CRACKLING FIRE

0:00:020:00:04

HE MUMBLES

0:00:080:00:10

SOBBING

0:00:490:00:51

-Think I need to come up?

-It's more comfortable up here.

0:01:210:01:24

How's it going on The Danny Hayworth Show?

0:01:240:01:28

Giving up fags has done nothing for my performance on the mic.

0:01:280:01:32

-Or my waistline either.

-I'm pleased you took my advice.

0:01:320:01:35

-Did you call Craig?

-No, not yet. I will.

0:01:350:01:39

When?

0:01:390:01:40

-What's with the inquisition?

-What's with the procrastination?

0:01:400:01:43

-The last time I saw him he was smashing our wedding china up the kitchen wall.

-Just give him a ring.

0:01:430:01:49

-What you got to lose?

-All right. I'll call.

0:01:490:01:52

OK, so whose round is it then?

0:01:520:01:54

Well, the wife says if I have another drink, she's gonna kill me.

0:01:540:01:59

Large gin and tonic it is then.

0:01:590:02:01

-You fancy a quick drink?

-Yeah, all right, but only a quick one because I'm meeting a mate later.

-Nice.

0:02:030:02:10

-Are you keeping on top of all those files, Jason?

-Yip.

-Good.

0:02:100:02:14

-Don't fall behind.

-Night.

0:02:140:02:16

Doesn't look like you're going to get out of here any time soon. Do you want a hand with those?

0:02:160:02:21

Yeah. Thanks.

0:02:210:02:23

See you tomorrow.

0:02:270:02:29

PHONE RINGS

0:02:320:02:34

Missing Persons Unit. Jason Doyle.

0:02:350:02:37

Can't it wait? I've got a ton of files.

0:02:380:02:41

OK. Give me the address.

0:02:430:02:45

Mm-hm.

0:02:470:02:49

She's gone. She didn't come home. I don't understand it.

0:02:580:03:02

All right. Are you OK to answer some questions?

0:03:030:03:06

How can she just disappear like that? It doesn't make sense.

0:03:060:03:10

-When did you last see your wife? It's Irene, isn't it?

-This morning.

0:03:100:03:13

Earlier. What took you so long to get here? Doesn't anyone care?

0:03:130:03:17

We do care, sir, I just need to ask some basic questions.

0:03:170:03:21

I don't know. I woke up this morning as usual. Had a shower. She...

0:03:210:03:25

-I went to the office, she stayed at home to work, and, um...

-When was that?

0:03:250:03:30

-I can't remember.

-Roughly what time?

0:03:300:03:32

-Please. I don't see how this is helping.

-It's just procedure.

0:03:320:03:35

Just procedure? My wife is missing.

0:03:350:03:38

-I'd like a bit more than procedure.

-There are questions I need to ask and it will help.

0:03:380:03:43

You need to get out there and start searching for my wife.

0:03:430:03:45

-Which we will.

-When?

-Mr Laird, please.

0:03:450:03:49

All right, can we continue?

0:03:500:03:52

You're just wasting time.

0:03:520:03:55

My wife's missing and all you're doing is just wasting time.

0:03:550:03:58

-Do you know if she might be with anyone? Friends...

-I would've checked.

0:03:580:04:02

What's that?

0:04:030:04:06

Have you had an accident?

0:04:070:04:09

I cut my hand.

0:04:090:04:11

There. See.

0:04:110:04:14

-Have you been drinking?

-What if I have?

-Do you mind stepping back?

0:04:140:04:17

-Would you mind helping me find my wife?

-I suggest you just calm down!

-I am calm!

-Right.

0:04:170:04:23

I am arresting you for the assault of a police officer.

0:04:230:04:27

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

0:04:270:04:30

if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

0:04:300:04:34

-Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

-Ah!

0:04:340:04:37

'This is Craig. Please leave a message after the tone.'

0:04:420:04:45

BEEP!

0:04:450:04:46

Craig,

0:04:460:04:48

it's MJ.

0:04:480:04:49

Long time.

0:04:490:04:51

Um...

0:04:510:04:53

I'm still looking for Ellen and I need to talk to you.

0:04:530:04:57

Could you give me a call when you get this, please?

0:04:570:05:01

Thanks.

0:05:010:05:02

Done. Happy?

0:05:020:05:04

You do wanna find her, don't you?

0:05:050:05:08

It's not that straightforward.

0:05:080:05:10

I haven't seen him since we split up. Talking to Craig's just going to drag it all up. Everything.

0:05:100:05:16

It's never as bad as you think.

0:05:160:05:19

Oh!

0:05:200:05:22

You fancy a full English?

0:05:220:05:24

Swapping one addiction for another wasn't the plan.

0:05:240:05:27

You worried you're going to sound fat on the radio?

0:05:270:05:30

You should hear me in horizontal stripes!

0:05:300:05:33

< SIREN BLARES

0:05:370:05:39

Hey, Jason, have you read this Cadzo file?

0:05:390:05:41

No, I thought you were dealing with it.

0:05:410:05:44

That's disgusting.

0:05:450:05:47

I missed breakfast. It was a long night.

0:05:470:05:50

You know it's an interesting case.

0:05:500:05:52

Martin Cadzo testified against his father in a fraud investigation.

0:05:520:05:55

His father got three years and Martin went missing.

0:05:550:05:58

-He testified against his own father?!

-And his family cut him off,

0:05:580:06:02

-except now his aunt's looking for him.

