0:00:07 > 0:00:10- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Hello, James. How are you?
0:00:28 > 0:00:29- A bit nervous.- So you should be.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- You look fantastic.- Thank you.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Well, I might have exaggerated slightly.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37- Slightly? - Well, we haven't seen him since.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43I've been thinking a lot about the past lately.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Mm-hm. How does it look? - Well, it's not all funny stories.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49A fair few regrets. You being most of them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Well... What's done is done.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56What are you thinking?
0:00:56 > 0:01:02You want to know? I'm thinking about the time your decree nisi never came
0:01:02 > 0:01:05through, and about finding out you hadn't even put in for it.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Yeah, not my finest hour.
0:01:09 > 0:01:15What can I say? I was...young, I was cocky, I was immature.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19But, you know, we get older and maybe a bit wiser.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Maybe now I know the true value of beautiful things.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31You had what it takes, Sandra. I mean - Detective Super!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33What am I by comparison - just some dilettante.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Come on, you haven't done that badly for yourself.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Talking of which, do you want to hear about this case?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Yeah, sure.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Mal Baxter, 52, successful antiques dealer.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49June 1995 - he was killed in his home in a burglary gone wrong.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Baxter disturbed the robber, or robbers,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56and is hit once over the head with some sort of heavy, blunt object.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Leaving this rather nasty impression.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- So why bring this to me now? - Well, the original investigation had
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Mal Baxter down as some sort of respected gentleman trader, but I've since discovered otherwise.
0:02:09 > 0:02:15When I became Head of the Art and Antiques Squad I had access to files saying Mal Baxter was an informant.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Oh... That's interesting.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- And this is the reason you got me here, is it?- It's my excuse.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33# It's all right It's OK
0:02:33 > 0:02:36# Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey
0:02:36 > 0:02:40# It's all right I say it's OK
0:02:40 > 0:02:41# Listen to what I say
0:02:41 > 0:02:44# It's all right, doing fine
0:02:44 > 0:02:48# Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine
0:02:48 > 0:02:50# It's all right I say it's OK
0:02:50 > 0:02:52# We're gettin' to the end of the day. #
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh, come on. Agh...
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Agh!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Oh, bloody hell.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Oh, great. Marvellous.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Thank you, world.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- What the hell are you doing?- Same as you, mate. Imitating an idiot!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Oh.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Oh, yes, do, do. Come on.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I love you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Oh... Oh, my God, that's bigger than I thought.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Mal Baxter, wife Helen, daughter Vivienne.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08Late '70s, early '80s, we now know that Mal was an informant for the Art and Antiques Squad
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- and in exchange they turned a blind eye to some of his dodgier dealings.- How dodgy?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- They described him as a broker. - Fence.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Sorry. Puncture.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22You look a bit deflated yourself, mate.
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Well, you're here now. Don't worry.
0:04:23 > 0:04:30- Murder weapon, heavy with a curved edge. Never found, I suppose?- No.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And it doesn't fit the description of any missing antique.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37So a burglary gone wrong could now be the targeted murder of an informant?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Yeah, there was no documented link to the people Mal helped put away,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44but there was a rumour he was responsible for Lionel Scott.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47The Lionel Scott?! What did the Mail call him...
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- The "Burglar from Belgravia"! - "The Magician" we knew him as.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- That's right, yeah.- Did the gallery job on Cork Street.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55To this day no-one knows how he got in or out.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, Scott died in prison serving a 10-year sentence.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Six months before the killing of Mal Baxter.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Yeah, but Scott was a one-man band, wasn't he?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That's what everyone says but I want to know who he knew,
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- in case someone cared enough to fix the person who put him away. - What about the wife and daughter?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Daughter, Vivienne, 18 at the time, was away at boarding school.
0:05:12 > 0:05:18Wife Helen was in Brighton for the day with their chauffer, Tony Morgan who's got form for GBH.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Roger Bowman?- Roger Bowman was Mal Baxter's ex-business partner.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25They'd split two years earlier and he has an alibi for the day of the murder.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Who's heading the Art and Antiques Squad these days?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- DCI James Larson. - What, the babe-magnet?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- I remember him as very smart.- Quite.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So retract your claws, Gerry, and just get on with it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Right, you two get on to Tony Morgan. Brian, let's go.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54OK, I give up.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- Give what up?- Whatever it is that's kept you deaf, dumb and blind since we got in the car.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Esther.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- I caught her.- Caught her doing what?
0:06:04 > 0:06:06I don't know.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08But she looked very happy doing it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Happier than I've seen her in a long while.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Brian, what you talking about?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17She's bought herself a laptop. I caught her on it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Wow, how terrible(!)
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- I think she was on the internet.- So?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, I've hardly ever seen her on it before.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27What was she doing?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I mean her face. She looked so...
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- alive. - Where you going with this, Brian?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Well, you're a woman.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41There's lots of things you can do on the internet, Brian.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44It isn't all about sex, weirdly. She could have been shopping.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Didn't look like shopping to me.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50You'd be surprised. A pair of designer shoes will bring ecstasy to many a woman's face.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- More than most men do in my experience.- This is Esther.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Anyway, I know it was dodgy.- Why?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58When I tried accessing her e-mails she'd changed the password.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02You tried to access her e-mail account? Why didn't you just ask her?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Because that would have been invading on a private moment, wouldn't it?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Councillor Vivienne Baxter?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Yes. Please, come in, come in.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Thank you.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26I can't tell you how much this means to my mother and I - the possibility of finding my father's killer.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Even now, after all this time, it's still difficult for us to come to terms with what happened.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36It certainly destroyed any illusion I may have had about the allure of antiques.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38So you never wanted to go into the family business then?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Absolutely not. Before politics, I worked in investment banking.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I know this is difficult, Ms Baxter, but your father's murder -
0:07:46 > 0:07:51in your statement you said you were always afraid that something like that might happen.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56After Daddy sold the shop in the Kings Road, they traded from the house in Barnes.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59My father said it made sense for Tony Morgan to live in with them.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04A chauffeur! Then I realised he wanted him there for security.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And did you think they were in actual danger?
