[Phone rings]

If the good lord had intended
man to dive underwater

he'd have put lead
weights in his head.

Nightmare.

Jane needs a load
of dosh for a new roof.

And now Alison tells me
she needs her patio relaid.

Ooh, this is interesting.

When I was a staff
officer at the yard,

police divers were part of
my remit, they were damn fine.

I just wondered if you
could help me financially.

Actually, Jack, I
qualified as a diver

when I was on holiday.

Oh, takes all sorts.

I never knew you
were a diver, Sandra.

How long'd that
take you to learn?

Not very long, just a few
days to learn the basics.

Remember hans and lotte
hass on telly when we were kids?

[Gerry] Oh-ho, not many.

[Brian] I never missed
that programme.

No, nor me.

What, you were hooked on diving?

No, no. No, it wasn't that.

No it was, well, this
was the 50s, you see?

It was the only show on TV

where you could see
a fit bird in a swimsuit.

How old were you Gerry?

Well, dunno, er,
nine, 10, I suppose.

Yeah, I've always had
a thing for older women.

Now there aren't any.

This is fresh evidence in
the case of Marie sinclair,

shot dead.

Sinclair, sinclair.

Yes, 1989.

[Sandra] That's the one.

Married woman,

was having an affair with
her husband's employee.

Yeah, and his name
was Michael Dudley.

He disappeared, along with
the security Van he was driving,

around the time of the murder.

And the husband was
in the frame for it, right?

Andrew sinclair.

Dudley's disappearance
has never been solved.

The investigating officers
at the time believed

that sinclair killed
his wife and the lover.

The crown prosecution service

felt there wasn't enough
evidence to proceed.

[Brian] That one.

Right now, this place
is called winfield lake,

it's a disused quarry that
was flooded 30-odd years ago.

Now being turned into a
commercial water sports centre.

Are these our guys?

No, no, no, they're doing
an underwater survey,

first time it's been done.

Here we go.

Hang on a second,

- what is...
- It's an old armadillo.

Oh is, you know.

I take it this is the Van
that Dudley was driving?

Yeah.

[Jack] Any sign of
the missing man?

No, the divers didn't
attempt a search,

they just reported it and
then sealed off the site.

Yeah, but it could
be a knockoff.

What was it carrying?

Bullion? Cash?

No, no, no, no, it was just a
straightforward courier run.

The driver was delivering
and picking up packages,

nothing of high value insurance.

So, I'm tasking you

with re-investigating
the sinclair murder

and Dudley's disappearance.

So this time you want
sinclair done and dusted.

No, I want closure, Gerry,

and I think ucos can deliver.

Bollocks.

Would you care to expand
on that, Mr. Sinclair?

You're not going to
reinvestigate my wife's death,

you're here to have another
go at pasting me up for it,

aren't you?

[Sandra] New
evidence has turned up

relating to Michael
Dudley's disappearance.

Well?

The armoured vehicle he was
driving has been discovered

at the bottom of a flooded
quarry, winfield lake.

Given what's been found,
and where that might lead,

is there anything
you'd like to say now

that might help us to
clear the matter up?

I've always told the truth.

Well, let's get back
to basics, shall we?

Where were you on the morning
of September the 16th 1989?

I was on the road, I done a
visit to a potential customer

who wanted a quote for
a regular payroll delivery.

We've got, you down as
security company proprietor,

did that include sales?

Yeah.

We were a
tuppence-ha'penny security firm,

I did a bit of everything.

We got taken over shortly after.

Your wife was shot
dead that morning.

According to the
original investigation,

you would have had time to
go home after that meeting,

then get back to the office
where you were arrested.

Yeah, but I didn't.

What was your relationship
with Michael Dudley?

He was one of the drivers.

We were mates, really.

Did you know Dudley was
having an affair with your wife?

I've been through all this.

Yes, well, we're going
to go through it all again.

[Suspenseful music]

- [Water splashes]
- [Gravel crunches]

If sinclair killed his
wife at their home,

he couldn't have
dumped the Van here

and then got back to his office.

Why not?

Because it's too far, he
wouldn't have had time, surely.

No, it's easy peasy.

I mean, he wouldn't have messed
around on the a and b roads,

would he?

He'd have done a
dogleg on the motorway.

[Brian] That's even further.

No, but it's much, much quicker.

That's what motorways
are for, Brian.

You're thinking like a cyclist.

[Engine knocks]

You had this
converted to diesel?

No. Just needs a bit
of attention, that's all.

Mr. Wilmslow?

Gerry standing, Brian Lane.

Nice to meet you.

[Brian] 'Ow do?

So you're the owner
of the site, right?

My company acquired it for
development earlier this year.

How secure is it?

- It's a big site.
- [Bird warbles]

A crested grebe.

