All language subtitles for Taggart s27e06 Silent Truth

What the?

Victim of doused in petrol and set
alight. Died at the scene.

Any witnesses?

Apparently it was a young junkie who saw
the victim in flames, but he's done a

runner. Initial attack took place in an
alleyway at the end of this lane.

Get a house -to -house organised.

Victim ID'd yet?

Yes, sir.

Farid Munwood, early 20s. The family
live round the corner. Iranian,

The locals think it might be racially
motivated.

Doesn't matter what they think.

It's what happened that's important.

There are traces of blood and petrol all
along here.

The attackers must have made their
escape down that way.

I might be able to find some fibres from
their clothing with a bit of luck.

More than one attacker?

He was beaten, doused in petrol and set
alight. One man could have done it, but

I just presume... Presume nothing.

Look, this guy.

Hi. Who's he on that ride?

Get his name.

Find out what you're so interested in.

We'll talk to the family.

Excuse me.

Yeah, Ross.

Mind if I ask you a couple of questions?

You live here?

Aye.

Got a name?

It's Geddes.

Billy.

How's your face, Billy?

Oh, I drive a cab, and my passengers had
to pop at me. Happens, you know.

Eh, tell me about it.

So, you feeling last night? You hear
anything?

No, sorry.

They're well -liked. They've been here
for about four years. They're picking a

smile on us.

Muslim? Not sure.

We understand

this isn't a good time.

Unfortunately, the first 24 hours were
the most important in any verification.

Can you tell us a little about Farid?

He was my eldest son.

He always...

Wanted to do it best.

Is there anything you think that we
should know? About what?

Sorry, you are? Her cousin, Suhail.

Well, Suhail, can you think of a reason
why somebody would attack your cousin

like that?

Do they need a reason?

The fact that we are here is enough.
Suhail, I'll speak now. I'm the eldest.

There has been trouble with some kids
from the nearby scheme, but most people

around here have been very good to us.

So no one you'd suspect?

You sure?

We came here to start again.

You look a bit glum.

I forgot you brushed up well.

I've had a charm.

He's going out to somewhere later.

All right, bit of hush.

Victim, Farid Mahmood.

Political exile from Iran, along with
father, sister and brother.

Let's check them out. And the neighbour,
Gedded.

Let's find out what makes him tick.

Jackie, what do we know about the local
community?

Excuse me.

Yeah, well, the picture that's coming...
Sorry.

Can I help you? DC Rahim.

Diversity unit.

Chief Super thought you might need some
help.

I thought he had a bell ring in there.

Should you not be back at school?

She feels you'll need a liaison officer.

I speak Arabic, Kurdish, Pashto and a
bit of Persian.

Do you, sir?

All right, take a seat.

Carry on, Jackie.

Well, as far as I can glean, the local
community... If you don't mind.

The area's very diverse.

Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Iranian,
various religions.

There is some racial tension, but Farid
had no history of radicalism.

So, not an obvious target for a race
crime, then? No, but the local community

need to know their concerns are
recognised.

We have to tread carefully with a crime
like this. The thing is, DC Rahim, we

don't know what kind of crime it is yet.

Oh, Chief Superintendent Campbell...
Chief Superintendent Campbell isn't

this investigation.

I am.

We're perfectly capable of handling this
on our own. We don't need people

parachuted in. The diversity unit was
set up for situations just like this

Rahim, it's only an investigation
whether you like it or not. You, sir.

Are you going somewhere?

We have been trying to get permanent
visa for many years, but our third

has been turned down.

We are being deported.

They don't seem to think we have much to
offer your country.

Do you mind if I ask what you did back
in Iran?

I was trained as a teacher.

But after revolution, I lose position
and property was confiscated.

They are sending us back to a life of
persecution.

Perhaps we should have stayed.

Farid might still be alive. Don't think
like that.

What kind of life would we have had?

It isn't your fault. None of this is
your fault.

Will you keep looking for this man even
after we are gone?

I do not think so. You will forget about
Farid. No, I can assure you we'll do

everything we can. Oh, no.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Leave to report to a holding centre this
afternoon.

I understand you're dealing with the
Mahmood case.

That's right.

One of many. They'll be on a flight to
Iran by tomorrow.

