00:00You know Jack Cornishwell?
00:01Yeah, I worked with him for three years.
00:03He's having an affair with Tara Faulkner.
00:05Peter Faulkner's wife?
00:09It's all kicking off in there.
00:11D.C. Grey is your right-hand man, in Hathaway's absence.
00:14I'm going on holiday for a week. I'm not joining the Foreign Legion.
00:17Mr. Strickley was in that coffin.
00:19I brought him in it.
00:20Why would anyone steal a body?
00:22Why, indeed. It's nothing to do with us.
00:24He was poisoned.
00:25Formaldehyde.
00:26Embalming fluid.
00:27Number 99, ambulance!
00:29Come on, son. Stay with me.
00:56You've not been in here all night.
00:58Just got here.
01:00I thought maybe he'd be up to talking, but...
01:01They've sedated him.
01:03He won't be saying anything at all for now.
01:06When I asked, they wouldn't tell me anything.
01:08You've not got the knack yet.
01:09Little cunt.
01:18Liam always picks up straight away, but I've texted him and left messages.
01:21Oh, he'll be back.
01:22He said he was gonna do something. The police or something.
01:25He's so messed up.
01:26You all right, ladies?
01:27Yes, thanks.
01:30Ruth?
01:30Fine, thanks. Just feeling a bit fragile.
01:57What the hell?
02:15It's not real, sir. Electronic.
02:17Right.
02:19Trying to kick the habit, sir.
02:21Sorry.
02:27So you think it was someone trying to shut Liam up, sir?
02:30Tried to kill him.
02:32Usually has that effect.
02:34So he might know who stole the body from the undertakers.
02:37Yeah, or who they cremated in its place.
02:40Or he might know something about Dr. Whitby's murder.
02:43I'll try and trace his next of kin, sir.
02:45And his girlfriend.
02:47Wait, she's not a relative.
02:48Don't want him waking up on his own.
02:50He's only a lad.
02:57Have you got plans for today?
03:08Thought I'd go to lunch with my brother.
03:11Oh, for God's sake.
03:14We haven't been able to speak to Jack.
03:25Well, we don't know where he is.
03:27But I think he might have stumbled across some criminal activity.
03:31Who wouldn't have reported it?
03:32No, it's just a theory.
03:36But he always said that whatever you did, you had to be part of a team.
03:39And you had to have your mates there backing you up.
03:47I can see it in your eyes.
03:48You think something terrible's happened.
03:50No, listen, Pep.
03:51We don't know what's happened yet.
03:53But we will find out.
03:57This is our first clear link between the stolen body at the Undertaker and the murder of Dr. Whitby.
04:03So this is the night before Neil Strickley's funeral and three nights after the dinner party.
04:08Yeah, this is the main street.
04:10And this is Dr. Whitby.
04:13I.T. managed to clean it up a bit.
04:15But it took him 38 minutes to travel between the two cameras, about 300 yards.
04:20So he was at Miller's for a good half an hour.
04:22Enough time to take one body out of a coffin and put another one in its place.
04:27I've ordered a deep search of Whitby's house to see if we can work out what he was up to.
04:34How well do you know Liam Jay?
04:36Not at all.
04:38This has nothing to do with me, Inspector.
04:40Whatever's going on?
04:41You lose a body.
04:43Someone in your employ is the last person to see a murder victim alive.
04:47The murder weapon is embalming fluid.
04:50Now, if somebody tries to kill Liam on your premises...
04:53Yes, Grey.
04:58Ruth Wilson, yeah?
05:01She's probably at the university.
05:03OK, well, when you do find her, take her straight to the hospital.
05:07And on the way, try and find out if she knows what it was that Liam was trying to tell us.
05:13Can you take this?
05:14Yeah, I'll drive with this.
05:18I apologize for not returning your essays.
05:22A close friend of mine has died.
05:25And it's rather thrown my routine.
05:29Unexpectedly.
05:31One lectures about life-changing events, but when it actually...
05:35Come in.
05:38Ah.
05:40The police have arrived.
05:41Is this a bust, officer?
05:43Uh, Ruth Wilson?
05:45Not with this group, I'm afraid.
05:47Does anyone know where she is?
05:49And you have a right to that information, because...
05:53Just tell her that her boyfriend's in a critical condition.
05:55She's to call us.
05:56Thank you.
05:58Where is he?