A what?

[Bird warbles]

Isn't it wonderful

how nature reclaims a
blighted industrial landscape?

We'll soon deal with nature.

Marie worked part time with
me on the administration side.

Mick Dudley, he was
an interesting bloke.

A good laugh.

The three of us got into
the habit of drinking together,

going out for a meal.

Sounds cosy.

Friends, that's all.

Well,

that's what I thought.

It wasn't that way for Marie.

And how did you find that out?

Marie told me

that she and Mick were
attracted to each other.

We didn't have any secrets.

And what about your feelings?

I wanted to know
what that meant for us.

I didn't want to lose her.

[Sandra] What did she say?

She said she loved me,

there was no question
of her leaving me for him,

it was just a physical thing.

And your reaction?

Marie knew her own mind.

If that's what she wanted,
if he didn't threaten us,

I wasn't going to
stand in her way.

We had an open relationship.

You saying you
never even got angry?

Maybe angry inside
myself, but never violent.

Not with Marie.

I loved her.

I still do.

[Gerry] So anyone could
get access to the site?

Yes.

They've been using it for
years, nobody tried to stop them.

Who are they?

Divers, mostly.

It's well known as what
they call an unregulated site,

that's how we know it'll
work as a commercial venture.

So what's the layout
underwater here?

Well, what you've
got is a broad shelf

at about nine, 10 metres
over on the far side.

That's where the novice divers

would do what's called
their open water training.

[Paul] Yeah.

Then there's a drop off
down to 25, 30 metres.

And just here, it goes
down to 40 metres or more.

And that's where
the Van was found?

Mm. That set us back
in development terms,

every minute your
inquiry costs me money.

So, you had a civilised
discussion with Marie,

what about Mick Dudley?

We had to work together.

You don't start that
sort of discussion

during the tea break, do you?

Do you mean to tell me
you were working normally

with a friend who was
sleeping with your wife?

Maybe that makes me look like

some sort of creep in your eyes,

it doesn't make me a criminal.

How long did this go on?

Only a few days, and then

Marie was killed and
Mick went missing.

So a few days after you learned

that your wife is
having an affair,

she is murdered and
her lover disappears.

I know how it looks.

I've had all this
aggravation before

because of how it looks.

And you still maintain
that Dudley killed Marie?

It's bloody obvious.

Marie must have tell
Mick what the score was,

it was just a fling,
they had no future.

Mick killed Marie and, well,

he did a runner and
left me to take the blame.

Extensive efforts were
made to find him at the time,

both here and overseas, and
yet he was never sighted again.

Very wise of him.

The more obvious explanation
is that you shot Marie,

killed Dudley and
disposed of his body.

Oh yeah?

So where's the evidence?

Where's Dudley's body?

Where's the gun?

[Phone rings]

Sandra Pullman.

Oh, hi, thanks for
getting back to me.

So what can you do for us?

You cannot be serious.

This is a murder inquiry,
of course it's urgent.

Well, the actual crime
took place in 1989.

Well, if that's the best
you can do for me,

I'll have to live
with it, won't I?

Cheers.

Underwater search unit?

They're involved in two
current investigations

and won't be able to mount

a full-scale search and
recovery operation for us

for at least a week.

[Brian] Look, Gerry,
this is what happens

when you use your
enhancement tool.

Good pictures aren't they? Yeah.

[Brian] Here it
comes, here it comes.

What are you doing?

This is fascinating.

Now, look.

You zoom in,

and you can see
the rear door lock.

It's been blown open.

So that means that
someone blew the lock

and then dumped
the Van in the lake.

Well, that would be the
lay person's view, naturally.

We've been talking to
an explosives expert.

And?

Well,

the propagation
of a pressure wave,

a sound or shockwave
from an explosive blast,

is different in air from water.

What he's trying to say is,

the explosion took
place under water.

[Brian] That is interesting.

[Sandra] It sure is.

Yeah, the Van went
into the lake intact,

then a diver went
down and blew it open.

I wanna know what
was on board that Van.

[Engine rumbles]

'Course, this is
all before my time.

My group didn't get involved
in the security business

until the early 90s.

Yeah, sinclair's firm
was our first acquisition.

You've acquired
a few since then.

Well, that's how I do business.

So what did you do before then?

Medical equipment and
supplies, export mostly,

the middle east.

Would you still have the
records for sinclair's firm?

Ooh, now you're asking.

Well, we've, er,

we've got some archives
down in the basement,

but god knows what's there.

[Upbeat music]

This way.

Straight on.

You know, we've got lots of, uh,

ex-policeman working with us.

[Brian] Oh yeah, you would.

Yeah. A good ex-copper's
worth his weight in gold.

Huh, I wish I was.

