0:00:03 > 0:00:05# Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey

0:00:05 > 0:00:08# It's all right I say it's OK

0:00:08 > 0:00:10# Listen to what I say

0:00:10 > 0:00:13# It's all right, doing fine

0:00:13 > 0:00:16# Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine

0:00:16 > 0:00:19# It's all right I say it's OK

0:00:19 > 0:00:21# We're gettin' to the end of the day. #

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Morning, sleepyhead.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Rise and shine.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Nancy?!

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Excuse me.- Yes, love.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38I'd like to report a murder.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42So some old dear walks into a police station and reports a murder.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44It's just an average Monday morning.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Sorry I'm late, everybody.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- It turned into a bit of a session last night.- Ho-ho!

0:01:49 > 0:01:50So, what have we got?

0:01:50 > 0:01:52A demented geriatric, by all accounts.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53No need to be personal.

0:01:53 > 0:01:55Nancy Hargreaves.

0:01:55 > 0:01:5879 years old. Took a bus halfway across London to report a murder.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01We have since learned that Nancy has dementia.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, did she offer up any more information?

0:02:03 > 0:02:07She mentioned her husband and that's where it starts to get interesting.

0:02:07 > 0:02:08How do you mean?

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Jimmy Hargreaves.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12An old-time bobby!

0:02:12 > 0:02:17Disappeared in mysterious circumstances on 12th November 1956.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Last seen leaving the Coach and Horses pub in Blackfriars

0:02:19 > 0:02:22before taking his usual route home along the river.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Took a bit of a tumble, they reckon?

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Several eyewitnesses saw him leaving the pub just after ten.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29It is believed that he lost his footing,

0:02:29 > 0:02:31probably after a few too many pints of wallop.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Easily done.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33No sign of a body?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37No. The river was dragged, but no body was ever recovered.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38So you think this old bird did him in?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Either that or she knows who did.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Danny. Dig out the original file.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45Steve, come with me, we'll speak to Nancy, see if we can get anything out of her.

0:02:45 > 0:02:50- I'll give Danny a hand. - No, you don't. I need someone to come with me to Nancy's care home,

0:02:50 > 0:02:53speak to the residents, see if she confided in any of them.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56No, no, no. I'm no good with old people.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Can't you take laughing boy?

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Come to think of it,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02I have just been e-mailed a list of training courses, Gerry.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03What do you reckon, Steve?

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Equality and diversity. Right up Gerry's street.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Your car or mine?

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Does she have any recollection of a visit to a police station?

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Her short-term memory isn't what it was.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Do you think she's up to talking to us?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Don't think for one minute that she isn't capable.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24She just gets a bit muddled sometimes, that's all.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Can I help you?

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I'm DCI Sasha Miller. This is Steve McAndrew.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38We're from the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42- Terry?- It's all right. It's about what happened yesterday, isn't it?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Mum's always going walkabout.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47I really don't see what this has to do with your...

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Your mum went into a police station to report a murder, Mr Hargreaves.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52She did what?

0:03:52 > 0:03:53Two officers had to bring her home.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Mum?

0:03:55 > 0:03:57I don't know what they're talking about.

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Whose murder, exactly?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- That's what we're trying to establish.- Is this true?

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Of course it isn't. They've got me mixed up with someone else.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11I'm just sorry you've had a wasted journey.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16I got a call from Victoria Bus Station once.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19They caught her trying to get on a bus to Shrewsbury

0:04:19 > 0:04:20to see her brother.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22He's been dead for 30 years.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Nancy, is there anything you'd like to tell us

0:04:25 > 0:04:27about the night your husband disappeared?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29Anything you might have neglected to say at the time...

0:04:29 > 0:04:31Look, this is ridiculous.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33You can't just come in here and start haranguing her!

0:04:33 > 0:04:35No-one's haranguing anybody, Mr Hargreaves.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37We're just trying to establish the facts.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39There was a wedding.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Jimmy and some of the boys took the groom down the pub.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45And that was the last you saw of him?

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Look, I really don't see how this is relevant.

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Please, let her answer.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Jimmy drowned on the way home.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56They say he lost his footing.

0:04:56 > 0:05:01The officer who you spoke to said you mentioned Jimmy several times during the interview.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Did I?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Is there anything you want to add about the circumstances surrounding Jimmy's death?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08That's enough. I want you both to leave.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09Please, Mr Hargreaves.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13She's just an old woman who gets a bit confused, that's all.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17The last thing she needs is you lot coming in and raking up the past.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Well, that went well.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Hm.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Excuse me.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I'm ready to go now.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Go where, Nancy?

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Home. Please. I've got to get back.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35I can't stay here.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Nancy, I'm not sure that's possible.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Mum... I turn my back for one minute!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42No, don't worry.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45But you don't understand! He's waiting for me!

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Who's waiting for you, Nancy?

0:05:48 > 0:05:51You must excuse my mother. She's just overtired.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Come on, Nancy. Let's get you back to your room.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07TV PLAYS

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Hello. I'm Gerry. Gerry Standing.

0:06:23 > 0:06:24Shush!

0:06:25 > 0:06:27Oh, sorry.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Is it always this quiet in here?

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Only during Bargain Hunt.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34Peggy.

0:06:34 > 0:06:35Hello, Peggy.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Peggy, I don't suppose you know someone called

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Nancy Hargreaves, do you?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43She's in the room next to mine.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45She's not? How funny!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Does she ever talk about her husband?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Oh, she keeps herself to herself.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Not much of a talker, is Nancy.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Oh. So she's never mentioned his disappearance to you?

0:06:55 > 0:06:59- Not that I recall.- Oh, well.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Are you new here?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Sorry?

0:07:03 > 0:07:07I know it's strange to begin with, but you'll soon get used to it.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09No, no, no. I'm not a resident.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm just waiting for my colleagues to collect me.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15I'm a police officer.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Well, technically I'm not a police officer, but I work for them.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22The Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25I understand.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29No, no, no! I've got a card here, somewhere.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32What have I done with that?

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Must have left it in my other suit.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Gerry...

0:07:35 > 0:07:39Ah, now will you please tell Peggy I'm not a resident?

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Sorry.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44(He's just having a bit of trouble settling in, that's all.)

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Oi, you!

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Thank you.

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Oi!

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Bleedin' cheek! She should get her eyes tested!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56What did you find out about Jimmy?

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Well, according to his service records, he's as clean as a whistle. - Bollocks.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Don't judge everyone by your own standards, Gerry.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Even a member of the police choir. Second tenor.

0:08:05 > 0:08:09This man makes Dixon Of Dock Green look like Tony Soprano.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11What cases was he working on at the time?

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Disorderly behaviour, pilfering, petty theft...

