Messiah (2001) s04e01 Episode Script

No! No! Rachel! Please let me in.
Rachel.
Open the door.
Please, Rachel.
Love.
It's all right.
Rachel! - Please.
- Daniel.
Let me in.
Open the door.
Please.
Please.
Rachel.
I'm coming over.
No, no.
No, you did the right thing.
Okay.
The only people who can sort this out are Jack and Rachel.
I know that.
Izzy's dead, Jack.
This isn't gonna bring her back.
Why would lzzy do it, Red? You okay? Okay.
What time is he on duty? - I don't know.
- Eight.
He said he started at 8.
I'll see he gets some sleep.
Look, getting through these things takes some time.
You know what this is? It's a metaphor.
A metaphor for my life.
These are new shoes.
Well, the walk will break them in then.
Three-hundred pound on new boots, right? Sat across the table from a blind date.
Know what's going through my mind? Not if you spend 300 pounds on boots.
Most of the people who kill are men, most of the people who get killed are men.
I work with men solving crimes committed by men against men.
It's amazing what people throw away these days, isn't it? But inside I'm thinking: "ls he one of them men?" If some bloke took something of his, would he grind a broken bottle in his face? So no more.
You're right, Duncan.
New shoes symbolise hope, and I have no room for hope in my life.
I'm getting a bit of a sinking feeling myself.
What's-her-face never had this problem, did she? Kate? She had her moments.
Do you still hear from her? She wanted a complete break from the force.
Jesus Christ.
Get Red.
Vickie, get Red.
The guy from pest control said there was ten hives in the back.
That's anything between 20- to 40 thousand bees.
They think they've got rid of the immediate threat without contaminating the scene.
They think? They've never seen anything like this.
Gibson.
Come here with that crowbar.
Get this door open now.
Who could do that to another? Vickie.
See beyond the victim.
See the killer.
What about the van? Anything unusual? What, you mean apart from the bees, the maggots and the dead girl? The doors.
They've been stripped.
It's like a company logo or banner's been removed.
- And there's no registration plate.
- Probably a leased vehicle.
Well, find out the name of the firm and the person they leased it to.
Give me a glove.
"Save me.
" Save who? The victim? The killer? Catherine McArdle.
Queensborough College.
Go to the college.
Talk to tutors, talk to fellow students, friends.
Any roommates, boyfriends she might have had trouble with.
Thank you.
Oh, Jesus.
Who's let--? She can't do this one.
I'll deal with it.
Tim told me it was bad.
I'd say welcome back, but I'll see what I can get on the parents.
I don't want this to be your first case back at work.
She's a student.
She's the same age as lsabel.
Look, once the inquest is I need to do this.
Thanks.
Same college as lsabel.
Isabel committed suicide, Vickie.
They're not connected.
What if I missed something at her crime scene? Look at the differences.
They're not connected.
Hi.
I'm looking for a Professor Uhomi, please.
Thank you.
Catherine McArdle's medical records.
That the parents? Catherine, 5 years old.
Bruising of the torso.
Twelve, broken arm.
Social Services looked at the father, talked to the mother.
She backed up his story.
Nobody charged? When did you last speak to your daughter, Mrs.
McArdle? We talked to her on the phone a couple of days ago.
But we hadn't seen her for a few months now.
Catherine was always studying for one exam or another.
She was very focused on doing well.
When she decided to do something, nothing would stop her.
Focused? Well, she studied so much.
She believed that by working hard now, it pays off later.
Nobody gives you nothing for free.
Not in this life.
Did she talk about her boyfriend? Other friends? You know what kids are like.
They get a bit of freedom, they lose your phone number.
Don't talk to you in the same way.
Neither of you feel that she was unhappy? Feeling threatened? Trouble of any kind? I don't think Cathy was unhappy.
I'm-- I haven't-- I haven't seen that.
Thank you.
Sorry for your loss.
He talks too much.
And not about the right things.
She's a bright student.
She's in the top 5 percent for the essays she actually submitted.
Her essay on the loss of feeling was really quite perceptive.
And she got on well with her fellow students? No complaints, trouble with drugs? Catherine and drugs? No, I don't think so.
Well, at least not while she was here, anyway.
While she was here? Catherine McArdle dropped out of university six weeks ago.
Got the address of the student house she was staying at.
- Forensics will meet us there.
- Okay, well done.
Catherine McArdle lost her focus.
Come in.
Mr.
Eccleshall? DS Clarke.
Oh, of course.
Vickie, isn't it? Is this about lsabel's inquest? Do you have any psychology students in your literature classes? I don't think so.
