0:00:02 > 0:00:04- I don't want to be studied. - Me, neither.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- We're being turned into lab rats. It's degrading.- Here they come.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09It's just through here.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Oh, might not be so bad after all.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18Right, this is Brian Lane, Gerry Standing and Jack Halford.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Great to meet you. I'm Samantha Gerson. I'm a psychologist.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Well, you just call me Gerry.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25OK, Gerry. Hi.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31As you know, we've been asked by DAC Strickland to assist Samantha in her OMIP study.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I've assured him that we're extremely happy to take part.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Yeah, more than happy.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40- So perhaps you'd like to tell them what you've got planned.- Absolutely.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Today I'll be observing how you work, so please just act normally.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Define "normally".
0:00:46 > 0:00:50What? I'm just trying to get my head round what's expected.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Just be yourselves. And pretend I'm not here.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58After I've finished analysing today's observations,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01I'll come back to conduct some one-on-one tests,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and feed the results into the study.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Are there any things you'd like to ask me?
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Yeah. What does OMIP actually stand for?
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Older Men In the Workplace.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17With our ageing population, the set-up you have here will one day become the norm.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19God help us.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Oh, are you saying that we'll be trailblazers?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I guess, in a way, I am.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I've always wanted to be at the forefront of a movement.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32This could be historical.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37The only historical thing about it, Brian, is us.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40# It's all right, it's OK
0:01:40 > 0:01:42# Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey
0:01:42 > 0:01:48# It's all right, I say it's OK Listen to what I say
0:01:48 > 0:01:51# It's all right, doing fine
0:01:51 > 0:01:53# Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine
0:01:53 > 0:01:56# It's all right, I say, it's OK
0:01:56 > 0:01:59# We're getting to the end of the day. #
0:02:03 > 0:02:05She's still watching us.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07No, she's observing us.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- There's a difference? - Yeah, it's scientific, isn't it?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12So that's why every time I pee, she takes a note of it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14No wonder she looks knackered.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Oh, very funny(!) You wait, mate. It comes to all of us.- Nah, not me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Bladder like a wine box.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Your need to relieve yourself more
0:02:23 > 0:02:27could influence the number of allotted workplace bathroom breaks
0:02:27 > 0:02:31for generations, Jack. You might even become the benchmark.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40So, did they offer you any ground-breaking insights?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Not sure about ground-breaking.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The way they interact with each other interested me, though.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51I think the lower levels of testosterone mean they work together more effectively as a team.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53For God's sake, don't tell Gerry that
0:02:53 > 0:02:56or he'll pop back the little blue pills like there's no tomorrow.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I have a favour to ask.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Yeah, sure.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06My brother was the victim of a hit a run.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Some joyrider racing round the back streets of West London.
0:03:09 > 0:03:15He suffered injuries to his brain that resulted in complete memory loss
0:03:15 > 0:03:17prior to the accident
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- and serious emotional issues afterwards.- I'm sorry.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25I've been rehabilitating him through therapy. We made real progress until recently.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- What happened?- He's convinced himself it wasn't an accident,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32that the driver ran him over on purpose.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35You deal with unsolved crimes and open cases.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I wondered if you'd speak to him about the hit and run,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41reassure him that it was just a random accident.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Well, I'd need to look at the accident investigation report.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Would you mind?- No, no. That's fine, that's fine.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I just feel I'm so close to making a breakthrough with him.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- If only we can get through this.- OK.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58What you got there?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Hit and run from May 2006.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Victim was Darren Gerson, a bicycle courier.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Any relation to our friend the psychologist?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah, her brother.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- They catch the driver?- No.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And now Mr Gerson thinks it wasn't an accident.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Any witnesses? CCTV?
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Not of the incident, though CCTV in the next street
0:04:17 > 0:04:20managed to get the number plate of a blue Ford
0:04:20 > 0:04:23driving away at 2:33pm, which fitted time-wise.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And fragments of blue paint found at the scene matched up.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- So they traced the car.- Yeah, they did, but it had been stolen
0:04:30 > 0:04:33that morning. The owner's alibi was watertight, he was at work.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36So the accident investigation report concluded
0:04:36 > 0:04:39that it was probably joyriders from the nearby estate,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41which they'd been having a problem with.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Two days later, the car was found burnt out, dumped on an industrial estate in New Malden.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47The case still open?
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Mm. But what bothers me the most
0:04:50 > 0:04:54is that fragments from the bike's back reflector light
0:04:54 > 0:04:57indicate that this was the initial point of contact,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00but there are no skid marks to show that the driver even braked.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Which means that the driver didn't see him, or...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Or he ran him down on purpose.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yeah.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And now Miss Gerson wants me to convince him it was an accident.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Oh, thank you both so much for coming. I really appreciate it.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- It's OK.- Gets us out of the office.
0:05:30 > 0:05:36Come in, before he changes his mind and throws us all out.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Thank you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Told her it wasn't an accident, but she won't believe me.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53What makes you think that the driver ran you down on purpose, Darren?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- Because I've remembered. - Remembered what?