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Even at the age of 18 I knew enough to know that the antiques trade is made up of all sorts.
0:08:12 > 0:08:19From perfectly agreeable experts with Masters degrees, to, well, less scrupulous types.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm sorry. I'll take you to meet my mother.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Look at all this! Paradise for some people.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31You ever collect anything, Gerry?
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Yeah, wives. And losing betting slips.- I used to come to places like this a lot.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- You?- Yeah. Not any more.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41No fun on your own.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Ha! Dalton stoneware.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Very collectable to some people.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49You should be on the Antiques Roadshow.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53That could be our man.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57You're breaking my heart! I paid you full price for the chairs.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I didn't quibble about the price, did I?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- You're stealing from me. It's 300. - Two and a half, tops.- Go on.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Thank you, Sarah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Excuse me, Tony Morgan?- Yes?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Jack Halford, Gerry Standing, we're from UCOS. Thanks for coming up.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That's OK. I'm in London twice a week buying stock.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Two and a half for a fishing reel?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's a steal.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- We're in the wrong game. - I take it you have an antiques shop in Brighton?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25No, I have a successful business in Brighton dealing in quality merchandise.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Done well for yourself.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Yeah. Not bad for a Barnardo's boy.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32There's really no reason why a man's past should ruin his future.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Now, how about you two gentlemen giving me a hand with these chairs?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38My car's just around the corner.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47We think that Mal was a police informant and that could well have put him in danger.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's impossible! I mean...
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Mal would help the police with their enquiries if stolen goods came into the shop, of course.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59Mrs Baxter, he didn't inform out of a moral obligation, at least not all the time.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04He traded names for immunity, because he was dealing in stolen goods.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07You're not serious? I'm sorry but I thought you came to...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Oh, of course. You've been talking to Roger Bowman.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11As it happens, we haven't yet.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14You needn't bother. I know what he'll say and it will be rubbish.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Jaundiced and bitter rubbish at that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Daddy cut off all business ties with Bowman because he became an alcoholic.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Vivienne, that's not true. You hardly knew him.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I know what he's become.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29A sad and lonely old man who slanders this family as a matter of course.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Thankfully no-one takes him seriously.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34This information came from the Met Art and Antiques' Squad.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36In which case, show me the proof.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Show me records of such dealings by my father.- There are no records.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Of course there aren't. Because his reputation is impeccable.
0:10:42 > 0:10:48You said there are just as many unscrupulous people in the antiques business as there are honest ones.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52There are unscrupulous people in all professions of life.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56It's a matter of choice whether you actually do business with them.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59And I can assure you,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Mal did not.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Now, if you'll excuse me.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09In case you missed it, that was my mother being upset.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12When my father died, a large part of my mother died with him.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So what do you think?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I think Vivienne doesn't have a clue about Mal's dealings.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26That said, she is a politician and they're not exactly unversed in duplicity are they, Brian?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Brian, you're not still obsessing about Esther, are you?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31No, no. I'm not.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37Right. Let's get this sorted once and for all. Call her and tell her what's on your mind.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Roger Bowman. I think we should see him next.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53I drove Helen down to Brighton about 8.30 am and when we got back
0:11:53 > 0:11:55that evening, around 7pm, you lot were waiting.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- A day out, or business?- Bit of both.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03Brighton has a big antique trade, we had a stroll around the shops and a walk down the prom.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Lets face it, it's not Helen you're interested in. It's me.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Six months for GBH.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Then another six for nearly killing a man in prison.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16I'd call that interesting.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Self defence.- You hit him with a... What was it? A chair leg?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Least it wasn't Chippendale.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Look, do we have to dwell on this unpleasantness, gentlemen?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28All ancient and unfortunate history far as I'm concerned.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Do us a favour, Tony, and drop the My Fair Lady act, will you?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34You're a south London boy and we know it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38You mean you'd like me to drop my vowels to make YOU feel better about yourself?
0:12:38 > 0:12:44Oh, no, I'm all for a bit of upward mobility but you're laying it on a bit strong, son.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I was with the Baxters for ten years.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Taught me everything I know.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Not just about the antiques game, about life.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56How to conduct myself, how to talk, books to read.
0:12:56 > 0:13:01And you're right, I get angry when I think about what happened because it was my job to look after him.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03And I didn't, not on that day.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Not when it counted.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07How did you meet them - Mal and Helen?
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I answered an ad in the paper.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Juvenile detention centres, followed by prison.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Not exactly a glowing CV, is it?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18No, you're right. There was a touch of Pygmalion involved.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Or My Fair Lady - as you like to call it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- Mal wasn't just a Henry Higgins type character, he was more of a... - More like a father?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Sounds soppy I know, but...
0:13:31 > 0:13:36Not at all. Tell me, did you know Lionel Scott?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Well, only by reputation.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45What was it again? The Magician.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Mal Baxter put him away.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49He was a grass.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Mal?! Nah. Rubbish.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55You're having a laugh.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57You say he was like a father to you, right?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Well, this is an opportunity to catch his killer.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You might never get another one.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07So, you didn't know Scott.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Did you know anyone who might have been associated with him?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I told you, I left that world behind years ago.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Who told you that load of old tosh about Mal anyway?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18The Met's Art and Antiques Squad.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Ha! Oh, right, that lot.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23You'll have to forgive me, gentlemen. I want to beat the traffic.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Just one more thing before you go.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Starting up in the antique business is expensive.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34How did you manage it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Well, after Mal died Helen lost all interest in antiques.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Sold up. I was out of a job.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45So she gave me some stock to get started as a kind of redundancy pay.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I'll see you around.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49You might.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Nice motor.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Cost a bob or two.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I got one of these for Mark on his first Christmas.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11Esther wouldn't let him play with it. The little Sean Connery ejector seat would've had his eye out.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13So I played with it!