Why? Well, it's probably a coincidence.
Catherine McArdle wasn't in any of lsabel Price's classes, was she? I don't think so.
Let me check for you.
So that's Catherine.
K or C? C.
I'd be lost without this thing.
She's not in any trouble, is she? Okay, here we go.
No.
Sorry.
No, that's fine.
Thanks.
The press are looking for a statement.
We'll give the victim's name, age and that she's a student.
Nothing about the signature.
Or the manner of death.
What about the students? Kept herself to herself, stayed in her room.
They didn't know she'd dropped out.
Not quite as industrious as Daddy thought.
We're different people with our parents, aren't we? Which is Catherine's room? Straight to the top of the stairs.
Her mobile was charging.
She got a call, 3:45 yesterday.
No caller lD.
We're doing a reverse billing to trace the number.
Can you bag this later? I only caught the tail end of it.
She was having an argument with someone.
A woman.
I guess they heard the door close and decided to tone it down.
I don't make a habit of listening to people's business.
I don't suppose you got anything useful.
Description, car registration? Look, I don't respond well to negativity.
And you have a very negative aura.
She looked-- She dressed more expensive than Catherine.
You know.
Red coat, nice shoes, I don't know, smarter.
When you say smarter, do you mean she dressed older? No, I mean she didn't live around here.
Catherine left about 1 0, 1 5 minutes after her.
- Did she have any boyfriends? - Didn't see the recent one.
I heard him plenty, if you know what I mean.
Is there gonna be a reward for this? Believe it or not, this lap of wanton luxury don't come for free.
They're here.
Who's here? Get him back! Mrs.
McArdle.
Mr.
McArdle, could you wait inside the car, please? Cathy.
Mrs.
McArdle.
You saw that she was lost.
That she was unhappy.
How long had you known that she'd dropped out of university? Well, it was only for this year.
She came to see me.
She needed money to pay for She was going to go back next year.
She say she wanted to take a year off? No, she wouldn't say.
She was worried if her father found out she'd dropped out.
She thought she was protecting me.
Where's McArdle? Can you think of anyone who might want to harm her? I can't think who that might be.
You can't think? Or you're too scared to think? Was she afraid of her father? She was scared she'd let me down.
And all the time it was me who let her down.
She was trapped.
I didn't protect her and now she's dead and there's nothing I can do for her.
You can still free her.
What is it? Did you hurt her? - Did you kill her? - What? How could you think? - What have you said to her? - Let's step outside.
I should have saved my girl! What did you do? You're not fit to be her father! - I loved her! - You? You tore her in two! You tore her apart.
He tore her inside and I did nothing.
He was always there and I did nothing.
- I should rot in hell with her.
- Evelyn.
It's all right.
Cathy's not suffering now.
She's in heaven.
Oh, she's-- Oh, she's in-- My wife's very upset.
Just Focus on that, sir.
Do you recognise that address? It's a street near our house.
Your daughter got a call from a phone box in that street.
Where were you yesterday at 3:45? What? I was out walking the dog.
Just before work.
Enjoy your work, do you? Broken arm.
Bruising to the torso.
You recognise them? Catherine always had her nose in a book.
She tripped.
You told Social Services she fell off her bike.
Look, a book, a bike, what difference does it make? Yeah, you know what kids are like.
Broken arm, bruise or two.
Bet that focused her.
Look, I just need to speak to my wife.
Did you meet Catherine yesterday? No, of course not.
When's the last time you hit her? - You have no right.
- Did she decide to go to the police? I loved my daughter.
She decided to confront you.
She decided to tell you what she thought of you.
She decided she wasn't gonna take it anymore, and you couldn't stand that, could you? My daughter is dead.
Murdered by some And you just sit there, you think that Please, I just want to speak to my wife.
Did you know Catherine had a boyfriend? Where were you last night? I was at home.
Where you left me.
You don't know.
Know? Know what? Catherine McArdle is dead.
Right, if we can get cracking, please.
We've got a lot to get through.
All right everybody, listen up.
DC Clarke.
Catherine McArdle, former student at Queensborough College.
Three-thirty yesterday afternoon, an unidentified woman left Catherine's room after an argument.
Three-forty-five, Catherine gets a phone call from a phone box near her parents' house.
No prints.
No witnesses.
Mr.
McArdle was out of the house at the time.
Three-fifty-five, Catherine leaves her room.
She's never seen again.
We don't know where she was going.
We don't know who she met.
Mr.
McArdle denies meeting her.
So far, no sign of the boyfriend.
Did the woman she was arguing with wait outside and follow her? Did the verbal argument turn physical? One witness said a woman in a red coat bumped into him.
