Waking the Dead (2000) s06e05 Episode Script
The Fall: Part 1
RADIO: 'In a day of high drama that the Governor of the Bank of England fired between Whitehall and the City, 'the Treasury and the Bank of England fired off their biggest guns in a final effort 'to uphold the government's pledges to do whatever necessary to keep the pound in the ERM.
'A few minutes later Britain's membership of the ERM' Forgive me.
Better by far you forget and smile than that you should remember me and be sad.
'.
.
that others wanted to sell.
'A unique day in London's financial markets ended with the Chancellor announcing that the pound 'had been suspended from the ERM and that the second of two dramatic interest-rate rises during the day 'was, after all, cancelled.
' 'Today has been an extremely difficult and turbulent day.
'Massive speculative flows continued to disrupt the functioning of the Exchange Rate Mechanism.
'And, a few moments ago, the pound was trading at two marks 69.

' BICF bank.
Did you think I wasn't going to come? And let a prize like me get away? I knew you were smarter than that.
Hmm.
I've got something for you.
Oh? What's this? My reward? Maybe.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Morning.
I know I'm not late so you must've been here very early? Er, morning.
Ah, OK, are we all here? Morning.
OK, keep your coats on, we've got a date in the city.
Right, two bodies fall through the ceiling in a disused bank in the City of London.
I called them Adam and Eve.
I thought with the religious connotations of them falling down from above it was kind of symbolic don't you think? Very clever.
We've got an Eve.
Well, one's dead, one's alive.
All right In Eve's hand was a gold ingot.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
- Why is this a cold case? - Just hang on, hang on, one little second, all right? The ingot is inscribed with a 16 digit number Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy from the river.
Yes.
He had a 16-digit code, d'you remember? Cold case archive investigated 2000, no progress made, body was known as? The River Corpse.
Yeah? All right, white male, pulled from the Thames with a bullet in his head in 1993.
Punchtape was found in the lining of his coat.
Yup, with the same the ingot.
So, we have two murders, two pieces of evidence, linked by the same 16-digit number.
So, are we excited, or are we just plainexcited? Thus far, we have two passports in the name of Jane and George Ericsson one broken champagne flute a gold ingot on a gold chain and, two bodies still sexually conjoined, one male one female - the male with a bullet hole in his back.
It kind of screams crime of passion, doesn't it? Yup.
The foreman said the ceiling's not secure enough to get a ladder up there so I We could use the stairs.
OK.
Can I see the passports? Yeah, of course.
The current leaseholder of the building is the National Chinese Bank, before that, in summer 2004, it was Banco Niger.
Right, so from the staircase here it should be left and thenleft.
And two years before that it was Credit Italo-Suisse.
All these banks have a pretty short shelf-life.
Oh, don't be fooled by their flash titles, they're just a bunch of wide boys in handmade suits.
OK where is it? Hm? No idea.
Oh, shit, I give up.
Have you got everything? Yep, got it.
We found two plane tickets.
Yeah? London City Airport to Dublin, dated OK, so we gotta go further back with the leaseholder details.
What did you find? That's a problem you see cos the room that they fell from doesn't exist I've got the tracker.
I told Stella to get a tracker.
A tracker! Give us time to get there and hold it up to the ceiling all right? All right.
All right.
Starting now in fact.
What was the date on that ticket, Spence? 17th September, '92.
We've got to find out who occupied this building then.
- Who does? - You do.
I did all these rooms Poor girl I've been in It's not telling you to go in this bloody room? There isn't a hole here.
No hole.
It's a mystery, isn't it? What? Just trust the tracker.
TRACKER BEEPS It should be here.
Yeah.
You can forgive me for not knowing there was a hole behind the wall, can't you? Hang on, hang on.
Spence how about you? No, you're not going to move that, Spence.
Look, there's a spade over there.
Look.
Can you, er? Can you turn that down? Please.
Come on, come on, let the big boy tools deal with this.
OK.
Whoa.
Hang on Spence, hang on.
What's that? See that? What? Papers blowing, there's a draught here.
Where? Draught? Isn't it from Spence.
No, it's coming from here.
There's a catch here.
I need something to spring this catch.
Is that any use? It's a bit light.
There's a spoon over there.
No, that's all right.
It's all right.
Let's get the bookcase out the way.
Jesus.
Incredible! Boyd! Careful! Sorry.
You all right? Yes, it's OK.
Let's get out of here.
OK, yes, let's let Eve do her stuff OK.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
From January '90 to September '92 these were the offices of Bank International Credit and Finance.
BICF? What, as in fraud scandal? Yeah, the bank folded after Black Wednesday.
What? Black Wednesday? Erm, you know, collapse of the pound.
Negative equity, three million unemployed, Norman Lamont "Je ne regrette rien".
I was a kid then and I was in Paris.
And you're French, I know.
Currency speculators sold huge amounts of sterling, then bought it back again at a massive profit.
Yeah, it cost us, the taxpayers, about ã4 billion.
Thanks.
Welcome to the City - the biggest crooked casino in the world.
D'you want to leave them over on the slab there, thanks? No viable prints from the recovered champagne glass.
Potential DNA trace if the saliva samples aren't contaminated.
Preliminary examination notes.
Adam and Eve.
Conjoined state.
Male, approximate height, 5ft 11.
Female five eight.
Prolonged period of desiccation after death resulting in mummification.
Skin shrinkage and splitting over entire body.
Female, upper back gunshot exit wound Circular wound, stellate, everted edges.
Male upper back entry wound inverted edges.
No evidence of burns or powder tattoos on decayed clothing.
Both wounds consistent with a single shot not at close range.
At least one metre away.
Dental records tell us that Adam was in fact Mervyn Simmel, yeah, and he was director at? Bank International Credit and Finance.
B-I-C BICFA.
Simmel disappeared after Black Wednesday.
The day after Black Wednesday, wasn't it? Yup, OK.
A Serious Fraud Office investigation into the bank began a few days later.
They thought he'd scarpered with the bank funds.
Yes.
Instead he was in a room with a bullet in his back.
Passports - we found two of these at the scene of the crime and two airline tickets.
Departure date Same day they disappeared.
Now both passports are fakes.
Fake? We've sent details to Dublin Garda and put out passport photos of Now this is the one we know nothing about.
We don't know anything about Eve.
But Simmel's co-chairman at the bank was this man, Lucien Calvin.
- Ah huh? - He got eight years for fraud when the BCIF bank collapsed.
He was released 18 months ago.
Calvin was moved from a open prison to a high security unit early in his sentence.
He attacked a fellow inmate and broke his jaw and three fingers.
When the Serious Fraud Office came to question Mervyn Simmel they didn't know he was lying dead behind the closed door did they? All they could find was this letter.
Yeah.
Yeah, which was on his desk, which was? Oh, hang on, it was approximately over here.
All right, and it says "It's all just a game.
Money's the way we keep score.
"Don't let it get to you, Lucien.
Find yourself a place in the sun.
" Signed, Mervyn S.
And that's what he was planning to do - find a place in the sun - until somebody came along and shot him.
OK, shot him.
Let's go through it then from the beginning, shall we? OK.
Right, I arrive here Right, because you've got papers And I come in to meet my lover.
I've followed you in here.
That means I have access into the building so I must know or work for Mervyn Simmel, right? Right.
Excuse me.
DI Jordan.
Are you authorised to be here? Absolutely.
Syndicated Press.
I'm upholding a public right to be informed.
It's a closed crime scene - no press.
I'd like you to leave now, please.
Thank you.
