Wire in the Blood s05e03 Episode Script

The Names of Angels

It was really nice to meet you, but I really have to go.
Unless How long are you in town for? I get the taxi from up here.
It's no problem.
Maybe I see Argh! (SCREAMS) Dinner's ready.
DOOR SHUTTING You made it.
Good to see you.
Ben! Ben, get off the PlayStation.
Your dinner's ready.
Coming.
(PHONE BLEEPING) That's my phone.
How long has your dad been phoning you on your mobile? BenI asked you a question.
Leave me alone.
Why do you care? MOBILE PHONE RINGING Hello.
Hello? LINE GOES DEAD DIALLING RINGING RINGING (KNOCK AT DOOR) Go away.
Ben Benyou mustn't feel guilty.
It's not your fault, what happened between me and your dad.
Then why won't you let me see him? It's not that I won't let you.
I just don't want you to get hurt.
PHONE RINGING Yes? Hi.
It's me.
Oh, hi.
How can I help? Why 'how can I help?' Why not just 'how are you?' Oh, OK.
How are you? I'm fine.
Yeah.
That's good.
Er Well, I just thought I'd ring for a chat.
Don't people ring you for a chat? No, not really.
Anything specific you wanted to chat about? No.
Don't worry.
So, what, then? I just thought I'd give you a ring.
OK.
OK, forget it.
Forget what? I'll see you around.
Yeah, OK, sure.
Which one is it? Aaargh! (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) SIRENS Don't say I never get you anything.
How long has she been there? Overnight.
No longer.
My suspicion is she's been raped before she was strangled.
Pretty girl.
Late 20s, early 30s.
Any joy? Not really.
They only have full CCTV at the main entrance.
They have a lot of problems with hookers bringing their clients back.
Quiet and no residents.
Chief, we've got a handbag.
There's ID inside.
Argh! I'm sorry it slipped.
Do we have an appointment, Tony? No, but I sensed an invitation had been extended.
Well, your senses fail you.
If you'll excuse me.
I've got a murder enquiry.
Oh, yes.
Anything I can help you with? No.
Well, maybe some glue.
Desks and offices tell you so much about a person, don't they? Oh, yeah? And what does yours say? Oh Working mother.
Torn between the responsibilities of home and work.
That's every working mother.
So, not just me? No.
But you do over-compensate.
How many items have you got that remind you of Ben? Well, five or six.
You've got 17.
You've got your photos and pictures and your little knick-knacks.
All to bolster you as a mother.
Well, thank you for your insight.
And for destroying my office.
You must invite me round to yours, so I can break something of sentimental value.
But then, you're not sentimental, are you? No, I'm sure.
Her name is Inge Karlson.
From when? I called you because I was having a bad day.
Now, if that makes you feel special, then I chose the wrong person.
I won't call you in future.
Why are you being so defensive? I'm just saying: if you want to talk to me about anything, you can.
How many times have you rung me about nothing? Never.
Exactly.
So, if you want to talk to me about whatever it was KNOCK AT DOOR .
.
I'm here, or I'm at home.
On my own.
Sorry.
From the documents we found with the body, we identified the woman as Inge Karlson, a 25-year-old from Copenhagen, her ID indicating she worked for a company in Denmark.
So not a prostitute? We don't know.
I'm sorry.
You're losing me.
I spoke to the Danish Embassy.
I was called back immediately by the Danish police.
Inge Karlson was found murdered in Copenhagen five years ago.
She's definitely been raped, so it shouldn't pose any problem getting a DNA sample.
Strangulation was manual.
Time of death about 11pm last night.
Any other form of identification on her body? Any tattoos? Wears no jewellery? No rings? Chains? Earrings? Nothing, just the clothes.
No distinguishing marks either.
Good teeth.
Good nails.
Good hair.
That's interesting.
You give her another victim's identity, yet you don't mask hers.
What do you mean by that? She hasn't been disfigured, facially.
If the killer wanted her not to be identified he could have made it difficult, but he didn't.
He just labelled her Inge Karlson.
Where are her clothes? Over here.
It's a Scandinavian label.
These are Inge's clothes.
She was re-dressed.
Stands to reason.
He gives her Inge's ID, dresses her up in her clothes.
He held onto these for five years.
I need to see where the body was found, presuming you need my help on this.
Absolutely.
It's used a lot by prostitutes.
Do you really think she is one, with that haircut, that skin tone? She had money.
She could be high class.
Wouldn't she use hotels? Maybe they met in a hotel.
Maybe she's high class, but he's got low rent preferences.
Why here, though? Two choices.
