[Soft music]

How can strickland
afford to keep a boat

in a place like this?

I couldn't afford to fish in it.

When I was a kid this whole
place was a toilet. Literally.

A few yards down the road,

the biggest sewage
plant in bermondsey.

Thanks for that precise
mental image, Gerry.

Does he have to drag
us all the way out here?

I think it's very
nice of him, actually,

to take us for a bit of a sail.

It's his way of saying thank
you for all our hard work.

I'd prefer hard cash.

- Oh, oh, oh, dear be careful.
- Shut up!

Well, which one is strickland's?

G7. It must be the
mooring number.

G9, g8...

Must be this one.

- Blimey!
- Wow!

Welcome aboard the last minett!

He's having a laugh, isn't he?

I've seen bigger bathtubs.

- Mind your step.
- Thank you.

- No helipad, then?
- Thank you.

She may be small, Gerry,
but she's perfectly formed.

Cheers.

I'd like to raise a toast
to a notable year for ucos.

While your methodologies
may not always be conventional

it's difficult to argue
with the results.

- So to ucos.
- [All] To ucos.

Hello there, strickland.

Any of that going spare?

Alistair. This is
alistair Dudley.

He's president
of the yacht club.

Outgoing. Alistair
will you have a glass?

Oh, thank you.

I say! Strickers has kept
you very quiet, my dear.

Detective superintendent.
Pullman is in charge of ucos.

These are the rest of her team.

Ahh. Oh, I can see
I'm going to have to be

on my very best behaviour.

Out of interest
what do you reckon

they're asking for
that boat over there?

If it was up to me you
could have it for nothing.

You are not
thinking of buying it?

No, of course not.

I was just wondering
about the market value.

Oh, this is lovely,
Fisher isn't it?

Hello, trouble at t'mill?

Why don't you tell your
friends what you've done?

What do you want, leanne?

How you've ruined
someone's life.

Get off!

You're a liar Fisher!

- Why don't you tell everyone...
- Leanne sweeting.

Her father owns that old
tub you were asking about.

Who's she having a go at?

Lawrence Fisher,
he's a developer.

- You're a liar!
- Come on. That's enough.

You're just making
yourself look silly now.

Now who looks silly, eh?

- Get her off, Emilio!
- Get off me!

- Right, off the boat.
- Get off! I can walk myself.

- Get off!
- Excuse me.

- Get off!
- Is everything ok?

Yeah its fine.

I think ms sweeting was
about to leave anyway.

Just a gatecrasher
without an invitation.

And you don't come back.
This is private property.

Get your hands
off me, you creep!

You think you've got away
with what you did to my dad?

You're wrong.
And I can prove it.

Go on! Get her out of here!

Don't worry!

I wouldn't stay in this poxy
Marina if you begged me!

She's not happy!

Get off! Get off!

- Come here!
- Easy, easy...

That's enough, I said
that's enough! Enough!

Get out of here!

Jack?

[Sobbing]

- You all right?
- Leave me alone!

I'm not one of
that lot, you know.

Who are you?

I'm with the metropolitan police

and I'd like to know why
you would want to destroy

a perfectly good jacket.

- Ask Fisher.
- I'm asking you.

You said down there
something about

"being able to prove it".

Prove what?

How he killed five
people then looked on

while my dad took the blame.

Well, go on I'm listening.

Dad was a waterman, he
used to tow barges up the river.

Eight years ago he had a
head-on collision with a boat

owned by a guy
called Grant milburn.

Yes, I remember.

I also remember the coroner
said it was a tragic accident.

Accident?!

Lawrence Fisher sabotaged
Grant milburn's boat

'cause he wanted him dead.

And have you any evidence
to prove that statement?

Better than that, a witness.

And does this
witness have a name?

- Dean Collier.
- And who might he be?

He's the guy Fisher
hired to murder milburn.

And I told strickland
what leanne said

and I think he's
gonna go for it.

Go for what?

Reinvestigate the
case. I compiled a report.

Did you?

Why not. It's
perfectly legitimate.

Jack, get real.

There is no way that
strickland is gonna stir up

a hornet's nest at
his own yacht club.

Isn't he?

He acted very strangely
when leanne went berserk.

Like he wasn't even surprised.

What, strickers?
He's one of them!

It's all deck shoes
and flannels.

I wouldn't be surprised
if he still uses brylcreem.

When I spoke to him he
wasn't very keen on Fisher.

Who wasn't?

Strickland. I've put in a
report about the boat crash.

Morning. I've read
your report, Jack.

I think you should go ahead.

I'm sorry?

We're re-investigating
the sweeting case.

Are you absolutely
sure about this, sir?

Yeah.

Fisher's a decent enough guy

but if there's a
scintilla of doubt...

[Phone ringing]

Lawrence Fisher.
Multi-millionaire property developer.