Have you identified Mervyn Simmel's lover? No comment.
Do you have a name for her yet? No comment.
That's right.
So I go to the inner office Yes.
.
.
with my lover.
I come in and the door is open.
I see you both making passionate love.
And that makes you mad as hell.
Furious.
I'm crazed with rage, so I pull out my gun.
Clear premeditation.
And I shoot you.
Bang! So when the gunshot dies away you start to think clearly, you think, "I'm going to rot in jail for this.
" I'm going to rot in jail, so I wanna get away and cover everything up.
The suitcases, if they're not already there I put them in there.
I close the door and I get out of the building.
Right.
I've made some incisions in the chest wall cos there's the possibility of surgical enhancement.
Right, so if you could hold that for me.
Do I have to? Yeah, you have to, go on.
Nice and firm.
Thank you, that's great.
I've been doing a search on Lucien Calvin.
Ah.
The guy who did eight years for fraud? Found this.
Calvin Foundation dedicated to the psychological well-being in the financial sector.
He's going to be busy, isn't he? Silicone implant confirmed.
So Calvin's a psychotherapist? Yeah.
He's giving a private lecture for traders at Levy Goldenthal.
The merchant bank? Yeah, in an hour's time.
That'll be fun(!) Silicone sac reference code bears a DFA number.
Meaning what? Meaning that the surgery was American, so maybe she was too? Why does a major merchant bank like this invite a convicted fraud to give a lecture? Well, they come to see a man who stole a few hundred million and nearly got away with it.
Boyd.
Can you sign in, please? Dr Foley.
Calvin comes out of prison, he's self-taught, unqualified, he puts a sign over his door Here are your passes.
.
.
and tells the world he's a psychotherapist.
Thank you.
And your point is? It's worrying, isn't it? The kind of charlatans in your line of work, Grace.
But first we must trace back the root cause of our fascination with the money principle.
Freud tells us that before we answer the two great riddles of our childhood years, which are where babies come from and why little boys' bits are different from little girls' bits, we face another primal question.
What should we each do with our own shit? Mummy Mummy tells us that Mummy tells us that when we excrete on cue, "Good boy! Good boy!" she tells us.
We feel the wealth of her great love.
All adult accumulations of wealth reiterate this one basic equation - Money equals shit.
Money equals shit.
Gordon Gecko told us that greed is good.
Well, he was wrong.
Greed - it's now our god.
Man frees himself who overcomes himself.
Man frees himself who overcomes himself.
Er, I have some questions if I may? Detective Superintendent Boyd from the Cold Case Squad, and this is, erm Dr Foley.
Ya.
Is it a crime now to disparage money? I enjoyed that very much, I really did.
We'd like to know about your relationship with Mervyn Simmel.
Heated, erm, frosty, murderous.
We shared a love that proudly screamed its name - money.
Mervyn Simmel was found dead.
He was shot in the back.
You don't seem at all surprised by that.
Oh, Mervyn stopped surprising me years ago.
Are you, er, Grace Foley, Laws Of Love And Rage? Yes.
It's my latest book.
I know, I know.
When did you last see Mervyn Simmel? Er, 1992.
I think I said "I hope you roast in hell and rats tear at your flesh.
" Were you in London on September 17th, the day after Black Wednesday? No.
I was in Glasgow, talking to creditors, trying to save the bank from collapse, you'll take me in, for further questioning? Yeah, well we'll be in touch if we have any more questions.
Thank you.
"Money is shit", eh? I like that.
Thank you.
We've got an ID on the female body.
Silicone implant records in Florida show that she got her cosmetic work done there, but she is, was, actually Irish.
Her name's Katherine Keane.
Do we know anything about her apart from her cup size? She was a financial journalist, hits on the web show she broke some of the biggest fraud stories of the '80s.
- Anyone report her missing? - Her husband, Declan Keane, in September '92.
FILM: 'I can't believe my wife did not intend to contact me after she walked out of our flat that day.
' This is ten days after Katherine disappeared.
What do we think? Do we believe him? The investigating officer believed him.
'If you're watching this, Katherine, please get in touch, just to let me know you're safe and well.
' There was a lot of press coverage at the time.
Reading between the lines, I'd say it was a very unusual relationship.
They met in London, fell for each other immediately and within three weeks they were married.
Phew! He was a writer, very ambitious, thought the world's press was going to beat a path to his door, but the world didn't seem interested.
What happened to him after this? He went back to Dublin in 2001, the Garda are trying to find him for us.
There's something else here.
Hi, Lisa Tobin, Syndicated Press.
Er, did your wife give any impression that she was unhappy with the way her life was going? That's the journalist I saw at the crime scene.
Now, she made the connection between Mervyn Simmel and Katherine Keane before we did.
Did she now? Why d'you want me to sit in on the interview? Because I take an instant dislike to journalists.
I wanna see if she's a run-of-the-mill hack or whether she has another agenda.
You're the expert on people.
Lisa Tobin.
Oh, hello, Lisa, Dr Foley, thank you for your time.
This is Detective Detective Superintendent Boyd.
Yes, yes, I know you.
By reputation.
Oh.
Please sit down.
Thank you.
Ah.
Er, Katherine Keane, can you tell us what you know about her, please? I know quite a lot.
I started researching her biography about six years ago.
After Black Wednesday the trail goes cold.
We think we may have found the body.
Yes, that's what I thought.
I knew Katherine was seeing Mervyn Simmel when she disappeared.
You knew what the police didn't know in 1992.
Well, they didn't look very hard.
Why should they? Her husband wakes up one morning and finds his wife's packed up and gone.
As far as they knew she'd run out on him.
Now we've found the body, you'll be able to complete the last chapter of your biography.
No, the last chapter's about who killed her, isn't it? Declan Keane, her husband Well, when Katherine disappeared, Declan just fell apart.
He went back to Dublin.
Before long, he was sleeping on friends' floors.
Then he took to drug-dealing, pretty small-scale.
As far as I know he's still dealing.
It gives him an income and a new dependency to replace Katherine - cocaine.
OUTSIDE CAR DOORS SHUT DOORBELL BUZZES Place doesn't even look occupied.
Hello! DI Bailey, Garda Siochana! Waste of bloody time.
KATHERINE'S WORDS: "Declan, when you read these words I will already be dead.
"Don't grieve for me, I had more life than I deserved.
"Better by far you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad.
"Think of this as my gift "to make your dream come true.
" Will you be questioning Declan Keane? Er probably.
Er, yes, I'd better take that, sorry.
You know, if we share information it could only help raise the profile of the Cold Case Squad.
Oh, huh huh.
And its boss.
I know my editor'd be very interested in you as a subject.
No that wouldn't work, I'm far too shy.
And I have a badge in my pocket which means you're gonna give me any information that I want anyway, so Well, the thing to understand about Katherine Keane is she had a very complicated love life - relationships with many powerful men, financiers, captains of industry.
Do you know who they were? Well, by the time of Black Wednesday, apart from Mervyn Simmel, she had three other lovers.
Here she is, seductress par excellence who cheated on her husband with these four men.
Could we lose the emotive language and leave the character assessment to me? The fact is she had four lovers at the time she disappeared, and they're ones we know about.
There could be loads of others What if her husband had lovers and he knew about these guys? Thank you, Spence.
They deserved each other.
Why are we getting emotional about this? Move on.
It's obviously a very touchy subject.
OK Mervyn Simmel, he was the first one and we know about him, bank chairman.
This is the city alderman, Philip White, who met Katherine Keane at the Forbes Businessman of the Year lunch in 1989 - thought she was on the menu.
