[music playing]

[non-english speech]

[shouting]

Wait, wait, wait.

[non-english speech]

Oh, Connor, thank you so much.

I shall see you later on.

Goodbye, my angel.

I'll see you later.

Michael, get a move on.

You're going to be like.



Bye bye, Ellen, darling.

Be a good girl.

Tom?

In, please.

Seatbelts on.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

Richard?

Morning, Janine.

I've got a body for you.

In the air well.

Suspicious death.

I'm pulling her out now.

OK.



I'm on my way.

Tom?

Tom?

Anne Marie!

No!

Oh, god!

Anne Marie!

Oh my god!

Somebody help me!
- Yeah, ambulance?

A little girl's been knockeddown outside Oak Lane Primary.

It's--

Somebody call an ambulance!

Detective Chief InspectorJanine Lewis reporting

RTA outside Oak Lane Primary.

Vehicle failed to stop,
pedestrian injured.

Blue Mercedes.

Registration Victor 384
Zulu November Bravo.

Heading south on Wilbur Road.

Shit!

How is she?

They're taking
her to hospital.

Close to home.

Yeah.

Right.

What, down here somewhere?

Yeah, it's up there.

Pulled her out of here.

River authority guy
reckons the body

will have gone in upstream.

Plus these two west.

Right, OK.

And that way is Stockport?

That way is Stockport?

OK, have we got a time frame?- Not yet.

She's still reasonably
intact, though.

Only a day or two.

Here.

Looks like she was strangled.

Bruising to the neck.

The face is very badly damaged.

From the water?

- Don't think so.
- ID?

Nothing.

No clothing.

There's a wound to
the upper right thigh.

Surface skin removed.

A tattoo?

Or birthmark.

So Janine, you'll
check the rudder?

Sir, I thought I'd be--

Yeah, I'd really liketo pursue the hit and run.

No.

The troops like to know
who's in charge, Janine.

You should lead on both.

Now, obviously the
murder is the priority.

Oh, it was all right whileyou were on maternity leave.

While you were off--

Yeah, well it's not you.

I cleared three major cases--

It's him.Well, you will get there.

He can't put it off forever.

He was the same
with me, remember?

You will.

You gonna stay here in a patty,or you gonna get on with it?

Three--

Yes, all right!

I'm gonna go to the postmortem.

Get everyone in for two.

[applause]

Thanks very much.

Afternoon, everyone.

I'm DCI Janine Lewis.

Some of you have
worked with me before.

I thought you looked familiar.

Something's missing,
though, innit?

Still got yours.

DI Richard Mayne.

Sgts.

Shap and Butchers.

Any uncertainties
about procedures,

any questions, any
problems, these guys

are your first port of call.

This will be our
dedicated incident room.

Right, what have we got?

Unknown victim seen in
the river at Cambrooke,

just before 8:00 this morning.

Now, our first
priority is to find

out who she is, our second toestablish where she was killed.

It's likely the bodyentered the river to the west.

So that narrows it down.

We'll be searching
all known access

points of a 5 mile perimeter.

Right.

Post-mortem confirms she
was in her early 20s.

Malnourished as a
child, and since.

Pregnant.

About two months.

Signs of recent sexual activity.

Cause of death, strangulation.

Time of death, within 24
hours of her discovery.

The trauma to the face occurredpost-mortem, as did the removal

of the skin from the thigh.

And I don't think he was
collecting souvenirs.

So someone wanted
her incognito?

Heavy rectangular
object used on her face.

Possibly a brick.

The lab will do drug
and toxin screening.

We've also
recovered some tissue

from under her fingernails.

We're doing DNA
tests on that now.

Anything else?
- Yep.

We've sent a detail throughthe system, missing from home.

There's no matches yet.

What about post-mortem?

Anything that gives us a scene?

No.

A day in the river
hasn't helped.

Pathologists also noted
some blue staining

on the left ankle,
knee, and hip.

More tattoos?

No.

Here.

It's too faint.

There's no particular shape.

A young womanstrangled, then mutilated.

Who was she?

Who wanted her dead?

Now, I want a lot of helpfrom the public on this one.

It's gonna be all
over the papers,

but you lot, discretion, please.

I don't want you natteringabout this down the pub,

or at the gym.

And as usual, first 24 hours--

crucial.

Thanks.

RADIO: Stolen vehicle,
blue Mercedes.

Registration Victor
384 Zulu November Bravo

reported on waste
ground off Dunham Lane.

Unit to attend.

Uh, base?

We got this.

Oi.

Sling it.

