Hello'?

No. No, no.
That's fine.

Sorry. Hang on.

[ Volume lowers ]

Sorry about that.
I couldn't hear you.

What, now'?

No, no, no, no.
It's no problem.

L, um -- I could be with you
in an hour or so.

Half an hour.

No. It's fine.

I'll see you then.
Yeah. Bye.

Shit!

SubRIP by docent{mults.org

Say hello to Harry Eldridge.
Or what's left of him.

He was found near Guildford
a couple of days ago,

out up and buried
not far from the A3.

The dry, sandy nature
of the soil

has left him
pretty well preserved,

wrapped in what look like
his clothes and old newspapers.

Positive ID, is it'?

Well, they found a wallet among
the clothing with a credit card.

Dental records
should confirm it.

Eldridge was a well-to-do
butcher in Smithfield Market.

When was this'?

Those newspapers are dated
December 19, 1976.

The day Eldridge vanished.

The most likely cause of death
is this --

a stab wound going up
into the small of the back,

made with a long-bladed knife.

The body was out up
quite skillfully,

so -- doctor, surgeon...

- Butcher.
- Mm. Quite.

The day Eldridge vanished,
Simon Lockhart, a

doctor at Bart's Hospital,

was murdered in the back of
Eldridge's store in Smithfield.

Eldridge was the prime suspect.

This may or may not
rule him out.

Either way, it's not Eldridge's
killing we're reinvestigating --

It's Dr. Lockhart's.

Yeah, but Smithfield's
in the City of London.

Why isn't it their bag'?

Ordinarily it would be,

but they're pretty stretched
at the moment.

Poor things.

They'd appreciate
our level of expertise.

The city commissioner himself
has asked for our help,

not least because of
UCOS's reputation.

It's quite a feather
in your cap.

And so he expressly asked
for our help,

not least
because of UCOS's reputation.

Expressly asked for our help,
my ass.

STANDING:
Who's he kidding'?

The City of London
would appreciate

our level of expertise, Gerry.

The City of London commissioner
is Ian Hayes.

Strickland went to Bramshill
with him.

- He was best man at his wedding.
- You scratch my back...

I'll stick a feather
in your...cap.

Right.

Dr. Simon Lockhart, 35.

Senior houseman
in the A&E department

in St. Bart's Hospital.

Early Monday morning,
December 21, 1976,

he was found
hanging from a meat hook

in Harry Eldridge's cold store
in Smithfield market

by a Vernon Murnaghan.

- HALFORD: Come again?
- Vernon Murnaghan.

He was Eldridge's meat cutter,
and he had keys to the stall.

Lockhart's skull had been
split open with a meat cleaver.

Oh, not just
a friendly tiff, then.

He was last seen
two days earlier in The Bull pub

along with Eldridge, Murnaghan,

and a fellow butcher
and stallholder, David Snow.

Is that The Bull
near the market?

Yeah. The four of them
had spent the morning gambling.

The meat men
didn't actually know Lockhart,

but they were quite happy
to take his money.

Murnaghan and Snow
left around 2:00,

but Eldridge and Lockhart
were still there at 2:30,

because they were overheard
arguing by an off-duty plod.

So when Lockhart turned up dead,

the police named Eldridge
as the prime suspect,

only to find he'd disappeared.

No one in the market had
seen him since the Saturday.

He never came home,
and his wife, Julia,

reported him missing
late Sunday evening.

Well, that's the market for you.

Like getting
blood out of a stone.

Whole case is a waste of time.

What are you on about? Eldridge
didn't do a runner, did he'?

He was found murdered.

Which means he probably
didn't kill Lockhart.

Someone else
killed both of them.

And you think we're gonna find
out who it is 33 years later?

Sorry, am I missing something?
Or isn't that our job'?

Anyway, Eldridge wasn't just
your ordinary butcher.

He supplied some of the smartest
restaurants in London.

And when he married Julia,
it was like a society wedding.

So you can just imagine
what the press made of it

when Lockhart turned up
in the back of his stall

like a side of beef.

Okay'?
Let's get down there.

Why'?

Talk to the family.

His son Tom
now runs the business.

Pointless.
- What are you on about?

Smithfield Market
works through the night.

By 9:00 in the morning,
it's more or less dead.

Oh.

Okay. We'll go
first thing tomorrow, then.

Fine.
All I'm saying is good luck.

I mean, it's not even our manor.

City of London
know it's hopeless,

so that's why
they fobbed it off on us.

But we've got more to go on now

than the original investigation,
haven't We'?

We've got another dead man,
blood, clothing, DNA,

an IOU found
in Eldridge's pocket

linking the four of them
gambling.

Mind you, I don't get what it is
they were playing.

What's..."spoof"?

- Spoof! Oh, blimey!
- Haven't played that for years.

- A card game'?
- No, no. It's not cards.

Look, you each take three coins,
right'?

Any coin.

And you put them
behind your back.

Then you put either one, two,
or three or none in one hand,

and then you hold your hand out
in front of you.

And then you each take a turn
to guess what the total is.

But you can't use any number
that's already been called.

Right?
- So, four.

Five.

Three.

[Laughter]

HALFORD: Five.

STANDING: Seven.

Six.

Eight.

Me! I've won!
Thank you!

It's unbelievable!

- Mallorca 1972.
- Eh?

When me dad
taught me how to play.

Mum was furious.
[Giggles]

[indistinct talking, shouting]

Wow!
It's busy, isn't it'?

Look, you lot go on.
I'm gonna get a coffee.

Coffee can wait.
Come on.

I'm not going in there.

Gerry, you love food, cooking.
This should be nirvana.

Is it the meat, Gerry'?

Yes, it's a phobia.

You've got a phobia about
raw meat. Like Adolf Hitler.

