[chattering]

We're not late, are we?

No, we're not due in yet.

Something for you, on your big day.

Thank you, Rose.

Bye.

Shame you've got no wedding guests.

Let's wait and see, shall we?

She-- she was asleep, fast asleep.

What time was that?

Just after half past 9:00.

What did you give her, to make her sleep?

It was something I got from the chemist.

I-- I took the pillow from my side of the bed, and I--

I held it down over her face.

I have this heart condition, you see.

I-- I haven't been well for some time now.

And she didn't want me to go first.

She didn't wanna be left alone.

She insisted that we did it.

And you agreed?

Oh, I always agreed with her.

I had to.

She was always right.

Karen Drew and John Leigh.

Is that right?

Yes.

And this is Mr. and Mrs. Burrows.

They're our witnesses.

Hello.

And are there any guests?

We're not sure yet.

If you'd both like to follow me,

we can finalize all the details.

Morning, sir.

Um, George Aston, did you get a confession?

Yes.

Wasn't exactly a victory, sir.

No, no.

The man is approaching 70.

He doesn't care what happens to him.

He's got no family, no close friends.

He didn't even want a solicitor.

We had to insist that he had one.

Surely you can't condone what he did, John.

Of course, sir.

I'm not condoning it.

Excuse me, sir.

Sir.

Hello, Lucy.

Sir.

I take it the prisoner is getting some help.

The social services are gonna decide what's best, sir. yes.

I expect they're busy tossing a coin as we speak.

Good.

WOMAN: Karen Drew, Yes.

Karen with a K. John Terence Leigh.

JOHN: Yes, miss.

WOMAN: Terence with one R?

JOHN: Terence with one R, yes?

WOMAN: Leigh is L-E-I--

John.

Where did they come from?

Out of the woodwork.

WOMAN: Would you all stand, please?

Lucy.

Breakfast or lunch?

Sir?

Then again, I don't see breakfast

meetings being fully appreciated in this particular force,

do you?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm not quite with you.

Strengths and weaknesses.

The future of selected officers with potential.

You're one of them.

Right.

So shall we say lunch tomorrow?

Um--

I call upon these persons here present.

I call upon these persons here present.

To witness that I, John Terence Leigh.

To witness that I, John Terence Leigh.

Do take thee, Karen Drew, to be my lawful wedded wife.

Do take thee, Karen Drew, to be my lawful wedded wife.

He's asked to see you.

Do you know what it's about, Joanne?

No, he wouldn't tell me.

But as his solicitor, I think I should be present.

Of course, yes.

How is he?

Well, the doctor's taken another look at him.

And what's the result?

He's still not in the best of health.

But he's fit to be detained.

Hello, George.

Everybody say "cheese."

Cheese!

Hurray!

Right, drinks, everything, it's all on me.

- Great. - I'll have a pint.

A pint, please, mate.

I'll have a gin and tonic, then.

Could use a large one.

- A large G&T. - Pint of bitter over here.

Pint of bitter and a pint of cider as well, please, mate.

Great.

I've had a word with the social worker.

She'll be coming back to talk to you again soon.

Why?

So she can speak for you in court,

tell them about your health.

With luck, you'll spend your time in remand

in the prison hospital.

Oh.

But you've gotta say a lot of these things

for yourself, George.

Joan sure would agree with that.

At the moment, you're saying nothing in your own defense.

There's nothing left to say, is there?

[inaudible]

I've been wanting to ask, how long

have you two known each other?

Oh, a very long time about, about three

weeks and three days.

So where are you going for your honeymoon, then?

We're going out to Black Scar.

Not the Steeple Hotel?

Yeah, that's the one.

I used to work there.

The cliffs got me down.

Oh, I love them.

I'm gonna do some very serious walking.

Do you know, this is the fourth wedding

I've been to this year?

There's food through here for the wedding party.

Oh, good.

But I like this wedding best.

I mean, it's better if you get invited, isn't it?

Karen, these guests of yours, who are they?

I've no idea.

You've no idea?

No, John and I arranged it like that.

