and the engine was still running personal belongings there was a bag containing house keys in a purse on the front seat uniform is still searching the area but it's not the kind of terrain you'd want

pleasant [Music] give me a knife [Music] Oh [Applause] that come up here mornin mom's looking for you more weirdos booking don't call them that I know it's what they are for one for the tinfoil hat

that's all [Music] she's up to four tools a day still fleecing the alien chasers yeah [Music] I just think she was murdered we can't confirm the cause of death but that's what you suspect oh sorry oh when did you last see Felicity yesterday before she left for work and how was she fine I think we didn't talk a great deal I was in bed on account of a cold you worked with Felicity Brogan still I was her fiance the thing she was murdered just a few questions when did you see Felicity yesterday in the morning she went off to deal with a camera there's a camp site in the woods no but one of the UFO chases to set up his caravan illegally that it has been overrun with that looked this is the light started up her so-called UFO but nonsense try telling Faulkner that Faulkner is the owner of the caravan he's some sort of UFO expert he flicks been trying to move more for weeks mrs. forward if listy made a call on her mobile last night around nine o'clock we traced the number to a nearby mo D facility the RAF base at Cooper Hill can you think what she called there her father he's the base commander félicité would never have called him why not she hated the man [Music] Chief Inspector Barnaby sergeant alley welcome to Kupa Health Group captain Ford is expecting you I was expecting jets there hasn't been a squadron based at Cooper Hill for a good ten years so nothing flies out of this boat not anymore then how do you fill your talent we're a storage facility as well as one of the main radar stations you must be busy these days then UFO sightings Cooper Hill seems to be a hot destination for aliens not according to our radar how was my daughter killed we are not in a position to say I'm not her mother Chief Inspector I don't require careful handling it's not about handling but until we have a pathology report do you at least have a suspect it's early days right now our focus is on building a picture of felicity well I can't help you there Felicity and I hadn't spoken in some time her phone records showed that she called the base around nine o'clock last night sergeant you're in the office last night did you receive a call from my daughter no sir well I mean there was a call but I didn't know it was from your daughter what exactly did she say she asked for you I told her you were in your quarters then she hung up why do you think she called you given your strained relationship it's fair to assume it was important I'd say so why wasn't the call transferred what isn't there a phone in your quarters might ask not to be disturbed so you were alone all night I need to establish your whereabouts yes I was alone all night I'm not leaving until he come out that's not why I'm here I'm looking for Carter Faulkner he's out I'll be back to later and you are Dylan his son do you know this woman Dylan yeah she's a pest he was found dead this morning in the woods about a mile from here don't know anything about that you need dad a UFO experts dad's the expert not me it was he in the woods last night stayed home and were you in the woods dinner not just me place was crawling with people out looking for the UFO did you see anything unusual I'll be back to talk to your dad I can't confirm until I get her on the table but I'm guessing asphyxiation strangled or smothered drowned looks like she was immersed in this stuff but it was in liquid form it's not a nice way to go what is this stuff it's fascinating isn't it I mean it's a synthetic resin probably a polymer but with unusual properties it seems to have a low melting point which would certainly what is it can I have absolutely no idea it must come from somewhere agreed I just don't know where so you're saying this stuff's alien I'm saying it's alien for me [Music] [Music] [Music] uploaded videos of our strange lights eaten total all shot in or around Cooper Hill in the past week this one is from last night the farmer on the north side of the village these pens represent all the recent sightings what do you notice or within a mile of the village which begs the question why would an alien cross a galaxy to visit a small hamlet in a corner of England whoever killed Felicity Ford went to a lot of effort to make it look like aliens were involved this part is the key we need to find out what this mystery substance is Kam said she'll need at least a day to do a proper analysis she did find this though attached to a chain around Felicity Ford's neck why wear a ring around your neck to keep it hidden do we know about the fiance worked as a biologist until he packed it in one day and moved to midsummer what prompted the move Felicity they met at an environmental conference Steele was so smitten he dropped everything to be with her she thinks I'm interfering cut back off a bit it's a university scholarship emergency all hands on deck sorry got to bring my booking forward I need food for 14 now you're not due till 4 o'clock I've had to cut the tour short can you come through please everyone reminds me of a society I once had in Wales Coast Guard closed off two miles of Beach very suspect so what's happened what police roadblocks all over the world why and you heard Felicity Ford's body was found up there this morning