Night, Colin.

Night.

What's going on over there?

Oi!

Ugh!

Oh, God!

You all right, mate?

Why do you never call me at a civilised hour, Trevor?

Do we know who he is? Got his wallet and mobile phone.

Driving licence says Bernard Tyzack. He's local.

Do you know him? No.

Right. Has Dr Franks been called?

Expected within the hour. SOCO's on his way, too.

So what have we got? Stabbed in the heart, looks like.

One of the witnesses recovered the knife.

We got someone for it, didn't we?

He threw up all over. Shock. We put him in the car.

Is that who I think it is? Mick Seenan.

Why's he done something like this?

DOORBELL

Mrs Tyzack?

Yes.

So, Mick...

Did you know Bernard Tyzack?

Not at all.

You know we can check. Yeah?

I never set eyes on him before.

What were you after tonight, then?

What?

Come on! It's usually drug money.

No. I'm clean now, Mr Kersey. I got a son.

So what happened?

Nothing. I was waiting for someone.

Then this bloke said I was stealing his car. He went mad.

Who were you waiting for?

A friend. Thought he might be drinking there.

Why wait outside? Why not go in and look for him?

People inside I didn't want to see.

You know the Market Inn, then?

No.

OK, OK.

Who's the friend?

It wasn't a firm plan. It was just someone I thought would be there.

Who had the knife? He did.

It'll have his prints on, then, eh?

Looks new. Bought specially?

Look, you gotta believe me.

You're not doing well with your story.

Were you stealing his car? No!

Well, that makes a change.

Look...

I didn't even know him. It weren't my fault. He came at me.

You know you'll have to tell me sooner or later.

You know the score.

I've told you what happened.

(SIGHS)

Not just a pub brawl gone wrong, then?

No. Can't put my finger on it, but it's not Seenan's style.

He's got no form for violence. Or possession of a weapon.

Everything under control? Yes, sir.

I didn't call you again late last night.

How did the interview go?

We have the evidence to charge him.

His story won't stand up in court and he knows it.

He's not making much sense.

And the victim? Tyzack?

Very little so far. He's married, one kid.

Respectable local businessman. Not known to us.

We've got Tyzack's mobile phone.

I'll get a log of his calls for the last two weeks.

OK.

Lucy, see what we can get from the family.

Doug, I'll leave the rest to you. Yeah.

Mrs Tyzack?

Detective Superintendent Wycliffe, Inspector Lane.

This is my son, Rob.

I'm glad it's you.

You don't recognise me.

Rob's at school with David.

Oh, I see... No, I didn't.

I've spoken to Helen at parents' evenings.

And David's often round here. Lovely boy.

Yes, I see...

You've arrested someone?

Rob... wait.

No, it's all right, Mrs Tyzack.

Yes, a man's been arrested.

He's already known to us.

Why Dad?

If there was a reason, we don't yet know it.

I can't believe it.

Mrs Tyzack, I need to ask questions about your husband.

It might be better if your son left.

What sort of questions?

What did your husband do?

Um... caravan parks.

He owns a couple near Perranporth and one down Helford way.

Perhaps his attacker is connected with one of them.

I see.

It would be easier if Rob left.

No. I'm not going.

I won't leave Mum on her own. Rob...

Mrs Tyzack, I have a photograph I'd like you to look at.

Do you recognise him?

Are you sure you've not met or spoken to this man?

You said he was a criminal!

Why would we know anything about it?

We may have to look into your husband's personal life.

Any money problems, for example?

No. He's been doing very well.

I'm sorry to have to ask you this.

But were there any...

family problems we should know about?

Well, please think it over.

WPC Hendricks will stay here for the time being.

If you want to add anything, just let us know.

Oh, and I should tell you...

If you're keeping anything back...

Well... it's bound to come out during the inquiry.

Why are you asking about Dad?

He's the one who's been murdered.

I know. But we need to find out exactly what happened, and why.

We'll help in any way we can.

No. Never seen him in here. Are you sure?

Yeah. I never forget a face.

What about Tyzack? Did you know him?

He came in. Same as plenty of 'em.

He had drinking buddies?

He'd chat. But he wasn't a regular.

What about women? Was he a... ladies' man?

Not that I saw. But...

Oh, yeah? Bit of gossip?

Nah. The guy's dead, isn't he? Forget it.

You've not heard of Bernard Tyzack? He's not a business partner?

No. I don't even know the name.

