All language subtitles for Wire in the Blood 6-1

Guv, unidentified woman, partially
dismembered.

Body's been stuffed into the
suitcase and set on fire.

Looks like she's been strangled.

Who reported it? Hill-walkers. SOCO
thinks she's been here 36 hours.

Both legs severed at the knee, left
arm at the elbow.

The limbs weren't in the case. I've got the
search team combing the area up from the road.

Prints? Tyre tracks?
The verges are gravel.

Forensics say they can't get any
from this bracken. I said to try.

How come you're on your own?
Where's the new boy?

He said something about checking out
an informant.

He's not in the drug squad now. Tell him to
get up here and start pulling his weight.

Yes, can I help you?
DC Collins. Bradfield CID.

We've had some reports from your
neighbours. Can I come in?

What sort of reports? Don't make me
get a warrant, ma'am. Open the door.

Reports of what exactly?

I hear you've been having a lot of
visitors.

Male visitors.

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

Who told you that?

I'm asking the questions,
Miss Vaughan.

This is absurd. I'm a teacher. I don't
invite strange men into my house.

I'm afraid I'll have to place you
under arrest.

What?
Come here.

Stop.

Turn around.

You can't do this.
What am I charged with?

I'm arresting you under suspicion of
soliciting and prostitution.

Now you don't have to say anything.

But anything you do say can...

..and will be taken down and used as
evidence against you.

So...

What have you got to say?

Argh! Ah! Aaargh!

You were visiting an informant.

So, who does he say killed this
woman up on the moor?

I'm sorry, but I knew the guy
when I was undercover. He trusts me.

I can't just dump him.
Listen to me.

For the next four weeks, you're on
my team.

If there's a crime scene, I expect
you to be there.

Is that understood?
Yes, ma'am.

Don't call me ma'am. It makes me
sound like the bloody Queen.

Guv, we have an ID on that body.

Govida Umed, 24,

a medical researcher reported missing
by her father four weeks ago.

Umed - what is that? Arabic?
Kurdish, more like.

A lot of smack dealers come from
Turkey, Kurdistan.

An unmarried woman in her 20s. Lived
with her parents?

Yeah.
So, what are you thinking?

Kurdish families keep their girls
on a tight leash.

Maybe she was seeing the wrong
bloke. An honour killing?

I know it's cultural stereotyping.

There were several domestic
disturbances

at the family home in the weeks
before she disappeared.

Uniforms had to attend.

OK, let's talk to the family.

We can jump to conclusions later.

Mr Umed.

I'm DI Fielding. I'm sorry about
your daughter.

But I have to ask you a few
questions.

She was my eldest.

My first child.

You reported her missing
four weeks ago?

She didn't come home from work.

Was that unusual?

It wasn't like her. She came home
every evening.

She must have had friends, work
colleagues, a boyfriend.

No.

She was a good girl.

A respectable girl.

Can you tell me why the police were
called to this address in August?

That was nothing.

We wanted her to go home.

To find a husband. She refused.

You said at the time that you
thought she'd run away?

She wouldn't do what she was told.

I could not permit this.

The dishonour. She disgraced us!

Mr Umed, I have to caution you.

She did not run away.

I killed her.

I had her killed!

Chris, find out which officers attended the
domestic at the Umed household in August.

Ah, PC Benton...

and Sgt Shannahan.

I copied their notes.
Wanna speak to 'em?

After I've interviewed Umed. Paula, get
over to the lab where Govida Umed worked.

Talk to her colleagues, see what you
can find.

Guv, do you want me in on that?
Stick around. I need you here.

Oi! Oi!

Can I help you?

Help in what way exactly?
Chris.

It's all right,
this is Dr Tony Hill.

He's our criminal profiler.
Oh, I should have guessed.

What's up?

Where's Kevin? On a special
assignment for the next four weeks.

DC Collins is covering for him,
showing the rest of us up.

Come through.

I'm being accused of harassment.
You what?

By my next-door neighbour, Mr Roland.

He says I've been going
through his mail, following him home.

And have you?
Following him home, yes.

But then I am his next-door
neighbour.

He's invoking the Prevention of
Harassment Act. Guv.

He's ready for you.
Thanks, Chris.

Can we talk later? That Kurdish man
has confessed to killing his daughter.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered
you with this.

Do you wanna sit in?
Thanks.

The night that your daughter
disappeared,

you accounted for your movements and
provided witnesses.

Are you now saying
those witnesses lied?

A man called Faisal met her as she
returned from work.

Faisal?

I hired him to deal with my
daughter.

He's a Kurd like me.

He deals with these things.

Where can I find him?

I'm sorry. I can't say.

What did he say
when you arrested him?

He said, "I killed her. I had her
killed."

Which?

Both. He said both.

This man, Faisal -
does he have a surname?

How did you contact him?
How did you pay him?

I am sorry!

I cannot say.
I must think of my family.

I had her killed. That's all I want
to say.

Why did he mutilate her body?

What?

What does he mean, mutilate?

Your daughter's body was not intact
when we recovered it.

What did he do to her?

Do you understand the word mutilate?

Yes.

I don't know why he did this.

What was she like, your daughter?

She was very beautiful.

Always wanting to know why...

..why.

God gave her brains...

..as well as beauty.

But she squandered them both.

I'm sorry.

I killed her.
No, he didn't.

And he has no idea who did.

No, I'm sorry, I just don't think
Mr Umed killed his daughter.

No, he got someone else to do it -
Faisal.

Faisal's a figment of his imagination.
He's hanging on our preconceptions

to fill in the gaps of his story.

He said, "I killed her, I had her
killed."

That's two stories in one sentence.
He's making it up as he goes along.

Tony... He encouraged his daughter's
achievements.

He was proud of her independence.
Until she started exercising it,

dating outside the community.

Any evidence? Her colleagues weren't
aware of any boyfriend.

So she kept it secret.
I can't say I blame her.

You see? You see?
Filling in the gaps.

Why would her father lie if he
wasn't protecting someone?

Because he doesn't want us to ask
questions.

Why not? Why confess to killing his
daughter if he wasn't involved?

Can I see it?

The place where you found her.

Any tyre tracks?

Not that we've found.

No forensics, nothing.

So...

You walk on moss and bracken,
no footprints,

and you dump the body here.

In plain sight.

Burn her for everyone to see.

It doesn't make sense.

Have you got the...?

What happened to the handle?

Melted in the fire?

I don't think so.

I think they broke.

He meant to go further.

