Rellik (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
When Gabriel publicly denounces the acid murderer during a press conference, the killer's sights turn towards him and the tension ratchets up as the hunter becomes the hunted.
What was on the laptop?
What were you trying to hide?
He had it recorded.
My sessions with Isaac. Bastard
had it all on his laptop.
It's probably just a simple theft,
but I'd rather be safe than sorry,
with all these other bodies turning up.
You can't be objective
about this any more -
you shouldn't be leading
this investigation.
If you take me off the case, our little
arrangement at the safe house
goes to Professional Standards.
Nothing can fix the
kind of man your father was.
Here's to you, Dad, rot in pieces.
Are you still sleeping with her?
Does it matter,
after you lied to me the way you did?
We all make mistakes.
She wanted to hurt
herself, because of me.
- Christine, tell me.
- I killed them.
Why?
Because I like it.
..been asleep for quite a while.
You're going to be groggy.
I'm not an invalid. I can walk.
- Please.
- I'm fine.
See?
Thanks.
Are you sure you want this?
Yeah.
Hi, Dad!
Hey.
Dad? You'll never guess what
I finally convinced Mum to get.
It's in the lounge.
It took a lot of arm twisting.
It's so ugly.
And we stocked up on box sets.
So we can binge until our eyes fall out.
Can you give us a moment, love?
Yeah. I'm glad you're home.
Me too.
It's going to take time.
For all of us.
But that's normal, the doctors said...
You're allowed to be angry.
It's unfair, what happened to you.
We all get what we deserve.
Eventually.
What's going on?
I heard what you said.
In the hospital.
Jesus, Gabriel...
..I wanted to tell you-I
tried to tell you.
Leave me alone.
Don't do this.
Please, I'm so sorry.
Please, Gabriel, I'm sorry.
DON'T! Don't you touch me.
NEVER touch me again!
I'm sorry.

Police!
Kerri?
Kerri?
Kerri?
- Nothing?
- Mm-mm.
Police! Coming upstairs.

half, there didn't seem any danger
"at first as Kline was in the
far end of the defence line...
"..securing the onward..."
You want her to stop?
What I want is an update on the case.
This is time to rest.
These next few months you
need to forget about work,
focus on getting better.
Lisa-please.
OK.
But only because we
could do with a break.
And only for 20 minutes.
No more.
He wants you. So we'll
just go grab a bite.
How is he?
Infuriating. He came this close
to... But still nothing's changed.
Are you married?
No.
Good. If I were you, I'd
try and keep it that way.
Where are we with CCTV?
We've harvested from six different sites
but none of them are
close enough to the scene.
I need to see the footage.
It might trigger something.
I can bring you a laptop. Seven
beautiful hours of the stuff.
You can knock yourself out.
Do you think I was attacked
because I was getting near the truth?
Don't flatter yourself, we're nowhere.
You were attacked because you
insulted him at a press conference.
You made it personal.
And did you find the
girl? Did you find Kerri?
She's not at any of her usual haunts.
We're talking to known associates.
- You have to find her.
- Yeah.
And don't involve Benton.
From now on, it's just you and me.
There's a bag in the locker.
Run the DNA against my profile.
I don't suppose there's
any point in asking you why.
What took you so long?!
Got anything to tell me, Kerri?
There's people following me.
There aren't people following you.
Where's my money?
I have some of it. I can give
you a couple straightaway...
I said ten.
Maybe I should go to the papers.
No! That would be a mistake, Kerri.
Would it?
People are dying, all right?
You have to tell me what you saw.
Right now.
What if I give you...?
There's someone here, I swear.
You've sent someone to do me?
I don't even know where you are.
You're police. You'd figure it out.
This isn't a fucking game show.
He burns their faces, he cuts off
their fingers, he obliterates...
Kerri? Kerri?
Kerri!
Talk to me! KERRI!
_
Thanks for the call.
She left about half an hour ago.
Went for breakfast across the
road. You've got 20 minutes max.
- And the daughter?
- Hasn't been in today.
He's still weak. Let's
not go in mob-handed, eh?
Give me a couple of minutes.
Hey! It's Tutankhamun
risen from the grave.
Don't worry, mate, I'll do the talking.
I just need to clarify something first.
Don't mention the safe house.
It has nothing to do
with what happened to you.
Completely separate, and
would be best for both of us.
Do you understand?
Nod once for yes, or twice
for a kick in the bollocks.
Do we have a deal?
Good!
It's...great to see you making
such good progress, mate.
Hello.
Look at me.
No.
Gabriel, look at me.
Hi.
You're OK.
Any news on the case? The attacker?
You're joking?
Or the latest victim? Larkwell Park?
No.
No fibres, forensics, prints or
sightings. Just like the others.
He's a ghost.