06:00Which hospital?
06:02What's happened to him?
06:04He's one of my students.
06:06Or was.
06:07If something's...
06:08I'm sorry, I can't give any information.
06:12You were at Corby Manse, the night of the dinner party.
06:15What's happened to Liam?
06:17How will he know him?
06:18He's my student.
06:20But he was there that night, wasn't he?
06:22Yes.
06:23Him and his father.
06:26If it wasn't for D.C. Gray here, we still wouldn't know anything about Johnny Jay, would we?
06:31It was an oversight.
06:32Good God.
06:33Of course it was.
06:35You know, the more I investigate who was in the coffin at Mrs. Strickley's funeral,
06:39the more involved you seem to be.
06:41I remembered the waiters.
06:42I forgot about Johnny Jay.
06:43He was always there, like the wallpaper.
06:46It was an oversight.
06:47So how do I get in touch with him?
06:49No idea.
06:50He was a drinker.
06:51He falls off the wagon from time to time and vanishes.
06:54He was stinking of booze all through the party.
06:55I doubt if you remember anything about it.
06:57So you have no idea where he might be?
07:02Rat arsed in a bar somewhere.
07:04That's very helpful, sir.
07:06Thank you.
07:08Oh, look.
07:09Your ferret's not doing very well.
07:11Losing his teeth.
07:17The young lad who waited on you that night is fighting for his life in intensive care.
07:22I'm getting very tired of secrets.
07:24I need to know where you and Jack Cornish went that evening.
07:27After your party, the evening of the 17th.
07:30Jack's flat.
07:32The next morning, we drove to the Lake District.
07:35Why there?
07:36My aunt has a cottage.
07:38It's empty.
07:39I know where she keeps the key.
07:41Did anybody see you arrive?
07:42No.
07:44We stayed for one night, and that was it.
07:47He wasn't my handsome prince after all.
07:50Just another frog.
07:52I went to Barcelona.
07:54Not Croatia?
07:55God, no.
07:57It's not my idea of relaxation.
08:00I've no idea where he went.
08:05Really.
08:06I've no idea.
08:10Sir.
08:11Found it in Dr. Whitby's bedroom, sir.
08:16Who are they from?
08:18Unsigned.
08:19No clues on the envelope, sir.
08:21And just two sets of fingerprints.
08:22One's Whitby, and the other's not known.
08:26There's no doubt.
08:27Three tests and all positive.
08:30You need to deal with this.
08:32I don't want to cause you embarrassment,
08:33but I will if I have to.
08:35You have to acknowledge this child.
08:50Another one dated three months ago.
08:52Beautiful little girl.
08:53Perfect.
08:54Never breathed.
09:01Stillborn baby.
09:05Whitby was obviously worse than useless.
09:07Tell them to keep searching his house, his car, everything.
09:11No stone unturned.
09:13When your child is born dead, do you really
09:16head off and kill the father?
09:19Maybe not, but he was killed.
09:22Maybe her grief and anger was motive enough.
09:26Cold fish, Whitby.
09:28We know from the CCTV that he was
09:30involved with a body swap.
09:31You say that like it's an achievement.
09:33We still don't know why or who he swapped the body with.
09:37First thing he said, get rid of it.
09:41I'll book you in.
09:43And your baby was stillborn at the beginning of last year?
09:48Three days after my 44th birthday.
09:50Yesterday, my perfect little last chance baby, Ellen Mary.
10:00But you were still friendly with the father, with Dr. Whitby?
10:05When he couldn't get a date with anyone else,
10:06he'd settle for me.
10:09He'd turn up usually unannounced, usually late,
10:12usually a bit pissed.
10:16How humiliating is that?
10:20When was the last time you saw him?
10:22Oh, that awful supper party.
10:24I told him I was.
10:27He'd gone down to the cellar to get more wine.
10:31I told him I was pregnant again.
10:33He laughed.
10:34Said he wasn't even sure Ellen ever existed.
10:38I slapped him.
10:40And are you pregnant?
10:43I'm going to have a baby, though.
10:46I'm going to adopt.
10:50She'll be lucky.
10:51Single woman, mid-40s, with a history
10:54of recent child bereavement.
10:55Yeah, wishful thinking.
10:58She has an alibi for Matt Whitby's time of death.
11:00Yeah, and no way, really, of getting
11:02a hold of any embalming fluid.
