She actually said that
she thought it was a body?

Yes. Yeah, she did.

He told me he'd stolen some of your
jewellery. He wouldn't tell me why.

Joanna... she got pregnant.

Thea's now 38.

What have they done? What
did you tell them to do?

He fell asleep smoking.
Wouldn't have known a thing.

OK, we've got something!

Just there!

Nicholas Howard Whitmore, known as Nick.

My wife... What have you done to her?

I don't know where your wife is, Ray.

I didn't do it.

But I know who did.

Ah, Mrs Slater. If you'd
like to follow me...

- Mr Slater?
- Yeah.

Er, both of us, we're her sons.

I wanted to tell you what's happening.

Your mother's being released now

- and has been bailed to
return here in a month. - OK.

And so, has she been charged
with anything, or...?

- No, not yet.
- Right. I see.

And, my father... Is-Is
he...? What's happening there?

Your father went before
a magistrate's court

a couple of hours ago and was then
transferred to East Bridge Prison.

He's being held in remand after
being charged with two murders.

- No.
- Has he confessed?

All I can tell you, I'm afraid.

He... killed two people?

Like I said, that's all
I know at the moment.

So... I think what would be best

is if you just took your mum home.

All right, Mrs Slater?

Oh, Matthew, I've been so scared.

It's Les, Mum.

Um, the car's outside.

Mr Slater?

In cases like this,

it might be worth trying to find somewhere
quiet for a few days to take everyone.

Till the papers and TV settle down a bit.

It's not... gonna be easy for you.

A witness saw a man's car
leaving at four in the morning.

He drove there in his own car?

He says he parked half
a mile away but, er...

Where is he now?

He just rang me from the police station.

But it's fine.

If they do link the fire to him,
he's not going to name anyone.

As long as we can look after his family.

He has a wife, two kids.

How much?

Two million.

And how much of that are you getting?

Or he just gives them your name
and gets a reduced sentence.

I know people, Asil.

The only reason I didn't go
to them to deal with Fenwick

is cos I thought the
police was watching me.

But they're not watching me now.

You knew what I was when you married me.

In fact, you liked it.

You should have called, Dad. I
would've come and picked you up.

No, it's all right.

Bus came almost immediately.

What did the police say?

Oh, they were very nice.

They said that... that, perhaps,
if I offered to pay it all back...

.. then... I might escape
a custodial sentence.

I might need a day or two.

Sort things out with Grace.

And the girls.

And the church.

Lots to sort out.

Excuse me, mate.

Sorry, but have you seen
this woman on the paper?

There's a number there as well, mate.

Thanks. Thanks very much.

- Cheers. Ta-ta.
- You're welcome.

Come on, mate. We're both exhausted.

Let's go home and get some rest.

No, you can stop if you
want to. I'm staying.

Excuse me.

Have you seen this woman on your travels?

You still say you didn't kill
them, but you know who did?

Yes.

And are you gonna tell us?

Yes.

I-I-I want to be moved to a
prison near my boy, Leslie.

And I want a doctor.

I-I don't feel, um...

I don't feel well.

Well, we can certainly
look into all that, Eric.

But first we need a name.

What?

I'm sure you understand this.

It might look like you're just...
you're just making things up.

Just, um, toying with us.

Y-Y-You get me what I've asked for...

.. and then I'll tell you.

What do you think?

I think I'm struggling very hard
not to punch him in the face.

- You think it's bollocks?
- Yeah. I think it's bollocks.

- Except whatever name he gives us...
- Which he won't.

It would be easy enough to discount
very quickly, so what's the point?

You said it.

He's yanking our chain.

Having a bit of fun.

He's had all this... this
power for the last 40 years,

this secret only he's known.

And now, now it's all gone.

Now all he's got to look forward to
is dying in some pissy prison cell

with East End Arthur to hold his hand.

I just...

Last night, after we charged
him, I sat in my office and I...

Oh, I dunno.

It just felt wrong.

Of course it did.

We wanted him to admit it.