Why does it matter?

JOHN: Karen?

I've only been thinking about the farm.

I-- I was wondering what was gonna happen to it.

You see, Joan and me, we--

we worked that place most of our lives,

with not much to show for at.

But at least it was ours.

You never know.

You could be going back to it one day.

GEORGE: Oh, no.

George, I shouldn't really be telling you this,

but a jury could decide that there

are mitigating circumstances.

That's right.

So when you go to court tomorrow,

why not plead "not guilty"? - But I killed her.

It could seen as manslaughter.

No.

No, that would be a lie.

I did what she asked me. I killed her.

Mr. Wycliffe, I don't trust many people.

I never have, but I trust you.

Would you come and see me if I needed someone to talk to?

Yes.

He did what?

He asked me to lunch.

The DCC?

Yes.

KERSEY: When?

Tomorrow.

Perhaps he just had a blank space in his file fax.

He wants to talk about the future.

Yours or his?

Mine, apparently.

I couldn't exactly refuse, could I?

[chattering]

Give us one of them pies, will you?

And another spud.

Don't wanna see this lot go to waste, do we?

Is he paying for all the food as well?

Yes.

Must be worth a few bob.

Is there gonna be a speech?

I shouldn't think so, no.

What?

I want to leave.

I don't think I can put up with these people for another hour.

There must be a speech.

They always have speeches at weddings.

Do you know something, I don't even know your name.

It's Marian.

All right, then, Marian, you make a speech.

Me?

Let's have a bit of hush, please.

Marian here is going to make a speech.

But I don't know what to say.

Speak up.

Well, I--

I just wanted to come to the wedding.

That's all.

Speech!

Why don't you leave her alone?

She's supposed to be enjoying herself.

Then why didn't you say something, whoever you are?

I'd like to say a few words.

To the bride and groom--

long life and happiness.

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

Thank you, Harry.

Bye. Hey.

Bye.

My girl, have a good time.

What an amazing place.

Yup.

Do you wanna come for a walk with me

tomorrow, along the coastal path?

No, not me.

But this is our honeymoon.

And who needs to go walking?

I do, you lazy sod.

If you knew me better, you'd know I'm

not a great one for walking.

Ah, but I don't know you better, do I?

I haven't had time.

One thing I have learned, you're pretty good at flashing

your money around.

Me?

Yes, you, in the pub!

Take it easy, will you?

I was worried, John.

You know, we didn't know any of those people.

Does it matter?

No, I suppose not.

Sorry.

John?

What's the matter?

Can't you sleep?

No.

Must be all the excitement?

Something wrong?

No.

Nothing's wrong.

Come on, come back to bed.

Good morning, Mrs. Leigh.

Morning.

[phone ringing]

Yes, Kersey.

Hold up a second, please.

Sir, how'd it go with Aston?

Remanded in custody for seven days prior to committal.

Didn't he get bail?

He didn't ask.

Hello, Mr. Leigh?

Mrs. Leigh?

[scream]

Who first reported it to you?

One of the cleaners, Mrs. Vassie.

Our local doctor's with her at the moment.

And you say it's one of your guests?

Yes, Mr. Leigh.

They only booked in last night, a honeymoon couple.

And where's Mrs. Leigh?

Still out walking.

She went out very early this morning.

I was up and about then, and I spoke to her.

Neither she nor her husband wanted any breakfast.

She also said she heard something.

Heard what?

Someone moving around outside in the early hours.

I told her it was probably a tradesman delivering,

but obviously I was wrong.

Those are the things that Mrs. Vassie found.

Right, thank you.

Look, I'm very sorry, but I just can't go in there again.

Got a call.

It's a place called Black Scar.

Local CID want us down there as quickly as possible.

Looks like it's gonna be a suitcase job.

So what about your lunch date?

Yes, well, I shall just have to cancel that, won't I?

Anyway, who needs to talk about the future?

[radio chatter]

Where's Mrs. Leigh at this moment?

Management have put her up in one of the main hotel rooms.

What sort of a state is she in?