David sorry come on Jamie never saw Felicity wear jewelry from what we can tell the ring had been around her neck for some time then that's why I never saw him you and Felicity weren't intimate was that surprising you were engaged but not married my faith is important to me and did felicity share your faith no but she respected it was happy to wait until our wedding day did you sleep here last night yeah and some work to catch up on did Felicity know you were here no [ __ ] gone home early so did you see anything last night no it was all quiet all quiet your fiance was murdered what I mean is that so I wasn't actually out in the woods it keeps picking up ground signals get interference from the base can't you saw yeah close down their radar she was here yesterday lunchtime she asked us to move on and I refused and then what happened she drove off in a strop any idea where she was going so you hoping to see the UFO it's not about hope the crafts be flying the skies for the past week and have you seen it no but I will I've been waiting 30 years for him to come back to me sorry did you say come back to you fourth of August 1984 me and some mates had been company in the woods when I came out here to take a leak and that's when I saw it was the brightest purest I had ever seen and this was a UFO was it it was an alien craft most important close encounter in the UK for the past 30 years that's about two minutes lights growl and it flew off into the night I was never more alive than in those two minutes a thin since has come remotely close that out feeling God's sake Veronica I didn't come here to pick a fight with you am i dizzy because at least we could be civil to each other Felicity you were hardly ever there for at least when I was there I was sober that was unfair Russia blood touch me sorry to interrupt the door was do you have any information for respond abhi thanks now I was hoping you might have some information for me other than Brogan steel was there anyone else that Felicity was close to what's that supposed to mean did you have another lover perhaps no of course not where else would you use an idea like that from you ever see Felicity wearing this yes broken give it to her Brogan has never seen it before Felicity never mentioned anyone else not to me who captain formed this all you have Barnaby our daughters been murdered you're asking about this trinket this trinket meant something to your daughter not only did she wear it every day but she lied to her mother about where it came from someone gave Felicity this ring someone important to her so I suggest you to put your heads together and think who it could be [Music] this is my first alien abduction I don't think she was abducted or something's happened to her what else would the police block the roads dead a lot of treating it like it's some sort of game I don't get to booking systems gone haywire again you were in the woods yesterday so do you notice anything weird we're captain Aldo Nadine why don't we go to the office hola you have to open it sometime Faulkner's close encounter in 1984 is well-documented the Cooper Hill incident is legend amongst ufologists he's done OK from it written three books on UFO phenomena runs a ufology website big draw the conference's you can't deny the man's dedication or that he had run-ins with Felicity you find out anything about the ring the fiance says he's never seen it before you think he's lying I think he's lying about something speak to the local jewelers see if anyone's old one like it recently yeah I was thinking above me and keep it informal nothing too fancy now you're asking let's say ten that's great okay I'll call tomorrow to come first Sarah nah eat in 10 minutes someone on the phone yeah just work thing [Music] Nathan I need rescue sweetheart [Music] Sam chemical analysis supports my original theory our substance is a polymer made of carbon hydrogen and nitrogen not so alien after all well theoretically it could have been synthesized on another planet though chances are it wasn't mind you even if it isn't alien the material is still problematic problematic hell according to two chemistry professors and most of the plastics industry our polymer here doesn't exist there's nothing like it being produced commercially or industrially perhaps it's experimental a prototype and a pawn at that far too unstable we're looking for a bad chemist is there anything that can help us shreya catkins fountain her hair hardly unusual for a woodland Ranger I still haven't been able to identify them as soon as I know what they are I'll let you know kam draw a blank on the substance well forensics pulled prints off the van labs cross-checking the know about the ring none of the local jewelers stock a ring like the one Felicity owned however one of them did identify the type seems this is a Posey ring a sweetheart ring they come in pairs and with a message inscribed on the you see on the inside you can just see it faintly it says hooter - Hudson it's German means keeper of my heart is that significant maybe look who was on exercise in Germany recently the call Felicity made to the base on the night she died we assumed it was her father she was trying to contact but in fact she was calling you why would she do that because you were in a relationship we found this ring around Felicity's neck it was bought in Germany where you trained three months ago but you see this ring that is one of a pair and I'm betting its partner is hanging around your neck right now how long had you been seeing felicity six months I'm sorry I've spent the last