00:00:00Can you see me? Are we starting?
00:00:14Your camera's off. I'm just letting people in as they arrive.
00:00:19Any chance of actually starting this thing on time?
00:00:22Yeah, it's only just quarter two, Moira.
00:00:25I can't see you.
00:00:27Hi there. Hi Moira.
00:00:29I said I can't see you.
00:00:31Oh, really?
00:00:33Not you, Estelle.
00:00:35Hi. Yes, I just need to...
00:00:40Hi.
00:00:42Okay.
00:00:43Welcome everyone to this slightly unusual meeting
00:00:47of Causton Grammar Parent Teacher Association.
00:00:51Due to the unfortunate way things ended last time,
00:00:55the decision was taken to move online.
00:00:58My hope is that we can communicate more constructively this time.
00:01:04Constructive criticism surely involves listening,
00:01:08not cancelling events unilaterally with no consultation, no real evidence.
00:01:13The issue which you're referring to is on the agenda, Moira. Thank you.
00:01:19But first I'm going to hand over to our deputy head, Mr. Crawford, for some housekeeping.
00:01:25Hi then, everyone. My connection's a bit dodgy, but hopefully we're going to be okay.
00:01:29So the minutes from our last meeting have been reviewed and, um, well...
00:01:34Oh yeah, whatever. Get on with it.
00:01:36Sorry. Really sorry.
00:01:38No, no, I'm not sitting through all of this. We need to talk about Holly.
00:01:42Well, we've got a meeting that's in the diary next week to discuss Holly.
00:01:46Every day she's excluded is another day she's missing her education.
00:01:49All her training for the athletic trials, it's just not fair.
00:01:52It's not lawful.
00:01:53I understand you're upset, but this isn't the appropriate forum.
00:01:58Appropriate forum?
00:02:00Waste of time!
00:02:06Um, perhaps we should move on to item one on the agenda.
00:02:11Um, cancellation of PTA fundraising event, a Q&A with Piers Mayhew.
00:02:16Any thoughts?
00:02:18Oh, here we go. Do we have two?
00:02:20Well, if you could please keep yourself on mute, unless you have something constructive.
00:02:25I'm sure you would love to mute me, Mr. Crawford, but as chairwoman of the PTA, I am entitled to have my say.
00:02:32Go for it, Moira.
00:02:33Counselling an event at such short notice is an insult to the work of this committee.
00:02:41Do you have any idea how difficult it is to secure a speaker like Piers Mayhew?
00:02:47He is your brother.
00:02:50Meaning?
00:02:51Was it that difficult to bug him?
00:02:53He is the region's best-selling children's author.
00:02:57Given his recent outbursts on social media, I simply don't see how we can go ahead.
00:03:02Oh, that's not what you were saying until Cara got involved.
00:03:05Where is she, anyway?
00:03:06She's off sick.
00:03:07She'll be in tomorrow.
00:03:08How convenient.
00:03:10I cannot allow you to keep derailing these meetings, Moira. If this continues, you will be ejected from this call.
00:03:18Derailing? I stayed on as PTA head as an act of goodwill because nobody else would do it.
00:03:25And we appreciate it.
00:03:27Item two of the agenda.
00:03:29Second-hand uniform sale.
00:03:31And as a PTA head, I am entitled to call an emergency meeting.
00:03:36It says so in the Constitution.
00:03:38Second-hand uniform sale.
00:03:40Have you read the PTA rules because they ve-
00:03:44Okay.
00:03:45Er, I have muted you, Moira.
00:03:47I'm so sorry.
00:03:48Er, there can be no further-
00:03:50Oh, I can't stop.
00:03:51Ah!
00:03:52Estelle?
00:03:53Call an ambulance.
00:03:54Help me!
00:04:50Happy?
00:04:59Yeah, looks brilliant.
00:05:01Mmm, that smells incredible.
00:05:03We've got butter chicken, lamb skewers and dog.
00:05:07Oh, and you think you're getting some, do you?
00:05:10Well, you'd rather look,
00:05:11because nobody wants to deal with the aftermath of that.
00:05:14You're just setting Paddy up to take the blame for you.
00:05:16That's an outrageous accusation.
00:05:18I don't know what you're talking about.
00:05:20See, he is home on time.
00:05:22What's that?
00:05:23Mum said you're unreliable.
00:05:25Hold on, I didn't say Dad was unreliable.
00:05:27I said sometimes his job...
00:05:28Yeah, Winton?
00:05:35Ryan?
00:05:39Okay.
00:05:40I'll see you there.
00:05:42Oh, you're kidding.
00:05:43Dad.
00:05:44Dad, if I ever get married,
00:05:47it will not be to a policeman.
00:05:48I'll see you there.
00:05:50Oh, my God.
00:06:14Estelle Hallis, 52, head teacher.
00:06:16She was running a PTA meeting online when she was killed.
00:06:20She was killed on camera in front of a dozen people.
00:06:23No one saw anything, though.
00:06:24The killer must have stayed low and out of shot.
00:06:33That looks like a javelin.
00:06:36It is.
00:06:38The angle suggests it was an upward stabbing motion
00:06:42from lowdown.
00:06:46You won't need my help with time of death.
00:06:49It's on camera at 5.48, precisely.
00:06:52After school clubs finish at 5 PM, and then the school's
00:06:55locked, and only the staff have the code.
00:06:59Next, have Kim been notified?
00:07:00Yeah, we're trying.
00:07:02There's a husband, Blake Anderson.
00:07:05He runs the bike shop in town, but he's not picking up his phone.
00:07:08And then there's a daughter, Cara.
00:07:10She's an art teacher here, but also uncontactable.
00:07:14Apparently, she's off sick today.
00:07:15I assume curry nights canceled?
00:07:17No, no.
00:07:18Please go.
00:07:18They've gone to so much effort.
00:07:20You could get them to save some for me,
00:07:22lamb skewers or something.
00:07:23Lamb skewers?
00:07:25Well, maybe just a naan.
00:07:29The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:07:32The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:07:35The javelin was kept here, sir.
00:07:50This must have been planned.
00:07:51Then you should be on that call, and you should be wearing
00:07:53headphones.
00:07:55I wouldn't hear them coming.
00:07:56And there's something else.
00:08:05This classroom belongs to the victim's daughter, Cara.
00:08:09It's an interesting message, right?
00:08:13Always behind you.
00:08:20Not fully dry.
00:08:21This is recent.
00:08:23Who was first on the scene?
00:08:26Tim Crawford, deputy head.
00:08:31DCI Barnaby.
00:08:32Were you on the video call?
00:08:34I did it from my classroom, just down the corridor.
00:08:36Did you see anybody?
00:08:38No.
00:08:39I ran over straight away, but by the time I got to.
00:08:44I'm sorry.
00:08:44Is there somewhere we can talk?
00:08:46Uh, stuff room's just here.
00:08:49Oh, uh, sorry, uh, end of year prank, I guess.
00:08:56Is this graffiti new?
00:09:01What's that?
00:09:02Oh, yes, uh, Hillary.
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07Yeah, the kids love it when they find out my middle name.
00:09:10What kind of head teacher was Estelle?
00:09:12Well, she's ambitious, which is not a bad thing.
00:09:14But I'll put it this way.
00:09:16She expelled more pupils in two years than the last head did in 12.
00:09:20Anyone recently?
00:09:22Holly Randall, last week.
00:09:24Her parents are appealing it.
00:09:25There was a Paul and Josephine Randall on the video call list she gave me.
00:09:28Yeah, that's them.
00:09:29Um, Paul, he stormed out at the beginning, but Josie, she was on for the whole call.
00:09:33How far away do they live?
00:09:35About just over the road.
00:09:36And what was Holly expelled for?
00:09:39Um, she...
00:09:40Tim!
00:09:41You okay?
00:09:42Yeah, yeah.
00:09:43Um, where are the girls?
00:09:44Oh, they're in the car.
00:09:45We were at their ballet lesson.
00:09:47Oh, sorry.
00:09:49Um, I'm Felicity.
00:09:50I'm the school receptionist.
00:09:51Um, they were just asking about Holly Randall.
00:09:53Well, surely no one's blaming her for this.
00:09:55I mean, well, she's made some silly mistakes, but...
00:09:58What kind of mistakes?
00:09:59She stole a brand new tablet from the ICT class and sold it online.
00:10:03She was trying to get money to go on the year 12 residential,
00:10:06which is way too expensive now.
00:10:08Yeah, well, we can't use that place in the Lake District anymore, can we?
00:10:11Health and safety nightmare.
00:10:13Have you told them about the situation with Piers?
00:10:16Piers?
00:10:17No.
00:10:18Uh, Piers Mayhew.
00:10:20Um, he's the brother of our PTA chairwoman, Moira.
00:10:24He was meant to do a fundraiser for us, but...
00:10:27Well, he...
00:10:29He got a bit provocative on social media.
00:10:32He's a misogynist and a troll.
00:10:35Unfortunately for him, one of the women he targeted
00:10:38was Estelle's daughter, Cara.
00:10:40She persuaded her mother to cancel his event,
00:10:42and he wasn't very happy about it.
00:10:43Well, neither was Moira.
