00:00:30Good, Charlotte. That's nice. Peter, together. Come on, together. Great. Yeah, that's better. Lovely.

00:00:37Munro, back with the group. Back with the group. Dave, catch up with him, will you? Get the little sock back on the course and give him a mouthful.

00:00:50We have indicated in the tables a clear evaluation of those community programmes which have emerged and which have proved successful.

00:00:59Sadly, this success rate is well below our projected analysis of that time.

00:01:06To give you just a few percentages of offending young adults, re-offending young adults, as well as time served within the criminal justice system and in community-based service, we find the following evidence.

00:01:19Going back as far as 1977, when these statistics were first put into any kind of...

00:01:29And while there was only one thing I'd say that they would believe in those people making decisions about just an upcoming community,

00:01:32he would have to just walk that far.

00:01:34And while we willingly saying, like, fucking ants, we're still not erk

00:01:56Oh, thank you very much.

00:02:06It's a bit weak, but it will fortify the brain cells.

00:02:09I need all the help I can get.

00:02:16There's a public phone out there.

00:02:20Um, excuse me, but I really need to use this phone.

00:02:26Sorry, Inspector.

00:02:34Oh, leave it.

00:02:38Hello.

00:02:39I'm Pam Hartley, one of the organisers.

00:02:42Oh, all right. I'm Detective Inspector Frost.

00:02:45How do you do?

00:02:46I'm really pleased the police have managed to send a senior officer.

00:02:50I've been meaning to say hello since I saw you yesterday.

00:02:54Oh, right. Yes, well, hello.

00:02:57Fairly dry this morning, I'm afraid.

00:02:59Statistics aren't my strong suit.

00:03:01No, not mine either, but still.

00:03:05Saw you scribbling away, though.

00:03:07Um, oh, yes.

00:03:09I'm just keeping up to date.

00:03:11The more we can involve the police in this, the better.

00:03:13This affects us all.

00:03:15Well, it certainly affected me this morning.

00:03:17I've got to go and do my social bit.

00:03:20I just want to say thank you.

00:03:21Hmm?

00:03:22Oh, oh.

00:03:22For making the effort.

00:03:24Not at all.

00:03:25Not at all.

00:03:25Ah, this is D.I. Frost.

00:03:37My laundry ready?

00:03:51What's going on?

00:04:20Is the Queen paying us a visit?

00:04:22She isn't, but her inspector is.

00:04:24How come you're not at the briefing?

00:04:26What briefing's that then?

00:04:28Sir, you don't need me to tell you

00:04:30that responsibility for an effective police force

00:04:33is shared by three parties.

00:04:36The Home Secretary,

00:04:38police authorities,

00:04:40and the Chief Constables.

00:04:42Now,

00:04:44this visit

00:04:46by Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary

00:04:50is vital.

00:04:52Absolutely vital to the granting

00:04:54of our operational budget

00:04:56and the future success

00:04:58of our division.

00:05:00Well, never mind about me, young Trigg.

00:05:02Why aren't you at the briefing

00:05:04with the rest of you?

00:05:06You think the HMI can make any sense

00:05:08of what goes on in my room?

00:05:10I hate coppers who beat the system.

00:05:12And guess where I learned it?

00:05:14Sorry.

00:05:16All right.

00:05:18Hey, George, George.

00:05:20What?

00:05:22What's going on?

00:05:24He's had everybody in there by the canteen staff.

00:05:26No, no.

00:05:27Their briefings later.

00:05:28Oh, no.

00:05:29Oh, look at that.

00:05:30Ah, Jack.

00:05:31Ah, there you are, sir.

00:05:32Sorry I missed your briefings.

00:05:34Just that those psychologists and social workers

00:05:36needed a bit of a hand with their crime statistics.

00:05:38Now, Jack, short and simple.

00:05:39Mm-hmm.

00:05:40All paperwork up to date.

00:05:41No excuses.

00:05:42You know the drill.

00:05:43And, Jack, I don't want HMI to walk in

00:05:45and catch CID with their feet on a desk slurping tea.

00:05:47Get your people out on the streets.

00:05:48Sure.

00:05:49Right.

00:05:50Right.

00:05:51Well, there's nothing left on the slate.

00:05:52Paperwork's nice and tidy.

00:05:53Let us whip down the town for a nice cuppa.

00:05:54Jack.

00:05:55Hmm?

00:05:56Hmm?

00:05:57Hmm?

00:05:58Hmm?

00:05:59Hmm?

00:06:00Hmm?

00:06:01Hmm?

00:06:02Hmm?

00:06:03Hmm?

00:06:04Hmm?

00:06:05Hmm?

00:06:06Hmm?

00:06:07Hmm?

00:06:08Hmm?

00:06:09Hmm?

00:06:10Hmm?

00:06:11Hmm?

00:06:12Hmm?

00:06:13Hmm?

00:06:14Hmm?

00:06:15Hmm?

00:06:16Hmm?

00:06:17Hmm?

00:06:18Hmm?

00:06:19Or, then again, maybe not.

00:06:36Are you doing your time?

00:06:37Good morning to you, Dr Mackenzie.

00:06:40You have to know that we're in the middle of a major inspection

00:06:44from which this incident has thankfully delivered us.

00:06:49Yes, I have.

00:06:50What do you mean you heard?

00:06:51Have you got spies in our camp or what?

00:06:53Mullet told me.

00:06:54Is there any pest for me to make sure the paperwork's on time?

00:06:57Right, Frost, we haven't got all day.

00:06:59Let's look at dead laddie.

00:07:00Anything on dead laddie?

00:07:03Nothing.

00:07:04What do you mean, nothing?

00:07:06Not even a clean handkerchief in his pocket.

00:07:09Oh, I don't think he was going out expecting to catch a cold, was he?

00:07:13What was it, suicide, you think?

00:07:15Not having shared any deep philosophical discussions with him,

00:07:18it would be difficult to assess his state of mind.

00:07:21But you could hazard a guess,

00:07:23considering the condition that he is in.

00:07:26He's in a bit of a mess.

00:07:28He probably jumped or fell down the wall of the dam,

00:07:32which would make life easier for you.

00:07:34Ah, the lads over there found him.

00:07:37Just as well.

00:07:39For another couple of hours,

00:07:40he'd been coming out of someone's tap.

00:07:43Very droll.

00:07:46Why, George, I tell you what,

00:07:47you go and have a chat with those lads.

00:07:50I'm going to have a look up there.

00:07:52OK.

00:07:52We'll see you next time.

00:08:23Anything up there?

00:08:40As far as I can see.

00:08:42Seems likely to be some sort of accident, isn't it?

00:08:45A bit of sightseeing gone wrong.

00:08:47Any sign of a parked car on the track down there?

00:08:50No.

00:08:50Well, he must have got here somehow.

00:08:54He wouldn't have walked all the way from town.

00:08:57He was hardly dressed for a stroll in the countryside, was he?

00:09:00Well, maybe someone gave him a lift.

00:09:02Or a taxi took him as far as he could.

00:09:05Yeah.

00:09:06See if you can get his description on the local news.

00:09:09Also, check out the taxis in the local vicinity.

