Hannah Taylor, 18.

Abducted from her home
on the 2nd of April, 1992.

Two days later, her mother received
a ransom demand for £20,000.

The ransom was paid,
but Hannah wasn't returned.

About three weeks
later, Michelle Davis, 19.

She is abducted as she returns
home from a night out with friends.

Neither girl's seen
nor heard of again.

Hannah and Michelle
lived five streets apart.

There's no evidence to suggest
that they knew each other.

But given the geography and the
MO, we have to work on the basis

that the perpetrator
was the same.

Now, the original investigation
drew a blank but in 1998,

forestry workers discovered a
decomposed body in Epping Forest.

And DNA samples on file from the original
investigation showed it to be Hannah Taylor.

However, last month,
an inspection reveals

that a technician at the lab that conducted
the DNA tests wasn't following procedure.

He mixed up the
girls' DNA samples.

The body isn't Hannah
Taylor, it's Michelle Davis.

Ah, the wonders
of modern science.

Michelle Davis's abduction
is now a murder inquiry,

and I'll be leading
the murder squad.

We have to assume that
Hannah met with the same fate,

so in tandem with the
investigation led by DI Wilson,

UCOS will be re-examining
the Hannah Taylor abduction.

Now, although they're
separate investigations,

the two teams will share
any relevant information.

Maybe you'd like to share
your insight with the rest of us.

Uh, no, thanks,
sorry. It's all right.

No, please.

We're all dying to know
what your years of experience

and razor-sharp
minds have deduced.

Your flies are undone.

♪ It's all right, it's okay

♪ Doesn't really matter
if you're old and grey

♪ It's all right,
I say, it's okay

♪ Listen to what I say

♪ It's all right, doing fine

♪ Doesn't really matter
if the sun don't shine

♪ It's all right,
I say, it's okay

♪ We're getting to
the end of the day ♪

Mature, professional, a really
impressive display. Well done.

- Always check your flies before a briefing.
- Yeah, first rule of police work.

- Especially if you're in a room full of WPCs.
- Thank you.

Finished? Right.

I need one of you to act as a liaison
officer with DI Wilson and his team.

- Never been big on liaising.
- If it's a liaison you're after, Gerry's your man.

- Me? Work with that prat?
- Nicely volunteered, Gerry. Thank you.

Finding Hannah's body
would be a good start.

I'm sure they'll be
very happy together.

- Good morning, all.
- Good morning.

How was the briefing?

- Yes, very revealing.
- I'm sure DI Wilson valued your input.

- Sandra, can I have a word?
- Yeah, of course.

Excuse us, then.

Sorry.

The misidentification of
the body as Hannah Taylor.

Family Liaison have informed
her mother, Madeline Taylor.

But the legal boys reckon
it's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

So far, she's been very understanding,
but we need to treat Madeline Taylor...

As a potential suspect?

I was thinking more as a distraught
parent who could take us to the cleaners.

Tread carefully. I know I can
trust you to do it by the book.

- Of course.
- Good.

It looks like a perfect sailing day. Maybe
I'll skive off early and take the boat out.

I didn't know you had a boat.

You know what they say about
all work and no play, Sandy.

"Sandy"?

Um...

Apparently I'm your liaison.

Right. What do we know
about Hannah Taylor?

Well, the night she was abducted, she
had been drinking in The White Horse

with a friend
called Suzie Blatch.

At about 8:00, the barman
claims she and Suzie had a row.

Hannah stormed out. A neighbour
saw her come home alone about 8:20,

and that was the last sighting.

Two days later, her mother
received the ransom note.

- Parent details?
- Divorced.

Father's a Stephen
Taylor, neurosurgeon.

Working in Chicago at
the time of the kidnapping.

Mother's Dr Madeline Taylor, GP.

She was the police duty doctor
at Edgware nick, '86 to '92.

According to Suzie Blatch, Madeline
Taylor was also an abusive alcoholic,

- or in her words, "an evil bitch".
- Sounds like a model parent.

Okay. Brian, we'll start
with Madeline Taylor.

Jack, see if you can
locate this Suzie Blatch.

"Enter victim's
weight in kilograms."

Well, Hannah was nine stone.

What's nine stone in kilograms?

Toby, give granddad
a hand, would you?

Or it's gonna be another 1 3
years before we solve this case.

Oh!

Put the kettle on, Mary, love.
I'm going to be joining you soon.

Suzie Blatch? My
name's Jack Halford.

I'm from the Metropolitan Police's
Unsolved Crime and Open Case initiative.

What's this about?

When Hannah left the pub,
it was the last time I saw her.

Did you see anyone
follow her from the pub?

Not that I noticed.

At the time, the barman said that you and
she seemed to be having a bit of an argument.

Hannah's mum was getting worse.