Could he be a former owner?

Well, I've been here 15 years.

Sorry. I wish I could help.

No, no. Thanks, anyway.

We've definitely got the right place?

These are the details Mrs Tyzack gave me.

Dinner.

Tastes even worse cold.

Well, Tyzack's pleasant lifestyle clearly wasn't funded by caravans.

I thought you were off sick.

I have to talk to you. Your dad came to our house.

A place like this can't make money. Not legally, anyway.

Could be a housing benefit scam.

Owner gets an unmarried couple to claim on two caravans.

Then they share one, and...

The other's a wreck giving the owner upwards of £60 a week.

That would make some sense of this dump.

Hey! What do you want?

Is anyone in charge around here?

Who wants to know?

Police. Det Insp Lane.

This is Det Sgt Wallis.

Oh. It's me you want, then.

And you are...?

Angie Kane. I manage the place.

Who for?

Tell me what this is about, first.

Do you know a Bernard Tyzack?

Yeah.

Does he own this caravan park?

Yeah.

How long has he owned it?

I've been here 10 years...

Before that... I don't know.

Does he own others round here?

You'd better ask him yourself.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

David?

Dad, you've seen Rob and his mum.

Yes, I have.

Where's Helen? In the bath.

I saw Rob.

I didn't realise you knew him.

He's one of my best mates.

How will they manage? Mrs Tyzack doesn't work, does she?

It's a rotten situation.

Will Dr Franks have to do a PM? I'm afraid so.

They'll bag up all his clothes.

For the forensic lab.

That's terrible.

Imagine if...

It won't ever happen to you, will it, Dad?

No, no, no.

I spend all my time behind a desk, these days.

Why would anyone kill Mr Tyzack?

I don't know. And I can't discuss it, David.

Enquiries are still going on.

Rob said you made out his dad was in with crooks.

I can't choose what I find out!

Why? You've got the man who did it. Why upset Rob and his mum?

My job is to provide the facts of a case to the courts.

Seems to me you're picking at a corpse.

I'm going down for this, aren't I?

I'll be held on remand.

You don't care what happens to me, do you?

Not if you don't tell the truth about the other night.

Do you know the caravan park Woodmead Leisure Homes?

It's near Helford.

No.

OK.

Let's go back to the other night.

What were you doing there with a knife in your hand?

Forensic examination shows the knife had never been used.

It was brand new. Bought specially.

And it only had your prints on it.

You're going to have to explain all that to a jury.

This isn't going to go away, Mick.

Well, what would you have done? What happened, Mick?

It's out of my league. You know that.

I should never have agreed to it.

Agreed to what?

I never meant to hurt him, I swear.

I was meant to teach him a lesson. Frighten him.

Someone wanted you to frighten him?

Were you offered money to do that?

I told Mr Kersey. I got a kid. I been clean for ages.

Who did you owe money to? Was it for drugs?

I'm not telling you. I got a kid to protect.

Someone told you to threaten Tyzack?

I didn't mean to hurt him!

Mick...

Mick. He's dead.

It's not my fault!

He shouldn't have come at me. I'd never handled a knife before.

All right. All right... All right.

Just tell me one thing...

Why Tyzack?

I don't know. I didn't know him.

Was he a dealer? I don't think so.

But he'd upset the people you owed?

I suppose so. I don't know.

I told you, I've been clean for months.

Maybe he was a dealer. Things change.

So where does that leave you?

It's out of my league.

That's not even in the cinemas yet.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hello.

Eh?

I still can't believe he's gone.

David saw Rob yesterday.

He was angry.

I tried to make him see you have to ask questions.

It's all routine, isn't it?

We've been looking into your husband's affairs, Mrs Tyzack.

When did you last visit any caravan site you said your husband owned?

I don't know. Not for ages. Why?

But you have visited them?

Well, not really.

I've driven past. Or waited in the car if Bernie had to call in.

He had managers in them. I never got involved.

Seafield and Manor Haven, the two sites near Perranporth...

Yes?

Your husband had no connection to them at all.

What?

That's impossible.

I'm afraid not. We've checked.

Woodmead Leisure Homes, on the other hand...

When did you last go there?

I don't know.

Do you know Angie Kane?

Who's she?

She manages Woodmead.

Oh. No.

She also has convictions for prostitution.

It seems several mobile homes at Woodmead were used as a brothel.

Your husband must have been fully aware of it.

