Don't get me wrong, King's Cross
could be hell on earth.

How do you mean?

It was a place of extremes.

You know, I can remember one night

a runaway gave birth
right on the platform,

and then an hour later,
a man was stabbed to death

behind the coalhouse.
It was a madhouse!

But there was community.

All of life was here.

Almost sounds like you miss it.

Hmm.

What happened?

Oh. Um...

Despite being a model
of Victorian build quality,

the structure suffers from subsidence,

not helped by decades of construction

and track reverberation.

Plus, there's a deep warren
of passages,

tunnels, shafts under our feet...

- Nikki Alexander.
- Jack Hodgson.

DI Steve Tudor.

Right. Um... Layouts,

hard hats...

...and, if you have them,
steel-toe-capped boots.

No. Me neither.

Used to be the Railway Tavern.

Dates back to the 19th century.

- Survived the big refurb?
- Oh, yeah, it's listed.

Do you know the patch?

Yeah. King's Cross was my beat
for years.

First in uniform,
then in plain clothes.

If memory serves, this was
variously used as a storeroom,

as a shelter for rough sleepers,

and somewhere the more resourceful
sex workers brought their punters.

Thanks.

It's an old hatch.

Someone sealed it over.

Cool and dry - perfect for a cellar.

And for stalling decomposition.

Presents as male.

Massive injuries
to the top of the skull.

Fall?

No obvious signs of blood
in the surrounding area.

No ID. Some sort of fob.

Got blood here.

What is that?

Hmm.

Some kind of handcart, I think.

Maybe he was thrown down
through the hatch?

I've got more blood in here, Nikki.
On a mattress.

I've got red-orange dust
embedded in the skull.

Brick?

Yep. Maybe.

Hair all over the mattress.

Can of Mace.

Manufactured in Illinois.

Nikki?

Looks new, the padlock.

Newer than the door anyway.

How many?

Six, I think.

Maybe seven.

Eight.

We need to take control now.

We're not just smack
in the middle of London,

we're in King's Cross Station.

If one photo of one body gets
posted online, we've failed.

So we start as we mean to go on.

Eight bodies, a challenging location...

I reckon we're in
mass disaster territory.

DVI protocol, the works.

I want to activate
an emergency mortuary -

that means a call to the coroner.

I'll make a similar call
to the Commissioner's office.

Somewhere, there will be a plan

for dealing with something
like this. Might even work.

I'll get the area secured.
No-one in or out without authority.

I want a moat.
Inner and outer cordons,

signed in and out at both.

If the Commissioner agrees with us,
he'll throw in a drawbridge.

Nikki Alexander, lead pathologist.

Jack Hodgson, crime scene manager.

Gabriel Folukoya, pathologist and
director of the Lyell Centre.

Malcolm Jones,
former station coordinator

and curator of the King's Cross Museum.

DI Steve Tudor. That's it.

Chief Superintendent Sheila Court,

Senior Investigating Officer.

This Gold Group meeting
is officially open.

For the avoidance of doubt, mass
disaster status has been designated.

My priority is to secure the
integrity of the forensic

and pathology investigation,
so whatever you need.

Right. Well, to ensure
that integrity,

I'd like to set up an emergency
mortuary here at the station.

Fine with me.

We haven't had a chance to discuss
it, but in principle it's OK.

My main concern is cross-contamination.

We can collect trace evidence
material at the scene

before the bodies are moved.

It's a bit unorthodox, but this is
the part we can't repeat or revisit.

Agreed. All that makes sense.

We'll need secure access,

running water, power and lighting.

The temperature will ideally
be adjustable

and ventilation sufficient.

Couple of options come to mind.

We'll also need adequate storage space

for the securing of the human remains,

evidence and property.

OK. With eight bodies,
I imagine you'll want

to spread the load,
bring in more pathologists?

Actually, no.

In the Shipman case, all the PMs
were done by the same pathologist.

And it's my view that, from a
continuity-of-evidence perspective,

you want one set of eyes
on all the bodies.

And I'll be working alongside
Gabriel to speed up the process.

OK. Whoever did this has got away
with it for ten years plus.

They've had a free pass.
Not any more.

Somewhere in that basement's a clue
that's going to unmask this person

and bring them to justice.
We can't miss it.

