Prime Suspect 6: The Last Witness (2003): Season 1, Episode 2 - Part 2 - full transcript

D. Super Tennison grieves over the death of young Yasmina and blames herself for not saving her. Although the "favorite" suspect is in jail, Jane is certain he is not the actual culprit and certainly, did not act alone. Jane and her photojournalist friend, Robert West, visit Bosnia to find the truth about the sadist she knows is responsible for so much death. Various smug political half-wits attempt to silence Jane and halt her inquiries with the Official Secrets Act. Jane gets a timely pep talk from her dad, who tells her how much he admires her for always doing what she believes is right. Jane soldiers forward, putting her career and possibly, her liberty on the line to keep the promise she made to Yasmina.

You give her to me!

I have filled
all the goddamn forms!

Give her body to me now!

You will give her to me.

I have filled
all the goddamn forms!

Her body has to be washed.

It can only be washed
by females.

It has to be shrouded, shrouded
according to Muslim tradition.

As soon as the coroner
releases Jasmina's body,

she can be prepared for burial
along with her sister.

- Here.
- What's that?



These are her belongings.

So you had him
and you let him go.

We didn't have enough evidence
to hold him.

I promised Jasmina she would
be safe, and I let her down.

I'm s... I'm sorry.

You think
this is all because of me.

No.

No, no. I...

I don't think you are in any way
connected or to blame for this.

No.

My divorce came through
last week.

We were going to get married.

No more
looking over her shoulder.

What were they to him?



- Did they know him?
- I wish I could tell you.

He's a security guard.

But who is he?

Who is he?

Zigic.
Duscan Zigic.

Get them to check all the rocks
they've already looked under.

Shelters, hostels, cheap ho...

Yeah, the whole lot.
And the same again tomorrow.

That sighting in Ealing...

How can you mix up a Somali
with a Serbian?

Well, we'll all be able
to look back

knowing we played a small part
in a policing legend.

I've been trying to raise
D.C.l. Finch.

Whoosh. Gone.

He'll want to put
a lot of clear water

between him and this disaster.

You can't blame him.
She nabbed the case off him.

He's only trying
to protect himself.

- Ooooh!
- Ooooh!

Thank you.

This is Mr. Lukic.
He will be your interpreter.

Now, look.
Something between them.

A look, gesture, a handshake.
Something.

I'm... I'm sure
they know each other.

What?

When they first meet,

Zigic says, "Here we go again."

Yeah. So?

Well, it's a little too familiar
for strangers.

I mean, it could mean that
they... they know each other.

No, he qualifies it then.

He says, um,
"Again, us Serbs..."

"Again, the persecution
of the Serbs."

I mean, he could have been
covering the mistake.

Or, I mean, maybe he's genuine.

Maybe that's what he feels
is happening to him.

I don't know.
I don't know.

Maybe I'm seeing it
because you want me to.

Yeah, or maybe it's 'cause I've
got no one else to go after.

Ms. Henderson,
could you spare a few moments?

Regarding what?

Duscan Zigic.

I'm a bit rushed.

Well, perhaps while you eat.

You do a lot of work for the
Serbian community, don't you?

Yes.

Could you tell me
how you first met

the interpreter, Milan Lukic?

No.

- Why not?
- I don't have to.

Your client visited
this community center

quite often, didn't he?

Do you know if Mr. Lukic
has also been a visitor?

I believe he has.

Along with
thousands of other people.

Well, are you aware
of the two men having met

outside of the interview room?

I mean, here, for example.

No, I'm not.

I think
that there might have been

some irregularity concerning
your client and Mr. Lukic.

You know the custody sergeant

has a list
of approved interpreters.

Mr. Lukic is listed.

Yes.
Yes, of course he is.

But it is
the custody sergeant's decision

which interpreter to use,
not the suspects lawyers.

I brought him along
to save time.

I just need to know

if it was your decision
to include Mr. Lukic,

or if he asked or persuaded you
to bring him in.

No, it was my decision.

Zigic had just over two hours
to work his way across London

and locate Jasmina in a hospital
that houses over 4,000 people.

I think he had help.

I think he was told
where to find her.

Cheadle, could you get that file
on Lukic?

See, Jasmina was executed.

She was shot with a single
bullet to the back of the head.

We know that Duscan Zigic
did it.

But with Samira
it was very different.

It was... It was up close.
It was personal.

I mean, she was tortured
with cigarette butts.

She was strangled
with a pair of hands.

Milan Lukic.

The interpreter.
The optician.

See, I think
that Zigic and Lukic

were members of
the same paramilitary unit.

I think those two sisters
were killed

to cover up a massacre
they were both involved in.

I think Lukic was the devil that
Samira saw on her way to work.

He recognized her.
He had Zigic kidnap her.

He then tortured her to try
and find out where Jasmina was

so he could silence her as well.

But Samira wouldn't talk,
so he murdered her.

He dumped her body
to get the maximum publicity

so he could
flush out information

about Jasmina as well.

- So he could find a way...
- Sorry I'm late.

Sorry, gov.

I mean, come on, come on.

This isn't
a one-way street here.

Think the unthinkable...
I might be wrong.

This is a supposition based
on the story of a dead witness.

I have no proof
that there's any connection

between the two men whatsoever.

All I've got
is this file on Lukic.

Of course that's the side
he wants us to see.

It's the side he had vetted.

Well, let's find out the other
side of him, shall we?

All the nasty little secrets.
His work, marriage, debts.

Let's pay
Mr. and Mrs. Lukic a visit

and see what we can find out
about them.

Mr. Lukic.

Could we have a word, sir?

About what?

If we could talk inside, sir.

- Yes'?
- Mrs. Lukic?

Yes?

I'm Detective Superintendent
Jane Tennison,

and this is Detective Constable
Lorna Greaves.

Is your husband home?

No, he's at work.

Oh.

It's just that
he's helping us with a case,

and I just wanted to ask him
a few questions.

