0:00:14 > 0:00:16CHURCH BELL TOLLS

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Leah?

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Two minutes past six.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21- I'm impressed.- One word - why?

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah, she's hot. My mate reckons she's a selkie.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33- A what?- A selkie. A seal who takes a beautiful human form.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34- A seal?- Yeah.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37They come on shore when there's a problem they need to sort out.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39They're mostly found off the coast of Scotland.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Did you learn that in biology?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44No. I didn't say that I think she's a selkie.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Well, it's definitely a mystery.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49This is the PM report of a female corpse

0:02:49 > 0:02:52that floated into Brixham seven months ago.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54She was formally identified as Leah Walker.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- How?- DNA match.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58I didn't think two people could have the same DNA.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01No, they can't - well, unless they're identical twins -

0:03:01 > 0:03:03but Leah was an only child.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07- Right. So...?- So, we've got a big question to answer.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Is the person who walked out of the sea really Leah Walker?

0:03:12 > 0:03:13Try again.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Who was buried in Leah's place?

0:03:16 > 0:03:17- There we go.- Right.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Good morning.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28OK, can you bring her over to the mortuary?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Oh, my days.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41No way...

0:03:41 > 0:03:42I know it's you!

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Beth!

0:03:46 > 0:03:49So, this is what you look like at 6am.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Hilarious(!)

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Hi, Clint.- Beth.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55So, is there a body in Leah's grave, then?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- As if we're going to tell you... - Yeah.- Clint!- Sorry.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01So, a seal really has stolen Leah's skin?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Your face! Did you honestly think I'd believe that rubbish?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Was there anything else, before you go home?

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Yeah. Have you ever declared someone dead while they're still alive?

0:04:12 > 0:04:15No. It should never happen.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23You were all on your boat, moored off Bolt Head.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26Your parents were asleep and you went for a swim.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27- Yes.- At 1am?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I love swimming at night.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32We always made her well aware of the risks.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I remember lying on my back,

0:04:34 > 0:04:36my head in the water,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39looking up at this amazing, clear sky.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Then suddenly, the water started shaking.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49I lifted my head and there was a boat right there,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52headed straight for me.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53And then...

0:04:55 > 0:04:57..the stars, everything...

0:04:57 > 0:04:58It just went black.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03All right. And what's the next thing you remember?

0:05:05 > 0:05:07This.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Her memory seems to be resetting itself every few hours.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15OK, let me get this straight.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18You remember everything up until being hit on the head a year ago,

0:05:18 > 0:05:19but nothing since?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23When we first saw her, she said she'd been close to the sea.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Did I?- You said it had been dark and you could hear waves.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Waves?

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Right.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32And you have absolutely no recollection

0:05:32 > 0:05:36as to how you washed up on Lighthaven beach two days ago?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Sorry.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Show him your arms, Leah.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Any idea how you got those?

0:05:50 > 0:05:52No.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54They don't hurt.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56OK. Thanks.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06We need to know what happened to her.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I understand. We'll do our best, Mrs Walker.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13So, we can expect a formal apology in due course, can we?

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- Well, I'm sure the coroner will be in touch...- I mean, from you!

0:06:17 > 0:06:18I'm sorry?

0:06:18 > 0:06:21For the harassment and insinuation you subjected us to last summer.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Peter...- See, we were going through hell...

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Mr Walker...- ..but that didn't stop you lot, did it?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Muckraking your way through every facet of our lives.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I bet you wish you'd spent a bit longer trying to find Leah now.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33With all due respect, sir,

0:06:33 > 0:06:35you and your wife were the last people to see Leah.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38We needed to understand the nature of your relationship with her.

0:06:38 > 0:06:43- Now, I can understand...- Hang on, our relationship with our daughter has always been first class!

0:06:43 > 0:06:45You'd better find out who did this.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57I'm in total shock, Jane. I've got to be honest.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Yeah? So are Leah's parents.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Seven months ago, you told my predecessor

0:07:00 > 0:07:02it was their daughter on the slab.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I had a DNA match.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06The lab must have mixed up the samples.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Come on. We both know how unlikely that is.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Well, I can't think what else it could be.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Look, I was stressed, OK? Fiona and I...

0:07:20 > 0:07:22..our IVF had just failed. The fourth cycle.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Unless you've been through it...

