Excuse us!

Good morning, what
took you so long?

- Soco suits.
- Cheers!

- Put them on.
- Thank you!

Adam, can you put a bag over?

[Adam] A little bit closer.

[Indistinct background chatter]

Let's not keep our forensic
anthropologist waiting.

- Morning, Fiona!
- Morning.

What have if you got?

Well, the body's been
partially mummified

in these fertiliser bags.

Cause of death, it's
very difficult to determine

at the moment, I can't get
a proper look at the body.

I don't want to lose any
of the soil or vegetation.

That's why Adam is here.

- Adam.
- That'd be me.

Forensic, botanist, and you are?

- Oh, sorry, this is dci Miller.
- Or Sasha.

Good to meet you Sasha.

So why is this a ucos case?

Victim is believed
to be Cheryl sheekey,

former owner of the house.

That'll explain all
the attention outside.

I'm sorry?

She was a lottery winner,
who disappeared in-

1998, 17th of October.

Everybody thought the husband
had killed her for the cash.

Ah, hang on.

I think we got something.

Lucky charm
bracelet that went well.

- And that is Cheryl's.
- [Dramatic music]

All right, I'll confirm
the dental records,

I'll give her a good
going over at the lab.

Thanks Fiona.

- [Dramatic music continues]
- [Paper raffling]

- So how much did they win?
- 3,682,423 pounds.

Good recall.

And they say the memory
is the first thing to go.

Actually, it's your eyesight,
it's written on the check.

- [Indistinct chattering]
- That would be me.

Well, I didn't believe him,

I thought he was winding me up,

I thought we'd won
a tenner. [Laughs]

Cheryl sheekey, 33, at the
time worked in a tile shop.

The lottery syndicate
was my idea,

but Craig started
the dream team.

The dream team?

The syndicate was
a pub quiz team

run by this guy, Craig Bentham.

They used to play every
week at the Duke of Clifton

in twickenham, they
each won 900 grand.

We're gonna follow our dreams,

grab life by the
balls, ain't we guys?

That is Eleanor chalice,

she grew up in the same
care home as Cheryl.

And who's our cheeky chappy?

[Screams]

Terry sheekey.

Terry and Cheryl
married in 1993.

Cheryl was 28, he was 23.

Now the original
murder investigation team

strongly suspected
that he'd killed her.

He didn't have an alibi for
the night she disappeared?

That's right, he said he
couldn't remember a thing

because, and I quote, "i
was off my head on drugs."

But the murder
investigation stalled

through lack of evidence,

and then Cheryl's car
was found abandoned

in a supermarket car park
in Dover, five weeks later.

Now, there was no body
and her passport was missing,

so there was nothing to prove
that she hadn't done a runner

and left the country.

- So Terry was off the hook?
- No, not exactly, no.

For public at least, it
didn't stop the media

putting Terry on trial,
and the local community,

well, they've taken
Cheryl to their hearts.

Terry and Cheryl lived
the highlight for six months.

They bought cars, houses,

they went to all
those select parties,

and then their 15
minutes of fame were over,

and well, it all went wrong,
the money started to run out,

and Terry picked up a
string of drug convictions.

He was in and out of rehab,

and he did time for
attacking a reporter.

Now we've got her body
in the back of his garden.

What more do we need?

You two, go and
break the news to Terry,

see how he takes it.

We could clear this one up
and still make happy hour.

Do you want me to go with him?

No, you're with me.

I've managed to
track down the guy

who was building the swimming
pool for Terry and Cheryl.

[Mystical dramatic music]

You never bought a
lottery ticket, why not?

Well, be careful what you
wish for, that's why motto.

Money does funny
things to people.

Wouldn't mind having some
funny things done to me.

Yeah, here you go.

[Door knocking]

But did this guy
really win the lottery?

Well, Terry sheekey,
this is Ted case

from the unsolved crime
and open case squad.

- What do you want?
- We wanna come in, please.

- [Foreboding music]
- [Door clicks open]

Terry, can we get you a
glass of water or something?

Have you any idea
who might have done it?

You told the
original investigation

you were off your head on
drugs the night she disappeared?

Terry, now that
Cheryl's been found,

it's very important
that you think back.

Anything that you might
want to get off your chest?

I didn't kill her, if that's
what you're asking.

Well, yes, I suppose that
is exactly what I am asking.

- Mind if I take a look around?
- [Baby crying]

What was she like, Cheryl?

Look at her!

She was a goddess,
that's what she was like.

[Steve] Ted!

- [Dramatic music]
- [Footsteps pattering]

See, I've not stopped
looking for her,

I've been working with
missing persons agencies

in countries across Europe.

They'd put a photo
on the website

and people send in sightings.

You see here, it doesn't go off?

- [Door knocking]
- I'll get that you carry on.

- Oh, ah...
- [Paper crackles]

They sent this, it's not her.

Of course it's not her.

- [Footsteps pattering]
- I came as soon as I heard!

It's on the local news,

they're outside now like a
committee of vultures committee.

A committee not a flock?

No!

Of course, you're
Eleanor chalice,

you're on the dream
team, weren't you?

- Yeah.
- We need to talk to you too.

- Both of you.
- Well, it works for me.

So, that's where you'll find us.

[Door clinks]

Gareth Clark?

Is there somewhere
we can talk in private?

[Indistinct] Can you
come sort out the kids?

[Toys clinking]

Sorry.

I've been working
nice and sweet.

Not still in the building trade?

No, I gave up years
ago, not enough work.

I'm a security guard
now, I'm still overdrawn

but you get to spend
more time with the kids.

