[ Siren wailing ]

What have we got?

Body of an elderly man.

Found at the bottom
of the stairs

by the officers
who attended the scene.

What brought them here?

A 999 call from a male
just after 8:00 a.m.

He didn't leave a name.
And he didn't hang around.

The medical examiner
estimates time of death

as between 9:00 p.m.
and midnight last night.

Ah, his position
is in keeping with a fall.

ROB: Yeah.

But you better
take a look at this.

Blood on the countertop
and on the floor.

Some sort of fight?

BILLIE:
There's something else.

Upstairs.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

It's possible the fight
started up here.

Yeah, the paint's chipped here,

and those scratch marks
look fresh.

ROB:
Found some post.

Major Leonard Miller.

Well, there's signs
of a disturbance here.

The bedside table's
toppled over,

the scratch marks
on the frame and on the wall.

Can you check the victim
for broken fingernails?

Yeah.

999 call.

MAN:
He's dead.

He -- He -- He's dead.
H-He's not breathing.

DISPATCHER:
Can you tell me where you are?

MAN:
31 Elvington Gardens.

-DISPATCHER: What's your name?
-MAN: No. No.

Uh, just -- just come.

He sounds young.

And scared.

The SOCO manager's confirmed

that the victim's fingernails
are damaged

and that there's remnants of
white paint under some of them.

That's consistent
with the scratches.

So, it's possible that he
was dragged from his bedroom

-to the top of the stairs.
-ROB: And pushed down.

I reckon we can rule out
natural causes.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Hello?

Uh, it's Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.

Can I ask who's calling?

Okay, right.

[ Whispering ]
It's the daughter.

Uh, I'm sorry, but I have
some difficult news for you.

I'm sorry that you had to hear
about your dad over the phone.

I can't get my head around it.

I don't understand.
Did he fall?

We're still trying to ascertain
how it happened.

Who found him?

We don't know yet.

The person who called 999
left the scene.

It's a lot to take in.

There were indications
of a disturbance.

A d-disturbance?

What, someone broke in?

Well he's ex-army.
He would have fought back.

Do you think
that's why they killed him?

[ Sobs ]

Let's go in, take a seat.

When did you last have contact
with your dad?

Yesterday.

BILLIE:
What time?

Um, early evening, about 6:00.

I took some shopping 'round.

And how did he seem?

Fine.

How long did you stay?

About half an hour.

We had an argument.

What was that about?

Oh, um...

Nothing important, really.

I was having a go at him
for eating out-of-date food.

Stupid.

When you left your dad's,
where did you go?

Um, to work.

I've got a couple
of cleaning jobs.

Is there anyone else who needs
to be informed about your dad?

Um, I'm an only child.

It's just me, my son,
and my daughter.

My husband, Malcolm,
was army, as well.

He was killed in action
four years ago.

How old are your kids?

Caleb's 18.
Um, India's 5.

And were Caleb
and your dad close?

Yeah.

I mean, Caleb's a typical
teenager, you know.

You've got to nag him
to go 'round.

Yeah. [ Sniffles ]
Yeah, they're close.

[ Sobbing ]

Oh.

Oh, God.

If Dad could see me now,
he would not be impressed.

Didn't have much time for tears.

[ Sobbing continues ]

VIVIENNE:
What do you reckon?

Not what I was expecting --
single mum, two cleaning jobs.

Yeah, and there's her dad in
a detached five-bedroom house.

Have you told
the detective inspector yet?

About the CCTV?

VIVIENNE:
No, not yet.

I'll do it when we get back.

83-year-old
Major Leonard Miller.

His wife, Anne,
died nine years ago.

His daughter, Kathy Lawrence,
appears to be his main carer.

Uh, she doesn't recognize
the 999 caller.

Postmortem indicates injuries

consistent with
falling down the stairs

but also injuries
indicating strangulation.

So, he was strangled
andpushed down the stairs?

That's how it's looking.

What about the blood
in the kitchen?

They didn't find any cuts
on the victim's body.

I've just been talking
to the lab.

SOCOs have found a fingermark

in the blood spatter
in the kitchen.

They've got a match, too.

-Who with?
-A Caleb Lawrence.

He's on the system because of
a juvenile caution for affray.

Any relation to Kathy Lawrence?

Yeah.
He's her son.

And did she tell you he went
to see his granddad last night?

No.
She didn't.

So just take a seat,
fill out this form.

