Dates of the murders.

Question is, where the hell were you?

- This is a wind-up, right... - Answer the question, Judith!

The killer was driving an SIU vehicle,

now everyone in the building's a suspect.

Have you checked the vehicle logs?

Been deleted.

Or perhaps you already knew that?

So, what,

you're gonna accuse everyone in the department

and hope that someone confesses?

Good luck with that.

Well, she's right.

All this'll do is let the killer know that we're onto him.

What, you got a better idea?

Yeah.

Yeah, we wait for Professor McAllister's profile.

Oh, Professor McAllister. What, you mean your girlfriend?

My relationship with her is irrelevant.

Oh, my relationship with her is irrelevant.

Is that why you lied about it, is it? Hmm?

What else you been lying about, Roy? For all I know...

You must see it.

I mean, he's being completely unreasonable.

Well, of course he's being unreasonable.

Why are you showing me this?

I wanted your opinion on his mental state.

In my professional opinion,

I think the man's an idiot.

He's hampering the investigation.

That's not fair, he's...

So, why are you showing me this?

Because I want your opinion.

Is he being reasonable or not?

- Well, I think... - Answer, no,

he isn't, thank you.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Oh right, so you can show the tape to your expert

but I can't show it to mine?

So, do you want my opinion?

- Yes. - No.

Yes, he is being unreasonable.

What me? No, I'm just trying to catch a murderer.

And you're a hell of a lot closer thanks to me.

Really?

Well right now, all's you're doing is dicking about.

Well you started it.

I didn't start it.

Oh, you didn't start it.

Oh, let's just go back on that...

I hope you're both ashamed of yourselves, the pair of you.

A cold-blooded killer in the heart of SIU

and all you can do is bicker like children.

Sorry, boss.

Thank God the killer hasn't seen this, that's all I can say.

What is it with you two?

Why is it that whenever I leave you alone together,

you start tearing each other to pieces?

The trial of former Police Commissioner,

Helen Chalmers continues.

We're expecting to hear from a key prosecution witness,

Detective Inspector John Major.

DI Major is the best cop in my unit.

If Heineken made Police Officers...

It's Carlsberg, boss.

You see, never misses a trick.

DI Major, any relation to

the corrupt officer, Clifford Major?

- Right, no more questions. - No, I'll answer the question.

My father made some mistakes

but I'm here today to put things right

and restore the family name.

So you're confident of a conviction?

Only an idiot would make an assumption like that.

But the champagne is on ice and the cake has been ordered.

No more questions. Come on, John.

Roy.

Look, sorry to bother you, I just wondered

if you had a few minutes to talk about the case?

Why are you calling me, is John not there?

No, well it's Chalmers trial today

so he's in court,

and Sarah's working on her profile, so...

Okay so, right, you're calling me

because you've got no one else to talk to.

You know, I'm sorry, things just

make more sense when I talk to you.

Everything does.

I mean, it was you that caught Cleasby

first time round, wasn't it?

And you were the first to suspect Clifford.

Well, I'm not a police officer, Roy, so...

Exactly,

you know, that's how I know I can trust you.

Let me just talk you through it.

You might see a connection that we've missed.

Detective Inspector Major.

Good morning. Ooh, uh...

Hello.

You are something of a celebrity I believe,

known as the man who caught The Juggler.

It was a team effort,

I merely did most of the work.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

How long have you known the defendant?

Nearly 20 years.

In what position?

A variety of different positions.

Though she remained on top?

Yes, until I began to suspect she was dirty.

Thus aroused, I set about exploring all channels

to see how far she was prepared to go.

And you continued probing until things reached a climax?

A series of climaxes, yes.

So it would be fair to say

you have a history with the defendant.

Detective Inspector Major,

is it true you've visited the defendant in prison,

outside of due process, and on more than one occasion?

I've... um, we've...

So, what, are you saying

the killer leaves a clue to the next victim?

Yeah, uh, he likes messing with us,

showing us that he's one step ahead.

Well, what's the most recent thing he's left?

Yeah, a scarf.

Well what sort of scarf? Man's scarf? Woman's scarf?

- What sort of scarf? - Well it's a...

Roy?

I finished the report.

Roy?

Complete profile of the killer, this is him.