00:10:45She threw a chair at them when she found out last Friday.
00:10:47That's why we moved a meeting online today.
00:10:49Have you managed to contact Cara?
00:10:51Um, I've left messages.
00:10:52She was on a yoga retreat in Snowdonia over the weekend.
00:10:56Um, she did text Estelle to say that she was sick,
00:10:59so she might not have traveled back yet.
00:11:02She was going on about some kind of digital detox.
00:11:06Very into that sort of thing.
00:11:08Uh, thank you.
00:11:09We'll be in touch about opening the school tomorrow.
00:11:11Uh, certain areas obviously will remain off-limits.
00:11:14Yep. Yep, of course.
00:11:16Um, DCI Barnaby?
00:11:20I-I don't know if this is important,
00:11:23but, um, when I was leaving today,
00:11:25Moira's grandson, Dominic,
00:11:26was hanging around outside Estelle's office.
00:11:29Well, he was giving a talk to the sixth form
00:11:31about starting university.
00:11:33Well, yes, but that was finished by 3.30, though.
00:11:35I saw him at 4.00.
00:11:36Look, I-I don't want to cause any problems.
00:11:38He's a great kid, but, um,
00:11:40it's just he looked pretty upset.
00:11:46What do you mean he was upset?
00:11:48Well, like I said.
00:12:08We used to live next door.
00:12:25And when my daughter died,
00:12:26when I was going through all the guardianship stuff for Dominic,
00:12:29she held me together.
00:12:31This must be very difficult.
00:12:33I was shouting at her when it happened.
00:12:36about stupid things,
00:12:38things that don't even matter.
00:12:40Gran, it's okay.
00:12:42We heard about an incident in a meeting last Friday.
00:12:45With a chair.
00:12:48Who told you that?
00:12:49I'd had enough.
00:12:51That's all.
00:12:52I can't remember quantificating.
00:12:54The chair was in my way, so I moved it.
00:12:58A bit too hard.
00:13:02Sorry.
00:13:03I don't see how all this is relevant.
00:13:06I mean, surely you're not accusing me.
00:13:08I was on the video call.
00:13:10You visited the school earlier.
00:13:12Is that right?
00:13:13I did a talk.
00:13:14Yeah.
00:13:15How to succeed at university.
00:13:16Dominic was head boy.
00:13:18He's now on a very competitive course.
00:13:20Did you see Estelle Hallis?
00:13:23No.
00:13:24Are you sure?
00:13:25A witness saw you outside her office at around 4pm.
00:13:29Gran wanted me to nag her about this book event with Pierce.
00:13:32I knocked and she didn't answer.
00:13:35So I left.
00:13:36The witness said that you looked upset.
00:13:38I wasn't.
00:13:43Hiya!
00:13:44I thought you weren't in till tomorrow.
00:13:46I thought you weren't in.
00:13:47Oh, I might not.
00:13:48Have you seen it out there?
00:13:49There's like 20 police cars at the school.
00:13:50These gentlemen are the police.
00:13:51Oh, right.
00:13:52Uh, Rhys Chapman.
00:13:53She's the dusty old book.
00:13:54Some of the fabulous textiles.
00:13:55It's Estelle Hallis.
00:13:56She's been murdered.
00:13:57What?
00:13:58Seriously?
00:13:59Seriously?
00:14:00Stabbed to death with a javelin.
00:14:01That's not how you tell people.
00:14:02That's how you told me.
00:14:03Does Cara know?
00:14:04We're trying to get hold of her.
00:14:05Yeah.
00:14:06She's not.
00:14:07I don't know.
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:09I don't know.
00:14:10I don't know.
00:14:11I don't know.
00:14:12I don't know.
00:14:13I don't know.
00:14:14We're trying to get hold of her.
00:14:15Yeah.
00:14:16She's not been picking up all weekend.
00:14:17She's my housemate.
00:14:18We were told she's on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:14:21Yeah.
00:14:22But she should be back.
00:14:24This is going to destroy her.
00:14:26They were really close.
00:14:28I'm sorry.
00:14:29Do you mind?
00:14:34Did Estelle ever talk about her marriage?
00:14:37She seemed happy enough.
00:14:39You don't like Blake?
00:14:41Don't trust him.
00:14:42I don't know.
00:14:43There's just something.
00:14:45Holly says he's all right.
00:14:47My girlfriend.
00:14:48She works a Saturday job at his bike shop.
00:14:51Is that Holly Randall?
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:53So she works with Estelle's husband.
00:14:57Okay.
00:14:58Well, I've left my number.
00:15:00Do call if Cara gets in touch.
00:15:01Hmm.
00:15:02It's unusual.
00:15:03It's all my own work.
00:15:04We run knitting sessions on Thursdays.
00:15:05Everyone's welcome.
00:15:06Oh, no.
00:15:07My, my grand taught me to nail the school holidays, but I couldn't do it now.
00:15:24Well, you never lose it.
00:15:26It's like riding a big woolly bike.
00:15:28Hm.
00:15:29Thanks.
00:15:30Oh.
00:15:31Please don't be shy, Winter.
00:15:32I'd love a nice scarf.
00:15:33Yeah, hello.
00:15:34Oh, okay.
00:15:35Tell him to stay put.
00:15:36I'll get DS Winter over there now.
00:15:37Thanks.
00:15:38Who is that?
00:15:39Uh, they've located Estelle's husband at the bike shop.
00:15:40You go over there and see what you make of him while I talk to the girl who was expelled.
00:15:46Only, um, try not to needle him.
00:15:49What?
00:15:50You see, you've got to unravel the whole case before you can knit it back together.
00:15:55But don't let him pull the wool over your eyes.
00:16:20Lunchbox is on the table and PE kits in the wash, please.
00:16:27Please!
00:16:28Lucy seemed freaked out by all the police.
00:16:32I wasn't sure what to say.
00:16:35Oh, come on.
00:16:38Again?
00:16:39You promised that you would check next time before donating things.
00:16:44That must stuff from the attic?
00:16:46Your older wards from school, are you still going on about that?
00:16:49A tidy house helps me cope.
00:16:51What's this?
00:16:55And these?
00:16:57You know what they are.
00:16:59What are you doing?
00:17:13He said he waited.
00:17:14You didn't turn up.
00:17:16There was a bit of a problem.
00:17:17I didn't want to worry you about it.
00:17:19What sort of problem?
00:17:21Rhys!
00:17:22Okay, look.
00:17:23Don't freak out.
00:17:24But...
00:17:25Kara is not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:17:29Kara is not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:17:36You are not on a yoga retreat in Wales.
00:17:37Can't swim over everything.
00:17:38Wait.
00:17:39You have to be a social worker.
00:17:40Hey, what are you doing?
00:17:41We're going to be a happy house.
00:17:42I have to be a disciple.
00:17:43You've got to be a head of theinal compass.
00:17:44You've chosen to be a borehole.
00:17:45You've chosen to be aGHT понимate.
00:17:46You've chosen to be aoy for the other two times.
00:17:48You've chosen to be a great wife.
00:17:49I need to be a child.
00:17:50You are going to be a child.
00:17:51You've chosen to be an adult.
00:17:52Oh, my God.
00:18:22I keep my phone off on the bike, so when I turn it back on, all the missed calls, I knew it was bad. I think I...
00:18:36Can I see her? Because I think I need to for it to feel real.
00:18:42We can arrange that, of course. Were you cycling with anyone today?
00:18:47I was on my own up in the Johns.
00:18:50How long had you been married?
00:18:52Um, eight years next month. Second time lucky for both of us.
00:18:57What's the situation with Estelle's first husband?
00:18:59Left when Cara was a baby. How did you meet?
00:19:03Online.
00:19:05Online.
00:19:09She was teaching in Nottingham.
00:19:12But she always wanted to move back to Midsomer, so, um, when she got the headmistress job, we came down here.
00:19:18Yeah, we were told that she expelled a lot of students. Did that make her any enemies?
00:19:22No. It's not like she ever abandoned the kids. She'd go out of her way to find them places at another school.
00:19:29Somewhere they could start again.
00:19:33She was friends with Moira Mayhew. Is that right?
00:19:36Was. Yeah.
00:19:38She phoned on Saturday, going ballistic about this book event.
00:19:44Estelle put her on speaker and the language coming out.
00:19:48Seriously.
00:19:50She might be getting on. But she scares the hell out of me.
00:20:05So, Josie, you were on the call right until the end. But, Paul, you left a couple of minutes in.
00:20:11I'd had enough. I took myself outside to calm down.
00:20:15Hmm.
00:20:17Are the fields behind this house the school playing fields?
00:20:21I wasn't running across them to murder the headmistress, if that's where you're going.
00:20:26Hmm.
00:20:27I was in the garden. She could see me.
00:20:34Hmm.
00:20:35And what were you doing, Holly?
00:20:36Wasting my life in the park.
00:20:38I'm sorry. She's having a tricky time.
00:20:42I heard about the expulsion. You stole computer equipment.
00:20:45It was stupid. I said I was sorry.
00:20:48Someone told her form teacher, Cara Hollis.
00:20:51We thought she'd helped sort it out, but Cara told Estelle.
