Waking the Dead (2000) s03e03 Episode Script
Walking on Water: ?Part 1
Looking out On the morning rain I used to feel uninspired And when I knew I had to face Another day Lord, it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you Life was so unkind Your love was the key To my piece of mind Cos you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel Like a natural woman When my soul Was in the lost and found You came along To claim it I didn't know what was wrong With me Till your kiss Helped me nail it Now I'm no longer doubtful Of what I'm living for Cos if I make you happy I don't need to do more You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel Like a natural woman Natural woman.
Go out there and shine.
I-I'm not sure Shh! You can do this.
You don't need me.
You don't need anything.
You know where to find me.
God, I hate giving evidence.
I get so nervous.
Every time I walk into a court, I look guilty.
Relax.
Boyd's the defence barrister and I'm going to be the judge.
We can get Grace in to be the jury.
There is no jury at an appeal.
I know.
There are THREE judges.
That's where all the money goes.
Oh, come on, Boyd! 'Today sees the appeal against the conviction of Mark Lovell 'for the murder of his adopted father, Thomas, 11 years ago.
'No-one knows to what happened to his family 'who also disappeared, along with the family boat.
' All rise.
Rise.
We don't have to stand up.
I'm the judge.
Hey, don't push it.
This won't work.
Just be positive.
Yeah, I'll try to be, but please take it seriously.
Sure.
We can.
Right.
Don't be nervous when you're there.
You'll be all right.
What are you going to wear? What? What are you going to wear? Well, this.
Doesn't it look good enough? Yeah, yeah.
It looks, it looksumit looks great.
Come on, Boyd, just get on with it.
OK.
My Lord, I wish to callum an expert witnesset cetera.
And then you get up in that outfit and take the stand.
In his original trial, adopted son Mark Lovell was found guilty of murdering his father.
The conviction was based on circumstantial evidence - a fight earlier that night.
ã800 found in his possession.
You're making statements, Mr Boyd.
You agree? I'm not allowed opinions.
That's where you're limited.
Forensics.
Detection, analysis and then solutions.
Just because you didn't find DNA, it doesn't mean he wasn't there.
Are you the defence barrister, the prosecuting barrister or Boyd? Me.
So forensics is just a tool? I'm not criticising you.
I'm pointing out the usefulness of forensics when they are isolated.
Very interesting, but I have to be in court in 45 minutes.
I have to lock up.
We'll do that.
Will you? Yes.
Good luck.
Thanks, Mel.
Don't let him touch anything.
Frankie is going to get him off.
Forensics are conclusive.
Are you saying he's innocent or guilty? I don't know.
But the night Lovell was killed, three other people went missing, plus a boat.
His daughter and his granddaughter.
The local police didn't pursue that.
They focused on one murderer and one killer.
Either they were just being lazy or incompetent.
Or all of the above.
Yes, but they will not re-open the case.
Why not? They'd be too embarrassed.
Could the bodies in the boat be connected? Not necessarily, cos they never found the boat.
Where would you find a missing boat? At the bottom of the sea.
It's a very big sea.
It's a VERY big sea.
And this is just the estuary, which is why they never bothered.
Bodies and the boat disappear same night.
Could you assume the bodies were on the boat? Well, they never found the bodies.
No.
They never found the boat.
No.
We need to find the boat.
Durham.
Thanks.
And Skynan.
OK.
That's fine.
Thanks.
Bye.
We need a suitable boat to get a sonar fixed, to identify any wreck.
OK.
They'll help with the longitude and latitude.
Thank you.
That's very nautical.
I know.
That needs to go to the Port of London Authority.
They have control over the estuary.
If they granted permission for a boat to moor in the shipping lanes, you'd go to the coastguard and the Admiralty Commission For Wrecks.
And you've got tides to deal with, weather.
Everything's against us.
So it is possible.
DNA testing was in its infancy.
A huge sample was required in order to identify or extract DNA.
Even then, the results frequently proved inconclusive.
So it couldn't be relied upon as evidence? No.
Did you take samples from my client for DNA testing? Yes.
A sample of hair, blood and saliva.
Did you compare those samples to the evidence police had gathered from the murder scene? I did.
What did you find? I could not match my samples with samples derived from the police evidence in the case.
'We need to find the boat.
I don't know anything about boats.
'Neither do I.
'I think you've talked yourself into a cold case.
A very cold case.
'In Novemberand by the seaside.
' If the police had gathered evidence for testing, would they have taken different samples? It's not for Dr Wharton to speculate about what evidence was gathered.
Well, I can say that certain tests have now become standard practice in a case like this.
It'd be usual to take a swab from under the deceased's fingernails.
But no swabs were taken.
I haven't seen any.
So if different samples were taken - like swabs under the nails - Mark Lovell's DNA might be found.
Well, it's possible.
Thank you.
But it's unlikely that he could have murdered Thomas Lovell without leaving DNA on some of the police samples that I tested.
Frankie! Hey, Spence, you're looking well.
Good stag weekend? Can't remember.
Have I missed anything? Boats.
Boats? - It's on! It's on! Grace, it's on.
What's on? 'Mark Lovell was acquitted of murdering his father' This is Mark Lovell's sister.
Mel? Yeah? Mark has suffered enough.
He lost his parents, his sister, his niece and all the inheritance that was his.
Thank you.
Inspector Tynan, what's your view of the outcome of today's appeal? It's not for me to criticise justice.
Mark's acquitted.
We've just heard the police are not pursuing the case.
Correct.
I told you! Am I missing something? We're pursuing a murder, three missing persons and a fishing boat.
They may or may not be connected.
I wish I'd never asked.
Mr Durham, who apart from being a salvage expert Salvage? .
.
Runs sonar checks over the wreck of USS Richard Montgomery.
USS? It sank in the Thames Estuary in They put up a military exclusion zone.
It's highly dangerous, but four months ago, Mr Durham's sonar picked up something on the EDGE of the zone.
What? A hidden small boat.
How? It was under a sandbank.
What boat? So this could be our boat.
It's under the USS Richard Montgomery! But neither the CPS nor the police are pursuing it now Mark is cleared.
Where does it say it shouldn't be re-opened? Excuse me, this could be very embarrassing.
Reputations can't get in the way! Good to know(!) Sorry.
Don't know what your talking about, but we'll be treading on toes AGAIN.
Do you want a sea trip? Where's the evidence? Spence, lack of evidence should not prevent intellectual speculation.
Start with ideas! Yes? And then you use forensics as a TOOL to validate those ideas.
So Frankie's a tool? No.
You're not a tool, Frankie.
