00:00:00AVAILABLE NOW
00:00:30I'm going down East Street, all right?
00:00:48All right.
00:01:00Morning, Mia.
00:01:02Mm?
00:01:03Oh, yeah.
00:01:04Hi, Professor.
00:01:23These high winds should die down by mid-eath,
00:01:26but the 4th Road Bridge will remain closed to high safety vehicles
00:01:29until at least 6 p.m.
00:01:31In the west of the country, where I'm afraid it's more bad news,
00:01:34the sun's not really going to come out at all today.
00:01:37Heavily overcast skies will lead to prolonged, sometimes, wintery showers,
00:01:41and watch out for some strong Tegelforce winds.
00:01:44These shooties off by late afternoon,
00:01:46but it's good to be a call.
00:01:48The clearing skies will bring with them temperatures
00:01:51towards the lights from the waves,
00:01:53for jackals and the fregelous driving stations.
00:01:56in the west of the country.
00:01:58Oh!
00:01:59Oh!
00:02:00Oh!
00:02:01Oh!
00:02:02Oh!
00:02:03Oh!
00:02:04Oh!
00:02:05Oh!
00:02:06Oh!
00:02:07Oh!
00:02:08Oh!
00:02:09Oh!
00:02:10Oh!
00:02:11Oh!
00:02:20So, Miss Hassan seemed in good health when you saw her?
00:02:23Yes.
00:02:24Yes, she was her normal self.
00:02:27And what was that, exactly?
00:02:29just incredibly focused.
00:02:34I mean, she'd say hello, but she was impatient with small talk.
00:02:39What was she working on?
00:02:41Haematology.
00:02:43Collectors on us.
00:02:45Sir, we spoke to a few students and the security guard on the gate.
00:02:50Nothing.
00:02:50The girl seemed fine.
00:02:54We're all clear.
00:02:56Whatever killed her, killed her in there.
00:02:59Is there a case to investigate here?
00:03:03I mean, if you're brain tumours, whatever, and go, just like that.
00:03:08That's a comforting thought, Robbie.
00:03:10Well, the post-bottom will tell us for sure.
00:03:12But to me, this feels like a crime scene.
00:03:14So let's treat it that way. I want everything bagged and tagged.
00:03:18No visible injuries.
00:03:20Sir, this was in her bag.
00:03:23Adrenaline.
00:03:24That can be used for anaphylactic shock.
00:03:26Did she die of an allergic reaction?
00:03:27To something she ate or drank.
00:03:31These biscuits.
00:03:33Was she going for the syringe?
00:03:35The reaction can be immediate.
00:03:37They smell nutty.
00:03:40It seems strange that someone with a nut allergy would be eating stuff with nuts in it.
00:03:45Maybe it was an accident.
00:03:47Could have been tampered with.
00:03:48Get them analysed.
00:03:49See if they tie up with the contents of her stomach.
00:03:51Well, if this is a murder weapon, could these be the motive?
00:03:58The use of animals in our research is absolutely essential.
00:04:02There are people out there who take against that kind of thing.
00:04:05Militants.
00:04:06Well, if there's no trouble from them.
00:04:08Look, maybe you should talk to Professor Murray and our legal faculty.
00:04:12Is it Sean Murray?
00:04:13Yes.
00:04:14Any security issues are referred to his office.
00:04:17Thanks.
00:04:20You know this Murray guy?
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:23He was a friend of my husband's.
00:04:24All right, I'll leave him to you then.
00:04:26I try to avoid lawyers whenever possible.
00:04:27This is where I lost Saul Mia.
00:04:52Yes.
00:04:53Yeah, of course.
00:04:54I'll keep you up to speed.
00:04:55Yep, I'll talk to the police as soon as possible.
00:05:00OK.
00:05:00OK, bye-bye.
00:05:06No time like the present?
00:05:07Jackie.
00:05:09I hoped you might be around.
00:05:12Hello.
00:05:13How are you doing?
00:05:15Yeah, I'm OK.
00:05:16Oh, it's good to see you.
00:05:18Yeah, you too.
00:05:20It's just a shame it's under such awful circumstances.
00:05:22So the girl was actually murdered.
00:05:25Well, we're not sure as yet, but it's looking that way.
00:05:28Did I hear you saying you were coming to see us?
00:05:30Yeah, the university have asked me to liaise.
00:05:32I'm going to need a word with your gaffer.
00:05:34I think you're safer with me.
00:05:35I think you were looking at me.
00:05:37I think you were looking at me.
00:05:38Yeah, it's me.
00:05:40I think you were looking at me.
00:05:41Yeah.
00:05:41Yeah, it's me.
00:05:42Yeah, it's me.
00:06:06Something's going on.
00:06:07You should go over here.
00:06:10I had meant to call you, Jack.
00:06:12I had meant to call you, but, well.
00:06:15It's okay.
00:06:17I know.
00:06:18What do you say to somebody who's lost their ex-husband?
00:06:21There's definitely a gap in the sympathy card market.
00:06:24Still, it's great that you made your peace
00:06:26and that you were there for him in the end.
00:06:28Well, you and Michelle would be the same.
00:06:30Oh, I don't know about that.
00:06:32Our divorce is a lot messier than yours.
00:06:34Not that I'm looking for sympathy.
00:06:36So it's better to close yourself off
00:06:38and concentrate on your work.
00:06:40Are you having a go at me?
00:06:42Just speaking from experience.
00:06:43You see, I can do both.
00:06:45You're a hard case, Jackie Reid.
00:06:47Nah, you don't know the half of it.
00:06:48So your workload includes monitoring any hate mail or threats against university staff?
00:06:56Yeah.
00:06:57I set up protocols for any department doing anything even remotely controversial.
00:07:01Stem cell, animal research, that sort of thing.
00:07:03Anything that's even slightly dodgy gets passed on to me.
00:07:06And?
00:07:07Nothing.
00:07:08Nothing at all.
00:07:09What do you think you're doing, mate?
00:07:10His job?
00:07:13Keep shooting, Miles.
00:07:14You're right.
00:07:15Who are you?
00:07:16Jessica Flowers, politics and media.
00:07:18Who runs a student newspaper?
00:07:20She's going to edit her own tabloid by the time she's 30.
00:07:23Right, Jess?
00:07:2427, actually.
00:07:26So, what can you tell me about the murder, Miss?
00:07:29Reid.
00:07:31Detective Sergeant Reid.
00:07:33Who says anything about a murder?
00:07:34Oh, come on.
00:07:38Yeah, well, maybe you should speak to my superior, DCI Burke.
00:07:47She's a bit full-on, isn't she?
00:07:49Yep.
00:07:51I suppose I'm going to love her.
00:07:53No comment.
00:07:55I haven't asked you anything yet.
00:07:56No, but you've got a gleam in your eye and I don't like it.
00:07:59Well, what about you, then?
00:08:01Are you a bit more cooperative?
00:08:02Eh, like the man said, no comment.
00:08:06Do you always do what you're told?
00:08:08How boring.
00:08:09Eh, you need to invest in a zoom lens and keep you out of people's way.
00:08:15Was Mia killed for being a Muslim?
00:08:17Is this a hate crime?
00:08:23What's going on?
00:08:25Mia sounds dead.
00:08:32That lassie's not the only one going to be asking the race question.
00:08:46The minute you mention colour or religion, you've muddied the waters.
00:08:49I'm not making any statements until we don't know.
00:08:51I think she'll be making statements in spite of us.
00:08:53I've got more in my mind than Lois Lane right now.
00:08:55We found an adrenaline syringe in Mia's bag, Mr. Hassan.
00:09:10She's...
00:09:10She was allergic to nuts, Chief Inspector.
00:09:15Any kind of nut.
00:09:17Could she have eaten something by mistake, do you think?
00:09:20Definitely not.
00:09:21She was meticulous about her diet.
00:09:23I think that's how she was.
00:09:28Someone gave her.
00:09:30Who outside of your family might know about Mia's allergy?
00:09:35Anyone who had to.
00:09:37She knew how dangerous it could be.
00:09:40Was there anyone in particular?
00:09:42I mean, a boyfriend, for instance, wanted to ask her out for a meal,
00:09:46take her out for dinner.
00:09:47I don't think she ever really had a boyfriend.
00:09:50All she did was study.
00:09:53Did you come in so much contact with Mia Hassan yourself?