0:08:14 > 0:08:16oh, and a lost dog.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Go through the original investigation.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Chances are they've missed something.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21You think there was a cover-up?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, local bobby dies in suspicious circumstances.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26It's the sort of headline they'd want to avoid.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29One of the eye-witness who saw Jimmy leave the pub that night

0:08:29 > 0:08:31still lives at the same address.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Pay him a visit. Find out what he remembers.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36What he remembers? He's got to be, late '80s, early '90s -

0:08:36 > 0:08:39- I doubt if he remembers what he had for breakfast!- Go on!

0:08:39 > 0:08:40All right.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46What do you reckon?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49A local bobby has one too many, takes a tumble, I mean...

0:08:49 > 0:08:52- And Nancy?- Got a bit overexcited reading her Agatha Christie.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Huh.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Before you go...

0:08:55 > 0:08:56Yeah?

0:08:56 > 0:08:58This is probably silly, but, um...

0:08:58 > 0:08:59No, go on.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's just...well, she cries out at night sometimes.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Cries out?

0:09:04 > 0:09:05It's the same name every time.

0:09:05 > 0:09:10Bertie. Well, at least I think that's what she's saying.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12I told you it was silly.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15No, we'll take anything we can get right now. Thank you for that.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17We've just got to get past her son first.

0:09:17 > 0:09:18Oh, you leave that to me.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Depressing, isn't it? Getting old.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'll take your word for it.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28You're no spring chicken yourself.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I wouldn't write me off just yet.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Ah, but the future's bleak, Danny. The sooner you accept it, the better.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35I do enjoy these little pep talks.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Well, you think about it. I mean, Holly's at uni.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Your wife, well, she's not at home, is she?

0:09:41 > 0:09:44One little trip on the stairs and wallop.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45You're brown bread in the hallway.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48It's just as well I live in a bungalow, then, isn't it?

0:09:48 > 0:09:49Mr Harry Page?

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Who's asking?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Danny Griffin. Unsolved Crime and Open Cases Squad.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55This is Gerry Standing.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58We're looking into the disappearance of PC Jimmy Hargreaves.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Jimmy Hargreaves?! That's a blast from the past.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04I wonder if we could come in for a moment?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06You'll have to excuse the mess.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08I haven't had time for a tidy round.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Blimey!

0:10:19 > 0:10:25Er... Harry, don't you think it's about time you had a spring clean?

0:10:26 > 0:10:30It's taken 40 years to build up this collection.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Collection of what?

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Trinkets. Keepsakes.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Plus I never throw a newspaper away until I've read it cover to cover.

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Where are you up to?

0:10:41 > 0:10:421996.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44I'd stop there if I were you.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46There's no chance of a happy ending.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48So, tell us about Jimmy Hargreaves.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51He used to live around the corner.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Was he a friend of yours?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54I wouldn't say that exactly.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58What, a local bobby? Figurehead of the community,

0:10:58 > 0:11:01always on hand to help little old ladies across the road.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Appearances can be deceptive.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Meaning what, exactly?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Listen. Jimmy was always welcoming,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11unlike some of the people down the street.

0:11:11 > 0:11:12So what happened?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Let's just say he had his demons.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Drink?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Gambling, mainly. Dogs, horses -

0:11:19 > 0:11:21you name it, he liked a flutter.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Did this leave him out of pocket?

0:11:23 > 0:11:27Oh, had a list of IOUs as long as his arm.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Tell us about the night he disappeared.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33I was drinking in the Coach and Horses

0:11:33 > 0:11:36when suddenly Jimmy came staggering in with a few friends.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38What, he'd already had a few, had he?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Stumbling all over the place, he was.

0:11:41 > 0:11:46Ended up joining this darts match. Lost a week's wages.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49Yeah, well, that would have a dampening effect on the evening, wouldn't it?

0:11:49 > 0:11:54He was shouting the odds - reckoned this fella had tried to cheat him.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59There was a scuffle, and Jimmy got very handy with his fists

0:11:59 > 0:12:00so the landlord chucked him out.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02And that's the last time you saw him?

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Yeah. Daft sod went and took a tumble.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08And not for the first time.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Only this time they didn't recover his body?

0:12:10 > 0:12:14You should've seen the state of the river then. Once you're in,

0:12:14 > 0:12:17you never come out again.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Were you friends with Jimmy's wife?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22My wife was. I knew her in passing.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Yeah? What sort of woman was she?

0:12:24 > 0:12:27Salt of the earth, that girl.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29That girl would do anything for anyone.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31What about her relationship with Jimmy?

0:12:31 > 0:12:33I never took much notice.

0:12:33 > 0:12:38So there were never any domestics? Never any spats on the street?

0:12:38 > 0:12:42What goes on between a man and his wife is his business.

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Look, can we get out of here?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Yes, I'll give you a head start. - Yeah.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Well, thank you, Harry. You've been very useful.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Why are you dragging all this up again?

0:12:53 > 0:12:56We're just pursuing a new line of inquiry, that's all.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58And Nancy?

0:13:00 > 0:13:02She's all right, isn't she?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05We'll see ourselves out.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11What a way to go, eh?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Crushed by an avalanche of old Daily Mails.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Jimmy walked along that same stretch of river every single night.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Why did he suddenly lose his footing?

0:13:19 > 0:13:20He'd had a skinful.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24And yet he was playing darts just a few minutes earlier.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27What, are you thinking someone might have given him a little push?

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Either that or he knew exactly what he was doing...

0:13:30 > 0:13:33Up to his eyes in debt, no way out.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36He wouldn't have been the first copper to top himself,

0:13:36 > 0:13:37that's for sure.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41It's amazing to think how much the landscape of this city

0:13:41 > 0:13:43has changed in the last 50 years.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46I mean, back then, everything you needed

0:13:46 > 0:13:48was right here on this street.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yeah, you're not just talking cups of sugar, either.

0:13:51 > 0:13:56Domestics, bed-hopping. Yeah, it all went on behind these net curtains.

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Murder?

0:13:57 > 0:13:59I'd put money on it.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01The night Jimmy disappeared...

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Well, Nancy said they were all out here toasting the bride and groom.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Hm. Such a tight-knit community...

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yeah, they were communities then, weren't they?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14Nowadays, I mean, me for instance, I have no idea who my neighbours are.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18And yet not one of them saw Jimmy after he left the pub that night.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Yeah, I was thinking about that.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Maybe we should check the weather reports.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Cos if the fog was as thick as I remember it,

0:14:24 > 0:14:26nobody would see him, anyway.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28But doesn't it strike you as odd that not one person

0:14:28 > 0:14:30raised the possibility of foul play?

