Just because we're paranoid, doesn't- This is not about football, | :01:26. | :01:30. | |

They mean cuts. I think efficiencies is the favoured term of the moment. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Nothing to do with us. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Gerry and Brian seem to think that UCOS is in the firing line. I doubt it. | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Well, it is possible. Oh, anything's possible, Gerry. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
There should be a call for direct action, the withdrawal of labour. Police officers can't strike, Brian. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Well, we're not officially police officers. | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Exactly. We've got to decide what to do. I've got an idea. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
What's that? | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Why don't we stop worrying about things that might never happen and just get on with our job? | :01:57. | :02:01. | |

March 5th, 2004, 6.10pm | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
A body was found in a west London alleyway. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The death was caused by a blunt force trauma | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
to the head, consistent with a fight and a fall. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
The victim was a white male, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
aged between 20 to 30 years. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
And that's pretty much as far as they got. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
Am I boring you, Brian? | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
Sorry, no, not at all, I'm just a bit tired. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
No ID, no wallet. | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
That sounds like a robbery to me. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Yeah, except he was still wearing a fairly expensive watch. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
They checked missing persons? | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
They couldn't find a match and no-one came forward to identify- the victim. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
However, more recently it's featured as one of 70 or so | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
cases on a website called "Not ever..." | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Not ever forgotten? Yes. Do you know it? | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Yeah, it's part of a global network. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
They harness the power of the internet to help solve | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
unexplained disappearances, unsolved cases. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
That's all you need, a bunch of amateurs playing detective. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
So what exactly did we get from this website? | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
According to one of its users, our victim is called Christopher Collins. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
So, if they're right, we've got a name. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
I love true crime, I always take a pile of books on holiday with me. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
It's fascinating what people do but horrible as well. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Well, we know what people do. Yes, of course, you must see some things. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
How long did Collins work here, Mrs Carlisle? | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
Lisa, please. | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
About six months. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
The exact dates are down there. | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
The last day we saw him was the March 5th. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
That was the day he died. And what exactly did he do here? | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
He was a mechanic, I didn't see much of him. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
I work in the office, I don't spend- much time in the garage. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Too much testosterone? | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Yes, and the calendars on every wall. | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Is there anybody who would have known him better than you? You should speak to my husband. | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
John owns this place. Ah... Do you want to come with me? | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
John. | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
Certainly knew his way around an engine, I do remember that. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
So you must have been sad to see him- go then. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
A mechanic has a transferable skill, they can usually find work if they want to move on. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
And did Collins ever give any indication that he was going to move on? | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
I don't think so. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Did he ever mention if he had any problems or he was worried about anything? | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
I don't mean to sound harsh but I run a business here, not a counselling service. | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
What about before he came here, have you any idea where he lived or where he worked? | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
I really can't tell you. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
You didn't ask for references? | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
I asked him to strip a gear box down and then put it back together again. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
That's all I needed to know. Fair enough. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
The problem is we need to find a member of his family | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
so at least they can claim the body. | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
What happened to his body? | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
Victims who aren't identified simply end up in a local unmarked grave. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
So anything else you can tell us would be helpful. | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Well, you ought to talk to one of our mechanics, Jason. | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Jason Hibbert. He was here when Collins was so he probably knew him best. | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Where can we find him? | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
Well, he's, er, he's picking up an S class in Maidenhead at the moment. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Be back this afternoon. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Who found the body? | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Brian? | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
Yeah? | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Who found the body? | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
Er, an Alice West. | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
She worked at a hotel called the Maybrooke... | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
HE YAWNS | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
.. That backed on to the alley where he was found. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
What is it, Brian, too many late nights? | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
I'm just not sleeping properly, it's driving me mad. | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
And Esther. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
I keep moving around and waking her up. | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Take a pill? | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
No, I'm not taking any more drugs, I need to stay sharp. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Anyway, you never know what the side effects might be. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
I usually find that a glass of hot milk works for me, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
but you need to put a little honey in it. | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
Or a handful of sesame and sunflower seeds. That always helps. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Any more suggestions? | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Warm clothes. | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
See, what does that even mean? | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Straight out of the tumble dryer. | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Or you can bung a few things in themicrowave for a couple of minutes. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
And what do you do with the warm clothes? | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Just put them all over you, sort of snuggle up. | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Well, I don't know why but it seems to work for me. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Now we've dealt with Brian's insomnia can we move on? | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Well, we know Collins wasn't staying at the hotel, the original team checked that. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
We've got a list of the guests here- and his name's definitely not on it. | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
Did Alice West see anybody else at the scene of the crime? | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
No, but she saw a car parked in the alley. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
He was still breathing so she went in to phone for an ambulance. | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
When she came back again, car was gone. | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
She didn't get a good look at the driver and even her description | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
of the vehicle was vague, so not good enough to trace it. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
And nobody else came forward with any information. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Why don't you and Brian go to the hotel and see | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