The petrol was a spur of the moment
thing...

..to destroy the evidence,

to hide what he'd done.

Dump the body here, it would never be
seen again.

Without ballast, it would have
floated back to the surface.

There's plenty of rocks around.

Adding ballast here would have kept
the case light until the last minute.

The handle shouldn't have broken.
It wasn't part of the plan.

If he planned to use the rocks that
were here,

he must have checked out the lake
beforehand. Or used it.

You think you can just turn up
whenever.

I'm not your slave.
Yeah, you are.

You lucky bitch.

And I don't do laundry.

Suits me.

Your talents lie elsewhere.

My husband didn't think so.
Hmm? What was he into?

All sorts.

He was quite a weirdo.

That's my real talent.
Always picking the wrong man.

You're welcome.

Guv.
Where are you?

I thought I'd go by Umed's workplace,
look for some witness statements.

Leave that for now. I need you to organise
an underwater search team to drag a lake.

Where?
Near the murder scene.

Get Paula to help you.

And get them to set up ASAP before
we lose the light.

Tell her you're tied up.
I'll get right on it.

Lie down.

I don't have a dispute with Mr
Roland. We haven't spoken.

May I ask what you do for a living?
Psychology lecturer.

And therapist. In fact, I think Mr
Roland might have mental health...

Can I stop you right there?

Your being a psychologist doesn't
really help.

Since you're a party in the dispute.
Right.

I see.

Now, I can draft a reply denying all
the accusations.

I presume they are false?

Of course they are. I haven't been
going through his mail. It's absurd.

Do you keep a diary?
I don't write about my neighbours.

Well, you should consider it. It can
be handy in disputes like this.

For now, just go home and stay out
of Mr Roland's way.

Guv.
Chris, what's happening up there?

So far, we've got two bodies.

Same MO. Both strangled, both
dismembered.

Male? Female?
One male, one female.

Looks like they're both IC1. But
Pathology is gonna check that out.

Hold on, they're just gonna unzip
the third one.

Are you still there?
Yeah, make that three bodies.

We've found more victims.

He has no idea what you're talking
about.

Mr Umed, there's no such person as
Faisal, is there?

Govida was killed by a stranger.
You're taking the blame.

You'd rather go to prison, abandon your
family, than tell us the truth. Why?

He's protecting someone.

"He's protecting her."

I understand that you cherish your
daughter's memory.

But would she want this?

To protect the man
who really killed her?

Leave him free to kill again?

I don't!

I cannot.

He said she squandered her beauty.

What did you mean when you said
"She squandered her beauty"?

I asked her to stop.
Stop what? Was she seeing someone?

Every night, she went out.

Different men.

She stayed out late.

She slept with them for money.

She did things. She dressed up.

Her room was full of...

..clothes and magazines...

..and devices.

Do you know who killed her?

No.

We did not hurt her.

We couldn't have.

These clothes, these devices,
are they still in her room?

I burned them

on some wasteland.

She was my Govida.

She knew it was wrong.

She couldn't help it.

Why was she working as a prostitute?
She didn't need the money.

Maybe she wasn't doing it for the
money.

Take Umed to the wasteland he
mentioned.

Tell him to show you where he burned
his daughter's stuff. No problem.

What the hell are these?

They told me Bradford would keep me
busy. They weren't joking.

Anyhoo, eyes down for a full house.

Four bodies in total.

All except one are missing their
lower legs and left forearm.

Couldn't find them in the lake.

The missing limbs - were they
amputated or hacked off?

It was a pretty neat job.

But a large knife was used,
as opposed to a scalpel.

The cruciate ligaments were divided
well below the tibial insertion.

So, in my opinion, it was the work
of a gifted amateur.

Or someone who's had lots of
practice.

Cause of death?
It's looking like strangulation.

All the ropes were still left round
the neck.

And there's a square bruise underneath
the left-hand side of the jaw.

Looks like the mark of a clip or
something.

There's ligature marks on the upper
limbs caused by the same rope.

Common sash cord. We're running
tests.

Chances of identification?

The teeth are all intact. So we're gonna
run some checks on their dental records.

All except for this chap.

All his teeth were removed prior to
disposal, probably using pliers.

And both forearms were cut off.

I can issue some descriptions and
DNA samples.

But it's pretty much needle
in a haystack stuff at the moment.

No hands, no teeth, no ID.

I'll run a fuller post-mortem in the
next couple of days. OK, thanks.

Are you coming to the brief?
Of course. Wouldn't miss it.

Tony.

Yep. Thanks.

Be lucky.

Bridget Ryan, 49 years old,
a shop worker.

And Jimmy Case, 15, still at school, minor
convictions for theft and possession.

Who reported them missing?

Relatives. None of which was able to
say exactly when they disappeared.

Third victim is an unidentified
Caucasian male in his mid-thirties. Liam?

It's hard to be precise about the
dates.

But I'd say he went into the water
about a year ago.

Then Bridget Ryan, then James Case.

So a new victim every two months.

Just one after the other after the
other.

Oh, this guy's not acting on impulse.

No, he has a routine.

Every attack is carefully planned.

The limbs...

..were removed neatly but not
professionally,

suggesting he doesn't have medical
training

but that he has been perfecting
this MO for some time.

What about the suitcases?

Cheap no-name brands picked up from
market stores and pound shops.

Either our man is skint or he's just
thick.

Oh, yeah? How do you work that out?

You load a body into a cheap suitcase,
of course the handle's gonna break.

But he bought the suitcases from
market stalls for cash.

There's no CCTV, no paper trail.

He picked a location that left no
forensic traces

and he disposed of three victims
without anyone ever noticing.

Yes, the handle fell off. That was
just luck.

It was good luck for us,
bad luck for him.

Right, for the moment, let's focus
on the identified victims.

Find what they have in common, where
they went, who they knew.

Friends, family, colleagues.

Pupils and teachers at the kid's
school. Govida Umed's clients.

All right?
On it.

He's young. He'll learn.

Jimmy Case.
Of course I remember him.

He was a star pupil once.

What happened?
Adolescence, trouble at home.

Slow down!
Sorry, sir!

Who were his friends here at school?

He didn't have any.

He was excluded for pushing skunk.
He never came back.

Real waste.

Her life was a mess.

She was depressed,

taking a lot of pills.

Jesus, she was murdered?

Was she drinking?
No.

Bridget didn't drink.

There was this business at work.

She'd been caught shoplifting.

She got off with a warning.

But I think it was the menopause
thing, you know?