He'll make a mistake.
Do you remember anything?
I...
I remember your voice.
In the ambulance.
Yeah.
Anything before that?
There must be something.
Something that can help
us find whoever did this.
Kerri Upson.
Do you mean the sex worker we
brought in a couple of months ago
on the Joseph Kennedy case?
Are you saying you were with her?
Find her... Ask her what she saw.
Benton. Don't tell Benton.
I don't want to say it.
You're safe here. It's
just you and me now.
So... Tell me, Christine.
Christine.
I killed them.
And then I burned them.
Every single part.
So that no-one would
ever know who they are.
Just me.
I know who they are.
I know what happened to them.
Their friends and their family...
..they'll have to live with the
uncertainty the rest of their lives.
Why, Christine? Why did you kill them?
Because I like it.
Um... Can you be more...specific?
It, uh...
..it gets me off, you know?
Taking their lives, one by one.
Giving them a new...
..giving them a new...
For God's sake, Christine...
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I can't
take this seriously any more.
I can't do it!
Oh, don't look so sad.
You must've realised I
was having you on, Isaac.
Christine-you were concerned
that you'd revealed too much
and now you're trying to cover
up. But you don't have to,
- you can trust me.
- No.
I made it up because I knew you'd
get a kick out of hearing it.
What is it you called me?
A "narcissist with
psychopathic ideation".
So what did you expect?
The difference is, is
that you're no better.
You are obsessed with
this shit, aren't you?
You like looking at it.
I was trying to help you.
You were trying to get with me.
Beautiful day, isn't
it? Don't I get a kiss?
Piss off, Grandad.
I don't know how you expect to make
a living if you never go to work.
Next time I call, 30 or 40
times, you fucking contact me,
immediately.
I've had enough of all this.
I just want to get away.
You and I need to have a little
chat about the other night.
In case someone needs to talk to you.
I think I can help you, you know?
Because I saw what
happened to your mate,
when he was attacked in the park.
When he got his face burnt.
Don't take the piss.
I was there.
I got a good look at the face
of the person that did it to him.
Jesus, Kerri, this is for real.
I can give you a description.
Well, go on, then. Tell me.
I want 10k.
People are getting murdered!
Yeah, and I'm probably next.
Because they saw me too.
We were this close. Looked
each other bang in the eyes.
So... I need to get away.
Well, I could drag your scrawny arse
down the station and make you talk.
Oh, yeah, and then I'd talk.
About everything.
Is that what you want?
Didn't think so.
I just don't have ten
grand lying around...
Put it on expenses.
Nick it from evidence.
- I don't fucking care.
- That isn't how it works.
It works like this,
you get me ten grand,
and you phone me when
you've got it. End of.
This is the bit I was
telling you about -
the ascending sequence
in the mid section?
I love the way it ends
in a perfect cadence.
I can't do it for shit, but
I still love it all the same.
Thanks for making me play.
I know I did kick off
about it, but I'm glad now.
Please get better.
Mum will be back in a minute.
See you tomorrow, yeah?
_
Don't worry. You're in hospital.
I'm Dr Zagorakis.
Your wife and daughter are
here to take care of you.
Can you hear me?
Try to keep your eyes open for me.
Is he OK?
He's not coming round.
But there's nothing to worry about.
Why can't he open his eyes?
His vitals are fine.
You said he was going to wake up.
Nurse, please, some more oxygen, please.
Why can't he open his eyes?
I've been working with
DCI Markham. Listen to me,
I'm a doctor, I'm a
psychiatrist, Dr Isaac Taylor,
and I have been working with...
How is he? You must
be DI Elaine Shepard.
This is a secured area.
Was he conscious when he came in?
How did you know he was here?
I heard he saw his attacker.
Now, he's the first to survive.
I was helping him. I can help you.
You shouldn't be here, Mr Taylor.
I want to offer my expertise.
I was helping DCI Markham with the case.
I've done profiling for lots of forces.
My colleague was viciously attacked
and you're using that
to hustle for more work?
No, I'm doing this because
my partner, Jonas Borner,
was killed, possibly by the same person.
Look, you knew I was
working for DCI Markham...
Mr Taylor...
You're looking for someone
with a history of abuse...
Mr Taylor!
..but no familial ties. Now, murder...
Mr Taylor.
..it's an expression of
passion for this individual,
reflected in their choice of
hydrochloric acid rather than
a more efficient method of burning...
Mr Taylor. Mr Taylor,
we have this in hand.
Markham and I have
been through my files.
DCI Markham is in the
ICU, this is not the time.
Let me help you. I can
help. I want to help.
Could you show Mr Taylor
to the exit, please?
I want to help. Just... I
can help you, let me help you!
You don't need to... It's all right.
Come this way, please.
