All language subtitles for Silent Witness - 23x04 - Close to Home, Part 2.MTB.English.C.orig.Addic7ed.com

The body recovered from Mayhew farm
is Jason Forbes.

He's been here weeks.
Possibly months.

- Is Malcolm Wilde still a suspect?
- He's a person of interest.

You always said the answer
was close to home.

So when are you going to pick
Malcolm Wilde up?

It's in hand.

- What did Malcolm say?
- Stuck to his story. He was innocent.

So the ballpark that he died
four to six weeks ago

- needs to be adjusted?
- Could have died months ago.

Did you miss him back in September?
Was he lying there the whole time?

You went round there. When?

Two days before Jason went missing.

- You sure it was a pick-up?
- Ford Super Duty, maybe?

We never went public
about the pick-up

that Hannah Divine
saw from the trees.

He must have heard her
testimony somehow.

I'm not your puppet.
It's not my fault

- you're desperate and he's not cracking.
- He did it, Nikki.

Tricking me into menacing a suspect,
that is something else entirely.

So, any other developments
in the Forbes case?

Thomas believes Jason Forbes's
body had been frozen.

And he's sure?

Thank you. He's sure about that?

When Thomas says he's sure,
he's sure.

I get that impression.

This is a bit, uh, cloak and dagger.

Well, I wanted make sure
we wouldn't be disturbed.

Well, job done.

I'll cut to the chase.

The National Crime Agency

are building their own lab in
Birmingham.

- No expense spared, lab to end all labs, etc.
- OK.

They've got a panel of experts

helping the architects
to design the place.

They're short a forensic scientist
of experience and distinction.

You want me?

What about the Lyell?

Well, you'd carry on as normal,
I'd square it with Thomas.

Well?

Well, I'm... intrigued.

Why me?

The Simon Hill murder.

Without you, we wouldn't have got
close to Carl Brady.

He wasn't even on our radar
until you found those e-mails.

Just another... worried teacher,

concerned about his pupil's
whereabouts.

Well, the respect's mutual, Tim.

Is that a yes?

It's a "I'll think about it."

Fair enough.

Nikki, did Jason Forbes'
full GP records

list a prescription for
Lorazepam?

- No.
- Any other tranquillizer?

You found Lorazepam in his system?

Mm. Low, but consistent dose,
spread over several weeks.

Oh, I got a call from Assistant
Commissioner Holloway.

CPS are reviewing the Wilde
evidence. They want to meet up.

Right, good.

Yeah, from a Lyell perspective,
this is quite an opportunity.

We could shore up a
lot of future work.

Don't you think it's odd that
they changed labs

after they found Jason's body?

No, not particularly. Why?

When he went missing,
they used a local lab

with a more than reputable
forensics and pathology unit.

I quizzed Ashby about it.

She implied it was Holloway's
decision.

I got the strong sense
that she thought it was odd, too.

You quizzed her about it?
On what grounds?

This is exactly the kind
of case we need

to get back on our feet.

How and why it fell in our laps -
not our concern.

You think it's just a coincidence
that Holloway knows Clarissa?

Yes.

- Did he mention the sabotage?
- Huh?

He didn't suggest that by
coming to us,

he was doing us a favour,
helping us back on our feet?

- So he did?
- Nikki...

I don't think you realise...
And why would you?

You don't see your bank statement
from January through December.

I don't think you realise
quite how hard this has hit us.

Wilde's facing a life sentence.

Our duty is to the truth,
not Holloway.

No matter how much work he sends us.

- It goes without saying.
- Does it?

Yeah?

OK.

Yeah.

- Hello again.
- Hello. Thank you.

I'm required to strongly advise
you against seeing Jason,

as there's been considerable
degradation to the body.

- However, I...
- Thank you.

I need to see him.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Peter, can I have
a quick word, please?

We can wait in the office.

I have a question for you, and
I need you to answer honestly.

- Because...
- What's the question?

Were you...

Are you in a relationship with
Sue Davis, Jason's judo instructor?

- Who've you been talking to?
- I need an answer, Peter.

