00:00Prosecutors who prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:07You're slow, boy.
00:08You are dreaming. I am faster than you every day.
00:1314.2 seconds. You're never gonna beat that.
00:17Right, I'll prove it.
00:24This one.
00:27Right, time me.
00:28Go.
00:55Go.
00:57Go.
00:59Stay where you are.
01:01Stop right there. Stay right where you are.
01:03I didn't do it.
01:05I didn't do it.
01:07I didn't do it!
01:17I didn't do it!
01:22I didn't do it.
01:23The body had been there 10, maybe 12 hours by the time they got there.
01:27So who's the poor sod in the back?
01:29No wallet or ID.
01:31Head stov'd in.
01:32Multiple blows from a blunt instrument.
01:35Toolkit in the back of the car.
01:36A weapon might have come from that.
01:38Friends would attack, judging by the splatter patterns.
01:42You love saying splatter patterns, don't you?
01:44Two kids already in custody.
01:46Looks like they've taken a half the sat-navs within a square mile.
01:50Right.
01:51So, is this still an HQ for Toms?
01:53Yeah.
01:54Might explain why is John Thomas' hanging out.
01:57Lois interruptus, if you ask me.
01:59Ron, PNC results.
02:01Vehicle belonged to a Frank McCallum.
02:03Vyman.
02:06Previously Detective Sergeant McCallum.
02:08Used to be a copper.
02:09And vice.
02:11It's one of us.
02:12The End
02:19The End
02:20The End
03:21He used to bring me an orange lily every Friday night.
03:24I'd call him a hopeless romantic. He'd say, no, just hopeless.
03:31Working for Vice changed him.
03:35He stopped being the man I married.
03:37That's what being a copper does.
03:41It's you from the inside.
03:46Is there anyone your luck is to contact?
03:49I wanted kids.
03:51I told him he'd be a great dad.
03:53He was a good man.
04:00Don't let him say something.
04:01She's got your message.
04:03Thanks, Josh.
04:03I'm sorry, sir. You are?
04:09I'm Josh Pritchard. I'm Frank's boss.
04:12Oh, um, DS Brooks. This is DS Devlin.
04:17PC Cook will take you home.
04:19Just give us a call if you need it.
04:21Speak to you in a minute, right?
04:27Battlefields.
04:28Is that your company?
04:30Yeah, with a Z.
04:31It's a paintballing sensor out in the Pink Forest.
04:36Frank's our operational director.
04:38And what does that job involve?
04:40Everything.
04:41Um, security.
04:45Supplies.
04:46Making sure the arenas were in good nick.
04:52He did a fantastic job.
04:55Tell me, was he into prostitutes?
05:01What kind of question is that?
05:03A relevant one.
05:06You know, I don't know, do I?
05:08And why on earth would you tell me that?
05:10It's not the kind of conversation you normally have with your boss, is it?
05:14We've got teams going house to house looking for witnesses.
05:17CCTV.
05:18Not round there.
05:19Local kids have a league table so you can knock out the most cameras.
05:22We're checking all the private systems in a half-mile radius,
05:25but it's going to take time.
05:27A murder weapon to make things too easy.
05:29Well, the search teams haven't turned anything up, that's for sure.
05:32I mean, forensics have found some prints in a prelim exam at a car,
05:36but none of them, by the way, match our records.
05:38Or maybe our girl's new in town.
05:39Oh, boy.
05:41You think it's a prostitute scam gone wrong?
05:43Well, he does.
05:44I don't.
05:46McCallum's ex-Vice.
05:47He knows the ropes.
05:48He ain't going to get scammed and bashed to death in his own motor, is he?
05:52Revenge killing, then.
05:53Someone he had to run in with at vice.
05:55So why's he got his ninky-nok out when they find it?
05:58You don't really call it a ninky-nok.
06:01Yeah, what I call you.
06:03Talk to the friendly neighbourhood tarts and find out what they've heard.
06:06The bloke was murdered under the bridge last night.
06:15You hear anything about that?
06:16Bit off for a cop of you, aren't you?
06:18Do you mind, love?
06:19His head's big enough already without you adding to it.
06:22Maybe a girl was trying to rip him off.
06:24Something got out of hand.
06:26Do you mind?
06:26You know it's scam hunters around here.
06:28You start getting a reputation like that, business dies on you.
06:31Anyone new around the place?
06:33Someone who might not understand the rules?
06:35You help us out this time.
06:36I'll throw in a get-out-of-jail-free card next time you need to solicit him.
06:41There's a new girl, yeah?
06:43Around the back of Paddington.
06:44A little Irish girl.
06:46Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:47Blonde, mousy, yeah.
06:49Green eyes, looks about 12.
06:52It's a good market for her.
06:55What does she have a name?
06:58New!
06:58Niamh, bloke's asking for you by name.
07:02Hello, Niamh.
07:04Know yourself?
07:07Do I know you?
07:08Not really.
07:09No, but you might know this.
07:12What?
07:13Your old bill?
07:14Don't you have anything better to do with your life?
07:17That bag's almost as big as you, love.
07:19What have you got in there?
07:22Not much.
07:24Well, do you mind showing this?
07:28He's belonged to Frank McCallum.
07:49He was murdered yesterday.
07:50You were arrested on suspicion of his murder.
07:59No.
08:00I found them.
08:02On the pavement near the railway lines.
08:04Where are you from, Niamh?
08:14If I had to guess, I would say Dungannon.
08:19Or a village just outside, like, um...
08:22Cookstown?
08:23It's about five miles away.
08:29I've got a family.
08:31Distant family.
08:34Mad family, actually.
08:35Don't see them much, thank God.
08:44Your parents know you're here?
08:45Yeah.
08:50My mum's dead.
08:51My dad's a bastard.
08:56Snap.
08:59We're related, do you think?
