CAR DOORS SHUT

0:00:110:00:13

-Careful, Dan.

-Oh, could you pass me that?

0:00:170:00:20

Right, darling. Fine.

0:00:200:00:21

Right, you take this one.

0:00:230:00:24

That's it.

0:00:240:00:26

There we go.

0:00:290:00:30

OK, just cast out slowly, Dan.

0:00:300:00:33

Just reel it.

0:00:410:00:43

Slowly, slowly, slowly...

0:00:460:00:48

How's it going?

0:00:480:00:49

Oh, no!

0:00:510:00:52

I hope I haven't burnt the sausages.

0:00:520:00:55

-Five minutes!

-OK.

0:00:550:00:57

RUSTLING IN THE UNDERGROWTH

0:01:090:01:13

Dan, in the car!

0:01:180:01:20

Just leave everything!

0:01:200:01:22

-Drive!

-Move! Move! Move!

0:01:220:01:24

-Quickly.

-Get in the car!

0:01:240:01:26

-DCI Sally Butcher.

-Thomas Chamberlain.

0:02:440:02:47

-This is Nikki Alexander.

-Hi.

0:02:470:02:49

Keep your eyes open.

0:02:490:02:50

Right now, we don't know if this was a targeted attack

0:02:500:02:53

or a case of mad gunman on the loose.

0:02:530:02:55

We have preliminary IDs from their wallets.

0:02:580:03:01

Chris Chandler and Kate Blair, both pronounced dead by paramedics.

0:03:010:03:05

Single entry wound to the temple.

0:03:060:03:08

Two entry wounds to the throat and chest.

0:03:090:03:12

DCI...

0:03:170:03:18

The driver's phone.

0:03:180:03:20

Thanks.

0:03:200:03:21

Get tech support to get the lock off.

0:03:230:03:26

Jack Hodgson, forensics.

0:03:260:03:27

DCI Sally Butcher.

0:03:270:03:30

Why do you suppose she's not in the front?

0:03:320:03:34

They obviously left in a hurry. Everything's been abandoned.

0:03:340:03:37

First responders said the engine was still running.

0:03:370:03:40

Enough time to get in the car, not enough to get away.

0:03:400:03:43

Something alerted them.

0:03:430:03:45

-Gunshots?

-They didn't stand a chance.

0:03:450:03:48

And we're back to mad gunman on the loose.

0:03:480:03:51

DS Malcolm Guillam, local CID.

0:04:240:04:27

DCI Sally Butcher. Where's your partner, DS Guillam?

0:04:270:04:31

Re-assigned. I'm retiring in a month.

0:04:310:04:33

Philippa!

0:04:340:04:36

You know the area, Malcolm?

0:04:360:04:38

Yeah. A little bit.

0:04:380:04:39

Good. Take DC Rule here and canvass all nearby properties for witnesses.

0:04:390:04:44

Malcolm.

0:04:480:04:49

Butcher!

0:05:210:05:23

Might have a third victim.

0:05:260:05:28

Three plates, three stools and this...

0:05:280:05:30

A kid's phone.

0:05:300:05:31

Freshly-trod path.

0:05:410:05:43

Could be the shooter.

0:05:430:05:45

Could be a fleeing victim.

0:05:450:05:46

OK. Good to know.

0:05:500:05:52

We need boots on the ground, so we'll take anyone and everyone.

0:05:520:05:55

We may have a gunman on the loose.

0:05:550:05:57

Kevin Ivers. Electrician.

0:05:580:06:00

Says he heard shots about 1pm, but he thought nothing of it,

0:06:000:06:03

because the Army trains in the hills.

0:06:030:06:05

OK.

0:06:050:06:06

Better verify that, hadn't we?

0:06:080:06:10

ENGINE STARTS

0:06:120:06:13

They made it to the water.

0:06:280:06:30

0:07:460:07:47

-Ah.

-Molly! Molly!

0:07:520:07:53

Sorry to bother you.

0:07:530:07:54

We're investigating a shooting

0:07:540:07:56

-that took place this morning down by the river.

-A shooting?

0:07:560:07:59

-Mm.

-My God. Is anyone hurt?

0:07:590:08:02

Hm.

0:08:020:08:03

Have you seen or heard anything out of the ordinary, Miss...?

0:08:030:08:07

Claudia.

0:08:070:08:08

-Claudia Baxter.

-Mm-hm.

0:08:080:08:10

I did see a car this morning that I didn't recognise.

0:08:100:08:14

And that's a rare occurrence?

0:08:140:08:15

Well, we're pretty cut off up here.

0:08:150:08:17

-What time was this?

-About 12, 12.30. I was walking the dog.

0:08:170:08:20

What can you tell us about the car?

0:08:200:08:22

The driver seemed lost.

0:08:220:08:23

I thought about asking if he needed directions, but then he sped up.

0:08:230:08:26

You think you might recognise him again?

0:08:270:08:30

I suppose I might, yeah.

0:08:300:08:32

He must've seen everything.

0:08:360:08:38

He might even be able to ID our killer.

0:08:380:08:40

If he pulls through.

0:08:400:08:41

The killer may not know he survived.

0:08:440:08:47

I guess there's no chance we can keep that under wraps?

0:08:470:08:49

Unlikely.

0:08:490:08:51

We can try.

0:08:510:08:52

No confirmed sightings, but they are doubling the search teams.

0:09:000:09:04

Your boss is going to have the mother of all overtime bills

0:09:050:09:09

and sod all to show for it.

