Hannah Taylor, 18, abducted from
her home on the 2nd of April 1992.

Two days later, her mother received
a ransom demand for £20,000.

The ransom was paid,
but Hannah wasn't returned.

About three weeks later,

Michelle Davis, 19... She's abducted as she
returns home from a night out with friends.

Neither girl is seen
nor heard of again.

Hannah and Michelle
lived five streets apart.

There's no evidence
they knew each other.

But given the geography and the mo, we work
on the basis the perpetrator was the same.

Now, the original investigation
drew a blank, but in 1998

forestry workers discovered a
decomposed body in epping forest.

And DNA samples on file from the original
investigation showed it to be Hannah Taylor.

However, last month, an inspection
reveals that a technician at the lab

that conducted the DNA tests
wasn't following procedure.

He mixed up the girls' DNA samples. The body
isn't Hannah Taylor - it's Michelle Davis.

Ah, the wonders
of modern science(!)

Michelle Davis's abduction is now a murder
inquiry, and I'll be leading the murder squad.

We have to assume Hannah met with the same fate,
so with the investigation lead by di Wilson,

ucos will be re-examining
the Hannah Taylor abduction.

Although they're separate investigations,
the two teams will share any information.

Maybe you'd like to share
your insight with the rest of us.

No, thanks,
sorry, it's all right.

No, please.

We're all dying to know what your years of
experience and razor-sharp minds have deduced.

Your flies are undone.

Mature, professional,

a really impressive
display - well done(!)

Always check your
flies before a briefing.

First rule of police work. Especially
if you're in a room full of wpcs!

Finished? Right. I need one of you to act as
a liaison officer with di Wilson and his team.

Oh... never been
big on liaising.

If it's a liaison you're
after, Gerry's your man.

Me? Work with that prat?
Nicely volunteered, Gerry.

Thank you.

Finding Hannah's body
would be a good start.

I'm sure they'll be
very happy together.

Morning, all. Morning.
How was the briefing?

Yes, very revealing.

I'm sure di Wilson
valued your input.

Sandra, can I have a word?

Yeah, of course.
Excuse us, then.

Sorry.

The misidentification of
the body as Hannah Taylor...

Family liaison have informed
her mother, Madeline Taylor,

but the legal boys reckon
it's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

She's been understanding, but we need to treat
Madeline Taylor... As a potential suspect.

I was thinking as a distraught parent
who could take us to the cleaners.

Tread carefully. I know I can
trust you to do it by the book.

Of course. Good.

It looks like a perfect sailing day. I'll
skive off early and take the boat out.

I didn't know you had a boat.

You know what they say about
all work and no play, Sandy?

She mouths

erm...

Apparently... I'm your liaison.

What do we know
about Hannah Taylor?

The night she was abducted,
she'd been drinking in the white horse

with a friend
called Suzie blatch.

At about eight o'clock, the barman
claims she and Suzie had a row.

Hannah stormed out. A neighbour saw her come home
alone about 8.20, and that was the last sighting.

Two days later, her mother received
the ransom note. Parent details? Divorced.

Father's a Stephen
Taylor, neurosurgeon.

Working in Chicago at
the time of the kidnapping.

Mother's dr Madeline Taylor, gp.

Oh, she was the police duty
doctor at edgware Nick '86 to '92.

According to Suzie blatch,
Madeline Taylor was also an abusive

alcoholic, or in her words "an evil
bitch". Sounds like a model parent(!)

Ok, Brian, we'll start
with Madeline Taylor.

Jack, see if you can
locate this Suzie blatch.

Er... "Enter victim's
weight in kilograms."

Well, Hannah was... Nine stone.

What's nine stone in kilograms?

Give grandad a hand, would you?

Or it's gonna be another 13
years before we solve this case.

Ooh! Ooh...

Put the kettle on, Mary, love.

I'm going to be
joining you soon.

Suzie blatch?

My name's Jack halford.

I'm from the metropolitan police's
unsolved crime and open case initiative.

What's this about?

When Hannah left the pub,
that's the last time I saw her.

Did you see anyone
follow her from the pub?

Not that I noticed.

At the time, the barman said that you and
she seemed to be having a bit of an argument.

Hannah's mum was getting worse.

Worse? Drinking.

Sometimes... she
used to hit Hannah.

I was trying to get Hannah
to report her to the police.

She wouldn't?

She didn't want to hear it.

Oh, bloody hell!

