You going to put her down?

0:00:290:00:31

I'll put her down when she's ready.

0:00:310:00:33

Are you going to relax?

0:00:330:00:35

We're supposed to be on holiday.

Let it go. They were just kids.

0:00:550:00:58

Right. I'm sorry.

-We should call the police, Greg.

-Police?

0:01:270:01:30

They'll be the ones need the police by the time I'm finished with them.

0:01:300:01:34

-Greg, c'mon...

-Shut up.

Morning, Gwen. Be with you in a sec, OK?

0:04:380:04:41

Fine.

0:04:410:04:42

We sent a Melissa Lowell over to you on Monday.

0:04:450:04:48

Is she still with you?

0:04:480:04:49

I'll have to check. Why?

0:04:490:04:50

I need you to look her over for me. Top to bottom.

0:04:500:04:53

What am I looking for?

0:04:530:04:54

I'm not sure. Anything out of the ordinary.

0:04:540:04:57

-I'll call you back.

-Thanks, Brian.

0:04:570:04:58

-Morning.

-Morning, David.

0:05:020:05:04

Weren't here all night, were you?

No. No, I got here early.

Nikki.

0:05:260:05:27

Sorry I couldn't make it over last week.

0:05:290:05:31

-It's OK. I know you're busy.

-I don't mind busy, it's...

0:05:310:05:34

Oh, well. No excuses.

0:05:340:05:36

You're just one of the few people I'd rather see than not.

0:05:370:05:41

Thank you.

0:05:410:05:42

Come in.

0:05:420:05:43

My husband dropped dead right in front of me

0:05:440:05:47

and it turned out that sitting at home was a disaster.

0:05:470:05:50

I'm not saying you should go back to work, either, by the way.

0:05:500:05:53

But you were glad you did?

0:05:540:05:57

It was right for me.

0:05:570:05:58

But only you know what you went through, what you need to do.

0:05:580:06:03

You've been home...six weeks?

0:06:030:06:06

Two months.

0:06:080:06:09

In one sense that's no time at all. But in another...

0:06:100:06:13

It's an eternity.

0:06:130:06:15

Only you know which - everyone else can respectfully shut up.

0:06:150:06:19

After Mexico...I didn't want to come home.

0:06:210:06:25

I stopped off in New York, did I tell you?

0:06:250:06:27

You said you made a pit-stop.

0:06:270:06:29

What happened?

0:06:290:06:31

For about 48 hours, it was incredible.

0:06:310:06:35

I didn't feel scared, I didn't feel relieved...

0:06:350:06:39

I felt alive, awake,

0:06:390:06:42

and I wanted to hold on to that.

0:06:420:06:44

And then you woke up?

0:06:450:06:47

Now I'm scared, Sally.

0:06:490:06:51

I'm scared of my own shadow.

0:06:520:06:54

I'm scared of the bloody dark, and that's not me.

0:06:540:06:58

And that makes you angry?

0:06:580:07:00

Furious.

0:07:000:07:01

Come here.

0:07:010:07:03

-What're you doing, David?

-I just want to talk.

0:07:320:07:34

You've had all day to talk.

0:07:340:07:35

Except every time I try, you brush me off.

0:07:350:07:38

If Brian Hawke wants a word, no problem, yeah?

0:07:390:07:42

-But your own colleague...

-That is such bullshit.

0:07:420:07:44

At least allow me to explain how it would work.

0:07:440:07:46

You don't even have to be directly involved.

ALARM

0:08:190:08:21

Hi, this is Sally, please leave a message.

0:08:270:08:30

Sally, it's Nikki.

0:08:300:08:32

Checking in with you again like you said to.

0:08:320:08:36

I know you're up to your eyes, but...

0:08:360:08:38

..text me, call me, whatever.

0:08:380:08:41

I haven't heard back from you - you've got me worried.

0:08:410:08:44

It's probably just my paranoia, I'm sure there's nothing...

0:08:440:08:48

Sorry. Rambling.

0:08:480:08:50

Just let me know you got this.

0:08:500:08:52

Lots of love.

0:08:520:08:53

Sorry, can I help you?

0:09:540:09:55

-Where's Sally? What's going on?

-What's your connection?

0:09:560:09:59

I'm a friend of hers. Is she OK? Who are you?

0:09:590:10:04

Guy Bernhardt. NCA. Can I see some ID?

0:10:040:10:08

Sorry.

0:10:130:10:14

Nikki Alexander.

0:10:160:10:17

Right, well, I'm afraid she's gone missing.

0:10:190:10:22

-How long?

-Three days.

0:10:230:10:25

-But couldn't she...?

-She didn't turn up for court.

0:10:250:10:28

When did you last see her?

0:10:280:10:31

Er...

0:10:310:10:33

Four days ago...Tuesday?

0:10:330:10:35

-Oh, my God...

-Don't panic. We'll go and sit down.

0:10:370:10:41

So how long have you known her?

0:10:450:10:47

Er...

0:10:470:10:48

We worked together on a difficult case

0:10:500:10:52

and we stayed in touch as friends.

0:10:520:10:54

And when you saw her last Tuesday, how did she...?

0:10:540:10:58

How did she come across?

0:10:580:11:00

A bit distracted.