if this Alice West's still working there? | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
Alice. | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
I only went outside to have a quick fag. I don't do that any more, I've given up now. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Good for you. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Wish it wasn't me who found him. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
I weren't even on a break, I was waiting for a guy in the restaurant | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
to leave his table so I could reset it, kept ordering more coffee. | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
He was sat over there. He must have had five cups. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
I just thought I'd have a couple of puffs, get back but I didn't | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
even get to light it because | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
as soon as I got outside that's when I saw... | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
Mr Collins. | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
I didn't know that were his name, not until you just told me. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
I knew he were hurt though. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
He had blood coming from his nose and he were making this noise, | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
a horrible noise, like a wounded animal. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
So I ran inside, told Maureen, to call an ambulance | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
and then I went back outside again. | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
I were only gone a minute but... | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
He weren't making any noise any more, | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
just lying there. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Perhaps you could show us where exactly. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
It's just this way. Sorry about the bags. | :08:32. | :08:42. | |
:08:42. | :08:45. | ||
He was over here, lying on his back, | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
his head sort of twisted you know, looking over in this direction. | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
I could see right into his eyes, | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
as if he was pleading, help me, help me, it were... | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
It was... | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
I really don't want to think about it. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
What about the car you saw? | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
That was parked up against the wall,- by the end there. | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
And you were stood there? Yeah. | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
And you say you didn't get a good look at the driver? No, at least maybe... | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
I don't know. | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
I know I don't remember what they looked like though. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
OK. Let's get back to the car. You told the first detectives it was probably blue. | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
Dark blue or maybe black. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
Like I said at the time, it could have been an estate | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
or one of those off road thingy's.I don't really know much about cars. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
The truth is I weren't reallylooking at the car or who was in it. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
I were looking at him. | :09:40. | :09:48. | |
Jason. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Jason! | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Detective Superintendent Pullman and Gerry Standing. | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
I'll leave you to it, OK? | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
That's fine. Thank you. Thank you. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
We'd like to talk to you about Christopher Collins. | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Yeah, John explained. I suppose you know about my record. | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
Yeah, one conviction for assault. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
15 years ago. And the boss knows about it too. No, that's not what we're here to talk about. | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
But he said that you knew Collins best. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
I suppose that's true, I wouldn't say we were that close though. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
What about outside of work? | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
We had the odd drink, I went to his flat a few times. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Sounds like you saw a lot of each other. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Off and on really. | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
The problem was I was married and he definitely wasn't, if you know what I mean. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
What, he was gay? Far from it. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Oh, he liked the ladies? | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
And they liked him too. He looked the part and he was a nice guy. | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Anyone in particular? No, I don't think so. | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
I think that was the point really. Did he live with anyone? | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
No, all on his own in a council place. | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
Nice though. Three bedrooms, balcony. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
What about at work, did you notice him having any problems? | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
No, nothing like that. The boss is a decent guy and everyone just gets- on with the job. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Yeah, but what about when he disappeared, | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
didn't you think it was odd that he just dropped out of sight? | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
I suppose I should have at the time- but I didn't really... | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
He gave me the impression he had other things going on. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
What sort of other things? | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
He never said, and I never pushed him. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
When he left I just figured that whatever it was had come in. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Something back in Basingstoke probably. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
Why Basingstoke? | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
That's where he came from, at least- I think that's what he told me. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Of course, if there's anything else- we can do... | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
John, I've got Mark Tanner on the phone. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
I'm sorry, I've got to take this. Thanks for all your help, Mr Carlisle. | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Well, I've got three ex wives, I can't imagine working with any of them. | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Maybe that's where you went wrong, Gerry. Yeah, maybe. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
So Collins worked here for six months | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
and nobody seems to know anything about him. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
We do know one thing though, we know he was lucky. | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
How do you work that out? | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
How else does a single man get a three bedroom council flat? | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Yeah. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
I can't find any trace of Collins in Basingstoke. Me neither. | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Not where he worked, where he lived.- Nothing. | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
What about bank details? His wages were paid into a local branch in Slough. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
The account was only opened six months before he died. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
About the same time he started at the garage? Looks like it. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
It's like he just appeared one day out of nowhere. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Sounds like he's hiding from somebody. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Except then you throw in the three bedroom council flat, | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
which he couldn't have got without help. | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
It sounds more like somebody was hiding him. | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
I'll make some calls in the morning- to confirm it. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
What would you do if they do close us down? | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
They've got to make cuts somewhere.- They might treat us as an easy target. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
With our track record. They wouldn't dare. | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
It doesn't matter to me but you might find yourself in a very awkward situation. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
What would you do? I haven't thought about it, Jack. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
It's about time you did. | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
They could shove you into the nearest vacancy. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
You could end up anywhere. Talk to Strickland. | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
Put a few feelers out. | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
See if there's anything you haven't been told. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
