0:00:02 > 0:00:04# It's all right It's OK
0:00:04 > 0:00:06# Doesn't really matter If you're old and grey
0:00:06 > 0:00:08# It's all right I say it's OK
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# Listen to what I say
0:00:11 > 0:00:13# It's all right, doing fine
0:00:13 > 0:00:16# Doesn't really matter If the sun don't shine
0:00:16 > 0:00:19# It's all right I say it's OK
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# We're gettin' to the end of the day. #
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Look at that!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Where'd you get all this gear?
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Your old department sent them down.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They've been digitising all their archive files
0:00:33 > 0:00:35so they don't need these hard copies any more.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Oh! Look, look, look.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41That bloke was nicked two minutes after this picture was taken.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Mind you, it took six of us to get him down to the station.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Yeah, he thought he was my best mate and all.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Didn't know what was coming. - What was coming?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Ten years for possession.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- And silverfish.- Eh?
0:00:53 > 0:00:56These tiny perforations. They're made by silverfish.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Tiny little insects that live in records offices and libraries.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Like a good read, do they?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03No, they like the starch in paper.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Didn't know you were a shell suit man, Gerry?
0:01:05 > 0:01:06THEY LAUGH
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Yeah, well, I was undercover, wasn't I.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09In luminous green and purple?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10THEY LAUGH
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Yeah, it was the '80s.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13But where was the op? The local leisure centre?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Now, it was a big drugs bust, if you must know.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18He looks like such a babyface.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Look, you think Scarface and double it, eh.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- I tell you, the whole gang were wearing that gear.- Morning.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- Hello, Guv'nor.- Morning. - What have you got there?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Electricity bills, bank statements, letters.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- All belonging to different people, and all recovered in a raid on a lock-up.- What were they doing there?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Serious and Organised were acting on a tip-off
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and they found a huge heroin stash,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38but also discovered a whole stockpile of documents.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- These are just a sample. - Why pass them onto us?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Well, several are covered with the fingerprints of a man murdered five years ago.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Friday the 13th. Unlucky for some,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and particularly unlucky for Max Klein.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54A 55-year-old East German immigrant
0:01:54 > 0:01:56who was something of a mystery.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59After his murder, an appeal for information brought eyewitness reports
0:01:59 > 0:02:01of Max standing at this location,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04which led the investigators to look at CCTV.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07A review of the footage found that, prior to his death,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Max was at the same spot every morning for nearly six months
0:02:11 > 0:02:12from 7am to 10am.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Every morning?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15What was he looking for?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Or who was he looking for?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18They never found that out.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23They also didn't find out why on this particular day, he left early.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Four hours later, a passer-by stumbled upon him bleeding to death.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31He was about half a mile from a set of communal garages
0:02:31 > 0:02:33where later, traces of his blood were found.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So he was stabbed at the garages, then tried to get away.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Yeah. When the paramedics got to him, he was still conscious.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Don't suppose he mentioned who stabbed him?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Must have slipped his mind.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47However, he did keep repeating the same two words again and again until he died, in German.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49They translated as - "blue flower."
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- What does that mean?- Maybe he wanted irises at his funeral.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54"Blue flower" brought up several thousand results,
0:02:54 > 0:02:59- but nothing conclusive, and nothing connected to Klein.- What about the knife he was stabbed with?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01No murder weapon recovered. No eyewitnesses.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- No friends or relatives? - None.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06This guy was like a ghost before he even died, eh?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07So what's going on here?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11These documents have all been torn up and stuck back together again.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yeah, Max worked at a recycling centre.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So people tear up their confidential papers, recycle them
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and Max here is, what, piecing them together?
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Well, he had the skills because, before he came to the UK in 2005,
0:03:22 > 0:03:24he worked for the German Government as a puzzler.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Puzzler?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I've read about them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32When the Berlin Wall fell, they went into panic mode on the Eastern side.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And the Stasi started shredding all the documents
0:03:34 > 0:03:36they'd been keeping on their own citizens.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37Trying to bury their secrets.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Yeah, and the puzzlers were East German civil servants
0:03:40 > 0:03:42whose job it was to reassemble those files.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44What, by hand? Must've taken them years.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Yeah, it did.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48So Max was a dab hand at reading the garbage.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51So let me get this straight, this guy tries to piece together
0:03:51 > 0:03:53the truth about one of the most repressive regimes in the world.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Then, he comes here and uses those same skills to...steal people's bank statements?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59It seems like it, yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Yeah, but he's been dead for five years. Why was all that stuff still in the lock-up?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Well, street gangs are now diversifying into ID theft.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So they can stockpile documents for several years.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Before garnering the information they find in them
0:04:11 > 0:04:14to take out fraudulent loans and buy stuff.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17So Max was supplying this stuff to whoever owned the lock-up?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19It's possible.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Right, this station is close to several office blocks,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26housing estates, amenities...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28That's a lot of footfall every morning.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Literally thousands during the peak hours.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And yet, none of the eyewitnesses who came forward had actually spoken to Max.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Why would they? This is a place you pass through, isn't it?
0:04:36 > 0:04:40You barely hang around long enough to breathe, let alone talk.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Let's take a look at that.- What?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Look at the date.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- 2006.- Yeah, and Max was here every morning from January to July 2007.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56So someone connected with this might have seen him?
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Excuse me, can I help you?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I am allowed to put flowers here. And the poster.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01It's a beautiful tribute.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- My solicitor's written to the Council about this. - Oh, we're not from the Council.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I'm Detective Superintendent Pullman and this is Steve McAndrew.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Hello.- It's a bit heavy-handed, isn't it?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12No, no. We're not here to stop you from doing anything.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13What are you doing, then?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17We're looking into the murder of a man named Max Klein.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Oh, yeah.
0:05:19 > 0:05:20You knew him?
0:05:20 > 0:05:24A little. We talked from time to time.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26My name's Grace Cusack.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- I'm sorry for being a bit short with you.- Don't worry.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32My last experience with the police wasn't exactly what you'd call positive.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Why not?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36They let a murderer go free.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Really, who was that?
0:05:37 > 0:05:42Damon Rapley. He was driving the cab that killed my son.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45And he's still driving it, can you believe that?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47He's still out there.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Living a normal life, like nothing happened.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51So he wasn't convicted?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52No.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57It was nearly six years ago and I still come here every morning.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58You probably think I'm mad.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Not at all.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Grace, is there somewhere we can talk properly?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05I'm just on my way to work.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08But you can come with me, if you like. Have a cup of tea.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Thank you.- Great.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Did you know Max Klein well, Mr Armitage?