00:09:13Well, it's obvious he didn't want to be identified.

00:09:15Well, if someone else didn't, won't help it, George.

00:09:23I've got a suspicious mind.

00:09:24Yes, Mike?

00:09:41Um, I left my flask at home this morning and was wondering if you'd mind me making a cuppa.

00:09:44Of course not.

00:09:45Help us out.

00:09:46It's all.

00:09:46You all right, then, Mr Harris?

00:09:48Keep him busy.

00:09:49As busy as I can be.

00:09:52You finished that veggie patch yet?

00:09:54Nearly, yeah.

00:09:56Just get some of that manure raked in and we'll soon have some decent greens, eh?

00:09:59What are you doing in here?

00:10:01I'm just making myself a cuppa.

00:10:02I don't want you in the house, Mike.

00:10:04Jean.

00:10:04Well, I'm not doing any harm.

00:10:06I don't want you in here.

00:10:08Not good enough, mate.

00:10:09You walk mud through.

00:10:13Oh, yeah.

00:10:14Sorry.

00:10:15I'll bring you your tea.

00:10:18Jean.

00:10:20It doesn't matter.

00:10:22It does.

00:10:24It's not right he comes in here.

00:10:31Ah, got a hair out of place.

00:10:34I hope this new DC's paperwork is up to speed.

00:10:38What's his name again?

00:10:39Mulligan?

00:10:40Lonegan.

00:10:41Oh, Lonegan.

00:10:42Irish, is he?

00:10:44Excuse me!

00:10:45What the hell do you think you're doing in my office?

00:10:47You what?

00:10:48George, get in touch with the front desk, will you?

00:10:50Jack.

00:10:50Find out why members of the public are now.

00:10:52What?

00:10:52This is Lonegan.

00:10:58Oh.

00:10:58Oh, right.

00:10:59Sorry.

00:10:59Sorry about that.

00:11:01So.

00:11:03My mistake?

00:11:04Ronnie Lonegan.

00:11:05Ah, Ronnie.

00:11:06Ronnie Lonegan.

00:11:07It reminds me.

00:11:08It sounds like Lonnie.

00:11:09Lonnie Donnegan.

00:11:10That's him.

00:11:11Yeah.

00:11:12Lonnie Donnegan.

00:11:13You remember Lonnie Donnegan, don't you, George?

00:11:16Do you remember him?

00:11:17Yeah.

00:11:17He's that skiffle player.

00:11:18You know that song here?

00:11:19Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bed?

00:11:22Oh.

00:11:23Right.

00:11:24Yes.

00:11:24Well.

00:11:25So.

00:11:26You, er, normally in Mufti, are you, er, Ronnie?

00:11:31Temporary attachment here, Gov.

00:11:32I've been working undercover for several months in London.

00:11:35Well.

00:11:36Well, good.

00:11:37It's going to be nice to have a splash of colour round here.

00:11:41Yeah.

00:11:42Sorry.

00:11:42What I meant was of number.

00:11:43I know what you mean, Gov.

00:11:45Right.

00:11:46Good.

00:11:47Yes.

00:11:48Good.

00:11:48Because I hate being misunderstood.

00:11:51Most people do.

00:11:52Well, I see you've, er, made yourself useful.

00:11:59All sorted as Sergeant Toole and requested, sir.

00:12:01Yes.

00:12:02Yes.

00:12:02Never been so neat and tidy.

00:12:05All nicely stacked.

00:12:07You're like that at home, are you?

00:12:08Husband does the washing up, you do the drying.

00:12:11Well, it would be difficult...

00:12:13Jack.

00:12:14She's a widow.

00:12:17You drop me in it one more time, George, and you're back on the beat.

00:12:22It won't see.

00:12:41It doesn't want to.

00:12:44Later.

00:12:49There was severe trauma to his body.

00:12:52He'd been pummeled by the water, probably against the concrete walls or the bottom of the water sluice.

00:12:59And, er, suicide or otherwise, he didn't die in the water where he was found.

00:13:05Well, he hardly swam upstream to his death, did he?

00:13:11Interestingly, there were traces of chemicals in his lungs.

00:13:14There are no chemical plants in dental.

00:13:16These chemicals are fairly common.

00:13:18The kind people use in the filtration systems for a swimming pool.

00:13:21Chlorine?

00:13:22No.

00:13:23Chlorine dissipates almost immediately in the body.

00:13:26Besides, there's too much pulmonary edema in his lungs to detect any traces.

00:13:30Private and public swimming pools, then.

00:13:32Right, well, there you are, George.

00:13:34It's a little job for you and Lonergan.

00:13:35Go and suss out all the rich and famous in Denton with swimming pools.

00:13:39That shouldn't take you more than ten minutes.

00:13:42Where are you going?

00:13:43On to the psychologist's couch.

00:13:46I hope.

00:13:47It's a little job for you.

00:14:02It's a little job for you.

00:14:04It's a little job for you to get to the destination.

00:14:06I hope you got to the destination.

00:14:07It's a little job for you.

00:14:08It's a little job for you.

00:14:10You're the only job for you.

00:14:12Let's take a look.

00:14:14Okay.

00:14:16All right, Terry.

00:14:20I think that was a good session, don't you?

00:14:23Yeah, yeah.

00:14:25All right.

00:14:31Bye, Terry.

00:14:33Yeah, all right, thanks.

00:14:36Hello.

00:14:38Hello there.

00:14:39Come through.

00:14:40Oh, thank you.

00:14:41It's nice to see you again, Inspector.

00:14:49Well, I got your message and I just happened to be passing

00:14:53and I thought, well, I'll pop in, see if she's busy or not.

00:14:57Well, I've got another client, but he's a bit late,

00:15:00so we've a few minutes.

00:15:03It's good of you to have taken the trouble.

00:15:06Well, not at all, Doctor.

00:15:09Pam.

00:15:10Oh, Pam.

00:15:11Well, call me Jack.

00:15:14Um, in your message,

00:15:17you said there was something I might be able to help you with.

00:15:19I hope so, yes.

00:15:21I'm really grateful you took such an interest in the last symposium.

00:15:27My pleasure.

00:15:29Look, I don't want to impose,

00:15:31but I wondered if you'd take part in another symposium.

00:15:35What, bums on seats, that sort of thing?

00:15:37Only if you can find the time.

00:15:39Well, yeah, well, I mean, if you can be there, I'm sure I can be there.

00:15:42It shouldn't take long for you to put together,

00:15:44not with the amount of direct experience you have.

00:15:47I'm sorry?

00:15:49I'm sorry?

00:15:50The paper.

00:15:52You want to interview me for a newspaper?

00:15:55I'm sorry.

00:15:57I'm being a bit vague, aren't I?

00:15:58I'd like you to give a short lecture

00:16:02on how you as a senior police officer

00:16:05suggest we stop young offenders progressing to violent crime.

00:16:12A talk?

00:16:13That's not a problem, is it?

00:16:15Hmm?

00:16:16Oh, no, no, no.

00:16:17No, no, no, of course not.

00:16:19No, absolutely no.

00:16:20Not at all.

00:16:31Mike!

