0:00:07 > 0:00:17This programme contains some violent scenes and scenes which some viewers may find disturbing.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Are we done?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Bar what I suspect will be a lengthy debriefing.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- But tomorrow, yeah?- Tomorrow.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10You all right?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I think he's pushed some bone into my brain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Excellent.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14MUSIC: "Paradise Circus" by Massive Attack
0:05:14 > 0:05:19# Love is like a sin, my love
0:05:21 > 0:05:27# For the ones that feel it the most
0:05:27 > 0:05:33# Look at her with her eyes Like a flame
0:05:35 > 0:05:40# She will love you like a fly Will never love you
0:05:42 > 0:05:44# Again. #
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Victim's Emily Hammond. Edits technical manuals.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Divorced. No kids.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Comes home round 11. No sign of forced entry,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16so it looks like she might have known her killer. Let him in.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Comes home from where?
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Speed-dating.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21What, she's brought him home and...? That doesn't sound right, does it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22No?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Women don't go speed-dating for sex, they go for a relationship.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27But check them all out. Um, ex-husband?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Lives in Bristol.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31- On it?- Being done as we speak.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37There's nothing to suggest she was into S&M.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40No fetish gear in the wardrobe, nothing on her browsing history.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44No, no. Our boy's brought this stuff with him.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46You reckon?
0:06:46 > 0:06:51Mmm, look, it's a very specific look. The wig, the make-up.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It's a bit of a Siouxsie And The Banshees thing going on here.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Who and the what?- '80s. Post-punk.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Oh. Goths.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Post-punk.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Oh, it's definitely not her wig.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Dirty old thing.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05She's not wearing shoes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10You can see the strap marks.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15She was wearing the shoes when she was strangled.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16So where are the shoes?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I've seen something like this before.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Yeah, where?
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Photograph. Something.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So he's what? Re-enacting an old murder?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Maybe he's a fan.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Paying homage.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Back door was point of exit. Front door was deadbolted.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Right, well...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Check that back door again.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Chances are it's probably the way he let himself in.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47DCI Luther?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Do you have a moment?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53How was it?
0:07:53 > 0:07:54Fetish killing.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Whatever he's doing,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00it looks like he's been planning it for a long time.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02So now that he's started...
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Be hard for him to stop, even if he wanted to.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07I, um...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I've been ordered to move you to another case.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14What other case?
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Jared Cass.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Sickness beneficiary, "cyber activist", whatever that might be.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Found dead in his flat this morning.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26This was filmed on Cass's smartphone,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28distributed to his contacts list.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- 'I'm sorry!' - This was how it ended.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37What a day. OK. But why us?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Not us.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- You.- Me?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- Personally? Why? - Murder's murder, John.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49No. Come on, boss. You see, this is a revenge killing.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Meat and potatoes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54The man who killed Emily Hammond is organised, but not sane.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56He's going to kill again, and very soon.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's out of my hands.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00You know this smells funny. Right?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Can you handle both?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I can handle both.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Don't make me regret it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14What's that?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I've got another thing.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18You're kidding. What other thing?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22Animal cruelty. Listen. I need you to brief Benny.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Tell him to go over cold cases.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Anything pertaining to Emily's death.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I'm talking strangulation, burglary, shoe theft...
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Masks and wigs? - Yeah, don't rule out anything.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34You know what? The mask, the wigs...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I think it's part of something else, you know,
0:09:36 > 0:09:37trying to recreate something.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Staging something. It's not part of the fetish.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Right, how far back are we looking?
0:09:42 > 0:09:451979 or something. Oi, meet me at the Jared Cass crime scene
0:09:45 > 0:09:47on Hawksmoor estate.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49MOBILE RINGS
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Hello?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Why? What's it about?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Do I have any choice?
0:10:03 > 0:10:04I'll be there.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Detective Sergeant Ripley.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Detective Chief Inspector Gray.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Just "Ma'am" will do.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46How's life in the Judas Division, Ma'am?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Rooting out dirty coppers? Satisfying.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The way you stitched me up to save your boss, I owe you a favour.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55You've given me a vocation.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57So what am I doing here? Are you going to waterboard me?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Get in.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03DS Ripley?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05George Stark.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07Out of what division?
