0:00:02 > 0:00:03OWL HOOTS

0:00:03 > 0:00:06Something came up.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08It's not important.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10INDISTINCT MALE VOICE

0:00:10 > 0:00:11I said I'm sorry!

0:00:15 > 0:00:18No, I don't want you to come over.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Because I can't deal with you right now!

0:00:38 > 0:00:41GLASS SMASHING LOUDLY

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Mia?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Mia, is that you?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Mia?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00No, I'm afraid they're out on a job.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02I will tell them the moment they get back, yes.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Thank you. Bye.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07He got injured paragliding in Lanzarote

0:02:07 > 0:02:08when he should have been at work.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12That's irrelevant. You said he was faking it, I said he wasn't.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13You owe me a tenner.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Another audition?- Fashion choice.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Actually, I've decided to take vintage to a whole new level.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22A very nice lady just called about a missing item.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24She asked if you'd pop over to her estate.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26HE SIGHS

0:02:26 > 0:02:28You tell her if she wants to see me, she can come here.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Well, hang on, shouldn't we find out...?- I'm not traipsing all over

0:02:31 > 0:02:33some dodgy housing estate because some old bat's

0:02:33 > 0:02:35lost her garden gnome! No, thank you.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Ah, he's just grumpy cos he lost a bet.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Yes, hello. May I speak to Lady Tania Bede, please?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- Lady Bede?- I'll hold. - Of Thessley Hall?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- That's the one. - Oh, we can make some exceptions!

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Go and march or something. Go on.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18The Bedes put on a charity fundraiser once a year

0:03:18 > 0:03:21to celebrate the autumn equinox. The End of Summer Ball.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Ah, can't say I've ever had an invite.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27That's because you have to be a millionaire to get on the guest list.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Big deal, apparently.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31No wonder she's lost something.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34I bet her toilets are in a different postcode.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Mm-hm. "Lavatories," actually, please.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Could we not lower ourselves to the standards of the hoi polloi?

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Yeah, talking of hoi polloi, if something's gone missing...

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Oh, come on. If I said that, you'd say I was jumping to conclusions.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49That's because when you say it, you are.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm merely drawing on my many years of experience.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54A wealth of knowledge.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Where do you need me, Mr Greenvale?

0:04:04 > 0:04:06You're late.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09- Big night, was it?- No, just...

0:04:09 > 0:04:11- didn't get that much sleep. - Oh, yeah?

0:04:11 > 0:04:12- I'm fine to work.- Oh, I hope so.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17There's a lot to do if we're going to be ready for tonight.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Go and help Phil move the generator.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Your Ladyship.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26We agreed none of you were to go into the main house.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27We did.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31So why are there labourers filling buckets in my utility?

0:04:31 > 0:04:32I'll sort it.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I've been wanting to speak to you.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43This is going to be my last year.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Running the event, I mean.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- But you've always... - 20 years is a long time.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53And now I've got the house in Spain...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58I'm sure you'll find someone else.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Very well.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02Thank you for letting me know.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Who are they?

0:05:12 > 0:05:14They're here to see me.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15It's a private matter.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20FRANK SLURPS LOUDLY

0:05:22 > 0:05:25You mentioned that...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29LU LAUGHS NERVOUSLY

0:05:29 > 0:05:34So you mentioned that you had an item that went missing.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Two, actually.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39The first is this.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44It's called Love-In-Idleness.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47One of a kind.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50It was stolen from that display cabinet last night.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Worth a few bob, then?

0:05:52 > 0:05:53It's priceless.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56It was given to me at our very first ball 20 years ago.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59I hoped to wear it tonight.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04It's not the most secure place to put a priceless heirloom.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07I kept it in our safe until recently,

0:06:07 > 0:06:09but I wanted to be able to see it.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Foolish, really.- Burglar alarm?

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Yes, but it was switched off -

0:06:16 > 0:06:19which brings me to the second item...

0:06:21 > 0:06:25..my daughter, Mia. She disappeared at the same time.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'd... Not that I would want to do us out of a job,

0:06:27 > 0:06:31but if your daughter's missing,

0:06:31 > 0:06:33shouldn't you have called the police?

0:06:34 > 0:06:37That doll was left by the cabinet.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I gave it to Mia when she was a baby.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42No doubt it's a message.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44You think Mia took the necklace?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46A burglar would have taken other valuables.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Mia and I have had some disagreements recently.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53If the police get involved, it will all get out of hand.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55I just want my necklace back.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Right. Well, so our standard terms of business

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- would mean that you would have to... - I will give you £10,000 -

0:07:02 > 0:07:06if, and only if, you retrieve it by tonight.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- You're on.- Perhaps I should show you Mia's bedroom.- Yeah.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15WHISPERING: Ten grand for a day's work, what's not to like?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17Yeah, but what if we don't find it in time?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19We will! We're the dream team, remember?

