0:02:30 > 0:02:32All five of them, sir, yeah.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Well, Todorov was a bit put out but he seems to be seeing sense now, sir.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Well, I thought that UCOS still had a short list?

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Oh, right. I see.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Me? Are you sure?

0:02:57 > 0:03:01No, I'm excited about the prospect, sir. Yep.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42What time do you make it?

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Ten.- No. I mean exact time.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46All right. One minute to.

0:03:49 > 0:03:5249, 48, 47.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54All right, all right.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59So, come on, what do we think? Is she the real deal?

0:03:59 > 0:04:00Is she here on merit?

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Kidnap Unit? Serious Crime Squad? She's got to be.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05But is she here for the long haul, though?

0:04:05 > 0:04:08- I mean, we don't know her, do we? - Never even heard of her?

0:04:08 > 0:04:12I've heard of her, yeah. She's, what? 40ish? Big girl.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16I say big...heavy. 15 stone.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Lives in a commune.- Commune?

0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Just women. No men.- 15 stone?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Oh, my God!

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Morning.- Morning, sir.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I'd like to introduce you to DCI Sasha Miller.

0:04:30 > 0:04:35She's celebrating a promotion today as well as her appointment

0:04:35 > 0:04:37as the head the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- It's lovely to meet you all. - Steve McAndrew. Hello.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Ex-Glasgow CID?- That's right.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- My son's at uni there. He's having a great time.- It's a great town.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Dan Griffin.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Dan or Danny? HE HESITATES

0:04:50 > 0:04:52I like Dan. It's lovely to meet you.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56- Hiya.- You must be Gerry Standing. I've heard lots about you.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Only good things, I hope.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Very, very good.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- DCI Miller has spent... - Oh, hold on. Sasha, please.- OK.

0:05:05 > 0:05:12Sasha has spent the last week or so getting to grips with UCOS's background, its MO and ethos.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15She's tremendously impressed by the Unit's track record

0:05:15 > 0:05:17so she's eager to get going.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20So...how do you want to start?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Well, this is interesting.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Only came in yesterday.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Oh, yeah. Italian immigrant.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Killed 25 years ago on an allotment.

0:05:34 > 0:05:40- Allotment?- Oh, and then this turned up last week. Murder weapon.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Only problem is, so did an unexploded bomb.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47I don't think this is the appropriate case for you...

0:05:47 > 0:05:49No, no, no. This is very interesting.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52The bomb hasn't been diffused, by the way.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54And the case is 25 years old.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Sure. But now you've got this murder weapon...

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Don't you want to see your office? It's just through here.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yeah, yeah. Looks great.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10- Shall we go? Are you OK in my car? - Yeah, yeah, all right.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Sure, yeah.

0:06:14 > 0:06:1715 stone!

0:06:25 > 0:06:29January 1988. Alessandro Manzini, 65. He'd been drinking.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31He's knifed in the throat

0:06:31 > 0:06:33and his body stuffed upside-down in a water butt,

0:06:33 > 0:06:37which then freezes solid overnight as the temperature drops below zero.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Has to be thawed out before the PM can take place.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Don't get one of these every day of the week.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45So...what do you think?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48- BANG! - Oh, shit!

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Oh, looks like a cut and burn. - A what?

0:06:51 > 0:06:54They burn out the explosive from inside, sometimes it gets too hot.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Bang!

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Hiya. - Oh, you must be the guys from UCOS.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Yeah. Gerry Standing. - Steve McAndrew. Hello.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Dan Griffin.- Dicky Smith. Plot-holders' Association.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I handle the day to day running of the place.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35DCI Sasha Miller. Hi.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Interesting day.- Yeah. There's a left-over present from Jerry.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41At least they didn't have to blow the whole place up.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44This is Giulietta, Mr Manzini's daughter.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Her husband, Alberto's a fellow committee member.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm sorry. This must be distressing for you, even after all this time.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Not if it means finding out who killed my father.

0:07:54 > 0:07:58The knife? You identified this knife as belonging to him.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yeah, I bought it a few days before he died.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04It was a birthday present.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06But you don't know where it was found?

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Army swept a whole chunk of the place trying to find any more of Jerry's calling cards.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Anything they found, anything metal,

0:08:12 > 0:08:15they dug up and just put in a heap over there.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18The original investigation found that...

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Listen, listen. The plot-holders who are here now, I mean,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23some of them must have been on the allotment back then?

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30Giulietta used to help your dad. There's Ray Barlow...

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Alberto used to work with his father.

0:08:32 > 0:08:38He still does. Mo's... Massimo is Italian like Alessandro.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40They were very good friends.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Massimo, the original investigation

0:08:42 > 0:08:46found that there had been problems on the allotments.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50That things have been stolen, windows were smashed.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53You and Alessandro, you seem to have suffered the most

0:08:53 > 0:08:55but you didn't say anything. Why?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58We were outsiders, you understand?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01Also we don't use the allotment like the English.

0:09:01 > 0:09:06Our wives and children come not just to help but to eat,

0:09:06 > 0:09:09drink, make fun.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14Many of the people, they don't like what we plant -

0:09:14 > 0:09:17chillies, radicchio, rucola.

0:09:17 > 0:09:23They say, "That stuff won't work here." Ha! It grows like mad.

0:09:24 > 0:09:29They don't like it. Me and Alessandro, we win the competitions.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32They don't like it.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34If you thought it was someone at the allotments

0:09:34 > 0:09:36why didn't you say so at the time?

0:09:36 > 0:09:40- My son is born here. I am not. - Papa.- No, no, it is different now.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Now everyone loves Italians.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Then...they hate us.

0:09:44 > 0:09:49Even in '88 some still hate us for the war.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Racism? Dicky Smith's not a racist!

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- He did call the Germans Jerry, Gerry?- Oh, please!