So what can I do for you?

We're reinvestigating the
disappearance of Cheryl sheekey.

We've found a body.

- You okay?
- [Baby crying]

How well did you know her?

Well, she was a nice lady

she used to bring me
cups of tea that's all.

You were building a pool for her

at the time of her
disappearance, yes?

No, the job got called off
a couple of weeks before.

But I don't understand.

Well, I don't remember
the ins and outs,

but I think the husband
ordered it as a surprise,

she thought was
a waste of money,

they used to have these
massive rows about it,

in the end of the
job got cancelled.

To be honest, it was
a relief to get away

from that natter of her husband.

Why all these
questions about the pool?

That's where we found the body.

[Sombre dramatic music]

- [Train clinks noisily]
- [Sirens blaring]

- Oh, here he is now.
- It's all gonna start,

- isn't it?
- Ignore them Terry.

He's got no comment.

Is that because
you killed Cheryl?

Say that again and
I'm going to kill you.

Terry, you're not doing
yourself any favours, come on!

[Camera shatters]

We'll be waiting for you mate.

So how come this swimming
pool gets discovered now?

Current owner decided
to landscape the garden

to boost the value
of the property.

Well that backfired didn't it?

Okay, gareth said he'd
finished the excavation,

but he hadn't put in grading,

which is consistent with
where she was found here.

So we need to
find out from Terry

when the pool was filled in.

And who filled it in.

That's going to be Terry.

It's hardly a bucket and spade
job, you need heavy gear.

How did Terry take the news?

Well, he's got a
real temper on him?

He just tried to stick a
popper on another reporter.

Well, he just found out
that his wife was dead

and they were asking
him if he killed her.

It's hardly a shock, is it?

They were all
saying that in 1998.

He's been trying to find
Cheryl for the past 17 years.

It could be guilt, denial-

or he's just lying
through his teeth.

Well, if he was, he
deserves an Oscar.

And he's got this
really weird relationship

with Eleanor chalice.

Yeah, yeah, he works for her,

and he's staying at
her place at the moment

- at this animal sanctuary.
- Well, are they together?

I mean, could that be a motive?

Ted check in with
Terry tomorrow,

find out about the
swimming pool.

I'll talk to Eleanor chalice.

You remember Craig Bentham,

the leader of the pub quiz team?

Well, he now runs
a garden centre.

And garden centres
sell fertiliser bags.

Cheryl's body was found in one.

Well, it wasn't a syndicate

so it's definitely
worth a visit.

Are you not coming to the pub?

Fiona is going to be there.

Sorry, I've got a tonne
of coursework to do.

- Enjoy yourselves!
- [Door clicks open]

[Footsteps pattering]

- [Dramatic music]
- [Muffled scraping]

[Sighing]

Scratch cards are a mugs game.

The numbers are
different each time,

you have to stay with
the same numbers,

like when you do the lottery.

Oh, I'll try that then.

Well, that way, your odds
go from several million to one,

to what?

Half several million to one.

Well, if I buy several
million tickets?

You'd be contributing
to a lot of good causes.

- [Chuckles]
- Isn't it Sasha?

He did a book again.

When did she last have some fun?

A bit of good
old-fashioned, you know.

- [Whistling]
- [Chocking]

What, so a woman is
not supposed to have

some nice uncomplicated
sex now and again?

Yeah, of course they are!

But anytime sex is
ever uncomplicated

is when it's with the right man.

So who's the right
man then Fiona?

Most of the eligible
bachelors we know

are pushing their sell by date.

Actually I think I
might know someone.

Can you go to [indistinct]
tomorrow night?

If Sasha gets wind of this

she'll have our
guts for garters.

- Okay, forget it!
- No, no, no, no!

We'll work some of
that, won't we guys?

- I feel a bad moon rising.
- [Mystical dramatic music]

- [Car tyres scraping]
- [Chicken cooing]

[Doors click open]

- [Doors slam shut]
- [Diesel engine roars]

[Bucket squeaking]

- Eleanor this dci Miller.
- How's Terry?

He's in the house.

- [Door knocking]
- Terry, it's Ted case.

- Terry!
- [Door clicks open]

[Door slams shut]

So you got any
proper coffee here?

Lapsang souchong, is that
as exotic as it gets these days?

I haven't touched
drugs for years.

'Cause Eleanor, she
thinks he's looking after me.

- Are you two an item?
- No.

- Now, do we look like an item?
- [Newspaper raffling]

We gonna get our
best sides today.

If they all got to
infamy, ain't they?

Hey Terry, all this
self pity and crap

is not going to work, you're
going to finish up in prison

while the bustard who
killed Cheryl and left at a rot

is running around
the day scot free.

Just tell me what went wrong
between you and Cheryl?

Those bloody numbers
came up, that's what?

So, Eleanor, do
you have any idea

who might have killed Cheryl?

Well, they were
saying it was Terry

- but I seriously doubt it.
- But not impossible?

Well, you never know
with people, do you?

Then you have to see
what they do to animals.

Is that what made you
spend all your winnings

- on this place?
- [Eleanor sighs]

Well, at first it was a couple
of stray cats for company,

and a donkey destined
for the knacker's yard,

and I couldn't turn
the others away.

I mean, lottery
money didn't last long,

but thank god I got Terry here.

What's your
relationship with Terry?

Are you two...

- Well, are you a couple?
- No! [Laughing]

He was abandoned,
so I took him in,

he's never gotten over Cheryl.

You and Cheryl grew
up together, didn't you?

