RADIO: 'It's two weeks since
schoolgirl Sarah Middleton
went missing

'and police admit they are less
optimistic with each passing day.'

Stuart? Well, it looks promising,

if that's the right word.

Adolescent female, dark brown hair.

Sarah's been missing, what,
two weeks? Yes, tomorrow.

The call said she was weighed down?

Yeah, swaddled in rubble sacks
and wrapped in chains.

Why go to that trouble then dump her
where she's going to be found?

Bad luck apparently -
water levels are at a record low.

Birthmark?

We can't be certain but you should
prepare for the worst. Why?

Our victim is female,

long, dark brown hair
and there's a birthmark on her neck.

Lots of people have a birthmark. It's
not proof. It doesn't mean it's her.

Darling, please.

This came for her yesterday.

It's an unconditional offer
to read music at Cambridge.

Aren't you going to say
congratulations?

Congratulations.

She's in there.

She's going to Cambridge.

So how can she be that girl
in the lake?

How can she be?

KNOCKING

Excuse me.

Fingerprints confirm that
it's Sarah Middleton, DNA tomorrow.

Thank you.

Decomposition is minimal.

I'd say she was in the water 48 hours
tops and dead for not much longer.

There is some evidence of rape, but
don't hold your breath for any DNA.

The lake washed it away?

Yeah, I mean, I've swabbed everywhere
so maybe we'll get lucky.

Leaving aside the sexual abuse,
there are two significant
antemortem injuries.

The pink-brown hue
of these excoriations

suggests they were sustained
while she was still alive.

Is that the same on this side?

My guess is they're from
striking out at a door or a wall.

Trying to get out? Yeah.
I mean, she's been dead three,

four days, which would mean she had
been held captive at least a week.

Is that the other injury?
Yeah, again,

times two, and
probably the cause of death.

I recovered shards of mirror glass
from these injuries.

There are easier ways of killing

than slashing wrists.

My hunch is self-inflicted.

So it was suicide?

No. No, this was murder.

Two weeks ago Sarah Middleton went
missing on her way home from school.

In the church hall car park
on Collier Road, she was seen
talking to a woman.

This woman had red hair,
was 25 to 30 years old,

and Sarah was seen pointing out
directions to her in an A-Z.

We urgently need to contact
this individual

as she is almost certainly the
last person to see Sarah alive.

Sir, this might be nothing
but we've got a girl
who didn't come home last night.

Kelly Stevens. Where? Roehampton.

Left her mate's house at 11.50pm,
went home, never made it.
Doesn't sound like nothing.

Kelly Stevens isn't violin-playing
Cambridge material.
What's that supposed to mean?

She's stayed out before,
been cautioned for shoplifting,
class B drug abuse.

Has a detective assigned?
Don't think anyone's worried.

Why not? I want in until
we know where she is, all right?

Isn't that a bit previous?

Here's hoping.

Sarah Middleton has exercised
the only choice she had left.

To live or to die.
But our killer is all about control,

so he won't be happy
with her decision.

He now has some unfinished business,
an itch he can only scratch one way.

Taking another girl?
Well, we have to be ready for that,

but we have to see
what we've learned.

To keep a person captive for
seven days takes space and privacy.

The planning and execution suggest
an offender upwards of 25

who has graduated
from non-fatal sex crimes.

So what do we do with this?

We tell the public to be careful,
we give the media
the positive ID on Sarah.

We hope we can use the spotlight
to reach our mystery red-head.

Are we not jumping
the gun here, Sir?

Given our killer's profile,
two missing schoolgirls
in two weeks worries me.

Let's see what Kelly's mother
can tell us.

Since this shoplifting thing,
Kelly's been on a curfew.

Nine o'clock or else. Last night
she left her friend Macy's at 11.50.

She would've been, what,
three hours over? Yeah.

Does Kelly have a computer?

Yes, it's upstairs in her bedroom.

What kind of welcome would
she have expected last night?

She didn't get here,
what does it matter?

I'm trying to see it
from her point of view.

I'd have given her hell and...
And grounded her for a month.

Perhaps that was the conversation
she was trying to avoid?
Enjoying her last night of freedom?

Yeah, I suppose so.

The last time that Kelly stayed out
all night, where was she?

I... I don't know.

A boyfriend maybe? Yeah, maybe.
You didn't press her on it?

I'm a single working mother
with a bright, impulsive 15-year-old.

I choose my battles.
Where is Kelly's father?

We separated last year.
He ran off with his secretary.

Anything?

Maybe, I'm just un-hiding
her email folder.

Does this look like a 15-year-old's
bedroom to you?

Maybe somewhere she rests her head.

Where does she live her life, hey?

Don't know but someone called Josh
might figure in it.

"My period came this morning
so we can spend the money

"you weren't saving for nappies
on cigarettes and alcohol.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Look, she's not here, man!

We'll just take a look for ourselves
if that's all right.

Oi, easy, bitch.
What did you call me?

I said... "easy on the speaker, man".

What is it, Josh?
Can't you get a woman your own age?

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, you got me.

We have got you, Josh. By the balls.

You were having a sexual
relationship with Kelly.

Kelly is 15,
and now Kelly is missing.

She told me 16! That won't keep you

off the sex offender's register.

But full cooperation just might.

You feeling us now, Josh?

Yeah, I feel you.

I gotta be somewhere, yeah?
Early start for a DJ.

I do kid's parties as well,
all right?

Bearing in mind that we have
access to Kelly's phone records,
when did you last hear from her?