Oh, that seems harsh.

But it didn't meet the criteria for
asylum.

Their claim was found to be without
merit.

Although their religious beliefs make
them enemies of the revolution in Iran,

the Home Office position is go home and
be discreet.

Well, we'd like to request that they're
allowed to stay until we finish our

investigation. Is that possible?

They've had all the appeals they're
going to get. Even in these

I'll make some calls.

What happened anyway? Did he set himself
on fire?

Why would he do that?

Well, he knew it was going to be bad
news. They were expecting this.

It happened.

There's a lot of desperate people in
this city.

The Border Agency have given you a 48
-hour extension on your deportation.

It makes no difference.

Farid is still gone.

Thank you.

We'll do everything we can to help.

Can I just ask, how did Farid feel about
the likelihood of going home?

This was his home.

Can you tell us what Farid was doing
last night before he was attacked?

He was at the cafe with me.

He left about ten.

Cafe?

Fahil had just opened his own place.

We were going to work there, prove that
we can support ourselves.

So you're clean?

Yeah, I have a permanent visa. I'm
married.

Is there any chance that they were self
-inflicted?

That Freed did this as a protest?

Sorry,

have I... Suicide is against our
beliefs.

My father won't believe that Farage
could do that.

And what do you think?

It's possible, I suppose.

It's you, isn't it?

We were trying to piece together Farid's
movement last night.

When did you last see him?

He said he was going to get something
from the corner shop.

At what time was that?

After he came home from the cafe?

At the cafe?

That's right.

But he never returned?

No.

So what was he going to get from the
shop? I don't know. He didn't say.

Well done.

You managed to completely antagonise the
whole family.

That was a question that had to be
asked. Did it?

Just because he was against our religion
doesn't mean he didn't top himself.

If it was a protest, wouldn't he have
done it outside the immigration office?

Well, people in his situation don't
always think straight, do they? In

can we agree what our approach is before
going in?

Aye. OK, DC Rahim. But can we stop
treating this family with kid gloves

they're holding back?

That's a cultural thing. They're very
reserved.

It's private.

Is that another word for liars? My
brother thinks Reid was at home, and my

cousin thinks Reid was at a cafe. So,
one of them is lying.

Sir.

The good news, the bad news.

Good. I've got a lead.

Bad? I've got a lead.

Graffiti has sprung up in the area since
the murder. The number 103.

I think it refers to Pan Am Flight 103.

Lockerbie. Co -influence?

It's possible.

This could be very divisive.

Let's keep it within the team until
we're sure.

I checked out William Reddick.

Ex -army.

He served in Iraq.

When did you get discharged, Billy?

Three years ago.

He's got a shell fragment in his leg, so
he's been driving his minicab since

then.

Whereabouts were you stationed?

Basra.

I see a lot of action.

The last three of my closest mates were
burned to death in a personnel carrier.

I'm sorry to hear that.

He's got post -traumatic stress.

But he's never asked the army for
anything.

Ever. I'm fine.

So did you know the victim?

Fareed Mahmood?

If you guys know anything, it's in your
own interest to tell us.

Your sister married Fareed's cousin,
so... technically we're related.

There's nothing against them.

I just want Scotland for the Scottish.

I take it you weren't at the wedding
then?

That's right.

And where were you on the night of the
murder? He was here with me.

Watching the telly.

Champions League.

We never miss a big game.

For how long have you and Fahil been
married?

Three years.

It's not a marriage of convenience if
that's what you're getting at. I never

meant to imply it was.

That's what a lot of people down here
thought.

We love each other.

So you didn't see who sprayed that
graffiti over there?

I hadn't even noticed it.

Does the CCTV cover the street?

I don't know, I just work here.

Callan, if you want us to find out what
happened to Farid, you're going to have

to change your attitude.

Just the doorway.

They're good people, the Hughes family.

Farid set up a club to keep the kids
around here away from drugs.

He didn't deserve this.

What lunch?

Oh, no thanks.

You might as well paste them directly
onto my thighs.

I can eat anything.

I've got a super fast metabolism.

Why did I know you were going to say
that?

So, how come you haven't put in for a
promotion yet, Jackie?

What makes you think I haven't?

I checked.