Oh yeah, I had an
estimate for the car,

new short engine, 1,500 quid.

Oh, you're on your
own with this lot.

See, what we need is
a, what would you call it?

Manifest bill of lading.

Something to show just
what was on board the Van.

Oh, there wouldn't be
a document like that.

How come?

Well, think about it
as a post office Van.

There's lots of parcels
from everywhere.

I mean the contents
could be anything.

Yeah, but see, each
package would be numbered,

so somewhere there'd be a
record of who sent each package.

The consignors, yes.

So in principle, you
could trace the consignors

whose stuff was
on a particular Van?

And they would
tell you what it was.

Well, theoretically
that's possible, yes.

If they still existed,
or if they kept records.

But it'd mean matching
piles of documents.

Let's get matching.

1990,

aha, 1989.

Oh, look at that.

Yes, yes.

Well I don't envy you your job.

Has its moments.

Just before you get stuck
in, can I have a word?

Yeah, what?

This parcel came today.

Oh yeah?

I thought it was
my new curtains,

so I started to open it,

and then I realised that
it is addressed to you.

That's all right, I have
no secrets, Esther.

Well, I was beginning to wonder.

It appears to be
rubber garments.

Fantastic.

Did you send for this?

Confession, I panicked
a bit about your size,

so I opted for petite, yeah.

Oh, you got something for me?

Yeah, his'n'hers. [Chuckles]

And look, they come with
matching booties and hoods.

Oh,

smell that.

Oh, where did you
get this notion from?

Oh, I fancied
doing this for years.

Plus we were watching
this video at work-

video? I think I need a drink.

And there'll be none of that
when we take the plunge,

drinking and diving don't mix.

What?

Drinking and scuba diving.

You want me to
go diving with you?

Of course diving.

What else would I
want with wet suits?

I want us to be buddies, Esther,

exploring the silent world,

learning the
secrets of the deep.

Absolutely not, never.

Why not?

I have only ever seen
you flopping about on a lilo.

How well can you actually swim?

Like a dolphin.

Oh please. [Laughs]

Oh, dear.

[Sandra] Right, let's
look at where we've got to.

[Jack] Sinclair still
denies, killing his wife

and he didn't strike me

as an ideal candidate
for a crime of passion.

[Garry] Why not?

'Cause there's not much
there in the way of passion,

he's creepy.

[Jack] And the fact that
the Van was broken into

suggests there's more to
it than just a love triangle.

So, Michael Dudley's
disappearance.

Well, we can't trace any
of Dudley's movements

after he picked up a
consignment in his Van

near sinclair's house.

Now, he could have
gone to sinclair's house,

and become victim number two.

Or killed Marie and done a bunk.

Amazing how
popular scuba diving is.

Brian, can we
concentrate on the case?

All sorts of people
qualified as divers,

prince Charles, fidel Castro.

Thank you, Brian.

Michael Dudley.

Eh?

I've just checked Dudley's name,

along with Marie
and Andrew sinclair

on the UK divers register.

Michael Dudley
qualified as a divemaster

when he was in Australia.

Bloody hell.

So if it was Dudley
who killed Marie

and organised his
own disappearance.

And then dumped
the Van in the lake.

Then, as an experienced diver,

came back later to
retrieve something.

And hence the door blown open.

Do you think Dudley could
have known about the lake

through diving with one of
the clubs that train there?

Well, we're never
going to find out, are we?

They were all trespassing.

[Steve] Well, thanks
for coming in Gerry.

I take it this isn't
police business.

No, no.

In fact, I need some
help myself right now.

And I got the sense that
you were a bit pressed.

Financially.

Not half.

Well uh, I need somebody
to cover my late shift

in the control room.

Nothing happens
at that time of night.

Put your feet up, read a book.

And, uh,

cash in hand, if that suits.

[Upbeat music]

When can I start?

Scotch?

Yeah, why not

[Man on radio] Panther
19 to panther control.

Do what?

[Man on radio] Panther 19
to panther control, receiving.

Yeah. I'm sorry about that.

Panther 19 receiving.

[Man on radio] Yeah,
soon be leaving Heathrow.

19, leaving
Heathrow, understood.

[Keyboard clatters]

How's it going?

Blimey, you work late.

Well, penalty of
being the guv'nor.

You got the hang of it?

Well it's hardly
rocket science, is it?

There's only a
couple of vans active.

It's important to have a
reliable man in charge.

Gerry.

Ah, yeah.

Thanks Steve.

Am I right in thinking
that the tax man

doesn't need to know about this?

I learnt my business skills
in the middle east. [Laughs]

Rest easy.

Cheers.

[Upbeat music]

[Door clicks]

Good boy.

Rutabaga.

