[CLOCK TICKING]

3
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,359
Bulbs in the sink?

4
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,199
I've never seen that before.

5
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,359
You don't get this
good without practice.

6
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,359
The minute he sets foot
on these properties,

7
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,359
he's in control.
It's his house.

8
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,359
It's outrageous.

9
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,360
Not with just what he's done, but
how long he's got away with it.

10
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,359
Nathan, that possible Minstead
case the borough sent over -

11
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,559
when was that? Last night.

12
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,359
Colbridge Road in Bromley.

13
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,359
And what ruled it out,
the victimology? Yeah.

14
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,720
We could do worse than
give it a second look.

15
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,359
This is Gavin Forbes,
son of the homeowner.

16
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,039
When I got back
from the hospital,

17
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,039
I went to get a glass of
orange from the fridge.

18
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,359
The carton was almost empty.

19
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,359
What, and you think the intruder
might've helped himself?

20
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,359
It's the only explanation.

21
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,359
It's not that bloke
attacking old ladies?

22
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,399
Yes, it is, I'm
afraid. Oh, Jesus.

23
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,359
What is it, Gavin?

24
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,360
Mum's room is downstairs.

25
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,360
Let's figure out how he got in.

26
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,719
Any luck? We've
got him on camera.

27
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,719
Coming and going.

28
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,359
DNA on the orange carton is a
100% match for Minstead Man.

29
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,399
We're gonna need to widen
our screening criteria.

30
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,359
That means more offences.

31
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,359
Well, so be it. But you
haven't got the manpower.

32
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,399
Not when you're treating
every offence like a murder.

33
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,359
Yeah.

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,360
Then something's got to change.

35
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,360
What are you thinking?

36
00:02:46,361 --> 00:02:48,360
It's too much. It's too late.

37
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,359
Good work, Nathan.

38
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,559
Taking a closer look.

39
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,359
Er, no, that was
all Mr Sutton, boss.

40
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,360
Oh, well, the DNA
from the juice carton

41
00:02:58,361 --> 00:03:01,359
would've linked them soon
enough. Yes, it would.

42
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,359
What does needs a look at
is the screening criteria,

43
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,359
cos if it's as flawed as
this offence suggests,

44
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,359
we could be missing
scores of Minstead crimes.

45
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,360
Such as?

46
00:03:10,361 --> 00:03:13,359
Burglaries with, er,
no sexual assault.

47
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,560
Burglaries with no attempt
to engage with the homeowner.

48
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,399
Well, I'm confident we're not
missing scores of crimes, Colin.

49
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,359
He's one man, but, of course...

50
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,359
the criteria will be reviewed.

51
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,360
OK.

52
00:03:25,361 --> 00:03:28,199
Can I have a word, Nathan?

53
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,360
Yes, guv.

54
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,360
With all respect, sir, we're
not the bloody burglary squad.

55
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,360
They're acting like
a murder squad,

56
00:03:39,361 --> 00:03:41,359
but they're dealing with
four times the cases

57
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,360
on half the resources.

58
00:03:42,361 --> 00:03:45,199
Any manpower left over
gets pissed up the wall

59
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,399
swabbing for DNA.

60
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,359
As an analyst, I can tell you,

61
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,399
if they're screening out
legitimate Minstead cases,

62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,359
that's chronic.

63
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,879
Maybe they ought to be
a bloody burglary squad.

64
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,199
They're trying to find a
bloody burglar, after all.

65
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,359
Did you hear what I said?

66
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,359
Incomplete data is bad data,

67
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,359
and bad data is diesel
in a petrol car.

68
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,359
It's worse than
nothing. Yeah, I get it.

69
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,359
They want to preserve
and gather evidence,

70
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,879
but what's their
underlying objective?

71
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,359
They don't need to
prove new offences.

72
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,359
Once he's caught, the DNA
from the historic offences

73
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,360
guarantees he goes
down for life.

74
00:04:15,361 --> 00:04:18,359
Yeah. Yeah. We just
need to find him,

75
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,359
and anything that doesn't
serve that has got to stop.

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,040
Call it Minstead Lite.

77
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,359
That's good. SHE LAUGHS

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,359
Actually, that's
brilliant, I'm having that.

79
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,359
That's gonna be my pitch
to Hamish - Minstead Lite.

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,720
Copyright Surrey Police, please.

81
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,359
Is that gonna be enough,
though? How d'you mean?

82
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,359
Well, it might free up
some manpower and time,

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,200
but what are they gonna do
with it? More bloody swabbing?

84

VOICE INSIDE: Come in.

86
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,359
Richard?

87
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,359
Hello, Colin. Richard,
when you get a moment,

88
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,359
could you trawl through all the
recent burglaries in the area...

89
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,719
That took place at night,

90
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,359
involved elderly occupiers,

91
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,199
which we sent back to Borough?

92
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,360
Yes.

93
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,359
I can run you off a
copy, if you like.

94
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,200
How d'you know I was
gonna ask for that?

95
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,359
Well, truth is, a few
of us have been worried

96
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,359
about the screening
process for a while.

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,359
What, incomplete
data is bad data?

98
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,360
Hmm.

99
00:05:30,361 --> 00:05:32,359
I call that the longlist.

100
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,359
OK.

101
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,359
Well, limited resources means

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,359
we can only focus on a
limited number of cases.

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,359
That means burglaries without
sufficient Minstead signatures

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,360
get returned to Borough.

105
00:05:42,361 --> 00:05:45,359
But that could be him? Yes.

106
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,359
And could potentially be
the one where he slips up.

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,359
Which is why I keep
my own expanded tally

108
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,559
alongside the official one.

109
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,359
But if even half of
these are Minstead...