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Here.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28This is Mia's bedroom.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Is there anything missing?

0:07:35 > 0:07:36Not that I can tell.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39A few clothes maybe.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43We're going to need Mia's mobile and e-mail,

0:07:43 > 0:07:47maybe a list of friends, places she liked to go, that sort of thing.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49To be honest, her life outside of this house is a mystery to me.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53You mentioned "disagreements."

0:07:54 > 0:07:58Since my husband died a year ago, Mia has been...

0:07:58 > 0:08:00troubled.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Coming and going at all hours.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Exams were a disaster.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07And I had to stop her allowance,

0:08:07 > 0:08:08because I found drugs in her handbag.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11That's like me when I was 18.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Not the drugs! Just, you know, just generally 18-ish stuff.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19It's, erm...

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Has Mia run away before?

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yes, but something tells me this time she means it.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27Anyone she might have spent time with recently?

0:08:27 > 0:08:28You could try Helen.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30They've been inseparable for years.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32- They went to boarding school together.- Surname?

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Nedarson. That's her there.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39MOBILE RINGS

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Caterers. I should take this.

0:08:46 > 0:08:47Lady Bede speaking.

0:08:47 > 0:08:52- WHISPERING:- Is it just me or does that woman care more about a piece

0:08:52 > 0:08:54of jewellery than her own daughter?

0:08:54 > 0:08:55#Justsaying

0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Popular girl, isn't she? - Mm. Are you jealous?

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Do you know a St Theodore's Hospital?

0:09:07 > 0:09:09No, sorry.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Well, according to this,

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Mia gave them 200 quid a couple of weeks ago.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I'm going to need you to check that out, Sebastian.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- And I want you to visit some pawn shops.- Lucky me!

0:09:20 > 0:09:23Pawnbrokers! Try Highwall and Sons first.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26They deal with the more pricey stuff.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Do you think she'll try and flog the necklace?

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Well, why else would she take it? If she's going to run away,

0:09:31 > 0:09:33she'll need cash.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36And according to this, she's right on her overdraft limit.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I know where we can look for Helen Nedarson.

0:09:41 > 0:09:42Great.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47She's... Well, hang on, I haven't told you yet.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Yeah, you go. There's someone else who might be able to help.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- But don't...don't you want...? - A deadline like this calls for

0:09:52 > 0:09:54drastic measures. Catch you later.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- DOOR SLAMS - OK.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Wrong.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19Still wrong.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Spider, open the door or I'll tell your mam what you look at online.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28She'd be relieved.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31She thinks I spend all day looking at dirty pictures.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Ow!

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Three, two, one, lift.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48And up, go.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Helen Nedarson?- Yes.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Hi, can I have a word? I'm Lu Shakespeare.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm looking into the disappearance of Mia Bede.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Mia? What's happened?

0:11:03 > 0:11:04She disappeared last night.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Along with a rather expensive item belonging to her mother.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Are you police?- No, I'm a private investigator.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Lady Tania hired us to find her daughter.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14When did you last see Mia?

0:11:14 > 0:11:16Yesterday afternoon. I went over to hers.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20Did she seem distressed? Or mention any plans to go away?

0:11:20 > 0:11:21No. Nothing like that.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23And you haven't had contact with her since?

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Should I be worried?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Well, I'm sure we'll find her.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Can I ask, do you recognise him?

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Yeah. Dimitri.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33They've been seeing each other.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35I don't think it's serious, though.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Not enough for them to elope!

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Erm, where might I find him, do you know?

0:11:40 > 0:11:42Here. He's the club captain.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44His crew've got training at noon.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47You've been really helpful, thanks. And if...if Mia does get in touch

0:11:47 > 0:11:50- will you...?- I'll give you a buzz straight away. Promise.- Thanks.

0:12:01 > 0:12:02It's me.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04We need to talk about last night.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Beer?- Nah.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13It's a bit early, even for me.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Yeah, well, you're not being pursued over the dark Web

0:12:15 > 0:12:17by Russian hackers.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Turns out I might've nicked a load of their Bitcoins.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Much as I love hearing about your cyber-geekery,

0:12:22 > 0:12:25we're working a missing persons case and we're short on time.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27So you want to cut some corners?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Yeah, can you check this mobile number?

