00:03:18I don't want those.
00:03:20It's the files on the Craven case.
00:03:22And?
00:03:24And so I thought you'd want them.
00:03:26Well, I don't.
00:03:29Lewis.
00:03:30Sir.
00:03:34When did she go missing?
00:03:36About six months ago.
00:03:37Yes, yes, the date.
00:03:39Well, I don't know exactly.
00:03:40I'd have to check in the file.
00:03:42What's all this about Flo, Lewis?
00:03:44I don't know.
00:03:45I don't know.
00:03:46I don't know.
00:03:47I don't know.
00:03:48I don't know.
00:03:49I don't know.
00:03:50I don't know.
00:03:51I don't know.
00:03:52I don't know.
00:03:53I don't know.
00:03:54I don't know.
00:03:55I don't know.
00:03:56I don't know.
00:03:57Lewis.
00:03:58I don't know, sir.
00:03:59I don't know, sir.
00:04:01Anything else?
00:04:03Yes.
00:04:04I'm sorry to disappoint you, nurse, but she's dead.
00:04:07How do you know?
00:04:08They put me under these things when they can smell a corpse.
00:04:11One file, anybody.
00:04:13Two files, Ainley.
00:04:15Or Mackay.
00:04:17I'm the three-file man.
00:04:19No.
00:04:20She's dead.
00:04:27She's dead.
00:04:48Cream of the country, eh?
00:04:50I wouldn't know, sir.
00:04:52Rich and sick.
00:04:54That's a bit unfair, isn't it?
00:04:56You wouldn't mind our Louise going to this school.
00:04:58She's not rich or thick.
00:05:02Have you ever thought about the person who designed the sports skirt?
00:05:06Somebody sat down and drew a fantasy and made it compulsory uniform.
00:05:13I could never watch Wimbledon without thanking that man.
00:05:17Shall we go in?
00:05:19In a minute.
00:05:20Keep it going towards the ball.
00:05:26Can I help you?
00:05:28Hello.
00:05:30This is private property.
00:05:32Are you parents?
00:05:33I'm not, no, but Sergeant Lewis is.
00:05:37I see.
00:05:39Do you have an appointment, Inspector Morse?
00:05:41I'm assuming you're here about Valerie Craven, yes?
00:05:44That's why I'm here, yes.
00:05:46I think Sergeant Lewis would like some information about your fees.
00:05:52An interesting girl. Bright. Quite bright.
00:05:55Wild, but I liked her. I taught her English.
00:05:58She left school on Thursday, 24th of March, at about 4.30.
00:06:02She's a day girl.
00:06:04And she waved goodbye to me, actually.
00:06:07Rather ironic.
00:06:09Just walked off, down the drive.
00:06:13No one's heard from her since.
00:06:15Wild is not fair, really. Spirit.
00:06:18I thought you people had given up?
00:06:21Oh, no.
00:06:22I expect you know her father through the police committee.
00:06:25I've never met the man. I am intimate with one of his cement mixers.
00:06:29I'm sorry?
00:06:30There's a lot of building going on across the way from me.
00:06:33Everywhere you look.
00:06:34That's right.
00:06:35And very ugly.
00:06:36That's right.
00:06:37Sorry, Miss Graves.
00:06:38He's a powerful man.
00:06:40Yes, that's why we're still trying to find his daughter.
00:06:42Your daughter?
00:06:43Your ordinary missing person gets about a week.
00:06:49Who do you think has happened to her?
00:06:51I've no idea.
00:06:52You should ask the head, really. He knows the family very well.
00:06:55George Craven is a school governor and so on.
00:06:58Was she happy, would you say?
00:07:00Yes, I should think so.
00:07:03I mean, slice any teenager in half, Inspector,
00:07:06and there's a great deal of melancholy and angst and rage,
00:07:09I would have said she was happy, yeah.
00:07:11Excuse me.
00:07:13Mrs Webb, it's the head around.
00:07:16There are a couple of police officers here who'd like a word with you.
00:07:20Sounds familiar, sir.
00:07:22What does?
00:07:24Well, you know, melancholy and rage and so on.
00:07:31What time is it?
00:07:34Coming up 2.40.
00:07:40My cousin is married to a woman who's 12 years younger than he is,
00:07:46which means when he was 20, she was 8.
00:07:51Did they know each other when she was 8?
00:07:54I don't know.
00:07:57I'm sorry to keep you waiting. The head's been delayed.
00:08:00He was at a headmaster's conference in London over the weekend.
00:08:03We'll make an appointment.
00:08:07Time, please, ladies and gentlemen. Time, please.
00:08:10Thank you.
00:08:12Two pints, please.
00:08:14Sorry, I've called time.
00:08:16When?
00:08:17Just now.
00:08:19Oh, come on. Two pints.
00:08:21Sorry.
00:08:22There are people still drinking.
00:08:25I'm sorry.
00:08:27I'm sorry.
00:08:29I'm sorry.
00:08:31I'm sorry.
00:08:33I'm sorry.
00:08:35I'm sorry.
00:08:49Thanks, sir.
00:08:51Otherwise I'd get shot.
00:08:54I got you these.
00:08:56It was all the heart.
00:08:58For me?
00:08:59Yes, sir.
00:09:01Undrinkable.
00:09:03No beer, you see. That's nothing to do with beer.
00:09:06Take it home, thanks. All the same.
00:09:08Right.
00:09:11Where are we going?
00:09:12To see the dad.
00:09:14You've got specific instructions not to disturb the family.
00:09:17That's right.
00:09:19The thing with you is, if somebody tells you you can't do something,
00:09:22you go right on and do it, don't you?
00:09:24I make it a rule.
00:09:34Another chap on leave, is he?
00:09:36No. Fresh legs, I think, is the idea.
00:09:39I can't say I liked him very much.
00:09:41Not much going on upstairs.
00:09:43A man doesn't have to be stupid because he hasn't found your daughter.
00:09:47You see, four months ago this was pasture where we're standing now.
00:09:51You know, a bit of a farm.
00:09:53And you go in and you get on with it.
00:09:55You make things happen.
00:09:57You sweat.
00:09:59You get results.
00:10:01You get results?
00:10:02Yes.
00:10:05I dredged the canals myself.
00:10:08My people.
00:10:10But I was there, personally.
00:10:13And the reservoir.
00:10:15I didn't want something going on about the cost.
00:10:18I put stuff in the newspaper and there's a reward.
00:10:22I hope you've got a few half-decent ideas.
00:10:25Not yet, no.
00:10:28Morse?
00:10:30Are you the drinker?
00:10:32I don't know. Are you the tyrant?
00:10:38See these shoes?
00:10:39Horrible, aren't they?
00:10:41Full of muck.
00:10:42I never buy good shoes because I spend my life wading through muck.
00:10:47My wife won't let me through the front door of the house.
00:10:50That's all you need to know about me.
00:10:53What do you think has happened to Valerie?
00:10:56She snapped, yet there was no phone call.
00:10:59Temper?
00:11:00You can't be angry for six months, can you?
00:11:03So I dredged the canal.
00:11:06I walked the woods behind my house with a rake in my hand.
00:11:09Has a temper, though, does she?
00:11:13Have you got any kids, Morse?
00:11:15No.
00:11:17No.
00:11:26Come towards me.
00:11:27What?
00:11:28Just come towards me.
00:11:30Take my arm.
00:11:46These are going to be compulsory at Homewood.
00:11:48I've ordered a thousand of them.
00:11:51So you've no idea why Valerie might have decided to leave Harlem.
00:11:55Man, quarrel.
00:11:57Read the files, Inspector.
00:11:59I'm not going to repeat myself.
00:12:01Get your feet dirty.
00:12:16What was that noise?
00:12:20I think that was a cry from the heart.
00:12:33Bye. See you tomorrow.
00:12:44Carol.
00:12:46I gather I missed a visit.
00:12:48That's right.
00:12:49And?
00:12:50Oh, I'm sure they'll be back.
00:12:52Prod, prod, poke, poke.
00:12:54They wanted to know if Valerie had ever confided in me about anything.
00:12:58If there was something on her mind.
00:12:59And you said?
00:13:00Oh, nothing much.
00:13:05Excuse me, Headmaster.
00:13:19Sit.
00:13:21Look at this.
00:13:23I'm fine, don't worry.
00:13:25I'm very happy and this is the right thing for me.
00:13:28I know you've been worrying and I want to tell you everything, but I can't.
00:13:31And please don't worry about me.
00:13:33Love and hugs, Valerie.
00:13:35What's all that about?
00:13:36Craven's got this this morning, through the Post.
00:13:39Postmark?
00:13:40London SW3, yesterday.
00:13:44Well, she's obviously alive.
00:13:46She's obviously alive and we can assume she's in London.
00:13:49I took her diary home with me last night.
00:13:52There's mention of a John Maguire boyfriend who lives in the SW3 area.
00:13:57I think she's there.
00:13:59Good.
00:14:00That's all right, then.
00:14:01It is.
00:14:02I think we should go and pay this Maguire a visit.
00:14:05You go.
00:14:09Did anybody read this diary before you, Lewis?
00:14:13Oh, yes, sir, of course.
00:14:14Chief Inspector Ainley interviewed the man on two separate occasions.
00:14:18Kept her under the bed, then.
00:14:24What's the matter?
00:14:26Nothing, it's hot.
00:14:28No, I mean Valerie Craven. What's the matter?
