Until Sasha's back on her feet.

Ted case, wasn't he the dci that-

- stood for Gerry, yeah. - Yeah.

I don't see why

we can't keep things ticking over.

I mean, we're the ones with the expertise.

What the hell

do they make sellotape out of over there?

- Scotch. - What?

In the us, it's called scotch tape.

And Gerry ought to be careful.

He's supposed to be dead,

not sending us jiffy bags.

It's a cd.

There's a note.

Things are a bit tough at the moment,

the cd will explain.

Okay.

That Gerry, sounds a bit down, eh?

Ed case.

Ed case?

I prefer Ted.

Right, any relation to Jimmy case?

Used to play for liverpool.

I'm afraid not.

I played cricket for ealing

and I've got a dog called bertie,

does that count?

I have a cat.

Named simpkin.

[Upbeat whimsical music]

Vicarage of st barnabas church,

which was deconsecrated last year, yeah.

Saturday morning, April the 9th, 2006,

the vicar, Leonard whitechurch,

was found by his 10 year old son, Luke,

stabbed through the heart.

Murder weapon had gone,

door was open, but no sign of forced entry.

The murder was national news,

not least because whitechurch was married

to a black woman, Alicia,

with whom he had three children.

He'd been at the parish for two years,

last three months he'd been receiving

racist hate mail

all from the same person,

according to the handwriting expert.

I remember this case.

Mhm. [Chuckling]

No, I mean I remember this case.

Oh, yeah, vicar in the hall

with the lead piping.

Oh, no, vicar in the hall with a dagger.

Well, a letter opener, actually.

It was found last week

at an archaeological dig

less than a mile away.

It's tested positive for whitechurch's blood.

[Steve] To Leonard from...

Forensics are still trying

to decipher the rest of it.

The only other people at the house

regularly were dora, the Polish cleaner,

she was away in king's Lynn visiting friends,

and Wendy Carter, the curate,

and she was seen out shopping.

You should also know that

before this turned up,

Luke whitechurch had been badgering us

about the killing.

He talks of having a previously suppressed memory

of the death of his father.

Says he now remembers hearing shouting,

and seeing from his bedroom window

a man leaving the house just before he went down

and found the body.

You're joking, you are joking.

Yeah, well, obviously we can't use it in evidence.

So, cue Ted.

He led the black on black gun crime team until 2010.

His track record with the black community proves

that we're taking the whole thing very seriously.

Luke whitechurch is due here at 10 o'clock.

I'm afraid I have a future policy

and strategic initiative development

meeting to attend, so I'll leave you

to get to know each other.

Future policy and what?

Fpsid, ucos.

Don't you just love police acronyms?

[Telephone ringing]

Ah.

Punctuality, the virtue of kings.

Bit of a weirdo, eh?

[Ted] Luke?

Yeah.

Ted case.

Thanks for coming.

Is that what killed him?

We think so.

Tell us again how you remember it.

Matt and Sally, my brother and my sister,

they was at home from college for the weekend.

Me, them, and my mum,

we was all still asleep.

Dad used to get up early,

writing stuff for church the next day.

[Soft sorrowful music]

It's okay, take your time.

I heard shouting.

And I got up,

and I saw a guy leaving the house.

I come downstairs,

and dad was there, just lying there.

Are you sure?

You never mentioned any man

or shouting at the time.

Well, I couldn't see straight back then.

I couldn't see, or hear, or think, or nothing.

And now you can.

You don't believe me.

I knew it!

[Scoffing] I knew it.

I mean, do you know what it's like?

Coming downstairs and finding your dad

lying dead in a pool of blood?

No, no, son, we don't, we don't.

You think you ever forget that?

I mean, ever?

You see, I still dream about my dad.

But every morning I wake up and he's not there.

He's here.

[Soft sorrowful music]

[Motorbike engine roaring]

The hate mail's gone back

to the labs to see if there's anything new.

In the meantime, how about we talk

to the rest of the family?

You're not taking what he said seriously?

I'm taking the whole case seriously.

Nine years ago, someone murdered a good man

and got away with it.

What more do you want?

So let's see what the rest of the family's

got to say.

If I'm off to see mum.

I'll go with the well dressed one.

You go talk to the brother.

[Upbeat whimsical music]

Well dressed, what's this?

Rubbish.

[Upbeat whimsical music]

[Knocking]

Matt whitechurch?

I'm Steve mcandrew

with the unsolved crime and open case squad.

Thanks for agreeing to meet.

Do I have a choice?

What, in life, generally?

[Chuckling] A philosophical policeman.

How nice.

Nice house.

Can we just get on with it?

Sure.

Well, you know we've found the murder weapon.

Wonder if you recognised it?

Dad had lots of religious stuff like that.

Could've been his but I'm not sure.

Okay, thanks.

Now, we spoke to Luke earlier.