Go on, get lost.

Flambe.

All this is going
to be made up, innit?

Better get forensics on it.

They'll be lucky.

They aren't getting
prints off a cinder.

Yeah, well, found
your car, but it's a--

a write off.

Aw, you're kidding?

I'm only had it three months.

I'm afraid your vehicle wasinvolved in a road traffic

accident earlier this morning.

Hit and run.

What happened?

A little girl
got knocked down.

She's in hospital.

That's terrible.

We're still trying
of find the driver.

Did you see anything at allwhen your vehicle was stolen?

Not a thing.

I was in the house when
it happened, as well.

The car was on the drive.

Immobilizer.

Crook Block.

Everything.

I couldn't believe it.
- Boss?

I think we got
something on the murder.

Several calls coming in
about a woman who works

works at the Top Cat club.

Never showed up last night.

I'll take a look.

Bye.

Place in town, owned
by a Mr. Sulikov.

Couple of callers wouldn'tleave their names,

but we have one from
another dancer there.

Dancer?

It's a lapdancing club.

Come on.

Somebody's got to do it.

So what do you reckon?

Boyfriend?

Client?

Someone who knew
her, definitely.

That's why he
smashed her face up.

You been here before?

No.

But they're all the same
after a few bevvies.

Yeah.

What can I get ya?

Mr. Sulikov here?

No.

This is his place?

Yeah, but he's not here.

The manager, then.

Oh, god, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

They said they did
everything they could.

But it wasn't enough.

It wasn't enough.

Oh, god.

Can I help you?

Hello, hello.

You two know each other?

Detective Inspector
Mayne, James Harper.

Owner of the stolen
vehicle involved

in this morning's accident.

Small world.

Interview concluded already?

Oh, just thought we'd
wait for you, boss.

Hiya, boss.

I've got a name already.

Rosa Milich.

Polish.

That's Mr. Harper.

This is DCI Lewis.

She's heading the investigation.

Yes.

Rosa.

Rosa, Rosa.

She didn't turn in
for work yesterday.

The description-- yeah.

Could be her.

I missed the news, butAndrea, one of our dancers,

she rang in.

Was Rosa married?

Not that I know of.

Can you put in a
request to Poland?

Dental records, ASAP.

Can I have a look at
her employment file?

Yeah.

The, um-- the girls
are freelancers.

They sort out their own tax,and that's the insurance.

We pay public liability forthe premises, of course.

Address?

Um-- no, it doesn't seem--

mm.
No.

Sorry.

Is that usual,
to employ someone

and not have their address?

You don't own the
business, do you?

No.

I'm just the manager.

The owner's abroad.

That's Mr. Sulikov.

What's his first name?

Conrad.

So what else can you
tell us about Rosa?

Nice girl.
Reliable.

Turned up for her
shifts on time.

Never any problem.

That's why it's so
hard to understand.

How'd you meet?

Well, some of them,
they get in a mess.

Drinking.

Drugs.

Boyfriends.

Or they're breaking the rules,putting themselves at risk.

Top Cat's for dancing.

Anything to make you thinkthere's a punter involved?

I don't know what to think.

All I'm saying is
Rosa did her job.

No fuss, no bother.

Mr. Harper, I'm going tohave a word with some people.

Have a look around.

Give DI Mayne any detailsyou've got about Rosa.

The last time you saw her,any regulars she danced

for, any friends she had.

See, death seems to be
following you around.

Did she have any
distinguishing features?

A tattoo on her leg.

A rose.

Her right leg.

That's why I rang.

Just-- well, it seemed to fit.

Is it her?

I think so.

What was she like?

Pretty quiet, really.

Not shy.

She didn't let people
push her around, or out.

Just never said
much about herself.

Did she have any problemswith clients, or anyone else?

You were both working on Sunday?

Yeah.

Did you finish at same time?

Who left first?

I did.

And you didn't see her again?

Did she have a boyfriend?

Do you know where she lived?

No.

Look-- we worked together.

That's all.

She were a nice kid,
but I don't socialize

with people from here.

None of us do.

It's just a job.

Sorry.
Sorry.

Sorry.

Always takes longer
than I think.

How are the kids?

Fine.

Oh, god.

What a day.

Well, it's hard to believe.Anne Marie.

Yeah.Has Thomas said anything?

You gonna tell him?

Yeah.

In the morning.

They'll probably send a letteraround from school, though.

How do you explain?

I don't think I remember her.

Yeah.

Skinny, curly black hair.

Her mother had a store
at the summer fair.

Oh, god, Pete.

