00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,160
*

3
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,160
*

4
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,960
Take him back for me, will you?
Yeah, sure.

5
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,160
I want to catch Alex.

6
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Are you away? Yeah,
the committee meets at eight.

7
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,960
I'll be back tomorrow. Are you OK?

8
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,960
Yes, fine.

9
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Drive carefully.

10
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,960
I love you.

11
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,960
He's got some heat in his near
foreleg.

12
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960
Nah, he was stepping out sweetly.

13
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,960
He's not feeling it. He could win
the Open with a decent jockey up.

14
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,960
Like you, you mean?

15
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Yeah. I qualified him.

16
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Alison's no blooming idea.

17
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Couldn't kick a donkey home.

18
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160
SMASHING GLASS

19
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,000
BANGING

20
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,960
Uh!

21
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,960
If you're watching...

22
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,960
If anyone saw her or...
or knows where she is...

23
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,960
CLICKING CAMERA SHUTTERS

24
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,960
Please, just call and tell us that
she's all right.

25
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Whoever's holding my wife,

26
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,960
please, just call.

27
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,640
PHONE RINGS

28
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Crocodile tears, ma'am?
Convinced me at the time.

29
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,960
What do you know about him?

30
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,960
Alex Keir, 45, runs a stable yard.

31
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,960
A spent drunk-driving charge a
couple of years back, apart from
that he's clean.

32
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,960
The wife?

33
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,640
Alison Keir, missing a couple
of days before the local boys
bought us in.

34
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,960
35. Otherwise unknown to us.

35
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,480
Oh, and her car's disappeared, too.

36
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,960
All right. Anything else?

37
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,640
Yeah, Potter's chasing up the
woman's medical background

38
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,960
to see if there's any psycho
problems.

39
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,960
That's worth a look. But it doesn't
strike me she's gone walkabout.

40
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,960
No, sir. I've got this nasty feeling

41
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,960
we're going to find her tied up
in a ditch somewhere.

42
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,960
Ever the optimist, Dixon.

43
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,800
Morning.
Morning.

44
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,960
Have you booked a ride?

45
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960
No, no, it would be cruelty to
animals if I sat on a horse.

46
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Detective Inspector Kersey. CID.

47
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,960
Penryn. Dave Penryn.

48
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,960
So, have you found her then?
Mrs Keir?

49
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,960
I take it you work here, do you,
Mr Penryn?

50
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Yup. Dogsbody.

51
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,960
I'm officially the gardener,
but I ride out.

52
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,960
School the chasers. Get them
shipshape.

53
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Race horses, are they?

54
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Some are, some aren't.
This will never make anything.

55
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Walking tin of dog food, he is.
Jumps like a crab.

56
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,960
So how long have you known
the Keirs?

57
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Since they first came down here.

58
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,960
The governor bought the place off
my father.

59
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,960
Ran it into the ground.
Are they good people to work for?

60
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,960
There's worse jobs. Don't get too
close to his back end. He cow kicks.

61
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Cheers.
Hold the doors, will you?

62
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Who's the... Who's the young lady?

63
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,320
Diana.
Is that the Keirs' daughter?

64
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,960
You might think so,
the way she goes on.

65
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,960
She's just a stable hand. Mucking
out, that sort of thing.

66
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Mrs Keir took her in a couple of
years back.

67
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,960
How do you mean took her in?

68
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960
She's one of them female horse nuts.

69
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,960
She started hanging about the place,
working voluntarily.

70
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,960
Spun some sob story
about her parents being dead.

71
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,960
So in the end,
Alison gave her a job.

72
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,960
Do you know, are there any problems
between them that you're aware of?

73
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,960
Who?
Mr and Mrs Keir.

74
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,960
I wouldn't know.

75
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,000
They don't move in my circles,
do they?

76
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,160
However,

77
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:37,960
married couple, middle aged, no
kids.

78
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,960
It speaks for itself, doesn't it?

79
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Why do they call it point-to-point
racing?

80
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,960
The circuit that the horses jump
around, from one point to another.
All amateur riders.

81
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,960
I see. So you spent that night
in a hotel?

82
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Yes, I gave your local chaps
the details.

83
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,960
How long have you had the stables?

84
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,000
Been here about eight years.

85
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640
We were up north.

86
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Alison adores horses. She lives and
breathes for them.

87
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960
(SOBS)

88
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,960
I'm sorry. I appreciate
this must be very difficult for you.

89
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Um... How did your wife seem when
you left her?

90
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,960
She was fine. She was looking
forward to the Hunt Open.

91
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,960
She was going to ride our horse
Greek Warrior in the race.