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Any calls or messages in the last 24 hours?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34I could, but it's not strictly legal.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Since when has anything you've ever done in your life

0:12:36 > 0:12:38been strictly legal, Spider?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Yeah, what I'm saying is, it'll cost you.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Well, in this case, money isn't an issue.

0:12:43 > 0:12:44If we find her.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- PHONE RINGS - All right, I'll be in touch.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Shouldn't take long.- Thanks.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Oh. Hello.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Hang on a sec.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Word of advice, from a friend...

0:12:57 > 0:12:58Yeah?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00..you might want to open some of these windows a bit.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03You know, let some air in. Just...

0:13:03 > 0:13:06It stinks.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Yeah. What did she say?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10HE SNIFFS

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Oh, sorry. Sorry.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26Mr Erasmus? We're private investigators.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28We're looking for Mia.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29Tried Thessley Hall?

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Lady Tania's the one that hired us.

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Mia's gone missing.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34I've not heard from Mia for days.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36And you haven't been worried about that?

0:13:36 > 0:13:40- Should I have been?- Well, it's just, I thought you two were an item.

0:13:40 > 0:13:41It was just a casual thing.

0:13:41 > 0:13:45- Bit of fun.- Was? Does that mean you've split up?

0:13:45 > 0:13:47No, erm... I'd been planning on ending it,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49but I've not heard from her.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- And I've been busy with training, so...- Where were you last night?

0:13:52 > 0:13:54At home.

0:13:54 > 0:13:57All night. Sorry, but my crew is waiting for me.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09He's hiding something. And I'm not just talking about the sock stuffed

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- down his... I'm joking. I wasn't looking.- Keep watch.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16How do you know his combination?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Finely-honed observational skills.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21Hm. Remind me not to stand in front of you at the cash machine.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Too late. Your PIN number's five, four, three...- Shush!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29So if you just... So you'd do this.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Yes.- And then it's just... The triceps.- Yes.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44"Polly Hoppins"?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Oh, I know Polly! She used to come into the salon.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49She makes jewellery. She's got a shop in town.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, if Mia's just a bit of fun,

0:14:51 > 0:14:55why's our rower friend spending five grand on a diamond ring?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Polly does remember Dimitri.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00Definitely an engagement ring, and that's not all.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Go on.- Apparently, he called her this morning, asking to return it,

0:15:03 > 0:15:05and get a refund, and when Polly said no,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Dimitri just went mad. Just started yelling at her down the phone.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11PHONE RINGS Oh!

0:15:12 > 0:15:14What have you got for me? VIDEO GAME GUNSHOTS

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Only two calls logged from the girl's phone in the last 24 hours.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20One to an unregistered pay-as-you-go.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23One to a number registered Dimitri Erasmus.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26Both were just before midnight last night.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Nothing since?- Nope.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31I've tried tracking her GPS, but it seems like her phone is off.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Good work. Now, I want you to send me the exact times of those calls.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Yeah. I will do, along with me invoice.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39Yes. See you later.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43It's just work, work, work.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45Dimitri lied.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47They did speak last night.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50So maybe he proposed and she said no

0:15:50 > 0:15:52or something gave him cold feet.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- PHONE RINGS - Oh!

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Hello, Lu Shakespeare speaking.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59It's Lady Bede.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03You've got to come back to Thessley Hall.

0:16:03 > 0:16:05We've found something.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10It was found in the middle of a footpath in the gardens.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14I've asked all my ground crew. Nobody saw how it got there.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17And this was on top.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23"If you want to see your daughter again,

0:16:23 > 0:16:27"leave £50,000 in cash under the fountain by midnight tonight."

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- We need to call the police. - It specifically says no police.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Frank's an ex-officer. If he thinks we should call...

0:16:33 > 0:16:36No police! Until she's safe.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's Lady Tania's decision.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41I'm so foolish.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43I assumed it was just Mia being Mia.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46- You shouldn't be blaming yourself. - Of course I should!

0:16:46 > 0:16:50She's my daughter, and you'd understand if you...

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Please, bring her back.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00We'll do everything we can.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05That's the second number Mia called last night.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- What, the kidnapper's?- Maybe.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10But if it's a burner, we'll never trace it.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15You don't know why Mia made a payment to St Theodore's Hospital

0:17:15 > 0:17:16at the end of last month, do you?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18I wasn't aware she had.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21She hadn't been ill? Or had surgery or anything?

0:17:21 > 0:17:22No.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24No, nothing like that.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26The ransom money...

