00:00:00I was wondering if you'd call tonight yeah tonight's perfect yeah okay
00:00:30I'm
00:01:00No!
00:01:01No!
00:01:02No!
00:01:30Peter Rooker, 38 years old, found 40 minutes ago in an alleyway in Soho.
00:01:47Gunshot wounds to the leg and head, no witnesses.
00:01:49And how is he still alive?
00:01:50Well, by a miracle, apparently.
00:01:51The bullet passed between the frontal lobes.
00:01:54Nothing's still here.
00:01:55The colonel in Wayne.
00:01:56Looks like he's a photographer.
00:01:58Okay, victim's wallet, mobile phone, keys, camera, and what looks like a coat tag from
00:02:04the club.
00:02:05Number 19?
00:02:06It's on Wardour Street.
00:02:07Come on, let's shock him again.
00:02:08In amongst a million tube tickets, we found his plus card.
00:02:11Thanks a lot.
00:02:13No going again.
00:02:14360 charge.
00:02:15360.
00:02:16Clear.
00:02:21360.
00:02:22That's it.
00:02:23If we want an agreement, we'll stop resuscitation there.
00:02:27In the time of death, 2215.
00:02:28Doctor, is there anything else you can tell me?
00:02:29Uh, well, I don't think it's the first time it's been shot.
00:02:30This looks like an old bullet wound.
00:02:31And by the scarring, I'd say that was a back room job.
00:02:32Not done in the hospital.
00:02:33Well, if it was a hospital, it was in this country.
00:02:34Ah.
00:02:35You have that look in your eyes, both of you.
00:02:36The look that says you're not planning to go home any time soon.
00:02:37Ah.
00:02:38The look that says you're not planning to go home any time soon.
00:02:39Are you going to put me back in your eyes?
00:02:40Are you gonna put me in a cab?
00:02:41And by the scarring, I'd say that was a backroom job.
00:02:43Not done in the hospital.
00:02:45Well, if it was a hospital, it was in this country.
00:02:59Ah.
00:03:00You have that look in your eyes, both of you.
00:03:03The look that says you're not planning to go home anytime soon.
00:03:08Are you going to put me in a cab?
00:03:09I'm going to wave you off into the night.
00:03:11What kind of man do you think I am?
00:03:22Found the body yet, Lafferty?
00:03:24Very droll.
00:03:25Might have found the murder weapon, though.
00:03:27A bit of a gift, if it is.
00:03:29I'll do a check on it.
00:03:30There's no need to dress up for us.
00:03:32I thought we'd show the proper respect that your work is due.
00:03:34About time, too.
00:03:36How's it going, Mrs. Lindley? You back with us?
00:03:37Oh, no, Stuart. No, no. This is someone's idea of showing a girl a good time.
00:03:41Anything else?
00:03:42Murder weapon not enough for you?
00:03:44Possible murder weapon.
00:03:46This is where he fell.
00:03:48Paramedics found him on his back.
00:03:49The entry wound for the second shot was in the middle of the forehead.
00:03:54The entry wound for the first shot was the back of the knee, which suggests...
00:03:57The killer was behind him.
00:03:59Okay.
00:03:59Got the head here, feet there.
00:04:02And Rooker is travelling this direction down the alley with the killer behind him.
00:04:05Shoots him in the leg.
00:04:07He drops here.
00:04:09Rolls over.
00:04:10So he's the killer.
00:04:11Coming towards him.
00:04:11He shoots him in the head.
00:04:13You don't really need me, do you?
00:04:14Not really, no.
00:04:15But you brighten the place up for us, you know.
00:04:17You do.
00:04:18Where was he headed, then?
00:04:19Where did he come from?
00:04:21Well, there's a pub round the corner.
00:04:23The hospital said he's staying in Caboose.
00:04:25Check it out.
00:04:26Um, excuse me.
00:04:27Can I go home now, or have you got a surprise visit to the mortuary planned?
00:04:31I'm sorry.
00:04:32It is going to be a late one, isn't it?
00:04:34Here, I'll see you at home.
00:04:35Take the car.
00:04:37That is a bit of a first.
00:04:41Come on, before I change my mind.
00:04:42I'm going.
00:04:45Get on to Winston.
00:04:47Tell him to go around to Rooker's Fat and see what he can find.
00:04:53Hey, is that what I think it is?
00:04:59Sorry, mate.
00:05:00That camera's just for show.
00:05:01There's no film, Mr. McGuire.
00:05:02Is that what you're saying?
00:05:03No.
00:05:04Brewer said they're going to fix it.
00:05:05Never happened.
00:05:06Exciting night?
00:05:07No more than usual.
00:05:09We cater for real drinkers here.
00:05:11The real so-ho.
00:05:12Not your poncy media types with their bottles of foreign lager.
00:05:16Have you seen this man before?
00:05:18No.
00:05:19Try looking at the picture first, please.
00:05:23Was he in here tonight?
00:05:25Could have been.
00:05:26This is the West End, love.
00:05:28We get a thousand plus punters in here every week.
00:05:31I ain't that good with faces.
00:05:34Who uses the alleyway?
00:05:35Dealers, methadone addicts, pros.
00:05:38People take the shortcut, the top of the court road tube.
00:05:40It's like one big filthy urinal.
00:05:41Hello?
00:05:42Hello?
00:05:43Police?
00:05:44DC, the guards are controlled.
00:05:47Hello?
00:05:48Police?
00:05:48DC, the guards are controlled.
00:05:49Hello?
00:06:06Police?
00:06:10DC, the car's in control.
00:06:13Requesting backup.
00:06:14Suspected breaking at 25 Elliott Street, Barnabone.
00:06:17Intruder, possibly still on the premises.
00:06:20I'm entering now.
00:06:47Calm down, calm down.
00:07:03It's okay.
00:07:06I'm the police officer.
00:07:08My ID is in my pocket.
00:07:16Will you let me get it?
00:07:24Okay.
00:07:25Now, I need you to put the gun down and tell me exactly what happened here, okay?
00:07:39Can you do that?
00:07:40Okay.
00:07:53Okay.
00:07:59Oh, God.
00:08:00She'd have done more to stop her.
00:08:07No, you did exactly the right thing.
00:08:09She had a gun, you didn't.
00:08:10Did you get any sense of who she might be?
00:08:13Didn't get a sense of anything.
00:08:14She never said a word.
00:08:15She looked traumatised.
00:08:17Was she injured?
00:08:18No.
00:08:20So it's not her blood, then?
00:08:22Rooker's.
00:08:23From what we saw, both his injuries would have been sustained in the alleyway.
00:08:27Third party?
00:08:28No, we'll run up a DNA profile as soon as possible.
00:08:31See where it's where he's at.
00:08:32And check out the air needs of all the local hospitals, will you?
00:08:35So, Rooker suffers a fatal shooting in Soho,
00:08:41and then there's a second firearms incident at his flattened Mariborne.
00:08:45Well, she shot Rooker first and then came here.
00:08:47Yeah, but there was a gun in the alleyway, presumably the murder weapon,
00:08:49and then there's her second gun.
00:08:50Why does she need two guns?
00:08:52Whatever, he must have been involved in something pretty deep.
00:08:54Well, here's a theory.
00:08:55Whether she killed Rooker or not,
00:08:57she breaks in and gets a nasty surprise.
00:09:00Yeah, someone else is here.
00:09:02She shoots them.
00:09:03Third party is wounded but escapes.
00:09:05She stays here.
00:09:05Why?
00:09:06Just looking for something?
00:09:07Probably something quite difficult to find.
00:09:09Certainly likes the lived-in look, doesn't he?
00:09:11Hmm.
00:09:12This is her!
00:09:15Are you kidding me?
00:09:16I just found it on his bedside table.
00:09:18They were close, then.
00:09:19Girlfriend?
00:09:20It seems odd that she had to force the door.
00:09:22You'd think she'd have a key.
00:09:24Well, perhaps I'd have a falling out.
00:09:25I mean, there's not much evidence of a woman's touch here.
00:09:27Whoever she is, my guess is she doesn't live here.
00:09:30Well, I know she's a slob, too.
00:09:32Winston, head back.
00:09:33Circulate the photo.
00:09:34Put out an observation call.
00:09:36Make sure they know that she's armed.
00:09:37Priority.
00:09:38We need to find her as soon as possible.
00:09:40Neighbors, I don't care if this takes all night.
00:09:43This flat is going to get turned upside down.
00:09:45It already is, isn't it?
00:09:46So he was that kind of photographer?
00:09:55Paparazzi.
00:09:56Paparazzi.
00:09:57Paparazzi is plural.
00:09:58If you're trying to make me look stupid.
00:10:01Well, he wasn't exactly in demand.
