Tracks of tearslike cuttings on her skin.
That look I didn't know,it was reproach.
You take my treasure and my blood.
The part of me that's yours,and watch me go.
The wanted part.
You stand and watch me gointo the last sighting...

Hey! You see that? Did you see that?

Nice one.That was good.

AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
Well, I think we all needa moment after that,
and then we'll beginthe interrogation, Adam.
AUDIENCE CHUCKLES
Good morning, Inspector.Morning.
Early enough for you, Mr Howarth?
You came along for the ride, then?
It's not very often
we get the director of the labon the scene.
I told the staff I wantedto follow the next murder,
familiarise myself with their work.
Well, you couldn't have pickeda more straightforward one.
Domestic. 99% certain.
Even the murder weaponwas ready and waiting.
Keep out of the way!
What is this place anyway?
Oh, yeah. You're not a local.They call it a clunch pit.
They used to dig chalkout of the ground here for building.
It's a dismal place to die.
Hey, Doc.
Sorry.I got here as soon as I could.
DERISIVELY: Nice of you to join us.
So, were you actually goingto prioritise this one, then?
Only you said thatabout the last murder,
and I was sitting on my handsfor a week.
I'll get started.
If you've got any complaintsabout my lab,
put them in writingwith detailed evidence.
Your lab? I thought Mr Howarthwas the new boss.
Of the facility, not my lab.
Same difference.He's right.
The biology lab isDr Lorrimer's domain.
Christ, he's even worsethan bloody usual.
I assume that you...
What is his problem anyway?
No idea.
We need to talk about this.
Not now.
OK, lads, let's get cracking.Screens and cordons.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
..stay, OK?
Brenda.BRENDA: Good morning, Mr Howarth.
And I need to speak tothe surveyors.
What are you doing?
I thought I could make a starton the swab.
Leave it. I'll do it.
At least thenit'll be done properly.
WOMAN IN DISTANCE: Bye.MAN IN DISTANCE: Bye.
FOOTSTEPS APPROACHAll right, are you coming, John?
SECOND MAN IN DISTANCE:Yeah, I'm on my way.
Mr Howarth asked me to tell youhe's leaving now.
And?

America is a hard nut to crack.
It's also an enormous market.
You should be proud.
I know you won't readwhat they're saying,
but 18,000 copies sold in two weeks.
So... the US officeare pushing for a tour -
five or six of the major cities.
A tour?Poetry is the new rock and roll.
You could followin the footsteps of Dylan T.
HE SCOFFSHardly.
You could. It'd be a blast.
Everything would be set up for you.
Fall - that's autumn to you and me -starting in New York.
I have a job, Blanche.
No, you have two jobs,
and this one's getting biggerand wants attention.
Last year, you said you werethinking of stopping the policing.
That's a trick I play on myselfsometimes.
I tell myself I can stopso that I can keep going.
Why do you need to keep going?
PHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND
Sorry.
Honestly, I'm not sure.
Well, if there's any chanceyou could stop, might stop...
this would be the time.
Ride that wave.
We have a few weeks.
Can I tell themyou're thinking about it?
All right.
WAITER: Excuse me.There's a phone call for you, sir.
Scotland Yard.
'Dalgliesh.'
DS MISKIN: Why us, sir? This job?
The commissioner is anxiousabout it.
Hoggatt's laboratoryis privately owned,
but the evidencefrom almost every investigation
in the region is sent there.
A murder, a possible break-in,it affects confidence.
Have you been to Norfolk before?
No.
Chief Inspector Dalgliesh.Yes. This is DS Miskin.
Maximillian Howarth.I'm the director here.
Please, the staff arein the library.
DI Doyle's orders.
New building?Yes. Ten years in the planning.
This one's barely fit for purpose.
It was built as a private house.
Dr Lorrimer wasour senior forensic biologist.
He's worked here for 15 years.
I assume you knew him, too,Dr Rollinson?
Oh, yes.
We've worked on dozens of casestogether.
I asked a local GP to come and dothe initial exam with me.
I thought that would befor the best.
Good.
So, time of death,between 7pm and 10pm last night.
Possibly 11.
Looks like a single swinging blow
delivered when Lorrimerturned his back,
and the mallet would fitas a weapon.
