0:00:09 > 0:00:12CHURCH BELL RINGS RHYTHMICALLY

0:00:18 > 0:00:19SIREN WAILS

0:00:52 > 0:00:53CHURCH BELL CONTINUES TO RING

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Goodnight. I'll see you later.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Mrs Blake?

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Cec. Have you seen Lucien?

0:01:04 > 0:01:07No, ma'am. Do you want me to call him for you?

0:01:07 > 0:01:11No. No. Thank you. Good evening.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22Hello!

0:01:25 > 0:01:26Anyone still here?

0:01:28 > 0:01:29CHURCH BELL RINGS

0:01:34 > 0:01:35Hello?

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Hello?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Who's up there?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45BELL CONTINUES TO RING

0:01:48 > 0:01:50STRENUOUS GRUNTING

0:01:52 > 0:01:54MAN SCREAMS

0:02:58 > 0:02:59SIREN WAILS

0:03:05 > 0:03:06Charlie.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Found this in the deceased's pocket.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19"I can no longer live with this secret."

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Rod Drury.- Hm.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25You knew him, didn't you, Doc?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Not personally, but...

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Dear, oh, dear.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Oh, Rod.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- No-one's moved the body? - Well, not as far as we know.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52You're quite sure, Charlie?

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Yeah. Why?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Any witnesses? Other firies perhaps? - No.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05They were all at a fire in Brown Hill.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08He must've known they were on a call.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11That way there'd be no-one here to stop him.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Yes, perhaps.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Oh, who's this?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28What the hell happened?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Charlie?- It's Rod Drury.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Looks like he jumped.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Bloody hell! - It's all right, mate, come on.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Come on.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47I'm the station officer, Mick Lancaster.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Oh, yes, of course. Dr Lucien Blake.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54I am sorry. Police surgeon. This is Sergeant Charlie Davis.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Mr Lancaster, would you like me to take a look at those hands of yours?

0:04:57 > 0:04:59No. No, thanks, I'll be fine, Doc.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01All right.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Should we ring the bell?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Yeah. Yeah, if you could, Theo. Thanks.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12Charlie, that chap going off to ring the bell, he looks familiar to me.

0:05:12 > 0:05:13Who is that?

0:05:13 > 0:05:18Theodore Rowe, a local tailor. He made a suit for me last year.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Right.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Lads, if you would?

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Er, before you take him away, do you mind...

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Of course, by all means.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29CHURCH BELL RINGS

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Black residue under the nails on the left hand.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Yes. What is that all over the fingers?

0:06:04 > 0:06:06Ink perhaps.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Maybe newsprint.- Mm.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14You know...

0:06:14 > 0:06:18on the right hand there are six little marks

0:06:18 > 0:06:21evenly spaced in sort of a circular pattern,

0:06:21 > 0:06:24acquired recently by the looks of it.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Something he fell against? - Yeah, possibly.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30Whatever it was, it's punctured the skin.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32There's bruising there of the left wrist.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Triangular in shape.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Fractured, eh?- Re-fractured.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42It was weak already. He probably did it in the fall.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45His medical records.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- The wrist was broken three months ago in an accident.- Ah.

0:06:48 > 0:06:54He's got fractures in both ankles, compression spinal fractures...

0:06:56 > 0:06:58..and a ring fracture at the base of the skull.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04What exactly were you expecting to find?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Oh, Alice, it could be nothing, but...

0:07:07 > 0:07:09..his feet were quite near the building,

0:07:09 > 0:07:13his head toward the street, of course.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17If he'd jumped, you'd expect he would have landed

0:07:17 > 0:07:19further away from the building,

0:07:19 > 0:07:23and certainly wouldn't you expect to find him face down?

0:07:23 > 0:07:24- Mm. That's interesting.- Mm.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27And tell me, what's that?

0:07:27 > 0:07:32Ah...symbol of the fire service, given to him out of respect.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Can I help you?

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Cec.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Thank you for calling, sir.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45Er, ma'am, please, no, don't. Don't cover him.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Rod's... He's my brother.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51I'm sorry.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55This is Kathleen, Rod's wife.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yes, of course.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Oh, please, no!

0:08:05 > 0:08:08What's this here?

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Oh, yes. His hands.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15The black is...

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well, at this point, we're not entirely sure what it is.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Rod gave me a bottle of whisky last night at the club.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27The box was filthy.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32We thought it might be from... when he wrote the note.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40No. Tell them he would never do that.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42She's right, sir.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45My little brother, he wouldn't kill himself.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I don't care what the note says.

0:08:50 > 0:08:55Thanks for doing this. We just need another look, Dale.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57I wasn't able to see much last night.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Please, allow me.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Thank you.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Did you want me to come up with you?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Why don't we leave the police to do their job?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15It's Dale, isn't it?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Yes, sir. Dale Hardy.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Yes, of course. Your father was a patient of mine.

0:09:22 > 0:09:25This must all be a dreadful shock for you.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Yeah.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Rod does all the deliveries for Dad's bakery.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Well, my bakery now since Dad passed.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Rod's been helping me out.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37I see.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41And tell me, anyone else been up the tower since last night?

0:09:43 > 0:09:44No.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Bill... Sorry, Sergeant Hobart, locked it all up last night.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Right. Thank you both.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- All right, Charlie?- Yep.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- CHARLIE WHISTLES - Hell of a view.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'll say.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16So, Charlie, there's a call out to a fire.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Someone rings the bell, volunteers arrive,

0:10:19 > 0:10:24they climb aboard the truck and in this case, head out to Brown Hill.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Mm-hm.- Rod arrives late...