0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's not an excuse,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29but my mind was scrambled.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32What I'm saying is, it could have been my mistake.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34I might have mixed up the samples myself.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- How are you feeling now? - A lot better.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Fiona and I gave it one more go and...

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Well, success.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- When's the baby due?- Four weeks.

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Congratulations.

0:07:52 > 0:07:56I'm guessing you're going to have to file a report?

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Yes.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Look, I know I don't deserve it, but go easy on me?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Fiona and I are going to need the money more than ever now.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Dark place, somewhere near the sea.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26You got any ideas?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Lighthaven Swingers Club?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Oh, you're a member too, then?

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Needle in a haystack job, is it? - It's worse than that, actually.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38It's like I'm looking for a haystack that a needle used to be in.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Right, what can I do for you? No, don't tell me.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43You want to use my missing persons database.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46You've forgotten your password and you locked yourself out.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48What can I tell you? I'm a detective genius.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Clint called you.- He did.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55You got anything to go on yet, with your corpse?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Angela? No, nothing yet. - You've given her a name?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- Yeah. Is that Leah's medical report? - Yeah.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08"Early diagnosis, anterograde amnesia".

0:09:08 > 0:09:11Yeah, or in layman's terms, chronic short-term memory loss.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13It's like she remembers everything up until

0:09:13 > 0:09:15the point of being hit on her head, but nothing since.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Her memory keeps resetting.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Like Dory in Finding Nemo?

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yeah - or me, after three pints of Mick's scrumpy.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26It's a bit...convenient, isn't it?

0:09:26 > 0:09:29I thought that. Then I looked at the results.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33Fractured skull.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Now, it has healed over,

0:09:34 > 0:09:37but it wasn't there before she went off the boat.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41And she's got a whole chemist's worth of diazepam in her system.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Good for depression. Not great for short-term memory.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yeah. Well, if the diazepam is responsible

0:09:46 > 0:09:48for her short-term memory loss,

0:09:48 > 0:09:50then, hopefully, the effects will be wearing off by now.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's a sedative, isn't it?

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Kind of fits, because, wherever Leah's been,

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I don't think she was there by choice.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59You think she was held against her will?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Look, there it is.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05"Indentations on the subject's wrists

0:10:05 > 0:10:09"suggest prolonged restraint by metallic instrument."

0:10:09 > 0:10:11I'd love to come up with another theory.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13How was she, when she disappeared?

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Messed up her life.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Split up with her boyfriend, failed her A-levels.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Sounds like most of the girls I knew at 18.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22The boyfriend, you obviously chased up...

0:10:22 > 0:10:24- In America, yeah.- The parents?

0:10:24 > 0:10:26She was an only child. They're academics.

0:10:26 > 0:10:30Prefer stones to people, you know the type.

0:10:30 > 0:10:31Funny, though -

0:10:31 > 0:10:34cos I could have sworn they were holding something back last summer.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Really?- Hmm.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Not that it matters now, though.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I'm dusting off the "known psychopath" file

0:10:40 > 0:10:42for this one, aren't I?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46WAVE RECORDING PLAYS

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Nothing. Sorry.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I don't want to do this any more. - OK.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Peter?

0:11:03 > 0:11:05RECORDING STOPS

0:11:05 > 0:11:07- Leah, if you do think of anything... - I know.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Mum... Why have you got a stick?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20You've told me already.

0:11:21 > 0:11:22Sorry.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27I've got cancer, darling.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Is it serious?

0:11:30 > 0:11:31Yeah.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Did you get it because of worrying about me?

0:11:35 > 0:11:37I was just unlucky.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39But the important thing is that, having you back,

0:11:39 > 0:11:41I feel so much better.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45DOORBELL RINGS

0:11:50 > 0:11:52I thought you'd taken your own life.

0:11:53 > 0:11:54We both did.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59Because of what was happening to you and...

0:11:59 > 0:12:01what we said.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- DOOR SHUTS - Come on through. She's in here.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Leah?

0:12:07 > 0:12:09Someone to see you.

0:12:14 > 0:12:15My lord...

0:12:17 > 0:12:18You remember your godfather, Tim?

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Of course.

0:12:20 > 0:12:22I hope she does! I never missed a birthday.

