Ted Case? Wasn't he the DCI that?
- Who came good for Gerry, yeah. - Yeah.
I don't see why we can't keep things ticking over.
I mean, we're the ones with the expertise...
What the hell do they make Sellotape out of over there?

In the US. It's called Scotch tape.
And Gerry ought to be careful, he's supposed to be dead.

Ripped By mstoll Happy New Year 2016 - New Year, New Color ;-)
We meet again. Dan Griffin.
- Steve McAndrew. - Ed Case.
Ed Case?
I prefer Ted.
Any relation to Jimmy Case? Used to play for Liverpool?
I'm afraid not. I played cricket for Ealing
and I've got a dog called Bertie.
Does that count?
I have a cat... named Simpkin.
Vicarage of St Barnabus Church.
Which was deconsecrated last year.
Saturday morning, April the 9th, 2006.
The vicar, Leonard Whitechurch,
was found by his ten-year-old son Luke,
stabbed through the heart.
Murder weapon had gone.
Door was open, but no sign of forced entry.
The murder was national news -
not least because Whitechurch
was married to a black woman, Alicia,
with whom he had three children.
He'd been at the parish for two years.
Last three months he'd been receiving racist hate mail.
From the same person according to the handwriting expert.
- I remember this case. - Mm-hm.
No, I mean, I remember this case.
Oh, yeah. Vicar in the hall with the lead piping.
Oh, no. Vicar in the hall with a dagger.
Well, letter opener actually.
It was found last week at an architectural dig
less than a mile away.
It's tested positive for Whitechurch's blood.
"To Leonard from..."
Forensics are still trying to decipher the rest of it.
The only other people at the house regularly were Dora,
the Polish cleaner.
She was away in King's Lynn visiting friends
and Wendy Carter the curate.
She was seen out shopping.
You should also know that before this turned up,
Luke Whitechurch had been badgering us about the killing.
He talks of having a previously suppressed memory
of the death of his father.
Says he now remembers hearing shouting
and seeing from his bedroom window
a man leaving the house
just before he went down and found the body.
You're joking. You are joking?
Well, obviously we can't use it in evidence.
So, cue Ted.
He led the Black on Black Gun Crime team until 2010.
His track record with the black community
proves that we're taking the whole thing very seriously.
Luke Whitechurch is due here at ten o'clock.
I'm afraid I have a Future Policy
and Strategic Initiative Development meeting to attend,
so I'll leave you to get to know each other.
Future Policy and what?
FUPSID. UCOS.
Don't you just love police acronyms?
- (Doorbell) - Ah.
Punctuality. The virtue of kings.
Hm. Weirdo, eh?
Luke?
Yeah.
Ted Case.
Thanks for coming.
Is that what killed him?
We think so. Tell us again how you remember it.
Matt and Sally...
my brother and my sister.
They was at home from college for the weekend.
Me, them and my mum we was all still asleep.
Dad used to get up early...
...writing stuff for church the next day.
It's OK. Take your time.
I heard shouting.
And I got up and...
I saw a guy leaving the house.
I come downstairs and...
Dad was there. Just... lying there.
Are you sure?
You never mentioned any man or shouting at the time.
Well... I couldn't see straight back then.
I couldn't see or hear or think or nothing!
And now you can?
You don't believe me.
I knew it.
I knew it!
I mean, do you know what it's like?
Coming downstairs and finding your dad
lying dead in a pool of blood?
No, no, son. We don't. We don't.
You think you ever forget that?
I mean, ever?
You see, I still dream about my dad.
But every morning I wake up and he's not there.
He's here.
The hate mail's gone back to the labs
to see if there's anything new.
In the meantime, how about we talk to the family?
You're not taking what he said seriously?
I'm taking the whole case seriously.
Nine years ago someone murdered a good man and got away with it.
What more do you want?
So let's see what the rest of the family's got to say.
If I'm off to see Mum...
I'll go with the well-dressed one.
You go talk to the brother.
Well-dressed? What's this? Rubbish!
(Knocks on door)
- Matt Whitechurch? - I'm Steve McAndrew
with the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.
Thanks for agreeing to meet.
Do I have a choice?
What, in life? Generally?
A philosophical policeman. How nice.
- Nice house. - Can we just get on with it?
Sure.
Well, you know we've found the murder weapon.
Wonder if you recognised it?
Dad had lots of religious stuff like that.
Could have been his but I'm not sure.
OK, thanks.
Er...
Now, we spoke to Luke earlier. You know that your brother...
Is an idiot.
Not getting a great sense of brotherly love here. Why's that?
- He's not well. - What, you think he's?
I think psychiatrists have a lot to answer for.
