# I'm trying hard to be your tower of strength

# I'm trying hard to bring you back to joy

# And give you my heart give you my shoulder

# And give you my heart give you my shoulder... #

Where are you going?

What's going on? You can't leave like this.

I was just trying to be honest.

God!

SHE SOBS

Ow! Aghhhhh!

CAR ALARM SOUNDS

Let me out!

SHE SCREAMS

Please let me out.

SHE SCREAMS

Ahhhhh!

Oh, boy!

Oh... Oh, God.

Please...please...

Emergency. Which service do you require? My car's sinking. Hello?

I can't get out. I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Oooh!

The doors are jammed. I can't get out!

Help me!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Please!

I've found it.

RADIO CRACKLES

How long is this going to take?

Er, if you could stay back, sir.

I own this land. And I need access.

I've got building work about to start here. You live nearby?

Er, did you hear anything unusual around 11 o'clock last night?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Is it normal to have people parking here?

I've given up trying to stop trespassers.

Ma'am, they've found the car. There's, er, a body inside.

OK, thank you.

Whose body? If you could just move over there, please. I have a right to know.

I need to speak to a senior officer. Yeah, of course you do(!)

Tell your boss, when he gets here, I want a word with him.

There's tyre tracks

where the car went in the water,

and two sets further up the bank. OK. Start a fingertip search.

And extend the perimeter, yeah?

Any news on the pathologist yet? Er,

local police surgeon's on his way.

Can you make it a double? What is it, hair of the dog? More like Dutch courage, actually.

RADIO: 'Next of kin

at the perimeter.'

Well, get them out of sight.

And move the cordon back.

Sir, could you move back?

Extend the cordon.

I'll do that.

Move back, please.

As a highly-respected police officer with an unblemished record,

you took the law into your own hands.

You threatened to throw a suspect off a high-rise building

and jeopardised a murder case.

Do you understand why this action's been brought against you?

Yes, I do.

SIREN WAILS

Oooh! Sorry I'm late. I had to make two emergency stops.

My bladder's about the size of a peanut these days.

It's all right. I'm not an invalid. Ma'am. And you can drop the "ma'am"

stuff. It's Fiona.

DS Havers. Your parents didn't give

you a first name, then? Barbara.

So what's the state of play?

Er, 999 call from a mobile phone last night, owned by Edie Covington. We triangulated the call to here.

Divers have recovered a hatchback and the body of a woman matching

the description.

Next of kin? Ah, Tim and Millie Sumner.

Cute little girl. But what are they doing at the crime scene?

They turned up. I kept them behind the cordon.

And did the husband report Edie missing? Er, partner, not husband.

And, er, no, the parents did.

Tilda and Joe Covington.

She's been living with them for a few months. Mmm.

We'd better keep a close eye on him.

There's no point in doing door-to-doors round here.

Oh, the, er, nearest neighbour's a local landowner.

Did you get a statement? He wanted to talk to a senior officer.

When I'm not here, you ARE the senior officer, Barbara.

I like people who take command.

Yes, ma'am. Er, Fiona. There you go.

It's not that hard, is it?

I've heard you've had your problems with other SIOs. But don't worry,

we'll get along just fine.

I'll call you in a couple of days. Take care.

Helen. I'm, er...

providing moral support... from a distance.

How's it going?

Well, could be better.

Really? I heard the CPS weren't going to press charges.

I keep my ear to the ground.

Being married to a detective helps.

You look splendid.

Charmer. No, seriously. You look amazing.

Have you been away? Huh, hardly. I've been working all hours.

They've decided I'm mad enough to be nominated for a professorship.

I'm on my way to the last interview now. That's great.

Congratulations. Let's not hang out the bunting. I thought I was the cautious one?

You ARE the cautious one, Tommy.

I'm just, um...superstitious.

Hey, we could have dinner?

That would be nice. Not a celebration, just dinner.

Just dinner. When?

I might have rather a lot of time on my hands, so...

Tommy, it won't come to that. You're too good, you know that.

Ah, but do they? Of course they do, and you knock them dead.

Look, yeah, sorry, I've got to go.

What... Helen? Dinner?

Call me.

I'll even cook if you like.

She's beautiful. But so young.

We'll need to get a positive ID from her partner. Mmm. It's Edie. There's no doubts about that.

What, you knew her?

I'm her GP. Tim and I were at school together.

Are you gonna be all right with this?

I'll draw up the death certificate. Would you like me to break the news?

We'll deal with it, thanks.

Wouldn't mind following up that lead, eh?

Her watch stopped at the same time as the mobile call - 11:14pm.

It gives us an approximate time of death. We can rule out suicide.

She called 999. Bag this.

So how did the car get in the water?

Oh, our best guess is that it was rammed several times by a powerful vehicle.

Possibly a four-wheel drive.

That would fit with these tracks.

And it looks like they were both made by the same vehicle.

So the murder weapon was a car? Yeah.

I'll check on all the 4x4s in the area.

Oh, good luck. Everyone has 'em round here.

You should go home.

There's nothing you could do.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm sorry, Mr Sumner. Would you mind following us?

Why? We need you to identify

the body for the Coroners' Court.

An officer will look after

your daughter. I'll take her. I could look after Millie. No, it's fine.

She's not going anywhere. We'll need to impound your car for some tests.

This gentleman will drive you to the mortuary.

I'll take Millie to her grandparents. The neighbours'll take her. I'll sort it.

How old was Edie? Er, 25.

He must be nearly 20 years older. What does that tell you?

She liked security?