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Retired.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13They un-retired me.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16For a special project.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Come with me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Oh, come on, you've got to be kidding me.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Have a seat.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Zoe Luther, dead.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Ian Reed, dead.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Henry Madsen, dead.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Toby Kent, dead.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57Alice Morgan. Missing, presumed... Well, who knows?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59Common denominator?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05So?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09There was a Park Ranger.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13In America, that is.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17He was struck seven times by lightning. Seven times!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Actually made the Guinness Book Of Records
0:13:20 > 0:13:22for being the unluckiest guy in the world.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Or maybe the luckiest guy in the world.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Depends on how you look at it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27And?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Do you really think he's innocent, your boss?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33Of this murder?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Of this?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Of this one?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Think he's just some kind of lighting rod?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Someone who just gets struck again
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and again, and again, and again?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Carpet underlay, from one of the holes
0:13:55 > 0:13:57that your boss used to live in.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01It's got this man's blood on it. Toby Kent.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Never heard of him.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Our witness says that Luther killed him.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Put a knife through the back of the skull.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15That place was disgusting. You could find anything on that carpet.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Are you homosexual?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Like that's any of your business.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28It is my business if your romantic yearnings are clouding
0:14:28 > 0:14:31your judgment as a police officer.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32If you're trying to touch a nerve,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34then you're touching me in the wrong place.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Then you're either a donkey, or you're an accomplice.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And I don't think you're a donkey.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I won't answer any more questions without my union rep.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Well, then, your career ends here.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Because you'll be charged as an accessory after the fact.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01What fact? If you had any proof of wrongdoings, then you'd show it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- What, I'd show you my hand?- Yeah.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Yeah, right, fine.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12You think I don't know a liar when I see one, son?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15You're lying to me. Now, talk to me!
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Tell me!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's not very nice, is it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Somebody who's supposed to be representing the law,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38and yet operates in his own sense of justice?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Just read it.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Benny, what you got?- Do you remember the Shoreditch Creeper?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Er, yeah. Dim, distant memory. Go on.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57OK, '78 to '81. He assaults eight women in an escalating pattern.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Breaks in, ties them up.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Masturbates while sucking their toes. Then steals their shoes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Graduates to killing three times.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09Theresa Johnson in '81, and Vivian Leavie. Plus Cheryl Moody, in '82.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Then he just stops. Drops off the grid.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Not of his own accord, he doesn't. Not if he's escalating like that.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- How old is he?- Mid-thirties when the offending began.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21What, puts him in his...seventies now?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Doesn't sound right, does it? Benny, do me a favour.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Sign off on the cold cases, and have them sent to me.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Right. On their way...
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Sir?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Come on. Come on.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Are you all right?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Think so. Er, yeah.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49- Oh, whoa, whoa.- Sorry.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You need to sit down. Just for a second.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- You just need to sit down there. All right?- Yeah.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Oh, your poor car.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02No, don't worry about that. It always looks like that.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Is it, like, a classic?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Yeah, probably.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Do you mind if I just take a look?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Er, just look left.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Right.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Up. Down.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Any dizziness? Did you bang your head, did you?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17No, no. Are you a doctor?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20No, I'm a copper. DCI Luther.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Luther? That's a good name.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24I can't take the credit for it.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's an unusual name.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Not in MY house.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Look, don't worry about any of this.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Um, it really was my fault.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35I'm not totally sure it was. I was...
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Honestly. It was my fault.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39So I'm going to get your information for the insurance.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Cos I've got to... - Be somewhere. Of course.- Yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Rushing to the scene of the crime?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I am, actually.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Right. Sorry. Um...