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Apparently most days he's holed up in The Portobello Star, which is there.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Have you seen the price on this?!
0:15:30 > 0:15:36- Roger Bowman?- Dealer in fine art, antiques, collectables and freelance auctioneer.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Have gavel, will travel, so to speak.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Mr Bowman, we'd like to talk to you about Mal Baxter.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46He's dead, and a bloody good job I say!
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Oh, dear.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Avarice.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53That's what did it.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- Did what?- For Mal. He got greedy.
0:15:56 > 0:16:02Mal started to travel abroad to buy goods, goods that he would smuggle through customs.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- My nerves couldn't take it. - So what did you do?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Sold the business and went our separate ways.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Personally, I blame that bloody witch... Sorry, wife of his!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Helen?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14She drove him to it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17A magpie. Anything that glittered, she had to have it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23- Forced Mal to involve himself with some of the undesirables of our business.- Define undesirables.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Lionel Scott, people like that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28You must have heard of him?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Scott was a vulgarian.- And?
0:16:31 > 0:16:35I'm just saying that was the class of person Mal was now mixing with.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Scott, Tony Morgan, another nasty little oik Mal took under his wing.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Come on, Roger. You can do better than that.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49I know for a fact that other items were stolen from Mal's house on the day of the robbery.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- How do you know?- Because they turned up at Bermondsey market.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56But they were never reported to the police, because they themselves were, how shall I put it...
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- stolen.- What were these items?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Well, I didn't actually see them. - So, who told you?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Just a rumour.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Hi.- Hi.
0:17:10 > 0:17:17- DCI James Larson. This is Brian Lane, Jack Halford and Gerry Standing. - Hello.- How do you do?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20We agreed to keep each other informed of progress on the case.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- That's easy enough - there isn't any!- Actually, there is.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Brian and I talked to Roger Bowman. Have you come across him?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Occasionally.- What do you think?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- I think he's a bitter, twisted, old lush.- Unreliable?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Completely unreliable. Why?
0:17:34 > 0:17:39He told us that he'd heard there were stolen goods in Mal's house along with other items that were taken.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- It's possible. - And ended up on Bermondsey market.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47- If it's true, then anything nicked would have ended up there.- Why?
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- Bermondsey was what they used to call a "Market Overt" under a 700-year-old law.- Before my time!
0:17:52 > 0:17:59This law meant that between sundown and sun up, goods could be bought and sold at markets with impunity.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- Like a thieves' charter?- Well, yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06- Wasn't Princess Margaret's jewellery supposed to have been flogged off there?- Twice.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Roger wouldn't tell us where he got the information from...
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Roger had an old dealer mate, Wally Brooks.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16He's got a shop on the Golborne Road but back then Wally had a stall at Bermondsey.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Wally Brooks gave Roger Bowman his alibi the day Mal Baxter died.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Right. Jack, you and Gerry go and speak to Wally Brooks.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25We'll take this to the Baxters. Thank you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Any time.- Can I ask you something?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- What do you know about Tony Morgan? - That's the Baxters' driver.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- He wheels and deals a bit but other than that...- Does he know you?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Not in the biblical sense, no. Why, are you thinking about him for the killing?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40His alibi's good, right? Why, what's he said?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43He didn't seem to rate the Arts and Antiques Squad very much.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46In fact, he laughed out loud, didn't he?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Gerry, if you've nothing useful to contribute just button it, will you?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- I'm sorry.- That's all right.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I'll see you out.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Gentlemen.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01What was all that about? I only asked a question.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03They used to be an item.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06Interesting set-up.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Actually they're very, very good.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- They seem like nice boys. - They're appalling, but I love them.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Lucky boys.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15You never answered my last text.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I am doing. Is 7.30 too early?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- No. It isn't.- I'll see you then.
0:19:25 > 0:19:32About eight months later, not long after Jack became my new boss, I ended up telling him all about you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Nothing good, presumably?
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Jack was the best guv'nor I've ever had, bar none.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44Anyway, he listened, and then when I finished he put his arm around me and said,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47"Get over it". It was brilliant.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50And did you?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Get over it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Yes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I would undo it if I could, you know that.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01You know I never stopped regretting doing what I did.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Thinking about what a mistake it was.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I've tried to get back in touch before now.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06I know you have.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I guess timing was never my strong suit.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Well, don't beat yourself up. It takes two to tango.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Yeah, but it just takes one to cock it up, doesn't it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I never stopped thinking about you, Sandra.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I've tried, I just can't.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Where are you going?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Where do you think we're going?
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Course I know Roger.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38He used to have the stall five pitches down from me
0:20:38 > 0:20:39until he...retired.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I'm retiring myself next month.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44This game's no good any more.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Prices are a joke.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Daytime TV's killed it stone dead.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Look, all we're interested in is the day Mal Baxter died.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Now Roger said he was on his stall and you confirmed it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- Was there a problem? - Well, Roger was generally there.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05- Generally?- Look, he'd had more than his fair share of trouble.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07I was just trying to do the right thing.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08What, by making stuff up?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11He was hitting the pop big style back then.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Some days he'd turn up, other times he wouldn't. I thought he had.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I tell you one thing. When he was there,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20not a day would go by when he wouldn't curse Mal for having his big shop.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Especially in the winter.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Old Roger wasn't cut out for the outdoor life.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28When they turfed him out it was a blessing, really.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32And that's when he became an auctioneer?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Ha! Is that what he calls it? - What would you call it?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Well, let's just say the places Roger brings his hammer down
0:21:37 > 0:21:39ain't exactly Sotheby's and Christie's.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Sorry, "turfed him out"? You just said he retired.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Same difference.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Anyway, what kickstarted all this stuff about Mal Baxter?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Roger said some items went missing out of Mal's house that weren't on the official list.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- And they ended up on Bermondsey Market.- Oh, really?- With you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58No, no, no, no! That's wrong.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00With you!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Look, if you're referring to that tea chest full of stuff,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06then I thought it might have been a bit iffy,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10but not from a murder!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Roger never said that, did he?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- You made that up. - Yes, Mr Brooks, I was lying.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20But something tells me that you weren't.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21Yes, other things were taken.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- What were they?- I don't know because they were never inventoried
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and because Mal kept them out of sight.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32You say you have no idea what these other items were?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Roger Bowman seems to think you do.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37As I've explained to you, Roger Bowman hates me
0:22:37 > 0:22:40because he believes I encouraged Mal to break with him.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43The final straw for Mal.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Mal found out that Roger had tried to seduce Tony Morgan
0:22:47 > 0:22:51in the shop.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53More than once. It was embarrassing.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56You didn't think to tell the other investigation that.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Because it didn't occur to me for a second
0:22:58 > 0:23:00that Roger could have killed Mal.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02And now it does?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I'm sorry.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Look, I didn't say anything about it before because
0:23:10 > 0:23:12I didn't want to believe it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17So, a couple of months back I'm clearing out my lock-up,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19getting rid of all my old stock
0:23:19 > 0:23:20prior to jacking it in,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and I come across this old tea chest from years back.