He likes control.

Given 90% of murders are domestic in origin, then most women are killed by their partners.

I'll pump Mr Sumner when he IDs the body. You interview the parents.

If you want to find out how someone died, find out how they lived.

How they loved.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Where are you? Ah, I'm on a case.

A young woman drowned in a car. Where?

Er, somewhere near Lydd, on the Kent coast.

It's like the end of the Earth.

Don't tell me they've rotated you again. 'I've been seconded to...'

Constabulary. Yeah, they've moved me around a lot since you've been gone.

Er, what is it you want, sir?

I've given evidence in my hearing

and they're going quite hard on this "unreasonable force" argument.

I need to know what you're gonna say. Why?

You know what I'm gonna say.

What? The truth. We need to go through things in detail.

If our stories don't tie up...

Look, um, I'm in...the middle of a case. I, I've gotta go.

Havers, this is my career?! Er, you're breaking up.

Just come down, ask for me.

The local force will tell you where the crime scene is. I'll catch you later.

CD PLAYS

'The mind is like a locked door. We don't know what we want.

'We don't know who we are.

'If we could unlock the secret side of ourselves, we could overcome

'all our inhibitions, realise our dreams, become who we really are.

'Self-belief breeds confidence.

'It compels us to have the power to set ourselves free.'

Did you keep in regular contact with Edie?

Every day, because of Millie.

Did you know she was going out last night? No.

Sounds like Edie was quite a free spirit.

Edie couldn't be pinned down, even if you tried. Is that why

you separated? No.

How would you characterise your relationship? I wouldn't. What?

Characterise it. You were together five years but you didn't marry?

Edie didn't believe in conventions. Did you have an OPEN relationship?

Because we weren't married, doesn't mean we weren't committed.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

And I know that this is a difficult time, but I do have to ask you some questions.

Um, can you think of any reason why anyone might

want to harm your daughter?

No. Everybody just always fell in love with Edie.

Do you have any idea what she was doing at the lakeside?

Well, it's cos she always loved it, ever since she was a kid. But I thought that was private land.

It's been commons for centuries. People used to graze their cattle there.

They swim and walk their dogs.

Then that idiot wants to develop

the land. No, no...

suddenly there's fences everywhere and we can't get access?!

Er, so the ownership was a matter of...

TIMER RINGS

..er, dispute?

Is that all? There are still several questions I've got to ask.

That can wait. My daughter needs me.

And her mother has been murdered.

We have to examine everything relevant to this offence. That'll mean a search of your house.

Don't you need a warrant for that?

Only if you've got something to hide.

Er, what time did Edie go out last night? I don't know.

About seven. She had a yoga class.

And what time did that finish?

At eight. But, um, then Tim phoned to say he was gonna pick Millie up.

They both looked after her? Yeah.

So it was an amicable separation?

We don't have to go into that, do we?

Edie and Tim had their problems.

No more than anyone else.

Um, could Edie have gone down to the lake with someone?

What are you getting at?

Well, I'm told this spot is known as a favourite for...

for courting couples.

My daughter is dead.

She's not even buried, and you're trying to drag her

name through the mud already.

Is DS Havers here? Can I see your warrant card, sir?

Er... Ah...

Sorry, I can only let accredited officers past. If you could move back.

RADIO CRACKLES

Havers, it's me. Look, I'm at the cordon.

Can you give me a call, please? How long is this going to stay up?

I've no idea, sir. Well, are we talking hours, days? Weeks?

Any of the above.

I need access.

It is a murder scene, sir. Edie Covington, isn't it?

Tragic.

Boys. Boys. Yeah, all right. You knew the victim?

By repute.

I do hope the delay doesn't cause you too much trouble.

Never ends.

Planning permission. Court hearings. Every lost day costs me money.

So this is all your land, then?

This has been in my family since the Domesday Book.

Deeds to prove it.

I don't mind peaceful protest.

Mass trespass, criminal damage.

They have to be stopped.

And this Edie Covington, she was one of the protesters?

Someone stopped her for good, didn't they?

I meant in court.

Of course you did. And your

house is up here, is that right? What's your name...and rank?

Detective Inspector Lynley. Can I see your warrant card?

PHONE RINGS

Sorry. My phone.

What are you looking for?

Er, phone bills, credit card statements.

Anything which might help us establish what Edie was

doing before she died.

Er, what's the Trust?

Mrs Covington, we think your daughter was murdered.

I need to know everything.

It's a clinic. What kind of a clinic?

Edie was young when she got pregnant.

Millie's birth was difficult.

She was in a lot of pain for months afterwards.

She started taking painkillers.

So it was a rehab clinic?

She, what, developed an addiction? I had no idea.

Not for ages. But we faced up to it.

She got help,

and she got better.

"Eleuthera". Does that mean anything to you? No. I'm sorry, it doesn't.

Um, it looks like two months ago something happened.

She cancelled all her appointments.

This came for Edie.

Was Edie planning to leave the country?

Look, sometimes people can get trapped in an unhappy relationship, and then someone else... Joe's right.

You're trying to dig the dirt.

Look, whatever Edie did, she didn't deserve to die like this.

What's his name?

Joshua Holcombe.

He's a musician.

They met years ago when they were teenagers.

Um...when did their relationship start up again?

Around the time she went to the Trust.

I was right about Tim. Classic controlling type, with a temper to boot.

All we need now is a match on the paint.

Any news on the marriage from the parents?

Edie received a new passport for Millie. So? They weren't married.

And Millie took her dad's name.