I haven't got a bloody phobia.

You just don't need
all of us in there.

It's the scene of crime.
In!

STANDING: [ Groans]

PULLMAN: You know,
I've never been here before.

It's fantastic, isn't it'?

A pantheon to the gods of gore.

Vegetarians need not apply.

There you are. They're not here.
Come on.

Can I help you, love'?

Uh, yeah.
We're looking for Tom Eldridge.

Nah.
Home with his mum.

Can I say who called?

You're a bit lost,
ain't you, darling?

Met's over that Way.

What'd I tell you'?
Come on. Let's go.

MAN: Gerry!

Gerry!

Gerry.
Someone's calling you.

MAN:
[Laughing ] Gerry.

You old bugger.
How are you'?

STANDING: Yeah, all right.
Yeah.

Well, well, now.

Look, your taste's improved.
Who's this, then?

Detective Superintendent
Pullman. My governor.

Care to introduce us, Gerry'?

Oh, sorry. Sid.

- Cousin.
Cousin'?

How are you, love'?
All right'?

Here, Barry!

Barry, come and have a look
who's here!

Bloody hell!

Mate! Oh, lovely!

STANDING:
Another cousin.

[Laughter]

SID: This has always been
a real family business.

Now, let me tell you who's who.

That's Harry.
That's Gerry's second cousin.

That's Garry --
That's Harry's brother.

And that's Mary over there --
That's his missus.

That's Larry, their boy.

And that there's Terry --
That's Barry's son.

Yeah, that's Gerry's cousin
first removed.

Gerry, you never mentioned
that you had family here.

What, you didn't know his
old man was in the meat trade?

No.
No, I didn't.

Oh, he's hopeless.
He was always hopeless.

Broke his old man's heart.

You'd have to have a heart
to break one.

That's why you got out,
didn't you'?

Went off and joined
the Old Bill.

Him and his old man
didn't get on.

Let me get this right.

Your dad
was Gerry's dad's brother.

Excuse me.
Lestade & Family?

SID: Yeah.
Yeah, it's an Huguenot name.

They come over from France,
stop getting massacred.

Unlike Gerry here.

He used to get massacred
every Saturday night.

BARRY: [ Laughs] You mention
Lestade in the meat trade,

and everyone knows
what you're talking about.

It's a name to be proud of.

Yeah, except for him, of course.

Silly bugger thought it made him
sound like an iron hoof.

- No, I didn't.
- You changed your name.

So your real name
is Gerard Lestade'?

- Ah, oui!
- Can we stop all this'?

So, deep down,
you're not Cockney at all.

- You're French.
- I'm not bleedin' French!

That's what his old man
used to say to wind him up.

So, cuz...

What are you doing here'?

We're looking into the murder
of a Dr. Simon Lockhart.

It happened here
some 30-odd years ago.

- Who?
- Simon Lockhart.

He was a doctor at Bart's.

He was found
in Harry Eldridge's cold store.

HALFORD: Everyone thought that
Harry Eldridge had killed him

and then done a runner.

Only now Harry's turned up.
Also dead.

Lockhart.

Sort of rings a bell.

But it was a long time ago,
mind.

I told you.

We're looking for David Snow.

Does he still have a stall
here in the market?

Snowy?
No. Not for years.

He runs a pub now. The Bull.
Just down the road.

- The Bull?
- Yeah.

Right. Cheers.
Thanks very much. Thank you.

You take care now,
there, Gezzer, eh'?

Don't you be a stranger.
[Laughs]

- Come here.
- Hey, hey.

- Come on, Gezzer.
- Very affectionate, aren't they'?

PULLMAN: [Laughs]

There's a whole other side
to your family,

and you've never
even mentioned them.

Yeah, Sid, Barry, Harry, Garry,
Larry, Mary, Terry.

And Gerry.

- Gezzer.
- Very funny.

No, they're all right,
that lot is.

It was my dad.

As far as I was concerned,
he was a complete --

Huguenot'?

Right, lads.
What can I get you'?

We're looking for a David Snow.

Oh, are you'?

And what you gonna do to him
when you find him'?

Just get him, will you'?

Oh, yeah, well, I'm Dave Snow.
What's the problem'?

We're looking into the death
of Dr. Simon Lockhart in 1976.

Oh, yeah.

I've just been reading about
Harry Eldridge being dug up.

It's horrible.

You were with him
the day he died, Weren't you'?

Yeah, that's right.
Playing spoof.

Me, him, and Mouthful.

Mouthful?

Vernon Murnaghan.
Murnaghan.

Well, it is, isn't it,
a mouthful?

Anyway, we took quite a lot
off 'em both,

so we decided to quit
while we were ahead.

Back in '76 you said
you'd never met Lockhart before.

Yeah, that's right.

He saw we were playing spoof,

and he come over and asked
if he could join in.

And this is the same pub
you were in that day'?

Oh, yeah. There's only one Bull
in Smithfield.

[Laughs ] Get it'?

Now you're the landlord'?

No, I own it.

Lock, stock,
and nonsmoking barrels.

[Laughs]

Get it'?

So how long have you been
out of the meat trade'?

Oh, ages now.

I got a good few years
out of it.

And then the EU
put their oar in.

Ruined everything, the pillocks.

They're all
on the hey-diddle-diddle.

They've regulated it to death,
they have.

Don't get me started.

You never saw Eldridge and
Lockhart again after you left?

No.
Me and Mouthful left them to it.

I went back to the market,
shut up shop, and went home.

Brian.

An IOU was found
on Harry's body.

Could it have been Lockhart's'?

SNOW: [ Exhales sharply]
500 quid?

[Laughs]

We'd had to have played
for a whole year

to rattle up that lot.

This looks like one that
Danny Paye used to dish out.