What are you saying?

Your husband was receiving housing benefit

for several Woodmead tenants.

He didn't have tenants. They're holiday caravans.

'Fraid not, Mrs Tyzack.

If you saw Woodmead, you'd realise that no holidaymaker would go there.

No.

Bernie wouldn't lie to me.

You've no idea how he earned a living?

He worked really hard.

He's been doing better and better.

We were planning a big holiday.

Florida.

Disneyland.

So where was the money coming from?

Before we go,

I'll need all your husband's bank and credit card statements.

Blackie Tremain?

Yeah. Where did you get my number?

Bernard Tyzack. Never heard of him.

Funny. I've got a log of his mobile phone calls.

He's talked to you a lot in the last two weeks.

Oh, yeah? I heard he was dead.

That's right. Do you know why?

No.

What did Tyzack want to say to you?

This is a murder investigation, yes?

No, it's 'a brilliant thriller', actually.

Ha ha.

If it's that serious, I don't want any misunderstandings.

OK.

Bernie asked me to set up a network to sell dope.

What sort of dope?

I don't know. Coke, smack...

I told him to get lost. Was he serious?

Oh, yeah. But he didn't know what he was getting into.

Where was he getting it from? I didn't ask.

So why did he come to you?

I keep my ear to the ground. I do a bit of business.

But not with that stuff. Specially here.

So who does?

So who does? All right! You know as well as I do.

My information could be out of date.

OK.

I told Bernie to let Oliver Pennick know what he was up to.

And now Bernie's dead.

Now, if you don't mind,

you're scaring away my customers.

Are we ruling Mrs Tyzack out as a suspect?

Not entirely. Not yet.

Many a wife would like to teach her husband a lesson.

But I'm inclined to believe she's genuine.

Why would Tyzack have lied to her?

Maybe he just drifted into fraud and the rest

through debt and bad management.

He probably didn't have the courage to tell her.

Doug, how did you get on? Pretty good.

Tyzack may have been trying to set up a local drugs network.

That makes a perfect link to Seenan. Right.

So was Seenan sent to scare Tyzack for treading on the wrong toes?

Only Oliver Pennick's toes.

Be great to nail him at last.

It certainly would.

Let's not get too excited.

We don't know yet where Tyzack was getting all his money.

A few bogus caravan tenants won't buy a Mercedes

or take the family to Florida - let alone fund a major drugs deal.

Lucy, you'll look into Tyzack's finances?

It'll take me a while. And Doug...

Let's talk to Seenan again.

If we mention Pennick, he'll crack.

No. First let's see what Pennick's up to now.

And Mrs Tyzack may yield something.

This is what he's left us.

He was a good man.

But this is what he's left us with.

Did you find Pennick? No. He's out of town, apparently.

Not surprised.

Seems he's been away for weeks.

Well, we'll get the story out of Seenan eventually.

I'm off to eat. Want anything?

No, thanks. I've got a boil-in-the-bag at home.

See you in the morning.

I'll finish this when I get back.

They won't pay someone overtime when I do it for nothing.

PHONE RINGS

Yes - Kersey.

What - now?

Yeah, OK.

(BANGING) I wanna see Mr Kersey!

I gotta talk to him!

Says he won't stop till he sees you. Is that OK with you?

All yours. I want peace and quiet.

Can't you shut him up? I wanna see him now!

Get him down here now!

(BANGING)

On your bunk.

All yours.

OK, Mick, what is it? I've got a home to go to.

I got to talk to someone. I'm going mad.

I'm not the Samaritans, Michael.

No, I know.

If you want to talk to me, we should get your solicitor in.

No. None of that. I just want someone to talk to.

We go back a long way, Mr Kersey.

Yeah. Too long.

When my son was born, I changed.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I haven't touched nothing in months.

I've been living off my giro.

It's not easy. I stay indoors. Nothing to do.

But honest to God, that's the way it's been.

What do you want - a medal?

No! No...

I know I done bad. But you don't know what it's like.

I've never had a holiday.

Never owned a car that wasn't bent.

I want a life like other people's. Like yours.

There's no going back now.

You're in court tomorrow for murder.

It was an accident, Mr Kersey.

You know I'd never go out to kill anyone.

You can put in a word for me.

No. There's nothing I can do, mate.

Unless you tell us who put you up to it.

Joey's the best thing I know.

Now I'll never see him again.

So who told you to wave a knife in Tyzack's face?