-What does the aunt want?

0:06:020:06:05

Her husband died last month and left Martin a load of money.

0:06:050:06:07

So his aunt's got all this money and she wants us to find him.

0:06:070:06:10

Jason, he made a stand. He helped the police prosecute his own dad!

0:06:100:06:14

Put an ad in the paper. Martin Cadzo, your uncle's left you a ton of money. He'll be there like a shot. Right...

0:06:140:06:19

I have to fill in this report after making my arrest last night.

0:06:190:06:23

So, DC Doyle, a man calls in to MPU to report his wife missing and he ends up in a police cell.

0:06:230:06:30

-How does that happen?

-He assaulted me.

0:06:300:06:33

Any injuries?

0:06:330:06:34

He pushed me onto the sofa.

0:06:340:06:36

-Did you provoke him in any way?

-He was drunk.

0:06:370:06:41

-There was blood on the carpet.

-He went out, had a few beers, came back and his wife was missing.

0:06:410:06:46

-He was frantic.

-OK, well, maybe I over-reacted.

0:06:460:06:50

Right, I'll go and let Tom Laird out of his cell, shall I?

0:06:500:06:53

DC Doyle won't be pressing charges.

0:06:560:06:58

HE SIGHS RELIEF

0:06:580:07:01

Thank you.

0:07:010:07:02

It was the drink.

0:07:030:07:05

The worry.

0:07:050:07:07

The thought of Irene hurt or...

0:07:070:07:11

Do you have any idea where Irene might go?

0:07:130:07:16

I spoke to her friends. No-one's heard from her.

0:07:160:07:20

What about family?

0:07:200:07:22

There's no-one. Her parents are gone and there's no brothers or sisters.

0:07:220:07:26

I hope you don't mind me asking you this, but...

0:07:260:07:28

..did Irene suffer from depression or mood swings?

0:07:310:07:35

No.

0:07:350:07:36

Never.

0:07:360:07:38

She's always so...

0:07:390:07:41

I'm sorry.

0:07:420:07:44

-It's all right.

-I'm so worried about her.

0:07:450:07:47

We do everything together.

0:07:490:07:51

Even the business.

0:07:510:07:53

And what about outside work?

0:07:530:07:55

Did you notice a change in her behaviour or routine for the past week or so?

0:07:550:08:01

On Mondays, there's a book group.

0:08:010:08:04

The next night we went out to the cinema.

0:08:050:08:07

Then Wednesday, she started work on the garden. She's landscaping it.

0:08:070:08:11

She took a half day, and then we met up and went out for a meal.

0:08:110:08:16

Apart from yesterday. I went out for a drink with some colleagues, went back home.

0:08:160:08:23

That's when I realised. The car was missing from the drive.

0:08:240:08:28

And all the photos of Irene.

0:08:280:08:31

They're gone.

0:08:320:08:33

There were none left behind?

0:08:330:08:36

There's one in my wallet at home.

0:08:380:08:40

Would it be possible to have it?

0:08:400:08:43

-And her bank account details. We may be able to trace her that way.

-You will find her, won't you?

0:08:450:08:50

We'll do our best.

0:08:500:08:51

It was definitely Africa?

0:08:510:08:54

Thanks. You've been a great help.

0:08:540:08:56

University counsellor said Cadzo was a brilliant student.

0:08:580:09:01

On course for a double first.

0:09:010:09:03

I don't think I'm going to like this guy.

0:09:030:09:05

-After the trial, he applied for a sabbatical, which they OKed.

-Where did he go?

-Africa. Volunteer work.

0:09:050:09:11

He phoned the college to confirm his place was open, but he didn't show up when term started.

0:09:110:09:15

-You could check passports and visas, see whether he returned to the UK.

-Good idea.

0:09:150:09:21

-He's cute, isn't he?

-He's not my type.

0:09:210:09:25

If you could get the account details and the photo.

0:09:330:09:37

DCI Ford.

0:09:400:09:42

Thanks for your department's lead.

0:09:420:09:44

-DC Doyle tipped us off about the restraining order.

-What?

0:09:440:09:48

12 years ago Laird's ex had a restraining order placed on him.

0:09:480:09:51

DC Doyle didn't mention it.

0:09:510:09:53

I was speaking with the neighbours. They heard rowing the night before she disappeared. Did he say anything?

0:09:530:09:59

-No, he... We are still looking for a missing person.

-Of course. I just want to ask Mr Laird a few questions.

0:09:590:10:06

I'm not shutting your MPU out of the investigation.

0:10:060:10:09

Let's keep this open, work together.

0:10:090:10:12

Of course, ma'am.

0:10:120:10:13

Don't worry, I'll keep you in the loop.

0:10:130:10:16

Ah, Mr Laird, DCI Ford, I'd like to ask you some questions.

0:10:170:10:21

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

0:10:210:10:23

What?

0:10:230:10:24

It's standard procedure.

0:10:240:10:27

-She's just doing her job.

-And whose job is it to find Irene?

0:10:270:10:30

Mine.

0:10:300:10:31

DCI Ford mentioned a row...

0:10:320:10:35

-the night before.

-That was nothing.

0:10:350:10:39

I'd just had a bad day at work, that's all.

0:10:390:10:41

-What can we do now?

-How about contacting local radio,

0:10:410:10:45

how do you feel about doing a live appeal?

0:10:450:10:47

I'll do anything, if it helps find Irene.

0:10:470:10:49

Mr Laird, can we go in?