Either she was raped and strangled elsewhere and dumped here or it all happened here, but there's no drag marks on the grass.
So if it did happen here he's had to lift her over the fence.
And why go to all that effort just to dump a body? SCREAMING I think he chose this location to rape and murder.
But whether he likes his sex seedy or not, this is his place.
Kev Find out if any of the companies on this estate have any links to Denmark.
So how did our Danish victim Inge Karlson die? The same method - raped and strangled.
Strangulation manual? Yeah.
The same as our unknown victim.
Inge Karlson was last seen in the Nero bar a week before her body was found.
So it's face to face.
It's not from behind.
So he doesn't mind if they see.
Any DNA found on Inge? Her body was found in a river, so the DNA had degraded.
I take it she wasn't clothed, since they've now turned up over here.
That's right.
She was naked.
So one, he strips completely.
The other, he strips and re-dresses as the victim five years before.
And there's no jewellery on our unknown victim when she was found.
So any jewellery he took from Inge didn't end up here.
It was just the clothes and the personal ID.
So what does that mean? It means this is not a fetish.
A fetishist gets his pleasure from the detail - the underwear, the jewellery.
They take time with the body.
They spend time with the body just to get it right.
This is a partial re-labelling, a partial re-identification, but it's also a message.
A message? Who for? You, most likely.
Do you know those letters you get with the green ink, saying 'I'm cleverer than you'? This is one of those.
It's also information.
He's telling you he's killed before.
So it's a boast.
A game.
So where are we looking? Is he Danish or British? My guess is he's British.
He's boasting to you, not the Danes.
And why did he remove everything from Inge five years ago? All her clothes? Her possessions? Surely he wasn't planning five years ahead.
No, he wasn't.
His original motivation with Inge was to rape, kill and take everything from her.
What's happened over here does not detract from that original motivation to rape, kill and take.
Rape, kill, take.
So if he was raping and killing in Denmark in 2002, what's he been doing since? Exactly.
They're lovely.
Thank you.
The body of a female aged between 25 and 40 was recovered from the land adjoining the Oakdean Business Park.
A postmortem's being carried out to discover her exact cause of death.
If anyone has any information, I'd ask them to contact Bradfield police.
Any questions? TELEPHONE RINGING Hello.
Tony, it's me.
I think we've got an ID on the body.
Her name's Monica Stephens.
She worked in the back office of a local stockbroker's.
Apparently, her colleagues have been trying to get hold of her all day.
What do you think? It's very nice.
She lives alone.
No-one else's clothes in the wardrobe.
What are you looking for? Holes.
Holes? What kind of holes? Well, bedrooms sometimes have holes in the ceiling, for ropes and tackle.
Cameras.
Not here.
My, my.
It's not normally my league, but what does this say to you? High street class.
Not tarty.
Reserved? No, assured.
These aren't clothes that you hide behind.
So she's not putting herself out there sexually.
She's not selling herself as a victim.
Urban streetwise career women are in the lowest risk grouping, so how does a woman like this fall into the hands of a killer? It's not just Monica, Inge.
Software design.
Stockbroking.
Both have corporate backgrounds.
If he abducted them there would be signs of restraint.
There's not.
So he lures them.
How? He's part of their world.
Yeah, he blends in.
Was Monica in a relationship? No.
She would have told me.
I'll get her jewellery brought over.
I'd like you to have a look, see if you notice anything missing that she might have been wearing.
How was she found? Was she bad? No.
Do you think you're strong enough to identify your sister? Perhaps it's not her.
She might just have gone away for a few days.
It could be some other poor woman.
I thought you weren't going to be late.
I wasn't Ben! Thanks, Gina.
No problem.
Can I settle up with you on Friday? Yeah, that's fine.
Bye.
PHONE RINGING Hello? Hi.
It's me.
Look, you were right.
There is something.
Is there? This is easier over the phone than face to face.
Erlook, Alex You're right.
Look, it's nothing.
No, I didn't mean that.
It's not nothing.
I just can't do this on the phone right now.
Later, maybe.
Probably.
Well, you do what you have to do.
I'll call you later.
Don't.
I'm sorry to bother you.
Alex? So, we've got two victims, two countries, both unified in death.
We've got Inge's world and Monica's world.
Was it social or business? You see, that's his way in.
These aren't assaults from the outside.
He moves in.
He gains their confidence and then he strikes.
But is it business or pleasure? Can it be both? The Nero Bar Inge was last seen in was apparently full of that crowd.
If he's not part of that crowd, if he's on the outside, would either of these two women approach him? I don't think so.
We've finally contacted all the businesses on the estate where Monica was found.
