00:04To the Shaw Thing with me, Harry Shaw.
00:10Tonight, what's the deal of immigration?
00:12As ever I want your opinion, so pick up the phone and give me a call.
00:15Let me know what you think.
00:16Are you more or more against the government's current over-border policy?
00:21Does it enhance our nation, or has the influx of EU immigrants from the old Eastern Bloc
00:25had a negative effect on our culture, our way of life?
00:30Let's talk to Craig and he's got right.
00:32Craig, you're on the air, pal. Go for it.
00:43Two shots, close range.
00:46Mr Blazowski here never stood a chance.
00:49Anything missing?
00:51Well, it doesn't look like it, but I mean, who brings a gun to net copper pipe from a building
00:55site?
00:56To me, this feels planned. Deliberate.
00:59It's like an execution.
01:04Del!
01:06What's going on? What's going on here?
01:08You're about to walk all over a crime scene, Mr...
01:11Fisher, I run this site.
01:13What's happened?
01:14A man's been killed.
01:16What, you tell me my boys can't get to their work?
01:18Not at the moment, no.
01:20Right, right, no, no, no. Empty back in the bus, back in the bus. We've got to the Hamilton site.
01:25Nobody's going anywhere.
01:27Not until you've told us everything you know about Zbigniew Blazowski.
01:33Ziggy's dead.
01:34He is.
01:35That's why it's imperative you give us any information.
01:38Okay, I hope you're all able to understand me.
01:41I know this has come as a bit of a shock to you all.
01:42The guy came over from Poland five or six months ago, and he's been on my books ever since.
01:47What about next of kin?
01:49What about it?
01:50I'm assuming you run a legitimate operation here.
01:54You assume right.
01:55So you'll have records, insurance.
01:59These guys don't work for me, exactly.
02:01They're pretty much self-implied.
02:02That's handy for you, isn't it?
02:04Now, I'm guessing you keep a wee percentage for yourself, though.
02:08I supply Livingston Construction with a skilled labour force.
02:13They make a living, I make a living.
02:15Everybody's a winner.
02:16He isn't.
02:18Well, there's not much I can do about that, is there?
02:21Now, I've got an address for that boy, and that's about it.
02:24In fact, I'll go and find it for yous.
02:27Your co-worker, your friend, it really could help.
02:30And that guy doesn't like him, he doesn't live well, he doesn't live well, he doesn't live well, he doesn't
02:34live well.
02:34No, no, no, no, the boys, no, listen, they're only here for the work, they like to keep themselves to
02:38themselves.
02:39We need the contact details of everyone who's ever worked with a victim.
02:42That won't be a problem, will it?
02:44Of course not.
02:46Mr. Fisher's cooperating.
02:48Doesn't want us poking around his legitimate business too much.
02:51I've got nothing to hide.
02:53Good.
02:54You should get us what we ask for.
02:58You two, check the victim's place first of all.
03:01See if there's anything points to our motive.
03:12Well, he wasn't bumped off for his inheritance.
03:15Hmm.
03:16No photographs.
03:18No wife and the kids.
03:20Maybe there's no next of kin to contact.
03:26Kaczynski Club.
03:28Hmm.
03:30Worth a look.
03:33Plasterish tools.
03:35Guy at a trade.
03:37So what's he doing working as a security guard?
04:06How do we have a good one?
04:13Aye. Aye, he's been in. Not regular, but I've seen him.
04:17So when was the last time?
04:20The weekend, I think. I mean, he's quiet, you know. Didn't make an impression.
04:25Anyone he was friendly with? Anyone you saw him talking to?
04:28I don't know. You should ask Paula. She knows everyone.
04:33Can I help you?
04:36Four metres, give or take for the first shot. The second's much closer then.
04:41Point blank if you want to be old school about it.
04:44Time of death?
04:45Between one and three a.m.
04:47So he'd been dead for at least four hours before the body was found.
04:50Plenty of time for the killer to get away. There could be other country binner.
04:53He or she did leave a little something behind, though.
04:56Don't you just love it when she makes us wait for the important stuff?
04:59No.
05:00Exit wounds. Lack of. The bullets are still on the body.
05:05I was helping with his English.
05:08I run classes for new people.
05:10Legal advice if they need it.
05:12I'm a solicitor, so...
05:14And you speak Polish?
05:16My father was from Krakow.
05:19Are you sure Mr. Lozovsky had no family?
05:22Positive.
05:23His mother died last year.
05:24He was taking care of her, but when she went, he decided to...
05:31Decided to...
05:33Start a new life.
05:35Jesus.
05:37Were you close?
05:38I liked him well enough.
05:42Felt a bit sorry for him.
05:43What makes you say that?
05:45He missed Poland.