Is it all right
if we come in and wait for him?

- Yeah, sure. Come in.
- Lovely. Thank you.

I was just admiring
your two beautiful girls.

I can see your husband in them.

Urn, I don't think so.

They're not his.

Oh, really?
I can usually spot a likeness.

So these are your parents
or his?

These are all photos
of my family.

Have you been to Serbia
to visit his?

No.

Why don't I call him?

No, no.
You know, don't bother him.

Really, this is
just a formality.

It's just that we're asking
everyone who came in contact

with a particular suspect

where they were
at certain times.

You mean, I-like an alibi?

I don't understand.

My husband was working for you,
and now he's a suspect.

No, it's just...
really just standard procedure.

Lorna, what's the, urn, day
that we were talking...

God, you know, my brain's
like a sieve these days.

Saturday the 20th.
About three weeks ago.

Yes, that's right.
Yes, Saturday three weeks ago.

He works on a Saturday.

And that Saturday evening?

Three weeks ago.

We went to the theater.

Oh, really?
What did you see?

I'm going to call him.

Outside of the interview room

have you ever met
or talked with Duscan Zigic?

No.

Have you ever seen him
at the community center

in Bishops Avenue?

- No.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Soon.
Very soon.

It seems my wife is also
being questioned by the police.

Super, I think.

My wife seemed somewhat upset
by the experience.

So if you'll excuse me.

And when he came home,
were you awake or asleep?

Asleep.

You know, I really can't
remember the details

of something so trivial
that happened three weeks ago.

Well, do you remember
what he was wearing that night?

A blue suit, I think.

Do you know what happened
to that blue suit?

No idea at all.

So you can't show it to me?

I would rather wait
until my husband comes home,

if that's all right with you.

- Excuse me.

I've been subjected to
the most ridiculous questions.

Superintendent Tennison.

Mr. Lukic.

This is D.C. Lorna Greaves.

Hello.

I've just been talking
to some of your officers,

but I'm sure you know that.

Please sit.

So this is all because I helped
out as an interpreter, yes?

To eliminate you
from our inquiries, yes.

So your wife says that Saturday
evening three weeks ago

you were at the theater and then
you drove the babysitter home.

What did you do after that?

I came home.
I went to bed.

Was your wife awake?

Yes.
We talked about the play.

Your wife said
that she was asleep.

We sat up and talked.

Well, now you've said it,
I remember.

Sorry.

And what were you wearing?

That I can't remember.

And that Saturday morning?
What were you doing then?

At work. Why?

And what time
did you get to work?

First appointment
would be about 8:00.

Then I work
through to lunchtime.

And how do you know
Rosemary Henderson,

Zigic's solicitor?

I've already been over this.

I did some translation work
for her.

She seemed
to think it went well,

so she contacted me
for this job.

I see.

All right.
Well, thank you.

Thank you, Mrs. Lukic.
I appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Oh, did you serve in the army
during the war?

You know I did.
It's in my police file.

Oh!

Oh, I'm sorry.
Sorry.

Hello, Dad.

Hello.

- Right.
- Uh...

Look, that's, um...

That's Wendy's chair.

No one messes with Wendy.
Sorry.

Oh, okay.
Urn, this one all right?

Yes.

Right.

I hope you're gonna stay long
enough to take your coat off.

How was supper?

Oh, a lot better
than my efforts used to be.

Thanks to
my two very generous daughters,

I have the best room
in the house.

Really, it's...

good here.

Pam tells me
they've offered you retirement.

Yeah, well,
it's just one option.

Take it.

Grab it with both hands.
Run for the hills.

Well, look at you.

You can start a whole new life.

You've done your bit
over and over.

Time you got out of the sewers.

Yeah, well, that's how
you've always seen it.

- Oh, sorry.

Look at the thanks you get.

The newspapers.

That girl's murder.

It's as if
you'd pulled the trigger.

I tell you, once you've stopped,
you'll look around,

the only question
you'll be asking

is why you didn't do it sooner.

Seen a ghost?

It's going cold.

You can sense other priorities
taking over.

I mean, perhaps he has
legged it home.

- Sorry.
- Huh?

Lukic's details, gov.
He checks out.

I went as far back
as his student days.

A year in Bosnia, and then
he trained in Manchester.

Both the university
and the eye hospital

confirm he graduated.

Now, they couldn't
give us a lot...

the records for his year
are very patchy...

but I did find out that he set
up a shop with his wife's money.

- Yes!
- Oh, good.

Yes!

The Hardy case.

They all went down.
18 years apiece.

Good. Well done, Simon.

Congratulations.

Gov, I think
we might have something.

The appointments Lukic had
for that Saturday...

some of them are fictional.

His 8:00 and 8:30 were real.

But from 9:00 till 1:00,

although the names are
genuine clients, when I checked,

they didn't actually have
appointments for that morning.

So not only could he have
crossed paths with Samira,

but he's covering it up,
as well.

Simon.

Simon, if you've got a moment

perhaps some of
your good fortune

will rub off
on this investigation.

Well done, sir.

Sorry, Taff.
No time for that.

"Itchy and Scratchy Show."

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
He does know you're here.

Lynda.

Would you get me a double
espresso and one of those cakes?

Uh... I'll pay you back.

If you've come for your glasses,
I'm afraid they're not in yet.

No, that's not why we're here.

We're here to ask you again
where you were

on the morning of
Saturday the 20th of last month.

Well, as I told you,
I was with clients.

But I wasn't here all the time.

Where were you?

The Boston Hotel.

- Hyde Park?
- Yes.

I met a client there at 9:30
and stayed until about 12:00.

Why did you meet the client
at the hotel?

For sex.

It's never the lie
that damns you, is it?

It's always the cover-up.

- Mickey?
- Yeah.

We've had a tipoff.

Zigic. It's a phone-in,
but this one sounds real.

Aubrey Hotel, King's Cross.

Hotel manager
just confirmed the description.

