A Taste for Death (Part 1)

Oh! Don't, Darren!
Come away from the edge!
Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
That's odd.
Father Barnes must be here.
Father Barnes?
Can I have 50p
for the Blessed Virgin?
50?
10p is enough, you know?
- Thanks.
- Good boy.
Father Barnes?
Father Barnes?
Father Barnes?
Father Barnes?
Darren!
Darren!
- Sir.
- Morning.
Vicar reckons this is someone
called Sir Paul Berowne.
It is.
I was once on a policing
committee he addressed.
He was an MP
until a few weeks ago.
Is he the one that got mixed up
with that pregnant girl?
The one who drowned?
J-Jeanie something
She worked in his house
but there was no
proven connection between them.
Stark naked, weren't she?
Skinny dipping in the Thames?
This is Harry Mack.
He's a tramp needless to say.
Vicar says he usually bedded
down outside.
There's a case
for that through there.
Can't believe
anyone still uses 'em.
- Sir Berowne was staying here?
- Yeah.
Vicar said he'd taken
to staying the odd night.
Pretty weird.
Nothing in the bag
except a change of clothes.
There's a fountain pen
in his jacket
bit of cash. Nothing else.
No sign of a note.
Uh, some sort of diary.
So what do you reckon then, sir?
Tabloids are right
Sir Paul's been a naughty boy
career's caput,
comes here to top himself
burns that first
cause he don't want the world
knowing his dirty secrets,
about to cut his own throat
when Worzel Gummidge walks in.
Harry Mack.
Mr. Harry Mack.
So he does for him too.
Did the vicar find them?
No. Some old woman and a kid.
They're with the new, uh
Your new DS.
Thank you.
I-I called out to Father Barnes
but he didn't answer.
And then-then
I-I knocked on the door.
A-a-and then I opened it.
No one should have to see
something like that.
Was the light in the room
on or off, Miss Wharton?
On.
Did you go in?
No. Uh
No. I-I stopped in the doorway.
Darren? Did you go in?
Darren was next to me.
We never did nothing wrong.
Father Barnes?
Chief Inspector Dalgliesh.
I'm leading the investigation.
I understand you were able
to identify Sir Paul Berowne?
Yes.
When did you first meet him?
About three weeks ago,
he came to the vicarage
for the key,
the church is kept locked
unless there's a service.
Sign of the times.
He said that he was in the area
visiting a friend
in the hospital
and he said
that he was interested
in church architecture.
Was the key for this door?
Uh, no, for the little West door
around the other side
we only use this one for
for services.
He returned the key
about an hour or so later
and then the following day
he came back and asked
if he could spend
the night in the church.
I suppose
that he'd seen the camp bed
it's been there since the war.
An unusual request.
I-I realized who he was.
I'd seen him on the news
about his resignation.
I, I got the impression
that he needed to be alone.
To have some peace.
So I didn't tell anyone
that he was staying.
Anyone at all.
- And Harry Mack?
- Oh, dear Harry.
He usually bedded down
over there.
I'd tried to help him, I got him
a place in a-in a hostel
but when it came to it
he wouldn't go in.
He could be rather cussed.
Do you know
what I mean by that word?
Yes.
But he'd never showed
the slightest sign
of being violent.
I finally got
an address out of Darren.
He was very reluctant.
Did you get the impression
he was on his way to school?
No. Maybe that's why
he's worried.
She doesn't know anything
about him.
There's a canal just behind here
and he started following her
along the tow path one day
and now he's always there
waiting for her.
Poor little kid.
You alright?
Baptism of fire, I'm afraid.
I'm fine
What now then, sir?
I take it the you two have met.
Yes.
I've had the pleasure.
Get an address for Sir Paul.
Go and break the news
to his next of kin
before the press do.
- I-I could do that.
- No details yet.
I'll join you
once I've seen the pathologist.
Yes, sir.
Take a full statement
from Father Barnes
then I want you
to take the boy home.
Speak to a parent,
track one down if you have to.
I think she's the one who's been
dealing with him, sir.
- And I'm useless with kids.
- Talk to him.
He could be holding
something back.
This isn't our perpetrator
these hands haven't been washed
for many a day.
Agreed.
First impressions
the pattern of the blood
on the front here
suggests his head
was pulled back
and the throat cut from behind.
Same as the tramp.
Very likely to be the weapon
and yes, it's in his hand
but there's no cadaveric spasm
around it
which I'd expect in a suicide.