00:10:04The only entry in his diary this week is a car registration number.
00:10:08Oh, no, hang on.
00:10:09He had a meeting last week with a Melissa booth.
00:10:12Oh, isn't she the newspaper editor?
00:10:14One of the big tabloids.
00:10:15Maybe things were looking up for him.
00:10:23David.
00:10:24Make sure it's left.
00:10:24Three minutes.
00:10:25David.
00:10:28What's this supposed to be?
00:10:30A piece on the teenage crying wave.
00:10:32I don't think so.
00:10:33There's a theory that if you give an infinite number of monkeys,
00:10:36an infinite number of typewriters,
00:10:38they'll eventually write Hamlet.
00:10:39This is what you get from fewer monkeys in less time.
00:10:45Give me a teenage crime wave, David.
00:10:47And who are you?
00:10:49A photographer meeting directly with the editor of a tabloid newspaper
00:10:52struck me as out of the ordinary.
00:10:55Usually would be.
00:10:57Isn't that a job for the picture desk?
00:11:00Yeah.
00:11:02How did you hear about his death?
00:11:04I got a call at three o'clock this morning from my chief crime correspondent.
00:11:07He thought I'd want to know.
00:11:09How did you take the news?
00:11:10With a valium and a large scotch.
00:11:13You were close, then?
00:11:13Once, yes, very.
00:11:16I just heard the news.
00:11:18All those war zones he came back from,
00:11:20and he winds up dead in the middle of London.
00:11:22So sorry.
00:11:23Um, Inspector Lindy,
00:11:25Eddie Price, my husband, and my boss.
00:11:28A very hands-off one.
00:11:29Not much choice with her in the chair.
00:11:30Obviously, this is not a good time,
00:11:34but, darling, if you need me, I'll be down the hall.
00:11:38Oh, the last time I saw Peter,
00:11:40he looked a bit worse for wear.
00:11:42Maybe he'd run up a tab he couldn't pay off.
00:11:45You're talking about him like he was some kind of addict.
00:11:48We don't have to trample his name in the dirt already, do we?
00:11:50We would if he was anyone else.
00:11:51I'm sorry, your husband said war zones.
00:12:02I thought Mr. Rooker was paparazzo.
00:12:05First Gulf War.
00:12:09It was good, wasn't it?
00:12:10He was a real talent.
00:12:12Was that the kind of picture he was trying to sell you last week?
00:12:15He packed in real photography when he came back from Bosnia.
00:12:19When he was down to his last 50 quid,
00:12:20he tried to beat the paparazzi at their own game.
00:12:23Maybe it wasn't the soft option he thought it was.
00:12:29If you could get me the property that matches this tag, please.
00:12:36Can I help you?
00:12:37Sorry, you are?
00:12:38Michael Renn, I manage this place.
00:12:41I'm Detective Sergeant Havers.
00:12:43I'm investigating the murder of a Mr. Peter Rooker.
00:12:46Peter?
00:12:47Yeah, I'm afraid so.
00:12:50Are you sure?
00:12:53Has he been identified?
00:12:55We're sure.
00:12:58Murdered how?
00:12:59Oh, he was shot.
00:13:01I heard there was a shooting in an alley off Dean Street.
00:13:03So you knew Peter Rooker?
00:13:08You could say that.
00:13:09What does that mean?
00:13:10He was the best friend I ever had.
00:13:13How did you meet?
00:13:15Belfast, 1983.
00:13:19He was on an assignment for the New York Times.
00:13:21I was with the panners.
00:13:22We both drank in the same pot.
00:13:25He could drink me and all my men under the table
00:13:27and make us laugh while he was doing it.
00:13:30And what about recently?
00:13:31How was he?
00:13:31He could barely raise a smile.
00:13:38What kind of pictures did he try and sell you last week?
00:13:41Oh, some C-list celebrity.
00:13:44Did you buy them?
00:13:46Yes.
00:13:47When did they run?
00:13:48They didn't.
00:13:49I've bought dozens of Peter's pictures over the last ten years
00:13:53and I think I've used them once.
00:13:55It drives Eddie mad, but that's my prerogative.
00:13:59Sounds like charity.
00:14:02Or something deeper.
00:14:05Is that what Mr Price really gets mad about?
00:14:09No.
00:14:10No.
00:14:10Eddie's always known and accepted that Peter Rooker was my first big love.
00:14:19What went wrong?
00:14:21Well, I don't know.
00:14:23Peter changed.
00:14:24He lost his spirit.
00:14:26Actually, that's an understatement.
00:14:28How did he seem to you when you saw him last week?
00:14:31Particularly anxious about anything?
00:14:33Peter was anxious in his sleep, Inspector.
00:14:36Awake, he was a nervous wreck.
00:14:38Well, awake and sober, at least.
00:14:42Self-medication, he called it.
00:14:45Four large vodkas and a diazepam was what it took to drag him down to mere anxiety.
00:14:51Did you still see him?
00:14:53Socially?
00:14:54Oh, no.
00:14:55I love my husband.
00:14:56Being mates with exes never works, does it?
00:15:03So when did you last see Mr Rooker?
00:15:07Yesterday.
00:15:08At what time?
00:15:09He was here about seven.
00:15:12Is he a member of the club?
00:15:14Unofficially through me, if you like.
00:15:16So he came to speak to you?
00:15:18Yeah.
00:15:18What did you talk about?
00:15:20Nothing significant.
00:15:21Look, he was talking about how he was sick of Melissa Boone's handouts.
00:15:29That if she didn't print his pictures, he'd send the cheque back.
00:15:32I told him not to be so stupid as to bite the hand of feeds.
00:15:36He didn't like that.
00:15:38So it's fair to say that he left under a cloud.
00:15:40Or perhaps that's why he forgot his coat.
00:15:43He didn't have much choice.
00:15:45I slung him out.
00:15:45The place was heathen.
00:15:46I couldn't have one of his tantrums.
00:15:48What, especially with him not being a member?
00:15:51Exactly.
00:15:52Did he say where he was going to?
00:15:54Nope.
00:15:55Well, what time did he leave?
00:15:57It was about eight o'clock.
00:15:59Are you sure?
00:16:00Yeah, why?
00:16:01Well, shots were heard at 9.10.
00:16:04Now, the alleyway that he was killed is, what, a five-minute walk max from here?
00:16:07So what was he doing between eight and nine?
00:16:10He could have been doing anything.
00:16:12Like?
00:16:14Well, he was drinking heavily already.
00:16:16He was off his head on something.
00:16:17Take your pick with Peter.
00:16:21Do you know her?
00:16:24Her name's Nina.
00:16:26How do you know her?
00:16:26She works here.
00:16:28And what's her relationship with Peter Rooker?
00:16:31Peter was her legal guardian when she first came over from Bosnia in 95.
00:16:36Is she working today?
00:16:37Well, she's supposed to be, but she's been off for a couple of days with flu.
00:16:41All right, I'll need an address.
00:16:43Don't have one.
00:16:44She's cash in hand, you know.
00:16:48Are you telling me you don't have your employees' addresses?
00:16:50Of course, but, um, she's not been here long.
00:16:54Okay, next of kin.
00:16:56Well, that would be Peter.
00:16:59Is she in some kind of trouble?
00:17:01Yeah, well, let's just say she's in possession of a firearm and not in a stable frame of mind.
00:17:05So, if there's anything that you can tell us to help us find her.
00:17:08Like I told you, I can't help you with what I don't know.
00:17:13Okay, do us a favour.
00:17:14Check your records, see if you can't rustle up a surname.
00:17:17Look, I've told you...
00:17:18It'll save me having to go to the tax office.
00:17:26Mr. Price, can I have a word?
00:17:27Well, I've got a car waiting.
00:17:28Call my secretary, she had booked an appointment.
00:17:31Peter Rooker. Did you know him?
00:17:33A little.
00:17:34And his relationship with your wife?
00:17:36Ended years ago.
00:17:39I'm sorry.
00:17:40I meant his professional relationship with your wife.
00:17:43Was that what the thing about his habit was about?
00:17:46I was just trying to be helpful.
00:17:48Not how Miss Booth interpreted it.
00:17:51Nasty bruise on your cheek there, sir.
00:17:56What are you suggesting?
00:17:57Nothing, just wondering how you got it.
00:18:00A sort of little scene playing out in your head, isn't there, Inspector?
00:18:03I wasn't aware of one.
00:18:05My wife's ex-lover comes back into her life and they embark on a steamy affair.
00:18:09I find out about it and I beat seven bells out of it.
00:18:12I suppose I give them some sort of macho speech about staying away from her.
00:18:16And then what?
00:18:17I smell his cheap aftershave on her sometime afterwards.
00:18:22Take the gun from my desk drawer, which I keep there just for such an occasion.