She wouldn't talk to me.

God love her.

I said she should... find a shrink.

I even dug one out of the Yellow
Pages for her.

Do you remember who that was?

Dr Bryant?
Sorry, I had no idea.

She came for six weeks and just
stopped turning up.

I thought...
Her brother says she was depressed.

Well, she was lonely.

She had low self-esteem. I tried to
address that.

I tried to get all my clients to...

accept themselves for what they are.

How do you do that? I use cognitive
behavioural therapy

and neuro-linguistic programming.

Quick fix therapy.

Most of the people who come to see
me can't afford years of analysis.

I'm sorry, I don't see...

Did you keep notes from your session
with Miss Ryan?

Yes, yes.

Three victims, different ages, races,
backgrounds. How did the killer choose them?

When and how did he take them?
They were all socially isolated,

irregular habits.

There's a good chance the killer
chose them for that.

Their movements are harder to trace.
Two weren't missed for weeks.

So, if the killer knew them that
well, could they have known him?

Good question.

All right, Terry, check out the phone
records, see if there's any overlaps.

Chris...

Chris, are you with us?

Yes, sorry, guv.

That teacher at Jimmy Case's school
said he was doing skunk.

Yes, I spoke to a mate in the DS.

The kid was small-time, using rather
than selling.

All right, let's focus on Govida
Umed.

She's the most recent victim. Gives us a
better chance of tracing her movements.

Now, if she was a prostitute, she
wasn't working from home.

Check escort agencies, see if she
was on their books.

Does anybody know what these are?
Nipple clamps.

What? Did you lot grow up in a
convent or something?

So Govida was into S&M, bondage, sex
games.

All right, Chris, since you know so
much about them,

check out local sex shops.

Find out who supplies that gear.
Paula, go with him.

Sure.

Ah, the first victim.

He's the one we really need to trace.

Nothing from England and Wales.

We've sent all the details to
Scotland and Ireland.

But some nice light reading for you.

Post-mortem of Miss Umed. Enjoy.
Thanks.

# I used to ride with a vending
machine repair man

# He said he's been down this road
more than twice... #

Aaargh!

Stomach contents show traces of
coriander, cumin and garlic.

What, you're feeding her Middle
Eastern food?

Oh, playing the perfect host, feeding
her up, making her feel at home.

Then why restrain her?

Sash cord was tied around her throat,

upper arms and thighs.

Why there?

This is not just about restraint.

Aaargh!

It's more than a restraint.

It's a tourniquet.

So you can remove the limbs without
them bleeding to death.

Oh, you kept them alive while you
took them apart.

Argh!

Oh, Jesus! What?

1812 Overture

What...?

Hello?

Could you turn the music down,
please?

Mr Roland!

Hey! I can't sleep!

Please don't do that again.
I was scared.

Yeah, I noticed.
I wanted to... talk.

Actions speak louder than words,
though.

I don't want to do this any more.

What did you have in mind?

What the hell...!

Oh...!

Look, don't call it in, OK? I know
who it is. What?

It's my husband. Look, I just don't
want the police involved.

Are you serious?
Yes, honestly, it'll be OK.

OK, yeah, great.

Sure.

All right, progress reports.

The bank records show that Bridget Ryan withdrew
more cash than usual in her last few weeks.

How much more?
50, 60 a week.

But Umed's account showed no unusual
transactions. And the boy didn't even have one.

No sex shops we went to supplied that
gear. There's still some we haven't tried.

Tony?

What?

Oh, sorry.

Govida Umed disappeared four weeks
ago.

But the condition of her body indicates
that she died within the last seven days.

So she was being held prisoner
somewhere.

And then fed Middle Eastern food.

That wasn't just keeping her alive.

I think it was to make her feel at
home, feel welcome.

He wanted her to feel grateful.

So she would have sex with him?
Oh, no, this isn't about sex.

Well, not as most of us understand it
anyway.

This is about intensifying the
experience, making him feel omnipotent.

The power to extend life and the
power to end it.

Could I borrow someone? Er, Collins.

The victims are restrained
by a noose around the neck.

The clip holds it in place so they
aren't prematurely strangled.

The same rope runs around the upper
limbs.

And as the victim struggles,

the ropes tighten, cutting off the
circulation to the lower limbs,

which he then amputates.
While the victim's still alive?

Oh, by several weeks, yeah.

He doesn't appear to use any anaesthetic
or sedation or there'd be traces.

Why does he keep the hands and feet?
Trophies?

I think they're souvenirs.

Of the victims' pain, subjugation.

Removing the extremities maximises the
torment, but it doesn't risk their lives.

He wants them to beg for mercy,

plead for the torture to end.

That's what he enjoys, that's what
gratifies him.

Right until the moment they break and
despair.

What then?
And then he ends it.

Cute.

You should ask. They might have one
in your size.

Hello?
Hello?

Hi there. How can I help?

Recognise these?

Whew!

Were you looking for replacements?

Do you sell replacements?
Not this quality.

These are special order.

Have you specially ordered a set for
anyone this last year?

I haven't. I'd remember.

This stuff costs top whack.

It's the sort of gear they use in...
In what?

Private clubs. Those sorts of
places.

Which clubs in particular?

The ones I can't afford to go to.
Such as?

# Where this life ends

# I begin

# I have found

# The flame

# Rise in me

# Rise in me

# Rise in you #

Police. I've got a warrant to search
your premises. Just wait here.

Everybody stay where they are.

Oh, please, this is entirely
unnecessary.

We're a private club operating
within the law.

How do you get to be a member?

We're not taking applications at the
moment.

Make sure you show her photograph
to everybody.

I want names, addresses
and proof of ID.

Oi, oi! Get your mask off, get your
clothes on and go downstairs.

Police!

Go downstairs, mate.
Go on, go downstairs.

Bring back the birch.

All right, love, come on.
Oi, get off!

Hey, take it easy. All right, love,
all right. Take it easy.

I would have thought the police had
better things to do with their time.

I'm investigating a series of
murders.

We believe the latest victim was one
of your girls.

They're not my girls.
They're guests.

Was she one of your guests?

She called herself Scheherazade.

Scheherazade?

As in A Thousand And One Nights?

The girl who told stories
to save her life?

Never read it.

Her real name was Govida Umed.

She was held captive for weeks
before she was strangled.

We found her body in a suitcase.

That's truly dreadful, but...

it had nothing to do with this club,
I'm sure of it.

Are you the owner, Jeanette Wise?
My guests call me Electra.