00:16:32Can you help me?

00:16:35All right, Mr Harris.

00:16:36You up?

00:16:37I don't need to.

00:16:38Ah!

00:16:39My ribs.

00:16:41Put your arm for a minute.

00:16:48Oh, God.

00:16:49I can't take much more of this.

00:16:58Thank you, Mike.

00:17:00I'll stay here for a bit.

00:17:04Do you want a doctor?

00:17:05No.

00:17:06I'm all right.

00:17:06OK, let's get going.

00:17:11Here we go.

00:17:20OK.

00:17:22You feel a bit clammy, Mr Harris.

00:17:23I'm all right, thanks.

00:17:24Just leave me alone.

00:17:29I'm not saying he's out loud, Mr Harris.

00:17:35He's just taking the time for us all.

00:17:37Where's Jean?

00:17:38I don't know where she is.

00:17:39She went out this morning.

00:17:40Oh, God.

00:17:42What the devil's going on?

00:17:55You don't listen to my complaints, so I'm going to make sure you see him.

00:17:59Somebody turn this off now.

00:18:01Quickly.

00:18:01Now, Mr Fabriani, this just won't do at all.

00:18:11Why don't you go home and I'll make absolutely certain that your complaint is investigated.

00:18:15I was promised help.

00:18:16I'm not going nowhere until I get it.

00:18:20What's going on here, sir?

00:18:21Treating us all to a Florentino delight, oh?

00:18:24Jack, you're dealing with this, aren't you?

00:18:26Oh, yeah.

00:18:27Hello, Mr Fabriani.

00:18:28Look, someone's vandalising my vans.

00:18:30Now, you check out my opposition.

00:18:32Denny's Ice Cream is the one I'm telling you.

00:18:34My round is down the spout.

00:18:36No one's buying any of my stuff anymore.

00:18:38This is industrial sabotage, this is.

00:18:41For God's sake, Jack.

00:18:42Look, sir.

00:18:44Look, we've had the observers on his route.

00:18:47We've kept watch on his yard.

00:18:49This is just random vandalism.

00:18:50Look, HMI is due here any moment.

00:18:55Any moment, Jack.

00:18:57Now, just placate him, will you?

00:18:58Just get him out of here for everybody's sake.

00:19:01Just a minute.

00:19:02Hang on a minute.

00:19:03I mean, this is just a bit of aggression from the opposition.

00:19:06I've got a suspicious death to sort out.

00:19:09I've also got some paperwork to do for this psychologist's lot.

00:19:13Well, you never mention that.

00:19:15Oh, well, they've asked me to deliver a paper, haven't they?

00:19:18And I don't mean one through the letterbox, either.

00:19:20Well, that's excellent news, Jack.

00:19:22HMI will be most impressed.

00:19:24Still, Mr Fabriani here needs assurances.

00:19:27Just give them to him, will you?

00:19:29All right.

00:19:30I'll sort it out.

00:19:34All right.

00:19:35Come on, Jules.

00:19:35Get him out of these chains.

00:19:39All right, Mr Fabriani.

00:19:40We'll get this sorted.

00:19:41You better.

00:19:42Unless your governor wants a ton of vanilla world dumped on his doorstep.

00:19:46Would that be with the chocolate flake?

00:19:48We want to be here.

00:20:09Oh, yes.

00:20:10You might.

00:20:11What about Paul?

00:20:12Of course I do.

00:20:12Look, I can't keep an eye on you.

00:20:15You don't have to.

00:20:16I'm all right.

00:20:17You're not.

00:20:18Dad, please.

00:20:19Mr Harris, I really think he's...

00:20:20You should be ashamed of yourself.

00:20:22Stop it, now.

00:20:27And where were you?

00:20:30You could have lain out there all day for all you cared.

00:20:32Dad, stop it.

00:20:33I'm all right.

00:20:33He should never have called you.

00:20:35Just as well he did.

00:20:36I can't stay in all day.

00:20:38And this has nothing to do with you.

00:20:40It has everything to do with me.

00:20:42He's my son.

00:20:44Just happened to make a bad choice when it came to you, that's all.

00:20:47I know what's going on.

00:20:49Get out.

00:20:50I'll go when I'm good and ready.

00:20:56Look.

00:20:58You need a care worker.

00:21:01I'll see to him.

00:21:02I need to be left alone.

00:21:03This is my life, what's left of it.

00:21:07And Jean's my wife.

00:21:08Remember that.

00:21:09Now, leave us be dead, please.

00:21:11Just...

00:21:12Just leave us, all right?

00:21:24You look after your husband

00:21:27and treat him with some respect.

00:21:33Listen, about...

00:21:38What I said earlier.

00:21:42Dovner?

00:21:43You know, about your husband.

00:21:45Sorry, stupid.

00:21:47It was three years ago.

00:21:50You get past it.

00:21:51Yeah, I know, but it still must be tough for someone as young as you.

00:21:55I'm not so sure.

00:21:57I mean, I hadn't spent a lifetime with him.

00:22:01I'd like to have done that.

00:22:02Anyway, life goes on, as they say.

00:22:29Yes.

00:22:30Sweet and sour.

00:22:32Very much like this sandwich.

00:22:34Sir, what are we doing here?

00:22:37Information.

00:22:39See old Walter up there?

00:22:41He's been on the streets a lot longer than all of us lot put together.

00:22:44Sir, now, I want you to stay here and hold this.

00:22:50Will I tip you the wink, go out there, put a couple of quid in his hat and give the dog a piece of that?

00:22:54Sir?

00:22:56Well, you're making a donation and not asking any questions, right?

00:23:00So he'll remember that.

00:23:01The dog will get your scent and he'll remember that.

00:23:05My way of community policing.

00:23:07Hello, Walter.

00:23:13All right?

00:23:14How's the dog?

00:23:17She's getting on a bit.

00:23:18Well, she's burning and remembers you, though.

00:23:20All right.

00:23:22There you are, look.

00:23:25That's very good of you, Mr. Frost.

00:23:28Would you like a request?

00:23:30I just learned don't fence me in.

00:23:33Yeah, no, not just at the moment, thank you, Walter.

00:23:35No, no, no.

00:23:36Don't be shy, Mr. Frost.

00:23:38I know you like a good sing-song.

00:23:40Yes, I know.

00:23:41I do normally, Walter, but not today.

00:23:43Now, listen.

00:23:45Found a body up in the reservoir.

00:23:47No means of identification.

00:23:49If you hear anything on the streets, you let me know.

00:23:52All right?

00:23:55Right, you are in there.

00:23:57Oh, yeah.

00:23:58One other thing.

00:24:00Mr. Fabriani and his ice cream vans have been suffering from vandalism.

00:24:05Ah, restrictive trade practices.

00:24:08Yes, that's it.

00:24:09You know what I mean.

00:24:10Understood.

00:24:11Yeah, good man.

00:24:13That's it.

00:24:13Well, you carry on.

00:24:14Just give me land, let's have land, and the scary sky above.

00:24:23Don't fence me in.

00:24:23Go on.

00:24:24Don't be out.

00:24:24You're on.

00:24:25You're on.