We wanted him to look us in the eye

and tell us that our work had
made it impossible for him to lie.

So we could go to Maureen Sullivan
and tell her that he'd confessed.

Unfortunately, people like Eric Slater...
don't give a toss about stuff like that.

Yeah, I think you're right.

But, let's, um, just
call his bluff, anyway.

Then see what he says.

What do you think?

I reckon you're gonna do
whatever you want to do.

Um, we need to see the
Governor, please. Thank you.

Police investigating the
James Sullivan murder case

have arrested and charged a man...

.. with two counts of
murder. The arrests...

It's one of our rentals, but
it's vacant at the moment

and it's in the middle of
nowhere. I'll text you the address.

Bring Mum, obviously.

Oh, no.

She's in theatre.

They're doing an emergency Caesarean.

Oh.

What is it? What-What caused it?

Is it connected in any way
to stress, or perhaps...?

They said not.

All right.

Can I wait with you?

If Mum comes out, I think you
ought to wait in the cafe.

Of course.

Excuse me. We're looking
for a missing person.

- If you see her, can you
give us a call? - Yeah. Sure.

Hey! I saw her yesterday.

Where?

Here.

Well... W-Was she OK?

Was she?

- I'm really sorry, mate --
- Just tell me.

She jumped.

- What is it?
- Ah.

Oh...

No.

No!

Does she know about us?

Yes.

And, you know... she's always
wanted me to tell you about her.

Erm...

How involved in... in her life were you?

How often did you... do you see her?

Once a week.

Sometimes twice.

For nearly four decades, you've
seen this woman twice a week?

My daughter, yes.

That's more than you saw us.

Yes.

I wasn't as present for
you as I should have been.

I completely accept that.

At some level, I was also scared...

.. that if I got too close
you'd see me, the real me...

.. and that was wrong.

And I'll regret the choices I
made for the rest of my life.

- Baby's fine.
- Oh, Mum!

Four pounds, one ounce.

Ah, Caroline's in recovery.

- The baby's in the special care
unit. She'd like to see you. - OK.

We should be so happy, Robert.

Our first grandchild.

Ah, so, er, we can get you into a prison

which is, um, half an
hour from your son's home.

It has a good psychiatric department,

where we can get you properly assessed.

Make sure you're getting the right
help, if you co-operate with us now.

If you start asking for other
stuff, um, this dialogue ends.

The process continues to
trial and... trust me...

.. on the evidence we have,
you will be convicted.

So, um, it is time to talk.

Do you wanna...?

Resuming interview with Eric Slater.

Present: DCI Stuart, DS Khan,
Duty Solicitor Elise Hughes.

Time is... Er, it's 10:17.

It was Claire.

I'm sorry. Can you say that
again? Because I didn't hear you.

I said it was Claire, my wife.

It was Claire.

I met Claire at Hunter and Regis in 1969.

They-They made air conditioning units.

I worked in accounts and, um, she
was... she was in the typing pool.

I-I'd never been very
good with the ladies.

But I always felt very relaxed around her.

We found the same things funny.

Always had plenty to talk about and
one day, she just asked me out.

A bit unconventional, but I didn't mind.

Our first date was at the
Locarno, in Queen's Park.

We kissed outside

and I bought us saveloy and chips
from a takeaway in Townmead Road.

Yeah, we courted for, er, a year or so

and then got married, before
we moved to Dollis Hill.

That's where I got the job
at, er, Arlingham House

which was, er, which was round the corner.

1971, er, that was.

Yes, she-she wanted kids im-immediately

because, you know, we were
neither of us spring chickens.

Which, I did too, very much.

But there was a problem.

Which I think she always
knew about in her heart

and-and, er, hoped would changed.

And, er, I wanted it to change.

I wanted it to change, but it wouldn't.

I couldn't.

What problem?

I liked men.

I didn't want to.

I absolutely didn't want to.

Just how I was.

You liked men and women, or just...?

I loved my wife. I mean,
I still do. Very much.