Possibly too much blood
if we're to believe
he had the razor
grasped in his hand.
The tramp was murdered.
Berowne, I can't rule out
suicide yet
but this could be a murder
rather badly disguised
as a suicide.
Time of death?
Between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
yesterday evening.
There may be defensive wounds
under all the blood.
Or the killer surprised him.
Yes indeed.
Mid-morning tomorrow,
soonest I can do. Okay?
It's good to see you.
I haven't seen you since
Well
Thanks, Miles.
We've got his wife, Lady Barbara
his mother, Lady Lavinia
both of them live here,
different floors.
And two of the wife's relatives
just arrived.
This is Miss Matlock,
sir, the housekeeper.
I'm sorry for your loss.
It's hardly mine. But yes,
I was fond of him.
Follow me please.
Has the house
been in the family long?
Four generations. It was
designed by the second baronet.
Chief Inspector Dalgliesh.
My sincere condolences.
I'm Stephen Lampart,
I'm Lady Barbara's cousin.
Dominic. Dominic Swayne,
Barbie's brother.
Please.
Did he kill himself?
Say if it's too much for you.
She said there were injuries
to the throat.
I'm not able to say
at this stage.
And the man he was found with?
His name was Harry Mack.
He was a vagrant.
So he could have killed Paul?
He didn't. That's something
we are certain of.
Could someone
have come in off the street?
Was anything taken?
We're considering
all possibilities.
Did Sir Paul have any
enemies that you're aware of?
He was a politician.
I dare say
he had his share of cranks.
But your people will know
more about that than I do.
Personal enemies, no.
Lady Barbara?
No.
Paul got on with everyone.
I've known him a long time.
Mr. Lampart is the expert
on my son, you see
do please direct
all questions to him.
I was only trying
I need to piece together
a picture
of his movements yesterday.
When did you last see him?
Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock.
He brought in my breakfast tray.
He seemed perfectly alright.
A bit subdued.
He said he had an appointment
at 10:00
but he didn't say with whom
and I didn't ask.
In my room before he went out.
I don't know where he was going.
Is it possible he came back
to the house later in the day?
I don't know I was out all day.
Mattie will probably know.
Miss Matlock.
I was out.
You came home to change,
I think?
Oh, yes, uh
around 4:00, for an hour
but I didn't see Paul.
Barbara came over
to the clinic I run in Hampstead
about 5:30.
We, uh, went for dinner.
Hello?
Your mum not in?
She's out.
What about your dad?
Is he around?
Of course not.
She "Arlene" is she? Your mum?
It's not her real name.
You keep it tidy, don't you?
I always kept my room tidy.
Learnt it in the Scouts.
You in the Scouts?
Did you know that Sir Paul
recently spent
the occasional night
in St. Matthew's Church
in Paddington?
No, I didn't,
until recently he often stayed
in his constituency.
But Sir Paul resigned as an MP
a few weeks ago.
Do you know why?
Paul resigned
because of differences
with the party leadership.
The vicar at the
church thought he might be
in search of peace.
Did either of you have the sense
that he was troubled?
No.
The stories in the newspapers
linking him to Jeanie Travers
the woman who died
at your birthday party
is it possible
that had affected him?
Those stories were trumped up
by the gutter press.
That girl
he had no more to do with her
than I did.
She was some sort of
failing actress
She wasn't failing.
Look, I'm sorry,
she was a close friend of mine
we're both actors,
and all actors have periods
in and out of work.
Barbie was sweet enough
to offer her
a part-time job here
doing some cleaning.
Cleaning, precisely.
Nothing whatsoever
to do with my son.
I'd like you both
to look at this please.
It's Paul's appointment diary.
It was in the grate in the
vestry where he was found
along with some other papers
which were also burnt.
Would he normally
have carried it with him?
Of course not. It's a desk
diary, it's kept it the study.
Do you happen to know
if it was there yesterday?
No, I don't.
What happened to it?
Why would he
I don't-I don't understand.
Sit down.
Eat.
Now look I know it weren't nice,
what you saw today
but I do need you to think
and see if there's anything else
that you remember
about arriving at that church.
- I ain't done nothing wrong.
- Yeah, I know that.
You're not my chief suspect
believe it or not
and nor is your mate.
But if you do know something
and you're not telling me
I will find out
and then you will be in trouble.
Big trouble. Do you understand?
Look. Just tell your mum to
call me when she gets in, yeah?
The diary was always in there.