Sorry if I overstepped
the mark just now.

Would've been good to discuss,
but... all fine.

- We can do eight bodies.
- We can.

But if we make one mistake,
drop one ball,

the wisdom of the decision
will be questioned,

and rightly so.

Got a candidate for the mortuary.

Despite the face-lift,
the station is still associated

with a high number of missing persons.

My focus is on the two years

prior to the building's renovation
in June '09,

prioritising medium and high-risk cases

in which CID got involved.

If this isn't suitable,
we have options.

Power points, pipework,
heat sources all listed.

- Thank you, Malcolm.
- Thanks.

Divide and rule?

I kit this place out,
you return to the coalface?

Agreed.

Can we clear this area, please?

Consider it done.

I want to get this body out now,

keep him separate and do his
postmortem first.

That makes sense.
We have a hoist en route.

We treat that room
as a separate crime scene.

Before we go in there
or touch anything,

we map and photograph
the bodies' positions.

From the way they're positioned
and other factors,

our working theory is that the
bodies at the back were left first.

So the furthest body
we're calling Body 1.

And the one nearest the door Body 7?

Exactly.

Operating a last-in,
first-out methodology,

we'll now begin removing these bodies.

Body 7 presents as male.

His throat appears to have been cut.

He's wearing what looks
like a yellow-metal ring

on his wedding finger.

He's wearing a tracksuit

and... Nike trainers.

- There we go.
- Good.

Body 6 also presents as male.

There's a gag in his mouth.

And rope around his neck.

Hands are tied with rope too.

Which extends up his back...

...encircling his neck in a noose.

What is that about?

Body 5 wears a polyester top

with some sort of emblem.

A football shirt maybe.

Body 4 presents as female,

shoulder-length auburn hair.

She's wearing jewellery -
earrings, necklace.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Does that include a gold chain necklace

with a four-leaf clover pendant?

Yes, it does.

All right. The necklace was
listed as identifying property

belonging to the American
tourist Judy Holmes.

I mean, obviously,
it's a secondary identifier

but height, hair colour,
they all fit, too, so...

In all likelihood, we've identified
our first victim.

What else do we know about Judy?

Um... Her bag was found
in bushes by the Regent's Canal

half a mile away. CID pulled out all
the stops, dragging the canal.

Their thinking was it was
a mugging gone bad.

I retrieved a can of Mace
manufactured in Illinois.

Take it we have her prints and DNA?

It's all logged in the misper report
and on the missing persons database.

And lift.

Body 3 has a reddish-grey beard...

...and is wearing what looks
like a military coat...

...which is caked with blood.

Hair colouring's a visual match

to hairs I recovered
on the mattress back there.

DNA'I confirm.

So was this bloke sleeping rough
down here when he was killed?

Turf war?

Body 2 has been left on top of Body 1.

Some green material
is draped across both bodies.

Body 2 presents as male.

Cropped, peroxided blond hair.

Evidence of multiple
stab wounds to the chest.

Body 1 presents as male.

As with Body 2, there's evidence of
stab wounds to the chest

and torso...

...in even greater number.

Tattoo...

...and multiple hoop earrings.

Could help with an ID.

What do you think
we're looking at here?

A killer or killers

of exceptional brutality

who learned on the job and evolved...

...fast.

We need you to hold the fort here,
start the processing.

There's going to be a lot of it,
and this is just the beginning.

You up to the challenge?

Yeah. Of course.

Good.

Get anywhere with the fob
from Victim 8's jeans?

At first, it defeated me,
to be honest, but...

- You tried florescence?
- Yes. Great minds.

Here, bottom right.

"Mandrake Systems."

I've just called them.

Very cooperative. And their
chief engineer is on the way.

Nice.

It's really bad, then?

Yeah.

Well, we're here.

I know. Thanks.

We're going to get names for them all.

No numbers.

Great job.

Gives the Lyell a run for its money.

Cats are out of bags.

I'm here at King's Cross Museum,

that lies just behind
the station itself,

where we're getting unconfirmed reports

that a mass grave has been discovered,

and there's already
a crowd of curious onlookers

growing at the entrance.

