If I want a career in fashion,
London's where I need to be.

"You are invited
to attend an interview

"for the position
of assistant dresser

"for Her Royal Highness
The Duchess of York."

This is Jane Andrews, Ma'am.

Did you find it too grim,
"oop north"?

Think I'd be better suited
to a palace.

It's the way she said it.

"I've run you a bath, Ma'am."
LAUGHTER

Just look at her shoes!

I'm just not
really feeling good, Mum.

SOBBING

Please don't go
starting all that again.

It's a chance to start afresh.

Well, what would you suggest?

Perhaps something more fitted,
more vibrant colour?

You're a lot like me, Jane.
You've got spirit.

Whoo!
Could I possibly interest you
in a night-cap?

He doesn't see
the point of getting involved

unless it's going somewhere.

I very much fear THAT has divorce
written all over it.

Cos a life without passion?
Well, that's no life at all.

Her Majesty says I'm to cease
all contact immediately.

It'll just be you and me, Jane.
Assuming you'll stand by me?

Always, Ma'am.

It's only a job after all.

You could find something
a bit less all-consuming.

I don't want an ordinary life!

As from now,
we're treating Jane Andrews

as the prime suspect
in this investigation.

Oh, Jane.
However did it come to this?

# Baby, don't hurt me

# Don't hurt me no more

# What is love?

# Yeah, yeah

# Baby, don't hurt me... #

Oh, my dear. Come, come.
Quickly, quickly.

# No more

# What is love? #

I kept telling them
it wasn't what it looked like.

It was just a bit of harmless fun.
He was being Prince Charming.

The... shoe fits, and all that.

Of course.

Every single headline is about John
and bloody toe-sucking.

It's been relentless.

Put it out of your mind.
It will soon be forgotten.

And so will this man.

He's not for you.
Is that right?

Yes, well, it does seem
to have reached a natural end.

It is as I said.
He has served his purposes.

Well, that's good to know,
isn't it, Jane?

SARAH GRUNTS
Yes, Ma'am.

So, you can tell all that
from the cards?

From the cards,
the energies in the room.

The messages come
in many different ways.

She's never wrong.
You should ask her something.

Oh, I wouldn't want to.

You have a question? Ask it.

I just... wonder if there could...

be someone out there.

Someone who really is
my perfect match.

Uh-oh.
But you've already got a husband.

You seek a soulmate?

I just imagined
being with someone who...

wants the same things,

you know, shares the same dreams.

Give your hands.

I feel a strong presence.

A male presence.

Very virile.
Lucky thing.

I see wine, candles...

I see where this is going.

This man will bring great passion
into your life.

He will open up new worlds.

But once you meet him,
there'll be no going back.

Thought you already had
your happy ever after.

REPORTERS CLAMOUR
Sarah! Sarah, tell us.

What'd your fortune say?
That's for me to know.

Another tall dark stranger
on the horizon?

If there is,
he's coming for my friend here.

Still enjoying single life, Ma'am?

Oh, yes, it's wonderful.
Thanks for asking.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

REPORTERS CLAMOUR

Jane.

REPORTER:
Sarah, tell us!

REPORTER:
Sarah, what happened
to your friend from the villa?

DCI DOUGLAS: Now, that photo's
got to be ten years old.

God knows where they found it.

But now they've linked her
to the Royals,

they'll be crawling all over us.

It'll be yours truly
having to deal with them.

DS SMART:
Sir?

We're on the Six O'Clock News.

NEWSREADER:
'..the search continues
for his girlfriend, Jane Andrews,

'former employee and close personal
confidante of the Duchess of York,

'who is understood to be deeply
distressed by her disappearance.

'The police are appealing
for information on her whereabouts,

'and the big question right now is,

'where in the world
is Jane Andrews?'

JANE: So sorry Sarah couldn't be
here to discuss the gala herself.

ALEKSANDRA:
Oh, I understand.

She just has so much to deal with,

what with the separation
and the house move.

I'm sure.
So has she ANY servants left?

Literally a handful. I mean...
Romenda Lodge is hardly the Palace.

We've been having to scrape by
on an absolute skeleton staff.

We've really had
to tighten our belts all round.

So no more lovely shopping trips
on Concorde?

Not just at the moment.