It's a joke, Grace.
It's a joke.
There was the merchant banker, Anthony Garland.
He proposed to Katherine Keane seven times.
He obviously didn't see her husband as being an obstacle at all.
He also bought her a Mercedes convertible after their second date.
This is Iain Taggart, Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry.
Who took various seminars, in adjoining rooms, of course, in Beijing Yeah, well who paid for all that? So why aren't these names in the investigation file? Well, because Spence, these guys all have high positions in life Oh, 'scuse me.
And they would lose a lot if they came forward.
So Garland here, he died last year and he was in Hong Kong the day of the murder so he's out.
That leaves us.
Get him out of the way cos he's dead.
That leaves these two.
We should get them in and talk to them.
You should because you're the expert in character assessment.
I, perhaps, can just look and learn.
Absolutely.
Can you tell us when you last saw Katherine Keane? Katherine Keane, the journalist? Yes.
She went missing, didn't she? Mr Taggart, you're a politician so I assume you're a busy man.
So let's not waste time.
You had an affair with Katherine Keane in 1992.
That was a statement, not a question.
We've reopened the investigation into her disappearance.
We think we may have found her body.
Let's start again.
She was remarkable.
You just wanted to be with her and for her to smile at you.
She interviewed me for some piece for the Financial Times, I think.
Even now there isn't a day I don't think about You thought so much of her you didn't even come forward when she disappeared.
I had a I have a wife and a position.
The press would've crucified me.
Alderman White! I was hoping I could have a few words.
Are you the journalist who's been harassing my secretary? Yes, I'm afraid so.
I'm writing a piece about the major figures in the City in the nineties.
Obviously I couldn't leave you out.
And I wish you luck with it but today is not a good day, Miss Tobin, Lisa Tobin.
We have met before actually, about two years ago.
I was researching a book.
You sound like a very productive woman, Miss Tobin.
A book about Katherine Keane.
I think the police have found her.
You were her lover, weren't you, Alderman White? I'm sorry.
I'm afraid your facts are wrong.
Katherine was a very special woman.
It gave me a great deal of pleasure to make her happy.
Oh, you mean buying her things and taking her to different places? Yeah.
Mmm.
We came to an understanding about the gifts.
Gifts? I bought her pieces of jewellery that I never saw her wear.
I know she sold them to help pay the bills.
It's a bit like paying for it though.
I mean it's a bit mercenary Somehow it wasn't with Katherine.
Oh.
She was like one of those brilliant heroines from Russian literature.
Did you ever meet her husband? Er, no I gather he was something of a liability.
When Katherine disappeared you didn't notify the police.
Why was that? I told myself I didn't know anything that could help the investigation.
My affair with Katherine had been over for months.
I saw her last in August '92 at a dinner party.
I know you still think that Katherine Keane is a promiscuous and undiscerning seducer.
She's very discerning.
Her lovers weren't poor.
Her seduction skills were very well-developed.
Obviously.
Yeah, but what I mean is that we all have seduction skills.
I mean, as children, that's how we learn to charm our parents.
But if somebody doesn't put a boundary to set the limits we go on using it for the rest of our lives.
With you people everything's the parents' fault.
Girls, what do you think? Boyd thinks that any woman who has surgery to enhance her breasts is a slapper.
I did not say "slapper".
If men will worship the breast you can't blame women for taking advantage of it.
We're talking of a woman with multiple lovers, getting gifts from the lovers and selling the gifts! Having more than one lover doesn't make her a slut.
Well, it doesn't exactly make you a saint, does it? Well, what? She had the sort of power men are supposed to have? Because you outnumber me doesn't make you right.
Moving right along, what've we got? The bullet from the crime scene wall doesn't match the one recovered from the skull of the River Corpse but I do have an ID on the River Corpse.
You've got an ID for a case on which we got nowhere? You got a fingerprint match? There was a bit of lateral thinking.
That's cos you're a woman.
Yes, quite.
There were ID card trials carried out in 1990 that tested the fingerprints of civil servants for accuracy.
Aren't they supposed to destroy all that stuff? Obviously not.
Naive.
One of the trials included a set that matches our River Corpse.
And who is he? He's Brian McGurk.
He was an aide to the Irish ambassador in London from '88 until he was sacked in August 1992.
Irish connection.
How are the Garda getting on with Declan Keane? They didn't find him.
They went to his home.
He wasn't there.
- And that's it? - That's it.
- Don't you just love the Irish?! 'Do you want to leave a message?' I've already left a message.
'He'll be back later.
' OK, well just tell him to call Detective Superintendent Boyd.
'Say again?' Boyd.
'Could you spell that for me, sir?' B O Y D.
'Thank you.
' Yeah, all right, thanks for your help.
If they don't get off their arses, we'll have to go to Dublin.
Cool.
We're going to Dublin?! No, we're going to Dublin.
We're going to Dublin.
Calvin's alibi for the night of the murder is crumbling.
He says he was in Glasgow for three days talking to creditors He left the day before Black Wednesday and returned two days after.
I spoke to the man who chaired the creditors' meeting.
He says Calvin was absent all of the last day.
So he had enough time to go back to London and murder his partner? Exactly.
What am I supposed to do? What do you think? Yeah? Grace'd love to have another chat with him.
You're going to Dublin?!! That's so unfair.
Thank you for meeting me, Hugo.
I didn't know who else to talk to.
There is no need for you to worry, Philip.
The police will ask questions, the press also will ask questions, the world will turn our work will continue.
But if the truth becomes known The truth is always known.
There's nothing we can hide from the Father in Heaven.
Of course, but I If you're anxious that these developments might affect your elevation within the Work of God No, no, it's not that.
The things that happened are in the past.
You must forgive yourself as the Father has forgiven you.
Be at peace.
Possiamo avere un problema con Alderman White Si, si, si.
You went to Glasgow to talk to creditors the day before Black Wednesday.
I'm afraid that it was some time ago.
I'm not the man I was.
Which of us is? And you returned to London three days later? You think I came back down and killed Mervyn Simmel? I wonder if that's true? Perhaps I did.
Mervyn Simmel's body was found, along with this woman Katherine Keane, who was also dead.
Did you know her? You know I think that your little team would make a very interesting case study.
The young ones, they're so very well-behaved, and obviously both truly keen to please.
Here, we have the wise and faithful matriarch Answer the question.
And you, Peter Boyd how do you fit in? Did you know Katherine Keane? I always think that Oedipus got a bad press, don't you? He was, like most of us, misunderstood.
He just really loved his mother.
The two bodies fell to the ground through the ceiling.
Like Adam and Eve.
Such a potent image.
Sinful Eve, symbolic of the female element of the male.
Adam, the first man, created out of dust from the four corners of the Earth.
Could we have the seminar some other time? This isn't fairytale creationism, this is about flesh and blood fact.
This is about the maggots and the blowflies that ate their organs.
You must be very proud.
This is a murder investigation about a sudden, violent death! Death.
The ultimate transformation.
Is that how you see it, Mr Calvin? As the ultimate trans Doctor Foley, would you mind leaving? What? Come on, just, just step outside Don't you dare touch HER! It's all right, Mr Calvin, it's fine.
THROUGH OBSERVATION SYSTEM: 'Mr Calvin, I hope how you enjoy water' What was all that about? Grace, the untouchable? God! I can't read him.
He seems to want us to believe he's got it in him to kill Mervyn Simmel! Doesn't mean he didn't.
Yeah, but he has got a certain expertise that makes him psychoanalytically aware.