Not good, ma'am.

Yes, well, we need to speak to her.

And I'd also like a word with whoever found the body.

Mrs. Vassie, yes.

She's in the staff quarters.

These were found here?

Yes, sir.

And the murder weapon?

Still looking.

We checked the car.

It's still locked.

They must have been disturbed.

The gardeners usually go down to the sheds about 8:00.

What time did Mrs. Leigh go for a walk?

It was early, sir.

About 6:30.

Any local criminals who specialize in hotel theft?

Yes, ma'am, a few.

But the ones known to me don't specialize in murder.

- One wallet. - Where was it?

It was on the pathway back there.

A maintenance worker found it.

Get a bag, someone.

There's no money in it, no credit cards.

But there's a driver's license with the name

of John Terence Leigh.

Sir, ma'am.

It was a Methodist Church, originally.

But times change.

Now it's used as an art center.

Folk music, jazz, that sort of thing.

I saw a production of Uncle Vanya

here once, by a local amateur dramatic group.

A full house, it sits over 100 people.

Do you do amateur dramatics?

No, no.

Not really my kind of thing.

But it's a great place for jazz.

Yes, you can almost hear the band playing, can't you?

Well, sir, is this all right for you?

[playing piano]

It's perfect.

[knocking on door]

Mrs. Karen Leigh?

Detective Superintendent Wycliffe.

And Detective Inspector Lane.

We realize it's a difficult time for you,

but do you think we could talk?

It's important.

I believe you left for your walk at about 6:30 this morning.

Is that right?

It was about that time, yeah.

Was your husband awake?

No.

[sniffling]

Here.

Thanks.

I know it's hard, Karen, but if we're

gonna find the person or persons who murdered your husband,

we must ask questions as soon as possible.

You do understand that?

Yeah.

Is there anyone we can send for to be with you?

A close friend or relative?

No, there isn't anyone.

I'm a long way from home, you see.

So where is your hometown?

Oxford.

I've been backpacking for a couple of weeks.

That's how I met John he gave me a lift.

I take it he didn't wanna go for a walk with you

this morning.

No, he wasn't a great one for walking.

WYCLIFFE: Did you see anyone on your walk?

No.

And you got back what time?

Um, about half past 12:00.

Karen, do you recognize this wallet?

Yeah, it's John's.

It contained a driving license with your husband's name.

Could you tell us what else was in it?

Yeah, money.

WYCLIFFE: How much money?

Um, I don't know.

You know, he carried a lot with him.

And all his credit cards.

We've been told that you heard a noise outside your room

this morning.

Is that true?

Yeah.

WYCLIFFE: What sort of noise?

Um, just someone moving around,

you know, walking along the path.

And what time was this?

About half past 5:00, something like that.

Did you look out?

Look, I think it must have been one of those people.

You know, I mean, I did warn John.

I told him not to flash his money around.

People?

What people?

All the wedding guests.

It's a hotel.

Vehicles come and go.

That early in the morning?

The outside kitchen staff drive in.

It's the only way to get here.

Oh.

Then there's trade vehicles, newspapers, milk, farm produce.

Well, you'd better make a list up, then.

Already done it, sir.

Must cost a packet to stay here, doesn't it?

I couldn't afford it.

I met him three weeks and four days ago exactly.

And where did you meet him?

On a road outside a service station.

He joked about driving coast to coast in 12 minutes.

We stayed together in a hotel.

In Penzance that weekend, we fell in love.

Even though you knew very little about each other?

Didn't seem to matter to John.

It was the way he lived his life.

He liked surprises.

Didn't he want to get to know you better

or meet your family or anything?

No.

Anyway, I only have my parents to worry about.

And they live in Oxford, do they?

Yeah. What is this?

Why should I have to answer these kind of questions?

All right, Karen.

All right.

Let's just talk about the wedding guests, shall we?

You got married in Penzance, is that right?

Yes.

We had to wait three weeks while the bands were read,

and we also had to be resident in Cornwall

for at least 15 days.

We got to know a couple who ran a pub that we used as a local.