Who's Danny Paye'?

Danny Paye.
That's a blast from the past.

Illegal bookie.
Loan shark. Gangster.

Nah.
Danny Paye was a nothing.

He had his moments.
Most of them in '75-'76.

- And this Vernon bloke.
- Murnaghan.

Yeah.
Where can we find him'?

SNOW: Oh, he landed on his feet,
all right.

He's got a place
up at Ally Pally.

I think you'll find him in
the phone book under "loaded."

Right. 'Souse me for a minute,
will you?

Okay, you two go and see

if there's any mileage
in this Vernon...Mouthful...

Where you going'?

Jack and I'll go and see
Eldridge's widow and son.

Kill two birds with one stone.

[indistinct talking]

Thomas Eldridge'?

Look, my mother and I
have made it absolutely clear

we are not speaking
to the press.

We're not from the papers,
Mr. Eldridge.

Detective Superintendent
Pullman. This is Jack Halford.

We've already talked
to the police.

That was Surrey.
We're actually from the Met.

Unsolved Crime
and Open Case Squad.

We're reexamining the death
of a Dr. Simon Lockhart.

Let them in, Tom.

Let them in.

I never could believe that Harry
killed Dr. Lockhart --

any more than I could believe
that he'd simply disappear.

Did your husband ever mention
knowing Lockhart'?

As I said at the time, no.

Did he have any enemies?

Possibly.

When he disappeared,
I found out that the business

wasn't in nearly
as healthy a state

as I'd been led to believe.

But nothing
that could get him...

Is it possible
he'd borrowed money?

No.
Not Without me knowing.

He didn't.

My mother struggled for years
to keep the business going.

Where we are now
is solely down to her.

It's amazing what she did.
Especially in Smithfield.

Do you think it's possible

that someone could have been
waiting for your husband?

What, and ended up having
to deal with Lockhart as Well?

How much do you remember
of this time'?

Not a lot.
I was only six.

All I remember is
wondering Where he'd gone

and being upset
that he never came back.

We went to the stall today

in the hope of having
a look 'round.

Where we are now is not where
the business was in '76.

We used to be
in the old poultry market.

We moved
when Smithfield was renovated.

- Could we take a look at it'?
- I don't see why not.

Thank you.
It would be very helpful.

LANE: Bermondsey --
where you grew up --

it's on the river, right'?

STANDING: Yeah.

LANE: So is that Where the boats
from France used to land'?

STANDING:
If you don't shut up,

I'm gonna land a right hook
right on the end of your nose.

Bloody hell.
Look at this!

[Doorbell rings]

Gentlemen.
How can I help you'?

You can help yourself
to a pair of trousers.

I've just had me breakfast.

[Laughs]

This way, boys.

Now, fancy a drink'?

No, not for me.

How about you'?
You sure you won't have one'?

It's a bit early for me.

It's never too early
for pleasure.

You kit this place out yourself?

Yeah.
Yeah, I did.

- Do you like it'?
- Very original.

You've done well for yourself,
haven't you'?

I have, haven't I'?

We've, uh, been chatting
to Dave Snow.

He says you left Harry Eldridge
and Dr. Lockhart in The Bull.

Yeah, that's right.

Snowy went back to his stall,

and I went to
the Walthamstow dogs.

Can you believe
they've shut that place down'?

I mean,
it's a diabolical tragedy.

And you never saw
either of them again'?

No, n-- Yes!

Yeah, I did. Yeah, I saw
the poor doctor again.

I wish I hadn't now.

Of course.
You found the body.

Yeah.
It was on a Monday.

Did Lockhart and Eldridge
have a row'?

- I never saw them.
- No?

And what was Harry like?

- Dead straight. Devout.
- Devout'?

Yeah, he was a Catholic.

Religion was
everything to him, see'?

With Harry, right was right
and wrong was wrong.

Right?
- Strict.

He was very good to me.

As I say he was honest, decent.

So you don't think he could have
killed Lockhart'?

Harry'?

What a meat cleaver
to the old fruit and nut'?

I don't think so, mate.
[Laughs]

They found an IOU
in Harry's pocket.

For 500 quid.

Did they'?

Dave Snow reckoned it looked
like one of Danny Paye's.

- Who?
- Danny Paye.

Villain out the East End.

Little big man in the '70s.

Danny Paye -- Oh, yeah.

He fancied himself, he did.

Harry ever mention owing
or being owed

a sum of money like that?

Not that I remember, no.

And I would remember that,
Wouldn't I'?

I mean five ton was
a fair old whack in those days.

Yeah. And it must have been a
fair old whack to buy this gaff.

For a meat cutter.

Yeah, well, I've been
a lucky boy, haven't I'?

You know, with the gee-gees
and the dogs.

Harry was out up
after he died.

Yeah.

Yeah, I read about that.
Terrible.

Expertly.

Someone who knew
what they were doing.

Yeah.

The Surrey cops
said that as Well.

Only they was younger than you
and better turned-out.

Listen, I knew Harry Eldridge
for nine years.

I liked him.
He liked me.

Why would
I slice and dice him, eh'? Mm'?

Go on.
Get out.

Go on. On your Way.
Both of you.

Bar's closed.

Maybe he owed a lot of money.

[French accent ] Maybe we can
ask lnspeсteur Huguenot.

- Ah! Bonjour! Сa va'?
- Bonjour, lnspecteur.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Je suis an-bleedin'-glaise,
all right'?

We were just saying that if
Harry's business was in trouble,

then maybe Harry was in trouble.

Bad debts.

Maybe someone was waiting

for Harry at the stall
to punish him,

Lockhart's there as well

and ends up
as collateral damage.

What, they kill 'em both,
but only take Harry with them'?

Who says Harry died there'?