And obviously, I was able to,
er, you know... We had two boys.

But, right from when I was a kid,

I just had this thing
inside of me that made me...

- .. want to be with men.
- Men like Paul West?

I never wanted to hurt West.

He asked me to rough him up a bit.

Some men seem to like that.

And Jimmy? And Nicholas?

Well, Jimmy, he just wanted money.

Nicholas, I-I met in the pub.

And how did they die?

I-I would never have hurt Jimmy.

I loved him.

I'd never have hurt him.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I think we might need five minutes.

Five minutes. No more, please.

We're taking a short
break in the interview.

Time is... It's 10:41. Would you...?

You gotta hand it to the man.

He is smart as fuck.

If you're going to blame somebody else,

then choose a woman whose
memory is completely shot

and can't even deny it.

His face, though.

What?

It was the same as in his house
when we asked him about Paul West.

And last night at the station, when
we said we were gonna charge him.

When he said it wasn't him.

And now I know why I
felt so crap afterwards.

Why?

Because I believed him.

You call the station.

We need to re-arrest Claire Slater.

Yeah, but, I-I-I thought the
CPS said that we could...?

Yeah, yeah. Which one
of the sons took her?

Um, er, I'm not sure.

I'll... I'll call their homes.

OK.

(Bollocks.)

Mr Wilton?

Yes.

Your wife was pulled out of the river.

A passerby jumped in.

She was unconscious when she came out

and was taken immediately to St Thomas'.

I'm afraid that's all I know.

Murray?

- Have we got mobile numbers for the sons?
- I dunno, maybe.

Why, are neither of them at the house?

No. I'm not sure they
will be for a few days.

I thought we were done with her

and I kind of told them they might
want to lie low for a week or so.

I'd-I'd stayed late, er, to-to
see him, er, Jimmy, again.

And, er, she must've just guessed.

I think she always knew
when I was, er, well...

This-This one time,
she-she came to find me.

And what you need to know...
is she wasn't well, mentally.

Er, we'd just had Leslie and
ever since she'd been, oh!

Well, phew, ve-very s... very sick.

And, of course, in those
days, the doctors,

they just told you to
pull yourself together.

You know? So, she never,
never got any... any help.

And I never s... I never
saw her coming down.

It was dark.

Well, she-she saw us.

She-She hit him with, um, with a
hammer she'd found on a workbench.

Just once.

But I-I knew from the
sound it made that, uh...

Oh, and then she was screaming at me,

calling me... all the names under the sun.

I was trying to get me hand
over her mouth to keep her quiet

and by the time I'd sorted her out...

Jimmy... Well, I-I think he was
dead before he hit the floor.

So, er, I locked the cellar.

Took Claire home.

Came back later.

Course I-I couldn't risk,
er, carrying him outside,

so, um, I buried him there...

.. later that night.

Will you tell his mother,
please, that I said prayers?

I said prayers for him.

I-I, um, I looked after him.

Of course, I, I assumed that, um,
you know, er, we'd be caught.

He'd be found. But he... He never was.

And, oh, that night.

I vowed to stop all of that for good.

And we moved up to, er, Ely.

Yeah, to get away from London.

It worked. Mm.

Yes, it worked. Um...

Yeah, two years later, we had little Matty

and it, it was all, er...

You know, but, it was the
'70s. There was no work.

And, erm, I ended up having
to get a job back in London,

two days a week in Camden.

And I started to stay out late again.

So, er, one night she left
the kids with a friend.

Came down to London, followed me, er...

.. from work up to Hampstead

and found me with Nicholas in my car.

Of course, she went for him.

Pulled him out, punching.

Kicking and, er, then,
he was on the ground.

Blood everywhere.

She-She always said that
it was him who'd drawn it...

.. the-the knife.

But she was, er, ill.

Very ill again aft-after-after Matty.

So, I, um, I pulled him
back, back into the car.

I want you to know

that I stood outside police
stations dozens of times.

Dozens of times after Jimmy.