05:47And the guy he was working for here.
05:50Jesus.
05:51The charming Mr. Fisher?
05:53Not what I'd call him.
05:55What would you call him?
05:56Ripoff Merchant.
05:58I've put people like him out of business before.
06:00And I'm trying to build a case.
06:03On Mr. Lozovsky's behalf?
06:05His and several others.
06:06Fish is exploiting lots of people.
06:09Excuse me.
06:13Ross.
06:14Robbie.
06:15There's been another shooting.
06:17Where?
06:18Grand Plaza Hotel, Card Park.
06:20Same MO?
06:21Yeah.
06:23Two shots.
06:23Close range.
06:24Kate Booth.
06:25Receptionist here.
06:27We're on our way.
06:28No, no, no.
06:29I need you to go and tell the husband.
06:33Shot.
06:35I'm afraid so.
06:39It doesn't make any sense.
06:44Mr. Booth.
06:49Donald, we know this is terrible news for you, but if you do feel able to answer some questions...
07:03work here for three years, housekeeping supervisor, then moved to the reception desk.
07:09Sir, if this is the same guy...
07:10And it is.
07:11Then what?
07:12I know.
07:13What lines are to a security guard and a building site?
07:20It's our anniversary next month.
07:25Six years.
07:28We were going walking in the Highlands.
07:34Not everybody's idea of romantic, but...
07:39It's a beautiful part of the world.
07:42Yeah, yeah.
07:44Kate loved it up north.
07:45She loved it, yeah.
07:50Was she...
07:51anxious about anything?
07:54Have problems with anyone?
08:00No.
08:01No?
08:03Oh, she was very happy.
08:05She, uh...
08:07She worked hard.
08:10She...
08:15Who could have done this?
08:17Who would do this?
08:19Well, that's what we're trying to find out, Donald.
08:22If you can think.
08:27God.
08:28Mother.
08:30Yes?
08:30How am I going to tell her mother?
08:33How can I tell her mother?
08:35Well, we can arrange for a counselor to be present, if you want.
08:39I mean, literally.
08:41I don't know how to tell her mother.
08:43Her mother doesn't speak any English.
08:46Kate was Polish.
08:49Oh, my God.
09:00I mean, maybe a little earlier.
09:02That fits.
09:04Potel said she finished her night shift at 8.30.
09:06What else?
09:07Almost certainly the same gun.
09:09Virtually identical in terms of impact damage.
09:12No exit wounds.
09:13Did you retrieve the bullets from the first killing?
09:15Fragments.
09:16Looks like it broke up an impact.
09:18And these the same?
09:19Yeah, it looks that way.
09:20Dumb-dumbs?
09:21Possibly.
09:22Probably, in fact.
09:24Tampered with.
09:24To make them spread apart.
09:26And do as much damage as possible.
09:27I've seen it before in professional hits.
09:29Used to go on in Belfast, too.
09:32It's what you use when you want to make sure that nobody walks away.
09:36Two victims a few hours and a few miles apart.
09:39Both night shift workers, both Polish.
09:43Yeah, but Ziggy was a new arrival, whereas Kate has been here for years.
09:47And he was homesick.
09:48But according to Kate's husband, she'd completely settled.
09:52She even anglicised her name.
09:54She'd been born Kasia Sobieski.
09:57Barely an accent.
09:59Showed no interest in going home.
10:01Well, somebody's got to tie them together.
10:04Is being Polish enough?
10:06Oh, I don't want to think about that.
10:07People being gunned down just because they're immigrants.
10:10That's a definite possibility, boss.
10:12Aye, but I don't think having thousands of potential targets walking about the street
10:15is going to help focus our investigation.
10:18Did we get anywhere with the first victim?
10:20Eh, the word is that Ziggy didn't get on with Fisher.
10:23Press him on that.
10:24See if he knew Kate Booth.
10:26How'd you leave it with the husband?
10:28Well, he's at home.
10:29Shell-shocked, as you might imagine.
10:31If Kate and Ziggy knew each other,
10:33were involved, maybe.
10:34Makes the husband a serious suspect.
10:36Fine.
10:37Well, Jackie can go and get a confession out of him.
10:39Then we'll all be home in time for deal or no deal.
10:42Stuart, you get the easy bit.
10:44Find what gun we're looking for.
10:45Piece of cake.
10:47Did your wife never get homesick?
10:52This is her home, Sergeant Reed.
10:55We planned it together above the office so that we could see more of each other.
11:00Was there any reason in particular why she left Poland when she did?
11:02I like to think I'm the reason.
11:08We met while I was on holiday there.
11:12We became friends and exchanged letters, emails, phone calls.
11:19Then I plucked up the courage to ask her to be my wife.