It's been quite an adjustment.
Mm.

But between you and me...
Mm?

Basically running
the whole show now.

Well, well done you.

And you said your husband's
working there too?

Yes. Er, Sarah needed someone
with financial expertise,

and Charles was looking
for a change, so...

How lovely for you both,
to be working together as a team.

Must be such fun.

For God's sake, Charles.

It's basic book-keeping.
Get on with it.

How am I supposed to get on with it

when she doesn't keep
any bloody receipts?

I don't know.
Just do the best that you can.

This isn't what I signed up for,
Janey. I don't...

We were meant to sit down together
and make a proper financial plan.

Well, it looks like
this publishing deal may go ahead.

Dear God.
Not more helicopter stories.

No, actually. It's a biographical
working of Queen Victoria's travels.

I'm sure
that'll be a massive earner (!)

SARAH:
Jane? Jane, are you there?
I can't talk about this now.

Well, if she's going out for lunch,
tell her to keep the receipt.

It'll write itself.
All right, all right. That works.

Jane?! Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

So, the plan is we leave on Friday
for Germany,

and I shall follow
in Victoria's footsteps.

A sort of spiritual pilgrimage.
Oh, Ma'am, that's so exciting.

I know, so you'd better
start packing.
Of course.

And you can tell
that penny-pinching husband of yours

that I'll need
to release some funds.
Yes, Ma'am.

And I don't care
how "unwise" he thinks it is.

No, Ma'am.
Testing times call for bold actions!

Absolutely, Ma'am.

How long will you be gone for?

Erm...
Here, here.

JANE SIGHS
I imagine it'll be at least a month.

It may be longer. They're still
finalising the itinerary.

No doubt you'll both be living it up
all over Europe.

Oh, for goodness sake.

This jealousy
is getting really boring, you know?

No, it's not about that.
Yeah, right.

I just think this type
of stress and disruption,

it really isn't good for you.

What happens if you start
feeling unwell again?
I won't.

Well, I hope not, but we talked
about maybe going to see someone.

Er, no, you talked about that.

Well, I just think
if the doctor could give you

something for your nerves...

There is nothing wrong
with my bloody nerves.

Janey, you know that's not true.

The only thing wrong
with my life is you.

You're the one who makes me ill.
You're the one who ruins everything.

It's like you'd rather my whole life
be as dull and as drab as you are.

It's like I can't fucking breathe!

I-I'm not gonna fight with you.
No, of course not.

God forbid,
you'd have an actual emotion

or show some kind
of fucking passion.

This isn't passion, Jane.

How would you know?
You're like a fucking block of wood!

It's not passion.
It's just never-ending drama.

If you're not screaming,
you're sobbing,

or you're lying in the dark,
practically bloody catatonic,

and I just... I just can't
take much more of it.

Fine, then go! Leave.
Go on, go and pack your things.

If I'm that much of a fucking
nightmare, why are you with me?

But I think the trouble is,
you don't want to be with me.

SHE GROANS
I hate you!

How many?

SMART:
307 calls
from the public so far.

96 of them reported sightings
of Jane in the last 48 hours.

Jesus. Any of them credible?

There seems to be a cluster
on the south coast.
Yeah?

But there's also about 20
up near St Andrews.

Well, that narrows it down a bit.

KNOCKING
PC MCGUIRE:
Sir.

Are they the latest
witness statements?
Oh, no, Sir.

I think the team's still
putting them into the computer.

So much for "speedier access
to information", eh?

Yes, Sir.

There's a guy waiting
to speak to you.

What "guy"?

He says he has information
about Jane Andrews.

Terrific. So the nutjobs
are now turning up in person.

Desk Sergeant thought he seemed
pretty credible.

I'm sure. Probably saw her
having tea with... Prince of Wales.

CHARLES:
I-I didn't even know
there was a problem

until I got a call
from the Evening Standard.

DOUGLAS: Unfortunately, there has
been a lot of, er, press interest.

The reporter assumed
I knew what had happened.

And he just said
you were looking for Jane.

Then I... Oh...
CHARLES SIGHS

I learned there was a body involved.

As soon as I finished work,
I came straight here.

Well, we appreciate
you coming down, sir.

I just hadn't paid much attention,
you see?