0:23:22 > 0:23:27When I first got it I thought it might be a bit dodgy, so I held on to it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Anyway, inside there's a solid silver fob watch, a perfume bottle,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35couple of nice tiepins and a statue.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40- Statue?- Yeah, well, statuette I suppose is the correct term.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Classical piece with wings on his head and his feet.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48- Did it have a base? - Yeah, round, sort of like that.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Heavy?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yeah, bronze. Why?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Well, where did you get it from, this tea chest, originally?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Bought it off a dealer named Greg Hazlett.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03He only wanted a score for it, but that was back in '96.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05And where can we find Hazlett?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07He used to be a Brighton knocker boy.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Last I heard he was in Spain.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- So, who do you sell all this gear to? - Lennie the Lump.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Well, where can we find him?- I dunno.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Well, doesn't he have a second name?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20No, no, no. It's just Lennie the Lump. That's all I know him as.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22He runs a Nazareth.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- A Nazareth?- What the hell is that?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29A Nazareth is a secret auction,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32where the gear they're selling is predominantly hooky.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Why is it called a Nazareth? - God knows.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40- Did Wally tell this Lump that the stuff was nicked?- I think Lennie would take that as read.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42So it could be our murder weapon.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44A bronze statuette. Yeah?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Mercury. Messenger of the gods.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Hermes in Greek mythology.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53Traditionally he has a winged helmet and feet.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59There's a famous 16th century neo classical statuette of Hermes by Jam Bologna.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04It's solid gold. Worth millions.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11So, is Hazlett just another link in the chain or is he our man?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Well, at least we've got a name now and a possible murder weapon.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17And a Roger without an alibi anymore.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yeah, that's true. Anyway, I'm off.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Goodnight.- Anywhere nice?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Just find Hazlett.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- You know where she's going, don't you?- Yeah.- Well, if you ask me...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well, I don't.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Scrubs up well though.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36MOBILE RINGS
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Detective Super Intendent Pullman.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- DCI Michaels. You called? - Yes, that's right.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Is DI Larson being kept informed on the Baxter case?- Yes, he is.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Detective Inspector Larson is under surveillance.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52We'd like your assistance.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Can't imagine there are too many Greg Hazletts who deal in antiques.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Yeah, I know him. Used to be a...
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Brighton Knocker.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I love it when you talk dirty.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Got any idea where he is now?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Not off the top of my head, no.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I could call my friends in Brighton, see if they know. Why?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Well, we think he might have handled some of the stolen items.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Ah.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17That is very nice.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- You like that?- Yeah, beautiful.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Kind of goes with the territory.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Suppose it would be a bit sad
0:26:26 > 0:26:28if I didn't acquire some taste in this job.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I like to think that you've always had good taste, James.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Do you know anyone called Lennie the Lump?
0:26:38 > 0:26:42- Lennie who?- Lump?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44We think he might have bought some of the stolen stuff.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48- No, never heard of him. Excuse me. - MOBILE RINGS
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I'm going to have to take this.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Yep. Hiya.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Sorry.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Right, anything else? - Yeah, yeah, what's a Nazareth?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46It's a term in the Bible. Why?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Oh, it's just a word we've come across
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- but no-one seems to know what it means.- Oh, a Nazareth?
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Yeah that's a word for, um, it's like an illicit auction.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56We used to see them in the old days.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59They're rare now though.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Sorry I can't be more specific. - No, no.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03It's not important, I just thought I'd run it past you.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Well, I shall add it to the list.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06If I hear anything, I'll keep you in the loop.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09It's always nice to be kept in the loop.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Come on.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Esther?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Esther?
0:28:48 > 0:28:53- Esther?- What?- Are you on your own?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55What?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57What are you doing?
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I've just been getting rid of a few things on the internet on this auction sites.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Decluttering, it's called. - I thought...
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I thought you were...
0:29:07 > 0:29:08You thought I was what?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- What are you getting rid of? - All sorts of things.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Clothes that I don't want any more, jewellery that I don't wear.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22There, you see. I've got 20 bids on that, so that's £80. 80!
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Another one. It's quite exciting.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26- In the loft?- Mmm-hmm.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Since when did you store stuff in the loft?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30No, well I...
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I just went up to, erm... Just to check.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35My stuff?!
0:29:35 > 0:29:37In the loft? You mean my stuff?!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I just went up to see if there was anything that was worth it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Brian, it's jam-packed, there's mountains of stuff up there.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Nobody hoards things like you do.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49- No, they don't. - I haven't touched anything.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50I wouldn't, honestly.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51You've got no right.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53It's mine. Mine.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57And I've got no wish to be decluttered! Do you understand?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Brian, it's just a lot of old stuff up there.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Stuff that hasn't see the light of day for years!
