00:01:18Yeah. Singing. Yes.

00:01:22You don't hear much opera around here. Oh. It's Aida. I like to work to music. I find it helps.

00:01:31You've caught it. The colours. The light. Everything is light, isn't it? Light and darkness.

00:01:41Are you a painter? No. No, I wish I was. Although I do have an eye for what's here. I know its secrets.

00:01:48No constable painted it. No, I didn't. Further over there. Loom laid church with Big Alan beyond. I have a print of it.

00:01:57So what do you do? Furniture. I restore furniture with my father. Though I write as well.

00:02:03Oh, you're a writer. For the local paper. About the moor. It's very beautiful. It's very unforgiving.

00:02:13Likely music. Okay. Oh, so a Wandi. How I write the book, and I'm writing and telling you.

00:02:19Oh, I'm a very lured person. I have no idea. I have no idea. I have purposefully.

00:06:35Stephen?

00:06:36Oh, my God.

00:07:06Where are you going?

00:07:28Stephen.

00:07:31Where were you last night?

00:07:36Where were you last night?

00:08:06Where were you last night?

00:08:36Where were you last night?

00:09:06Where were you last night?

00:09:36Where were you last night?

00:10:06Where were you last night?

00:10:08Did you say you met her yesterday?

00:10:10She was painting, drawing.

00:10:12Did you talk to her?

00:10:13Playing opera.

00:10:15What did you talk about?

00:10:17About the moor, mostly.

00:10:19It was her first time up here.

00:10:20I don't talk to her, I don't talk to anyone usually.

00:10:22I hardly ever try to avoid people.

00:10:24Landscapes, said she was a landscape painter, laughed, said she was old-fashioned.

00:10:35She showed me some photographs, said she was old-fashioned.

00:10:47She showed me some photographs of her paintings, glowed with colour, sort of colours most people

00:10:57never see.

00:10:57And some bloody madman coming up on the moor, and some bloody madman coming up on the moor and doing a vile thing like this.

00:11:01Staying local, was she?

00:11:03I don't know, I didn't ask.

00:11:05You weren't interested.

00:11:06What's that supposed to mean?

00:11:10You might have invited for a quiet drink, is she?

00:11:12I'm married.

00:11:14You wouldn't be the first married man to invite a pretty girl for a quiet drink.

00:11:17I was born here, everybody knows me.

00:11:18Where would I take a pretty girl for a quiet drink?

00:11:22You're up early this morning.

00:11:24I don't sleep much.

00:11:26No?

00:11:27Two, three hours a night, no more.

00:11:28Often out here at that time?

00:11:30The best time, Dawn.

00:11:32People sleep their lives away.

00:11:35Cold up here early?

00:11:37Not if you keep moving, not if you're fit.

00:11:40You must know this place well.

00:11:42Well enough.

00:11:42What's that smile for?

00:11:45They say my wife's a moor widow.

00:11:46How do you get on?

00:11:49Excuse me?

00:11:50You and your wife.

00:11:53That's what you get for being public spirited?

00:11:54Simple question.

00:11:56You're acting as if you think I did it.

00:11:58Wouldn't be the first murderer to lead the police to a body?

00:12:00They get some sort of sick satisfaction from it.

00:12:03Look, I could never kill anything on the moor.

00:12:05This place is life.

00:12:06It's my life.

00:12:06Well, there's death here, but it's, it's, it's a natural death.

00:12:12Life through death.

00:12:13The natural order of events.

00:12:15Not cruel, senseless killing.

00:12:18That belongs to the cities.

00:12:19No, I don't know.

00:12:22Who's there?

00:13:01Dad have phoned.

00:13:02Why aren't you at work?

00:13:04Are you all right, Stephen?

00:13:08Cut her hair off.

00:13:13What?

00:13:14She's hacked it off one side.

00:13:16What are you talking about?

00:13:18Stephen, what's happening?

00:13:23I found a dead girl on the moor. Murdered.

00:13:27Murdered?

00:13:30I've been up there all this time with the police.

00:13:32It got quite difficult.

00:13:35What do you mean, difficult?

00:13:38One of them questioned me. Sour-faced bastard. Suspected me.

00:13:41But you found her.

00:13:45I was with her on the moor yesterday.

00:13:48She was a painter.

00:13:50She had her.

00:13:57Dadda.

00:14:00Dada? Dada?

00:14:17Feeling bad?