0:09:090:09:11

-Because it's not a nutcase with a gun?

-Yeah.

0:09:110:09:13

History tells us he would've shot someone else by now,

0:09:140:09:17

even if only himself.

0:09:170:09:20

-Aren't we going for coffee?

-Nah.

0:09:200:09:21

Tea and coffee taste exactly the same there.

0:09:210:09:24

So what are we doing here, Sarge?

0:09:240:09:26

You don't mind a bit of exercise, do you?

0:09:290:09:32

No, Sarge.

0:09:320:09:34

What we doing here, Sarge?

0:10:180:10:20

It's an old case.

0:10:210:10:22

You want to talk about it?

0:10:250:10:27

I don't think so, DC Rule.

0:10:270:10:29

Cos I never got the bastard who did it.

0:10:300:10:32

MONITOR BEEPS

0:10:480:10:50

Nice job, Amy.

0:11:090:11:11

Well done.

0:11:110:11:12

Thank you.

0:11:120:11:14

PHONE RINGS

0:11:180:11:21

Hello?

0:11:270:11:28

Amy, it's Simon Forsyth.

0:11:280:11:30

Long time no speak.

0:11:310:11:33

Simon! Hello...

0:11:340:11:36

Listen, Amy, I'll cut to the chase. I need a favour.

0:11:360:11:40

-OK...?

-Friend of mine's in a spot of bother.

0:11:420:11:45

Stomach wound, to be exact.

0:11:450:11:47

Look, can't you just take him to A & E?

0:11:510:11:53

I'm afraid not.

0:11:530:11:54

Look, I'm sorry. I can't help you, Simon.

0:11:590:12:02

Well, that's a bit disappointing.

0:12:020:12:04

I mean, given all the help I've extended to you over the years.

0:12:040:12:08

Medical school fees and so on...

0:12:080:12:10

Well, it's not like you got nothing in return.

0:12:100:12:13

Listen, Amy...

0:12:140:12:15

if I could avoid troubling you with this, I would. Honestly.

0:12:150:12:18

But...I can't.

0:12:180:12:20

I'm in a bit of a bind.

0:12:220:12:24

I'll text you the address.

0:12:260:12:28

Thank you.

0:12:380:12:40

Phone's registered to Chris Chandler.

0:12:410:12:44

Had a spin through his recent activity.

0:12:440:12:46

Three pictures taken on Thursday night stood out.

0:12:460:12:49

Can you see what I see?

0:12:510:12:53

I see bags of something white.

0:12:530:12:56

And a lot of it.

0:12:560:12:57

Those curtains could help with location.

0:12:570:12:59

What did Chandler do?

0:12:590:13:01

Accountant, according to DVLA records.

0:13:010:13:03

Well, maybe their records were out of date.

0:13:030:13:05

If he was dealing coke, that could be motive.

0:13:050:13:08

But what are the photos about?

0:13:080:13:10

-Want to help me give his house a once-over?

-You bet.

0:13:100:13:13

SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:13:320:13:35

-Hello, ma'am.

-Shona.

0:13:370:13:39

Security camera.

0:13:410:13:43

Alarm. A new lock.

0:13:430:13:44

A lot of security for a safe area.

0:13:440:13:46

-Kate Blair's sister - Anna. She's in a bad way.

-OK. Thanks.

0:13:470:13:50

Anna, can I ask you a question?

0:13:550:13:57

Your sister's boyfriend - Chris.

0:13:590:14:02

Did you get on with him?

0:14:020:14:03

Yeah.

0:14:050:14:06

He was great.

0:14:060:14:08

Why?

0:14:080:14:09

What kind of accountancy work did he do?

0:14:090:14:12

He worked for a software company.

0:14:120:14:14

Why are you asking me about Chris?

0:14:140:14:16

Was Chris involved in drugs?

0:14:160:14:18

What?!

0:14:180:14:20

Chris was the straightest guy you ever met.

0:14:220:14:25

I doubt he smoked a joint in his life.

0:14:250:14:27

So why do you think he installed the camera outside?

0:14:270:14:30

He didn't.

0:14:300:14:31

My sister did.

0:14:310:14:32

OK. Why did she install it?

0:14:340:14:36

Her ex.

0:14:360:14:38

Kate was going through a very ugly divorce.

0:14:380:14:41

What's her husband's name?

0:14:410:14:43

Miles Blair.

0:14:430:14:45

And is Miles Dan's biological father?

0:14:450:14:47

-Yeah.

-He's being notified as we speak, ma'am.

0:14:490:14:52

Then you need to be at the hospital when he gets there.

0:14:520:14:55

What did Miles do to warrant new locks and a camera?

0:15:000:15:04

He'd been hanging around the house.

0:15:050:15:07

Forced his way in a few times.

0:15:070:15:10

A couple of months ago, he turned up to take Dan out,

0:15:130:15:16

but Dan wasn't feeling well.

0:15:160:15:18

Miles went berserk.

0:15:190:15:21

He was convinced Dan was faking it and my sister had put him up to it.

0:15:210:15:24

It got so bad, Dan locked himself in the bathroom

0:15:250:15:28

and Miles kicked the door down.

0:15:280:15:29

And what happened?

0:15:320:15:33

I think, when he saw Dan hiding in the corner

0:15:330:15:37

crying his eyes out...

0:15:370:15:39

he came to his senses.

0:15:390:15:40

Kate turned 40 yesterday.

0:15:440:15:47

LOCK CLICKS OPEN

0:16:210:16:23

Butcher!