His description of her was, she was angry.
Well, that narrows it down, an angry woman.
Could a woman have done this? I don't see why not.
There were bruises to the back of the victim's head.
Knocked unconscious to get her into the van.
Or she knew the killer and she was knocked unconscious after she got in the van.
You think her father's responsible? I know, no matter how much he denies it, he physically abused her.
Was she sexually assaulted? We'll know more after the post-mortem.
What else do we know? Nothing out of the ordinary.
A string of jobs.
Secretary, till assistant, shelf-stacker, cashier.
She walked out or was fired from them all.
Didn't connect, fit in or care, was her employers' feeling.
Sounds like a student to me.
An ordinary person.
An extraordinary death.
Why bees? Why was she locked in a van with bees? This takes preparation.
The method means something to the killer.
Territorial and aggressive.
If a hive is threatened, the swarm marshal forces to attack.
Killing a single bee releases a scent causing the workers to retaliate.
The bee dies after it stings.
She had extensive stinging on her face, arms, legs, eyelids.
Her throat, tongue, covered in stings.
I couldn't count how many.
She would have felt every single sting until she either passed out with the pain or was unable to breathe.
She was conscious? Well Bruises on her arm suggest a struggle to escape.
She was stung to death.
Why remove the gaffer tape from her mouth? The killer wanted to hear her scream.
Or to allow the bees into the mouth.
Swollen tongue guarantees blocked airways, that guarantees death.
"Save me.
" Blood on the window was hers? Same blood type.
These pictures suggest the killer cut her and then used her blood.
If the killer uses her blood to write "save me," is he taunting us? She was alone.
Screaming for help.
She was breathing them in.
Screaming for someone, anyone to save her.
"Save me.
" From who? The killer? Or from what? The father, dig deeper.
Talk to neighbours, other relatives, friends, get back to the college.
Maybe the ex-boyfriend knows the current boyfriend.
We have got to find out who Catherine McArdle was arguing with and why.
Talk to her.
Talking is not gonna bring lzzy back, Red.
I'm sorry.
For everything.
You don't have to apologise for anything.
You lost a daughter.
Just do me a favour.
Talk to her.
- Sober.
- I know.
I'm going to.
Thanks.
I'll be out of your hair as soon as I can.
You stay as long as you need.
- Oh, that's smart, Jack, really smart.
- Queensborough College.
Izzy's college.
They were even in the same year.
What part of "pull yourself together" did you hear as "drinking on duty"? First lzzy and now this.
- That is not a coincidence.
- We've got to get out of here.
No, think about it.
What if the cases are linked? Jack, lsabel wasn't murdered.
Maybe lzzy didn't commit suicide.
Whoever killed McArdle killed lzzy first.
- What if lzzy was first? - Jack.
Maybe they pushed her off the building.
They made her jump.
The crime scenes are totally different.
She missed something.
Vickie may be green, but she's smart.
She knows nothing about life.
Suffering to her is only being able to afford a pair of shoes a week.
Jack, she's not stupid.
Red screwed up, giving her a case too soon.
Maybe if it was Sam dead in the ground, you'd think differently.
Maybe if she was assigned to your son.
Would you want her to speak for him, Duncan? Would you? Would you want his death in her hands? That's what I thought.
She can't speak for the dead.
She can't see what she needs to see.
And you know what the sad thing is? Look her in the eyes.
She knows it herself.
No.
You're wrong, Jack.
He's not supposed to be in here.
Yeah, I know, and I'm just giving him a lift back to Red's.
Come on then, Jack, let's get going.
I'll see you in the morning, okay? Tape 1, 7:15 a.
m.
Present in the room are myself, chief pathologist Rachel Price assisted by Tim Evans, and the police photographer.
Doing post-mortem of Catherine McArdle, age 20, psychology student.
Student at the college.
I'm about to cut into-- I'm about-- Excuse me.
Rachel.
Rachel, are you okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm-- Tim, I'm fine.
I'll be fine.
Just give me a minute.
I can tell them we have to delay the examination.
No.
I'll be fine, Tim.
Just give me a minute.
Rachel? - Okay? - Sorry.
Picking up where we left off.
Post-mortem of Catherine McArdle, age 20, psychology student, Queensborough College.
The throat is, as suspected, lined with stings.
Oh, my God.
Hundreds of them.
- I'll start the Y-incision.
- No sign of recent sexual activity.
- No semen.
- Saved by the bell.
No localised bruising.
- Yeah? - I'll send these swabs off to the labs, but I doubt you're gonna get a DNA hit.
