0:00:02 > 0:00:04You must go slowly at first,

0:00:04 > 0:00:08and gradually, you can increase the speed.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12You need to keep going until it's, erm, stiff.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21Voila. Firm to the touch, like this, is perfect.

0:00:22 > 0:00:23Mmm.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Mmm!

0:00:26 > 0:00:27STIRRING CONTINUES

0:00:36 > 0:00:37Tres bien.

0:00:39 > 0:00:40C'est chouette, Gerry.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Sorry?- I said it's very good.

0:00:44 > 0:00:45Oh. Thank you.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50But you know, French food isn't just about cooking the ingredients in the right order.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52It's about a lot more than that.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Is it?

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Yes. It's about France itself.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01It's about the passion, the culture, the language.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03This you must remember.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh, right. I will. Yeah, thank you.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11She's right. You have to immerse yourself in the whole experience.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14How much French do you speak?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Va-va-voom.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21# It's all right It's OK

0:01:21 > 0:01:24# Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey

0:01:24 > 0:01:27# It's all right I say, it's OK

0:01:27 > 0:01:30# Listen to what I say

0:01:30 > 0:01:32# It's all right Doing fine

0:01:32 > 0:01:35# Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine

0:01:35 > 0:01:38# It's all right I say, it's OK

0:01:38 > 0:01:40# We're getting to the end of the day. #

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh, thank you.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48The victim was male, probably between 25 to 30 years old.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51The body was found on farmland outside Waltham Forest

0:01:51 > 0:01:52in February '96.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Guv'nor?- Erm, no, thanks.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57- They're delicious!- Go on!

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Oh, all right. Thank you.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05The autopsy showed marks on several bones,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08indicating that the possible cause of death was stabbing

0:02:08 > 0:02:11and the body had been tied to a wooden cross,

0:02:11 > 0:02:13with the arms outstretched like that.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Like a crucifixion without the nails.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Was there a religious connection?

0:02:18 > 0:02:22They never found one but the body was so badly burnt they couldn't get a formal ID.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23HE COUGHS

0:02:23 > 0:02:25What's up, too much sugar?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27No, very nice.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Did the original investigation come up with anything? - Barely out of the blocks.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35They did find one witness, though, who claimed to see some sort of flashing light,

0:02:35 > 0:02:39- probably somebody moving around with a torch. - What about Missing Persons?

0:02:39 > 0:02:42They checked against all reports and got nowhere.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44- The case was cold from day one. - Until now?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Until now. Forensics have managed to retrieve a DNA profile

0:02:48 > 0:02:49from the remains.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Do we have a name?

0:02:50 > 0:02:54No, but we have a close relative and she's on the police exclusion database.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56- She's one of us?- Not quite.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00She's a fingerprint analyst at the Greater London Forensic Service.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Her name's Anna King.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Here she is.- Thank you.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Hi, I'm Anna King.- Detective Superintendent Pullman from the Unsolved Crime And Open Case Squad.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14My colleague Jack Halford.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19- I'm sorry, you'll have to remind me. Which case is this about?- It's not actually about one of your cases.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23- I don't understand.- Is there somewhere we could talk privately?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Um... Yeah.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32The DNA was matched to me?

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Yeah, it was what was called a familial match.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38But then you'd know more about how that works than we do.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Erm, DNA's not my area of expertise.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43According to the information given to us,

0:03:43 > 0:03:46the victim was a close male relative of yours.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'm originally from Albania. I was adopted when I was seven.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Well, obviously it would be a member of your biological family.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Your father, perhaps an uncle...?

0:03:58 > 0:04:01- A brother.- You have a brother?

0:04:01 > 0:04:04He was the one who brought me to this country. His name's David.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06David Celaj.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08And what else can you tell us about him?

0:04:08 > 0:04:12I don't know much but my parents might be able to help.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14According to immigration records,

0:04:14 > 0:04:19David Celaj and his sister came to the UK in September 1992.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22They were granted political asylum.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Anna told us she was put up for adoption and never saw him again.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28And four years later, he was dead.

0:04:28 > 0:04:29OK, you and Jack check our system

0:04:29 > 0:04:32and see if he was ever arrested during that time.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34We know he's not on the DNA database,

0:04:34 > 0:04:37but I suppose he could have been convicted of something before '95.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Hmm. Brian, you can come with me. - Where are we going?

0:04:40 > 0:04:42To see Anna King's adopted parents.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44It's snowing.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45So?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47It's lovely and warm in here!

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Rather them than me, in this bloody weather.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05- It's brass monkeys, isn't it? - Excuse me?

0:05:06 > 0:05:11- We're looking for Alan and Rachel King.- Missy Lee.- Sorry?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Missy Lee, it's the name of the boat they're on.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17- It looks like they're third at the moment.- How long will they be?

0:05:17 > 0:05:22They've got another beat after this one, a reach down to the second mark and then a run for home.

0:05:22 > 0:05:23I guess about 40 minutes.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Oh, thanks.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Fancy a cup of tea?- Yeah.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37We lost it at the gybe mark. They went straight past while we were faffing with the spinnaker.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42- The pole was caught, I couldn't release it.- They went through like we weren't there!

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Mr and Mrs King?- Yes?

0:05:45 > 0:05:50Detective Superintendent Pullman. This is my colleague Brian Lane.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Are you sure it was Anna's brother? Are you sure it was?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- We believe so, yes. - Did you know David at all?

0:05:57 > 0:05:58No, we never met him.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01We were given a little family history before the adoption,

0:06:01 > 0:06:08- but that's all.- What were you told? - That he was some kind of student activist, democracy protester.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11He fled Albania with Anna and they were granted asylum.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16He was in no position to look after her, and apparently he was 21.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18He was still a boy himself.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21He put her up for adoption, and we were the lucky ones.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25That must have been a challenge, adopting a seven-year-old from a different country.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28She's been nothing but a joy to us both.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Oh, I'm sure but...

0:06:30 > 0:06:31We weren't totally in the dark.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35We'd travelled in Eastern Europe a little. We'd even been to Albania.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Interesting choice for a holiday!

0:06:37 > 0:06:41It wasn't that. It was with a church group - Christ Under Communism -

0:06:41 > 0:06:44handing out bibles, helping people to continue to worship.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49- The point is, we knew what sort of place she'd come from. - And what sort of place was it?

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Chaos, really. The collapse of communism in the cities

0:06:53 > 0:06:56and a countryside that hadn't seen any change for 100 years.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01It was like going back in time, horse and cart, that sort of thing. It was medieval.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Has Anna ever been back?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06No, she never wanted to,

0:07:06 > 0:07:10and none of us have ever had any contact with her family.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Look, I'm sorry that we can't be of any more help.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- OK, thank you.- Bye-bye.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32- Say hello to David Celaj. - It was taken in '95.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33Where did you get it?

0:07:33 > 0:07:36We found his name on the system, along with his ID photograph.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- What?- It seems that working for the police ran in the family.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43- What, he was a copper? - No, he was a freelance interpreter - he worked on several cases.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46The last of which was January '96.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Which has got to make you think.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51- That's just a month before he was killed.- What was the case?