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,360
He's offending on a scale that
nobody's publicly acknowledged.

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,359
Yeah, I will have
a copy of that.

112
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,359
Sure, but...

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,199
Yeah, I didn't get it from you.

114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,360
Thanks, Richard.

DCI Colin Sutton
for Hamish Campbell.

116
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,399
You can go through. Thank you.

117
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,359
CAMPBELL: Current screening
processes are excluding

118
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,360
genuine Minstead cases.
How many are we talking?

119
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,359
Course, they might
not all be him,

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,359
but there's no doubt
the majority are.

121
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,360
Bloody hell.

122
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,199
What makes you so sure?

123
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,199
Cos there's nowhere
else in the country

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,359
where burglaries with these
specific hallmarks are occurring.

125
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,039
Nowhere. They check
every morning,

126
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,359
so it's very hard to believe
that there's two blokes out there

127
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,040
committing identical crimes
in South-East London.

128
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,359
What do you propose?

129
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,359
To cope with the scale
of his offending,

130
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,359
our response needs to change.

131
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,360
We need to be more, er,
nimble, fleet-footed.

132
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,359
Sounds easier said than done.

133
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,399
Well, if it's a choice
between depth and breadth,

134
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,879
then it has to be breadth.

135
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,359
Meaning?

136
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,359
New offences aren't treated as
crimes to be fully investigated,

137
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,359
but as intelligence
opportunities.

138
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,359
We make sure that we're
caring for the victims,

139
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,359
but we focus our attention
on aspects of the case

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,359
that could help us
ID Minstead Man.

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,359
No need to generate all the actions
the murder squad approach requires?

142
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,359
Reducing that workload
will free them up

143
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,359
to assess all potential
Minstead cases,

144
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,359
and it'll accelerate
the DNA swabbing.

145
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Call it Minstead Lite.

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,039
I like the sound of that.

147
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,360
One way or the other,
I'll see it's implemented.

148
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,199
But we're still reliant
on him making a mistake,

149
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,359
which so far he's
shown no sign of doing.

150
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,359
Despite the depravity of his
acts, his planning is meticulous.

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,359
You're not convinced this
is the best way forward?

152
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,359
Well, I think it's
better than what we have.

153
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,360
What do you really think?

154
00:08:00,361 --> 00:08:02,560
If you were starting from
scratch, what would you do?

155
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,039
Ah, well, it's
frustrating, really.

156
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,359
I haven't been able to devise
a proper plan, not in ten days.

157
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,359
It's just too complex
for quick fixes.

158
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,359
It's like, erm, do you
remember that old joke

159
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,359
about a tourist going up
to a farmer and saying,

160
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,360
"what's the best way to Dingle?"

161
00:08:19,361 --> 00:08:21,359
and he gets the
reply, "Ah, well, now,

162
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,359
"if I was you, I wouldn't
be starting from here."

163
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,359
That's pretty much where
I think we are with it.

164
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,560
Where would you start from?

165
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,360
I wrote this down at the very
first meeting that I attended.

166
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,359
It's all about the DNA.

167
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,359
The DNA has slanted every avenue
of enquiry that they have followed.

168
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,399
You and I both know that
a mass swabbing programme

169
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,359
is very hard to pull off.

170
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,359
It's a tactic of last resort.

171
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,359
But they've got so much
invested in the DNA,

172
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,359
that change has
become unthinkable.

173
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,359
As an outsider looking in, I
think there must be another way.

174
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,040
I just don't know
what it is yet.

175
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,360
Will you hang around and give
this some more thought, Colin?

176
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,359
If there is a change of
direction, it can't come from me.

177
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,359
Simon's got so much
invested in Minstead.

178
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,359
I can't walk in there and tell
him it's all got to change.

179
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,360
It's awkward, I agree.

180
00:09:20,361 --> 00:09:22,359
No, it's not awkward,
it's untenable.

181
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,399
I'll make sure we look after
Simon if you tell me now

182
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,359
that you'll stick around and
devise a workable alternative plan?

183
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,359
And by "stick around,"

184
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,360
I mean past your retirement
date if necessary.

185
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,360
Yes, course I will.

186
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,359
All right.

187
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,720
All right.

188
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,359
See anything you like, Diamanda?

189
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,359
Yeah.

190
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,360
The lighter.

191
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,360
Can I take a look?

192
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,360
What?

193
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,199
I think you're
losing your touch.

194
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,360
Always coming in
here empty-handed.

195
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,560
You're just like a fucking
window shopper these days.

196
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,360
Suit yourself.

197
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,359
All right, all right, all right.

198
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,360
GROANS

199
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,200
Morning, sir. All right?

200
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,399
Guv - he hit Colbridge
Road again last night.

201
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,360
What? Come on.

202
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,360
Colin.

203
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Simon.

204
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,359
Most of the Minstead
hallmarks present and correct.

205
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,360
He stole cash and jewellery,

206
00:12:02,361 --> 00:12:05,360
but he made no attempt to
engage with the victims.

207
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,399
Victims?

208
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,360
Yeah, another elderly
couple. Shaken but unhurt.

209
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,359
Well, if targeting couples
is becoming a thing,

210
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,360
we'll need to alter
the screening criteria.

211
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360
Colin?

212
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,359
Every time we're just hoping that
this is the one where he slips up.

213
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,199
But he doesn't, so we
wait for the next one,

214
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,359
and the next and the next one.

215
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,359
We've got to get
ahead of him, Simon.

216
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,360
I don't disagree.

217
00:12:32,361 --> 00:12:34,399
But the first thing that
needs to change is this

218
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,359
"we're not a bloody
burglary squad" mantra.

