1
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,980
Think you are, don't you?

2
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,380
That jump is like a girl's, isn't it?

3
00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:09,479
Gone, isn't it?

4
00:02:10,820 --> 00:02:11,820
Isn't it?

5
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:27,010
Yeah, yeah.

6
00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:30,170
Can you hold on, please?

7
00:03:31,350 --> 00:03:32,590
A child's gone missing.

8
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:34,430
How old? Five.

9
00:03:35,170 --> 00:03:36,770
Okay, put it through to my office.

10
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:39,250
Oh, and get hold of Mr. Burden. He's not
in.

11
00:03:40,410 --> 00:03:41,410
Should be.

12
00:03:41,690 --> 00:03:43,770
Well, phone Wexford. He's off today.

13
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:49,250
Look, anything like this and he wants to
know straight away.

14
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:51,010
He doesn't want another Stella River.

15
00:03:51,290 --> 00:03:53,490
So, Bravo 2-4, how do you hear me? Over.

16
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,500
Nine in the bed and the little one said,
roll over.

17
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:13,540
There were eight in the bed and the
little one said, roll over.

18
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:17,000
I wish they could see you at the
station. They'd pension you off. Well,

19
00:04:17,100 --> 00:04:18,100
they could, wouldn't they?

20
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:20,279
We'd just go out and play all the time,
wouldn't we?

21
00:04:23,380 --> 00:04:25,540
Don't shake him about. He'll be sick.

22
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:27,820
He likes it.

23
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,280
Dad, he's just had his tea.

24
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Get the phone, love.

25
00:04:34,060 --> 00:04:37,440
You wouldn't thank me if you dropped it
over the carpet, would you? Your dad

26
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,740
didn't think. Wow.

27
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,420
I was only playing with the little
fella. Reg, he's had enough.

28
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,680
He enjoys it. Reg, leave it.

29
00:04:45,540 --> 00:04:46,540
Dad, it's work.

30
00:04:47,460 --> 00:04:48,460
Yes?

31
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,480
Afternoon.

32
00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:52,700
Evening, sir.

33
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:54,620
Any messages for me?

34
00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:58,620
We tried to call you home, sir. What do
you mean? Why there?

35
00:04:58,860 --> 00:05:03,180
We couldn't raise you in the car, sir.
At what time? Oh, it must have been...

36
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:04,180
What's happened?

37
00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:07,920
A child's been reported missing from
Fontaine Road.

38
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:11,440
When? Three hours ago.

39
00:05:11,660 --> 00:05:13,420
Well, why the hell didn't you keep
trying my car?

40
00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:16,340
We got Mr Wexford, sir. He's down there
now.

41
00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:18,020
Naturally.

42
00:05:20,980 --> 00:05:21,980
Is there money, sir?

43
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,200
I'll go out and pick a shoe.

44
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:25,300
I shan't help at all if you go on, shall
I?

45
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Look, I only said to don't say anything.

46
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,780
We need all the help we can get.

47
00:05:29,310 --> 00:05:31,890
He mentioned it. Shoot me a loud hailer
from one of the patrolmen.

48
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:33,110
Yes, sir.

49
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:34,770
I apologise for being late, sir.

50
00:05:34,990 --> 00:05:36,570
They called you in the car. Where were
you?

51
00:05:37,010 --> 00:05:39,850
I was down a rivet thing all over again.
That's right.

52
00:05:40,930 --> 00:05:42,790
He's five years old, I believe, sir.

53
00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:44,470
What?

54
00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:46,190
Yes, John Lawrence.

55
00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:47,910
Nice town, Chiltern Avenue, sir.

56
00:05:48,170 --> 00:05:50,210
Yes, and take Loring with you, sir.

57
00:05:51,910 --> 00:05:53,130
I've spoken to the mother yet?

58
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:54,590
No, you do that.

59
00:05:54,750 --> 00:05:55,990
WPC Johnson's with her.

60
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:57,329
Hail her, sir.

61
00:05:57,330 --> 00:05:58,330
Oh.

62
00:05:58,530 --> 00:05:59,530
Thank you.

63
00:05:59,890 --> 00:06:03,390
When she called the station, she said
that he was not paying in the street.

64
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:07,550
She looked out every half hour just to
check on him. Every half hour? What kind

65
00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:08,550
of checking is that?

66
00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:10,010
All right, mate.

67
00:06:10,570 --> 00:06:11,710
Don't let Sid in, Justin.

68
00:06:13,030 --> 00:06:14,030
Uh-huh.

69
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:16,510
Oh, OK.

70
00:06:18,030 --> 00:06:19,770
Well, shall I set the oven for midnight
or something?

71
00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:21,830
Oh, no, don't bother.

72
00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:23,290
Is the kids giving you any problems?

73
00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:24,590
No, of course not.

74
00:06:25,670 --> 00:06:27,630
Oh, hold on. I think Pat wants a word.

75
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,660
I can't, Grace. I'm busy. Sorry.

76
00:06:31,060 --> 00:06:32,060
Dad?

77
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,600
He's gone.

78
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,940
I thought he was rushing.

79
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,760
Naturally. The boy is five years old.

80
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:44,380
His name is John Lawrence.

81
00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:48,700
He's been missing since 4, 4.30 this
afternoon.

82
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:51,020
He has blonde hair.

83
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,600
He's wearing a blue top and dark, short
trousers.

84
00:06:56,140 --> 00:06:58,270
Please remember to look... Everywhere.

85
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:01,390
Just imagine that you're looking for
your own child.

86
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:16,110
Oh, it's you.

87
00:07:16,490 --> 00:07:17,910
Yeah? Who were you expecting?

88
00:07:18,470 --> 00:07:19,470
A woman, I suppose.

89
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:22,690
Where's the boy's mother?

90
00:07:22,890 --> 00:07:24,450
She's upstairs with Dr. Crocker.

91
00:07:26,050 --> 00:07:27,050
Tidy, isn't it?

92
00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:32,350
I don't think that's everything in life,
do you?

93
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,440
She divorced?

94
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,080
Yes. Why?

95
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,140
Just looks as though she is.

96
00:08:28,540 --> 00:08:29,540
Is that you, Mike?

97
00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:31,380
How is she?

98
00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:33,480
As you'd expect in the circumstances.

99
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,580
I've given her something to calm her
down.

100
00:08:36,220 --> 00:08:38,340
But I don't want to leave them lying
about.

101
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,460
We'll need to get a neighbour or someone
to sit with her.

102
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:44,660
Why? Is she an unstable sort?

103
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,080
Has something happened?

104
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:51,240
I heard you talking. I thought... I'm
sorry.

105
00:08:51,610 --> 00:08:53,710
Shall I come and sit with you, Gemma? Is
there some news?

106
00:08:55,490 --> 00:08:57,350
When I heard you talking, I thought
you'd found him.

107
00:08:57,630 --> 00:08:59,010
I'm sure we will, Mrs Lawrence.

108
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:00,310
Are you?

109
00:09:01,330 --> 00:09:03,770
Really? This is Inspector Burden.

110
00:09:04,530 --> 00:09:07,170
We're drafting in extra police officers
as fast as we can.

111
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:08,670
Thank you.

112
00:09:09,570 --> 00:09:11,250
He's probably just wandered off
somewhere.

113
00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:13,110
It's the most likely explanation.

114
00:09:13,570 --> 00:09:14,610
Yes, that's what I thought.

115
00:09:17,130 --> 00:09:18,130
Do you think that?

116
00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:20,230
I'm sure that's it.

117
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,200
I didn't see him that clear, but I
mentioned it to Mrs.

118
00:09:23,420 --> 00:09:26,860
Rushworth. I mean, what little fella is
this? You don't know what to think, do

119
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:27,860
you?

120
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:30,980
Get Mr. Wexford up here, quick.

121
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:57,300
I can do to help.

122
00:09:57,380 --> 00:09:59,860
I mean, Gem's a friend. Oh, she's ever
so nice.

123
00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:01,180
Tell me where you saw this man.

124
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,260
I knew I should have put my shoes on.

125
00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:06,420
I mean, the last thing you want is some
geezer messing about with your kids.

126
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,860
That's why I told Arlene Rushford. I
mean, she's got her Andrew. He's always

127
00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:13,540
up here. I mentioned it to her last week
because I saw him again. You saw him

128
00:10:13,540 --> 00:10:14,540
again? Yeah.

129
00:10:14,740 --> 00:10:16,880
Where? Over there. Same place as before.

130
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,240
I'd been up Sainsbury's. Were the
children here? Yeah. Well, that's why I

131
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,159
was worried.

132
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,180
Well, what did he look like?

133
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:23,780
Well, he was little, you know, sort of
thin.

134
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,760
You saw me looking. I thought, yes,
Gimpy, you can... Eh?

135
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,200
Well, he had a limp.

136
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:31,180
I didn't like the look of him. You know
how you get a feeling about somebody.

137
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:32,380
Yes.

138
00:10:32,420 --> 00:10:33,420
Yes, I do.

139
00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:35,680
Did you notice what he was wearing?

140
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:37,100
He had a hoodie coat.

141
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,720
I knew he had a hood because he pulled
it up as he walked along the track.

142
00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:41,040
It leads to Mill Lane.

143
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:42,740
Mill Lane?

144
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,440
You said you looked outside every half
hour to check on your son, Mrs Lawrence.

145
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:48,920
You think I was being lazy?

146
00:10:49,340 --> 00:10:50,820
No. We understand.

147
00:10:54,090 --> 00:10:55,390
I was upstairs reading.

148
00:10:57,490 --> 00:10:59,730
I mean, you can see practically the
whole of the street.

149
00:11:03,090 --> 00:11:06,950
A friend of mine had sent me a proof
copy of her book. She wanted my opinion.

150
00:11:08,290 --> 00:11:11,850
You see, I didn't realise there was
another boy.

151
00:11:15,090 --> 00:11:18,010
It was when I went to the swings to call
him.

152
00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:21,090
There was a little boy.

153
00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:26,120
Blue sweater, fair hair.

154
00:11:27,940 --> 00:11:30,440
And then he looked around and it wasn't
John.

155
00:11:51,150 --> 00:11:53,850
When Mrs. Mitchell told you that she'd
seen a man hanging around the children's

156
00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:58,130
swings, didn't worry you enough to
mention it to the police? No.

157
00:11:58,890 --> 00:11:59,890
Why not?

158
00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:03,410
Tracy Mitchell likes to gossip and make
a big drama out of nothing.

159
00:12:03,970 --> 00:12:06,830
Tomorrow she'll be telling everybody how
she's helping the police.

160
00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:09,970
Well, she was only concerned about your
son, Andrew. She's a bored housewife

161
00:12:09,970 --> 00:12:11,550
with too much time on her hands.

162
00:12:12,270 --> 00:12:13,990
Has anybody else seen this man?

163
00:12:14,590 --> 00:12:17,030
No. Not that I know of. Well, then.

164
00:12:17,550 --> 00:12:20,090
You asked me. John Lawrence was run away
frightened.

165
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,480
Frightened? Of what?

166
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,960
That little bully, Gary Dean.

167
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
You finished with the mother, yep? For
the moment. I've got the address of the

168
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,400
ex-husband in London. He's abroad at the
moment, though.

169
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:31,680
Johnson still with her?

170
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,760
Yep. Good.

171
00:12:33,140 --> 00:12:35,760
We've had a description of a man seen
hanging around on two separate

172
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,920
occasions. Where was he seen?

173
00:12:37,220 --> 00:12:39,220
Over there, by the track that leads to
Mill Lane.

174
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:42,000
That's where Stella Rivers disappeared.

175
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Are we following it up?

176
00:12:43,660 --> 00:12:44,660
Later.

177
00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:45,519
Come on.

178
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,520
We've got to go and see a bully.

179
00:12:48,620 --> 00:12:49,800
Nothing to worry about, Gary.

180
00:12:50,410 --> 00:12:51,650
I need to ask you a couple of questions.

181
00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:03,930
What we need to know is where John
Lawrence went when he left you at the

182
00:13:03,930 --> 00:13:04,829
swings.

183
00:13:04,830 --> 00:13:05,830
Don't know.

184
00:13:05,890 --> 00:13:07,450
When you last saw him, what was he
doing?

185
00:13:08,050 --> 00:13:09,330
Just running through the woods.

186
00:13:09,650 --> 00:13:10,650
Why was he doing that?

187
00:13:11,650 --> 00:13:12,609
Don't know.

188
00:13:12,610 --> 00:13:13,650
Was he upset about something?

189
00:13:13,930 --> 00:13:14,930
Don't know.

190
00:13:15,270 --> 00:13:18,290
Gary, wouldn't you like people to think
that you were the one who helped the

191
00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:19,390
police find John Lawrence?

192
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:21,960
I didn't make him run off.

193
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,020
It's not my fault. I'm not saying it is.
You're upsetting him.

194
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,900
Did he run into the woods or did he go
along the track to Mill Lane?

195
00:13:31,140 --> 00:13:32,140
Towards Mill Lane.

196
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,840
Was there anybody hanging about there, a
man?

197
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,200
Like the spy.

198
00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:37,460
The spy?

199
00:13:37,940 --> 00:13:40,840
He's bloke. He stands around the trees
sometimes.

200
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:42,340
What's he like?

201
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,640
Don't know.

202
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,820
Small? Thin? He doesn't know.

203
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,240
Mrs Dean.

204
00:13:49,070 --> 00:13:50,370
He's small and thin, Gary.

205
00:13:50,650 --> 00:13:52,010
Do you remember anything else about him?

206
00:13:52,390 --> 00:13:54,930
He walks away if you try to go near him.

207
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:56,410
He's got a limp.

208
00:13:58,390 --> 00:14:00,990
I was hoping to God the little lad had
run off somewhere.

209
00:14:02,690 --> 00:14:03,690
But he hasn't.

210
00:14:04,650 --> 00:14:05,650
He was taken.

211
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:08,350
See you in the morning.

212
00:14:09,730 --> 00:14:10,730
Good night.

213
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,180
Police have set up an incident room
after the disappearance of John Lawrence

214
00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:35,400
yesterday afternoon from Fontaine Road.

215
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,260
He'd been playing in the recreation...
Is that your project book last night? It

216
00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:40,260
isn't done yet.

217
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:43,860
Is it? It was very late, John.

218
00:14:45,660 --> 00:14:47,360
It was after one, wasn't it?

219
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:49,520
Did I disturb you? No.

220
00:14:49,820 --> 00:14:51,460
I often let him out for you coming in.

221
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,140
I couldn't sleep if Dad was working
late.

222
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,740
It's called Policeman's Wife, isn't it?

223
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Is syndrome the word you're looking for?

224
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,060
The project's coming on well.

225
00:15:04,660 --> 00:15:06,960
The handwriting is getting very floppy,
though.

226
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:12,860
When I worked at the hospital, all the
doctors had terrible handwriting.

227
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:16,240
It's hard to the point, is it?

228
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,960
Don't get ink on the tablecloth.

229
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,540
I didn't intend to.

230
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,240
Breakfast, Mike?

231
00:15:28,110 --> 00:15:29,110
No, I have to go.

232
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:34,930
We thought we might all go to the cinema
tonight, Mike. What do you think?

233
00:15:35,210 --> 00:15:36,510
I'm not sure. I may well be working.

234
00:15:37,830 --> 00:15:39,530
You never want to go anywhere with us,
do you?

235
00:15:39,970 --> 00:15:41,330
I have to work, Pat.

236
00:15:45,530 --> 00:15:46,530
What time does the film start?

237
00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:48,470
Don't you want to know what the film is?

238
00:15:52,210 --> 00:15:55,650
The programme starts at 7 and the main
film's on at 7.20.

239
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,560
I'll be home at half past six then.

240
00:15:57,980 --> 00:15:58,980
You promise?

241
00:16:00,140 --> 00:16:01,140
Who's that?

242
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:03,620
Alexandra Knight.

243
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,920
I think she'll take over from Leonie
West.

244
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,760
Well, if there's any justice, she will.
Really?

245
00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:10,800
Leonie had a car accident.

246
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,440
It finished what bit of career she had
left.

247
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,020
Not much justice there, was there?

248
00:16:16,580 --> 00:16:17,580
Not much anywhere.

249
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:28,660
Is Inspector Burden coming straight
here, do you know?

250
00:16:29,940 --> 00:16:30,940
I believe so, sir.

251
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Well, I wish he'd hurry you up.

252
00:16:36,020 --> 00:16:38,740
He's not seeming too well again, is he,
sir?

253
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Isn't he?

254
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,620
Well, it's coming up to his anniversary,
isn't it?

255
00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:50,540
I didn't really know his wife.

256
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,600
No.

257
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:55,040
Only six years old.

258
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,360
Makes you wonder why, doesn't it, sir?

259
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,060
Everything makes you wonder why.

260
00:17:03,380 --> 00:17:06,380
Why would somebody want to harm a little
girl or a five-year-old boy?

261
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:10,220
Why any of it?

262
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,680
Inspector. Good morning.

263
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:14,920
Have you found John?

264
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:16,300
No.

265
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,480
Well, not yet.

266
00:17:19,980 --> 00:17:22,660
I thought when I heard the bell, I
thought you'd found him.

267
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,619
Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't think I should
have telephoned.

268
00:17:27,180 --> 00:17:29,480
I was just passing. Wanted to make sure
you were all right.

269
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:31,320
I was kind.

270
00:17:33,580 --> 00:17:34,580
Come in.

271
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:40,060
Thank you.

272
00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:47,500
The doctor said I should find something
to occupy my mind.

273
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,960
I tied it up.

274
00:17:52,820 --> 00:17:53,960
The pill couldn't work.

275
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,480
I find anything like that.

276
00:17:58,350 --> 00:17:59,770
I hate being forced into sleep.

277
00:18:00,970 --> 00:18:01,970
Yes, I know what you mean.

278
00:18:04,690 --> 00:18:06,190
I'm going to have some more coffee. Do
you want some?

279
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:08,890
I have something to eat.

280
00:18:09,890 --> 00:18:12,350
Or has your wife already made you
breakfast? I suppose she will have.

281
00:18:12,570 --> 00:18:13,570
No.

282
00:18:14,350 --> 00:18:17,430
Coffee would be very nice. Eat if you
like. It's no problem. It'd give me

283
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:18,430
something to do.

284
00:18:21,370 --> 00:18:22,810
I'm sorry it's going to be burnt.

285
00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:27,650
I mean, there's nothing I can do about
it. Please, don't worry.

286
00:18:29,449 --> 00:18:30,449
Yes.

287
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:32,910
I moved down here after my divorce.

288
00:18:34,570 --> 00:18:36,130
I wanted to get out of London anyway.

289
00:18:36,810 --> 00:18:40,930
It was all so incestuous. Same friends
jumping in and out of bed with each

290
00:18:40,930 --> 00:18:42,950
other. All enjoying having a crisis.

291
00:18:45,370 --> 00:18:46,550
Yes, London Isle.

292
00:18:47,870 --> 00:18:48,870
Well out of it.

293
00:18:50,750 --> 00:18:51,750
Thank you.

294
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:53,470
Thank you.

295
00:19:00,780 --> 00:19:01,780
Is it okay?

296
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,000
A bit salty.

297
00:19:05,220 --> 00:19:06,220
Oh, I'm sorry.

298
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,400
It's in a packet.

299
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,880
Well, it doesn't matter.

300
00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:12,060
You've got some crackers somewhere, if
you'd rather.

301
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,920
I hate cooking things. Really, it was
fine.

302
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,600
I'm useless in kitchens. I haven't got
the patience.

303
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,440
I'd much rather live on takeaway.

304
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:27,540
Will your wife cook?

305
00:19:29,140 --> 00:19:30,140
She, um...

306
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:31,270
Was a good cook, yes.

307
00:19:32,450 --> 00:19:33,770
My wife died a year ago.

308
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:38,010
She must have been quite young.

309
00:19:40,410 --> 00:19:42,370
It was a terrible tragedy for you.

310
00:19:49,170 --> 00:19:51,590
That's why you're so kind to other
people who are in trouble.

311
00:19:56,650 --> 00:19:59,530
Any news on that red Jaguar in Fontaine
Road yet? Not yet, sir.

312
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,280
Mr. Griswold, going to Yorkshire?

313
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,900
Yes, sir. Half past nine.

314
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:06,120
Oh, and Deputy Chief Constable
Freeborn's office called.

315
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,840
He'll be coming over Monday, sir.

316
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Oh, wonderful.

317
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:11,540
Morning. Good afternoon.

318
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,120
I called on Mrs. Lawrence on the way in.
Oh?

319
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,020
I thought to myself, it's only she
forgot to tell us. And was there?

320
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,840
No. I got another photograph of the boy,
though.

321
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,300
Stella Rivers' photograph.