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Do you have access to...? - I'll call the bank.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Just in case. - Hopefully we won't need to use it.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37The concierge at his block of flats said Dimitri

0:17:37 > 0:17:39did go out last night. Came back in about two.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41- Apparently, he was in a right state.- What, drunk?

0:17:41 > 0:17:44And upset. Muttering something about being an idiot.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48What if Mia was pregnant?

0:17:48 > 0:17:50Pregnant?

0:17:50 > 0:17:51Yeah. Go with me on this, right?

0:17:51 > 0:17:54So Mia tells Dimitri. He does a bit of soul-searching,

0:17:54 > 0:17:57does the right thing and buys her a ring...

0:17:57 > 0:18:00but then, in the meantime, Mia's been and had a...

0:18:00 > 0:18:03you know, termination - hence the payment to the hospital.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Cost more than 200 quid for a private hospital, wouldn't it?

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Maybe that was just one instalment.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Go on.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Well, Polly said that Dimitri had a bit of a temper on him, didn't she?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15So what if when Mia tells him she's been behind his back,

0:18:15 > 0:18:18he gets angry, he lashes out...

0:18:18 > 0:18:21and then he tries to cover his tracks by pretending she's run away?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Ah, it's a bit of a leap.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I mean, if he was going to kill her, why bother with a ransom note?

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Well, 50,000's a lot, isn't it? Even for a posh boy.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Oh, I don't know.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34Planting a hoodie in broad daylight's risky.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36That's him. What do we do now?

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Well, normally, I'd say watch and wait, but...

0:18:39 > 0:18:41what the hell.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Mr Erasmus...- I said, I haven't heard from her.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52And yet she called your mobile just before midnight.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56- You said you were home all night. - I was.- No, you weren't.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58What can you tell me about this engagement ring?

0:18:59 > 0:19:03- How do you know all this? - Was Mia pregnant?

0:19:03 > 0:19:06Pregnant? Well, if she was, she didn't tell me.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Look, we're done here. - They found Mia's hoodie.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12It's covered in blood.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Some of my friends at the police force are less discreet than me.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19OK. Yes, I spoke to her.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22She was supposed to come round to mine.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24You were going to propose?

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- But she never turned up. - That must've hurt.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Did you go and confront her?- No!

0:19:28 > 0:19:32I went out, yes, but I didn't go anywhere near Thessley Hall.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34And I've an alibi.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Who?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38I can't say.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Nine, nine... What was the other number again?- OK!

0:19:41 > 0:19:43But you have to swear not to tell anyone.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Dimitri came to ask about Mia.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49He didn't know why she stood him up.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53He still planned to propose. I didn't want him to get hurt so...

0:19:57 > 0:19:59..I told him the truth.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02What's that?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Mia's been seeing someone else.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Dmitri's just so...

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Handsome?

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Loaded?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Ripped?

0:20:12 > 0:20:15If you love him so much, why don't you go out with him?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17I wish.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21- I bet there's someone else.- No.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23There is, isn't there?

0:20:23 > 0:20:24Right, maybe.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Who? Tell me.- It's...

0:20:29 > 0:20:32If you say "complicated", I'm smothering you with this pillow.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I can't say. Not yet.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36At least tell me where you met.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40Right here in my own back garden.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43You grassed your best mate up to her boyfriend just like that?

0:20:43 > 0:20:48"Best mate"? That's a joke! I've liked Dimitri for years.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Mia knows that and she hooked up with him anyway

0:20:50 > 0:20:53- just to pass the time. - Why didn't you tell me all this

0:20:53 > 0:20:57- in the first place?- I thought Mia was just out partying somewhere.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00And I didn't want her finding out, did I?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02You and Dimitri?

0:21:03 > 0:21:06SHE SIGHS

0:21:06 > 0:21:09He was upset. We had a drink and then...

0:21:09 > 0:21:12you know... I didn't plan it or anything.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16- It just happened.- And you were with him till just before two?

0:21:16 > 0:21:18After we...

0:21:18 > 0:21:20He dozed off,

0:21:20 > 0:21:24and when he woke up he couldn't get out of there fast enough.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26He made me swear never to tell anyone.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30Nothing like a vow of silence to make a girl feel special.

0:21:33 > 0:21:38So Lady Tania said she was woken up around midnight.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Dimitri and Helen have given each other an alibi for that time.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44They could both be lying.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46Let's assume for a moment Helen's telling the truth.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49That would mean Mia has been seeing another bloke

0:21:49 > 0:21:51she met at Thessley Hall.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Well, the events crew have been in there for a while.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56It could be one of them. I don't know how do we find out who, though.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59By finding out who this phone number belongs to.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- I assume you've tried calling it? - Yeah.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Just keeps going to answerphone.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05I'll keep trying - might get lucky.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09But soft! What delight through yonder window breaks?