0:16:400:16:41

I need to see my son. Let me in the room, woman. I need to be with him.

0:16:470:16:49

I'm his father! I have rights!

0:16:490:16:51

Dan's been placed in a medically-induced coma...

0:16:510:16:53

Yeah, I'm not deaf! I heard what the doctor said.

0:16:530:16:55

He needs to hear my voice. You don't know what he can and can't hear!

0:16:550:16:58

-Mr Blair, you've had a terrible...

-Spare me the patronizing bullshit!

0:16:580:17:01

Mr Blair, if you want to help your son,

0:17:010:17:03

you need to let the medical staff do their jobs.

0:17:030:17:05

-Who the hell are you?

-Sally Butcher.

0:17:050:17:07

I'm leading the inquiry into your ex-wife's murder

0:17:070:17:09

and that of Mr Chandler.

0:17:090:17:11

Wife. We weren't divorced yet.

0:17:110:17:13

-Noted. I apologise.

-I don't want to talk to you.

0:17:130:17:15

Get the doctor back. I want to see my son!

0:17:150:17:18

Mr Blair, I am a doctor. And everything you said is correct.

0:17:180:17:21

People have woken from comas

0:17:210:17:23

and recalled not just the comfort of familiar voices,

0:17:230:17:26

but entire conversations word for word.

0:17:260:17:28

So it is crucial that we get you in there.

0:17:280:17:30

And as soon as he's stable, we will.

0:17:300:17:32

Mr Blair, we need to talk in private.

0:17:320:17:35

Dr Alexander?

0:17:410:17:43

Yes.

0:17:430:17:45

He's suffered a subdural haematoma.

0:17:450:17:47

Head and spinal injuries consistent with a trauma.

0:17:470:17:50

But he's stable.

0:17:500:17:51

What happens next is touch-and-go.

0:17:510:17:53

Do what you need to, but be gentle.

0:17:530:17:55

Of course.

0:17:550:17:56

-His clothes.

-Thanks so much.

0:17:560:17:58

We were getting divorced. What else do you need to know?

0:18:230:18:26

We heard there was an altercation involving a bathroom door.

0:18:260:18:30

-Shame on you.

-Excuse me?

0:18:310:18:34

My wife of ten years is dead.

0:18:340:18:37

My son's in a coma.

0:18:370:18:38

How dare you suggest I had anything to do with this?

0:18:380:18:40

Anna told you that, didn't she?

0:18:420:18:44

-Answer the question, please.

-OK. Yeah. I lost my rag, that's all.

0:18:440:18:48

And did what?

0:18:480:18:49

I kicked down the bathroom door.

0:18:510:18:52

We recovered this message from a locked drawer in your wife's house.

0:18:540:18:57

'Kate, I want to make something crystal clear to you.

0:18:580:19:01

'Call it fair warning, call it whatever the hell you want.

0:19:010:19:03

'I love my son. I know you think I don't, but I do.

0:19:030:19:06

'And if you keep coming between us,

0:19:060:19:07

'what happens next is as much on your head as it is on mine.

0:19:070:19:10

'I'll come at you with everything I've got.'

0:19:100:19:12

Can you confirm you left that message?

0:19:130:19:16

OK, ready to turn. Thanks.

0:19:200:19:23

-OK.

-Ready?

0:19:260:19:28

Yep.

0:19:280:19:30

There we are...

0:19:310:19:32

Right.

0:19:460:19:47

And you've never made an empty threat when you're angry?

0:19:550:19:58

Not quite like that, no.

0:19:580:19:59

Certainly not in such a volume.

0:19:590:20:01

"The words 'evil bitch' don't begin to do you justice.

0:20:030:20:06

"You are systematically brainwashing our son,

0:20:060:20:09

"turning him into a total stranger..."

0:20:090:20:11

OK! Enough!

0:20:110:20:13

What do you want me to say?

0:20:130:20:14

Where were you this afternoon between 12 and three?

0:20:160:20:19

At my flat.

0:20:190:20:21

-Alone?

-Yes.

0:20:210:20:22

I own a bar.

0:20:240:20:25

People who run bars are late to bed and late to rise. Are we done?

0:20:250:20:29

Almost.

0:20:290:20:30

When did you last see Kate?

0:20:310:20:33

A fortnight ago, when I dropped Dan off.

0:20:330:20:35

Amicable?

0:20:350:20:36

Very.

0:20:360:20:37

We hugged.

0:20:370:20:39

Can I go now?

0:20:410:20:42

-Anna did say things had mellowed.

-I know his species.

0:20:530:20:56

The kind who gives himself up to his rage

0:20:560:20:58

and only sees the damage when it's well and truly done.

0:20:580:21:00

The door's kicked in and someone's crying in the corner.

0:21:000:21:03

-Doesn't make him a killer, though.

-No, it doesn't.

0:21:030:21:06

And in most family annihilation cases,

0:21:060:21:08

the father turns the gun on himself.

0:21:080:21:10

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:21:100:21:12

Well...I'm done.

0:21:120:21:14

I can confirm that Dan wasn't shot.

0:21:160:21:17

And his major injuries come from falling in the river

0:21:170:21:20

and striking his head.

0:21:200:21:21

I found what I think is a bone fragment in his arm

0:21:210:21:24

that I expect comes from one of the other victims.

0:21:240:21:26

But he still got away?

0:21:260:21:28

When I broke the news to Miles,

0:21:310:21:33

-he said that Dan wasn't supposed to be there.

-What do you mean?

0:21:330:21:36

He was supposed to be at some football camp.