322
00:20:23,780 --> 00:20:24,780
Oh, thank you.

323
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,620
One of the husbands, just in case.

324
00:20:27,340 --> 00:20:28,860
Has anybody been in touch with him yet?

325
00:20:29,340 --> 00:20:30,340
I'll still try.

326
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,560
Yeah, we'll keep at it.

327
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Our new boss arrives on Monday.

328
00:20:34,380 --> 00:20:35,500
God, will we have to see him?

329
00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:39,360
You might. I shall be too busy. Someone
spotted a red Jaguar in Fontaine Road.

330
00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:41,200
Unfortunately, we don't have the
registration number.

331
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:44,900
The papers are full of it. I don't know
what the papers are full of. Phone calls

332
00:20:44,900 --> 00:20:45,879
have started.

333
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,320
John Lawrence has been spotted at
Grantham, Birmingham, Aldershot, just

334
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,040
like the Stella Rivers case. She was
spotted everywhere.

335
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,620
We never found a trace of her.

336
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,300
Now, if the same man has struck again,
this is where we have to start our

337
00:20:56,300 --> 00:20:57,300
search.

338
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,299
What's wrong?

339
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:10,040
That bloody moron, Loring.

340
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,280
What's he done?

341
00:21:12,700 --> 00:21:15,260
Don't you want any brain at all? You're
like the Gestapo.

342
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,680
I had to ask a certain question. You
were interrogating her.

343
00:21:19,900 --> 00:21:21,800
Her child is missing, for crying out
loud.

344
00:21:22,020 --> 00:21:24,040
What are you trying to do, push her
completely over the edge?

345
00:21:24,980 --> 00:21:26,320
Oh, do me a favour.

346
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,260
Everybody else brought him to his alibi
for the time the boy went off.

347
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,540
Oh, I'm putting you on with WPC Johnson
when you do the house-to-house.

348
00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:49,260
Can I take Griffiths, sir?

349
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,460
Why, do you prefer Blondes? No, sir,
it's just a bit difficult working with

350
00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:55,460
Johnson.

351
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:57,100
What are you talking about?

352
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,360
Well, apparently she let you put Loring
this morning.

353
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,260
She accused him of intimidating Mrs
Lobbs. You know, interrogating her.

354
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:05,940
What did you say to her?

355
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,720
How was that, sir?

356
00:23:03,899 --> 00:23:06,700
Lawrence? Lawrence?

357
00:23:31,690 --> 00:23:33,570
What am I going to do? I can't bear it.

358
00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:37,690
They searched my house.

359
00:23:38,150 --> 00:23:39,210
They asked me questions.

360
00:23:39,910 --> 00:23:43,150
I love John. I haven't done anything to
him. I haven't. I know.

361
00:23:43,730 --> 00:23:45,730
The officer was here. Had no right to
question.

362
00:23:46,210 --> 00:23:49,070
There was a woman on the telephone. She
said it was all my fault because I

363
00:23:49,070 --> 00:23:50,070
wasn't clean.

364
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:51,630
She said John was dead.

365
00:23:51,970 --> 00:23:54,130
She said he'd been found with his hands
tied.

366
00:23:54,990 --> 00:23:56,470
Why are people so cruel?

367
00:23:56,930 --> 00:23:58,750
I can't bear it. I just can't.

368
00:23:59,130 --> 00:24:00,210
Don't think about them.

369
00:24:00,879 --> 00:24:03,700
We'll get your phone monitor. You won't
have any more calls like that.

370
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:05,940
I haven't done anything.

371
00:24:06,140 --> 00:24:07,160
I haven't hurt anybody.

372
00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:08,580
I know. I know.

373
00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:11,960
Dear God, where is he?

374
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,100
Here. Sip some of this.

375
00:24:18,300 --> 00:24:20,120
No, it'll make me sick. I hate brandy.

376
00:24:21,700 --> 00:24:25,020
Well... Thank God you came.

377
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,320
I was going mad.

378
00:24:30,890 --> 00:24:32,270
He should be sitting there now.

379
00:24:32,490 --> 00:24:33,890
He should be having his tea.

380
00:24:35,230 --> 00:24:38,290
Look, we'll find him. You mustn't give
in.

381
00:24:39,650 --> 00:24:40,650
Sorry.

382
00:24:42,790 --> 00:24:43,790
Have you got a hanky?

383
00:24:47,810 --> 00:24:49,590
I'll mess it up. No, it doesn't matter.

384
00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:04,850
That far, I think.

385
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:06,990
I don't know.

386
00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:08,070
It worked.

387
00:25:17,770 --> 00:25:20,450
It can't be easy for you, being alone
with two children.

388
00:25:20,770 --> 00:25:22,310
Well, my wife's sister's staying with
us.

389
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:24,430
She's a nurse.

390
00:25:25,150 --> 00:25:27,850
She came to us for a few weeks, and
she's been looking after us ever since.

391
00:25:28,890 --> 00:25:32,290
Does she earn you nice white
handkerchiefs? She tells us on the trip.

392
00:25:35,630 --> 00:25:37,450
I suppose it's the nearest thing to
having another.

393
00:25:38,010 --> 00:25:39,010
Wife?

394
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:43,070
No.

395
00:25:47,250 --> 00:25:49,650
Some wounds never heal, do they?

396
00:25:53,030 --> 00:25:56,170
You know, you mustn't be alone.

397
00:25:56,710 --> 00:25:57,710
Oh, I won't be.

398
00:25:58,730 --> 00:26:01,110
Tracy Mitchell's coming in at ten.
She'll be here in a minute.

399
00:26:08,170 --> 00:26:09,170
Do you have to go?

400
00:26:10,350 --> 00:26:11,350
Well, yes.

401
00:26:12,650 --> 00:26:13,930
I'm sorry, I really must go.

402
00:26:14,170 --> 00:26:15,170
No, I'm sorry.

403
00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:16,830
I've obviously messed your evening up.

404
00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:18,850
And your handkerchief.

405
00:26:19,170 --> 00:26:20,290
Oh, that's all right.

406
00:26:23,330 --> 00:26:24,330
Will you come again?

407
00:26:26,230 --> 00:26:27,230
Yes, I will.

408
00:26:33,230 --> 00:26:36,150
We waited till it was too late to go.

409
00:27:29,420 --> 00:27:32,080
I don't know where all these people were
on the day that John Lawrence

410
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,080
disappeared. Morning.

411
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,400
Morning. Sorry, Martin.

412
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,220
Yeah? The list of Gemma Lawrence's close
friends.

413
00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:40,460
I want you to distribute these for me.

414
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Yeah. Really?

415
00:27:43,120 --> 00:27:44,120
Where did we get these?

416
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,560
Oh, Johnson went out to see her this
morning.

417
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,640
Well,

418
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,740
they're not the only ones that can pop
in in the morning, you know?

419
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Anything known about any of them? Well,
some of them are famous.

420
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:55,900
You can tell that by reading the radio
at times.

421
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,240
Oh, and I've pulled in all known sex
offenders.

422
00:27:58,890 --> 00:27:59,890
Keep them in.

423
00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:01,270
Sir? What?

424
00:28:02,270 --> 00:28:05,130
It wasn't addressed to anybody in
particular, and I'm afraid everybody's

425
00:28:05,130 --> 00:28:07,250
prints are all over it. We didn't
realise what it was.

426
00:28:07,470 --> 00:28:08,309
Well, what is it?

427
00:28:08,310 --> 00:28:09,570
You'd better see to yourself, sir.

428
00:28:18,350 --> 00:28:19,850
John Lawrence is safe with me.

429
00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:22,290
We have rabbits here and we play.

430
00:28:23,370 --> 00:28:27,670
I shall return him at 9am on Monday, my
flute ride, Cheriton Forest.

431
00:28:28,470 --> 00:28:30,470
Do not try to stop me or the boy will be
killed.

432
00:28:32,350 --> 00:28:33,550
How many people have seen this?

433
00:28:33,950 --> 00:28:35,730
Three or four personnel down the far
end.

434
00:28:36,130 --> 00:28:38,450
Nobody says a word about it. Nobody was
here about this.

435
00:28:38,830 --> 00:28:39,830
What about Mrs. Lawrence?

436
00:28:40,190 --> 00:28:41,270
Especially not Mrs. Lawrence.

437
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:43,230
Why?

438
00:28:43,530 --> 00:28:45,610
The poor woman's going mad. Why are they
waiting for news?

439
00:28:45,910 --> 00:28:46,910
It's a hoax.

440
00:28:47,290 --> 00:28:48,750
We have rabbits here and we play.

441
00:28:49,890 --> 00:28:50,890
The man's a nut.

442
00:28:51,090 --> 00:28:53,590
There are several like it on the Stella
Rivers inquiry, sir. Oh, you've

443
00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:55,430
developed great powers of instinct too,
have you, Sergeant?

444
00:29:04,270 --> 00:29:05,430
A bit unfair, wasn't it?

445
00:29:05,630 --> 00:29:06,630
Well, how does he know?

446
00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:10,010
Just because it happened in your inquiry
last year doesn't mean this is a hoax.

447
00:29:11,030 --> 00:29:13,010
I think we should tell her, Reg.

448
00:29:13,610 --> 00:29:17,350
Given that the child has been missing
for 36 hours, how do you think that this

449
00:29:17,350 --> 00:29:18,350
is going to develop?

450
00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:20,070
Probably into a murder inquiry.

451
00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:24,310
Why raise the poor woman's hopes when in
two days' time I shall have to go round

452
00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:28,230
there and tell her that a five-year-old
has been found face down in a ditch with

453
00:29:28,230 --> 00:29:29,230
a knife through his throat?

454
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:48,620
Mill Lane.

455
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,680
The last place that Stella Rivers was
seen alive.

456
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:58,260
2.30 on the day she disappeared, her
stepfather, Ivor Swan, dropped her off

457
00:29:58,260 --> 00:29:59,260
at this gate here.

458
00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:03,480
He told me that she expected to be given
a lift home by a friend.

459
00:30:03,980 --> 00:30:08,800
But Mrs. Fan, the woman who runs this
place, made a statement saying that

460
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,100
Stella expected Swan to pick her up.

461
00:30:11,540 --> 00:30:12,560
He never arrived.

462
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,240
That's why she started walking down the
lane.

463
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,100
The driver said he'd picked up an
elderly chap with a suitcase, but that

464
00:30:21,100 --> 00:30:22,100
was practically in town.

465
00:30:22,460 --> 00:30:23,460
Did he come forward?

466
00:30:23,580 --> 00:30:27,120
No, but neither did the lot of people
who were supposedly seen.

467
00:30:35,220 --> 00:30:36,220
That's the lodge house.

468
00:30:37,340 --> 00:30:38,600
That's where Mrs Fenn lives.

469
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,280
She was at the riding stables until six.

470
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,440
She had some relatives stay.

471
00:30:46,090 --> 00:30:47,170
But they left earlier.

472
00:30:48,230 --> 00:30:53,370
A taxi driver confirmed that he picked
them up at 2.25 to take them to

473
00:30:53,370 --> 00:30:54,430
Stariton, to the train.

474
00:30:55,950 --> 00:31:01,210
That was just the time that Stella was
being dropped off for her riding lesson

475
00:31:01,210 --> 00:31:04,450
a mile away.

476
00:31:22,190 --> 00:31:23,770
we did it, certainly had the weather on
its side.

477
00:31:25,710 --> 00:31:27,150
This place was knee deep in mud.

478
00:31:51,780 --> 00:31:55,040
Eerie old place. It's quite something
when it was built in 1830.

479
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,000
We'll find some treasure.

480
00:31:59,260 --> 00:32:00,260
Yes, sir.

481
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,060
Yes, it burned down on New Year's Eve
1913.

482
00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:16,420
Some idiots at a party dropped a cigar
butt.

483
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,360
They tried to run buckets from the
fountains, but with so much wood in the

484
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,120
structure, the whole thing went up like
a torch.

485
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,260
When the kids were younger, we used to
picnic here a lot, so I bought a book,

486
00:32:28,340 --> 00:32:29,420
boned up on the place.

487
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Sorry, I didn't mean to stir up those
old memories.

488
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:37,060
It's, uh, coming up to Jean's
anniversary.

489
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,080
Reg, I'd rather not discuss Jean's.

490
00:32:39,380 --> 00:32:40,740
No. No, well, I wasn't going to.

491
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,580
It's just that I'm taking a couple of
hours off tomorrow morning, and...

492
00:32:45,270 --> 00:32:47,830
I think you ought to do the same. I
mean, we're both dead beat. It's the

493
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:48,830
last thing I need.

494
00:32:50,390 --> 00:32:55,010
Mike, people are becoming concerned
about you. I don't need them to be.

495
00:32:56,590 --> 00:32:58,610
And I don't want my private life
discussed.

496
00:32:58,810 --> 00:32:59,910
It embarrasses me.

497
00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:03,110
Can we get on with this?

498
00:33:27,490 --> 00:33:29,890
Why aren't you out searching these
streets? It could be nearby.

499
00:33:31,670 --> 00:33:32,670
Gemma.

500
00:33:33,090 --> 00:33:35,170
I've got to do something. I can't just
sit there and wait.

501
00:33:35,450 --> 00:33:36,450
I've got to keep looking.

502
00:33:37,050 --> 00:33:38,630
It's only five. It's dark.

503
00:33:38,910 --> 00:33:42,090
Come on, get in the car. We'll drive.
We'll look together. I don't want to go

504
00:33:42,090 --> 00:33:43,450
home. I've got to keep on looking.

505
00:33:45,270 --> 00:33:46,270
I've got to do something.

506
00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:48,830
Gemma.

507
00:33:54,730 --> 00:33:56,490
Look, it may be all right.

508
00:33:59,530 --> 00:34:00,530
What do you mean, if something happened?

509
00:34:01,250 --> 00:34:02,250
Tell me.

510
00:34:04,150 --> 00:34:07,670
It may come to nothing. It may be a
terrible hoax. What do I say? Tell me.

511
00:34:07,970 --> 00:34:11,090
We received a letter from a person
claiming to be holding John.

512
00:34:12,330 --> 00:34:14,050
He said it was safe, unharmed.

513
00:34:14,590 --> 00:34:15,590
Oh.

514
00:34:17,610 --> 00:34:18,730
Oh, thank God.

515
00:34:23,010 --> 00:34:25,010
General, please remember, it may just be
a hoax.

516
00:34:27,210 --> 00:34:29,870
If you really thought it was a hoax,
you'd never have told me, would you?

517
00:34:31,210 --> 00:34:32,429
I couldn't not tell you.

518
00:34:33,110 --> 00:34:34,110
Oh, Mike.

519
00:34:35,909 --> 00:34:37,170
It's going to be all right.

520
00:34:39,909 --> 00:34:40,909
It's going to be all right.

521
00:34:49,010 --> 00:34:50,130
It's not going to happen, is it?

522
00:34:51,810 --> 00:34:52,810
No.

523
00:34:54,290 --> 00:34:55,290
You were right.

524
00:34:55,350 --> 00:34:56,350
A hoax.

525
00:34:57,420 --> 00:34:58,640
Well, take no pleasure in that.

526
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,680
Sir?

527
00:35:09,780 --> 00:35:10,780
Bloody press.

528
00:35:11,740 --> 00:35:13,160
I don't believe it.

529
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:19,940
How did the press get to hear about
this? Everybody will know by tomorrow.

530
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,780
Well, we'd better be the first to tell
Mrs. Lawrence.

531
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:30,060
And the note said that John would be
returned.

532
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,560
So we went to Cheriton Forest and we
waited.

533
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:41,080
I'm afraid it was, as I suspected, a
terrible hoax.

534
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,560
I wanted to tell you before you got into
the papers.

535
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,340
I'm sorry we can't bring you any better
news at the moment.

536
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,620
All I can say... is that all of my
officers take a crime against a child

537
00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:02,660
more personally than anything else they
have to deal with.

538
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:08,040
There isn't one of them that wouldn't
give up his or her free time to pursue

539
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:09,040
this inquiry.

540
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,220
They all want your boy back to you safe
and well.

541
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:18,640
So, no leads on this John Lawrence
business.

542
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,700
We got a description of the suspect
within the first two hours of the

543
00:36:21,700 --> 00:36:23,520
inquiry. And after that, nothing.

544
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:25,420
Just like your Stella Rivers case.

545
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,220
And now it's police appealing for help.
As the paper says, sir.

546
00:36:32,060 --> 00:36:35,460
I don't want you to take this as a
criticism of you personally.

547
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,520
Well, I'm afraid I do, sir. Yeah, well,
you're bound to feel under the

548
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:43,320
microscope what with this Stella Rivers
case being... Unsolved is the word

549
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,320
you're looking for, sir.

550
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,560
Headlines like this, look it, for morons
who just enjoy reading other people's

551
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:54,380
misfortunes. Yes, quite so. That having
been said, however, if we do have

552
00:36:54,380 --> 00:36:56,560
anything positive to give the press, let
me know.

553
00:36:58,210 --> 00:37:02,510
I would like my first few days here to
be productive.

554
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,940
Good afternoon, Mrs. Watt. I thought
we'd seen the back of you last year.

555
00:37:36,780 --> 00:37:40,660
We're interviewing all men over the age
of 16, and you are over 16.

556
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:41,920
Yes.

557
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,220
We're investigating... I'm going in for
my afternoon tea.

558
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:05,740
I've done your tea for you, love.

559
00:38:06,060 --> 00:38:07,060
Policeman, Rosie.

560
00:38:08,340 --> 00:38:09,620
Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Swan.

561
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,920
This is my colleague, Inspector Burden.

562
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Afternoon.

563
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:14,660
Any jaffa cakes, Rosie?

564
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:15,860
Uh, in the tea.

565
00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:17,440
Sorry, I'll get them for you.

566
00:38:17,740 --> 00:38:18,740
Goodie, keep that for me.

567
00:38:19,060 --> 00:38:21,600
Take the horse to the table for me,
goodie. There we go.

568
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,960
Oh, unsaddle her if you can. If you
can't, it doesn't matter. I don't like

569
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,819
her.

570
00:38:25,820 --> 00:38:26,880
Fond of horses, is it?

571
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:28,840
I need one.

572
00:38:30,260 --> 00:38:32,020
Look, Billy pointed, pointing on a
poodle.

573
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:36,660
Do you know

574
00:38:36,660 --> 00:38:54,120
Mrs.

575
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,218
Gemma Lawrence?

576
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:58,140
No. We keep to ourselves, don't we,
lovely?

577
00:38:58,380 --> 00:38:59,640
We're not great mixers.

578
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:00,940
We're honeymooners.

579
00:39:02,290 --> 00:39:03,290
No, I'm just joking.

580
00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:06,350
We're investigating the disappearance of
a five-year-old boy.

581
00:39:08,010 --> 00:39:10,430
Can you account for your movements last
Thursday afternoon, sir?

582
00:39:10,630 --> 00:39:12,790
You've really got me down as a
kidnapper, haven't you?

583
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:15,230
Mr Burton asked you the question, Mr
Swan.

584
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:16,530
You knew?

585
00:39:17,130 --> 00:39:19,170
Don't remember seeing you when we lost
poor little Stella?

586
00:39:20,130 --> 00:39:21,710
I wasn't around during that
investigation.

587
00:39:23,070 --> 00:39:24,470
I don't know what I did on Thursday.

588
00:39:25,170 --> 00:39:26,230
You cut my hair, was it?

589
00:39:27,010 --> 00:39:28,010
No, that was Monday.

590
00:39:29,270 --> 00:39:30,269
Oh, I know.

591
00:39:30,270 --> 00:39:31,270
I've been riding.

592
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,560
I took the gun, had a go at some
pigeons.

593
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,160
Can't stand the things.

594
00:39:35,660 --> 00:39:36,660
Where was that, sir?

595
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,040
Cheriton Forest.

596
00:39:38,060 --> 00:39:39,060
About 4.30?

597
00:39:39,740 --> 00:39:40,740
About then.

598
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,640
Then I rode to Stoughton and murdered
some kids.

599
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,040
Who's that?

600
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,100
I don't think that's funny at all, sir.

601
00:39:47,340 --> 00:39:50,060
And I don't think it's very funny being
suspected of making away with two

602
00:39:50,060 --> 00:39:51,060
children.

603
00:39:51,220 --> 00:39:52,740
One of them my own wife's.

604
00:39:53,580 --> 00:39:56,260
How did you know that he was in Cheriton
Forest at half past four?

605
00:39:56,500 --> 00:39:57,500
Did I?

606
00:39:58,020 --> 00:40:00,280
Oh, yes, sir. I was, um...

607
00:40:01,100 --> 00:40:03,440
I was walking down, thinking about
something I was working on.

608
00:40:03,980 --> 00:40:05,660
Sergeant Willoughby was trying to get
you on the radio.