Lovely.

I love my wife, and I was trying
to protect my marriage.

I filled in false appointments

in the hope you'd see
I had a full morning.

I'm not at all practiced or very
bright at this kind of thing.

I panicked.

Excuse me.
Boss?

All right, can we have
the client's details, please?

Of course.

Perhaps it was working
as an interpreter...

a voyeur
into your criminal world.

I thought
I could get away with it.

I'd make a hopeless villain.

Yes, the name and address of the
client you were with, please.

Will you tell my wife?

If it has nothing to do
with our criminal investigation,

we won't interfere
in a private matter

between you and your wife.

So the name, please.

Yes, of course.

Sarah Ford.

He's in Number 9.

Got a half-mile silence zone.

Understood.

-
- Shit.

Off!

Oh, come on.
Come on, come on!

Got it? Good.

- I've been expecting you.
- Yeah.

The suspect is believed to be

in a first-floor room
facing the street.

Roadblocks are ready to go.
My lads are being briefed now.

- Have you got the authority?
- Yes.

ls there anything
else I need to know about?

Yes,
he's ex-Bosnian paramilitary.

So he's not gonna
give himself up.

That's a question
of national pride.

He'll either shoot his way out
or he'll commit suicide.

Inspector to all patrols.
Implement roadblocks now.

I have clear sight
of the suspect.

Repeat, I have clear sight.

I have lost sight of suspect.

There's a question as to whether

the suspect
is still in the room.

Oh, God, not again.

- Get back, get back, get back.
- Get back, please.

What the...
Fucking hell. What's going on?

Uh!

Get up, get UP-

I'm not leaving anything.

Contact rear!

Freeze!

Get back in!

You went to your room.

Gents.

- Hello, Larry.
- How are you?

- Fine, thanks.
- Haven't seen you in ages.

Would you like
a cup of tea, sir?

- Milk, no sugar.
- Front row, sir?

Do you understand the question?
Do you need the interpreter?

How's it going?

Well, I think
he's trying to work out,

"Is it going to help me
if I go Muppet?"

So we went to your room
that Friday evening,

and you weren't there.

Where did you go?

Hospital.

And why did you go
to the hospital?

I was sick.
Very sick.

Did you see a doctor?

Don't remember.

Now, you know all about
security cameras, don't you,

because that's your job.

So you were seen on a security
camera carrying a gun.

The same gun that
we found on you at the hotel.

That gun was used
to kill a young woman.

We have evidence that suggests
that you killed that woman.

That's all right.
We won't talk about that now.

That's painful for you.

I know.
I know it's painful.

Because you don't kill
women and children, do you?

That's not why
you fought for your country.

No.

10 years ago you were ordered
to kill two young sisters.

Weren't you?

But you disobeyed that order.

You let them go.

And that's why
we won't talk about

what happened at the hospital.

But what we do need
to talk about

is how you knew
where to find her.

Did someone tell you?

Who told you?

I killed her.

I killed her.

'Yes!

Who told you where to find her?

I killed her.

Yes, but not the first woman.

I mean, that girl was tortured.

Tortured!
You don't torture.

What's she doing?

You wouldn't burn
a girl with cigarettes.

That's not you.
That's not you at all.

Who did that?

I killed them both.

Both sisters.

- It's a double.
- I want to confess.

I killed them both.

Why did you kill them?

Well done, guys.
Drinks are on me.

I don't believe
you did this on your own.

This is my word.
I say no more.

To the double.
Cheers!

- Where's Jane?
- The old one-two.

Bloody typical.
Late as usual.

She's on her way.

I saw you on the evening news,
sir. Very impressive.

- Looked good.
- Should make the 10:00, too.

"Police catch evil monster."

That should shut the bastards up
for a while, eh?

She's convinced there's another
man involved, you know?

Can you imagine
that for the rest of his life,

every time he flushes a toilet,
the anxiety, huh?

Pbht! He's gonna shit himself
again, isn't he?

I've seen him.

You've seen who?

Zigic... the man
on the poster, on the TV.

- I've seen him.
- Where's that, sir?

The Aubrey Hotel,
King's Cross.

King's Cross?
And when was that?

Now. I see him now.
He just went in.

Okay. Can I just take
your name and number?

Sir?

Tennison.

Ah, there you are, ma'am.

There's a Mr. Lukic in reception
for you.

He says
he has something for you.

Thank you.

I was passing by.

- Please?
- Oh.

Mm. Good.

May I?

Excellent.

If you have any problems, please
don't hesitate to call me.

Well, goodbye.

Oh, I saw the news
about our friend.

Mr. Zigic.

Congratulations.

Oh, God. The last time
I saw Martin was, uh...

- Your wedding.
- At the wedding.

He's always complaining that's
the last time he saw anybody.

Well, you did the right thing
to concentrate on your career.

Simon tells me
you did all the hard slog,

spotted the white van...
Well done.

That's where the answers
always are... in the details.

We need more good people
like you coming through.

Good work.

There she is.

- Well done, ma'am.
- No. Good result all around.

Good work. Thanks.

- Cheers.
- Yeah.

- But not over yet.
- Jane.

Yeah?
Yes, sir.

I'm glad it came good for you.
Well done.

Yeah, well, thank you, sir.

I've charged him
with the second murder.

I still want to question him
about the first one.

Oh, look, sorry.
I've got to get this.

Excuse me.

You were right.

And I was so wrong.

You know, I listened
to that tip-off phone call.

Yeah.
Male, foreign accent.

That was made from
an untraceable mobile phone.

I mean,
it could have been genuine.

But if it wasn't, that was meant
to be a death sentence.

Someone knew that we'd send
an armed response unit.

They knew that Zigic would try
and fight his way out

or else he'd take his own life.

Well, it wasn't Lukic.

The call was made at 15:17.
He was with us.

- Yeah, was he?
- Yeah. Yeah, he was.

We got to the shop at 15:15.
Maybe even a bit before.