But the passport was for Millie Covington, Edie's name. Maybe she planned to take her away. Maybe.

What else? Er, she had an addiction to painkillers, and she attended a rehab clinic called the Trust.

Around about the same time she took up with an old flame, Joshua Holcombe. A lover?

Did you get an addr... Yeah.

Also, I've been on to the DVLA.

Joshua Holcombe owned a Shogun, J reg, 4x4.

All right, all right. I asked for it.

I said I liked people who took command.

See how you like it in the driver's seat.

We're looking for Joshua Holcombe. No. No, I've never heard of him.

It's a criminal offence to obstruct police in their enquiries. Where is Joshua? Oh, you mean Josh?

Sorry, I didn't recognise the name. Er, no. No, I haven't seen him for a few days. Oh.

I've been on my feet all day.

Any chance of a cup of tea?

Yeah.

Someone left in a hurry. Always looks like this.

What happened to you? Er, gardening accident.

Oh, don't tell me. You trod on a rake.

That's right. What, three times?

FIONA CHUCKLES

Now what happened to that cup of tea?

So, how long's Josh away for? >

I dunno. I'm not his mother. He's free to come and go as he pleases.

He drives a Mitsubishi >

Shogun registration J773 BJN. You know where it is?

No. It's his car, not mine. >

I don't suppose you'd know what he was wearing last night?

No idea.

Where does Josh...?

And you've no idea where Josh might be? No forwarding address?

I don't keep tabs. I'm not his mother. He's a free agent.

You're a pretty free agent yourself.

Interesting vegetation in the loft. What is that you're growing? It's Josh's domain.

That amount of cannabis will get you a custodial sentence.

Well, I didn't notice any plants on the way in.

And I'm sure, if Matt keeps me riveted with information, I won't notice them on the way out either.

What d'you wanna know?

The body of Edie Covington

was found in her car in Statham Lake.

She's dead? Yeah. We suspect she was murdered.

So tell us about Josh and Edie.

If you'd met her, it was hard not to fall in love with her.

Josh even had her name tattooed on his arm.

So you held a bit of a flame for her, too? No, no.

Josh would have killed us.

So is that what really happened to your face? No.

What rekindled their romance?

They shared the same passions.

What for? Narcotics and prescription painkillers?

For nature. Saving the planet before it's covered in concrete.

How's that tied up with this?

We know that Edie went to the clinic for six months. Josh go there, too?

Probably.

Probably? You know what worms do when you dig them up in the garden?

Squirm. They both went there.

That's all I know. End of. Well, something happened two months ago.

Edie stopped going to the Trust. Why was that?

Search me.

They were lovers.

Bet Josh's DNA is all over Edie.

Well, the pathologist is doing the PM later.

So he goes to meet her last night, and then just disappears.

Well, maybe Edie didn't want to leave without the girl.

But Josh was obsessed. Even had her name tattooed on his arm.

Matt said they were desperately in love.

Desperate enough to kill?

Mmm.

He's done a runner. Circulate his description.

PHONE BEEPS

Oh, er, ma'am.

Er, sorry, Fiona. Er, I forgot to ask.

Um, I sort of said that my old boss could come and see me.

Tired of me already?

No, it's... Well, it's just he's up on this disciplinary.

So I hear. For assaulting a suspect.

Well, no, he was protecting a woman from a murderer. It was reasonable force.

You two have something of a track record, don't you?

Yeah, well, we were a good team.

Barbara, I don't care what other police officers say about you.

I'm sure we'll make a good team, too.

ANSWERPHONE: 'I'm sorry,

but the person you've called is not available.

'Please leave your message after...'

Ooh!

Well, they're tracking his SIM card and mobile, so not much more we can do now.

Well, we could check out the land rights angle.

Yeah, I think that's OK for background, but I don't think it's gonna turn up our killer.

OK, last round. Collective nouns.

Right, I'll just make some calls. I'll see you back here in a minute.

OK. Er, what are you drinking?

Red wine. Don't you start.

Red wine it is. Would you please make

sure you write your answers clearly.

And in block capitals.

Oh, and just a quick reminder that Sheila will be serving

a pie and pea supper for just £1.50 after the quiz.

You found me then.

I used to be a detective, remember? We all know that there are herds of

cows,

flocks of sheep and schools of fish.

But what is the collective noun for...apes?

Is that troupe?

No, that's for monkeys.

Apes is something, um...

It's less obvious.

Er, a cleverness. No.

Anyway, how's it going?

Um, we've just launched a manhunt for our prime suspect.

Oh, good. Who?

A Josh Holcombe.

Old flame of the victim. Gone AWOL last night.

And we suspect some kind of lover's tiff. Do you mean, um...

him?

Shrewdness.

A shrewdness of apes, that's it.

Where did you get this? Er, the internet.

It's very good for research. You should try it some time.

Josh Holcombe and the victim were protesting against

a development by local landowner

Owen Harcourt-Baines.

Now, the protest turned quite nasty, ended up in court.

Er, have you interviewed Harcourt-Baines yet? No, not yet.

Done forensics on his car? No. But he is a suspect, surely?

I thought you came here to talk about your disciplinary, not criticise my work.

Sorry. Force of habit.

You know, I haven't actually got much time to talk. Er, my SIO will be here in a minute.

You've had enough time to think about that, ladies and gentlemen.

Next question.

You're upset with me for some reason, aren't you?

Is it something I said? No.

No, it's something you've never said. Like, "I'm sorry, Havers,

for what happened.

"It must be hard losing your partner and bouncing around from officer to officer like a bad cheque."