None of them have any business connections to Denmark.
The geeks have been through Monica's hard drive.
On the evening she went missing she was using her search engine to find out stuff on a Leopard Electronics.
Leopard? Leopard Electronics are on the estate where she was found murdered.
The body was discovered here and Leopard Electronics are in this building here.
Well, get over there, see what you can find out.
A list of employees.
See if anyone's heard of her.
OK.
They've got something on the CCTV at Monica's apartment.
This is her coming home from work at six o'clock.
An hour later.
It's hardly party gear, is it? Well, she wasn't going to meet a date.
She didn't take her car and look.
The external camera shows the pedestrian area outside the building.
So either he was picking her up away from the apartment or she hailed a cab on the street.
Now that we know what she was wearing we can hit the cab companies.
Someone must remember seeing her.
Leopard Electronics.
We've run the list of employees through the computer.
No previous convictions to write home about.
No-one had even heard of Monica Stephens before we found her.
Her mobile phone records show that at 6.
54 she called a number that her friends, family and colleagues don't recognise.
Six minutes before this.
According to the network, the number hasn't been used since.
It belongs to a pay-as-you-go mobile.
We can't get an answer.
We're trying to trace where it was bought.
What jewellery is she wearing? Can you go in closer? She wasn't wearing those when we found her.
They weren't on or near her body.
He's a trophy taker.
He stores it.
He keeps it so he can prolong the sexual fantasy of raping and killing her.
The question is: is it a solo fantasy or does he involve someone else? Does he keep it for himself? Does he enjoy it by himself? Or does he give it to someone close to him? So every time she wears it it reminds him of his pleasure.
I can confirm that we're in contact with another European police force, but I can't go into reasons for that contact.
To repeat, we're anxious to speak to anyone who saw Monica Stephens that evening or to anyone who has seen or found this jewellery.
I really like them.
Hi, I'm Rachel.
Can I help you? DOORBELL CHIMES Dr Hill? Yeah.
Detective Inspector Morris, North Allerfield.
I wonder if I could have a quick word.
Jack Norton's gone missing from his place of supervision.
He had a huge bust-up with his supervisors.
Has he been in touch? Jack? I saw Jack on a regular basis, from his conviction, aged 11, till he was 15.
Then he was moved and I haven't seen him for four years.
Well, if he comes knocking or you hear from him, call me.
I take it he isn't a danger, otherwise he wouldn't have been released on licence, yeah? He's had a lot of stress to live with.
You know how the programme works.
The thing is, if the press find out who he was or where he was they'll hunt him down.
We don't know what he'd do if he was cornered.
What HE'D do?! He'd be lynched.
Hi.
You found it OK? Yes.
TV: And it's a lovely ball through and he's Oh, no, he's missed it! TELEPHONE RINGING Hello.
Jack.
Is that you, Jack? RINGING LINE GOES DEAD Why isn't there anyone here? I thought you said there would be people in the office.
I'd like to go home now, please.
CLUNK OF CENTRAL LOCKING (SCREAMS) TELEPHONE RINGING Hello.
Mr Stephens, we never met, but I knew Monica.
Who is this? A friend, Mr Stephens.
You must be devastated.
Who are you? Isn't it her birthday today? Who is this?! Who is it?! Who is this?! What's going on, Dad? Dad? DIALLING Who was it? Hi, this is Monica.
Please leave a message after the tone.
He used her phone.
(SOBS) Raped and strangled? Yeah, the same as before.
She has the driving licence of an Italian national - Cinzia d'Aosta.
The same colour hair, but it's not her.
Any other ID? No, it's like before, not even jewellery.
The locations mean something.
Business parks.
What time did he make the call? Monica's father said just after midnight, probably from here.
We found the phone by this girl's body.
The call, was it abusive? Did he tell him he killed his daughter? No, amazingly, what he said was sympathetic.
He knew that today was Monica's birthday.
He offered his condolences.
What's that about? Gratification.
He rapes and strangles, like he did in Europe, but now he's adding layers.
He re-identifies the body, that's a message to the police.
But when he rings the father of a victim and offers his condolences, even knows when her birthday is, it's games, icing on the cake.
He's proving his superiority.
But is it arrogance or insecurity? He hit her.
It didn't go all his own way.
DOOR OPENS This still fits.
It's the one you bought me in Budapest.
After all this time.
Flowers for you, sir.
(SOBBING) Cinzia d'Aosta was raped and strangled in Sicily, three years ago, April 2004.
The body was found three miles outside Palermo.
A graduate, she was managing a travel agency.
And how old was she? What did she graduate in? Business studies.
They're e-mailing down a complete file.