Oh, you mean he's misdirecting us to cover up something else.
Yeah, but don't ask me what because I don't know yet.
OK, I won't ask you.
And what was all that about? Hmm? "Doctor Foley, will you please leave the interview".
Didn't see any point indulging him in his pretentious crap that was getting nowhere.
Oh, you don't mean my pretentious crap(?) I didn't say that did I? I said HIS pretentious crap.
OK, have you both looked at the bodies? Stella, if I can prevail upon you first.
Jump up on there.
That's brilliant.
And then, Spence, you come here.
Uh uh, open your legs, Stella.
That's it.
Spence, you take your hands out of your pocket and get in between her legs, and Stella put your hand up here, and the other one down here.
That's it and right round her.
Thereweare.
Having fun? Just in time.
All in the interest of science - ballistics actually.
Floor plan.
Thank you.
Now then, Stella, if you could lift your legs right up around his body.
There we go That's perfect.
Thank you.
Now, the bullet I recovered from the crime scene wall was exactly Given the trajectory it means that the bullet must've been fired from exactly here Bang! Outside the room? Yes.
OK, so then the bullet went through the male and the female into the wall.
That's it.
This is the picture.
That is the picture, and there's something else I want to show you, over here.
It's all right, you two can relax.
It's over here.
Spence! Right.
Spence! If you look you can see this circle of puncture marks on her thigh, can you see? And over here Sorry.
.
.
erm on her back these faint scar tissues and striations.
We have a theory.
About the least secret Secret Society in the world.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Some members of Opus Dei practise mortification self-inflicting pain with a whip like this.
And this spiked collar called a celice worn around the thigh for two hours a day Puncture marks on Katherine's thigh, consistent with this celice being worn.
The scars on her back with self-flagellation, or "discipline", as they call it.
The theory is based on the link between the Catholic Church, Opus Dei and fraudulent dealings in the world's major banks.
The most well-known example being Roberto Calvi, the Pope's banker, also known as God's Banker, found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in 1982.
The people investigating the fraud into Calvi's bank, Emilio Alessandrini and police chief Boris Guiliano, were also assassinated.
If Katherine Keane was part of Opus Dei, her connection with the BICF bank and her and Simmel's resulting death could be much more involved than we originally thought.
Wow.
That's not a bad little theory.
Very good.
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS Boyd.
Hi, it's Lisa.
Lisa Tobin.
Oh, hi.
Hi, Lisa.
I spoke to my editor about writing a piece on you.
You and your Cold Case work.
Oh, what did you say my unique selling-point was? That, erm you were a gifted, morally-fragmented agent of justice who'd look good in a half-page photo.
I thought maybe we could meet and talk about it? Look, I'm gonna have to call you back, Lisa, OK? Bye.
OK, is this it? Yep, the Serious Fraud Office files have finally arrived.
I know what it is, but is this all of it? No, not quite.
Sir? Yeah? Hugo Keegan, Opus Dei's London director, wants to talk to you personally.
Whoa Is he on the phone or? No, he's already here.
Wh-wh-where have you put him? In reception.
Oh, my God.
OK.
Bring him into my office, will you, please? Your officer wanted information on individuals associated with our organisation.
That's right.
All I want to know is, was this woman Katherine Keane a member of Opus Dei? I asked to speak to a senior officer because I hoped you would appreciate my need for discretion and confidentiality.
I hope I was right.
Discretion, yes, but Opus Dei hasn't exactly been, erm, publicity-shy over the last few years, has it, Mr Keegan? But confidentiality, no.
I have a murder investigation in progress and reasons to believe that an Opus Dei member may be involved.
You mustn't make a fool of yourself, Detective Superintendent, by taking seriously the swirls of conspiracy that surround us.
Well let me share my my thinking with you because it might save us both a bit of time.
I know that you were in Rome in 1971 as part of an Opus Dei delegation.
A delegation that was offering to bail out the Vatican Bank which lost over $200 million in bad business deals.
In 1982, you had meetings with this man .
.
Roberto Calvi.
This is Calvi, two days later, hanging under Blackfriars Bridge.
The evidence is here.
Opus Dei has been connected with fraudulent deals between large banks, deals which have led to people being assassinated or found dead in suspicious circumstances.
OK.
Then we discover two bodies on the premises of a bank - a bank which has collapsed.
There's evidence that one of the victims may be an Opus Dei member.
Now, my investigation has to ask is history repeating itself here? Do you have a faith, Mr Boyd? Think of me as, erm a scientist of the enlightenment, er I follow the evidence and go where it takes me.
And nothing is sacred? Only the truth.
You know, doing a feature for your paper's not my kind of thing.
That's a shame.
We'd work well together.
How's the investigation going? The lovers' stories check out? Their alibis? Your favourite game - who killed Katherine Keane? Are you the only one with investment in this?! OK, you've got a job to do.
Why can't you tell me something? I don't share information.
There are things you're not telling me about Katherine.
Did you ever meet Katherine Keane? No, I never met her.
PHONE RINGS Hello? 'I have a Katherine Keane at reception for Lisa Tobin?' Tell her Lisa Tobin's not at her desk today.
Look, if there's something you think I should know about Katherine Keane, just call me.
I'll be in Dublin for a few days but when I get back Will you interview Declan Keane? But that's not the way it's supposed to work.
You're supposed to give ME information.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'll try and remember that.
Eye eye.
CAR RADIO: 'Are you ready for this? Thirty seconds on the clock.
'In that time we'll try and work out what you're thinking of.
'If we don't work out what it is, what do you shout at us?' I haven't got the manpower to cover even half of this unless we prioritise.
No, no, no.
No, you listen.
Listen, we've already spent too long trying to find this fella Declan Keane.
He's small potatoes.
Yeah, I know.
I can't allocate man-hours to finding a small-time dealer just because some arsehole from London thinks it's priority.
DI Bailey? Yeah? Superintendent Arsehole from London.
Top of the morning.
I'll call you back.
I take it we still don't know where Declan Keane is? Not exactly, sir, no.
DI Jordananother arsehole.
The thing of it is, sir, I have to meet the Area Commander in about eight minutes I'm sorry to interfere with your busy day.
It's just that I wasn't expecting you.
Why don't you just leave us what you have on Declan Keane and let us get on with it? OK, I'll see to that.
He's a nice chap.
Yeah.
Everything's in order now, Mr Keane.
Thanks a mill'.
Have a good day now.
Wow.
That's a pretty expensive piece of property Mr Calvin's sitting on.
Yeah, especially if you're a registered bankrupt.
When did I last see Brian McGurk? A life ago, before this me was born.
Right.
Can you be more specific? I knew him only through Mervyn Simmel.
I met him once or twice and I liked him less and less each time we met.
Does your psychotherapy business pay you well, Mr Calvin? You mean, did it buy me this fine place? No.
I'm pleased to say that a grateful client gifted the lease to my Calvin Foundation.
Very grateful.
Mr Calvin, when exactly did you last see Brian McGurk? Last night I had a dream about you, Grace.
Oh I saw you naked on a mountain-top.
The heavens rained down golden semen mythic Adam's pure impregnating seed.
From your belly came the first human life - the beginning of all men and women.
Now, let's see if we can succeed where Dublin's finest have failed, eh? I always thought there was a healthy profit-margin selling coke.
Well, maybe Declan's accountant didn't give him very good advice.
Are you ready? Yeah.
Clear? Clear.
On your right! Hey! There are questions we need to ask you, Mr Calvin.
Hmm, well, I will answer your questions if you'll answer ONE of mine in fair return.
OK.