0:06:18 > 0:06:19He was a picker.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Don't really get out on the shop floor myself.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26I tend to stay in here. Being strategic, see?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28What's a picker?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31They refine the recycling once it's been through the main sift.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Sort the paper from the plastics,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35the wood from the glass and the metal.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So he would have got his hands on all sorts of stuff?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39What's brought all this up again?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42We spoke to the police just after he died.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Some new evidence has come to light.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- What new evidence? - We're not at liberty to say.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49It's nothing to do with one of our other Eastern Europeans, is it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We employ a lot of them, you know.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52How come?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54They're bloody good workers.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57But who knows what baggage they bring with them from over there?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Actually, I tell you one thing they do bring.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01What's that?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Bed bugs. Especially the Poles.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06They seem to be riddled with them.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Bugs are probably getting pissed up on all that vodka in their blood, eh?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11HE CHUCKLES
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Actually, unlike some parasites you come across,
0:07:13 > 0:07:19the insect Cimex Lectularius is incapable of discrimination.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Is it all right if we take a look around?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Not at such short notice.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26Why not?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29This is a dangerous facility. We have strict regulations.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30How strict?
0:07:30 > 0:07:34You're talking Risk Assessments, Health and Safety forms.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Yeah, that's just red tape, innit?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Put a foot wrong out there and you could lose an arm.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Let me get everything sorted and you can come back next week.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Why? What's not going to be here next week?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I'll go and find our Site Manager, Corey.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58He knew Max and he can show you round.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Thank you.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Oh, thank you.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Thank you. Thanks a lot.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Is this your business?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10No. But I am the manager.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, manage myself, in truth.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14A whole team of one.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Must get a bit lonely.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Not really.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19There's a flower for every occasion,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21so I get to meet all kinds of people in this job.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23How did you meet Max Klein?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25He saw me one day.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26At the station?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Asked if I knew his daughter.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29His daughter?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32That's the reason he came to this country.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34He last saw her when she was a baby in 1987.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Why was that?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I only know what he told me.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Max and his wife tried to escape from East Germany.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57They didn't know it would only be two years
0:08:57 > 0:08:59before the Berlin Wall came down.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Sie kommen.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Imagine how that must have felt.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06The most delicate and precious thing in the whole world
0:09:06 > 0:09:09and it's surround by barbed wire and watchtowers.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11DOGS BARKING
0:09:11 > 0:09:16THEY SPEAK IN GERMAN
0:09:17 > 0:09:20'His wife knew it wouldn't be long before they were found.'
0:09:20 > 0:09:22DOGS BARKING
0:09:22 > 0:09:23'They had to do something.'
0:09:23 > 0:09:25SIREN WAILING
0:09:25 > 0:09:28'The hole wasn't big enough for an adult and then the alarm went up.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29'They had to make a choice.'
0:09:29 > 0:09:31PEOPLE SHOUTING
0:09:31 > 0:09:33BABY CRIES
0:09:38 > 0:09:41'They only had time to get their baby out?
0:09:41 > 0:09:45'Takes a bit of doing. Give your baby away like that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46'They were desperate.'
0:09:46 > 0:09:49They were going to be arrested. The baby would have been taken into state care,
0:09:49 > 0:09:53which would have meant suffering and abuse.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Max's wife made him promise to stay alive
0:09:57 > 0:10:01in the hope that one day he'd be free to come after their daughter.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03The Stasi held them for nearly two years.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08Max survived, but his wife died in a police cell.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10So he lost his whole family?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I could always see it in his eyes burning away.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Takes one to know one.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22What made him think that he'd find his daughter at the station?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24After the Wall came down, he went looking for her.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Worked in some kind of government office...
0:10:28 > 0:10:29He was a puzzler.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31That's it.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32He used the access that job gave him
0:10:32 > 0:10:34to try and find out where she'd gone.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36But the trail had gone cold.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39It took him 15 years to wade through all of the files
0:10:39 > 0:10:44and the paperwork until he found out they'd brought her to this country.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So that's why he came here in 2005?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Yes, by that time, one of the parents had died
0:10:49 > 0:10:52and the other had gone back to Germany.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53And the daughter?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58She got herself into all kinds of trouble, I think.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00But he did find someone who knew her
0:11:00 > 0:11:04and said she was living in Shepherds Bush.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06So that's why he went to the station every day
0:11:06 > 0:11:08when it was at its busiest. What was his daughter's name?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11First name...Mia.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Can't remember the surname. - Do you know if he ever found her?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17No. He died trying.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'll get onto the DNA guys.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22See if there were any hits between the original investigation and now.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23OK.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26TELEPHONE RINGS
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Can you think of any reason why somebody would want to kill Max?
0:11:30 > 0:11:31No.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33DOOR CLOSES
0:11:33 > 0:11:36That last Friday, he only stayed at the junction for ten minutes or so,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39whereas, all the other days, he'd been there for three hours.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Did he seem different to you?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I wasn't there that day. I wish I had been.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Were you interviewed at the time?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49I was away for a few weeks.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53And when I got back, well, they'd done everything they were ever going to do,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57they'd given him one of those terrible public health funerals.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Probably just assumed he was another knife crime.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I must say, Mr Murgins, as a keen recycler,
0:12:07 > 0:12:12it's very encouraging to see that something actually happens to all this stuff.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yeah, but, in the end, it all goes to China, doesn't it?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It goes to whoever pays the most.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Look at this lot.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23How many items do you reckon you get through here in an hour?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25I don't know. Thousands.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's a lot of paper, isn't it?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Where did Max Klein work?
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Up there.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Are there any pickers still around that would have known him then?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39None that'd be any good to you.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Why not?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Speak Polish, do you? Or Punjabi?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Yeah, must be hard making yourself understood
0:12:46 > 0:12:48with all these different nationalities.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51They understand me all right.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Did Max Klein understand you?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I've already told you, I've got an alibi for that night.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01That wasn't my question.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Max Klein worked here for 18 months.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07In that time, I didn't say more than two words to him.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09Perfect employee, then?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11For this line of work.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Do you mind if we have a look inside?
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Why would I?
0:13:29 > 0:13:34What happens if you find something confidential, like a bank statement?