So we were right.
He does have a type of victim.
All professional women.
Age band - mid 20s to mid 30s.
How old do you think our latest victim was? Certainly within that range.
Where was this Cinzia found? A remote hillside.
Rough ground.
Why did he start off killing abroad? Killers usually operate somewhere they know well.
Yes, you're right.
They operate within their comfort zone and usually that is somewhere they know well.
But our man decided to rape and kill abroad.
Why? The answer has to be that he was more comfortable raping and killing there and there than he was raping and killing here.
Yeah, but not any more.
Not only has the location changed, but his pattern has as well.
The two he's killed abroad, they're just dumped.
Water and a hillside.
Where over here, they're carefully placed .
.
in industrial estates and business parks.
So he knows the area.
He has planned their disposal.
Abroad, he doesn't know it as well, so it's more chaotic.
What does that tell us? He's from Bradfield.
And he can deal with the unexpected.
Maybe he enjoys the frisson of the unknown.
He hit our latest victim, so maybe risk excites him.
And being away from home, outside your normal environment.
He's allowed to take those risks.
I mean, we all do it.
Except, most of us just get drunk in Copenhagen or Palermo, rather than rape and kill.
So, he's travelling to these places, rather than living in Denmark and Sicily? If he lived there, he'd dispose of the bodies differently.
The pay-as-you-go that Monica called, it was bought for cash at the airport.
You can fly to both those places from Bradfield airport.
He's a businessman.
He flew in.
He flew out.
Get onto the airports.
I want a passenger list for both the destinations, a month either side of the killings, and when they come in cross-check them against previous convictions for sexual offences.
Hello? Is that you, Jack? Talk to me.
Dr Hill? Hi.
You want to talk to me, Jack? Did you break into my house and take my knife? Why don't we meet up? Just me.
No-one else.
You don't have to be frightened of anybody.
You tell me where to meet.
I'll be there.
MAN: These.
This.
And this.
And then on the bed.
Face down.
DOOR OPENS The DNA they found on Cinzia out in Sicily is a match for that found on Monica - the same killer.
Has it been run through the database? Yeah, twice.
Nothing.
He's not in the system.
Not on the DNA database?! He has to be.
Guv.
We've just had a fax come through from the airport.
Is this it? Only two couples travelled to both Copenhagen and Sicily in those time periods.
Yeah.
No-one travelled on their own? No.
He's a rapist.
We've got his DNA.
We must have a record of him somewhere.
Well, you'd think so.
So why? Who is he? We know he's average-to-above-average looks.
He's good-looking.
There's nothing here to frighten the victims.
Age? All our victims have been mid 20s to early 30s and they're all sexually mature.
They trust him.
He's older than them.
He's a trophy taker.
Apart from the clothes, all the things he holds onto are items of value.
Maybe we're asking the question the wrong way round.
Inge 2002.
Cinzia 2004.
Monica and our unknown victim 2007.
So you've got abroad, abroad.
Instead of asking: why did he originally kill abroad, what we should be asking is this - why here and why now? How many? Two tablets.
It's always two tablets.
My eyes are worse today.
I can't see a thing.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Chief.
The forensics have found something on Monica's work papers.
She made a note of meeting a Michael King.
She's written LE by the side of it.
LE? Leopard Electronics.
I thought you said no-one had heard of her.
Yeah, wait a second.
Michael King is the director of Leopard Electronics.
See if he was on a flight to Denmark.
Tony, what do you think? She's searching on her laptop for Leopard Electronics, her body's found nearby, it could be.
The only conviction he has is for speeding.
Michael King flew to Copenhagen two days before Inge Karlson went missing and came back two days after.
KNOCKING Michael King? Yeah.
Bradfield police.
We'd like you to accompany us to the station.
Is that your car? Yeah.
Can I have the keys? Michael, what's happening? I don't know.
Call forensics.
Where were you two nights ago, Mr King? I worked late and I stopped off for a beer on the way home.
Tell me about Copenhagen.
January 2002.
Copenhagen.
I've never been to Copenhagen.
Are these your clothes, Mrs King? Yes, they are.
We know you flew to Copenhagen on 15 January 2002 and came back on the I didn't.
We know from our Danish colleagues that you stayed in the Hotel Jurgenplats for the duration of your stay.
How many more times? I've never been to Copenhagen.
BUZZER Have you ever been to the Nero Bar? No.
Have you ever met a woman Inge Karlson? No.
And I'm not answering anything else until I see my solicitor.
The woman's clothes in the boot of your car, whose are they? Do you think he's telling the truth? He says he's not going to answer any more questions.