- Worse?
- Drinking.

Sometimes she
used to hit Hannah.

I was trying to get Hannah
to report her to the police.

She wouldn't?

She didn't want to hear it.

- Oh, bloody hell.
- Will you pack that in?

It's these corns. Giving me jip.

- I should get Dr Taylor to have a look at them.
- You even mention your feet, I'll chop 'em off.

Oh, please.

Dr Taylor, I'm Superintendent Sandra Pullman,
and this is my colleague, Brian Lane.

Hello.

- Come through.
- Thank you.

So you're reopening the case?

Well, actually, the
case was never closed.

We're re-examining it in
light of recent developments.

Recent developments?

The body being wrongly
identified as Hannah.

- I'm sorry, that must've been terrible for you.
- I'm not sure it really changes anything.

We'd like to go over certain
aspects of your statement again.

At the time, you said that you
didn't realise Hannah was missing

until you received a telephone
call demanding a ransom.

She was 18. I'd no idea where
she was from one day to the next.

She was abducted from your home.
There was no sign of a struggle?

- Not that I noticed.
- That didn't strike you as odd?

What, odd that my daughter was abducted, or
odd that there was no sign of a struggle?

And you didn't contact the police
until after you'd paid the ransom

and Hannah wasn't returned?

No. That's right, the
kidnapper asked me not to.

And I wanted Hannah back.

No unidentified bodies
that match Hannah Taylor.

No abductions or
murders with a similar MO.

So tell me, what would
you have done in your day?

In my day,

we would have beaten a confession
out of whoever we fancied for it,

then gone down
the pub. Job done.

Hannah's father put
up the ransom money.

- You were divorced at the time?
- Yeah.

Do you know where we
can contact your ex-husband?

He's dead. He
died five years ago.

Car crash.

His new wife was driving.

Looks like he should've
stuck with me after all.

And you delivered the
ransom money yourself?

That's right.

I left it in a bin
in Preston Park.

Suzie Blatch, Hannah's friend, suggested
you and she had a difficult relationship.

I was drinking heavily at the time,
if that's what you're trying to ask.

How long have you been sober?

I joined AA two months after Hannah
was taken. I've been sober ever since.

After you'd been drinking, were
you ever violent towards Hannah?

Did you come here just to ask me questions
that you already know the answer to?

What's it say in your file?

There are suggestions that
you physically abused Hannah.

What you're really trying to ask me
is whether I murdered my daughter.

The answer is no.

Are you following me?

When someone takes off in a
hurry after a visit from the police,

it usually means they've
got something to hide.

Suzie? What is it?

Hello, Hannah.

God help her patients if
that's her bedside manner.

Jack.

What?

Suzie claims Hannah just turned up
on her doorstep about four years ago.

We've got Hannah's husband,
Paul Watkins, down the corridor.

See what he has to say for
himself. Brian, you're with me.

It's like meeting a ghost.

Mum was drinking more than ever.

We were fighting all the
time. I'd just had enough.

I ran away.

So you're saying you
weren't kidnapped?

Did you tell anyone
you were going?

I left a note for my mum.

And what did the note say?

Just that I was going, that
I wouldn't be coming back,

and not to look for me.

Did you see any publicity about
your supposed abduction at the time?

I'd met up with some travellers
and we hung out at all the festivals.

It's not like you watch
the evening news.

I only found out about the
kidnapping when I contacted Suzie.

And yet you didn't go to the police
to let them know you were alive?

Well, I didn't think anyone
would still be looking for me.

I'd met Paul at Glastonbury.

And not long after, I
was pregnant with Alice.

- I had a new life.
- And what about your mother?

My mother?

Didn't you think she'd
want to know you were safe?

You think I wanted
her back in my life?

I wouldn't let her come within
a million miles of my daughter.

After you went missing, the police
made an inventory of your things.

You didn't take much with
you when you ran away.

Well, it wasn't exactly
a well thought out plan.

I was a mess. I
wasn't thinking straight.

Did you fake your own kidnapping
to collect the ransom money?

No.

£20,000 would've come in
very handy on the festival circuit.

I made and sold bead bracelets.

If I'd wanted money, I'd
have asked my dad for it.

Did you contact your
father after you ran away?

I thought about it, but

he's got a new life, too.

Mum drove us both away.

I'm afraid I have some
very bad news for you.

Your father died five
years ago in a car accident.

I'm sorry.

Come on. Ask her if
she knew Michelle Davis.

Why don't you just shut up and
listen? You might learn something.

You do realise I outrank you?

You don't. I'm not
in the job anymore.

But when I was, we had
a guvnor, DAC Bevan.

He outranked me.

I broke his jaw.

Maybe we should wrap this up
for now. But there is one more thing.

When you were living at home,

do you remember a girl
called Michelle Davis?

