Back! Get back!

Come on, let�s have a look at you!

Beckham, Owen,

Giggs, Ronaldo.

So, who are you?

- Beckham. - Owen.

- Giggs. - Ronaldo.

Right, come on, boys! Let�s have you.

I want it dug out.

- Understand? - Yes.

And I want it taken down a foot, yeah?

I don�t want any...

Any injury to joints, muscles, back or spine?

No.

- Glandular fever? - No

- Any asthma or persistent cough? - No

- Been screened for breast cancer? - Yeah.

- In the past five years, any cold sores? - No.

In the past year any significant weight change?

No.

- Children? - No.

- Married or single? - Single.

Pregnant?

Are you taking HRT?

Yes.

How often do you exercise?

Not enough.

Have you been under increasing amounts of stress recently?

No.

Units of alcohol consumed in a week?

Mm... four to five.

- And do you smoke? - No.

Inspector Finch.

Inspector was last week. Chief Inspector now.

And who knows what it�ll be next week? Give us a hand.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick in the box.

Tick, tick, tick.

- Tick, tick... Morning, guv�nor. - Guv.

- Who�s been inside? - The three men who discovered the body

and two officers who verified the call.

Mr Anthony Vane in the van there, he discovered the body, 7:20 this morning,

along with two of his employees.

Where are they? Have you got names?

They�re a Mr Giggs and a...

Mr Ronaldo. Went with Mr Vane into the basement.

A Mr Beckham and a Mr Owen were upstairs.

On discovery of the body, the four employees legged it.

Mr Vane thinks they might be East European.

Although, given the difficulty he has with foreign names...

I don�t think we can rely on that.

Get Mr Vane�s shoes bagged up before he walks off with any evidence.

That�s all in hand, sir.

Good. I�ll have a talk later.

Cigarette burns.

And I think she left home in a hurry.

- What do you mean? - No knickers.

I do like a jock, you know.

It just doesn�t extend to degrading murder victims.

My case, my humour. All right?

Sir.

OK, we�ll spend the money and have her looked at here.

- Who�s on call? - Er, The Plumber, sir.

I phoned for an ETA. They�re saying... eight to ten hours.

You�ve completed your 30 year�s service.

How did the medical go?

Fine.

So, you are now...

I�m sorry, just remind us, your age?

- I�m 54. - And you�ve had

seven years as Detective Superintendent.

- An outstanding achievement, Jane. - Thank you.

That�s a long time to be in a very stressful job.

It must have taken its toll.

Well, I�ve memorised the name of the current Prime Minister, if that�s of any help.

Jane, if we could just run through some of the options.

There�s no financial penalty attached to taking retirement now.

If you stay on, there are a number of new challenges...

I don�t feel my age compromises my ability.

I think my experience is an asset.

I have three murder teams under my command, 80 officers, working 24 murder cases.

I can give a breakdown on each and every case, if you so wish.

Superintendent, this review isn�t intended to be confrontational.

It�s entirely for your benefit.

We simply want you to feel you�re in the best possible position...

- ...within the Metropolitan Police. - Oh!

Good. I�m glad we�re all agreed, then.

There�s five urgent on your desk, Jane,

and the first assessment from DCI Finch at the St John�s Wood incident.

Thank you.

So they�d worked for you before. Faces you knew. East European?

- Serbian? Albanian? - I keep saying it.

I don�t know them, I don�t mix with them, they just work for me.

They�re all casuals. I can�t check if they�re legal.

Mr Vane, this is a murder investigation.

Illegal immigrants and employment regulations are not top of my list.

- Sir! - Yeah.

Hey, when can I get my site back?

As soon as we run out of money. It shouldn�t take too long.

- Two or three days. Maybe longer. - You were right, boss.

- A year ago, almost to the day. - What about my van?

It might be a link, sir. Punishment killing.

Albanian prostitute dumped in a derelict church 200 yards down the road.

A Lenusya... Vald...

- Lenusya Valdanosi. - Yes, sir.

Chalked up to the Albanians. Still open. No-one was sheeted for it.

Lorna, you should think very carefully

about whether the murder squad is the right place for you.

Is there a specific complaint against me?

No, no, no. It�s just that...

Well, I need officers who can put the hours in.

- I work all the hours. - I need more than just the rule book.

I�m sorry, but this is discrimination.

As the mother of two small children...

...I might occasionally be at a disadvantage,

compared to a single, male officer.

But I think it�s totally unfair for me to be penalised because of it.

I assure you it is not discrimination.

The job requires a level of commitment that doesn�t suit every officer.

- There�s no shame in that. - I am totally committed.

I have an excellent attendance record.

And I would see any attempt to force me out of the squad as discrimination.

Right, well, you know...

Perhaps it�s something we�ll keep under review.

Thanks. Thanks, Lorna. Thank you for your time.

Thank you.

About time.

What have we got from the door knockers?

Nothing yet, guv.

Tell the co-ordinator to extend the radius, keep checking for CCTV.

The Plumber�s here, guv.

Let�s use her correct name, shall we?

So, first thoughts?

Well, she�s definitely dead.

I was recently called to someone who wasn�t.

And if you push me, I�ll be able to say

it probably wasn�t natural causes.

- Was she killed here? - No.

Any idea of nationality?

No!

A lot of burn marks.

You noticed them. That�s very good.

Asphyxia due to manual strangulation.

Look out. Dead man walking.

Sorry. Dead person.

God, it really was kick the dog.

- She can be brutally honest. - She�s always had it in for me.

- Always. - I can�t see why.

You�re young, married, got a cute househusband,

your whole career stretched out before you.

I heard she had her MOT this morning. Perhaps she failed.

What�s the etiquette on retirement presents these days? Does one ask?

She�s not a set of golf clubs, is she?

Jane Tennison can be difficult,

but she�d never demand from us what she wouldn�t ask of herself.

We can get a good enough photo of the victim�s face.

We�ll push it out tomorrow if she�s not claimed.

Tick, tick, tick.

Tick, tick, tick, tick in the box.

The body was discovered in a building being renovated into luxury apartments.

An interested buyer was the Shadow Home Secretary, George Giblin.

I won�t comment on this particular crime,

but if there is a link to the Balkan mafia,

it really does underline what I said in the House yesterday...

about illegal immigrants.

We are being swamped, and I will make no apologies for using that word,

swamped by foreign criminals.

The police are woefully underrresourced and...

The cartilages of the larynx are fractured.

So is the hyoid bone.

The assailant used extreme force.

There�s bruising to the muscles of the neck...

the tongue, the floor of the mouth.

You�re not going to faint on us, are you?

I knew it!

I should have sold tickets.

Oh, I didn�t know you had an interest.

Royalty, is she?

Her hands and feet were tied with wire.

Cigarette burns are evident along the back and thighs.

But the face was untouched.

- What nationality do you think she is? - Possibly East European.

But I assumed Spanish the other day, and they turned out to be Irish.

She suffered fractures in the past, which weren�t properly healed.

Any connection?

I give you a theory, you turn it into fact, and then come back and haunt me with it.

We won�t hold you to anything.

It�s not just the fractures.

There�s evidence of deep tissue burns.

She was burnt with cigarettes before.

And the old scars are in the same pattern as the present burns.

So, she was tortured before?

Yes, I think she was. Many years ago.

Well, she... she would have been quite young.

Yes.

She was beautiful.

Yes, she was.

Very beautiful indeed.

- Are you all right? - Yeah, just thinking it through.

Same pattern of torture, ten years ago.

- Simon, do you mind if we have a word? - No, no.

Look, I�m very... I�m very concerned about this media coverage.

We got every front page. It can only help us find out who she is.

"Prostitute dead in Giblin�s penthouse."

She was in the basement. Giblin hadn�t even put down a deposit.

They say she�s an Albanian.

- Where do they get this stuff? - Not from me.

It�s a possibility we�re following up, but it�s not what I told them.

Simon, it�s no reflection on you,

but I�m taking over this investigation.

Why?

Because of this media hysteria,

and how this is being linked to asylum seekers and immigration.

I just think it needs a more experienced guiding hand.

This is well within my rank. And certainly within my capabilities.

I said it�s no reflection on you.

Considering the amount of work you�ve done, I�ll keep you on as my No.2.

All right, well, I�ll tell the squad, and I�ll see you back at the office.

Lots of deep breaths and keep drinking.

Simon! Simon!

Come on!

Go on!

Yes!

Well played, sir.

Good shot.

OK, come on!

- Good night, then. - Good night, Michael. David.

Well played.

Larry, did you have Jane Tennison replace me?

No.

But we did discuss it.

You�re what? Five days in, no leads, no ID.

An immigrant community that isn�t talking,

surrounded by politicians that can�t stop.

I think Jane�s probably realising her mistake round about now, don�t you?

This is all about delivery.

And that�s not what you�re going to get out of this.

This has got all the ingredients of a long, hard slog

and absolutely nothing to show at the end of it.

And then, believe me, the spotlight isn�t so welcome

when everyone remembers it�s got your name all over it.

If you�re worried about how you look in front of the team, don�t.

Remember, they don�t shape your career.

I don�t know if you know this, but I used to work for Jane Tennison.

Now she works for me.

- Night, Simon. - Night, sir.

That�s it, boys.

We�ve got a name. Looks solid, guv. From the hotel cleaner.

- Tell DS Tennison. - She�s already mobile.

Asked for you to run a check.

Had my wedding anniversary here. Very nice. Very expensive.

No.1 or No.2 wife?

Oh, this is very No.1.

We�re looking for a cleaner. Stephen Abacha. Do you know him?

No. No, I wouldn�t. And I haven�t warned them you were coming.

- Well, he telephoned us. - Oh.

We�ve already been down here.

- Have we? - Yeah.

Where are they all?

Oh!

Stephen Abacha?

Stephen Abacha!

- Men�s urinals. - Of course.

Urinals.

Of course.

That�s her. Samira Blekic.

What nationality is she?

Bosnian. Bosnian Muslim.

Oh. Had she worked here long?

Yes.

Most do not stick at it more than a few months.

She was too bright and too intelligent for this.

But she said that she felt safe here, underground.

She couldn�t have got into trouble. She worked 12-hour shifts, six days a week.

Did she have any relatives here?

A sister, Jasmina. That�s the reason why I did not call you any earlier.

Jasmina came looking for her on Sunday.

Samira did not return home from work on Saturday.

When I saw the photo in a newspaper, I thought Jasmina would go to the police.

It�s only when I saw the story again I realised you still did not know who she was.

When Jasmina came here looking for her, how was she?

Anxious, you know? They were close.

Jasmina was ten years older than her. More like a mother figure.

- She�s a cleaner. In a hospital. - Hospital? Which hospital?

I don�t know.

Erm... Well, do you have an address or a phone number for Samira?

Ask the super.

But it will be false.

There�s no way you�ll find a ghost giving out a real address.

A ghost?

We do not exist.

What�s your story, Stephen? How come you�re cleaning the men�s urinals?

It�s a punishment.

I upset the super.

I�m a student. Economics. Close to finishing.

And then I�ll try my luck back home.

And you and Samira worked the same shift?

From midday to midnight.

How did she act that day? Different from how she normally was?

She was difficult to read.

I think she was permanently troubled.

I left her here. I went west, that way.

She went south, down there.