609
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:10,780
Well, I may not have any firm evidence,
but that man's at the top of my list.

610
00:40:12,020 --> 00:40:13,980
He just turned like him because he's one
of the idle rich.

611
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:17,000
He's idle, all right, but he falls a
long way short of being rich.

612
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,840
Why can he afford to live like this,
then?

613
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,020
His uncle lets him have it at a
peppercorn rent.

614
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,980
Use the land to people who know what to
do with it.

615
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:33,439
There they go.

616
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,640
Not a care in the world.

617
00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:38,060
You really think we can kill this kind
of river?

618
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,700
We shall know for sure if we ever find
the body.

619
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,500
I've had a long time to think about Mr.
Ivor Swam.

620
00:40:49,940 --> 00:40:54,940
If he's dead, it may not be because of
something he did, but because of

621
00:40:54,940 --> 00:40:55,940
something he failed to do.

622
00:41:20,260 --> 00:41:24,480
How would you feel if your children
disappeared?

623
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,980
When Stella vanished?

624
00:41:27,910 --> 00:41:30,090
Ivor Swann showed not a glimmer of
concern.

625
00:41:31,050 --> 00:41:33,810
Just behaved as if the whole thing was
irrelevant.

626
00:41:35,650 --> 00:41:39,250
The strangest thing was that Ros Swann
never asked him why he was behaving like

627
00:41:39,250 --> 00:41:41,710
that. All she was concerned about was
him.

628
00:41:42,810 --> 00:41:47,110
I interviewed her five times, and she
only mentioned Stella once.

629
00:41:47,950 --> 00:41:50,310
There's a program about a condition
called denial.

630
00:41:53,150 --> 00:41:54,970
Something terrible happens in your life.

631
00:41:55,310 --> 00:41:57,710
Something so awful you can't bear to
believe that it's happened.

632
00:41:58,550 --> 00:42:00,210
So you shut it out. You deny it.

633
00:42:01,710 --> 00:42:03,830
Deny it for long enough. Maybe you find
it hasn't happened at all.

634
00:42:04,250 --> 00:42:05,250
But it did happen.

635
00:42:06,670 --> 00:42:07,790
Pity not to face it.

636
00:42:39,130 --> 00:42:40,130
Sir? What?

637
00:42:40,350 --> 00:42:41,249
Wrong call.

638
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:41,928
Who is it?

639
00:42:41,930 --> 00:42:43,090
He wouldn't give his name, sir.

640
00:42:43,870 --> 00:42:44,870
Right, put him through.

641
00:42:49,810 --> 00:42:52,870
Hello? I warned you not to wait in
Cheriton.

642
00:42:53,510 --> 00:42:54,510
I've got him.

643
00:42:54,950 --> 00:42:56,050
I shan't help again.

644
00:42:56,350 --> 00:42:57,350
I shan't.

645
00:42:59,230 --> 00:43:00,230
Mike!

646
00:43:00,730 --> 00:43:01,730
Mike!

647
00:43:04,690 --> 00:43:05,690
Inspector Burton back yet?

648
00:43:05,890 --> 00:43:07,550
He was here for ten minutes, then he
went, sir.

649
00:43:07,810 --> 00:43:08,810
Damn!

650
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,520
Hello, 313.

651
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:15,839
Hello, Grace.

652
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:16,840
Oh, hello, Reg.

653
00:43:17,060 --> 00:43:18,060
Is Mike with you?

654
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,080
I thought he was with you.

655
00:43:20,780 --> 00:43:21,920
You're working late, aren't you?

656
00:43:23,060 --> 00:43:24,320
Yes, that's right.

657
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,320
Thanks, Grace.

658
00:43:58,190 --> 00:43:59,410
I thought I'd wait up.

659
00:44:00,810 --> 00:44:01,810
Why?

660
00:44:03,190 --> 00:44:04,630
Have you and Regina just finished?

661
00:44:06,290 --> 00:44:09,210
Yes. I may have to work over the weekend
as well.

662
00:44:09,470 --> 00:44:11,750
Ah, I thought we might all do something.

663
00:44:12,010 --> 00:44:13,010
I can't.

664
00:44:14,110 --> 00:44:15,250
You take the kids somewhere.

665
00:44:15,470 --> 00:44:16,490
Mike, they're your children.

666
00:44:17,650 --> 00:44:22,010
Yes, I'll... organise something soon.

667
00:44:24,050 --> 00:44:25,150
I got them some books.

668
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:37,400
I must go to bed, Grace.

669
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:38,560
Mike.

670
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:39,600
What?

671
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,320
You and Reg obviously worked hard
tonight.

672
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:43,760
Yes.

673
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:45,900
What?

674
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,860
Reg Wexford phoned five hours ago asking
for you.

675
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,060
Look, I'm not trying to score points,
Mike. It's none of my business what you

676
00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:55,500
do, but being lighter is so insulting.

677
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,300
I'm not your wife. It's your children
I'm concerned about. I don't see whether

678
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:01,880
I'm working or not makes any difference
to them. I was always working!

679
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,120
Cinema. It's not just the cinema.

680
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,220
This has been going on for weeks.

681
00:45:08,620 --> 00:45:11,280
You demand the highest standards from
them, but you don't ask the same

682
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,420
standards of yourself. You're not being
fair. All right, I'm not a saint. They

683
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:15,420
don't want a saint!

684
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,720
They want a father who doesn't lie to
them!

685
00:45:20,420 --> 00:45:21,640
They know, Mike.

686
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,580
Last week you were working.

687
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,880
John phoned to ask if you'd sponsor him
for the charity walk.

688
00:45:28,180 --> 00:45:32,480
The desk sergeant said it was your day
off. It was the same day he'd ask you to

689
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,960
watch him play football for the school.

690
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,960
You said you were too busy at work. I
saw that child's face when he put the

691
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:39,960
phone down.

692
00:45:42,720 --> 00:45:43,720
I didn't know.

693
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,480
I know you didn't.

694
00:45:46,220 --> 00:45:49,140
And John would hardly dare tell you
because he's afraid of getting you

695
00:45:49,140 --> 00:45:50,140
angry.

696
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,180
What have they done to you?

697
00:45:55,240 --> 00:45:56,720
It's not their fault.

698
00:45:59,500 --> 00:46:00,880
They lost Jean too.

699
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,640
How do the fountains work, Dad?

700
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,920
It's Baroque.

701
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,420
In the style of Niccolo Salvi, 1760.

702
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,320
Fed from an underground water tank.

703
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:51,920
What is it?

704
00:48:53,460 --> 00:48:56,160
The track of dogs was living for a body,
not an underground water tank.

705
00:48:59,820 --> 00:49:01,040
I think it's here.

706
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,060
Get digging over there.

707
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,060
When you were searching, it had been
raining for days.

708
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,420
This dip would have been full of water
and mud from the bank over there.

709
00:49:11,940 --> 00:49:13,820
You could have had the weather on that
side.

710
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,600
There it is. The system cap.

711
00:49:26,350 --> 00:49:27,350
Is he the boy?

712
00:49:28,370 --> 00:49:30,150
No, you've done what I couldn't do.

713
00:49:31,750 --> 00:49:33,810
You've found the body of Stella Rivers.

714
00:49:42,130 --> 00:49:43,170
What do you want to do?

715
00:49:45,290 --> 00:49:46,290
Can't understand it.

716
00:49:46,970 --> 00:49:48,550
There's hardly anything left to
identify.

717
00:49:49,810 --> 00:49:50,810
I know.

718
00:49:52,650 --> 00:49:53,650
Interested.

719
00:50:27,180 --> 00:50:28,280
You satisfied now?

720
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:31,400
What can I say?

721
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,240
We knew she must have been dead.

722
00:50:36,300 --> 00:50:37,440
I hope she died quickly.

723
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:40,000
I hope she wasn't too frightened.

724
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,420
Is there a WPC about?

725
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:49,880
They're both out, sir.

726
00:50:50,460 --> 00:50:52,100
A fight at Cheriton Village Hall.

727
00:50:52,340 --> 00:50:53,340
All right, I'll go myself.

728
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,520
Where, sir?

729
00:50:54,770 --> 00:50:58,310
Tell Mrs. Lawrence that the body we
found is not her son before the morning

730
00:50:58,310 --> 00:50:59,310
papers tell her that it is.

731
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:39,160
Sir? Sir?

732
00:51:42,220 --> 00:51:43,220
When did this arrive?

733
00:51:43,500 --> 00:51:45,220
This which arrived is a pier, sir.

734
00:51:45,900 --> 00:51:46,900
What do you mean?

735
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,660
It's shoved under the windscreen wiper
of a transit van in the car park.

736
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:52,840
You? Sir.

737
00:51:53,220 --> 00:51:54,920
Morning. Morning, sir.

738
00:51:55,540 --> 00:51:56,600
We've had another note.

739
00:51:56,900 --> 00:51:57,900
Told you, sir.

740
00:51:57,980 --> 00:52:00,500
No secrets in the police station. We
ought to know that, Sergeant.

741
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,280
I kept Stella with me.

742
00:52:08,780 --> 00:52:10,120
She liked being near me.

743
00:52:11,020 --> 00:52:12,020
That's a nutcase.

744
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:13,440
Raving nutcase.

745
00:52:13,700 --> 00:52:15,460
I'm not wasting any more of my time on
him.

746
00:52:16,340 --> 00:52:18,060
Everything he's told us, he could have
read in the papers.

747
00:52:18,420 --> 00:52:22,180
I'm surprised he didn't call you
Sergeant Burton, 37, like the papers

748
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:23,180
did.

749
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:30,860
She's got some flowery friends.

750
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,120
There's not one you read that doesn't
have a dearest darling in it.

751
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,300
Well, that's what I like in show
business.

752
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,320
It's a ballet dance and show business.

753
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:40,120
I suppose it is.

754
00:52:40,540 --> 00:52:43,260
We need so much talk to the kids that
Chardon Prime is doing on Friday.

755
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,940
And it's fair to work to open the floor.
Well, you'll have to get somebody, won't

756
00:52:46,940 --> 00:52:48,200
you? Yes, sir.

757
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:52,360
These are Mrs Lawrence's letters, are
they?

758
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:53,359
Yes, sir.

759
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:54,460
I picked them up this morning.

760
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,280
How do you send these to Chardon?

761
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:58,980
I'm trying to arrange something, sir.

762
00:53:00,380 --> 00:53:01,460
So, how is Mrs Lawrence?

763
00:53:02,020 --> 00:53:03,860
She seemed a bit under the weather to
me, sir.

764
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:05,600
Boozing, I think.

765
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:07,760
How do you mean?

766
00:53:07,980 --> 00:53:09,160
She was sitting on the stairs.

767
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:11,640
How does that translate to boozy?

768
00:53:12,500 --> 00:53:15,720
There was a bottle of wine next to her.
It was only half eight.

769
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,000
And you couldn't wait to get back here
and gossip about it, I suppose.

770
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:20,800
I'll take those.

771
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,980
Send WPC Johnson for them in the
morning.

772
00:53:27,300 --> 00:53:28,300
Sir?

773
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,320
He's very good for team morale, isn't
he?

774
00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:30,580
No need for the wicked, Rosie.

775
00:54:33,660 --> 00:54:36,300
This must be a very distressing time for
you.

776
00:54:38,700 --> 00:54:41,180
I was just having a minute. We got rid
of Guddy.

777
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:42,720
I didn't kill her.

778
00:54:44,540 --> 00:54:45,760
I don't know what to do now.

779
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,440
I was resting.

780
00:54:47,820 --> 00:54:49,480
I need to talk to you, Mrs Swann.

781
00:54:52,900 --> 00:54:55,380
I explained all this before in my
statement.

782
00:54:55,940 --> 00:54:56,940
Yes, I know.

783
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,120
I don't let just any man go upstairs
with my wife, you know.

784
00:55:07,620 --> 00:55:11,320
In your original statement, you said you
watched your husband ride across to my

785
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:12,400
feet. Yes.

786
00:55:14,140 --> 00:55:18,560
I was standing here, getting dressed,
and I watched him ride off over there.

787
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,120
It was three o'clock in the afternoon.

788
00:55:21,540 --> 00:55:23,080
About half past, actually.

789
00:55:25,130 --> 00:55:29,130
I ever took Stella to her lesson for
half two and then popped back home for a

790
00:55:29,130 --> 00:55:30,130
while.

791
00:55:30,910 --> 00:55:33,030
Then he rode to my fleet to see Mr
Blaine.

792
00:55:33,850 --> 00:55:36,230
He told me to stand here so he could see
me.

793
00:55:36,630 --> 00:55:37,630
So I did.

794
00:55:38,570 --> 00:55:39,650
My fleet must be what?

795
00:55:40,330 --> 00:55:41,330
Ten minute ride away?

796
00:55:41,750 --> 00:55:43,150
About that. It's that way.

797
00:55:43,530 --> 00:55:45,450
Mill Lane's a long way in the opposite
direction.

798
00:55:46,410 --> 00:55:47,910
If that's what you're driving at.

799
00:55:48,310 --> 00:55:51,030
I was just trying to establish where
everybody was that day.

800
00:55:51,350 --> 00:55:52,830
You won't bring Stella back, will you?

801
00:55:53,339 --> 00:55:56,480
So, a ten-minute ride to my fleet to see
Mr. Blaine.

802
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,900
He says you left him at quarter past
four.

803
00:56:00,340 --> 00:56:03,960
And in your original statement, you said
you returned here at 5.30, an hour and a

804
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:04,960
quarter later.

805
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,080
I went for a ride.

806
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:07,640
In the pouring rain?

807
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,480
You must have thought about that ride a
lot in the past few months.

808
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Not I.

809
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,520
I'm trying to remember if anybody else
saw you after you left Mr. Blaine.

810
00:56:18,060 --> 00:56:19,580
I haven't thought about it much, too.

811
00:56:22,220 --> 00:56:23,860
You reported Stella missing at six
o'clock?

812
00:56:24,180 --> 00:56:25,180
Yes.

813
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,620
Oh, Mill Lane isn't a long way in the
opposite direction.

814
00:56:31,020 --> 00:56:33,820
Oh, it is by car, because you have to
skirt the forest.

815
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:40,640
But across country from my fleet, it's
only 22 minutes and a steady walk.

816
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,260
I know, because I've done it.

817
00:56:48,300 --> 00:56:50,320
Right, your old pair must have been
sorry to leave.

818
00:56:50,860 --> 00:56:54,580
Only two adults to look after in a
lovely house. She got in the way.

819
00:56:55,240 --> 00:56:56,240
Quite.

820
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:58,400
Well, I'll see you at the inquest.

821
00:56:58,800 --> 00:56:59,800
Inquest?

822
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:01,960
I didn't realise... Well, of course
there'll be an inquest.

823
00:57:03,140 --> 00:57:04,160
Would I have to attend?

824
00:57:04,380 --> 00:57:05,520
Well, I assumed you'd want to.

825
00:57:05,940 --> 00:57:07,480
Why do we have to go through it all
again?

826
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:09,240
Won't bring her back.

827
00:57:09,380 --> 00:57:10,380
It's done with.

828
00:57:11,660 --> 00:57:13,240
We'll go away, babe, when it's over.

829
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:15,380
Yes. I don't think so.

830
00:57:15,820 --> 00:57:17,100
This case was never closed.

831
00:57:18,180 --> 00:57:19,620
Now that it's active again...

832
00:57:19,950 --> 00:57:21,350
I want everybody concerned available.

833
00:57:21,770 --> 00:57:23,670
Look, we haven't done anything.

834
00:57:24,110 --> 00:57:25,110
Can't you let it rest?

835
00:57:25,890 --> 00:57:27,850
Ivor loves Stella like she was his own
child.

836
00:57:28,050 --> 00:57:29,990
All this is upsetting him, and I won't
have him upset.

837
00:57:30,470 --> 00:57:31,470
I won't.

838
00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:48,390
I think I rattled him this time.

839
00:57:50,100 --> 00:57:51,280
You watch him at the inquest.

840
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:52,840
What are you doing?

841
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,980
Just checking through Mrs Lawrence's
mail.

842
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:56,840
Nothing nasty in this lot.

843
00:57:57,500 --> 00:58:00,000
She seems to have quite a few men
friends and more than just a bit fond of

844
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,060
her. Yes, well, I suppose they'll all
want to help.

845
00:58:02,980 --> 00:58:03,980
Yeah, probably.

846
00:58:18,730 --> 00:58:21,730
I'm trying to apply your denial theory,
but it doesn't sit well on Mrs. Ross

847
00:58:21,730 --> 00:58:25,090
Swann. All right, go back to her alibi
then. Can you shake that?

848
00:58:25,330 --> 00:58:28,490
No. She was in the house the afternoon
that Stella disappeared.

849
00:58:28,990 --> 00:58:30,830
She couldn't get out because she doesn't
drive.

850
00:58:31,510 --> 00:58:32,530
And you don't believe her?

851
00:58:34,610 --> 00:58:36,130
She wouldn't protect Swann, you know.

852
00:58:36,530 --> 00:58:37,830
What if he killed her child?

853
00:58:38,230 --> 00:58:40,670
He wanted to see the child's body in the
mortuary.

854
00:58:42,430 --> 00:58:43,430
The car?

855
00:58:44,410 --> 00:58:47,250
The ride that Stella had that afternoon
was planned at the last moment.

856
00:58:48,330 --> 00:58:49,770
She usually rode on a Saturday.

857
00:58:50,030 --> 00:58:51,970
It was for a chance meeting, whoever
killed her.

858
00:58:52,410 --> 00:58:53,690
I was wondering where she was.

859
00:58:53,910 --> 00:58:56,550
You wouldn't have known she was walking
down Melbourne Lane. Didn't arrange to

860
00:58:56,550 --> 00:58:57,229
pick her up.

861
00:58:57,230 --> 00:58:59,290
Well, according to Mrs. Fenton, she did.

862
00:59:00,190 --> 00:59:02,810
Said he did something to stab her and
was terrified of the consequences.

863
00:59:03,690 --> 00:59:04,690
Where would he go?

864
00:59:05,190 --> 00:59:06,290
To his doting wife.

865
00:59:07,330 --> 00:59:08,330
Think about it.

866
00:59:08,890 --> 00:59:09,930
He's carried stiff.

867
00:59:10,750 --> 00:59:13,550
He tells her there's been some sort of
an accident. He panicked. Hang on a

868
00:59:13,550 --> 00:59:14,910
second. Where's the evidence of any
accident?

869
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,760
Aren't you inventing a convenient
scenario just to fit your own theory?

870
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,240
I know, Swan.

871
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,160
I've checked his past.

872
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,400
He's a lazy sponger with a great knack
of bringing disaster to people all round

873
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:32,000
him. The body of Stella Rivers was found
face down in a water cistern in the

874
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,940
grounds of Saltram House, Stoughton.

875
00:59:34,460 --> 00:59:36,940
The body had been there for about 12
months.

876
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:43,520
Death was caused by asphyxiation,
violent manual pressure on the windpipe

877
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:44,520
and mouth.

878
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,360
The body was inevitably in an advanced
state of decomposition, but I could find

879
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,060
no evidence of sexual interference.

880
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:57,260
There were no exterior wounds, but there
was some bruising, which I believe was

881
00:59:57,260 --> 00:59:59,280
caused by the body being thrown into the
system.

882
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:00,860
Thank you, Dr. Crocker.

883
01:00:01,540 --> 01:00:03,680
Mr. Ivor Swan, please.

884
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:14,220
Swan's uncle put money up.

885
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:17,400
Why now?

886
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,480
It's a murder inquiry.

887
01:00:18,700 --> 01:00:21,220
I swear by almighty God that the
evidence I shall give shall be the

888
01:00:21,220 --> 01:00:23,620
truth, the whole truth and nothing but
the truth.

889
01:00:29,740 --> 01:00:34,960
Mr. Swan, tell me what you remember
about Thursday the 25th of May last

890
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:35,960
year.

891
01:00:36,380 --> 01:00:40,480
Clearly it is an upsetting thing to have
to talk about, but anything you can

892
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,700
remember may help the police in their
inquiry.

893
01:00:49,710 --> 01:00:51,550
All had breakfast together about 10
o'clock.

894
01:00:53,230 --> 01:00:54,470
It was half-time for Stella.

895
01:00:56,430 --> 01:00:57,810
She brushed the horse for me.

896
01:00:58,890 --> 01:00:59,890
Got it ready.

897
01:01:01,690 --> 01:01:05,450
I was listening to some music, reading
the paper.

898
01:01:06,670 --> 01:01:07,670
Nothing much.

899
01:01:09,810 --> 01:01:14,350
Ros made me my lunch about 12.30ish.

900
01:01:15,330 --> 01:01:17,130
Stella didn't want what I was having.