0:10:29 > 0:10:30- ..maybe.- Mm-hm.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Why does he come up here?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Well...to end it all.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41Humour me, Charlie. It would've been quite dark, yes?

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Doc! What are you doing? - It's all right, Charlie.

0:10:47 > 0:10:52Now, he would have been standing here.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57No, that's not right. Hang on a minute.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Careful!

0:11:01 > 0:11:04There! There, Charlie.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06ROD GROANS

0:11:06 > 0:11:11He was definitely facing this way. He was trying to hold on.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14He fell and caught himself with one hand,

0:11:14 > 0:11:16but he wouldn't have been able to hold on for very long.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20And I think someone was applying pressure to his wrist,

0:11:20 > 0:11:22perhaps even striking it repeatedly.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Which would explain the bruising, yes? Yes.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Yes, that sounds right. Doc, just take it easy.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Charlie, look here. See here!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Yeah, I can see that.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Based on what we can see here,

0:11:40 > 0:11:43these were not the actions of a man trying to kill himself.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45No. But yours definitely are, Doc.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Charlie, I was... Oh!

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Doc!

0:11:50 > 0:11:51I got you!

0:11:52 > 0:11:53THEY STRAIN

0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Right.- Got you.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06Thank you, Charlie.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Charlie, look.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18There was definitely someone else on that ledge with Rod.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22We found a second partial handprint under the railing.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Looks like the same stains as Rod's prints.- Yes.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Right. Anything else from the examination of the body?

0:12:28 > 0:12:31There was some kind of black residue under Rod's fingernails.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Dr Harvey should have the forensic results back shortly.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Well, this definitely wasn't suicide.

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Somebody planted that note.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Bill's been filling me in on Rod Drury.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42Quite a colourful character.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44Now, we have confirmed this is Rod's writing,

0:12:44 > 0:12:47but take a look at this edge here.

0:12:47 > 0:12:52Yes. It's been cut. Very... Very neatly, by the looks.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55Mm. So, someone went to a fair bit of trouble here.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Make sure all of this is going into the report.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Yes, sir.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Bill, just hold on one moment, would you?

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- It's not finished...- I do apologise.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Frank?

0:13:09 > 0:13:13I'd say that note was written on carbon-backed paper.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Do you think there might be a copy?

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Rod ran a delivery business.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Let's check all his receipt books and ledgers.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Find out all his movements in the last couple of days.

0:13:21 > 0:13:23What about me, boss?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25Me and the boys were going over to Rod's place this morning.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'll keep an eye out for what's there.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30But I reckon most of the delivery books are in his van.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33Oh, well done, Charlie.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37- Ah, alcohol for the Colonists' Club. - Mm.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41And a bread delivery for Dale's bakery,

0:13:41 > 0:13:42done yesterday by the looks of it.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45No receipt books. I'll check up the front.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48And I'll check those boxes up the back there.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Thank you, Charlie.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Looks like someone else has been searching

0:14:01 > 0:14:03for a copy of the letter as well.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Ah! I think I've got something.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Yes, me too.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22It's a list of debts. Small amounts, mostly.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25But look here. N-K.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Whoever N-K is, they owed Rod £200.

0:14:29 > 0:14:30What have you found?

0:14:30 > 0:14:32That's a very good question, Charlie.

0:14:32 > 0:14:39I found these in that last box up the far corner there.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Why would Rod hide those things in here?

0:14:43 > 0:14:45I don't know.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49But I do know where we might find an answer.

0:14:49 > 0:14:53Oh, well, that's just it. Another chip-pan fire.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55You don't hear a thing until it's almost too late.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56It was lucky we got there in time.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59You couldn't see more than two feet in front of your own face...

0:14:59 > 0:15:02The house is still standing, though. No-one got hurt.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03You can't do much more than that, mate.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Leave those. I said, leave it!

0:15:09 > 0:15:13- KATHLEEN CRIES - They were from Rod.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18- He gave them to me last week!- It's all right, love. It's all right.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- Kathleen, let's get you up. - Is everything all right, Kath?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24We're all right, Mr Lancaster.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Sergeant Hobart told us the news, sir.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30We knew it wasn't suicide.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33It's all right, Cec.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36If there's anything me or any of the other firies

0:15:36 > 0:15:38can do to help, you just ask.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Well, as a matter of fact, Mr Lancaster, there is something.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Charlie, are you there? Thank you.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48We, um... We found this in Rod's van.

0:15:48 > 0:15:52Now, as far as you know, is it his?

0:15:52 > 0:15:55Rod only ever wore a suede coat.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58He had a coat at the station for call-outs, but that's not it.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Right.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Then I'm wondering,

0:16:02 > 0:16:05why would he effectively keep it hidden in his van?

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Perhaps it didn't belong to him, or...

0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm not sure what you're getting at, mate,

0:16:10 > 0:16:11but now's not the time or the place.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15- We're all here to pay our respects. - Of course.

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Kathleen, please forgive me. I...