Oh, wow, that's amazing. Nice one.

Are you there?

Uh, thanks for that, Kel, you've really helped me out.

Yeah, you've got me thinking, um, uh, yeah, no,

I'm sorry, I've really gotta go. Okay. Thanks. Bye.

Bye, Roy.

Good to chat.

Right, so go on.

Where's DI Major?

Uh, he's, he's in court.

Okay. Um, I'd rather wait 'til he got back.

Why? You're the one who's always saying

we'd be better off without him.

Uh, I'm, I'm just interested to see his reaction.

How long will he be?

I dunno. Got the impression it could be a long trial.

Okay. Uh, all right, I'll wait.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah.

Cat's got your tongue, DI Major?

Why won't you answer the question?

I, uh, we've been investigating the new case,

Chalmers offered to advise.

Is it normal to, uh,

consult alleged criminals in this fashion?

No.

It isn't normal,

but I'm not a normal police officer.

Indeed not.

You are part AI, I believe.

I'm augmented, yes.

Augmented, what does that mean exactly?

I did find out. It was, um...

It must make you vulnerable to hackers.

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

No?

Let me illustrate.

Exhibit 48F, please.

Eh?

Oh, shit.

You're the puppet master.

Every night I dream

that you're in here with me

and I finish you off with my bare hands.

He's been hacked.

See what she thinks about you leading

this case with spyware in your head.

I want you to find this young man

and bring him to me now!

You've arrested the victim, you dickhead.

Cocky little shit.

3D printing complete.

These images

were streamed directly from your AI,

available to any criminal elements

that would seek to exploit them.

Objection, Your Honour.

Do you deny the veracity of these images?

No!

You just weren't meant to see them.

But, sir, you knew your brain was corrupt

yet chose to deny it.

I am not corrupt.

Look, it's only some spyware in my head.

And microphones, the odd blackout, the spiders.

- Spiders? - Yes, spiders.

Your brain is under the remote control

of external agents.

No, this isn't fair.

She set this whole thing up to discredit me and destroy...

- Order. - And destroy

- the case against her. - Order.

Please, just listen to me.

DI Major, your testimony is fundamentally compromised.

Sit down or I will have you removed.

Order. Order.

Sensational developments as the judge declares

a mistrial in the Chalmers case.

The key witness was described as compromised and corrupt.

Ms Chalmers, please,

what d'you think of today?

Helen, any statement?

Yes, Greg, I have.

I have always had full confidence

in the British Justice system

and that's been proved again today.

Keep your head down.

We'll talk about this back at SIU.

- Dennett. - No comment.

Yeah, mate, you need to sign for these.

Oh, Christ, I forgot about the balloons.

I cannot tell you the relief I feel at being exonerated

from crimes that I did not commit.

I'd like to pay tribute to my barrister, Ms Churchland

and, uh, the biggest thanks to DI Major,

without whose testimony I wouldn't be here.

Admit it, Chalmers, I had you back there.

We all saw what you had, John.

It was thin and it didn't stand up.

Nah, it stood up fine until you started twisting it.

I'd love to chat but my driver's here.

Cleasby!

Nice to see you again, DI Major.

Need a ride?

I've got room for you in the boot.

Wanker.

I think I'll take that, John.

Thank you.

Okay, guys, no more questions. Thank you.

Step away from the car, please.

Thank you very much. No more questions.

No more questions. Thank you.

I let everyone down, boss.

I'm sorry.

I only wanted to make people forget the damage my dad caused.

Well you've certainly done that.

Before today, your father left the deepest stain

on this unit's history.

Now it's you.

You're an embarrassment to us all, DI Major.

Hand over your badge.

- Guv? - Now!

And the police badge.

I can't do that, boss.

Why the hell not?

We don't really have 'em in this country.

Well not the badge then but the, the little card thing

that you keep in your wallet.

You know, the thing that you show people

so they lift the tape up. You know the thing I mean.

- Yeah.

Here.

You're suspended without pay, now get out of my sight.

- Boss. - Out.

John.

John.

John. Major. John.

John. How'd it go?

In court, how was it?

Has no one told you?

Right, I mean, yeah, it was, um,

yeah, it was fine, it went well.

Good. Good, that's great.