0:21:360:21:38

Why didn't you mention this before?

0:21:390:21:41

Sorry...

0:21:410:21:43

Everything just happened so fast.

0:21:430:21:45

If Miles expected Kate and Chris to be alone...

0:21:450:21:47

-Do you really think he shot them?

-Possibly.

0:21:470:21:50

Or he paid someone else to.

0:21:500:21:53

He runs a bar. Perfect job to make unsavoury contacts.

0:21:530:21:56

Well, if the gunman didn't expect Dan to be there,

0:21:580:22:00

it might explain his escape.

0:22:000:22:02

DOOR KEYPAD BEEPS

0:22:150:22:16

I'm here to see Mr Forsyth.

0:22:230:22:25

Look at you...

0:22:330:22:34

Not a day older.

0:22:340:22:36

Come here.

0:22:360:22:37

Let's get this over with, eh?

0:22:410:22:42

Please.

0:22:420:22:44

I've never been in the business of letting my friends down

0:22:450:22:48

and I don't intend to start now.

0:22:480:22:49

Reading between the lines, they'll wheel out the B-team

0:22:490:22:52

if I'm not part of the delegation.

0:22:520:22:54

I want to postpone. But only by a few days.

0:22:540:22:56

She's young. Does she know what she's doing?

0:23:020:23:05

-Listen, I'm more than happy to...

-She knows what she's doing.

0:23:050:23:08

-Do you have a sterilising kit?

-I don't know.

0:23:480:23:51

Do we?

0:23:510:23:52

Er, no, sir.

0:23:520:23:54

Then I'm going to need some cooled boiled water, a clean cloth,

0:23:560:24:00

a plastic bag and some paper towels, if you have them.

0:24:000:24:03

Thank you.

0:24:210:24:23

The damndest thing.

0:24:320:24:33

Tripped over the rug and fell on my own bottle.

0:24:340:24:37

I don't need to know. And I don't want to know.

0:24:370:24:39

Get on with it, then.

0:24:410:24:43

I'm going to need some light.

0:24:490:24:51

Are you done or what?

0:25:190:25:21

What the hell did that creep do, Simon?

0:25:270:25:29

-Did he hurt someone?

-Amy...

-I saw those scratches on his neck.

0:25:290:25:32

You were right first time. You don't want to know.

0:25:330:25:36

Why didn't you tell me that he was the patient?

0:25:370:25:39

-Because then you wouldn't have come.

-You're bloody right I wouldn't!

0:25:390:25:42

He didn't even recognise me.

0:25:450:25:47

No. No, I don't believe he did.

0:25:470:25:50

He needs a hospital, by the way.

0:25:520:25:54

I cleaned the wound, but there might be some debris deeper inside

0:25:540:25:57

and I'm not equipped to deal with it.

0:25:570:25:58

He may already have an intraperitoneal haemorrhage

0:25:580:26:01

and it could be fatal.

0:26:010:26:03

In that case, I need you to be on standby if he deteriorates.

0:26:040:26:07

I'm not covering up for him, Simon.

0:26:070:26:09

I've just told you, I'm not equipped to do that.

0:26:090:26:11

Then we will source a secure, well-stocked clinic where you are.

0:26:110:26:15

You're such an arsehole, Simon.

0:26:150:26:17

I'm sorry to drag you into this.

0:26:170:26:20

You're not sorry enough to find someone else.

0:26:200:26:22

There is no-one else.

0:26:220:26:24

-Not with your skill and discretion.

-Oh, just don't!

0:26:240:26:26

And not with our history.

0:26:260:26:29

Thanks, Amy.

0:26:370:26:39

Hello. I just want to check

0:27:140:27:16

that I got all the evidence from the River Malt crime scene.

0:27:160:27:20

Seem to be missing a picnic blanket, that's all.

0:27:200:27:23

Thanks.

0:27:250:27:26

Bit of bone. Bit of yellow bone.

0:27:280:27:31

When you get a chance, will you have a look?

0:27:310:27:33

And if you can, pull a DNA profile.

0:27:330:27:35

Chris Chandler has a single shot to the temple,

0:27:420:27:45

penetrating the frontal lobe.

0:27:450:27:47

Would have been instantaneously fatal.

0:27:470:27:49

There are partially healed bruises on his arms.

0:27:490:27:52

Look like grip marks.

0:27:520:27:54

Similar colouring to his chest and shoulder.

0:27:560:27:59

And not sustained during the shooting?

0:27:590:28:01

From the yellowing, I'd say they're a couple of days old.

0:28:010:28:03

Two days before he's shot dead,

0:28:030:28:06

he gets into a fight.

0:28:060:28:08

Be good to know who with.

0:28:100:28:12

Wow, there's a distinctive burn to his upper back.

0:28:150:28:18

Something with uniform holes in it.

0:28:180:28:20

I don't know.

0:28:210:28:23

Some sort of heater, possibly...

0:28:230:28:25

It's partially healed, like the grip marks.

0:28:250:28:28

So likely sustained during the fight.

0:28:280:28:30

Maybe he stumbled back and landed on it?

0:28:300:28:32

The burns are full thickness and there's skin loss.

0:28:320:28:35

May have left something on the object.

0:28:350:28:38

We should check out Chandler's workplace

0:28:380:28:40

-and everywhere else he's been in recent days.

-Agreed.

0:28:400:28:42

Victim is a previously healthy 40-year-old female

0:28:440:28:46

identified as Kate Blair.