219
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,879
I've never heard
anyone say that, Colin.

220
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,359
Well, I have. And
do you know what?

221
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,359
He IS a bloody burglar.

222
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,360
He's a bright one, and a weird
one, but he's still a burglar.

223
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:57,360
No cordon, no house-to-house.

224
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,399
I read your report
last night, Colin.

225
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,359
It's good work.

226
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,359
Minstead Lite takes
effect from today.

227
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,359
Thank you.

228
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,880
Look, erm...

229
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,719
..I haven't told
the others this yet,

230
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,039
but as of next week I have
to go on restricted duties

231
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,399
because of my back,

232
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,360
so I'm gonna need an SIO who's
really gonna be boots on the ground.

233
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,039
You want me to do it?

234
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,359
I've cleared it with Hamish.

235
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,359
Course, I'll still be in
overall command. Yeah.

236
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,360
And on the end of a
phone. Yeah, of course.

237
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,359
Going forward, fresh Minstead
crimes will be viewed

238
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,359
as intelligence-gathering
opportunities,

239
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,359
but not processed to the letter.

240
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,359
We'll exploit any lead
that might identify him,

241
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,359
but otherwise dispense
with statements, actions,

242
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,360
attend and bureaucracy.

243
00:13:50,361 --> 00:13:53,359
Nice one, boss. Yeah,
that'll really free us up.

244
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,359
No, it's Colin's idea. Benefit
of a fresh pair of eyes.

245
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,879
Well, let's hope
something comes of it.

246
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,199
It's timely,

247
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,359
cos we need to widen the screening
after the Colbridge Road offences.

248
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,359
Nathan.

249
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,359
Yeah, er, Minstead Man
has now hit two residences

250
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,360
with multiple occupants,

251
00:14:09,361 --> 00:14:12,359
and in neither case has he
engaged with his victims.

252
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,359
We're barely on top
of our existing cases,

253
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,360
and we're adding more?

254
00:14:15,361 --> 00:14:17,359
Barely? We're not even
touching the sides.

255
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,399
Well, now you'll have more
time. Well, not much, guv.

256
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,359
Because we're also
suspending DNA swabbing.

257
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,719
As of next week,

258
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,359
I have to go on restricted
duties on account of my back,

259
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,359
so Colin will be taking
over the day-to-day,

260
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,559
but reporting to me
directly. Thank you, Simon.

261
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,359
Yeah, Mr Morgan will very
much remain in command,

262
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,039
but I'm looking forward to working
with you all much more closely.

263
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,359
And, apologies in advance
if I'm still catching up

264
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,360
with what I appreciate is a vast
and complex case. Thank you.

265
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,039
You'll be sorely missed,
guv. Thanks, Kenny.

266
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,200
Won't be the same without you.

267
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,359
I want to mount limited
surveillance around Colbridge Road.

268
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,359
He's hit there
twice in two weeks.

269
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,359
If that's not provocation,
I don't know what is.

270
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,039
He hits it a third time, we're
gonna look seriously inept.

271
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,359
We'll look like we can't find
our arse with both hands.

272
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,359
When you say "limited",
do you mean low-key?

273
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Just a couple of blokes in cars?

274
00:15:07,361 --> 00:15:09,359
Yeah, maybe a van or two.

275
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,359
Yeah, he hasn't made a
significant mistake in 17 years.

276
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,600
Do you think he'll fall for it?

277
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,359
I think it's worth a punt.

278
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,359
Yeah and if he doesn't
risk a third go-round,

279
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,359
then no harm done.
Yeah, we had it covered.

280
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,720
Exactly. Set it
up. Nice one, guv.

281
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,039
Sorry I'm late, boss.

282
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,359
Informant kept me waiting.

283
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,359
Best ones always do.
OK, what've you got?

284
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,359
Well, I showed my snout
the jewellery pics.

285
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,359
She reckons she's seen
the silver necklace

286
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,359
belonging to the Allenhall
Road victim, Sandra Nelson.

287
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,399
Where's she seen it?

288
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,359
Pawn shop in Forest Hill.

289
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,879
Do you trust her?

290
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,359
Oh, wouldn't go that
far, but here you are.

291
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,360
She sneaked a photo.

292
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,359
That looks like the
same necklace to me.

293
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,559
Now, the owner is a Brian Royce,

294
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,359
and he should've taken
the details of the seller,

295
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,359
but even if he didn't, there's
cameras inside and out.

296
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,359
So, potentially, this Brian Royce
could give us Minstead Man's name?

297
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,359
Potentially, but Royce does have
a history of non-cooperation.

298
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,360
So, why haven't
you picked him up?

299
00:16:06,361 --> 00:16:09,719
Well, er, cos he's
also got form for GBH.

300
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Team effort, I think, guv.

301
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,359
I'll leave this for
you, Colin, I think.

302
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,359
I can certainly help
with the stab vests.

303
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,360
LAUGHTER

304
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,359
All units, all units.

305
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,359
'Be aware, I have
eyes on the suspect

306
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,359
'approaching the pawn shop on
foot from the high street end.'

307
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,359
If it's safe, we take him
before he enters the shop.

308
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,359
'Copy that.'

309
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,360
He's just approaching
the shop now. Move in.

310
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:19,360
Go. Take him.

311
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:25,360
Morning, Brian.

312
00:17:25,361 --> 00:17:27,359
Now, behave yourself.
What's going on?

313
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:29,879
I'm arresting you on suspicion
of handling stolen goods.

314
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,359
You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defence

315
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,359
if you fail to mention
when questioned

316
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:36,360
something which you
later rely on in court.

317
00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:43,360
Who sold you this, Brian?

318
00:17:46,360 --> 00:17:47,360
No comment.