Grant milburn. He's the man
leanne claims Fisher murdered.

He made his millions in casinos.

Oh, right I remember him.

I'm not surprised. It was
probably you that made him rich.

They were business rivals.

On the 16th of October 2001,

milburn was out on the thames
in his gin palace along with

his teenage son, Justin, and
a family friend, Patrick Nash.

His wife, Carole,
had stayed at home.

But also on board were
two east European sisters,

Anna and branka kamenov.

They were both croupiers
at one of milburn's casinos.

No wonder he left his
old woman at home!

Around about 6.30,
the fog came down

so milburn headed back up
the river towards the Marina.

Meanwhile, coming
back the other way

was leanne's father,
Neville sweeting...

Piloting his tug, the Sydney
g, 60 feet long, 80 tonnes.

The only other person
on board was Luke Wilkins,

his 15-year-old deck-hand
and they were heading

back to their boatyard.

What happened next
made all the front pages.

The Sydney g ploughed head-on
into milburn's oncoming boat.

In fact, it ploughed
right through it.

There were only two survivors,

Neville sweeting himself and
milburn's teenage son, Justin,

who incidentally
was at the wheel.

Yeah but what
happened to the others?

The postmortem says that milburn

was already dead when
he entered the water.

Massive trauma
to head consistent

with the impact of collision.

Anna kamenov's body was
found a mile down the river.

Luke Wilkins wasn't
found till a week later,

washed up in essex.

Yeah, well they're all
washed-up in essex!

What about Patrick Nash and...

Branka? Their bodies
were never recovered.

How come there weren't
any witness statements?

Because there
weren't any witnesses.

You're telling me
that two big boats

crashed into each other
in the middle of the thames

and nobody saw it?

Not in the fog, they didn't.

Where you going?

Well, I thought we could
take a look at sweeting's tug.

Go on, then.

It's been moored
here since the accident

waiting to be scrapped.

Hold on, if it was an accident,

how come Neville got the
blame? [Ominous music]

Justin claimed that the
Sydney g was travelling too fast.

According to the files,
Neville had previous, didn't he?

Several members of
the yacht club testified

that he'd tried to
ram them in the past.

They reckoned he'd got
some kind of a grudge

about yachties
"gentrifying" the river.

And what did Neville say?

He didn't, he hardly
said two words

all the time he was in custody.

Guilt?

He was never charged
with anything criminally.

- Why not?
- Because of lack of evidence.

Except that one of his

navigation lights
was on the blink.

Apparently if that
had been working

there might never
have been an accident.

That's why the coroner
ruled unlawful killing.

Neville was done for negligence

in the civil courts
by milburn's widow.

He lost the lot, boatyard,
business, everything.

[Phone beeping]

So the crash was his fault?

Apparently, until
eight years later,

when along comes Dean
Collier and he claims that Fisher

asked him to
sabotage milburn's boat.

- When was this?
- Just before the accident.

But there was never
any evidence of the boat

being tampered with, and
it was scrapped years ago.

And has this Dean
Collier bloke got any proof?

That's what I'm
hoping to find out.

He's in the office now.

So what was the point
dragging us down here?

It's evidence,
isn't it? Come on!

Photographic evidence
is all that I need.

What d'you expect?

You're ex-army.

Royal green jackets.

The ones that walk fast.

We do other stuff as well.

You were in the
Gulf, how was that?

Hot.

How did you meet
Lawrence Fisher?

When I come out the army

I got a job as a doorman
at one of the clubs.

I got to know
some of his people.

They said Fisher
wanted to see me.

What about?

He wanted me to sort
someone out. Grant milburn.

What did he ask
you to do, exactly?

Something to his boat. But
make it look like an accident.

What did you say?

I said just because
I'd been a squaddie,

didn't mean I killed
people for a living.

How come you never
reported this to the police?

Day after I turned Fisher down,

my car went straight
through a school crossing.

All I could do to avoid
killing a mum and her kid.

I found out later my
brake pads had been cut.

You think Fisher did it?

Nah, I think it was
the Christmas fairy!

Do you still have the car?

It was eight years ago.

No, I dumped it.

When you heard
about the boat accident,

what did you do then?

I didn't...

I was back abroad.

A few of my mates had
got jobs out in the Gulf again

working in private security.

I didn't know about
the crash till I got back.

So who told you?

Leanne. We met out the blue.

When I found out what
had happened to her dad

I had to say something.

Otherwise I reckoned Fisher's
getting away with murder.

But you turned him down.

So what are you're
accusing him of?

Well, isn't it obvious?

He got someone
else to do it, didn't he?

Fisher and milburn
were business rivals.

It's just a slanging match.

Collier's word against Fisher's.

Ex-squaddie with a grudge
versus mr moneybags.

Yeah.

