"It's nan's 75th next week," so I tried it.

That's the code.

She's always calling
this woman, Claire s.

Hello. This is detective
sergeant Annie Cassidy.

Can you ring me back as
soon as you get this, please?

Our best chance to go invictus,
and my best player is sabotaging it.

'Police are treating
this as a murder inquiry.'

off she goes. Another murder
she ain't never gonna solve.

The situation has changed.
But your questions haven't.

'Therefore, my answers
remain the same.'

Annie Cassidy.

'You asked me to call you back.'

here's a different question for you, then.

A question we've not asked you yet.

Did you kill your wife, Michael?

No, I did not.

And I'll tell you something else.

The longer this goes on,
whether that be here with you

or with those two women
you've installed in my house,

the less confident I am that
I'm dealing with anyone capable

of finding out who did.

Not now. Can I have a word?

Annie!

Just putting that into
the satnav now, Stephen.

It is Stephen, yeah?

Yeah, I've got the address.

But, I need you to
understand something.

If I meet you there and it turns
out not to be a public place,

it's not happening.

Is that clear? Not without
uniformed back-up.

Yeah.

So he knew the victim, this guy?

Yeah, he was calling her non-stop
in the weeks before she died.

Except we thought he was a she

because she'd put his
number under a woman's name.

That old Chestnut.

You know that one, do you, Andy?

Right, keep calling Ivan. If
you can't get Ivan, get Becky.

I'm coming with you. I said
I wouldn't bring back-up.

Annie, it's a murder inquiry.

Yeah, and if he thinks
we're doing it his way,

he's more likely to talk, in't he?

'I'm not stupid. I...'

I know you'll have looked
through her phone records

and seen how much we spoke.

We...

We became extremely close.

You were having an affair? No, no.

It's important to clarify this.

We wanted to, but we stopped ourselves.

For the sake of our marriages.

If Claire, my wife, if she'd
ever found out, well...

It would've destroyed her.

A marriage ending for a woman her age.

Where do you go after that?

Well, there's nowhere to go, is there?

And he would have erupted. Who?

Really made her suffer.
You mean Michael?

Why else do you think we
started talking in the first place?

She was this special
person stuck in this...

Nothing marriage.

That was why I called you.

Cos even though I am freaking
out about this, about how this looks,

you need to understand who she
was and what she was dealing with.

Thank you, Stephen. It's on me to help.

Thank you.

But let's get it straight...

You only called me after I called you.

In fact, you only called after it
was announced as a murder,

so... you're not telling
me this to be helpful,

you're doing it because
you've got no choice.

No, I... I cared about Sarah.

Did you? More than I should admit.

How many times did you
call her after she disappeared?

After you knew she was missing?

Tell me.

How many times in those long,
agonising days she was gone

did you just... check she was ok?

Really?

As many as that?

How did it start, this...
"Affair you weren't having"?

Where were you on Monday the 23rd?

Sorry. Er, you've got
someone downstairs.

Answer the question. I'll show you out.

Must have a lot on, Stephen.
In the office on a Saturday.

I'll talk to my di. He'll want
to interview you properly.

Hi.

Stay with us. Just for tonight.

No. No, I need to be here for dad.

Hi.

I'm just getting some stuff.

Alana, I am so sorry.

I-I spoke to mr halliday last night

about maybe doing a recital
of all her favourite music?

All way too early. I apologise.

I don't know if you're
aware of this, Michael,

but in cases of female murder,

the perpetrator is most likely
to be a partner, ex-partner,

or a male well-known to the victim.

Oddly enough, I was
not aware of that, no.

Making it crucial we
eliminate you from our inquiries

so you can be left to your grief

and we can get on with doing our jobs,

which is what we want
us to focus on now.

Now, on the afternoon
Sarah disappeared,

you were... watching a rugby match.

Coaching a rugby match, yes.

And that match finished...? At 4:15, yes.

Then my daughter and I,
along with a boy called pa...

I told you all this already.

We got home about 4:30.

At which point, you
realised Sarah was missing.