0:13:34 > 0:13:38See it, shred it. Standard regulation.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And Max Klein would've done that, would he?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Should've done.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46But, as his supervisor, it was your responsibility to make sure he did.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48What are you saying?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Well, I'm saying that...
0:13:50 > 0:13:54what if some of the pickers don't follow the regulations?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57What's to stop them just stashing a load of stuff
0:13:57 > 0:13:58and taking it home with them later?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01We don't just leave stuff lying around.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03They get checked when they clock off their shift.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Who by?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Me.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13Yeah, well, thanks, it's been very helpful. Is there a gents' nearby?
0:14:13 > 0:14:14This way.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Thanks.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22It's through there.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25All right, thanks. Won't be a moment.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You're going in together?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Unless there's a regulation about that as well.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Bloody hell, there's only one bog.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Get in.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Have you noticed how Stig of the hump's watching us all the time?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'm surprised he's not in here making sure we shoot straight.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- He's just being conscientious about health and safety, isn't he? - He's hiding something. And Armitage.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Mind you, we haven't seen anything to suggest
0:14:53 > 0:14:55that Max Klein wasn't acting alone.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Brian, how much stuff was stashed in that locker, that started all this?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01You don't honestly think that Max could have got all that out
0:15:01 > 0:15:03without Murgins turning a blind eye, do you?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07No, you're right. Murgins must be in on it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Or running it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Look, there's an awful lot of very valuable personal information
0:15:13 > 0:15:14going through this place.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It wouldn't be hard to take the odd bit out now and again, would it?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And sell it on the side to a gang who then use it when the dust's settled?
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Exactly. So we've got to find out what Murgins's hiding.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Have a look at his office.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28How do we do that with him on us all the time?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Dunno yet. Come on.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35This place looks like it wandered out of Drumchapel,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38went on a bender and ended up at the wrong end of the M6.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Asbestos towers. They're pulling it down in three days' time.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42They're doing it a favour.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Maybe it reminded Max of East Berlin, eh?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Corey give you everything you need?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- Yes.- Yes, very, very helpful. Very helpful indeed.
0:15:56 > 0:16:02I...I have further questions to ask, but my colleague needs to get back
0:16:02 > 0:16:07to the office to do some...office stuff.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Of course.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I'll see myself out. Thanks very much.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:16:16 > 0:16:18HE CHUCKLES
0:17:04 > 0:17:08VOICES IN THE BACKGROUND
0:17:08 > 0:17:10< You're all right, give him a couple of minutes.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27So they found nothing in here first time around, eh?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29No. And that was a bit odd,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32because it was almost as empty then as it is now.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36You know, it's the French philosopher Pascal said
0:17:36 > 0:17:39that all man's misery derives from not being able
0:17:39 > 0:17:40to sit in one room alone.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You've been spending too much time with Brian Lane.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44HE CHUCKLES
0:17:44 > 0:17:47So look, Max's body is found half a mile away
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- from the garages where he was stabbed, right?- Yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Well, half a mile's a marathon when you're suffering from a stab wound.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- He must have been in agony.- What's your point?- Why didn't he stay put?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Cry out for help. He must have been so desperate to get somewhere,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- he put up with that amount of pain. - Maybe he was going for help.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04OK, would you say, from where he was found,
0:18:04 > 0:18:06he was trying to get back to here?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- I suppose so. But coming back to what?- Yeah.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13HE SIGHS
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Silverfish?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Pardon?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Oh, yeah, Brian was telling us they're tiny little insects, right?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22And they live off...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You're right, I've been working with Brian for too long.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- OK, let's try looking at things from a broader perspective.- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Max Klein loses his wife, loses Mia.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36He spends two years in a Stasi cell until the Berlin Wall comes down.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40And then, he spends the next 15 years at a government office
0:18:40 > 0:18:42trying to work out where Mia's gone.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- He makes his way to the UK. - Gets a job in the recycling centre.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Continues his search for Mia...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Whilst ripping off electricity bills in his spare time.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Is there something else driving this guy?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Let's go and check out those garages.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- This place gives me the creeps.- OK.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Was he meeting someone? - Whoever's picking up those bills?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Could be.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Now, traces of his blood were found all around here.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14OK, so there's a struggle. Maybe a dispute over money,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Max gets stabbed, takes off that way.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Now, that, look, that cut through, that could lead you back towards Max's flat.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24He could have been going back, but it doesn't alter the fact there was nothing to go back for.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27There's got to be. What about the lock-ups? They must be rented to people in the estate.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30No. The leaseholder list was checked and no connection was found.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31TELEPHONE BEEPS
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I see why they had so much trouble with this one.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Let's hope the boys come up with something.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Amen to that. Hey, Strickland's looking for you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Ah, great(!)
0:19:39 > 0:19:42This is DCI Rosser from the Economic and Specialist Crime Unit.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Detective Superintendent Pullman.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45To what do I owe the pleasure?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50There's been something of an administrative mix-up between them,
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Serious and Organised and ourselves.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Mix-up?- A parallel investigation.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57We haven't been informed about the recovery of documents from that lock-up.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- I don't follow.- I understand that after studying the documents,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03you've taken a keen interest in the Clays Lane Recycling Centre.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04And how do you know that?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Because I've had a man inside there for three weeks now.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- Everything had been going smoothly until two of your pensioners came this morning.- Pensioners?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13That's what they are, aren't they?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17They're professionals doing a job and you'd do well to remember that, DCI Rosser.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I don't mean any disrespect, Detective Superintendent.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23But your professionals are jeopardising a major investigation
0:20:23 > 0:20:27into what could be one of the UK's leading identity fraud rings.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29They're asking legitimate questions about a murder.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31My priority is with the living.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34I'm sorry about your German. But he's been gone five years.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I don't know how you run things in your unit, DCI Rosser.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42But here, compassion for the dead doesn't just disappear
0:20:42 > 0:20:44because a few years have passed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46My point is - his troubles are over.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'm trying to apprehend criminals who are ruining lives as we speak.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51And I'm trying to apprehend a murderer.
0:20:51 > 0:20:56- My team are on the frontline of the UK's fastest growing crime. - Blimey, you sound like a salesman.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Identity theft cost the UK economy over a billion pounds last year.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01And there were over a hundred thousand victims...
0:21:01 > 0:21:04Do you have all this on some kind of colour-coded wall chart?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's not a wall chart. It's an interactive smart board.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08Nice(!)