Will you pack that in?!

It's these corns, giving me gyp.

I should get dr Taylor
to have a look at them.

You even mention your
feet, I'll chop 'em off.

Oh, please!

Car horn then skidding

Dr Taylor, I'm superintendent Sandra Pullman,
and this is my colleague, Brian Lane. Hello.

Come through. Thank you.

So you're re-opening the case?

Actually, the case
was never closed.

We're re-examining it in
light of recent developments.

Recent developments?

The body being wrongly
identified as Hannah.

I'm sorry - that must've
been terrible for you.

I'm not sure it really
changes anything.

We'd like to go over certain
aspects of your statement again.

You said you didn't realise Hannah was missing until
you received a telephone call demanding a ransom.

She was 18.

I had not idea where she
was from one day to the next.

She was abducted from your home. There was
no sign of a struggle? Not that I noticed.

That didn't strike you as odd?

Odd that my daughter was abducted or
odd that there was no sign of a struggle?

And you didn't contact the police until after
you'd paid the ransom and Hannah wasn't returned?

No, that's right, the
kidnapper asked me not to,

and I wanted Hannah back.

No unidentified bodies
that match Hannah Taylor.

No abductions or
murders with a similar mo.

So tell me, what would
you have done in your day?

In my day, we would have beaten a confession out of
whoever we fancied for it, then gone down the pub.

Job done.

Gerry whistles "Dixon of
dock green" theme tune

Hannah's father put
up the ransom money.

You were divorced
at the time? Yeah.

Do you know where we
can contact your ex-husband?

He's dead. He
died five years ago.

Car crash.

His new wife was driving.

It looks like he should've
stuck with me after all.

And you, er... Delivered
the ransom money yourself?

That's right.

I left it in a bin
in Preston park.

Suzie blatch, Hannah's friend, suggested
you and she had a difficult relationship.

I was drinking heavily at the time
if that's what you're trying to ask.

How long have you been sober?

I joined aa two months
after Hannah was taken.

I've been sober ever since.

After you'd been drinking, were
you ever violent towards Hannah?

Did you come here just to ask me questions
that you already know the answer to?

What does it say in your file? There are
suggestions you physically abused Hannah.

What you're really trying to ask me
is whether I murdered my daughter.

The answer is no.

Are you following me?

When someone takes off in a
hurry after a visit from the police,

it usually means they've
got something to hide.

Suzie? What is it?

Hello, Hannah.

God help her patients, if
that's her bedside manner.

Mobile rings

Jack...

What?!

Suzie claims Hannah just turned up
on her doorstep about four years ago.

We've got Hannah's husband, Paul Watkins, down
the corridor. See what he has to say for himself.

Brian, you're with me.

It's like meeting a ghost.

Mum was drinking more than ever.

We were fighting all the time.

I'd just had enough.

I ran away.

So you're saying you
weren't kidnapped.

Did you tell anyone
you were going?

I left a note for my mum.

What did the note say?

Just that I was going, that I wouldn't
be coming back and not to look for me.

Did you see any publicity about
your supposed abduction at the time?

I'd met up with some travellers,
and we hung out at all the festivals.

It's not like you watch
the evening news.

I only found out about the
kidnapping when I contacted Suzie.

And yet you didn't go to the police
to let them know you were alive?

I didn't think anyone
would still be looking for me.

I'd met Paul at glastonbury, and not
long after I was pregnant with Alice.

I had a new life. And
what about your mother?

My mother? Didn't you think
she'd want to know you were safe?

You think I wanted
her back in my life?!

I wouldn't let her come within
a million miles of my daughter.

'Now, after you went missing, the
police made an inventory of your things.'

you didn't take much with
you when you ran away.

Well, it wasn't exactly
a well-thought out plan.

I was a mess. I
wasn't thinking straight.

Did you fake your own kidnapping
to collect the ransom money?

No.

£20,000 would've come in
very handy on the festival circuit.

I made and sold bead bracelets.

If I'd wanted money, I'd
have asked my dad for it.

Did you contact your
father after you ran away?

I thought about it, but...

He's got a new life, too.

Mum drove us both away.

I'm afraid I have some
very bad news for you.

Your father died five
years ago in a car accident.

I'm sorry.

Come on! Ask her if
she knew Michelle Davis.

Why don't you just
shut up and listen?

You might learn something.

You do realise I outrank you?

You don't.

I'm not in the job any more.