Well, it's a pack of lies,
there's your answer.

So there's nothing in it at all?

All right, me and Sue
were an item years ago.

And we're still mates. That's it.

And you've had no trysts
more recently?

The motorhome, say, when Tina's on
the night shift at the hospital?

Look, this goes towards the
credibility of a witness.

- So I need you...
- No, never.

And Sue will back me up.

Are we done, Claire?

My boy...

My boy...

You're letting us see him.

Must mean you've finished
with him, yeah?

We've done the postmortem, yes.

You got the answers
you're looking for?

Some of them.

He was shot?

Yes.

Where?

In the back.

Was he, um...

Was he sexually...

Well? Was he?

The offender made a concerted
effort to leave no DNA.

- One possible interpretation...
- All right, all right, Christ.

So the histology indicated
that Jason's body had been frozen

for months, not weeks.

From a CPS perspective, the smaller the
window for time of death, the better.

Well, blood results help there.

I found trace amounts of Lorazepam.

I conducted a hair test.

It shows Jason was given the
tranquillizer at regular intervals

for about one month,
after which he was killed.

The body was then placed
in a freezer for roughly five months

before it was removed...

...and left in a ditch
on Mayhew Farm,

where it was discovered four
to six weeks later.

There's a fair amount of roughlys
and abouts in your chronology.

Well, that's because we have a fair
few unknowns.

The exact temperature of the freezer

where the body was stored,
for example.

We've run tests on the freezer in
Wilde's basement.

It's negative for Jason's DNA.

I also tested the rifle.

It's not the weapon used
to kill Jason.

It would have been nice to have a
heads up on the ballistics.

Well, the results only came
in just before you did.

Right. Thanks, Jack.
It's really not a problem.

So, isn't it possible that even
if Wilde didn't actually

freeze his body, it doesn't mean
he didn't abduct and kill him?

You've lost me.

Well, I can see a scenario
where Malcolm persuades his dad

to clean up his mess.

Why would he do that?
To save his only son.

We're sure we're not viewing
the evidence selectively

to support Wilde's guilt?

We're simply exploring
possibilities, Dr Alexander.

And let's not forget
that Malcolm's father tried

and failed to beat a
confession out of him.

Tortured him, to call
it what it was.

And Malcolm still maintained
his innocence.

Well, it's been great having
the science laid out first hand,

but first off, I see a wealth
of trace evidence tying Wilde

to what is a pretty remote
deposition site.

That, along with his predilection
for young boys,

his confessed stalking
of the Forbes home

and his total lack
of alibi is enough.

You'll recommend a murder
charge? This afternoon.

Great.

Thank you, everyone.

We need to explain the Lorazepam.

If Wilde wasn't prescribed it,
where did he get it?

We don't need to answer every
question to bring a charge.

Maybe his dad was prescribed it?

Charging is premature,
and you know it.

It's out of my hands.
Really?

I thought you were the senior
investigating officer?

What about the pick-up that Hannah
and Malcolm both saw independently?

Well, he must have overheard something
at the station. These things happen.

We're about to send a potentially innocent man
to prison, and that's the best you can do?

You with us, Claire?

They were about to take us in to see
Jason's body.

And Claire asked me if we're seeing
each other.

Jesus.

We're monsters, aren't we?

What did you say?

What do you think?
I denied it.

But Ashby knows,
she absolutely knows.

I think Jason did, too.

What?

Our last session together,
he was off.

Distant.

What, with you or with everyone?

It's hard to say.

He didn't know, there's...
There's no way.

Sue...

That day...

I offered him a lift.

He declined.

Did you tell the police this?

And why didn't you tell me?

Because you were in hell.

Because if he didn't get
into my car for that reason...

...then we put him in harm's way.

Then, yeah, we are monsters.

Malcolm Wilde, I'm charging you
with the murder of Jason Forbes.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention now something
you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given
in evidence.

There's enough wrong notes,
anomalies for us to at least ask

what if Wilde isn't guilty?

And, for what it's worth,
Wilde says he's been set up.

