- Victim three was found in dense woodland,

a half a mile from an industrial estate

on the edge of the town.

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX

An early morning jogger noticed a piece of blue material

under a bush,

and upon investigation discovered the body.

As you can see, the victim has no visible wounds,

no cuts or scratches on his hands

which might indicate he's tried to defend himself.

- Interesting.

So again, the victim was compliant.

- [Man] Right.

- So he puts his victims through a horrible ordeal

but the torture is not physical,

and he doesn't need to inflict pain

to get aroused.

It's more mental.

- Correct.

The torture is mostly mental.

- He obviously gets intense pleasure

from a asserting power.

- And enjoys feelings of superiority.

- Maybe he fantasises about physical torture?

- Maybe, but there's been nothing

at any of the scenes to indicate this.

So what do you think?

[thunder rumbling] [rain splattering]

[indistinct police radio chatter]

[siren blaring]

- Is that the husband?

- Yeah.

I know he shouldn't be here

but we can't get him to leave.

[rain splattering]

[slow, dramatic music]

- Looks like another one.

- The suspect is white.

Male, in his 20's.

He's unlikely to be married,

but if he is

it's a very dysfunctional relationship.

- [Man] I agree.

Do you want to see them one more time?

- Oh yes, please.

He's alienated.

He's lonely

and withdrawn.

His victims

all appear to be people who are

outgoing, loved by others.

So he renders them

worse off than himself.

- You can see how close your profile is

to three of the seven suspects questioned.

But which one is my killer?

- Well, I think that William Archer

is the most likely,

even though he has no prior,

not even a traffic violation.

Something about his family background.

[phone ringing]

- [Man] You have to answer that?

- I think so.

Hello? - [Chris] DCI O'Neil?

- Yes, speaking.

- [Chris] DCI Chris Medwynter here.

We've got what looks like a second victim

at the Ham murder in Wimbledon

if you want to come down and take a look.

- Uh, is the victim still at the scene?

- [Chris] No, afraid not.

- Nevermind, nevermind.

Can you give me the address?

- [Chris] Sure, you got a pen?

- Yeah, I have a pen.

- [Chris] It's 70 Lawson Road, and that's Wimbledon.

- Yeah, yeah.

- [Chris] So shall I tell them you're on your way?

- Yeah, would you tell them that I'll be about

20 minutes.

- [Chris] No problem, I'll let them know.

- Okay, thank you, bye.

- Sounds serious.

- Yes, I'm gonna have to go.

[paper tearing]

I'll be in touch.

- [Man] Okay, speak to you soon.

- Just a second.

Was I right?

- Yep.

William Archer, executed 1983.

[thunder clapping] [suspenseful theme music]

[indistinct chattering]

- Got any sense out of him yet?

- We're still trying to sober him up.

Doc says he's hyperventilating.

- Can you blame him?

- DCI Chris Medwynter.

DI Frances O'Neil. - Hi.

This is DI Ricky Glover.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Well, I'm told you like to see the scene hot.

Second in five days,

both battered to a pulp.

If you want to make a start,

I'll join you as soon as I've finished out here.

- Right.

[indistinct police radio chatter]

- Terry Beale, family liaison.

- How do you do?

- Doctor's just about to leave.

Do you wanna talk to the husband?

- Not at the moment, thanks.

[doorbell ringing]

How are you getting on in there?

- [Man] Just give me a few minutes.

- Excuse me, is it all right to come in?

I'm Frances O'Neil, profiler.

- Roger Ball, crime scene coordinator.

You'll have to work round us I'm afraid.

- Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[suspenseful music]

- Excuse me.

- How long do you need?

- I'm afraid as long as it takes.

I'd like to see all the rooms.

What was the victim's name?

- Claire Savage.

She was a dental receptionist.

Husband came home to quite a horror.

[man sobbing] [indistinct chatter]

- I can't think straight.

She was my wife, my wife!

- Martin, Martin, your sister's on her way.

She's gonna take you back to hers.

- No, no!

I'm gonna be sick!

- Okay.

[Martin gagging]

- [Chris] They've finished in the bedroom

so no need for the mask and hood.

[siren faintly peeling]

- You're going to need a very good

forensic biologist in this.

Who have you got?

- Dr. Ward.

She's already been and gone.

- Davina, well she's the best.

I haven't worked with her in a while.

Well,

the rest of the room looks immaculate.

But the bed's unmade.

The husband came home what time?

- We can't get a statement out of him yet.

- What was she wearing when he found her?

- Sweatshirt top and naked from the waist down.

[slow, suspenseful music]

- Interesting set of drawers.

[man sobbing]

What does the husband do?

- Cable TV installation.

[camera clicking]

- Sorry, I wonder if I can have a look round to here?

- Yeah sure, we're nearly done in here.

- Go ahead, thanks very much.

[indistinct chattering]

[slow, suspenseful music]

[indistinct police radio chatter]

- [Martin] Why, why!

Dear God why!

My Claire!

- Come on, Martin love.

You have to.

- Poor man, to come home and find your wife like that.

[Martin sobbing]

- Unless he killed her.

- [Chris] Victim one, Elizabeth Peel,

46 year old school teacher.

- Widow, lived alone.

Found murdered five days ago in her house at Ham.

Poor woman.

She was conscious while this was happening.

- Multiple fractures to almost all her body.

Broken fingers, arms, ribs.

But apparently it was two blows to the head that killed her.

- Could you hold it there, Chris?

Could you just go back a bit?

Stop there.

I wonder could you show me the victim in the chair again?

What's she tied with?

Can you zoom in closer?

- Gaffer tape.

Same as the one last night.

They were both gagged with it too.

- First, tying the victim to a chair.

Then beating, then murdering.

All the databases have been checked

for similar MO, haven't they?

- Of course.

- And?

- Nothing remotely similar.

- Have you checked for local burglars

with a history of violent crime?

- Is the Pope Catholic?

- As sure as the English are heathens.

The ransacking seems a bit half hearted.

Not the work of an experience burglar,

if you know what I mean.

- Very little has been taken from either of the victims.

Mainly cash.

We're still waiting for Martin Savage

to get his head together.

Then again, maybe he's playing out for a reason.

- Has he asked you anything?

- No, no witnesses, no weapon,

no forensic evidence

and no evidence of sexual assault.

- What about Claire Savage?

She was found naked from the waist down, wasn't she?

- Yeah, the pathologist indicated sexual assault

was possible.

Let's hope forensics can give us something.

[traffic whirring]

[phone ringing]

- [Intercom Voice] Attention to staff,

attention to staff.

Could the duty drugs officer please contact...

[water splashing]

[phone ringing]

- Come on baby, you're all I've got.

Bingo.

- So Peter says, "What's going on?"