00:14:20It's just one of those days.

00:14:23Have you taken something?

00:14:25Those new pills do me in.

00:14:30Are they stronger?

00:14:32I don't know.

00:14:34I don't know nothing.

00:14:36They don't tell you nothing.

00:14:38Bloody psychiatrists.

00:14:41I bloody hate them.

00:14:45I was all right till your mother left me.

00:14:50I've still got the note she left.

00:14:53And what was left of the housekeeping?

00:15:02She was so proper.

00:15:07So considerate.

00:15:09I didn't get some sleep.

00:15:17We got work to do.

00:15:21You're late.

00:15:22What sort of time is this?

00:15:24What sort of time is this?

00:15:25What sort of time is this?

00:15:26What sort of time is this?

00:15:29It's like a feline میں thingy,

00:15:36geometry and democracy.

00:15:38It's my age.

00:15:39Whoa they say to my nephew.

00:15:40Let's find a place for him.

00:15:42They're going to be a little sec.

00:15:44Everyone knows mine is written tournaments on the show.

00:15:45It's right here.

00:15:47Halfway I want I want you to help.

00:15:49As farme's the next mission is the wreck of Elpidus.

00:15:51A woman's been murdered on the moor.

00:16:08I found her.

00:16:12Good God.

00:16:16When?

00:16:17Last night.

00:16:18Local girl.

00:16:22London.

00:16:24What's it all coming to?

00:16:26All violence.

00:16:28Bloody violence.

00:16:29Pointless violence.

00:16:32It never was like this.

00:16:35People don't give a damn about each other nowadays.

00:16:39You can drop dead in the street then.

00:16:41Walk over you.

00:16:45Better off out of it.

00:16:46Don't talk like that.

00:16:48I died 20 years ago.

00:17:04Don't do that.

00:17:06You can crack Brazil nuts in that beak.

00:17:09I'm sorry, I didn't...

00:17:10It seems friendly, but you can be a real bugger.

00:17:14Didn't I see you last night?

00:17:17Last night?

00:17:18Looking at the kittens.

00:17:20Have you saw them?

00:17:20They're not in the window.

00:17:22No.

00:17:23They're out the back.

00:17:25Do you want to see them?

00:17:25I wanted a ginger kitten.

00:17:31They're not exactly ginger.

00:17:33Attractive, aren't they?

00:17:36What happened to Mr. Bale?

00:17:38He's in hospital.

00:17:39I'm his nephew.

00:17:41I'm looking after things for him.

00:17:44They're fine, healthy kittens.

00:17:48Don't you want to see them?

00:17:49I'll leave the door open.

00:18:00Company.

00:18:01What?

00:18:03You're getting a kitten for company.

00:18:05In a way, I suppose.

00:18:16I'm married.

00:18:19Happily?

00:18:21Very.

00:18:21Stephen Warby was in last night.

00:18:45He was in.

00:18:47What time?

00:18:48Early.

00:18:50What do you call early?

00:18:52Stayed on a bit.

00:18:54Seven?

00:18:55Eight?

00:18:56Maybe.

00:18:58What?

00:18:59We had a coach party and there were a lot of people here.

00:19:04What time did he say he was in?

00:19:06Are you being funny?

00:19:09You're not from around here, are you?

00:19:11What's that got to do with it?

00:19:13Bloody rude.

00:19:15We don't like rudeness.

00:19:16You keep that from where you come from.

00:19:18Look here.

00:19:19You just listen.

00:19:19Stephen Warby is a much respected man round here.

00:19:23His family have lived here for generations.

00:19:26He knows them more better than any living man.

00:19:30He's the gentlest man I know.

00:19:31He wouldn't trip on a bloody ant.

00:19:33Anyone with half a brain could see that, and you're trying to tie him in with this dreadful business.

00:19:39I'm conducting a murder inquiry.

00:19:42I think my questions are best to be answered tomorrow morning at the station, nine o'clock.

00:19:47Bees are appearing in large numbers due most probably to the exceptional mildness of the past winter.

00:20:06A few, however, will escape the predatory beaks of our Vangmoor songsters.

00:20:13Let us hope that this year we shall see an increase in the butterfly population, notably that rare member of the family, Lycanidae, known as the Foynland Blue.

00:20:33Next week, I shall be writing about the moorland walks and suggesting an itinerary that takes in the ever-attractive Taur Foyn.