09:10Niamh.
09:11Niamh.
09:13The man that was murdered used to be a policeman.
09:17So for myself and Matt here, it's like losing a member of our family.
09:21You were found with that murdered man's property on you.
09:28Your fingerprints were in his car.
09:31Tell us what happened.
09:36The driver's door was open.
09:38He was already dead, lying in the back.
09:44There was no one around.
09:47I promise you on my life, I didn't do it.
09:55The coat was in the back.
09:57The wallet and phone were in there.
09:58So I grabbed him, took the keys, shot it all up.
10:02Look at me.
10:06You think I could kill him?
10:08Well, you know, some days I think anybody's capable of anything.
10:11OK.
10:14We're going to charge you with theft of articles from the car, and we're going to keep you here
10:19until we can get a full forensic report.
10:21I told you I didn't.
10:22I know, sweetheart.
10:24I know.
10:27But sometimes people lie.
10:31Niamh Quinn is telling the truth.
10:35Of all the stuff under her fingernails, and really, you don't want to know.
10:40No skin or blood from Frank McCollum.
10:43Plus, she doesn't share the same lipstick as a killer.
10:46What, you took a lipstick trace off his...
10:51Wang Doodle.
10:52Oh, yeah.
10:53But she could have other lipsticks.
10:55Well, this one's Blush by Niamh.
10:57Now, it's not one you get in Superdrug.
10:59Thought you could have to go.
11:01American manufacturer.
11:03Only self-ordered stocking.
11:06Classy girl he had in his crutch.
11:08From the text messages folder on his mobile, text from a Sanchia.
11:14Urgent, must see you tonight, don't mess me about.
11:20And what do we know about this Sanchia?
11:22I called the number.
11:23She's the accountant at a paintballing centre.
11:28Battlefields.
11:29With a Z.
11:31Nice work.
11:32We'd been on a date.
11:40He'd been asking for a while, and I sort of gave in.
11:45I got drunk quite quickly that night.
11:48He ended up back at mine.
11:50When he asked about going out again, I said no.
11:54That's when he tried to blackmail me.
11:56How is he going to do that?
11:57I work in accounts.
12:00I know the systems.
12:03Sometimes I get people in for free.
12:05And take a few of the supplies.
12:08I told Frank when I was drunk.
12:10So after you turned him down, he tried to use that against you?
12:13He locked the office door and said he'd report me to Mr. Pritchard
12:16unless I went out with him again.
12:19Basically slept with him.
12:21I told him to take a running jump.
12:23Can I ask you what kind of lipstick you wear, Sancha?
12:27I don't.
12:28Where were you Wednesday between noon and 5pm?
12:32Here, all afternoon.
12:34Health and safety course, with half a dozen other staff.
12:37Sancha's alibi is rock solid.
12:40Your little friend, Neve, she really isn't a credible suspect.
12:44She's naive, no worse than that.
12:46We need to know more about the victim.
12:48We need to know who was Frank McCallum.
12:50We've turned over his flat.
12:52Nothing of interest.
12:53Sparse little gaff in with green.
12:56Classic divorce bloke.
12:57On his own.
12:58Totally unhomely and depressing.
13:00Not all divorce blokes live like that.
13:02There's Mr. Frayed carpet in the corner of his lounge.
13:05The people before me had a cat.
13:07What are you doing with those ties?
13:09Vice are holding a weight for McCallum down at the Golden Island.
13:12I thought we should just nip down there
13:13and see if we can find out a bit more about him.
13:16Excellent.
13:17Frank would ask me to check out people's records.
13:22Number plates, that sort of thing.
13:24Usually about employees of the paintball place.
13:27When did you last speak?
13:30I don't know, ten days ago.
13:33He wanted me to check out a false charge on the company credit card.
13:36Frank thought it might have been phished.
13:39Internet fraud.
13:39And what did you find out?
13:41Well, there was a legit company behind the charge.
13:45Velvet Holdings.
13:47But I don't know what he did with the information.
13:49He never came back.
13:50Did Frank have a taste for prostitutes?
13:52Just show a bit of respect, will you?
13:54Is that a yes or a no?
13:56Look, Frank was a good copper.
13:57But he wore his heart on his sleeve.
14:00He fell in love four times a day
14:02and nothing got to him more than a hard luck story.
14:05He thought he could help the girls, you know?
14:07Fix their lives.
14:10Worst place for a bloke like that is vice.
14:14Right, we're going to need the names of the people he pissed off.
14:17That wasn't Frank.
14:19I mean, he was putting his life back together.
14:20He was doing good.
14:22Sorry, boys.
14:24You've hit a dead end.
14:25No, I've never heard of Velvet Holdings.
14:37Sorry.
14:38My not, my not, my not.
14:39Um, but Frank McCallum asked an ex-colleague of his
14:43to investigate an apparently fraudulent charge
14:47made by them to your company credit card.
14:50No details about Velvet in any of McCallum's files.
14:53So, how many people are authorised to use a company credit card?
14:59I don't know, three, I think, but I'll sense you.
15:02Well, I need the names of those authorised users,
15:05plus the account statements for the last few months.
15:09Sure.
15:12Sorry, Mr Pritchard.
15:14You said you'd never heard of Velvet Holdings.
15:17No.
15:17Well, Battlefields made seven payments to them last month
15:25at £1,000 a throw.
15:28And half a dozen the month before that.
15:32Well, maybe it's a supply that's changed their name.
15:36Er, it's actually got those invoices on there.
15:41Give me a second, I'll look.
15:42Each payment was made using company credit card number two.
15:47Who uses that?
15:49Er, it's probably Frank.
15:52Velvet Holdings.
15:55Miscellaneous supplies.
15:56Very miscellaneous.
15:58Seeing as neither of you know about them.
16:02Check company's house.