Of course he does.

He was named on social media
on the day of his arrest.

- Which proves?
- Nothing.

But if he's not our killer,
he's the perfect fall guy.

Already the prime suspect.

With a dodgy reputation locally
that got him fired from the Scouts.

OK. Could he have been framed
by the real killer?

You could glean a lot from Wilde's
website.

- What, besides him doing work on Mayhew Farm?
- Uh-huh.

Hodgkin Building Supplies.

They stock the boiler suit
he's wearing.

And...

...the Bixley's lubricant
he keeps in his van.

OK. If the killer was trying
to set Malcolm up,

everything he needed was online.

Why risk coming back to dump
Jason's corpse?

Because the body makes it count.

Draws our eye to evidence we
wouldn't otherwise find.

None of this changes the fact

that the evidence was sufficient for
the CPS.

No, but if there's one thing
that meeting told us,

it's that there's extra impetus,
pressure, whatever,

to see Malcolm charged,
and it's coming from Holloway.

Agreed.
Something's not right.

Well, whatever it is,
if we're a corrective to it,

we're just doing our job.

OK. We review all the evidence we
have, but that's our remit, yeah?

The evidence. We're not running some
sort of parallel inquiry.

And everything goes through me.

Understood?

Understood.

You have a go. If you think
you're hard enough.

You're just not strong enough.

Go on, put your back in to it.

Anti-static grid weave in action.

You can cut that with a machine
tool, but it won't snag on wire,

and it definitely won't tear off
in a strip like that.

So it was placed there?

I think it all was.

All right, thank you, everyone.

Clarissa.

Sorry I didn't call ahead.

Oh, no problem.

I'm pretty rammed, but come on in.

Oh, we're OK.

On the Simon Hill case,
you gave me my first post

in the field when no-one
thought it was a good idea.

When I wasn't sure it was
a good idea.

That was huge.

Still is.

Pure self interest.

You're great at your job,
I wanted you at the coalface.

Look, if I'm barking up the wrong
tree, I apologise in advance.

Sounds ominous.

I've been wondering if...

If you dumped the local lab
for the Lyell because you want

a lab you can control,
the same way you control DCI Ashby.

A lab dependent on London
cases for work.

A lab with a friendly face.

Someone you know and trust?

Certainly sounds like the wrong
tree, but carry on.

It was the pick-up, wasn't it?

I heard it from the scene
of crime officer on Simon Hill.

Heard what?

How a witness came forward
late in the day.

Pavel Tadic.

He'd seen Simon getting in a pick-up
truck with a man in his 50s.

But CPS had pressed
play on the prosecution

and the witness was ignored.

He wasn't ignored.
We took a statement.

When you heard about the pick-up
seen near Jason's judo club,

you must have panicked.

Same victim type, same deluge
of evidence pointing to a local.

You knew there was a chance
it was the same killer,

and Carl Brady was innocent.

I never even made the link because
I never doubted for a second...

A chance. That was enough.

2010, I told you.

Hair from Brady's cat
could have been planted.

This is news to you, but Carl Brady
is appealing his conviction

for the Simon Hill murder.

It would be a gift to his lawyers
if one of the forensic team

that put him away expressed doubts
about his guilt,

publicly aired the notion that the
real killer evaded justice

to strike again.

Now, if you were complicit
in Brady's walking free

after eight years in prison, you'll
also be complicit if he celebrates

by killing another young boy.

Hi.

I used to come here with my son
years ago.

Right.

There's a guy, used to run
this place. Paul?

Pavel? Pavel! That's right.

Yeah, he taught my son to sail.

Smashing bloke.

Went back to Kyiv.
Didn't like England.

Right.

That's a shame.

Typical Ukrainian, too emotional.

Took everything to heart.

Nice talking to you.

What's your name?

We talk sometimes to Pavel
about suppliers and stuff.

Don't worry,
wouldn't remember me.

The witness who saw Simon getting
in the pick-up.

Pavel Tadic. He ran a boat rental
place on the river.

Can we skip back a bit?