319
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,359
Well, we know the
sale's very recent.

320
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,200
Last few days.

321
00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:56,360
'No comment.'

322
00:17:56,361 --> 00:17:59,360
'This man's done some
terrible things.'

323
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:02,359
He's not someone
you want to protect,

324
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,360
not someone you want
to be associated with.

325
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,359
But if you don't tell us, the
cameras in your shop will.

326
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,359
We're viewing that
footage right now.

327
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:15,880
There's no downside
in co-operating.

328
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,360
Who sold you the
necklace, Brian?

329
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:23,039
We need a name.

330
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,039
Otherwise we'll have
to re-focus our inquiry

331
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,400
onto the provenance of every piece
of jewellery in your shop, say.

332
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:35,359
I'd like to take a break,
so I can speak to my lawyer.

333
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:37,199
Of course.

334
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,359
'Interview paused at...' Scared,
isn't he? For a tough guy?

335
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:41,360
Hmm.

336
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,559
Got to be somewhere? Oh,
it's just a family thing.

337
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,359
Go, I'll call if
anything changes.

338
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:50,360
Thanks, Nathan.

339
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:53,360
Oh, hang on.

340
00:18:53,361 --> 00:18:56,560
'You said he'd done
some terrible things?'

341
00:18:58,360 --> 00:18:59,360
What kind of things?

342
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,359
He's a serial rapist who
targets elderly women.

343
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:06,359
The Night Stalker?

344
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:08,040
The Old Dear Hunter?

345
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,360
'Yeah.'

346
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,360
'You're barking up
the wrong tree, love.

347
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,040
'I'd have given you his name
in a fucking heartbeat.'

348
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,359
I found these two
loitering with intent.

349
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:35,359
Oh! Sorry we're late.

350
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:39,359
Oh, don't be silly. LAUGHTER

351
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,359
All right, Dad?
These wings are done.

352
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,560
Er... yeah, they are, yeah.

353
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,359
How are you, Dad?

354
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:48,360
How are YOU, is
more to the point.

355
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,360
I hear you're busy
again. Yeah. Yeah, I am.

356
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:54,360
Watch your back.

357
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:58,359
I know things have
changed since my day.

358
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:00,879
There you go, have a
beer. Oh, thank you.

359
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,360
The grass is always
greener, isn't it?

360
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:08,359
Taking over someone else's
case is always a bit messy.

361
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:10,359
I'm not taking over,
I'm just helping out.

362
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,359
Oh, yeah? Oh yeah, your
mum picked this up for you.

363
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:16,039
I did not! Oh, yes, you did.

364
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,359
LAUGHTER

365
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,359
It's an early birthday
present, isn't it?

366
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:26,400
LAUGHTER

367
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:32,039
I've finally got my
way about a cruise.

368
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,359
You haven't!

369
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,359
Christ! LAUGHTER

370
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,359
Only took me 20 years.

371
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,359
Why the change of heart,
Dave? What change of heart?

372
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:41,879
You're going, aren't you?

373
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,359
I always say being shut
up on the high seas

374
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:48,359
with a bunch of numpties
sounds like a nightmare,

375
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:52,359
only now I'll be able to
say so with authority!

376
00:20:52,360 --> 00:20:54,200
LAUGHTER

377
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:57,360
I won't be a moment.

378
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:00,560
I bet you'll enjoy it.

379
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,359
RINGING TONE

380
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,359
'Yes, guv?' Any luck
with that necklace?

381
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:11,360
'Lab just called.'

382
00:21:11,361 --> 00:21:14,399
Three sets of female DNA
on the chain and clasp,

383
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,359
not one is a match
to Sandra Nelson.

384
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:18,359
HE SIGHS

385
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:20,359
So it's probably not
her necklace, then?

386
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:22,360
I really think it's
a coincidence, guv.

387
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,359
What about Brian Royce?
'Sticking to his story.'

388
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,359
Won't tell us where
he got the necklace,

389
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,359
but insists it
wasn't Minstead Man.

390
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:32,360
All right. OK, thanks, Nathan.

391
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,359
LAUGHTER

392
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:40,360
Now, make sure you
lock the front door

393
00:21:40,361 --> 00:21:43,199
and bolt the French windows, eh?

394
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,039
If your man tries
breaking into ours,

395
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,199
it'll be the last thing he does.

396
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,879
Oh, blimey, have a
word, Mum, will you?

397
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,360
Bye, love. Bye-bye.

398
00:21:57,360 --> 00:21:59,359
Bye-bye. Take care
of yourself. Bye-bye.

399
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:01,360
Night-night.

400
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,359
Bye.

401
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:08,360
HORN BEEPS

402
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:15,359
PHONE RINGS

403
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,360
Nathan?

404
00:22:16,361 --> 00:22:19,359
'Just had local CID on the
phone. He's gone berserk.

405
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,359
'Hit three homes in
the last two hours,

406
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,359
'and we're hearing
reports of a fourth.'

407
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,359
Colbridge Road? 'Miles
away - Thornton Heath.'

408
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,359
Are you short-handed?
'That's an understatement.'

409
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:29,879
All right, I'll try
and get you a HAT team.

410
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,359
'No, I already tried.

411
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,359
'Busy with a fatal
stabbing in Lambeth.'

412
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:35,359
Where are you?
'Boss, you don't...'

413
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,360
I'll be an extra pair
of hands. Where are you?

414
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,360
Nathan.

415
00:22:55,361 --> 00:22:57,359
Boss.

416
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:02,559
The victim is an 85-year-old
male, a Mr Tomczyk, and get this -

417
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,359
he insists he was burgled by
the same man three months ago.