00:20:55No discussion. Just out.
00:20:59For a kid who's never been any trouble before.
00:21:01I mean, we know what it's really about.
00:21:03Holly's very sporty.
00:21:05She was training for the school's national championships.
00:21:08But she's not academic, as such.
00:21:11I'm really thick.
00:21:13Ah.
00:21:14That's not what she's saying.
00:21:16It's just...
00:21:18Estelle was precious about those exam results.
00:21:22So the decision was taken by the headmistress?
00:21:24I don't know why Miss Hollis even thought she could tell her.
00:21:26I thought she was all right.
00:21:29But she was so fake.
00:21:31I've got you, Holly.
00:21:34I'm always behind you.
00:21:36Always behind you?
00:21:39Are you sure you haven't been to the school today?
00:21:44Yeah.
00:21:46Because there's graffiti on the wall of Cara Hollis's art room
00:21:51with that exact phrase.
00:21:53Not in green paint?
00:21:55Yes.
00:21:56You were washing green paint off your hands when you got home.
00:21:59She told me it was off a fence in the park.
00:22:02It was just a joke.
00:22:05I was there.
00:22:06OK.
00:22:08But I didn't touch Estelle Hollis.
00:22:11Ask Dominic.
00:22:13Dominic was with you at the school?
00:22:15I went to see him after his talk.
00:22:18We were messing around in the staff room.
00:22:21But then we heard the police cars turn up.
00:22:23We made it out across the fields.
00:22:26You knew that you were young of Wollans.
00:22:29The fire 96 was Greenbot only.
00:22:31Who was young of the Virginia?
00:22:32Ask Eva.
00:22:33.
00:22:35Help me not.
00:22:39Look at us.
00:22:41And in this � is very helpful for us!
00:22:43I played this guy.
00:22:44I did a nice job.
00:22:46I can push our water würde and I did a good job.
00:22:49Qué辽 anyway?
00:22:50I was to go home.
00:22:51Oh, Causton Grammar?
00:23:14Oh, yeah. I'm a teaching assistant.
00:23:17Ah. How do you find it there?
00:23:21Oh, um, I used to like it.
00:23:24Well, since Estelle started, uh, there's a lot more politics now.
00:23:30What sort of thing?
00:23:31Everyone assumed Tim Crawford would be the next head.
00:23:34He applied for it and, uh, his wife still isn't over it.
00:23:38Was there tension between Felicity and Estelle?
00:23:41She thought Estelle was trying to push Tim out.
00:23:45I just put it down to sour grapes, but then Felicity found an email chain with the governors and, uh...
00:23:50Did she confront Estelle?
00:23:52It was weird. She was going to.
00:23:54She was all riled up and then changed the tune.
00:23:57Said it was all a misunderstanding and refused to speak about it ever since.
00:24:02Okay. Well, thank you.
00:24:03If Cara Hallis does get in contact with anyone at the school, make sure she calls me straight away.
00:24:08Does Cara not know yet?
00:24:11Surely Tim called her.
00:24:12Everyone's calling her. No reply.
00:24:14Well, if she was going to pick up to anyone, it would be Tim.
00:24:17Why do you say that?
00:24:18Um, he was her mentor in her NQT year.
00:24:24Just stuff and gossip, probably.
00:24:31Well, that was interesting.
00:24:33Follow up on Felicity Crawford's movements because there was much more tension between Felicity and
00:24:38Estelle than she led on.
00:24:40She said that she was at ballet with her kids.
00:24:43I'll check.
00:24:44Well, so I got an address for Piers Mayhew.
00:24:45His sister, Moira, definitely downplayed how hostile things were.
00:24:49Deception runs in the family, then.
00:24:52Because if Holly's telling the truth, Dominic Mayhew is lying through his teeth.
00:24:57What about?
00:24:58He told us he left the school at four.
00:25:01Holly says he was still there when Estelle was murdered.
00:25:08He told us he was still there when he left the school at four.
00:25:16Were you a kid's TV presenter?
00:25:18Yeah, guilty.
00:25:19And what were you a fan of?
00:25:21Crazy Carousel or Gunstown?
00:25:23Oh, no, I just saw the photos.
00:25:25Oh, well, before your time, obviously.
00:25:29I was glad to leave it all behind, to be honest.
00:25:32You're a children's author now.
00:25:34Yeah, it's a bit of a pivot.
00:25:36But I had this idea about a boy who can turn himself into sea creatures.
00:25:39And then, well, it, it sold rather well.
00:25:43We're here to talk about Estelle Hallis.
00:25:45I believe Moira has told you what happened.
00:25:48Indeed.
00:25:49And I'm suspect numero uno, am I.
00:25:52Well, we have some questions.
00:25:55Estelle was weak.
00:25:56She caved into pressure from the Snowflake mob.
00:25:59But as her daughter Cara had the real problem with,
00:26:01she was the one leading said mob.
00:26:02Yeah, and you had an argument with Cara online.
00:26:05There was a debate about sensitivity, rewrites in children's books,
00:26:09expunging references to characters being fat, censorship, essentially.
00:26:13And I thought very strongly about it.
00:26:15And yes, a few glasses of New World Rising had been consumed,
00:26:18and possibly I did overstep the mark,
00:26:21but nothing to justify my wholesale cancellation.
00:26:23Where were you this afternoon, around 5.45?
00:26:27Oh, I was at the Kinston Arms from five o'clock.
00:26:30Well, the landlord, Pete, can vouch for me.
00:26:37Oh, this looks amazing.
00:26:38Sorry we're so late.
00:26:40Oh, don't worry.
00:26:44How cross is Betty with me on a scale of one to teenager?
00:26:47Oh, she'll get over it.
00:26:48But listen, is it really Estelle Hallis?
00:26:51I didn't, Claire.
00:26:53I promise.
00:26:54She didn't have to.
00:26:54It's all over the teacher message group.
00:26:56Well, I would never contradict a group of educators.
00:27:00Oh, well, I remember her from that conference in Birmingham last year.
00:27:04She's a fellow historian.
00:27:06She writes about female spies in World War II.
00:27:08It's fascinating.
00:27:10I'll put it on my reading list.
00:27:11I tell you what, I did not enjoy being back in the head teacher's office again today.
00:27:17Traumatic memories.
00:27:18Oh, I loved school.
00:27:20But we know you did, head girl.
00:27:22We're an elite breed.
00:27:26I thought you'd be much more likely to get expelled.
00:27:28How dare you?
00:27:30I was an excellent head girl.
00:27:32I liked the power.
00:27:33Oh, yes, I can totally see it now.
00:27:38It was him over there getting himself expelled.
00:27:41I was not expelled.
00:27:44I was suspended.
00:27:47What did you do?
00:27:48Oh, just stupid 14-year-old stuff.
00:27:50So, Jess.
00:27:53Come on.
00:27:55We will get it out of you.
00:27:59I can assure you, you won't.
00:28:11We will get it all the time.
00:28:13Okay.
00:28:26Okay.
00:28:26We will be.
00:28:27I can assure you.
00:28:28I will get it out of you.
00:28:32I will get it out of you.
00:28:33Hi.
00:28:42Um, it's not a good time, Holly.
00:28:44I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your wife.
00:28:46I know me and her.
00:28:47She was trying to help you, Holly.
00:28:50She liked you, Holly.
00:28:51She expelled me.
00:28:52Because you stole from the school!
00:28:55Oh, nice, yeah.
00:28:56Why'd you steal these from me?
00:28:58I'm sorry.
00:28:59I just...
00:29:00Our last days were filled with nothing but stress because of you.
00:29:04Now get out!
00:29:05Blake?
00:29:06Don't come back.
00:29:08There's no job for you here anymore.
00:29:27Right, guys. Last stop.
00:29:30Have a good one.
00:29:40See you later.
00:29:41Our last one shouldn't go, please.
00:29:43Wait, wait, wait.
00:30:00We're in the middle of this house.
00:30:01I guess that we're going to stay there.
00:30:02Or you can learn all the toys.
00:30:03We just go, please.
00:30:04We're going to put them in the house.
00:30:05Do we even like this?
00:30:06But if we didn't, we're only getting here.
00:30:07And we just want to meet us.
00:30:08We are going to be right there.
00:30:10We are going back.
00:30:11We're going to have to be a mess.
00:30:12We're going to have to die now.
00:30:13Bye.
00:30:14Bye.
00:30:15Bye.
00:30:16Bye.
00:30:17Bye.
00:30:18Bye.
00:30:19Bye.
00:30:20Bye.
00:30:21Bye.
00:30:22Bye.
00:30:23Bye.
00:30:24Bye.
00:30:25Bye.
00:30:26Bye.
00:30:27Bye.
00:30:28I don't know.
00:30:58I don't know.
00:31:28I don't know.
00:31:29I don't know.
00:31:30I don't know.
00:31:31I don't know.
00:31:32I don't know.
00:31:33I don't know.
00:31:34I don't know.
00:31:36Ta-da.
00:31:37Oh.
00:31:38Thanks, sir.
00:31:39Oh.
00:31:40Yeah.
00:31:41I thought I'd get back into it.
00:31:42It's going to be good for relaxation.