0:28:460:28:49

Gunshot wound to the chest, causing bleeding into the lung

0:28:490:28:52

and a tracheal wound that would've impaired breathing.

0:28:520:28:55

She would have drowned in her own blood.

0:28:550:28:57

Both bullets entered her body at roughly 45-degree angles,

0:28:570:29:01

suggesting she was shot from the side of the car.

0:29:010:29:04

What's yet to be determined is...

0:29:050:29:09

..the cause of this void area in the blood.

0:29:110:29:16

Blood sprayed from the trachea wound.

0:29:160:29:18

But...there was an obstruction causing this void.

0:29:180:29:22

What kind of obstruction?

0:29:220:29:24

Well, something positioned between Kate and the right rear window.

0:29:240:29:27

Well, what about her son?

0:29:270:29:29

She shields him from the gunfire, he catches the splatter, then escapes?

0:29:290:29:32

No.

0:29:320:29:33

We think he was in the passenger footwell.

0:29:330:29:36

I found fibres from his jacket there,

0:29:360:29:38

plus the passenger door was left open.

0:29:380:29:40

One explanation could be there was a fourth person in the car.

0:29:400:29:43

We've got no friends or family of the victims missing.

0:29:450:29:49

No-one coming into A & E with gunshot wounds.

0:29:490:29:52

We'll process all the diffused blood

0:29:520:29:54

and see if it yields a fourth DNA profile.

0:29:540:29:55

There's red acrylic fibre

0:29:550:29:58

under the fingernails of her right hand,

0:29:580:30:01

suggesting she gripped this material in her fist.

0:30:010:30:05

So what was it?

0:30:050:30:07

Hang about...

0:30:070:30:08

Yes, I found red fibres in the Volvo.

0:30:100:30:12

And scattered amongst the picnic stuff.

0:30:130:30:17

Before you disappear, there's a few things I want to share with you.

0:30:190:30:23

Anomalies, really.

0:30:230:30:25

Hey.

0:30:290:30:30

Among the detritus from inside the Volvo,

0:30:300:30:33

I found a shard of brown glass.

0:30:330:30:36

The kind real ale bottles are fashioned from.

0:30:360:30:39

But no beer bottles were found at the crime scene.

0:30:390:30:41

Anomaly two, also from the Volvo...

0:30:430:30:45

A pearl-studded slide with long, dyed blonde hair and conifer leaves,

0:30:450:30:50

from a Lawson Cypress, to be specific, caught in the clasp.

0:30:500:30:54

None of the victims had blond hair, long or otherwise.

0:30:540:30:57

Anomaly three...

0:30:590:31:01

A loose cover for a picnic blanket recovered from the field.

0:31:010:31:05

-And that's significant because...?

-We didn't find a blanket.

0:31:050:31:08

From the cover, I was able to ID the make

0:31:090:31:12

and avail myself of an identical one. Would you mind?

0:31:120:31:15

The same red fibres as we found under Kate's fingernails.

0:31:210:31:24

Explains the scattered picnic.

0:31:240:31:26

The killer removed the blanket from the scene.

0:31:260:31:28

The only reason he'd do that is if he thought it was incriminating.

0:31:280:31:31

Blood or DNA transfer, say.

0:31:310:31:33

A fourth victim would explain these anomalies.

0:31:330:31:35

The void in the blood, the hair slide, the blonde hair.

0:31:350:31:38

If we're missing a body,

0:31:380:31:40

the killer must've taken it from the scene.

0:31:400:31:42

Wrapped up in the blanket, maybe.

0:31:420:31:43

OK, give me everything you've got

0:31:450:31:48

and we'll trawl missing persons again.

0:31:480:31:50

Do you think the missing victim

0:31:500:31:53

-could tie up with the photos on Chris' phone?

-In what way?

0:31:530:31:56

Hidden life as a drug dealer, hidden victim...

0:31:560:31:59

I don't know. I'm riffing.

0:31:590:32:01

OK.

0:32:010:32:02

Well, in the spirit of riffing, I was thinking about those pictures.

0:32:020:32:05

If you're dealing drugs, you don't document it.

0:32:050:32:07

You're more likely to do that...

0:32:070:32:09

If you're trying to blackmail someone who is.

0:32:090:32:11

Now, that's a motive for murder.

0:32:110:32:13

Finding out where that fight took place is a priority.

0:32:140:32:17

Miles said he hadn't seen Kate in a fortnight.

0:32:170:32:19

He never said anything about Chris.

0:32:190:32:21

Oh, God, I hope Dan Blair wakes up and starts talking.

0:32:230:32:26

You know what they say?

0:32:400:32:42

Scars look good on men.

0:32:420:32:45

It depends on the scar.

0:32:470:32:49

And the man.

0:32:510:32:53

You got a mouth on you.

0:32:550:32:57

I like it.

0:32:580:33:00

Amy!

0:33:210:33:22

Amy!

0:33:230:33:25

Well, thank you for today.

0:33:270:33:29

Now, you must tell me how much you feel I owe you.

0:33:290:33:31

I don't want your money.

0:33:310:33:33

Just your word you'll never contact me again.

0:33:330:33:35

That's a little melodramatic, don't you think?

0:33:360:33:38

Your word!

0:33:380:33:40

OK.

0:33:440:33:45

You have it.

0:33:460:33:48

AMY STARTS CAR

0:34:000:34:02

I don't want to speak ill of the dead.

0:34:030:34:05

If speaking the truth amounts to the same thing,

0:34:050:34:07

you're legally obliged to.

0:34:070:34:09

Chris definitely wasn't himself lately.