Why was Brady a suspect
in the first place?

He was Simon's chemistry teacher
and their relationship was...

...inappropriately close.

Based on...?

E-mail correspondence I found
on Brady's laptop.

It suggested an...
inappropriately close relationship.

Only suggested? Yes.

But when Simon's body turned up,
I found hairs on his clothing

from Brady's cat.

Sounds compelling.

Yeah.

Some of the hairs lacked follicles,
raising the possibility

they'd been cut
and therefore planted.

Did that go in your report?

Of course.

Holloway asked me to characterise
that explanation

as possible, but unlikely,
and I did.

Why?

Well, cos that's what I believed.

Only a minority of the hairs
were cut, so I...

You let this man
emotionally blackmail you...

Why, through some
misguided sense of loyalty

because he let you out
for the first time?

Must have felt like
you owed him a lot.

Maybe I did.

When I went back to the scene...
something hit me.

Why did the killer leave Simon
by the water?

It made no sense.

If he'd rolled him in,

then the cat hairs and other trace
would have been lost.

Because maybe the killer
wanted the body to be found.

MacNeil said Holloway
was all over their case

to a strange degree for a lofty AC.

Is this case the reason?

I think it is, yeah.

Holloway's written countless papers

on the so-called
"Close to Home" theory.

It contends that the media obsession
with serial killers

has led to a weakness in detectives
to see their handiwork

where it doesn't exist.

And miss the mundane truth
that a local usually did it.

Mundane and comparatively cheap -
no task force required.

So we're not just talking about
the Simon Hill case.

We're talking about the reputation
of an assistant commissioner,

widely tipped for the top job.

Hold the lift, please.

Dr Alexander.

Assistant Commissioner.

Got a bit carried away
in the CPS meeting. Apologies.

Nonsense.
We all have to fight our corners.

What brings you here
at this late hour?

Just wanted to update DCI Ashby
on a few things.

Must be important
if a call wouldn't do.

I've got results back

which expand the window when
the body could have been frozen.

And how does that impact
on Wilde's alibi?

It's less, not more likely,
to exclude him.

Welcome news, then.

Bet it's in by lunchtime.

Nikki!

You didn't return my call.

Well, you know, I've been busy.

Sorry,
I should have called you back.

D'you want to come in?

You look like you need a drink.

Mm! I'm on the fruit juice,
I'm afraid.

I'll have a lime and soda
in solidarity.

What's up?

We've come across a case from 2010
which casts doubt on Wilde's guilt.

AC Tim Holloway was the senior
investigating officer.

Where were you thinking?

To pull the evidence
from the 2010 case,

I need approval
from inspector rank or above.

Are we talking about Simon Hill?

I know the case.

Holloway mentioned it
on the SIO fast-track course.

Which you attended.
Which I attended.

Different MO, though, Nikki.

Simon Hill was strangled, not shot.

Urban location, not rural.

But the shared victimology's
still striking -

blond, athletic boys
in their early teens.

I wouldn't say striking.
Marginal overlap's nearer.

A witness saw Simon
standing by a pick-up with a man.

The two of them then got in
and drove off.

Sorry, Nikki, but I'm not
hearing anything that

justifies diverting time and
resources away from Wilde.

Fair enough.

Holloway's in overall command of
every murder team in London, right?

Mm-hm.

When did he start paying such
close attention to Jason Forbes?

A rural case that you were
just helping out with.

Was it after Hannah Divine
came forward about the pick-up?

I just want to review
Simon Hill's Path report.

If there's no more links
or commonalities, we leave it there.

How did you find me?

I'm a detective.

Ah!

What's going on?

Got a hair sample here
from Simon Hill.

Looks like it was taken
to confirm DNA.

Yeah, but not tested for drugs.

It's not an oversight.
There was no reason to.

Right. Given the lorazepam
in Jason's blood,

it's a test we should run now.

Whatever else,
Holloway was thorough.

The Forbes own a motorhome, right?

Yeah, why?

So did Simon Hill's parents.

Looks like we should go and see
the Forbes again.