Yeah, I'm sorry. I've really let you down, haven't I?

Oh, it's not just that.

What else is it?

You're fishing.

Fishing? Don't make me say it.

Look, my new boss is OK.

You've only just started here. Maybe your reputation precedes you.

No, it's not that I don't get on with people. I get on with you.

It's not the same with anyone else.

Maybe I could help with the investigation? No. No. Just informal stuff.

Er, the background checks you hate doing.

OK. Um, look, I think we're missing something. Edie went to this rehab clinic until a couple of months ago.

Then she stopped going and cancelled her appointments

and wrote "Eleuthera" in her diary. D'you know where that is?

It's an island off the Bahamas. That fits. I think she was planning to get away.

What forensics have you got? Excellent. Thanks for that.

Edie's vehicle was rammed by a 4x4. There should be paint residue.

I'll fish around. See what I can find out.

Background checks only. Yeah, yeah. No talking to suspects, OK?

Did I interrupt something?

Er, what news? Er, we're in luck.

They've got a trace on Josh's mobile phone. Apparently it's still active in the area.

The signal's too weak to get a precise triangulation, but I think Matt's been talking to Josh.

Better get back to the cottage. Oooh...

So that's Tom Lynley.

Oh, easy guess.

Dark moody types are a weakness of mine.

Definitely moody.

So you had your chat, then?

Um, oh, I found this on the internet.

I hope he didn't try and muscle in on our case.

Edie and Josh were protesting against the lakeside development. That could be a lead.

Let's not lose the wood for the trees.

Josh Holcombe was Edie's lover, was at the scene of the crime,

didn't report it.

And is on the run as we speak.

I'm an easy-going boss, Barbara.

But one thing I do expect... 100% loyalty.

Hello, can you tell me the number for the Land Registry, please?

No, just text it to me.

You can't help feeling sorry for him.

One mistake and this is what he gets. Josh?

No, Tom Lynley.

Is he single?

Well...kind of. Er, separated.

If anyone doesn't understand the impulse to murder, then they've never been married.

I take it there's no Mr Knight? Well, this wasn't exactly planned.

There he is.

Why would Joshua Holcombe come back here now?

I dunno. D'you want me to take a closer look? Yeah.

I think he saw me.

OK, fasten your seat belts.

This could be a bumpy ride.

DOG BARKS

Get him!

Are you sure this is all right for the baby? Oh, he's loving it - kicking like crazy.

Hold on.

OK, now we've got him.

What do you think you're doing, Matt?

I was just borrowing Josh's car.

Well, where did you get it?

He kept it in a lock-up.

What's going on? Where the hell is Josh?

I've told you, I don't know.

Did you check the car? Any paint traces or dents?

Yeah, bit of a problem - no front bumper.

Come on, we'll need to interview you about the murder of Edie Covington.

"Never was there a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo."

Do you have a quote for every autopsy you do?

What's better? To see them as pieces of meat, or fragments of poetry?

Heard you were on suspension. I am.

What are you doing here? Have motorbike, will travel, need overtime.

What's your excuse? Thomas Lynley.

I've heard a lot about you. Good things, I hope.

And the bad things aren't his fault. Great detective work.

Yeah, er, what were you doing at the lake? Going for a stroll?

Fishing.

Bang goes one of our prime suspects.

Anyway...water takes, but it also gives back.

The wrinkling on his hands and on his feet suggest that time of death

may not be too far from Edie's.

Both died by drowning?

Well, both of them had water in their lungs, but it's not as simple as that.

Ah, I feel a lecture coming on.

All right.

A brief chronicle of death by water.

The classic drowning goes through stages.

You try to hold your breath but, ultimately, you start inhaling water,

which is rapidly absorbed through the lungs, causing

chemical changes in the blood,

overloading the heart until...pop!

The foam on Edie's mouth and in her lungs is consistent with death this way.

No foam on Josh.

So he was dead before he hit the water?

There are signs of blunt trauma to the back of the ribs,

with underlying haemorrhage, and internal injuries consistent with...a significant impact.

What could have caused the trauma?

What am I supposed to be, psychic? Give me some options at least.

OK, the bumper of a 4x4?

Yeah, that'd do it.

Thank you, Dr Lafferty.

So we're looking for traces of blood and paint now.

Much obliged for all your

help with this, Tom, but I think

we can take it from here.

There may be aspects of this case you're missing. I'm sure there are, Tom.

It's Tommy.

All right?

Look, Harcourt-Baines, the local

landowner, he drives a 4x4.

There are his tracks all over the crime scene leading to his house.

He owns the land. There are gonna be traces of him all over the shop.

Josh and Edie,

right, they were trying to stop him from building a country club right on the lakeside.

They claimed it was public land.

Well, the land dispute gives Harcourt-Baines motive.

And have you any evidence for this?

Yeah, it was all over the local papers. Oh.

We're gonna need a search warrant, pronto. Glad you see the logic. For Tim Sumner.

Look, it must be worth following this lead.

It's not a LEAD. It's a dead end.

The paint on the bumper of Tim Sumner's car matches the rammed hatchback.

He found out about the affair and he lost his temper!

He's now our prime suspect.

The obvious choice isn't always the right one.

Tommy, I'd like to remind you that you're currently suspended from duty.

I'll see you in the car, Barbara.

I thought I said background checks only. I see what you mean. She doesn't listen, does she?

That reminds me of another detective I know.

I could do some more digging. Are you kidding?

She'll go spare if she catches me briefing you again.