Tell me what you dream of.
I dream I'm falling.
I'm a child, it's, erm, summertime, a perfect blue sky and I'm falling.
Please, don't insult me with this-thisthis textbook material.
If you want the truth from me give me the same.
What is it that you dream? Spence? In my dream, I can't breathe.
I wake up but I'm still dreaming, you know? There's a dark shape crouching on my chest.
An animal, it's heavy, it's weighing me down.
Declan! And do you never ask yourself what this is all about? I know what you're going to say it means.
The animal is a symbol of authority, like my father dictating how I should run my life.
Oh, don't be blind, Dr Foley.
The dream is not about your father.
The animal on your chest is Peter Boyd.
Don't, don't kill me! Take it all! Give me your hand! Give me your hand, I'm a police officer! Give me your hand! (Give me your hand.
) Aargh! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Ah! Come on! I got you! I got you! Oh, God! Aargh! Aargh! Give me your hands! Give me your hands! SIREN WAILS

Did you think I wasn't going to come? And let a prize like me get away? I knew you were smarter than that.
Hmm.
I've got something for you.
Oh? What's this? My reward? Maybe.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Morning.
I know I'm not late so you must've been here very early? Er, morning.
Ah, OK, are we all here? Morning.
OK, keep your coats on, we've got a date in the city.
Right, two bodies fall through the ceiling in a disused bank in the City of London.
I called them Adam and Eve.
I thought with the religious connotations of them falling down from above it was kind of symbolic don't you think? Very clever.
We've got an Eve.
Well, one's dead, one's alive.
All right In Eve's hand was a gold ingot.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
- Why is this a cold case? - Just hang on, hang on, one little second, all right? The ingot is inscribed with a 16 digit number Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy from the river.
Yes.
He had a 16-digit code, d'you remember? Cold case archive investigated 2000, no progress made, body was known as? The River Corpse.
Yeah? All right, white male, pulled from the Thames with a bullet in his head in 1993.
Punchtape was found in the lining of his coat.
Yup, with the same the ingot.
So, we have two murders, two pieces of evidence, linked by the same 16-digit number.
So, are we excited, or are we just plainexcited? Thus far, we have two passports in the name of Jane and George Ericsson one broken champagne flute a gold ingot on a gold chain and, two bodies still sexually conjoined, one male one female - the male with a bullet hole in his back.
It kind of screams crime of passion, doesn't it? Yup.
The foreman said the ceiling's not secure enough to get a ladder up there so I We could use the stairs.
OK.
Can I see the passports? Yeah, of course.
The current leaseholder of the building is the National Chinese Bank, before that, in summer 2004, it was Banco Niger.
Right, so from the staircase here it should be left and thenleft.
And two years before that it was Credit Italo-Suisse.
All these banks have a pretty short shelf-life.
Oh, don't be fooled by their flash titles, they're just a bunch of wide boys in handmade suits.
OK where is it? Hm? No idea.
Oh, shit, I give up.
Have you got everything? Yep, got it.
We found two plane tickets.
Yeah? London City Airport to Dublin, dated OK, so we gotta go further back with the leaseholder details.
What did you find? That's a problem you see cos the room that they fell from doesn't exist I've got the tracker.
I told Stella to get a tracker.
A tracker! Give us time to get there and hold it up to the ceiling all right? All right.
All right.
Starting now in fact.
What was the date on that ticket, Spence? 17th September, '92.
We've got to find out who occupied this building then.
- Who does? - You do.
I did all these rooms Poor girl I've been in It's not telling you to go in this bloody room? There isn't a hole here.
No hole.
It's a mystery, isn't it? What? Just trust the tracker.
TRACKER BEEPS It should be here.
Yeah.
You can forgive me for not knowing there was a hole behind the wall, can't you? Hang on, hang on.
Spence how about you? No, you're not going to move that, Spence.
Look, there's a spade over there.
Look.
Can you, er? Can you turn that down? Please.
Come on, come on, let the big boy tools deal with this.
OK.
Whoa.
Hang on Spence, hang on.
What's that? See that? What? Papers blowing, there's a draught here.
Where? Draught? Isn't it from Spence.
No, it's coming from here.
There's a catch here.
I need something to spring this catch.
Is that any use? It's a bit light.
There's a spoon over there.
No, that's all right.
It's all right.
Let's get the bookcase out the way.
Jesus.
Incredible! Boyd! Careful! Sorry.
You all right? Yes, it's OK.
Let's get out of here.
OK, yes, let's let Eve do her stuff OK.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
From January '90 to September '92 these were the offices of Bank International Credit and Finance.

What? Black Wednesday? Erm, you know, collapse of the pound.

Dental records tell us that Adam was in fact Mervyn Simmel, yeah, and he was director at? Bank International Credit and Finance.
B-I-C BICFA.
Simmel disappeared after Black Wednesday.
The day after Black Wednesday, wasn't it? Yup, OK.
A Serious Fraud Office investigation into the bank began a few days later.
They thought he'd scarpered with the bank funds.
Yes.
Instead he was in a room with a bullet in his back.
Passports - we found two of these at the scene of the crime and two airline tickets.
Departure date Same day they disappeared.
Now both passports are fakes.
Fake? We've sent details to Dublin Garda and put out passport photos of Now this is the one we know nothing about.
We don't know anything about Eve.
But Simmel's co-chairman at the bank was this man, Lucien Calvin.
- Ah huh? - He got eight years for fraud when the BCIF bank collapsed.
He was released 18 months ago.
Calvin was moved from a open prison to a high security unit early in his sentence.
He attacked a fellow inmate and broke his jaw and three fingers.
When the Serious Fraud Office came to question Mervyn Simmel they didn't know he was lying dead behind the closed door did they? All they could find was this letter.
Yeah.
Yeah, which was on his desk, which was? Oh, hang on, it was approximately over here.
All right, and it says "It's all just a game.
Money's the way we keep score.
"Don't let it get to you, Lucien.
Find yourself a place in the sun.
" Signed, Mervyn S.
And that's what he was planning to do - find a place in the sun - until somebody came along and shot him.
OK, shot him.
Let's go through it then from the beginning, shall we? OK.
Right, I arrive here Right, because you've got papers And I come in to meet my lover.
I've followed you in here.
That means I have access into the building so I must know or work for Mervyn Simmel, right? Right.
Excuse me.
DI Jordan.
Are you authorised to be here? Absolutely.
Syndicated Press.
I'm upholding a public right to be informed.
It's a closed crime scene - no press.
I'd like you to leave now, please.
Thank you.
Have you identified Mervyn Simmel's lover? No comment.
Do you have a name for her yet? No comment.
That's right.
So I go to the inner office Yes.
.
.
with my lover.
I come in and the door is open.
I see you both making passionate love.
And that makes you mad as hell.
Furious.
I'm crazed with rage, so I pull out my gun.
Clear premeditation.
And I shoot you.
Bang! So when the gunshot dies away you start to think clearly, you think, "I'm going to rot in jail for this.
" I'm going to rot in jail, so I wanna get away and cover everything up.
The suitcases, if they're not already there I put them in there.
I close the door and I get out of the building.
Right.
I've made some incisions in the chest wall cos there's the possibility of surgical enhancement.
Right, so if you could hold that for me.
Do I have to? Yeah, you have to, go on.
Nice and firm.
Thank you, that's great.
I've been doing a search on Lucien Calvin.
Ah.
The guy who did eight years for fraud? Found this.
Calvin Foundation dedicated to the psychological well-being in the financial sector.
