All language subtitles for DCI Banks S01E08 Cold Is the Grave - Part 2.DVDRip.NonHI.en.BBC

Are you there? Can you hear me?

- Yes, Annie.
- Rydell's been put on leave of absence.

Ron McLaughlin's
taking temporary charge,

and he wants a
word, first thing.

- Alan.
- Sir.

Ron. I've inherited Rydell's
post, not his attitude, okay?

So, the Charles McKay shooting.

We've got a surveillance
operation in process

- which I believe will yield a result.
- Good.

Keep your eye on the ball.

Can't be seen to be giving
priority to the Emily Rydell inquiry.

DS Cabbot emailed me late last night
with her initial thoughts on the case.

Very dedicated young
woman. I like that.

I think. Ah, here she is.

Sir.

Okay. Emily Rydell.

In the cubicle where she was found,
the door was locked from the inside,

which raises questions.

After she was beaten to death,
how did someone escape?

While no one heard anything?

The coroner's putting time
of death at around 10:00 p.m.

The club was nearly empty then.

We're trying to
trace Ruth Walker.

Who's she?

A friend of Emily's.

Emily had Ruth Walker's debit
card on her when she was found,

hence the initial
misidentification.

DCI Banks supplied us with
an address for her in London.

Superintendent Rydell asked you
to seek out his daughter in London?

That's correct.

It's not professionally
responsible

for a senior police officer
like you to be doing homers,

is it?

Chief Superintendent
Rydell asked...

Chief Super Rydell was wrong to
ask you, but you were wrong to accept.

Particularly when your unit
was involved in a Cat One inquiry.

Now, I trust your personal involvement
won't compromise this investigation?

No, sir.

I want twice-daily updates.

Sir.

Emily's. Found it under a seat.

She had Ruth Walker's
card in her makeup bag.

If Emily used her card, we
can trace her movements.

And since the card was
found at a crime scene,

we should be able to access Ruth
Walker's finances and movements.

- I'll go get a warrant.
- Thanks.

Is there anything else
you haven't told me?

- About what?
- You. Emily.

Rydell asked me to find his daughter.
I went to London, I brought her back.

Yesterday I met her for lunch
at the Midnight Bell Pub, 1:00.

Emily turned up around 1:20.

She left around 1:25. Okay?

Okay.

So, we're over
witness statements,

re-interviewing anyone
from the nightclub

who we think might have
seen something suspicious.

Suspects. Ruth Walker.

Now, London reports she hasn't been
seen at her flat since Thursday morning.

Now, there was bad blood
between Emily and Ruth Walker.

So why did Emily have Ruth
Walker's bank card on her

and how did it come
into her possession?

I guess we have to find Ruth
Walker to get to the bottom of that one.

Next.

Niall Gilbert. No previous.

Independent security consultant.
Ex-military, Special Forces.

Emily claimed to have
seen him yesterday in Leeds.

Suspect number three, Niall
Gilbert's employer, Barry Clough.

Now, you've all got copies
of the profile on Clough.

Emily was shacked up
with him in London briefly.

Now, it's my guess that Emily knew
something incriminating about him,

so he killed her or
he had her killed.

Who walks into a nightclub,
into the ladies' toilets,

beats someone to death in a locked
cubicle and walks out unnoticed?

The invisible man?

Forget the murder mystery
stuff! This happened!

Emily Rydell suffered a
traumatic and painful death.

Now, there is an explanation,

and we're going to find
out who's responsible

and we're going
to put them away!

Okay? Let's get to it.

Boss. Tony Grimes.
Surveillance and ARVs in place.

One for the team, DS Cabbot.

Big bowl of humble pie.

Thank you.

After further investigation,
we're fully satisfied

that you were not involved in the
unlawful killing of Charles McKay.

So you're free to go.

Okay. Thanks.

Sir?

Alan.

Shouldn't you be at
home with your family, sir?

The Emily Rydell case.

Do we have a cause of death?

You know I can't
discuss that, sir.

You seen this man hanging around
your house the last couple of days?

Maybe hanging around Emily?

When she got back from London,

did she mention someone
called Barry Clough?

No. Are these people
suspects? Was she murdered?

Please, Alan. I need to
know. Did somebody kill her?

I can't discuss that.