0:09:56 > 0:10:00Look, I played on bombsites all the time when I was a kid,

0:10:00 > 0:10:03it doesn't mean I want to kill every German I meet.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05And what about him and Alberto? They're mates.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Yeah, but Alberto's second generation.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10All right, so Dicky's Smith did do this,

0:10:10 > 0:10:13how come he not shitting himself now that the knife's turned up?

0:10:13 > 0:10:16He couldn't care less at the murder weapon just lying around.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18The knife's rusty and covered in mud.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21The labs think it's been underground for a long time.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24The point is, the killer sticks the knife in a bloke's throat, right?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Picks him up, turns him upside-down and puts him in a water barrel.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Dicky Smith can hardly walk! - Butt.- But what?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Not a barrel, it's a butt.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- The bloke who did this... - Or woman.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42The person who killed Manzini has got to be bonkers.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48He's a psycho, right? Do you get that feeling from Dicky Smith? No!

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Now, this is deliberate.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52I've not come across many knives in the throat.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Slashed across it maybe but in, like that, no.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00And then his body's tipped head first upside-down into a butt of water.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Now, that's deliberate, not random. Specific. It's kind of like a...

0:11:03 > 0:11:08- A ritual?- Ritual? - Raymond Peter Barlow.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Now, the murder team had a word with him back in '88.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Dicky said he still has an allotment.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17He was arrested 21st June 1997 for assaulting a police officer

0:11:17 > 0:11:20at Stonehenge during the summer solstice.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Fined £2,000. He's a druid.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30A truck-driving druid, eh? Can't be hard to find.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32See you later, then.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Giulietta. Hi.- Hi.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Have you got a minute? - Yeah, sure. Sit down.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Thanks.- Coffee?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Cappuccino would be great. Thank you.- Albie, due cappuccino.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52- Busy place. - Always busy. Used to be my dad's.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55It took him and my mum years to scrape the money together

0:11:55 > 0:11:59but they managed it and now it's a local institution.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02What was he like, your father?

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Decent. Hard working.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08He only left Italy after the war because there were just no jobs.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12He met my mum in a Lyons corner house

0:12:12 > 0:12:15but he thought the food and drink were shocking.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19She said he only opened a cafe so he could get a decent cup of coffee.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Mum never got over it.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I was still at home. I'd just got engaged.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30My father had been at the allotment then came back for lunch,

0:12:30 > 0:12:32had a bit to drink then went for a walk.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I stayed at my friend Angela's that night.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Mum went to bed early. She didn't know.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I'm sorry.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Giulietta, tell me about Ray Barlow? How'd your dad get on with Ray?

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- What, Moonlight Ray?- Albie.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51Seriously.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53He plants at night.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56- You know he's a... - He and my father got on fine.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Your dad used to piss himself. - Ray Barlow plants at night?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Used to do it any old night, apparently.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04But then when he come back it had to be by the light of the moon!

0:13:04 > 0:13:08It's quite common. A lot of people think that the moon affects

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- when you should plant things. - What do you mean, when he came back?

0:13:11 > 0:13:14He moved away about a year after your dad died.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Only been back the last five years.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Don't get me wrong, Ray's a nice enough bloke

0:13:19 > 0:13:22but you've got to admit, darling, he is a bit odd.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29In case you hadn't noticed, I'm also a truck driver.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32And how does that fit in with your druidic work?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Druidism is a calling, not a job.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37And what was it calling you to do in June '97

0:13:37 > 0:13:41when you punched Police Constable Dredge in the face?

0:13:41 > 0:13:43The police at Stonehenge were intent

0:13:43 > 0:13:45on preventing us practise our religious rites.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48You'd been told not to turn up.

0:13:48 > 0:13:49Two wrongs don't make a right.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Is that supposed to be funny? - It's been a long day.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Listen, in 1988 Alessandro Manzini was murdered.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Now, according to the tachograph in your cab,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- you were driving your truck that day.- Correct.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06But that was before digital machines was introduced, am I right?

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- Meaning what?- Meaning the old tachographs were unreliable.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13They could be recalibrated. They could be fixed.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Are you looking at me for the old man's murder?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18- You're having a laugh! - Not even deep down inside.

0:14:18 > 0:14:21I was in Scotland when Manzini died. My tachograph checked out A-OK!

0:14:21 > 0:14:23Where's this coming from?

0:14:26 > 0:14:28So I punched a copper, I'm a villain,

0:14:28 > 0:14:30I'm a druid so I'm a nutter.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33You people are crap. You know nothing.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35That's not strictly true, Ray.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37For example, I know Julius Caesar wrote that Celtic druids

0:14:37 > 0:14:41- practised human sacrifice. - HE LAUGHS

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Been a long day for you as well, has it?- Is he for real?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Listen, did you have any trouble

0:14:46 > 0:14:48with anybody on the allotment in the past?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50No, I'm not saying any more.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53You want to talk more, talk to my solicitor.

0:14:53 > 0:14:54Of course, you've got one.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59We'll be in touch, Ray.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Julius Caesar?

0:15:07 > 0:15:09History Of The Gallic Wars, Book Six.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Geotropism.- What?

0:15:14 > 0:15:17The effect of gravity upon the growth of plants.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Some people believe that a waxing or waning moon

0:15:20 > 0:15:23can have a positive effect on germination and plant growth.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27No wonder Manzini pissed himself laughing.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Did anyone ever say whether he actually laughed in Barlow's face?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32Giulietta says it was a long time ago.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36So...you got this bloke who punches a copper who's stopping him

0:15:36 > 0:15:37watch the sun come up,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40a truck-driving druid who plants things at night

0:15:40 > 0:15:43and who's got a criminal record for violence.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45What's not to like?

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Did you say that the killing was like a ritual.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49No, no, he said that. What I said...

0:15:51 > 0:15:52Anyway, regardless of that,

0:15:52 > 0:15:55we haven't pinned the knife on anyone yet, let alone Barlow.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56Forensics...