I mean, you've got
a kid at university

up to her ears in student loans
and she needs a new laptop.

Well, you can't say no, can you?

Five letters.

But where's it come from, eh?

My motor needs fixing,
the bank are on my back.

Morning Brian.

Morning all. Beautiful morning.

[Desk thuds]

Who put that there?

Rutabaga, five letters.

I mean, how can they ask you

to choose between your motor
and your own flesh and blood?

Rutabaga?

Rutter what?

It's a crossword.

God, where were you last night?

You look like death.

Morning, Jack.

Actually I'm having
trouble sleeping.

It's financial stress.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, cracked it.

What?

I know what dive
clubs use winfield lake.

Seriously?

Deep on the web,
in the blogosphere,

information sleeps
like a beautiful Princess,

only awaiting a kiss

from a subtle and
sophisticated search algorithm.

Just tell us what you've found.

Certainly, deepdeepdive.
Com newsletter

carried out a
survey of accidents

in inland dive sites
over the last 15 years.

Winfield lake
only featured once.

Decompression sickness.

That's bends, Gerry.

Here we go.

Winfield lake, accident,
December 1995.

An emergency call was made

reporting a diver with
severe pains in the joints

and some sensory
neural dysfunction.

The symptoms were present
shortly after the diver surfaced.

First aid was
administered at the time

by the diver's companion
a miss Trisha king.

An air ambulance was called

to carry the diver to the
nearest re-compression chamber.

What was the outcome?

The patient made
a full recovery.

Well, good luck to him,
but where does that get us?

Most clubs using
winfield only used it

for training at the
10 metre level.

Some clubs went down
to the shelf at 30 metres.

This diver, who required
emergency assistance,

went down to 45.

Where the Van was found.

The diver's name
is Martin viner,

the club is osprey subaqua.

Rutabaga is a turnip or a Swede.

Oh yeah, thanks.

Hold on, have a listen.

What about this?

Martin viner turns out to be

Michael Dudley.

Well, what's the betting?

50 quid says he isn't.

You're on.

[Sandra] Martin viner?

Uh, yeah, but actually
I'm really busy here.

Cash only, please.

Detective
superintendent Pullman,

I'm afraid this is official,

we need to talk to
you about winfield lake.

Oh, right,

well if just give me a
minute to get finished up,

I'll talk to you upstairs
in the clubhouse.

Fair enough.

It's this way.

Yeah, come on through.

Quite a setup you've got here.

Well the members enjoy
it, and it seems to work well.

What exactly are your
positions in the club?

Well, we're both
qualified instructors.

I'm the company secretary,
and Martin is the diving officer.

We'll need to talk
to you separately.

Yeah, sure. Let's get it on.

I can't see why this
is a police matter.

I mean, diving in winfield
lake might be trespassing,

but no one's ever really
seemed that bothered about it.

We're not here to
talk about trespassing.

We're re-investigating
a disappearance.

And a murder.

No, I don't know
any of these people.

Not this one?

Michael Dudley.

So, he was never a
member of this club?

Not to my knowledge, no.

We're going to have to check
all the membership records.

Sure. But like I said, I've
never seen him before.

Sorry, no, I don't
know these guys.

I've never dived
with any of them.

- No?
- No.

Okay. Let's move on.

How many times have
you dived winfield lake?

Well, I'd have to
check the records,

but I'd say we used to go,
what? Four or five times a year.

That was before the
new owners got heavy.

It's a great place for a
bit of open water training.

You're saying you've never
been any deeper than that?

Oh, what me personally?

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I
did actually, just the once.

Me and Trisha, you know,
it wasn't a training session,

we just wanted to
see how deep it was.

I got the bends,
didn't I? Silly me.

So, what did you see down there?

Well, at a high level, you know,

there was dace, perch, crayfish.

At the bottom there
was this big old pike.

How about an
armoured security Van?

No.

This was taken at the
bottom of winfield lake.

Well, I'll be buggered.

Look at that.

Well, you never know, do you?

You didn't know it was there?

No.

Well, i'd've been
really interested.

[Brian] You record all
your dives in a log book?

Yeah, since I qualified, 1994.

Yeah, we're going to
have to check those as well.

Sure.

But you won't find any
mention of armoured vans.

And all your log book entries
are fully accurate are they?

Yeah, of course.

I find it very hard to believe
that you didn't see that.

Well, it's a large
body of water.

The viz is none too clever.

- The what?
- Visibility.

You could lose a double
Decker bus down there.

[Jack] Come on.

What's your experience
of British inland dive sites?

Actually, I've done all of
my diving in the tropics.

We're not talking

warm-water girls'-choir
stuff here, Sandra.

It's very different.

[Brian] What's this one?

Spanish dancer, Egypt.