Your motorhome,

can you tell me about
the last few times you've used it?

We only really take it out
for our main summer holiday.

- And whereabouts are we talking?
- Spain normally.

But last year, Jason said
he wanted to see more of the UK.

So we went to a campsite on Exmoor.

And did anything unusual happen
at the campsite?

Any encounters with strangers,
friendly or otherwise?

Mm... No. Not really.

Our motorhome developed a fault.

So, who took care of that for you?

The campsite owner
recommended someone.

Did a good job, and...

...it was cheap.

Could you describe him for me?

Late 50s, 60s. Beard.

He drove an American-style truck,
you know, a pick-up?

Anything else?

He'd been a boxer in his day,

and him and Jason got talking
about that.

And about Jason's judo.

Jason ended up helping him out.

Uh, spanner, please.

Ta.

No, the big one.

All right!

Jason... start her up.

Uh!

Well, it's a bloody head-scratcher,
Jason, pardon my French.

We'll go again, eh?

Why are you asking about him?

What's going on?

Just like the Forbes',
the campsite owner recommended a mechanic.

Took him a day to show up,
but he was cheap and friendly.

The Hills don't remember him
paying Simon special attention,

but it was nine years ago,

and their description matches
Tina Forbes'.

OK, thanks, Jotie. Great work.

That's why Jason and Simon
got in his truck.

They knew him.

Knew and liked him.

The man who saved
the summer holiday.

But he only seems to operate
in summer.

What about the rest of the time?

Mick?

It's me, Ben.

From the campsite, in Somerset.

Ben! What are you doing here?

Oh, just passing through.
I've got a job out on the coast.

I thought you lived up north.

Well, you know me,
go wherever the work is.

So, how you been? OK.

Family well?
Everyone's good, thanks.

- Fancy a spin for old time's sake?
- Got to get home.

Well, I could drop you home after.

Take a turn behind the wheel,
if you like.

I can't drive!

Well, I'd be riding shotgun.

I passed a nice flat field
on the way in.

My dad'll go nuts.

Well, your dad'll never know
about it.

Much better to ask forgiveness
than permission.

Good man, Greg.

Tell us a bit more about Mick.

Oh, he's a bit of an eccentric!

Goes dark sometimes
and don't answer his phone.

But he's a great mechanic,
and he's bloody cheap.

- How does he interact with the families?
- Fine.

He's a natural with the kids.

I think they see him as a...
a bit of an outlaw!

This card?

Yeah, that's it.

And when did YOU last see him?

Ah, six months ago.

He fixed up a VW van
and did some work for me.

What did that work entail, Greg?

He just changed
the engine's oil filter.

Where did the filter come from?

Uh, Mick picked it up for us.
Just put it on the bill.

So it was brand-new?

Yeah, I-I stood right here
and watched him unbox it.

Thanks, Greg. We'll drop by
your office before we go.

Cheers, Greg.

Weird, isn't it?

Running into each other again.

One man's coincidence
is another man's fate.

That's deep.

Before the Roman came to Rye
or out to Severn strode,

The rolling English drunkard
made the rolling English road.

A merry road, a mazy road,
and such as we did tread

The night we went to Birmingham
by way of Beachy Head.

- That's nice.
- It's sad, too.

Cos it's a world we've lost.

A world without rules.

- I should get going, Mick.
- Yeah, sure.

Are your parents at home?

Won't be back till later.

What time?

Seven or eight. Why?

- You OK?
- Yeah.

No.

Sit down.

I feel... ill.

The rolling road, Ben.

That's where we're headed.

We might have Mick's prints
on an oil filter.

Yes!

Oh.

Oh! Sorry, prints don't link
to a name.

Unsolved case.

Let's see...

It was an attempted abduction
of 13-year-old Darren Costi,

back in 2001, in Northamptonshire.

The assailant's prints and DNA
were recovered from Darren's watch

and fingernails respectively.

He described his attacker as suited,
40s, driving a black Mercedes.

And what's the location?

A country lane.

He was cycling home
when he was run off the road.

Jesus! Number three.