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Are we supposed to stand down, Sir?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Stay away from that place until DCI Rosser's investigation is complete.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm sure you have other leads.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19HE CHUCKLES
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Mr Strickland.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28What was all that about?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Ah, Guv'nor, good news.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32There's something going on at that recycling centre
0:21:32 > 0:21:34and Max Klein is up to his neck in it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Bad news. Strickland's warned us off.- Why?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41That was the delightful DCI Rosser from Economic and Specialist Crime.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- What's that when it's at home? - One of those fashionable, well-financed units
0:21:45 > 0:21:47at the frontier of modern crime, apparently.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Or something beginning with "F."
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Anyway, they're already investigating the recycling centre, so we've been told to stay away.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54But Guv'nor, I've got utility bills,
0:21:54 > 0:21:57bank statements, they're all bundled up there ready to sell on.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Gerry's right. We finally get a decent break in the case
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- and we're supposed to ignore it? - Work round it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I've been looking into Max Klein's last words - "Blue flower."
0:22:05 > 0:22:06And?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09The original investigation did a blanket search
0:22:09 > 0:22:10on the term "Blue flower,"
0:22:10 > 0:22:14which is why they ended up with poetry groups and estate agents.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17But I applied a number of filters to the search,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21like "East Germany," "the Berlin Wall," "Cold War..."
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Brian, we're not getting any younger here.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26The Blue Flower Blog documents the history
0:22:26 > 0:22:31of the most successful protest organisation in East Germany.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Blue Flower spies infiltrated all the communist institutions
0:22:35 > 0:22:37right up until the regime collapsed.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41"Members of Blue Flower married their way into the Government,
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- "the military, even the Stasi." - The Stasi? That was ambitious. - They wanted to end the oppression.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46TELEPHONE RINGS
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- They'd have done anything.- Sorry.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Yeah? Wait a sec. Yeah, go on.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51What's this got to do with Max's murder?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Well, he was an East German, wasn't he?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Yeah, and he was arrested when trying to escape.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57So maybe he was a member of Blue Flower.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00OK, thanks a lot. Guv.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Max's daughter, Mia Adler, she's on the DNA database.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Why wasn't this pointed out before?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- She was arrested for breaking and entering six months after the murder.- Address?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- They gave me the address of where she was at the time of the break-in. - Let's go.- Great.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18This is it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Hi. Mia Adler?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Can you give me a second?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34OK.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42She's doing one!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Ah! Shit! Wait there.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52Mia!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Mia! Come on, running away's never the answer.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I've done it myself, believe me.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Hey, Mia! Hey! Mia, come on.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Come on, talk to me. Come on.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Hey, boys!
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Here!
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Here's a tenner. I'll give you another one when you catch that girl. Go on!
0:24:21 > 0:24:23HE PANTS
0:24:23 > 0:24:24She gave us a 50.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Bloody London prices.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Sorry, I lost her.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42That girl should wear a T-shirt saying "Troubled and dangerous."
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Well, it looks like she took her computer with her,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46but she left her insulin behind.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Troubled, dangerous and a diabetic, eh?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Yeah. What on earth is that?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Ah, it dropped out of her bag.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Looks like it was more important for her to take this than her insulin.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59What the hell...? What the hell...?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Hello.- Well, well.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06This memory stick contains the back-up files
0:25:06 > 0:25:08for the Blue Flower Blog.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Which means that Mia was behind it.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Yes, but I'm more interested
0:25:12 > 0:25:15in the folder of unpublished files she's got on here.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18They're Stasi reports.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21All about one particular member of the Blue Flower group.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23A woman who tried to flee the border in 1987
0:25:23 > 0:25:25after they discovered her identity...
0:25:28 > 0:25:33That woman was Alicia Klein, Max Klein's wife and Mia's mother.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37Only there's a big difference between what's written in these reports
0:25:37 > 0:25:40and what Grace Cusack told us.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Alicia was trying to smuggle herself and Mia out.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Max wasn't with them.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47So are you saying that Grace lied?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49More likely Max lied to her.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Why would he do that?- To hide the fact that his wife wasn't trying to escape with him.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56She was trying to escape from him.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59DOGS BARKING
0:25:59 > 0:26:00SIREN WAILING
0:26:02 > 0:26:04BABY CRIES
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Max Klein wrote these reports. These are his words.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17He tracked down and arrested his own wife that night.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Max Klein was in the Stasi?!
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Imagine the rage he must have felt.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Knowing she'd only married him to get inside information.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And here she was, trying to run.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29HE BLOWS THE WHISTLE
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Taking away the child they'd had together...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37So his marriage, his family...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It was all a lie?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Well, this was a world where children informed on their parents.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Nothing was sacred, anything was possible.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Yeah, but Max was a jigsawrer, wasn't he?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Puzzler.
0:26:48 > 0:26:49All right, puzzler.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52So, the Berlin Wall comes down and he goes back to the only place
0:26:52 > 0:26:56he should have stayed a million miles away from?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59The government offices where they're reassembling the files
0:26:59 > 0:27:01that the Stasi shredded?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Well, there's lots of stories of Stasi personnel
0:27:03 > 0:27:05infiltrating that particular office
0:27:05 > 0:27:07to bury their own crimes.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Rewrite history.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11So why didn't Mia publish that in her blog?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13If you'd just discovered that your father
0:27:13 > 0:27:16was responsible for your mother's death, would you publish it?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Not if you wanted to take revenge. - Exactly.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29That's why he stopped looking that day. He'd found her?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Or she'd found him.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Yeah, but hold on, hold on,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36if Alicia only had Mia to keep up the illusion
0:27:36 > 0:27:40of her marriage to Max, why would he then come looking for her?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Maybe that's something that Mia can tell us.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Where are we on Murgins by the way?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Oh, yeah, I've been checking this out.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- I found it in his office at the recycling centre.- Not this again!
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Sandra, this is a well-known hang out for a lot of very dodgy faces.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58I mean, it's a perfect place if you're going to sell documents.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59What? What is it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:00It's just a pub.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02But it'd be very easy to pop in there
0:28:02 > 0:28:05and check out who Murgins is actually meeting.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Gerry, we've been told to stay away. How many times?!