You know something, Mita?

I'm not sure it's what I want.

Well... I still think we shouldn't rule
out a possible suicide.

Don't worry about nothing.

You get anything?

CCTV. Might be worth a look.

Have a guess, the magistrate.

Tommy Keenan.

Who?

Local businessman.

He's empire -making people offers they
couldn't refuse.

DCI Buck, is it?

Long time no see.

Mr Keenan.

What do you think of our Iranian coffee?

Very cosmopolitan round here, don't you
think?

You don't mind a wee bit of competition,
then? Me?

No, not at all.

I like a falafel or two.

Not so keen on people getting burnt to
excess from the street, though.

That's bad for business.

Good to see they've got somebody like
you on the case, though. Must be taking

seriously. Oh, we take every case
seriously.

Good. I can relax now.

I know you'll sort it out. Manly, yeah?

Let's find out what that sleek of you
rat's been up to recently.

Let's go for a drink later on, Mita.

We should get to know each other.

Should we?

You're too smart, hey, Robbie?

She speaks five languages.

You've barely mastered English.

I speak the language I love, Jackie.

I bet your taste has an ancient
language.

I'll pick that one.

Help me.

Help.

Help. Help.

How is she?

I say she's going to be all right.

We should be thankful.

Thankful?

You find her dead yet?

No. But we'll find them.

I'll arrange for someone to stay with
her as long as need be. No.

We will protect her now.

I'm afraid

you'll have to speak to us.

Whether you want to or not.

What's he doing here?

Give me a lift

270

The official number of victims of the
Lockerbie disaster.

What's this?

It's graffiti.

103. And now this.

Could be Fareed's murder is some
misguided revenge for terrorist attacks.

That's a long time to wait for payback,
isn't it? I mean, when was Lockerbie? 20

-odd years ago?

Not that long before McGrathie was
released, though.

You really think they might be directly?

Well, I don't know, but if I've picked
up on it, it won't be long until someone

else does.

I don't think we can ignore it.

Delcache? It's me to Rahim.

You're in hospital.

Can you remember what happened?

I don't know.

I just remember a car.

And where do you think? I'm here.

I'm all right, Delcache.

We'll get you home soon.

Very soon. Do not worry.

I'll speak to the doctor.

Are you sure you didn't see anyone?

Leave her. Let her sleep, though.

Well, I think this latest attack puts
your suicide theory to rest, don't you?

What's the Mahmood girl saying?

She didn't get a look at the driver or
the car.

But she gave you nothing.

I don't think this family's telling the
whole story.

You seem to have forgotten she's the
victim here, sir, not the suspect.

All right, get it.

You lost friends in Iraq?

His sister's married into an Iranian
family. He's not a happy bunny. Has he

turned violent? With all due respect,
boss, he did fight for his country, only

we dumped him in scrap heap. Doesn't
give him the right to go around killing

people. No, I'm just saying he has his
opinions, but it doesn't make him a

murderer. I don't care if he's Douglas
Bader.

Have they hit Delcache? Mahmoudi's due
in time.

Check the locals' CCTV.

See if they left the house on either
night.

We'll have an officer checking on the
flat for the next few days.

If you feel under threat at any time,
don't hesitate to call.

We have friends here.

They'll help us.

Suhail, if someone is targeting your
family, and you know why, you must tell

Have you seen the graffiti?

The numbers?

It started the night Farid died.

I'm telling you the truth. I don't know.

Is everything all right?

How's DT Rahim doing?

Oh, fine.

She's bright enough.

Good.

So what's your feeling on this race
crime?

It could be.

I'm not sure yet.

The answer might lie within the family
itself.

Well, we need to be careful how we
handle it.

Anything else I should know?

No, no, not at the moment.

Keep me posted.

Just remember how we represent ourselves
to the public at half the battle these

days. Hearts and minds, Matt. Hearts and
minds.

I'm glad you like Rahim.

Because mark my words, one day we'll all
be working for her.

There's something here.

There's no sign of Gareth, but this BMW
was in the area when both Farid and

Delcache were attacked.

It's registered to Sammy Cutwood, the
officer on the border agency we spoke

Let's find out what he was doing there
at that time of night.

Ross and DCI Buck.