Rosalind seems to have left me.

I'm sorry to hear that, sir.

Emily was the
smiliest little baby.

She was always laughing.

You do anything for
your kids, don't you?

There's no limits.

Come inside.

I'll ring for a taxi.

In Position at Tony
Grimes’ lockup.

Here we go, taxi.

Eyes on target.
Repeat, eyes on target.

Entering storage facility.

Eyes on target, he's got
some sort of package.

Eyes on target. Target
exiting storage facility.

All units stand by.

Silver Mercedes appears
to be following target.

Tracking both vehicles.

MAST team, all units.
Target now on plot.

Target now on plot.

No sign of the silver Merc. Do
you think we've been compromised?

Uh-uh. We're still in business.

Target vehicle two
turning into courtyard,

target vehicle two
entering courtyard.

That's Niall Gilbert.

Now, we need to wait until he's
inside. We need them both together.

ARV on standby, wait
until subject is inside.

- Now!
- Strike! Strike!

All units, strike!

Listen, I were
going to return this.

It were Charlie's idea.
He made me do it.

He made me.

- Down on the floor, down on the floor!
- Get down, get down!

Keep looking at me!

- Room secure.
- Room secure.

Come on, mate.

You?

Me.

My money.

Won it on the horses.

Lots of small bets.

Tony's a mate.

Been looking after it for me.

Eh, Tony?

Get 'em processed.

Tony.

So, Niall Gilbert, is he in
town to kill Tony Grimes?

If he is, that makes
him the prime suspect

in the murder of Charlie
McKay. But he's also employed

by Emily Rydell's
ex-boyfriend, Barry Clough.

Whether Emily was the
victim of a random attack

or a motive-driven murder,

she knew something
incriminating about Barry Clough.

Is that it? Is that
the connection?

She knew Clough had
Charlie McKay executed?

Ken, still no weapon in
the Charlie McKay case?

No, boss.

All right.

We've got to make
these two talk.

You were here in Leeds the day
Emily Rydell was beaten to death.

She saw you.

A, I don't know
who Emily Rydell is.

And B, I was back in London.

Was Emily a threat?

Did she know who
killed Charlie McKay?

Who?

Last Wednesday night, when
Charlie McKay was murdered,

where were you?

I don't remember.

I get these blackouts, you see.

Post-traumatic stress disorder.

It's all in my military records.

You're good. You know the drill.

But your mate Tony,
he's an amateur.

It's just a matter
of time, Niall.

You and Charlie staged
the hijack of your van.

You took a couple of hefty
smacks in front of witnesses

to convince the cops and
criminals it was all genuine.

Then Charlie got killed.

And you wanted us to think
that it was you who'd killed him,

so we'd keep you in
custody to protect you

from the people you
and Charlie ripped off.

I'm right, aren't I?

This money you
and Charlie stole,

who does it belong to?

No, I... I can't.

Come on, Tony.

Twenty-five grand in here,
your share? 25 grand to Charlie?

That's a lot of money. Whose?

No, I-I-I can't. I...

All right, interview suspended,
10:14, for a comfort break.

All right, Tony, we're
off the record now.

Off camera.

So, whose money?

Tony!

Barry Clough.

Right.

Listen, it was stupid what me
and Charlie did, really stupid.

Trying to rip off Clough.

We need you to
go on record, Tony.

No, no way.

I'll point you in
the right direction

but I'm not testifying
against Clough. No chance.

Two people are dead
and we've got nothing.

We need you to talk.

We need you to be a
man and do the right thing.

Come on, Tony.
We'll keep you safe.

You didn't keep Charlie safe.

How did Clough know that
Charlie nicked his money, eh?

He's right.

The only people who knew
Charlie had hijacked the van were us.

Someone inside
this building leaked it.

Computer Crimes Unit.

Say nothing to anyone.
Report back directly to me.

Speak to you later.

- Yes?
- It's Rosalind.

What can I get you, sir?

Double espresso, please.

So is this where
you're staying now?

I had to get away from
Gerry, so I came here.

Who cares?

Sir.

It was you rather than your husband
who wanted me to look for Emily.

Why?

It was like he didn't want to
rock the boat or something.

I see.

Did Emily tell you anything
about what happened in London?

I thought she'd tell
me in her own time.