901
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,120
At quarter past two, I took her over to
the riding stables.

902
01:01:24,660 --> 01:01:26,600
She said she was getting a lift home
with friends.

903
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,480
So I said, see you later, and drove back
home to Ros.

904
01:01:36,420 --> 01:01:38,440
Later on, I rode over to my fleet.

905
01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:41,620
I was going to buy Stella a little
puppy.

906
01:01:54,779 --> 01:01:58,040
Well, that's a good public place to show
his first sign of grief.

907
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,160
Thought she said she couldn't drive.

908
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:05,740
Well, maybe she lied.

909
01:02:07,660 --> 01:02:10,180
Better check again whether she ever had
a British driving license.

910
01:02:11,460 --> 01:02:15,040
Check in the former name of Rivers, and
in the maiden name.

911
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,540
She must have been comforting him. Why,
the driver's sick.

912
01:02:24,860 --> 01:02:28,360
Bit odd for a non-driver. Well, maybe,
but she didn't actually drive away. Mr.

913
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:29,299
Wexford, sir.

914
01:02:29,300 --> 01:02:30,920
Yes? I think it's him.

915
01:02:31,460 --> 01:02:32,460
Right.

916
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:34,440
How does he know that we're back in the
building?

917
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:37,620
Get Sergeant Willoughby to put him
through.

918
01:02:40,260 --> 01:02:41,300
Thought you weren't talking.

919
01:02:42,420 --> 01:02:43,420
Can't call again.

920
01:02:44,700 --> 01:02:45,960
You got some help, didn't you?

921
01:02:46,220 --> 01:02:47,500
You mean that look of hair you sent?

922
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:49,000
There's your clue.

923
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:51,120
That look of hair wasn't from John
Lawrence, as you claimed.

924
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,460
We had it analysed. No.

925
01:02:54,140 --> 01:02:56,620
I cut it from Stella Rivers when I
topped her.

926
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:08,420
My God.

927
01:03:14,020 --> 01:03:17,740
There are kids left unappended outside
the supermarkets.

928
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,040
Kids left in cars with the engines
running.

929
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,180
There's a kidnapper on the loose. A
child already disappeared.

930
01:03:24,380 --> 01:03:26,180
The public have put it out of their
minds.

931
01:03:27,820 --> 01:03:28,860
Now, is that stupid?

932
01:03:30,020 --> 01:03:31,820
Or am I out of touch with modern
thinking?

933
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:33,980
No, that's stupid.

934
01:03:35,820 --> 01:03:38,060
Well, your blood pressure's up a bit,
I'm afraid.

935
01:03:38,340 --> 01:03:39,540
Yeah, well, blame the public.

936
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:41,280
I feel all right.

937
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:46,200
Yes, I'm sure you feel all right, Reg.
I've got dozens in here who feel all

938
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:47,660
right. That is, until they...

939
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,460
keel over with a coronary. Oh, thanks.

940
01:03:51,180 --> 01:03:52,580
That's cheered me up a treat.

941
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,940
You're letting this Stella Rivers
business get you.

942
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:57,240
Yes, I am.

943
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:58,400
And so would you.

944
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,840
You remember the day that Stella Rivers
disappeared?

945
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,140
Oh, only too well.

946
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,120
First day of my holiday. Well, at least
it ought to have been.

947
01:04:07,900 --> 01:04:12,660
The locum didn't show up, and it began
with a premature baby at six in the

948
01:04:12,660 --> 01:04:16,860
morning. and ended with a suspected
coronary at the railway station at six

949
01:04:16,860 --> 01:04:17,860
in the evening.

950
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:24,600
Great start to a fortnight in Dorset.
Oh, and I might tell you, the chap who

951
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,060
had the coronary wasn't an awful lot
older than yourself.

952
01:04:27,780 --> 01:04:31,060
He'd been down here on holiday and he
was running with a heavy suitcase, went

953
01:04:31,060 --> 01:04:32,060
over just like that.

954
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:33,820
So be warned.

955
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,740
No, you won't speak to no one apart from
this Chief Inspector Wexford.

956
01:05:05,060 --> 01:05:07,300
Wexford? You scouse of pret.

957
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:08,700
Oh, Wexford.

958
01:05:09,060 --> 01:05:10,060
Sorry.

959
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:12,760
Hello?

960
01:05:13,180 --> 01:05:14,260
Hello, Mr Wexford.

961
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:15,720
Steve Little.

962
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:17,240
Long time.

963
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:18,500
Not long enough.

964
01:05:19,020 --> 01:05:20,020
What do you want?

965
01:05:20,380 --> 01:05:22,500
It's about that girl, what you found.

966
01:05:22,780 --> 01:05:23,538
Stella Rivers.

967
01:05:23,540 --> 01:05:24,580
Read about it in the paper.

968
01:05:25,180 --> 01:05:26,180
Oh, yeah?

969
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,240
Yeah. I've got some information.

970
01:05:29,700 --> 01:05:30,700
Well, tell me.

971
01:05:31,150 --> 01:05:33,790
When I see you. But I don't see you as
well as talk to you, do I?

972
01:05:34,050 --> 01:05:35,390
Look, I'm trying to help you.

973
01:05:35,590 --> 01:05:37,310
I'm stuck here in Liverpool.

974
01:05:37,590 --> 01:05:38,710
I ain't got no dosh.

975
01:05:39,410 --> 01:05:40,650
They hate us up here.

976
01:05:41,050 --> 01:05:42,250
Well, they don't like you much anywhere.

977
01:05:43,350 --> 01:05:46,050
It'd be worth your while helping me get
back.

978
01:05:46,610 --> 01:05:49,510
Why? I think I know who killed her.

979
01:05:54,770 --> 01:05:57,210
Did you collect Mrs. Lawrence's mail
this morning?

980
01:05:57,470 --> 01:05:58,169
There wasn't any.

981
01:05:58,170 --> 01:05:59,810
But, um, she was there?

982
01:06:00,010 --> 01:06:01,010
Yes.

983
01:06:01,330 --> 01:06:02,330
How is she?

984
01:06:02,370 --> 01:06:03,370
Are you coping?

985
01:06:03,730 --> 01:06:05,030
She's in a very bad state, sir.

986
01:06:05,550 --> 01:06:08,270
The odd neighbour pops in. They don't
think they really know what to say to

987
01:06:08,270 --> 01:06:13,750
her. They're all, well, you know,
housewives. And she isn't.

988
01:06:14,090 --> 01:06:15,090
She's very lonely.

989
01:06:17,330 --> 01:06:18,330
Really?

990
01:06:19,130 --> 01:06:21,910
She was concerned about who was actually
monitoring her mail.

991
01:06:22,450 --> 01:06:23,910
She did ask if you were doing it.

992
01:06:25,910 --> 01:06:28,870
What did she say? I mean... She didn't
say very much at all, actually.

993
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:32,080
But I get the feeling she'd be happier
if a woman was checking it.

994
01:06:33,980 --> 01:06:34,980
Right.

995
01:06:35,940 --> 01:06:36,940
Thank you.

996
01:06:51,420 --> 01:06:52,420
Who's in charge here?

997
01:06:54,060 --> 01:06:55,760
Uh, excuse me, go.

998
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,960
I'd like to speak to Chief Inspector
Wakeford.

999
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:03,760
I'm the father of Stella Rivers.

1000
01:07:05,020 --> 01:07:09,760
When Roz took Stella, I wanted to get
away and forget about it all.

1001
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,480
That's why I took the job in Florida.

1002
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:14,380
Did you keep in touch with your
daughter?

1003
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:16,120
Oh, sure.

1004
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:18,480
Birthday, Christmas.

1005
01:07:21,060 --> 01:07:23,140
Must have been hard saying goodbye to
your only child.

1006
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:26,380
I've expected him to send her back.

1007
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:27,800
Where was that?

1008
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,920
When Roz and husband number two first
left, they didn't want to know about

1009
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:33,920
taking Stella.

1010
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,020
It was when their money ran out, Stella
became useful.

1011
01:07:37,700 --> 01:07:38,700
Swan's uncle?

1012
01:07:39,260 --> 01:07:40,260
What about him?

1013
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,240
Well, either Swan's the old man's only
relative.

1014
01:07:42,620 --> 01:07:44,880
When he dies, Swan gets all the money.

1015
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:50,260
The thing is, or rather was, the old
chap didn't care for his nephew's

1016
01:07:50,260 --> 01:07:53,820
lifestyle. It watched him and Roz eat
and drink their way through 70 grand,

1017
01:07:53,940 --> 01:07:57,180
and he thought he had to lay down a few
rules before leaving either any more

1018
01:07:57,180 --> 01:07:59,100
money to spend. So he, uh...

1019
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,560
He let them go broke before offering
them Hall Farm.

1020
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,080
He knew they'd agree to any restrictions
he laid down.

1021
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:07,320
How did he know that?

1022
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,780
Because it's probably something Ivor
Swan has never had to do. You offer him

1023
01:08:10,780 --> 01:08:12,100
an easy way out and he'll take it.

1024
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,500
He offered them Hall Farm on the
condition that Swan got his act together

1025
01:08:16,500 --> 01:08:18,120
and started behaving like a grown-up.

1026
01:08:19,460 --> 01:08:21,160
And how do you prove you're being
responsible?

1027
01:08:22,260 --> 01:08:23,439
You take on a child.

1028
01:08:24,740 --> 01:08:26,899
So he told Ross to get Stella from me.

1029
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:28,439
It was his decision.

1030
01:08:29,090 --> 01:08:30,090
Ross said it was.

1031
01:08:31,250 --> 01:08:34,950
Well, if they had Stella, they got a
17th century farmhouse with 200 acres.

1032
01:08:35,770 --> 01:08:39,470
If they didn't, they stayed broke in a
basement flat in Paddington. No contest.

1033
01:08:40,290 --> 01:08:41,910
The child must have felt wanted.

1034
01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:45,050
Why didn't you stop them taking her?

1035
01:08:47,729 --> 01:08:49,270
Ross is a very determined woman.

1036
01:08:49,630 --> 01:08:53,510
So she was just a business transaction
for Mr. and Mrs. Swann.

1037
01:08:58,760 --> 01:08:59,779
You weren't at the inquest.

1038
01:09:00,660 --> 01:09:02,040
I was delayed in Miami.

1039
01:09:02,279 --> 01:09:05,560
My car broke down. I missed the plane by
eight laughing minutes.

1040
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,540
Well, I hope you'll be able to manage
the funeral. It's just down the road at

1041
01:09:10,540 --> 01:09:11,540
Stariton.

1042
01:09:11,899 --> 01:09:12,979
You'll be able to get a bus.

1043
01:09:29,260 --> 01:09:30,439
There are rusks everywhere.

1044
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,060
Not surprised. I found half a banana
down there this morning.

1045
01:09:35,340 --> 01:09:36,600
I'd like to have a word with my
grandson.

1046
01:09:38,300 --> 01:09:39,800
You're not going to eat that, are you?

1047
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,920
How do people go on when something
happens to their children?

1048
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,580
I hope we never have to find out.

1049
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:51,979
I was thinking about it at once.

1050
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:53,200
Don't.

1051
01:09:53,620 --> 01:09:56,000
Reg, don't let this case get hold of
you.

1052
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:57,720
It's children.

1053
01:09:59,530 --> 01:10:00,530
I can't help it.

1054
01:10:01,230 --> 01:10:02,530
A little girl murdered.

1055
01:10:03,910 --> 01:10:06,170
A little boy of five missing.

1056
01:10:06,570 --> 01:10:07,570
God knows where.

1057
01:10:09,070 --> 01:10:10,130
And I'm not helping.

1058
01:10:11,950 --> 01:10:13,110
I can't get anywhere.

1059
01:10:14,410 --> 01:10:17,610
Well, what about that chap who phoned
from Liverpool?

1060
01:10:17,890 --> 01:10:19,070
Isn't he something?

1061
01:10:20,070 --> 01:10:22,750
Him? He just heard about the reward
money.

1062
01:10:23,490 --> 01:10:25,410
He said he needed to put his hand in the
till.

1063
01:10:26,210 --> 01:10:27,770
No, I'm not putting much faith in him.

1064
01:10:29,390 --> 01:10:30,470
Is that bloke I ever swam?

1065
01:10:31,810 --> 01:10:32,810
He's involved somewhere.

1066
01:10:33,870 --> 01:10:36,710
I just can't get under his skin. He's
got an answer for everything.

1067
01:10:44,370 --> 01:10:45,370
Thanks.

1068
01:10:53,310 --> 01:10:54,570
This is nice, isn't it?

1069
01:10:56,550 --> 01:10:57,550
Oh, good.

1070
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,340
Alexandra Knight and Phil Converti.

1071
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:00,680
That's lovely.

1072
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,060
I can nearly pace that project by now.

1073
01:11:03,540 --> 01:11:04,540
Nearly?

1074
01:11:07,220 --> 01:11:08,220
Who's that one?

1075
01:11:08,460 --> 01:11:11,460
Andrea Nicholls. She hates Alexandra, so
they say.

1076
01:11:14,300 --> 01:11:17,960
That's an old one of Leonie West and
Angela Payne. I think it's the Gala

1077
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:18,960
Knight.

1078
01:11:21,460 --> 01:11:23,180
Well, that was before she had a car
accident.

1079
01:11:24,300 --> 01:11:25,300
Sadler's Wells, I think.

1080
01:11:27,870 --> 01:11:28,870
Excuse me, Dad.

1081
01:11:39,190 --> 01:11:40,210
Look, I have to go out.

1082
01:11:40,630 --> 01:11:43,930
Why? I must, I'm sorry. Oh, Mike. It's
something I have to do. But you promised

1083
01:11:43,930 --> 01:11:44,930
that you... I have to go.

1084
01:11:47,610 --> 01:11:48,610
I'll be back.

1085
01:12:06,030 --> 01:12:07,290
You could wait up for him.

1086
01:12:22,270 --> 01:12:24,650
It's all right. It's all right. I'm a
police officer.

1087
01:12:24,930 --> 01:12:26,210
There's a man in the alleyway.

1088
01:12:27,750 --> 01:12:28,750
Come on.

1089
01:12:31,730 --> 01:12:32,730
Lydia?

1090
01:12:33,550 --> 01:12:34,730
It's Mr. Rushforth.

1091
01:12:35,540 --> 01:12:37,120
Oh, you know him?

1092
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,040
Yes, he lives across the back.

1093
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:40,600
He scared me half to death.

1094
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,500
Oh, I am sorry. I thought the dog had
run up there.

1095
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:44,938
It's all right.

1096
01:12:44,940 --> 01:12:45,940
She knows me.

1097
01:12:46,780 --> 01:12:48,760
Well... You didn't have to make me jump.

1098
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:51,440
I'm Inspector Burton, King's Market
Police.

1099
01:12:52,460 --> 01:12:53,460
Oh.

1100
01:12:54,060 --> 01:12:56,820
Well, you're the right sort of chap to
bump into.

1101
01:12:57,260 --> 01:12:59,480
You're the one who found the body of
Stella Rivers.

1102
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:00,920
Yes. Yes.

1103
01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:03,620
I read that in the paper. Terrible
thing.

1104
01:13:04,330 --> 01:13:05,950
You any nearer finding who did it?

1105
01:13:06,270 --> 01:13:07,750
About time for you to get off, isn't it?

1106
01:13:09,810 --> 01:13:12,170
I'd better look for that silly dog of
mine.

1107
01:13:13,130 --> 01:13:14,430
Good night. Good night.

1108
01:13:15,130 --> 01:13:16,130
Come on, then.

1109
01:13:18,570 --> 01:13:19,690
How far is your home?

1110
01:13:20,470 --> 01:13:21,710
Fifty yards up that way.

1111
01:13:24,010 --> 01:13:25,010
You should go, then.

1112
01:13:25,330 --> 01:13:26,650
Right. Thank you. Night.

1113
01:13:27,450 --> 01:13:28,450
Night.

1114
01:14:12,750 --> 01:14:13,790
You didn't come back.

1115
01:14:15,430 --> 01:14:16,430
Why didn't you?

1116
01:14:18,170 --> 01:14:19,170
I did.

1117
01:14:19,410 --> 01:14:20,450
I telephoned.

1118
01:14:20,670 --> 01:14:22,230
I didn't know you'd called. Several
times.

1119
01:14:23,230 --> 01:14:26,730
I spoke to some man, but he didn't want
to talk.

1120
01:14:27,050 --> 01:14:29,950
Sorry, a friend of mine popped down for
the crisis.

1121
01:14:32,810 --> 01:14:33,870
That's why I sent the note.

1122
01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:35,250
I read it.

1123
01:14:36,770 --> 01:14:39,950
Do you understand why I told you about
the letter we received about John?

1124
01:14:40,450 --> 01:14:41,450
Yes.

1125
01:14:43,820 --> 01:14:44,820
Perhaps I shouldn't have done.

1126
01:14:46,580 --> 01:14:48,180
You gave me a few days of hope.

1127
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:52,380
I wish you'd come back before.

1128
01:14:53,260 --> 01:14:55,080
I wish I'd known that was what you
wanted.

1129
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:00,580
I wasn't sure how to read the situation.

1130
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:02,400
Read the situation?

1131
01:15:03,440 --> 01:15:05,600
God, what strange things men say
sometimes.

1132
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:07,520
Read the situation.

1133
01:15:07,820 --> 01:15:09,160
Look at me. How would you read this?

1134
01:15:11,020 --> 01:15:13,000
I didn't want you to think I was being
too forward.

1135
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:14,780
Lord, did you want to be?

1136
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,180
God, why don't men just say what they
want?

1137
01:15:26,440 --> 01:15:27,780
Don't worry, I'm not drunk.

1138
01:15:29,140 --> 01:15:30,460
Not for the want of trying.

1139
01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:33,940
Pills don't put my mind to sleep.

1140
01:15:34,260 --> 01:15:35,420
Drink doesn't numb me.

1141
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,760
It's God refusing to let me get away
with it.

1142
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:40,880
Stay awake and face it.

1143
01:15:42,350 --> 01:15:44,110
Most of the nights shouting at the past.

1144
01:15:45,590 --> 01:15:50,550
If my ex-husband had made up his mind
sooner and left us, he would never have

1145
01:15:50,550 --> 01:15:51,570
come to this town at all.

1146
01:15:54,330 --> 01:15:54,790
I

1147
01:15:54,790 --> 01:16:02,950
used

1148
01:16:02,950 --> 01:16:08,990
to miss him so much.

1149
01:16:10,810 --> 01:16:12,190
Now we're just misloving.

1150
01:16:15,150 --> 01:16:16,270
You know, don't you?

1151
01:16:23,730 --> 01:16:26,010
He's probably dead, isn't he? Don't say
that.

1152
01:16:30,790 --> 01:16:32,810
He only came to me because he wanted
children.

1153
01:16:33,410 --> 01:16:34,410
And then he left.

1154
01:16:35,610 --> 01:16:37,890
Why the hell did he bother? None of this
need have happened.

1155
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,320
Could have stayed with you, Leonie.

1156
01:16:43,940 --> 01:16:45,240
You couldn't have children.

1157
01:16:47,660 --> 01:16:50,360
And I couldn't take care of the one I
did have.

1158
01:16:51,260 --> 01:16:52,840
It's not your fault, Gemma.

1159
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,280
We're doing every... You're not alone.

1160
01:16:55,540 --> 01:16:56,860
I don't want official sympathy.

1161
01:17:00,140 --> 01:17:01,640
Why my child?

1162
01:17:02,820 --> 01:17:04,320
I haven't got anyone.

1163
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:11,880
to hold me together. I need it.

1164
01:17:13,260 --> 01:17:15,460
I can't stand another night by myself.

1165
01:17:28,740 --> 01:17:29,740
Sorry.

1166
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:32,860
I'm a stink of red wine.

1167
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,980
If you want me, take me to bed.

1168
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:42,040
Love me.

1169
01:17:44,660 --> 01:17:45,760
Community therapy.

1170
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,680
Do you think sex can numb a violent
mind?

1171
01:17:52,180 --> 01:17:53,460
Walk out in the morning.

1172
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:55,880
Excitation.

1173
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,180
Hello, lads. Guess where I was last
night? Don't say that.

1174
01:19:26,380 --> 01:19:27,380
Does it taste all right?

1175
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:30,820
A bit spicy for my liking.

1176
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,840
I'll have to get some ordinary tea bags
in.

1177
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:36,640
Oh, God.

1178
01:19:37,660 --> 01:19:38,660
It's your lot.

1179
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:39,840
For my mail.

1180
01:19:56,010 --> 01:19:57,650
Hello, Gemma. Sorry, I was in bed.

1181
01:19:57,970 --> 01:19:58,990
Did you manage to sleep?