You know that your brother-

is an idiot.

Not getting a great sense

of brotherly love here, why's that?

He's not well.

What, you think he's-

I think psychiatrists have a lot to answer for.

Luke's never got over dad's death.

And you have?

Some of us cope better

with damage than others.

Damage?

Mhm.

Tell me, who do you think killed your father?

No idea.

Do you think it might've been

some kind of racist attack?

[Chuckling] Bit strange if it was,

dad being white.

I'm talking about the letters.

Dad tried to shield me and my sister

from that sort of thing.

But we knew what the world was like.

- The world? - Mhm.

The one you lot don't help.

My lot? [Chuckling]

Don't look at me, son, I'm from Glasgow.

Anyway, [clearing throat] Tell me

what you remember about that day.

I was in bed, asleep.

I heard Luke screaming.

I ran downstairs, and there he was.

Luke, my mother-

are you sure it was Luke you heard screaming,

no one else?

Mhm.

Tell me, did you like your father?

[Chuckling]

A lot of people don't.

Do I detect a hint of self revelation there?

Yes.

He was a very decent, kind,

too kind in fact.

Probably why he let the people in the house

that did it.

[Soft sorrowful music]

[Upbeat music]

[Priest] Reject all sin.

[Congregation murmuring in agreement]

Yes, their oppression shall be cast off.

[Congregation murmuring in agreement]

Evil spirits that possess those you love

shall be cast out!

[Congregation murmuring in agreement]

All the trouble shall be resolved.

[Congregation cheering in agreement]

Bit one note.

[Priest] God bless you all.

[Ted] Well, here they come.

[Chattering]

Alicia whitechurch?

Dan gryphon, unsolved crime and open cases.

Do you mind if we don't do this here?

Of course.

Follow me.

[Alicia clearing throat]

Leonard did collect religious artefacts,

but, I don't recall anything like that.

To Leonard...

Yeah, we're still trying to decipher

the last part of the inscription.

You're sure you didn't hear any shouting?

No.

After I...

After I found Leonard, I called 999.

I never thought that Luke might then come down

and find his body.

I should never have let that happen.

Well, Luke seemed pretty adamant

that he saw someone.

[Sighing]

I'm sorry, what do you mean by? [Sighing]

[Chuckling] Your children can be a trial

and a joy.

Is that it?

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

That's okay.

I have to go out and get some books.

These gentlemen are from ucos.

Hunt in pairs now, do we?

Matthew, apologise!

I apologise.

I'm sorry.

It's been hard.

The children were very little,

it was too much for them.

Not just for them.

How did you meet Leonard?

At university.

We were both at canterbury.

Love at first sight?

[Chuckling]

Leonard changed my life.

Changed my view of the world,

made me more thoughtful, tolerant.

Everybody loved Leonard.

Well, not everybody.

He received hate mail.

Racist hate mail.

You were asked who you thought sent the letters,

you said you felt it was someone local, why?

We'd been in inner city parishes,

and it was fine.

But then we came to st barnabas.

I've never known hatred like it.

It was terrible.

Then came the letters.

It was clear the writer knew us.

The murder team checked the congregation.

The experts compared over 100 samples

of handwriting, but, no match.

Evil is cunning.

Is that why you no longer attend

a c of e church?

The church where I worship now reminds me

of the church my parents used to take me to

as a child.

-It's comforting to -[Phone ringing]

Go back to a place where you feel at home.

Excuse me, I've gotta take this.

- Sorry. - Yep?

Yeah, I'll ask her.

Yeah, she's right here.

Cheers.

That was Steve.

They've finally uncovered the rest

of the inscription.

It says, to Leonard from wfc.

Wimbledon football club,

did Leonard like football?

Wendy.

Wendy Carter.

Her middle name was Felicity.

Wendy the curate?

Yes.

I sometimes worried

that she was too fond of Leonard.

Where is she now?

You don't know?

About Wendy?

Yeah, miss Carter was found hanging

from the tree by a nylon rope,

a stool lying on its side below her body.

She was declared dead at the scene.

April 9th, 2008,

two years to the day after whitechurch died.

Yeah.

It's noted that miss Carter

had been suffering from depression

for some time, I.E. Guilt.

Is that shorthand for,

I stuck a knife in his chest?

She was seen out shopping.

Yeah, or somebody who looked like her.

Look, listen, listen.

Curate's got a thing for the vicar, right?

She declares her undying love for him.

He says no, curate takes it badly,

stabs him with the little present she bought.

Two years later, she can't bear the guilt

anymore and it's good night, Vienna.

Doesn't sound very Christian.

What if it wasn't suicide?

Hard to hang somebody who doesn't want

to be hanged.

Not without signs of a struggle.

Exactly, guilt, shame, suicide.

Why else would she kill herself?

I don't know yet,

but I don't start theorising

on next to nothing either.