It was useful for us
to know where he was.
When did you last see it?
Probably, it must be days ago.
And when you say "us,"
who do you mean?
All of us who live here.
Her ladyship, and Lady Barbara.
Halliwell
- Who's that?
- Gordon Halliwell.
He's a driver. He lives
in the flat at the back.
Does odd jobs as well.
He went away for the night.
- He should be back by 5:00.
- We'll need to speak to him.
When did you last see Sir Paul?
In the kitchen at around 9:15
yesterday morning.
Is it possible he came
back to the house
later in the day,
without you seeing him?
No. I was in all day.
And I always hear the doors.
I was here all evening too
in the next room
most of the time, with Dominic.
He came round about 6 o'clock.
When his sister was out?
Actually, he came to see me.
We're good friends.
He often comes over
and we watch TV.
And there's no bath
in the house he lives in
so he likes to have a bath here
and I make some supper.
He left around 10:00.
And how about Stephen Lampart?
Does he also make himself
at home in the house?
Well, he used to be around
quite a lot
but he's hardly been here
lately.
Wow.
How did the two women respond
when you broke the news?
I couldn't tell Lady Barbara
Lady Lavinia insisted
on doing it in private.
Lady Lavinia
Well
It's not the reaction
you'd expect of a mother.
She went very quiet,
and then said
"After the first death
there is no other."
Right.
It's a quotation
from a poem by Dylan Thomas.
What does it mean exactly?
It means
she must already
have lost someone
she profoundly loved.
Berowne was a
Junior Treasury Minister
under Heath, special branch
had him on security detail
until last year's defeat
but they never considered him
a target.
Not prominent enough.
But tipped for higher things.
He inherited the baronetcy
from his older brother, Sir Hugo
a Major
in the Coldstream Guards.
He was shot in Northern Ireland
a week after Bloody Sunday.
So that could be who
Lady Lavinia was thinking about?
Yes. Sir Paul lost
his first wife in the same year.
Car crash, he was driving
but wasn't found
to have been at fault.
The bloke
certainly attracted death.
I've asked around about Mack
did find one other tramp
who knew him
that said
Mack was a complete loner
wasn't even sure
Harry Mack was his real name.
And I also did background
on your people at the house.
There's nothing on the women.
With the men
there's a negligence case
against, yes, Stephen Lampart
his maternity clinic.
Kate?
Psst. Kate.
What do you think
of the verdict, Sir Paul?
I would have preferred
a more definite finding
of course, for the sake
of Miss Travers' family.
Are you going to
resign? Lady Barbara!
Lady Barbara! Lady Barbara!
Do you stand by your husband,
Lady Barbara?
Miss Travers,
an actress and model
had worked as a cleaner
in Sir Paul's household.
It was on March the 28th,
at a birthday party
being given for Sir Paul's wife
that she was found dead
in the River Thames.
An autopsy revealed
that she was in the early stages
of pregnancy
That's an open verdict then.
The coroner was concerned
about some bruises
to her upper arms and shoulders
most likely caused by attempts
to drag her from the water
but he couldn't be certain.
- Was Sir Paul at the party?
- No.
He'd said he'd try
to get there but he didn't.
The last person to see
Jeanie alive was Dominic Swayne.
He'd swum out
to the rest of their group
they saw Jeanie was in trouble,
did their best to reach her
but it was too late.
Yeah, look, I get
the possible connection
if Sir Paul topped himself,
but if he was murdered then
Sir Paul didn't need to resign
following Jeannie's death
but he did.
If there's a secret
at the heart of this
it may well start with her.
I told Halliwell to expect you.
I didn't see Sir Paul yesterday.
Last I saw him
was the morning before
saw him leaving the house.
And how long
have you worked for him?
I work for Lady Lavinia.
She hired me, she pays me.
So you never drove him?
Once or twice, if
he knew he'd be having a drink.
But he had the ministerial car
until last year.
And that one's his.
So were you in the house
at all yesterday?
For two minutes.
10 o'clock in the morning
when I went to help her ladyship
out to the car.
We were out until 6:00.
And what were you doing
for the rest of the evening?
Why?
Because we're asking,
Mr. Halliwell.
I made myself some tea.
Watched the box.
Her ladyship
called a couple of times
once to say I could take
the Merc to Suffolk
then, about 8:30, to talk
about her plans for the week.
- So what's in Suffolk?
- My kids. My ex.
We're thinking
about giving it another go.