Last night. What time?

About midnight.

She left me a message
saying she was coming over
cos her mum had slung her out.

Did you call her back?

No, I was DJ-ing.

I didn't get the message till
this morning. Have you still got it?

'Josh, it's me.
You better be in cos Mum's kicked
me out, I've got nowhere else to go.

'Later.'

Please.

Mrs Stevens.

Kelly's got diabetes.
You understand what that means?

Without her insulin...

I think we need a private word,

Mrs Stevens. She's our daughter.

Whatever you say to me,
you can say in front of Tony.

Is there anything else
you'd like to tell us?

Anything about last night at all?

Why would there be?

What's he on about, Anna?

'Josh, it's me.
You better be in cos Mum's kicked me
out and I've got nowhere else to go.

'Later.'

Three hours late. Again.

I had to take a stand!

You threw her out?

I told her it was no phone
and no allowance for a month.

If she didn't like it,
she could leave. At midnight?

She called my bluff.
How could you do that?

Because if I don't show her
who's boss, who will?

Don't try and put this on me!
That's enough.

This is not your wife's fault.
I beg to bloody differ.

We are trying to do everything
we can to get your daughter back.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry...

God, I'm sorry!

SHE SOBS

Boyfriend Josh's alibi checks out -
in the pub till 11,

straight on to a club
where he was DJ-ing till four.

Good. From home to Josh's,
there's one bus route.

Pulled CCTV and there she was.

What you selling?

So we know that Kelly Stevens got
off the bus stop there at 12.47am.

There are two routes
to her boyfriend's flat -
Stanway Road and Horton Villas.

Canvas all residents
and businesses in both streets.

Did anyone see her getting into
a car, in a conversation?

Basically, did anyone see
Kelly Stevens, full stop.

If there's no-one in,
leave a message and make a note
so that we can follow it up.

Thanks very much, good luck.

Everything about this
screams runaway.

Broken home, petty crime,
a taste for bad boys...

What am I missing? I want to
make sure there's no connection.

PHONE RINGS

Yup?

Thank you.

You've sanctioned a house to house?

I was getting to that.
Pull it. Right now.

We have eight officers on loan
from Traffic, they go back tomorrow.
Tough. Pull it.

They're already out there.
They don't have radios?

Pull it or you're back on leave.
Unpaid this time. Sir! I mean it.

No-one treats me
like a rubber stamp.

So this isn't because I'm wrong,
this is because I didn't ask, is it?

No, that did piss me off.

But I won't terrify the public
there's a serial killer
on no evidence whatsoever.

The AC wants us to pull the plug
on the house to house.

'OK. I'll put it out on the radio.'

You don't sound disappointed.

'That's cos we got ourselves
a witness.'

I was about to turn in
when I remembered I hadn't put
my card and paper only bags out.

That's when I saw her, the girl
in the photo. It's Kelly, right?

Yes, it is Kelly.
So where were they exactly?

Over there.

On this side of the road or...?
Other side.

She was talking to this couple,
hunched over their Range Rover.

Did you hear what they were saying?
No, they were looking at something.

The street light picked out
the woman's red hair.

Could it have been a map?

Could've been. I went back in
and when I looked, they'd gone.

She could've got the map
and the red hair from the appeal.

Or it's true
and there's a good reason why

our red-head witness
isn't coming forward.

As an MO, it's pretty slick,
isn't it?

The woman's presence reassures,
asking directions leads to the car,

and then the map distracts them.

Sir!

It could be Kelly's?

Maybe she struggled.

Or she was trying
to leave us a trail.

Oh, my God.

It's Kelly's.

Winston!

All right?

How are you doing?
It's George.

George! Of course! George!

So, erm?
Yeah, I'm a groundsman.

No need to ask
what you're doing here?

The missing girl, yeah? Right.

You think there's a connection with
the girl they fished out the lake?

You keep up with the news, George. So

it's possible it's the same killer?

It's possible. Or killers.

Let me guess.

The mystery witness is in on it?

The red-head?

George...

I was saying to my wife and she said
there's no way a woman could
ever do such a thing like that.

Nkata?

Great to see you, George.
Yeah, likewise.

Hope you get 'em, Winston!

So what've we got?

We think they're using a map
to bait the girls?

An A-Z, yeah.

Thank you, sir.

"Asked if police believed
Sarah Middleton's killer

was behind Kelly Stevens' abduction,

"DC Nkata replied, 'Yes, but we're
now looking for killers plural,

"'a man and a woman.'"
I never said that.

"He confirmed the unidentified
red-haired woman seen talking

to Sarah is a suspect."

That is such bullshit. He asked me...

Did you say any of it?

Then it doesn't matter, does it?

Admit you put Nkata up to this
and I'll go easy on you.

It's not Nkata's fault.
So you did put him up to it?

It is regrettable how this came out
but the red-haired woman and the map

link Kelly's disappearance to
Sarah's murder...
Don't say conclusively.

Quite conclusively, sir.

While the discovery of Kelly's shoe
and the eyewitness report give us

every reason to fear the worst.

What business do we have
keeping this from the public?

Lecturing me is your way
out of this? That's your Big Plan?

My way out of this
is to use the leak to our advantage.

So I want to address the young woman
we now believe was present at the

abductions of both Sarah Middleton
and Kelly Stevens.

You know where Kelly is right now,
how scared and lonely she feels,

how much she wants
this nightmare to end.

What you may not know is that
she is diabetic.

Without her medication,
she is in very real danger.

There's only one person

who can help her and that's you.