1182
01:19:59,890 --> 01:20:00,890
On and off.

1183
01:20:01,310 --> 01:20:03,390
They'll be delivered to the police
station from tomorrow.

1184
01:20:03,730 --> 01:20:04,730
Oh.

1185
01:20:05,270 --> 01:20:06,690
Call the station if you need anything.

1186
01:20:07,250 --> 01:20:12,650
Oh, by the way, Inspector Burden isn't
checking your mail. Please call any

1187
01:20:12,650 --> 01:20:13,650
time. I will.

1188
01:20:14,650 --> 01:20:15,750
I'll bring these back later.

1189
01:20:26,670 --> 01:20:28,810
How does it feel, hiding from the
police?

1190
01:20:34,650 --> 01:20:35,710
Hello, Mr. Westford.

1191
01:20:35,930 --> 01:20:36,688
There you are.

1192
01:20:36,690 --> 01:20:37,409
How's your luck?

1193
01:20:37,410 --> 01:20:39,850
You'd better not be messing me about,
because I'm not laughing at anything

1194
01:20:39,850 --> 01:20:42,490
very much these days. I wouldn't do it.
I would not do it!

1195
01:20:43,090 --> 01:20:45,370
Here. Any fear of a drink before we get
down to business?

1196
01:20:48,830 --> 01:20:49,789
Thank you.

1197
01:20:49,790 --> 01:20:51,530
This isn't quite what I had in mind.

1198
01:20:52,350 --> 01:20:54,290
You think yourself lucky that you're not
still in Liverpool.

1199
01:20:54,650 --> 01:20:56,010
Now, what do you have to tell me?

1200
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:59,320
Oh, yeah. Well, first of all, I want to
lay down some ground rules.

1201
01:20:59,860 --> 01:21:00,860
Oh, really?

1202
01:21:01,500 --> 01:21:02,560
Well, sit down.

1203
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:09,880
Yeah, I mean, OK, I'm interested in a
free ground reward, it's an offer, but I

1204
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:13,100
do have a background that might lead
people to think they can turn me over

1205
01:21:13,100 --> 01:21:15,120
and send me away at the end of it.

1206
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:17,280
I want to be sure I'll get my way.

1207
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:18,680
How's this for a ground rule?

1208
01:21:19,740 --> 01:21:23,780
If you don't tell me what you want to
know before I'm sure of my tea... I'll

1209
01:21:23,780 --> 01:21:26,560
nick you for withholding information
vital to a murder inquiry.

1210
01:21:28,860 --> 01:21:29,779
Fair enough.

1211
01:21:29,780 --> 01:21:30,780
Thank you.

1212
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:33,360
It's got to be worth the reward money.
Get on with it.

1213
01:21:33,660 --> 01:21:34,660
Okay.

1214
01:21:34,900 --> 01:21:35,900
Right.

1215
01:21:36,380 --> 01:21:38,480
A few years ago, right?

1216
01:21:38,780 --> 01:21:41,620
A bloke I know. I shall give his name if
you don't mind.

1217
01:21:42,060 --> 01:21:43,060
Just a minute.

1218
01:21:43,500 --> 01:21:44,500
Say that again.

1219
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:46,840
What? What you just said.

1220
01:21:47,580 --> 01:21:48,620
Shall I tell you his name?

1221
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,180
Shall I give his name?

1222
01:22:02,030 --> 01:22:07,250
A few years back, this bloke's niece was
working in an hotel, right, in the Lake

1223
01:22:07,250 --> 01:22:13,690
District. Now, one day, out on the lake,
something terrible happens, right? A

1224
01:22:13,690 --> 01:22:18,890
girl that was staying here with her mum
and dad drowns, right? Her name is

1225
01:22:18,890 --> 01:22:21,110
Brigitte Melinda Scott.

1226
01:22:21,550 --> 01:22:27,850
She's 11 years old, right? It turns out
that she's swimming out to this boat to

1227
01:22:27,850 --> 01:22:28,849
her boyfriend.

1228
01:22:28,850 --> 01:22:31,070
11 years old? She's got a boyfriend?

1229
01:22:31,550 --> 01:22:34,050
Oh, but the boyfriend's a lot older than
her, right?

1230
01:22:34,490 --> 01:22:36,410
He's about 19 or something.

1231
01:22:36,990 --> 01:22:41,110
People have noted that he's been seen
with this kid and he's embarrassed.

1232
01:22:41,790 --> 01:22:44,010
So he tries ignoring her.

1233
01:22:44,510 --> 01:22:45,630
But she won't have it.

1234
01:22:45,890 --> 01:22:47,070
She follows him about.

1235
01:22:48,230 --> 01:22:53,150
Anyway, he's out on his boat, right? And
she decides she'll go out and see him.

1236
01:22:53,470 --> 01:22:59,210
Or maybe he's told her to swim out to
him so there's no one to see him

1237
01:22:59,210 --> 01:23:00,210
together.

1238
01:23:00,490 --> 01:23:01,490
I don't know.

1239
01:23:01,810 --> 01:23:06,050
Anyway, she's swimming out and she gets
into trouble, right? So she shouts to

1240
01:23:06,050 --> 01:23:07,050
him to help her.

1241
01:23:07,230 --> 01:23:09,310
He ignores her.

1242
01:23:10,350 --> 01:23:11,350
She's shouting.

1243
01:23:11,830 --> 01:23:14,510
There's people on the shore shouting.
They can all see what's happening.

1244
01:23:15,670 --> 01:23:17,710
The girl hits her head on something.

1245
01:23:18,090 --> 01:23:20,270
She goes under the water.

1246
01:23:20,830 --> 01:23:21,830
She's dead.

1247
01:23:21,950 --> 01:23:23,010
The girl is dead.

1248
01:23:23,430 --> 01:23:24,710
All right, keep your voice down.

1249
01:23:27,850 --> 01:23:28,850
Anyway...

1250
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,400
the coroner's called for the inquest,
right? And the geezer's there saying,

1251
01:23:31,580 --> 01:23:35,640
oh, no, no, no, no. She never called out
to me. I never knew she was in trouble.

1252
01:23:35,660 --> 01:23:38,400
All the old flannel, right? But what
everyone come away thinking was that he

1253
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:42,220
was glad about what happened because she
can't point a finger at him and say,

1254
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:45,880
hey, you know, it took a few liberties,
right?

1255
01:23:46,180 --> 01:23:47,119
He's 19.

1256
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:48,300
She's just a little kid.

1257
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:54,120
Now then, now the geezer was Ivor
Fairfax Swan.

1258
01:24:08,650 --> 01:24:09,930
Has something happened? Is there some
news?

1259
01:24:10,510 --> 01:24:11,510
No, nothing.

1260
01:24:13,470 --> 01:24:14,470
Sorry.

1261
01:24:15,830 --> 01:24:17,050
I thought it was about John.

1262
01:24:17,270 --> 01:24:18,270
No.

1263
01:24:19,170 --> 01:24:20,290
I just wanted to talk.

1264
01:24:22,890 --> 01:24:23,890
Can you come to me?

1265
01:24:25,770 --> 01:24:26,770
When?

1266
01:24:40,650 --> 01:24:42,650
We'll need that coroner's report from
Cumbria.

1267
01:24:43,030 --> 01:24:44,030
Right, Gav.

1268
01:24:44,470 --> 01:24:45,810
Put me on to Mr. Burton, will you?

1269
01:24:46,050 --> 01:24:48,870
Oh, I'm afraid he's not around at the
moment, Gav. Oh, where is he?

1270
01:25:03,050 --> 01:25:04,050
Could you have stayed away?

1271
01:25:19,850 --> 01:25:23,190
You said when you examined the body of
Stella Rivers that there'd be no sexual

1272
01:25:23,190 --> 01:25:24,650
interference. That's right.

1273
01:25:25,030 --> 01:25:28,130
Did you know that Ivers Swan insisted on
seeing the child's body?

1274
01:25:28,370 --> 01:25:30,330
No. It's a bit macabre.

1275
01:25:30,550 --> 01:25:31,550
That's what I thought.

1276
01:25:32,430 --> 01:25:35,170
Are you absolutely sure there was no
sexual interference?

1277
01:25:35,590 --> 01:25:36,590
Absolutely. Why?

1278
01:25:37,590 --> 01:25:43,530
Because I have a prospect who became a
child's stepfather, so I'm told for

1279
01:25:43,530 --> 01:25:45,770
purely commercial reasons that child is
now dead.

1280
01:25:46,330 --> 01:25:47,530
And I'm told...

1281
01:25:47,870 --> 01:25:49,690
That he was the boyfriend of a girl of
11.

1282
01:25:50,390 --> 01:25:51,390
I'm cheesed at.

1283
01:26:07,090 --> 01:26:10,070
Company, send that reporter, sir. Two
minutes to find another computer.

1284
01:26:10,390 --> 01:26:12,690
Good. Spread the burden in. Have a seat,
sir.

1285
01:26:13,310 --> 01:26:14,310
God bless you.

1286
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:15,159
Thank you, sir.

1287
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:16,280
That'll be another one up with the flu.

1288
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:17,580
They should take vitamin C.

1289
01:26:17,900 --> 01:26:19,120
Thicker shoes and socks, sir.

1290
01:26:19,440 --> 01:26:20,760
Back and back, sir.

1291
01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:23,720
There's been something nagging me in the
back of my mind all day, and when you

1292
01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:25,800
said thicker shoes, I knew what it was.
Come in and lie up.

1293
01:26:29,540 --> 01:26:30,600
Thought you weren't talking.

1294
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:32,720
Can't call again.

1295
01:26:37,740 --> 01:26:38,880
Thought you weren't talking.

1296
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:40,960
Can't call again.

1297
01:26:41,620 --> 01:26:42,740
Can't. Can't.

1298
01:26:43,300 --> 01:26:44,720
That's what started me thinking again.

1299
01:26:45,100 --> 01:26:47,560
You remember the night that we were
looking for John Lawrence? The first

1300
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:48,539
night, sir? Yes.

1301
01:26:48,540 --> 01:26:52,340
You were organising a search party, and
you told a man that he ought to be

1302
01:26:52,340 --> 01:26:53,340
wearing thicker shoes.

1303
01:26:53,660 --> 01:26:55,460
I remember you saying it. That's right.

1304
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:56,980
He got a bit nippy with you.

1305
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,320
He said, I shan't help at all. That's
what he said.

1306
01:26:59,540 --> 01:27:00,860
I shan't help at all.

1307
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,380
Well, it's a common enough expression,
sir. Yeah, but I bet a pound to a penny

1308
01:27:04,380 --> 01:27:07,580
that the man you told to wear thicker
shoes is this man.

1309
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:13,880
from Stella Rivers when I topped her.

1310
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:18,160
Right, mister.

1311
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:25,040
Can't stay all night.

1312
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:30,260
Promise. You said I wouldn't keep you
from your children.

1313
01:27:32,020 --> 01:27:33,500
I wish I was coming back to you.

1314
01:27:33,980 --> 01:27:34,980
Yeah.

1315
01:27:36,260 --> 01:27:37,360
Like a jumble sale.

1316
01:27:40,220 --> 01:27:41,220
Tony?

1317
01:27:41,710 --> 01:27:42,710
A friend.

1318
01:27:43,070 --> 01:27:44,070
You should phone him.

1319
01:27:44,190 --> 01:27:45,190
He's about to clean the mirror.

1320
01:27:45,850 --> 01:27:47,110
I phoned him two weeks ago.

1321
01:27:50,470 --> 01:27:51,470
Is he a close friend?

1322
01:27:51,970 --> 01:27:53,330
Do you mean have I ever been to bed with
him?

1323
01:27:54,570 --> 01:27:55,570
No, no.

1324
01:27:57,650 --> 01:27:58,650
Would it matter that much?

1325
01:27:59,530 --> 01:28:00,530
It's none of my business.

1326
01:28:03,010 --> 01:28:07,590
Of course, if I was Faye, falling in
love with you, another man in your life

1327
01:28:07,590 --> 01:28:08,590
might make me feel...

1328
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:14,360
Insecure. There's no one.

1329
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:19,340
What's your house like? Not like this.

1330
01:28:20,060 --> 01:28:22,040
It's a smaller house on a housing
estate.

1331
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:26,160
Well, it's pleasant.

1332
01:28:27,300 --> 01:28:29,340
Three bedrooms, tackle garage.

1333
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,520
Not too many nooks and crannies to dust.
Gina's played about that.

1334
01:28:33,740 --> 01:28:34,740
She did the dusting.

1335
01:28:36,500 --> 01:28:37,500
Yes, she did.

1336
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:39,940
Not a very liberated house.

1337
01:28:41,930 --> 01:28:43,150
Very conventional, like me.

1338
01:28:43,730 --> 01:28:45,030
You do this all the time, do you?

1339
01:28:51,030 --> 01:28:54,130
Did you ever have secret dreams about
doing something like this?

1340
01:28:56,370 --> 01:28:57,570
Not far too starchy.

1341
01:28:59,390 --> 01:29:02,010
No, I had a very strong marriage.

1342
01:29:03,610 --> 01:29:04,670
No wandering thoughts?

1343
01:29:05,390 --> 01:29:06,390
But other women.

1344
01:29:07,990 --> 01:29:09,690
I never wanted anyone but my wife.

1345
01:29:11,440 --> 01:29:12,680
I'm very loyal, Gemma.

1346
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:17,960
You must have loved her very much.

1347
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:21,080
Yes, I did.

1348
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:25,400
She was very fortunate.

1349
01:29:28,020 --> 01:29:29,420
I don't know if she was or not.

1350
01:29:32,180 --> 01:29:34,060
I hope she thought so.

1351
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:37,560
I hope it was enough.

1352
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:42,380
I really thought we'd spend the rest of
our lives together.

1353
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:46,000
We'd bring the children up.

1354
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:49,600
Take long holidays together.

1355
01:29:51,580 --> 01:29:56,900
Just carry on in an ordinary, orderly
way.

1356
01:29:58,620 --> 01:30:00,080
The way life's supposed to be.

1357
01:30:10,940 --> 01:30:11,940
Any notion.

1358
01:30:14,500 --> 01:30:17,500
My child wouldn't have been allowed to
play in the street with his friends.

1359
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:21,100
He would have got beyond his fifth
birthday.

1360
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:40,140
Am I saving you, or are you saving me?

1361
01:30:41,480 --> 01:30:42,700
It doesn't matter, does it?

1362
01:30:44,260 --> 01:30:45,660
Holding on is what counts.

1363
01:30:47,900 --> 01:30:50,620
You had one of the search parties after
you to tell me Gemma Lawrence.

1364
01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:51,938
Didn't you?

1365
01:30:51,940 --> 01:30:54,640
Do you know the names of everybody that
was with you?

1366
01:30:55,180 --> 01:30:56,180
Yes.

1367
01:30:56,620 --> 01:31:01,980
George Crantock, Harry Deer, John Lomas
and Bob Rushforth.

1368
01:31:02,580 --> 01:31:03,580
Rushforth?

1369
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:05,600
I spoke to his wife.

1370
01:31:06,740 --> 01:31:08,240
How did you get to hear about him?

1371
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:09,860
One of your blacks found.

1372
01:31:10,750 --> 01:31:13,730
Sally came in to tell me about it, and I
left about ten minutes later.

1373
01:31:14,370 --> 01:31:15,370
Anybody with you?

1374
01:31:15,750 --> 01:31:16,750
Yes, a patient.

1375
01:31:17,010 --> 01:31:18,010
Who?

1376
01:31:18,190 --> 01:31:19,630
How badly do you need to know?

1377
01:31:19,850 --> 01:31:20,850
It's important.

1378
01:31:23,450 --> 01:31:25,550
It was Margaret Foster.

1379
01:31:26,230 --> 01:31:27,230
The rat?

1380
01:31:27,890 --> 01:31:29,090
You're pressing me, Reg.

1381
01:31:29,370 --> 01:31:30,410
Yes, I am, then.

1382
01:31:34,510 --> 01:31:36,890
16, Sparta Grove, Stoughton.

1383
01:31:37,450 --> 01:31:38,630
This chap, Rushford.

1384
01:31:39,850 --> 01:31:40,890
How well do you know him?

1385
01:31:50,550 --> 01:31:51,550
Hello,

1386
01:31:52,350 --> 01:31:55,550
can I help you? Yes, could I see Mr.
Rushforth, please? Certainly.

1387
01:32:00,350 --> 01:32:01,350
Mr.

1388
01:32:04,930 --> 01:32:05,930
Rushforth.

1389
01:32:06,630 --> 01:32:08,630
Inspector Waxford, King's Manor CID.

1390
01:32:09,290 --> 01:32:10,290
I have a word with you.

1391
01:32:10,450 --> 01:32:11,870
Yes. Come on through.

1392
01:32:14,010 --> 01:32:16,550
It's about the search party you joined
to find John Lawrence.

1393
01:32:24,350 --> 01:32:25,350
You're here.

1394
01:32:26,110 --> 01:32:29,530
I'd like you to take a look at this file
from Cumbria. It concerns a young woman,

1395
01:32:29,690 --> 01:32:32,010
Bridget Melinda Scott. I'd like to know
what you think.

1396
01:32:37,450 --> 01:32:38,450
You all right?

1397
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:40,360
Yeah?

1398
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:43,120
There's Mrs. Lawrence.

1399
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:52,180
Everybody on the list of friends she
provided has been checked.

1400
01:32:52,540 --> 01:32:53,620
All except only West.

1401
01:32:54,180 --> 01:32:55,180
Still away?

1402
01:32:55,300 --> 01:32:56,300
West Indies.

1403
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:57,740
Please tell her what she seems to think.

1404
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:00,760
Apparently she's famous for planning to
go to one place and then going somewhere

1405
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:02,820
else. Mrs. Lawrence told you that, did
she?

1406
01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:04,640
Telephone Miss West's manager.

1407
01:33:06,220 --> 01:33:07,220
Anything else to tell me?

1408
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:10,160
I think so.

1409
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:14,160
Oh, Mike.

1410
01:33:14,620 --> 01:33:17,000
Dora and I wondered whether you and
Grace would like to come to dinner one

1411
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:18,000
evening.

1412
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:20,400
Grace? Why me and Grace?

1413
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:23,440
Well, we thought it'd make a pleasant
evening. You like Grace?

1414
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:25,520
Oh.

1415
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,100
Well, you know, she lives with you
and... No, I'd rather not.

1416
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:34,060
Do you remember anyone else? Yeah.

1417
01:33:37,330 --> 01:33:38,330
I heard that.

1418
01:33:38,410 --> 01:33:39,430
I'll need your address.

1419
01:33:40,190 --> 01:33:43,230
Well, these are constables who organise
the house search. Yes, Sarge.

1420
01:33:43,610 --> 01:33:44,610
How are things going?

1421
01:33:44,830 --> 01:33:45,830
Pretty good, Guff.

1422
01:33:46,550 --> 01:33:50,390
We had ten parties of four searching
buildings and gardens. We've identified

1423
01:33:50,390 --> 01:33:51,590
all but three of those.

1424
01:33:52,050 --> 01:33:55,310
We handed out 100 probe sticks to the
people who helped search the forest.

1425
01:33:55,410 --> 01:33:58,830
About 40 of those have phoned in so far.
Good, good.

1426
01:33:59,150 --> 01:34:01,790
I want to know everyone who was on those
search parties. Everyone.

1427
01:34:12,010 --> 01:34:13,410
I know what's the matter with him, that
burden.

1428
01:34:14,350 --> 01:34:17,170
He's rude, a long talk, and now he's
becoming a possum.

1429
01:34:20,390 --> 01:34:21,389
It's Sheila!

1430
01:34:21,390 --> 01:34:22,390
Mum!

1431
01:34:22,870 --> 01:34:24,630
Dad, quick, it's Sheila's ad!

1432
01:34:27,370 --> 01:34:30,870
Don't you Hamlet?

1433
01:34:31,610 --> 01:34:32,990
Give your dog the best.

1434
01:34:33,390 --> 01:34:36,310
Let him chew on a new chew with Sawyer.

1435
01:34:36,870 --> 01:34:37,870
Shall we phone him?

1436
01:34:41,100 --> 01:34:42,100
No, she'd done that.

1437
01:34:42,420 --> 01:34:43,840
She did it months ago.

1438
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:45,320
Oh, blow me.

1439
01:34:45,860 --> 01:34:46,960
Will it be on again later?

1440
01:34:47,620 --> 01:34:49,340
Chap, who does the voice on it?

1441
01:34:49,860 --> 01:34:52,200
Is he the one who did that thing about
the Navy?

1442
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:53,599
Oh, I don't know.

1443
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:54,600
Oh, you do.

1444
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:56,140
He had a wig.

