Hello?

No, no, no that's fine.

Sorry. Hang on.

Sorry about that -
I couldn't hear you.

What, now?!

No, no, no, no. It's no problem.

I could be with you
in an hour or so.

Half an hour.

No, it's fine I'll see you then.

Yep. Bye.

Shit!

Say hello to Harry eldridge
- or what's left of him.

He was found near
guildford a couple of days ago,

cut up and buried
not far from the a3.

The dry, Sandy nature of the soil
has left him pretty well preserved,

wrapped in what look like

his clothes and old newspapers.

Positive ID, is it?

Well, they found a wallet among
the clothing with a credit card.

Dental records
should confirm it.

Eldridge was a
well-to-do butcher

in Smithfield market.

When was this?

Those newspapers are dated

December 19th, 1976,
the day eldridge vanished.

The most likely cause of death is this - a
stab wound going up into the small of the back,

made with a long-bladed knife.

The body was cut
up quite skilfully,

so... doctor,
surgeon... butcher?

Quite. The day eldridge vanished, Simon
Lockhart, a doctor at Bart's hospital,

was murdered in the back of
eldridge's store in Smithfield.

Eldridge was the prime suspect.

This may or may
not rule him out.

Either way it's not eldridge's
killing we're reinvestigating.

It's doctor Lockhart's. But Smithfield's in
the city of London. Why isn't it their bag?

Ordinarily it would be, but they're pretty
stretched at the moment. Poor things(!)

They'd appreciate
our level of expertise.

The city commissioner
himself has asked for our help,

not least because of ucos's reputation.
It's quite a feather in your cap.

And so he expressly asked for our help,
not least because of ucos's reputation.

Expressly asked for our help,
my arse! Who's he kidding?

The city of London would appreciate
our level of expertise, Gerry.

The city of London
commissioner is Ian Hayes.

Strickland went to bramshill with
him. He was best man at his wedding.

You scratch my back...

I'll stick a feather in your...

Cap.

Right. Doctor
Simon Lockhart, 35.

Senior houseman in the a&e
department in st Bart's hospital.

Early Monday morning, December 21st 1976, he was
found hanging from a meat hook in Harry eldridge's

cold store in Smithfield
market by a Vernon murnaghan.

Come again? Vernon murnaghan.

He was eldridge's meat cutter
and he had keys to the stall.

Lockhart's skull had been split open with a
meat cleaver. Not just a friendly tiff, then.

He was last seen two days earlier
in the bull pub along with eldridge,

murnaghan and a fellow butcher
and stallholder, David snow.

Is that the bull
near the market?

Yeah, the four of them had
spent the morning gambling.

The meat men didn't know Lockhart
but they were happy to take his money.

Murnaghan and
snow left around two,

but eldridge and Lockhart
were still there at two-thirty,

because they were overheard
arguing by an off-duty plod.

So when Lockhart turned up dead

the police named eldridge as the prime
suspect only to find he'd disappeared.

No-one in the market had
seen him since the Saturday.

He never came home and his wife,
Julia, reported him missing Sunday.

Well, that's the market for you.

Like getting blood out of a stone.
Whole case is a waste of time.

Eldridge didn't do
a runner, did he?

He was found murdered. So he probably didn't
kill Lockhart. Someone else killed them both.

And you think we're going to
find out who it is 33 years later?

Sorry, am I missing
something, or isn't that our job?

Anyway, eldridge wasn't just
your ordinary butcher. He supplied

some of the smartest restaurants in London. When
he married Julia it was like a society wedding.

So you can just imagine
what the press made of it

when Lockhart turned up in the
back of his stall like a side of beef.

Ok? Let's get down there. Why?

Talk to the family.

His son Tom now runs
the business. Pointless.

What are you on about?

Smithfield market
works through the night.

By nine o'clock in the morning
it's more or less dead. Oh.

Ok, we'll go first
thing tomorrow, then.

Fine. All I'm
saying is good luck!

I mean it's not even our manor.

City of London know it's hopeless,
so that's why they fobbed it off on us.

But we've got more to go on now than
the original investigation, haven't we?

We've got another dead man,
blood, clothing, DNA, an iou

found in eldridge's pocket linking
the four of them gambling. Mind you,

I don't get what it is they
were playing. What's... "Spoof"?

Spoof?! I haven't played
that for years. Oh, blimey!

A card game?

No, no it's not cards. No.

Look, you each take
three coins, right? Any coin.

And you put then
behind your back.

Then you put either one, two
or three or none in one hand

and then you hold your
hand out in front of you.

And then you each take a
turn to guess what the total is.

But you can't use any number that's
already been called. Right? So four.

Five. Three.

Five.

Seven.

Six.

Eight.

Me! I've won! Thank you.

It's unbelievable!

Mallorca 1972. Eh?

When me dad
taught me how to play.

Mum was furious.

Wow! It's busy, isn't it?

You lot go on. I'm
going to get a coffee.

Coffee can wait. Come
on. I'm not going in there.

Gerry, you love food, cooking
- this should be nirvana.

Is it the meat, Gerry?

Yes, it's a phobia.