00:18:27And I blow his head off.
00:18:28A bit clichéd, isn't it?
00:18:33Is that what from the alternative?
00:18:34I got Melissa on the rebound.
00:18:38I knew it then and I know it now.
00:18:40And I was still the luckiest man in the world.
00:18:44Fun, smart and beautiful.
00:18:46Truth is, I don't think she even loved me the day we got married.
00:18:52But I told her love can grow.
00:18:55And it has.
00:18:58Plus, she got to be editor of a national newspaper, of course.
00:19:02She was always very honest to me about her ambition and drive.
00:19:05Like she was about her relationship with Peter Rooker?
00:19:07Trust is the basis of a happy marriage.
00:19:10Sure, I wasn't crazy about her paying for those photos we never ran with.
00:19:14It wasn't jealousy.
00:19:16I just hate waste.
00:19:18That's the way I was brought up.
00:19:20But it made Melissa happy, and if she's happy, I'm happy.
00:19:23Must have stuck in some people's throats,
00:19:25you parachuting her in like that to the top job.
00:19:28Newsrooms are shark pools.
00:19:30It's not so much sink or swim as swim or get chewed to death by 11.30.
00:19:34If Melissa couldn't hack it, me being the owner of the paper wouldn't mean anything.
00:19:38And the bruise?
00:19:40I walked into a bog door after a few drinks.
00:19:43Oh, thank you, Mr Price. You've been very helpful.
00:19:47It's all right.
00:19:49Oh, if you want to speak to me again, give me some notice, I'll bring my lawyers.
00:20:06Her name's Nina, and Rooker was her guardian. Anything else?
00:20:08Yeah, she works for a rental club.
00:20:10She hasn't been in the last couple of days.
00:20:11He claims not to know where she is.
00:20:13Do you believe him?
00:20:15Well, it's a start. What's the club like?
00:20:17An exclusive of hanging out for celebrity jokes.
00:20:20Fits with him being a paparazzi, doesn't it?
00:20:22Yeah, it must be handy for Rooker to have a mate who runs a bar stuffer of C-listers.
00:20:26It's hard to see why these kind of pictures should lead to him taking a bullet.
00:20:29You don't have to be Quincy to ascertain cause of death as gunshot wound to the head.
00:20:34The angle of entry, the blood spray at the scene, the position of the body all confirm what we thought last night.
00:20:40The killer was behind Rooker, shot him in the leg and then in the head once he was on the ground.
00:20:45Range?
00:20:45There's smoke soiling around the entry wound here and propellant burns and soot tattooing across the forehead.
00:20:53The gun can't have been fired from more than a metre away for that second shot.
00:20:56But the leg shot was further back, more than a metre because there's no soot or burns.
00:21:02Worth noting also, the angle of entry and exit, the leg was extended back at the moment of impact.
00:21:10Rooker was running.
00:21:12So why not shoot him in the back? That's a much bigger target.
00:21:15Because if he shoots him in the back, he might kill him straight away.
00:21:20He doesn't want it to be over too fast.
00:21:22This way, you shatter the kneecap which immobilises him and causes him a hell of a lot of pain.
00:21:26Yeah, but why do it like that? I mean, why take more time and risk being caught in the act?
00:21:31Maybe the killer wanted him to know who it was who was killing him.
00:21:34That's a risk he was prepared to take.
00:21:36I don't know what this gives you, but your man was so living on borrowed time.
00:21:40We heard he wasn't exactly clean living.
00:21:42He'd suffered severe liver damage, had excessively high alcohol content,
00:21:46but he was also riddled with tumorous tissue.
00:21:49What cancer?
00:21:50When we're done here, we should pack him off to the science museum.
00:21:53He was a dead man, walking.
00:21:55There's something else too.
00:21:56As you can see, they're yellowing, which means they predate death by at least one day,
00:22:03at most a few days.
00:22:06And there's broken skin and swelling on his knuckles,
00:22:09all signs that he was in a fight.
00:22:15The gun found at the scene is not the murder weapon.
00:22:18Of course, that would have been far too easy.
00:22:19It's a recommissioned firearm. Nice job too, apparently.
00:22:22I bet my paycheck, whoever did this, is on a short list and well known to the firearms division.
00:22:26Well, seeing you've got a private income.
00:22:29Well, I'll get some names and cross-reference at Will West End Central.
00:22:32Ballistics say he'd never been fired.
00:22:33Well, that would suggest a recent purchase.
00:22:35How would Rooker get his hands on it?
00:22:37It's his prints all over it.
00:22:38Well, why do you feel he needed a gun?
00:22:40Melissa Booth talked of his pathological anxiety.
00:22:44Well, maybe his anxiety wasn't quite so pathological.
00:22:47How's it going, Winston?
00:22:48Slowly. There's thousands of images here. What am I looking for?
00:22:52Anyone or anything that could have caused his death.
00:22:54Well, I might not know it when I see it.
00:22:56I have complete faith in you.
00:22:58No pressure, then.
00:23:00This is all I've got so far.
00:23:02It's from two weeks ago.
00:23:03Two weeks and one day, to be precise.
00:23:06That's Melissa Booth.
00:23:07For a guy who looked like he might ask you for 20 pence,
00:23:09he was pretty thorough with his indexing.
00:23:12These were taken 15 days ago?
00:23:14Exactly.
00:23:15Well, I doubt Mr Price would have been quite so zen about things
00:23:18if he caught sight of these.
00:23:19Yeah, Melissa and Peter Rooker had resumed their relationship.
00:23:21Looks like they never fell out of love.
00:23:23Yeah, funny she didn't mention it.
00:23:24Isn't it?
00:23:25Shall we hit her with it?
00:23:26No.
00:23:27No, let's keep our powder dry.
00:23:29Yeah, see if we can find out what else she's not telling us.
00:23:33Sir, I've got Rooker's bank statements.
00:23:36For the last year, there's been a monthly debit of 400 quid
00:23:38going to a letting agency in Camden.
00:23:40Camden?
00:23:41I thought he lived in Marrowbone.
00:23:42Oh, exactly.
00:23:42Sir, I talked to the agency.
00:23:44He's been paying the rent on a one-bedroom flat on the high street.
00:23:46Lieutenant's name, Nina Delich.
00:23:54Well, it's much nicer than Rooker's flat.
00:23:56Obviously, he takes his guardian duties very seriously.
00:23:59Tough guy with a heart.
00:24:03You know, the more we found out about this bloke Rooker, the less he adds up.
00:24:08It's a bit like when I first met you.
00:24:11Meaning?
00:24:12Well, a posh guy with a heart.
00:24:14Didn't quite make sense.
00:24:15Thanks very much, Hovers.
00:24:18Science-defying.
00:24:22This morning's post.
00:24:23She must have been here today.
00:24:28Junk.
00:24:29Junk.
00:24:30Junk.
00:24:31Well, he's small, but perfectly formed.
00:24:33Who the hell are you?
00:24:38We were under the impression that Nina lived here alone.
00:24:40She does.
00:24:42Officially.
00:24:43I sublet.
00:24:44You're not rents alike in London.
00:24:46I sleep in here.
00:24:47We're investigating the death of Peter Rooker.
00:24:51Did you know him?
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:54Yeah, he's Nina's guardian.
00:24:56He rents this place for her.
00:24:58Do you know where Nina is?
00:25:00No.
00:25:00She hasn't been home the last couple of nights.
00:25:02Where has she called?
00:25:03No, and she always does if she's spending the night out.
00:25:06Have you tried her?
00:25:07Yeah, her mobile switched off.
00:25:10Do you know where she might be?
00:25:12Um, her boyfriend, Michael's?
00:25:15Michael.
00:25:16I don't know his surname, but he runs number 19 in Soho.
00:25:19Michael Wren, Rooker's friend.
00:25:27Sorry about that.
00:25:30Did Rooker know about the relationship?
00:25:34Peter always wanted the best for Nina, but he could be quite controlling.
00:25:37She said it'd go crazy if she had to drop out of college.
00:25:39Well, why would she have to drop out?
00:25:42No specific reason.
00:25:44Is that what Michael wanted?
00:25:45She never said that.
00:25:47Then why was she discussing leaving college at all?
00:25:52Look, if you think in holding something back, you're somehow being loyal to Nina, you're mistaken.
00:26:02She's pregnant.
00:26:03I want an unmarked car parked outside.
00:26:11We've got a trace on Nina's phone, haven't we?
00:26:13Yeah, we should have.
00:26:14I'll double check.
00:26:14I thought you army chaps meant to be big on loyalty.
00:26:22Cut to the chase, please.
00:26:23I've got a party of 70 coming in at one.
00:26:26You're the father of her child, and you couldn't even give me an address.