Guv'nor, word is that Fisher
had been trying to buy into

milburn's casino
empire for years

but kept getting knocked back.

- So who owns it now?
- Fisher.

He bought a
majority shareholding

three months after milburn died.

But that's nothing,
guess who owns

Neville's boatyard
after it went bust?

- Fisher.
- No flies on him, are there?

So one way or another,

Fisher made a fortune
from that accident.

Doesn't mean he caused it.

Yeah, and the
pope's not catholic.

It's still worth
giving Fisher a call.

If nothing else, he's very
good for a decent gin and tonic.

Oh, hello, you been shopping?

You're joking,
there's a recession on.

This is everything that
remains from the first enquiry.

Everything? Is that it?

Now there was an inventory
of what everyone was wearing

on the day of the accident.

Milburn's lot were
all in casual clothes,

Polo shirts, and the like.

Patrick Nash was
wearing a blue jacket

with an open neck collar.

And Neville and his crew
hand were both in overalls.

Who said the class
system was dead?

But nobody seems
to have owned this tie.

Milburn could have kept it
on board for formal occasions.

Well his widow said
she'd never seen it before.

Maybe it was
floating in the river?

It was recovered
from the sunken boat.

All right have a
chat with Dudley

and see if it's got any
nautical significance.

Why don't I go and
see leanne's father,

- see what he has to say?
- Ok.

I'm going out for a cigarette.

No, you are not.

All right, thanks
very much. Cheers.

[Truck beeping]

Detective superintendent
Pullman. This is Gerry standing.

We met the other
day at the Marina.

Tug driver's daughter.

Sorry about your
friend's jacket.

I think he'll get over it.

Thanks for sparing us your time.

Thank you for dragging me
away from bloody architects.

So, Grant milburn.

I didn't think you were
looking to buy off-plan.

We are re-investigating
the circumstances

surrounding Grant
milburn's death, yes.

A long way of saying you think
ms sweeting has something.

Well, you and
milburn were rivals.

No secret in that.

We spoke to someone who claims

that you wanted to
"sort milburn out".

A turn of phrase I
don't recall using

since I was about ten.

This would be Dean
Collier, I presume?

You know Collier?

I think that's stretching
the meaning of the word.

Then why did Collier say

that you tried to hire
him to kill milburn?

Because I wouldn't pay him off

when he tried to blackmail me.

Blackmail? You never
reported that to the police.

I had been told that
Collier had been invalided

out of the army,
post-traumatic stress.

I'm not in the business
of trying to ruin someone

who's already ruined,
especially fighting for his country.

When milburn died you
took control of his casino.

When sweeting was ruined
you bought his boatyard.

Look I could have
paid a lot less

for that boatyard but I didn't.

I gave him the market price.
Only leanne thinks otherwise.

Mr Fisher.

I'm sorry, I have to go.
Give Bob my regards.

- Bob?
- I preferred strickers.

[Ominous music]

Dad! He'll be down here.

Dad? Dad.

This is the man I told
you about from the police.

Jack halford, unsolved
crimes and open case squad.

Mr halford's
trying to help, dad.

He wants to talk to you
about what happened.

Mr sweeting, for me to help
you, you're going to have

to talk to me at some point.

You're eight years too late.

Better late than never.

My daughter's led you
here on a fool's errand.

- Dad!
- Who's the fool?

Five people died.

One of them a boy that
was like a son to me.

And nothing leanne, or
you, or any other bugger

can do is going to
bring that boy back.

So do me a favour and go home!

She was a pretty thing once.

- All it needs is some...
- Tlc?

Spot on. You'd
make a lovely couple.

I don't think me
wife would approve.

Well, you could always
make it a solo venture.

Man and boat pitted
against the elements.

Sir Francis chichester!
Gypsy moth iv.

Absolutely!

Well if you decide you want
her you know where to find me.

You know that motor yacht
over by the lock gates there?

That's similar to Grant
milburn's boat, isn't it?

Well, it's a more recent model,

but essentially,
yes, more or less.

Only we're reopening the
investigation into the accident

and there's not much
left of the original.

Any chance of a quick peek?

Yeah, why not?

[Soft music]

I'll take you up here.

Wow! May I?

Yes, please.

Mind you don't start her up.

One nudge of those throttles

and you'll be
half way to calais.

Fantastic!

And milburn's ended up
just matchwood? Terrible.

That must have been very
upsetting for people at the club.

I didn't know him all that
well but he was pretty popular

with a lot of the members.

And is it right some
of them claimed

sweeting had intimidated them?

Oh, yes. Man was a menace.

He'd steer straight at
you to prove a point.

What point?

Well, because he and
his family had worked

the river for generations
he thought that he owned it.

God forbid any pleasure craft

should get in the
way of his working tug.

Oh, I know what I
wanted to ask you.

Do you know what this is?

Yes, it's a tie?