Thank you.
Get uniform to raid the place.
The van was leased to a wholesale florist, Fullerton's Flowers, based in New Covent Garden.
And it seems Mr.
Fullerton hasn't reported the van missing.
For the benefit of the tape, I'm feeling inside the body.
To feel-- Rachel, something wrong? There is something in here.
- What do you mean? - What's going on? Scalpel.
What is it? It's a foetus.
She was pregnant.
Can I speak to Mr.
Fullerton? McArdle found out his daughter was pregnant, lost his temper.
If Catherine was pregnant, who's the first she's gonna tell? The father of the baby.
Thanks.
Fullerton isn't there.
He visits his wife every morning at St.
Sebastian's.
St.
Sebastian's? That's a hospice.
Hi.
You've got a patient, Mrs.
Claire Fullerton.
You couldn't tell us if her husband's with her? She looks like she's sleeping.
What time was Mrs.
Fullerton last checked? What time was she last checked? What about medication? She was self-medicating.
There should be a full day's dosage there.
It's empty.
Mr.
Fullerton.
Yes.
Don't tell me.
Forgot your anniversary, wife's birthday.
Technically I'm off-duty, but if it's an emergency, I can get the girl in the shop to bring in some flowers.
Do you have any family, Mr.
Fullerton, anyone we should contact? No.
Have you seen this woman before? Customer? Did she work for you? Who is this? I don't-- What's going on? Mr.
Fullerton.
We think your wife was murdered.
Murdered? No.
No, she was ill.
She had motor neurone disease.
You had a van stolen.
Didn't you notice? You never reported it missing.
Well, I'm with Claire most of the day.
I forgot.
It was leased.
About a month ago.
Claire rang up in the middle of the night.
She should be resting.
But she says she's got the answer.
Always had to have the answers, Claire.
She says it's cheaper if we lease the vans.
I said, "Cheaper?" You know, "What are we saving it for? We haven't got a family.
" We, we ha-- I told her to rest.
All the time she's not resting she-- I told her-- I told her to go to sleep.
The woman in the photograph was found dead in your van.
This must be some mistake.
You said that it was my wife who-- Is this because I didn't report the van? It's all my fault.
- Dad, Mum said-- - Tell your mother I still live here.
What are you doing? Stop it.
Stop it.
You're wrecking everything.
Okay, son.
It's okay.
Calm down.
Calm down.
Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to frighten you.
Promise.
Everything's gonna be all right.
I'm gonna find out what happened to lzzy.
We're still living, Dad.
Do we have to die before you listen to us? You're more interested in the dead than the living.
Daniel.
Danny.
Two women dead.
Same time of day.
Same gashes.
Same signature.
"Save me.
" Written in the victim's blood by the killer.
Totally different methods of death.
Catherine McArdle.
Stung by bees.
Died in agony.
Claire Fullerton.
Overdosed with morphine.
Passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Why? If Catherine's killer is the father of her child, or if it's the woman she had the argument with, why would they kill Claire Fullerton? Are they trying to throw us off? Fullerton? Claire Fullerton? Can I access my computer from here? - Do you know her? - I don't know.
I think so.
I did a post-mortem about ten years ago on a-- On a Mary Fullerton.
Type in your password.
I was a path assistant at the time.
She was found strangled.
Her mother was a gardener or something.
She ran a flower shop.
Parents.
Harry and Claire Fullerton.
My daughter went out to a disco one night.
And she never came back.
You never recover after losing a child.
The best you do is learn to get on with life.
Claire.
She stopped living that day.
It's like she was stuck in limbo.
The man who killed your daughter died in prison.
Never said why.
That's what upset Claire.
We never got an answer.
We laid flowers at the place where he killed her, every week.
Did your wife come to work in your business after your daughter died? Claire joined me after six mo-- Well, a year, now.
Thought, nothing keeping us in London now, after-- Claire couldn't let go.
We did more for Mary after her death than ever we did when she was living.
Excuse me.
What did Claire do before she came to work with you? She was a gardener at the university.
We know the university is now a link between Catherine McArdle and Claire Fullerton.
- Yes? - Yeah.
Could they have known each other? Ask the university to send staff files to the incident room.
Maybe there's something we're not seeing.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Dl Price, despite what the prospectus likes to say about pastoral care, I don't even know all my own first-year students.
Catherine wasn't in any of my classes.
Izzy was in your class.
You would have seen her about.
Well, yes, but I don't know if Catherine knew lsabel.
Did you ever see her talking to Catherine? Did they ever sit together in the canteen? Did they hang out with the same group of people? I really don't know, Mr.