OK. | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
Oh, I'm sure there's nothing in it.- They'd tell you all if there was. | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
Oh, don't be naive, we'd be the last people to find out. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Well, worrying about UCOS isn't going to help you with getting to sleep. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
I wish you'd at least consider my suggestion. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
I have considered it. | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
Mary Blyth hasn't had a single cigarette since she finished | :13:36. | :13:39. | |

He's a highly qualified therapist. | :13:50. | :13:53. | |

Well, we've got to do something. We can't go on like this. | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
Yeah, I'm working on it. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
You've already tried the hot milk. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
No, the honey's the important bit. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
The natural sugars stimulate serotonin and induce a calm and peaceful state. | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
Are you thinking about feeding the birds as well? | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
These are sesame and sunflower seeds | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
They're both excellent sources of magnesium which has proved to | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
be a muscle relaxant. | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
And you're calling him a quack. | :14:27. | :14:33. | |

Morning. | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Who the hell is Thomas Barton? | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
The real name of our victim. We were right, he was being hidden. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
He was in the witness protection program. Uh! | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
And nobody noticed he'd gone missing? | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Apparently not. Who was he giving evidence against? | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
A gang of six, led by Derek Robinson | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Robinson? | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
Smiley Robinson. | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
Was that 2003... He got a 25 year stretch for drug smuggling. | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
Yeah, it took a nine month sting to even put him | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
in the same place as the coke. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
He had a team at Felixstowe docks to get stuff through customs. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
And that's where Barton he worked as the mechanic down there, servicing the machinery. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
And was he in Robinson's operation? | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Well, not according to the report. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
He was just an ordinary guy who decided to do the right thing. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
And look where that got him. | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
As I made clear on the phone, this all happened well before my time here. | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
The witness protection unit is now a well oiled machine. | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
We understand you didn't have any contact with Barton. | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
We'd like to speak to his handler. | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
That's not possible, I'm afraid. Barton was dealt with by a DS called Andrew Hughes | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
but Hughes no longer works for us. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
So what can you tell us then? | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
Whatever's in his file. | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Just tell me where you'd like to start. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
As a protected witness, Barton should have been flagged. I agree... | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
If the investigation had known his identity they might have made progress. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
I can appreciate... So why wasn't he flagged? | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
I'm sure you can understand anything connected with this office is a delicate matter. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
It's a murder investigation, DI Hornby. | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Delicate doesn't come in to it. | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
From what I can gather, there was a period in late 2003 | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
when concerns were raised about information integrity. | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Information integrity? What the hell is that? | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
I think he's trying to tell us that they had a leak. Uh. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
HE CACKLES | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
What? | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
Well, according to this,the jury had to be sent out of court | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
because Robinson started singing in the dock. | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Singing? Yeah, while Barton was giving evidence against him, | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
Robinson burst in to a well known Vera Lynn classic. | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Don't tell me. We'll Meet Again? Yeah. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
It's all right, Gerry. I get the picture. | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
Things have tightened up considerably since then. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
A horse and a stable door... What made the department think there was a leak? | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
To my predecessor's shame the identities of witnesses | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
from various cases were compromised. | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Sounds more probable than possible to me. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
These people are meant to be protected. | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
They risk their lives by giving evidence | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
and then you don't even notice when one of them disappears! | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
Barton slipped through a crack - it's regrettable but I wasn't personally involved. | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Yes, you've made that crystal clear. | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
I do know however that there was a full investigation and nothing was ever proven. | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
So how far did this investigation get? | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
Each member of our staff was assessed, our systems were overhauled, | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
every facet of our operation was dissected. | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
I can assure you that it was a very thorough job. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
He wouldn't know a thorough job if it bit him on the bum. | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
Yeah, but if there was a leak it would explain how Barton was found. | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
Is it possible that Hughes could be the source? | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
If they'd had any evidence they'd of charged him. | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Even if he wasn't, he might be able to tell us what was actually going on. | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Like if Barton was having problems.- I mean if he knew someone had found him, | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
he might have gone to Hughes for help. | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Well, of course we do know who'd have been looking for him. | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
:19:49. | :19:58. | ||
Who? | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
I'm not here to mess around, Mr Robinson. | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
How disappointing. | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
When I started out that's all female- coppers were there for. | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
That and to make the tea. | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
How times have changed. | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
Well, not for the better. | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Back then we all knew where we stood. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
Tell us about Thomas Barton. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
That name does sound familiar. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
If you don't want to answer then I'll just have to assume you were involved in his murder. | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
I'll take that as yes, then. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
We're leaving. No, don't go. | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
I mean we haven't got to know each other properly yet. | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
I enjoy a bit of company, | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
especially when it's wearing a skirt. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
I don't get out as much as I'd like. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Should be used to that by now. You never get used to it. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
My kids are growing up, | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
my wife is getting old. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
My whole life is passing me by. | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Rumour is you're still running your own business. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Yeah, well you don't want to believe everything you hear. What about what we read? | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