0:22:09 > 0:22:11I come bearing gifts.

0:22:11 > 0:22:12What the hell are you wearing?

0:22:12 > 0:22:15I got it at the pawnbroker. He recognised the necklace.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Some guy brought it in this morning, but then left again when they

0:22:18 > 0:22:19wouldn't match his asking price.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Still doesn't explain the dead animal.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Erm, it's faux, and the owner said he wouldn't give me the CCTV

0:22:24 > 0:22:27unless I bought something.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30I put it on the company credit card.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Erm, since when did we have a company credit card?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Let's have a look at that CCTV, shall we?

0:22:34 > 0:22:37Lu? Lu?

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Hey!

0:22:40 > 0:22:43I recognise him. He was at the estate this morning.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46£10 says he's Mia's secret boyfriend.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- I'm not making any more bets with you.- Spoil-sport.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53And this means I get to keep the coat.

0:22:53 > 0:22:54Right?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56HE PURRS

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Any news?- Not yet.

0:23:03 > 0:23:04We're still making enquiries.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06In which case, why are you back here?

0:23:06 > 0:23:09We want to talk to somebody who might have come into contact

0:23:09 > 0:23:10with the necklace. Or Mia.

0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Or both.- Do you, erm...do you know him?

0:23:14 > 0:23:17It could be one of the labourers.

0:23:17 > 0:23:18Ask Mr Greenvale.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Excuse me.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Mr Greenvale.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Frank Hathaway. I'm a private investigator.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Do you, erm, know him?

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Yeah, it's Lee. He's been working with me.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37There he is.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Lee? Lee!

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Oh.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58- How did you...?- I've been doing this a lot longer than you have.

0:23:58 > 0:24:03Now, look, we've got CCTV footage of you trying to sell the necklace.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05If you've hurt Mia...

0:24:05 > 0:24:08"Hurt her"? I've never touched her. I was doing her a favour.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11What, so you and your girlfriend were planning this together,

0:24:11 > 0:24:14- were you?- "Girlfriend"? I only met her last night.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Look, it's true. I was working late, finishing off some lights,

0:24:17 > 0:24:19and I saw her come out the summerhouse.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Mia, don't be like that!

0:24:21 > 0:24:23I shouldn't have said anything!

0:24:42 > 0:24:44What?

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Lady Tania's girl, aren't you?

0:24:46 > 0:24:48I'm nobody's girl.

0:24:48 > 0:24:50We'll have to see about that.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52Oh, really?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54I'm Lee, by the way.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Nice to meet you, Lee By The Way.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'm Mia.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05- So what was Mia arguing with Rod about?- Not a clue.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09We just chatted. I fancied her, gave her my number.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Next thing I know, she's calling,

0:25:11 > 0:25:14inviting herself round to mine in the middle of the night.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19- What you doing here? - Sorry. I know it's late.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21I just thought you might...know people.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24- What're you talking about? - You said...you know...

0:25:24 > 0:25:28you've been in trouble with the police and stuff.

0:25:28 > 0:25:29Here.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33Oh, my God! Where did you get that?

0:25:33 > 0:25:35It's mine.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36Sort of.

0:25:36 > 0:25:38I need a favour.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Why would she give you the necklace if you'd only just met?

0:25:41 > 0:25:44She was desperate for cash. Said she couldn't flog it herself,

0:25:44 > 0:25:46cos there'd be people looking for her.

0:25:46 > 0:25:47She offered me a cut if I did it.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Only the pawnbroker reckons it's not even legit.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- What, the necklace was fake? - Went back to my place to tell Mia,

0:25:53 > 0:25:54and she freaked out.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Left saying she'd have to make the money some other way.

0:25:57 > 0:26:01What do you think happened with Ron to make Mia desperate for cash?

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Don't know.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Yeah, Mia came to see me.

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Maybe I should have mentioned it,

0:26:08 > 0:26:10but I knew you'd jump to conclusions.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12What were you arguing about?

0:26:13 > 0:26:15Mia was upset, that's all.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17She'd had a fight with her mum.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18Something about her allowance.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Do you know why she needed money?

0:26:20 > 0:26:23She never said. Too busy calling Lady Tania

0:26:23 > 0:26:25all the names under the sun.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28Why did Mia come to you?