Excuse me.

All right? All right?

Tim Holloway.

Julie Coulson in Archives, sir.

You gave me a list of sensitive
cases you wanted a heads-up on

in the event someone pulled
the files...

Which file?

We've just reviewed the postmortem
photographs from Simon Hill.

At the PM, we found this -

a high-viscosity liquid
on Simon's shirt.

Enough for Clarissa to ID a brand.

It's KX hydraulic fluid.

Used, among other things,
on lorry tail lifts.

Then... we found these stripes
on his back.

Looks like lividity marks.

Left within a few hours of death.

- Any idea what caused them?
- Well, the ground by the river was flat.

So these marks were made
before he was placed there,

which took me back to lorries.

And in this case...

...refrigerated lorries.

The stripes are consistent
with a T-floor design

used in refrigerated transport.

A kind of bar-and-groove structure
used to prevent ice build-up.

Maybe, but we didn't find
those marks on Jason.

What we DO know is he evolved.

By the time he takes Simon in 2010,

he's grooming the boys in advance
and forensically framing suspects.

So, with Jason, he evolves again.

Freezing him for months
before he risks returning the body

to the scene.

It's possible he knows
we distinguish victims by MO,

so he strangles one, shoots another
and strikes miles apart.

He wants to make it look
like a local.

He knows that you plough
huge resources into serial cases.

And it's much better if his crimes
are never linked in the first place.

Because the one thing
he can't change is his victim type.

So, what does this have to do
with Mick's appearance?

If we're right,
if misdirection is his thing,

then maybe the scruffy clothes
and the truck are part of that.

In 2001, our attacker was
well-dressed and driving a Mercedes.

Mick is like a disguise. Yes.

That he removes once he's groomed
his next victim.

We've got a new suspect.

I told you to make our case
against Wilde bulletproof.

Instead,
you're shooting holes in it,

digging up a case I solved
eight years ago.

No doubt Clarissa Mullery
put that idea in your head.

Did you ignore a witness statement

about Simon getting in a pick-up
with a middle-aged man?

- I am not about to defend myself to you.
- It's an easy enough question.

I am removing you from this case
as of now. DS MacNeil as well.

This inquiry needs new blood, not
to mention rudimentary discipline.

Well, my husband will be pleased!

Not now.

Hair analysis shows there was
lorazepam in Simon Hill's system.

Like Jason, he was given the drug
regularly for about a month

prior to his death.

Right. Carry on, Claire,
I need a moment.

How are you feeling, Ben?

What am I doing here?

I didn't know what you liked,

so, uh, bought you a whole load
of stuff.

I need to go.

Aren't you going to help me unpack?

I've traced the original crossed-out
number to a batch from 2008,

distributed by a phone shop
in Orwick, Northamptonshire.

That's five miles from where Darren
Costi was assaulted in 2001.

Feels like Northamptonshire
could be his home turf.

Or WAS.

Clarissa...

...see me out.

Yeah.

Please tell DCI Ashby...
whatever she wants, I'll sort it.

Right.

If I thought for a moment
that Brady hadn't done it,

I wouldn't have asked you to dial down your
concerns about the hairs being planted.

OK.

I'm not sure that gets you off the
hook if an innocent man went to prison.

Nor me for that matter.

- No.
- No.

- Hey!
- Grandpa Henry!

You, OK, Dad? Said I'd pop by.

Ah, yes, course you did.

- Just knackered from the drive still on French time.
- Ah!

That's only an hour ahead.

Oh, I see someone's still
a know-it-all!

He's a nightmare, Grandpa Henry.

Come on inside. Come on.

- How was your trip?
- It was great!

We went all the way to Moscow.

Did I ever tell you,

we were the first haulage company
to cross the Iron Curtain?

Yeah, once or twice!

What are we going
to do with him, Zoe?

- Zoe!
- Dad, I've ordered some new forklifts

and I've paid a fortune for a demo.

And you want to make sure you get
your money's worth. Yeah. I'm there!

Come on, kids.

Well, what was wrong
with the old forklifts?