And the nun says, "Well, your excellency,

if I'm gonna have to gargle with that stuff

I wanna do it before Sister Mary Thomas

sticks her ass in it."

[chuckling]

- If we was overtime we'd be quids in.

- Speak for yourself.

I'm still on half pay.

[slow, suspenseful music]

[tapping on door]

- The team's waiting.

- Will you just give me a couple of seconds?

[indistinct chatter]

- Do you think she is to murder investigations

what Glen Hoddle's faith healer was to English football?

- Let's hope not.

- My job is to try and get inside

the mind of our killer.

I have to try and think like him.

And the only way I can do that is with your help.

Profiling.

I can't build a profile without information.

I need you to feed me every last piece of information

and to keep me informed,

about even the smallest of details.

Now I understand that up to this point

you've been taking this to be a case

of burglary gone wrong.

Well,

burglary as a motive doesn't sit with me at all.

Firstly, our killer is socially skilled.

He's talked his way into these houses.

That's not something you would expect from a burglar.

Secondly, the ransacking seems very random

and half-hearted.

Not the work of a professional burglar

who knows what he's looking for.

Now this could indicate staging.

- You mean the killer

is trying to throw us off the scent?

- Possible,

let's have a look at this very simple formula.

Why, plus when,

plus where,

plus how,

equals who?

Firstly, why?

Why are these two women victims?

They are not typical victims of serial killers.

Victims of serials tend to be hitchhikers,

elderly people, prostitutes,

people whose lifestyles make them vulnerable.

No, our victims are not from a high risk group.

They seem to have been chosen.

Something links them both to the killer.

And we have to find that link.

Now this is

a very basic... [paper rustling]

Now this is a very basic lifestyle chart

that I've started putting together

for Elizabeth Peel

from statements given by her close friends and family.

It's quite easy to build up a picture

of her current lifestyle,

her various circles of friends and acquaintances,

her routines,

where she shopped,

places that she visited regularly.

This should eventually give us

a fairly comprehensive picture of who she was.

Now, if we were to do the same thing for Claire Savage

we would be able to pin them up side by side

and immediately spot the overlaps.

Now these then are the areas to target.

- Could the victims have known the killer?

- Yes, very possibly.

Or he might've gained entry by subterfuge.

He certainly didn't like breaking into places.

I mean that's for certain.

He might purport to be some sort of service engineer.

- We've already checked all the service industries

for the first murder, ma'am.

There's no record of them being in the area on that day.

- What about a bogus official perhaps?

- Could be a woman hater.

- What about Claire Savage's husband?

He works for a cable TV company.

Easy access to private homes.

Is he a suspect?

- [PC] Open your mouth please, Mr. Savage.

- Chris, Davina Ward.

Claire Savage's swabs, I found semen.

Yes, a control swab is being taken from the husband.

I'm hoping to rush it through.

I'll get the results to you as soon as possible.

- So, we've covered the why, when and where.

Now let's look at the how.

How were these two women killed?

Well, our killer's signature

lies in the ritualistic nature of the beatings,

tied to chairs,

left facing the door.

That's probably a deliberate shock tactic

aimed at the victim's loved ones.

Now this may give us a bigger clue as to the why.

Hatred and revenge might be the killer's motives.

I believe the beatings are very important to him.

They telling me that

he's carrying a great deal of rage inside him.

And that he's most unlikely to be able

to hold down a close term relationship with someone.

- Most of the blokes I know

fall into that category.

- Could I have a volunteer?

Terry, do you mind.

- Go on, Banksy.

- [Officer] You're a naughty boy then Bealey.

- Now both victims sustained multiple fractures

as a result of the beatings,

but the actual cause of death

was a lethal blow to the temple.

Suppose that in both instances

the first blow

was aimed at the back of the head here.

[woman gasping]

We know the weapon used was blunt ended,

some kind of club or piping.

The first blow would probably

have knocked the victim unconscious,

giving our killer time to bind them to the chair.

But maybe he wants them to be conscious

throughout the beatings,

before delivering the second lethal blow to the temple.

[moaning]

What does the nature of the blows to the head tell us?

- That he's a sick bastard.

- The killer knows where to strike.

- Exactly.

- And he's also forensically aware.

Forensics found no foreign fingerprints

or significant fibres at the first scene.

- Correct.

Now that tends to indicate that he will probably

fall into one of three categories.

One, an experienced criminal

who probably spent some time in prison

and has learned a lot about police procedure.

Two, someone who's relatively intelligent,

reads a lot and has gained the information from books.

Or three,

someone who works within the criminal justice system itself

or has links with someone who does.

- So when will we get a detailed profile of our killer?

- What kind of profile would you like?

Off the cuff or off the shelf

or off the wall?

Or a dramatic moment when I tell you

that he's six foot two,

blonde, blue eyed, muscular.

- Counts me out.

[group chuckling]

- No offence, Becky.

It's just a joke,

but joking apart

I firmly believe that we have a serial killer on our hands.

And I believe that right now

the heat of his rage is at its peak,

which is why these two murders happened

so closely together.

We must therefore work fast for two reasons.

Either the rage will make him need to kill again,

and soon,

or it will temporarily subside

and make him return to normality

becoming much more difficult to trace.

Either way, we are looking for a very dangerous killer,

and one that would probably kill again.

[eerie music]

- Bit of a disco diva, are you?

- No, it's for reflecting bad chi out of the buildings.

Feng Shui principles.

- Well you won't be needing your crystal ball.

We have a possible suspect.

The receptionist at Claire Savage's gym

has just called in,

reckons that Claire was playing away from home

with a plumber called Gary Little.

- Plumber, well that does make sense.

Easy access to private homes.

And it looked as if she's just had a new kitchen fitted.

- She thinks Claire was planning to see this plumber

on Sunday night.

If it's true, the semen found in Claire Savage could be his.

We're picking him up now.

- Bloody hell.

It's the exact description O'Neil gave us.

Has he got blue eye?

Gary Little?

- Yeah?

- [Man] I'll book him in.

[suspenseful music]

[woman gasping]

- Ma'am, can I have a word?

- Just a moment.

This is important?

- Well, yes.

It's important to me.

Has the governor talked to you about me?

- No.

- Oh, well I'm only doing four hours a day at the moment,

but I'm very interested in profiling,

and Chris thinks it'd be a good idea for me

to come back full time and work side by side with you.

- Chris?

- Sorry, DCI Medwynter.

- Oh, why are you only doing four hours?

- He just thought I needed a break

after the last case, that's all.

- Why?

- Well, I was a family liaison officer

on a particularly emotional case.

It was a murder case.

- Every murder is emotional, Becky.

- But some more than others.

It was the Tarrance Ashby case.

Father accused of abusing

and then murdering his own daughter.