Price.
Julia, very good work.
Mary, not bad.
Okay, people, where were we? Did you all read The Road to Wigan Pier? Her brain shows signs of degeneration and atrophy.
You do know she had motor neurone disease? Great.
Well, that's-- That's great.
Like we don't have enough to do here.
Why kill someone who's gonna be dead in what, a few weeks? Days? Why have we come back? Forensics said the room was clear.
The van led us to the Fullertons.
The killer led us here.
Why stop? What are we looking for? TV was on.
Today, here we are at West London.
Just down the road from where Look, there's fingerprint dust all over the place.
The forensics guys have pulled the aerial out by accident.
There was static on the TV when we came in.
The killer left a trail.
Okay, listen up.
Tech have looked at the video.
They tell us we're looking for a Mercedes van series 208.
We know what we're looking for.
Let's get looking.
Car parks, lay-bys.
Come on, you know the drill.
Any abductions or attempted abductions in the past few days? Nothing matching the description of the women in the video.
I want us to go through all the records that we have.
This won't be the first time that our man has tried this.
The killer has abducted four women successfully that we know of.
But the first time, the real first time, he probably screwed it up.
They always do.
Any connection between Catherine McArdle and Claire Fullerton? Catherine McArdle's last-known boyfriend.
Got himself dumped three months ago, doesn't know who for.
Seems whoever she was having a new relationship with, they were trying to keep it a secret.
Somebody found out.
Catherine McArdle yesterday, Claire Fullerton today.
If these two aren't dead already, they will be by morning.
Vickie, you've got a call from someone called Joyce.
It's on Line 3.
Hi, Joyce.
Yeah, tell my dad I'll be back as soon as I can.
Yeah, you might have to remind him.
You know how he is.
I really appreciate this, Joyce.
Thanks.
- Everything all right? - Yeah, nothing I can't manage.
I'm just going through lsabel's stuff for the inquest tomorrow.
Hello.
Mum.
So sorry for your loss.
The area was cordoned off when I arrived.
At that stage, lsabel's injuries and the position of her body indicated she had fallen from a height.
Was a suicide note ever found? She didn't leave a note, no.
However, it is our-- It is my contention that she left a trail indicating clear and reasoned thought.
To gain access to the roof, lsabel-- Miss Price climbed two flights of steps where she broke through a fire door onto the roof before-- Before she jumped.
When I searched the roof, I found her bracelet on the ledge.
How did she break the door? She broke the glass and released the catch.
And there were no other injuries to indicate the involvement of a third party? No, ma'am, there was no sign of a struggle of any kind.
Thank you, DS Clarke.
No, on the contrary, I'd have said that she was full of life.
Looking for answers.
Asking questions.
Now, I remember just a week or two before, I noticed a student crying in the canteen and I saw lsabel get up from her friends and go over and comfort this girl.
I don't think she even knew who she was.
But that's the type of person that lsabel was.
Whatever happened that day, the reason we're here I think it's only fair that something like that should be remembered.
The manner of her death can't be allowed to reflect on how she lived her life.
Just came in.
The van was stolen three days ago.
We're on our way over there now to interview the owner.
We've checked female friends, relatives, neighbours of Catherine McArdle and Claire Fullerton.
Anybody with a link to the college.
Nobody's missing.
Isabel was not distressed in the run-up to her death.
The family liaison officer has noted that there was nothing in the life of the family to warrant such extreme action.
This was a family doing what any loving family does.
Getting on with life.
Given the extreme action and steps that lsabel took to end her life, it is incumbent on me to find a verdict of suicide.
No! Officer.
- She was murdered! - Sir, please.
It was someone with a grudge against students.
- Sir.
- Against the university.
Christ's sakes, Rachel, you must see she was the first victim.
She missed something.
She missed something.
What did you miss? What did you miss? What did you miss? Got what you wanted? What I wanted? You think I wanted to be there? You think I wanted to sit there, hearing them talk, Iistening to what they said might've been wrong with her? What I wanted-- - I want lzzy to be alive again, Jack.
- She didn't kill herself.
She committed suicide, Jack.
She killed herself.
Get this door open now.
Cordon the area.
No one leaves, no one gets in.
Names, addresses, number plates, come on.
I'd say they've been dead since this morning.
I mean, I'll check with Rachel, but l-- I think they were alive when they were-- I've never seen anything like this.
And they've been joined in the thighs, in the groin.
Looks like they're kissing.
They've been hooked through the throat to each other.
Meat hooks.
Well, the killers reversed the van back here onto the bridge.
Opened the doors, chained them to the railing, dumped them over the side.