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Yeah, but all we know is he went arse over tit.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Nancy fails to agree.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37She's hardly a reliable witness.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Isn't that Nancy's old house?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Yeah. Yeah.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47I wonder if they know where they're living.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51This whole street is steeped in history. Every house tells a story.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55So why is that one keeping schtum?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Come on, I'll buy you a coffee.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03This is bordering on harassment, you know.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Like it or not, we have to take your mother's statement seriously.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08She is a vulnerable woman!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Who potentially holds the key to your father's disappearance.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Did Nancy ever talk to you about what happened that night?

0:15:17 > 0:15:21No. I didn't even know he'd drowned until I read about it in the paper.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23What about your extended family?

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Lost all four grandparents during the Blitz.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29There were the neighbours, of course. Popping in and out.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31Offering tea and sympathy.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Would you say it was a happy marriage?

0:15:33 > 0:15:38Yeah, course it was. My father worshipped the ground she walked on.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39It must have been hard on your mum.

0:15:39 > 0:15:44You know she was never able to look at his photo again after that night.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47It used to sit on her dressing table facing the wall.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49And she never re-married?

0:15:50 > 0:15:54She stayed in that same house for over 60 years.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56It was the only way she could stay close to him.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58And the house was sold at the beginning of this year.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Is that right?

0:16:00 > 0:16:04I couldn't afford to pay for her care, not on what I earn.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07It must have been a difficult time for both of you.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10It broke her heart.

0:16:12 > 0:16:16Now, if you don't mind, I should have been at work hours ago.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17Yes, of course.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Before you go, did your mother ever mention a Bertie to you?

0:16:23 > 0:16:26Not that I can remember.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Mr Hargreaves, we'll do everything we can to make

0:16:28 > 0:16:30this as painless as possible.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38You know you're wasting your time.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41She's just an ordinary woman who lives an ordinary life.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43There is no crime to investigate.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52He's just being overprotective. I'd probably be the same.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- You sure that's all it is? - How do you mean?

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Well, Terry was what, six, when Jimmy died?- So?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59So what's the betting he knows more than he's letting on?

0:16:59 > 0:17:02How did you get on, Gerry?

0:17:02 > 0:17:04Well, he was up to his neck in debt.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Presumably he threw the towel in.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Suicide? No, I don't buy it.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10That might be why Nancy was reluctant to talk to her son.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12What, you think she knew?

0:17:12 > 0:17:13It's a possibility.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15Any mention of depression in his service records?

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Passed his medical with flying colours.

0:17:17 > 0:17:22Decorated war hero. Struggling to adjust to life on Civvy Street.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25Hold on, hold on, we're talking about the '50s here.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28If you were depressed, you had a swift drink and got on with it.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Not like today. You can't even move in here without someone sending you

0:17:31 > 0:17:33to a bleedin' counsellor.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35Something I noticed from the original investigation...

0:17:35 > 0:17:38It refers to Nancy's health as "delicate."

0:17:38 > 0:17:40In other words, a hypochondriac.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42See if you can trace her medical records.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45Might shed some light on her state of mind at the time.

0:17:45 > 0:17:46Any luck tracking down the neighbours?

0:17:46 > 0:17:51- Well, we've found three so far. - And the rest are either dead or slipped off the radar completely.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53They all say the same thing. Nice quiet couple.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Kept themselves to themselves.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56Seems too good to be true.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58No clue to who this Bertie is?

0:17:58 > 0:18:00There was no-one living on the street with that name.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Keep looking, cos he obviously had some connection to Nancy.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Hang on a sec. I left a sausage roll in here this morning.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08And?

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Well, it's gone!

0:18:09 > 0:18:11Right. Let's pick this up in the morning.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Steve, do some digging, see if you can find out who it was that Jimmy owed money to.

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Yeah, more to the point, how much?

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Yeah, and the pub fight - see if anyone else was involved.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Where're you going?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I happen to have a dinner date, if you must know.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24Another one? Must be serious.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26Does Ned know about this?

0:18:26 > 0:18:29It's none of his business. Anyway, it's not that sort of a date.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Get out there, girl, show him what he's missing. PHONE RINGS

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Steve McAndrew.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35- 'Night.- Good night. - Somebody must have nicked it!

0:18:35 > 0:18:37I'll be right there.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39So, come on - which of you two took it?

0:18:39 > 0:18:40You all right, Steve?

0:18:40 > 0:18:42Er...yeah, yeah, fine.

0:18:42 > 0:18:43Oi!

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Hi, excuse me, I got a call to say my son was here.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Stewart McAndrew.- He was caught in possession of Class B drugs.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Tricia!

0:19:04 > 0:19:06I mean, you've got the means and the motive.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08It's a sausage roll!

0:19:08 > 0:19:10So you're not denying it, then?

0:19:10 > 0:19:13If only you approached every case with this much passion!

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Yeah, but you see, it's not just a sausage roll, is it?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's just the start of things to come.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21It always kicks off with the little things, doesn't it?

0:19:21 > 0:19:23- Like a sausage roll?- Exactly.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Thank God it wasn't a steak slice.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- I'll see ya.- Bye.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Oh, no, no, Danny - I forgot.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33- You know those three neighbours you found?- Hm?

0:19:33 > 0:19:36We're down to two. One keeled over at the bingo this morning.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38They're dropping like flies.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Short of getting the Ouija board out, I think we're officially screwed.

0:19:41 > 0:19:42Any word from Steve?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44No, not yet, no.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46I take it his son's in some sort of trouble.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Well, they all go off the rails at some point or another, don't they?

0:19:49 > 0:19:50And his ex-wife?

0:19:50 > 0:19:54She upped sticks in Scotland just to get away from him.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55Why was that?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57He's got a bit of a temper, the boy.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Threw a radio at her.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I don't know what to do, quite.

0:20:02 > 0:20:08Um... Well, I suppose we could always go for a drink together?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11What, you mean you and me? Just the two of us?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13What, is that so terrifying a prospect?

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Oh, no, no, no! Be great... Oh!

0:20:16 > 0:20:20Oh, look at that. Caitlin wants me to pop in.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- So I'll see you in the morning, all right, mate?- Yes.

0:20:22 > 0:20:23Cheers. Ta-da.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30Thank you.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34He was SO checking you out.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Shut up. I'm old enough to be his mother!

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Nonsense. Cougars are all the rage.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Busy day?- One miserable face after another.- Yeah, you're a doctor.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Don't remind me. So, what's all this about? Work or pleasure?

0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's a bit of both. Well, we've got this suspect...

0:20:49 > 0:20:52well, at least we think she's a suspect, but she's got dementia.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54OK, so what're we talking? Vascular?

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Alzheimer's.- How advanced?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58She was diagnosed three years ago.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00And how's her general health?