I got very close to the family,

and believe totally and utterly

that the father was an innocent man.

He used me, [slow music]

and I didn't see through him.

I tried to protect him,

but it turned out that he had done it.

He'd, um,

he'd killed the little girl.

She was seven.

- And you felt guilty about it.

- No, not at all.

I did find it very difficult

to disassociate myself

from the pain and the emotion in their house.

- All form of emotional pain

takes a long time to get over, Becky.

- I'm aware of that.

But I've had counselling,

and they thought I was ready to come back to work.

I'd really like to work with you.

- Leave it with me.

- Can I help?

- I hope so.

I'm looking for the personal effects

belonging to our first victim,

Elizabeth Peel.

- Elizabeth Peel is JPW one through 33.

- I'd like to see her wallet

and her filofax, if that's possible.

[bags rustling]

- [Man] There you go. - Thank you.

Could I see the filofax now?

- It has been checked.

Been through that pretty thoroughly, you know.

[suspenseful music]

Do you have a ruler or anything?

- [Man] Will these do?

- Thank you.

- [Man] Good God.

- I'm going to have to take this.

Gary Little.

Well our plumber has been busy.

- No wonder this bugger's refusing

to give us a DNA sample.

Glover and Western are in with him now.

I'd be very interested to see how our plumber

talks his way out of this.

- I'd like to look over those interview tapes

when they're finished, if that's all right?

- Be my guest.

- Chris, Becky Longton came to see me.

She said she wants to come back to work full time.

- Oh yes.

I was wondering whether you could take her under your wing.

She had a bit of a tough time in the last case.

Needs to build up her confidence again.

- Sorry, I just don't think that's advisable.

In fact, I think you're taking a risk

having her on the case at all.

- How do you mean?

- Well, she still seems to be a bit rather stressed.

- Aren't we all?

- She told me about the Ashby case.

Family liaison officer gets to close to the family.

Starts to side with them becoming anti-police.

- I know, textbook stuff.

But Becky Longton's a damn good officer.

- I'm sure she is.

I'm just saying that in my experience,

Stockholm Syndrome takes more than a few months to get over.

- And if I didn't think she was up to it

I wouldn't have asked for her to be on this case.

- Fine.

But I'd rather not have her working with me,

if that's all right.

- No problem.

- Some more for you doc.

- Oh thanks.

- You hear about Mother Teresa,

finding the plumber's business card

in the first victim's filofax.

- Mother Teresa?

- DI O'Neil.

She used to be a nun.

- I knew who you meant.

I think you should show some more respect,

Detective Constable.

She's considerably higher up the ranks than you are.

Well, well. [suspenseful music]

Whoever had sex with Claire Savage,

it certainly wasn't her husband.

- They don't match?

- They don't match.

- [Glover] How long have you known Claire Savage?

- Not long.

Maybe six months.

It's like I said.

I got talking to her at the gym a couple of times,

and then I went round their house to do another job, okay?

- [Western] When was that?

- Sunday afternoon.

- [Western] What time?

- [Little] Four, half four.

- [Western] And how long did you stay?

- An hour,

an hour and a half, maybe.

She um,

she was having trouble with her dishwasher.

- [Western] You're dedicated.

Not many plumbers I know would do a call out on a Sunday.

- [Glover] Were you having an affair with Claire Savage?

- No.

- [Glover] Did you have sex with her?

- No!

- [Western] Sunday.

- [Glover] Were you having an affair with Claire Savage?

- No.

- [Glover] Did you have sex with her?

- [Little] No!

Leave it out!

- [Glover] Have you ever worked for a Mrs. Elizabeth Peel

of Sandbank Lane, Ham?

- [Little] Doesn't ring any bells.

- [Glover] Perhaps you could tell me how your business card

ended up in her filofax.

- No I couldn't, actually.

I mean she could have got it from anywhere.

I give out hundreds of cards.

That's how I get my business.

- [Glover] Filofax?

- No, I couldn't actually.

I mean, she could have got it from anywhere.

No, I couldn't actually.

I mean she could have got it from anywhere.

I give out hundreds of cards.

That's how I get my business - he's finally agreed

to give a swab.

But he's not happy about it.

I think he's lying

about his relationship with Claire Savage.

- So do I,

but I don't think he's a serial killer.

Watch this.

- [Glover] Known Claire Savage?

- Not long, maybe six months.

- [Glover] How'd you meet her?

- Got talking to her down at the gym.

She wanted me for a new washing machine.

- Truthful people give statements using the first person

singular pronoun, I.

Any change in pronouns is significant.

See, most of his answers commence with I

until we get to the sex question.

Now look.

- [Glover] You having an affair with Claire Savage?

- No.

- [Glover] Did you have sex with her?

- [Little] No!

- Now you see, his answer is simply no.

- So you're saying he's not our killer

because he leaves out the odd pronoun?

- Of course not.

We've still got to test his DNA sample.

- Thank God for that.

- Anything from the house?

Work address?

- Nothing yet.

The only connections we have are

that he was probably screwing Claire Savage

and his business card just happened to be

inside Elizabeth Peel's filofax.

[classical piano music]

- So I take it you've given up on the Weight Watchers.

- Oh no, not at all.

I have discovered this fantastic new diet

called Zone Eating.

And you eat need anything

as long as it's only the same size as your fist.

- So how do you justify having...

- Oh you can't stick to that kind of thing

when you're eating out, can you?

- Absolutely.

[glasses clinking]

So tell me about Medwynter.

- Well, he's not very tall

but he's sly.

I've worked with him on quite a few cases now.

I think he's a decent enough chap.

- Is he married?

- I believe so.

But as with most senior detectives,

I suspect his work

gets more attention than his wife does.

Why do you ask?

- Just curious.

He seems a bit

over-protective

of a young, female detective.

- Well, put it this way,

it won't be the first time.

Rumour has it he's a bit of a one for the ladies,

but don't quote me.

- You know, you're going to have that engraved

on your tombstone.

Here lies Davina Ward,

but don't quote me.

So are you going to be able to

rush through our plumber's DNA sample all right?

- Oh yes.

Even as we eat

one of my minions is onto it.

Should the results for you by sometime tomorrow morning.

[fax machine humming]

Frances is not going to like this.

Looks like Medwynter could be right.

It's a match.

Plumber left his calling card, all right.

Right inside Claire Savage.

- Take a look again, Gary.

How did your business card come to be

inside Elizabeth Peel's filofax?

- Like I said,

I got my boy to do a card drop in the Ham area.

Months back.

- Very convenient.

When you were interviewed yesterday,

you told DI Glover

you'd not had sex with Claire Savage.

Is that true?

- Yes.

- Gary,

a comparison has been made

between the sample you gave us last night

and the semen found in Claire Savage.