Yeah, you don't need to touch me.
Listen, all I want to
do-please, don't touch-all I want
to do is help, I just want to
find this person, that's all.
Gabriel, are you awake? Can you hear me?
Why won't you wake up?
You never make things easy, do you?
How did we get here?
We made some wrong turns,
but we didn't deserve this.
And we always loved each other.
We could have walked away...
..but we didn't.
Of course, you knew, didn't you?
You've known the whole time.
However bad things got with
us, you never blamed her.
You always treated Hannah as
your own daughter, even though...
I'll always love you for that.
Did you...?
Water.
Oh, my love! My love! Are you...?
Christ...call a doctor, he's awake.
_
Just keep your eyes closed!
Don't let the acid in. Keep them shut!
They're here now, OK? They're here now.
You just have to hold out a bit longer.
Male victim under acid attack,
all units to the Lavers Road estate.
OK, sir, I need you to remain
as calm as possible. OK?
I'm just going to give you
something for the pain...
OK? Calm as possible.
That's just a bandage, Gabriel.
Try not to move so much.
We're nearly there.
This is Gabriel Markham.
Assault with acid.
Burns to face, neck, upper
torso. GCS 15 throughout. BP 129.
OK, you can't come through.
You've got to stay here. Sorry.
I'll wait while you're in theatre.
I'll be right here.
Right, talk to me.
Well, we haven't got much to
go on but we've established
a basic scenario.
DCI Markham's car is parked 130m away...
we don't know why he was
there, or why he got out,
but we do know that he
was attacked over here.
We believe the assailant made an
exit through the north entrance
via Lavers Road.
That's it?
Sir.
Shit.
Where's the boss?
I dunno, is he not with you?
Kerri. Call me back as soon as you can.
Something happened last
night. We need to talk.
How's he doing?
They... They had to intubate
because they think he might
have swallowed some acid.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Look, we don't have to do this now.
But... But if there's anything
that you can tell me...
Let's take it from the beginning.
What were you doing there?
Gabriel called me.
Right.
Um...
Right, come on. What did you see?
I saw his car. He wasn't in it.
He wasn't on the street.
And then I heard him.
Screaming.
He was in the park.
It was dark.
But I could see the shapes...
Could you see the attacker?
I don't... I don't know. It was so dark.
He was dressed all in
black. I ran at him.
And as soon as I went for him, he fled.
That's very brave of you, DI Shepard.
He wasn't quick.
I could have caught up with him.
But then I heard Gabriel scream again.
I stopped to call the ambulance instead,
because I just thought
that would be better...
You don't have to explain.
Looking after your partner,
you did the right thing.
You saved his bloody life, Elaine.
You're a hero.
Why don't I feel like one, then?
You're no fun any more.
At least eat something.
You know what you're like
when your blood sugar...
Suit yourself.
You did your best.
You'll probably get a
medal for what you did.
I keep seeing his face.
He's alive, isn't he?
And anyway, he hasn't
exactly treated you well
so don't go wasting any tears on him.
But I love him.
You're too bright to let
that man take any more of you.
You need to cut yourself off
from him. Ask for a transfer.
Anything. Just get as far
away from him as you can.
You know what? I don't want to
hear what you think any more.
Screw you.
_
That sounds great!
It's been too long.
Have you seen my charger?
Er... Next to the TV.
No, I mean the one for my computer.
Top of the stairs. Next to the basket.
Thank you!
Any time from eight is good for us.
- Debbie and Sam are coming over.
- I'm not cooking.
Great. Gabriel says he'd love to cook.
Right, see you both Saturday.
Look forward to it.
I'll make it up to you.
How? I want details.
Well...
How about...?
Morning, fuckface.
Thank you!
Look after my handsome boy.
Do you mean me?
We've moved him because of his health.
He always gets what he wants.
How are you?
I'm your dad.
I care about you.
I just want to know how you are.
I'm fine.
You managed to move wing.
The cancer's getting worse.
They moved me so I can be
nearer to the medical unit.
You look tired. Are you
getting enough regular sleep?
Police work isn't exactly nine to five.
I always thought that
was an odd career choice.
Must grate on the old soul.
Seeing the things you see...
What are you doing?
I'm just checking to
see if you're all right.
I'm fine.
You haven't caught him yet, have you?
Any insights you can share?
Be good to hear from another
murderer what his take on
all this is.
What would I know? I'm
just a chemistry teacher.
A dying one, too.
Which reminds me - you
don't have to worry.
I'm not going to change my will.
If you leave your shit to me,
I'll burn anything you ever
so much as looked at.
What, even the Jaguar?
Come and see me again, darling.
No. This is the last time you see me.
That's not good enough.
I killed her, but you should
know, I really loved her.
So much.
I mean-18...