Could have been us.

Tom.

Right.

Come on, you.

Listen, this week's
going to be all ours,

and Connie needs
her evenings off.

It's not fair to ask you tolook after the baby all day

long, and then be on tapfor babysitting at night.

Well, I'm on done.

What about Tina?

Tina has her school.

Harper's account checks out.

Reported the car
stolen at 10:00.

Got a cab from home tothe Casino Royale in town,

and had a meal in
a restaurant there.

I've been thinking--
Rosa, lack of records,

no known place of residence?

It's almost covering somethingup, like she's here illegally.

Well, it wouldn't
be the first time.

Yeah.

Waltz in off the
street, gets a job.

I'll get these.

Cash in hand.

Nod and wink.
You know?

Thank you.

Ta.

Yeah.

Harper's passing the
buck, blaming Sulikov.

Who's also Polish.

His only connection to Rosa.

Have you spoke to Sulikov yet?- No.

He lives over there.

He might get shipped
to us about this.

Why couldn't he
live in Turnery?

- Boss.
- Mm?

We've had a witness
on the hit and run.

She saw two men get
out and torch the car.

Good descriptions.

Age, height, and clothing.

And one of them had red hair.

Several possible matches, boss.

Uh, Sal Hetherington.

Clive Swann.

And Lee Stone.

Taken without owner's consent,carjacking, actual bodily harm,

and sexual assault. Served18 months in Strangeways,

and he got out last June.

Known associate--

Jeremy Gleason.

Monday, watched the
box and went to bed.

Tuesday?

I got up late.

After 10:00?

Yeah, more like 2:00.

And you, Mr. Gleason?

Yeah.

Yeah, what?

I was here.

We were both here.

The thing is someone saw you.

Both of you.

Tuesday morning,
not long after 9:00.

On the waste ground,
after the light.

Can't.

So you don't know anythingabout the theft of a Mercedes?

Or the accident that resultedin the death of a young girl

yesterday?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I saw it on the news.

It's tragic.

Yeah, can you put, um--

with sympathy?

And you'll send this afternoon?

Thanks.

Bye bye.

Yeah.

Lee Stone.

Guess what he works as?

A designer?

Hypnotherapist?

A bouncer.

That means he's
good on the door.

Oh.
Is he, now?

Butchers?

Why would he steal
your car, then?

Search me.

But if you do find
out, you let me know.

All right, love.

That was great.

I'll give you a bell.

I'd book her.

Rosa never turned
up for work on Monday.

What about Stone?

It's his day off.

But they both worked Sunday?

Anything going on
between him and Rosa?

No.

I'd have noticed.

I don't like him
around the girls.

Why's that, then?

He's a bit rough
around the edges.

Nasty mouth on him, too.

They shouldn't have
to put up with that.

Anything physical?

Once or twice, yeah.

Harassment.

Coping a feel.

I told him, anymore of
that, and he'd be out.

Mr. Harper doesn'ttrust you with the girls.

What?

A gentleman like me?

When did you last see Rosa?

Sunday.

At work.

Did you ever have a
relationship with her?

No.

She's not my type.

I prefer 'em with big tits.

Here are the records, boss.

Yep.

They're a match.

Definitely Rosa Milich.

At least we know we're talkingabout the right person.

Thanks.

Off pat, defintely shaking.

Yours?

Cocky.

May I?

Mr. Gleason, we've
been having a very

interesting talk to Lee Stone.

Most helpful.

Bit of a checkered
past, Mr. Stone.

You?

You've never been in prison.

Community service order,
suspended sentence.

We see a lot of that.

You know, associates
get dragged into things.

Get out of their depth.

What can you tell us
about yesterday morning?

Nothing.

The car.

The little girl.

I don't know what
you're on about.

That little girl
died last night.

We won't stop till
we've got a conviction.

Case like this,
feelings run high.

Half eight, 9:00 AM.

Where were you?

At home.

We've already got
one witness saw you

and Lee Stone running
away from the car.

There'll be others.

Evidence, too, on the car.

In the car.

People make that
mistake, don't they?

They think, fire.

All goes up in smoke.

But the technology we've gotthese days is frightening.

It's amazing.

Who was driving?

No comment.

All you've got to dois look through the glass

and see if the men
you saw were there.

You were happy to
help us yesterday.

That's all we're
getting out you?

No.

I just don't want
to get involved.

But it's a little girl.

Had to let him go.

But they were good for it.

They were seen leaving the car.

But the witness
won't stand up.

We'll have to keep tabs on them.

Put a couple of DCs outsidetheir place around the clock.