0:12:24 > 0:12:25Come here, you.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37And it's lovely to see you both.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39Mmm?

0:12:39 > 0:12:42There's a do for Leah Walker later, up at the Sailing Club.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- I've got to work, love. - But I want to go.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Here. Scotch Wendy reckons there's male selkies, as well.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54These male selkies come onshore and seek out sexually unsatisfied women.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57They're completely irresistible and totally insatiable.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58Isn't that right, Mick?

0:12:58 > 0:13:01What can I say? I've been rumbled.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18So, Angela, you were Caucasian,

0:13:18 > 0:13:20somewhere between 17 and 19.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Most likely cause of death, drowning.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Signs of a slight curvature in the spine.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Not yet managed to get a DNA sample from you,

0:13:32 > 0:13:33but that's normally a problem

0:13:33 > 0:13:35when you've been in damp soil for a while.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42So, here's what's confusing - you're five foot three.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45That's three inches shorter than Leah Walker.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49So, of all the people that George Flemington examined,

0:13:49 > 0:13:51why did he get you so wrong?

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- Mum, hurry up!- Oh! No! Not over that!

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Thanks for that!- What? How is that my fault?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00The party started half an hour ago, by the way.

0:14:00 > 0:14:01Yes, all right!

0:14:25 > 0:14:27- All right?- Hey.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29What are you doing here? I thought you were working.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Beth insisted.- Beth?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34She and Mum are a bit obsessed with the miracle girl.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Right. And you have absolutely no interest whatsoever, right?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41She's alive, isn't she? Why would I be?

0:14:41 > 0:14:43That's right, I forgot. Of course.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Where's Annette?

0:14:45 > 0:14:48Oh, you know - EastEnders is on tonight, isn't it?

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Ah.- DS Higgins?

0:14:51 > 0:14:52Yeah, that's right.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Tim Morris. We met last summer.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Yeah, Leah.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58Right.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02So, what do you think? Where's she been?

0:15:04 > 0:15:07We're investigating a couple of avenues, you know?

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Well, I'm very glad that you and your beautiful wife could make it.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I'm...not his wife.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19Aren't you?

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Well, then...have fun.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30He's such an idiot.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35So, are you getting anywhere?

0:15:35 > 0:15:38We've identified a couple of males in the area.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Both out of prison in the last two years,

0:15:40 > 0:15:42both with previous that suggests they're capable of kidnap.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44So, I'll give them a visit tomorrow.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48I just got a flashback, then.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Ian Twitchett's 18th birthday party.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53We were standing right here.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57You don't remember?

0:15:57 > 0:15:58No.

0:16:01 > 0:16:02Course I do!

0:16:03 > 0:16:05We were going through everyone at the party,

0:16:05 > 0:16:08predicting where they'd be in 20 years' time.

0:16:12 > 0:16:14I'll go and get a drink.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Yeah, I could use one myself.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Hello, Leah.- Hi.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Sorry, have we...?- I'm Beth. I moved here not long ago.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Oh. Right.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Look, if you ever want to chat, you know,

0:16:31 > 0:16:35- to someone who's not the police, or someone in a white coat...- Thanks.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42There is something about her, isn't there?

0:16:42 > 0:16:43Yeah.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Hey, I wonder if she used to surf.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50What's he doing here?

0:16:50 > 0:16:54His wife's about to drop. It's his last night out this decade.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55All right, George?

0:16:57 > 0:17:00Blimey. That's not his first drink of the evening.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02He's got a nerve.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Maybe he's come to say sorry. - "Sorry"?

0:17:04 > 0:17:07George is a good man. He's in my Black Dog darts team.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09He screwed up, big time.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Don't hang the bloke.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13You never messed things up and regretted it straightaway?

0:17:13 > 0:17:14I know I have.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Please don't tell me what to think.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29I used to do a lot of boarding, actually - at my school.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Cool. Where did you go?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32St Tristan's.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35St Tristan's does surfing?

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I thought you were all just a bunch of swots there.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Oh! BOARDING school. Right!

0:17:43 > 0:17:46Wait... St Tristan's is, like, ten miles from here.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50Why were you boarding there, if you live here?

0:17:50 > 0:17:53My parents are into two things - their jobs and each other.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55I just got in the way.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Hi, Clint. Want to grab a drink?

