Peter Drake has agreed to come in for questioning.

What about David White? David White's whereabouts are currently unknown.

We need to talk about control.

I'd like to play the shopping game.

Also missing is Mary Berkman. And what of Victoria?

Victoria was repeatedly abused throughout her childhood by her father

and by others.

Quite possibly Carl Lowry. This is the natural order of things. You know this.

And Vincent Dwyer, for she remains our prime suspect in their murders.

Victoria was here in my office, Jeanette. More people are dead, and I've

just had a sight in my prime suspect.

We will talk when I get home. Do you understand that?

Hello. Budge up, Ben.

So, who do you know here?

That's my father, over there.

Talking to your father.

And that's my sister, Eleanor.

She's about your age.

Do you want your tea?

My father said you're very clever.

That you're very bright for your age.

You're right.

My name's called Lowry.

It's lovely to meet you, Victoria.

And? She's stubborn.

But you're a gentleman.

Of course.

Then you've done all you can.

You're learning an important lesson.

But I cannot control her.

You have a path ahead of you to forge, and you shoulder the burden of winning

her round. You cannot control the mind without first.

The control of the body.

But control her you shall.

And what if I don't?

She's yours for the taking.

Peter Drake would like it known that I have come in today of my own free will

and am fully cooperating with this investigation.

As a valued and active member of the community, I reject the implication that

I am in any way involved in the murders in question.

I have worked at Beecham College for many years, beginning as a geography

teacher, finally becoming headmaster.

During my tenure, I have been solely responsible for private fundraisers,

expanding the outreach program.

as well as funding the school's charitable bursary, which continues to

run to this day.

I unreservedly deny any involvement in organized fighting, legal or otherwise,

and any exploitation of children in any form. The recent events are a tragedy

and a stain on history.

I have also brought along multiple character witness statements.

Okay.

Well, we're not interested in any of that.

Couldn't give a fuck.

Now, I appreciate you don't want to talk to us, Mr Drake, but I'm going to put my

cards on the table here and I'm going to say I think you're involved.

I really do.

But more importantly than that, in following the deaths of Carl Lowry and

Ben Berkman, if you are involved, we believe you are in imminent danger.

And the only way we can help you is if you talk to us.

Are you arresting my client? No, we're not.

Thank you. But someone's out there killing young men.

We're done here. One of your former pupils is placing their bodies and

taking out people closely connected to you.

Another one of your pupils and her family are either missing or dead.

More people are going to die.

And it'll be on your conscience if it's not you next.

Let me be clear with you, Peter. I think you're going to die.

I don't have the proof, but I think that's what's going to happen. You need

protective custody, or at least allow us to place an officer outside your home.

Oh, then I'll shake your hand, because if you leave this room without our help,

you and I aren't going to see each other again, Mr. Drake. This isn't

questioning. This is intimidation.

Mr. Drake.

Who?

Mr. Drake.

I'll be frightened of you, Madeline.

Because you're so small.

So scared yourself.

But when we both figure out that it's okay to just be, that's the moment

I'll stop being scared of you.

I'll learn to do your nappy.

your tiny little nails brush your hair

all without hurting you then when you grow

up we'll make up dances together

to bring our friends home for sleepovers

You're so well on your GCSEs.

At a new school. A better school.

You'll grow.

You'll still call me.

Forge Gladiator.

You're mine.

More importantly, I'm yours.

You're safe with me.

So you've got nothing out of Drake, and now we've got minutes to get our ducks

in a row ahead of the press conference.

I don't know if you've heard, someone just called in a body in a crypt in a

local church, which is obviously the last thing we need.

The press are in a frenzy as it is.

The body was decades old.

Don't worry about it. I've got uniform handling it.

So, as it stands, we have 16 dead bodies.

More bodies than the city sees in an entire year.

It's national news. We've got a farm crawling with human remains, every

trough, every slop bucket.

Dwyer was disposing of these poor young men to pigs, which, if that wasn't

upsetting enough, means a recall of all food products originating from the farm.