0:11:030:11:05

Tense.

0:11:060:11:07

She said she didn't mind being busy like...

0:11:080:11:12

..like there was something else bothering her

0:11:130:11:16

other than day-to-day stuff.

0:11:160:11:18

Anything specific?

0:11:180:11:19

She was selling her lab. Did you know that?

0:11:210:11:24

Mm-hmm.

0:11:240:11:25

One of her staff had made her an offer.

0:11:250:11:28

If Sally signed over the lab to them,

0:11:280:11:31

then she'd get a cut, something like that.

0:11:310:11:33

She wasn't interested?

0:11:330:11:35

No, but they were being difficult. Weren't taking no for an answer.

0:11:350:11:40

She didn't say the word "bullied", but that's what it sounded like.

0:11:420:11:46

Are we talking about David Cannon?

0:11:460:11:48

Is he a suspect?

0:11:500:11:51

He's a person of interest.

0:11:510:11:53

Why?

0:11:530:11:55

-He's just one of a number of leads we're...

-Why?

0:11:550:11:57

Four years ago, he was arrested for falsifying PM reports.

0:11:580:12:02

But he wasn't charged?

0:12:030:12:04

No, but he still warrants a closer look.

0:12:040:12:07

I asked David Cannon when he last saw Sally.

0:12:100:12:13

He said Tuesday at the lab.

0:12:130:12:15

But we pulled his fingerprints off a smashed mug

0:12:150:12:17

found in her kitchen bin.

0:12:170:12:19

-But that doesn't mean...

-He said, HE said,

0:12:210:12:23

the last time he'd been there was a Christmas party two years ago.

0:12:230:12:27

-How did he explain it?

-Didn't ask him to.

0:12:290:12:31

-Why?

-He knows the drill.

0:12:310:12:34

If we show our hand, he'll clam up and get a lawyer.

0:12:340:12:36

Then, of course, if he does know where Sally is...

0:12:360:12:39

-He'll never tell you.

-Exactly.

0:12:390:12:41

We've closed the lab on a ruse that we're looking into old cases

0:12:410:12:44

that might explain her disappearance.

0:12:440:12:46

We applied for warrants to search his flat and access his phone,

0:12:460:12:49

both denied. Now you can tell me to buzz off...

0:12:490:12:52

..but maybe you can help us?

0:12:530:12:55

APPLAUSE

0:12:560:12:58

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us.

0:12:580:13:01

Early on, somebody said to me,

0:13:010:13:03

"Starting your own club isn't a sprint, it's a marathon."

0:13:030:13:06

Having run a few marathons myself,

0:13:060:13:08

I can safely say that was a cruel lie.

0:13:080:13:10

It's been a hard road,

0:13:110:13:14

and I would've given up years ago

0:13:140:13:16

without the faith and encouragement of my wife Emma.

0:13:160:13:18

Even now, we're not quite there on our funding.

0:13:230:13:26

Which is why you've all been invited here today.

0:13:280:13:31

Anyway, I'm sure you've all heard quite enough from me.

0:13:310:13:34

Now it's your turn. Does anybody have any questions?

0:13:340:13:37

Yes. What's the total budget for this project?

0:13:370:13:40

BEEP, DOOR UNLOCKS

0:13:480:13:49

Hi.

0:14:150:14:16

What the hell are you doing here?

0:14:190:14:21

Nice to see you, too, Thomas.

0:14:210:14:23

So we're offering this guy a job just so we can keep an eye on him?

0:14:270:14:31

Yep, that's what we've been asked to do.

0:14:310:14:33

-What?

-You know what.

0:14:410:14:42

-Thomas...

-Not exactly page one of the recovery manual, is it?

0:14:420:14:45

This wasn't my idea.

0:14:450:14:47

No-one goes through what you did and gets away unscathed.

0:14:470:14:50

-Not even you, Nikki.

-Four days.

0:14:500:14:51

If she's alive, we might not have long.

0:14:510:14:54

Look. If it doesn't work out, we can call it.

0:14:540:14:56

All right. But supportive capacity only.

0:14:560:15:00

-OK!

-Baby steps. No postmortems.

0:15:000:15:02

I volunteered to go on leave in the first place.

0:15:020:15:05

And if you hadn't, I'd've insisted.

0:15:050:15:07

BUZZER

0:15:090:15:11

Thanks for seeing us, David.

0:15:120:15:14

No problem.

0:15:140:15:15

Is there any news?

0:15:170:15:19

No. Nothing.

0:15:190:15:20

Course, the police are saying they're not winding down the search,

0:15:220:15:25

but I know for a bloody fact

0:15:250:15:26

all the lads from Berkshire were sent home last night.

0:15:260:15:29

So what's this about?

0:15:290:15:30

Well, we were wondering...

0:15:300:15:33

How would you feel about coming to work at the Lyell for a bit?

0:15:330:15:37

Seriously?

0:15:370:15:39

Yeah. Truth is, Nikki's been off for a while

0:15:390:15:41

and we've been struggling with our workload.

0:15:410:15:44

You've got a backlog?

0:15:460:15:47

-I'm about to install a freezer in my office.

-Right.

0:15:470:15:50

Why me?

0:15:530:15:54

Sally said you were the best.