But when I was, we had
a guv'nor... Dac bevan.

He outranked me.

I broke his jaw.

Maybe we should
wrap this up for now.

But there is one more thing.

When you were living at home,

do you remember a girl
called Michelle Davis?

Um...

I don't think so.

Who is she?

She lived near you. She was abducted
about three weeks after your disappearance,

and her body was
incorrectly identified as yours.

You thought it was me?

I'd never met her.

It looks like you're
on your own.

Are you all right?

What have you been saying
to her? Paul, it's all right.

Um... Will you tell my
mum you found me?

We'll have to. But you don't
have to tell her where we are.

No, not if you don't want me to.

I don't want her knowing anything
about us. Do you understand? Yeah.

We may have further questions,
in which case we'll be in touch.

Questions about what?

There was a ransom demand, and
your father paid it. That's extortion.

She isn't drinking any more...

Your mother.

She stopped after you left.

This is going to come as a big shock to you after
everything you've been through, but this afternoon...

We discovered that
Hannah is still alive.

No, she can't be.

I questioned her earlier today.

No.

How can you be sure it's her?

Are you absolutely sure?
Yeah, we're absolutely certain.

I don't understand,
how can she...

How can she be alive?

Hannah says that she ran away. She was kidnapped.
She says she doesn't know anything about that.

This is insane!

What about the ransom
demand? The money?

We're still investigating the
circumstances surrounding that.

Where has she been?

She started a
new life for herself.

Where? I'm afraid I-I can't tell you. Surely
I have a right to know where my daughter is.

Just tell me where
she is! I'm sorry, I can't.

Ah...

She doesn't want to see me.

I'm very sorry.

Is there anyone
you'd like to call?

I'd like you to leave now.

I'm asking you to leave!

Do you think she knew
Hannah was alive?

She's a good actress if she did,

but then she'd need to be to
fake her daughter's kidnapping.

Come on, I'll buy
you a takeaway.

You wanted to see me?

Superintendent Pullman, David
Reynolds of the met's legal team.

Hello. How do you do?

I'm afraid we have a problem.

Madeline Taylor's suing? I'm sure I don't
have to tell you this could be very damaging

for our department,
not to say very costly.

But she's suing over the
misidentification of the body. Yes,

and your investigation will
establish whether she has a case.

If Madeline Taylor faked Hannah's kidnapping...
we don't know that. But she's a suspect, correct?

Well, yeah. Well then, we need
to prove it one way or the other.

With this lawsuit hanging over us, David's to accompany
you whenever you or your team speak to Madeline.

Hmm, call me -

day or night.

Is this really necessary?
It's absolutely necessary.

If things go pear-shaped, heads
could roll. Just make sure it's not ours.

We need a result, Sandra.

I think that's all.

Oh, Gerry, nobody's
ever done that to me!

What's that? Er...

"Congratulations on finding
Hannah Taylor. Di Wilson."

Denture Polish. Pile cream?!

Oh, magic! I've just run out.
Save a trip to the chemist's.

Bleeding cheek. I haven't
got a filling in me head, look.

If you had a white one,
you'd have a snooker set.

Di Wilson needs
teaching a lesson.

I am in bloody good Nick, mate.

Oh, yes, in your prime(!)
Ok, Madeline Taylor's suing,

so we've to find out who faked Hannah's kidnapping
and collected the money. What have we got? Brian?

'89 to '92...

Several complaints were lodged
at the general medical council

by patients of Madeline Taylor.

Claims of medical negligence, patients
alleging they smelt alcohol on her breath.

Nothing was ever proved.

Unblemished record ever since.

Maybe she used the ransom money to pay off
one of her patients, stop them shopping her.

There's somebody else she could've been paying
off. In 1991, she was stopped for drunk driving.

She gave a positive breath test.

There was no mention of
her conviction in the case file.

Cos there was no conviction.

At the station, the custody
officer gave her another test.

Suddenly, Madeline
is as sober as a judge.

Reading was rigged.

Maybe her boyfriend had a
word with the custody officer.

I had breakfast with my mate who worked
at edgware when she was duty doctor there.

Rumour has it, she was shagging a married
di, Simon webb. Shall I have a word?

Yeah - you and Jack.
..Brian, go and see Hannah.

Apart from the note, see if there's any other way
Madeline could've known that Hannah left voluntarily.

Ah!

Mum, you're such a doofus!