92
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,960
Has she ever gone missing before?
No, never.

93
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,320
She's not wandered off for a few
days or...?

94
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,960
Friends, relatives, she might have
spent time with. Absolutely not.

95
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,960
She would have told me if she was
planning a trip.

96
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,960
She wouldn't just go off without
telling.

97
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Oh, sorry. Is it all right if I work
down in the office now?

98
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,320
Yes, it's been checked.

99
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,960
I need a list of anyone, everyone
you can think of

100
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,960
who your wife might try and contact.

101
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Yes, I'll do that.

102
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,960
Oh, God, superintendent, what's
happened to her?!

103
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160
I don't know, Mr Keir.

104
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,320
She was so happy.
She was so happy here.

105
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,960
We'll do everything we can to find
her, Mr Keir. I promise you.

106
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,960
Help!

107
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,480
Help!

108
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,960
All right?
Anything down the stables?

109
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,960
Well, there's a chap, Penryn,
who's a stable hand.

110
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,960
He lives over in the cottage
at the back there.

111
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,960
He says he heard nothing that night.

112
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,960
He's definitely worth a closer look.
Yeah.

113
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,960
So what do you reckon then?
All signs it was a break-in.

114
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,960
Mrs Keir could have stumbled across
her intruder.

115
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,960
He's abducted her in her own car.
The burglar thought she knew him.

116
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,960
Yeah, it struck me that way, too.

117
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,960
Don't tell we're in agreement.

118
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,960
Don't worry, it won't last.

119
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,960
Him?

120
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,960
Hotel alibi. He could have got back
in the night and done it, but
no motive as yet.

121
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,960
He seems pretty cut up.
So it appears.

122
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,960
Oh, Christ!
What?

123
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,960
We stable hacks for people and hire
them out to other riders.

124
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,000
So there was money taken
the night Mrs Keir went missing?

125
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,960
Yup, about £80. They took the lot.

126
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480
You live at the house, do you,
Diana?

127
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,960
No, Dave lives up here. I rent
a place over Dulverton way.

128
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,960
You're not from round these parts,
are you?

129
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Pardon?
Your accent.

130
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,960
A touch of Yorkshire in there
somewhere?

131
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,960
I lived in the north for a bit,
yeah.

132
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,960
I thought so.

133
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,960
I'm from Leeds, myself.

134
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960
Well, just outside, actually.

135
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,960
How well did you know Mrs Keir?

136
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,160
For the past two, three years.

137
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,960
She's been like a mother to me.

138
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,960
And Mr Keir? I don't have
much dealings with him.

139
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,960
Why's that?

140
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,960
I just don't.

141
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,960
Where were you on Tuesday night?

142
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960
At home.

143
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,640
Ah, that's Alison. Mrs Keir with
Greek Warrior.

144
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,960
Beautiful horse.

145
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Oh, yeah. He's super.

146
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,960
Jumps like a stag.

147
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,960
Alison's dream was to win the Hunt
Open race on him.

148
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,960
You know horses?

149
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,960
A little. I used to ride quite
a lot.

150
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,160
All right.

151
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,320
Thank you...Miss Byrne.

152
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960
We may need to talk to you again.

153
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,960
Sure. Any time. I'm always here.

154
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,640
Just call if you want to book
a ride.

155
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,000
We've got some nice, gentle mares.
Oh, OK. Thanks.

156
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Left, right, left, right...

157
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,960
What kind of a feel did you get down
at the stables?

158
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,960
Well, strange, but hardly surprising
under the circumstances.

159
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,480
Visit them again and try and dig a
bit deeper if you can, Lucy.

160
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,960
Maybe book that ride.
Oh, yeah, that'll be good.

161
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,960
It'll have to be in your own time
though.

162
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,960
The budget's tight.

163
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,960
Great. Thanks.

164
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,960
My brother-in-law's in the Terriers.

165
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Army barmy, is he?
Nah.

166
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,960
It's more of a drinking club,
really. Boy scouts and booze.

167
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,480
Morning, sir.
Morning.

168
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,960
Our glorious dead.

169
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,960
Do you have a problem with that,
Potter?

170
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,960
No, sir, I was just -
Excuse me.

171
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,960
I'm looking for Superintendent
Wycliffe. Mr Keir, isn't it?

172
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,960
Yeah, is he here? I must see him.
This way.

173
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Superintendent.

174
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,960
Mr Keir. Have you brought
the list of names? No.

175
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,960
This came this morning.
It's demanding money for Alison.

176
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Yeah. Just put it down on the desk,
would you, please?

177
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,960
A maniac has kidnapped her.
They want money.

178
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,960
He's threatening to kill her.

