to tell me. Come back tomorrow. Blah, blah, blah.

Jamie... Something's happened. He never behaves like this.
10
60040
7960
01:08
He's obsessed with his phone.
11
68000
1240
01:09
He always has it charged. He never turns it off.
12
69240

2680
01:24
I'm afraid you're not.... It's simply not the way we work.
16

Nothing. I know. This is not one of those cases.

Jamie left for work this morning at eight o'clock -
22
113640
1800
01:56
as usual. He took our son Pip to nursery. As usual
23
116343
3937
02:00
and went to work. He has an office down on the seafront,
24
120280
3760
02:04
he's an accountant. He set it up two years ago.
25
124040
2749
02:08
According to his PA he ran in at quarter to nine,
26
128600
2680
02:11
took something from his office and then left again.
27
131280
2402
02:14
I've tried calling. His phone goes straight to voicemail.
28
134040
3920
02:19
He had three meetings this morning with important clients
29
139178
3062
02:22
and he's blown them off. He's not at home,
30
142240
2600
02:24
he's not at work, his friends haven't seen him.
31
144840
2040
02:28
I've tried calling hospitals.
32
148040
1797
02:31
I know what you think and I'm trying not to panic, but I am concerned.
33
151440
7928
02:39
How old's your son Ms Phelps?
34
159640
1560
02:41
He's four. He goes to Saint Saviour's on Bridge Street.
35
161200
4720
02:45
And how are things at home between the two of you?
36
165920
2760
02:50
Fine. Good.
37
170960
1720
02:54
I'm trying to think if there's anything last night.
38
174760
2840
02:57
Pip was just... we had fish pie, put Pip to bed. Watched an episode
39

of The Crown, then fell asleep in front of Question Time.
40
185400
2040
03:07
Jamie had had a bit of work, sent a couple of emails, but that's normal.
41
187440
5800
03:13
He made us all porridge in the morning.
42
193240
1760
03:17
Can you remember the last thing. he said to you this morning?
43
197160
3240
03:20
What shall we have for tea? I think.
44
200400
3920
03:24
Four's a fun age. Is Pip your only child?
45
204320
3920
03:28
Yes, we planned on having more, but, look,
46
208240
5520
03:33
I've written down all of Jamie's movements that I know about.
47
213760

03:38
Here's his car registration and the name and
48
218960
2120
03:41
contact details of Juliet, his PA.
49
221080
1640
03:45
Any money troubles
50
225160
1440
03:46
we should know about? Starting your own business is quite an undertaking.
51
226600
4120
03:50
No, genuinely nothing. Everything's been going.
52
230760
5520
03:56
amazingly. He's found this new niche being an accountant for people in the
53
236280
5640
04:01
media - comedians, news anchors, celebrity chefs, that kind of thing.
54
241920
6000
04:07
He's discreet. People like him, recommend him to each other.
55
247920
4280
04:17
Here he is - specialist accountant to the media industry. He's hot,
56
257640
6040
04:23
probably having an affair. Why do you think she's wearing gym gear?
57
263680
3760
04:27
She's not supposed to be at work? She's posh isn't she.
58
267440
3880
04:31
Ms Phelps. Pip's gone.
59
271320
3280
04:34
I just called the nursery to check. Jamie never dropped him off.