And they were our witnesses at the wedding.

LANE: What pub?

The Wagoners.

But what about the guests?

Who were there?

Don't know.

But you must know their names, surely?

No.

John put an advert in the local paper giving the date

and the time of the wedding.

What?

He advertised for wedding guests?

Yeah, he thought it was a great day.

I mean, I didn't think anyone would turn up.

Who would?

And you're saying people did turn up?

Yes, five of them.

It's the police, love.

They wanna talk to us.

The police?

Why?

LANE: Hello, Mrs. Burrows.

Hello.

I believe you know a couple named John and Karen Leigh.

Well, that's right.

We were at their wedding yesterday.

We were their witnesses.

Why?

What's wrong?

I'm afraid John Leigh was found dead this morning.

- What? - Found dead?

What do you mean, found dead?

LANE: We believe he was murdered.

Oh, no.

Please, he-- he can't be.

All right, all right, love.

All right.

Why would anybody want to murder him?

For what reason?

We don't know yet.

MR. BURROWS: But that's terrible.

How can anybody--

Apart from yourselves, who else was at the reception?

Four or five people.

Did you know any of them?

No, that's a bit weird.

Nobody knew anybody.

What I don't understand is, what's

the point of inviting a lot of strangers to your wedding

and then upsetting them?

Who upset them?

MRS. BURROWS: Karen did.

She upset a couple of them, anyway.

Come on, love.

It was just a bit of fun, really.

MRS. BURROWS: Neither of them deserved this.

Do you happen to know, um, Karen's maiden name?

Yes, Drew?

Yes, Karen Drew.

Could you describe the guests?

We don't have to.

You took photos.

Oh, yes.

Well, Vicky?

All done.

Any idea how they got it?

I'd say through this door here.

It was off the latch.

Peaceful place like this, and on your honeymoon,

I suppose you don't expect the worst, do you?

No.

Well, it seems Dr. Franks is satisfied.

We'll arrange to have the body removed.

Terrible business.

Yes, Mr. Price, it is.

Poor man, and his poor wife.

They seemed such a happy couple, you know, full of fun.

We'll try out best not to cause

too much inconvenience to your guests and to your staff.

Thank you.

Luckily, we're fairly, fairly quiet at the moment.

Have you had any trouble here in the past

with people breaking in?

No, never.

Then, I suppose we're pretty lucky,

a bit off the beaten track, eh?

What about local people?

Well, they know their way here.

I mean, quite a few non-residents

visit for a drink, a meal.

Mostly, they use the-- the track road.

I see.

Thank you.

And this lot just turned up in answer to an ad?

Yeah, you'd think they'd have something better to do,

wouldn't you?

So you know what people say?

WYCLIFFE: No, what do you people say?

Oh, I do like a good wedding.

It's a shame, really.

They look quite suited for one another.

Blow-ups have arrived.

Good.

I'm due at the Path Lab in about an hour.

Where are we billeted tonight?

B&B down the road.

Oh, yeah, and I'd like a--

I'd like a full briefing tomorrow morning, 9:00.

Bloody B&B and we're working on a four star hotel.

I dunno.

The weapon we're looking for is

possibly a thin-bladed knife, approximately

15 centimeters in length.

Now, the PM report suggests that three,

maybe even two of the knife wounds would have proved fatal.

But there were many more wounds, which

suggests that, obviously, whoever it was,

didn't want the attack to end.

So we're not just looking for a thief.

We could also be looking for a nutcase,

someone who knew that they were staying

in that particular hotel.

Now, according to Mrs. Leigh, the stolen items

still unaccounted for are as follows--

eight credit cards made out in the name of John Terence Leigh,

about 1,000 pounds in paper currency,

one databank electronic organizer,

and one nine carat gold quartz wristwatch.

Lucy.

Right, well, we've been questioning

the hotel staff and the few guests that are staying there.

But so far, we seem to have drawn a blank on that.

Detective Sergeant Oren has been filling us

in on all local known suspects.