0:15:540:15:56

And if you're anything like me,

0:15:570:16:00

time on your hands is the last thing you want right now.

0:16:000:16:03

It was just a thought, so please don't feel like...

0:16:050:16:07

Sally said that? About me?

0:16:070:16:09

She said you were bloody good.

0:16:110:16:12

Ah, Jack. David, this is Jack Hodgson.

0:16:250:16:27

Jack. Good to know you.

0:16:270:16:29

How you doing? You all right?

0:16:290:16:30

David's going to help us out for a bit.

0:16:300:16:32

Us?

0:16:340:16:36

As in...you're back?

0:16:360:16:38

He's a colleague of Sally Vaughan's.

0:16:380:16:41

-Right. How long's it been now?

-Hello, stranger.

0:16:410:16:46

-Clarissa! My goodness, it's so good to see you.

-What?

0:16:460:16:50

Did she put you up to this?

0:16:500:16:51

Hang on, what, you two know each other?

0:16:510:16:53

-Hello!

-David!

0:16:530:16:56

Moscow, 2008, the Monarch Hotel.

0:16:560:16:58

-Seven days.

-7,000 Russian criminologists...

0:16:580:17:01

-You're exaggerating.

-..hanging on your every word.

0:17:010:17:03

They wanted to learn from the best. Hello.

0:17:030:17:06

-Good to see you.

-Maybe I should leave you two to it.

0:17:060:17:08

-Will you show him around?

-She can indeed. Let's go.

0:17:080:17:11

See you later. See you in a bit.

0:17:110:17:13

-Welcome to my world.

-Are you having fun here?

0:17:130:17:16

Hello, Jack.

0:17:190:17:21

Hi.

0:17:210:17:23

Good to see you.

0:17:230:17:25

Mmm.

0:17:260:17:27

I've been trying to call you.

0:17:280:17:30

I know.

0:17:320:17:33

-You got my messages, then?

-Mm-hmm.

0:17:330:17:37

So?

0:17:370:17:38

So, uh, it's been full-on since I've been back, it's just been really...

0:17:400:17:43

-Full-on?

-Yeah.

0:17:430:17:45

Fair enough.

0:17:490:17:51

-A few changes, I see.

-Yeah. A few.

0:17:540:17:56

We don't hear a word, then you show up with David bloody Cannon in tow.

0:17:590:18:04

-Is he that bad?

-No, he's great.

0:18:040:18:07

How are you, Nikki?

0:18:070:18:09

Yeah. I'm...getting there.

0:18:090:18:11

Absolutely getting there.

0:18:110:18:14

Right. We've got a job on.

0:18:140:18:17

DCI Pete Hollis, DC Heidi Bailey.

0:18:350:18:39

-Nikki Alexander, David Cannon.

-Hi.

0:18:390:18:42

Body was found floating face-down about 20 yards out.

0:18:580:19:02

Who found him?

0:19:020:19:03

Early fisherman.

0:19:030:19:05

-Did divers bring the body up here?

-Yeah.

0:19:050:19:07

We should supervise a move like that.

0:19:090:19:11

Yeah, I needed to get started.

0:19:110:19:13

Your Jack squared it with the crime scene manager.

0:19:130:19:15

Yeah. Blame me.

0:19:150:19:16

I took lots of pictures.

0:19:170:19:19

Thanks.

0:19:200:19:22

Over to you.

0:19:260:19:27

Got a preliminary ID from his wallet. Livtar Singh.

0:19:320:19:35

Audi in the car park's also registered to him.

0:19:350:19:38

Lovely.

0:19:380:19:39

Thank you.

0:19:420:19:43

Well...

0:19:440:19:46

Looks like he was wearing a head torch,

0:19:480:19:49

the lens of which is broken.

0:19:490:19:51

Alcohol.

0:19:540:19:55

Yeah. Whisky.

0:19:550:19:57

Found it up by the railings.

0:19:570:19:59

I can't see him falling over those railings no matter how drunk he was.

0:19:590:20:02

But we can't rule out that he jumped, can we?

0:20:020:20:05

No, we can't.

0:20:050:20:07

With a bit of Dutch courage to help him on his way.

0:20:070:20:11

Problem.

0:20:110:20:13

Did he smash it in the fall?

0:20:130:20:15

Maybe it was already broken.

0:20:150:20:16

Then why not leave it in the car?

0:20:160:20:18

PHONE RINGTONE: "You Sexy Thing"

0:20:180:20:20

Hold that a sec, would you? Cheers.

0:20:210:20:23

Hello, mate. You all right?

0:20:270:20:29

What do you need?

0:20:310:20:32

Oooh, if you'd asked me three years ago

0:20:360:20:38

I could have told you any number of places.

0:20:380:20:40

Erm...the Wheatsheaf just off the Common.

0:20:420:20:46

I better go.

0:20:460:20:48

Yep. See you later. Ta-ta.

0:20:480:20:51

-Bye-bye.

-Time and place.

0:20:510:20:53

Illuminating?

0:21:290:21:30

Buckfield Services, 11.32pm.

0:21:300:21:34

30 quid's worth of fuel, bottle of Evian,

0:21:340:21:38

two bunches of flowers and a miscellaneous item priced 3.99.