And, um, what did she feel?

Well, when she got better, of course,

she was devastated by what she'd done.

But, you know, we had a little boy.

If we'd both gone to prison...

And after Nicholas Whitmore?

I-I drove my car into a tree
two weeks after Nicholas.

I wanted to die.

But actually, in the end,

I think, er, this... er, this,
erm, was a fairer punishment.

I'm sure Jimmy and Nicholas's
families, er... wouldn't agree.

I've already made calls, Joshie.

People who'll make that little
prick Asil shit out of his ears.

Dad, the police are coming.

Huh?

The police are coming in to
arrest you in five minutes.

They've already pulled up down the road.

What do you mean, coming in to...?

Why are police coming to arrest me?

Because I told them about Fenwick.

Cos I think you've lost your
way, Dad. I think we all have.

And because I love you.

Goodnight, Mum.

I'm so sorry, Ray, I...

Don't you say another word.

Not one word.

It's me who should be apologising.

It's me.

Uh-huh.

What?

Oh...

OK, cheers. Thanks.

Nobody has any idea where
Claire or her sons are.

They've disappeared.

Oh, Caz, he's gorgeous.

You can't call him Noah.

(Shit.) Sorry.

Hello. Ellie speaking.

Hello?

Hi, Ellie. Erm, er, you don't know me.

My name's Thea.

I'm your half-sister.

And how bad is it?

I spoke to her GP earlier.

I mean, obviously we'd have
to get our own assessment done

but, yeah, it's, it's fairly advanced.

She first presented four years ago,

but the decline in the last few months
has been particularly rapid, apparently.

Right.

Well, you know what I'm going to say.

Could she properly remember
what she's been accused of?

Could she tell her solicitor
her side of things?

Could she challenge what
witnesses say in court?

And, if she can't do any of those
things, she's unfit to plead.

- OK, so... - Well, there are
a number of questions here.

I mean, if he's worked all this out,

why would he not say it was her?

Assisting an offender carries a
maximum sentence of ten years.

Now, given his age he might get,
I don't know, eight. Out in four.

- For double murder, he's
gonna die in prison. - Yeah.

- What's your gut feeling?
- All of it is true.

To admit what he did, my feeling is that,

that was actually harder for
him than saying he killed them.

Which might sound unbelievable,
until you think that

for the first 30 years of his life
what he was, what he did was illegal

and, um, utterly disgusting
to 99% of the population.

I think that shame absolutely remains.

Then why did he admit it, then?

Because, in the end, he knew that

his boys were gonna lose their
mother pretty soon, anyway.

Already had, to a degree.

So telling us what he did, I
think his reasoning was that

that meant at least they didn't lose both.

And is there any evidence
to corroborate his version?

I think we'll find evidence that he
had multiple homosexual relationships.

We might find, er, medical records

confirming she had some
form of postpartum psychosis.

Maybe even we'll be able
to place her at the hostel,

um, on the... on the night Jimmy died.

And then, if we do, then, his
narrative is better than ours.

We've got a mobile number
for Matthew Slater's work.

No answer from him yet, but his
work have told us where he is.

- Local police are on their way.
- OK, thank you.

You really are an evil bitch, aren't you?

Matthew...

How could you have watched your
husband put a body in the ground

- and not said anything?
- What body? What are you talking about?

How could that ever have seemed
an acceptable thing to do?

- Matthew, you're scaring me.
- Good!

I wonder if you feel as scared
as your grandson was yesterday?

Or as I did when I watched the news and
realised that this is who we are now.

Ooh! Sorry.

- Oh, sorry. Uh...
- No, no, I-I'll just...

♪ .. The unspeakable wrong... ♪

- Hey. - I've just walked
in on your granddad.

Oh, right, with Annie.

What? I don't know, it
was a little old lady.

Yeah. She works at the Feathers.

- Sorry about that.
- No, no, no. It's fine, you know.

- I shouldn't have barged in.
- No, it's your house.

I should've knocked or...

