00:16Where the hell is everyone?
00:17Jenny, anyone?
00:20I've got him.
00:22He's here.
00:30I know you're in here.
00:37It's over.

01:29Oh, Hugh.
01:38After all this time, you were so close.
01:46Catch you later, detective.
01:47We're here.
02:04I'm just saying, it's probably going to get a bit messy, that's all.
02:20Hugh, you're 55.
02:21Yeah, well, I can still party like a 20-year-old, aren't I?
02:24Yeah.
02:25What? What was that? What was that?
02:27I'm just saying, you know what those guys are like.
02:29It's going to get a bit wild.
02:31Yeah, how is Toby's angina these days?
02:33Yeah, just because you're not invited.
02:35I've got a date with a hot bath and a bottle of wine, so I'm counting on you not coming home too early.
02:40Well, you know, there's going to be curry and karaoke.
02:43Do not come home early.
02:46Dead man walking.
02:48Stop it, Frank.
02:50He's not bursting into tears all the time, is he?
02:52He is being a very brave little soldier, I'll have you know.
02:55Hello, I'm standing here, I'm fine, actually.
02:57He does look a wee bit peaky.
03:00Well, he would do. It's the end of the world for him today, isn't it?
03:03Well, I'm going to put him to the top of the seat.
03:19Oh, hi. I just want to say a quick goodbye to the guys, sir.
03:40I won't be a minute.
03:45Oh, shit, Hugh. Is it today?
03:47Yeah, yeah, it is.
03:48Oh, mate.
03:50Sorry, I've completely forgotten.
03:53How's Alice coping with the idea of having you home every day?
03:57Oh, well, she's booked double time to work.
03:59Yeah, she's very cool, your wife.
04:04Anyway, mate, listen, good luck, and sorry you're leaving with unfinished business.

07:28Well, it's got to be done at some time, isn't it?
07:32Morning, Professor.
07:33Morning, Captain.
07:33Oh, could you not have brushed your teeth before you broke our freezer?
07:39Well, I told you it'd be a big one last night, didn't I?
07:41And then, anyway, I'm not breaking it, I'm fixing it.
07:46Day one of retirement, going exactly to plan.
07:48Day one.
08:14She called my name and I entered
08:19She got so sweet sound
08:26She's all I'm looking for
08:30So sweet sound
08:44I enemigo
09:01I need me to go
09:06I don't know.
09:36Hi guys, welcome to episode four of my podcast, listing the top ten greatest cock-ups by the
09:48police in the last 20 years. Today I'm going to tell you all about the Ripton stalker and
09:53the man who failed to catch him. Take a bow, Detective Inspector Hugh Miller.
09:58So, you cook a lot, you cycle a lot, you shop a lot, not a care in the world. Sounds great.
10:11Yeah, yeah it is. How long before you blow your brains out? Give it about two weeks.
10:22Yep, about right. Ooh, boom, look at that.
10:28There we go.
10:37Hugh.
10:39It's good, I'm just, it's just a bit harder than I expected, that's why. I should never
10:44have taken early retirement. I mean, I only did that because my pension had matured. I
10:49just got so much more to give.
10:55Yeah, but you're, you know, you're free now.
10:58Yeah, but...
11:01Do you think there is a single person that lives their lives without regret?
11:05Well, this is different though, isn't it?
11:07It's a useless emotion. And you know it better than anyone.
11:12Why can't I let it go then? Because you care more than most, because you're a good man, and
11:23because you know I'm going to beat you at golf. Oh, here we go. And you're coming over all
11:27pathetic just to put me off my game. There's no point in asking you anything, is there really?
11:31Oh, here we go.
11:32Oh, here we go.
11:33Frank.
11:34Oh, here we go.
11:35Frank.
11:36Frank.
11:37Oh, here we go.
11:38Oh, here we go.
11:39Oh, here we go.
11:40Frank.
11:41Frank.
11:42Oh, Frank.