0:10:490:10:52

Why didn't you tell me you'd taken the case to CID?

0:11:100:11:13

I didn't.

0:11:130:11:14

Information about some restraining order came out

0:11:140:11:17

-when I had Laird in custody. A DS was down there and we got chatting about the case.

-And you didn't think

0:11:170:11:22

it would lead to anything?

0:11:220:11:24

-Laird is now being investigated as a possible murder suspect.

-What?

0:11:240:11:29

-Sarge, I didn't...

-OK. Now, HE's under suspicion,

0:11:300:11:33

but WE are still investigating a missing person.

0:11:330:11:37

Is that clear?

0:11:370:11:38

Sarge.

0:11:380:11:39

I've checked the hospital's psych wards and morgues,

0:11:410:11:44

-there was nothing. Traffic don't have any RTCs, they're giving me regular updates.

-Ditto in PRS

0:11:440:11:49

-and PNC.

-OK. See if there's any activity on her account.

0:11:490:11:53

Amy, get this enlarged and get it circulated, OK?

0:11:530:11:57

-What about the missing photos?

-Well, there's no break-ins, so either Tom or Irene took them.

0:11:570:12:01

She's difficult to ID without a photo. Maybe she took it,

0:12:010:12:05

-doesn't wanna be found.

-Or maybe it was him, he couldn't bear

0:12:050:12:08

-looking at the woman he killed.

-Why keep the one in the wallet?

0:12:080:12:11

-PHONE RINGS

-I'm gonna see Danny,

0:12:110:12:12

-see if we can get Tom on his show tonight.

-'I'll let her know.'

0:12:120:12:15

That was DCI Ford. She wants to see you in her office.

0:12:150:12:18

-Tell her I'll call in later.

-I got the impression she meant right now.

0:12:180:12:21

-How can I help?

-You don't think you're wasting resources on this one?

-Ma'am?

0:12:270:12:31

Did something come up when you interviewed him?

0:12:310:12:34

Not him, no. We've spoken to the ex-girlfriend about the restraining order.

0:12:340:12:38

-That was 12 years ago.

-She said he had mood swings,

0:12:380:12:42

-a bit of a temper, as I'm sure DC Doyle would agree.

-He'd just discovered his wife was missing.

0:12:420:12:46

His ex said he found it difficult to accept that their relationship had ended. Started drinking,

0:12:460:12:51

turning up at the flat. She said it frightened her to see him like that.

0:12:510:12:56

-Anything from your end?

-I'm thinking of getting Tom to do a radio appeal.

-Good idea. Is it sorted?

0:12:560:13:02

-I was just about to when you called.

-What time would I need to be there?

0:13:020:13:05

Well, it's an appeal for Irene. You being there puts unfair pressure on him.

0:13:050:13:09

-That's the point. See how he reacts under pressure.

-He trusts me.

-I'm the senior investigating officer.

0:13:090:13:16

Let me know when it's organised and I'll be there,

0:13:160:13:19

DS Croft.

0:13:190:13:20

I found this from a search on the internet. And passports and visas.

0:13:240:13:27

Cadzo re-entered the UK 13th April...

0:13:270:13:30

2003.

0:13:300:13:31

Hang on... Paul Cadzo died without meeting his first grandchild,

0:13:310:13:36

-his estranged son Martin did not attend the funeral.

-When was that?

0:13:360:13:39

20th January, 2003.

0:13:390:13:42

So Cadzo returns from Africa to find out his father's dead.

0:13:420:13:45

-Came back too late.

-That's gotta be why he didn't go back to uni.

0:13:450:13:49

Guilt. And the money was his uncle's way of acknowledging his sacrifice.

0:13:490:13:54

-That's tough. Choosing between your family and your principles.

-Exactly. And his uncle knew

0:13:540:13:59

-he'd been out in the cold for too long.

-And you get to be the one to welcome him back in.

0:13:590:14:03

DCI Ford'll be here in five minutes.

0:14:050:14:08

I know what this is about.

0:14:090:14:11

She's waiting for me to crack.

0:14:110:14:13

-Confess to killing my wife.

-That's not...

-She was asking me about my ex.

0:14:130:14:17

From 12 years ago. It was all lies.

0:14:170:14:21

Her and her new boyfriend made it all up to get at me.

0:14:210:14:24

I wasn't a threat, not like that.

0:14:240:14:27

I turned up to talk to her and he started on me. It was him.

0:14:270:14:30

Why don't they just come out with it?

0:14:300:14:33

-Ask me what I've done with her body.

-Tom...

0:14:330:14:36

-I need you to focus.

-I can't do this.

0:14:360:14:39

You can't back out now. It'll look like you've buckled under the pressure.

0:14:390:14:44

Forget DC Ford, this appeal is about finding Irene.

0:14:440:14:49

OK?

0:14:490:14:50

Just like any other morning, you got up, you went to work,

0:14:520:14:55

and that was the last time that you saw Irene?

0:14:550:14:58

That's right.

0:15:000:15:01

Can you remember what she was wearing?

0:15:010:15:03

Jeans, I think. Erm...

0:15:030:15:06

And a green V-necked jumper.

0:15:060:15:08

-Does she have any distinguishing features?

-She has a scar,

0:15:080:15:11

just below her ear. Runs down to her neck.

0:15:110:15:15

-And what would you like to say to Irene if she was listening?

-It...

0:15:150:15:19

-It...

-If she was out there.