0:21:00 > 0:21:04No real cause for concern, according to her care home.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Well, of course, it varies hugely, depending on the individual,

0:21:07 > 0:21:11but in my experience, those moments of lucidity aren't lost altogether.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14So you think she might still be able to help us?

0:21:14 > 0:21:16This is where I say too much and get into trouble.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Come on, off the record.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Well, certain studies talk about recognition memory.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Sensory stimulation, if you like.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24Little triggers to the past.

0:21:24 > 0:21:25Such as?

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Sight. Hearing. Smell. Taste. Touch.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31You'd be amazed what memories our senses can evoke.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43So what happened?

0:21:45 > 0:21:48He got caught coming out of some dodgy flat in Camden.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Of all the stupid...

0:21:52 > 0:21:54They want one of us to be present during the interview.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Well, that's only cos he's underage. It's nothing to worry about.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08How he got hold of the money is anyone's guess.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11I'd already told him if he wanted cash he'd have to earn it.

0:22:11 > 0:22:16No idea he was into that kind of thing. I mean...

0:22:16 > 0:22:18And there you have it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Which one of you would like to act as Stewart's appropriate adult?

0:22:28 > 0:22:29I'll... I'll handle this.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Oh, force of habit. Sorry.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52- You and me are going to have words. - I'm sorry.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Have you any idea what went through my mind when I got that call?

0:22:55 > 0:22:57I'm sorry to interrupt, but I would like to get home this evening.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yeah, sorry. Steve McAndrew.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02Unsolved Crimes and Open Case Squad.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Can you confirm that you are Stewart McAndrew?- Yep.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06- Speak up.- Yes.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Before you start, could I just ask what quantity we're looking at?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Approximately seven grams.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Seven grams? Well, that's hardly enough to... I mean...

0:23:13 > 0:23:16We're looking at personal use only, no intent to supply.

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Do you admit the charge, Stewart?

0:23:18 > 0:23:23- Yes.- I would like to point out that Stewart has no criminal convictions of any kind,

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- least of all for drug offences. - Until now, that is.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29He's a good kid. Oxbridge material, apparently, according to his tutor.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Who was caught in possession of a class B drug.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34We're talking 15 quids' worth.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Which is why in this instance we're opting to caution your son

0:23:37 > 0:23:39rather than charge him.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42So, Stewart.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44Whilst a caution is not a criminal conviction,

0:23:44 > 0:23:48I should point out that it could end up being used as evidence

0:23:48 > 0:23:51of bad character if you later go to court for another crime.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Ooh, how about him?

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Come on. He's too old!

0:23:58 > 0:24:00What about the one looking over?

0:24:00 > 0:24:03Ha! I've arrested him twice.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05You know what your problem is? You're too fussy.

0:24:05 > 0:24:08He's an habitual offender. I'd hardly call that fussy.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Right, fine. We're just have to get you online, then, aren't we?

0:24:11 > 0:24:13No, no, no, I'm not listening to this.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15You are at your sexual peak, woman!

0:24:15 > 0:24:17Come on, now's the time to get out there and have a bit of fun.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19I'm too busy.

0:24:19 > 0:24:20What with?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Work, for a start.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27Oh! Those three dinosaurs. I bet even they're seeing more action than you are.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Yeah. And then there's Alex and Maddie.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32Who are shagging their way round campus if they're anything like us.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37It's just...it's difficult, that's all.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40I know it is. I went to pieces when John left me.

0:24:40 > 0:24:42What did you do?

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well, it's like grieving.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49You get angry, you get drunk, and then one day you think, "Sod it."

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Life goes on.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54I think I'm still at stage one.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57All right, well, not for much longer.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Come on - no more excuses!

0:25:05 > 0:25:06Did they charge him?

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Just a caution.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10What the hell were you thinking?

0:25:10 > 0:25:12- I'm sorry. - How long has this been going on?

0:25:12 > 0:25:16- It's just the odd spliff, that's all.- Well, it stops today. Is that understood?

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Let's get you home.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Do you want me to come with you?

0:25:20 > 0:25:23Take the keys and wait in the car.

0:25:30 > 0:25:31Don't worry. I'll talk to him.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35You really think you can bulldoze your way in here after ten years and start laying down the law?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Now, hang on a minute, I'm just... - No, you hang on!

0:25:37 > 0:25:40You're lucky I let Stewie come within ten feet of you

0:25:40 > 0:25:41after what you did.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43What? You know he was seeing me?

0:25:43 > 0:25:46What, the furtive phone calls, the sneaking around - it doesn't take a genius.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Well, you haven't tried to stop him! - What's the point? He'll see the real you soon enough.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, Trisha, will you never let this go? He's my son, too!

0:25:54 > 0:25:58Ed has been more of a father to that boy than you ever were.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03You never said where you parked.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37What are you doing, Gerry?

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Crumbs. In your drawer.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44One call to forensics and you are banged to rights.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46What are you talking about?

0:26:46 > 0:26:47My sausage roll.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49Are you serious?

0:26:49 > 0:26:50Yes, I am bloody serious!

0:26:50 > 0:26:54Is this really all you've got to worry about? Hey, why don't I just give you the money, eh?

0:26:54 > 0:26:56What are we talking about here? 70, 80p?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- 1.20.- Oh, 1.20! Sure I can manage that!

0:26:58 > 0:27:01Here, why don't you just take the whole damn lot?

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Oh-ho-ho!

0:27:04 > 0:27:08No wonder Stewie's going off the rails with an old man like you!

0:27:10 > 0:27:12What did you just say to me?

0:27:12 > 0:27:13You heard.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- You probably ate the damn thing yourself.- What does that mean?

0:27:16 > 0:27:20- What is it they say, the mind's the first thing to go? - Let's play nicely.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21That old dear was probably right.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22You probably should be in a home.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24I should punch your lights out.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Oh, you think you can manage that, do you?

0:27:27 > 0:27:28That's enough!

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Do I really have to split you two up?

0:27:34 > 0:27:35He started it.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37Yes, and I'm finishing it.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39Right. What have we got?

0:27:40 > 0:27:43Oh, er, yeah, that bloke Harry, who we met yesterday,

0:27:43 > 0:27:49he was busted in '57 for running a gambling racket, ended up banged up.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53So those IOUs of Jimmy's were actually all for Harry?

0:27:53 > 0:27:54Yeah.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56Well, go back and see him again.

0:27:57 > 0:27:59And take him with you.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07This isn't over.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13What the hell was that all that about?

0:28:13 > 0:28:14- Forget it.- No, Steve...

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Are you...

0:28:16 > 0:28:20Are you really serious about taking Nancy back to her old house?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24I've just spoken to the custody sergeant.