00:14:33Valerie Craven is dead.
00:14:36Why do you want her to be dead?
00:14:38And if she is dead, how can she write this letter and post it?
00:14:42Is there a date on that letter?
00:14:44No.
00:14:45Well, let me look at it.
00:14:51How do we know this is Valerie Craven's handwriting?
00:14:55Well, I'm having it checked, but it matches the writing in her diary to an untrained eye.
00:15:01OK.
00:15:02So you're guessing it's a genuine letter.
00:15:05Doesn't mean it was written yesterday, does it?
00:15:08Doesn't mean she posted it herself.
00:15:12Doesn't mean it was actually written to her parents.
00:15:16And the envelope doesn't match particularly.
00:15:19And it may well be that this sheet of paper has lost its head.
00:15:22Dear who is what we should be asking ourselves.
00:15:26Dear who and when.
00:15:42He's not likely to be home this time of day, is he?
00:15:45Exactly. So if he's hiding around at the bed, we'll find out, won't we?
00:15:50You know this man, do you?
00:15:52Mr Maguire? I know who he is, yes.
00:15:56Don't know him in the sense of knowing him, no.
00:16:01I don't know him in the sense of knowing him, no.
00:16:05I don't know him in the sense of knowing him, no.
00:16:08Thanks.
00:16:10I should come in with you.
00:16:11I'd rather you kept an eye on our backs.
00:16:16I know before I meet Mr Maguire that I won't like him.
00:16:19What's that, sir?
00:16:20Nothing.
00:16:21Do you like London, Lewis?
00:16:23No, not much.
00:16:25Maguire's a country sort by the looks of it.
00:16:28You reckon?
00:16:32We ought to be able to arrest him for his theft.
00:16:36We ought to be able to arrest him for his taste, Lewis, but we can't.
00:16:42So, you know, has he paid his television licence?
00:16:49Is his telephone approved?
00:16:55Goes in for the gadgets.
00:16:59Owes his credit cards a lot of money.
00:17:02In fact, he owes his credit cards nearly as much as I earn in a year.
00:17:05Hateful, but not enough.
00:17:14What about this?
00:17:17These? No, no, no. Cross-dressing, it's legal.
00:17:20No, I mean Valerie.
00:17:24You see, if Valerie lived here, there'd be magazines, books, I don't know, something.
00:17:31If she died here, that's different.
00:17:58Interesting.
00:18:02I don't know.
00:18:15It will contain a unique mixture of residential and commercial accommodation.
00:18:19Mr Maguire, our negotiator, is upstairs in the show flat. Please walk up.
00:18:25What did she say about Maguire in her diary?
00:18:28Nothing very...
00:18:30No, I can't remember precisely to tell the truth. His name, obviously.
00:18:34Memorable stuff.
00:18:36Well, you know the men at the party.
00:18:39Oh, his star sign. She talks about his star sign.
00:18:42There's your motive, then. He murders anyone who asks him what his sign is.
00:18:46I like him better already.
00:18:53It's very sophisticated and very sensitive.
00:18:56And it means you can leave the door open and still be secure.
00:19:00Now, if someone could just be the burglar...
00:19:04No, hang on, I'll be the burglar.
00:19:06Would you be kind enough?
00:19:08Just press the buttons marked Police and Alarm on,
00:19:11and then off when I trigger the alarm, all right?
00:19:14On, then off. Great.
00:19:17So, here I am after your original Picasso,
00:19:21your Ming vase and the keys to your Porsche.
00:19:24I spend half an hour forcing the double turn lock,
00:19:27tiptoe in...
00:19:30And hey, presto.
00:19:33And it's also sounding downstairs at the Porter's Lodge.
00:19:37Thanks.
00:19:41Could you turn it off, please?
00:19:46Well done.
00:19:49Mr Maguire, could we have a word?
00:19:51Yeah, I'll answer any questions at the end, OK?
00:19:53Just a few minutes outside.
00:19:55Look, if you miss the start, we can go around again when I've finished.
00:19:58We're policemen.
00:20:02And?
00:20:03Would you like a brief word in private?
00:20:05What about? I'm working.
00:20:09Is this more about Valerie Crane?
00:20:13Give me a few seconds, will you? Just have a wander around.
00:20:16OK. Great.
00:20:17I've had it up to here with you people.
00:20:19Let's just go out on the balcony, shall we?
00:20:23I'm going to speak to my lawyer about this, because this is harassment.
00:20:26I'm sorry, sir. What is?
00:20:28I made a statement.
00:20:30I've been questioned about eight times.
00:20:32Not by us?
00:20:34Look, I met her at a party.
00:20:37I saw her once or twice.
00:20:39This is like months ago. End of subject.
00:20:41She writes about you in her diary?
00:20:43Yeah.
00:20:44Did she ever visit your flat?
00:20:46No. I met her in Oxford at a party.
00:20:48I don't know where she is or what happened to her.
00:20:51All right?
00:20:52Nice flat you've got.
00:20:54Say again?
00:20:56It's not quite in this league, but we thought it was very...
00:21:00What did we think it was, Sergeant?
00:21:02When did you go to my flat?
00:21:03Just now. Had a little look around.
00:21:05You what?
00:21:06You better have a search warrant, sunshine, because otherwise...
00:21:09Otherwise what?
00:21:13How's the nose?
00:21:15My nose is fine, thanks. How's yours?
00:21:17A bit sniffy.
00:21:21Don't try that one.
00:21:23There's nothing there. It's absolutely clean.
00:21:25It's very hard to be absolutely clean.
00:21:29Tell me.
00:21:31When did Valerie Craven tell you she was pregnant?
00:21:37Look, you better let me get rid of these.
00:21:39Go ahead.
00:21:46I didn't know she was pregnant.
00:21:48No, neither did I.
00:22:04OK.
00:22:06I've got Chief Inspector Morse and Sergeant Lewis here today
00:22:09to ask you some questions about Valerie.
00:22:13Now, I'm going to go.
00:22:15I think the officers are worried I might inhibit you,
00:22:18so don't spare them any of the dirt.
00:22:21The truth about Dooley.
00:22:24The caretaker.
00:22:26He's 103, but we've got our theories.
00:22:29Sergeant Lewis.
00:22:31Yes, sir?
00:22:33I've got a question for you.
00:22:35What is it?
00:22:37The caretaker. He's 103, but we've got our theories.
00:22:42So, they're all yours.
00:22:44If they bite, press the fire alarm.
00:22:46Or get them to press their personal alarms.
00:22:49Yes, we heard about them.
00:22:51Yes, we're all kitted out, aren't we?
00:23:01She was never short of men.
00:23:04Her school friend confided.
00:23:09She was always in love.
00:23:11Every five minutes, it was her best friend.
00:23:17Really wild.
00:23:19Another friend, et cetera, et cetera.
00:23:23So, is this true?
00:23:26Not really. I think it is, actually.
00:23:28It's ridiculous.
00:23:30The papers make things up. It's common knowledge.
00:23:32None of us talk to the press.
00:23:34They put words into your mouth.
00:23:36Did she ever mention the name of any boyfriend?
00:23:40John Maguire?
00:23:41I know about John Maguire,
00:23:43but only because we've had this before with some other people,
00:23:45other policemen, and they talked about her diary and stuff.
00:23:48But, you know, she might write something in her diary
00:23:51that wasn't even true.
00:23:53I've done that. I mean, your diary's personal, isn't it?
00:23:55I mean, it can be describing something
00:23:57you hope might happen or wanted to happen.
00:24:00I have a diary. I have a field day.
00:24:02What about boyfriends at the university?
00:24:05Possibly. I don't know.
00:24:07Well, there might have been.
00:24:09But what about crushes?
00:24:11Everybody has crushes. That's what we're trying to say to you.
00:24:13Everybody has crushes. Everybody has boyfriends.
00:24:16Or not, as the case may be.
00:24:20Crushes on teachers?
00:24:22Sure.
00:24:24Valerie?
00:24:25Everybody.
00:24:26There aren't that many male members of staff to choose from, are there?
00:24:29Who necessarily would have to be male?
00:24:31There's Dooley.
00:24:33Apart from Dooley.
00:24:34Ron.
00:24:35Who's Ron?
00:24:36Mr Ronald, classics.
00:24:38Is he nice?
00:24:40He's all right. And Mr Acom, but he's left.
00:24:43DPP?
00:24:44DPP?
00:24:46The head, Mr Philipson.
00:24:50We love this place. We love it.
00:24:52We both travel. We're both ambitious people, wouldn't you say?
00:24:55But we came here, and we came in autumn, I remember,
00:24:57and the leaves were shedding in great flocks, and it was beautiful.
00:25:00Remember that? Gosh.
00:25:02And I, well, I'm not intending to leave.
00:25:04They'll have to carry me out. It's very nice.
00:25:06It is.
00:25:07Becky, Inspector Morse needs chocolate.
00:25:09And it's wonderful for Sheila.
00:25:10She has a fellowship, you know, St Thomas'.
00:25:12She has the brains. I'm the domestic.
00:25:15That's lies on both counts.
00:25:17You going for these, Inspector?
00:25:18No.
00:25:19You should, you should.
00:25:20Three is perfect.
00:25:21Someone to bowl at, someone on the boundary, and someone to keep wicket.
00:25:24Don't take any notice of him.
00:25:25We never do.
00:25:27Does it bother you, living on the school grounds?