16:04Get a full FIU, we'll see what we can get from them.
16:12I've a camera tech for the glamour.
16:14What happens?
16:15I spend most of my nights here
16:16trawling through paperwork with you.
16:18Yeah, well, you can bet your life
16:21Frank McCallum did exactly the same
16:22when he was on the job.
16:24Just remember why you're doing this, Matt.
16:31Fourteen blows to the head.
16:35What kind of person does that?
16:39So, where are we?
16:41Well, company search, Velvet Holdings.
16:44Look, nothing.
16:46No phone numbers, no website emails,
16:50no business accounts.
16:51Nothing.
16:52No clues about what they do.
16:54Although registered offices in Oxford Street,
16:57I mean, we go there,
16:59we could find an operating address,
17:01maybe even some names.
17:04We're a clearinghouse.
17:07Company's put this as a registered address
17:09for official mail.
17:11Inland Revenue Company's house.
17:13We forward it on to where they're really based.
17:18So, what, you sit here all day forwarding letters?
17:22All day, every day.
17:25I'm not allowed a computer,
17:27cos that'd be too distracting.
17:29And that camera monitors me
17:32all day, every day.
17:36You enjoy your job, Kieran?
17:46I'm a facade.
17:49Velvet Holdings?
17:50Yes, here we go.
17:51That's everything we've got on file.
17:55OK, Velvet Holdings have their mail
17:57forwarded onto a shop in Barnes
17:59called Toby's Playroom.
18:01Let's have a look at that phone number.
18:02Yep, Frank McCannum's mobile bill.
18:09He called that shop the day before he was killed.
18:15Velvet's, er, trading division of the shop.
18:18I think the accountant advised Em
18:20to set it up for some tax break.
18:23A man called, er, Frank McCannum
18:25rang here a couple of days ago.
18:27Do you know what that was about?
18:30No, sorry, I didn't speak to him.
18:33I did.
18:34Oh, Emma, this is Detective Sergeant,
18:36um, sorry.
18:38DS Brooks is DS Devlin.
18:39Hello.
18:40Emma Sandbrook, I own the shop.
18:42Er, yes, no, er, Frank,
18:44I spoke to him last week.
18:45He rang about his delivery
18:46to see if it had come in.
18:48We supply, er, kid's stuff
18:50to his paintball company.
18:53Kids and paint.
18:54My idea of hell.
18:55Did you make the delivery?
18:58Er, no, he picked it up himself
18:59on Tuesday, I think.
19:01And what about Wednesday?
19:02Did you see him then?
19:03No, I don't think so.
19:07You're not sure?
19:09Er, no, actually, no,
19:12it can't have been.
19:13That's when we went shopping.
19:15Yeah, that's right.
19:16Yeah, we don't work Wednesday afternoons.
19:18We tend to treat ourselves.
19:19We took the train into, er,
19:21Bond Street and had a late lunch
19:23and a bit of winter shopping,
19:26that sort of thing.
19:28Well, you've got some nice stuff.
19:31Have you been open long?
19:33Er, about three and a half years.
19:39Is everything all right with Frank?
19:41Frank, he was beaten to death
19:44on Wednesday afternoon.
19:52Oh, my God, that's terrible.
19:59Well, we'll be in touch
20:01if we need anything else.
20:02She said he rang about a delivery,
20:11but he picked the stuff up himself
20:13from Epping to Bond.
20:15And he's the operational director.
20:17No.
20:18Why bother with that?
20:20And why do Battlefields with a Z
20:22have them listed under miscellaneous supplies
20:24in their accounts?
20:25They've got a category for that sort of stuff.
20:28Well, maybe it was a mistake.
20:29Depends what you favour,
20:31conspiracy or cock-up.
20:33You know me, Matty.
20:34I believe everything everyone tells me
20:36and I'm disappointed on a daily basis.
20:39So if it's not paintballing equipment,
20:41what are they supplying to Battlefields?
20:44Could be a drugs front
20:46dealing code to the middle classes
20:49of South West London.
20:52No.
20:53You've got the accounts
20:55fired for Velvet Holdings?
20:57Yep.
20:57All legit on the surface.
20:59So I go below the surface.
21:02Talk to everyone
21:03who's made payments into the company
21:05and find out exactly
21:06what they're paying for.
21:09Feet off the table.
21:13I work like a bastard down here
21:15Monday to Friday.
21:17I'm allowed a bit of play.
21:19Well, we'd just like to know
21:21what the girls from Velvet Holdings
21:23supply you with.
21:25Don't try and put any stigma on me, lads.
21:29I could have an affair,
21:31be keeping a bird here,
21:32but I couldn't live with myself.
21:34This way, it's a business transaction.
21:37We all have a good time,
21:39they get paid,
21:41and I'm not betraying the wife.
21:43They're prozzies.
21:44Bloody good ones.
21:46High class doesn't come into it.
21:49Save up, lads.
21:51Treat yourselves.
21:52Do you recognise these women?
22:00Oh, aye.
22:01There we go.
22:02That's coral,
22:03and that's amber.
22:06Bloody hell.
22:08I get a rod on like Nelson's column
22:10just thinking about her.
22:12School like this can't come cheap.
22:28And that's before you even
22:29bought the first tennis racket.
22:31Look, Ron,
22:31there's enough gaps
22:32to what they're saying
22:33to bring him in.
22:34Yeah, I know,
22:34but still,
22:35I hate this bit.
22:38Splitting families.
22:39That's so good.
22:41You're selling so much fun.
22:43I've been improving a lot.
22:45You have, my love.
22:48Hello, gentlemen.
22:51This is Sandbrook.
22:54This is my son, Toby.
22:56He's just been selected
22:57to represent the school.
22:58Isn't it great?
23:00Nice work, mate.
23:01Thanks.