Would the assailant beblood stained?
Probably not.
The blood appears to have flowedsteadily
without any preliminary splashing.
Would it have needed a lot of force?
Not especially.A woman could have managed it.
I was about to saythat I'll know more after the PM,
but I take it that you'll...
We'll be making arrangementsto have that done elsewhere.
Who found the body?Brenda. Brenda Pridmore.
She's our clerical officer.Poor girl is only 18.
How long was she alone with him?
Not more than a few moments,I should say.
I was alone with himfor a brief time
after I called the police.
Yes, briefly.
I'm sorry,but I'm due at the hospital.
Do you need anything elsefrom me now?
An alibi?
You do want an alibi?
A simple witness statement -
where you were last night,when you last saw Dr Lorrimer.
When you arrived here,
everything was locked and alarmedas normal?
Yes. It's very strange.
And we've noticed nothing missing,no other sign of a break-in.
Who else has keys, apart from you?
Lorrimer,
and then there's one keptin the wall safe in there
and one held at the police station.
This is the only door we use.
The back door is closed off.
You arrived at what time?
8:25.
Brenda arrived as I was opening up.
I was seeing to the alarm
when Lorrimer's father rangasking if he was here.
He hadn't come home last night.
Brenda took the calland ran upstairs to check, and...
..well...
That's the only onein the building
which isn't kept locked.
Is it usually ajar?
Yes, but it's far too high upto access.
But in theory, someone could havegot in or out through there
without triggering an alarm?
Well, there's...there's nothing on the other side
except for a sheer walland a 20-foot drop
down to the roofof the incinerator shed.
Would a cleaner have come inlast night?
Yes. We have a cleaner for an hourat the end of every day.
Looks like someone was sickin there.
DI DOYLE:Those are his keys for the lab.
I'm glad to behanding this one over.
It's weird when you know them,
and I'm up to my eyes.
On the case he was working on?Mostly.
That was our murder weapon.
At least that's what he wassupposed to be confirming for us.
And the case is?
A young woman found deadtwo nights ago in the clunch pit -
a quarry north of the town.
Head caved in.We reckon it was the husband.
Found a note from a fancy manin her bag.
Both the gentlemen have beenin custody since yesterday.
So, is it possible that someonewas trying to get to the evidence,
stop Dr Lorrimer from examining it?
Like who?DETECTIVE CHUCKLES
As I said,suspects are both in custody.
And if someone was doing that,why would they leave the mallet?
Next of kin was the father,is that right?
Yeah. We just left him.
Pretty sure he's not all there.
He reckons he called hereand spoke to Lorrimer
at 8:45 last night.
Which pushes back the time of death.
Yeah. But it might not be true.
There's one other relative -a cousin, Angela Foley.
She actually works here.Howarth's secretary.
I called her to get her to come overand look after the old man.
She didn't sound thrilled,but she's over there now.
Anything else we need to know about?I reckon that's it.
Will you be needing these two?
Because I...Yes. Let's get the body moved.
Then I want a thorough searchof the building,
any possible access pointswe haven't considered.
I want a search of the grounds -any footprints, tyre tracks...
There's what looks like dried vomit
in the first sinkin the men's toilets.
Take a sample, please.
We'll be sending all forensicsto the lab at the yard. Yes, sir.
I don't want to speak illof the dead,
but he was a miserable,arrogant pain in the arse,
especially lately.
You won't be short of suspects.
When you came downstairsafter seeing the body,
had any other members of staffarrived?
No.
Clifford Bradley arrivedwhile I was calling the police.
He's our junior biologist.
Then it was Miss Foley,my secretary.
Dr Lorrimer's cousin?Yes.
I had no ideathey were related until today,
but then I've been hereless than eight months, so...
You were an external appointment?Yes.
I was at the Darwin Centrein London before this.
One could say I was headhunted.
Hoggatt's is good, but it's slow.
Or at least it was.
And then there's the new buildto oversee.
The board feltthe place needed a manager
rather than a scientist.
Would Lorrimer have wanted the job?
He did want it.
He showed a littlelow-level resentment,
but nothing I couldn't deal with.
He was a first-rate biologist,
but he wouldn't have madea good director.
He, uh, struggledto get on with people.