00:26:29It was when you mentioned her waiting to the gun around.
00:26:36I knew it was my gun.
00:26:38She must have taken it from the drawer of my office.
00:26:41So you knew your gun was missing?
00:26:43Never crossed my mind it was Nina, though.
00:26:47You did report it missing.
00:26:49I thought I'd have a go again about myself.
00:26:51In violation of your licence?
00:26:53My licence expired eight months ago.
00:26:55And it also stipulates that it should be kept in a locked steel cabinet.
00:26:59Exactly.
00:27:03Tell us about Nina.
00:27:06She could be a laugh.
00:27:08She's great looking, obviously.
00:27:10But when she told me she was pregnant, I didn't freak out or anything, but...
00:27:15She has an unpredictable side.
00:27:18I don't know if I can handle that long term.
00:27:21And you told her that?
00:27:22Is that why she hasn't been here for the past two days?
00:27:25She's not ill with flu, is she?
00:27:27No, I didn't tell her that.
00:27:30She just took off in the middle of the day.
00:27:32Said she wasn't coming back.
00:27:34Look, I've racked my brain thinking about what I might have said or done.
00:27:38So do you think that Rooker found out about the affair and talked Nina out of it?
00:27:42Crossed my mind.
00:27:43That would have made you quite angry, wouldn't it?
00:27:45I thought of Rooker telling her that you weren't good enough for her.
00:27:48She could do better than a barman.
00:27:50I'm not a barman.
00:27:51Yeah, even if it is a posh to her club.
00:27:53Look, I know where you're going with this and you're miles off.
00:27:58That's what you were arguing with Rooker about last night.
00:28:01Nina, wasn't it?
00:28:03Yeah.
00:28:04Okay, so Rooker left here at eight.
00:28:07He got shot at nine-ten.
00:28:08Yeah, and the alley is only five minutes' walk away from the bar.
00:28:11Look, we did this last time.
00:28:13But last time, you withheld to the point of lying.
00:28:15I told you I don't know where he went.
00:28:18What about you?
00:28:19What were you doing between eight and nine?
00:28:20I was right here the whole time.
00:28:24Look, I wish I knew something.
00:28:26I wish I could help you find whoever it was who killed my mate.
00:28:30Oh, save it, please.
00:28:32You know, I could arrest you for the things you didn't tell my sergeant.
00:28:36Where is Nina now?
00:28:38I don't know.
00:28:39Where might she be?
00:28:40I'll ask around, talk to the other girls.
00:28:43Thanks.
00:28:43We're already on to that.
00:28:45And what are you going to do if she does contact you?
00:28:47Well, I'll call you straight away.
00:28:49That's right.
00:28:50You won't try and sort it out on your own, will you?
00:28:52Look, I'm not stupid.
00:28:53Hey, got a result from that registration number we found in Peter Rooker's diary.
00:29:02Anything interesting?
00:29:03Black Mercedes registered to a private chauffeur hire company.
00:29:07It's a sole trader, Andrei Pavletich.
00:29:10Well, that makes life easier.
00:29:11But that's not the interesting bit.
00:29:13One of his main clients is Eddie Price.
00:29:16Brent's just turned up at Nina's Flair.
00:29:23Have you come out yet?
00:29:27No.
00:29:28Okay, anyone else gone in?
00:29:29No, no.
00:29:31We going in?
00:29:32No, let's leave it a little bit longer.
00:29:34See if anything turns up.
00:29:43Mr Pavletich?
00:29:44That's your stroll, Winston.
00:29:58Perfect day for it.
00:30:08Maybe this, um, Peter Rooker, maybe he was a customer.
00:30:13And then surely you would remember him.
00:30:15I pick up so many people.
00:30:17From actors, musicians, restaurateurs.
00:30:21And on top of that, I have my regulars.
00:30:24Like Eddie Price?
00:30:27Yes.
00:30:27Do you talk to Mr Price much?
00:30:56When you're driving him around?
00:30:59Well, sometimes.
00:31:00What do you talk about?
00:31:02Oh, does he talk about his personal life?
00:31:05We talk about weather, and football, politics sometimes.
00:31:11But I wouldn't know anything about his private life.
00:31:14So you wouldn't happen to know how he got that bruise on his cheek?
00:31:18No.
00:31:19Quite nice to bruise, right on the cheekbone.
00:31:20It was quite recent, too.
00:31:21Oh, sorry.
00:31:22Uh, this is a picture of Peter Rooker.
00:31:28Are you sure you don't know him?
00:31:32Sarah.
00:31:35Better don't say it.
00:31:36Okay, you see where our friend's heading?
00:31:52I'll go light a candle.
00:31:52Hello, Claire.
00:32:11Are you going away somewhere?
00:32:13No.
00:32:13What's going on?
00:32:14Nothing.
00:32:14Oh, I'm not stupid.
00:32:16I bet you if I open that bag, I'll find Nina's stuff.
00:32:20Don't tell me.
00:32:22You had Nina's best interest at heart.
00:32:23I did.
00:32:24I do.
00:32:25Well, so do we.
00:32:29Look, I'm sorry.
00:32:32She sounded so scared.
00:32:34But where was she calling from?
00:32:36I don't know.
00:32:37Okay, so you were supposed to meet her here, then what?
00:32:45She said she had to get out of London.
00:32:47And then what was the plan?
00:32:50Claire.
00:32:54My sister lives in Cornwall.
00:32:56Nina was going to stay with her for a bit until things blew over.
00:32:59Okay, so where is she now?
00:33:00I swear, I don't know.
00:33:02She was meant to meet us here.
00:33:03What, you and Michael?
00:33:04Yeah.
00:33:05He had to get back to the club.
00:33:07I thought I'd hang around for a few more minutes, see if she showed up.
00:33:16Is there something else you want to tell me?
00:33:21When I talked to Nina, I mean, she was worried about you guys and what happened with the gun,
00:33:26but I don't think that was the main thing.
00:33:30In fact, I'm sure it wasn't.
00:33:40Look, I've worked hard to build up my business.
00:33:44And Eddie Price is my best customer.
00:33:48He's also very powerful.
00:33:51With the police, Mr. Papertich, we have one or two powers of our own.
00:33:54All right.
00:33:57I think I know where this man, Ruka, had my registration number.
00:34:02Good.
00:34:03On Tuesday afternoon, I picked Mr. Price up from a club in Soho.
00:34:08Which one?
00:34:09Number 19.
00:34:10He's a member there.
00:34:12Good one.
00:34:13We'd only been going a minute when he told me to stop the car.
00:34:17He got out, crossed the road to a man on the other side.
00:34:21Thanks, Sarah.
00:34:34She's worried I'll say something, they'll lose my income.
00:34:40It was this man.
00:34:43They started arguing.
00:34:44What about him?
00:34:45Well, I couldn't hear it, but it got physical.
00:34:50Hence the bruise on his cheek.
00:34:51But it was nothing serious, though.
00:34:53It was just a silly playground scrap.
00:34:55When you say nothing serious, 24 hours later, one of them was dead.
00:34:59Of course.
00:35:00Look, I really want to help you, but is there a way you cannot tell Mr. Price that you heard
00:35:08this from me?
00:35:09He could ruin me.
00:35:11I appreciate the concern for your business, Mr. Pavlotic, but it's not one of my priorities,
00:35:15I'm afraid.
00:35:18So Melissa Booth was having an affair with Peter Ruka.
00:35:21Eddie Price flies into a jealous rage.
00:35:23Too clichéd, apparently.
00:35:24Yeah, well, every cliché has a kind of truth.
00:35:26Get Eddie Price in to make a statement.
00:35:29He can bring as many lawyers as he likes.
00:35:31Avers.
00:35:32What?
00:35:34Well, that's fantastic.
00:35:36OK, thanks.
00:35:37You might want to hold off and get Eddie Price in for a couple of hours.
00:35:39Why?
00:35:40They'll find our wounded intruder.
00:35:56Was there any particular reason to break into Mr. Ruka's flat last night?
00:36:04It says I did.
00:36:05Uh, your shoulder wound and the blood that we found at the scene.
00:36:09Answer my question, why Mr. Ruka's flat?
00:36:12Random selection.
00:36:13Oh, really?
00:36:14What were you after?
00:36:15Items of value.
00:36:17Like what?
00:36:18I was interrupted by a mad girl with a magnum.
00:36:22If it had been a magnum, you would have needed more than a plaster A&E.
00:36:25You're not a petty thief.
00:36:26No.
00:36:27I've seen your criminal record.
00:36:28You're classier than that.
00:36:30You flatter me.
00:36:31There's fraud, bugging, deactivation of alarm systems.
00:36:35Whatever you're doing in Ruka's flat is in that ballpark.