Alana did, yes.

She looked in the
room where she teaches,

then went upstairs, looked outside,

and then finally came to me to
ask me if I knew where she was.

Which I didn't.

I would also add that everything
I did up until that rugby match

can be accounted for.

If I wasn't in a lesson,

I was either supervising
an event or in a meeting,

all of which is documented.

That's the upside of
having a rigid timetable.

'His alibi's tight.

'Sarah's at the school till lunchtime.'

several people confirmed that.

So either she left of her own accord,

or she was taken against her will.

And if she was taken...

Then it wasn't by Michael Polly.

The pollys all had family
location tracking on their phones,

but Sarah barely ever
took hers anywhere.

So, what now? We let him go?

No. I'll let the search finish first.

We can't force him to stay.

No, but he's not going anywhere, is he?

Guilty or not, he needs to
be seen to be cooperating.

Annie. Can I have a word, please?

You went where?! Well,
I tried telling you, but...

But I was in an interview. Yeah.

I was unavailable because I was
conducting an important interview.

Yeah. Yeah. So you wait.

I didn't even realise you'd
called him in the first place.

This is the first I'm
hearing about any of this.

You're the family liaison officer.

He was having an affair with Sarah.

Right, so you come to
me, and you tell me that,

and I decide what we do about it. Sorry.

I'm sorry it's come about
like this. If I've over-reached...

"If"? This is strong, Ivan.

He's already pointing a finger at Michael,

and I like the idea it's
Michael, me more than anyone,

but let's be honest... Michael's alibied.

His name is Stephen Sedgwick.
He's a dad at the school.

His son is the best
player on the rugby team.

On the day of the
match, his son's big day,

he is nowhere to be seen.

And nor is Sarah Polly.

Maybe that's it.

Why hide the phone under the bed?

Not cos she left in a rush or
she was being kidnapped...

Because she didn't want Michael
knowing where she was going.

Yes. Or who she was meeting.

I couldn't face doing it last night, so...

We'll do it later.

Together.

Yeah.

I told Cindy in the
bakery to put that aside.

It's Annie's favourite.

She comes on a Sunday,
and we both have a slice.

Well, you should tell Cindy at the bakery

that I come on a Sunday
so that you can have a slice.

Fair.

Nice.

This...

This case you're
working on at the school...

It does still mean you'll
be working on Tina?

What did I promise you
in 2004... You and Ron,

when I was still in uniform?

That you'd find the bastard who did it.

What did I promise you in
2017, as soon as I became a DC?

That you'd find the bastard who did it.

And what do I say every Sunday
when we sit down to have a slice of cake?

That you'll find the bastard who did it.

And I will find the bastard who did it.

Not a doubt in my mind. I mean it.

It's only...

You've been saying that
for a while now, haven't you?

Carol... It's all right, love.

You've got a lot on your mind.

'Beati quorum via' by
choir of new college, Oxford.

Michael.

It's in the best interests of the school.

You can see that.

How many years have we
worked together, the three of us?

Well, that's why we
wanted to do it in person.

You forget how much I supported
you? When you needed all that time off?

Parents complaining.

Well, that has nothing to do with...
They were queuing up out there.

And you. All that crap before covid.

That doesn't just disappear
on its own, you know.

The governors are all agreed.

This is in your interests.
Don't patronise me.

Mike... Don't call me Mike.

He calls you Mike. I
am not talking to him.

Ok. Ok. All of us, let's
try and keep it civil.

A suspension is a pause.

There needn't be any negative
connotation to that word. I agree.

You agree?

We have end-of-term
exams, we have open day,

and not just that, but the
1st xv have this vital game.

And we must protect those things.

She's right. We're a business.

The parents are clients, and
they'll expect certain things.

They'll expect you to step back.

Simone!

I'd like you to draft an
email to the parents and staff.

I want this laid out properly,

and that it's temporary, a fortnight,

and it's being done at my suggestion.

Michael, we've written it.

Well, then, I'd like to
read that before it goes out.

I want everyone to understand
that this is not about me.