00:20:47I shall be writing about the moorland walks and suggesting an itinerary that takes in the past winter.

00:21:17I shall be writing about the moorland walkway.

00:21:47I shall be writing about the moorland walkway.

00:21:49I shall be writing about the moorland walkway.

00:21:53I shall be writing about the moorland walkway.

00:21:57Excuse me.

00:22:11Mr Warby?

00:22:13Yes?

00:22:15I'm from Three Towns Echo.

00:22:19Oh, you'll want Stephen, my son?

00:22:23I don't know.

00:22:24They didn't say.

00:22:25I'll get him for you.

00:22:27I'll get him for you.

00:22:37Stephen!

00:22:39Some woman says she's from a paper.

00:22:41Which paper?

00:22:53Which paper?

00:22:55The Echo.

00:22:56The Echo.

00:22:57I don't know you.

00:22:59You write the voice of Vangmoor.

00:23:01You're new?

00:23:02Too much.

00:23:03From London.

00:23:04Used to be with The Independent.

00:23:05They want me to interview you about finding the girl.

00:23:17I'm going to write it myself.

00:23:19Have you talked to them about it?

00:23:22Not yet, no, but...

00:23:25They sent me.

00:23:29And they didn't say.

00:23:33This is rather embarrassing.

00:23:37I'm sorry.

00:23:39I thought they would have...

00:23:41I'll phone.

00:23:43Please.

00:23:53But, John...

00:23:54How long is this going to take?

00:23:55Yeah, it's me.

00:23:56Er...

00:23:57Well, I'll be honest with the work.

00:23:58That and Shay's long.

00:23:59Had my promise for delivery last Thursday.

00:24:02Tell her to bug her off.

00:24:08You know, I've never written anything like this before.

00:24:10They probably don't think I can.

00:24:14Or write it for somebody else.

00:24:15I can't do that.

00:24:16Why not?

00:24:17Because it isn't...

00:24:24They want you to do it.

00:24:26I'm sorry.

00:24:29Why don't we go out on the moor?

00:24:32Stop raining.

00:24:34Get the feel of the place.

00:24:38Atmosphere.

00:24:41Yeah.

00:24:43Good idea.

00:24:45Why not?

00:24:46Don't be all bloody dead.

00:24:48We got a business to run here, son.

00:25:02We got a business to run here.

00:25:03We got business to drive.

00:25:04We got a business to run.

00:25:05We got a business to run by...

00:25:06We'll be ready to run.

00:25:07Who's going to be at the house?

00:25:08There's no...

00:25:09We're getting out of the house.

00:25:10What's going to be at the house?

00:25:13We're going to be right now.

00:25:15The house is going to be at the house.

00:25:17We've got a business to run and get up.

00:25:20We've got nothing to do.

00:25:21We've got nothing to do.

00:25:23I can't work really well.

00:25:25All right, well here you come.

00:25:56You know, when I was a boy, I used to imagine that the Moor belonged to me.

00:26:03I was the master of the Moor.

00:26:06It was after my mother left. I suppose Freud would say I was compensating for her loss. I don't know.

00:26:13I wish it hadn't had to be you who found the body.

00:26:17So do I.

00:26:17OK.

00:26:25You're back?

00:26:27Yes.

00:26:29What for?

00:26:31Uh, more cat food.

00:26:34You can't.

00:26:35No. No, it's just that I was passing and I... I thought I won't be shopping again to...

00:26:45How many tins?

00:26:47What?

00:26:48Cat food.

00:26:49What?

00:27:05What?

00:27:07What?

00:27:07I'm 25.

00:27:30I was married in church.

00:27:37I've lived with my husband four years, so I must be married.

00:27:53I have no children, I never shall have, but I'm waiting, waiting.

00:28:06For what I don't quite know, I really must go now.

00:28:19What is it?

00:28:31What is it?

00:28:46It had silver buckles on her boots.

00:28:51Were you very shocked when you found her?

00:28:56It was her eyes.

00:28:57They weren't eyes.

00:28:58They were like...

00:28:59They were like stones.

00:29:03I haven't seen a dead body before.

00:29:06Nor had I.

00:29:09How did it feel?

00:29:12I'm sorry, you must think I'm awful.

00:29:16I didn't feel anything.

00:29:18It was like being part of a dream.

00:29:22No, not a dream.

00:29:25It's like being in that limbo between sleeping and waking when you're not sure if you're

00:29:30actually seeing what you're seeing.