Then when we mention the clothes, he's telling us he's having an affair.
He seemed unprepared for it.
His wife said the clothes were hers.
Yeah, well, she would.
You're confronted with clothing by a police officer, what would you say? It certainly explains the vagueness of his alibi.
But it doesn't mean that he's with his mistress all night.
Monica left the apartment at seven that evening.
And her body was found not 200 yards from his office.
But why dump her body near his work? I know it connects him, but would you do that? Would you kill someone and then dump their body in a nearby field? Maybe it's a double-bluff.
It's so unthinkable, he might just get away with it.
And he's not on the passenger list for Sicily? No, there's a weakness.
If I hold him I've got limited time to question him.
What am I going to arrest him on? His name being on a passenger list? His possibly meeting Monica? Staying at a Danish hotel? All of which he vehemently denies.
You are free to go, Mr King.
Put him under surveillance.
We have an ID on the dead woman.
Rachel Hillman, 31, works as an assistant in a small modern art gallery.
They were closed yesterday so no-one realised she was missing.
Her neighbour says he saw her go out in a Nissan Micra around seven last night.
Great.
Get the details out.
If we find it we know where he met her.
What about a mobile phone? She called another pay-as-you-go the night before we found her.
Get onto it.
Look for anything with the name Michael King attached to it.
TV: Police have now confirmed the identity of the second woman found dead yesterday as Rachel Hillman.
Police are still not confirming how she died or officially linking her death to the murder of Monica Stephens and a series of murders in various European cities.
Sources believe that all of the victims were found raped, strangled and stripped of their clothes and jewellery.
Bradfield police are urging anybody with any information about the murders to contact them immediately on 01632 4960110 Daddy! Why don't you go play with your cars, Jamie? Where have you been? I telephoned the police a while ago - they said you'd been let out on bail.
I needed a walk.
Whose clothes were they in your car, Michael? (GASPS) Is that the best we've got? Can't we get anything clearer? I doubt it.
What we need is a hair line, eyes, nose.
For a minute there, I thought this was going to be useful.
I think it is.
Where's his trolley? With forensics.
Any chance of getting me a duplicate of everything that was in? Why? Whatever's in that trolley, that's him.
It's his life.
Couldn't he have just picked up any old thing? Have you ever tried that? We take what we're familiar with.
They'll be a few rogue items but we're creatures of habit.
We take what we know.
Organise Tony a personal shopper.
You're right.
Maybe he did just pick up anything to hand.
This doesn't fit.
It doesn't make sense.
The profile we're building up here does not fit the man down here.
Cheap tea bags.
Cheap bread.
This man, he travels to Europe, he circulates amongst young professionals.
This man couldn't afford the bus to London.
Hello, Jack.
Isn't blood amazing? The way these threads suspend themselves in the water? Do you want a bandage? Not really.
Clean it with them, Jack.
You can't call me Jack any more.
Jack no longer exists.
Jack was evil.
Why did you carve it on your arm? To remind me of who I was.
Now they call me David.
David's good.
Can I have the knife back? Thank you.
You don't like David, do you? I had no choice.
When I was let out I had to be someone.
If people knew I was Jack Yeah, they'd hate you.
They'd want to destroy you.
Yeah, the child who kills must be killed.
being driven away from court in one of those vans.
They threw bricks at me.
They spat at me.
They screamed my name.
No-one deserves to die, Jack.
Not even you.
Jack is dead.
Uh-huhand what about David? They can call me who they want but inside I know who I am.
And one day someone will recognise you, frightened, lost, trapped Guilty.
Yeah.
Would it help if I called one of your caseworkers? What? Do you think they'd listen? You can't run for ever, Jack.
No more running.
No more lies.
Can I stay? They're looking for you.
And they've told me to call them if you get in touch.
Yeah, you can stay tonight.
We'll sort things out in the morning, yeah? When was the last time you ate? Two days ago.
Right.
(MUSIC AND TALKING ON TV) Ben, it's your dad.
Talk to him.
You talk to him.
I can't.
Why? Because I don't know what to say.
Fine.
I'll talk to him for you.
Hi, Dad.
Yeah, I'm good.
How are you? Do you mind if I have some water? Sure.
Thanks, Dr Hill.
You're the only one I can trust.
Jack? TELEPHONE RINGING Hello.
Tony, we found Rachel Hillman's car.
It was in a hotel car park.
Yeah, that's her.
Before she went into the lounge, she asked for a man called Roberts.
Roberts? Are you certain? Absolutely.
That's my name.
Did you see him? No.
He must have gone straight to the lounge.
Never came to the desk.
He knew where to find her.