- Mm-hm. What time? - About 30 minutes after work.

So, half past twelve.

She had about an hour�s walk in front of her.

Would she have told you if she was meeting anyone?

No. No.

- So, did she always walk? - We cannot afford the ride.

Were there people sleeping rough that night?

Yes. They�re always here.

Well, he�s the last person to have seen her alive that we know of. Check him out.

Yeah.

Let�s get down amongst the dossers, too.

Then I want to concentrate on us finding that sister.

Strange she hasn�t come forward.

Even though she�s an illegal.

Could be looking for another body, huh?

Don�t.

Jules, I�ve got a Jasmina Blekic.

K- I-C.

Yeah. Linked to a Kasim Ibrahimivic.

It lists her as his partner.

She�s the one I�m interested in.

There�s nothing marked against her, but Kasim is linked to

a set of undesirables I�m told you�re looking into.

Cigarette salesmen?

Hi.

How are you?

Fine.

It�s good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

I saw the picture in The Times.

It was really great.

Thanks.

How long have you been back?

Er... a while.

It�s been hectic.

Mm.

- Do you fancy a drink? - Yes, I do.

Putting together a calendar?

Well, it would sell better than the book.

She was Croatian. A sniper. And a good one.

Fanatical about killing Serbs.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Oh, I saw your headlines about the Bosnian girl.

Yeah.

Yeah, that�s why I�m here, actually. Erm...

I want your help.

You...

Hello?

Yeah. Look, I�m with someone.

Yeah, sure. I�ll call you back.

So, how can I help?

The girl, the victim,

she came over here about ten years ago, when she was about 12.

She�s a Muslim.

She was tortured over there.

Who? What do you think? Any ideas?

Well, she could have run into a Serbian paramilitary unit.

Although most of the units I covered,

they moved on too quickly to inflict sustained torture.

It was normally rape and murder.

So, it was a Serb?

- No, it could have been Croatian. - She was tortured over here, as well.

In the same way. So it could have been the same person.

Well, if he is paramilitary, there�s one thing to remember.

He�s been somewhere you and I could never go.

Well, it was a war in which the most unlikely characters...

they were just given the power and freedom to do as they pleased.

Sorry.

Hello?

Oh, Joanna. Yeah, I have it in front of me.

Yeah.

Yeah, what are we talking about?

I�m off. Thanks.

No, no. You�re busy. Really.

I�ll call you. Thanks very much. Thanks.

Thanks, anyway. Bye.

We are dealing with ghosts.

Except when it comes to hand-out time.

Then witness the sudden miracle of flesh, blood,

and a spontaneous command of the English language.

Please help me. I wanted to get some money.

Stephen Abacha checks out.

- But Samira Blekick�s... - Blekic.

...Blekic�s phone and address are both false.

Her sister doesn�t exist, either.

All the hospitals, all their cleaning contractors in London have been contacted.

And none of them list a... Jasmina Blekic.

Anything from the dossers?

We�re still asking.

Anyone seen Simon Finch?

No.

Guv! I�ve got something on CCTV, guv!

- That one? - Yeah.

There we go.

Right, it might be nothing, but...

the security fence around the site had a logo on it. OCB.

That OCB van passed a camera around 300 yards away from the site

at 3am Sunday morning.

Good. Good. Mickey, you check up on that.

Keep looking, Lorna.

Have fun.

How long have you held back this information?

I haven�t held it back. I just wanted to make sure...

the information was relevant and correct.

Now that I am sure of that, I�m showing it to you.

I think Samira Blekic�s murder is linked to the Balkan mafia.

Not prostitution or cigarette trafficking.

This is a Customs and Excise surveillance. Kasim lbrahimivic.

He�s the sister�s boyfriend.

He�s a long way down the food chain, but he�s smart.

Customs think he may have decided to set up his own import business.

Something which his bosses would violently discourage.

I think Samira was killed to teach Kasim a lesson.

She could have been mistaken for Jasmina.

They might also have killed her. Kasim, too.

He hasn�t been seen since Samira was found.

These are criminals, straight out of a war zone,

running a multimillion dollar a year business.

So, what were you hoping to do? Come back with it all wrapped up?

My rank does permit a certain amount of initiative.

And latitude.

A simple phone call.

All right.

You know, it would be a huge miscalculation

to try and undermine my authority.

I don�t see any need for you to feel insecure.

My intention was to progress the investigation.

And I think the key is locating Kasim lbrahimivic.

Yeah, same registration. That�s our van.

The driver?

Duscan.

Duscan Zigic. He�s a nice man.

He�s one of the best we�ve got.

He�s been with us... five years.

Very reliable.

Zigic. Where�s he from?

Erm... Yugoslavia. Bosnia.

Was he working in the St John�s Wood area that Saturday night, Sunday morning?

No.

Nowhere near it.

Any reason for him to be driving through there?

Not on company business, no.

Have you er... have you got a photo of him on file?

Er, yeah.

Where could we find him now?

Guv.

Wire.

And wire cutters.

Check out his van.

Hello!

Hello?

- Dusan Zigick? - No.

Duscan Zigic.

Detective Superintendent Jane Tennison.

I�d like to have a few words with you, please.

Turn around.

Inside.

- Why am I here? I don�t understand. - This is Duscan Zigic.

Under arrest for the suspici�n of the murder of Samira Blekic.

- Has he been searched? - Yes.

Turn out your pockets and put your property on the desk, please. And remove the belt.

Do you want a solicitor? You can have one you know or we can get one for you.

A lawyer, yes. And I want interpreter.

Hah! Don�t we all?

The woman from the Community Centre.

She said to call if we had trouble.

He�s no trouble. You�re not sending him back.

Tell me, did he have any friends, or callers?

No, no. None that I�ve seen.

He did mention something about a Serbian centre.

Nothing gets past me.

He maybe rolled in drunk

twice in five years.

He worked 14 hours a day, he comes back to sleep.

If they were all like him, there would be no problem at all.

We�re not Immigration.

We�re not interested whether he should be here or not. OK?

Thanks for your help.

- Thanks very much. - OK.

We�ll see you downstairs, then.

Thanks.

Right.

They�ve run a check on the premises he was guarding that night.

No CCTV. No time clocks.

He can�t prove he was there.

He�s neat. Clean.

Lonely.

Homesick.

- What? - No porn.

No magazines, no videos.

Ne secets

Perhaps he�s done a tidy-up.

- Worried we might pay him a visit. - No, this wasn�t the killing scene.

But Forensics will check it out.

And then we have to check every building site he had access to as a security guard.

God! What a nightmare!

Rosemary Henderson to represent Duscan Zigic.

This is Mr Milan Lukic, who will act as interpreter.

Right.

- Mr? - Lukic.

I�m an approved police interpreter.

Have you got the card, sir?

Thank you very much. That�ll do nicely.

Miss Henderson. Thank you. Thank you.

- I don�t know what they want. - Don�t worry. I will look after you.

- Thank you. - Right.

This is Mr Lukic. He will be your interpreter.

Any words or phrases you don�t understand, you ask him.

Dobar dan, kado ste.

Mogao bi biti bolje. Pa, evo nas opet.

He was shitting himself. He was terrified.

Yeah, well, where he comes from,

a visit to the police station is a very different experience.

Guess the wrong answer,

you get a good hiding.

You get seven cans of shite knocked out of you.

That�s if you...

Ma�am.

Right.

Here we go.

Can you tell me what you were doing on the morning of Sunday the 21 st,

between midnight and 6am?

I was at work.

Where were you working?

A warehouse in Cricklewood. My boss will tell you.

Did you drive your van along Wellington Road at about three o�clock that morning?

I don�t know Wellington Road.

It runs through an area called St John�s Wood.

It�s three or four miles from where you say you were working.

Oh, yes. I make mistake.

I�m not supposed to leave work,

but drive to petrol station.

Not for petrol

To buy lottery ticket.

Reci joj da nedjeljom u jutro ako nisam nista dobio na lotu uvijek

odem do svoje "sretne" pumpe da kupim novu loto igru.

Mr Zigic has a habit.

Every Sunday morning, he goes to his lucky petrol station to buy a lottery ticket.

I buy a ticket there once.

And I won. �100.

So I go back.

Get the name and the location of the petrol station.

They�ll have CCTV and we�ll check it out.

Oh, and then ask him about the wire in his tool box.

I use wire to tie up doors.

It�s wrong for me to have it.

- What doors do you have to... - Forensic have looked at his van.

- It�s been scrubbed out, carefully. - Tidy. Just like his flat.

You�ve scrubbed it out. Very thoroughly. Why?

I�ve just explained the meaning of the word "thoroughly" to Mr Zigic.

One of the dog had taken a shit in the back. So I cleaned it out.

Yeah, but the whole van had been scrubbed out. The whole van.

Yeah, but you cleaned all the van.

- You scrubbed it out. - It was a bad smell.

It stank.

Stank. That�s OK, yes?

Yes

Duscan Zigic.

- What is that? A Muslim name? - No.

Serbiarn

What are your views on Muslims?

Zivi pusti druge da zive.

Live and let live.

Were you in the army?

No.

I don�t fight.

There�s CCTV of him going into the petrol station...

and buying his lucky ticket.

It�s timed at 3:17.

It fits his story.

OK, let him go for now.

Let�s save some PACE time.

Meet back at the office, half an hour, right?

So, Forensics have had a look at the wire in his van.

It turns out it�s the same type and gauge of wire

used on her wrists and ankles, but there is no actual forensic link.

They�ve also had a first look at his room,

and they don�t think it�s the killing scene.

OK, well, let�s just go back to the neighbours.

Talk to that landlord.

He�s a nosy geezer, you might get something out of him.

Go to the Serbian Centre. We need a full profile.

And how are we doing on those building sites?

We�ve set up a team to crunch through the list.

It�s a long old list.

OK. Simon, I want you on top of that, please.

Make sure they put in the hours, OK?

Do you think he�s worth it?

Yeah. Obviously.

I didn�t pick anything up.

I mean, he drove past the crime site, he cleaned his van.

I�d be better use finding the sister through Kasim Ibrahimivic.

I looked at the files you gave me.

- That information is over a year old. - Brilliant.

I want Zigic ruled in or out.

Er, Jasmina Blekic, we�ve traced her address. Through Kasim.

- Yes! - Fantastic!

Good tick. Big tick.

I�ll just go and get her.

Mum! Telephone!

Good evening, I�m...

Sorry to disturb you.

I�m a police officer. We�re looking for Jasmina Blekic.

Good evening. I�m DCI Simon Finch. I�m looking for Jasmina Blekic.

DS Simms. I�m looking for Kasim.

Do they live in this building?

Thank you.

- No Muslims! No Muslims! - Hello.

- Who lives here? - Mrs Manduko.

- Where are we going? - There�s someone else who lives here.

Ah, who lives here?

Samira, Jasmina and Kasim.

Did you see them today?

- Did you see them yesterday? - No.

All right. Thanks very much, Haweeya. Go back to your mum now.

- You�ve been a great help. - Thank you.

Jasmina!

I don�t like this.

Oh, she�s on a beach in Llandudno.

All right, let�s get in there.

Pop the lock?

Jasmina?

Taff, find the light switch.

- No juice. - Maybe there�s a meter somewhere.

Yeah, find it, will you?

Hello?

- Nothing in the cupboard. - No-one in the bathroom.