0:16:23 > 0:16:26- It's all right.- I extend that to you too, of course, Mr Lancaster.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28- No, I'm fine, Doc. Just look after Kath.- Yes.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Davis, I've got those books for you in the spare room.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I'll go and just pop the kettle on.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Very good, Cec.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43My Rod, he had a finger in a lot of pies. But he wasn't a crook.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45He was a good man.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49He loved me.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53Still bringing me flowers after all these years.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Oh, come here.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Doc.- Rod's receipt books.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Sergeant, listen, it could be nothing,

0:17:06 > 0:17:09but you might want to check out Neil Kirby's movements last night.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11The publican at the Red Hand.

0:17:11 > 0:17:12- Neil Kirby.- N-K.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Rod had a bit of a blue with Neil a while back outside the RSL.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Some army bloke had to break it up.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Neil wouldn't let it go, said he'd get Rod back.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22I don't know. Maybe he meant it.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Found out he'd been ripping me off.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29Is that what your fight was about at the RSL?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31When was the last time you saw Rod?

0:17:31 > 0:17:35Yesterday, about three. He came in for a drink.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37I thought you'd had a falling out?

0:17:37 > 0:17:39- He wanted to smooth things over. - I see.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41And where were you last night

0:17:41 > 0:17:43between the hours of nine and ten o'clock?

0:17:43 > 0:17:46I was here, cleaning up. Why?

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Can anyone vouch for that? - No. I was here alone.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55Look, I'm sorry that Rod jumped, but it had nothing to do with me.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58He didn't jump. He was pushed.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03You owed Rod £200.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06You didn't think to mention that?

0:18:06 > 0:18:10It's not what you think. I can prove it.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12If you just let me go upstairs and get my books.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17Charlie, I might head to the hospital.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Start running tests on those items we found in Rod's van.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Sure thing, Doc. I can handle this.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Mm. Good man.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31It could be the same residue we found on the victim's hands

0:18:31 > 0:18:32and under his nails,

0:18:32 > 0:18:35but I won't know for sure until I get the test results back.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Quite.

0:18:37 > 0:18:39Alice, what do you make of these fragments

0:18:39 > 0:18:41I found in his coat pockets?

0:18:42 > 0:18:45Hmm. It's not bone.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Similar texture, though.- Mm.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Maybe from a china cup?

0:18:49 > 0:18:50Well, maybe.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55And look, here on the, um... on the lapel.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57Now, something was pinned there at some point,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00a badge or a medal or something.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02You think all of this might have something to do with

0:19:02 > 0:19:04why Mr Drury was murdered?

0:19:04 > 0:19:09Right now, the only thing I am certain of is that he had a secret.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11Wait! Where are you taking that?

0:19:11 > 0:19:16Um, a few more tests I want to run myself.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19What, and you can't do them here?

0:19:19 > 0:19:20Best not.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Heading off, Mr Kirby?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40I've got deliveries to make.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43I can't spend all day standing around talking to you lot.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Out of the car.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Don't!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Let's start with that £200.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02Must be a weight off your shoulders now Rod's dead.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05What was it really, Mr Kirby?

0:20:05 > 0:20:09Rod lend you the money, then held it over you,

0:20:09 > 0:20:12so you attack him outside the RSL.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Sound right? Or maybe...

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Maybe it wasn't about the money.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Maybe it was about Rod revealing your secret.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26I don't have any bloody secrets. Not in this town.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Everyone knows I lost half of everything in the divorce.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Oh. Must have stung.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Yes. Rod bailed me out.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38And then he goes to the RSL behind my back,

0:20:38 > 0:20:41cuts me off supplying them their booze until I paid him back.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44Doing all this for me, making himself out to be

0:20:44 > 0:20:46some sort of big man, while he's ripping me off.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49So, he deserved to die?

0:20:49 > 0:20:52Is that what you told yourself when you lured him up to that tower?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56By the way, you've got some boot polish on your collar, Mr Kirby.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58I noticed it at the pub.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Been using it in your hair, have you?

0:21:01 > 0:21:05You know, we found a black substance under Rod's fingernails?

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Did he grab at your hair

0:21:07 > 0:21:10while he was trying to save himself up on that ledge?

0:21:11 > 0:21:14According to this, since the divorce,

0:21:14 > 0:21:17you've been staying at the pub in the room upstairs.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Well, that's one street away from the fire station, isn't it?

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Get his prints. Take him downstairs to the lockup.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- I'll let the boss know what he has to say.- OK.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39So, Neil Kirby's contracts to supply alcohol to the club

0:21:39 > 0:21:41- are now in Rod Drury's name? - Yes, sir.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44It was signed over to him two months ago with some special conditions.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Right. And do you mind if I see those contracts?

0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Might take me a while to find them, sir.- I can wait.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57Oh, just another thing - apparently there was a fight here

0:21:57 > 0:21:59between the two men a few months back.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Was that over the contract? - I'm not sure, sir.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04I understand one of your members broke up that fight.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06Is he here now, or...?

0:22:07 > 0:22:09Mr Carlyle.

0:22:09 > 0:22:10Major Alderton.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13Well, are you here for a drink, Frank,

0:22:13 > 0:22:15or would you like a tip on the horses?

0:22:15 > 0:22:19Thank you, no. I'm looking into the murder of Rod Drury.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Should I know him?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Well, apparently, you broke up a fight between he and Neil Kirby

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- a few months back.- Kirby I do know.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27He served with me, didn't he, Sergeant?

0:22:27 > 0:22:30Yes. Terrible temper, but a good soldier.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32He gave the other bloke quite a hiding

0:22:32 > 0:22:33then they shook hands at the end.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Oh, they shook hands?- Oh, well,

0:22:35 > 0:22:38just a couple of blokes letting off some steam, sir, nothing more.