It's as yet unclear how many
bodies have been uncovered,

but police and forensics
have arrived at the scene

and will be working hard to identify
the bodies as soon as possible.

We'll do the postmortem on Body 8 now,

then carry out
the remaining seven tomorrow.

The fob recovered from
Body 8 is an entry key.

It accessed Halford Court,
block of flats in Dalston,

no earlier than March '09,

no later than October '10,
when upgraded fobs were issued.

Great. We have
the beginnings of a time frame.

I cut out the middleman and spoke
to the lads on the maintenance crew.

By "middleman",
do you mean Malcolm Jones?

I have a timeline of the whole
development from 2007 to 2010.

With a focus on the Tavern, I hope?

Yeah. That was a late refurb,
August '09.

Reading between the lines,
it was a rushed job.

And now we have a window
when Body 8 was killed -

March 2009 till August 2009.

And it's likely he was killed
after the seven victims

recovered from the basement.

So they were killed prior to mid-2009?

When the station was undergoing
an intense period

- of rebuilding.
- This is a bloody time bomb.

A serial killer was on the loose.
Not only did we fail to catch him,

we didn't even know he existed.

All the police top brass
from '09 must have gone by now.

Well, there'll be a shitstorm of
criticism boiling down

to one question - how did he get
away with it on our watch?

How do we get ahead of that?

By getting, and keeping,
the public onside.

To that end, I'm holding
a press conference tonight.

I'd like one of you to be present.

Gabriel.

OK, you get over to that
building block in Dalston,

start knocking on doors. I've got
you six detectives from London Wall.

Body 8 is male.

Analysis of his pubic symphysis
will give us an age range.

There is massive blunt-force trauma
to the crown of the skull,

which is partially staved in.

These multiple injuries
are the likely cause of death.

There is red dust
embedded in the fractures,

possibly brick dust.

Certainly, a brick wielded with force
would inflict those kinds of injuries.

- Any sign of the brick?
- Not yet.

There's a single wound to the forehead,

one of the more robust areas
of the skull.

Do we know what made these marks?

We think a handcart
being dropped on the body.

Fibres inside the tray
are a visual match

to the deceased's clothing.

We'll compare the blood to the
reference sample when we have it.

Suggests he was
probably transported in the cart.

From the murder scene to the Tavern?

Residue in the cart suggests it was
used for shifting bricks.

What, so the killer just throws
a tarpaulin over the body

and he's good to go?

In the end, there were 37
construction companies on site.

Someone in overalls pulling a cart
wouldn't get a second glance.

So maybe the killer was a builder?
Even better camouflage.

Did a good job cementing up the hatch.

Yet we don't know that was him.

We don't, but the victim's
jeans and shirt were spattered

with dried cement.

Maybe they were both builders.

There's metal debris
embedded in his right eye.

That sort of injury is usually
associated with construction work.

He was treated significantly
differently to the others.

He wasn't placed in the cupboard,
and there was plenty of room.

Just thrown down through the hatch.

If they were builders, maybe they were
working together and things kicked off.

It's a long shot, but if we can
tie the brick in question

to a specific construction, it might
help ID the victim and the killer.

Thank you.

I need to relay all this to my team.

Thank you, everyone.
One at a time.

Chief Superintendent Court, is it fair to
say without this issue of the floor dropping,

these bodies would never
have been found?

Yes. That's a fair assessment.

So someone was murdering people
in one of our busiest stations

and the police had no idea?

At least one of the victims
was reported missing

and a full CID investigation
was launched.

"At least one"?
How many bodies have been found?

Eight.

We've recovered eight bodies so far.

You shouldn't be here, Mr Jones.

Malcolm, please.

Sorry. I just came
to retrieve my stuff.

You OK?

Not really.

The thought of them
mouldering away in the dark...

...unnoticed, unacknowledged...

...unmourned.

I'm sure they weren't unmourned.

No. No, of course not. Um...

I didn't mean...

It is hard to get your head around.

When was your tenure at the station?

2004 to 2010.

That's when you think
this happened, isn't it?

Sorry.

- Hello.
- This is Steve Tudor.

I followed up on the entry fob
to Halford Court

and might have found
an ex-partner of Body 8.

Tentative ID is a Kacper Tadych,

- a Polish national.
- Great.

