Original subtitles

Hannah Kielty.

The bastard who took her

did it in exactly the same way as they did Trudy Hibbert.

I was innocent.

(SCREAMS)

We've seen this before.

There is an unusual staining around the mouth.

This card on her body. A number two.

That...

is an execution.

My gut against your head.

Sounds like a fair contest.

I know I said I was leaving but I have a perfectly good excuse.

Diana and Sonia were on the jury. Yes!

They said, "Not guilty".

They let Paul Gregory go free

and now they're being made to eat their words.

You still haven't told me what this is about.

Two years ago you were on a jury, Mrs Lawson.

Jean?

Oliver Hibbert won't talk to us.

I'll have to arrest him.

What would have been justice? Life.

Guilty with a life sentence.

I'd like to make a statement!

I want to confess to murder.

I told you!

I killed them.

Paul Gregory did not do it. He did not kill the three women jurors.

All right, Tony, I hear you.

He didn't do it, he's the wrong man. Can you shut up? You're not helping.

I should release him because you say so?

Just saying he didn't do it.

Three women are dead, women who said he was not guilty.

Brandon and the press are screaming for an arrest.

Let me go to Oldbridge and talk to Hannah Kielty. Why?

Because if he abducted her then she's the only one to survive meeting him.

Knowing how he operates, we can prove or disprove his admission.

I thought she hadn't spoken since the attack.

Even more reason to go.

You sure you don't want a solicitor? No.

OK. Let him sweat for a few hours, then take his flat apart.

ANGRY SHOUTING

Keep them out.

Don't rush. We don't want to miss anything.

We've got plenty of time.

He's not going anywhere.

Don.

You know Hannah was released here.

You know where she was taken

but you don't know what happened to her.

She hasn't spoken since.

No-one can get her to talk about it.

We have an idea from how her clothing was ripped.

Ripped?

Any semen? Other DNA?

She was tested? Yeah, she was, yeah.

No, couldn't find anything on her.

One reason why we couldn't charge Gregory.

The clothes ripped? Across or down? Downwards.

When she was found, shoes on or off?

She was barefoot, we never found her shoes.

Her knickers were missing as well, weren't they?

Where'd you get all this? The perpetrator.

He is what he does to his victims.

He knew the area, so why here? Why this road?

Why didn't he kill her?

I had my counterpart from Oldbridge on the line.

It would've been nice to have known what he was talking about.

Tony and Annie are pursuing the Paul Gregory inquiry.

I squared it with their team head. At least his arrest should outweigh

the Hibbert embarrassment. He's in custody, at last.

How long he's there is open to question.

He's made a confession. A simple admission. No more, no less.

Don't tell me he's not the man. We have to be open

to that possibility, yes. With evidence there's a charge.

And if there's no evidence?

I'm sure you don't want us imprisoning the wrong man.

In Paul Gregory's case I could make an exception. You find out,

one way or the other. Don't let him

make a fool of us, hm?

I need something else from you.

We need to go through Gregory's past convictions

and whether any had the smallest element of torture about them.

CAROL: Why, what are you thinking?

I cannot wait.

I have to make a start.

I have to go.

Is she going to be all right?

Whatever happened to Hannah

is locked in her head, playing over and over like a loop of video.

She needs to get it out.

Yes, but is she going to be all right?

I give you my word, I'll take care of her.

I have nothing to add to the statement I've given.

Charge me.

I'll charge you when I'm ready.

Much as you like to think otherwise, I'm running this investigation.

What we're going to do, Hannah, is talk.

And we're only going to talk as much as you want to.

The minute I ask you something you don't want to tell me

or inside it feels uncomfortable

just raise a few fingers on your right hand.

That's all.

Want to practise that?

What do you do if you don't want to talk to me?

That's excellent.

Now, when you do that, you don't have to answer.

We'll go back, we'll talk about something you're comfortable with.

It means you're in charge.

You can boss me about.

You admit to killing Sonia Brooks, Diana Nolan and Francine Jeromies?

I do.

What is it about children that you like, Paul?

What's it like to have the sexual urge to inflict pain on a child?

Is that why you killed the jury?

You blamed them for not stopping you hurting children?

So you came out of your friend's house. What did you see?

That's OK,

go back into the house where you were playing.

What was it you were doing?

Drawing. Whilst you were drawing

Mummy rang you and asked you to come back for tea.

So you came out of the house?

I crossed the road.

I heard someone call my name.

Hannah Kielty was one victim too far, wasn't she, Paul?

What was it that made you hate yourself?

Did she scream?

Cry?

Did she suddenly become a person to you?

What is it, Paul?