And I'd appreciate it if the rest of you

could give that some thought as well.

In the meantime, I'd like you to have a look at these.

They were guests at the wedding.

We don't know who they are.

We don't know their names.

We don't know where they live.

But we do know, because the wife of the deceased told us,

they sounded local.

Sarge?

Josie?

We know who this one is.

Hello, Donald.

Looking for another wedding to go to?

Jump in.

DONALD: I saw this advert in the Western Anchor.

I thought it was a joke at first.

And then I thought, what the hell?

It's not far, so I went along.

What were you hoping to do?

Wear a dark suit and run off with the collection plate?

It was in a registry office, not a church.

Of course it was.

Donald here's a bit of an impersonator.

You know, gas board man, water board man.

Knocking on doors, conning old ladies.

I went to that wedding for some free food and free booze,

and I got it, all right?

Where were you early yesterday morning, Mr. Mason?

Depends on what you mean by early.

Let's say between 6:30 and 9:30 AM.

I was getting ready for work.

I had this job for a while, debt collector.

I did.

Some garage owner I know.

Only I packed it in yesterday afternoon,

because the money was no good. I got into debt.

Is there anyone that can confirm that you were at home

at that time yesterday morning?

Yeah, my mum.

Your mum.

I live with my mum.

Well, what is all this?

What's happened?

Well, the man that was kind enough

to ask you to his wedding has been murdered.

Murdered?

Bloody hell.

Come on, Mr. Oren, you know me.

That's not my kind of thing.

Yes, Donald, I know.

What about the other people?

What other people?

The other wedding guests.

Did you know them?

No, I never seen 'em before.

Did you talk to them?

Of course I talked to them.

I didn't just stand around like a plum, did I?

Did you get their names?

No.

But I know where one of them lives.

RALPH (ON PHONE): Collator's office.

Hello, Ralph?

RALPH (ON PHONE): Speaking.

Hi, it's DI Lane. RALPH (ON PHONE): Hello, ma'am.

Hi.

Thanks for that information on John Leigh.

Could you do something else for me?

Can you hold on a sec?

Yes?

We think we may have found the murder weapon, ma'am.

Ralph, I'm gonna get right back to you.

OK.

We were pretty pissed when we came out of the pub

so we got a taxi.

Who's "we"?

Me and the little feller and this woman.

Well, what about the other two guests?

The weird couple?

Yeah.

No, they drove off in a pickup.

We dropped the woman off at her home, and later I got out,

and the little fella carried on.

He was paying for the taxi.

Any idea where he was going to?

Yeah, back to his boat.

Said he was working as a trawlerman,

that he was sailing that night.

[chuckling]

The amount of booze he put away, I hope

he wasn't steering the thing.

Thanks, Mr. Mason. We'll be in touch.

How many trawlers set sail last night?

I'll find out, sir.

This way, ma'am.

[radio chatter]

It was out of sight, but you couldn't

exactly say it was hidden.

It's in there, ma'am.

Just an old kitchen knife nobody wanted.

It was a bit worn, but we used it for odd jobs

around the garden.

Where's it normally kept?

In the shed, with the rest of the tools.

Has anything else gone missing out of your shed?

Yeah, a set of overalls.

[doorbell rings]

Good morning, I'm Detective Inspector Kersey.

This is Detective Superintendent Wycliffe.

Police?

You're the police?

KERSEY: Yes.

Good heavens.

You think we might come in?

Yes, of course you can!

Come in.

And your name is?

Marian.

Marion Pearce.

Well, we hope we're not disturbing you, Mrs. Pearce.

Miss.

No, you're not disturbing me.

I wasn't doing anything in particular.

May we sit down?

Yes, of course you can.

Please, sit down.

Thank you.

Oh, can I get you something?

Tea or something, coffee?

No, no, no.

Thank you.

Miss Pearce, we believe you went to a wedding the day

before yesterday, here at the town hall?

Yes, I did.

It was lovely.

Not many people mind, but it was the best

wedding I've ever been to.

You go to a lot of weddings, do you, Miss Pearce?