two days pretending that I'm not heartbroken by the secrecy do you really have to ask I take a look at where we are chief inspector aren't the Armed Forces tolerant of same-sex relationships nowadays not when it's the CEOs daughter but Felicity was more concerned about her mum finding out why didn't you tell us about the call there was nothing to tell she rang to say she couldn't meet that night why not she said she had something on I just assumed it was work goodnight Felicity died you were on the base the whole time I was on duty it was a memorable night the UFO sightings you mean the radar readings you asked ago we picked up some anomalous signals sergeant ali-a may I see you in my office one moment please Group Captain tell me about these signals it is rather pressing sergeant maybe you could come to the station [Music] Elsa Abigale ton of she runs UFO spotting tours out of a garage in Cooper Hill seems she was out scouting new routes for her tour last night when she came into contact without bright lights she saw the UFO up close and personal all those years all those toes tracking people through the woods talking about UFOs I never believed a word of it what happened mrs. Tolliver I sweat I saw the UFO can you describe it it was big as big as a car and the noise from it was deafening and then the lights it your eyes to look at it sweetheart what is there anything else you remember wasn't a UFO enough what about details mrs. Tolliver there was a it was a symbol I think only on the underside what kind of symbol oh it's hard to explain can you draw it for us best I can do it's something else when I run away that thing came after me it was chasing me it was hunting me despite the dramatics I believe abigail saw something last night but you're rolling out a UFO I don't think I ever ruled it in I'm not saying there isn't something in the skies but the key to this murder is down here in Cooper Hill maybe this can help us so if you can find out where it comes from that was the lab they found a match for one of the prints and Felicity's van we'd like to talk to your husband oh this way now you come to mention here I think huh I wasn't Felicity's van the other day when exactly day before yesterday I went for a run got caught in the rain Felicity was passing and gave me a lift how well did you know Felicity well I knew her dad really I serve a group a team for two Cooper Hill you were in the RAF came out in half I've bought this place this is his call records show that you were in regular contact with her over 30 calls this year alone while the phone calls mr. Campbell yeah well the phone calls Victor I don't be stupid Nadine there's nothing like that I was thinking for a favor he and Felicity didn't talk after the divorce she took Veronica's side and pretty much cut off all ties with him I always got on with Felicity so he asked me to keep in contact they know he was getting on so he was spying on her I was helping a friend look I know fort can come across as a bit heartless but underneath he's just a dad he wanted to make sure his thought it was okay all I did was keep him in the loop what about Felicity and Sergeant Allie did you know about their relationship you told four didn't you what did forward to say it wasn't best pleased when did he tell him the night Felicity died what was Ford doing here yesterday on 19 he thought it would be best if I kept our arrangement between him and me doesn't prove anything you lied to me Group Captain Ford you told me you were in your quarters on the night that Felicity died but in fact you were meeting Victor Campbell no I wasn't my quarters when Felicity called I'd met Campbell earlier where he told you that your daughter was sleeping with your sergeant I see so your theory is that I was so incensed by my daughter's lesbianism that I sought her out and killed her please anybody was gonna feel my anger it would have been sergeant addy where is sergeant alley just taking some overdue leave did you ask her to why would I do that because she was about to tell me about the bases radar readings I don't think why they're all very routine routine half of Cooper Hill has seen a mysterious craft flying around the village as your radar missed it my daughter is dead and instead of catching her killer you are chasing after flashing lights in the sky I assure you we're doing everything we can please call sergeant I'll be back we'll deliver her to my station [Music] thanks Nelson our my two favorite girls well this one needs a change come here are you coming in not exactly subtle are they oh come on [Music] [Applause] [Music] sergeant Ali sometime last night same cause of death I'm afraid so we're missing something here both victims were drowned which means your resin here was in a liquid state it would have hardened has it cooled right so in order to pull this stunt off you'd have to have enough liquid resin to immerse a fully grown adult and you'd need to keep it heated which means you'd need power they would ransom or else we're looking for another murder site so you'd also need transport to get the bodies out here not to mention a good working knowledge of these woods which leads us to Brogan steel they found sergeant Ali's mobile and Brogan left quite the voicemail message last night you can't think it was broken I have two murder victims the first was his fiancee the second was her secret lover sergeant Yasmin Ali broken did you know about this not only did he know he threatened sergeant early about the affair I was angry I suspected Felicity was seeing someone for a while but when I asked