Same care home,
what was she like?

Well, she was always
organising policies,

even when she
was seven years old.

She knew how to enjoy life.

- But?
- Well, when my mother died,

I told myself I
didn't need anybody,

but, Cheryl, she was
always searching for a home.

She tried to get
herself fostered,

and when a placement broke down

she'd be looking
for the next one,

and then she set
her sights on Terry.

Now, he was younger than
her, quite a catch in his day,

that didn't stop her.

Now what Cheryl wanted, she
grabbed, she had a way with men.

I followed her feet.

She's like a sister to me,
always telling me what to wear,

how to do my hair,
and I owe all this to her.

I mean, if it wasn't for her,

I'd never have joined
the dream team.

How did that come about?

Well, Cheryl squeezed
Lizzie out to get me in.

- Sorry, Lizzie?
- Craig Bentham's wife.

- [Dramatic music]
- [Hay raffling]

Cheryl wanted a family,
that's understandable.

He couldn't have kids,

and then he got turned
down for ivf and adoption.

We thought the win was
gonna change all that.

Now we had money,

so we were looking at
getting a baby from China.

- We even got sent a photo.
- Then what happened?

I got done for
cocaine possession,

the adoption
agency called it off.

Why did you get on the
drugs in the first place?

Parties.

The attention,
Cheryl loved it all,

but I couldn't I handle it.

All those people, I felt
like I was letting her down.

You know, the drugs
brought me out of myself

and turned into a habit,
and it all turned to shit.

And what about the pool, why
did you decide to build that?

Cheryl was a great
swimmer when she was a kid,

she won metals even.

I thought we could
get clean and healthy,

but we just ended
up with a hole.

And who filled it in?

- Sorry, I don't recall.
- You did, Terry.

Your state agents
said it was an eyesore

and Terry would lose
money if he didn't.

So I remember them saying that.

I needed it to sell the
place, discovered I was skint.

When was this?

After the police
closed the case.

Okay, that's it for now.

- We're giving her a sendoff.
- A what?

We've decided to organise a
quiz night in Cheryl's memory.

- She was very popular locally.
- Is that a good idea?

Cheryl wasn't the sort
of girls gone quietly,

and we've got nothing to hide.

- [Footsteps pattering]
- [Mystical dramatic music]

[Tyres scraping]

A quiz?

- Well, that's interesting!
- All right, thanks Sasha,

- we'll see you back at base.
- See you back at the station.

- Yeah, right!
- [Doors click open]

I'm not sure I'd cardio and
work out if I won the lottery.

Well, it wouldn't take long
to burn a hole in 900,000,

- you know?
- Would be fun trying it.

- [Honking]
- [Engine revs hard]

- Who's that, aye?
- That was gareth Clark.

- [Dramatic music]
- [Footsteps pattering]

[Water sploshing]

Welcome gentlemen, what
can we do for you today?

Mr. Duncan, Danny gryphon,

unsolved crimes and
open cases squad.

Steve mcandrew.

We've just passed gareth
Clark on his way out,

- what did he want?
- Who?

He did some work
for the sheekeys?

No, no, I don't know him.

He was probably picking
something up from the yard.

This is about Cheryl, isn't it?

We saw it on the
news, it's terrible,

we thought she was abroad.

Are you still messing
about with that?

I thought you were going to
chase up the delphiniums order.

It's on my list.

These gentlemen
are from the police,

they're here about Cheryl.

- That's my wife, Lizzie.
- Hello!

Terrible news, terrible!

Well, I'll leave you to it then.

[Footsteps pattering]

He loves delphiniums.

How long has your wife
been working with you?

A couple of years.

Since the kids left home,

it leaves me more time to
concentrate on the shop.

And you worked with Cheryl too?

A long time ago,
yes, at the tile centre.

You weren't tempted
to stop working

when you won the lottery?

No, no, I wouldn't have
known what to do with myself.

As soon as we won,

I convinced Lizzie to
let me buy this place.

And Cheryl?

They day the numbers came up,

she told the boss what
she thought and quit.

She like to speak her mind, aye?

Well, he deserved it, but yeah,

she said things that
the rest of us wouldn't.

It did burn her fair
share of Bridges though.

But not with you?

No, but running this place
took up so much of my time,

I barely saw Cheryl
after the lottery win.

I really don't see
how I can help you.

Well, you knew Cheryl.

You were on her pub quiz team.

It wasn't her team,
it was my husband's.

We were told that
Cheryl squeezed you out?

One week we lost by a
point, and Cheryl told Craig,

she had a friend who
could do a better job.

Craig set up the team,
didn't he have a say?

Yes he did, but they
were always a bit silly

about winning, and
we had a young family,

and I didn't really like
pubs anyway, so I quit.

But Craig stayed
with the dream team?

Oh thank god!

And the dream
team won the lottery.

Of course!

- Craig took his share.
- Mm-hmm, yes!

You could have had your share

and been a million
pounds richer,

if they hadn't thrown you out?

Most people might be rueful.

Well, we are not most people.

We are ordinary people

who had an
extraordinary piece of luck,

we prefer to focus on
what we've achieved.

And what have you achieved?

Well, look around you.

We didn't do the tedious
things that most people expect.

What things?

Drugs, big house, parties.

You're talking
about the sheekeys?

I really don't think I
can help you anymore.

So you and Terry
hadn't had any contacts

- since Cheryl disappeared?
- I've had my hands full here.

- And you follow it?
- No, no, of course not.

And you'll be going
to this quiz tonight?

Lizzie doesn't think that
that's such a good idea.