I�ve got the meter.

No sign of a struggle.

Kitchen�s clear.

Nice lot of duty-free.

Can�t get those in the high street.

OK, you two go and check with the houses on either side.

Talk to the neighbours and, across the way, as well.

- See if they�ve seen anything. - OK.

Shit.

It�s all right! It�s all right, I...

I... I�m a police officer.

I�m not going to hurt you.

It�s Jasmina, is it? Jasmina?

Jasmina, just...

Put the knife down. Put the knife down.

Just stay there. I�ll put the light on.

All right?

Just... just stay there.

We�ve been looking for you for quite a while.

Jasmina, I have to ask you some questions.

You know about your sister?

I�ve been trying to find out about you and Samira.

You were training to be a doctor?

I was studying in Bosnia.

- Who are you? - I�m a police officer.

You broke in.

I was concerned when we didn�t get an answer, so I had the door forced.

You just smashed your way in!

I have a warrant to search these premises regarding the murder of Samira Blekic.

- Who are you? - Fuck you.

Oi! Language!

You want better language? Yebitse!

I have to formally ask you.

Yes.

It is my sister.

Samira went to work and didn�t come back home. That�s all we know.

So, when Samira went to work, was she any different from how she usually was?

No, she was fine.

Happy.

There is no reason for anyone to have done this.

No reason.

Jasmina, could there have been a part of her life that you didn�t know about?

Was she a prostitute?

Like you said, she was in the papers.

No! She was not!

Yes, she was young, and she was beautiful.

But she was hard-working, and she was honest.

She was 13

when we came here... from the war.

We lost our parents and our house.

And we came here because we thought it was safe.

And in ten years,

she has not taken a penny from you.

I know how you despise us.

How you think we are less than you because we do the filthy jobs.

But we are not.

Jasmina, when she didn�t come home, you were worried about her.

You went to the hotel to try and find her.

So, when her photo was in the newspapers,

why didn�t you contact us, why didn�t you call the police?

I was afraid you�d send me back.

Well, the hiding place, under the floorboards...

- What did you want to hide from? - It was there when we moved in.

- It has nothing to do with us. - Oh, all right.

Erm... Well...

Jasmina, would you mind looking at some photographs,

and just tell us if you recognise any of the men?

Thank you, Simon.

Why are you doing this, putting her through this?

It�s all right, it won�t take very long.

Jasmina, would you like a break?

Hm? Why don�t you have a break? Come with me.

It�s all right. It�s all right, I�ll take her.

Do you want another coffee? Tea?

Jasmina, I think you recognised one of those men in those photographs.

Did you?

Where was he from?

Was he from Bosnia?

He didn�t kill us.

He was going to...

...but he didn�t.

You can smoke if you want.

I know you like a smoke, cos we found these at your place.

I�ve never seen them before.

I think you have. These, and thousands like them.

Kasim, I can help you get out of the mess you�re in.

You see, I know a lot about you.

You�re smart.

I prefer an informal chat. I think that would be to your advantage, too.

How you call this? Tea or coffee?

We were stopped by Serbs.

They took... over the bus that we were in.

They were wearing hoods.

And...

they drove us away.

And then they ordered us out and then they took... men away.

And about... 20 minutes later, we heard shots.

He...

...he took me and Samira into...

a building like a factory.

He was not wearing a hood.

And then, we saw on the floor...

...the bodies of the men.

And he ordered us to stand next to the...

And he was going to shoot us.

And then he fired into the wall.

And pointed to the bodies.

And I understood what he meant.

So, we tried to hide in-between them and under them,

but they were...

they were heavy and Samira was screaming.

And it...

And they were all the people that we knew.

They were our friends.

Our neighbours.

My uncle.

We managed to stay...

to pretend dead until it was dark.

And... then we crept away.

Ten years ago is a long time.

Are you sure it�s the same man?

Oh, yes.

I remember I kept thinking,

"This is the last person I will ever see."

He was my age.

He didn�t look cruel.

He was handsome.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes, it is the same man.

- Do you know his name? - No.

Somebody called him Vodnik.

That means sergeant.

That dugout under the floorboards,

I think you built it.

It�s not for people, is it? It�s for cigarettes.

You could store, what, 10, 20,000 down there? Hm?

We are in pain. We are grieving.

We need to bury Samira and we need to bury her now.

I think you know why Samira was killed.

She was killed because of you.

As a warning, a punishment for getting out of line with the thugs you work for.

Samira looks like Jasmina.

Those men who tortured and murdered her, did they make a mistake?

Did they think she was your girlfriend?

Enough! Where is Jasmina?

Samira was very, very frightened when we came here.

She couldn�t go out.

So, we built this place under the floor.

Because it gave her something to do. She was doing something, she was protecting herself.

Kasim doesn�t know about it. He wasn�t lying.

Jasmina, before this... sergeant

brought you to the building,

had anything happened to you and Samira?

To Samira?

Jasmina!

Jasmina! Jasmina!

- Don�t say a thing! It�s all a trick! - Calm down!

- Where is she? - Do you want to get off me?

Calm down! Behave yourself!

Or it�s Immigration and a plane ticket home!

Dumb-wit! I�m a British citizen!

You treat us like citizens!

What the fuck do you think you�re playing at?

We needed them!

I asked them to be kept on board!

He manufactured the argument as a distraction,

worried about what she was telling you.

She�s identified Duscan Zigic as someone she knew from Bosnia.

Do you believe her?

Listen.

I want this investigation and you...

to focus on Duscan Zigic.

I want you to get in touch with the War Crimes Unit.

Find out if an atrocity occurred in June of 1992.

Can we keep looking at Kasim?

No! I want Duscan Zigic re-arrested.

And send in DS Simms!

Look, I don�t know what kind of limited ideas you may hold...

about the community we serve, but they�d better expand

to include Kasim Ibrahimivic and Jasmina Blekic.

Yes, guv.

You know, there is a 12-week residential course

I could send you on that is specially designed...

to help you appreciate cultural sensitivities.

I�d prefer amputation.

Yeah, well, that�s not what you need cutting off.

Go on, piss off.

Yes, guv.

Mr Zigic, I�d like you to come with me to answer some more questions.

No. I have to go to work.

If I come with you now, I�ll lose my job.

Don�t worry, you can call your employer, explain the situation.

No.

Sve ove nema veze samnom nikakve veze maltretiraju me jer sam Srbin!

Mr Zigic, I�m arresting you on suspici�n of the murder of Samira Blekic.

It means, "Only unity can save the Serbs."

- What does that tell me about him? - That he�s proud of his country.

And?

It�s not paramilitary, if that�s what you�re thinking.

Well, he did lie about being in a paramilitary unit.

That doesn�t mean much.

No Serb over here is going to put his hand up to that.

OK, well, I�ve got our War Crimes Unit

investigating an atrocity in Bosnia.

Can you use your contacts, as well?

That�s the details. The time and the place.

I mean, my whole case rests on it.

I�ve got no proof that it ever happened.

I�ll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Jane, remember that phone call the other night?

Yeah.

It was the end of something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, actually,

it was just an excuse to come and see you.

Not a very good idea, because I�m not very good company at the moment.

How come?

You know, I... I stole this investigation from a junior officer.

I mean, how pathetic is that?

Maybe you�re at a loose end, not enough to do.

Well...

You know, in a few more years I won�t have anything to do.

Sooner, if some people get their way.

I�m sure you�ll find some way to fill the time.

Swearing at strangers, most likely.

Yeah, that sounds like fun.

Thanks.

Oh, my scarf.

I�m sorry, we have a problem with the interpreter. He�ll be a bit late.

- Aren�t you interviewing Zigic, guv? - No. How�s the CCTV going?

Finished. All 120 hours of it.

120 hours, eh?

Well,

perhaps she�ll have a look at it, just to make sure, eh?

Delegation, delegation, delegation.

I�m so sorry for keeping you waiting.

For the benefit of the DVD, Mr Milan Lukic has just entered the room.

- All right, guv? - It�s Starsky and Hutch.

You said you didn�t fight in the war. Is that correct?

Yes, I didn�t fight.

We have now spoken to a witness, who I don�t propose to identify,

who said they met you in Bosnia and you were with a paramilitary unit.

No. No!

The witness has identified you from a photographic line-up.

- Who is this person? - Were you in Bosnia during the war?

- Yes. - Could you explain to me...

the meaning of the tattoo on your arm?

"Only unity saves the Serbs."

And you didn�t fight for your country?

For the benefit of the video,

I am showing Mr Zigic a photograph of a farmhouse that we took from his room.

Would you tell me about this photo, please?

It was my home.

It�s very beautiful.

Does your family still live there?

No.

Oh, was it sold?

Lost in the war?

- To a Muslim family. - What�s the relevance of this?

And you didn�t fight for your country?

I think you did.

Nisam ga razumio.

Mislio sam da misli "borac",

ja sam bio vojnik ali kuhar. Reci joj da se nisam se borio.

May I?

- Yes, please. - There is confusi�n.

Mr Zigic says that he assumed you meant a fighting soldier.

He was in the army. But he was a cook.

In a logistical unit. He didn�t fight.

I didn�t understand.

Could you tell me, please, where you were in June of 1992?

A long time ago.

I would like to know the relevance of these questions to the crime under investigation.

The victim is from the same country as your client.

I�m trying to establish whether there was a connection between them.

So, erm...

The witness has said that you were a sergeant in the paramilitary unit.

I was a cook.

They said you had a gun.

Not a gun!

A saucepan.

Did you take part in a massacre of Muslim men and boys in June of 1992?

This is a fishing trip. It has no relevance to the crime

- ... under investigation. - Kakvo pecanje?

Ne pecanje u pravom smislu,

bjasnjava da Tennison "lovi u mutnom" ne bi li sta ispalo.

I�ve just explained to Mr Zigic

the meaning of you being on a fishing trip.

At least I think I have.

Thank you.

Would you take a look at this photo, please?

Do you know her?

Well, that is a photograph of the victim.

I think you met her on June 12, 1992.

Her name is Samira Blekic.

She knew you were involved in that massacre.

That is the reason you tortured and murdered her.

Listen!

I was only a cook.

But I was proud to serve my country.

The army I was in

did not kill women or children.

The stories are always the same. Always how Serbs are bad.

Never Muslims.

Never Croatians.

- Always the Serbs. - Yes.

Superintendent, I strongly object

to the inference of guilt because my client is Serbian and the victim is Muslim.

This isn�t a question of Serbian bad, Muslim good.

- Thnere were atrocities Orn bothn sides - I dorn�t rneed a hnistory lessorn

Ten years ago, he saved their lives, so why torture?

- Mr Zigic. - Zigic.

Mr Zigic...

Why did you leave your country?

The country you loved so much, you�re so proud of.

Hm?

Well, I think you left because you had to.

Because you were involved in that massacre.

I am nothing to do with this.

Nothing.

All right, let�s start from the beginning.

All right, thanks.

All the buildings he had access to have been checked. We don�t have a killing scene.

We�d never take a jury with us. Ten years on,

she picks him out of a photo line-up with nothing to back it up.

- Can�t we hold him on what we�ve got? - No, I wouldn�t.

I�m terminating this interwiew. The time is 14:30.

Your client will be held for further questioning. Thank you, Mr Zigic.