I left at 10 o'clock last night
I wait
until the traffic's quiet.
Your pin.
It's Coldstream Guards,
isn't it?
Did you serve
under Sir Hugo Berowne?
Yeah.
Got out a month
after he was killed.
Couldn't stomach it anymore.
Is that how you came
to meet Lady Lavinia?
I thought she should know how
much her son meant to his men.
Which was a lot.
She offered me a job
and I bit her hand off.
Jeanie Travers.
Were you there
the night she died
the party
at The Black Swan in Hampton?
No. I don't get invited
to stuff like that.
Have you got any idea
who the father of her baby was?
None.
So, Lady Lavinia's
given him an alibi
and he's given her one.
That's convenient,
specially seeing
as we ain't asked for any yet.
There's a strong loyalty there.
It wouldn't be easy to break.
Alright, was it? The interview?
Only you seem to have me down
for babysitting duties.
We work as a team, sergeant.
Is it because Miskin's a woman?
Or because you don't like
the colour of her skin?
I won't tolerate prejudice
of any kind.
As long as you trust her
to do the job.
I trust her.
How did you get on with Darren?
Yeah. Fine.
I reckon he's just scared of us.
Pretty sure his mum's a Tom.
Did she understand
what he'd been through?
Yeah. Yeah, I reckon.
How many keys are there
to the West door?
Three. Mine,
Miss Wharton's and the spare.
- And for the main doors?
- One.
I-I take good care of that.
It wouldn't be easy to replace.
Do you think Sir Paul
would have locked
the west door overnight?
Oh, yes. I impressed
upon him that he should.
An-and even if he'd opened it
to let Harry in
I'm quite sure that he would
have locked it again.
You said earlier
that you thought
Sir Paul was in search of peace?
Yes.
He looked haunted almost.
I felt
that he was deeply unhappy.
Now he didn't say that
but I wish
I had said more to him now.
I really do.
You see, I went through
something of a crisis
when I was around his age.
You realize that life
just goes on and on
and doesn't get any easier.
Or make any more sense.
I think you know what I mean.
- And a Pina Colada!
- Fuck off!
- Hi.
- Oh.
You came.
That's good. What'll it be then?
- I can get it.
- No. Come on.
Vodka tonic then. Thanks.
So where've you come from?
Dorset. Six years on the force.
Fancied a change, did you?
Bright lights? Actual crimes?
I met the boss
on a job down there.
Is that right?
He take a fancy to you, did he?
I think he just wanted
a woman on the team.
So that's where
you're from then, Dorset?
Yeah. Well, Southampton really.
Nah, it's just that,
we've been taking bets.
So is that where
your mum's from?
- Yes.
- But not your dad, right?
Uh, docks. Makes sense.
Like, um, ah, what's it?
Shirley Bassey.
Yeah, three pints, three doubles
and a vodka tonic.
Actually, don't worry.
What? Oi, Miskin? Kate!
When the attack
comes from behind
the injury is usually longer
starting below the ear
running obliquely downward
and medially straight
across the midline of the neck
and ending on the opposite side
lower than the point
of origination.
Deeper at the start,
tailing off towards the end.
And that's what we've got here
in both cases.
Two murders then.
Yes indeed.
As we suspected.
Right-handed assailant
using the razor
found at the scene.
No defensive wounds
on either man.
There's a small bump
on the back of Berowne's head
but that was caused
when he hit the floor.
They were both conscious
when their throats were cut.
I think Sir Paul knew his killer
admitted him or her,
and brought them in here.
I think it was someone
who knew him well
who knew he'd be here
knew they'd find
a cut-throat razor
ready and waiting
and, most importantly
someone who'd brought
the diary with them
in order to stage the suicide.
It has to be someone with access
to Campden Hill House.
Yes. It does.
But why didn't
Berowne put up a fight?
Mack, I get it,
he's ten sheets to the wind
I think the killer
made an excuse
to go to the washroom
took off their jacket
coat, shirt,
whatever they were wearing
put gloves on,
picked up the razor.
Berowne's standing here
facing towards the bed, possibly
the killer comes back in
attacks him from behind.
And then Mack walks in,
shocked, drunk
and the killer's surprised
adrenaline-fueled.
Attacks him here.
Then he wipes
Berowne's hand in his own blood
smears some on the sleeve.
Puts the razor into the hand.
Brutal. Calculated.
Lampart trained as a doctor,
didn't he?
He's got to be used
to cutting flesh.