0:28:08 > 0:28:11From the recycling centre, yeah, but not from Murgins.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13He is a suspect.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And whoever he's meeting could be well involved too.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19All right. But keep your distance.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Actually, no, Steve, you go with him. And behave yourselves.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25As if we wouldn't.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Just a pub, eh?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, it's got a bar.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Oh, so there is, how long have we got?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Murgins should be here in about 20 minutes.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40That is an eternity in drinking time.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Hi, a couple of large ones, please.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Yeah, and a couple of pints of that London stuff.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46That's great, isn't it?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Takes me back to the old days
0:28:48 > 0:28:51of stings and stakeouts and secret identities.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53You pining for your shell suit?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56No, no. I'm just saying, it's good to get your hands dirty now and again.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Reminds you of what it's all about.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- We are, as they say, kicking it old school.- Yeah.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Eh, eh, eh, focus. We're supposed to be behaving ourselves, remember?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Don't you worry about me,
0:29:06 > 0:29:10in these situations I was always known as Captain OutStanding.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11I'm well focused.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Yeah, but focus on getting that down your neck. "Captain OutStanding?"
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Yeah, you know, like those superheroes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20"By day, he was Gerry Standing.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24- "At night..."- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get the picture. Slainte. - Cheers, mate.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25Oh, dear.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I wonder how the Guv'nor and Brian are getting on?
0:29:30 > 0:29:32On a stakeout, they'll be having a whale of a time.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36Sitting back, listening to some music, digging the sounds.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38HE CHUCKLES
0:29:38 > 0:29:41'I don't know. Is the tagliatelle made with meat?'
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Um, ich weiss nicht.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Ist die Tagliatelle mit Fleisch?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50'OK, I'll take the tagliatelle.'
0:29:50 > 0:29:53OK, ich nehme die Tagliatelle.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Maybe I was wrong. Maybe we've lost her altogether.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58'Ah, that is good.'
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Ah, das ist gut!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- I was enjoying that. - I could tell.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Well, I've got to practice.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06It's been years since my German O-Level.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Brian, we don't even know if she speaks German.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10And, even if she does, I very much doubt
0:30:10 > 0:30:13that vegetarian tagliatelle will be a topic of our conversation.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16I'm just trying to defrost my vocabulary, you know.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Just leave it in the freezer for now, will you?- Ha-ha, very witty.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21Suspect's arrived.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23'Copy that.'
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Can we talk now, please, Mia?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- So this geezer has got a sawn-off shotgun, right?- Yeah.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52But not only that. He's got a parrot on his shoulder.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- What?- You should have heard the language from the parrot.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Honestly, you wouldn't believe this beak on this bird.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02The bloke suddenly looks me in the eye and raises the shotgun.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06And I'm thinking, "Gerry, this is it for you, son, you've had it."
0:31:06 > 0:31:09And, suddenly, the parrot says...
0:31:09 > 0:31:10There he is.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12"There he is?" What?
0:31:12 > 0:31:14No, no. Murgins. There he is.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18That must be the guy he's selling to.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Wait a minute, wait a minute.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23That's the DCI who was at our place earlier?
0:31:23 > 0:31:24Rosser the Tosser!
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Hey, Gerry, I think that's a tad judgmental.
0:31:27 > 0:31:28You hardly know the bloke.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- The Guv'nor's going to love this. - But what's he doing here?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33You don't think he's in on it, do you?
0:31:37 > 0:31:38It's a sting.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- They're going to find out who he's doing business with.- Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47HE SHOUTS
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Oh, he's off!
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Come on, Gerry, you're Captain OutStanding. Do something!
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Oh, very smooth.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05Mr Murgins.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07By-bye, now.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Pullman's pensioners.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14You don't have to thank us. We were just passing.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16That was a suitably arthritic solution, I suppose.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19But don't worry, I won't be thanking you for it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Don't you speak to Captain OutStanding like that.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I'm afraid I don't speak Clapped Out and Retired at all.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Oh, but you're so fluent in Arsehole.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27HE CHUCKLES
0:32:27 > 0:32:30You've been instructed to stay away from our operation.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Lucky for you we were around. Otherwise, your man there
0:32:32 > 0:32:35would have nipped off on his rather sizeable toes.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I'll be speaking to Strickland in the morning.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Why don't you do that? Bum face!
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Are you all right? Gerry, total tosser.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Argh! Smell 'em a mile off.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Tosser radar, mate.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50- I say, time for another! - I think so.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Oh, hey, hey, hang on.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55So what did the parrot say? At the end of your story?
0:32:55 > 0:32:56- Oh, the parrot.- Yeah, yeah!
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- He's got the shotgun, right, and parrot here.- Yeah.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01And, suddenly, the parrot goes, "Wanker,"
0:33:01 > 0:33:04and nearly tears his ear off! So I nut him and nick him.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07THEY LAUGH
0:33:07 > 0:33:09We've read your father's reports.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10He wasn't my father.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13We've got a DNA test result that says otherwise.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Ooh, well, listen to you - a DNA test result.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18We wouldn't have found you without it.
0:33:18 > 0:33:24Max Klein wasn't even a human being, so how could he be anyone's father?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27All right, then. Your biological father. Is that better?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29He was a cancer!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33A tumour eating away at people's lives
0:33:33 > 0:33:35without them even knowing that he was there.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Till it was too late.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Is that what he did to your mother? Ate away at her life?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44No. No, she knew what he was all along.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48To think how much it must have hurt him when he found out.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Knowing that she'd almost beaten him at his own game.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Almost wasn't enough there, was it?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56He arrested her, had her interrogated.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Sounds like you're doing to me now.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00We're asking you questions. That's all.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04No. You're trying to exploit my emotions.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07You're angry. It's understandable.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11I'm not angry. No, I'm ecstatic!
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Elated, even. Can't you tell the difference?
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Finding out that he's dead.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18No, even better, that somebody else killed him.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21That he died in pain.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22HE BLOWS THE WHISTLE
0:34:22 > 0:34:27The thought of him just bleeding to death, all alone.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31I only wish I'd been there to watch it happen.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33See the light fade in his eyes.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Listen to the last breath as it passed between his lips.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41The way you're talking, you sound as though you killed him.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46I didn't even know he was in this country until you told me.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48You're telling us he never found you?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I didn't want to be found.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Where were you at the time of his death?
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Why don't you tell me, uh?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You seem to be such an expert on my movements.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00That's important to you, isn't it?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Privacy, anonymity.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Did you search my medical records as well?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah, I bet you did.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Where were you at the time of your father's murder?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14There's nothing that you won't exploit to get what you want, is there?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Memories, tragedies, even chronic illnesses.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20We just want to discover the truth.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23People like you don't care about discovering the truth!