Do you disgust yourself?

I've... I've nothing to add to my statement.

He said...

He said Mummy had asked him to pick me up

cos she'd gone home.

What did he look like?

Hannah was the one that made you feel something.

Whereas Trudy Hibbert, she just... rejected you.

I didn't kill Trudy Hibbert.

What was it about Hannah Kielty, Paul?

He started shouting at me.

And...made me take off my shoes.

Can you describe him for me?

What was it about Hannah?

I didn't touch Hannah Kielty!

He had...

white hair.

I don't know who she is.

He...

He looked a bit like Grandad.

I didn't touch her.

He was...

old.

I've never seen her.

Dr Hill.

Did he...?

I mean, did he... No.

Thank you.

I'm pleased to be out of a police cell and back home with my family.

Except that not all my family are here to greet me.

Something which you were all too keen to cover three years ago.

Well...nothing has changed.

Our daughter is still dead

and her killer is still free. We won't rest

until Trudy's killer has faced justice.

So where does that leave us?

Paul Gregory's lying.

And our killer's still out there.

The signature of Hannah's abduction was torture.

That's what satisfied the fantasy.

That's why I asked if Paul Gregory was inclined to torture. He wasn't.

All of which means he didn't abduct her.

How does this disprove his admission?

If Gregory was killing them, he'd be driven by self-disgust.

The signature of these killings is revenge.

For Trudy?

Hm.

Look at his previous offences -

burglary, indecent exposure to children and...gross indecency -

not stepping stones for these killings.

Which means Paul Gregory could be a target as well? Yeah.

What about the Trudy Hibbert murder? He was found not guilty.

There is the possibility the jury were right.

His post-offence behaviour between the murder and arrest

doesn't indicate guilt.

On the contrary, he didn't move, he didn't run.

He'd just moved to Bradfield. People operate in environments they know.

At the time, he didn't know Bradfield.

When you mentioned Trudy's name in questioning, how was he?

Angry? Frustrated?

Upset. Emotional.

Flatly denied killing her.

Unless he's anything but the textbook case,

the world's been wrong all along.

I don't believe he killed her.

OK.

How persecuted would YOU feel?

I'm abused in the street,

I have things thrown at me.

Dog shit, paint.

Abusive phone calls. Threats.

Windows smashed. Bricks dropped on my van.

Firebombs. You confessed

to get off the street? When you're meant to have done

what I'm meant to have done...

They want me dead. The threats.

Do they put them in writing? Ah, yeah.

Yeah, it's spelled out clearly what I can expect.

I'd like to see them. I burn them.

Ah. How are they written? By hand?

Computer?

Typed. Nice, neat and exceptionally detailed.

I'm going to die for my crimes.

Give Gregory police protection?

Yes, sir. Why?

As far as the killer's concerned, he's the main prize.

They want revenge, even though we know he's innocent.

You're saying Gregory did not kill Trudy Hibbert?

Yes, sir. You're certain?

Yes.

The rope in his flat? Forensic was negative,

completely different fibres. He's a convenient suspect.

But he did not kill the jurors.

WOMAN: They're coming.

MAN: Hey, get away from here!

ANGRY SHOUTING

Back off! Off!

Back off!

SHOUTING

Open the door!

Back off!

BANGING ON DOOR

KEYS THUD

PEN SCRATCHES

I appreciate you coming, Mr Ashworth.

We know the killer was in the courtroom with you

and gained an intimate knowledge of you and the rest of the jury.

What I want to hear is what you saw.

Her parents.

You felt for them. Anyone to go through that.

Did you see anyone

taking notes, writing obsessively? Apart from the press, no.

I know you can't talk about the deliberations during the trial

or how you came to your verdict,

but did you notice, or was anything said that was unusual?

No. Nothing.

There was debate, as there is in all trials.

But in the end it was fairly unanimous.

I'm going home.

Shit!

No.

Shit!

Who we're after is in your system.

Somewhere, somehow, this person has made themselves known to you.

And in some way, you already know who they are.

They never draw attention to themselves. Keep this in your head,

like a mantra - ordinary, obsessive, regimented, routined.

Ordinary, obsessive, regimented, routined.

We're only one bit of evidence away.

Why didn't you tell me last night? I thought it could wait.

Tony, could the killer be a woman?

Of course.

Right.

I'm going to have to arrest Nicola Hibbert.

Get a warrant.

Guv?

Yep. With you in a second.

I need to go upstairs. Upstairs, downstairs -

the difference? Downstairs you present to the world,

upstairs says more about you.

Thank God you've never been in my bedroom. I mean...

I know what you mean.