0:15:56 > 0:15:58With all due respect, guv'nor...

0:15:58 > 0:16:02forensics don't solve most of these cases, we do.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11OK.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15OK, let's take a more traditional approach.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Who's the prime suspect in any murder?

0:16:18 > 0:16:20The wife, close family members?

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, I'm sorry I've seen better alibis.

0:16:22 > 0:16:23The dead man's wife's asleep?

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Daughter, Giulietta's "at a friend's"?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28The murder team said they were both totally distraught

0:16:28 > 0:16:29when they heard he was killed.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31Giulietta's tiny and so was her mum.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35To get Alessandro into a water butt, that would have taken some muscle.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Ray Barlow's not exactly small, is he?

0:16:37 > 0:16:40And why did he leg it so soon after the murder?

0:16:40 > 0:16:43And where was he all those years that he was away?

0:16:45 > 0:16:46Fair enough.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56After lunch, why don't you two have another go at Ray Barlow?

0:16:56 > 0:16:59And Steve and I will talk to Dicky Smith about him.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00OK.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03Lunch?!

0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm sorry, I don't get it with her -

0:17:05 > 0:17:07where she's at or where she's coming from.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Einstein spent his entire life trying to work that one out.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13I've got a funny feeling about her. Her and the job!

0:17:13 > 0:17:15She is pretty gorgeous, though, isn't she?

0:17:15 > 0:17:19So was Sandra and they are big shoes to fill!

0:17:19 > 0:17:21How did she get this gig?

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Strickland. Maybe she and...- Sir.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26See you later, boss.

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Bye-bye.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Her and Strickland?

0:17:34 > 0:17:36You're having a giraffe, aren't you?

0:17:36 > 0:17:38THEY LAUGH

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- How's it going?- Oh...

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Well, it's not smashing down doors or going after Russian gangsters,

0:17:52 > 0:17:54- that's for sure.- No.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59You know, my first case, the first one I've got is 25 years old.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05It's interesting but it's just so different.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07How about the Old Men of the Hills?

0:18:07 > 0:18:09Bit old-fashioned as well?

0:18:09 > 0:18:11They have one or two interesting theories.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Interesting?! First time I've ever heard them described as that.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19I did warn you that UCOS was a totally different culture.

0:18:19 > 0:18:20Did you?

0:18:20 > 0:18:24Yeah. Anyway, too late now. How's Rob Strickland?

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Oh, actually I'm seeing him in a minute.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Be nice if we could have a drink tonight. I might need one.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31I can't. I'm with the Deputy Mayor.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33I'll try and sneak away as soon as I can.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37But if I don't go now, he'll be giving me grief all afternoon.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- See you later.- See you.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44KNOCK AT DOOR

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Come in.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Sir. You wanted to see me?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yes. I just wanted to see how things were going,

0:18:49 > 0:18:51see how you're settling in.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53Oh. Erm...

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Yes, fine, thank you.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59And the boys are they behaving themselves?

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yeah, they're being...

0:19:03 > 0:19:06They're being very helpful.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09I want to establish something right from the off.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13As you're well aware, this unit has a phenomenal clear-up rate

0:19:13 > 0:19:15but they do need managing.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18It's a very fine balancing act.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Understood.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Good.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Sir, do you mind if I ask you something personal?

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Yeah, yeah, of course.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40My husband, did you speak to him at any point

0:19:40 > 0:19:42during the selection process?

0:19:42 > 0:19:43We speak all the time.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45No, I mean about me,

0:19:45 > 0:19:47before or after the interview period.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Yes.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53But I can assure you that the job was awarded strictly on merit.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Thank you. Thank you, sir.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09When I was at work, I'd have a hundred things to think about.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Five minutes down here, and you forget everything.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18I tell you, stress is a killer.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22I mean, it's...

0:20:22 > 0:20:23We spoke to Guilietta.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25She said there had been problems

0:20:25 > 0:20:27with some of the allotment holders in the past.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30They were stroppy to her and to Alberto when they were kids.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33Yeah, some of the members don't like kids running around.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35You?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37No. No. I had kids of my own.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Who, then? Just between me and you.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42None of the blokes on the allotment could have killed Alessandro.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45I can understand that you didn't want to point the finger back then,

0:20:45 > 0:20:47but let's stop messing around.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49We're talking about Ray Barlow. Yeah?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Ray? No, no.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Who, then?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57I don't like to speak ill of the dead.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00You have to remember back in '88, there were still blokes who

0:21:00 > 0:21:03fought in the war and they found it very difficult...

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Names, Dicky!

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Ron Stapleton and Ralph Meecker.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Both in the army.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15Ralph used to go on and on about the war.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16What about Ron?

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Ron never liked to talk about what he's seen ever.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Stapleton and Meeker are in the case file.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I know. The original investigation checked them out.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Yeah, but there's nothing in there about what Dicky just said,

0:21:38 > 0:21:40about them not being able to forget about the war.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41If they were soldiers,

0:21:41 > 0:21:45one of them could easily have killed Manzini and turned him upside-down.

0:21:45 > 0:21:46But maybe they acted together.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49If we find out where they were during the war...

0:21:49 > 0:21:50Yeah, where they served.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55So you're saying is one or both of these men waited 43 years

0:21:55 > 0:21:58until after World War II and then suddenly snapped,

0:21:58 > 0:22:01rammed a knife in Manzini's throat and stuck him upside-down

0:22:01 > 0:22:03in a water barrel, yeah?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06- Well...- And Ray Barlow? Is he out of the picture now, then?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07No, not at all.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09There's still definitely something not right about him.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11"Not right?"

0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK. And his motive?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16He's got a short fuse. Very short.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19- If Manzini did laugh at him and I think...- If?

0:22:22 > 0:22:26OK, what's the best way to, I mean...