..18 stab wounds.
That qualifies as an act of passion.
Do us all a favour,
Henry. Hurry up and die.
Right. Looks like we're
all going on a night out.
Don't get too excited, although
it will involve overtime...
we've had a tip-off.
I want to report a...my husband...
Take your time, my love.
You know those murders...
I think it's him.
He works late nights,
not regular, but every time he
does... He'd kill me if he knew I...
You're being very brave.
Every time you find
a body... March 21st,
the 22nd, April 14th...
Does he have a name, love?
He's working late tonight.
Just a name. He'll never know.
Please stop him.
Is it genuine?
Well, the first date, March
21st, it's not public domain.
So, either our investigation has a
leak, or we take her at face value.
Any of you bastards
been leaking? No? Good.
And though the call has been anonymised,
triangulation puts her here.
Which is in the middle of
all previous drop zones.
The victims are always left
in parks in east London.
No CCTV, and close enough
to roads so no need to carry
the body in plain sight
for more than a minute.
On this basis, we've identified
40 possible drop sites.
I need 100 officers.
800 hours of overtime on a single night.
All on an anonymous tip-off?
I'm going to catch him
with a body in his arms.
And then you lot are all going to buy me
a drink for making you look good.
All right, now piss
off and do your jobs.
You ready?
I'll go with Sergeant Roberts.
Vehicles en route.
Northern 147 on foot.
Silver command received.
Silver en route, ETA two minutes.
It's bloody freezing out
here. I can't get ill again.
I've got a stag do coming up.
If I do and it's just because
of that man's ego, I'll...
Stop whining. Just suck it up.
He does your head in too, though, right?
He gets the job done.
Besides, jealousy does
not suit you, Mike.
Never been on one of these before.
We did them in training,
but...this is exciting.
You're very distracting,
aren't you, Jenny?
Hold on. Movement. South-west corner.
Is he carrying a body?
Shit. There's two of them.
Silver has a visual on two
suspects. Requesting backup.
God, I love this bit.
Where did they go?
Leave our neighbourhood alone! Get
your fucking scum off our streets!
We're police! We're fucking police!
- Come on!
- Backup stand down. False alarm.
I need an ambulance.
No arrests, but at least nobody died.
Whole thing was just a set-up,
right? He's just fucking with me!
The call was genuine. 100%.
Probably laughing at us right now.
Running around like a
bunch of idiots. Jesus!
Hey, you need some rest.
100 officers! Eight hours of overtime!
Look, we took a shot and we
missed. It's happened before.
All we've got to do is
we regroup and we move on.
No, Gabriel. This isn't just a misfire.
Right on our own doorstep!
You and 100 police, an army-
ooking the other way.
Another body right
beneath our fucking noses!
Is it true there's been another body?
At 5.30 this morning, we...
At 5.30 this morning, the body
of a white male in his 40s was
found at Larkwell Park.
That's a quarter of a mile
from this station, correct?
We are appealing for witnesses.
Anyone who was in the vicinity
or the surrounding area...
I know you're watching this.
You're watching me, aren't you?
You're weak.
You're weak and you're pathetic.
You're a limp-dicked bag of shit.
Come back to mine.
I'll cook something.
We don't need to talk.
I can eat at home.
Come back to mine.
I want to be with my family.
Would you like some more wine?
Dad?
Sorry. I drifted away.
I just asked if you
wanted some more wine.
Oh. I'm fine, thanks.
It's unfair to make me drink alone.
Well, I'll drink with you if Dad won't.
Nice try!
Hey, I got to get back to work.
Do you have to? Won't
it keep till morning?
I'll take you to that new
restaurant next weekend.
? I pulled into Nazareth, was
feelin' about half past dead ?
? I just need someplace
where I can lay my head ?
? "Hey, mister, can you tell me
where a man might find a bed?" ?
I'm off to bed.
Lightweight.
Hey, I was watching that.
It's him again.
Don't answer it.
- Hey.
- Hey. Do you want to meet?
What are we doing, Gabriel?
You know what this is.
I thought I did, but...
This is just who I am.
I won't change, Elaine.
You know that, don't you?
It's just sex?
It's just sex.
Come to the safe house.
I'll meet you there in half an hour.
? Take a load off, Fanny ?
? And you put the load right on me... ?
Oh, great!
You're not meant to be here.
Get dressed. Now.
Fuck!
Well, thanks for that!
What are you playing at?
You'll ruin this place for both of us.
And somehow you're here, when you
could be tucked in bed with Lisa.
You fucking idiot!
I'm looking out for you!
Bringing street girls back to
the safe house is career suicide.
Job. Pension. The lot.
Gone.
You've done worse, mate.
You have done much worse!
Go on, then. Settle up, Grandad.