12:12Frank?
12:42It's here, I just returned your cloth.
13:06Frank?
13:10Thanks, Frank.
13:40I know you never can tell but if you were to ask me which of us would have
14:10a heart attack he's the fittest man I've ever met with the dirtiest laugh
14:24do you know her? yeah yeah she's an old friend she doesn't seem very friendly
14:32you going back to school? sorry I have to get to this PTA meeting this is just terrible isn't it?
14:38so Jenny's just turned up what for a heart attack? yeah I know it's a bit weird isn't it?
14:44try not to get involved yeah I know but if Jenny arrives...
14:49Jenny's not retired remember okay see you later girls bye see you Alice
14:56hi how are you I'm fine oh that's nice can I come in yeah of course Jenny in you go thanks so much
15:14yeah um I thought you might help me with the thing I just um can't get my head round
15:24well about Frank what did you find? no no no not him no um I've got a problem with a load of data that was downloaded onto a flash drive at the station
15:32someone copied all the files on the ripton stalker case
15:38you know anything about that?
15:40well I'm retired Jenny yeah I'm glad you worked that out
15:43because someone that stole confidential information from the police could get themselves into a lot of trouble if they didn't delete it all immediately
15:50so what did they think the paramedics? what? oh it's nothing it's an OD
15:59an overdose? well Frank he didn't have to eat truck
16:04yeah well maybe you didn't know him so well
16:06no I knew him
16:07yeah I thought I knew you
16:09but here you are lying to my face
16:18right let's go out of here
16:20yes ma'am
16:21yeah
16:26yeah
16:28yeah
16:29yeah
16:31yeah
16:32yeah
16:33yeah
16:34yeah
16:35yeah
16:36yeah
16:37yeah
16:38Hi there, love. All right?
16:53Hiya. Yeah. What are you up to?
16:57Oh, yeah, nothing much. Fine.
17:00Oh, good. Oh, good. I was worried for a minute.
17:02You were doing something silly, like snooping around Frank's house.
17:08Are you?
17:29Don't say words, all right? I know. I know. Just don't...
17:32Yeah, right.
17:38The Ripton stalker watched his victims for weeks before he acted.
17:43There's a theory he got inside their houses and watched them while they slept.
17:47He'd mess with their minds, move things around their homes, drive them crazy.
17:51And it was only then, when they were really falling apart, that he'd kill them.
17:55So, give Detective Inspector Hugh Miller a little credit.
17:59The things he's seen would give us all nightmares.
18:01By all accounts, Hugh became totally obsessed with catching him.
18:06Every day for months, he would appear at press conferences, saying how close he was.
18:11But as time went by, the bodies just kept piling up.
18:14And Miller just looked more and more stressed.
18:17A year into the case, Hugh suddenly announces that he's done it.
18:21He's caught him.
18:22Only for his prime suspect, Declan Reed, to be totally innocent.
18:28Meanwhile, each time the killer committed his heinous crimes, he would send Hugh another letter.
18:34Each one ending with the same sign-off.
18:37Catch you later, Detective.
18:40Miller was demoted from the case, and the Ripton stalker was never found.
18:44I still can't believe it.
18:55It's just the worst.
18:57It was a lovely funeral, though.
19:00Listen, I ordered you a little something on prime the other day.
19:03I can't have you moping around the house anymore, Hugh.
19:06Your backside's wearing out the sofa.
19:08I do please beg your pardon.
19:16Go and enjoy your round.
19:17You deserve it.
19:19That's an order, Captain.
19:21Bye.
19:22Thanks, Prof.
19:22Bye.
19:42Bye.
19:43Bye.
19:44Bye.
19:45Bye.
21:19Take no time.
21:21No, Mrs. Patrick, doubt.
21:24Just me.
21:25I'm enough.
21:28I could give you a hand.
21:29No, I don't want you getting all dirty and...
21:34I don't mind.
21:36I like getting hot and sweaty.