You've got a phobia about
raw meat? Like Hitler?

I haven't got a bloody phobia!

You just don't need
all of us in there.

It's a scene of crime! In!

You know, I've never been
here before. It's fantastic, isn't it?

A pantheon to the gods of Gore.

Vegetarians need not apply.

There y'are. They're not here.
Come on. Can I help you, love?

Yeah, we're looking
for Tom eldridge.

Nah. Home with his mum.

Can I say who called?

You're a bit lost,
aren't you, darling?

Met's over that way.

What'd I tell you?
Come on, let's go.

Gerry? Gerry!

Gerry! Someone's calling you.

Gerry! You old
bugger! How are you?

Yeah, all right. Yeah. Well, well now.
Your taste's improved. Who's this, then?

Detective superintendent
Pullman - my guv'nor.

Care to introduce us, Gerry?

Sorry. Sid.

Cousin. How are you,
love? All right? Here, Barry!

Barry, come and
have a look who's here!

Bloody hell! Mate!

Another cousin.

This has always been
a real family business.

Now, let me tell you who's who.

That's Harry, Gerry's
second cousin.

That's garry, Harry's brother.

That's Mary over
there - that's his missus.

That's Larry, their boy.
And that there's Terry.

That's Barry's son. Yeah, that's
Gerry's cousin first removed.

Gerry, you never mentioned
you had family here.

What, you didn't know his
old man was in the meat trade?

- No. No, I didn't.
- Oh, he's hopeless. He was always hopeless.

Broke his old man's heart.
Have to have a heart to break one.

That's why you got out, didn't you? Went off and
joined the old bill. Him and his old man didn't get on.

Let me get this right. Your
dad was Gerry's dad's brother.

Excuse me.

Lestade & family?

Yeah, it's a huguenot name. They come
over from France to stop getting massacred.

Unlike Gerry here - he used to
get massacred every Saturday night!

Mention lestade in the meat trade, everyone knows
what you're talking about. It's a name to be proud of.

Except for him, of course.

Silly bugger thought it made him
sound like an iron hoof. No, I didn't!

You changed your name! So
your real name is gerarde lestade?

Ah, Oui! Can we stop all this?

So deep down you're not
cockney at all? You're French.

I'm not bleeding French! That's what
his old man used to say to wind him up!

So, cuz, what are
you doing here?

We're looking into the murder
of a doctor Simon Lockhart.

It happened here some thirty-odd
years ago. Who? Simon Lockhart.

He was a doctor at Bart's.

He was found in Harry
eldridge's cold store.

Everyone thought Harry eldridge
had killed him and then done a runner.

Only now Harry's
turned up. Also dead.

Lockhart?

Rings a bell. But it was
a long time ago, mind.

Told you.

We're looking for David snow. Does
he still have a stall here in the market?

Snowy? No, not for years! He runs a
pub now - the bull, just down the road.

- The bull? - Yeah.
- Right. Cheers. Thanks very much.

Thank you. You
take care, gezzer.

Don't you be a stranger.

Come here.

Come on, gezzer. Very
affectionate, aren't they?

There's a whole other side to
your family you've never mentioned.

Yeah, sid, Barry, Harry,
garry, Larry, Mary, Terry...

And Gerry. Gezzer...

Very funny. They're all
right that lot, it's... it's my dad.

As far as I was concerned
he was a complete...

Huguenot? Right lads.
What can I get you?

We're looking for a
David snow. Are you?!

And what you going to do to him
when you find him? Just get him will you.

Oh, well I'm Dave snow.
What's the problem?

We're looking into the death of
doctor Simon Lockhart in 1976.

Oh, yeah. I've just been reading
about Harry eldridge being dug up.

Horrible. You were with him
the day he died, weren't you?

Yeah, that's right.
Playing spoof.

Me, him and mouthful. Mouthful?

Vernon murnaghan.

Well, it is, isn't
it, a mouthful?

Anyway, we took quite a lot off 'em both
so we decided to quit while we were ahead.

Back in '76 you said you'd
never met Lockhart before.

Yeah. He saw we were playing spoof and
came over and asked if he could join in.

And this is the same pub you
were in that day? Oh, yeah.

There's only one
bull in Smithfield.

Get it?! Now
you're the landlord?

No, I own it.

Lock, stock and
non-smoking barrels.

Get it?! So how long have you been
out of the meat trade? Oh, ages now.

I got a good few years out of it
and then the eu put their oar in.

They've ruined everything, the pillocks.
They're all on the I diddle diddle.

They regulated it to death,
they have. Don't get me started.

And you never saw eldridge
or Lockhart again after you left?

No. Me and mouthful
left them to it.

I went back to the market,
shut up shop and went home.

Brian.

An iou was found on Harry's
body. Could it have been Lockhart's?

Five hundred quid?

We'd have to have played for
a whole year to rattle up that lot.

This looks like one that
Danny paye used to dish out.

Who's Danny paye? Danny
paye. That's a blast from the past.

Illegal bookie, loan
shark, gangster.

Nah. Danny paye was a nothing.

He had his moments.
Most of them in '75/'76.

And this Vernon bloke.

Murnaghan. Where
can we find him?