00:29:35So when did you know that what you were seeing was real?

00:29:38Real?

00:29:39Yeah.

00:29:42I remember reading once that something isn't real until it passes through the imagination.

00:29:48What do you mean?

00:29:49What are you trying to say?

00:29:53You know, reality is a funny thing.

00:29:55It plays games.

00:29:57It deceives.

00:29:58It corrupts.

00:30:04I'm sorry.

00:30:05It's bloody nonsense.

00:30:06No, it's not.

00:30:07Go on.

00:30:10I had a premonition when I was a boy.

00:30:15I knew that one day I'd find a body on the moor.

00:30:19And there would be a second and a third.

00:30:39Who is he?

00:30:44I don't know.

00:30:50What's the matter?

00:30:53Steven?

00:30:55Steven, you do know him?

00:30:57No.

00:31:01He's waiting for you.

00:31:04Maybe he's waiting for you.

00:31:05What do you mean?

00:31:10He's gone.

00:31:14Well, I think we should tell the police.

00:31:16Tell them what?

00:31:17That there was a strange man on the moor.

00:31:22There was something about him.

00:31:25Something you're not telling me.

00:31:35I've got something for you.

00:31:48You mustn't go ruining it with cups of hot tea.

00:31:56Oh, it's beautiful.

00:31:58There's one repair.

00:32:00Bet you can't find it.

00:32:01They were real craftsmen in those days.

00:32:06Now they couldn't tell you how to sharpen a tizzle properly.

00:32:17Steven upstairs.

00:32:19He's out.

00:32:21Collecting something.

00:32:23On the moor.

00:32:25What do you think?

00:32:27With a woman.

00:32:29A woman?

00:32:31A reporter.

00:32:33Which paper?

00:32:34His own paper.

00:32:36I thought he was going to write it himself.

00:32:39He's too soft.

00:32:41He should have told them.

00:32:43Insisted.

00:32:45He's got to be careful what he says.

00:32:47Why?

00:32:49Didn't he tell you?

00:32:51Tell me what?

00:32:53The police.

00:32:54They suspect him.

00:32:56No, it's a fact.

00:32:58Bloody rubbish.

00:33:02Steven?

00:33:06This is very safe.

00:33:07Ted says he saw you out at the old pony leaving today.

00:33:25Indeed.

00:33:28With a woman.

00:33:32Thought it was Lynn.

00:33:34But then she don't go on the moor, does she?

00:33:38That's right.

00:33:43Must have got salt.

00:33:45Bloody rain.

00:33:47It was raining.

00:33:48No.

00:33:49No.

00:33:54Who was she then?

00:33:57Good eggs, please.

00:34:09That was your first time, wasn't it?

00:34:12No.

00:34:18Yes.

00:34:23He's never made love to you?

00:34:26We tried once.

00:34:29What happened?

00:34:31We kissed briefly.

00:34:35He tried.

00:34:38He did try.

00:34:44He...

00:34:45He isn't impotent.

00:34:48He...

00:34:48Now...

00:34:52He can't bear me to touch him.

00:34:56He can't bear to touch me.

00:35:00Before we were married, I thought there was something wrong.

00:35:03We kissed and cuddled.

00:35:07I thought that when we were married, it...

00:35:12I don't understand.

00:35:19I've never understood.

00:35:24Don't ask me what I'm gonna do.

00:35:27I don't know.

00:35:31I think we're gonna love each other, Lynne.

00:35:34I can never leave Stephen.

00:35:35I don't know.

00:35:36I don't know.

00:37:09It's ridiculous.

00:37:10What is?

00:37:11Why don't you leave him alone?

00:37:13A girl has been killed, Mrs. Walby. Murdered.

00:37:17The husband was the last person to see her alive. The first to see her dead. He hasn't answered all my questions to my satisfaction until he does so.

00:37:25He told you where he was. At the pub.

00:37:27When she was killed. The landlord said he left quite early. How early is quite early?

00:37:33He told you.

00:37:35And he came home? That's right.

00:37:37Are you sure?

00:37:39Don't you believe anything anyone says?

00:37:41That depends.

00:37:42On what?

00:37:43Their eyes.

00:37:45What?

00:37:47Let's go.

00:37:51Let's go.

00:37:53Let's go.

00:40:25Who are you?

00:40:31Who are you?

00:40:37Who are you?