179
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,000
Just take it easy.
Typewritten.

180
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,320
Good English, sir.

181
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,960
It's demanding £50,000 to be put in
a numbered bank account
within three days.

182
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,480
It's an odd place to want ransom
money lodged, isn't it?

183
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,000
Check the account with the bank.
Has anyone else touched that letter?

184
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,960
This, no, no, only me. I brought it
straight here.

185
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,960
The envelope, please.
Yeah, I've got that here.

186
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Um, look. I can't get that sort of
money, no way can I get that money.

187
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,960
Let's not panic. Sit down, please.

188
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,320
Panic?! My wife's life is being
threatened, how would you feel?

189
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,960
Yes, yes. I understand.
Can the police put the money up?

190
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,960
I doubt we could do that. You said
you would do everything to help.

191
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,960
We are doing everything.

192
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,960
It's just that such things are not
in our hands, Mr Keir.

193
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,960
But I'll look into it.
I promise you.

194
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,960
God, he said he's going to kill her.
What can I do?

195
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,960
Please, you've just got to help me.

196
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,960
What are you doing?

197
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,960
Please, don't do this.

198
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,960
Let me go. I won't tell anyone it
was you.

199
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,960
Please.

200
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,960
Is he difficult to hold?
The Warrior?

201
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Yeah, full of himself at the moment.

202
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,640
When's this big race?

203
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,960
The Hunt Open? It's next Saturday.

204
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,960
So who'll be riding Mrs Keir's
horse?

205
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,000
Well, Alison, I hope...
if she's back.

206
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,960
Dave Penryn will want the leg up
otherwise...

207
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,480
if Mr Keir decides to run the
Warrior.

208
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Is there big money involved?
Only small race prizes.

209
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,960
And the betting?
The bookies are there, yeah.

210
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Sometimes big money's laid on.
Dave likes a good gamble.

211
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,960
Oh, does he?
Mainly it's the kudos.

212
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,960
Big rivalry. The Open's the top race
of everybody's season.

213
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,960
I get it, so Dave wants to
ride so he can grab the glory.

214
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,960
Oh, yeah. He's always looking
for it.

215
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,320
A big opinion of himself, Dave has.

216
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Did Alison ever talk to you about
her personal life?

217
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,960
Sometimes.

218
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,960
Do you think her and her husband
were happy with each other?

219
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960
On and off.
Why's that?

220
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Did she tell you something?

221
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,960
Diana.

222
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,960
Alison got jealous sometimes.

223
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,960
Oh, he played around a bit then,
did he, Mr Keir?

224
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,960
Well, he's not what he seems,
put it that way.

225
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,480
There's a woman, Mrs Tregelles,

226
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Major Tregelles's wife.

227
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,960
She's on the hunt committee
with Mr Keir.

228
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,960
And Mr Keir and she have
a relationship, you mean?

229
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Well, there's lots of gossip, you
know how it is.

230
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,960
The Tregelleses have a horse,
Paladin -

231
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,960
the only thing that will beat
Warrior in the Open.

232
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,960
So the Tregelleses and the Keirs
are big rivals?

233
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,960
Major Tregelles is.
He's the win-at-all-costs sort.

234
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,960
You must try to keep a grip
on yourself.

235
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,960
Yes.
It'll soon be over.

236
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,480
One way or the other.

237
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,960
Good morning.
Morning, Mrs Tregelles.

238
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,800
How's Paladin? He's fit
and ready to run his heart out.

239
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,000
You won't run Greek Warrior in the
Open.

240
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,960
No, though maybe I should.

241
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Morning, Mrs Tregelles.

242
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,960
I must get on. Alex, I hope you get
some good news soon.

243
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Yes, and thanks for everything.

244
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,160
This came.

245
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,960
So we do nothing?

246
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Can you not raise the issue
with the chief constable?
I'd appreciate that.

247
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,960
Yes, I would.

248
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Thank you.

249
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,960
Right, Doug.

250
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,160
Doug!

251
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,800
I'm sorry, sir. Any joy with the
money?

252
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,000
The wheels at HQ grind slowly.
Yes, Potter.

253
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Forensic report on the ransom note
and the envelope.

254
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,960
No fingerprints or indentations.

255
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,960
The envelope was posted in Truro.

256
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,960
They're running checks on the
typewriter format,

257
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,960
it was electronic,
and a DNA check on the glue.

258
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,800
There was a lickable type of
envelope seal.

259
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,960
Ha! Well, keep me posted.
Yes, sir.

260
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,960
Sorry, sir.

261
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,320
Any thoughts, Doug?

262
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,960
Not worth wasting any breath over,
sir.