00:31:43Oh, you don't have to justify it to me.
00:31:45I would just question whether green is your color.
00:31:48I'm told that it brings up my eyes.
00:31:51Oh, so it does.
00:31:53I stand corrected.
00:31:54Shall we watch some footage of a murder again, then?
00:31:57That's what we get paid for.
00:31:59I hope there'll be some kind of reflection or something, but there's nothing.
00:32:06Okay.
00:32:07Oh, they've been very careful.
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11Then at precisely 5.48.
00:32:13Anything else to see?
00:32:18No.
00:32:19They have cameras at key locations.
00:32:21We're not everywhere.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:23Oh, um, Dominic admitted to lying.
00:32:27He was, um, worried about getting in trouble for the graffiti, apparently.
00:32:31And he thought that was worth lying for in a murder investigation.
00:32:37What did you make of Estelle's husband?
00:32:39His grief seemed genuine enough, and there's no financial motive.
00:32:42Oh, she's well off.
00:32:44And five rental properties between here and the Midlands.
00:32:47Yeah, but it all goes to Cara, though.
00:32:48The solicitor sent the will through this morning.
00:32:50I assume Cara hasn't made contact overnight.
00:32:53No.
00:32:54Well, there's a text from her on Estelle's phone, though,
00:32:56sent Sunday night.
00:32:57Said that she had food poisoning and couldn't drive back,
00:32:59but I have contacted every yoga centre in Snowdonia,
00:33:02and not one of them has a record of her booking.
00:33:05Tracking her down needs to be a priority.
00:33:09I meant to be in a meeting upstairs.
00:33:11Just quickly.
00:33:13Traumatic aortic rupture.
00:33:15One clean stab.
00:33:17No hesitation.
00:33:20It's my pleasure.
00:33:22Any developments on our other case?
00:33:26What? What other case?
00:33:28I need you full-time on this.
00:33:30The case of the delinquent DCI.
00:33:34We're brainstorming reasons you got suspended from school.
00:33:37And what do you have so far?
00:33:39Setting off a fire extinguisher.
00:33:41Starting a food fight?
00:33:43Mm-mm.
00:33:44Something involving nudity.
00:33:47Miles off.
00:33:49Miles and miles.
00:33:52Miles and miles.
00:33:55You're okay.
00:34:04Mr. Crawford?
00:34:06Tim!
00:34:07Oh, hi, Moira.
00:34:09Dominic has something to say.
00:34:11Yeah, hi.
00:34:13Sorry for the damage to the staff room yesterday.
00:34:18It was me and Holly.
00:34:19Holly's the one who did the graffiti.
00:34:21He just didn't stop her.
00:34:23It sounds like we need to have a little chat.
00:34:30Right.
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:32It really wasn't his fault.
00:34:36I'm sorry.
00:34:37What were you thinking?
00:34:39How does that possibly help your case?
00:34:41I know.
00:34:42I made it all worse.
00:34:43You can still help me.
00:34:44I don't think I can.
00:34:45Not now.
00:34:46Please.
00:34:56Any idea where in Snowdonia it was?
00:34:58Aye.
00:35:02Or if she was going with anyone?
00:35:04She didn't tell me anything about it.
00:35:07She didn't take any of her yoga stuff?
00:35:10Well, she said they provided mats and everything.
00:35:15I thought you said she didn't tell you any details about the trip?
00:35:19Oh, well, yeah.
00:35:21No, she didn't.
00:35:22Just that.
00:35:24Just that one very specific thing?
00:35:29I can't do this.
00:35:32I'm feeling sick all the time.
00:35:36Look, there is no yoga retreat.
00:35:38She was supposed to fly to Boston Friday night, but she's disappeared.
00:35:43Why was she going to Boston?
00:35:44She was delivering a rare book to some American guy.
00:35:48Signed.
00:35:49First edition.
00:35:50All that.
00:35:51Except it was fake.
00:35:53Rare books?
00:35:54Is Moira Mayhew involved in this?
00:35:55I don't want to get her in trouble.
00:35:57She's just trying to put Dominic through uni and I've got a slight tax issue.
00:36:02So you're selling fake books to collectors?
00:36:04It was just this one.
00:36:05The guy paid 70 grand, so he wanted it hand-delivered.
00:36:08She asked me to do it.
00:36:10How did Cara get involved?
00:36:13I didn't think about it till I agreed, but I got arrested at a climate change protest last year.
00:36:20I, um, I can't get the paperwork to enter the US.
00:36:24So you asked Cara to go instead?
00:36:27She was meant to be on the 9pm flight.
00:36:29I've been calling and calling.
00:36:32It's like she's vanished off the face of the planet.
00:36:40Winter.
00:36:41Sorry I couldn't pick up.
00:36:42I had a feeling that Rhys Chapman was about to crack, and he did.
00:36:46Cara was never going on that yoga retreat.
00:36:49She was flying to Boston.
00:36:52No, she didn't make it, sir.
00:36:55The school caretaker found her body half an hour ago.
00:37:14It's definitely her.
00:37:16Driving license.
00:37:18No sign of her phone, though.
00:37:20This is all due to be collected today.
00:37:24Flower?
00:37:26We've got a huge depressed skull fracture.
00:37:30Rigor has completely dissipated.
00:37:32I'd say she's been dead for three or four days.
00:37:35Friday or Saturday?
00:37:37So she'd already been dead for days by the time her mother was killed.
00:37:42So the message about food poisoning is from the killer.
00:37:44Just playing for time.
00:37:46These were in her jacket.
00:37:48They're most commonly prescribed for anxiety and panic attacks.
00:37:53I can't see properly, but I think there's discoloration
00:37:59on the back of the calves and thighs where the blood settled.
00:38:04That tells us she wasn't always in this position.
00:38:09She was in a seated position somewhere.
00:38:13For at least 12 hours after death.
00:38:16Then moved to the locker.
00:38:19We're missing a crime scene.
00:38:21Well, given where she's been found, let's focus on the school.
00:38:25Contaminated by hundreds of kids, apparently.
00:38:28We'll just have to do what we can.
00:38:30That's us in Barcelona.
00:38:36We travelled round Europe together last summer on a grand tour.
00:38:43I always thought boyfriends would come and go and whatever,
00:38:47but me and Cara, I thought she'd always be in my life.
00:38:52It's a huge loss. I'm sorry.
00:38:58Well, the main thing now is that he doesn't get away with it.
00:39:02Who?
00:39:04This guy, Pierce Mayhew.
00:39:07I know who he is.
00:39:09Cara got into an argument with him online.
00:39:12Yeah, but do you know about the other account?
00:39:16Our friend from art school, his auntie used to work with Pierce on TV,
00:39:20and she told Cara all these stories about him.
00:39:23Drunk on set, abusive to runners, massive creep.
00:39:27And Cara set up an anonymous account to share the stories.
00:39:31Did Pierce know it was Cara?
00:39:33He found out last week.
00:39:35And he came to the house looking for it.
00:39:36He only left when I threatened to call the police.
00:39:40Here, hold on.
00:39:49This last post on Thursday, stay tuned, more to come.
00:39:54Any idea what that was?
00:39:56No, but he was freaking out about the press.
00:39:59Like anyone remembers who he is.
00:40:00Were you aware that Cara was taking medication for panic attacks?
00:40:06No.
00:40:08She did get a prescription last year.
00:40:10She saw an accident on a school trip, one of the instructors.
00:40:14I was worried about her popping pills though.
00:40:16I thought she decided not to.
00:40:20I can't believe she didn't tell me that.
00:40:24She was my best friend.
00:40:31When, sir?
00:40:36Oh, sir.
00:40:37Someone's given the art room a thorough bleaching.
00:40:40But there's some blood showing up by the door.
00:40:42They're testing the store cupboard now, and it's...
00:40:44Well, it's lighting up like a Christmas tree.
00:40:46Sir, we know where her body was kept. Good work.
00:40:49Oh, one more thing, sir.
00:40:51She emailed Paul Randall on Wednesday,
00:40:53saying that she would contact the driving agency
00:40:55if he didn't do it himself.
00:40:56Paul then asked for a meeting with her.
00:40:58Do we know if that meeting took place?
00:40:59Well, he's not on the visitor log, but Rhys Chapman is.
00:41:02He's down as visiting Cara 1-15 on Friday.
00:41:05That's the only entry I can find for him.
00:41:07Interesting.
00:41:08He didn't mention that.
00:41:10Well, let's pay the Randalls a visit,
00:41:12but first we need to talk to Piers Mayhew.
00:41:14It turns out that Cara was getting ready to destroy his reputation.
00:41:21People spread rumours online all the time.
00:41:23Nobody's going to pay attention to Cara.
00:41:26You seem very sure about that.
00:41:27Look, I wish you could help.
00:41:30But I was sitting in that chair most of the weekend,
00:41:32working on the next novel.
00:41:33Yes, I...
00:41:34OK, I did run a few errands,
00:41:35so if you can give me a more specific time...
00:41:38So you can ask someone to lie for you?
00:41:41Like you did when Estelle was killed?
00:41:44Don't know what you mean.
00:41:46We spoke to the landlord of the Kyniston Arms on our way over here.