And, uh, b-bring it back to me
when you're finished, yeah?

What are you doing here?

It's about Granddad.

The police don't know
how he died?

They just said there was
some sort of disturbance.

What have you done?

Nothing, nothing.
I-I did it last night.

I had a --
I had a few pints with the lads.

Did you go and see Granddad
last night?

You said you were going to.

Hello, Kathy.

Is this your son, Caleb?

Yeah.
I've just told him.

We're sorry for your loss.

Do you mind if I ask you
a question Caleb?

Somewhere a bit more private?

Through there?

Yeah.

Did you visit
your grandfather last night?

No.

In that case, Caleb Lawrence,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the murder
of Leonard Miller.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention
when questioned...

What, you actually think
that I killed my granddad?

-You said it was burglars!
-I never laid a finger on him.

...may be given in evidence.
Do you understand?

Step back, Mrs. Lawrence.

Do you know where your son
was last night?

Look, this is his granddad
we're talking about.

Caleb loved him.

There's no way
he'd do him any harm!

[ Knock on door ]

We have a problem.

Professional or personal?

Both.

The other night...

we were seen.

[ Sighs ]

How did you get this?

Uh, Billie.

She's got a friend who works
in the control room

at London Central.

Who else has seen it?

That's what Billie's friend's
trying to find out.

I know the superintendent there.
I could give him a ring.

Won't that just bring more
attention, make things worse?

So, you think
we should do nothing?

Billie's friend is trying
to shut it down.

I think our only option is to --
to wait and hope she succeeds.

Look, I only just got that job.

You need to tell my boss that
I haven't done anything wrong.

When did you last go 'round
to your granddad's house

in Elvington Gardens?

Dunno.
About -- About a week ago.

Your fingermarks
were identified in blood

on the floor
of your grandfather's kitchen.

The blood is still tacky,

which means it's only
been there a few hours.

I went 'round there last night.

Okay.
When was that?

About half 7:00.
I went into the kitchen.

ROB:
How did you get in?

Details are important.

I borrowed Mum's key.

VIVIENNE: Go on.

What -- What do you
want to know?

Caleb, there was clearly a fight
of some description

in your granddad's kitchen.

-There was this bloke there.
-Which bloke?

I don't know.
I-I'd never seen him before.

Can you describe him?

Brown hair, about 6 feet tall.

He was helping himself

to stuff from the fridge
like he owned the place.

I told him to get out.

And then what happened?

He went for me.
I hit him back.

How did you get injured?

He came flying at me.
I lost my balance.

And I cracked my head
on the worktop as I went down.

And then Granddad came in.
He told me to go to hospital.

You left your granddad with
the guy that just hit you?

It wasn't like that.
Granddad said he knew him.

Where are your colleagues?

Interviewing Caleb Lawrence.

Oh, yes.

Before you ask, sir, I spoke
to my contact at London Central,

and she swears she hasn't

passed the CCTV footage on
to anyone else.

What she can't be sure of

is whether
the station control officer

who first picked it up
has kept it to himself.

But he's sleeping off
a night shift,

so my mate can't call him
until later today.

[ Sighs ]

-Well, let me know.
-BILLIE: Of course.

[ Exhales sharply ]

DISPATCHER:
Can you tell me where you are?

MAN:
31 Elvington Gardens.

-DISPATCHER: What's your name?
-MAN: No. No.

Uh, just -- just come.

[ Line disconnects, beeps ]

It's him.

The guy that was
in Granddad's house.

And you're certain your granddad
didn't say who he was?

Totally.

I shouldn't have left.
Granddad might not be --

What time did you get to A&E?

About 8:00.

-ROB: And you left at?
-Just before 1:00.

I had to -- I had to wait ages.

Why did you go to your
granddad's house last night?

What sort of question is that?
He's my granddad.

Well, your mum told us that
you didn't visit very often.

It was because of my mum
that I went 'round there.

ROB:
How come?

Granddad had upset her.

I don't know what it was about.
She wouldn't say.

Look, Mum was a right mess.

You know, she --
she might be a nag,

but she's alright, really.

She works hard, you know,
two jobs,

my little sister,
and looking after my granddad.

I went over there to find out
what he'd done to make her cry.

And did you?

Find out?

I never got the chance
to ask him.

Hospital records should confirm

if Caleb was in A&E
when he said he was.

They're calling me back.

Well, Caleb is definitely
not the 999 caller

and swears it's the guy
that he had the fight with

in his granddad's kitchen.