11:26But she was happy here.
11:29I know it's a difficult question, but...
11:31Look, uh...
11:35We worked long hours, and...
11:42We spent every Sunday together.
11:45Kate would get up early and go for a run,
11:48and then she'd come back with her lunch and...
11:53lay around with the papers.
12:01Yes, yes.
12:02We were very happy, yes.
12:06Does she ever mention a man called...
12:09Zbigny Lidzofsky?
12:12Or Ziggy?
12:14No.
12:18Why is he a suspect, do you think?
12:21I am not able to see.
12:34Hello?
12:34Hello?
12:35Hello?
12:43I can't...
12:52More relatives, sir.
12:54I can't understand them.
12:55They can't understand me.
12:58The line's bad.
13:00There's a woman called Paula Sobacz.
13:03She's a lawyer.
13:04She does a lot of work with the Polish community.
13:06I'm sure she'd be able to help.
13:10Are you telling me a trained plasterer was happy working here nights freeze me as balls off as a security
13:15guard?
13:16Ah, well, you know, there's not always a work to go round.
13:18Ah, bullshit.
13:20He was standing up for his rights, so you taught him a lesson.
13:23He's a big mouth.
13:24Look, I get my commission, they get their work.
13:27How do you think they'd go on just walking up to sites on their own?
13:30You provide a service, everybody's happy.
13:33Exactly.
13:33Except Ziggy wasn't.
13:35Maybe he didn't want to be taught of this.
13:36What is it you're trying to say to me?
13:38Maybe you were afraid he was going to give you grief.
13:40Take you to court.
13:43Did that Paula bitch put yous up to this?
13:45What are you talking about?
13:47Aye.
13:48Aye.
13:50Paula Sobacz.
13:51She starts off teaching him English in the club, but really she's fishing for clients.
13:55More of a whore than a lawyer.
13:57You don't want to watch your mouth, pal.
13:58Look, it's none of her business how I do my job.
14:01Or yours, for that matter.
14:04I'm making it my business.
14:06Now, was quitting him a night enough, or did you have to get serious?
14:11Listen, this has been a wee slice of heaven.
14:15But I've got my job to do.
14:17Arrest me or get out my face.
14:21Aye.
14:25Oi!
14:25Oops.
14:26Ah!
14:27You cannae do that!
14:29You cannae...
14:30That caused the truth an assault!
14:32Come here, you clowns!
14:34Come here!
14:35Think I'm stupid!
14:36Come here and use!
14:42Oh.
14:43They don't look like everyday shooters.
14:45They're not.
14:46British Army issue between the wars.
14:48So our victims were killed with a 70-year-old gun?
14:50Looking that way.
14:51What, are we after a collector?
14:53It's a working firearm.
14:54It'd be registered and licensed.
14:56And it's not.
14:56Since when were we that lucky?
15:02Funeral expenses.
15:03Can't rely on Fisher to foot the bill.
15:06No, he's not exactly the compassionate type.
15:08If I get him in court, I'll make him cry like a girl.
15:13Good of you to organise everything.
15:15Yeah, well, I think he didn't have anybody, so...
15:17What a little girlfriend.
15:19You ever seen with this woman?
15:24Recognise her at all?
15:25Her name's Kate Booth.
15:27No, why?
15:28Is she a suspect?
15:29Eh, no.
15:30She was killed in similar circumstances.
15:33Inspector Ross.
15:35Mr Booth.
15:38I'm looking for her.
15:39I miss so much.
15:41Her office said I'd find her here.
15:43Yeah, yeah, you have.
15:44This is Paula.
15:45How can I help you?
15:48I need somebody to translate for me.
15:51My wife's relatives, they don't speak English.
15:54Oh, God, was she Polish too?
15:56Yes.
15:57That's not why she was killed, is it?
15:59Is that the link with Ziggy?
16:00You need to keep your voice, Dad.
16:01Why should I?
16:02Because we don't want to panic.
16:05We just want to catch whoever's responsible, okay?
16:09Okay.
16:10It's just a thought.
16:13Okay.
16:14The most useful thing you could do right now
16:16is help Mr Booth out.
16:19Yeah.
16:22Him?
16:23Yeah.
16:24All the time.
16:25And what about the female?
16:27Maybe.
16:29Yeah.
16:30Did you ever see them together?
16:32It's hard to say.
16:34She only ever comes in here after Mass.
16:36And it's always packed in.
16:38Okay.
16:39Thanks for your time.
16:41And the coffees.
16:46At least you made some kind of connection.
16:48No, let's not get carried away, Stuart.
16:50We turned up at the same shop.
16:51Not enough reason for a murder, eh?
16:54As if they took a little goodie bag back to his place.
16:58Well, I think his neighbours might be home by now.