Let's have a look at what we do have.

Where's the coffee pot?

- We don't have one. - No, just instant.

Instant?

Any biscuits?

No.

So, you tell us, what do we have?

Well, we've got a dead vicar,

we've got a curate on the end of a rope,

we've got one son

who can't get over his father's death,

and one who has,

we've got a mother who's reverted to childhood

and a daughter,

well, we haven't even met the daughter yet,

and this is just day one.

Look, I mean, the way I see it,

it can't have been anybody from the congregation.

I mean, their average age was 68,

and the handwriting expert said

that whoever wrote the letters

was aged between 20 and 30.

And they might know a lot about the family,

but they certainly ain't no churchgoer.

So?

Well, we start all over again, tomorrow morning.

Bright and early.

[Upbeat whimsical music]

Can't believe he called you

the well dressed one.

I mean, look at the state of him.

Who is this guy?

[Fiona] You're stuck.

No, I'm not.

[Fiona] Yes, you are.

What is it?

On a shark, all at sea, five and three.

Noah's ark.

Correct?

Possibly.

[Clearing throat]

You don't like it.

What?

This.

You think it's too much.

You hate it.

No, no, stop.

You know, for the most intelligent woman

I have ever met,

you're an idiot.

Cris, my husband,

he didn't like me dressing like this.

He thought it was too show-off-y.

Well then, he's an even bigger idiot.

I need to ask you something.

Would you meet my parents?

What?

Not now.

[Chuckling] It's just we've been together

eight months, and...

Look, you don't have to.

It's probably not even a good idea.

No, no, no, of course.

If you want me to, yes.

Are they normal?

Normal?

No.

[Laughing] How could they be?

They're a bit old fashioned,

and dad can be a bit spiky sometimes.

Don't worry, I shall be as good as gold.

[Chuckling]

Do you really like this?

Oh, yes.

Can I ask you one more favour?

Will you come back here later,

and take it off?

[Upbeat rock music]

[Gasping]

Danny, I've made a decision.

We've gotta challenge this guy.

This nutcase.

He can't just come in here and take over.

I mean, ucos is not a dictatorship.

We're all entitled to our say, especially me.

I mean, I've been here longer than anybody.

I mean, it's ridiculous.

I mean, how long is it, now?

- Steve! - He's barely got his

foot in the door, and he's-

I got us cappuccinos, is that okay?

Ah, cappuccini.

[Ted speaking Italian]

[Dan speaking Italian]

And what's this?

- Oh, well, thank you. - That is the lab report

on the hate mail.

And thanks to the advances in DNA,

they found some traces going right back

to a Kevin Duncan.

Fancy a doughnut?

Yes, thank you.

Do we have an address for this Duncan?

Well, better than that,

he's just done four years for glassing a bloke

back in 2011.

He's only been out for a couple of weeks.

What, Duncan glassed someone?

Oh, no thanks.

Well, not just someone, someone black.

Right, so we could be talking

a race crime here?

Yeah.

So, we'll show Luke some pictures and see

if he can pick out this Duncan.

And then we have a long chat

with a racist graphomaniac.

A what?

A compulsive letter writer.

How much do we owe you for all this?

Oh, no, no, it's all on me.

So, is that chocolate, that one?

Yeah.

No, no, thank you, no.

[Soft eerie music]

He was running away,

I didn't see his face.

All right.

[Soft eerie music]

2006, you wrote a series

of race hate letters to Leonard whitechurch.

A vicar of st barnabas' church, isleworth.

Did I?

[Steve] DNA says you did.

Who's that, then?

Two weeks after he received the last letter,

somebody murdered reverend whitechurch.

A vicar?

No!

Shocking.

You wrote these letters,

very unpleasant letters, to him and his family.

Leonard whitechurch, man of god,

sullying the purity of his English heritage,

mixing the blood of black and white.

Mm, very crude.

But, then, for some people, so is miscegenation.

Do you wanna explain that to him?

He looks a little lost.

You wrote about his wife,

his sons, his daughter,

stuff only somebody

intimate with the family would know.

Ooh, what are you saying?

You listen to me, smart arse.

You wrote these letters,

now you're in the frame for murder,

so you better start talking.

What had he ever done to you?

Well, dig deep enough, you'll probably find

he was an arsenal fan.

We'll match the writing with plenty of yours,

and then, pal, let the good times roll.

Let the good times roll indeed, yeah.

Funny how you've never mentioned any evidence

of me being at that murder scene.

Why's that, then?

Oh, you haven't cautioned me either.

Could that be, by any chance,

because you haven't got any

evidence, because, there isn't any?

[Gasping] Oops.

You're going down.

I'm going to make sure of that.

I'll take my chances.

Bye!

Have you spoken to this man?

Luke wasn't able to recognise

any of the people we showed him, so...

Of course he didn't,

it was nine years ago!