You're the doofus, doofus!

Hello, again.

Go and see if your
dad needs a hand.

So what's a doofus, then?

Oh! Right!

I wanna talk to you about the
note you left when you ran away.

What about it? Well, your
mother claims she didn't find it.

Do you think she could've known you'd
run away from something you took with you,

something you wouldn't
leave home without?

If she didn't notice I was missing,
she'd hardly notice if my stuff was gone.

Is there any way she could've
missed seeing the note?

You mean other than her being pissed out of
her head(?) You don't know what she was like.

People like her don't
deserve to have kids.

Knocking

come in.

Any chance of a quick word?

Yes, sure. I wanna
ask your advice.

Is this about Michelle Davis?

Yeah. Aren't you supposed
to go to strickland for advice?

On your first murder
inquiry, would you?

Ok, what's the problem?

Hello, there.

Sorry, why are you still here?

I thought I might buy a plant.

This is difficult enough for Hannah.
She doesn't need you hanging around.

No, no no, I'll just
get a plant and go.

What sort of thing
were you after?

Something that's
difficult to kill.

Is it true what they say
about talking to plants?

Probably better for the person
doing the talking than the plant.

Hannah says you
met at glastonbury.

Yeah, that's right.

So what, that must
have been...'92?

Yeah. '92...

Who was playing that year?

Um... loads of people.

Dunno, long time ago.

The last gig I went
to must've been '68.

Tom Jones, swansea,
knickers everywhere.

If you're after difficult to kill, a
cactus is probably a good bet.

So who wants to come
home with me, then?

Once you lose the
link to Hannah Taylor,

Michelle Davis's stepfather comes into the frame...
As a potential killer. But he's got an alibi.

Sarah Davis, Michelle's mum, claims he didn't leave
the house the night Michelle disappeared. I don't know.

Maybe it's something
I'm missing.

Let me have a look at the transcripts
of the interview with Michelle's mother.

Whoa-ho!

Now, that's what I
call a wok burner!

You ought to get something
like this for your place.

What do you wanna
do - cremate me(?)

Gerry standing!

Long time, eh? Yes!

Simon webb, Jack halford.

Jack. How are you?

So... you in the
market, are you?

I could probably do
you a very nice discount.

Just look at this.

Self-closing.

German craftsmanship. Is there anything
the Germans don't do better than us?

Comedy.

So... what can I
do for you gents?

Madeline Taylor.

Duty doctor up at edgware
when you were stationed there.

It rings a bell.
"It rings a bell"(!)

So it should, seeing as
you were shagging her.

Look, whatever this is about, I want
to keep my wife out of it. I bet you do.

Do you remember Hannah,
Madeline's daughter, abducted in '92?

She's alive.

You're kidding. No. She says she
just ran away, did a disappearing act.

We think Madeline Taylor may have faked Hannah's
kidnapping to extort money from Hannah's father. No...

No way.

No, Gerry, trust me, you're
barking up the wrong tree.

Well, give us a
reason to trust you.

Well, I expect
Madeline'll tell you, so...

I know she paid the ransom,

cos I delivered it for her.

Without making it official?

You prat.

Come on, get your coat.

We're going for a
nice walk in the park.

Well, I was...

Drinking too much,
working too hard.

So was Madeline.

And... it just sort of happened.

Oh, Christ, you
know what it's like.

And then when Hannah
got snatched, well...

..Madeline, she didn't
have anybody else. So...

Well, I stayed with her until I
thought she could cope on her own,

and then I got out.

This is it.

The 20 grand was
in a carrier bag.

I just shoved the whole
thing down to the bottom,

and I walked away. You
see anyone hanging around?

This is a public park. There were
lots of people hanging around.

You were a copper.

You wouldn't just walk away.

It's what Madeline wanted. Maybe
you and Madeline were in on it together?

Give me a break. Did you get her
off the drink-driving charge as well?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

All I know is,

I put the money in this bin.

The next day, when Hannah
wasn't returned, I came back.

The money was gone. I thought...

Hannah was dead.

Well, you were
wrong, weren't you?

I hope you're good at selling kitchens, cos you
were a bloody lousy copper... Come on, Gerry.

So do you think that Simon webb and Madeline
Taylor faked the kidnapping together?

He's lying about something.

But why did she tell us she
delivered the ransom money?

Maybe she feels she still owes
him for fixing that breath test.

He is still breathing, isn't he?