Do you know if there wasanything in particular
which had been troubling him lately?
No, I'm afraid I don't.
I've never seen a dead body before.
Funny, all the stuffthat comes in here.
SHE CHUCKLES
I'm responsible forsigning everything in
with the police liaison -blood, fluids...
We even had a hand ina few weeks ago.
Did you touch the body, Brenda?No.
I could just see that he was dead.
You waited in the hallwhile Mr Howarth went upstairs,
is that right?Mmm.
Could anyone have come past you,
left through the front door,perhaps?
I don't think so.
I was shocked,but I didn't faint or anything.
Do you think the murdererwas still there
when I went upstairs?
Don't say that.
How did you spend yesterday evening?
Actually, I played violinat a concert in the local village.
My attempt to embed myselfin the community.
My sister was there watching,Domenica.
Surname?Howarth.
She isn't married.She lives with me.
What time did you arrive?Uh, 7:30.
Domenica wasn't feeling well,so we left as soon as we could.
We got home at 9:30,and went to bed around 10:30.
Did you have dinnerbefore the concert?
Yes, a light supper.
What did you eat?
Oh, I... I see.This is because of the...
An omelette, some green salad,and a glass of Chablis.
I really liked Dr Lorrimer.He was nice to me.
He showed a real interest.In what way?
I... I don't mean anything,you know...
He tried to teach me things.
Said I should get some A-levels -science -
and maybe go to a college.
No-one's ever said anythinglike that to me before.
Mum and Dad are great,
but they just want meto get married.
They don't like thatI'm working here
and they'll like it even less now.CHUCKLES
Do you live at home?
Yes. We have a farm.
What time did you leave workyesterday?
About six. The normal time.
And where did you go?
I cycled home.What time did you arrive there?
About 25 past.
It used to be quicker
because there was a shortcutthrough the grounds up to the lane,
but I'm not allowed togo that way any more
because of the building works.
And were you at homeall yesterday evening?
Yes. I don't go out midweek.
Had your mum made a nice dinner?
Yeah.BREATHES UNEVENLY
We had chicken and chips.
Come in, Mr Bradley.
We need your help.
You worked closely with Dr Lorrimer,I understand.
Can you tell us what he wasin the middle of doing last night?
He was running a test -electrophoresis...
..grouping a sample ofthe victim's blood
and the bloodfrom the suspected murder weapon.
I'm not sure why that's gone.That's OK.
How long had you worked with him?
18 months.
I'm not long qualified.This is my first job.
Did you enjoy working under him?
Yes. Yeah, he was brilliant.
I learned a lot from him.
He didn't suffer fools, but then,maybe that's how it should be.
How had he seemed recently?
Any particular worrieshe'd mentioned?
No.
What time did you leave the labyesterday?
Six. I went straight home.
We've just had our first baby.
Congratulations.Thanks.
My mother-in-law was there.She stayed on for some dinner.
Do you mind telling me what you ate?
Why?
It was one of those chicken curriesyou make using a packet, you know?
Uh...
I took my mother-in-lawto the bus stop
for the nine o'clock bus.
Got back quickly as I could.
The baby's got colic.
DETECTIVE: Two differenttread patterns. A mismatch.
That one's new to me.
It could be a Semperit.
We rarely see it.
Identify the brandsand start by ruling out any cars
belonging to the staff.
There's no reasonwhy they should park here
when there's a car parkat the front.
And talk to all the local garages.
They should have records, orat least remember the combinations.
Yes, sir.
Thoughts?
It seems like it has to besomeone he knows.
Why admit a stranger,or turn his back on a stranger?
The alternative is that someone
with keys to the lablet themselves in,
crept upstairs, and surprised him.
Or someone didn't even leave work,
just lay in wait, knowingthere'd be a murder weapon to hand.
If it was someone without keys,
they must have used Lorrimer's setto lock up after themselves,
then found a way to replace themon the body before DI Doyle arrived.
And they'd have to set the alarm.
It all points to someoneconnected to the lab.
Angela Foley?
DS Miskin.This is Chief Inspector Dalgliesh.
SIGHSI've been waiting hours.
I phoned the priest from the churchhe went to, apparently,
and he said he'll be over soon,so can I go?