I don't think so. Who is she?

She lived near you.

She was abducted about three
weeks after your disappearance,

and her body was
incorrectly identified as yours.

You thought it was me?

I'd never met her.

Looks like you're on your own.

You all right?

- What've you been saying to her?
- Paul, it's all right.

- Will you tell my mum you found me?
- We'll have to.

- But you don't have to tell her where we are?
- No, not if you don't want me to.

I don't want her knowing anything
about us. Do you understand?

Yeah.

We may have further questions,
in which case we'll be in touch.

Questions about what?

There was a ransom demand and
your father paid it. That's extortion.

She isn't drinking anymore.

Your mother.

She stopped after you left.

Thirteen years and not a word?

Any of my kids pulled a stunt
like that, I'd track them down

- and wring their sodding necks.
- Very touching, Gerry.

I don't know which is worse.

Telling a parent
their child is dead,

or telling a parent their child would
rather they thought they were dead.

According to Hannah, her mother should
know she's alive from the note Hannah left.

Madeline Taylor's on her way
home. We'll meet her there.

It'll be interesting to see her reaction
when we tell her we found Hannah.

Hold on.

What are we investigating now?

Extortion, deception,
wasting police time.

What, you think that Madeline
Taylor faked Hannah's abduction?

A woman scorned.

Get Hannah's father to put up
the ransom money, collect 20 grand.

And the credit check in the case file says that
Madeline was up to her eyes in debt at the time.

Do you know something?

I've got a mate who might
have been working up at Edgware

when Madeline Taylor
was duty doctor there.

Well, it might be worth having a chat, see
if he remembers anything. We should go.

Blimey, you boys off home for your
slippers and your hot milky drinks?

If you'd found out who
murdered Michelle Davis,

you'd be able to do
the same thing, sonny.

See ya.

- Excuse me.
- Come on.

Dr Taylor, this is going to
come as a big shock to you

after everything
you've been through,

but this afternoon, we
discovered that Hannah is still alive.

No, she can't be.

I questioned her earlier today.

No, no.

No, how can you
be sure it's her?

- You're absolutely sure?
- Yeah, we're absolutely certain.

I don't understand.
How can she...

How can she be alive?

Hannah says that she ran away.

- She was kidnapped.
- She says she doesn't know anything about that.

This is insane.

What about the ransom
demand? The money?

We're still investigating the
circumstances surrounding that.

Where has she been?

She started a
new life for herself.

Where?

I'm afraid I can't
tell you that.

- Surely I've got a right to know...
- I know this is very difficult...

- Just tell me where she is.
- I'm sorry. I can't.

Ah.

She doesn't want to see me.

Very sorry.

Is there anyone
you'd like to call?

I'd like you to leave now.

I'm asking you to leave.

Do you think she knew
Hannah was alive?

She's a good actress if she did.

But then she'd need to be to
fake her daughter's kidnapping.

Come on. I'll buy
you a takeaway.

I don't remember Mark
having a fancy dress party.

Oh, it's his fifth birthday.

- Oh, you were probably working.
- What, on his birthday?

You were always working.

I've been some
father, haven't I?

Where did that spring from?

This case. A
mother and daughter.

The mother used to drink.

It started me thinking.

Well, as long as it is
thinking and not obsessing.

Yeah, that's just it, isn't it?

An obsessive alcoholic workaholic
with mental health issues?

I'm hardly a model parent.

Perhaps not.

There's worse fathers out there.

Is that the best you
could say about me?

Don't be silly.

You get on fine now.

I'm going to stick the
kettle on. Do you want one?

Poor kid.

Little sod!

Esther! My son's in a
bloody Arsenal shirt!

Esther!

Have you any idea what
that's doing to your arteries?

I'm more worried about
losing one of my balls.

Eh?

How often do you
check for lumps?

Excuse me, I didn't
buy you breakfast

so we could discuss how often
you fondle the crown jewels.

So why are you
buying me breakfast?

In the early '90s, you were
up at Edgware, weren't you?

- Yeah.
- So do you remember a duty doctor,

Madeline Taylor?

Madeline Taylor.

- Daughter got snatched?
- That's right.

Liked to drink.

- Used to wear her skirts right up to...
- Sounds nice.

- You know who you want to talk to?
- No.

- Do you remember Simon Webb?
- Sort of.

- Rumour was he was shagging Madeline Taylor.
- Really?

Runs a kitchen showroom
out in Wanstead somewhere.

- Cheers.
- So...

Sandra Pullman.

Is she as hard as they say?

Don't you worry
about your lumps.

One look from her can
shrivel your balls from 50 yards.

Enjoy your breakfast.

You wanted to see me?

Superintendent Pullman, David
Reynolds of the Met's legal team.