0:07:51 > 0:07:54The murder of a man called Justin Hayman,

0:07:54 > 0:07:56but the case collapsed before it got to court.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59The SIO was DCI Cranagh.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01- Daniel Cranagh? - That's the one, yeah.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Retired now, I've tracked him down. He works for a bank.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Thanks for seeing us. - Oh, my pleasure.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Mr Cranagh, when you said you said you worked in a bank...

0:08:18 > 0:08:22You thought I'd be wearing a cheap uniform, sat at the front desk?

0:08:22 > 0:08:23Something like that, yeah.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28People here like having an ex-copper in charge of the security.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35It's like having a Lord on the letterhead, you know. Please.

0:08:35 > 0:08:37So what can you tell us about the Justin Hayman case?

0:08:37 > 0:08:40It was the one that got away. You know how that is.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43You wake up wondering if you could have done something different.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50He was a businessman, shopkeeper, he had several convenience stores.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54He was attacked locking up one evening and never regained consciousness.

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Was it a robbery?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58In a manner of speaking. As far as we could tell,

0:08:58 > 0:09:03there'd been several attacks on his premises during the previous few months.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Windows broken, an attempt to set fire to one of the shops.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Sounds like a campaign. - That's because it was.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12A protection racket, you paid up, or you got hurt.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14And Hayman wouldn't pay?

0:09:14 > 0:09:18His wife told me he wasn't that kind of guy.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21He, er, he wouldn't be bullied whatever the consequences,

0:09:21 > 0:09:26and in this case the consequences were a man called Michael Luga.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Yeah, tell us about him.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32He was a two-bit piece of muscle working for an Albanian gang,

0:09:32 > 0:09:33the ones running the racket.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37And this Michael Luga was always your prime suspect?

0:09:37 > 0:09:39A lot more than that - he was arrested and charged.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42We had a witness who saw the whole thing and identified him.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46- This witness was Albanian too, huh? - That's right.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48A woman, I don't remember her name.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51She spoke some English but we wanted to get all the details right,

0:09:51 > 0:09:55so a couple of days later we called in an interpreter.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Which was David Celaj.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03I wouldn't have remembered his name either, but yeah, he looks familiar.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04It was all academic in the end,

0:10:04 > 0:10:08because once we got them together, our witness had second thoughts.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- All of sudden she couldn't be certain about what she saw. - Someone got to her?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I can't answer that question.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16You both know what witnesses are like.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19They can drop out at any stage for a hundred reasons.

0:10:19 > 0:10:20Become unsure, uncertain...

0:10:20 > 0:10:24- But you think it's possible? - It's possible.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27But before you ask, I haven't got a shred of proof to back that up.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Yeah, that's right. Michael Luga, anything you can dig up.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35OK, hang on...

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Brian's found an address for David Celaj.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Oh, good boy.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Whoa, wait a minute, I've got to find a pen.- There's one in here...

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Hang on, you're going to have to say that again.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48OK, go ahead.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Yeah.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Great. Right, we'll see you later. Thanks, bye.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Apparently, he was renting a room in Hackney,

0:10:57 > 0:10:59and the landlady's still living there.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01I wonder if she remembers him.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03You're learning French?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Oh, no, not really. It's just my cookery teacher.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09She says I should immerse myself in everything French.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Oh, yeah, how's it going?- Merde.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18Oh, I've been renting rooms out since my husband died.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21The truth is, I like the company more than I need the money.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24I don't like rattling around this great house on my own.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27It's nice to have someone else around.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30How long was David Celaj living here?

0:11:30 > 0:11:36Um...almost two years, and he never gave me a single problem in all that time.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39He even paid me for an extra month when he left.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42What about visitors? Did anyone come when he was staying here?

0:11:42 > 0:11:46- Women, you mean?- Or men, Mrs Marks, if that was the case. Anyone at all?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Well, I wouldn't have minded either way, but no.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53No, no-one ever came here. Well, that I knew about.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56I don't suppose he told you where he was going

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- or left a forwarding address? - No, no, nothing like that.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01OK, Mrs Marks. Thank you for your help.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Um, he did leave a few things here.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09I think I kept them in case he came back.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- If you're interested... - Yes, please, thank you.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well, I must still have them somewhere.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'll make you a nice cup of tea.

0:12:17 > 0:12:21Yes, I'll find them. There we are, come through.

0:12:21 > 0:12:26There's nothing on Luga since the Hayman case in 1996.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Not even a speeding ticket.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Are you coming up blank an' all?

0:12:32 > 0:12:35I wouldn't exactly say that.

0:12:38 > 0:12:43- These are just a few bits and pieces I found when I cleared out the room. - Ah. May I?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Mmm. I didn't like to throw them out.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Would you want more tea?

0:12:48 > 0:12:49No, no, thank you. I'm fine.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53Do you remember anything else about the day he left?

0:12:53 > 0:12:54I've got an envelope here.

0:12:56 > 0:13:01- Postmarked two days before he died.- Oh.

0:13:01 > 0:13:06- Well, he got that on the last morning. The last morning he was here.- How do you know?

0:13:06 > 0:13:09I remember him reading it. He was having his breakfast.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Did he say who it was from?

0:13:10 > 0:13:14No, he didn't say anything about that. Nothing at all.

0:13:14 > 0:13:20Just got up, said he was leaving and gave me a cheque.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23He didn't even finish his eggs.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27This Luga seems to have his fingers in all sorts of pies.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31Reconditioned guns, counterfeit clothing, drugs, prostitution...

0:13:31 > 0:13:33But nothing's ever been proved.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Well, Albanian gangs are traditionally organised along family and clan lines.

0:13:38 > 0:13:44They take an oath of allegiance, and the members almost never talk about what goes on.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46He seems more than capable of murder, though.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Oh, he is, capable of anything.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Yeah, but Luga walked free and David wasn't a witness,

0:13:51 > 0:13:52he was just an interpreter.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56- He had no motive to kill him. - At least no obvious one.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01What about the envelope?

0:14:01 > 0:14:05His landlady said that he received it on the last day she saw him.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09He didn't talk about the letter, but she said something distracted him.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11There was something in the letter that worried him.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15It's postmarked central London, but that doesn't tell us who sent it,

0:14:15 > 0:14:17but we can have the stamp tested for DNA.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19I'll get it picked up.

0:14:19 > 0:14:20No, drop it off.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23I don't want it getting stuck in the system.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Brian, you and I can go and talk to the witness in the Luga case.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Excuse me?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32We're looking for Maria Mullat.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34You can stop. I mean, you've found her.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Right. Detective Superintendent Pullman, this is Brian Lane.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40We'd like to ask a couple of questions.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42What about? I'm very busy...

0:14:42 > 0:14:45It's all right, it won't take long.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48That won't be necessary. The boss would be me.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52I run an employment agency supplying workers to this farm

0:14:52 > 0:14:56- and others in the area. - It's very impressive.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59I employ 42 people and I've built it from scratch.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I had nothing when I arrived in this country.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04And when was that, exactly?

0:15:04 > 0:15:06October 1995.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09A few months before Justin Hayman was killed.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14- I suppose so, I don't really... - You do remember Justin Hayman?

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Of course, but it happened a long time ago,

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- it's hard to remember all the details.- Well, you're lucky.