Where did you meet your Mary?

Brighton pier, 5th
of August 1961.

She wore a pink dress...

It matched the candy
floss I bought her.

You remember the details, then?

Like it was yesterday.

How about you and Esther? Hmm...

27th of October 1965.

It was finsbury park library.

I saw her trying to sneak a copy of
lady chatterley's lover into her handbag.

I pointed out that this
was technically theft...

But I promised to
let her off if she...

Came for a coffee.

Very smooth.

Any particular reason you ask?

Thinking.

Oi, come on, everyone -
you've gotta see this! Oh-ho!

Is this what we had to see
- a car being towed? Yep!

Why, whose is it? Wait and see!

Any minute now.

Hi.

Night! Night.

Hey, that's my car!

Stop!

Hey! Stop!

I'm a police officer!

Bye-bye!

Gerry, you really do
need to get out more.

Oh, come on, where's your
sense of humour? Gerry!

Ha ha ha!

It's here somewhere.

It's all about
making connections.

I've seen you somewhere before.

Bingo!

See? Told you.

Morning! Where are
you off to? Doctor's.

I suppose you
think that was funny.

Have you got any idea
what he's talking about?

He had my car towed.

Don't involve me in
your pissing contest.

How did you get on with
Michelle Davis's mother?

Yeah, I'm seeing her later.

Ok, just remember
what I said, yeah?

Mummy holding your hand, is she?

Gerry, heel!

Thanks.

Hi, I'd like to make an appointment
to see dr Taylor, please. Your name?

Paul, Paul Watkins.

Are you registered with us?

I thought so.

When was the last
time you saw dr Taylor?

Oh, it's been a while...

1991.

Strong immune system
- it's in the genes.

I'll see if we've
got your notes.

See how you get on with that.

Let us know if you
have any problems.

Bye.

Here we go...

"Watkins, Paul."

I'm afraid you'll
have to re-register.

Oh.

If you could
just fill these in...

Do you know what? It's the
strangest thing... I suddenly feel better.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I feel fantastic.

Well, see you in
another 14 years, then!

Ta-ta!

Gotcha!

Glastonbury festival, 1992 -

it's where Hannah and Paul say they met, yet Paul
couldn't remember a single band that played that year.

Stoned. Yeah, he probably
was, but I still don't buy it.

I did a background check on Paul. What's the one thing
you don't do when you're on the festival circuit?

Wash.

File a tax return.

Yet according to the inland revenue, when Paul and
Hannah reckon they were chilling out in some field,

he was working as a
landscape gardener in Bristol.

The man believed
in paying his taxes.

They gave me his
previous address -

10 rathwell street...

Less than five minutes' walk from Madeline Taylor's
surgery, where Paul was registered as a patient.

Well, he knew Hannah's mum!

She was his doctor.

There's more.
10 rathwell street.

I recognised the address.

It's the same as Alice Simmons',

one of the patients who lodged a complaint with
the general medical council about Madeline Taylor.

So who's this Alice
Simmons to Paul Watkins?

His foster mother.

She's named as Paul's legal
guardian on his medical record.

She died in '91, cancer.

Alice.

They named their daughter after her. Did
Hannah know Paul before she ran away?

Well, there's only
one way to find out.

How did you get access to Paul's
medical records without a warrant?

I was hoping you weren't
going to ask me that.

I just want one case, one case
where we do things by the book.

Is that really too much to ask?!

Glastonbury festival, 1992.

Where you met your husband.

That's right. Amazing coincidence,
seeing as how your mother was his doctor.

You knew Paul before
you disappeared, didn't you?

We think you faked the kidnapping
together and took the 20,000.

Why are you doing this?

Where's Paul?

What's going on?

Where are you taking her?

They think we
faked the kidnapping.

She didn't do it.

Paul... let her go.

They can't prove anything.
What are you saying?

I abducted Hannah, ok? I made
the ransom demand. He's lying!

I won't let you take the blame for something
you didn't do. He's protecting me! Jack...

Leave her!

I wanna make a confession.

The general medical council
knew Madeline Taylor was drinking.

They did sod all.

If she'd have done her job, if she'd been sober,
they could have caught the cancer in time.

My mum could
still be alive today.

So the reason you kidnapped
Hannah was for revenge.

No, it wasn't like that.

I mean, I didn't plan it.

Ok... tell us how it was.

About seven months
after mum died,

I see Madeline Taylor in a pub,
getting pissed with some of your lot.