00:24:25Don't fence me in.

00:24:41Sorry.

00:24:42Forgot to tell you, he doesn't like the pickle.

00:24:46Mr. Harris all right, is he?

00:24:48You shouldn't have said anything.

00:24:50Well, I didn't know what to do.

00:24:51Keep out of it is what you do.

00:24:53It's none of your business.

00:24:58Jean.

00:25:00Get my husband to pay whatever we owe you, then clear off out of here.

00:25:09Come.

00:25:13You wanted to see me, sir?

00:25:14Ah, yes, sir.

00:25:16Jack, yes.

00:25:16As you know, Mr. Babcock here, being our regional HMI, is influential in the formation of policy,

00:25:23and we, I mean he, and of course we, are particularly concerned that members of the public should have

00:25:33their sensibilities taken into account when dealing with the service.

00:25:37People need to feel a greater understanding about our role, Frost.

00:25:44That's what that document's about.

00:25:46Well, I couldn't agree more, sir.

00:25:48I'm all for getting rid of gobbledygook.

00:25:51Yes, um, Jack, uh...

00:25:52Ah, ah, I see what you're saying.

00:25:55I see.

00:25:56We're not to interrogate suspects any more.

00:26:00We're to use challenge techniques, are we?

00:26:03Ah, I see.

00:26:06Lots of interesting ideas in there, sir.

00:26:08There's another one here.

00:26:09Reduction and disruption in unlawful markets.

00:26:14Yes, I suppose that is a more gentle way of saying we're going to stop villains who deal

00:26:19with goods that fall off the backs of lorries.

00:26:22Hmm.

00:26:22Yeah.

00:26:23Sensibilities should stay intact with that one.

00:26:26You will distribute that document to your staff as I will to the rest of the station.

00:26:30Of course, sir.

00:26:30Can't wait.

00:26:36Any news on the dead man?

00:26:39No, sir, but the dead man is on the news.

00:26:47Continual policy and performance audits might not be in his vocabulary,

00:26:51but dinosaur police officers like Frost can hold this service back.

00:26:56I'd like to discuss D.I. Frost later.

00:26:58Now, let's get on, shall we?

00:27:00Of course we'll pay you.

00:27:02We always do.

00:27:03She often forgets, and I hate coming in here and bothering you.

00:27:08I haven't any cash.

00:27:12Do you remember the pin number?

00:27:14No.

00:27:15Three-six, four-six.

00:27:16All right?

00:27:17Some people say you were daft trusting me with this.

00:27:25Then they'd be wrong, wouldn't they?

00:27:27Yeah.

00:27:31Look, Mr Harris, about your wife.

00:27:34Get 20 pounds out for me, will you?

00:27:35And, um...

00:27:36Bring me some cigarettes.

00:27:49Oh, there you are.

00:27:50Have you read this, have you?

00:27:51No.

00:27:52We're not here to nick villains, you know.

00:27:54We are here to cause criminal incapacitation.

00:27:59And you can forget our targets.

00:28:01We are now going to have an increased value performance plan,

00:28:05which will be audited by a firm of...

00:28:07What are you doing?

00:28:09Making notes, Gov.

00:28:11You're not actually going to learn this stuff, are you?

00:28:13Well, I thought that was the idea.

00:28:17The idea is that we nick villains by the scruff of the neck

00:28:20when circumstances dictate and hopefully permit.

00:28:24And if you want to call a snout a human intelligence source,

00:28:28then you can be my guest.

00:28:30Come in.

00:28:32Jack, phone call from a woman.

00:28:35Says she knows that's stiff you pulled out the water.

00:28:37He booked him late yesterday.

00:28:40And Mr. Malloy, I had no idea he was going to kill himself.

00:28:44I wouldn't have taken the booking you find now.

00:28:47Yes, people tend not to mention that, do they, Mrs. Pomeroy?

00:28:50Still, it comes as something of a shock, you know.

00:28:56This is his room.

00:28:57Right.

00:28:59There's nothing in the wardrobe I checked.

00:29:01He was wearing his overcoat.

00:29:03How did he pay, love?

00:29:04Somebody booked the room for him.

00:29:06Oh, more than a fortnight ago.

00:29:08Came in and paid cash.

00:29:09I don't have any sort of an address.

00:29:11He pre-booked Mr. Malloy's room.

00:29:15Can you describe him?

00:29:16The dead man?

00:29:18Well, he was about six foot.

00:29:20He had short mums.

00:29:21We know what he looks like.

00:29:23He means the man who paid cash.

00:29:27I'll try.

00:29:32We'll take it from here, Mrs. Pomeroy.

00:29:35We'll have a chat later, love.

00:29:37What do you think about that man?

00:29:41Well, he was hardly here for a fortnight of fun and frivolity in Denton.

00:29:46Hardly enough for an overnight stay.

00:29:48Well, he came to meet somebody.

00:29:50Yeah.

00:29:51It'd be nice to know who, wouldn't it?

00:29:53Yeah.

00:29:55Tell you what, I don't remember the body wearing an overcoat, do you?

00:29:59No.

00:30:00Oh.

00:30:02Let's check with the police divers.

00:30:03Also the mortuary.

00:30:05Right.

00:30:30It was a young man who paid the cash.

00:30:36I can't remember what he looked like.

00:30:39Fairly scruffy.

00:30:40Did Mr. Malloy meet him?

00:30:42I've no idea.

00:30:44He booked in, and then he went outside when the car came to pick him up.

00:30:49Oh.

00:30:51What car would that be, love?

00:30:53A blue one.

00:30:54No.

00:30:55I don't suppose by any chance you recognise the number plate.

00:30:59No.

00:31:00Oh.

00:31:01Notice the driver.

00:31:03The car had tinted windows.

00:31:05Right.

00:31:07Well, we'd like you to come down to the station and have someone help you make up a likeness

00:31:11of the man who paid the bill.

00:31:13Is that OK?

00:31:14Does that mean I'm helping the police with their enquiries?

00:31:19Well, the way things are going today, Mrs. Pomeroy, we need all the help we can get.

00:31:24Now, are you sure there's nothing else that you can remember?

00:31:30Nothing at all?

00:31:32All right, well, thanks very much.

00:31:35There was another case.

00:31:36He had it when he got into the car.

00:31:41What, a suitcase?

00:31:41No.

00:31:43A black case.

00:31:45A briefcase?

00:31:47No.

00:31:48Longer.

00:31:49Much longer.

00:31:51Flat.

00:31:52Like you see in the films when the baddie gets out his gun and puts it together when

00:31:57he's going to assassinate the president.

00:32:00That sort of case.

00:32:01Rita, what's going on?

00:32:13You're out of my flat and my life's what's going on.

00:32:16I don't know what you're on about.

00:32:17Oh, yeah?

00:32:17Look in your bag under your dirty clothes.

00:32:20There's even dirtier photographs of your Mrs. Harris.

00:32:23Sleeping with the lady of the house is one thing.

00:32:25What were the pictures for a reference?

00:32:27And you come and crawl back into my bed afterwards?

00:32:30I don't think so.

00:32:31Ah, Lonegan.

00:32:45Thank you very much.