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I've known Mia since she was a baby.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32We get on.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Or at least we did until I told her she should apologise to her mum.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Mia doesn't like being told what to do.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40I'm sorry, I have to ask this.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Are you and Mia in a relationship?

0:26:44 > 0:26:45No.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48She's not even half my age.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Well, wouldn't stop most men.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- And I'm not most men.- Yeah.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56I'm sorry, look, I haven't got time for this. I've got to get on.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59- We've got people turning up soon. - Yeah, sorry.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01- Thanks.- Thanks.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19So we still don't have a clue why Mia needed the money.

0:27:19 > 0:27:22But it doesn't matter, does it? Cos either Mia was grabbed this morning

0:27:22 > 0:27:25when she left Lee's flat, in which case the person'll be at the party

0:27:25 > 0:27:27tonight to collect the ransom...

0:27:27 > 0:27:31Or she wrote the note herself, as she'd be there to collect it.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Well, I haven't got any plans for tonight.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- We need to get kitted out.- You haven't got a dinner jacket, then?

0:27:37 > 0:27:38Well, as it happens, no.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- But that's not what I'm talking about.- Oh.

0:27:45 > 0:27:46Ah, Frankie!

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Now, what have I told you about bringing people back here?

0:27:51 > 0:27:54It's bad luck to have a woman onboard.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Bring a woman back here, trust me, I don't think you'd have much luck!

0:27:57 > 0:28:00It's fine. We're partners.

0:28:00 > 0:28:01Now, listen, we need some comms gear.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Discreet.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Environment?- A party.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08The End of the Summer Ball at Thessley Hall.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10Nice!

0:28:10 > 0:28:13All right. I've got some kit, but there's one problem.

0:28:13 > 0:28:14- What?- I'll need to be there.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17Well, can't you just teach us to operate it ourselves?

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Yes, I could, but I've heard those balls are epic,

0:28:19 > 0:28:21and I don't get out much.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24So what do you say?

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Well, thanks, AJ. Keep the change.- Thanks very much,

0:28:45 > 0:28:48Miss Shakespeare. May I say how delightful you look this evening.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Yes, you may.- Frank, I don't have the words, mate.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53It was all they had left.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55Well, I think you look very handsome.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Where's your mate? I thought he was meeting us here.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02Oh, he's undercover.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12- Refreshments?- Ooh, thank you.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- SHE GASPS - Sebastian, you look amazing!

0:29:15 > 0:29:17- Sh! I'm invisible.- Yes, no, of course.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Good luck with that.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21Right, got your earpieces in?

0:29:21 > 0:29:23- Yeah.- Affirmative.

0:29:26 > 0:29:27What did you do with your radio pack?

0:29:27 > 0:29:30I've stuffed... None of your business.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Excuse me.

0:29:35 > 0:29:36Now, you know the drill -

0:29:36 > 0:29:41- circulate amongst the guests and keep your eyes peeled.- OK!

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Hi, I'm Spider.

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Oh, creep.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04GLASS CLINKING

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Thessley Hall.

0:30:11 > 0:30:15This evening is all about raising funds for local charities,

0:30:15 > 0:30:18so when our fairies come around with the raffle,

0:30:18 > 0:30:21please dig deep.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25And in the meantime, please help yourselves to the buffet,

0:30:25 > 0:30:26and the bar,

0:30:26 > 0:30:30and may I wish you a magical evening.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32And now, a toast.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40To the end of summer!

0:30:40 > 0:30:42- ALL:- To the end of summer!

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Do you have the money?

0:31:00 > 0:31:01Yes.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04I'll leave it by the fountain just before midnight.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Do you think we'll get her back?

0:31:08 > 0:31:09Absolutely.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Don't let it out of your sight.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25Yeah, I'm not a complete idiot. Nobody's been near it all night.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Sebastian, where are you?

0:31:27 > 0:31:28Sorry, had to get more fizz.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30This lot drink like fish.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Spider?

0:31:34 > 0:31:35Spider?

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yeah, I wouldn't bother if I was you. Last I...

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Evening!

0:31:39 > 0:31:42..saw him he was stuffing his face with smoked salmon.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44It's nearly midnight.

0:31:44 > 0:31:45I know.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47What if nobody comes?

0:31:47 > 0:31:49We'll deal with that if it happens.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51WOMAN SCREAMS

0:31:54 > 0:31:57Come on, everybody! Drink up!

0:31:57 > 0:32:01It's supposed to be a party!

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Think that's funny, do you?

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Thank you. At least there's one gentleman around here.

0:32:09 > 0:32:15Has anyone ever told you, you have a very large...

