1
00:00:03,283 --> 00:00:05,579
'You're listening to Coast
Radio South. It's Friday.
2
00:00:05,603 --> 00:00:08,059
'It's just coming
up to five o'clock,
3
00:00:08,083 --> 00:00:10,539
'and the weekend starts,
quite literally, here.
4
00:00:10,563 --> 00:00:14,379
'It's nearly home time.
We've got news on the hour.
5
00:00:14,403 --> 00:00:17,323
'But before that, we've got a
little traffic and weather check...'
6
00:02:25,683 --> 00:02:28,459
BUTTON CLICKS
7
00:02:28,483 --> 00:02:30,379
LIFT CLANKS
8
00:02:30,403 --> 00:02:33,219
GRINDING
9
00:02:33,243 --> 00:02:34,739
PANICKED BREATHING
10
00:02:34,763 --> 00:02:36,499
LOUD CLANKING
11
00:02:36,523 --> 00:02:39,243
WHIRRING
12
00:03:33,283 --> 00:03:37,659
It's going to take the whole
weekend to get her free of the silt.
13
00:03:37,683 --> 00:03:38,939
Her?
14
00:03:38,963 --> 00:03:40,739
The male skeleton is
generally more robust,
15
00:03:40,763 --> 00:03:44,139
and the proportions are
different. The hyoid is broken.
16
00:03:44,163 --> 00:03:47,299
The small, U-shaped bone that
keeps the tongue in place.
17
00:03:47,323 --> 00:03:49,419
Strangulation? Textbook.
18
00:03:49,443 --> 00:03:53,019
Presence of the wisdom teeth
tells us she is over 17.
19
00:03:53,043 --> 00:03:55,859
I'd put her between 25 to 40.
20
00:03:55,883 --> 00:03:58,339
Any idea how long
she's been here?
21
00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:00,499
There's evidence of
some dental work.
22
00:04:00,523 --> 00:04:01,939
White fillings,
23
00:04:01,963 --> 00:04:05,499
which tend to have been more
common over the past three decades.
24
00:04:05,523 --> 00:04:08,963
But there's a cap on one maxillary
incisor which looks more recent.
25
00:04:10,003 --> 00:04:12,083
Last ten years, maybe?
26
00:04:15,323 --> 00:04:19,203
Looks like someone's career's
going down the sewer, eh?
27
00:04:22,883 --> 00:04:26,219
It's a storm drain for the old
Brighton to Kemp Town railway.
28
00:04:26,243 --> 00:04:28,339
It was built to stop
water flooding the line.
29
00:04:28,363 --> 00:04:30,939
And nobody knew it was here?
Well, that's planning for you.
30
00:04:30,963 --> 00:04:32,259
People forget.
31
00:04:32,283 --> 00:04:34,699
Now, the line links the
city's sewerage system,
32
00:04:34,723 --> 00:04:37,299
which discharges a
mile or so out to sea.
33
00:04:37,323 --> 00:04:39,619
So if the pathologist
is saying foul play,
34
00:04:39,643 --> 00:04:42,459
then, presumably, the killer
put the body down the drain
35
00:04:42,483 --> 00:04:44,219
expecting the same
thing to happen.
36
00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:47,043
Yeah, but they hadn't considered
it not flooding the drain.
37
00:04:48,403 --> 00:04:49,499
Oh, Christ.
38
00:04:49,523 --> 00:04:51,403
Good luck, boss.
Here comes Pepe.
39
00:04:54,523 --> 00:04:56,059
Evening, Roy.
40
00:04:56,083 --> 00:04:58,459
Cassian. I wasn't
expecting you till Monday.
41
00:04:58,483 --> 00:05:00,939
Allie Vosper
suggested I drop by.
42
00:05:00,963 --> 00:05:03,659
Well, it's very kind
of her, but, erm
43
00:05:03,683 --> 00:05:06,179
it'll be slow work until Monday.
44
00:05:06,203 --> 00:05:08,779
You got all the CSIs and
search officers you need?
45
00:05:08,803 --> 00:05:11,539
I have. Thank you.
No Glenn Branson?
46
00:05:11,563 --> 00:05:14,219
Usually Me And My Shadow
with you two, isn't it?
47
00:05:14,243 --> 00:05:18,459
Or is he still on light
duties after getting shot?
48
00:05:18,483 --> 00:05:20,059
Wedding anniversary.
49
00:05:20,083 --> 00:05:22,299
I'm sorry you've had
a wasted journey.
50
00:05:22,323 --> 00:05:25,139
If you'd given me a call, I
could've saved you the bother.
51
00:05:25,163 --> 00:05:27,099
Never a bother, Roy.
52
00:05:27,123 --> 00:05:29,083
Pleasure. Always.
53
00:05:30,283 --> 00:05:31,603
Sergeant.
54
00:05:36,763 --> 00:05:38,739
You know what Hughie
Green would've said?
55
00:05:38,763 --> 00:05:40,819
"If you can't
spell Cassian Pewe,
56
00:05:40,843 --> 00:05:43,683
"just write down 'pompous shitehawk'
and we'll know who you mean."
57
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:46,563
Unbelievable.
58
00:05:56,043 --> 00:05:59,363
PANICKED BREATHING
59
00:06:01,483 --> 00:06:02,723
SHE EXHALES
60
00:06:11,923 --> 00:06:14,219
FRANTIC PRESSING
61
00:06:14,243 --> 00:06:16,843
BANGING
62
00:06:23,603 --> 00:06:25,059
Help!
63
00:06:25,083 --> 00:06:26,603
Hello?
64
00:06:27,843 --> 00:06:30,739
BANGING I'm stuck!
I'm in the lift!
65
00:06:30,763 --> 00:06:32,619
Help!
66
00:06:32,643 --> 00:06:36,019
Somebody help!
67
00:06:36,043 --> 00:06:38,163
Am I the love of your life?
68
00:06:40,043 --> 00:06:41,739
Mm-hm.
69
00:06:41,763 --> 00:06:43,803
Am I, Grace?
70
00:06:45,883 --> 00:06:47,059
You are.
71
00:06:47,083 --> 00:06:49,219
You're not lying to me, are you?
72
00:06:49,243 --> 00:06:51,339
You're so needy. SHE LAUGHS.
73
00:06:51,363 --> 00:06:53,459
You're so boring!
74
00:06:53,483 --> 00:06:55,219
We're on a romantic
weekend away,
75
00:06:55,243 --> 00:06:57,379
and you've got your nose
stuck in whatever it is.
76
00:06:57,403 --> 00:06:59,899
Annual crime report.
It's important.
77
00:06:59,923 --> 00:07:02,139
Oh, and I'm what?
78
00:07:02,163 --> 00:07:04,739
Work, work, work.
Read, read, read.
79
00:07:04,763 --> 00:07:07,739
Just so boring, boring, boring!
80
00:07:07,763 --> 00:07:10,699
What's up? Pay attention to me.
81
00:07:10,723 --> 00:07:12,299
Come on, Dobbin. Giddy-up!
82
00:07:12,323 --> 00:07:15,139
Once around the Great Hall. Mm.
83
00:07:15,163 --> 00:07:18,219
"My Sex Pest Hell,
by Top Brighton Cop."
84
00:07:18,243 --> 00:07:20,443
SHE LAUGHS SOFTLY
85
00:07:33,243 --> 00:07:34,683
HE CRIES OUT
86
00:07:37,603 --> 00:07:39,363
HE EXHALES
87
00:07:41,723 --> 00:07:43,723
Oh... Hey... Hey...
88
00:07:45,923 --> 00:07:47,859
It's OK.
89
00:07:47,883 --> 00:07:49,643
You're OK.
90
00:07:52,883 --> 00:07:54,603
Yeah, sorry. Er...
91
00:07:59,323 --> 00:08:01,163
Do you want to talk about it?
92
00:08:04,603 --> 00:08:07,123
It's not... It's not
good to keep it inside.
93
00:08:10,203 --> 00:08:12,403
If not to me, then someone.
94
00:08:13,523 --> 00:08:15,003
Glenn, whoever.
95
00:08:19,363 --> 00:08:20,923
Is it work?
96
00:08:22,363 --> 00:08:23,723
Yeah.
97
00:08:25,723 --> 00:08:27,659
I-I'm OK.
98
00:08:27,683 --> 00:08:30,163
Sorry I woke you. Mm.
99
00:08:52,363 --> 00:08:54,739
DNA samples from the hair and
a bone sample from the thigh
100
00:08:54,763 --> 00:08:56,699
have been sent for analysis.
101
00:08:56,723 --> 00:08:59,299
I'm no orthodontist,
but four fillings.
102
00:08:59,323 --> 00:09:02,339
Three white composite,
one gold inlay.
103
00:09:02,363 --> 00:09:05,899
An all-porcelain bridge from
upper right six to four.
104
00:09:05,923 --> 00:09:07,483
But this is interesting...
105
00:09:08,923 --> 00:09:12,579
I might be wrong, but I think
lab analysis will tell us
106
00:09:12,603 --> 00:09:14,579
that this is carpet fibre.
107
00:09:14,603 --> 00:09:18,283
Too hard to be from a pullover
or a skirt or a cushion cover.
108
00:09:19,523 --> 00:09:20,899
Where did you find it?
109
00:09:20,923 --> 00:09:24,059
Artificial nail.
From a nail bar.
110
00:09:24,083 --> 00:09:25,899
A plastic compound, glued on.
111
00:09:25,923 --> 00:09:29,099
Somehow, the nails didn't
get to be washed away
112
00:09:29,123 --> 00:09:31,339
while the skin beneath rotted.
113
00:09:31,363 --> 00:09:33,779
The fibre was beneath
the middle finger.
114
00:09:33,803 --> 00:09:36,659
It could be that her assailant
dragged her along a carpet
115
00:09:36,683 --> 00:09:38,979
and she dug her nails in.
116
00:09:39,003 --> 00:09:41,283
SCREAMING
117
00:09:43,923 --> 00:09:46,523
Bit of luck that it
didn't get washed away.
118
00:09:51,763 --> 00:09:53,979
So, what did I miss? Anything
from the site to go by?
119
00:09:54,003 --> 00:09:56,219
Search is continuing,
but nothing as yet.
120
00:09:56,243 --> 00:09:58,019
I wouldn't get your hopes up.
121
00:09:58,043 --> 00:10:00,939
Whatever went in there with her,
if there was anything at all,
122
00:10:00,963 --> 00:10:03,219
has long since washed away.
123
00:10:03,243 --> 00:10:05,019
Hey, your old mate Cassian Pewe
124
00:10:05,043 --> 00:10:07,203
gets his boots under the
desk today, doesn't he?
125
00:10:09,083 --> 00:10:11,563
GRACE EXHALES That's
what's up, isn't it?
126
00:10:12,963 --> 00:10:14,659
You're not right.
127
00:10:14,683 --> 00:10:16,459
Sandy had a tooth capped.
128
00:10:16,483 --> 00:10:17,699
Roy...
129
00:10:17,723 --> 00:10:19,619
Same height. Same build.
130
00:10:19,643 --> 00:10:21,139
It's not her. Same hair colour.
131
00:10:21,163 --> 00:10:22,419
Come on... Same age.
132
00:10:22,443 --> 00:10:24,899
Roy, no. Stop, OK?
133
00:10:24,923 --> 00:10:28,459
You can't keep imagining that
every Jane Doe is gonna be Sandy.
134
00:10:28,483 --> 00:10:29,739
You can't do it.
135
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:32,859
You really think that's not how
it is every time I get called out?
136
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:35,219
Every time the phone rings
in the middle of the night?
137
00:10:35,243 --> 00:10:37,219
It's the last thing I think
of when I go to sleep,
138
00:10:37,243 --> 00:10:39,059
and the first thing I
think of in the morning.
139
00:10:39,083 --> 00:10:40,699
Is today the day? Roy...
140
00:10:40,723 --> 00:10:43,683
Is today the day that
I find Sandy? Roy.
141
00:10:46,083 --> 00:10:47,923
Look, I'll, er...
142
00:10:57,243 --> 00:10:58,723
Erm...
143
00:11:00,363 --> 00:11:03,419
Darren's had to...
cry off his shift.
144
00:11:03,443 --> 00:11:05,363
Right.
145
00:11:06,443 --> 00:11:07,899
So I'm going to be
on call tonight.
146
00:11:07,923 --> 00:11:09,163
Sure.
147
00:11:10,563 --> 00:11:13,123
We should probably talk.
148
00:11:15,083 --> 00:11:16,883
Yeah. Course.
149
00:11:31,923 --> 00:11:34,259
I'm gonna book off for an hour.
150
00:11:34,283 --> 00:11:35,899
I'll see you back
on the shop floor.
151
00:11:35,923 --> 00:11:37,579
Hey.
152
00:11:37,603 --> 00:11:39,763
You all right? Yeah.
153
00:11:41,163 --> 00:11:43,683
Yeah, there's just something
I need to take care of.
154
00:11:56,363 --> 00:11:58,243
LOUD CLANKING
155
00:12:01,923 --> 00:12:03,923
CLUNK, ALARM RINGS
156
00:12:05,203 --> 00:12:07,099
MAN: Can you hear me down there?
157
00:12:07,123 --> 00:12:08,843
MEN GRUNTING
158
00:12:10,843 --> 00:12:13,299
There. You all right, love?
You all right in there?
159
00:12:13,323 --> 00:12:15,819
Don't worry, you're safe, pet.
160
00:12:15,843 --> 00:12:17,699
You've had a weekend
of it, haven't you?
161
00:12:17,723 --> 00:12:19,339
Come on.
162
00:12:19,363 --> 00:12:21,963
That's it.
163
00:13:10,043 --> 00:13:12,619
Roy.
164
00:13:12,643 --> 00:13:14,899
I've just been welcoming
Cassian to the team.
165
00:13:14,923 --> 00:13:17,899
Since you'll have your hands full
with this body in the storm drain,
166
00:13:17,923 --> 00:13:19,699
I'd like Cass to
start his time here
167
00:13:19,723 --> 00:13:21,603
by looking through
your cold case files.
168
00:13:23,483 --> 00:13:24,859
I have
169
00:13:24,883 --> 00:13:27,459
quite a particular
system in place, Ma'am.
170
00:13:27,483 --> 00:13:31,483
Which you can explain to Detective
Superintendent Pewe, I'm sure.
171
00:13:33,443 --> 00:13:36,179
Thank you, Cassian.
That'll be all.
172
00:13:36,203 --> 00:13:38,019
Ma'am.
173
00:13:38,043 --> 00:13:39,523
Roy.
174
00:13:45,243 --> 00:13:48,179
The Met is the biggest and most
innovative police force in the UK.
175
00:13:48,203 --> 00:13:51,523
I think we can learn something
from Cassian. Such as?
176
00:13:52,523 --> 00:13:55,059
Off the top of my head
177
00:13:55,083 --> 00:13:58,019
how to run an operation that
doesn't leave Branson shot
178
00:13:58,043 --> 00:14:00,763