Oh, he landed on his feet all right.
He's got a place up at ally pally.

I think you'll find him in the
phone book... under 'loaded'.

Right, 'scuse me for
a minute, will you?

Ok. You two go and see if there's
any mileage in this Vernon... Mouthful.

Where you going? Jack and I'll
go see eldridge's widow and son.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Thomas eldridge? Look, my mother and I have made it
absolutely clear we are not speaking to the press.

We're not from the
papers, mr eldridge.

Detective superintendent
Pullman, this is Jack halford.

We've already
talked to the police.

That was surrey. We're from the met
unsolved crime and open case squad.

We're re-examining the death
of a doctor Simon Lockhart.

Let them in, Tom.

Let them in.

I never could believe that
Harry killed doctor Lockhart

any more than I could believe
that he simply disappeared.

Did your husband ever mention knowing
Lockhart? As I said at the time, no.

Did he have any
enemies? Possibly.

When he disappeared I
found out that the business

wasn't in nearly as healthy a
state as I had been led to believe.

But nothing that
could get him...

Is it possible he'd
borrowed money? No.

Not without me
knowing. He didn't.

My mother struggled for years
to keep the business going.

Where we are now
is solely down to her.

It was amazing what she
did, especially in Smithfield.

D'you think it's possible that someone
could have been waiting for your husband?

What and ended up having
to deal with Lockhart as well?

How much do you remember
of this time? Not a lot.

I was only six.

All I remember is wondering where he'd gone
and being upset that he never came back.

We went to the stall today in
the hope of having a look round.

Where we are now is not where the business
was in '76. We were in the old poultry market.

We moved when
Smithfield was renovated.

Could we take a look
at it? I don't see why not.

Thank you. It would
be very helpful.

Bermondsey, where you
grew up, it's on the river right?

Yeah.

So, is that where the boats
from France used to land?

If you don't shut up I'm going to land a
right hook right on the end of your nose.

Bloody hell, look at this!

Gentlemen, how can I help you?

You can help yourself
to a pair of trousers...

I've just had me breakfast.

This way, boys.

Now, fancy a drink?

No, not for me.

How about you, sure you won't
have one? It's a bit early for me.

It's never too
early for pleasure.

You kit this place
out yourself? Yeah.

Yeah I did. Do you like it?

Very... original. You've done
well for yourself, haven't you?

I have, haven't I? We've uh,
been chatting to Dave snow.

He says you left Harry eldridge
and doctor Lockhart in the bull.

Yeah, that's right - snowy went back to his
stall and I went to the walthamstow dogs.

Can you believe they've shut that place
down? I mean it's a diabolical tragedy.

And you never saw
either of them again?

No. Yes, yeah I did, yeah I
saw the poor doctor again.

I wish I hadn't now. Of
course. You found the body.

Yeah, it was on Monday.

Did Lockhart and
eldridge have a row?

I never saw them. No?

And what was Harry like?

Dead straight. Devout. Devout?

Yeah, he was a catholic.
Religion was everything to him, see.

With Harry, right was right
and wrong was wrong. Right?

Strict. He was very good to me.

As I say he was honest, decent.

So, you don't think he could
have killed Lockhart? Harry?

What a meat cleaver to the old
fruit and nut? I don't think so, mate.

They found an iou
in Harry's pocket...

For five hundred quid.

Did they?

Dave snow reckoned it looked
like one of Danny paye's. Who?

Danny paye.

Villain out the east end.

Little big man in the '70s.

Danny paye. Oh, yeah.

He fancied himself, he did.

Harry ever mention owing or being
owed a sum of money like that?

Not that I remember, no. And
I'd remember that, wouldn't I?

I mean five ton was a fair
old whack in those days.

Yeah. And it must have been a
fair old whack to buy this gaff...

For a meat cutter?

Yeah, well, I've been
a lucky boy, haven't I?

You know with the
gee-gees and the dogs...

Harry was cut
up after he died...

Yeah, yeah I read about
that. It was terrible... Expertly.

Someone who knew what
they were doing. Yeah.

The surrey cops
said that as well.

They was younger than
you and better turned-out.

Listen, I knew Harry
eldridge for nine years.

I liked him, he liked me. Why
would I slice and dice him, hey?

Go on, get out.

Go on, on your way, both of you.

Bar's closed.

Maybe he owed a lot of money.
Maybe we can ask inspecteur huguenot!

Bonjour. Ca va? Bonjour
inspecteur. Yeah yeah yeah.

Je suis
en-bleedin'-glais, all right!

We were just saying that if Harry's business was in
trouble, then maybe Harry was in trouble. Bad debts.

Maybe someone was
waiting for Harry at the stall,

punish him, Lockhart's there as
well and ends up as collateral damage.

What, they kill 'em both, but only take
Harry with them?! Who says Harry died there?

I use, how you say?
The little grey cells!

Nah, Danny paye wasn't
that sort of operator!

We should be looking at where
Vernon got all that dough from.

He had the keys
to Harry's stall.

Now, I reckon he went back to the stall
thinking that Harry was busy with Lockhart,

then they turn up and find
him with his hand in the till.