1445
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:58,780
It's like the voices for adverts.

1446
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:02,020
I can't believe what his name is.

1447
01:35:02,380 --> 01:35:06,940
I know his face, dark, he's got nice
eyes, but what is his name?

1448
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:09,000
Is she in?

1449
01:35:09,140 --> 01:35:10,500
No, it's her answering machine.

1450
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:14,300
Leave a message and ask her who the
actor is who does the voice.

1451
01:35:16,180 --> 01:35:17,180
You all right, Mitch?

1452
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,540
I've just had a rather disturbing
thought.

1453
01:35:22,220 --> 01:35:26,600
I want you to get me the telephone
number of a Mr and Mrs Ralph Edward

1454
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:27,600
Scott.

1455
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:31,860
Now, the last address I have for them is
28 Barrington Gardens, Colchester,

1456
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:35,660
Essex. If they're not known at that
address, you get back to me straight

1457
01:35:35,660 --> 01:35:36,660
away.

1458
01:35:36,780 --> 01:35:37,780
Thanks.

1459
01:35:38,059 --> 01:35:41,080
Morning. Morning. Just been through this
coroner's report from Cumbria.

1460
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:42,898
Uh-huh.

1461
01:35:42,900 --> 01:35:46,000
Well, it certainly proves that Swan is a
creeper, the first order, but it doesn't

1462
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:47,000
make him a killer.

1463
01:35:47,100 --> 01:35:48,100
No, it doesn't.

1464
01:35:48,600 --> 01:35:51,960
And it happened 15 years ago. Hardly a
pattern of behavior, is it? No.

1465
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:58,240
So, um, it doesn't make him a murderer,
either of Bridget Gott or Della River.

1466
01:35:58,460 --> 01:35:59,460
No, I know that.

1467
01:35:59,940 --> 01:36:03,340
Something suddenly struck me like a bolt
out of the blue last night. We were

1468
01:36:03,340 --> 01:36:04,520
trying to think of an actor's name.

1469
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:08,220
He does a voice on a TV ad. And I
thought of our hoax's voice on the

1470
01:36:08,220 --> 01:36:11,400
telephone. And I suddenly realised that
there was a possibility that I might

1471
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:12,400
have overlooked.

1472
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:15,739
Can it wait?

1473
01:36:15,740 --> 01:36:18,460
I think Mr. Westwood should hear this,
sir. All right, well, come in.

1474
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,800
This is Alan and Terence Baines, sir.

1475
01:36:23,100 --> 01:36:25,060
Can you tell the chief inspector what
you told me? Yeah.

1476
01:36:25,540 --> 01:36:27,540
We were part of the search party looking
for John Lawrence.

1477
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:29,440
We were coming home from work when we
saw the police cars.

1478
01:36:29,820 --> 01:36:32,020
We were in a party of three searching
the back gardens.

1479
01:36:32,380 --> 01:36:35,420
The other chap who was with us, I didn't
know him. But, as I told this

1480
01:36:35,420 --> 01:36:39,340
gentleman... He was small and was
probably wearing a coat with a hood.

1481
01:36:39,660 --> 01:36:40,660
That's right.

1482
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:42,960
Thanks.

1483
01:36:43,540 --> 01:36:44,540
Sir?

1484
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:49,500
That's what suddenly struck me last
night.

1485
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:54,320
That description exactly fit the man who
was seen watching the children by the

1486
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:59,540
swing. It also exactly fit the man who
joined our search party. He could be the

1487
01:36:59,540 --> 01:37:03,760
hoaxer. He actually joined us looking
for the child that he'd abducted.

1488
01:37:04,850 --> 01:37:07,710
Our hoaxer may not be a hoaxer at all.

1489
01:37:07,990 --> 01:37:10,470
He could be the man we want. He could be
our murderer.

1490
01:37:15,310 --> 01:37:17,670
Just one minute, just one minute. Just
one more thing.

1491
01:37:18,530 --> 01:37:21,650
We now know that the lock of hair that
we received was neither from John

1492
01:37:21,650 --> 01:37:22,790
Lawrence nor Stella Rivers.

1493
01:37:23,110 --> 01:37:27,370
We mustn't assume, however, that the man
who sent it is simply a hoaxer and knows

1494
01:37:27,370 --> 01:37:29,030
nothing about the disappearance of John
Lawrence.

1495
01:37:29,730 --> 01:37:33,550
Descriptions suggest... that the man who
joined the search party may be the same

1496
01:37:33,550 --> 01:37:36,450
man seen watching the children near
Fontaine Road.

1497
01:37:36,770 --> 01:37:39,830
And I think that makes him the same
bloke who's so enthusiastic about

1498
01:37:39,830 --> 01:37:40,830
getting on the phone to me.

1499
01:37:41,690 --> 01:37:45,510
Now, the descriptions may be
coincidence, but we can't assume that.

1500
01:37:45,830 --> 01:37:47,650
The hair is from a child, though, sir,
isn't it?

1501
01:37:47,870 --> 01:37:49,270
Oh, yes, could be the man's own child.

1502
01:37:49,990 --> 01:37:52,750
Or it could be a child near him. He
could be an uncle.

1503
01:37:53,090 --> 01:37:57,770
I don't know who he is, but I have my
own opinion about what he is and what

1504
01:37:57,770 --> 01:37:58,699
he's called.

1505
01:37:58,700 --> 01:37:59,700
It could be a barber, sir.

1506
01:38:17,620 --> 01:38:18,640
Hello, Mrs Scott.

1507
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:20,180
We talked on the phone.

1508
01:38:20,700 --> 01:38:22,720
I'm Chief Inspector Weston.

1509
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,120
My husband's resting.

1510
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:37,540
There's not a day goes by without me
thinking about her.

1511
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:40,220
The same for Mr. Scott, I'm sure it is.

1512
01:38:41,340 --> 01:38:42,340
Do you have children?

1513
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:44,640
Yeah. Two girls.

1514
01:38:45,020 --> 01:38:46,560
Yes. Well, you'll know then.

1515
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:49,460
Little loving thing she was.

1516
01:38:49,820 --> 01:38:51,000
The best one ever.

1517
01:38:52,300 --> 01:38:54,380
Just like yours are to you, I bet. Yes.

1518
01:38:55,700 --> 01:38:58,340
I'm sorry to have to remind you about
that terrible time. Oh, I don't need

1519
01:38:58,340 --> 01:39:00,900
reminding. I'll never forget her for a
minute.

1520
01:39:02,980 --> 01:39:03,980
She was only...

1521
01:39:04,639 --> 01:39:06,080
Eleven when she died.

1522
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:14,900
I remember Ivor Swan standing up in
court and just shrugging his shoulders.

1523
01:39:16,300 --> 01:39:17,780
I remember what he said.

1524
01:39:18,700 --> 01:39:21,860
The little girl, she annoyed him.

1525
01:39:22,380 --> 01:39:27,040
He sat there and let her drown and all
he could say was she annoyed him.

1526
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,840
Did Ivor Swan brought you out that tall?

1527
01:39:32,320 --> 01:39:33,320
Never.

1528
01:39:34,410 --> 01:39:36,870
He didn't even have the decency to be
sorry.

1529
01:39:37,970 --> 01:39:41,150
People said he could have saved her. He
chose not to.

1530
01:39:41,910 --> 01:39:45,150
But they still put it down as death by
misadventure.

1531
01:39:46,090 --> 01:39:48,070
It broke my husband's heart.

1532
01:39:49,710 --> 01:39:54,110
Swan walked out of court and drove off.

1533
01:39:54,350 --> 01:39:56,050
Not a care in the world.

1534
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:08,660
We couldn't go back home. We couldn't
bear to.

1535
01:40:09,100 --> 01:40:12,140
We didn't want to stay where we were,
but we didn't want to leave her.

1536
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:18,060
I have a niece who lives in your area.
If it hadn't been for her, I don't know

1537
01:40:18,060 --> 01:40:19,060
what we'd have done.

1538
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:24,220
Eileen came and collected her and drove
her to her house.

1539
01:40:25,420 --> 01:40:28,480
She's got a place not far from Doverton.

1540
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:31,140
1700's a lovely place.

1541
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:34,780
We'd taken Bridget there for holidays.

1542
01:40:35,100 --> 01:40:37,740
Oh, she loved it.

1543
01:40:40,140 --> 01:40:42,820
We've been there every year since then.

1544
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:46,860
Mr Scott said he felt close to her
there.

1545
01:40:48,260 --> 01:40:52,220
Well, I don't expect we'll be going
again.

1546
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:59,720
I couldn't prove it, but I'm sure it's
one that started him downhill. He'd

1547
01:40:59,720 --> 01:41:01,520
never been sick in his life.

1548
01:41:03,440 --> 01:41:10,000
after we lost bridget well he was ill
just before we left i got him here he

1549
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:15,620
seemed all right fortnight later he had
the stroke

1550
01:41:15,620 --> 01:41:21,400
i'm sorry to ask you these questions mrs
scott but they might help me with the

1551
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:27,880
current investigation well i can't talk
about that i hope you get him for

1552
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:28,880
whatever it is

1553
01:41:30,769 --> 01:41:36,450
Was Sir Swan friendly with any other
girls at that time when you were staying

1554
01:41:36,450 --> 01:41:37,269
at the hotel?

1555
01:41:37,270 --> 01:41:38,270
Young girls, you mean?

1556
01:41:38,590 --> 01:41:39,590
Yes.

1557
01:41:40,410 --> 01:41:41,710
Not that I ever saw.

1558
01:41:42,910 --> 01:41:44,650
Would it help if I said yes?

1559
01:41:45,290 --> 01:41:46,790
Not unless you had firm evidence.

1560
01:41:48,430 --> 01:41:50,830
Swan just loved himself.

1561
01:41:52,030 --> 01:41:55,710
He liked women, girls chasing after him.

1562
01:41:56,910 --> 01:41:58,870
He had two in tow with those...

1563
01:41:59,230 --> 01:42:00,430
friends he had with him.

1564
01:42:01,310 --> 01:42:03,550
They played pop music.

1565
01:42:04,470 --> 01:42:07,630
That was why Bridget first went over to
them. You can't blame her.

1566
01:42:08,830 --> 01:42:11,570
Only child, old parents.

1567
01:42:13,950 --> 01:42:18,070
When he let her die, he took away
everything we cared for.

1568
01:42:19,990 --> 01:42:23,930
Wish he'd killed us as well because
there's been nothing else in life worth

1569
01:42:23,930 --> 01:42:24,930
a damn.

1570
01:42:27,210 --> 01:42:30,470
A little old man by the window stood.

1571
01:42:31,470 --> 01:42:35,250
Saw a rabbit running by.

1572
01:42:36,690 --> 01:42:39,090
Knocking at the door.

1573
01:42:40,090 --> 01:42:42,750
Help me. Help me. Help.

1574
01:42:45,470 --> 01:42:48,630
We used to dress up a lot, John and I. I
made him laugh.

1575
01:42:50,750 --> 01:42:52,810
I was the character from the Red Fairy
book.

1576
01:42:55,370 --> 01:42:56,830
We'd dance around and make up stories.

1577
01:42:57,670 --> 01:42:58,690
And he'd hide.

1578
01:42:59,650 --> 01:43:01,930
And I'd find him. Don't do this, Gemma.

1579
01:43:02,770 --> 01:43:03,770
Why not?

1580
01:43:04,810 --> 01:43:05,990
It was a happy time.

1581
01:43:07,270 --> 01:43:08,450
I could dance for you.

1582
01:43:09,290 --> 01:43:13,630
Would you enjoy that? Gemma, stop it. Of
course, for you, it would have to be

1583
01:43:13,630 --> 01:43:15,630
Salome. Gemma.

1584
01:43:17,770 --> 01:43:18,950
Take those things off.

1585
01:43:21,590 --> 01:43:22,590
You take them off.

1586
01:44:57,960 --> 01:44:58,960
Mr. Swann.

1587
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:06,080
I want to talk to you about the death of
Bridget Melinda Scott.

1588
01:45:07,700 --> 01:45:08,700
Who?

1589
01:45:10,260 --> 01:45:12,180
Look, that was years ago.

1590
01:45:12,700 --> 01:45:14,100
A very unfortunate business.

1591
01:45:14,660 --> 01:45:16,940
I've been to see her parents. Keep your
voice down.

1592
01:45:20,700 --> 01:45:21,700
Ros is sleeping.

1593
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:25,000
Have you always had this ability to put
things out of your mind, Mr. Swann? It

1594
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:26,200
was rather a long time ago.

1595
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:28,960
And I should point out that I was not
responsible.

1596
01:45:29,340 --> 01:45:32,320
You don't take much responsibility for
anything, do you? The girl drowned.

1597
01:45:33,940 --> 01:45:36,020
There was an inquest. Death by
misadventure.

1598
01:45:38,140 --> 01:45:41,620
I'm sure it's all on record somewhere.
If you're interested, go and read about

1599
01:45:41,620 --> 01:45:42,620
it. I have.

1600
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:44,780
You don't need me to go over it.

1601
01:45:45,020 --> 01:45:48,000
She was 30 feet away from you. You
didn't even turn around to look at her.

1602
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:49,200
I thought she was messing about.

1603
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:51,120
So you did hear her shout to you.

1604
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:55,680
That's two young girls you've known who
have died.

1605
01:45:57,100 --> 01:45:59,320
How do you feel about that? How should I
feel?

1606
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:01,920
I didn't kill them.

1607
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:04,280
Sorry.

1608
01:46:06,380 --> 01:46:07,480
She wouldn't leave me alone.

1609
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:10,040
She was a kid. She had a crush on me.

1610
01:46:10,340 --> 01:46:11,340
It was embarrassing.

1611
01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:15,140
She even came into my bedroom one
afternoon.

1612
01:46:15,540 --> 01:46:18,640
She said she'd scream if I didn't let
her stay, tell people I'd tried to.

1613
01:46:20,420 --> 01:46:21,420
Well, I threw her out.

1614
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:24,500
I imagine you would have done the same.

1615
01:46:28,110 --> 01:46:29,910
She tried to swim out to my boat while I
was fishing.

1616
01:46:31,590 --> 01:46:34,650
I ignored her because I was relaxing. I
didn't want her bothering me.

1617
01:46:35,050 --> 01:46:36,090
That's all there was to it.

1618
01:46:36,730 --> 01:46:37,730
No, not quite all.

1619
01:46:38,610 --> 01:46:40,130
She was taken out of the lake dead.

1620
01:46:41,690 --> 01:46:42,970
Was Stella bothering you?

1621
01:46:43,770 --> 01:46:46,590
I mean, you only needed her to prove to
your uncle that you'd settled down.

1622
01:46:46,750 --> 01:46:47,750
That's how you got this place.

1623
01:46:47,950 --> 01:46:49,050
Who told you about that?

1624
01:46:49,350 --> 01:46:52,410
Once you had the place, I imagined
Stella had served her purpose.

1625
01:46:53,150 --> 01:46:54,510
She was getting in your way.

1626
01:46:55,150 --> 01:46:56,150
You're obsessed.

1627
01:46:59,020 --> 01:47:00,920
What you've got against me is me.

1628
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:03,560
You just don't like me.

1629
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:08,160
I don't go around beating my breast
about Stella.

1630
01:47:08,860 --> 01:47:09,860
You don't like that.

1631
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:11,660
I should be crying.

1632
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:13,100
Like you did at the inquest.

1633
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:18,600
Why did you want to see the body?

1634
01:47:20,180 --> 01:47:22,560
You were told there was practically
nothing left to identify.

1635
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:24,580
Because I thought maybe I would cry.

1636
01:47:26,380 --> 01:47:28,500
And if I cried, you would have believed
me.

1637
01:47:30,020 --> 01:47:31,260
You might have left me alone.

1638
01:47:31,660 --> 01:47:32,478
But you didn't cry.

1639
01:47:32,480 --> 01:47:33,720
You left that for the court.

1640
01:47:35,240 --> 01:47:37,520
How do you cry over a rotting lump of
dead meat?

1641
01:47:38,480 --> 01:47:40,200
So you did all that for my benefit.

1642
01:47:42,660 --> 01:47:43,760
I didn't want her dead.

1643
01:47:46,100 --> 01:47:47,100
But she is dead.

1644
01:47:47,620 --> 01:47:48,620
It's over.

1645
01:47:50,300 --> 01:47:52,660
Ros and I want to get on with our life
and enjoy it.

1646
01:47:54,620 --> 01:47:55,940
She's the only person who's...

1647
01:47:58,280 --> 01:48:05,260
what I am we've got each other that's
all we want oh I might not care enough

1648
01:48:05,260 --> 01:48:12,220
can't arrest me for that not caring is
not against

1649
01:48:12,220 --> 01:48:13,220
the law

1650
01:48:32,590 --> 01:48:33,590
And where are we now?

1651
01:48:35,550 --> 01:48:36,630
Where were you then, Inspector?

1652
01:48:37,810 --> 01:48:38,930
Don't know. When was it made?

1653
01:48:39,230 --> 01:48:41,510
Oh, that's been something about you.

1654
01:48:44,230 --> 01:48:46,930
The year I got a place at drama college
doesn't tie the line.

1655
01:48:49,230 --> 01:48:50,610
Do you ever want to go back to the
theatre?

1656
01:48:51,010 --> 01:48:52,770
I don't think the theatre ever noticed
I'd left.

1657
01:48:55,130 --> 01:48:56,810
I don't know what I'll do.

1658
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:02,280
Police groupie, maybe.

1659
01:49:03,860 --> 01:49:04,860
Sorry, bad joke.

1660
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:11,420
You use words like they were dangerous
weapons when you talk about yourself.

1661
01:49:11,900 --> 01:49:13,440
Well, you know me and my funny little
ways.

1662
01:49:16,260 --> 01:49:17,340
What time are you on duty?

1663
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:20,240
In an hour.

1664
01:49:20,980 --> 01:49:22,260
Don't look so hurt, Mike.

1665
01:49:23,700 --> 01:49:25,520
I say things. It doesn't mean anything.

1666
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:28,740
What do you want from me, Gemma?

1667
01:49:37,450 --> 01:49:38,450
What do you want from me?

1668
01:49:41,210 --> 01:49:44,250
I'd say I didn't think it would scare
you away.

1669
01:49:47,070 --> 01:49:48,210
Just be here.

1670
01:49:49,730 --> 01:49:51,850
I can't just be here.

1671
01:49:54,050 --> 01:49:55,050
See, I love you.

1672
01:49:55,630 --> 01:49:56,630
You don't.

1673
01:49:57,250 --> 01:49:59,930
You really don't. Believe what I tell
you.

1674
01:50:02,290 --> 01:50:04,570
I know. I mustn't argue with you. You're
a policeman.

1675
01:50:08,980 --> 01:50:09,980
Marry me.

1676
01:50:11,140 --> 01:50:15,620
I know we're very different, but there
is something that we've found in each

1677
01:50:15,620 --> 01:50:16,620
other.

1678
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:19,320
Isn't there?

1679
01:50:20,980 --> 01:50:22,880
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ask you.

1680
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:24,360
Well, not now.

1681
01:50:26,100 --> 01:50:27,980
Oh, God, I don't know how you're
supposed to do this.

1682
01:50:29,020 --> 01:50:30,960
I think about you. I can't stop.

1683
01:50:32,980 --> 01:50:38,100
I realise I know nothing about your
world, the theatre, your friends.

1684
01:50:38,880 --> 01:50:40,120
Something I know nothing about.

1685
01:50:44,740 --> 01:50:45,740
We kiss a lot.

1686
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,320
It's a very kissy world, like this.

1687
01:50:49,100 --> 01:50:50,780
I want to talk furiously to you. I know.

1688
01:50:54,740 --> 01:50:57,340
I don't know what I'd do without you,
but I can't.

1689
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:01,580
Don't ask me anything.

1690
01:51:02,020 --> 01:51:03,020
Not yet.

1691
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:05,680
It'd be loving.

1692
01:51:06,420 --> 01:51:07,420
Not in love.

1693
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:10,240
It's much less painful.

1694
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:13,400
For now?

1695
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:15,360
For now.

1696
01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:19,180
I've never met anyone like you.

1697
01:51:19,420 --> 01:51:20,840
Well, let that be a lesson to you.

1698
01:51:22,420 --> 01:51:26,040
You will at least consider what I asked
you.

1699
01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:27,680
Please.

1700
01:51:30,860 --> 01:51:32,680
Will you come away with me for a
weekend?

1701
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:36,000
Just to give yourself something else to
think about.

1702
01:51:37,620 --> 01:51:38,620
I've got an idea.

1703
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:43,640
All right.

1704
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:52,440
John won't be coming back, will he?

1705
01:51:55,820 --> 01:51:56,799
Afternoon. Hi.

1706
01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:57,980
The boss is back.