Partner's name is Anna Gorska,
and she may have questions

you're better placed to answer than me.

I have some photographs

of the deceased's clothes,
the remains of them.

Could I show them to you, Anna?

To see if you recognise them
as Kacper's?

That's Kacper's belt.

Thank you.

Would he have...?

Did he suffer?

Judging by the pathology evidence,

I'd say it's likely that death
was close to instantaneous...

...but I can't be certain.

Of course, yeah.

Could you tell us a bit about
your relationship with Kacper?

We dated in high school in Poland.

He was two years younger.

I called him my toy boy.

We broke up when I went to university,
and then I got a job here in London.

Doing what, if you
don't mind me asking?

Marketing manager,
pharmaceuticals mainly.

Um...

One day, Kacper just showed up.

He worked as a builder
and he heard I'd moved here.

We picked up where we left off.

It was a very special time...

...like a miracle.

It didn't last?

No. He...

He had an eye injury at work.

It gave him headaches and...

...he'd get angry
without any warning.

Um...

...one day Kacper woke up with
a bigger hangover than normal.

He was late, and angry,
and it was all my fault.

We had a proper screaming match.

And he stormed out.

I never saw him again.

Did he ever mention someone
at work he didn't like?

Who got on his nerves?

What about the building firm
he worked for?

No. He'd just... He'd wait on
a corner of a street at 6am,

and sometimes he would get work,
sometimes he wouldn't.

We'd like confirm Kacper's
identity via DNA if possible.

Did you manage
to find anything that...?

Um...

I threw out the stuff
he left years ago.

But I do have something.

Kacper loved this.

He read it over and over again.

Thank you.

I appreciate that. I know
you've had a long day.

Or are you a glutton
for punishment like me?

Ha. Maybe. A bit.

I feel bad for her.

She'll be thinking,
"What if, what if...

"What if we hadn't rowed that morning?

"What if I'd held out
an olive branch?"

I know I would.

Steve Tudor.

Thank you.

DNA confirms it -
Body 4 is Judy Holmes.

Ted Holmes.

Ted, my name is
Detective Inspector Steve Tudor

from Greater London Police...

Have you found her?
Have you found Judy?

Yes. Yes, we have.

At the station? King's Cross?

Penny for them?

The victimology.

You asked.

Go on. I know you're dying
to tell me.

You'd expect to see something
of the killer in the victims,

or at the scene.

We've got eight and I can't
see anything. Can you?

Male, female, varied ethnicity...

Nothing at all.

It's all riding on the pathologist,
by the sounds of it.

My sister had been planning
that trip to Europe for years,

saving for it, talking about it,

all the places she was going to visit.

How could you just not know this guy
was doing what he was doing?

I don't know the answer to that yet,

but I promise you
I will keep in close touch

as the investigation progresses.

Um...

...Ted...

...did Judy ever carry a can
of Mace, as far as you know?

Yeah. Never went anywhere
without it.

I warned her it was illegal
to take it through UK Customs,

but...

...that was Judy.

She was my big sister

and she wouldn't be told.

You know the drill.

One, and then the other, all right?

It's too much. Just help me!

I can't do it, Russell.
I need help.

I'm just going to sit down.

- Russell!
- And then I'll do us some breakfast.

Come back and help me!

Russell!

Russell!

Help me!

...Cross Museum, where Greater
London Police have now confirmed

that a homicide investigation is
under way, following the discovery

of eight bodies
in a cellar beneath the museum.

Speaking at a press conference
last night,

Chief Superintendent
Sheila Court confirmed

that Greater London Police
were called to the museum

earlier this week
after construction workers

repairing damage to the museum's
floor uncovered...

An emergency mortuary
has been established

in King's Cross, and pathologists
from the Thomas Lyell Centre

are understood to be conducting
postmortem examinations.

While police have not released
the identity of any victims,

they have confirmed that
at least one was the subject

of a missing person investigation

and that next of kin
have been informed.

There's police work to formally
identify each victim...

Something tells me this is
going to be dinner, not lunch.

Yours looks nicer than mine.

OK, so firstly, I just want
to acknowledge

the marathon series of postmortems
you carried out today,

a truly Herculean task, and we're
all really appreciative.