We're sorry for your loss.We need to ask you some questions.
This is Stella Mawson.
Hi. The devil makes work,and all that.
I'd rather she stayed with me,if that's allowed.
At this stage, yes.What other stages do you anticipate?
I understand you work atHoggatt's Laboratory.
I'm Mr Howarth's PA.
What time did you arrive at workthis morning?
8:40, as usual.
Mr Howarth tells methat you know the combination
for the key safe in the office.It's my job to know.
We checked it this morning
to make surethe keys were still there.
What time was that?About ten minutes after I arrived.
You must see quite a lotof your cousin at work.
He was around, but we hadnothing to do with each other.
And I've got nothing to do withthe old man upstairs either.
He was my grandma's brother,that's it.
I told DI Doyle this.I didn't grow up in the family.
I grew up in local authority care.I've never considered him as family.
When was the last time you sawor spoke to Dr Lorrimer?
Yesterday. It was six o'clock.
I went up to the lab to tell him
Mr Howarth was leavingfor the night.
Did he say anything?No.
I've only ever hadone proper conversation with him.
Years ago, when my grandma died,she left all her money to him,
but she said he shouldleave it to me one day,
unless he'd had children.
Sons. Only the sons count.
So, I came hereto ask him if he'd consider
giving me a share of the moneystraight away,
and he said no.
So, now that Dr Lorrimer is dead,
it's your understandingthat you inherit.
How much?
A-About £30,000.
You'll have to ask the solicitor.
Probably more now.
I doubt crusty old Edmund'sbeen living it up.
We know what you're thinking.
I doubt that, Miss Mawson.
We were together all eveningand all night, so...
MAN IN BACKGROUND: Is that them?
Is that correct, Miss Foley?
Yes.
Incredibly disciplined.
But where's his heart?
Edmund was quite a scholar,wasn't he?
You must be very proud of him.
Oh, he is a scholar, sir.
Not many know that.
Did he have any good friends?
A girlfriend, perhaps?
Oh, not here, no.
There were that woman, of course,ever a rum do.
Which woman was that?
Oh, I don't know.On the telephone a few weeks back.
Edmund were in the bath,so I picked the thing up.
She started off straight away,
whispering that something wasgoing on.
The... the can had been burnedand she had the numbers.
And then these numbers, well,how am I supposed to remember them?
Do you mean something like a...a telephone number, or a date?
Oh, five or six numbers.
I remember the last two.
18 and 40.
First houses I lived in.
Can you rememberwhat her voice sounded like?
Did she have an accent?Was she young or old?
She sounded excited, I would say.
No.
Conspiratorial.She sounded conspiratorial.
Did she talk to Edmundabout the call?
I did. He...
he said nothing.
He were always secretive,even as a lad.
Did he ever have a placethat he liked to hide things,
inside the house or outside?
Things that he wished tokeep private?
This was my grandfather's desk.
He showed Edmund once.
I remember.
He was in love...
..with Domenica Howarth.
DOORBELL RINGS
Dalgliesh.
Is your sister in?
Why?
If this is about the thingshe had with Lorrimer,
then I promise you that...
I asked you if you knew of anything
which had been troubling himrecently.
Well, I didn't thinkit was relevant.
WOMAN: It's fine.
Let's get this over with.
Oh, Lord. Are those the drafts?
God, I always suspectedhe'd been practising.
The ones he did sendwent in the bin.
Sorry you've had to read those,his whinings.
More of a cri de coeur,wouldn't you say?
How did you first meet?We met in church, weirdly.
I'm a thoroughly lapsed Catholic,
but I was in what passesfor a town around here,
I saw Saint Benedict's,and he happened to be in there.
We made the connectionabout Max and the lab.
I made the mistake of imaginingthere was something interesting
beneath that repressed exterior.
There was a clumsy,desperate sort of need, I suppose,
but essentially, he was boring,
so after a few weeks, I finished it.
Where would you meet?
Is that relevant?
We both have cars.
His is particularly roomy.
God knows there are plenty ofsecluded spots around here.
Did anyone else knowabout the affair?
No. I'm certain of that.
And it wasn't an affair.
I had told my brother, of course.
I didn't want Lorrimer thinkinghe could wield power over him.