Oh, but you're the
leader of the team,

it'd be strange if you
weren't there, wouldn't it?

[Foreboding dramatic music]

- [Door clicks open]
- How's it going?

Well, Eleanor certainly likes
her animals, doesn't she?

And it appears that
Terry's another stray

that she's taken in, she
claims that he filled in the pool,

but she is a dab hand at
driving those little tractors

around her sanctuary,

so we got onto the
plant hire firm she uses.

Yeah she had a mini jcb
delivered to Terry's address

two days after the car
was found in Dover.

We've got the results
back from forensic,

there's no obvious
cause of death,

and any toxic
evidence is long gone.

What about Lizzie
and Greg Bentham?

Well, Craig was keen
to distance himself

from Cheryl and Terry,

and Lizzie said she
didn't mind missing out

on 1 million quid.

Oh, and guess who we
bumped into on the way in?

Gareth Clark, the
man who built the pool.

- What does he want?
- I don't know,

but he was in a hurry
to get out of there.

Craig claimed he
didn't know gareth at all

but something had
put the wind up him.

Look at him, hey,
happy as clams.

Craig's garden centre, Eleanor
got our animal sanctuary,

and Cheryl and Terry
got their life of leisure,

and a year later Cheryl is dead.

Listen to this, Terry was
in rehab September 98,

but Cheryl was a very busy bee.

The original investigation
tracked her movements

through her credit card,

and she was in Clifton, Bristol,

on three separate occasions
over a couple of weeks.

So let's find out
what she was doing

and see if we can tie her
movements in with any of that lot.

Well, ain't surveillance
a bit more Dan's field?

Well Dan's gonna be busy with me

at the memorial quiz night.

I thought you were
meeting Fiona?

- Well, I'll reschedule.
- Well, you can't.

- She's made a breakthrough.
- A breakthrough?

Well, she wants to
tell you personally.

Well, Ted and I will
do the quiz, we'll walk it.

You're not there to walk it,

you're there for
low-profile surveillance.

See who turns up, check
out the dynamic of the group,

and talk to Eleanor
chalice about that jcb.

[Mystical dramatic music]

Nice t-shirt!

I've gotten it printed today.

So are you here for the quiz?

- Yeah!
- Yeah, sure, yeah!

Okay, that'll be 10 pounds.

Okay, well you can
give me a hand with this,

- it needs to go on the stage.
- Okay!

[Footsteps pattering]

- [Crowd clapping]
- So much for low profile.

Can you put it in the middle?

Yeah, sure!

You told us Terry
had filled the pool in?

Yeah.

But you ordered a jcb to be
delivered to Terry's address

after the police
investigation was closed?

Yeah, I did it on
Terry's behalf.

When the poor man was in bits.

You know, I like to help people,

I'm gonna help my son
balmy to you, that's what I do.

So have you got a
name for your team?

Best name wins a bonus point.

Mentally challenged.

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

So we'll sit over here, okay?

Terry's not here, would
you say a few words?

I don't think that
would be appropriate.

You are the team captain!

But you don't mind saying
a few words, do you Craig?

No, no, of course not.

Good.

And put your t-shirts on too.

They don't seem to be getting

into the spirit of their thing.

[Soft jazz music]

- [Footsteps pattering]
- Hi!

Sorry we're late,
you remember Adam?

- Hi.
- Oh!

- It's nice to see you again.
- And you!

- So what was so important?
- I get the drinks in first?

Okay, yeah!

- I haven't got much time then.
- Okay.

- [Footsteps pattering]
- [Smooth jazz music]

Good evening
ladies and gentlemen,

as captain of the dream team
I would like to welcome you

to a very special quiz night,

in memory of my good
friend, Cheryl sheekey.

- [Door clicks open]
- Cheryl was the one...

Terry?

Long time no see Craig.

I thought you've moved
to Mars or something.

[Suspenseful dramatic music]

- Good to see you mate!
- Me too, me too!

Cheryl bought me this for
our first wedding anniversary.

I haven't worn it
for about 20 years.

Isn't she the most beautiful
thing you've ever seen?

- Well, isn't she?
- [Crowd claps]

Told you she'd never leave me.

Enjoy your evening.

- Where are you going?
- This was a mistake.

I'd never had my hand
on her head, you know that,

don't ya?

Sit down.

Sit down!

I'm afraid I haven't had a
chance to read the newspapers,

and keep up with
current affairs, just as well,

because they're all full of
stories about me. [Laughing]

It's good to see you.

- Y'all up for drinks?
- No, we're fine, Terry!

He's taking the piss, isn't he?

Shall I be the scribe,
that's if nobody objects?

Well actually I
think that's my job.

Evening folks!

Question one, what class
of animal is lepidoptera?

That's a trick, they want
us to think it's a leopard

- or big cat, it's not.
- I know who'll know.

[Bell chimes]

Butterflies and moths, what?

So you got me here for a Berry?

Yes.

It was preserved inside
one of the fertiliser bags,

it might help with
the time of death.

They usually appear
around later on.

We know the victim
was alive in October.

Well, I'm up the
floor of the garden.

New Holly trees.

Well, couldn't it been
carried by an animal,

or maybe it was still in the
sacks or a Holly tree nearby

that died and got cut down.

You're a tough
grind, Miller. [Gasps]

This type of Holly is
comparatively rare,

it runs a bit wild for your
average back garden.

What I'm saying is,

it increases the probability
that the body was dumped.

One of your suspects runs
a garden centre, doesn't he?

Maybe you should check
what species of Holly

he was selling in 1998.