418
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,359
Is there a record
of that offence?

419
00:23:08,360 --> 00:23:10,359
Yeah, local CID sent it our way.

420
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:13,359
I see. We sent it back cos
it didn't have Minstead's MO?

421
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:15,359
Correct.

422
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,359
Mr Tomczyk's in the garden.
He didn't want to be inside,

423
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:20,879
and doesn't want to go to hospital.
He was very clear about that.

424
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,359
OK. Is this where
he got in? Yes, guv.

425
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:24,360
Anything?

426
00:23:24,361 --> 00:23:27,359
The tool marks look very much like
our man's favourite screwdriver.

427
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:29,360
Microscope analysis
should confirm.

428
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,359
Mr Tomczyk?

429
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,360
This is Mr Sutton,
he's in charge.

430
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,359
How do you do, Mr Tomczyk?

431
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:58,359
I'm very sorry to hear about
the ordeal you've had tonight.

432
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:00,559
Are you sure you wouldn't like
us to drive you to the hospital

433
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,359
just to make sure?

434
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:05,559
I was in war, Mr Sutton.

435
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,359
You go to hospital
when you are shot,

436
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:11,359
or when you step on a mine
and your foot is hanging off.

437
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:13,360
Fair enough.

438
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,360
I understand you think you've
been burgled by this man before?

439
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:23,359
I don't think it, I know it.

440
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:24,399
Did you recognise him?

441
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,359
His voice. His smell.

442
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:30,879
The way he sat there
watching me through his mask.

443
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,879
I said, "Oh, hello,
it's you again."

444
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,359
What did he say?

445
00:24:35,360 --> 00:24:38,359
He asked me for
money. I said no.

446
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:41,360
He said he would hurt me if
I did not give it to him.

447
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:46,039
So, I, er... I
gave him some cash.

448
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,200
I think that was a good idea.

449
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:50,720
Yes and no.

450
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:54,359
When I opened wallet,
he saw bank card.

451
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,359
And he took that as well?

452
00:24:56,360 --> 00:24:57,360
He asked me for PIN.

453
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,360
No way was I giving
him the right number...

454
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,359
..and I reckoned you would be here
before he knew I'd tricked him.

455
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:09,360
Oh. You're a very brave man.

456
00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,360
After you give him
the PIN, did he leave?

457
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:26,879
When I was in the
army, I was boxer.

458
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:33,359
They called me Kon Roboczy, which
means "workhorse" in Polish.

459
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,360
I wasn't strongest,
I wasn't fastest...

460
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,360
..but I was stubborn.

461
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:43,360
I stayed on my feet whatever...

462
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,360
..whatever they threw at me.

463
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:56,360
He didn't leave after you
gave him the PIN, did he?

464
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,359
I don't want to talk about it.

465
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,360
No. No, I understand.

466
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:14,360
When you do feel ready,

467
00:26:14,361 --> 00:26:18,399
Patricia here is a very,
very good listener.

468
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,360
In fact, she's so good,
we pay her to do it.

469
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:25,360
Thank you.

470
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:27,360
Cup of tea?

471
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:31,360
Have you got a map?

472
00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:34,359
Yeah, in the car.

473
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:38,359
Mr Tomczyk gave him the wrong
PIN for his credit card.

474
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:40,359
CHUCKLES Good on him.

475
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:43,199
Yeah. Well, he must know
that we'll stop the card,

476
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,039
so he couldn't use it ASAP.

477
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,359
I'm assuming he has a
favourite bank machine?

478
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:48,360
Yeah, a couple.

479
00:26:48,361 --> 00:26:50,039
Well, what's the nearest one?

480
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,360
Erm...

481
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:56,359
There.

482
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:58,399
Yeah, it's close. Who've
we got up and about?

483
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,359
Kenny and Cath attended
the first and second.

484
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:04,359
Adam and Neville
went to the third.

485
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:06,359
Right. Well, they're
closer than us, then.

486
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,359
Tell them I want them all
watching that cash machine,

487
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,360
and they don't leave
until I say so. Right.

488
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:39,559
How far? Two minutes.

489
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,200
We can take a
shortcut. Left here.

490
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:03,200
Fuck's sake, Kenny!

491
00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:15,360
Downshire Gardens.

492
00:28:15,361 --> 00:28:18,360
It's a cross street. Right
at the end, and you're there.

493
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,399
We should have a view of
the cash machine... there.

494
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,360
HORN BLARING

495
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,559
Well, there's our Ken.

496
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,360
Oh, bollocks! Nice one.

497
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,359
How Special Branch didn't
snap him up, I'll never know.

498
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,880
LAUGHTER

499
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,360
Come on, you bastard.
Come and get it.

500
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,359
Yeah, I'll let him
know. He's just arrived.

501
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,560
Yeah. OK, cheers.

502
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,879
I thought we were
watching and waiting?

503
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,039
Too late, boss. We
missed him. What?

504
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,359
Financial boys just called.

505
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,359
He tried to get cash out of
there right before we got here.

506
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,359
We must've missed him
by seconds. Oh, fuck!

507
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,359
Did the machine
swallow his card? No.

508
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,359
Well, he might've
discarded it nearby, then.

509
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:58,360
Close but no cigar, eh?

510
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,359
I'm kidding. Good punt, sir.

511
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,359
Trip down memory lane,
coming back here.

512
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:05,360
Why, did you attend before?

513
00:30:05,361 --> 00:30:07,359
And the two times before that.

514
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,359
Yeah, he seemed to like
that machine so much,

515
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,359
we went proactive. Oh, yeah?

516
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,359
We arranged for hidden cameras
to be installed near the ATM

517
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,360
just in case he returned.