Now, if the man behind these crimes
is your boyfriend or your husband,

you may feel you owe him loyalty.

You don't. He forfeited that
when he dragged you into this mess.

Instead, I urge you to save
this young girl's life...

A child's life, no less.

A child's life. Nice touch, Guv.

Well, I think that did the job.
And what was that job again?

In any criminal duo, there is
a junior and senior partner.

We are driving a wedge.

Turning one against the other?
Works with armed robbers.

Yeah,
but the junior partner's a woman.

We don't know...
D'you have a better idea?

Right. Everybody,
I know we primed them, but I want

follow-up calls to all the nicks in
South West London, ditto A&E wards.

Any domestics reported,
we want to know about,

particularly if they involve
young red-headed women.

Barbara...

Do you want the guy
to beat the crap out of her?

Well, if she comes forward and
leads us to Kelly, then yes, I do.

What if we've lit a fire
under the senior partner?

What if all we've done
is just endanger Kelly?

So we wait around till
she turns up in a bin bag?

Sometimes doing nothing
is the hardest thing.

You sound like a fortune cookie.

You sound like someone convincing
himself he's doing the right thing

and not succeeding.

Will you check if Lafferty
got anywhere with the fingerprints
from the A-Z, please?

Right now?

Prints galore.

Same two, over and over.

Judging by the size and spacing
I'd say male and female but...

Our killer couple? Well, if
they are, they don't have a record.

Anything? Five suspected domestic

assaults in the last hour,

three 999s,
two walk-ins at St Georges.

And red-heads in their twenties?

Check 'em anyway.

Guv - Kingston A&E,
could be our girl.

PHONE RINGS

Yep?

'Tania Thompson, 25, red hair
came into Kingston A&E'

with facial bruising, cracked ribs,
concussion. Fell down the stairs(!)

Great, that sounds promising.

I haven't finished. There's a black
Range Rover registered
to her husband, Guy.

You're kidding? Well, they're
dragging out her X-rays but they

can't... OK, I'll be there in 10.

Let me just have a look there...

There she is.

Hi.

My name's Barbara Havers,
I'm a police officer.

I told them. I fell down the stairs.

Right.

My aunt used to
fall down the stairs.

And walk into doors.

I'm not your aunt. Good.

She ended up in a wheelchair cos
my uncle beat her with a car jack.

You know,

given your injuries, I could get
a warrant to examine your stairs.

If there's no evidence of a fall,
we can draw our own conclusions.

It's not his fault. Whose fault?

Guy.

Is Guy your husband?

You're being very understanding.

I'm his wife.

Maybe too understanding.

I love him.

PHONE RINGS

Jack.

Right...

OK, thank you very much.

Doesn't have a record, but he's come
to our attention twice. For?

In 2000, his girlfriend reported him
for trying to throttle her
during sex,

three years later a hotel maid
accused him of assault.
Good lawyer or what?

Girlfriend retracted,
maid did a runner when the police
found out she was here illegally.

Sounds like he's due some bad luck.

There he is.

Hello, Guy.

The marks on your wrists...

I saw them, Tania.

It used to be a bit of fun,
you know? But not any more?

Does he do anything else
that makes you uncomfortable?

Like what? Like anything?

Why do you care?

Well, don't you think
you're worth caring about?

Honestly?

Not really.

Look, I can help you.
I can get you somewhere.

Somewhere safe. Come with me, Tania.

He'll find me.

He always does. Tania...

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

Follow him.

What if he's got Kelly in there?

Something tells me
he's smarter than that.

'Lafferty.' Hi.

You said I needed something to run
against those prints in the A-Z?

'Yeah, what have you got?'

Two, please.
That's 35 then, thank you, sir.

Let's say you want to open

a play centre for kids.

Good.

Now if there are no play centres
in your area,

you might think
you've got no competition.

Wrong!

Any business that vies for families'
leisure time is a competitor.

That means cinemas,
shopping centres, zoos.

It could mean Sunday schools,
it means parks and beaches.

So what do you do?

Well, you have
got to become a hunter.

You've got to get out there
and scope your enemy.

Put yourself in their shoes.

Role play.

Why not pay them a visit
as a consumer
and identify their vulnerability?

Everybody's got a weak spot -
what's theirs?

What's yours?

OK, I want to introduce this next
topic with a simple demonstration,

so I'll need a volunteer.

Yes, you sir, at the back?

What's your name? Thomas.

Good to know you, Thomas.

All I want you to do is stand there
and not move your feet.

Can you do that for me?

I'll give it a go.

You see, I hardly touched him and
I'm already causing him problems.

You moved your feet. I had to.

Exactly.

You had to.

You adapted to survive.

You broke the rules,

and now you have the upper hand.

Is that what you advocate?
Breaking the rules?

I advocate independent thought.

Letting go of what seems possible
and impossible.

Thank you very much, Thomas.

Give him a round.

APPLAUSE

I started off as a locksmith,
branched into alarm systems
and made millions.

I did not confuse flexibility with
weakness and neither should you.

Doesn't look like
he needs to abduct women.

Maybe it spoils it
if it's given freely?

OK, let's just load these up.

Bingo.

Thanks, Barbara.

Tania Thompson's prints
match the prints on the A-Z.

That puts her at the scene of the
abduction. And puts him there.

It's inadmissible.
We can't arrest him.

We don't want to arrest him.
Our best chance of getting Kelly
is if he leads us to her.

Look at him, he's having a drink,
loosening up.