We could try, is that all?

Well, there was also a
perfectly preserved dinosaur egg,

but I was gonna tell you all
about that over another drink.

- Yeah?
- I love it!

And, you stay where you are.

Dad, what's he doing,
he's so antisocial.

Darling I thought you said

you were gonna have
your session later?

Well, they're getting on fine.

[Chuckles]

In the lead is the dream team.

Yes!

- We're winning this.
- We're all gonna do it!

We're gonna [indistinct].

That's gareth Clark, ain't it?

If he is in the
lottery, really nice!

I just wondered if you had time

to think about our
conversation, Craig?

Do we have to do this here?

It's all right mate,
a little [indistinct].

You're not taking
me very seriously.

- Off my back you wanker!
- [Whacking]

- [Gasping]
- [Whacking continues]

Hey!

Police, that's enough!

Terry, you stay where you are,

you're in enough
trouble already.

Are you going to bring them in?

Cars are turned up, we're
heading for the station now.

Ah, okay, well, we'll
talk to them tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, don't worry.

You're not in the
cells or soften him up.

Yeah, well that
usually does the trick.

- Yep, gotta go.
- [Soft jazz music]

So do you wanna hear about
these dinosaur eggs or not?

[Sighs]

- [Footsteps pattering]
- [Door clicks open]

- Good morning!
- You're late!

So love is in the air.

- [Door clicks shut]
- What?

Oh, we just meant
that Craig Bentham

bought her a romantic
meal for two on his credit card

at the Pinot noir
restaurant in Bristol.

Which is 500 yards
from the realtor hotel

where Cheryl had booked
a double room that night,

sort of love is in the air
between Cheryl and Craig.

- Good work!
- How'd it go last night?

Good.

Dan, tell them
about the Holly Berry.

-Well, I was texting,
so- -oh, that's right!

We went to the pub to
discuss vital forensic evidence,

and you spent the evening
texting like a teenager.

Now, should we all do some work?

[Footsteps pattering]

So, what were you doing
at the quiz last night?

I came to pay my respects.

- Who to?
- Cheryl, of course.

You seem to have
some unfinished business

with Craig Bentham?

- He owes me money.
- What for?

For some job way back when.

You told us that
the garden centre,

you didn't know gareth Clark.

I don't, not really.

And what did you two talk about?

Oh, I can't remember.

The conversation
ended in a quote,

"get off my back you wanker!"

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

- He said that I owed him money.
- For what?

So the day after
Cheryl's body turns up,

you decide to ask
Craig for money

for some job from way back when?

- Yeah.
- What job?

Maybe the money was for
work done on Cheryl's pool.

Well, the sheekeys would
have paid him for that,

why else would he be
asking Craig for money?

Well, build his
seals or [indistinct].

No, I hear what you're saying.

So, gareth might
have seen something

when he was building the
pool, Cheryl's body turns up,

he decides to ask
Craig for hush money.

That's a possibility.

It makes a strong possibility.

- What do you think yourself?
- Wow, what do we know?

Oh yeah, maybe Craig and
Cheryl were having an affair.

That's...

Well, feel free to join in
whenever you're ready, gareth.

We know about Bristol,

you and Cheryl
in Clifton together.

What?

The lunch at the
Pinot noir restaurant,

September 27, 1998.

No, that was a business lunch,

what makes you
think Cheryl was there?

Because she'd booked
into a hotel 500 yards away.

A popular destination
for romantic weekends.

You always drink champagne
with your business lunches?

You've lied to us, you were
having an affair, weren't you?

You know what?

- I want a lawyer.
- You're overdrawn,

you graft every hour of
every day to make ends meet,

and Craig Bentham
gets a huge pile of money

just fall into his lap.

Cheryl's body turns up,

you're just had
to blackmail him?

You won't play ball
at the garden centre,

so you turned up
with a quiz night,

trumpet the screws on him
in front of his wife and friends.

This is a murder
investigation, gareth,

that nice lady that used to
make you tea lost her life.

You say the wrong thing in
the next couple of minutes

it could destroy
you very quickly,

do you really wanna risk that?

Your family, your
kids, everything?

So what happened?

Craig turned out while
you were building the pool,

- didn't he?
- No, his wife did.

- What?
- She accused Cheryl

of having an affair
with her husband.

She'd killed her if I
hadn't pulled them apart.

We'll be holding
Craig for a while longer.

[Gasps] It was
nothing, it was a scuffle.

I'd like to talk to you
about another scuffle,

is the one that took place in
Cheryl sheekey's back garden.

Oh!

Can we go somewhere
more private?

- Away from the customers?
- Sure!

I'm not big on trust.

When my first husband's
started seeing somebody else,

I was torn apart by it.

I thought I'm not going
to let that happen again.

So I thought it'd just be me
and the children after that,

and then I met Craig,

and it's as if I'd
won the lottery.

-Well, and then we-
-won the lottery for real?

Yes!

But we thought we don't
want anything to change,

so we put some money
away for our old age,

we invested in the
children's education.

The only major outlays

was the setting up
of Craig's business.

Go on.

Then the letters started
arriving, asking for cash.

And the phone
didn't stop ringing,

and friends, family even,
started to treat us differently.

I mean, I felt the only
reason people liked me

was because they
knew I had money.

So, I started to hide myself
away, I became so paranoid

that I was put on
anti depressants.

And by this time Craig
was working later and later,

and I felt it was because of
me, because of how I've been.

So I wanted to go and
see him to tell him that

though I'd got over that
now, so I thought I'd pop down

to the centre one day, and
that's when I saw Cheryl

in the back office with him.