0:34:120:34:14

-In what way?

-Every way.

0:34:140:34:16

Chris was our accountant since '06. He never gave less than his all.

0:34:160:34:20

-That changed?

-He started turning up late.

0:34:200:34:22

Being unprepared for meetings.

0:34:220:34:24

Generally acting like his mind was elsewhere.

0:34:240:34:26

The timing couldn't have been worse.

0:34:260:34:28

We were about to acquire a smaller, German-based software...

0:34:280:34:31

Sorry, I'm not here about your merger.

0:34:310:34:32

I'm here about your late accountant.

0:34:320:34:35

Right.

0:34:350:34:36

I started keeping a closer eye on Chris.

0:34:370:34:40

Look, I was convinced he was fixing to leave

0:34:400:34:42

or covertly working for a rival.

0:34:420:34:44

Is that too much detail?

0:34:440:34:46

Flashpoint came when I found him poring over a spreadsheet

0:34:480:34:50

that had nothing to do with my company.

0:34:500:34:53

When I asked him point blank if he was moonlighting,

0:34:530:34:55

he said the figures related to his girlfriend's divorce settlement.

0:34:550:34:59

Was he any more specific?

0:34:590:35:01

Chris thought Kate's ex, Miles Blair,

0:35:020:35:04

was less than transparent about his assets.

0:35:040:35:06

He was obsessed with proving it.

0:35:060:35:07

Last week, did you notice Chris sporting some injuries?

0:35:080:35:12

-Mm.

-Did he offer an explanation?

0:35:120:35:14

He said he'd tripped while out jogging.

0:35:140:35:17

When, exactly, did this conversation happen?

0:35:170:35:19

Er...Friday morning.

0:35:200:35:22

And you're certain he didn't have the injuries on Thursday?

0:35:220:35:25

Positive. Why?

0:35:250:35:27

You said you hadn't seen Kate

0:35:340:35:36

since you dropped Dan off two weeks ago.

0:35:360:35:39

That's right.

0:35:390:35:40

Was that also the last time you saw Chris Chandler?

0:35:400:35:43

I think I glimpsed him in the hall, yeah.

0:35:430:35:46

And that was the last time you saw him?

0:35:470:35:49

Yes.

0:35:490:35:50

I need you to take it right off, please.

0:35:580:36:01

Would you like to tell me how you got those bruises?

0:36:120:36:15

I had to throw a drunk out of my bar the other night.

0:36:160:36:18

He resisted.

0:36:180:36:20

-Any witnesses to that?

-Everyone had gone home.

0:36:210:36:24

Story of my life.

0:36:250:36:27

What about the drunk? Can we talk to him?

0:36:280:36:30

I wouldn't know where to find him. He wasn't a regular.

0:36:300:36:33

Sorry.

0:36:340:36:36

CAMERA CLICKS

0:36:360:36:38

Thank you.

0:36:390:36:41

-The bruises... Talk to me.

-Yeah, they look like grip marks.

0:36:510:36:53

Maybe trying to wrestle someone to the ground.

0:36:530:36:56

Time-wise, could they match up with Chris' healed bruises?

0:36:560:36:58

Potentially, but there's no ring mark

0:36:580:37:01

or anything distinct to prove they came into contact.

0:37:010:37:03

Did Kate tell her sister anything about a recent fight?

0:37:040:37:07

-No.

-That's weird.

0:37:070:37:08

Unless Kate didn't know about it.

0:37:100:37:12

Surely Chris would tell her if Miles attacked him, though?

0:37:120:37:15

It was her 40th the next day.

0:37:160:37:18

Maybe he didn't want to spoil the party.

0:37:180:37:20

Then that leaves the window of Thursday night and a strange burn.

0:37:200:37:23

Put those together and we can still prove he's a liar.

0:37:230:37:26

It's mainly stuff Soco's picked up on the path by the river.

0:37:280:37:31

Great. We'll start processing this morning.

0:37:310:37:34

Is there something else?

0:37:430:37:45

Yeah.

0:37:470:37:49

Ten years ago,

0:37:530:37:55

a girl named Karen Myers was found in the same river as Dan Blair,

0:37:550:37:59

just a mile upstream.

0:37:590:38:01

Now, just like him, she'd been running for her life.

0:38:010:38:04

Your case?

0:38:040:38:06

One that got away.

0:38:070:38:08

Go on.

0:38:100:38:12

Karen was a medical student at London Uni.

0:38:120:38:15

On the last night she was seen alive,

0:38:150:38:17

she went to a party in Camden with a girlfriend.

0:38:170:38:20

The party turned out to be a damp squib,

0:38:200:38:22

so they decided to get an early night.

0:38:220:38:23

Now, Karen's mate said they parted company outside Stockwell Tube.

0:38:250:38:28

Karen never made it home?

0:38:280:38:30

No. The body was found the next day

0:38:300:38:33

in a river behind a transport cafe on the A23.

0:38:330:38:37

She was strangled?

0:38:370:38:39

But it was the fall that killed her.

0:38:390:38:41

-She was pumped full of Rohypnol and we found traces of semen.

-DNA?

0:38:420:38:45

Water damage meant there wasn't enough for a profile.

0:38:450:38:48

Who's this?

0:38:480:38:50

A waitress at the cafe recalled a lorry driver

0:38:500:38:53

coming in that night who she didn't know.

0:38:530:38:55

Seemed flustered.

0:38:550:38:56

You never ID'd him?