I'm going to need a bit more than that to go on. | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
I had a look at the case files and I particularly enjoyed | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
the description of you serenading Barton in the witness box. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
I've got quite a voice when I get warmed up. | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
Mostly the classics, you know, Sinatra, Bacharach, | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
a little bit of Matt Monro. | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
Course you had to be there to get the full effect. | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
I think we got the gist of it. | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
Look, you wanted Barton dead for what he did | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
and you were going to make sure you found him again. | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
Thomas Barton? | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Yeah, it turns out that that was actually his real name. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
He was relocated as part of the witness protection scheme. | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
Did he ever seem nervous to any of you? | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Like he was worried about something? | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Did I say something funny? | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
No, it's just he really wasn't the nervous type, that's all. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
I mean the guy had front, you know,- whatever he was doing. | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Did anyone ever come here looking for him? | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
No, no, nothing like that. | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Mr Carlisle? | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Ah, well, it wasn't that exactly, it's, it's probably nothing. | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
Why don't you tell us anyway? | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Well, he did ask about a client he'd seen in the office once, wanted to know the guy's name. | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
And who was this client? | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
I can't remember. Anyway after I had told him... | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Collins, Barton, sorry getting confused. | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Uh... Well, he seemed OK again. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
But you think he mistook the client for someone else? | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Well, that's what it seemed like, yeah. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
You still pull all the strings, Mr Robinson, | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
and even banged up in here you've got a long reach. | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Well, that's very sweet | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
but I think you're giving me a little too much credit. | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
But you don't deny you wanted Barton dead? | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
There wouldn't be much point in that now would there? | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
Oh, well we must have got it wrong. | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
You're actually a reformed character. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
I've seen the error of my ways, I've repented, made peace with the world. | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
You think you've got away with it but you are so wrong. | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
Don't tell me what I think. | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
In here I'm told when to eat, when to sleep and when to crap. | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
But the one thing nobody can tell me is what I think. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
Yeah, yeah, I think I wanted Barton dead. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
But, then, I think we don't always get what we want, do we, Detective Superintendent? | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
Not always but every now and then. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
I wasn't the only one that Barton put away. | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
If that's an accusation you have to be more specific. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
That's not an accusation, that's just a fact. | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
You know Barton's evidence put six men inside. | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
Only one of them was out of prisonwhen he was killed, Anthony Walters. | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
He was one of the drivers on Robinson's crew. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Now he only served 18 months. | :24:07. | :24:17. | |
:24:17. | :24:26. | ||
Sorry lads, not tonight. | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
Your name Anthony Walters? | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
It doesn't matter who gave you my name, I can't let you in. | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Not even with this? | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Two minutes, Al. | :24:37. | :24:47. | |
:24:47. | :24:56. | ||
You're wasting your time, I've got nothing to say about Barton. | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
Not even a bad word or two? | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
After all it was his evidence that put you inside. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
That was a long time ago, I moved down here to put it behind me. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
I've got a new life. Yeah, I can see that. | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
It must have been tough getting your SIA licence with a serious conviction on your record. | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
You do have your SIA licence don't you, Anthony? | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
I've got a little boy now, I'm trying to earn a living here. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
We'll take that as a "no", shall we? | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
The bad news is that working the doors without a licence is illegal, | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
the good news is thatit's not really our area of interest. | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
Unless, of course, we decide to become interested. | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
I'm not surprised someone killed Barton, there was a long list of people that wanted him dead. | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
From what we hear, you were pretty near the top of that list. | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
I wasn't on it at all. I never saw him again after the trial. | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
But you must have been angry. Why? | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
I could've got off, I chose not to.- How do you mean? | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
You were offered a deal to testify? | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
You lot were desperate to put Robinson away, that's all that mattered. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
I was told to think about it, I For a minute... | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
If you'd said "yes", you could have avoided going inside. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
I did 18 months. | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
If I'd given evidence against Robinson it would be like doing a life sentence. | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Every night I'd be checking the locks, looking over my shoulder. | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
I didn't want to live like that so I kept my mouth shut. | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
Unlike Barton. That was his choice. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
Hughes left his jobat Witness Protection in April 2004, | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
that's a month after Barton was killed. Where did he go? | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
He's dropped through the grid, there's no record of him getting another job. | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
The address they gave me was years out of date but I tracked him down through the electoral role. | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
I'll get my bag. | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
Is now a good time, Sandra? | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
We were just leaving. I'll come back. | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
No, it's all right. Come in to my office. OK. | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
I'll wait, then. | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
I know it sounds ridiculous but I thought I'd ask anyway. | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
Does sound ridiculous, doesn't it? | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Not entirely, I'm afraid. | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
You mean UCOS is under threat? Everything's under threat. | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
Half the force spends more time looking for savings than it does criminals. | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
The other half is worried about being forced into early retirement. | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
I think Spain will become so popular they'll have to rename it Costa del Cop. | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
I'll try to remember and avoid that. | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
Some units might disappear, others will just have to cut their cloth according to what's available. | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
You mean lose personnel? Possibly. | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
If that's judged to be the best use of resources. I'd find that totally unacceptable. | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
This is a macro issue Sandra, not a micro one. | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