Come on, I know who you used to score from.

What if he goes after my girlfriend?

That's your problem.

Just stop the banging, will you? Please!

You've got to help me!

I'm gonna lose Joey!

I might as well do myself in right here and now.

Keep your head down, Mick. Do your time.

You're good at that.

I'm looking at a life sentence!

So give me a name.

It's easy. We probably know it already.

Look, we know Tyzack had ambitions as a dealer.

So it's obvious who'd want to warn him off, isn't it, eh?

I can't.

OK. OK. I'm off home for my supper.

But I tell you, there's no way you're going home.

Sergeant!

I've wasted my life, haven't I?

I've never done anything right.

Just give me a name.

I can't.

OK, Mick. Have it your way.

But if I was you, I'd give up.

It only prolongs the torment, mate.

DOOR BANGS SHUT

Keep an eye on him, will you?

Right, sir.

Thanks for shutting him up.

# JAZZ IMPROVISATION

# My Funny Valentine

David's really upset, you know.

Ruth, as well.

It's not just the death.

It's the part you play.

I'm just doing my job.

They've always been so proud of you.

Solving crimes. Locking up criminals.

Now David sees it's not that simple.

(STOPS PLAYING) He's right.

Young Rob's going to have to face a few unpleasant truths about his dad.

Poor Rob.

Poor Trisha.

Talking about the Tyzacks?

Mm-hm.

Can you tell me more about it now?

We know that Mr Tyzack was attacked for a reason.

Maybe he was trying to muscle in on somebody else's racket.

So he was bent?

Something you'll learn, David.

We don't get to know very much about people.

Even people we're close to.

Doesn't it bother you, all that stuff?

I don't like it. But it's a necessary part of my job.

Is that all?

If I let it get to me, I wouldn't be able to function as a policeman.

And that's what's important - functioning as a policeman?

PHONE RINGS

Lane.

What?!

OK, OK - I'm on my way.

In here, ma'am.

Sir, Dr Franks is in there now.

This is a bad business, Charles. Very bad.

It should have been prevented.

He's been in and out of prison all his life.

He wasn't new to this.

Any murder detainee is a suicide risk.

What are the bruises on his face?

He had those when he was brought in.

I hope you can explain anything else I find.

I can give you time of death within a couple of hours.

It might show if anyone troubled to check on a vulnerable prisoner.

Excuse me.

So... what's gone wrong, Charles?

If there's been any sloppiness, we'll take the blame.

Yes, sir.

Sgt Cannon will stay on duty for the time being.

We've no-one to replace him.

I'll review his case every seven days until the complaints inquiry.

Now...

What about Kersey?

Doug talked to Seenan in the cell...

..just before 6:30, then went home.

Where's the record in his book?

Not done, I'm afraid, sir.

He apparently intended to do it in the morning.

I'm considering suspending him.

Well, I'll take him off this case, obviously, sir, but...

I see no reason to suspend him.

The buck stops with us, Charles.

We're the facilitators. The team leaders.

If Kersey has a problem aligning his individual behaviour to our aims,

then we mustn't be afraid of constructive change.

DI Kersey responded to the prisoner asking for a few words.

Sgt Cannon made at least two more checks on Seenan after Kersey left.

He apparently saw no reason for concern.

How does that implicate Kersey in Seenan's suicide?

All right, Charles. I'm not advocating a slash-and-burn policy.

So long as you're happy.

But I am determined this investigation be seen

as a model of openness and thoroughness.

I think we can both agree on that, sir.

I'm happy to take responsibility for Doug Kersey.

Good.

Sir.

The DCC was gunning to have you suspended.

And...?

I told him you're off the Tyzack case.

And he's let it go at that for now.

Thank you, sir. Will I follow up -

Where are your notes of the talk with Seenan?

I've just finished them now, sir.

I was knackered earlier. I just wanted to get home.

I was planning to do them first thing, but obviously...

What was the talk about?

He felt sorry for himself. Wanted a shoulder to cry on.

And did you give it to him?

I've dealt with Seenan often enough. He knew the score.

Did you tell the Custody Sergeant Seenan was anxious and depressed?

Yes. But I was intent on getting him to name Pennick, say who set him up.

Well, we'll never know now, will we?

I have leant on wasters like him and been commended for getting a result,

not put in the dock for harsh words.

Doug, this is a death in custody. We're all accountable.

Oh, I see.

I get it.