Luke's never got over Dad's death.
And you have?
Some of us cope better with damage than others.
- Damage? - Mm-hm.
Tell me, erm...
Who do you think killed your father?
No idea.
Do you think it might've been some kind of racist attack?
(Chuckles)
Bit strange if it was, Dad being white.
No, I'm talking about the letters.
Dad tried to shield me and my sister from that sort of thing.
But we knew what the world was like.
- The world? - Mm-hm.
- The one you lot don't help. - My lot?
Don't look at me, son, I'm from Glasgow.
Anyway, tell me what you remember about that day.
I was in bed, asleep.
I heard Luke screaming.
I ran downstairs and there he was.
Luke, my mother...
Are you sure it was Luke you heard screaming, no-one else?
Mm-hm.
Tell me, er...
- Did you like your father? - (Scoffs)
A lot of people don't.
Do I detect a hint of self-revelation there?
Yes.
He was a very...
...decent...
...kind...
Too kind, in fact.
Probably why he let the people in the house that did it.
PASTOR: Reject all sin!
(Congregation cry out in agreement)
Yes, the end of suppression shall be cast off.
(Congregation cry out in agreement)
Evil spirits that possess those you love shall be cast out.
All your troubles shall be resolved.
(Shouts of agreement)
- Bit one-note. - God bless you all.
Well, here they come.
(Chatter)
Alicia Whitechurch?
Dan Griffin, Unsolved Crime and Open Cases Squad.
Erm... Do you mind if we don't do this here?
- Of course. - Follow me.
Leonard did collect religious artefacts,
but I don't recall anything like that.
"To Leonard..."
Yeah, we're still trying to decipher
the last part of the inscription.
You're sure you didn't hear any shouting?
No.
After I...
After I found Leonard, I called 999.
I never thought that Luke might then come down
and find his body.
I should never have let that happen.
Well, Luke seemed pretty adamant that he saw someone.
(Sighs)
I'm sorry, what do you mean by... (Sighs)
Your children can be a trial and a joy.
- Is that it? - Sorry I can't be more helpful.
That's OK.
I have to go out and get some books.
- These gentlemen are from UCOS. - Hunt in pairs now, do we?
Matthew, apologise.
- I apologise. - I'm sorry.
It's been hard.
The children were very little, it was too much for them.
Not just for them.
How did you meet Leonard?
At university. We were both at Canterbury.
- Love at first sight? - Hm.
Well, Leonard changed my life.
Changed my view of the world, made me more...
...thoughtful, tolerant.
- Everybody loved Leonard. - Well, not everybody.
He received hate mail. Racist hate mail.
You were asked who you thought sent the letters.
You said you felt it was someone local - why?
We'd been in inner-city parishes... and it was fine.
But then we came to St Barnabus.
I've never known hatred like it.
It was... terrible.
Then came the letters. It was clear the writer knew us.
The murder team checked the congregation.
The experts compared over 100 samples of handwriting,
- but no match. - Evil is cunning.
Is that why you no longer attend a C of E church?
The church where I worship now reminds me of the church
my parents used to take me to as a child.
- It's comforting to... - (Phone rings)
...go back to a place where you feel at home.
Excuse me, I've got to take this.
- Sorry. TED: Yep.
Yeah, I'll ask her.
Yeah, she's right here. Cheers.
That was Steve.
They've finally uncovered the rest of the inscription.
It says, "To Leonard from WFC."
Wimbledon Football Club? Did Leonard like football?
Wendy.
Wendy Carter.
Her middle name was Felicity.
- Wendy the curate? - Yes.
I sometimes worried that she was too...
...fond of Leonard.
Where is she now?
You don't know... about Wendy?
Yeah, Miss Carter was found hanging
from the tree by a nylon rope.
A stool lying on its side below her body.
She was declared dead at the scene.
April 9th, 2008, two years to the day after Whitechurch died.
Yeah. It's noted that Miss Carter had been suffering
from depression for some time, ie guilt.
Is that shorthand for, "I stuck a knife in his chest"?
She was seen out shopping.
Yeah, or somebody who looked like her. Look, listen.
Curate's got a thing for the vicar, right?
She declares her undying love for him.
He says no, curate takes it badly,
stabs him with the present she bought.
Two years later, she can't bear the guilt any more
and it's... Good night, Vienna.
Doesn't sound very Christian.
What if it wasn't suicide?
Hard to hang somebody who doesn't want to be hanged.
Not without signs of a struggle.
Exactly. Guilt, shame, suicide. Why else would she kill herself?
I don't know yet, but I don't start theorising
on next to nothing either.
Let's have a look at what we do have. Where's the coffee pot?