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Stop it! No more!
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I forbid you to go anywhere near that loft!
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It's my place.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13My things. My bloody stuff!
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- Hello?- DCI Michaels?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- Speaking.- This is Detective Superintendent Pullman.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Oh, hello there.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43We know Morgan's got form and Roger Bowman's got motive,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46but where did Hazlett get the statuette ,and was it used to kill Mal?
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Gerry Standing, UCOS.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55One moment. It's for you, Guv'nor.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57DCI Larson.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06James.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Oh, great. Hang on.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Thank you. Go on.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20Great. Thanks a lot. Yes. Me too.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Bye.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Everything all right?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Greg Hazlett has an office-cum-lock-up in Hove.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Tony Morgan's just down the road in Brighton. - You think they know each other?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Well, it'd be bloody odd if they didn't.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38You two go and spend a day at the seaside. Brian, you're with me.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44What's the book, Gerry?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Oh, The Lure of Antiques.- Ha ha! You've got the bug, haven't you?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Nah, it's a bit of reference, that's all.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51You want to forget about that stuff, mate.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55This is where the money is. Dinky toys, Scalectrix, Subbuteo.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Yeah, nostalgia.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Quality antiques have to be over 100 years old.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02That's where the smart money is.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03When you're ready, Brian.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06I want to pay Roger Bowman another visit.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09What is wrong with her?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Can I help you, gents?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- Yeah. Greg Hazlett?- Allegedly.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Former Brighton knocker Greg Hazlett?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Yes, I think perhaps you can.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47The knocker was very good to me.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Way back, I bought a painting for a couple of quid from a house in Sudbury. It was covered in grime.
0:32:51 > 0:32:56I couldn't really make out what it was. Bought it for the frame as much as anything else.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00But I had a funny feeling about it so I took a punt and had it professionally cleaned up.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04Best move I ever made. Turned out to be a Matisse.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Millionaire at 26.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Hello, Malaga, here I come!
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Of course it's all gone now. Nags, Jags and WAGs,
0:33:12 > 0:33:16and what with the divorces, I'm brassic.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20- Sounds familiar. - Bet if we had a look around, we could find a few more treasures.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23Oh, I very much doubt it. So, how can I help you?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Mal Baxter.- Oh, come on. That was over years ago, surely?
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Well, before you swanned off to sunny Spain,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31you sold a tea chest to Wally Brooks.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Well, I can hardly remember last week, never mind 16 years ago.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- But it could be right.- There was a statue at the bottom of that chest.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- A bronze winged Mercury. - If you say so.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42We think it was used to kill Mal.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- You're kidding?- 'Fraid not.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47What we want to know, Greg,
0:33:47 > 0:33:50is where you were on the day Mal was killed?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53That's easy. I was with Mal's wife, Helen.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58We met up for a spot of lunch, little place I knew on the Downs.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I wanted to show her a pair of Moorcroft vases I had.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02We rattled on a bit.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07It turned out to be a long lunch really, about three hours or so. We had to get a taxi back to Brighton.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10We'd had too much of the old vino colapso. Know what I mean?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Didn't Tony Morgan drive you?
0:34:12 > 0:34:16No, no. He dropped her off, then picked her up in Brighton at the end of the day.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Your relationship with Helen Baxter.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21Was there anything else to it?
0:34:23 > 0:34:28Look, Helen was a beautiful woman but I wasn't in the toyboy game.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- But you do know Tony Morgan? - Yes, yes. Of course. We did the odd bit of business here and there.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- And Morgan's still in Brighton? - Yeah, just down the road.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Come to think of it, it was Tony that sold me that tea chest.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I haven't dumped him in it, have I?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- It's a lie.- So there's no truth in what Helen Baxter said?
0:34:45 > 0:34:46You honestly believe that witch?
0:34:46 > 0:34:49I believe Wally Brooks, and he says he actually can't be sure
0:34:49 > 0:34:54- that you were actually in Bermondsey market the day Mal Baxter died. - Poppycock!- Brian?
0:34:54 > 0:35:01When Wally told us that story, we checked to see if you had a criminal record. And, in 1997,
0:35:01 > 0:35:06Roger, you were caught committing an act of gross indecency in a public place.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07- How dare you...- Shut up and listen!
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Two years later you were caught committing exactly the same offence in the same toilets.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Stop! Stop it. Enough! - Yes, in Bermondsey.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17All right, tell us the truth. Where were you on the day Mal Baxter died?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I was in the market some of the time.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25And some of the time I was with a friend.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28In the toilets?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Has this friend got a name?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33So you still can't prove it.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Either way, it doesn't look good, does it?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39If you did proposition Tony Morgan and Mal Baxter ended your partnership as a result...
0:35:39 > 0:35:45You honestly think I killed Mal?! I've never lifted a finger to anyone in my life! It's ridiculous.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47That's not why he cast me out!
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- You really want to know the reason? - Surprise me.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Yes, I made a pass at Tony.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I was flirting with him. But it wasn't me lying naked with him
0:35:55 > 0:35:58in the storeroom in the Kings Road each and every Sunday afternoon.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Then who was it?- Ask Vivienne.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Vivienne?!- That's right.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Nice, 17-year-old, virginal Vivienne.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Why else do you think he packed her off to boarding school soon as he could?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Oh, the sheltered lives you lead.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14And you caught them?
0:36:14 > 0:36:19- I went in to do some stocktaking, and I took stock.- And you told Mal.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I didn't think it was a very healthy situation.