0:32:15 > 0:32:17- nose? - LAUGHTER

0:32:17 > 0:32:18But it's lovely.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22What happened to her?

0:32:22 > 0:32:25I've no idea. One minute, she was fine, the next she was like this.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27I'll get her inside.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28It's all right. I'll do it.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30SHE GIGGLES

0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Time for a lie down, I think. - But I hardly know you!

0:32:40 > 0:32:43I only had a glass of Champagne.

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Course you did.

0:32:48 > 0:32:53It's a very long time since a man took me to bed.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55I thought you were married for 20 years.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58Oh, it turns out that I wasn't my husband's type.

0:32:59 > 0:33:00It's very simple, darling.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03I wanted to get away from my parents and he wanted a beard.

0:33:06 > 0:33:07But sh...

0:33:07 > 0:33:10- WHISPERING:- It's our little secret.

0:33:11 > 0:33:12So Mia...

0:33:12 > 0:33:15Mia. Darling Mia...

0:33:16 > 0:33:18She was a gift from the fairies.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Why don't you stay here and give me a cuddle?

0:33:25 > 0:33:28If you can tear yourself away, we've got a bit of a problem.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30- What sort of problem? - No problem here.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32The bag's gone.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34One of the guests wasn't feeling well.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37She asked for a glass of water. I couldn't exactly say no.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39And this guy started chatting me up.

0:33:39 > 0:33:41I mean, I looked away for literally a second.

0:33:41 > 0:33:43Well, that's all it takes.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45What are we going to do?

0:33:47 > 0:33:49Who are you talking to?

0:33:49 > 0:33:51OK.

0:33:53 > 0:33:58Look, when you say that Mia was a present from the fairies,

0:33:58 > 0:34:02what did you mean? That Lord Bede wasn't her dad?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06If you tell me the truth, it might help me to find her.

0:34:08 > 0:34:09Or mean I lose her forever.

0:34:26 > 0:34:27Party's not over yet.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31I've got an early start. I'm flying back to Spain.

0:34:31 > 0:34:33Mia going with you?

0:34:33 > 0:34:35I told you, we're not together.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37No.

0:34:37 > 0:34:39She's your daughter.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42Is that why she came here last night? Did she come to tell you?

0:34:46 > 0:34:49That was the first I knew about it.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51When did Mia find out?

0:34:51 > 0:34:54Before he died, Lord Bede told her he wasn't her real dad.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56A couple of weeks ago, she nicked my comb,

0:34:56 > 0:34:59sent it off to some private hospital to test the DNA.

0:34:59 > 0:35:01St Theodore's.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03That's what the £200 was for.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05She got the results yesterday.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07Why test you?

0:35:07 > 0:35:12Mia reckons she's always sensed something between me and her mum.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15And as she was born nine months after the first ball...

0:35:15 > 0:35:16She's a bright kid.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19What happened last night? Why did Mia storm off?

0:35:19 > 0:35:22She was upset that her mum lied to her for so long.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25She wanted to come to Spain with me,

0:35:25 > 0:35:28and I told her I can't afford to support her.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30I can barely keep a shirt on my own back.

0:35:30 > 0:35:33That's why she wanted the money.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35We've got to get out of...

0:35:35 > 0:35:37Hello, Mia.

0:35:37 > 0:35:40Are they police?

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Not exactly, but they know.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44Know what?

0:35:44 > 0:35:48That you took the necklace to pay your own way. When Lee couldn't sell

0:35:48 > 0:35:50it, you came up with a new plan to make some money.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08SHE GASPS

0:36:11 > 0:36:17Then you recruited your old man to create a distraction by spiking

0:36:17 > 0:36:19your mother's drink.

0:36:34 > 0:36:38Bit cruel, wasn't it? Letting Lady Tania think her daughter had been

0:36:38 > 0:36:39- kidnapped.- "Cruel"?

0:36:40 > 0:36:44And she keeps my child secret from me for 19 years.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46I loved that woman,

0:36:46 > 0:36:48but as far as Her Ladyship was concerned,

0:36:48 > 0:36:51it was just a bit of summer madness. She went back to her husband,

0:36:51 > 0:36:55her country pile, her title, like it hadn't even happened.

0:36:57 > 0:37:01How about you, Mia? Were you really going to just take the money and go?

0:37:01 > 0:37:03Let your mum think you're dead?

0:37:03 > 0:37:06Why should I care?

0:37:06 > 0:37:10She lied to me for my whole life.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14She cared more about this stupid necklace than she did me.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Give her this with my regards.