- We don't have one. - No, just instant.
- Instant? Any biscuits? - No.
So, you tell us: What do we have?
Well, we've got a dead vicar.
We've got a curate on the end of a rope.
One son who can't get over his father's death and one who has.
We've got a mother who's reverted to childhood
and a daughter... Well, we haven't met the daughter
and this is just day one.
Look, I mean, the way I see it,
it can't have been anybody from the congregation.
Their average age was 68
and the handwriting expert said
that whoever wrote the letters was aged between 20 and 30.
They might know a lot about the family,
but they certainly ain't no churchgoer.
So?
Well, we start all over again tomorrow morning.
Bright and early.
Can't believe he called you the well-dressed one.
I mean, look at the state of him.
Who is this guy?
FIONA: You're stuck. - No, I'm not.
Yes, you are. What is it?
"On a shark, all at sea." Five and three.
Noah's Ark.
- Correct? - Possibly.
(Clears her throat)
You don't like it.
- What? - This.
You think it's too much. You hate it.
No, no, no. Stop.
You know, for the most intelligent woman
I have ever met...
...you're an idiot.
Chris, my husband...
he didn't like me dressing like this.
He thought it was too show-off-y.
Well, then, he's an even bigger idiot.
I need to ask you something.
Would you meet my parents?
- What? - Not now.
It's just we've been together eight months, and...
Look, you don't have to. It's probably not even a good idea.
No, no, no, of course. If you want me to, yes.
Are they... normal?
Normal? No.
(Laughs) How could they be?
They're a bit old-fashioned. Dad can be a bit spiky sometimes.
Don't worry, I shall be as good as gold.
- Do you really like this? - Oh, yes.
Can I ask you one more favour?
Will you come back here later...
and take it off?
Ow!
Danny, I've made a decision. We've got to challenge this guy.
This-this-this nutcase.
He can't just come in here and take over.
UCOS is not a dictatorship.
We're all entitled to our say, especially me.
I mean, I've been here longer than anybody. It's ridiculous.
- I mean, how long is it? - Steve.
He's barely got his foot in the door and...
I got us cappuccinos. Is that OK?
Ah, cappuccinis.
- Si. Vabbene per te? - Si. Prego.
- What? - And what's this?
Oh, well...
That is the lab report on the hate mail.
And thanks to the advances in DNA,
they found some traces going right back to a Kevin Duncan.
Fancy a doughnut?
Erm... yes, thank you.
Do we have an address for this Duncan?
Better than that.
He's just done four years for glassing a bloke back in 2011.
He's only been out for two weeks.
What? Duncan glassed someone? Oh, no, thanks.
Well, not just someone, someone black.
Right, so we could be talking, like, a race crime here?
Yeah. So, we'll show Luke some pictures
and see if he can pick out this Duncan.
And then we have a long chat with a racist graphomaniac.
- A what? - A compulsive letter writer.
How much do we owe you for all this?
Oh, no, no, it's all on me.
Er... So... Is that... is that chocolate, that one?
Yeah.
No. No, thank you. No.
He was running away, I didn't see his face.
All right.
(Door opens)
2006, you wrote a series of race hate letters
to Leonard Whitechurch,
the vicar of St Barnabus' Church, Isleworth.
- Did I? - DNA says you did.
Who's that, then?
Two weeks after he received the last letter,
somebody murdered Reverend Whitechurch.
A vicar? No! Shocking.
You wrote these letters,
very unpleasant letters, to him and his family.
Leonard Whitechurch, man of God,
sullying the purity of his English heritage,
mixing the blood of black and white.
Very crude.
But, then, for some people, so is miscegenation.
Do you want to explain that to him? He looks lost.
You wrote about his wife, his sons, his daughter -
stuff only somebody intimate with the family would know.
- Ooh, what are you saying? - You listen to me, smart arse.
You wrote these letters, you're in the frame for murder.
So you better start talking. What had he ever done to you?
Dig deep enough, you'll probably find he was an Arsenal fan.
We'll match the writing - we've plenty of yours,
and then, pal, let the good times roll.
Let the good times roll indeed, yeah.
Funny how you've never mentioned any evidence of me
being at that murder scene.
Why's that, then? Oh, you haven't cautioned me either.
Could that be, by any chance, because you haven't got any...
evidence? Because... there isn't any?
(Mock gasps) Oops.
You're going down. I'm going to make sure of that.
I'll take my chances.
Bye.
Have you spoken to this man?
Luke wasn't able to recognise
any of the people we showed him, so...
Of course he didn't, it was nine years ago.
- Matthew. - I know what I heard and saw.