0:36:22 > 0:36:28Nah, you told him because you were jealous. And instead of taking it out on them, he took it out on you.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Did you ever see Tony Morgan again?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Saw him, yes, but not in that way.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Whenever I came home, Daddy ensured we were never alone together.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41What about your mother? What did she have to say?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43She never knew.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Not at all?- Even to this day.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49My father knew she'd have gone berserk.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Fire Tony at the very least. - And yet he didn't.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54He was a very honourable man, my father.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58The fact is it was my fault. And he knew it.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I seduced Tony. And he wasn't the first.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Daddy knew that too.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06Daddy admired Tony,
0:37:06 > 0:37:10what he'd done to pull himself up after where he'd come from.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13He wasn't about to send him back there for failing to resist temptation.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Just one more thing.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Have you ever heard of a man called Greg Hazlett?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22He lives in Brighton, well, Hove actually.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Just down the road from Tony Morgan.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Did Tony ever mention him?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Tony and I didn't do much talking.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Well, Tony Morgan's not at home.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38Well, there's no sign of any alarm, so presumably he keeps his goods somewhere else.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40By the time we get a warrant...
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Look at that. Signs of a forced entry.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50It's our duty to investigate.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I'll call Brighton police.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Jack?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Look at this.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20"To Titch from LS.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22"May all your hauls be this big."
0:38:22 > 0:38:24LS being Lionel Scott.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28- Yeah, that's The Magician all right. - And a very young Tony Morgan.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Titch.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Very paternal.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Wally Brooks?- No. We're closed, sorry.- Detective Superintendent Pullman, UCOS.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45What have I done now?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48You spoke to some of my colleagues about Mal Baxter.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53- Yeah.- You mentioned a bronze statuette, a Winged Mercury.- Yeah.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Except it's not bronze, Wally.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58It's solid gold. Nine carat.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Ten grand's worth, in scrap alone.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03I don't believe you.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- You're having me on.- It's true. The bronze was just a smokescreen.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08And I need you to say so.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12I want you to spread the word very quietly to the underground.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15You know, the kind of people who don't care weather it's legit or not, and no-one else.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19And one more thing - you didn't hear this from me.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Cos if my name comes up, you're going to be fishing all this stuff out of the Thames.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24Cheers, Wal.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31What did Hazlett say?
0:39:31 > 0:39:33Three hours or so?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Brighton to Barnes in a fast car? An hour ten, twenty?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Especially at that time of day.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Yeah, Morgan could easily have got back to Barnes, killed Mal,
0:39:42 > 0:39:47got what he wanted and still have got back to Brighton to pick Helen up.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Do you think Hazlett was invovled?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Tying Helen up with a boozy lunch?
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Lionel Scott was Morgan's mentor.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Mal ratted on him
0:39:58 > 0:40:01and broke up Morgan's relationship with Vivienne.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03To me, that's motive-and-a-half.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Well, either way, both Helen and Morgan lied.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12How long are you going to keep this up?
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- Keep what up?- This wounded silence.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19I haven't decided.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24All right. Brian, I'm sorry. They're not my things, they're your things.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27I was in the wrong and I'm sorry.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31Thank you.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I've made £1,220 so far.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45How much?!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Yes, yes, I do recall.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50It was a pair of William Moorcroft vases.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53I was collecting Moorcroft at the time.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55Greg Hazlett and I ended up having lunch.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Mrs Baxter, in your original statement you said that you spent
0:40:59 > 0:41:02the day in Brighton with Tony Morgan, all day.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Why did you lie?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Because Tony loved Mal.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Worshipped him.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12I know he couldn't have harmed my husband.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Tony had no reason to hurt Mal.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Mal had done everything for him. Everything.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23And your relationship with Greg Hazlett was purely professional?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26I'm sorry, how could it be otherwise?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32OK. Thank you both very much.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Mrs Baxter, I'll probably want to speak to you again at some point.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Good memory...now.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42So had Greg Hazlett.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Almost identical.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53You OK?
0:41:53 > 0:41:54What do you mean?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I mean are you sure you know what you're doing?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Completely.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Great. Thanks.
0:42:07 > 0:42:12No-one's seen hide nor hair of Tony Morgan for two days.
0:42:12 > 0:42:17That's funny because he withdrew £25,000 from his account this morning, in cash.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21Hardly enough for plastic surgery and a fresh start in Costa Rica, is it?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24No, but it might be enough to buy something else.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Brian, my office.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31This Wally Brooks. Is he dodgy?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- He's an antique dealer.- Yes, I know that, but can you trust him?
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Well, he's desperate to prove he had nothing to do with any of this stuff.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- OK. Ask him to get hold of Lennie the Lump.- What for?
0:42:42 > 0:42:43Find out when the next Nazareth is.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- Why?- Well I'm guessing that's where Morgan's taking his £25,000.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Wouldn't you want to buy your murder weapon back?
0:42:49 > 0:42:54Now, listen up. Your contribution to this investigation has been...
0:42:54 > 0:42:56How shall I put it? Crap!
0:42:56 > 0:42:59I don't know what it is that's keeping you from doing your job properly
0:42:59 > 0:43:01but it certainly isn't Esther having an affair.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- God help her, she probably should, but she isn't.- No. I know.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07Oh. Good.
0:43:07 > 0:43:12- So what was she doing? - She'd been online. Selling stuff.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Shopping, you mean?- Well...- Shopping.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Guv'nor, Wally wants to know how the hell we knew about the Nazareth.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- When and where?- Where and when, mate?
0:43:24 > 0:43:26Midnight tonight underneath the arches at Deptford.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Very cloak and dagger.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Hold on, hold on.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35Wally says, if you want, he reckons he can get one of us in with him.
0:43:35 > 0:43:39I'll go. Like you say, I've been a wallflower on this one.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Plus Morgan won't recognise me.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43OK.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45So how did you know about tonight?
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- And how can you be so sure Morgan's...- I'm not.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- So what the bloody hell are we...? - Wally's here.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03- What is he doing?- God only knows.
0:44:04 > 0:44:07Bloody hell! What you come as? A Polish tram driver?
0:44:07 > 0:44:09Camouflage.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Where's Jack?
0:44:36 > 0:44:39- Who, or should I say, what is that? - That's Lennie the Lump.