0:15:190:15:24

Erm...

0:15:270:15:28

Tom's written Irene a message.

0:15:280:15:31

"If you're in trouble, we can work it out, like always.

0:15:310:15:35

"More than anything, I need to know that you are safe and well."

0:15:350:15:39

If you're listening, Irene, or someone knows where Irene is,

0:15:390:15:43

please call 960 953.

0:15:430:15:46

There's some photos of Irene on the website...

0:15:460:15:49

This is the Danny Hayworth Show.

0:15:490:15:52

Is Tom OK?

0:15:590:16:01

It threw him, having CID there.

0:16:010:16:03

She'll be even more suspicious now.

0:16:030:16:06

Craig got in touch.

0:16:090:16:11

He's coming in tomorrow.

0:16:120:16:14

-How do you feel about that?

-Ever since I started looking for Ellen again,

0:16:160:16:21

I've had this terrible feeling of...

0:16:210:16:26

failure.

0:16:260:16:27

Why?

0:16:290:16:30

He blamed me for Ellen leaving.

0:16:320:16:34

Said it was my fault.

0:16:340:16:36

Said I wanted Ellen to leave.

0:16:360:16:38

And did you?

0:16:380:16:39

'Course I didn't.

0:16:390:16:42

Why did Ellen leave, MJ?

0:16:440:16:46

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

0:16:490:16:52

Come on, let's get out of here.

0:16:520:16:54

-Did you get anything from the appeal?

-Nothing new. Still going through 'em.

0:16:590:17:03

-What about you with Cadzo?

-This guy seems to be able to live without legally owning or renting property,

0:17:030:17:09

-without paying taxes, getting sick, or having a bank account.

-Psychiatric clinics?

-Checked.

0:17:090:17:14

-What did he do in Africa?

-He worked with orphaned children.

0:17:140:17:17

Kids, orphans, volunteering. Come on, it's a no-brainer.

0:17:170:17:21

Local charities, of course!

0:17:210:17:23

-I should check with the ones that specialise with children.

-Morning. Any news on Irene Laird?

0:17:230:17:27

Nothing on her personal account, but maybe something on the business side. There was some restructuring

0:17:270:17:32

-just last month.

-Sounds creative.

0:17:320:17:34

Tom is now the sole signatory on all the cheques, and if anything should happen to Irene,

0:17:340:17:39

-he's the sole beneficiary of the business.

-Things are stacking up against him.

0:17:390:17:43

Let's not be too hasty.

0:17:430:17:45

I've got an email here from the radio appeal, from a Sarah Banberry.

0:17:450:17:48

-She claims to be Irene's daughter.

-What?!

0:17:480:17:51

She said Irene went missing 18 years ago.

0:17:510:17:54

-Shall I let DCI Ford know?

-No.

0:17:540:17:56

This is OUR lead. She responded to an appeal from Missing Person,

0:17:560:18:00

I wanna talk to her first.

0:18:000:18:02

This is my mother.

0:18:070:18:09

She was called Helen Banberry then.

0:18:110:18:15

That's all I've had.

0:18:150:18:16

18 years.

0:18:180:18:19

-Did you have any other photos?

-She took them all.

0:18:190:18:22

A week after she disappeared, a box of them was found in the woods, burnt.

0:18:220:18:27

-Was she stressed, for any reason?

-No, she...she'd just started working up at the sailing club,

0:18:290:18:34

so there was a bit more money. Dad said they'd even talked about having more children.

0:18:340:18:39

He died five years ago.

0:18:410:18:44

Right until the end, he never stopped believing that we'd find her.

0:18:450:18:50

We found Cadzo. He volunteers for a local charity, works with disabled children.

0:18:590:19:03

-He lives nearby.

-Get a uniform to ID him.

0:19:030:19:05

-I thought I could go.

-No, you find out when Irene changed her name by deed poll.

0:19:050:19:10

-But they won't give me that information.

-Tell them it's a murder enquiry.

0:19:100:19:13

Irene left Sarah in 1991. She was with Tom eight years, I wanna know where she was for the other ten.

0:19:130:19:19

I thought we agreed to share information.

0:19:260:19:29

I take it you're referring to Sarah Banberry?

0:19:290:19:32

Why didn't you tell me you had a lead?

0:19:320:19:34

She responded to an appeal.

0:19:340:19:36

I thought she had information about Irene.

0:19:360:19:39

Irene's gone missing before.

0:19:390:19:41

She left Sarah and her dad, exactly the same MO,

0:19:410:19:44

-took all the photographs...

-I wonder what Tom would have done if he'd found this out.

0:19:440:19:48

A wife with a secret past. We know he has a temper.

0:19:480:19:50

Oh, come on!

0:19:500:19:51

We've got no scene of crime, no body, no forensics...

0:19:530:19:56

I have Irene Laird's burnt-out car in a field half a mile from the A14.

0:19:560:20:00

My officers are there now, searching the area for evidence.

0:20:000:20:02

So far, we've found the remains of the photos, and a pair of men's gloves covered in paraffin.

0:20:020:20:07

-And you're the one talking about sharing information?

-I called you

0:20:070:20:11

in here to share this latest development with you.

0:20:110:20:13

And as your senior officer, I'm reminding you that I asked you for regular updates.

0:20:130:20:17

Any developments come straight to me.

0:20:170:20:19

I take it that works both ways?

0:20:190:20:21

Until I say otherwise.

0:20:210:20:24

-Would you like a drink - tea, coffee?