Keep digging.

Pull them in when I've
got something stronger.

We're getting plenty
of press coverage.

I'm sure someone will
come forward soon.

Meanwhile, I'm off
to the Chinleys'.

I'll come.

Harper's not too pleasedto find Stone's down

for nicking his car.

What, he didn't put
Rosa and Stone together?

Well--

It's like juggling soot.

Welcome back.

Done a full day's
work before I clock on.

I knew I'd be stretched,
but I didn't expect

to be this full on so soon.

How about dinner?

My treat.

First night we get free.

Aw, Richard.

Thanks.

You'd have to stab me with afork just to keep me awake.

My biggest ambition
at the moment

is eight hours unbroken sleep.

Six.

I'll let you know when shestarts sleeping through.

Took Tom three years.

[doorbell]

Sit down.

No, Chris.

I'm, um-- I'm so sorry.

Thanks for the flowers.

Everybody's been
brilliant, really.

School.

You got the car?

Yeah.
It's with forensics.

And we're talking to somepeople who saw the vehicle,

so we're making progress.

Meaning?

Chris.

Um-- we've got
some promising leads.

What, you know who it was?

It doesn't changeanything, anyway, does it?

Even if they convict
them, she still--

I want something good
to come from this.

Something good?

What possible good?

That bastard's still out
there, drawing breath.

You lot talk about promisingleads, and making progress,

and--
- It's not just talk.

Hey.

We're on to something.

Walkies.

RADIO: Two men answering
descriptions of suspects

seen on Bradbury Streetnear Holden Lane Junction,

heading west.

Unit responding.

Aye.

Right, just fan out.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

No.

If Stone did both
killings, they've

both very different MOs.

Here we've got a very
professional shooter,

with no attempt
to hide the body.

With Rosa we've got
a strangulation,

then efforts to disguise her.

Different motives.

Yeah.

Rosa-- maybe he lost
his cool, and killed

her over some sexual rejection.

Whatever.

Yeah, this is more
like an execution.

There is somebody else
with a cast iron motive.

Chris Chinley.

Couple of hours ago, he wasseen near Gleason's place.

Chinley?

How would he know where
our suspects were?

Unless--

I don't have anything to hide.

This isn't easy.

Earlier this evening, youwere seen in northern moore.

On Mullins Road.

Can you tell us exactlywhat you were doing there?

Just driving.

Why there?

What time did you get back?

What's going on?

During the course
of our inquiry,

we've been able to
identify two suspects.

They've both been kept
under observation.

They both live on Mullins Road.

Now one of them has been killed.

Well, it wasn't me.

I was there, yeah.

I went to the flat.

I never even got out of the car.

Who told you?

You just sat in the car?

Where the hell would I
get a gun from, anyway?

Who said it was a gun?

It's been on the radio.

A man with gunshot wounds.

One you said.

That's him, isn't it?

Will you be prepared totake a gunshot residue test

and provide your clothingfor forensic examination?

And if I don't?

Jeremy Gleason.

Someone in this room leakedcrucial identifying information

to a man half
deranged with grief.

We don't know yet who pulled thetrigger, but whether or not it

was Chris Chinley, I willnever accommodate such

a serious breach of discipline.

We are a team.

A stunt like this reflectson every other person

in this room.

I expect whoever jeopardizedthis investigation to have

the basic guts to own up.

You know where my office is.

OK.

We've got three cases.

We'll take new informationon them one by one.

Jeremy Gleason, murder.

First suspect, Chris Chinley.

He was in the area at
the time, intending

to go after Lee Stone.

Claims he bottled out.

He's agreed to a
gunshot residue test,

and his clothes
are with the lab.

Second suspect, Lee Stone.

All forces are on
lookout for him,

and we're contacting all knownassociates, and checking places

where he may have holed up.

Next case, Rosa Milich.

Murder.

The DNA profile from the
material under her nails

should be with us tomorrow.

Don't hold your breath.

Rosa was an illegal immigrant,but still, someone should

know where she was living.

We're doing a paper
search on Conrad

Sulikov, the owner of the club.

We also need to speak to LeeStone about this one, as well.

He works at a club, and hasa history of sexual violence.

Finally-- hit and run.

Here we have sightings
of the Mercedes,

and there's a patternemerging, with the odd rogue

report, which is out of sync.

Where's that, Butchers?

Um-- Burnage.

[inaudible]

Murkle would have
been spotted everywhere

from [inaudible] to Land'sEnd before we're done.