11:04So back to square one, who was in the coffin?
11:07Who killed the baby?
11:09Back to square one, who was in the coffin?
11:12Who killed Matt Whitby?
11:13Who tried to kill Liam Jay?
11:15What has Jack Cornish got to do with any of this?
11:18Tell you one thing, I'd murder a curry.
11:40Oh, hang on.
11:43Have we got a minute to make a little detour?
11:45Is it the scenic route?
11:48Ruth Wilson, she lives on a boat down here.
11:51I've not been able to contact her all day,
11:53so she doesn't know about Liam yet.
11:55Come on.
12:14Out of step.
12:17That's a good sign, Alice.
12:26Be careful, Robbie.
12:27There'll be gas bubbles.
12:35There's a fire brigade.
12:36There's a fire on a boat near Luke Lane.
12:56Liam.
13:02Someone attacked Liam to try and stop him talking to us.
13:07And then they tried to do the same thing to you.
13:10I don't know anything.
13:11Liam didn't tell you anything?
13:14Maybe something about Neil Strickley's body going missing?
13:19That day of the funeral, when Liam got to Miller's,
13:23the body was already in the coffin.
13:26He said he went to check the name tags,
13:28but Miller stopped him, said he'd done all of that,
13:32said he'd come in early to get a head start.
13:35And that was unusual.
13:38Was that all?
13:39No.
13:40There was something else, but I don't know what it was.
13:44He was upset about something.
13:46He kept saying it was too horrible.
13:51You know Liam Starr?
13:53Johnny, yeah.
13:55Any idea where he might have gone?
13:57No.
13:58Off on a binge?
14:00No.
14:01No, he was doing really well.
14:03He'd been sober for months.
14:06I was here yesterday.
14:07I took a phone call.
14:09You overheard it.
14:10Well, yes, but...
14:11You knew I wanted to speak to Ruth Wilson.
14:15Who did you tell?
14:16No one.
14:17Why would I?
14:18What interest is she to me?
14:20The morning of the funeral that never was,
14:23who identified Neil Strickley?
14:24I've told you a dozen times.
14:26Yeah, well, tell me again.
14:27And this time, tell me why you didn't want Liam Jay to see the body.
14:30What?
14:31Was it because you knew fine well that the body had been switched?
14:34No.
14:35No.
14:36Where were you between 9 and 10 last night?
14:38What?
14:39Why?
14:40Where were you?
14:41There was a civic do.
14:43A civic do?
14:44You can ask anyone.
14:45And what time did you leave?
14:47Midnight.
14:48I was on the top table.
14:49Why?
14:50Someone tried to kill Ruth Wilson, Liam's girlfriend.
14:53Why would I want to kill a student I barely know?
14:56The Faulkners own 80% of your business.
14:59If Peter Faulkner asked you to do something, would you do it?
15:04He doesn't give me orders.
15:05We're in equal partnership.
15:07And friends.
15:09Yes.
15:14Oh.
15:19Dr. Barnes.
15:20I came as soon as I heard.
15:22That was, I, thank you.
15:25You didn't have to.
15:27What have they said?
15:28No long term damage?
15:30No, none.
15:33Good.
15:35Well, home.
15:36I've got a lift coming.
15:37Oh, no need.
15:38I'm going back anyway, so.
15:40Yeah, really.
15:42Home time.
15:43That body won't neck itself.
15:45The last thing she should be doing in her condition
15:47is necking vodka.
15:48I'm ready.
15:49They said I can see Liam later.
15:50I found a room for you at the college as her post grads.
15:54It's lovely.
15:56No, it's all arranged.
15:59Sorry.
16:02But thank you for coming.
16:04Sokov's turned up some more interesting finds
16:06at Dr. Whitby's house, ma'am.
16:08Better late than never.
16:09He was a vegetarian.
16:10Lifelong.
16:11Wouldn't have meat in his fridge.
16:12But under all his rubbish, two bloodstained plastic bags.
16:14But they're analyzing them now.
16:16Sneaky pork chop?
16:17Maybe.
16:18But we're starting to see a few chinks of light now, ma'am.
16:20Like?
16:21Well, Peter Faulkner reckons that Johnny J
16:23was drunk the night of the party.
16:25But according to Ruth Wilson, he's
16:26been sober for months now.
16:28I don't think so.
16:31But according to Ruth Wilson, he's been sober for months.