Yeah, but what kind of tie?

- Silk?
- No, no.

Look the crest, the motto.

Does that mean anything?

Anything nautical?

Does it?

[Soft music]

- Thanks for your time.
- Not at all, not at all.

- [Cart engine roaring]
- [Tyres screeching]

Do you know where I
can find Justin milburn?

I take it you're not here
for the race meeting?

Well, they are a
jolly little bunch.

The idea is if
the local joyriders

are getting their thrills here

they're not killing
anyone out there.

Very commendable.

Well, I hope a social
conscience means that

you won't mind helping me.

Do what?

Re-examine what
happened to your father

and the others who died.

I'll take that as a yes.

Tell me, before the accident,

was there anyone who might
have threatened your father?

[Justin chuckling]

What's so funny?

You could threaten my
dad, but you'd regret it.

Why? Was he violent?

He could handle himself,
but he didn't need to.

I mean look, I've said
all this, eight years ago.

Was there anyone who might
have held a grudge against him?

Enough say to want
to sabotage his boat?

I was steering it,

I'd have noticed if there
was something wrong.

You say you were
travelling slowly

when you came up the river,
so how come there wasn't time

to steer out of the way
when you saw the tug?

It was thick fog.

The tug came out of
nowhere straight at us.

I was seventeen.

Maybe, uh, maybe someone
with more experience

- could have avoided it.
- [Ominous music]

God knows I wished it
hadn't been me at the wheel.

Can you tell me what
exactly you did do?

Panic.

I started shouting at the
tug, everyone on board,

but it was too late.

Next thing I know
I'm in the water

grabbing hold of
a life vest and...

The two east European
girls, Anna and branka?

Whose idea was it to bring
them along, your father's?

- It wasn't like that.
- Like what?

They were just,
friends from dad's work.

They were nice.

I understand that
after the accident,

you stopped living at home, why?

I couldn't look my
mother in the eye.

You think she blamed
you for the accident?

She never said it, but...

I don't see much
of her these days.

- Where you've been?
- Down the library!

Cor, you know how
to live, don't you?

Remember that tie? The
one with the motto on the crest.

"Concordia salus
et veritate", it's Latin.

No shit, Sherlock.
What does it mean?

Well, according to the
English-Latin dictionary,

something like "salvation
through Harmony".

Sounds like an advert
for shampoo, or the Nazis.

Or a choir, even.

- Yeah, I thought choir.
- So whose motto is it?

I've absolutely no idea.

[Doorbell ringing]

Well, that kills two
birds with one stone.

Who is it, Dean?

Careful, you'll
catch your death.

So, love's young dream, eh?

And when exactly were
you going to mention

that you were an item,

or do you both suffer from
selective memory loss?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you
carefully forgot to say

that you left the
army with PTSD.

That doesn't change anything.

I'd guess you weren't
the brains of the outfit.

We didn't plan this.

We got to know each
other. It just happened.

Right.

Okay so how much did you
pay him for what he told us?

How can you say that?

Years of experience.

Or did you make it all up
in order to get her into bed?

I think you better leave.

Lawrence Fisher says
you tried to blackmail him.

- He's a liar.
- He'd say anything.

And your dad said you were
taking me on a fool's errand.

Old geezer feels sorry for you,

so you lead him up the
garden path is that it?

No! I swear.

Everything I said is true.

I doubt if you'd even know
the meaning of the word!

But just in case I'm wrong,

I suggest that you and
Romeo here find some proof.

Because if you don't,
this case is dead.

[Soft music]

Carole milburn?

Yeah?

Anywhere nice? Your bag.

Oh! Just the gym.

I do a pilates class
at the leisure centre.

How long is it since
you moved out here?

Straight after the accident.

Me and Grant lived in
that house nearly 15 years.

It didn't feel
right, without him.

Justin said that you don't see

much of each other any more.

Not because of me.

I've tried to keep in contact
but he wouldn't have it.

He thinks I blame
him for what happened.

I've told him I never have,

but nothing I say
makes any difference.

They did everything
together, him and Grant.

He's never got over it.

Did your husband ever mention

someone called Lawrence Fisher?

Grant never talked
business, not with me.

He was a bit old-fashioned.
Women and work, you know?

Were you ever aware of
anyone threatening your husband?

Neville sweeting drove
his tug straight through him.

I think that's pretty
threatening, don't you?

What can you tell us about

the two croupier girls
who were on board?

Well that was more
for Justin's benefit.

He had a thing for one of them.

You didn't approve?

Grant thought it was...

Probably thought it'd
make a man of him.

All those raging
hormones, you know.

Patrick Nash. Was he
a close family friend?

Well, yeah, sort of. We
were at school together.

Grant and him were like that.

I never got a
look-in, to be honest.

Excuse me, may I
use your loo, please?

- Just by the front door.
- Thank you.