0:15:19 > 0:15:23A lot of people who witness a murder can't get it out of their heads.

0:15:23 > 0:15:28I didn't know that's what it was. It was more just a...

0:15:28 > 0:15:29A scuffle.

0:15:29 > 0:15:34Your English is excellent. But back then, you needed an interpreter.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37Now, his name was David Celaj.

0:15:37 > 0:15:39I suppose so.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42He was killed not long after the case collapsed,

0:15:42 > 0:15:45and we were wondering if the two events were somehow connected.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47I don't understand how.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Well, you changed your mind, Ms Mullat.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52You identified a suspect, and then you changed your mind.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55I just wasn't certain.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57It happened so quickly, I couldn't be sure.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Yet, apparently, you were certain when you first spoke to the police.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04And you identified Michael Luga from a line-up.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06I felt I had to pick someone.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08I felt under pressure.

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Were you threatened?

0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I'm sorry?- I don't mean by the police.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17Yeah, did someone else threaten you? You know, tell you to change your story?

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Of course not.- Well, it wouldn't be the first time it's happened.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Well, it didn't happen to me.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25I just couldn't be sure, that's all.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28I just couldn't be sure it was the same man.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Maria, telephone for you.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34I have to deal with this.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm sorry, I can't help you.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Can't or won't?

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Hmm. Take your pick.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48You don't think you could rush this through for us, could you?

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- We'd be grateful. - Do you know how many people say that?- One or two, I imagine.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54I'll see what we can do.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Thank you very much.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- Anna!- Oh, hello.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Anna King, this is a colleague of mine, Gerry Standing.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Whoa! Don't shoot.- It's not loaded, I'm checking it for prints.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Are you looking for me?- No, we were just dropping something off.

0:17:08 > 0:17:13- To do with my brother's death? - Er...yes, that's right.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Can we have a word in my office?

0:17:16 > 0:17:17Yeah, sure.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23What have you found out?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25We're still just scratching the surface.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27We do know that he was an interpreter for the police,

0:17:27 > 0:17:32so it's possible his death might have had something to do with one of the cases he was involved in.

0:17:32 > 0:17:37That's not what I meant. I meant about him, about what he was like.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39We'd never really talked about David, you see.

0:17:39 > 0:17:43My parents never spoke about him, and I didn't feel comfortable asking.

0:17:43 > 0:17:47But now with all this, I'd like to try and find out more.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49It probably doesn't make much sense.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52It makes perfect sense. We all want to know where we come from.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- So what was he like?- Well, we can't tell you much at the moment.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I do have a photograph of him.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05- You OK?- Yep.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Can I keep this?- Of course.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11We'll let you know if we find anything...concrete, OK?

0:18:22 > 0:18:24She must be in pieces.

0:18:24 > 0:18:29Not only did we remind her of a brother she'd almost forgotten, but we told her he'd been murdered.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Yeah, poor girl. - Why are we stopping?- Two minutes.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40I've got to get some oursinade.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Oursin...what?

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Yeah, it's a... it's a paste of sea urchin.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48It's the perfect base for a decent bouillabaisse.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Is it?- Yep!- Right.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54One minute, 30 seconds.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00THEY CHAT IN FRENCH

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Gerry!

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Bonjour!- What are you doing here?

0:19:08 > 0:19:12Well, I just...I want...er... cherche la oursinade.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14Vous faites une bouillabaisse?

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Oui, oui. Les fruits de mer.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20A policeman who cooks and now speaks some French.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- I should take you home and introduce you to my mother.- Ooh.- Bonjour.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Bonjour.- Ah, pardon.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Mon ami, Jack Halford. Genevieve.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Enchante, madame.- Mademoiselle.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Pardonnez-moi.- C'est pas grave.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40THEY CONTINUE TO SPEAK IN FRENCH

0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Very nice to meet you.- You too.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Oh, just...- Ah! Un cadeau.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Sorry?- Present.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Oh. Merci.- See you next week, Gerry.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01Absolument. SHE CHUCKLES

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Au revoir.- Au revoir.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Didn't know you spoke French. - I'm full of surprises, me.

0:20:07 > 0:20:08As are you, apparently.

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Of all the stalls in all the world...

0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Eh?- Never mind.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15- So what do you think?- What about?

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Genevieve!- Absolutely charming.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Wants to take me home and meet her mum.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Polite as well.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- I think I might ask her out.- Why not?

0:20:24 > 0:20:27An attractive, stylish, sophisticated French woman, and you -

0:20:27 > 0:20:29why on earth would that go wrong?

0:20:29 > 0:20:31Exactly.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34This is all the evidence from the Hayman case.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38If Mullat was got at, we need to find some indication of it in here.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42We're hardly likely to get it from Luga.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Always the optimist, eh, Gerry?

0:21:00 > 0:21:03'How did Cranagh describe him?'

0:21:03 > 0:21:06- A two-bit piece of muscle. - Well, he's certainly not that now.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Michael Luga. - Detective Superintendent Pullman.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Jack Halford. We were just admiring your house.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16It's not usually this crowded - we're preparing for my daughter's wedding.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Oh, then it'll be even more crowded.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21We're going to hire a river boat for the reception.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Congratulations. - LUGA CHUCKLES

0:21:24 > 0:21:29I disapprove of her choice, but...she doesn't listen to me.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31That must be a strange feeling for you.

0:21:33 > 0:21:38We're aware that people do listen to you, Mr Luga, particularly among the Albanian community.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41It's true that I have a certain standing.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44A reputation would be closer to the mark.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47For violence, extortion, that kind of thing.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Wherever you heard that, it has been misreported.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'm a legitimate businessman.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58Then you won't mind answering a few questions. We'll start with David Celaj.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I've never heard of him.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03What about Justin Hayman?

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Surely you remember him, Mr Luga? You were arrested and charged with his murder.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10I was falsely accused. There was no evidence.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12There was not even a trial.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15And I'm busy, so if you'll excuse me...

0:22:15 > 0:22:21We can do this here, Mr Luga, or we can do it in an interview room under caution, but we are going to do it.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24I don't even know this man, Celaj.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26What's he got to do with me?

0:22:26 > 0:22:28He was an interpreter.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31And a couple of weeks after the case against you collapsed,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34his body was found tied to a cross in a forest.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36That mean anything to you?

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Nothing at all.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41This is as close to the countryside as I ever get.

0:22:45 > 0:22:49The whole case rested on Mullat being a witness.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Beyond that, it was all just supposition and theory.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55But we still don't know why she changed her mind. Come on.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Look, this is her witness statement, right?

0:22:58 > 0:23:04Well, well, that's in Albanian, and this is the English translation.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06I can't see anything.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Maybe she was just unsure.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10You believe that?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12No, not really.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15But it's doing my head in. I need a break. Here.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16You have a look.

0:23:28 > 0:23:34Ah, bonjour, it's Gerry, Gerry Standing.

0:23:34 > 0:23:39Oui, je...je... cuirai la bouillabaisse.

0:23:39 > 0:23:40La mer, oui.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Um...

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Dinner avec moi...

0:23:45 > 0:23:47ce soir?

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Oh, bien, bien.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Le dress? Um...nothing special. Casuelle?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55Oh, my address?

0:23:55 > 0:23:57HE LAUGHS My address, I beg your pardon.