Max wasn't thrilled,but he knew it wouldn't last long.
Max was right about you.You are unexpected.
Not at all like the local coppers.
Nor are you, come to that.
Did you ever telephone Dr Lorrimerto make an arrangement?
No. I don't even know his number.
We'd arranged our next meetingwhen we saw each other.
Do the numbers 18 or 40have any significance for you,
particularly in relation to him?No. None.
Have any reason to go near the lablast night?
No.Where were you last night?
Listening to Maxfiddling at his concert.
We left around 9:00, 9:15.
Came home and went to bed.
I had a headache.
These are passionate,vehement letters.
His feelings for you were profound.
It's clear he'd never feltsuch emotion before
and was desperatefor the relationship to continue.
Did he try to see youor harass you in any way?
No.
You're judging me.
I don't judge people.
Do you want me to sayten Hail Marys?
COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYSIN BACKGROUND
The resultsof the background checks,
nothing on anyonewho works at the lab,
nothing on Stella Mawson.
I've asked them to check Domenica.
Did you believe her,that she never phoned him?
I think so.
But we can't rule her outas our mystery caller.
Priorities for tomorrow -
we set up a searchof all the lab's case files,
any case Lorrimer worked on,
which includes the numbers 18and 40.
Anything involving cansor canisters.
Cannabis?Yes.
I'll see the solicitor,
keep Mercer on the tyres,and we start checking alibis.
STELLA: 'What was it likegrowing up in care?'
We've never really talked about it.
ANGELA: There's not much to say.It's lonely.
I resented other childrencos they had mothers
I've never grown out of that...
SIGHS..which is pathetic.
I even resent Brenda on reception
cos she's so obviously lovedand she's got a proper home.
So have you now.
And soon, no-one will be able totake that away from us.
MUSIC AND CHATTERIN BACKGROUND
Another one, sir.
Not for me, thanks.
GIRL: Come on, throw it. That's it.
My dad's not in.
That's all right. My name'sDalgliesh. I'm a police officer.
It's your housekeeper Miss WillardI've come to...
You shouldn't talk to her.
She lies about everythingand she steals Daddy's alcohol.
Police have come for you.
Stealing sherry.
Yes, Dr Rollinson was hereall evening on Tuesday.
He arrived home at around 7:15.
And he didn't go out again?Even briefly?
Oh, no. No, no, no. No.
He would have told me,because of the children.
That's my primary role -watching them when he's called away.
William's a little angel.
Nell... Well, you saw.
School holidays are a trial,frankly,
but then,they're missing their mother,
so one has to show understanding.CHUCKLES
What happened to their mother?
Well, I'm afraid she ran off
with one of Dr Rollinson'scolleagues from the hospital.
He was devastated.
But then, to my mind,a woman like that,
she wasn't worthy of him.
There's a divorce under way,I believe. It's tragic, really.
Shameful.
Father Gregory at Saint Benedict's
mentioned that Dr Lorrimer sometimesdrove you to Sunday Mass.
Yes, sometimes.
The bus service is so poor.
He'd pick me up if I was waitingat the end of the lane, you know,
not that he was happy about it.
Ha! It was very muchFather Gregory's prompting.
I was once five minutes lateand he'd gone.
Did you ever telephone himto make the arrangement?
No, no, no. Nothing so organised.
I oughtn't to say this,
and of course I'm horrifiedby what's happened to him, but...
CAR APPROACHES OUTSIDE
..he was a very off-putting man.
He barely spoke a word to me.
Daddy! Daddy!
Hello! Hello, you two. Are you OK?
INDISTINCT CHATTER OUTSIDE

I'm supposed to beputting all these away,

Not really. Starring role, eh?
Yes.HE CHUCKLES
INDISTINCT CHATTER
DS MISKIN: Is the lead officeron that case available, or...?
INDISTINCT CHATTER,PHONE RINGS
Fine. OK.
I've just been with Major Hunt,Dr Lorrimer's solicitor.
I'm afraid I have to tell you
that your cousin didn't leave youany money in his will.
He left everything to his fatherwith the exception of £5,000,
which he left to someone else.
That can't be right. Uh...
That isn't right.
He changed his will only last week.
Why?