00:25:29Quite the contrary.
00:25:30I saunter over. I come home for lunch.
00:25:32I live like a lord.
00:25:33I have my wonderful school.
00:25:35I have my little zoo here.
00:25:36I'm very lucky.
00:25:37Do you have any theories?
00:25:39Do you mind my talking about Valerie Craven while we're all...
00:25:41Absolutely.
00:25:42Go ahead.
00:25:43I mean, we make it a policy to talk as a family.
00:25:45Right.
00:25:46I just wondered what your thoughts were.
00:25:48What happened to Valerie?
00:25:51Well, I think it's probable...
00:25:53Well, you think...
00:25:54Sorry, darling. You carry on.
00:25:56No. Sorry, darling. Carry on.
00:25:57Yes.
00:25:58Well, until we heard she'd written to her parents,
00:26:01I think we'd come to imagine, hadn't we,
00:26:04that she was probably not going to turn up.
00:26:06I think that was certainly our...
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:09But obviously...
00:26:10Obviously.
00:26:11Since the letter, what can one think other than that she's...
00:26:13She's obviously alive, thank God.
00:26:16But where, and with whom?
00:26:19What are your theories so far?
00:26:21I don't seem to have theories.
00:26:23I have questions, which I don't have the answers to.
00:26:28Sergeant Lewis is the man with all the theories.
00:26:30Isn't that right, Sergeant?
00:26:33Well, I've always thought that Valerie was alive, I must say,
00:26:37and that we'll find her.
00:26:39I think we're on a trail.
00:26:40Mind you, Sergeant Lewis has some very far-fetched ideas.
00:26:43We've had Valerie having an affair with the caretaker, Dooley,
00:26:49and you.
00:26:50Dooley! Wonderful idea.
00:26:52And you.
00:26:53Oh, that's much more plausible.
00:26:55She was terribly pretty.
00:26:57Yes, I'm rather flattered by the idea.
00:26:59Donald, you know very well that half of Homewood has a huge crush on you.
00:27:03Half is an exaggeration.
00:27:05A third at most.
00:27:07And then he moved on, didn't you, Lewis?
00:27:10Mr Ronald's come and gone.
00:27:12And who's the man that left, the French teacher?
00:27:15Mm-hm.
00:27:16Oh, Acom, David Acom.
00:27:17Oh, now, he was nice.
00:27:19In fact, it's heresy, I know,
00:27:21but given his wife, who was a crushing stodge, it has to be said,
00:27:26he could be forgiven for having...
00:27:28No, he couldn't.
00:27:29No, he couldn't, and no, he didn't.
00:27:31He was much too...
00:27:32I mean, there are some people you can imagine jumping into bed,
00:27:35and there are others for whom the imagination will not leap.
00:27:38Where is he now?
00:27:39Reading, a comprehensive huge.
00:27:41Better money?
00:27:42Considerably less, I'd imagine.
00:27:44So?
00:27:45Who knows?
00:27:47It was a Catholic school he went to,
00:27:49although I don't think he was particularly religious himself.
00:27:52Bit of a chip, politics, pressure from the wife, I don't know.
00:27:55You must realise that some people look at a school like Homewood
00:27:58and every beautiful tree, each A-level result,
00:28:01every motivated, bright, alert student is an insult to them.
00:28:04Not that it was necessarily true of Acom,
00:28:07but he was a sort of...
00:28:10Morris Minor type.
00:28:16HORN BLOWS
00:28:26Just wait, I'll go.
00:28:46Mrs Acom.
00:28:48Chief Inspector Morse, Thames Valley.
00:28:50I think my sergeant will have phoned.
00:28:53I came on the off chance of seeing your husband. Is he in?
00:28:56No, no.
00:28:57He doesn't come home for lunch?
00:28:59No.
00:29:00Well, I'm sorry I've disturbed you, and obviously...
00:29:05Do those...
00:29:07I've always wondered, do those things hurt when they come off?
00:29:11No, they don't.
00:29:14Well, there you are. Learned something, anyway.
00:29:17Thanks.
00:29:37Of course I remember her.
00:29:39Has she turned up, then?
00:29:41No, but she's been writing letters.
00:29:43Really? Recently?
00:29:45A couple of days ago.
00:29:47That's good, isn't it? At least she's alive. Great.
00:29:50As far as we can gather, you must have been one of the last people to see her.
00:29:54Was I?
00:29:56This is her French exercise book.
00:30:01Valerie, please see me after the lesson.
00:30:04And French was the last lesson.
00:30:06And is that the day she went missing?
00:30:08March the 24th.
00:30:10Oh.
00:30:12I don't know what I'm thinking of, but either of you like one?
00:30:15No, thanks.
00:30:16You're very welcome.
00:30:17Positive.
00:30:19You're quite right.
00:30:21I make terrible sandwiches.
00:30:24I can't work out whether this is pate or peanut butter.
00:30:27So what would this have been about her?
00:30:30Valerie? Let me see.
00:30:33There was an exam coming up, I seem to remember.
00:30:36I probably wanted to have a word with her about it.
00:30:40What was the...
00:30:42I don't know, actually.
00:30:44It could have been about anything.
00:30:46March.
00:30:48Is it as long ago as that?
00:30:51Amazing.
00:30:52So, didn't you enjoy teaching young ladies?
00:30:55It was all right.
00:30:57Why move, then?
00:31:00I don't know.
00:31:02I wasn't very happy there, to tell you the truth.
00:31:05I don't know.
00:31:08School. Homewood.
00:31:11It's one of those places where you feel...
00:31:13Well, I expect you've been there.
00:31:16It's one of those places where you feel the sun shines all the time.
00:31:19All day. Every day. Sun.
00:31:23And you can't help remembering all the places where it's always cloudy.
00:31:27And then you start to think that the one place is sunny
00:31:30at the expense of the other place's cloud, and vice versa.
00:31:33I'm beginning to sound like the weather reporter.
00:31:39Well, I thought Egan was a nice bloke.
00:31:42The kiss of death saying that to me, Lewis,
00:31:45makes me very suspicious.
00:31:48It goes straight to the top of my list.
00:32:01What about the forensic labs at Aldermaston?
00:32:04I've seen it.
00:32:05And?
00:32:0690% probability in favour of her having written it.
00:32:10So what's the problem?
00:32:11She can't have Mac. She's dead.
00:32:14I'm positive.
00:32:16You mean about 90% positive?
00:32:21Look, Moss, I'm a pathologist.
00:32:23I'm not a handwriting expert.
00:32:25But?
00:32:26It could be forged. I don't know.
00:32:28I could probably forge that handwriting.
00:32:31But then I'm not your average bod in the street.
00:32:34Same again?
00:32:36No.
00:32:37Bitter, please.
00:32:40What's the matter with you?
00:32:42Nothing at all.
00:32:44A girl's gone missing.
00:32:45She writes a letter to her parents. That's good, isn't it?
00:32:48Why does she cut off the top of the paper?
00:32:51Printed address.
00:32:53Dear Mum and Dad?
00:32:55Maybe she doesn't think they are dear. I don't know.
00:33:00No. You see,
00:33:02I've spent the past week around all this money,
00:33:07all these beautiful places, things,
00:33:10people who tell me how happy they are,
00:33:13that they've got everything they want.
00:33:15Everyone is very polite, smiles at me.
00:33:20And I'm not convinced.
00:33:22I don't believe it.
00:33:24That's you, though, friend, isn't it?
00:33:27That's your problem.
00:33:28Is it?
00:33:29Just because the girl is from a well-off family
00:33:31doesn't make the pain any less for the parents.
00:33:34No, but if her dad wasn't on the police committee,
00:33:36we wouldn't know anything about it, would we?
00:33:38Only a man without children could talk the way you do.
00:33:42You know, imagine you've lost your only recording of the ring cycle
00:33:47and try and think some things might hurt even worse than that.
00:33:53Yes, but I've got it on cassette as well.
00:34:00MUSIC PLAYS
00:34:20No, I'll tell you how I met my husband.
00:34:23He came over to Ireland to hunt.
00:34:26I rode to hounds in those days.
00:34:29Anyway, George is a strong man,
00:34:31and he lifted me off my horse, literally.
00:34:34Were it possible, I think he would have carried me over
00:34:36to this country there and then,
00:34:38but as it was, he had to observe a few formalities.
00:34:41I was married to someone else at the time.
00:34:44So, will you have milk?
00:34:46Please, no sugar.
00:34:49What sort of relationship did you have with Valerie?
00:34:53I am her mother.
00:34:55We are very, very close.
00:34:57So, sometimes she hated me.
00:35:00Right, but you spoke.
00:35:03Oh, yes.
00:35:05Did she tell you she was pregnant?
00:35:07No, because she wasn't.
00:35:10We have reason to believe she was.
00:35:12Well, you're quite wrong. I would have known.
00:35:16The night she disappeared, were you expecting her home, as usual?
00:35:20Of course.
00:35:21Was she often late?
00:35:23Sometimes.
00:35:24Why?
00:35:25The usual things, you know.
00:35:27Something at school, visiting friends.
00:35:29I was never her jailer.
00:35:31These friends, would they be girlfriends or boyfriends?
00:35:35Oh, both, I would think, wouldn't you?
00:35:40I'm trying to work out why you didn't contact the police
00:35:43until the following morning.
00:35:46Because my husband was away.