00:41:07Who are you?

00:41:37Who are you?

00:42:07Who are you?

00:42:37Who are you?

00:43:06Who are you?

00:43:36Who are you?

00:44:06Who are you?

00:44:36Who are you?

00:44:37So I took it to the...

00:44:39And we were coming back and we saw this man in the distance and she said we should report

00:44:48it.

00:44:48Why didn't you?

00:44:49Why didn't you?

00:44:50Why didn't you?

00:44:51Why didn't you?

00:44:53Why didn't you?

00:44:55Why didn't you?

00:44:56Why didn't you?

00:44:57So I went back late evening and to see, to try and... and I saw the car for the first time.

00:45:00You went to look for the man?

00:45:01You went to look for the man?

00:45:09I thought I thought I would check it out again and I thought I would check it out again this morning.

00:45:17There's a young woman was a young woman.

00:45:18There was a young woman was a woman.

00:45:20There's a young woman missing.

00:45:21From Jackley?

00:45:22Married woman?

00:45:25Her husband rang us, we're looking for her.

00:45:26Her husband rang us. We're looking for her.

00:45:29She was a botanist.

00:45:33How did you know?

00:45:35The book in the car, it's the...

00:45:38It's a botanist's bible for moreland plants and flowers.

00:45:42She was probably looking for orchids.

00:45:44Orchids?

00:45:46Spiranthus romansofiana.

00:45:48I didn't know that...

00:45:49Wild orchids. The common name is...

00:45:54What?

00:45:57Ladies' tresses.

00:46:01They're very rare.

00:46:06But what makes you think that...

00:46:08The book was marked. One of the pages was marked.

00:46:13I looked in the car. The door was unlocked.

00:46:17These orchids, you know where they are?

00:46:21Know where they are?

00:46:24Mr. Wolby?

00:46:34Mr. Wolby?

00:46:35What?

00:46:36The orchids on the moor. Can you take us to them?

00:46:41Yes.

00:46:42Yes, I can...

00:46:43The orchids on the moor!

00:46:47The orchids on the moor!

00:46:48That a José de Bidena!

00:46:50The orchids on the moor!

00:46:51That a crown!

00:46:56The orchids on the moor!

00:49:00Yes, I'm going to break down.

00:49:02I'm going to break down.

00:49:04I'm going to break down.

00:49:06I can't.

00:49:07I can't.

00:49:30I can't.

00:50:00You know, when I was a boy, I used to imagine that the Moor belonged to me, that I was the

00:50:28master of the Moor.

00:50:29You've caught it, the colours, everything is light, isn't it?

00:50:34Light and darkness.

00:50:35What do you do?

00:50:36I restore furniture with my father.

00:50:38I found a dead girl on the Moor, murdered.

00:50:41Better off out of it.

00:50:43Don't talk like that.

00:50:45I died 20 years ago.

00:50:46I was all right until your mother left me.

00:50:50One of them questioned me.

00:50:52He was a sour-faced bastard.

00:50:54You might invite her for a quiet drink, isn't it?

00:50:56You're acting as if you think I did it.

00:50:58You wouldn't be the first married man to invite a pretty girl for a quiet drink.

00:51:01You're getting a kitten for company.

00:51:02They say my wife's a Moor widow.

00:51:03I'm from Three Towns Echo.

00:51:04Who is he?

00:51:05I don't know.

00:51:06Steven, you do know him.

00:51:07Who are you?

00:51:08Who are you?

00:51:09Who are you?

00:51:10Bastard!

00:51:11That was your first time, wasn't it?

00:51:12Yes.

00:51:13He's never made love to you.

00:51:14He did try.

00:51:15Now he can't bear me to touch him.

00:51:16There's a young woman missing.

00:51:17Her husband rang us.

00:51:18We're looking for her.

00:51:19I had a premonition when I was a boy.

00:51:34I knew one day I'd find a body on the Moor.

00:51:44on the moor. And then a second and a third.

00:52:14You knew Mrs. Morgan, didn't you?

00:52:21Mrs. Anne Morgan?

00:52:26I contacted her husband.

00:52:30They said you went to the house last February,

00:52:35and then again late March, when he wasn't there.

00:52:44I think you say you knew her when you saw the body.

00:52:46I met her twice, briefly.

00:52:49What for?

00:52:51I was writing an article for the Echo on Ling.

00:52:54What?

00:52:56Heather.