1707
01:51:58,500 --> 01:51:59,500
He wants you.

1708
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:02,200
Watch out, is it all right? Old temper.

1709
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:18,440
Right, have you started interviewing
these men yet? Yes, sir.

1710
01:52:19,540 --> 01:52:22,440
Well, the one we're actually after won't
be on here, the way things are going.

1711
01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:24,460
That's what makes it such fun, eh,
Sergeant?

1712
01:52:24,980 --> 01:52:25,980
Sir?

1713
01:52:26,040 --> 01:52:29,080
What about the list of Mrs Lawrence's
friends I asked for an hour ago?

1714
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:31,140
Mr Burden's the pal on that, sir.

1715
01:52:31,620 --> 01:52:32,620
I'll tell him to bring it in.

1716
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:34,760
He's, uh, not in, sir.

1717
01:52:50,810 --> 01:52:51,810
Afternoon.

1718
01:52:52,050 --> 01:52:53,050
Afternoon, sir.

1719
01:52:54,450 --> 01:52:56,250
Are you going to tell them the boss has
gone mad?

1720
01:52:57,830 --> 01:52:58,830
No.

1721
01:53:07,370 --> 01:53:08,690
I asked for this an hour ago.

1722
01:53:09,090 --> 01:53:10,090
It's at my desk.

1723
01:53:11,850 --> 01:53:13,730
Everyone except Leonie West has been
spoken to.

1724
01:53:14,130 --> 01:53:15,130
She's in Jamaica.

1725
01:53:15,410 --> 01:53:16,510
She should be back next week.

1726
01:53:16,970 --> 01:53:18,630
What about Matthew Lawrence? He's still
in France?

1727
01:53:19,010 --> 01:53:20,010
Yeah.

1728
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:23,040
And do you think he ought to come back
when he heard what had happened? No,

1729
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:23,938
apparently not.

1730
01:53:23,940 --> 01:53:26,100
Gemma Lawrence spoke to him.

1731
01:53:27,020 --> 01:53:30,680
His wife hadn't had the baby yet.
There's a choice between supporting his

1732
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:31,820
ex-wife and his present wife.

1733
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:34,300
What busy lives East Africa's lead.

1734
01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:35,560
He certainly does.

1735
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:37,400
He used to live with Lainey West.

1736
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:39,059
Three wives?

1737
01:53:39,060 --> 01:53:40,280
No, no, he never married her.

1738
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:43,940
When she couldn't have children, he left
her for Mrs Lawrence.

1739
01:53:44,260 --> 01:53:45,260
Lucky girl.

1740
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:47,240
Anything worth knowing about him?

1741
01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:48,880
I don't think so.

1742
01:53:50,260 --> 01:53:51,560
Father of the child, divorced.

1743
01:53:51,860 --> 01:53:53,980
I thought there might be something, but
the French police cleared him, so I let

1744
01:53:53,980 --> 01:53:54,419
him go.

1745
01:53:54,420 --> 01:53:55,420
Yes.

1746
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:57,440
Still from King John.

1747
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:00,020
Selling himself as a master of disguise.

1748
01:54:01,240 --> 01:54:02,240
Anything else?

1749
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:03,560
I don't think so.

1750
01:54:04,700 --> 01:54:06,120
How did the interview with Thuan go?

1751
01:54:06,660 --> 01:54:07,660
Badly.

1752
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:13,520
Here's a list of men fitting the
description of the person seen watching

1753
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:14,660
the children near Fontaine Road.

1754
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:19,530
A list of possible hoaxes or possible...
Kidnappers? There's people that need to

1755
01:54:19,530 --> 01:54:21,090
be interviewed before we eliminate them.

1756
01:54:23,690 --> 01:54:26,450
Is this chap Rushforth only because of
their business with the Crentock girl?

1757
01:54:27,810 --> 01:54:28,810
What do you mean?

1758
01:54:29,170 --> 01:54:30,710
Well, he frightened her. I told you.

1759
01:54:30,970 --> 01:54:32,110
You told me nothing about it.

1760
01:54:32,370 --> 01:54:33,550
I put it in my report.

1761
01:54:33,970 --> 01:54:35,010
What are you talking about?

1762
01:54:36,370 --> 01:54:37,630
I have no report from you.

1763
01:54:39,950 --> 01:54:44,710
No, sorry, that's right. I intended...
Well, I thought I'd mention it.

1764
01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:50,280
Rushworth was in an alleyway and Julia
Crantock ran away from him.

1765
01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:51,720
Happened to be nearby.

1766
01:54:51,740 --> 01:54:52,740
Where was this?

1767
01:54:53,360 --> 01:54:54,720
Near Fontaine Road one night.

1768
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:59,500
Are you telling me that Rushworth
molested a child? He frightened her. It

1769
01:54:59,500 --> 01:55:00,438
was a mistake.

1770
01:55:00,440 --> 01:55:01,740
If it's a description of a suspect.

1771
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:03,660
Let me tell you something, Wade.

1772
01:55:04,220 --> 01:55:06,880
You get your mind back onto your work
and off whatever else you're thinking

1773
01:55:06,880 --> 01:55:09,400
about or we're going to fall out in a
very big way. Don't speak to me like

1774
01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:10,400
that. I'll speak to you.

1775
01:55:10,740 --> 01:55:11,960
I'm your superior officer.

1776
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:15,320
The one that ordered you not to tell Mrs
Lawrence about that hoax letter.

1777
01:55:15,790 --> 01:55:16,950
You ignored that order, didn't you?

1778
01:55:17,290 --> 01:55:20,230
She was going to take a dick drag.
You're a police officer, not a social

1779
01:55:20,230 --> 01:55:22,710
worker. Patting her hand isn't going to
find her a son.

1780
01:55:23,370 --> 01:55:24,590
And let me mention something else.

1781
01:55:24,890 --> 01:55:27,390
I want to know where you are every
single minute that you're on duty.

1782
01:55:27,690 --> 01:55:30,670
And no more yelling at uniformed police
officers when they're doing their best

1783
01:55:30,670 --> 01:55:32,290
to trace you. And they can't.

1784
01:55:32,930 --> 01:55:33,930
You're a grown man.

1785
01:55:34,130 --> 01:55:35,130
Now behave like one.

1786
01:55:35,670 --> 01:55:36,429
It's set.

1787
01:55:36,430 --> 01:55:37,430
Finished.

1788
01:55:40,590 --> 01:55:42,770
File on the Stella Rivers case.
Rushford. Bob Rushford.

1789
01:55:43,370 --> 01:55:44,370
Find out if he was in.

1790
01:55:44,810 --> 01:55:45,810
Right, go.

1791
01:55:47,450 --> 01:55:50,810
Look, Rushworth lives two streets away
from Fontaine Road. Surely the kids

1792
01:55:50,810 --> 01:55:52,190
would know if he was the one watching
them.

1793
01:55:54,370 --> 01:55:55,430
They never went near him.

1794
01:55:56,270 --> 01:55:59,210
They only saw him from a distance of 100
yards, and everybody looked small enough

1795
01:55:59,210 --> 01:55:59,989
to dismiss him.

1796
01:55:59,990 --> 01:56:01,690
Well, yes, but... But what?

1797
01:56:02,230 --> 01:56:03,230
Got any better ideas?

1798
01:56:03,930 --> 01:56:05,190
You got any ideas at all?

1799
01:56:06,970 --> 01:56:07,970
May the 11th.

1800
01:56:08,190 --> 01:56:10,670
3.30, I was waiting for a client in
Sewingbury.

1801
01:56:11,050 --> 01:56:13,670
The client didn't show up, and after a
few minutes, I drove back to King's

1802
01:56:13,670 --> 01:56:15,070
Markham to keep my next appointment.

1803
01:56:16,330 --> 01:56:21,150
If he was drawing from Sowingbury to
King's Markham, he'd come into Tarleton

1804
01:56:21,150 --> 01:56:24,310
near Fontaine Road, and he started just
before 3.30.

1805
01:56:24,890 --> 01:56:27,410
He'd have been at Fontaine Road just
before John Lawrence disappeared.

1806
01:56:28,090 --> 01:56:31,830
And if he missed the second appointment
or was very late for it... Or if John

1807
01:56:31,830 --> 01:56:36,250
Lawrence disappeared earlier... I
interviewed Mr. Sutton.

1808
01:56:38,250 --> 01:56:39,250
He, uh...

1809
01:56:39,260 --> 01:56:42,080
I was told about the man watching the
kids. She didn't report it to the

1810
01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:43,080
police.

1811
01:56:43,800 --> 01:56:45,100
She was told about it twice.

1812
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:46,880
She made some excuse.

1813
01:56:49,380 --> 01:56:50,380
Yeah?

1814
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:53,560
Let's see.

1815
01:56:55,060 --> 01:56:57,540
Rock Berthwood never interviewed in
connection with the Stella Rivers

1816
01:56:57,540 --> 01:56:58,540
inquiry.

1817
01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:22,860
The man you saw watching the children,
are you sure you've never seen him

1818
01:57:22,860 --> 01:57:24,520
before? I mean, he couldn't be local,
could he?

1819
01:57:24,760 --> 01:57:25,760
Don't think so.

1820
01:57:26,420 --> 01:57:27,880
You know Bob Rushless quite well.

1821
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:30,160
What do you mean?

1822
01:57:30,320 --> 01:57:32,480
I mean you'd know him at a distance if
you saw him.

1823
01:57:33,780 --> 01:57:35,260
The man I saw wasn't Bob Rushless.

1824
01:57:35,740 --> 01:57:36,920
He was younger than Bob.

1825
01:57:37,540 --> 01:57:39,900
How long have you been cleaning for
Rushless and Dyson?

1826
01:57:40,980 --> 01:57:42,080
About three years.

1827
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:44,140
Do you know Mr Rushless long?

1828
01:57:44,620 --> 01:57:46,260
I've known him since we were all at
school.

1829
01:57:46,680 --> 01:57:47,680
Oh, good employer, is he?

1830
01:57:48,220 --> 01:57:49,220
He's a pig.

1831
01:57:49,530 --> 01:57:50,530
Oh?

1832
01:57:50,670 --> 01:57:51,930
Treats people like dirt.

1833
01:57:52,770 --> 01:57:54,650
Sells houses, thinks he's made it.

1834
01:57:54,970 --> 01:57:55,970
I see.

1835
01:57:56,210 --> 01:57:58,310
Likes to let people know you only work
for him.

1836
01:57:58,730 --> 01:58:01,730
The chap I know rents a cottage from
him. He treats him just the same. Always

1837
01:58:01,730 --> 01:58:05,610
reminding him about the rent in public.
Thinks it's a joke. Always a pig.

1838
01:58:05,990 --> 01:58:07,290
How much property does he own?

1839
01:58:07,830 --> 01:58:11,690
Well, there's a cottage in Mill Lane, a
shop somewhere in my fleet. Cottage

1840
01:58:11,690 --> 01:58:12,690
where?

1841
01:58:12,950 --> 01:58:15,510
Mill Lane. He rents it to this bloke I
know.

1842
01:58:16,130 --> 01:58:17,650
Rushford owns a cottage in Mill Lane?

1843
01:58:18,050 --> 01:58:19,900
Yes. Well, how long's he had it?

1844
01:58:20,240 --> 01:58:21,240
Oh, years.

1845
01:58:21,680 --> 01:58:23,620
He's always poking his nose in up there.

1846
01:58:24,260 --> 01:58:27,500
If you want to ask my friend that rents
the place if you want to know about Bob

1847
01:58:27,500 --> 01:58:28,980
Rushford, he'll tell you.

1848
01:58:35,340 --> 01:58:36,059
It's me.

1849
01:58:36,060 --> 01:58:38,480
Look, I'll pick you up on Saturday
morning at about nine.

1850
01:58:38,820 --> 01:58:41,040
My sister-in-law's taking the kids to
her mother's for the weekend.

1851
01:58:42,680 --> 01:58:43,900
She asked me to go with them.

1852
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:45,840
I'd rather be with you.

1853
01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:47,960
You do sort of want to come.

1854
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Yes. You're not too sure about it.

1855
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:55,060
I was thinking of you.

1856
01:58:56,540 --> 01:58:57,820
Being with your children.

1857
01:59:00,980 --> 01:59:01,980
Don't.

1858
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:05,360
If my son is dead,

1859
01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:09,820
I swear to God I'll make something of my
life.

1860
01:59:11,760 --> 01:59:12,980
I'll do it for him.

1861
01:59:16,400 --> 01:59:17,940
You won't have died for nothing.

1862
01:59:25,260 --> 01:59:26,260
You got a minute, sir?

1863
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:27,840
Yeah, come in.

1864
01:59:29,120 --> 01:59:30,420
I'm afraid there's no good news.

1865
01:59:31,020 --> 01:59:33,560
You've checked the men from the search
party who more or less fitted the

1866
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:35,120
description of the bloke seen near the
swings.

1867
01:59:35,980 --> 01:59:40,060
They've all got an alibi for the time
John Lodden disappeared and the time the

1868
01:59:40,060 --> 01:59:41,280
phantom phoner was calling here.

1869
01:59:41,660 --> 01:59:43,080
Yeah, I thought that might be the case.

1870
01:59:43,620 --> 01:59:45,580
I've checked on Bob Rushforth as well,
sir.

1871
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:48,800
At the time the calls were made to your
office, it was with clients.

1872
01:59:49,060 --> 01:59:50,540
What about the time when John Lawrence
disappeared?

1873
01:59:50,880 --> 01:59:51,619
The same.

1874
01:59:51,620 --> 01:59:52,900
The clients confirmed it.

1875
01:59:53,370 --> 01:59:55,870
I thought we had the man we were after,
sir, when I saw him drive away in his

1876
01:59:55,870 --> 01:59:56,870
car.

1877
01:59:57,170 --> 01:59:58,490
It was a maroon Jaguar.

1878
01:59:59,130 --> 02:00:00,330
We're looking for a red one.

1879
02:00:01,090 --> 02:00:05,370
So we're back where we started from.
Looking for a small, slight man who

1880
02:00:05,370 --> 02:00:06,610
should be wearing thicker shoes.

1881
02:00:07,090 --> 02:00:08,810
Could be our murderer or not.

1882
02:00:24,590 --> 02:00:27,270
Come on, Neil. You're late for your
dinner. It's getting a bit cold, Alan.

1883
02:00:27,470 --> 02:00:29,110
Certainly is. Thanks. In you go.

1884
02:00:40,390 --> 02:00:44,370
The search is continuing for missing
schoolboy John Lawrence, and people are

1885
02:00:44,370 --> 02:00:46,950
asking when the man branded the Fox will
strike again.

1886
02:00:47,490 --> 02:00:49,650
Is that what people are asking
themselves?

1887
02:00:50,110 --> 02:00:51,110
Some might be.

1888
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:54,700
But lots are still sending out their
children late at night to get chipped.

1889
02:00:59,460 --> 02:01:01,660
We're not doing very well, are we?

1890
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:05,220
We're investigating two cases, sir,
which may or may not be connected.

1891
02:01:06,400 --> 02:01:08,040
There's nothing straightforward about
it.

1892
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:17,220
We need an arrest.

1893
02:01:17,900 --> 02:01:19,920
I'm pursuing a new line of inquiry, sir.

1894
02:01:20,480 --> 02:01:23,420
But I don't want to go at it like a
bullet a gate. It might help our image

1895
02:01:23,420 --> 02:01:24,420
if you did.

1896
02:01:25,360 --> 02:01:29,300
Oh, perhaps I should adopt the American
system and arrest everybody in sight.

1897
02:01:30,340 --> 02:01:34,400
Personally, I'd rather nick the right
bloke. We're not nicking anybody.

1898
02:01:35,680 --> 02:01:38,920
I want to see somebody with a blanket
over their head being led into court.

1899
02:01:58,540 --> 02:01:59,540
What was all that about?

1900
02:02:00,640 --> 02:02:01,640
Headmaster's been to see me.

1901
02:02:02,660 --> 02:02:03,780
Must try harder.

1902
02:02:05,020 --> 02:02:06,020
Wants an arrest.

1903
02:02:06,620 --> 02:02:07,620
Any arrest.

1904
02:02:08,780 --> 02:02:10,360
Vengeance is mine, saith the law.

1905
02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:13,740
I wanted the word with you, actually.

1906
02:02:14,460 --> 02:02:16,080
Privately. Before you went.

1907
02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:18,140
Oh. Right.

1908
02:02:18,680 --> 02:02:19,680
Well, come along, then.

1909
02:02:26,700 --> 02:02:29,380
Grace said she wanted to take the kids
to my mother-in-law for the weekend.

1910
02:02:29,700 --> 02:02:30,720
In Eastbourne? Yes.

1911
02:02:31,860 --> 02:02:32,960
She asked me to go with her.

1912
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:34,440
Well, you should go.

1913
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:39,400
I know, but, um... With the boss banging
his drum and everything up in the air

1914
02:02:39,400 --> 02:02:41,480
here... Well, let me worry about that.

1915
02:02:42,480 --> 02:02:44,280
Well, you shouldn't have to.

1916
02:02:44,640 --> 02:02:46,340
I mean, we're all in it together, aren't
we?

1917
02:02:50,980 --> 02:02:53,520
I know I haven't been much help to you
over the past few weeks, have I?

1918
02:02:56,560 --> 02:02:58,380
I can't explain it to you. I can't even
explain it to myself.

1919
02:03:00,020 --> 02:03:06,800
Ever since Jean... It's all come
crashing down around my

1920
02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:07,800
ears. I'm sure it will.

1921
02:03:08,140 --> 02:03:09,220
What, your work?

1922
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:10,720
Everything.

1923
02:03:14,140 --> 02:03:15,800
I'm going to have to start getting my
work right.

1924
02:03:16,180 --> 02:03:17,220
I'll think about moving on.

1925
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:22,100
Grace is going to want to leave us soon
to get on with her own life.

1926
02:03:22,340 --> 02:03:24,220
Not necessarily. She isn't for me, Reg.

1927
02:03:26,640 --> 02:03:28,420
I know that's the plot that some people
have worked out.

1928
02:03:29,900 --> 02:03:31,040
Maybe Grace included.

1929
02:03:32,300 --> 02:03:35,100
Marry my sister-in-law and live
respectably ever after.

1930
02:03:38,040 --> 02:03:40,280
We're all trapped by what we are.

1931
02:03:42,020 --> 02:03:43,760
But sometimes you have a chance to be
different.

1932
02:03:45,020 --> 02:03:46,020
You see an opening.

1933
02:03:48,860 --> 02:03:50,040
A different way to be.

1934
02:03:50,740 --> 02:03:51,740
Is that what you're chasing?

1935
02:03:55,600 --> 02:03:56,820
I'll just be grabbing at more wreckage.

1936
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:00,880
It's clear as mud, eh?

1937
02:04:02,340 --> 02:04:05,280
I suppose I should explain it to myself
before trying to explain it to someone

1938
02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:06,280
else.

1939
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:34,780
I have to watch my P's and Q's in there,
Mr. Rushforth.

1940
02:04:35,380 --> 02:04:36,620
This is rental accommodation.

1941
02:04:37,180 --> 02:04:38,520
He could have me out like that.

1942
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:41,560
You don't like him much? I don't know
many that do.

1943
02:04:42,460 --> 02:04:44,720
He took a table lamp from here a while
back.

1944
02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:46,740
Didn't own up for a week or so after.

1945
02:04:47,580 --> 02:04:50,680
Same happened the day you're talking
about. I was at work when the little

1946
02:04:50,680 --> 02:04:51,680
girl disappeared.

1947
02:04:51,740 --> 02:04:53,940
But I know somebody had been here when I
got back.

1948
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:56,620
Rushforth, you mean? No, the door was
left unlocked.

1949
02:04:57,000 --> 02:04:59,960
And some apples I kept stored in the
shed had been taken.

1950
02:05:00,460 --> 02:05:01,940
A table lamp had gone as well.

1951
02:05:02,460 --> 02:05:06,340
And seeing as it was our term, I reckon
it was their son who'd been sent.

1952
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:09,900
A van driver remembers seeing a boy near
the Scottish.

1953
02:05:10,720 --> 02:05:13,060
About the time that we believe that
Stella Rivers disappeared.

1954
02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:14,920
It could have been their lad.

1955
02:05:15,580 --> 02:05:18,220
I'm pretty certain Paul Rushforth was
here that day.

1956
02:05:24,040 --> 02:05:25,520
Oh, my God.

1957
02:05:28,560 --> 02:05:29,740
I'm trying to follow you.

1958
02:05:30,190 --> 02:05:31,370
What's happening about me reward money?

1959
02:05:31,650 --> 02:05:34,570
Can I get in? I'm going down towards the
Social Security, actually. I'm not a

1960
02:05:34,570 --> 02:05:35,890
taxi. Well, I know that.