00:35:50Because somehow I was expecting her to walk through that door any minute.
00:35:55Because somehow I still am.
00:35:58Because I don't know.
00:36:02That's fine.
00:36:07And is Valerie...
00:36:11Is your husband Valerie's father?
00:36:16No, he isn't.
00:36:18No, he isn't.
00:36:21He's always wanted us to have children, but
00:36:25somehow over the years
00:36:27people have assumed that she's his.
00:36:30So, there's no need for him to know we've discussed this.
00:36:35I'm not saying he's an easy man,
00:36:37but he worships her.
00:36:40Yes.
00:36:41And when we got the letter,
00:36:44well, you can imagine.
00:36:48Yeah.
00:37:13That's it.
00:37:15That's it.
00:37:16That's it.
00:37:18Where are the Craven files?
00:37:20I've got them.
00:37:21Well, bring them in.
00:37:22Right.
00:37:24Did you say you'd read that diary?
00:37:26I did, yes.
00:37:27What did she say about her dad?
00:37:30I don't know, nothing I can remember.
00:37:32Well, just get it.
00:37:37It's funny looking at this.
00:37:39Makes you feel sad, doesn't it?
00:37:42What, because she's dead, you mean?
00:37:44No, sir, I don't think she is dead.
00:37:47So, you keep saying.
00:37:48She wrote a letter.
00:37:51The path lab confirmed it was her handwriting.
00:37:53Okay, she wrote a letter, she's alive,
00:37:55she's in London and quite happy where she is,
00:37:58thank you very much, fine.
00:38:01We've still got to find her.
00:38:02Why?
00:38:04So we can drag her back home,
00:38:05tell her what a naughty girl she's been?
00:38:07Yeah, if we have to.
00:38:09It is a missing persons case,
00:38:11so we find the person that's missing.
00:38:14It's no case if she wrote the letter.
00:38:17Okay.
00:38:18But the fact is, she's dead,
00:38:20it isn't missing persons, it's murder.
00:38:26Yes?
00:38:27The chief super thought you ought to see this, sir.
00:38:29Just arrived, no print.
00:38:45I hear you're trying to find me.
00:38:47I don't want you to,
00:38:48because I don't want to go back home.
00:38:50I'm very happy.
00:38:51Yours truly, Valerie Craven.
00:38:56It's me.
00:38:57I know, I'm sorry.
00:38:59It's just the police called,
00:39:01they've had another letter from Valerie.
00:39:04I know.
00:39:09She said,
00:39:10she didn't ever want to come home.
00:39:14Look, I really need to see you.
00:39:17I keep having these terrible dreams.
00:39:21I'm sorry.
00:39:24Yes, I'll go.
00:39:27Okay.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:31Okay.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:53You sent for me?
00:39:54Yes.
00:39:57Is something the matter?
00:39:58I don't know.
00:39:59I had a phone call from the police this morning.
00:40:01They've received a letter from Valerie.
00:40:03But they can't have.
00:40:28Thank you.
00:40:29I know it's late.
00:40:30Is it too late?
00:40:32Well, actually it is.
00:40:34Right.
00:40:35I'm not going to turn you away.
00:40:38Then I won't go.
00:40:51Here.
00:40:52Thank you.
00:40:58Is this a professional call?
00:41:00I think so, yes.
00:41:02Cheers.
00:41:03Cheers.
00:41:08So.
00:41:11I'll tell you.
00:41:13I can't think in straight lines, you see.
00:41:17So, sometimes I bash into the answers
00:41:22and sometimes I walk straight past them.
00:41:26Is that a mixed metaphor?
00:41:28Yes, probably.
00:41:32So, you see, I've had some thoughts
00:41:35and I wanted your opinion.
00:41:37Although probably what will happen,
00:41:39it'll be like that board game
00:41:41where the last person you thought had done it,
00:41:43had done it.
00:41:44Done what?
00:41:46Whatever it is.
00:41:48Well, I'm lost, but
00:41:50don't let that stop you.
00:41:52You live alone?
00:41:56Two cats?
00:41:59Anyway, I don't think that direction constitutes professional, so...
00:42:06Tell me about Mr. Philipson.
00:42:08The head.
00:42:11Very charming.
00:42:13You've met him.
00:42:15Very charming.
00:42:16Do you like him?
00:42:18Pass.
00:42:20Is he a good headmaster?
00:42:22I'm sure he is.
00:42:25I'm not writing this down.
00:42:27You don't need to.
00:42:29Isn't it the function of the deputy
00:42:31to see the problems of the head?
00:42:34Probably.
00:42:36Look, I'll tell you a story about Donald Philipson.
00:42:40Last summer at the sports day,
00:42:43we have a sports day which is quite a grand affair.
00:42:46Lots of pretty dresses and hats and homemade jam,
00:42:49but quite serious as well, you know,
00:42:51house teams, a cup.
00:42:54Anyway, at the end of it, for light relief,
00:42:57there was a race for the parents.
00:42:59Some teachers joined in, but mostly it was the dads,
00:43:02you know, pulling off their jackets and
00:43:05borrowing the wrong size plimsolls, falling over.
00:43:10Donald entered.
00:43:12He appeared in kit
00:43:15and wearing running spikes.
00:43:18He won.
00:43:21Right.
00:43:23Whenever I think about him, I
00:43:26remember the spikes.
00:43:28Yes.
00:43:31Men in their shoes.
00:43:33I'm sorry?
00:43:35Nothing.
00:43:39Yes?
00:43:46Shall I give you a moment?
00:43:49You look very nice.
00:43:51So?
00:43:53Moose.
00:43:54He came over to my house last night.
00:43:56And?
00:43:57Now he'd like to meet us together tomorrow.
00:43:59Why is that, do you think?
00:44:01I've no idea.
00:44:04Chief Inspector rather reminds me of a dog my parents once had.
00:44:08There was nowhere in the house I could go where he wouldn't find me.
00:44:11He was blind, the dog, and I don't think he was anything,
00:44:14no pedigree or anything,
00:44:15but in the end he would always blunder in.
00:44:19Do you follow?
00:44:20Oh, I think so, Headmaster.
00:44:23You're requesting that I keep my mouth shut.
00:44:26You must have a lesson.
00:44:33A headmaster having an affair with one of his own schoolgirls.
00:44:37He's not such a fool, surely?
00:44:39Who knows? He wouldn't be the first.
00:44:43So, the child,
00:44:45if she was pregnant, Valerie,
00:44:47it would have been hit?
00:44:49Yes.
00:44:51Not a very attractive picture.
00:44:53It's not a very attractive world.
00:44:56I know it's to do with power,
00:44:58the world these people live in.
00:45:00Power is what matters,
00:45:02not sex, not money.
00:45:06Of course, Valerie could just be out there somewhere this minute, couldn't she?
00:45:10Just sitting there.
00:45:12She could be, yes.
00:45:14Then the question is where?
00:45:16SW3?
00:45:18Or West 1, where the second letter was posted.
00:45:22I wouldn't bother too much about the second letter.
00:45:25In fact, I wouldn't bother about it at all.
00:45:28I wrote the second letter myself.

00:46:59I said, let me go!
00:47:01No!
00:47:08No sign of Miss Banger?
00:47:10None. Do you want me to give her a ring?
00:47:12Yes, yes, I think perhaps we'd better.
00:47:14She was all right yesterday, wasn't she?
00:47:16I think so, yes.
00:47:18Yes, do. Telephone.

00:48:39How long?
00:48:41Difficult to say.
00:48:43Last night?
00:48:45After eight o'clock, probably.
00:48:47And before one or two in the morning.
00:48:50Pushed?
00:48:52Can't tell.
00:48:54Not easy to fall by accident.
00:48:56I don't know.
00:48:58Lewis, did you knew her?
00:49:01Knew is an exaggeration.
00:49:04Can they move her?
00:49:06I think so. All right.
00:49:14KNOCKING
00:49:16Anything missing?
00:49:18Don't know yet.
00:49:20I'll check upstairs.
00:49:22Frank's is upstairs.
00:49:24So?
00:49:26I'm just saying.
00:49:28Did you get a statement from the cleaning lady?
00:49:31Yes.
00:49:33Well, you've got your body, sir.
00:49:37What?
00:49:39You were so keen to have a murder.
00:49:41You should be happy.
00:49:45Right.
00:49:54What's interesting is that nine times out of ten you'd survive a fall like that.
00:49:58The angle of her head.
00:50:00The nature of the surface.
00:50:03She was very unlucky.
00:50:05Poor thing.
00:50:07Pretty girl as well.
00:50:10Fine.
00:50:12I'll get a report.
00:50:14Thanks.
00:50:16What now? I thought you wanted a body.
00:50:18Oh, by the way.
00:50:20I have a bone to pick with you.
00:50:22Which is?
00:50:24What's this I hear about forged letters?
00:50:26No idea.
00:50:28Stir around, don't you?
00:50:30That's right.
00:50:40All right, Franks.
00:50:42I've had a good look, sir. I don't think there's anything in here.
00:50:46When you go downstairs, you'll find some scotch in a cupboard.
00:50:50Pour me a glass, will you?
00:50:52No, actually, put it in a mug and don't make a fuss about it.
00:50:57Sir.
00:50:59How do you know, sir, if you don't mind me asking?
00:51:01About the whiskey, I mean.
00:51:03Because I've drunk it before.
00:51:05Right.