-No, I'm good.

0:20:290:20:32

Will she be long?

0:20:320:20:34

No, she's just in a meeting. I'm sure she'll...

0:20:340:20:36

I'm sorry I'm late, I...

0:20:450:20:48

got caught up in a meeting.

0:20:480:20:49

You've got some news...about Ellen?

0:20:490:20:52

-We traced some money wires.

-Well, I sent her money.

0:20:520:20:58

-How often?

-She'd call a couple of times one week

0:20:580:21:01

then I wouldn't hear anything for six months.

0:21:010:21:04

Over what period of time?

0:21:040:21:06

I'm... I don't exactly... Six years.

0:21:060:21:09

-On and off.

-Why didn't you tell me?

0:21:090:21:12

-We weren't in contact, remember?

-She's my sister, Craig. I have a right to know.

0:21:120:21:17

What do you want me to say? I'm not a mind reader.

0:21:170:21:19

You could have contacted me.

0:21:190:21:21

SIRENS WAIL

0:21:230:21:24

What was the money for?

0:21:270:21:28

It was always drugs-related -

0:21:280:21:31

getting away from people who gave her drugs,

0:21:310:21:33

a deposit for a flat to get her off the street,

0:21:330:21:36

-a fine for possession...

-Why didn't she come to me?

0:21:360:21:39

Well, look at it from her point of view.

0:21:390:21:41

God, you always took her side.

0:21:420:21:44

-You're still doing it now.

-I'm not. MJ, I'm not.

0:21:440:21:47

I had to be a sister, a parent, keep my career on track,

0:21:470:21:51

hold our marriage together, which wasn't easy when Ellen wanted my attention

0:21:510:21:55

-every second of every day.

-You were jealous of Ellen?

0:21:550:21:58

Why did you stop sending her the money?

0:22:000:22:02

I suspected she was using it for drugs.

0:22:020:22:04

-Did you tell her?

-I said I'd send her food and clothes, but no cash.

0:22:040:22:08

She gave me the address of a halfway house in London.

0:22:080:22:10

London?

0:22:100:22:12

Yes.

0:22:120:22:14

She's in England.

0:22:140:22:16

I don't believe this!

0:22:160:22:18

I was helping someone I cared about.

0:22:180:22:20

-Give me a break, MJ.

-Have you got an address?

-I called the number she gave me.

0:22:200:22:24

It was a telephone box in Waterloo station.

0:22:240:22:26

-She screwed me.

-Mm...

0:22:270:22:30

Interesting choice of word.

0:22:300:22:32

I came here to help, not to rake up all this crap again.

0:22:340:22:38

Craig... Craig!

0:22:380:22:41

Craig!

0:22:420:22:43

Listen to me.

0:22:430:22:45

-Craig, I was out of order.

-Is this how little you trusted me?

0:22:470:22:50

-It's just...

-I helped Ellen out cos someone had to and you weren't.

0:22:500:22:54

If things were that desperate, why didn't you come to me?

0:22:540:22:57

She begged me not to. She hadn't forgiven you.

0:22:570:23:00

15 years later

0:23:000:23:02

and you're still going over the same bloody ground.

0:23:020:23:05

Move on, MJ. Move on.

0:23:050:23:08

-Craig...

-MJ?

0:23:080:23:10

-Not now, Amy.

-It's really urgent.

0:23:100:23:13

-Are you OK?

-Yeah, fine.

0:23:230:23:26

-Who's that?

-It's George Partis.

0:23:260:23:29

I did the checks you asked for and it turns out that Irene, Helen Banberry at the time,

0:23:290:23:33

changed her name to Annette Allan via deed poll in 1991.

0:23:330:23:37

-I take it that was when this George became her boyfriend?

-I tracked Annette Allan

0:23:370:23:41

and found that she hooked up with George Partis here. I managed to contact him.

0:23:410:23:45

They used to travel a lot - keen sailors. Then he wanted to settle down

0:23:450:23:49

and she gets a job running start-up courses for up-and-coming businesses.

0:23:490:23:53

A year later, she's off - takes nothing with her.

0:23:530:23:56

-Apart from, let me guess, all the photos?

-You've got it. Exactly the same MO.

0:23:560:24:00

We're dealing with a serial missing person. There's a definite pattern.

0:24:000:24:04

Sarah Banberry said that her mum got a job in the sailing club.

0:24:040:24:08

A couple of months later, she's off on the high seas with George Partis.

0:24:080:24:12

While she's with him, she starts running these business courses and meets Tom.

0:24:120:24:16

-And bye-bye George.

-I want you to check out Irene's book club.

0:24:160:24:19

-According to him, it was the only time they were apart.

-Are you gonna update the DCI?

0:24:190:24:23

-I'll let Jason do the honours.

-My pleasure.

0:24:230:24:27

I need to speak to Tom.

0:24:280:24:30

There might be something he thinks of once I tell him about Irene's past.

0:24:300:24:34

Oh, um... MJ, patrol never made it down to see Cadzo today,

0:24:340:24:38

so I thought I might follow it up.

0:24:380:24:40

I think I can accept an ID off a non-uniform.

0:24:400:24:42

Good job, by the way.

0:24:440:24:46

Did I say that already?

0:24:460:24:48

I don't understand.

0:24:520:24:54

Earlier on...

0:24:580:24:59

the detective was asking me about Irene's car. They thought I'd burnt it.