When did the disapproval of a senior officer trouble you? Don't think about it.

Look, look, I'll be more careful this time.

What have you got to lose? Havers, please.

Josh and Edie went to a rehab clinic called the Trust. I know that name.

I called the Land Registry to see if Harcourt-Baines does own the land.

What?

Which he does. But two months ago he signed over half of it to this

organisation called the Trust.

About two months ago...they stopped going. And Edie planned to leave the country.

Where is this clinic?

He is very experienced and will help you as much as he can.

Yeah, thanks. OK? Thanks, Eileen. Talk later.

Hello. Eileen Edwards.

Thomas Lynley. I called earlier.

I'm booked on one of your two-day rehabilitation courses. Of course.

We don't call it rehabilitation.

We call it self-realisation. Right.

Let me show you to your room. Matthew, can I have the key?

There's a visualisation class in the Octagon Room after dinner

which you're very welcome to join.

Maybe you'd like to wait till after our one-to-one tomorrow?

I might just do that. I've never

been to one of these places before.

Oh, well, there's nothing to worry about, I promise you.

And feel free to use our other facilities while you're here.

OK. Come on. This way.

Well, how is he? Holding up. Considering.

So he's fit to be interviewed?

Well, there's no physical injuries, but he's very withdrawn.

Well, let's see what we can do about that. You work on Matt and I'll soften him up.

Right.

What'll happen to the girl?

Oh, Millie? The grandparents are the next of kin. They'll probably look after her.

To lose both parents like that.

It's terrible.

Er, how well do you know Tim?

Fairly.

I must say, I find it hard to believe. He is a good father.

Oh, well I see it all the time.

And yet you seem to keep that nice smile.

Er... Um, look, um, thank you for all your help, Dr Wilson.

I hope we won't be bothering you again.

Settling in? D'you have everything you need?

Everyone's been very welcoming.

So what brings you here, Tommy?

Oh, I don't know. I thought it was probably time to stop and take stock of my life a bit. You know?

Are you married?

There's some hesitation there.

Well, um...we've been going through some difficulties of late.

Is that why you're here?

Don't be afraid to talk about personal problems.

Whatever's going on in your life, this is the right place to deal with it.

That's very reassuring.

How did you hear about us? It's very unusual to have

such a late referral.

A...a, a friend of a friend recommended you to me, so...

Really? Who? Where is she?

What's going on?

I've been calling and calling.

Why are you ignoring me?

Have you been drinking again?

Have you heard? They've found another body in the lake. Calm down.

How can I? There are police crawling all over my land.

Let's talk about this in private, shall we? Come on.

How was your love life with Edie?

Remember that NOT answering questions can be mentioned in court.

At this point the suspect shook his head. I'll rephrase the question.

Did you and Edie have regular sex?

I don't see what that's got to do with anything.

Edie was murdered with her lover. We have forensic evidence that they had intercourse that night.

At this point, the suspect shrugged. Do we need this commentary?

Yeah, for the tape.

Yes, we had sex.

I loved her. What more do you need to know?

And you had no idea that Edie had started a sexual

relationship with Josh?

No.

Why did you run away?

Why d'you think? Hmm?

I was beaten up. My mate's killed. Not hard to see a pattern, is it?

So, who beat you up?

You're the sleuth...

You tell me. Was it Tim Sumner?

Edie's old man? We mistook you for Josh. Maybe he did, too.

So you knew Josh was seeing Edie?

What have I said?! You knew they were having an affair.

No. Just that they met regularly.

You didn't notice any changes in her behaviour when she met Josh again?

I didn't say that.

I noticed that she... she laughed more.

She slept less.

The spark was back in her eyes.

And why do you think that was?

Well, she had something to get up for. She had passion in her life.

You mean Josh? No. I mean the campaign to save the wetlands.

They were working on it together. Oh, don't tell me that you weren't jealous of them. Wrong.

You've got it so wrong. I was happy.

You expect me to believe you didn't mind her spending so

much time with an ex-boyfriend?

One of the detectives virtually accused me of murdering them both.

Why would they say that? You're not driving home in that condition.

What did you tell them? Nothing.

I can't take much more of this. Two people are dead, Eileen. It's all out of control.

No, Owen, you're out of control.

If you'd done your job properly

and got the deeds back...

We looked EVERYWHERE!

You didn't look everywhere because you didn't find anything. We were disturbed.

If any of this comes out, you're on your own.

About two months ago, did you notice any change in Josh's behaviour?

Yeah. Yeah, he was happy.

He'd found something that'd

scupper Harcourt-Baines's plans.

What was it?

He said he had some documents or something, but he wouldn't show 'em to us.

Have you got them? No.

Well, do you know where Josh might have kept them? They weren't on his body.

Pretty sure he'd have hid 'em in the house somewhere.

Two months ago, Edie wrote something in her diary. Eleuthera.

It's a small island off the Bahamas.

I know what it is.

Sounds to me like she was planning to run away.

Well, just shows what you know.

Don't try and play cocky with me, I own the copyright.

It's also Ancient Greek.

My Ancient Greek's a little bit rusty. Illuminate me. Greek for "freedom".

So?

Edie felt trapped here.

Eleuthera's the name of a lighthouse near the power station where she'd

go when she wanted to be alone.

Everything all right?

Yes.

Fine. I was looking for that visualisation class you mentioned earlier.

It's upstairs in the Octagon Room. Of course, you said.

Tommy?

I trust and respect my guests and I expect them to treat me

the same way.

Of course.