They're knackered, Dad.

Come on.

Well, if you're saying he got
his phone in 2008,

then, no, I can't be sure!

I don't keep records
going back that far.

Is there a local
mechanical garage near?

Um... There...
There was... eight, ten years ago.

How about a dairy farm?

A food packaging centre,
something like that?

Anywhere I might find
a refrigerated truck.

You'd find a fleet of those
at Ramsden Haulage.

Yeah, a few mechanics, too.

Ah, can I help you?

DS John MacNeil.
This is Jack Hodgson.

- Henry Ramsden.
- You're the owner?

Well, in name only.

My daughter runs the ship now,
but she's away on holiday.

We're investigating
the recent murder of Jason Forbes

and we'd like to look
at your refrigerator trucks.

Absolutely.
Uh, will you bring him up?

Been looking at
the lividity on Simon Hill's back.

I think one of the bars on the
container floor might be damaged.

I'll send over a reference image.

It starts where?

OK.

Different flooring.

I don't see any damage to the bars.

Can we look at these ones?

Same width and spacing.

I need to know who was driving
this truck in March 2010.

I'm not sure the log
goes back that far.

It should do.
They're all on Emma's computer.

- Sorry, she must have archived it.
- Can we call her?

Just... give me a minute.

All right, take your time.

Looks like you built this place up
the hard way.

What I loved was that the routes
were already there,

waiting to be discovered.

You just had to go out
and find them.

I mean, if someone told me
I couldn't get X to Krakow or Cairo

first thing tomorrow, then...

...that was all the encouragement
I needed.

There we go. The lorry in question
was there for all of March 2010.

Is it normal for a lorry
to be off the road so long?

Must've needed some major repairs.

Give me a second.

- That's weird.
- What?

Nothing in the repair database
about the lorry in question.

So just to be clear,
it wasn't on the roads

and it wasn't being repaired.

- So it was just sat here?
- Yeah.

A perfectly good lorry
out of action for a month.

- Someone must have flagged that, surely.
- Oh, come on.

Mistakes get made.

You're making a mountain
out of a molehill.

How d'you know?

What?

How do you know we're making
a mountain out of a molehill?

Much of a mechanic yourself, Henry?

He taught our mechanics
everything they know.

Stay put.

Stay... put.

- Aah!
- John?!

Jesus!

Call an ambulance!

Stay with him!

Oh!

Uh!

He killed him just to slow me down.

You OK?

I'll be fine.

Guv, can I have a word?

Are you all right, boss?

- Yeah.
- There's something else.

Ben Taylor, 13,
reported missing late last night.

Oh, God.

And a witness saw a man
fitting Mick's description

enter his house a few hours earlier.

Get SOCOs and Forensics
to Mick's house.

We could be looking for a body.

If we start round the back...

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

Ben!

I found this map.

We're here.

If this is right, we're standing
in a building now.

Look at this.

Ben! Ben!

- Bolt-cutters.
- Ben!

Ben...

Ben!

Oh, my God.

Ben?

It's OK, Ben. I'm a police officer.

It's OK.

You're going to be OK now.

..our community
is much poorer for his passing.

Jason was a boy who lived life
to the full.

And when I spoke to his friends
and family in preparation for today,

the same words came up
again and again...

I just feel for his family so much.

Thank you both for all you've done.

Oh, please.

- Please accept our condolences.
- Thank you.

How's Ben doing?

He's doing well.

I hope they make it.

Yeah, me, too.

Thanks for coming, Nikki.

Thanks for everything.

It's OK.

I'll see you in court.

Good luck with the baby.

Hm!

Hello.

- How are you?
- OK.

On average, a woman leaves
an abusive relationship seven times

before she leaves for good.

We've found a body.

We believe it may be your wife.

And you think she was drunk
because you found the gin bottle?

Sorry, you know what this place is,
yeah?

The women who come here are not OK.
We are broken.

We collected DNA from the women
she was going to meet.

How guilty is he?

If you are capable of hurting your wife
like this, you are capable of killing her.

I didn't kill her.