00:32:46Ah, just in the nick of time.

00:32:48Good girl.

00:32:49All right.

00:32:50Denny's ice cream.

00:32:52Still doing a roaring trade?

00:32:54Any joy there?

00:32:56We've had a couple of observation guys on his round.

00:33:00Fabriani's opposition is selling more ice cream.

00:33:02Big deal.

00:33:03The vandalism on his van could be anyone.

00:33:06Hmm.

00:33:06Very jealousy, then.

00:33:08Fabriani has to blame somebody.

00:33:09It may as well be the opposition.

00:33:11All right.

00:33:11Well, keep at it.

00:33:12Governor, Mr. Mullet's on inspection tour.

00:33:19Yeah, well, of course, he never starts here, does he?

00:33:20He always starts with traffic.

00:33:22And then he goes on to community involvement.

00:33:25Right, George.

00:33:25Let Lonegan bear witness to Mrs. Pomeroy's description of the character who paid for the dead man's room.

00:33:36This could be anyone.

00:33:37Oh, exactly.

00:33:39Dead man's name is Malloy.

00:33:40R. Malloy.

00:33:42Well, according to the poor superintendent, there's no way he could have drowned in the public baths.

00:33:47The people who have swimming pools check out, and no one recognize the ephod of the dead man.

00:33:52So far, Jack, he's a mystery.

00:33:55Oh, well.

00:33:56There you are.

00:33:57Well, he must have come from somewhere.

00:33:58Yeah.

00:34:07Nothing better to do, Inspector, than sit with your feet on the desk slurping tea.

00:34:15Yeah, I've just got in, sir.

00:34:18I was following some leads about the dead man up at the reservoir.

00:34:23The incident log on?

00:34:25What?

00:34:26The incident log!

00:34:28Incident, yes, of course, sir.

00:34:31Incident is, um, the incident incident log.

00:34:34Send it through when you're ready, will you?

00:34:35Mm-hmm.

00:34:37Well, there's one good thing.

00:34:58Lightning never strikes twice.

00:34:59No, no, no, no, no, no.

00:37:05No!

00:37:07No!

00:37:09No!

00:37:11No!

00:37:13No!

00:37:15No!

00:37:17No!

00:37:19No!

00:37:23No!

00:37:25No!

00:37:27No!

00:37:29No!

00:37:31No!

00:37:33No!

00:37:41No!

00:37:43No!

00:37:45No!

00:37:47No!

00:37:48No!

00:37:49No!

00:37:51No!

00:37:53No!

00:37:55No!

00:37:57No!

00:37:59No!

00:38:01No!

00:38:03No!

00:38:07No!

00:38:09No!

00:38:11No!

00:38:13No!

00:38:15No!

00:38:17No!

00:38:19No!

00:38:20No!

00:38:21No!

00:38:23No!

00:38:25No!

00:38:26No!

00:38:27No!

00:38:29No!

00:38:31No!

00:38:33No!

00:38:35No!

00:38:37No!

00:38:39No!

00:38:41No!

00:38:42No!

00:38:43No!

00:38:45No!

00:38:47No!

00:38:49No!

00:38:51No!

00:38:53No!

00:38:54No!

00:38:55No!

00:38:56No!

00:38:57No!

00:38:58No!

00:38:59No!

00:39:00No!

00:39:01No!

00:39:02No!

00:39:03No!

00:39:09Any next of kin?

00:39:10You're checking that.

00:39:13Oh, look, George, this sort of garden looks as though it's recently been worked.

00:39:18He was in a wheelchair.

00:39:19Maybe they had a gardener.

00:39:23Check that out.

00:39:23See if there was one.

00:39:25If there was, have a look at the soles of his shoes.

00:39:28Right.

00:39:29Oh, look out.

00:39:29He's here.

00:39:30Turb, we're here.

00:39:34This is appalling.

00:39:37Yeah, I know.

00:39:38It's a double murder.

00:39:39So they were both tied, bludgeoned and burned.

00:39:43Oh, my God.

00:39:45Didn't some burglary gone wrong?

00:39:47Well, the killer took whatever money came to hand, sir.

00:39:50Could result in some very nasty publicity, especially with HMI.

00:39:54Well, maybe Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary could talk to the relatives.

00:39:59Maybe he knows how to keep their sensibilities intact.

00:40:02All right, Jack.

00:40:03I do understand.

00:40:04Well, do you, sir?

00:40:05Do you really?

00:40:06I mean, a few more coppers and a lot less paperwork wouldn't hurt.

00:40:10And perhaps a real understanding of effective policing in the community hasn't quite reached

00:40:16those suits up there in the Home Office.

00:40:18Well, perhaps it hasn't, Jack.

00:40:19But between the politicians and the media, well, we do the best we can.

00:40:26I'm sorry.

00:40:28Sometimes it feels that we're just not doing enough.

00:40:32Especially when I know that whoever did this is somewhere on my patch.

00:40:36Have you been nicking wash rags, have you?

00:40:44Yeah.

00:40:45Good profit to be out doing that.

00:40:47So you're down in the pub later, yeah?

00:40:48Yeah.

00:40:48Cheers.

00:40:49What happened?

00:41:10There you are, sir.

00:41:28Yes, here I am, Lonergan.

00:41:30No respecter of male privacy, I see.

00:41:33Sir, Uniform found a burnt-out car on Wasteland last night.

00:41:37It's a shell, but there's some blistered paint.

00:41:39It's blue.

00:41:39And the splintered glass was tinted.

00:41:42Well, coincidences.

00:41:45We leave to the laws of mathematicians.

00:41:48Gifts from horses' mouths we take quite happily.

00:41:50My desk, second drawer.

00:41:52Sir, there's something else.

00:41:53They found the old man when they responded to the fire.

00:42:00He's still unconscious and intensive care.

00:42:02The dog won't let anyone near him.

00:42:04RSPCA were going to take him away, but they haven't found the right kit or something.

00:42:09Well, you wait here.

00:42:12All right.

00:42:24Good boy.

00:42:27Come on, dog.

00:42:28You know me.

00:42:29Good dog.

00:42:32Here's a good boy.

00:42:34That's it.

00:42:37There's a good boy.

00:42:39There's a good boy, yes.

00:42:42Let's do this for you.

00:43:12Good girl.

00:43:18Good girl.

00:43:19Come on.

00:43:20Come on.

00:43:21Come on.

00:43:22Good girl.

00:43:22Well?

00:43:41Transferred to the dog unit, Jack?

00:43:43I'll have you know that I'm dog-minding for the poor sod

00:43:47who was worked over when this thing was torched.

00:43:51All right, anything?

00:43:52Yes, Brian?

00:43:53Yeah.

00:43:56Petrol in a glass bottle.

00:43:57A basic Molotov cocktail.

00:43:59That's fine, Chris.

00:44:00But there was enough rubber left for us to start matching the tread patterns

00:44:04found outside the Harris' place.

00:44:05All right. Got a result yet?

00:44:07Later. Something else, though.

00:44:08No.

00:44:13We found this in the boot.

00:44:17The assassin's case.

00:44:20How's that go?