17:00Let's see if they ever saw anything.
17:02Thank you for your help.
17:04At discretion.
17:05I don't know what it's like, Chief Inspector.
17:08These people come over here completely legally
17:10and they get treated like second-class citizens at best.
17:13That doesn't mean that somebody's decided to pick off
17:15Polish immigrants one by one.
17:17It's got to the point where it wouldn't surprise me.
17:19I'm going on to Harry Shaw's radio show tonight
17:21to take issue with the poison he spits out.
17:24Tonight?
17:25Yeah, she'll be on my way, actually.
17:27We'll give you a lift.
17:28There's no need.
17:29Sure there is.
17:30We'll use the time to persuade you
17:32not to jeopardise our investigation live on air.
17:37But if Siggy and Kate were having a thing,
17:40is that enough to get them killed?
17:42I know what you mean.
17:43Two bullets each, close range.
17:46Not the kind of M.O. you get with a crime of passion.
17:51You're with the neighbourhood watch, then.
17:54What?
17:55I don't know if you're wrong.
17:57Maybe we should have a wee chat about that.
17:58I say nothing.
17:59I know you from the building, Si.
18:02Christoph Pouliaski.
18:05Now, the influx of foreign labour
18:07has been so dramatic,
18:09so widespread,
18:10that you can barely walk down the street these days
18:12without hearing Polish voices.
18:14And every supermarket has shelves set aside
18:16for the things you're saying.
18:19Nah, I mean, she's passionate,
18:21she's feisty,
18:22but she's pretty smart, too.
18:24Yeah.
18:26You're always a good judge of character
18:27when it comes to attractive, isn't it?
18:30Dally boss.
18:31She'll not lose her cool.
18:32To our culture.
18:34To our way of life.
18:35I find you and a lot of the people
18:37who phone into this radio station abhorrent.
18:39You disgust me.
18:41Typical of you community activist types
18:43that come in here...
18:44I'm not an activist.
18:44I'm just someone who won't stand for your rubbish.
18:47Not much danger of this lassie losing it, is there?
18:49Okay, we're going to go to the lines
18:50and take our first call.
18:52Line one, are you there?
18:53I am calling with a message.
18:56A message for them immigrants coming over here.
19:00Your time is up.
19:02I have killed two.
19:05And I will kill again.
19:09Get the call on its own audio file.
19:11I want to be able to jump in and out.
19:13Mr. Show.
19:13Hang on.
19:13And I want music under it.
19:15Scary.
19:16Every time we come out a commercial.
19:18Bum, bum, bah.
19:19I will kill again.
19:20Boss.
19:21Call us, block the number.
19:22We'll need to go through the exchange.
19:23I've got to get back in the studio.
19:25The lines are going insane.
19:26Listen, I don't want you causing mayhem in there.
19:29Mayhem's what I do, Chief Inspector.
19:31Mayhem is what my loyal fan base expect.
19:33Bless their wee 50p of ticks.
19:35Plus normal charge.
19:36Harse.
19:37Oh, does he have to sound so thrilled about all this?
19:40It's Christmas morning for someone like Harry Shaw.
19:43Is this real?
19:44This guy is...
19:45We'll trace the call.
19:46Take him from there.
19:47Immigrants are obviously the targets here.
19:49Why are you so reluctant to accept that?
19:51Why are you so eager to believe it, Inspector?
19:53The Shaw thing.
19:54Welcome back, folks.
19:55This is Harry Shaw.
19:56You're tuned into the Shaw thing.
19:58Don't touch that dial.
20:00If you miss what happened before the last strike...
20:01Hang on.
20:02Boss, it's Stuart.
20:03They've picked up someone prowling around Ziggy's bedsit.
20:06Tell him to start the interview.
20:07Don't need to wait for us.
20:08That's the thing.
20:09His English isn't too hot.
20:11Polish?
20:13Doesn't quite fit your ethnic cleansing idea, does it?
20:17Live and exclusive on the Shaw thing with me, Harry Shaw.
20:21Hey, that's dead air.
20:23You keep hyping this up and there'll be a lot more where that came from.
20:26Believe me, Shaw, I'm not kidding.
20:28Tone it down.
20:33The Shaw thing.
20:37Christoph Puliasky, sir.
20:39Puliasky.
20:41Paula here's our Polish expert.
20:48So, do you know him?
20:50I've seen him at the club, the Polish church.
20:52With Ziggy?
20:53I think so.
20:54Maybe.
20:55He was one of Fisher's crew, so they'd have met.
20:58Mr Fisher's got quite an empire for himself, hasn't he?
21:02All right, you two take the interview.
21:03Paula, can you translate for us?
21:05Of course.