Yes, when I can.

The other guests, did you know them?

No.

Is something wrong?

Yes, uh, the bridegroom, John Leigh, was killed yesterday.

Oh, no!

Where?

Up at Black Scar?

They said they were going to Black Scar.

What happened?

Did he fall?

I mean, it's beautiful up there, but it's dangerous.

I've heard the cliffs are dangerous.

We have reason to believe that John Leigh was murdered.

Murdered?

And you want to question me, is that it?

No, Miss Pearce.

We're hoping you can help us.

Yes, well, I don't want to say anymore.

I'm sorry?

I said, I don't want to say anymore, and I don't have to!

Why don't you want to tell us anymore, Miss Pearce?

Because I did it.

I killed him.

Why did you kill him?

They made fun of me at the wedding.

They had no right to do that.

How did you kill him, Miss Pearce?

MARIAN: I went over there, didn't I?

To Black Scar?

KERSEY: Did you drive there?

I caught a bus.

And then I saw him standing at the top of the cliff.

So I walked up behind him, and I pushed him.

And he fell off the cliff.

Thank you, Miss Pearce.

Was that it?

Don't you want to ask me any more questions?

Not for the moment, thank you.

Oh, about Mrs. Leigh?

What about her?

Well, perhaps you know, when the time is right,

could you put in a quiet word for me?

I mean, she's bound to need people at the funeral.

Thank you.

WOMAN: Ron!

SOCO reckons the handle's probably been wiped of prints.

Yeah.

We'd best send it off to the lab.

What about the overalls?

Haven't been found yet.

And yet this has, all too easily.

That's what I don't understand.

It's like the mobile phone and the car keys.

It's almost as if they've been left for someone to find.

Could have been dropped.

Well, you'd notice if you dropped your mobile phone,

wouldn't you? - Yeah.

Right?

Just had a CRO check done.

That's the result.

The harbormaster says four trawlers sailed last night,

sir. - Right.

Than radio them with a description, will you?

Yes, sir, but I've had a call from one of my colleagues.

The last of the wedding guests has come forward.

Of their own free will?

Yes, sir.

They called from the coast road up by Longman's.

They're waiting for us there now.

I told Ron to stay behind and keep an eye on it.

What have you found?

A bag with some things in it, bloodstained things.

There's a name on some cards and things.

We recognized the name from the wedding.

There was some money, lots of money.

You see, we may be poor, but we're honest.

Always have been.

And that's probably why we've stayed poor.

It's in there.

Could we talk somewhere, Mr. Price?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Please, come this way.

I-- I believe that Mrs. Leigh is all set to leave

us, which is understandable.

It must be very upsetting for her to stay here.

Is she up in her room?

No.

No, she's outside, getting some air, she said.

When you spoke to her early yesterday

morning, before she went off on her walk, what was she wearing?

Um, jeans, a jacket thing, boots.

Can you recall anything else?

Yes, her-- her t-shirt was unusual.

I say, the wording on the t-shirt was unusual.

"Life can't hurt us."

Yes, that was it.

What is it, some kind of motto I suppose, is it?

Was this the sort of t-shirt she was wearing?

Yes, it was.

His and hers.

Karen, I hear you've decided to leave.

Oh, yeah.

If-- if that's all right with you, I--

I thought I'd get a room in Penzance.

You know.

sort out the funeral and everything.

I don't really want to be here any longer.

Could we just ask you about your walk yesterday morning?

You said you left at 6:30, is that right?

Yeah.

It couldn't have been a little bit later, could it?

Maybe an hour, even more? - No, no.

Ask the manager.

He saw me.

I spoke to him.

How far did you walk?

Um, I went as far as Clearwater.

Why?

Did you pass the undercliff by Longman's Cove?

Yes, I did.

Did you stop there?

I may have done.

It was-- it was a long walk.

I took a lot of breaks.

And what's the matter?

Would you come with us, please, Karen?

Come with you?

Where?

We believe we've found your husband's property

and we'd like you to identify it.

MAN: Yeah, I'll pass that one.