- Anyway, I'm bushed so, uh... - Sure.
No problem. - .. I'm gonna turn in.

- Yeah. - Night. - Night, then.

That went well (!)

Class (!)

You have absolutely no proof

my client was connected to
these events in any way.

And if either of you have
kids, I don't need to tell you

just how many reasons there could
be for Josh saying what he did

without any connection
to the truth whatsoever.

Which is all well and good, Mr Archer,

but doesn't really answer my question.

Did you pay to have Gordon
Fenwick murdered, Sir Phillip?

If you have no further questions,
I think we'll be on our way.

They've got nothing to hold you
here, Sir Phillip. Let's go.

Yes.

Er... I'm sorry?

Sir Philip.

Yes.

I paid for Gordon Fenwick to be killed.

Early?

Listen, um, last night...

Please. There's no need.

No, I just wanted to say that I'm
trying to look forward, Cass.

Cos life goes on, doesn't it?

And just live your life for you, Dad.

Just-Just do what makes you happy.

Please.

Please, please.

Hey there, Miss.

Hello, sweetheart.

How lovely to see you again.

Well, if you could
conclusively prove she did it,

then a judge and a jury could
hear the prosecution evidence,

despite her being unfit to plead.

Except they can't convict her.

No. But the court is at least
acknowledging the facts,

which might be better for
Jimmy and Nicholas's family.

- And what happens to her?
- Well, she'd just get the supervision order.

Which is what she'd get
if it didn't got to court.

Right, so she causes
the death of two people.

All the pain those two
families have been through.

And she sees out her days in a care home.

Do you recognise him, Claire?

No, I don't think so. Sorry.

You don't remember hurting him?

No, I don't. I'm trying.

It was in the cellar of
Arlingham House, July 1976.

You went to find your husband.

- What?
- I don't know.

You remembered something?

Maybe I remember this boy...

Maybe. I don't know.

Do you, um, remember...

.. being unwell, after your
children were born, Claire?

Maybe. I don't know.

Do you remember that
your husband liked men?

Oh!

Was it to do with that?

You know what? I'm really
not happy with this.

We need to stop.

I'm so sorry if I hurt anyone.

If I could remember I'd
tell you, but I can't.

I'm sorry.

We can't thank you enough.

How is it I feel sorry for her?

Hi, Maureen.

Can I come in?

Hi.

So, what I wanted to tell you,
Grace, was that actually Dad...

.. Robert...

.. he very much wanted
to tell you about me.

In fact, from the moment he found out,

when I was about 18 months old,

he desperately wanted to
admit his mistake to you.

But my mother, she...

Well, she was scared she
would lose me, somehow.

So she told him that if
he ever did tell you...

.. he would never see me again.

So, he chose to live this terrible lie...

.. so he could be there
for you and for me.

And be the best father
he could to all of us.

But him not telling you...

.. well, that came from a
place of love and decency.

And I just hope that, some day...

.. you'll be able to forgive him for it.

Every time I turn a corner, I
meet someone from the old days.

Like a bloody school reunion.

And next week. How are you
feeling about the trial?

The next week's just a
bit of theatre, isn't it?

It's the last two months
that have really mattered.

Thinking time.

All I ever wanted...

.. was for my children
to be better than me.

The start I had, the things I was
taught, things I did... back then.

Everything I've ever achieved since,

beneath the ambition and
the money and the vanity,

was all really to buy you
your escape... from me.

What I was.

I'm so proud of you.

Both of you.

Of what you did for me and what you are.

All your visits, Mr Slater.
Your mother's a very lucky woman.

No. No, I'm the lucky one.

Me again.

Does she ever mention me?

She can hardly speak now, Dad.

She-She doesn't... She doesn't know me.

Or Matt.

Matt sees her, does he?

I mean, I know he already knows but...

I'd always love to see him.

Tell him again.

I'm so sorry.

How comes you always walk in when
Baz has got his shorts off, Miss?

Timing, Curtis.

Good timing.

Lads, move please.