518
00:30:15,361 --> 00:30:16,719
It was the guv'nor's
idea, as I recall.

519
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,359
And you didn't think
to mention that before?

520
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,359
Well, I'm mentioning
it now, aren't I?

521
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,039
Are they still there?
Are they working?

522
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,879
TSU are en route to
retrieve the footage.

523
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,359
We're gonna get a look at
Minstead Man, a proper look.

524
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,359
If you'd got here
five minutes sooner,

525
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,360
he'd be in fucking handcuffs!

526
00:30:31,361 --> 00:30:34,359
I'm not sure that's
fair, boss. No, it's not.

527
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,359
All right, look, we've had
the nearest of near misses.

528
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,359
It's infuriating and it
hurts, but we move on.

529
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,520
Let's see what the TSU bring.

530
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,359
They're in the phone box. Eh?

531
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,360
The cameras.

532
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,359
At 12:36am, he walks
briskly from Lessing Street,

533
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,359
makes a couple of
"lifesaver" glances behind,

534
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,720
as he approaches the ATM.

535
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,359
Erm... this is from
the second camera.

536
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,359
Looks like he's wearing
some kind of blue cagoule.

537
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,360
Yeah, he wears it well.

538
00:31:10,361 --> 00:31:13,359
Zipped up to his nose, and
hood pulled over his face.

539
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,359
Is that the best shot
we've got of him?

540
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,360
Yeah. He's nothing
if not cautious.

541
00:31:16,361 --> 00:31:19,879
Well, maybe there's other things
we can glean beyond his appearance.

542
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,359
Like what? I don't know, Adam,

543
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,719
but there's two cameras there.
There's got to be something.

544
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,359
What about his exit route?

545
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,200
Yeah, let's have a
look at that, Cathy.

546
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,359
Whoa, hang on a
minute. That's us!

547
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,359
Neville, that's...
fucking us, mate.

548
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,359
If we'd have gotten there
30 seconds earlier...

549
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,359
That's spilt milk, Adam. Cathy?

550
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,879
When he gives up on the ATM,

551
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:49,879
he doesn't go in the
direction he came.

552
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,359
He heads west.

553
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,359
Right, what road's that?

554
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,559
It's Ballina Street.

555
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,559
Right. So, applying a
bit of street tradecraft,

556
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,359
what do we think?
He's arriving by car?

557
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,039
Well, there's no way he got
there that fast any other way.

558
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,359
And not at that time of
night. So, where's he parked?

559
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,359
Well, based on his approach,

560
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,359
I'd say near the top
end of Lessing Street.

561
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,359
Maybe Flintock Street.

562
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,359
Agreed, but then he goes off
in a different direction.

563
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,360
So, how's he getting
back to his car?

564
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,359
What about here?

565
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,879
There's a little cut-through
further down Ballina Street.

566
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,359
Crosses back under
the railway bridge

567
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,359
and comes out on Flintock
Street. Loop the loop.

568
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,199
Back in his car in
two minutes, guv.

569
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,359
Entrance is about 200
yards west of the ATM.

570
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,359
We did look at putting
a camera on it.

571
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,359
Yeah. That's the
cut-through there.

572
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,359
Looks like the bushes
extend all the way down.

573
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,359
If you were looking to
ditch a hot bank card,

574
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,359
it beats a bin or a
drain cover, doesn't it?

575
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,359
Kenny, I want a POLSA team
down there this afternoon, OK?

576
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,360
Yes, boss. All right, good
work everyone. Well done.

577
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,359
Can I have a word,
boss? Yeah, sure.

578
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,359
I mean before we
get in a POLSA team.

579
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,360
Hang on one, Kenny.

580
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,040
Mr Morgan called for
an update earlier.

581
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,359
Right. Do you know why
he called you and not me?

582
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,359
I think he said
your phone was busy.

583
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,039
Go on.

584
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,359
Well, I told him about him
using his favourite ATM again.

585
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,359
OK?

586
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,800
He doesn't want us
making a big fuss.

587
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,359
Says it might put
him off returning,

588
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,359
and those cameras
weren't cheap to install.

589
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,520
And how's he defining a fuss?

590
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,359
He specifically said not
to get in a POLSA team.

591
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,360
With respect,
that's not his call.

592
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,359
Right, well...

593
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,360
Can you ring him and
tell him that, please?

594
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,359
That's not a conversation
I want to have, not now.

595
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,359
Then you're putting me
in a difficult position.

596
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,359
That's not my intention.

597
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,359
Right, so call him. Look,
I know, he's your boss.

598
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,359
It's not about that.
Well, what is it about?

599
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,359
Loyalty. I'm his number
two, he trusts me.

600
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,359
I'm not about to betray that trust
for someone I've known five minutes.

601
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,879
No offence.

602
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,360
None taken. You've welcomed me
like no-one else on this team.

603
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,359
Right, well, now you
can return the favour.

604
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,559
No, sorry. I'm the
acting SIO on this,

605
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,359
and my decision is that we
search that cut-through.

606
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,559
If there's any problem, I'll be sure
he knows you gave me the message,

607
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,360
and I ignored it. It's on me.

608
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,360
OK.

609
00:34:18,361 --> 00:34:20,359
Be worth it for the
chance of some evidence,

610
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,360
cos, Christ, we need something.

611
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,360
Go on, then, Kenny. Call 'em up.

612
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,360
TRAIN HORN BLARES

613
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,360
POLICE CHATTER

614
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,880
He's here.

615
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,360
Found a bank card.

616
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,039
Looks weather-damaged.

617
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,359
I'd be surprised if it was
stashed there last night.

618
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,359
It's a different name as
well. Mrs A Waynflete.

