1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200 In the criminal justice system, the people are represented 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,560 by two separate, equally important groups. 3 00:00:05,560 --> 00:00:08,960 The police, who investigate crime, and the Crown Prosecutors, 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,000 who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,520 Almost there, almost there, almost there. 6 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,960 One more step. One more step. 7 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,200 Come on! Come on! 8 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,720 Go! Jesus! 9 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,120 Oh, no. 10 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,240 Carl. Carl, get back in the car, please. 11 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,760 Ambulance, please. Police too. 12 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,320 Monson Place, N10. I think someone's jumped. 13 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,880 Argh! Carl! 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,720 I'm sorry. I've got to go. 15 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,920 Just drive. 16 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:17,560 Lovely night for it, Joy. 17 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,040 You're not wrong, Ronnie. 18 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,960 Right. Female. Late 50s, early 60s. No keys, no purse. Just this. 19 00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,880 What is it? One smashed phone. 20 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,720 See if the boys can salvage something from that. Hit-and-run or suicide? 21 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,280 The latter. The amount I've seen here, I might pitch a tent, save on petrol. 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,920 Anything? No, there's nothing up there, mate. 23 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,960 Right. 24 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,240 Hey, classy get-up. 25 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,840 She wasn't short of a few quid. 26 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,960 She's not wearing a coat. It's warmer in my freezer. 27 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,720 I don't think the climate was at the forefront of my mind, somehow. 28 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,800 No. Maybe my old man was right, after all. 29 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,280 Yeah? Money don't buy you happiness. 30 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,160 The SIM is intact, guv, but the data is mostly in Arabic. 31 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,320 OK. Let's get a translator over there. 32 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,360 Thank you. 33 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,440 Phone is registered to a Ranya Habib. And I've got an address. 34 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,040 Good. How's your Arabic? 35 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,040 Blimey. None too shabby. 36 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,400 It means, 'My Hovercraft is full of eels.' 37 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000 Muslim lad. Hendon. Big Python fan. 38 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,040 So where are we going? Highgate. 39 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520 Right. No 'dead parrot' jokes. 40 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,480 Ron. Mm-hm? 41 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,520 Found this in her bedroom, by the phone. Suicide note? 42 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,680 It's Arabic. You're the interpreter. 43 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,520 There's a couple of numbers. 44 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560 779 LHR 355. 45 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,400 Flight number? 46 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480 I'll check it out. I'll see what the neighbours have got to say. All right. 47 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960 I feel dreadful saying this, 48 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,960 but I wasn't exactly her biggest fan. 49 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,920 She wasn't the most tolerant of people, shall we say? 50 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Right. Did you see her last night? 51 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,400 No. I heard her, though. She was having a right old barney. 52 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,480 What time was that? 11. 53 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,720 I took a sleeping pill and put my earplugs in and went straight back to sleep. 54 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,080 Alone. 55 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,840 Mm. Do you know who she was with? 56 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,760 It was in Arabic. It was kind of like listening to burning cats. 57 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,840 Did she live alone? 58 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,800 Her husband died years ago. 59 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,480 Ron. Right, Joe. What about the people in Flat 1? 60 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,200 In the Maldives. 61 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120 Well, lucky for some. Erm... 62 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,480 Do me a favour, Mr Moss. If anyone comes looking for Mrs Habib, please let me know. 63 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,920 Yes. 64 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,320 Thank you. 65 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,800 Well rescued. 66 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,760 900 grand. 67 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,040 It's not exactly pocket money, is it? 68 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,280 What did she do? 69 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:41,120 Habib and Daughter Imports. It could be anything. 70 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Yeah. Look at this lot. 71 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,920 Bit early for lunch, innit, Ron?