00:36:38When you were last in court, you should have gone down.
00:36:44But your youth and your ability with electronics persuaded the judge to spare you if you went
00:36:49to technical college.
00:36:50Yeah, how's that course going?
00:36:52I don't know.
00:36:54Dropped out.
00:36:55Which isn't going to go down well with the judge this time.
00:36:58You're going to need a kind word from me, Ruka.
00:37:00Thanks for the offer.
00:37:01No, no, no.
00:37:02That's the difference between six months and three years.
00:37:08What do you want?
00:37:11What have you got?
00:37:16All right.
00:37:18I was removing some bugs I put in a few weeks back.
00:37:21At whose request?
00:37:22That's the middle man.
00:37:23I don't know.
00:37:24You're going to need that kind word, Luke.
00:37:26Come on, help me to help you.
00:37:28I have.
00:37:28I told you what I was doing there.
00:37:31Three years, Luke.
00:37:32Well, that's 15% of your short, sad life.
00:37:36More.
00:37:37Who paid you to put the bugs in?
00:37:43Eddie Price.
00:37:52You are a clever man, Mr. Price.
00:37:55You almost made me believe you weren't like the rest of us.
00:37:58Insecure, jealous, selfish.
00:38:01But you are, aren't you?
00:38:03Just like the rest of us.
00:38:05I mean, more so.
00:38:05You probably get this all the time, but I really don't know what you're talking about.
00:38:10I'm talking about your wife.
00:38:12I'm talking about your attitude to your wife and your attitude to her lover, Peter Rooker.
00:38:17He's not her lover.
00:38:18You even managed to posit the theory, before I could, that you'd killed him.
00:38:24You dismissed it as cliché, if I remember.
00:38:26And it was.
00:38:28So is claiming that you had a collision with a toilet door.
00:38:31Are you going to bark all day, or are you going to bite?
00:38:35We have several witnesses who saw you attack Peter Rooker in Mordor Street three days ago.
00:38:45We had a row ended in the scuffle.
00:38:48Oh, I think it was more than...
00:38:50Who are these witnesses?
00:38:51Which is why you lied to me when I asked if you'd seen him.
00:38:56This row was about your wife, wasn't it?
00:38:59I trust my wife.
00:39:01He said that more convincingly the first time.
00:39:03It's true.
00:39:09This argument, this fight.
00:39:11What was the flashpoint?
00:39:13I think it was silly.
00:39:14I was sick of him sponging off her.
00:39:16Oh, so it was just business, then?
00:39:17Right.
00:39:20Now, you're a rich, prominent figure in society.
00:39:22We're almost famous.
00:39:24But you jump out of your car in broad daylight,
00:39:28and you attack a man in the street, in the middle of Soho.
00:39:31Now, that smacks to me more of personal than business.
00:39:33I had a few drinks at lunchtime, all right?
00:39:35You were in a jealous rage, Mr Price.
00:39:37I was stupid, I admit it.
00:39:38Stupid to show how violent your paranoia can make you.
00:39:41I'm not paranoid.
00:39:42And you're not violent either, I suppose.
00:39:43I'm only paranoid when there's nothing going on.
00:39:50You and Peter Rooker had rekindled the flame, hadn't you?
00:39:53Yes.
00:39:54Starting when?
00:39:57Two or three months ago.
00:39:59Why?
00:40:01I suppose it was always a case of when, why.
00:40:05So what made you wait ten years?
00:40:09I resisted my feelings.
00:40:12Plus, you had the distraction of being given a national newspaper.
00:40:15I wasn't given it.
00:40:16Oh, come on, Melissa.
00:40:17If Eddie Price had been an ordinary guy, you wouldn't have gone anywhere in the room.
00:40:19I resisted because I just take marriage seriously.
00:40:24Because I knew that me getting back together with Peter was Eddie's worst nightmare.
00:40:29What he'd always dreaded.
00:40:30Yeah, but that didn't stop you.
00:40:31I'm trying to reconcile Peter Rooker being the love of your life with your refusal to cooperate in our murder investigation.
00:40:47I am cooperating.
00:40:48I didn't want to hurt Eddie's feelings.
00:40:50That's all.
00:40:51Because without Eddie, you'd have to make it on your own, right?
00:40:53No, that's not it.
00:40:56Do you know that he beat Rooker up in the street?
00:41:00Peter gave as good as he got.
00:41:02Do you know that he paid someone to break into Rooker's flat to bug it so that he could listen to two of you together?
00:41:07What?
00:41:12That's impossible.
00:41:14Eddie didn't know about us.
00:41:17Evidently, he did.
00:41:21You're bluffing.
00:41:22I have a signed confession from the man who planted the bugs.
00:41:27Miss Booth, how well do you know your husband?
00:41:30Helpfully, Luke made copies of all the tapes before he passed them on to you.
00:41:39Is it necessary we hear these recordings?
00:41:42Well, insofar as it was necessary for your client to pay someone to break into a private residence to make them.
00:41:47Yes.
00:41:49What are you doing?
00:41:53Peter.
00:41:54Where's that freckle gone?
00:41:55It's still there.
00:41:57Don't backtrack.
00:41:58What shall I do?
00:41:58Do what you always do.
00:42:00Please yourself.
00:42:01You know that's not true.
00:42:02Do I?
00:42:04Eddie's a good man.
00:42:06It's not that easy for me.
00:42:08I don't think it could be easier.
00:42:10You're married to a man you don't love and you're sleeping with a man you do.
00:42:13Can we just leave it?
00:42:15The truth hurts.
00:42:18Forget Eddie for now.
00:42:19Come here.
00:42:23Surge me or let me go.
00:42:25Mr Pricewood.
00:42:26Can I go now?
00:42:269 p.m. last night.
00:42:28Where were you?
00:42:28I'm having dinner with my wife.
00:42:36We were together at number 19 having dinner.
00:42:40You were in Surho?
00:42:41Yes.
00:42:42What time did you arrive?
00:42:438.30.
00:42:45We didn't finish till after 11.
00:42:47And at any point during the dinner did your husband leave the table?
00:42:53Do you think that your husband is capable of murder?
00:42:55No.
00:42:57Or by proxy?
00:42:58Absolutely not.
00:43:00You don't know him.
00:43:02I do.
00:43:02Yeah, but you've been asking yourself that question, haven't you?
00:43:04It's ridiculous.
00:43:05It's ridiculous.
00:43:06It's ridiculous.
00:43:10It's ridiculous.
00:43:14At the back of my mind, I always thought Peter and I would be together.
00:43:22Someday.
00:43:24Or maybe you would have.
00:43:32Do you think he killed Peter?
00:43:33Do you think he did it?
00:43:34Thank you for answering my questions.
00:43:38I appreciate the position you're in.
00:43:42We're going to have to let Price go.
00:43:44Well, she backs up his alibi.
00:43:45As will everyone at number 19.
00:43:47And I bet he was there all night and left a big fat tip just so the waiters would remember him.
00:43:52Yeah, I asked her if she thought Eddie or anyone that he knew was capable of it, but...
00:43:56And of course she said no.
00:43:58You know, actually, I think if she knew something, she'd tell us.
00:44:02She loved Rooka.
00:44:04You know, I admire your faith in human nature, Havers.
00:44:20I am so sorry.
00:44:21You're lucky.
00:44:23You only had another two minutes.
00:44:25You'd have left without me.
00:44:26Yes.
00:44:26That's nice, that is.
00:44:28Are you still up for this restaurant?
00:44:30Because we don't have to.
00:44:31Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:44:32You're looking forward to it?
00:44:33Well, I've been looking forward to it.
00:44:36Tough day.
00:44:38Just lost our prime suspect.
00:44:40That was careless.
00:44:42Sorry.
00:44:45You were at the crime scene.
00:44:46For five minutes.
00:44:48But what did you make of it?
00:44:49Did anything in particular strike you?
00:44:55Oh, I'm sorry, of course.
00:44:56You don't want to talk about this, do you?
00:44:57I don't want to profile for the Met.
00:44:59That doesn't mean I won't help my husband with his homework.
00:45:02No, no, no.
00:45:02You're right.
00:45:03Sometimes work just takes over.
00:45:05I'm tired.
00:45:09Uh, more grumpy than tired.
00:45:12Well, let's forget the restaurant.
00:45:13No, no, no.
00:45:14I'll be fine.
00:45:15I just had a futile holiday, that's all.
00:45:17I'll be fine.
00:45:17Come on.
00:45:18Pizza delivery, a bottle of plonk, and then an early night for you, old man.
00:45:23Old man?
00:45:24Who are you calling old man?
00:45:25You know what's a great feeling?
00:45:27What?
00:45:27No matter how old we get, you'll always be older than me.