So, all these fake names, is that
part of the role play?

The thrill of sex with strangers?

There is that. It also encourages
discretion.

I'd like to see your membership
records.

I don't keep any.

I couldn't betray my guests even if
I wanted to.

Betray?

Complete discretion is assured.

I have a professional duty of
confidence.

So no-one knows this place exists,

you have no idea
who you're letting in.

I vet every guest personally.

If anyone vanishes without a trace,
no-one would know they've been here.

Unless they've left a note: "I'm off
to the brothel."

Nothing like that has ever happened.
Until now.

How often did Govida come here?

Four or five times a week.

She'd disappear for a month or two
but she always came back.

What was she into?

She was a dominatrix.

She enjoyed inflicting punishment.

Some of our guests enjoyed
receiving it.

You realise it's illegal to smoke in
these premises?

Your hand - is that a prosthetic?

An accident when I was younger.

Was Govida paid for her services?

She wasn't a prostitute,

but she might have received gifts.

In cash, I presume?

Were some of the men here today her
clients?

I've no idea. You'd have to ask
them, I'm afraid.

We will.

We believe she worked here...
Wait here a minute, please.

Find out if any of them were
Govida's clients.

They'd have known her as
Scheherazade.

Make sure they see her photograph.

Alex...

Excuse me? Excuse me!

Oi!
Oi, oi! Where are you going?

Haven't we met before?

I'd like it to be noted that I've
come here voluntarily

and that I was not committing any
crime.

Did you know this girl?

Yes, I knew her. She was a regular
at the club until a few months ago.

Were you one of her clients?

We were friends.
You had sex?

Not as such.

She had a love of discipline
and I shared it.

Discipline? We were consenting
adults in private.

We weren't harming anyone
and we weren't breaking the law.

Jimmy Case wasn't an adult.

Jimmy Case?
That's knocked him off-balance.

"Just keep him there."
Jimmy Case and Govida Umed

were killed by the same person.

And you knew them both.

Yes, I knew Jimmy Case.

But not in that sense.

Wait.

Look, I never even taught Jimmy
Case.

He was a pupil in my school,
that was it.

He went off the rails but that was
nothing to do with me.

Wait...

I did all I could to intervene, but
it was no use.

Our relationship was strictly
pastoral.

Their relationship?
So you did have a relationship?

A professional, pastoral
teacher-pupil relationship.

You just said you never taught him.
I never taught him as such.

I mean, I... He said he intervened.
How did he intervene?

How did you intervene? Was it within
the school?

Yes.
He's lying.

Where did you meet outside of the
school?

Was it at Electra's? She'd never let
anyone under age on the premises.

Where did you meet?

I said, where did you meet?

Oh, Christ. Jimmy Case was living on
the street dealing in drugs.

What else was he into - a bit of
rough trade?

It wasn't like that.
Then what was it like?

Did he know about Electra? Did he
threaten to expose you?

He needed help.

He wouldn't have...
He was a good kid.

Oh, God.

My career's over.
When this gets out...

Tell us what happened.

I found him... begging on the
streets.

I took him to a restaurant,
bought him a meal.

I told him to get his act together.

I even gave him money.
Which restaurant?

Verve's, Cray Street.
What did he feed him?

What did he have to eat?

Pizza, usually.

He said it was the only thing he
liked.

So this happened more than once?

Yes, two or three times.
Why didn't you mention this before?

Because...

here we are.

Just arrest me, please.

I can't take any more of this.

Chris, check out Verve's restaurant. See if any of
the staff remember Sanders coming in with Jimmy Case.

Or any of the other victims.

Paula, go through the school
records.

I wanna know if any other kids have
gone missing.

What?

The man we're looking for is a
sadist.

He's insecure, he's inadequate,
he's driven to dominate.

This arrives by inflicting pain and
humiliation.

You think Sanders doesn't fit that
description? Sanders is a masochist.

He's a typical authority figure.

He spends most of his working day
bossing people around.

Then, in his spare time, he gets his
kicks by reversing roles.

Are you gonna publicise this - about him
being detained and where he was detained?

No, I won't. But there were 20 other
officers at that raid.

I don't think he's a paedophile.
Maybe not.

But he shouldn't work with kids.

Oh, no! What's the matter?

Your tummy hurts?
Oh, give us a cuddle.

Oh, I'm sure we can make it better.

Playtime's nearly over. OK?

Take a closer look.

Never seen either of them. Sorry.

It was a man having dinner with a
homeless boy half his age.

We do 300 covers a night and we don't
photograph the customers.

Mind if I talk to your service
staff?

Sure. But it's rush hour and they've
got lots of work to do.

Carlo, are you searing that steak or
cremating it? Sorry, chef.

Come.

The night Govida Umed disappeared,

Sanders was at a PTA dinner dance
till 12:30pm.

300 witnesses.

So he's in the clear.
Looks like it.

Oh, and we've got some reporters
downstairs sniffing around.

Send him home.
OK.

Unmarked van out the back.

Sure.

'I wasn't expecting you.'

I got you a little present.

I picked it up at work.

No.

Come on, say it like you mean it.
I do mean it. I can't do this.

This?

This... this... You and me, I can't...

People are starting to ask questions
at school.

To hell with them.

No, look, my life's a mess. I have to
sort it out. It's not you.

It's me.

Let's just be friends.

I'll call you sometime. Jesus.
Oh, stop it, Chris.

Don't we get to talk about it?

I try to talk about it. You never
listen.

I need someone who listens.

Someone who... understands me

without...

It's him, innit? That prick
ex-husband of yours.

He throws a little wobbly and you
come running.

Please leave.

Or what?

Are you gonna call the police?

Look, it's over, OK?

Try to accept it

and move on.

You can keep this.

Souvenir.

More test results.

The stomach contents of the other
victims. Decomposition proved a challenge.

With the unidentified male, it's
impossible to tell.

Jimmy Case's stomach contained
remnants of sweet potato,

heavily laced with pimento and
nutmeg.

Is that Caribbean food? Didn't
Sanders say he preferred pizza?

Bridget Ryan showed large amounts of
alcohol in her system. Probably whisky.

Bridget Ryan didn't drink.

He didn't give them any choice.

He gave Govida Turkish food, Jimmy Case Caribbean,
and he forced Bridget Ryan to drink whisky.

It's not about making them feel at
home, it's a sick joke.

It's another way of humiliating them,
another form of torture.

Amputation isn't enough?
He wants to render them helpless.

They can't walk, they can't feed
themselves, protect themselves.