He's paying her a visit -
whatever the risk.

I think you're right. Come on.

Here he comes.

What's with the bag?

Should I check the oil so
there's a reason we're here?

No, he might recognise you.

Someone's dressed for business. Is

this guy forensically aware or what?

What's the camera like
on your phone?

Lost him!

He must have clocked us.

Request immediate response
from all units in the vicinity.

Urgent stop and search on a black
Range Rover registration number...

Y. YH06 KBF.

SIREN WAILS

No warm bodies on the premises.

Could she be in a cellar?

Got building plans
from the council...

No cellar.

OK, you should have a warm body now.

OK, so he's got Kelly
somewhere else.

A visual on the B432 southbound -
please advise.

Pull him in and breathalyse him.

He's been drinking.

SIREN WAILS

What's up? Would you mind stepping
out of the car please, sir?

Thomas? Detective Inspector Lynley,

this is DC Harvey.

Can I have a word?
Can you tell me what's going on?

He was wearing a boiler suit.
Did he take it off?
Not since I've been with him.

Look after him for a minute,
would you? Yes, sir.

How do you want to play this, Guv?

Pick him up for GBH on his wife
Tania, all right?

Don't mention anything else.

Guy Thompson, I am arresting you on
suspicion of grievous bodily harm
against your wife Tania Thompson.

You do not have to say anything
but anything you do say maybe
used in evidence against you.

There's no boiler suit.

You're kidding!

I want this road searched from here
back to the junction. All right.

Winston, visit to the ex-girlfriend
he tried to strangle in 2000,

Kate Myers. OK, what am I after?

Anything and everything.

If this is our guy,
you just slit Kelly Steven's throat.

The plan wasn't to arrest him.

So what happened?
He spotted the tail.

How? I don't know, he just did.

What motive has he got
to tell us where Kelly is now?

He could have been on his way
to kill Kelly. We had no choice.

No, why is he going to talk to us?

I can't hold him forever.
I'd best get started.

I'll be watching,
and I'm not asking. Fine.

If I were you I'd let him off
with a caution and pray
he leads you to Kelly.

I don't think
he'd fall for that, sir.

His prints are a match with the
fingerprints on the A-Z cover.

Right. For now we just talk
about his wife's injuries.

We don't mention Sarah or
Kelly Stevens.

Why not? Because he'll just deny it.

In the same breath...
What if Kelly's dying?

You heard about the insulin.
He'll know how little we know.

His prints are on the A-Z!
Yeah, but not Sarah's or Kelly's.

He'll just say
someone stole it from his car.

We don't have time for this...
Kelly doesn't have time for this.

No pressure, then. Sir.

What were you doing at my lecture?

I followed you, from your house.

What were you doing at my house?

You're part of a kind of
unofficial screening process.

Really? If someone comes to our
attention three times for an offence

we come down on them
like a ton of bricks.

Three times.

So one of them's my ex, right?

Guilty conscience? Hardly.

That was Kate throwing a strop
because I wouldn't marry her.

You're not counting that Polish girl
in the hotel, are you?

We most certainly are.

The charges were dropped.

In both cases, the charges were
dropped. That's why it's unofficial.

So let's talk about strike three.

Your wife.

The reason we're here.

Is that it?

That's all this is about?

Yes, that's all this is about.

You could have caused
permanent damage.

Is she pressing charges?

If she is, I'll plead guilty.

I deserve whatever's coming.

I need help, anger management,
psychotherapy, whatever it takes.

Remorse is a positive step,
Mr Thompson,

but our most pressing concern
is Tania.

Mine, too.

LOUD MUSIC PLAYS

Excuse me.

Is there somewhere we can talk? Yeah.

At first I thought Guy
was just a control freak.

He had something to say about
my clothes, my hair,
which friends I saw and when...

I went along with it initially.

So what happened?

I realised it wasn't about control.

No? It was darker.

He actually wanted me to resist,

to fight back so that he could
overcome that resistance.

He was a sadist, basically?

He once said to me that the most
erotic words in the English language

were "stop" and "no".

You mind me asking about the time
he grabbed your throat?

You mean, the time he strangled me?

I blacked out and he panicked.

Why didn't you press charges, Kate?

Because I was a bloody idiot.

Tania left the hospital early
and she's not at your address.

She's probably at her parents'
house in Reading.

Can we have that address, please?
And the phone number?

If she's not there,
what about a second property?

Sorry? You do have a second property?

Yes, I do,

but she won't be there.

How do you know?

Because she doesn't have the keys.

Guy's relationship with his parents
was really screwed up.

He worshipped his father even
though he was a womaniser who

knocked his wife around.

Guy wasn't a mummy's boy?

Especially not after
she started drinking,

let herself go. Said he
couldn't stand being seen with her.

And he was how old?

13, maybe 14?

Anyway, during one particularly
nasty row she dropped the bombshell

that the reason his dad wasn't
around was because

he had another woman,
and more importantly another son.

And let me guess...
It was all Mum's fault?

I think he beat his mother up.

I know she never left
the house again.

By Christmas,
she was dead of liver failure.

Thanks a lot.

'Hello.'
Tania, it's me. Where are you?

I'm at home. 'You're at home?'

'Yeah, what's the matter?'

How long have you been there?

A couple of hours.

Why? The police are looking for you.
They said that...

Guy, I haven't told them anything,
believe me. 'I know, I know.'

Everything's going to be all right
just as long as you remember
your wedding vow. Which one?

'I stand by my man to the end.

'Say it.'

I stand by my man until the end.