Then you've got Halliwell,
ex-army.
Are we ruling the women out,
sir?
We're not ruling
any of them out.
Step up door to door,
and we check and double check
the alibis they've been
so keen to give us.
And we dig down for motive.
There's hatred here.
We need to see Stephen Lampart,
please.
Murdered?
Christ.
Christ.
We need to ask you
a few questions, sir.
What time and where
was your dinner reservation
on Monday night?
You don't seriously see me
as a suspect do you?
Or is it Barbara?
The reservation was for 8:00.
At The Black Swan in Hampton.
Where Jeanie Travers drowned?
It was a favourite of ours
long before Jeanie Travers.
You said
that Lady Barbara arrived here
at around 5:30
so what did you do
before you left?
We had coffee.
I have an apartment here,
on the top floor so
We must have left for
the restaurant at around 7:15.
Did anyone see you arrive?
The owner. Uh
The doorman, Harry,
Henry, whatever.
We didn't leave 'til after 11:00
and neither of us nipped out
between courses
to commit murder.
Mr. Dominic Swayne?
So sorry. Uh, Bruno's sets.
He's not a very tidy bunny.
Neither of us are to be honest.
Please.
You're an actor, right?
That's right.
Should I recognize you?
Well, that depends.
Do you see a lot of "Fringe?"
Actually, no. I, um
I recently picked up
some small TV roles. Thank God.
Artistic poverty it's not
as romantic as they make out.
We now have reason to believe
that Sir Paul Berowne
was murdered.
Wow.
Where were you on Monday night?
I'm sorry. Uh
It's just unbelievable.
Uh, I was at Campden Hill House.
Um, I'd had an audition
flunked it, so I ran to Mattie
um, Miss Matlock.
I got there just after 6:00,
I think.
Stayed till around 10:00.
Were you together
the whole time?
Yes. We had dinner,
and watched TV.
What did you watch?
Um, well,
we watched "Angels" first.
Yes, Mattie and I
love our dramas.
What did you think of Sir Paul?
I liked him.
Yes, he was a very
very nice brother-in-law.
What about Miss Matlock?
What did she think of him?
Well, she liked him, too.
I'm sorry, is this because
of the thing with her father?
Because she didn't bear a grudge
about that.
What thing?
When did you last see Sir Paul?
Uh, about two months ago.
A long time, given
that you were good friends.
We'd been busy.
I understand
you've stopped going
to Campden Hill House lately.
As I say I've been busy.
But not too busy
for Lady Barbara?
What's that supposed to mean?
I'm not going to dignify that
with an answer.
Paul was a barrister for a while
before he became an MP
and Mattie's father
was up on a murder charge.
Paul made a hash
of the defence apparently
and the poor man ended up
killing himself in prison.
Paul blamed himself,
and he took on Mattie
as a housekeeper.
I know,
it's terribly Du Maurier.
But I promise you
she really didn't bear a grudge.
Did Sir Paul ever speak to you
about Jeanie Travers?
No.
Did Lady Barbara ever talk
to you about her?
No. We hardly knew her.
She was Dominic's friend.
You stopped the attempts
to resuscitate her
didn't you? On the riverbank?
Yes
Well, it was wrong to go on,
it was obvious she was dead.
Jeanie Travers. Had she told you
she was pregnant?
I don't think she knew. And
I think she would have told me.
I do blame myself
for what happened.
We were ridiculously drunk.
Is there any truth
in what the press has said?
About Sir Paul being the father?
He wasn't her usual type.
What about someone else
at the house?
Maybe Gordon Halliwell?
Halliwell.
Ah. Well.
All that pent-up masculinity.
She'd noticed him.
I mean, who wouldn't?
But I'm sure she would have
told me. Such a coup.
Henry Yates?
We're told you were on the door
on Monday night.
Yeah.
Mr. Lampart
and Lady Barbara Berowne
dined here that night.
Do you remember
what time they arrived?
Middle of the evening? 8-ish.
- And did you see them leave?
- About 11:00.
Did either of them
leave the restaurant
between those times?
Not that I saw.
The night Jeanie Travers drowned
Lady Barbara's birthday party
You told the inquest
that you were speaking
to Stephen Lampart when you
realized there was a problem.
That's right.
Jean-Paul, the boss.
He came running out
calling for help.
Mr. Lampart's
some sort of doctor.
We ran straight down
to the river but
Why was Mr. Lampart outside
at that time?