- Hello.
- How do you do?

I'm afraid we have a problem.

Madeline Taylor's suing?

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this
could be very damaging for our department,

not to say very costly.

But she's suing over the
misidentification of the body?

Yes, and your investigation will
establish whether she has a case.

- If Madeline Taylor faked Hannah's kidnapping...
- We don't know that.

But she's a suspect, correct?

Well, yeah.

Well, then we need to
prove it one way or the other.

And with this lawsuit
hanging over us,

David's to accompany you whenever
you or a member of your team

- speak to Madeline Taylor.
- Call me.

Day or night.

- Is this really necessary?
- It's absolutely necessary.

If things go pear-shaped, heads
could roll. Just make sure it's not ours.

We need a result, Sandra.

I think that's all.

"Oh, Gerry, nobody's ever
done that to me before."

What's that?

"Congratulations on finding
Hannah Taylor. DI Wilson."

- Denture polish?
- Pile cream?

Oh, magic. I've just run out.

- Save a trip to the chemist.
- The bleeding cheek.

I haven't got a filling
in me head. Look.

If you had a white one,
you'd have a snooker set.

DI Wilson needs
teaching a lesson.

I am in bloody good nick, mate.

Oh, yes, in your prime.

Okay. Madeline Taylor's suing.

So we've got to find out who faked Hannah's
kidnapping and collected the ransom money.

What've we got? Brian?

'89 to '92, several complaints were
lodged at the General Medical Council

by patients of Madeline Taylor.

Claims of medical negligence. Patients
alleging they smelled alcohol on her breath.

Nothing was ever proved.

Unblemished record ever since.

Maybe she used the ransom
money to pay off one of her patients,

stop them shopping her.

There's somebody else
she could've been paying off.

In 1991, she was
stopped for drunk driving.

She gave a positive breath test.

There was no mention of
a conviction in the case file.

Because there was no conviction.

At the station, the Custody
Officer gave her another test.

- Suddenly Madeline is as sober as a judge.
- Reading was rigged.

Maybe her boyfriend had a
word with the Custody Officer.

I had breakfast this morning with
my mate who used to work at Edgware

when she was duty doctor there.

Rumour has it she was shagging
a married DI. Simon Webb.

- Shall I have a word?
- Yeah, you and Jack.

Brian, go and see Hannah.

Now, apart from the note, see if there's
any other way that Madeline could've known

that Hannah left voluntarily.

- Mum, you're such a doofus.
- You're the doofus. Doofus.

Hello again.

Go see if your dad needs a hand.

So what's a doofus, then?

Oh, right.

I want to talk to you about the
note you left when you ran away.

- What about it?
- Well, your mother claims she didn't find it.

Do you think she could've known you'd
run away from something you took with you,

something you wouldn't
leave home without?

Well, if she didn't
notice I was missing,

she's hardly going to notice
that some of my stuff was gone.

Is there any way she could've
missed seeing the note?

You mean other than her
being pissed out of her head?

You don't know what she was like.
People like her don't deserve to have kids.

Come in.

- Any chance of a quick word?
- Yeah, sure.

- I just want to ask your advice.
- Is this about Michelle Davis?

Yeah.

Aren't you supposed to
go to Strickland for advice?

On your first murder
inquiry, would you?

Okay, what's the problem?

Hello there.

Sorry, why are you still here?

I thought I might buy a plant.

This is difficult enough for Hannah.
She doesn't need you hanging around.

No, no, no, I'll just
get a plant and go.

Fine.

- What sort of thing were you after?
- Something that's difficult to kill.

Is it true what they say
about talking to plants?

Probably better for the person
doing the talking than the plant.

- Hannah says you met at Glastonbury.
- Yeah, that's right.

- So what, that must have been '92?
- Yeah.

'92. Who was playing that year?

Loads of people. I don't
know, long time ago.

Last gig I went to
must've been '68.

Tom Jones. Swansea.
Knickers everywhere.

If you're after difficult to kill, then
a cactus is probably a good bet.

So who wants to come
home with me, then?

Once you lose the
link to Hannah Taylor,

Michelle Davis's stepfather comes
into the frame as a potential killer.

But he's got an alibi. Sarah
Davis, Michelle's mum,

claims he didn't leave the house
the night Michelle disappeared.

I don't know. Maybe there's
something I'm missing.

Let me have a look at the transcripts
of the interview with Michelle's mother.

Whoa!

Now that's what I
call a wok burner.

You ought to get something
like this for your place.

What'd you want
to do? Cremate me?

Gerry Standing.

- Long time, eh?
- Yes.

Simon Webb, Jack Halford.

- Jack.
- How are you?

So, you in the market, are you?

Probably do you a
very nice discount.

Just look at this.

Self-closing. German
craftsmanship.