Give me time for a wee chat.

I drive around at night quite a lot
since my divorce.

I don't sleep.

Driving takes my mind off things I'd
rather not think about.

Why that area?

It's quiet.

And you didn't have any contact with the
Mahmood family outside of your work?

I only saw them once or twice.

In my office.

I don't have a problem with the Mahmood.

People like them would be a bonus to the
country.

I don't like the way some people are
treated, but I don't make the rules.

Ever had any problems with a man named
Billy Geddes round that way? Not that I

recall. Well, if you ever see anything
in your nocturnal travels that might be

of help, let us know.

We won't keep you.

Lovely house, by the way.

I don't think I could afford a photo loo
round here.

Neither could I. I inherited it from my
mother.

As I said, we've been here about a year.

I set up the refuge myself.

I'm proud to be gay, but some men from
Middle Eastern backgrounds find it hard

to admit.

So they come here for advice?

To be gay is to bring shame on the
family.

They can face threats of violence and
end up homeless.

We try and help.

Did you know a man called Farid Mahmood?

You understand I have to be careful.

I don't want to compromise people.

Look.

This is a murder inquiry.

If Farid was gay, it could shed some
light on why he was killed.

Right. What about his brother, you say?

Do you know him?

No?

Well, that's odd, because he was here
ten minutes ago.

Shaleen, trust me.

I'm sorry.

Trusting the police isn't always easy.
Then let me make it easy. Someone is

targeting that family.

They could all be dead soon. Is that
what you want?

Farid and Yusri were volunteers.

They felt angry about what was happening
to gay men and women in Iran.

I know that Yusri didn't want their
father to know they worked here.

Fresh kills.

It's a landfill in New York. What was
left of the Twin Towers and the people

them ended up there.

The graveyard.

Somebody could be punishing the Mahmoods
for something they have nothing to do

with.

So now we have three possible motives.

Homophobia, race, revenge.

Let's start with Geddes.

He's got an alibi.

Wife's lie.

You've got a real softball for him,
haven't you?

God, he laid his life on the line for
his country.

Let's keep this under our hat for now. I
don't want this getting back to Camden.

Sir, that Keenan's file from drug
enforcement, there's nothing in here

links them to the Mahmoods.

Don't worry. He won't get involved.

I think he might hypnotise him or
something.

I don't know where he gets the energy
from.

All right, come on, Robbie. Get your
jacket. Let's go and steal a car.

Whoa! Hey!

What's going on?

This is my motor!

I believe this vehicle may have left the
scene of an accident.

What are you talking about? What
accident?

I need this car to end my living.

What are you looking at? Hey!

That's enough.

That's it.

You're taking away my livelihood.

How's that then?

Jackie, the corner shop a week ago.

Fareed's talking to a man in a suit.

Do you want me to ID him?

No need.

Sammy Kirkwood.

You said you only met the Mahmood family
in your office.

Why did you lie?

I didn't lie.

Simply forgot I bumped into him.

What did you talk about?

He was asking advice on his family's
appeal.

And you make a habit of chatting about
official business in the street, do you?

I resent your tone, DCI Burke.

And I resent you lying.

Do I have to remind you I work for the
Border Agency?

I'm not some thug you can intimidate. Do
I have to remind you I don't care who

you work for?

Look, I'm more than happy to help with
your inquiries.

Then give me a straight answer.

Exactly how well do you know the Mahmood
family?

If you're holding back on me, I'll turn
your career to ashes.

Understand?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I only spoke to him about the case.

I told him to prepare for the worst.

Anything?

I'll see if this paintwork matches
samples from Delcache Manor's clothes.

And check the interior, top to bottom.

I don't want to miss a trick.

Oh, never took Mr Geddes for an art
lover, did you?

Rule number one, Jackie.

Never judge by appearances.

Looks like there's more to your friend
Geddes than you thought.

Maybe Keenan resents the memories for
starting a business.

No, he's using Geddes to steal.

Boss, it's Robbie.

Thanks for giving us your time.

I know you're a busy man these days.

Nail bars, property, restaurants, you're
practically a conglomerate.

Aye, well, I don't like to put all my
eggs in one basket.

Maybe a wee bit of protection on the
side, eh?