So they rely on him for everything.

Why doesn't he just target amputees from
the start, if that's what excites him?

I think we need to talk to Electra.

Ah. You two again.

Business or personal?

We're sure the man we're looking for
is one of your guests.

He's into bondage, humiliation. But he's
aroused by the utter subjugation of his victims.

We never let things get that far. We use
safety words when someone's had enough.

We think he persuaded them to meet
him off the premises

so he could tie them up and amputate
their limbs.

He killed them?

How did you lose your hand?

Er, an infection. I let it go too
far and they had to take it off.

Do any of your guests ever ask you to
remove the prosthetic?

One or two.

Who was the most recent?

Govida,

the girl you call Scheherazade,

she wasn't just murdered.

She was tortured to death. It took
three weeks.

He er...

He called himself Michelangelo, said
he was a sculptor.

A sculptor?

That was just a line to flatter me.

He worked in plastics. He told me
that when I vetted him.

He was what we call a devotee.

Was he more interested in the
prosthetic or the stump?

The hand. It was almost as if it
amused him.

When was the last time you saw him?

A year ago. And you've got no idea
about his real name?

Where he lives, where he works?
I saw someone who resembled him.

In the Mansion Walk shopping centre.

Sculptor.

You're a sculptor.

Do you choose them for their hands?

We carry our identity in our
fingertips,

our destiny in our palm.

We caress with hands.

We hold tools.

Where do you find them?

In the street? In a bar?

In a shopping mall?

Alex, it's me. Ring me back.

I'm in Mansion Walk shopping mall.

I think I know why he likes to come
here. Oh, Mr Roland!

Stay away from me! I've warned you!

Mr Roland, calm down...
Call yourself a doctor?

You won't get away with it!
I didn't know you were here.

It's harassment! I'll get an
injunction!

I haven't come anywhere near you.
I'm not touching him.

Get off...

Oh, for pity's sake! Let go, let go.

Can't stay long. What did you want...

Aaaargh!

Thanks for turning up. They were
planning to strip-search me.

I can wait.

What are you doing here?
It's a shopping mall.

I don't need a reason.
I do!

Elektra saw this guy Michelangelo

You're cruising, looking for a guy
in his 40s. I'd have nicked you.

I called you.
I think I know why he likes this.

Fielding. What school?

I'll be there in five.

A woman's gone missing
about two hours ago.

I know it seems
as if I'm overreacting. Not at all.

But I'm aware Colette's been having
problems with her ex-husband.

Abusive phonecalls, damage
to her car. What time did she leave?

One o'clock.
She received a text message.

Said she'd be back by two.

Any idea who from?
She didn't say.

Do you have a photograph of her?

Her full name is Colette Ann
Vaughan. She's about 5'6".

43 years old.
Thanks.

Get this copied.
Put out a general alert

for a woman of that description.

Chris!
Yes, right.

Does she often go out at lunchtime?
Yes. Well... yes.

Yes, what?
I think she had a boyfriend.

An on/off sort of arrangement.

They used to meet at lunchtimes,
but it seems to have stopped.

She's never talked about him.

How did you find out? She came back
once with her dress inside out.

Bit of a giveaway.

Could the text have been
from the boyfriend?

I suppose so. Yes.

Do you have a home address?
Yes.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Fine, thanks.

Paula, check the phone for messages,

look for recently dialled numbers
on the handset. OK.

It's not just tidy,
it's... fastidious.

Almost anal.

No family photos.

No indication of who she is.

Like she's trying
to sanitise her life.

Alex.

Is this...?

That's not blood.
It would have soaked in.

Looks more like paint.

Tony, give me a hand with this.

It's glass.

Someone broke the window. She was
having trouble with her ex-husband.

Paula.

Get Chris. Start knocking on doors.

Find out if the neighbours
know about a broken window,

if they've seen anyone suspicious
around. DI Fielding!

This would be more at home
at Elektra's brothel.

What was it doing in the bin?

Get it checked for prints.

We still don't know for sure if this
is anything to do with our killer.

Doesn't hurt to assume the worst.
She resembles

Gulmeda Uved in many respects.
Socially isolated. Sexually active.

Why so secretive
about the new boyfriend?

Don't most women boast about that?
Unless -

It's a relationship you don't want
to boast about. You saw the whip.

No hands or picnics in the park.

I think she liked
the lure of the illicit.

The assignations at lunchtime.

The lust.

The passion.
Someone put that whip in the bin.

Maybe she was ashamed
of what she did.

They were all ashamed
of what they did.

KNOCK AT THE WINDOW
Dr Tony Hill?

Yes. Notice of an ex parte hearing
on behalf of Jack Rowland.

This is a crime scene.
Who let you through? I'm done.

Oh, great!

An ex parte hearing
is one arranged at short notice.

Mr Rowland is applying
for a restraining order

accusing you of harassment. He was
blasting music through the walls.

Did you complain to anyone? Council?
Police? I complained to him.

I went round and banged on his door.
Not a good idea.

You'll have to argue your case
in court this afternoon.

I haven't got time for this.

I'll represent you, but missing the
hearing won't impress a magistrate.

Your choice, Dr Hill.

Anything from the neighbours?
Paula has it covered.

I was checking the CCTV footage
at the school. And?

Her leaving. That's it.
Nothing covers the street outside.

Get onto the phone company. We
need to know who the boyfriend is.

Get them to divert her calls onto
your phone so we can keep track.

It could be part of his MO.
He calls or texts them.

Gets them to come to him to meet
somewhere secluded at short notice.

He's spontaneous. He's fine.
He's my new best friend.

And it's a surprise, except...
Except what?

Paula checked the mobile records.
No overlaps. He gets a new SIM card.

Gives each victim a new number
then throws it away.

Sir, the husband's name
is Oliver Vaughan.

They divorced 18 months ago.

She took out an injunction against
him last year for harassment.

Anyone can get
an injunction apparently.

Vaughan has previous for kerb-
crawling, threatening behaviour,

criminal damage. Did you check
the address he gave? He's moved.

No forwarding address.
Occupation polymer engineer?

He works in plastics.
Elektra's client Michelangelo.

The devotee?
He worked in plastics.

You think he could be
the same person? It's possible.

He and Colette
are into fetish games. They marry.

But his demands
become more and more extreme.

She dumps him. He starts hanging out
in brothels. Jesus!

Female lefthand ring finger.

Severed with a single blow
from a heavy blade.

More than likely a cleaver.
Happened in the last six hours.