I'm short. Can you cover for me, mate?
Oh, Jesus. Come on. Come on.
My money?
Here.
That's too much.
It's fine. Do you have
anywhere to stay tonight?
I'll be OK.
No, we'll find you somewhere
safe. My car's just over here.
I won't hurt you. I'm the police.
What, like him?
He's an arsehole.
I'll be fine on my own from here.
Well, you take care.
Please leave your
message after the tone.
Hey, it's me. Listen, don't
come to the safe house.
There's been a mess-up.
Meet me in the car park.
I'll be there in a second.
Get off!
Police! Police!
Gabriel, is that you?
Breathe, keep breathing, Gabriel.
I know, it's OK, sweetheart.
I need an ambulance.
_
What were you trying to hide?
He had it recorded.
My sessions with Isaac. Bastard
had it all on his laptop.
It's probably just a simple theft,
but I'd rather be safe than sorry,
with all these other bodies turning up.
You can't be objective
about this any more -
you shouldn't be leading
this investigation.
If you take me off the case, our little
arrangement at the safe house
goes to Professional Standards.
Nothing can fix the
kind of man your father was.
Here's to you, Dad, rot in pieces.
Are you still sleeping with her?
Does it matter,
after you lied to me the way you did?
We all make mistakes.
She wanted to hurt
herself, because of me.
- Christine, tell me.
- I killed them.
Why?
Because I like it.
..been asleep for quite a while.
You're going to be groggy.
I'm not an invalid. I can walk.
- Please.
- I'm fine.
See?
Thanks.
Are you sure you want this?
Yeah.
Hi, Dad!
Hey.
Dad? You'll never guess what
I finally convinced Mum to get.
It's in the lounge.
It took a lot of arm twisting.
It's so ugly.
And we stocked up on box sets.
So we can binge until our eyes fall out.
Can you give us a moment, love?
Yeah. I'm glad you're home.
Me too.
It's going to take time.
For all of us.
But that's normal, the doctors said...
You're allowed to be angry.
It's unfair, what happened to you.
We all get what we deserve.
Eventually.
What's going on?
I heard what you said.
In the hospital.
Jesus, Gabriel...
..I wanted to tell you-I
tried to tell you.
Leave me alone.
Don't do this.
Please, I'm so sorry.
Please, Gabriel, I'm sorry.
DON'T! Don't you touch me.
NEVER touch me again!
I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

From now on, it's just you and me.
There's a bag in the locker.
Run the DNA against my profile.
I don't suppose there's
any point in asking you why.
What took you so long?!
Got anything to tell me, Kerri?
There's people following me.
There aren't people following you.
Where's my money?
I have some of it. I can give
you a couple straightaway...
I said ten.
Maybe I should go to the papers.
No! That would be a mistake, Kerri.
Would it?
People are dying, all right?
You have to tell me what you saw.
Right now.
What if I give you...?
There's someone here, I swear.
You've sent someone to do me?
I don't even know where you are.
You're police. You'd figure it out.
This isn't a fucking game show.
He burns their faces, he cuts off
their fingers, he obliterates...
Kerri? Kerri?
Kerri!
Talk to me! KERRI!
_
Thanks for the call.
She left about half an hour ago.
Went for breakfast across the
road. You've got 20 minutes max.
- And the daughter?
- Hasn't been in today.
He's still weak. Let's
not go in mob-handed, eh?
Give me a couple of minutes.
Hey! It's Tutankhamun
risen from the grave.
Don't worry, mate, I'll do the talking.
I just need to clarify something first.
Don't mention the safe house.
It has nothing to do
with what happened to you.
Completely separate, and
would be best for both of us.
Do you understand?
Nod once for yes, or twice
for a kick in the bollocks.
Do we have a deal?
Good!
It's...great to see you making
such good progress, mate.
Hello.
Look at me.
No.
Gabriel, look at me.
Hi.
You're OK.
Any news on the case? The attacker?
You're joking?
Or the latest victim? Larkwell Park?
No.
No fibres, forensics, prints or
sightings. Just like the others.
He's a ghost.
He'll make a mistake.
Do you remember anything?
I...
I remember your voice.
In the ambulance.
Yeah.
Anything before that?
There must be something.
Something that can help
us find whoever did this.
Kerri Upson.
Do you mean the sex worker we
brought in a couple of months ago
on the Joseph Kennedy case?
Are you saying you were with her?
Find her... Ask her what she saw.
Benton. Don't tell Benton.
I don't want to say it.
You're safe here. It's
just you and me now.
So... Tell me, Christine.
Christine.
I killed them.
And then I burned them.
Every single part.
So that no-one would
ever know who they are.
Just me.
I know who they are.
I know what happened to them.
Their friends and their family...
..they'll have to live with the
uncertainty the rest of their lives.