0:37:16 > 0:37:17Wait a minute. Show me that.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23This is her priceless heirloom?

0:37:23 > 0:37:26Except the pawnbroker said it was junk.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Well, yeah, course it's junk.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30I paid a tenner for it in a market in Marrakech.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32That's all I could afford at the time.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36She kept it?

0:37:36 > 0:37:37More than that.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41She was willing to pay £10,000 to get it back.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43What for? I told her, then - it's worthless.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46Not to her.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50Maybe it was more than a bit of summer madness.

0:38:10 > 0:38:11This'll help.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16What happened?

0:38:17 > 0:38:19A funny turn.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Why are you here?

0:38:33 > 0:38:36I was...

0:38:36 > 0:38:38reminiscing.

0:38:39 > 0:38:41Don't.

0:38:45 > 0:38:47I have something for you.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57Mia?

0:38:57 > 0:38:58Safe and sound.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00SHE SIGHS

0:39:03 > 0:39:06That man...

0:39:06 > 0:39:07the private investigator...

0:39:07 > 0:39:10He didn't say anything, did he?

0:39:10 > 0:39:12I already knew.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Mia told me.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Mia knew?

0:39:17 > 0:39:19How?

0:39:19 > 0:39:21You should talk to her.

0:39:24 > 0:39:25Ron,

0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Ron, I...- I hated you...

0:39:29 > 0:39:31when she told me.

0:39:34 > 0:39:38- Yes.- But now,

0:39:38 > 0:39:40I wonder...

0:39:40 > 0:39:43maybe you thought...

0:39:43 > 0:39:48You told me, that night, that you wanted to see the world.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52And who was I to stop you?

0:39:52 > 0:39:54I would've stayed.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58Perhaps.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06I hear you planned to wear this tonight.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12You must've known I'd recognise it.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16So...?

0:40:20 > 0:40:22I hoped...

0:40:25 > 0:40:27Tell me.

0:40:29 > 0:40:33I thought...

0:40:33 > 0:40:35with Jeremy gone...

0:40:38 > 0:40:40..perhaps we...

0:40:43 > 0:40:45Perhaps...?

0:40:48 > 0:40:50It might not be too late.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54Perhaps.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00They are supposed to be for the guests.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10I owe you a debt of gratitude.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13The ten grand will be fine.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15We're just glad to be of service, aren't we?

0:41:15 > 0:41:17All's well that ends well.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Ooh.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21Mum...

0:41:21 > 0:41:23can we talk?

0:41:25 > 0:41:28HE BELCHES Excuse me.

0:41:32 > 0:41:37# If you're afraid that I won't make the grade

0:41:37 > 0:41:44# Well, then I'll sail this ship alone

0:41:48 > 0:41:54# And if you agree to him instead of me

0:41:54 > 0:42:01# Well, then I'll sail this ship alone

0:42:04 > 0:42:09# Well they said if I wrote the perfect letter

0:42:09 > 0:42:13# That I would have a chance

0:42:13 > 0:42:17# Well, I wrote it and you burned it

0:42:17 > 0:42:23# And now do I have a chance anyway now? #

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Oh.

0:42:25 > 0:42:29Hey. Fancy a dance?

0:42:29 > 0:42:31No, I...I don't dance.

0:42:31 > 0:42:32Why? You got two left feet?

0:42:32 > 0:42:34No, I don't want to show everybody else up.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Oh, come on. Worst that could happen, you can wake up tomorrow,

0:42:37 > 0:42:39and pretend it was all a weird dream.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43- There you are! There must and shall be dancing.- Ooh!

0:42:47 > 0:42:50Can I ask a favour? I think my mum's been through enough...

0:42:50 > 0:42:53Ah, it's all right. Your secret's safe with us.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Thanks.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58They look good, don't they?

0:42:58 > 0:43:01Yeah. It's not really my specialist subject.

0:43:01 > 0:43:04We don't usually deal in happy-ever-afters.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06Still, I think she'll be happy.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10Some people aren't meant to be alone.

0:43:24 > 0:43:26Come on!

0:43:26 > 0:43:28Arriba!

0:43:28 > 0:43:31Frank's got the moves!

0:43:31 > 0:43:33THEY LAUGH

0:43:35 > 0:43:36You should do Strictly.

0:43:41 > 0:43:43Ooh!

0:43:43 > 0:43:45# She's got it

0:43:45 > 0:43:47# Oh, baby, she's got it. #

0:43:51 > 0:43:53Morning!

0:43:53 > 0:43:55Morning.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59SIGHING

0:44:03 > 0:44:05Morning!