16:34Now, if Johnny killed somebody that night.
16:36Possibly Cornish.
16:37Well, I think we can say probably now, ma'am.
16:39And then went on to kill Dr. Whitby.
16:41I reckon it's possible he's hiding out
16:43at that Croatian farmhouse.
16:45I'm going to put through a call to Pristina.
16:47Where's that?
16:48Where we just happened to have a man twiddling his thumbs.
16:54Good idea.
16:55Good idea.
16:56Bang, bang.
16:58Me put it here, yes.
17:00Bang, bang, no.
17:01Yawn, yawn.
17:03Bang, bang.
17:04Bang, bang.
17:06Princess.
17:11Bang, bang.
17:12Bang, bang.
17:13Bang.
17:14Bang, bang.
17:16You called, sir?
17:17Ah, you're up.
17:18Great.
17:19What's the time difference?
17:20About a century.
17:22And you're in Pristina, yeah?
17:24Yeah.
17:25Right.
17:26I'm going to get down to the central nick.
17:28Which is on?
17:30Oh, hang on.
17:32Yeah.
17:33It's on the Luan Haradinaj, however you say it.
17:36Sir, I've got a very busy schedule.
17:38Yeah, it won't take long.
17:39I'm going to fax you a photo of Johnny J.
17:42Who is?
17:43A possible witness.
17:44Well, possibly even a person of interest.
17:46In what?
17:47In an investigation.
17:48Keep up.
17:49Or do you want me to interview him?
17:50Well, just ask him a couple of questions.
17:52I'll also send you a few notes.
17:54That's a summary of where we are so far.
17:56I'm on holiday.
17:57Yeah, it won't take long.
17:59You need to get to a farmhouse just outside Split.
18:02Split?
18:03Yeah, I think that's what it's called, isn't it?
18:05Yeah, that's right.
18:06Split.
18:07You know Split's in another country?
18:09Only recently.
18:10A couple of 20 years ago, it was all one big happy family.
18:12Sir.
18:13Listen, I'll clear it with Innocent.
18:15Get you an extra couple of days.
18:17I don't want an extra couple of days.
18:18Oh, brilliant.
18:19No problem, then.
18:20Thanks for this.
18:21Appreciate it.
18:24Bang, bang!
18:25Bang, bang!
18:26Bang, bang!
18:27Bang, bang!
18:42He didn't tell you to get stuffed?
18:43Oh, it was there.
18:44In the subtext.
18:48Are you OK?
18:49Mm.
18:51They gave me a once-over at the hospital.
18:53No, not that, Robbie.
18:55You.
18:56Yeah.
18:57You know me.
18:58I'm always all right.
18:59Would you tell me if you weren't?
19:02All this funeral stuff was getting to you?
19:04It's not.
19:05Reminding you of Val?
19:09It doesn't seem to get any easier, does it?
19:11Well, that's it.
19:13It does.
19:15I was stood outside the Krem the other day
19:17watching that poor family in pieces
19:19and waiting for the pain.
19:23Val's slipping away.
19:27Time's passing.
19:28There's nothing you can do about that.
19:30It doesn't mean that you can't.
19:31Yeah, I know.
19:32At first it felt like a betrayal, but...
19:35No.
19:37I'm just...
19:38turning over the page on a new chapter.
19:42Right.
19:53No.
20:11Why are you a murderer?
20:23No.
20:46Well, well.
20:48Sergeant...
20:49Don't tell me I'll never forget a face.
20:52Hathaway.
21:17Hey.
21:19So you dumped me.
21:21Last chance to loom me.
21:27Well, that just about decides it, ma'am.
21:29Tara's alive, Jack's alive.
21:31The only person still missing from the 17th is Johnny J.
21:35So he's the body in the coffin.
21:39Don't tell his son until we've got all the facts.
21:42What are we doing about Jack Cornish?
21:44Refusing to come home.
21:46Can't Hathaway interview him in situ, find out what he's doing there?
21:49Cornish told Hathaway to put all his questions in writing,
21:52shut the door in his face.
21:53And did he put the questions in writing?
21:56He's on holiday, ma'am.
21:57Oh, for God's sake.
21:59So can we now stop pretending that Cornish is Dixon of Dock Green?
22:03Yes, ma'am.
22:05So you were told to meet your father at the Undertaker's in the evening.