00:41:49Your friend Pete.
00:41:50Except he says he's not your friend.
00:41:53And he was only too happy to report that you were not at his pub from 5pm yesterday.
00:41:59You got there over an hour later at 6.15 and had one drink.
00:42:03And then phoned him and asked him to lie.
00:42:05OK, OK, you got me.
00:42:06I've been extremely foolish.
00:42:09I listened to Moira and that was a mistake.
00:42:12What's Moira got to do with this?
00:42:13Well, she was afraid I'd be a suspect.
00:42:16And with good reason, as it turns out.
00:42:18Anyway, her panic was infectious and she persuaded me to get myself an alibi in a populated place as soon as possible.
00:42:24So where were you really when Estelle was killed?
00:42:27Well, unhelpfully for all of us, I was sitting at that computer writing.
00:42:33A task I must get back to.
00:42:35If there's nothing else.
00:42:38Nothing for now.
00:42:40You're probably safe to take Pete off your Christmas card list though.
00:42:43My grandmother had it and she lived right into her 80s so we know it's not a death sentence.
00:42:55But still, MS.
00:42:59It's not what you want to hear.
00:43:01Of course.
00:43:03And you drive for a living.
00:43:05I was planning to declare it.
00:43:07And I do get it, I'm driving kids around.
00:43:09But what if I need a test to keep my license?
00:43:12I wanted all the work lined up first.
00:43:15He's been keeping the driving to a minimum.
00:43:18But then another bill comes in.
00:43:20We overstretched on this place.
00:43:23It's got quite tight.
00:43:25You don't have to pretend.
00:43:27I know we're losing the house.
00:43:29And it's my fault, Karen.
00:43:31I told her about Dad's diagnosis back when I thought I could trust her.
00:43:35Before I killed her.
00:43:36That is.
00:43:37Obviously.
00:43:38Holly.
00:43:39That's a sick joke to make.
00:43:40Why would you say that?
00:43:41Why else are they here though?
00:43:43They don't care about your health.
00:43:45Or my education.
00:43:47Or how you pay your bills.
00:43:49They think one of us did it.
00:43:51That's the only reason they're talking to us.
00:43:53I really do apologize.
00:43:55It's okay, we're here to ask difficult questions.
00:43:58And yes, it would be helpful if you could tell us where you were from Friday afternoon to Saturday night.
00:44:03Friday we were all here and Saturday Paul was at the shops and me and Holly were doing the garden.
00:44:09It's Blake Anderson you should be talking to.
00:44:12His wife and stepdaughter are both dead and he's super aggressive.
00:44:16Your boyfriend said that you liked working with Blake.
00:44:20That was before he lost it with me.
00:44:22Like I honestly thought he was going to hit me.
00:44:25I was just trying to give him some flowers.
00:44:28When was this?
00:44:29Last night?
00:44:30So instead of harassing my disabled dad, perhaps you could ask Blake why he has anger issues.
00:44:37And then you could leave us alone.
00:44:59Holly?
00:45:02What were you looking at?
00:45:05Holly?
00:45:29Oh.
00:45:30There's more in the dish if you'd like some.
00:45:39Ooh.
00:45:41Is that Estelle's academic work?
00:45:45No.
00:45:46Photos.
00:45:47From her phone.
00:45:48Just checking I'm not missing anything.
00:45:49It looks like she did a knitting course at Top Yarns.
00:45:53Oh.
00:45:54I thought maybe it was her research because she's marked up the stitches with letters.
00:46:10Estelle was a historian.
00:46:12What would that have to do with knitting?
00:46:13Remember I said that she'd written about female spies in World War II.
00:46:19I remember everything you say.
00:46:22Well sometimes they use knitting to hide messages.
00:46:25So they'd do sequences of smooth stitches and then raised stitches like that.
00:46:30And it would spell out words.
00:46:32In Morse code.
00:46:34One of the spies was called Phyllis Latour.
00:46:36Well hang on.
00:46:37Phyllis Latour?
00:46:38This artwork is called Ooh La La Tour.
00:46:41Unless it's Ooh La La Tour, in which case she wasn't learning to knit, she was deciphering a code.
00:46:48Can you read this?
00:46:50I could give it a go, but you probably need a knitter really.
00:46:54And I know just the man.
00:46:55Is everything okay with Holly?
00:46:56Mm-hmm.
00:46:57She's fine.
00:46:58I wanted to speak to you.
00:47:02Look, I'm her mother, aren't I?
00:47:03So I love her, no matter what.
00:47:04Okay.
00:47:05And you love her too.
00:47:06Enough to want to protect her.
00:47:07Okay.
00:47:08And you love her too.
00:47:09Enough to want to protect her.
00:47:13I think you know what I'm asking you, Dominic.
00:47:14I need you to tell me, that you're broken.
00:47:20And you know, I don't know.
00:47:22If I could give you my hand to put back on the phone.
00:47:23Is everything okay with Holly?
00:47:24Is everything okay with Holly?
00:47:26Mm-hm.
00:47:27She's fine.
00:47:29Okay.
00:47:30And you love her too.
00:47:32Enough to want to protect her.
00:47:38I think you know what I'm asking you, Dominic.
00:47:41I need you to tell me the truth.
00:47:55Oh, that's great.
00:47:57What does it say?
00:47:58You're kidding, right? This is going to take me ages.
00:48:00I have the utmost faith in you.
00:48:02Anything more overnight?
00:48:04Oh, yes.
00:48:05Digital flagged something weird in Kara's...
00:48:09Sorry.
00:48:10Kara's search history.
00:48:12She kept searching for a Terence McGregor maths.
00:48:17Well, it seems that he was a professor of applied mathematics,
00:48:20lived in Badger's Drift, died five years ago, aged 87.
00:48:23And no obvious connection to Kara?
00:48:24Not that I can find.
00:48:26Well, keep digging.
00:48:27Okay, mother and daughter both killed on school grounds.
00:48:31Kara was killed first, so presumably it all starts with her.
00:48:34The last sighting of Kara was 4.50 p.m. on Friday
00:48:37when the in-person PTA meeting disbanded.
00:48:40When Moira threw a chair at her.
00:48:42Moira could have followed her into the classroom after the argument.
00:48:45What if Kara revealed that she knew about the book fraud?
00:48:49Or, um, Holly has to be high on our list.
00:48:52Well, she's impulsive.
00:48:53She felt betrayed by both Kara and Estelle.
00:48:56Mm, yeah.
00:48:58Oh, we need to speak to Felicity Crawford again.
00:49:00I just heard back from the ballet studio that her kids go to,
00:49:03and they missed their lesson on Monday.
00:49:05So I called their primary school,
00:49:07and she booked them in to stay late.
00:49:11So Felicity lied about where she was when Estelle was killed.
00:49:15I'd like to talk to her about that,
00:49:17and about the staffer in gossip surrounding her husband and Kara.
00:49:24Hey, what's going on here? Come on, come on.
00:49:26What about I told you before? I told you now.
00:49:28I did sort of tweet that Kara had a crush on me.
00:49:36Did I do enough to discourage it?
00:49:38Probably not.
00:49:40It's nice to have the attention.
00:49:43You know what it's like.
00:49:44She was like a lovesick puppy.
00:49:46Hey, Tim had to have a word with her.
00:49:51It was reassuring, in a way.
00:49:55Wrong classroom.
00:49:56Sorry, miss.
00:50:03Reassuring that Kara had a crush on your husband.
00:50:06Well, no, that she made it so obvious.
00:50:09I mean, something had been going on,
00:50:10then she would have been more careful, wouldn't she?
00:50:13No lines were crossed.
00:50:15Not even slightly.
00:50:18Do you have any idea why your wife lied about taking your daughters to ballet on Monday?
00:50:24What?
00:50:25Where were they then?
00:50:26I went to see a psychotherapist.
00:50:31That's not what you said before.
00:50:33I lied because Tim was there,
00:50:36and it wasn't something that I wanted to discuss in front of my husband.
00:50:39I think there must be some crossed wires.
00:50:47Felicity and I, we don't have secrets.
00:50:51That is one complicated marriage.
00:50:54See if the therapist backs her up.
00:50:55Sir, there's been a new voicemail left on Estelle's mobile.
00:50:59It's from Dominic's university tutor.
00:51:01Apparently got himself kicked out.
00:51:03Estelle was trying to help.
00:51:04Oh, it's Sarah.
00:51:07Hmm?
00:51:07Why is she calling you?
00:51:10Oh, I'll speak to Dominic.
00:51:13Hi, Sarah.
00:51:14Yeah, he's just realized.
00:51:17Non-attendance lectures.
00:51:19Failure to submit essays.
00:51:21After everything I did to help you get in there.
00:51:24The coaching, the extra tutorials.
00:51:29Maybe that was the problem.
00:51:32When I had to do it for myself, I couldn't cope, could I?
00:51:35You never let me learn to cope.
00:51:41I spoke to your tutor, Dominic.
00:51:44He said that Estelle called him at 4.30pm on Monday.
00:51:48That's about an hour before she was killed,
00:51:50saying that you had just left her office in a highly emotional state.
00:51:54She called them for me.