Our lot? Police.

I overheard them
celebrating solving some case.

The police are
buying her drinks.

She should've been in prison!

Did you speak to her?

The next day...

I couldn't stop thinking
about her, what she'd done.

I knew where she lived.

I went round there
to confront her.

She wasn't there,

but Hannah was.

I didn't mean to take her. I...

I barely remember doing it.

As soon as I got Hannah back to
my place, I realised what I'd done.

I would never have hurt her.

I'll testify. I'll say
he didn't do it.

Perjury's a serious offence.

Think about your daughter.

Who do you think
we've always thought of?

How do I explain this to her?

How me and her dad met?!
Why her dad's in prison?! Coffee.

If taking Hannah was such a big
mistake, why didn't you let her go?

I wanted to, but I knew
she'd be straight to the police.

I was out of me mind.

I came up with this crazy plan -

get some ransom
money, leave the country.

I didn't even have a passport.

Hannah must've been terrified.

Yes, of course, at first.

But she could see I was
as scared as she was.

We started talking...

And never stopped.

I'd never met anyone like her.

After a few days,

I offered to let her
go and hand myself in.

Hannah didn't want me to.

She hated her mum
as much as I did.

She wanted me to
have the money, escape.

She was free to
go, but she stayed.

Hannah stayed willingly?

Every time I went out to get
some food, I thought she'd leave.

She was always
there when I got back.

We fell for each other.

She didn't want to go home
- we knew I'd go to prison.

We left... Together.

And once we'd gone...

We stayed gone.

You left after you
collected the money?

No, we didn't collect the money.

We were sure the police would
be watching it. We were too scared.

We didn't take the money.

Hannah didn't do anything.

Please, we've got a daughter
- we just wanna be left alone.

It doesn't feel like
much of a breakthrough.

Housekeeping, Gerry?

Yeah, I dropped my tea
cup. Thank you very much.

That was the conveyancing solicitor
who sold webb his kitchen showroom.

Webb paid a deposit
of £20,000 in cash.

There's your ransom money.

We'll struggle to prove it.

So Madeline Taylor and webb go scot-free and
poor Paul gets banged up. He kidnapped Hannah!

Fell in love, got married,
raised a daughter, paid his taxes.

We don't get to pick and
choose. We did our job. Some job!

Yeah, well, it's not up for debate,
we do it by the book, and tomorrow...

I've got to present
strickland with what we've got.

And because of us, Madeline Taylor's in line
for a hefty compensation payout from the met.

Oh, strickland's gonna love
us for that. He can't blame us...

Can he?

I don't know about anyone
else, but I need a drink.

Yeah, I'm up for
that. Good idea.

Coming, Brian? I can't. Eh?

I'm off to witness another glorious victory by
the heroic gladiators of the mighty afc wimbledon.

♪ Afc wimbledon! ♪

It might be best if you don't
mention I'm from the met's legal team.

And certainly don't
mention the lawsuit.

Don't worry, I'll pretend
you don't even exist.

Ok, thank you very much, doctor.

As long as you don't worry and you come and see
me in about a week's time. He's sound asleep.

Look at him!

Hannah and Paul knew he'd go to prison,
so they decided to disappear together.

Do you remember Paul?

No.

What about his foster
mother, Alice Simmons?

Paul believed that
there could've been...

Mistakes in her treatment.

He felt you may have been...
Would you excuse me, please?

He clears his throat

this is ridiculous!

Superintendent?

You shouldn't talk to her alone. Deputy assistant
commissioner strickland gave clear orders.

Did those orders preclude
me from going to the toilet(?)

Well, no, but... unless you
want to come in and take notes(?)

Are you all right?

It's all my fault, isn't it?

Everything that's
happened, it's all down to me.

I was terrified that the kidnapping
had something to do with a patient.

Some job that I'd screwed
up because of the drink.

That's why I paid.

I thought I could
make it go away.

I was stupid.

Did, um... Simon webb...

Help you to fix your
positive breath test?

Yeah.

I thought I'd be struck off. It would've
been better for everyone if I had been.

We think webb took the ransom money. Hannah
and Paul say they never collected it.

Fierce knocking superintendent Pullman,
I really must insist you stop this!

What's his problem?

It's your lawsuit.
You got them worried.

Oh, I hope I haven't got you into
trouble. I really didn't mean to do that.

No, i'm... I'm fine.