00:52:57There's another name for Heather, it's Morland Heather.

00:52:59I was preparing an article on Morland Heather, she was a botanist.

00:53:02Did you phone for an appointment?

00:53:04I wrote, she phoned back.

00:53:06Both times?

00:53:08Yes.

00:53:09Her husband said you just turned up.

00:53:11The second time.

00:53:15His wife told him you just arrived.

00:53:19I was passing, I had the article on me, I thought I'd drop it in.

00:53:22And?

00:53:23She invited me in, we had coffee, we talked.

00:53:2510, 15 minutes, no more.

00:53:27Your neck?

00:53:29That scratch?

00:53:33Who are you?

00:53:34Who are you?

00:53:36I was in a wood.

00:53:40Some brambles.

00:53:41Oh, yes.

00:53:44This strange man on the moor.

00:53:47Who you didn't report to.

00:53:48I know we said this afternoon, but I couldn't...

00:53:59Mrs Walby.

00:54:03Your order.

00:54:04It won't be ready till tomorrow.

00:54:07Come on, let's go do some shopping tomorrow.

00:54:09You have to be careful.

00:54:11I know, it's just...

00:54:13I know.

00:54:20Are you sleeping?

00:54:23Mr Walby?

00:54:27Mr Walby?

00:54:28You've asked me the same damn silly questions every time I come.

00:54:32I need to know.

00:54:34It's part of the profile of your illness.

00:54:36What does that mean?

00:54:37I mean...

00:54:40What does that mean?

00:54:43Can you speak simple English?

00:54:46Have you been sleeping?

00:54:48I told you last time.

00:54:50Last month.

00:54:51Things might have changed.

00:54:52They haven't.

00:54:56These don't change, do they?

00:55:00I mean...

00:55:02Do they?

00:55:03Much.

00:55:04You keep going.

00:55:08Something keeps you going.

00:55:11I don't know what.

00:55:13Certainly not hope.

00:55:17Perhaps it's a deep down sense of...

00:55:20Anger.

00:55:22Why you?

00:55:24Why bloody you?

00:55:29At first you blame all sorts of things.

00:55:32People.

00:55:36Mostly people.

00:55:39And then slowly you realise...

00:55:42It's you.

00:55:45It's yourself.

00:55:48Inside you.

00:55:51And there's no way you're going to get it outside.

00:55:53Except...

00:55:56Those bloody pills you prescribe me make me...

00:56:03What, Mr. Walby?

00:56:06No way you can get it out except...

00:56:10There is within us all a terrible violence.

00:56:15There is within us all a terrible violence.

00:56:29This is more than just sex, isn't it?

00:56:32It is for me.

00:56:33It is for me.

00:56:35I think...

00:56:37It is for you, too.

00:56:43I want to go out with you.

00:56:47Be seen with you.

00:56:50Be with you.

00:56:52And you know that isn't possible.

00:56:53Oh, Nick.

00:57:07Do you know the only good thing to come out of this place?

00:57:10No.

00:57:12The road to London.

00:57:14Jam sandwiches.

00:57:24Situations like this.

00:57:26Always call for jam sandwiches.

00:57:27It's time to respond.

00:57:29Then you'll have to go out with you.

00:57:31Let's go.

00:57:33That's what happens.

00:57:35It's time with cheese.

01:04:38Will you do?

01:04:39I don't

01:05:15He knows it so well

01:05:17He can find his way about it

01:05:19In the dark

01:05:20Was it just coincidence

01:05:24That you were associated

01:05:25With both deaths?

01:05:27Found the first body

01:05:28Led us to the second

01:05:29I don't like coincidence

01:05:30I am a deeply suspicious man

01:05:33Mr. Warby

01:05:34Stephen?

01:05:42Stephen?

01:05:48Oh

01:05:49Sorry, I didn't

01:05:51Would you prefer to be on your own?

01:05:54No

01:05:54No, please

01:05:55Would you like a

01:05:57Oh, no thanks

01:05:59Not at the moment

01:06:00Well

01:06:03Can't go on hiding my hair

01:06:06For the rest of my life

01:06:12You did that deliberately

01:06:13Didn't you?

01:06:14Yeah

01:06:14Why?

01:06:16To show you that I think

01:06:17They're mad to even suspect you

01:06:19How do you know?