00:09:57Not really.
00:09:58Science crowd all stay in their own geeky little world.
00:10:01What?
00:10:02Unlike the cool students with their 200-year-old law books, you mean?
00:10:05They're all sexy.
00:10:06We get to stand up and shout, I object.
00:10:10I suppose Mia did make an impression, though.
00:10:12In what way?
00:10:13Well, I sit at an awards panel, you know, PhD scholarships, student of the year, that sort of thing.
00:10:18Mia was up for the Rayburn Prize.
00:10:20It's an annual award for the most promising student.
00:10:24Poor girl.
00:10:25Have you heard of the news, Professor?
00:10:32Ruth, yes, yeah.
00:10:34I've just been talking to Detective Sergeant Reid about her.
00:10:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:38You a friend of Mia's?
00:10:39Well, I saw her about a bit, but I wouldn't call her a pal.
00:10:42So did she have many friends?
00:10:44You know, I don't think she did.
00:10:45I mean, she wasn't a sad case or anything, but she just spent a lot of time working.
00:10:50I was...
00:10:51Can I ask you something?
00:10:53I mean, are you the right person?
00:10:55Well, fire away and we'll soon find out.
00:10:57OK, well, I was going to organise a vigil, you know, non-denominational,
00:11:01just a chance for people to show they care.
00:11:04It's very nice, considering you weren't really friends.
00:11:06Well, I'm the chair of the student council, so I kind of feel like it's my responsibility.
00:11:10Would that be a problem?
00:11:11Don't see why.
00:11:13OK, thanks.
00:11:13I'll get on to it.
00:11:15I'm sure now, yeah, I should make tracks.
00:11:20Okey-doke.
00:11:21I'll call you if I've anything to liaise about.
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:27Jackie.
00:11:28Maybe I'll call you even if we don't.
00:11:45Do you say religion played a major part in your daughter's life?
00:11:56Here it comes.
00:11:57Young Muslim woman, wears a headdress, reads the Koran, must be a fanatic.
00:12:02No, I didn't say that, son.
00:12:04That's what you're thinking.
00:12:05If she was a white girl, you wouldn't...
00:12:08What we do in every case, Mr. Hassan, is look for motive.
00:12:11If you want a motive, see the colour of her skin.
00:12:16Robbie, take the laptop in.
00:12:26We'll investigate every possibility, Mr. Hassan.
00:12:29I can promise you that.
00:12:30Anaphylactic shock brought on by exposure to a substance to which the victim was critically
00:12:41allergic.
00:12:42In this case...
00:12:43Nuts.
00:12:44Nut oil, to be precise.
00:12:46Extremely concentrated.
00:12:48How did it get into her system?
00:12:51She ate it.
00:12:52There was an undigested biscuit in her stomach.
00:12:54Same as the ones in the Tupperware box?
00:12:56Yes, and they were contaminated too.
00:12:58Deliberately?
00:12:59Well, it seems that the oil was sprayed onto the Tupperware using some kind of aerosol.
00:13:04There are considerable traces of oil even now.
00:13:07You'd have to know me yet pretty well to know that would kill her.
00:13:18All right, you all know the drill.
00:13:22Body language, emotional outbursts, all around shiftiness.
00:13:27Whatever poisoned me, I'm not close enough to find out her allergy.
00:13:31If this is where she spent most of her time, this is where she met her killer.
00:13:48Thanks, guys.
00:13:59Thanks, everyone.
00:14:02I hope wherever Mia is now, she knows it will miss her.
00:14:06And we hope that she's at peace.
00:14:10I'm Chief Inspector Buck.
00:14:12Before you all go back to your homes, I'd like to make an appeal for your help.
00:14:15Now, we're all here tonight to pay our respects to Mia.
00:14:19Believe me, the best way to do that is to help bring whoever was responsible for her murder to justice.
00:14:27Talk to me.
00:14:29Talk to my team.
00:14:31Any information you might have, no matter how trivial you think it is, could prove useful.
00:14:36This was a brilliant young woman.
00:14:39A promising life brought to a terrible, premature end.
00:14:43I hope I can count on your cooperation.
00:14:47I'm sorry.
00:14:49There's no need to be.
00:14:50It's Miss Haynes, isn't it?
00:14:51You, er, organised all this.
00:14:53Please, it was Ruth.
00:14:55I thought it was the least I could do.
00:14:57Well, you could do more.
00:14:59You could talk to me.
00:15:00Encourage the other students to do the same.
00:15:02Okay?
00:15:03Okay.
00:15:04So, how well did you actually know Mia?
00:15:12I'm not very well.
00:15:12I had to do this from last class.
00:15:16Smart move.
00:15:16Why's that?
00:15:19Coming here and engaging with the students.
00:15:21Well, we need information.
00:15:22They're the best people to give it to us.
00:15:24There's more to it than that.
00:15:25You think the killer's here on this campus?
00:15:27Look, Sean.
00:15:29I know we're friends, but I can't really give you any details of the investigation.
00:15:33Of course, I know.
00:15:34I'm sorry.
00:15:35I shouldn't even be fishing.
00:15:36It's just I see these cases in court, never at the crime scene.
00:15:39The novelty will wear off, I promise you.
00:15:42So, we're friends, are we?
00:15:44Well, yes.
00:15:46Honestly, you two can't keep away from each other, can you?
00:15:54She's trying to wind you up, you know.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:15:58It's working.
00:16:00Look, Sean, I need to try and keep this on a professional basis.
00:16:04Understood.
00:16:06For now, anyway.
00:16:08Anything.
00:16:09Loads.
00:16:10She worked hard.
00:16:12She kept herself to herself.
00:16:13Yeah, didn't have a boyfriend, didn't drink, didn't do drugs.
00:16:17She didn't do anything.
00:16:20I know it might sound callous, but the only interesting thing that ever happened to Mia was being murdered.
00:16:25Might sound callous?
00:16:26Don't expect any humanity, Stuart.
00:16:29This young lady wants to be a journalist when she grows up.
00:16:32That's right, I do.
00:16:33And I think there should be a much warmer relationship between the press and the police.
00:16:38We have media advisers these days.
00:16:41It's not quite the same as one-to-one contact, is it?
00:16:45You can call me any time.
00:16:46Or just, er, drop into Bar 101.
00:16:49I'm there most afternoons.
00:16:51Oh, you like a drink, do you, Jessica?
00:16:53Oh, you probably will make a good journalist then.
00:16:55Progress?
00:16:55May be.
00:16:58I wasn't talking to you.
00:16:59I'm still not.
00:17:01We're here to ask questions, no answer them.
00:17:05Ah.
00:17:06You lads making friends?
00:17:09The journalists have friends.
00:17:11Let me guess.
00:17:12The one thing you hate more than a journalist is a lawyer.
00:17:14Good guess.
00:17:15Sir, this is Professor Sean Murray.
00:17:17He's head of the legal faculty.
00:17:19You'll have developed a thick skin then.
00:17:21Like a rhino.
00:17:22Jackie here's been filling me in on the investigation.
00:17:26Yeah, well, er, we won't keep you, Sean.
00:17:29Okay, well, you know where to find me.
00:17:31Gentlemen.
00:17:39What?
00:17:41All right, sure, let's get Mia's computer fired up.
00:17:44Can you do that?
00:17:45I need to get somebody from IT in.
00:17:46No, I can do it.
00:17:47Besides, I know what we're looking for.
00:17:50T.S. Reid.
00:17:53No, you're not wasting any time.
00:17:55See if she had any more friends in cyberspace than she had in the real world.
00:17:59Keep an eye out for any mention of an allergy.
00:18:01Can I have to find out from somewhere?
00:18:03Yeah, I should go.
00:18:04I'll call you back.
00:18:05Bye.
00:18:08Anything interesting?
00:18:10Nope.
00:18:11Personal call.
00:18:12Hmm.
00:18:13I call that fascinating.
00:18:14Listen, we're trying to get inside Mia's head here.
00:18:18See if we can find a reason why the lassie was killed.
00:18:20Do you think you could gossip in your own time?
00:18:22Since when do we get our own time?
00:18:24It's just really, really awful when you stop to think about it.
00:18:43In fact, I could sort of do with a shoulder to cry on.
00:18:46Well, anything else would be a bonus, obviously.
00:18:55OK, I'll wait on the corner.
00:18:59God, you have to light us so much.
