originally.

But times change.

Now it's used as an arts centre.

Folk music, jazz, that sort of thing.

I saw a production of Uncle Vanya here once.

By a local amateur dramatic group.

A full house that sits over 100 people.

Do you do amateur dramatics? No, no, not really my kind of thing.

But it's a great place for jazz.

Yes, you can almost hear the band playing, can't you?

Well, sir, is this all right for you?

It's perfect.

Mrs Karen Leigh?

Detective Superintendent Wycliffe.

And Detective Inspector Lane.

We realise it's a difficult time for you,

but do you think we could talk? It's important.

I believe you left for your walk at about 6:30 this morning,

is that right?

It was about that time, yeah.

Was your husband awake? No.

SNIFFS

Here. Thanks.

I know it's hard, Karen.

But if we're gonna find the person or persons

who murdered your husband,

we must ask questions as soon as possible, you do understand that?

Yeah...

Is there anyone we can send for to be with you?

A close friend or relative?

No, there isn't anyone.

I'm a long way from home, you see.

So where's your home town?

Oxford.

I've been backpacking for a couple of weeks.

That's how I met John. He gave me a lift.

I take it he didn't want to go for a walk with you this morning?

No, he wasn't a great one for walking.

Did you see anyone on your walk?

No.

And you got back what time?

Erm... About 12:30.

Karen...

Do you recognise this wallet?

Yeah, it's John's.

It contained a driving licence in your husband's name.

Could you tell us what else was in it?

Money. How much money?

Erm... I don't know. He carried a lot with him.

And all his credit cards.

We've been told that you heard a noise outside your room

this morning? Is that true?

Yeah.

What sort of noise?

Just someone moving around. Walking along the path.

At what time was this?

About... half past five, something like that.

Did you look out?

Look, I think it must have been one of those people.

I mean, I did warn John.

I told him not to flash his money around.

People? What people?

The wedding guests.

It's a hotel. Vehicles come and go. That early in the morning?

The outside kitchen staff drive in. It's the only way to get here.

Then there are trade vehicles, newspapers, milk, farm produce.

Better make a list out. Already done it, sir.

Must cost a packet to stay here, doesn't it?

I couldn't afford it.

I met John three weeks and four days ago exactly.

And where did you meet him?

On a road outside a service station.

He joked about driving coast to coast in 12 minutes.

We stayed together in a hotel.

In Penzance that weekend.

And we fell in love.

Even though you knew very little about each other?

It didn't seem to matter to John. It was the way he lived his life.

He liked surprises.

Didn't he want to get to know you better,

or... meet your family or anything?

No.

Anyway, I only have my parents to worry about.

And they live in Oxford, do they? Yeah.

What is this? Why should I have to answer these questions?

All right, Karen, all right.

Let's just talk about the wedding guests, shall we?

You got married in Penzance, is that right?

Yes.

We had to wait three weeks while the banns were read,

and we also had to be resident in Cornwall for at least 15 days.

We got to know a couple who ran a pub that we used as a local.

They were our witnesses at the wedding.

What pub?

The Waggoners. But what about the guests?

Who were they? Don't know.

But you must know their names, surely?

No.

John put an advert in the local paper

giving a date and the time of the wedding.

What, he advertised for wedding guests?

Yeah.

We thought it was a great idea.

I mean, I didn't think anyone would turn up. Who would?

And you're saying people did turn up?

Yes. Five of them.

It's the police, love. They want to talk to us.

The police? Why?

Hello, Mrs Burrows. Hello.

I believe you know a couple named John and Karen Leigh?

That's right.

We were at their wedding yesterday.

We were their witnesses. Why, what's wrong?

I'm afraid John Leigh was found dead this morning.

What? Found dead? What do you mean?

We believe he was murdered.

Oh, no...

He can't have been... All right, love, all right.

Why would anybody want to murder him?

For what reason? We don't know yet.

That's terrible.

How can anybody...?

Apart from yourselves, who else was at the reception?

Four or five people. Did you know any of them?

No, that was a bit weird. Nobody knew anybody.

What I don't understand is what's the point of inviting

a lot of strangers to your wedding and then upsetting them?

Who upset them? Karen did.

She upset a couple of them anyway.

Come on, love. It was just a bit of fun, really.

Neither of them deserved this.

Do you happen to know Karen's maiden name?

Yes. Drew?

Yes, Karen Drew. Could you describe the guests?

We don't have to. You took photos. Oh, yes.

Well, Vicky? All done.

Any idea how they got in?

I'd say through this door here. It was off the latch.