[French accent] I use, how you
say, the little gray cells'?

Nah. Danny Paye wasn't
that sort of operator.

We should be looking at Where
Vernon got all that dough from.

He had the keys
to Harry's stall.

Now, I reckon he went back
to the stall

thinking that Harry was busy
with Lockhart,

then they turn up and find him
with his hand in the till.

What, then Vernon went psycho,
hangs Lockhart on a hook,

drives away with Harry
dead or alive,

cuts him up, buries him,

and ambles back in on Monday as
large as life Without a qualm'?

Danny Paye
might have been small-time,

but he was big enough to make
the front pages in March '77.

"Last night a mass brawl in
Turk's Head Yard, Clerkenwell,

left four men injured,
two seriously,

all now recovering
in Bart's Hospital.

The men, all in their 30s
and from the Poplar area,

include Daniel Paye,

an individual well known
to the police.

The fight is believed
to have started

over a territorial dispute
between rival criminal gangs.

A police spokesman said
no arrests had been made."

March '77.

That's less than three months
after Lockhart dies

and Harry disappears.

Brian, we need to know more
about Lockhart.

Was he a good doctor'?
Was he a bad doctor'?

Was he friends with people
he shouldn't have been'?

I mean, who just starts gambling
with three complete strangers?

Sandra, can I have a word,
please?

- In my office?
- Yeah, sure.

Surrey Police sent me a copy
of the results of the DNA tests

on Harry Eldridge.

The lab found evidence

of three different bloods
on his clothing.

Three'?

Harry's, Dr. Lockhart's,
and a third unknown person.

So that person could have killed
both Harry and Lockhart.

Possibly. But it could also be
yet another victim.

The point is that Surrey ran
the third sample

through the
National Criminal Database.

And While they didn't find
an exact match,

it did flag up someone
from the ACPO files

with a very similar
genetic profile,

i.e. a direct
and close relative.

Really? Who'?

You.

Um, something to do with
high incidence of STRs.

"Short tandem
repeat polymorphisms

in the Y chromosome."

Apparently.

Now, I should stress that no one
else knows about this,

nor will they.

But the fact remains

that someone closely related
to you was present

when Harry, and possibly
Lockhart, were murdered.

The DNA is a man's.

The similarities make it clear

that the genes you have
in common are your father's.

I understand
you're an only child?

Your father
was never married before?

I'm sorry, but you'll understand
why I have to ask this.

Is it possible...

Did your father ever mention
another family?

No.
No, he didn't.

- Morning.
- You're late.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I had a bit
of a difficult night.

Well, Danny's in a care home.
How have the mighty fallen.

-[ Knock on door]
Daniel'?

Daniel, some people here
to see you.

Bugger off.

- Now, Daniel...
- Not them. You.

Old Bill.

Very Old Bill.

Detective Superintendent
Pullman, UCOS.

This is Jack Halford.

Happy Jack Halford.
I heard you'd retired.

We're here about
the death of Simon Lockhart.

December 1976.
He was a doctor at Bart's.

Never heard of him.

Until last week,

everyone thought Harry Eldridge
had killed him.

Oh, you've heard of him, then?

Oh, I've read about him.

Dug up in bits, close by the A3.
That the one'?

He had an IOU in his pocket.
One of yours, apparently.

- Nah.
- HALFORD: 500 quid?

That's a lot of nonrepayment.

What'? Someone owes me a monkey,
so I have 'em whacked?

[Chuckling ] You serious?

His business
wasn't doing too Well.

You were trying to
make a name for yourself.

I was a name.

Not after March '77,
you Weren't.

Must have hurt, that kicking
you got in Clerkenwell.

And just three months
after Harry disappeared.

We're getting DNA off that IOU.

They can do that nowadays.

And if it's found to be yours...

It ain't!

Look, leave me alone.
I'm an old man!

Unlike Lockhart.

I don't know nothing,
and neither do you.

So leave me alone.
Piss off!

He's a lying toad.

DNA Off an IOU'?

It was Worth a try.

Didn't rise to it, though,
did he?

Didn't seem very guilty, either.

No, sadly.

[Cellphone beeps]

It's Gerry.
He's got something on Vernon.

I'll tell you what --
Why don't you go to the market

and see if we can get access
to the old stall'?

- I'll meet you there.
- Right. See you later.

Okay, what is it'?

Get this.

Vernon Murnaghan has a 7% stake
in Eldridge Meats.

He's had the shares for years.
He used to have more.

So'?

Sandra, meat cutters buy

egg-and-bacon sarnies,
not shares.

It might make Vernon unusual,
Gerry,

but it doesn't
make him psychotic.

Oh, come on.

How come he's loaded when his
boss's business went belly up'?

I don't know. Maybe he did
win it all on the horses.

No. Nobody wins it all
on the horses.

I should know.

Anyway I'm gonna do
some more digging.

- Is that all right'?
- Knock yourself out.

[Chuckles]

Yes, if you do that tree --

Excuse me.
I've got to deal with this lady.

[Car door closes]

Morning.

Have you got some news'?

Not really, no.
I, um --

I just need to clarify
a few things.

We've spoken
with Vernon Murnaghan,

who apparently has shares
in the family business.

After my husband disappeared,

the family part
was rather diluted.

I had to try and secure
some more investment

in order to survive.

People in the market
were kind enough

to put money into the business.

Vernon was one of
the longer-term investors.

I hear it would have been
a fair bit of money,

especially for somebody
like Vernon who, presumably,

Wouldn't have been paid
that Well.

I know.
He used most of his savings.

He said it was
the least he could do

after everything
Harry had done for him.

Listen, Vernon,
I'm sorry about yesterday.

We seem to have got off
on the wrong foot.

Ah, it's water under the bridge.