Boyd, do you know what you're doing? Boats are expensive.
Four murders, Spence! Four murders! Just thinking of the budget.
Four murders! Boats, eh? Good luck.
I'm going to get a coffee.
Come on, Spence, please.
OK.
Frankie I don't like boats.
I should never have mentioned that sonar.
I appreciate your help.
I haven't helped you.
Well, not yet.
How close is Thomas Lovell's boat - the Miss Maria? I never said the image was the Miss Maria.
You're just assuming it is.
It could be a fishing boat.
It was on the exclusion zone.
Not within it? No.
On it.
But the wreckage was shifting away from the Montgomery - so it could be raised? Raised? Do you know how strong those tides are out there? You need to know the procedures here, and the necessary permissions.
The Port of London Authority I've got that stuff.
And the original insurers - you have a letter from them? I have.
You really are serious.
Yes, I am.
Have you thought about the family? I don't suppose you have.
But surely they want it raised.
Don't they want answers, Mr Durham? and around here a wreck is a grave.
Now you best understand to do something like this is not easyand it's not cheap! No.
No, I don't suppose it is.
Now look, if you're really serious - well, I can't stop you.
Butif it is the Miss Maria, then I want the job to be done properly and respectfully.
No, I understand that.
Give me five minutes while I lock up.
Thank you, Mr Durham.
Mel? Hi.
Do we have the insurer's permission? Insurer's as well? OK.
The Admiralty permission just came through.
Great.
Tell them all to pack their buckets and spades, OK? Hi.
Thanks for coming.
Couldn't we have met in the pub? No, this is the best view.
The harbour's over there.
They found Thomas Lovell's body in the cockle sheds.
Excuse me.
Out there in the estuary is the USS Richard Montgomery.
Just a few yards away, but outside the exclusion zone, iswe believe No, YOU believe.
Some of us believe is the missing fishing boatthe Miss Maria.
Raising her is gonna cost a bit.
Be cheaper to lower the water.
Will we get a wet-clothing allowance? That's a good point.
Yeah.
OK.
So you've got all the confirmations in place? Yes.
Great.
So tomorrow then is salvage day.
Everybody ready? Frankie? What? Get your sea legs on.
No.
Good luck.
Grace.
No, Boyd.
Ice cream? Ice cream? Boyd, I don't do boats.
House on the left.
Second left.
Up here? I'm not sure I should go down there.
With me? You'll be OK.
We're going to see Mark Lovell.
It's a letter box.
Hi.
You're early.
The estate agent said ten thirty.
We're not estate agents.
We're looking for Mark Lovell.
He doesn't live here.
Do you know where we might? No.
I'm Detective Superintendent Boyd, and this isummy colleague Dr Foley.
.
.
from the Home Office.
.
.
Home Office.
And you are? Maria.
Maria? We need to contact Mark, because we're reopening the case into his father's murder and the disappearance of his family.
I understand that he still owns this property.
Do youknow him? Intimately.
After you.
This is nice.
Thank you.
So how much would you pay for a place like this? A lothopefully.
This is a place where everyone wants to be these days.
Close to London - sea views.
Sit down.
Here are the details if you're interested.
Thank you.
I'm trying to move up in the area.
SoMaria were you friends with Mark? More than friends.
Oh, so you live together? Yes.
But he's moved out.
Ah.
We're just trying to get some background together.
When did you last speak to him? Yesterday.
OK.
That's enough playing around.
You look good, but not that good.
You got this organised pretty quickly.
I have a good solicitor.
NowI presume you've come to question me.
Yeah.
I'd rather it not be here.
There's a viewing soon.
What I suggest is that we go back to your place.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Good.
I'll get my handbag.
They should be here.
I spoke to Fin Dorley, the Lovell's business partner.
He said they'd be in today.
Shop! Shop? You're so rude.
That's what they say, ain't it? What's this? Cockles.
You're not seriously going to eat them? Yeah.
You want lots of vinegar on them.
Salt? Yeah.
Tomato ketchup? No.
Not tomato ketchup.
SHE LAUGHS Anyone here? Hello? Shop.
Vinegar, yeah? You're not seriously going to eat those? Yeah.
Sorry.
We're looking for the Lovell family.
Oh, not you lot again! Martin, Stephen, it's the scum from the press! Press? Right! We're not from the press.
Wait! Back off! We're police, OK? I'm DC Silver.
This is DS Jordan.
I should have gone a bit more easy on the vinegar.
Don't think you've seen me If you've seen me From the outside Don't think you know me Cos our worlds just may collide Don't think to judge me On the strength of your confusion Don't think you haven't seen me In your mind's illusion I'm a sin A delicious kind of sin I'm a sin A delicious kind of sin.
Where is she coming from? I'm not going in there on my own.
DR FOLEY LAUGHS Stephen, Martin, Mandy.
What do you want? We're seeing whether the original investigation missed anything.
The only thing missing is our family and justice.
We understand how you feel.
This is a courtesy call.
We believe your cousin - Mark - has moved back here.
He's got a bloody nerve! We just thought you BANG! ought to know.
We're salvaging a boat tomorrow.
It could be the Miss Maria.
Might shed some light as to who did kill your family.
I've been imprisoned because some policeman decided I was guilty.
Probably, like YOU, he despised people like me.
Don't assume that.
I don't have any opinion.
I just deal with the facts.
Of which there seems to be a distinct lack in the original trial.
You can say that again.
You're not like the others.
So, Mark, the evidence Maria.
My name is Maria.
Now what is it you really want? I want to find out who killed your adopted father and what happened to the rest of your family.
If that's true - raising the Miss Maria is the only way to find out.
I see.
Well, we'll do whatever we can to help.
There is something you may help us with.
Your uncle was found here? Yeah.
How long might you need this place? If it is the Miss Maria, we could take it somewhere else.
Yeah.
It's right to bring her here - she'll be home.
It was and is a family business.
And what sort of business is that? Cockles, mainly.
Thomas and John inherited it.
When John died, Stephen and Martin took over their father's share.
Then everyone worked for the family business.
Including you.
Thomas tried to make me.
What do you mean"tried"? Mark didn't like boats, and he didn't like fish.
Nor does Maria.
For the sake of my sanity, could you just refer to yourself as Mark? No.
In the beginning, Thomas made me go out on the cockle boat.
I couldn't bear it.
I refused to go out again.
That was the first and last time I had anything to do with cockles.
So, Maria, why choose the name Maria? You think the rest of my family are on that boat.
Are they? May I remind you that I'm here voluntarily.
I suggest you remind me at regular intervals.
