OFFICE

Callie
What was that? Nikesh, are you ok?

Nikesh
Arthur Montgomery, I am arresting you for the murder of Jamie Phelps…

Callie
Yes!

Nikesh
…You do not have to say anything but, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be used in evidence. Do you understand?

Arthur
Yes, yes. I understand.

INTERVIEW ROOM

Nikesh
This interview is being recorded and may be used in evidence at a later date. We are in interview room 3, at Beltonfield Police Station. The date is 26th October 2019 and the time by my watch is 4:42pm. I am DC Nikesh Reddy, also present is DS Callie Pritchard, and Arthur Montgomery – he has chosen not have a solicitor present…

Arthur
There’s no need… I am willing to cooperate fully with your investigation and clearing my name.

Callie
Well that’s nice to hear, isn’t it DC Ready?

Nikesh
Just lovely.

Callie
I thank you for your cooperation, Mr Montgomery. I am not sure that was my colleague’s experience earlier when he arrested you, but perhaps we can put that behind us.

Arthur says nothing. 

Nikesh
Mr Montgomery, we know that you met Jamie Phelps at Dreamers’ Cliffs on Tuesday morning. You have been identified by Jamie’s son, Pip and we have photographic evidence that places you in the area at the time of Mr Phelps’s death.

Callie
Did you call the meeting or did he?

Arthur
Jamie called me, said that his business had been hacked. He was concerned that his devices were being monitored and would I meet him at the cliffs. We met, I told him I couldn’t bail him out – he seemed to be broke - and I’m afraid he jumped.

THE STORY CONTINUES IN ACTIVITY 3.

Your say...

Tell us what you think of our drama. Send us your comments here.

Thanks for all your comments. Here's what some of you have been saying...

I think it was a crime and that both Lucy's brother-in-law and Arthur could be very involved in the murder. And of course there were monetary interests. Who knows?
Eloisa, Mexico

The drama is really engaging, and I love listening to a pronunciation designed by the emotions of the characters.
Silvia, Italy

I confess that I find it more demanding to figure out how the Father and Son drama ends than climbing a wall in the Alps!
Mauro, Italy

Thanks for this exciting way of learning English. I wait for the new series almost with the same impatience as for a TV series. You actors speak like real people. Sometimes it is hard to understand which particular words they say, but due to having the transcription, it is very, very useful in comparison to just listening to e.g. the news. And due to the short duration of every part of the story, I feel comfortable listening to the problem parts several times.
Andrey, Russia

Amazing idea to create Father and Son as a way to learn English. The plot keeps me in suspense and makes me think all the time in new English words and phrases.
Rosario, Peru