21:06But I am a lawyer, so I'll be looking out for his interests too.
21:09I'd expect nothing less.
21:10Boss, what about this call at the radio station?
21:13I mean, he was already in custody.
21:16Stuart, track down the phone.
21:18This is our bird in the hand.
21:21Right, ladies.
21:23Shall we?
21:26So, what were you doing in Shbignath's flat?
21:29Do you want to be?
21:30I understand the question.
21:32Then answer it.
21:34Money.
21:36You were stealing?
21:37Not steal.
21:39I, um, I, um, jak to powiedzieć, on mi był winien dwieście pięćdziesiąt funtów.
21:45Debt.
21:46Ziggy owed him two hundred quid.
21:48Yes.
21:49What for?
21:51I give him, um, he, um, only little money for his guard work.
21:57Um, he cannot pay landlord.
22:00Do you lend him two hundred quid to pay his rent?
22:04Yes.
22:06People can fall out over money.
22:09Um, mi elisio koutnu?
22:12No, no fall out, no.
22:14So you were friends then?
22:16You lent him money?
22:18No, no friends.
22:19Um, he said he will pay two hundred fifty back.
22:27Do you know this woman?
22:30Um, I see her at, uh, church.
22:34The Polish mass.
22:35Um, but she always wore a truck suit.
22:39You ever see her and Ziggy, they, you know, together?
22:47So Christoph reckons our dead security guard was gay.
22:51Didn't use quite such PC terms, but yeah.
22:54Wouldn't have anything to do with this murder, though.
22:56But it means we can rule out an affair with Kate as a possible motive.
22:59You know, Donald Booth painted this picture for me.
23:02Like a Moseley advert.
23:04I don't think he knew Kate's Sunday morning run included a detour to the Polish mass.
23:09So she was having an affair with God.
23:11I don't know why she was killed.
23:13The call was for real.
23:14Someone is targeting Polish immigrants.
23:17Well, I've managed to track the number down.
23:19To a city centre phone box.
23:21Check it out.
23:22You too, Jackie.
23:23Take a couple of socos with you.
23:24What about Christoph?
23:26Release him.
23:26Tell him not to leave the country.
23:28And, er, you should probably see my soul badge, Hope.
23:31She's had a long night.
23:33Get a taxi.
23:35Oh, no.
23:36You've been such a good help.
23:37I'm sure Inspector Ross feels there's the least he can do.
23:51It's you.
23:53That call on the radio.
23:55There'll be a lot of frightened people.
23:58But you're not one of them.
24:00Too angry to be scared.
24:02We'll find whoever's responsible.
24:05Will you?
24:05I mean, we're talking about Polish immigrants.
24:07No power base, no media presence.
24:09No, that matters to me, my boss, or any of this.
24:13So if you're going to get angry, don't waste it on the wrong people.
24:18I'm sorry.
24:20I know it's hard for you to understand.
24:23Actually, it's not.
24:27Listen, will you see me inside?
24:31Maybe I am a bit scared, after all.
24:40City centre phone box.
24:42Not much chance of a clean print or usable DNA.
24:45No CCTV either.
24:47So much for living in an Orwellian nightmare, eh?
24:50Well, maybe they were lucky, or...
24:52Or what?
24:54The killer went looking for a phone box, with no cameras nearby.
24:57No, that's possible.
24:58They're methodical.
24:59Maybe they planned it for a while.
25:01They drive around, find a blind spot.
25:03Unless the killer stumbled across it.
25:05Because they're already here.
25:16Try these.
25:19Handmade from a traditional Polish recipe.
25:22Hmm.
25:23I'm impressed.
25:24Don't be impressed.
25:25Not handmade by me.
25:26I get them from the deli.
25:31You okay?
25:33Yeah, yeah.
25:35Um, a bit on edge, I suppose.
25:38Hmm.
25:38Well, anyone would be after the day, in fact.
25:40You're not.
25:42No, I'm used to it.
25:44That thing you said before, about how you understood, what did you mean by that?
25:49Oh, nothing knows nothing.
25:51Then why say it?
25:55You don't let things lie, do you?
25:57No, if I can help it, no.
26:00It's just, I know more about the immigrant experience than you know.
26:05You might expect.
26:06Hmm.
26:07I wouldn't expect you to know anything, so.
26:11My mother's family are Italian, that's all.
26:15Ah.
26:17Well, see, if you're talking oppression and hostility, then I think I win.
26:25You see, your grandfather probably just opened up an ice cream parlour and watched the money roll in.
26:32Actually, my grandad was held as an illegal alien during the Second World War,
26:37and he died in an internment camp in Orkney in 1943.
26:42God, I'm sorry.
26:44It's okay, I'm not trying to score points, you just...
26:46Wanted me to know.