21:38Me too.
21:39Just not over some boxes.
21:41I'm going to enjoy having you around.
21:49My God, he's so fit.
21:52Runs a repair shop so knows what to do with his hands.
21:56Hey, you.
21:57Oh, hi.
21:59And he is 100% single, so...
22:02Hi, hi.
22:03Sorry.
22:03Hi, Liz.
22:04Yeah.
22:04Yeah.
22:05Just lusting after the new name already, aren't you?
22:08Yeah.
22:08We'll be lovers by the end of the week.
22:11No, I'm serious.
22:12Come on, I need an affair to save my marriage.
22:15Explain that to me.
22:17Steve's lost all interest.
22:19Seriously, last week I came down completely naked.
22:23Sat next to him.
22:25Didn't look up once.
22:26Oh, dear.
22:26How long were you sitting there naked?
22:28Hey, half an hour.
22:30I was serious.
22:31I was frozen.
22:34My downstairs got in the bath and, um...
22:37Washed my hair.
22:40Oh, thank you.
22:42All right, love.
22:48There you are.
22:53It's Patrick.
22:54I just moved in opposite.
22:56Oh.
22:58Hugh, right?
22:59Yeah.
23:00Yeah, uh, Stephen Paul sent me.
23:02Said it was a book club at yours.
23:04You'd need rescue.
23:04Oh, well, yeah.
23:05God bless you.
23:06We're all off to the pub.
23:08It's really good to meet you.
23:10And you?
23:11How are you settling in?
23:13Well, I can't find the cattle in.
23:15All my trousers have disappeared.
23:17So there's real money in fixing junket, right?
23:19Old clocks and stuff.
23:21More than you'd imagine.
23:23And I get to pick my own hours.
23:25Shit.
23:25I should do that.
23:27You can't keep chasing the next deal, always hustling for work.
23:29This guy's got to sort it.
23:31Especially compared to you, Paolo.
23:32You hate it, John.
23:34I don't hate it.
23:35I just don't know what I'm doing.
23:38I spend the whole day moving files around waiting to get sacked.
23:41Actually, actually, the only guy who's got to sort it is you.
23:44No.
23:44We're tired at 55.
23:4550 sodding five.
23:47I don't think you go every time and there's anything to brag about, really.
23:50Are you joking?
23:51You literally get to play golf all day.
23:52Yeah, it's weird, though.
23:53I don't think I'm really ready.
23:55Yeah, I get that.
23:56But you're still smarter than all of us.
23:59That's not difficult, is it?
24:01Hey, why don't you do that thing for Patrick?
24:03Oh, yeah.
24:03You'll love this.
24:04Go on.
24:05Well, Demis, I don't think Patrick wants to...
24:07Come on, come on, do it.
24:09It's brilliant.
24:10Okay, okay, right.
24:11From the doorway going left, there is a 20-something guy in a grey jumper with his red-headed girlfriend.
24:18He's drinking a pint of bitter, she's drinking gin and toni at the next table.
24:22There's three lads, all wearing jeans and white trainers.
24:25They're drinking pints of stout.
24:27And halfway up the bar, you've got two young women, one's brunette, one's a blonde,
24:32and they're drinking diet coats, but they're topping them up with rum from the hip flask.
24:37The table, the table next to the bar, you've got a really bored 30-something married couple.
24:43And they're on the phones, of course.
24:44And he's drinking bitter and she's on her fourth vodka, which in itself tells its own story.
24:50He could clear the whole room.
24:52You're right, Hugh, you're wasted in retirement.
24:55Oh, I think anyone can do it with a bit of practice.
24:57No, you're unique.
24:58I think she'd be burnt at the stake for witchcraft.
25:00Are you worried who'll discover your secrets?
25:02I haven't gone here.
25:04We've all got them.
25:05No, St. Stephen of Ripton, that's me.
25:07Holy martyr, tortured for his good deeds by an insanely demanding and attention-seeking wife.