But we need to know
who we're looking for.

We need to get him in focus.

So it would be helpful -
well, it's vital

to get a forensic pathology narrative

charting his evolution
across the eight murders.

Right. Well...

...the first killing was
a sustained attack.

Body 1 is male,

40 to 50 years old.

There's a shallow,
unhealed cut to his throat...

Wasn't fatal?

Unlikely. But the killer might have
expected it to be.

Instead, the victim fights back.

Maybe.

There's a flurry of unhealed wounds

to the chest that would
ultimately prove fatal.

And there's what looks like another
stab wound to the chest,

but this one's healed.

So likely sustained
some years before his death?

Months, I'd say. Weeks, even.

There are permanent internal sutures

where he's been stitched up,

and evidence of a fractured rib that
was in the process of healing.

Body 2 defended himself...

...before finally being
overpowered by the killer.

We see the same
sustained stabbing attack,

but the wounds are deeper, more
definite and fewer in number.

Body 2 was 20 to 30 years old.

He was placed on top of Body 1.

A large square of
dark-green quilted material

was then draped over both bodies.

There are healed linear
scars across the fingertips

- of his right hand.
- Knife wound?

Possibly.

Additionally, Body 2 bears
some defensive wounds -

slices across the forearms

and an unhealed broken nose.

So neither victim went
quietly into the good night?

No.

Body 3 is a little different.

50 to 60 years old.

He was stabbed in the back
multiple times

while lying face down on a mattress,
which we've recovered.

A surprise attack

certainly fits with the absence of
defensive wounds.

So, what, he was sleeping down there?

Possibly.

So maybe we're looking
at a territorial motive.

Victim 3's kipping in the basement,

the killer shows up and wants
the space for himself?

Doesn't that screw up our timeline?

If he's killed after Victims 1 and 2,

why hasn't he raised
the alarm about their bodies?

Good question.

Maybe Victim 3 was a partner in crime?

Or... he just shows up,

sees the mattress,
not the body, beds down?

The volume of his hairs on
the mattress argues against that.

Or... Victim 3 was killed first
and we're setting too much store

by where their bodies were left
in the cupboard?

It is an anomaly,

but inevitably at this stage,
one of many.

Body 4, Judy Holmes.

These wounds are consistent
with the tangential movement

of a sharp implement across the skin.

The depth and angle of the wounds
suggest that they were made

left to right, from behind,
by a right-handed assailant.

This wound breached the jugular vein
and the carotid artery,

suggesting that Judy's head
was drawn back

to expose the throat.

The vessels sit deeper
in the neck than people think,

so if you tilt the head back,

the sternocleidomastoid muscle
covers them up.

So if the killer expected
quick slice and down they go,

he got a big surprise?

Explaining the three
separate cuts to her neck.

The attack on Judy was very different.

For one, it's likely she was
abducted before she was killed.

Based on?

An unhealed dislocated shoulder

and green-painted splinters under
her fingernails

which are visually consistent with
a board fence by the old Tavern.

Yesterday you asked a good question.

How did the killer get away with it
in the middle of King's Cross?

- You have the answer?
- I have an answer.

The entire west side of the station
was rebuilt and remodelled

from 2007 to 2010.

This necessitated a network of
boarded passages across the station

so the public had access to the
trains and surrounding streets

whilst being shielded from the works.

Cooks Passage was the first
to be built, the longest,

running north-south
and emerging onto Cooks Way.

It had a total of 16 doors marked
"Authorised Personnel Only"

that let station staff and building
crews exit at whatever point

would bring them to their
behind-the-scenes destination.

The Tavern?

Yeah. One door...

...opened onto
the clutch of buildings

north of the western concourse

that, yes, included
the then-derelict Tavern.

But surely those doors
were kept locked.

Eventually, after a series of thefts
and trespassing incidents,

keypads were installed.

Hmm. CCTV?

Limited to the entrances
of the passages

and major intersections.

That footage will be long gone anyway.

Yeah.

In light of all this,
Judy Holmes was likely abducted

as she walked down Cooks Passage
late on a Sunday night.

Yeah. She'd got off a train
from Durham.

She was heading for
her hotel off Euston Road.

