TÅ™i chlapi v chalupÄ› (Tři chlapi v chalupě)

- It's about the Grove Park murders. - 2005.

Two women, one man, killed in their homes.

- We never got him. - It looks like he's back.

Peter Cullen, have you talked to him ... our prime suspect.

- Peter, long time, no see. - We've got a third victim. Benjamin Williams.

What am I supposed to think about? You didn't say anything.

- I don't know anything. - I don't love you any more.

- 300 quid. - Thanks.

My name's Marcella Backland. You know my husband.

- Last night? - Yes.

The last time was four years ago, is that right?

When my daughter, Emma, she went missing at the shopping centre.

Three incidents of fugue prior to that.

The first, of course, was with little Juliet.

Yeah.

Last time, you were quite violent.

Do you have a feeling that that might have happened again?

Erm... I don't know. Maybe.

I can arrange a CAT scan, but we found nothing wrong the last time.

We think these episodes are triggered by extreme stress.

My husband left me.

That's-That's...

- That's been affecting me. - Mm-hm.

Sorry.

How long would you say you were in this state on this occasion?

Erm, the first time was an hour

and the second time, it was a bit longer. I was driving.

It's happened twice?

Yeah. The first one was closer to the break-up.

Mm.

Am I going to remember what I've done?

Doubtful.

Perhaps some fragments.

You didn't get memories back from the previous incidents, did you?

No.

Obviously, if you were to talk to someone, who ...

No. No, no. No-one can know.

No-one must know.

DTG Construction?

Hi. I'd like to speak to Grace Gibson, please.

One moment, please.

Grace Gibson's office. How may I help you?

Hi. Can I speak to Grace Gibson?

I'm sorry. She's in a meeting.

Who can I say called?

Erm, it's OK.

I'll call back. Thanks.

Hi. This is Grace Gibson. I'm unavailable right now.

Please leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Grace, you're late.

I hope you're on your way.

Still no answer.

Postpone the meeting. It's pointless without Grace.

Henry? - Yes. - Go over to our house.

Why? She's just late.

OK.

I'm gonna grab some air and I'll try her again.

Do you want to come along?

- To Grace's? - Mm.

Why would I do that?

I'm assuming you've got the keys, if nothing else.

Yeah, I know.

It's OK.

Grace?

Grace!

Grace, are you here?

- Is she here? - No.

Grace!

Hey, I'm just heading home.

No, I'm just about to check out, actually.

Er, one or two hours?

All right. Love you.

Shit!

Marcella Backland. Sorry I'm late.

You're meeting up with Peter Cullen, aren't you?

Why are you interested in Peter?

His name's come up as part of an investigation.

What investigation?

I can help you.

He trusts me.

I hope you don't trust him.

Why are you meeting Peter?

I'm studying a masters degree in Investigative Forensic Psychology.

I'm writing an essay on domestic violence that results in death.

So you know he's a very dangerous man.

Has he talked about the period of time before he killed his wife?

- We've talked a bit about his early years, yes. - Early crimes?

No. Has he committed any?

- Where'd you meet? - Sometimes in the open prison he's in,

- sometimes in town. - Alone?

- Him or me? - Him.

No, he's always got some bloke with him.

The guy who runs the bakery.

So, as far as you're aware, he's never left unattended?

Yeah. That's right.

- All right, Steve. - Hi.

Hey, Ashley, the Chief Super's looking for you.

- Mrs Gibson? - Yes.

DI Tim Williamson. You wanted to see me.

The man in reception said it had to be 24 hours before you could do anything.

Yeah, that is normal procedure, unless there's evidence a crime's been committed.

Well, she didn't take her wallet, keys or phone.

No clothes are missing. Her car's still in the drive.

What more do you need?

- When did you last see her? - Yesterday.

How did she seem?

Usual self.

- She wasn't depressed? Upset about something? - No.

- Was she on any medication? Taking drugs? - No.

- Has she gone missing before? - No, never.

Can you think of any reason why she might do so now, voluntarily?

I want you to start looking into this immediately.

That's not how this works.

You know who we are?

- It doesn't matter. - I think you'll find it does.

Well, I'll need to take this up with my boss.

Then, let's do that. I'll come with you.

OK.

- Are those from another date? - Yeah. I worked really hard for them.

- I bet you did. - If you're married and you cheat, you deserve it, OK?

Mm-hm.

Right. Forensic report from Benjamin Williams' flat.

Same plastic bag, tape, cable ties, the lot.

No DNA or fingerprints yet.

- Have we got yours? - Sorry? - Have we got your DNA on file?

Well, you attend crime scenes, Marcella. Get it done.

There was nothing on the CCTV from the shop downstairs.

Camera didn't pick up anyone going in or out of those flats.

There's nothing about anyone breaking in there.

Do they just let him in?

No, they don't have to let him. They just open a door.

He shoves them inside and then closes the door behind him.

No, the victims were found a long way from the front door.

No signs of struggle.

He's already there when they get home.

You're late.

A client called, so I popped in on the way.

All right.

Come here.

- Hi. - Hi.

- They're all there. - I wasn't counting.

Oh, yeah?

Did you get my message?

No.

My text about Grace Gibson?

- No. What? - She's gone missing.

- I thought I'd give Henry a ring, see if he wants to meet up. - OK.

You just got home.

I'm going to go lay down for a bit.

- I didn't really sleep last night. - Mm.

- Noisy hotel. - OK.

Just give me a nudge when the food's ready.

Yeah.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Tim?

No! Oh!

Hey!

- Oh! I did hear something about you being back. - It's good to see you.

- And you. How are you? And the kids? - I'm good.

Emma's 13, Edward's 11, both at boarding school,

- so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like. - That must be tough.

- Yeah, it was Jason's idea. - And Jason ... is he still at Gibsons'?

- Yeah, why? - I'm heading over there now.

Grace Gibson's gone missing.

She's only been gone one night, but we're looking into it.

- Do they know what happened? - Well, nothing, most likely.

I'm going to spend hours arriving at that conclusion.

Listen, we should get lunch or something. Catch up soon.

- Yeah. That'd be great. - Great seeing you. - You too.

Henry Gibson?

DI Tim Williamson.

Have you found her?

No, we haven't, but about your sister's disappearance ...

Half-sister. Same father.

I see. Your mother ... well, your stepmother ... said you were at Grace's house this morning.

Yeah. That's right.

Was there anything you saw there that gave you cause for concern?

Like what?

Object missing, something maybe had been moved,

signs of someone having been there?

No, no, but I'm not to her place very often,

so you should probably talk to Jason.

Backland. Our head of Legal. He was with me.

They're erm...

They're in a relationship.

- Really? - Yeah, but no-one here knows

and Sylvie wouldn't approve, so maybe keep that to yourself.

- But Grace told you? - Mm. Yeah.

We tell each other most things.

Well, then, I've come to the right person.

Has there been any news?

No.

Can I get you anything? Cup of tea?

No, thank you.

I ought to go back to work.

They can manage a day without you.

Do you think it has anything to do with the company?

Well, maybe she's been kidnapped. You do hear about that happening.

- We're not in South America. - All the same, we have assets.

I don't want to speculate. And neither should you.