I mean, Janey, she...
CHARLES CHUCKLES

She... She does tend
to be rather dramatic.
Right.

Although, with hindsight, I suppose
she did sound quite distressed.

So you've spoken to her?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Several times.

I mean,
I'll need to check exactly.

But I-I think
she must have contacted me...

er, nine or ten times
over the weekend.

Right, so these were all
phone conversations?
Er, no, no.

Some... some were calls,
some text messages.

So what exactly did she say?

It's hard to remember exactly,
but she was...

mainly talking about relationships

and how they never seemed to go

in the direction
that she wanted them to.

The general impression I got
was there'd been some sort of row.

Did she tell you where she was?
No. No.

I did ask. She wouldn't say.

I could tell she was in a car.

PHONE RINGS
Sorry.

Good God.

Is it Jane?
Yeah.

Yeah, it, erm...

It says...

"What's wrong?
All the press want me."

ALEKSANDRA:
We are delighted
to announce

she'll be donating a percentage
of the proceeds

from her book
Travels With Queen Victoria

to our beloved charity.

And now to say a few words,

the authoress herself,
Sarah, Duchess of York.

APPLAUSE
Are we good?

Here goes nothing.

Hello, everyone.

I really appreciate so many of you
turning out

to welcome my little book
into the world.

I, er... I say "little",

but as you can see,
it is rather hefty.

LAUGHTER

No, but seriously...

Victoria has been a passion of mine
since I was a girl,

and to have the chance
to literally follow in her footsteps

and journey back through time
has been a...

a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The chap with the glasses.
That's the Italian gentleman?

It felt as though the spirit...
The Count.

..of Victoria herself
was leading me...

He's an absolute sweetheart.
..through the mountains.

But I was also fortunate
to meet many wonderful people

on a more earthly plain.

CROWD MURMURS

The Duchess seems rather taken
with him.

We all became fast friends.

And to have the support
of a marvellous team -

not least my indefatigable
assistant, Jane Andrews.

SCATTERED APPLAUSE
Yes, yes, let's.

I think it's fair to say

both Jane and I were at something
of a crossroads in our lives,

and this project came
at the perfect time.

So thank you, Jane.

Victoria and I
couldn't have done it without you.

LAUGHTER

Let's have some Champagne!

MURMURS OF AGREEMENT,
APPLAUSE

Brava. Bravissima!

They look to be a little more
than friends.

Well, the Count
is a very charming companion.

What about you?

Now that
you're a desirable divorcee.

Did you find yourself any companions
on your travels?

Well, European men
can be very attentive

and very persuasive.

Aren't you the lucky girl?

I, erm...

HE MOUTHS

Who's that?

Luis Castillo.
Tall, dark and very charming.

Stepfather's in shipping,
mother does all the charities.

Luis, darling.
Aleksandra.

May I please introduce Jane Andrews?
She works with the Duchess.

Well, how do you do?
I'm surprised you two haven't met.

It's an oversight
I'm delighted to remedy.

Aleksandra tells me
you're in shipping?

Oh, amongst other things.

A man of many talents.
HE CHUCKLES

Oh, you have something...

Lovely suit. Very gorgeous fabric.

Thank you.

Might I fetch you a glass of wine,
Miss Andrews?

That would be lovely.

All right.
Please... call me Jane.

Jane.

Well, clearly, she'd learned
a few tricks on her travels.

BIRDS CHIRP

HE GROANS
Oh.

Mm. It's time to get up, my love.

Not yet, it's still early.

Yes, but you need to go home...

and change before work.

Sarah won't mind
if I'm a little late.

She says I work too hard as it is.

You have a most understanding boss.

Mm, she's more of a friend, really.

She always asks about you.
She does?

Mm. She thinks you sound lovely.

Mm, well... I really am.

SHE GIGGLES

You should meet her
properly sometime.
Mm-hm.

All right. Five more minutes, then.

HE SIGHS HEAVILY

You know, I wouldn't always need to
go home if I had some clothes here.

Ah, you mean the drawer that
you ladies are always so keen on.

Well, I wouldn't need
a whole drawer.

Maybe just a tiny little corner
of a wardrobe.
Right.

But where would I put
all my beautiful suits?

They are very beautiful.

It's one of the first things
that I noticed about you.

Well, wait till you see
my new dinner jacket.