And we're down an officer. Thank you, Jeanette. Your little cabinet reshuffle

could have waited a month or two. Thank you.

If I see another reel, another TikTok, we need nice, neutral BBC.

Oh.

Where are we?

Victoria Berkman. And we have IDs now for those bodies, which is something.

Nice. We can't name them publicly. We haven't even spoken to the families.

Have you traced them? Not yet, but I'm trying. We're under no legal obligation

to let them know. It's a job for the Home Office. That's true, but it's the

right thing to do. I need to go out there and give the press something.

Well, you need to give them something else.

Thank you.

I'm going to keep my idea in the void in the freezer.

No.

With the greatest respect, that's no longer your job.

You've created a system that works. Now delegate. You're needed elsewhere.

Good. We maintain unity and, above all, confidence. Tell me exactly what it is

you want me to say. I don't want you to say anything.

You've done quite enough.

Our team is at your office after footprints.

When we finish, could you come with me so I can get fingerprints so we can

eliminate them?

I can do that with Sophia, Mike.

Nice to see you.

You OK?

Hi.

Are you ready?

Those present are DC Mike Dilliston, myself, DCI Jeanette Kilburn,

interviewing...

Dr. Sophia Craven.

Can you talk us through what happened last night in your own words?

Yes. So I was, um, finishing up in my office and...

And then she sort of... She appeared out of nowhere.

Can you clarify by she?

Oh, yes. Sorry, Victoria.

Uh, Berkman. She attacked you? She did lunge at me and, um...

We struggled, we fell to the ground, and I managed to back away from her, but she

kept crawling towards me.

Was there any witnesses or CCTV?

There was nothing.

She quoted the Bible.

Which passage?

Um, it was, uh...

Many I am.

My name is Legion, for we are many.

That's right.

Mark, chapter 5, verse 9.

It's a story about a man who was possessed by demons.

Jesus cast them out of him and into pigs.

And then?

The pigs all drowned.

Jesus' triumph over evil.

Do you have any clue what she could be referring to?

No.

Did she say anything else at all?

Yes, yes.

She kept saying she's gone, she's gone.

And she said, is it not just us, you know?

Then?

And then she vanished.

We have reason to believe that Victoria might be keeping Mary Bergman somewhere.

Do you think she's capable of murdering her own mother, Sophia?

I think if she were going to kill her, she would have done it already.

What was it like, the relationship?

Between Victoria and her mother?

Oh.

Her mother was blind.

Vacuous, self-centered, cruel.

Do you want you to look for something?

Fear in Bristol is heavy today, as grisly discoveries... Our bodies have

been recovered from a working farm, and with the police yet to make any arrests,

it would appear... I feel scared to go out, to be honest with you, yeah.

Following the recent deaths of noted local businessmen, the death toll has

continued to rise considerably.

Police have been in and out for decades... We

are... Maybe...

We have no reason to believe the two are connected.

We have yet to identify the victim.

and would urge the general public to come forward if they have any

information.

You in a better mood today? No, not really, Mike.

Yesterday was a complete shit show for you. Yeah, you're right. I lost my cool

a little bit, but we're here now, so let's just forget about it.

Hey. All right? You all right, mate?

We're still working our way through the bodies from the freezers, but Tox has

come back on for three, and Lidocaine is confirmed in all of them.

Good. Cheers, pal.

Now, Armand Dwyer is a different matter.

His tox has come back negative for any painkillers, recreational drugs,

alcohol, etc, etc.

He's totally clean.

No lidocaine in him, crucially.

So he would have felt everything?

Everything.

You ready to take a look?

Yeah, sure.

Mike, have you done one of these before?

Not a PM.

I'll just turn back.

Mike, it's fine. It's fine.

Straight ahead.

The guy's in the bottom right door.

So you're saying someone wanted him to suffer?

Yeah, he'd have felt absolutely everything.

You all right? Mm-hmm.