You was only doing your job.
It's all forgotten about.

See, I'm from
a similar background to you,

and, well, I've got a lot
of time for people like you

who pull themselves up --

to the extent
that you even bought shares

in the business
you used to work for.

Well, like I said,
Harry was very good to me.

And when he left Julia
in schtuck,

well, the least I could do
was help her out a bit.

What, with money you won
on the mags'?

Yeah, that's right.
Do you play'?

Oh, no, not really.
No.

Bugger me!

[Chuckles]

Beginner's luck.

I do play, really.

It was a lie.
But not as big as yours.

Now, I've known
professional gamblers

who couldn't afford
a gaff like this.

So you'd better start leveling
with me, Mouthful.

Where'd you get the money from'?

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

You don't remember me, do you'?

I was one of those mugs
who bet with Danny Paye.

Danny Paye, who you ran
errands for in the '70s.

Is it my shot yet'?

There are a lot of people who
ain't gonna be very impressed

that he had a man inside
in the market

who had no loyalty
to his workmates

but to a lowlife gangster

who wanted to
muscle into Smithfield

and start a protection racket.

Ancient history, mate.

Is it'?

- Not to Sid and Barry Lestade.
- Eh?

Hi, Sid'?

It's your cousin Gerry.

Yeah, do you remember
Danny Paye'?

That's right, yeah.

And do you remember
how our dads were certain

that he had a man on the inside
at the market?

And do you remember
what you used to say

you were gonna do to him
if you found out who it was'?

That's right.
In little tiny bits.

Well, I've got
some news for you.

Just stop it!
Pack it in, will you'?!

Listen...

It was just the money, right'?

I mean,
I didn't do anything else.

Honest.
It was just the money!

Hello again.

Aye, aye.
Where's the scrote'?

Otherwise engaged.

Mind if I ask you
a couple of questions?

You two must have worked here
a good few years now.

Oh, man and boy.

1976'?

'76'?

Oh, well, now,
that's a long time ago.

- Danny Paye.
- Who?

HALFORD:
He was a bit of lowlife.

I say "was" --
He's still around.

Well, just.

All right.
What about March 1977'?

Danny was in a spot of bother.

He got himself so badly beaten

he didn't leave hospital
for a fortnight.

Turk's Head Yard.
About 500 yards that Way.

Hospital was Bart's.
About 200 yards that way.

March'?

I think we was both on holiday.

Skiing.

We're looking at a murder,
in this place, of a doctor.

A man who dedicated his life
to others, you know?

Well, I know I'd prefer
being grilled

by that good-looking bird.

Can't you get her back here, eh'?

-[ Laughs]
-[ Laughs]

Tell me, is it a family thing,
this --

not wanting to talk about
Danny Paye'?

I mean, what's the deal?

Well, you two, okay.

But why doesn't Gerry
want to know about it'?

Listen...

The truth is that Gerry's
in deep trouble over this.

I mean, we're talking jail here,
you understand?

And I'm trying to extract him.

The good-looking bird
doesn't even know I'm here.

And neither does Gerry.
So come on.

Let's have it.

[Sighs]

Well, in the '70s,
Gerry got into a bit of trouble.

Just the '70s'?

No, a lot of trouble.

Gambling.

He had all his lOUs -- They were
bought up by a loan shark.

- Danny Paye.
- Yeah. The same.

Well, Gerry couldn't
pay him back,

so he ended up taking a doing.

They made a right mess of him.

Well, Gerry being a cop
made the matter Worse.

He was told
that his debt would double

unless he could start coming up
with info

that Danny Paye could use.

Professionally.
- Yeah, exactly.

Ah, Gerry,
he didn't know what to do.

So he told his missus.

You know, his first wife.

She only goes
and tells his old man.

Oh, blimey.
Norman, he went bananas.

Norman's Gerry's father?

Yeah, our uncle.
That's right.

Well, he was a real character,
Uncle Norman.

Truth is, him and Gerry, they
were a lot like each other.

Well, Norman,
he couldn't care less

about the black sheep
being in hock.

His own silly fault, he says.

But he's buggered if he's gonna
let his son take a kicking

from a jumped-up, bullying
little toe-rag like Danny Paye.

So Norman, our dad, Barry, me...

Well, we was handy.
You know what I mean'?

30 other blokes from the market.

We had a rendezvous
with Danny Paye.

Him and a load of his guys
from Poplar.

Whoa! [Laughs]
It was a massacre!

[Laughs]

Happy days.

When I found Lockhart
hanging from that hook,

I knew Harry had done it.

Why'?

Because Harry Eldridge
was a nasty bastard

with a temper to match.

That's not
what everyone else says.

Well, they Wouldn't, would they?
It's the market.

Tell 'em nothing.
Especially the law.

But let me tell you something.

There were lot of people very
happy to see the back of him.

Okay.
So, what did you do then?

I checked out the safe
and opened it.

You opened the safe'?
How?

Well, I knew the combination,
didn't I'?

I'd seen Harry do it
enough times.

So you just helped yourself'?
How much'?

-12 grand.
- Oh!

Listen, I helped Julia out
with her problems, right,

and I put some of the cash
back into the business.

No. You bought shares, and it
wasn't even your bleedin' money!

Hold on. Hold on.

This all to do
with gambling debts, isn't it'?

How much did you owe Danny Paye'?

I didn't.

That IOU we found in Harry's
pocket was yours, wasn't it'?

He bought that debt
off of Danny,

the same way
that Danny bought mine.

You owed Harry that 500 quid,
didn't you'?

Listen, everybody did.

It was dog-eat-dog.

Do you know what?

Sometimes I think
I'm getting too old

for this kind of behavior.

But in your case,
I'm gonna make an exception.

Oh!

That's him, Doctor.