00:19:02Sorry.
00:19:03Sorry, I was going to show you some photos from the vigil.
00:19:05Well, tomorrow's fine for those.
00:19:06I told you that.
00:19:07No sauce, mate, just a couple of biscuits.
00:19:15Thanks.
00:19:16Oh, it's a shame you're working late tonight.
00:19:19Could be out with a handsome professor.
00:19:22I've known him for years.
00:19:23Hmm.
00:19:24Yeah, all that simmering sexual tension slowly building up.
00:19:29Neither of you thinking you can do anything about it?
00:19:31Robbie.
00:19:33Only now you're single.
00:19:34So what's stopping you?
00:19:36Maybe nothing.
00:19:37Oh, right.
00:19:39Thought that might shut you up.
00:19:42You know why it might work out for you and him?
00:19:45No, tell me old great and wise one.
00:19:48And see, if you'd just met him, you'd be thinking,
00:19:50I don't trust him.
00:19:51You'd be putting up barriers.
00:19:52Well, you do.
00:19:53But as it is, you've let your guard down just enough to realise
00:19:56you actually fancy this guy.
00:20:00How's that for great and wise?
00:20:01Anything?
00:20:09Mostly scientific jargon we can't understand.
00:20:12Mostly?
00:20:12Well, these are a lot more interesting.
00:20:15Lots of chats online with somebody called Luke.
00:20:17Meant to be in Seattle.
00:20:19Meant to be.
00:20:20It's all pretty innocuous.
00:20:22Personal stuff.
00:20:23But there's lots of it, so I thought I'd trace the ID.
00:20:25See if I could contact the guy direct.
00:20:28Hmm.
00:20:28Well, that makes sense.
00:20:29Yeah, but we can't find him.
00:20:31He's set up firewalls, false trails.
00:20:34Thing is, he could just be paranoid about getting hacked into.
00:20:37Well, it could be he's deliberately hiding who and where he is.
00:20:40Email him, Stuart.
00:20:41Tell me you need to chat about me or Hassan.
00:20:44So, what are we thinking?
00:20:45A stalker?
00:20:46I'm thinking it's 16 hours since the murder
00:20:48and all got us a bunch of dodgy emails.
00:20:50I'm thinking it's 16 hours.
00:21:20Jackie, tell me you've got something.
00:21:22Well, it strikes me that it's a bit of a one-sided conversation.
00:21:25You know, Luke asks all the questions.
00:21:27What do you think about this?
00:21:28What are your plans?
00:21:30Could be he's building up information.
00:21:32I've seen stalkers do that before.
00:21:33Yeah.
00:21:34Well, Mia talks about having a specific routine,
00:21:36that she goes certain places,
00:21:38that she's a creature of habit.
00:21:40Now, it's fine if Luke's in Seattle, but...
00:21:43If he was here, he'd have known how you'd find her.
00:21:46All right, let's go.
00:21:49Where to?
00:21:50Well, we know Mia's routine too, don't we?
00:21:54All right, gentlemen, we're going to walk about.
00:21:57Stuart, take the same route into the university as Mia.
00:22:01See if you spot anybody suspicious.
00:22:04This Luke character might travel the same route.
00:22:07Robbie, you get set up outside the lab.
00:22:22See who heads into Mia's building.
00:22:25Maybe there's somebody who doesn't feel quite right.
00:22:2710.39am, subject kickstart.
00:22:38There's a great coffee place just around the corner from the uni.
00:22:40Go there every day.
00:22:41Got to have a caffeine fix to get my brain working
00:22:44first thing in the morning.
00:22:46They know...
00:22:47It's that place there.
00:22:49Oh, there's loads of coffee shops, sir.
00:22:50Yeah, but that one's got David Bailey working in it.
00:22:52Yeah, she came in here.
00:23:01Skinny latte, extra shot.
00:23:04Never anything to eat?
00:23:06Not that I can remember.
00:23:08Well, she had some food allergies, so she'd have to be careful.
00:23:11She ever mentioned anything about that?
00:23:12I took her order, I gave her change.
00:23:15It wasn't exactly a scintillating conversation.
00:23:19So, you weren't attracted to her then?
00:23:21Jessica is my girlfriend.
00:23:23I'm not interested in anyone else.
00:23:25Doesn't stop you looking, though, does it?
00:23:27I never looked at Mia.
00:23:29Not that way.
00:23:31How about through a lens?
00:23:34Have her take her picture?
00:23:35It's possible.
00:23:37I photograph people everywhere I go.
00:23:39I've taken shots in here, at the uni.
00:23:41Can we see them?
00:23:42Sorry.
00:23:44I delete pretty much everything.
00:23:45I'll show you.
00:23:49If I don't like it...
00:23:51It's gone.
00:23:55Give me some warning next time and I'll say cheese.
00:23:57Shit!
00:24:19Shit!
00:24:20You don't think you're the Spartan, these, do you?
00:24:22No.
00:24:23No.
00:24:30Offer's not that bad.
00:24:31No, but the service stinks.
00:24:33You go in there?
00:24:34All the time.
00:24:35You'll have seen Mia then?
00:24:36Yeah, most days, actually.
00:24:38Probably yesterday.
00:24:40I don't know.
00:24:4124 hours ago and you can't remember?
00:24:43Well, no, it's not that.
00:24:44I feel really bad for saying this, but...
00:24:46Most of the time you wouldn't notice Mia.
00:24:49She's an attractive girl.
00:24:51She's just really quiet.
00:24:53Sorry.
00:24:53Hi.
00:24:54Yeah, it's me.
00:24:56Listen, um...
00:24:56When you were leaving last night, did you notice anything peculiar about my car?
00:25:16Any joy?
00:25:17Nothing, sir.
00:25:18I hate to say this, boss, but...
00:25:19Needle in a haystack.
00:25:21Well, sorry to interrupt your coffee break, Robbie.
00:25:23You're with me.
00:25:24Somewhere warm, I hope.
00:25:25I'll need you to find out more about Mia.
00:25:29Get a key, sir.
00:25:41Your wife said it was, uh, okay to come up.
00:25:45We know how Mia was killed, Mr Hassan.
00:25:49But we're lost until we know why.
00:25:51Now, if there's anyone else you can think of that Mia knew or spoke of,
00:25:54or any interest that might have put her in contact with...
00:25:57I told you everything I could.
00:25:59Yesterday we asked you questions about Mia's personal life.
00:26:03Yes.
00:26:04But that was in front of Mrs Hassan.
00:26:06Now, I appreciate that as a father,
00:26:09there may be things you don't want your wife to know about.
00:26:11I understand.
00:26:12I understand.
00:26:13Mr. Berg, I'm going to say something now.
00:26:18You will find, I think, strange.
00:26:22I wish...
00:26:23I wish Mia had had more of a personal life.
00:26:29Boyfriends, whatever.
00:26:30I wish she had experienced more before...
00:26:36Before she...
00:26:38Excuse me.
00:26:40I must make the arrangements.
00:26:48Boss.
00:26:52What is it?
00:26:54Jessica Flowers card.
00:26:56Call me any time.
00:26:59Kiss, kiss, kiss.
00:26:59Jess.
00:27:01Maybe Mia did have a personal life after all.
00:27:05The kind she couldn't tell her family about.
00:27:11Jackie.
00:27:13This Luke and Mia meet online.
00:27:15They exchange emails daily.
00:27:17But when we contact him about Mia,
00:27:19he doesn't get back to us.
00:27:21Maybe he hasn't checked his emails yet.
00:27:23No way.
00:27:23This guy practically lives online.
00:27:26So why doesn't he want to know the urgent news about Mia?
00:27:30Because he knows already.
00:27:33D.S. Reid.
00:27:37Yes, sir.
00:27:38I'll get right on to it.
00:27:41Right.
00:27:42I'm going over to see Professor Murray.
00:27:44Business or pleasure.
00:27:46The boss wants to know his take on Jessica Flowers.
00:27:50Apparently our Jessica was closer to Mia
00:27:52than she was letting on.
00:27:53This is definitely the place.
00:28:01Bar 101.
00:28:01Aye.
00:28:02Jessica said I could bump into here any time.
00:28:04Not that I was going to.
00:28:05No, Harley.
00:28:06You're tight my toe, is she?
00:28:15There you go.