0:22:38 > 0:22:40Here's your contract, sir. And those special conditions.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44Well, thank you, Major. Sergeant.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Chief Superintendent.

0:23:42 > 0:23:43Lucien, what on earth are you doing?!

0:23:43 > 0:23:46It smells like mothballs in here. Cec is here to see you.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48- I've made some tea.- Tea.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Lovely, thank you, Jean.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Lucien... Cec hasn't been able to sleep.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04I was hoping you could give me something to help, sir,

0:24:04 > 0:24:06if it's not too much trouble.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07Of course.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09Of course, I'll write a prescription up for you.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Now, Cec, forgive me...

0:24:15 > 0:24:17..I do need to ask...

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Thank you, Jean.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24Last night, Rod was at the Colonists', making a delivery, yes?

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Yes, sir. Once a week. Same time.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32And then we'd have a drink at the office out the back,

0:24:32 > 0:24:34just the two of us.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36It was our time.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39Yes.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42But last night, he was called to the fire station.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, no, not exactly, sir.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48He was with me when he heard the first bell.

0:24:48 > 0:24:49Eight rings.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52Eight rings? That's Brown Hill.

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Yes. Then the bell sounded again.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Rod thought it was probably a false alarm.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58He said he'd be right back.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01But he never came back.

0:25:03 > 0:25:04Right.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06And what time was the second bell, would you say?

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Quarter to ten.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Hm. That's very precise.

0:25:11 > 0:25:16Well, I checked my watch when I... when I saw Mrs Blake on the street.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Mei Lin?

0:25:20 > 0:25:22What was she doing?

0:25:22 > 0:25:24I don't know, sir. She was... She was looking for you.

0:25:24 > 0:25:30We spoke briefly, then she went off in the same direction as Rod.

0:25:34 > 0:25:39That was Mrs Hewitt, with two Ts?

0:25:39 > 0:25:41And that's a rare spider orchid?

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Do you mind if I take another couple of photos?

0:25:45 > 0:25:46Ladies and gentlemen,

0:25:46 > 0:25:49would you please gather round for the prize-giving?

0:25:49 > 0:25:50Please take a seat.

0:25:52 > 0:25:53This year's flower competition

0:25:53 > 0:25:55has been of a particularly high standard,

0:25:55 > 0:25:57making the job of the judges...

0:25:58 > 0:26:02Special mention should go to Mrs Elizabeth Collins

0:26:02 > 0:26:03for her outstanding...

0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Charlie, you're home early. - I hope I'm not intruding.

0:26:10 > 0:26:12No, not at all. Would you like a cup of tea?

0:26:18 > 0:26:22Rose phoned me today. She has something you should probably see.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Really?

0:26:26 > 0:26:31I took some photographs this morning and I got these by pure accident.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37Is that Mrs Blake with Major Alderton?

0:26:37 > 0:26:39Yes.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41I don't know what any of this means,

0:26:41 > 0:26:44but I think Dr Blake should see them.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46Have you shown anyone else?

0:26:47 > 0:26:49They clearly know one another.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52She hasn't mentioned any of this to the Doc.

0:26:53 > 0:26:54I didn't know what to do.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Just leave them with me for now. Thank you, Rose.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Lucien.- Mei Lin.

0:28:19 > 0:28:25Um, that lovely young lady downstairs, Iris, let me in.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27You don't mind, do you?

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Of course not.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31Where have you been?

0:28:31 > 0:28:35Oh, out, walking. I needed some fresh air.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37Yes, of course.

0:28:38 > 0:28:43Do you know, I've never asked you where you go during the days.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Lucien, why are you being like this?

0:28:50 > 0:28:54I need to know where you were at 9.45 last night.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59I was here, in bed, reading.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13You have no right to go through my things.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Mei Lin, where did you get it?

0:29:15 > 0:29:18I will not be interrogated by my husband.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22You were seen last night outside the Colonists' Club

0:29:22 > 0:29:25at a quarter to ten.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28Not long after, only three streets away, a man fell to his death.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31This Star of David, as far as we can tell, belonged to him.

0:29:31 > 0:29:36Now you have to tell me what you know.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40Mei Lin, please tell the Chief Superintendent what you told me.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44I heard voices. Shouting.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46And a heavy thud.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48And I saw a body fall from the tower.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53And did you see anyone else, up the tower, maybe?

0:29:53 > 0:29:54No.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58And this?

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Where was this?

0:30:00 > 0:30:03I put my hand on his wrist to check his pulse.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05It fell out of his hand.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07And you just took it with you?

0:30:07 > 0:30:10I didn't even realise I still had it until I got back to the hotel.

0:30:11 > 0:30:15Mrs Blake, why would you not call for the police or run for help?

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- I was scared.- Scared of what?

0:30:18 > 0:30:22That you'd have me arrested or deported.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Mei Lin, why didn't you come to me with all of this?

0:30:26 > 0:30:31I'm a Chinese national in a small town

0:30:31 > 0:30:33with a husband who keeps me in a hotel

0:30:33 > 0:30:35while he lives with his housekeeper.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Why would I come to you for anything?

0:30:39 > 0:30:42And is there anything else you may have seen?

0:30:42 > 0:30:46A car, it came out from behind the fire station.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48A car?

0:30:49 > 0:30:51- Well, did it stop?- I don't know.