Significantly, none of
her jewellery was taken

and she was fully clothed.

So it's unlikely a financial or
sexual motive drove the killer.

So he was getting a taste
for killing for killing's sake?

Someone looks overwhelmed.

This is only half the trace evidence.

There's still so much more
from the basement.

A problem shared...

Right.

Body Number 6

was wearing an

Apollonia bumbag

and a cagoule.

Right?

Was that the victim with the noose
attached to his bound hands?

Yes. Him.

So, I've never heard of Apollonia,

which made me think,
like, small local brand

which might help us with a nationality,

which might help us
with a missing persons search.

No joy?

Just two hours looking at

the Greek equivalent to Companies House

and... their Board of Commerce.

Apollonia...

...was part of Ancient Greece.

But now I think...

...it's part of Albania.

Is it possible the company
was Albanian?

So our killer was getting
sharper all round.

He knew that Judy would be missed,

so he dumped her bag

by Regent's Canal.

He wanted to draw attention
away from the station.

I reckon he was sleeping

in the Tavern basement,
at least some of the time.

Unfortunately, the killer
now had a can of Mace

that he almost certainly
used on subsequent victims.

Body 5, our youngest victim yet.

Killed in a similar way to Judy.

Knife to the throat
but a single, deeper wound.

There's some trauma around the eyes

that could've been made by Mace.

We know from Judy Holmes' brother
she brought a can into the country.

I'll swab the skin for it.
Clothing too.

Notice the rip in his jacket?

Sleeves were stretched. All
the buttons were loose or missing.

So a struggle?

He's also missing his right trainer.

Once again, it suggests
resistance to abduction.

With Body 6, we see
a different mode of death.

His mouth was gagged,

hands bound with rope
that extends up his back,

forming a noose around his neck.

Taken in conjunction with the gag,

the bound hands and noose feel as
much about an attempt to control him

as to kill him.

If he tries to free himself,
the noose tightens.

All of which suggests the killer
chose to keep him alive

for a period of time.

Something else in there...

A denture, partially swallowed.

But why would he do that
six victims in?

Huh? Why do kids
tear the wings off flies?

Certain kids.

You've answered your own question.

Six victims in, he's now
sufficiently confident

to indulge his impulses,
curiosities, whatever.

They went full circle on Body 7 -

at 6'4", his biggest opponent yet,

killing him with a single cut
to the throat.

Unlike what we saw with Body 4,
Judy Holmes,

the ragged nature of this cut

suggests the head was tilted forward.

Which is in line
with military training.

Leaning the head forward
loosens the skin,

yielding a more ragged, lethal cut.

Are we saying this guy was in the Army?

Possible,

or just a DIY military fanboy
with a library card.

The wound also suggests
the use of a serrated blade,

something like a hunting knife.

In other words, the killer
perfected the art of killing

and on his biggest victim yet.

Maybe that's why he chose him.

A challenge? A sport?

How does the bludgeoning
of his final victim

fit his new expertise?
Another anomaly?

For the pathology evidence
and forensics,

we think that Kacper's murder
could have been unplanned

and heat of the moment.

Whether or not we're right about
the killer being a builder,

he had to know his days
in the Tavern were numbered.

And that became a stressor.

Yes. What was he going to do
with the bodies in the basement?

Excuse me a second.

I thought you might need...

Come on, then.

This is Velvy. He has some
information about Body 6.

Body 6. One with the noose.

- Good.
- Um, yes.

Through the discontinued Albanian
clothing brand Apollonia

worn by Body 6, we hazarded a guess
that he was also Albanian

and we ran a missing person search.

I believe his name is Elseid Broja.

Um...

A 25-year-old Albanian student

who went missing in London
in summer 2009.

Based on more than
a clothing brand, I hope?

Mm. One of Broja's
distinguishing features

was a partial denture -

three teeth.

We found just such a denture
in the throat of Body 6.

But what about our killer's DNA?

All these bodies, all this evidence,

he's got to have left it somewhere.

We've collected, and are collecting,

scores of DNA samples from the basement

and the victims' clothing,

all of which we'll run
against the database.

But?

But there's a strong
possibility he wore gloves.

Based on...?

The padlock.

He must have used it regularly,

but there's not a print on it.