- Matthew. - I know what I heard,

and I know what I saw.

This is ridiculous.

You obviously know who you think

did it, so why can't you tell us?

Because you may not look like a vigilante,

but you're beginning to sound like one.

We haven't been able to track down your daughter.

Do you have an address for Sally?

No, I don't.

We're not really in communication.

Okay.

Well, I'll leave you to get on with your day.

I'll see you out.

She's in a band.

Sally.

They're performing at the eagle in clapham,

and they normally rehearse there.

Would you like me to call her?

I can let her know you're coming.

Why not?

You see, mum and Matt,

they don't get on with my sister.

It's just...

Just different.

[Upbeat rock music]

Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt.

I'm Dan gryphon, your brother said he'd call

to let you know I was coming.

Oh, yeah, sorry, guys.

I've gotta just quickly do this.

[Woman] Don't be long,

we're playing tonight.

[Sally] Yeah, I'll be five minutes.

Nice voice.

Been in a band long?

It's what I do.

Make any money out of it?

[Laughing] No, but, it's what I do,

since my dad died.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Do you have any idea

about who might have been involved?

No, he was a good man, I miss him.

And how about Wendy Carter?

You were close to her, apparently.

She was a good person, too.

It's a letter opener.

It's what killed your dad.

You seen it before?

We now know that it had Wendy's initials

carved on it, wfc.

She killed herself two years to the day

after your dad died.

Bit of a coincidence.

What do you mean?

Your mum thinks Wendy may have had

a crush on him.

My mum told you that?

[Chuckling] Wendy loved my dad.

Not in that way.

She admired him, and you could talk to her.

No, when my dad died, she was devastated.

As was your mum.

Yeah, of course, but she was the one

who used to argue with dad.

I mean, don't get me wrong,

she loved him, but, you know,

they used to row a bit.

About what?

[Sighing]

Mum and dad believed that colour didn't matter,

that we live

in a wonderful, multicultural, happy society.

And then dad got the gig at st barnabas.

Not a wonderful, happy, multicultural society, then.

They shouldn't sell that church,

they should bomb it.

We got abuse.

The letters.

Six months after dad died,

Matt got beat up in the street.

Dad kept wanting to believe, but, it was a joke.

I even heard mum say to him,

you don't know what it's like.

How could you?

You'll never be black.

This to the man she married.

[Chuckling]

Mum likes to be in control.

Why do you think my brothers are still there?

Luke said you found the guy that sent

all that crap to my dad.

Did he kill him, do you think?

That's what we're trying to find out.

Luke's good.

Sweet.

But what he saw messed up his head.

Sal?

Come on.

If you can find out who did this,

that'd be the best thing to happen to this family

in a long, long time.

All 4 men?

You should try Claudio bizelli.

He's mostly Italian retro,

but some nice French stuff.

Got a little shop near seven dials.

You should check it out.

Well, no joy on Luke,

but I managed to track down the sister.

And?

Well, she's a bit alternative.

Sings in a band.

Gets on well with Luke,

but not with Matt or her mother.

Now I asked her about Wendy and her dad,

and she said Wendy did love her dad,

but not in that way.

Also said the parents argued.

Yeah.

And did you know that Matt was attacked,

six months after the dad was killed?

- Matt? - Mm.

I wondered whether it might be Duncan.

How was he?

Denied everything.

I'm sure every word was a lie.

Well, if it was him who beat up Matt,

we really would be getting somewhere.

Please, don't say that about our case.

[Steve] What?

What you just said.

What, that we might be getting somewhere?

Look, it's really, really unlucky,

in my opinion.

Okay.

You know, this family are all over the place.

The original murder team,

they were convinced it was a race crime,

but, I'm sure it's something

much more complicated.

[Whimsical music]

Ted, do you want to come for a drink?

No, no, I'll give it a miss,

but don't let me stop you.

That man has not been born yet.

[Whimsical music]

Ah, now we're getting there.

[Whimsical music]

How are we doing for time?

We're fine.

Did you get the wine?

- Yes. - Cheese?

- Yes. - Are you nervous?

Yes.

Do you want a cake?

Do they contain sedatives?

They're cupcakes, my mum's favourite.

What's this?

Beef Wellington.

My dad's.

How do you do this?

Hmm?

Cook, job, clever, attractive?

Intelligence and culinary expertise

are not mutually exclusive.

Despite ready steady cook.

If I'm attractive,

it's because I feel attractive, increasingly so.

[Upbeat music]

Where are the silver napkin rings,

the ones you got at the wedding?

Mummy, it's not a state banquet.

Have you sold them?

No.

Cris still has them.

Crispin, [chuckling] He would.

He's got taste.

Crispin?

So, Daniel.

Dan, Danny?

Dan.

Fifi tells us you're a policeman.

No.

Well, I used to be.