263
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Supposing it was a burglary.
Yeah.

264
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,960
Someone abducts her, panics,

265
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,960
and then decides to go the whole hog
and sends a ransom note.

266
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:45,480
Yes, it's possible but the bank
account that he wants the money put
into was opened a year ago,

267
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,960
with a false ID,
under the name of Baker.

268
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,640
And the address given doesn't trace.

269
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,480
There's been some planning put
into this.

270
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,960
Yes, but it's very odd, though.

271
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,960
Any joy down at the stables?

272
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,960
I spoke to Diana Byrne,
the stable secretary.

273
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,960
She mentioned a Major
and Mrs Tregelles.

274
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,480
She gave the impression that
Alex Keir may have been playing
around with Mrs Tregelles.

275
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,960
It might be tittle-tattle.
We've got little else to go on.

276
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,320
There's also something about this
big race coming up.

277
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,480
The Tregelleses and the Keirs

278
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,960
both have horses
running against each other.

279
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,320
You're not suggesting that someone's
abducted Alison to stop her
riding a horse.

280
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,960
Who can say, sir? I do know passions
run deep in the horse world.

281
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,160
Have you got an address for these
Tregelles people?

282
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Yes. You'd better get down there
with Doug. Have a chat with them.

283
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Sir.

284
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,480
PHONE RINGS

285
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,960
How was the horse ride?

286
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,960
Oh, it was great. Now I know why
the Queen rides side-saddle.

287
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,960
Er, yes, yes. Put him on.

288
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,960
Mr Keir, Superintendent Wycliffe.

289
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,960
No, no, no.
Just keep the letter there.

290
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,960
Yeah, and don't let anybody else
touch it.

291
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,320
Now, remember,
Paladin rushes his fences,

292
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960
so find your stride.

293
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,480
Go on.

294
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,960
Gregory, our son.

295
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,960
He'll ride Paladin in the Open.

296
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960
About Mr Keir.

297
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,320
Oh, yes. Well, as I said,

298
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,960
we've been close friends for,
oh, five years or so.

299
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,960
When did you last see him?
Alex?

300
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,960
This morning, up at the stables.
And before that?

301
00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Oh, I think it was last Monday I was
up there.

302
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Why was that?
Hunt business.

303
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,640
Is that the only basis
for your close relationship?

304
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Who have you been talking to?
I'm sorry?

305
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,960
Some people around these parts have
little to do with their lives but
gossip, inspector.

306
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,960
Some of them have, in the past, seen
fit to repeat their innuendoes in my
husband's presence.

307
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960
Mrs Tregelles, I can assure you -
Alex Keir and I are friends!

308
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:26,960
Good friends, nothing more,

309
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,160
despite his wife's ridiculous
accusations

310
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,960
and no doubt what you have heard
from other people's wagging tongues.

311
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,640
Too close in!

312
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,960
And get hold of him!

313
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,960
Loser.

314
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Is that a Guard's tie, sir?

315
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,960
Yes.

316
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,800
I thought so. I was 2 Para, myself,
sir.

317
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,960
Ah! The Danglers, eh.

318
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,160
Falklands?

319
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Yes, sir. My swan song.

320
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,960
A good few others, too.

321
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,160
Yes, sir.

322
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,960
Is this about the Keir woman?

323
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,960
Yes, we've been given to believe

324
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,160
that you and the Keirs have a bit of
a healthy rivalry.

325
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Oh.
With the horses, sir.

326
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,160
Well, we both have animals running
in the Hunt Open race, yeah.

327
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,960
So best man wins sort of thing,
is it, sir?

328
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,960
No, it's best horse.
Ha, ha, ha...

329
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,960
No, if ours wins the Open race
he'll go to stud.

330
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,960
It'll put a bit of value on the
horse winnings. Oh, yes. Plenty.

331
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,960
No, we'll sell Paladin
on for breeding.

332
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,160
We've got an expensive bloodline.

333
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,960
Actually, it was Mr Keir I wanted to
talk to you about, sir.

334
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,320
I don't know the man.
I thought you and your wife -

335
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,960
My wife is better acquainted
with Mr Keir.

336
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,800
There's a mutual passion. They ride
with each other.

337
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,800
And that's all I know or want to
know about Alex Keir.

338
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,960
So I'm sorry, I can't help you.

339
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,960
Over here!

340
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,320
Useless!

341
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,960
When did this second letter arrive?

342
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:10,960
In this morning's post.

343
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960
I phoned your office straightaway.

344
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,640
I'd like to go through with you
what the letter says.

345
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,160
It's obvious, isn't it?

346
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,960
This is a nightmare I'm going
through, can't you understand that?