00:44:26What's this?

00:44:28Oh, it's a bassoon.

00:44:31Well, this case is easy to solve, then, isn't it?

00:44:35We just phone up Denton Symphony Orchestra

00:44:37and find out if they've got a bassoon player missing.

00:44:40I'd be lucky if Denton had a paper and comb ensemble.

00:44:43There's a small nameplate on the back here

00:44:45with the name R. Malloy.

00:44:47That's him.

00:44:48That's my dead man.

00:44:49Why would a bassoon player come to Denton,

00:44:52look into a prepaid room

00:44:53and end up dead at the bottom of the reservoir?

00:44:57Well, I don't know.

00:44:58Maybe he was here to play Handel's water music.

00:45:00I thought you'd take the ride.

00:45:06Since when have you disliked money so much?

00:45:08Mr. Monkton, that horse isn't fit.

00:45:10Let's say she's fit.

00:45:11I say she's fit.

00:45:12Even the stable, that says she's fit.

00:45:14I wouldn't get the best out of her, Mr. Monkton.

00:45:16Nice you like.

00:45:17All right, Stevie.

00:45:31Nothing like some nice hot manure to keep your hands warm.

00:45:34You should leave her alone.

00:45:36Oh, yeah?

00:45:37Who's that, then?

00:45:38You know who I mean.

00:45:40The boss's daughter.

00:45:42Fancier chances, do you?

00:45:44Her and a muck spreader.

00:45:46I don't think so, sunshine.

00:45:48Look, I'm warning you, Matthews.

00:45:50Oh, dear.

00:45:51Better run away, then.

00:45:54Tell you what, Stevie.

00:45:56You watch your lip talking to me like that.

00:45:58Otherwise, you'd be doing more than shoveling that stuff.

00:46:01You'll be up to your neck in it.

00:46:02Sir, we've got a premeditated murder with no apparent motive.

00:46:31And with no description of the possible murderer, except a so-so ephod.

00:46:38So the killer draws in our amuser, Mr. R. Malloy.

00:46:44He tops him, dumps his body, dumps his car,

00:46:48which is observed by poor old Walter.

00:46:51So he works Walter over.

00:46:54I'll get on to the musicians' union.

00:46:56They might have Malloy listed.

00:46:57Well, well, if we can track him down,

00:46:59we might make some sense of all this.

00:47:09Oh, interesting.

00:47:12Pull over there a minute, will you?

00:47:14Time for a bit of refreshment, I think.

00:47:32Come on, Joanne.

00:47:41Well, hi.

00:47:43Hello.

00:47:43I'll have what everyone else is having.

00:47:49No, no, no, no, no.

00:47:51One of these will do.

00:47:53Yeah.

00:47:55Do you know what we used to do when we were kids?

00:47:57That probably seemed like the dark ages to you.

00:48:00We always used to break off the bottom of the cone.

00:48:03See?

00:48:04So that you could make another ice cream cone like that.

00:48:09But you see, your kids don't do that.

00:48:12Some of them even throw the ice cream away.

00:48:15But not the cone.

00:48:17Not this bit.

00:48:20I wonder why.

00:48:26Well, that's ecstasy, sir.

00:48:28Yeah, well, it certainly ain't hundreds and thousands, is it?

00:48:30Oi, go on.

00:48:31Oi.

00:48:34Now, now, don't be stupid.

00:48:46Got him.

00:48:48His dad's away on holiday, Mr Frost.

00:48:53He's been filling in for him.

00:48:55His old man will skin him for this.

00:48:57No.

00:48:58Only after I've finished with him.

00:49:00All right, Lonegan.

00:49:02William is right.

00:49:04You take care of him.

00:49:05I know you love the book work.

00:49:08Thanks, Mr Frost.

00:49:10Anytime I can do you any favours, you just ask.

00:49:13How about a real ice cream?

00:49:14I'll do a lovely mochaccino surprise.

00:49:17No, thank you.

00:49:18I've had enough of ice cream and surprises for one day.

00:49:22Anyway, I've got a nice pork pie with my name on it in the canteen.

00:49:25Jack, what in God's name are you doing?

00:49:36Oh, I was assaulted by an ice cream cone.

00:49:39This!

00:49:40The dog!

00:49:41Are you mad with HMI here?

00:49:44Old man Walter got beaten up last night.

00:49:47This is his dog.

00:49:48Well, I'm very sorry.

00:49:49You can't keep it here.

00:49:50What am I supposed to do with that?

00:49:53Get it to the RSPCA!

00:49:55Look, Jack.

00:49:56HMI is looking for any excuse to mark your card.

00:50:00So just keep it out of the way.

00:50:02A nice cream cone, hmm?

00:50:11Here.

00:50:13Old man Fabriani's competitor took an extended holiday,

00:50:17so his son took over the run

00:50:19and came up with a line that the kids couldn't resist.

00:50:23Ecstasy.

00:50:25So we nicked him.

00:50:27Excellent.

00:50:30I shall expect a report.

00:50:31Now, let's crack on with these murders, shall we?

00:50:36And, er, get that scruffy creature out of here.

00:50:41That's all.

00:50:48Ah.

00:50:52Ah.

00:50:53I'm not so sure canteen grubs good for a dog, Jack.

00:50:57It's not that wonderful for humans,

00:50:59but, er, doesn't seem to bother him, does it?

00:51:03How's Walter?

00:51:04Oh, still unconscious.

00:51:06It's not much point going around the hospital yet.

00:51:09You know, they say owners look like their dogs.

00:51:12I can see a certain resemblance there.

00:51:15A bit of a mournful look.

00:51:17Whiskers.

00:51:18Getting a bit grey?

00:51:20No, Walter doesn't look...

00:51:22Yeah, so all right.

00:51:24Thank you very much.

00:51:25That's enough of that.

00:51:27If I look mournful,

00:51:28it's because I've got every reason to be.

00:51:31Well, that should cheer you up.

00:51:32Came through about half an hour ago.

00:51:34Oh, sir.

00:51:34Those unidentified tyre tracks from Harris's cottage.

00:51:38One matched Harris Senior's Jack.

00:51:41Mm-hmm.

00:51:41The other matched the burned-out car.

00:51:44So, the killer dumps the bassoon player upstream.

00:51:55The next day, he does in the Harris's.

00:51:58And then Walter catches sight of him

00:52:00as he tries to dump the car.

00:52:03We've got a triple murderer on our hands.

00:52:06Yeah, gets better.

00:52:07Yeah?

00:52:08A trading car.

00:52:10A dark blue Scorpio hatchback.

00:52:12It was reported stolen just over four weeks ago

00:52:14from a local dealer.

00:52:16One, Arnold Harris.

00:52:20The dead man's father.

00:52:22Blimey, George,

00:52:23this is better than a full house on a bingo card.

00:52:26Right, OK.

00:52:28Come on, first thing in the morning.

00:52:30Right.

00:52:31Ah, good dog.

00:52:32All finished.

00:52:33There you go.

00:52:35Right, come on.

00:52:36Let's go on.

00:52:37He's going to do very nicely around here, isn't he?

00:52:43Hmm.

00:53:03All right, all right.