0:17:48 > 0:17:49I haven't got my um, thingy...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52It's all right. I'll just write my... My name's John.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54All right.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57So I'll call you.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Go!- All right.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00I'm fine.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14If you had any real evidence, you'd be talking to John, not me.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17If you really believe he's so spotless, then prevent an injustice.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Help him. Prove it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23And how do you suggest I do that?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26DCI Luther will be taking on a case
0:18:26 > 0:18:30of a waste of semen called Jared Cass.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Squalid little business.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Small cheese for big, bad John.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37It was you?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39You had him assigned to the Jared Cass murder?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I want to know exactly how he handles that investigation.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49And I mean every move by move, breath by breath.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53If he breaks the law, I want his head on a stick.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57He doesn't know it,
0:18:57 > 0:19:02but his good fortune ran out the day that I heard his name.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16'Stand clear of the doors.'
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Sir.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28All yours.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05You'll read anything, you.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Wotcher.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- What's it say?- Gang tags mainly. Territorial pissing.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16The killer's signed the body? That's handy.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Nah. Post-mortem, apparently.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22They've walked in here...
0:20:23 > 0:20:24..nicked the stuff,
0:20:24 > 0:20:28tagged the walls. Tagged him. Spat on him. Pissed on him.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Still. I suppose it's what he would've have wanted.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34You know, we're under the cosh to clear this up quickly.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Yeah, but we're going to do it right, though, yeah?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43What is wrong with everyone today? Of course we're going to do it right.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46We're just going to do it quickly, that's all.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48So where do we start?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well, enemies.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Apparently he had quite a few.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Guess he liked to sit in a room, and slag people off on the internet.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Aye. He was a troll?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01See, here's what I don't understand...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05..is why did they loot the place?
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Because it's here?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Yeah, but you loot somewhere and it's got stuff worth looting, don't you?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Iraqi National Museum. JD Sports.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Yeah, but not Jared Cass. He was on sickness benefit.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Never left the place.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23So what did he have that was so expensive?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Where'd you get the money, Jared?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55'OK, John, listen.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58'The Shoreditch Creeper case was a massive investigation.'
0:22:58 > 0:23:01It's not so much police work as archaeology.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- 'Who was senior?' - Er, DCI Ronnie Holland.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Good copper, Ronnie. Long since had his clock.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10'Let's find DCI Holland, see what he remembers.'
0:23:10 > 0:23:12In a case like this, he must've known who he liked for it,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14even if he couldn't prove it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16So let's find out who, yeah?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Yup. I'm going straight there now.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23There's a Sean Beamish at 67.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25And that gentleman thinks he might go by the name of "Beanie".
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Sean Beamish.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Sean "Beanie" Beamish? It's the police. Open up.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40What?
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Jared Cass.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44What about him?
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well, he's dead, isn't he?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48What, still? Lazy sod, ain't he?
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Well, it took us all of two minutes to find out he borrowed
0:23:53 > 0:23:56money from you, to buy all that stuff he really couldn't afford.
0:23:56 > 0:23:5960-inch LCD, Blu-ray library, laptop.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I mean, what's a loan shark supposed to do?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Can't pay his bill so you threatened him
0:24:03 > 0:24:05and you threatened him again and then...
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Oops. He's dead.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Funny, that.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Oi! Oi, oi, oi! Come here!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- John, wh...- Argh, help! Help!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Boss! Boss.- Shush! You're making me very nervous.- Boss. Stop!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Not now, Mr Ripley, I don't want to drop him.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Erin! Whatever's happening, I want eyes on it. Now.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- On my way.- Let me up!
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I've got a very nasty man doing very nasty things to people.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36And I want to get off this grubby case as fast as I can.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Please! Let me up!- Boss! Boss!
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Come on! Let me up!- Can you see him?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Do you want to help me or what? - Yeah! Please!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Can you see him?- Go on.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50Oh, dear.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Nothing.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58How many convictions have you had?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I don't...I don't know. A few.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Bit of this, bit of that.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Ever been done on a murder charge?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- No!- No? Why not?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Because I never killed no-one.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Except for Jared Cass.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Except no, I didn't do him, so you got no evidence.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Evidence!
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Come on, a man of your experience, you're talking about evidence!