0:30:51 > 0:30:53- I don't think so. - Can you describe the vehicle for me?

0:30:53 > 0:30:57I couldn't really see. The lights were too bright in my face.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00But there's a chance the driver may have seen you?

0:31:06 > 0:31:09So, we still have a missing letter.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12We have a car at the scene, but no make, model or colour,

0:31:12 > 0:31:14and a Star of David, but no real suspects.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16What about Kirby?

0:31:16 > 0:31:18I've got a copy of Rod's agreement with the RSL.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20Seems he's true to his word.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22He'd only taken the RSL contract

0:31:22 > 0:31:24until the £200 that Kirby owed him was paid back,

0:31:24 > 0:31:27and there was only one more payment left to make.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30Only thing that might connect the two, though,

0:31:30 > 0:31:32is the black residue under Rod's fingernails.

0:31:32 > 0:31:39Well, initial testing suggests, whatever it is, it isn't oil-based.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42So, in other words, it's not boot polish.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46In that case we can't hold Kirby, so let him go.

0:31:46 > 0:31:47Er, Frank.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51- "Our local heroes."- Yes, I know where you're going with this.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54I've already had Bill and Charlie talk to the lot of them last night.

0:31:54 > 0:31:58Six firefighters, all at the blaze at Brown Hill

0:31:58 > 0:31:59when Rod fell to his death.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02All right.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Lucien, if the killer did see your wife,

0:32:06 > 0:32:08they may think that she could identify them.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13Yes, that thought had crossed my mind.

0:32:27 > 0:32:31Now, there'll be a man out here tonight to make sure you're safe.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33And where will you be, Lucien?

0:32:36 > 0:32:41If you really wanted me to be safe, we could leave this place.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45We could go anywhere. Start again.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49I know the army would take you back...

0:32:49 > 0:32:52It's not that simple, Mei Lin.

0:32:53 > 0:32:58I can't just... I can't just leave. Mei Lin...

0:33:04 > 0:33:08Dale, I have a few more questions for you.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14You said last night you were the first volunteer to the station

0:33:14 > 0:33:15after the call went out.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18Yeah, that's right.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22And when did you decide to call The Courier to tell them about the fire?

0:33:22 > 0:33:24It was you that made the call, wasn't it?

0:33:24 > 0:33:27From the station. I was just following orders, you know.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30So, it wasn't your idea?

0:33:30 > 0:33:32Mr Lancaster probably told you to call the paper?

0:33:32 > 0:33:36No, we called the captain at his home, so he could meet us there.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39- It was Mr Rowe.- I see.

0:33:41 > 0:33:42Did you find it odd?

0:33:42 > 0:33:45In all the chaos, that you were asked to notify the press?

0:33:50 > 0:33:51Mate... Mate...

0:33:53 > 0:33:56..if there's something you need to say, now's the time to say it.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01You know how Rod hurt himself in a big warehouse fire

0:34:01 > 0:34:03about three months ago?

0:34:03 > 0:34:07Copped a pretty decent whack to the head. Broke his wrist.

0:34:08 > 0:34:11After he got out of hospital, he changed.

0:34:12 > 0:34:13I reckon the accident did his head in.

0:34:15 > 0:34:17That's why he jumped.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21Dale, Rod didn't take his own life.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Someone forced him from that tower.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- I thought he jumped. - Who told you he jumped?

0:34:47 > 0:34:52All right, now, you think you can give me a big breath?

0:34:52 > 0:34:53HE INHALES AND EXHALES

0:34:53 > 0:34:55That's good. And again.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57HE INHALES AND EXHALES

0:34:57 > 0:34:58All right.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00So kind of you to come and check on us, Doctor.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04Oh, not at all. I promised the fire brigade I'd call in on you.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08You are a champion, aren't you? Lungs are clear.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10I'll just put this away.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12- He loves fire engines.- Yes.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Here we go, sweetie. - BABY WHIMPERS

0:35:18 > 0:35:22Just lie down. There's a good boy. Be a good boy for Mummy?

0:35:22 > 0:35:26Oh, yes, you are.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Come on. Come here, come here. - Patricia?

0:35:37 > 0:35:38Yes?

0:35:38 > 0:35:41Any idea how the fire started?

0:35:41 > 0:35:46Er...I was sure the stove was off when I put the children to bed.

0:35:46 > 0:35:47And then there was this loud bang,

0:35:47 > 0:35:50and suddenly there was this man pounding on our front door,

0:35:50 > 0:35:52telling us all to get out.

0:35:52 > 0:35:53Right. A neighbour?

0:35:53 > 0:35:57Er, no, no. Er...a fireman. Captain Lancaster.

0:35:57 > 0:35:59We could have lost everything.

0:36:01 > 0:36:06So, just to be clear, you didn't call the fire station?

0:36:06 > 0:36:09No. Er, no, we don't have a phone.

0:36:11 > 0:36:12Right.

0:36:14 > 0:36:15Doctor?

0:36:15 > 0:36:18- Rose. Just here for, um... - A follow-up story.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Yes, just got some quotes from the neighbours.- Right.

0:36:21 > 0:36:23They're very lucky someone spotted the blaze

0:36:23 > 0:36:25and the firies got here as quickly as they did.

0:36:25 > 0:36:28I'm sure the family connection probably helped.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31Family connection?