Yeah, but don't you remember
he kept us waiting?

Like three, four minutes.

I mean, that's long enough
to make a mobile phone call.

You really want it to be him,
don't you?

All right, don't celebrate
too soon, guys.

Not done and dusted, okay?

Hold your horses.

Gov.

Should I call a lawyer?

There's a swarm of them
just beyond that glass.

Mr. Lukic didn't warn you

that we'd be asking you
to support his alibi?

No, he didn't.

But that doesn't
necessarily surprise me.

Oh?

I can support his alibi.

I was with him
at the Boston Hotel

that particular Saturday.

We met about 9:30
and left sometime before 12:00.

Can you be
a little more precise?

About what?

The time.

Not really, no.

Who paid for the room?

It was my turn.

The credit-card transaction
says 11:43.

Give us two minutes
to say goodbye

and "We really must
do this again sometime,"

puts us back out on the street
at 11:45.

He went north.
I went west.

Sergeant, would you mind waiting
outside for a few moments?

Yes, ma'am.

Woman to woman.

I thought you might not be
quite so frightened.

What's he done?

We're investigating the brutal,
sadistic murder of a young woman

that took place
that Saturday evening.

And you suspect Milan?

How long have you known him?

Two or three months.
We've met five or six times.

Well, where did you first meet?

He's my optician.

But you're in a relationship.
How did that start?

I went to have my eyes checked.

What I thought was going to be
a very dull chore

turned out to be fun.

He's very seductive.
Charming.

Extremely straightforward.

He knew what he wanted,
and he knew how to ask.

It was refreshing.

Did he talk about his marriage?

Yes.
He cheats on his wife.

I doubt he gave me
a second thought

outside the times
we were together.

But brutal and sadistic?

No, I'm sorry.
Absolutely not.

That's just not him at all.

And I would know.

So 11:45 to 12:00...

Well, it still gives us
a 15-minute window

in which
he could have seen Samira

and she could have seen him.

Do you want my honest opinion?

No.

So you can see the hotel
from here.

Well, Sarah Ford said
he was walking north,

in this direction.

Samira would have been
on her way to work,

in the opposite direction.

She's gonna go in right there.

So it would have been
around about 11:50, 11:55.

So let's say that he saw her
'round about here.

But, I mean,
can you imagine that shock?

He was...
He was certain she was dead.

And now she's come back
to haunt him.

She could ruin his new life.

Yeah, but he hasn't seen her
for 10 years.

She was a kid.
12 years old.

Well, maybe she looks very like
her sister did when she was 22.

And Samira would definitely
recognize the man

who raped and tortured her
for four days.

So... So she catches sight
of him.

He walks on.

But he's... he's not certain
that she saw him.

He's not even sure
that it was her.

He's got to make himself sure.

Otherwise, it's gonna
gnaw away at him.

So... So he can't resist.

He looks back and sees her
going into the hotel.

Now, we were getting close
to him.

We made him admit that he was
here that Saturday morning.

So he gives us Zigic.

He knew that Zigic
was a loyal soldier,

he'd lay down to two murders.

Maybe we'd... we'd kill him
into the bargain.

But there's no link between
"Zigick" and "Lukick."

- Zigic and Lukic.

Zigic and Lukic.

Thank you.

I found your massacre.

Are you serious?

An Italian cameraman
I used to hang out with

heard I was digging around.

It's the exact date.

And the details match.

He tried
to sell the footage here,

but it was thought too harrowing

to be shown in British homes
after dinner.

Urn, what button is it?

The triangle.

I've got it.

Oh, my...

And where does this take us?

Well, it shows
that the massacre took place.

See, I think those two sisters
were murdered to cover it up.

I think it's absolutely
essential that I go to Bosnia,

I visit
the site of the massacre

to establish a link
with Milan Lukic.

Oh, you think so?

Well, I've studied his file.

And he's been
very carefully vetted.

Yeah, well, all the more reason
to go to Bosnia.

I think that he's the mind
behind both murders.

That's supposition without any
credible evidence whatsoever.

Well, yeah. That's because
the evidence is in Bosnia.

How many current murder
investigations are you managing?

Hmm? 24?

Jane, I can't sanction this
in terms of time, money,

or just sheer
effective policing.

You've got a suspect
who's confessed to both murders.

Close it.
Move on.

No way are you going to Bosnia.

This is it.

You wait here.

Police.

They don't much like foreigners

sticking their fingers
in old wounds.

Did they talk about
the massacre?

Massacre?

What massacre?

Ne.

Ask her if she was here
in the summer of '92.

Da.

- Dovidjenja.
- Dovidjenja.

She's lived here all her life.

There was no massacre,
no paramilitary,

and she's never seen him.

Uh, excuse me.

Thanks.
Dovidjenja.

- What are they saying?
- Nothing helpful.

You're not the force for good
you imagine yourself to be.

There's a lot of people here
think they lost the war

through meddling foreigners.

Well, are there any Muslims
we can ask?

I'm sorry I asked you
to come back here.

Well, I didn't do
any good here before,

and now I feel
even more useless.

We're never gonna
find out anything.

Okay, well, let's move on
to where we know he studied.

How far is it to Krazi...

- Krazinac.
- Krazinac.

Four or five hours.

Maybe a little longer.

You told me I would never
understand how he thinks,

I wouldn't be able
to get inside of his head.

I thought going to the factory
would help.

All it did was terrify you.

Sickened me.

Well, there's hope for you yet.

I spent four years taking
pictures of it, and I miss it.

Tennison and West.

Room 7.

- There's another room?
- Just a second.

Room 15.

You're on the seventh,
and you're on the eighth floor.

- Hvala.
- Thank you.

You're welcome.

My floor.

Oh, shit.

It's supposed to be an enduring
legacy of all communist regimes.

Oh, Jesus.

Excellent filing.

On everyone and everything.

Didn't work
for this population.

Oh!

Sorry.

- Milan Lukic, yes?
- Yes, yes.