0:25:18 > 0:25:19This is how it actually works.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22A murder investigation has three pillars,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24'means, motive, opportunity. I've got means and motive down.'
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Yeah, but you haven't got the other one.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Oh, oh, opportunity? Yeah, well, that's seasoning.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32And when it comes to seasoning, I'm like Jamie Oliver.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36I just rummage around the cupboards and see what I can find.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Are you saying you'd fit me up?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Come on, you dirty bastard. Say it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45What is this? Nazi Russia?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Oh, yeah, yeah. It's Nazi Russia.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Stand up!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54You put yourself at the crime scene, didn't you?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You made yourself prime suspect number one,
0:25:56 > 0:25:58so I don't need to fit you up, do I?
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Bollocks.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01'I heard he was dead, all right?'
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Everyone did.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So I went to get back what he owed me while I had the chance.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06He was dead when I got there.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09He was a funny colour and everything. I totally swear.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Completely and totally. On my sack, blood.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13I'm not your blood.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16So who did it, then?
0:26:17 > 0:26:18Anyone, really. Throw a brick.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Is that supposed to help me?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Because it really don't help me.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Look. The bloke never went out. All he did was sit in that flat.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31He slagged off loads of people online.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Any one of them would have killed him.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35We want his laptop. And his phone.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Just give me the laptop. How it got there, I don't really care.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43My lock-up. Downstairs.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45You shouldn't joke around like that, you know.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Like what?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50About fitting people up. One day the wrong people could be listening.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Who said I was joking? - Seriously. You shouldn't joke.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55What are you, my dad?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Right. I'll get it to the lab.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- How long's that going to take? - Dunno. Week?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Can't you fast-track it? - That IS fast-track.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Well, YOU do it, then.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Come on! Do you want this cleared up quickly or not?
0:27:10 > 0:27:11All right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11I'm going as fast as I can.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Did I say anything?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14You were thinking it.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15PHONE RINGS Well, I...
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Yeah?
0:28:21 > 0:28:25I've been looking up your name. Do you know what it means?
0:28:25 > 0:28:26Tired and grumpy?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27No.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Erm, well, it's derived from the German, liut, meaning "people",
0:28:32 > 0:28:37and heri, meaning "army". So it means "people's army."
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Oh. OK.
0:28:44 > 0:28:45I felt bad about earlier.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49So you call me and tell me what my name means?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I thought you might like to know.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54OK.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56So...
0:28:58 > 0:28:59It was my fault.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I was retuning the radio.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05And I let you think it was your fault.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07And I feel bad.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10There.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Said it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13No, listen. Honestly. Don't worry about it.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17The AA have got my number on speed dial.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20So, what? You're happy to just take the blame?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Happy's a strong word.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Seriously?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28No, honestly. Don't worry about it. Really.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Well, can I buy you a drink or something? Make it up to you?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Yeah. Sure. Why not?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37OK. When?
0:29:37 > 0:29:38HORN BLOWS
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Listen. I've got to go. Can I call you later?
0:29:41 > 0:29:42OK.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51Motive maybe?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Ken Barnaby?- Yes.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04DCI John Luther. DS Ripley. Can we come in?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Yes.- Thank you.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- It's just downstairs.- Yup.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Her name was Cathy.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23She was in the sixth form. Four A-levels.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27She wanted to go to Oxford.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32She was a very, very clever girl.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Brilliant, really.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Very beautiful. Very kind.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41She'd been managing the epilepsy since she was seven.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45And she never let it frighten her, never let it stop her.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49She was amazing. She was my little girl.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53And then, well...
0:30:59 > 0:31:00I'm very sorry.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Um, I hate to keep dragging this up. But, um...
0:31:13 > 0:31:14Her memorial site.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17It was defaced.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27It started with someone impersonating her online.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Sending messages.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32"Help me, Daddy. It's so hot in hell."
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Pictures of...
0:31:35 > 0:31:36corpses...
0:31:38 > 0:31:40..with her name written on them.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Messages on Father's Day.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Photos of a graveyard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47"Wish you were here."
0:31:49 > 0:31:50And then...