He's good, Mum. He's good.

Listen, that Clerwell

214
00:16:13,803 --> 00:16:16,699
They've got a beautiful room with

00:16:19,883 --> 00:16:22,139
Don't worry about that.
I'm taking care of it.

OK, Mum. All right, well,
I'll call you soon, OK?
222
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:40,723
You take care. 'Love you.'

who fall into the estimated time
period of the victim's death.

00:17:05,123 --> 00:17:06,859
Everything all right?
228
00:17:06,883 --> 00:17:08,859
Yeah. It's just
229
00:17:08,883 --> 00:17:10,883
the list includes your wife.
230
00:17:13,523 --> 00:17:15,659
And so it should.
231
00:17:15,683 --> 00:17:18,659
OK, where are we with the
sewer and the storm drain?
232
00:17:18,683 --> 00:17:20,219
There's a few entry points.
233
00:17:20,243 --> 00:17:22,419
The council sewer team are
drawing us up a schematic.
234
00:17:22,443 --> 00:17:25,619
The outlet goes far enough out
to sea to ensure all sewage
235
00:17:25,643 --> 00:17:28,699
gets transported offshore by the
current, rather than towards it.
236
00:17:28,723 --> 00:17:31,059
Presumably, that's what
the killer was banking on.

Someone who knows the system.

not part of the sewerage

even know it's there.

Single or married? Married.
278
00:21:01,763 --> 00:21:02,859
She was an actress.
279
00:21:02,883 --> 00:21:05,339
Don't know the full story
yet, but they split up,
280
00:21:05,363 --> 00:21:09,179
and she went to Los Angeles
to, you know, make her name.

Sounds like we should have
a chat with Mr Welbeck.
283

That'd be a bit one-sided.

Mrs Balkwill?

Detective Superintendent
Pewe, East Sussex CID.
291
00:21:42,323 --> 00:21:45,859
I wonder if I might have a quick
word with you and your husband?
292
00:21:45,883 --> 00:21:47,803
It's about Sandy.
293
00:21:58,123 --> 00:22:01,259
I've been brought in from the Met
to review cold cases in East Sussex.
294
00:22:01,283 --> 00:22:03,019
And...
295
00:22:03,043 --> 00:22:05,619
I don't think your
daughter's disappearance
296
00:22:05,643 --> 00:22:07,603
has been adequately
investigated.
297
00:22:09,763 --> 00:22:11,323
In what way?
298
00:22:12,363 --> 00:22:15,899
Well, normally, when
a wife goes missing,
299
00:22:15,923 --> 00:22:19,339
the husband is instantly
the prime suspect.
300
00:22:19,363 --> 00:22:21,939
But it doesn't seem
that your son-in-law
301
00:22:21,963 --> 00:22:24,283
was ever formally
regarded as such.
302
00:22:26,163 --> 00:22:28,419
Are you saying that's
what you think now?
303
00:22:28,443 --> 00:22:30,899
Not at all.
304
00:22:30,923 --> 00:22:32,939
But I think radical
steps need to be taken
305
00:22:32,963 --> 00:22:35,219
to eliminate him from
suspicion, and...
306
00:22:35,243 --> 00:22:37,019
I mean to take them.
307
00:22:37,043 --> 00:22:38,643
For everyone's sake.
308
00:22:42,763 --> 00:22:45,243
Would you say Sandy's
was a happy marriage?
309
00:22:47,323 --> 00:22:51,059
Well, she had to put up
with being on her own a lot.
310
00:22:51,083 --> 00:22:53,659
And being disappointed
at the last minute
311
00:22:53,683 --> 00:22:55,619
when he got called out for work.
312
00:22:55,643 --> 00:22:57,939
I mean, you must have
a bit of that too.
313
00:22:57,963 --> 00:23:00,403
Oh, I'm not married,
Mrs Balkwill.
314
00:23:03,763 --> 00:23:05,459
We
315
00:23:05,483 --> 00:23:08,203
don't think that
Roy is a suspect.
316
00:23:10,083 --> 00:23:13,059
Y-You mustn't go jumping
to the wrong conclusions.
317
00:23:13,083 --> 00:23:15,819
This is merely about closure.
318
00:23:15,843 --> 00:23:18,819
Enabling you and your husband
319
00:23:18,843 --> 00:23:20,803