00:28:16You couldn't look more like Paula something blue flashing lights
00:28:29strapped to her head.
00:28:32There she is.
00:28:34Family goes, three goes, four goes.
00:28:36Okay.
00:28:37Yeah.
00:28:39Absolutely.
00:28:39Jessica.
00:28:39I couldn't keep away.
00:28:40I've got a couple of questions to ask you about your relationship with Mia Hassan.
00:28:49What relationship?
00:28:51We found your card in her bedroom.
00:28:54Quite an affectionate message written in the back.
00:28:56And you think that means that you guys have got filthy minds?
00:29:01This is serious, Jessica.
00:29:03Yeah, but I'm not.
00:29:04I give my card out to lots of people.
00:29:07Even gave it out to you.
00:29:08Doesn't mean I fancy you.
00:29:10No offence.
00:29:11None taken.
00:29:11Ah, well, jokey or not, you denied knowing Mia well.
00:29:15That's true.
00:29:17I gave her my card months ago when I was thinking of doing a story on uni brainiacs.
00:29:22Double first, prize winners.
00:29:24But she never called back and the piece got spiked anyway.
00:29:26No biggie.
00:29:28Do you, er, usually give up so easily?
00:29:31I was kind of relieved.
00:29:33I realised that a feature on High Flyers would have to include me.
00:29:37And that might look a teeny bit egotistical.
00:29:40Imagine.
00:29:41And what about research?
00:29:43Did you look into Mia's background?
00:29:45Any health problems you might have had?
00:29:47Never went that far.
00:29:51What's going on?
00:29:52None of your business.
00:29:54What if I make it my business?
00:29:55Then you'd be posing for mug shots down at the station.
00:29:58You fancy that?
00:30:02Sensible decision.
00:30:04Robin.
00:30:06We'll be in touch.
00:30:08Missing you already.
00:30:11Jessica.
00:30:17Jessica.
00:30:17Involved with Mia, as in?
00:30:21As in?
00:30:24No.
00:30:25No, no, no.
00:30:25I really can't see that.
00:30:27Well, we know that Mia was a very private person.
00:30:30That there's her religion to take into account.
00:30:32She might have had to keep it a secret.
00:30:33Yeah, but Jessica would have gone public by now.
00:30:36My love for murdered girl.
00:30:38Too good a story not to run with.
00:30:39Hmm.
00:30:41Unless she had good reason.
00:30:43Is Jessica a suspect?
00:30:45Well, we can't discount anything, you know that.
00:30:49God.
00:30:49I got the impression yesterday you weren't very keen on Jessica.
00:30:55Well, well, she's...
00:30:57She's a bit full of herself.
00:31:00Who isn't at that age?
00:31:02I can't imagine you were.
00:31:04You always struck me as being very...
00:31:08watchful.
00:31:09See, that helps with my job.
00:31:14I bet it doesn't do a lot for your personal life.
00:31:17Personal life?
00:31:17Now, what's that?
00:31:18I rest my case.
00:31:20Jackie.
00:31:22We owe it to ourselves to live a little.
00:31:28I'll make a mental note.
00:31:31Right.
00:31:33Make sure you call me if you think of anything about Jessica.
00:31:37Of course.
00:31:39Yeah.
00:31:40Jackie.
00:31:42Can I be a little bit cheeky?
00:31:46Stuart, anything new?
00:31:48The, er, print results from Mia's lab.
00:31:50How about time?
00:31:52It was complicated.
00:31:53It's a teaching lab, too.
00:31:54Lots of human traffic.
00:31:56I mean, it's a lot.
00:31:57We've got 17 clear sets of prints.
00:31:59But none that match anything on the database.
00:32:01I don't fancy bringing every student to the place in here one by one.
00:32:04Hang on a minute.
00:32:06Maybe we don't need to.
00:32:07Jessica Flowers card.
00:32:10Get a print lifted off that, Stuart.
00:32:12Yes, sir.
00:32:13I'm not so sure.
00:32:15About what?
00:32:16Well, Mia doesn't strike me as the crime of passion type.
00:32:19Maybe she's attracted by her intellect, Stuart.
00:32:22You know, in the academic world, it's sometimes what goes on up here that drives the libido.
00:32:26I mean, look at Jackie and Professor Watts' face.
00:32:29I don't think it's his intellect that Jackie's interested in.
00:32:31Well, you're quite finished, boys.
00:32:33Maybe Jessica pursued Mia and got nowhere.
00:32:36Some people just can't handle rejection.
00:32:38Thanks for this, Jackie.
00:32:49My car's in being MOT'd.
00:32:51Oh, it's no problem, really.
00:32:53So, you got the flat when Michelle...
00:32:57When Michelle ran away.
00:32:59I did.
00:33:01Do you want to come in for a coffee?
00:33:02Um...
00:33:04All above board.
00:33:05We can discuss the case.
00:33:08You're no fun.
00:33:08Yeah, it's still pretty much as I remembered it.
00:33:32You haven't erased all traces of Michelle, then.
00:33:36Yeah, I promised myself after the divorce that I wouldn't revert back to my students' slob days.
00:33:42Do you think university life is different now?
00:33:45You know, I get the impression that Mia was really driven, really dedicated.
00:33:48Yeah, and probably very lonely.
00:33:52People who concentrate entirely on their jobs are just waiting for the right distraction to come along.
00:33:58I should go.
00:33:59What about your coffee?
00:34:02I think I've been distracted long enough.
00:34:03OK.
00:34:07Well, now you know where I am, come around again sometime when you're off, Judy.
00:34:12Yeah.
00:34:13I'd like that.
00:34:21Bloody thing.
00:34:23Oh, Michelle.
00:34:26Michelle?
00:34:26Yeah, she only phones when she's had a bottle of wine or a fight with her boyfriend.
00:34:31Or both.
00:34:34Anyway, maybe it's just as well.
00:34:38Why is that?
00:34:39Not for a second there.
00:34:40I thought something was going to happen.
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:45So did I.
00:34:46Robbie?
00:35:12Yeah?
00:35:13I've got a positive match and Jessica Flowers.
00:35:15Right.
00:35:17Right.
00:35:17Oh, my God.
00:35:47Where are you off to?
00:36:01We're bringing Jessica in for questioning.
00:36:03Yeah, well, Professor Murray reckons the idea of a relationship
00:36:05between me and Jessica's a bit of a non-starter.
00:36:07Oh, does he?
00:36:08Could be right.
00:36:10But what I want to know is why a media student's leaving fingerprints
00:36:13in a medical lab.
00:36:14Wrong button, Jackie.
00:36:17There's something all right about this boss, the Prince.
00:36:30I know.
00:36:31My plan's such an elaborate mud and then make a mess of covering your tracks.
00:36:34Yeah, seems too basic a mistake.
00:36:37Well, that's all we've got right now.
00:36:38Let's just see what the girl's got to say for herself.
00:36:40And if she starts fluttering her eyelashes at you again, just ignore her.
00:36:48Don't worry.
00:36:49I won't rise to it.
00:36:51I'm being serious, Robbie.
00:36:52I don't want any complications if this ends up in core.
00:36:55Do you think it will?
00:36:56God almighty!
00:36:57Jessica.
00:37:09Next broken.
00:37:12Go.
00:37:16DCI, Bark.
00:37:18Back up.
00:37:18I'd see if climb offers us bent on the street.
00:37:20Now!
00:37:20Suicide note, maybe.
00:37:43If someone did push her, it seems strange that there's not more sign of a struggle.
00:37:55I know it looks like suicide, Jackie, but I spoke to that girl a couple of hours ago.
00:38:00There's no way that she was thinking of taking her own life.
00:38:02Nothing from the neighbours. Loud music as usual, apparently, but nothing suspicious.
00:38:06One of them has been public-spirited enough to phone the papers and the radio.
00:38:10Oh, terrific. Nothing in the backcourt.
00:38:12Well, it leads on to a lane, so easy escape route.
00:38:16DS Reid.
00:38:18Look, Sean, this is not a good time.
00:38:22Yep, I'll do that.
00:38:24Sir, that was Professor Murray.
00:38:27Seems the news is out about Jessica all over the university.
00:38:30Think the board are going frantic?
00:38:31I know how they feel. Get over there and calm them down.
00:38:34See if anybody can picture Jessica taking her own life.
00:38:37And get names and addresses for her pals as well.
00:38:39Well, she was a dope smoker.