The DNA analysis shows that your sample

gives a profile of one in a billion of the population.

- So?

- It'd be enough to charge in a rape case if we pushed.

- Just hold on a minute.

I didn't rape her.

Actually it was just a bit insane.

But I didn't rape her!

I was screwing her for the last six months, all right?

- [Chris] Hold on.

- I did not kill her.

I mean,

I was seeing her, that's all.

I was sleeping with her.

But I didn't kill her.

- Tell me about Sunday, Gary.

- She called me.

She said she wanted to talk to me urgently.

She said she wanted me to leave my wife.

- And you didn't want to?

- I...

I just told her I didn't want to get into it with her.

And then we had...

- Had sex? - Yes.

We had sex.

But I left.

[woman gasping]

- [Chris] What time was that?

- Six o'clock.

[indistinct chatter]

She was still in her bed!

[woman moaning]

- Gary, why did you lie when we asked you about this before?

- I lied

'cause I love my wife.

I love her.

- [Wilson] Could I have a few minutes

alone with my client, please? [Gary sobbing]

- Make it quick, will you?

- For the purposes of the tape,

Mr. Little's solicitor, Archie Wilson

has requested a break.

- The solicitor's asked for a break, but you heard him.

He admitted he did have sex with the victim.

All I have to do now is prove his connection

to Elizabeth Peel.

- He didn't do it.

[indistinct police radio chatter]

[suspenseful music]

- So there's definitely no other way

to access the flat?

- [Man] Not without a 50 foot ladder, no.

- Do we know what Dr. Ward's gonna be able to get here?

- She's on her way.

Should be here any minute.

[indistinct police radio chatter]

[dog barking]

- [Reporter] Can you tell us anything yet?

Do you have anything to say to the press?

- [Man] Now then, Davina.

- How do they do it?

- Scanned police frequencies usually.

Get them out of here!

I want another cordon at the end of the street.

- Come on lad, give us some space.

- I understand no one's entered the flat yet?

- No, the body is right up against the door.

- So how do you know he's dead?

- Well the first PC on the scene forced the lock

and reached an arm around to check the guy's pulse.

- Oh well, well.

Glad to see my crime scene training package

is finally getting through to them.

- Jesus!

- Not quite,

but I'd say the next best thing.

[motor humming]

- Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase flying nun,

doesn't it?

- Can you pass me another platform please?

One day I'll get through to you

non-scientists about wearing masks.

I hope you're not intending to breathe.

Can you ask the crime scene coordinator

to send up more platforms and keep them coming.

- Right.

[suspenseful music]

She needs more platforms.

- Up you go then, Bull.

Find out what's going on up there.

- Shit, I'm not very good with heights.

- [Ward] Lights aren't working.

No power.

Obviously not paid his bills.

Oh, hope you've got a strong stomach.

Looks like there's been one hell of a scuffle.

- Oh, so how did he get down there?

It's a classic case of Humpty Dumpty.

As they say at home,

did he fall or was he pushed?

- He can't have been pushed

or how would the killer have got out

with the body blocking the door?

Now I reckon the killer attacked our friend up here

and left him for dead at the top of the stairs.

- Maybe he was disturbed before he finished the job.

So the killer leaves.

Mr. Arnold regains consciousness momentarily

and in an attempt to get help,

he tries to get to the door and takes a tumble.

- Possibly.

- Seems clean enough in here.

Suppose we better have a look in there.

[lock rattling]

[eerie music]

- Geez!

Serious satanist.

- Unless the changing rooms teams

are getting more eccentric.

- What's going on?

- It looks like we could have another one.

Bloke's been murdered in his own flat.

We couldn't get in, so.

- Bloke?

Well the others were women,

are you sure this is linked?

- I don't know anything for sure until I can get in.

Ward and O'Neil are up there now,

but nobody's telling me anything.

O'Neil has very conveniently got her mobile switched off.

[suspenseful music]

- [Forensics] I've got the camera.

Where do you want me to start?

- Can you do a close up on the pattern of blood.

I need to establish the point of origin.

Almost ready for you, sunshine.

Multiple stab wounds.

As well as a blow to the back of the head.

I don't think he's been dead for too long.

But no doubt the pathologist can correct me.

We'll need to take some samples here.

[suspenseful music]

Can you get a close up of his hands?

Bruising around the wrists.

But then they were probably tied.

Blood under the fingernails.

Good, good.

- What do you think?

Is this one linked?

- Too soon to say, I'm afraid.

Let's get his hands bagged.

You put up a bit of a fight, old boy, didn't you?

- [Man] No, please, please, oh no!

- There's a son.

- And this is his hell

by the looks of it.

- Neighbour said something about a missing cat.

- The stench is of rotting animal carcasses.

- God, this is disgusting.

- There are two dead rats under the bed.

- What is this, devil worship?

Surely this murder can't be linked to the other two.

- My instinct tells me it is.

- Yes, well, we'll need a little more than instinct

if we're gonna treat this as the third in the series.

If this is the same killer,

it lets my plumber off the hook

because I was interviewing him when this bloke got it.

[suspenseful music]

[indistinct chatter]

- All right, everybody.

Settle down, settle down.

Sam have you got a preliminary victim profile

for Henry Arnold?

- Not many friends, not married.

Plays pool down at his local pub,

a couple of convictions for indecent exposure

and several for child abuse.

Been in and out of prison for the last 15 years.

- Any news on tracing Arnold's son?

- Not yet.

- Are we treating him as a suspect?

- For now, yes.

- We're running the fingerprints through the database?

Just waiting for results.

Matt's been going through every scrap of paper

in the old man's flat,

but as yet has come up with nothing.

It's as if the son didn't exist.

None of the neighbours know his name,

nothing on voters.

We're hoping to get something from the DSS.

They're checking their records.

- Well, we need to fast track that action

and get ahold of him.

There was evidence of Satanism in that house.

For the moment he's our prime suspect for the murders.

- Hold on, surely we're not saying this one is linked?

Well it was a man,

there was no chair,

it was a stabbing not a beating,

no gaffer tape, no ransacking?

- Yes I agree, it seems unlikely,

but DI O'Neil assures me that Henry Arnold

is the third victim of our killer.

- Based on what?

- There are four very strong reasons

for treating this murder as part of the series.

Well firstly, it occurred within a 10 mile radius

of the other two.

Essentially the same area.

Secondly, he was killed in his own home

without any evidence of a break-in.

Thirdly, he had a wound to the back of his head

almost identical to the other two.

And lastly,

but most importantly,

was the nature of the stabbing.

Yes, he was stabbed and not beaten,

but the fact that the stab wounds were multiple

indicated a frenzied attack

mirroring the beatings handed out to the other two victims.

All that's changed is the weapon.