Mr. Lane'?

That's right.

And you are Dr. Carson?

Miranda Carson, nee Barnett.

1976. You shared a flat
with Simon Lockhart.

Dr. Lockhart.

I'm sorry, but as you can see,
I'm very busy.

Oh, that's all right,
I shall wait.

No.
It's out of the question.

It's all right.
I'm from the police.

Unsolved crime.

Actually, I'm here about a mur--

Yes, yes.
All right.

Come back at 1:00.
I can see you then.

[Knock on door]

Come in.

Ah.
They said I'd find you here.

Oh, hi.

Yeah.
The Drudge Report.

I take it this is what
your mother used to do.

The only Women
I've seen downstairs

are in the cash booths.

I don't think Germaine Greer
sells big in Smithfield.

So, tell me,

who fronted the business
after your father disappeared?

David Snow, I think, for a bit.

Vernon for awhile.

He did very Well.

David Snow, Vernon Murnaghan.

Yeah.
Worth their while.

They invested too.

Along with a fair few
others downstairs.

Uh, Jim Peach.
Colin Arthur.

- Lestades.
- Sid and Barry'?

Well, more their dad
and his brother, really.

- Do you know them'?
-Indirectly.

So all these people
put money in'?

So will it be okay to go and
have a look at the old stall'?

Yeah.

I'll ring security,
see if they'll let us in.

- Hello, Jean.
- What do you want'?

I'm here about Deirdre.

Look, no.
I told you everything.

Deirdre's boy. The one
my father brought to you.

Carl.
Was that his name?

He was my father's son,
wasn't he'?

- I don't know. Please --
- Yeah, you do know.

Was he my father's son'?

Right.

You took him somewhere.
You left him in some church.

Which one'? Where'?

- I can't remember.
- Wrong answer!

Nothing to worry about.

Just make sure that you get
an appointment with her GP

within the next week.

Thank you.

Can we make this brief'?

I've got a special case
conference at 2:00.

- Simon Lockhart.
- What about him'?

Well, it looks like the bloke

everyone thought might have
killed him might not have done.

Harry Eldridge.

He turned up.
Chopped up.

Oh, my God.

Exactly.

So you and Simon.

You shared a flat.

I rented a room in his flat.

Yeah, that's what you said
at the time.

Said you hardly knew him.

I didn't.

Mrs. Carson, the person
who out up Harry Eldridge

was very good at it.

At dissection.

Like a doctor, say.

You don't honestly think
I was involved.

1976.

You're 26.
Lockhart's 35.

I honestly think
you were lying to the police.

I honestly think
you were his girlfriend.

All right, all right.
Yes.

I was seeing him.

Thank you.

Why didn't you say that
at the time?

I'd only just qualified.

I didn't want all that had
happened to hang over me.

-It was very --
Inconvenient'?

So. Simon.
Tell me about him.

He was...charming.

Naughty but nice, as they say.

Naughty?

Well, he had
his fair amount of scrapes.

Hopeless with money.

- Bit of a gambler?
- That didn't help.

- So he could have owed money'?
- All over the place.

So, what did you mean
when you said "scrapes"?

He'd been up before the hospital
authorities a couple of times.

- What had he done'?
- Conduct unbecoming.

We were caught doing
what we shouldn't.

The other time was more serious.

He told me that,
just after he'd qualified,

he came into Bart's
with a teenage girl

who was seriously ill
after an illegal abortion.

Now, this was in 1966,
pre the Abortion Act.

- And'?
-It was probably his girlfriend.

But by bringing her in,
he helped save her life.

So in the end,
the hospital just censured him.

It's all changed.

It's all changed.

There was so much stuff
being built back then.

Jean, that's St. Paul's.
It survived the blitz.

JEAN:
I remember this.

Yeah, I-l think...

We're close.

It's -- It's just 'round here.

I - - -

Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, I remember.
That's the one.

Where'?

Where did you leave him, Jean?

What did you say to him'?

Uh, to stay there.
That he'd be all right.

That someone would come
take care of him.

- What did he say'?
- Nothing.

There was something wrong
with him since his mum died.

He couldn't speak.
It was some sort of shock thing.

So you -- you left this small
boy, who couldn't speak --

You just left him --
You just...left him here'?

And you never saw him or heard
anything about him ever again'?

- Can I go now'?
- Yes, I think you'd better.

[ Footsteps ]

MAN:
Ah, I thought I heard someone.

- Are you all right'?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Um, are you in charge?

I'm the vicar here, yes.
Paul Rees.

Detective Superintendent
Pullman.

Um, I'm trying to find out
what happened

to a young boy who was
left here, in this church,

some 35 years ago.

He was actually abandoned.

'Round about 1974.

Is there any way that you might
know what happened to him'?

Not personally.

But, yes, I recall my
predecessor talking about it.

Really'?
- Of course.

It was obviously very unusual.

The boy was disturbed, I think.

Yes.

Yes, he was.
Yeah.

A parishioner found him.

She and Canon Parry took him
to Bart's, to the hospital,

to have him looked at,
checked over.

Is there any way that we could
find out the exact date'?

Possibly. I'd need to go
and check the church records.

-[ Cellphone rings]
- I'm terribly sorry.

- Don't worry. Go ahead.
- Thank you.

Jack.

Where are you'?

Brian and I are at the old stall
at Smithfield.

Yeah, I'm -- It's okay.
I'm only 'round the corner.

- I'll be with you in a sec.
- There's news.

Okay.
I'm on my Way.

Um, this...

This is my number.

If you do find out anything,
could you give me a ring'?

- Yes, I will.
- Thank you.

LANE:
This place is a deathtrap.

Oh, sorry.
It's a figure of speech.

That's all right.

- Oh, m.
+11.