I didn't know she
had so little time left.

Did she tell her dad?

No, I don't think so.

She was different with
Gerry when she came back.

She was distant.

Look, it's not my place,
but maybe you shouldn't...

If I sober up, I'll die.

Some of the papers

are saying she
was beaten to death.

Rosalind.

Who killed her, Alan?

I have to go.

- DS Cabbot?
- Yeah.

So, here is the
Charles McKay case.

What do you want to know?

Right. I need the
details of everyone

who accessed the crime
report database on this case.

- Names, dates, times.
- Mmm-hmm.

Print out everything you've got.

Good stuff, Judy.

That's it.

Mr Clough.

DCI Banks, Yorkshire
Major Crimes Unit.

Welcome to Leeds.

Had a feeling you were a cop.

And if you're here
to talk about Misty...

Emily. Emily Rydell.

Whatever. Given you a
statement. I was in London all week.

Witnesses and everything.

Ditto Niall.

But we're not holding Niall on
suspicion of killing Emily Rydell.

We're holding Niall on
suspicion of killing Charlie McKay.

Mate of one of your
employees, Tony Grimes?

Your cash courier till his van
got hijacked by Charlie McKay,

who was subsequently executed.

Who was it told you it was
Charlie who ripped you off?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Did you know that Emily was the
daughter of a senior police officer?

She was Misty Martin to me.

Like I said, short
for Mysterious.

Beautiful

but disposable.

The wheels are
coming off, Barry.

Just a matter of time.

Well.

I'm so sorry about Emily.

But listen, Mum. I'm
here for you, okay?

Don't!

Okay.

It's okay.

I don't want you!

Mrs Rydell, stop that!

Get off her! I'm
calling the police.

Go away!

Go away!

Sir, we're keeping Ruth
Walker in for questioning.

She's given us an alibi for the
night of Emily Rydell's murder.

Queens Hotel bar all night.

All right. Check it out.

But even if it holds up,
she's still has to explain

her bank card at
the crime scene.

Well, that tells its
own story, boss.

She made a cash withdrawal
last Saturday afternoon.

Which places her in Leeds
on the day of the murder.

Ruth lived in Ripponden
for six months last year.

What, where Emily
went to school?

Also, background check.

Turns out Ruth used to work
in a bar owned by Barry Clough.

That, and Ruth doesn't want to
press charges against Mrs Rydell.

Quote, "My mum's been
through enough," unquote.

What?

You're Ruth Walker's mother?

Uh...

I gave her up for
adoption when I was 17.

I told her I didn't want
a relationship with her.

She's been stalking me.

Trying to destroy my family.

She's vicious, Alan.

Vicious and manipulative.
She is capable of anything.

You talked Emily into
moving to London?

Yes.

You introduced
Emily to Barry Clough?

Yeah.

- Did you tell Clough who she really was?
- Oh, yes.

Boss, I've got the printouts
from the Computer Crimes Unit.

- Is it bad?
- Yeah.

Oh, shit!

- Yes?
- Boss,

you're both needed at
Emily's postmortem. It's urgent.

Thanks.

I still don't see it.

Ruth Walker got into the
cubicle and beat Emily to death?

You don't see it because
Emily was not beaten to death.

Cause of death was asphyxiation,
caused by the paralysis

of the neural pathways
that control breathing.

All this trauma was caused by
violent contact with the surroundings.

The walls of the cubicle,
the cistern, the floor.

If you look here,

you can see that she
was thrashing around.

Violently and uncontrollably.

Some kind of fit?

- She's epileptic?
- No.

Toxicology and
chemical analysis confirm

that Emily Rydell died of a
seizure caused by poisoning.

Somebody adulterated
her cocaine with strychnine.

Strychnine. Difficult but
not impossible to get hold of.

Used in animal research
into anti-seizure drugs,

pest control products. Vets
administer as a stimulant,

sometimes used in alcoholism. Dr
Glendinning is compiling a full list.

Poisoning.

This wasn't some spontaneous
attack by a random madman.

It was a deliberate, pre-meditated,
motive-driven murder,

from a distance, which
nullifies any suspect's alibi.

I'm listening.

So we start again.

Suspects one and two,
Niall Gilbert and Barry Clough.