0:05:59 > 0:06:03That after the car hit me,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I was there lying face down on the ground,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I could feel someone going through my courier bag.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Now you've had a chance to look at the accident investigation report,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18can you tell us what your findings are?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Um, well, inconclusive at the moment, I'm afraid.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I was targeted.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Oh, right, yeah, no, don't bother trying to ask me who or what that stands for,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37because that went along with the rest of the memories.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I was thinking of having it removed,
0:06:42 > 0:06:47but then I figured I'd probably lost enough of who I was already.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Tell me, what was in the courier bag?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- A package.- Containing?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I don't know. - What happened to it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:06They took it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16OK, well, I'll see you later.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I've spoken to the courier company. They assured me the package reached its destination.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26He seems convinced someone took it.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Darren had a cardiac arrest at the scene of the accident.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32He was clinically dead for two or three minutes
0:07:32 > 0:07:35before the paramedics resuscitated him. In that situation,
0:07:35 > 0:07:39the neuron transmitters in the brain are firing on all cylinders.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41That's why people who have near-death experiences
0:07:41 > 0:07:44often report their lives flashing before their eyes.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46The mind plays tricks when it's shutting down.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- You're saying he imagined someone going through his bag?- Yes, yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51And now he's fixating on it.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55He's becoming paranoid, convincing himself someone's out to get him.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57I'm afraid it's textbook stuff.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59People look for a reason why bad things happen.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04But for Darren to make further gains he needs to accept that sometimes there isn't one...
0:08:06 > 0:08:09..that accidents do, sadly, sometimes just happen.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13So Darren was en route to the drop-off when he was run down?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15As I understand it, yes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Then the package must have gone to the hospital along with the rest of his belongings.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I suppose so.- And somebody had to sign for it to get it released.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Did you sign for it?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29No.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36According to the hospital records, Darren's girlfriend Nina Ward was the first to arrive,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40therefore, she had access to his personal belongings before the police turned up.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- So they called her and not his sister?- She was his ICE number.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Maybe she took the package to the courier company.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Did the hospital have it listed among his stuff?- No, nothing was itemised.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I'll see if the notes say anything about the contents.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Good idea. And let's see what this Nina Ward has to say.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I cannot believe what they charge for parking these days.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12LOUD MUSIC AND CHEERING
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Nina Ward?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Yeah, just there.- Thank you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Can we have a word, please?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17Detective Superintendent Pullman. This is my colleague Gerry Standing.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- What's up? - Let's sit down, shall we?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So you run this Rollapaluza thing, do you?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- They certainly go for it, don't they? - That's push bike couriers for you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32We're looking into the hit and run that nearly killed your ex-boyfriend.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What's to look into?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Just another cyclist mown down by a boy racer.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39We think there might be more to it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Where did you two meet?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44On the circuit.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- You were a courier? - For a couple of years, yeah,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- until I lost my bottle. - Why, what happened?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Saw Darren all messed up in intensive care.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Put me right off.- Yeah, according to the hospital records
0:10:56 > 0:11:01you accessed his personal belongings before the police arrived. Why?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I wanted his mobile to tell his friends what was going on.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Why did the hospital call you first?
0:11:07 > 0:11:13I was his ICE, you know, in case of emergency contact, and he was mine.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17Chances are in couriering, you'll have an accident every 18 months, so you need one.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19But why not his sister?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22They weren't that close, especially after his parents died.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I don't think she approved of his lifestyle.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Can you remember if there was a package in Darren's courier bag?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32No. Don't think so.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37So you didn't return it to the courier company or deliver it yourself?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39No. Definitely not.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42According to these notes, they spoke to his firm,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Super Speedy Couriers, and were told that Darren Gerson
0:11:46 > 0:11:49was en route from a company called Deqo...
0:11:49 > 0:11:50D, E...?
0:11:50 > 0:11:55Q, O. ..to an address in Berwick Street when the accident happened,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00but I can't see any reference about the contents of the courier bag.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05Here we go. "Deqo, importers of furniture and objects d'art."
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Great, I think that's everything. - Miss Claudia Scott?
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Yes.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22We're from UCOS. I phoned you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Ah, yes. Follow me.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Won't be a minute.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36So, how is he?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Making progress. - I'm glad to hear it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They told me that his injuries were extremely serious,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44that he was lucky to be alive.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46And now, when I see a courier,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I think of him and wonder if he recovered.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Now Mr Gerson was on his way to 133 Berwick Street in Soho,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59which at the time was being lived in by Peter Collins.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Peter's an interior designer that I imported furniture for on a number of occasions.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05What was in the package?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07I believe it was an import contract
0:13:07 > 0:13:11that I needed him to sign before I could ship his goods.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12And did he get it?
0:13:12 > 0:13:15I think so. Well, unless we sent him another one.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20We've tried to contact Mr Collins, but he's no longer at that address.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I haven't heard from him in years,
0:13:23 > 0:13:27but I do have a mobile number if you want it.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28That would be useful.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Where do you import your stuff from?
0:13:32 > 0:13:33It depends on who's buying.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38Right now, I'm bringing in masses of high-end repro from France,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42plus a lot of East coast of America-style
0:13:42 > 0:13:45kitchen dressers, tables, chairs.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49The stuff we were looking at out the back looks Moroccan.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52It is. We just had a delivery.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56That handmade-in-a-souk style is always very popular.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I think I am.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Drugs?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12That's what I was thinking.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14I thought so.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41G-man, priority pick-up, 31 Hatfields, over.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43VOICE OVER RADIO: Roger.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Detective Superintendent Pullman.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47We're with the Met.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- 'Roadrunner.' - Copy Roadrunner.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52'POB Seymour Street.'
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Second pick-up, 15 Connaught Place, over.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- 'Roger.' - What can I do for you?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00We're investigating a hit and run from May 2006.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03The victim was one of your couriers, Darren Gerson.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06A nasty one. Left it a bit late, if you don't mind me saying.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08New information's come to light.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Oh, I see. Well, how can I help?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13We need to know what happened to the package
0:15:13 > 0:15:15that Darren was delivering at the time.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16I can check the system for you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Thank you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Would've been the last job he did for us, for obvious reasons.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- Yeah, here it is. Says it was delivered.- By who?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28It's still got Wilko next to it, that was his call sign.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- His girlfriend Nina probably dropped it off.- She said she didn't.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Then one of the other couriers would have, so Darren could get paid.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- They help each other out.- Were you working the day of the accident?