But the fire damage
to the car means

that we've got nothing concretefrom forensics to place

Stone or Gleason at the wheel.

But we've got morewitnesses coming forward,

and they're alldescribing those two men.

OK.

Stone's the key.

Those of you with
sources, find him.

[knocking]

Yeah?

Boss, have you got a minute?

It's about Ian.

He should be here, not you.

Tell him to see me himself.

Boss, he can be
a bit of a prat,

but we both know he's
straight as a dart.

Everyone--

Shut it.

I'm not interested in excuses.

I just think,
given the situation--

Yeah, the situation is
he's a police officer.

And his brother was
killed in a hit and run,

and they never
got anyone for it.

Discipline, Janine.

If you lose that--

My team know where they stand.

I'll be dealing with the
culprit this afternoon.

Who is it?

Well, I have a
pretty clear idea,

but until I've spoken to
the officer directly--

Not the most auspicious start.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I should have
let Mayne lead.

Give you a chance to readjust.

Have we finished here, sir?

Lots to do.

[knocking]

JANINE: Yep?

Boss?

Did you really
want to say Chriss

Chinley charged with murder?

Does it make anything
better for you?

For them?

You should have told me.

You should never have beenassigned to this case.

Why didn't you say anything?

If people can't trust us, thenwe might as well go home now.

You don't know
how lucky you are.

Chinley's clear on
gunshot residue tests.

His clothes are fine.

I left a note on error ofjudgment on your record,

but you'll keep your stripes.

Now, you pull a stunt
like this ever again,

and you're suspended.

Thank you.

I know it was wrong, whateverthe reasons, but I just--

thanks.

[knocking]

Yeah?

Forensics on Gleason.

Hang on.

Hang on, there's blue
marks on his knees.

Match the traces
found in Rosa's.

Chemical analysisindicates industrial dye.

The blue dye works
in Lower Broughton.

It's closed down now, butkids used to fall in the water

and come out blue.

Come out?

It's a river.

Kneeling here,
to shove her in.

Gets dye on his jeans.
- Yeah.

But on Rosa the stain is
all down her left side.

Ankle, knee, hip.

Abrasions.

Kind of like she'd been
wrapped in bin liners,

and they're torn here.

There's no sign of a struggle.

Nothing that fits with
the state of her face.

No-- she was brought
here, not killed here.

Let's have a look inside.

Cheers.

A tire print.

Once that's clearly recent--

[inaudible]

Maybe a match.

But I know what my
money will be on.

The merc.

Blood.

Right.

Now we need to find
out if it's hers.

Hey, Charlotte hasstarted doing bubble thing.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I'd forgotten that bit.

I think she's getting
more like Michael.

Moody and hormonal?

Well, he spoke today.

A whole sentence.

Could I have some money?

No, it was, um--

I need some trainers.

I'll sort him out.

I am ready for bed.

Janine-- I've been
thinking, and, um--

well, I seem to be spendingmost of the time here and, um--

well, things-- I know aftereverything that's happened,

you probably don't,
or you won't, but--

when all's said and
done, 18 years, and--

I still--

Don't you think
it's a bit late?

Since we had Charlotte.

I was there for the others.

Nights.

Everything.

And-- well, it's not
just missing them.

It's you.

And Tina.

Maybe-- I was wrong.

I'm sorry, Pete.

I can't cope with this now.

Tell 'em it's
Friday at the cookery.

- New technology.
- What do you need?

Connie's donut.

It's in the fridge.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Butchers, boss.

The blood from the car--

it's Rosa's.

Right.

What if a punter wantsthat little something extra?

Won't get it here.

Oh, come on, Andrea.

You got some fella hasslingyou, wants the full English.

French.

Polish.

Whatever.

I dance.

That's all.

What about the others?

Some of the girls must
want the extra cash.

What about Rosa?

She ever make any
special arrangements?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

And what if someone won'ttake no for an answer?

Like you?

Lee Stone on the
phone for you, boss.

Mr. Stone?

Gleason.

I didn't kill him.

I didn't kill anybody.

I need protection.

A new identity.

The lot.

Where are you?

Can you do it?

Can you get me a safe house?

Yeah, it's possible.

You'd need to come
in and talk to me.

Where are you, Lee?

You're tracing this
call, aren't you?

No, no, listen--
wait, please--

Shit.

Lost him.

He wants witness protection.

He'll ring back.

Andrea, we're not
interested in soliciting

or living on immoral earnings.

Your friend Rosa's murder--

that's what I'm asking about.

I never gave you it.

It's all very hush hush.