Peaceful place like this. And on your honeymoon

I suppose you don't expect the worst, do you? No.

Well, as soon as Dr Franks is satisfied,

we'll arrange to have the body removed.

Terrible business.

Yes, Mr Price, it is.

Poor man. And his poor wife.

They seemed such a happy couple, you know?

Full of fun.

We'll try our best not to cause too much inconvenience

to your guests and to your staff. Thank you.

Luckily, we're fairly quiet at the moment.

Have you had any trouble here in the past with people breaking in?

No, never.

We're pretty lucky to be off the beaten track here.

Mmm. What about local people?

Well, they know their way here.

I mean, quite a few non-residents visit for a drink, a meal.

Mostly, they use the track road.

I see. Thank you.

And this lot just turned up in answer to an ad?

Yes. You'd think they'd have something better to do.

You know what people say.

No, what do people say?

"Oh, I do like a good wedding."

Shame, really. Looked quite suited for one another.

The blow-ups have arrived. Good.

I'm due at the path lab in about an hour.

Where are we billeted tonight? A B&B down the road.

Oh, yeah and I'd like a full briefing tomorrow morning 9am.

A bloody B&B and we're working in a four-star hotel, I don't know.

The weapon we're looking for is possibly a thin-bladed knife.

Approximately 15 centimetres in length.

Now, the PM report suggests that three, maybe even two

of the knife wounds would have proved fatal.

But there were many more wounds, which suggests

that, obviously, whoever it was,

didn't want the attack to end.

So we're not just looking for a thief.

We could also be looking for a nutcase.

Someone who knew that they were staying in that particular hotel.

Now, according to Mrs Leigh,

the stolen items still unaccounted for are as follows.

Eight credit cards made out in the name of John Terence Leigh.

About £1,000 in paper currency.

One data bank electronic organiser

and one 9 carat gold quartz wristwatch.

Your turn.

Right, well, we've been questioning the hotel staff

and the few guests that are staying there.

But so far, we seem to have drawn a blank on that.

Detective Sergeant Orren has been filling us in

on all the local known suspects,

and I'd appreciate it if the rest of you

could give that some thought as well.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to have a look at these?

They were guests at the wedding.

We don't know who they are or their names.

We don't know where they live.

But we do know,

because the wife of the deceased told us,

they sounded local.

Sarge... Josie?

We know who this one is.

Hello, Donald.

Looking for another wedding to go to? Jump in.

I saw this advert in the Western Echo.

Thought it was a joke at first.

And then I thought, what the hell.

It's not far. So I went along.

What were you hoping to do?

Wear a dark suit and run off with the collection plate?

It was in a registry office, not a church.

Of course it was.

Donald here's a bit of an impersonator.

You know, gas board man. Water board man.

Knocking on doors. Conning old ladies.

I went to that wedding for some free food and free booze

and I got it, all right?

Where were you early yesterday morning, Mr Mason?

Depends what you mean by early.

Let's say between 6:30 and 9:30am.

I was getting ready for work.

Had this job for a while. Debt collector.

I did.

Some garage owner I know.

Only I packed it in yesterday afternoon

cos the money was no good. I got into debt.

Is there anyone that can confirm that you were at home at that time?

Yeah, my mum. Your mum?

I live with my mum.

What is all this? What's happened?

Well, the man that was kind enough to ask you to his wedding

has been murdered.

Murdered?

Bloody hell.

Come on, Mr Orren. You know me.

That's not my kind of thing.

Yes, Donald. I know.

What about the other people? What other people?

The other wedding guests. Did you know them?

No, I never seen them before.

Did you talk to them? Of course I talked to them.

I didn't just stand around like a plum, did I?

Did you get their names? No.

But I know where one of them lives.

Hello, Ralph? 'Speaking'.

Hi, it's DI Lane. Hi.

Thanks for that information on John Leigh.

Could you do something else for me? 'Yeah, sure.'

Can you hold on a sec. Yes? We may have found the murder weapon.

Ralph, I'll get right back to you. OK.

We came out the pub, we got a taxi. Who's "we"?

Me and the little fella. And this woman.

What about the other two guests?

The weird couple? No, they drove off in a pick-up.

We dropped the woman off at her home.

And later, I got out.

And the little fella carried on. He was paying for the taxi.

Any idea where he was going to?

Yeah, back to his boat.

Said he was working as a trawlerman, that he was sailing that night.

The amount of booze he put away I hope he wasn't steering the thing.

Thanks, Mr Mason, we'll be in touch.

