London Kills (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Family Affairs - full transcript

She's been suffocated.

That's what it looks like.

Horrible way to die,
fighting for breath.

At least we know who she was.

Ana Bestos.
19 years old.

Portuguese.

How'd she end up here, then?

I can call 'round later.

Sometime this afternoon.

Gotta go.

-Morning.
-Morning.



Body of a 19-year-old girl

found in a loading bay
in Kings Cross.

Vivienne and Billie
are with the next of kin.

Okay.

Give me a shout
when they get back.

Will do.

-Gabrielo Bestos.
-Yes.

I'm Trainee Detective Constable
Billie Fitzgerald.

This is Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.

Can we have a word?

What's happened?

I think it's best
we take this inside.

Okay. Come on.

Come on.



Noah, I'm just talking
to the officers, okay?

I'm so sorry to tell you
that your cousin Ana Bestos

was found dead earlier today.

It must be some mistake.

We found Ana's passport
by her body.

You were listed as next of kin.

Where was she?

How was she, um...

Ana was murdered.

Mr. Bestos, when was
the last time you saw Ana?

A couple of nights ago.

She came to use the shower
in my room.

Um, the friend she was staying
with -- Her shower was broken.

Can you give us
the name of Ana's friend?

No.

I don't think she mentioned it.

-Or an address?
-No.

Ana was only sleeping there
for a couple of nights, um,

till she found somewhere new.

Ana was an au pair, like me.

She was sacked.

Thrown out on the street.

Who by?

Mr. and Mrs. Charr.

Why did they throw her out?

The wife, Michelle...

...she hated Ana from the start.

She couldn't wait
to get rid of her.

Do you have
the Charrs' contact details?

Upstairs.

Oh, uh, Mr. Bestos, one thing.

Was Ana in a relationship?

Seeing anyone?

No way.

Ana's a good Catholic girl.

No boyfriends before marriage.

I kept thinking how he'd feel
if he knew how we'd found her.

Yeah.

It's not our place to tell him.

Not yet.

Thought you might want these.

Crime-scene photos
from the young girl

we found in Kings Cross.

-Thanks, Rob.
-No problem.

Andrew's at work.

He's -- He's gonna be upset.

He was really fond of Ana.

Where does your husband work?

Uh, in his offices
in Kings Cross.

-What does he do?
-A partner.

In a broking firm.

Mrs. Charr...

Can you -- I'm sorry.

Can you call me Michelle?

Michelle.

According
to Ana's cousin Gabrielo,

you terminated her employment
about a week ago?

Yes, that's --
Yeah, that's right.

Would you mind telling us why?

Huh.

Um...

well, we hired this very sweet,
diligent Catholic girl

about six months ago,
but then, um...

well, no, we had to let her go,
because we couldn't --

We couldn't trust her anymore.

In what way?

Well, she'd come home
at all hours.

Um, and then she'd fail
to get up in the morning.

And then to top it all,
she left Jago at school,

waiting, for nearly an hour
the other day.

When I asked her
why she was late, she said --

Well, she made up some
lame excuse about being sick,

but, I mean, hungover,
more like.

Was Ana in a relationship?

I'm pretty sure she was, yeah.

Um, she didn't confide in me
about him, though.

And where did Ana go
when she moved out?

I don't know.

Weren't you worried about her?

Oh, Andrew said
that she could stay here...

...while she got herself
together, but she told us

to stick our room
and stick our job, so...

Sorry.

It's just that I can't

I can't believe she's dead.

Mm.

According to
the forensic medical examiner,

Ana Bestos was strangled.

The plastic bag was then tied
'round her head after death.

Her clothes were stripped off
postmortem.

I spoke to Interpol.

The Portuguese police
have informed the family.

Ana's parents are hoping to get
a flight over later on today.

So, what was she?

Saint or sinner?

Well, whoever killed her
obviously wanted us

to think she was a sinner.

Billie, chase up
any similar sex crimes

in the London area
over the last six months.

Maybe our perpetrator
has an M.O.

Rob, anything on her phone?

No, but we did find this
on local CCTV.

It was captured
at 9:12 last night.

An hour or two
before Ana was murdered.

It's only 'round the corner
from where Ana was found.

Trace him.