00:51:56She said she couldn't, and Mr. Crawford had already tried.
00:51:58Tim Crawford knew about this.
00:52:00He was trying to help.
00:52:01Just to be clear, Dominic,
00:52:02you're admitting that you met Estelle shortly before she was murdered,
00:52:06that you were in her office, and that you were upset.
00:52:08Well, I talked to her, but I didn't do anything.
00:52:12You told us that you just knocked on the office door,
00:52:14that you didn't go in.
00:52:14This is the third version of events you've given us?
00:52:17You've made everything so much harder for yourself.
00:52:22Why did you lie?
00:52:24Because I mess things up.
00:52:28It's what I do.
00:52:30Because I'm stupid.
00:52:32I need a minute.
00:52:33No, no, Dom!
00:52:35I have a few questions for you, Moira, as well.
00:52:40About your book fraud.
00:52:43My... what?
00:52:45Fake first editions.
00:52:47Forged signatures.
00:52:49Rhys told my colleague everything.
00:52:50It's not my usual way of doing things, I can assure you.
00:53:06It's more Kara's involvement that we're focusing on now.
00:53:08She knew about the scam.
00:53:10Did she threaten to reveal it?
00:53:11I didn't know she was involved until Rhys told me on Monday.
00:53:17I'm telling you the truth.
00:53:21Yeah, I'd make a joke about forgetfulness, but I can't remember how it goes.
00:53:24Well, come in, because you know what occurred to me this morning.
00:53:28You remember my old head of science who moved to Nottingham?
00:53:31Well, he ended up at the school that Estelle used to teach at.
00:53:34So, I gave him a ring this morning, and Estelle's husband, Blake Anderson,
00:53:39not Blake Anderson at all.
00:53:42What do you mean?
00:53:43Well, his real name is Benjamin Ashton.
00:53:45He went to prison for conning three separate women out of their life savings.
00:53:49They met when she was volunteering as a prison educator.
00:53:52So, his whole marriage to Estelle, that could be another romance scam.
00:53:57You should come and interview him with me.
00:53:59You're great at this.
00:54:00It's not difficult.
00:54:01I don't know why you always make it such a song and dance about it.
00:54:16It took me a long time to believe that she liked me,
00:54:20because obviously she knew my past.
00:54:22It was all out there on the table.
00:54:26But she believed in new starts.
00:54:28She was willing to back me, and that made me think I can back myself, you know?
00:54:36What about Cara? Did she know?
00:54:39We told her we met online.
00:54:40You should have been up front with us from the beginning.
00:54:42I was going to tell you, but I couldn't.
00:54:49So it's all at the bottom of the lake now.
00:54:51What is?
00:54:53My old life.
00:54:54Well, what was left of it.
00:54:56Mementos and photos of my parents.
00:55:00I threw them away.
00:55:01I was afraid you were going to search my shop.
00:55:03Where were you over the weekend?
00:55:09Uh, at home.
00:55:10With Estelle.
00:55:12But I can only give you my word for that, and I know that's not worth much.
00:55:17In light of Cara's death, your wife's estate is all yours.
00:55:21Her pension, her property.
00:55:22It is, yeah.
00:55:23I think it's worth quite a lot.
00:55:28But Estelle is the one person who knew every last bit of me and said yes to it all.
00:55:38So I profit from this.
00:55:39Yeah, I know I do.
00:55:41But all I can think about is what I've lost.
00:55:44Oh, you're Dominic's girlfriend, aren't you?
00:56:02Yeah.
00:56:03And what do you want?
00:56:07Money.
00:56:14It's a bit peckish.
00:56:17No, it's for the guys at the station.
00:56:20I mean, helping me with this knitted artwork.
00:56:22And, wow.
00:56:26These stitches in the speech bubble are indeed Morse code.
00:56:30And it's all about Cara.
00:56:32It's basically Rhys declaring his love for her.
00:56:34Oh, I assumed you would.
00:56:36Oh, ignore me.
00:56:37And never assume.
00:56:39So Estelle understood the reference to Phyllis Latour
00:56:43and cracked the code only to discover it was about her own daughter.
00:56:47And if Estelle told Cara, then that would make sense
00:56:50of the message that she sent her mother on Friday morning.
00:56:55Here.
00:56:55I'm worried.
00:56:56It's obvious I know.
00:56:58I'll need to have the talk.
00:57:00So you think Cara was planning to confront Rhys?
00:57:03Well, it could be why he visited the school on Friday.
00:57:05And she asked him to talk.
00:57:06And then she rejected him.
00:57:08And he snapped.
00:57:10You put Phil for less.
00:57:13Sir.
00:57:20Hello.
00:57:21Oh, my God.
00:57:38Oh, my God.
00:57:41Both computers are still here. All my first editions are accounted for. I don't understand
00:58:02it.
00:58:03Well, they must have been looking for something.
00:58:06I've no idea what.
00:58:08I've left my stuff alone. I don't think there's much of a market in stolen knitting needles.
00:58:12I'm sure you're right. Can I have a word with you in private?
00:58:15Yeah, if you need to.
00:58:19I've got things to do upstairs.
00:58:22Thank you. Shall we go through there?
00:58:30It's about your relationship with Cara. Is it purely platonic?
00:58:35Of course, yeah.
00:58:37On both sides?
00:58:38I'm not sure what you're getting at.
00:58:42The message in the speech bubble.
00:58:45Do you want me to spell it out for you?
00:58:48Well, that's art. It doesn't literally mean...
00:58:51I think it does.
00:58:53You were in love with Cara.
00:58:56You couldn't tell her, so you poured it into your art.
00:58:59But Estelle spotted the Latour reference, didn't she?
00:59:12It all came out last week.
00:59:14Because I've been dating men for so long, Cara forgot that bi does actually mean bi.
00:59:20She was acting like I tricked her or something.
00:59:24So she rejected you?
00:59:27The rejection, I could handle it.
00:59:29It was the awkwardness.
00:59:31It was like she was wary around me. It was awful.
00:59:34Is that why you visited Cara at school on Friday?
00:59:37I just needed to make things right before she got on the plane.
00:59:40And she said we were good, but we weren't.
00:59:46I could feel it.
00:59:47And after that conversation, what did you do?
00:59:50I went straight back home.
00:59:53Look, it's obvious where you're taking this, and you're so wrong.
00:59:58I could never, ever hurt Cara.
01:00:01One more thing for now.
01:00:03Does the name Terence McGregor mean anything to you?
01:00:06I've never heard of him.
01:00:08He was a maths professor. Cara seemed to be researching him.
01:00:11I know who he is.
01:00:13I couldn't help overhearing.
01:00:15I bought some crates of books from his estate when he died.
01:00:19Turned out to include some highly sought-after talkings.
01:00:23But I don't know why on earth Cara was interested.
01:00:37Rotten fish in the air vent?
01:00:40What?
01:00:41Fifty chickens in the staff room.
01:00:44A truckload of horse manure in the car park.
01:00:49Are you really so desperate to know what got me suspended?
01:00:53I most certainly am.
01:00:56Well, Dr. Perkins, I will tell you on one condition.
01:01:01Name it.
01:01:02Under no circumstances does this get back to winter.
01:01:06It was a weed killer on the school sports field, applied to burn the grass in a certain shape.
01:01:19A shape a teenage boy might find amusing.
01:01:23The very one.
01:01:25Lucky to get away with just a suspension.
01:01:27Oh, I got a lot more than that.
01:01:29My parents persuaded a police officer friend to turn up on our doorstep in uniform.
01:01:36He said he had some questions. He frightened the hell out of me.
01:01:38Stellar parenting.
01:01:40Yeah.
01:01:41But then his questions were all about why I'd done it.
01:01:47He was genuinely curious about why I was acting out, you know.
01:01:52And he showed me that you could make a mistake and it could be okay.
01:01:57You could come back from it.
01:01:59I sometimes wonder if that conversation was the reason I became a police officer.
01:02:06That's actually really nice.
01:02:12I became a pathologist because I like knives.
01:02:17And on the subject of pathology...
01:02:19Ah, yes.
01:02:21Cause of death was the depressed skull fracture.
01:02:25She was hit once, very hard, with a pointed object.
01:02:30This was on display in the art room.
01:02:33Traces of blood and bleach.
01:02:35I've sent it to the lab for DNA.
01:02:38Sorry I'm late.
01:02:41Felicity's therapist called.
01:02:42She was with him when Estelle was killed.
01:02:44But Tim and Felicity both accounted for them.
01:02:49Yeah.
01:02:51What?
01:02:53No, it's just...
01:02:54It's not impossible they're working with a third party, is it?
01:02:57It's just something the therapist said.
01:02:59He assumed that I was calling because Estelle had followed through on a threat
01:03:03that she made to Felicity about going to the police.
01:03:06What about?
01:03:07Well, he wouldn't say, client confidentiality.
01:03:10But I looked him up online and he's an addiction specialist.
01:03:14This is humiliating.
01:03:21We're not here to embarrass you.
01:03:23We just need the facts.
01:03:24Felicity gets quite anxious.
01:03:27Ever since the girls were born, really.
01:03:30We all deal with stress in different ways, don't we?