ROB:
Yeah, cheers, mate.

We've got a possible I.D.

Major Miller's neighbors
reckon the description

matches an Adam Green
who lives nearby.

They'd seen him go in and out
of the major's house before.

-Mr. Green?
-Yes?

I'm Detective Constable
Rob Brady.

I need to have a quick word
with your son Adam.

I don't know where Adam is.
Can you find him for me?

I think we better
do this inside.

Cheers.

MAN:
He's dead.

He -- He -- He's dead.
H-He's not breathing.

DISPATCHER:
Can you tell me where you are?

MAN:
31 Elvington Gardens.

-DISPATCHER: What's your name?
-MAN: No. No.

Uh, just -- just come.

[ Line disconnects, beeps ]

Do you recognize that voice?

No, no, it's not Adam.

He doesn't even know
this colonel.

Major.

We've had reports that someone
matching Adam's description

was a regular visitor
to the major's house.

If he was doing that,
I'd know about it.

He always tells me
where he's going.

When did you see him last?

Last night.

Can you help me find him?

ROB:
Yeah, we'll do our best.

What about Adam's mother?
Can I talk to her?

No point.
She lives in France.

We got divorced last year.

Adam won't have anything
to do with her.

Does he have any social media,
a computer?

Upstairs.

Sorry about the mess.

We were all teenagers once.

A recent photograph of Adam
would be really useful.

I'm not really big on photos.

There might be a passport one.

ROB:
Cheers.

BILLIE: Boss.

The hospital confirmed
Caleb's account.

He turned up at A&E
when he said he did

and he didn't get treated
until nearly midnight.

Well, we'd better let him go.

His mum, on the other hand...

What?

Has been telling us
a pack of lies.

CALEB:
It's me.

-KATHY: Oh!
-They let me out.

Oh!

The boss said I don't
have to go in today

'cause of what happened
to Granddad.

Yeah.

Hello, Kathy.

You'll be glad to hear
we're satisfied

Caleb had nothing to do
with your father's death.

Yeah.
It's like I told you.

He would never
hurt his granddad.

CALEB:
See you later.

Kathy, we contacted
your cleaning firm.

-They said you didn't --
-I didn't go to work last night.

[ Sighs ]
Come in.

I'm going to the track now.

Yeah, I'll see you there.

Why did you lie?

After the row with Dad,
I couldn't face going to work.

Kathy, do you take care
of your dad's finances?

Um...

This is 8:34 last night.

This is you using your father's
card to withdraw £250.

I asked Dad for a loan.

I promised I'd pay him back.

It was for Caleb.

He needed it
for a compliance course at work.

But Dad being Dad,
he said, "No handouts."

I know I shouldn't have
taken his card.

But I was really angry.

[ Voice breaking ]
Look, I know this --

I know this doesn't look good,

but this is my dad
we're talking about.

He -- He was --
He was tight and stubborn.

But I loved him.

[ Sniffles ]

He called me.
He knew that I'd taken his card.

And that was the last
conversation we had, and, uh...

[ Sniffles ]

I said I'd give it him all back.

And he said I didn't need to.

Which just made me feel
a million times worse.

[ Sniffles ]
I just want to say sorry.

I never got to say sorry.

[ Sobbing ]

The tech team have managed
to get access

to the victim's laptop.

This is from a probate solicitor

regarding a change
in the major's will,

received four days ago.

The new instruction

was to leave 50% of his property
to Adam Green.

Which would explain why this
Adam was such a regular visitor.

-ROB: Hmm.
-So where is he?

He's gone AWOL.

His dad's not got a clue
where he is.

I found this
in Major Miller's wallet.

Property company in Bow.

Turns out he's been renting
a lockup garage

from them for two years.

Check it out.

Sarge, I found a car
in Major Miller's lockup.

Looks like it's been
in a collision.

There's dried blood
on the driver's side.

I'm gonna call forensics.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

ADAM:
Hi, Dad.

I-I'm -- I'm fine.
Don't worry.

-Where are you off to?
-A park in Shoreditch.

Adam Green just used his phone,
so we've got a location.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Detective Sergeant Cole.

Great.
Thanks.

The tech unit just got
into Adam Green's laptop.

His last search this morning
was on Caleb Lawrence.

Do you think it's
a threat to life?

I think it's possible, given
what happened to the granddad.

I'll drive you.