1961
02:05:36,770 --> 02:05:39,530
OK, has there been any, you know, what's
its developments?

1962
02:05:39,890 --> 02:05:40,709
One or two.

1963
02:05:40,710 --> 02:05:41,790
Any arrests in your thing?

1964
02:05:42,070 --> 02:05:46,430
Maybe. Oh, honey, cos I'm a little bit
brash at the moment and I thought, you

1965
02:05:46,430 --> 02:05:47,790
know, if there's any chance of reward
money.

1966
02:05:48,070 --> 02:05:49,430
I may have some bad news for you.

1967
02:05:50,570 --> 02:05:53,650
The man you named won't be arrested in
connection with the Stella Rivers

1968
02:05:53,650 --> 02:05:56,430
murder. This one didn't do it? No.

1969
02:06:00,750 --> 02:06:01,750
Why not?

1970
02:06:26,430 --> 02:06:27,430
Good, you're here.

1971
02:06:27,930 --> 02:06:29,090
I wouldn't see them alone.

1972
02:06:29,440 --> 02:06:31,560
But if there's an arrest to be made, I
want you in there with me.

1973
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:34,420
They might be protecting the boy. Or
they might all be.

1974
02:06:34,780 --> 02:06:35,880
Is it then, sir?

1975
02:06:36,580 --> 02:06:37,580
Well, let's see, shall we?

1976
02:06:58,860 --> 02:06:59,860
Mr. Rushworth?

1977
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:02,640
I'd like to speak to your son, Paul.

1978
02:07:04,940 --> 02:07:05,940
Come in, then.

1979
02:07:14,220 --> 02:07:15,220
That statue.

1980
02:07:16,200 --> 02:07:20,220
Oh, it was... We found it when we were
out walking.

1981
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:21,600
At Saltram House.

1982
02:07:22,420 --> 02:07:24,040
It would only have been vandalized.

1983
02:07:30,440 --> 02:07:31,440
Hello, Mrs. Rushforth.

1984
02:07:31,660 --> 02:07:32,660
Mr. Wexford.

1985
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:34,360
This is Paul.

1986
02:07:34,660 --> 02:07:35,660
Paul.

1987
02:07:35,980 --> 02:07:37,400
Just a couple of questions.

1988
02:07:38,280 --> 02:07:39,280
Sit down.

1989
02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:40,440
Thank you.

1990
02:07:41,980 --> 02:07:45,920
On the afternoon of the 25th of May last
year, Stella Rivers disappeared.

1991
02:07:47,100 --> 02:07:48,980
She was last seen in Mill Lane.

1992
02:07:50,260 --> 02:07:51,660
We now know that she was murdered.

1993
02:07:53,580 --> 02:07:55,140
You owe the court check, don't you, sir?

1994
02:07:56,960 --> 02:07:58,740
Uh, yes.

1995
02:07:59,500 --> 02:08:00,500
How often do you go there?

1996
02:08:02,320 --> 02:08:03,320
Well, now and then.

1997
02:08:05,520 --> 02:08:07,920
Were you up in Mill Lane on the 25th of
May last year?

1998
02:08:08,440 --> 02:08:10,180
Yes. Why did you go there?

1999
02:08:10,420 --> 02:08:11,420
Because I asked him to.

2000
02:08:11,940 --> 02:08:13,380
I drove Paul up there.

2001
02:08:13,880 --> 02:08:17,480
It was half term and he was bored, so I
asked him to check the place over and

2002
02:08:17,480 --> 02:08:18,860
collect a small item of furniture.

2003
02:08:19,800 --> 02:08:21,560
We all remember the day clearly.

2004
02:08:22,220 --> 02:08:23,920
We talked about it at the time.

2005
02:08:24,600 --> 02:08:27,020
We thought of coming forward, but there
was no point.

2006
02:08:27,600 --> 02:08:31,220
We hadn't seen anything, and besides, we
were out of the area before Stella Swan

2007
02:08:31,220 --> 02:08:32,480
disappeared. Oh?

2008
02:08:33,080 --> 02:08:35,800
How do you know that? Because my
daughter had just had a riding lesson

2009
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:36,799
with her.

2010
02:08:36,800 --> 02:08:39,820
We offered her a lift, but she said her
father was coming to collect her.

2011
02:08:40,160 --> 02:08:42,880
So the last time you saw Stella was at
the riding stables?

2012
02:08:43,120 --> 02:08:44,120
Yes.

2013
02:08:44,220 --> 02:08:48,140
We drove back down Mill Lane, picked up
Paul. Well, you've gone up to Auntie

2014
02:08:48,140 --> 02:08:51,940
Eileen's by then, haven't you? I never
went to Auntie Eileen's. I told you.

2015
02:08:52,180 --> 02:08:54,500
Paul, her front door was open, so don't
say you didn't.

2016
02:08:55,630 --> 02:08:57,450
We picked him up, drove back here.

2017
02:08:57,770 --> 02:08:59,710
I took the car back to Bob at the
office.

2018
02:09:00,010 --> 02:09:01,250
Well, you were at the office all
afternoon.

2019
02:09:01,930 --> 02:09:05,650
Yeah. Whatever happened to poor little
Stella happened after we'd gone.

2020
02:09:09,370 --> 02:09:10,370
About this aunt.

2021
02:09:10,510 --> 02:09:11,830
Well, she's not a real aunt.

2022
02:09:12,050 --> 02:09:13,250
We've known her for years.

2023
02:09:13,570 --> 02:09:15,510
She taught Paul to ride, then Emma.

2024
02:09:17,590 --> 02:09:20,030
You mean Mrs. Fenn? Yes, Eileen Fenn.

2025
02:09:25,070 --> 02:09:26,150
Have we got a result then, sir?

2026
02:09:27,330 --> 02:09:28,330
Yes.

2027
02:09:29,710 --> 02:09:30,850
Not the one I expected.

2028
02:10:01,260 --> 02:10:02,660
I wondered if you'd come back.

2029
02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:04,480
He died.

2030
02:10:08,300 --> 02:10:10,440
Oh, it's kind of you shouldn't have gone
into trouble.

2031
02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:14,200
This is Scott.

2032
02:10:16,060 --> 02:10:20,420
I've had various bits of information
floating about in the air for months

2033
02:10:20,420 --> 02:10:22,580
now. It's been a bit tied up.

2034
02:10:23,880 --> 02:10:25,680
I've been trying to connect two crimes.

2035
02:10:26,580 --> 02:10:29,400
I was wrong. It was a mistake. They were
separate.

2036
02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:35,720
When we last talked, you said that your
husband's latest bout of illness began

2037
02:10:35,720 --> 02:10:37,360
just before you left your niece's house.

2038
02:10:38,020 --> 02:10:42,520
Two weeks later, early June, you said,
he had a major stroke.

2039
02:10:43,440 --> 02:10:47,360
On the 25th of May last year at about
six o'clock, a friend of mine, a doctor,

2040
02:10:47,440 --> 02:10:51,040
was required to treat a man who had a
suspected heart attack.

2041
02:10:52,260 --> 02:10:54,100
The man was on Stourton Station.

2042
02:10:55,700 --> 02:10:59,420
Earlier in the day, a taxi driver picked
up a couple from...

2043
02:10:59,740 --> 02:11:00,740
Salton Lodge.

2044
02:11:02,140 --> 02:11:06,000
A house owned by Eileen Fan, who I
believe is your niece.

2045
02:11:06,320 --> 02:11:11,980
Yes. It was the taxi driver's fault. We
forgot one of the cases. He said

2046
02:11:11,980 --> 02:11:15,260
everything was in the boot. We realised
at the station, but he'd driven off.

2047
02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:20,120
My husband had to walk all the way back
to Eileen's house to get it.

2048
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:22,940
She was out with the children riding, so
we couldn't phone her.

2049
02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:27,220
It took him till nearly four o'clock to
get there.

2050
02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:33,420
He... Rested for half an hour before he
started back, but he shouldn't have done

2051
02:11:33,420 --> 02:11:34,420
it.

2052
02:11:34,500 --> 02:11:38,600
It was rushing there and getting soaking
wet coming back that brought on that

2053
02:11:38,600 --> 02:11:39,600
attack.

2054
02:11:40,840 --> 02:11:43,420
The van driver said he gave the man with
the suitcase a lift.

2055
02:11:44,420 --> 02:11:48,740
Yes, I believe he said somebody gave him
a lift, but he'd walked miles by then.

2056
02:11:48,860 --> 02:11:49,880
He was exhausted.

2057
02:11:50,940 --> 02:11:53,900
Did you know that Iverson had moved into
the area?

2058
02:11:54,460 --> 02:11:55,640
Had Eileen told you?

2059
02:11:56,500 --> 02:11:57,500
Yes, she had.

2060
02:11:57,950 --> 02:11:59,790
She wanted to warn us in case we saw
him.

2061
02:12:01,210 --> 02:12:03,470
He was living near there with his wife
and daughter.

2062
02:12:04,010 --> 02:12:06,330
Happy family in a big farmhouse.

2063
02:12:07,110 --> 02:12:08,510
Got everything he wanted.

2064
02:12:09,810 --> 02:12:12,710
My husband wanted to come home the
moment he heard about it, but Eileen

2065
02:12:12,710 --> 02:12:14,690
persuaded us to stay a few more days.

2066
02:12:16,430 --> 02:12:17,850
Until the 25th of May?

2067
02:12:18,650 --> 02:12:19,650
Yes.

2068
02:12:22,690 --> 02:12:24,530
Your husband asked you if I was a
policeman.

2069
02:12:27,240 --> 02:12:28,820
Why do you think I've come back to see
you?

2070
02:12:29,720 --> 02:12:31,900
Tell me you were arrested. I was swung
for murder.

2071
02:12:32,860 --> 02:12:34,640
I knew you'd want to tell me face to
face.

2072
02:12:35,840 --> 02:12:37,260
I read about it in the papers.

2073
02:12:38,340 --> 02:12:39,780
His daughter's body was found.

2074
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:42,440
He killed her too.

2075
02:13:06,730 --> 02:13:11,310
When Swan failed to collect Little
Stella from the roiding stables, she

2076
02:13:11,310 --> 02:13:13,850
must have decided to walk home, stand in
line.

2077
02:13:16,690 --> 02:13:20,550
She arrived at Mrs. Fan's cottage in the
pouring rain, hoping to phone her

2078
02:13:20,550 --> 02:13:22,710
father. Mrs. Fan wasn't there.

2079
02:13:23,990 --> 02:13:27,970
Instead, she found old Mr. Scott, who
had returned for his suitcase.

2080
02:13:33,200 --> 02:13:37,480
When he heard who her father was, he
grabbed her and choked the life out of

2081
02:13:37,480 --> 02:13:39,000
her. He probably didn't know what he'd
done.

2082
02:13:40,680 --> 02:13:42,000
He certainly hadn't planned it.

2083
02:13:43,060 --> 02:13:44,500
Must have been in a state of shock.

2084
02:13:45,280 --> 02:13:50,540
He knew the area well, so he took the
body, dug up the old system by the

2085
02:13:50,540 --> 02:13:51,540
fountains.

2086
02:13:51,780 --> 02:13:56,200
When I called on his wife, I reckon he
knew he'd been caught.

2087
02:13:56,740 --> 02:13:58,380
That's what brought on the last heart
attack.

2088
02:13:58,700 --> 02:14:01,320
Has she really no idea that her husband
killed Stella Rivers?

2089
02:14:01,600 --> 02:14:02,680
I don't believe she has, sir.

2090
02:14:04,219 --> 02:14:06,340
Coincidence. Pure coincidence.

2091
02:14:07,900 --> 02:14:13,100
Swan deprived them of their only child,
and 15 years later, Scott took his

2092
02:14:13,100 --> 02:14:14,100
revenge.

2093
02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:17,720
Only the innocent suffer.

2094
02:14:20,220 --> 02:14:21,380
Deprived of children.

2095
02:14:23,480 --> 02:14:24,480
Lanny West.

2096
02:14:42,140 --> 02:14:43,140
Oh, hello.

2097
02:14:45,860 --> 02:14:48,480
Gillian's gone to London for a couple of
days and I've been feeding the rabbits.

2098
02:14:48,880 --> 02:14:49,880
Where is she? Do you know?

2099
02:14:50,240 --> 02:14:51,500
No, but that block of yours might.

2100
02:14:52,340 --> 02:14:53,380
Him with the dark hair.

2101
02:14:54,800 --> 02:14:55,880
Great to actually hear, Grace.

2102
02:14:56,460 --> 02:14:57,460
Is Mike there?

2103
02:14:58,140 --> 02:15:00,020
No. He decided not to come.

2104
02:15:00,560 --> 02:15:01,560
I'm sorry, Grace.

2105
02:15:01,760 --> 02:15:02,760
Don't be.

2106
02:15:02,960 --> 02:15:04,500
I always get too fond of the patients.

2107
02:15:05,940 --> 02:15:08,480
Oh, he left a number in case of an
emergency with the children. I suppose

2108
02:15:08,480 --> 02:15:10,920
if they were taken ill, he'd find time
to be with them. Do you want the number?

2109
02:15:11,280 --> 02:15:12,280
Yes.

2110
02:15:15,720 --> 02:15:16,720
It's 018376470.

2111
02:15:16,900 --> 02:15:17,900
That's a London number.

2112
02:15:18,260 --> 02:15:19,260
Yes.

2113
02:15:25,620 --> 02:15:27,320
You checked all the flights for that
week?

2114
02:15:27,820 --> 02:15:28,820
Every one.

2115
02:15:29,120 --> 02:15:31,140
There's only two airlines who shared the
service.

2116
02:15:31,380 --> 02:15:32,780
The name wasn't in any flight manifest.

2117
02:15:33,340 --> 02:15:37,500
When you get to Covent Garden to see
that theatrical agent fellow, you might

2118
02:15:37,500 --> 02:15:38,500
try not to be too helpful.

2119
02:15:39,540 --> 02:15:41,060
I want you to scare him a bit.

2120
02:15:41,560 --> 02:15:45,580
Sir? Tell him we might be investigating
the murder of John Lawrence.

2121
02:16:23,240 --> 02:16:24,600
Is that the Russell and Cook agency?

2122
02:16:25,100 --> 02:16:26,980
Yes, it's the first floor. The door's
open.

2123
02:16:27,240 --> 02:16:28,240
Thank you.

2124
02:16:41,260 --> 02:16:42,260
Mrs. Lawrence.

2125
02:16:47,160 --> 02:16:48,760
I want to talk to you about your son.

2126
02:17:05,639 --> 02:17:08,520
We've since found that all that business
about going away is absolute nonsense.

2127
02:17:09,379 --> 02:17:11,799
We've checked all the passenger lists
and all the plates.

2128
02:17:13,200 --> 02:17:15,740
Excuse me, sir. There's a phone call for
you. Oh, thank you.

2129
02:17:16,260 --> 02:17:17,260
That'll be Sergeant Martin.

2130
02:17:21,879 --> 02:17:22,959
I don't believe it.

2131
02:17:27,459 --> 02:17:29,260
Hello? Sergeant Martin, sir.

2132
02:17:29,840 --> 02:17:31,080
The agent's never been there.

2133
02:17:31,459 --> 02:17:33,080
Well, he must have an address or
something.

2134
02:17:33,700 --> 02:17:34,700
To crow him.

2135
02:17:35,160 --> 02:17:37,879
It was a refuge I'd never wished to
invade.

2136
02:17:38,520 --> 02:17:42,020
Damn. Well, apparently Matthew Lodden's
had a studio on the river.

2137
02:17:42,500 --> 02:17:44,000
That's all been redeveloped.

2138
02:17:54,260 --> 02:17:55,299
Would you look at that?

2139
02:17:57,480 --> 02:17:58,959
I haven't been here in years.

2140
02:18:03,600 --> 02:18:04,620
Why are we going there?

2141
02:18:06,260 --> 02:18:09,559
Matthew sold the studio when we got
married. It's probably been knocked down

2142
02:18:09,559 --> 02:18:10,559
now anyway.

2143
02:18:16,120 --> 02:18:17,120
It was here.

2144
02:18:17,639 --> 02:18:18,639
Just where?

2145
02:18:19,180 --> 02:18:20,280
Matthew had the second floor.

2146
02:18:24,360 --> 02:18:25,360
Excuse me.

2147
02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:27,340
Police officers.

2148
02:18:28,360 --> 02:18:31,260
Is there anybody around here that has a
red Jaguar?

2149
02:18:42,250 --> 02:18:43,250
Not there.

2150
02:18:43,650 --> 02:18:44,750
You were right.

2151
02:18:46,370 --> 02:18:47,370
It's Gina.

2152
02:18:48,070 --> 02:18:49,830
In Cortisone's buttocks.

2153
02:19:03,910 --> 02:19:04,910
Lady West.

2154
02:19:13,770 --> 02:19:14,770
Are they still together?

2155
02:19:16,850 --> 02:19:17,850
No.

2156
02:19:19,309 --> 02:19:21,450
She's just trying to hold onto the past.

2157
02:20:02,000 --> 02:20:03,160
Just one little problem.

2158
02:20:56,220 --> 02:20:57,220
Leave it.

2159
02:20:58,420 --> 02:20:59,740
There'll be plenty of time for us.

2160
02:21:06,800 --> 02:21:07,800
It's over.

2161
02:21:09,720 --> 02:21:10,720
Yeah.

2162
02:21:15,320 --> 02:21:16,740
Would you come and visit us sometimes?

2163
02:21:18,940 --> 02:21:20,740
I think clean breaks heal the fastest.

2164
02:21:22,420 --> 02:21:25,180
Besides, I'd probably start asking for
more than you could deliver.

2165
02:21:26,910 --> 02:21:28,690
I'd never have made a policeman's wife.

2166
02:21:30,530 --> 02:21:31,890
You'd have turned a few heads, though.

2167
02:21:38,350 --> 02:21:39,350
I'll miss you.

2168
02:21:41,790 --> 02:21:42,930
I'm so glad to have met you.

2169
02:21:44,050 --> 02:21:45,050
The same for me.

2170
02:22:52,910 --> 02:22:54,490
You think Markham is looking very
pleasant today?

2171
02:22:55,370 --> 02:22:56,470
Very pleasant indeed.

2172
02:22:58,370 --> 02:22:59,570
He's moving back to London.

2173
02:23:00,430 --> 02:23:01,430
So I understand.

2174
02:23:01,970 --> 02:23:05,710
But... Is it?

2175
02:23:06,690 --> 02:23:08,010
Well, I keep telling myself.

2176
02:23:10,130 --> 02:23:11,850
She doesn't want Lenny West charged.

2177
02:23:12,170 --> 02:23:13,170
No.

2178
02:23:13,530 --> 02:23:14,530
Sad woman.

2179
02:23:15,550 --> 02:23:17,410
She wouldn't have done the child any
harm.

2180
02:23:18,630 --> 02:23:20,550
Just crying out for help.

2181
02:23:24,080 --> 02:23:25,080
How did you get on for her?

2182
02:23:25,780 --> 02:23:27,740
Something Mrs. Scott said to Iris Swan.

2183
02:23:28,260 --> 02:23:29,960
She thought he had a happy family.

2184
02:23:31,000 --> 02:23:33,600
Lovely house, wife, child.

2185
02:23:34,340 --> 02:23:37,580
And Mr. Freeborn was talking about
somebody who'd been deprived of the

2186
02:23:37,580 --> 02:23:38,580
child they wanted.

2187
02:23:38,700 --> 02:23:41,360
Now, I didn't know whether Leonie West
wanted a child or not.

2188
02:23:41,900 --> 02:23:46,600
But you told me that Matthew Lawrence
left her because she couldn't have

2189
02:23:46,600 --> 02:23:47,600
children.

2190
02:23:48,020 --> 02:23:50,060
Well, that sort of cruelty goes deep.

2191
02:23:51,300 --> 02:23:52,460
Pain turns to...

2192
02:23:52,710 --> 02:23:53,710
Anger and envy.

2193
02:23:54,210 --> 02:23:55,450
She was so besotted.

2194
02:23:56,050 --> 02:24:00,570
She bought the same space in the air she
had shared with Matthew Lawrence.

2195
02:24:01,350 --> 02:24:05,530
And he'd left her and Gemma miles
behind.

2196
02:24:05,990 --> 02:24:06,990
Yes.

2197
02:24:07,350 --> 02:24:08,730
I hope she's all right.

2198
02:24:10,250 --> 02:24:11,250
Yes.

2199
02:24:13,170 --> 02:24:15,950
Oh, sorry, sir. No, no, I shall do it.

2200
02:24:20,140 --> 02:24:22,200
I think you and I have talked on the
phone sir.