What, then Vernon went psycho, hangs
Lockhart on a hook, drives away with Harry

dead or alive, cuts him up, buries him, and ambles
back in on Monday as large as life without a qualm?

Danny paye might have been small time, but he was
big enough to make the front pages in march '77.

"Last night a mass brawl in turk's head
yard, clerkenwell, left four men injured,

two seriously, all now
recovering in Bart's hospital.

The men, all in their thirties
and from the poplar area, include

Daniel paye, an individual
well known to the police.

The fight is believed to have started over a
territorial dispute between rival criminal gangs.

A police spokesman said no
arrests had been made..." March '77.

That's less than three months after
Lockhart dies and Harry disappears?

We need to know
more about Lockhart.

Was he a good doctor, was he a bad doctor, was
he friends with people he shouldn't have been?

Who just starts gambling with three
strangers? Sandra, can I have a word please?

In my office? Yes, sure.

Surrey police sent me a copy of the
results of the DNA tests on Harry eldridge.

The lab found evidence of three
different bloods on his clothing.

Three? Harry's, doctor Lockhart's,
and a third unknown person.

So that person could have
killed both Harry and Lockhart?

Possibly. But it could
also be yet another victim.

The point is that surrey ran the third sample
through the national criminal database.

And while they didn't find
an exact match, it did flag up

someone from the act profiles
with a very similar genetic profile...

Ie a direct and close relative.

Really? Who?

You.

Er, something to do
with high incidence of strs.

"Short tandem repeat polymorphisms
in the y chromosome," apparently.

Now, I should stress

that no-one else
knows about this,

nor will they.

But the fact remains that someone
closely related to you was present

when Harry, and possibly
Lockhart, were murdered.

The DNA is a man's.

The similarities make it clear that the
genes you have in common are your father's.

I understand
you're an only child?

Your father was
never married before?

I'm sorry but you'll understand
why I have to ask this.

Is it possible...

..Did your father

ever mention another family?

No. No, he didn't.

Morning. You're late.

Yeah, I'm sorry I had
a bit of a difficult night.

Danny's in a care home.

How have the mighty fallen.

Knock on door

Daniel? Daniel? Some
people here to see you.

Bugger off.

Now, Daniel... not them. You.

Old bill.

Very old bill.

Detective superintendent
Pullman, ucos. This is Jack halford.

Happy Jack halford!
I heard you'd retired.

We're here about the death of
Simon Lockhart. December 1976.

He was a doctor at
Bart's. Never heard of him.

Until last week everyone thought
Harry eldridge had killed him.

Oh, you've heard of him, then?

Read about him.

Dug up in bits, close by
the a3... That the one?

He had an iou in his pocket.
One of yours apparently.

Nah. Five hundred quid?

That's a lot of non-repayment.

What, someone owes me a monkey
so I have 'em whacked? You serious?

His business
wasn't doing too well.

You were trying to make a
name for yourself. I was a name!

Not after march '77 you weren't.

Must have hurt, that
kicking you got in clerkenwell.

Just three months
after Harry disappeared?

We're getting DNA off that iou.

They can do that nowadays.

And if it's found to be yours...

It ain't. Look, leave me
alone I'm an old man!

Unlike Lockhart. I don't know
nothing, and neither do you.

So leave me alone.

Piss off!

He's a lying toad.
DNA off an iou?

Worth a try.

Didn't rise to it
though, did he?

Didn't seem very
guilty either. No, sadly.

Text message alert

it's Gerry. He's got
something on Vernon.

Why don't you go to the market and
see if we can get access to the old stall?

I'll meet you there.
Right. See you later.

Ok, what is it?

Get this. Vernon murnaghan
has a 7% stake in eldridge meats.

He's had the shares for
years. He used to have more.

So? Sandra, meat cutters buy
egg and bacon sarnies, not shares.

'It might make Vernon unusual,
but it doesn't make him psychotic.'

oh, come on, how come he's loaded
when his boss's business went belly up?

I don't know. Maybe he
did win it all on the horses.

No. Nobody wins it all on
the horses! I should know.

'Anyway I'm going to do some more digging.
Is that all right?' Knock yourself out.

Yes, if you do that tree... excuse
me, I've got to deal with this lady.

Morning.

Have you got some news?

Not really, no. I, er, I just
need to clarify a few things.

We've spoken with Vernon murnaghan, who
apparently has shares in the family business.

After my husband disappeared,
the family part was rather diluted.

I had to try and secure some
more investment in order to survive.

People in the market were kind
enough to put money into the business.

Vernon was one of the
longer-term investors.

I hear it would have been a fair
bit of money, especially for Vernon

who, presumably, wouldn't
have been paid that well.

I know. He used
most of his savings.

He said it was the least he could do
after everything Harry had done for him.

Listen, Vernon, I'm
sorry about yesterday.

We seem to have got
off on the wrong foot.

Ah, it's water under the bridge.

You was only doing your job.

It's all forgotten about.

See, I'm from a similar
background to you.

I've got a lot of time for people
like you who pull themselves up.

To the extent that you even bought shares
in the business you used to work for.