I won't have to wait long.

The gala next week?

I'm sorry, my love.
Next week, I shall be in Greece.

Really?
Yes.

You didn't mention it.

Oh, it's been arranged
for some time.

I'm visiting some old friends.

That sounds like a fun trip.
It should be.

Do you know
what would make it even more fun?

Oh! Good morning, Ma'am.

Morning.

Shall I make some coffee?
Claudia's fetching some.

Oh, excellent.

Luis opened a very nice
bottle of wine last night,

and I have to admit
I am suffering a bit this morning.

While I've got you, Ma'am,

I'm going to have to take
a few days' leave next week.

Luis has a trip to the Greek
islands, and he'd like me to go.

Next week?
We've got the gala on Thursday.

I know. There's just
a few last bits to arrange,

so I'll have everything done
before I go.

FABRIZIO:
Amore, are you ready?
Oh, just a moment, Fabs.

Well, you'd better make sure
that Claudia's across everything,

you know, assuming
she doesn't mind picking up slack.

Oh, no, not at all, Ma'am.

There won't be any slack, Ma'am.
I promise.

I really didn't think you'd mind.

I thought you'd be pleased
I was having a break.

I was just saying
to Luis this morning,

Sarah always says I work too hard.

I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness.

Well, I'm sure
Claudia and I shall manage.

You enjoy your holiday.

Shall we go?
Andiamo.

I mean, I haven't had a day off
in nearly two years.

It's not like
I'm being unreasonable, is it?

No. No, not at all.
CLATTERING

Yeah, sorry about all this.

I just need to have everything
labelled and couriered

before we leave.

I mean, it's all very well
saying I should leave it to Claudia,

but the fact is, she wouldn't
even know where to begin!

And then she starts piping up
about "picking up the slack".

Like she would have a clue
about what needs doing.

Er...

Jane. Jane, darling.
Uh-huh?

If it's gonna cause difficulties,
then, well...

perhaps you shouldn't come.
What?

Well...
No, no, it's fine. I'm nearly done.

Once I've finished, I won't give
bloody Claudia another thought.

I promise.
Right.

The list I gave her
was perfectly clear,

but maybe I should call her
just to check.

You already left two messages.

I know, but Claudia doesn't
always check the machine.

And she needs to go
through the diary tonight.

The Duchess needs to know
what to expect.

Well, you're only away
for a few days.

I'm sure it'll all be fine.
You say that.

You have no idea
how much can go wrong in a few days.

MAN:
Yamas!
Yamas!

GLASSES CLINK

LIVELY CHATTER

Did you, er... Did you want dessert?

No. I don't think so.

Why don't you have a siesta?
Back at the villa? Try and relax.

Yeah, OK. Sounds good.

I'll ask Christos
to order you a taxi.

You're not coming too?

No, I'm gonna have a few drinks
with the boys.

I'll see you back there.

Every year, they let you back.
LAUGHTER

SHE SIGHS

ENGINE DRONES
IN DISTANCE

Hi, darling.
Where have you been?

I told you,
I was catching up with the boys.

It's been hours.
HE SCOFFS

Not really. It's only seven o'clock.

Well, you could've called me.
I've been sat there waiting.

I mean, why even invite me
if you don't want to be with me?

I didn't... invite you.

What do you mean?

Well, the truth is,
is that you invited yourself.

I was perfectly happy
coming here alone.

And if I want to spend time
with my friends,

then that's what I'll do.

I'm sorry. You said you wanted
to show me the island.

You wanted me to meet your friends,
because we're a couple.

That is what couples do.
OK, Jane, look...

HE EXHALES SHARPLY

I've very much enjoyed
our time together, but we're...

we're very different people.
What?

And I-I just... I think...

I think we would be better
as friends.

We're on holiday. We're in love.

Yeah, OK, well, I'm very fond of you
as well, but...

No. No, please, you don't mean it.
Jane...

Jane.
We're happy together.

Jane.
We're happy, for God's sake!

Yes, but it's not working
for me any more!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It would be better
if we just make a clean break.

No. No, no, no...
Jane, Jane...

Jane, stop it. Jane, stop it!
No, no...

Jane, stop THAT!

HE GRUNTS
What is wrong with you?!

HE SIGHS
This is completely unacceptable.