0:24:590:25:03

I'm hoping that what we've found out about Irene

0:25:030:25:06

will prove that you had nothing to do with her disappearance.

0:25:060:25:09

I didn't. You do believe me, don't you?

0:25:090:25:12

Tom, I need you to try and think.

0:25:120:25:15

Is there anything you can tell me that will help me find out who Irene may have...

0:25:150:25:20

been with?

0:25:200:25:23

There's something I didn't tell you.

0:25:270:25:29

What you said about Irene having affairs...

0:25:590:26:03

I started to get suspicious a few weeks back.

0:26:040:26:07

Why?

0:26:070:26:08

There was a parking fine - it came in the post.

0:26:080:26:12

She never mentioned it, which was odd.

0:26:120:26:15

So I started looking through her things.

0:26:150:26:18

I found a...dress.

0:26:180:26:20

It wasn't the sort she'd wear.

0:26:200:26:23

Can you describe it?

0:26:230:26:25

It was black and low-cut...

0:26:250:26:28

flimsy.

0:26:280:26:30

Is that what you and Irene were rowing about?

0:26:300:26:32

No, I never mentioned that I'd found it, or the parking fine,

0:26:330:26:37

just that...

0:26:370:26:39

I felt like she was losing interest in me and...

0:26:390:26:42

when she denied it, I got angry.

0:26:420:26:45

I did something stupid.

0:26:450:26:47

What did you do, Tom?

0:26:470:26:50

I burned the dress and the letter at the bottom of the garden.

0:26:500:26:53

I don't believe this.

0:26:540:26:56

What else aren't you telling me?

0:26:560:26:58

-Well, nothing.

-You do know how this is going to look?

0:26:580:27:02

-I thought you believed me.

-You withheld information.

0:27:020:27:05

I'm trying to help you and you kept it from me.

0:27:050:27:07

-Please, I-I-I...

-I've got no choice, Tom.

0:27:070:27:11

I'm gonna have to call DCI Ford.

0:27:110:27:13

Hello?

0:27:160:27:18

Martin Cadzo?

0:27:200:27:22

Who are you?

0:27:270:27:29

Oh... Amy Garnett.

0:27:290:27:32

-Missing Persons.

-Who's missing?

0:27:320:27:34

You.

0:27:340:27:36

HE SCOFFS

0:27:370:27:39

Is that me?

0:27:390:27:42

-I look pretty good.

-Well, I have some news

0:27:420:27:45

from your family. It's about your uncle, Steven Cadzo,

0:27:450:27:48

-and I'm afraid it's not good news.

-Is he dead?

0:27:480:27:51

Yes.

0:27:510:27:52

He died on the 12th February.

0:27:530:27:55

He left you a considerable sum of money in his will and your aunt's been trying to find you.

0:27:550:28:00

Mr Cadzo, what do I tell your aunt?

0:28:000:28:03

Do you want me to give her your details?

0:28:030:28:06

Yes, they're here. I'll do it now.

0:28:170:28:20

Please.. You know I didn't kill her.

0:28:220:28:26

Thomas Laird, I am arresting you on suspicion of the murder

0:28:260:28:29

of Irene Laird. You do not have to say anything

0:28:290:28:32

but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned

0:28:320:28:36

something which you later rely on in court.

0:28:360:28:38

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

0:28:380:28:41

Listen, you've got to find Irene. P-P-Please...

0:28:420:28:46

you've got to help me!

0:28:460:28:48

-I appreciate it must have been difficult, arresting Laird.

-What's going to happen now?

0:28:580:29:03

We'll be presenting the case to the CPS in a couple of hours, then it's over to them.

0:29:030:29:08

But there's a strong possibility that he'll be looking at a murder charge.

0:29:080:29:11

Thank you for all your work.

0:29:110:29:14

-KNOCKING

-Come in.

0:29:200:29:24

Sorry, Sarge.

0:29:240:29:26

It's fine.

0:29:260:29:28

-The CPS are looking at the evidence right now.

-How long have we got?

0:29:290:29:32

-For what?

-I think you might be right -

0:29:320:29:36

you find out about the affair, you find Irene.

0:29:360:29:38

You confirm a motive, you mean?

0:29:380:29:40

I still reckon it's worth searching for her.

0:29:400:29:42

I just heard back from the book group. She didn't turn up to the last three meetings.

0:29:420:29:46

Let me ring the DVLA, check out her parking fine.

0:29:460:29:49

I bet it was one of the nights she was supposed to be with her Jane Austen mates.

0:29:490:29:52

OK, but we've got to act fast. We've only got a couple of hours

0:29:520:29:56

before the CPS get back to Ford with their decision.

0:29:560:29:58

-I thought we'd have been able to make a fresh start.

-I'd like that.

0:30:170:30:21

I'm sorry about before. You did the right thing, looking out for Ellen.

0:30:230:30:28

-I do appreciate it.

-There's something else.

0:30:280:30:31

It might be useful. I remembered the last time she called.

0:30:310:30:34

-For drugs?

-Well, she said it was for a counselling course.

0:30:340:30:37

She mentioned a college - Winbeck College.

0:30:370:30:41

-In London?

-I don't know. To be honest, I'd lost it with her by then.

0:30:410:30:44

-Thanks. You've been a great help.

-Take care, OK?

0:30:440:30:47

I-I-If you find her, will you let me know?

0:30:470:30:50

Of course.

0:30:500:30:52

Someone looks pretty pleased with himself.