0:44:39 > 0:44:40And he's the auctioneer?
0:44:40 > 0:44:44No, no, he's the organiser, the main man. The auctioneer's there.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Roger Bowman.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48Brian!
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- Brian!- Roger! How you doing?
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Long time no see!
0:44:53 > 0:44:56One word from you about me and I'll shove that gavel
0:44:56 > 0:44:59so far up your backside you'll be brushing your bloody teeth with it.
0:44:59 > 0:45:00Hey, good to see you.
0:45:02 > 0:45:05- Guess who the auctioneer is.- Go on.
0:45:05 > 0:45:08- Have gavel will travel.- Shit!
0:45:08 > 0:45:11I had a word with him, I think he's got the message.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13Hold up, he's here!
0:45:13 > 0:45:15Morgan's just walked in.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18- Well, come on then.- No, Jack's not here. We've still got time.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Right, gentleman.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24Let's get the proceedings underway.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26We have a very valuable and unique item for you tonight...
0:45:26 > 0:45:29- Guv'nor, Hazlett's in!- Hazlett?
0:45:29 > 0:45:33What's Hazlett doing here? I thought Morgan was our man.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37A very charming statue of Mercury. Seemingly bronze but actually nine carat gold.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- Somewhat obscure provinence but I expect that wont be too much of a consideration.- Guv, it's gold.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Gold? What's going on?
0:45:44 > 0:45:47It would make a lovely present for the trouble and strife.
0:45:47 > 0:45:49A lot of enquiries, a lot of interest.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Even one or two phone bids, I believe?
0:45:52 > 0:45:56Worth ten grand in scrap alone, so shall we start there?
0:45:56 > 0:45:57- Ten grand anyone?- We're off.
0:45:57 > 0:45:59No?, OK, how about nine?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Who'll offer me nine...
0:46:01 > 0:46:03£9,000 on the left. Do I hear ten?
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- Ten.- 10,000 at the back. - That was Hazlett bidding.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09Do I hear 11? Can you give me 11?
0:46:11 > 0:46:1412,000 on my left. 13,000, how about 13,000?
0:46:14 > 0:46:1613,000 at the front, thank you sir.
0:46:16 > 0:46:1914. How about £14,000?
0:46:19 > 0:46:22Where have you been, Jack?
0:46:22 > 0:46:26- Doing a little checking on Greg Hazlett.- £15,000? Thank you, sir.
0:46:26 > 0:46:2916? Do I hear £16,000?
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- 16.- 'That's Morgan.'
0:46:32 > 0:46:34- 17? Do I hear 18?- £18,000.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38- 'That's Hazlett.' - Hazlett the bankrupt?
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Cash rich, this mob, aren't they?
0:46:40 > 0:46:44- He doesn't even own his flat. - Ssh! Ssh!- Helen Baxter does.
0:46:44 > 0:46:45Business relationship!
0:46:49 > 0:46:52- £25,000.- 25. I have 25.
0:46:52 > 0:46:56- 'Morgan again.' - Any advance on £25,000?- 26,000.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00- 'Hazlett and Morgan are desperate for it.' - 26. I'm hearing 26,000. Once.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02- Twice...- 35!
0:47:02 > 0:47:0635. I have a phone bid for £35,000.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Once.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Twice.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Gone! 35000 - a phone bidder.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Thank you, Leonard.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18What's going on?
0:47:20 > 0:47:26- Lennie the Lump's leaving with the statue in a bag.- That's him there.
0:47:31 > 0:47:34You'd better be quick. Morgan's heading for his car.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38Brian, get into the van with Wally, will you.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40What you doing?!
0:47:40 > 0:47:42What the bloody hell's going on?
0:47:42 > 0:47:45All Gold Units our man is clear.
0:47:52 > 0:47:54- What are you doing? - We're following the statue.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59Brian, make sure they arrest Morgan and Hazlett.
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Police! Stay where you are!
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Police! Stay where you are! Against the wall!
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Far be it for me to question your decisions, Sandra,
0:48:37 > 0:48:42- but would you care to enlighten me as to what the...? - Any moment now.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Central 550 from Gold. Go, go, go!
0:48:52 > 0:48:55SIRENS WAIL
0:48:56 > 0:48:59Stop! Don't move!
0:49:04 > 0:49:06Come on!
0:49:06 > 0:49:07What's your name, sir?
0:49:07 > 0:49:09DCI Larson.
0:49:09 > 0:49:10Mr Larson, hand me the package.
0:49:12 > 0:49:16- Follow me, sir. - Well, that is interesting.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31Sorry, James. Nothing personal.
0:49:33 > 0:49:38James Larson, I'm arresting you on suspicion of handling stolen goods.
0:49:38 > 0:49:43When did you first become aware of the statuette's existence, Detective Chief Inspector?
0:49:43 > 0:49:46When I discovered the file relating to the murder of Mal Baxter.
0:49:46 > 0:49:50It had long been rumored that Lionel Scott was responsible
0:49:50 > 0:49:52for the original theft of the Winged Mercury.
0:49:52 > 0:49:55Putting him and Baxter together seemed like common sense.
0:49:55 > 0:50:00Might I ask Detective Superintendent Pullman the same question?
0:50:00 > 0:50:04I saw a photo of the original, in gold, in one of your files.
0:50:04 > 0:50:06Like I said,
0:50:06 > 0:50:09you always were a better copper than me.
0:50:10 > 0:50:11How much did you expect to raise?
0:50:11 > 0:50:14You don't have to answer that.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17That's OK.
0:50:17 > 0:50:21While in no way admitting my actions were for personal gain,
0:50:21 > 0:50:24I would happily state that the object's true worth
0:50:24 > 0:50:28runs at a conservative estimate to quite a lot.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32It's insured for £20 million and I suspect that the insurers
0:50:32 > 0:50:36would be quite happy to shell out a quarter of that for its safe return.