DOOR OPENS

LUIS:
Genevieve?
GENEVIEVE:
Coming, darling. Sorry!

I wasn't sure about the pink.
Oh, you look fabulous.

Thank you, darling.

I haven't made us late, have I?
Not at all. We are right on time.

Here, let me get that for you.

Thank you.
Did you remember the wine?

Mm, it's in the boot.

CAR DOOR CLOSES,
ENGINE STARTS

'I kept telling her
to be a bit cooler.'

Men enjoy the thrill of the chase,
but Jane had a tendency to be...

..over-intense.

RINGING CONTINUES,
BEEP

VOICEMAIL: 'Hi.
You've reached Jane Andrews.

'I can't take your call right now,
so please leave a message.'

BEEP

LUIS:
'Jane? Jane, are you there?

'Look, I've just got back
to the house, and I...

'I can't believe what you've...

'I mean, what were you thinking?!

'You can't just come into
someone's home and...

'This has to stop, do you hear?

'I mean, the phone calls
were bad enough,

And then I found him the next day,
just laying outside.

I was appalled!
SARAH LAUGHS

Oh. Hi, there.

Wasn't sure we'd see you today.
Are you feeling better?

Yes. Much better, thank you.

Good stuff. Actually,
can I just ask you something?

There's an entry here
for Friday evening.

It looks like a booking
for a private room. I'm...

That's right.

I put that in there.
It's for my 30th.

I did send you an invitation.

Right.
It's been arranged for months.

Super. Well, I'll be sure
to remind the Duchess, but...

you know how busy she is
at the moment.

Claudia, I need you.
Coming, Ma'am.

I won't be long.
FABRIZIO:
No rush.

DISTANT LAUGHTER

Ciao, ciao.

Giovanna, you seem a little blue.

Me? No, I'm... I'm fine.

I hope that young man of yours
is treating you well.

Actually, Luis and I
aren't together any more.

Ah. I am so sorry to hear that.

Well, last time I was here, you were
going on a holiday together.

Yes, well, that's where
he decided to dump me.

Madonna Santa! You poor girl.

Clearly, that man is an idiot.

Thank you.
HE CHUCKLES

You're very kind.

SHE SNIFFLES

Aw.
Sorry.

It's my 30th birthday on Friday,
and I planned this big party, and...

I didn't imagine
I'd be going on my own.

These storms will pass. You'll see.

OK?

Fabs, you ready?

Absolutely, amore mio.

Oh, Aleksandra, you made it!
Of course, darling.

Many happy returns.

Thank you.
Erm, this is my friend Francesca.

Oh, lovely to meet you.
Hello.

Francesca has her own hair salon.
Does she really?

And this is Josh. We met at Ascot.

Well, in the Champagne tent,
to be precise.

I do hope I haven't missed
the Duchess?

No, not yet.

Talk of the devil...

Hi! Oh, hello, darling!
Happy birthday.

Oh!
Hello!

This is, er, fun.
Yes.

JOSH: Hello.
Oh.

Herself asked me to pass this on.

Aw.
She had a clash.

Sweet.
But she sends her best wishes.

Thank you.
Er, do help yourself to a drink.

Oh! Don't mind if I do.

Aren't you going to open it?

Yes.

Oh, it's lovely.

So simple and discreet.

It's very tasteful.

Honestly, it looked like
it had fallen out of a cracker.

Definitely cheap and cheerful. Oof!

And for such a significant birthday,
too. Oh, dear.

Well, clearly, young Jane had fallen
out of favour with the Duchess.

SCRUBBING

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

Claudia? Is she up in her room?

Er, yes, but she's about to go out.

I just need to speak to her quickly.
Actually, Jane, could I have a word?

Er, can it wait? I just need
to speak to the Duchess...

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

What is it?

Well, I'm afraid
we're going to have to let you go.

What?

It's no reflection
on you personally.

It's a cost-cutting exercise.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

No, this can't be right.
I need to speak...

I'm afraid
that won't change anything.

I mean, you know
the financial pressure she's under,

more than anyone.

Yes, I... I do, but...

And basically,
something had to give.

And it might be a good thing.

Give you the chance
to explore other options. Mm?

When?

You take your time.
You'll want to pack up your things.

But I will need your keys
by the end of the day.