And here.

That's a cleaner shrimp,
I took that in Australia.

[Brian] You
certainly get around.

Makes you wonder

why the bottom of winfield
lake's so attractive, doesn't it?

But anyway, I'm
going to find out.

- What, diving?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, we're laying
on a little expedition

for the superintendent,
check out her diving skills.

Fantastic.

Excuse me.

Are you out of your tiny mind?

I made a command
decision, end of story.

You're a real lifesaver

pleased to help.

Oh, by the way,

is your firm making any progress

with all that bumf
from the archives?

Don't ask me, I'm
only the monkey.

The organ grinder
is going scuba diving.

Really?

What's that in aid of?

We found this diving club

that might have had
access to the Van.

Is that right?

Yeah.

So the guv'nor is
going to have a look,

see what's down there.

Well, good on her. [Chuckles]

This is seriously out of order.

They are well dodgy,

and she's putting
herself on offer

underwater with one of them.

It's a lake, not the
Bermuda triangle.

He has to come to
the surface again.

God you look knackered,
what have you been up to?

[Grunts] And he's a
wrong'UN if ever I've seen one.

What's he doing now?

[Brian] They're checking
each other's equipment.

Thanks.

Yeah, right.

I mean, she'd stamp at
me doing that, wouldn't she.

She's not going down with you.

[Martin] All set?

[Sandra] Sure, yeah

now just remember, Sandra,

it's not the gin-clear
water of the tropics.

[Outboard motor whines]

[Upbeat music]

[Water splashes]

[Ethereal music]

The conquest of inner space,

I wish it was me.

I wish it was you too.

[Air bubbles ripple]

Easy to forget

what a hostile
environment it is down there.

Decompression sickness
apart, there's hypothermia,

nitrogen narcosis,

burst lung.

Oh, knock it off will you?

[Paul] Morning.

- All right?
- Mr. Wilmslow.

Any idea how long
this is going on for?

As long as it takes, basically.

[Tense music]

Shouldn't they be up by now?

[Suspenseful music]

[Dramatic music]

And you're confident
of that result?

Magic, cheers. Bye

Ballistics have just confirmed

that that gun
fired the fatal shot.

Can we tie it to sinclair?

We'll have another go
at him. Ready, Jack?

You bet.

[Upbeat music]

[Gerry] So, what you doing?

Oh, blimey.

You're not still fretting

about the time it
took sinclair are you?

September 16th 1989.

Articulated lorry
jackknifes on motorway,

causing massive tailback.

He'd have had to
use the a and b roads.

Well, you put your foot down,

it can still be done
in time, trust me,

[Jack] That gun was found
in Michael Dudley's Van

at the bottom of winfield lake.

[Sandra] It fired the
shot that killed your wife.

Yes.

The forensic science laboratory
is examining it right now.

It's amazing what they
can find these days, Andrew.

Not just fingerprints, human
hair, sweat, traces of tissue

can all provide identifiable
fragments of DNA.

Now, if there's
anything you can tell us

about this weapon,

then the sooner you
get it off your chest,

the better it'll be for you.

Yeah,

okay.

It's my gun.

[Engine revs]

Has the engine stalled?

No.

It's not making the rattling,
grinding, banging noise.

No 'cause it's had a
small fortune spent on it.

Thought you said
you were hard up.

Had a bit of luck.
Now get on with it.

Certainly.

This is where Andrew
sinclair met his customer.

So, he'd have had to
go on home from here,

kill his wife, and
presumably her lover,

then make his way all
the way to winfield lake,

dump the Van, and the gun,

then get all the way
back to his office

before the police came for him.

Piece of piss.

So, show me.

[Engine revs]

I wanted the gun for a
bit of personal protection.

I bought it off a bloke in a
pub for a monkey, no history.

Bloody stupid as it turned
out, but there you are.

You killed your wife,
you killed Dudley,

and then you dumped the
gun and the Van in the lake,

isn't that right?

No.

[Engine rumbles]

[Tyres squeal]

Right, this is the
scene of the murder

and we're already running late.

Yeah, but there wasn't so
much traffic in '89 was there?

Sinclair's gotta kill
Marie, and kill Dudley,

or take him prisoner,

so we'll add on 10 minutes.

No, five.

Split the difference,
seven-and-a-half.

All right.

Go.

[Engine revs]

Where's Dudley's body, Andrew?

I didn't kill Dudley,
I didn't kill Marie.

Michael Dudley had
the gun, I lent it to him.

What for?

You know what young
men and guns are like.

He fancied playing
at Clint Eastwood,

blowing away a few tin cans.

Why didn't you
tell us this before?

I didn't think it
would be credible.

It's not, tell the truth.

- [Engine revs]
- [Gravel crunches]

Yeah, right.