23:04Go ask your father
23:05for a drink, my love.
23:09Is everything okay?
23:11We'd like you to come
23:12with us to the station.
23:15Now?
23:17It's related to
23:18Frank McCallum's death.
23:21I'm sorry.
23:22We can't.
23:23Not now.
23:23We're with our boys.
23:24I'm a Sandbrook.
23:26Kate Barton.
23:26I'm arresting you
23:27on the suspicion
23:27of the murder
23:28of Frank McCallum.
23:30You do not have to say anything,
23:31but it may harm your defence
23:33if you do not mention
23:34when questioned something
23:35which you later rely on
23:36in court.
23:37Anything you do say
23:38may be given in evidence.
23:40No, what's going on?
23:40Nothing.
23:41These, uh...
23:43These policemen
23:44would like to ask us
23:45about a guy
23:46who bought some stuff
23:47from the shop,
23:47that's all.
23:49Can't it wait, chaps?
23:50No, it can't.
23:52I'm sorry, sir.
23:54Take Joe.
23:55Tim's getting changed.
23:57Give them tea.
23:58I'll pick them up later.
23:59We won't be lost.
24:00What?
24:01The car's this way.
24:04Come on.
24:04Come on.
24:05What's going on?
24:10See you later, darling.
24:11Nothing.
24:13See you later.
24:25Kate, we checked
24:26with Selfridges
24:27and they've got no record
24:28of you at the restaurant
24:29the afternoon
24:30Frank McCallum
24:31was killed.
24:31We didn't have
24:35a reservation
24:35and we paid cash.
24:38Well, there's no sign
24:39of you on the CCTV
24:39cameras along Bond Street
24:41either.
24:43Have you got any receipts
24:44for your purchases?
24:45I threw them away.
24:50I'm sorry.
24:51Kate,
24:53I've been married twice.
24:56No woman throws away receipts
24:58for clothes
24:59they've only just bought.
25:03How did the prostitution start?
25:05Prefer to call ourselves
25:10Escorts.
25:10Well, that's classier.
25:12I agree.
25:13But whatever you want
25:14to call it,
25:14how did it start?
25:20They bought our house
25:21five years ago.
25:22Top of what we could afford.
25:25A year later,
25:27I found my husband
25:27was having an affair.
25:30After I chucked him out,
25:31I found out
25:33he'd run up debt
25:34in my name.
25:38We owed on
25:39the boys' school fees.
25:42I was 40 grand
25:43in debt.
25:44I couldn't cover
25:45the mortgage.
25:53You ever been
25:54in so much debt?
25:57It's like you can't breathe.
25:58Did you kill
26:02Frank McCallum?
26:03Did Emma?
26:09We were shopping
26:10all afternoon.
26:13Frank McCallum
26:14had a wife
26:15who loved him,
26:17a job he enjoyed,
26:18and a lot of mates
26:19who are struggling
26:20to understand
26:20why at the age of 47
26:22he is dead.
26:24If you provide
26:25a false alibi
26:26for a killer,
26:28you are in just
26:30as much trouble
26:31as they are.
26:33Misguided loyalty
26:35will not help you
26:37or your sons.
26:47Telling the truth.
26:50Steve and I
26:51put all our money
26:52into starting up
26:52the shop.
26:54We remortgage,
26:55we took out a loan,
26:56and lost money
26:58hand over fist
26:59every month.
26:59It just got worse
27:00and worse,
27:01and then Steve
27:02lost his bloody job.
27:04And...
27:05I knew Kate
27:11through the school.
27:13We were in
27:14the same situation.
27:15and we'd sit
27:18in our kitchen
27:19in the evenings,
27:20drinking wine,
27:22trying to come up
27:22with a solution.
27:26We were joking
27:27at first,
27:27and then I just thought,
27:28well, why not?
27:30What's that bad
27:30about that?
27:31We don't do the scuzzy
27:36hand.
27:39We pre-select
27:40and vet all our clients.
27:43Mostly young blokes
27:44with some money,
27:45some clothes.
27:47Sounds almost
27:47aspirational.
27:49Don't judge me.
27:50I know what I am.
27:59I know what people
28:00will think of me.
28:03And does it matter
28:04to you what people
28:05will think?
28:09I've been doing it
28:10to keep my family
28:11together.
28:12I've been doing it
28:12to keep my family together.
28:20I'm good at it.
28:26I make others feel good.
28:31Emma.
28:35I'm afraid your DNA
28:36was all over
28:37the murder scene.
28:39On Frank McCallum's body
28:41and on a tool kit
28:42in the back of his car.
28:44That would have been
28:45the Tuesday.
28:48He came to the shop
28:49to pick up his order.
28:51I helped him load
28:52stuff into the car.
28:54I must have moved
28:54the tool kit.
28:55We searched your house.
28:56We found this
28:57blush by Nyman.
29:03Also found on
29:04Frank McCallum's body.
29:07Nice colour.
29:08Suits you.
29:12I'm not a murderer.
29:13Sorry, Emma.
29:16We're going to charge you
29:17with the murder
29:18of Frank McCallum.
29:19Emma Sandbrook's DNA
29:26was plastered
29:27all over Frank McCallum's car.
29:29Mm-hmm.
29:30Traces of her rare
29:31and expensive lipstick
29:33were on his body.
29:34But we don't have
29:35a murder weapon
29:36and she's denying
29:37she was there.
29:37She'd have us believe
29:38that he was murdered
29:39by some random
29:40street prostitute.
29:41So, how are you going
29:43to stand this helping God?
29:44With motive.
29:45What provokes Emma Sandbrook
29:48into such a brutal attack?
29:51Mm-hmm.
29:51Find out we unlock the case,
29:53Frank McCallum gets justice.
29:54Mm-hmm.
29:54They had sex in the car.
29:57He refuses to pay.