Have you got anything of her in the car park? Yeah.
It's on a longer interval.
One frame every three seconds.
That's not her car, that's a Jag.
That's the killer's car.
He must be inside.
Thanks, that's very helpful.
Where were they sitting? These seats here, in the lounge.
Why the hell didn't you ring me? As soon as I could I did.
Yeah, after he'd left you.
What did you want me to do? Lock him in a cupboard? He was alone and frightened.
He wanted to talk to someone he trusted.
You try living your life as someone else, banned from even contacting your family.
That's the deal if he wants his freedom.
Have you thought that what he might want is to go back inside where he feels safe? So why doesn't he just give himself up then? Because he can't think like a rational human being.
You said he had a knife.
Yes.
He was self-harming.
He was gouging his original name into his arm.
Does he still have it? No.
I took it back off him.
Good.
In my opinion, Jack is no longer a danger to the general public.
For your sake, I hope you're right.
How did it go? I hit my sales targets, or else.
Hey, darling.
What's up? No, Ben.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
I'm at work.
Ben? It's Ben's father.
He's been back in contact.
I knew nothing about it.
You don't like it, but you don't want it to stop.
Ben's curious about him.
Absent-father syndrome.
Enigmatic attraction.
He's far more interesting and exciting than the one telling him off at home.
He's talking about making a visit, making that trip to see his son.
He'll swan in, sweep Ben off his feet and let him down like a ton of bricks.
Just like he did to you.
None of your business.
Sorry.
Yes.
I just don't want him to get hurt.
Course you don't.
But he will.
Keeping Ben from his dad will not protect him from disappointment.
He has to know about his father.
Then you have to mend what's broken.
It's life.
KNOCK AT DOOR We have a Dominic Roberts, confirmed as having flown to Palermo around the time of Cinzia's murder.
He's not listed as ever having been to Copenhagen, but get this.
He works as a sales manager for a company in the business park where Rachel's body was found and he is the registered owner of a Jaguar.
No, I haven't been there.
So, Mr Roberts, you are denying taking a flight from Bradfield airport on the 17th of April 2004.
Yes, I am.
Or that you stayed at the Hotel de Rosa? Yes, I do.
We'll have to let him go.
He denies everything.
Guv, on the night of Monica's murder, we have a witness who saw a Porsche around seven o'clock, nearby Monica's apartment, same colour, same model as Michael King's.
Rachel was last seen getting into a Jaguar.
Dominic Roberts drives a Jaguar, doesn't he? And both men, apparently, board flights, booked hotels and drove cars and deny everything.
Really interesting.
Let's talk to Mr King again.
Have you ever had any problems with credit card fraud? You're suggesting I've committed it? No.
Have you ever suffered? Have you ever been a victim? Yeah, I have.
My card was cloned.
I didn't know anything about it.
Security rang to check I was still in the country.
What? They spend your money abroad? Yeah, I don't know where.
They just said they'd cancel it and I got a new card.
I think our killer knows these men.
He's using their identities and dumping the bodies near where they work.
He's trying to implicate them.
Not only does he know where they work.
He knows where they live.
He knows everything about them.
Rachel Hillman was last seen getting into a Jaguar, the same as Dominic Roberts drives.
There was a Porsche seen near Monica's flat, the same as Michael King's.
The killer is giving us fine detail.
You need to find out where he's getting these cars from.
MOBILE PHONE RINGING Excuse me.
Tony Hill.
Hello.
Jack? Don't hang up, Jack.
Please.
I was worried when you left.
Last night.
Your duvet.
The smell of your sheets.
They reminded me of when I was a kid.
Yeah, I understand.
Sorry.
There's no going back, is there? You can't rewind time, can you? No, but there's always today and the future.
I want out of this, Dr Hill.
Yeah? What about no more running, no more lies, Jack? Yes.
Then give yourself up and it will all be over.
I can't do that, because you know what they'll do to me.
I can help.
I can get you anything you need, Jack.
What I need is rest.
I can help you, Jack.
LINE GOES DEAD If you could just sign there, Maguire.
No problem.
Thank you.
And the Porsche hasn't been hired out since then? And you're the only person who's sat in the Jaguar since? I was right.
This is him.
This.
This.
Cheap tea bags.
Tomato ketchup.
He's unsuccessful.
He's low income.
He's probably living on benefits.
And this and these, white asparagus and luxury chocolates, are who he wants to be.
So much so, he steals their IDs and he travels abroad as them.
Yes, he travels as them, he rapes as them and he kills as them.
And all the while, convincing himself of this fantasy that he's a successful businessman.
He meets his victims - all young and corporate, impressing them with this false persona.