Why did you decide to return to your home town? I mean, wouldn't it have made more sense to move somewhere else? When I was convicted of murder, I lost my inheritance.
It went to the next of kin.
Now that I've been proved innocent, I intend to pursue what's legally mine.
It's what Thomas wanted.
Mark! There are going to be changes.
I want you to be part of them.
None of you will change! I need to tell YOU something.
Just listen, OK? I want you to be part of this, son.
You don't get it.
I don't CARE! Just listen! I'm trying to help you, son! Look at me NOW! Stop pretending! Look at ME! So what did Thomas have planned? Hindsight's a bitch.
It's life's way of rubbing salt into the wound.
He wanted a boy! I mean, what a joke! He wanted a boy and he got me.
So what were his plans? He never said.
Never got that far.
Mark had to tell him who he really was.
He'd been putting it off too long.
What did Mark tell him? What he believed he was then.
Which was what? Gay.
And what is he now? Maria isn't gay.
Will you pay attention? Maria is a woman.
This is really difficult for me.
I'm sorry, Grace.
It might be all right for you, but do we have to deal with two people? There is only one person.
Mark had to tell Thomas what he really, really wanted to do.
Which was what? Showtime! I can imagine how he reacted to that.
You never have listened! Don't! He's not worth it! Leave him! Did Thomas have any other enemies - people who might have wished him harm? No.
Except Mark.
He despised this.
Thought he was too good for it.
Didn't like getting his faggoty hands dirty.
He thought it kept him from his destiny.
What happened after the fight? Mark left, got drunk.
He decided to leave.
Needed money.
He went to steal the day's takings.
It says here, from a medical taken after your Mark's arrest, that Mark was suffering from two broken ribs, a fractured cheek bone and clear and obvious bruising.
Some argument.
He was a tough man.
Tough love.
Mark's mother, what was Mark's relationship like with her? Mark was always closer to his father.
Do you know any reason why someone would want to kill Maria's family? Mark's.
God, Mark! Maria! It's the same family, isn't it? It's one person! Why would somebody want them dead?! The price of fresh fish! KNOCK AT DOOR Thank you.
The priceof fresh fish.
You'll have to excuse me.
I have to callBill Durham.
Bill Durham? Yes.
We're raising the Miss Maria tomorrow.
He's helping.
Tomorrow? Yes.
Tomorrow.
What a shame.
I'll miss it.
I have an appointment.
Well, I'll keep you informed.
Perhaps after your appointment, you'd like to come and talk to ME.
I'd never turn down the chance to talk about myself.
Good.
Bet you bloody don't! 'Viking, North Utsire, variable 3, becoming southerly 4 or 5, occasionally 6 later.
'Occasional rain with fog patches.
South Utsire, variable' Which part of "I hate boats" don't you understand? If you don't feel good, put your head over the stern or you'll be eating all over again.
Oh! Frankie.
Frankie.
No.
But this Mm-mm.
This is the stern, OK? It's the bit at the back.
It was one sugar, wasn't it? Thank you.
Tell medid Mark ever try and contact his real parents? Why? They didn't want him.
If they had, they'd have come for him.
He wasn't curious? No.
Hmm In the, er in the original trial notes, it said that Mark was very close to his cousin Stephen.
How do you go about profiling killers, murderers? Several ways - for instance, you can look at their case histories or look for clues amongst their past behavioural patterns.
You'll profile my family's killer? Possibly.
Is that what you're doing now? Tell me about prison.
It's full of men.
I was raped.
A lot, at first.
Learnt the rules, played the game.
Realised you needed to sleep with the right people.
Eventually, I became a star.
I'm getting too old for this lark.
So I spend my time running the pub.
Which you own, yeah? Yeah.
Were you there the night Thomas Lovell was murdered? I was there.
It was our wedding anniversary.
Did you see Mark that night? Yes.
Mark came in early.
He was soonknocking them back.
What did you say to him? The truth.
The truth, that's all.
Come on, Pen, like you don't know! Like it isn't obvious.
Why don't you just piss off to London, Mark?! I intend to do just that.
Now, why don't you piss off and leave me alone?! Go on to Daddy.
I'm sure he'll give you my part.
What are you talking about?! Here's to the lovely family.
God bless all who sail in them! Like father, like daughter.
You disgust me! Get out of my face! That's it.
I like it up the arse.
In my bloody element here.
Sailors everywhere! Who wants a piece of my arse?! That's enough.
I'm just starting.
Let's be steady, now.
I love sucking cockles as well! Not in here, you don't, sweetheart.
Easy! Piss off, the lot of you! Piss off, Bill! You've got a lovely grip.
That's right - PISS OFF! You saw the Miss Maria leave? Yeah.
Who was on board? From where I was standing, I saw only Thomas.
There was no sign of anyone else? No! The Miss Maria left harbour and that was the last time I saw her.
OK.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but, umPenelope, Mark's sister, did she resent Mark at all? Mark thought then she resented him, but Pen was envious of Mark's potential and freedom.
Was there anybody in Mark's family he got along with? April.
April? Stephen and Martin's mother.
She is very special.
"Is"? She's still alive, just.
She had a breakdown when Uncle John died.
How did he die? He got washed overboard.
He couldn't swim.
He was a fisherman and he couldn't swim? Many never bother to learn.
If you end up in the North Sea, best not fight it.
April, she taught her boys to swim.
Tell me about Stephen.
I'd rather not.
OK.
When they discovered Thomas, how did that make Mark feel? Numb.
'Despised.
'Alone.
' Where's my mum? That's what we want to know, Mark.
And Pen and Tessa? 'Guilty.
' And the Miss Maria? PHONE RINGS Excuse me.
Yep? Oh, right.
Yeah.
Here with me now, yeah.
OK.
Bye.
Superintendent Boyd.
They've found the Miss Maria? Are they on it? Are my family on the boat? Are you OK? I'm not sure what good will come of this.
It'd be better if you stayed here.
It's where I live.
They have to face me sooner or later.
Not tonight.
I think it's definitely the night.
Maria, stay here! Hey! THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE Get behind the tape! Can you read it?! Do not cross.
It's our boatyard! Actually, it's MY boatyard.
That is my family on the boat.
Mark? Whoa! Easy! MORE SHOUTING OK, OK.
Calm down, please! Let him see! We'll look together! Sir, calm down, please.
Martin, let them deal with it.
He's right, sir.
It's cos of you he got let out.
We're here for you.
You can abuse us, but it won't help them or you.
Now, will you please calm down? Let's go.
Please, go home.
Thank you.
Why are boats referred to as "she"? Good question, but completely irrelevant.