0:23:57 > 0:23:58Yeah, er...

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Here you go. DOG BARKS

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Hang on.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06Scampi! Hello, where have you been?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Brian!- Oh, just a minute.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Right.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- There you are.- What's this?

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Our holiday.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20I thought we'd agreed cycling in Devon?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23You agreed to that.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27I thought we might go somewhere a little more exotic.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Thailand?- China.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33It's really fascinating.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41FRENCH MUSIC PLAYS

0:24:44 > 0:24:45Mmm!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52DOORBELL RINGS

0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Bon soir, je suis Felicite.- Sorry?

0:25:05 > 0:25:08La mere de Genevieve.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Um... Genevieve's mother.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13You must be Gerry.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes, yes, I'm Gerry.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19Er... Well...lovely to meet you.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Enchante.- Would you like to go up? The kitchen and the lounge are upstairs.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Ah, thank you.

0:25:25 > 0:25:26Mmm, that smells delicious.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Oh, good.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Oh, a rose.

0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Oh, merci.- It should be perfect.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37You are cooking bouillabaisse?

0:25:37 > 0:25:40Oui, oui. Bouillabaisse.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Les fruits de mer.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45HE CHUCKLES Mer.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Morning, all.- Morning.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50Nice cappuccino for the guv'nor.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54- What's got into you? - Black for Brian.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56- You had a win?- I'm saying nothing.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Genevieve, perhaps?

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Who's Genevieve? - His cookery teacher.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Well, if you really want to know, it was...er...

0:26:03 > 0:26:06actually her mother.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Her mother?- Yeah, there was a bit of mix-up with the French word for "sea".

0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Oh, a homonym.- She's not!

0:26:12 > 0:26:17"Mere" in French means "mother". It also means "sea", as in fruits de mer.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19You got the wrong mer!

0:26:19 > 0:26:21ALL CHUCKLE

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Maybe that's what's going on here. A homonym.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26What?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29I'm having trouble with Mullat's retraction statement.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33It's in English and in Albanian, but there are bits that just don't add up.

0:26:33 > 0:26:38- In what way?- Well, like this word -

0:26:38 > 0:26:40"ndihmoj".

0:26:40 > 0:26:45Now, it appears at the end of two different sentences

0:26:45 > 0:26:50and Celaj translates it in the first instance as "shop",

0:26:50 > 0:26:54and then, secondly, he reckons it means "break".

0:26:54 > 0:26:57So it must be...

0:26:57 > 0:26:59LAPTOP KEYS CLATTER

0:27:01 > 0:27:04- ..Neither. It says here it means "help".- Help?

0:27:04 > 0:27:06Help.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09But "help" doesn't appear anywhere in the statement.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10So the translation's wrong?

0:27:10 > 0:27:17Well, it must be. Seems like they're having a different conversation from what's in here. "Help"?

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Maybe Mullat told David she was being threatened by Luga.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25David didn't like it, decided to confront him.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28And this gives us our solid motive.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31Well, you better go and have a word with her.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34Mrs Mullat?

0:27:34 > 0:27:36What now?

0:27:36 > 0:27:37We have to talk.

0:27:37 > 0:27:41- I don't want to get involved in this.- It's too late for that, you're already involved.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43I don't have anything to say.

0:27:43 > 0:27:47It wasn't your memory that failed, it was your nerve.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Now, nobody's blaming you for that,

0:27:49 > 0:27:51but we need to know exactly what happened.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54- It was made clear to me.- What was?

0:27:54 > 0:27:56That it would be better to forget what I saw.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58Or what?

0:27:58 > 0:28:00I didn't ask for details.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02I didn't have to.

0:28:02 > 0:28:04It was made very clear.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07Did you tell David that you were being threatened?

0:28:07 > 0:28:10- No.- Look, this could be important, are you sure?

0:28:10 > 0:28:12I'm absolutely positive.

0:28:12 > 0:28:16David Celaj was the one threatening me.

0:28:20 > 0:28:23He was inside the police station, he was working for us.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27And now it looks as though he was working for Luga as well.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29No wonder she was frightened.

0:28:29 > 0:28:34The man was a democracy campaigner, he was over here for a better life, and now suddenly he's a criminal?

0:28:34 > 0:28:38Maybe he was threatened as well, maybe he was forced into it.

0:28:38 > 0:28:42Yeah, and threatened to fight back and tell the police what had happened.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Pint?- Not half.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50Fresh air in our lungs.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Lactic acid in our legs.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Lunches in country pubs.

0:28:56 > 0:29:01Or we could have three days in Beijing and a trip down the Yangtze.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04What, stuck on a boat?

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Maybe take a sleeper.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Oh!

0:29:15 > 0:29:18The Great Wall,

0:29:18 > 0:29:19the Forbidden City...

0:29:21 > 0:29:24..Tiananmen Square...

0:29:24 > 0:29:26What will I eat?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28You like Chinese food.

0:29:28 > 0:29:29I like it delivered.

0:29:29 > 0:29:31And not for breakfast.

0:29:31 > 0:29:38"Experience the contrasts of China, from bustling cosmopolitan Shanghai

0:29:38 > 0:29:41"to the vast rural areas where human scarecrows

0:29:41 > 0:29:44"used to be employed to protect the crops..."

0:29:44 > 0:29:47I could take some cereal, I suppose.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49And tins of beans.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Although they'd be heavier.

0:29:51 > 0:29:55"Enjoy the Wild Goose Pagoda in Xian.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57"Spend a day visiting the Terracotta Army."

0:29:57 > 0:30:00- What did you just say? - A day visiting the Terracotta Army.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04No, the bit before that, something about the scarecrows.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08We've been looking at David's body but we haven't been seeing it.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- It's right there, Brian. - Exactly. Look.

0:30:14 > 0:30:18Tied to a cross, on farmland, he was posed.

0:30:18 > 0:30:22Now, we've talked about religion, we've talked about crucifixion

0:30:22 > 0:30:24but nobody's mentioned scarecrows.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27Scarecrows?

0:30:27 > 0:30:29Yes, look.

0:30:29 > 0:30:34In China, historically, the lowest in society had to do the most menial jobs, obviously.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37But the worst amongst those was the human scarecrow.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39Human scarecrow?

0:30:39 > 0:30:44I reckon posing David like that could have been the ultimate insult.

0:30:44 > 0:30:45Like spitting on a corpse.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50It's an interesting theory, Brian,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53but there's at least one rather big flaw in it.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Like the fact that he wasn't Chinese.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59Oh, that doesn't matter. Well... yeah, it does, but...

0:30:59 > 0:31:01it didn't just happen in China.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04This got me thinking so I looked it up.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06Now it seems this was a tradition in India,

0:31:06 > 0:31:09in lots of other countries in south-east Asia

0:31:09 > 0:31:11and in parts of Eastern Europe.

0:31:11 > 0:31:12Including Albania?

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Including Albania and it's been going on for centuries.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18If that is the reason he was tied to the cross,

0:31:18 > 0:31:20it brings us straight back to Luga.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22So we're right back at the beginning.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25We need to look at everything about how that body was found

0:31:25 > 0:31:27in order to prove Brian's theory. PHONE RINGS

0:31:27 > 0:31:29You and your theories.