It's not a judgement on
my character or my ability.

Michael, it went out this morning.

These are from June. A sports match.

Parents, staff.

There's Michael there, look.

These were all on a laptop
we found in the house.

Sarah again.

She's made an effort, and here's why.

Go forward, please.

Is he looking at her there or at Polly?

We can do better than that.

Look, we've got a live photo.

They start the affair,
they speak every day,

yet the day she goes missing,
before anybody knows she's gone,

the calls stop.

So we're saying it's him? No.

We're saying he's interesting.

High on our list.

Your list. I'm just the flo.

Speaking of which... No
mentioning this to the pollys.

Ok. Paperwork, devices, anything
we can find on Stephen Sedgwick,

then we bring him in. Yes, guv.

Do you know who I
mean by Simon ho well?

He was my predecessor
here at the school.

Your mum and I, we came
here just before I took over,

to see the house.

We couldn't believe it.

It was so much nicer
than our previous place.

I mean, you wouldn't remember that.

And at one point, as your
mum was talking to his wife,

he brought me out here.

And he told me not to move in.

I mean, take the job,

but even though you'd never
find anywhere as nice as this,

get somewhere outside
the school boundary.

"Because people keep turning up."

How do you mean?

Pupils, parents, staff.

They knock, and they knock,
and they keep knocking.

Because this isn't your house,

it's the headmaster's house.

It belongs to the school, it belongs
to them, and you belong to them.

You're no longer just Michael, you know.

You're always the headmaster. Yeah.

And it doesn't just affect you.

It affects everyone.

Sarah, she ceases to be Sarah.

She's the headmaster's wife,
and then it affects your marriage...

Don't. You're married to the school.

I mean, that's why he
was trying to tell me,

because that's why him
and his wife were leaving.

Cos they saw the danger
they couldn't do it all.

And I looked at him, and I
thought, "well I won't be like that..."

"Cos I can handle it..."

"Cos I'm better than you."

And so I thanked him for
his advice, and I ignored it.

Stop now.

And I never discussed it with your
mother, and then it happened to us.

We didn't get out in time.

So, I have asked the governors for
some time off, and they've agreed.

As short as possible, of
course, given how busy we are.

But I think it's important to have
some time at home with Alana.

Good. Pleased to hear that.

Ok. You're about to ask
me how it's going, aren't you?

I recognise that look.

Well, it's mine and Becky's
job to keep you updated.

But there is no update,

other than the fact that we're
checking everything from the search.

And still talking to locals in wales,

at the pub where her card was used.

Is that it?

Did you get into her phone?

Yes. Yes, we did.

Right, ok, well, then
that's an update, isn't it?

Yes, it would be,

but your lovely mum wasn't glued
to her phone like the rest of us are,

so...

Can I show you something quickly? Yes.

Did they leave it like this?

Yeah. It's way worse upstairs.

It's like she's been murdered,
and now she's been burgled.

I'm really sorry.

We will sort this out, ok?
Even if I've gotta do it myself.

She was on her phone much more
than you're making out, you know.

There will be stuff on there.

Not necessarily.

Did you look through it properly?

Alana, we have whole
departments dedicated to that stuff.

If there's anything
on there, we will find it,

and you'll be the first to know.

There's, like, 60 different articles.

Quieten down, please.

What did I just say?

Three or four different articles about it.

I've seen like... Bauri!

Last time I checked,
winning a rugby match

did not give you the right to talk in class.

Or use your phone.

Or have I got that wrong? No, sir.

Dyce? No, sir.

What was so interesting, anyway?

Come on.

Someone told me... Quickly.

They said Dylan's
dad's been arrested, sir.

Say that again.

Arrested.

For murder.

'This a tactic of yours, is it?

'Arrest a man and put him in
a cell, stewing for five hours?'

put him on edge?

Interview commences at 13:01.

Stephen, before we get into
your relationship with Sarah...

Yeah, there was no real relationship.

Ok... What there was were phone calls.

I want no confusion about this point.