Mark has a gender identity disorder.
A woman in a man's body.
Not a very successful-looking one.
That is also irrelevant.
Mark's disorder is cultural, social, biological.
It can be caused by psychological distress, but some people do think they've been born in the wrong body.
From his family? His family seem pretty dysfunctional.
Most are.
Where's YOUR dress? Weekends only.
The question I have is - why did he go back? The trauma you know can be more bearable than the trauma you don't.
How does the gender disorder affect his or her status as a suspect? It doesn't! No, what I mean is, is he capable of killing his family? It doesn't MAKE him capable of being a murderer.
But he's still capable.
Yeah, but it's not the disorder, right? No.
OK.
No, but he is capable Oh, God! His psychological prison report would suggest a cause for concern, so I've asked his prison officer to come in.
Do YOU think Mark is guilty? I don't know.
Forensics say otherwise, but, er .
.
I have to admit What? I'm stuck.
Morning, ma'am.
Morning.
Mark's quick release was of concern to me.
He was found not guilty.
His guilt or innocence isn't the issue.
His mental welfare is.
He was on suicide watch for the first few weeks of his incarceration.
Now, I take it that was just routine? How is Mark? Mark is calling himself Maria.
Maria's his drag act.
Not any more.
It's a reality.
Mark hasn't spent a day in reality.
Faced with the prospect of a lifetime in prison, who'd want to? He's out there now.
And I'm here.
Which suggests to me you have some concerns.
Yes.
Well, I just want to get an idea of his character - psychological make-up and what he was capable of.
He was capable of doing anything he put his mind to.
Even murder? Aaagh! Mark was obsessive and his ability to hold a grudge, alarming.
If anyone harmed him or, in his eyes, caused him injustice, he'd spend weeks plotting his revenge.
You'll find all you need to understand him in those boxes.
Good.
Thank you.
When he was younger, Mark had difficulty forming relationships.
How was he in prison? Not good.
Constantly in trouble, fighting.
We even had to put him in the vulnerable prisoner unit.
But then things changed.
How? Mark may be a man born in the wrong suit, but he found ways of making it work for him.
How? Many never see the outside again.
They do what they have to, to pass the time.
Yes.
It's rumoured he struck up a relationship with Jack Ely.
I'm sure you've heard of him.
What kind of a relationship? I would not care to elaborate - I have a family to think of.
You're not eating properly.
I'm trying.
Everything's a bit rich out there.
I'm better off in here? It has its good points.
Gone downhill since you left us.
I do miss you.
That'll pass.
You need anything, you tell me.
Anything at all.
I'm all right.
Anything at all.
Really, I'm OK.
Don't do anything stupid out there, Maria.
What do you mean? You know what I mean.
And don't let Mark do anything stupid either.
SHE EXHALES OK, are you getting this? Yeah, yeah, we are.
I've got the remains of three bodies.
This is the skeleton of a child.
And this of a woman.
And they've been tied together.
Can you see that? Yeah, we can.
This woman may have freed herself and tried to get out of the hatch.
There are scratches all over it.
Now, I think this could be a bullet hole.
Yeah, well, Thomas WAS shot.
He may have been the lucky one.
These puncture holes say the hull was smashed from the outside.
Now we know how they died, what does that say about the killer? Devoid of emotion, no attachment to the victims whatsoever.
Doesn't sound like Mark Lovell.
No, not at all.
The Miss Maria leaves port.
Thomas Lovell is at the helm.
No sign of the rest of the family.
Coastguard reports a sighting out here in the estuary at about 7pm.
An hour later, Thomas Lovell's found dead on land.
Miss Maria we salvaged here, this side of two busy shipping channels, just outside the exclusion zone, next to the USS Richard Montgomery.
How did Thomas Lovell get back? Someone took him back? Possible, but only one set of footprints.
And they've been confirmed as his.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
Youyou should push your hair back behind your ear.
Much better.
Thank you.
Why are you here? Ohjust killing time.
Don't piss me about! I'm not.
This is where I live.
This is my home.
None of this is yours.
You betrayed this family, this business.
We've have fought to keep it going - you'd destroy it in a second.
When you said you'd call, I knew it just wasn't for a chat.
Well, things have changed, Mark.
It's not like it used to be.
When we were kids? We've all changed.
Oh, you've noticed! You've gone silent.
I can tell because I'm listening.
What is it you want from us, huh?! Did you really think I was capable of doing that? Did you think I could kill all those people? I loved my family.
And you.
Did you hear what I said? And you.
Stop it.
Stop it now.
I stood in that court and said nothing 11 years ago - nothing, and you lied about me.
You lied.
You betrayed me.
I said STOP! I want what is mine.
Don't do this, Mark.
You know we won't let that happen.
This family won't let you do this.
Bye, Stephen.
And, by the way, the name is Maria.
OK, ladies .
.
it's time we got you out of here.
I'm going to start with you, Emma CREAKING Lord, won't you buy me A Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porsches I must make amends Worked hard all my lifetime No help from my friends So Lord Won't you buy me A Mercedes Benz? Lord, won't you buy me A colour TV Emma, Emma, Emma # Dial For A Dollar Is trying to find me Got good bones, girl.
I wait for delivery CREAKING Hello? # Each day until three So Lord Won't you buy me Hello? A colour TV? Sir.
What? Thomas Lovell signed over the family home to his wife.
To protect the property.
Because of debt? No.
Was he in partnership with anyone? Stephen and Martin Lovell.
They've run it for 11 years, since he died.
But he owned a lot of property near London.
Maybe he had other ideas.
He eliminated risk.
To develop them into flats? A lot of money.
Yeah.
Check planning applications.
I'll talk to Mark Lovell about it.
Right.
I need his number.
Hello? What are you doing?! This is a crime scene! My boatyard.
How did you get in here? I have to see.
You're contaminating the scene.
I'll need a DNA sample from you.
Is it my family? Please, will you just leave? Lord, won't you buy me PHONE RINGS A night on the town? I'm counting on you, Lord Please don't let me down Show me you love me And buy the next round MUSIC: "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" by The Clash # Lord, won't you buy me A night on the town? RINGING CONTINUES MUSIC CONTINUES Should I stay or should I go? I can't take this! What can we do, eh? What can we do?! He's got us cornered, Stephen! We've got to put a stop to this now.
You know what he's capable of.
Ain't you got the guts?! Who took the boat out there? Not you, was it? It was my family too.
Then go and do something about it.
Are you two arguing again? Talking about Mark, trying to figure out what he'll do.
Here's what he's going to do next.
He's going after your inheritance.