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Unfortunately. No-one wants that to happen on their shift.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43You know what was in the package?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46No, we never ask. They never tell us.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48What was Darren like at the time?
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Adrenaline junkie, of course, like the rest of them, but smarter than most.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55That's why I gave him lots of jobs. And reliable. Most of them aren't.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Thing about couriers, they're not like us.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01We wouldn't risk our lives daily for a few hundred quid, but they do.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02RADIO: Learjockey.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Sorry, I'm holding the fort on my own at the moment. Copy, Learjockey.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- I'll go and have a word with the natives.- OK.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Morning, gents.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Listen.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19Did any of you know Darren Gerson when he worked here as a courier?
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- I knew him.- Yeah?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Did you go and visit him in hospital after the accident?- Course.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31That's good. I don't suppose you picked up the package he was carrying, did you?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34You a rozzer?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Well, retired now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40No, I feel sorry for the kid, do you know what I mean?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Did anybody else visit him? - Yeah, most of us.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Yeah? Well, that's nice, isn't it? So he was popular?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- He was.- Oh, good. - Not with the management,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51but with the other couriers.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53What was the problem with the management?
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Darren wanted to start a union.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Tough gig, you know?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It's dangerous too, but that doesn't stop them treating us like shit.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Darren wanted to change that, but he got run over.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Occupational hazard.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Which of the couriers would have been most likely to help Darren out?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Well, he was best mates with Psycho Chris,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14but they had a big bust-up a few weeks before the accident.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Flying Kiwi was probably the one that dropped the package off.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- He around? - No, he's gone back to New Zealand.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24This Psycho Chris, does he live up to his name?
0:17:24 > 0:17:28See for yourself, if you like. He'll be down the Coach and Horses
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- after work with the rest. That's where they hang out.- OK, thank you.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Well, this is where he was hit.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Hard not to see him.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38Yeah, bloody hard.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43There's the CCTV camera.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47So he was run down on the quietest,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51most deserted stretch between Deqo and the main road.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Yeah, looks like it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Chris, can you tell me what you and Darren fell out about?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01He cut me up in a courier race when I was going down Kenchurch Street.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04I went arse over tit. So we had words.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Things were said that couldn't be unsaid.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Did you visit him in hospital?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10No.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12What's GLS?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Some bird's initials.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- You should see where she's got mine. - Darren's got the same tattoo.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Yeah, well, we both shagged her.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25One night me and him got pissed, got the tat done.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Seemed like a good idea at the time.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29What's her name?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Gail Lewis-Smith.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34She used to hang round here. Bit of a courier groupie.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Where is she now?
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Gail?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Ain't seen her in years.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Do you know what was in the package
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Darren was carrying when he was knocked down?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Why would I?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Thanks for the drink.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54What's it say?
0:18:56 > 0:19:01GLS Revenue, GLS Medicine, Government Legal System,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- GLS bulb... Nah, the list goes on and on.- How many results?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Over 12 million.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Right, this is the route that Darren took.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12We walked it.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15The driver certainly picked the best place for a hit and run.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18About 100 metres from Deqo and about the only place
0:19:18 > 0:19:20where there's not likely to be any witnesses,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23either to the accident or someone going through the courier bag.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- So what are you saying he was carrying?- Drugs?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29We found a vanload of Moroccan furniture.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And when I asked Claudia Scott where she imports from,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34she only mentioned France and America.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I had to call her on the Moroccan stuff and she then admitted
0:19:37 > 0:19:39that she's been shipping it in for years.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42She could have smuggled it in, unloaded it at the warehouse
0:19:42 > 0:19:45and delivered it by courier to a dealer, or dealers.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Hashish, cocaine, heroin. They all come in through Morocco.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And it wouldn't be the first time that bicycle couriers have been used
0:19:52 > 0:19:55to get separation between smugglers and dealers.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59We tried the number that she gave us for Peter Collins, but it's no longer in service
0:19:59 > 0:20:02and the current tenants of the Berwick Street flat
0:20:02 > 0:20:04have no contact details for him.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So, Darren Gerson was targeted
0:20:07 > 0:20:09because somebody knew that he was carrying drugs?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12A rival gang, or even a junkie, rips off the gear
0:20:12 > 0:20:14and the beauty is, it looks like a hit and run.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18The question is, if it WAS drugs, did Darren know he was carrying?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22If he did then, he certainly wouldn't remember now, or he wouldn't have got us involved.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Let's find out more about Claudia Scott and Peter Collins.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31Run them through the PNC and get copies of Deqo's import paperwork from Customs.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- What about GLS?- Oh, yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Is there any way of narrowing down the search?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I'll try variations, see if anything comes up that looks right.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Yeah, do it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42PHONE RINGS
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Superintendent Pullman.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50OK, someone will come up. Thanks. Bye-Bye.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Samantha Gerson's here.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53I'll go.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Hiya.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08OK, we'll start with a simple word association test.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13So I say a word and you tell me the first word that pops into your head.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17So it's just the first word that pops into my head, right?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Tree.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Trunk.- Love.- Sex.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Money.- Alimony.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Ready?- Steady.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Oh, I haven't started yet.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well, how will I know?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'm starting now. OK?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Tree.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49What type of tree?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51That doesn't matter.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I just need you to say the first word that comes into your head.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58The first word that came into my head was "what",
0:21:58 > 0:22:02quickly followed by "type" then "of" then "tree".
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Right, well, erm...
0:22:06 > 0:22:07Let's try again, shall we?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09If you want.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Love.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Wimbledon.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15- Money.- Greed.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17No, evil.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Right, let's move on to the remote association test.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26So this involves three words
0:22:26 > 0:22:29which are all related by a single concept or use.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33So, for example, the words salt, deep, and foam are all related to...