0:21:380:21:42

-No whisky?

-No.

0:21:420:21:44

Bottle of Evian's half-drunk.

0:21:460:21:48

Where are the flowers?

0:21:480:21:50

And who were they for?

0:21:510:21:53

Everything OK?

0:22:000:22:02

Yeah. Thanks.

0:22:020:22:04

-No breakfast.

-Most important meal of the day.

0:22:040:22:09

-There's no sign of the whisky bottle.

-Could be in his coat.

0:22:130:22:16

Yeah, but he's walking steadily. No indication he's drunk.

0:22:160:22:20

Maybe he didn't imbibe until he reached his spot.

0:22:200:22:23

-Do you think that...?

-I think that

0:22:250:22:27

it's always too early to jump to conclusions.

0:22:270:22:30

Sure. OK.

0:22:310:22:34

Thing is, I haven't worked on an actual homicide yet, and...

0:22:360:22:39

So you're kind of hoping that it's murder?

0:22:390:22:42

No!

0:22:420:22:43

No. Of course not, no. I just...

0:22:430:22:46

Mm-hmm.

0:22:460:22:48

My advice? Work backwards.

0:22:480:22:50

Why was he here?

0:22:500:22:52

What did this place mean to him?

0:22:520:22:54

Who else knew he came here?

0:22:540:22:55

Some kind of grey powder, or silt.

0:23:000:23:04

-Uh-huh.

-Yeah, yeah. There's transfer on the brake and accelerator pedal.

0:23:040:23:08

Dried mud in the bag.

0:23:080:23:10

Looks like he switched his shoes for hiking boots...

0:23:100:23:14

Why would you change your shoes and strap a head torch on

0:23:140:23:16

if you're about to end it all?

0:23:160:23:18

I met Livtar at that reservoir.

0:23:240:23:26

We were both sailing instructors.

0:23:280:23:31

He was so great with the kids.

0:23:310:23:33

I didn't have the patience back then.

0:23:340:23:36

There's no way he'd kill himself.

0:23:400:23:43

No way.

0:23:430:23:45

We going to need a formal identification, Emma.

0:23:500:23:53

It's him.

0:23:570:23:58

Thank you.

0:24:000:24:01

This way.

0:24:130:24:14

-Emma, David. Saw you earlier.

-Yes.

0:24:160:24:18

-Can I get you anything?

-No, thank you.

0:24:180:24:21

Would you like to sit down?

0:24:210:24:22

No. I'm fine, thanks.

0:24:220:24:23

Thanks.

0:24:250:24:27

Emma, we were wondering if Livtar was much of a drinker.

0:24:270:24:30

When we first met, every couple of months or so he'd get really drunk.

0:24:340:24:37

I mean, annihilated, actually.

0:24:370:24:41

On what?

0:24:410:24:42

Spirits, mostly.

0:24:420:24:44

It was like a ritual.

0:24:450:24:48

A valve. Something he had to do.

0:24:480:24:50

I didn't like it,

0:24:520:24:53

so when we got married he swore he'd stop.

0:24:530:24:55

And did he?

0:24:550:24:56

Unless you're telling me different?

0:25:000:25:02

No, we're not. We haven't reached any firm conclusions yet.

0:25:020:25:07

Victim was wearing this. Something white embedded in the lens frame.

0:25:070:25:10

-You want an upgrade on "something white"?

-I do.

0:25:100:25:14

-Hello. DC Bailey.

-Good to have Nikki back.

0:25:140:25:16

Bit of a surprise.

0:25:180:25:20

Yeah. Yeah, for me, too.

0:25:210:25:22

You sanctioned it.

0:25:220:25:24

For now. Yeah.

0:25:250:25:27

How'd you think she seems?

0:25:280:25:30

So far, so good - too early to say.

0:25:300:25:34

What's David Cannon like?

0:25:340:25:35

He's a good laugh. I don't really know him.

0:25:350:25:38

It was one week nine - ten? - years ago.

0:25:380:25:41

Miscellaneous item on Livtar's receipt.

0:25:410:25:43

Let me see.

0:25:430:25:45

He was so excited about becoming a dad.

0:25:490:25:52

But when Amy arrived he just seemed...sad.

0:25:540:25:59

Why?

0:25:590:26:01

I dunno...it was like he couldn't enjoy her.

0:26:010:26:04

SOBS

0:26:110:26:12

Sorry.

0:26:120:26:14

Hey, hey, come here.

0:26:140:26:16

It's OK, it's OK.

0:26:160:26:18

PANTING AND GRUNTING

0:26:270:26:30

LIGHTER CLICKS

0:26:430:26:44

Gave up.

0:26:460:26:48

Yeah?

0:26:480:26:49

Since when?

0:26:510:26:52

Two years.

0:26:520:26:54

That how long it's been?

0:26:570:26:59

No. It's been four years.

0:26:590:27:02

Sorry.

0:27:070:27:09

It's all right. You're a busy woman.

0:27:090:27:12

Suspected suicide?

0:27:190:27:21

That's what they said.

0:27:230:27:25

I don't get it.

0:27:260:27:27

He'd just become a father.

0:27:280:27:30

Who knows what goes on in another person's head?