347
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,320
Yes, I can, sir.

348
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,960
If it was my wife, I'd feel just as
you do, but -

349
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,480
He's going to kill her if we don't
get the money.

350
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,960
Yes.

351
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,960
I've spoken to my superiors
about that.

352
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,960
And?

353
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,960
We are...

354
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,320
unable to provide the ransom money.
I'm sorry.

355
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,960
Well, why?
You know I can't raise it.

356
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,960
The place is mortgaged to the hilt.

357
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,960
Do you hold any insurance cover
on Mrs Keir?

358
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,960
No, I mean, why do you ask?

359
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,960
Well, in the circumstances you might
have been able to negotiate for the
insurers to put the money up.

360
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,960
Oh, because she's going to die
anyway, is that what you mean?

361
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,960
Mr Keir...

362
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,960
can we talk about the letter,
please?

363
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,960
Now...

364
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000
here, at the end of the letter,
it says...

365
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,960
"Don't ride the horse."

366
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,800
What does that mean to you?

367
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,960
Why would anyone demand that?

368
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,960
I don't know.

369
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Is this about a race?

370
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Who wouldn't want you to run
the horse?

371
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,960
Mr Keir, please. This may be the key
to what's happening here.

372
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,960
I've no idea. It's plain as day.

373
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,160
We're dealing with some sort of
maniac.

374
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Perhaps. And you're still
standing here asking questions

375
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,960
when you could at least be out
searching for Alison!

376
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,960
Mr Keir,

377
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,960
Cornwall is a very big place. It's
not possible.

378
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,960
At the moment, we have no indication
at all

379
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,320
where your wife might be being held.

380
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,640
So we just sit and wait...until
she turns up dead, is that it?

381
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,960
It's a nasty business.

382
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,960
Are we looking at accidental death?

383
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,960
Possibly.

384
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,960
She stinks of booze.

385
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,960
Really?

386
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,960
Any idea when she died?

387
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,960
The dashboard clock has stopped
at 1.26am.

388
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,960
But the loss of heat from the body
doesn't seem to fit.

389
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,960
So she wasn't necessarily killed by
the crash?

390
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,960
Um...

391
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,960
What's happened?
It's all right. Let him go.

392
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,960
What's happened?
I'm sorry, Mr Keir.

393
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,000
I'm sorry, but apparently your wife's
been involved in some kind
of accident.

394
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,960
Oh, my God!

395
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,960
Oh, my God.
You said that you'd do EVERYTHING!

396
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,960
You did NOTHING!

397
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,960
If you'd have got the money
she would have been all right!

398
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,960
(SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY)

399
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,960
Why didn't you tell me, Simon?
The job just came up.

400
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,640
Look, the local reporter's ill.

401
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,480
Reporting dog shows and garden
parties is one thing.

402
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,960
I can't turn down the opportunity.
I can't do it.

403
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,960
This could seriously compromise
my situation.

404
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,480
No, it won't. I promise you,
it won't.

405
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,960
White, no sugar, ma'am.

406
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,960
Thank you.

407
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,960
Can we help you, sir?

408
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,960
No.

409
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,960
Flash customer.
Spot the designer labels, did you?

410
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,000
So that's Simon.

411
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,960
Ah, lovers' tiff, eh?

412
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,960
Yeah, the course of true love never
runs smooth, sarge.

413
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,320
How would you know, Potter?

414
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,960
Two things don't fit. No attempt
to wait for the ransom money.

415
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,960
"Don't ride the horse".

416
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,480
Why?

417
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,960
Well, what if Alison Keir staged
her own disappearance?

418
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,960
A development, sir. Forensics have
gone over Mrs Keir's car.

419
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,960
Apparently the accelerator cable has
been jammed wide open.

420
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,160
Full throttle. Deliberately.

421
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,480
She wasn't driving the car.
IT was driving HER.

422
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,960
They also found this.

423
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,960
An address of some sort
of holiday cottage.

424
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,960
Where did they find this?
On the back of the seat in the car.

425
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,960
Interesting little clue, eh?

426
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,480
Check it out, Andy.
Yes, ma'am.

427
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,960
It may be a clue.
It maybe a message.

428
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,960
A message?
Mmm.

429
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Whoever's behind this is clouding
the issue right, left and centre.

430
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,320
It's something to do with them
stables. Let's turn 'em over.

431
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,960
All right, Doug. Get a warrant.

432
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Come on. Now we're looking at murder,
let's dig.

433
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,960
Are you going to run him
in the Open, boss? Yes.

434
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,960
Are you sure he's fit, Mr Keir?
Oh, yes.