22:09You didn't think that was odd?
22:11Well, when your dad's Johnny J, you sort of get used to weird stuff.
22:14And you're sure the message was from him?
22:15Yeah.
22:16There are the text alerts, whiskey in the jar.
22:18I'll show you.
22:20You didn't have a phone when we found you.
22:23So when you got there, what happened?
22:25I remember all the breath going out to me, then nothing.
22:30Have you heard from my dad? Why isn't he here?
22:33We don't know where he is, son. I'm sorry.
22:36But the texts...
22:37Could we talk about Dr Whitby again?
22:41He was great, Dr Whitby.
22:43He's the only one who listened.
22:45That's why you went to see him the night he died? To talk to him?
22:50Tell me why you went, Liam.
22:53Why was it so urgent?
22:56He...
22:59He gives me diazepam.
23:01Ever since my mum died.
23:03My dad went to pieces, so I was all alone.
23:08Dr Whitby, he helped me.
23:10By getting you hooked on prescription drugs?
23:14On the night he died?
23:16I'd run out of pills. He got me some more.
23:20That's something you're not telling me, isn't there?
23:23No.
23:35Thanks.
23:36Thanks.
23:39Heartless attacking two kids, eh?
23:41Well, I can't say who'd want to.
23:44Nice kids, too.
23:46Hard-working lad. Do anything to earn an ex...
23:52Should I be getting on with something?
23:54Repatriation.
23:57Miller brings bodies back from abroad.
23:59Ex-pats, people who've died on their holidays.
24:03Just in time. Hathaway.
24:06Morning, Sergeant.
24:08Do you know how hard it is reading road signs in Serbo-Croat?
24:11I had a weekend in Wales once.
24:13It's amusing, sir.
24:14I popped into the police station.
24:16Any of them speak English?
24:17Yeah, better than I speak Serbo-Croat, fortunately.
24:20They came round straight away.
24:21They'd been watching the place for months, just looking for an excuse.
24:24Here, I'm going to put you on loudspeaker.
24:27Laura Hobson's here, so mind your language.
24:29Morning.
24:30Hello, James.
24:31Morning.
24:32Hello, James. You having a good time?
24:33Yeah, can we do all that when he gets back?
24:35Crystal mess, sir. The farmhouse is a crystal mess factory.
24:39Well, well.
24:40No wonder the Falkmers have such big, fat bank balances.
24:43Yeah, they ship the stuff all over Europe.
24:45So, where's Cornish now?
24:47Rotting in some Serbo-Croat cell.
24:49Vanished. Ten minutes after he saw me, probably.
24:51Right, I'll make sure we put a watch on all the airports and ferries.
24:56You ever tried one of these electronic cigarettes?
24:59Sorry?
25:00Hope you give up the habit.
25:02You ever tried one?
25:03No.
25:04Well, you should.
25:09How much crystal mess do you reckon you could hide in a coffin?
25:21Let's start off with funerals for ex-pat, shall we?
25:25You won't find anything wrong there.
25:27We've got a private ambulance, a coffin, all the way from the Costa del Sol,
25:32and the cremation itself for £3,000?
25:35Seems very reasonable.
25:37How do you manage to do it that cheap?
25:39Well, by bringing them over land.
25:41That's what makes it cheap, isn't it, Brian?
25:44Cheaper than a flight, and couriers, and insurance, and...
25:48Do you want to fetch your jacket?
25:50Sir, crystals, sir.
25:52Only traces, but they've gone for analysis.
25:54Crystals as in crystal meth?
25:58You bastard! You lying bastard!
26:01I knew there was something wrong with him, I knew it!
26:03I'd have clipped a little finger if he did you!
26:07Take him in.
26:08Might do him good to stare at four walls for a while, think about life.
26:11I'll get round to him later.
26:14That's the hard stuff, isn't it?
26:16He was also against drugs.
26:18Well, he was against a lot of things.
26:20Metamphetamine.
26:22More addictive than heroin.
26:25Cheap to make, just cruel stuff.
26:27And you're sure that he's involved in it?
26:30God.
26:32Well, at least I know he's alive.
26:34He's not fleeing or some sort of midlife madness.
26:36He's not sick or dead, he just doesn't want me.
26:39Stupid man.
26:40He'll look back and regret this.
26:43What am I going to tell the boys?
26:46I'm not a single parent, Robbie.