Okay, so as you can see, he'd received a blow to the back of the head.

Eva!

Yeah?

Are these items from Madeleine Birkman?

Um, no.

They're from the body we called in from St. Jordan's Church.

Could you run us through the PM? What is it, Mike? Come and have a look at this.

What's that?

What's this either?

This was all on the body they brought in from the crypt.

Okay, Mike, can you... What am I looking at, Mike? Look at the logo on the

receipt.

Beecham College.

Oh, well bloody done, Michael.

We're going to need to see this body.

Yeah, there's a high chance it's one of ours.

Oh, well done, Michael. Well done.

This

is

like that nightmare when you've got a test that you haven't revised for.

And I haven't written up anything formally yet. It's fine.

Okay. So, we have a young female here.

I'd age her somewhere between 14 and 18, going from the pelvic fusion.

Due to the condition in which she was entombed, a lot of the tissue has

decomposed, but the head, neck, torso, the right arm...

That's pretty well preserved.

Call the death.

Believe it or not, drowning.

So she was placed?

Yeah. With Mark, too.

Where she's been dragged.

No external signs of injury or blunt force trauma. We sent her liver off to

tox. And the dirt that we found under her fingernails, that's filth.

Plus this plant matter in her hair, in her throat, diatoms in her lungs, which,

OK, that could be for a myriad of reasons, but marry that with the above,

and I'd wait as she drowned in fresh water.

How long was she in the crypt?

Now, that's the interesting part.

Excuse me.

See these?

They're fillings, but they're dental amalgam. Christ, I've got one of them.

Yeah, well, you could be entitled to compensation.

A joke.

It's just they're not particularly used anymore.

I mean, they're vintage.

And if we take the attrition into account, then I'd say late 90s,

early noughties.

That body's directly connected to this case.

We'll have to get people through it, Parkin. Maybe the fuck I'll talk now

that another body's turned up. We need to go to Prince to add to the database.

Prince, you've got the fears, right?

Do you know? Sorry, I forgot.

Call her.

Don't worry about it. I'll message her. You might forget again.

Min.

Hang on a minute.

I won't stop. I just thought you should know that the body that was found at St

Jordan's Church is one of ours.

Are you mad?

No, she went to Beecham College, probably the same time as Victoria. I

mean, she's... She's one of ours, Verity, I promise you. You want me to go

and solve this? Let me go and solve it, please.

And what if she isn't? Then I'll give her back!

Sorry. Go on.

Mr. Drake in today?

What do you need?

I want to speak with him.

No, he, um, it's Sunday. He goes home after service on a Sunday.

Can you tell him that I called for him?

It's urgent.

Of course.

Thank you.

Would you keep a record if any of your students went missing?

Missing?

I mean, I've been here near on ten years and no one's gone missing to my

knowledge. No missing girls?

And late 90s, early noughties?

Gosh, no.

Do you keep any records of former students?

Well, yes, but it all depends on what you're looking for.

I'd love a list of all your female students from mid-90s to 2005.

Absolutely, yes. I can email it to you. Yep.

That's great.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Are the birth-through recipients on that list?

Um, er, they... No, we only take two a year. They wouldn't be.

Why not?

I suppose I don't know, really.

It's just the way we've always done it.

Do you have our birth-through list anymore?

Would you like me to send that over?

Same time frame?

I would.

Thank you.

I've been having blackouts.

Memory loss thoughts.

There are periods of time I just can't account for.

That's very concerning to hear.

This morning I woke up in a car.

A car?

Yes. I was... I was sat in the driver's seat and I was outside a church.

Sorry.

This is real.

Isn't it a dream?

It's very real, unfortunately.

Was it your car?

I don't have a car.

I don't even drive.

I have absolutely no idea how I got there.

I can see from your notes in front of me.

That a few months ago you attempted suicide again.

What do my notes say?

Would you like to read them?

We could read them together if you want.

You're more than welcome. They're about you after all.

Victoria came back.