'She was completely
and utterly devastated.'

It was almost like a bereavement.

I really think it broke her heart.

REPORTER ON TV:
'More tears
were shed for Princess Diana today.

After everything we've been through.

I know, love.

'And I wrote to her.
Did I tell you?'

After Diana died. I just wanted
to say how sorry I was.

'Oh, Jane. I think...'

I think you just have to try
and put it behind you.

What if I can't?

Well, now you're just being silly.

Why's it always like this?

What's wrong with me, Mum?

Why can't I ever just be happy?

'Of course you can be happy.'

You've just had a bit of bad luck,
that's all.

'And the truth is...'

I blame myself.

You shouldn't.
'Well, yes, I should.

'Your... Your father was right.'

I should never have pushed you
into taking that job.

If you hadn't moved away,

Why don't you just come home?

If you come home,
I-I can look after you.

You could even see about...

..starting back at Markses.

'I'm sure they'd love
to have you back.'

Did you hear me, Jane?

What difference does it make, Mum?

Wherever I am,
it always ends up the same.

I'm just...

I'm so tired of it all.

Now, you're to stop that.
You're not to talk like that.

INTERCOM RINGS

I'm sorry, Mum. I have to go.
No, no, Jane.

'Wait. I'll call you tonight.'

There's someone at the door.
'At least just-just...'

..eat something.

RINGING CONTINUES

Hello?

ALEKSANDRA:
'Jane!
Darling, it's Aleksandra.'

BUZZING

You must excuse the mess.
I've just been rushed off my feet.

So you've found
another position already?

Oh, no, I'm still just... making
the most of my little sabbatical.

Although I don't think
it'll last much longer,

not if Sarah has her way.

So you've spoken to her?

Er, we've been corresponding.

Seems things have rather
fallen apart since I left.

Obviously, Sarah wants me back,

but I think it's important
it's on my own terms, you know.

Well, yes, absolutely. Good for you.
THEY CHUCKLE

Actually, darling,
I really can't stay,

but I did want to speak to you
about Luis.

Sorry?

It's just he thought he saw you
near his house recently, and...

..well, I do hope
you're not starting all that again.

No, no, of course not.
Because that would be very silly.

I promise you, I haven't been
anywhere near the house.

I really have no idea
why Luis would say that.

Right.
Well, I'm very glad to hear it.

All right, well, I must dash.

Er, well,
perhaps we could grab drinks soon?

Or dinner?
It's been an absolute age.

Yes. Yes, we must. Sometime soon.
Well, how about Friday?

We could have drinks
on the King's Road.

Have some of those divine cocktails.

It'll be really good
to have a proper catch-up.

Er, yes, we could do that.
So should we say Friday?

All right, let's say Friday.

I'll call you during the week.
Wonderful.

JAZZ PLAYS,
GENTLE CHATTER

BARTENDER:
What can I get you?

Er, two Cosmopolitans, please.

PHONE BEEPS

'Darling, it's Aleksandra.
So sorry, but something's come up.

'I shan't be able to make it
after all.

'But I do hope you're well, and...

'Well, let's speak soon. Ta-ta.'

There you go.
Oh, er, actually...

I see you're lining them up.

Sorry?

That's actually for my friend.

Invisible, is she?

No.

Just running late, then?

As a matter of fact,
she just cancelled on me.
Oh.

And here you are
with two pink drinks...

..and no-one to talk to.

I'm sure I'll survive.

Right, well... I'll do you a deal.

You give me one pink drink,

and I'll give you five minutes
of excellent conversation.

I'm OK. I'll pass, thank you.

OK, I'll pay for both drinks, and
then we can stand here in silence.

I can't say fairer than that.

I'm perfectly capable of paying
for my own drinks.

I'm sure you are.
But where's the fun in that?

Er, excuse me?

Mm. Jesus. Oh, my gosh,
that is truly disgusting.

Er, I'll have a bottle of Veuve,
please. And put these on my tab.

Of course.
I'm buying you a decent drink.

OK. One drink,
and then I have to go.

I'm Tommy, by the way.

So, you actually worked
in the Palace?

Mm-hm, to begin with.

Thank you.
Pleasure.

Is it true that it's full of mice?

No. Well, no more
than any other old building.

