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

0:02:58 > 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.