0:31:000:31:02

The DVLA... Irene Laird's parking fine from two Mondays ago.

0:31:020:31:06

But that's the night of her book group.

0:31:060:31:08

-It must have been a page-turner for her to forget about the car.

-She hasn't been going. I knew it!

0:31:080:31:13

-# I knew it, I knew it... #

-I'm assuming that's because you've got a result?

0:31:130:31:18

The parking fine -

0:31:180:31:19

Ripley high street, 2046.

0:31:190:31:23

-The car parked at 1830.

-1830 to 2046 -

0:31:230:31:27

-dinnertime!

-Do you want us to get down there and circulate her image,

0:31:270:31:31

-see if anyone remembers her?

-Yeah. That's what I was gonna suggest.

0:31:310:31:35

Great minds. Start with the posh restaurants. She was wearing the black dress, going upmarket.

0:31:350:31:40

And we know Irene likes a man who can provide a certain lifestyle.

0:31:400:31:44

-Nothing, you?

-Yeah, she came here on Monday night with a man.

0:31:570:32:01

-Do they have the man's name?

-Paul Fallon. I got his landline number,

0:32:010:32:05

so should be able to get the address from the phone company.

0:32:050:32:08

Must have been a special occasion. Maison du Pays, little black dress?

0:32:080:32:10

She left Tom a week later, so Paul must have played his cards right.

0:32:100:32:14

-What was the menu like?

-Pig's trotter and truffle. Not my cup of tea.

0:32:140:32:19

I'm a meat and two veg type of man.

0:32:190:32:21

Want some?

0:32:240:32:27

-How was Craig?

-He was OK.

0:32:280:32:31

Anything on her?

0:32:320:32:34

She was back in the country. She applied for a college course in Guildford.

0:32:340:32:39

They faxed me her application. Her contact details were a drug clinic.

0:32:390:32:44

Got Amy looking into it.

0:32:440:32:47

-What did the college say?

-She seemed nervous, jittery.

0:32:470:32:52

Bit fragile.

0:32:520:32:54

-But extremely bright.

-Sounds like she was trying to get her life back on track.

0:32:540:32:59

She couldn't afford the fees.

0:33:030:33:05

Wish I'd known.

0:33:050:33:08

How did you leave things with Craig?

0:33:090:33:12

Got a lot to be angry about, but we cleared the air.

0:33:120:33:16

Thing is, Danny, I, er...

0:33:170:33:20

I accused Ellen of sleeping with Craig before she ran away.

0:33:200:33:25

-Was it true?

-No.

0:33:270:33:29

No, she didn't. They didn't...

0:33:290:33:32

It was just me, and my paranoia, and my insecurity.

0:33:320:33:36

Was that why you split up?

0:33:380:33:40

Sounds like we've all moved on since then.

0:33:430:33:46

I'm trying to.

0:33:470:33:49

Oh, go on, let me have one! Please. Please...!

0:33:500:33:54

No, look, have that. Go on.

0:33:550:33:57

Got it. The phone number was registered to Paul Fallon, Ripley Hill.

0:34:030:34:07

Got another one here.

0:34:070:34:09

Paul Fallon. Landscape gardening.

0:34:090:34:13

Irene must have met him when he was doing work on her garden.

0:34:130:34:15

Hey, we've got a phone number and address for Irene's new man.

0:34:170:34:20

Good work. Get over there as soon as possible.

0:34:200:34:23

DS Croft. Missing Persons Unit.

0:34:340:34:37

You've been reported missing.

0:34:370:34:40

-I haven't done anything illegal.

-The problem is, Irene,

0:34:420:34:45

I have to officially identify you.

0:34:450:34:47

-You are still calling yourself Irene?

-I am Irene Laird.

0:34:470:34:52

Jason, call DCI Ford and tell her we've found Irene Laird.

0:34:520:34:58

Your husband's being held on suspicion of your murder.

0:35:020:35:06

But...Tom wouldn't hurt a fly.

0:35:060:35:08

I guess him being soft made him easier to manipulate.

0:35:080:35:12

I'd like you to leave now.

0:35:120:35:13

-So what do I tell your daughter Sarah?

-I gave more than I took.

0:35:200:35:25

George was rich, but lazy!

0:35:250:35:28

He travelled the world with me. Tom was terrified to take risks.

0:35:280:35:32

Today he owns a business that employs 87 people.

0:35:320:35:36

And that makes it all right to abandon him and ruin his reputation?

0:35:360:35:39

Must have been hard remembering all those lies.

0:35:400:35:43

-What about Sarah?

-When I was young, my parents moved around a lot...

0:35:450:35:49

-Hardly the same!

-It gives me a certain perspective!

-You told Paul Farron about your "perspective"?

0:35:490:35:54

He doesn't need to know.

0:35:540:35:56

I haven't broken any law. I have the right not to be contacted.

0:35:570:36:01

Don't you think about the people you left behind? A daughter -

0:36:010:36:04

she spent years wondering what happened to you. And Tom. He loves you. Don't you think you owe him...

0:36:040:36:12

-some sort of explanation?

-What do you expect me to say

0:36:120:36:15

that wasn't made clear the moment I walked out of their lives?

0:36:150:36:18

"I'm sorry"? No.

0:36:180:36:22

Certainly made it easier.

0:36:220:36:24

Maybe.

0:36:260:36:28

You've found me. You've done your jobs. I think it's time for you to leave.

0:36:280:36:33

-Congratulations.