I still work for the police, but,

well, I retired, and then they asked-

hang on.

You were a policeman, then you retired,

and now you're back being a policeman again.

How does that work?

Oh, well, I still investigate crimes,

only this time it's in a civilian capacity.

Okay.

So, if I was a mass murderer,

and I see you coming,

knowing you're a civilian,

presumably without the powers of arrest.

Daddy-

quiet, darling, I'm talking.

[Iris] You don't look 65.

I'm not.

I'm not going to be quaking in my boots, am I?

I mean, I'm sure you can take care of yourself.

How's the meat?

Mm.

Lovely.

Crispin had a black belt in karate.

Did he?

Blue.

[Iris] I thought it was black.

[Roland] I worked until I was 72.

I'm working.

You obviously don't carry a gun.

Did I ever tell you

I saw crispin the other day?

Apparently he'd just operated

on the king of Jordan.

He is the most brilliant surgeon.

He just flew out there, cut, cut, cut,

rearranged the royal innards.

Back by tea time.

Got a pilot's licence, has he?

What?

The pastry is really very nice, darling.

That's what I most admire about crispin,

he's got hands that could kill,

but he uses them to save lives.

- Does he? - Countless lives.

Really?

Countless.

It's a shame he made such a mess

of Fiona's then, isn't it?

- What? - Daddy.

What did you say?

Is there any mustard?

[Clearing throat] Yes, good idea.

I'm afraid I don't like your manner.

Well, this isn't my manor, is it?

It's Fiona's.

What?

And, as far as I'm concerned,

crispin is a total arse.

You may think he's god's gift,

but it's pretty clear to me

that he treated your daughter

with total contempt.

He's undermined her at every opportunity,

he's devalued her looks, her intelligence,

even her femininity,

and I don't care if he's Bruce Lee reincarnated,

if I ever meet him,

I'm going to punch his stupid lights out.

And I think we all know

what he can do with his silver napkin rings.

More peas?

[Fiona] Daddy!

-Mr Kennedy- -no!

-Mr Kennedy- -daddy, daddy!

[Groaning]

-Let's just try and calm- -mummy!

[Dan groaning]

Look, i-

what are you doing?

I'm sorry, I'm going.

No, you're not.

How am I gonna get rid of a beef Wellington

and half a dozen cupcakes?

I'm so sorry.

Stop saying you're sorry.

As far as I'm concerned, you're truly special.

No one I've ever been with has made

my father want to punch them before.

[Crowd shouting]

[Dramatic eerie music]

Hey.

Hey!

Hey, bitch.

Are you sticking to the clocks?

Where you going now?

Why'd you not say anything?

Kevin, get off me!

Why'd you not say anything?

What are you talking about?

Thought you'd just disappear,

and now you're going to the police?

- Oi! - They're after me

for killing your dad.

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

Luke, just-[screaming]

[Clattering]

[Ted] Hey, leave her alone!

[Dramatic rock music]

Get off me, you bastard!

Sally!

[Dramatic rock music]

You can't even Nick me,

you're not even a copper any more.

I'm perfectly legitimate, mate.

Do you think you can call 999 girls,

a bit uncomfortable here?

[Dramatic rock music]

I checked Kevin Duncan's record.

He worked the student union bar

at thames university, the one you dropped out of.

How long did you know him?

A few months.

We went out, four or five times, that's all.

And why did you stop seeing him?

'Cause he was weird.

[Ted] You ever met him since?

Did you know he wrote

those letters to your dad?

Of course not.

Luke.

Luke.

Oh, no.

They think he's gonna be fine.

Cracked ribs, but his head's okay.

[Machine beeping]

Why is she here?

She's not family.

She was there for me when you weren't.

Sally, please.

Don't talk to me like that.

[Ted] Matt.

[Woman] She's a piece of work.

Evidently, the guy who attacked Luke

used to go out with your sister.

His name's Kevin Duncan.

And she told us you got beaten up

after your dad died.

It wasn't him, was it?

No, no, that was just some random guy.

And no one you knew?

Never saw him before in my life.

He just walked past, made this crack,

the next thing, I'm on the floor.

In the end, I decided not to press charges.

So he was arrested?

Yeah.

But after what happened to my dad,

the last thing I wanted to do was go to court,

have my mum put through a load more grief.

I just...

I just wanted to get on with my life.

Are you saying this Duncan killed my dad?

[Sally] Fine, we'll go!

[Woman] Don't let it upset you, babe.

- God, she just goes on. - Better get back inside.

You can deal with her.

[Woman on tannoy] Dr sinclair to x ray.

Sally?

[Woman on tannoy] Dr sinclair to x ray, thank you.

Can I ask you a question?

When did you come out?

What's it got to do with you?

Thanks for helping Luke.

[Woman] Let's get out of here.

[Sally] I just need to go,

and I need a drink.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, baby!