Thank you.
323
00:23:34,803 --> 00:23:37,419
Now, there was very
little wreckage recovered,
324
00:23:37,443 --> 00:23:39,299
but what there was indicated
325
00:23:39,323 --> 00:23:43,019
that the aircraft was subject
to a sudden catastrophic event.
326
00:23:43,043 --> 00:23:44,939
What do you mean, like...
What, like a bomb?
327
00:23:44,963 --> 00:23:46,219
Yeah. Or a lightning strike.
328
00:23:46,243 --> 00:23:49,299
See, it was a very stormy night.
But there was no mayday sent.
329
00:23:49,323 --> 00:23:51,859
It was just there one
minute and gone the next.
330
00:23:51,883 --> 00:23:56,139
Speculation was that it most likely
exploded and broke up in mid-air.
331
00:23:56,163 --> 00:23:57,659
What about bodies?
332
00:23:57,683 --> 00:24:00,539
Never recovered. Ronnie
Welbeck, nor the pilot.
333
00:24:00,563 --> 00:24:02,739
Now, they found some
personal property,
334
00:24:02,763 --> 00:24:03,939
and a shoe of Ronnie's
335
00:24:03,963 --> 00:24:06,339
that indicated he was on
the plane when it went down.
336
00:24:06,363 --> 00:24:09,379
Now, his wife, Lorraine,
identified it all as his.
337
00:24:09,403 --> 00:24:12,699
Lorraine? So he... remarried?
338
00:24:12,723 --> 00:24:14,619
Yeah, looks that way.
339
00:24:14,643 --> 00:24:17,499
All right. Well, let's
try and track her down.
340
00:24:17,523 --> 00:24:21,459
In the meantime, what information
do we have on Joanna Welbeck?
341
00:24:21,483 --> 00:24:24,699
Any family we can talk to?
No. Parents are deceased.
342
00:24:24,723 --> 00:24:27,619
Same as Ronnie Welbeck. Yeah,
well, Ronnie had previous.
343
00:24:27,643 --> 00:24:29,739
First time on the radar was '97.
344
00:24:29,763 --> 00:24:32,859
He worked for a dodgy
second-hand car dealership,
345
00:24:32,883 --> 00:24:36,379
clocking cars and knocking out
cut-and-shuts with Sean Klinger.
346
00:24:36,403 --> 00:24:38,139
Sean "The Snowman" Klinger, eh?
347
00:24:38,163 --> 00:24:40,299
Brighton and Hove's
very own Escobar.
348
00:24:40,323 --> 00:24:42,939
Yeah, well, him and Ronnie
started out working together.
349
00:24:42,963 --> 00:24:44,699
Then they got into
a bunch of trouble
350
00:24:44,723 --> 00:24:46,299
over a bunch of clocked cars,
351
00:24:46,323 --> 00:24:48,259
and the business
disappeared overnight.
352
00:24:48,283 --> 00:24:50,939
The entire garage burned
down, with all the records.
353
00:24:50,963 --> 00:24:52,643
12 months, suspended.
354
00:25:00,083 --> 00:25:02,123
DOOR BUZZER
355
00:25:07,523 --> 00:25:09,483
Come on up. Seventh floor.
356
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,163
KNOCK AT DOOR
357
00:25:35,803 --> 00:25:37,243
SHE GRUNTS
358
00:25:39,843 --> 00:25:41,819
SHE GASPS FOR BREATH
359
00:25:41,843 --> 00:25:43,283
Nice to see you, Abb.
360
00:25:50,043 --> 00:25:52,243
Not mad about the new look.
361
00:26:15,563 --> 00:26:19,419
'Just a few questions about the
late Ronnie Welbeck, Mr Klinger.'
362
00:26:19,443 --> 00:26:21,579
You were close, I understand.
363
00:26:21,603 --> 00:26:24,939
Well, I knew him. What about
Joanna, his first wife?
364
00:26:24,963 --> 00:26:27,139
Yeah, I knew both of
'em. Jo and Lorraine.
365
00:26:27,163 --> 00:26:29,419
What was Jo like?
366
00:26:29,443 --> 00:26:33,659
Ex-lap dancer. Nice arse. But
367
00:26:33,683 --> 00:26:36,059
volatile. That's
the word, isn't it?
368
00:26:36,083 --> 00:26:38,819
I find you often get that,
with the highly-sexed sorts.
369
00:26:38,843 --> 00:26:40,299
Dynamite under the duvet,
370
00:26:40,323 --> 00:26:43,059
but an absolute liability in
any kind of decent company.
371
00:26:43,083 --> 00:26:44,099
In what way?
372
00:26:44,123 --> 00:26:46,579
She'd let her mouth run
away with her in drink.
373
00:26:46,603 --> 00:26:50,099
Ronnie'd tell her to tone it down,
next thing it's a screaming match.
374
00:26:50,123 --> 00:26:51,779
Nobody wants that.
375
00:26:51,803 --> 00:26:53,299
Did he ever hit her?
376
00:26:53,323 --> 00:26:55,819
Never saw him give
her a proper dig.
377
00:26:55,843 --> 00:26:58,459
Would he have been capable
of killing her, do you think?
378
00:26:58,483 --> 00:27:01,379
We're probably all
"capable", aren't we?
379
00:27:01,403 --> 00:27:03,539
But it's sort of
academic now, isn't it?
380
00:27:03,563 --> 00:27:05,243
And how's that?
381
00:27:06,723 --> 00:27:09,619
Well, when Jo realised that Ronnie
didn't have the Midas touch,
382
00:27:09,643 --> 00:27:11,539
she left him. Went
off to the States.
383
00:27:11,563 --> 00:27:15,779
Human remains found in a storm drain
in the centre of Brighton on Friday
384
00:27:15,803 --> 00:27:19,019
have been identified
as Joanna Welbeck.
385
00:27:19,043 --> 00:27:20,699
She'd been there a long time.
386
00:27:20,723 --> 00:27:22,659
I'm shocked.
387
00:27:22,683 --> 00:27:25,979
And you think Ronnie did it?
It's an avenue of enquiry.
388
00:27:26,003 --> 00:27:27,979
What about his second wife?
389
00:27:28,003 --> 00:27:29,939
Lorraine? Hmm.
390
00:27:29,963 --> 00:27:32,179
Now, she could have the top
off the milk any morning.
391
00:27:32,203 --> 00:27:35,659
Fantastic tits. Sold
timeshares abroad.
392
00:27:35,683 --> 00:27:40,019
But Ron and I had kind of dropped
out of each other's orbit by then.
393
00:27:40,043 --> 00:27:41,379
What do you mean?
394
00:27:41,403 --> 00:27:44,739
Well, people come and
they go, don't they?
395
00:27:44,763 --> 00:27:46,939
Were you in touch with Ronnie
when his plane went down?
396
00:27:46,963 --> 00:27:49,659
No. I sent a wreath with
my sincere condolences,
397
00:27:49,683 --> 00:27:52,139
but when Ronnie died, I hadn't
seen him for a couple of years.
398
00:27:52,163 --> 00:27:55,139
What about the rumour that it
might not have been accidental?
399
00:27:55,163 --> 00:27:57,579
That there might have
been a bomb on board?
400
00:27:57,603 --> 00:27:59,819
Well, in general, I
try not to increase
401
00:27:59,843 --> 00:28:03,619
the sum total of nonsense in the
world by repeating baseless rumour.
402
00:28:03,643 --> 00:28:07,979
What was he doing in
Jersey? I've really no idea.
403
00:28:08,003 --> 00:28:09,723
Where can we find Lorraine?
404
00:28:10,843 --> 00:28:12,219
Well, you won't.
405
00:28:12,243 --> 00:28:14,659
Unless you've got a boat
and a deep sea diving suit.
406
00:28:14,683 --> 00:28:16,019
She topped herself.
407
00:28:16,043 --> 00:28:18,179
Stepped off the Newhaven
to Dieppe ferry one night.
408
00:28:18,203 --> 00:28:19,899
About a year after Ron died.
409
00:28:19,923 --> 00:28:22,979
Summer 2016? Round then.
410
00:28:23,003 --> 00:28:26,179
Besides yourself, who were
Ronnie's closest mates?
411
00:28:26,203 --> 00:28:29,739
He was pretty tight with
a guy called Chad Skebbs.
412
00:28:29,763 --> 00:28:32,139
But he emigrated to Spain.
413
00:28:32,163 --> 00:28:35,659
Anyway, as I said, I only
had ten minutes, so...
414
00:28:35,683 --> 00:28:38,243
Sorry.
415
00:28:44,403 --> 00:28:48,563
Now, why would you want to courier
old newspapers in a Jiffy bag?
416
00:28:50,723 --> 00:28:52,979
Unless it was to make
somebody keeping an eye on you
417
00:28:53,003 --> 00:28:56,139
think you'd sent
something else altogether.
418
00:28:56,163 --> 00:28:58,099
Enjoy your weekend?
419
00:28:58,123 --> 00:29:01,339
I thought with you safely boxed up,
I'd be able to get into the flat
420
00:29:01,363 --> 00:29:02,819
and give it a proper going over.
421
00:29:02,843 --> 00:29:04,299
But you've got it locked down
422
00:29:04,323 --> 00:29:07,563
tighter than a camel's
arse in a sandstorm.
423
00:29:08,923 --> 00:29:10,739
Still
424
00:29:10,763 --> 00:29:13,123
gave you a little fright, eh?
425
00:29:17,803 --> 00:29:20,723
Where are they, Abb. Hmm?
426
00:29:21,883 --> 00:29:22,963
Nope.
427
00:29:24,003 --> 00:29:25,643
No.
428
00:29:26,963 --> 00:29:28,419
No.
429
00:29:28,443 --> 00:29:31,923
I'm gonna ask you some questions
and you're gonna answer. Yes?
430
00:29:33,843 --> 00:29:34,883
Yes?
431
00:29:38,163 --> 00:29:39,723
So, are they here?
432
00:29:41,843 --> 00:29:45,043
OK, are they in Brighton?
433
00:29:52,843 --> 00:29:57,323
In a safe-deposit box maybe?
434
00:29:58,523 --> 00:30:00,043
Look what I found.
435
00:30:05,083 --> 00:30:07,259
I wonder if I might have
a word about Roy Grace?
436
00:30:07,283 --> 00:30:09,139
Hmm.
437
00:30:09,163 --> 00:30:10,883
Off the record.
438
00:30:16,843 --> 00:30:21,259
You know, in the last seven
years, the only officer to review
439
00:30:21,283 --> 00:30:25,283
the investigation into his
missing wife is Roy himself.
440
00:30:26,723 --> 00:30:28,979
Now, this is no criticism of
East Sussex and, of course,
441
00:30:29,003 --> 00:30:31,459
it pre-dates your
appointment but
442
00:30:31,483 --> 00:30:33,979
that would never have
happened in the Met.
443
00:30:34,003 --> 00:30:35,883
What are you saying?
444
00:30:37,803 --> 00:30:43,219
Well, erm, her parents feel that
nobody at East Sussex Police
445
00:30:43,243 --> 00:30:45,939
carried out an
impartial investigation.
446
00:30:45,963 --> 00:30:47,459
And what do you think?
447
00:30:47,483 --> 00:30:50,499
Well, I just want to make sure
we've done everything possible
448
00:30:50,523 --> 00:30:52,083
to put their minds at rest.
449
00:30:53,643 --> 00:30:54,803
Hmm.
450
00:30:55,843 --> 00:30:58,219
So one wife sets off to America,
451
00:30:58,243 --> 00:31:00,139
ends up in a storm
drain in Brighton.
452
00:31:00,163 --> 00:31:02,659
The second jumps off
a cross-Channel ferry.
453
00:31:02,683 --> 00:31:06,139
Oh, well, I guess some people
are just unlucky in love, eh?
454
00:31:06,163 --> 00:31:10,339
According to US authorities,
there's no record of Joanna Welbeck
455
00:31:10,363 --> 00:31:13,699
ever having entered the United
States on any documentation.
456
00:31:13,723 --> 00:31:15,139
No surprises there, then.
457
00:31:15,163 --> 00:31:17,299
So Ronnie kills her, dumps
her in the storm drain,
458
00:31:17,323 --> 00:31:19,899
and then tells everyone she left
him and ran off to Hollywood.
459
00:31:19,923 --> 00:31:22,499
Lorraine Welbeck, second wife,
460
00:31:22,523 --> 00:31:25,179
is still officially
recorded as a MISPER.
461
00:31:25,203 --> 00:31:29,043
We've a sister for a next of kin.
Maureen. Lives in New dig ate.
462
00:31:31,483 --> 00:31:33,339
So Ronnie's death must have come
463
00:31:33,363 --> 00:31:35,939
as a great shock to your
sister, Miss Finton.
464
00:31:35,963 --> 00:31:41,299
Lorraine was in a terrible
state. Depressed. Suicidal.
465
00:31:41,323 --> 00:31:43,939
Well, obviously.
466
00:31:43,963 --> 00:31:48,619
He left her in a right mess,
financially, with his debts.
467
00:31:48,643 --> 00:31:52,619
When did she meet Ronnie?
About eight years ago.
468
00:31:52,643 --> 00:31:54,859
He was looking for a place
in the South of France
469
00:31:54,883 --> 00:31:58,179
as an investment, and
that's where they met.
470
00:31:58,203 --> 00:32:00,459
She sold timeshare,
is that right?
471
00:32:00,483 --> 00:32:04,179
Well, it was more just
overseas property.
472
00:32:04,203 --> 00:32:08,139
Undeveloped plots of land people
could build on. That sort of thing.
473
00:32:08,163 --> 00:32:10,219
Spain. France.
474
00:32:10,243 --> 00:32:13,043
Jersey? A little bit, I think.
475
00:32:14,883 --> 00:32:17,819
And did they have anywhere
abroad, if Ronnie was looking?
476
00:32:17,843 --> 00:32:20,979
Not that I ever knew. What
was Ronnie doing in Jersey?
477
00:32:21,003 --> 00:32:22,939
That last trip, do you know?
478
00:32:22,963 --> 00:32:25,779
He had some business
there, Lorraine said.
479
00:32:25,803 --> 00:32:28,179
His stamps, maybe. Stamps?
480
00:32:28,203 --> 00:32:30,219
What was that, a hobby?
481
00:32:30,243 --> 00:32:32,803
More of a business, really.
482
00:32:34,203 --> 00:32:37,179
One night in the pub he showed
me this stamp out of his wallet
483
00:32:37,203 --> 00:32:40,379
he paid 50 grand for.
All wrapped in tissue.
484
00:32:40,403 --> 00:32:42,459
I said, "Don't put that
on a letter, will you?"
485
00:32:42,483 --> 00:32:46,003
Was he insured, do you
know? Oh, I expect so.
486
00:32:47,763 --> 00:32:50,859
Not that Lorraine saw any of it.
His creditors were all over her.
487
00:32:50,883 --> 00:32:56,203
When they cleaned her out, she just
sort of retreated into a shell.
488
00:32:57,803 --> 00:33:00,739
Ended up in a wee rented
flat down Montpelier Road.
489
00:33:00,763 --> 00:33:04,779
To be honest, I think that's
what put her over the edge.
490
00:33:04,803 --> 00:33:06,979
That come-down.
491
00:33:07,003 --> 00:33:10,299
And... losing Ronnie, of course.
492
00:33:10,323 --> 00:33:12,203
So eight years.
493
00:33:13,763 --> 00:33:16,323
Ronnie would still have been
married, when he met your sister.
494
00:33:19,603 --> 00:33:22,779
Lorraine said he wasn't
getting on with her.
495
00:33:22,803 --> 00:33:25,419
His first wife. Joanna, was it?
496
00:33:25,443 --> 00:33:28,379
He thought there might've
been another man.
497
00:33:28,403 --> 00:33:31,443
And then she just
walked out on him.
498
00:33:37,603 --> 00:33:39,579
We should talk to the
overseas property firm
499
00:33:39,603 --> 00:33:40,939
that Lorraine worked for.
500
00:33:40,963 --> 00:33:43,099
See if Ronnie Welbeck ever
did find his investment.
501
00:33:43,123 --> 00:33:45,059
What, you reckon he's
got somewhere abroad?
502
00:33:45,083 --> 00:33:46,259
It's possible, isn't it?
503
00:33:46,283 --> 00:33:48,179
If he was trying to keep
his finances hidden.
504
00:33:48,203 --> 00:33:51,163
You know much about stamps?
First or second class?
505
00:33:52,563 --> 00:33:53,899
Look, I'll have a ring round.
506
00:33:53,923 --> 00:33:56,299
See if we can find any
dealers that remember him.
507
00:33:56,323 --> 00:33:58,659
We should check out the
life insurance as well.
508
00:33:58,683 --> 00:34:01,163
See how much debt
he left her with.
509
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:06,499
SHE GRUNTS
510
00:34:06,523 --> 00:34:07,979
DOOR OPENS
511
00:34:08,003 --> 00:34:09,459
SHE WHIMPERS
512
00:34:09,483 --> 00:34:12,123
I suppose you think
you're very smart.
513
00:34:14,083 --> 00:34:16,259
Lock it all away in
a safe-deposit box
514
00:34:16,283 --> 00:34:18,963
that requires iris
recognition to open it.
515
00:34:20,363 --> 00:34:24,019
How about I cut your eye
out and take that with me,
516
00:34:24,043 --> 00:34:25,859
see if it recognises that?
517
00:34:25,883 --> 00:34:28,979
If not, I'll come back
for the other one.
518
00:34:29,003 --> 00:34:31,299
Of course, if that doesn't
work, then we're both stuffed.
519
00:34:31,323 --> 00:34:33,099
You'll be blind, and
I'll be no better off.
520
00:34:33,123 --> 00:34:36,283
But you know that,
don't you? So...
521
00:34:42,003 --> 00:34:43,603
What would get you to play ball?
522
00:34:45,403 --> 00:34:47,699
ABBY ON RECORDING: 'That
Clerwell House I told you about.
523
00:34:47,723 --> 00:34:50,819
'It's got a beautiful room with
a view of the river coming free.
524
00:34:50,843 --> 00:34:52,059
'I've reserved it.'
525
00:34:52,083 --> 00:34:54,339
ABBY'S MUM: 'Where are you
gonna get the money for that?'
526
00:34:54,363 --> 00:34:56,699
'Don't worry about that,
I'm taking care of it.'
527
00:34:56,723 --> 00:34:58,939
"Don't worry about
the money, Mum."
528
00:34:58,963 --> 00:35:01,179
That's what I like
about you, Abb.
529
00:35:01,203 --> 00:35:03,163
You're all heart.
530
00:35:11,683 --> 00:35:13,603
Talk to me.