Emily knew something

that she shouldn't have
known about their operation,

so they took her out.

Suspect number
three, Ruth Walker.

We know she was in Leeds
on the day of the murder.

Did she meet with Emily
and spike her cocaine

as vengeance on the
mother who rejected her?

And now we have
a fourth suspect.

Chief Superintendent
Gerald Rydell.

Go on.

Barry Clough was
using Emily as leverage,

blackmailing, bleeding
Rydell for information.

- You got hard evidence on that?
- Yes.

Rydell's electronic footprint.

This was what Emily knew.

This was Barry
Clough's little secret,

that he was involved in a criminal
conspiracy with a senior police officer,

Emily's father.

The dates. It starts
three months ago,

about the same time that Ruth
Walker introduced Emily to Barry Clough.

Rydell had the motive
and he had the opportunity.

We can't ignore this.

We're already holding Niall
Gilbert and Ruth Walker.

First thing, I want Barry Clough
brought in for questioning.

And Rydell.

Okay. Bright and
early tomorrow morning,

fully briefed, with
all our plans in place,

we're going to blitz the lot of
them until somebody cracks.

- Lot at stake here, Alan.
- I'm not enjoying this, sir.

Alan.

- I'll get them over to you.
- Yeah.

We've got a lot of issues
to sort out here, Gerry.

So we'd appreciate
your full cooperation.

Absolutely, Ron.

I want to put this whole nonsense
to bed as much as you do.

Copies of our intelligence
database going back three months.

As you well know,

we led a series of well-planned,
intelligence-led drug bust operations

which resulted in no arrests,
no illegal substances, nothing.

Why?

Because someone informed
the dealers that we were coming.

You left footprints, sir.

I do have level three access.

Unusual for a Chief Super to be
surfing the Intelligence database.

Performance indicators
were worrying me.

Drug arrests had dropped
by 31% year on year,

prosecutions by 35%, I
wanted to find out why.

The van hijacking.

How did Barry Clough know that it
was Charlie McKay who robbed him?

Because you accessed the
crime report which clearly stated

that the fingerprints
that were lifted

from the hijacked van
belonged to Charlie McKay.

Fourteen hours later,
he was executed.

I'm senior management.

I like to keep a check
on my subordinates.

Emily Rydell... Emily Rydell...

I don't know anyone
called Emily Rydell.

You were introduced
to her by Ruth Walker.

Who?

She told you who
Emily really was.

We had a fling, short
but sweet. That's it.

And I'll say it again, I was
in London all last week.

What do you mean, my alibi
doesn't count? I didn't do this.

You've got a lot of
explaining to do, Ruth.

What was your bank
card doing in there?

Well, Emily stole it.

No, no. Look.

Look, that's my makeup bag.

And my bank card was in there.

What? What is it?

Okay, Ruth. I need
an honest answer here.

The cocaine Emily was using, it
was yours, she stole it from you?

We're going to need
that verbally, Ruth.

Yes.

Emily or Misty or whatever

could've been carrying the
coke around for weeks, months.

Anyone could have
spiked her coke at any time.

So unless you can actually find
my fingerprints on the strychnine,

you're going nowhere
with this and you know it.

And you're running out of time.

Last week, when Emily
was returned home,

when you brought her home,

did you know she was in danger?

Because if you did, you
should have warned me.

I did try to warn you!

- I could have done something about it.
- You didn't want to know.

You'd got Emily back and you
wanted to bury the whole thing

because you didn't want to
rock the boat with Barry Clough.

You're becoming emotional, Alan.

Last Saturday,

did you know that Emily had
cocaine in her makeup bag?

Cocaine that was
adulterated with strychnine?

You think...

I'm here because you
think I killed my child?

Emily knew about your
relationship with Clough.

She didn't want to tell me about it
because she wanted to protect you.

- Because she loved you!
- I loved her.

Oh, I know. You'd do
anything for her, wouldn't you?

No limits, eh?

But Clough played on that.

You didn't want your little girl
being dragged into his world,

topless pictures that
turned your stomach.

And then what, porn?
God knows what else!

So, to protect your daughter, you
started to feed Clough information,

including the name of the man
who robbed him, Charlie McKay.

And that's the
undisputed truth, isn't it?

DCI Banks has always envied
me, undermined me at every turn.