I hate to admit it but this goes far higher than me, higher than the person above me. | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
Can't you find out if we're being talked about? | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
I'll twist some arms, see what I can pick up. | :28:01. | :28:11. | |
:28:11. | :28:22. | ||
He's certainly done all right for himself. | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Especially for a man with no visible means of support. Yeah. | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
Excuse me. Can I help you? | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
Andrew Hughes? Yeah. | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
Are you sure I can't get you anything? Coffee, tea, soft drink? | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
No, I'm fine. No, not for me, thanks. | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
Do you like it? | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
Well, to be quite honest, I don't really know. | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
I suppose that makes it thought provoking at least. | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
What do you think? | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
I think it looks expensive. | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
Oh, it was. One of those things I just had to have. | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
Just like this house I suppose and all those cars outside. | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
I thought you wanted to talk to me about Thomas Barton. We do. Barton's dead. | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
I didn't know. What happened? He was murdered by somebody he gave evidence against. | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
The question is, how did they find him? | :29:16. | :29:17. | |
And that information would be worth- an awful lot of money. | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
You think I was paid for information? You think that's where- all this comes from? | :29:22. | :29:28. | |
You don't work, Mr Hughes, as far as we can tell. So that's one possibility, yeah. | :29:28. | :29:38. | |
:29:38. | :29:39. | ||
What am I looking at? | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
The other possibility. | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
My wife, Vicky. | :29:44. | :29:45. | |
Woah. This is really nice. | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
Vicky is a Riley, as in Riley's Auction House. | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
She runs it now that her father's retired. | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
And you just stay at home? Well, I look after the kids. | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
It's not that unusual. | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
Take us back to witness protection, Mr Hughes. Thank you. | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
I did my job, I did everything I could. | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
But you didn't notice that Barton was missing. | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
We couldn't baby-sit people 24/7 - there wasn't the resources. | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
It's not like in the movies, there's no big house or armed guards. | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
But we heard there was a suspected leak. | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
There's always a suspected leak, it's the kind of place it is. | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
What, security conscious? | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
Paranoid. | :30:26. | :30:27. | |
I'm sure that can be a useful quality in this line of work | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
but in this instance it went too far. There was never any leak. | :30:30. | :30:35. | |
People just got careless. | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
Some people can leave their old lives behind and others can't. | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
The isolation gets to them, so they- try to make contact with someone. | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
An old friend or member of the family and once that happens, all bets are off. | :30:45. | :30:52. | |
Yeah, but we know that Barton didn't have any close family. | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
That's not strictly true, he had a half brother, | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
living in Canada, I think. | :30:58. | :30:59. | |
No, with Barton it wouldn't have been a person he missed, | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
more a way of life. | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
What as a mechanic at the docks? | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
As a criminal. | :31:05. | :31:06. | |
What do you mean? | :31:06. | :31:07. | |
Importing drugs. | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
I don't understand, we were led to believe he wasn't involved. | :31:09. | :31:13. | |
Oh, he was involved. | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
Why isn't it mentioned in the files? | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
Because it's against CPS policy to do a deal that involves no jail time. | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
And Barton wouldn't have talked if it meant spending one night inside. | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
I'm not saying he was top of the food chain but he was halfway up. | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
He was climbing and ambitious. Just look at his relationship with Robinson's daughter. | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
Robinson's daughter? | :31:35. | :31:38. | |
Caroline, the apple of her father's eye. | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
They were an item. | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
There was a rumour that they were going to get married. | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
He would have ended up criminal royalty. | :31:45. | :31:47. | |
Instead of working in a garage in Slough. | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
That's certainly not the life he would have wanted. | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
Maybe this is what I should do. What? | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
If UCOS gets cut, you know? | :31:56. | :31:58. | |
You mean find a rich woman to keep you in a style to which you are not accustomed? | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
What's so funny about that? | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
Nothing, Gerry. You're a real catch.- Now get in. | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
You know, I'm sure it's just a phase, | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
I'll be through it any time now. | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
Probably tonight. | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
I'm already feeling a bit tired, now I think about it. | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
DOOR OPENS | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
Brian Lane. | :32:24. | :32:32. | |
Either you go through that door oryou're sleeping on the sofa tonight. | :32:32. | :32:37. | |
I'll slip a disc if I sleep on that sofa. | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
Well, it's your choice. | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
This way please. | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
Before we start, I want to make one thing very clear. | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
Whatever happens, I'm not shutting me eyes. | :32:49. | :32:59. | |
:32:59. | :33:00. | ||
Hypnotherapy comes in many different guises Mr Lane, | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
what I'd like to do first - is get you to relax. | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
That's easier said than done. | :33:08. | :33:10. | |
Well, let's give it a try anyway. | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
How did you come here today? | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
What's that got to do with anything? | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
I'm just making conversation. | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
I came on a bus, but, unusually, it was an orange bus, | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
I'd never seen one before. | :33:24. | :33:25. | |
An orange bus? That's right. | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
But I don't want you to think about that, that's not important. | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
We could start with breathing exercises. | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
Me breathing's fine. I'm sure it is, | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
but if you could just follow me. So... | :33:37. | :33:39. | |
inhale and exhale, | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
inhale and exhale... | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
And as you exhale, the muscles in your chest relax. | :33:47. | :33:51. | |
And what we're going to do is hitch a ride on that natural moment of relaxation. | :33:51. | :33:56. | |
Inhale and exhale... | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
What are you thinking about? | :34:01. | :34:06. | |
What's going through your mind? | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
Well, if you must know, it's that bloody orange bus. | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
And that's because I told you not to. | :34:12. | :34:13. | |
Can't get it out me head. | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
It's the same principle when you're trying to sleep. | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
You're telling yourself to do something | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
and that has the knock on effect of it becoming the last thing you can actually do. | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
So, inhale and exhale. | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
Inhale and exhale... | :34:29. | :34:39. | |
:34:39. | :34:54. | ||
I spoke to my father, I wondered how long it would take you. | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
Detective Superintendent Pullman, this is Gerry Standing. | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
One thing he taught me was to recognise a copper. | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