0:22:27 > 0:22:29..where do we go with this?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33Well, normally what we do...

0:22:33 > 0:22:35Obviously, there were still lots of ifs and maybes,

0:22:35 > 0:22:38so why don't you take the rest of the day off,

0:22:38 > 0:22:40and we all have a little think about things?

0:22:40 > 0:22:41Yeah, yeah, suits me.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44How about we come back here tomorrow morning when the market's

0:22:44 > 0:22:46up and running, and all the plot holders are on site?

0:22:46 > 0:22:47On a Saturday?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Let's see how they react when they know we're watching them.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, I'd have to clear it with my daughter Holly so...

0:22:53 > 0:22:54OK, fine, you know.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Great.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, stick these in the boot for me, will you?

0:22:59 > 0:23:01Thanks.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15I mean, even calling her guv'nor sticks in my throat.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17Just call her Sasha, then.

0:23:17 > 0:23:18I can't call her Sasha!

0:23:18 > 0:23:20I keep thinking she's going to start singing

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Sacha Distel!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid. I loved that.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28What a film, eh? What about The Wild Bunch?

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Fantastic.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31How the West Was Won.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33You know the music in that...

0:23:33 > 0:23:35BJ Thomas.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36- What?- Sorry?

0:23:36 > 0:23:39He sang the original, for the film.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41BJ Thomas, not Sacha Distel.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Why don't you go and play the quiz machine?

0:23:43 > 0:23:47No, I can't. I'm waiting for more people to lose on it first.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53Oh, I knew it.

0:23:53 > 0:23:54What is it?

0:23:54 > 0:23:56She's married.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Shit happens.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59She's married to Ned Hancock.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Lucky old Ned.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ned Hancock.

0:24:04 > 0:24:05What?! You're kid...

0:24:05 > 0:24:09Yeah, I knew it! It's jobs for the boys, innit?!

0:24:09 > 0:24:10Well, more girls, really.

0:24:10 > 0:24:11That's it!

0:24:11 > 0:24:13What are you going to do?

0:24:13 > 0:24:14I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19I'm going to prove that we know how to do the job and she doesn't.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22"Let's all just have a little think about things."

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Well, I'm going back to work!

0:24:24 > 0:24:25- What?- Work?

0:24:25 > 0:24:28Yeah. You coming?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Yeah, sure!

0:24:30 > 0:24:33Well, Holly's revising. I really ought to get back.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- See you later, then.- Yeah, see you.

0:24:45 > 0:24:46She's not here.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48Of course she's not here!

0:24:48 > 0:24:50We didn't get the afternoon off, she did!

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Trying to be nice. Pretending to be our mate.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56She's not. She's the mate of that mob upstairs.

0:25:05 > 0:25:07OK.

0:25:09 > 0:25:11Let's do this job properly, shall we?

0:25:11 > 0:25:12Right.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Page one.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23"Alessandro Giuseppe Manzini

0:25:23 > 0:25:30"was born Padua 1923. Served in the Italian Army 1941-1944.

0:25:30 > 0:25:34"Captured, Anzio, January 29th '44.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37"Prisoner of war from 1944-45.

0:25:37 > 0:25:40"Leaves Italy in '46.

0:25:40 > 0:25:43"Arriving in London April 22nd of the same year."

0:25:43 > 0:25:44Listen to this.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47"Ron Stapleton, he was with the Durham Light Infantry in Burma."

0:25:47 > 0:25:49But, but...

0:25:49 > 0:25:51"Ralph Meeker was with the 8th Army in North Africa.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52"Green Howards."

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Now he could have fought against the Italians.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Well, there you go, then.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59But the Eyeties never had a bad reputation, you know.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02The Japs, the Germans. But the Italians?

0:26:02 > 0:26:05Pasta, cappuccino. What's to hate?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Well, maybe he had a terrible personal experience with them.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Where are they now?- Er...

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Dead.

0:26:13 > 0:26:16Stapleton in '89 and Meeker in '91.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18Not long after the murder.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Maybe we're getting somewhere!- Yeah.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29- Hi.- Hi.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Why don't you get the cleaner to do that?

0:26:36 > 0:26:38She never gets it right. It's safer if I do it.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41So, day one in the UCOS house.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Honestly?- Uh-huh.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48I don't think I can do this.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51What are you talking about?

0:26:51 > 0:26:53UCOS.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- I just don't think I'm right.- What?

0:26:56 > 0:27:00It's the guys there, they work in a totally different way.

0:27:01 > 0:27:06I know it's only day one and they are technically civilians

0:27:06 > 0:27:07but...

0:27:09 > 0:27:12It's just with them, everything's like hunches and speculation.

0:27:12 > 0:27:14It's just like what if a suspect did this?

0:27:14 > 0:27:15What if the suspect went there?

0:27:15 > 0:27:18It's like a completely different mind-set.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22Hang on, are talking about walking away 24 hours into the job?

0:27:22 > 0:27:23Look, when I was promoted,

0:27:23 > 0:27:26I didn't expect to be running something like UCOS.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28It's not the work.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31The cases are all absolutely worthwhile. It's just...

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Come on, we both know this is not the place you go if...

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Why do you think you've been brought in?

0:27:35 > 0:27:39It's because of who you are, the way you go about things.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41I know guys like this, old time cops.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44Just give it to them straight. That's what they're used to.

0:27:44 > 0:27:45That's what they want.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Yeah, but...- You can't give up!

0:27:48 > 0:27:53It's bound to be hard, the first few days, but, hey, welcome to my world.

0:28:17 > 0:28:18Not in the market, Ray?

0:28:20 > 0:28:24No. I don't sell stuff.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28That a financial or ethical decision?

0:28:30 > 0:28:32I'll put you down as undecided, shall I?

0:28:35 > 0:28:39So, Ray, from 1989 to 2001 you live in Glastonbury.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41Then Cornwall until 2004.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43In 2008 you end up in London.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47Where were you between 2004 to 2008?