The DCC wants a fall guy. Good old Mr Stevens.

He'll sort everything out.

If you handled Seenan badly -

Who could know what would happen?

You should have known! He was your prisoner!

You should have been ahead of him all the way.

I told you what happened.

Don't you believe me?

Doug, you're going to be accused of a serious lack of judgment...

Slackness. Putting undue pressure on a vulnerable prisoner...

And you've blown our chance to solve Tyzack's murder!

You'll have to explain all that.

To me. Never mind anyone else.

Don't worry. It'll turn out all right.

Yes, yes. I know, I know.

You've always trusted Doug.

Yes, but last night I wasn't getting through to him.

Yeah?

I worry he's getting fixed in his thinking.

Losing the subtleties.

There was always a danger with Doug

of it becoming a case of 'us and them'. You know?

Order and chaos. Good and evil.

And he sees himself as the last line of defence.

I wonder sometimes what he's so afraid of.

You will talk to David?

Do I need to?

I think it's time he got to know you.

Can I get back to you on that?

Great. Thanks.

Hi.

Well, I'm getting nowhere slowly.

How are you?

Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, yeah.

Here. The file on Oliver Pennick.

I'm off the case. Did you know?

Not officially, no.

Stevens wants heads on spikes at the gate to show strong leadership.

Do you blame him?

There's other ways to do things.

Anything useful?

Not really.

A report that Pennick was Seenan's dealer, but had no link with Tyzack.

How firm is your source on Pennick?

I'm drawing a blank with this lot.

If Tyzack was dealing, where's the money?

Don't worry. You're OK. You're fine.

Everyone knows whose fault it is this case is going nowhere.

Doug!

Hello, sir.

How is she?

She's been going through everything. Even in the attic.

Trying to make sense of it all, I think.

Has she come up with anything? I don't think so. She is in?

Yeah.

Morning, Mrs Tyzack.

Rob...

What is it? What have you found out now?

I'm afraid there's been a very regrettable development.

Mick Seenan, the man charged with your husband's murder,

committed suicide in his cell last night.

But it was him? He did do it?

We're perfectly satisfied he stabbed your husband, yes.

That's it, then?

No trial? No verdict? Nothing?

We won't be closing the case just yet.

We believe he was in conspiracy.

Who with? What's going on?

I can't tell you at this stage, I'm sorry.

You come here and tell us these terrible things about my dad.

Now it's all for nothing, anyway.

You let that man kill himself!

It's not Mr Wycliffe's fault, Rob.

Yes, it is!

Why do you have to drag us through all this?

I understand how you must feel, Rob.

It must seem very unfair, very painful, I know.

But it's my job to uncover the facts.

Well, I'm glad.

I loved Bernie. Even if he was a crook.

Makes no difference. I still want him to walk back in the door.

But I'm not being made to look an idiot.

I want to know exactly what was going on.

Sorry.

Just a hunch. The landlord at the Market Inn may know something

but wouldn't speak ill of the dead.

May be worth you trying him.

OK.

Thanks.

Superintendent Le Page is investigating Seenan's death in custody.

I've said you will co-operate fully.

Of course.

Dr Franks' report seems quite straightforward.

Good.

Seenan had been arrested before?

Yes. Many times. But never on so serious a charge.

Do you think this crime weighed on his mind?

Possibly. He never seemed to be naturally aggressive.

But I think the consequences to himself bothered him.

You'll be winding up the Tyzack inquiry now?

Not quite yet.

Someone put Seenan up to assault Tyzack.

There's still a possibility of conspiracy charges.

No loose ends, now, Charles.

Let's tie all this up. Clear the board.

Conspiracy's notoriously hard to prove.

Especially without the key witness.

I'm not sure. It was only gossip.

We'd still like to know. If there's no truth in it, no harm done.

What about his family if the press get hold of it?

Let us be the judge of that.

Well, it's not much.

And the guy's not here to defend himself, is he?

But... I heard he was into dodgy films.

What, pornography?

No, Hollywood. You know, all the latest titles. Cheap copies.

Pirate videos!

Yeah. Makes sense, though.

Him and his mate always had money.

His mate?

Yeah. Blackie Tremain.

Trisha Tyzack's found something down at the caravan park.

She's in this one, sir.

She asked you to come here with her? Yes, sir.

Bernie may have lied to me.

But I still knew him better than anyone.

What have you found, Mrs Tyzack?