0:31:53 > 0:31:55..he started sending pictures.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Cathy's face...
0:32:01 > 0:32:04..Photoshopped onto obscene images.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07My little girl.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Images where men were...
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Did you know who was doing it?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22No. No.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23We'd complain.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28The site would get taken down, but another would spring up.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30It...it just... It didn't stop.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Er, the taunts, the emails, the pictures.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35Horrible things.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Who could do it to us?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I hadn't been very well and, er...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Well, since Cathy died it was very tough.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50It was very hard for Ken and me.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Could I offer you a glass of water?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- No, thank you, we're fine...- Yes.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09We'd love some water, Ken. Thank you.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36HE CRIES
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I'm sorry to be so...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Don't worry. You've got a job to do.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44I wonder...
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Could I ask you where Ken was, three nights ago?
0:34:55 > 0:34:56You OK, boss?
0:34:57 > 0:34:58No.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02You OK?
0:35:02 > 0:35:03Not really. That was horrible.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Do you like him for it? Barnaby?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10No.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11Boss...
0:35:11 > 0:35:13What? His wife alibied him.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18What, he was home all night and he has some texts to prove it? Come on.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Got any evidence?
0:35:19 > 0:35:21No. But we've got motive.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I don't know what you want me to say.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31What? Look I've got a fetish killer on the loose, all right?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33This is important, but it's not my priority.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Ronnie? Ronnie Holland?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- I think we'd better take the door down.- Sir.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I'll follow you in.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22All right.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37What the hell are you doing? Do you think he's stupid?!
0:36:37 > 0:36:40No. But I think he's already noticed something's not right.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41You're not a very good liar, Justin.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44And that makes you think coming here's a good idea?
0:36:48 > 0:36:49No. But this does.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02If he thinks you're acting weird and sneaking around
0:37:02 > 0:37:05because we're seeing each other, he'll be in his element.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Think he's got one over on you.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14You do know Ken Barnaby killed Jared Cass?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15I know, yeah.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18And so does Luther. But he's going to let Barnaby walk.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21His mind's on this other thing. Emily Hammond. That's all it is.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24So push him. Force him to make a decision.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27If he comes down on the right side, orders Ken Barnaby arrested,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29you've proved your point. And if he doesn't...
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Well, I don't know what's going to open your eyes.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34You don't have to enjoy this so much, Erin.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35You're better than this.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41No. What I am is better than him.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45And so are you.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05The clothes and the wig date to the early '80s.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10But whoever's face is on that mask, she's not in the cold case files.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12It all fits the MO, but she's just not in there.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16OK, so if she's not a known victim, then what is the killer recreating?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18What am I not seeing?
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Boss, I've had an idea about the other thing. Jared Cass.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Mind if I shoot off, and look into it?
0:38:27 > 0:38:28Yeah. You go.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40How'd it go with Ronnie Holland?
0:38:40 > 0:38:41I found him dead in his hallway.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45He'd been there for months.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48The neighbours thought the stink came from the communal bins.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Cause of death?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Blunt-force trauma to the skull. No sign of struggle.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57John, where's all this going?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00I don't know. It's all mixed up. Past, present.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03I can't get my head around it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06OK. Back to Emily Hammond.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Emily, because...
0:39:09 > 0:39:14Emily, because Emily has some particular quality
0:39:14 > 0:39:16which reminds the killer of...
0:39:16 > 0:39:20..this woman. Right, but what connects her
0:39:20 > 0:39:25to a series of murders that happened 30 years ago?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28What ties them together?
0:39:30 > 0:39:31What do they have in common?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Everything. They've got everything in common.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41We've been looking at this the wrong way round.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45Emily was the fantasy. Specifically her.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46It's always been about her.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Yeah, then, why cover her face? Why the mask and the clothes?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53That's not another woman.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Cos that's Emily.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57He's making her look the way she used to,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59back in 1982.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- These bins have definitely been emptied and searched?- Yes, Guv.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06But upstairs, by the garbage chute, there's loads of piles of bin bags.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- They weren't there this morning. - Give me the torch.