00:38:42She was a student. What do you expect?
00:38:44You know what?
00:38:46This is all wee bit too neat and cut and dry for my taste.
00:38:49It's like somebody wants us to jump to conclusions.
00:38:51This phone was in her pocket.
00:38:53I'm not sure what we can salvage.
00:38:55All right, take it to the lab.
00:38:56Maybe they can get into the SIM card.
00:38:58What about her note?
00:39:00If that's what it is.
00:39:01Get the keyboard dusted for prints and DNA.
00:39:05Tell them to concentrate on the letters that spell.
00:39:07I'm sorry.
00:39:08We'll see if Jessica really did type those ones.
00:39:10You know, when you left, I thought, I can't wait to see her again.
00:39:25I just can't believe it's under these circumstances.
00:39:28No, it's not exactly what I had in mind either.
00:39:33Look, Sean, about earlier, I think...
00:39:36Don't.
00:39:37Don't say you think it was a mistake.
00:39:39No, I wasn't going to.
00:39:42I'm glad we...
00:39:45I'm glad.
00:39:48Good.
00:39:52Me too.
00:39:53But I have to concentrate on my job.
00:39:56Of course.
00:39:58Of course.
00:40:01Poor Jessica.
00:40:01I don't know how you guys cope.
00:40:08Well, being part of a team, that helps.
00:40:12I don't think any one of us believes that Jessica actually committed suicide.
00:40:16You think she was murdered, like Mia?
00:40:19By the same person?
00:40:21Well, it's a bit of a coincidence, if not.
00:40:24Should I be setting up increased security for the other students?
00:40:28Well, it might help to tell the students to be extra vigilant, you know, to go round in groups.
00:40:34Right.
00:40:36But, Sean, you don't want to panic them?
00:40:41Don't worry, Jackie.
00:40:42I can handle this.
00:40:43Ruth, you have a controversial allegation to make regarding the death.
00:40:53I don't like the look of this.
00:40:54Can you explain?
00:40:56A student at this university named Jessica Flowers sadly died this evening, and I believe that she was driven to suicide.
00:41:03I'm sorry, you can't see that.
00:41:04Well, I believe I can detect a sergeant.
00:41:06No, you're making sensational, ill-informed statements that could jeopardise our investigation.
00:41:10Can you deny that your investigation was at least partly responsible for one of the most popular and gifted students of this university taking her own life?
00:41:18Excuse me.
00:41:20Hi, I'm Professor Sean Murray. I can speak to you in an official capacity, if you like.
00:41:24Look, I don't have time to listen to your speeches.
00:41:26I've got work to do.
00:41:27...so soon after the death of Mia Hassan.
00:41:31Now, we don't know what the cause of this terrible tragedy is.
00:41:35I just can't get it out of my mind.
00:41:37Jessica's head hitting the windscreen.
00:41:39You were right about the keyboard, sir.
00:41:41Jessica's prints are all over it.
00:41:43But they're smudged in the letters used in the note.
00:41:45Any chance of seeing who by?
00:41:46They didn't actually touch the keyboard.
00:41:48The marks are perfectly rounded.
00:41:50Like they were made with a pen or a pencil.
00:41:53Well, she didn't type the note.
00:41:55It's not suicide.
00:41:56There's somebody covering their tracks.
00:41:58So are we looking for the same person that killed Mia?
00:42:01I mean, that was so well thought out.
00:42:03This is different.
00:42:04That's because something's not going according to plan.
00:42:06They've started taking risks.
00:42:08They'll make mistakes.
00:42:09You reckon?
00:42:10Do you think they wanted Jessica to land right on top of us?
00:42:13We were that close to finding the killer at her flat.
00:42:17Aye, but we didn't.
00:42:18We're no closer to our motive either.
00:42:20The only thing we've got is an excuse to get a new car.
00:42:22Don't think for a minute I'm going to let this lie.
00:42:28I don't have time to stay in chat, Ruth.
00:42:29I'm sorry.
00:42:30Don't treat me like an idiot.
00:42:31I'm the chair of the student council.
00:42:33It's my job to look after the best interests.
00:42:36I hear your colleagues were there when she jumped.
00:42:38Can you look me in the eye and deny that?
00:42:40Look, she didn't deserve to be driven to suicide.
00:42:43No, you're right.
00:42:44She didn't.
00:42:46But what makes you so sure it was suicide?
00:42:49I don't understand.
00:42:51You know what?
00:42:51We're trying to tidy up this mess.
00:42:53You're not helping us.
00:42:54There was questions we wanted to ask Jessica.
00:42:58We weren't going to beat a confession out of her.
00:43:01Now, if you want to hog the limelight, I can't stop you.
00:43:04But if you want to do your job,
00:43:06then you should ask your friends to cooperate with us
00:43:09and let us do ours.
00:43:10All right?
00:43:11OK.
00:43:14Blood tests indicate habitual drug use, mainly marijuana.
00:43:18Mainly?
00:43:19Almost exclusively, but I did find evidence of LSD
00:43:22taken shortly before death.
00:43:24I wonder if somebody spiked her.
00:43:26If she was disorientated with the combined effects of dope and acid,
00:43:29she'd be that much easier to overpower.
00:43:30Well, that would certainly fit in with my other findings.
00:43:34And are you going to keep me in suspense, sir?
00:43:36Paint shavings, Chief Inspector.
00:43:38From the window frame of her flat found in Jessica's hair.
00:43:42Now, a suicide climbing through a window
00:43:44wouldn't connect with a window frame
00:43:45with sufficient force to dislodge paint.
00:43:47So she was pushed?
00:43:49Almost certainly.
00:43:54Robbie, can I show you something
00:43:56that doesn't make sense?
00:44:01I've been thinking about you.
00:44:03Your hands, your mouth, your...
00:44:05What exactly is it you don't understand, Stuart?
00:44:08There's quite a few emails to different guys.
00:44:10It's all pretty graphic stuff.
00:44:12Well, we'll track them down.
00:44:14Yeah, I know.
00:44:15But what I'm saying is,
00:44:16there's all this explicit sexual material,
00:44:19but none of it's going to her boyfriend.
00:44:20Miles?
00:44:21Was she not in touch with him?
00:44:23Yeah, but it's all matter-of-fact,
00:44:25business-like,
00:44:27about the newspaper.
00:44:29Yeah, you're right.
00:44:30It's not exactly hardcore, is it?
00:44:32Jessica was pushed out the window
00:44:34while she was on an acid trip.
00:44:36She was killed by somebody she let in the flat,
00:44:38somebody who knew she used drugs,
00:44:40somebody who could have spiked her.
00:44:42I'm thinking Miles, the boyfriend.
00:44:44Yeah, we were thinking the same sort of thing,
00:44:45only looks like he wasn't the boyfriend.
00:44:48Oh, really?
00:44:49Unrequited love, eh?
00:44:51He suspects me of being involved with Jessica,
00:44:53so he gets rid of her.
00:44:55But even though she's out of the picture...
00:44:57Jessica still isn't interested.
00:44:59So even after he's killed for her,
00:45:00she still doesn't want him?
00:45:02That's why the second murder was so messy.
00:45:04He wasn't planning for it.
00:45:05Robbie, go back down that posy bar
00:45:07that we were in earlier.
00:45:08See if he's still there.
00:45:09OK.
00:45:10You could do the drink.
00:45:11If he's our man,
00:45:13this could be over by midnight.
00:45:20I don't want you to know what's going on, mate.
00:45:23Cheers.
00:45:25I'm really sorry to hear about that, mate.
00:45:31Cheers.
00:45:32Miles.
00:45:33Need to talk to you.
00:45:35You.
00:45:36Let's do this outside, eh?
00:45:38It's your fault.
00:45:39She did it because of you.
00:45:41Hassling her.
00:45:42That's not true.
00:45:43And you need to calm down, son.
00:45:44Don't tell me to calm down.
00:45:45My girlfriend is dead.
00:45:47Is that what she was?
00:45:48Your girlfriend?
00:45:50I mean, I know that's what you wanted,
00:45:51but she wasn't in here, was she?
00:45:53A few other guys, maybe.
00:45:54But no you.
00:45:55Shut your mouth.
00:45:57Listen, mate.
00:45:58Don't make me humiliate you
00:45:59in front of all these nice people.
00:46:02One will do this in private.