26:48How am I going to stop being half a couple?
26:53You'll get there.
26:55Well, I'm never going to love anyone again, I know that much.
27:03Jack Cornish didn't just fall into drugs, did he?
27:06Through poverty or a chaotic life, he walked in with his eyes wide open.
27:11Knowing people are going to die, lives are going to be ruined.
27:15And he just didn't care.
27:17Didn't care?
27:18Well, you'll put a stop to that.
27:20Well, he closed the factory.
27:22Still got Neil Faulkner and his mates.
27:25You will.
27:28When I do, do you fancy a ride one night after work?
27:32A ride?
27:33What?
27:35I mean a bike ride.
27:37There's a bike hire shop.
27:40Robbie, you on a bike?
27:44Hmm.
27:48Oh.
28:09Dr Barnes.
28:10Welcome to your new home.
28:13You can't sleep on someone's sofa forever.
28:16Oh, you got me this room.
28:19I spoke to the accommodation office, yes.
28:22Now, tea? Coffee?
28:25They didn't just transport and smuggle the stuff, Ma.
28:28They made it, too.
28:29Cutting out the middle man, making them all extremely rich.
28:32Just crystal meth?
28:33Yeah, we've traced three bank accounts, all in various names,
28:37but all leading back to Dr Matt Whitby,
28:39with large sums deposited every month or so.
28:42Then the next day, the money's transferred out abroad.
28:45We lose sight of it.
28:47And the Faulkners?
28:48They're two separate accounts, both emptied regularly, just like Whitby's.
28:54Excuse me.
28:57Can you spare a minute, Ma?
29:12Thank you.
29:20I should probably get some sleep.
29:22The doctor said I should rest.
29:24Yes, of course.
29:28It's all right.
29:30I know.
29:32I know everything.
29:35And I'll help you.
29:37I mean, I can do more than help.
29:39You can take the whole problem out of your hands if that's what you want.
29:44My baby died.
29:47Our baby, Matt and me.
29:50Oh, I'm sorry.
29:54Are you all right?
29:56And you can see her whenever you like.
30:00Or never, if you like.
30:05Did you set fire to my boat?
30:07No.
30:11Now, don't upset yourself.
30:13No, you mustn't upset yourself.
30:15Think of the baby.
30:17Well, there is no baby.
30:21You lost it?
30:23No, I...
30:25I'm on the pill. I've...
30:27I've never been pregnant.
30:32Turns out it's human blood, Mum, from two different people
30:35found in Matt Whitby's dustbin.
30:38I don't...
30:39The blood was on the outside of the bags.
30:41Right.
30:42And on the inside, crystal meth, Mum.
30:45Yeah, if that's what they were smuggling.
30:47Where does the blood come in from?
30:48Not just blood, Mum.
30:49Liver cells found on the outside of one bag.
30:52Bringing ex-pats home to their loved ones.
30:54There's a little cursory check in customs,
30:56but nobody wants dogs scrambling all over a coffin, do they?
30:59Go outside for five minutes and have a pretend fight.
31:06They embalmed the bodies, Mum,
31:08so that if a customs officer was a bit too officious,
31:11the chemicals would put the dog up.
31:14The bags were smuggled in body cavities.
31:18They packed the corpses with drugs.
31:22You were so happy and so excited
31:25and that morning not feeling well, and I...
31:30And they say it, don't they? They say blooming.
31:35And you were blooming.
31:39And then the rowan, he was ruining your life.
31:43And I thought, what a stupid, stupid me.
31:48I thought...
31:51I hoped...
31:58Six repatriations this year.
32:00And every time you're asked to fetch some ex-pat home for cremation,
32:04you give the Faulkners the details.
32:06My solicitor? Yeah, he's on his way.
32:08You travelled out of the body,
32:10they got the drugs to you in Spain or wherever,
32:13so you could do the surgery.
32:15Pretty gruesome branch of a pretty filthy trade.
32:18Sir, the phone we found at Mr Miller's desk.
32:21We charged it up.
32:26How do you explain it?
32:29World Cup.
32:31I've never seen it before. Your prints are all over it.
32:34You sent Matt Whitby that text.
32:36You made it possible for the body swap.
32:39You're the lynchpin of this smuggling ring.
32:42How many years do you reckon so far?
32:46Peter Faulkner made pretty damn sure
32:48that it'd be you ending up sitting in that seat talking to me, didn't he?