Good girl.

I'll get my lawyer down here.
Guy, sweetheart, listen, I...

Kelly takes insulin
three times a day?

Which means she has missed,
what, four injections?

Her blood sugar'll be rising,
if she doesn't have water.

She'll become hyperglaecemic
and delirious and then
she'll lose consciousness.

So how long are we talking?
Maybe a day, maybe less.

Sir, surveillance from the house.

Guy used his phone call
to speak to Tania.

He now knows that we knew
she was at home all this time.

The gloves are off. About time.

Guy lived in Brighton
between 2000 to 2003.

OK, I'll check the local nicks
for unsolved sexual assaults.

Sir, spoke to Guy's ex.

Time well spent. Think you can
help us get under his skin?

I think his father could.

Do you recognise this?

Do I recognise it?
It's the cover of an A-Z. Your A-Z.

Says who? Your fingerprints.

I did have mine nicked from the car
other day. Where did you find it?

I'm going to ask you
a really stupid question now.

OK, it flies in the face of every
interview technique in the book.

But you're either going to talk to
me or not. Where's Kelly Stevens?

She's the missing schoolgirl, right?

Right.

Well, I have no idea where she is.

Why would I?

Is she dying?

Is she dead?

Sorry.

What about Sarah Middleton?
Never heard of her.

We pulled her out of Shawcross
Lake yesterday morning. Wow.

You guys must be really desperate.

Drunk driving, wife-beating,
kidnapping and now murder.

What's next? High treason?

Setting fire to the Royal Dock Yards?

Sorry, do I actually
have to say the words,
charge my client or release him?

You can't hold him
on unsubstantiated GBH.

We'll resume this interview later.

Later? When later?

We've been here for hours.

Kelly's parents are here.

They want to know if we're
close to finding her.

We need that boiler suit.
What's the delay?

Well, it's slow-going
searching in the dark.

That's why I gave you 20 extra men!
They're on their hands and knees!

We need a warrant for the Thompson
house. I thought Kelly wasn't there?

Wherever she is,
there's got to be some paperwork
somewhere, an address.

All right, I'll get a list
of after-hours magistrates.

Don't bother. I want Marion Stein.
Make sure there's some fresh coffee.

Don't forget the cream.

I'm afraid we have no news.

And no news is bad news, right?

It was dark.

It was really only the girl
who was facing me.

Just take your time.

This means you got someone, right?

Just focus on the pictures.

If I'm wrong, will you have to let
them go? That's not your concern.

It was him.

Marion,
you must let us come to you.

I'm here, aren't I?
Yes... Well, thank you.

So, let me get this straight.

You're after a search warrant
under the 1978 Protection of

Children Act, yeah? Well, ideally.

Ideally doesn't sound good.

His fingerprints on the A-Z
won't get you in.

His "pinched from the car" story
is as irrefutable as it is unlikely.

Plus it has bugger all
to do with his residence.

Well, he has come to
our attention before.

But not to a judge's.

OK, but my priority here
is to get Kelly back alive.

If we jeopardise a conviction
in doing that, so be it.

OK. The wife,
what exactly did he do to her?

A black eye. Cracked ribs. Mmm-hm.

Hospital take pictures? Yeah.

That crescent-shaped bruise
could be useful.

Doesn't look like a knuckle.

Would you grant a search warrant
for a weapon? A restricted search.

Of course.

KNOCKING

FOOTSTEPS

Tania Thompson, this is a warrant
to search these premises.

In you come, boys.

I request that you stay in
one area of the house
while the search is conducted.

What are you looking for? The weapon
your husband assaulted you with.

Well, is that it? "Is that it?"

That's funny, that's exactly what
your husband said. "Is that it?"

Anything else you'd like to share
with us, get off your chest? No.

I told you, I fell down the stairs.

Yeah, then you changed your mind.

Mrs Thompson, is there a reason why
your fingerprints would be on an A-Z

recovered from the scene
of Kelly Steven's abduction?

I haven't given you fingerprints.
There's no reason they'd be there?

Oh, wait, we had
an A-Z stolen from our car.

Did Guy tell you to say that? No.

Where is Kelly Stevens?

I don't know a Kelly Stevens.
Of course not.

It's much easier to think of her
not as a person, isn't it?

But as an animal.
Much easier, flesh and bone.

Which is what you and Guy
reduced Sarah Middleton to

when you put her in a bin bag.

I don't know what he's talking
about! Tell him! WHERE IS SHE?!

Sir!

A word.

She's with a psychopath.
You think you'll scare her?

I'm not trying to scare her.
We need to win her trust.

We need to show her
we can protect her from Guy.

I had a peek at the PC, she just
looked up diabetes on the internet.

If we treat her
like a co-conspirator,
not the victim that she is...

Oh, semantics. Not if we want
to talk to her, it isn't.

How do you know she's a victim?

"Dear Guy,
you are my husband and master.

"I promise I will try harder to be
the wife and lover you deserve.

"I will do whatever it takes
to get back in your good books.

"Your ever-loving
and obedient Tania."

Come and have a look at this.

My guess is they're all places
he's installed alarms
and security systems.

That's where we should look!
He can get in, out,

he knows who's there.
They're the cream.

He must've installed alarms
in hundreds of places.

When we tailed him,
we tailed him down the A3.

Cross-reference that
with the alarms
he's installed in the last year...

I'll get a warrant for his offices.

PHONE RINGS

Lafferty.
'They found a black boiler suit
and a hat in a ditch by the B432.'