DOORBELL RINGS
532
00:35:26,283 --> 00:35:29,179
I'm sorry. It was a bad weekend.
533
00:35:29,203 --> 00:35:32,579
There were similarities
between the skeleton and...
534
00:35:32,603 --> 00:35:34,219
Sandy.
535
00:35:34,243 --> 00:35:36,619
The dental work. And the
age. And the hair colouring.
536
00:35:36,643 --> 00:35:38,843
And then Nadiuska found
the blue carpet fibres...
537
00:35:40,203 --> 00:35:43,323
The bedroom rug is...
Yeah, I know. I've seen it.
538
00:35:45,563 --> 00:35:48,619
Come in? I don't really want a
back and forth on the doorstep
539
00:35:48,643 --> 00:35:50,003
like we're in a Richard Curtis.
540
00:35:54,803 --> 00:35:58,323
I can't imagine what it's like to
lose someone the way you lost Sandy.
541
00:36:00,083 --> 00:36:04,179
But then... you can't imagine
what it's like being with someone
542
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:07,059
who has lost someone
the way you lost Sandy.
543
00:36:07,083 --> 00:36:09,419
If that's still a
thing for you, then...
544
00:36:09,443 --> 00:36:11,203
It isn't.
545
00:36:12,643 --> 00:36:14,419
She's gone.
546
00:36:14,443 --> 00:36:16,139
And she's not coming back.
547
00:36:16,163 --> 00:36:17,683
But if she did?
548
00:36:19,363 --> 00:36:21,163
She's not going to.
549
00:36:22,403 --> 00:36:24,523
There were only ever
two possibilities.
550
00:36:25,763 --> 00:36:27,579
She can't come back,
551
00:36:27,603 --> 00:36:29,379
or she won't come back.
552
00:36:29,403 --> 00:36:33,859
And if it's the former,
then me or somebody like me
553
00:36:33,883 --> 00:36:36,099
will get to the bottom of it.
554
00:36:36,123 --> 00:36:39,219
But I accepted a long time ago
555
00:36:39,243 --> 00:36:42,379
that I might never
find out what happened.
556
00:36:42,403 --> 00:36:44,963
And if she won't come back?
557
00:36:46,483 --> 00:36:49,019
Then I'll know that
it's me she left
558
00:36:49,043 --> 00:36:51,139
and that no harm's come to her.
559
00:36:51,163 --> 00:36:55,723
And I hope more than anything...
that that's the case.
560
00:36:57,603 --> 00:37:00,539
And that thing that
you said to Glenn,
561
00:37:00,563 --> 00:37:02,939
about always thinking
the next call-out
562
00:37:02,963 --> 00:37:05,003
will be the one
that finds her...
563
00:37:06,523 --> 00:37:08,619
There's not really anything
I can do about that.
564
00:37:08,643 --> 00:37:10,923
Why didn't you say something?
565
00:37:13,643 --> 00:37:15,243
Because I didn't want
566
00:37:18,003 --> 00:37:20,283
something that
happened in my life
567
00:37:22,403 --> 00:37:23,723
to change
568
00:37:25,843 --> 00:37:27,763
how we are with each other.
569
00:37:29,763 --> 00:37:34,123
To let it define
whatever comes next.
570
00:37:38,043 --> 00:37:39,563
Then you have to be honest.
571
00:37:41,723 --> 00:37:47,683
Nothing that means anything
can ever grow out of secrets.
572
00:38:22,523 --> 00:38:26,923
Try anything clever and
your mum's dead. Got it?
573
00:38:29,163 --> 00:38:31,043
Maybe a little smile.

'Of course. Come in.'
578

Far end, on the right.
579
00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:36,059
Come on, what you
doing? I feel sick.
580
00:39:36,083 --> 00:39:37,899
I haven't eaten
anything in 24 hours.
581
00:39:37,923 --> 00:39:40,163
I just need to catch my breath.
582
00:40:07,883 --> 00:40:09,859
Wait...
583
00:40:09,883 --> 00:40:11,403

586
00:40:33,923 --> 00:40:36,323
Better make the most of it.
587
00:40:47,323 --> 00:40:51,019
We are now able to put a
name to the human remains
588
00:40:51,043 --> 00:40:55,339
discovered in the New Laines Quarter
of the city on Friday evening.
589
00:40:55,363 --> 00:40:58,499
They are those of
Joanna Welbeck.
590
00:40:58,523 --> 00:41:00,259
At the time of
her disappearance,
591
00:41:00,283 --> 00:41:04,539
Joanna was married
to a Ronnie Welbeck,
592
00:41:04,563 --> 00:41:07,819
who died some seven years
ago in a plane crash.
593
00:41:07,843 --> 00:41:10,299
Is he your prime
suspect in this?
594
00:41:10,323 --> 00:41:12,299
My team are pursuing a number
595
00:41:12,323 --> 00:41:14,779
of promising lines of enquiry,
596
00:41:14,803 --> 00:41:20,059
although, I would urge anyone who
knew Joanna to please come forward.
597
00:41:20,083 --> 00:41:21,979
Thank you.
598
00:41:22,003 --> 00:41:25,323
Detective Superintendent,
can I have a quick word?
599
00:41:27,083 --> 00:41:29,979
Of course, Mr Spinella. Er,
it's nothing to do with this.
600
00:41:30,003 --> 00:41:32,419
Just something that I
thought I ought to mention.
601
00:41:32,443 --> 00:41:36,619
I got a call from a contact
with the fire brigade, Monday.
602
00:41:36,643 --> 00:41:39,019
They had a shout to Embassy
Court in town for a young woman
603
00:41:39,043 --> 00:41:41,219
stuck in a lift. Slow news week?
604
00:41:41,243 --> 00:41:42,899
Er, she'd been there
since Friday night.
605
00:41:42,923 --> 00:41:45,739
Thing is, I felt
something wasn't right.
606
00:41:45,763 --> 00:41:48,619
Her building supervisor
reckoned that vandals must have
607
00:41:48,643 --> 00:41:51,539
broken in to the lift motor room and
tampered with the brake mechanism
608
00:41:51,563 --> 00:41:53,979
and the electrics. He found a
couple of syringes in there.
609
00:41:54,003 --> 00:41:55,899
She was unlucky. Sure.
610
00:41:55,923 --> 00:41:58,299
But what he wasn't able to
explain was why the alarm system,
611
00:41:58,323 --> 00:42:01,419
which should have rung through
to his flat, failed to do so.
612
00:42:01,443 --> 00:42:05,299
Or why her front door was fitted
with more locks than Fort Knox.
613
00:42:05,323 --> 00:42:08,339
If I didn't know better, I'd say
she was frightened of something.
614
00:42:08,363 --> 00:42:09,803
Or someone.
615
00:42:39,763 --> 00:42:45,339
Katherine Jennings, Flat 120,
Embassy Court, Kings Road, Brighton.
616
00:42:45,363 --> 00:42:46,619
I know we're up to our ears,
617
00:42:46,643 --> 00:42:48,539
but maybe swing by,
see if everything's OK.
618
00:42:48,563 --> 00:42:50,019
Just to be on the safe side.
619
00:42:50,043 --> 00:42:51,619
I know Spinella's
a pain in the arse,
620
00:42:51,643 --> 00:42:53,739
but even a stopped
clock and all that.
621
00:42:53,763 --> 00:42:56,339
Could be a domestic
issue? Abusive boyfriend.
622
00:42:56,363 --> 00:42:58,939
Yeah, well, if she's in
trouble, I don't wanna miss it.
623
00:42:58,963 --> 00:43:02,339
Hi. I've got a step-brother
for Joanna Welbeck.
624
00:43:02,363 --> 00:43:04,979
Goes under the stage
name of Mitzi Dufors.
625
00:43:05,003 --> 00:43:07,899
Member of Brighton and
Hove's thriving and vibrant.
626
00:43:07,923 --> 00:43:10,219
LGBTQ community.
627
00:43:10,243 --> 00:43:12,139
OK.
628
00:43:12,163 --> 00:43:13,763
We've got cocktails
for two this afty.
629
00:43:15,923 --> 00:43:18,379
I spoke to the property company
Lorraine Welbeck worked for.
630
00:43:18,403 --> 00:43:21,299
There was a plot of land that Ronnie
was interested in at the time,
631
00:43:21,323 --> 00:43:23,019
not too far from Biarritz.
632
00:43:23,043 --> 00:43:24,579
Did he go through with it?
633
00:43:24,603 --> 00:43:27,659
Er no, no, he didn't, but it
was acquired shortly thereafter
634
00:43:27,683 --> 00:43:31,019
on behalf of an unknown
client from a firm called.
635
00:43:31,043 --> 00:43:32,979
Cape Trafalgar Holdings.
636
00:43:33,003 --> 00:43:35,099
The name stuck with the
French office, apparently.
637
00:43:35,123 --> 00:43:37,579
I can see why it might. And?
638
00:43:37,603 --> 00:43:39,379
Well, I've asked the
locals to take a look,
639
00:43:39,403 --> 00:43:41,659
but from the paperwork
I managed to track down,
640
00:43:41,683 --> 00:43:44,579
Cape Trafalgar Holdings
was a sole trader outfit.
641
00:43:44,603 --> 00:43:47,699
Its, er, owner was a
David Irvin Nelson.
642
00:43:47,723 --> 00:43:50,179
Registered office is
a PO Box in St Helier.
643
00:43:50,203 --> 00:43:52,179
Any connection with
that and what, er,
644
00:43:52,203 --> 00:43:54,059
Ronnie Welbeck was
up to in Jersey?
645
00:43:54,083 --> 00:43:56,979
A friend in the NCA says
Ronnie Welbeck was running gear
646
00:43:57,003 --> 00:43:59,419
in and out of the island
on behalf of Sean Klinger.
647
00:43:59,443 --> 00:44:01,619
There's talk Welbeck was
skimming more off the top
648
00:44:01,643 --> 00:44:04,339
than Klinger might have been
prepared to put up with.
649
00:44:04,363 --> 00:44:07,939
So what are we saying, Klinger
brought the plane down?
650
00:44:07,963 --> 00:44:10,603
Well, it's certainly
the suspicion.