This is ridiculous. You know who you think did it,
so why can't you tell us?
Because you may not look like a vigilante,
but you're beginning to sound like one.
We haven't been able to track down your daughter.
Do you have an address for Sally?
Er... no, I don't.
We're not really in communication.
OK. Well, I'll leave you to get on with your day.
I'll see you out.
(Front door opens)
She's in the band.
Sally. They're performing at the Eagle in Clapham,
and they normally rehearse there.
Would you like me to call her?
I can let her know you're coming.
Why not?
You see...
Mum and Matt, they don't get on with my sister.
It's just... It's just different.
(Mouths)
♪ Somebody give me my time
♪ Somebody give me a rhyme
♪ Give me my time
♪ And won't you save me?

What?
(Feedback whine)
Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt. I'm Dan Griffin.
Your brother said he'd call to let you know I was coming.
Oh, yeah. Sorry, guys. I've just got to quickly do this.
- Don't be long, we play later. - Yeah, I'll be five minutes.
Nice voice.
- Been in a band long? - It's what I do.
- Make any money out of it? - (Laughs)
No, but... It's what I do, since my dad died.
Yes, I'm sorry.
Do you have any idea about who might have been involved?
No. He was... He was a good man, I miss him.
And how about Wendy Carter? You were close to her, apparently.
She was a good person too.
It's a letter opener. It's what killed your dad.
- Have you seen it before? - No.
We now know that it had Wendy's initials carved on it, WFC.
She killed herself two years to the day after your dad died.
- Bit of a coincidence. - What do you mean?
Your mum thinks Wendy may have had a crush on him.
My mum told you that?
Wendy loved my dad.
Not in that way. She admired him, and you could talk to her.
No, when my dad died, she was devastated.
- As was your mum. - Yeah, of course.
But she was the one who used to argue with Dad.
I mean, don't get me wrong, she loved him,
but, you know, they used to row a bit.
- About what? - (Sighs) Er...
Mum and Dad believe that colour didn't matter.
That we live in a wonderful, multicultural, happy society.
Then Dad got the gig at St Barnabus.
Not a wonderful, happy, multicultural society, then.
They shouldn't sell that church - they should bomb it.
We got abuse. The letters.
Six months after Dad died, Matt got beat up in the street.
Dad kept wanting to believe, but it was a joke.
I even heard Mum say to him, "You don't know what it's like.
"How could you? You'll never be black."
This to the man she married.
Mum likes to be in control.
Why do you think my brothers are still there?
Luke said you found the guy that sent all that crap to my dad.
Did he kill him, do you think?
That's what we're trying to find out.
Luke's good. Sweet.
But what he saw messed up his head.
- (Door opens) WOMAN: Sal?
Come on.
If you can find out who did this,
that'd be the best thing to happen to this family
in a long, long time.
All 4 Men? You should try Claudio Bizelli.
He's mostly Italian retro, but some nice French stuff.
Got a little shop near Seven Dials.
You should check it out.
No joy on Luke, but I managed to track down the sister.
- And? - Well, she's a bit alternative.
Sings in a band.
Gets on well with Luke but not with Matt or her mother.
Now I asked her about Wendy and her dad
and she said Wendy did love her dad, but not in that way.
Also said the parents argued.
- Hm. - Yeah.
Did you know that Matt was attacked
six months after the dad was killed?
- Matt? - Mm.
I wondered whether it might be Duncan.
- How was he? - Denied everything.
- I'm sure every word was a lie. - If it was him who beat up Matt
we really would be getting somewhere.
Please, don't say that about our case.
- What? - What you just said.
That we might be getting somewhere?
Look. It's really, really unlucky, in my opinion.
OK.
You know, this family are all over the place.
The original murder team,
they were convinced it was a race crime,
but I'm sure it's something much more complicated.
Ted? Do you want to come for a drink?
No, no, I'll give it a miss, but don't let me stop you.
That man has not been born yet.
(Exhales heavily)
Ah, now we're getting...
(Chuckles)
(Beeping)
- How are we doing for time? - We're fine.
- Did you get the wine? Cheese? - Yes. Yes.
- Are you nervous? - Yes.
- Do you want a cake? - Do they contain sedatives?
They're cupcakes, my mum's favourite.
- What's this? - Beef Wellington. My dad's.
- How do you do this? - Hm?
Cook, job, clever, attractive?
Intelligence and culinary expertise
are not mutually exclusive.
Despite Ready Steady Cook.
If I'm attractive, it's because I feel attractive,
increasingly so.
Where are the silver napkin rings,
the ones you got at the wedding?
Mummy, it's not a state banquet.
- Have you sold them? - No.
- Chris still has them. - Crispin.