00:46:11OK, folks.
00:46:12Just cracking down and binge drinking.
00:46:14Robbie's brought Miles in.
00:46:15Anything I can use in the interview?
00:46:17Not really.
00:46:18Unless you want to find out
00:46:19if he's a computer expert.
00:46:21What do you mean?
00:46:21I found a spying virus
00:46:23on Jessica's laptop.
00:46:24Someone's got remote access
00:46:25to her emails.
00:46:27So he could have read
00:46:28all that spicy stuff
00:46:29she's been sending to other guys.
00:46:30Yes, sir.
00:46:31I double-checked
00:46:31and I found the same virus
00:46:33on Mia's laptop.
00:46:34One person spying on both girls?
00:46:36Well, we thought that Mia
00:46:38could have been involved with Jessica,
00:46:39so maybe Miles thought the same, too.
00:46:41It's a lot of mites and maybes.
00:46:43Boss.
00:46:43Let's see if the boy
00:46:46can make things any clearer.
00:46:49How long had Jessica
00:46:50been involved with Mia?
00:46:53What?
00:46:54Well, they were a...
00:46:56What's the one I'm looking for here, Robbie?
00:46:58An item.
00:47:00Aye.
00:47:00That's an item.
00:47:02What are you on about?
00:47:04Well, we found Jessica's card
00:47:06in Mia's bedroom
00:47:07and her prints
00:47:07in the medical lab.
00:47:09Jess went all over the campus
00:47:11putting up posters
00:47:11for the paper.
00:47:13Doesn't mean she was...
00:47:14you know...
00:47:16You're sure?
00:47:18Yes.
00:47:20Ah, well, I suppose you'd know.
00:47:21I mean, after all,
00:47:21she was your girlfriend,
00:47:22wasn't she?
00:47:23Yeah.
00:47:24I mean, that's how you
00:47:25described her to me,
00:47:26wasn't it?
00:47:26As your girlfriend?
00:47:27She is.
00:47:31Was.
00:47:33So,
00:47:34you were lovers?
00:47:35What?
00:47:37That's a straightforward question.
00:47:40And maybe we know that Jessica
00:47:41had an active sex life,
00:47:42so I can take it you two
00:47:43were sleeping together.
00:47:45Yes.
00:47:45She was, um,
00:47:47pretty adventurous, too.
00:47:49We found some stuff
00:47:50in her bedroom.
00:47:52Handcuffs,
00:47:53blindfolds,
00:47:54were they?
00:47:55Were you into that
00:47:56sort of thing?
00:47:58A bit.
00:48:00It's cool to experiment,
00:48:01you know.
00:48:02Is that right?
00:48:04Miles,
00:48:04there was nothing
00:48:05in her bedroom.
00:48:06No handcuffs,
00:48:06no blindfolds.
00:48:10No.
00:48:11Yeah.
00:48:12I know...
00:48:13No, you don't know, son,
00:48:14because you were never
00:48:14in her bedroom,
00:48:15were you?
00:48:16You couldn't have her,
00:48:16so you killed her.
00:48:17No.
00:48:18Why are you lying to me,
00:48:19Miles?
00:48:19I didn't kill her.
00:48:20I love her.
00:48:22All I wanted was for her
00:48:23to love me back.
00:48:31Excuse me, sir.
00:48:35Stuart's just got an email.
00:48:37I think you might want
00:48:37to see it.
00:48:38It's from Luke.
00:48:39I read about Mia online.
00:48:45Awful, awful, awful.
00:48:46She seemed like
00:48:47such a terrific person.
00:48:49Thank you for trying
00:48:49to contact me, Luke.
00:48:51Is that it?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53There's no surname,
00:48:53no contact number.
00:48:55And the email account's
00:48:56untraceable.
00:48:57Why bother getting
00:48:58in touch at all?
00:48:58Because he's scared.
00:49:00How?
00:49:00He thought it was all over.
00:49:02He thought we'd accept
00:49:03Jessica as Mia's killer,
00:49:04then accept her suicide.
00:49:05Now he's panicking.
00:49:06We're still no closer
00:49:07to find out who
00:49:08or where he is.
00:49:09Well, we know one thing.
00:49:10If this has just been sent,
00:49:12then it's not the guy
00:49:13sitting in our interview room.
00:49:14Sir,
00:49:16technical support
00:49:17have managed to salvage
00:49:18the SIM card
00:49:18from Jessica's phone.
00:49:20Good.
00:49:20Start chasing up her contacts.
00:49:22The only thing is,
00:49:24I recognise
00:49:25one of those numbers.
00:49:28The last person she called,
00:49:31it was Sean Murray.
00:49:38Murray.
00:49:42He's a bastard.
00:49:44So he and Jessica
00:49:46were at it, then?
00:49:48It's not right.
00:49:50A lecturer
00:49:50and a student.
00:49:52I'm not interested
00:49:53in your sense
00:49:54of moral outrage, son.
00:49:56How long
00:49:56had it been going on?
00:49:59Months,
00:50:00I think.
00:50:02Is this about me
00:50:04trashing his car?
00:50:04because I'm not sorry.
00:50:21Miles seems to think
00:50:22the relationship
00:50:23has been going on
00:50:24for a while.
00:50:26He, uh,
00:50:26he didn't like it.
00:50:28He even put a brick
00:50:29through Murray's car window
00:50:30last night.
00:50:31Did you know about that?
00:50:36No.
00:50:41I, um,
00:50:44Sean said that
00:50:45his car was going in
00:50:46for an MOT.
00:50:50I gave him a lift home.
00:50:55I was there
00:50:55when Jessica called.
00:50:59He told me
00:50:59it was his ex-wife.
00:51:01Did something happen
00:51:08between you two?
00:51:11Jackie.
00:51:15Jackie,
00:51:15did the two of you...
00:51:16Yes.
00:51:19Yes,
00:51:19something happened.
00:51:25I slept with him,
00:51:26okay?
00:51:29Interrogation over.
00:51:30Sir.
00:51:35Sir.
00:51:37I brought Professor Murray in.
00:51:39He's in interview room one.
00:51:48Am I suspended
00:51:49from this inquiry, sir?
00:51:54No.
00:51:54but I want you to stay well
00:51:57away from Sean Murray.
00:52:00Stick to the background stuff.
00:52:02Help Stuart out.
00:52:08You coming, Jackie?
00:52:14Just, uh,
00:52:15give me a minute, yeah?
00:52:16This is ridiculous,
00:52:24dragging me in here
00:52:25at three o'clock in the morning.
00:52:27You think that's the worse
00:52:27it can happen?
00:52:30You've got a good friend of mine
00:52:31in the shit,
00:52:32and that stops right now.
00:52:33Jackie,
00:52:34I care about her too, you know.
00:52:36That's the last time
00:52:36you mention her name
00:52:37in this room,
00:52:38or you'll find out
00:52:39just how dangerous
00:52:39a holding cell can be.
00:52:41I won't let you use Jackie
00:52:43to save yourself.
00:52:48Interview with Sean Murray,
00:52:500315,
00:52:51present DI Ross,
00:52:52DCI Buck.
00:52:54Look,
00:52:54I don't want to get
00:52:56anybody into trouble,
00:52:57but if we can get
00:52:58Detective Sergeant Reed
00:52:59in here now,
00:52:59we can clear up
00:53:00this whole misunderstanding.
00:53:11There you go.
00:53:12It's a waste of time.
00:53:13You know the boss.
00:53:15He likes to be thorough.
00:53:16No,
00:53:16the whole thing's
00:53:17a waste of time, Stuart.
00:53:19He's going to walk
00:53:20no matter what we find out.
00:53:23You don't know that.
00:53:24What,
00:53:25romantically linked
00:53:26to the investigating officer?
00:53:28That's what the defence
00:53:28will say,
00:53:29and he knows that.
00:53:32That's probably why
00:53:32he got involved with me
00:53:33in the first place.
00:53:34We don't even know
00:53:35if he is the killer.
00:53:40So,
00:53:40where are they
00:53:40emailing each other?
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:44There's a couple of things,
00:53:46but nothing
00:53:46intimate.
00:53:55Yeah,
00:53:55it's all pretty formal,
00:53:56isn't it?
00:53:58Thank you for making
00:53:58time to see me,
00:53:59Professor.
00:54:01Oh.