0:31:29 > 0:31:30It's a good theory.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Mind you, it'd be a good job for you.

0:31:32 > 0:31:33Why?

0:31:33 > 0:31:35You've got all the gear for it, haven't you?

0:31:35 > 0:31:38If I was in sackcloth I'd be twice the man you are.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40You'd frighten all the birds away!

0:31:40 > 0:31:41Thank you.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46Or alternatively find a completely different one.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49- What?- We've had a hit on the DNA from the stamp.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51The name is Keith Weston.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53Who the hell's Keith Weston?

0:31:53 > 0:31:55Let me know when you find out.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56He's dead?

0:31:56 > 0:31:58And a long time buried.

0:31:58 > 0:32:02Weston died in April 2005 of natural causes.

0:32:02 > 0:32:04He was a petty criminal,

0:32:04 > 0:32:06in and out of jail for the best part of 30 years.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09Burglary, mostly, armed robbery when he was young,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11a couple of convictions for receiving.

0:32:11 > 0:32:13Any connection to David Celaj?

0:32:13 > 0:32:14Nothing we know of.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17No connection with any gang, Albanian or otherwise.

0:32:17 > 0:32:19Come on, there must be something else.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21There is a widow.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24Oi, get down, Leon.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28I said get down, bloody get down! Right now, or I'll pull you down head-first.

0:32:30 > 0:32:31Mrs Weston?

0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Who's asking? - I'll take that as a yes.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37Detective Superintendent Pullman, Gerry Standing.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40He's my grandson, I was only joking about head-first.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43- I'm sure you were. - We need to talk to you about Keith.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47He's been dead six years and you lot are still hassling him?

0:32:47 > 0:32:49Just a couple of questions, won't take long.

0:32:49 > 0:32:50What are you staring at?

0:32:53 > 0:32:57Whatever it is, I don't want the whole street knowing. You'd better come inside.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00What did you say his name was?

0:33:00 > 0:33:03David, David Celaj.

0:33:03 > 0:33:08No. Never seen him before. I don't know everything Keith did.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11I didn't ask and he didn't tell me.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14The truth is I usually only found out when there was a knock

0:33:14 > 0:33:17on the door but it worked better that way for both of us.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20He never talked about meeting a young Albanian bloke?

0:33:20 > 0:33:22If he did, I don't remember it.

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Although my memory's not what it was, to be honest.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27We just want a straight answer, Mrs Weston.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31Straight? Whatever I say, you'll twist it to suit,

0:33:31 > 0:33:32make it fit what you already think.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34I promise you that won't happen

0:33:34 > 0:33:37but I do need you to take another look at the photo.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41I don't recognise him, I never saw him with Keith.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45But Celaj's a very unusual name, you sure he never mentioned it?

0:33:45 > 0:33:49He never mentioned it to me, that's all I can tell you.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52If you're so sure this David bloke knew Keith,

0:33:52 > 0:33:54why don't you go and ask him?

0:33:54 > 0:33:56We'd love to, only this "David bloke" is dead.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00- He was murdered in February '96. - And you think Keith...?

0:34:00 > 0:34:03We have reason to believe Keith was in contact before he was killed, yeah.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Contact?

0:34:06 > 0:34:07What kind of contact?

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Well, to tell you the truth we don't really know.

0:34:10 > 0:34:12'96?

0:34:12 > 0:34:15That's right.

0:34:15 > 0:34:16February?

0:34:16 > 0:34:18That's what we said.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20(LAUGHS)

0:34:20 > 0:34:22What's so funny?

0:34:22 > 0:34:24Keith couldn't have had anything to do with it.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29Not unless that bloke was killed in the Nightingale Ward.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31Keith was in hospital?

0:34:32 > 0:34:36Being treated for colon cancer, it was the first time it was diagnosed.

0:34:36 > 0:34:41You don't have to believe me, you can go and check for yourselves.

0:34:41 > 0:34:43Tania Weston is telling the truth.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47Her husband was admitted to the Whittington Hospital, Archway,

0:34:47 > 0:34:51in December '95 and wasn't discharged until March '96.

0:34:51 > 0:34:55And according to this, he was in no fit state to go anywhere.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58- So he couldn't have killed David. - He could've sent the letter.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Yeah, they do have post boxes in hospitals.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Come on, we're clutching at straws here,

0:35:02 > 0:35:05there's nothing to suggest any connection

0:35:05 > 0:35:07between David Celaj and Keith Weston.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09Except Weston's DNA on the stamp.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13Maybe it was a mistake, a mix-up somewhere along the line.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16It happens. Some sort of contamination at the lab.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19No, there's been no mistake.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21We know somebody who works at the lab.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24We appreciate you coming in.

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Do you know who killed David?

0:35:28 > 0:35:29No, not yet.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34Well, you must know something otherwise I wouldn't be here.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37What have you found out?

0:35:38 > 0:35:41We know that your father was convicted of drink-driving.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46It was a mistake, just one drink too many.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50He was banned for two years but that's not what's important here.

0:35:51 > 0:35:55It was that his DNA was taken when he was arrested.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58It's in the system, Anna, and you know that.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02And then you saw us dropping off the envelope.

0:36:02 > 0:36:05And you decided to interfere.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10Now, there has to be a reason why you would do that.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12You wouldn't have swapped those DNA samples

0:36:12 > 0:36:16unless you thought that it was your father's DNA on that stamp.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Why did you think that?

0:36:18 > 0:36:21I recognised his handwriting on the envelope

0:36:21 > 0:36:23and I thought he might be involved.

0:36:27 > 0:36:32David was at my house... I mean my parents' house, with my father.

0:36:32 > 0:36:37I was only ten at the time, it must have been just before he was killed.

0:36:40 > 0:36:45The door to my father's study was open, David didn't see me, he wasn't looking.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50They were arguing, I don't know what about

0:36:50 > 0:36:52and my mother sent me upstairs,

0:36:52 > 0:36:56she shouted at me and she'd never done that before.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02When I came down again, he was gone.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05Did you ever see him again?

0:37:05 > 0:37:07No, just that time.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Just the once and my father never mentioned anything about it.

0:37:13 > 0:37:15I didn't even know it was to do with me until now.

0:37:17 > 0:37:23I'm sorry for what I did, I didn't think. I'm sorry.

0:37:25 > 0:37:27Why Keith Weston, Anna? Why did you pick him?

0:37:27 > 0:37:31He's dead, I didn't want to cause any trouble.

0:37:31 > 0:37:35Unfortunately, that particular ship has sailed.

0:37:43 > 0:37:45Where's Anna? You said she was here.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Don't worry, she's fine. - Well, can I see her?

0:37:47 > 0:37:50This isn't about Anna, it's about her brother, David.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Well, I told you, I never met him.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58In which case, perhaps you'd like to explain what he was doing at your house?

0:38:04 > 0:38:06You don't have to say anything, Mr King.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08That, of course, is your right.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10But you should know that we've been through

0:38:10 > 0:38:13the official adoption records and guess what we found?

0:38:14 > 0:38:17Nothing, nothing at all.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Because there is nothing to find, is there, Mr King?

0:38:20 > 0:38:23There was no official adoption.