Should I have my lawyer present, ECI
Burke?

I remember you when you were selling
square slice at the back of a van at the

Barrett's. Oh, well, we've all got to
start somewhere.

So you don't mind somebody opening up a
cafe in your neck of the woods?

No, not at all.

Free enterprise, I'm all for it.

Even if they refuse to give you a cut?

Is a cafe or a hairdresser make up your
mind?

Do you know an ex -army guy called
Gareth?

Oh, slightly. What were you talking to
him about at the lighthouse gallery?

I lent the man some money so that he
could buy a motor so that he could start

minicab company.

I like to look in on him now and again.

He's a hard -working man, but his wee
soldier in Iraq never did him any

You think he might be involved in the
death of Farid Mahmood?

Farid, huh?

Apparently Mr Mahmood's family were
involved in trying to stop local kids

getting into drugs.

Would you know anything about that?

No. But good on them.

They cannae bear drugs.

I hear you're a betting man.

Do you hear us? Is that right?

What would you say the odds are of
somebody like me getting mixed up with

likes of the Mahmoods?

100 to 1, at least.

Bet ma.

You get well known these days.

Although some souls have spent the days
of their lives in ignorance and became

estranged and contumacious, yet with one
wave from the ocean of thy forgiveness,

all those encompassed by sin will be set
free.

We are all naught but sinners and
deserving to be shut out from thee.

But shouldst thou uphold mercy, every
sinner would be made pure, and every

stranger a friend.

Bestow then thy forgiveness and pardon,
and grant thy mercy unto all.

Thou art the forgiver, the light -giver,
and the omnipotent.

Thanks for coming.

You were very close, weren't you?

Yes.

You knew everything about each other?

We did.

Did he know you were gay?

Please, don't say anything.

Why didn't you mention this at your
appeal?

That might have helped.

But my family would be shamed.

I thought your faith taught tolerance.

Sometimes people say one thing and feel
another, don't they?

But Farid understood.

He wanted to protect me.

The newest danger I would be in when we
go back.

You need to start telling the truth, you
see.

Look.

There's not much time left.

If you do know who did this, you need to
tell me now.

Exactly how long have you known there
could be a political motive behind this

murder? We recognised what the graffiti
meant yesterday.

Why didn't you inform me straight away?

Because anybody could have written it.
It might have nothing to do with the

murder of the Mahmood kid.

You think?

Pretty obvious to me. It could.

I should have been told. We needed an
immediate response to this. I'm a

detective. I'm not a PR consultant.

Do me a favour.

Stop looking at the past through rose
-tinted glasses, the way it used to be

when you were a proper copper.

It wasn't any better back then, and you
know it.

You need to get a grip on this. Is it
race? Is it revenge?

What are we dealing with here?

As soon as I find out, you'll be the
first to know.

I better be.

Sir, let me just report on the CCTV.

Kirkwood said, I told you, just stay
calm. I won't hurt you.

She couldn't make out what Farid was
saying.

But then Kirkwood said, I need time.

I need some more time.

Kirkwood definitely connected to that
family in some way.

Good work, Mita.

What does that matter?

It doesn't matter, Harry.

Somebody told Campbell about the
graffiti.

I didn't think you were taking it
seriously enough. So you went behind my

She asked me to keep her informed about
the investigation, so I did.

C .S. Campbell outranks you, sir. What
was I supposed to do?

All right, Robbie.

We'll take Kirkwood.

Jackie, find Geddes, bring him in for
questioning.

Mita, he's taking you to man the phones.

Answer, you can't.

You seem unmoved.

You see, I... I really... I want to see
us, Cadwood.

Calm down. Everything will be fine.

Go on somewhere, Mr. Cadwood.

Boss, it must be 20 grand in here and
three other bags under the bed.

Here to explain.

I can't believe you killed that boy. I
didn't kill anybody.

Then what's your relationship with Yossi
Mahmoud exactly?

I told Yossi and Freda I could help them
with their appeal.

Said I'd write a recommendation
overturning their denial to stay.

And how much did that cost them?

Five thousand.

Where do you think they got that kind of
money?

I take it from their mind you get
stashed that they're not the only ones

been stringing along.

You don't pack your bags, Sammy, you're
going nowhere.