00:53:05They're already here.

00:53:07All right, let's go on.

00:53:15Shh, quiet.

00:53:20What is it?

00:53:21What do you want?

00:53:25Do you want to come in?

00:53:29All right.

00:53:32Just shh, quiet.

00:53:33Go to sleep.

00:53:34Be a good boy.

00:53:34Shh.

00:53:36Shh.

00:53:48If you don't want to come in,

00:53:50what do you want?

00:53:59All right.

00:54:00All right.

00:54:00Now, will you be quiet?

00:54:06All right.

00:54:08OK.

00:54:10OK.

00:54:12All right.

00:54:16Come on.

00:54:17Tuck down.

00:54:17Come on.

00:54:18Come on.

00:54:20Oh, my God.

00:54:40Oh, my God.

00:54:40Everything all right, sir?

00:54:44Everything all right, sir?

00:54:46It's you, is it, Lomaghan?

00:54:49What are you doing here?

00:54:50And where's my tea?

00:54:52You what, sir?

00:54:53Come on, Miller.

00:54:55What do you want?

00:54:56It's the old man, Walter.

00:54:57He's regained consciousness.

00:54:59All right.

00:55:00Good.

00:55:01Well, why didn't you say?

00:55:02Uh, well, there you go.

00:55:07So you can't describe the man who attacked you?

00:55:11No, Mr. Frost.

00:55:14He was young, though.

00:55:16Strong.

00:55:18The flames of the car were behind him.

00:55:20He wore a car.

00:55:26One of the old, sir, American things.

00:55:31I'm sorry.

00:55:35What about dog?

00:55:37It's all right.

00:55:38He's fine.

00:55:39I'm looking after him.

00:55:42You just concentrate and getting yourself better, all right?

00:55:46Thank you, Mr. Frost.

00:55:47He's no bother.

00:55:52But he gets lonely.

00:55:55Can't sleep on his own.

00:55:57Don't I know it?

00:56:02Actually, you might be able to help me with that one.

00:56:12Ah, Lomaghan.

00:56:13All right, I'll be with you in a minute.

00:56:14All right, good boy, good boy.

00:56:19There you are.

00:56:21There's your daddy's clothes.

00:56:23Now then, do I get my own bed back?

00:56:29No, sir!

00:56:30I'll take that as a yes, then, shall I?

00:56:33All right, good boy.

00:56:33I've had a call from the engineer at the water treatment plant.

00:56:38He's got some information.

00:56:40All right, you get yourself off up there.

00:56:42I've got a date with George Toulon.

00:56:44Well, he's been with her for several years.

00:56:59His son was all he had.

00:57:00The man's devastated by the killings, Jack.

00:57:06Doctor's been with him pretty much since Uniform told him.

00:57:10He's in a mess.

00:57:12And according to what the doctor says, he's not acting.

00:57:15Yeah, well, I've seen Oscar-winning performances before now.

00:57:21George, you keep him on the suspect list.

00:57:23He was there.

00:57:29Stolen car?

00:57:30The blue Scorpio.

00:57:31Oh, yes.

00:57:35Somebody broke into my office and stole the keys.

00:57:40I wonder why they didn't steal a jag.

00:57:42Well, obviously, it was less noticeable.

00:57:47Were there any suspicious characters around at the time?

00:57:50Any disgruntled employees?

00:57:52No.

00:57:54Anybody not pitch up for work when the car went missing?

00:57:56No, nobody.

00:57:58I see.

00:57:58So you visited your son on the day he and his wife died?

00:58:06Yes.

00:58:08And, um, I'm sorry to say we...

00:58:10we argued.

00:58:13What did you argue about?

00:58:16Well, there's no point in dragging that up now, is there?

00:58:19Well, on the contrary, I think there's every point.

00:58:22I mean, there's a murderer on the loose.

00:58:25I know this may be painful,

00:58:26but we're trying to find out if there was anyone in particular

00:58:28that wanted to hurt them.

00:58:30I don't see who.

00:58:33Do you or did your son know anyone by the name R. Malloy?

00:58:38No, I never heard that name.

00:58:41What did your son do for a living, money-wise?

00:58:44Well, he had a disability pension,

00:58:48and I gave him some money to keep him going.

00:58:51Not much.

00:58:54He was as independent as he could be.

00:58:58Hated handouts.

00:59:00And his wife?

00:59:02Oh.

00:59:03Some...

00:59:04Some occasional work on a cash-in-hand basis.

00:59:08She was supposed to look after him.

00:59:13And did she?

00:59:17Well, she and I never got on.

00:59:20She required more...

00:59:22physical affection than my son was able to give.

00:59:26She had a boyfriend.

00:59:30Yeah.

00:59:31I don't know who.

00:59:33Was there a gardener?

00:59:36Yes.

00:59:38Yes, he's Mike...

00:59:40somebody.

00:59:41He's, um...

00:59:41He was a good lad.

00:59:43Local, I think.

00:59:45He called me when...

00:59:46Paul fell from his wheelchair.

00:59:49That's...

00:59:49That's why I went out there.

00:59:51Mr. Harris, I'm sorry.

00:59:53I've got to ask you this.

00:59:56Where were you on the night that they died?

01:00:00I was at my office.

01:00:03I had a late sales night.

01:00:08That's it.

01:00:21You don't even seem bothered by what's happened.

01:00:24She was such a beautiful horse.

01:00:27Why did you have her put down?

01:00:29The vet said she had to be destroyed.

01:00:31She was badly injured.

01:00:33She kicked a hole through the wall of her stall.

01:00:35Her leg was shattered.

01:00:36If it can't make money, get rid of it.

01:00:38That's all you think about.

01:00:40Melanie, I'm sorry.

01:00:42I know how much she meant to you.

01:00:44She couldn't be saved.

01:00:46You think I wanted to see her destroyed?

01:00:48Look, um...

01:00:52I have to go over the new security arrangements.

01:00:55We can't risk another burglary.

01:00:57Especially if it ends like this,

01:00:59with a horse being injured.

01:01:01It late in closing the stable door, Danny!

01:01:03The horse is already dead!

01:01:04You could have told me what happened, Stevie.

01:01:19I didn't want to hear it from my father.

01:01:23I loved that horse.

01:01:25Couldn't be helped, Melanie.

01:01:27Whoever got into the yard must have scared her.

01:01:30They might even have been trying to knobble her.

01:01:31Look, she'd have been in a lot of pain.

01:01:35They said the vet finished her off quickly.

01:01:36I don't need to hear that, thank you.

01:01:38Sorry, um...

01:01:41Look, um...

01:01:47Why don't we go out for a drink at lunch?

01:01:49Nip down the white heart.

01:01:50You can pop yourself up a bit, maybe.

01:01:53For God's sake, not now, Stevie.

01:01:55Not now.

01:01:56Is Melanie OK?

01:02:14Yes.

01:02:15She's upset about the horse.

01:02:17Of course she is.

01:02:18She loved that horse.

01:02:19I suppose you were your usual considerate self.

01:02:22Where were you when she needed some motherly care?

01:02:26As far away from you as possible.