And yesterday and today all blanked out with YE. 75 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,320 Yeah, I seen it in the contacts book. I don't think it's a person. 76 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,600 What are you thinking? 77 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,680 Well, look. She's very busy for someone planning to clear her diary, so to speak, isn't she? 78 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,840 Smell that? 79 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,520 Bleach. 80 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,560 Right. 81 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,280 Hello, again, Mr Moss. Sorry to disturb you. Just some information. Who cleans the stairwell? 82 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,360 We have a cleaner. When do they come? 83 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,000 Tuesdays. Brilliant. Thank you for your time. 84 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,720 Thank you. 85 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,760 Does this smell three days old to you? 86 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,680 No, it does not. 87 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,840 So, Joe, get the boys over here. Get this place forensicated. Maybe the argument turned nasty. 88 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,600 Ah...get you, McNulty. 89 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200 We are really very sorry. 90 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,840 Who is it, Mum? 91 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,960 What's happened? 92 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,040 Come on, darling. We must leave the men to talk. 93 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Go with your mother. 94 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,760 You don't work Fridays? 95 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,800 I'm freelancing right now. 96 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,840 We know this is difficult, sir. When was the last time you saw your mother? 97 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,600 She came for dinner last night. 98 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,080 What time did she leave? 99 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,680 Ten o'clock. Just after. 100 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Did you notice any signs of her not being herself lately? 101 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,280 No. Depressed or withdrawn at all? 102 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,240 No, I can't believe that she would take her own life, no. 103 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,280 Mm. 104 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:51,480 We saw the letters YE in her diary. Is that a person? 105 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,960 How should I know? 106 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,880 Mr Mahmoud...we're only trying to do our job. 107 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,720 It wasn't suicide, that's for sure. 108 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,160 You mean she was pushed? Good question. 109 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,920 Clear linear skull fracture. 110 00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:14,400 As you can see, an epidural bleed lead to a herniation of the brain stem and death, 111 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,720 which is certainly consistent with a fall. 112 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,640 But she didn't fall from a flyover? 113 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,440 Precisely. Not nearly enough blood. Her injuries aren't consistent with a fall from that height. 114 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960 What about down the stairwell? More likely. 115 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,680 How long had she been dead when they found her? 116 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,760 Given her body temperature, at least a couple of hours. 117 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,880 So she gets pushed down the stairs. Someone dumps her under the flyover. 118 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,920 Sorry, Ron. Seems fair. Right-oh. 119 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,360 Hawkins. 120 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,480 Uh-huh. 121 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,720 OK. All right. Great. 122 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,000 Ron. Yeah. 123 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,440 You were right. Arab Air 779 lands at Heathrow, 3:55pm daily. 124 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,080 Someone she knew flew in. 125 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,840 Or is due to. My money is on YE. 126 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,640 There were two people with those initials on the 779 yesterday. 127 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,720 Yosreh Ebaza, a 12-year-old travelling with a family. 128 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320 And the other? Yafeu Elsayed. 129 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560 In from Cairo for three days. 130 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480 This is him coming through customs now. 131 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,720 Is that your victim? Absolutely. Yeah. 132 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,280 Have you got an immigration card? Yeah. And a flight history. He's been a busy boy. 133 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,840 Great. Thanks very much. 134 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,800 I've got to take this call. He's staying at the Sovereign Hotel in London. 135 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,440 Hello? 136 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,480 Yeah. That is brilliant. 137 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,960 Excellent. Thanks, Ange. 138 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,680 Joe. Thank you, gentlemen. 139 00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,600 The Sovereign can wait. 140 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,400 Doing business with the Middle East doesn't make you Al Qaeda. Ange? 141 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Come off it. When rich white people travel, we call them worldly, 142 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,680 but when Muslims do it, we call them terrorists? 143 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:50,760 I take your point. It's just something we can't ignore. What can't we ignore? 144 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,720 Ron's terrorist radar is bleeping. 145 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,200 Multiple payments, guv, from Ranya Habib's account to Middle East recipients, 146 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,960 including £6,000 only last week to a Mr Yafeu Elsayed. 147 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,000 Yesterday, she picks him up from Heathrow airport. Six hours later, we find her dead. 148 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Not only that, but in the last 12 months alone, Mr Elsayed has been to the Yemen, Libya and Syria. 149 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,240 I'm just saying we can't rule it out. OK. But listen - tread carefully. 150 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,280 Yes? Yeah. 151 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,200 Did he seem on edge? 152 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Did he act strange? 153 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,200 Did you notice anything unusual? No. 154 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Did he say anything to you? No. 155 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,280 What, nothing at all? 156 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,280 Ron. Yeah? 157 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,640 Sodium bicarbonate. 158 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,720 Nitro-glycerine. 159 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,720 Homemade explosives. He could have made it here. He had another bag. 160 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,960 Where's the bag? I don't know. You haven't seen it? You know where he was going? 161 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,840 Over there. 162 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,880 Thanks for your help. Cheers. 163 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,200 Wes, it's Ronnie. Give me a ring back as soon as you can. It's urgent. 164 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:55,080 Ron, we don't know for sure. 165 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,920 Think about it, Joe. The risk of not taking action is far greater. 166 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,720 I want all available units, you understand? 167 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,160 There you go. 168 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,880 No sign of him. His name's on the list. 169 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,920 Well, then he's up there already. 170 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,520 We need you to perform an emergency evacuation. 171 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,560 Get everyone out of here as quick as you can via the South exit.

Far too young to need a gynaecologist. 381 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,280 Are you familiar with the term 'cutting', or FGM, DS Hawkins? 382 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,320 Female genital mutilation. 383 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,680 The surgical removal of the external genitalia. 384 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,720 I know what it is. 385 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,760 Should have seen it before. 386 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:17,400 I discovered it formed a substantial part of his practice. 387 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,040 Ranya Habib paid Dr Elsayed to cut Laila. 388 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,880 Safia wouldn't stand for it. 389 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,120 Don't jump the gun. Where's the evidence? 390 00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:30,920 How about a six grand round trip paid for by Ranya? 391 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,360 That's not evidence, Joe. That's generosity. 392 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:34,720 Why didn't she tell you? 393 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,680 Because she's scared. 394 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,800 I've seen it before. There's a wall of silence with FGM. 395 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,360 Trust me - I'm talking about intimidation, violent retribution, the works. 396 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,480 Well, it's definitely a motive. 397 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,400 But it's also a defence. 398 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,040 A hypothetical one. What doesn't happen doesn't justify murder. 399 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,040 If this is true, it's premeditated child abuse. 400 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,880 Unless Ranya was standing over her granddaughter with knife in hand, there's no defence. 401 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,960 My client therefore poses no threat. 402 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,200 Thank you, Mrs Morgan. 403 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,800 My Lord. 404 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:16,840 I'm not satisfied that the conditions are adequate to alleviate the risk of her absconding. 405 00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:19,200 And interfering with witnesses. 406 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,320 And so the application for bail is refused. The defendant will be remanded into custody. 407 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,400 But my daughter - 408 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,600 Mrs Mahmoud. She needs me.

Laila is in danger and she's too scared to speak out. 431 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,440 Tariq's not stupid. He won't do anything while his wife's on trial. 432 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,920 I'm sure Joe could contact Social Services, make sure he's closely monitored. 433 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,960 And you're honestly OK with that? 434 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,640 What are you suggesting? 435 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,920 If Safia tells Morgan about the threat of FGM, she will argue defence of another. 436 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,200 We offer them manslaughter. 437 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,480 If she hasn't told her by now, she won't. 438 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,240 Our job is to prosecute.