But before we get into
that, I want you first to tell us

where you were on the
afternoon of march 23rd,

specifically, between the hours of...?

12:15 and 4:30.

Well I was... If it helps
jog your memory, Stephen,

it's the place you chose to be

instead of watching your
son play rugby for his school.

Thanks for that.

It's also the time that
Sarah Polly went missing.

Later to be found murdered.

So where you were during
those hours is crucial.

I was at the cottage.

'What cottage?'

'we have a holiday cottage we rent out.

'I'd gone over there to
check it had been cleaned.'

got back to Bristol late afternoon

and spent the rest of
the evening at home.

With Claire.

And if you want any evidence of that,

then ask our neighbour opposite.

He's got cameras up all
over the front of his property.

Cos robberies in Bristol
are going up, he says.

Cos he's a nosy bastard
is nearer the truth.

'I see them whenever
I go out for a cigarette.

'He films everything.

'I never thought I'd be glad about it.'

'now, this cottage. Where is it?'

'wales.'

place called ogmore.

Near bridgend.

Was Sarah ever at this cottage?

Maybe once.

'As a friend.'

It seemed they all know.

'Sedgwick's dad.

'Presume they've told you this already?'

must be true, mustn't it?

'The police know about the affair.

'They will not have arrested
Sedgwick for no reason.'

where are you now?

We need to talk in private.

Are you married?

Sorry? Well, you don't wear a ring,

but that doesn't mean
anything these days, does it?

So, long-term relationship? Married?

Sorry, are these questions off limits?

No.

So...?

Yes.

And happily?

Happily enough.

Why?

Well, how do you do it?

Work, relationships, how
do you manage all that?

I'm not sure how useful it is

comparing yours and Sarah's
relationship to mine and...

And...? You were about
to tell me his name.

Well, I mean, you don't
have to answer any of these...

I'm just making conversation, so... Craig.

I don't know.

"Must do better"?

"See me after school"?

I dunno, what is it that
you say to your pupils

when they show you their
homework, you know, it's...

I don't know.

None of us are perfect, I know that.

What about you, Michael?

That's a good idea.

Go for a walk.

Can I go for a walk?

Not if you go where I
think you're gonna go,

because I can't take you there.

Why, is it still sealed off, or...?

No.

Then? Because you'll get
yourself into trouble, that's why.

If the press sees you, if you leave marks,

you'll put yourself at
the scene, forensically.

I thought they'd done
with all that. Yes, they are.

But someone might
review this case in the future

and find evidence of you being there.

Why give yourself the hassle?

"Hassle"?

It's where my wife's body was found.

This was an extramarital affair,

and Stephen Sedgwick
is trying to conceal it.

So we are now not looking for evidence.

We are looking for an absence of it.

You know, what's been deleted?

Messages that have
gone, phone records,

odd gaps in the diary, yeah?

I want the cctv from that
neighbour's house opposite. Boss.

And I want a full team
down at that Welsh cottage.

See if we can place Sarah
there on the day she went missing.

Even though it'll be
difficult for him to hear,

he's better off knowing, isn't he?

He's gonna find out anyway.
He's better off hearing it from you.

You want him to find out.

No... You do.

You don't like him.
No, he doesn't like me.

And it doesn't matter what I think of him,

because he's your dad.

You want to look after
him, and that makes sense.

But I want to look after you.

Jesus, what's the matter?

What?

I've done something stupid.

When they were on their way
to the house, I took something.

I could see...

I could see how it was gonna
look, how it was all gonna play out.

What are you talking about?
I need you to do me a favour.

I need you to go to the staff room... Out!

I can't go in there.

I need you to go to the staff room.

That's where I hid it.

I need to get rid of it. I'm
not sure that's the right thing.

If dad finds out, it will kill him.

I cannot lose them both.

Everything all right? Everything's fine.

Mind if I...? Of course. Sorry.

Sarah was down there.

Melodie, the dog Walker,
came from across there.

I am married... But not happily.

He left me for another
woman, younger woman.

It's hard, isn't it?

When things get tough,
it's hard to talk about.