Billie, that CCTV's
crystal clear.

Run it through
facial recognition,

see if we can find out
who this guy is, yeah?

Yep, sure.

Did you get David's phone?

He walked in,
so I had to put it back.

Look, maybe this is
a stupid idea.

Look, I need to find out why
the detective inspector's lying.

-If you've got cold feet...
-No.

...then I'll do it on my own.

I've gotta take this.

Hello? Detective Sergeant
Vivienne Cole.

If you'd like to take a seat,
Mr. Charr.

Thank you.

I'm still in shock.

About Ana.

Could you tell me where you were
between 8:00 p.m.

and midnight last night?

I was at the office
till nearly 11:00.

Then I went home.

How did you get home?

I drove.

I've got a parking space.

Am I some sort of suspect?

I just need to ask
these questions

for elimination purposes.

How did you get on with Ana?

She was a lovely girl.

The boys adored her.

And yet your wife sacked her?

Ana left Jago
standing at the school gate.

Michelle couldn't forgive that.

But you could?

Ana had nowhere to go.

Your wife seems to think
that Ana had a boyfriend?

You don't?

Well, she just didn't seem
the type.

Okay.

Ana's mobile provider came good.

Plenty of calls to her cousin

and a fair few
to someone called Deniz.

The boyfriend?

Maybe.

Michelle Charr supplied me
with the name

of the language school
Ana was attending,

so I gave them a ring.

Deniz Kurtar.

Apparently,
he's the class Casanova.

Wow. Okay.

That's really bad.

So, you knew her
from language school?

Was she your girlfriend, Deniz?

Just friends.

Language school was boring,
so we skipped it together.

Okay, I flirted,
but she said no.

She said she was a virgin.

What, and that just came up
in conversation?

Between friends?

She told me things.

Women do that.

Did you and Ana go out drinking?

Stay out late?

Hey, she was an adult.

She got sacked from her job.

Her boss was difficult.

Like mine.

When did you last see Ana?

Uh...about a week ago.

I thought she was busy looking
for a new family to work for.

Where were you last night

between the hours
of 8:00 and midnight?

You think it was me?

I was here, working.

Go ask the boss.

But maybe don't mention me
and the girl

or missing language school.

He was paying for me to go.

Postmortem report is back.

No evidence of sexual assault
on Ana Bestos,

but she certainly wasn't
a virgin when she died.

There's a very good reason

Deniz Kurtar might have had
for killing her.

Ana was pregnant.

Yeah, but I thought
Deniz was working

at the time of the murder?

Well, his boss went out
about 9:00,

so he can't confirm how long
Deniz hung about for.

I've put a call in
to the waitress

who was working the same shift,
though.

Deniz also neglected to tell us

that Mr. Yilmaz
isn't just his boss.

He's soon to be
his father-in-law.

He's engaged
to his boss' daughter?

So the news
that he got Ana pregnant

wouldn't have gone down
too well.

Yeah, and he'd lose a lot
if Ana spoke out.

Is that motive for murder?

Nick him.

We can do a fetal DNA test to
determine if the baby's yours,

so you might as well
tell us the truth now.

Okay, we went to bed -- once.

And the baby?

She said it's mine,
but who knows?

She said she needs £800
for an abortion.

£800?

And you didn't give her
the money?

I can't get that money.

She says borrow it,
but who from?

- I can't go to my boss.
- Did Ana threaten

to tell your fiancée
about the relationship?

She knew if she did that, I'd
contact her family in Portugal.

So you were fine with her

threatening your future marriage
and your job?

You just let that go.

I didn't kill her.

I was at work.

Oh, yeah,
the waitress on shift with you

said that you left early.

Apparently, you were unwell?

Okay.

Alright.

I was with a girl.

Another.

From the language school.

Name?

Esma.
Her number's in my phone.

You should be talking
to the people Ana worked for.

That crazy cow
was following her everywhere.

-What do you mean?
-Ana couldn't understand it,

how that Michelle knew
where she was all the time.

It was obvious.

She put a tracker
on Ana's phone.

I ran the index
of Michelle Charr's car

through the system,
and guess what.

She got a parking ticket
yesterday

a few hundred yards away
from where Ana was murdered.