00:45:32You really know how to make me feel better about myself, don't you?
00:45:35It's something I pride myself on.
00:45:38You sure you don't mind about tonight?
00:45:40Let's go home.
00:45:41I've been thinking about your crime scene.
00:46:04Oh, yes?
00:46:06You've got five minutes.
00:46:11All the restaurants throw their rubbish out here during the course of the evening.
00:46:16If he'd put the body under there, it would have remained undetected till the next morning.
00:46:20Maybe he panicked.
00:46:22I don't think the nature of this killing indicates a person prone to panic.
00:46:25What then?
00:46:27I think, subconsciously, the killer wanted to make sure the body was found.
00:46:32Because he wants to get caught?
00:46:34Because he's proud of what he's done.
00:46:37The actual killing, how would you characterize that?
00:46:39Well, the manner of death is a possible indication of psychopathology.
00:46:45The first shot's the important one.
00:46:46The killer wants to inflict pain and induce fear.
00:46:49It's a power thing.
00:46:50He wants to make sure that the victim understands that he, the killer, has the power of life and death over him.
00:46:56Was there anything to suggest, say, a military connection?
00:46:59Er, bullets.
00:47:03Full metal jacket.
00:47:04Usually a military issue.
00:47:05So someone with a military background, then?
00:47:07Possibly, yeah.
00:47:08I'd say probably.
00:47:10He's adaptable.
00:47:11He's shot a man dead in a busy area, which suggests the manner of killing is second nature to him.
00:47:16He only has to concern himself with the environment.
00:47:18Because he's killed before.
00:47:19You're good, aren't you?
00:47:31At what?
00:47:33Lots of things.
00:47:34Some things.
00:47:36Not so good at getting home at a decent hour.
00:47:39We have to get used to neither of us being at home very much.
00:47:43I'm prepared to be at home for the right reason.
00:47:46Which is?
00:47:46Oh, right.
00:47:50Okay.
00:47:52You want to try again?
00:47:54Perhaps we could just try and stop getting in the way of it.
00:47:57If that's what you want.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:01I mean, more than anything.
00:48:07Havers?
00:48:07The trace on Nina's mobile is throwing up an interesting number.
00:48:10Michael Brain.
00:48:11What, RxPara?
00:48:12Yeah.
00:48:12They've spoken twice.
00:48:13Yeah, funny you didn't mention it.
00:48:14Well, run a background check on him.
00:48:17See what he's been doing since he left the army.
00:48:19How he's adapted to civilian life.
00:48:21Yeah, will do.
00:48:22Okay.
00:48:22Okay.
00:48:30I've been calling and calling.
00:48:33I know.
00:48:34Are you okay?
00:48:37And the baby?
00:48:38She's okay, too.
00:48:41She?
00:48:43Just a hunch.
00:48:47Look.
00:48:49You've got something I need back.
00:48:52I need the gun, Nina.
00:48:54I haven't got it.
00:48:55I got rid of it.
00:48:57Oh, great.
00:48:58What the hell did you think you were doing?
00:49:02Detective Inspector.
00:49:03Bastard!
00:49:04Look, Nina, I didn't call you.
00:49:05You didn't, Nina!
00:49:05You wait with me now.
00:49:08Nina!
00:49:11Nina!
00:49:11Nina!
00:49:31Nina!
00:49:33Please!
00:49:34Get up!
00:49:37Where's the gun?
00:49:39You told us you wouldn't take matters into your own hands, yet you met up with Nina.
00:49:43You've received two phone calls since we spoke.
00:49:44Why didn't you tell us?
00:49:45Because she made me promise.
00:49:47Oh, really?
00:49:47Even though she's been running around with your unlicensed gun?
00:49:50It was a mistake.
00:49:51When were you going to involve us?
00:49:52Next week?
00:49:53I was going to try and talk her around, get her to come in.
00:49:55Oh, really?
00:49:56It doesn't sound like it.
00:49:57She's fragile, scared.
00:49:59Of what?
00:50:03Come on.
00:50:04She must have told you something.
00:50:06Look, if I could help you, I would.
00:50:10You know, last time you said that, I believed you and regretted it.
00:50:12But this time it's true.
00:50:14It better be.
00:50:15Come on.
00:50:16Where is the gun, Nina?
00:50:28I threw it in the canal.
00:50:32Which one?
00:50:37What were you doing Friday night?
00:50:42Oh, come on, Nina.
00:50:43Nina, the night Peter was killed.
00:50:47I was in his flat.
00:50:49But you have your own place.
00:50:50I was hiding.
00:50:52Who from?
00:50:55From him?
00:50:57I'd never seen that man before that night.
00:51:00He just broke in.
00:51:05Were you aware that Peter had started a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Melissa Booth?
00:51:10Did it bother you?
00:51:12Why should it?
00:51:13Well, you weren't jealous at all.
00:51:14I didn't kill him, all right?
00:51:16Well, you let him have it.
00:51:17It was self-defense.
00:51:19Nina, you stole a gun.
00:51:20You were expecting to use it.
00:51:23Why?
00:51:23Why?
00:51:32What were you scared of?
00:51:34Who were you hiding from?
00:51:35Nina, we can help you, but I can't do anything with silence.
00:51:51Come on, sweetheart.
00:51:54You must have somebody who's scared of.
00:51:57Ever did I tell you?
00:51:58Nina, whatever you think, you are safer here than out there.
00:52:07Think of your baby.
00:52:18I'm not getting very far, am I?
00:52:23Tell him the truth.
00:52:26Come on, Nina.
00:52:27It might help him get whoever did this to Peter.
00:52:29I doubt it.
00:52:32We'll go through this.
00:52:35No.
00:52:38We won't.
00:52:42You don't have to feel guilty, Michael, honestly.
00:52:45I don't feel guilty.
00:52:46It's my responsibility.
00:52:49Sweetheart, I'm as responsible in this as you are.
00:52:52No.
00:52:54You're not.
00:53:02I still don't trust him.
00:53:10So, what are we doing?
00:53:12I think we bring in a psychologist.
00:53:16On a provisional basis.
00:53:20Anyone in mind?
00:53:23My name's Helen.
00:53:25I don't work for the police, Nina.
00:53:27I work at the university.
00:53:28I'm just a civilian, like you.
00:53:33Nothing you say to me can be used against you,
00:53:36or Michael, or anyone else.
00:53:38In fact, it's against the law for any of our conversation
00:53:40to be repeated in court.
00:53:46Did Peter take pictures of your town during the war?
00:53:56Is that where you met?
00:53:57By all accounts, he was a bit of a character.
00:54:07Liked a drink and a laugh.
00:54:09But he had a big heart, too, didn't he?
00:54:12He brought you back with him.
00:54:15You formed a bond.
00:54:19Like family.
00:54:20Nina, all these people want to protect you
00:54:27and find the man that killed Peter.
00:54:31But they need your help to do that.
00:54:44He was kind to me.
00:54:47He brought me to London.
00:54:49Gave me somewhere to live.
00:54:51Paid for the rest of my education.
00:54:53Right.
00:54:53Nina, I need you to tell me
00:54:56what it is you're afraid of.
00:55:00Is it someone from the past?
00:55:03From Bosnia?
00:55:04You can't protect me.
00:55:06From?
00:55:08From my fate.
00:55:15Look.
00:55:16If this man is in London,
00:55:18then we have a chance to catch him,
00:55:19and I think you owe it to Peter
00:55:20to give us that chance.
00:55:23I was going to my grandparents
00:55:36after school.
00:55:40It was my brother's birthday,
00:55:41and we'd organized him a party.
00:55:45My whole family lived together
00:55:46in the same town.
00:55:48We were Bosnian Muslims.
00:55:50My grandparents had this tiny house
00:55:53on the outskirts near the woods.
00:55:56When I got there,
00:55:58the place seemed deserted.
00:56:02Then I heard voices.
00:56:03I heard shouting.
00:56:10And then gunshots.
00:56:15I was terrified.
00:56:18I wanted to go home,
00:56:19but I was scared that he'd seen,
00:56:21so...
00:56:22I kept still.
00:56:24And all the time,
00:56:28the gunshots were going on and on.
00:56:31Not stopping.
00:56:33I needed to know what was happening.
00:56:36I was petrified,
00:56:37but I had to find out
00:56:38what was going on.
00:56:39There are some bodies
00:56:49already lying in the dirt.
00:56:54My grandparents.
00:56:55My little brother Mahir,
00:57:10he, uh...
00:57:11he couldn't stop crying.
00:57:14Their leader,
00:57:23he was one of our neighbors.
00:57:26He'd been a policeman
00:57:27during the war, he said.
00:57:31He said,
00:57:32save the kids from me.
00:57:33And he shot him like a dog.