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Ha! Say hello to DCI Miller.

0:28:52 > 0:28:53Nice plot, Ray. Soil looks good.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57Only took him five years. He was away four years before then.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58Where was it again, Ray?

0:28:58 > 0:29:00What are you putting in?

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Brassicas.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04No need for that, Ray, only trying to be nice.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Don't! Don't touch my allotment.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34Hi, Alberto, do you grow all of this yourself?

0:29:34 > 0:29:37- With the little help from the man upstairs.- Right, yeah.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41Hey, I want to ask you, you know Ron Stapleton and Ralph Meeker?

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Were they ever...

0:29:43 > 0:29:47aggressive, difficult with you and Giulietta when you were younger?

0:29:47 > 0:29:49It was a long time ago.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52Hey, come and try this homemade wine.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54OK. Thanks, Massimo! How you doin'?

0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Good, good. Go ahead. - Oh, thanks.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Hey, Gerry, try some of this homemade wine.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03- English red?! I don't think so. - Italian red.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Oh, yeah? What grape do you use?

0:30:05 > 0:30:07Two. Sangiovese and Nebbiolo.

0:30:07 > 0:30:09In London?! You're having a laugh.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10Give it a crack. Go on.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18Cor blimey! You make this?! You really make this?

0:30:18 > 0:30:20Right, I'll have a couple of those?

0:30:20 > 0:30:21- Me too. - Here, Dan, try this red wine!

0:30:21 > 0:30:25You know legally you're not allowed to sell alcohol without a licence?

0:30:28 > 0:30:31I'll have three.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33A bit of light refreshment?

0:30:33 > 0:30:36It's all this hard work on a weekend.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39Blimey, that's going to be some Sunday roast, isn't it?

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Just for you and Ned?

0:30:43 > 0:30:45Guys, could I have a quick word?

0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Don't sell any of this, we'll be right back.- Yeah.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Look, obviously you and Sandra Pullman were very close and she

0:30:57 > 0:31:02did a fabulous job, so I understand that this is bit difficult for you.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05You don't know me - I don't know you.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08So, let's start again, yeah?

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Look, why don't you come back to mine,

0:31:12 > 0:31:15I'll make some lunch and we can talk through where we are?

0:31:18 > 0:31:20I'm not going to poison you.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Won't your husband mind?

0:31:21 > 0:31:24Well, he's not there. He's away for a three days.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26An ACPO conference in Birmingham.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29- Sure. OK, why not?- Thank you.

0:31:29 > 0:31:32Great. Well, I only live down the road.

0:31:32 > 0:31:34I'll text you the address.

0:31:34 > 0:31:35- OK. See you there.- Yeah.- See you.

0:31:40 > 0:31:41Here you go, number 8?

0:31:43 > 0:31:45Bloody hell!

0:31:45 > 0:31:46Come through.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50Thanks. Cor blimey, this is lovely, isn't it?

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Thanks. Coats?

0:31:52 > 0:31:54You haven't done the vegetables.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55I'm waiting for the pie.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Is it all right if I open this?

0:31:58 > 0:31:59Yes, of course.

0:32:03 > 0:32:07That's Alex. He's in uni now. He's doing modern languages.

0:32:07 > 0:32:12And that's Maddy. She's in her first year at York doing English.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15How's your daughter? It's Holly, isn't it?

0:32:15 > 0:32:17Yeah, she's fine.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Right, and her mother is?

0:32:20 > 0:32:23Her mother was sectioned couple of years ago.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28She's in a secure unit of a mental hospital, just outside Guildford.

0:32:31 > 0:32:32Right.

0:32:35 > 0:32:38Actually, I don't like leaving Holly alone too long at the weekends,

0:32:38 > 0:32:40- so shall we get on with the case? - Yes.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43I checked out Ray Barlow.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47After '88 he lived most of the time in the West Country.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50But then for four years he vanished, before suddenly

0:32:50 > 0:32:53reappearing in London, and back at the allotments, in 2008.

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Jail? Abroad?- That's what I think.

0:32:56 > 0:32:58Yeah, Gerry and I were checking out Stapleton

0:32:58 > 0:33:00and Meeker, you know the ex-soldiers?

0:33:00 > 0:33:02- Meeker was in the 8th Army.- Really?

0:33:02 > 0:33:05Yeah. North Africa, Sicily, Italy.

0:33:05 > 0:33:10- And Manzini was taken prisoner at Anzio.- Anzio?- Exactly.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13- When did you find this out? - Last night, at the office.

0:33:13 > 0:33:16- The office?- Yeah. Is that a problem?

0:33:17 > 0:33:19No, no. I'm just surprised that...

0:33:19 > 0:33:23Well, not as surprised as we were, to learn that you're married to DAC.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32Oh, I see. And is that a problem?

0:33:32 > 0:33:34No. It wouldn't have been if you'd let us know.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37- It's hardly a secret.- It was to us.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39I saw you canoodling in the corridor.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42What was he doing? Checking up on us?

0:33:42 > 0:33:45- Are we going to be under constant surveillance?- No, I won't have that.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47This was a case that you didn't even want,

0:33:47 > 0:33:49so you were trying it on from the start.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50No! That was a joke!

0:33:50 > 0:33:52No-one wants these cases, that's why they're ours!

0:33:52 > 0:33:56- It's just their act. - Really? Then it's a bloody good one.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Not as good as yours.

0:34:02 > 0:34:03I beg your pardon?

0:34:03 > 0:34:06"What do you think, boys? What should we do next?

0:34:06 > 0:34:08"What about this? What about that?"

0:34:08 > 0:34:11I mean, Steve and I spent hours and hours trawling through stuff,

0:34:11 > 0:34:13looking at suspects and clues,

0:34:13 > 0:34:14but what have you done?!