I was gonna ask if I could
borrow a photo of your husband,

but I can't see any.

I couldn't bear to have
them in the house. I still can't.

Some people think I
should be over it by now.

But I just can't.

[Soft music]

She lives on her own.

Some of the room's are
bound to be half-empty.

But both bedrooms were the same.

Plus, if milburn was so rich,

how come his widow lives in
a pokey little place like that?

Maybe she invested it all?

Yeah, not in soft furnishings.

I'm telling you, it
felt more like a place

that was for sale or rent

rather than where
someone actually lives.

Any joy?

Whose idea was it
to put motto's in Latin?

I mean, what's the point of
using a dead bloody language?

I've looked up the definition
of this thing and all I get is

"salvation through Harmony".

I mean its ridiculous.
It's nonsense.

Well concordia doesn't
simply mean Harmony.

It's like some Latin nouns can
have several variant meanings

dependent upon its context.

Like, union or working together.

Oh, yes. "Salvation
through union",

the anglicised version
of the Latin motto

"concordia salus et veritate"

commemorating the
twinning of schlo...

- Schlodenburg.
- Schlodenburg and elmfield.

April 1994.

[Ominous music]

How did you get in here?

I shifted a couple of mops.

How long you gonna
keep up this vow of silence?

You're not the first person
to lose someone you love.

But at least you
ought to recognise

someone who still loves you.

Blimey, I thought I was good
at feeling sorry for myself,

but you're the gold medallist.

Leanne says you blame yourself,

that's why you
don't want to talk.

But I am beginning to
think you don't want to talk

because you know it was your
fault and that they were right.

You drove into milburn's
boat deliberately.

He was going too fast.

Justin milburn swears
he was going slowly.

He's a liar.

All right, the light on my tug

may not have been
working too well,

they might have seen me
a bit earlier but the truth is,

he drove into me.

That was taken about
just before the crash.

- This is Luke?
- Yeah. He was fifteen.

He'd have been 24 next month.

He loved his tugs but the
Sydney g was his favourite.

When she was pulling a
heavy load she used to lie,

really lie in the
water and he used

to love being up
the front on the bow.

And his mum was
always worrying about him,

but I used to tell her that

I'd make sure no
harm ever came to him.

Now I can't even bring
myself to go and visit his grave.

So milburn's boat drove into
you, not the other way round?

He was going like a madman

but I couldn't prove
anything, could I?

Neville sweeting finally
decided to talk. Sandra!

So after I spoke to him,

I went to the maritime
and coastguard agency.

Now this is the latest
state-of-the-art software

which they use to
reconstruct shipping accidents.

So I got them to
programme ours in.

Now Justin says
that Neville's tug

was coming at him at full speed,

with the tide that would
be about 20 knots.

If that's true, this is what
would have happened.

[Beeping]

Cool! Can I play
with that later?

Now these are the scene-of-crime
photos of milburn's boat.

They don't match the simulation.

Right, so we ran
the crash again,

only this time according
to what Neville told me.

Now he said that his
tug was crawling along

and it was milburn's boat
that came out of the fog

like a mad thing.

[Beeping]

Almost identical. Justin
lied about his speed.

Hardly surprising, seeing
as he killed five people.

Yeah but the light was
broken on Neville's boat.

So Justin's still
only partly culpable.

And he's the first
to blame himself

for not steering out the way.

His mother said he had a crush

on one of the girls on board.

He's only human.

Dig out what you can about
them. Anna and branka.

I could take a trip
down to the casino

where they used to work?

See if any of the
punters remember them.

Very self-sacrificing
of you Gerry.

And how are you
going to fund that trip?

Well it's police business.

Presumably any out of pocket
expenses will be covered

by the appropriate funds?

Ok, but Jack goes with you,
and the money goes with Jack.

[Chattering]

Right, I think we
should split up.

Give us half the float.

Oh, Gerry that's more
than my life's worth.

Whisky? Cheers!

Jack, you're giving
too much away.

You're supposed to
bluff 'em into thinking

you've got a good hand.

Do the words "grandmother"
and "suck eggs"

mean anything to you?

- German porn?
- [Man] How many, sir?

I'll play these, thanks.

I think I'm gonna
have a sniff around.

Yeah, well, don't get lost.

Just don't lose the
whole float in one hand.

Evening.

I've heard about women like you.

And there are laws
about men like you.

No, I mean the casino employs

gorgeous women to get
high rollers to the table.

High roller?

Well, no, I'm more
a smiler, actually.

You're right. I do
want your money.

Devil woman.

Because I'm the duty manager.

Ah, excellent! Then you
may be able to help me.

Anna and branka kamenov.

They worked here as
croupiers eight years ago.

Before my time. Things run
a little differently here now.

- Meaning?
- And why should I tell you?

Ah, yeah, I'm sorry,
Gerry standing the met.