It's embarrassing.

You hear that?

That's the school chapel
bell. That's how close we are.

And that's why I wanted to come here...

To ask you that whoever did
this, whoever left Sarah here...

Did they want people to think it was me?

Did you read what's inside? Course not.

What's the big deal about
it, anyway? Who's it by?

It's not the book. I just
used that to hide them in.

It's...

It's mum's diary... From her filofax.

I knew that's where she
wrote about things, about...

Him.

Sedgwick or your dad?

Both.

And I took the pages
out, the journal section,

the morning after she first went missing

to stop dad reading them.

And then the police said they were
gonna come and search the house.

I...

Knew if they found it, it
would make dad look bad.

It would give him motive.

That's...

How they would twist things.

So you hid them?

Have you read them?

All of them? Enough.

I couldn't get to the end.

So, what now?

I'm gonna take them
home and burn them.

You can't. Why?

What if they search the staff
room? It's her own private business.

It's evidence. You need
to give it to the police.

No, no, they'll get the wrong idea.

She says how much
she loves him, Sedgwick.

How she was planning to
leave, for months and months.

It says it over and over... It
doesn't matter what she says.

And it makes dad look guilty.

You cannot get drawn into this.

So what if it says she was
planning on leaving your dad?

Ok, he wouldn't have wanted that.

But maybe, Sedgwick, he
might not have wanted that either.

Otherwise, if it had been
months and months and months...

Why hadn't they done it already?

It's evidence against the both of them.

Guv!

These messages were
deleted off Sedgwick's phone.

Sarah deleted the same ones off hers,

but she didn't delete
them from the cloud.

Can you print these off?

Thought you might say that.

If there were any text messages,
there wouldn't have been many.

There are 700 on your phone.

That's total nonsense.

Sorry, you're right.

There were 700 on your phone,

and then, the day before
Sarah went missing,

you deleted them.

All of them. In one go.

Her final message... May
as well start at the end.

Was pretty short and
to the point, wasn't it?

I don't recall.

You don't remember what it
said? No, why don't you remind me?

Why not?

Her last message simply says, "it's over."

That's odd because if there was no affair,

then what was it that was over, exactly?

Friendship. Bit louder.

The friendship.
And what did you reply to that?

Or has that slipped your mind as well?

Shall I...? Why not?

"Who the hell do you think you are?

"Making all these promises,
trying to make me leave c,

"then calling it quits.

"You're going to pay for this.

"You have no idea.
You're gonna fucking pay".

That's one hell of a friendship.

The cottage you rent
out is in ogmore, yeah?

So if Sarah did go there,
it wasn't to stay there?

I don't think so.

So when our forensics
team arrive there later,

they won't find any evidence
of her in any of the bedrooms?

Stephen?

'I'm sorry. It's a lot to take in.'

on the afternoon she went missing,

Sarah Polly used her cash
card at the red hare pub.

A five-minute drive to your cottage.

She bought cigarettes.

She doesn't smoke. No, but you do.

You told us your
neighbour Alec films you

every time you go out for a cigarette.

That's what you said, wasn't it?

'That was me.

'I had her card.'

we were close, I...

I admit it. I admit that now. I...

We spent time together...

When we could.

And... Because of that,
she left her card in my car.

I'd left my wallet at home,
so I used that instead.

Why are you hiding
all this? I'm not hiding.

I'm helping. Where is that card now?

If that's your story, and you
had it with on you on the Monday,

then where is it now?

It's in my wallet.

Which was taken from
me when I arrived here.

I've taken that compassionate
leave. I've confirmed it.

Hey, Becky.

'You were right about Sedgwick.
He's got Sarah's bank card.'

ok, thank you. Bye.

That was Becky saying that
she's coming to take over,

if there was anything
you needed her to bring?

No, I didn't think so.

I'll leave you to it.

Thanks. Bye.

Where did you go? I told you.

To confirm that compassionate leave.

Well, you were gone a long
time. Well, it took a long time.

What's in your pocket?

Sorry?