0:50:36 > 0:50:40Well, what I would say is you have your result.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Both the legal owners and their insurers inform us that they have
0:50:44 > 0:50:47had no contact from you or your squad concerning the piece.
0:50:47 > 0:50:51Well, one doesn't broadcast one's initiatives, as I'm sure you understand.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59Interview suspended at 10:30am.
0:51:05 > 0:51:09Be interesting to see how you're going to make this one stick.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12I mean, given our close relationship these past few weeks.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15What relationship?
0:51:15 > 0:51:20- Sandra... - James, things obviously haven't turned out the way you'd hoped.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22All I can say is get over it.
0:51:28 > 0:51:33According to Tony Morgan, Lionel Scott was always on the lookout for someone small enough
0:51:33 > 0:51:38- to get in and out of air vents and rubbish chutes and what have you. - So where does Mal fit in?
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Well, by the time Morgan was 16, he'd outgrown his usefulness,
0:51:41 > 0:51:43so Lionel passed him onto Mal.
0:51:43 > 0:51:47Morgan says that Scott knew it was Mal who grassed him up, but he just shrugged it off as part of the game.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- So where was Morgan on the day Mal died?- Fishing.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52But then he heard that statue was for sale,
0:51:52 > 0:51:55he remembered Scott nicking it and thought he'd make a killing.
0:52:03 > 0:52:04Not happy.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12- Do you recognise this?- No.
0:52:12 > 0:52:16It was stolen from a private house in Belgravia in 1987,
0:52:16 > 0:52:20possibly by Lionel Scott, who then gave it to Mal to sell on.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Except you wanted to keep it.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25Rumours that he had the statue began to spread.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Mal wanted to sell, but you wouldn't let it go.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30I knew nothing about this.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32Really?
0:52:32 > 0:52:35But you did just happen to know Greg Hazlett.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38You conspired with him to rob Mal.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Of course Hazlett didn't know the the true value of the statue.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44His reward was to be the rest of Mal's illicit hoard of antiques.
0:52:44 > 0:52:45This is nonsense.
0:52:49 > 0:52:54Mal gave you gifts, didn't he? Precious pieces for your collection.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57But from what I hear, they weren't enough to satisfy you.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00It wasn't the only way he failed to satisfy you, according to Greg.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03Greg did not say that!
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- He still lives rent free in a flat that you own.- What?! - This is disgusting.
0:53:06 > 0:53:10No - getting your lover to kill your husband, that's disgusting.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12- Mum?!- I'm not listening to this.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15Your idea was you get the house, the statue, everything.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17- Mum! Mum, talk to me.- You're wrong.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20You're completely wrong.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22It wasn't anything like that.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25Fine. Then what's the official version?
0:53:32 > 0:53:34It was a mistake.
0:53:37 > 0:53:39It was just a...
0:53:39 > 0:53:42dreadful,
0:53:42 > 0:53:44terrible mistake.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48I couldn't just take the statue, Mal would have known.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51I needed an alibi.
0:53:51 > 0:53:55So, I had Greg stage the burglary.
0:53:55 > 0:53:59Mal was supposed to be away on business.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03I don't know why he didn't go.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06He wasn't supposed to be there.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11When Mal came in,
0:54:11 > 0:54:14he saw Greg,
0:54:14 > 0:54:17and Greg and he started arguing.
0:54:17 > 0:54:20Greg didn't know what to do.
0:54:20 > 0:54:21He, um...
0:54:23 > 0:54:26He just...
0:54:26 > 0:54:28picked up the statue.
0:54:32 > 0:54:33He should have thrown it away,
0:54:36 > 0:54:39but he sold it.
0:54:39 > 0:54:44And now it's come back to haunt us again.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46And yes, yes, yes, I did.
0:54:46 > 0:54:53I gave him the money so it could be disposed of once and for all.
0:54:53 > 0:54:59I don't want it. I don't want any of it.
0:55:05 > 0:55:06Vivienne.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09No, don't go. Please!
0:55:10 > 0:55:14Hazlett had no idea how much the statue was worth.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17So when he got rid of it, he thought it would just disappear into the underworld.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Then, when it turned up again...
0:55:19 > 0:55:24When he found that out, he had to get hold of it again, bidding for it with Helen Baxter's money.
0:55:24 > 0:55:26But neither Hazlett nor Morgan
0:55:26 > 0:55:29knew there was a £5 million insurance reward.
0:55:29 > 0:55:33So, DCI Larson, eh, who would have thought it?
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Except you, of course.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37How long before you sussed him out?
0:55:37 > 0:55:40Pretty quick. That's when I got Professional Standards on board.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42Yeah, well I still think you could have let us in on it.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44I didn't want to compromise you.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47If anything had gone wrong, I didn't want him to suspect anything.
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Yeah, well, I'm still not happy.
0:55:53 > 0:55:5575 quid, he paid.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57- What!- Yeah 120 for the lot.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Lucky if it's worth a tenner.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17THUMPING
0:56:26 > 0:56:29You could have killed me!
0:56:29 > 0:56:32Sorry, love.
0:56:32 > 0:56:34- What are you doing?- Hang on.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37Yes! Got it! I thought we had one of these.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39One what?
0:56:39 > 0:56:43An original gold James Bond Aston Martin DB5.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46In the original box! Do you know much these are going for?
0:56:46 > 0:56:50I thought you wanted to keep everything.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52You told me not to touch anything.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55You told me that I wasn't to get rid of any of your stuff.
0:56:55 > 0:56:58This isn't any of my stuff.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00This is Mark's.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27- This seat taken?- It is now.
0:57:29 > 0:57:32What you drinking?
0:57:32 > 0:57:33A lot.
0:57:33 > 0:57:37I know how you feel. White wine and a large scotch, please.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47Gerry thought you'd lost it.
0:57:47 > 0:57:50- You lost...- As if.
0:57:50 > 0:57:54I told him, Sandra's no fool.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57She knows how far to go.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02I always said you'd go far.
