No. 194 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:58,020 I just told them I found it lying around and, yeah, they seemed happy with that. 195 00:11:58,180 --> 00:11:59,180 But that's true. 196 00:11:59,210 --> 00:12:03,310 It wasn't a spare one of mine. It was one I found just lying around the campus 197 00:12:03,310 --> 00:12:04,310 somewhere. Do you remember? 198 00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:06,690 No, not really. 199 00:12:07,010 --> 00:12:08,430 But I'll take your word for it. 200 00:12:09,250 --> 00:12:10,770 Anyway, enough already. 201 00:12:11,190 --> 00:12:12,190 Go and get me a coffee. 202 00:12:12,550 --> 00:12:13,550 Yes, ma 'am. 203 00:12:15,230 --> 00:12:18,110 What we have to acknowledge is that so far, all of this is purely 204 00:12:18,110 --> 00:12:21,170 circumstantial. There's a chink of light in the case, but no more. 205 00:12:22,190 --> 00:12:23,190 Where's Jackie? 206 00:12:24,250 --> 00:12:26,130 I don't know, boss. She left her in the canteen. 207 00:12:27,390 --> 00:12:29,290 Right. Well, let's take them one by one. 208 00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:31,029 Phyllis Wade. 209 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:33,090 Yeah, she's a... University professor. 210 00:12:34,090 --> 00:12:37,590 Seems unlikely that she would be involved in anything like this. What, 211 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:38,590 poised to be a killer? 212 00:12:38,670 --> 00:12:41,890 No, but not strong enough to manhandle a 13 -stone man into a river. 213 00:12:42,610 --> 00:12:45,190 Unless she had help, or she was an accomplice. 214 00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:48,530 Yeah, so what about this boy McFarlane at the art gallery? 215 00:12:48,930 --> 00:12:49,930 Never mind that. 216 00:12:50,010 --> 00:12:51,290 What about this guy Joffey? 217 00:12:51,490 --> 00:12:53,430 Who's Joffey? And where have you been, Jackie? 218 00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:54,870 Reading Mr Joffey's book. 219 00:12:55,210 --> 00:12:57,390 He's a writer we met at the university today. 220 00:12:58,180 --> 00:12:59,860 Jackie, I told you... Are you with me, sir? 221 00:13:00,700 --> 00:13:02,000 How did James Melville die? 222 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,360 Well, no murder weapon or weapons was ever found, but he'd be badly beaten, 223 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,900 there was a rope around his hands hanging loose, and they found marks on 224 00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:12,160 neck which seemed to indicate that the rope had been part of a noose. 225 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,320 That would have had the effect of slow strangulation. 226 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,920 Every time he moved his hands, the noose would have tightened. Yes, but due to 227 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,560 decomposition, the pathologist was never sure if it was that or drowning was the 228 00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:22,560 true cause of death. 229 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:25,200 In other words, he might have been alive when he went into the river. That was a 230 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,200 possibility. Where is this going, Jackie? 231 00:13:27,530 --> 00:13:31,350 On page 27 of this book, there's a murder that's almost identical to the 232 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:32,350 you've just described. 233 00:13:36,630 --> 00:13:38,430 Well, we're all agreed it's macabre. 234 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:40,150 Was it worth taking seriously? 235 00:13:40,930 --> 00:13:41,930 Jackie? 236 00:13:42,570 --> 00:13:43,570 Yeah, I think so. 237 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:45,090 I mean, let's look at what we know. 238 00:13:45,790 --> 00:13:48,770 One, the mobile phone of the murder victim James Melville is discovered. 239 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,240 Two, we learn that it's sold by some student geek, Brian McFarlane. 240 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,880 Three, we further learn that he got it from his lecturer, Phyllis Wade, who 241 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,340 apparently found it lying around a university somewhere. 242 00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:02,640 And four, Phyllis Wade's colleague is this writer. 243 00:14:02,980 --> 00:14:03,980 So what do we think? 244 00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:06,040 Well, why would anyone choose to incriminate themselves? 245 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,580 Arrogance. Conceit. 246 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,920 You think you've got away with something, maybe you want to flaunt it? 247 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,920 book isn't proof. 248 00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:15,540 It's whether we can link Joffey to the victim, Melville. 249 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,200 Charlie, was there ever any connection with this guy, Joffey? 250 00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:20,450 Definitely not. I'd never heard of him until now. 251 00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:22,250 Can I ask a question, sir? 252 00:14:22,770 --> 00:14:24,890 Was the killer's method ever made public? 253 00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:30,550 You know, you're right. 254 00:14:31,050 --> 00:14:32,390 It never was. 255 00:14:33,730 --> 00:14:37,070 We never went to the press with it. I think we should bring him in for 256 00:14:37,070 --> 00:14:39,610 questioning. No, no, let's not get carried away. No, no, no, I'm not 257 00:14:39,610 --> 00:14:41,910 carried away. I just think we've got enough to bring him in for questioning. 258 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:44,630 I go back to what I was saying earlier. This is all circumstantial. 259 00:14:45,070 --> 00:14:46,430 The burden of proof remains with us. 260 00:14:46,650 --> 00:14:49,130 You give me one hour alone in a room with him and I'll give you all the proof 261 00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:50,069 you need. 262 00:14:50,070 --> 00:14:51,430 We need to go back to basics here. 263 00:14:51,830 --> 00:14:54,970 Stuart, start digging into Joffrey's background. See what you can find out 264 00:14:54,970 --> 00:14:56,190 without raising any alarm bells. 265 00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:59,830 We should also go back and see Melville's widow. What about this 266 00:14:59,970 --> 00:15:02,330 Phyllis Wade? Now, we've got to see a clue to have just now because of our 267 00:15:02,330 --> 00:15:03,590 connection with Joffrey. It's too risky. 268 00:15:04,410 --> 00:15:08,390 So you and Jackie, go and see Mrs Melville. Oh, for God's sake. It's all 269 00:15:08,390 --> 00:15:09,309 original statement. 270 00:15:09,310 --> 00:15:12,150 I mean, Mrs Melville couldn't help us then. I don't know how she's going to 271 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:13,630 us now. We're just wasting time. 272 00:15:15,630 --> 00:15:17,990 A word in my office, DCI Wilson. 273 00:15:25,290 --> 00:15:27,690 Don't ever contradict me in front of my officers again. 274 00:15:29,650 --> 00:15:31,030 That's fair enough, I was out of order. 275 00:15:31,610 --> 00:15:34,290 I just think we've got an opportunity here. To do what? 276 00:15:34,590 --> 00:15:35,870 Make complete fools of ourselves? 277 00:15:36,130 --> 00:15:39,570 This guy writes about a murder, so he must have done it. All I'm saying is if 278 00:15:39,570 --> 00:15:41,250 bring him in, we might find out. 279 00:15:41,730 --> 00:15:43,410 You, DCI Wilson. 280 00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:46,570 In your capacity as observer, I'm not going to do anything. 281 00:15:47,010 --> 00:15:49,070 This is my jurisdiction, remember? 282 00:15:49,550 --> 00:15:52,530 And I'm not taking this anywhere near the fiscal until I have concrete 283 00:15:52,530 --> 00:15:53,830 corroborative evidence. 284 00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:56,150 Do we understand each other? 285 00:15:59,350 --> 00:16:00,350 Yes. 286 00:16:11,150 --> 00:16:12,170 Mrs Melville? 287 00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:13,880 Yes?