- What? He can't do that! - He can and he has.
You should've put your share in Mandy's name.
Well, what're we going to do, Fin? Nothing we CAN do.
We'll see.
You're full of good ideas.
How will we get out of this? Martin! Are you coming or what, Mandy? Don't, don't! You leave it! Oranges and lemons Say the bells of St Clements MEOWING All right, my little babies! Mummy's going to feed you now.
I'm not going out till later.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed Here comes a chopper to chop off your head
Go out there and shine.
I-I'm not sure Shh! You can do this.
You don't need me.
You don't need anything.
You know where to find me.
God, I hate giving evidence.
I get so nervous.
Every time I walk into a court, I look guilty.
Relax.
Boyd's the defence barrister and I'm going to be the judge.
We can get Grace in to be the jury.
There is no jury at an appeal.
I know.
There are THREE judges.
That's where all the money goes.
Oh, come on, Boyd! 'Today sees the appeal against the conviction of Mark Lovell 'for the murder of his adopted father, Thomas, 11 years ago.
'No-one knows to what happened to his family 'who also disappeared, along with the family boat.
' All rise.
Rise.
We don't have to stand up.
I'm the judge.
Hey, don't push it.
This won't work.
Just be positive.
Yeah, I'll try to be, but please take it seriously.
Sure.
We can.
Right.
Don't be nervous when you're there.
You'll be all right.
What are you going to wear? What? What are you going to wear? Well, this.
Doesn't it look good enough? Yeah, yeah.
It looks, it looksumit looks great.
Come on, Boyd, just get on with it.
OK.
My Lord, I wish to callum an expert witnesset cetera.
And then you get up in that outfit and take the stand.
In his original trial, adopted son Mark Lovell was found guilty of murdering his father.
The conviction was based on circumstantial evidence - a fight earlier that night.
ã800 found in his possession.
You're making statements, Mr Boyd.
You agree? I'm not allowed opinions.
That's where you're limited.
Forensics.
Detection, analysis and then solutions.
Just because you didn't find DNA, it doesn't mean he wasn't there.
Are you the defence barrister, the prosecuting barrister or Boyd? Me.
So forensics is just a tool? I'm not criticising you.
I'm pointing out the usefulness of forensics when they are isolated.
Very interesting, but I have to be in court in 45 minutes.
I have to lock up.
We'll do that.
Will you? Yes.
Good luck.
Thanks, Mel.
Don't let him touch anything.
Frankie is going to get him off.
Forensics are conclusive.
Are you saying he's innocent or guilty? I don't know.
But the night Lovell was killed, three other people went missing, plus a boat.
His daughter and his granddaughter.
The local police didn't pursue that.
They focused on one murderer and one killer.
Either they were just being lazy or incompetent.
Or all of the above.
Yes, but they will not re-open the case.
Why not? They'd be too embarrassed.
Could the bodies in the boat be connected? Not necessarily, cos they never found the boat.
Where would you find a missing boat? At the bottom of the sea.
It's a very big sea.
It's a VERY big sea.
And this is just the estuary, which is why they never bothered.
Bodies and the boat disappear same night.
Could you assume the bodies were on the boat? Well, they never found the bodies.
No.
They never found the boat.
No.
We need to find the boat.
Durham.
Thanks.
And Skynan.
OK.
That's fine.
Thanks.
Bye.
We need a suitable boat to get a sonar fixed, to identify any wreck.
OK.
They'll help with the longitude and latitude.
Thank you.
That's very nautical.
I know.
That needs to go to the Port of London Authority.
They have control over the estuary.
If they granted permission for a boat to moor in the shipping lanes, you'd go to the coastguard and the Admiralty Commission For Wrecks.
And you've got tides to deal with, weather.
Everything's against us.
So it is possible.
DNA testing was in its infancy.
A huge sample was required in order to identify or extract DNA.
Even then, the results frequently proved inconclusive.
So it couldn't be relied upon as evidence? No.
Did you take samples from my client for DNA testing? Yes.
A sample of hair, blood and saliva.
Did you compare those samples to the evidence police had gathered from the murder scene? I did.
What did you find? I could not match my samples with samples derived from the police evidence in the case.
'We need to find the boat.
I don't know anything about boats.
'Neither do I.
'I think you've talked yourself into a cold case.
A very cold case.
'In Novemberand by the seaside.
' If the police had gathered evidence for testing, would they have taken different samples? It's not for Dr Wharton to speculate about what evidence was gathered.
Well, I can say that certain tests have now become standard practice in a case like this.
It'd be usual to take a swab from under the deceased's fingernails.
But no swabs were taken.
I haven't seen any.
So if different samples were taken - like swabs under the nails - Mark Lovell's DNA might be found.
Well, it's possible.
Thank you.
But it's unlikely that he could have murdered Thomas Lovell without leaving DNA on some of the police samples that I tested.
Frankie! Hey, Spence, you're looking well.
Good stag weekend? Can't remember.
Have I missed anything? Boats.
Boats? - It's on! It's on! Grace, it's on.
What's on? 'Mark Lovell was acquitted of murdering his father' This is Mark Lovell's sister.
Mel? Yeah? Mark has suffered enough.
He lost his parents, his sister, his niece and all the inheritance that was his.
Thank you.
Inspector Tynan, what's your view of the outcome of today's appeal? It's not for me to criticise justice.
Mark's acquitted.
We've just heard the police are not pursuing the case.
Correct.
I told you! Am I missing something? We're pursuing a murder, three missing persons and a fishing boat.
They may or may not be connected.
I wish I'd never asked.
Mr Durham, who apart from being a salvage expert Salvage? .
.
Runs sonar checks over the wreck of USS Richard Montgomery.
USS? It sank in the Thames Estuary in They put up a military exclusion zone.
It's highly dangerous, but four months ago, Mr Durham's sonar picked up something on the EDGE of the zone.
What? A hidden small boat.
How? It was under a sandbank.
What boat? So this could be our boat.
It's under the USS Richard Montgomery! But neither the CPS nor the police are pursuing it now Mark is cleared.
Where does it say it shouldn't be re-opened? Excuse me, this could be very embarrassing.
Reputations can't get in the way! Good to know(!) Sorry.
Don't know what your talking about, but we'll be treading on toes AGAIN.
Do you want a sea trip? Where's the evidence? Spence, lack of evidence should not prevent intellectual speculation.
Start with ideas! Yes? And then you use forensics as a TOOL to validate those ideas.
So Frankie's a tool? No.
You're not a tool, Frankie.
Boyd, do you know what you're doing? Boats are expensive.