He's going to be busy, isn't he? Silicone implant confirmed.
So Calvin's a psychotherapist? Yeah.
He's giving a private lecture for traders at Levy Goldenthal.
The merchant bank? Yeah, in an hour's time.
That'll be fun(!) Silicone sac reference code bears a DFA number.
Meaning what? Meaning that the surgery was American, so maybe she was too? Why does a major merchant bank like this invite a convicted fraud to give a lecture? Well, they come to see a man who stole a few hundred million and nearly got away with it.
Boyd.
Can you sign in, please? Dr Foley.
Calvin comes out of prison, he's self-taught, unqualified, he puts a sign over his door Here are your passes.
.
.
and tells the world he's a psychotherapist.
Thank you.
And your point is? It's worrying, isn't it? The kind of charlatans in your line of work, Grace.
But first we must trace back the root cause of our fascination with the money principle.
Freud tells us that before we answer the two great riddles of our childhood years, which are where babies come from and why little boys' bits are different from little girls' bits, we face another primal question.
What should we each do with our own shit? Mummy Mummy tells us that Mummy tells us that when we excrete on cue, "Good boy! Good boy!" she tells us.
We feel the wealth of her great love.
All adult accumulations of wealth reiterate this one basic equation - Money equals shit.
Money equals shit.
Gordon Gecko told us that greed is good.
Well, he was wrong.
Greed - it's now our god.
Man frees himself who overcomes himself.
Man frees himself who overcomes himself.
Er, I have some questions if I may? Detective Superintendent Boyd from the Cold Case Squad, and this is, erm Dr Foley.
Ya.
Is it a crime now to disparage money? I enjoyed that very much, I really did.
We'd like to know about your relationship with Mervyn Simmel.
Heated, erm, frosty, murderous.
We shared a love that proudly screamed its name - money.
Mervyn Simmel was found dead.
He was shot in the back.
You don't seem at all surprised by that.
Oh, Mervyn stopped surprising me years ago.
Are you, er, Grace Foley, Laws Of Love And Rage? Yes.
It's my latest book.
I know, I know.
When did you last see Mervyn Simmel? Er, 1992.
I think I said "I hope you roast in hell and rats tear at your flesh.
" Were you in London on September 17th, the day after Black Wednesday? No.
I was in Glasgow, talking to creditors, trying to save the bank from collapse, you'll take me in, for further questioning? Yeah, well we'll be in touch if we have any more questions.
Thank you.
"Money is shit", eh? I like that.
Thank you.
We've got an ID on the female body.
Silicone implant records in Florida show that she got her cosmetic work done there, but she is, was, actually Irish.
Her name's Katherine Keane.
Do we know anything about her apart from her cup size? She was a financial journalist, hits on the web show she broke some of the biggest fraud stories of the '80s.
- Anyone report her missing? - Her husband, Declan Keane, in September '92.
FILM: 'I can't believe my wife did not intend to contact me after she walked out of our flat that day.
' This is ten days after Katherine disappeared.
What do we think? Do we believe him? The investigating officer believed him.
'If you're watching this, Katherine, please get in touch, just to let me know you're safe and well.
' There was a lot of press coverage at the time.
Reading between the lines, I'd say it was a very unusual relationship.
They met in London, fell for each other immediately and within three weeks they were married.
Phew! He was a writer, very ambitious, thought the world's press was going to beat a path to his door, but the world didn't seem interested.
What happened to him after this? He went back to Dublin in 2001, the Garda are trying to find him for us.
There's something else here.
Hi, Lisa Tobin, Syndicated Press.
Er, did your wife give any impression that she was unhappy with the way her life was going? That's the journalist I saw at the crime scene.
Now, she made the connection between Mervyn Simmel and Katherine Keane before we did.
Did she now? Why d'you want me to sit in on the interview? Because I take an instant dislike to journalists.
I wanna see if she's a run-of-the-mill hack or whether she has another agenda.
You're the expert on people.
Lisa Tobin.
Oh, hello, Lisa, Dr Foley, thank you for your time.
This is Detective Detective Superintendent Boyd.
Yes, yes, I know you.
By reputation.
Oh.
Please sit down.
Thank you.
Ah.
Er, Katherine Keane, can you tell us what you know about her, please? I know quite a lot.
I started researching her biography about six years ago.
After Black Wednesday the trail goes cold.
We think we may have found the body.
Yes, that's what I thought.
I knew Katherine was seeing Mervyn Simmel when she disappeared.
You knew what the police didn't know in 1992.
Well, they didn't look very hard.
Why should they? Her husband wakes up one morning and finds his wife's packed up and gone.
As far as they knew she'd run out on him.
Now we've found the body, you'll be able to complete the last chapter of your biography.
No, the last chapter's about who killed her, isn't it? Declan Keane, her husband Well, when Katherine disappeared, Declan just fell apart.
He went back to Dublin.
Before long, he was sleeping on friends' floors.
Then he took to drug-dealing, pretty small-scale.
As far as I know he's still dealing.
It gives him an income and a new dependency to replace Katherine - cocaine.
OUTSIDE CAR DOORS SHUT DOORBELL BUZZES Place doesn't even look occupied.
Hello! DI Bailey, Garda Siochana! Waste of bloody time.
KATHERINE'S WORDS: "Declan, when you read these words I will already be dead.
"Don't grieve for me, I had more life than I deserved.
"Better by far you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad.
"Think of this as my gift "to make your dream come true.
" Will you be questioning Declan Keane? Er probably.
Er, yes, I'd better take that, sorry.
You know, if we share information it could only help raise the profile of the Cold Case Squad.
Oh, huh huh.
And its boss.
I know my editor'd be very interested in you as a subject.
No that wouldn't work, I'm far too shy.
And I have a badge in my pocket which means you're gonna give me any information that I want anyway, so Well, the thing to understand about Katherine Keane is she had a very complicated love life - relationships with many powerful men, financiers, captains of industry.
Do you know who they were? Well, by the time of Black Wednesday, apart from Mervyn Simmel, she had three other lovers.
Here she is, seductress par excellence who cheated on her husband with these four men.
Could we lose the emotive language and leave the character assessment to me? The fact is she had four lovers at the time she disappeared, and they're ones we know about.
There could be loads of others What if her husband had lovers and he knew about these guys? Thank you, Spence.
They deserved each other.
Why are we getting emotional about this? Move on.
It's obviously a very touchy subject.
OK Mervyn Simmel, he was the first one and we know about him, bank chairman.
This is the city alderman, Philip White, who met Katherine Keane at the Forbes Businessman of the Year lunch in 1989 - thought she was on the menu.
It's a joke, Grace.
It's a joke.
There was the merchant banker, Anthony Garland.
He proposed to Katherine Keane seven times.
He obviously didn't see her husband as being an obstacle at all.
He also bought her a Mercedes convertible after their second date.
This is Iain Taggart, Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry.
Who took various seminars, in adjoining rooms, of course, in Beijing Yeah, well who paid for all that? So why aren't these names in the investigation file? Well, because Spence, these guys all have high positions in life Oh, 'scuse me.
And they would lose a lot if they came forward.
So Garland here, he died last year and he was in Hong Kong the day of the murder so he's out.
That leaves us.
Get him out of the way cos he's dead.
That leaves these two.
We should get them in and talk to them.
You should because you're the expert in character assessment.
I, perhaps, can just look and learn.
Absolutely.
Can you tell us when you last saw Katherine Keane? Katherine Keane, the journalist? Yes.
She went missing, didn't she? Mr Taggart, you're a politician so I assume you're a busy man.