- Mind how you go.
- Thank you. Thank you.

Well, this is it.

There's the rail and the hooks.

PULLMAN:
Do you remember this place?

TOM:
Before my time.

Hang somebody up
on a hook that high,

you'd have to be pretty strong.

And pretty mad.

LANE:
Well, I've seen enough.

- Thanks very much.
- Anytime.

Thank you.

You said there was news'?

Dr. Lockhart gambled.
A lot.

Owed money.

Who to'?
Danny Paye'?

He was a bit of a one
with the ladies, apparently.

And he also got into trouble
with the hospital authorities.

He might have carried out
an illegal abortion in '66.

None of this was in the file.

You?

[Sighs]

Seems half the market
helped Julia out

when Harry disappeared.

Vernon, Snow,
and Gerry's family.

What is it'?

1976, Gerry got into debt
with Danny Paye.

Heavily.
They worked him over.

And the seeing-to
that Danny and Co. got

was payback from Gerry's dad
and family.

Where is he'?

Oh, hello again.
What can I do you for'?

A word.

Bit busy.

You'll be a lot less busy
unless we have a word.

Now, I've heard
that Harry Eldridge

wasn't quite the happy-go-lucky
chappy we were led to believe.

Feel free to jump in.

He could be a bit tricky.

Tricky?
As in violent?

How much did you owe him'?

Not a lot.

250'?

350.

- I didn't kill him!
- No, of course not.

But you Weren't
exactly devastated

when somebody else did.

MAN: Oi, Snowy.

All right.
What have I done now'?

You didn't tell me about you and
Danny Paye, your former bookie.

What was the general idea?

That somehow We'd get
through this investigation

Without me ever finding out'?

You cannot be that stupid.

I didn't say anything
because I knew Danny Paye,

and I knew
this wasn't his style.

Oh, right, he just tended to
break a few bones

rather than chop 'em up
with a meat cleaver.

He had nothing to do with it.

- And I did not lie.
- You didn't tell the truth.

Well, I'm sorry we can't all be

perfect coppers like you,
can We'?

I mean, you've never held
anything back, have you'?

No, I haven't!
Not from each other.

Not when it's vital
to the case, Gerry.

This isn't vital!

Right. Fine.
I've got news for you.

Lockhart liked a little flutter.
And guess What.

Just like you,
he was crap at it.

And he was deep in debt.
Just like you.

Really?

Okay, so tell me, what has this
got to do with Vernon Murnaghan

nicking 12 grand
out of Eldridge's safe, eh'?

Dave! Dave!
Come here.

Tell her about Eldridge.

Go on.

Lowed Harry money.

A few of the market people did.

Yeah. Him, 350.
Vernon, 500.

Danny Paye wasn't the only shark
in the market.

What about the Lestades'?
Did they owe Harry money'?

I doubt it.
Especially not Norman.

Why'd he help Julia out, then?

You can go away now.

My people are straight.
Dead straight.

Well, something isn't.
So tomorrow you need to ask 'em.

And Jack will go with you.

LANE:
We're missing a trick here.

Doc Lockhart's supposed to have
just joined this game of spoof,

and then, bang, he's murdered
and hung up on a hook'?

But as Danny Paye says,

you don't kill someone
who owes you money.

You do what he did to Gerry.

Yeah, well,
thanks for the memory.

No, Lockhart's death's
about something else.

He knew something.
Or somebody.

He didn't.
Everyone says.

Yeah, I know what everyone says.

But there's a lot of what
everyone says in this case

turns out to be
only the half of it.

Bart's is, what,
300 yards from the market.

Lockhart's in A&E.

He must have treated any number
of people from 'round there.

[ Indistinct talking ]

[Cellphone rings]

Hello'?

Good morning.
It's Paul Rees.

From Saint Bartholomew's.

Oh, hi.

I tried ringing you last night.

Yeah, sorry.
I-l turned it off.

Well, the good news is I've
found what you're looking for.

It's a sort of diary.

I've got it with me
here at the church.

Okay, right.
I'll be right there.

Thanks very much.
Bye.

[Door opens]

Look, this is just unfair.

I know.
I'm really sorry.

I thought you might
do me a favor.

A favor?

We need to try and find out

who Simon Lockhart
might have seen at work.

Leading up to when he died.

Well, you could find out
much quicker than I could.

Are you saying you want me to
trawl through hospital records?

I have a list of names.

There's only about four or five.

You didn't help us 33 years ago.
You could do now.

[Paper rustles]

You'd only need to look back
about 12, 18 months.

Up to December 1976.

Go on.

See if he treated
any of that lot.

You could get your secretary
to do it.

She's very good.

STANDING: I don't know
what I'm gonna say to 'em.

- HALFORD: Want me to do it'?
STANDING: No, no.

Morning, boys.

Bleedin' hell.
Ain't you got no home to go to'?

Don't see you for months on end,

now I'm sick
of the sight of you.

So it worked out all right
in the end, then, eh'?

You're not in trouble anymore?
Eh'?

Oh, your mate here said
you was in the shit

if we didn't let on
about you and Danny Paye.

He said you were,
well, looking at doing time.

What have you been telling them'?

No, he lied, you muppet.

It's true.

Anyway, the bad news is

we've got to pump you for
more info about my old man.

What about him'?

Well, we know that he put money
into Eldridge's business

after Harry disappeared.

But what we don't know is
whether he owed Harry any money.

Norman?
Don't be daft.

So Why'd he do it'?

Well, he was fond of her,
Weren't he'?

Julia.
Had a soft spot for her.

What, he fancied her'?

Oi. Oi.
That's out of order.

I've seen her.
She's a good-looking woman.

Cut it out.
Both of you.

Listen, this is my dad We're
talking about, and he's dead.