Four murders, Spence! Four murders! Just thinking of the budget.
Four murders! Boats, eh? Good luck.
I'm going to get a coffee.
Come on, Spence, please.
OK.
Frankie I don't like boats.
I should never have mentioned that sonar.
I appreciate your help.
I haven't helped you.
Well, not yet.
How close is Thomas Lovell's boat - the Miss Maria? I never said the image was the Miss Maria.
You're just assuming it is.
It could be a fishing boat.
It was on the exclusion zone.
Not within it? No.
On it.
But the wreckage was shifting away from the Montgomery - so it could be raised? Raised? Do you know how strong those tides are out there? You need to know the procedures here, and the necessary permissions.
The Port of London Authority I've got that stuff.
And the original insurers - you have a letter from them? I have.
You really are serious.
Yes, I am.
Have you thought about the family? I don't suppose you have.
But surely they want it raised.
Don't they want answers, Mr Durham? and around here a wreck is a grave.
Now you best understand to do something like this is not easyand it's not cheap! No.
No, I don't suppose it is.
Now look, if you're really serious - well, I can't stop you.
Butif it is the Miss Maria, then I want the job to be done properly and respectfully.
No, I understand that.
Give me five minutes while I lock up.
Thank you, Mr Durham.
Mel? Hi.
Do we have the insurer's permission? Insurer's as well? OK.
The Admiralty permission just came through.
Great.
Tell them all to pack their buckets and spades, OK? Hi.
Thanks for coming.
Couldn't we have met in the pub? No, this is the best view.
The harbour's over there.
They found Thomas Lovell's body in the cockle sheds.
Excuse me.
Out there in the estuary is the USS Richard Montgomery.
Just a few yards away, but outside the exclusion zone, iswe believe No, YOU believe.
Some of us believe is the missing fishing boatthe Miss Maria.
Raising her is gonna cost a bit.
Be cheaper to lower the water.
Will we get a wet-clothing allowance? That's a good point.
Yeah.
OK.
So you've got all the confirmations in place? Yes.
Great.
So tomorrow then is salvage day.
Everybody ready? Frankie? What? Get your sea legs on.
No.
Good luck.
Grace.
No, Boyd.
Ice cream? Ice cream? Boyd, I don't do boats.
House on the left.
Second left.
Up here? I'm not sure I should go down there.
With me? You'll be OK.
We're going to see Mark Lovell.
It's a letter box.
Hi.
You're early.
The estate agent said ten thirty.
We're not estate agents.
We're looking for Mark Lovell.
He doesn't live here.
Do you know where we might? No.
I'm Detective Superintendent Boyd, and this isummy colleague Dr Foley.
.
.
from the Home Office.
.
.
Home Office.
And you are? Maria.
Maria? We need to contact Mark, because we're reopening the case into his father's murder and the disappearance of his family.
I understand that he still owns this property.
Do youknow him? Intimately.
After you.
This is nice.
Thank you.
So how much would you pay for a place like this? A lothopefully.
This is a place where everyone wants to be these days.
Close to London - sea views.
Sit down.
Here are the details if you're interested.
Thank you.
I'm trying to move up in the area.
SoMaria were you friends with Mark? More than friends.
Oh, so you live together? Yes.
But he's moved out.
Ah.
We're just trying to get some background together.
When did you last speak to him? Yesterday.
OK.
That's enough playing around.
You look good, but not that good.
You got this organised pretty quickly.
I have a good solicitor.
NowI presume you've come to question me.
Yeah.
I'd rather it not be here.
There's a viewing soon.
What I suggest is that we go back to your place.
Yeah, I'd like that.
Good.
I'll get my handbag.
They should be here.
I spoke to Fin Dorley, the Lovell's business partner.
He said they'd be in today.
Shop! Shop? You're so rude.
That's what they say, ain't it? What's this? Cockles.
You're not seriously going to eat them? Yeah.
You want lots of vinegar on them.
Salt? Yeah.
Tomato ketchup? No.
Not tomato ketchup.
SHE LAUGHS Anyone here? Hello? Shop.
Vinegar, yeah? You're not seriously going to eat those? Yeah.
Sorry.
We're looking for the Lovell family.
Oh, not you lot again! Martin, Stephen, it's the scum from the press! Press? Right! We're not from the press.
Wait! Back off! We're police, OK? I'm DC Silver.
This is DS Jordan.
I should have gone a bit more easy on the vinegar.
Don't think you've seen me If you've seen me From the outside Don't think you know me Cos our worlds just may collide Don't think to judge me On the strength of your confusion Don't think you haven't seen me In your mind's illusion I'm a sin A delicious kind of sin I'm a sin A delicious kind of sin.
Where is she coming from? I'm not going in there on my own.
DR FOLEY LAUGHS Stephen, Martin, Mandy.
What do you want? We're seeing whether the original investigation missed anything.
The only thing missing is our family and justice.
We understand how you feel.
This is a courtesy call.
We believe your cousin - Mark - has moved back here.
He's got a bloody nerve! We just thought you BANG! ought to know.
We're salvaging a boat tomorrow.
It could be the Miss Maria.
Might shed some light as to who did kill your family.
I've been imprisoned because some policeman decided I was guilty.
Probably, like YOU, he despised people like me.
Don't assume that.
I don't have any opinion.
I just deal with the facts.
Of which there seems to be a distinct lack in the original trial.
You can say that again.
You're not like the others.
So, Mark, the evidence Maria.
My name is Maria.
Now what is it you really want? I want to find out who killed your adopted father and what happened to the rest of your family.
If that's true - raising the Miss Maria is the only way to find out.
I see.
Well, we'll do whatever we can to help.
There is something you may help us with.
Your uncle was found here? Yeah.
How long might you need this place? If it is the Miss Maria, we could take it somewhere else.
Yeah.
It's right to bring her here - she'll be home.
It was and is a family business.
And what sort of business is that? Cockles, mainly.
Thomas and John inherited it.
When John died, Stephen and Martin took over their father's share.
Then everyone worked for the family business.
Including you.
Thomas tried to make me.
What do you mean"tried"? Mark didn't like boats, and he didn't like fish.
Nor does Maria.
For the sake of my sanity, could you just refer to yourself as Mark? No.
In the beginning, Thomas made me go out on the cockle boat.
I couldn't bear it.
I refused to go out again.
That was the first and last time I had anything to do with cockles.
So, Maria, why choose the name Maria? You think the rest of my family are on that boat.
Are they? May I remind you that I'm here voluntarily.
I suggest you remind me at regular intervals.