So let's not waste time.
You had an affair with Katherine Keane in 1992.
That was a statement, not a question.
We've reopened the investigation into her disappearance.
We think we may have found her body.
Let's start again.
She was remarkable.
You just wanted to be with her and for her to smile at you.
She interviewed me for some piece for the Financial Times, I think.
Even now there isn't a day I don't think about You thought so much of her you didn't even come forward when she disappeared.
I had a I have a wife and a position.
The press would've crucified me.
Alderman White! I was hoping I could have a few words.
Are you the journalist who's been harassing my secretary? Yes, I'm afraid so.
I'm writing a piece about the major figures in the City in the nineties.
Obviously I couldn't leave you out.
And I wish you luck with it but today is not a good day, Miss Tobin, Lisa Tobin.
We have met before actually, about two years ago.
I was researching a book.
You sound like a very productive woman, Miss Tobin.
A book about Katherine Keane.
I think the police have found her.
You were her lover, weren't you, Alderman White? I'm sorry.
I'm afraid your facts are wrong.
Katherine was a very special woman.
It gave me a great deal of pleasure to make her happy.
Oh, you mean buying her things and taking her to different places? Yeah.
Mmm.
We came to an understanding about the gifts.
Gifts? I bought her pieces of jewellery that I never saw her wear.
I know she sold them to help pay the bills.
It's a bit like paying for it though.
I mean it's a bit mercenary Somehow it wasn't with Katherine.
Oh.
She was like one of those brilliant heroines from Russian literature.
Did you ever meet her husband? Er, no I gather he was something of a liability.
When Katherine disappeared you didn't notify the police.
Why was that? I told myself I didn't know anything that could help the investigation.
My affair with Katherine had been over for months.
I saw her last in August '92 at a dinner party.
I know you still think that Katherine Keane is a promiscuous and undiscerning seducer.
She's very discerning.
Her lovers weren't poor.
Her seduction skills were very well-developed.
Obviously.
Yeah, but what I mean is that we all have seduction skills.
I mean, as children, that's how we learn to charm our parents.
But if somebody doesn't put a boundary to set the limits we go on using it for the rest of our lives.
With you people everything's the parents' fault.
Girls, what do you think? Boyd thinks that any woman who has surgery to enhance her breasts is a slapper.
I did not say "slapper".
If men will worship the breast you can't blame women for taking advantage of it.
We're talking of a woman with multiple lovers, getting gifts from the lovers and selling the gifts! Having more than one lover doesn't make her a slut.
Well, it doesn't exactly make you a saint, does it? Well, what? She had the sort of power men are supposed to have? Because you outnumber me doesn't make you right.
Moving right along, what've we got? The bullet from the crime scene wall doesn't match the one recovered from the skull of the River Corpse but I do have an ID on the River Corpse.
You've got an ID for a case on which we got nowhere? You got a fingerprint match? There was a bit of lateral thinking.
That's cos you're a woman.
Yes, quite.
There were ID card trials carried out in 1990 that tested the fingerprints of civil servants for accuracy.
Aren't they supposed to destroy all that stuff? Obviously not.
Naive.
One of the trials included a set that matches our River Corpse.
And who is he? He's Brian McGurk.
He was an aide to the Irish ambassador in London from '88 until he was sacked in August 1992.
Irish connection.
How are the Garda getting on with Declan Keane? They didn't find him.
They went to his home.
He wasn't there.
- And that's it? - That's it.
- Don't you just love the Irish?! 'Do you want to leave a message?' I've already left a message.
'He'll be back later.
' OK, well just tell him to call Detective Superintendent Boyd.
'Say again?' Boyd.
'Could you spell that for me, sir?' B O Y D.
'Thank you.
' Yeah, all right, thanks for your help.
If they don't get off their arses, we'll have to go to Dublin.
Cool.
We're going to Dublin?! No, we're going to Dublin.
We're going to Dublin.
Calvin's alibi for the night of the murder is crumbling.
He says he was in Glasgow for three days talking to creditors He left the day before Black Wednesday and returned two days after.
I spoke to the man who chaired the creditors' meeting.
He says Calvin was absent all of the last day.
So he had enough time to go back to London and murder his partner? Exactly.
What am I supposed to do? What do you think? Yeah? Grace'd love to have another chat with him.
You're going to Dublin?!! That's so unfair.
Thank you for meeting me, Hugo.
I didn't know who else to talk to.
There is no need for you to worry, Philip.
The police will ask questions, the press also will ask questions, the world will turn our work will continue.
But if the truth becomes known The truth is always known.
There's nothing we can hide from the Father in Heaven.
Of course, but I If you're anxious that these developments might affect your elevation within the Work of God No, no, it's not that.
The things that happened are in the past.
You must forgive yourself as the Father has forgiven you.
Be at peace.
Possiamo avere un problema con Alderman White Si, si, si.
You went to Glasgow to talk to creditors the day before Black Wednesday.
I'm afraid that it was some time ago.
I'm not the man I was.
Which of us is? And you returned to London three days later? You think I came back down and killed Mervyn Simmel? I wonder if that's true? Perhaps I did.
Mervyn Simmel's body was found, along with this woman Katherine Keane, who was also dead.
Did you know her? You know I think that your little team would make a very interesting case study.
The young ones, they're so very well-behaved, and obviously both truly keen to please.
Here, we have the wise and faithful matriarch Answer the question.
And you, Peter Boyd how do you fit in? Did you know Katherine Keane? I always think that Oedipus got a bad press, don't you? He was, like most of us, misunderstood.
He just really loved his mother.
The two bodies fell to the ground through the ceiling.
Like Adam and Eve.
Such a potent image.
Sinful Eve, symbolic of the female element of the male.
Adam, the first man, created out of dust from the four corners of the Earth.
Could we have the seminar some other time? This isn't fairytale creationism, this is about flesh and blood fact.
This is about the maggots and the blowflies that ate their organs.
You must be very proud.
This is a murder investigation about a sudden, violent death! Death.
The ultimate transformation.
Is that how you see it, Mr Calvin? As the ultimate trans Doctor Foley, would you mind leaving? What? Come on, just, just step outside Don't you dare touch HER! It's all right, Mr Calvin, it's fine.
THROUGH OBSERVATION SYSTEM: 'Mr Calvin, I hope how you enjoy water' What was all that about? Grace, the untouchable? God! I can't read him.
He seems to want us to believe he's got it in him to kill Mervyn Simmel! Doesn't mean he didn't.
Yeah, but he has got a certain expertise that makes him psychoanalytically aware.
Oh, you mean he's misdirecting us to cover up something else.
Yeah, but don't ask me what because I don't know yet.
OK, I won't ask you.
And what was all that about? Hmm? "Doctor Foley, will you please leave the interview".
Didn't see any point indulging him in his pretentious crap that was getting nowhere.
Oh, you don't mean my pretentious crap(?) I didn't say that did I? I said HIS pretentious crap.
OK, have you both looked at the bodies? Stella, if I can prevail upon you first.
Jump up on there.
That's brilliant.
And then, Spence, you come here.
Uh uh, open your legs, Stella.
That's it.
Spence, you take your hands out of your pocket and get in between her legs, and Stella put your hand up here, and the other one down here.
That's it and right round her.
Thereweare.
Having fun? Just in time.
All in the interest of science - ballistics actually.
Floor plan.
Thank you.
Now then, Stella, if you could lift your legs right up around his body.
There we go That's perfect.
Thank you.
Now, the bullet I recovered from the crime scene wall was exactly Given the trajectory it means that the bullet must've been fired from exactly here Bang! Outside the room? Yes.