Why, Christine? Why did you kill them?
Because I like it.
Um... Can you be more...specific?
It, uh...
..it gets me off, you know?
Taking their lives, one by one.
Giving them a new...
..giving them a new...
For God's sake, Christine...
I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I can't
take this seriously any more.
I can't do it!
Oh, don't look so sad.
You must've realised I
was having you on, Isaac.
Christine-you were concerned
that you'd revealed too much
and now you're trying to cover
up. But you don't have to,
- you can trust me.
- No.
I made it up because I knew you'd
get a kick out of hearing it.
What is it you called me?
A "narcissist with
psychopathic ideation".
So what did you expect?
The difference is, is
that you're no better.
You are obsessed with
this shit, aren't you?
You like looking at it.
I was trying to help you.
You were trying to get with me.
Beautiful day, isn't
it? Don't I get a kiss?
Piss off, Grandad.
I don't know how you expect to make
a living if you never go to work.
Next time I call, 30 or 40
times, you fucking contact me,
immediately.
I've had enough of all this.
I just want to get away.
You and I need to have a little
chat about the other night.
In case someone needs to talk to you.
I think I can help you, you know?
Because I saw what
happened to your mate,
when he was attacked in the park.
When he got his face burnt.
Don't take the piss.
I was there.
I got a good look at the face
of the person that did it to him.
Jesus, Kerri, this is for real.
I can give you a description.
Well, go on, then. Tell me.
I want 10k.
People are getting murdered!
Yeah, and I'm probably next.
Because they saw me too.
We were this close. Looked
each other bang in the eyes.
So... I need to get away.
Well, I could drag your scrawny arse
down the station and make you talk.
Oh, yeah, and then I'd talk.
About everything.
Is that what you want?
Didn't think so.
I just don't have ten
grand lying around...
Put it on expenses.
Nick it from evidence.
- I don't fucking care.
- That isn't how it works.
It works like this,
you get me ten grand,
and you phone me when
you've got it. End of.
This is the bit I was
telling you about -
the ascending sequence
in the mid section?
I love the way it ends
in a perfect cadence.
I can't do it for shit, but
I still love it all the same.
Thanks for making me play.
I know I did kick off
about it, but I'm glad now.
Please get better.
Mum will be back in a minute.
See you tomorrow, yeah?
_
Don't worry. You're in hospital.
I'm Dr Zagorakis.
Your wife and daughter are
here to take care of you.
Can you hear me?
Try to keep your eyes open for me.
Is he OK?
He's not coming round.
But there's nothing to worry about.
Why can't he open his eyes?
His vitals are fine.
You said he was going to wake up.
Nurse, please, some more oxygen, please.
Why can't he open his eyes?
I've been working with
DCI Markham. Listen to me,
I'm a doctor, I'm a
psychiatrist, Dr Isaac Taylor,
and I have been working with...
How is he? You must
be DI Elaine Shepard.
This is a secured area.
Was he conscious when he came in?
How did you know he was here?
I heard he saw his attacker.
Now, he's the first to survive.
I was helping him. I can help you.
You shouldn't be here, Mr Taylor.
I want to offer my expertise.
I was helping DCI Markham with the case.
I've done profiling for lots of forces.
My colleague was viciously attacked
and you're using that
to hustle for more work?
No, I'm doing this because
my partner, Jonas Borner,
was killed, possibly by the same person.
Look, you knew I was
working for DCI Markham...
Mr Taylor...
You're looking for someone
with a history of abuse...
Mr Taylor!
..but no familial ties. Now, murder...
Mr Taylor.
..it's an expression of
passion for this individual,
reflected in their choice of
hydrochloric acid rather than
a more efficient method of burning...
Mr Taylor. Mr Taylor,
we have this in hand.
Markham and I have
been through my files.
DCI Markham is in the
ICU, this is not the time.
Let me help you. I can
help. I want to help.
Could you show Mr Taylor
to the exit, please?
I want to help. Just... I
can help you, let me help you!
You don't need to... It's all right.
Come this way, please.
Yeah, you don't need to touch me.
Listen, all I want to
do-please, don't touch-all I want
to do is help, I just want to
find this person, that's all.
Gabriel, are you awake? Can you hear me?
Why won't you wake up?
You never make things easy, do you?
How did we get here?
We made some wrong turns,
but we didn't deserve this.
And we always loved each other.
We could have walked away...
..but we didn't.
Of course, you knew, didn't you?
You've known the whole time.
However bad things got with
us, you never blamed her.
You always treated Hannah as
your own daughter, even though...
I'll always love you for that.
Did you...?
Water.
Oh, my love! My love! Are you...?
Christ...call a doctor, he's awake.
_
Just keep your eyes closed!