26:53Ah, let me guess.
26:56Prints, DNA, all tied up in a nice, neat little bundle.
27:00Scenes a mess.
27:01Lots of foot traffic.
27:02Bars, restaurant, flats nearby.
27:05Lots of building work, sir.
27:06Livingston Construction.
27:08And Ziggy works in one of their sites.
27:10Maybe the killer had been watching him for a while.
27:13Makes it less like a random murder.
27:14More like a hit.
27:22Right.
27:29Thank you for bringing me home.
27:33Any time.
27:34Wish I could stay.
27:36Longer.
27:37I mean, not.
27:38I know.
27:41It's work.
27:43Yeah.
27:49Wait till you've caught the guy.
27:52Then there'll be time.
27:55Absolutely.
27:57Plenty of time.
28:08You thought Molotov cocktails were Russian,
28:11not Polish.
28:13You really should be seeing a doctor, Robbie.
28:16I'm fine.
28:17At least I will be when we catch the bastard.
28:20Are we sure that the same person's responsible for all of this?
28:23Yes.
28:24The MO's so different.
28:26Handgun one minute, petrol bomb the next.
28:28But the targets are the same.
28:30Polish immigrants.
28:32Yeah, but Polish second generation, though.
28:35Two execution style murders, then he makes a complete bows up of this.
28:38If we're dealing with a serial killer, this wouldn't fit the psychopathology.
28:42He's killing people because of where they're from.
28:44Is that a psycho and a furry stuart?
28:46So is there anything else about our victims that could make them targets?
28:49See, that's what I hate about this job.
28:51I mean, we talk about motive, but really we're looking for blame.
28:55What did the victims do to get themselves killed?
28:57Robbie looked...
28:58It's not their fault.
28:59Nobody's saying it is.
29:01And you know something?
29:02I would take you a lot more seriously if you weren't being influenced by your personal feelings.
29:07What personal feelings?
29:08You took a hell of a long time seeing that lassie home.
29:10Maybe I should bring Robbie up to speed with the building site stuff, sir.
29:14Yeah.
29:15Why don't you do that?
29:18Livingston Construction.
29:19Just finished a building in the street where the call was made.
29:21Could Ziggy have worked there?
29:23Well, that's what we were looking into when you had your little adventure.
29:26Well, Fisher never has had a good word to say about Paula.
29:29Probably worth bringing him in for a wee chat.
29:32You and me can check in with the husband.
29:39Bye, Paula.
29:40You take care now.
29:47You know, you can't blame the boss for thinking you might be a bit distracted.
29:53Nothing's going to happen, Jackie.
29:55I'm a professional.
29:57Oh, yeah, I know that.
30:00Right, shall we go and professionally intimidate Mr Fisher?
30:04I'd love to.
30:12I was here, Chief Inspector.
30:15All day.
30:16Alone?
30:17My brother was here most of the morning.
30:21And people from the office have been up and down.
30:24They've been very supportive.
30:25How is my soul badge?
30:27Oh, she's doing very well.
30:30Well, please give her my best.
30:33These attacks and immigrants.
30:36People getting killed.
30:37We're not sure what the motive was for your wife's mother, Mr Booth.
30:40But to me, it's the only one which makes any sense.
30:44What else ties my wife to the other guy?
30:47Well, it is possible they knew each other.
30:49She did attend the Polish Mass.
30:51And she did go to the Polish Deli.
30:55Well, you're sure you're not mistaken?
30:58I don't think so.
31:00Well, she never mentioned any of that to me.
31:03And I don't believe we had any secrets.
31:09I'm sorry, I never offered you...
31:10No, no, no, that's fine.
31:12We'll leave it.
31:13Thank you for your time.
31:17More bullet fragments.
31:19Minuscule, really.
31:20Lodged in Cape Booth's sternum.
31:22Now, it might not mean anything.
31:23Dum-dum should spread an impact, not shatter.
31:26And these didn't.
31:27Yes, they could have been tampered with,
31:28but I think it's more likely they're just shoddy.
31:31Past their sell-by date, maybe.
31:33Could explain the change in M.O.
31:35Switching to petrol bombs when ammunition ran out
31:37takes us away from the idea of a seasoned assassin.
31:40More of a gifted amateur, really.
31:42Well, gifted or not, amateurs make mistakes.
31:44I want a combined report, both murders.
31:46Precise analysis of wounds, bullets.
31:48You've got all that information?
31:49Yeah, spread across the incident board.
31:51I want to condense my poor old man's brain.
31:54Always ready to help the aged, sir.
32:17Two counts of murder, one attempted murder.
32:21I never killed anyone.
32:23How did you get the burn?
32:27I work in the construction industry, dear.