Why did you decide to return to your home town? I mean, wouldn't it have made more sense to move somewhere else? When I was convicted of murder, I lost my inheritance.
It went to the next of kin.
Now that I've been proved innocent, I intend to pursue what's legally mine.
It's what Thomas wanted.
Mark! There are going to be changes.
I want you to be part of them.
None of you will change! I need to tell YOU something.
Just listen, OK? I want you to be part of this, son.
You don't get it.
I don't CARE! Just listen! I'm trying to help you, son! Look at me NOW! Stop pretending! Look at ME! So what did Thomas have planned? Hindsight's a bitch.
It's life's way of rubbing salt into the wound.
He wanted a boy! I mean, what a joke! He wanted a boy and he got me.
So what were his plans? He never said.
Never got that far.
Mark had to tell him who he really was.
He'd been putting it off too long.
What did Mark tell him? What he believed he was then.
Which was what? Gay.
And what is he now? Maria isn't gay.
Will you pay attention? Maria is a woman.
This is really difficult for me.
I'm sorry, Grace.
It might be all right for you, but do we have to deal with two people? There is only one person.
Mark had to tell Thomas what he really, really wanted to do.
Which was what? Showtime! I can imagine how he reacted to that.
You never have listened! Don't! He's not worth it! Leave him! Did Thomas have any other enemies - people who might have wished him harm? No.
Except Mark.
He despised this.
Thought he was too good for it.
Didn't like getting his faggoty hands dirty.
He thought it kept him from his destiny.
What happened after the fight? Mark left, got drunk.
He decided to leave.
Needed money.
He went to steal the day's takings.
It says here, from a medical taken after your Mark's arrest, that Mark was suffering from two broken ribs, a fractured cheek bone and clear and obvious bruising.
Some argument.
He was a tough man.
Tough love.
Mark's mother, what was Mark's relationship like with her? Mark was always closer to his father.
Do you know any reason why someone would want to kill Maria's family? Mark's.
God, Mark! Maria! It's the same family, isn't it? It's one person! Why would somebody want them dead?! The price of fresh fish! KNOCK AT DOOR Thank you.
The priceof fresh fish.
You'll have to excuse me.
I have to callBill Durham.
Bill Durham? Yes.
We're raising the Miss Maria tomorrow.
He's helping.
Tomorrow? Yes.
Tomorrow.
What a shame.
I'll miss it.
I have an appointment.
Well, I'll keep you informed.
Perhaps after your appointment, you'd like to come and talk to ME.
I'd never turn down the chance to talk about myself.
Good.
Bet you bloody don't! 'Viking, North Utsire, variable 3, becoming southerly 4 or 5, occasionally 6 later.
'Occasional rain with fog patches.
South Utsire, variable' Which part of "I hate boats" don't you understand? If you don't feel good, put your head over the stern or you'll be eating all over again.
Oh! Frankie.
Frankie.
No.
But this Mm-mm.
This is the stern, OK? It's the bit at the back.
It was one sugar, wasn't it? Thank you.
Tell medid Mark ever try and contact his real parents? Why? They didn't want him.
If they had, they'd have come for him.
He wasn't curious? No.
Hmm In the, er in the original trial notes, it said that Mark was very close to his cousin Stephen.
How do you go about profiling killers, murderers? Several ways - for instance, you can look at their case histories or look for clues amongst their past behavioural patterns.
You'll profile my family's killer? Possibly.
Is that what you're doing now? Tell me about prison.
It's full of men.
I was raped.
A lot, at first.
Learnt the rules, played the game.
Realised you needed to sleep with the right people.
Eventually, I became a star.
I'm getting too old for this lark.
So I spend my time running the pub.
Which you own, yeah? Yeah.
Were you there the night Thomas Lovell was murdered? I was there.
It was our wedding anniversary.
Did you see Mark that night? Yes.
Mark came in early.
He was soonknocking them back.
What did you say to him? The truth.
The truth, that's all.
Come on, Pen, like you don't know! Like it isn't obvious.
Why don't you just piss off to London, Mark?! I intend to do just that.
Now, why don't you piss off and leave me alone?! Go on to Daddy.
I'm sure he'll give you my part.
What are you talking about?! Here's to the lovely family.
God bless all who sail in them! Like father, like daughter.
You disgust me! Get out of my face! That's it.
I like it up the arse.
In my bloody element here.
Sailors everywhere! Who wants a piece of my arse?! That's enough.
I'm just starting.
Let's be steady, now.
I love sucking cockles as well! Not in here, you don't, sweetheart.
Easy! Piss off, the lot of you! Piss off, Bill! You've got a lovely grip.
That's right - PISS OFF! You saw the Miss Maria leave? Yeah.
Who was on board? From where I was standing, I saw only Thomas.
There was no sign of anyone else? No! The Miss Maria left harbour and that was the last time I saw her.
OK.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but, umPenelope, Mark's sister, did she resent Mark at all? Mark thought then she resented him, but Pen was envious of Mark's potential and freedom.
Was there anybody in Mark's family he got along with? April.
April? Stephen and Martin's mother.
She is very special.
"Is"? She's still alive, just.
She had a breakdown when Uncle John died.
How did he die? He got washed overboard.
He couldn't swim.
He was a fisherman and he couldn't swim? Many never bother to learn.
If you end up in the North Sea, best not fight it.
April, she taught her boys to swim.
Tell me about Stephen.
I'd rather not.
OK.
When they discovered Thomas, how did that make Mark feel? Numb.
'Despised.
'Alone.
' Where's my mum? That's what we want to know, Mark.
And Pen and Tessa? 'Guilty.
' And the Miss Maria? PHONE RINGS Excuse me.
Yep? Oh, right.
Yeah.
Here with me now, yeah.
OK.
Bye.
Superintendent Boyd.
They've found the Miss Maria? Are they on it? Are my family on the boat? Are you OK? I'm not sure what good will come of this.
It'd be better if you stayed here.
It's where I live.
They have to face me sooner or later.
Not tonight.
I think it's definitely the night.
Maria, stay here! Hey! THEY ALL SHOUT AT ONCE Get behind the tape! Can you read it?! Do not cross.
It's our boatyard! Actually, it's MY boatyard.
That is my family on the boat.
Mark? Whoa! Easy! MORE SHOUTING OK, OK.
Calm down, please! Let him see! We'll look together! Sir, calm down, please.
Martin, let them deal with it.
He's right, sir.
It's cos of you he got let out.
We're here for you.
You can abuse us, but it won't help them or you.
Now, will you please calm down? Let's go.
Please, go home.
Thank you.