00:51:09Thank you.
00:51:40Mummy!
00:51:42Mummy!
00:51:44Mummy!
00:51:48There you are.
00:51:50I've been shouting. I'll get a sore throat.
00:51:53George has fallen over.
00:51:55Mummy?
00:51:57It's all right, darling.
00:51:59Come in, sweetie.
00:52:09Come in.
00:52:24Some coffee?
00:52:26Mm.
00:52:30There's nothing down there.
00:52:33So what's next?
00:52:36I don't know.
00:52:39She collected first edition, some very nice ones.
00:52:45A Lawrence, Houseman, The Wasteland.
00:52:49Valuable.
00:52:54I expect, sir.
00:52:56No, I meant in the sense of it being possibly an aggravated burglary.
00:53:00It wasn't an aggravated burglary.
00:53:03She sent the first letter.
00:53:06Who? Miss Baint?
00:53:09Dear Julia.
00:53:11That's why she cut the top off.
00:53:14She sent the Cravens a letter that Valerie had written to someone else.
00:53:20P.S.
00:53:21Love to Bains.
00:53:23I don't follow. Who's Julia?
00:53:26We met a Julia at Valerie's class.
00:53:29And she was killed for this, you think?
00:53:32No idea.
00:53:35Perhaps she was going to tell us something.
00:53:37Although I gave her an opportunity, she didn't take it.
00:53:41I've no idea.
00:53:44Sir, I'm, er...
00:53:46I'm sorry about what I said earlier.
00:53:49About you wanting it.
00:53:51It was out of order.
00:53:54No.
00:53:56No, it wasn't.
00:54:00Come on, let's go and find who did it.
00:54:05Sir, it's the chief superintendent.
00:54:07Here?
00:54:08Sir.
00:54:10Terrific.
00:54:19Morse.
00:54:20Sergeant.
00:54:21Sir.
00:54:22Sir.
00:54:24Well?
00:54:26The deputy head at Homewood School.
00:54:29I know that.
00:54:31And?
00:54:33It looks as if somebody pushed her downstairs last night.
00:54:40Go and make yourself a coffee, Lewis.
00:54:45Sir.
00:54:57You can be a pret, can't you?
00:55:00I expect so.
00:55:04What's this about forging a letter?
00:55:07I forged a letter from the Craven girl.
00:55:10Brilliant.
00:55:13I was trying to make something happen.
00:55:15Well, something has happened.
00:55:18That's right.
00:55:20And what about the girl, anything?
00:55:25I say to you, don't bother the Craven family.
00:55:29The first thing you do is bother the Craven family.
00:55:32You sit in Oxford, forging letters and boozing,
00:55:36when the girl was last seen in London.
00:55:39You enter a flat without a warrant.
00:55:43And now the deputy head of the school has been bumped off.
00:55:47It's all a bit of a shambles, Morse, really, isn't it?
00:55:53Do you know who did this?
00:55:55No.
00:55:57No.
00:56:00Don't let me hear any more dirt on you, mate.
00:56:03Do I have to ask you to report to my desk every morning
00:56:06and breathe into my face?
00:56:08No, sir.
00:56:10Find the girl, find who did this, and don't prat about.
00:56:16Who told you about the letter?
00:56:19Look, I'm the chief super.
00:56:21If somebody asks for a whisky and a coffee mug,
00:56:24I know about it before he's even drunk it.
00:56:28That's my job.
00:56:30You do yours.
00:56:40Come on. We're out everywhere.
00:56:46I have absolutely no idea.
00:56:48Where were you, sir, yesterday evening?
00:56:50At the theatre, as it happens.
00:56:52Your wife with you?
00:56:54No, she wasn't keen. She babysat.
00:56:56What happens if you both go out?
00:56:58It depends. We might get one of the sixth form boarders.
00:57:01Sheila's mother lives nearby. She'll sometimes come over.
00:57:04It depends. No pattern.
00:57:06Am I a suspect?
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:10I see. Can I ask why?
00:57:12I've put this to you before. Now I want a proper answer.
00:57:15Were you having an affair with Valerie Craven?
00:57:17No.
00:57:19Have I ever had an affair with any of my pupils? No.
00:57:22With any of my colleagues? No.
00:57:24What time did the play finish?
00:57:26It was very long and not marvellous.
00:57:29I listened to the 11 o'clock news driving home.
00:57:31Did you pass Miss Bain's house on your journey?
00:57:34No.
00:57:36I have a staff meeting.
00:57:38My deputy head has just died.
00:57:40You've obviously learned to take murder in your stride.
00:57:42I haven't. Will there be anything else?
00:57:44Just a few details for Sergeant Lewis about your night out,
00:57:47and then we'll start nagging away at the theatre and the vicinity
00:57:51from where you parked your car
00:57:53till we are satisfied you were where you say you were.
00:57:56KNOCK AT DOOR
00:57:58Come in.
00:58:00I'm very sorry, Mr Phillipson, but I've got Julia Rosley outside.
00:58:03She says she must speak to Inspector Morse.
00:58:05Thank you, Pauline. Inspector, is there somewhere I can see her?
00:58:08Well, there's... Well, obviously there's Cheryl's room,
00:58:11or you could use Pauline.
00:58:13Miss Bain's room will be fine.
00:58:15Would you look after her and tell the staff I'll be a little delayed?
00:58:19Yes, sir.
00:58:21I'll leave it to you, Lewis.
00:58:23Mr Phillipson.
00:58:25Inspector.
00:58:27The play was terrible.
00:58:29I didn't stay.
00:58:33And?
00:58:35I met someone.
00:58:37Who?
00:58:39I can't say.
00:58:41I think you're going to have to.
00:58:43Oh.
00:58:45I was telling the truth
00:58:47when I said I wasn't having an affair with Valerie Craven.
00:58:50What I didn't say was that I was having an affair with her mother.
00:59:01She doesn't want to go in there.
00:59:03That's all right. There'll be water in there.
00:59:08Julia.
00:59:11Let's go for a walk, shall we?
00:59:23Miss Bain's was a very special person, wasn't she?
00:59:27Yes.
00:59:29Look, I'm very happy to talk about this another day.
00:59:33I loved her.
00:59:35Right. It was mutual. Yes.
00:59:37Although she couldn't express it, of course, because of her position.
00:59:40And could you?
00:59:42I'm not saying it, no.
00:59:44But I know she knew, and she knew I knew.
00:59:47And Valerie? Was Valerie special to her as well?
00:59:51Sort of. Yes.
00:59:53But you know Valerie, she's very...
00:59:55Well, she loves people being captivated.
00:59:58Right.
01:00:00Where is she now?
01:00:02I don't know.
01:00:03And what about when she wrote?
01:00:05He asked Miss Bainstone to see the envelope, but I'd thrown it away.
01:00:08Twit.
01:00:10Why do you think Miss Bain sent the letter to Valerie's mother?
01:00:14I don't know.
01:00:16She said it was, like, really important for Mrs Craven to know.
01:00:19She was very annoyed with Valerie
01:00:21for not saying where she'd gone to or who with,
01:00:23and I think she thought it wasn't fair on her mum.
01:00:28Good.
01:00:30This is the worst day of my life.
01:00:32It must be.
01:00:34She was such a fantastic person, so fantastic.
01:00:37Because you could tell her anything, she just understood.
01:00:40She understood everything.
01:00:42She was so beautiful.
01:00:44She'd never decorate herself for a man or anything,
01:00:47only for her own pleasure.
01:00:49I'm sorry.
01:00:51She showed me things.
01:00:53I went to her house and everything, she showed me books.
01:00:56She told me I must look, look, look.
01:01:04Look.
01:01:20Look, Moss.
01:01:22Look, look, look.
01:01:34Look.
01:01:52You will forgive me if I do this?
01:01:55Oh, no, carry on.
01:01:58You've changed your hair.
01:02:00Yes, this is my own colour, you know.
01:02:03The blonde was a phase.
01:02:05I'll have to see if I can be loved for myself alone
01:02:08and not for my yellow hair.
01:02:10Oh, that's Yeats, Inspector.
01:02:12Only God, my dear, could love you for yourself alone
01:02:15and not for your yellow hair.
01:02:17Yes.
01:02:19I don't think anyone else has noticed.
01:02:22Donald Philipson?
01:02:24No.
01:02:26No.
01:02:29Has it been your friendship,
01:02:32the details aren't my business,
01:02:34but is it a recent thing or...?
01:02:37Through all the yellow hair phase.
01:02:39Is there a connection?
01:02:41Oh, I would think so, wouldn't you?
01:02:43Does your husband...?
01:02:45No. No.
01:02:47Where were you last Tuesday evening?
01:02:50I think you already know that.
01:02:52If you wouldn't mind telling me.
01:02:54Donald went to a play, he telephoned me.
01:02:56Donald went to a play, he telephoned me
01:02:58and he wanted to meet.
01:03:00And did you?
01:03:03We meet at Homewood,
01:03:05in the changing rooms.
01:03:07There are changing rooms beside the swimming pools,
01:03:09that's where we go.
01:03:11They're painted a sort of green colour,
01:03:13the wood, and it peels.
01:03:15Inside, I mean.
01:03:17The floor's concrete.
01:03:19We've been very organised.
01:03:21I have a duvet in the back of my car,
01:03:24and Donald has a cushion in his.
01:03:26Normally, his son sits on it.
01:03:30You can smell orange juice, you know.