Now, your bog standard
massage parlor, there'd

be an ad in the paper,number in the phone book.

What, so these are illegals?

- Like Rosa?
- Yeah.

Stevie--
- Yeah?

Can you get in
touch with Poland?

Try and find out some
more on Conrad Sulikov.

Criminal record,
current activities?

That sort of thing?

Will do, boss.

OK, what are we waiting for?

The address.

Oh.

You can be our Trojan horse.

Donkey.

New client.

After the full monty, hm?

Well, give a lad
a little privacy.

Hello, I've got an appointment.

It's, uh-- Richard.

Has there been any trouble?

Any bother?

Anyone with a score to settle?

Do you know this man?

He brought us here.

He drives the van.

From Poland?

No, here in the UK?

Mr. Sulikov?

Transport's arranged.

I sent everyone
down to the station.

Soco's on the way.

We're still
trying to establish

where Rosa was killed.

She went out.

She never came back here.

Did she have a boyfriend?

Only Mr. Harper.

Harper?

Rosa and Harper?

Yes.

He takes care of this place.

Harper.

I knew it.

- Harper wants his solicitor.- Good.

He knows we've got something.

[inaudible] coming for Stone.

You know?

Yeah, someone must
know where he is.

- More on Sulikov.
- Yeah?

Polish authoritiescertainly know who he is.

He started off his illustriouscareer as a teenager, smuggling

cigarettes and alcohol.
- Yeah.

More money in human
cargo these days.

Yeah.

I'll get Poland to have
a look at his place.

See if he's still there.

Yeah.

Emphasize we don't
want him tipping off.

Ask 'em for a photo.

You've got rather a
lot of explaining to do.

Why don't you start
with Rosa Milich?

She danced at the club.

Yeah, all right.

You can cut the bullshit.

We know about your
relationship with her.

We know you were her pimp.

I liked her.

We hit it off.

She couldn't settle, though.

Now, some of the girls, they--

they get used to being ontheir game, but she hated it.

So I let her work
at the club instead.

But she still wasn't happy.

She began to talk
about going back.

She had nothing over their.

Family?

I said I'd try and find a way.

Smooth things over.

And then on-- on Sunday
night, she's on about it

again, getting in a state.

I told her-- maybe
I could persuade

Mr. Sulikov to let her go.

Tell him she was seriouslyill, or something.

But I needed some time.

I told her to wait.

I thought I'd got
through to her.

She was pregnant.

Was it yours?

She said it was.

You were close
to Rosa, but maybe

a baby wasn't part of the plan?

It's convenient for
you, her disappearance.

No, it wasn't like that.

You were having sex with her,were the father of her child,

yet when she's murdered,
you say nothing.

I was scared.

She was dead.

Why don't you tell us whatreally happened, Mr. Harper?

You killed her, didn't you?

No.

I didn't touch her.

I don't know what
you want me to say.

Well, the truth
would be a start.

What about something like this?

You did see her on Monday.

She came to you, you had sex.

She told you she wasthinking of running away.

You knew you had to stop her.

You argued.

You put your hands
around her throat.

How long did it take?

You wrapped her in a bin bag.

You broke her face.

Her face?

I didn't kill her.

I wouldn't have hurt her.It wasn't me.

Then who was it?

I can't.

It's not safe.
- Who?

My client has
answered your questions.

He's told me nothing yet!

Who was it?

I can't!

Fine.
OK.

That's the way you
want to play it.

Interview terminated.

All right.

All right.

It-- it was Sulikov.

Sulikov.

But I-- I can't--

it was a warning.

Look, I'm sorry.

I can't-- he'll kill me.

What do you mean, a warning?

It was a warning to the girls.

To me.

I don't know if he killed her,or if he paid someone else.

He rang me up on
Tuesday morning.

Sulikov?

He said I should have
known better, helping

myself to the merchandise.

He said he'd taken care of Rosa.

I didn't know what
he meant at first.

She hadn't been found then.

She never deserved it.

He said my-- my car had
made a lovely blaze.

Anymore problems, he said,and it would be my house next,

with me in it.

Your car was used
to carry the body?

To teach me a lesson.

I didn't know any of
this would happen.

Honestly.

For the tape, DCI Lewis
is now leaving the room.

Who killed her?

Sulikov.

And his bully boys.

Now no one else will
try to get away.

What about Harper?

He let her dance
in the club, and she

thought he was a prince.

But he will never
go against his boss.

He's not a brave man.

She loved him.

And he just screwed her.

Just like they all do.

She was thinking of names.

Little clothes.

Could he have killed her?