00:44:55,443 --> 00:44:58,179
Very nice, your Dusty. Thanks.
658
00:44:58,203 --> 00:44:59,739
Do you do any others?
659
00:44:59,763 --> 00:45:02,859
When the wind's in the right
direction, I do a mean Ann-Margret,
660
00:45:02,883 --> 00:45:05,059
not that there's much
call for her these days.
661
00:45:05,083 --> 00:45:07,579
No, I meant any more
Dusty Springfield tracks?
662
00:45:07,603 --> 00:45:09,779
Oh. You're a fan. Who isn't?
663
00:45:09,803 --> 00:45:11,739
Ah, well, Preacher
Man, of course. Aye.
664
00:45:11,763 --> 00:45:14,243
Dusty In Memphis is
an absolute classic.
665
00:45:17,283 --> 00:45:19,299
You didn't come here
to talk about Dusty.
666
00:45:19,323 --> 00:45:21,259
No. No.
667
00:45:21,283 --> 00:45:23,843
You mentioned something
about a photo of Joanna.
668
00:45:25,763 --> 00:45:26,939
I'll want it back.
669
00:45:26,963 --> 00:45:28,443
Yeah, course.
670
00:45:29,683 --> 00:45:32,739
When was this taken? Around
the last time I saw her.
671
00:45:32,763 --> 00:45:34,539
London Olympics, maybe?
672
00:45:34,563 --> 00:45:36,859
More recent than
anything we've got, so...
673
00:45:36,883 --> 00:45:39,379
Um, you're her
step-brother, then, is it?
674
00:45:39,403 --> 00:45:40,859
Half-brother.
675
00:45:40,883 --> 00:45:43,859
Our father left my mum to
take up with Joanna's mother.
676
00:45:43,883 --> 00:45:46,699
And the old man died when she
was ten, so I kept an eye.
677
00:45:46,723 --> 00:45:49,459
Got the odd phone call,
maybe at Christmas,
678
00:45:49,483 --> 00:45:52,059
but she had her
life and I had mine.
679
00:45:52,083 --> 00:45:54,299
Next thing I heard is she was
getting married to Ronnie.
680
00:45:54,323 --> 00:45:56,859
Did you ever meet
him? Once or twice.
681
00:45:56,883 --> 00:45:59,219
It was money this, money that.
682
00:45:59,243 --> 00:46:02,459
I just thought he was
dodgy. Well, they all were.
683
00:46:02,483 --> 00:46:04,699
Who's all? His mates.
684
00:46:04,723 --> 00:46:07,139
Villains. But she
was happy enough.
685
00:46:07,163 --> 00:46:09,859
To begin with, at least.
686
00:46:09,883 --> 00:46:11,539
And then what, it all went off?
687
00:46:11,563 --> 00:46:13,339
I think she was after
an out for a while.
688
00:46:13,363 --> 00:46:15,779
And there was this
fella sniffing around.
689
00:46:15,803 --> 00:46:18,379
What fella? Pal of Ronnie's.
690
00:46:18,403 --> 00:46:22,323
I can't remember his name.
Chas, was it? Chet, maybe?
691
00:46:23,443 --> 00:46:25,259
Right, was she having an affair?
692
00:46:25,283 --> 00:46:27,059
I did wonder if it was
him she'd gone off with.
693
00:46:27,083 --> 00:46:28,299
You see, when her mother died,
694
00:46:28,323 --> 00:46:30,099
she left her this little
place in Brent wood.
695
00:46:30,123 --> 00:46:33,339
When was that? About six
months before she went.
696
00:46:33,363 --> 00:46:37,339
I heard on the grapevine via
Ronnie that she'd gone to LA.
697
00:46:37,363 --> 00:46:39,819
So I thought she must've
used the money from the house
698
00:46:39,843 --> 00:46:41,659
to fund going to America.
699
00:46:41,683 --> 00:46:44,179
And you didn't hear anything
from her after that?
700
00:46:44,203 --> 00:46:47,843
I didn't really expect to. Not if
she'd gone off with a new fella.
701
00:46:50,443 --> 00:46:52,939
Yeah, yeah, that's right. So
it's mixed roses. Red and white.
702
00:46:52,963 --> 00:46:55,963
And that's delivered to Ari Branson
in the Radiology Department.
703
00:46:57,323 --> 00:46:59,099
Yeah. No, this
afternoon's great. Cheers.
704
00:46:59,123 --> 00:47:01,403
Thanks a bunch. Thank
you. Bye-bye. Bye.
705
00:47:03,203 --> 00:47:04,939
HE SIGHS
706
00:47:04,963 --> 00:47:06,739
Bit early to be making
amends, isn't it?
707
00:47:06,763 --> 00:47:10,019
Haven't you just come back
from a romantic weekend away?
708
00:47:10,043 --> 00:47:12,403
Don't tell me you've blotted
your copybook already.
709
00:47:14,243 --> 00:47:16,283
You know I said it went fine?
710
00:47:18,603 --> 00:47:21,339
It didn't go fine, did it? Nope.
711
00:47:21,363 --> 00:47:23,019
No, it did not go fine.
712
00:47:23,043 --> 00:47:26,203
I mean, you tell me, what is
so wrong with a tandem skydive?
713
00:47:27,643 --> 00:47:31,739
OK, how about, A, you're
scared of heights,
714
00:47:31,763 --> 00:47:34,139
and B, you hate flying.
715
00:47:34,163 --> 00:47:36,219
Apart from that, no,
yeah, it's perfect.
716
00:47:36,243 --> 00:47:38,139
That's the thing. I'm not.
717
00:47:38,163 --> 00:47:41,299
I'm not scared of
heights. Not any more.
718
00:47:41,323 --> 00:47:44,659
Since when? I don't
know. But it's just...
719
00:47:44,683 --> 00:47:45,939
It's just gone.
720
00:47:45,963 --> 00:47:49,259
I don't know how to
describe it. I mean...
721
00:47:49,283 --> 00:47:51,419
What's that thing
that people say?
722
00:47:51,443 --> 00:47:53,323
"Feel the fear
and do it anyway."
723
00:47:54,683 --> 00:47:57,779
I mean, once, even just being
up high, my legs would just go,
724
00:47:57,803 --> 00:47:59,379
right, just turn to jelly.
725
00:47:59,403 --> 00:48:02,283
Now? Well, now it's like...
726
00:48:03,523 --> 00:48:05,443
It's like I'm, I'm over it.
727
00:48:07,803 --> 00:48:10,539
And that's, that's gotta be
a good thing, though, right?
728
00:48:10,563 --> 00:48:11,683
Maybe.
729
00:48:13,123 --> 00:48:16,579
Although, sometimes fear is the
only thing that keeps us alive.
730
00:48:16,603 --> 00:48:20,139
In this job anyway. Fools
rush in and all that.
731
00:48:20,163 --> 00:48:23,523
Maybe try and lay off the needless
heroics for the time being.
732
00:48:29,403 --> 00:48:31,323
Speaking of fools
733
00:48:33,043 --> 00:48:36,443
has Cassian Pewe
redecorated your office yet?
734
00:48:37,483 --> 00:48:40,043
All right, go on. What is
it? What is it with you two?
735
00:48:42,683 --> 00:48:47,459
One time, the Met sent down
reinforcements to help us out
736
00:48:47,483 --> 00:48:49,299
with the Labour Party
conference in town.
737
00:48:49,323 --> 00:48:52,419
Pewe was a DI.
738
00:48:52,443 --> 00:48:55,539
He ended up nicking a
couple of informants
739
00:48:55,563 --> 00:48:59,019
that I'd been cultivating
for several years.
740
00:48:59,043 --> 00:49:01,339
He refused to drop charges.
741
00:49:01,363 --> 00:49:04,139
So I took it to Vosper,
742
00:49:04,163 --> 00:49:07,483
and she sided with the blue-eyed
boy down from the Smoke.
743
00:49:09,323 --> 00:49:11,859
Never rub another man's rhubarb.
744
00:49:11,883 --> 00:49:13,403
PHONE VIBRATES
745
00:49:15,763 --> 00:49:16,859
Bella?
746
00:49:16,883 --> 00:49:19,339
The lift mechanism's
been tampered with.
747
00:49:19,363 --> 00:49:21,579
Sabotaged, according
to the engineer.
748
00:49:21,603 --> 00:49:24,179
Someone interfered with
the brake mechanism
749
00:49:24,203 --> 00:49:25,459
when the lift was in operation.
750
00:49:25,483 --> 00:49:27,219
And the alarm and
phone cables were cut.
751
00:49:27,243 --> 00:49:30,139
And what did Miss Jennings
say? 'Nothing yet.'
752
00:49:30,163 --> 00:49:33,299
She's a new tenant,
apparently. Short let.
753
00:49:33,323 --> 00:49:35,739
Lives on her own and
only goes out after dark.
754
00:49:35,763 --> 00:49:37,259
Where is she now?
755
00:49:37,283 --> 00:49:39,739
Last seen earlier today leaving
the building with a man.
756
00:49:39,763 --> 00:49:41,483
Caretaker says she's single.
757
00:50:15,403 --> 00:50:18,099
Nick about? No.
758
00:50:18,123 --> 00:50:20,379
I did see him talking to
old Cassian Pewe at his desk
759
00:50:20,403 --> 00:50:22,419
just before lunch.
760
00:50:22,443 --> 00:50:24,899
What did he want? Your
guess is as good as mine.
761
00:50:24,923 --> 00:50:27,339
Did you want him for
anything in particular?
762
00:50:27,363 --> 00:50:30,099
Yeah, I asked him to run a PNC on
that known associate of Welbeck's
763
00:50:30,123 --> 00:50:32,339
that Klinger
mentioned. Chad Skebbs.
764
00:50:32,363 --> 00:50:34,299
He asked me to do it. Full
name - Richard Skebbs.
765
00:50:34,323 --> 00:50:35,819
Turns out he's
wanted in connection
766
00:50:35,843 --> 00:50:39,379
with an allegation of
indecent assault, from 2014.
767
00:50:39,403 --> 00:50:42,459
Didn't Klinger say that
Skebbs went abroad?
768
00:50:42,483 --> 00:50:43,699
Spain, wasn't it? 'DS Moy.'
769
00:50:43,723 --> 00:50:46,899
I think you'll find the
correct term is "fled".
770
00:50:46,923 --> 00:50:48,379
Roy.
771
00:50:48,403 --> 00:50:50,539
Spinella. Line three.
772
00:50:50,563 --> 00:50:52,323
Says it's important.
773
00:50:57,243 --> 00:51:00,179
Mr Spinella. We're looking
into Miss Jennings.
774
00:51:00,203 --> 00:51:01,539
Thank you for the tip-off,
775
00:51:01,563 --> 00:51:03,579
we've got nothing official
to say at this time.
776
00:51:03,603 --> 00:51:06,299
Er, actually, it was
you I was calling about.
777
00:51:06,323 --> 00:51:09,499
I wondered if you had any comment
about what's going on at your house?
778
00:51:09,523 --> 00:51:11,459
My house?
779
00:51:11,483 --> 00:51:13,259
Well, if you don't
know anything about it,
780
00:51:13,283 --> 00:51:15,339
maybe you should get over here.
781
00:51:15,363 --> 00:51:17,083
I'll be outside.
782
00:51:20,563 --> 00:51:22,403
You all right?
783
00:51:41,083 --> 00:51:42,963
I'll be with you in a minute.
784
00:51:55,203 --> 00:51:57,019
What the fu...
785
00:51:57,043 --> 00:51:58,523
Nick...
786
00:52:00,523 --> 00:52:03,059
What the hell is this? GPR.
787
00:52:03,083 --> 00:52:07,539
Ground penetrating radar. I...
I assumed you had OKed this.
788
00:52:07,563 --> 00:52:08,643
OKed what?
789
00:52:10,323 --> 00:52:13,019
Nick? I've got a search warrant.
790
00:52:13,043 --> 00:52:15,099
Is this a joke?
791
00:52:15,123 --> 00:52:17,283
Who requested the warrant?
792
00:53:14,123 --> 00:53:16,379
How dare you?!
793
00:53:16,403 --> 00:53:18,219
What, this?
794
00:53:18,243 --> 00:53:20,419
CSI crawling all over my home.
795
00:53:20,443 --> 00:53:22,539
Taking soundings
in my back garden
796
00:53:22,563 --> 00:53:25,099
for the body you think
I have buried there.
797
00:53:25,123 --> 00:53:26,659
Call it off. Now.
798
00:53:26,683 --> 00:53:29,259
I'm sorry. But having spoken
to Margot and Derek...
799
00:53:29,283 --> 00:53:31,299
You spoke to Sandy's parents?
800
00:53:31,323 --> 00:53:34,339
Allie Vosper asked me to
take over your backlog.
801
00:53:34,363 --> 00:53:37,699
And Sandy's was the first
case you turned up, was it?
802
00:53:37,723 --> 00:53:41,019
She remains a cold case,
Roy. You're telling me that?
803
00:53:41,043 --> 00:53:44,059
There isn't a stone
I have left unturned.
804
00:53:44,083 --> 00:53:45,483
SCOFFS
805
00:53:46,523 --> 00:53:50,899
Psychics? Cranks and mind readers?
End-of-the-pier fortune-tellers?
806
00:53:50,923 --> 00:53:52,499
If you'd lost
somebody you'd loved,
807
00:53:52,523 --> 00:53:56,339
you would know that there is nothing
you wouldn't do to get them back!
808
00:53:56,363 --> 00:53:59,403
No matter how unlikely. How
do you know what I'd do?
809
00:54:00,883 --> 00:54:04,339
But I'll tell you this, I wouldn't
turn it into a three-ring circus.
810
00:54:04,363 --> 00:54:09,299
I was cleared of any involvement in
Sandy's disappearance. Exonerated.
811
00:54:09,323 --> 00:54:12,019
Not to the standard that we
would've applied in the Met.
812
00:54:12,043 --> 00:54:13,819
The Met? Really?
813
00:54:13,843 --> 00:54:17,923
Well, as we all know, they're
infallible, aren't they?
814
00:54:37,083 --> 00:54:39,979
Ronnie Welbeck's life insurers
finally got back to me.
815
00:54:40,003 --> 00:54:42,899
The pay-out was
three million pounds.
816
00:54:42,923 --> 00:54:46,099
Three months before she
stepped off that ferry,
817
00:54:46,123 --> 00:54:49,139
Lorraine withdrew the
entire amount in cash.
818
00:54:49,163 --> 00:54:51,899
She died in poverty, with nearly
three million in the bank?
819
00:54:51,923 --> 00:54:53,779
Except the money
wasn't in the bank.
820
00:54:53,803 --> 00:54:55,899
Ronnie and Lorraine
Welbeck's joint account
821
00:54:55,923 --> 00:54:57,859
shows an ever-increasing
overdraft,
822
00:54:57,883 --> 00:55:00,179
with just occasional
small amounts coming in.
823
00:55:00,203 --> 00:55:02,219
Yeah, we knew they
had money issues.
824
00:55:02,243 --> 00:55:04,099
Yeah, right up until
the day he died.
825
00:55:04,123 --> 00:55:06,859
But an account was opened in
Lorraine Welbeck's sole name
826
00:55:06,883 --> 00:55:08,539
nine months after
Ronnie was killed.
827
00:55:08,563 --> 00:55:10,739
For the life
insurance, presumably?
828
00:55:10,763 --> 00:55:14,219
Yeah, but I don't understand
how it was paid out that fast.
829
00:55:14,243 --> 00:55:17,339
Well, the insurance company assigned
to the case weren't entirely happy,
830
00:55:17,363 --> 00:55:20,699
but the Drugs Squad investigation
suggested there was another dealer,
831
00:55:20,723 --> 00:55:22,139
possibly French,
832
00:55:22,163 --> 00:55:24,739
who wanted to give Klinger a
message to keep off his turf.
833
00:55:24,763 --> 00:55:26,579
They blew the plane up?
834
00:55:26,603 --> 00:55:29,019
Using Ronnie as collateral.
835
00:55:29,043 --> 00:55:30,979
Well
836
00:55:31,003 --> 00:55:34,699
that to one side for the minute,
is there some sort of pattern here?
837
00:55:34,723 --> 00:55:38,299
Look, Ronnie Welbeck's
first wife inherits money,
838
00:55:38,323 --> 00:55:41,819
disappears to the States and
ends up in a storm drain.
839
00:55:41,843 --> 00:55:43,859
Then his second
wife inherits money
840
00:55:43,883 --> 00:55:45,459
and ends up at the
bottom of the Channel.
841
00:55:45,483 --> 00:55:50,059
So what're you saying, she didn't
commit suicide? Somebody killed her?
842
00:55:50,083 --> 00:55:51,819
I'm just what-iffing.
843
00:55:51,843 --> 00:55:53,899
PHONE BUZZES Couldn't've
been Ronnie, then,
844
00:55:53,923 --> 00:55:55,899
because he died in that
plane crash or bombing
845
00:55:55,923 --> 00:55:58,299
or whatever it was a year
before Lorraine died.
846
00:55:58,323 --> 00:56:01,019
Yeah, but what about
his mate, Skebbs?
847
00:56:01,043 --> 00:56:04,179
Mitzi Dufors said one of Ronnie's
mates was sniffing around Joanna.
848
00:56:04,203 --> 00:56:08,219
Couldn't remember the name, but it
was something like Chas or Chet.
849
00:56:08,243 --> 00:56:10,979
Hmm. Not too much of a
stretch to Chad, is it?
850
00:56:11,003 --> 00:56:14,819
Well, I've been doing some digging
around Richard "Chad" Skebbs.
851
00:56:14,843 --> 00:56:17,579
And it seems that it wasn't
in the public interest
852
00:56:17,603 --> 00:56:19,419
to follow him to Europe.
853
00:56:19,443 --> 00:56:21,339
He thought they'd
fled to Albania,
854
00:56:21,363 --> 00:56:24,619
but he's last been seen in
Spain and southern France.
855
00:56:24,643 --> 00:56:25,939
Keep digging.
856
00:56:25,963 --> 00:56:29,499
I've got a lead on a guy
called Hector Hegarty.
857
00:56:29,523 --> 00:56:32,643
He's a stamp dealer, remembers
doing business with Ronnie Welbeck.
858
00:56:50,683 --> 00:56:53,579