01:06:21Press association

01:06:22Said there was a man

01:06:25Helping police

01:06:25With their inquiries

01:06:26Well, not my name though

01:06:27Oh, no

01:06:28I never do

01:06:30Not at this stage

01:06:30You seem to know

01:06:32All about it

01:06:32I've covered murders

01:06:34Several

01:06:36In London

01:06:38So how do you know

01:06:40It was me?

01:06:41I have my contacts

01:06:42Even here

01:06:44I have to be very careful

01:06:48Of libel

01:06:48You could sue them

01:06:51All I want is for them

01:06:53To leave me alone

01:06:53Let me get you a drink

01:06:56Brandy, is it?

01:07:05Stephen Walby's

01:07:06One of the most respected

01:07:07Men round here

01:07:08I seem to have heard

01:07:10That before

01:07:10I've known him

01:07:12Since he was a boy

01:07:14His wife?

01:07:17What?

01:07:18You must know his wife

01:07:19She went to school

01:07:21With my daughter

01:07:22She has long blonde hair

01:07:25Oh, spare me

01:07:27The Sunday supplement psychology

01:07:29She never goes on the moor

01:07:31She never goes on the moor

01:07:31The barman at the pub told me

01:07:33Isn't that interesting?

01:07:36A lot of people

01:07:37Don't like the moor

01:07:38But they go there

01:07:39They cross it

01:07:40They drive across it

01:07:41They have to

01:07:42To get to places

01:07:43She doesn't

01:07:44She doesn't

01:07:45She never goes there

01:07:47For both of them

01:07:49Her and her husband

01:07:51For opposite reasons

01:07:53The moor is an obsession

01:07:54I find that very interesting

01:07:58You know substantial evidence

01:08:01To implicate Stephen Walby

01:08:03In these murders

01:08:04No

01:08:05You've questioned him

01:08:07Three times now

01:08:08Officially

01:08:09Last time

01:08:10In the station

01:08:10Yes

01:08:12Has he said anything

01:08:13Admitted to anything

01:08:14That could be used as evidence

01:08:16He wants to tell

01:08:17Someone

01:08:21He has to tell someone

01:08:25I knew Mansiple

01:08:27In London

01:08:29Well, not personally

01:08:31Knew about him

01:08:34What about him?

01:08:38He nearly killed another policeman

01:08:40Flying squad sergeant

01:08:43Found him with his wife

01:08:45No charges were ever brought

01:08:50He was kept in the family

01:08:53But that's why he's here

01:08:56That was part of the deal

01:08:59He was a career policeman

01:09:03Could have gone all the way

01:09:04And now there'll be no promotion

01:09:07For him beyond his rank

01:09:08Dead job

01:09:11And that's why he's such a bastard

01:09:16That's why you've got to be

01:09:19Very careful of him

01:09:20He's dangerous

01:09:22They need

01:09:23To be caught

01:09:25He's seductive

01:09:27How else can they tell the world

01:09:29What they've done?

01:09:32Seductive

01:09:33It's ridiculous

01:09:36Go on

01:09:38No

01:09:42Please

01:09:44It isn't guilt

01:09:46That makes them confess

01:09:48It's a lust

01:09:51For fame

01:09:54Well, when he was

01:09:56When he was talking to me

01:09:59The way he talked

01:10:00Moved about me

01:10:03Not looking at me

01:10:05And his voice

01:10:06It was almost as if

01:10:08It'll do you good

01:10:11To talk about it

01:10:12And you don't normally

01:10:14Sit in a pub

01:10:15And drink brandies

01:10:16By yourself, do you?

01:10:20It was almost as if

01:10:21I had done it

01:10:21Killed those women

01:10:25Their nature's errors

01:10:26And was sick with joy

01:10:28Killed those women

01:10:58He sort of

01:11:19Lives inside

01:11:21Inside himself

01:11:23His head

01:11:23It's very hard to reach

01:11:27Sometimes

01:11:28Most of the time

01:11:29Most of the time

01:11:32He spends reading

01:11:33It's very well read

01:11:36Also

01:11:37What's

01:11:37Poetry

01:11:38Philosophy

01:11:39Loves history

01:11:40He's

01:11:46He's got some strange books

01:11:48Puts some

01:11:52Different covers on them

01:11:53What do you mean?

01:11:54Sometimes he

01:11:57He takes the

01:11:58Paper cover

01:12:00Dust jackets

01:12:01From one book

01:12:04And puts it on another

01:12:06Yeah?