Then parked the van back down in the car park.
The signature's in the van.
Paula Scott, Tamzin Green.
Were they lovers? Is that why--? What's that? It's got a gem missing.
But it's definitely a man's ring.
Why leave it here? Unless that leads to our next victim.
The van was moved.
Did anyone see the driver? Put out an appeal.
Television, local radio.
Newspapers.
Hey, hey, hey.
- You okay? - Yeah, of course.
It's just-- You'll get used to it.
I'm not sure you're supposed to.
Stephanie Baker? Everyone calls me Steph.
I'm afraid we've got some bad news.
Stephanie Steph? I'm afraid there's no easy way to say this.
Your partner Paula Scott's been murdered.
Stephanie? How long have you lived with Paula? - Steph, your partner-- - Sorry, but I haven't got time for this.
This is all-- - The last time you saw Paula? - Four days ago.
Your partner's been missing for four days, and you never reported her missing? I didn't report her missing because she wasn't missing.
Paula's a travel rep.
They travel.
We can do this at the station.
She was supposed to be in Scotland.
She was supposed to be at a conference.
What am I supposed to do, presume she's a liar? Is that all? I've got work to do.
Yeah, don't let your partner being killed ruin your day.
I'm afraid there's no way to tell the exact time of death, due to the conditions the bodies were found in.
But, yes, the blood spurts in the van and round the wounds certainly indicate they were alive when they were hooked together.
Different deaths.
Different backgrounds.
So the only thing they have in common is the signature, "Save me.
" So we know it's the same killer.
- And all the victims are women.
- So far.
What about the ring? We've drawn a blank with local jewellers.
All they could tell us was that it might be foreign.
And we're going through missing persons files for the last month, Iooking for descriptions of personal items.
They were alive when they were hooked together.
Are Paula and Tamzin being punished because they were unfaithful? Is that what these murders are about? Is it punishment? Vickie, get on to Forensics.
Get them to lay out everything bagged from Catherine McArdle's flat.
- All of it? - Yes! All of it! Too close to home? You knew Paula was having an affair, didn't you? Where were you last night, Steph? There was no conference in Scotland, was there? Steph.
There's no shame in admitting she was having an affair.
You found Paula with Tamzin, didn't you? I wish to God I had.
- If I'd found them, I wouldn't have-- - And what? You killed them? I wouldn't have lost her for good.
It'd be different if it was the first time Paula had-- Do you know what it's like to watch somebody disappear in front of your eyes? Seven years together and she-- Are you done here? Steph.
What? I bought them in a shop.
Does this look the sort of thing Catherine would wear? Hand-painted silk.
"New Life Designs.
" Artist's workshop in the East End.
Expensive.
Smarter.
Angry woman in the expensive coat.
- Your credit-card receipt was-- - Your credit-card receipt-- Mrs.
White, your credit card receipt was found among stolen credit cards.
- Could you confirm a purchase? - Mrs.
Baxter, your credit card receipt was found amongst some stolen credit cards, can you confirm a purchase from New Life Designs? Eccleshall.
Just so we can get info now that it's not-- The Eccleshall receipt.
Where's the Eccleshall receipt? - What was her first name? - Grace.
She wasn't in.
I'm trying to tell her.
- Grace.
- Just hang on.
Grace Eccleshall.
We have a problem.
The scarf we found in Catherine's room belongs to a Grace Eccleshall.
How is that a problem? She's Richard Eccleshall's wife.
Richard Eccleshall was also lsabel Price's tutor.
What, you think he killed her? If he was Catherine's boyfriend, he could be the father of her baby.
So there may be a link between Catherine and lsabel.
But lsabel wasn't murdered.
But if lsabel's tutor is the murderer, I don't want Rachel to hear about this.
Lose something? So you went around to Catherine's flat to what? Compare notes? I went around and told her that I knew.
Knew what? She wasn't his first and she needn't make plans to be his last.
So how often does this happen? Once a year.
Twice? Dozen times? That's our business.
Not when your scarf turns up in the flat of a murder victim.
He wasn't gonna leave me for her.
So you admit that you threatened her? I asked her to back off.
She wouldn't listen, we argued and I left.
- What did you argue about? - About her hassling Richard.
Look, it was over in about 1 5 minutes.
That was the last time I saw her.
Now, I've told you everything I know.
Sit down, Grace.
You went in his place and did his dirty work for him.
- How dare you? - Did you follow Catherine - after she left her room? - She wanted to take him away.
You don't just give up on someone you love.
You fight tooth and nail for them.
- Would you kill for them? - Oh, for God's sake.