I heard it was completely infested.
Mm. Well, you heard wrong.

What was old Fergie like?
Quite the character, I'd imagine?

We got on very well, actually.

I was with her for nearly ten years.

So how come you left?

The Duchess had to reduce
her outgoings.

What, so she binned you?
After ten years?

In a word, yes.
Well, that's pretty cold.

Yeah, it wasn't great.

Well...

Then I say, fuck her.

Sorry?
Well, yes.

If you ask me, she did you a favour.
How exactly?

Ten years trapped
in the same dead-end job.

Ah, it wasn't a dead-end.
Yeah, but still, you know.

You should take a few more risks.
Yeah, get out there.

Says the man
with the trust fund to fall back on.

Everything I have,
I've worked very hard for.

I'm a grafter.
SHE CHUCKLES

Mm-hm.
Mm-hm?

I am!

Should I get us another bottle?

Mm. No, I really should go home.

No, don't do that. Please.

In fact, I think
I've had a really excellent idea.

Oh, yeah?
Yes, yes.
Come on. Drink up. Let's go.

Oh.
Mm-hm.

OK.
Come on. Let's go.

Mm!
Cheers, chaps.

FRANCESCA:
'They just hit it off
straight away.'

I was thrilled to see her happy.

Tommy was this successful
man about town.

Lots of friends.
He was the life of the party.

'And he was from this...'
Thank you.

'..very wealthy family.'

TAXI DRIVER:
Cheers, mate.
Thank you.

They seemed
like a really good match.

You'll love this.
Oh!

Well, you said you needed
more excitement in your life.

Er, no, actually,
you were the one that said that.

Well, nothing gets the blood pumping

like placing a few bets
on the gee-gees. There you go.

You've seriously brought me
to watch the racing?

Yes, what's wrong with that?

It'll be fun.

Right.

OK, so let's say we have... mm...

hundred quid each?

There should be...
three races still to go.

Whoever ends up
with the biggest pot buys dinner.

Oh, but don't worry.

If you lose,
I'll make sure you don't go hungry.

Who said I was going to lose?

OK, so next up is the 7:45?
Yes.

Lovely Llewellyn
is the beaten favourite,

but Antiguan Sun has won before
over the same distance.

Well, hello!

It's like my dad says.

"Don't bet till you know t'odds."

HE CHUCKLES

I think, er, at first, my brother
thought she seemed quite fun.

But, er...

..she certainly wasn't the type
of girl he usually went out with.

Look, look, look at 'em go!

OK, go, Peaceful Dream! Come on.
No problem there.

Where's your horse?
I know! Seriously, where is he?

He's miles behind, miles behind.

Well, I'm with Peaceful Dream now.
Come on, Peaceful Dream!

Go on, go on, go on!

Go, go, go, go!
Go on!

Look, they're way ahead!
All the way, all the way!

All the way! All the way!
Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Yes!
All the way! Go on!

Go on, go on!
Finish, finish, finish...

Yessss! Come on, you beauty!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

THEY LAUGH

I tell you what, from now on...

Jane Andrews, I'm sticking with you.

I think you'd better.

TAPE CLICKS

POLICE OPERATOR:
'Can you confirm
your name please, sir?'

'Yes, I'm Thomas Cressman.'

'OK, Mr Cressman, what is it
you want the police to do?

'I'd like the police to come
and split us up.

'I would like someone...

'..to stop us
from hurting each other.

'If you don't have
somebody here soon...

'..somebody here...'
RECORDING STOPS

Call was placed at 11:35

the day before the murder
from the victim's address.

According to the log,
no action was taken.

Somebody really dropped
the ball there, then.

Right, talk
to the mobile phone company,

get somebody checking ANPR.

If she's driving on major roads,
we should've had a hit by now.

All this bloody fancy technology.

I mean, the woman
can't have just disappeared.

RADIO PRESENTER:
'And now
we have our evening news.'

NEWSREADER:
'Police have been
attempting to locate Jane Andrews

'since the discovery of
Thomas Cressman's body on Monday.

'The couple have been described by
neighbours as "happy and in love",

'but as time passes,
speculation is growing.

'Could Jane Andrews
have killed the man she loved?

'We will keep you updated
on the story as the events unfold.

'And in other news,
preparations are...'