0:38:560:38:58

No. Back then, I had a theory

0:38:580:39:00

that Karen was abducted by a lorry driver on or near the A23

0:39:000:39:03

on her way back to her halls in Stockwell.

0:39:030:39:05

He drove her out of the city, drugged and raped her,

0:39:050:39:09

then she escaped at the cafe, maybe while he was inside.

0:39:090:39:13

-Before falling to her death in the dark?

-Mm.

0:39:130:39:16

Did you tell Butcher about this?

0:39:160:39:18

I mentioned it, yeah.

0:39:180:39:19

She didn't press me for details.

0:39:190:39:21

Look, er...

0:39:230:39:24

..I'm retiring in a month.

0:39:250:39:27

Maybe I'm looking for a connection that doesn't exist.

0:39:270:39:30

We'll take a look.

0:39:320:39:34

Well, that's what you want, isn't it?

0:39:340:39:35

Yeah.

0:39:350:39:37

It is.

0:39:380:39:39

Thank you.

0:39:410:39:43

I'll see you out.

0:39:440:39:45

OK... Out with it.

0:39:550:39:57

I know her.

0:39:570:39:59

-Who, Karen Myers?

-No, her friend.

0:39:590:40:01

The one she said goodbye to at Stockwell Tube - Amy Coulter.

0:40:010:40:05

She did a placement here at the Lyell about five years ago.

0:40:050:40:08

-So, well after her friend was murdered?

-Yes.

0:40:080:40:10

-But she never mentioned it.

-How well did you get to know her?

0:40:100:40:13

We went out a few times.

0:40:130:40:14

More than a few times.

0:40:140:40:16

She was fun. Made me feel 24 again.

0:40:160:40:19

Not that I was ever in her league in the partying stakes.

0:40:210:40:23

Well, I don't believe that for a minute. What happened, lose touch?

0:40:230:40:26

Couldn't hack the pace.

0:40:260:40:28

Nikki!

0:40:360:40:38

Amy!

0:40:380:40:39

-Great to see you.

-Yeah, you, too.

0:40:400:40:42

You've done so well.

0:40:420:40:44

-I'm not surprised.

-Thank you.

0:40:440:40:46

-And how are you?

-Yeah, good.

0:40:470:40:49

All the same.

0:40:490:40:51

So what brings you here?

0:40:510:40:53

Your friend. Karen Myers.

0:40:550:40:58

How do you know about Karen?

0:40:590:41:01

Her name's come up in a case that I'm working on.

0:41:010:41:04

You were the last person that saw her alive.

0:41:050:41:07

Well, last but one.

0:41:080:41:10

And what do you want to know?

0:41:130:41:15

Well, I've read the file but, I guess, for want of a better word,

0:41:150:41:19

some background might be useful.

0:41:190:41:21

-PHONE RINGS

-Sorry...

0:41:210:41:22

Er, listen. I can't really talk about this right now.

0:41:250:41:28

OK. When might be good?

0:41:280:41:30

I get off shift in a couple of hours. I can call you.

0:41:300:41:33

Yeah, sure.

0:41:330:41:35

Thanks.

0:41:350:41:36

Great, thanks.

0:41:410:41:42

Right, the bullet recovered from Chris Chandler

0:41:430:41:46

allowed us to ID the gun.

0:41:460:41:48

A model of Heckler & Koch, semi-automatic.

0:41:480:41:50

Discontinued five years ago.

0:41:500:41:51

-Heavy-duty weapon.

-Big time.

0:41:510:41:53

If it was a hit, the killer could be ex-Army.

0:41:530:41:56

A batch of the exact same H&Ks went missing nine years ago

0:41:560:42:00

en route from Redhill Barracks to a deactivation unit in Devon.

0:42:000:42:04

-PHONE RINGS

-Excuse me.

0:42:040:42:06

Clarissa.

0:42:070:42:08

I've spun through Chris Chandler's internet history

0:42:080:42:11

and found multiple searches

0:42:110:42:13

for the Cave Bar in Mile End.

0:42:130:42:16

Well, maybe he was scouting for his Kate's 40th?

0:42:160:42:18

Maybe. But it's the other side of London and,

0:42:180:42:21

frankly, looks more like the kind of place you'd have your 21st.

0:42:210:42:24

Well, 40's the new 30, kid.

0:42:240:42:26

Yeah. I don't think anyone under 40 got that memo.

0:42:260:42:30

So I've scaled up some images for the Cave

0:42:300:42:34

and it has a small outside bar area,

0:42:340:42:37

notable only for its proliferation of gas heaters.

0:42:370:42:41

What do you think?

0:43:380:43:40

We're in the right place.

0:43:400:43:42

Some singed fibres in the holes.

0:43:420:43:43

If we get a match on the fibres in Chris Chandler's clothes...

0:43:430:43:46

Have a look at this.

0:43:460:43:47

Window looks familiar.

0:43:570:43:59

And the striped curtain.

0:43:590:44:01

REPORTERS SHOUT QUESTIONS

0:44:080:44:11

The, er, bone fragment you pulled out of Dan's arm...

0:44:460:44:50

Very interesting.

0:44:500:44:51

Interesting how?

0:44:520:44:54

In a word...

0:44:550:44:57

acne.

0:44:570:44:58

Chris Chandler was on to you.

0:44:580:45:01

He thought you were lying about your assets and he was dead right.

0:45:010:45:04

You part-own the Cave Bar in Mile End

0:45:050:45:08

that you paid for in cash in 2012, correct?

0:45:080:45:11

-Yeah.