32:52Time to stop doing his bidding.
32:54Look after yourself.
33:01There was Johnny J in the coffin.
33:04He got drunk, took a load of drugs.
33:06That's what he did.
33:08He was out of control.
33:10He had a heart attack.
33:12A heart attack? They lied to you.
33:15You must realise that by now.
33:17Result from Socko, sir.
33:19Right.
33:21I'm going to leave you to think about things for a few minutes.
33:24Consider your future.
33:32There comes a time when you have to accept that the game is up.
33:36I went to Split on holiday.
33:38I stayed in a friend's house, and that's it.
33:41Following the party at Corby Manse,
33:43why did you scurry off to Croatia?
33:45Sex with Tara Faulkner, mostly.
33:48She says she went to Barcelona.
33:51She must have called in on the way back.
33:53No idea.
33:55What were you running from?
33:57There was a fight after the dinner party, wasn't there?
34:00Not as far as I know.
34:02Why choose Croatia?
34:05Why not? Sun. Cheap wine.
34:07And a crystal meth factory.
34:09It's news to me.
34:12Look, I was just trying to get my head together
34:14after my marriage broke down.
34:16I blame the job, you know?
34:20Inspector Lewis couldn't believe anything bad about you.
34:25Robbie Lewis and the Lady Bird Book of Policing.
34:31We're making enquiries with the border agency,
34:33so we'll soon know where you went and when you went.
34:36Border agency? You'll be lucky.
34:40You know what happens to a police officer in prison.
34:44That's why I'm not going there.
35:01We've just had the findings from an examination of your house,
35:04Mrs Faulkner.
35:06Blood, hair, scuff marks.
35:09Oh, I don't know anything about that.
35:11And we have a missing man.
35:13Luckily, we also have his son.
35:16So it should be easy to check the DNA.
35:21Who killed him, Tara? You or Peter?
35:24No comment.
35:26Brian Miller told your brother how to get into the funeral parlour.
35:30A clumsy code for 1966.
35:33You and I both know that forensics are going to tell us
35:36that Johnny Jay was killed in your house.
35:39A week later, your brother's dead.
35:42These things must be linked.
35:46We don't know why Johnny was killed yet, but we will find out.
35:50Good. That's what you get paid for, after all.
35:53Peter and Matt never really got on, did they?
35:57I think Peter killed Johnny.
36:01And you and your brother were a pal, but you never signed up for murder.
36:05And Cornish, for all he was a corrupt copper,
36:08well, he didn't want to know about murder either.
36:11So you had a row with your husband, and you went off with Cornish.
36:15But your brother, he was so angry about Johnny's death,
36:20he was so angry about Johnny's death that he couldn't leave it alone.
36:25Maybe even threatened to tell us what had happened.
36:28Whatever he said.
36:30Your husband went to Matt's surgery and killed him.
36:34I don't believe you.
36:36Got your brother very drunk.
36:38He forced Matt to swallow a cocktail of drugs.
36:42Not a pleasant way to go.
36:44Whiskey dribbled down his shirt front.
36:47Half-dissolved tablets in his mouth, down his throat, choking on them.
36:51Struggling.
36:53Your husband put his hands either side of his neck
36:56to force him back into a sitting position.
36:59And when your brother was too drunk to fight any more,
37:02Peter poured formaldehyde down his throat.
37:07Embalming fluid.
37:09The brother you loved.
37:12My husband killed Johnny Jay.
37:14Mrs Faulkner...
37:15Johnny knew nothing about the crystal meth,
37:17but he found a notebook my idiot husband had kept.
37:20Consignments, the dates, everything.
37:23Johnny didn't know what the stuff was, but he knew it had to be drugs.
37:26And the dates would tally with Liam's trips out of the country.
37:29Johnny was threatening to go to the police.
37:32He turned to go, and my husband hit him. Hard.
37:36That really is enough, Mrs Faulkner.
37:38Hit him with...?
37:39A stone doorstop thing.
37:42And then you had the brilliant idea to switch the bodies?
37:45They did that together, Mert and Peter.
37:48Peter was supposed to bury the other body.
37:51But he's so useless he couldn't even do that properly.
37:54He said he'd been interrupted.
37:56The fly-tippers.
37:58And then he tried to kill Ruth,
38:01in case Liam had told her something.
38:04And that was my fault too.