The pattern is exactly the same.

- So why no chair?

- Well, we talked before about staging.

Our killer is intelligent.

I think he's tried to throw us off the scent again.

He wants us to think that this one is not linked,

but as far as I'm concerned

it would be a mistake

to treat this as a separate investigation.

- But what about the plumber?

If we're saying that this is linked

then we have to rule him out as a suspect.

- I don't believe he's our killer.

- Gov?

- We don't have enough evidence to charge him.

- Okay.

So if it's not the plumber,

are you saying Arnold's son is our serial killer?

- Possibly.

- Only possibly.

Well if it's not him,

who are we looking for?

I mean the Arnold murder blows the woman hater theory

out of the water, doesn't it?

- The fact that the killer

crossed the gender divide is very unusual

and seems to indicate

that the motive is more personal than sexual.

It's like I said before,

linking the victim to the killer is the key.

- If we knew who he was we'd be quids in then.

[chuckling]

- Well is he white, black?

What's his age, his occupation?

- Records indicate that this type of killer

tends to be white, male, in his 20's,

socially skilled, low self image,

who inflicts pain not for his own sake,

like sexual sadist might,

but because he believes

that they deserve punishment.

- White male, socially skilled, low self image.

Well that narrows it down to a few million.

[men chuckling]

- Henry Arnold is black.

And the only suspect we have at the moment is his son.

Are you saying tracing him is a waste of time?

- No, as I said before

we can't rule him out as a suspect at this stage.

Now can we move on?

Sam, do we have any names of any of the children

that Henry Arnold abused?

- Not right now,

but I can easily find out.

- I go back to hatred and revenge as being the motives.

Whoever carried out these murders

had a reason to hate these people in particular.

Maybe abuse is the key.

- But neither of the women had any kind of record

of being abusers.

- Even so, I think we should get hold

of the social services files on the children

Henry Arnold abused.

We have to follow up every possible lead.

Who's got the lifestyle chart for Claire Savage?

- Me.

I've started one for Henry Arnold as well.

[indistinct chatter]

- Now are there any obvious overlaps

that jump out at anyone?

No?

- I've already looked at the first two

and there really seems to be nothing that links them.

- Yes that's certainly seems to be the case.

- So basically they don't tell us anything.

[slow music]

- That's not so.

These charts only give us the victim's

recent lifestyle patterns.

The fact that there appears to be no overlap

strongly suggests that the link could be in the past.

Even more reason to check out

Henry Arnold's history of abusing.

Do you have an interim report we could see?

- I'm afraid I don't do reports.

Profiling is not an exact science.

I can only guide you.

- Well, that's it.

Or did I miss something?

We started out with two suspects.

Now we have none.

- So we're back to square one?

- No, we're not.

As I've already stated,

it is likely that your killer will have local connections,

and that I think your priority should be

to discover the link between the victims.

- Right, link or no link

tracing Henry Arnold's son is our priority.

We need to find out if he's gone from butchering cats

to battering people.

As she said, profiling is not an exact science.

- There she goes.

Nun on the run.

[group chuckling]

[suspenseful music]

[tapping on door]

- We need to talk.

- You're damn right we do.

I heard that nun on the run crack.

I am sick to death of people thinking

that I've hopped about,

dabbling in different professions on a whim.

What they fail to understand

is that each move I have made

has been the result of years of studying and training.

You do not get a psychology degree

by kneeling down and praying!

And if you and your testosterone charged mob

don't want to show me some respect

then why did you take me on to this case

in the first place?

- I was told the Celtic Tiger guaranteed a quick kill.

- Was that so?

- Look, you have to understand

it's difficult enough for the team to accept an outsider

coming in and telling them their job.

But when she's Irish,

and an ex nun,

and doesn't do reports.

- I see.

- You're also a very private person, Frances.

You're not easy to get to know.

- I have lived a very [slow, sombre music]

solitary life.

It's difficult

to divorce myself

from the vows I once took.

- Look, I know we got off on the wrong foot.

- Because I wouldn't work with Becky Longton.

- Well...

- Perhaps I was a bit hard on her.

- And maybe I should've listened to you.

- Maybe, but I shouldn't have refused to work with her.

She is, as you said, a very good officer.

So I am sorry.

- Well, nevermind that now.

Let's just start afresh.

Ball's in your court.

- You might regret it.

- Try me.

- Tell me, what have you heard a new process

called genetic e-fitting?

- DNA testing is moving so fast

that we've now developed this new technique called SGM Plus.

- Sounds like a new vitamin pill.

It's like a sauna in here.

- The air conditioning never works in here

and these machines throw off so much heat.

Chris, Frances, this is Eric the imaging enhancer

I've been working with.

He's gonna give us a quick demo.

Sit your bum down there, Chris.

So SGM Plus works by using a new chemical enzyme

to amplify more regions of DNA.

This means we can get results from the tiniest of samples.

Down under, the Aussies reckon they can get a profile

when an offender just touches a surface.

SGM Plus also makes it much more likely

that the sample will be unique.

In fact it's so powerful that the chance of someone else

sharing the same DNA profile as a suspect

is smaller than one in a billion.

It's a fantastic breakthrough.

- And you've got enough DNA

just from the skin scrapings

found under Henry Arnold's fingernails?

- Indeed.

- So how do you get from DNA to an e-fit?

- Well, once we've got a DNA profile

we can read out the genetic code

and translate it into physical characteristics.

Say for example we want to identify the gene

which we know means a person has brown eyes.

Voila, then we might find the gene

that indicates a cleft chin.

Then the gene for a button nose.

The more genes we can identify

the more accurate the picture becomes.

What do you think?

- I don't know what I think.

It's amazing stuff, but let's face it.

Those skin scrapings,

they could be his own

- Or they could be our killer's.

Your decision.

[upbeat big band music]

- How are you getting on with Frances then?

- Well, she's certainly made some interesting career moves.

Detective Inspector into profiling.

And before that...

- Stop fishing.

- Rumour has it she had stigmata as a child.

- Rumours?

- Come on, I'm just interested.

Is all this wimple stuff true?

- Well, I don't know about the wimple,

but I do know she joined a strict Catholic order

at quite a young age.

- Giving him my CV, are you?

Lager, gin and tonic and a San Pellegrino with ice

and a twist of lemon for me.

- [Chris] Sounds good, what is it?

- Water.

- Of course, cheers.

- [Women] Cheers.

- So what do you think?

You gonna let me get my hands on at least

part of your budget for this experiment?

- I'm still not convinced.

How long would it take you?

- Who knows?

I've never done it before.

No one's ever done it before.

It's all theory at the moment.

- Well, I can't spend my budget on a theory.

Look, give it to me straight.

What do I get for my money?

- I'm going to grow your killer's head.