435
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,960
Well, what about the warning
in the ransom note?

436
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,960
We run.
It's what Alison would have wanted.

437
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960
We'll do it. For her. We'll do it.

438
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,480
Nobody's going to stop me.

439
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,960
Can I ride?

440
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,960
Oh, no. I'll be riding him.

441
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:03,960
That's ridiculous.

442
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,960
No way.
I've ridden in the final before.

443
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,160
I have to do this.
You're in no state, boss.

444
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960
It's Alison's horse. Nobody else
rides him, understand?

445
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,960
The Warrior needs strong handling.

446
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,960
Don't you do this to me!
I qualified him! It's my right!

447
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,160
Eight years I've mucked out
in this place.

448
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,320
And I still get treated like dirt!

449
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,960
It would be really great if you
could help us, sir.

450
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,960
I appreciate it's a tragic...

451
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,320
Yes, fine, yeah.
Just take what you want.

452
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,960
Paperwork, books, that sort of
thing. Is that OK? Yes, certainly.

453
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,960
Just take it, yeah.
OK, thanks.

454
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Start over there.

455
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,960
Inspector?
Yeah.

456
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,960
I think there's something I should
tell you.

457
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,480
Fire away.

458
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,960
When Superintendent Wycliffe asked
me about life insurance cover

459
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,960
on my wife I told him
there was none.

460
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,320
Yeah.

461
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,480
Well, in conversation with my
solicitor, after I'd heard about
Alison being found,

462
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,960
he mentioned something to me which
I hadn't realised.

463
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,960
Apparently, our mortgages include a
mortgage protection scheme.

464
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,000
Yes, so what does that mean,
exactly, then?

465
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:35,960
It seems that on the demise of
either myself or my wife the
mortgage outstanding is cleared.

466
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,960
So how much is it worth to you,
then?

467
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,960
Well, probably upwards of something
like...

468
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,960
£200,000.

469
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,160
And you say you were unaware of this
benefit, yes?

470
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,960
Yes! I swear to you.

471
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,640
Alison handled that side of things.
I had no idea.

472
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,960
I had no idea at all.

473
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,960
It does put a different
complexion on things, sir.

474
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,960
Well, yes. I suppose it does, yes.

475
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,960
Will you excuse me, please?

476
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,960
Sir...

477
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,960
Take it.

478
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,320
Definitely not your straightforward
road crash, Charles.

479
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,960
Yeah, we were aware of that.

480
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,960
The deceased has abrasions
to both wrists,

481
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,640
consistent with being tied up,

482
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,960
glue fibres under the finger nails

483
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,960
and some interesting contusions
in the mouth area.

484
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,960
Interesting? They're consistent with
the introduction of a foreign object
into the mouth -

485
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,000
a gag or a weapon of some sort.

486
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,960
But more interesting yet,

487
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,800
we've had the vital organs
and fluid report back.

488
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,960
How's your toxicology?
Try me.

489
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,160
You know the old Cornish navy
tradition of the press gangs,

490
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,960
how they'd pay an innkeeper to put
knock-out drops in a drink?

491
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,000
In no time at all he'd be three
sheets to the wind

492
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
then the press gangs would whisk him
away to a life on the ocean wave.

493
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,800
Knock-out?
Chloral hydrate.

494
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,960
It's a highly soluble liquid -

495
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,960
odourless, matched with alcohol in
sufficient quantities

496
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,960
a lethal, little cocktail.

497
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,960
She was given that?

498
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,960
Brain swollen. Lungs congested.

499
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
According to the report,

500
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,960
she was swimming in the stuff.

501
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,800
Or should I say drowning?

502
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,000
So, she was dead
before the car crash?

503
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,960
Aye, if the tree hadn't got her, the
poison most certainly would have.

504
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,960
And the contusions to the dead
woman's mouth,

505
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,960
could they be caused by a bottle?

506
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,960
In other words,

507
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,960
could she have been force-fed
this mixture?

508
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,160
Hmm, it's possible.

509
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,960
It's a bizarre way to kill someone.

510
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,960
Keir's typewriter had a ribbon
cassette in it, like this one.

511
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,960
Now, if I pull that out

512
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,960
you can see each letter has been
punched out of the tape
by the keystroke.

513
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,960
It reads like a book.

514
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,640
What we have here...

515
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,960
is a photocopy of the ribbon in
Keir's machine.

516
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,960
I've blown it up two-fold,

517
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,960
cut it into line-length strips.

518
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,960
Clear as day.

519
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,960
The ransom notes were definitely
written on Mr Keir's typewriter.

520
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,800
Thank you.

521
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,960
"..fences to go...

522
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,800
There's a faller...