0:27:320:27:35

Ain't that the truth.

0:27:350:27:38

Do you think it's our fault?

0:27:400:27:42

Probably.

0:27:430:27:45

Hope the police didn't find anything untoward.

0:27:460:27:49

Like what?

0:27:500:27:52

I've no idea.

0:27:540:27:56

I've got to go.

0:27:590:28:01

Mrs Singh, before Livtar drove to the reservoir,

0:28:070:28:11

he stopped off at a garage and made some purchases.

0:28:110:28:13

-Right...?

-Among other things, he bought two bunches of flowers

0:28:130:28:16

and a teddy bear.

0:28:160:28:17

We didn't retrieve these items from his car.

0:28:170:28:19

I can't help you...I'm sorry.

0:28:210:28:23

No friends who've just had a baby? Or a child's birthday?

0:28:230:28:27

The journey from the garage to the reservoir was 30 minutes,

0:28:270:28:30

but he didn't get there for an hour. Now if he stopped off somewhere,

0:28:300:28:33

-it explains the missing half-hour and...

-I'm really sorry -

0:28:330:28:35

-I need to go home now.

-Of course. Just one moment.

0:28:350:28:37

-Can I have a word?

-Yeah.

0:28:370:28:39

I need you to escort her home.

0:28:410:28:43

Sir, no! I don't want to miss the PM.

0:28:430:28:45

There'll be plenty more PMs.

0:28:450:28:46

It's the flowers and the toys we need to explain. So take Jack,

0:28:460:28:50

have a nose around,

0:28:500:28:51

hoover up any computers, laptops, phones that you find.

0:28:510:28:54

If she asks any questions, say we're checking

0:28:540:28:56

whether Livtar was in financial difficulties, all right?

0:28:560:28:59

All right. Warrant?

0:28:590:29:01

It's my next call.

0:29:010:29:04

Want to give me a hand?

0:29:110:29:13

-Excuse me. Sorry.

-David?

0:29:140:29:16

What is the matter with that guy?

0:29:170:29:20

It's OK. Want me to assist?

0:29:210:29:24

The rectangular mark on his forehead is from a head torch.

0:29:300:29:33

Camera?

0:29:370:29:39

That and the torch's broken lens

0:29:410:29:44

suggests he struck something head-first with force.

0:29:440:29:48

Torch is being processed for trace.

0:29:500:29:52

There's a champignon de mousse - foam in his throat, pinkish tinge.

0:29:560:30:00

Clear hallmark of drowning.

0:30:000:30:02

Lack of oxygen, myocardial and cerebral anoxia,

0:30:020:30:07

death.

0:30:070:30:08

SIREN

0:30:100:30:12

Hey.

0:30:170:30:18

Hey. Sorry.

0:30:180:30:21

-Sorry.

-It's OK. What happened?

0:30:210:30:23

Just, er, lost it a bit.

0:30:230:30:26

Right.

0:30:270:30:29

Soon as I saw the body bag, all I could think of was...

0:30:320:30:35

..when we unzipped it...

0:30:350:30:38

..it was going to be her inside and not Livtar Singh.

0:30:380:30:40

Sally?

0:30:400:30:42

Sorry.

0:30:430:30:45

OK.

0:30:460:30:48

TV: And now it's time for a news update.

0:30:540:30:56

Police are continuing the hunt for Sally Vaughan,

0:30:560:30:58

who's now been missing for five days.

0:30:580:31:00

At a press conference last night

0:31:000:31:02

detectives from the National Crime Agency

0:31:020:31:04

said they were pursuing a number of active leads

0:31:040:31:07

but refused to say if Dr Vaughan's disappearance

0:31:070:31:10

is being linked to her work as a pathologist.

0:31:100:31:13

In other news...

0:31:130:31:15

Is that really necessary?

0:32:200:32:22

You'll get them all back.

0:32:250:32:27

He... He had a shortfall in the funding.

0:32:330:32:36

His dad could've bridged the gap easily, but...

0:32:380:32:40

..Livtar could never ask for help from anyone,

0:32:410:32:44

-even though he was the first to help others.

-I know the species.

0:32:440:32:48

I found it really hard.

0:32:500:32:51

When you love someone, you want to be there for them, right?

0:32:530:32:56

Right.

0:32:580:32:59

I'll...let you get on.

0:33:020:33:05

Thomas. Tox is back on Livtar Singh.

0:33:110:33:14

Interesting results.

0:33:140:33:16

High levels of alcohol in his stomach contents,

0:33:160:33:18

but almost none in his blood and urine.

0:33:180:33:21

Could he have drowned before it entered his system?

0:33:230:33:25

We'd still expect to find some alcohol in his urine.

0:33:250:33:27

-And the fact you didn't...?

-Suggests the whisky

0:33:270:33:29

was tipped down his throat after he lost consciousness.

0:33:290:33:32

Well, well.

0:33:320:33:34

I think someone tried very hard

0:33:340:33:35

to make Livtar look like the author of his own demise.

0:33:350:33:38

Thank you, Emma.

0:33:420:33:43

Regina vs Henry Drake. Ring a bell?

0:34:030:34:07

No. Why would it?

0:34:070:34:09

Don't worry. We've got a resident expert.