Don't get up. Don't get
up. What're you doing here?
862
00:57:02,763 --> 00:57:05,659
I thought you were still away.
I wanted to surprise you.
863
00:57:05,683 --> 00:57:08,443
Oh, Mum. I've
missed you so much.
864
00:57:09,683 --> 00:57:11,299
So much. Ohh!

PHONE RINGS
867
00:57:20,243 --> 00:57:22,339
Detective Superintendent Pewe.
868
00:57:22,363 --> 00:57:24,779
'This is DS Franks
from Interpol.'
869
00:57:24,803 --> 00:57:26,699
How can we help you?
870
00:57:26,723 --> 00:57:29,619
'I believe you asked our
colleagues in France to look at
871
00:57:29,643 --> 00:57:32,603
'a development sight for
you. Is that correct?'
872
00:57:44,963 --> 00:57:47,939
Oh, yes, I did a fair bit of
business with Ronnie over the years.
873
00:57:47,963 --> 00:57:50,939
He wasn't the easiest person
to deal with. In what way?
874
00:57:50,963 --> 00:57:53,459
Well, you know.
To put it crudely,
875
00:57:53,483 --> 00:57:57,379
the provenance on some of his
stuff was doubtful, shall we say?
876
00:57:57,403 --> 00:57:59,099
What about his second wife?
877
00:57:59,123 --> 00:58:02,083
Did Lorraine Welbeck ever contact
you after her husband's death?
878
00:58:03,403 --> 00:58:07,299
I don't suppose it matters now.
But she had me swear to secrecy.
879
00:58:07,323 --> 00:58:09,059
Well, a murder inquiry trumps
880
00:58:09,083 --> 00:58:11,843
any word you might
have given, Mr Hegarty.
881
00:58:14,163 --> 00:58:17,219
She came to see me, spring 2016,
882
00:58:17,243 --> 00:58:18,979
wanted to invest
some money in stamps.
883
00:58:19,003 --> 00:58:22,219
Can you remember the sum
involved? Not offhand.
884
00:58:22,243 --> 00:58:24,939
But any big order draws
attention in the stamp world.
885
00:58:24,963 --> 00:58:27,179
She wanted it done
quietly and discreetly.
886
00:58:27,203 --> 00:58:30,139
So I fronted the purchases for
her. Spread the money around.
887
00:58:30,163 --> 00:58:32,819
Said I was buying for
an anonymous collector.
888
00:58:32,843 --> 00:58:34,219
Can you provide us with a list
889
00:58:34,243 --> 00:58:36,419
of all the stamps that
you sold to Mrs Welbeck?
890
00:58:36,443 --> 00:58:38,299
And the value.
891
00:58:38,323 --> 00:58:40,339
Give me a little time
to consult my records.
892
00:58:40,363 --> 00:58:42,979
Could you also give
us a list of anyone
893
00:58:43,003 --> 00:58:44,979
who might have been
able to afford them,
894
00:58:45,003 --> 00:58:47,379
if she'd wanted to sell them on?
895
00:58:47,403 --> 00:58:49,939
I can give you the dealers,
and a few individual collectors
896
00:58:49,963 --> 00:58:51,899
like myself. Course,
back then, round here,
897
00:58:51,923 --> 00:58:55,099
there was a chap Ronnie knew
well himself, but he went abroad.
898
00:58:55,123 --> 00:58:56,979
Who was that?
899
00:58:57,003 --> 00:58:59,819
Richard Skebbs.
Called himself Chad.
900
00:58:59,843 --> 00:59:01,619
Always dealt in big numbers.
901
00:59:01,643 --> 00:59:04,539
Still does, but all done
over the internet now.
902
00:59:04,563 --> 00:59:08,419
And did you ever buy from
him? Oh, once bitten...
903
00:59:08,443 --> 00:59:12,379
I bought some Spanish Civil War era
stamps from him. Did me right up.
904
00:59:12,403 --> 00:59:14,859
They weren't in anything like
the condition he had promised.
905
00:59:14,883 --> 00:59:17,059
When I complained, he
told me to sue him.
906
00:59:17,083 --> 00:59:20,163
Frankly, I'm amazed
he's still in business.
907
00:59:21,923 --> 00:59:25,019
What's going on, Ab? What is it?
908
00:59:25,043 --> 00:59:28,099
I may be getting forgetful,
but I'm not stupid.
909
00:59:28,123 --> 00:59:29,899
You're frightened.
910
00:59:29,923 --> 00:59:33,179
It's just someone who wants
me to go out with 'em.
911
00:59:33,203 --> 00:59:35,539
He's trying to get to me
through you. That's all.
912
00:59:35,563 --> 00:59:39,819
What's your fella doing about
it? Nothing, Mum. He's not here.
913
00:59:39,843 --> 00:59:42,459
Why isn't he? It's complicated.
914
00:59:42,483 --> 00:59:43,779
The taxman's after him.
915
00:59:43,803 --> 00:59:46,379
And if he comes into the
country, he could get picked up.
916
00:59:46,403 --> 00:59:48,499
Doesn't sound like
much of a boyfriend.
917
00:59:48,523 --> 00:59:51,203
A man ought to take care
of the woman he loves.
918
00:59:52,803 --> 00:59:54,699
Hi, I need some new
locks at my mum's flat.
919
00:59:54,723 --> 00:59:57,883
'Right.' And a safety
chain and a spyhole.
920
01:00:18,363 --> 01:00:21,739
Lorraine Welbeck's name is
on a Post-it on my desk.
921
01:00:21,763 --> 01:00:23,499
"DS Franks"?
922
01:00:23,523 --> 01:00:27,099
Ah, yes. This location you've
asked the French to take a look at.
923
01:00:27,123 --> 01:00:31,659
What's this? It's to do with the
body in the storm drain, Ma'am.
924
01:00:31,683 --> 01:00:34,379
Remains of an unidentified,
pregnant woman
925
01:00:34,403 --> 01:00:37,179
were found in the boot of a car
pulled from a lake on the property.
926
01:00:37,203 --> 01:00:38,859
It's been there for some years.
927
01:00:38,883 --> 01:00:41,659
They've obtained DNA
from her and the foetus,
928
01:00:41,683 --> 01:00:44,659
but they haven't been able to make
any matches on their database.
929
01:00:44,683 --> 01:00:47,339
Where does Lorraine
Welbeck fit in?
930
01:00:47,363 --> 01:00:50,259
Lorraine Welbeck is the second
wife of Ronnie Welbeck, Ma'am.
931
01:00:50,283 --> 01:00:53,019
She was working for
the estate agent
932
01:00:53,043 --> 01:00:55,019
that sold the plot
of land in France.
933
01:00:55,043 --> 01:00:58,699
Oh, it's rather
more than that, Roy.
934
01:00:58,723 --> 01:01:02,259
The corpse in the boot of the
car had silicone breast implants.
935
01:01:02,283 --> 01:01:04,699
Now, you may not know this,
936
01:01:04,723 --> 01:01:08,219
but they're all printed with
the manufacturer's batch number.
937
01:01:08,243 --> 01:01:09,819
This particular
pair was supplied
938
01:01:09,843 --> 01:01:12,779
to a cosmetic surgery hospital
in Woodingdean in 2015.
939
01:01:12,803 --> 01:01:14,899
So I called them.
940
01:01:14,923 --> 01:01:17,779
They matched the
implants with the name...
941
01:01:17,803 --> 01:01:19,579
Lorraine Welbeck.
942
01:01:19,603 --> 01:01:21,819
That's excellent.
943
01:01:21,843 --> 01:01:23,563
Don't you think so, Roy?
944
01:01:26,083 --> 01:01:29,499
What are we saying, Lorraine
Welbeck swam the Bay of Biscay
945
01:01:29,523 --> 01:01:32,099
with three million quid stuffed
between the Devil's dumplings?
946
01:01:32,123 --> 01:01:34,899
Doesn't seem very likely.
Probably not, Norman.
947
01:01:34,923 --> 01:01:37,779
But she was four
months pregnant.
948
01:01:37,803 --> 01:01:40,179
The French have no
paternal DNA match,
949
01:01:40,203 --> 01:01:44,139
but we're checking our database, we
should hear back later or tomorrow.
950
01:01:44,163 --> 01:01:47,019
Anything on cause?
Strangulation.
951
01:01:47,043 --> 01:01:49,259
Same as Joanna Welbeck.
952
01:01:49,283 --> 01:01:52,979
Did we get any further on the owners
of this plot of land in France?
953
01:01:53,003 --> 01:01:56,459
Cape Trafalgar Holdings and
this elusive David Nelson?
954
01:01:56,483 --> 01:01:57,859
No. Nothing.
955
01:01:57,883 --> 01:02:00,723
At least we know that Lorraine
Welbeck didn't commit suicide.
956
01:02:02,083 --> 01:02:05,299
Run a check on the passenger
manifest for the ferry
957
01:02:05,323 --> 01:02:08,019
on the night that she
supposedly jumped.
958
01:02:08,043 --> 01:02:09,619
What am I looking for?
959
01:02:09,643 --> 01:02:12,579
Anything out of the
ordinary. Chad Skebbs, maybe?
960
01:02:12,603 --> 01:02:15,699
Mitzi Dufors said he was
sniffing around Joanna Welbeck.
961
01:02:15,723 --> 01:02:18,859
And she came into money
shortly before she disappeared.
962
01:02:18,883 --> 01:02:21,963
So could he have been behind the
bomb on Ronnie Welbeck's plane?
963
01:02:23,203 --> 01:02:24,979
So he kills Ronnie Welbeck
964
01:02:25,003 --> 01:02:29,219
and he's waiting to catch Lorraine
Welbeck and Ronnie's life insurance.
965
01:02:29,243 --> 01:02:32,299
Yeah, possibly. So,
where's the money?
966
01:02:32,323 --> 01:02:35,099
There's not gonna be room for
three mil in the bazooka bag
967
01:02:35,123 --> 01:02:38,219
if it's already stuffed with
bought-and-paid-for silicone norks.
968
01:02:38,243 --> 01:02:41,499
Did he really just
say that out loud?
969
01:02:41,523 --> 01:02:43,779
I don't think it
was cash, Norman.
970
01:02:43,803 --> 01:02:48,059
'When Ronnie Welbeck's plane went
down, he died leaving massive debts.
971
01:02:48,083 --> 01:02:51,579
'Every penny he left to Lorraine
had been taken by his creditors,
972
01:02:51,603 --> 01:02:53,779
'and their house repossessed.
973
01:02:53,803 --> 01:02:55,779
'Before she got on that ferry,
974
01:02:55,803 --> 01:02:58,619
'Lorraine Welbeck converted
her husband's life insurance
975
01:02:58,643 --> 01:03:01,643
'into something much
easier to transport,
976
01:03:06,523 --> 01:03:08,483
'and far easier to conceal.'
977
01:03:23,163 --> 01:03:24,803
Oh, my God!
978
01:03:25,923 --> 01:03:27,723
Are you all right?
979
01:03:29,523 --> 01:03:31,579
A man who hates me
980
01:03:31,603 --> 01:03:34,459
is trying to convince the
people that I work with
981
01:03:34,483 --> 01:03:36,403
that I killed my wife. So...
982
01:03:38,403 --> 01:03:40,499
You said to be honest.
983
01:03:40,523 --> 01:03:43,003
Hmm. Is there anything I can do?
984
01:03:44,723 --> 01:03:47,123
Unless you're a dab hand
with carpet grippers...
985
01:03:49,523 --> 01:03:51,803
Do you want to talk about it?
986
01:03:53,323 --> 01:03:55,043
Do you?
987
01:03:57,403 --> 01:03:59,139
Maybe not tonight.
988
01:03:59,163 --> 01:04:02,419
Maybe tonight is exactly the
right time to talk about it.
989
01:04:02,443 --> 01:04:05,123
I'm not about to kick
a man when he's down.
990
01:04:09,483 --> 01:04:11,483
If I've got to be honest...
991
01:04:13,603 --> 01:04:15,083
SHE SIGHS
992
01:04:16,323 --> 01:04:18,483
All right.
993
01:04:20,523 --> 01:04:22,883
I just keep thinking
994
01:04:26,643 --> 01:04:28,899
what if she walked through
the door right now?
995
01:04:28,923 --> 01:04:31,043
Where does that
leave you and me?
996
01:04:32,563 --> 01:04:34,403
It's not gonna happen.
997
01:04:38,883 --> 01:04:40,563
See, erm
998
01:04:41,683 --> 01:04:44,123
that's not the answer.
999
01:04:46,603 --> 01:04:49,939
The answer is, "It
wouldn't matter, Cleo.
1000
01:04:49,963 --> 01:04:53,203
"She walked out on me seven
years ago. And I'm with you now."
1001
01:04:59,123 --> 01:05:02,763
Call me when you're
through... with all of this.