Unsolved crime and
open case squad.

Now these two girls
died in a boating accident

along with the bloke who
used to own this place.

- Grant milburn.
- That's right.

And you say he ran
things differently?

He recruited a lot of his
croupiers from overseas.

From outside the ec.

- Because?
- Because they were cheaper.

Any other reasons?

When I first arrived,
one of the former regulars

asked if our croupiers
still did private work.

And private meaning?

Meaning, I suspect that
some of the previous girls

did more than spread
betting for their clients.

Guess what I just heard
about the transylvania two?

Hang on a minute,
Gerry, I'm on a roll here.

Full house, 2's on Jacks.

- [Man] Full house wins.
- Thank you.

Now, what were your
hot tips for success?

[Keyboard clicking]

God, there's hundreds of them.

Bloody hell! Cuddly Dudley.

[Doorbell ringing]

All right. Keep your wig on!

- Morning.
- It's seven am!

He said it was urgent.

I've got something to show
you and it couldn't wait.

Is that coffee?

I might have known grumpy
wouldn't be far behind.

Alistair Dudley was a
councillor before he retired

there he is wearing the exact
same tie that was recovered

from the accident.

Well, you don't know it's
the same tie, just one like it.

Sandra he said he
didn't recognise it. He lied.

Possibly.

All right, go to the
council offices in elmfield,

see if any of those people
might have known milburn.

In the meantime, Gerry,
you and I are going to go back

to talk to Carole.

What about?

I was on their old
school website.

Patrick Nash and
milburn were best mates.

However, it turns out

that before milburn
and Carole got together,

Carole and Patrick Nash were
the school's Romeo and Juliet.

Oh, shagging?

I think the preferred term
is childhood sweethearts?

Eh, shagging.

If Anna and branka
were on the game

I reckon Carole knew about it.

That's why she didn't want
Justin mixing with them.

Maybe that's why Justin

still keeps his mum
at arm's length?

Me and Patrick! Well that
was when we were at school.

That was ancient
history long before

I got together with Grant.

I didn't mention it because

I honestly didn't
think it relevant.

Didn't it cause any awkwardness

between your
husband and Patrick?

Don't be silly.

Mind you, a bit of jealousy
might have made him

more appreciative.

Is that all you wanted
to ask me about?

No, not quite.

When we couldn't find you here,

we tried at the leisure centre

and they said they hadn't
seen you for six weeks.

If I told you that I belong

to five different
keep-fit classes,

would that explain it?

And honestly, that
is not my favourite.

The changing
rooms are a little bit...

Oh, by the way, I dug
out some pictures of Grant.

Thanks.

Justin's 14th birthday.

- [Phone ringing]
- Oh, excuse me.

Hello?

There was something
else I wanted to ask you?

Oh yeah, were you
aware that the croupiers

at your husband's casino
often worked as prostitutes?

That is ridiculous.

Grant would never have
tolerated that for a start.

How would you know?

You said he didn't involve
you in business matters.

I think I'd have known

if my husband was
running a brothel.

So that wasn't the reason

why you and Justin
stopped speaking?

I told you I haven't
stopped speaking to him.

Have you ever lost anyone

in a terrible accident,
superintendent?

No.

Then you'll have very
little idea of what it's like

for those who are left behind.

Guv'nor, Brian wants us
to meet him at the Marina.

It's about Dudley.

Is that alistair Dudley?

Thanks for your time.

[Soft music]

D'you bike it all the
way from elmfield?!

Never again.

Ok, what have you got?

I couldn't find anyone
who was at that German do,

who might know
milburn except Dudley.

But get this cuddly wasn't
just any old councillor.

He was chairman of the planning
sub-committee, the same year

that Grant milburn
applied for permission

to build a new casino.

So Dudley must
have known milburn

a lot better than
he's letting on.

I'm not finished.

According to back copies
of the elmfield recorder,

Dudley took early
retirement from the council

a couple of years ago,

after he was caught inside
a Thai massage parlour.

It was a very vigorous massage.

Bangkok?

Brent cross.

[Soft music]

Mr Dudley?

Three of you, eh?

Well, I can't offer cocktails
but it's very nice to see you.

That is you, isn't it?

Wearing a tie like this one,

which was recovered
from the accident.

What I'm asking
is, is this your tie?

Um, absolutely not!
Hundreds of people had that tie.

Any one of them could
have been on board.

So where's yours?

Oh, I chucked the
ghastly thing out years ago.

Oh, ok.

Only this one,

which was recovered from
the scene of the accident,

is now at our forensics lab.

What's amazing is how,

because of the massive
advances in forensics,

through a thing
called sweat tracing,

they can now locate
the DNA of the owner

of any article of clothing.

Even after them
just having touched it.

Even after eight years.

Now you were arrested two
years ago at a massage parlour.