0:41:15 > 0:41:16It's blocked.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21I want this chute emptied and searched.
0:41:26 > 0:41:27- That was nice.- Yeah.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31That was really, really lovely.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Did you hear a...?
0:41:37 > 0:41:39OK.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Smokey!
0:42:52 > 0:42:53Benny was right.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Emily is absolutely not in the cold case file.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59However, I know how Ronnie's mind worked.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02He would have kept a subset of "possibly related" files.
0:43:02 > 0:43:03Is she in there?
0:43:05 > 0:43:091982, Emily Hammond's 14 years of age,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12she's living with her mother at 148 Crosswood Street, Shoreditch.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17On the evening of March 12th, Emily's alone at home, asleep,
0:43:17 > 0:43:20when the lodger comes home from a CND rally.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22The lodger discovers a man in Emily's bedroom.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26However the lodger isn't alone. She's got six other people with her,
0:43:26 > 0:43:27who are all fired-up from this rally.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29So the men get stuck into the intruder,
0:43:29 > 0:43:33- who makes a break for it and gets away.- It's him.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Ronnie seemed to think so, but his bosses didn't agree.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37MO was different.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40The other victims were older, in their twenties, lived alone.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42How many people lived at that address?
0:43:42 > 0:43:46Oh, Emily and her mother, a Claire Hammond, since died.
0:43:46 > 0:43:48Oh, and the lodger, Dani Shahi.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Dani Shahi, we need to speak to her,
0:43:50 > 0:43:52and the other six people that were at that house that day.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55See if there's anything in their memories that we can use.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Justin?
0:43:57 > 0:43:58'I'm back at the Hawksmoor Estate.'
0:43:58 > 0:44:01'The killer filmed Jared Cass begging for his life,
0:44:01 > 0:44:03'then threw the phone away.'
0:44:03 > 0:44:04But first, he removed the SIM card.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06And you can't do that with gloves on.
0:44:06 > 0:44:07We've got a clean print.
0:44:10 > 0:44:11Good. Great work.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14So, do we bring Barnaby in?
0:44:14 > 0:44:15No, come on. It's late.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17And we ain't even got his fingerprints on file.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20- No, but he did it.- 'What do you want me to do? Call in the SAS?'
0:44:20 > 0:44:23I've got a dead copper here and a woman strangled in her bed.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25Barnaby's a vigilante killer.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27All right. I'll take care of it.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31Jeez, who beat HIM with the grumpy stick?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33I have no idea.
0:44:33 > 0:44:35Get me Ken Barnaby's number, please.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37Can you sign this, boss?
0:44:43 > 0:44:45- Come on, Benny.- All right.
0:44:52 > 0:44:53Cheers.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09Hello?
0:45:09 > 0:45:13Mr Barnaby? It's DCI John Luther from Serious and Serial.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14We spoke earlier?
0:45:14 > 0:45:16Yes. Hi. How can I can help?
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Nothing to worry about at all.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21Just your fingerprints are not on file and I'd like to,
0:45:21 > 0:45:26well, take a record of them just to eliminate you from the enquiry.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Absolutely. No problem. What time shall I come?
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Just after nine. Any time after nine.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34And give your name to the desk sergeant.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38- 'Excellent. OK, then. I'll see you in the morning.'- All right.
0:45:55 > 0:45:56Where are you going?
0:45:56 > 0:45:58Nowhere. I'm staying here with you.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23How is he?
0:47:27 > 0:47:28He's going to lose his hand.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30And that fingerprint's no good
0:47:30 > 0:47:33without a finger to compare it to, is it?
0:47:33 > 0:47:34His fingerprints are all over the house.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37So go and find them. Dust everything he ever touched.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41You've still got to prove that print belongs to a finger
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- that doesn't exist any more. - We can do that.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48Maybe. But if I was on the defence team, I'd argue it into the ground.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51And if I was on the jury, looking at poor Ken Barnaby,
0:47:51 > 0:47:55I'd look for any excuse not to convict.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57The fingerprint on the SIM card?