OK, so then the bullet went through the male and the female into the wall.
That's it.
This is the picture.
That is the picture, and there's something else I want to show you, over here.
It's all right, you two can relax.
It's over here.
Spence! Right.
Spence! If you look you can see this circle of puncture marks on her thigh, can you see? And over here Sorry.
.
.
erm on her back these faint scar tissues and striations.
We have a theory.
About the least secret Secret Society in the world.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Some members of Opus Dei practise mortification self-inflicting pain with a whip like this.
And this spiked collar called a celice worn around the thigh for two hours a day Puncture marks on Katherine's thigh, consistent with this celice being worn.
The scars on her back with self-flagellation, or "discipline", as they call it.
The theory is based on the link between the Catholic Church, Opus Dei and fraudulent dealings in the world's major banks.
The most well-known example being Roberto Calvi, the Pope's banker, also known as God's Banker, found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in 1982.
The people investigating the fraud into Calvi's bank, Emilio Alessandrini and police chief Boris Guiliano, were also assassinated.
If Katherine Keane was part of Opus Dei, her connection with the BICF bank and her and Simmel's resulting death could be much more involved than we originally thought.
Wow.
That's not a bad little theory.
Very good.
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS Boyd.
Hi, it's Lisa.
Lisa Tobin.
Oh, hi.
Hi, Lisa.
I spoke to my editor about writing a piece on you.
You and your Cold Case work.
Oh, what did you say my unique selling-point was? That, erm you were a gifted, morally-fragmented agent of justice who'd look good in a half-page photo.
I thought maybe we could meet and talk about it? Look, I'm gonna have to call you back, Lisa, OK? Bye.
OK, is this it? Yep, the Serious Fraud Office files have finally arrived.
I know what it is, but is this all of it? No, not quite.
Sir? Yeah? Hugo Keegan, Opus Dei's London director, wants to talk to you personally.
Whoa Is he on the phone or? No, he's already here.
Wh-wh-where have you put him? In reception.
Oh, my God.
OK.
Bring him into my office, will you, please? Your officer wanted information on individuals associated with our organisation.
That's right.
All I want to know is, was this woman Katherine Keane a member of Opus Dei? I asked to speak to a senior officer because I hoped you would appreciate my need for discretion and confidentiality.
I hope I was right.
Discretion, yes, but Opus Dei hasn't exactly been, erm, publicity-shy over the last few years, has it, Mr Keegan? But confidentiality, no.
I have a murder investigation in progress and reasons to believe that an Opus Dei member may be involved.
You mustn't make a fool of yourself, Detective Superintendent, by taking seriously the swirls of conspiracy that surround us.
Well let me share my my thinking with you because it might save us both a bit of time.
I know that you were in Rome in 1971 as part of an Opus Dei delegation.
A delegation that was offering to bail out the Vatican Bank which lost over $200 million in bad business deals.
In 1982, you had meetings with this man .
.
Roberto Calvi.
This is Calvi, two days later, hanging under Blackfriars Bridge.
The evidence is here.
Opus Dei has been connected with fraudulent deals between large banks, deals which have led to people being assassinated or found dead in suspicious circumstances.
OK.
Then we discover two bodies on the premises of a bank - a bank which has collapsed.
There's evidence that one of the victims may be an Opus Dei member.
Now, my investigation has to ask is history repeating itself here? Do you have a faith, Mr Boyd? Think of me as, erm a scientist of the enlightenment, er I follow the evidence and go where it takes me.
And nothing is sacred? Only the truth.
You know, doing a feature for your paper's not my kind of thing.
That's a shame.
We'd work well together.
How's the investigation going? The lovers' stories check out? Their alibis? Your favourite game - who killed Katherine Keane? Are you the only one with investment in this?! OK, you've got a job to do.
Why can't you tell me something? I don't share information.
There are things you're not telling me about Katherine.
Did you ever meet Katherine Keane? No, I never met her.
PHONE RINGS Hello? 'I have a Katherine Keane at reception for Lisa Tobin?' Tell her Lisa Tobin's not at her desk today.
Look, if there's something you think I should know about Katherine Keane, just call me.
I'll be in Dublin for a few days but when I get back Will you interview Declan Keane? But that's not the way it's supposed to work.
You're supposed to give ME information.
Yes, I'm sorry.
I'll try and remember that.
Eye eye.
CAR RADIO: 'Are you ready for this? Thirty seconds on the clock.
'In that time we'll try and work out what you're thinking of.
'If we don't work out what it is, what do you shout at us?' I haven't got the manpower to cover even half of this unless we prioritise.
No, no, no.
No, you listen.
Listen, we've already spent too long trying to find this fella Declan Keane.
He's small potatoes.
Yeah, I know.
I can't allocate man-hours to finding a small-time dealer just because some arsehole from London thinks it's priority.
DI Bailey? Yeah? Superintendent Arsehole from London.
Top of the morning.
I'll call you back.
I take it we still don't know where Declan Keane is? Not exactly, sir, no.
DI Jordananother arsehole.
The thing of it is, sir, I have to meet the Area Commander in about eight minutes I'm sorry to interfere with your busy day.
It's just that I wasn't expecting you.
Why don't you just leave us what you have on Declan Keane and let us get on with it? OK, I'll see to that.
He's a nice chap.
Yeah.
Everything's in order now, Mr Keane.
Thanks a mill'.
Have a good day now.
Wow.
That's a pretty expensive piece of property Mr Calvin's sitting on.
Yeah, especially if you're a registered bankrupt.
When did I last see Brian McGurk? A life ago, before this me was born.
Right.
Can you be more specific? I knew him only through Mervyn Simmel.
I met him once or twice and I liked him less and less each time we met.
Does your psychotherapy business pay you well, Mr Calvin? You mean, did it buy me this fine place? No.
I'm pleased to say that a grateful client gifted the lease to my Calvin Foundation.
Very grateful.
Mr Calvin, when exactly did you last see Brian McGurk? Last night I had a dream about you, Grace.
Oh I saw you naked on a mountain-top.
The heavens rained down golden semen mythic Adam's pure impregnating seed.
From your belly came the first human life - the beginning of all men and women.
Now, let's see if we can succeed where Dublin's finest have failed, eh? I always thought there was a healthy profit-margin selling coke.
Well, maybe Declan's accountant didn't give him very good advice.
Are you ready? Yeah.
Clear? Clear.
On your right! Hey! There are questions we need to ask you, Mr Calvin.
Hmm, well, I will answer your questions if you'll answer ONE of mine in fair return.
OK.
Tell me what you dream of.
I dream I'm falling.
I'm a child, it's, erm, summertime, a perfect blue sky and I'm falling.
Please, don't insult me with this-thisthis textbook material.
If you want the truth from me give me the same.
What is it that you dream? Spence? In my dream, I can't breathe.
I wake up but I'm still dreaming, you know? There's a dark shape crouching on my chest.
An animal, it's heavy, it's weighing me down.
Declan! And do you never ask yourself what this is all about? I know what you're going to say it means.
The animal is a symbol of authority, like my father dictating how I should run my life.
Oh, don't be blind, Dr Foley.
The dream is not about your father.
The animal on your chest is Peter Boyd.
Don't, don't kill me! Take it all! Give me your hand! Give me your hand, I'm a police officer! Give me your hand! (Give me your hand.
) Aargh! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! Ah! Come on! I got you! I got you! Oh, God! Aargh! Aargh! Give me your hands! Give me your hands! SIREN WAILS