619
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,359
Anne Waynflete? Yeah.

620
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,359
She a Minstead victim?

621
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,559
Yeah, two years ago.

622
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,359
And did he use this card
in that ATM two years ago?

623
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,359
Well, looks like.

624
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,199
Thanks, Tabs, good
work. Thank you.

625
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,359
Well, if they'd have searched
this place two years ago,

626
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,879
they might've got prints
and DNA. Still might.

627
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,039
Not after two years' weather
damage. Not a chance.

628
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,359
In fairness, she didn't
report a card being stolen.

629
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,359
I took her statement, guv.

630
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,720
If you've got any other
questions, I'll be happy to help.

631
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,360
Yes, thank you.

632
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,880
If you want somewhere
bigger, just say.

633
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,360
Nah. Feels like home now.

634
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,360
What's on your mind?

635
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,359
Errol Dobson.

636
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,359
Can you get the team
together, please?

637
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,360
Yeah, sure. Thanks, Nathan.

638
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,359
Errol Dobson was a prolific
burglar of the elderly

639
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,360
in the early nineties.

640
00:36:24,361 --> 00:36:27,359
He was even more prolific
than Minstead Man.

641
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,359
He also favoured the night,
and he'd been at it for years.

642
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,399
His patch was only small,

643
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,359
just a dozen or so
streets in Tottenham.

644
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,359
That just made it
all the more galling

645
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,359
when we couldn't catch him.

646
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,359
Some of the team
lost faith, you know.

647
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,359
They said, "How can one man be
responsible for so many offences?"

648
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,359
We were chasing a
phantom or a ghost.

649
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,359
And everything we tried,
everything failed,

650
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,360
until my boss went proactive.

651
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,359
What did that involve?

652
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,359
Cobbling together 30 bodies
and saturating those streets.

653
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,359
We knew how sharp he was, so
we had to stay well hidden.

654
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,559
There was no hunkering
down in the passenger seat.

655
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,359
D'you get him? Night
five. Caught in the act.

656
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,359
And that is how we'll
catch Minstead Man.

657
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:13,400
Are you serious?

658
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,359
If you've got a better
idea, Kenny, I'm all ears.

659
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,359
But we're not looking at a
corner of Tottenham, guv.

660
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,359
Looking at most of South London
from the Thames to the M23.

661
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,359
He's right. And we tried
going proactive before.

662
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,359
Yes, I know you have,

663
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,359
and Simon agrees it's
worth another shot.

664
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,359
By his own admission, that
effort was hampered by resources.

665
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,359
And this time it won't be?

666
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,359
We just need a bigger
boat. Ocean liner.

667
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,359
Fucking aircraft carrier.

668
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,359
Yeah, I'm not feeling
this, er, boat analogy.

669
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,359
It's from Jaws.
Yeah, thanks, Cathy.

670
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,359
No, what I mean is that
boat doesn't exist.

671
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,719
It'd take hundreds of officers.

672
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:51,359
You'd get to keep 'em
for two nights max.

673
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,560
This is a bloke who stopped
dead for three years.

674
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,359
You finished?

675
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,359
I'm just saying.

676
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,359
No, they're good
points, well made.

677
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,719
But we have to try something
new, Adam. We have to.

678
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:07,359
Now, analysis can shave down
the target area, right, Richard?

679
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,359
To a degree. How?

680
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,359
Well, he never goes for flats,
local authority, social housing.

681
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,359
It's always private dwellings
- houses, bungalows.

682
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,359
What, that's it?

683
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,879
And there's the crimes themselves.
The way they're clustered.

684
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,359
Oh, come on. He's
offended all over!

685
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,359
Yeah, he has. But going back '92,
there's a density of offending

686
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,879
in the Shirley area

687
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,879
that makes it what we
call an anchor point.

688
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,359
His hunting ground of choice.

689
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:35,359
Yeah, and that's the patch
where we're most likely

690
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:36,360
to catch him in the act.

691
00:38:36,361 --> 00:38:38,359
From there we build out a map

692
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,359
of other target
areas around Shirley.

693
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,360
Might be a square mile,
might be a single street.

694
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,359
This map - what are we
supposed to do with it?

695
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,359
We refine it, we cost it,

696
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,359
and then we flog it to
the Force Tasking Group.

697
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,359
No-one else can fund an
operation of this scale.

698
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,360
And then we go out and nick him.

699
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,359
Sorry, guv, I was
with Mr Tomczyk.

700
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,360
How's he doing?

701
00:39:01,361 --> 00:39:03,359
Oh, OK under the circumstances.

702
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,360
He told me what happened,
so that's a start.

703
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,719
And?

704
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:11,359
The offender fondled
his genitals,

705
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,359
and after threats of violence,
forced him to touch his own.

706
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,559
Oh, God.

707
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,359
My sense is that was the
extent of the sexual contact.

708
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,359
I'll be able to say that
with more confidence

709
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,359
after another session.

710
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,360
Poor man. Yeah.

711
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,360
And you.

712
00:39:27,361 --> 00:39:29,360
How long have you
been on Minstead?

713
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Five years.

714
00:39:32,361 --> 00:39:34,359
It's a lot of victims.

715
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,359
It's gonna take its toll.

716
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,559
I'm like anyone, boss.
There's good days and bad.

717
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,359
Yeah, but you're at the
sharp end, aren't you?

718
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,359
Oh, at first it was just
finding the... vocabulary

719
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,359
to coax the
information we needed.

720
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,359
Finding other ways to
say "What happened?,

721
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,359
"What did he do to you?"

722
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,359
I used to pause the interviews

723
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,359
so they wouldn't
see how upset I was.