Good.

Come on, Winston, let's go.

Tania?

Now, if the man behind these crimes
is your boyfriend or your husband,

you may feel you owe him loyalty.

You don't.

Tania? Tania?

Have a look at this, Tommy.

Blood shows up green under UV, yeah?

Oh, my God.

His DNA will be all over
the lining of this.

So if these are
the victim's prints...

We're home and dry.

I'm here to see my son, Guy.

Where is he? We just need you to

sit tight for a minute, Mr Thompson.

Can I get you a cuppa?

No, thank you.

Oh, my God!

Mr Thompson.

I'm Detective Inspector Lynley.

The boiler suit, the A-Z
recovered from the abduction site,

the black Range Rover.
This all points in one direction.

Asking you to absorb this
is asking the impossible

but I have no choice.

You really think I'm gonna help you
fit my son up for something
he didn't do?

I have absolutely nothing to gain
from fitting your son up.

But everything to lose.

Kelly is diabetic.

Wherever she is, no-one is coming
for her, which means no insulin.

Mr Thompson, if she's still alive,
we're talking hours.

My son had nothing to do with this.

When Guy's mother told him
about your other son,

you know he didn't just storm out.

He beat the living daylights
out of her, didn't he?!

You bastard.

If you don't want to answer, don't.

Dad?

This isn't legally and
professionally unorthodox,
it's outrageous!

Dad, this is a mistake.

You had no business
bringing him into this.

It's OK, son. No, it's not!

We found the boiler suit, Guy.

They're lying, Dad.
Why would I even own a boiler suit?

So this isn't a picture of you then?

It could be anyone.

What did you take it with, a phone?

It's you, Guy. We both know it.

You're embarrassing yourself, Dad.

They're using you.
I want to help you.

Then stop looking at me like that.

Like what?

Like you actually believe
what they're saying!

You look beautiful.

Where are your bridesmaids?

My cousin Alice
died two months before,

and we were really close, so...

So if she couldn't be a bridesmaid,
then no-one could?

Well, how did she die?

She had a seizure.

She had them since she was a kid.

All the guests were Guy's side of
the family. What about your friends?

Guy never really liked them.

Well, how about your mum and dad?

We don't see them any more.

Is there any part of your life
that Guy doesn't completely control?

I had a job once.

At a chemist.

The pharmacist trained me up
as an assistant.

You must think I'm really pathetic.

Look, the case is building
against Guy.

Blood, DNA, the works. He's going
to go to prison for a long time.

And you will too. Only for you it's
going to be ten times harder. Why?

Because you're a woman.

Stop it!

Look, help us and we can help you.

Tania! You don't understand!

Tania!

It's my fault.

I showed you a bad example with Mum.

Mum was a useless piss-head.
So you were never home.

Like I said,
some of that's my fault.

You have no idea what it was like,

her wearing the same gin-soaked dress

day after day.

I know. And you were just a kid.

I thought if my friends saw me in the
street with her I would die of shame.

I was AWOL all that time.

You were with your real family.

Now I want to make up for that.

Where's this girl, son?

Tell me where she is and
I swear to God I'll stick by you.

And if I don't?

Then I walk out of here,

and you never see me again.

I don't want that any more
than you do.

What is it, Dad?

The house I bought you
not big enough?

The car I gave you for Christmas
had too many miles on the clock?

What's funny?

I never actually thought
I'd say this.

But Mum was right.

You ARE a waste of space.

You know,

I'm actually glad you weren't
around when I was growing up.

Taught me to stand
on my own two feet.

There's the door.

Where is she, Tania?

I didn't hurt anyone! Where is she?

I just...

got them over to the car and...

You mean Sarah and Kelly?

He said if I didn't help him,
he'd lock me up again.

Lock you up where?

The same place he's got Kelly?

He'll kill me!

He'll kill me! But if you tell me
where it is he won't get the chance.

Guy's my whole world, I... I can't.
Yes, you can.

You were almost there before.

When he beat you up,
you didn't run away and hide.

You went to the hospital,
you talked to me.

You're ready. You've made the break.
I'm not! Yes, you are!

Tell me I won't have to face him.

I swear on my life,
he will never touch you again.

She's in a house near Redhill.

A Saudi family.

Guy did the alarms but they're
not moving in till next year.

Mind out!

Police!

THEY ALL SHOUT INSTRUCTIONS

Upstairs!

It's locked, sir.

Shoulder it.

Kelly?

SHE WHIMPERS

WPC! Yes, sir!

She's alive
and, outwardly, she's OK.

Thanks to you, eh?

'If we treat Tania right,
she'll tell us everything.'

We don't need to make concessions.

'What if she deserves some?'

We'll talk about this later,
Havers, all right?

Kelly's all right.
Well, physically, at least.

Oh!

I bring good news.

Bloody fingerprints on the boiler
suit are Kelly's and the set

we lifted from the collar
match for Guy Thompson.

Sarah Middleton? We're running DNA.

If he brought her here, we'll
find trace evidence of some kind.

Excellent.

CHEERING

Well done, well done.

Give me 15 minutes in a windowless
room with that freak.

Here we are. Thank you, sir.
Well done, well done.

They're saying she's going to be OK.

We can never thank you enough.

How can a woman be party to this?

Goes against nature, doesn't it?

Detective Inspector? Excuse me.

There is evidence of rape.

How much Kelly will remember
remains to be seen.

Was she drugged?

Is there any way
I can get to see her?

Two minutes.

Thank you.

Kelly?

Kelly?