Paula, find out who brought it into
the building. See what they say.

I'll run some tests
and take some prints. Thanks, Liam.

What?
It's her.

He has her, and he wants us to know.
Can we talk in private?

Sure.
You come as well.

Is there something you need me -

Serial killers
sometimes contact the police

or the press to justify themselves,
or to boast, or to mislead

and manipulate an investigation.
But not this guy.

He doesn't need the attention.
So why has he done this?

You're the shrink?

There's no note, no demands,
no context,.

There's nothing to go on
except the finger,

and an envelope addressed to you.
So?

Why is it addressed to you?
He got my name from somewhere

Alex is in charge
of the investigation.

Sometimes they write to me
cos they think I'll understand.

So why has this guy written to you?

Do you understand?
I have no idea, mate.

It's a wedding finger. Not a little
finger or the tip of a finger.

Third finger from her left hand
where a wedding ring used to be.

You knew Colette Vaughan.

What was your relationship?

I was, er...

I'm the boyfriend or I was.
She wanted kept secret -

We have wasted hours!
What were you thinking?

I lost it. I'm sorry.
Where were you lunchtime?

Come on, guv -
Where were you?

I was in the canteen with Paula.
Don't shout at me!

The whip. The whip.
Is that hers or yours?

I took it from that place -
You took it? You took evidence.

It didn't seem to be
related to the case, so...

When did you last speak to her?
Two days ago. She dumped me.

I think she wanted
to get back with her husband.

Paula.

You're off this case,
and you're off my team.

Take him to an interview room.
Get a full statement

about his relationship
with Colette Vaughan. Dates

places, conversations, everything.
Then you go home.

Stay there till I work out
what to do with you. Ma'am -

Shut up, and get out of my sight.

Whoever took Colette knew about
her relationship with Collins. How?

She could have told him
under duress.

Or he'd been stalking them.

Which her ex-husband is known
to have done. I'm going shopping.

Now?! I saw something in that mall.
I want another look.

You know what happened last time.

Give me an hour,
then come and bail me out.

Or... you could come with me.

See?

Here.

What?

Sorry. We're closed.

Do you know a man
called Michelangelo? Tony!

Look what they're made from.
Fibreglass. Plastic.

Where's he going?

Watch this door.

Paula, I need backup.

Get out of the van now!

He didn't look like
any of these. Sorry.

Have another look.

Elektra, all this stuff
about professional discretion,

the duty of confidence,

is that really
about protecting your guests

or is it about absolving yourself
when something goes wrong?

Second from the left.

Are you sure?

He's died his hair and he's using
contacts, but that's him.

He was the devotee.

Can I go now please?

How did you find this guy?

He was a Palace of Pain client.
Elektra saw him at the mall.

Well, he is Oliver Vaughan,
the missing woman's ex-husband.

I have no idea why I'm here.

Why did you run
when I attempted to question you?

I didn't know
you wanted to question me.

I had another job to go to.

Oh, yeah. As a polymer engineer.

I'm a sculptor.

You make shop window dummies.
I sculpt fashion mannequins.

It's a highly skilled,
specialised business

you clearly know nothing about.

That needled him. Keep it up.

Can't be much of a living.

Not in the yellow pages.

You don't have
a registered business address.

Word of mouth.
My work speaks for itself.

For cash.

No paper trail. No records.
No tax. No VAT.

That what all this is about,
my bookkeeping?

Your ex-wife Colette Vaughan
went missing

from her workplace
at lunchtime today.

Really?
'Where were you at lunchtime today?'

'On the road.'
Not concerned about her?

I don't give a toss
what she does at lunchtime or who.

He knows about Collins.

Why do you say that?
Because she's that kind of girl.

What kind?
Which kind?

What's the polite expression?
A slag.

He stalks her. He's obsessed
with her. He despises her.

Now he thinks he owns her.

Why did she divorce you?
Irreconcilable differences.

Ask him about the sex.

Were there sexual problems?
She preferred sex with strangers.

The stranger the better.

Then so do you.

We know you're a client
of the Palace of Pain.

So much for professional discretion.

You met a girl there Gulveda Umed.

You'd know here as Sheherazade.
I met lots of girls.

She was kidnapped a month ago,

held prisoner, mutilated,
and murdered.

What a shame.

'She had beautiful hands.'

Why does he say that?

You like her hands?
I'm a sculptor.

I notice these things.

The person who took her amputated
a hand before he murdered her.

What do you think about that?

He's got great taste.

He's a sculptor.
He must have a studio.

Where's your studio?

You won't find anything there.
He's worried.

Then you won't mind telling us
where it is. So you can trash it?

No, thank you.
We'll find it anyway, Mr Vaughan,

through your clients,
your suppliers.

You'd better do that, then.

Forensics are going over his van.
It's registered to a letter drop.

There's nothing in it
with an address. These are his keys.

He at least one client at the mall.
Speak to the other retailers.

See if anyone knew him
or if they have an address.

Guv. I told you to go home.
I know I screwed up.

I expected more from you.
What will you do?

I'll send you
back to the Drugs Squad

How did you get on with Vaughan?

Why? You worried
about your appraisal?

I'm worried about Colette.

OK.

Did she ever say where he lived?
Or if he contacted her.

We didn't talk much.

Oh, really.
It was sex.

She liked being dominated. And I...

And you what?
I liked dominating her.

I've got this thing
about older women.

Christ! Go home
and sort your head out!

They divorced 18 months ago,
but the injunction was a year ago.

When the first murder took place.
Could be the trigger.

Especially for a guy
who fantasises about mutilation.

No luck with retailers,
but I checked with suppliers.

They supplied raw polymer resin
to a disused warehouse

near Canning's Yard. A man answering
his description paid in cash.

RECORDED LAUGHTER

It's like
there was a freezer in here.

What are these for?

I'm going
to have to get Forensics over here.

Bit lifelike for a window display.

That's because it's not a replica.

The freezers are full of body parts.

So far we have seven hands,
two complete with arm or forearm.

and three feet, plus one lower leg.

Do any of them
belong to our victims?

Kerwin's checking DNA
back at the lab.

They're all different ages,
races, and sexes.

Some are damaged, hacked about.

Were any of the hands
missing a ring finger?

Not that I saw.

Where's he holding Colette?

Confront him with the evidence.

Will that make him confess?
He'll change his tack.

How many people have you killed?

A rough figure.

Why did Colette keep her
married name after so much acrimony?

Colette didn't change her name
after the divorce. Why?