(Chuckles) He would.
He's got taste.
Crispin?
So, er... Daniel.
- Dan? Danny? - Dan.
Fifi tells us you're a policeman.
Er, no. Well, I used to be. I still work for the police.
But er... Well, I retired, and then they asked me...
Hang on.
You were a policeman, then you retired.
And now you're back being a policeman again.
How does that work?
Oh, well, I still investigate crimes,
only this time it's in a civilian capacity.
OK.
So, if I was a mass murderer and I see you coming,
knowing you're a civilian,
presumably without the powers of arrest...
- Daddy... - Quiet, darling, I'm talking.
- You don't look 65. - I'm not.
I'm not going to be quaking in my boots, am I?
I mean, I'm sure you can take care of yourself.
- How's the meat? - Mm.
Lovely.
Crispin had a black belt in karate.
- Did he? - Blue.
I thought it was black.
- I worked until I was 72. - I'm working.
You obviously don't carry a gun.
Did I tell you I saw Crispin the other day?
Apparently he'd just operated on the King of Jordan.
He is the most brilliant surgeon.
He just flew out there: Cut, cut, cut,
rearranged the royal innards.
Back by tea-time.
Got a pilot's licence, has he?
- What? - The pastry is very nice.
That's what I most admire about Crispin -
he's got hands that could kill, but he uses them to save lives.
- Does he? - Countless lives.
- Really? - Countless.
It's a shame he made such a mess of Fiona's then, isn't it?
- What? - Daddy.
- What did you say? - Is there any mustard?
Yes, good idea.
I'm afraid I don't like your manner.
Well, this isn't my manor, is it? It's Fiona's.
- What? - And, as far as I'm concerned,
Crispin is a total arse.
You may think he's God's gift, but it's pretty clear to me
that he treated your daughter with total contempt.
He's undermined her at every opportunity.
He's devalued her looks, her intelligence,
even her femininity.
And I don't care if he's Bruce Lee reincarnated,
if I ever meet him, I'm going to punch his stupid lights out.
And I think we all know what he can do
with his silver napkin rings.
More peas?
- Daddy! - Mr Kennedy.
- Daddy! Daddy! - Aaargh!
- Just try and calm... Mummy!
- Erm, look... - What are you doing?
I'm sorry, I'm going.
No, you're not. How am I going to get rid of a beef Wellington
and half a dozen cupcakes?
I'm so sorry.
Stop saying you're sorry.
As far as I'm concerned, you're truly special.
No-one I've been with has made my father want to punch them.

(Some fans call out)
Hey. Hey!
Hey, bitch!
Where you going now? Where you going now?
- Kevin, get off me! - Why'd you not say anything?
- What are you talking about? - Just walk away, disappear?
- The police are after me for... - Let go of me!
- Luke, just... - (Sally screams)
- Oi! Leave her alone. - Get off...
Get off me! Get off me, you bastard!
Sally!
You can't nick me, you're not even a copper any more!
I'm perfectly legitimate, mate.
Do you think you can call 999? It's a bit uncomfortable here.
I checked Kevin Duncan's record.
He worked the student union bar at Thames University,
the one you dropped out of.
- How long did you know him? - A few months.
We went out four or five times. That's all.
- Why did you stop seeing him? - Cos he was weird.
Have you ever met him since?
Did you know he wrote those letters to your dad?
- Of course not. ALICIA: Luke.
Luke. Oh, no.
TED: They think he's going to be fine.
Cracked ribs, but his head's OK.
Why is she here? She's not family.
She was there for me when you weren't.
Sally, please. Don't talk to me like that.
TED: Matt...
Evidently, the guy who attacked Luke
used to go out with your sister.
His name is Kevin Duncan.
And she told us you got beaten up after your dad died.
It wasn't him, was it?
No, no, that was just some random guy.
And no-one you knew?
I never saw him before in my life.
He just walked past, made this crack,
the next thing I'm on the floor.
In the end, I decided not to press charges.
So he was arrested?
Yeah, but after what happened to my dad,
the last thing I wanted to do was go to court,
have my mum put through a load more grief.
I just...
I just wanted to get on with my life.
Are you saying this Duncan killed my dad?
SALLY: Fine, we'll go! - Don't let her upset you, babe.
- God, she just goes on. - I'd better get back inside.
- You can deal with her. TANNOY: Dr Sinclair to X-ray.
Sally?
Dr Sinclair to X-ray, thank you.
Can I ask you a question?
When did you come out?
Huh. What's it got to do with you?
Thanks for helping Luke.
- Let's get out of here. - I just need to...
I need a drink.
(Doors close)
Oh, yeah. Oh, baby!