- What are you looking at? - Ah!

Oh, just looking at this report

on the assault on Mark whitechurch.

12th November, 2006.

A guy was arrested,

but Matt doesn't press charges,

so no further action taken.

The attacker was

a Roman krasnova, Polish carpenter.

Polish?

Yeah, I've been trying to track this Roman down

but no joy yet.

But of course, we've got the whitechurches'

Polish cleaner, dora sobieski.

She's still here,

works in a Polish delicatessen in ealing.

So it'd be worth talking to her.

You never said,

what actually happened to your eye?

I walked into a door.

[Speaking Italian]

Has Fiona got you to talk like that?

And, some cupcakes.

Wow.

Where did you get these?

I made them.

You made these?

You baked those cakes?

Well, everybody bakes nowadays, don't they?

New clothes?

Oh, these?

No, no, I just, they've been hanging around

for ages, I thought,

well, I'll just wear them, you know.

- So, what do you think? - Yeah, what do you think?

I think he means about the case.

Oh, sorry, yeah.

Well, Sally whitechurch,

are we missing something there?

Why she and her mother don't get on?

Well, to me, it gets less and less

like a racial crime.

Luke said it, I mean,

the family's completely screwed up.

I don't think

we're even scratching the surface

of what goes on amongst them.

[Telephone ringing]

Mm.

Oh, this is delicious.

The texture of the sponge.

Gryphon, ucos.

[Steve] It's so light, isn't it?

Yeah.

Steve.

Polish centre, hammersmith.

Oh, brilliant.

Hello?

Yeah, hi.

Thanks for calling me.

No, no, this is brilliant.

Yeah, a good time.

Yeah, mhm.

Butter icing and just sprinkles on it.

That's brilliant, that's such a help, yeah.

No, listen, that's...

[Speaking Polish]

[Laughing] Yeah.

Thanks a lot, pal, thank you.

Cheers, now, bye.

Well, get this.

Roman krasnova married dora sobieski

19th may 2006 in hounslow.

That's about seven weeks

after Leonard whitechurch died.

Interesting.

I don't know if it's got anything

to do with Duncan or not, you know, but.

Well, something else

I can ask him this afternoon.

Kevin, you've just served

four of a 10 year sentence.

You're out on licence, so after last night,

that means you'll be going

straight back inside again.

And when they do you for those letters,

they'll be throwing the book at you.

Are you that stupid

you can't see the mess you're in?

I mean, as it stands,

everything now points to you

having killed Sally's dad.

For the first time in your life,

why don't you be smart and try

to convince me otherwise?

I never killed him.

You met Sally at thames university.

She went out with you,

then she dumped you,

and you started sending her dad-

no, no, no, I tried to talk to her.

Rang her to find out why.

Nothing.

Finally I found out where she lived,

and went to see her there.

Her dad came to the door.

And I told him, I just want to talk to her.

That I loved her.

I did love her.

But he's all pretending to be nice,

and holier than thou.

So you paid him back

by sending a bunch of letters

full of racist abuse?

Black girl turned you down,

so all of a sudden it's their fault, is that it?

I didn't kill him.

I loved her.

Okay, Kevin, where were you on the morning

of April the 9th, 2006?

Hold on, let me check my diary.

I don't bleeding know.

Well, you'd better bleeding find out.

[Soft suspenseful music]

By the way, Kevin.

Sally is gay.

She's a lesbian.

No, that's garbage.

You're saying that to wind me up!

[Soft suspenseful music]

Hello, dora sobieski?

Yes?

Hello, I'm Steve mcandrew, this is Dan gryphon.

We're with the unsolved crime

and open case squad.

Police?

We're looking into the death

of Leonard whitechurch back in 2006.

You used to clean for him,

dora, at the time he died.

Yes, why?

Is there a problem?

Well six months after he died,

Roman krasnova, your husband,

attacked Leonard's son, Matt.

Is Roman around?

No, he's in Poland.

We're not together anymore.

Ah, okay.

Have you any idea

why Roman attacked Matt whitechurch?

No.

Does Roman not like black people, dora?

I don't know.

You must ask him.

We just wondered if there's some connection.

Roman doing this just a few months

after Leonard whitechurch is murdered.

I was in Norfolk.

Yes, that's right.

I don't want to answer any more questions.

I don't have to answer questions.

And what about Roman?

Does he enjoy answering questions?

Whereabouts in Poland, exactly?

Well, it's a simple phone call to Warsaw.

Or an email.

I don't know where he is.

He left me so I don't want to know.

And now I don't want to know you, so please go.

Just make sure you don't go anywhere.

[Soft eerie music]

Roman krasnova went back

to Poland December 2006.

April 2008, he is arrested

for attacking a pair

of British tourists in krakow.

He's a bit of a lad, isn't he?

Two year sentence suspended.