0:38:23 > 0:38:27David just handed Anna over, that was the deal, wasn't it?

0:38:27 > 0:38:29Tell us what did happen, Mr King, from the top, please.

0:38:34 > 0:38:39We were in Albania, up in the north, in the province of Shkoder,

0:38:39 > 0:38:41almost on the border.

0:38:41 > 0:38:43And that was with the church group?

0:38:43 > 0:38:46Yes, there were six or seven of us, just trying to help,

0:38:46 > 0:38:49trying to give them what they needed to worship in peace.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51And that's when you met David Celaj?

0:38:51 > 0:38:55He was desperate to get away, to get out of the country.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57And you were desperate for a child.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59It wasn't me...

0:38:59 > 0:39:01it was Rachel.

0:39:01 > 0:39:03It had taken over her whole life,

0:39:03 > 0:39:07there were days when she couldn't get out of bed. It was eating her up.

0:39:07 > 0:39:10Why was David so desperate to get away?

0:39:11 > 0:39:14It was because of what's called a Gjakmarrje.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16A what?

0:39:16 > 0:39:20A blood feud, a violent dispute between families.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22What was the feud about?

0:39:22 > 0:39:24I have no idea.

0:39:24 > 0:39:27It had going on for generations, tit-for-tat killings.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31As far as I could tell, no-one knew what had originally started it.

0:39:31 > 0:39:32Who was the other family?

0:39:32 > 0:39:34I don't know, I don't know.

0:39:34 > 0:39:37Does the name Luga mean anything to you?

0:39:37 > 0:39:39No.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Why, should it?

0:39:48 > 0:39:52Look, I told you I never knew who they were. I didn't want to know.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54We just wanted Anna and to be left alone.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57There was no reason for anyone to be suspicious.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59People understood she was a refugee.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02Everyone assumed that it was official.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Once we'd got her settled in

0:40:04 > 0:40:07we just wanted to get on with our lives.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09But David was to have no contact with her

0:40:09 > 0:40:12once we got them out of the country.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14That was part of the arrangement.

0:40:14 > 0:40:16And David broke that?

0:40:16 > 0:40:18He turned up at the house out of the blue.

0:40:18 > 0:40:22- He was waiting for me when I got home from work. - What did he want?

0:40:22 > 0:40:27He said that they'd found him. He didn't say who and I never asked.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32He just said that they knew where he was.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34So he came to you for help?

0:40:34 > 0:40:37He wanted money. I gave him a few hundred pounds,

0:40:37 > 0:40:41but I didn't want him to come back so I wrote him a letter.

0:40:41 > 0:40:44I told him to stay away for Anna's sake.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48There is another possibility, of course,

0:40:48 > 0:40:51one that doesn't involve ancient family feuds

0:40:51 > 0:40:54and David being found in this country.

0:40:54 > 0:40:57Something a little closer to home.

0:40:58 > 0:40:59I didn't kill him!

0:40:59 > 0:41:02Is that what you think? You think I killed him?

0:41:02 > 0:41:04He was settled, he was making a life for himself.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Maybe he wanted Anna back.- No!

0:41:06 > 0:41:09The adoption was unofficial. You couldn't stop him taking her.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11You had to do something else.

0:41:11 > 0:41:12No. That's not what happened.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15You had to get rid of him, make sure he never came back.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17I didn't. It wasn't like that.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19- You were desperate. - Desperate enough to kill?

0:41:19 > 0:41:23I didn't do it! I didn't do anything to him!

0:41:26 > 0:41:28We'll be in touch, Mr King.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31What? You believe me?

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Didn't say that.

0:41:33 > 0:41:34What about Anna?

0:41:37 > 0:41:39What do I say to her? what do I tell my daughter?

0:41:39 > 0:41:40If you want my advice,

0:41:40 > 0:41:44I think it's about time you told her the truth.

0:41:51 > 0:41:54It'd be easier if I didn't, but I think I believe him.

0:41:54 > 0:41:58King might have been desperate enough to do something but he didn't have to.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00- Unless someone got to David first. - Somebody like Luga.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03We can't be certain of that, Jack.

0:42:03 > 0:42:07We know it must have been someone from Albania, someone who found him here.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09It fits in with the scarecrow theory.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12You know, these feuds aren't at all unusual.

0:42:12 > 0:42:16They go back generations, whole families at war.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19They've got a rule - whoever kills will be killed.

0:42:19 > 0:42:21Blood is avenged with blood.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25But why did he go to Alan King for help?

0:42:25 > 0:42:29Because King was the only person who knew the truth about why David left Albania.

0:42:29 > 0:42:32If he's had come to us then the story would have come out.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35He'd have been frightened that his asylum status would be revoked.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38So what do we do now, then?

0:42:38 > 0:42:42Well, we have to prove that Luga is part of this other family,

0:42:42 > 0:42:46so I'll put in a request upstairs and it'll go via Interpol on to the Albanian police force.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48That's going to take weeks.

0:42:48 > 0:42:49- At least.- More like months.

0:42:49 > 0:42:51It's not ideal,

0:42:51 > 0:42:53but short of someone getting on a plane,

0:42:53 > 0:42:55I don't know what else to do.

0:42:57 > 0:43:02I suppose she's right. We've just got to sit tight and be patient.

0:43:05 > 0:43:07This is really interesting -

0:43:07 > 0:43:10goes back over 3,000 years, some of these rucks.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Yeah, they've got their own book of laws,

0:43:12 > 0:43:14called the... Where are you going?

0:43:14 > 0:43:16Don't worry, I'm not getting on a plane.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19No, no, no! Wait for me.

0:43:21 > 0:43:22Hey, hang on. Hey.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36What's going on? It's not a funeral, is it?

0:43:36 > 0:43:40- He said his daughter was getting married.- What, today?

0:43:40 > 0:43:44Well, I mean, we'd better come back then, if it's her wedding day.

0:43:44 > 0:43:46In that case he should be in a good mood.

0:43:46 > 0:43:49What, with us barging in? I wouldn't bet on it.

0:43:49 > 0:43:50Come on.

0:43:55 > 0:43:58- Where is everybody? - They're on the boat.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05Shall we?

0:44:12 > 0:44:14- I'm really not sure about this. - No.

0:44:29 > 0:44:31We're trapped now.

0:44:31 > 0:44:34I've got those invitations somewhere. Did I give them to you?

0:44:34 > 0:44:36No, you didn't.

0:44:36 > 0:44:41I distinctly remember not inviting any policemen, Mr Halford.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Oh, you remember me? I'm flattered.

0:44:44 > 0:44:46These are my colleagues Mr Standing, Mr Lane.

0:44:46 > 0:44:52Unfortunately it isn't a pleasure, I'm going to ask you all to leave.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54That might be a bit tricky.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56It can be arranged.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59Besides, you don't know what we want yet.

0:44:59 > 0:45:02Turning up at my daughter's wedding uninvited

0:45:02 > 0:45:04is disrespectful to both of us.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06Well, there's no disrespect intended whatsoever,

0:45:06 > 0:45:08but we need a quick chat.

0:45:08 > 0:45:10It's an insult you being here.

0:45:10 > 0:45:11An insult, eh?