- What you looking at? - Ahh!
Oh, just looking at this report er...
on the assault on Matt Whitechurch.
12th November, 2006.
A guy was arrested but Matt doesn't press charges,
so no further action taken.
But the attacker was a Roman Krasnova, Polish carpenter.
- Polish? - Yeah.
I've been trying to track this Roman down, had no joy yet.
But, of course, we've got the Whitechurches' Polish cleaner,
Dora Sobieski.
She's still here, works in a Polish delicatessen in Ealing.
So it'd be worth talking to her.
You never said: What actually happened to your eye?
I walked into a door.
Due cappuccini e un macchiato per mio.
Has Fiona got you to talk like that?
And... some cupcakes.
Wow. Where did you get these?
I made them.
You made these? You baked those cakes?
Well, everybody bakes nowadays. Don't they?
- New clothes? - Er... Oh, these?
No, no, I just... They've been hanging around for ages.
I thought, "Well, I'll just wear them," you know.
- So, what do you think? - Yeah, what do you think? Hm?
- He means about the case. - Sorry, yeah.
Well, Sally Whitechurch.
Are we missing something? Why she and her mother don't get on?
Well, to me, it gets less and less like a racial crime.
Luke said it. The family's completely screwed up.
I don't think we're scratching the surface
- of what goes on amongst them. - (Phone rings)
Oh, this is delicious. The texture of the sponge.
- Griffin, UCOS. - It's so light, isn't it?
- Yeah. Steve. - Hm?
- Polish centre, Hammersmith. - Oh, brilliant.
Hieronym. Yeah, hi.
Thanks for calling me. No, this is brilliant. Good time.
- Yeah, mm-hm. - Butter icing and sprinkle...
That's brilliant. That's such a help, yeah.
No, listen, that's...
Er... Dziekuje.
(Laughs) Yeah!
Thanks a lot, pal. Thank you. Cheers, now. Bye.
Well... get this.
Roman Krasnova married Dora Sobieski,
19th of May, 2006, in Hounslow.
That's about...
seven weeks after Leonard Whitechurch died.
Interesting.
I don't know if it's got anything to do with Duncan.
Well, something else I can ask him this afternoon.
Kevin, you've just served four of a ten-year sentence.
You're out on licence, so after last night,
that means you'll be going straight back inside again.
And when they do you for those letters,
they'll be throwing the book at you.
Are you that stupid you can't see the mess you're in?
I mean, as it stands, everything now points to you
having killed Sally's dad.
For the first time in your life, be smart
and try to convince me otherwise.
I never killed him.
You met Sally at Thames University.
She went out with you, then dumped you.
- Then you started sending... - No, I tried to talk to her.
Rang her to find out why. Nothing.
Finally I found out where she lived and went to see her there.
Her dad came to the door.
And I told him, "I just want to talk to her."
That I loved her.
I did love her.
But he's all pretending to be nice and holier than thou.
So you paid him back
by sending a bunch of letters full of racist abuse?
Black girl turned you down,
so all of a sudden it's their fault. Was that it?
I didn't kill him.
- I loved her. - OK, Kevin,
where were you on the morning of April the 9th, 2006?
Hold on, let me check my diary.
I don't bleeding know.
Well, you'd better bleeding find out.
By the way, Kevin...
Sally... is gay.
She's a lesbian.
No, that's garbage.
You're saying that to wind me up!
Hello. Dora Sobieski?
- Yes? - Hello.
I'm Steve McAndrew, this is Dan Griffin.
We're with the Unsolved Crime And Open Case squad.
Police?
We're looking into the death of Leonard Whitechurch in 2006.
You used to clean for him, Dora, at the time he died.
Yes, why? Is there a problem?
Six months after he died, Roman Krasnova, your husband,
attacked Leonard's son, Matt.
Is Roman around?
No, he's in Poland.
- We're not together any more. - Ah, OK.
Have you any idea why Roman attacked Matt Whitechurch?
No.
Does Roman not like black people, Dora?
I don't know. You must ask him.
We just wondered if there's some connection.
Roman doing this just a few months
after Leonard Whitechurch is murdered.
- I was in Norfolk. - Yes, that's right.
I don't want to answer any more questions.
I don't have to answer questions.
And what about Roman?
Does he enjoy answering questions?
Whereabouts in Poland, exactly?
- It's a simple call to Warsaw. - Or an e-mail.
I don't know where he is. He left me so I don't want to know.
And now I don't want to know you, so please go.
Just make sure you don't go anywhere.
Roman Krasnova went back to Poland December 2006.
April 2008, he's arrested
for attacking a pair of British tourists in Krakow.