What else did he teach you? | :35:03. | :35:05. | |
Not to speak to them either. | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
But I decided to ignore that lesson. | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
We understand that you were close to Thomas Barton. | :35:13. | :35:17. | |
If I'd have married Tommie, I'd have made my bed. | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
I know I had a lucky escape. | :35:20. | :35:22. | |
Well, it must have made you really angry. | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
I mean, the man you were in love with betraying your father? | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
My father understood the game, he'd played it his whole life. | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
And I didn't love Tommie, it wouldn't have lasted. | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
I always knew Tommie was selfish, everything was always about him, about what he wanted. | :35:36. | :35:41. | |
And he had the charm to get away with that... For a while at least. | :35:41. | :35:46. | |
When did you last see him? | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
About a couple of hours before my father was arrested. | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
Tommie knew exactly what was about to happen, | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
but he asked me where I'd like to have dinner, | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
he didn't even miss a beat. | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
And you've never had any contact since? | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
No, of course not. | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
I certainly didn't go looking for him and he never came looking for me. | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
Would you have told your father if he had? | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
You mean, would I have asked my father to kill him? If you like. | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
You want to know if I was angry. | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
Well, the truth is I wasn't. I didn't care enough about Tommie to be angry. | :36:16. | :36:23. | |
Does that answer your question? | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
Orange buses and explaining how to get air into my own lungs. | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
I might as well have taken the money and flushed it down the toilet. | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
I thought he seemed very good. Good?! | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
He's Mickey Mouse. | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
I've a good mind to report him for violation of the Trade Descriptions Act. | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
You've got to give him a chance, three sessions he said. | :36:45. | :36:51. | |
Mary had at least six. | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
When have you booked your next session? | :36:54. | :37:00. | |
Brian? | :37:00. | :37:06. | |
You did book your next session, didn't you, Brian? | :37:06. | :37:16. | |
:37:16. | :37:26. | ||
Morning. Brian. | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
Bright and early, Brian. I've had my first good night's sleep in a month. | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
Glad to hear it. | :37:32. | :37:34. | |
Was it the warm clothes? It was not. | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
Ah. What? | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
I'm going through all the prison visitors Robinson's had before Barton was killed, right. | :37:41. | :37:46. | |
It's the same old friends, family associates, | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
but none of them stand out at all. | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
Down here, I found a name we do know, Anthony Walters. | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
Walters visited Robinson in prison? | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
He wouldn't be that stupid. | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
He visited another bloke in the same nick so he could get a message to Robinson. | :37:59. | :38:04. | |
To let him know he'd seen Barton. | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
Well, exactly. | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
You told me you'd leave me alone. We had a deal. | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
I don't make deals, Mr Walters, but if I ever made an exception, | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
it'd be based on you telling the truth. | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
Which so far you haven't managed to do, so why don't you tell us about your prison visit? | :38:17. | :38:22. | |
I didn't see Robinson. Maybe not but you saw someone on his wing. | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
Look, all I've ever tried to do is keep my nose clean. | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
If that's the truth, you've got nothing to worry about, have you? | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
Even if it's not, you're still better off talking to us. | :38:32. | :38:42. | |
:38:42. | :38:42. | ||
Barton came to see me. | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
I didn't look for him, he just turned up, like nothing had ever happened. | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
What did he want? He wanted me to get back into the drugs game. | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
He told me he was setting up a was working on getting a supplier board. He was ready to go. on deal, | :38:53. | :39:00. | |
I said no, of course I did. | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
I wasn't interested, not now and not then. | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
And I warned him that there'd be trouble if he got involved again. | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
But you gave the information to Robinson? | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
I didn't want anything to do with either of them. | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
Not Barton or Robinson. | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
But if somebody found out I'd seen Barton and not said anything... | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
Robinson would've come after you. | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
Finally, the penny's dropped. | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
I wouldn't try and be too clever, Mr Walters. | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
If Robinson arranged Barton's murder using information you gave him, | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
you could be charged as an accessory. No, no way. That's not possible. | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
But you told Robinson where he could find Barton. | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
No I didn't, I didn't know. | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
When I said I wasn't interested, he disappeared again. | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
He didn't tell me how to contact him - I didn't ask. | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
Anyway, Robinson wouldn't have needed me. | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
What do you mean? | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
If Barton was getting back in the drugs game, | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
Robinson wouldn't have to look very far, would he? | :39:58. | :40:04. | |
< If you wouldn't mind, John. | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
Yeah, it's an ongoing murder investigation. Yeah, I'll hold. Thanks. | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
Robinson had a network of contacts which involved people flying around Europe for meetings. | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
They used to get together in hotels, just like ordinary businessmen and one of the hotels... | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
Was the Maybrooke. Yeah. So we'll have to go back over the people staying there. | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
I'm already on it. Yeah, fire ahead. | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
Yeah, got him, great. Yeah, and where is that? | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
Hey, John, thanks for that, mate. I really appreciate it. | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
Cheers, take care. | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
That was an old pal of mine from the Drug Squad, | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
I gave him the hotel guest list and asked if anybody stood out... | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
Henrik De Groot. | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
He works for one of the major players in the Amsterdam drug scene. | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
Chances are the same people that Robinson has been dealing with for years. | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
So all Robinson had to do was put the word out and get them to play along. | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
And De Groot's boss agrees to sell to Barton and sets up a meeting at the Maybrooke. | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
But really, De Groot's there tokill him, on the orders of Robinson. | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
So he waits in the car outside and when your man shows up, no more Barton. | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
Well, Alice West saw somebody in the car. | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
Not well enough to describe him, though. | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
Well, maybe De Groot's face will jog her memory. | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
Alice, we want you to look at these photographs very carefully. | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
Take your time, Alice, there's no rush. | :41:26. | :41:33. | |
This one, I recognise him. | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
Are you absolutely sure? | :41:37. | :41:39. | |
Yeah, a hundred percent. | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
Alice, was this the man in the car?- The car? | :41:41. | :41:47. | |
No, he was in here, in the restaurant. | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
What? | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