Yeah, we understand you're offended.
Did you wait and follow Catherine after she left her room? Did you call her? I went to work, I gave a lecture and then I spoke to Richard.
Did your husband call her? She was pestering him.
Why would he call her? - Where did you go after Catherine's? - I went to a lecture.
Then I came back here, collected some clothes and I went to stay with my sister.
- You were angry with him? - Yes.
You wanted to teach him a lesson.
I wanted some space.
Now, I've told you everything I know.
When did you get back? This afternoon.
Your sister will confirm you've been staying with her for three days? I've told you everything I know.
Now I'd like you to leave, please.
Did Catherine tell you she was pregnant? There's no proof it was his.
Did you tell Richard? She didn't love him.
I do.
So the intellectual structure is in place by the third section.
And where paradise offers us salvation and reward.
Salvation and reward for those who believe.
What is--? What is going on? Richard Eccleshall, I am arresting you on suspicion of murder.
We know you were sleeping with Catherine McArdle.
We know Catherine wanted you to leave Grace for her.
Yes, but-- We know you wanted to get rid of Catherine but she wouldn't listen.
Grace talked to her.
It was fine.
You call this fine? Did you and Grace kill her together? Was that part of the arrangement as well? We want to do a DNA test, Richard.
- What for? - You're the lecturer, work it out.
Catherine was pregnant.
No.
No, she-- She couldn't have been.
The baby died when she died.
She would have told me.
You don't see women as people, do you? You just see them as objects to be picked up and tossed aside at the end of the year.
Where were you in the early hours of Monday morning? I was at home.
While Grace was at her sister's? I've never seen that woman before in my life.
Really? She used to work at the college.
Your college.
Where were you on Tuesday night? I was at home.
While Grace was at her sister's? Where were you the night before last? At home.
While Grace was at her sister's? I've never seen them before.
Who does this belong to? I want my lawyer.
Who does the ring belong to, Richard? I've traced the ring.
I've matched the description of the ring to a recent missing persons report.
John Giardello, 46, Italian restaurant owner, North London.
He's been missing for six days.
His wife Emma made the report.
Get a photo and description circulated.
- We have to find him.
- I think he's found you.
Can we trace this? Do it.
Please help me.
Help me, please.
How long has he got? He's in pain.
If he's got no water, a few days.
Metal walls.
A van.
Hold of a ship.
What about Computer Forensics? In geek heaven, apparently.
They're going through the killer's message frame by frame.
Giardello drove to the bank with the takings from the restaurant.
The money was never lodged.
His car is missing.
Six days.
He could be dead already.
If he's dead already, why send an e-mail? This wasn't left at the scene of the crime.
This was sent directly to me.
Your e-mail address is on the LMP web page.
It was sent via a chain of re-mailers.
Thailand, Turkey, Russia.
Can it be traced? Re-mailers scrub the computer's lP address to ensure complete anonymity.
Where is he? - Who? - John Giardello.
I'm giving you one chance to help us save him.
I've never seen him before in my life.
This is your evidence? Come on, we're going.
- Wait! - DCl Metcalfe! He's still alive, Richard.
And while he's alive, that counts in your favour.
Hang on.
You've just received these.
- My client was in custody.
- They were sent by a re-mailer.
They're given specific instructions where and when to send their e-mails.
Evidence to back up that accusation? Search his computer.
- How long you gonna hold my client? - As long as it takes.
There's a needle-puncture mark to the arm.
Hello? Red.
Yeah, I'll get Rachel for you.
Oh, okay.
In an hour.
- What did he want? - He didn't say.
I've tried to keep busy, but I'm so tired, always fearing the worst.
Well, sometimes it's hard not to fear the worst.
Your husband drove to the bank on Saturday? John does the night lodgement.
The week's takings were just over 3,000 pounds.
Last time I saw him.
Put your heart and soul in a place.
Break your back night and day.
English, speak English.
Do you recognise this man, Mrs.
Giardello? A customer maybe? A friend of your husband's? No.
I don't think so.
I mean, if he's only eaten here once or twice-- Mum? It's okay, Franco.
They're looking for your father.
See, I told you.
It's gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be okay.
I expect you do your accounts on computer.
We need to take them with us.
It's just routine.
Do you know your dad's password? Well, I set it up for him, didn't l? His computer's upstairs.
- Giovanni is dead, isn't he? Isn't he? - Stop talking like that.
- She always sees the worst.
- No, I know what I want to be true-- That's a nice photograph.
Who's he? - That's my uncle Rico.
- I gave birth to Giovanni.
- Black sheep of the family.