But when you said that
Hannah didn't want to see me...

For your own daughter to hate
you that much after so much time...

I was looking for
someone to blame.

I'm not gonna press
charges against Paul.

Well, I'm afraid it doesn't
quite work like that.

He's broken the law.

Yeah, but there must
be something I can do.

Please will you help me?

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Oh, shut up!

What's happened to Gerry's desk?

Di Wilson cut it in half.

And where's Gerry?
Welding Wilson's locker shut.

I'm beginning to think those two
have got a little thing for each other.

What's this? I'm trying to find a way to
prove that webb took that ransom money, but...

I think I'm fighting
a losing battle.

Do you know, sometimes
this job really sucks.

As opposed to being a sewerage
worker or a bomb-disposal expert?

The truth is...

The job is what you make it.

Er, superintendent
Pullman? Yeah.

I think you should see this.

Michelle Davis's stepfather.
He's just confessed to her murder.

Michelle's mother? She woke up the night Michelle
disappeared, and her husband wasn't in bed.

He convinced her he was looking for Michelle. She
convinced herself it was true. Congratulations.

Well, thanks for the
advice. Your collar.

By the way, it turns out Michelle's stepfather
read about Hannah Taylor at the time.

He lied about receiving a ransom demand
to make us think there was a connection.

Then I suppose
there was, in a way.

Hi. Dr Taylor, please.

£9,000! You could buy two of those
and still have a couple of grand left over.

You've lost me.
The ransom money.

You're not starting
all that again, are you?

Look, if you think
I took it, prove it.

Ah! Ah...!

Why? You're breaking my hand!

Ah!

It was for my wife.

The job was
destroying the marriage.

I had to get out.
You could've quit.

I had nothing!

Not good enough.

Ah!

Self-closing drawers. German.

Oh, right, well, if you just take a
seat, we'll see what we can do.

Ok, thank you.

I'm here to see
superintendent Pullman.

I understand you wish to retract
the statement you made in 1992

concerning your
daughter's kidnapping.

Would you give this
to Hannah for me?

And...

Tell them i'm...

I'm sorry about everything.

And thank you.

I didn't do anything.

So let me get this straight...

Paul Watkins says that he kidnapped Hannah
Taylor, demanded a ransom, but didn't collect it.

Hannah Taylor says that she wasn't
kidnapped, she simply ran away.

Former di Simon webb says that
he delivered the ransom payment,

but Madeline Taylor now claims
that, despite her original statement,

there was no ransom
demand or payment.

Yeah.

We were supposed to be tying up
loose ends, not finding new ones.

But there is some good news.
Oh, please, please I'd love to hear it.

Madeline Taylor has
agreed to drop her lawsuit.

Her lawyer will contact you in the
morning. Oh, now, that is good news.

Christ knows what the
cps will make of this little lot.

'In view of this, there are
insufficient grounds for prosecution, '

and that's the matter closed.

So what happens now?

Nothing, that's it. Oh, er...

Your mother asked
me to give you this.

What's in it?

I think you should read it.

Madeline Taylor says
Hannah wasn't kidnapped?

When did this happen? While you
were bonding at mighty wimbledon.

Sandra doesn't exactly push
her, does she? She rigged it.

Sandra Pullman? No way.

I know a rigged
statement when I see one.

It's one of his few
areas of expertise.

Here, maybe we're rubbing off
on her. In your dreams, Gerry.

Now, it's funny you
should say that...

So... what's the verdict?

There's not enough evidence to prosecute
Paul Watkins, so the case is closed.

Hey-hey, I'll get them in!

You've done good, girl.

I don't suppose there's any chance of you
telling strickland that our boss helped you out?

And why would I wanna
do something like that? Huh!

Yeah, I'm sure you'll go far.

Yeah, I intend to.

Can I set up a tab?
Yeah, no problem.

It'll be here by the till, sir.

Look, what do you
say we call a truce, eh?

No more practical jokes?

Yeah, all right.

That locker...

Very funny.

Yeah, I thought
so. Yeah, me too!

It wasn't my locker.

What can I get ya?

Oh, er, a glass of...

Cheers!

No, um, a bottle
of dry white wine,

two treble malt
whiskies with lots of ice,

a pint of mineral water, and give us four of
those cigars, and bung in some crisps and nuts.

I've got a card behind the bar.

Wilson.

Do you want any cash back?

Yeah, give us 50 quid.