That was a complete
misunderstanding.

Of course it was.

The thing is, as it's now
routine to take a DNA swab

after every arrest,

we won't need to take
yours again to see if it

matches the DNA
on the tie or not.

So, I'm giving you
one last chance.

Were you there, on the boat
at the accident, yes or no?

I don't wish to
say anything else

without a solicitor present.

Of course. As is your right.

In which case shall we go
somewhere a little less public?

Um, would you excuse me?

Sweat tracing?

- When did that happen?
- It didn't. I made it up.

You lied?

Everyone else is.

I thought it was just
a friendly boat ride.

Milburn said he wanted
to show me his plans

for the development
from the river.

Well, it turned out he'd applied

for planning consent
for a super casino.

I didn't know he was,

going to set me up
with one of those girls.

Which girls?

Well, the croupiers.
The sisters.

Yeah, what happened?

Well, I thought we
were on our way back

to the Marina when suddenly

they walked in on me below deck

and started taking
their clothes off.

And you had no idea
this was gonna happen?

Absolutely not!

So you didn't indulge?

Look i'm, I'm not saying,

I'm not saying they
weren't attractive.

But I also realised it was
one of milburn's ploys.

- You mean like a bribe?
- I mean like blackmail.

I discovered a camera
hidden in the cabin.

One of those digital
camcorder things.

It was filming everything.

What did you do
when you found it?

Well, I didn't get much
chance to do anything.

The door burst open
and Justin was there.

Cor, he threw a fit.

I didn't know he was
sweet on one of the girls?

What did he do?

Screamed, shouted,
then stormed out.

I told the girls to get
dressed but next thing I know

there's an almighty crash
and we're in the river.

You know you can't
imagine how terrifying that is.

Not knowing which way
is up, freezing cold water.

Next thing I know i'm
bobbing along on the surface

hundreds of yards downstream.

Go on, you swam
away and pretended

you'd never been on the boat?

I was in shock.

By the time I got
out of the water

I realised no-one had seen me,

so there was no
reason to believe

anyone would
know I was on board.

Why cover it up?

Well, there had been
other incidents in the past.

- Incidents?
- With girls.

If it had come out you see

that I had been
involved it, um...

I panicked.

Justin never mentioned
you being on board. Why not?

Well, I went to him afterwards.

He didn't take much
convincing to say nothing.

The last thing he
wanted coming out

was that his father was
running a prostitute scam.

Especially with this Anna?

So he knew Anna
was a prostitute?

He did by then.

And you never
saw the other boat?

No. But I felt it, all right.

How long between Justin
leaving the cabin and the crash?

Ooh, a minute or two?

It must have been
a bit of a blow,

finding out your own father

was pimping out
the girl you fancied?

Even harder to take knowing

that she was happy
to go along with it.

She didn't just
"go along with it".

I told you, it's not true.

I see.

So Anna and her
sister being filmed naked

in a cabin with alistair
Dudley, what was that then,

an advert for health &
efficiency magazine?

Your father knew you were
sweet on Anna didn't he,

and yet he got her and branka

to play naughty with a
dirty old letch like Dudley

knowing you were on board?

I mean, what's that about?

Dudley said you
stormed up to the deck.

You must have been furious.

Did you confront your dad?

Justin, did you confront
your dad about Anna?

What was it? Was it a fight?

The start of one?

[Sandra] You fought
with your father.

No. It was him and Patrick.

They were having
a go at each other.

Patrick Nash was
fighting your father?

Why? What about?

It's my mother.

Dad was screaming
at him, Patrick.

About him and my
mum having an affair.

Next thing I knew, Patrick
smashed my dad into the wheel

hit his head against it.

The boat swung one
way, then the other.

My dad fell against the
throttle and the boat just,

lurched forward.

So you were never at the wheel?

And now the boat
was out of control?

- And then um...
- You hit the tug.

I didn't even see it.

[Ominous music]

I went overboard, trying to
find the others. To find Anna.

But she was gone.

All of them had just gone.

You're saying Patrick
Nash killed your father?

I don't know if he killed him,

but I saw my dad's
head hit the wheel.

Rather convenient, blaming
your father and Patrick.

Seeing as how they're both dead.

I'm telling you the truth.

- Eight years too late.
- Why have you been lying?

My mother.

She asked me to, she
begged me, not to say anything.

Because?

Why do you think?

My dad, was a pimp.

She said it wasn't my
fault, I was only seventeen.

She said what happened wasn't...

Shouldn't be
allowed to ruin my life.

So what, you ruin Neville
sweeting's instead?

Your mother got you to lie

'cause she was about
to receive a large pay-out

in compensation, plus a huge
sum of money from the sale

of her dead husband's business.

Between you, you
destroyed sweeting's name

and made him bankrupt.

What's gonna happen next?