0:17:57 > 0:17:59I'm fine, thanks.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01That's my boss.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04- Hello. I'm Jane. Welcome back. - Jane's a coroner.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07She's trying to work out who was buried in your grave.

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Right.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Well, it was nice to meet you, Clint. Bye.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Too much information?

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Don't worry about it.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21In an hour, she'll forget she ever met you.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Leah. Leah! They're going to laugh at you.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Do you want them to laugh at you?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Leah, please!

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Stop being such a child! I am sorry.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Get off me!

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Can we just talk about it?

0:19:03 > 0:19:04Leah!

0:19:07 > 0:19:10MUSIC PLAYS

0:19:37 > 0:19:39- That was a great party, Gina. - Thank you.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hey. You all right?

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Yeah. Why shouldn't I be?

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Just asking.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Thought you went ages ago, George!

0:19:46 > 0:19:50- I forgot something. - Mind scrambled again?

0:19:50 > 0:19:51- Bit harsh, isn't it?- Fair.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55You need to hear this.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- What's that, Mr Walker? - Leah's remembered something.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58Leah?

0:20:00 > 0:20:01It's the painting.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Leah?- I've seen this recently.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09You mean, since your accident?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13- This exact picture?- Yes.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16Did you see it here?

0:20:16 > 0:20:17No.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21It was in a room.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22MAN BREATHES HEAVILY

0:20:22 > 0:20:24There were no windows.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26There was an orange lamp.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28GIRL'S SOBBING ECHOES

0:20:33 > 0:20:37MUSIC: I'm Not The Only One by Sam Smith

0:20:42 > 0:20:44KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Morning.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Morning.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Mind if I turn this down?- Well...

0:20:50 > 0:20:55Right, so last night, I went to see that artist that did the painting.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Turns out he lives in Westchurch.

0:20:57 > 0:20:59Do you know it's 7.30?

0:20:59 > 0:21:02Yeah. Anyway... Helpful bloke.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Gave me a list of people that he knows that bought the prints.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Tim Morris has one?- Yup.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

0:21:13 > 0:21:15You don't think he kidnapped Leah, though, do you?

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Well, it might be worth checking out,

0:21:17 > 0:21:19especially since you heard them rowing.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Gina Morris would have noticed. - Not necessarily.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Right, have a look at this.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Tim Morris's holiday homes.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30All in the South Hams. I got it off the internet.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32You have been a busy boy.

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Have a look at this one.

0:21:35 > 0:21:37According to the lettings agent's website,

0:21:37 > 0:21:40it was taken off the market last summer. It's being "upgraded".

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Now, I can't get a search warrant with what I've got.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46And the lettings agent guy, he knows me.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48You want me to get the keys?

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Well, you've got a lower profile than I have around here, no offence.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53And a nicer pair of pins.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Come on, what do you say? You can come with me, if you like?

0:21:57 > 0:21:59All right, I'll get dressed.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05Nice one, Davey.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Jane!

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Not exactly a dungeon, is it?

0:23:02 > 0:23:04More like a love nest.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Davey.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22They can't find Tim Morris?

0:23:22 > 0:23:25No. I was the last one to see him head out of the Sailing Club.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28- So, what's this lead on Angela? - Ah, French girl.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Isabelle Freres. 19.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Got on a ferry at Roscoff in June last year, no record of her since.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35And check out the height.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38Ah, five foot three. Look at you, Sherlock.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42- OK, let's get her records sent through from France.- OK.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Leah, is this where you were?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03I'll kill him.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Come on.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12She wasn't faking it, so I've doubled up the team out looking for Morris.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14I'm getting that face.

0:24:14 > 0:24:15What face?

0:24:15 > 0:24:17I don't make that face!

0:24:19 > 0:24:22So what you're saying is, Morris kidnapped Leah

0:24:22 > 0:24:24- after he hit her with the boat? - Yeah.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Did he hit her deliberately? - Possibly.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30- So she'd lose her memory? - No. He got lucky there.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33My point is, he would have kidnapped her whatever.

0:24:33 > 0:24:35I didn't hear waves from that basement?

0:24:35 > 0:24:39All I know is, something really bad happened to Leah down there.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42Her memory comes back and Morris does a runner. How does that look to you?