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Sea.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36You've done this before?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39My wife and I used to play word games on car journeys.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- You don't any more?- No.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47She died?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49She was murdered.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52In what seemed to be at first like a hit and run.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57In my experience bad things don't always happen by accident.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01How'd you get on?
0:23:03 > 0:23:07I just kept thinking about, well, you know...
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Lunch?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10No, Brian.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Women. Sex.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Oh.- Very attractive woman.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16And she was that far away from me.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Smiling.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I mean, under any other circumstances I would have tried it on.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Given her a tug. Asked her out for dinner, but...
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Old Gits In The Workplace. Hardly an aphrodisiac, is it?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32You never know, she might fancy the older man.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35How did you get on?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Nah, not very well. Don't think I scored very highly.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41It's not that sort of test. It's not a competition.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47You all right, Jack?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Do you want to talk about it?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52No, I don't want to bloody talk about it!
0:23:53 > 0:24:00Oh, I'm sorry, it's just this hit and run business. I let it get to me.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03I know I shouldn't, but...
0:24:04 > 0:24:05I don't know.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Maybe I'm just getting old.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13We were just talking about the test.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14What d'ya think?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Load of bollocks!
0:24:19 > 0:24:20KNOCK ON DOOR
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Yes?
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Hi, sorry to bother you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Samantha...
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Look, you didn't mention before that, before the accident,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36you and your brother weren't that close.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39That's ironic, isn't it?
0:24:39 > 0:24:43I didn't approve of his lifestyle and look what happened, I was right.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45I need to see him again.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Do you really think someone ran him over on purpose?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's looking increasingly likely, yeah.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58If you like we can go when I've finished my notes.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00OK.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Hi.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Thanks.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15I spoke to Chris Jenkins.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Sorry, who?- Psycho Chris?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24You two used to be friends. In fact, he has the same tattoo as you.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Did he tell you what it stands for?
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Yeah, he said it was the initials of some woman called Gail Lewis-Smith.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Er, no, the name doesn't mean anything to me.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Look,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43have you figured out why they ran me down yet?
0:25:43 > 0:25:48Darren, it's possible that the package contained drugs.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Do you remember ever being asked to courier that sort of thing? - Don't think so, no.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57You picked it up from a furniture importing company called Deqo,
0:25:57 > 0:26:01which is owned by this woman here, Claudia Scott.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Do you recognise her?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07I'm not sure, erm...
0:26:09 > 0:26:11OK, this is weird, but...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I think I can remember the smell of her perfume.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Yeah, kind of woody, with some citrus.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24There's something familiar about her.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It's in here, yeah?!
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Out of reach. I can't....
0:26:35 > 0:26:37No. Just...
0:26:44 > 0:26:48He knew Claudia Scott - and not just from picking up a package.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Well, he might not have been able to tell me how well or for how long,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54but he knew her. That much was clear.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Maybe Darren remembered her perfume because he was giving her one.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Which, of course, means he was cheating on Nina.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04And for some reason Ms Scott decided not to mention it to us,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- which is a fairly large omission. - Anything on the PNC about her?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Claudia Scott's never been arrested. Neither has Peter Collins.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Unusual, if they were both involved in the drugs trade.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Talk to your informants, see if they know anything.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Might be worth going back to Deqo and asking HER if they were at it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23Yeah. Definitely. And find out what perfume she wears.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- 'Hello?'- Jack Halford and Brian Lane from UCOS.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- 'Again?' - Just a couple more questions.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36DOOR BUZZES
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Thank you.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Er, I'll be back in a minute.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42What is it?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Probably nothing, but you go on in.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Excuse me!
0:28:12 > 0:28:13Smells like wood and citrus.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15What perfume are you wearing?
0:28:17 > 0:28:18Nino Cerruti.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19That a favourite of yours?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It's what I always wear.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Why?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Darren remembered it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Were you two involved?
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Romantically?
0:28:43 > 0:28:44We slept with each other.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Just the once?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49No. Half a dozen times.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52The first time it happened...
0:28:53 > 0:28:57..I'd had a boozy business lunch with a client.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00And then this courier came in and started flirting with me,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I flirted back.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04One thing led to another.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Why didn't you mention this
0:29:06 > 0:29:08to the officer who spoke to you after the hit and run
0:29:08 > 0:29:11or to us the other day?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Because I didn't think that my sex life was relevant to what happened back then.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18And it still isn't.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Did he see you were with Jack?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58He must have done.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00And yet he still ran?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02PHONE RINGS
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Pullman.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05'Darren Gerson on the line for you.'
0:30:05 > 0:30:06Put him through.
0:30:09 > 0:30:10Hello, Darren.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Listen, was that one of yours that chased me?
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Yes.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Why did he do that?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Just wanted to speak to you.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19What were you doing outside Deqo?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Erm, I went there to try and remember.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Did it work?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Maybe, I don't know.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31Sat on the bus in the traffic just now,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33this name started going round and round in my head.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Edna. OK, now, I don't know,
0:30:35 > 0:30:39but maybe this Edna has got something to do with what happened to me.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41I need you to find out.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Do you have a surname?
0:30:42 > 0:30:43No. I've tried, OK.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47But, it's not there. All I've got is Edna.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49OK.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53You were right about Claudia Scott's perfume, by the way.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56She wears Nino Cerutti's Image,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58which is citrus and wood.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Now she says that you were lovers.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Yep. I've got to go.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07No, hang on.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Darren?
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Darren, are you there?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13PHONE GOES DEAD
0:31:16 > 0:31:18How'd it go with your informants?