0:36:35 > 0:36:39Doc, Mr Rowe here is just clarifying some points

0:36:39 > 0:36:41from his statement last night about the fire.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Yes, the one at his cousin's house.

0:36:43 > 0:36:48Patricia, isn't it? Lovely girl. Two gorgeous kiddies.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50Very lucky no-one was hurt.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52Where were you when the fire was reported?

0:36:52 > 0:36:54I was at the fire station.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57I've been covering night shifts, 6pm to 8am.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59I took the call at the station house.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02I phoned the captain, then I sounded the bell. Eight rings.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05- For Brown Hill?- So, the volunteers who couldn't make it

0:37:05 > 0:37:07to the fire station could meet us there.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10We didn't have a lot of time. I made as many calls as I could.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14More volunteers arrived, then we headed out.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Now, if that's answered all your questions,

0:37:16 > 0:37:17I should get back to work.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19Er, one last thing, Mr Rowe.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Dale Hardy mentioned Rod hurt himself in a warehouse fire

0:37:24 > 0:37:26three months back.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Or had that slipped your mind as well?

0:37:28 > 0:37:30- Meaning my warehouse?- Yes.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32I lost everything in that fire.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34My whole business burnt to the ground.

0:37:34 > 0:37:36And Rod Drury almost lost his life.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38He did. A falling beam hit him.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41We barely managed to get him out before the whole thing collapsed.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47You think this is about the insurance pay-out, don't you?

0:37:49 > 0:37:50Something like that, yes.

0:37:53 > 0:37:58Look...I don't like to speak ill of the dead...

0:37:58 > 0:38:00but Rod believed I lit that fire.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Demanded I give him some of the insurance money

0:38:02 > 0:38:04or he'd go to the police.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06I refused to give him a penny.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11You asked. What happens now?

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Now we're going to take your fingerprints.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16And you'd better hope they don't match the partials we found

0:38:16 > 0:38:17at the scene of the crime.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19Are we clear?

0:38:22 > 0:38:26Mr Rowe's prints don't match the ones we found at the crime scene.

0:38:26 > 0:38:27Are you sure?

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Well, maybe we can bring Dale in for questioning.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32He certainly knows more than he's letting on, I can tell you that.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35Why? Neither of them were at the fire station when Rod died.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38They were in Brown bloody Hill, same as me.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42Yes, but, look, that house is barely ten minutes from the fire station.

0:38:42 > 0:38:45Now, someone could have slipped away in all the confusion...

0:38:45 > 0:38:47Lucien, they have six men, including my Sergeant,

0:38:47 > 0:38:49the family and the bloody Courier to back them up.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51We have nothing.

0:38:51 > 0:38:52Which is why we need to release Mr Rowe.

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Right.

0:38:54 > 0:38:55First thing tomorrow,

0:38:55 > 0:38:58I want every record we have on the warehouse fire.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00Police, fire, insurance reports.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02And I want our men out at the Brown Hill house,

0:39:02 > 0:39:05interviewing family, neighbours, anyone who was there.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07Yes, sir.

0:39:07 > 0:39:11Ah...Mr Lancaster.

0:39:11 > 0:39:12Superintendent.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Some of the boys told me that you're questioning Theodore Rowe?

0:39:16 > 0:39:18Yes, it's just due process, I'm afraid.

0:39:18 > 0:39:20Yes.

0:39:20 > 0:39:24Speaking of which, Mr Lancaster, would you mind terribly

0:39:24 > 0:39:26giving us a set of your fingerprints?

0:39:26 > 0:39:28- We only need the right hand. - Lucien...

0:39:28 > 0:39:30You can try.

0:39:32 > 0:39:34Thank you.

0:39:35 > 0:39:37I trust this isn't too uncomfortable for you.

0:39:40 > 0:39:41Goodness me.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43I am sorry, Mick.

0:39:43 > 0:39:45Oh, no, it's fine. I understand due process.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48I might wait outside, if that's all right.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56No, it was worth a try.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07Jean, are you awake?

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Lucien.

0:41:14 > 0:41:19Um, I was wondering if I could, um, ask you something.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20Of course.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23Earlier when you came to see me in my study,

0:41:23 > 0:41:25what did you say about the smell?

0:41:25 > 0:41:27It smelled like mothballs.

0:41:29 > 0:41:30Bloody mothballs, of course.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Naphthalene dust.- Oh.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35Jean... Thank you.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38Oh, Lucien, Alice left a message earlier.

0:41:38 > 0:41:39She has results back from the lab.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42- You need to return her call, in the morning.- Right.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Well, thank you.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Goodnight.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49Yes.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22I don't take kindly to these kinds of threats!

0:42:22 > 0:42:24I've been more than patient.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28It does not have anything to do with me!

0:42:28 > 0:42:30You agreed to the terms.

0:42:30 > 0:42:33If you don't bring him in, we both know what happens next.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Fine. I'll try one more time.

0:42:39 > 0:42:40Tonight.

0:42:42 > 0:42:43And he stays.

0:42:44 > 0:42:46Until morning.

0:42:47 > 0:42:48I'll be watching.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12What are we looking for, Doc?

0:43:12 > 0:43:16Theodore Rowe's warehouse fire was over three months ago.

0:43:39 > 0:43:41There's nothing here, Doc.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53He's still bringing me flowers after all these years.

0:43:53 > 0:43:54Rod was here.

0:43:55 > 0:43:57And not that long ago by the looks of it.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Laying flowers for the dead.