You sure
it was Michelle driving?

She paid the ticket
straightaway using her card.

Michelle claims
she hadn't spoken to Ana

since she sacked her.

We need to talk to her again.

Uh, we just need to clarify
a couple of things, Michelle.

Where were you between the hours
of 8:00 and 12:00 last night?

I was at home with my kids
'cause Andrew was working late.

And what about
yesterday afternoon?

Uh...

Various chores around the house.

I picked the kids up
from school.

We have a photograph that shows
you clearly following Ana

at 2:43 yesterday afternoon.

Huh.

Mm. Sorry.

Um, yeah, I lied.

I was following Ana.

How did you know where she was?

I put a tracker on her phone
a little while ago.

You do realize
that stalking's against the law?

I was worried about my kids.

But you sacked her, days ago.

Alright, I wanted to know if she
was sleeping with my husband.

What led you to think that?

Because he's been secretive
and evasive

in the last few months,
and it's not like him.

Did you know
that Ana was pregnant?

Of course I did.
Come on.

I've had two kids.
It's obvious.

And you thought that Andrew
might be the father?

Mm. I followed her,

and I decided to have it
straight out and ask her.

And what did she say?

Nothing.

She got on the Tube,
and I lost her.

I didn't kill Ana.

You have to believe me.

Facial recognition
has given us an I.D.

for the young man from CCTV.

Craig Fleetwood.

He was cautioned last year after
a brawl at a music festival.

He's 18 years old,
from Motherwell,

but he's living in assisted
accommodation in East London.

Speak to control.

Take a couple of uniforms
as backup.

Yeah, background checks
reveal that Fleetwood's

a vulnerable young adult
with learning difficulties.

So we need to get hold of him
without causing harm to himself.

Sure.

Craig Fleetwood?

Get in the cars!

I'm on my way.

I've gotta nip out for a bit.

Hold the fort, will you?

Of course.

Hi, Craig.

I'm a police officer.
My name's Billie.

I know you're scared.

But you might have some
information that could help.

I don't like the uniforms.

And I don't like sirens.

Okay.

I'll sit in the back of the car
with you.

There'll be no sirens.

We'll keep you safe.

I came to London
for a rugby match,

and then -- And then
I just didn't go home

because I can't live under
the same roof as my stepdad.

When did you meet Ana?

Uh, last night.

It was about -- Um,
it was 8:00 on St. Jonas Street.

Some big lad
was giving her hard times.

Um, Ana said
that he was called Deniz.

She said that he was
the father of her -- her baby.

Um, but, so, she needed money,

and then he came
and offered her 50 quid,

and then she just
threw it back in his face.

How did you get involved?

Well, where I come --
Where I come from,

you don't just walk by if you
see someone mistreating a lady.

You stop 'em.

So, what happened?

He thumped me.

I reckon it would have hurt
really bad

if Ana hadn't have stopped him.

She told him to -- to go away,

and then he storms off,
and then, um...

And then she says,
"Do you wanna --

Do you wanna go and get coffee
to say thank you?"

She didn't have anywhere
to sleep, so...

so I showed her a place
that I used to go,

and it's really easy
to get into.

And how was Ana
when you left her?

Um, she was okay.

I-I told her
that she should, um --

I told her that she should
go back to her family

and let them look after her.

She said she would go back

as soon
as she'd had the termination.

I think she said that she'd
be able to pay for it today.

I...

Yeah.

Do you know how?

She'd been promised the money
by her cousin's boyfriend.

Well, you took your time.

I'm here, aren't I?

Does Ana have other cousins?

Yes.
Back home in Portugal.

Why?

Did you know that Ana
was pregnant?

Yes.

Um, she told me.

She wanted money for, um,
a termination.

But she wasn't registered
with a doctor,

so it was going to cost £800,

and I don't have
that sort of money.

What about her other cousins
in Portugal?

They definitely don't have
that sort of cash.

One of our witnesses claims
that Ana was confident

that your boyfriend
was gonna give her the money.

Uh, I don't have a boyfriend.

Your witness has made a mistake.

Okay.

Oh, one last question.

If you could have raised
the cash for Ana,

would you have helped her out?

No.

It might surprise you --

I'm gay,
but I'm also a Catholic.