her about it she just denied it making her a liar and a cheat I believed her at least I wanted to believe her flick was spending the whole afternoon spinning out this clearing where she was meeting sergeant Ali I decided to follow her out there when was this on the day she died when I got there she had her arms around her flink never looked at me the way she looked at Yasmin what did you do i watch them until sergeant Ali left did you confront felicity no I felt sick numb so I just left her there working in the tearing did you meet sergeant Ali last night no what I made the call because I don't know I wanted to scare her why didn't you say something before I was saving myself for Felicity and all the while she was with her [Music] I never even knew her if it's any consolation Felicity went out of her way to keep you in the dark about a relationship with Yasmin I had no problem with her being gay would I have preferred her to be with Brogan yes but I'd never disapprove of anyone who made Felicity happy then why did she hide this from you because thousand Ali was RAF there's no romance in being a force's wife DCI Barnaby as soon as you've settled you'll moved on until one day they dumped you in a place like this and leave you to rot Felicity knew I never wanted that for her that's why she hid it from me Brogan steel claims that Felicity met sergeant Ali here on the afternoon she died a place called Hunter's clearing I'm thinking this was their spot it's remote no chance of being discovered and it's convenient halfway between the base and the Ranger's office oh you've done the pathology already features still being prepped but we did find and of all of these guys same cat can be found on Felicity Ford and have you identified it yes I have it comes from the populus [ __ ] otherwise known as the black poplar not many around but according to the lovely man at the woodland website there's a really old one in this area in a place called hunter's clearing how did you know that get down there check it out you didn't have to come with me well you might need some help I think you can find a tree on my own charlie trees this way she's a beauty want to know how I know it's a she not really greet pathology Helios was dotted the Sun he drive his chariots across the sky each day one day his son fightin stole his dad's chariot and tried to drive it but he lost control and punched his death and his sisters the halay ADIZ was so grief-stricken but the gods turned them into black poplars therefore hey all right ladies [Music] [Music] they disappeared you mean you lost them what would I do here probably looking for this looks like something or someone was buried here [Music] the mice up I'm here to see Group Captain Ford as you can imagine we're all very upset about sergeant pally I've set up a formal investigation if we find anything I'll pass it on when did you last see sergeant Harley yesterday afternoon in my office after you'd finished interviewing at when you granted her leave with that sergeant all his requests and why would she ask for time off to grieve for the death of my daughter and what about the radar signal yes we have been detecting something in the area and no we don't know what it is but it is not extraterrestrial so what is it then best guess a drone or a remote aircraft of some kind a prank now if you'll excuse me I have to go and inform mrs. Ally about her daughter's death so what are the chances of us finding out who was buried here depends you might get lucky and find some genetic material for DNA testing but I can tell you that it was originally dug years ago but excavated recently our reason are we talking within the last week if Felicity Ford was working out here she could have discovered the grave maybe that's why she was killed someone covering up a past crime but what about sergeant alley but maybe she discovered it too this is where she and Felicity met after all well then why didn't you say anything about it when you spoke to her yesterday she was going to come to the station but we found a catkin on sergeant alley which means she came back after Felicity died so what was she doing here hmm something weird happened earlier they doubled back no kind of seen them [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] looks like some kind of vodka [Applause] [Music] a series of tunnels [Music] need some more light in here [Music] these tunnels must connect to the base during the war the mo D built lots of these underground networks those we use to store munitions and supplies sir you might want to look at this [Music] don't you have anything I'm DCI Barnaby Causton CID this is dears Nelson where is group captain fort Barnaby trespassing on a Modi property we were in pursuit of a suspect for all we know they're still down there well if they are we'll flush them out before your officers ambushed us we found a panel down there with an unusual symbol stenciled on it Solaire has been non-operational for years there's all kinds of junk down there that symbol is connected to whatever it is that's been flying around I'm going to get some officers up here to search those tunnels and I expect the full cooperation of this base you're wasting your time I'm getting the feeling that you were trying to obstruct this investigation you forget DCI Barnaby or out of your jurisdiction this is mo D property and until you have a search warrant I'll ask you to leave my bets he doesn't want to send those tunnels because he's hiding something would you come back we'll find out what it is so tomorrow night anything in particular you'd