Father and Son: Crime drama - Episode 3

Attention all units. We need eyes on a silver Mercedes.

Registration: KS3 FOT.

Driver is a white male, 39 years of age.

One passenger, four years of age.

Father and son.

We have one unconfirmed sighting at 10:28, northbound on the A23.

Reason to believe that the father may attempt to take his own life.

Possible threat to son.

We need to get a better idea of what's going on.

Nikesh, get onto the mobile provider. Who has he spoken to today?

Where was that last text sent from?

Just passed a silver Mercedes, parked outside ASDA on Beltonfield Road.

We're en route to a call-out at the Royal Infirmary.

Can't stop, but the reg' was a KS... something.

On my way.

Dad, I don't know. I'm here with them now.

They're all running around. They're bricking it.

Because they basically pat me on the head for two hours.

The one in charge is a bitch.

It said, 'I'm sorry. Please forgive me.'

It's turned off again... Oh, I don't get it.

  Dad, I'll call you when there's news, OK?

Do you have kids?

A daughter, three weeks old.

Congratulations.

Ms Phelps, we have every available unit

out looking for Pip and for Jamie, but...

I'm sure you understand that time is not our friend here.

I'm going to need you to think pretty hard.

Is there anything, anything at all,

that has happened recently to give you pause for thought?

The truth is I've been a bit preoccupied.

I've been preparing for a trial. I haven't been...

I don't know... paying attention.

Ms Phelps, do you have access to your husband's bank accounts?

Of course. Everything's joint and... Jamie's an accountant.

He manages all of our money, but I think I can get it up on my phone.

Could you do that for me now?

Sure.

  I'll be back in a bit.

False alarm.

Well, the phone records show that Jamie spoke to three people today:

his secretary, 08:25, so presumably on the way to work;

his brother, Paul, at 08:35 – looks like there was no answer;

and...

Arthur Montgomery, 09:00, so after he left the office.

Arthur Montgomery? Why do... why do I know that name?

He's a TV chef.

Wears yellow trousers, lives on a houseboat...

does Asian food with a twist. We've got his book at home.

Denise loves him, but I prefer Delia myself. Much more reliable.

OK. Well, we need to speak to all of them. Let's prioritise.

Ms Phelps, I know it's difficult but please trust...

It's all gone.

What has?

The money?

It's an investment account.

I never really check it – it's for Pip's education, really.

But there should be fifteen grand in this account.

It was fifteen grand in this account!

May I?

So, the money was transferred in three lump sums –

transferred using BACS to a Paul Stephenson.

Final payment was made on the 15th July.

Well, that was two months ago.

Who's Paul Stephenson?

It's his brother.

Half-brother. Different dad.

But he's loaded. Why would he...?

Ms Phelps.

I need to speak to him.

DS Pritchard.

OK. Where?

  Uh huh...

Fine. Thank you.

We've got Pip. He was spotted by a member of the public,

sitting by the side of the road – the A15.

Switchboard says he's tired, hungry,

little bit wet, but otherwise unharmed.

They're bringing him straight here.

Oh my God. Thank you.

  But he's OK? You're sure he's OK?

OK? Cheers.

He's here. He's downstairs.

Pip...