-And why did you not disclose that property in your assets?

0:45:120:45:15

-Kate was getting enough out of me.

-That's not the only reason, is it?

0:45:150:45:19

The back window of your property

0:45:200:45:21

is identifiable as the window in these pictures,

0:45:210:45:23

recovered from Chris Chandler's phone.

0:45:230:45:25

OK.

0:45:290:45:30

I cut up a bit of coke once in a while.

0:45:310:45:34

Doesn't make me Pablo Escobar.

0:45:340:45:36

You weren't quite so relaxed when Chris found you, were you?

0:45:370:45:41

We also recovered charred fibres from a heater in your bar

0:45:410:45:44

that match a shirt we found in Chris' house.

0:45:440:45:47

As you can see, the size and shape of the heater's grille

0:45:470:45:50

matches a distinctive burn on his back.

0:45:500:45:52

A burn he sustained not more than three days before he died.

0:45:520:45:55

But you told us you hadn't seen Chris in a fortnight.

0:45:550:45:57

The funny thing is, Chris didn't tell anyone.

0:46:000:46:02

Not the police, not Kate.

0:46:020:46:04

Which makes me think, once the fight was over...

0:46:040:46:07

..you and he came to an agreement.

0:46:080:46:10

He had you over a barrel.

0:46:120:46:14

So I'm guessing his demands were pretty unreasonable.

0:46:140:46:17

It would really be in your interest to answer my questions.

0:46:210:46:24

He wanted me to drop all claim over Dan,

0:46:300:46:33

give Kate sole custody.

0:46:330:46:35

Did you agree to that?

0:46:350:46:36

Yeah.

0:46:370:46:39

-And were you happy about it?

-Well, what do you think?

0:46:390:46:41

I love my son.

0:46:430:46:45

Which is why your theory that I'd hurt him is such bullshit!

0:46:450:46:47

But you didn't plan to hurt him, Miles.

0:46:470:46:49

You didn't even think he was going to be there, did you?

0:46:490:46:52

You thought he was at football camp.

0:46:520:46:54

You do love your son.

0:46:550:46:57

No way were you going to let Chris Chandler take your son...

0:46:580:47:01

..as well as your wife.

0:47:030:47:04

He did not take my wife!

0:47:040:47:06

OK...

0:47:140:47:16

OK.

0:47:170:47:18

I know how bad this looks.

0:47:200:47:22

I should have come clean.

0:47:220:47:24

But I was scared.

0:47:250:47:26

I'm sure you were.

0:47:270:47:29

But before you were scared, you were angry.

0:47:300:47:33

No.

0:47:330:47:34

I think, after one too many,

0:47:340:47:37

-you did a stupid thing.

-I had nothing to do with those shootings!

0:47:370:47:40

You made a call, handed over some cash

0:47:400:47:42

and set a chain in motion you were powerless to stop,

0:47:420:47:44

-once you'd sobered up.

-I would never hurt Kate.

0:47:440:47:46

-I would never hurt Dan.

-What about Chris?

0:47:460:47:49

Was he the target?

0:47:490:47:50

Was he the only one who was supposed to die?

0:47:500:47:52

You're not listening to me!

0:47:520:47:54

No, I'm listening to the evidence.

0:47:540:47:55

Unlike you, it doesn't lie!

0:47:550:47:58

Perfect timing.

0:48:070:48:08

Results are back on the shard of foreign bone

0:48:080:48:10

recovered from the back of Dan's forearm.

0:48:100:48:13

Well, whoever it belongs to once took tetracycline,

0:48:130:48:16

a polyketide antibiotic used to treat acne.

0:48:160:48:19

The side effect is it turns the bone yellow.

0:48:190:48:21

None of our three identified victims had that colouring.

0:48:210:48:24

No, DNA confirms this.

0:48:240:48:26

Also tells us the bone came from a female.

0:48:260:48:29

Which fits with the jewelled hair slide and dyed blonde hair

0:48:290:48:32

and a twist of turquoise silk

0:48:320:48:34

caught in one of the bullets found in the car.

0:48:340:48:37

So why's no-one reported a fourth victim missing?

0:48:380:48:41

We can't know that until we find out who she is.

0:48:410:48:43

DNA didn't tell you?

0:48:430:48:44

No match.

0:48:440:48:46

The answer could be in those woods.

0:48:460:48:48

Leaves trapped in her hair slide

0:48:480:48:50

suggest our mystery blonde passed by or under

0:48:500:48:52

a conifer tree at speed.

0:48:520:48:54

Speed suggests chased.

0:48:540:48:56

But I've been through every shot of the crime scene, pixel by pixel...

0:48:560:49:00

No conifers.

0:49:010:49:03

Find the tree...

0:49:030:49:05

find the girl.

0:49:050:49:07

Should we notify Butcher?

0:49:100:49:12

Always better to ask forgiveness than permission.

0:49:120:49:14

So says the man who's about to retire!

0:49:140:49:16

I left her a voicemail.

0:49:160:49:18

So far, she hasn't called me back.

0:49:180:49:20

This is where we found Karen.

0:49:410:49:43

0:55:150:55:17

The hair comb broke off.

0:55:180:55:20

Looks like she forced her way between the branches...

0:55:330:55:35

..and maybe fell here.

0:55:370:55:39

And left us a trail in the process.

0:55:420:55:44

0:55:500:55:51

I think this was made by a bullet.

0:55:590:56:01

Glanced the tree,

0:56:020:56:04

suggesting the shooter was over there

0:56:040:56:07

and she was running away