32:30Accidents happen.
32:32Bollocks.
32:33You don't get your hands dirty.
32:35You exploit other people.
32:38Oh, is that right?
32:40And if they stand up to you like Ziggy or Paula,
32:43well, can't let anything interfere with business, can we?
32:47Right.
32:48Right.
32:49Aye.
32:50All good stuff.
32:52Aye.
32:53What about the dead lassie?
32:55Well, you tell us, Mr. Fisher.
32:57I never knew her.
32:59Never knew nothing about her.
33:00Now, I admit, Ziggy, proper pain in the arse.
33:04And Paula, now, is a nosy, irritating wee bitch.
33:08But why, oh, why would I kill the other lassie?
33:14Because she was Polish.
33:21Sir, possible lead in the murder weapon.
33:24Nothing like it was used once the Second World War had started.
33:27We had it down as 30s, mate.
33:29Yeah.
33:30Oh, but I did find something on the internet
33:31about a regiment landing in Arnhem in 1944
33:34with older equipment.
33:36Polish regiment?
33:37Yeah.
33:38The site wasn't Polish.
33:40I had to run it through a translation engine.
33:43General Sosabowski's paratroopers.
33:45That's right.
33:46How did you know?
33:47Gene Hackman played him in A Bridge Too Far.
33:49Crackin' film.
33:51I've not seen it.
33:52But it saved you a lot of time in your translation engine.
33:55It makes sense for the gun, though.
33:56I mean, that's the kind of thing that'd be kept as a souvenir,
33:59passed down through a family.
34:01Yeah, but how does that fit with the killer being anti-Polish?
34:18I have killed two, and I will kill again.
34:27I have killed two, and I will kill again.
34:33I have killed two, and I will kill again.
34:37No way Fisher made the call.
34:39You're sure?
34:40Positive.
34:41Because he's not our guy.
34:42Sorry.
34:43There is something, though.
34:44Look at the background noise.
34:46On the interview room tape, it's constant.
34:48And the call made from the phone box, it breaks up.
34:51And that's not just because he's out in the street?
34:53No.
34:54It's all different phrases.
34:56I think the killer made a recording of his threats,
34:59got someone else's voice from TV or film or something,
35:02and used that to make the call.
35:03So voice analysis gives us nothing, no matter what?
35:06No.
35:07His ID's completely safe.
35:08Could be a man or a woman.
35:10Could be Polish, even.
35:11Surely it could still be Fisher.
35:14Well, it didn't take much convincing to read the line, did it?
35:16A smug bastard knew the voices wouldn't match.
35:19Neither did the motives.
35:20Fisher's got no link to Kate, and she was a specific target.
35:24So was Ziggy, and so was Paula.
35:26Polish background.
35:27Is that not specific enough for you?
35:29In a word, no.
35:31So, where does that leave us?
35:32Looking for a murder weapon.
35:35You two get back to the Polish club.
35:37See if there's anybody there with a war hero in the family.
35:39Might have left a gun in the attic.
35:43Is there somewhere you can go?
35:45Get some rest?
35:47I don't think I could sleep.
35:50Anyway, I spoke to Kasia's mother.
35:52She's a lovely lady, Mrs. Sobieska.
35:55She wants me to do her a favour.
35:57And are you up for that?
35:58She needs someone to talk to Donald.
36:00There's no one else.
36:01Poor woman lost her husband six months ago.
36:04And now she's having to deal with a guy who stole her daughter away.
36:08Okay, but keep in touch, yeah?
36:10I will.
36:12Hey, maybe I'll pick up some of those homemade biscuits so we can have what we didn't have earlier.
36:17Sounds good.
36:21Go with her, Robbie.
36:23If you're worried.
36:24Sure I can handle things here?
36:26Dad, no, no, no, no.
36:27That's fine.
36:29Stuart, it's Jackie.
36:32Yeah, I need you to do me a favour.
36:34Could you check Kate Booth's credit card history?
36:39Yeah, see if she booked any flights.
36:41Maybe, what, six months ago?
36:43Well, if her father died, surely she went to the funeral.
36:49Hey, Jamie.
36:53We're looking for people whose relatives may have fought in the Second World War with General Sosabowski's regiment.
37:01Christ, they all reckon they're an uncle or a grandad with them.
37:04For the Poles, it's like asking if they served under Monty in the Eighth Army.
37:14Jackie.
37:16Tell Stuart we could be here for a while.
37:24Oh, well, on your own, big man.
37:27What happened to Cagney and Lacey?
37:30Oh, they're pursuing other lines of inquiry.
37:35When do I get a lawyer?
37:37You'll receive legal representation when you're charged.
37:41So, charge me?
37:43Oh, I will.
37:45And it'll be quite a little list, actually.