00:54:03I very much enjoyed
00:54:04our conversation,
00:54:06Professor.
00:54:09Why would you see him?
00:54:11She's not even
00:54:12in his course.
00:54:13You think this is code
00:54:14for an affair?
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:17And if we can work that out,
00:54:19so can anyone else
00:54:20reading these emails.
00:54:21What, you mean Luke?
00:54:22Yeah, well,
00:54:23we know he was hacking
00:54:23into Jessica's computer.
00:54:26I'm going to show
00:54:26these to the boss.
00:54:27I'm not sure
00:54:28that's a good idea.
00:54:29Look, Stuart,
00:54:30I won't be in the room
00:54:31or anything.
00:54:32Jackie,
00:54:32you're just clutching
00:54:33at straws.
00:54:34Yeah, well,
00:54:35maybe straws are all
00:54:35I've got, Stuart.
00:54:42Fraser.
00:54:43Thanks for getting
00:54:44back to me.
00:54:45I'm trying to track
00:54:46down an email address.
00:54:47Were you having an affair
00:54:48with Jessica Flowers?
00:54:52No.
00:54:55Not exactly.
00:54:56Not exactly.
00:54:58Either you were
00:54:59or you weren't.
00:55:02We slept together.
00:55:03A few times
00:55:04when I was going
00:55:04through my divorce.
00:55:07And again last night.
00:55:10Wouldn't look good
00:55:10if that came out,
00:55:11would it, Professor?
00:55:12You'd probably
00:55:12lose your job,
00:55:13wouldn't you?
00:55:14We tried to be discreet.
00:55:15What if somebody
00:55:17found out, though?
00:55:19Like Mia Hassan,
00:55:20for instance.
00:55:21Mia?
00:55:22What's Mia
00:55:23got to do with this?
00:55:24You tell us.
00:55:26Wait a minute.
00:55:28I've studied
00:55:28enough police frame-ups
00:55:29in my time
00:55:30to know what your game is.
00:55:31I don't play games,
00:55:32Professor.
00:55:36Yes?
00:55:40Is that Jackie?
00:55:45Jackie?
00:55:45Jackie,
00:55:47would you come in
00:55:47and have a word
00:55:48with these people, please?
00:55:49What did I tell you?
00:55:51You don't go anywhere
00:55:52near the suspect.
00:55:54I'm sorry.
00:55:55I wanted to give you
00:55:56these emails.
00:55:57I think they're quite...
00:55:58All right, you've done it.
00:55:59So go.
00:55:59Look, you have to stay away.
00:56:22He's already mentioned your name
00:56:23and tape every chance he gets.
00:56:24understood.
00:56:28You know the case
00:56:29will be thrown out.
00:56:31I said I understand.
00:56:33Don't give me attitude,
00:56:34Sergeant Reed.
00:56:35I didn't get you
00:56:35into this mess.
00:56:36No, I know that.
00:56:38I did that myself.
00:56:40I should never
00:56:41have let my guard down.
00:56:43No, you shouldn't.
00:56:45Do you know what?
00:56:45I am so tired
00:56:49of living like this.
00:56:52I just wanted to act
00:56:54like a flesh and blood
00:56:55human being for once.
00:56:57I don't expect you'd understand.
00:56:59I do understand, Jackie.
00:57:03But you know the thing
00:57:04about flesh and blood
00:57:05human beings?
00:57:06They make mistakes.
00:57:08I think you need to get away
00:57:09from the station for a while.
00:57:13So I'm suspended then?
00:57:14I didn't say that.
00:57:16First thing in the morning
00:57:17go down to that
00:57:18student newspaper office
00:57:19and see what you can
00:57:20dig up in Jessica.
00:57:24And take Stuart with you.
00:57:26Any evidence you find
00:57:27on your own
00:57:27could be compromised.
00:57:29I spoke to a special branch
00:57:43about email tracking.
00:57:46Hmm.
00:57:47Not which use, really.
00:57:48We can send out
00:57:49a virus ourselves.
00:57:50It'll infect Luke
00:57:51when we ever set up
00:57:52his address.
00:57:53But that's all.
00:57:54We won't know any more
00:57:55about the origin.
00:57:57No.
00:57:59No.
00:57:59I'll be happy to speak
00:58:05to you again
00:58:05once my legal
00:58:06representation arrives.
00:58:07You seem very relaxed,
00:58:08Professor.
00:58:09Yeah.
00:58:10I just keep remembering
00:58:10that I'm innocent.
00:58:15You think he is?
00:58:17I hope so.
00:58:18Because we can't build
00:58:19a case against him.
00:58:20Jackie's never
00:58:21going to forgive herself.
00:58:23I'll not be turning
00:58:23cartwheels myself
00:58:24if I have to watch
00:58:25a double murderer
00:58:25to walk out of here.
00:58:34Hi.
00:58:35Is this the newspaper office?
00:58:36Aye.
00:58:37That's that.
00:58:38I didn't know
00:58:39you worked here, Ruth.
00:58:41Well, that's my little
00:58:42kingdom over there,
00:58:43but they've asked me
00:58:44to chip in.
00:58:45The paper's a little
00:58:45short-staffed at the moment,
00:58:47isn't it?
00:58:48You even got miles
00:58:48banged up.
00:58:49I'm not commenting
00:58:50on the investigation
00:58:51at this stage.
00:58:52I hope you're not
00:58:53writing anything
00:58:54inflammatory.
00:58:55Editorial are handling that.
00:58:56I'm concentrating
00:58:57on Jessica's obituary.
00:58:59I didn't know
00:59:00you were friends.
00:59:01I think her friends
00:59:02might be a bit too upset
00:59:03to write something
00:59:03just now, don't you?
00:59:06Can I see a copy?
00:59:08Why?
00:59:10We're still trying
00:59:10to get to know Jessica.
00:59:12You're summing up
00:59:12her whole life.
00:59:14That might prove useful.
00:59:17It's not finished yet.
00:59:18So you're calling
00:59:22it suicide, then?
00:59:23That's what I believe
00:59:24to be the truth.
00:59:25What you believe?
00:59:26Do you not think
00:59:27you should wait
00:59:27for all the facts?
00:59:29Excuse me, folks,
00:59:29I don't know
00:59:30who's in charge here,
00:59:31but if you run
00:59:32with this story
00:59:33of suicide,
00:59:34you're doing
00:59:35a real disservice
00:59:36to Jessica.
00:59:37Like I said,
00:59:37it's not finished yet,
00:59:38OK?
00:59:43With the tragic
00:59:44death of Jessica Flowers,
00:59:46we haven't only lost
00:59:47a charming,
00:59:48and vivacious young
00:59:49women,
00:59:49we've also been denied
00:59:50one of the sharpest
00:59:51minds at the university.
00:59:53Do you think
00:59:53anyone will say
00:59:54that about me
00:59:54when I go?
00:59:55I think you're headed
00:59:56for an unmarked
00:59:57pauper's grave.
00:59:58It's a cheery thought.
00:59:59Jessica's academic
01:00:00achievements were remarkable
01:00:02and she was known
01:00:03to be behind
01:00:03the shortlist for...
01:00:05What is it?
01:00:07I need to speak
01:00:08to Sean.
01:00:09I don't think
01:00:09the boss is going
01:00:10to let that happen.
01:00:11No, I hadn't planned
01:00:11on asking permission.
01:00:12Jackie, I'm sorry.
01:00:23I want to ask you
01:00:24some questions.
01:00:25Have I completely
01:00:25ruined it?
01:00:27What?
01:00:29Well, you and I,
01:00:30I thought this was
01:00:32the start of something.
01:00:34This isn't about us,
01:00:35Sean, this is about
01:00:36two dead girls.
01:00:38Surely you don't think
01:00:38that I had anything
01:00:39to do with that.
01:00:40No, but Jessica was killed
01:00:42because of her
01:00:42relationship with you.
01:00:44I don't understand.
01:00:46Tell me about
01:00:46the Rayburn Prize.
01:00:47What?
01:00:48Look, just answer
01:00:49my questions.
01:00:52Well, it's a prize
01:00:53for Outstanding Student
01:00:54of the Year.
01:00:55I chair the panel
01:00:56and, and, and,
01:00:57yeah, it's a big deal.
01:00:58I mean, the winners
01:00:59go on to great things.
01:01:00And Mia was going
01:01:00to win this year?