Harper?

When you said bully boys?

Lee Stone.

Sulikov started out with a twoup, two down brothel in Leeds.

He's got a bloody empire now.

He's got places in Leeds,Liverpool, Birmingham, London.

Clubs, escort agencies.

He's bringing in
girls every month.

Some of them working, someof them paying more so they

can disappear.

He needs people like Stone.

For muscle?

No limits.

This phone call after
your car was stolen--

where was Sulikov calling from?

His mobile.

I don't know exactly where.

Poland?

No.

No, he's-- he's been
over in the UK this--

Where's he staying?

Please.

I can't.

Now, your silence
has done enough damage.

Answer the question.

He'll know I've told you.

You've no idea what he's like.

We'll be discreet.

Discreet?

He's a maniac.

He'll kill me.

We've got enough
to arrest him.

We'll put him behind bars.

Now answer the question,or I'll put you there, too.

Your choice.

The Midland Hotel.

He's probably left by now.

Yeah, Mr. Sulikov.

He checked in Wednesday evening.- Wednesday?

Not earlier?

Is he still here?
- That's right.

Polish gentleman.

Is he in his room now?

No.

He must be out.

We, um-- we need
to see his room.

Travels light.

There's no point
mulling about here.

I'll wait downstairs, boss.

He didn't check
in until Wednesday.

Where was he Monday night?

The night Rosa was killed.

Yeah.

Nothing from the airport.

Maybe he drove?

We'll check the ports.

Yeah.

Get Harper's statement.

DNA swab of [inaudible].

Return here tomorrow.

The minute Sulikov gets in thatlift, I want to know about it.

Yeah.

She was due in for her
developmental review

today at 2:30, and
I'm terribly sorry.

I meant to cancel the
appointment, but--

yeah.

Would you press on my apologiesto Dr. Edwards, please?

Yeah, if you could
tell Dr. Edwards

I'll make another appointmenttomorrow-- thanks very much.

Start the car.

And do exactly as I say.

Hello.

DI Mayne.

Richard.

It's Pete.

Oh.

Is Janine there?

No.

She's gone.

She's not
answering her mobile.

Well, she left--

she left about an hour ago.

An hour ago?

She should be back by now.

I'll put a call out.

We'll find her.

See ya.

STONE: I'm not going
down for murder.

You'll have to have
a word with them,

and you'll have to get
me some protection.

It doesn't work like that.

Now, I don't think you'vegot much choice, do you, lady?

Please just put the gun down.

I can't do anything untilyou put the down gun.

Please.
- Shut up.

Put the gun down!

[gunshot]

Are you going to listen to me?

Yeah.

Sulikov said the girl
had died of an overdose.

We had to take the
car and get rid.

We didn't know he'd killed her.

Damn.

Well, a job like that--

putting her in the water--

got all wired up.

Needed to burn some
of the adrenaline off.

We didn't kill her.

You drove over Anne Marie.

Just shut up and listen!

When you let us out--

I rang Sulikov.

We had to get right away.

He just goes ballistic.

He starts yabbering
on in Polack.

But he knew we'd beenogled hanging around here.

He says he's going
back to Poland.

He said he'll-- he'll
get us over the Channel.

Now, there's some warehousesnear us, and this old tunnel.

He said he'll meet
us at the other end.

We go all the way in.

He's down the stairs
at the other end,

shouting for us to hurry up.

Then he opens up,
Terminator style.

Jez goes down.

I just legged it.

Soon as he knows where Iam, he'll be after me next.

You've got to get me protection.

You'll turn queen's evidence?

I don't know.

It's a two way street.

Yeah, but he'll get around it.

You'll never get him into court.

He'll drop out of sight
somewhere in Europe.

Then-- then where will I
be, if there's no trial?

No, no, no.

No, we have testimony, thestuff we've got off Harper.

We have a strong case.

We know where he is.

We've got to act quickly,but absolutely nothing

happens till you move that gun!

Do you know how hard itis to even think straight

with you pointing that at me?

Well, I don't know you'regoing to do what you say--

You don't!

You don't!

But I'm being straight with you.

Now, if you give
us the information

you've got on Sulikov,
then I will get

you into witness protection.

As long as it all adds up.

So-- so what happens now?

Now I'll take you in.

Oh-- oh--

it's a set up!
- No!

No, no, no!

Listen-- listen,
let me talk to them.

MAYNE: Janine--
- You set met up!

No, I didn't!
Richard!

Richard!
Back off!

Back off!

Tell them all to
get out of here!

Janine, are you
sure you're not hurt?