Don't let the acid in. Keep them shut!
They're here now, OK? They're here now.
You just have to hold out a bit longer.
Male victim under acid attack,
all units to the Lavers Road estate.
OK, sir, I need you to remain
as calm as possible. OK?
I'm just going to give you
something for the pain...
OK? Calm as possible.
That's just a bandage, Gabriel.
Try not to move so much.
We're nearly there.
This is Gabriel Markham.
Assault with acid.
Burns to face, neck, upper
torso. GCS 15 throughout. BP 129.
OK, you can't come through.
You've got to stay here. Sorry.
I'll wait while you're in theatre.
I'll be right here.
Right, talk to me.
Well, we haven't got much to
go on but we've established
a basic scenario.
DCI Markham's car is parked 130m away...
we don't know why he was
there, or why he got out,
but we do know that he
was attacked over here.
We believe the assailant made an
exit through the north entrance
via Lavers Road.
That's it?
Sir.
Shit.
Where's the boss?
I dunno, is he not with you?
Kerri. Call me back as soon as you can.
Something happened last
night. We need to talk.
How's he doing?
They... They had to intubate
because they think he might
have swallowed some acid.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Look, we don't have to do this now.
But... But if there's anything
that you can tell me...
Let's take it from the beginning.
What were you doing there?
Gabriel called me.
Right.
Um...
Right, come on. What did you see?
I saw his car. He wasn't in it.
He wasn't on the street.
And then I heard him.
Screaming.
He was in the park.
It was dark.
But I could see the shapes...
Could you see the attacker?
I don't... I don't know. It was so dark.
He was dressed all in
black. I ran at him.
And as soon as I went for him, he fled.
That's very brave of you, DI Shepard.
He wasn't quick.
I could have caught up with him.
But then I heard Gabriel scream again.
I stopped to call the ambulance instead,
because I just thought
that would be better...
You don't have to explain.
Looking after your partner,
you did the right thing.
You saved his bloody life, Elaine.
You're a hero.
Why don't I feel like one, then?
You're no fun any more.
At least eat something.
You know what you're like
when your blood sugar...
Suit yourself.
You did your best.
You'll probably get a
medal for what you did.
I keep seeing his face.
He's alive, isn't he?
And anyway, he hasn't
exactly treated you well
so don't go wasting any tears on him.
But I love him.
You're too bright to let
that man take any more of you.
You need to cut yourself off
from him. Ask for a transfer.
Anything. Just get as far
away from him as you can.
You know what? I don't want to
hear what you think any more.
Screw you.
_
That sounds great!
It's been too long.
Have you seen my charger?
Er... Next to the TV.
No, I mean the one for my computer.
Top of the stairs. Next to the basket.
Thank you!
Any time from eight is good for us.
- Debbie and Sam are coming over.
- I'm not cooking.
Great. Gabriel says he'd love to cook.
Right, see you both Saturday.
Look forward to it.
I'll make it up to you.
How? I want details.
Well...
How about...?
Morning, fuckface.
Thank you!
Look after my handsome boy.
Do you mean me?
We've moved him because of his health.
He always gets what he wants.
How are you?
I'm your dad.
I care about you.
I just want to know how you are.
I'm fine.
You managed to move wing.
The cancer's getting worse.
They moved me so I can be
nearer to the medical unit.
You look tired. Are you
getting enough regular sleep?
Police work isn't exactly nine to five.
I always thought that
was an odd career choice.
Must grate on the old soul.
Seeing the things you see...
What are you doing?
I'm just checking to
see if you're all right.
I'm fine.
You haven't caught him yet, have you?
Any insights you can share?
Be good to hear from another
murderer what his take on
all this is.
What would I know? I'm
just a chemistry teacher.
A dying one, too.
Which reminds me - you
don't have to worry.
I'm not going to change my will.
If you leave your shit to me,
I'll burn anything you ever
so much as looked at.
What, even the Jaguar?
Come and see me again, darling.
No. This is the last time you see me.
That's not good enough.
I killed her, but you should
know, I really loved her.
So much.
I mean-18...
..18 stab wounds.
That qualifies as an act of passion.
Do us all a favour,
Henry. Hurry up and die.
Right. Looks like we're
all going on a night out.
Don't get too excited, although
it will involve overtime...
we've had a tip-off.
I want to report a...my husband...
Take your time, my love.
You know those murders...
I think it's him.
He works late nights,
not regular, but every time he
does... He'd kill me if he knew I...
You're being very brave.
Every time you find
a body... March 21st,
the 22nd, April 14th...
Does he have a name, love?
He's working late tonight.
Just a name. He'll never know.
Please stop him.
Is it genuine?
Well, the first date, March
21st, it's not public domain.
So, either our investigation has a
leak, or we take her at face value.