Superintendent.

I hope you don�t think it inappropriate.

I�m an optician, I couldn�t help noticing.

I think you need a new prescription.

Yes, you�re probably right.

Yes, thank you very much, Mr Lukic.

You�re in there, guv.

Oh, we may have a possible eyewitness to Samira leaving work Saturday night.

He�s a dosser. Should be able to find him tonight, roosting time.

OK. Good.

A late night for someone, then.

Yeah.

It was dark. I�m sure I wouldn�t have seen much.

I heard them, I saw them and then she ran past me in tears.

- Are you sure about the time? - They woke me up! I was pissed off!

I looked at my watch.

I wouldn�t want to put anyone in a pigeonhole, but erm...

rough-sleepers are generally not known for carrying watches.

Tell you what, I�ll shave, shower, put on a suit I used to wear, then you ask me again.

Called on to testify...

...you might have to get that suit cleaned.

Hello, guv. I�ve got something here on that tramp.

I left her here.

I went that way, she went down there.

Well, how was she?

Well, after 12 hours in that place, the same as everyone, exhausted.

So how did you part?

What do you mean?

Well, was it a... friendly goodbye?

Yes.

Stephen, we have an eyewitness who saw

a white woman of Samira�s description and a black male of your description

having an argument, she ran off and he shouted threats at her.

Well, I didn�t think it was important.

The last person who saw her alive. You have a public shouting match. She ends up dead.

You didn�t think that was important?

The exact reason I didn�t want to say anything.

I came forward because I thought it was the right thing to do.

Yeah, it was the right thing to do. But now you need to tell me everything.

Samira came into work upset, OK?

Very upset.

She didn�t want to talk about it.

She asked me to walk her home. It wasn�t near where I lived.

I�d just done a 12-hour shift. I was dead on my feet.

When we got here,

I said to her I�d like to sleep at her house.

She took it the wrong way, started shouting at me.

I got angry. We argued. She walked off. I thought, "Fuck you, lady!"

- And you said it, too. - Yes, and then I went home!

How do you think I feel now, eh?

Er, we checked the phone that you called us from.

And that night, there were six calls made to the hospital

where Samira�s sister worked and then five calls were made

to the communal phone where Samira and her sister lived, from your phone.

No, no.

I didn�t make these calls.

No, I... I don�t know these numbers!

They were made from your phone,

Sonny Jim!

I keep my phone in my jacket.

It�s left in the canteen. Samira might have borrowed it.

Jasmina!

Best not break it down twice, eh?

No, no-one�s seen them all day.

- Hello? - Hello.

Hello, Haweeya.

- It�s the police lady here. - Hello.

- Will you speak to me again? - Yeah.

- Shall I meet you on the stairs, then? - OK.

- Bye. - Bye.

And this was on the Saturday night?

What did you and Samira talk about on the telephone?

She wanted to talk to Jasmina.

Was it important?

Did she... did she leave a message for Jasmina?

And... erm...

what was the message?

Haweeya, you won�t get into trouble. You�re my special detective.

She said bad things.

What sort of bad things?

Was she sad?

Very sad. She was crying.

She said I had to tell Jasmina.

But I didn�t. I was afraid.

Why were you afraid?

Haweeya,

what was the message?

Samira had seen...

...the devil.

The devil?

Did she say where she saw him?

Will he come after me, too?

No.

No, because I�m going to find him...

and I�m going to lock him away and he�s never coming out.

Please take a seat, sir.

- Will that be all, ma�am? - Yes, thank you, Josh.

Hello.

Obrenovic.

- Where is interpreter? - Mr Obrenovic is an interpreter.

Why not the other man?

There�s some urgency about the questions the police want to ask.

It seems they thought it would take too long for Mr Lukic to get here.

Mr Zigic...

p eaase

We�ve been asking you questions about last weekend.

Now I want you to tell me exactly where you were on Saturday morning until midday.

So, you don�t need a translation?

- Saturday morning. - I was at work.

But you work nights.

Were you moonlighting?

I did a double shift.

- Where did you work? - An office near the airport.

Heathrow?

No, City Airport.

Ask at OCB.

All right, that�s it.

Thank you for coming in at such short notice.

It appears you weren�t needed, after all.

All right, thanks, Mickey.

Zigic�s alibi checks out.

Two witnesses put him in an office building

between six that morning and three in the afternoon.

There�s also timecoded CCTV footage of him in the building.

If Samira did see the devil that morning, it wasn�t Duscan Zigic.

We�re going to have to let him go.

So, where does that leave us?

Looking for another devil.

The War Crimes Unit don�t have a record of the atrocity

Jasmina claims to have been caught up in.

Perhaps she made it up.

We�re still looking for the illegals Vane had working for him.

Just in case there�s a connection there.

- Good of you to join us, Lorna. - Guv,

I�ve located Jasmina Blekic.

Good. At least we�ve got something.

Thanks, Mickey. Good work.

I�m sorry I�m late. It�s Amy. Her throat.

- It�s fine. It�s fine. - She should cut down on the fags.

Oh, shut up, Taff!

Subject getting into a blue Volkswagen Beetle.

The driver is believed to be Rosemary Henderson.

Jasmina?

I�ve spoken to someone who took a message for you, from Samira, the night she died.

The message was that she�d seen the devil.

You know him, don�t you?

This devil.

Who is he?

- You�re frightened, I know. - You... you... you...

Please don�t tell me you understand.

You wake up every morning for ten years terrified,

then you can tell me that.

Is he the reason you built the hiding place under the floor?

If you help us, I can make you safe.

- This isn�t Bosnia. - Samira wasn�t safe.

But you can be, because I promise you I will find the man who did this.

You saved her life.

You mended her as best you could.

And now you have to do one more thing.

For your brave, your courageous,

your beautiful sister.

You have to tell me who this man is. Who is the devil?

When they took us off the bus...

...he was the one giving the orders.

I... I thought it might be even all right.

He was...

...smiling, charming...

...welcoming us.

We were made to stand in the line.

And he walked along and made...

everyone shake hands with him.

Then I understood.

He was playing God.

You will live...

...you will die.

And you would...

...amuse my soldiers.

He picked us out for himself.

He kept us for days.

Did he burn you or Samira with cigarettes?

If I was slow...

...or he thought I wasn�t... enjoying myself enough...

But only her.

He only burnt her.

I begged him to burn me.

I begged him.

Then, when, erm...

...when we were just blood and rags,

he ordered that sergeant to take us away.

But... er...

We applied for asylum.

But... er...

...I couldn�t put Samira through the questions.

We were so ashamed.

That�s why they rape you.

So you are always, always, always ashamed.

Do you know his name?

He was kind, he was charming,

smiling, you said.

You see, we have to get a picture of what this man was like.

Will you work with a sketch artist for us? It�ll be a woman.

Kasim is here to take me home.

Journalists came today. If... er...

...they write about me, I will lose my job.

No, no. I�ll make sure that doesn�t happen.

Tomorrow, I will help you to draw the picture.

This is Mr Lukic. He will be your interpreter.

Any words or phrases you don�t understand, you ask him.

Obar darn kado ste

Mogao bi biti bolje Pa evo rnas opet

Obrernovic

- Whnere is irnterpreter? - Mr Obrernovic is arn irnterpreter

Why not the other man?

There�s some urgency about the questions the police want to ask.

Mogao bi biti boje Pa evo rnas opet

Oh, fuck!

Mr Milan Lukic has just entered the room.

Good evening, Superintendent.

Good of you to see me at such short notice.

Come through.

The best part of the day.

Nice and quiet.

They�ve all gone home.

I can see a few changes in your blood vessels.

Are you under any stress at the moment?

No.

I�m just putting some dye in your eye.

It�s completely harmless.

Chin on the bar, please.

- Did you train in Serbia? - No, here.

- London? - Manchester.

Keep still, please.

Look into my eye.

If you relax, you�ll stay in the right position.

Unlock your knees, legs a little apart.

A few broken blood vessels.

A slight dryness.

Otherwise very healthy. Good.

Keep still now.

I�m going to look under your eyelid.

It might be a little uncomfortable.

No dark secrets there.

That is uncomfortable.

The bottom line?

K, Z,

zero...

Erm...

O, H.

Letter perfect.

But it�s the reading that you have problems with.

The ageing process.

Another chink in the armour.

The middle section.

Every afternoon, as they were coming home from school,

the children used to go and play in the giant�s garden,

a lovely place with soft, green grass.

Oscar Wilde. My children helped me choose the pieces.

Try the bottom piece.

I can�t read that.

Now...

Iook at me.

What do you see?

Am I sharp, or fuzzy?

Sharp.

The country�s sinking under the weight of them.

The door should have been shut, bolted, and painted over a long time ago.

And I don�t think we�re getting the best of Mr Vane, regarding finding Beckham and co.

We�ll let him load up, follow him back to his site, ruin his day,

then perhaps he�ll give us his full attention.

Lukic. Yes, he is on the approved list of interpreters.

But why did you choose him?

Er... I didn�t.

It was the suspect�s solicitor, Henderson. She brought him in.

It was her idea. We were busy, she helped us out.

But he is on the approved list, ma�am.

- Look, it�s his details here. - Yup.

- Thank you. - They get vetted! Thoroughly vetted!

Yes, they do. I know.

You know, I�m tempted. I need the garden wall rebuilt.

I wonder just how cheap they are.

It�s OCB.

This building wasn�t on the list they gave us.

If Zigic had access to it and if someone was holding it back...

Good. I�ll see you there. Half an hour, depending on the traffic. Bye.

- Lorna. - Yes, ma�am?

Lorna, I want you to bring in Jasmina.

She�s expecting to work with a sketch artist. I want her to look at a tape first.

Oh, what�s it a tape of?

Just bring her in. And don�t bring in her boyfriend Kasim.

But softly-softly.

Simon. Simon.

We might have the killing scene.

Check it out with me. I�ll see you downstairs.

See? There�s nothing here. Nothing.

It was a completion race.

If they couldn�t move in tomorrow, it would have cost me thousands.

I didn�t want your lot scaring off any more of my workers.

That�s the only reason I asked the security firm to hold back on it.

It was empty that Saturday night, Sunday morning?

I locked up about six, Saturday evening.

I had them start again Sunday morning, about eight. Don�t stand on the floor!

Boss.

Zigic was last assigned to look after this building three weeks ago.

He knew the main entrance access codes.

The builders keep a key to this apartment

- behind a fire extinguisher. - Are they with you?

Watch where you walk, love! That varnish needs 24 hours.

- Has this floor been down long? - Since yesterday.

It was started last Sunday. It�s reclaimed pine.

- Now, get off it. - What�s it laid on?

Four-inch joists. Now, get off!

- It�ll have to come up. - Yeah.

You can�t do that!

You can�t just rip it up!

You can�t fucking do this to me!

I�m arresting you on suspici�n of perverting the course of justice.

It�s about three-quarters of the way.

Did you have a starter?

All right. Cheers, Graham. Bye.

- Simon. - Hello, sir.

- How�s things? - Good, thanks, yeah.

- Still all right for Tuesday? - The grudge match? Oh, yes!

Good.

What�s Mr Zigic been up to?

Er... he went home.

He went out, he caught a bus to a community centre,

he had lunch and he went home again.

How many officers?

12 in all, sir.

Expensive lunch.