01:03:33Iced lollies.
01:03:35Always with my head in it,
01:03:37I'm reminded of his children.
01:03:40And you were there on Tuesday evening?
01:03:44Yes.
01:03:49What...?
01:03:51Where was your husband
01:03:53while all this was going on?
01:03:55My husband is on committees.
01:03:57He's a great man for running things.
01:04:00He thinks I go out to learn
01:04:02how the Japanese arrange their flowers.
01:04:04Instead, I've learned how the English
01:04:06arrange their marriages.
01:04:08Aren't these lovely?
01:04:10Very.
01:04:12I love my garden.
01:04:16Did Valerie ever realise
01:04:18there was something between you?
01:04:20I don't think it had started
01:04:22before she left.
01:04:24So, in fact, it's been within the last few months?
01:04:26I should think so, then.
01:04:28I don't know.
01:04:30Perhaps your hairdresser will remember.
01:04:32I don't know.
01:04:34You realise you may have to testify
01:04:36on Donald Phillipson's behalf?
01:04:42Is that definite, then?
01:04:44No, and I hope you won't need to.
01:04:47That you won't have to.
01:04:49Thank you.
01:04:51Smell.
01:04:58I'll show you out.
01:05:00No, no, no. It's straight through, isn't it?
01:05:02Yes, that's right.
01:05:05Bye.
01:05:07Goodbye.
01:05:19Bye.
01:05:49Boss!
01:05:55What do you think you're doing?
01:05:57Do you know the damage you've done?
01:05:59All night, you were sobbing.
01:06:01Just lay there, awake, sobbing.
01:06:03Do you realise what you said?
01:06:05That our daughter didn't want to come home.
01:06:08Will you think about it?
01:06:11I don't know.
01:06:13I don't know.
01:06:15I don't know.
01:06:17Think about it.
01:06:19You just think.
01:06:21I only hope that you're here to apologise.
01:06:23And don't imagine for one minute I'm going to leave it here.
01:06:26I'm asking questions about you, Moss.
01:06:29Wherever I go, I ask questions.
01:06:31I'd like to ask you a question, Mr Craven.
01:06:34Where were you between 8 o'clock and midnight on Tuesday evening?
01:06:48I'm just going to speak to the Baines neighbour.
01:06:51Do you want to come?
01:06:53No, I want to catch Sheila Philipson.
01:06:55OK. How is Mrs Craven?
01:06:57She's had her hair dyed.
01:06:59She backs up Philipson.
01:07:01Says they were doing things to each other at the swimming pool.
01:07:04Well, guess what?
01:07:06According to his wife, David Aitken got home very late on Tuesday night.
01:07:09He was at a meeting in Oxford.
01:07:11George Craven was at the Masonic Lodge,
01:07:13ten minutes walk from Cheryl Baines.
01:07:15Witnesses as long as your arm.
01:07:18And the Masonic arm, as we know, is very long.
01:07:22HORN HONKS
01:07:24McGuire?
01:07:26At his mum's. Checked it out.
01:07:28Hard to imagine him having one.
01:07:30OK. See you later.
01:07:42No!
01:07:45PIANO MUSIC
01:07:54No.
01:07:56No. No!
01:08:02No!
01:08:09He's too tall, see? That's another problem.
01:08:14He was more the size of that other one.
01:08:18Oh, yeah, that's a woman police constable.
01:08:20She'd be a lot shorter than any of our men constables.
01:08:24Now, are you quite sure in your mind now that it was a man you saw?
01:08:28I told you.
01:08:32I'm worried about her cats.
01:08:35She loved those cats.
01:08:38Doted on them.
01:08:40Who's going to look after those poor things?
01:08:44Yes, could we try it now, please?
01:08:53Well, that's right.
01:08:55Bingo. Bingo!
01:08:57That's him, all right.
01:08:59Right coat, right size, right colour.
01:09:01Well done, Martha.
01:09:03Of course, I can't be definite. It was in the night-time.
01:09:06But...yes, that's him.
01:09:09That was a policewoman, Martha.
01:09:11And I think it was a woman you saw entering the premises on the night of the attack.
01:09:42Mrs Phillipson?
01:09:44Oh, I'm sorry. I startled you.
01:09:46No, I was miles away. Sorry.
01:09:48Inspector Moore, sorry.
01:09:54Thomas of Annerby?
01:09:56Yes, I'm doing him. He's my chap.
01:09:59I'm writing a little book about Annerby, which is...
01:10:02Well done.
01:10:04Well done.
01:10:06Yes, I'm doing him. He's my chap.
01:10:08I'm writing a little book about Annerby, which is where I was brought up.
01:10:11It's a village in Yorkshire, and Tom's my protagonist.
01:10:16Thirteen-something to thirteen-something.
01:10:19Seventy-two, probably.
01:10:23Have you come to see me?
01:10:25Yes.
01:10:27Would it be better if we went outside?
01:10:29No, no. Here's fine.
01:10:32So...
01:10:35You see, a girl has gone missing and a woman has died.
01:10:41And the connection is your husband's school.
01:10:44But a school can't be guilty of a crime, can it?
01:10:48At least not directly.
01:10:51So I'm trying to find the relationship between these two events.
01:10:56And I just thought I'd speak to you.
01:11:00I see.
01:11:03Research, detection.
01:11:07Similar trades, really.
01:11:10The old dirt, the relatively recent dirt.
01:11:16I know about my husband and Grace Craven, Inspector,
01:11:20if that is what you are trying to say.
01:11:22Well, I wasn't, but I'm...
01:11:27Right.
01:11:29Right.
01:11:33He told me yesterday evening.
01:11:37He'd brought me flowers, which is always an ominous sign.
01:11:42Presence and guilt. Someone should research that, Inspector.
01:11:46So...
01:11:48I knew anyway, but he told me yesterday.
01:11:52So it didn't come as a shock to you?
01:11:54No.
01:11:56No. Cheryl Baines was a shock, but Grace Craven...
01:12:03Look, when I met my husband, I was the most...
01:12:06Start again. When I say I was brought up in Andleby,
01:12:09actually, I'm a descendant. It's my family.
01:12:12When I met Donald, I think that was the most important thing about me
01:12:15as far as he was concerned.
01:12:18He wasn't bedding me. He was bedding a couple of hundred acres.
01:12:23I'm not saying he didn't love me or doesn't still love me.
01:12:28That's him. He has a great many qualities,
01:12:31but there are certain things that he finds quite sexy.
01:12:38George Craven is a very powerful man.
01:12:40I expect it was quite thrilling for Donald to get into his bed, that's all.
01:12:46I'm sorry.
01:12:48No.
01:12:50No, what's worse, to discover your husband's having an affair
01:12:53or that he's killed somebody?
01:12:55Let's go for the little stab, shall we,
01:12:58rather than the shove down the stairs.
01:13:00Why one or the other?
01:13:02Well, Donald also told me that you had him down as chief suspect.
01:13:05Is that right?
01:13:20I don't know.
01:13:50Sir!
01:14:21So, what time did you go to Miss Baines's house?
01:14:27About...
01:14:30nine o'clock. I'm not absolutely sure of the time.
01:14:34And if I was seen going in by this neighbour,
01:14:36then I assume you know what time, anyway.
01:14:42Anyway, Donald had the car, so I cycled.
01:14:46There was a light from the upstairs window,
01:14:48but when I got to the front door,
01:14:50I noticed it was already open,
01:14:52so I went in.
01:14:59I'm sorry.
01:15:01I'm sorry.
01:15:03I'm sorry.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:07I'm sorry.
01:15:09I'm sorry.
01:15:11I'm sorry.
01:15:14She was just lying there.
01:15:20Why did you go?
01:15:22I don't know, really.
01:15:26I wanted to confront her, I suppose.
01:15:28About?
01:15:30Donald.
01:15:32I thought she was blackmailing him.
01:15:34I don't mean money. I mean...
01:15:37There was obviously something going on.
01:15:40She hadn't always been deputy head, for instance.
01:15:42That was Donald's doing, and utterly uncharacteristic.
01:15:46Why do you say that?
01:15:49Cheryl Baines didn't go in for men, Inspector.
01:15:54With the Donalds of this world,
01:15:56women like that don't fare very well.
01:15:58But then suddenly, a few months ago,
01:16:00he makes her deputy head, and all sorts of other things,
01:16:03deferring to her on matters where he had very strong opinions.
01:16:07I don't know. I wanted to know what was going on.
01:16:12I had some thoughts, of course.
01:16:14Which were?
01:16:18I had a terrible fear that he was having an affair with Valerie Craven.
01:16:23Which is why you were relieved when he told you it was her mother.
01:16:26Yes, I suppose, yes.
01:16:28Probably.
01:16:32Relieved, I don't know.
01:16:34I know what it looks like, Inspector,
01:16:36but I didn't kill Miss Baines.
01:16:39I have no lover to vouch for me, but I didn't kill her.
01:16:42I turned and fled.
01:16:43Straight home?
01:16:44Yes.
01:16:46And you didn't see anyone else?
01:16:48Nothing that struck you as odd?
01:16:50No, I just cycled home.
01:16:52I don't know. I was...
01:16:56Well, of course, that was strange.
01:16:59Well, of course, that was strange.
01:17:01What was?
01:17:03Well, I was coming round the corner by the pub,
01:17:08and I noticed a man sitting in a car.
01:17:13And it was David Acom.