Milan Lukic completed
an ophthalmic course here,

then moved to England...
Manchester.

- Could I see?
- Yeah, sure.

Nothing else?

No.

Could you see
if you could locate someone

who worked with him,
studied with him,

but still lives in the area?

I'd be very appreciative.

Y-You sit down here, Robert.

"Won't you sit down, Robert?

Oh, anything for you, Robert."

Milan Lukic.
Of course.

He's alive?

Yes, yes.
He's living in London.

We were students together.

He went to study in England.

Came back when the war broke out
to look after his father.

And then the idiot
got himself drafted.

So when was the last time
you saw him?

Early on in the war.

We lost contact.
I heard rumors he was dead.

A very shy and gentle man.

Always writing terrible poetry.

Shy?

This man?

That's not Milan.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Well, do you know who this is?

Dragan Jankovic.

Dragan...

Jankovic.

Jankovic.

Um...
Well, how do you know him?

He studied with us.

But he never completed.

I think there was some kind
of family expectation

that he would
go into an uncle's practice.

But he went
into local government

or somewhere
where he could scam money.

Was he in the army?

Not the regular one.
Too many rules.

In the beginning, we were quite
distant from the war here.

Jankovic was one of the first

later to be known
as the "weekend warriors."

They had contacts
with the paramilitary groups.

They'd keep their regular jobs

but go off and play soldiers
at the weekend.

Jankovic wasn't interested
in politics.

He wasn't a nationalist.

It was just a sport to him.

Hunting Muslims.

Then I heard he disappeared,
so we assumed he'd been killed.

What happened?

He became an optician.

In North London.

Simon?
Simon, it's me.

Listen, put a surveillance
on Milan Lukic.

We've had a major breakthrough.
He isn't who he says he is.

So I'll meet you
tomorrow morning.

I want a squad meeting
at 8:00 sharp, okay?

Good. Bye.

Where does he think
you've been phoning from?

Paris... where you're taking me
when this is all over.

Jane.

We're needed over at Scotland
Yard for a meeting. Now.

A meeting? Why?
What's the meeting about, sir?

I'd be lying
if I said I didn't know.

Bosnia?

What the hell did you think
you were playing at?

Come in, Jane.
Take a seat.

Sir.

Scratch your mark on those.

Official secrets.

It's never been
a problem for you before.

And then are we going to
be introduced?

Oh, I'm not important.

I just brought the forms over.

Obrad Stankovic,
Milutin Kasumovic, Rade Vemic.

They have over 100 indictments
for crimes against humanity.

The U.N. have been after them
for years.

And after a great deal
of effort, time, and money,

they've got them.

But they wouldn't have got them

without information supplied
by Milan Lukic.

Lukic has infiltrated a section
of the Serbian community

that has intelligence
on the whereabouts

of suspected war criminals.

He's in position to be
extremely useful in the future.

Milan Lukic's real name
is Dragan Jankovic.

He is also a war criminal.

He is responsible for the rape

of women and children
as young as 12

and for the massacre of some 3O
civilian Muslim men and boys.

You are correct
about his name and cover.

We helped set it up for him,

as well as securing him
a position

as an approved
police interpreter.

We know the rumors...

the "weekend warrior,"
the massacre that you refer to.

None of them are true.

It's probably difficult
for you to appreciate

the number of old scores
that are settled by accusation

in Bosnia.

We are aware of
the unsubstantiated allegations

made by one of
the murdered sisters

that she was a witness
to the massacre.

But she identified Zigic,
not Jankovic.

And if Dragan Jankovic
is responsible

for the murder
of those two sisters?

He isn't.

Well, I can produce evidence
to prove that he is.

We don't think you can.

Yes, well, with respect, what
you think is not the issue here.

I am the senior
investigating officer,

and it is a matter
between myself

and the
Crown Prosecution Service.

Yes, it is.
There's no question about that.

You became suspicious
of Jankovic

because of his role
as a police interpreter.

You correctly deduced

that he was infiltrating
the interview room.

There is, however,
no other connection

and no history
between him and Zigic.

There are no records
that will connect them.

And no contemporary
evidence either.

We have come to the conclusion
that Zigic was acting alone

and that the alibi provided
by Mrs. Jankovic for her husband

proves conclusively that he is
innocent of any involvement.

I do appreciate that the desire

to associate oneself
with an historical tragedy

is a very potent one.

Gives a sense of self-worth
and importance.

I advise you
to resist that urge.

You may not use anything
that has been said here

or deduce anything
from what you have learnt

to further your investigation.

To do so would put you in breach
of the Official Secrets Act.

And, of course,
you may not tell anyone

of what has happened here,
is that clear?

Detective Superintendent
Tennison?

Yes.

Yes, that's clear.

- Boss?
- Here she is, boss.

I had everyone here for 8:00.

Get Zigic produced.

We're charging him
with both murders.

Gov, I had a thought...

The real Lukic
lived in Manchester.

In four years,
he must have gone to a dentist.

I've been checking
for dental records.

No luck yet, but I've still got
some people getting back to me.

So are we going after him?

- No. No.
- What?

I mean, not on the evidence
we've got.

We'll never secure a conviction.

We're not even gonna ask him
who he thinks he is?

No, with all the other
investigations we've got

requiring time and money, no.

We will secure a conviction
against Zigic.

Get him produced.

After all that?

She's been overruled.

Come on.
Cheer up.

It's a success.
Time to move on.

Plenty of other cases.

Tick, tick, tick.

Tick, tick, tick.

Oh, come on.

Tick, tick, tick.

I don't know what to do.

It's a long time
since I've heard that.

From what you've told me,
you've done your bit.

It's up to others now.

Oh.

That factory you went to

where the two sisters
hid amongst the dead...

You know I drove an ambulance
in the war.

- You did know that, didn't you?
- Yeah.

Well, we got an order to go over
to a place called Belsen.

The name didn't mean anything.