Is there anything the Germans
don't do better than us?

Comedy.

So, what can I do for you gents?

Madeline Taylor.

Duty doctor up at Edgware
when you were stationed there.

Rings a bell.

Rings a bell.

So it should, seeing as
you were shagging her.

Look, whatever this is about,

- I want to keep my wife out of it.
- I'll bet you do.

Do you remember Hannah,
Madeline's daughter, abducted in '92?

Mmm-hmm.

She's alive.

- You're kidding.
- No.

Says she just ran away.
Did a disappearing act.

We think Madeline Taylor may
have faked Hannah's kidnapping

to extort money
from Hannah's father.

No. No way.

No. Gerry, trust me, you're
barking up the wrong tree.

Well, give us a
reason to trust you.

Well, I expect Madeline
will tell you so...

I know she paid the ransom

because I delivered it for her.

Without making it official?

You prat.

Come on, get your coat. We're
going for a nice walk in the park.

No, it's not something you've
missed, it's your approach.

Her daughter was murdered.

You went in too hard, scared
her, and she just clammed up.

- Well, she should be scared.
- Not of you, she shouldn't.

And of course she can't accept
that her husband was involved,

because then that would
mean destroying her family.

Well, what do you suggest?

Go and see her on your own. Obviously,
make sure the husband isn't around,

put a photograph of Michelle in
front of her, make her look at it,

let her know you understand
how difficult it is for her,

and then ask her what Michelle
was like when she was growing up.

Yeah, but there aren't any
photographs of Michelle in the house.

'Cause she'd have
been trying to block it out.

But I think she'll find it
quite hard to lie to herself

now that she knows that
Michelle is definitely dead.

Okay.

Well, I was drinking too much,

working too hard.

So was Madeline.

And it just sort of happened.

Oh, Christ, you
know what it's like.

And then when Hannah
got snatched, well...

Madeline, she... she didn't
have anybody else, so...

Well, I stayed with her until I
thought that she could cope on her own

and then I got out.

This is it.

The 20 grand was
in a carrier bag.

Just shoved the whole
thing down to the bottom

and I walked away.

Did you see anyone
hanging around?

This is a public park. There are
lots of people hanging around.

You were a copper. You
wouldn't just walk away.

- It's what Madeline wanted.
- Maybe you and Madeline were in on it together.

Give me a break.

Did you get her off the
drink driving charge as well?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

All I know is I put
the money in this bin.

The next day, when Hannah wasn't
returned, I came back, the money was gone.

I thought

Hannah was dead.

Well, you were
wrong, weren't you?

I hope you're good at selling kitchens
because you were a bloody lousy copper.

Come on, Gerry.

So do you think that Simon Webb and Madeline
Taylor faked the kidnapping together?

He's lying about something.

But why did she tell us that
she delivered the ransom money?

Well, maybe she feels she still
owes him for fixing that breath test.

He is still breathing, isn't he?

Where did you meet your Mary?

Brighton Pier, 5th
of August, 1961.

She wore a pink dress.

Matched the
candyfloss I bought her.

You remember the details, then?

Like it was yesterday.

How about you and Esther?

27th of October, 1965.

Finsbury Park Library.

I saw her trying to sneak a copy of
Lady Chatterley's Lover into her handbag.

I pointed out that this
was technically theft,

but I promised to let her
off if she came for a coffee.

Very smooth.

Any particular reason you ask?

Thinking.

Oi! Come on, everyone.
You've got to see this!

- Is this what we had to see? A car being towed?
- Yep.

- Why, whose is it?
- Wait and see.

Any minute now.

- Good night.
- Night.

Good night.

Hey, that's my car.

Stop!

Hey!

Stop! I'm a police officer!

Bye-bye!

Gerry, you really do
need to get out more.

Oh, come on, where's
your sense of humour?

Gerry.

Should you be doing
that at your age?

You wait, my body will be a
rippling mass of toned muscle.

You'll be able to bounce a
tennis ball off me stomach.

Why would I want to do that?

I spoke to Mark earlier. What's this
about you two going to football tomorrow?

Chance to spend some
quality time together.

You're being too
hard on yourself.

The fact that there's
worse fathers out there

isn't bloody good enough.

Brian, you are taking your
medication, aren't you?

It's here somewhere.

It's all about
making connections.

I've seen you somewhere before.

Bingo! See? Told you.

Morning.

- Where are you off to?
- Doctor's.

I suppose you
think that was funny?

- Have you got any idea what he's talking about?
- He had my car towed.

Don't involve me in
your pissing contest.

- How did you get on with Michelle Davis's mother?
- Yeah, I'm seeing her later.

Okay, just remember
what I said, yeah?

Mummy holding your hand, is she?

Gerry, heel!