Well, like I said,

Harry was very good to me.

And when he left Julia in schtuck, well,
the least I could do was help her out a bit.

What, with money
you won on the nags?

Yeah, that's right. Do you play?

Ah, no, not really. No.

Bugger me!

Beginner's luck.

I do play, really.

It was a lie,

but not as big as yours.

Now, I've known professional gamblers
who couldn't afford a gaff like this.

So, you'd better start levelling with me,
mouthful. Where'd you get the money?

I don't know what the hell you're talking
about. You don't remember me, do you?

I was one of those mugs
who bet with Danny paye.

Danny paye, who you ran errands
for in the '70s. Is it my shot yet?

There are a lot of people who ain't going to be very
impressed that he had a man inside in the market,

who had no loyalty to his
workmates, but to a lowlife gangster

who wanted to muscle into
Smithfield and start a protection racket.

Ancient history, mate. Is it?

Not to sid and
Barry lestade. Eh?

Hi, sid?

It's your cousin, Gerry.

Yeah, do you
remember Danny paye?

That's right, yeah, and do
you remember how our dads

were certain he had a man
on the inside at the market?

And do you remember what you used to say you
were gonna do to him if you found out who it was?

That's right, in little tiny bits.
Well, I've got some news for you...

Just stop it!
Pack it in, will ya?

Listen... It was just
the money, right?

I didn't do anything else.

Honest, it was just the money!

Hello again.

Aye, aye.

Where's the scrote?
Otherwise engaged.

Mind if I ask you a
couple of questions?

You two must have worked here a
good few years now? Man and boy.

1976?

'76?

Oh, well now, that's a
long time ago. Danny paye.

Who? He was a bit of lowlife.

I say 'was'...He's
still around. Just.

All right, what
about march, 1977?

Danny was in a spot of bother.

He got himself so badly beaten he
didn't leave hospital for a fortnight.

Turk's head yard,
about 500 yards that way.

The hospital was Bart's,
about 200 yards that way.

March? I think we
was both on holiday.

Skiing.

We're looking at a murder...
In this place... Of a doctor.

A man who dedicated his
life to others, you know?

I preferred being grilled
by that good-looking bird.

Can't you get her back here?

Tell me, is it a family thing, this,
not wanting to talk about Danny paye?

I mean, what's the deal? You two, ok. But
why doesn't Gerry want to know about it?

Listen. The truth is that
Gerry's in deep trouble over this.

I mean, we're talking
jail here, you understand?

And I'm trying to extract him.

The good-looking bird
doesn't even know I'm here.

And neither does Gerry,
so come on, let's have it.

Well, in the '70s... Gerry
got into a bit of trouble.

Just the '70s?

A lot of trouble.

Gambling. He had all his ious,
they were bought up by a loan shark.

Danny paye. Yeah. The same.

Well, Gerry couldn't pay him
back, so he ended up taking a doing.

They made a right mess of him.

Well, Gerry being a cop
made the matter worse.

He was told that his debt
would double unless he could

start coming up with info that
Danny paye could use. Professionally.

Yeah, exactly.

Gerry didn't know what to do.

So, he told his missus...
You know, his first wife.

She only goes and
tells his old man.

Oh, blimey, Norman,
he went bananas.

Norman is Gerry's father?

Yeah, our uncle. That's right. He
was a real character, uncle Norman.

Truth is, him and Gerry,
they were a lot like each other.

Norman, he couldn't care less
about the black sheep being in hock.

His own silly fault, he says.

But he's buggered if he's
going to let his son take a kicking

from a jumped-up, bullying
little toe-rag like Danny paye.

So, Norman, our
dad, Barry, me...

Well, we was handy,
you know what I mean?

30 other blokes from the market, we
had a rendezvous with Danny paye.

Him and a load of
his guys from poplar.

It was a massacre!

Happy days.

When I found Lockhart
hanging from that hook,

I knew Harry had done it. Why?

Because Harry eldridge was a
nasty bastard, with a temper to match.

That's not what everyone else
says. They wouldn't. It's the market.

Tell 'em nothing -
especially the law.

But let me tell you - a lot of people
were happy to see the back of 'im.

Ok. So, what did you do then?

I checked out the safe and opened
it. You opened the safe? How?

I knew the combination, didn't I?
I'd seen Harry do it enough times.

So, you just helped
yourself. How much?

12 grand. Listen, I helped Julia out with her problems
and put some of the cash back into the business.

No, you bought shares and it
wasn't even your bleedin' money!

Hold on, hold on, this all to
do with gambling debts, isn't it?

How much did you owe
Danny paye? I didn't.

That iou we found in Harry's
pocket was yours, wasn't it?

He bought that debt off of Danny,
the same way Danny bought mine.

You owed Harry that
500 quid, didn't ya?

Listen, everybody
did. It was dog eat dog.

Do you know what? Sometimes, I think I'm
getting too old for this kind of behaviour.

But in your case, I'm
going to make an exception.

Oh!

That's him, doctor.

Mr Lane?

That's right. And
you are dr Carson.

Miranda Carson, nee barnett.

1976. You shared a flat with
Simon Lockhart. Dr Lockhart.

I'm sorry, but as you
can see, I'm very busy.