Abortion is a sin.

You lied, Deniz,
to a murder inquiry.

Do you know how serious that is?

You told us that you
hadn't seen Ana for a week.

It's called perverting
the course of justice,

and that could land you
two to three years in jail.

So I suggest you start
telling us the truth.

I met Ana at a coffee shop near
Kings Cross station last night.

I felt bad for her.

I offered her £50.

She threw it back in my face.

Told me
she didn't need my money.

We heard you and Ana
had a fight.

Who from?

That stupid kid?

Sticking his nose in.

I left them to it.

Then I went to work.

Then I left work early to see
Esma from the language school.

Esma, who still isn't
answering our calls.

Maybe she's waiting
for her husband to go out?

And you say Ana threw
the money back in your face?

Mm-hmm.

So where did she get the money
from, then?

She didn't say,

but my guess
is that it had something

to do with her homo cousin.

She'd just found out he was
seeing her boss, Andrew Charr.

And you didn't think
to tell us this before?

I didn't think it was
of any importance.

You can't stay away.

I thought you were gonna be
someone else.

Hello.
We're just checking

that the electoral register's
up to date.

Do you mind answering
a couple of questions

about who lives here?

Sorry. I'm just
in the middle of something.

I followed him.

I think I know why the detective
inspector is being so secretive.

I think he's got another woman.

What, the woman he was with
the night Sarah disappeared?

Why else would he be so cagey?

She's got a kid.

What, David's?

You tell me.

Where've you been?

Oh, um, I-I checked in on a mate

from the rape and
serious sexual offenses team.

I wanted to see if the crime
scene rang any bells for her.

And did it?

No.

Billie's hit pay dirt.

Yeah, I spoke
to Deniz Kurtar again,

and he reckons
Ana's cousin Gabrielo

and Andrew Charr were lovers.

Despite the fact that Gabrielo
still insists he's single?

Well, maybe he wanted
to hide the fact

that he was seeing
a married man?

Go on.

Andrew Charr took £1,000
out of the bank yesterday.

Which would more than cover
the cost of Ana's termination.

Or shut her up
if she was blackmailing him.

Andrew Charr
was telling the truth.

He didn't leave his office
until nearly 10:30 last night.

And ANPR shows that
he drove straight home.

So he couldn't have killed Ana.

No, but he did have
a visitor at work.

Here is Gabrielo Bestos,

and he visited Andrew's office
at 8:49 last night.

Now, this is Gabrielo Bestos
leaving,

this time with a rucksack
on his back,

which, I'm assuming,
is carrying £1,000 in cash.

Okay, if it was Gabrielo,
why all the theatrics?

Why "slut"?

He told me that he thought
that abortion was a sin.

Let's pull them both in.

We can ask them in person.

Okay, guys, let's go
through here. Come on.

Andrew Charr, I'm arresting you
on suspicion of murder.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention,
when questioned, something

which you later
rely on in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Do you understand?

Was it Gabrielo?
Did he kill Ana?

Save it for the interview.

So it wasn't Ana that Andrew
was having an affair with.

No.

I kind of hoped that it was.

It would have made it
easier to bear.

Look after the kid.

How did it start?

He called over to see Ana.

He flirted with me.

I'd never been with
another man before.

I'd never cheated on Michelle.

I thought I was in love
with him.

Not anymore?

Recently he'd started
pressurizing me

to leave Michelle and the boys.

I tried to tell him how
important my family is to me,

but Gabrielo wouldn't listen.

Look at this.

"To Gabrielo, love you more
than I can say. Andrew."

This has been through the wars.

So they were lovers,
and Ana found out?

Well, how is that motive
for murder in this day and age?

When did Ana find out?

Two days ago.

I was at Gabrielo's place.

I was trying
to finish with him...

...but we ended up
in his shower.

We didn't hear Ana come in.

She threatened to tell Michelle

if I didn't give her £1,000.

After she'd gone,
Gabrielo discovered

that she'd taken a card
that I'd written to him

that he kept by his bed.

He told me I'd better
get hold of the cash.

Why didn't he just give her
the cash?

She was a nice girl
who'd made a mistake.

So you gave Gabrielo the money?

I was worried
that she'd come back for more.