29:58She gets angry.
29:59Nope.
30:00Inconsistent.
30:00She's a thousand pound
30:01escort.
30:02All her other clients
30:03she saw in hotels
30:05or in their own homes.
30:06Maybe car sex
30:07turned Frank McCallum on.
30:08George is right.
30:10I don't think Emma
30:12would have taken that risk.
30:14Every aspect of their work
30:16was careful,
30:18pre-planned,
30:19safety conscious.
30:20Hey, long way
30:21from what it is.
30:22You've got a lot
30:22of work to do.
30:23Why did she get in the car?
30:25What happened after she did?
30:27Phyllis, do you mind?
30:28We're in conference here.
30:30You need to get
30:30a new receptionist.
30:31That one's very easy
30:32to get past.
30:34Phyllis Gladstone
30:35representing Emma Sandbrook.
30:37I've seen you defend.
30:38Did I get her off?
30:39Yep.
30:40So what are you doing
30:41in this case?
30:42When do prostitutes
30:43fly the flag
30:44for women's rights?
30:45Sexual exploitation
30:46of women.
30:47That's the knob here.
30:48What?
30:49How did you make that leap?
30:50Drop the charges.
30:51You'll never make it home
30:52with this.
30:52The DNA evidence
30:53is irrefutable.
30:54Ah, the great god
30:56of science.
30:58I'll turn it to dust
30:59beneath my fingers.
31:00Motive?
31:02Oat.
31:07You don't know, do you?
31:08Oat.
31:10Good.
31:11Good.
31:12I'll tell my client.
31:17She's impossible.
31:19And brilliant.
31:21You'll have to find out, Motive.
31:24Start prodding the husband.
31:26You must be feeling
31:27a little bruised.
31:29She wasn't in the car.
31:31She didn't kill him.
31:32I know her.
31:34But until this came out,
31:36you didn't know
31:36she was a prostitute.
31:38Stop calling her that.
31:42I'm sorry.
31:43Sometimes it's too much
31:50to take in.
31:55Before we got married,
31:56I told her,
32:00if she ever slept
32:01with anyone else,
32:02I'm out.
32:04No discussions,
32:05no second chances.
32:05I'll just leave.
32:06So why are you still here?
32:07So why are you still here?
32:12Couldn't do it.
32:16Maybe I should
32:16take Tony and go.
32:21There's no off switch
32:23when you
32:23love someone,
32:25is there?
32:26I just want to keep
32:30the family
32:30together.
32:33So long as that
32:34doesn't include
32:35lying for them.
32:40I've told you
32:40everything she told me.
32:43She wasn't there.
32:45Did you find anything
32:46on Frank McCallum's
32:47credit card bill?
32:48Yes.
32:49Almost every time
32:50there's a Velvet
32:51Holdings charge,
32:53there's a charge
32:53the same day
32:54from Hotel 103,
32:56a small hotel
32:57in Marlebone.
32:59Could be the love
32:59pay.
33:00That's what I was
33:01thinking.
33:02But the last payment
33:03was three weeks
33:04before the murder.
33:06So what?
33:08After that,
33:09they switched hotels?
33:10I don't think so.
33:12No more charges
33:13on the card.
33:14Maybe they had
33:15falling out,
33:16stopped seeing each other.
33:17See if any of the
33:20staff noticed
33:21anything odd
33:22about the last time
33:23McCallum and Emma
33:24were there.
33:24Sure.
33:28Checking in at
33:292.24pm
33:31on the 19th?
33:32Yeah.
33:34Give me a sec.
33:37There you go.
33:41That's her.
33:42And that's
33:43your Mr. McCallum.
33:47No, it's not.
33:57What exactly is it
33:59you want me to say?
34:00You lied to the police.
34:03You were having sex
34:04with the woman
34:05accused of murdering
34:06one of your employees
34:07and you forgot to mention it.
34:08Okay, so I'm, you know,
34:10really terribly sorry.
34:11Just stop going on about it.
34:13You told police
34:14the charges
34:14were on Frank McCallum's card.
34:17I promise you,
34:18I swear to God,
34:18I'd cross my heart
34:19and hope to die, right?
34:20I had nothing to do
34:21with Frank McCallum's death.
34:24Nor did Amber.
34:26Emma.
34:26Emma.
34:28Emma Sambra.
34:29What was she doing
34:36in a car
34:37with Frank McCallum?
34:41I asked them
34:42to find her.
34:43Why?
34:44Because a couple
34:45of weeks ago
34:46she, uh,
34:47Emma,
34:48said that she didn't
34:50want to continue
34:50with our meetings.
34:53Why?
34:54I don't know.
34:55She said it was
34:56nothing personal.
34:59It was, um,
35:00her, not me.
35:02Maybe I was just
35:03getting a little bit
35:04too close
35:04or something.
35:06I don't know.
35:08I'll tell you,
35:09those two hours
35:09were the best
35:10part of my week,
35:12you know.
35:13I asked her to live
35:14with me because
35:15I wanted a relationship
35:16run, you know,
35:17just a transaction.
35:21And about then
35:22she stopped
35:22returning my calls.
35:23And so I,
35:25I knew that, uh,
35:27Frankie had been
35:28in the police force
35:29so I asked him
35:29to find her for me.
35:31You sent
35:31Eric McCallum
35:33after Emma Sambrake
35:34and then you
35:35lied about it.
35:37Persistent.
35:42I,
35:43I didn't know
35:46what else to do,
35:47you know.
35:53I love her.
35:54I love her.
35:59So, Frank McCallum
36:00lied to his old friend
36:02advice about why
36:03he needed information
36:04on Velvet Holdings.
36:05It wasn't credit card
36:06fraud.
36:06He wanted to find
36:07Emma for Josh.
36:08And we know he did
36:10because he called her
36:10at the shop.