The solicitor wasn't certain,
but he said Dr Lorrimerseemed to disapprove
of Miss Foley's friendship with you.
ANGELA SIGHS
Who else?
You said he left moneyto someone else. Who?
Brenda Pridmore.
SHE SCOFFS
Is...?
SHE GROANS
Brenda Pridmore?The girl who works on reception?
SHE SCOFFSHow fucking predictable!
He said the money is forher education.
Interesting euphemism.
You can only have known her,what, five minutes?
Did either of you speak toEdmund Lorrimer about the money
or the will at any timeover the last few months?
No.
If it's true that he took againstyour relationship,
I'm wondering when he hadthe opportunity to do so.
Can you leave now, please?
I saw the sign outside.
Do you own this place or rent it?
Rent.
So, are you going toput in an offer?
Right.
We did.
It was rejected.Don't start.
We can't afford this place.We can't.
That's fine.
We'll find somewhere else.No.
You seem very settled here.
The solicitor tells meyou're a novelist.
And as a writer,
I should've thought the last thingyou'd want is to have to move.
What would you know about that?
You think, what, we found outthere was a new will in the offing
and tried to kill himbefore he made it,
but then, oh, dear, too late?
Will you go now, please?
Perhaps it's Brenda Pridmoreyou should be speaking to.
ANGELA SOBS
DS MISKIN:But it doesn't rule them out.
They might still haveanother possible motive.
Yes.
Tough on Angela, though.
Her family's last chanceto do something for her.
I know what it's like
when you realise no-one's thereto give you a break.
I can't believe Brenda is involved.
I spoke with her mother earlierand she confirmed her alibi.
She was with her parentsat the farm.
KNOCKING AT DOOR
DETECTIVE: Sir, you've just hada call from the yard.
Results of those testson the vomit are in.
Tuesday morning, Lorrimer,
he told me he'd just completedmy annual report
and he was going to hand it into Mr Howarth the next day.
He told me it was bad,
that he'd questioned my competenceabout everything.
I tried telling himthat I only made a mess of things
when he was watching.
He made me so nervous.
A report like that meansthey could get rid of me,
and no other lab would look at me.
I told my wife.
She said I should try againwith him, confront him.
I knew he was working late,
so after I dropped my mum-in-lawat the bus stop, I came back here.
What time was that exactly?
A few minutes after nine o'clock.
Mr Bradley,I'm going to ask you again.
Are you sure you don't want to calla lawyer?
HE SLURPS WATER
I rang the bell and he let me in.
We came up here.
I tried to plead with him...but he was in a foul mood.
He wouldn't even look at me.
And then he just suddenlystarted shouting,
telling me I wasa useless biologist.
A hindrance.
I was in the wrong job.
I felt...
Oh, I couldn't stand it.
Jesus.
I ran to the toilets. I was sick.
MAN: 'A Semperit, yes.I fitted the tyre myself.'
Are you sure?Mmm.
Positive?Yeah.
Have you got a phone?
There.
How long did you stay inthe toilets?
About ten minutes, I think.
I started to feel... angry.
It was all so bloody wrong.
And I decidedI was going to tell him.
So, I splash some water on my face,
came back here, but... he was dead.
And I... I panicked.
I thought someone was going tocome at me, so I ran.
I'm sorry.
I just ran out of the building.
And there was this carwith its headlights on
right there, right on me.
It's registered to your missus.No, no, no.
I've got to phone it in because...Listen.
Because I'm not the only onewho bloody knows,
and I'm not gettingdragged into this.
They're onto you,so this is your heads-up, right?
I'll wait half an hour,and that's it.

I suppose we should eat something.Where are you going?
It's going to be all right.What...?
This is our home.
Knowledge is power.
What do you mean?Where are you going?
Don't worry. And don't follow me.
Love you.
Uh, Stella...
'The car,could you tell what make it was?'
Could you tell who was driving?It was too bright.
I ran for the trees,
worked my way along the walland out of the gates.
I swear, I'm telling the truth.I didn't kill him.
Are you sure?
BRENDA: Goodnight, Mr Howarth.
Oh, no.
SHE SIGHS
DI Doyle, where is he?MAN: I don't think he's in, sir.
Sorry, sir. No-one seems to knowwhere he is.