01:17:29David Acom.
01:17:42Don't throw that, that's not...
01:17:46Homework in English, that goes for everybody.
01:17:49Stephen, that goes for everybody.
01:18:00Inspector.
01:18:02Got a minute?
01:18:04A minute?
01:18:06Yeah, sure, but I'm on my way to another lesson.
01:18:08You'll have to walk with me, if that's OK.
01:18:10You know about Cheryl Baines?
01:18:14Yes, I saw it on the news.
01:18:17Terrible. It's incredible.
01:18:19I saw it on the news last night.
01:18:21We're treating her death as murder.
01:18:23You're joking.
01:18:25No joke.
01:18:26I can't believe it.
01:18:29Where were you on Tuesday evening?
01:18:32I was in Oxford.
01:18:34Well, you know that, you rang my home.
01:18:38I'm going to have to ask you to come to the station with me.
01:18:41But I can't, I'm teaching, I said.
01:18:43I can't just walk out of the school.
01:18:45Why can't you answer me these questions here, now?
01:18:48You know...
01:18:49Wait outside, you lot, come on!
01:18:52But why do I have to come down to the station all of a sudden?
01:18:55God!
01:18:56Because, Mr Aitken, we have a list of suspects.
01:18:59And you're at the top of it.
01:19:07Oh, Mr Maguire.
01:19:09Sergeant Lewis.
01:19:10Now what?
01:19:12Come on, now what have I done?
01:19:14Now what have I done?
01:19:16Now what have I done?
01:19:19Come on, now what have I done?
01:19:21I thought you'd just have a brief word.
01:19:23No, no way, I want a lawyer.
01:19:26Why is that, now, sir?
01:19:28Because you're on my case, you bastards, from morning till...
01:19:30Because I've got to turn round and find half a tonne of dope under my bed,
01:19:33and how did that get there, Mr Maguire?
01:19:35Oh, no.
01:19:36No, no, no, no.
01:19:37I was just wondering,
01:19:39in what way are you related to Valerie Craven?
01:19:42Say again?
01:19:44Would you rather talk upstairs?
01:19:46No.
01:19:48I'd rather get on with my life, you know.
01:19:50I've got clients waiting.
01:19:52And I'm going to get a ticket in a minute, unless I move my motor, so come on.
01:19:55What's all this garbage about Valerie Craven?
01:19:58Well, I've got a form in the car.
01:20:02And it's from a private hospital, as it happens, just around the corner.
01:20:07And it's for Valerie's termination.
01:20:10And on the form, as an ex of kin,
01:20:12she puts a Mr John Maguire of this address.
01:20:16So I'm assuming she meant you.
01:20:19Are you married?
01:20:21Stupid bitch, the stupid...
01:20:46Hello.
01:20:48I'm sorry, but we have...
01:20:52I had to come.
01:20:54We do need to speak.
01:20:58I'm sorry, can I come inside?
01:21:16Sit.
01:21:18Lewis, what's yours?
01:21:20No, I'm fine.
01:21:25So tell me.
01:21:27And don't look at me like that, Lewis.
01:21:29I'm thinking, and when I'm thinking, I get thirsty, so just...
01:21:32Right.
01:21:34Maguire.
01:21:36Oh, Mr Maguire.
01:21:39Actually, I think we'll just have a half.
01:21:41Half, please. Bit more.
01:21:43I think good for that.
01:21:45No, Maguire, very rat lot.
01:21:47Good.
01:21:49He did help Valerie, arranged for her to go to the clinic, lend her some money.
01:21:52So, yes, she was pregnant.
01:21:55And yes, she did stop with him for a couple of nights afterwards.
01:21:58But no, he wasn't the father, and no, she didn't tell him who was.
01:22:02Cheers.
01:22:04Said he hasn't seen or heard of her since.
01:22:06Well, he would, wouldn't he?
01:22:08Why did he lend her the money? He's not the charitable type, is he?
01:22:11No.
01:22:13I think, and I'm guessing here, but I got out my diary,
01:22:16and by my reckoning, she wouldn't quite have been 16
01:22:19when she and Maguire were...
01:22:22You know.
01:22:24Were, er...
01:22:26You know.
01:22:28You're such a prude, Lewis.
01:22:30Anyway, that's my guess.
01:22:32Mm.
01:22:34And why, if Maguire isn't the father,
01:22:37despite the, erm, you know...
01:22:40Why didn't the real father help her organise all this?
01:22:43Maguire didn't know, he says.
01:22:45But apparently, and this is Maguire's guess,
01:22:49he was under the impression that she thought
01:22:52that the real father wouldn't be too keen on her having a...
01:22:56That was his impression.
01:23:00When it comes to biology, it's a foreign language to you, isn't it?
01:23:04Anyway...
01:23:07Lewis, are you a Catholic?
01:23:09No, sir.
01:23:11Just the usual, you know.
01:23:13Ah, the usual.
01:23:15Right.
01:23:17Hey, but what about Aitken?
01:23:19Oh, I don't know.
01:23:22Catholic, you mean?
01:23:24No, sir, I meant, what's happening? Did you see him?
01:23:28Yes, oh, yes. Yes, I've got him down at the station.
01:23:31And?
01:23:33Can't imagine Aitken killing anybody, can you?
01:23:36I don't know.
01:23:38There's something not right, then.
01:23:42What do you know about St John Baptist de La Salle?
01:23:46Oh...
01:23:48Doesn't matter. Come on.
01:23:50Come on.
01:24:06You see, I think it might well have been an accident,
01:24:09or perhaps not so much an accident as a tussle.
01:24:13Do you know what I mean?
01:24:15A tussle at the top of the stairs.
01:24:18Struggle.
01:24:20An argument about something.
01:24:23An outburst.
01:24:25Temper.
01:24:27And then, without meaning to, without premeditation,
01:24:31the man, or the woman, whoever it was,
01:24:36suddenly has a dead body at the bottom of the stairs.
01:24:42Yes.
01:24:45Maybe I...
01:24:47I don't know.
01:24:50Maybe.
01:24:53Oh, God.
01:24:56Yes. You come to Oxford for the evening,
01:24:59for the first time, you say, since you stopped teaching at Homewood.
01:25:03Although why you stopped, we don't know.
01:25:06It's a nice posh school.
01:25:08Good money.
01:25:10Principals, you said to me, wasn't it?
01:25:13On principle.
01:25:17Yes, and then, one night,
01:25:21you come here,
01:25:23and the next thing we know,
01:25:25the teacher from the school is dead.
01:25:29And who is seen around the corner?
01:25:33You, David.
01:25:36So, tell us.
01:25:42I don't know.
01:25:47I don't know what to say.
01:25:50Well, you have a think, eh?
01:25:54Why don't you have just a little think on your own, OK?
01:25:58OK.
01:26:00Thanks.
01:26:03HE SIGHS
01:26:16So it was, Agham. Had me money on anyone except him.
01:26:20You might still be right.
01:26:22No, sir, I think you got it.
01:26:24About the pushing and shoving at the top of the stairs.
01:26:26A bit sad, really.
01:26:28Got a motive, have you, Lewis?
01:26:31Not really.
01:26:33Except I wondered whether there was anything between them.
01:26:36Some romantic thing?
01:26:38Possible?
01:26:40Then a falling out?
01:26:42I don't know.
01:26:44I'm driving Agham back to Reading. Do you want to come?
01:26:48Why's that?
01:26:50Catholics, Lewis.
01:26:53Catholics and faces.
01:26:56Who's that, would you say?
01:26:58Well, I don't know, sir.
01:27:00Why not?
01:27:02Well, I can't see her face now.
01:27:04Exactly.
01:27:06Exactly.
01:27:21Right.
01:27:24DOOR OPENS
01:27:28I'm very uncomfortable about being here, Grace.
01:27:31I hope it's... You hope it's what?
01:27:33I don't want you to tell me you've had a dream or whatever it was last time, I don't know.
01:27:37Obviously, at the moment, I'm just saying, you're not the only one who feels haunted.
01:27:41Ah, now, the last time we spoke on Wednesday morning, I think the need was all yours.
01:27:46OK. And at some point, I seem to remember, any time, any place was fine.
01:27:50Grace, please don't ask me to keep saying thank you. It wears me down. Please?
01:27:55OK.
01:27:57And I've got half an hour at the very most. I haven't even got that.
01:28:00I really wish we could have arranged a better... Anyway.
01:28:03Anyway.
01:28:09Hello, Donald.
01:28:12I'm happy you're catching a train.
01:28:14No, no, I brought you here. I'll take you home.
01:28:16But I'd prefer it, really.
01:28:18Guys, there are things we need to talk about with your wife.
01:28:23I don't know which of you instigated this, but I have to say, it can only be hurtful, can't it?
01:28:27It can only possibly be hurtful.
01:28:29Did you know that Grace and I have never had a conversation by ourselves before?
01:28:33Just the two of us. Really?
01:28:35Yes. What I've realised, because I don't think either of us is particularly stupid,
01:28:41although maybe we are, is how plausible you are. So very plausible.
01:28:46Is this going to lead somewhere, or are we just doing character assassination?
01:28:50In which case, I wonder if I might have a drink.
01:28:53You can have a drink. Thank you.
01:28:59Well. Well?
01:29:10I don't want to defend myself, but the woman is unbalanced.
01:29:14You've said this yourself.