MAN: Mrs Morton? Yes.

Silver light Lock works.
Your daughter Abby called.
1007
01:05:43,123 --> 01:05:45,323
Come in.
1008
01:05:51,363 --> 01:05:53,139
You called, Mr Hegarty?
1009
01:05:53,163 --> 01:05:56,019
I've just had a phone call from
a rather nervous young woman.
1010
01:05:56,043 --> 01:05:59,779
She asked if I'd be able to sell
a collection of high-value stamps.
1011
01:05:59,803 --> 01:06:01,579
When I asked for details,
1012
01:06:01,603 --> 01:06:06,259
she described exactly the stamps
I purchased for Lorraine Welbeck.
1013
01:06:06,283 --> 01:06:09,499
Are you sure? If I hadn't
gone through my files today,
1014
01:06:09,523 --> 01:06:12,299
I doubt I'd have realised
they were such an exact match.
1015
01:06:12,323 --> 01:06:14,899
Did you ask her
where she got them?
1016
01:06:14,923 --> 01:06:17,979
She said she inherited them from
a woman she looked after in Spain.
1017
01:06:18,003 --> 01:06:20,259
Somebody she'd met at
a party there told her
1018
01:06:20,283 --> 01:06:21,819
she'd get a better
price in the UK
1019
01:06:21,843 --> 01:06:24,779
and I was one of the
dealers she should talk to.
1020
01:06:24,803 --> 01:06:27,979
She's coming in this afternoon
to show me the stamps.
1021
01:06:28,003 --> 01:06:29,443
What's her name?
1022
01:06:31,843 --> 01:06:34,163
Miss Jennings? Police.
1023
01:06:36,843 --> 01:06:38,643
Open it.
1024
01:06:43,203 --> 01:06:45,243
Miss Jennings?
1025
01:06:51,843 --> 01:06:54,803
Nice quiet hobby,
eh, stamp collecting.
1026
01:07:07,163 --> 01:07:08,963
Mum?
1027
01:07:11,163 --> 01:07:13,003
PHONE RINGS
1028
01:07:16,203 --> 01:07:18,539
'Abbs. It's me. It's Mum.'
1029
01:07:18,563 --> 01:07:20,699
Mum?
1030
01:07:20,723 --> 01:07:22,819
Mum, where are.. Where
do you get a mobile?
1031
01:07:22,843 --> 01:07:27,323
Ricky wants to talk to you.
Please do what he tells you.
1032
01:07:28,723 --> 01:07:30,979
Hello, Ab. Where's my mum?
1033
01:07:31,003 --> 01:07:33,619
Where is she, you
bastard? Where is she?
1034
01:07:33,643 --> 01:07:35,939
She's fine. So far.
1035
01:07:35,963 --> 01:07:37,579
I'm calling the police.
1036
01:07:37,603 --> 01:07:39,619
Look, I don't care about
anything else any more.
1037
01:07:39,643 --> 01:07:41,059
'What're you going
to say to them?'
1038
01:07:41,083 --> 01:07:42,579
"I stole everything this man had
1039
01:07:42,603 --> 01:07:45,339
"and now he's caught up with me
and taken my mother hostage?"
1040
01:07:45,363 --> 01:07:48,299
What, I stole from you?
You and himself, obviously.
1041
01:07:48,323 --> 01:07:50,619
Was there any position he
didn't tell you to shag me in
1042
01:07:50,643 --> 01:07:52,059
to get what you wanted?
1043
01:07:52,083 --> 01:07:55,179
This has got nothing to do with
my mum, Rick. She's not well.
1044
01:07:55,203 --> 01:07:58,059
Look, just bring her
here and we'll talk.
1045
01:07:58,083 --> 01:08:00,979
No. You bring me everything
you nicked and then we'll talk.
1046
01:08:01,003 --> 01:08:02,699
Look, I meant what I said.
1047
01:08:02,723 --> 01:08:04,539
I'm hanging up now and
calling the police.
1048
01:08:04,563 --> 01:08:07,179
You do that, and all they're gonna
find is a chronically ill woman
1049
01:08:07,203 --> 01:08:09,299
who's committed suicide,
and her daughter,
1050
01:08:09,323 --> 01:08:11,419
a self-confessed thief
with a cock-and-bull story
1051
01:08:11,443 --> 01:08:15,579
about a man she stole from.
Is that really what you want?
1052
01:08:15,603 --> 01:08:17,139
BEEPING
1053
01:08:17,163 --> 01:08:18,683
Rick!
1054
01:08:21,843 --> 01:08:24,379
So I've been going through the
passenger manifest for the ferry
1055
01:08:24,403 --> 01:08:26,419
that Lorraine Welbeck
didn't step off.
1056
01:08:26,443 --> 01:08:28,859
It seemed to me, if you're
leaving one identity behind,
1057
01:08:28,883 --> 01:08:32,179
it makes sense to have
another one lined up. Right?
1058
01:08:32,203 --> 01:08:34,139
You mean, she got on the
boat as Lorraine Welbeck
1059
01:08:34,163 --> 01:08:35,979
and stepped off as someone else?
1060
01:08:36,003 --> 01:08:38,419
So I went through all the other
women passengers travelling
1061
01:08:38,443 --> 01:08:40,099
on a single ticket
and I compared them
1062
01:08:40,123 --> 01:08:41,819
to anyone travelling
on from Dieppe.
1063
01:08:41,843 --> 01:08:44,419
I found one passenger who
got on an Air France flight
1064
01:08:44,443 --> 01:08:47,219
within an hour of the
ferry docking. Where to?
1065
01:08:47,243 --> 01:08:51,219
San Sebastian. Hold on. So she
got on the ferry to Dieppe,
1066
01:08:51,243 --> 01:08:55,499
and then within an hour she got
on a plane from there to Spain?
1067
01:08:55,523 --> 01:08:57,299
Why not just fly
direct from the UK?
1068
01:08:57,323 --> 01:08:59,459
Name? Margaret Nelson.
1069
01:08:59,483 --> 01:09:02,779
Only, her ticket was paid
for by one David Nelson.
1070
01:09:02,803 --> 01:09:07,739
Ah, the same David Nelson of
Cape Trafalgar Holdings maybe?
1071
01:09:07,763 --> 01:09:10,779
So what're we thinking? Maybe
David Nelson is Ronnie Welbeck?
1072
01:09:10,803 --> 01:09:12,379
More than maybe.
1073
01:09:12,403 --> 01:09:15,259
I also have a David Nelson
who got on a flight to Madrid,
1074
01:09:15,283 --> 01:09:17,659
then on to San
Sebastian from Jersey,
1075
01:09:17,683 --> 01:09:21,139
the morning after Ronnie's light
aircraft disappeared in the channel.
1076
01:09:21,163 --> 01:09:23,739
So Ronnie Welbeck
fakes his own death
1077
01:09:23,763 --> 01:09:25,659
in order to escape
his creditors.
1078
01:09:25,683 --> 01:09:28,299
And Lorraine converts his
life insurance into stamps
1079
01:09:28,323 --> 01:09:31,059
in order to fund her
new life in Spain.
1080
01:09:31,083 --> 01:09:33,979
Isn't that where Chad Skebbs
went off to? Potentially.
1081
01:09:34,003 --> 01:09:36,499
But where Lorraine was found
just outside of Biarritz,
1082
01:09:36,523 --> 01:09:39,363
well, that's half an hour
from the Spanish border.
1083
01:09:41,003 --> 01:09:44,419
Which is an hour
to San Sebastian.
1084
01:09:44,443 --> 01:09:47,459
Just two Brighton boys
having fun in the sun...
1085
01:09:47,483 --> 01:09:51,459
We've got DNA confirmation on
the Lorraine Welbeck foetus.
1086
01:09:51,483 --> 01:09:53,619
Guess who the father is?
1087
01:09:53,643 --> 01:09:55,003
Ronnie Welbeck.
1088
01:09:56,123 --> 01:10:00,019
Not bad for a dead guy, eh?
The Immaculate Erection.
1089
01:10:00,043 --> 01:10:01,579
See?
1090
01:10:01,603 --> 01:10:03,819
This is why we can't
have nice things.
1091
01:10:03,843 --> 01:10:06,299
What about Katherine Jennings?
We couldn't find her.
1092
01:10:06,323 --> 01:10:10,019
No. I mean, she's
here. She's downstairs.
1093
01:10:10,043 --> 01:10:11,899
My real name's Abby Morton.
1094
01:10:11,923 --> 01:10:15,379
I flew back to England to
try to escape my boyfriend.
1095
01:10:15,403 --> 01:10:18,659
I thought using a different
name would make it easier.
1096
01:10:18,683 --> 01:10:20,643
But I was wrong.
1097
01:10:22,443 --> 01:10:26,499
OK, Abby, would you like
to tell us what's going on?
1098
01:10:26,523 --> 01:10:29,459
Everything we need to know
about you, your mother,
1099
01:10:29,483 --> 01:10:31,323
and the man you say
who kidnapped her.
1100
01:10:33,403 --> 01:10:35,979
I was left a
collection of stamps.
1101
01:10:36,003 --> 01:10:39,859
I didn't know anything about them,
but I was dating this guy, Ricky,
1102
01:10:39,883 --> 01:10:44,579
in San Sebastian, who was in the
rare stamp and coin business.
1103
01:10:44,603 --> 01:10:46,739
Ricky? As in Richard Skebbs?
1104
01:10:46,763 --> 01:10:49,099
Yeah. Yeah, you know him?
1105
01:10:49,123 --> 01:10:51,203
Yeah. We know him. Go on.
1106
01:10:53,003 --> 01:10:55,339
Well, I asked him to have
a look at 'em for me.
1107
01:10:55,363 --> 01:10:58,539
See if they were worth
anything. I gave them to him.
1108
01:10:58,563 --> 01:11:01,179
He gave 'em back a
couple of days later.
1109
01:11:01,203 --> 01:11:03,859
He said there were a few there
that might be worth something,
1110
01:11:03,883 --> 01:11:08,019
but most of them were replicas.
Collectable, but not valuable.
1111
01:11:08,043 --> 01:11:11,539
He said they're worth a couple
of thousand euros at most.
1112
01:11:11,563 --> 01:11:16,259
But a few days later, I was having
a look at one of his stamp mags
1113
01:11:16,283 --> 01:11:20,499
and I came across this article
about a Plate 77 Penny Red,
1114
01:11:20,523 --> 01:11:24,259
went for over 450 large
at auction in London.
1115
01:11:24,283 --> 01:11:27,819
It was similar to the
plate of Penny Reds I had.
1116
01:11:27,843 --> 01:11:32,739
Anyway, later that
night he was wasted,
1117
01:11:32,763 --> 01:11:34,979
so I had a look at
his laptop and I found
1118
01:11:35,003 --> 01:11:37,699
this bunch of emails to
dealers all over the world,
1119
01:11:37,723 --> 01:11:40,619
offering stamps that were
clearly mine for sale.
1120
01:11:40,643 --> 01:11:44,979
He'd broken 'em up so they couldn't
be identified as a collection.
1121
01:11:45,003 --> 01:11:47,299
And did you confront him?
1122
01:11:47,323 --> 01:11:49,083
No.
1123
01:11:50,123 --> 01:11:51,819
No.
1124
01:11:51,843 --> 01:11:56,179
When I first met him, he told me
how easy stamps were to conceal.
1125
01:11:56,203 --> 01:11:58,299
How they were a great
way to launder money
1126
01:11:58,323 --> 01:12:00,299
and transport it all
across the world.
1127
01:12:00,323 --> 01:12:02,059
Even if you got stopped,
1128
01:12:02,083 --> 01:12:05,139
most customs wouldn't have
a clue about their value.
1129
01:12:05,163 --> 01:12:08,683
'Ricky said the best way to
hide 'em was inside a book.
1130
01:12:10,643 --> 01:12:12,979
'Hardback. Or
anything like that.
1131
01:12:13,003 --> 01:12:15,923
'So, I searched his shelves.
1132
01:12:25,203 --> 01:12:27,123
'And I found them.'
1133
01:12:37,083 --> 01:12:40,379
I packed a bag and flew out on
the first flight I could get.
1134
01:12:40,403 --> 01:12:44,803
So why didn't you go to the Spanish
police, report what he'd done?
1135
01:12:46,603 --> 01:12:49,619
I thought he might spin the
police a story to get them back.
1136
01:12:49,643 --> 01:12:53,043
Or come after me,
try and hurt me.
1137
01:12:56,203 --> 01:12:58,139
My mum's not well.
1138
01:12:58,163 --> 01:13:00,923
I need the money from the stamps
to pay for her to be in a home.
1139
01:13:06,963 --> 01:13:09,563
Did you ever meet this man?
1140
01:13:11,043 --> 01:13:14,139
No. Why? Who is he?
1141
01:13:14,163 --> 01:13:18,419
His name's Ronnie Welbeck. He's
a known associate of Chad Skebbs.
1142
01:13:18,443 --> 01:13:22,219
We're looking for him in connection
with a double murder. Murder?
1143
01:13:22,243 --> 01:13:24,459
That's right, the
body of his first wife
1144
01:13:24,483 --> 01:13:27,219
was found recently in a
storm drain in Brighton.
1145
01:13:27,243 --> 01:13:30,339
And his second wife, Lorraine, was
recovered from the boot of a car
1146
01:13:30,363 --> 01:13:34,699
in a pond on land that we
believe Welbeck owns in Biarritz.
1147
01:13:34,723 --> 01:13:36,643
She was four months pregnant.
1148
01:13:41,043 --> 01:13:44,579
Both his wives had just
come into considerable sums
1149
01:13:44,603 --> 01:13:47,803
before they were killed.
You're sure you don't know him?
1150
01:13:49,203 --> 01:13:52,043
He may be calling
himself Dave Nelson now.
1151
01:13:54,323 --> 01:13:58,243
Call himself what he likes, I... I
wouldn't know. I've never met him.
1152
01:14:02,123 --> 01:14:05,459
So you say you were
left these stamps.
1153
01:14:05,483 --> 01:14:08,619
Yeah. That's right. By whom?
1154
01:14:08,643 --> 01:14:12,099
Mrs Jennings.
Katherine Jennings.
1155
01:14:12,123 --> 01:14:15,803
She was an old lady I was a
live-in carer for in Spain.
1156
01:14:17,483 --> 01:14:19,699
And where are
they now? They're
1157
01:14:19,723 --> 01:14:21,683
they're safe.
1158
01:14:24,203 --> 01:14:26,243
You believe her? Not really.
1159
01:14:27,723 --> 01:14:30,619
But whatever else she's lying about,
I do believe she's frightened.
1160
01:14:30,643 --> 01:14:32,779
There's no way she
would come and see us
1161
01:14:32,803 --> 01:14:35,659
unless she was genuinely
scared for her mother's life.
1162
01:14:35,683 --> 01:14:39,619
But she's lying about where she came
by the stamps. Almost certainly.
1163
01:14:39,643 --> 01:14:41,459
Ronnie was already
seeing Lorraine
1164
01:14:41,483 --> 01:14:43,819
by the time Joanna came
into her inheritance.
1165
01:14:43,843 --> 01:14:46,419
So Ronnie rids himself of Joanna,
and then ends up with the money,
1166
01:14:46,443 --> 01:14:48,659
and Lorraine into the bargain.
1167
01:14:48,683 --> 01:14:52,179
Further down the line, he fakes his
own death to escape his creditors
1168
01:14:52,203 --> 01:14:54,259
and then cashes in on
his life insurance.
1169
01:14:54,283 --> 01:14:57,179
Which Lorraine collects
and converts into stamps.
1170
01:14:57,203 --> 01:15:01,419
And then, Lorraine fakes her death,
flies under an assumed name to Spain
1171
01:15:01,443 --> 01:15:05,339
to join Ronnie and start a new
life as Margaret and David Nelson.
1172
01:15:05,363 --> 01:15:07,819
And then history repeats itself.
1173
01:15:07,843 --> 01:15:10,819
Ronnie meets Abby, the
next thing you know,
1174
01:15:10,843 --> 01:15:14,139
Lorraine's in the boot of
a car in a pond in France.
1175
01:15:14,163 --> 01:15:18,859
And the stamps? Well, I think she's
twisting the story a little bit.
1176
01:15:18,883 --> 01:15:21,699
So Ronnie gets in touch
with his old mate Skebbs
1177
01:15:21,723 --> 01:15:23,779
with a view to
selling the stamps.
1178
01:15:23,803 --> 01:15:26,219
And Skebbs rips him off by
replacing the real ones with fake.
1179
01:15:26,243 --> 01:15:28,419
And Ronnie sends in
Abby to get them back,
1180
01:15:28,443 --> 01:15:30,779
and, well, the rest goes down
pretty much the way she said.
1181
01:15:30,803 --> 01:15:33,019
Yeah, but we'll get
to the bottom of it.
1182
01:15:33,043 --> 01:15:37,539
But right now, our priority is
getting Abby's mum back alive.
1183
01:15:37,563 --> 01:15:39,299
And on that score, all we can do
1184
01:15:39,323 --> 01:15:41,643
is wait for Skebbs to
make his next move.
1185
01:15:49,843 --> 01:15:51,859
Ma'am.
1186
01:15:51,883 --> 01:15:55,899
Abby Morton, Katherine Jennings,
is currently sitting in a hotel,
1187
01:15:55,923 --> 01:15:58,219
awaiting instructions
from Skebbs
1188
01:15:58,243 --> 01:16:01,219
for the handover of the
stamps and her mother.
1189
01:16:01,243 --> 01:16:04,923
I'd like Cassian on the team.
In an observational capacity.
1190
01:16:06,483 --> 01:16:09,243
The man has tried to
suggest I murdered my wife.
1191
01:16:10,643 --> 01:16:14,659
That's an observation. Cassian is
an experienced hostage negotiator.
1192
01:16:14,683 --> 01:16:18,259
I'd like Skebbs taken
alive, with no loss of life,
1193
01:16:18,283 --> 01:16:21,779
and no major injury to any of my
officers or members of the public.