0:24:42 > 0:24:44Not good for Morris.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Do I really make that face?

0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Any joy identifying your skeleton? - Fingers crossed.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52There's a French girl. She's the right age.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54MOBILE PHONE Hello, Sylvie?

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yeah, I know. You're all right.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02You're kidding.

0:25:14 > 0:25:18Forensics reckon he's been dead between eight and 14 hours.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22- They think he was pushed, hit his head on that.- Ouch.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25Maybe they didn't want him to finish this.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28"Dear Peter and Molly, this is the hardest note..."

0:25:28 > 0:25:31I didn't think people wrote letters any more.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34I guess they do if it's important. Any sign of forced entry?

0:25:34 > 0:25:37No. I think he knew the killer pretty well.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40He must have dropped this in the struggle.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Do you know who it belongs to?

0:25:43 > 0:25:44I do.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I left that phone...

0:26:17 > 0:26:19in my jacket pocket.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26When I took my jacket from the cloakroom at the end of the evening,

0:26:26 > 0:26:28it wasn't there. It was gone.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31There were no-one else's fingerprints on it.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38You're loving this, aren't you?

0:26:39 > 0:26:41You've dreamed of having me here.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43No, not really.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47- So where did you go after the party? - Home.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50With Molly and Leah.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53Molly went to bed.

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Leah and I talked.- All night?

0:26:56 > 0:26:58There was a lot to talk about.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Now, Mr Walker...

0:27:01 > 0:27:03..I don't have kids.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07But I do understand how angry you must feel.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10And so will a judge, so I think, if you confess now,

0:27:10 > 0:27:13you'll probably have the whole of Devon on your side.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Why would I have killed Tim?

0:27:19 > 0:27:22Last night, he was still my best friend.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Yes!

0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Someone else die?- No. No!

0:27:31 > 0:27:35Some clever scientist has managed to get usable DNA from a corpse.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38- How perfectly charming. - I don't want people to die, Mick.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- No, but it keeps you in a job, don't it?- Well, yes.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48So if Tim Morris was killed on his boat,

0:27:48 > 0:27:51how come that house of his is a crime scene?

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Which house?- Skylight.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to tell you, would I, Mick?

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- That's all right. I reckon I could guess.- Go on, then.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05- That was Morris' love palace. - What do you mean?

0:28:05 > 0:28:07You know, where he took all his "other women".

0:28:07 > 0:28:11Morris was a player, Jane. You must have worked that one out.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Where's all this come from? - John "the Join".

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Does odd carpentry jobs for Morris. Did, I should say.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21On his holiday lets and the like.

0:28:21 > 0:28:24Apparently, Morris stopped renting out Skylight last summer.

0:28:24 > 0:28:28Every time John's been in since, he reckons he can smell perfume.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30- Really?- Mm.

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Not only that, but different perfume every time.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41Jane Kennedy from the Coroner's Office. I need to speak to Leah.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47She's gone.

0:28:47 > 0:28:48Where?

0:28:48 > 0:28:49I don't know.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Well, do you know when she'll be back?

0:28:53 > 0:28:55She left a note.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05- What did she take with her? - Just her bike.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10That girl has absolutely nothing to be sorry about.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17I've been the worst mother I could be.

0:29:18 > 0:29:21Molly, did anything happen between you and Leah last summer?

0:29:21 > 0:29:25Any problem you and your husband didn't tell the police about?

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Please. It could help us find her.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33She came to us,

0:29:33 > 0:29:34me and Peter...

0:29:34 > 0:29:37a week before she disappeared.

0:29:39 > 0:29:40She was pregnant.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44A one-night thing, you know, but...

0:29:44 > 0:29:47Leah had made up her mind to keep the baby.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50And what did you say?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56I wasn't sympathetic...

0:29:57 > 0:29:59..at all.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Neither of us were.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05She'd just messed up her A-levels.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09We'd spent a lot of money on her.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13We said some terrible, terrible things.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16Just when she needed us most.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- What is it? - Leah wasn't held in Skylight.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33I've just spoken to a carpenter who swears he's been in and out of there all year.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37That doesn't change anything. Peter Walker probably killed Tim Morris. I need to speak to Leah.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40- She's his alibi. - Davey, she's run away.- What?