- [Man] Father Mark!

Father Mark!

I just want you to know it's over here.

[footsteps tapping]

Look, you see?

- Oh dear.

[eerie organ music]

You think that's him?

- Probably.

[suspenseful music]

- Tyler?

Tyler?

- Frances.

- Have you seen the newspapers this morning?

- They've traced Henry Arnold's son.

He's been staying at a halfway house in Kingston.

Henry Arnold was granted custody of Tyler

when Tyler's mother died of an overdose 10 years ago.

[dramatic music]

- This is Father Mark.

- DCI Chris Medwynter, DI Frances O'Neil

You made the call, right?

- Yes.

Now Tyler's not going to hurt anybody.

He's just sick.

The poor boy is sick.

- Yes, well this is a murder inquiry, Father,

and that sick boy is suspect.

Do you know if he's armed?

- No, I don't think so.

- Ricky, you come in with us

and Matt, you stay here and wait for backup.

- Tyler?

Tyler?

- He's gone.

- He can't have gone,

we locked all the doors.

[eerie music] - He's over by the window.

- Oh my God.

Tyler, Tyler!

[eerie voices chanting]

- Let me have a chance

to talk him down.

- How the hell do we get him then?

- Tyler.

- Just give me one minute.

- I don't know Frances,

he looks pretty out of it.

- Yeah and if he jumps he'll hang himself.

- All right.

[suspenseful music]

- Tyler,

Is your name Tyler?

Don't be frightened.

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Look at me.

Are you frightened?

Are you hiding up there?

Just, just keep looking at me.

That's it, no one's going to hurt you.

Look at me.

Is someone trying to hurt you?

Is that why you've climbed up there?

- Yes.

Christ is coming.

The millennium is here.

Got no time left.

- Oh I see.

You mean

when the thousand years have elapsed.

- Christ will return to defeat Satan.

- Revelations 20, verse seven.

- Yes.

Yes, verse seven.

- So it's the devil

[eerie music]

that doesn't have time.

Is that it, Tyler?

- Yes.

I'm the devil.

- Who told you?

- My father.

- It isn't true.

- Yes, it is.

He told me and now he's dead.

- If you are the devil

can you tell me how he died?

- I pierced his heart with a stake.

I twisted it and turned it

and I wrenched his heart out.

- I know that you did not kill your father.

Just look me in the eyes!

No more lies.

It's all over now.

- I opened the door

and saw him.

Now I'll burn in hell.

I made a pact with the devil.

I wanted him dead.

I wanted him to die!

- Look at me.

I want to make another pact.

I want you to live.

I want you to come with me.

I will take care of you.

My name is Frances.

- Promise me, Frances.

- I promise you.

- No!

[Frances screaming]

[sombre music] [Frances sobbing]

- Why!

I promised.

He was coming down to me.

Oh God.

Give me the strength to understand your will.

[Frances panting]

The poor boy was so sick.

I got inside his head,

but for a while he got inside mine.

I just worry that my work is taking over.

You know, I even spend my spare time

working on case files on the internet

with a profiler in America.

It's become obsessive.

And it scares me.

I just don't know how long I can go on like this,

day in, day out.

How can I be sure that the evil won't overtake me?

- Because your faith is stronger than that.

You're doing God's work.

- Sometimes it doesn't feel like that.

- You've been blessed with a very special gift.

You must embrace that gift

and face the evil.

Safe in the knowledge that God will protect you.

- Tyler.

That was the poor boy's name.

On the surface he seemed so evil.

But I felt his innocence. [church bells peeling]

Somehow it had remained intact,

despite all the abuse he had received.

I also

saw death in his eyes.

His death.

And I wanted to save him.

But I was too late.

I always thought that I could detect and confront evil,

but it's not so simple.

Have you ever seen a pure, shiny apple

in a fruit bowl

and felt your mouth watering,

but when you pick it up

the underside is rotten,

but you couldn't see it

until the position was disturbed?

- Evil can stand in the shadow of goodness.

That's why.

- Tell me how to draw it out of the shadows.

- Use your training.

And your gift.

[keyboard clicking]

- [Frances] I go back to hatred and revenge

as being the motives.

Whoever carried out these murders

had a reason to hate these people in particular.

[keyboard clicking]

[suspenseful music]

- Where have you been?

- I could ask you the same question.

I've been trying to ring you all morning.

Sorry, I've been catching up on some sleep.

I was here til three o'clock in the morning.

- I thought you'd taken off because of this.

- Yes, I've seen it.

I mean, who could be doing this to me?

- You?

It's me and my team that have been made a mockery of.

You may be able to sit on the fence

and refuse to make out reports,

but I have to.

Davina's spending money at a rate of knots.

And so far, all she's come up with is a blue eyed blob.

As far as I can tell we're back to square one

in this case.

- Not quite.

The social services files

on the children Henry Arnold abused.

- I have no time to go over them yet.

- And I have.

Henry Arnold lived with Mrs. Dorothy Jones for six years,

from 1980 to 1986.

Arnold was accused of abusing her daughter, Hannah.

The social services intervened

and the child, age 12,

was taken into care at Rackham House.

Now look at this.

I don't believe this. - What?

- Someone's changed Claire Savage's name on this report.

- Clare Savage?

- Yes, she was working Rackham House

at the same time Hannah Jones was there.

I scanned in most of the reports last night

to make them easier for cross referencing.

- You should know better than to leave things lying around,

particularly with somebody leaking stuff to the press.

- Yes, oh yes, here it is.

Now have a look at this.

This is March 1983.

This is reported by one of the social workers

at Rackham House.

- Hannah Jones was today caught pouring red paint

into the handbag of our administration assistant,

Claire Savage.

When questioned, Hannah refused to be drawn in a motive

for the acts,

saying only that Claire Savage deserved it.

- Now Claire Savage's name also appears in another report

which actually gives a description

of a fight between her and Hannah.

- So Hannah Jones is a link

between Claire Savage and Henry Arnold.

But how does she connect to Elizabeth Peel?

- I don't know yet.

I mean obviously we should try

and speak to this Hannah Jones,

but she might be difficult to trace.

But in the meantime

we have got an address for her mother.

Dorothy Jones now Dorothy Kaminski.

[doorbell ringing]

- Mrs. Kaminski?

- Yeah?

- DCI Chris Medwynter.

This is DI Frances and O'Neil.

Can we come in?

We need to talk to you.

- I read about it in the paper.

- Yes, Henry Arnold lived with you for a while, I believe?

- I lived with him for six years.

[hearing aid buzzing]

Sorry, something wrong with this thing.

Had it changed, it's not right.

They wouldn't give me my old one back.

- Mrs. Kaminski,

you do know that Henry Arnold is dead?

- Yeah.