Yeah.

Hello, Jane.

Sir.

I just got this from Customs Intelligence.

It seems Kasim did go against his bosses.

There�s a price on his head.

His family and friends could be at risk, too.

Another possible lead?

Yes.

We�ve got wire. And we�ve got blood.

Forensics have promised us a site match

with the roll from his tool box and his wire cutters.

Sounds good.

Yeah. Yeah, it is good. Yeah.

Jasmina!

Jasmina, are you there?

- Anything? - No, nothing.

Can you check under the floorboards, please?

- Anything? - No, nothing.

Guv, there�s no-one here.

I�ve got to go back to the hospital.

They were wrong about her not being at work. It�s total confusi�n there.

Lorna, I want her here.

Yeah, it�s coming through now. Thank you.

Guys, here we go.

The wire found in his tool box and under the floor

have an identical signature cut. The same pair of wire cutters was used.

Yes!

Right, and the blood match will seal it.

- Let�s bring him in. - Yes, guv.

- Good luck. - Well done, lads.

Open the door, Mr Zigic! Police officers!

Bollocks!

Shit!

Zigic can�t be found at his flat.

OK, when was he last seen?

When he went inside, about two hours ago.

There was that article about Jasmina in the newspaper this morning.

Cheadle?

I think he�s gone to the hospital to find her.

No, wait. I�ll see if Lorna�s got her.

- Lorna? You got her? - She could be anywhere.

Get over there.

Jane, look.

Oh, f-!

Jasmina? Sorry.

I�m looking for Jasmina Blekic. A cleaner. Do you know her?

Jasmina?

Jasmina?

Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry.

Jasmina Blekic. Cleaning staff, blonde.

Can I help you?

Oh. Sorry.

I have filled all the goddamn forms.

Give her body to me now!

- Sir, we can�t... - You will give her to me.

I have filled all the goddamn forms.

Her body has to be washed. She can only be washed by females.

She has to be shrouded according to Muslim tradition.

As soon as the coroner releases Jasmina�s body,

she can be prepared for burial along with her sister.

- Here. - What�s that?

These are her belongings.

You had him and you let him go.

We didn�t have enough evidence to hold him.

I promised Jasmina she would be safe

and I let her down, I�m sorry.

I�m sorry.

You think this is all because of me.

No. No, no. I...

I don�t think you are in any way connected or to blame...

for this, no.

My divorce came through last week.

We were going to get married.

No more looking over her shoulder.

What were they to him?

Did they know him?

I wish I could tell you.

He is a security guard?

But who is he?

Who is he?

Zigic. Duscan Zigic.

Get them to check all the rocks they�ve already looked under.

Shelters, hostels, cheap hotels.

The lot, and the same again tomorrow.

That sighting in Ealing. How can you mix up a Somali with a Serbian?

We�ll look back, knowing we�ve played a small part in a policing legend.

I�ve been trying to raise DCI Finch.

Whoosh! Gone.

He�ll want a lot of clear water between him and this disaster.

You can�t blame him. She nabbed the case off him.

He�s only trying to protect himself.

�Ooooh!

- Thank you. - Right.

This is Mr Lukic, who will be your interpreter.

Now, something between them. A look, a gesture, a... handshake.

I�m sure they know each other.

Dobar darn kado ste

Mogao bi biti bolje Pa evo rnas opet

What?

When they first meet.

Zigic says... "Here we go again."

- Yeah. So? - It�s a little too familiar for strangers.

I mean... It could mean that they... they know each other.

No, he... he qualifies it then. He says...

"Again, us Serbs... Again, the persecution of the Serbs."

lt�s... It could have been covering a mistake or...

Maybe it�s genuine. Maybe that�s what he feels is happening to him.

I don�t know. Maybe I�m saying it because you want me to.

Yeah. Or maybe it�s cos I�ve got no-one else to go after.

Miss Henderson, could you spare a few moments?

Regarding what?

- Duscan Zigic. - I�m a bit rushed.

Well, perhaps while you eat.

You do a lot of work for the Serbian community.

Yes.

Could you tell me how you first met the interpreter Milan Lukic?

No.

- Why not? - I don�t have to.

Your client visited this community centre quite often, didn�t he?

Do you know if Mr Lukic has also been a visitor?

I believe he has. Along with thousands of other people.

Are you aware of the two men having met outside of the interview room?

- I mean here, for example? - No, I�m not.

You say, I think there might have been some irregularity...

concerning your client and Mr Lukic.

The Custody Sergeant has a list of approved interpreters.

- Mr Lukic is listed. - Yes, yes, of course he is.

But it is a Custody Sergeant�s decisi�n which interpreter to use.

Not the suspect�s lawyers.

I brought him along to save time.

I just need to know if it was your decisi�n to include Mr Lukic...

or if he asked or persuaded you to bring him in.

No, it was my decisi�n.

Zigic had just over two hours to work his way across London

and locate Jasmina in a hospital that houses over 4,000 people.

I think he had help.

I think he was told where to find her.

Cheadle, could you get that file on Lukic?

Jasmina was executed, she was shot with a single bullet to the back of the head.

We know that Duscan Zigic did it.

With Samira, it was very different. It was... It was up close.

It was personal. She was... She was tortured with cigarette butts.

She was strangled with a pair of hands.

Milan Lukic.

The interpreter. The optician.

I think Zigic and Lukic were members of the same paramilitary unit.

I think those two sisters were killed to cover up a massacre...

they were both involved in.

I think Lukic was the devil that Samira saw on her way to work.

He recognised her. He had Zigic kidnap her.

He tortured her to find out where Jasmina was, so he could silence her, as well.

But Samira wouldn�t talk. So he murdered her, he dumped her body,

to get maximum publicity, so he could flush out information about Jasmina.

- So he could find a way... - Sorry I�m late. Sorry, guv.

Come on, come on. This isn�t a one-way street here.

Think the unthinkable. I might be wrong.

This is a supposition based on the story of a dead witness.

I have no proof that there�s any connection between the two men.

All I�ve got is this file on Lukic.

That�s the side he wants us to see. It�s the side he had vetted.

Let�s find out the other side. The nasty secrets.

His work, marriage, debts. Let�s pay Mr and Mrs Lukic a visit

and see what we can find out about them.

Mr Lukic?

Could we have a word, sir?

- About what? - If we could talk inside, sir.

- Yes? - Mrs Lukic?

- Yes. - I�m DS Jane Tennison.

And this is DC Lorna Greaves. Is your husband home?

- Er... No, he�s at work. - Oh.

It�s just that he�s helping us with a case. I wanted to ask him a few questions.

Is it all right if we come in and wait for him?

- Yes, sure. - Lovely. Thank you.

I was just admiring your two beautiful giris.

I can see your husband in them.

I don�t think so. They�re not his.

Really? I can usually spot a likeness.

- So these are your parents or his? - These are all photos of my family.

Have you been to Serbia to visit his?

- No. Why don�t I call him? - No, you know, don�t bother him.

This is just a formality.

We�re asking everyone who came in contact with a particular suspect

where they were at certain times.

You mean, like an alibi? I don�t understand.

My husband was working for you. Now he�s a suspect?

No... It�s just... really just standard procedure.

Erm... Lorna,

what�s the day that we were talking? God, my brain�s a sieve these days.

- Saturday, 20th, three weeks ago. - Yes, that�s right.

- Yes, Saturday three weeks ago. - He works on a Saturday.

And that Saturday evening?

Three weeks ago...

- We went to the theatre. - Really? What did you see?

I�m going to call him.

Outside of the interview room,

have you ever met or talked with Duscan Zigic?

No.

Have you ever seen him at the Community Centre in Bishop�s Avenue?

No.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Soon.

Very soon.

It seems my wife is also being questioned by the police.

Super, I think.

My wife seems somewhat upset by the experience.

So if you�ll excuse me.

And when he came home, were you awake or asleep?

Asleep.

I really can�t remember the details of something trivial happening three weeks ago.

Well, do you remember what he was wearing that night?

A blue suit, I think.

Do you know what happened to that blue suit?

No idea at all.

So you can�t show it to me?

I�d rather wait until my husband comes home, if that�s all right.

Excuse me.

I�ve been subjected to the most ridiculous questions.

Superintendent Tennison.

Mr Lukic.

This is DC Lorna Greaves.

Hello.

I�ve just been talking to some of your officers. I�m sure you know that.

Please sit.

So, this is all because I helped out as an interpreter, yes?

To eliminate you from our inquiries, yes.

So, your wife says that Saturday evening three weeks ago

you were at the theatre, then you drove the baby-sitter home.

What did you do after that?

- I came home. I went to bed. - Was your wife awake?

Yes, we talked about the play.

Your wife said she was asleep.

- We sat up and talked. - Now you�ve said it, I remember. Sorry.

- And what were you wearing? - That I can�t remember.

That Saturday morning, what were you doing?

- At work. Why? - What time did you get to work?

First appointment would be about eight.

Then I worked through till lunch time.

And how do you know Rosemary Henderson, Zigic�s solicitor?

I�ve already been over this.

I did some translation work for her.

She seemed to think it went well...

so she contacted me for this job.

See

All right, well. Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs Lukic. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Oh, did you serve in the Army during the war?

You know I did.

It�s in my police file.

Oh, gosh!

Oh, I�m sorry, I�m sorry.

Hello, Dad.

Hello.

- Right. - Er...

That�s erm...

That�s Wendy�s chair.

No-one messes with Wendy. Sorry, love.

Oh, OK.

- Erm... Is this one all right? - Yes.

I... I hope you�ll stay long enough to take your coat off.

How was supper?

Oh...

A lot better than my efforts used to be.

Thanks to my two very generous daughters,

I have the best room in the house.

Really, it�s...

...good here.

Pam tells me they�ve offered you retirement.

Well, it�s just one option.

Take it. Grab it with both hands. Run for the hills.

Well, look at you.

You can start a whole new life.

You�ve done your bit over and over.

Time you got out of the sewers.

That�s how you�ve always seen it.

Oh, sorry.

Look at the thanks you get.

The newspapers. That girl�s murder.

It�s as if you�d pulled the trigger.

I tell you, once you�ve stopped, you�ll look around.

You�ll only ask why you didn�t do it sooner.

Seen a ghost?

It�s going cold. You can sense other priorities taking over.

Perhaps he has legged it home.

Sorry. Erm...

Lukic�s details, guv. He checks out.

I went back to student days.

A year in Bosnia, then he trained in Manchester.

The university and the eye hospital confirmed he graduated.

They didn�t give us a lot. Records are patchy.

I did found out he set up a shop with his wife�s money.

Oh, good.

Yes!

The Hardy case. They all went down. 18 years apiece!

Good. Well done, Simon. Congratulations.

Guv, we might have something.

Lukic�s appointments for that Saturday, some are fictional.

His 8 o�clock and 8:30 were real, but...

from nine till one, although the names are genuine clients,

when I checked, they didn�t have appointments that morning.

Not only could he have crossed paths with Samira, he�s covering it up.

Yes, guv.

Simon, Simon. If you�ve got a moment,

perhaps some of your good fortune will rub off on this investigation.

- Well done, Simon. - Sorry, Taff, no time.

Itchy and Scratchy Show.

I�m sorry to keep you waiting. He does know you�re here.

Lynda, would you get me a double espresso and one of those cakes?