01:29:16I'm not excusing myself. I haven't helped.
01:29:19I'm probably partly to blame for the girl going off, whatever.
01:29:22I'm just saying, the desire for revenge, for striking out, that's all.
01:29:28I've told you everything, Sheila.
01:29:31And I'm not proud.
01:29:33But I believe in our marriage.
01:29:37In our children.
01:29:40What has she said?
01:29:42The woman is unbalanced.
01:29:45Half the stuff she thinks has happened, she's actually dreamed. You realise that, don't you?
01:29:51Do you know what I did this morning?
01:29:54I bought you some perfume.
01:29:57I want you to come home and start again.
01:30:01As Sheila told you, my husband just called to tell me
01:30:05that David Acom is being detained by the police
01:30:07in connection with the murder of Cheryl Baines.
01:30:10Really? David Acom? I don't believe it.
01:30:14Well, that's what George told me, just now.
01:30:17How extraordinary. What possible reason could he have?
01:30:23Cheers.
01:30:30Cheers.
01:30:42Er...
01:30:44Can I just go on ahead?
01:30:46It's just my wife. I'd rather not...
01:30:49I don't want to confront her with two policemen without giving her some sort of...
01:30:52Fine, fine. Give us a shout as soon as you're ready.
01:30:55Thanks.
01:31:01He's not going to do a bunk, is he?
01:31:03Acom? No.
01:31:07You know what's happened, don't you?
01:31:10Yes, I think so.
01:31:12I think so.
01:31:14I think I probably do.
01:31:17I'm sorry, I can't find her. I think she must have gone out somewhere.
01:31:21Do you want to wait, or would you rather come back some other time?
01:31:25It's up to you, although, as I say, she could be...
01:31:27That's fine, we'll wait.
01:31:29OK, well, er...
01:31:31Come in.
01:31:41I'm sorry about the...
01:31:46Shall I make you a cup of tea or something?
01:31:48No, I don't think so.
01:31:56Sit down, please.
01:31:58Thanks.
01:32:08It's a bit ridiculous, though, isn't it?
01:32:11She could be ours.
01:32:13I don't know if she could be really late.
01:32:16Valerie!
01:32:18What?
01:32:20Valerie!
01:32:22She might as well come down.
01:32:24Sir?
01:32:26Valerie Craven!
01:32:28I know you're up there.
01:32:31Oh, God.
01:32:45Hello, Valerie.
01:32:48Well!
01:32:50After all that, it was Dee Acom.
01:32:53Which is good, because now you can tell Sheila what really happened on Tuesday evening.
01:32:57In what sense now?
01:32:59Well, she thinks we were together.
01:33:01And we were, Grace. I wish we weren't, but I can't see the point in denying it.
01:33:05I've told my wife everything.
01:33:07Donald, I have already explained to Sheila that I haven't seen you for months.
01:33:12That I tried to. That I tried very hard to.
01:33:16That I was beguiled.
01:33:18That I lost my daughter because of you.
01:33:20I've explained that.
01:33:22What can I say, Sheila?
01:33:28Sheila, he's lying.
01:33:30Why? What possible reason could I have for lying?
01:33:32I'm admitting to my wife I spent the evening with another woman.
01:33:40He's here.
01:33:43His car.
01:33:45Valerie!
01:33:47Leave her.
01:33:49Why do I need an alibi if the police have arrested David Acom?
01:33:52No. No more duplicity.
01:33:54I did something very wrong. I've done wrong.
01:33:57I've had to pay for it.
01:33:59I imagine I may have to leave home.
01:34:01Although I'm hoping you'll be generous enough not to push your husband into that.
01:34:04Because more than anything, I love my school.
01:34:07Now, I know you're very sensitive to your dreams.
01:34:11Tom. Valerie.
01:34:13Oh, my God. I thought you were dead.
01:34:15I'm back. I'm back now. I'm sorry.
01:34:17I'm so sorry.
01:34:19I think we should go, darling. This is a family time.
01:34:23Inspector, you brought Valerie?
01:34:25Yes.
01:34:26That's marvellous.
01:34:27Yes. Where did you find her?
01:34:29She's been in Reading, haven't you, Valerie?
01:34:31In Reading?
01:34:32Yes.
01:34:33She's been in Reading?
01:34:34Yes.
01:34:35She's been in Reading?
01:34:37Yes.
01:34:38She's been in Reading, haven't you, Valerie?
01:34:40In Reading. Have you?
01:34:44Oh, God, I can't believe you're back.
01:34:46Sheila, we really should...
01:34:48Yes?
01:34:49If you don't mind, I think I'd like you to stay for a few moments.
01:34:52Why's that?
01:34:53I think you know why, Mr. Philipson.
01:34:55Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I haven't the faintest idea.
01:34:58I want you to tell me again where you were between 8 and midnight on Tuesday evening.
01:35:03Well, this is going to be impossible, because as it happens,
01:35:06I've just been discussing this with my wife and Mrs. Craven,
01:35:09and naturally, now that Valerie has come back,
01:35:12her mother is going to find it even more difficult to hang on to the truth of the situation.
01:35:17I was lying, Inspector.
01:35:19He wasn't with me.
01:35:21You see?
01:35:24The fact of the matter is that six months ago or so,
01:35:27Valerie came home early from school with a headache or some such problem,
01:35:31stomachache, whatever you choose to call it,
01:35:33and unfortunately discovered her mother and me together upstairs,
01:35:37and it was very painful, and...
01:35:41Well, the point is now, naturally, naturally, there are going to be denials.
01:35:46You weren't with Mum.
01:35:48You were at Miss Baines's house the night she was killed.
01:35:51No.
01:35:52I know you were, because I saw you there.
01:35:55I was there.
01:35:57I went to see Baines.
01:35:59I needed to talk to somebody about what was happening to me.
01:36:04I was getting homesick,
01:36:06and you know she told me to come home.
01:36:10I was leaving the house.
01:36:12I'd left the house,
01:36:15and I saw his car drop,
01:36:21and he went in.
01:36:24That's why David couldn't say anything.
01:36:27I was there.
01:36:28He would have had to have told you about me.
01:36:30These are women who are distressed.
01:36:32You'll know this.
01:36:33I run a school full of them.
01:36:34Their emotions constantly get the better of them.
01:36:37Tomorrow there'll be different stories.
01:36:38There's no logic.
01:36:39There's no logic.
01:36:41So Mrs Craven says you weren't with her,
01:36:44and Valerie says she saw you at the Baines house.
01:36:46I did.
01:36:47I thought you'd got your murderer.
01:36:49It's Acom, isn't it?
01:36:50David didn't kill Baines.
01:36:52David?
01:36:53Of course.
01:36:54Reading.
01:36:55She's gone off with D. Acom.
01:36:58Is that who you were with?
01:37:00Oh, God.
01:37:02Yes, I'm sorry.
01:37:04I should have come and talked to you,
01:37:05but I couldn't.
01:37:06I couldn't talk to you.
01:37:07Now I understand.
01:37:08We've got one of them lying to protect her own reputation
01:37:12and to stop her husband beating her up or something,
01:37:14and the daughter is lying to protect the boyfriend.
01:37:17Now I understand.
01:37:18Shut up. Shut up.
01:37:20Just stop for one second.
01:37:22Just stop lying.
01:37:25Please, Donald.
01:37:26Please stop lying, will you?
01:37:28It's so...
01:37:35Just stop, okay?
01:37:37Okay.
01:37:38Okay.
01:37:40Okay.
01:37:41Let's go, shall we?
01:37:43Certainly.
01:37:45I didn't actually push her, as it happens.
01:37:48Not that I expect anyone to believe me.
01:37:51There was a struggle, and she...
01:37:53It was actually very simple.
01:37:54She wanted me out, and I wanted her out.
01:37:57It's the school.
01:37:59It's very precious.
01:38:00She wanted it, and I had it.
01:38:03And it was true, what I said.
01:38:06It was nothing.
01:38:08It was...
01:38:09I don't know what it was.
01:38:12Not love, certainly.
01:38:15And then Valerie walks in and finds us in bed,
01:38:18tells Baines.
01:38:20Suddenly, at every corner, every decision,
01:38:25she's got her hand on the telephone to call George Craven.
01:38:28That's intolerable, isn't it?
01:38:30Let me tell you, it is intolerable.
01:38:32It was blackmail.
01:38:34Just because she didn't ask for money.
01:38:37It was my school.
01:38:40You see?
01:38:45You can come with your husband, Mrs. Philipson,
01:38:47or we can arrange for a car.
01:38:49Thank you. I have to pick up the children from school.
01:38:52Sir.
01:38:54We'll need to talk to you both, but not just yet.
01:38:58Thank you for finding my daughter.
01:39:01I'm sorry it took so long.
01:39:06Are you sure you're all right?
01:39:08Oh, yes. Quite all right. Thank you.
01:39:19Thank you.
01:39:50They don't know, do they?
01:39:52Acom, the Cravens.
01:39:54They don't know about Valerie, do they?
01:39:56No.
01:39:58That's why she went to Maguire.
01:40:01Her mother, Acom, both Catholics.
01:40:04She had to go somewhere, so she went to Maguire.
01:40:09Are we going to tell them?
01:40:11No.
01:40:13Nothing to do with us.
01:40:15No.
01:40:17Nothing to do with us.
01:40:19It was a missing persons case.
01:40:22We found her.
01:42:15Thank you.