She was always
going to see Craig.

You think they
were having an affair.

So you went to see Cheryl?

And the angrier I got,
the more she laughed,

and it was almost as
if she wanted me to-

- attack her?
- [Sobbing]

So did you tell Craig?

Oh yes, yes, but he denied it.

He said that I was the
most important thing

in the world to him,

and I thought, "right, I'll
give him one last chance."

If he ever has any more
involvement with Cheryl

that will be it, I
will leave him.

So we decided to
draw a line under it.

In fact, we thought
we'd leave a bit.

We went home on a
six-week trip around Africa,

until Craig got bilharzia,
and we had to return home.

When I heard that Cheryl
was gone, I was happy,

but I had no idea that she
was lying there all that time.

I swear.

You've been talking to my wife?

You have no right.

Well, you wouldn't talk to us.

She's seems pretty sure
you're having an affair.

There was no affair.

- It was business.
- All right.

If you were in
Bristol on business,

what business
might that have been?

We were looking to
expand the company.

We?

Did Lizzie know
about this expansion.

Not the specifics, no.

Well, I've been
looking at the specifics,

and you transferred
250,000 pounds

from your business
account into Guernsey

between September
and November, 1998.

How did you find out about that?

Well, the same way we
found out that two months later

you took out a loan
for 150,000 at 17% apr,

pretty high rate
of interest, isn't it?

Especially when you've
paid off your mortgage,

why not use your
house as collateral,

then you can borrow
much more cheaply?

I'll tell you why.

Lizzie knew nothing
about any of this, did she?

As soon as Cheryl
reappeared in your life

the money starts disappearing.

All right, six months
after we won the lottery,

Cheryl came to the centre.

She changed, she
was like a film star.

She said, she'd seen what
I'd done with the centre,

and that winning the lottery
had unlocked my potential,

she saw me as a risk
taker, an entrepreneur,

and that I should be setting
my sights on bigger things.

Bigger things?

She wanted us to buy four
or five outlets across the UK.

She had it all worked out.

We would open an
account and guarantee,

I would put my
working capital into it

and she would match it.

She showed me this,
all this paperwork,

-solicitors' letters,
invoices- -but it was all fake?

And then she disappeared.

And I couldn't
access the account,

a massive error of judgement.

Why didn't you go to the police?

Would have been the
end of my marriage.

Perhaps she should have tried
to have been a bit more open

with Lizzie, you could
have saved yourself

- a lot of heart ache.
- You don't know Lizzie.

But I didn't kill
Cheryl, I wouldn't.

- I need to speak to my wife.
- [Laughing]

That's an understatement.

I haven't been able to
determine the cause of death yet,

I'm afraid.

Well, we've found out that
Craig Bentham's garden centre

didn't stock the
species of Holly

that was found in
the fertiliser bags.

Well, the fertiliser bags
is the reason I'm here.

Look at this side
of the bag, 30% off.

I love a good
bargain, don't you?

[Indistinct] Aren't we?

Oh, don't get sucked in.

Well, this is what she does
just before she hits a home run.

So is there a home run Fiona?

Well, I just spoke
to the manufacturer,

they introduced this offer
on November the 26th, 1998.

Why didn't we think of that?

When did Craig and
Lizzie go to Africa?

November 19th.

So they couldn't have
got hold of those bags

before they went, and
the hole had been filled in

by the time they came home.

So unless one or both
of them killed Cheryl

and got somebody
else to dump the body,

they're no longer suspects.

And that as my friend
says, is a home run.

I'll see you later.

Very impressive, Fiona.

Well, I can't claim all
the credit, Adam helped.

Well, say thank
you to him for me.

You've gotta
spring on your step.

Have I, mm-mm?

Go on, spill, last night?

You and Adam?

- Yes.
- [Chuckles]

- And?
- Yeah, it was great!

He was so pleased.

Adam's a lovely man,
what happens next?

Oh, nothing, that's
what made it so great.

I've got no room for anything
more in my life right now.

You weren't trying to
set us up by any chance,

- were you?
- No!

It would hardly be professional.

How are the boys?

They are worried,
all work and no play.

Please do me a favour,

- don't say anything to them.
- Not a word. [Laughing]

- [Door clicks open]
- Ah, boss!

I've had another look at
Terry's bank statements,

money was being syphoned out.

10,000 here, 8,000 here,

pretty consistent over
a number of months,

and adding up to about
a quarter of a million.

Now the original investigators
thought he'd blown

it all on having a good
time, drink and drugs mostly.

But it was going into Guernsey,

into the same account that
Cheryl used to rip off Craig.

What happened to it after that?

Guernsey has only just
signed an agreement

with the UK tax authorities

but there was no
disclosure in 1998.

I can try and find out,
but it's going to take time.

What else do we need?

We've got opportunity,
we've got motive.

Cheryl's stealing
money from Terry,

he finds out and he kills her.

But Terry was
besotted with Cheryl,

he didn't care about money.

The way he cared
if he wanted drugs?

Let's at least get a
warrant, turn his flat over.

- [Dramatic music]
- Okay.

[Steve] Yes!

- You okay Steve?
- Better then okay,

just found this under
a pile of junk in the loft.

Terry knew she
hadn't gone anywhere.

I loved Cheryl,
why would I kill her?

She stole a quarter of a
million pounds of your money.

What was mine belonged to her?

Well, you changed
the regulatory.

I was out of it, I've spent
my life looking for her.

We found it in your
flat Terry, it's Cheryl's.