And if I'd had the guts I'd have killed him myself.

- Why is that?

- Well, he did this to me.

- He beat you?

I'm sorry to have to ask you this,

but did he ever

tie you up in a chair?

[suspenseful music]

- Then he hit me with a bat.

- Mrs. Kaminski,

we need to ask you some questions

about your daughter, Hannah.

- My daughter?

- [Frances] Yeah.

- I don't know where she is.

They took her away from me.

I haven't seen her in nearly 15 years.

- I know that

Henry was accused of abusing her

and that's why they took her away.

- Do you have a photograph of Hannah, Mrs. Kaminski?

- Not a recent one.

- Could we see it anyway?

- I don't know where she is now.

This was taken in 1982.

She was 12.

- Can I ask you to take a look at this photograph.

Her name is Claire Savage.

She was an administration assistant

at Rackham House back in 1983.

Do you recognise her?

- No.

- And what about this woman?

Elizabeth Peel.

Please look at the photograph.

- No, I don't know her.

- You sure?

[hearing aid buzzing]

Mrs. Kaminski?

- No, I don't know her.

I don't know her.

- This woman is dead.

She was murdered.

- Mrs. Kaminski,

we only need to know if you knew this woman.

We're not here to question you about anything else.

And we really need your help.

- All right.

I did know her.

She was Elizabeth Duggan back then.

Lived next door to us.

A student, from a nice family.

- This woman?

- Well it was nearly 30 years ago.

She was...

- She was what, Mrs. Kaminski?

- She was too far gone to have an abortion.

Terrified her family would find out.

So I agreed to take her baby,

and it was never my real daughter.

But I did love her.

I still do.

- You mean you were adopted Elizabeth Peel's baby?

- Elizabeth was just a child herself.

I helped deliver the baby.

She was still at the university

and didn't want the responsibility.

So I took her baby,

and brought her up as my own.

- So this little girl is Elizabeth Peel's daughter?

- Yes.

[phone ringing]

- Sorry.

Hello?

- I've got a result for you.

Can you get over here?

I've got a face.

- Yeah, if you move Mrs. Kaminski to the safe house

on Waverley Road

and get a couple of suits to keep an eye

on her house in Streatham.

She could be the next victim.

Yeah, we're on our way there now.

No problem.

Talk to you in a bit.

- We've got him!

- Him, are you sure it's a man?

- Come and see for yourself.

- [Frances] So we're definitely looking for a man.

- Come on, Frances.

You know definite is not a word I like to use.

Why?

- [Frances] Well, I think our killer might be a woman.

- I see.

But we have identified two strands of DNA

where the weaker was Arnold's

and the stronger we were presuming was the killer's.

I suppose the XY could be Arnold's.

- Could you just take away those sideburns there?

[computer beeping]

And can you smooth out the skin,

just around the lips and the jaw?

[keyboard clicking]

And can you manipulate the hair

so it's bit longer.

- Yeah, sure.

How long do you want it?

- Just about a couple of inches at the nape.

How up are you on artificial ageing?

- No problem.

How old do you wanna make her?

- Well it's not her.

I wonder, could you scan a photo of this in

and age that girl by about 15 years?

- So you really think that Hannah Jones is...

- Well her mother said that after she left Rackham House

she cut all ties.

I mean it makes sense that she might have changed

her name as well.

- 15 years, you said?

[keyboard clicking]

[suspenseful music]

- Oh my God

- Can you just superimpose that image on that?

- I'll give it a go.

[keyboard clicking]

- You see, no two skulls

ever have identical measurements.

I am sorry, Chris.

I think we've

found our killer.

- You know who it is?

- Yes.

She's a detective.

Her name is Rebecca Longton.

[traffic whirring]

- It all makes sense.

Abandoned by her mother,

abused as a child and then bullied in care.

She tried to put it behind her.

She even changed her name.

But you can't suppress rage like that, can you?

- Suppress it?

She was a god damn police officer.

She suppressed it for years.

I even...

- Working on the Ashby case must have been the trigger.

All her childhood suffering came flooding back.

Her only way out was to

exercise her demons.

Kill everyone responsible,

even her own mother for bringing her into the world.

[phone ringing]

- Hello?

- [Glover] We're just around the corner from the house.

TSG are on their way.

- Good.

We should be with you in about five minutes.

Seal off the street,

and make sure the house is covered front and back.

[engines humming]

[indistinct chatter]

[knocking on door]

[indistinct police radio chatter]

- Go ahead.

All right, break it down.

[loud thudding]

Come on, let's go.

You two, upstairs with me.

[indistinct police radio chatter]

- Nothing in the bedroom.

It's like a hotel though, it's really neat.

- Completely nothing.

- [Chris] Hello BT?

[suspenseful music]

- Delight in weakness

and insults in hardships.

In persecutions,

in difficulties.

For when I am weak,

then I am strong.

[bird squawking]

Come out of the shadow.

- I'd really like to work with you.

The crime scene is a living document

of the offender's actions

and it is the basis for much

of the objective behavioural interpretation.

The victim is usually symbolic of the figure

in the killer's childhood

who inflicted severe and or psychological trauma.

So when will we get a detailed profile of our killer?

- What kind of profile would you like?

Off the cuff or off the shelf,

or off the wall?

- [Becky] Ma'am, can I have a word?

- Just a moment.

Is it important?

- Well, yes, it's important to me.

I was a family liaison officer

on a particularly emotional case.

It was a murder case.

- Every murder is emotional, Becky.

- I did find it very difficult to disassociate myself

from the pain and the emotion in the house.

- Frances?

Longton can't be far off.

VT just confirmed the last call she made

was at 3:26, exactly 28 minutes ago.

- Do you know who she called?

- Local taxi firm to take her to Stratham.

- Mrs. Kaminski.

- Yeah, they're radioing the driver for me now.

Matt, I want this place secured for forensics,

and get an OP across the road to keep an eye on it.

- Right.

- Let's go rookie.

- You don't want me for this, do you?

- No, I'll talk to you later.

- Fine.

- Right, we know from the taxi driver

that Longton was dropped off on Lacey Street,

two streets away from Mrs. Kaminski's house

at approximately 5:15.

Now she may have spotted the surveillance car

outside of Mrs. Kaminski's house

and sussed that we're onto her.

We know she's not been back to her flat.

Any news on friends?

- Most of them are in this room.

- We've contacted all the numbers on the phone

we found at the flat, but no one's heard from her.

We were also trying to get ahold of this

surveillance camera footage

from businesses in the Streatham area.

- Well, we've circulated her details

to all local cab firms, buses and tube stations.

So hopefully she won't get far.

[suspenseful music]

[Frances gasping]

I need you to find out

as much information about her past as you can.

Her relatives, friends, boyfriends.