Oh, that's all
right, I shall wait.

No, it's out of the question.

It's all right, I'm from the
police. Unsolved crime.

Actually, I'm here about
a mur... Yes, yes, all right.

Come back at one.
I can see you then.

He mouths

Knock on door

come in.

Ah, they said I'd find you here.

Oh, hi. Yeah, the drudge report.

I take it this is what
your mother used to do.

The only women I've seen
downstairs are in the cash booths.

I don't think germaine
greer sells big in Smithfield.

So, tell me, who
fronted the business

after your father disappeared?
David snow, I think, for a bit.

Vernon for a while.
He did very well.

David snow, Vernon murnaghan...

Yeah, worth their while.

They invested, too.

Along with a fair few
others downstairs.

Er, Jim peach, Colin
Arthur, lestades...

Sid and Barry?

Well, more their dad
and his brother, really.

Do you know them? Indirectly.

So, all these people
put money in?

So, will it be ok to go
and look at the old stall?

Yeah. I'll ring security,
see if they'll let us in.

Hello, Jean. What do you want?

I'm here about deidre.

I told you everything... Deidre's boy.
The one my father brought to you. Carl?

He was my father's son, wasn't he?
I don't know. Please... you do know.

Was he my father's son?

Right.

You took him somewhere, you left
him in some church. Which one? Where?

I can't remember. Wrong answer!

Nothing to worry about.

Just make sure you get an appointment
with her gp within the next week.

Thank you.

Can we make this brief? I've got
a special case conference at two.

Simon Lockhart. What about him?

Well, it looks like the bloke everyone thought
might have killed him might not have done.

Harry eldridge.

He turned up. Chopped up.

Oh, my god. Exactly.

So, you and Simon.
You shared a flat.

I rented a room in his flat.

Yeah, that's what
you said at the time.

Said you hardly
knew him. I didn't.

Mrs Carson, the person who cut
up Harry eldridge was very good at it.

At dissection.

Like a doctor, say.

You don't honestly
think I was involved?

1976.

You're 26. Lockhart's 35.

I honestly think you
were lying to the police.

I honestly think you
were his girlfriend.

All right, all right. Yes.

I was seeing him. Thank you.

Why didn't you
say that at the time?

I'd only just qualified.

I didn't want all that had
happened to hang over me.

It was very... inconvenient?

So. Simon. Tell me about him.

He was... Charming.

Naughty but nice, as they say.

Naughty?

Well, he had his fair
amount of scrapes.

Hopeless with money. Bit of
a gambler? That didn't help.

So, he could have owed
money? All over the place.

So, what did you mean
when you said 'scrapes'?

He'd been up before the hospital
authorities a couple of times.

What had he done?
Conduct unbecoming.

We were caught doing
what we shouldn't.

The other time was more serious.

He told me that, just
after he'd qualified,

he came into Bart's with a teenage girl who
was seriously ill after an illegal abortion.

Now, this was in 1966,
pre the abortion act.

And? It was
probably his girlfriend.

But, by bringing her in,
he helped save her life.

So, in the end, the
hospital just censured him.

It's all changed.

There was so much
stuff being built back then.

Jean, that's st Paul's.
It survived the blitz.

I remember this.

Yeah, I think...

We're close.

It's... it's just round here.

I... yeah, that's it.

Yeah, I remember.
That's the one.

Where?

Where did you leave him, Jean?

What did you say to him?

To stay there. That
he'd be all right.

That someone would
come and take care of him.

What did he say? Nothing.

There was something wrong
with him since his mum died.

He couldn't speak. It was
some sort of shock thing.

So, you... you left this small
boy, who couldn't speak...

You just left... you just...

Left him here?

And you never saw him

or heard anything
about him ever again?

Can I go now? Yes,
I think you'd better.

Ah, I thought I heard
someone. Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.
Are you in charge?

I'm the vicar here,
yes. Paul rees.

Detective
superintendent Pullman.

I'm trying to find out what happened to a young boy
who was left here, in this church, some 35 years ago.

He was actually abandoned.

Round about 1974.

Is there any way that you might
know what happened to him?

Not personally, but yes, I recall
my predecessor talking about it.

Really? Of course.

It was obviously very unusual.

The boy was disturbed, I think.

Yes. Yes, he was. Yeah.
A parishioner found him.

She and canon parry took him to Bart's, to the
hospital, to have him looked at. Checked over.

Is there a way that we
could find out the exact date?

Possibly. I'd need to
check the church records.

Mobile rings

I'm terribly sorry. Don't
worry, go ahead. Thank you.

Jack. Where are you? Brian and
I are at the old stall in Smithfield.

Yeah, i'm... It's ok, I'm only round
the corner. I'll be with you in a sec.

There's news. Ok, I'm on my way.

Er, this... this is my number.

If you do find out anything, could
you give me a ring? Yes, I will.

Thank you.

This place is a death trap.

Sorry, it's a figure of speech.

It's all right.

Oh, hi. Hi.

Mind how you go. Thank you.

This is it. There's
the rail and the hooks.

Do you remember this place?