Gabrielo told me
she absolutely would not.

He seemed so certain.

That means
he was planning to kill her.

Doesn't it?

Here you go, baby.
Five minutes, okay?

Hello, Michelle.

Please...

Gabrielo.

Gabrielo, come on.
The children are here.

You don't want to upset them.
You love children.

It's your fault Ana is dead.

Why couldn't you
just let Andrew go?

No!

You're gonna be sorry
you did that.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

Someone made an emergency call
from the Charr household.

No one spoke, but the CAD
operator held the line open,

and he heard a disturbance
in the background.

Of course he'd go there.

He'd blame Michelle,
just like he'd blamed Ana.

- Yep.
- Let's go.

Up there.

He caught her dialing 999.

I think he's got a knife.

There's no sign of the children,
and Michelle's car's missing.

Where's he taken them?

I've just spoken to control.

Uniform patrol
have spotted Michelle's car.

They're heading to Boxing Green.

Over there!

Spread out.

Keep in radio contact.

Alright, boys.
You okay?

Yeah?

Please.

Hi, Gabrielo.

It's Billie.

We met earlier.

You're a police officer.

Go away.

I can't do that, Gabrielo.

Not until
you put the knife down.

The children.

It's not Michelle's fault

that you and Andrew
can't be together.

This doesn't have to end
like this.

Look, my colleagues
are arriving.

Gabrielo Bestos,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion
of the murder of Ana Bestos.

You do not have to say anything,
but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention,
when questioned,

something you later rely on
in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

Do you understand?

When did you decide to kill Ana?

Andrew wrote me a card
saying he loved me.

Ana took it and threatened
to give it to Michelle.

That totally freaked him out.

He said we should stop
seeing each other.

So, why take the £1,000 if you
knew you were gonna kill her?

Maybe to start a new life.

Me and Andrew.

But that was never gonna happen,
was it?

Hmm?

Andrew would have come 'round.

All he needed was time.

How did your family react
when they found out

that you were gay?

They threw me out.

Mm-hmm. And you just
couldn't stand it, could you?

That she would get to have
her termination

and go back home
and play the good Catholic girl

and the family
would be none the wiser.

Abortion is wrong.

She didn't even care
she was gonna kill a baby.

But by killing her,
you terminated the pregnancy.

She was a whore.

And the family love her.

They don't speak to me,

but she was going
to be welcomed back.

Why didn't you tell them
what she'd done?

Because they
wouldn't believe me!

So you made her look
like a prostitute?

Yes.

Now they all know.

Her parents know,
my parents, everyone.

Perfect little Ana...

...no more.

No more.

Should have seen the sarge.
She was on fire.

Can you and Billie
prepare the file for the CPS?

I need a word
with your sergeant.

'Course.

What's up now?

You went to see an old friend

in the rape and serious sexual
offenses team this afternoon?

Yes.

Where's this friend of yours
based?

Divisional headquarters?

Did you go to
divisional headquarters?

No.

So, where did you go?

I'm -- I'm not prepared
to discuss that.

So if I asked you
for a duty statement,

you'd refuse to make one?

I'm sure you're aware
that's a gross breach

of the code of conduct.

The thing is...
I know exactly where you were.

This is my fault.

I asked the sarge
to help me out.

Help you out with what?

I don't know you anymore.

And what's worse,
I don't trust you.

You asked me to lie for you

about where you were
the night your wife disappeared,

and when I questioned you
about it,

you served me up
some pile of crap

that you've squared it
with the misper team.

Go on.

You've got two phones.

What's the second one for?

It's none of your business.

What did you see, Sarge?

This afternoon.

Uh, the detective inspector
with a young woman and a child.

So you think I've got
a bit on the side?

Another kid.

How would it look to you?

Well, I haven't.

Does that satisfy you?

Okay, how about this?

Detective Constable Brady,
you have aided and abetted

Detective Sergeant Cole

in a gross breach
of the code of conduct.

Now, I don't intend to make
this matter official --

yet.

But if you two don't get off
my back, I will.

And then you can wave
goodbye to your jobs

and wave goodbye
to your pensions.

Do I make myself clear?!

Crystal.

That'll be all.

Rob?

Close the door after you.