36:12Which means he knew
36:13everything.
36:14Her real name,
36:14the fact that she was
36:15married with a child.
36:16Is that why she got
36:18in his car
36:18rather than meet him
36:19at Hotel 103?
36:22So she didn't meet him
36:23for sex at all?
36:24He picks her up,
36:26drives her somewhere
36:26out of the way.
36:28Where he threatens
36:29to tell the whole
36:30of Barnes about her
36:31secret?
36:32Unless she sleeps with
36:33him whenever he wants.
36:34It's the same thing
36:35he demanded of the woman
36:36at the paintball company.
36:37Emma's driving force
36:40all along was to
36:41keep her family together.
36:42That's why she sold
36:43sex in the first place.
36:45So what happens
36:46if Frank McCallum
36:47threatens to expose
36:49a secret that would
36:50make her husband leave
36:51and tear her family apart?
36:56And you think that
36:57gives Emma Sandbrook
36:58a motive for murder?
37:01Yuck.
37:02Big yuck.
37:03What a stretch.
37:05That theory will sag
37:06like an undercooked
37:07souffle in court.
37:09After she killed him,
37:10she panicked.
37:11Did the first thing
37:12that came to mind.
37:14She put lipstick
37:15around his penis
37:16to make it look
37:17like he'd been
37:17with a prostitute.
37:19Not realizing
37:19her lipstick
37:20was easily traceable
37:22back to her.
37:22She wasn't there.
37:25She didn't do it.
37:27Emma pleads guilty
37:28to manslaughter
37:29on grounds of provocation.
37:30Frank McCallum's widow
37:31has then saved
37:32the trauma of a trial.
37:34show some humanity,
37:37Phyllis.
37:37And if my client
37:38refuses your offer?
37:40We'll try her for murder.
37:41She can look forward
37:41to a much heftier sentence.
37:43Take this offer.
37:45Emma could get
37:45as little as five years.
37:48She'd be out in time
37:49to see Toby
37:49do his GCSEs.
37:51I'll put your suggestion
37:52to my client.
37:53Now, if you'll excuse me,
37:54I do have other work.
37:57Think she'll take it?
37:59I'd never predict
38:00Phyllis Gladstone.
38:01If she refuses,
38:02light mills a good mitigation,
38:04even at a murder trial.
38:06It's mostly a normal defense.
38:08You're never going
38:08to believe this.
38:10Emma Sandbrook
38:11wants to confess.
38:13Frank McCallum
38:14came to the shop.
38:15He said that he worked
38:17for Josh Pritchard
38:18and that he knew
38:19all about me.
38:21He said that if I didn't
38:22get in the car with him,
38:23he'd drive straight around
38:24to see my husband.
38:24I couldn't bear
38:28the thought of it
38:29all coming out
38:30so I got in the car
38:30with him.
38:32He drove and parked up
38:34and then he locked
38:35the doors
38:35and said that he wouldn't
38:38tell my husband anything
38:39so long as I agreed
38:40to have sex with him
38:42free of charge
38:43whenever he wanted.
38:46I told him
38:48I wasn't going to do that
38:49and I tried to get
38:51out of the car
38:52and that's when
38:55he grabbed me.
38:57Where did he grab you?
38:59First by the wrist
39:00and then by the hair
39:01and he pulled my head
39:04down into his crutch
39:07and forced me to...
39:14I'm sorry, Emma.
39:15We have to be clear
39:17about this.
39:18What did Frank McCallum
39:20force you to do?
39:24To perform oral sex
39:25on him.
39:28I was struggling.
39:32I managed to push him
39:33off me
39:34and crawled
39:35into the back
39:36of the car
39:36but he came after me
39:38and I was trapped.
39:41I saw the spanner
39:42on top of the open
39:43toolkit
39:44and...
39:45Frank was...
39:49he was clawing at me
39:53pulling at my clothes
39:54so I grabbed the spanner
39:57and swung it.
40:01I was protecting myself.
40:05I thought he was going
40:06to kill me.
40:09Attempted rape?
40:11When did you
40:12dream that up?
40:13It's the truth.
40:15It happened
40:16just as she said
40:17and no jury
40:19hearing that
40:19will convict her
40:20of murder.
40:20Why didn't she mention
40:24the rape before?
40:25She didn't think
40:26she'd be believed.
40:27Really?
40:28She's hardly
40:28the shy
40:29retiring wolf.
40:30We know
40:30Frank McCallum
40:31asked another woman
40:32for sex
40:33in exchange
40:33for keeping
40:34things quiet.
40:35And we know
40:36that he never
40:37went further
40:37than asking.
40:38Every rapist
40:39starts somewhere.
40:39If you can find
40:41me proof
40:42within the evidence
40:43to support
40:43Emma's assertion
40:44I'll listen
40:45but until then
40:46my duty
40:46is to the
40:47murder victim.
40:48He's still owed
40:50justice.
40:53So do you think
40:54you can make it
40:55home with what
40:56you've got
40:57on this case?
41:02Yeah.
41:04Good.
41:06No further
41:07arrangements.
41:09Emma Sandbrook
41:10stands trial
41:10for Mulder.
41:16Oh, by the way
41:17Emma's husband
41:18has corroborated
41:19her story.
41:20He told her
41:21to stay away
41:22from the police.
41:23He disposed
41:24of the murder
41:24weapon.
41:26The police
41:26are locating it
41:27now based
41:27on his information.
41:29He changed
41:29his story.
41:30Oh, sweetie
41:31don't look
41:31so disappointed.
41:32So, not only
41:34is Emma lying
41:35she's got others
41:37lying for her
41:37as well.
41:38You're not
41:39convincing me
41:40and you won't
41:40convince a jury.
41:41Lies rarely
41:42sustain under
41:43pressure, Phyllis.