We didn't know
what a concentration camp was.

We never knew they existed.

We got there
the day it was liberated.

April 15, 1945.

Just before we pitched up,

someone had seen a movement
in this...

mountain of skeletons.

They pulled a little girl out.

She lived for a couple of hours.

So we were given the orders

to search through
all the mountains

in case there were others.

Later on,
they put a figure on it...

10,000 unburied corpses.

We were ambulance men.
We were used to death, but...

I say skeletons,
but they weren't just bones.

They were
men, women, children...

who had been starved, gassed.

And because the incinerators
hadn't been working...

They were piled up like rubbish.

No, we didn't find anything.

We didn't find anyone.

I think that little girl
must have crawled in

looking for somewhere
to hide or...

somewhere quiet
so she could die in peace.

You know...

up until about the age of 12,

you were an angel.

You'd light up a room.

And then, bang, overnight,
you were a teenager.

You ran us ragged.

And it got worse.

Anti-this, anti-that.

So certain, so bloody-minded.

You couldn't leave
anything alone.

You terrified me.

But you know what?

God, I always...
I did admire you.

I was so proud.

You had convictions.

Well, I buried mine
at that camp.

When I came home, all I wanted
was your mother, a steady job.

Children.

And nothing to do with the evil
I saw in that camp.

But...

here you are,
having to deal with it again.

But you will.
You will.

You'll know what's right.

And you'll do it.

Thanks, Dad.

I know what I'm doing. I just
don't know why I'm doing it.

Good morning, sir.

I'm Detective Sergeant
Alun Simms.

I'd like you to come with me
to a police station

to answer some questions.

Questions about what?

It will be explained
to you, sir.

You know something?
I don't want to go.

Dragan Jankovic,

I'm arresting you on suspicion
of the murder of Samira Blekic.

This is absolute nonsense.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defense
if you do not mention...

And this, madam, is a warrant

which entitles us
to search these premises.

What about my daughters?
I have two small children.

I have to pick them up
from school.

We can arrange
for social services

to collect them
and take care of them,

or we can allow you
to make a phone call

to arrange for a friend or
relative to look after them.

I'm sorry, this is totally
out of the question... totally.

Susan?

Elizabeth Lukic,
I'm arresting you

on suspicion of perverting
the course of justice.

Superintendent, how are you?

What's going on?

She changed her mind.

Do you think that Hall
knows about this?

Good question.
Press that button and ask her.

Good morning, Mr. Jankovic.

I must insist you call my client
by his correct name, Lukic.

Jankovic is not his name.

Well, I believe it is.

For the record, I am showing
the suspect a document.

It lists the names
of the students

who studied ophthalmology

in the University of Krazinac
in 1987.

The names I'd like him
particularly to note

are Dragan Jankovic
and Milan Lukic.

Now, I have a written statement
from a witness

who will confirm the suspect's
identity as Dragan Jankovic,

not Milan Lukic.

He goes
under an assumed identity.

For the record,

the witness's statement
is incorrect.

My name is Milan Lukic.

As I have told you,

I have been vetted
by the Metropolitan Police

for my work
as an approved interpreter.

Yes, well, perhaps
they didn't do a very good job.

You'll have to take that up
with them.

I believe some very
senior officers were involved.

For the video,
I am showing Mr. Jankovic

photographic record
of the bodies of 26 men.

I believe he gave the order
for these men to be executed.

My client has not been arrested

in connection
with these alleged crimes.

These questions are irrelevant.

They are relevant
because I believe

the murders under investigation

were carried out
to cover up this massacre.

Ridiculous.

We have a witness

who says that you were the
leader of a paramilitary unit.

I went home
to look after my father.

I was drafted into the army.

I was not in the paramilitary.

Well, why don't you tell me
about your war?

Did you kill?

Yes.

Once?

Twice? More?

Many times.

And did you kill
women and children?

We all did.

Civilians get caught up in wars.

I believe we were
all responsible for many deaths

in one way or another.

Did you ever strangle anyone?

Superintendent,
I really must insist...

Yes.

And was that a man or a woman?

A young man.

A nighttime operation.

I spent the rest of the night
lying next to him in the trench.

It was a very cold, long night.

The reality of war.

Did you ever write about
your experiences?

You've done your research.

My poetry.

Guilty as charged.

Oh, I'm so sorry
to keep you waiting.

I need to get home
to my children.

Oh, yes, yes.
I... Of course you do.

I do understand.

We've discovered
that your husband

is living under
an assumed identity.

His real name
is Dragan Jankovic.

I know. I understand.
It's a shock.

You won't want to believe it.

But we will be able to verify
his identity in court.

You have been the victim
of a very cruel fraud.

Your husband
is not who he says he is.

I know exactly
who my husband is.

I don't think you do.

He's a brutal, sadistic man who
committed atrocities in Bosnia,

including the rape
of a 12-year-old girl

who he subsequently murdered
four weeks ago.

Well, I... I think it's best
to let you absorb this.

I'll... I'll leave you
for a while.

No. I need to get home
to my children.

Look and learn, children.
Look and learn.

I have to get back
to my children.

Saturday morning, the 20th,

you were at the Boston Hotel
with Sarah Ford.

Yes.

You arrived at 9:30,
and we know you left at 11:45.

Where did you go after that?

- Back to work.
- And what route did you take?

I walked
to the underground station.

So you would have passed
the back entrance

of the Radcliffe Court Hotel?

That is the hotel
where Samira Blekic worked.

She would have been walking
towards you on her way to work

between 11:45 and 12:00 noon.

I do wish you'd wear
the glasses I prescribed.

Eye strain can lead
to headaches,

create all sorts
of serious problems.

You failed to complete

your ophthalmic training,
Mr. Jankovic.

You're not a qualified optician.

Not true.

And I didn't hear
any complaints from you.

You set up your business with
your wife's money, didn't you?

She's my business partner.

Was your business partner aware
of what you were up to

on that Saturday morning?