like for your birthday dinner well we were going with the buffet I overheard you on the phone okay when you were arranging the party don't get me wrong I appreciate you making the effort but I'd be much happier spending the night at home : Smart is retiring sorry : smart head of geography it's his last day tomorrow so I'm arranging a retirement lunch for him I see that's what the phone call was about so you and Nelson yesterday he wanted to take you in the team out for drinks tomorrow night but I told him that you wouldn't want any fuss right well that's great news John if you wanted to do something special you should have just told me and I don't so I didn't so basically we have a small area of excavated line measuring 180 centimeters in length and about 70 centimeters in width depth 50 to 60 centimeters a shallow grave we get it come well based on the plant roots we found I'd say the grave was originally dug between 20 and 30 years ago so our man won't be on the database then how do we identify him well we did find something that might help you discover the named red corduroy formal item of clothing how will that help us well I'd imagine whoever buried him did so to avoid reporting his death he'll still be officially missing I'll make a start on the far 7/16 men went missing in Cooper Hill between 1980 and 1990 but I think this might be our night Eric Thomas husband - Abigail father - Nathan Tolliver went missing on the 4th of August 1984 Abigail reported him missing and check out the description she gave 35 years old six foot brown hair last seen wearing a blue suit jacket and red corduroy trousers 4th of August 1984 that's the same date fault that was close encounter it was a big day in Cooper Hill let's go you sure it's him we can't be certain not without a body but the dates correspond with his disappoint so you don't have his body we think your dad has been buried out there since 1984 however his body was dug up in the last week or so dig him up whoever killed your dad may have moved the remains to conceal their crime we think Felicity Ford discovered the grave and sergeant ollie - we understand this is difficult mr. tunnliffe but we need to ask you about the time of your dad's disappearance was only ten you don't remember anything no of the actual day I mean nobody says your dad's ran out on you you never thought to try and find him why should I try and find him he's the one who ran out on us except he didn't did he my god poor felicity you knew Felicity forward we weren't close but children of the base we had a kind of connection treatment of the base are you saying your father worked at Cooper Hill there's the chief engineer speak to Victor Campbell he may have known ton of when he was at the base where you go speak to Faulkner he's the one person we know was in the woods the night on earth died I can't believe you my mail it's an unconditional offer Ola you've got to think of a future I have a future a labs in the workshops on another part of the base whereas like to keep the grunts and the boffins apart but we knew what time it was and what was that that was a traitor fed and run off when he did he was looking at life in prison it sounds serious yeah well selling secrets to the Russians is thank God for Group Captain Ford why it was for discovered what Tony was up to he's all set to arrest him then why didn't he because Turner did a runner [Music] Oh what time is that stuff to five you idiot why didn't you wake me up that I've checked it's already the radars in our setup I still can't get a signal just keep trying there's no point I just keep trying I'm gonna be near less it's all Dillon Dillon you get Bucky and now Carter Falkner where do you suppose it came from I sad to know but I reckon in nearby galaxies somewhere like Andromeda did you see anything else though known all I saw was a spaceship you ever hear of an erekt on earth now he was an engineer a re of Cooper Hill in the early 80s he disappeared the same night you had your encounter I don't know anything about that we were wondering if what you saw that night came from the RAF base it wasn't a military plane nor a conventional one no but it may have been an experimental craft alien markings markings like this where'd you get this that's not important but I saw that symbol up at the base last night mr. Faulkner I didn't I see it see what it must have captured it all makes sense now that's why it took them so long to come back it's not the same ship it's another ship let's come to look for them I'm not sure that's the case they captured it took it to the base and plundered it for technology I need to warn them need a signal telling him to stay away from me off spying for the Russians far-fetched maybe but Cooper Hill was the mo DS main R&D facility in the early 1980s all very top secret and and this is the Cold War we're talking about you think the security services killed tonic and dumped him in a woodland grave maybe or maybe Ford couldn't find the proof he needed to arrest on if so took matters into his own hands okay I can buy Ford murdering ton F and killing his daughter seems extreme over 30 years service that decorated officer all he has is his reputation he's not the only one in the frame we should keep an open mind [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] it's always UFO yeah I can't be a coincidence exactly it's quite a sight Oh Nelson nobody gets anywhere near that wretched without my say-so right Thank You constable so you found a body yeah what time was this about 6:00 what were you doing here that early routine just doing