So, now sinclair's gotta
dump the Van in the lake.

Two minutes, top whack.

All right, I'll indulge
you on that one, Gerry.

But answer me this.

If sinclair drove the
Van here and dumped it,

then how'd he get
back to his office?

He'd already left
a vehicle here.

No, no, no, here's a good one,

he put a motorbike
in the back of the Van

and got away on that.

Ooh, you're clutching
at straws, Gerry.

Anyway, you might
as well admit defeat,

we've only got 20 minutes left.

All right, I'll put
my foot down.

- [Engine revs]
- [Gravel crunches]

- Why won't he just roll over?
- [Phone rings]

Maybe he's telling
the truth, or some of it.

Sandra Pullman.

Traffic division?

[Upbeat music]

Yes, he is known to me.

[Traffic officer] He claims
he was on police business,

your unit.

[Cheery music]

Yes, ma'am.

[Gerry] Well?

Detective superintendent
Pullman says, "bollocks."

[Gerry sighs]

Unorthodox conduct from
the civilians in the team,

but you're a police
officer Sandra,

and you're not qualified to
dive in the course of your work.

There are profound health
and safety implications.

We found new evidence, sir.

-Well- -the fact is, sir,

that this inquiry
demanded resources

that were not made
available to us,

like the underwater search unit.

And surely the
responsibility for this

must lie at a higher
level of command.

Yes, yes.

But surely the real question
is what is the way forward?

Well, Brian and Gerry
have already shown

that sinclair couldn't possibly

have dumped the gun and
the Van in the time available.

If he did kill his wife,

then he was working
with someone else.

This isn't a straightforward
crime of passion,

there was something
else going on,

and we think it's to do
with the contents of the Van.

Brian.

Yes, Gerry and I have worked
through the documentation.

We've traced all the consignors

whose packages should
have been on board,

except for one outfit, gryphon
mount technical services.

Which doesn't exist.

And according to
company registries,

phone books and business
directories, didn't even then.

It's got all the
signs of a front

for something very dodgy,

drugs maybe.

Now they were still doing
business with sinclair

up to '89, but then
it stopped dead

as soon as Dudley and
the Van disappeared.

So we need to know if the
gryphon mount packages

are still on board that Van.

Because if not, if they
were being ripped off,

this could be the
key to the whole case.

Well, the underwater search unit

still say they can't
prioritise this case.

Fine, then I'll do another dive

and try and
establish an inventory.

Sandra, for god's sake.

Well, clearly this is a matter
of debate within the team,

so nobody can regard it as
a decision I've sanctioned.

[Gentle music]

Gerry.

[Gerry] Uh-oh.

Jack, do me a favour, will you?

What?

Go back with Gerry
and have another look

at the archives
at Palmer's place.

Why don't you go?

Oh no, I can't,
I'm going diving.

Well, I'm part of
the backup team.

And your problem is?

It's not my problem,
it's your problem.

Look, you don't need
to do this diving lark,

we got professionals
for that sort of thing.

Not currently available.

But you're the guv'nor,

you shouldn't be
sticking your neck out,

you've got responsibilities.

My responsibility is to
see that the job is done.

Yeah, but that's not
why you're doing it, is it?

You want to prove
something, don't you?

That you're top girl, the
best, the fastest, the bravest.

Balls.

The very word.

And you want some.

No, no, no.

What's pissing you off

is the fact that a girlie is
doing things you can't do.

It's called old-fashioned
male chauvinism.

Yeah, well maybe so.

But whatever
you want to call it,

what's pissing me off is the
fact that I have to hang around

like a spare part when
you might be in danger.

Gerry that's really-

and if you say,
"that's sweet of you,"

I'll punch your lights out.

You and who's army?

[Gerry laughs]

Look, it's not just me-

I hate saying this,

but it really matters to me

that I've got you and
the other two dinosaurs

watching my
back, it means a lot.

Yeah, well.

Good.

[Scoffs] Don't take the piss.

[Tense music]

[Air regulator hisses]

[Paul] Be nice to
get all this sorted.

[Brian] Certainly will.

I've got plant and
equipment waiting to move in.

[Water splashes]

Hello Gerry, you on for tonight?

Ah, Steve, um, yeah

I'd like you to meet
a colleague of mine,

Jack halford, Steve
Palmer, the big boss here.

Glad to meet you Jack.

I thought you'd got
everything you wanted.

Well, yeah, but
we reckon we know

what packages
were aboard that Van.

So the inquiry's taken
a bit of a new turn.

Oh, well, if you can let me
know what you're looking for

I'll point you in
the right direction.

Well, actually, what
we are looking for-

it's all right, Mr. Palmer,

I think we can manage
on our own, thank you,

just have a look around,
see what we can find.