I suggest my client needs a break.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Er, can I have a word? OK. Five minutes.

Interview suspended at 18:14.

I'm getting nowhere. What about Matt?

He's no killer. But he said Josh found something at the Trust and hid it in his house.

That doesn't give us much to go on.

Well, I think we should check it out.

I don't have time to run around looking for buried treasure.

Matt's having you on. He'd say anything to get out of here. No, it's more than that.

The Trust keeps coming up. There's something in this,

I've got a feeling.

Funny feelings may have been enough for your last DI, but I prefer facts.

Forensics have given us enough to charge Tim. I think we should go for it.

Mr Sumner,

you knew Edie was going to leave you and take your daughter away.

You followed her to her rendezvous with her lover. You saw them,

and then, in a jealous rage, you rammed her car into the lake and ran over her lover.

No. No, no, no.

We have forensic evidence matching paint from the front bumper of your car to Edie's hatchback.

We have sufficient evidence to charge you with the murders of Edie Covington and Joshua Holcombe.

It's me. Um, listen,

I checked into the Trust yesterday.

Um, well, anyway, Harcourt-Baines turned up last night and he's only just leaving.

You're right, there's definitely

something strange going on. I'll call you later.

We have a strict policy here. No contact with the outside world.

Why's that?

This is a retreat...from the hassle of everyday life. A sanctuary.

Of course. Sorry.

That's all right, don't apologise.

Come on, our session was meant to start five minutes ago.

Right.

This has been a disaster. I don't

understand. He was granted bail?! What about the paint?

As his brief pointed out, he knocked Edie's hatchback a couple of months ago.

The insurance claim proves it.

But what really swung it was the magistrate had been informed we were

actively pursuing other leads.

He had a complaint from a

landowner, Owen Harcourt-Baines.

Something about intrusive policing from an Inspector Linton.

Ring any bells?

Well, I'm sure it must have been some kind of misunderstanding. "Monumental cock-up" springs readily to mind.

If your old boss has blown this case, I'm gonna have to go upstairs.

But we do have other leads. As you keep saying.

But this time I've got evidence.

According to the Land Registry, Owen Harcourt-Baines

signed over the deeds of the lakeside land to the Trust.

So? Well, Matt said that Josh and

Edie stole something from there.

And there's a lot of money in this land deal. I think

it could be a motive for murder.

What's the camera for? Things come out in these sessions.

Sometimes it's good to have a record. Do you ever use it again?

Only to talk about any issues that arise.

It's all right.

Anything that comes out here is strictly confidential.

Then why do you need to put it on tape?

I'm sensing a little hostility here.

No, not at all. I just, um,

I just like to know what's going on, that's all.

So it's about control?

Josh thought they'd caught him stealing it on camera.

He knew they'd come after him.

You'd better not be stringing me

a line, Matt. I'm not. Straight up.

Now, I want you to imagine you're in a lift.

And you're on the tenth floor.

Now you're going to press the button, and as you go down floor by floor, you'll feel more relaxed.

There's an offence called wasting police time. You know that? Yeah.

Yeah, I know where it is.

Well, this had better be good.

You're passing the ninth floor now...

and you're more relaxed.

You're passing the eighth floor now, and you feel more relaxed.

And now you're on the ground floor and you feel totally relaxed.

Are you all right? Mmm-hmm.

Shall we talk about your wife now? What's her name?

Helen.

You mentioned you've been having

problems. I was wondering

if your need to control and emotional unavailability caused your wife to leave you?

She DIDN'T leave me.

She...did leave me.

Do you think you pushed her away?

No.

Maybe.

Maybe I did a little.

But you think Helen should share the blame?

Well, hang on. I mean, surely...in, in the breakdown of any relationship,

both sides are at fault. Usually, but we're not talking about who is to blame.

We're talking about the anger you feel towards Helen for the break-up of the marriage.

I don't think I have any... anger...towards Helen.

Did you have an affair?

I'm sorry? Did you have an affair?

Look, er,

I, I've got to go. I'm sorry. Thank you very much.

I've got to go.

You were just getting somewhere. I think you're making a mistake.

This isn't for me.

You've hardly given it a chance.

I think I have. Really, I'm fine.

To get the best effect, you

have to finish the whole course.

I disagree. You've helped me so much already.

Told you.

Barbara.

We've got something.

Thanks for coming, Havers. OK, what's going on? What did you find out?

Like I said, Harcourt-Baines stayed the night there. I think he's having a nervous breakdown.

Well, Knight's turned up the deeds at Matt's house. And?

There's a rider that proves that one of Owen Harcourt-Baines's ancestors

willed the land to the village.

Looks like it was common land after all.

What I don't get is why Josh and Edie didn't go public. They could have stopped the building works.

Maybe Eileen had something on them. What like? I don't know, but they

film the therapy sessions.

Er, I saw a whole lot of stuff in one of the drawers in her office,

including something on Edie.

You think there could be something useful in it? It's worth a look, isn't it? OK, I'll get on to Knight.

Um, we need a warrant. And you...better make yourself scarce.

They filmed my therapy session, too.

You've gotta be kidding.

Um, don't worry, I'll sort it. Thanks.

It'll be worth a few quid down the station.

What did they do to you in there?

See you. See you.

I'm sorry, madam, but you can't go in there without an appointment. >

I'm Detective Sergeant Havers. I'm investigating the deaths of

Edie Covington and Joshua Holcombe.

Sorry, Eileen. That's all right.

Yes, terribly tragic.

Two young, vulnerable people.