How many trawlers set sail last night, eh?

I'll find out, sir.

This way, Ma'am.

It was out of sight, but you couldn't exactly say it was hidden.

It's in there, Ma'am.

Just an old kitchen knife nobody wanted.

A bit worn, but we use it for odd jobs around the garden.

Where's it normally kept?

In the shed with the rest of the tools.

Anything else gone missing out of your shed?

Yeah. A set of overalls.

DOORBELL

Good morning. I'm Detective Inspector Kersey.

This is Detective Superintendent Wycliffe.

Police? You're the police? Yes.

Good heavens.

Do you think we might come in?

Yes, of course you can. Come in.

And your name is? Marion.

Marion Pearce.

Well, we hope we're not disturbing you, Mrs Pearce.

Miss. No, you're not disturbing me.

I wasn't doing anything in particular.

May we sit down? Yes, of course you can.

Please. Sit down. Thank you.

Oh, can I get you something? Tea or something? Coffee?

No, no. Thank you.

Miss Pearce...

We believe you went to a wedding the day before yesterday.

Here at the Town Hall? Yes, I did. It was lovely.

Not many people, mind. But it was the best wedding I've ever been to.

You go to a lot of weddings, do you, Miss Pearce?

Yes. When I can. The other guests,

did you know them? No.

Is something wrong?

Yes. The bridegroom, John Leigh, was killed yesterday.

Oh, no! Where?

Up at Black Scar?

They said they were going to Black Scar.

What happened? Did he fall?

I mean, it's beautiful up there, but it's dangerous.

I've heard the cliffs are dangerous.

We've reason to believe that John Leigh was murdered.

Murdered?

And you want to question me, is that it?

No, Miss Pearce, we're hoping you can help us.

Yes, well, I don't want to say any more. I'm sorry?

I said I don't want to say any more. And I don't have to.

Why don't you want to tell us any more, Miss Pearce?

Because I did it.

I killed him.

Why did you kill him?

They made fun of me at the wedding.

They'd no right to do that.

How did you kill him, Miss Pearce?

I went over there, didn't I?

To Black Scar?

Did you drive there? I caught a bus.

And then I saw him standing at the top of the cliff.

So I walked up behind him...

..and I pushed him.

And he fell off the cliff.

Thank you, Miss Pearce.

Was that it? Don't you want to ask me any more questions?

Not for the moment, thank you. Oh, about Mrs Leigh.

What about her?

Well, perhaps... you know, when the time is right.

Could you put in a quiet word for me?

I mean, she's bound to need people at the funeral.

Thank you.

Ron.

SOCO reckons the handle's probably been wiped of prints.

You'd best send it off to the lab.

What about the overalls? Haven't been found yet.

And yet this has.

All too easily. That's what I don't understand.

It's like the mobile phone and the car keys.

It's almost as if they've been left for someone to find.

Could have been dropped.

You'd notice if you dropped your mobile phone, wouldn't you?

I've just had a CRO check done. That's the result.

The harbour master says four trawlers sailed last night, sir.

OK. Then radio them with a description, will you?

Yes, sir, but I had a call from a colleague.

The last of the wedding guests has come forward.

Of their own free will? Yes, sir.

They called from the coast road up by Longmans.

They're waiting for us there now.

I told Ron to stay behind. Keep an eye on it.

What have you found? A bag with some things in it.

Bloodstained things.

There's a name on some cards and things.

We recognised the name from the wedding.

And some money. Lots of money.

You see, we may be poor, but we're honest.

Always have been. Probably why we've stayed poor.

It's in there.

Could we talk somewhere, Mr Price? Yes. Yes, of course.

Please, come this way.

I... I believe that Mrs Leigh is also to leave us,

which is understandable, it must be upsetting for her to stay here.

Is she up in her room? No, no, she's outside.

Getting some air, she said.

When you spoke to her early yesterday morning before her walk,

what was she wearing? Erm...

Jeans, a jacket thing.

Boots.

Can you recall anything else?

Yes, her tee-shirt was unusual.

Well, I say... The wording on the tee-shirt was unusual.

"Life can't hurt us"?

Yes. That was it.

What is it, some kind of motto, I suppose?

Was this the sort of tee-shirt she was wearing?

Yes, it was.

"His and hers."

Karen...

I hear you've decided to leave?

Oh, yeah. If that's all right with you.

I... I thought I'd get a room in Penzance, you know.

Sort out the funeral and everything.

I don't really want to be here any longer.

Can we just ask you about your walk yesterday morning?