0:28:24 > 0:28:27He's fine with it as long as we use an appropriate adult.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29What about her son?

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Wants nothing to do with it. Reckons we're chasing ghosts.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34All we're doing is returning a suspect to the scene of the crime.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37Well, I suppose, assuming there is a crime.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40There's only one way we're going to find out.

0:28:43 > 0:28:47Where does he get off acting like that in the office?

0:28:48 > 0:28:52Tell you what, it's a good thing that Sasha was there...

0:28:52 > 0:28:56I'd hate to think what would have happened if she hadn't had been.

0:28:56 > 0:28:58- Gerry.- Uh?

0:29:01 > 0:29:02Oh, right.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10Hello, Harry. We need another little chat.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14How much did he owe you?

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Nearly £100.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23And a police officer at that time would have been earning, what...

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Nine, ten quid a week?

0:29:25 > 0:29:27I wouldn't know.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29You coming in?

0:29:29 > 0:29:31Er, no. No, thank you.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33So even if he gave you a quarter of his wages,

0:29:33 > 0:29:36we're talking about almost a year to pay off his debt.

0:29:36 > 0:29:37Yep.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41Problem with Jimmy was he didn't know when to stop.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Kept on asking for more.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47At first I thought I'd go along with it.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51He's a police officer. He wasn't about to screw me over.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53But that's exactly what he did do.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Threatened to grass me up to the boys in Scotland Yard.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58So you went after him?

0:29:58 > 0:30:01I told you before, I never saw him after he left the pub!

0:30:01 > 0:30:02I don't believe you.

0:30:02 > 0:30:03Believe what you like.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05I think you went after him.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08You wanted to get your money back and he just laughed in your face.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09What are you going to do?

0:30:09 > 0:30:13- One word from Jimmy and you're looking at a stretch inside.- No.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17How did you do it, Harry? How did you kill him?

0:30:17 > 0:30:21I never killed him, all right! I could've done, but I didn't.

0:30:21 > 0:30:22Why not?

0:30:22 > 0:30:25Cos he wasn't worth hanging for. Eh!

0:30:26 > 0:30:29One other thing.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33Yesterday, you seemed a little concerned about Nancy's welfare...

0:30:33 > 0:30:36She was always very kind to me.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38You said you only knew her in passing.

0:30:38 > 0:30:39So which is it?

0:30:41 > 0:30:43We were friends.

0:30:43 > 0:30:44Nothing more?

0:30:44 > 0:30:47I wouldn't even dignify that with a response.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50Come on, Harry. Attractive woman living around the corner.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Don't tell me you weren't tempted?

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Leave it!- No, answer the question.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59Nancy was strictly off limits. Jimmy saw to that.

0:31:08 > 0:31:11Emma, your role as appropriate adult is to ensure that we communicate

0:31:11 > 0:31:13effectively with Nancy.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16You have the right to stop this at any time.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18- I understand.- Are you ready?

0:31:19 > 0:31:23Don't worry. I'm going to be right by your side.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42What did Harry mean when he said that Nancy was strictly off limits?

0:31:42 > 0:31:47I suspect that being a copper, Jimmy was the possessive type.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Don't look at me. I was a model husband,

0:31:49 > 0:31:51on the rare occasion I went home.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Talking of exes,

0:31:53 > 0:31:55I see that Steve's wife is back with a vengeance.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57Steve who?

0:31:57 > 0:32:00Oh, come on, Gerry.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04Every bro-mance goes through a little rough patch, you know.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08You just have to make time for each other.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11Listen more. Hug it out.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Hug it out with him? You can forget that.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16Little present for you.

0:32:18 > 0:32:19What's that?

0:32:19 > 0:32:23That is the address of a doctors' surgery in Waterloo.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27- And?- Well, it turns out Nancy was something of a regular.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Yeah, but anything they had would have been shredded years ago.

0:32:32 > 0:32:36No, I've already checked. All their records have been archived.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38What, and it's down to me, is it?

0:32:39 > 0:32:41So what are you going to be doing

0:32:41 > 0:32:43while I'm trawling through their bins?

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Oh, I thought I'd do a little digging of my own,

0:32:46 > 0:32:48find out whose wedding it was.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51A wild goose chase, if you ask me.

0:32:51 > 0:32:56We haven't got any suspects, haven't even got a bleedin' body.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59How are you supposed to get into these?!

0:32:59 > 0:33:01Ah, done it.

0:33:04 > 0:33:09Ah, right. So how does all this work? Is it alphabetical?

0:33:09 > 0:33:11If you...

0:33:13 > 0:33:14Thanks a bunch(!)

0:33:33 > 0:33:35We'll take the lead from you.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00In your own time, Nancy.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03Just tell us when you're ready to talk.

0:34:03 > 0:34:06The sooner we're finished here, the happier I'll be.

0:34:19 > 0:34:21'What have I told you about running down the stairs?

0:34:21 > 0:34:24'Enemy sighting at six o'clock. Permission to fire, Sir.

0:34:24 > 0:34:26'Permission granted.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29'If you're going to play soldiers, do it outside.

0:34:29 > 0:34:30'You're supposed to be dead!

0:34:30 > 0:34:33'I got another Gerrie.

0:34:33 > 0:34:34'Oh, that's my boy!'

0:34:39 > 0:34:40Nancy?

0:34:44 > 0:34:45Where's she going?

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Nancy?

0:34:52 > 0:34:54What have they done?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57What have they done to my house?!

0:34:57 > 0:34:58Nancy...

0:34:58 > 0:35:00This isn't how it should be.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03It's not right. None of it is.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05I think she's had enough.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Come on, Nancy. Let's get you home. It's OK.- Get off me.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09- No-one's going to hurt you. - Get away from me!

0:35:09 > 0:35:11It's all right, it's all right.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Nancy? What is it you're so frightened of?

0:35:17 > 0:35:19Talk to me, Nancy.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23'You've been out there again, haven't you? Parading yourself.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25'Making a show of me.

0:35:25 > 0:35:28'Who was it this time, eh? Bill. 'Harry Page?

0:35:28 > 0:35:30'It's all in your head, Jimmy.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32'So you're calling me a liar now?

0:35:32 > 0:35:34'Let me fix you another drink.

0:35:34 > 0:35:37'I don't want another drink.'

0:35:41 > 0:35:44'SCREAMING'

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- I want to go.- Yes, of course.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Please don't keep me here. - It's all right, Nancy.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56You don't have to do anything you don't want to.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58You should never have brought her here.

0:35:58 > 0:35:59I'm sorry.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00I tried to save him.

0:36:02 > 0:36:03But it was too late.

0:36:03 > 0:36:04Who, Nancy?