25:13What, she's a bit forward?
25:15Mate, it's never-ending.
25:17Last week, she came downstairs buck naked just to get a reaction.
25:21I had to pretend I didn't notice.
25:23Come on, drink up, high round.
25:25See you guys.
25:26All right, hello.
25:27Hey, you're all right.
25:28This is me.
25:30Evening, gents.
25:31Night, night.
25:31Yeah, night, Stevie.
25:32Yeah.
25:34I like them.
25:36Yeah.
25:36Yeah, we're lucky to have such good neighbours.
25:41I mean, I meant it when I said you are wasted in retirement.
25:46You need a new challenge.
25:49No, I think I'm okay for a bit.
25:53You know, I suppose I probably should slow down, really, shouldn't I?
25:58Yeah.
25:59Really?
26:02Okay.
26:04Well, this was fun.
26:07Yeah.
26:07Yeah, it was.
26:08Wasn't it?
26:09Yeah, I mean, we should do it again.
26:12All right.
26:13Catch you later.
26:14Catch you later.
26:24Catch you later, detective.
26:25Each one ending with the same sign.
26:28Catch you later, detective.
26:29Catch you later, detective.
26:59Good morning.
27:24Oh, yeah, yeah.

37:32I was just, er...
37:46I don't believe you.
37:48No, Alice, it just happened to be...
37:50No, no, we're not doing this here.
37:52What, I swear I'm just...
37:53We will go home right this minute and you can explain it to me there.
37:56No, it was...
37:56Not here!
38:02What is the matter with you?
38:22Well, it's just being a bit nosy.
38:24There's no need to get out of shape about it.
38:27No.
38:28What is it?
38:32I mean, it's all right for you, isn't it?
38:35I mean, you go to work.
38:37Stop lying!
38:39What is going on?
38:40Alice, nothing is going on!
38:50Okay.
38:52Okay.
38:54I think I know that I...
38:56I know for certain.
39:00And I swear to you, Alice.
39:02That Patrick...
39:04Is the Ripton stalker.
39:09Now, he's been waiting for an opportunity all these years.
39:11And now that I'm retired, he's coming to get me.
39:14Oh, my God.
39:15And he called out to me on the first night that we met.
39:19And when I heard it, it was like I was back there.
39:22Like I was back in the warehouse.
39:24What did he say?
39:25And it's definitely him.
39:27I recognize his voice.
39:28What did he say?
39:30Catch you later.
39:31But everybody says that.
39:35Yeah, not in the way he said it.
39:36He was taunting me.
39:39I thought we were past this.
39:40It's him!
39:42Because he said, catch you later!
39:44No, see, because it's not just me, is it?
39:45Because Liz said that when he bought the house, he bought it without a viewing.
39:49I mean, that is not normal, is it?
39:51Is it?
39:51And then there's Frank's death.
39:54Which the police are dealing with.
39:56Yeah, but they, you know, they're just lazy.
39:58Oh, my God.
39:59You're doing it again?
40:03All the same things.
40:05But it's him!
40:06Alice!
40:07Hugh!
40:07You had a nervous breakdown.
40:11Our daughter barely speaks to us.
40:14And you nearly crushed our marriage.
40:16And you want to do that to us again.
40:18But Alice, this is...
40:19I made you promise me that you wouldn't drag me back into that madness again.
40:25We won't survive if you do.
40:27Do you not remember what you were like?
40:32Obsessing.
40:34Not sleeping.
40:35Imagining clues that didn't exist.
40:38No, no.
40:39This is wrong.
40:41You're just chasing shadows.
40:43Because your life is suddenly empty.
40:46And you're looking to fill it.
40:49And you're going back down that road.
40:52You're going to jump off a cliff.
40:55I know you are.
40:56And I'm not going to jump with you.
40:59Not this time.
41:01Bath.
41:04Oh, God, Alice.
41:07No.