0:44:05 > 0:44:08The ash we found in his van came from here.

0:44:09 > 0:44:12And those small...fragments

0:44:12 > 0:44:16of what we thought might have been china or porcelain?

0:44:16 > 0:44:18Part of a tooth

0:44:18 > 0:44:21from an old-fashioned set of porcelain dentures.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23Not combustible. Impossible to burn.

0:44:24 > 0:44:27So, the coat, the Star of David,

0:44:27 > 0:44:30you think somebody died in the fire and Rod knew about it?

0:44:30 > 0:44:34Yes! The secret he could no longer live with.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36I know somewhere we need to go.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50- What's all this?- Eli Rosen.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53Russian-Jewish immigrant. He'd been sleeping rough.

0:44:53 > 0:44:56In fact, he'd been camping out at the warehouse on Eureka Street.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59Curiously, no-one has seen him since the fire.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02Rod had been doing his own investigation with the fire.

0:45:02 > 0:45:04He told one of the old hobos that just before he got hit

0:45:04 > 0:45:08by an overhead beam, he saw a body in the flames.

0:45:08 > 0:45:12What's more, the hobo told us that Rod bought Eli's old jacket off him.

0:45:12 > 0:45:14Yes.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17Rod's colleagues weren't remotely interested in what he had to say.

0:45:17 > 0:45:18He was going to blow the whistle.

0:45:18 > 0:45:21He was going to go to the police with all the evidence,

0:45:21 > 0:45:23and he was killed before he had the chance.

0:45:24 > 0:45:25Well, it's a hell of a story,

0:45:25 > 0:45:27but none of it helps us catch Rod Drury's killer.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30Kirby's clean and all of our suspects have watertight alibis.

0:45:30 > 0:45:32It's all there.

0:45:32 > 0:45:37Mr Rowe on the hose, Bill and Dale behind him,

0:45:37 > 0:45:39then Lancaster on the head inside.

0:45:40 > 0:45:42Rose, you were right there until the very end, yes?

0:45:42 > 0:45:45Yes, until just after 11. Then they all headed back to the station.

0:45:45 > 0:45:47Rowe may have had every reason to want Rod dead,

0:45:47 > 0:45:49but he didn't push him off that tower.

0:45:51 > 0:45:54No doubt about it...

0:45:54 > 0:45:56your brother knew a good whiskey.

0:45:57 > 0:45:59He certainly did, sir.

0:46:01 > 0:46:04Just a pity that he didn't get to drink it.

0:46:06 > 0:46:08- To Rod.- To Rod.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23Oh, Cec, my dear friend.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25I am so sorry, I feel like I've let you down.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28No, not at all sir.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30I just feel better knowing that...

0:46:33 > 0:46:35..Rod died trying to do the right thing.

0:46:36 > 0:46:38That was him.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41Never one to follow blindly.

0:46:44 > 0:46:46He was always his own man.

0:46:48 > 0:46:51- Right to the end. - KNOCK ON DOOR

0:46:51 > 0:46:52Excuse me.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03"Never one to just blindly follow."

0:47:07 > 0:47:10BELLS CHIME

0:47:14 > 0:47:20Stop! Stop! Everyone calm down. Who took the call?

0:47:20 > 0:47:24I'm sorry. I do beg your pardon. That was me. False alarm.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26What the hell are you playing at?

0:47:26 > 0:47:27I'm just...

0:47:27 > 0:47:32I'm just testing a theory, Mick, in relation to that Brown Hill fire,

0:47:32 > 0:47:34and I think I've worked it out.

0:47:34 > 0:47:40You see, first of all, someone deliberately set that fire

0:47:40 > 0:47:43using naphthalene dust as an accelerant.

0:47:43 > 0:47:45It's made from mothballs.

0:47:45 > 0:47:49And then - I love this bit -

0:47:49 > 0:47:51smoke bombs.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Look at those.

0:47:53 > 0:47:58Easy enough to make. Saltpetre and sugar mostly.

0:47:58 > 0:48:02It's how you create enough smoke to maintain the illusion

0:48:02 > 0:48:04that no-one ever left the scene.

0:48:04 > 0:48:07OK, lads, let's go, show's over.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08What's the matter, Mr Rowe?

0:48:08 > 0:48:11You don't want your men to hear about the insurance job

0:48:11 > 0:48:14you and Mick pulled that killed a homeless man?

0:48:14 > 0:48:17And Rod Drury knew, and he had the evidence to prove it.

0:48:17 > 0:48:21He had the dead man's coat, partial remains,

0:48:21 > 0:48:23and he put it all in a letter.

0:48:23 > 0:48:25Didn't he, Mick?

0:48:25 > 0:48:29Local hero. Imagine.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31Imagine if word got out,

0:48:31 > 0:48:35people found out what you and Mr Rowe had done.

0:48:35 > 0:48:40"Hero!" All that would go away, wouldn't it?

0:48:40 > 0:48:41You'd be ruined.

0:48:41 > 0:48:44But the night Rod died, we were at the Brown Hill fire,

0:48:44 > 0:48:47risking our lives for people like you.

0:48:47 > 0:48:49Yes.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52Yes, Mick taking charge at the head of the hose.

0:48:52 > 0:48:55You, Mr Rowe, right behind him.

0:48:55 > 0:48:59And where were you, Dale? Inside the house?

0:48:59 > 0:49:00No.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02Bill Hobart and I were feeding the hose at the door.