I�ll pay you back.

If you�ve come for your glasses, they�re not in yet.

No, that�s not why we�re here.

We�re here to ask you again where you were on the morning of Saturday 20th of last month.

Well, as I told you, I was with clients.

But I wasn�t here all the time.

- Where were you? - The Boston Hotel.

- Hyde Park? - Yes.

I met a client there at 9:30,

and stayed until about 12.

Why did you meet the client at the hotel?

E sex.

lt�s never the lie that damns you, is it?

It�s always the cover-up.

Mickey, we�ve had a tip-off.

Zigic. It�s a phone-in, but this one sounds real.

Aubrey Hotel. Kings Cross.

Hotel manager just confirmed the description.

Lovely.

I love my wife. And I was trying to protect my marriage.

I filled in false appointments in the hope you�d see...

I had a full morning.

I�m not at all practised or very bright at this kind of thing.

I panicked.

Er... Excuse me, boss.

Could we have the client�s details, please?

Of course.

Perhaps it was working as an interpreter.

A voyeur into your criminal worid.

I thought I could get away with it. I�d make a hopeless villain.

The name and address of the client you were with, please.

Will you tell my wife?

If it has nothing to do with our investigation,

we won�t interfere in a private matter between you and your wife. The name?

Yes, of course.

Sarah Ford.

He�s in number nine.

- Another half-mile silence zone. - Understood.

Off!

Oh, come on. Come on, come on!

Got it? Good.

- I�ve been expecting you. - Yeah.

The suspect�s in a room facing the street.

My lads are being briefed now.

- Have you got the authority? - Yes.

- Anything else I need to know? - He�s ex-Bosnian paramilitary.

He won�t give himself up. It�s about national pride.

He�ll either shoot his way out or he�ll commit suicide.

Inspector to all patrols. Implement roadblocks now.

I have clear sight of the suspect. Repeat: I have clear sight.

I have lost sight of suspect.

The question is whether he�s still in the room.

Oh, God, not again.

- Get back! - Get back.

Fucking hell! What�s going on?

Oh, my God! Get up, get up!

I�m not leaving anything!

Contact now!

Freeze!

Urgh!

Get back in!

- Hello, Larry. - How are you?

- Fine, thanks. - Haven�t seen you in ages.

Would you like a cup of tea, sir?

- Milk, no sugar. - Front row, sir?

Do you understand? Do you need the interpreter?

- How�s it going? - I think he�s trying to work out,

"Is it going to help me if I go Muppet?"

You weren�t in your room that Friday evening. Where did you go?

- Hospital. - Why did you go to the hospital?

I was sick.

Very sick.

Did you see a doctor?

Don�t remember.

You know all about security cameras, don�t you? That�s your job.

So, you were seen on a security camera,

carrying a gun.

The same gun that we found on you at the hotel.

That gun was used to kill a young woman.

We have evidence that suggests that you killed that woman.

I�m sorry. We won�t talk about that now.

And that�s painful for you.

I know.

I know it�s painful. You don�t kill women and children, do you?

That�s not why you fought for your country.

No.

Ten years ago, you were ordered to kill two young sisters,

weren�t you?

But you disobeyed that order.

You let them go.

So we won�t talk about what happened at the hospital.

But what we do need to talk about is how you knew where to find her.

Did someone tell you?

Who told you?

I killed her.

I killed her

Yes!

- Who told you where to find her? - Ssh!

I killed her

Yes, but not the first woman.

I mean, that girl was tortured.

Tortured. You don�t torture.

What�s she doing?

You wouldn�t burn a girl with cigarettes. That�s not you.

Who did that?

I killed them both.

Both sisters.

I killed them both.

Why did you kill them?

Well done, guys. Drinks are on me.

I don�t believe you did this on your own.

This is my word. I say no more.

- To the double! Cheers! - Cheers.

Where�s Jane?

- Bloody typical. Late as usual. - She�s on her way.

Saw you on the evening news, sir. Very impressive. Looked good.

Should make the ten o�clock, too.

"Police catch evil monster." Should shut the bastards up for a while.

She�s convinced another man�s involved.

Can you imagine, for the rest of his life,

every time he flushes a toilet, the anxiety?

He�s going to shit himself again, in�t he?

- I�ve seen him. - Who?

Zigic. The man on the p�ster, on the TV. I�ve seen him.

- Where�s that, sir? - Aubrey Hotel, Kings Cross

Kings Cross? And wher was that?

Now. I see him now. He just went in.

OK. Can I just take your name and number?

Sir?

Tennison.

Ah, there you are, ma�am.

There�s a Mr Lukic in reception for you.

- He says he has something for you. - Thank you.

I was passing by.

- Please. - Oh.

- Mm. Good. - May I?

Excellent.

If you have any problems, please don�t hesitate to call me.

Well, goodbye.

Oh!

I saw the news about our friend,

Mr Zigic.

Congratulations.

Oh, God. The last time I saw Martin was...

- ...your wedding. - At the wedding.

He complains it�s the last time he saw anybody.

You did the right thing to concentrate on your career.

Simon says you did the hard slog and spotted the white van.

Well done.

That�s where the answers always are. In the details.

We need more good people like you coming through. Good work.

Here she is!

- Well done, ma�am. - No, good result all round.

- Good work. Thanks. - Cheers.

Not over yet. Yeah? Yes, sir?

- Glad it came good for you. Well done. - Well...

I�ve charged him with the second murder. I still want to question him about the first.

Sorry, I�ve got to get this. Excuse me.

You were right.

And I was...

so wrong.

You know, I listened to that tip-off phone call.

Yeah. Male. Foreign accent.

That was made from an untraceable mobile phone.

It could have been genuine, but...

if it wasn�t, that was meant to be a death sentence.

Someone knew we�d send an armed response unit.

They knew that Zigic would try and fight his way out or else he�d take his own life.

It wasn�t Lukic. The call was made at 15:17. He was with us.

- Oh, was he? - Yeah.

Yeah, he was. We got to the shop at 15:15, maybe even a bit before.

Don�t you remember, he kept us waiting?

Like three, four minutes?

That�s long enough to make a mobile phone call.

You really want it to be him, don�t you?

- No, ignore her. - No, no.

All right. Don�t celebrate too soon, guys.

Not done and dusted, OK?

Hold your horses.

Should I call a lawyer?

There�s a swarm of them just beyond that glass.

Mr Lukic didn�t warn you we�d be asking you to support his alibi?

No, he didn�t.

That doesn�t necessarily surprise me.

Oh?

I can support his alibi.

I was with him at the Boston Hotel that particular Saturday.

We met about 9:30 and left sometime before 12.

Can you be a little more... precise?

About what?

Er... The time.

Not really, no.

Who paid for the room?

It was my turn.

The credit card transaction says 11:43.

Give us two minutes to say, "Bye. We really must do this again sometime."

Puts us back out on the street at 11:45.

He went north. I went west.

Sergeant, would you mind waiting outside for a few moments?

Yes, ma�am.

Woman to woman.

I thought you might not be quite so frightened.

What�s he done?

We�re investigating the brutal, sadistic murder of a young woman...

...that took place that Saturday evening.

And you suspect Milan?

How long have you known him?

Two or three months. We�ve met five or six times.

Where did you first meet?

He�s my optician.

But you�re in a relationship. How did that start?

I... went to have my eyes checked.

What I thought was going to be a dull chore turned out to be fun.

He�s very seductive.

Charming. Extremely straightforward.

He knew what he wanted and he knew how to ask.

It was refreshing.

Did he talk about his marriage?

Yes.

He cheats on his wife.

I doubt he gave me a second thought outside the times we were together.

But brutal and sadistic?

No, I�m sorry.

Absolutely not.

It�s just not him at all.

And I would know.

So, 11:45...

to 12.

It still gives us a 15-minute window in which he could have seen Samira.

She could have seen him.

- Do you want my honest opinion? - No.

You can see the hotel from here.

Sarah Ford said he was walking north in this direction.

Samira would have been on her way to work in the opposite direction.

She�s going to go in right there. It would have been about 11:50, 11:55.

Let�s say that he saw her around about here.

Can you imagine that shock?

He was... He was certain she was dead.

And now she�s come back to haunt him.

She could ruin his new life.

But he hasn�t seen her for ten years.

She was a kid. 12 years old.

Maybe she looks very like...

like her sister did when she was 22.

Samira would recognise the man who raped and tortured her for four days.

So, she catches sight of him.

He walks on.

But he... he�s not certain that she saw him.

He�s not even sure that it was her.

He�s got to make himself sure, otherwise it�ll gnaw away at him.

So... So he can�t resist. He looks back and sees her going into the hotel.

Now, we were getting close to him.

We made him admit that he was here that Saturday morning.

So he gives us Zigic.

He knew that Zigic was a loyal soldier.

He�d lay down to two murders. Maybe we�d kill him into the bargain.

But there�s no link between Zigic and Lukic.

Zigic and Lukic.

I�ve found your massacre.

Are you serious?

An Italian cameraman I used to hang out with heard I was digging around.

It�s the exact date...

...and the details match.

He tried to sell the footage here, but it was er...

far too harrowing to be shown in British homes after dinner.

What button is it?

- Er... The triangle. - Yeah. Got it.

Oh, my...

And where does this take us?

It shows that the massacre took place.

I think those two sisters were murdered to cover it up.

I think it�s essential that I go to Bosnia and I visit the site of the massacre

to establish a link with Milan Lukic.

Oh, you think so?

Well, I�ve... studied his file.

And he�s been very carefully vetted.

All the more reason to go to Bosnia.

I think he�s the mind behind both murders.

That�s supposition without any evidence.

Yeah, that�s because the evidence is in Bosnia!

How many current murder investigations are you managing?

24?

Jane, I can�t sanction this

in terms of time, money or just sheer effective policing.

You�ve got a suspect who�s confessed to both murders.

Close it. Move on.

No way are you going to Bosnia!

This is it.

You wait here.

Police.

They don�t much like foreigners sticking their fingers in old wounds.

Did they... talk about the massacre?

Maassaace?

What massacre?

Dali znate ovog covjeka?

Ne.

Ask her if she was here in the summer of �92.

Jeste li zivjeli ovdje u ljeto devedest droge?

Ne.

Dali znate za masakr sto se ovde deiso?

Ne znam o cemu govorite.

- Dovidjenja. - Dovidjenja.

She�s lived here all her life. There was no massacre,

no paramilitary and she�s never seen him.

Erm... Excuse me.

Ne.

Picku materinu govna odvratina, sta traze ovdje!

- What are they saying? - Nothing helpful.

You�re not the force for good you imagine yourself to be.

A lot of people think they lost the war through meddling foreigners.

Are there any Muslims we can ask?

I�m sorry I asked you to come back here.

I didn�t do any good here before and now I feel even more useless.

We�re never going to find out anything.

OK, let�s move on to where we know he studied.

- How far is it to Kraz... - Krazinac.

- Krazinac. - Four or five hours.

Oh!

Maybe a little longer.

You told me I would never understand how he thinks.

I wouldn�t be able to get inside of his head.

I thought going to the factory would help.

All it did was terrify you.

- Sickened me. - There�s hope for you yet.

I spent four years taking pictures of it and I miss it.

Tennison and West.

Room 7.

- There�s another room. - Just a second.