0:30:40 > 0:30:44You were right. Her parents were holding something back last summer.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54All right, Sarge?

0:30:55 > 0:30:57- No sign of anyone.- Right.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Is that it?

0:31:08 > 0:31:10TRAIN TOOTS

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Leah?

0:32:03 > 0:32:05MOBILE PHONE

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Hi, Beth. You OK?

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Are you sure it's her?

0:32:13 > 0:32:15OK, Beth, do not let her out of your sight.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17It's really important. Do you understand?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20We'll be there as soon as we can. OK, love. Bye.

0:32:21 > 0:32:22Davey!

0:32:23 > 0:32:25She's in Kingsport.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32MOBILE PHONE

0:33:18 > 0:33:20CAR SCREECHES TO A HALT

0:33:25 > 0:33:27I can't see you, Beth. Where are you?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Hurry up.

0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Hurry up!- I see you.

0:33:50 > 0:33:51Nice one, Beth.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57What do we do now?

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Water taxi! Water taxi, I need your boat.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17Stay here.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Doesn't this thing go any faster? - Six knots only on the river.

0:34:42 > 0:34:45Look, they're heading for that gin palace over there.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Where am I going to find the girl, mate?

0:34:55 > 0:34:57- You're going to find her in two. - Room two?- Room two.

0:34:57 > 0:34:59Fine. Thanks.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02She's in room two, apparently.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Either that or he's telling me to get me off his boat.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06It's down there.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Look, do you want to go and get her? - Why?

0:35:10 > 0:35:13I don't know. You're a mother. You've got a daughter.

0:35:14 > 0:35:15OK.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28Hello again.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31Mind if I sit down?

0:35:37 > 0:35:40Bit compact, but I guess you get used to it.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45I see they kept your things for you.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50There was never anything wrong with your memory, was there?

0:35:51 > 0:35:54Did Tim always take you to Skylight to do it?

0:35:56 > 0:35:59He got you pregnant, didn't he?

0:36:06 > 0:36:09Come on, Leah, you can't keep running.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19Tim said, if I had the baby, his life would be over.

0:36:19 > 0:36:20He was threatening me.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24So I finally decided to tell my parents.

0:36:24 > 0:36:26That was a big deal, right?

0:36:26 > 0:36:28We weren't close.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30All right, then what?

0:36:30 > 0:36:32They lost it too.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35I didn't even mention Tim.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37Mum just went off on this rant

0:36:37 > 0:36:40about how having me young was her "biggest mistake".

0:36:40 > 0:36:42That I'd cost her a "stellar" career.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46But at least she had an education.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48I've already messed mine up.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51And Dad...

0:36:51 > 0:36:53just...

0:36:53 > 0:36:55sat there.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59I never felt like they particularly needed me.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02But in that moment...

0:37:02 > 0:37:04I felt like I barely existed.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09All I could think was that, maybe when I was dead,

0:37:09 > 0:37:11they would finally appreciate me.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15- But you didn't kill yourself. - I couldn't.

0:37:16 > 0:37:19Not with a baby inside me.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21So you got yourself a job on this boat.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23And you called yourself...

0:37:23 > 0:37:25Sally Jefferies.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Where do you go on this thing?

0:37:28 > 0:37:29Everywhere.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34Someone at school videoed my funeral.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36Put it on YouTube.

0:37:36 > 0:37:37I watched it.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41It was horrible.

0:37:42 > 0:37:44My parents...

0:37:44 > 0:37:46seeing them like that.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49I hardly recognised them.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52I think that's why I miscarried.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Didn't you want to go back then and there?

0:37:57 > 0:37:58Yes.

0:37:58 > 0:38:00But I was scared.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03And embarrassed.

0:38:03 > 0:38:05So you hid on the boat?

0:38:07 > 0:38:10My dad has a Facebook page.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12Mostly for his students.

0:38:13 > 0:38:15One day he put this message on

0:38:15 > 0:38:18saying that Mum had got some bad news from the doctors.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21I knew he meant she was dying.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24So I decided to come back.

0:38:26 > 0:38:30Oleg, the boat owner, said we'd be back in Devon in two months.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34But I needed some kind of a story,

0:38:34 > 0:38:37so I bought some handcuffs and slept in them every night.