-Ma'am?

-It's been a difficult couple of days.

0:36:440:36:48

-For Tom Laird, you mean.

-Yes.

0:36:480:36:51

-Thank you...and your team. Real dedication.

-Or a real pain in the neck.

0:36:510:36:56

You got the result, DS Croft.

0:36:560:37:00

We found Irene. I don't think Tom will see it as a result.

0:37:010:37:05

-She didn't want to know?

-No.

0:37:050:37:08

It's not your responsibility.

0:37:080:37:11

-Doesn't make it any easier, though.

-I guess not.

0:37:110:37:14

-Has Tom been released?

-Of course.

0:37:140:37:18

You were never a pain.

0:37:180:37:20

A bit of a challenge... But you were right to pursue it.

0:37:200:37:25

Look, I'm not gonna keep coming round.

0:37:370:37:40

Just let me do my job and I can let you get on with your life.

0:37:400:37:44

Your aunt's details.

0:37:460:37:48

I...

0:37:500:37:53

I can't imagine what it's like sacrificing everything for your principles. I think it was brave.

0:37:530:37:59

You stood up for what you believed in.

0:37:590:38:02

Your aunt and uncle knew it was wrong for your family to cut you off,

0:38:020:38:05

and I know it's late. But this is their way of apologising.

0:38:050:38:10

He controlled everyone by money.

0:38:100:38:13

Me... Mum...

0:38:130:38:15

Threatened to cut us off if we crossed him. Just got sick of it.

0:38:150:38:21

So I decided to play him at his own game. I threatened to call the police - he just laughed in my face.

0:38:220:38:30

Thought I wouldn't give up the easy life.

0:38:300:38:33

It wasn't about right or wrong principles. I did it out of spite.

0:38:330:38:39

-Do you still wanna save me?

-Well, I think you should stop hiding.

0:38:410:38:45

You could do a lot with that money.

0:38:450:38:47

Change lives.

0:38:470:38:50

I'm really sorry, Sarah.

0:38:570:39:00

I couldn't convince your mother to contact you.

0:39:000:39:03

-But you know where she is.

-I can't give you her address. Not unless she tells me to.

0:39:030:39:08

-She doesn't have anything to say to me?

-I'm sorry.

0:39:080:39:11

When I saw the picture on the poster and I knew it was here, it was an amazing feeling -

0:39:130:39:19

all those years of hoping hadn't been for nothing. She was alive!

0:39:190:39:23

But she doesn't want to talk to me.

0:39:250:39:28

Why would I want to hear what she's got to say anyway? What would be the point?

0:39:280:39:33

Just to have her say she doesn't care, she never did!

0:39:330:39:38

-Sorry, I'm keeping you.

-No.

0:39:390:39:42

Well, at least I know.

0:39:420:39:45

Thanks.

0:39:470:39:49

-There you go...

-Thanks.

0:39:570:39:59

Brought you some sugar.

0:40:000:40:03

I'm all right.

0:40:030:40:05

I'm sorry about what happened... the other night...

0:40:130:40:16

No, I was, er, upset.

0:40:160:40:19

DOOR OPENS

0:40:200:40:23

-How you doing, Tom?

-Bit tired.

0:40:230:40:25

-Did you sleep?

-At least it wasn't in a cell.

0:40:270:40:31

Look on the bright side.

0:40:310:40:34

I just lay awake all night.

0:40:340:40:37

Totally still.

0:40:370:40:39

And then it was light again.

0:40:390:40:41

Nothing had changed.

0:40:420:40:46

I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling right now.

0:40:470:40:52

What do I do?

0:40:520:40:54

You need to take things slowly.

0:40:540:40:56

What... What do people think of me?

0:40:590:41:01

-The neighbours, they... think I'm actually capable...

-You've done nothing wrong.

0:41:010:41:05

Then why did she leave me?

0:41:070:41:10

Doesn't even want to see me.

0:41:130:41:15

You mustn't blame yourself.

0:41:150:41:17

I just wish things could go back to the way they were.

0:41:170:41:21

When someone goes missing, the effects on the loved ones left behind can be devastating.

0:41:260:41:32

It can leave people feeling depressed and angry,

0:41:320:41:35

and grief-stricken at the loss of their loved ones.

0:41:350:41:38

But imagine if you're accused of murdering that missing person.

0:41:380:41:42

Dealing with your own feelings and the suspicion of your neighbours.

0:41:420:41:47

My question is - should the people who go missing be held accountable,

0:41:470:41:52

or is it everyone's right to live their lives as they wish?

0:41:520:41:57

My name is Danny Hayworth, and the lines are open.

0:41:570:42:03

KNOCK

0:42:030:42:05

-I'm looking for Amy Garnett.

-Oh, hi.

0:42:060:42:09

Look, I'm no good at speeches, I just wanted to say...

0:42:090:42:14

Thank you.

0:42:140:42:16

And I'd like to donate some money to the MPU. You do good work here.

0:42:160:42:21

My solicitors' details. Just let them know who to make the cheque payable to.

0:42:250:42:30

Oh, um...

0:42:300:42:33

Here's my...card. Just in case.

0:42:330:42:36

I'll keep it with the other one.

0:42:360:42:38

Good luck.

0:42:400:42:42

Thanks.

0:42:420:42:43

-Goodlooking bloke!

-He's not my type.

0:42:460:42:50

-What is your type?

-I like a meat and two veg kind of guy.

0:42:500:42:55