Room 15.

You�re on the seventh and you�re on the eighth floor.

You�re welcome.

My floor.

It�s supposed to be an enduring legacy

of all communist regimes.

Oh, Jesus!

Excellent filing...

on everyone and everything.

It didn�t work for this population.

Sorry.

- Milan Lukic, yes? - Yes.

Milan Lukic... completed an ophthalmic course here,

then moved to England, Manchester.

Could I see?

- Nothing else? - No.

Could you locate someone who worked and studied with him but still lives in the area?

I�d be very appreciative.

You sit down here.

"Why don�t you sit here?" "Anything for you, Robert."

Milan Lukic?

Of course. He�s alive?

Yes, yes. He�s living in London.

We were students together.

He went to study in England. Came back when the war broke out...

to look after his father.

Then the idiot got himself drafted.

When was the last time you saw him?

Mm... Early on in the war.

We lost contact.

I heard rumours he was dead.

A very shy... and gentle man.

Always writing terrible poetry.

Shy?

This man?

That�s not Milan.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- Well, do you know who this is? - Dragan Jankovic.

- Dragan... - Jankovic.

Jankovic.

Erm... Well, how do you know him?

He studied with us.

But he never completed.

I think there was some kind of...

family expectation that he would go into an uncle�s practice.

But he went into local government or somewhere he could scam money.

- Was he in the Army? - Not the regular one. Too many rules.

In the beginning, we were quite distant from the war here.

Jankovic was one of the first, later to be known as, ��weekend warriors��.

They had contact with the paramilitary groups.

They�d keep their regular jobs

but go off and play soldiers at the weekend.

Jankovic wasn�t interested in politics.

He wasn�t a nationalist. It was just a sport to him.

Hunting Muslims.

Then I heard he disappeared.

We assumed he�d been killed.

What happened?

He became an optician.

In North London.

Simon. Simon, it�s me.

Listen, put a surveillance on Milan Lukic.

We�ve had a major breakthrough. He isn�t who he says he is.

I�ll meet you tomorrow morning. I want a squad meeting at eight sharp, OK?

Good. Bye.

Where does he think you�ve phoned from?

Paris. Where you�ll take me when this is all over.

Jane.

We�re needed over at Scotland Yard for a meeting now.

A meeting? Why? What�s the meeting about, sir?

I�d be lying if I said I didn�t know.

Bosnia.

What the hell were you playing at?

Come in, Jane.

- Take a seat. - Sir.

Scratch your mark on those.

Official secrets.

It�s never been a problem for you before.

And then are we going to be introduced?

Oh, I�m not important.

I just brought the forms over.

Obrad Stankovic.

Milutin Ksumovic.

Rade Vemic.

They have over 100 indictments for crimes against humanity.

The UN have been after them for years.

After a great deal of effort, time and money, they�ve got them.

But they wouldn�t have got them without information supplied by Milan Lukic.

Lukic has infiltrated a section of the Serbian community

that has intelligence on the whereabouts of suspected war criminals.

He�s in position to be extremely useful in the future.

Milan Lukic�s real name is Dragan Jankovic. He is also a war criminal.

He�s responsible for the rape of women and children as young as 12...

...and for the massacre of some 30 civilian Muslim men and boys.

You are correct about his name and cover.

We helped set it up for him,

as well as securing him a position as an approved police interpreter.

We know the rumours.

The ��weekend warrior��, the massacre that you refer to.

None of them are true.

Probably difficult for you to appreciate the number of old scores

that are settled by accusation in Bosnia.

We are aware of the unsubstantiated allegations

made by one of the murdered sisters

that she was a witness to the massacre.

But she identified Zigic, not Jankovic.

And if Dragan Jankovic is responsible for the murder of those two sisters?

- He isn�t. - I can produce evidence to prove that he is.

We don�t think you can.

Yes, well...

with respect, what you think is not the issue here.

I am the Senior Investigating Officer

and it is a matter between me and the Crown Prosecution Service.

Yes, it is. No question about that.

You became suspicious of Jankovic because of his role as a police interpreter.

You correctly deduced he was infiltrating the interview room.

There is, however, no other connection

and no history between him and Zigic.

There are no records that will connect them.

And no contemporary evidence, either.

We have come to the conclusi�n that Zigic was acting alone

and that the alibi provided by Mrs Jankovic for her husband

proves conclusively that he is innocent of any involvement.

I do appreciate

the desire to associate oneself with an historical tragedy is a very potent one.

It gives a sense of self-worth and importance.

I advise you to resist that urge.

You may not use anything that has been said here

or deduce anything from what you have learnt to further your investigation.

To do so would put you in breach of the Official Secrets Act.

You may not tell anyone of what has happened here. Is that clear?

- Detective Superintendent Tennison? - Yes.

Yes, that�s clear.

- I had everyone here for eight. - Get Zigic produced.

We�re charging him with both murders.

Guv, I had a thought. The real Lukic lived in Manchester.

In four years, he must have seen a dentist.

I�ve been checking dental records.

No luck yet, but I�ve still got people getting back to me.

So...

- Are we going after him? - No.

No. Not on the evidence we�ve got. We�ll never secure a conviction.

Can we ask him who he thinks he is?

With all the other investigations we�ve got, requiring time and money, no.

We will secure a conviction against Zigic. Get him produced.

She�s been overruled?

Come on. Cheer up. It�s a success. Time to move on.

- Plenty of other cases. - Tick, tick, tick, tick...

Tick, tick, tick, tick...

Oh, come on!

I don�t know what to do.

Oh...

It�s a long time since I�ve heard that.

From what you�ve told me, you�ve done your bit.

It�s up to others now.

Oh...

That factory you went to...

where the two sisters

hid amongst the dead.

You know I drove an ambulance in the War...

- You did know that, didn�t you? - Yeah.

Well, we got an order to go to a place called Belsen.

The name didn�t mean anything.

We didn�t know what a concentration camp was.

We never knew they existed.

We got there...

the day it was liberated.

April 15th, 1945.

Just before we pitched up,

someone had seen a movement in this...

...mountain of skeletons.

They pulled a little girl out. She lived for a couple of hours.

So, we were given the orders to...

search through all the mountains,

in case there were others.

Later on, they put a figure on it.

10,000 unburied corpses.

Well, we were ambulance men.

We were used to death, but...

I say skeletons...

...but they weren�t just bones.

They were men,

women,

children...

They were being... starved,

gassed...

And because the incinerators hadn�t been working...

...they were piled up like rubbish.

We didn�t find anything.

We didn�t find anyone.

I think that little girl must have crawled in,

looking for somewhere to hide or...

...somewhere quiet, so she could die in peace.

You know...

up until about the age of 12...

...you were an �ngel.

You�d light up a room.

And then bang! Overnight, you were a teenager.

You ran us ragged.

And it got worse.

Anti-this, anti-that. So certain, so bloody-minded.

You couldn�t leave anything alone. You terrified me!

But you know what?

God knows, I did admire you.

I was so proud.

You had convictions.

Well, I buried mine at that camp.

When I came home, all I wanted was your mother, a steady job...

...children and nothing to do...

...with the evil I saw at that camp.

But...

...here you are, having to deal with it again.

But you will.

You will.

You know what�s right...

and you�ll do it.

Thanks, Dad.

I know what I�m doing. I just don�t know why I�m doing it.

Good morning, sir. I�m DS Alun Simms.

I�d like you to come with me to a police station to answer some questions.

Questions about what?

It will be explained to you, sir.

You know something? I don�t want to go.

Dragan Jankovic, I�m arresting you on suspici�n of the murder of Samira Blekic.

This is absolute nonsense.

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

This, madam, is a warrant, which entitles us to search these premises.

What about my daughters? I have two small children.

I have to pick them up from school.

Social Services can take care of them...

or you can arrange for a friend or relative to look after them.

I�m sorry. Totally out of the question. Totally.

Susan. Elizabeth Lukic, I�m arresting you...

on suspici�n of perverting the course of justice.

Superintendent, how are you?

- For thne bernefit of thne video - What�s going on?

She changed her mind.

Do you think that Hall knows about this?

Good question.

Press that button and ask her.

Good morning, Mr Jankovic.

I must insist that you call my client by his correct name.

Lukic.

- Jankovic is not his name. - Well, I believe it is.

For the record, I�m showing the suspect a document.

It�s the names of the students who studied ophthalmology...

in the University of Krazinac in 1987.

The names I�d like him particularly to note are Dragan Jankovic and Milan Lukic.

I have a written statement from a witness

who will confirm the suspect�s identity as Dragan Jankovic,

not Milan Lukic.

He goes under an assumed identity.

For the record,

the witness�s statement is incorrect.

My name is Milan Lukic.

As I have told you,

I have been vetted by the Metropolitan Police for work as an interpreter.

Yes. Perhaps they didn�t do a very good job.

You�ll have to take that up with them.

I believe some fairly senior officers were involved.

For the video, I am showing Mr Jankovic

a photographic record of the bodies of 26 men.

I believe he gave the order for these men to be executed.

My client has not been arrested in connection with these alleged crimes.

These questions are irrelevant.

They are relevants because I believe the murders under investigation...

were carried out to cover up this massacre.

Ridiculous!

We have a witness who says that you were the leader of a paramilitary unit.

I went home to look after my father.

I was drafted into the Army.

I was not in the paramilitary.

Well, why don�t you tell me about your war?

Did you kill?

Yes.

Once? Twice?

M ee?

Many times.

And did you kill women and children?

We all did.

Civilians get caught up in wars.

I believe we were all responsible for many deaths, in one way or another.

Did you...

ever strangle anyone?

Superintendent, I really must insist...

Yes.

And was that a man or a woman?

A young man.

A night-time operation.

I spent the rest of the night lying next to him in the trench.

It was a very cold, long night.

The reality of war.

Did you ever write about your experiences?

You�ve done your research.

My poetry.

Guilty as charged.

Oh... So sorry to keep you waiting.

I need to get home to my children.

Oh, yes, yes. Of course you do.

I do understand.

We�ve discovered that your husband is living under an assumed identity.

His real name is Dragan Jankovic.

I understand, it�s a shock. You won�t want to believe it.

We will be able to verify his identity in court.

You have been the victim of a very cruel fraud.

Your husband is not who he says he is.

I know exactly who my husband is.

I don�t think you do.

He�s a brutal, sadistic man, who committed atrocities in Bosnia,

including the rape of a 12-year-old girl,

who he subsequently murdered four weeks ago.

I think it�s best to let you absorb this.

I�ll... I�ll leave you for a while.

- No, I need to get home to my children. - Look and learn, children.

- Look and learn. - I have to get back to my children.

Saturday 20th, you were at the Boston Hotel with Sarah Ford.

Yes.

You arrived at 9:30 and we know you left at 11:45.

Where did you go after that?

Back to work.

And what route did you take?

I walked to the underground station.

Passing the back entrance of the Radcliffe Court Hotel?

That is the hotel where Samira Blekic worked.

She would have been walking towards you on her way to work between 11:45 and noon.

I do wish you�d wear the glasses I prescribed.

Eye strain can lead to headaches.

Create all sorts of serious problems.

You failed to complete your ophthalmic training, Mr Jankovic.

You are not a qualified optician.

Not true.

And I didn�t hear any complaints from you.

You set up your business with your wife�s money, didn�t you?