Not very good for business,
is it?

The relevance of this is...

The sense of power
that must have given you

to make people stand in a line
and then walk down the line,

making them shake hands
with you.

Smiling, being charming.

Deciding who would die

and who might live
for just a little bit longer.

Very difficult to go back
to your boring little life

as an optician in North London
after that.

I object to your attempts
to humiliate my client.

Oh, no, this goes to the very
heart of who Mr. Jankovic is.

The war gave him
a chance to be everything

that he is truly capable
of being.

All the normal rules and
social constraints were gone.

So that must have been

a terrible shock for you
that morning

to see that youngest sister
walking towards you.

I mean, you'd given orders
that she should be killed.

But then maybe...
maybe a sense of excitement.

The chance to experience
that power again.

I'm an approved
police interpreter,

helping both my community
and the police,

and this is how I am treated.

I understand I am a foreigner...

and I have to live with
all the suspicion and prejudice

that goes with that.

But I will take my complaints to
the highest police authority.

The very highest.

And I will pursue every officer
who has been involved

in this unfounded attack
on myself and my family.

Hall.

Yeah.

No, you did
absolutely the right thing.

Yeah.

Jesus Christ!

Do you trust your husband,
Mrs. Lukic?

Implicitly.

Then would you mind telling me
what he was doing

on the morning
of Saturday the 20th of May?

He was at work.

Do you know a woman
called Sarah Ford?

Well, she was with your husband
on that Saturday morning.

The Boston Hotel.
Hyde Park.

Between 9:30 and 11:45
in the morning.

I mean, do you really trust him
to tell you the truth?

Oh...

Come on,
you're holding on to something

that you know is slipping away.

He's lied to you
again and again and again.

You're innocent.

Just tell us the truth.

What time did your husband
really come home?

What was he wearing?
What happened to his clothes?

Did he shower?
How did he destroy them?

You know the answers
to these questions.

And, you know, right now
your husband is in another room

answering the same questions.

And if he tells us the truth
before you do,

then you are going to prison
for a very long time.

Chief Superintendent
Lawrence Hall

has entered the room.

What?

He's handed me a note.

I am terminating this interview.

The time is 14:46.
Thank you, Mrs. Lukic.

Look, if I went into court
armed only with that confession,

which I know to be partly
untrue, I'd risk everything.

I have to establish the truth.

You weren't gathering evidence
against Zigic.

You were going after Lukic.

It's as if the meeting we had
never took place.

I thought it never did
take place.

Look, I was very careful
not to use any information

that I learnt at that meeting.

Why, Jane?

Because those two sisters
came to this country

believing it to be safe.

They thought it was a country

where decisions about
who went free and who did not

were decided in open court,
not behind closed doors.

And what about the bigger fish
that Lukic can help us bring in?

Well, maybe turning a blind eye
to torture and murder

will bring about
bigger and better arrests.

I don't know. I don't have
any control over that.

All I can do is deal with
what's in front of me.

Did it ever cross your mind
you might actually be wrong?

Yes.

You're off this investigation.
Take a week's leave.

God knows what the consequences
of this are gonna be.

Come in.

Superintendent Tennison
is stepping down

from the investigation.

She's taking a week's leave
for personal reasons.

I want you to take over.

Yes, sir.
Um...

I'm actually pretty full on

with the river stabbing
at the moment, sir.

Sir.

Superintendent Tennison
will not communicate with you

regarding this investigation.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

And I want Zigic's CPS files
for both murders

submitted to me A.S.A.P.

And what about
the other suspect, sir?

There are none.

Thank you.

Madam. Sir.

So, what's he trading with?
Information?

I didn't tell you
he was trading with anything.

Well, if you can't touch him and
you're not allowed to tell me

why you can't touch him,
he must be.

There's no other reason.

I mean, if I could have
just shown them

that he'd murdered
on British soil,

they would have dropped him.

- What?
- I think you're being naive.

They might not have
wanted to look,

but if I'd have shoved it
down their throats,

they'd have had no choice.

I cocked it up, Robert.

Twice.

Once in the interview room
and again with the squad.

I didn't bring them with me.

I mean, the way Hall walked in,
he was tipped off.

Do you know by who?

Can't be certain.

How certain are you
about Jankovic?

Well, put it this way...

If I was on a jury
presented with the evidence

that I've got on him,
I'd let him walk free.

But he's guilty.

It's Samira and Jasmina's
funeral tomorrow.

I can't be there.

Women aren't allowed.

Would you go for me?

Of course.

Tell Jasmina I'm sorry.

Hi.
My name is Robert West.

I'm a friend
of Inspector Tennison.

She asked me
to represent her here today.

She sends her condolences.

I think we should take
his fucking eyes out first.

You fucked it up for me.

Kasim asked questions...

intelligent, direct,
honest questions.

I wasn't gonna lie to him.

I only told him
what I'd found out.

Nothing came from you.

And I didn't put him up to it.
He came to his own conclusion.

He couldn't find justice
in this country.

And letting Zigic take the drop
on his own

and protecting Jankovic

was an insult
to the two women he murdered.

How is this gonna help them?

I met a few Jankovics in Bosnia.

But I met a lot more Kasims.

Broken, stuck, no redress.

The only way he was ever going
to have any kind of peace,

to have a life
with some way forward,

was to feel that justice
had been done.

And what Kasim and his friends
are doing to Jankovic right now,

you call that justice?

Yes.

Kasim doesn't have murder
in him.

And what about the other men?

What you've set into motion goes
against everything I believe in,

everything I stand for.

I know.

Taff, I need a favor.

Yeah, we're here now.
Who's the... Who am I meeting?

How's it going?

What with?

With this case...
the river disco stabbing.

We've got a few leads.
I'm setting up a reconstruction.

Am I being set up here?

Taffy told me
where I could find you,

but he doesn't know
why I'm here.

Listen, what's happening
with Jankovic?

We're looking for him.