00:57:47I heard someone behind me.
00:57:49I froze.
00:58:00It was Peter.
00:58:03And I heard my mother screaming.
00:58:10I knew what they were doing to her.
00:58:25And there were two more shots.
00:58:27And my screaming stopped her.
00:58:34Hey!
00:58:36My father
00:58:36pleaded with him.
00:58:41But the man who shot my brother
00:58:42just laughed.
00:58:43They'd killed everyone.
00:59:00After that,
00:59:13Peter didn't let me out of his sight.
00:59:15He brought me back to London.
00:59:20You said one of the men,
00:59:22the leader,
00:59:26was a neighbor.
00:59:29Do you remember his name?
00:59:32But he's in London.
00:59:35You saw him?
00:59:37No, but Peter did,
00:59:39or thought he did.
00:59:42He wouldn't rest until he was sure.
00:59:45And he made sure.
00:59:47Mr Price's driver.
01:00:05Did Peter tell you that?
01:00:06Himself?
01:00:07It was our last conversation.
01:00:14We've got our man, Havers.
01:00:16I think all this goes back to Bosnia.
01:00:17Yeah.
01:00:18Rooker sees Pavlotic in the fight with Eddie Price,
01:00:20and that's where he recognises him.
01:00:21Well, and then what?
01:00:22And Peter Rooker takes matters into his own hands?
01:00:24Well, let's find out.
01:00:25Is your husband in, Mrs Pavlotic?
01:00:31He's out on a job.
01:00:33When do you expect him home?
01:00:34Well, he said he wouldn't be back till late.
01:00:37Perhaps we could talk to you instead.
01:00:41Sorry about the mess.
01:00:43Have you ever heard your husband mention a Peter Rooker?
01:00:47No, I don't think so.
01:00:50Well, have you noticed any changes in your husband recently?
01:00:53Well, he was worried about that Eddie Price business,
01:00:56that he'd have to testify to Price beating that man up.
01:00:59That man was Peter Rooker.
01:01:02Right.
01:01:03I didn't know that.
01:01:06Anyway, that's all done with now, isn't it?
01:01:08Oh, absolutely.
01:01:09Your husband was most cooperative on that issue.
01:01:11Look, I really need to get on.
01:01:14Is there anything else?
01:01:16Two nights ago, Peter Rooker was found murdered,
01:01:19shot dead in Soho.
01:01:21This is him.
01:01:23I want you to think very carefully before you answer this question.
01:01:27Do you know the man in that picture?
01:01:35He came to the house.
01:01:37I didn't catch his name.
01:01:39When?
01:01:40Three or four days ago.
01:01:42He said he was a friend of Andrea's.
01:01:44He left a photo and his phone number.
01:01:47Can we see it?
01:01:48No.
01:01:48I gave it to my husband.
01:01:50I don't know what he did with it.
01:01:52Describe it.
01:01:54Well, it was a photo of a road sign riddled with bullet holes.
01:01:59Sanski Most, Andrea's hometown.
01:02:01And what did your husband say when he saw the photograph?
01:02:04That it was an old friend and that he'd give him a call when he had a chance.
01:02:07I was quite relieved, to be honest.
01:02:10Why?
01:02:11Well, I wasn't sure whether the man really was a friend of Andrea's.
01:02:14Well, he'd asked too many questions.
01:02:17What kind of questions?
01:02:19How long had he been here and when did we get married?
01:02:22And was Andrea definitely from Sanski Most?
01:02:25But you answered them.
01:02:27Yes.
01:02:28Mrs Pavlotic, two nights ago, what time did your husband come home?
01:02:32Ten.
01:02:33Ten-thirty.
01:02:34Did he do anything out of the ordinary?
01:02:36Wash his clothes, take a shower?
01:02:39He just had a cup of tea and he read the papers like he always does.
01:02:42Do you know if your husband owns a gun?
01:02:44You think he killed that man, don't you?
01:02:46We have to eliminate him from our inquiry.
01:02:48That's ridiculous.
01:02:49Andrea is the most decent, hard-working man I've ever met.
01:02:53In Bosnia, he was a policeman like you.
01:02:55But you don't see that.
01:02:56You see a foreigner, an immigrant looking for a handout.
01:02:59Mrs Pavlovich.
01:03:00My parents were just the same, that's why I don't speak to them anymore.
01:03:03Does he own a gun?
01:03:04No, he doesn't.
01:03:05He's a chauffeur, for God's sake.
01:03:11Winston, are we up and running?
01:03:13Yes, we are.
01:03:15If she calls his mobile or vice versa, triangulation, she'd give us his location inside three minutes.
01:03:21Thanks.
01:03:22I'd better go.
01:03:25Sir?
01:03:26Go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:03:29Go, go, go, go!
01:03:34I'm going to go!
01:03:44No!
01:03:45Go!
01:03:50No!
01:03:51Oh, my God.
01:04:21I'm sorry.
01:04:45Sorry.
01:04:47My panic.
01:04:49I'm going to lose my driver's license now.
01:04:51Come.
01:04:53You are under arrest.
01:04:54One suspicion of the murder of Peter Rooker.
01:04:57You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defense
01:04:59if, when questioned, you later rely on something important.
01:05:02Is he here?
01:05:03Where is he?
01:05:04You're quite safe, Nina, but I need you to do something for me.
01:05:06What?
01:05:06Look at these pictures.
01:05:10Who are these people?
01:05:11Random license, or, well, random apart from one.
01:05:14I need you to identify the man you believe killed your family.
01:05:16Okay.
01:05:31Well, I can't tell you the second where I was at eight o'clock that night,
01:05:35but I keep a log, so it shouldn't be a problem.
01:05:39It's my home being searched.
01:05:40Does that bother you?
01:05:41No, of course not.
01:05:43As a policeman in Bosnia, did you receive firearms training?
01:05:47Yes.
01:05:49Would you consider yourself a good shot?
01:05:52Well, to average.
01:05:56Look, I did not kill this man.
01:05:59I'm a peaceful person, and I always was.
01:06:02Even in the war?
01:06:03Especially in the war.
01:06:05I mean, it was an exercise in absurdity,
01:06:07but I tried as long and hard as I could
01:06:09to do my job, to uphold the law.
01:06:12You told your wife that Rooker was an old friend.
01:06:15Is that true?
01:06:16Sure. He was a photographer covering the war.
01:06:19We struck up a friendship.
01:06:21So why, after three years of living here,
01:06:23have you never tried to contact him?
01:06:26According to your wife,
01:06:27he didn't even know that you'd settled here.
01:06:29Well, I tried to find him
01:06:31so we could kick around all the time.
01:06:32You are a liar, Mr. Pavlotic.
01:06:35A bloody liar.
01:06:38Yes, you had some old times, Mr. Rooker,
01:06:40but they were not the kind that you would chat about over a cold beer.
01:06:43But they were the kind that you might kill to keep from coming out.
01:06:47Like murdering entire families, for example.
01:06:50Obviously, you have a witness.
01:06:58Someone from Bosnia
01:07:00who is claiming I did all these terrible things.
01:07:05Are they reliable?
01:07:07Do they have photographs?
01:07:10Do they have proof?
01:07:12No.
01:07:14They've made a mistake.
01:07:15Don't try and second-guess us.
01:07:18What else can I do
01:07:20when you hold all the cards?
01:07:22Did you call Rooker
01:07:23on the number he left your wife?
01:07:25Yes, I did.
01:07:26And?
01:07:28We arranged for him
01:07:29to come up to the house at the weekend.
01:07:31So when Eddie Price attacked Peter Rooker,
01:07:36why didn't you go to defend your old friend?
01:07:39Well, to tell you the truth,
01:07:40I didn't recognise him.
01:07:43He put on weight.
01:07:44He looked older.
01:07:52I'm not a killer.
01:07:53Back home, I had authority.
01:07:59Here I have nothing but my name,
01:08:02and you're destroying it
01:08:03with every second that I'm in here.
01:08:05No one wants to be driven around
01:08:06by somebody they think is a Serbian gangster.
01:08:20I think I'd like my phone call now.
01:08:23That's all right.
01:08:26He's only got the best criminal lawyer in Christendom.
01:08:29Michael Ackland?
01:08:30Who paid for him?
01:08:31Eddie Price.
01:08:32That's who he made his phone call to.
01:08:34How about the house search?
01:08:35Forensics found nothing,
01:08:37ballistics or otherwise,
01:08:38but they've discovered he keeps a lock-up nearby.
01:08:41That sounds promising.
01:08:42Yeah, it better be.
01:08:43I won't have to tell Nina that he's walking.
01:08:52He's note perfect.
01:08:53Well, if he's a sociopath,
01:08:55that's no big surprise.
01:08:56Robert De Niro, eat your heart out.