0:45:11 > 0:45:14You mean, like posing a body to look like a scarecrow?

0:45:14 > 0:45:16That's an insult, isn't it? The lowest of the low?

0:45:16 > 0:45:20- I don't know what you're talking about.- I think you do.

0:45:20 > 0:45:23You know the significance of how David Celaj was killed.

0:45:23 > 0:45:24Maybe because you killed him.

0:45:24 > 0:45:28I had nothing to do with that man's death.

0:45:28 > 0:45:30We've only got your word for that.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33This conversation is over.

0:45:33 > 0:45:34Mr Luga, Mr Luga,

0:45:34 > 0:45:39you don't want to ruin the beautiful bride's special day, do you?

0:45:39 > 0:45:41Not to mention the new in-laws.

0:45:41 > 0:45:42And your legitimate friends.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55Where is this David Celaj from?

0:45:56 > 0:45:58Which part of Albania?

0:45:58 > 0:46:00The province of Shkoder.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02HE SCOFFS

0:46:02 > 0:46:03What difference does that make?

0:46:03 > 0:46:06It's in the north, I come from the south.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10It makes all the difference in the world.

0:46:10 > 0:46:11Please, sit down.

0:46:13 > 0:46:16I'm sure you can see why I didn't want to have this conversation over the phone.

0:46:17 > 0:46:22Absolutely, this is an extremely sensitive matter.

0:46:23 > 0:46:26Our reputation is critical to what we do.

0:46:26 > 0:46:27Yes, yeah, I understand that.

0:46:28 > 0:46:32- There'll be an internal enquiry, of course.- Of course.

0:46:32 > 0:46:36And for our part, Anna will be suspended

0:46:36 > 0:46:38pending the outcome of that investigation.

0:46:38 > 0:46:42Well, as I said, I'll let you have all the evidence that we have.

0:46:45 > 0:46:49Thank you for your time... and your candour.

0:46:49 > 0:46:54My pleasure. I would appreciate being kept in the loop if that's all right.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56- Of course.- Thank you.

0:47:00 > 0:47:02What about criminal charges?

0:47:02 > 0:47:05I'm afraid I can't confirm anything about that

0:47:05 > 0:47:07until I've spoken to the CPS.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12The feuds are local,

0:47:12 > 0:47:16usually between families in the same area or same village.

0:47:16 > 0:47:21That's why they last for generations, it's why they're so...

0:47:21 > 0:47:23brutal.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26That's where you should look.

0:47:26 > 0:47:29If that's true, we'll still need someone

0:47:29 > 0:47:31to provide us with the name of the other family.

0:47:31 > 0:47:36I hear that the authorities in Tirana are especially effective these days.

0:47:36 > 0:47:40Yeah, but we haven't got that long. Look, why don't you do us a favour?

0:47:40 > 0:47:44Make a phone call to whoever it is who could help us get that name?

0:47:44 > 0:47:46Why would I do that?

0:47:46 > 0:47:48We could always talk a little louder.

0:47:48 > 0:47:50I have no secrets from my friends.

0:47:50 > 0:47:52But you do have secrets.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54I am a legitimate businessman.

0:47:54 > 0:47:58I seriously doubt that, but I'm sure you're very careful nowadays.

0:47:58 > 0:48:02Always two steps removed, keeping your hands clean.

0:48:02 > 0:48:06But the question is, Mr Luga, were you always that careful?

0:48:07 > 0:48:09We know you got away with one murder,

0:48:09 > 0:48:12what else did you have to do to get to the top?

0:48:14 > 0:48:15If you really have gone straight,

0:48:15 > 0:48:19then surely you don't want your past dug up, do you?

0:48:20 > 0:48:22Could be very bad for business.

0:48:22 > 0:48:27Digging up the past is our specialty. We're very good at it.

0:48:27 > 0:48:32And if there's anything there, I promise you, we'll find it.

0:48:33 > 0:48:37And if... I give you the name,

0:48:37 > 0:48:41will you leave me alone?

0:48:43 > 0:48:45You'll never see us again.

0:48:45 > 0:48:46If it's the right one.

0:48:48 > 0:48:50I'll make a call.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52Please have a drink while you're waiting.

0:48:53 > 0:48:56Thank you.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59- Thank you very much. - Don't mind if I do.

0:48:59 > 0:49:02You're not authorised to make any kind of deal.

0:49:02 > 0:49:05We didn't make a deal. We just said we wouldn't look at things

0:49:05 > 0:49:07we weren't going to look at anyway.

0:49:07 > 0:49:08We got the name, didn't we?

0:49:08 > 0:49:11The Celajs were in a feud with a family named Dervishi.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13Assuming his information is correct.

0:49:13 > 0:49:14Let me make a quick call.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17Look, there was no reason for him to lie, not about this.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20A man like him doesn't need a reason to lie, it comes naturally,

0:49:20 > 0:49:23especially when he's talking to people like us.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27Did you get anything on the name?

0:49:27 > 0:49:30We're checking with immigration and passport control,

0:49:30 > 0:49:32so far nothing, no.

0:49:32 > 0:49:36Luga's getting some pictures for us from his contact. That might help.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Anna King's turned up at the lab.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40- I thought she'd been suspended. - She has.

0:49:42 > 0:49:43You just missed her,

0:49:43 > 0:49:47she said she needed to pick up some personal things.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49- Where was she going?- She didn't say.

0:49:49 > 0:49:53Did she do anything else while she was here?

0:49:55 > 0:49:57She logged on to her computer.

0:49:57 > 0:49:58What she was looking at?

0:50:04 > 0:50:05She went online.

0:50:08 > 0:50:12And she was searching the internal system for an old case.

0:50:14 > 0:50:17It's not a name I recognise, Hayman,

0:50:17 > 0:50:19Justin Hayman.

0:50:19 > 0:50:21Does that mean anything to you?

0:50:22 > 0:50:26Last time I was here, she was checking a weapon for prints.

0:50:29 > 0:50:31Would you just humour me a little

0:50:31 > 0:50:34and make sure that it's where it's supposed to be.

0:50:38 > 0:50:41Now, check what she was doing online.

0:50:42 > 0:50:46Sandra, it's Jack. Anna King's left already.

0:50:46 > 0:50:47Do we know where she is?

0:50:47 > 0:50:50'No, but she was checking the Hayman case in the system.'

0:50:50 > 0:50:51Why now?

0:50:51 > 0:50:54- You better see this.- Hang on, Jack.

0:50:54 > 0:50:57Luga's contact sent us a nice family picture.

0:50:58 > 0:51:00- What am I looking at?- Far right.

0:51:00 > 0:51:02Maria Mullat.

0:51:02 > 0:51:06Born Christina Dervishi, June '67,

0:51:06 > 0:51:10in the province of Shkoder in the village of Mullat.

0:51:10 > 0:51:12She came to the UK in 1995.

0:51:12 > 0:51:16So she took her new name from the village she came from.

0:51:16 > 0:51:18That's what it looks like.

0:51:18 > 0:51:21Jack, Maria Mullat's real name

0:51:21 > 0:51:24'is Christina Dervishi. She's part of the other family.'

0:51:24 > 0:51:27Yes, Anna was searching for her online.

0:51:27 > 0:51:29'How will she know who she is?'