0:34:20 > 0:34:22Why d'you think I got all these?

0:34:22 > 0:34:25What you think I am some sort of berserk vegetarian?!

0:34:25 > 0:34:28The knife - murder weapon - remember?

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Under ground at the allotment?

0:34:30 > 0:34:34Well, these are soil samples from almost every plot in there.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37And because every plot is different we should be able to ID

0:34:37 > 0:34:39exactly where the knife was buried by the killer.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42But so as not to spook them and have them all do a runner,

0:34:42 > 0:34:46- I had to find all of this, without anyone realising.- Including us.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49You weren't interested. Every time I mentioned the word forensics...

0:34:49 > 0:34:52No. Sorry. You thought we weren't sophisticated enough

0:34:52 > 0:34:55to act clandestinely until you did it on your own.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57You said you want to be open and honest,

0:34:57 > 0:35:00yet you spend the last two days keeping things away from us.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Gerry, Gerry.- No, I'm sorry.

0:35:03 > 0:35:06Quite honestly, if this is what UCOS is going to become,

0:35:06 > 0:35:08I'm out of it.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31Dad? Is that you?

0:35:31 > 0:35:35Apparently. You OK?

0:35:35 > 0:35:36Fine.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40What's she like, the new boss?

0:35:41 > 0:35:44Er... I don't know really. Different?

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Well, what's she look like? How old?

0:35:51 > 0:35:5440-ish? Tall, slim. Blonde.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57Attractive? Like a duck? What?

0:35:57 > 0:36:00Yeah. Quite good-looking.

0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Your type?- We were working, Holly, not speed-dating.

0:36:05 > 0:36:09She's married anyway so it's a moot point.

0:36:09 > 0:36:11You know, I wonder about you sometimes.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19What are you doing?

0:36:19 > 0:36:21Just looking someone up.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24Seeing where they've been the last 20 years.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Hi, Gerry, you'll never guess where I am.

0:37:16 > 0:37:17And it's a full moon later.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23Oh, shut up, stop moaning and get over here.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39Telling you, she's just a jumped-up Stalin!

0:37:42 > 0:37:44She don't know what she's doing.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49Is he in there?

0:37:49 > 0:37:52In about ten minutes, it'll be dark.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55In 20 minutes, we'll be freezing our bollocks off!

0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Shhh!- All right.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Ow!- Aw, shit!- What's going on?!

0:38:28 > 0:38:32All right, all right, sonny, come on.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Why don't you make some more noise so he comes out and sees all of us?

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Now, he's in his shed! So, get down here and shut up!

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Oh, changed your mind, Gerry?

0:38:43 > 0:38:46Anyway, what are you doing here?

0:38:46 > 0:38:47My job. What's your excuse?

0:38:47 > 0:38:51- It's a full moon. - Don't tell me, you're werewolves(?)

0:40:18 > 0:40:21How long have you been having an affair, Giulietta?

0:40:25 > 0:40:28I have to tell you, that Ray's alibi for the night your father died

0:40:28 > 0:40:31is looking less and less comfortable.

0:40:31 > 0:40:33Ray?! Ray had nothing to do with my father's death!

0:40:33 > 0:40:35He left London months after the murder.

0:40:35 > 0:40:38He comes back 20 years later to the same allotment

0:40:38 > 0:40:40and sleeps with the dead man's daughter?

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Pretty weird, even for a druid.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- You don't understand.- No, I don't.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Where were you the night Alessandro was murdered? Huh?

0:40:51 > 0:40:53OK. Angela Dunn, the "friend"

0:40:53 > 0:40:56you say you stayed with the night your father died?

0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Why don't I call her up and check out your alibi?- Ray.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02I was with Ray.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04We were together that night.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08What you were sleeping together while you were engaged to Alberto?

0:41:12 > 0:41:13We were in love.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19My father was very traditional.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21He would never have allowed Ray and I...

0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Sounds like a motive not a denial. - No!

0:41:26 > 0:41:28The next day, when I found out about my father,

0:41:28 > 0:41:32I could not forgive myself. It was as if God had punished me.

0:41:34 > 0:41:36I told Ray I couldn't see him again.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40Guv'nor...? Sasha.

0:41:43 > 0:41:44I won't be long.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00Giulietta says that you were together

0:42:00 > 0:42:02the night her father was killed.

0:42:02 > 0:42:08That you were lovers but Alessandro wouldn't have let you marry.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Is this true?- Yes.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13How long have you spoken Italian?

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Seven or eight years.

0:42:15 > 0:42:18In Italy. Rome. You went there...

0:42:18 > 0:42:20- To learn Italian.- Because?

0:42:22 > 0:42:24Because...I never forgot her.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32Even after all those years.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34I never gave up on the idea that one day,

0:42:34 > 0:42:37she and I might be together again.

0:42:37 > 0:42:40So, you came back. Even though she was married.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44- He doesn't love her. Not really. - And you restarted your affair.

0:42:44 > 0:42:45Because you loved her

0:42:45 > 0:42:49- and her father's death had nothing to do with you.- No.

0:42:52 > 0:42:53I don't believe you.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57This is a forensics report.

0:42:57 > 0:43:01About the pruning knife, well, the soil on it, to be precise.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05And because the soil on every plot in every allotment is different.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09chemical residues, minerals, metals, we've been able to

0:43:09 > 0:43:14identify exactly which plot the knife has been in all those years.

0:43:14 > 0:43:15Yours.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18No. No, that's not possible. It can't...

0:43:18 > 0:43:23Ray, I took these samples myself. Forensics don't lie.

0:43:23 > 0:43:25Now you explain to me how can this be wrong?

0:43:27 > 0:43:29Because I've only had it five years.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31Back in 1988 it wasn't my plot.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33- Whose was it? - I don't know. I can't remember.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39Massimo. He knows all about the allotment. He'll know.