You're missing Clyde.

Who everyone is looking for. Yes.

So, why don't you tell me about the physical symptoms you're experiencing?

They're just as important.

Memory loss.

Gaps of time, I...

I can't remember.

I'll wake up in places.

I get headaches.

Yes, this was, um, this was two days ago.

It was evening, I was in my office. Why were you in your office?

You're signed off for a reason.

Inside of a patient wasn't enough, Sophia.

I'm surprised.

And concerned.

I know.

I do know.

But I have to keep working for my own sanity.

Please, it grounds me being with other people.

Sometimes... Sometimes I don't feel like a

person at all.

I don't feel... human.

I believe you.

I can't even begin to consider overturning the sign-off.

I'd like you to get an MRI, please.

I've got lists.

Great. Can you call me back when you've finished eating?

A bit quick.

Great, I've got a list.

OK. Of all pupils who attended Beecham College through from 1995 to 2005.

I've also got a list of all the students on that bursary list.

You know, the one that Peter Drake set up. Now, the school keeps those lists

totally separate.

Yeah? How come?

That's an excellent question.

Start with those girls on that bursary list.

OK. Only take two students a year, so there's a reasonable chance that, you

know, one of them might have gotten lost in the system.

OK, but... But what, Mike? You've got to follow the case, OK?

OK. Thank you.

I'm just going to quickly take my prints in, then I'll crack on, OK? OK, yeah,

OK.

I'm going to head back.

If that's OK with you, I haven't seen Joan in a while, so... Sure, OK.

Speak to you tomorrow. Bye. OK, good.

Get a grip.

Get a grip.

Get a grip!

Right thumb.

Left thumb, please.

All right?

Sit down.

Okay.

Anyone died, or... No one's died.

Don't sit there like a grim fucking reaper. I think you should move out.

I'm sorry, what did you say? I know this is difficult, but... No, no, no, you

don't get to make this. Please, listen to me.

Okay.

This wasn't an easy conclusion to come to. You said it pretty fucking easily.

I'm thinking of Joe.

He needs stability right now, consistency, and he's not getting it.

The person keeping the erratic hours disappearing for days at a time is you.

I'm sorry.

I really am.

I know it's not your fault it's this case, but I'm worried about him, and I'm

worried about you.

Where am I supposed to go to, Alex?

What?

Your dad came by earlier. What?

What?

This is unbelievable. You two have made a plan together to shit me off?

Do you know what? Just forget this. You can take my son, you can take my mum,

you can take the fucking lot.

I told them to expect your call and...

What are you doing right this instant?

I'm out and about.

Care to join?

Yeah.

found itself facing the largest murder spree in its history, as more bodies

were recovered yesterday across the city.

This is the latest in an extraordinary fate of killing that has seen bodies

recovered from all across Bristol and its surrounding areas.

Following the death of noted local businessman Carl Lowry, the death toll

has risen considerably, with the police yet to name further victims.

In an unprecedented series of events... with the city reeling from the news that

a body has been recovered. The number you have dialed is not available.

Oh, that barmaid, she absolutely fancied you. Yes, she did. She didn't.

I don't know, you're the only thing that really thought I couldn't walk.

Fuck, fuck, I can't believe it. I can't.

What?

What? Go on.

I fought with Alex tonight. Oh, no.

Yeah. Oh.

Him and my dad have been plotting behind my back.

Anyway, listen, I really fucking needed this.

You are gorgeous. Thank you. Oh, darling.

It's fine.

Bloody hell.

That made me jump out of my skin the other morning. What the hell is that?

Yes?

It's done.

Now bring me in.

I'm afraid he's going to need more.

I have done everything you have asked of me.

I have moved heaven and fucking earth!

Now bring me in!

He needs one more.

She knows too much.

All righty.

How is Operation Defrost?

Last body, last PM.

I want to get him straight. We rotate the hips. I want him supine.

Okay, good.

Oh.

I thought they were all male.

All male.