0:31:18 > 0:31:23Nothing. No-one had heard of a dealer called Peter Collins or a smuggler called Claudia Scott.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27So either these two somehow managed to keep their activities under the radar
0:31:27 > 0:31:29or they're perfectly legitimate businesspeople.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Dig deeper on her. Let's find out if she's made too much money.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35I want to see bank statements, property records,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37and I still want Peter Collins traced.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40I called the letting agent that manages the Berwick Street flat
0:31:40 > 0:31:45- they'll send the paperwork over from the day he rented it.- Good.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Does the name Edna ring any bells, Mr Rendall?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Could have been a courier here.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- 'Fraid not.- You're sure?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59We don't have many women working for us. I'd remember an Edna.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Could it be a call sign?
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Nah. It's not cool enough.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Jodie, you ever heard the call sign Edna?- No. Never.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Jodie's worked here longer than I have.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10So if neither of us know it...
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- We're looking in the wrong place. - Yeah, OK. Thanks.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Nothing.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18What are you doing, Brian?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Self administering an ink blot test.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Why?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Samantha Gerson's interested in our psychological state
0:32:24 > 0:32:26reawakened my need for self discovery.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Is that wise?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31It would be if I could see anything in it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36According to the description, I'm supposed to be looking at a dragon.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37Oh, yes.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- What, can you see it?- Yes.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40There's it's head.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44All I can see is a watery ink smudge.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Oh, it's no good, Brian.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- No?- It could mean you're a psychopath, or even a serial killer.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53You should hand yourself in, before you go postal on us.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55I'll be going postal on this bloody computer
0:32:55 > 0:32:57if I don't start seeing something soon.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Check that out.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Make up your mind, Kator, either you want to be...
0:33:33 > 0:33:34What do you want?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36We want a word with Nina.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Nina, the cops are here to see you.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Right, just coming.
0:33:46 > 0:33:47She'll be out in a minute.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49No, I think we'll leave that open.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Move yourself.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53I don't think so.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57This door's closing, with or without your face in the way.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Was that a threat?
0:34:01 > 0:34:02You got a warrant?
0:34:02 > 0:34:03No.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Then piss off.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Don't! You! Push! Me!
0:34:14 > 0:34:15You going to help?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17You're doing just fine.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20What's going to happen to Chris?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22He'll been taken into custody.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23What's going on here, Nina?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Nothing's going on.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Nina, do yourself a favour and tell us.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Look, we were hanging out, all right?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- Then you two came barging in. - Who's Edna?
0:34:35 > 0:34:36I never heard of her.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39You?
0:34:40 > 0:34:41You?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Why? It's a joke, mate. It's a joke!
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Just leave him!
0:34:57 > 0:34:59What's on there?
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Courier call signs, mobile phone numbers,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04something to do with getting in touch with the media.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09And a reference to GLS next to today's date.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12They're definitely up to something.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Question is what?
0:35:15 > 0:35:17These are all major traffic arteries.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- Yeah. - So why highlight them specifically?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Yeah.
0:35:26 > 0:35:27What does that give you?
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Gridlock.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47"The Gridlock Society is a group of committed cyclists
0:35:47 > 0:35:50"who aim to rid the capital of motor vehicles, by bringing
0:35:50 > 0:35:52"gridlock to the streets of London."
0:35:55 > 0:35:58HORNS BEEP
0:36:00 > 0:36:01Rewind that bit.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04Pause it there.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Darren Gerson.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Listen, there's no way they caused that many traffic jams.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Well, let's check it.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Read some dates out to me.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Come on.- All right.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28Right, go.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Er,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33March 17th, 2006.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41"Westminster and surrounding area gridlocked for three hours."
0:36:41 > 0:36:42Give me another one.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46November the 9th, 2008.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52"Traffic brought to standstill across Central London." And again.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56May 2nd, 2009.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03"Serious gridlock around Hanger Lane causes massive delays."
0:37:03 > 0:37:05GLS did all this?
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Well, unless they just took credit for the gridlock after the event.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11Gail Lewis-Smith.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14That was good, I like that.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17But what I think you meant was Gridlock Society.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20Nope, never heard of it.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Come on.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24We've got all the material from Nina's flat.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27You were there. No point denying you're a member.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Just visiting, she's an old mate.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I like the GLS website.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Although I think you're stretching it a bit
0:37:33 > 0:37:35claiming that many snarl ups.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Did Darren's involvement
0:37:36 > 0:37:39with the GLS have anything to do with the hit and run?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Like I said. I've never heard of it.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Psycho Chris.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Why do they call you that?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47It's my call sign.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49I know that, but why?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Cos I've got no fear when I ride. I'm a psycho courier.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- And because of your violent temper. - No.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I'm fearless on the streets, not violent. Big difference.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01You attacked me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02I was provoked, mate.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07I think you're a dangerous man, Mr Jenkins.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08You are involved in an organisation
0:38:08 > 0:38:11which breaks the law on a regular basis.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I suggest you co-operate fully
0:38:13 > 0:38:15or risk being given a custodial sentence.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17So for the final time,
0:38:17 > 0:38:21did the hit and run have anything to do with the GLS?
0:38:21 > 0:38:23You've got me all wrong, you know.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26But that's always the way with the police, isn't it?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I'm the good guy. He's the one you should be worried about.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Darren's the dangerous one, not me.
0:38:31 > 0:38:32What do you mean by that?
0:38:35 > 0:38:36Look,
0:38:36 > 0:38:43co-operate and if what you give us has a major bearing on the case
0:38:43 > 0:38:45then we might, just might,
0:38:45 > 0:38:46drop the assault charges.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Assault?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Fiver, he talks.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52You're on.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Fine. No skin off mine.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Darren turned all extreme on us.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07'And that would be when he was in the GLS?