Kelly?

It's OK, Kelly. Get out!

I'm a police officer.

Help! Help!

Get that man out of here!

Get that man out of here!

SHE CRIES AND WHIMPERS

You're OK, love. You're OK.

She says
she can remember him on top of her.

But that's it, that's all.

She didn't say anything
about his wife, Tania?

Thank you.

SHE SOBS

KNOCKING

Barbara, come in.

This is Derek Tripp from the CPS.

Hello.

So you're the one who saved the day?

Ah, well,
actually it was a team effort.

Sorry sir, where's DI Lynley?
I've already canvassed him on what
we're discussing today. Have a seat.

Thank you.

Derek?

Regarding the Sarah Middleton murder,

forensics are a complete
waste of time.

But the Commissioner has decreed it
politically unacceptable

for us to drop the Sarah Middleton
murder charge.

What makes you think I can help?

Reading your report, I detected some
sympathy with Tania's situation.

That you felt she was genuinely
coerced by her husband
into partaking in his crimes.

Er... Well, yeah. I did.

So you must be
uneasy about her

being charged with
identical offences?

Well, for what it's worth...

Yeah, I am uneasy.

You see her more as a victim
than, say, DI Lynley does?

Look, why don't you just tell me why
my opinion is suddenly so important?

If Tania testifies against Guy
in return for a reduced charge,

accessory, say, we don't want it
to come back to haunt us.

You've looked into the eyes
of liars and killers.

Your opinion counts for something.

Look, we're not going to make
a decision on your say-so alone.

But, based on your limited dealings,
is she deserving of an arrangement?

Erm... Well, based on
our limited dealings, then...

Well, I'd say yes, she is.

That's all we wanted to know.

DS Havers, a word.

Can you give us a minute
please, guys?

They're reducing Tania's charge
and granting her bail.

But then I'm not telling
you anything you didn't know.

Actually, you are.

How is the Assistant Commissioner?

I thought you'd be at the meeting.

You didn't think to call and check?
It's politics.

The Commissioner wants Guy
to face a murder charge.

They have no business negotiating
with that woman.

She says she only lured them to
the car but how do we know?

That she didn't kill Sarah or
take part in the sexual assaults?

What about innocent
until proven guilty?

Innocent? She trapped those girls
knowing what Guy had planned!

he had complete control over her,
physically and mentally.

You don't understand what that fear
and isolation... Because I'm a man?

Maybe! Oh, and she's a poor helpless
victim with no will of her own?
Isn't that just a little bit sexist?

You saw what he did to her face...
I'm not saying he wasn't abusive,

I'm saying...

it's not black and white. I didn't
say she shouldn't go unpunished.

She wants us to see it that way
and you have!

OK, if you have evidence
that she's lying,

you can stop the negotiations
any time.

Now there's an idea.

Role play.

Put yourself in their shoes.

Get a nose for their vulnerability,
find their weakness.

Not exactly how it goes,

but I'm thrilled
you took something from it.

I did, Guy. I took a lot from it.

I found your weakness.

We've been talking to your wife.

Or, rather,
your wife's been talking to us.

She says that in addition
to the abduction of Kelly,

you raped and
you murdered Sarah Middleton.

She says that you coerced her
into both the abductions
with threats of violence.

How do you think
we knew where Kelly was?

You went to my offices.

We'd never have found her that fast.
Deep down you know that, don't you?

Deep down, you know

that Tania has betrayed you.

For a woman who seemed so dependent,
so subservient.

What was it she called you? Master?

She's thinking for herself now.

Well, of herself.

Meaning what?

Meaning she planning to testify
against you, Guy.

She'll do two years, tops.

She wouldn't do that.

She'll be sharing her bed,
well, your bed, with the pool boy

while you spend the rest of your
life in a steel box,

hoping to God
the robbers don't find you.

Maybe you should write her one of
those grovelling letters

you used to make her write you?

She's lying!

The bitch is lying.

Well, you would say that.

If you hadn't found Kelly when
you did, Tania would've killed her.

No question.

I wanted to let her go but

Tania wouldn't because I'd had Kelly.

You see, I do actually believe you.

But no-one else will.

If another women so much as glanced
at me, she went crazy.

I mean, she actually went rigid,
like a wild animal.

Like she was going
to claw her eyes out.

She scared ME. So you didn't coerce

her, not even snatching Kelly?

Coerce her? It was her idea
to use the bloody A-Z!

That proved a lot.

I thought so. What exactly
were you doing in there?

Making sure Tania is the credible
witness everyone wants her to be.

By asking her abusive husband
for a character reference?

Do you want him to go down for
murder? I want them both to go down.

What, whatever it takes?

Don't be ridiculous.

PHONE RINGS

'Detective Inspector Lynley?'

Speaking.
'DS Mike Barksdale from Brighton.

'We got four unsolved rapes,
could fit the bill from when

Guy Thompson lived here.

'The last one happened right
on the seafront.' Any DNA?

'That's what makes us think
it's the same bloke.

'It's like you said - no hair,
no prints, not a speck of DNA.'

Right, I'm on my way.

Thank you.

You're kidding.

REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS

I tell you, I knew Guy was trouble.

I did.

But Tania always wanted
the good life.

That's called hindsight.

Why did she have to
go and live in London?

London wasn't the problem.

She met Guy in Brighton,
for God's sake.

I mean, why did she have to leave
home? Why did she have to...

Grow up?

Hi, Barbara. Come through.

Dad's a brick,
but Mum's gone to pieces.