His accounts. He always was meticulous.

Whatever he was up to, it's all here, for sure.

And here...

Take a look at this.

Why?

What's it all for?

What more did he want, to get himself killed for it?

What's the cash from, ma'am? Drugs?

No. Pirate videos. But there's thousands here.

Well, an efficient operation can easily make up to £5,000 a week.

Set up a warehouse somewhere with 50 or 100 video machines.

Most of those you can get cheap from burglaries.

Tape the latest movies on satellite.

Easy enough to sell, I suppose.

Boot fairs, corner shops, garages.

Tyzack's problem was what to do with the profits.

Specially since his wife never knew. Keep an eye on that lot.

ROB: Maybe a trial would have sorted it out.

It seems we can't really bury him - cos we didn't know him.

And anyway, who are we burying?

My dad - or some local villain?

It would have been better if Seenan had topped himself at the start.

Then you wouldn't have known all this.

I'm not sure.

Even if I'd known the truth, I suppose I'd still have loved him.

He was still my dad.

That's how Mum feels, anyway.

But I'll never know for certain if I'd have gone on liking him or not.

That's what's really hard.

Not knowing.

LANE: Will Doug pull through this Seenan business OK?

It's a serious matter.

He can be his own worst enemy sometimes.

I know.

Here we go.

Blackie Tremain?

Who are you?

Det Insp Lane. This is Det Sup Wycliffe.

Superintendent! Not my tax disc out of date, then?

A bit more serious, I'm afraid, Blackie.

You told Insp Kersey that Tyzack wanted to get into drug dealing.

That's right. Bernie wanted to get into the big time.

I told him he was off his head.

That if you lot didn't get him, Pennick would.

And he did, didn't he?

Did what, Mr Tremain?

Got Seenan to kill him. Obvious.

Seenan was a user. They stick together, those people.

You seem to know a lot about it.

All right...

Let's say Pennick wanted to kill Tyzack.

Why would he use an amateur like Seenan?

Seenan was frightened of him.

Owed him money.

And you knew that, didn't you?

And you took advantage of it.

What do you mean? It was Pennick.

Pennick has been out of town for weeks.

Mr Tremain, we have financial papers showing you and Tyzack were equal partners.

This was his side of the operation - duplicating the movies.

You distributed them.

You must have thought you'd found the golden goose.

No police breathing down your neck.

No big prison sentence if you were caught.

More cash than you knew how to handle.

Then Tyzack decided he wanted to move into drug dealing.

That threatened this little business.

All he had to do was tell Trisha.

She wouldn't have minded.

Clothes. Holidays. New house.

It would have been easy.

But no. He had to stash it all away.

It drove him mad. Said all he could do was re-invest. And you couldn't risk that.

Seenan wasn't meant to kill him.

But he was a junkie. He was unreliable.

So when you got him to threaten Tyzack,

you implied it was on Pennick's orders because, as you say,

he was terrified of Pennick. Right?

I told you... he wasn't meant to kill him,

just let him see what these people can be like.

What are they like, Blackie?

OK, so you think these bent videos do no harm.

But two people are dead because of you!

You can't put Seenan down to me.

His death was caused by your lot.

And you can't get me for Bernie.

You can't even prove that I even spoke to Mick Seenan.

So what have you got? Ta-dah!

A bunch of dodgy videos.

Well, take them!

And nick me!

Well done, Charles. Good work.

Nothing like a bit of damage limitation.

Shall I expect further charges?

Only for the video piracy, sir.

Without Seenan, we haven't got much else.

But we'll see how far we can get.

Focus on team excellence, Charles.

Performance and motivation are their own reward.

Yes, sir.

David.

Dad.

Your mum said I'd find you down here.

She said you saw Rob today.

Did she send you to talk to me?

Not exactly, no.

I don't know how you can go round upsetting people's lives for a living, and not mind.

Is that how you see it?

Rob's never going to get over this. I don't see what good you've done.

Would Rob have been better off

if he'd gone on believing in a father who didn't exist?

It's not my job to decide that for him.

Life's not that simple.

Well, I wouldn't want to do your job.

I don't assign blame.

I'm not responsible for the results of people's actions, either.

I don't even expect to understand people's motives.

I just aim for clarity.

And that makes it worthwhile?

I suppose it fulfils something in me, yes.

If you got to choose again, would you still be a detective?

No.

I'd be Oscar Peterson.

Oh, no!