- He's a bit of a lad, isn't he? - Two-year sentence suspended.
Last anybody knows, 2009,
he's heading for Poland looking for work.
If he was a good boy and paid his taxes,
we could find him, couldn't we? But... he's not a good boy.
Well, we could try Interpol, but they take months.
Anybody got any nice German connections?
How come they got hitched here, Dora and Roman?
You would have thought they'd have gone back to Poland?
Friends and family, and all that.
- (Phone rings) - Hounslow?
Griffin, UCOS.
Yep, all right. I'll tell him.
Luke Whitechurch has regained consciousness.
(Sighs) Couple of shites.
You pulled him off me. Thanks.
Did you recognise him? Do you remember seeing him before?
I know something else. Something I saw.
It was before my... my dad died.
I didn't want to think about it.
I mean, I just didn't think it was real.
But it was.
It was my dad...
Your dad and?
I saw him...
...with Wendy, in his study.
- I opened the door... - Saw what?
Was this the morning your dad died?
Luke...
What were they doing?
Sex.
They were having sex.
Look, this is a whole family at odds with itself
and we're just assuming
it's because the father's been murdered.
But what if this once wonderfully happy family
wasn't that perfect in the first place?
A vicar loses control of his trousers
and he's lost his moral compass.
And if Luke did see this,
it could be him who ended up stabbing his old man.
Who's to say a ten-year-old can't do that?
Well, I don't.
But, you know, if he did see Wendy and his dad...
you know... maybe he's not the only one.
What, do you think the whole family knew?
Gentlemen.
What's happened? Is he OK?
They said he was up and talking.
Yeah, he's fine.
Erm... You were close to Wendy Carter.
You told Dan here your father was too.
You said, "She loved him," and then you corrected yourself.
Were they, Sally? Lovers?
(Scoffs) No.
That's ridiculous. Who's been telling you that? Is it my mum?
Wendy was wonderful.
Maybe your dad felt the same way.
No, not like that. She was...
You could tell her anything.
Like about being gay?
Yes. I told her and she told my dad.
I couldn't.
I knew if it came from her she'd find the right thing to say.
Did your dad talk to you about it?
No.
And your mum? When did you tell her?
(Scoffs) Mum? Ha.
- We never told her anything. - We?
- Me and Matt. - Why's that?
Because when she finally did find out I was gay,
a few months after my dad died,
she tried to make me see a shrink.
That's when I thought it might be a good idea to move out.
That is great, Sam. That's perfect.
- Where's Steve? - I don't know.
But it's his turn to get the coffee.
Morning, campers. Here we go.
Now... Dan "Macchiato" Griffin.
- Thank you. - Ted "Cappuccino" Case.
And Steve "Long, Tall, Skinny" McAndrew.
Long, tall?
Plus my own humble contribution cake-wise.
- Macaroons. - Macaroons?
- Yes, macaroons. - Lemon... raspberry.
- These... are fantastic! - A small thing but my own.
Mm-mm.
Oh, wow, Steve, these cakes are gorgeous.
- Well, well. - What?
I asked for a record of Dora and Roman's wedding in the UK,
plus anything else they might turn up.
Well, they've turned up a birth certificate.
Dora had a baby in Ealing, November 2006.
Her and Roman?
No... not her and Roman.
Thanks for coming in, Dora.
We appreciate how difficult this is.
Now, first of all, you and Roman
got married on the 19th of May 2006, correct?
- Is that right? - Yes.
And you were pregnant...
which is why you didn't get married in Poland.
It might have been awkward - family, church, priests.
No, that's not true.
So you're saying you weren't pregnant?
What's this, then, a miracle?
The bit where it says "father unknown",
you mean that's some sort of Immaculate Conception?
We figured you got pregnant around the middle of February.
Is that right?
What's the matter? What are you afraid of?
I'm not afraid. I have done nothing wrong.
You were going out with Roman.
So why does it say "father unknown"?
Dora, look at me.
Your baby, born November 16th, 2006. Who's the father?
I... I don't know.
Oh, no, no, no, no. No. That's not true.
I can tell you're not that sort of a woman.
OK, two days after the baby was born,
Roman attacked Matt Whitechurch.
- Why? - Roman's not the father, is he?
DAN: Did he realise? Is that what happened?
He found out you were pregnant.
Is Leonard the father?
Roman found out and killed him?
No! No, not Mr Whitechurch.
What colour is your baby, Dora?
What colour is Katerina?
It's Matt, isn't it? Matt's the father.
(Inhales and exhales deeply)
I marry Roman and I pray my child will be white.
And be Roman's child.
But when she is born, Roman...
Knows she's not his.