Hi. I'd like to make an appointment
to see Dr Taylor, please.

- Your name?
- Paul. Paul Watkins.

Are you registered with us?

I thought so.

When was the last
time you saw Dr Taylor?

Oh, it's been a while. 1991.

Strong immune
system. It's in the genes.

I'll see if we've
got your notes.

See how you get on with that. Let
us know if you have any problems.

- Okay.
- Bye.

Here we go. Watkins, Paul.

I'm afraid you'll
have to re-register.

If you could just fill these in.

Do you know what?
It's the strangest thing.

I suddenly feel better.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I feel fantastic.

Well, see you in
another 14 years, then.

Ta-ra.

Gotcha.

Glastonbury Festival, 1992.

It's where Hannah
and Paul say they met.

Yet Paul couldn't remember a
single band that played that year.

- Stoned.
- Yeah, probably was, but I still don't buy it.

I did a background
check on Paul.

What's the one thing you don't do
when you're on the festival circuit?

Wash.

File a tax return.

Yet according to
the Inland Revenue,

when Paul and Hannah reckon
they were chilling out in some field,

he was working as a
landscape gardener in Bristol.

- The man believed in paying his taxes.
- They gave me his previous address.

10 Rathwell Street.

Less than five minutes' walk
from Madeline Taylor's surgery,

where Paul was
registered as a patient.

- He knew Hannah's mum?
- She was his doctor.

There's more.

10 Rathwell Street. I
recognised the address.

It's the same as Alice Simmons,

one of the patients who lodged a
complaint with the General Medical Council

about Madeline Taylor.

- So who's this Alice Simmons to Paul Watkins?
- His foster mother.

She's named as Paul's legal
guardian on his medical record.

She died in '91. Cancer.

Alice. They named
their daughter after her.

Did Hannah know Paul
before she ran away?

Well, there's only
one way to find out.

How did you get access to Paul's
medical records without a warrant?

I was hoping you weren't
going to ask me that.

I just want one case, one case
where we do things by the book.

Is that really too much to ask?

Glastonbury Festival, 1992,

where you met your husband.

That's right.

Amazing coincidence, seeing as
how your mother was his doctor.

You knew Paul before
you disappeared, didn't you?

We think you faked the kidnapping
together and took the 20,000.

- Why are you doing this?
- Where's Paul?

What's going on?
Where are you taking her?

They think we
faked the kidnapping.

- She didn't do it.
- Paul.

- Let her go.
- They can't prove anything.

What are you saying?

I abducted Hannah. Okay?
I made the ransom demand.

He's lying.

Look, I won't let you take the
blame for something you didn't do.

Don't listen to him,
he's trying to protect me.

- Jack.
- Leave her!

I want to make a confession.

The General Medical Council
knew Madeline Taylor was drinking.

They did sod all.

If she'd have done her job,

if she had been sober, they could
have caught the cancer in time.

My mum could
still be alive today.

So the reason you kidnapped
Hannah was for revenge?

No, it wasn't like that.
I mean, I didn't plan it.

Okay. Tell us how it was.

About seven months
after Mum died,

I see Madeline Taylor in a pub,
getting pissed with some of your lot.

- Our lot?
- Police.

I overheard them
celebrating solving some case.

The police are buying her drinks.
She should've been in prison.

Did you speak to her?

The next day...

I couldn't stop thinking
about her, what she'd done.

I knew where she lived.

- I went round there to confront her.
- She wasn't there,

- but Hannah was.
- Yeah.

I didn't mean to take her. I
barely remember doing it.

As soon as I got Hannah back to
my place, I realised what I'd done.

I would never have hurt her.

I'll testify. I'll say
he didn't do it.

Perjury's a serious offence.
Think about your daughter.

Who do you think
we've always thought of?

How do I explain this to her? How me
and her dad met? Why her dad's in prison?

Coffee?

If taking Hannah was such a big
mistake, why didn't you let her go?

I wanted to, but I knew
she'd be straight to the police.

I was out of me mind.

I came up with this crazy plan.

Get some ransom
money, leave the country.

I didn't even have a passport.

Hannah must've been terrified.

Yeah, of course, at first.

But she could see I was
as scared as she was.

We started talking...

We never stopped.

I'd never met anyone like her.

After a few days,

I offered to let her
go and hand myself in.

Hannah didn't want me to.

She hated her mum
as much as I did.

She wanted me to
have the money, escape.

She was free to
go, but she stayed.

Hannah stayed willingly?

Every time I went out to get
some food, I thought she'd leave.

She was always
there when I got back.

We fell for each other.

She didn't want to go home.
We knew I'd go to prison.

We left. Together.

And once we'd gone,

we stayed gone.

You left after you
collected the money?

No, we didn't collect the money.

We were sure the police would
be watching it. We were too scared.