This guy's got NPD.
What? Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
What? Narcissism? It's a disorder characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, extreme feelings of self-importance, fantasies of power and success.
This guy doesn't just need admiration, he craves it.
So he thinks that he's something that he's not.
Absolutely.
And he wants the rest of the world to think that as well.
Our killer believes he is fantastically successful.
The world owes him a living.
And he exploits people because he isn't successful.
He envies the likes of Michael and Dominic.
And he probably envies the women he killed as well.
But that's not the reason why he killed them.
So what is the reason? It's an early infant experience.
Something goes wrong between baby and mother.
She doesn't recognise him as a human being in his own right.
He's just an extension of the mother.
So the baby fails to develop a proper sense of self.
And a false self develops and grows in the place where that real person should have grown.
So what is he? Some kind of human cuckoo? Exactly.
He's a cuckoo.
But one his mother created.
It's likely that the mother never valued him.
You know, had high expectations but never let him think for himself, always rubbed his nose in his failures and it is a poisonous kind of love that nurtured a hatred for women.
He rapes and kills these women because it gives him the feeling of being as powerful as he would like to be.
I'm sure I haven't got the right strength tablets.
I've had pain ever since they gave them to me.
No, no! Not like that.
You'll break my back.
(SIGHS) Idiot.
Now, don't disappear.
I need you.
Where are you? Don't leave me.
So which one is it? The over-identified child which he thinks is him? Or the parent he still longs to please? If he's got a baby he could be in a relationship.
Yeah.
Wouldn't that keep him? No, he's a narcissist.
She doesn't matter to him.
He'd have the control and she'd be compliant.
And he's probably made it harder for her now she's had the child.
Just as nothing is never good enough for the mother, now nothing's ever good enough for him.
The wife, she wants to do what's best for him.
She's easily persuaded and she's very unlikely to challenge his view of the world.
And if she does he'll be irrationally violent or threatening.
This fits with the stripping of the bodies as well.
Narcissists are notoriously bad present givers.
They forget Christmas, anniversaries, their birthdays, on purpose.
My guess is the only presents she's received are the ones he's taken from the victims.
The jewellery, for instance.
And, like a starving child, she'll be really grateful for whatever she can get.
Sources believe that all of the victims were found raped, strangled and stripped of their clothes and their jewellery.
Oh, no! (SOBS) If you change your mind or decide you'd like to see it again, give me a call.
The DNA results are back.
For what it's worth, it's not Michael King's.
This DNA, from Monica and Cinzia, has turned up matching seven unsolved murders across Europe.
Yes, that's right.
Oh, they're fabulous apartments.
Certainly.
What time would you like to meet, Mr Maguire? Underground parking.
A perfect location for you.
Bradfield airport is only six miles over there.
A new health club is opening up just round the corner.
And in here, as you can see, original features.
A great view.
Fantastic capital growth potential.
So, you're developing sites in Dubai and Barbados, are you? I don't suppose you need any salespeople.
Goodbye, Jack.
I'll see you later, then, Mr Maguire.
I guess I'll have to stock up on sun lotion.
Thank you.
Forensics have found a hair in Cinzia's dress.
It's not Cinzia's and it's not Rachel's either.
His? If it is he's got long hair.
He's dressing his wife up in their clothes.
I guess.
Doesn't help us to find him, though.
No.
Where do we look? Everything so far's drawn a blank.
Michael King and Dominic Roberts - we've no idea who stole their ID.
We went through their address books - no overlap.
No friends, no family, no colleagues in common.
No suspects for the European killings.
PHONE RINGING Except in one case.
A vagrant, who was later released.
Geoffries.
So, where now? He's got no previous convictions for sexual offences.
If he did, we'd have his DNA on record.
He's the invisible man.
Try violence against women.
Against his wife? Yes.
No, she wouldn't have reported it.
Theft? He's taking from every person The pay-as-you-go Rachel called - it's been used again.
We're getting a trace.
Car hire companies.
A man has been into Parkhill Hire, being very specific about a type and colour of Range Rover.
His name is Paul Maguire.
Did you get an address and number plate? I'm on it.
TELEPHONE RINGING Fielding? Hello? Hello.
You've got through to Detective Inspector Fielding.
I'm here if you want to talk.
No.
I can't.
LINE GOES DEAD RINGING I could hear her, Tony.
She was almost crying.
If this is the woman he's in the relationship with, she's not going to turn him in easily.
You put yourself in her shoes - this is the father of her child.
KNOCKING We don't have any previous listed under a Paul Maguire.
He is listed as having reported a credit card fraud.