We know Kasim was involved.

We've got some tenuous info.

There's a slim chance
Kasim might try

and ship him back to Bosnia
for some sort of trial.

We've got his cigarette route
through Dover covered.

Source thinks it'll happen
in the next 24 hours.

If we get confirmation,
we'll move on it.

For what it's worth, I think
you were doing the right thing

going after Jankovic.

Well, someone
in the squad doesn't.

They won't know we've met.

So how's his wife taking it?

Not good.
Not good at all.

I made a mistake.

You know,
I thought I could crack her,

but it was never gonna happen.

She was the weak link,

so Jankovic
made her safe somehow.

And I think I know how.

But of course
I can't officially tell you.

I want another crack at her.

Simon, I need your help.

Thank you, ma'am.

If I could be alone with her?

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

Mrs. Lukic.

I've... I've come
to apologize to you

for the ordeal
that I put you through.

I have nothing to say to you.

I've come to assure you

that everything possible is
being done to find your husband.

He was taken
because of your accusations.

Are you satisfied?

Oh, God, no.
Of course I'm not satisfied.

Your husband's entitled
to a fair trial

just like anyone else.

You're still accusing him.

He is still wanted
for questioning

concerning two murders, yes.

Would you please leave my house?

You're not sorry about anything.

Oh, believe me, I am.

Actually, I've seen
a lot of cases like yours.

You're not alone.

You're in a state of shock

from discovering the truth
about your husband.

And at first you just cling on
to this idea

of who you thought he was,
who you wanted him to be.

You have no idea
about my husband.

No idea at all.

You know, I came here
on my own today on purpose

so we could speak
off the record.

Anything you say to me,
I can't use.

You can deny
that it was ever said.

Please, Mrs. Lukic.
Please, please.

Just give me two minutes.
Please.

Well, we are trained not to
become personally involved,

but I do.

I just feel this overriding
sense of responsibility

to protect your two children
from your husband.

You sanctimonious,
meddling bitch.

You know nothing
about my husband.

Nothing at all.

I think I do,
and I do understand something

of the shame you must feel.

Shame? Shame?!

Stupid, stupid woman!

I am proud of my husband.

He's a man of principle.

He's risked his life to bring
war criminals to justice.

Have you any idea of
the moral conviction it takes

to go against your own people...

friends, men who trust you...

to secure what you believe
is right?

Oh, my God.

Oh, I'm s...
I didn't know.

My husband works
for the British government.

He is protected
by the British government.

Now get out
of my fucking house!

How's it looking?

Good.
Nice and low-key.

They wouldn't know
an operation was going on

till they're well down the line.

Latest intelligence is it's
still likely to be a white van,

but keep your eye out
for anything.

Duscan, I'm not here
to make you say anything.

Your commander, Dragan Jankovic,
won't be prosecuted.

Even if you tell the truth
about him,

it won't make any difference.

But I-l just wanted you to know
who you were protecting.

Very good. Okay.

Please get back.

Excuse me, love.

Could you come and check
this van for me again, please?

Back off.
Step away from the van, please.

Listen, in this car...

Step away from the van,
please, sir.

No, no.
Get away!

There are shrouds in there...
burial shrouds!

Transit van
pulling away from Lane 55!

Back in the cars!

Get in the cars, chaps.
The white van!

The white transit van!
All units now!

- In the cars. Quick, Taff.
- All right, then.

- Sorry about that, boy.

Come on, let's go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Come on, come on, come on!

In the van.
Quick.

Nothing.

- Fuck.
- Bollocks.

You got a crowbar
or something there, Taff?

Yeah.

- Hello, mate.
- You got him?

Very good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Have you any idea of
the moral conviction it takes

to go against
your own people...

friends, men who trust you...

to secure what you believe
is right?

My husband works
for the British government.

He is protected
by the British government.

He tipped us off
about where to find you.

He knew that we'd come after you
armed with guns.

He was hoping
that we'd kill you.

And now he's hoping
that you'll stay loyal to him.

Because loyalty is something
you understand.

Don't you, Duscan Zigic?

But not him.

And that's the difference
between you.

I'm going to destroy that tape.

I was never here.
I never played it to you.

In my language...

it's called a viadukt...

a train that runs in the sky.

Hello, gov.
You back?

Yeah.

Okay, you keep the copies, and
I'll take the original, okay?

Thank you.

Well done, Lorna,

for following through
with this Lukic dental I.D.

What does she want those for?

Don't know.

Here.

We met him off the plane.

He was happy to see us.
Grateful.

We were giving him
lift to London.

He was on his way
to his new job, a new life.

Jankovic told me
he was a traitor.

And of course...

I believed him.

I'll need to tell them first.

Tennison isn't just going ahead?

Jesus Christ!

When will I know where you are?
Have to tell them something.

You'll know when you get told.
You do nothing, you say nothing.

Children don't work like that.

They won't accept
you've just disappeared.

Mrs. Lukic, as soon
as your husband is settled,

you'll have an opportunity
to join him.

But for now you won't
even tell me which country.

That's them.

Hello again.

Oh, God.

Why don't you just take care
of these people?

Dragan Jankovic, I am
arresting you for the murder

of the real Milan Lukic.

The murder occurred
eight years ago.

There was a witness
to the murder.

The body was exhumed
this morning

and is now being formally
identified using dental records.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defense
if you don't mention...

Put that knife down, sir,
please.

- No! Milan, no!
- Let her go. Let her go.

Come on, sir.
Put her down, please, sir.

- Put the knife down, please.
- Put her down, sir.

Put her down.

Hold it, lads.
Hold it.

Put her down, please, sir.
Put her down.

Put the knife down.
Put it down.

Come on.
Look around.

Put the knife down, please, sir.

You don't have to say anything.

However,
it may harm your defense

if you don't mention
when questioned

something you later rely on
in court.

Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.

And you, madam...
Who might you be?

Don't ask.

Why couldn't you leave us alone?