KNOCK ON DOOR

CAROL: Mrs Hibbert. May we come in?

Back on the victimisation trail,

are we?

We believe you and Mr Hibbert have conspired

to commit arson, endangering life

and property. You don't learn, do you?

I want to ask where you were last night.

Is he home? No, he's at work, you know that.

How long's this been going on?

This personal vendetta

against Paul Gregory?

Don't mention his name in my house!

Not in there!

Get out of there!

Get out!

Get out of there! Get out of that room!

It's her birthday!

She's 14!

14!

Nicola?

Nicola! What have you done?!

Get off her! Get off! Come on.

All right.

How could you? Today of all days.

Downstairs. Go on, wait downstairs!

Sh-sh.

I just wanted him to be aware

of the miserable living hell we've been faced with.

I wanted him to know that...

maybe he could escape justice, but he couldn't escape me.

Wherever he went, I'd be there.

Following him.

Reminding him.

I wanted him to feel the pain.

And did you ever target any of the jurors on the case?

How could I? I didn't know who they were.

Anyway, it wasn't their fault. They didn't kill her. He did.

Tony?

Are you coming?

Brandon wants to see me.

They've lost confidence in you, Carol.

They're relieving you. When? After the weekend.

They hope things will calm down and they can announce your successor

in a positive light. Who?

DCI Boyle.

Media-friendly.

I'm sorry, Carol.

Are you?

When was the moment you realised the killing had to stop?

The first time I hated myself.

How did you cope with that feeling?

I didn't cope.

It overwhelmed me.

It was a tidal wave of revulsion.

All I saw were lifeless limbs and a suspended expression.

But you killed again.

The revulsion was weaker than the urge.

Or maybe the urge got stronger.

I became out of control, did things even I was ashamed of.

So where do I look?

Where you'd least expect it.

If I hadn't left the clues

no-one would have found me.

I was the person everyone overlooked.

Except you.

I'm only telling you this because it's you, Tony.

Because I love you.

And I know you love me.

Maybe you need to look from a wider angle.

Who feels they haven't been listened to? Who wrote to the papers?

Did the force get abusive mail? Yeah, we did.

A number of people sent us all sorts of stuff.

Spencer, look, do you mind?

I'm living this and for one moment each day

I'd really like to be who I am, not what I do.

Does that make any sense?

Gloriously.

Erm...

I was kind of including personal space in that.

Whatever.

That doesn't rule out that thing you do to my neck, though.

This?

Mm.

PHONE RINGS

Carol Jordan.

How are you?

Er... I was just going to bed actually.

Oh, really?

I'm just going through what the jury said and...

ploughing through court records.

Do you want me to come over?

If you want to.

I'll be there in a bit.

Thanks.

Maybe it's not just one person, maybe it's two.

Mm.

Is that possible? Could it be a couple?

When two people kill, they feed off each other.

We'd see more of an escalation with each death. Here it's minor only.

Within each death,

we'd see an exploration of two different people.

A foreplay.

Exactly.

Each person teasing the other to go further.

And that's not here?

Here there's repression. Our killer lives in a defined set of parameters.

A dominant and subservient relationship.

Dominance and submission.

It makes the world go round, present in every relationship.

Every relationship? In degrees, in light and shade.

Even you and your lawyer. One will be dominant, the other submissive.

Which am I? Dominant.

I suspect you hardly go to him, he always comes to you.

I suspect you decide when you meet, and eventually, YOU...

will decide the fate of the relationship.

But you don't know that. No, the manner of denial confirms it.

OK, then, so what about between us?

You and me? Yeah.

You said every relationship.

It's a tough one. That's why I asked.

Turmoil.

Small turf wars.

Each person fighting the other for submission

or to be the most submissive.

We're ruling out a couple, then?

Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks.

How long is this going to go on? Not long.

We're getting closer to the person responsible by the hour.

Look, I know this is difficult but...

we want you to be safe, Mrs Lawson.

The...others have all been women? Try not to think about it.

It's not going to happen.

KEYS THUD

Mr Elliot?

Ken Elliot, 60-year-old widower.

Bagged, taped, bound and strangled.

Newspaper soaked in petrol.

He was also repeatedly stabbed in the leg with scissors

and had his skull fractured by a blunt instrument.

Could have been a way to get him to eat what he didn't want to.

They used petrol to terrorise, changed sex, more violence.

This is a major departure for them. Why not Jean Lawson?

I thought they were wiping out the women first.

What is it we are missing here?

What is it we're not seeing? Nothing.

What we've just seen is incredibly significant.

Tell me. All of it.

What have we just seen? The beginning of the end.