Before my time.

Hang somebody up on a hook that high, you'd
have to be pretty strong. And pretty mad.

Well, I've seen enough.

Thanks very much. Any time.

Thank you. You
said there was news?

Dr Lockhart gambled. A lot.

Owed money. Who to? Danny paye?

He was a bit of a one
with the ladies, apparently.

And he also got into trouble
with the hospital authorities.

He might have carried out an illegal abortion
in '66. None of this was in the file.

You?

Seems half the market helped
Julia out when Harry disappeared.

Vernon, snow and Gerry's family.

What is it? 1976, Gerry got
into debt with Danny paye.

Heavily. They worked him over.

And the seeing-to Danny and co got
was payback from Gerry's dad and family.

Where is he?

Oh, hello again.

What can I do you for? A word.

A bit busy.

You'll be a lot less busy
unless we have a word.

Now, I've heard that Harry eldridge wasn't quite
the happy-go-lucky chappy we were led to believe.

Feel free to jump in.

He could be a bit tricky.

Tricky, as in violent?

How much did you
owe him? Not a lot.

250.

350. I didn't kill him!

No, of course not.

But you weren't exactly
devastated when somebody else did.

Oi, snowy.

All right, what have I done now?

You didn't tell me about you and Danny
paye, your former bookie. What was the idea?

That somehow we'd get through this investigation
without me ever finding out? You cannot be that stupid!

I didn't say anything because I knew Danny
paye and I knew this wasn't his style.

Right, he just broke a few bones, rather
than chop 'em up with a meat cleaver(!)

He had nothing to do with it.

And I did not lie. You
didn't tell the truth.

Well, I'm sorry, we can't all be
perfect coppers like you, can we?

You've never held anything
back, have you? No, I haven't.

Not from each other! Not
when it's vital to the case, Gerry.

This isn't vital! Fine.
I've got news for you.

Lockhart liked a little flutter.

And guess what? Just like you, he
was crap at it. And he was deep in debt.

Just like you. Really?

Ok, so tell me, what has this got to do with Vernon
murnaghan nicking 12 grand out of eldridge's safe? Eh?

Dave, Dave! Come here.

Tell her about eldridge. Go on.

I owed Harry money.

A few of the market people
did. Yeah. Him, 350. Vernon, 500.

Danny paye wasn't the
only shark in the market.

What about the lestades?

Did they owe Harry
money? I doubt it.

Especially not Norman.

Why'd he help Julia out, then?

You can go away now.

My people are straight.

Dead straight.
Well, something isn't.

So tomorrow you need to ask 'em.

And Jack will go with you.

We're missing a trick here.

Doc Lockhart's supposed to
have just joined this game of spoof.

And then bang he's murdered
and hung up on a hook?

But as Danny paye says, you don't
kill someone who owes you money.

You do what he did to Gerry.

Yeah, well, thanks
for the memory.

No, Lockhart's death's
about something else.

He knew something. Or somebody.

He didn't. Everyone says.
Yeah, I know what everyone says.

But there's a lot of what everyone says in
this case turns out to be only the half of it.

Bart's is... what? 300
yards from the market.

Lockhart's in a&e.

He must have treated any
number of people from round there.

Phone rings

hello?

Good morning. It's Paul rees.

From Saint
Bartholomew's? Oh, hi.

I tried ringing you last night.
Yeah sorry. I, I turned it off.

Well, the good news is I've
found what you were looking for.

It's a sort of diary. I've got it
with me here at the church.

Ok, right, I'll be right there.
Thanks very much. Bye.

Look, this is just unfair.

I know. I'm really sorry.

I thought you might do
me a favour. A favour?

We need to try and find out who Simon Lockhart
might have seen at work, leading up to when he died.

Well, you could find out
much quicker than I could.

Are you saying you want me to trawl through
hospital records? I have a list of names.

There's only about four or five.

You didn't help us 33 years
ago. You could do now.

You'd only need
to look back about...

12, 18 months, up
to December 1976.

Go on, see if he
treated any of that lot.

You could get your
secretary to do it.

She's very good.

I don't know what I'm
going to say to 'em.

Want me to do it? No, no.

Morning, boys. Bleeding hell,
ain't you got no home to go to?

Don't see you for months on
end, now I'm sick of the sight of you.

It worked out all right
in the end then, eh?

You're not in trouble
any more? Eh?

Oh, your mate here said you was in the shit
if we didn't let on about you and Danny paye.

He said you were...
well, looking at doing time.

What you been telling him?
Nah he lied, you muppet.

It's true.

Anyway, the bad news is we've got to pump you
for more info about my old man. What about him?

Well, we know that he put money into eldridge's
business after Harry disappeared. But what we don't know

is whether he owed
Harry any money.

Norman? Don't be daft. So why'd he do
it? Well, he was fond of her, weren't he?

Julia. Had a soft spot for her.

What, he fancied her? Oi. Oi.

That's out of order. I've seen
her. She's a good-looking woman.

Cut it out, both of you.

This is my dad we're
talking about and he's dead.

Yeah and I'm telling you, Julia
was on her uppers. She needed help.