0:35:23 > 0:35:27You only care about bending it, distorting it, making it all fit.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Hang on a minute. If the truth is so important to you,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33why didn't you publish your father's reports on the blog?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Because there are days
0:35:40 > 0:35:42when I still don't want to believe that it's true.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49She's got the motive.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- And the aggression. - She wishes she had killed him.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Yeah, but that's just it. She wishes she had.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58See if you can trace her movements over the past five years.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Maybe we can get her alibi, even if she doesn't want to give us one.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03What are you going to do?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Get her to see that she can trust us.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08Good luck.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Cheers.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13Thank you.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Would you like him back?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I know he means a lot to you.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Did you have him when you were little?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34It's the only thing of hers that I've got left.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Your mum?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40She was very beautiful. I saw her photo in the report.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42There's nothing beautiful about that.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44They took it.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46The Stasi?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49On the night he arrested her.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54You know, I don't even know what she looked like when she smiled.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58How did you get hold of those reports?
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Are you going to arrest me for that, too?- Just help me, Mia.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08In 2006, the German government started to digitise
0:37:08 > 0:37:10all the Stasi archives,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12but they have to be careful about what they put online.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Why?
0:37:13 > 0:37:18A lot of ex-Stasi are CEOs now. They're respectable men.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21If their names were out there in the public domain.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23If people knew what they'd done...
0:37:23 > 0:37:24So you hacked them?
0:37:24 > 0:37:26I wanted to know the truth.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28I want to know the truth, too.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30About what happened to your father.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32- Stop calling him that.- Sorry.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Could the people who smuggled you out have caught up with him?
0:37:38 > 0:37:42They were friends of my mother's, but they were still traffickers.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45The first thing they did
0:37:45 > 0:37:47was give me up to the West German adoption agency.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Your father could...
0:37:49 > 0:37:54Sorry. Max Klein couldn't have known about your blog, could he?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56No. I post anonymously.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Then, why do you think his last words were "Blue Flower?"
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Could have been some Stasi codeword.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08Or maybe he was full of regret over what he did to your mother.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10He wasn't capable of that.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12You read his reports.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15She became nothing more than an object to him.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19Something to be ground down, defeated.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25You know, I met someone who knew Max
0:38:25 > 0:38:29and he didn't sound at all like the monster you're describing.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32SHE SIGHS
0:38:32 > 0:38:35You really don't know who you're dealing with, do you?
0:38:36 > 0:38:37OK.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44If you can think of anything
0:38:44 > 0:38:47that might explain what your father's last words meant,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I want you to contact me, OK?
0:38:53 > 0:38:54All right, you can go now.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07What were Gerry and Steve doing in that place, Sandra?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Following a legitimate lead.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11And I told you to keep your distance.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Yeah, from the recycling centre. Not from Murgins.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Max Klein was a picker for the racket that Murgins is running there.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Alongside scores of other equally unremarkable immigrants.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25Yesterday, we discovered that Klein was an ex-Stasi officer.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28I can assure you there was nothing unremarkable about him.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29With respect, you're reaching here.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34There could have been conflict between Murgins and Klein, especially if Murgins put him under pressure.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36I'd be happy to ask him about it for you.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I'll do my own asking, thank you. Let me speak to Armitage and Murgins.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- They're my suspects.- And mine.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42And it's my decision.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Sir, I need to know who Murgins has been selling these things to.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51And I am sure that Murgins has information on Klein's murder.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Talk to Murgins and Armitage. See what you can find.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01DOOR CLOSES
0:40:04 > 0:40:08So what really happened to Max Klein, Mr Armitage?
0:40:08 > 0:40:09I've given you an alibi.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12More of a lullaby, really. A baby might believe it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13If it didn't fall asleep first.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17So what's between you and Murgins? Did you start this scam or did he?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19I never meant for it to go this far.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20Ah, diddums.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24Straight up. I didn't know what he was up to.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Not at first.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Not until I needed the money.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Why did you need money?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33One of the girls on the floor got herself into trouble.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36You mean you got herself into trouble?
0:40:36 > 0:40:37If you like.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Well, either you did or you didn't.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42I didn't have the money for her to...
0:40:42 > 0:40:45take care of it, so Corey loaned it to me.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46That was big of him.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I didn't know where he'd got it from until it was too late.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So he was blackmailing you, was he? You're a poor soul, right enough.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Said if he ever went down, I was going down too.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Made you turn a blind eye?
0:40:57 > 0:41:01At first, he was just skimming one or two things off the line, but...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04as it got bigger, he needed me to keep the bosses off our backs,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06so that he could run the pickers.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08Bit off a bit more than he could chew with Max Klein, though?
0:41:08 > 0:41:12I knew that man was trouble the moment he arrived.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Two days before he died, he had a row with Corey.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- What about?- Don't know.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19Threats were exchanged.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Then it got physical.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22How physical?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25It's the first time I've ever seen anyone stand up to Corey.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27But Max put him in his place, did he?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Black eye. The works.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Corey was bloody furious.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37You had a fight with Max Klein two days before he was murdered,
0:41:37 > 0:41:38why was that?
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Armitage told you?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Afraid so.- He also told us it was the first time that anybody had got the better of you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Did that hurt your pride?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46It was nothing.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51Nothing? You told us that you'd barely had two words with Max Klein.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54I bet that row had more than two words in it, didn't it?
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Was it over money?
0:41:56 > 0:41:57He never wanted money, all right?
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Why was that?
0:41:59 > 0:42:00I don't know.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02All the pickers get a taste.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Not much, but a fiver's a fortune to them.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07But he wouldn't even take that.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08He just drew his basic salary.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Hold on, hold on. So why was he helping put back together torn-up bills
0:42:12 > 0:42:14if he wasn't earning out of it?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Cos he knew if he didn't do the work, I wouldn't trust him.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Besides, it was the best job he could get in this country.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Did he ever have any contact with the people you sell to?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27No. Why would he?
0:42:27 > 0:42:29So why did you have a fight?
0:42:31 > 0:42:32He wanted that Friday off.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- The Friday he died? - Yeah. He said it was vital.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- But you wouldn't let him?- No.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40Why did it get physical?
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Why do you think?
0:42:42 > 0:42:44He threatened to expose you, didn't he?
0:42:44 > 0:42:46But you must have climbed down,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48because he was supposed to be working at the time of his death.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51I didn't climb down.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52He never showed up for his shift.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55I never saw him again.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Why was that particular Friday so important to Max?