01:03:33And for Felicity, she...
01:03:35Well, she takes things without pain.
01:03:40Shortlifting.
01:03:42It just happens when things get on top of me.
01:03:47It's not even the stuff that she wants.
01:03:49Most of it ends up in the bin.
01:03:51Did Estelle know about this?
01:03:53No.
01:03:54Yes.
01:03:55Well, she did.
01:03:58I mean, when I tried to talk to her about the way she was treating you,
01:04:03she said that...
01:04:05She said that she'd noticed me taking things.
01:04:10Christmas fairs, summer fates.
01:04:14I mean, she framed it as concern, you know, how can I help?
01:04:18The message was clear.
01:04:23She had something over you.
01:04:25Well, that doesn't mean anything, does it?
01:04:27You know that Felicity didn't kill Estelle.
01:04:30She can't be in two places at the same time.
01:04:46What's this?
01:04:47Uh, music festival in Croatia.
01:04:50I need you to give these to Dominic.
01:04:52Help him go over the Stuart-iversity business.
01:04:56Since when did you take the slightest interest in Dominic?
01:05:01Since he and his girlfriend took an interest in me.
01:05:13Really good. Well done. Really good.
01:05:17I've got a surprise for you from your uncle.
01:05:20Dominic?
01:05:22Dominic, I've got a surprise for you from your uncle.
01:05:41Dominic?
01:05:42Don!
01:05:43Don!
01:05:58No!
01:06:02Dominic!
01:06:07Dominic!
01:06:13Dominic!
01:06:14Dominic!
01:06:21Dominic!
01:06:22Dominic!
01:06:23Dominic!
01:06:24Dominic!
01:06:25Dominic!
01:06:26Dominic!
01:06:27Dominic!
01:06:28Dominic!
01:06:29Dominic!
01:06:30Dominic!
01:06:31Dominic!
01:06:32Dominic!
01:06:33Dominic!
01:06:34Dominic!
01:06:35There's nothing obviously missing as far as Moira can tell.
01:06:37She can barely speak.
01:06:38The knitting needle hit the carotid artery.
01:06:42Massive blood loss, triggering brain hypoxia.
01:06:46Moira said that the shop was closed.
01:06:48This has got to be linked to the break-in, surely?
01:06:51No sign of forced entry this time, and no obvious struggle.
01:06:55Dominic led them in.
01:06:56He trusted them.
01:06:57Well, they had their own keys.
01:06:59Besides Dominic and Moira, that leaves Rhys and Piers.
01:07:12What's Holly said so far?
01:07:17She claims she was here all morning.
01:07:19Left at 12.30.
01:07:20She sent me these, which were taken around midday.
01:07:33Hmm.
01:07:34That globe has been moved.
01:07:36Is it still somewhere in the flat?
01:07:37I'm not sure.
01:07:38Do you think it's valuable?
01:07:40Well, it looks old.
01:07:42Let's check it's still here, sir.
01:07:44I'm going to talk to Holly.
01:07:56He was fine when I left him.
01:07:58I swear.
01:07:59Nobody's accusing you, Holly.
01:08:01Just tell him what you told us about Piers.
01:08:05Piers doesn't write his own books.
01:08:08He stole them.
01:08:10Me and Dominic started blackmailing him about it.
01:08:13Hmm.
01:08:16What do you mean, he stole them?
01:08:18It was years ago.
01:08:21Dominic came across these old notebooks
01:08:22in the bottom of a box in the shop.
01:08:25They belonged to some lecturer who died.
01:08:28A maths lecturer.
01:08:31Um, Terence McGregor.
01:08:32Yeah.
01:08:34That's it.
01:08:35Um...
01:08:37They were full of these handwritten stories.
01:08:42Dominic got really into them.
01:08:45Piers had a look and wanted to borrow them.
01:08:48Who else knew about this?
01:08:51Piers gave Dominic £500 to keep quiet.
01:08:55Then Dominic told me.
01:08:58And when Cara got into the whole thing with Piers online,
01:09:01I told her.
01:09:03Was Cara threatening to go public?
01:09:06She said she needed to check it was true first.
01:09:11But I went to see him yesterday.
01:09:13You went to blackmail him?
01:09:15He agreed to pay for a few things.
01:09:18As long as we kept quiet.
01:09:21I was so excited to tell him.
01:09:25But now what if I've got him killed?
01:09:28The only person responsible for Dominic's death
01:09:31is the person who killed him.
01:09:39What's up?
01:09:41No sign of that globe.
01:09:43Moira said that she was collecting things at the shop
01:09:44for the PTA jumble sale.
01:09:46It came in as a donation.
01:09:48Cara saw it, said that she liked it,
01:09:50and asked Moira to put it aside for her.
01:09:52Wait a minute.
01:09:53So Cara showed an interest in this globe
01:09:55and then Dominic had it in his possession
01:09:57until it vanished around the time he was killed.
01:10:00You're thinking whoever killed Dominic
01:10:02took the globe from the flat. Why?
01:10:04Logically, there would be two options.
01:10:06They wanted it themselves,
01:10:08or they wanted to stop someone else getting hold of it.
01:10:11In which case, what have they done with it?
01:10:12Hidden it? Disposed of it?
01:10:13Get Uniform to have a look around just in the immediate area
01:10:17in case they dumped it straight away.
01:10:19In the meantime, I have some questions for Piers Mayhew,
01:10:23Midsummer's premier plagiarist, apparently.
01:10:30What globe?
01:10:32I've been sitting here the whole time writing.
01:10:33It's what I do.
01:10:35Hmm. The new novel.
01:10:37How's that going?
01:10:39Slowly.
01:10:40I'd like you to read this, please.
01:10:54I know what it says.
01:10:58These stories.
01:11:00None of them are yours.
01:11:02You stole them.
01:11:03I used the material as a springboard, that's all.
01:11:07It's plagiarism.
01:11:09But as you like stories.
01:11:11Once upon a time, Dominic told Holly that you stole your novels.
01:11:16Holly told Kara, and she was going to tell the world only before she had a chance.
01:11:22She was killed.
01:11:24This is absurd. I did not do this.
01:11:26Plot twist.
01:11:28Kara told her mother, Estelle.
01:11:31And she was killed too.
01:11:36If you have evidence to arrest me, go ahead.
01:11:40Otherwise this little storytelling session is over.
01:11:44Piers has to be top of our list.
01:11:56Estelle, Kara, and Dominic were blowing his world apart between them.
01:12:01I don't suppose that globe's turned up?
01:12:03No. Uniform check.
01:12:04The wheelie bins, the public litter bins, the park.
01:12:08What?
01:12:09I walked past that fencing a few hours ago. It wasn't pulled open like that.
01:12:15Are you serious?
01:12:18I'm serious.
01:12:20Okay, fine.
01:12:25I really should have stopped buying your suits.
01:12:28With respect, sir, this is a complete waste of...
01:12:33Hold on.
01:12:40Ah.
01:12:42You were saying?
01:12:43That your hunches are always right, sir.
01:12:56Prize for academic excellence presented to...
01:13:00Timothy Hillary Crawford, year eight, by Mr. Vincent Bell, headmaster.
01:13:05Oh.
01:13:07This is Tim Crawford's globe.
01:13:09Tim's?
01:13:11From when he was at school?
01:13:13Okay.
01:13:15But if this was in the PTA donations, then why did Kara ask Moira to put it aside for her?
01:13:20I think I might know.
01:13:22Vincent Bell, here, look.
01:13:24Vincent Bell, 72, fell to his death while facilitating a residential trip for a group of year 12 students from Causton Grammar.
01:13:32That's the school trip Tim organized in the Lake District.
01:13:36Hmm. And the man who died was his old headmaster.
01:13:39Kara witnessed the accident on that school trip, too.
01:13:43Reece said that's what started her panic attacks.
01:13:46Was she aware that the man she saw die was Tim's headmaster?
01:13:50Was it only seeing this globe that told her that?
01:13:53Come on.
01:13:55He was just a random old guy helping out at the center.
01:14:02But Kara saw his body hit the ground and that's why she couldn't sleep for ages.
01:14:06Did she mention that Tim knew him from when he was at school?
01:14:10What? No.
01:14:12She definitely would have mentioned that.
01:14:14That as far as she was concerned, he was a stranger to both of them.
01:14:17What did Kara say when she asked you to keep the globe for her?
01:14:19Just to make sure it didn't end up with the jumble sale stuff?
01:14:24She said she needed to show it to someone.
01:14:29Take good care of each other.
01:14:30Yeah.
01:14:40So Tim never let on that he knew Vincent Bell.
01:14:43And then Kara saw the globe, saw the names, and made the connection.
01:14:47Exactly. And there's one obvious reason why Tim would cover up his connection to Vincent Bell, isn't there?
01:14:54It wasn't an accident.
01:14:55Well, so, but it can't be Tim though, can it? We have him on video when Estelle was murdered.
01:15:01And even if he was working with his wife or something, we know that she was with his therapist.
01:15:05I know.
01:15:07But what if there was a way to be in two places at once?
01:15:14There. Slow that down.
01:15:15It actually cuts out for a split second. 546 precisely.