- Don't have to look very far then.

- Shut the fuck up!

Anyone who might've hurt her could be the next victim.

We need to get her face on the news.

She's a police officer with a warrant card

and out of control,

which makes her a very dangerous lady.

[water splashing] [eerie music]

[Frances gasping]

- The bath, it'll overflow.

- Shut up.

You think I care?

[Frances grunting]

Stop that!

Stop that!

[Frances gagging]

Scream and I'll kill you.

[Frances gasping]

And stretch out your legs.

Do it.

Do it!

- How did you get in?

- I'm a police officer.

- Why me, why now?

- Because if it wasn't for you

I'd have gotten away with it.

I knew I could fool Medwynter.

But you, when they brought you in.

- So that's why you wanted to work with me.

- Had you fooled, didn't I?

I find it very difficult to dissociate myself

from the case.

Becky, every emotional pain

takes a long time to heal.

Well, let me tell you, it never does!

It comes back in your sleep!

In your dreams, when you wake, when you laugh,

when you cry, back it comes!

[phone ringing]

- [Frances] I'm afraid I'm not in at the moment,

please leave a message after the tone.

[phone beeping]

- [Chris] Frances, this is Chris.

Can you call me at the office ASAP, thanks.

- Wants a date, does he?

[phone beeping]

What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- What have you got in there?

- [Chris] Frances, are you there?

Hello, hello?

- Just be calm, Becky.

- You think you're so clever.

Just be calm, Becky.

I'm not stupid.

But you are.

I was right under your nose.

And you couldn't smell me.

Couldn't detect me.

Fact is, I'm cleverer than you.

I've even got the press on my side.

- What you're doing now

isn't very clever, Becky.

- Isn't it?

Well by the time they come looking for you

I'll be gone.

And you'll be the first thing that bastard sees

when he enters this house.

- Who?

- Don't make conversation.

You know who.

Chris.

Oh, sorry.

DCI, Medwynter.

And he'll finds you just like the other.

- But I'm not like the others.

I haven't caused you any pain.

- Haven't you?

Oh, you wanted me off the team, didn't you?

- I was worried about you.

I thought you were still deeply affected

by the stress of the Ashby case.

You know that little girl

was almost exactly the same age.

- Bullshit!

You just didn't want me getting in the way.

- I understand why you've done what you've done, Becky.

All those people, they caused you pain.

- Pain!

These people destroyed my life!

They deserve to know what they did to me!

- I understand.

- No you don't understand!

You don't know what it feels like

to find out your own mother

rejected you before you even entered the world!

She gave met to the bitch

that stood by and watched him do it!

You don't know what it feels like!

Well let me give you a little taster.

You can't get away from me!

You can't get away from me!

You just have to take whatever I do now

'cause you deserve to be punished!

[dramatic music]

- Okay, I think she's got O'Neil!

- I don't like to waste money! [pots clattering]

You think I'm too drunk

not to know the difference!

When I've got to make sure

you never never lie to me again!

White trash!

This, Hannah, come down here!

Come in here, Hannah!

Come and see what happens

to lying bitches!

Don't take me into the room, daddy!

Please daddy!

How do you know you won't?

Hannah's a good girl.

No, no, no don't tie me in the chair, daddy!

Hannah's a good girl!

[suspenseful music]

[door jiggling]

[Becky crying]

- Hannah?

Don't be frightened.

Come in. [slow music]

It's all right.

Come closer.

Come on.

Help me.

Before he comes back.

Untie me.

I'm getting away from him.

Good girl.

[tape crackling]

- You thought you had me, didn't you,

Detective Inspector, Frances O'Neil.

Wrong.

[siren blaring]

Police never did anything for me.

They never took him away.

You think you're all so clever.

Think you can outsmart me.

But you can't break into my mind.

There's too many of us in there already.

Where's my police issue at?

I've got a couple of minutes.

Lost Henry's punishment stick.

He used a cricket bat, you know.

Go on, don't stop trying to get free.

I know what you're doing.

Because I did the same.

He used to leave me tied up for days.

- What about Claire Savage?

What did she do to you?

- Clare Savage was a lying bitch!

She tormented me for years.

She said I was a nobody.

Well she was wrong. [glass crackling]

- Becky, it's all right.

It's all right, Becky, Becky.

Just listen to me.

- [Becky] Becky, Becky.

- Listen to me, Becky.

- [Becky] Listen to me, Becky.

- Just don't be afraid.

- I'm not afraid of the dark.

I like the dark.

Do you like the dark?

He did it to me in the dark.

I like the dark

because I couldn't see his face.

Can you see mine?

- I can get help for you, Becky.

There are people who care about you.

- Like who?

- I spoke to your stepmother.

She still loves you.

- That bitch.

Oh, she's next.

Here they come, Frances.

- Better get you ready for viewing.

[sirens blaring]

- Killing me isn't going to help, Becky.

[Frances gasping]

[grunting]

- Come on, go, go!

[Frances gasping]

[Frances screaming]

[water gushing]

Frances, Frances?

[indistinct chatter]

- You didn't have to come.

- I know.

How are you feeling?

- Bit sore, but I'll live.

How's Becky?

- She took a fair blow to the back of the head.

Ironically, she's in a coma.

Not that she has much of a life to look forward to

when she wakes up.

- I'm sorry, Chris.

I know you were close to her.

- That was a long time ago.

- Well, what's next for you?

- It's an interesting case.

Hard to refuse.

Davina believes that she can identify a suspect

from a partial imprint of his left ear lobe.

[Frances giggling]

I'm absolutely serious.

He was a peeping Tom who pressed his head

against the window pane.

Interested?

- You mean you'd work with the Celtic Tiger again?

- Absolutely.

I've seen you at work, Frances O'Neil.

You're something else.

[slow music]

- There are two female victims,

Claire Savage and Elizabeth Peel.

And then victim three,

who is the spanner in the works.

Henry Arnold.

- So you say you suspected quite early on

that the killer might've had links

to the criminal justice system.

- Yes, because not only were they extremely

forensically aware.

- But they also use staging

to try and throw you off the scent.

- Exactly.

- So which officer was the killer?

Was it Medwynter, Longton,

Glover, Western,

Beg, Beale, or Ball?

- Clock starts now.

- Did any of them express an overt interest in your work?

- Yes.

Rebecca Longton did.

- And was she working full time on the investigation?

- No.

Four hours a day.

- Two of the killings took place during the day

and one at night

But none appear to be sexually motivated,

and the killer crossed the gender divide,

which I'd say points to a more personal motive,

probably connected to the killer's past.

It's Rebecca Longton.

- Very impressive.

I obviously still have a lot to learn.

- Sometimes, Frances, it's not in the learning

but in the simplest clue overlooked as the game commences.