01:08:58All we've got on him is Nina's story.
01:09:00So not enough to charge him?
01:09:02Not yet.
01:09:03Hmm.
01:09:04By the way, you were a star in there with Nina.
01:09:07Did I tell you that?
01:09:08You didn't need to.
01:09:09Well, you were.
01:09:10Look, I've not got much on.
01:09:12Do you want me to wait around and keep an eye on her?
01:09:14Oh, you've done enough.
01:09:15Well, more then.
01:09:16Tommy, if you have to let him go,
01:09:18she's going to be a mess,
01:09:20and I don't reckon much to boyfriend Michael.
01:09:23Hmm.
01:09:24I love you.
01:09:26Hmm.
01:09:26Which OTT told me.
01:09:28Yes, would have done.
01:09:30Sir.
01:09:30Excuse me.
01:09:31All right.
01:09:32That grandchild's come through with Michael Raine.
01:09:34Five years ago,
01:09:34he was arrested after an arms trafficking bust.
01:09:37Now, he got off lack of evidence,
01:09:38but four of his co-defendants weren't so lucky,
01:09:40including one Brendan Maguire.
01:09:42Now, Maguire squealed,
01:09:43and they cut his sentence in half.
01:09:45We never did find out where Rooka got his gun, did we?
01:09:47No, but Maguire seems like a good bet.
01:09:49So Rooka needed you to broker the deal, then?
01:09:51That's why you've been holding out this from the start, isn't it?
01:09:53Despite your best efforts to appear accommodating...
01:09:55You know, we could never figure out what he was doing
01:09:56between eight and nine, the last hour of his life.
01:09:58He was busy buying a gun, wasn't he?
01:10:00I have no idea.
01:10:02Now, ballistics will trace that back to Brendan Maguire.
01:10:04Yeah, and on past phone,
01:10:05Brendan Maguire will sing from the rooftops
01:10:06to avoid going to jail.
01:10:07Which means he'll implicate you.
01:10:10Look, men.
01:10:12Whatever it is you've done,
01:10:14it's better that we hear it from you, not from him.
01:10:18Look, Peter came to me, said he needed a gun,
01:10:20or he was a dead man.
01:10:22He was my best mate.
01:10:24What was I supposed to do?
01:10:25Are you going to show me?
01:10:32Nothing from Pavlotic's lock-up.
01:10:34What was in there?
01:10:35Furniture, books,
01:10:37usual sort of household stuff,
01:10:39that'll see the rubbish tip before it sees another home.
01:10:41So what have we got on Pavlotic,
01:10:43other than motive?
01:10:44Getting to Rooka before Rooka got to him.
01:10:46That's the motive I mean.
01:10:49Well, he was in the vicinity of the crime
01:10:51at the right time.
01:10:53Access and motive.
01:10:55That's it.
01:10:56That does not add up to a conviction.
01:10:59I know.
01:11:00We're going to have to release him.
01:11:02We do not have anything substantial enough
01:11:03to hold him with.
01:11:05Things we'd better lose the battle and win the war.
01:11:08OK.
01:11:10OK.
01:11:11I'm Lisa.
01:11:12I'm going to tell Nina the bad news.
01:11:21So what time did you get here?
01:11:23We left number 19 at about 8 o'clock.
01:11:25It's a five-minute walk,
01:11:26so it must have been about 5 past, 10 past.
01:11:28OK, and then what?
01:11:30Made the introductions,
01:11:31headed back to the bar.
01:11:32It was a Friday night.
01:11:32Busy, busy, busy.
01:11:33What about Rooka?
01:11:34Well, he finished his pint.
01:11:37Actually, it was his second pint.
01:11:38What, on his own?
01:11:39Brandon was chatting to him.
01:11:41Wasn't he busy, busy, busy?
01:11:42Peter just handed him two grand
01:11:44for the Smith & Wesson.
01:11:45I think it was the least he could do.
01:11:46I've told you everything I know.
01:11:48Can I go now?
01:11:49No.
01:11:49See, Michael,
01:11:50every time you've told us everything,
01:11:51there seems to be a whole new thrilling instalment.
01:11:54Come on.
01:11:54Sorry, Lise.
01:12:04How the hell did they trace it to me?
01:12:06It doesn't matter, Mr. Maguire, we did.
01:12:09Now, Peter Rooka had the dubious pleasure
01:12:10of spending the last hour of his life with you.
01:12:12What did you talk about?
01:12:13Are you kidding me?
01:12:14He was nuts.
01:12:15Nuts? How?
01:12:16Well, kept banging on about genocide and murder
01:12:19and scars that wouldn't heal
01:12:21and bodies that wouldn't stay buried.
01:12:22But you illegally sold him a firearm, anyway.
01:12:25Okay, yeah.
01:12:25He's a grown-up.
01:12:27Well, his mental condition
01:12:28didn't even give you pause for thought.
01:12:30Well, he told me that Rooka
01:12:32was a famous war photographer,
01:12:34that he could handle himself.
01:12:35But then we left here
01:12:36and an hour later,
01:12:37there was a shooting around the corner.
01:12:39What, and you didn't get in contact with us?
01:12:40I thought it was my gun.
01:12:42Well, rest easy.
01:12:43Rooka never got a round-off.
01:12:44Not that it would have stopped much.
01:12:45Look, I'm sorry the geezer's dead,
01:12:48but it weren't my fault.
01:12:49Okay, when he left here,
01:12:50did you see anyone following him?
01:12:52No.
01:12:53Well, did you see anyone watching you
01:12:54while you were chatting?
01:12:56Well, not that I noticed.
01:12:58What?
01:13:00But when I said the CCTV
01:13:01weren't working round the back...
01:13:03What, you were lying?
01:13:04Look, it's no big deal.
01:13:05You can't make the bloke out.
01:13:06The quality ain't that good.
01:13:08Look, trust me, Mr. McGuire,
01:13:09it is a big deal.
01:13:10I need you to show me it now.
01:13:11Look, I recognised him.
01:13:23I picked him out.
01:13:24I'm sorry, but it's not over yet.
01:13:26Yes, it is.
01:13:27Nina.
01:13:29Helen.
01:13:30It's all right.
01:13:31Nina?
01:13:31Nina?
01:13:31I'm sorry, but it's all right.
01:14:31I've got video to prove it.
01:15:01We've just let him go.
01:15:02Okay, I'm on my way back now.
01:15:14Winston, with me.
01:15:15What?
01:15:15Perpetage.
01:15:16Nina, confronting him won't help!
01:15:25Nina.
01:15:26Nina, stop.
01:15:28Who are you?
01:15:45Nina.
01:15:46Put the gun down.
01:15:50They're taking him back in!
01:15:54Nina.
01:15:55Put the gun down.
01:15:56They're taking him back in!
01:15:57He's going to prison now, Nina.
01:15:58Put the gun down.
01:15:59You said that the last time.
01:16:00No, this time, Nina, we've got proof.
01:16:01Look.
01:16:02I am not who you think I am.
01:16:06I am not who you think I am.
01:16:07I swear to you.
01:16:08Nina.
01:16:09Get out of the way.
01:16:10Get out of the way.
01:16:11Don't ruin your life.
01:16:12He's going to jail for the rest of his.
01:16:13Please.
01:16:14Please.
01:16:15Please.
01:16:35Don't ruin your life.
01:16:36He's going to jail for the rest of his.
01:16:39Please.
01:16:44You don't need it anymore Nina. Put the gun down. Down on the ground.
01:17:14No spying in Bosnians.
01:17:44She's gone.
01:17:50You need to let me try, sir.
01:17:55One, two, three, four five, six, seven...
01:18:00Eight, nine, ten, ten!
01:18:04Wow.
01:18:14We have entrusted Helen to God's mercy,
01:18:38and ensure the certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ,
01:18:45who will transform our frail others,
01:18:48that they may be fulfilled in His promise.
01:18:52Amen.
01:19:08Amen.
01:19:38Amen.
01:20:08Amen.
01:20:38Amen.
01:21:08Amen.
01:21:09Amen.
01:21:10Amen.
01:21:11Amen.
01:21:12Amen.
01:21:13Amen.
01:21:14Amen.
01:21:15Amen.
01:21:16Amen.
01:21:17Amen.
01:21:18Amen.
01:21:19Amen.
01:21:20Amen.
01:21:21Amen.
01:21:22Amen.
01:21:23Amen.
01:21:24What are you doing here?
01:21:26I don't know.
01:21:27Just...letting you know when you're ready... that there is a world out there.
01:21:37It's just what she'd say.
01:21:43I know.
01:21:45You know what I'd say back?
01:21:49The world can wait a couple of minutes.
01:22:07The world can wait a couple of minutes.