38:07I told him that Liam was waiting to talk to you.
38:11So much of this is my fault.
38:42When Johnny realised his son had been used as smuggle drugs,
38:47he went mad.
38:51Threatened to go to the police.
38:53He was raging.
38:58So I shut him up.
39:00No-one else would.
39:02But, of course, that was wrong,
39:05according to the great humanities.
39:08Wrong, according to the great humanitarian Matt Whitby.
39:14Then when you found the other body and came sniffing around,
39:17he wouldn't shut up.
39:20Fuck. Bully boy. Psycho.
39:26He threatened to feed me to the wolves.
39:32You lot.
39:34I just wanted to kill him.
39:39So I did.
39:43You killed Johnny Jay and Matt Whitby?
39:46Yep.
39:47Because they threatened your drug-smuggling operation?
39:51Yep.
39:52And Brian Miller's role?
39:55He embalmed the bodies, packed them with the drugs,
39:57then got them out again this end.
39:59While you sat back and raked in the cash?
40:02I financed the thing, didn't I?
40:04That was my bit.
40:07Crystal meth, made in Eastern Europe,
40:10supplied to the holiday hotspots.
40:13One body packed with two kilos could net us 80,000 quid.
40:17How long would it take you to earn that?
40:21And Cornish?
40:23How did he fit into this?
40:25The wife's a little bit of rough.
40:29He left me here
40:32To ramble on
40:35My ramblin' pal
40:38Is dead and gone
40:41And when we die
40:44He'll be somewhere
40:47I'll bet you a dollar
40:50He's ramblin' there
40:53He's ramblin' there
41:03I told Dr Whitby I'd seen someone unloading something at Miller's.
41:07Did you see who it was?
41:09Just a van.
41:11Shadows.
41:13I thought it might have been a body, but it was so odd.
41:17And then you came round asking questions and I didn't know what to do.
41:21If in doubt, tell the police.
41:24I was going to, but Dr Whitby said Dad was involved.
41:28Up to his neck in a drugs racket.
41:33Your dad didn't do anything wrong, Liam.
41:36He died because he cared about you.
41:51A drink, for old time's sake?
41:53There isn't a spoon long enough.
41:55For supping with the devil?
41:57Very good, Robbie.
41:59Almost witty.
42:01You do know that from now on, everybody in the force will be on your back?
42:05You'll have to find me first.
42:07See you.
42:13A battle between an owl and a ferret.
42:16Which one would win?
42:18I'm allergic to fur, sir, and feather.
42:24You did okay in spite of it.
42:27So, who would win, sir?
42:31The one with the dull car, the cheap shoes, and the raging thirst.
42:49Cheers, son.
42:52Oh, here he is, the boy from one day.
42:55I thought you had another three days, James.
42:57I knew he'd be bored out of his skull without me.
43:00Not far wrong, sir.
43:01Here, I'll get you a drink.
43:02No, no, you...
43:03No, you...
43:04Sit down.
43:08Well, I've enjoyed being the inspector's sidekick.
43:11It's been all right, hasn't it?
43:14Don't listen to anything he says. He's been a lonely little soul without you.
43:21I've been thinking about doing that all day.
43:25Same here.
43:33Evening.
43:37James, gosh, your sunburned.
43:39Thank you.
43:41I'll get the drinks, then.
43:43No, no, we'll both get them.
43:46You can have that one.
43:52How long?
43:54I turn my back for five minutes.
44:04It was good of you, but we could have got a taxi.
44:06You'll have a load of stuff to sort out with the coroner in the next few days.
44:09Take my advice.
44:11If anyone holds out a helping hand...
44:13Grab it.
44:15My dad died suddenly, too.
44:17I was 16.
44:18Police and coroners and all that.
44:21Did someone hold out a hand to you?
44:23Yes.
44:24A policeman.
44:26A Geordie.
44:28Is that why you became a police officer?
44:30Yeah.
44:31He doesn't remember it.
44:34I'll never forget.
44:41I'll never forget.
45:12A brand-new episode of Lewis starts next week.
45:16David Baddiel and the Hill Secretary Jeremy Hunt join Tom Bradby
45:21for a brand-new series of The Agenda after the news at ten.
45:25And a defence barrister is asked to defend a pal for a murder
45:28he swears he never committed.
45:30Injustice over on ITV3 now.
45:41.