0:49:02 > 0:49:04I see.

0:49:04 > 0:49:08Anyone else actually go inside?

0:49:08 > 0:49:10No. There was too much smoke.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Too much smoke.

0:49:15 > 0:49:19You went back to the fire station, you sounded that bell a second time

0:49:19 > 0:49:21and you murdered Rod Drury,

0:49:21 > 0:49:23and then returned to the fire

0:49:23 > 0:49:25without anyone even realising you'd gone.

0:49:25 > 0:49:28And Rod tried to hold on to you, didn't he,

0:49:28 > 0:49:30to stop himself from falling?

0:49:30 > 0:49:34That's how he got the naphthalene on his hands and under his fingernails.

0:49:38 > 0:49:42And speaking of hands, Mick, your hands?

0:49:42 > 0:49:45Last night at the police station, I didn't expect them to be burnt.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48Well, certainly not so severely.

0:49:49 > 0:49:52You burnt them yourself, didn't you?

0:49:52 > 0:49:57After you realised you left that partial set of prints in the tower!

0:49:59 > 0:50:02He's lying.

0:50:02 > 0:50:05I've always done the right thing by my men, by my community.

0:50:05 > 0:50:07Yes, of course.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13You doctored Rod's letter to look like a suicide note,

0:50:13 > 0:50:15and you left it in his pocket.

0:50:15 > 0:50:18Now, there was a carbon copy of the original letter -

0:50:18 > 0:50:21I'm sure you've dealt with that - however...

0:50:23 > 0:50:25..it looks like you didn't think

0:50:25 > 0:50:28to deal with the carbon paper itself.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32You're no hero, Mick.

0:50:33 > 0:50:37No. Rod Drury was the hero.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41He was never one to just blindly follow,

0:50:41 > 0:50:42but he trusted you...

0:50:44 > 0:50:48..just like all of these men trusted you, and you betrayed him.

0:50:50 > 0:50:52And you betrayed all of them.

0:50:54 > 0:50:55Bill.

0:51:13 > 0:51:16Lucien. Can I pour you a drink?

0:51:17 > 0:51:18Please.

0:51:25 > 0:51:26Thank you.

0:51:28 > 0:51:29- Jean, we need to talk.- Lucien...

0:51:29 > 0:51:31Please let me.

0:51:33 > 0:51:37I should have told you...honestly how I feel.

0:51:39 > 0:51:40That I'm...

0:51:40 > 0:51:45That I'm ready to...to let go of my...

0:51:46 > 0:51:51..stubborn sense of duty, and that the past is just that - it's...

0:51:52 > 0:51:54..it's past.

0:51:54 > 0:51:55I should have told you...

0:51:57 > 0:52:00I should have told you that I'm finally ready to follow my heart.

0:52:00 > 0:52:03- PHONE RINGS - Please don't get that.

0:52:08 > 0:52:10Yes, Dr Lu...

0:52:13 > 0:52:15All right.

0:52:16 > 0:52:18All right, I'm on my way.

0:52:24 > 0:52:25Something's happened...

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Lucien, I have something to tell you.

0:52:27 > 0:52:29I'll be back as quickly as I can,

0:52:29 > 0:52:32and we'll finish this as soon as I get home, I promise.

0:52:32 > 0:52:33I promise.

0:52:34 > 0:52:37SHE SIGHS

0:52:59 > 0:53:03Now, Mei Lin, when we spoke on the telephone,

0:53:03 > 0:53:05you said someone threatened you.

0:53:08 > 0:53:10Sit down. Please.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14Thank you.

0:53:15 > 0:53:18I need to tell you about what happened in Hong Kong.

0:53:20 > 0:53:23When I arrived by boat,

0:53:23 > 0:53:26when I was put into that camp...

0:53:27 > 0:53:28Mei Lin, please don't.

0:53:30 > 0:53:33You need to see what they did to women like me.

0:53:43 > 0:53:45Oh, dear God.

0:53:47 > 0:53:49Mei Lin, I am so sorry.

0:53:56 > 0:53:58- Please.- Lucien.

0:53:58 > 0:54:00- We mustn't.- Lucien.

0:54:03 > 0:54:05SHE SOBS

0:54:05 > 0:54:07Our daughter's life depends on it!

0:54:09 > 0:54:11Lee? What do you mean?

0:54:12 > 0:54:14Mei Lin?

0:54:14 > 0:54:18Derek Alderton found me over a year ago.

0:54:20 > 0:54:22He offered to get me out of the camp,

0:54:22 > 0:54:26to bring me here, to you...

0:54:28 > 0:54:30..if I agreed to help him.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34He never told me anything.

0:54:34 > 0:54:39He never even told me that Lee was still alive, not until later.

0:54:40 > 0:54:43Not until it suited him.

0:54:47 > 0:54:49There's so much that you need to know.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58DOOR CLOSES

0:55:17 > 0:55:19I should have given these to you sooner.

0:55:29 > 0:55:31She's been meeting with him behind your back.

0:55:31 > 0:55:33I didn't know how to tell you.

0:55:34 > 0:55:35It's all right, Jean.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39It's all right, I know.

0:55:42 > 0:55:44She told me.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48Alderton's been using her.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51Blackmailing her, threatening my family.

0:55:51 > 0:55:54All to get to you?

0:55:55 > 0:55:57I promise you this...

0:55:59 > 0:56:03I promise you, I will make things right.