01:15:25Two minutes before Estelle is killed. You could run from Tim's classroom to Estelle's office in that time.
01:15:32Tim said he was having technical issues.
01:15:34You know, it's possible that all the footage we're seeing after it cuts out was pre-filmed.
01:15:43Go to the bit with the javelin.
01:15:49Look at the timestamp.
01:15:50It's not 548 in a few seconds. It's 548 on the absolute dot.
01:15:57He timed the javelin to coordinate with his faked reaction on the pre-filmed footage.
01:16:08So you go on my whistle!
01:16:10Mr. Crawford?
01:16:16We haven't informed the students yet.
01:16:20Doesn't feel real, does it?
01:16:22I mean...
01:16:24Who wanted to hurt Dominic?
01:16:26Oh, indeed.
01:16:29I believe this belongs to you.
01:16:33Why don't you tell us about Vincent Bell?
01:16:37Or Mr. Bell, as I suppose he was to you.
01:16:40Being your headmaster?
01:16:41I don't want to talk about him.
01:16:45Not here.
01:16:56We know what you did.
01:16:59We have a good idea how you did it.
01:17:03I'd just like to know why.
01:17:05Why?
01:17:08Because he was a monster!
01:17:15He was a bully!
01:17:17He belittled us, terrified us, day and night!
01:17:21Was this a boarding school?
01:17:23Yes!
01:17:25There's no escape!
01:17:26You know, I know for a fact there are men out there, middle-aged men.
01:17:31They're suffering from depression.
01:17:33Unable to form relationships because of the damage that he did!
01:17:37You tried to be a good student.
01:17:39You know, the day that I won that, he said it made me conceited.
01:17:50He made me take off my socks and shoes and run 20 laps around the school.
01:18:01And when he saw that my feet were bleeding, do you know what he did, DCI Barnaby?
01:18:10He smiled.
01:18:12That man was a sadist!
01:18:14Then all those years later at the outdoor centre, there he was.
01:18:26It was recorded as an abseiling accident.
01:18:31Yeah, he was setting up a line so he was close to the edge.
01:18:37Excuse me.
01:18:38Did I think he...
01:18:43Hello, Timothy.
01:18:46I thought I recognised the name.
01:18:49I was back there.
01:18:52It was a 13-year-old little boy.
01:18:56I was humiliated.
01:18:58Frightened.
01:19:00But there was this anger inside of me.
01:19:03I was so incredibly angry!
01:19:06And I knew, I knew in that moment it was so clear.
01:19:15Now the only way for a man like Vincent Bell to face consequences,
01:19:21was for a man like me to make him.
01:19:24But Kara saw it.
01:19:29Kara...
01:19:31She saw something.
01:19:34I...
01:19:36I never knew exactly how much, but...
01:19:40She trusted me.
01:19:44And you used that.
01:19:46You made her believe your lies over the evidence of her own eyes until...
01:19:52That was hidden in the back of an attic.
01:19:54I'd forgotten it existed.
01:19:57Oh, and then when Felicity had given it to her jumble sale,
01:20:01it was like this grenade was out there waiting to go off.
01:20:04I couldn't track it down.
01:20:06Kara spotted it in the donations at the shop.
01:20:09She saw your name and his name engraved side by side.
01:20:13Difficult for her to make the connection.
01:20:15I saw you. You had your hands on him.
01:20:16I was trying to grab him.
01:20:18But you knew him.
01:20:20There's only one reason you'd lie about that.
01:20:26I'm sorry.
01:20:27Where are you going?
01:20:29Kara, please.
01:20:33She was going to the police.
01:20:36You hid her body in a cupboard.
01:20:39You moved it to the locker at the weekend.
01:20:41You knew they were going to the tip.
01:20:44But what if she'd confided in someone else?
01:20:47I read her messages.
01:20:50And that there was one to Estelle.
01:20:53Something like, um...
01:20:55I'm worried.
01:20:57He knows that I know.
01:20:59We believe that message referred to something else.
01:21:04It was about her friend Rhys.
01:21:06It had nothing to do with you.
01:21:12How did you fake the video call footage?
01:21:16Um...
01:21:18I filmed myself over the weekend and switched the feeds.
01:21:22Counseling an event at such short notice is an insult to the work of this committee.
01:21:30Do you have any idea how difficult it is to secure a speaker like Piers Mayhew?
01:21:37He is your brother.
01:21:38Was it that difficult to book him?
01:21:42He is the region's best-selling children's offer.
01:21:46In his recent address on social media, I simply don't see how...
01:21:51We appreciate it.
01:21:53Item two on the agenda.
01:21:55Second-hand uniform sale.
01:21:57So you ran over there.
01:21:59They were too busy shouting at each other to pay any attention to me.
01:22:02I knew there would be.
01:22:03And, as a PTA head, I am entitled to call an emergency.
01:22:08Existence.
01:22:09Existence.
01:22:11Existence.
01:22:13Existence.
01:22:14Existence.

01:22:30Existence.
01:22:31Existence.
01:22:32Existence.
01:22:33Existence.
01:22:34I was there, but when I broke it, I couldn't find it.
01:22:37You know, I knew that Dominic had seen it, though.
01:22:40That graffiti in the staff room.
01:22:43I never told them my middle name.
01:22:46You were afraid that he'd work it out?
01:22:49He knew about the incident on the school trip.
01:22:51Everyone did.
01:22:55There you go.
01:22:56Oh, thanks.
01:22:58Oh.
01:22:59Presented to Timothy Hillary Crawford.
01:23:02Year eight by Mr. Vincent Bell, headmaster.
01:23:06Imagine going through school with a middle name, Hillary.
01:23:10Vincent Bell?
01:23:12I knew I heard that name.
01:23:14That old guy who died on the year 12 trip.
01:23:17Was it?
01:23:18I can't remember now.
01:23:20Yeah, it definitely was.
01:23:22Bell's a pretty common name.
01:23:25But the Vincent Bell who died was a retired teacher.
01:23:28It said so in the papers.
01:23:29Sir, why would you say you didn't know?
01:23:36You killed him.
01:23:3819 years old.
01:23:40I didn't want to.
01:23:44I just thought if I could get the globe back.
01:23:46You murdered Kara, Estelle, and Dominic to cover up the truth about Vincent Bell's death.
01:23:52Where was this going to end?
01:23:55Holly Randall saw that globe too.
01:23:58Was she next?
01:23:59A week ago.
01:24:07That was me.
01:24:10The good teacher.
01:24:14A good man.
01:24:18That's the one thing Vincent Bell did for me.
01:24:23He made me want to be a teacher too so that I could do better.
01:24:26And I did do better.
01:24:38I don't understand how I let this happen.
01:24:40I don't understand what happened.
01:24:43I don't understand why I let this happen.
01:24:44I don't know.
01:24:45I don't know.
01:24:45I don't know.
01:24:46I don't know.
01:24:46I don't know.
01:24:47Sir.
01:24:48Sir.
01:24:49Who must have left this in the office?
01:25:17Oh, that, thank you.
01:25:23That's great.
01:25:24Oh, it's brilliant.
01:25:25Rebel.
01:25:26You don't know the half.
01:25:28Mm-hmm.
01:25:31I'm going to join you for the second round, actually.
01:25:32There's, there's something I need to do first.
01:25:47It's OK.
01:25:51I haven't come to interrogate you.
01:25:52I just thought you might be feeling like you've messed up
01:25:56and that there's no way to come back from it.
01:25:58So I just wanted to tell you about something.
01:26:02What is it?
01:26:04Something incredibly stupid that I did when I was around your age
01:26:09involving a sports field and a bottle of weed killer.
01:26:14Well, I don't get it.
01:26:16What was it?
01:26:18Well, it turned out it was the making of me.
01:26:25All right, come on in.
01:26:37Just once around the block?
01:26:38Yeah.
01:26:39As long as he gets a decent walk at lunchtime, he'll be fine.
01:26:42What do you look like, eh?
01:26:44No, I'm sorry about that.
01:26:45I'll get the next round in.
01:26:46There's no need.
01:26:47It's on Jamie.
01:26:48Ah.
01:26:49Who will also be dog sitting next weekend,
01:26:53jet washing the patio, and helping you trim that edge.
01:26:56Because we brokered a deal.
01:27:01Everything tells me this is bad.
01:27:03So I finally went through the boxes in the shed, and it turns out
01:27:08your mother kept it.
01:27:09The local paper, with a full page spread, detailing your little teenage incident that led to your suspension.
01:27:17Oh.
01:27:24Oh.
01:27:25Oh.
01:27:26Nobody breathes a word of this to Betty, OK?
01:27:29Because I am supposed to set an example.
01:27:31I am a figure of authority and sound judgment.
01:27:34Oh, for goodness sake, it's not that funny.
01:27:36It is.
01:27:37I mean, the sheer scale of this artwork.
01:27:40Anatomically correct?
01:27:42Yes.
01:27:42I mean, you could see it from space.
01:27:44It did take me quite a while.
01:27:47This is amazing.
01:27:50This might be the greatest day of my life.
01:27:57Yes.
01:28:07Oh.
01:28:11I'm grateful.
01:28:13I can be too.