Er, they were both recent inmates here, yeah?

We don't call our visitors "inmates".

We call our visitors "guests".

..it's about building up confidence...

D'you know Owen Harcourt-Baines?

Of course. He's a great supporter of the Trust.

He's also a fellow investor of an expensive lakeside development.

Do you have a warrant or some other reason to be here?

Do you deny that you're involved in the lakeside development?

No. We have a minor interest.

There's the, um, sustainability of our project to think of.

I suppose every fraudster says the same thing.

That's defamatory.

I haven't even started yet.

Right, let's get moving.

Edie and Josh protested against the development. They attended here then met with a premature death.

I think I'm going to have to call my lawyer.

I'll need to check your security camera tapes and the corporate accounts. Don't you need a warrant?

Shall we get started?

Hi.

I, I thought we could have that dinner...now.

You know you can get these wonderful devices called mobile phones.

They allow you to call from anywhere.

Is it a problem?

Depends what you've got in mind.

Come with me.

You'd better have a good reason for this intrusion. Oh, I'm sure

we'll find something.

Can you open this?

Taping personal therapy sessions. That must be against every rule in the book.

These are riders from 1589,

ceding the lakeside land to the people of Statham.

What does that prove?

Owen can't build on the land.

So that makes you party to the deception.

No, I'm a victim of deception. I'm just an investor. I don't know anything about this.

I bet you don't(!) These documents were found in Joshua Holcombe's house.

And still you say you know nothing about the deaths of Josh and Edie.

So now you're accusing me of murder.

No. I'm asking you what you were doing two nights ago at 11pm.

Um, two nights ago at 11pm...

I was running a trust and motivation session.

I think we kept going till about 2am.

And how many people were you "trusting" and "motivating"?

I think about 20.

I have their names and addresses.

Was Owen Harcourt-Baines at this seminar?

We're just business partners. I can't account for his actions.

He's a...he's a very troubled man.

SIRENS WAIL

The roads are clogged. Transport system's a bit dodgy.

It's noisy, smelly.

It's basically a...

a sprawling, rusty, chaotic mess,

but I do love it.

Talking of sprawling, chaotic, rusty messes, are you still driving the Bristol?

Oh! Helen, there are certain things you cannot say to a...

That car is a slice of history.

So was the plague, Tommy.

Right, car's off limits.

You mean it's beyond a joke?

Yeah, exactly. ..No! Ooh.

Why don't you have some chips with your ketchup?

It's the only way to eat them. Anyway, I offered to cook.

Yeah. Yeah, thanks(!) Yeah, I've sampled your culinary delights.

Oh, you've nothing to fear. I have now mastered the microwave.

You found the "on" switch(?) Oh. Very good, that's the way.

I missed your laugh.

There are so many things I've missed about you.

Helen... That's Professor Lynley to you.

You got it? I think it must have been a very difficult decision

for the committee,

but I'm happy to report that common sense did prevail.

Congratulations! That's fantastic!

Yeah...the perfect excuse to open another bottle.

Perfect excuse to kiss me,

I think you mean.

So everyone involved with the development has got an alibi for the night of the murder.

Yeah, all except one - Owen Harcourt-Baines. Mmm. He'd the most to lose.

He borrowed massively while signing over the land.

He's probably behind the attack on Matt and vandalising the cottage.

Well, we can't rule out a conspiracy by the Trust, to silence Josh and Edie.

We might find something on those DVDs.

Yeah. Yeah, but look at the murders.

They're too disordered. Too full of anger.

More like crimes of passion.

Or done by someone who drinks too much.

Looks like I owe Lynley an apology. How annoying's that?

Strange.

Well, his car's here.

Maybe the Trust tipped him off.

DOGS BARK

Oh!

Oh, no! Ooh!

What's the matter?

Great timing(!) Oh. Look, er, have

you got the number of your midwife?

Oh, it's no use. She's miles away.

Oh! Go on!

Are you sure? Yes.

Don't do anything heroic, Barbara. Think of the paperwork.

'..Which service do you require?' ..Ambulance.

DOG BARKS

Hello, my name is Fiona Knight. I'm 33 weeks' pregnant,

but I think the little blighter wants to come out now.

WATER DRIPS

CLICK!

A FOX SCREAMS

He lost a lot of blood - we got to him in time. Have you interviewed him?

No. He's still drowsy on sedatives.

We'll get some sense out of him when he wakes up.

I admit...

I forged the deeds.

And I even sent some men to...

beat Josh up,

but I didn't kill anyone.

You had motive. You wanted Josh and Edie out of the way.

Why would I kill them?

Your investigation ruined everything.

It delayed the start of the building.

He's got a point.

It wouldn't be in his interests.

Yeah, but we all do things in the heat of the moment, don't we?

So how's your boss?

I'm fine. My blood pressure was a bit high and they were worried I may have pre-eclampsia.

But a scan shows that my placenta's a bit loose, so I need to take plenty of bed rest.

What have you got here? Um, on one of the DVDs that we found at the

Trust,

we found a session with Edie. It was recorded two months ago.

EDIE CRIES

'You can talk to me, Edie.'

I don't want to.

'This is a safe place.

'You've nothing to be scared of.

'I can help you.

'What are you scared of?'

I just found out that...

I'm such a mess.

What's a mess?

I just found out that...Tim isn't Millie's father.

I wondered for years, but...

He made me take a test.

Tim made you?

Tim doesn't know anything about it.

Millie's real father...

EDIE SOBS

It's OK, Edie.

The real father wants Millie back.

What am I gonna do?