We didn't take the money.

Hannah didn't do
anything. Please.

We've got a daughter. We
just want to be left alone.

Doesn't feel like much
of a breakthrough.

- Housekeeping, Gerry?
- Yeah, I dropped my teacup.

Thank you very much.

That was the conveyancing solicitor
who sold Webb his kitchen showroom.

Webb paid a deposit
of £20,000 in cash.

- There's your ransom money.
- We'll struggle to prove it.

So Madeline Taylor and Webb go scot-free
and poor little Paul gets banged up?

He kidnapped Hannah!

Fell in love. Got married.
Raised a daughter.

Paid his taxes.

We don't get to pick and
choose. We did our job.

Some job.

Yeah, well, it's not up for debate.
We do it by the book. And tomorrow,

I've got to present
Strickland with what we've got.

And because of us,

Madeline Taylor is in line for a hefty
compensation payout from the Met.

Oh, Strickland's going
to love us for that.

No, he can't blame us. Can he?

I don't know about anyone
else, but I need a drink.

- Yeah, I'm up for that.
- Good idea.

- Coming, Brian?
- Can't.

- Hey?
- I'm off to witness another glorious victory

by the heroic gladiators of
the mighty AFC Wimbledon.

♪ AFC Wimbledon, AFC Wimbledon

♪ AFC Wimbledon, AFC Wimbledon ♪

- Bastard referee needs shooting.
- Cheers.

- Short-sighted little Nazi. Cost us the match.
- Yeah, he's probably a copper.

Hey, watch it.

I was, er,

looking at your mum's
photo album the other day.

Your fifth birthday.

- You had a fancy dress party.
- Did I? I don't remember it.

Neither do I.

When you were growing up, I
know there were times when I...

When I wasn't much of a father.

- Dad...
- No, it's true.

I couldn't look after
meself, let alone you.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't mean I don't...

You know...

You know,

love you.

Hey.

There was another photo of
you in a sodding Arsenal shirt.

Arsenal are my second team.

Second team?

You can't have two teams.
It's like having two wives.

It's worse than
having two wives.

Maybe this is why I
don't tell you things.

Second team? Arsenal?

All right, so who's your third
team, then? Don't tell me. Chelsea.

I give up.

- Supporting Arsenal, I should bloody well hope so.
- I give up on you!

Gerry, would you say
you've been a good father?

I think I'll probably go down as a
good father, but a bad husband.

Reckon I'll go down as a
bad husband and a bad father.

It's a bit harsh,
ain't it, mate?

Go on, in you go.

- What, in the office?
- Yeah.

What do you want it for, anyway?

- Don't help, will you?
- No, I can't, mate.

It might be best if you don't
mention I'm from the Met's legal team.

And certainly don't
mention the lawsuit.

Don't worry. I'll pretend
you don't even exist.

- And thank you very much, Dr Taylor.
- Don't you dare worry.

And you come and see
me in about a week's time.

He's sound asleep. Look at him.

Hannah and Paul knew he'd go to prison,
so they decided to disappear together.

Do you remember Paul?

No.

What about his foster
mother, Alice Simmons?

Paul believed that there could've
been mistakes in her treatment.

- He felt you may have been...
- Would you excuse me, please?

This is ridiculous.

Superintendent?

You shouldn't talk to her alone.

Deputy Assistant Commissioner
Strickland gave clear orders.

Did those orders preclude
me from going to the toilet?

- Well, no, but...
- Unless you want to come in and take notes.

You all right?

It's all my fault, isn't it? Everything
that's happened, it's all down to me.

I was terrified that the kidnapping
had something to do with a patient.

Some job that I'd screwed
up because of the drink.

That's why I paid. I thought
I could make it go away.

I was stupid.

Did Simon Webb

help you to fix your
positive breath test?

Yeah.

I thought I'd be struck off.

It would've been better
for everyone if I had been.

We think Webb took
the ransom money.

Hannah and Paul say
they never collected it.

Superintendent Pullman, I
really must insist you stop this.

What's his problem?

It's your lawsuit.
You've got them worried.

Oh, I hope I haven't got you into
trouble. I really didn't mean to do that.

No, I'm fine.

Well, when you said that
Hannah didn't want to see me...

For your own daughter to hate
you that much after so much time...

I was looking for
someone to blame.

I'm not going to press
charges against Paul.

Well, I'm afraid it doesn't quite
work like that. He's broken the law.

There must be
something I can do.

- Please, will you help me?
- I can't.

I'm sorry.

Oh, shut up.

- What's happened to Gerry's desk?
- DI Wilson cut it in half.

- And where's Gerry?
- Welding Wilson's locker shut.

I'm beginning to think those two
have got a little thing for each other.

What's this?