523
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,960
CHEERING

524
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,800
First, number 12, second,
number 7...

525
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,640
third, number 2.

526
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,160
First, number 12..."

527
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960
Thank you.

528
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,960
"And now, ladies and gentlemen,
it's time..."

529
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,640
David, where the hell have you been?

530
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,960
Now, remember, hold Paladin up till
the last two furlongs.

531
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,960
Then, kick for home.

532
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:18,960
Is David Penryn here?

533
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,960
No, they took Greek Warrior
to the point-to-point.

534
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,960
I'm heading down there now.
You say, they?

535
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,960
Him and Mr Keir.
Point-to-point?

536
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,960
Yes. Would you get in
and show us how to get there?

537
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,960
OK.

538
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,960
What are we looking for, sir?

539
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:38,960
Watch out!

540
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960
SCREECHING BRAKES

541
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Are you all right?

542
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,800
Yeah.

543
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,960
"In the parade ring, the jockeys
are now mounting their horses...

544
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,960
for the final of this year's South
West Cornwall Hunt Open..."

545
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,000
Are we expecting trouble
in this race?

546
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,960
I'm not sure.

547
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,960
We need to talk to David Penryn,
though.

548
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,960
He's over there.

549
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,640
So are the Tregelleses.
Have you spoken to him?

550
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,960
No, but I wouldn't rule Major
Tregelles out.

551
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,640
There's obviously no love lost
between him and Alex Keir.

552
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,960
Somebody's been settling old scores,
but who or what...I don't know.

553
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,960
So, who last booked the cottage?

554
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,320
A family - Mr and Mrs Baker. They
took it for the whole of this month.

555
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,960
Baker, did you say?
Yes, they paid by cheque.

556
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,960
So did you see them down here much?
No, no.

557
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Our company's based in Camborne.

558
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,960
They picked up the key themselves...
from here.

559
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,960
Not very good security, madam.

560
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,960
We find it quite a good system,
actually.

561
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,960
It saves me running all over
Cornwall on changeover days.

562
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,160
"The runners are on their way up
to the start...

563
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,960
for the final...

564
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,960
Greek Warrior, 4/1, second
favourite,

565
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960
was an impressive winner last time
round in the qualifiers..."

566
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,960
Gregory Tregelles on Paladin

567
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,000
will be attempting to bring the
trophy home to his father's stables

568
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,960
for a third time."

569
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,960
Will you be much longer?

570
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,960
"They're under starter's orders.
They're off."

571
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,960
"As they start the second circuit.
Greek Warrior on the outside..."

572
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,000
Someone's been mixing their drinks.

573
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,960
It's got Keir's name in it.

574
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,960
Wasn't it blue fibres they found
underneath her fingernails at
the post mortem?

575
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:48,960
Yup.

576
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,320
"In the final turn towards home,
it's Paladin by two lengths..."

577
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,960
MOBILE PHONE RINGS

578
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,160
Yeah.

579
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,800
"Greek Warrior now in the lead..."

580
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,960
Cheers, Lucy.

581
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,960
(WHISPERS)

582
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,480
Keir's coat?

583
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,800
What's he playing at?

584
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,960
Warrior!
Are you all right?

585
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,960
I'm fine, yeah.

586
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,960
"It's Paladin finishing strongly..."

587
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,960
Mr Keir!

588
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,960
Ivy Cottage, Mr Keir, is a holiday
let 40 miles north of Dulverton.

589
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,320
You booked it in the name of Baker,
didn't you?

590
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,960
I've never heard of the place.

591
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,960
No, your coat was found there.
I've told you I lost that coat.

592
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,960
It was stolen from my car.
Did you report it?

593
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,960
No, it was an old thing. What was
the point?

594
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,800
The police never find anything.
Well, we have now,

595
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,960
in the cellar
where your wife was held.

596
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,960
I'll put it to you again, Mr Keir.

597
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,960
Did you kidnap Alison Keir and keep
her in that cellar?

598
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,960
No!
Well, somebody did!

599
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,960
You typed the ransom letters on your
typewriter

600
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,000
and you posted them to yourself,
didn't you?

601
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,160
No, this is ridiculous.
You rigged the death of your wife

602
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,960
to make it look like a car crash,
didn't you?!

603
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,960
I loved Alison. I couldn't have
harmed her, not in a million years.

604
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,960
Somebody killed Alison and then they
tried to kill me in the race.

605
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,960
My stirrup leather had been cut
through. I'd do that myself,
is it what you think?!

606
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,960
I think we should stop here.

607
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,000
Take a break.

608
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Interview suspended -

609
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,960
20:02.