- Where?
- Where you left it,

in the loft under
a pile of junk.

Our search for her was
all smoke and mirrors,

because you knew we'd come
knock on your door one day.

I don't know how it got there,
I looked everywhere for it,

everywhere, I can prove it.

- Save it for the jury time.
- [Footsteps pattering]

[Door clicks shut]

We've got enough to charge him.

But why go to all that trouble

and keep her
passport in his flat.

He's messed up,
forgot it was there?

Sasha, here's
something interesting.

This is the false invoice
for the warehouse purchase

in Bristol that
Cheryl gave to Craig.

Now there's one payment
that didn't go through Guernsey.

- Where did it go?
- Into a solicitor's account?

I chased it up and the funds
were for a property purchase.

- A warehouse?
- No.

An ex-local authority
property in London.

[Mystical dramatic music]

[Door knocking]

- [Door clicks open]
- Who is it?

Maybe your wife should
take the kids for an ice cream.

And you can tell us
why Cheryl sheekey

bought you this house.

- [Dramatic music continues]
- [Footsteps pattering]

So you and Cheryl
were having an affair,

and then she bought
this place as a love nest?

- It wasn't really an affair?
- What was it then?

A relationship.

Her marriage was
dead, I loved her.

When was the last
time you saw Cheryl?

She called me there,
the night she disappeared.

What did she say?

Something about having
one last nut to crack.

What do you think
she meant by that?

I didn't care.

I thought we were
going to run away

- start a new life together.
- To where?

I'd have gone
anywhere she wanted.

- And you believed her?
- When Cheryl disappeared

that was the worst of my life.

I thought she'd
gone off without me,

I dreamed that she was lying
on some beach somewhere

with some other bloke,

and then you told
me that she's dead.

- I felt sick.
- Not too sick for blackmail?

You've seen what my
life is like, it's a struggle.

This house was bought
with stolen money.

You're gonna have
to find somewhere else

- for your family to live.
- [Dramatic music]

- Jacqueline steel.
- Who?

I was 17, she was 33 years,
I used to fetch coal for her.

So I think about her
sometimes. [Laughing]

Do I really need
to know about this?

- Well, no, not really, no.
- Good.

So wait a minute, look,
so what do you think?

Gareth found out Cheryl
was planning on leaving

- and killed her?
- It's a possibility.

But why draw attention to
himself trying to blackmail Craig?

It's got to be Terry.

It's like Ted said, why
set up a massive alibi,

all those years of research,

and then hide her
passport in the same flight?

- It doesn't make sense.
- Well-

but before we charge Terry,

I need to see this
research for myself.

We started off
with a big checklist,

it'd have to be somewhere
warm near the sea.

We really do need
somewhere more specific

- than half of Europe.
- He went to Greece once,

she was annoyed that
people didn't speak English.

So she wouldn't
wanna learn a language.

And [indistinct],
she liked [indistinct].

Would need an audience
then, wouldn't she?

English-speaking, a bit
of an ex-pat community,

so we're looking for
twickenham by the sea.

Did she ever talk
about Cyprus or Spain?

You know what?

Somebody has
pulled a pin out here.

- Where?
- Malaga, Spain.

That was early on, [indistinct],
it turned out the sighting

- was before she disappeared.
- What?

- [Door clicks open]
- Danny, any news?

Well, I've been on to the
British embassy in the gardia,

no bank account was ever
registered to a sheryl sheekey

in Spain, so I checked
the Spanish trade register,

and a certain
Guernsey-based solicitor-

touch of the cost
of their crime.

Exactly!

Registered a business in
malaga in August, 1998,

the only name of director
was one Cheryl sheekey.

Now, Cheryl's business
had a corporate account

at the bank of puente
nacional also in malaga.

- Has anyone called the bank?
- Oh yes.

That same month,
Cheryl transferred 717,000

into this account from Guernsey.

Now we know what
went in to Guernsey,

247,000 from Terry,
226,000 from Craig.

So either there was
a massive cockup

with the exchange rate or?

Or there's 244,000
unaccounted for.

318,000, if we include the
house that she bought for gareth.

Are we sure Cheryl was broke?

Absolutely!

Well, you take the house,
the cars and the holidays,

and then yes,
there's nothing left.

So where did it come from,
or rather who did it come from?

Well, that's the
really interesting thing.

A flag was placed on
Cheryl's account in 1999.

Why?

Well, firstly, because
someone tried to draw a check

on the account in January.

Three months
after Cheryl's death.

That's gotta be Terry, isn't it?

Well then he had help.

Because in may, Cheryl
turned up in person.

- [Intense dramatic music]
- [Tyres screeching]

[Car doors slum shut]

- Check around the back.
- Okay.

[Woman screaming]

- Help me!
- Eleanor, you okay?

- What happened?
- [Eleanor gasps]

Can you sit up?

Oh, it was Terry.

He came to ask me
for drugs. [Crying]

He said he'd had enough

that he couldn't live
with the guilt any longer

and that he was
going to end it all.

I refused, then he hit me.

Is this what he was after?

Ketamine.

You know, I use it to
tranquillise the animals.

It's lethal in
sufficient quantities,

especially mixed with alcohol.

Yeah, well Terry
hasn't stopped drinking

since he come
back from the flat?

What did he hit you with?

He slammed my head
against the wall. [Sobbing]

Really, how, when?

Why are you asking all
these questions I've told you?

[Sobbing continues]

Terry!

Terry!

- He's napped.
- [Wood clanks]

Terry!

Is he breathing?

Just about.