He was about to leave.
Him and Lady Barbara.
He'd asked to have
his car brought round.
You park the guests' cars
for them?
No. Well, occasionally.
I think he might have had
a driver.
Do you remember
the driver's name?
I don't know, I mean
the drivers usually sit
in the kitchen.
- Had you seen him before?
- I don't know.
Do you remember
what he looked like?
- No.
- Could it have been Halliwell?
Gordon Halliwell?
- Maybe, I'm not
- Chief Inspector?
There is a phone call for you.
Don't think we'll get
anything off it. Spotless.
We stood here and watched him
bloody clean it.
There's more than
one black Mercedes.
What's going on?
A local resident
reported seeing a car like this
parked outside St Matthew's
Church at 6:50 on Monday night.
Not this one. Halliwell was
here. I spoke to him.
Could anyone have driven it
without you noticing?
No.
We're gonna need the name
and address of your ex-wife.
The Black Swan.
You were there the night
Jeanie Travers drowned.
A witness says you drove
Lady Barbara that night.
Yeah? What witness?
The doorman at the restaurant.
A man called Henry Yates.
The inquest wasn't told
you were there.
It wasn't relevant.
You lied to me? Why?
Can I take it
from all this nonsense
that you believe my son
was murdered?
Yes, you can, and I should think
you would support any nonsense
that led to us
finding his killer.
I'm calling my solicitor.
We won't be taking him in
just yet.
We'll start with the car.
Don't leave London.
Yeah, because you've got
nothing on me!
Sir! Does someone
want to tell me what's going on?
I want to see what he does next.
Where he goes.
And what if he does nothing?
Then we bring him in tomorrow.
You two watch the gates
from the road.
I'll cover the back.
Sierra 3 to control.
Control receiving.
Request urgent background check.
It's bloody waste of time.
Missing a darts match for this.
You're a bundle of laughs,
ain't ya?
Didn't know
I was supposed to be.
Taking a leaf out of his book?
Strong and silent?
'Cause it's actually just
strong and bloody irritating.
If this is about last night
it was just a laugh, alright?
I haven't got a problem
with you.
Have you got a problem with me?
Shit.
Sierra 10 to Control.
Receiving Sierra 10.
Message for Sierra 3.
Suspect's on the move. Over.
Understood. Over.
You've put me in the frame!
What were you thinking, huh?
What
Oi! Back off him!
- It's alright, he didn't
- Step back!
You went to that church,
didn't you?
- Eh! Didn't you?
- Just, leave him!
- Leave him!
- Let him go.
Sergeant Halliwell.
Corporal Yates.
I can only assume
you're in this together.
- We're not in anything
- Oh, shut up, Yatesy!
Just tell them, will you?
Or I will!
Major Hugo
wasn't your usual top brass.
He was one of us.
A few weeks before he was killed
we all had a week's leave.
We went out for the night
and he introduced us
to his girlfriend
Barbara Swayne.
Lady Barbara?
He was smitten,
we could all see that.
Then Major Hugo dies.
Next thing Sir Paul's wife
dies in a car crash.
Nice woman,
Sir Paul's at the wheel
but he walks away.
Three months later
he's introducing his fiancee
Barbara Swayne.
So suddenly he's got everything
title, house, the sexy wife.
She obviously didn't care
which one of them she married
as long as he had "Sir"
in front of his name.
I looked into her,
she and that brother of hers
were dragged up in Walthamstow.
Drunk mother, no dad.
Are you saying you think
Sir Paul killed his first wife?
We'll never be able to prove it.
There's something else.
He was here
The night the girl died.
Go on.
We saw him, he walked from here
up towards the road,
straight past the car park.
He was soaking wet,
he'd been in the river
we both thought it
straight away.
It was only 10 minutes
before the alarm went up
about the girl.
Christ.
And you didn't tell the inquest
about this, why?
Because Lady Lavinia's
been through enough.
It almost finished her.
Major Hugo.
I held his hand
when he was dying.
Promised him
I'd watch out for her.
Well, why should we believe you?
The only reason I'm telling you
is so you know that
Sir Paul is not
who you think he is.
And nor is Barbara Swayne.
So many more than usual
at the service.
Yes. It seems murder
is something of a draw.
You know,
if you ever need to talk
Thank you, father.
I only hope Darren's alright.
Cod and chips, please.
You sure you got enough
for that?
Darren?
What are you doing here?
What are you looking for? No
Ah! Please, no!