0:47:58 > 0:48:00That's got Barnaby bang to rights.
0:48:02 > 0:48:03All this...
0:48:03 > 0:48:06looks like someone trying to give himself a chance
0:48:06 > 0:48:08at reasonable doubt.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27Dani Shahi, the lodger. Married, divorced, remarried again,
0:48:27 > 0:48:30is now Dani Lane.
0:48:30 > 0:48:31Think it's too late to call?
0:48:43 > 0:48:44Smokey!
0:48:53 > 0:48:55Smokey! Smokey!
0:49:19 > 0:49:22- Did you warn him? - Warn who about what?
0:49:22 > 0:49:24PHONE RINGS
0:49:24 > 0:49:26Who's that calling so late?
0:49:27 > 0:49:29- Hello?- Did you warn him? - Sorry, who are we talking about?
0:49:29 > 0:49:32- Ken Barnaby!- 'Hello?'- I told him to come in and get his prints done.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34And did you know what he'd do?
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Because you know people, don't you? You know how they think.
0:49:37 > 0:49:38Mate, I'm lost.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41Whatever's happened, I promise you, I had nothing to do with it.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43- Again.- Sorry?- No matter what it is, it's never you, is it?
0:49:43 > 0:49:47- Justin, I don't know what you're talking... - There was blood on the ceiling!
0:49:53 > 0:49:54What are you doing?!
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Right, whatever this is, it ends, here and now.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00- Do you understand me? - What is wrong with you, Justin?!
0:50:00 > 0:50:02I want you both out of my sight.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Back here tomorrow morning with this resolved,
0:50:04 > 0:50:05or you're both suspended. John?
0:50:05 > 0:50:07- Yes. Boss.- Justin?
0:50:39 > 0:50:40Oh!
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Cold, cold, cold! Your feet are freezing!
0:50:43 > 0:50:45How's the headache?
0:50:45 > 0:50:46I haven't got a headache.
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Excellent.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52It's too cold for any of that malarkey.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54- It'll warm you up.- I'm reading!
0:50:58 > 0:50:59SHE LAUGHS
0:51:12 > 0:51:14WHINING
0:51:16 > 0:51:17What was that?
0:51:17 > 0:51:19I don't know.
0:51:19 > 0:51:21I thought I heard it before. I thought maybe it was...
0:51:21 > 0:51:23What?
0:51:24 > 0:51:26Sounds like a cat.
0:51:29 > 0:51:31MOANING
0:51:31 > 0:51:33What the hell is that?
0:51:39 > 0:51:41What are you doing?
0:51:41 > 0:51:42Calling the police.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44And tell them what? Our cat's stuck in the attic?
0:51:44 > 0:51:45It's weird.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51MEOWING
0:51:54 > 0:51:56The cat.
0:52:00 > 0:52:01How did it get up there?
0:52:02 > 0:52:05There must be a loose tile and he's climbed in,
0:52:05 > 0:52:07and can't get out.
0:53:22 > 0:53:24Oh!
0:53:31 > 0:53:32Craig?
0:53:35 > 0:53:37Oh!
0:53:44 > 0:53:46SHE SCREAMS
0:53:53 > 0:53:54SCREAMING
0:54:58 > 0:55:00DOOR CLOSES
0:55:35 > 0:55:36RINGING TONE
0:55:45 > 0:55:50The name, Luther, comes from my grandad.
0:55:50 > 0:55:51He chose it.
0:55:51 > 0:55:52'Why?'
0:55:54 > 0:55:55For love.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57'That's got to be just about the best reason
0:55:57 > 0:55:59'to do anything, doesn't it?'
0:55:59 > 0:56:02So, er, is it too late for that drink?
0:56:22 > 0:56:26'Aaaah! Help!'
0:56:31 > 0:56:34You're right. Somebody needs to stop him.
0:56:45 > 0:56:46Stop!
0:57:08 > 0:57:10You're such a gentle man.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13I don't know about that.
0:57:17 > 0:57:20I'm going to take you down twice as hard and twice as fast.