Why are boats referred to as "she"? Good question, but completely irrelevant.
Mark has a gender identity disorder.
A woman in a man's body.
Not a very successful-looking one.
That is also irrelevant.
Mark's disorder is cultural, social, biological.
It can be caused by psychological distress, but some people do think they've been born in the wrong body.
From his family? His family seem pretty dysfunctional.
Most are.
Where's YOUR dress? Weekends only.
The question I have is - why did he go back? The trauma you know can be more bearable than the trauma you don't.
How does the gender disorder affect his or her status as a suspect? It doesn't! No, what I mean is, is he capable of killing his family? It doesn't MAKE him capable of being a murderer.
But he's still capable.
Yeah, but it's not the disorder, right? No.
OK.
No, but he is capable Oh, God! His psychological prison report would suggest a cause for concern, so I've asked his prison officer to come in.
Do YOU think Mark is guilty? I don't know.
Forensics say otherwise, but, er .
.
I have to admit What? I'm stuck.
Morning, ma'am.
Morning.
Mark's quick release was of concern to me.
He was found not guilty.
His guilt or innocence isn't the issue.
His mental welfare is.
He was on suicide watch for the first few weeks of his incarceration.
Now, I take it that was just routine? How is Mark? Mark is calling himself Maria.
Maria's his drag act.
Not any more.
It's a reality.
Mark hasn't spent a day in reality.
Faced with the prospect of a lifetime in prison, who'd want to? He's out there now.
And I'm here.
Which suggests to me you have some concerns.
Yes.
Well, I just want to get an idea of his character - psychological make-up and what he was capable of.
He was capable of doing anything he put his mind to.
Even murder? Aaagh! Mark was obsessive and his ability to hold a grudge, alarming.
If anyone harmed him or, in his eyes, caused him injustice, he'd spend weeks plotting his revenge.
You'll find all you need to understand him in those boxes.
Good.
Thank you.
When he was younger, Mark had difficulty forming relationships.
How was he in prison? Not good.
Constantly in trouble, fighting.
We even had to put him in the vulnerable prisoner unit.
But then things changed.
How? Mark may be a man born in the wrong suit, but he found ways of making it work for him.
How? Many never see the outside again.
They do what they have to, to pass the time.
Yes.
It's rumoured he struck up a relationship with Jack Ely.
I'm sure you've heard of him.
What kind of a relationship? I would not care to elaborate - I have a family to think of.
You're not eating properly.
I'm trying.
Everything's a bit rich out there.
I'm better off in here? It has its good points.
Gone downhill since you left us.
I do miss you.
That'll pass.
You need anything, you tell me.
Anything at all.
I'm all right.
Anything at all.
Really, I'm OK.
Don't do anything stupid out there, Maria.
What do you mean? You know what I mean.
And don't let Mark do anything stupid either.
SHE EXHALES OK, are you getting this? Yeah, yeah, we are.
I've got the remains of three bodies.
This is the skeleton of a child.
And this of a woman.
And they've been tied together.
Can you see that? Yeah, we can.
This woman may have freed herself and tried to get out of the hatch.
There are scratches all over it.
Now, I think this could be a bullet hole.
Yeah, well, Thomas WAS shot.
He may have been the lucky one.
These puncture holes say the hull was smashed from the outside.
Now we know how they died, what does that say about the killer? Devoid of emotion, no attachment to the victims whatsoever.
Doesn't sound like Mark Lovell.
No, not at all.
The Miss Maria leaves port.
Thomas Lovell is at the helm.
No sign of the rest of the family.
Coastguard reports a sighting out here in the estuary at about 7pm.
An hour later, Thomas Lovell's found dead on land.
Miss Maria we salvaged here, this side of two busy shipping channels, just outside the exclusion zone, next to the USS Richard Montgomery.
How did Thomas Lovell get back? Someone took him back? Possible, but only one set of footprints.
And they've been confirmed as his.
You look amazing.
Thank you.
Youyou should push your hair back behind your ear.
Much better.
Thank you.
Why are you here? Ohjust killing time.
Don't piss me about! I'm not.
This is where I live.
This is my home.
None of this is yours.
You betrayed this family, this business.
We've have fought to keep it going - you'd destroy it in a second.
When you said you'd call, I knew it just wasn't for a chat.
Well, things have changed, Mark.
It's not like it used to be.
When we were kids? We've all changed.
Oh, you've noticed! You've gone silent.
I can tell because I'm listening.
What is it you want from us, huh?! Did you really think I was capable of doing that? Did you think I could kill all those people? I loved my family.
And you.
Did you hear what I said? And you.
Stop it.
Stop it now.
I stood in that court and said nothing 11 years ago - nothing, and you lied about me.
You lied.
You betrayed me.
I said STOP! I want what is mine.
Don't do this, Mark.
You know we won't let that happen.
This family won't let you do this.
Bye, Stephen.
And, by the way, the name is Maria.
OK, ladies .

What? Thomas Lovell signed over the family home to his wife.
To protect the property.
Because of debt? No.
Was he in partnership with anyone? Stephen and Martin Lovell.
They've run it for 11 years, since he died.
But he owned a lot of property near London.
Maybe he had other ideas.
He eliminated risk.
To develop them into flats? A lot of money.
Yeah.
Check planning applications.
I'll talk to Mark Lovell about it.
Right.
I need his number.
Hello? What are you doing?! This is a crime scene! My boatyard.
How did you get in here? I have to see.
You're contaminating the scene.
I'll need a DNA sample from you.
Is it my family? Please, will you just leave? Lord, won't you buy me PHONE RINGS A night on the town? I'm counting on you, Lord Please don't let me down Show me you love me And buy the next round MUSIC: "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" by The Clash # Lord, won't you buy me A night on the town? RINGING CONTINUES MUSIC CONTINUES Should I stay or should I go? I can't take this! What can we do, eh? What can we do?! He's got us cornered, Stephen! We've got to put a stop to this now.
You know what he's capable of.
Ain't you got the guts?! Who took the boat out there? Not you, was it? It was my family too.
Then go and do something about it.
Are you two arguing again? Talking about Mark, trying to figure out what he'll do.
Here's what he's going to do next.
He's going after your inheritance.
- What? He can't do that! - He can and he has.
You should've put your share in Mandy's name.
Well, what're we going to do, Fin? Nothing we CAN do.
We'll see.
You're full of good ideas.
How will we get out of this? Martin! Are you coming or what, Mandy? Don't, don't! You leave it! Oranges and lemons Say the bells of St Clements MEOWING All right, my little babies! Mummy's going to feed you now.
I'm not going out till later.