Right?

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Yeah, cheers.

What was all that about?

There's an inquiry in progress,

I don't think we should
tell members of the public

any more than they need to know.

We're on the same side.

You and Palmer?

Gerry, what's going on here?

What was all that about,
"are you on for tonight?"

Look, I do a bit of work
for Palmer, that's all.

In my own time, of course.

You what?

I'm not a copper anymore,
the same rules don't apply.

How much money we talking about?

Ah, wages that's all.

And how you paid for the car?

Exactly.

You're taking a hell of a risk.

Don't worry, Steve's
all right, he's straight.

Is that a fact?

Yeah.

Ah, look at this.

Duty rotas.

And these two boxes
cover the entire period.

Right, come on.

Let's get outta here.

[Tense music]

[Water bubbles]

[Intense music]

[Trisha] The north side of
winfield lake, it's 14 metres.

I'm administering cpr,
he's not responding.

Do you hear me?

You've got to get
here immediately.

Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

[Water splashes]

What happened?

[Sandra] He had
some kind of seizure.

[Trisha] Come on.

There's another body
at the bottom of the lake.

Oh, terrific.

That really puts
the tin hat on it.

[Trisha] No. [Sobs]

[Sandra] Martin
viner was murdered,

his number two tank was
filled with pure oxygen.

[Gerry] That's what
we all breathe isn't it?

No, Gerry, we breathe
air, which is 70% nitrogen.

Breathe pure oxygen at more
than 12 metres or so underwater

and it becomes a poison.

I told you, sheer
bloody madness.

All right, Gerry, point taken.

Who filled the tanks?

The club's got its
own compressor,

but the murder squad have
sealed it off as a crime scene.

They're willing to pool
information with us, though.

What about the other body?

The documentation on the
body was that of Michael Dudley.

He was carrying a
considerable weight

in the pockets of his uniform,

which stopped the body
from rising to the surface.

The weight being two packages

sent by gryphon mount
technical services.

That's right,

including some
high value jewellery.

But this still leaves

most of the consignment
unaccounted for.

Cause of death?

Well, no obvious signs
of serious violence.

Certainly no gunshot wounds
or deep penetrating trauma,

but if you look at the hands,

you will see fractures
on the fingers,

suggesting he scrabbled at
something rather desperately.

At the Van door?

How about this?

He intends to dump the Van,

presumably with most
of the gear on board,

he can always go
back with scuba gear

and dive for it when
the heat's died down.

Yeah, but what about
the gear in his pockets?

Well, maybe he stashed
a couple of packages

just to tide him over.

Go on, Brian.

Right, so when it comes to
ditching the Van in the lake,

he doesn't get out in time.

So the Van sinks, but
he can't get the door open

because of the water
pressure, but he can't help trying.

So he breaks his fingers,
clawing for the door handle.

No, but he wasn't
found in the Van was he?

No, so, as the Van
fills up with water,

the pressure equalises,
then he can get out.

But by then, it's very deep,

too deep to get
back to the surface.

Especially weighed
down with all that bling.

So, the consignment's
still intact

until somebody comes
along and blows the lock off.

I'll tell you what, this
is quite unusual stuff,

I'd say it was middle eastern.

Look at the big stones, yeah.

I've seen jewellery
just like this,

and only the other day,

at the dive club.

Yep.

Same materials
and same hallmark.

I reckon this little lot's
worth about five grand.

You and Martin viner
found the Van didn't you?

Yes.

When?

1995, before the
decompression incident.

Martin wanted to find the
deepest part of winfield lake.

We came across the Van.

When we surfaced, I said to
him that we should report it,

but.

Go on.

Martin blew the lock off.

He was really pissed off to
find out it was just parcels.

But then he opened a couple
and, we were really careful.

Just opened one
parcel at a time.

We sold the stuff at
jewellers all over the country.

Not all of it, eh?

There was a few
pieces I couldn't resist.

Silly.

What can you tell us about
how Martin died, Trisha?

Martin had been getting
threatening phone calls,

anonymous.

Saying what?

A man's voice said,
"it's payback time.

I want what's mine, you
know what I'm talking about."

And how did Martin react?

Martin just stonewalled.

He just said, "you got the wrong
number, mate," and hung up.

When did this start?

After you came to talk to us.

[Suspenseful music]

We're gonna pick
up sinclair again,

really lean on the
bastard this time.

You want to come?

No, I'm sorry mate, I can't.

Bit of business.

Moonlighting for Palmer?

Look Jack, whatever
may have happened,

I'm going sort it, trust me.

We found Dudley's body

at the bottom of
winfield lake, Andrew.

Now once and for
all, let's have the truth.

All the packages that
should have been on the Van

were there, apart from
the ones consigned

by gryphon mount
technical services.