Yeah, and I'm telling you --
Julia was on her uppers.

She needed help.

Single woman. A boy who'd
lost his dad all of a sudden.

She couldn't cope.

And the boy, whoa.
He was in a right state.

Now, your dad forked out

so that Julia could send him
to a special school

While she tried to
keep the business going.

What, out of the goodness
of his heart?

Did Norman like Harry Eldridge'?

Yeah. Course he did.
Everybody did.

That's what everybody said
30 years ago.

Not what they're saying now.

Look, this is my old man.
Just tell us the truth.

[ Footsteps ]

[ Footsteps ]

- Hello.
- Hello.

Thank you for calling me.

I uh, I had to
root around a bit.

The actual date fell
right at the end of the book,

so it took a bit of time.

The good news is,
Canon Parry added a note

subsequent to the entry
he made on the day.

He obviously
took a keen interest

in what happened to the boy.

May s, 1974.

You'll see he writes
that when the boy was found,

he seemed unable to speak.

The interesting thing
is this note

which Canon Parry
obviously made some time later.

He writes that there was
a refreshingly happy outcome

to this story.

It appears
that the Woman who found him --

Canon Parry suggests
because the husband

had a fair amount
of influence --

was eventually allowed
to adopt the boy.

By this time, he was
beginning to talk again.

This -- This is the Woman
who found him'?

Julia Eldridge.

Do you know the name?

[Clears throat]

Didn't take long, did it'?

Yes. Well, all the records
have been put on computer now.

None of these people is down
as having been treated by Simon.

But there is someone
related to one of them.

Harry Eldridge's wife,
apparently.

Julia Eldridge'?

Do you know why she came in'?

Facial injuries.
Fractured cheekbone.

That was about six Weeks
before Simon died.

She'd also been in
a month before too.

No fractures but badly bruised.

I've written it all down there
for you.

May I go now?

- Yeah. Yes, of course.
- Thank you.

Oh, I Wonder...

I couldn't use your telephone,
could I'?

[Cellphone rings]

- But how did my dad know'?
“Just by chance.

He was standing the other side
of the roundabout

when Julia came out of Bart's
with her face all bound up.

He...

He always liked her.

So he goes up to her
and asked her what happened.

- She told him'?
- BARRY: Nah.

She said
she'd fallen down the stairs.

- Norman knew it was bull.
- HALFORD: Why?

Because he knew Harry Eldridge.

Knew what he was like.

Go on.

Your old man comes back to the
market and goes up to see Harry.

Told him, "if you lay a finger
on Julia again..."

- He'd kill him.
-[ Cellphone rings]

Jack Halford.

It's me -- Brian.
Listen, we have to find Sandra.

- Julia Eldridge --
- Yes. We know.

Thank you.

You look very serious.

Some time ago,
I worked on a case

involving a small boy
who ended up disappearing.

In fact he was, um --

He was abandoned
in Saint Bart's Church in 1974.

I only discovered today that you
were the person who found him.

My God.

I understand that, eventually,
he was adopted by you.

Yes, he was.

Julia, I need to know
what happened to him.

- What do you mean'?
- What happened to him'?

It was...

Uh, he was Tom.

Tom.

- You changed his name.
- Well, he didn't have a name.

He was so traumatized,
he didn't speak.

No one could discover
what he was called, and, uh --

So we called him Tom.

Julia, we found quite a lot
of blood on Harry's clothes.

Some of it was Lockhart's.
Most of it was Harry's.

But we also found
another person's blood, so...

I need you to explain why Tom's
blood was on Harry's clothes.

Well, I don't know how it --

how -- how Tom's blood
could be on Harry's clothes.

It's not possible.

Do you know, so far
everyone I've spoken to

connected with this case
has lied to me.

And actually I've had enough.

So could you just tell me
the truth, please?

Tom's blood is on Harry's
clothes because he was there.

He was here when Harry died.

When I was 17, I got pregnant
by a young doctor.

He asked me to have an abortion.
It was still illegal then.

- And he messed it up.
- Lockhart.

He got me into Bart's,
and they...

They managed to
sort it out, but...

I never saw him again --
not till 10 years later.

That was after you adopted Tom'?

Harry and I
couldn't have children.

So he was very happy
when we found Tom.

He thought it was
divine intervention.

We loved him.

I loved him so much.

But Tom had problems.

He needed special help,
and Harry ended up

seeing him not so much
as a blessing, as a curse.

And then he started to
take it out on me.

How?

He used to hit me.

And that's how
I came across Lockhart again.

In Bart's.
In A&E.

He found out about Harry,
who he was.

He was...bankrupt.

And he said that if
I didn't give him money,

he would go to Harry --
Harry, the devout Catholic --

and tell him that the reason
we were childless

was because I'd had an abortion.

What did you do'?

I said no.

But Lookhart was as good
as his word.

And he, that Saturday,

came and he found Harry
and told him,

and Harry killed him.

And then Harry came home,
and he tried to kill me.

And Tom was there'?

In the kitchen.

Harry grabbed a knife.

He came towards me,
and Tom tried to stop him.

He was crying
and screaming and...

And we struggled with...

And then...

we fell down.

He just lay there.

And then blood started to
come out of his mouth.

Tom was in shock.

Harry...

- Harry fell on the knife'?
- Yes.

We sort of
had hold of each other,

and then we tripped and fell.

All of us in a pile.

Harry's arm was sort of
like this.

And the knife went up
into his back.

Up into his back?

Yes.

That's not how it happened,
Julia.

That's -- That's not
how it happened.

It was Tom, wasn't it'?

Oh, Tom, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

TOM: [Crying]

He's my brother.

JULIA: I'm sorry, baby.
I'm sorry.

Oh,Tom.

That's my brother.