Try Caleb again.

Hello?

Caleb, this is Detective
Sergeant Vivienne Cole.

Where are you?

Uh, the park near home.

VIVIENNE: Where exactly, Caleb?
It's important.

The -- The underpass.
Why?

VIVIENNE: Listen carefully.
Stay where you are.

There's a credible threat
to your life.

Caleb, what's going on?

Caleb!

Pull over here.

Stop!

-You're a killer!
-I rang 999.

-I'll take the grandson.
-Fine by me.

You'rethe killer!

DAVID:
Police! Cool it!

VIVIENNE:
Come on, calm down.

Calm down, Adam!

That's him.

That's the lad
who killed my granddad.

Adam Green, I'm arresting you
on the suspicion

of the murder
of Major Leonard Miller.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention
when questioned

something which you
later rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Do you understand?

-How's Caleb?
-BILLIE: Caleb's fine.

He's just making a statement,
and then he can go home.

Mrs. Lawrence,
did your dad have a car?

Yeah.

And where did he keep this car?

In a lockup.

I told him he should
get rid of it.

But he was so stubborn.

Brilliant.
Thank you.

Adam Green was the victim
of a hit-and-run

nearly two years ago.

Let me guess.
The car was white.

ROB: That's what he told
the investigating officers

at the time.

He was seriously injured.

For a while,
he was touch and go.

So that's why the major left
half his property to the boy,

out of guilt.

Dad loved driving.

He loved the independence.

He never supported us
financially,

but he'd pick the kids up
from school,

playdates, that sort of thing.

I mean, I totally relied on him.

To be honest, I knew he wasn't
safe behind the wheel, but...

everything would have fallen
apart without Dad and his car.

I had to work.

It's just been so hard
since my husband died.

I just feel like
I've failed at everything.

At...

being a mother,
being an employee, a daughter.

Adam, we are aware of what
happened to you two years ago,

that you were
in a serious collision

and sustained head injuries.

The forensic medical examiner

considers you fit
to be interviewed.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah.

If you weren't, I could ask
your dad to sit in with --

Yeah, I-I'm 18.
I know how I was.

And I know that
I'm different now.

It just -- It sometimes takes me
a bit longer to process things.

There's no hurry.

It can't have been an easy time.

I was about to start
a carpentry course, actually.

I mean, that car
just came out of nowhere.

If I'd left the house,
what, five seconds later,

it wouldn't have happened.

And you wouldn't be asking me if
I needed my dad in here with me.

He was coming back from picking
my daughter up from nursery.

She was fine.

She doesn't even
remember it now.

But she was in the car.

It was an accident
waiting to happen.

And it happened.

It was my fault.

It's hard to tell somebody
to stop driving.

I just assumed he'd go straight
to the police.

He was moral
through and through.

He said he couldn't.

He -- He didn't want
to ruin his reputation,

and he didn't want to spend
his last few years locked up.

I mean, yes, it was an accident,

but you've --
you've got to own it.

I told him.
I tried. I really tried.

Do you know who he hit?

I read the newspapers.

I put it together.

Adam Green.

He lived not too far from Dad.

Adam, when did you
and Major Miller first meet?

Uh, I'm not sure, sorry.

Uh, I think
he got chatting to me

in -- in a newsagent's sometime.

VIVIENNE:
And have you ever been upstairs

in Major Miller's house?

Never. Only ever downstairs
or in the garden.

When were you last there?

ADAM:
This morning.

Uh, it was about 8:00.

Um, I rang the doorbell,
but nobody answered,

so I used my key.

And, um, that's, uh --

that's when I found him
at the bottom of the stairs.

Uh, he, um -- he wasn't moving.

He was cold, so I, um --
so I rang 999.

And then you left?

I ran out the front door.

Why didn't you wait
with Major Miller

until the ambulance arrived?

I-I didn't want to stay
with a dead body.

Why did you go 'round

to Major Miller's house
this morning?

I wanted to see how he was
after last night.

What happened last night?

I was, um, making a cup of tea
for the major,

and this, um --
this guy came in,

started, uh, shouting
and pushing and...

...hitting me.

Did you know this person?

ADAM:
Not to begin with, but, um,

w-when the major
told him to stop,

I-I realized I-I recognized him
from photos.

It was, um,
Major Miller's grandson.

So, what happened next?

Um...

This guy, Caleb, he started,
um, shouting at the major.

It was something about his mum.