01:01:01Well, she was certainly
01:01:02the forerunner, yeah.
01:01:03But you were voting
01:01:03for Jessica for,
01:01:04well, all these reasons.
01:01:07Well,
01:01:07maybe.
01:01:10Look, she was
01:01:11a bright girl, Jackie.
01:01:12Out, now.
01:01:13Look, sir.
01:01:14I said, out.
01:01:18Jackie.
01:01:22I'm sorry.
01:01:25What the hell
01:01:26do you think
01:01:26you were playing it?
01:01:27He didn't do it.
01:01:28Great.
01:01:29So you're going to
01:01:30jeopardise the prosecution
01:01:31against whoever did?
01:01:32What?
01:01:33It could be made
01:01:33to look like you were
01:01:34trying to get your
01:01:35boyfriend off the hook.
01:01:36He's not my boyfriend.
01:01:37And you think
01:01:37a defence lawyer's
01:01:38going to care about that?
01:01:39You have to leave
01:01:40this to us.
01:01:41Fine.
01:01:42But you need to check
01:01:43the candidates
01:01:43of the Rayburn Prize.
01:01:45Shouldn't of the year
01:01:46Mia Hassan
01:01:47was favourite.
01:01:48Prize?
01:01:50Surely that's not
01:01:50enough of a motive.
01:01:51Robbie, anything's a motive
01:01:53if you want it badly enough.
01:01:54I can see it
01:01:55for a reason
01:01:55for getting rid of Mia,
01:01:56but what about Jessica?
01:01:57Yeah, well,
01:01:57that's where the panic
01:01:58set in.
01:01:59Killing Mia
01:02:00made it a level
01:02:00playing field.
01:02:02Anyone of a dozen
01:02:02could win it.
01:02:03But Jessica,
01:02:04well,
01:02:06she had the advantage.
01:02:08Because she was
01:02:09sleeping with Murray
01:02:09and the killer
01:02:10found out.
01:02:12So what about the rest?
01:02:13Are we expecting
01:02:13more murders?
01:02:14No.
01:02:16No, killing Mia
01:02:16was only part of the plan.
01:02:18The murderer
01:02:19had to use her death
01:02:20to guarantee
01:02:20they won the prize.
01:02:21How would they do that?
01:02:26They'd be about
01:02:26raising their own profile.
01:02:27OK, let's bring her
01:02:31in for a chat.
01:02:33No.
01:02:35Why not?
01:02:36What harm would it do?
01:02:37Plenty.
01:02:39If it looks like
01:02:40we're persecuting her
01:02:40to put my boyfriend
01:02:41in the clear.
01:02:43I know you're right.
01:02:44We don't want to
01:02:44catch her red-handed,
01:02:45are we?
01:02:46Maybe there is a way.
01:02:53Is everything set up?
01:02:55Right, Stuart,
01:02:55are we ready?
01:02:56Say the word
01:02:57and I'll ruin
01:02:57Luke's day.
01:03:02Do it.
01:03:04OK, go.
01:03:08It's on its way.
01:03:27Terrible thing,
01:03:28computer virus, is it?
01:03:30Well, it happens
01:03:30all the time.
01:03:31No.
01:03:33Not like this.
01:03:34You see, this one's unique.
01:03:36It hasn't been sent
01:03:37to every computer
01:03:37in the world.
01:03:38In fact,
01:03:38we sent it to the one
01:03:39belonging to a guy
01:03:40called Luke.
01:03:41Meant to be in Seattle.
01:03:43Turns out,
01:03:43it's a lot closer to home
01:03:44than we thought.
01:03:45There's obviously
01:03:46some mistake.
01:03:47No.
01:03:48There's no mistake.
01:03:49Your laptop
01:03:50was used to spy
01:03:51on Mia Hassan
01:03:52and Jessica Flowers
01:03:53just before
01:03:53they were murdered.
01:03:54Are you accusing me?
01:03:55Actually,
01:03:56we're arresting you.
01:03:57A bit of hacking
01:03:58doesn't make me
01:03:58a murderer.
01:04:00No.
01:04:01But it gives us
01:04:02a chance
01:04:02to put you
01:04:02under the microscope.
01:04:04We'll find fibres
01:04:05from your clothing
01:04:06at Jessica's flat.
01:04:07We'll find a drug dealer
01:04:08who sold you the acid
01:04:08to spike her drink.
01:04:10It's over, Ruth.
01:04:11I think you've
01:04:12been spiked.
01:04:12Two girls
01:04:13your own age.
01:04:14They've done nothing
01:04:15except be a bit
01:04:16brighter than you.
01:04:17But killing them
01:04:17wasn't enough,
01:04:18was it?
01:04:18You had to use
01:04:19their death
01:04:19to make yourself
01:04:20look good
01:04:20all for the sake
01:04:21of a prize.
01:04:22It's not just a prize!
01:04:25It's the first rung
01:04:26on the ladder.
01:04:27The start of something.
01:04:28The life that I want
01:04:29and the life
01:04:30that I'm destined for.
01:04:31What you're destined
01:04:32for is a life sentence.
01:04:34Robbie.
01:04:36Ruth Haynes
01:04:37arresting you
01:04:37for the murder
01:04:38of Mia Hassan
01:04:39and Jessica Flowers.
01:04:40You're not obliged
01:04:41to say anything.
01:04:42Anything you do say
01:04:43will be noted
01:04:43and may be used
01:04:45as evidence.
01:04:46Do you understand
01:04:46the charge?
01:04:51Jackie.
01:04:52Number one.
01:04:55Yes, sir.
01:05:00We're going to put
01:05:00Ruth away.
01:05:02What happened
01:05:02when you and Sean Murray
01:05:03weren't very bearing
01:05:04in the trial?
01:05:06Good.
01:05:07I'm glad.
01:05:10Look, sir,
01:05:11I know I was
01:05:11unprofessional.
01:05:12Ah, well,
01:05:13like you said,
01:05:14you were just
01:05:14being human.
01:05:16Yeah, but it won't
01:05:16happen again.
01:05:18So, uh,
01:05:19vow of celibacy,
01:05:20is it?
01:05:22Oh.
01:05:24Maybe not quite that.
01:05:26But I'll try
01:05:26and stay clear
01:05:27of murder suspects,
01:05:28that's for sure.
01:05:28I think that's for the best,
01:05:30all things considered.
01:05:32All right.
01:05:33Get yourself on.
01:05:34Thank you, sir.
01:05:39Jackie.
01:05:41The guy is innocent.
01:05:54Pub?
01:05:56Can I just say thanks?
01:05:57What for?
01:05:58Well,
01:05:59I know that's Robbie speak
01:06:00for you having a crap time
01:06:01and I just wanted
01:06:01to cheer you up.
01:06:02Aye, well.
01:06:03No, and I know
01:06:03you covered my back
01:06:04in there.
01:06:06Would you do the same
01:06:06for me?
01:06:07Yeah.
01:06:08Yeah, I would.
01:06:10Okay, then.
01:06:12So, we got to the pub
01:06:13or what?
01:06:13Robbie,
01:06:14I haven't slept
01:06:15in about 30 hours.
01:06:16Was it that good?
01:06:18You'll need a drink.
01:06:19Come on.
01:06:19Jackie.
01:06:22Robbie.
01:06:22Robbie.
01:06:24I'll sort it.
01:06:25I thought you'd been
01:06:31released ages ago.
01:06:32I was.
01:06:33I was waiting for you.
01:06:35You'll catch your death.
01:06:37Listen, Jackie,
01:06:38I need to explain.
01:06:39I don't think
01:06:39there's anything to say.
01:06:41The thing with Jessica
01:06:41was just,
01:06:42it was a fling.
01:06:44I really thought
01:06:44that you and I
01:06:45had a future together.
01:06:47Yeah, Sean,
01:06:48maybe we did.
01:06:50Until you lied to me.
01:06:52Until you covered your back
01:06:54when two girls were dead.
01:06:56I'm sorry.
01:06:57Let me prove it to you.
01:07:00Nah.
01:07:01If I'm going to have
01:07:02a personal life,
01:07:04it needs to be about trust.
01:07:06Proof
01:07:07doesn't come into it.
01:07:09Jackie.
01:07:10Professor Murray.
01:07:12You're free to go.
01:07:18Up.
01:07:24Up.
01:07:25Up.
01:07:25Up.