[Indistinct radio chatter]

- Is she good to go?
- Yeah, she's fine.

- Can I go with Terry?
- No, you're coming with us.

Okay!

[Door clicks open]

[Footsteps pattering]

[Door slams shut]

Eleanor, did Cheryl ever
try to scam you for money?

Yeah, frequently.

That we grew up together,
she couldn't manipulate me.

What's this about?

I told you Terry
confessed to me.

[File clicks]

Bank of [indistinct]
national, malaga, 1998.

And if you're not familiar,

Cheryl opening a bank account.

The same location, may, 1999,

six months after Cheryl's death.

She's got her passport,

she's keeping the banker talking

while she checks her
photo, all seems okay.

So tantalisingly close.

- Oh dear.
- She's got her bank details,

but it belongs to a
corporate account,

and she doesn't know
the company name.

Bankers love it
when you get angry,

all that passive aggression.

If that's Terry, he is
a hell of a drug addict.

Recognise her?

You killed Cheryl didn't you?

Did you and Terry
plan this together?

Terry, he had
nothing to do with it.

All Terry ever
wanted was Cheryl.

- [Door clicks open]
- Terry's going to be okay.

Found in one of the
outbuildings at the sanctuary.

You'd look really good in that!

Oh, and Fiona called,

they found two of
our Holly bushes

growing behind the stable
block at Eleanor's sanctuary.

So, Adam came
through in the end?

Uh-huh, he even found
traces of donkey faeces

- in one of the fertiliser bags.
- Lovely!

I was gonna put the
sanctuary on the map.

I had architects, plans,
budgets, I wanted school parties

to come here to
learn, I was so excited.

Then she took it all away again?

You knew Cheryl
very well, Eleanor,

how did you fall for it?

She came down one
night in a terrible state,

and kept talking about the
mess she'd made of her life.

And she was tired
of all the parties,

she said I'd helped
her see the light,

she wanted to do something
worthwhile with her life?

She suggested we
buy land, woodland,

we could protect it, leave
something good behind.

She said, she'd put in 50%,
we could raise funds together,

she said it would
make money too.

Land is finite, we
can put animals on it

while it appreciated in
value, we couldn't lose.

When did you suspect
something was wrong?

That last night,

Cheryl told me she'd found
three parcels of woodland,

she said I could decide and
let her know in the morning

that was not like Cheryl.

She'd never let me make
a decision about anything.

It was freezing outside,

she was wearing a new
coat, a summer coat.

I checked her bag, found
her ticket and passport.

And then what happened?

She laughed about it,
after I caught her out.

She babbled on about
me going to Spain with her,

she'd make it special,

but she knew I couldn't go.

- The animals?
- I couldn't abandon them.

But she was abandoning me.

I suggested a drink
for old time's sake.

There's no sign of
violence on the body.

So what did you use, ketamine?

I use it to put the
animals to sleep

so they don't feel any
pain, it was terrible.

If I could have gone
back then I would've.

Now here I am, I hid her body
in a car in the outbuildings,

and later when everyone
was blaming Terry,

I drove the car to Dover.

So people would think
she had gone abroad?

And then you buried
her body in the pool.

That was the worst bit,

putting her body into
those bags. [Sobbing]

But, I wanted to get
her away from our home,

I had to keep thinking of
the good I could do once i-

got the money?

But you didn't get the money,

and you were ready to kill
Terry just to keep your secret.

- How is he?
- [Soft piano music]

I had to do it, I
didn't have a choice.

Yes, yes you did have a choice.

That's what makes you
different from your animals?

- [Sobbing]
- [Soft piano music continues]

We've notified the
Spanish authorities

that Cheryl is now deceased.

The bank is gonna release
the funds to Cheryl's next of kin.

Yeah, there'll still
be a few people

who'll need to be repaid,

but there's over a
million quid in there

and half of that belongs to you.

Time to build a new
life yourself, Terry.

You look after yourself, pal.

You know the best
part about the lottery?

What's that?

It's the time after
you buy a ticket,

when you can dream
that anything's possible.

[Soft piano music]

So lottery tonight,
roll over jackpot,

we got you tickets.

No, don't like the odds.

Finally, you're learning Steve!

So how did it go the
other night with Adam?

That reminds me, I've decided
to ban coffee and donuts.

What?

I don't think that
guys of your age

should be consuming all
of that sugar and caffeine

- and cholesterol.
- Go without breakfast?

If I want coffee and donuts,

- i will have coffee and donuts.
- Or will you now?

Wait a minute, this
is about Adam, isn't it?

You lot set me up, didn't you?

We're just looking
after your best interests.

-Look- -no, you look.

I appreciate that it
came from a good place

but I know what's
best for me right now.

Promise we won't do it again,

but can we keep the
coffee and donuts?

Yes, of course you can.

I might even buy you
a drink, same again.

So, how was the, you know...

- How was the what, Steve?
- You know, the... [whistles]

Oh my god!

- Never mind us.
- Actually it was good.

It was pretty amazing actually.

- [Funky dramatic music]
- [Laughing]

Okay, Ted, confirmed.

20 quid for me,
20 quid for Danny.

Yeah, we don't have
to do this now, do we?

Do what now?

Dan and I had bet that
she had had a bit of rnr

and Ted said he didn't think so.

Sorry, you bet on
whether Sasha had sex?

No, no, no!

I was just interested from
a mathematical perspective,

you know, the algorithmic
balance of probabilities

meant that it was
quite possible.

- Fiona be so childish.
- [Drink sploshes]

[All laughing]

- Lovely.