0:36:05 > 0:36:07I didn't even get to bury him.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Oh, yes! Gotcha.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28Now, Margaret Ann Blissett,

0:36:28 > 0:36:31married William Thomas Butler of 38 Shiplake Street

0:36:31 > 0:36:34on the 12th November 1956.

0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Next door to Nancy? - Are they both alive?

0:36:36 > 0:36:41Well, they moved out in 1976 to an address in Camberwell,

0:36:41 > 0:36:43and that's where the trail ends, sadly.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45Well, keep looking.

0:36:47 > 0:36:51Will somebody tell him I've had to block him in?

0:36:51 > 0:36:52The car park's chocka.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Will you two just sort it out, please?- Listen, Gerry, I ca...

0:36:55 > 0:36:59Would you tell my colleague that I have absolutely no interest in whatever he has to say?

0:36:59 > 0:37:03- This is like working in a creche. - Except we're dealing with considerably lower IQs.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Here you go. Nancy's medical records.

0:37:08 > 0:37:09Anything interesting?

0:37:09 > 0:37:11It starts off pretty standard.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Bit of bruising here and there, abrasions on her arm,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16but then he pushes it up a notch.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Fractured wrist and three broken ribs,

0:37:18 > 0:37:22So not only is our local bobby a chronic gambler and alcoholic,

0:37:22 > 0:37:24he's also handy with his fists.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28- That would explain Nancy's behaviour at the house. - So why didn't she go to the police?

0:37:28 > 0:37:32Well, they wouldn't have bothered with domestics in those days, would they? And anyway, he was the police!

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Call in the specialist search team.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38Specialist search...? Does she know something we don't?

0:37:38 > 0:37:41Ceiling, walls, floor. I want everything ripped up.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45PHONE RINGS

0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Steve.- Hm?- Tricia.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Thanks.

0:37:50 > 0:37:51Hello?

0:37:53 > 0:37:56Hope he's not in a hurry. I've blocked him in!

0:37:56 > 0:37:58HE LAUGHS

0:38:31 > 0:38:32Are you sure about this?

0:38:32 > 0:38:34Not really, no.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36So why are we here?

0:38:36 > 0:38:38Because I know this house is hiding something.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46I've called round all his friends but no-one's seen him.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48What about his mobile?

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Switched off.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52And you've no idea where he might've gone?

0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Do you really think I'd be sat here if I did?- OK, OK. Did you have a row?

0:38:59 > 0:39:01I found another stash in his room.

0:39:01 > 0:39:02Ah, shit. What did you do?

0:39:02 > 0:39:04I flushed it down the toilet.

0:39:04 > 0:39:05Yeah, all right.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09I blame you for all this, you know.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12Just waltzing back into his life after ten years.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14No wonder the kid's confused.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22What, you've got nothing to say? Is that it?

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Just bury your head in the sand like you always did.

0:39:25 > 0:39:27Great to see you, too, Trish.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30We really must do this again some time, in another ten years!

0:39:36 > 0:39:38Do you think the neighbours knew?

0:39:38 > 0:39:42I can't see how you could keep a secret on a street like this.

0:39:42 > 0:39:44Come on. How long does it take to find a body?

0:39:44 > 0:39:47That's assuming there's a body to find.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Don't say that.

0:39:49 > 0:39:54Still, kudos for getting Strickland to sign off on this one.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56Yeah, I didn't.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Well, sometimes you've just got to take the initiative.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02And if we go back empty-handed?

0:40:02 > 0:40:05Don't even want to think about that.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Ma'am, you'd better come and see this.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16Is it Jimmy?

0:41:08 > 0:41:10So what happens now?

0:41:10 > 0:41:13I don't know about you, but I could really use a drink.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31So we're just going to sit here in silence, are we?

0:41:31 > 0:41:34Now I know where Stewie gets it from.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37What do you want me to say - I'm sorry?

0:41:37 > 0:41:39It'd be a start, yeah. Hm-mm.

0:41:41 > 0:41:43You really haven't got a clue, have you?

0:41:43 > 0:41:46What it was like being married to you.

0:41:46 > 0:41:50The days when you couldn't even get out of your bed to see your son.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54All your highs, and your lows. And we lived through them all.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56You were the one who had the affair, remember?

0:41:56 > 0:41:58You took Stewie and you just disappeared.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00I mean, it was terrible!

0:42:00 > 0:42:01Is there any wonder?

0:42:03 > 0:42:06You suffocated the life out of me, Steve.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10I just needed to find some comfort from somewhere, anywhere!

0:42:14 > 0:42:18I looked at you sometimes and do you know who I saw staring back at me?

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Your father.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23You broke us.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Just like he broke you.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38Hey! You've got some explaining to do, pal.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40- What are you doing here? - Looking for you!

0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Oh, I stayed at a mate's house. - Why didn't you answer your phone?

0:42:43 > 0:42:45- I lost my phone.- Get in the car.

0:42:45 > 0:42:46Are you two OK now?

0:42:46 > 0:42:48Just get in the car.

0:42:53 > 0:42:54Now you listen to me.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Not only are you slowly killing off the few brain cells you've got left,

0:42:57 > 0:43:00but you're jeopardising any chance you have of getting into university.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03- I've said I'll stop.- What about the stash your mother found?

0:43:03 > 0:43:05It's just what I had left over.

0:43:05 > 0:43:06If I catch you smoking again,

0:43:06 > 0:43:10that stash won't be the only thing I end up flushing down the toilet.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17So are you and Mum friends again?

0:43:18 > 0:43:20I wouldn't say that exactly.

0:43:23 > 0:43:27Well, I suppose we ought to draw up some sort of timetable.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29What for?

0:43:29 > 0:43:33Well, if Stewie's going to divide his time between the two of us...

0:43:34 > 0:43:35Cool.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39Thank you.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43Yes, I know, it's just that I haven't heard from you in a week.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46Well, I don't want to keep you if you're going out.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48Where are you going? Anywhere nice?

0:43:50 > 0:43:52The joys of being a single parent.

0:43:52 > 0:43:54And he used to be such a mummy's boy.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59- You ought to get on the internet, guv.- Not you as well!

0:43:59 > 0:44:03No, seriously, there's a million lonely divorcees out there

0:44:03 > 0:44:06just gagging to be comforted by someone just like you.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08If that doesn't put her off, Gerry, nothing will.

0:44:08 > 0:44:11We've heard back from the forensic anthropologist.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13And?

0:44:13 > 0:44:14The baby wasn't full term.

0:44:16 > 0:44:17How old?

0:44:17 > 0:44:20Six months. Possibly seven.

0:44:20 > 0:44:21Jimmy's handiwork?

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Quite possibly.- Well, there's your motive right there.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26You think she fought back?

0:44:26 > 0:44:29I'd say he gave her good reason to, wouldn't you?