37:49You see, Mr Fisher,
37:51if you attack Paula Sobatch,
37:53and we both know that you did,
37:56then you're looking at attempted murder.
37:58Now, maybe I could cut that down to serious assault,
38:01but now you've started your little game.
38:05What game?
38:07The one where you used two murders as a convenient smokescreen.
38:11Now you're looking at perverting the course of justice,
38:13wasting police time.
38:15That fake phone call of you
38:16might even count as incitement to racial hatred.
38:22And I can't prove any of this, can I?
38:25There's a bit riskier taken.
38:28Cop for what you've done now.
38:31Because if you piss around with my murder investigation any longer,
38:34I will make sure that you do serious time.
38:53When you have...
38:56Sorry, sir.
38:57Can I just ask,
38:58when you were disbanded,
39:00what happened to your weapons?
39:16DNA lab tech, please.
39:19Yeah, well, you can tell him his break's over.
39:22Fisher's going to admit the attack on Paula.
39:24It ain't nothing to do with Kate and Ziggy.
39:26As in Kate and Ziggy
39:27that took the same flight out of Krakow.
39:31Say they meet.
39:32Say they become friends.
39:34What does that give us?
39:35Donald Booth might not like it.
39:37Maybe he didn't know that Ziggy was gay.
39:39These people were targeted, Stuart.
39:41Whoever did it followed them.
39:42Knew their lives, their habits.
39:43The killer would have known they weren't having an affair.
39:45Yeah, but why kill both of them?
39:47They were so different.
39:48He was homesick.
39:50She was happy here.
39:51He worked in building sites.
39:52She was...
39:52No, she wasn't happy here.
39:54I mean, why keep from her husband
39:55the fact that she went to the Polish church,
39:57that she went to a Polish deli,
39:59that she had a Polish friend?
40:00Cousin, actually.
40:01What are you talking about?
40:03I was going through the lab results
40:04and thought they'd been cross-contamination
40:05of the victim's DNA.
40:07So I'm halfway through bollocking the lab tech
40:09when he points out they weren't an exact match.
40:11Just close enough to be family.
40:13Kate and Ziggy were cousins.
40:29Is that Kate's meeting name?
40:33Gun.
40:34It was hers.
40:35Dear Shreech, thank you, gentlemen.
40:38Bobby!
41:17Thanks for meeting me.
41:18It was my pleasure, really.
41:20Thought you might like this.
41:21Polish coffee.
41:23Thanks.
41:24Did Kasia ever bring you here?
41:26No, no, she didn't.
41:28And her name was Kate.
41:30Oh, sorry.
41:31I keep forgetting.
41:32I've been speaking a lot to her mother
41:34and she uses the Polish version.
41:37Kate and Ziggy were cousins.
41:38They were on the same flight to Glasgow
41:40after her father's funeral.
41:41Did Donald know this?
41:43You can ask him yourself
41:43in five minutes.
41:44She could make it true
41:45the way that Robbie's driving.
41:47She put it,
41:49put the idea
41:50that maybe
41:52Kasia, Kate
41:54could be
41:55buried at home.
41:59This is her home.
42:03Uniform at the house already.
42:04Nobody's there.
42:05Paula's not at Booth's place.
42:07I know where they are.
42:08I know where they are.
42:08The Polish daily.
42:15Her family
42:17have a plot
42:18in the grounds
42:19of a church.
42:21With her father,
42:22I suppose.
42:23Well, yes.
42:25No, no.
42:27She was my wife.
42:29She stays with me.
42:40People made jokes.
42:41I was an internet bride, Donald.
42:43Couldn't you get one from Thailand?
42:45That's just ignorance.
42:46You don't need to.
42:47We worked so hard
42:48to eradicate
42:49every last trace.
42:51Every last trace.
42:56She lied to me.
42:58Wait from the start.
43:00Well, she just...
43:01She had history.
43:03Tradition.
43:03She was a stupid
43:05Polish bitch.
43:07That's what I was stuck with.
43:08You know,
43:09she treasured this
43:10more than her wedding ring.
43:12Yeah,
43:13kept it hidden from me.
43:14From her husband.
43:16She was a lying Polish bitch.
43:19Like you.
43:20Just like you.
43:22She lied to me.
43:25She went to Polish mass
43:27on Sunday mornings.
43:28How do you know?
43:28I saw her.
43:30I followed her.
43:32Put the gun down,
43:33Mr Booth.
43:34Voila.
43:35It's okay.
43:36It's gonna be okay.
43:36She talked to people.
43:38Her people.
43:39And that man.
43:42They filled her full of nonsense
43:44about the old country.
43:46Everything was fine
43:47until Ziggy showed up.
43:49Ziggy.