the rounds when did you last speak to Faulkner yesterday came down to tell him to move on three people murdered in the space of a week in these very woods and all of them met you just before they died don't make any travel plans Brogan you know him his name is Carter Faulkner this one was a rush job killer didn't have time to let him dry completely or to find a better dumping site I'm thinking they were disturbed footprints and tread marks here they lead up to this point where they stopped tire tracks your killer is mobile probably a van they keep the heated resin in the back get the victims in dip them buy them and dump them all so I got some analysis back on the polymer the reason it degrades so quickly is because it's an old batch happy birthday runaway Thanks the tech boys are still going over it but so far they back your theory that it's some kind of military craft Talos worked it's a good bet most of the technology on this thing is decades old apparently most of the technology seems the control panel that was used to pilot it is state-of-the-art and there was a thermal imaging camera but it's shattered on impact the hell do you think you're doing that aircraft is the property of the Ministry of Defense stand your men down immediately I'm not prepared to do that your jurisdiction ends at this fence here this wood is mine and you're trespassing on my crime scene it's no time for point-scoring Barnaby you don't know what you're meddling with enlighten me then it's not something I can talk about okay what about Eric Thomas my officers will escort you and your men off this site we don't need an escort I insist but I'll admit I do enjoy them call me a forensics find anything they're just about the discharger is she okay I told her about that it all makes sense no never did understand Eric running off like that he wasn't the most impulsive man do you have any idea who killed him could your husband's murder be linked to the allegations against him what allegations it was all gnosis Nathan your talk was of Patriots he loves this country and none of that was ever proven but he was under investigation it was just base politics Ford had an axe to grind with Eric because he was getting more funding for Omega 4 Omega 4 as a project dad was working on Ford resented him so he cooked up a pack of lies about Eric selling secrets Eric's parents were smuggled here from Germany during the war Eric felt he owed this country a huge debt and he wanted to be but that debt through his work and for wouldn't let him all it it's Nathan about seen one of these before yeah it's an exhaust valve for a car right what's in the rucksack [Music] [Music] well did you get everything pretty much [Music] Wow I must admit I'm impressed how on earth did they pull it off from what I can tell Dylan had been exploring the tolls for months one day he comes across the original Omega 4 machine it's old rusting in need of an overhaul but otherwise intact so he transfers it to the sawmill piece by piece that's when he realizes that getting airborne is gonna require a specialist which is where all our caiman a bit of a mechanical genius using the original drawings he starts putting it back together nicking any parts she needs from Nathan ton of carriage did they mention the polymer I asked them they didn't seem to know what I was talking about still a lot of work for a hoax I don't think it was just a hoax soon as I saw it I knew what it was I heard it described so many times your dad's UFO why didn't you tell your dad about it I couldn't it's all life had been about that night in the woods it'll be for nothing if he knew it was fake why I put Omega 4 in the air dad was diagnosed with cancer a year ago well the doctors told him it was terminal he started to worry about what is left behind wanting to give something back to all the people who believed in him you tried to make that happen thought of enough people saw he'd be vindicated wasn't that risky what if your dad saw it discovered it wasn't Hayley's careful to keep it away from them in case he sauced that last night I got angry guess I was sick of him blaming me when things weren't wrong I thought screw you here it is your UFO made right here in England I wish I hadn't have done that I hope you believe right to the end I'm sure you did it's like it's like they've got my whole life mapped out for me and I don't even get a say in it you know you were trying to prove a point maybe yeah I wanted to show that there's more to life than University working on Omega 4 was the best thing I've ever done when it took off the first time what buzz I did that and how do you think your mum and dad are gonna react when they find out no more hit the roof but secretly I reckon she'll be proud of me what makes you so sure she's parked that Omega 14 I was the computer programmer on the team it was all pretty basic stuff but Omega 4 was Eric's baby it was an unmanned low altitude craft to be used for reconnaissance like a drone and was it successful never got past the prototype too many problems with a navigation system all it needed was a GPS and what about the accusation that Eric was selling sensitive information Ford made it all up no no way Tony was guilty Ford had a witness that testified against him the witness lied Victor how do you know because it was me first thing you need to know is that Eric and Ford to not get on why not Eric thought Ford was an officious jobsworth and showed him no respect that would have angered Ford as did Eric sleeping with his life Eric and Veronica Ford Ford was furious when he found out he