0:44:29 > 0:44:30Poor cow.

0:44:30 > 0:44:32So what do you want to do?

0:44:32 > 0:44:34We bring Nancy in for questioning.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Whoa, whoa! You tread carefully there, guv'nor.

0:44:36 > 0:44:37Yeah, I intend to!

0:44:37 > 0:44:39Even a hint of a balls-up, the CPS will drop this quicker

0:44:39 > 0:44:41than a whore's drawers on a Friday night.

0:44:41 > 0:44:45- Guv...- Look, I don't know what you're trying to pin on my mother,

0:44:45 > 0:44:47but it ends right here. Is that understood?

0:44:50 > 0:44:53Terry, come and take a seat in my office.

0:45:07 > 0:45:09Did you know that you had a baby brother?

0:45:11 > 0:45:13We found him buried at the house.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18What happened?

0:45:18 > 0:45:20I don't think we'll ever know that for sure.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25Was your father ever violent towards you, Terry?

0:45:25 > 0:45:26Never.

0:45:29 > 0:45:33We're going to arrange for your mother to undergo a capacity assessment...

0:45:33 > 0:45:37That way, we'll know whether or not we can interview her formally.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42She's a wonderful woman, my mother.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47He just...pushed her too far.

0:46:09 > 0:46:11Nancy.

0:46:14 > 0:46:18I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you come with us to the station.

0:46:20 > 0:46:27Once we're there, one of our doctors will assess whether you can help us further with our investigation.

0:46:27 > 0:46:28Who are you?

0:46:36 > 0:46:38DCI Sasha Miller.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43I'll just go and get my coat.

0:46:43 > 0:46:46I think it might be a bit chilly later.

0:46:54 > 0:46:57If I were you, I'd put that under lock and key.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59Mr Standing.

0:46:59 > 0:47:01Could I have a word?

0:47:01 > 0:47:02Yeah, of course. Come on.

0:47:08 > 0:47:10It's just in here, Nancy.

0:47:12 > 0:47:14Terry...

0:47:14 > 0:47:15It's all right. I'm here.

0:47:15 > 0:47:18- Guv'nor, have you got a minute? - Can this wait, Gerry?

0:47:18 > 0:47:19I don't think so.

0:47:21 > 0:47:24Nancy, my colleague here is going to make you a cup of tea

0:47:24 > 0:47:26and we'll be back with you as soon as we can.

0:47:26 > 0:47:27Has something happened?

0:47:27 > 0:47:30I'm sorry. There's just something I need to deal with first.

0:47:30 > 0:47:31Step inside, please.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36Harry Page has just confessed to Jimmy's murder.

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Get Strickland to authorise a warrant to search Harry's house.

0:47:42 > 0:47:44Have you seen the state of it?

0:47:44 > 0:47:46I'd have more luck raiding a car boot sale.

0:47:46 > 0:47:49Just find me something. Anything.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55So, let's start at the beginning, shall we?

0:47:55 > 0:47:56I killed him.

0:47:56 > 0:47:58How?

0:47:58 > 0:48:01I followed him out of the pub and we got in a fight.

0:48:01 > 0:48:03And then what?

0:48:03 > 0:48:08Jimmy got me on the ground so I reached up and grabbed a brick.

0:48:08 > 0:48:10And hit him where, exactly?

0:48:10 > 0:48:13Cracked him straight across the skull.

0:48:13 > 0:48:14So where's the body, Harry?

0:48:14 > 0:48:16I dumped him in the river.

0:48:16 > 0:48:19A busy pub on a Saturday night and no-one else saw you?

0:48:19 > 0:48:22I hid round the back till they closed up.

0:48:22 > 0:48:24And then what? Dragged the body all the way to the river?

0:48:24 > 0:48:26That's right.

0:48:26 > 0:48:29No. It would take at least two people to move a dead body.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32- I was a strong man back then.- Oh!

0:48:33 > 0:48:37So, come on - when are you going to charge me?

0:48:37 > 0:48:40As soon as we're satisfied you're telling the truth.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17What do you think?

0:49:17 > 0:49:18Too easy.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21Jimmy owed him what? 90 quid.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23You really think that's enough to kill him?

0:49:23 > 0:49:26It was a lot of money in those days.

0:49:26 > 0:49:29Do you think he's covering for Nancy?

0:49:29 > 0:49:31If he is, he's 60 years too late.

0:49:42 > 0:49:44Are you looking for Nancy?

0:49:44 > 0:49:47Because the police came and took her away.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Actually, Peggy, I've come to see you.

0:49:52 > 0:49:57Or to use your full name, Margaret Ann Butler nee Blissett...

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Formerly of number 38 Shiplake Street.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05Your wife and Nancy were friends, right?

0:50:05 > 0:50:07Till the day she died.

0:50:07 > 0:50:12And I would imagine that London wasn't a particularly welcoming place back then.

0:50:12 > 0:50:14It wasn't.

0:50:14 > 0:50:15But Nancy was different?

0:50:16 > 0:50:20She went out of her way to make us feel at home.

0:50:20 > 0:50:24That woman... she was an angel.

0:50:26 > 0:50:29Tell me about Jimmy and Nancy's marriage, Harry.

0:50:29 > 0:50:30What about it?

0:50:30 > 0:50:33Come on. Everyone knows he used to knock her around.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35That wasn't my business.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37So you just turned a blind eye?

0:50:37 > 0:50:40It wasn't the done thing to interfere,

0:50:40 > 0:50:42especially someone of my colour.

0:50:42 > 0:50:44She was pregnant, did you know?

0:50:44 > 0:50:46I had heard.

0:50:46 > 0:50:47'Cept she lost it.

0:50:48 > 0:50:51See, we're still trying to establish whether or not

0:50:51 > 0:50:53it was a punch or a kick that did it.

0:50:54 > 0:50:55You know what I find strange,

0:50:55 > 0:50:59that no-one on that street did anything.

0:50:59 > 0:51:02I mean, you go all out to welcome a bride and groom, but no-one

0:51:02 > 0:51:05helped a woman who's being beaten to within an inch of her life!

0:51:05 > 0:51:07You don't understand.

0:51:07 > 0:51:10What's to understand? You let her down, Harry.

0:51:10 > 0:51:13That's why we're really here, isn't it, Harry?

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Cos for the last 60 years, it's been eating away at you.

0:51:15 > 0:51:18I tried! God knows I tried.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20But Jimmy, he was dangerous.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22So you just let it go on?

0:51:22 > 0:51:24What choice did we have?

0:51:24 > 0:51:27The police weren't going to turn on one of their own, were they?

0:51:27 > 0:51:30No, but someone did intervene that night.