But a couple of those
turned up somewhere else,

in Michael Dudley's pocket.

[Scoffs] That
stupid, greedy ponce.

Couldn't help stuffing his
pockets at the last moment.

Everything. All right?

Yeah, fine, yeah, yeah.

Any, er, joy with
your inquiries?

No, not really. No.

But, er, if there are
any developments,

do you want me to
keep you posted?

You're worth your
weight in gold, Gerry,

I knew you would be.

Forgive me, I'm
in a bit of a rush.

Yep, see ya.

Gryphon mount just sent

the odd single package
through us at first.

We knew it was something dodgy,

Mickey mouse
company, false address.

So what did you do?

We had a look inside one
of the parcels, jewellery.

Good stuff.

So what'd you do with it?

Resealed it, sent it on its way.

Then we were asked to collect

20 packages from gryphon
mount, it was a bloody fortune.

And you decided to rip them off?

The idea was, Mick would
dump the Van in a lake,

not winfield, another one,

then disappear, go abroad.

It would just look like another
security guard going awol.

Oh, I see,

then Mick would wait
till the heat was off,

dive and recover the gear.

You see it all.

So how did it all go wrong?

Marie thought we
were leaving ourselves

in Mick's hands too much.

Nothing stop him ripping us off.

She reckoned she could
always get inside a bloke's head,

when she'd taken him to bed.

She seduced him just
to keep tabs on him?

Yeah.

That's pretty cold-blooded.

Did you know about this?

Maria and I understood
each other, we were a team.

Whatever was necessary
to get a job done.

But it didn't work.

No.

Mick wanted my gun in
case it went bent on him.

He went to collect it at
our house that morning.

Marie must have realised
he was stitching us up.

Mick killed Marie, and
left me to take the can for it.

[Tense music]

[Drawer rasps]

Did you threaten Martin
viner in telephone calls?

No.

Did you kill Martin viner?

No, I don't even know
who this Martin viner is.

There's a sophisticated
security system

guarding viner's dive
club compressors.

Now, you'd have to get
past those to switch the tanks.

You were in a security business.

16 years ago.

There's been a technological
revolution since then.

Andrew, you are
still the prime suspect

as far as we're concerned.

No.

Listen,

I'll tell you the real story.

Brian, listen to this.

Steve Palmer's been
in touch with wilmslow.

Yeah, he's offering him
security services at winfield lake,

but at an unbelievable
knocked down price.

No Brian, no Brian,

what this amounts to is

that Palmer is giving
wilmslow a massive bung.

There was just one man

behind the whole
gryphon mount deal,

Steve Palmer.

Palmer?

When Marie was killed
and the Van went missing,

Palmer came down on
me like a tonne of bricks.

I said, "there's no way I
can give you your gear back,

I've been ripped off as well."

If he hadn't believed
me, I'd be dead.

He settled for taking
the company off me.

[Doorbell rings]

All right!

All right!

Hello, what can I do for you?

Why is Steve Palmer giving
you a massive backhander?

What do you mean?

We've seen the quote,

Palmer's effectively
handing your company

thousands of pounds.

Well, come on.

He got in touch
just after you did.

All he wanted was
to be kept up to date

about what was
going on at the lake.

Why?

He never told me.

But what exactly
did you tell him?

He was interested in
osprey subaqua, viner,

that girl Trisha.

Then viner was murdered.

Nothing to do with me.

You try that in court.

Oh, bloody hell.

What?

Well Trisha contacted me.

She wanted access
to the lake, today.

And you told Palmer?

[Urgent music]

[Suspenseful music]

[Water splashes]

So many lives, Trisha.

Who are you? What do you want?

What belongs to me.

What you and your friends stole.

There's nothing left.

I'm a businessman, Trisha.

Please.

If I can't have the jewellery,

I'll have the club.

A nice little going concern.

[Sandra] Palmer.

That'll do, Steve.

[Trisha screams]

Just think about it, Steve.

She's a fit young diving
instructor, and you're sad old git.

Who d'you think's going to
come out of that lake alive?

- [Trisha yells]
- [Steve groans]

Have you read this
medical questionnaire

you've got to
fill in if you want

- to train to be a diver?
- Eh?

You are to seek medical advice

if you answer yes to any
of the following questions.

Are you currently taking
any prescribed medication?

Yeah, well.

Hmm.

Have you a history of
alcohol or drug abuse

in the past five years?

Five? That's a big stringent.

Have you any history of
mental or psychological illness

of any kind, fear of small
spaces, crowds, or panic attacks?

[Book thumps]

[Brian sighs]

I've wasted all that money.

Well, it doesn't
have to be wasted.

We could always
wear the rubber suits.