0:43:40 > 0:43:46Here is my plot, now also Alberto's. This was Alessandro's.

0:43:46 > 0:43:50And this one? At that time...

0:43:50 > 0:43:53- Dicky Smith. - Dicky Smith? Are you sure?

0:43:53 > 0:43:56Yes. You don't remember?

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Dicky always want bigger allotment.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01Three years after Alessandro is killed...

0:44:01 > 0:44:041991?

0:44:04 > 0:44:09Ralph Meeker dies and Dicky Smith he takes Ralph's allotment,

0:44:09 > 0:44:11which is much bigger.

0:44:11 > 0:44:13And better. The soil is very good.

0:44:13 > 0:44:15PHONE RINGS

0:44:15 > 0:44:18Excuse me. Dan.

0:44:18 > 0:44:20No, we just...

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Anzio?

0:44:26 > 0:44:27You've seen this, Dicky.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30Yes.

0:44:30 > 0:44:34We managed to find out where it's been for the last 25 years.

0:44:34 > 0:44:37On Ray Barlow's allotment. The one that used to be yours.

0:44:38 > 0:44:39I don't understand.

0:44:39 > 0:44:42This knife was used to kill Alessandro Manzini,

0:44:42 > 0:44:45was buried in the plot that you had at the time.

0:44:45 > 0:44:46What don't you understand?

0:44:48 > 0:44:52- Me? You think it was me? - Yes, I do.

0:44:54 > 0:44:58How could it have been? I was home sick with my wife.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01Would this be the same wife that confirmed your alibi?

0:45:01 > 0:45:03Yeah, because it's true!

0:45:03 > 0:45:06So, how that did this knife end up there?

0:45:08 > 0:45:09I don't know.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12If I'd done him in, I wouldn't have buried it in my own plot, would I?

0:45:12 > 0:45:16- I think you panicked, wanted to get rid of it.- Then I would have stuck it somewhere else!

0:45:16 > 0:45:17In someone else's allotment!

0:45:17 > 0:45:21Would you? What, and run the risk of it being found?

0:45:21 > 0:45:23Why would I kill Alessandro?

0:45:23 > 0:45:25Do you recognise this, Dicky?

0:45:27 > 0:45:28Well?

0:45:28 > 0:45:30That's my birth certificate.

0:45:31 > 0:45:35Richard Reginald Smith. Born Acton, London.

0:45:35 > 0:45:39Father - Richard Michael Smith, deceased.

0:45:39 > 0:45:42Your father's war record. Royal Artillery.

0:45:42 > 0:45:46- Killed in action, January 24th, 1944.- At Anzio.

0:45:49 > 0:45:52In Italy, at Anzio.

0:45:52 > 0:45:54Why kill Alessandro Manzini?

0:45:54 > 0:45:55Because he fought and was captured at Anzio.

0:45:55 > 0:45:58The same place your father was killed.

0:45:58 > 0:46:00Alessandro was at Anzio?

0:46:00 > 0:46:03You know he was. Must have driven you mad.

0:46:03 > 0:46:05A man who fought where your father died?

0:46:05 > 0:46:07But he gets captured, survives, lives on after the war.

0:46:07 > 0:46:09He doesn't just come to England -

0:46:09 > 0:46:11he gets an allotment right next door to yours!

0:46:11 > 0:46:16- This guy could have killed your dad at Anzio all those years ago.- No!

0:46:16 > 0:46:19No, no, he couldn't have done. He surrendered in '43.

0:46:19 > 0:46:24Alessandro told us. Not '44. That's too late.

0:46:24 > 0:46:27I don't know, maybe he's just a really good liar.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30Giulietta told the original murder team

0:46:30 > 0:46:33that her father surrendered in 1943.

0:46:33 > 0:46:36We checked the Italian POW records at Kew,

0:46:36 > 0:46:37Alessandro Manzini

0:46:37 > 0:46:41was taken prisoner on 29th January 1944 at Anzio.

0:46:41 > 0:46:44So did why Alessandro lie to everybody?

0:46:44 > 0:46:46I don't know, but look at this.

0:46:46 > 0:46:51The Italian Army surrendered to the Allies, in September 1943.

0:46:51 > 0:46:53- Mussolini had already been arrested. - And?

0:46:53 > 0:46:57September 12th, he's rescued by the Germans,

0:46:57 > 0:47:01who set him up as head of a puppet regime - the Republic of Salo.

0:47:01 > 0:47:02Fascinating.

0:47:03 > 0:47:07- You don't like history, Gerry? - I'm a bit busy just now.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10You'll be even busier in a minute.

0:47:10 > 0:47:15The Italian Army wasn't at Anzio - not that Italian army anyway.

0:47:25 > 0:47:32- Alberto, is your father not here? - No. Why?- We need to speak to him.

0:47:32 > 0:47:36He went out after you left earlier on. What about?

0:47:36 > 0:47:40He's from Livorno, am I right? Does he go back there?

0:47:42 > 0:47:46No. His father died during the war and his mum just after.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48He said there was nothing to go back for.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51Your father had two older brothers. He never tell you?

0:47:52 > 0:47:56They were members of a group of partisans

0:47:56 > 0:47:58executed on a farm near Livorno, in September '44.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03No. Where d'you get that from?

0:48:03 > 0:48:06They were killed by Fascist militiamen, their own countrymen.

0:48:06 > 0:48:09Afterwards, their bodies were thrown down a well.

0:48:10 > 0:48:13Your father was at home with his mother. He was 13.

0:48:14 > 0:48:16No. Papa never had any brothers.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18I know he didn't, what are you on about?

0:48:18 > 0:48:20You say that he went out just after we left?

0:48:21 > 0:48:22But you don't know where?

0:48:37 > 0:48:40Hang on, Alberto, hang on! Take is easy.

0:48:40 > 0:48:42It's all right, you can see your dad dater.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44Just stay with us a minute, OK? Take it easy.