610
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,960
What's happening, sir?
Get in the car, Doug. Let's go.

611
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,960
The car crash, Doug, why was Alison
Keir killed in that way?

612
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,480
I don't know, sir. It was a bit odd
though, wasn't it?

613
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,960
Remember, Alex Keir had a spent
conviction for drunk-driving
eight years ago?

614
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,960
Yeah. I got a collator
up north to look up his card.

615
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,960
Apparently, he and Alison Keir were
involved in a crash,

616
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,960
two people in the other car were
killed - Mr and Mrs Sykes.

617
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,960
Keir got off death by dangerous
driving

618
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:41,320
on the grounds that...
Yeah,

619
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,960
that he was too drunk to be
deliberately dangerous.

620
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,960
The usual loophole.
Yeah.

621
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,480
But there was a third passenger
in Mr and Mrs Sykes car,

622
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,960
their daughter, Angela. She survived.
And?

623
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,960
Well, she would have been 14
at the time.

624
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,960
22 now.

625
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:01,800
A young woman.

626
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,800
Go easy on him. He had a hard race
yesterday.

627
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,160
Angela!

628
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:37,960
Hey, what's going on?

629
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,960
Where's that track go?

630
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,960
Over to Dulverton.

631
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,160
There she is.

632
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:25,960
Angela Sykes.

633
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,960
You are Angela Sykes, aren't you?

634
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,960
My name is Diana Byrne.

635
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,960
Angela, we have your real passport.

636
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,960
My name is Diana Byrne.

637
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:45,960
You kidnapped Alison Keir,
didn't you?

638
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,960
Typed the letters,
stole Mr Keir's coat.

639
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,960
Where did you first get involved
with horses?

640
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,960
Diana?

641
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,960
I have a daughter.

642
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,960
She's nearly your age.

643
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,160
She was horse mad when
she was a kid.

644
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,960
Was it the same with you?

645
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,960
Yes.

646
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:29,960
You were very close to your parents.

647
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,960
How old were you?

648
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:39,960
14.

649
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,960
We ran off the road.

650
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,800
Go on.

651
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,800
And...

652
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,960
..my mother died in my arms.

653
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,960
And he, Keir,

654
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,960
he lied.

655
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,960
He stood in front of the jury
and he lied.

656
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,960
And they let him go.

657
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,960
Yes, I know.

658
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,960
Him and Alison,
they had their lives.

659
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,960
Everybody forgot about me.

660
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,320
I had nothing.

661
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:34,960
And that hurt.

662
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,960
I swore then,

663
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:40,960
I swore they wouldn't get away
with it.

664
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,960
And so you killed Alison Keir,
didn't you, Angela?

665
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,800
And then you tried
to kill her husband,

666
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,640
by cutting the stirrup straps,
that's right, isn't it?

667
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,960
Yes.

668
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,960
It was here, inside,

669
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:07,960
all the time.

670
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,960
It never went away.

671
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,000
I HATED them.

672
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,960
Greek Warrior.

673
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,640
I'm sorry?

674
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,960
You know, the Trojan horse.

675
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:24,160
Oh, yeah.

676
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,960
They took it in.

677
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,960
They didn't know.

678
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,960
Inside, just waiting
to destroy them,

679
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,000
like they did to me.

680
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,960
Alison deserved to die.

681
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,480
And he deserved to know what's it
like when the person you love

682
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,480
more than anything else in the
world...

683
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,960
..is taken away from you.

684
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,320
Looking at her, you just wouldn't
think she was capable.

685
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:12,960
Everybody's capable, Lucy.

686
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,960
That's rule number one.

687
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,960
Carrying round a grudge that deep
for eight years.

688
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,960
You see somebody that close killed in
front of your eyes you don't forget.

689
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,960
Believe me.
How's that, Doug?

690
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,960
Oh, I...

691
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,960
..I had a mate in the Paras,

692
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,320
Ian. He got totally...

693
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,960
..malleted in the Falkland Islands.
And he didn't stand a hope in hell.

694
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,960
And we just stood there...

695
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,960
watched him being butchered.

696
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,480
That's when I jacked in the army,
joined you lot.

697
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,960
But there's all the hullabaloo and
the band...

698
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,640
They didn't bang a triangle

699
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,960
for the boys that came back in boxes,
did they?

700
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:19,640
It's funny. It's 13 years ago...

701
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,640
..you still rage about it inside.

702
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:23,960
It's funny, isn't it?

703
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,320
Excuse me.
Simon.

704
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,160
Right, I'll see you back
at the base.

705
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,960
Simon.

706
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,800
OK, Doug. I'll be in the yard.

707
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,960

708