Last anybody knows, 2009,

he's heading for Berlin looking for work.

If he was a good boy and paid his taxes,

we could find him, couldn't we?

But, he's not a good boy.

Well, we could try Interpol,

but they take months.

Anybody got any nice German connections?

How come they got hitched here, dora and Roman?

I mean, you would have thought

they'd have gone back to Poland, wouldn't you?

Friends and family and all that.

- Hounslow? - [Telephone ringing]

Gryphon, ucos.

Yeah, all right, I'll tell them.

Luke whitechurch has regained consciousness.

[Upbeat whimsical music]

[Steve] [Sighing] Couple of shites.

You pulled him off me.

Thanks.

Did you recognise him?

Do you remember seeing him before?

I know something else.

Something I saw.

It was before my dad died.

I didn't want to think about it.

I mean, I just didn't think it was real.

But it was.

It was my dad.

Your dad and?

I saw him.

With Wendy, in his study.

I opened the door.

Saw what?

[Steve] Was this the morning your dad died?

Luke, what were they doing?

Sex.

They were having sex.

[Soft sorrowful music]

Look, this is a whole family

at odds with itself,

and we're just assuming

it's because the father's been murdered.

But what if this once wonderfully happy family

wasn't that perfect in the first place?

A vicar loses control of his trousers,

and he's lost his moral compass.

Yeah, and if Luke did see this,

it could be him who ended

up stabbing his old man.

Who's to say a 10 year old can't do that?

Well, I don't.

But, you know, if he did see Wendy,

and his dad, you know,

maybe he's not the only one.

[Steve] What, do you think

the whole family knew?

Gentlemen.

What's happened?

Is he okay?

They said he was up and talking.

Yeah, he's fine.

You were close to Wendy Carter.

You told Dan here, your father was too.

You said, she loved him,

and then you corrected yourself.

Were they, Sally?

Lovers?

[Chuckling] No.

That's ridiculous.

Who's been telling you that?

Is it my mum?

Wendy was wonderful.

Maybe your dad felt the same way.

No, not like that.

She was...

You could tell her anything.

Like about being gay?

Yes.

I told her, and she told my dad.

I couldn't.

I knew if it came from her

she'd find the right thing to say.

[Ted] Did your dad talk to you about it?

No.

And your mum?

When did you tell her?

Mum? [Laughing]

We never told her anything.

[Steve] We?

Me and Matt.

Why's that?

Because when she finally did find out

I was gay, a few months after my dad died,

she tried to make me see a shrink.

That's when I thought it might be a good idea

to move out.

[Upbeat whimsical music]

That is great, Sam.

That's perfect.

Where's Steve?

I don't know.

But it's his turn to get the coffee.

Morning, campers.

Here we go.

Now, Dan macchiato gryphon.

Thank you.

- Ted cappuccino case. - Cheers.

And Steve long tall skinny mcandrew.

Long, tall?

Plus my own humble contribution cake-wise.

Macaroons.

- Macaroons? - Yes, macaroons.

Lemon, raspberry.

These are fantastic!

A small thing but my own.

Mm.

Oh, wow.

Steve, these cakes are gorgeous!

[Dan] Well, well.

What?

I asked for a record of dora and Roman's wedding

in the UK, plus anything else they might turn up.

Well, they've turned up a birth certificate.

Dora had a baby in ealing, November 2006.

Her and Roman?

No, not her and Roman.

Thanks for coming in, dora,

we appreciate how difficult this is.

Now, first of all, you and Roman got married

on the 19th may 2006, correct?

Is that right?

Yes.

And you were pregnant.

Which is why you didn't get married in Poland.

It might have been awkward.

Family, church, priests.

No, that's not true.

So you're saying you weren't pregnant?

What's this, then, a miracle?

[Dan] The bit where it says father unknown,

you mean that's some sort

of immaculate conception?

We figured you got pregnant

around the middle of February, is that right?

What's the matter, what are you afraid of?

I'm not afraid.

I have done nothing wrong.

You were going out with Roman, weren't you,

so why does it say father unknown?

Dora, look at me.

Your baby born November 16th, 2006,

who's the father?

I don't know.

Oh, no, no, no, no, that's not true.

I can tell you're not that sort of a woman.

Okay, two days after the baby was born,

Roman attacked Matt whitechurch, why?

[Steve] Roman's not the father, is he?

[Dan] Did he realise?

Is that what happened?

You found out you were pregnant.

[Steve] Is Leonard whitechurch the father?

Roman found out and killed him?

No.

No, not mr whitechurch.

What colour is your baby, dora?

What colour is Katarina?

It's Matt, isn't it?

Matt's the father.

[Dora sighing]

I marry Roman,

and I pray my child will be white.

And be Roman's child.

But when she is born, Roman...

Knows she's not his.

[Steve] Roman left you?

And where's your daughter now?