Good job, lads.
Same time tomorrow.

Keith Pryor.

Hello, Keith. Russell Drake.

Hey, Russ.
How you doing, mate?

Surviving.

I know that you're doing OK,

so forgive me for not asking.

Can't complain, can't complain.

What can I do for you, Russell?

Well, I thought we might compare notes.

King's Cross.

Yeah. The bodies in that Tavern
likely killed between 2008 and 2010.

Sorry, Russ, the line's breaking up.

Why don't we talk in person?

No. No way.

I'm not stupid.

You come to me, then.

No, I'm going to the police.

Tell them what I should have
told them years ago.

Now, if that were true,

you would have done it already,
wouldn't you?

This sounds like a shake down,

like you want something from me.

Russell!

Russell!

Got to go, Russ?

Sounds like you're needed.

Russell!

No. OK.

Yeah, let's meet. But in
a public place of my choosing.

Oh, excuse me.

Can I help you?

Um, who should I speak to about
the King's Cross investigation?

I'm a nurse at the Royal Free.
I've just come off a double shift.

I caught the end...

You were at the press conference,
the pathologist.

Yes. Gabriel. Um...?

Esther. Esther Daniels.

My son Simon went missing in 2009,
aged 17.

Are any of the victims as young as 17?

Let's talk inside.

Well... When Simon was small,

he broke his leg
in two places skateboarding,

his right leg.

As a pathologist, you'd notice
something like that, right?

Thank you.

Simon's DNA is on file?

He's on the missing persons database?

I gave the police
his hairbrush in 2009.

In that case, we should have
confirmation by tomorrow.

When he went missing,

he'd been getting in trouble...

...dropping out of college,
on the fringes of a gang,

but...

...nothing too serious.

Looking back,

it was all an act of rebellion.

Against what?

I was pregnant and I'd just remarried.

No doubt he was feeling
a lot of jealousy.

So Simon didn't get on
with your new husband?

By spring 2009, he'd moved out.

It was only when his birthday
came round and he didn't call,

I knew something was wrong.

And that's when
you reported him missing?

A month later...

...they found Simon's bag
up in Holloway Woods.

It's a known spot for dealing.

It was like the police just
lost interest at that point.

If my son was killed in King's Cross,

half a mile from his front door...

...who took his bag
up to Holloway Woods?

My husband.

Probably wondering where I am.

I'm going to run you home, Esther.

Thank you.

The lab have been busy and we now
have DNA matches on three bodies.

Body 1 is or was -

Adam Perry, 52,

a convicted criminal who disappeared
in February 2008.

Body 5 is 17-year-old Simon Daniels.

I met his mother, Esther, last night.

She recognised me
from the press conference.

I submitted a brief account
of that meeting for the file.

Thank you.

Body 7 is a personal trainer
called Faisal Hosseini.

At the time of his disappearance,

he was about to enter
into a civil partnership

with his long-term boyfriend, Josh.

He'd taken a client for
a workout in Regent's Park

and was supposedly heading
back home on foot

to his flat in Angel when he vanished.

So we have provisional IDs
on six of the eight?

Just Bodies 2 and 3
remain unidentified?

Correct.

We suggest that the immediate
focus is Body 1, Adam Perry.

Why?

Well, Perry apparently had
a long record for assault

and procuring runaways
for sexual activity.

Ringing bells?

He was an animal.

Hospital records bear out
our pathology findings

with respect to the healed stab wound.

Adam Perry was admitted to A&E

with a suspected knife injury
on January 2nd 2008.

He was lucky to live.

These victims -
there's no pattern, is there?

No type he goes for?

No conventional victimology

that would hold a mirror up
to the offender?

If there is, all I'm seeing
in that mirror is a black hole.

There's more questions than answers.

Mrs Perry, I have
some general questions

about the period leading up
to Adam's disappearance.

Dr Alexander is a pathologist who
has some more specific questions.

Pathologist?

Yes.

I wanted to ask you about a knife
injury that your husband sustained

in the weeks prior to his murder.

I know who did this.

I know who did all of 'em.

He's...

He's a monster,

but only cos Adam made him one.

His name's Terry Bordell.

Russell!

Russell?

Russell!

Where are you?!

Russell!