0:34:090:34:12

18 years ago, I worked on the Valerie Drake investigation.

0:34:150:34:19

It was unusual because there was no body,

0:34:190:34:21

but the police were in no doubt her husband Henry Drake had killed her.

0:34:210:34:24

Why were they so sure?

0:34:240:34:25

No other suspects, plus we found traces of her blood

0:34:250:34:27

-and fingernails in the boot of his car.

-Not enough?

0:34:270:34:31

PHONE RINGTONE: You Sexy Thing

0:34:310:34:33

No. Drake had money - and money bought him Morgan Lawson.

0:34:360:34:39

The barrister.

0:34:390:34:41

He kept drumming home the same simple mantra.

0:34:410:34:44

No body, no case. No body, no case.

0:34:440:34:47

Right. Not exactly legal argument, but it stuck

0:34:470:34:50

-and Drake was acquitted.

-So what happened to him?

0:34:500:34:52

Remarried and moved to New Zealand, where he made a fortune in wine.

0:34:520:34:55

Morgan Lawson became one of the highest-paid barristers

0:34:550:34:58

in the country. Karma?

0:34:580:35:00

It's a myth.

0:35:000:35:01

So what do we think of this note?

0:35:030:35:05

It says, "I can make you disappear and get away with it."

0:35:050:35:08

-Threat?

-Maybe.

0:35:080:35:10

The Drake case was national news,

0:35:100:35:12

doesn't exactly narrow down the sender.

0:35:120:35:14

And I've processed the note - no prints except Livtar's own.

0:35:140:35:18

PHONE ALERT

0:35:180:35:20

Bollocks.

0:35:200:35:22

Excuse me. Just going to pop out for five minutes.

0:35:220:35:25

Excuse me.

0:35:290:35:31

Come on, come on...

0:35:370:35:39

-Bernhardt.

-It's Nikki.

0:35:400:35:41

David just got a text and walked out of a police briefing.

0:35:410:35:44

I need you to keep eyes on him.

0:35:440:35:45

-Well, I can't.

-Nikki, please.

0:35:450:35:47

He could be going to find Sally.

0:35:470:35:50

We might not get another chance.

0:35:510:35:53

DOOR CLOSES

0:36:560:36:57

CAMERA CLICKS

0:37:340:37:36

I've been processing the evidence

0:37:400:37:42

you brought back from the Singh house.

0:37:420:37:44

I recovered data from the USB in Livtar's drawer.

0:37:440:37:48

Simplest if I just show you what's on it.

0:37:480:37:50

Who is this woman?

0:37:580:37:59

And who was she to Livtar Singh?

0:37:590:38:02

Flowers and teddy bears...

0:38:040:38:06

Any ideas on location?

0:38:070:38:09

Well, I'm working on the shop fronts visible in the background.

0:38:090:38:12

She's pretty.

0:38:120:38:13

I've also sourced the white fragments

0:38:150:38:18

embedded in Livtar's head torch.

0:38:180:38:20

Barium metaborate.

0:38:200:38:22

-Anti-rust paint?

-Yeah.

0:38:220:38:25

I assumed it was grit from the dam wall.

0:38:250:38:27

Anything painted white at the scene he might've run into?

0:38:270:38:30

Some missing paint chips consistent with Livtar's head torch

0:38:310:38:34

striking the gate.

0:38:340:38:36

Also traces of glass or plastic on the ground.

0:38:360:38:40

-From the head torch...?

-I'll be pissed off if they're not.

0:38:400:38:42

Yeah. I've got to say you've seemed rather pissed off most of the day.

0:38:420:38:45

I should have seen this the first time.

0:38:460:38:48

You've seen it now. That's the important thing.

0:38:480:38:50

It's good.

0:38:500:38:52

So he hits the gate face-first coming from this direction...

0:38:530:38:57

So he was heading back to his car.

0:38:570:38:58

Running back, given the impact.

0:38:580:39:00

And if he was looking round as he ran,

0:39:000:39:02

explains why he didn't see it until it was too late,

0:39:020:39:04

even with a head torch.

0:39:040:39:05

-Begging the question...

-What was he running from?

0:39:050:39:08

I told you. I don't know her.

0:39:160:39:18

Are you sure, Emma?

0:39:180:39:20

Yes, I'm sure.

0:39:200:39:22

Look, what am I doing in a police station?

0:39:220:39:25

I'm sorry, Emma. But you say you don't know this woman.

0:39:250:39:27

You say you don't know why Livtar went off on midnight drives

0:39:270:39:30

or why he bought flowers or teddy bears

0:39:300:39:32

or why he drank whisky back in the day...

0:39:320:39:34

What is your point?

0:39:340:39:36

I'm just trying to find out what happened to your husband.

0:39:380:39:40

You think this wasn't an accident?

0:39:450:39:47

That's why you're in a police station.

0:39:470:39:50

-He's right.

-Huh?

-It's no big deal you missed the gate.

0:39:560:40:00

-Out of character, though.

-I was distracted.

0:40:000:40:03

That's what I mean. Out of character.

0:40:030:40:05

What do you want, Nikki?

0:40:050:40:07

I want to know why you missed the gate.

0:40:070:40:08

-I told you.

-The real reason.