It's her.
1196
01:16:49,843 --> 01:16:51,779
I should probably clear the air.
1197
01:16:51,803 --> 01:16:54,699
You should probably clear your
desk. I was trying to help.
1198
01:16:54,723 --> 01:16:56,979
And what did you find, Cassian?
1199
01:16:57,003 --> 01:16:59,739
In your search of
my house and garden.
1200
01:16:59,763 --> 01:17:01,259
Nothing.
1201
01:17:01,283 --> 01:17:03,403
No. And do you know why?
1202
01:17:04,763 --> 01:17:07,083
Because I didn't murder my wife.

after the barn.' 'Where's my mum?'

Where's my mum?
Where's the stamps?

GRINDING
1249
01:21:53,003 --> 01:21:56,219
So you think Skebbs got hold of
the stamps from Ronnie Welbeck,
1250
01:21:56,243 --> 01:22:00,499
then Abby Morton, in her turn,
ripped off Skebbs for Ronnie?
1251
01:22:00,523 --> 01:22:02,379
Something like that.
1252
01:22:02,403 --> 01:22:04,579
So where are the
stamps now? With Abby.
1253
01:22:04,603 --> 01:22:07,579
We've had them scanned and
photocopied, for our records.
1254
01:22:07,603 --> 01:22:11,139
And she's agreed to produce them
as an exhibit, if necessary.
1255
01:22:11,163 --> 01:22:13,379
And Hegarty is certain
they're the ones
1256
01:22:13,403 --> 01:22:15,539
that he bought for
Lorraine Welbeck?
1257
01:22:15,563 --> 01:22:18,619
Not so certain that he's willing
to testify in a court of law.
1258
01:22:18,643 --> 01:22:20,499
None of this brings
us a step closer
1259
01:22:20,523 --> 01:22:23,003
to arresting Ronnie for
Joanna and Lorraine.
1260
01:22:24,963 --> 01:22:28,563
We've got two murder victims
here, Roy. Two dead women.
1261
01:22:30,083 --> 01:22:33,499
Don't want us to lose sight of
that fact. I haven't, Ma'am.
1262
01:22:33,523 --> 01:22:35,603
Not for a second.
1263
01:22:36,843 --> 01:22:39,459
'What about putting more
surveillance on her?'
1264
01:22:39,483 --> 01:22:41,859
I suspect that Ronnie Welbeck
will have long flown the coop
1265
01:22:41,883 --> 01:22:43,259
from wherever he's
been holed up.
1266
01:22:43,283 --> 01:22:46,179
He'll have seen online that we've
found the remains of his wives.
1267
01:22:46,203 --> 01:22:49,323
He wouldn't risk coming back here.
Abby'll go and meet him somewhere?
1268
01:22:50,403 --> 01:22:51,819
Put out an "all ports".
1269
01:22:51,843 --> 01:22:54,739
She buys a ticket, or someone
matching her description
1270
01:22:54,763 --> 01:22:57,763
turns up at passport control,
hopefully she'll lead us to him.
1271
01:23:11,683 --> 01:23:13,163
What are you trying to win?
1272
01:23:14,443 --> 01:23:17,619
"A fortnight for two at a
luxury hotel in Mauritius."
1273
01:23:17,643 --> 01:23:20,059
Mum, you don't even
have a passport.
1274
01:23:20,083 --> 01:23:22,099
I know, love, but
you could easily
1275
01:23:22,123 --> 01:23:24,523
get me one if I needed
it, couldn't you?
1276
01:23:26,563 --> 01:23:30,963
I might be losing my marbles,
but I'm not as daft as I look.
1277
01:23:32,803 --> 01:23:34,979
I'd love you to get a passport.
1278
01:23:35,003 --> 01:23:36,683
I'd love you to join me.

But it's all right.
1283
01:23:57,043 --> 01:23:59,923

remembered me as I was.

1287

But Ronnie Welbeck, Dave Nelson,
1318

is now awaiting extradition
to the UK from Thailand

on suspicion of the murder of
both Joanna and Lorraine Welbeck.
1320

And the stamps?
1321
01:27:42,283 --> 01:27:45,579
Well, Hegarty's certain that the
stuff we photocopied is all rubbish.
1322
01:27:45,603 --> 01:27:48,339
And no-one's actually
reported the stamps stolen.
1323
01:27:48,363 --> 01:27:50,539
Well, couldn't the insurance
companies that paid out
1324
01:27:50,563 --> 01:27:52,299
on Ronnie Welbeck's
life have a claim?
1325
01:27:52,323 --> 01:27:54,579
Same problem. Chain of title.
1326
01:27:54,603 --> 01:27:57,099
Without Hegarty testifying
that they are the same stamps,
1327
01:27:57,123 --> 01:27:59,179
how are they going to prove it?
1328
01:27:59,203 --> 01:28:00,803
So where do we think she is now?
1329
01:28:02,083 --> 01:28:03,979

"Pepe le Pew" has