Don't tell me - he drives a black Range Rover.
No, he drives a Vauxhall.
He's a baggage supervisor at Bradfield airport.
What problems were you having with your credit cards? Everything.
Suddenly I'm getting bills for things I haven't bought.
On cards I've never applied for.
In this country? No, Prague.
Do we have a victim in Prague? Natasha Briginz.
He knows these men.
He envies them.
He knows everything about them.
But he hasn't registered on their radar yet.
And theft, it's the key.
People with NPD believe they're owed a living and if they don't get the rewards they think they're entitled to, then they steal.
And if someone's wronged them or slighted them their reaction is extreme.
Stealing these men's identities is an extreme punishment.
So, by implicating Michael King and Dominic Roberts and Paul Maguire, it's an act of revenge.
Yeah.
What if he was a previous employee? What if he stole from work because he didn't get what he thinks he deserved? And what if all three men fired him? Get onto Leopard's and Dominic's company at the airport.
I want a list of everyone that was sacked in the last 10 years.
So what now? He's at the height of his killing spree.
He's a supernova, waiting to implode.
But what he wants more than anything is adoration.
Maybe his wife, child, mother? But whoever, someone out there is important to him.
And what he won't want is for them to find out what an inadequate rapist murderer he really is.
Preservation of his own sense of self means destruction of anything that threatens that.
So as we close in on him, in his family someone's life is at risk.
Bye Baby Bunting Daddy's gone a Are you coming for a drink? I'm buying.
I would, but I'm meeting a client.
Hi, I wondered if you were still on for this evening.
Of course.
OK.
That's great.
DOOR SHUTTING I made a stew.
I'm not staying.
Where's the earrings? They hurt a bit.
So I'm saving them for special.
Are you sure you don't want something? I'll move these for you.
I've got a name.
I've got a connection to all of them.
His name is Luke Harris.
dismissed from each employment for various misdemeanours, including theft.
He was sacked in person by Michael King, Dominic Roberts and Paul Maguire.
Any of the thefts reported? No.
In each case he was summarily dismissed.
Let's go.
The television's on.
Five seconds, then take the door off.
Mrs Harris? No, I'm May Barrett.
Are you Luke Harris's partner? Yes.
Bradfield police, can we come in? Sorry about that.
He's better in his cot.
That's all right.
Do you want to take a seat, please? We need to find Luke.
Do you know where he is? He's out.
Do you know where? He never says.
Does he travel a lot? He used to, with his work.
Butnot so much since the baby.
And since his mum started to lose her sight.
What does he do? Well, he he he's all over the place, really.
Here and there.
Doesn't he tell you what he does? No.
It's not really my place to ask.
Did he go to Copenhagen in January 2002? I think so.
Some conference.
How about Sicily in Spring 2004? And Prague early 2006? When Luke goes away does he bring you presents back? What sort of presents? Jewellery? I've stopped wearing them.
I just couldn't.
He gave me a dress from Sicily.
But I think he took it again.
He does that, does he? Gives you things and then sometimes takes them away? Was it a black dress? May, did you call me? They're from dead women, aren't they? Is there somewhere in this house Luke doesn't let you go, May? Tony.
Alex, over here.
Monica Stephens.
Rachel Hillman.
Cinzia d'Aosta.
Dominic Roberts.
Paul Maguire.
Michael King.
RADIO: Regular listeners to Time For Gardening DOOR OPENING Who is it? Who's there? Oh, it's you.

RINGING RINGING MAN: Sorry, Mum.
If only she hadn't found out.
Hi, I'm here.
I'm just leaving.
OK.
See you then.
We've got a squad going round to his mother's now.
If he's not there we can't just wait for him to show.
God only knows what he's got on his mind.
The network says his mobile was operational.
Where? Travelling between reception areas in North Bradfield.
He's on his way somewhere.
What about the person he was in conversation with? Static.
It wasn't moving.
Any way we can pinpoint where the number was calling him from? Yeah, if we had more time.
Give me the number.
I'll call it.

But my name is Dr Tony Hill and I work alongside Bradfield police.
Who is this? Please, don't hang up.

Is he there yet? No, he's on his way.
Is this a joke? No, I promise you this is not a joke.

Oh, hi.
How can I help? Ben and I want to invite you to the cinema.
We need cheering up.
So do I.
I'd love to.
This wasn't personal This wasn't an assassination.
It's psycho-sexual.
All Alice cares about is promotion.
One day we'll come in and she'll have moved on without a goodbye.
You have selected a suspect and you're picking the evidence to fit.
I am?! I didn't nick him when I had the chance.
I think it's a competition.