0:51:29 > 0:51:30The gun's not there.

0:51:31 > 0:51:32Well, where could it be?

0:51:32 > 0:51:35We're going to Mullat's office, meet you there.

0:51:35 > 0:51:37You better call for firearms support.

0:51:37 > 0:51:42- What?- There's a weapon missing here, I think Anna might have it.

0:51:50 > 0:51:51What's happening?

0:51:51 > 0:51:54Anna's in there and she's got Mullat with her.

0:51:54 > 0:51:56- I better talk to her. - It's too late for that.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58- Somebody's got to do something. - Jack!

0:52:12 > 0:52:13Anna?

0:52:14 > 0:52:16Anna?

0:52:17 > 0:52:18It's Jack. Jack Halford.

0:52:18 > 0:52:19Go away.

0:52:19 > 0:52:21I want to talk to you.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23I'll shoot her.

0:52:23 > 0:52:24Anna...

0:52:25 > 0:52:27I'm coming in.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33It's all right, I'm on my own. There's only me.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41- You don't have to do this.- You don't even know what this is.- She's right.

0:52:41 > 0:52:42No, she's wrong.

0:52:42 > 0:52:44I know your real name is Dervishi,

0:52:44 > 0:52:47and I know you changed it to Mullat when you came over here,

0:52:47 > 0:52:51and that's the name of the village you were brought up.

0:52:51 > 0:52:55It's also the name of the village where you were brought up. How did you find out?

0:52:55 > 0:52:56I spoke to my father.

0:52:56 > 0:52:59Well, he told you a lot more than he told us.

0:52:59 > 0:53:00Now this doesn't have to go on.

0:53:00 > 0:53:02She killed my brother.

0:53:02 > 0:53:04And he killed my father. He shot him in the back.

0:53:04 > 0:53:06Don't say anything.

0:53:06 > 0:53:10I killed him and he squealed like a pig.

0:53:10 > 0:53:13- Don't do it, Anna. You're not like her.- Come on!

0:53:13 > 0:53:15Shoot me if you're going to do it. Come on, do it!

0:53:15 > 0:53:18Are you a coward like your brother?

0:53:18 > 0:53:20This is not what you want now, is it?

0:53:20 > 0:53:24- I'm doing this for David. - He wouldn't want any part of this. That's why he brought you here.

0:53:24 > 0:53:25What's wrong with you?

0:53:25 > 0:53:28Think Anna, think!

0:53:28 > 0:53:30GUNSHOTS Go, go, go.

0:53:37 > 0:53:40Armed police, put down your weapon now!

0:53:45 > 0:53:47You're weak, just like your brother.

0:53:49 > 0:53:51He ran away too.

0:53:55 > 0:53:57- You all right?- Yeah, fine.

0:53:57 > 0:53:58You OK?

0:53:58 > 0:54:00- Yeah, yeah, I think so.- Good.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04I'm arresting you for the murder of David Celaj.

0:54:04 > 0:54:06Of course Celaj recognised me.

0:54:06 > 0:54:09And I knew who he was as soon as he walked into the room.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12I told him not to worry, we'd both made new lives here.

0:54:14 > 0:54:15The past didn't matter any more.

0:54:15 > 0:54:19And afterwards I followed him so I knew where to find him again.

0:54:19 > 0:54:21Why didn't you kill him then, why wait?

0:54:23 > 0:54:24There was no hurry.

0:54:28 > 0:54:31David Celaj wasn't a big man, but to tie him to that cross...

0:54:31 > 0:54:34you couldn't have done that on your own.

0:54:34 > 0:54:35Someone must have helped you.

0:54:35 > 0:54:39Yes, but he's back in Albania now, so you can't touch him.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43Anything else to add, Ms Mullat?

0:54:46 > 0:54:48No.

0:54:49 > 0:54:52Interview terminated at 15:28.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54KNOCK ON DOOR

0:54:54 > 0:54:55Come in.

0:54:55 > 0:54:56Ma'am, Mrs King for you.

0:54:56 > 0:55:00Oh, thank you very much. Do come in. Take a seat.

0:55:01 > 0:55:04Would you like a tea, or coffee?

0:55:04 > 0:55:05No, thanks.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07Thank you for agreeing to see me.

0:55:07 > 0:55:09Not at all, what can I do for you?

0:55:11 > 0:55:16They tell me that Anna's been charged with attempted murder.

0:55:16 > 0:55:18I'm afraid that's right. Yes.

0:55:18 > 0:55:21I don't understand, I don't understand any of it.

0:55:21 > 0:55:23I mean, I know what happened, the facts.

0:55:23 > 0:55:26But I don't understand why...

0:55:27 > 0:55:30Why Anna even got involved with any of this.

0:55:32 > 0:55:35Her brother was murdered.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37But she never asked, not once.

0:55:39 > 0:55:44She never told me she wanted details of her old life or where she came from.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46And you never brought it up?

0:55:46 > 0:55:49No, we thought that was for the best.

0:55:49 > 0:55:51We thought it would be easier that way.

0:55:53 > 0:55:54Easier?

0:55:54 > 0:55:56For all of us.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58We didn't want her to be confused, we...

0:56:00 > 0:56:03We wanted her to feel secure.

0:56:06 > 0:56:10Well, in my experience ignoring something doesn't make it disappear,

0:56:10 > 0:56:13it just delays the moment when it has to come to the surface.

0:56:13 > 0:56:17Do you think we should have explained everything

0:56:17 > 0:56:18when she was still a child?

0:56:18 > 0:56:20That was your choice, Mrs King.

0:56:20 > 0:56:23I'm afraid I can't tell you whether it was the right one.

0:56:28 > 0:56:31More like just sat down and told us chapter and verse,

0:56:31 > 0:56:33How she followed David, took him by surprise.

0:56:33 > 0:56:35She smiled while she did it.

0:56:35 > 0:56:37She was proud of what happened.

0:56:37 > 0:56:39She avenged her father, upheld the family honour.

0:56:39 > 0:56:44I could call it a lot of things but honourable wouldn't be one of them.

0:56:45 > 0:56:48So, what about Anna?

0:56:48 > 0:56:50What about Anna?

0:56:52 > 0:56:53We can't look the other way.

0:56:53 > 0:56:57She tampered with evidence, stole a firearm and almost killed Mullat.

0:56:57 > 0:57:01- But she didn't. - Only cos you were there. We don't what would have happened.

0:57:01 > 0:57:03It was about her family, her culture,

0:57:03 > 0:57:06there were extenuating circumstances.

0:57:06 > 0:57:09That doesn't excuse what she did.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11It helps to explain it.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14Not good enough, Jack. Not good enough.

0:57:17 > 0:57:19Anyway, who would like another drink?

0:57:21 > 0:57:24Not for me, thanks,

0:57:24 > 0:57:26I've got to run.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28Another cooking class?

0:57:28 > 0:57:31No. I've been invited to an oenological event.

0:57:33 > 0:57:34A what?

0:57:34 > 0:57:36Wine tasting.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38Vintage wine.

0:57:39 > 0:57:41Which like women, get better with age.

0:57:43 > 0:57:44Thanks, Gerry.

0:57:44 > 0:57:47I'm not sure he was talking about you.