I asked him to do a
favour for me, in good faith.

And he uses it as an opportunity
to attack me and my family.

- This is bollocks!
- Emotional again, Alan.

My daughter is a murder victim.

With this man leading
the inquiry into her death,

I don't see how myself or my
wife will ever get justice or closure.

Doesn't look good, Ron.

Wouldn't happen on my watch.

- Where's your conscience?
- Where's yours?

I saw how Emily kissed you.

You were having sexual
relations with her, weren't you?

Is that the best
that you've got?

Outside.

He's trying to derail
this investigation,

destroy my credibility
as a witness.

Sexual relations
with his daughter?

What's he talking about?

- Well, sir...
- The Metropole.

I just took a call from DI
Richard Brownlow, London.

The Metropole Hotel,
Bloomsbury, London. Last Thursday.

The night porter remembers you.

And he also remembers Emily
Rydell spending the night in your room.

I'd just rescued Emily
from Barry Clough's,

he was threatening her.

The kid was paralytic.

She had nowhere else to go.

Get yourself off the premises.

She was calling you Daddy.

As a wind-up.

I did not sleep
with Emily Rydell.

Are you sure? Maybe she
was going to grass you up.

That's why you killed her. It's a
reasonable assumption to make.

You'd be making the same assumption
if you were in my shoes, wouldn't you?

You're the benchmark
here, Alan. I look up to you.

This makes you no better
than me or anyone else.

Alan!

DCI Banks' behaviour has clearly
compromised this whole inquiry.

I wouldn't go that far.

You have no hard
evidence of direct contact

between Barry Clough and myself.

You have no hard
evidence to support

this sick idea that I
murdered my child.

I'm ready to go home, Ron.

Rosalind.

I need the keys to your house.

Why?

Because I think...

There is no easy
way to say this.

I think that your husband
may have killed Emily.

Gerry?

- How?
- Strychnine poisoning.

Strychnine?

The rat poison at your house.

I think he may have spiked
Emily's cocaine with it.

Oh, God.

Rosalind?

It...

It was Ruth.

She...

She was telling me
what she'd done to Emily,

how she wouldn't stop until
she's destroyed my family.

What are you trying to say?

The day Emily died,

Ruth came to the house.

She was haunting me

and stalking me. She
was never going to stop.

She kept telling me
about Emily's coke problem

and how she'd
got her into it and...

Oh, God!

Take your time.

She went to the toilet

and it was right there in front of
me and the rat stuff was there and...

and I was angry.

And I mixed the rat
poison with Ruth's cocaine.

I just meant to make her sick.

I didn't... I didn't
think it could kill.

Alan, please!

Please tell me that I didn't...

Please tell me I didn't.

Oh, God!

No!

She was... She was my baby.

Alan, please... Please, Alan...

Tell me I didn't.

I'm sorry. I can't help you.

Rosalind?

Well, talk about justice.

You set out to kill the
daughter you reject

and you end up killing
the daughter you love.

Well, you pay for your sins, eh?

- It isn't funny.
- Oh, it is.

It is pretty fucking funny.

This isn't funny!

Because you wanted
revenge on Rosalind,

because you lured
Emily to London,

because you introduced
her to Barry Clough,

Because you rubbed Rosalind's
nose in it, this happened!

You lit the fuse, sat back,
watched the bomb go off.

Not funny, Ruth!

Mr Rydell? Mr Rydell?

Mr Rydell?

Sir!

Mr Rydell?

Did he leave a note?

Full confession.

Admits he was
blackmailed by Barry Clough,

admits he was part of the
conspiracy to kill Charlie McKay.

Enough to arrest Clough?
Enough to arrest Niall Gilbert?

He left tapes. All his
calls to Barry Clough.

We've got them both.

- Good.
- "The undisputed truth."

What?

That's what he said at
the end of his confession.

"This is the undisputed truth."

You okay?

No good, no evil,

just a bunch of men and
women getting in a mess.

How do you clear it up
when you're part of the mess?

That night at the hotel with Emily,
I know you didn't sleep with her.

You probably sat up all night
listening to your crappy jazz music.

But I couldn't bury it.

Do you know why?

Because if I did, I'd
be letting you down.

You're still my benchmark.

You always will be.