He was the man ordering coffee in the restaurant. | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
So he was definitely in the restaurant when you went out- and found the body? | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
Yeah, he was over there. That's what I'm saying. | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
Is there any way he could have nipped out and then come back in again? | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
No, not without me seeing. He wasthere the whole time. Just drinking. | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
Well, thanks anyway. | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
Did I say something wrong? | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
No, not at all. Just not what we were expecting. | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
You thought he was in the car! Well, we thought it was possible. | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
I'm sorry, I've tried to remember the driver, I really have. | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
Yes, yes, we know you have. | :42:31. | :42:32. | |
It's probably in there somewhere, I just can't get it out. | :42:32. | :42:40. | |
I'm desperate for a cigarette, just a couple of puffs, you know. | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
So I go outside. Are you outside now? | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
I leave the door open so I can get back in. | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
And what do you do next? | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
I take out a fag and go to light it. | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
With a lighter or matches? A lighter. | :42:57. | :43:02. | |
But then I see a man lying on the ground. | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
I don't want you to look at the man, Alice, I want you to look around alley. What else can you see? | :43:05. | :43:10. | |
I can see a car. | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
Is there anyone inside the car? | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
Yeah, in the driver's seat. | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
But I can't see them very well. | :43:20. | :43:22. | |
OK, let's look at the car itself again. What colour is it? | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
It's blue, a dark blue. | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
Now I want you to look back at the driver. Is it a man or a woman? | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
I think it's a man.I can't really tell, but I think so. | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
Can you see this man's face? | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
No, I can't see it. It's just... | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
I... No, I can't see it. | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
It was worth a try, at least. | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
And what about the number plate on the car, Alice? Can you see that? | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
Alice? Can you see the number plate? | :43:59. | :44:04. | |
I think so. Yes, yes, I can. | :44:04. | :44:09. | |
Please read the number out. | :44:09. | :44:14. | |
Y169... | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
Forget about a description of the driver - | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
she read out the whole number plate | :44:19. | :44:21. | |
as if it was right there in front of her. | :44:21. | :44:23. | |
That's fantastic. Yeah, I've got to- admit, I was sceptical. | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
I should hang onto that thought if I was you. | :44:27. | :44:29. | |
Why, what's the problem? | :44:29. | :44:30. | |
The vehicle is registered to a Dennis Craven. | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
He's got no form. He's a maths teacher at a comprehensive school near Staines. | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
A maths teacher? | :44:38. | :44:40. | |
Well, that's the end of that, then. | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
I knew all that stuff was mumbo jumbo. | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
PHONE RINGS | :44:44. | :44:46. | |
Hello, UCOS. Yeah, speaking. | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
It is possible that Alice West got it wrong about the number plate. | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
Or she got it right but the car had- nothing to do with Barton's death. | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
Well, thanks very much for calling. Yeah, goodbye. | :44:56. | :45:00. | |
That was the local council about where Barton's body's buried. Oh, yeah? | :45:00. | :45:05. | |
Seems we're not the only onesinterested. They had a call from a woman claiming to be his mother. | :45:05. | :45:10. | |
His mother's dead. Maybe Caroline Robinson cared more about him than she said. | :45:10. | :45:20. | |
:45:20. | :45:44. | ||
Excuse me. Can I have a word? | :45:44. | :45:50. | |
Dennis Craven's house is number 49... Here. | :45:50. | :46:00. | |
:46:00. | :46:03. | ||
So is it still working? What? | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
Hypnosis. Oh, yeah, brilliant. | :46:06. | :46:08. | |
Mind you, it's not really hypnosis,- is it? | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
It's more just the power of suggestion. | :46:11. | :46:13. | |
It definitely worked for me, even if it didn't for Alice West. | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
Maybe it did. What? | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
Take a look at this. | :46:19. | :46:27. | |
The car was serviced at Carlisle's garage. | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
And it was in for its service on the very day Barton was killed. | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
We've got the paperwork to prove it. | :46:34. | :46:36. | |
Can't be a coincidence - the odds on that are astronomical. | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
And anyway, De Groot was inside the hotel when Barton was attacked. | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
So maybe we've been sidetracked by this whole Robinson scenario. | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
Hiya. We've assumed that he was killed because of what he did as Thomas Barton. | :46:47. | :46:53. | |
Maybe he was killed because of what he did as Christopher Collins. | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
What's going on? The car outside the- hotel was from Carlisle's garage. | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
We've probably been looking in completely the wrong place. | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
I've got something that might support that theory. | :47:03. | :47:06. | |
A woman left flowers at Barton's grave. | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
Do you know who it was? No, I haven't got a name, | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
but from the description, it was not Caroline Robinson. | :47:13. | :47:23. | |
:47:23. | :47:26. | ||
Can we come in, please, Mrs Carlisle? | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
My husband's not here, he's at work. Yeah, we know. | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
Thank you. | :47:33. | :47:38. | |
Look, I just worked with Collins, or Barton, | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
or whatever his name was - that's all. | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
And not even for very long. So you didn't know him well? | :47:42. | :47:45. | |
That's what I just said. | :47:45. | :47:47. | |
Yeah, and that's why I'm wondering why you put flowers on his grave. | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
I just...thought someone should, that's all. | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
I just thought someone should do something. | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
Do you know what a log file is? No. | :47:59. | :48:03. | |
It's a record of activities on a website. | :48:03. | :48:05. | |
You first visited the Not Ever Forgotten website about six months ago. | :48:06. | :48:10. | |
You looked at the page with Barton's photograph on it on 32 occasions. | :48:10. | :48:15. | |
Why didn't you come forward earlier? | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
I don't know, I guess... I guess I wasn't sure. | :48:17. | :48:21. | |
No, no, I think you waited because you were hiding something. | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
I had nothing to do with his death. | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
That's not what we're saying. If you were involved, you wouldn't have come forward at all. | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
You were worried we'd find out that- you and Barton had had an affair. | :48:34. | :48:42. | |
You can't tell John. | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
You can't tell him. | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
I'm telling you, Brian, we were on our way out, | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
she calls him into her office and shuts the door on me. | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
And it was just her and Strickland? | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
Yeah, doesn't look good, does it? | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
Nah. Well, I shall go freelance, Gerry. Freelance? | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
Yeah, you know, that website, Not Ever Forgotten - | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
they've got hundreds of open cases spread all over the world. | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
They could really use somebody with my experience. | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
Well, you're going to have to do something. | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
Don't worry - if UCOS closes, I'll not be going back on the booze. | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking about Esther. | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
She's not going to put up with you around the house all day, every day, is she? | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
Oh, here we go. | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
So, that's 45 to the gallon around town, | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
so on the open road you can probably account for... | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
Uh, be back in a minute. | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