41:46Well, we'll soon
41:46find out.
41:48May the best
41:49man win.
41:55Is it correct
41:56that in 1998
41:58a sex worker
41:59called Debbie
42:00Kane complained
42:02to the police
42:03complaints authority
42:04that she was
42:05arrested by
42:06Frank McCallum
42:07after refusing
42:08to have sex
42:09with him?
42:10That complaint
42:11was not upheld.
42:12And subsequently
42:12in 2002
42:14a sex worker
42:15called Lisa
42:15McCormack
42:16filed a similar
42:17complaint.
42:18Also dismissed.
42:20It's very easy
42:21for prostitutes
42:22to make these
42:22complaints.
42:24Frank wasn't
42:24that sort of bloke.
42:25Were complaints
42:26made against
42:27anyone else
42:29in the vice squad?
42:31Not to my
42:32knowledge, no.
42:37Did those
42:39complaints
42:40allege
42:41Detective
42:42McCallum
42:42used violence?
42:43Absolutely not.
42:45Do you know
42:45why they were
42:46dismissed?
42:47Well, they were
42:47thoroughly
42:47investigated by
42:48the PCA.
42:49There was
42:49an on-the-record
42:50hearing.
42:52They concluded
42:52there was no
42:53evidence to
42:53support the
42:54charges.
42:54No saliva
43:01in the lipstick.
43:02Sorry?
43:03I've been
43:04back through
43:04forensics.
43:06The lipstick
43:06marks on
43:07Frank McCallum's
43:08body didn't
43:09contain traces
43:10of saliva.
43:12Contradicting
43:13Emma's evidence
43:14that McCallum
43:15forced her to
43:16perform oral
43:16sex.
43:17So, I asked
43:18forensics to
43:19check back for
43:19other inconsistencies.
43:22They queried
43:23why the
43:24lipstick was
43:24the only
43:25marking on
43:26McCallum's
43:26penis.
43:27If it had
43:28been outside
43:28of his
43:29clothes during
43:29the attack,
43:30it should
43:31have been
43:31splattered
43:32with blood.
43:33But it
43:34wasn't.
43:35Which means
43:36the lipstick
43:37was applied
43:38after she
43:39killed
43:39Frank McCallum.
43:41The facts
43:41undermine
43:42Emma's
43:42story.
43:44She was
43:45in the
43:45car.
43:46But she
43:47wasn't
43:47raped.
43:51Hello?
43:53Hi.
43:54I'm
43:55Annie McCallum,
43:56Frank's wife.
43:57Oh, come in.
43:58Come in.
43:59James
43:59Steel.
44:01I was in
44:02court this
44:03morning.
44:03I know what
44:04they're trying
44:04to do.
44:06Now, Frank
44:07was many
44:07things, but
44:09he wasn't a
44:09rapist.
44:11We believe
44:12you.
44:13But are the
44:14jury going to
44:14believe that?
44:16You know, she
44:16killed him, and
44:18now she's lying
44:18about him.
44:20Who's speaking
44:21out for Frank?
44:23Who's defending
44:24him?
44:25We are.
44:26I promise.
44:28I thought the
44:29money came from
44:30the shop.
44:31I didn't think
44:32to ask questions,
44:33not when we
44:33needed it so
44:34badly.
44:37The money
44:37Emma earned
44:38was a
44:41lifesaver.
44:42before that,
44:44we were in
44:44massive trouble.
44:47If Emma's
44:47acquitted, will
44:48you let her
44:49come home?
44:51Yes.
44:56We're a
44:57family.
45:00Toby needs
45:01none.
45:03So, despite
45:04everything, you're
45:05here giving
45:07evidence in
45:09support of your
45:09wife.
45:12I don't
45:13agree with
45:14her selling
45:14sex.
45:17But I
45:18understand why
45:19she did it.
45:21She sacrificed
45:22herself to keep
45:23the family
45:23together.
45:28And I'm
45:29certain she's
45:31telling the
45:31truth about
45:32what happened
45:32in the car.
45:39Is it
45:40difficult being
45:41continually
45:42humiliated by
45:43your wife,
45:44Mr. Sandbrook?
45:45Pertinent
45:45questions, Mr.
45:47Steele, please.
45:49Emma comes
45:51to you in
45:51tears and
45:53she tells you
45:55she just
45:56killed a man
45:56who tried to
45:57rape her
45:58and you tell
45:59her not to
46:00go to the
46:01police.
46:02I was worried
46:03they wouldn't
46:04believe her.
46:05You're not a
46:05stupid man.
46:06you must have
46:08known they'd
46:09find out.
46:10I don't.
46:11I mean,
46:12it wasn't the
46:14best decision.
46:17None of this
46:18is the truth,
46:19is it?
46:22Your wife
46:23never told you
46:23she killed
46:24Frank McCallum
46:25in self-defense,
46:26did she?
46:26I've told you
46:27what happened.
46:28She came up
46:28with the story
46:29of the attempted
46:30rape after
46:31she was arrested
46:32and demanded
46:33you go along
46:33with it.
46:34No.
46:34She told me
46:35she wasn't
46:36there.
46:38That's from
46:39your original
46:40statement.
46:42Were you lying
46:43then or are you
46:44lying now?
46:46Can anything
46:47you say
46:47be believed?
46:48in your line
46:54of work
46:55have you
46:57ever been
46:58asked to do
46:58things that
46:59you
47:00didn't want
47:02to do?
47:04One man
47:05threatened me
47:06with a carving
47:07knife.
47:08I had no
47:09choice but
47:10to let him
47:11do what he
47:12wanted.
47:14Rape you?
47:17Yes.
47:18What would
47:24have happened
47:24if you'd
47:25refused?
47:29I think
47:30he might
47:30have killed
47:31me.