Well, it's a lot to deal with.

She said this morning
it was as if she'd lost me.

It was no different to Alice dying.

That really hurt. You're here.
They haven't turned their back.

And I should be grateful for that?

Well, I wasn't saying that.

No, you're right.

Some parents would have.

Look, erm, I just want to go through
a few things in your statement
about Sarah Middleton.

Just so that when I question Guy,
there'll be no grey areas.

You're going to see Guy?
Yeah, at some point.

Alone?

Er, probably not.

But you said, "When I question Guy."
What is it, Tania?

It's just I'd feel a lot more
comfortable about it if there
were a male officer present.

I can take care of myself.

No, that's not what I mean.

Guy can be very...

hard to resist.

I would hate for anything
to come between us, Barbara.

What exactly are you suggesting?

Well, come on.
He's still my husband.

I'm allowed to be possessive,
aren't I?

Sure.

You think that's weird.

I think what's weird is that since
I've been here

you haven't asked once
how Kelly Stevens is doing.

You told me she was OK.

What? Yeah, no, that's right. I did.

Shall we go through my statement

now? No, I think that can wait.

I'll get back to you.

Thanks for the tea.

Is that Tania's cousin?

Tania told me about her.

Alice. Her name was Alice.

And whose side was she on?

Mine.

My sister had Alice young,
this was her home from home.

She died right there in my arms.

A seizure?
It wouldn't have happened.

She wasn't used to alcohol.

We were celebrating.

Guy's birthday.

I'll see myself out.

Barbara, I need to know
the exact date that
Guy and Tania got together.

Why? There were four unsolved rapes
in Brighton during the time
that Guy lived here.

One victim claimed
there were two people,

a man and a woman, and the
woman videoed the whole thing.

Right here,

right under the pier.

'I'm not saying it was Tania.'

No, you don't have to persuade me.

'Good.

'Thank you.'

Sir, the other day you put me on
the spot and asked me if I thought

Tania was a credible witness.

Well, to answer that question,

we have to dig up the body

of her cousin, Alice.

Based on? Based on the fact that
she was beautiful, 16 and died

whilst under the same roof
as Guy Thompson.

You said she died at Tania's
parents' house?

They'd thrown a party for Guy
and Alice was invited.

The parents went to bed.
Guy, Tania, and Alice all stayed up.

According to?

Their statements at the inquest.

Later, Alice is unconscious
and Guy calls an ambulance.

I've read the report.

It's sketchy to say the least.

No-one even checked
for sexual assault.

Epileptic seizure was
a best guess cause of death.

This lesion on her mouth was
put down to an unsuccessful

resuscitation attempt.

What does it look like to you?

Her skin reacting to something.

If the body's well preserved,
toxicology may be able to say what.

So you want an exhumation order?

Well, if anyone can twist
the coroner's arm, it's you.

Why will I need to twist his arm?
We want to circumvent
family approval.

Tania can't know what we're doing
till we're good and ready, Sir.

First impressions are
she's pretty well preserved.

If I get tox samples in,
we should have results this evening.

'I'll let you know as soon as.'

Thanks, Lafferty.

Third anniversary of first meeting.

Six month wedding anniversary.

Christmas Eve, Christmas Day,
Boxing Day. Is there anything

they didn't deem video-worthy?

That's it.

That's what we're missing.

PHONE RINGS

Lafferty. Hold on a minute.

OK, go ahead. Anything? 'You bet.'

Samples from the remnants of Alice's
lungs and throat tested positive
for antidepressants and pethidine.

What's that? A tranquilizer.

Tricky to get if you're not a doctor.

She worked in a chemist.

She's lifted them from
the supplies.

Her own cousin.
A birthday present for Guy.

The combination of antidepressants
and pethidine

plus the fact that she'd been
drinking, I mean,

even if they didn't plan to kill her,

they were playing with fire.

Thanks, Stuart.

You could do this over the phone,
you know.

No, face to face she's more likely
to believe we're friends again.

DOORBELL RINGS

I didn't mean to be judgemental
about you not asking after Kelly.

No, I should have.

No, you had a lot on your mind.

Nothing like
what she's going through.

Listen, Tania,

I shouldn't really be telling you
this but I want you to be prepared.

For what?

Well, Guy has started to talk
and I know that you still have

feelings for him. And I understand.

What?

What's Guy been saying?
Well, he's saying...

He's saying that you were
as involved as him

and that there's tapes to prove it.

What?

Well, exactly. No-one believes him,
but you might be questioned on it

at some point.

OK. Well,
thanks for letting me know.

No problem.
Look, I've got to get back but
I'll come and see you soon, yeah?

I'd like that.

You're a good person, Barbara.

You're a really good person.

See you.

There she goes.

Thank you for bringing those to our
attention.

Get off me!

Sarah, Kelly, Alice.

Your cousin.

Alice was an accident.

Sarah killed herself,

and Kelly's making a full recovery.

So what exactly do you think
you've got on us, huh?

Huh?

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday Mr Thompson

# Happy birthday to you. #

Tania, you are depraved.

And I love you for it.

Love you too, birthday boy.

How long have I got?

This stuff knocks horses out,

Alice is going to be in Wonderland
for quite a while.

I know we have to watch this stuff
some time but...

Yeah, not now.

She really played me.

If you hadn't got so close to her,
we'd never have found Kelly.

It was all part of her plan, though.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

You saved her life, Barbara.

Anyway, they're both going down now.
For good.

All right, sir.

Just don't say, "I told you so."