We've had reports of gunfire.

Fine.

Never better.

Mr. Stone is coming
in, but only as long

as you call off the cavalry.

MAYNE: But Janine--

We do not need an escort.

Mr. Stone will
require legal services

and complete protection.

We will be treating him
was a valuable witness.

Now clear the area!

We'll have to cuff you.

They won't let us in unlessyou're in restraints.

Where's the gun?

It's in the glovecompartment, in a nappy sack.

Don't.

Barry, glovebox.

Right.

How'd he get into the car?

He's a professional carthief, among other things.

He could get into anything.

I'm all right, Pete.

You'd better go.

We can't.

After everything--
It's too late.

Kids.

We've still got
the kids, Pete.

We're lucky.

Janine, I'm so sorry.

Bye, Ellie.

Bye, Tom.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Home.

See you Sunday.

Fly me, Dad.

Come on, then.

Hey.

Sulikov rang here
at 7:15 on Monday.

What did he say?

He said-- he said
there was a problem.

He said, um-- he
said one of the girls

had OD'd, and we had
to get rid of the body.

He said I could
get the car, 8:00,

near these units in Burnage.

You got a car from
Harper's, didn't you?

No.

No, it was Harper's car,but he weren't too pleased.

You didn't get
it from his please?

I just told you, theindustrial units near Burnage.

The keys were in the ignition,the docs was in the glove box,

and the body was in the boot.

Then what?

Then we drove it
to the old dye works,

and got rid of the body.

And there's a purple.

And a yellow one for me.

And a purple.

JANINE: Oh, Tom.
- Wasn't me.

It was Frank.

[phone ringing]

Frank.

Frank, you'll be
in big trouble now.

Yeah?

Yeah, Richard?

Have you got Sulikov?

No, he hasn't been
back to the hotel yet.

But Stone's version stands up.

Negative on the DNA.

The skin sample from underneaththe nails doesn't match.

Wasn't his.

It must be Sulikov's.

Something's a bit off.

Stone says they didn't
steal the Mercedes

outside Harper's house.

He claims they picked it upnear some industrial units

in Burnage about 8:00.

Sulikov told them where it was.

Burnage?

Wasn't there a sighting
there that didn't fit?

Yeah.

That was Butcher's rogue report.

JANINE: None of this
makes any sense.

Sulikov kills her, there's that[inaudible] with the bin bags,

then what?

He steals Harper's car,puts the body in the boot,

and then leaves it
for Stone to pick up?

I mean, why on earth
would he do that?

Teaching Harper a
lesson, like he said.

Yeah, but why do it himself?

He'd have to leave
the body to go

to Harper's to steal the car.

Unless-- unless she waskilled at Harper's house.

MAYNE: Maybe they're
in it together?

Frank, now, he's coming up.He's coming up.

Frank, I'm watching you.

Oh, god, Richard.

The photo of Sulikov.

Has it arrived?

Right.

Yeah.

Conrad Sulikov.

Born in-- yeah.

Here.

English mother.
Polish father.

Moved there when he was seven.

Shit.

Cheeky bugger.

Harper's cleared out.

Yeah.

James Harper or Conrad Sulikov?

Which one?

2110.

Aw, shit.

Delayed?

How long?

Everyone always dealt
with him as Harper.

Sulikov was just like,
there in the background.

But no one never met him.

Might have all been hunkydory if the boys had got

rid of the car straight away.

But the hit and run
put pay to that.

Yeah, he wants sure
Stone and Gleason--

well, Stone gets away.
- Yeah.

So that's when he triedto throw us off the scent,

by booking the hotel room.

We might have been sitting
there still, like a load

of wallies, waiting for him.

The way he made us drag it outof him-- which he credited.

Shap, Butchers, you stay here.

You other guys cover
that other exit,

in case he comes out of there.

Mr. Sulikov?

Conrad Sulikov, I
am arresting you

on suspicion in the murder ofRosa Milich and Jeremy Gleason.

You are such a show off.

Well, if you got it--

didn't do so bad yourself.

We need to seal his place off.

See what we can find.

A murder scene would be nice.

DNA will clinch it.

Oh, that can wait
till the morning.

He's gotta have his
[inaudible] rights.

It's more than I'll get.

Why didn't he just let her go?

Marta was right.

He killed her to protecthimself, as a warning to her

more.

I mean, back home, with a baby?

His baby?

It'd be beyond his control.

Do you think she ever knew?

About Sulikov?

No.

How could she?

He'd never have told her.

No, she was just another girlwith a way of making money.