01:02:29We found it snagged on one of the lower sluice grills,

01:02:32but in the circumstances, it might not be anything important.

01:02:36I do hope you're not wasting your time.

01:02:37Oh, you did the right thing by calling me.

01:02:52Come on, Nick.

01:02:57All right.

01:03:16Can't have one of these when you've got a dog, anyway.

01:03:19Closest I'll get to one I know.

01:03:22Closest I'll get to one of these when you've got a dog.

01:03:25Don't take help.

01:03:27Well, Harris's story checks.

01:03:29I've spoken to everyone inside.

01:03:30He was here.

01:03:32But where have I seen him before?

01:03:36Doesn't ring any bells with me, Jack.

01:03:38No, me neither.

01:03:39Well, not yet, anyway.

01:03:40All right.

01:03:41Get the team eagle-eyed for this Gardner character.

01:03:45If you ask me, he's our man.

01:03:46Well, best chance we've got.

01:03:52Well, even though you're along,

01:03:57Well, even though you're a long way from the Reservoir Wall, which is here,

01:04:25I still maintain the dead body started its journey earlier.

01:04:30I don't see how.

01:04:32Well, look, these tanks here, these sort of tanks, are connected to this main pipe by this pipe,

01:04:37and this one runs all the way down here and comes out the other side of the reservoir wall where the canoeists were.

01:04:44Yes, they're released every week, have been for years.

01:04:47The spillage isn't wasted because it flows down from there into the lower reservoir, but that pipe's over a mile long.

01:04:54Yes, I know, but it doesn't come out here, does it?

01:04:57You know, at the back end of the reservoir, where the body would have to float through millions of gallons of water

01:05:02before it arrived at the other side of the reservoir wall?

01:05:05No, it's a fairly complicated system.

01:05:07All right, can we keep it simple?

01:05:10Does the water come from here down this pipe to the other side of the reservoir wall?

01:05:15Yes.

01:05:16Yes.

01:05:17Yes.

01:05:19Now can we have the guided tour, please?

01:05:26All right, so what's this place?

01:05:29It's a part of the filtration system.

01:05:31I see.

01:05:32What's all this white stuff?

01:05:34Lime.

01:05:35It's used in the filters.

01:05:36They found lime on that footprint at the cottage.

01:05:39Yeah, they're right.

01:05:40All right, come on.

01:05:41What's next?

01:05:46These are some of the filtration stages.

01:05:49I see.

01:05:50Where does this water go?

01:05:52Well, eventually that'd feed into the reservoir.

01:05:55Look, inspector, who's going to dump a body up here when they can just drop them over the edge at the reservoir?

01:06:01I don't know who, but all I know is that he wasn't dropped over the side of the reservoir.

01:06:08If he was, how did his overcoat get this side of your sluice gate?

01:06:12Well, it'd have to start off somewhere here, couldn't it?

01:06:17No, no, what's that?

01:06:18It's me.

01:06:19Oh, right.

01:06:20Excuse me.

01:06:21Hello?

01:06:22Jack, no one's going to manage to drag a body up here.

01:06:24This is where he must have died.

01:06:26You're right.

01:06:27He was alive when he was up here.

01:06:28It was down there that he died.

01:06:30I reckon that our killer forced him into one of these tanks, right?

01:06:40There he was, struggling to keep alive, and he swallows some water, which would account for...

01:06:47The chemicals found in his body.

01:06:49Exactly.

01:06:50Now he's floundering.

01:06:52The weight of his coat is dragging him down.

01:06:55He undoes his overcoat, gets rid of it.

01:06:58But, he can't get out of the tank.

01:07:04Sorry, Inspector.

01:07:05I've got to go and run some tests.

01:07:07Ah.

01:07:08Well, you seem to do an awful lot round here, don't you?

01:07:10Not really.

01:07:11General stuff.

01:07:12It's all automated now.

01:07:14There's only over two engineers on shift.

01:07:16Only two?

01:07:17I bet you could go the whole shift without seeing anybody at all, couldn't you?

01:07:22Especially at night.

01:07:23Yes.

01:07:24Excuse me.

01:07:25Yeah, okay.

01:07:26We'll see you later.

01:07:27Yes!

01:07:28Come here!

01:07:29There's a cellar of some sort.

01:07:30Long out of use by the look of it.

01:07:32What is this place here?

01:07:33It's an old control room, built in the 60s.

01:07:34Open up, let's have a look.

01:07:35Right, sir.

01:07:36It was a nuclear bunker.

01:07:37They thought if they got nuked, the engineers could keep the water supply going.

01:07:38If anyone got nuked, I would imagine the water would have been boiled enough to make one cup of tea, and that would have been about the end of it.

01:07:43After you.

01:08:13All right.

01:08:14All right, George?

01:08:15Yeah.

01:08:16What's all this?

01:08:17Well, this is where he's been living, you know?

01:08:31Long enough to find out where everything was, how everything worked, where all the keys were to give him access to what he needed.

01:08:40All right, George. Seal the place off. Get forensic down here.

01:08:47Three murders so far, Jack. What's the connection?

01:08:50I don't know. I hope there isn't any more.

01:08:53I still can't get hold of Melanie. She's not answering her cell phone.

01:09:10Oh, she's sulking somewhere.

01:09:13I'm on the phone.

01:09:14I'm not forgetting someone.

01:09:15I'm on the phone.

01:09:16I'm not forgetting someone.

01:09:20Have you got a time of death, Forrest?

01:09:49Between ten and midnight. They were very badly charred. The heat caused fifth and sixth degree burns. Subcutaneous tissues gone.

01:10:01Dr McKenzie suggested that they were bludgeoned before they died.

01:10:07Well, he was wrong. They were alive when they were burned.

01:10:11Well, what about the skull fractures?

01:10:13When underlying bone, such as the skull, is exposed to intense heat, it can crack.

01:10:18It's an easy mistake to make. It can look like wounds made in a homicidal attack.

01:10:24There's no mistake about this.

01:10:27Carbon monoxide in the blood, soot in their lungs. Blistering on the body yields a different result if a body was burned before or after death.

01:10:36After death shows no signs of vital reaction. The blisters are hard, yellowish in color.

01:10:42I'd like to meet this bloke on a dark night.

01:10:45Or in broad daylight, come to that. The killer deliberately tied his victims with garden wire, doused them with petrol, and...

01:10:53You're horrendous.

01:10:58I'd say you need help on this one, Inspector.

01:11:04I reckon that he knew his way around. He didn't stumble on them.

01:11:10I think he knew where the living room was, and I think he knew they weren't in their bedroom.

01:11:16Yes. He'd want to watch them, Dad.

01:11:21He probably stayed here until it was all over.

01:11:24He might even have been somewhere watching the emergency services arrive.

01:11:31He'd have enjoyed their helplessness at trying to stop something he'd started.

01:11:37We have a connection between these and another killing. I don't want any more.

01:11:44I need you to help me to understand what it is I'm up against.

01:11:48I'll try.

01:11:50But, Jack, this type of killer doesn't show any remorse.

01:11:54It's only a matter of time before he kills again.

01:12:00I think you've got a psychopath on the loose.