0:51:30 > 0:51:32So who was it, Harry?

0:51:32 > 0:51:35Who was man enough to stand up to Jimmy Hargreaves?

0:51:39 > 0:51:42It was the brooch that gave you away, Peggy.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44It's a Swallowtail, if memory serves.

0:51:44 > 0:51:48That was a present from my mother on my wedding day.

0:51:49 > 0:51:52Have you and Nancy been friends for long?

0:51:52 > 0:51:55- Over 65 years.- Hm.

0:51:55 > 0:51:56It must have been hard.

0:51:57 > 0:52:02Watching someone you care about being beaten, week in, week out.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04I don't know what you're talking about.

0:52:04 > 0:52:07Come on, Peggy.

0:52:07 > 0:52:08Best friends.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12I bet you two shared everything.

0:52:14 > 0:52:17Every slap. Every cry.

0:52:18 > 0:52:21I expect you lived it all yourself.

0:52:21 > 0:52:25He once punched her so hard he managed to make her miscarry.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29And yet no-one intervened?

0:52:29 > 0:52:31The men knew all about it,

0:52:31 > 0:52:33but they were too scared to do anything.

0:52:34 > 0:52:36The night Jimmy disappeared...

0:52:36 > 0:52:40That was my wedding day.

0:52:50 > 0:52:53'But the men all went off to the pub, didn't they?'

0:52:56 > 0:52:58So there you are,

0:52:58 > 0:53:04the blushing bride waiting eagerly for her husband to come home.

0:53:05 > 0:53:08Except it was quite an agonising wait, wasn't it,

0:53:08 > 0:53:12what with all the thumps and the screams coming from next door.

0:53:15 > 0:53:17It sounded like he was going to kill her.

0:53:21 > 0:53:26'I tried to pull him off her, but Jimmy wasn't letting go.

0:53:26 > 0:53:29'He had this look in his eyes.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36'It was the devil, I tell you.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44'What did you do with the body, Peggy?'

0:53:44 > 0:53:48We waited till the early hours

0:53:48 > 0:53:52and then we loaded him into the back of my husband's car.

0:53:52 > 0:53:54So where did you take him?

0:53:54 > 0:53:57We drove him to a bombsite.

0:53:57 > 0:54:04Kids had already been digging so I just covered him up as best I could.

0:54:06 > 0:54:07And Nancy?

0:54:07 > 0:54:10Oh, she was in shock.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12I don't think she knew what was going on.

0:54:14 > 0:54:17'She loved him, see. In spite of everything.'

0:54:20 > 0:54:22A street full of men,

0:54:22 > 0:54:25and not one of them had the balls to stand up to Jimmy.

0:54:26 > 0:54:29Do you want us to do Harry for wasting police time?

0:54:29 > 0:54:31- Let him go.- Why bother confessing in the first place?

0:54:31 > 0:54:34Guilt. He chose to turn a blind eye,

0:54:34 > 0:54:36just like everyone else on that street.

0:54:36 > 0:54:39You think the CPS have got enough to charge Peggy?

0:54:39 > 0:54:41That's their call.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44- What about Nancy?- I think she's suffered enough, don't you?

0:54:46 > 0:54:48And what happens now?

0:54:48 > 0:54:50I'm going to take you home, Mum.

0:54:51 > 0:54:53And Bertie?

0:54:55 > 0:54:57He's at peace now.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14All right?

0:55:14 > 0:55:15Yeah, all right.

0:55:19 > 0:55:20Good result today.

0:55:22 > 0:55:24It's what we're paid for.

0:55:25 > 0:55:29Look, Gerry, about what I said the other day, I...

0:55:29 > 0:55:31I was out of order, OK?

0:55:32 > 0:55:36Well, at least we agree on something.

0:55:36 > 0:55:40It's just not the same drinking without you, all right?

0:55:40 > 0:55:41It's cheaper, granted,

0:55:41 > 0:55:44but...

0:55:44 > 0:55:46it's like Batman without Robin,

0:55:46 > 0:55:48you know what I mean?

0:55:48 > 0:55:50More like Laurel without Hardy.

0:55:54 > 0:55:59And I don't expect you needed me on your case...

0:56:10 > 0:56:11Pint?

0:56:13 > 0:56:15I'll grab my coat.

0:56:22 > 0:56:24We are going for a drink.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26Ah!

0:56:26 > 0:56:27You coming, guv'nor?

0:56:27 > 0:56:29No, I've made other plans. Sorry.

0:56:29 > 0:56:33- Danny?- I think I'll let you two have a little alone time.

0:56:33 > 0:56:36And remember, Sash, it's just like riding a bike.

0:56:36 > 0:56:39Just don't forget to take your stabilisers off, OK?

0:56:39 > 0:56:40And if he gives you any jip,

0:56:40 > 0:56:43you come and find us, all right?

0:56:43 > 0:56:46Gerry, the boss and I have been working on a new case.

0:56:46 > 0:56:48Yep, we could really use your input.

0:56:48 > 0:56:51All right, yeah, sure. What have you got?

0:57:00 > 0:57:03Yeah, yeah, yeah - very funny(!)

0:57:03 > 0:57:05Well, an allegation has been made, Gerry.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07It's our duty to follow it up.

0:57:07 > 0:57:09You know your trouble, don't you?

0:57:09 > 0:57:12You've got too much time on your hands, mate.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16- Is that what I think it is?- No, no.

0:57:16 > 0:57:19- Come back here, Gerry! - It's a different one.

0:57:23 > 0:57:25Hi.

0:57:25 > 0:57:26Christ, you look rough.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28It's been one of those days.

0:57:28 > 0:57:29Should I even ask?

0:57:29 > 0:57:30I'll only depress you.

0:57:30 > 0:57:31Then don't bother.

0:57:31 > 0:57:32What are you doing?!

0:57:32 > 0:57:34Go to the toilet and get that face sorted out.

0:57:34 > 0:57:37- Just tell me what the problem is first.- Sorry?

0:57:37 > 0:57:38You said you needed some advice.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40Oh, did I? I was lying.

0:57:40 > 0:57:42What are you doing?

0:57:42 > 0:57:44It's called a set-up.

0:57:44 > 0:57:46Only talk to the ones with the red straws. The rest are married.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48You'll thank me in the morning.

0:57:59 > 0:58:01# It's all right It's OK

0:58:01 > 0:58:04# Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey

0:58:04 > 0:58:07# It's all right I say it's OK

0:58:07 > 0:58:10# Listen to what I say

0:58:10 > 0:58:12# It's all right, doing fine

0:58:12 > 0:58:15# Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine

0:58:15 > 0:58:18# It's all right I say it's OK

0:58:18 > 0:58:20# We're gettin' to the end of the day. #