You'll have to ask her that.

Did she regret it?
Did she still want him?

Did she want
to get back together with you?

Is that how you lured her
away from the school?

After everything
you put her through!

She wasn't the depraved on, was she?

Humiliation, degradation, submission
wasn't enough for you.

You wanted to cut people.

Look at you sitting there,

all prim and proper.

I've had women like you.

Underneath it all
they're all just bitches on heat

waiting for a man
to bring them to heel.

Tell me your fantasy.

Forget it, Alex.
He's getting off on this.

'Don't gratify him.'

You want to know what excites me?

(The thought of locking you up,

and throwing away the key.)

Now tell me where she is.

I've no idea.

Ugh! I want a bath of bleach.

Tony, we've got
to get this guy to talk.

His ex-wife is trussed up somewhere
starving to death.

Alex, what if he really doesn't know
where she is?

What if
he's just stringing us along?

Stringing us along?
He knew the victims.

It's his record. It's threatening
behaviour, criminal damage.

Those are indirect.
They're bout intimidation.

Not confrontation.

He had three fridges
full of severed hands and feet.

We have a fingerprint match
from a hand in the workshop.

From a Sally Martin arrested for
dangerous driving three years ago.

This is her last known address.
No record of her disappearing.

The perfect victims are
the ones who leave no traces.

Will you come with me?
This could be awkward.

Hi, there.
DI Fielding, Bradfield CID.

Is this the Martin family home?
Yeah.

Did a Sally Martin live here?
What's this about?

We'd like to speak to
her next of kin. I'm Sally Martin.

You're right. This is awkward.

We've just arrested your friend,

the theatre nurse
at Bradfield General.

I don't know any nurse.

The one working
in the operating theatre.

When a limb was amputated
he took it away to incinerate,

except he didn't,
he sold them to you for cash.

I needed them for my work.

You needed them
because you have a fetish for them.

You said I was a killer. I didn't
want to puncture your fantasy.

Listen to me. Colette has been
abducted by a murderer

who dissects his victims
while they're still alive.

Do you understand that?
Ironic, isn't it?

We're talking about your ex-wife.

The woman who promised herself
to me. I didn't want much.

Just a token of devotion,
something for us to share.

Devotion!
He wanted her to amputate a limb.

You wanted her
to mutilate herself for you.

And she called me sick.
All this from a slut,

who picks up pricks in the street.

You've been deliberately
wasting our time.

I told you
I had nothing to do with it.

With any luck
he'll have killed the bitch!

How long has she got, Colette?

It depends on how she reacts.

I want total control.
I want to dominate.

I want my victims
to feel utterly helpless.

But if she defies me, that makes me
furious. I'll end it now.

But if she accepts
her fate as victim,

begs for my mercy,
I'll string it out.

And you might have
a chance of saving her.

Damn!
What's the matter?

Dr Hill, I've been trying
reach you all afternoon.

Sorry I missed the hearing.
I've been kind of preoccupied.

You can't go home.
What do you mean I can't go home?

The magistrate granted
Rowland the injunction.

He had witnesses who saw
you shout through his letterbox.

'There are photos
of you watching his house.' Yes.

I was watching him
take photos of me.

I did my best. But you can't go

within 500 metres of Mr Rowland
even to return home.

Where am I supposed to go?
It doesn't matter

as long as you stay away
from Mr Rowland.

I've got us
a review hearing tomorrow. Be there!

Right. Thanks. Is there any chance -

No.

Oh, please.

How long are you staying?

Well, it depends.

Tony's neighbour thinks
he's a bit mad. Well, he is.

Ben.

Just a bit. In a good way.

Thank you, I think.

It's from all that
looking into people's heads.

Mum says you help her catch people

because you can see
inside their heads.

Are you trying
to catch someone now?

Right now we're having dinner.

I helped do the chicken.

Don't talk with your mouth full.

I helped do the chicken.

Mm? It's very good.

You rub a bit of garlic on it,
Mm.

then you pour on the olive oil,
and put a lemon inside it.

Lindy says that makes
the meat taste nicer.

Don't you like it?

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Wait here a minute, pet.

I completely missed it.

The food,
the meals he gave the victims.

it wasn't just a bad joke
to humiliate them.

Don't, Tony.
Oh, yeah.

The garlic, the lemon,
the spices, whisky,

they were used to flavour the meat.

That's why he kept them
prisoner for weeks.

That's what he does with the limbs.

That's what who does?

Finish off your supper.

'My life's a mess.'

'I need someone
who listens and understands.

I'm not your slave.'
'You are, you lucky bitch.'

'It's over.
I don't want to do this anymore.

Why not just accept it, move on.

I don't want to do this anymore.'

I've been examining
the severed finger.

I'm afraid it's too late
for Colette Vaughan.

Elasticity and lividity of the skin
leads me to believe

when this finger was severed
she was already dead.

She must have fought back.
What will he do now?

He's gonna be angry.
He plans these abductions in detail.

He'll want to externalise
his frustration, blame someone.

Blame who?
Her for defying him.

The police for pressurising him.
He knows about the boyfriend.

Collins. He's exposed.
Get a team to his place now.

'This is Chris Collins. Leave
a message after the beep.' Damn!

Police!
Chris?

Hello?
DC Collins?

Guv, he's gone.

There's no sign of him
or a struggle. Sure.

OK, let's go, everyone.

CREAKING

CREAKING

I know how this works.

The ropes, I know what they do.

I'm not like the others.

I'm a police officer.

If you go through with this,
you'll never be safe anywhere.

They will chase you to the ends
of the earth, track you down.

Don't. Don't!

Don't, don't, don't!

Aaaagh! Aaaagh!

DC Collins is missing.
His mobile's switched off.

He got a text from an untraceable
number. We think from our killer.

Why didn't he call it in?
He wanted to redeem himself.

The killer knew this, exploited it.

This killer is articulate,
even charming when he needs to be.

He kept one of the victims alive
for at least three weeks.

We think we know why.

The contents of their stomachs
suggest the killer feeds them

to fatten them up.

Then he amputates the limbs and eats
them in front of the victims. God!

No anaesthetic, no sedation.
That would taint the meat.

He's not just feeding them
ready meals,

he's cooking them highly spiced food
to flavour the meat.

The same way you force-feed
geese corn to make pate.

The feeding is part
of the ceremony, of the fun,

the anticipation -
fancies himself as a gourmet.

What if he was a chef?
Chef.