Any of you bastards
been leaking? No? Good.
And though the call has been anonymised,
triangulation puts her here.
Which is in the middle of
all previous drop zones.
The victims are always left
in parks in east London.
No CCTV, and close enough
to roads so no need to carry
the body in plain sight
for more than a minute.
On this basis, we've identified
40 possible drop sites.
I need 100 officers.
800 hours of overtime on a single night.
All on an anonymous tip-off?
I'm going to catch him
with a body in his arms.
And then you lot are all going to buy me
a drink for making you look good.
All right, now piss
off and do your jobs.
You ready?
I'll go with Sergeant Roberts.
Vehicles en route.
Northern 147 on foot.
Silver command received.
Silver en route, ETA two minutes.
It's bloody freezing out
here. I can't get ill again.
I've got a stag do coming up.
If I do and it's just because
of that man's ego, I'll...
Stop whining. Just suck it up.
He does your head in too, though, right?
He gets the job done.
Besides, jealousy does
not suit you, Mike.
Never been on one of these before.
We did them in training,
but...this is exciting.
You're very distracting,
aren't you, Jenny?
Hold on. Movement. South-west corner.
Is he carrying a body?
Shit. There's two of them.
Silver has a visual on two
suspects. Requesting backup.
God, I love this bit.
Where did they go?
Leave our neighbourhood alone! Get
your fucking scum off our streets!
We're police! We're fucking police!
- Come on!
- Backup stand down. False alarm.
I need an ambulance.
No arrests, but at least nobody died.
Whole thing was just a set-up,
right? He's just fucking with me!
The call was genuine. 100%.
Probably laughing at us right now.
Running around like a
bunch of idiots. Jesus!
Hey, you need some rest.
100 officers! Eight hours of overtime!
Look, we took a shot and we
missed. It's happened before.
All we've got to do is
we regroup and we move on.
No, Gabriel. This isn't just a misfire.
Right on our own doorstep!
You and 100 police, an army-
ooking the other way.
Another body right
beneath our fucking noses!
Is it true there's been another body?
At 5.30 this morning, we...
At 5.30 this morning, the body
of a white male in his 40s was
found at Larkwell Park.
That's a quarter of a mile
from this station, correct?
We are appealing for witnesses.
Anyone who was in the vicinity
or the surrounding area...
I know you're watching this.
You're watching me, aren't you?
You're weak.
You're weak and you're pathetic.
You're a limp-dicked bag of shit.
Come back to mine.
I'll cook something.
We don't need to talk.
I can eat at home.
Come back to mine.
I want to be with my family.
Would you like some more wine?
Dad?
Sorry. I drifted away.
I just asked if you
wanted some more wine.
Oh. I'm fine, thanks.
It's unfair to make me drink alone.
Well, I'll drink with you if Dad won't.
Nice try!
Hey, I got to get back to work.
Do you have to? Won't
it keep till morning?
I'll take you to that new
restaurant next weekend.
? I pulled into Nazareth, was
feelin' about half past dead ?
? I just need someplace
where I can lay my head ?
? "Hey, mister, can you tell me
where a man might find a bed?" ?
I'm off to bed.
Lightweight.
Hey, I was watching that.
It's him again.
Don't answer it.
- Hey.
- Hey. Do you want to meet?
What are we doing, Gabriel?
You know what this is.
I thought I did, but...
This is just who I am.
I won't change, Elaine.
You know that, don't you?
It's just sex?
It's just sex.
Come to the safe house.
I'll meet you there in half an hour.
? Take a load off, Fanny ?
? And you put the load right on me... ?
Oh, great!
You're not meant to be here.
Get dressed. Now.
Fuck!
Well, thanks for that!
What are you playing at?
You'll ruin this place for both of us.
And somehow you're here, when you
could be tucked in bed with Lisa.
You fucking idiot!
I'm looking out for you!
Bringing street girls back to
the safe house is career suicide.
Job. Pension. The lot.
Gone.
You've done worse, mate.
You have done much worse!
Go on, then. Settle up, Grandad.
I'm short. Can you cover for me, mate?
Oh, Jesus. Come on. Come on.
My money?
Here.
That's too much.
It's fine. Do you have
anywhere to stay tonight?
I'll be OK.
No, we'll find you somewhere
safe. My car's just over here.
I won't hurt you. I'm the police.
What, like him?
He's an arsehole.
I'll be fine on my own from here.
Well, you take care.
Please leave your
message after the tone.
Hey, it's me. Listen, don't
come to the safe house.
There's been a mess-up.
Meet me in the car park.
I'll be there in a second.
Get off!
Police! Police!
Gabriel, is that you?
Breathe, keep breathing, Gabriel.
I know, it's OK, sweetheart.
I need an ambulance.