724
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,359
Then I was dealing
with their children,

725
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,879
and oh, God, that was
a whole other thing.

726
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,360
In what way?

727
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,359
First, there's just
breaking it to them.

728
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,359
Telling a son or daughter that
their mum's been sexually assaulted.

729
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,359
Then you see the
dynamics change.

730
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,359
The kids become the parents,

731
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:18,559
and these... wonderful,
totally autonomous adults

732
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,359
become dependent,
become the kids.

733
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,559
Hard not to get
emotionally involved.

734
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,359
Hmm. Lately I've been going
from funeral to funeral

735
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,359
with this terrible sadness,
and I won't lie - fury,

736
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,360
that they won't
see justice done.

737
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,360
When it's all over, it will
hit me, I know it will.

738
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,400
I'm almost looking
forward to it.

739
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,360
Richard?

740
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:49,359
Thanks for backing
me up in there.

741
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,039
Hope I didn't come across
as a total chancer.

742
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,359
Well, we are taking
a chance, aren't we?

743
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,719
Yeah. Yeah, a big one.

744
00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:57,359
I want you to book
me a meeting room

745
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,399
at Scotland Yard next
Monday. No problem.

746
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,359
And I want your help with an
email. Concise as possible,

747
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,879
but that conveys the rate
and gravity of the offences,

748
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,359
and the need to
take urgent action.

749
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,359
Yeah, sure. It'll
come from the heart.

750
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,719
Who's it for?

751
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:12,559
Heads of all the squads
that can give us a chance

752
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,719
with the Force Tasking Group.

753
00:41:14,720 --> 00:41:18,359
Oh, you'll need it. FTG reject
92% of funding requests.

754
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,360
Better make that
email count, then, eh?

755
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,360
DISTANT SIRENS

756
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,360
You definitely said Monday?

757
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,360
Only just coming up to ten.

758
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:42,359
PHONE RINGS

759
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,359
Reminds me of my
eighth birthday party.

760
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,719
PHONE RINGS

761
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,359
Neville?

762
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,359
'He was out last night.
Lady of 70 in Coulsdon.

763
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,359
'He started assaulting her,
and she begged him to stop.

764
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,359
'She says he did. Whether
or not that's true, TBC.'

765
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,360
Is Patricia with her?

766
00:41:58,361 --> 00:42:01,359
'Yeah, as we speak.' All
right. Thanks, Neville.

767
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,359
Keep me posted.

768
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,720
Boss.

769
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:07,360
Colin?

770
00:42:07,361 --> 00:42:11,359
Superintendent Jackie Miller and
DCI Greg Burns, Covert Policing.

771
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,359
Good to meet you. Thanks
so much for coming.

772
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,359
Well, it was a compelling email.

773
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,359
Oh. Oh, good. Come on
in. Come on in. This way.

774
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,359
Get dry. Morning. Cup of
tea? Cup of coffee? Morning.

775
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,359
I've never made a request
to the Force Tasking Group,

776
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,359
but I understand that many of
you here are regular bidders,

777
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,039
and I hear that one of you
even saw some money once.

778
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,199
Yeah, that was me.

779
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,359
Fucking cheque
bounced. LAUGHTER

780
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,359
So, we're here to
listen and to learn.

781
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,359
I'm a big believer in
laying out the plan

782
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,359
in frankly idiot-proof language.
I'd say something like,

783
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,359
"By observing every inch
of the targeted streets,

784
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,359
"you're seeking
to control them."

785
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,039
No-one will be able to walk in
or out without you seeing them.

786
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,399
If Minstead Man steps on your plot,
you will get him, no ifs no buts.

787
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,199
That means no officers
walking around the plot.

788
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,359
Everyone needs to be
inside a building.

789
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,879
I'd also suggest having
surveillance teams on standby

790
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,359
just outside the plot.

791
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,879
If a suspect needs
to be questioned,

792
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,039
they can be tailed and pulled over
well away from the target area.

793
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,359
Yeah, that's crucial. You
don't want word getting out

794
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,360
that there's surveillance
going on in Shirley.

795
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,359
We'd be very happy
to supply air support

796
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:42,399
for whatever mission
you end up running.

797
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,359
We can watch from an altitude

798
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,560
and be completely
undetectable from the ground.

799
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,359
Kevin and I run Central Control.

800
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,359
We can have access
to 24/7 live feeds

801
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,360
from thousands of Local Authority
and Transport For London cameras.

802
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:08,360
Looking at your proposed plot,

803
00:44:08,361 --> 00:44:11,720
you'd need at least 150 bodies
to throw a net over that.

804
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,720
Right. Which you'll never get.

805
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,360
There is a smaller
area I've devised...

806
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,359
..here in and around Shirley.

807
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:29,360
Still big, but more achievable.

808
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,359
75 officers should be
able to deliver that.

809
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,359
And what are our
chances of getting that?

810
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,359
If you ask for 150 officers,
they'll probably give you 50.

811
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,359
But if you ask for 75,
and you make a good case,

812
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,199
you might get 75.

813
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:54,399
If we shrink the plot,

814
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,399
the odds of him offending
obviously shrink, too.

815
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,359
By how much? Well,
based on past offences,

816
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,360
they drop from one in
three to one in six.

817
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,360
One in six.

818
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,359
You know what?

819
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,359
They're still good
odds. I'll take that.

820
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,199
So, when do you
pitch to the FTG?

821
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,359
Well, now I know what to ask
for, as soon as possible.

822
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,359
Listen - thank you.

823
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,359
Thank you all for your
support and your expertise.

824
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,359
I just want to say
how much it means

825
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,199
that so many of you responded
and clearly care about this case

826
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,360
and its many, many victims.