She is my business partner.

Was your business partner aware of what you were up to on that Saturday morning?

Not very good for business, is it?

- The relevance of this is... - The sense of power that must have given you.

To make people stand in a line and then walk down the line,

making them shake hands with you,

smiling, being charming.

Deciding who would die and who might live for just a little bit longer.

Very difficult to go back to your boring little life...

as an optician in North London after that.

I object to your attempts to humiliate my client!

Oh, no. This goes to the very heart of who Mr Jankovic is.

The war gave him a chance to be everything that he is truly capable of being.

All the normal rules and social constraints were gone.

That must have been a terrible shock that morning,

to see that younger sister walking towards you.

I mean, you�d given orders that she should be killed.

But then maybe, maybe a sense of excitement.

The chance to experience that power again.

I�m an approved police interpreter,

helping both my community and the police.

And this is how I am treated.

I understand. I am a foreigner.

And I have to live with all the suspici�n and prejudice that goes with that.

But I will take my complaints to the highest police authority.

The very highest.

And I will pursue every officier who has been involved

in this unfounded attack on myself and my family.

Hall.

Yup.

No, you did absolutely the right thing.

Yeah.

Jesus Christ!

Do you trust your husband, Mrs Lukic?

Lmplicitly.

Then would you mind telling me what he was doing on the morning of Saturday 20th May?

He was at work.

Do you know a woman called Sarah Ford?

She was with your husband on that Saturday morning.

The Boston Hotel, Hyde Park,

between 9:30 and 11:45 in the morning.

I mean...

do you really trust him to tell you the truth?

Oh...

Come on. You�re holding onto something that you know is slipping away.

He�s lied to you again and again and again.

You�re innocent.

Just tell us the truth.

What time did your husband really come home?

What happened to his clothes? Did he shower?

How did he destroy them? You know the answers to these questions.

Your husband is in a room answering the same questions.

If he tells us the truth before you do, then you are going to prison for a very long time.

Chief Superintendent Lawrence Hall has entered the room.

What?

He has handed me a note.

I am terminating this interview. The time is 14:46. Thank you, Mrs Lukic.

If I went into court only with that confessi�n,

which I know is partly untrue, I�d risk everything.

I have to establish the truth.

This wasn�t evidence against Zigic.

You were going after Lukic.

It�s as if our meeting never took place!

I thought it never did take place.

I was very careful not to use any information that I learnt at that meeting.

Why, Jane?

Because those two sisters came to this country believing it to be safe.

They thought it was a country

where decisions about who went free and who did not

were decided in open court, not behind closed doors.

What about the bigger fish that Lukic can help us bring in?

Well, maybe turning a blind eye

to torture and murder

will bring about bigger, better arrests.

I don�t know. I have no control over that.

All I can do is deal with what�s in front of me.

Did it ever cross your mind you might be wrong?

Yes.

You�re off this investigation. Take a week�s leave.

God knows what the consequences of this will be. Come in.

Superintendent Tennison is stepping down.

She�s taking a week�s leave for personal reasons. I want you to take over.

Er... Yes, sir. Erm...

I�m actually pretty full-on with a river stabbing at the moment, sir.

Sir.

She will not communicate with you regarding this investigation. Understood?

Yes, sir.

I want Zigic�s CPS files for both murders submitted to me ASAP.

And er... what about the other suspect, sir?

There are none.

Thank you.

Madam. Sir.

So, what�s he trading with?

Information?

I didn�t tell you he was trading with anything.

Well, if you can�t touch him...

and you�re not allowed to tell me why you can�t touch him, he must be.

There�s no other reason.

If I could have shown them that he�d murdered, on British soil,

they would have dropped him.

- What? - I think you�re being naive.

They might not have wanted to look.

But if I�d shoved it down their throats, they�d have had no choice.

I cocked it up, Robert.

Twice.

Once in the interview room and again with the squad.

I didn�t...

bring them with me.

The way Hall walked in... He was tipped off.

Do you know by whom?

I can�t be certain.

How certain are you about Jankovic?

Put it this way, if I was on a jury presented with the evidence that I�ve got on him,

I�d let him walk free.

And he�s guilty.

It�s Samira and Jasmina�s funeral tomorrow.

I can�t be there.

Women aren�t allowed.

- Would you go for me? - Of course.

Tell Jasmina I�m sorry.

Hi. My name is Robert West.

I�m a friend of Inspector Tennison.

She asked me to represent her here today.

She sends her condolences.

I think we should take his fucking eyes out first.

- You fucked it up for me! - Kasim asked questions.

Intelligent, direct, honest questions. I wasn�t going to lie to him.

I told him what I�d found out. Nothing came from you.

I didn�t put him up to it. He came to his own conclusi�n.

He couldn�t find justice in this country.

Letting Zigic take the drop on his own and protecting Jankovic

was an insult to the two women he murdered.

How�s this going to help them?

I met a few ��Jankovics�� in Bosnia. But I met a lot more ��Kasims��.

Broken, stuck, no redress.

The only way he�d have some kind of peace, a life with a way forward,

was to feel that justice had been done.

What Kasim and his friends are doing to Jankovic now, is that justice?

Yes.

- Kasim doesn�t have murder in him. - What about the other men?

What you�ve set into motion goes against everything I believe in.

Everything I stand for!

I know.

Taff, I need a favour.

Yeah, we�re here now. Who am I meeting?

So, how�s it going?

What with?

With this case... the river disco stabbing.

We�ve got a few leads. I�m setting up a reconstruction.

Am I being set up here?

Taffy told me where I could find you. He doesn�t know why I�m here.

What�s happening with Jankovic?

We�re looking for him.

We know Kasim was involved.

We�ve got some tenuous info.

There�s a slim chance Kasim might try...

and ship him back to Bosnia for some sort of trial.

We�ve got his cigarette route through Dover covered.

The source thinks it�ll be in the next 24 hours.

If we get confirmation, we�ll move on it.

I think you were doing the right thing, going after Jankovic.

Well, someone in the squad doesn�t.

They won�t know we�ve met.

So, how�s his wife taking it?

Not good. Not good at all.

I made a mistake.

I thought I could crack her, but...

it was never going to happen.

She was the weak link.

Jankovic made her safe somehow and I think I know how,

but, of course, I can�t officially tell you.

I want another crack at her.

Simon, I need your help.

Thank you, ma�am.

- If I could be alone with her. - Yes.

Thanks.

Mrs Lukic,

I�ve... I�ve come to apologise to you

for the ordeal that I put you through.

- I have nothing to say to you. - Erm...

I�ve come to...

assure you that everything possible is being done to find your husband.

He was taken because of your accusations.

Are you satisfied?

Oh, God, no. Of course I�m not satisfied.

Your husband�s entitled to a fair trial, just like anyone else.

You�re still accusing him?

He is still wanted for questioning concerning two murders, yes.

Would you please leave my house? You�re not sorry about anything.

Oh, believe me, I am.

Actually...

I�ve seen a lot of cases like yours.

You�re not alone.

You�re in shock from discovering the truth about your husband.

At first, you cling on to this idea of who you thought he was, who you wanted him to be...

You have no idea about my husband.

No idea at all!

You know,

I came here on my own,

today, on purpose, so we could speak off the record.

Anything you say to me I can�t use.

You can deny it was ever said.

Please, Mrs Lukic, please, please.

Just give me two minutes, please.

Well, we are trained not to become personally involved,

but I do...

I just feel this overriding sense of responsibility...

to protect your two children from your husband.

You sanctimonious, meddling bitch!

You know nothing about my husband. Nothing at all.

I think I do, and I do understand something of the shame you must feel.

Shame? Shame?

You stupid, stupid woman!

I am proud of my husband.

He�s a man of principle.

He�s risked his life to bring war criminals to justice.

Do you know what moral conviction it takes to go against your own people,

friends, men who trust you,

to secure what you believe is right?

Oh...

Oh, my God.

Oh, I... I didn�t know.

My husband...

works for the British Government.

He is protected by the British Government.

Now get out of my fucking house!

- How�s it looking? - Good.

They wouldn�t know an operation�s going on until well down the line.

Latest intelligence is it�s still likely to be a white van,

but keep your eye out for anything.

Duscan, I�m not here to make you say anything.

Your commander Dragan Jankovic won�t be prosecuted.

Even if you tell the truth about him, it won�t make any difference.

But I...

I just wanted you to know who you were protecting.

Excuse me, love. Check this van for me again, please.

Away from the van, please.

- This is... - Step away from the van, please, sir.

No, no.

Get the dog away! There are shrouds in there! Burial shrouds!

Transit van! Pulling away from lane 55!

Back in the cars!

Get in the cars, chaps!

The white van. White transit van. All units now!

- In the cars! Quick, chaps! - Right.

Sorry about that, boy!

Come on, let�s go!

- Can you get out, please? - No, no.

Switch your engine off. Get out, please.

Quickly, get the driver! Quick! Move!

Whoa, whoa! Come on, come on, come on!

In the van, quick!

Nothing.

- Fuck. - Bollocks.

- You got a crowbar or something there, Taff? - Yeah.

- Hello, mate. - You got him?

Thank you. Thank you.

Do you know what moral conviction it takes to go against your own people,

friends, men who trust you, to secure what you believe is right?

My husband... works for the British Government.

He is protected by the British Government.

He tipped us off about where to find you.

He knew we�d come after you armed with guns.

He was hoping that we�d kill you.

And now he�s hoping that you�ll stay loyal to him.

Because loyalty is something you understand.

Don�t you, Duscan Zigic?

But not him.

And that�s the difference between you.

I�m going to destroy that tape. I was never here.

I never played it to you.

In my language...

it�s called a ��viadukt��.

A train that runs in the sky.

Hello, guv. You back?

Yeah.

OK. You keep the copies. I�ll take the original, OK?

Thank you.

Well done, Lorna, for following through with this...

Lukic dental ID.

- What does she want those for? - Dunno.

Here.

We met him off the plane. He was happy to see us. Grateful.

We were giving him a lift to London.

He was on his way to his new job.

A new life.

Jankovic told me he was a traitor.

And of course...

I believed him.

I�ll need to tell them first.

Tennison isn�t just going ahead?

Jesus Christ!

When will I know where you are? I�ll have to tell them something.

You�ll know when you get told. You do nothing, you say nothing.

Children don�t work like that.

They won�t accept you�ve just disappeared.

Mrs Lukic, as soon as your husband is settled, you�ll be able to join him.

But you won�t even tell me which country?

That�s them.

Hello again.

Oh, God!

Why don�t you just take care of these people?

Dragan Jankovic, I�m arresting you for the murder of the real Milan Lukic.

The murder occurred eight years ago.

There was a witness to the murder. The body was exhumed this morning

and is now being formally identified using dental records.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you don�t mention...

Put that knife down, sir.

- Let her go! - No! Milan, no!

Come on, sir. Put her down, please, sir.

Put the knife down, please, sir.

Put her down.

Hold it, lads. Hold it.

Put her down, please, sir.

Put her down.

The knife down. Put it down. Let her go.

Come on. Look around.

Put her down.

Put the knife down, please, sir.

You don�t have to say anything.

However, it may harm your defence if you don�t mention when questioned

something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

And you, madam, who might you be?

Don�t ask.

Why couldn�t you leave us alone?