Then he swore at him.

And the major gave him a shove,
and he -- he really went flying.

He hit his head on
a work surface on the way down.

Um, he was bleeding.

So the major told him
to go to hospital.

And then?

Um, well Caleb said
that it wasn't over

and that he'd be back.

That's why I went
after him today.

VIVIENNE: Because you thought
he'd killed his granddad.

Staying with last night,
what did you do?

I went home.

Told my dad.

My dad said never
to go back there.

Adam isn't like
other 18-year-olds.

-I should be with him.
-We did give Adam that option.

You don't understand.
He's got needs.

ROB:
We do understand.

He was involved in a serious
collision nearly two years ago

and sustained
life-changing injuries.

He's been assessed
by the medical examiner

and he is fit to be interviewed
without an appropriate adult.

Who told you about the accident?

Actually, I was wondering why
youdidn't tell me about it.

Did you ask Adam Green

if he'd been upstairs
at the major's house?

Yeah, he told us he'd only
ever been downstairs

-or in the garden.
-Why? What you thinking?

Well, I just got this
from the lab.

They found a match
on fingermarks

that were lifted upstairs in the
house on Adam Green's laptop.

No way is that boy
Adam a killer.

There is another possibility.

Have you ever been
to Major Miller's house?

No.

ROB: Okay.

Do you recognize this?

Yes.
It's Adam's laptop.

Can you confirm that you
handed it to me earlier today?

Yes.

Fingerprints on this laptop
match fingerprints

that were found upstairs
in Major Miller's house.

Could they be Adam's?

ROB: No.

They're not Adam's.

We've checked.

We're also going to check them
against yours, too.

Tell us what happened.

I have tried...

I've tried so hard
to look after Adam.

I'm a good person.

Adam came home in a state.

Told me where he'd been,
who he'd been visiting.

And I saw red.

Went 'round there.

Accused the old man
of interfering with my son.

And he kept saying
they were just friends.

And I didn't believe him.

Then he walked away,
went upstairs.

And I thought, "I'm not
letting you get away with that."

And I followed him.

And I saw that he was scared,

so I knew that
he'd done something.

And I lost it.

I grabbed hold of him,

dragged him to the top
of the stairs.

Told him to come clean
about what he'd done to Adam.

That's when he told me.

The major.

He was the driver.

He was the person
who hit Adam with his car!

And I couldn't let go.

I froze...

...my hands around his throat.

He ruined my whole life.

Before the accident,
I had a wife, a job,

a great son who was ambitious
and full of life!

I was happy.

[ Sobs ]

I didn't mean to do it.

I just held on too long.

And then he went limp.

And I realized what I'd done.

[ Sobbing ] I'm not a bad man.

I promise.

And then what did you do?

I pushed him down the stairs to
make it look like he'd fallen.

And then I left.

I ran out and left.

I never thought it would be Adam
would be the one to find him.

What have I done?

What's gonna happen to Adam now?

Did you manage to get hold
of Adam Green's mother?

Yeah, she's flying back
from France tonight.

According to her, her husband
spiraled after the accident.

Didn't cope well at all,
pushed her away.

Sarge, can I have a word?

In private.

Of course.

Girl talk.

That was my mate
from London Central.

It's all sorted.

How?

The station manager only
showed that CCTV to my friend,

and they've both deleted it
from their phones.

And they didn't share it
with anyone else?

No.

[ Exhales deeply ]

Thank you, Billie.

-Are you and David --
-No.

Absolutely not.

I'm gonna head off
if that's okay.

Yeah, sure.

Bye.

[ Knock on door ]

Um, so it looks like
we're in the clear.

The CCTV didn't go any further.

Oh, thank goodness.

-That came out wrong.
-No. Don't worry.

I think we've both
had a lucky escape.

Look, Vivienne.

I like working with you.

I respect you as a colleague,
a detective.

I don't want to destroy that
for the sake of a fling.

No.
Of course not.

Neither do I.

The thing is...

...I'm not free.

I'm married.

I'm really glad
to hear you say that.

Really, I am.

It is a massive relief.

Night.

Me and the boss are going for
a quick pint if you fancy it.

Um, maybe next time.

Shouldn't you be rushing home
to your long-suffering wives.

Uh, mine's got her sister over,
and David's...

Well, from what he told me the
other day, his marriage is over.

Really?

ROB: I know.

I was surprised, too.

He's moved out.

Night.

ROB: Night.