A chef, possible.
A chef who owns his own restaurant,

takes time off when he pleases.
DC Collins. What?

We sent him to the one
Sanders took Jimmy. Verve's.

The chef denied seeing Jimmy. He was
there three times. You're with me.

I'll see you later.
You not coming?

Court case. If I don't show up,
I'll be held in contempt.

SIREN BLARES

Bradfield CID. If you could
just all stay put please.

Where's the head chef?

He's not here. It's his day off.

So where is he?
At home. I guess.

Look, he never says, all right?

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Victor Del Angelo?
What the hell are you doing?

It's in connection with a murder
inquiry. Don't you need a warrant?

Not in this case.
Is it that homeless kid?

You had a visit last week
from DC Collins. So?

What were you doing last night?
Get some clothes on.

What do you want?

That is what I was doing last night.

Hey.

Do you know what?

I don't even know
what you look like.

I don't know where we are.

You could just let me go.

You could just let me go.

I wouldn't be able
to tell anybody... anything...

..about you.

What are you...? No.

Aaagh!

He had an alibi?
An angry one with no clothes on.

How soon can you get back?
As soon as I find a hotel.

Doesn't sound very good.
The judge upheld the injunction

pending a review on Friday.
You're kidding!

I don't blame her. I lost it.

Now Rowland's made a complaint
to the university.

They can't believe him.
I thought the judge wouldn't.

Forget a hotel, you can stay
at my place for the duration.

Not a good idea.
'It'll be fine.'

Ben will be thrilled.
Plus you need a friend.

I don't need friends.
I need professional help.

What, like Elektra?
Yeah.

Someone I could share my darkest...

I'm here if you need me.

Tony?

'Tony, are you still there?

Tony?'

That's what they all wanted.
Someone to talk to, to confide in.

The victims?

An intimate stranger.
A professional friend.

The man in the lake,
the first victim.

I think I know who it is.

He told me what you do.

Tony Hill.
The shrink with the murder squad.

He's very clever.

He told us about all of this.

The ropes.

The fancy food.

I know I'm gonna wind up
in a suitcase

just like all the others.

I will starve to death
before I eat that meat.

You'll live longer,

and brilliant Tony Hill
might save you.

Ssh.

Got him.

Let's get on with it.

BEEPING

No, wait.

Hi.
Hi.

Dr Hill?

Sorry, Dr Bryant,
are you with a client?

No, not at the moment.
Good.

Do you want to come in?

You look tired.

I've got this neighbour
who thinks I'm persecuting him.

He's keeping me awake,
pursuing me through the courts.

I can't seem to make him
leave me alone.

Have you tried talking to him?
Defuse the conflict somehow.

I've been preoccupied with catching
the man who killed your client.

Sounds pretty stressful.

I really felt
my life was coming apart.

You know, like nothing made sense.

Nothing I did made a difference.

So I need to sort it out
and someone to talk to.

You came to the right place.

Bridget felt a bit like that,
didn't she, Dr Bryant?

I can't discuss my other clients.

She was caught shoplifting.

A classic cry for help.

They were all looking for help.

They were all ashamed.

Gulveda was looking for help
with her sex addiction.

And Jimmy Case! He just wanted
to straighten his life out.

Sorry, I don't know
any of these people.

Oh, I think you do.

They found you in the phonebook.
They came to you.

You listened as they told you
their most intimate secrets.

Their addictions.
Who they were sleeping with.

Dr Hill, I know
you're looking for answers,

but I can't -

You took payment in cash.
Gave each one a private number,

then out of the blue
you'd call them.

You offered to meet.

Claimed it was all part of the
therapy. "Come now. Tell no-one."

I think your neighbour's sucked you
into his paranoid fantasy.

The first guy
you dumped in the lake.

He's Roger Bryant, isn't he?

There you go, Dr Hill.

Quick-fix therapy.

SHOUTING

Get back!

Tony, are you all right?
Yeah.

Just a little erotic asphyxiation.
I thought he was enjoying it.

Where's Chris Collins?
Where's Chris Collins?

Take the place apart.
Move it.

Armed police!

Police!

Clear.

What about this one? Get it open!

Found him!

Someone find a light.

Take his weight.
Someone get a medic.

Watch his neck. Hold his head.

Where's that medic?

Hold his legs.

Gently. Gently. Gently.

We've got a pulse.

Have you worked out what you'll say
to the magistrate?

Just have to promise
to behave myself.

Think that'll work?
No.

Do you want me
to address the court on your behalf?

I don't want you
to get involved, Alex.

You know what Bryant said?

He told me Rowland had sucked me
into his paranoid fantasy.

He was right. It doesn't matter
who you are or what you say,

give him the least excuse...

What?

'OK.'

We're here to review the terms
of the injunction and hear evidence.

Your Honour, my client would like
to address the court.

Yes.

I'd like to apologise for
my remarks the other day. Noted.

And I agree entirely
with whatever the court decides.

I'm happy to comply with
whatever order you see fit to make.

I'm sure we can come to
an arrangement that suits all of us.

Thank you, Dr Hill.
Wait a minute.

We'll come to you later.
I know what's going on here.

This has all been fixed.
Ask your client to be quiet please.

Anyone can see this pair
have rigged this behind my back.

Mr Rowland.
Call this justice?

This is not justice.
I'll have you struck off.

If you can't control your client -
I know my rights!

You look pleased.

I take it you won your court case.

Oh, just glad it's all over.

Living next
to a delusional schizophrenic,

surprised you can sleep.

Luckily for him
his condition's treatable.

I'm not sure about yours.

What should I call you?

'Can't call you Roger Bryant.

It took me a while
to track him down.'

Personal counsellor from
New Zealand. No immediate family.

Ha! Counsellor!

I knew more
about human nature when I was ten.

It's amazing.

Any idiot can call themselves
a counsellor.

The punters line up
to tell their dirty little secrets.

So desperate for attention they'll
do almost anything you tell them.

They're like pets.

Is that how you treated your pets
when you were young?

Ever see a cat with one leg
try to walk?

It's hilarious.

'So...

who are you?

Where are you from?'

Does it matter?

Yes.

I'm going to be in
charge of your case. Yes.

Call me Michael.

I'm a fallen angel.

You don't believe in quick fixes,
do you, Tony?

No, I don't.
Pity.

Because between you and me

I'm not planning to stick around.

Where are you?
I have a dead prostitute.

At a conference. Two days
of lectures. Mind psychologists.

Not as exciting as it sounds.

He forced the shower head down
her throat. Turned the water on.