What have you got in your pocket?

Why are you being like this?
I'm just asking you a question.

No. No, you're interrogating
me like I'm a sixth-former.

Show me.

They're pages... from mum's filofax.

Diary pages.

I was worried... I...

I didn't want her private thoughts
being pored over by the police.

And have you read them?

Not all of them, no. Not to the end.

Well, can you read them to me?

I mean, if you think they're
worth keeping from the police,

I'd like to hear what they have to say.

You don't want that.

Don't I?

Well, why don't you start with
the week she went missing?

Dad, please. You know,
the days before she died.

Start there.

Read.

"He's impossible."

"The way he talks to me,
the way he looks through me."

"These days, every time
I see him in the house,"

"I ask myself..."

Keep reading.

"I ask myself, whatever attracted me?"

"What the hell was I thinking? Those..."

Keep reading.

"Those shoes, clothes, hair, the
pompous way he strides around."

Dad, dad, people...

People write things, and
they don't mean them.

It doesn't... It doesn't mean anything.

Just keep reading.

"But with..."

No, no. Don't edit them or
skip anything. Just keep reading.

"But with Stephen, it's different."

"Stephen wants me."

"Stephen knows how to pleasure me.

"We did it..." Keep reading.

"We did it in his car and his house."

"He knows what to do, how... to touch."

"He takes his time, until..."

Keep reading. Dad,
please... Keep... reading.

"He takes his time until I am satisfied."

"He's going to leave Claire."

"He wants me to leave Michael."

"Boring Michael..."

"Who everyone laughs at."

"And I want to."

"I have to."

"You only get one life."

I never wanted you to know.

And...

What are you gonna do about them?

Burn them.

It's her own... private business. I...

What do you think?

Paul thinks I should
take them to the police.

Well, my advice is that...

You should do what you think is right...

Now that mum isn't here.

Sedgwick's got a cottage in wales.

He said he used her
card when he was there.

They were there together? No.

Claims he was alone. Reckons
she left the card in his car.

Well, you know what that is, don't you?

That's a man drowning
in his own bullshit,

because if I left my card,
I'd want it back. Exactly.

His neighbour in Bristol's got all
his comings and goings on cctv.

That's the house there.

All right for some.
Here's Sedgwick leaving.

Anpr picks him up on the severn bridge...

Then a few hours later,

back over the bridge he comes.

Back to Bristol in time for tea.

Both trips, he's on his own in the car.

In the front of the car, anyway.

I'm gonna call the cps. See
what we need in order to charge.

How long can we keep him? Till 6:30.

What's the time now? Six.

Ok, we've got half an hour.

Everything ok? Hi.
There's something I forgot.

It's probably not even
helpful. It's all helpful.

Well, everyone's been saying
that she was killed in the afternoon,

during the rugby match. Yes?

Everyone? Well, online and stuff.

I mean, it is on there. You can't avoid it.

But that can't be right. She
must have been killed later.

And why is that?

Well, because I walk the same
route every day, always at 4:30.

And I walked past the house,
didn't I, on that first afternoon?

The afternoon that Sarah went missing.

And I said hello to Michael Polly,

and then I went on my
way, same way I always go.

But caspar never found her.

So, as we thought - she
must have gone missing,

gone somewhere, and then come back.

'Yeah, or been dumped there later.'

the day the dog found her.

Ok. Let me check again.

Ok, Duncan.

We need footage of Sedgwick
leaving the house again,

so keep scrolling through.

I want evidence of him moving the body.

This is Monday night,
so day she went missing.

Sedgwick comes home from wales,
he parks up, and he never leaves.

Family's tucked up for
the night. Nobody budges.

Just keep scrolling forward.

Keep going.

Are we sure he didn't
leave again that night?

No, he didn't. Look.

Nothing.

Was that car there
when we started scrolling?

Well, no, it's just arrived.

What time is it? Er, 11:15.

So, a car arrives at 11:15...

Nobody gets out? Not yet.

There they are. Zoom in.

That's Michael Polly.

At least we still have each other.