No, don't think lovely.

OK.

Well, why don't we meet at that bar we
went to last week?

Oh.

Sorry, Chris, I'm going to have to take
this.

Meet her. It's UC.

He's been attacked.

Can you get to the Mammut flat?

Yeah, I've got it.

I'm asking you, move to the side. Stop!

Move to the side.

Why has this happened to my family?

What do these people want?

We are going back and still they want to
kill us.

Are you aware your sons tried to bribe
an immigration official to get your

family a permanent visa?

What?

My sons would never do that.

That goes against everything we believe
in. I brought them up to be honest. They

would never do that. They were
desperate.

You see, was terrified of going back
because of his sexuality.

I don't understand.

Yussi was gay, Mr. Mahmood.

He was too scared to tell you.

Scared?

Me?

Oh.

Oh!

Farid knew about Yussi.

What about you?

Did you know?

You think I killed Yussi?

Farid? My own cousin?

Until we start getting some straight
answers from this family, I don't know

to think.

Talk to us, Sahil.

Where did the money for Kirkwood come
from?

Freed was desperate to help Yossi. What
did they do to make this family a

target? Nothing.

Nothing. I told you about the graffiti.
You didn't listen.

Now Yossi is dead.

But I can tell you the car has traces of
heroin and cocaine all over it. Good

work, Donald.

Hey, Donald.

Did Billy do this to you?

If it wasn't for your alibi, we'd be
arresting him for the murder of the

brothers. You know that.

Now, we know he's been doing drugs. We
can put him away right now.

So start talking.

It was Keenan.

He's trying to scare him.

Billy was working for him.

Delivering to the dealers.

Last week he got robbed.

They took thousands.

Keenan blames Billy.

Says we've got to pay him back.

But we don't have it. Where is he?

He's going to get some money so we can
get out of here.

He made them do it.

You've got to understand.

He made them.

I need some money.

Can I have some money, Sahil?

I don't have money.

I don't have it.

Open the door. No.

Sahil, open the door. No, no. Open the
door. Leave me alone.

I have no money.

Give me the money.

Give me the money.

It was the Mahmood brothers who robbed
you, wasn't it?

Billy.

They were screaming.

My mates in the ABC.

They're begging me to get them out.

We were pinned down.

There's nothing we could do.

You believe me, don't you? There's
nothing I could do.

Sure.

I'll leave you Billy.

It's not my fault.

None of it.

Thing is, nobody understands what you
boys went through out there.

Huh?

And if you haven't been there, then you
don't have the right to judge.

I can't imagine what it must feel like
knowing that nobody gets it.

Nobody feels what you felt.

The thing is, Billy, you have to deal
with that.

Was it the Mamu brother that robbed you,
Billy?

Kenan knew.

That's why he wanted me to torture
Farid.

It was my punishment.

And did you?

All right, all right!

All right!

I told him I recognised Farid's voice.

I didn't know he was going to... He was
going to kill Abby. I didn't know what

choice did I have.

You see him, Delcache?

I couldn't go through with it.

Not a woman.

So Keenan killed Yusie himself.

Get him out of here.

And track down Keenan.

Why, Sahil?

I wanted to distract you.

I discovered the robbery.

They would never be allowed to stay.

And if they went back, I would never be
able to see them alive again.

I told Farid to get the money back. I
told him.

But he still believed that Kirkwood
could stop the deportation.

And Farid was that desperate?

You see, he said he would rather kill
himself than go home.

Last chance! Where's my money? What do
you think you're doing, Major?

I thought you said I was alone.

Where's Mahmood and his daughter?

Where are they?

Right up here.

Just so you know, nobody gets out of
here alive.

Including you, officer.

Sir, Major's at Mahmood. She's in
trouble.

Where's my money?

You think you're taking it all away? I
can't help people thinking it's okay to

rob me.

Let me out!

Leave him alone, he don't know what
you're looking for. Nothing personal.

Please! Please!

Shit!

Keenan!

Take it on now!

Listen,

about T .S. Campbell, I'm sorry that...
No, sir. I should apologise.

The decision was final.

The flight to Tehran leaves in two
hours.

Thank you.

For what, Delcache?

For caring.