0:39:07 > 0:39:12Look, the way this works is you tell us everything you know
0:39:12 > 0:39:15and we consider letting you off with a caution.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Yes. When he was in the GLS.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Which you are a member of, correct?
0:39:20 > 0:39:21Yes, I am.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23What do you mean by "extreme"?
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Darren started it.
0:39:27 > 0:39:28GLS was his idea.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Get people out of their cars by bringing the streets to a standstill.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35We all thought it was a great idea, be a right laugh.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39But Darren wasn't satisfied with just bringing the streets to gridlock.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43He wanted to declare war on cars and their drivers.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- How was he going to do that? - By blowing shit up.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51You should be thankful he got taken out of action when he did,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54before he started planting car bombs all over the place.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Is that why someone ran him down. To stop him?
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Who knows.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Should we be thanking YOU, Chris?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Awwww,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06this is going to break your heart,
0:40:06 > 0:40:10but Darren getting knocked down had nothing to do with me.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I'm just the messenger.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21So, how seriously are we taking what he said in there?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23About the car bombs?
0:40:23 > 0:40:24What do you think, Jack?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Well, he's not what you'd call a reliable source.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Edna...
0:40:36 > 0:40:37EDNA,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40the abbreviated name of ethylenedinitramine.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43And what's that when it's at home?
0:40:43 > 0:40:46An explosive chemical used to make bombs.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I can hear someone talking.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Sounds like Radio Four.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02RADIO PLAYS IN BACKGROUND
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Darren? Darren, it's Sandra Pullman. Can you come to the door, please?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- There you go.- Ta.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Does it look like Claudia Scott's banking too much cash?
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Not in her main accounts.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22But she has got a safety deposit box paid for by direct debit.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Does she, indeed? Come and take a look at this.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32It's the tenancy agreement from the Berwick Street property.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Look what Peter Collins has put down as his occupation.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Hmmm, interesting...
0:41:41 > 0:41:43RADIO CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND
0:41:45 > 0:41:46Well, he's in.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Wait here with her.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56You all right, Guv?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Call for ambulance and back-up.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08No, no, no, you don't want to go up there.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18According to the February 2007 edition of UK Gem Merchants' Magazine,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Peter Collins was struck off the accredited dealers list
0:42:22 > 0:42:28after accusations that he was selling Ivory Coast conflict diamonds refused to go away.
0:42:28 > 0:42:32It also says that shortly afterwards, he moved to Canada.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Well, maybe Morocco's not the only African country that Claudia Scott was importing from.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40We're still waiting for the paperwork from customs.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44See if you can get Mike on it, he's the only tech there that I rate.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Call me back when you know.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48We'll take it from here.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52I'll have one of my team call round to your office and pick up the files in an hour,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- give you enough time to box them up.- I'm sure we'll manage.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Good. Right, well, better get on with it. Good to meet you.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01I thought perhaps you'd like me to brief you on everything we've got.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Rather you wrote it up and put it in with the files.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13We requested the information be sent over days ago.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16Can you e-mail it?
0:43:17 > 0:43:18How about a fax?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21HOLD MUZAK PLAYS
0:43:21 > 0:43:25Nice selection of hand-carved Malian tribal masks.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27Big enough to stash diamonds in?
0:43:27 > 0:43:30Yeah, easily.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Went well with the SIO, then.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37DCI Temple's arrogant, dismissive and basically bloody rude.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Yeah, not very big on the sisterhood, by the look of it.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Oh, for your information,
0:43:42 > 0:43:46the last call the deceased made was to Deqo.
0:43:49 > 0:43:51Good work.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55Any sign of a break-in?
0:43:55 > 0:43:58No. Both doors were locked and there were no open windows.
0:43:58 > 0:44:02It looks like Darren just let his killer in.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05Has to be someone he knew.
0:44:05 > 0:44:09From the rigidity of the body, I'd say he'd been dead for about 12 hours.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13- Do you agree?- Yeah, we can assume he was killed between 10pm and midnight.
0:44:13 > 0:44:14What about the murder weapon?
0:44:14 > 0:44:17Nah, nothing was found while we were at the scene.
0:44:17 > 0:44:20The hit and run has to be linked to this murder.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22It's too much of a bad coincidence otherwise.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26Question is, why kill him now?
0:44:26 > 0:44:30Maybe somebody got spooked by our investigation,
0:44:30 > 0:44:34decided that it was safer to take him out of the picture once and for all.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Yeah, makes sense.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Talk to me about these diamonds.
0:44:42 > 0:44:47The UN Security Council banned the trade in diamonds from Ivory Coast in 2005,
0:44:47 > 0:44:53because they were being used by rebels, involved in a vicious civil war, to fund their army.
0:44:53 > 0:44:59However, Amnesty International reckon that stones mined in the rebel-held north
0:44:59 > 0:45:03were still finding their way onto the international diamond market, through neighbouring Mali.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06Seems like they were trafficking blood diamonds.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10Claudia Scott brought them in hidden in those Malian tribal masks,
0:45:10 > 0:45:13Darren Gerson biked them over to Peter Collins,
0:45:13 > 0:45:17who cleaned them up then sold them on to his clients.
0:45:17 > 0:45:19The dates fit, we've had a fax.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Deqo was importing from Mali in 2005 and 2006.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Now, because we're talking diamonds and not drugs,
0:45:26 > 0:45:30it makes sense that my snouts didn't get a sniff of it.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Or why the people involved weren't on the PNC.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Yeah, well, different class, innit?
0:45:35 > 0:45:37But why was Darren involved in this?
0:45:37 > 0:45:39He didn't seem the type to be motivated by money.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44Yeah, but I bet he'd need money to fund the GLS.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49Yeah, bombing campaign's can't be cheap.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52Look, Claudia Scott was the last person he called.