-I missed it cos I was thinking,

0:40:080:40:11

"Why is Nikki back when she's so clearly not ready?"

0:40:110:40:15

How would you know? You haven't seen me in months.

0:40:150:40:18

-Sorry.

-I don't want an apology.

0:40:200:40:23

I just want to understand why. Why you haven't seen me.

0:40:230:40:27

-Why do you think?

-I don't know!

0:40:270:40:29

-It's a genuine question...

-I was supposed...

0:40:290:40:31

I went out there to find you.

0:40:340:40:36

To bring you home.

0:40:380:40:39

I failed.

0:40:390:40:41

Jack...that's nuts.

0:40:430:40:46

You're here. I'm here.

0:40:460:40:49

-We made it. You saved the lives of...

-Please stop.

0:40:490:40:52

Jack, you've got nothing to prove.

0:40:570:41:00

Nothing.

0:41:010:41:02

Get a room!

0:41:040:41:06

Check this out.

0:41:080:41:09

So, came through here.

0:41:190:41:22

Got various broken branches, got trampled ground.

0:41:220:41:25

That gave me a reverse path round to...

0:41:250:41:29

..this.

0:41:300:41:31

I didn't bag it, cos, well, that's your bag.

0:41:330:41:35

You're on fire, David.

0:41:350:41:37

So you say there was a problem with the contractors. Anything specific?

0:41:400:41:43

Not really.

0:41:430:41:45

But they knew he had a launch date that he needed to hit

0:41:450:41:49

and they dragged their heels.

0:41:490:41:50

At the fundraiser I had to leave early

0:41:520:41:54

to take my daughter to an appointment.

0:41:540:41:57

I went to say goodbye to Livtar and I found him

0:41:570:41:59

in the spa with this man who was obviously giving him grief.

0:41:590:42:02

Do you know what about?

0:42:040:42:06

Money, I think.

0:42:060:42:09

Anyway, the guy was dodgy.

0:42:100:42:12

As soon as he saw me coming

0:42:120:42:14

he picked up some plans that were lying around.

0:42:140:42:17

But it was bullshit.

0:42:170:42:19

He was holding them upside down.

0:42:190:42:21

He said something like, "It's one thing asking for money

0:42:210:42:25

"for yourself, but asking for it for her is something else."

0:42:250:42:29

I know it doesn't make any sense.

0:42:300:42:32

Who was the her?

0:42:320:42:33

I don't know.

0:42:350:42:37

And you didn't ask Livtar about it?

0:42:370:42:39

I never got a chance.

0:42:400:42:42

OK. Will do. Thanks, Heidi.

0:42:450:42:47

-Where's Jack?

-Went back to the reservoir.

0:42:490:42:52

Why?

0:42:540:42:55

-Thinks he might've missed something.

-And did he?

0:42:550:42:58

What are you after?

0:43:000:43:01

Clarissa...

0:43:010:43:03

I think he was a bit thrown by Nikki coming back.

0:43:030:43:07

Sally Vaughan must be dragging it all up for her.

0:43:070:43:11

What did you need Jack for?

0:43:120:43:14

Secure some plans from Livtar's club,

0:43:140:43:16

-see if we can lift fingerprints.

-OK. I can do that.

0:43:160:43:20

Right. Good.

0:43:200:43:23

Go carefully - it's still a building site.

0:43:240:43:26

Good day's work. Fancy a beer later?

0:43:290:43:32

Nice offer, but...knackered.

0:43:320:43:35

-OK, raincheck?

-Raincheck.

-Raincheck.

PHONE VIBRATES

0:43:430:43:45

Hello?

0:43:480:43:49

Sally's phone just came back online for 30 seconds.

0:43:490:43:52

-You're kidding!

-Is David Cannon with you?

0:43:520:43:55

Yes.

0:43:560:43:58

The phone pinged a mast in North Kent.

0:43:580:44:00

One mast means no exact location, but Cannon's definitely with you?

0:44:000:44:04

-Yes.

-Great. Thanks, Nikki.

0:44:040:44:06

Just the one, then.

0:44:110:44:12

Yeah.

0:44:120:44:14

Can I help you with something?

0:45:090:45:11

You do know you're on private property?

0:45:110:45:14

Excuse me.

0:45:190:45:20

OK, so we've traced the signal from Sally's phone to a farm.

0:45:350:45:39

Angus Merrick. Why do I know that name?

0:45:430:45:46

Shit.

0:45:490:45:50

He's not going to come quietly.

0:45:500:45:52

-Mobilise Firearms, be discreet.

-Sir.

0:45:530:45:57

Well, it's really good of you to help us out, David.

0:46:000:46:02

Don't be daft. You're helping me.

0:46:020:46:05

I was worried about you earlier.

0:46:050:46:07

-Why?

-You disappeared again.

0:46:080:46:11

Did I?

0:46:110:46:12

Yeah, yeah, I went to see... Gwen Blair. Our lab technician.

0:46:130:46:17

-I thought maybe she'd have some news about Sally.

-Did she?

0:46:170:46:21

Did you and Sally see each other much outside of work?

0:46:260:46:29

No. Not lately.

0:46:290:46:31

Used to. When I got divorced...

0:46:310:46:33

She's a bloody good listener.