0:43:00 > 0:43:04I don't know. I always thought it might be something to do with the cabbie.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Cabbie?
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Yeah, he came down to the centre looking for Max.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11A day or two before we had our...
0:43:11 > 0:43:14disagreement.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17Geezer seemed pretty steamed up. They started pushing each other about.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Can you remember his name?
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Ripley?
0:43:22 > 0:43:26No, Rapley. Something Rapley.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Grace Cusack told us that her son was run over
0:43:32 > 0:43:35by a cabbie called Damon Rapley.
0:43:35 > 0:43:38But why would Rapley go and see Max at the recycling centre?
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Well, Grace is obviously the connection,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43but I haven't got a clue where or how or why.
0:43:44 > 0:43:47Grace's boy was playing chicken across the road with his pals.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49And this Damon Rapley
0:43:49 > 0:43:52just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
0:43:52 > 0:43:55It says here that he's a leaseholder on one of those garages.
0:43:55 > 0:43:58- There was a black cab parked there, remember?- Oh, yeah.
0:43:58 > 0:44:01Yeah, Murgins said he saw Rapley at the recycling centre with Max.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04And he parks his cab close to where Max was stabbed.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06What's this about an injunction?
0:44:06 > 0:44:09Grace could never accept the accident verdict and she threatened Rapley.
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Letters, phone calls, the works.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Grace talked a lot to Max. Could she have told him about all this?
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Well, she volunteered quite a bit when we met her, didn't she.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20Even called Rapley a murderer.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25Maybe Max got Rapley to go to the recycling centre,
0:44:25 > 0:44:27to get revenge for Grace.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31Would you describe yourself and Max as close?
0:44:31 > 0:44:33Not close, exactly.
0:44:33 > 0:44:34Then what?
0:44:34 > 0:44:36I think we understood each other.
0:44:36 > 0:44:37How do you mean?
0:44:39 > 0:44:42In a way, we'd both had the same experience.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44We'd both lost a child.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Only, he had the chance to try and find his again.
0:44:47 > 0:44:48Where is this going?
0:44:48 > 0:44:51Did you ever tell Max how you felt about Damon Rapley?
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Of course.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56But how does me telling him how I felt have to do with his murder?
0:44:56 > 0:45:00Well, we think he might have gone after Rapley.
0:45:00 > 0:45:01Why?
0:45:01 > 0:45:03You wanted revenge, didn't you?
0:45:04 > 0:45:06I never told Max that.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08Yeah, but you might not have needed to.
0:45:09 > 0:45:11SHE SIGHS
0:45:11 > 0:45:15I've learned to live with what he did to my son.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18I can't deal with the thought of him hurting Max, too.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23- My governor said you wanted a word. - Mr Rapley?- Yep.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27Detective Superintendent Pullman. This is Brian Lane, UCOS.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30- Yeah, got you a cup of tea, mate. - Great, thanks for that. Look, I don't mean to be rude,
0:45:30 > 0:45:33but if we can we make this quick, I've got an airport pick-up.
0:45:33 > 0:45:36Do you remember going to this man's place of work
0:45:36 > 0:45:38on the 12th of July 2007?
0:45:38 > 0:45:41- Is this about her? - Who do you mean by "her"?
0:45:41 > 0:45:43Grace Cusack. He kept pestering me about her.
0:45:43 > 0:45:44Why?
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Wanted me to apologise.
0:45:46 > 0:45:49Had this mad idea it would make things better.
0:45:49 > 0:45:50Why didn't you do it?
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Because it would have had the opposite effect.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55- How so?- She'd have seen it as an admission of guilt.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59And we'd never have been over it. She's not the only one who's suffered, you know?
0:45:59 > 0:46:01She lost her only child.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Yeah, who stepped out in front of me.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07I couldn't do anything about it.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09You said that Max had been pestering you.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12How long had that gone on before you went to his recycling centre?
0:46:12 > 0:46:16Couple of weeks, give or take. He got more threatening.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18I went to warn him off.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20But if you knew he was speaking to you on Grace's behalf,
0:46:20 > 0:46:23why didn't you call it in? Let the police handle it?
0:46:23 > 0:46:25It was a breach of the injunction, wasn't it?
0:46:25 > 0:46:27He was very clever about that.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29He said he was doing it all without her knowledge.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31That she didn't know anything about it.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34Did he say why he'd taken up her cause?
0:46:34 > 0:46:37He was sure there was going be a disaster if I didn't apologise.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40What with the anniversary of her son's death. One year.
0:46:40 > 0:46:41What kind of disaster?
0:46:41 > 0:46:43She was going to do something drastic.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- To herself?- I don't know.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Why didn't you say anything about this at the time?
0:46:47 > 0:46:50I mean, you must have been aware of Max Klein's murder.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Because I'm not stupid. I know what it looks like.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56What does it look like?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Are you going to charge me with something?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Otherwise, I really have to go.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Can you tell us where you were on the day he died?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05- Working.- We'll be checking that. - Fine.
0:47:05 > 0:47:06Thanks for the tea.
0:47:13 > 0:47:17Grace said that she always goes to the junction first thing.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19But not on the day Max was murdered.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Well, what about this?
0:47:21 > 0:47:25Max is waiting and he sees that Grace isn't there,
0:47:25 > 0:47:27so he goes after Rapley,
0:47:27 > 0:47:30there's a struggle, but it's Max who gets stabbed.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Why didn't Rapley just own up? Say it was self-defence?
0:47:32 > 0:47:35Cos he was seen at the recycling centre a couple of days before.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38That and his history with Grace could all add up to premeditation.
0:47:38 > 0:47:43So we need something more than this. Something that puts Max and Rapley together at those garages.
0:47:43 > 0:47:47Well, I've talked to his cab company, and they're sending over the records for that day.
0:47:47 > 0:47:50What did the original investigation turn up at Max's flat?
0:47:50 > 0:47:53Just a bed and a few possessions. And some of your silverfish.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55Silverfish? Well, that makes sense.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57It does?
0:47:57 > 0:47:59When a Stasi man goes after somebody,
0:47:59 > 0:48:02they usually have a system, a method.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05They gather all kinds of material before they confront them.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07Observation reports. Photographs.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09Even scent samples.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11What's scent got to do with it?
0:48:11 > 0:48:14Well, my point is that Max was looking for his daughter.
0:48:14 > 0:48:17And he had a surveillance routine at that junction.
0:48:17 > 0:48:19And he stuck to it like clockwork.