0:45:54 > 0:45:56Sandra, we're this close.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59We can't let them waltz in and take all the glory!
0:46:01 > 0:46:04Switch off your mobiles. Brian, grab your laptop. Let's get out of here.
0:46:04 > 0:46:09- Sandra...- Unless you want to wait around and hand over everything we've done to DCI Temple
0:46:09 > 0:46:12and hope that she reads my report in time to catch the killer.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15- You're the boss.- Come on!
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Jack, you and I will find Claudia Scott.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19You two talk to Nina Ward,
0:46:19 > 0:46:21maybe she'll open up now that Darren's dead.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34- Metropolitan Police. Claudia Scott inside?- No. She just left.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38- Where did she go? She say when she'd be back?- She's not coming back.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40Miss Scott said the business has closed
0:46:40 > 0:46:41and told me to find another job.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44- And she was in a hurry?- Big hurry.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49He's died twice on me now.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53We need your help to catch the killer.
0:46:54 > 0:46:56What do you want me to do?
0:46:56 > 0:47:00Tell us if he was involved in the trafficking of conflict diamonds.
0:47:02 > 0:47:03We need to know, Nina.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09He was just the delivery man, he only did it for a few months.
0:47:09 > 0:47:11And then he got knocked down?
0:47:12 > 0:47:14How'd he get mixed up in it?
0:47:14 > 0:47:16Darren collected a package from Deqo,
0:47:16 > 0:47:18smelled something fishy was going on and...
0:47:18 > 0:47:22- Opened the package and found it was full of diamonds. - Then muscled in on the deal.
0:47:22 > 0:47:26- Yeah.- Who else was involved?
0:47:26 > 0:47:27He said there were three others.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30He never told me their names. Said it was safer that way.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34He do it to fund the GLS and the bombing campaign?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Nina, this was brutal.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41He was stabbed 15 times.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47Look, I kept on telling him that blowing up cars was a crazy idea,
0:47:47 > 0:47:49that people would get killed.
0:47:49 > 0:47:52But he was fanatical about the idea, by then.
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Kept on saying that collateral damage happened in all wars.
0:47:55 > 0:47:59And that's what it was to Darren, a war.
0:47:59 > 0:48:04Over two months, he built up a pretty big stash. couriering the diamonds.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06Said we'd need it when the shit started to go down.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09- And how much was his cut? - I don't know.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12More than enough. I've never seen so much money.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14Where is it now?
0:48:14 > 0:48:16After the hit and run,
0:48:16 > 0:48:19once we knew that Darren was never going to be the same,
0:48:19 > 0:48:23Psycho Chris and Kator persuaded me that we should keep it.
0:48:23 > 0:48:25I only went along with it, because part of me was angry at him.
0:48:25 > 0:48:28About what?
0:48:28 > 0:48:31When I was at hospital, I checked Darren's mobile to make sure
0:48:31 > 0:48:35there weren't any incriminating texts about the bombs or the GLS.
0:48:35 > 0:48:39That's why you went through his stuff before the police arrived?
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Yeah.
0:48:40 > 0:48:45I found a bunch of sex texts, from someone called Claudia.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49It was obvious he'd been cheating on me.
0:48:49 > 0:48:54So if Claudia Scott and Peter Collins were two of Darren's partners in crime,
0:48:54 > 0:48:57who's the other?
0:48:57 > 0:48:59What about the Fat Controller?
0:49:03 > 0:49:04DOOR SLAMS SHUT
0:49:04 > 0:49:06I mean, think about it.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09Before Darren muscled his way into the deal
0:49:09 > 0:49:13Rendall would have been perfect. He could handpick suitable couriers,
0:49:13 > 0:49:16and then he could track the diamonds' progress across town.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21And act as a firewall between Claudia Scott and Peter Collins.
0:49:21 > 0:49:22Exactly.
0:49:22 > 0:49:23ENGINE REVS
0:50:01 > 0:50:05Detective Superintendent Pullman.
0:50:05 > 0:50:09Don't look like much, do they, Claudia, before they've been cut?
0:50:09 > 0:50:11Makes you wonder what all the fuss is about.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13But wars are fought...
0:50:15 > 0:50:17..and people die because of them.
0:50:20 > 0:50:21Darren's dead, isn't he?
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Yes.
0:50:23 > 0:50:24Oh, God.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38I want immunity and a new identity.
0:50:39 > 0:50:43You give me that and I'll tell you who killed him.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45But I won't go on tape...
0:50:47 > 0:50:49..and I won't testify.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54DOORBELL CHIMES
0:50:59 > 0:51:01Mr. Rendall, we need a few minutes of your time.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03Can we come in?
0:51:03 > 0:51:06Yeah, of course.
0:51:06 > 0:51:07Thank you.
0:51:13 > 0:51:14Tea, coffee?
0:51:14 > 0:51:16No, not for me, thanks.
0:51:16 > 0:51:18- No, thank you. - So what's going on, fellas?
0:51:18 > 0:51:21- We need to ask you a few questions. - Go on, then.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23How well do you know Claudia Scott?
0:51:23 > 0:51:26Not well. She's just a voice on the end of the phone.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28What about Peter Collins?
0:51:29 > 0:51:31Name doesn't ring any bells.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33- Why, who is he? - He's an associate of her's.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Have you met Ms Scott?
0:51:38 > 0:51:39Is she a big client?
0:51:39 > 0:51:41Not particularly. We do a job a month for her.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43Tell us who killed Darren Gerson
0:51:43 > 0:51:46and I'll speak to my superiors about witness protection.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50- I need a guarantee. - I can't give you that.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53But I can arrest you on suspicion of murder. Your choice.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57What are you afraid of, Claudia?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01That he'll come after me next.