It is hard for a Polish woman

to have a child alone.

So I give her up.

To a catholic adoption agency,

here, in england. [Sighing]

Dora, Matt whitechurch.

Did you ever tell him you were pregnant?

No.

I only told him after the baby was born.

And what did he say?

He says I'm lying.

He says he wants nothing to do with the baby.

He says I'm never to talk to him again.

Did you tell anyone else about this,

dora, before the baby was born?

Yes.

I was crying one day.

I was cleaning up the house and crying.

And he finds me.

He asked me why I was crying.

So I told him.

Who?

Leonard.

Yeah, yeah, great.

Thank you!

Alicia's going to the church to do the flowers.

Are we all good to go?

- Absolutely. - Yeah, fine.

Right, I should be there by 12:00.

It would be great if everyone else

was there around the same time.

- Okay. - Well, let's go.

Let's go!

[Door clicking open]

Mr case!

Matt says the man who attacked Luke,

you think he may have killed my husband.

Possibly.

Luke!

Mum! [Whincing]

Are you sure you're all right

- to come out? - Yes, mum.

[Door clicking open]

What's this?

Look, I understand how difficult

it is for some of you.

Leonard's murder has obviously led

to a huge amount of pain.

But I wanna find out exactly what's happened.

Believe me, I am happy

to walk right back out again.

Please, please, just wait.

I mean, the fact is, as with most families,

there are secrets you all share or hide.

But because of that,

it makes it much more difficult for us

to get to the truth.

What do you mean secrets?

The truth?

What about this man that attacked Luke?

Luke doesn't remember him.

Not as the person he saw leaving the house

after the murder.

But he has told us about something else,

something he's tried very hard not to remember.

Evidently, Wendy and Leonard

were having an affair.

No, that's ridiculous.

Why would you say that?

[Alicia] You said this?

[Ted] Don't you believe it?

Of course not.

It's impossible.

Why?

I'm sure she loved him.

[Door clicking open]

Oh, hi.

Look, I don't know whether you all remember dora.

Dora?

What does she want?

What the hell is this about?

Dora's slightly nervous,

so perhaps I'd better start off for her.

When she worked for you and your husband,

she became pregnant.

By Matt.

What?

Are you being serious?

She told Leonard.

Did he tell you, Alicia?

No, people tend not

to tell you things, don't they?

I never went near her!

She had a baby.

The baby was black.

We're happy to run a DNA test.

[Soft sorrowful music]

You slept with her?

No!

You slept with this woman in my house?

Mum, stop it.

How could you?

How could you do this?

You are shameless.

Disgraceful.

Stupid, stupid-

stop it, you sound just like him,

going on and on like you're Jesus Christ!

What did you say?

What did you say?

Just like him, on and on

about how appalling I am, how shameful I am.

And all this time, this Christian,

this man of god, my father,

is shagging his own curate.

I mean, how much more hypocritical can you get?

Oh, my god.

This man lets people walk all over him.

Bishop, church, even his own congregation.

And here he is having a go at me about dora.

And now she's pregnant.

[Soft sorrowful music]

So I'm paying the price of sin.

Too late for prayers.

One chance.

One chance he had to stand up for me.

To help me when I was in trouble.

And he's waving his dagger in my face.

So I grabbed it off him.

- Oh, no. - No!

No.

You told me he attacked you.

Because you confronted him,

because you told him you knew

about him and Wendy.

[Soft sorrowful music]

You lied.

You lied to me.

You made me lie.

Everything I did, said,

was because you told me your father betrayed me.

He did, mum,

- he did betray you! - No!

It was because of you!

- You have a child. - [Matt sobbing]

How could you do this?

How could you make me do this?

Matthew, Matthew, Matthew.

[Matt sobbing]

Matthew.

What have you done, Matthew?

[Luke] [Sobbing] Dad!

I just stared at him.

Stood there looking down at him.

I didn't feel like I had done anything, it was...

It was surreal.

Like something you hear about.

[Sobbing]

Well, he said he could cope

with damage better than most.

He had plenty of time to cope with that lot.

Ted, that was a good trick.

Coming in at short notice

and making a go of it first time out,

so, thank you.

Not at all.

Really interesting.

Actually, Ted, before you go,

could you just come out here for a minute?

You too, Danny.

I just, I threw this together for you last night,

just to show our appreciation, you know.

Here you go.

[Ted] You made this?

Yeah.

You did not!

My mother's recipe.

Are you telling me you made that cake?

Are you telling me you made those cupcakes, eh?

Now, that is some cake!

Thank you!

I'm gonna put the kettle on.

Yeah, yeah, sure, good.

Well, it must have taken you ages.

Well, everybody bakes these days, don't they?

[Upbeat whimsical music]

Anyway, didn't take long at all.

Once you've mastered a few basic techniques.

You do need a little bit of panache of course.

[Splatting]