Yeah, thank you.

Bye.

Is there a solicitor you know?

No.

Anyway, why should I need a solicitor?

This way.

KERSEY: Sir.

His, is it?

Yeah.

Oh, by the way, I just got a call from HQ.

Yeah?

They've heard from the prison hospital.

George Aston's asked to see you.

OK, I'll look in on him later.

OK.

I'm showing Karen Leigh eight credit

cards and some paper currency.

Do you recognize these?

Yeah, they're John's credit cards.

And the money?

Yes, well, I suppose that must be his money as well.

Do you know how much money's there?

No.

Just over 3,000 pounds in cash.

I take it you knew how much your husband was worth?

Not really, no.

Things like that aren't important to me.

It wasn't a fortune, but then again, he

wasn't exactly short of money.

He owned two gambling houses on the south coast.

Not quite the West End, but near enough.

That makes sense.

His whole approach to life was a gamble.

These were found at Longman's Cove.

Did you intend going back there maybe, when things

had quietened down a bit?

If I didn't know they were there, how could I?

I'm showing Karen Leigh one set of bloodstained overalls.

Do you recognize these overalls?

No.

Did you take these overalls together

with the knife from the hotel gardens yesterday morning?

No!

From what we can make out, your husband

liked to sail pretty close to the wind,

but he never got into trouble with the police.

Good for him.

LANE: How about you?

Have you ever been in trouble?

Never.

As a child, you received a caution under the Children's

and Young Persons Act for causing actual bodily

harm to a school friend.

Do you remember that?

No, it was too long ago.

OK, we'll try something a little more recent

then, shall we?

Two years ago, at Oxford County Court,

you were sentenced to 28 days in prison,

suspended for six months, providing

you sought psychiatric help.

Is that right?

Would you like to tell us about that?

I don't think so, no.

OK, I'll remind you.

Your parents lived in fear of you

and were concerned for their own safety.

You breached a court order that banned you

from going within 25 yards of their house, their own home,

the house they brought you up in.

They didn't want you there, did they, Karen?

They didn't want you anywhere near them.

Right, so I don't get on with my parents.

So what?

And a lot of people don't.

The report says that you threatened to kill them.

What did they do to deserve that?

Shouldn't have interfered, should they?

Interfered?

In what?

They got to know a boyfriend of mine once.

What are you saying?

That your parents didn't like him?

No, I'm saying they got too close to him.

And they warned him about me.

And after that, he stayed away.

He was lucky.

John Leigh wasn't so lucky, was he?

Do you know what's wrong with this world?

No, do tell us.

There's too many people trying to control us.

You're doing it right now.

That's--

What was that?

That's why I went on the road.

WYCLIFFE: To get away from all that.

To get away from everything.

And John Leigh, did he also try to control you?

Do you know something?

When I first saw him, I thought he

was the one person I'd been looking for all my life,

someone just like me.

Showing Karen Leigh a third exhibit.

Bloodstained t-shirt.

The hotel manager told us he saw you wearing

a t-shirt, this color, this lettering on it, 6:30 yesterday

morning.

Is this yours, Karen?

It was-- it was my wedding present.

One for each of us.

In the middle of the night, he said it was over.

He said it had all been fun, but now it was over.

Time for him to move on, he said.

No one does that to me.

So I went back to sleep, and I went for my walk at 6:30.

And I waited by the clifftops.

Then came back through the garden.

I found the knife and the overalls.

Put the overalls on.

When I went back into the lodge, he was still asleep.

I stabbed him then.

I didn't stop stabbing him.

Do you know what his real problem was?

No, what was it?

For once in his life, he picked the wrong person

to play games with.

All done, then?

Yup.

I just got another call from HQ about George Aston.

Oh, yeah.

I better go and see him.

Apparently-- apparently, it was yesterday

when he asked to see you.

The hospital took quite a while getting my message through.

I'm afraid he was-- he was found dead earlier this morning.

His heart just gave out, they say.

It's probably the best thing, really, wasn't it?

I'll finish up in there, OK?