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Then let us protect you.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Tell us who the killer is.
0:52:08 > 0:52:10Alan Rendall murdered him.
0:52:10 > 0:52:12And how do you know this?
0:52:12 > 0:52:15Because Darren rang me yesterday to say he'd remembered
0:52:15 > 0:52:17that he'd couriered diamonds for us.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20And stupidly I phoned Rendall and told him.
0:52:20 > 0:52:23And how did he react?
0:52:23 > 0:52:24Furiously.
0:52:24 > 0:52:25Is he a violent man?
0:52:25 > 0:52:29Violent? Rendall's a lunatic.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31Rendall is the one who ran Darren over.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34If he's such a lunatic, why did you call him?
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- Surely you must have known how he'd react.- I panicked.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40So why did he run him over?
0:52:40 > 0:52:44Because once Darren was involved, we didn't need Rendall any more.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46So you cut him out.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50I told him we'd do one last job,
0:52:50 > 0:52:53but after that, he was no longer required.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55And that was when Darren was hit by a car?
0:52:58 > 0:52:59Yes.
0:53:02 > 0:53:04What are you burning?
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Just some old rubbish. Had a clear-out this weekend.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09Bonfire saved me a trip down the dump.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14- Not going to nick me for that, are you?- Where were you last night between 10pm and midnight?
0:53:14 > 0:53:16- Here.- Alone?- Unfortunately.
0:53:17 > 0:53:21Now, am I right in thinking you gave Darren his last job?
0:53:21 > 0:53:22Uh-huh.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26So you'd have known he was going to Deqo and when he'd be there.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30I'm not sure I quite like where this is going.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33I'm showing Mr Rendall exhibit 216.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36This is a piece of the shirt you were wearing yesterday
0:53:36 > 0:53:39- when I visited you at Super Speedy Couriers.- If you say so.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43So what was it doing on the bonfire at your house?
0:53:43 > 0:53:45I chucked it out, with some old stuff.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48In order to destroy forensic evidence that would implicate you
0:53:48 > 0:53:52- in the murder of Darren Gerson? - No. I don't know nothing about that.
0:53:52 > 0:53:53I just had a clear-out.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56According to your mobile phone, you received a call last night
0:53:56 > 0:53:59at 9:13 from Claudia Scott.
0:53:59 > 0:54:00So what?
0:54:00 > 0:54:04We know she told you that Darren remembered carrying the diamonds.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07I think after that phone call, you went to his house and killed him
0:54:07 > 0:54:10to shut him up once and for all.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Would you care to comment, Mr. Rendall?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19Think what you want, mate, doesn't make it true.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22OK, let's go back to 2006.
0:54:30 > 0:54:32Where the hell have you all been?
0:54:32 > 0:54:34Out.
0:54:34 > 0:54:35Every single one of you?
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Yeah, something came up.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41Get me Detective Chief Superintendent Pullman, now.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45She's interviewing a suspect.
0:54:50 > 0:54:55Come on, admit it, you ran Darren down. Then took the package of uncut diamonds from his courier bag
0:54:55 > 0:54:58and delivered them to the Berwick Street flat and gave them to Peter Collins.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01I have no idea what you're talking about.
0:55:01 > 0:55:05Claudia Scott told us you didn't even wipe Darren's blood off the package.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09- Apparently the diamonds were covered in it.- Why should he have done?
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Not only had you seriously injured their pet courier,
0:55:12 > 0:55:15so they needed you again, you were sending them a message -
0:55:15 > 0:55:19telling them in no uncertain terms that you weren't going to sit back and let them cut you out.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23That if they were going to continue smuggling conflict diamonds into the country,
0:55:23 > 0:55:27they'd better include you, or face the consequences.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30Sounds like Claudia Scott's been telling lies about me.
0:55:30 > 0:55:31Don't think so.
0:55:31 > 0:55:34How could I run him down if I was manning the desk at the time?
0:55:34 > 0:55:38Ah! We spoke to the other operator, Jodie.
0:55:38 > 0:55:42She said that you left the office hours before the hit and run.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46And that she was the one who took the call saying Darren was hurt.
0:55:46 > 0:55:47Not you.
0:55:48 > 0:55:49Is she lying as well?
0:55:54 > 0:55:57I don't appreciate the way you went about this.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59Just making sure that the killer was apprehended.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02And I'm just supposed to accept that, am I?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04You'll do what you have to do.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08The only reason I'm not having this conversation with your commanding officer
0:56:08 > 0:56:11is it makes us, as female officers, look bad.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14You can have this conversation with whom ever you want.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39We did everything possible.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41And she gets to finish it.
0:56:41 > 0:56:43DCI Temple knows.
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Knows what?
0:56:45 > 0:56:48That we know, that she knows, that she didn't earn it.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49True.
0:56:51 > 0:56:52God give me strength.
0:57:04 > 0:57:08I've just had an e-mail from Samantha Gerson's boss at the research centre.
0:57:08 > 0:57:09What did she say?
0:57:09 > 0:57:12They've cancelled your involvement in the OMIP study.
0:57:12 > 0:57:13Oh, no. Why?
0:57:13 > 0:57:18I don't know, it just says "abnormal sample group".
0:57:19 > 0:57:23But I allowed them unrestricted access to my mind.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26Not sure the scientific community's ready for that, Brian.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Not sure any community is.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34# It's all right, it's OK
0:57:34 > 0:57:37# Doesn't really matter if you're old and grey
0:57:37 > 0:57:43# It's all right, I say it's OK Listen to what I say
0:57:43 > 0:57:45# It's all right, doing fine
0:57:45 > 0:57:48# Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine
0:57:48 > 0:57:50# It's all right, I say, it's OK
0:57:50 > 0:57:52# We're getting to the end of the day. #