Roman left you?
Where's your daughter now?
(Sniffles)
It's hard for a Polish woman to have a child alone.
So I give her up...
...to a Catholic adoption agency here in England.
Dora, Matt Whitechurch...
Did you ever tell him you were pregnant?
No. I only told him after the baby was born.
And what did he say?
He says I'm lying.
He says he wants nothing to do with the baby.
He says I'm never to talk to him again.
Did you tell anyone else about this, Dora,
before the baby was born?
Yes.
I was crying one day.
I was cleaning the house and crying.
And he finds me.
He asked me why I was crying. So I told him.
- Who? - Leonard.
Yeah, yeah, great. Thank you!
Alicia's going to the church to do the flowers.
Are we all good to go?
- Absolutely. - Yeah, fine.
Right, I should be there by 12.
It would be great if everyone else was there at the same time.
- OK, let's go. - Let's go!
Mr Case!
Matt says the man who attacked Luke,
you think he may have killed my husband.
- Possibly. - Luke!
Mum! (Winces)
Are you sure you're all right to come out?
Yes, Mum.
What's this?
Look, I understand how difficult it is for some of you.
Leonard's murder has obviously led to a huge amount of pain,
but I want to find out exactly what's happened.
Believe me, I'm happy to walk right back out again.
Please, please, just wait.
I mean, the fact is, as with most families,
there are secrets you all share or hide.
But because of that, it makes it much more difficult for us
to get to the truth.
What do you mean, secrets? The truth?
What about this man that attacked Luke?
Luke doesn't remember him.
Not as the person he saw leaving the house after the murder.
But he has told us about something else.
Something he's tried very hard not to remember.
Evidently, Wendy and Leonard were having an affair.
No, that's ridiculous.
Why would you say that?
You said this?
Don't you believe it?
Of course not. It's impossible.
Why? I'm sure she loved him.
(Door opens)
TED: Oh, hi. Erm...
Look, I don't know whether you all remember... Dora.
Dora?
What does she want?
What the hell is this about?
Dora's slightly nervous
so perhaps I'd better start off for her.
When she worked for you and your husband, she became pregnant.
- By Matt. MATT: What?
Are you being serious?
She told Leonard.
Did he tell you, Alicia?
No. People tend not to tell you things, don't they?
I never went near her.
STEVE: She had a baby. The baby was black.
We're happy to run a DNA test.
You slept with her?
No!
You slept with this woman in my house?
- Mum, stop it. - How could you?
How could you do this?
You are... shameless.
Disgraceful.
Stupid, stupid...
Stop it, you sound just like him.
Going on and on like you're Jesus Christ.
What did you say?
Just like him, on and on about how appalling I am,
how shameful I am.
And all this time, this Christian,
this man of God, my father...
...is shagging his own curate.
I mean, how much more hypocritical can you get?
Oh, my God.
This man lets people walk all over him.
Bishop, church, even his own congregation.
And here he is having a go at me about Dora.
And now she's pregnant.
So I'm paying the price of sin.
Too late for prayers.
One chance.
One chance he had to stand up for me,
to help me when I was in trouble.
And... and he's waving his... dagger in my face.
- So I grabbed it off him. - Oh, no!
No!
You told me he attacked you.
Because you confronted him.
Because you told him you knew about him and Wendy.
You lied.
You lied to me.
You made me lie.
Everything I did... said...
...was because you told me your father betrayed me.
- He did, Mum. - No!
- He did betray you. - It was because of you!
You have a child.
How could you do this?
How could you make me do this?
(Sobbing) Matthew, Matthew,
- Matthew, Matthew, Matthew... - (Sobs)
What have you done, Matthew?
MATT: Dad!
MATT: I just stared at him.
Stood there looking down at him.
I didn't feel like...
I had done anything. It was...
It was surreal...
...like something you hear about.
STEVE: Well...
he said he could cope with damage better than most.
He had plenty of time to cope with that lot.
Erm... Ted, that was a good trick...
Coming in at short notice
and making a go of it first time out.
So... thank you.
Not at all. Really interesting.
Actually, Ted, before you go...
could you come out here for a minute?
You too, Danny. I just...
I threw this together for you just to show our appreciation.
Here you go.
- You made this? - Yeah.
- You did not! - It's my mother's recipe.
Are you telling me you made that cake?
Are you telling me you made those cupcakes?
Now, that is some cake. Thank you!
- I'm gonna put the kettle on. - Yeah, yeah, sure. Good.
Well, it must have taken you ages.
Well, everybody bakes these days, don't they?
Anyway, didn't take long at all.
Once you've mastered a few basic techniques.
You do need a little bit of panache, of course...