Single woman, a boy who'd
lost his dad all of a sudden.

She couldn't cope. And the
boy, whoa, he was in a right state.

Now, your dad forked out so that
Julia could send him to a special school

while she tried to keep
the business going.

What out of the
goodness of his heart?

Did Norman like Harry eldridge?

Yeah, course he
did. Everybody did.

That's what everybody
said 30 years ago.

Not what they're saying now.

Look, this is my old
man. Just tell us the truth.

Hello. Hello. Thank
you for calling me.

I uh, I had to root around
a bit, the actual date

fell right at the end of the
book so it took a bit of time.

The good news is, canon parry added a note
subsequent to the entry he made on the day.

He obviously took a keen interest
in what happened to the boy.

May 8th 1974. You'll see he writes that when
the boy was found he seemed unable to speak.

The interesting thing is this note, which
canon parry obviously made some time later.

He writes that there was a
refreshingly happy outcome to this story.

It appears that the
woman who found him,

canon parry suggests because her
husband had a fair amount of influence,

was eventually
allowed to adopt the boy.

By this time he was
beginning to talk again.

This... this is the
woman who found him?

Julia eldridge.

Do you know the name?

She clears her throat

it didn't take long, did it? Yes, well all
the records have been put on computer now.

None of these people is down
as having been treated by Simon.

But there is someone
related to one of them.

Harry eldridge's
wife, apparently.

Julia eldridge?

Do you know why she came in?

Facial injuries.
Fractured cheekbone.

That was about six
weeks before Simon died.

She'd also been in
a month before, too.

No fractures but badly bruised.
I've written it all down there for you.

May I go now?

Yes, yes, of course.

Thank you. I wonder,

I couldn't use your
telephone, could I?

Mobile rings

But how did my dad know?

Just by chance.

He was standing the other side of the roundabout when
Julia came out of Bart's with her face all bound up.

He... he always liked her,

so he goes up to her and
asks her what happened.

She told him? Nah.

She said she'd
fallen down the stairs.

Norman knew it was bull. Why?

Because he knew Harry eldridge.

Knew what he was like.

Go on.

Your old man comes back to the
market and goes up to see Harry.

Told him if he ever laid
a finger on Julia again...

He'd kill him.

Jack halford. 'It's me, Brian.

'Listen, we have to find Sandra.

'Julia eldridge...'
Yes, we know.

Thank you.

You look very serious.

Some time ago, I worked on a case involving
a small boy who ended up disappearing.

In fact he was, er, he was abandoned
in Saint Bart's church in 1974.

I only discovered today that you
were the person who found him.

(My god.)

I understand that, eventually, he
was adopted by you. Yes, he was.

Julia, I need to know what
happened to him. What do you mean?

What happened to him?

It was..

He was Tom.

Tom.

You changed his name.

Well, he didn't have a name. He
was so traumatized he didn't speak.

No-one could discover
what he was called

and, er... So we called him Tom.

Julia, we found quite a lot
of blood on Harry's clothes.

Some of it was Lockhart's, most of it was
Harry's. But we also found another person's blood.

So...

I need you to explain

why Tom's blood
was on Harry's clothes.

I don't know how, how it,

how Tom's blood could be on
Harry's clothes. It's not possible.

So far, everyone I've spoken to,
connected with this case, has lied to me.

And actually I've had enough.

So, could you just tell
me the truth, please?

Tom's blood is on Harry's
clothes because he was there.

He was here when Harry died.

When I was 17, I got
pregnant by a young doctor.

He asked me to have an
abortion. It was still illegal then.

And he messed it up. Lockhart.

He got me into
Bart's, and they...

They managed
to sort it out, but...

..I never saw him again, not
till ten years later. That was...

After you adopted Tom?

Harry and I couldn't
have children.

So he was very happy
when we found Tom.

He thought it was
divine intervention.

We loved him.

I loved him so much.

But Tom had problems. He needed
special help and Harry ended up...

Seeing him, not so much
as a blessing, as a curse.

And then he started
to take it out on me.

How? He used to hit me.

And that's how I came
across Lockhart again.

In Bart's a&e.

He found out about
Harry, who he was.

He was...

..Bankrupt and he said that if I didn't
give him money he would go to Harry -

Harry the devout catholic -

and tell him that the reason we were
childless was because I'd had an abortion.

What did you do? I said no.

But Lockhart was
as good as his word.

And he, that Saturday, came
and he found Harry and told him.

And Harry killed him. Then Harry
came home and he tried to kill me.

And Tom was
there? In the kitchen.

Harry grabbed a knife.

He came towards me
and Tom tried to stop him.

He was crying and screaming.

And... we struggled with...

And then...

We fell down.

He just lay there.

And then blood started
to come out of his mouth.

Tom was in shock.

Harry...

Harry fell on the knife? Yes.

We sort of had hold of each
other and then we tripped and fell.

All of us in a pile.

Harry's arm was sort of...

Like this, and the knife
went up into his back.

Up into his back?

Yes.

That's not how it
happened, Julia.

That's... that's not
how it happened.

It was Tom, wasn't it?

Oh, Tom, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

He's my brother.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It's my brother.