0:46:330:46:36

Yeah, she is.

0:46:360:46:38

Can I tell you something?

0:46:380:46:40

In confidence.

0:46:400:46:41

Sure.

0:46:410:46:43

When I last saw Sally...

0:46:440:46:46

..we argued.

0:46:460:46:48

Right.

0:46:480:46:50

Well, Jack and I fight sometimes.

0:46:520:46:54

No, I mean a proper, full-on, stand-up row.

0:46:540:46:56

About what?

0:46:560:46:58

About the lab. You know she was selling the lab.

0:46:580:47:01

And I wanted her to make it over to me.

0:47:020:47:05

She'd be a sleeping partner.

0:47:050:47:06

She could keep her hand in if she wanted...

0:47:060:47:08

-That doesn't sound like a terrible idea.

-No, it wasn't.

0:47:080:47:10

She thought it was.

0:47:100:47:11

And that's what you rowed about?

0:47:110:47:13

Yeah. We made the lab together.

0:47:130:47:15

You know, I did everything to help her with it.

0:47:150:47:18

But she owned it all on paper. Every brick.

0:47:180:47:20

She could be stubborn.

0:47:200:47:22

Yeah. So can I, believe me.

0:47:220:47:25

I should've let it drop.

0:47:260:47:28

-I didn't have the right.

-Did you tell the police?

0:47:280:47:30

Of course.

0:47:320:47:33

And they said the same - I shouldn't beat myself up about it.

0:47:330:47:36

I'm going to nip to the loo. Excuse me.

-Hello?

-Hi, Nikki, it's Bernhardt.

0:48:220:48:24

Listen. The woman that Cannon met earlier -

0:48:240:48:27

she gave him a map of Sally's village.

0:48:270:48:29

We traced her phone to a farm in Kent.

0:48:290:48:32

Angus Merrick - ring any bells?

0:48:320:48:34

No.

0:48:340:48:36

His brother Craig was killed in a high-speed police chase last year.

0:48:360:48:39

Angus blamed them and then didn't want a pathologist

0:48:390:48:42

adding insult to injury by cutting up his brother.

0:48:420:48:44

Sally did the postmortem?

0:48:440:48:46

Sorry, I'm going to have to go. I'll call you back.

0:48:460:48:49

Thanks. Bye.

0:48:490:48:50

Everything OK?

Yeah. Sorry, where were we?

-All right?

-What brings you here?

0:49:450:49:47

Fancy a couple of rounds yourself?

0:49:470:49:50

I've got a slot Friday night.

0:49:500:49:53

Yeah. Why not?

0:49:550:49:57

Angus Merrick!

0:50:170:50:19

We just want to talk, Angus.

0:50:550:50:57

Yeah - like you wanted to talk to my brother!

0:50:570:51:00

We need to know Sally's safe.

0:51:020:51:04

I don't know any Sally!

-No, but we've got him.

0:53:110:53:13

How do you know it's him?

0:53:130:53:14

Merrick had her phone. Blood on the screen matches Sally's.

0:53:140:53:17

Christ.

0:53:190:53:20

David Cannon was a blind alley - sorry.

0:53:210:53:24

I've ID'd the man Emma saw arguing with Livtar.

0:53:370:53:40

Gary Hadlow - loan shark and bouncer.

0:53:400:53:43

He was at the club yesterday - I saw him.

0:53:430:53:46

-What were you doing there?

-My job.

0:53:460:53:48

-Why were his prints on file?

-He has form for GBH.

0:53:480:53:51

I've been over Livtar's phone records -

0:53:510:53:54

there's calls to and from Hadlow's mobile in the past month.

0:53:540:53:58

Loan shark?

0:53:580:54:00

We know Livtar had some issues with some contractors.

0:54:000:54:03

Sir, we should bring Hadlow in now.

0:54:030:54:05

And hit him with what? Making phone calls?

0:54:050:54:08

We can't even place him at the reservoir.

0:54:080:54:10

No - but somebody breached that fence.

0:54:100:54:12

This snagged material contains neoprene, a synthetic rubber.

0:54:120:54:17

Neoprene finger ridges are found in army tactical gloves.

0:54:170:54:21

-It was a good find.

-David's find. I just ran it.

0:54:210:54:24

Don't...don't we need to focus on the gap between

0:54:240:54:27

Livtar leaving the service station and getting to the reservoir?

0:54:270:54:30

Where did he go in that half an hour?

0:54:300:54:32

What did he do with the flowers and the toy?

0:54:320:54:34

We might have a few ideas about that.

0:54:340:54:36

Clarissa looked at the grey powder on the bottom of Livtar's shoes.

0:54:360:54:39

It's significantly degraded amorphous carbon.

0:54:390:54:42

Ash, basically.

0:54:420:54:44

Would you do me the honours?

0:54:440:54:46

Given the limits of where Livtar could've gone in 30 minutes,

0:54:460:54:48

we have a best guess.

0:54:480:54:51

-Yeah, it's the globe, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Here you go.

0:54:510:54:54

Maitland Salt Factory, which burned to the ground in '85.

0:54:540:54:58

Necklace is quite distinctive.

0:55:550:55:57

Might help with the ID.

Livtar knew where they were buried.