I'm trying to find a way to prove
that Webb took that ransom money

but I think I'm
fighting a losing battle.

You know, sometimes
this job really sucks.

As opposed to being a sewerage
worker or a bomb disposal expert?

Truth is, the job is
what you make it.

- Superintendent Pullman?
- Yeah?

I think you should see this.

Michelle Davis's stepfather.
He's just confessed to her murder.

Michelle's mother?

Well, she admitted she woke
up the night Michelle disappeared,

and her husband wasn't in bed.

- He convinced her he was out looking for Michelle.
- She convinced herself it was true.

- Congratulations.
- Well, thanks for the advice.

Your collar.

And by the way, it turns out Michelle's
stepfather read about Hannah Taylor at the time.

He lied about receiving a ransom demand
to make us think there was a connection.

Then I suppose
there was, in a way.

Hi. Dr Taylor, please.

£9,000. You could buy two of those
and still have a couple of grand left over.

- You've lost me.
- The ransom money.

You're not starting
all that again, are you?

Look, if you think
I took it, prove it.

Ow!

- Why?
- You're breaking my hand!

It was for my wife.

The job was
destroying the marriage.

- I had to get out.
- You could've quit.

I had nothing.

No. Not good enough.

Self-closing drawers. German.

Oh, right. Well, if you'll just take
a seat, we'll see what we can do.

- Okay, thank you.
- All right.

I'm here to see
Superintendent Pullman.

I understand you wish to retract
the statement you made in 1992

concerning your
daughter's kidnapping.

Would you give this
to Hannah for me?

And

tell them I'm...

I'm sorry about everything.

And thank you.

I didn't do anything.

So, let me get this straight.

Paul Watkins says that he
kidnapped Hannah Taylor,

demanded a ransom,
but didn't collect it.

Hannah Taylor says that she wasn't
kidnapped, she simply ran away.

Former DI Simon Webb says that
he delivered the ransom payment

but Madeline Taylor now claims
that despite her original statement,

there was no ransom
demand or payment.

Yeah.

We were supposed to be tying up
loose ends, not finding new ones.

But there is some good news.

Oh, please, please,
I'd love to hear it.

Madeline Taylor has
agreed to drop her lawsuit.

- Her lawyer will contact you in the morning.
- Now, that is good news.

Christ knows what the
CPS will make of this little lot.

Ah.

Mark.

- What's happened? Is it Mum? Is she all right?
- Your mum's fine.

- Then what are you doing here?
- Well, I've come to see you.

My dad.

- My son, the accountant.
- Right.

- Good head for maths. He always has had.
- Dad.

Used to do his times table every
night before he went to sleep.

- I'm supposed to be at a meeting.
- Oh, right, right.

I've just come to

give you that.

- It's the new Arsenal shirt.
- All right, all right.

No, don't take it out.

- What do you want, blood?
- You should come and see them play.

Champions League football,
it'd be a nice treat for you.

- AFC will be playing Champions League one day.
- Not in your lifetime.

Don't push it, son.

Thanks.

Well, you'd better get
to your meeting, then.

Do you fancy going
for a curry next week?

Yeah, all right.

You won't be wearing
that, though, will you?

So in view of this, there are
insufficient grounds for prosecution

and that's the matter closed.

- So what happens now?
- Nothing. That's it.

Oh, your mother asked
me to give you this.

What's in it?

I think you should read it.

Madeline Taylor says Hannah wasn't
kidnapped? When did this happen?

While you were bonding
at mighty Wimbledon.

- Sandra doesn't exactly push her, does she?
- She rigged it.

Sandra Pullman? No way.

I know a rigged
statement when I see one.

It's one of his few
areas of expertise.

- Here, maybe we're rubbing off on her.
- In your dreams, Gerry.

That's funny you
should say that.

So, what's the verdict?

There's not enough evidence to prosecute
Paul Watkins so the case is closed.

Hey, hey! I'll get 'em in.
You've done good, girl.

I don't suppose there's any
chance of you telling Strickland

- that our boss helped you out?
- And why would I want to do something like that?

- Yeah, I'm sure you'll go far.
- Yeah, I intend to.

- Can I set up a tab?
- Yeah, no problem.

- Cheers.
- It'll be here by the till, sir.

Look, what do you
say we call a truce, eh?

No more practical jokes?

Yeah, all right.

That locker...

Very funny.

- Yeah, I thought so.
- Yeah, me, too.

It wasn't my locker.

- What can I get you?
- Oh, a glass of...

Cheers.

No...

A bottle of dry white wine,

two treble malt whiskeys with
lots of ice, a pint of mineral water

and give us four of those big cigars,
and bung in some crisps and nuts and stuff.

I've got a card
behind the bar. Wilson.

Do you want any cash back?

Yeah, give us 50 quid.