01:12:10What sort of books?

01:12:13Already had two

01:12:14I'll get fat

01:12:15Won't eat my supper

01:12:16I've got some tickets

01:12:20For the theatre

01:12:21Two weeks' time

01:12:23In Plymouth

01:12:24I don't suppose you could

01:12:27I wish I could

01:12:28I wish I could

01:12:28I really do Nick

01:12:30I've never been to the theatre

01:12:32Don't you have any friends outside?

01:12:35I mean isn't there someone

01:12:36You could say you were going to

01:12:37I don't really know anyone

01:12:38Outside the village

01:12:39Not really

01:12:40I mean

01:12:43What could I say?

01:12:45How

01:12:45What time is it?

01:12:49Well

01:12:49It starts at 7.30

01:12:50I thought we could have a drink

01:12:52And then go for a meal

01:12:53I can't

01:12:54You know I can't

01:12:56You work here or not?

01:13:10I've been with the police

01:13:11Okay

01:13:12There's been another murder

01:13:14What?

01:13:17You didn't know

01:13:17Have me out of here

01:13:19Try to get this bloody thing finished

01:13:22Where was it?

01:13:26A woman from Jackley

01:13:28You can't help I do

01:13:30You didn't find this one

01:13:35I helped them find it

01:13:38You bloody fool!

01:13:44Christ boy

01:13:45Don't you use the brain you got

01:13:47I think you're frightened of him

01:13:50Stephen?

01:13:53Can't touch him

01:13:54Can't wear make-up

01:13:55Can't go to bed with that

01:13:56In a nightdress

01:13:57Do anything

01:13:58Go anywhere

01:13:59Can't laugh

01:13:59It's not like that

01:14:02If you could

01:14:03You'd leave

01:14:04Wouldn't you?

01:14:06I know you would

01:14:06Just go

01:14:08Get away from all this

01:14:11Bloody nonsense

01:14:12Get away from him

01:14:13I can read it in your eyes

01:14:16When you laugh

01:14:18Out in the moors

01:14:19All hours

01:14:21All hours

01:14:21Day and night

01:14:22What do you think they're going to think?

01:14:29Who was it you talked to?

01:14:32Primborn?

01:14:33No

01:14:33Who?

01:14:35A man called Mansiple

01:14:36He's a bloody madman

01:14:38From London

01:14:41They hate his guts

01:14:42He'll do you over

01:14:45I have done nothing

01:14:47To crack help

01:14:47What was I supposed to do?

01:14:50Leave that body on the moor?

01:14:51Just walk away?

01:14:52Ignored it?

01:14:52Yes!

01:14:54Yes!

01:14:56That's exactly what I'd have bloody done

01:14:58How long are you going to let us go on, Lynn?

01:14:59Ten years, twenty

01:15:00Till you're old and beaten down by it

01:15:02Living a life of quiet desperation

01:15:04That's part of the poem

01:15:05I wonder if Stephen's read that

01:15:07Yeah, I know

01:15:08You've got to go

01:15:09Sorry

01:15:10I love you, Lynn

01:15:17I can't just change

01:15:24Overnight

01:15:26It's not that simple

01:15:27I'm not leaving here

01:15:31Until you leave with me

01:15:34I had to report it

01:15:37Boy

01:15:38Why?

01:15:42You're always talking to me about responsibility

01:15:44Here, at work, with Lynn

01:15:46Always banging on

01:15:48Oh, for Christ's sake, Daddy

01:15:50You can't live inside your head

01:15:52In your skull the way you do

01:15:54You have to relate to people

01:15:56Why?

01:16:01They only hurt you

01:16:02Destroy you

01:16:04They tear you to bloody pieces

01:16:07I love you

01:16:10You're my father and my mother

01:16:12You're a wise man

01:16:14Deep down, a decent, caring man

01:16:17Why do you show people this dreadful side of yourself?

01:16:20I've forgotten what it's like to be happy

01:16:26My life has no meaning

01:16:30No value

01:16:33I'm tired, I'm tired, boy

01:16:36So tired

01:16:39Physically, mentally

01:16:42Spiritually

01:16:44When I'm ill, I face each day with dread

01:16:50When I'm well, I

01:16:53I'm just waiting

01:16:55For the beast

01:16:58To bite again

01:17:00Stay away from the moors, Stephen

01:17:07I'm just waiting for you

01:17:08I'm just waiting for you