0:48:19 > 0:48:22So if Max was going after Rapley on Grace's behalf,
0:48:22 > 0:48:25there would have been material, surveillance research, that kind of thing.
0:48:25 > 0:48:26And paperwork.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Max's flat was virtually empty.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32- But the original team didn't know he was Stasi, did they?- So?
0:48:32 > 0:48:35So they didn't know that the one thing a Stasi man would do
0:48:35 > 0:48:39is go to incredible lengths to hide things.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Walls, pipes, floorboards.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44Secrecy was a way of life for these people.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47So it hasn't changed since Klein lived here.
0:48:47 > 0:48:48No.
0:48:48 > 0:48:49Oh!
0:48:49 > 0:48:51HE LAUGHS
0:48:51 > 0:48:54- Do you want to share the joke?- Look at the wallpaper. It's all flowers.
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Hello? Gerry calling team?
0:48:56 > 0:48:58Blue flower?
0:48:58 > 0:48:59They're pink.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01Well, maybe there's a blue one somewhere.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03HOLLOW BANGING
0:49:03 > 0:49:04Hang on a minute.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06This is a stud wall, right?
0:49:06 > 0:49:10- Yeah.- Well, look, the wall's far too close to the window.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13I reckon this room's short by at least four feet.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15Gerry, let's get this wardrobe out.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17It's on wheels.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23Oh, well done, Gerry. Look.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Blue flower.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29It's been coloured in with felt tip.
0:49:30 > 0:49:32- Oh!- What the...
0:49:32 > 0:49:35Careful, Guv'nor.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44- Blimey!- Look!- Wow!
0:49:46 > 0:49:50Well, he'd been searching for his daughter for 17 years.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53He'd need structure, organisation.
0:49:53 > 0:49:58He'd want to make sure that this place was free from interference.
0:49:58 > 0:49:59Especially detection.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Secrecy was his second nature, wasn't it?
0:50:02 > 0:50:06You'd be paranoid about anybody discovering this lot.
0:50:06 > 0:50:10Well, I suppose when he knew he was dying, he was desperate for someone to discover the truth.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12Hence, the words "Blue flower."
0:50:12 > 0:50:15You know, they look really happy in these photos.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22Well, we might find some truth in here.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24This looks like his journal. It's in German.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28Oh, the last entry was on the day he died.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31Can you, can you read it?
0:50:31 > 0:50:34Give me a chance. My German is still thawing out.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37"Ich muss verhindern,
0:50:37 > 0:50:40"dass Grace Rapley verletzt."
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Verletzt...
0:50:42 > 0:50:45Oh, that's "hurting," to hurt.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48"I must stop Rapley hurting Grace."
0:50:48 > 0:50:51Time to bring him in.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Max Klein attacked you, didn't he?
0:50:53 > 0:50:55Why would he do that?
0:50:55 > 0:51:00Because Grace Cusack wanted revenge and he was going to get it for her.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03- Did he bring the knife or was it yours?- I was working that day, check with my company.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06- We did.- You were several minutes late for your first booking
0:51:06 > 0:51:09and that delay ties in with the time of Max Klein's murder.
0:51:09 > 0:51:11You want to know why I was late?
0:51:11 > 0:51:13I took the long way round.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16- Why?- I always take the long way round now.- Why?
0:51:16 > 0:51:19Ever since the accident, I don't want to go near that road ever again.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23Grace Cusack doesn't think I care about what happened to her boy,
0:51:23 > 0:51:25but OF COURSE I do.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27Then, why haven't you told her that?
0:51:27 > 0:51:29She needs someone to blame, don't you understand?
0:51:29 > 0:51:33It's the only way she can deal with this.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36And avoiding the road helps me forget.
0:51:37 > 0:51:43Every time I remember, it's like the guilt comes alive.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45I can feel it swirling around me now every time I talk about it.
0:51:45 > 0:51:50It's like, like...a big, black hole. But it's not inside me.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52I'm outside it.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57And one day, it's going to swallow me whole.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02But the accident investigation found you weren't at fault.
0:52:05 > 0:52:07You ever run over a child?
0:52:11 > 0:52:12It empties you.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Whether it's your fault or not.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23How did it go with Rapley?
0:52:23 > 0:52:25His alibi checks out. We've had to let him go.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Poor sod's in bits.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28So now, we're back to square one.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Stille! Stille! Mein Kopf ist geplatzt!
0:52:31 > 0:52:32Was ist das, Herr Brian?
0:52:32 > 0:52:36Look, with German, you can't just translate word by word,
0:52:36 > 0:52:38from left to right,
0:52:38 > 0:52:40you have to isolate the verb and work backwards.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42- It's like being back in school, innit?- Go on, Brian.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46So the verb "verletzt" would be used in both "Rapley hurts Grace"
0:52:46 > 0:52:49and "Rapley is hurt by Grace."
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Max wasn't trying to stop Rapley hurting Grace.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55He was trying to stop Grace hurting Rapley.
0:52:58 > 0:53:02Well, there's his cab, but where's he?
0:53:02 > 0:53:04- Something's wrong.- Eh?
0:53:06 > 0:53:08KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:53:08 > 0:53:10Grace? Grace?
0:53:10 > 0:53:11- It's locked.- Break it down.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14BANGING SOUND
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Grace? Grace, can you hear me?
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Have you taken these, Grace?
0:53:20 > 0:53:22I'll get the medics.
0:53:22 > 0:53:23SHE SOBS
0:53:23 > 0:53:25- Is he gone?- Who?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27Is Rapley gone?
0:53:28 > 0:53:31- He's still got a pulse. - Yeah, I'll get an ambulance.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37Max knew what I wanted to do.
0:53:37 > 0:53:38SHE CRIES
0:53:38 > 0:53:40He kept trying to talk me out of it.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45I was trying to avoid him.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48And that's why he didn't go to the junction that morning.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53I was waiting at the garages for Rapley, but Max caught up with me.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57He tried to take the knife.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01I just wouldn't let it go.
0:54:03 > 0:54:08The next thing I knew, he was on the floor...
0:54:08 > 0:54:10saying those words.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12Blue flower.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14He was a good man.
0:54:14 > 0:54:16I didn't want to hurt him.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- They're on their way.- OK.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27- You think she's going to be all right?- She'll live.
0:54:27 > 0:54:28Is that enough?
0:54:40 > 0:54:41I wanted to bring you here
0:54:41 > 0:54:44so that I could show you what your father's last words meant.