- His name is John.
Family's important at times like these.
Signora Giardello.
Your dad never mentioned he was being followed? Never felt like he was being watched? Look.
He walked out on us, all right? That's what happened.
One minute he was here, the next he-- He emptied the till and he-- Look, you know what? Just-- Good riddance.
When you reported your husband missing, you mentioned a ring.
Yeah.
I bought John a diamond-studded ring on our honeymoon.
Yes.
He lost a gem on the right side last year.
I said to John: "We bought it when we were broke and we'll fix it when we're broke.
" Yes.
Mum? No.
You stay here.
You don't have to do this.
Best seat in the house.
We need you to confirm that this is your husband.
Anything-- Anything at all that you can see that can help us to find him.
Oh, God.
Shall we get you a cup of tea, coffee? Come on, let's go to the family room.
I'm sorry.
We've put a pipe in your system.
It lets us monitor everything coming and going into your account.
You've no shameful surfing to hide, DCl Metcalfe, do you? Anyway, the e-mail you received is a video file.
Lucky for us, it's like any other computer file.
Soon as it's saved onto a hard drive, it stores information.
This one was created two days ago.
- Anything else? - Plenty.
It was filmed using a domestic digital camera.
Fairly standard resolution.
The video's been compressed using a Sorenson Codec.
Anything useful? The walls might be stainless steel.
Curved.
Police stations make me nervous.
I want you to do a DNA test on a suspect.
Okay.
- But why me and not Rachel? - The suspect is known to Rachel.
He may be the father of Catherine McArdle's child.
Richard Eccleshall.
He was lsabel's tutor at college.
He spoke at her inquest.
You're asking me to lie to Rachel? Will this hurt? It's a painless procedure.
Sir.
You won't feel a thing.
Giardello's and Eccleshall's computers are clean.
And Eccleshall is being bailed.
Circumstantial evidence, hearsay, this is not a fascist state.
Blah blah blah, the usual.
We can hang onto him for withholding evidence.
Let him go.
I can get him to talk by the end of the day.
We haven't got enough to charge him.
Put him under surveillance.
Discreetly.
Check his wife's computer as well.
McArdle, Fullerton, Green, Scott.
The list ends here.
We find John and we save him.
You screwed up, didn't you? I was right.
Isabel was murdered.
That's why Richard Eccleshall was here.
For the last time, Jack-- Red thinks he killed lsabel and Catherine, doesn't he? Do you mind? - Did you hear what I said? - I did.
But I'm trying to pretend I didn't.
- I'm talking to you.
- No, you're talking at me, Jack.
Learn the difference.
You screwed up.
I was right.
Izzy's case is linked to Red's case.
I didn't screw up.
Everything all right? Yeah.
It's fine.
Are you asleep? Take them, take them.
DCl Metcalfe.
There's another one.
I wouldn't give him 1 2 hours.
He looks half-dead already.
The first file was 1 70 megs.
This one is double that.
- Definitely three bleeds.
- Can you filter it? - It's a plane.
He's near an airport.
- Quiet.
It's close.
Under a flight path.
- It's a turbo prop.
- An ATP.
STOL.
City Airport.
- STOL? - Short takeoff and landing.
Sounds like a train.
It's not a main line, it's lighter.
- A tube? - No, it sounds-- DLR.
Docklands Light Railway.
It's near the City Airport.
That's a tube.
District line.
It runs above ground at Bromley by Bow and crosses the DLR.
Air traffic approach routes.
- Train lines.
- We need somewhere out the way.
- lsolated.
- lndustrial estate.
No, there's too many people.
- There's a warehouse here.
- Security and staff.
There's too many people in there.
- What about the gasworks? - Only one in the area was demolished.
Disused brewery? Stainless steel walls.
Vats.
Hang on.
There's something else.
Red! It's his car.
There's a hypo, and what looks like the money.
We've got-- I don't know.
We've got something.
Clear! Clear.
Clear.
John Giardello! John Giardello! John Giardello! Who was that? There's no rigour.
It passes after 36 hours.
He was dead already.
I sat in that room, I watched him suffer and he was dead already.
Why? He was dead before the clips were even sent to you.
No one blames you.
No one has to.
Red? What is it? I am the way to the city of weeping.
I am the way to eternal grief.
I am the way to the people lost.
Abandon every hope, all you who enter.
Dante.
Catherine McArdle.
Stung by bees.
Claire Fullerton.
Released from limbo.
Tamzin Green and Paula Scott.
The lovers.
Lustful.
Gluttony.
We're in Dante's Inferno.
The killer is condemning his victims to hell.