47:38Mrs. Sandbrook
47:40was responsible
47:41for you
47:42becoming a
47:42prostitute.
47:43We discussed
47:44it together.
47:45it was a
47:48short-term
47:49solution
47:50to
47:51difficult
47:52problem.
47:54But you
47:55soon got
47:55used to
47:56the money.
47:56Neither of
47:57us were
47:57going to
47:58do it
47:58forever.
48:01Emma had
48:02been wanting
48:03to stop
48:03for a few
48:04months.
48:05She'd
48:05had enough.
48:08She wanted
48:09out
48:09before Steve
48:11discovered.
48:11no further
48:20questions.
48:22I will
48:23rise for
48:23the
48:23shorter
48:24German.
48:26Members
48:26of the
48:27jury,
48:27please be
48:28back here
48:28in one
48:29hour.
48:29me,
48:31Emma's
48:31police
48:32statement
48:33and every
48:34statement
48:34by her
48:35husband
48:35and by
48:36Kate.
48:36She's
48:37caught.
48:37Rise.
48:43When I
48:44saw the
48:44spanner,
48:44I just
48:45grabbed it
48:45and swung
48:47it.
48:49I was
48:50just trying
48:50to get
48:50him off
48:51me.
48:53Why didn't
48:53you go to
48:54the police?
48:56Because I
48:57knew they
48:57wouldn't see
48:57mum from
48:58Barnes.
48:58Just a
48:59whore.
48:59I was
49:02just trying
49:02to protect
49:03my family.
49:09Thank you,
49:10Emma.
49:16How many
49:17strangers
49:18have paid
49:19you to
49:19have sex
49:20with them?
49:25Answer
49:26the question,
49:26please,
49:27Mrs.
49:27Sandbrook.
49:2980?
49:3180?
49:32Maybe 90
49:33men?
49:34Were you
49:35proud of
49:36being a
49:36prostitute?
49:39Not proud,
49:40no.
49:43A shame,
49:45then?
49:48Sometimes.
49:49why did you
49:53want to stop
49:54being a
49:55prostitute?
49:56Why do you
49:57think?
49:58It's your
49:59evidence we
50:00require,
50:01Mrs.
50:01Sandbrook.
50:03I have a
50:04husband and
50:05son.
50:10I don't think
50:13I could
50:13I could carry on
50:16living with myself
50:17if I didn't stop
50:20doing it.
50:24So you felt
50:25guilty and ashamed?
50:28Like I said,
50:29yes, sometimes.
50:30I did, yes,
50:31sometimes.
50:33Were you worried
50:34that if your husband
50:35found out,
50:36he might leave you
50:37as he'd previously
50:38threatened?
50:38I never
50:43wanted to hurt
50:44Steve.
50:46So when
50:46Frank McCallum
50:48threatened to
50:49tell your husband
50:50you had no
50:51choice but to
50:52kill him?
50:54No, he
50:55tried to rape me.
50:55You reached
50:56for a spanner
50:56and you hit
50:59him 14 times.
51:0414
51:04times.
51:06That's a
51:10frenzied attack.
51:13What was he
51:14saying to you
51:14that made you
51:14sorry?
51:15He was
51:15attacking me.
51:16I told you.
51:16He brought out
51:17all that guilt
51:18and that shame
51:19and self-loathing
51:20that you'd worked
51:21so hard to bury,
51:22didn't he?
51:22No, I was
51:23biting him off.
51:24He was trying
51:26to rape me.
51:27Here was this
51:28man who was
51:28threatening to
51:29destroy your
51:30entire life.
51:31No.
51:31You just said
51:32you hated
51:33your life.
51:34You couldn't
51:35live with yourself
51:36and in that
51:36moment all that
51:37rage and fear
51:38came flooding
51:39out, didn't it?
51:41Was he still
51:41talking after the
51:42first blow with
51:43the spanner?
51:43I don't know.
51:44Or the second or
51:44the third or did
51:45it take a fork to
51:46shut him up?
51:46I don't know.
51:47Was he still
51:48threatening to
51:49tell Steve when
51:50you hit him the
51:50fifth time or
51:51the seventh or
51:52the ninth?
51:53It was fast.
51:54I don't know.
51:54So at what
51:55point did he
51:56actually lose
51:57consciousness when
51:59you could have
51:59managed to get
52:00out of the car if
52:01you'd wished after
52:01the eleventh blow or
52:03the thirteenth?
52:03I don't know.
52:04You don't know
52:05because your story
52:06is a lie, isn't
52:07it, Mrs. Sandbrook?
52:08He was trying to
52:09rape me.
52:10You panicked.
52:12He was clawing at me.
52:13You quickly altered
52:13the scene to make it
52:14look like a prostitute's
52:15attack by applying
52:16lipstick to Frank
52:17McCallum's dead body.
52:18No, I did not.
52:19Forensic tests found
52:20no saliva traces
52:22in the lipstick.
52:23You didn't attack him
52:30in self-defense, did
52:31you?
52:32If that was true, you
52:36would have fled the
52:37moment you fought him
52:37off.
52:38You killed him because
52:39he threatened to
52:40expose you as a
52:40prostitute, didn't you?
52:42No.
52:43No.
52:46No.
52:50Defendant, please rise.
52:53members of the jury,
52:59have you reached a
52:59verdict upon which
53:00you are all agreed?
53:04Yes.
53:05In relation to the
53:06count of the murder
53:07of Frank McCallum,
53:09do you find the
53:09defendant guilty
53:10or not guilty?
53:14Guilty.
53:14Guilty.
53:27I can't help thinking about Emma.
53:57Emma's family. Why did Emma force us to trial? She could have taken our first offer.
54:06There's always more than one victim. But it was the right verdict for Frank McCallum. Justice has been done.
54:27I can't help thinking about her.
54:57I can't help thinking about her.