Can this wait? Not really. She's been here for the third time, and I think she's about to bite. | :49:43. | :49:49. | |
Someone else'll have to reel her in. | :49:49. | :49:51. | |
Keys, boss. | :49:52. | :49:53. | |
And it won't be him either. | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
I-I met John when I was 18. Three months later, we were married. | :50:00. | :50:06. | |
My parents wouldn't come - they didn't approve. | :50:06. | :50:12. | |
It was the age difference - he was 31. | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
It didn't matter to me. | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
I loved him. | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
And I've never...regretted it, | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
it's just he likes to be... | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
In control? | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
No, no, not that, just... always together. | :50:32. | :50:37. | |
It can feel a little suffocating sometimes. | :50:37. | :50:43. | |
Chris wasn't like that. By Chris you mean Thomas Barton? | :50:43. | :50:48. | |
He was Chris to me, and he was different, that was all. | :50:48. | :50:57. | |
Exciting. | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
I was flattered, and I was stupid. | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
It was a crazy thing to do. But it happened, it just happened. | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
I understand. Do you? | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
Because I don't, not really. | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
I knew it was a mistake straightaway. | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
It didn't last long, just a couple of weeks. | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
I told him I couldn't do it. | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
It wasn't worth it, it wasn't worth- risking everything I had, | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
everything I've got, for a fling. | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
Where did you go on the night he was killed? | :51:33. | :51:35. | |
How do you know I went anywhere? | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
Just answer the question, please, Lisa. | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
I...wanted some time on my own, I went to my mother's. | :51:40. | :51:45. | |
She lives near Dartmouth, in Devon. | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
Did you drive? Yes. | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
You took your car? | :51:51. | :51:52. | |
We only have one car. | :51:52. | :51:54. | |
What difference does that make? | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
Who else knew about you and Barton,- apart from your husband? | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
John didn't know. | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
Didn't he? | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
John didn't know. | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
Your wife went to Devon, she drove there in your car, | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
and that's why you had to take one that was in for a service. | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
There are people in and out all the time. | :52:19. | :52:21. | |
Anyone could have had access to that vehicle. | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
That's probably true. | :52:25. | :52:26. | |
Anyone could have a motive, | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
but you're the only one whose wife was having an affair with Thomas Barton. | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
Lisa? | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
No, no way. | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
That never happened. | :52:42. | :52:46. | |
I don't believe you. | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
I could say the same thing. We know about the relationship. She confirmed it. | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
She told you that? Yes, she did. | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
She didn't think that you knew, but you did, didn't you? | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
Of course I didn't. | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
You had to - that's why you went to the Maybrooke. | :53:03. | :53:05. | |
Maybe you didn't go there to kill him - | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
maybe you just wanted to warn him off. | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
I didn't go anywhere. | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
And you can't prove I did. We'll prove it, Mr Carlisle, I can promise you that. | :53:14. | :53:21. | |
We know you knew about Barton and Lisa Carlisle's affair. | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
You saw them together. | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
And we know why you're so loyal to Carlisle. | :53:28. | :53:31. | |
I mean, you've been with him a long time. | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
He gave you a job when many others wouldn't have. | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
But that loyalty should only be stretched so far. | :53:38. | :53:44. | |
Did Carlisle tell you that he killed Barton? | :53:44. | :53:49. | |
John Carlisle is a good man. | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
You didn't answer the question. | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
Yeah, I did. | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
You're hanging by a thread here, Jason. | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
Accessory, conspiracy - we've got all sorts of options. | :54:00. | :54:05. | |
Take your best shot. | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
I really don't have anything more to say. | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
That is your right, Mr Carlisle. | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
It does seem such a waste, though. | :54:14. | :54:18. | |
I mean, given that the affair was over. | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
Pointless, really. Lisa had made her choice. What? | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
The affair, the one that you didn't know about. | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
It was finished, done and dusted. | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
She'd already chosen you, John. | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
No. Yeah, the relationship was over. | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
No, no, no - they were still seeing each other. | :54:39. | :54:44. | |
They were meeting in the hotel. Mr Carlisle. Just wait... | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
Sorry, they were what? | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
I knew, I heard him on the phone. | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
Barton wasn't there to meet Lisa. | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
I heard the name of the hotel, he was arranging it all. | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
He wasn't meeting her - he was there for something completely different. | :55:00. | :55:04. | |
You know the best bit? You didn't have to kill him. | :55:04. | :55:09. | |
There was someone else desperate to do it, and they would have done as well. | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
Except you got there first. | :55:13. | :55:22. | |
Brian, is Sandra around? She's in an interview. | :55:22. | :55:25. | |
OK, thanks. | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
Do you want me to give her a message? | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
Just ask her to give me a call, will you? | :55:30. | :55:31. | |
Can I tell her what it's about? | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
I've got some news for her, that's all. Thanks. | :55:34. | :55:44. | |
I didn't want him dead. I didn't. | :55:44. | :55:48. | |
I just wanted it to stop. | :55:48. | :55:50. | |
So you waited close to the hotel. | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
Yeah, I was going to go in and, you know, knock on the door. | :55:54. | :56:02. | |
He was waiting outside when I got there, having a fag. | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
I told him to leave Lisa alone. | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
And what did he do? | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
He smiled at me. | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
That's what did it. | :56:17. | :56:22. | |
He'd taken my wife away from me, and he just stood there and he smiled. | :56:22. | :56:27. | |
What happened next? | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
He pushed past me. | :56:31. | :56:34. | |
He was just walking away, he wasn't listening. | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
I swung my arm out and caught him on the face. | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
He wobbled a bit, but he was still smiling. | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
So I hit him again and he went down. | :56:45. | :56:52. | |
I just didn't want to lose her. | :56:52. | :56:59. | |
I wasn't going to let that happen. | :56:59. | :57:07. | |
KNOCK ON THE DOOR | :57:08. | :57:11. | |
Where's John? Is he here? Can I see him? | :57:11. | :57:14. | |
I need to see my husband. | :57:14. | :57:15. | |
That's not possible at the moment. | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
Can I get you anything? | :57:18. | :57:19. | |
Cup of tea? | :57:19. | :57:21. | |
This is all my fault. | :57:21. | :57:24. | |
I knew how much he loved me, that should've been enough. | :57:24. | :57:30. | |
Yeah, but you're not responsible for what other people do. | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
I am responsible, he did it for me. | :57:33. | :57:37. | |
God, why did I? | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
I'll never forgive myself. | :57:40. | :57:48. | |
To UCOS. UCOS. | :57:48. | :57:51. | |
And all who sail in her. All who sink in her. | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
I've got some news. | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
Yeah, we can guess. How long have we got? | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
We know you've discussed it with Strickland. | :57:59. | :58:02. | |
We're prepared for the worst. | :58:02. | :58:04. | |
Pastures new. | :58:04. | :58:06. | |
Sorry to disappoint you, but Strickland has made some enquiries, | :58:06. | :58:09. | |
and you're not going to get away that easily. | :58:09. | :58:11. |