Well, you lied at a coroner's
inquest. That's perjury.

As for your mother...

Let's just say I am gonna be
having a few words with her.

Does your mother know
Dudley was on board?

[Doorbell ringing]

- Not in, is she?
- Never is.

- Can I help you?
- No, thank you.

- She's not there.
- We know that.

Hardly ever is. She's gone away.

Won't be back for a while.

- Away?
- About an hour ago.

She had cases with her.
She's always going away.

Nice for some, eh?

Did your mother give you
any money from the pay-out?

A little. To set-up
the kart track.

And how much is a little?

Fifty thousand.

She wanted me to have
more but I wouldn't take it.

Very noble. So what
did she do with the rest?

She bought houses.
She likes houses.

They're abroad, most of them.

Whereabouts?

Northern Cyprus.

Apart from the one in stanmore,

and the other one in Kent.

Where in Kent?

Uh, I'm not sure. She got
it just after the accident.

Carole milburn heard us say
we were going to see Dudley.

She must have realised
we were getting close,

that she and Justin had lied.

I've notified all
ports, airports.

Well don't you think
you're a little late?

No. I believe there's still
a chance we can get her.

We think she'll make
one last call en route.

And Fisher?

Land registry have Carole
milburn owning a house

called the gables in
blean, near canterbury.

It's very nice, apparently.

Rented to a David
livingstone. Sorry, sir.

I'll call Kent police,
get you some back up.

[Ominous music]

[Police sirens wailing]

Hello Carole. Going
anywhere nice?

Patrick! You look pretty
good for a drowned man.

I'm not the first bloke
to have had an affair.

You might be the first dead one.

Eight years living under an
assumed name is quite a trick.

But I tell you what,

why don't we go back
to the night of the sinking.

Tell me why you
killed Grant milburn.

I didn't kill him!

Justin own record said that
he saw you hit Grant's head

on the wheel of the boat.

- It was self defence.
- I don't think so.

Yes! He found out
about Carole and me.

That's why he attacked
me. He went bananas.

So why, after the boat sank,
didn't you come forward?

Because you knew Justin had
seen what happened, that's why.

So you fake drowning,

you change your
identity and go into hiding.

I'd so like to meet the jury

who returns an innocent
verdict on that one.

Look! We both could have
gone abroad, we both could.

But we didn't! We stayed.

Yeah. You stayed
until you got found out.

Four people drowned.

Wasn't my fault!

Nothing I could have done
would have bought them back.

No. Neville sweeting
feels exactly the same way.

You knew that Neville
hadn't caused the accident.

Did I? His navigation
lights were faulty.

The coroner's verdict
was unlawful killing.

The coroner didn't
know that Justin had lied.

That Dudley was on board.

And that Patrick
Nash had survived.

And he certainly didn't know

that you were having
an affair with him.

And how do we know

that you and Patrick
didn't plan it all?

Accident on a boat?

Justin was on board.

Do you really think i'd
risk my own son's life...

Even for Patrick?

Carole, four people drowned.

All you were worried about
was your lover and your money.

You are so wrong.

Patrick pushed and
pushed me to move abroad.

But I had to put
things right with Justin.

I couldn't just take off
and, leave him here in bits.

Hope he appreciates it.

Where is he? Where is Justin?

I've got to talk to him.

Don't worry.

I'm sure he'll be up for
a bit of prison-visiting.

You still don't mention Fisher.

No.

You honestly don't think

he had anything to
do with the crash?

I can't see how.

There's nothing whatsoever
to link him with Patrick Nash.

I meant Dean
Collier's crash. His car.

Collier has post-traumatic
stress disorder.

He and leanne do
seem genuinely in love

so maybe he simply
believes it happened,

because he wants it
to be true for her sake.

So we have Dudley,
Justin milburn

and Carole milburn ready
to be charged with perjury,

perverting the course
of justice and fraud.

And Patrick Nash facing
a charge of manslaughter?

Yeah.

Well, normally we just get
through one or two in a case,

so four is quite an achievement.

Still pity about Fisher.

[Upbeat music]

So you've finally
decided to scrap her?

Taking her to the workshop.

What, you're gonna do it up?

Yeah leanne talked me
into it. I must be an idiot.

She can be very
persuasive, your daughter.

Thank you for believing
us when nobody else did.

Oh, all hands on deck,
here comes captain bligh.

- Morning.
- Sir.

I came to tell you

that the commissioner
is very impressed.

He asked me to pass
on his congratulations.

New blazer, sir?

Yes. Yes, d'you like it?

They Chuck one of
those at every president

of the yacht club.

You're the new president?

Yes. Yes, didn't I tell you?

There was some talk about
Lawrence Fisher taking the helm,

but it was felt he was
a little too close to,

recent events.

Have to dash, club
committee meeting.

Time and tide wait for no
man. Not even the president!