You've faced your fear,

now we can work through this.

Looks like I was right about Tim

Sumner all along. How's that? Motive.

Tim was fairly relaxed about Edie's infidelity, but fanatically possessive about his daughter.

If he'd found out he wasn't her real father...

No, he's been straight with us all along.

Sorry, I think we're missing something else. What about the real father?

Edie said he'd just come back on the scene.

Back from away somewhere? I don't know. Just in her life. Maybe the real father killed Edie.

Find the real father, find the killer. You two are a double act, aren't you?

Right. Er, what, what are you doing?

Well, we'll need a DNA sample from Millie to check against Josh to rule him out as the real father.

Well, no. Er, Inspector Knight...

Fiona - you heard what the doctor said. You need your rest.

Barbara, looks like I'm out of the picture for a while, which makes you

acting DI.

It's up to you to organise your team.

I'll go to the grandparents.

Get Millie, and get a DNA test done.

What do I do? Ah...talk to Tim Sumner.

Tell him he might not be Millie's real father.

Oh...thanks(!)

You wanted to be part of this investigation, and I am DI remember.

Yes, Ma'am.

I know this must come as a shock. She

didn't tell me - never breathed a word.

Now, five years ago, before Millie was born, do you know if Edie was seeing anyone else?

Oh, lads were all after Edie. She always had plenty of boyfriends.

What about Josh? That was a lot earlier. Yeah, but could they have met up then?

I think he'd gone travelling. Look, what does it matter?

I mean, Tim raised her and Tim loves her. That's all that matters.

Well, finding Millie's biological father may lead to Edie's killer.

Why are you doing this? Please, sit down.

Millie's all I've got now. Sir, sit down.

I need to ask you some more questions about Edie. I've lost her.

And now you want to take my daughter away as well. I know how hard this must be for you.

I have nothing left.

Nothing in the world.

I'm sorry...

..but I do need to ask you if you have any idea who Millie's father could be.

A standard DNA test could take a

couple of days. Our labs will speed things up.

We'll just be across the corridor. All I need is a mouth swab.

Come on, Millie. Go on, Millie, I'll be right here.

Won't be long.

Eleuthera?

That was in Edie's diary.

What's it doing on Simon's mantelpiece?

I'm gonna check on Millie.

Millie!

Sir, we've got a problem.

What? I'll ask, he's right here.

What's Eleuthera? A place you went to with Edie?

What's this about? Please tell me what Eleuthera is. Something's happened. Is Millie OK?

She's disappeared... with Simon

Wilson. Well, I'll take you. Havers!

One, two, three,

four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten...

Simon was a friend. How could he?

I don't know. If he touches Millie. I'm sure he wouldn't hurt her. He's

murdered two people.

..18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23...

You got back-up? Another 20 minutes.

Millie!

Millie!

I am not good with heights. Don't worry, I'm here. Don't push anyone

over.

I wonder if they... There it is!

Millie!

Tim, I need you to stay calm.

Millie.

Millie?

What are you doing, Millie?

Look, Daddy, I can see the sea.

Uncle Simon said Mummy liked it here.

What have you said to her? Stay back.

Simon. I said stay back! ..And you.

You killed her, didn't you? You killed Edie.

She was going to take Millie.

I warned her.

She knew I was the real father. She was gonna run off with her. So you stopped them.

I followed her to the lake that night.

I'd been calling her but, for days, but she wouldn't speak to me.

And then when I saw them together, I realised.

She was never going to...listen.

She had no intention...of letting me get to know my little girl.

And with her out of the way, then...

..I could get to know Millie...be her dad. I'm her dad.

SIREN

Millie, come here. Any closer - we're going over.

OK. I won't come closer. I wanna get down.

Simon, we can talk about this. What's there to talk about?

Look, I don't care what you've done,

but if you're Millie's real father, you wouldn't want to hurt her.

Please, let her go.

MILLIE CRIES

You're not having her back.

You... Daddy, I'm scared. ..with your perfect partner,

your perfect child, your perfect life.

You didn't even realise.

I couldn't bear it. Simon, let her go. I wanna get down. It's too late.

No.

OK. Take her down.

Get an ambulance.

I should have stopped him. He should be in custody.

There was nothing could be done for Wilson.

Come on, you saved Millie.

Inspector Lynley is a good officer.

He was protecting a woman from a murderer.

Two innocent lives were in imminent danger.

Well, he, he was just trying to make sure they came to no harm.

So you maintain it was reasonable force?

Inspector Lynley saved the life of a mother and her unborn child.

The suspect came away with no injuries.

I would say that was reasonable.

Do you think he was in control?

They want to see you now. What did you say to them?

Er, the truth.

Whatever happens, Havers, I couldn't have a better colleague...

or friend.

I'll never forget this.

Helen. Hi. How is he?

Um, he's only just gone in.

What d'you think will happen?

I, er, don't suppose you fancy a coffee or something?

Er, yeah. Good.

Exceptional powers are granted to officers of the law.

These powers do not include unreasonable force,

intimidation or violence.

We are not passing a judgement of guilt on your actions,

but deciding if you're a fit person to hold that position.

Do you understand that?

I do. Yes.

So, how are things? Oh, you mean between me and Tommy?

Well, are you both...?

It seems to be going well.

I think we're both happy.

I'm cleared.

Marvellous, Tommy. Good.

SHE LAUGHS

Well, done. Thanks.

Look, , um, I'm gonna get off. Er, I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

Shall we go back to your flat? I don't mind, darling. I could cook.