0:38:37 > 0:38:40- And I started taking pills. - What about the fractured skull?

0:38:40 > 0:38:43A few weeks after I came on board, I was jumping off the boat

0:38:43 > 0:38:45and I hit the side.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48I really did have to be fished out the water.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Tim treated you badly over the baby. I get that.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53But...framing him for kidnap?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58Tim and I only actually had sex once.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03And it was...

0:39:03 > 0:39:04What?

0:39:06 > 0:39:07I liked him.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10But I wasn't ready.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14I told him, but he...

0:39:15 > 0:39:17..insisted.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21It was my first time.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24I thought that's what it was like.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29And this was in that basement?

0:39:30 > 0:39:33I grew up a lot on this boat.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38When I confronted Tim at the party,

0:39:38 > 0:39:41I expected some remorse or...

0:39:41 > 0:39:43guilt or something.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46You know what you did, Tim.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48Darling, you came to that house alone.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51- What did you expect? What did you think was going to happen?- Not that!

0:39:51 > 0:39:53- I'm going to the police.- Leah.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56Leah! They'll laugh at you. Do you want them to laugh at you?

0:39:56 > 0:39:58Leah!

0:39:58 > 0:40:00That was when I decided he had to pay.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03And he did.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Has my dad confessed?

0:40:19 > 0:40:22Not the greatest day of Peter Walker's life.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25Yes. I've just been handed these, actually.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29I think his fortunes might be about to turn a corner.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Davey?

0:40:35 > 0:40:38You always said it was taking its toll, George.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41The IVF.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Wasn't the stress, though, was it?

0:40:45 > 0:40:48- It was the cash. - Sorry, mate, you've lost me.

0:40:48 > 0:40:50Your bank statements...mate.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53You're skint.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Erm...what's this about?

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Tim Morris knew, though, didn't he?

0:40:58 > 0:41:00Sailing Club grapevine.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04And he was pretty sure he was the reason Leah had committed suicide.

0:41:04 > 0:41:07Seeing Peter and Molly suffering every day, that made it worse,

0:41:07 > 0:41:09so he made you an offer.

0:41:09 > 0:41:12A body for the Walkers to grieve over in exchange for

0:41:12 > 0:41:15as many IVF treatments as you needed. You couldn't resist.

0:41:15 > 0:41:18Sorry...what exactly are you...?

0:41:18 > 0:41:22The money trail, George. It's all here. Tim, you, the IVF clinic.

0:41:24 > 0:41:28Everything would have been great until Leah came back to life.

0:41:28 > 0:41:32At the party, Tim was convinced she was going to accuse him of rape.

0:41:32 > 0:41:33You panicked.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36He told you he was going to admit his affair with Leah

0:41:36 > 0:41:38to Peter and Molly, try and legitimise the situation,

0:41:38 > 0:41:41so he went back to his boat to write a letter, but you knew

0:41:41 > 0:41:44the police heat on Morris would expose your collaboration

0:41:44 > 0:41:47and you weren't going to miss the birth of your first child.

0:41:48 > 0:41:50I'm going to go to prison.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53George, right now, you are the last thing I'm bothered about.

0:41:53 > 0:41:55Tim...

0:41:55 > 0:41:57please!

0:42:02 > 0:42:03George!

0:42:10 > 0:42:13Must have been terrifying, George.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16But somehow you were calm enough to go back to the cloakroom

0:42:16 > 0:42:19at the Sailing Club, and you took Peter Walker's mobile phone

0:42:19 > 0:42:21from his coat pocket.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25A man about to find out his best friend had seduced his daughter.

0:42:26 > 0:42:27And you framed him.

0:42:35 > 0:42:39George Flemington, I'm arresting you for the murder of Tim Morris.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57I am so sorry.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05I think your mum and I have...

0:43:07 > 0:43:11..I don't know, done a very bad job of showing how much we care.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19Damn!

0:43:26 > 0:43:30- There's a place in my darts team if you fancy it?- Tempting!

0:43:32 > 0:43:33What's up?

0:43:33 > 0:43:36I've just heard back from Interpol. Angela's DNA didn't match.

0:43:36 > 0:43:40- What, with that French girl? - No. With anyone in the world.