You said you left at 6:30, is that right?

Yeah.

It couldn't have been a little bit later, could it?

Maybe an hour, even more?

No. Ask the manager, he saw me. I spoke to him.

How far did you walk?

Erm... I went as far as Clearwater. Why?

Did you pass the under cliff by Longmans Cove?

Yes, I did. Did you stop there?

I may have done. It was a long walk. I took a lot of breaks.

What's the matter?

Would you come with us, please, Karen?

Come with you where?

We believe we've found your husband's property

and... we'd like you to identify it.

Yeah, I'll pass that on. Thank you, bye.

Is there a solicitor that you know?

No. Anyway, why should I need a solicitor?

This way.

Sir.

His, is it? Yeah.

Oh, by the way, I just got a call from HQ.

Yeah? They've heard from the prison hospital.

George Aston's asked to see you.

OK. I'll look in on him later.

OK.

I'm showing Karen Leigh eight credit cards.

And some paper currency.

Do you recognise these?

Yeah, they're John's credit cards.

And the money?

Yes. Well, I suppose that must be his money as well.

Do you know how much money's there? No.

Just over £3,000 in cash.

I take it you knew how much your husband was worth?

Not really, no.

Things like that aren't important to me.

It wasn't a fortune. But there again

he wasn't exactly short of money.

He owned two gambling houses on the South Coast.

Not quite the West End, but near enough.

That makes sense. His whole approach to life was a gamble.

These were found in Longmans Cove.

Do you intend going back there, maybe,

when things have quietened down a bit?

If I didn't know they were there, how could I?

I'm showing Karen Leigh one set of bloodstained overalls.

Do you recognise these overalls? No.

Did you take these overalls together with the knife

from the hotel gardens yesterday morning? No.

From what we can make out, your husband liked to sail

pretty close to the wind,

but he never got into trouble with the police. Good for him.

How about you?

Have you ever been in trouble?

Never.

As a child, you received a caution

under the Children and Young Persons Act

for causing actual bodily harm to a school friend.

Do you remember that?

No. It was too long ago.

OK. We'll try something a little more recent, shall we?

Two years ago, at Oxford County Court,

you were sentenced to 28 days in prison suspended for six months,

providing you sought psychiatric help.

Is that right?

Would you like to tell us about that?

I don't think so, no.

OK, I'll remind you.

Your parents lived in fear of you and were concerned

for their own safety, you breached a court order

that banned you from going within 25 yards of their house.

Their own home, the house they brought you up in.

They didn't want you there, did they, Karen?

They didn't want you anywhere near them.

Right, so I don't get on with my parents. So what?

And a lot of people don't.

The report says that you threatened to kill them.

What did they do to deserve that?

They shouldn't have interfered, should they?

Interfered? In what?

They got to know a boyfriend of mine once.

What are you saying? That your parents didn't like him?

No, I'm saying they got too close to him.

And they warned him about me.

And after that, he stayed away.

He was lucky.

John Leigh wasn't so lucky, was he?

Do you know what's wrong with this world?

No. Do tell us.

There are too many people trying to control us.

You're doing it right now.

MUMBLES What was that?

That's why I went on the road. To get away from all that?

To get away from everything. And John Leigh.

Did he also try to control you?

Do you know something?

When I first saw him,

I thought he was the one person I'd been looking for all my life.

Someone just like me.

I'm showing Karen Leigh a third exhibit.

A bloodstained tee-shirt.

The hotel manager told us he saw you wearing a tee-shirt.

This colour. This lettering on it.

At 6:30 yesterday morning.

Is this yours, Karen?

It was, erm...

It was my wedding present.

One for each of us.

In the middle of the night, he said it was over.

He said it had all been fun.

But now it was over.

Time for him to move on, he said.

No-one does that to me.

So he went back to sleep.

And I went for my walk at 6:30.

And I waited by the cliff tops.

Then came back through the garden.

And found the knife.

And the overalls.

Put the overalls on.

When I went back into the lodge, he was still asleep.

I stabbed him then.

I didn't stop stabbing him.

Do you know what his real problem was?

No, what was it?

For once in his life,

he'd picked the wrong person to play games with.

All done, then?

Yep.

Erm... I just got another call from HQ about George Aston.

Oh, yeah.

I'd better go and see him.

Apparently... Apparently, it was yesterday when he asked to see you.

The hospital took quite a while getting the message through.

I'm afraid he was... found dead earlier this morning.

His heart just gave out on him.

It was probably the best thing, really, wasn't it?

I'll finish up in there, OK?