0:49:00 > 0:49:05I had some of your wine, Massimo. It's really excellent.

0:49:05 > 0:49:11Yes. Not many people even try to make red wine in this country.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14Certainly not 25 years ago.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17No, but we look at the soil at the right place.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20Bright, hot in summer.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24Alessandro, he finds someone who brings the vines all the way

0:49:24 > 0:49:25back from Italy.

0:49:26 > 0:49:30When did you first find out that he had been a committed Fascist?

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Not until the day I killed him.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41Until that day he is my friend.

0:49:41 > 0:49:44Massimo, I must warn you

0:49:44 > 0:49:47that if you are admitting that you killed Alessandro Manzini...

0:49:47 > 0:49:50I like you. I watch you.

0:49:50 > 0:49:54Clever. Always at work like Montalbano.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59Then when you come to ask about the allotment, I know.

0:50:00 > 0:50:01I know you are near.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06More than 30 years we are friends, Alessandro and I.

0:50:08 > 0:50:11Our children played together, grow up together.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16In all this time we hardly speak about the past.

0:50:16 > 0:50:20The Italy of the past is a country of sadness.

0:50:20 > 0:50:21Until...

0:50:23 > 0:50:28One day in winter I drink last year's wine.

0:50:28 > 0:50:31And I realise that the new wine Alessandro

0:50:31 > 0:50:34and I make will now be ready.

0:50:34 > 0:50:38So, I go back to the allotment where I find Alessandro.

0:50:39 > 0:50:41And we try the wine.

0:50:43 > 0:50:47And it is the best wine we ever make.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52'So we drink more.

0:50:52 > 0:50:56'More and more.

0:50:56 > 0:51:01'Until we are drunk. Very drunk.'

0:51:03 > 0:51:05'And Alessandro begins to sing.'

0:51:05 > 0:51:09# Giovinezza, giovinezza... #

0:51:09 > 0:51:11'Giovinezza.'

0:51:12 > 0:51:15"Youth."

0:51:15 > 0:51:17The Italian fascist anthem.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20# Primavera di bellezza... #

0:51:20 > 0:51:24'I grab him. Ask him how can he sing this song?!

0:51:24 > 0:51:27'He says, "It is a fine song. A great song!"'

0:51:27 > 0:51:30- E una grande canzone! - E una grande canzone?!- Si!

0:51:30 > 0:51:36'I say it is the song of the people who killed my father and brothers.

0:51:36 > 0:51:39'Luca and Giovani. Partisans.'

0:51:39 > 0:51:43Alessandro stares, cold suddenly,

0:51:43 > 0:51:47and he says, "In which case they deserved to die."

0:52:20 > 0:52:21He dies like a pig.

0:52:24 > 0:52:26After...

0:52:26 > 0:52:27A testa in giu...

0:52:30 > 0:52:33- Come un corpo in un pozzo.- Si.

0:52:33 > 0:52:35I put him upside-down.

0:52:36 > 0:52:37Like a body in a well.

0:52:39 > 0:52:42You stuck the knife in his throat to shut him up

0:52:42 > 0:52:44and buried it in Dicky Smith's allotment.

0:52:44 > 0:52:50Dicky Smith always talks about us. He thinks we don't hear.

0:52:50 > 0:52:54Italians are "cowards, worthless, hopeless".

0:52:54 > 0:52:57He knows nothing about my family.

0:52:57 > 0:53:01About how many Italians give their lives fighting Fascists.

0:53:03 > 0:53:06But then the ground freezes. No-one can dig.

0:53:08 > 0:53:10Even the police give up.

0:53:10 > 0:53:15And I think, "What does it matter?"

0:53:29 > 0:53:31He's been cautioned but, to be honest,

0:53:31 > 0:53:34he seems pretty fatalistic about what's going to happen to him.

0:53:34 > 0:53:36- And he's...how old?- 82.

0:53:38 > 0:53:42- Is he terminally ill? - His son says he's strong as an ox.

0:53:42 > 0:53:44So, all this time nobody knew or said anything?

0:53:46 > 0:53:48Well, you've certainly hit the ground running.

0:53:48 > 0:53:51How long did it take you to crack this - four days?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53Three. Not me.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56- I just tagged along and let them get on with it.- Nice work.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00For God's sake, don't tell them but I admire them.

0:54:02 > 0:54:07- So, you decided not to stay for the last day, sir?- What?

0:54:07 > 0:54:09The ACPO conference?

0:54:09 > 0:54:13Oh, no. Hardly anyone did. Two nights in Birmingham? God forbid.

0:54:14 > 0:54:16Welcome aboard.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28- What did he say? - What did you say?

0:54:28 > 0:54:30I said I just let you get on with it.

0:54:30 > 0:54:34And he said well done. And that he admired you.

0:54:34 > 0:54:36He's a bloody liar.

0:54:36 > 0:54:37He's a DAC.

0:54:39 > 0:54:43- And you speak Italian.- I try to. - You never said.

0:54:43 > 0:54:49- Non si devono scoprire le carte tutte in una volta.- Pardon?

0:54:49 > 0:54:52You never show all your hand at once. Do you?

0:55:00 > 0:55:02Come on.

0:55:31 > 0:55:35Hi. DCI Miller, Metropolitan Police Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.

0:55:35 > 0:55:38I have reason to believe that a crime is being committed in one of your guest rooms.

0:55:38 > 0:55:41No, it's OK, stay calm.

0:55:41 > 0:55:43I just need to look at your room list.

0:55:50 > 0:55:53Thank you. Could I have a room master key, please?

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Darling.

0:56:56 > 0:56:58Sasha!

0:56:58 > 0:57:00You're not wearing your uniform.

0:57:05 > 0:57:09I can see you're busy. I'll see myself out.

0:57:12 > 0:57:14Sash...

0:57:14 > 0:57:16Oh, shit...