Yeah. There was this one thing.

Look, can it wait? We've got the psychological profile,

Sarah wants to see the both of us.

Oh, right. Uh, yeah, no it can definitely wait.

Right. Right.

I've applied numerous psychometric methods

with a wide data set, identifying what makes

our killer unique and what that tells us.

Which is?

He's a police officer.

Well, we know that part already.

This confirms it.

Authoritarian personality type, obsession with control,

a sense of natural superiority.

Oh, this is all general, we need specifics.

Heterosexual white male, mid 40s,

so that's late to start killing,

tells us he's gone through

a certain kind of traumatic experience,

um, a kind of death followed by rebirth.

Hmm, a bit like when I got shot and came back.

- For example, yes. - Hmm.

There's also likely a secondary trigger, a loss,

perhaps the death of a parent.

Well, that makes sense.

Yeah, when my dad died it knocked me for six.

I didn't know what I was doing half the time.

Tough.

Also a relationship breakdown, most likely a divorce.

Oh, I've been there too.

D'you know what, if I didn't know any better,

I would think you was describing me.

Well, it would explain all the blackouts that's for sure.

This is the killer's profile?

Yeah.

D'you fancy a cuppa tea? I'm just gonna, um,

put the kettle on.

Ooh, the old back.

Door.

Get out my way. Move.

Oh, bugger.

Are you, are you not gonna go after him?

No, forget DI Major, we'll make more progress without him.

Roy, I have just presented a clinical profile

that precisely matches DI John Major.

Yeah, which is why he run away

but, I mean, you're not saying that it's him?

Oh, come on, Sarah,

he's a fucking idiot I'll give you that,

he's incompetent, he's clumsy, he's deeply confused,

but he's not a killer.

He's a friend, this must be difficult.

No, it's not difficult. He didn't do it.

Where you going?

If you're gonna ignore my report

then I am forced to take this directly to Dennett.

Oh, there's no need for that

I won't be held responsible

for letting a murder suspect walk free.

Look, Dennett will send a SWAT team after him.

Then you'd better get there first.

Where the fuck's Major?

As you know, I have encouraged him to move out,

a key reason for this being

so that you wouldn't keep bursting in here

asking, , "Where the fuck's Major?"

Well I need to find him, he's in a lot of trouble.

I am as shocked as you are,

I did not know that Chalmers planted the spyware

or that Major was visiting with her in prison.

What are you on about?

The mistrial. Major collaborating with Chalmers.

Shit.

What are you on about?

He's the prime suspect in our serial killer investigation.

Oh. Busy day in the office.

So where the fuck is he?

He left an address.

Well where is it then?

What, you put it in the fucking bin?

That impression was not like me, by the way.

It was.

Oh, how's it hanging?

- DI Major.

How's your day been?

D'you know what, we should have a proper catch-up.

Yeah, how about a cheeky Prosecco and a chinwag?

- No. - Come on, my treat. Hmm.

Ooh, you know what though, oh.

Except I've left my, uh, wallet in Dennett's office. Ah.

You don't wanna nip up and grab it

- for me by any chance? - Nah.

- Only take a second. - Nah.

Maybe grab me a weapon while you're there.

No.

Attention all SIU staff.

DI John Major has been identified

as the prime suspect in the Puppet Master killings.

He is to be considered highly dangerous.

D'you want some? It's only gonna go to waste.

No, thanks.

He is to be apprehended on sight.

D'you know what, uh, forget the drinks, uh, lovely chat.

Right, there's no need for any of this.

See that box of baby kittens back there?

Do not make me do this.

I do not wanna hurt you. Ooh, fuck me.

John Major, I'm arresting you on suspicion of...

I didn't do it. It wasn't me.

- Uh, me again.

Uh, now DI Major will try to distract you.

Be aware of it and do not let it happen.

Okay, bye.

- I'm sorry, Judy. - Judith!

- Sorry! - Fuck.

John!

John!

What, you followed me?

Yeah, not SWAT team, Roy, just me.

I'm just trying to do what's right,

so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

John?

John, are you here?

What you doing?

Well, we're in here now, might as well look around.

Are you okay?

Sarah?

Roy!

Fucking hell!

Still think I've got the wrong man?