What's happening is the escalation in violence is borne out of frustration.

But the end is in sight, Carol.

Next will be Paul Gregory or... Jean Lawson.

Oh, I've forgotten something.

Can I leave this with you?

Gravy granules.

Where's the trolley?

BELL RINGS

BELL RINGS

Are you going to the stationers, David?

No, I'll go later.

We need to turn left here.

What on earth's happened there?

I don't know. Maybe some kind of domestic.

Guv. Tony.

Scene-of-crime videos.

OK. What you see here is the scene of crime

of Francine Jeromies.

And here is the arrival

of a navy blue Rover.

Drive past 9:07.

And look, the end of the road

where Ken Elliot was murdered.

The time here - 9:10.

The same car. You're sure?

It's the same car. Right, find the owner.

CAR LOCK BLEEPS

Guv. We've got the registered owner.

David Lawson.

It's Jean's husband. She's living with the killer.

What does he do? Did do.

Early retirement. He was an auditor.

Mundane, ordered, repetitive. What else?

They met at work, working together.

She was in a number-crunching department.

Where'd you get this? Kevin. He's living with them.

RINGS

JEAN: Phone!

Thanks.

Hello?

Don't identify it's us you're speaking to, OK?

Er...yeah.

Kevin, it's Tony.

Are the Lawsons with you in the room?

Not at present, but it might be likely at any time.

I want you to be my eyes in that house, do you understand?

OK.

I want you to go into the living room.

Yeah?

Are there any books on the wall? What, you mean on shelves?

No.

How would you describe the house? Normal, untidy, neat,

or obsessive?

Er...the latter.

If it's possible, can you give me an example of that?

TV Times folded to today's date.

More than that.

This isn't a good room for that. What's going on here?

I'll tell you, just do as I ask.

Sorry. Who was that?

Kevin?

When you've finished. Might take some time.

Just wondered where Jean was. Upstairs, I think.

Thanks.

Kevin, was that David Lawson?

It was. He's just come home.

Been out getting stationery. Stationery?

I tell you,

the roads get busier every day.

I'll make you a cup of tea.

Oh, Jeez.

Yeah, absolute straight lines.

Portions of stuff, boxed up.

I mean, everything has a label.

Er...I was looking for the coffee.

It's the third jar from the left in the end cupboard.

You have to switch it on at the wall.

Right.

What's going on?

How's the world of law and order?

We pick him up. What for?

Suspicion of having a neat house (?) He's the man we want.

He fits your profile, come on! Yes, he does.

But? There's something missing.

What's driving him?

Why kill a group of which your wife is a member? She should be a victim!

He thinks she's not to blame. Get him back.

Will someone tell me what the hell is going on?

Or are you leaving it to my imagination?

Kevin, is there a study in the house?

Yeah, upstairs. I haven't been in.

I need you to have a look.

The person will have detailed diaries of the killings.

They feel they haven't been listened to so they've written it down.

What exactly am I looking for?

You'll know when you see it.

A book, journal, it won't be hidden.

This person thinks what they're doing is right so it'll be to hand.

I'll try. I'll call you back.

What are you expecting?

The more I reason with it, the more certain it becomes.

What? The verdict.

When Gregory was found not guilty.

JEAN: We need some milk.

Does anyone want anything from the shop?

No, but that's OK. You go.

Make sure you take Bob with you, Jean.

BOB?! It's all right, he's here!

TONY: You in? Yeah.

It won't be far.

Think where you would reach to. Describe anything you suspect.

KEYS THUD

(BREATHLESS) There's tape here. Rolls of it.

(BREATHLESS) It's him, Tony.

It's him.

What are you doing? TONY: Kevin, it's not him!

It's her! How can it be her?

Paul Gregory was found not guilty by a majority verdict - 11 to one.

One person believed him to BE guilty - Jean Lawson!

Good God!

375 to control, over.

SIREN WAILS

Where will she go, Tony? Gregory. He's all she's got left.

JEAN: Eat, eat.

Eat, eat.

This is for Trudy.

(STRUGGLES) Sweet, innocent Trudy.

Did we do it?

Has he served his punishment? Get her out of here.

You know I'm right. It was him!

I hate myself for believing you.

Tony?

Tony?

You OK?

I don't think so.

Tell Merrick he's a better man than me.

Will you let me give you a lift? Not now, Carol.

I need the air.

Even she was right. Still doesn't excuse the murder

of four people, though, does it? I believed him.

I'll come and see you later. I don't know when...

I don't care. I'm coming over.

What about Spencer?

It's over.

Why didn't you tell me?

I did.

Just not in words.

You just couldn't read my mind.
