Touching Evil (1997–1999): Season 2, Episode 4 - War Relief: Part 2 - full transcript
Jim Keller goes on the run but when the team speak to his wife Ann,it transpires that he was so haunted by his experiences in Bosnia that he wanted to forget them and in his own perverted way is doing the same for the colleagues he knew there whom he is now killing and ritually 'burying'. They eventually trace him to a deserted warehouse where he has brought his next victim and DS rivers is particularly heroic in attempting to safely apprehend him.
[knocking]
ANN KELLER: Jim, are
you all right in there?
What's happening?
- When was he last seen?
- We're checking.
I can't believe it.
How can they just lose him?
Double the cover
on Mackie's flat.
And when the two idiots that
lost Keller get back, make sure
they see me before anyone
else, right, me first.
Now, I want anyone
who could be a target
protected from this freak.
What?
Tea?
Hm.
I'm sorry I've
not been in touch.
It doesn't matter.
You're here now.
It's just there were things
I had to do, important things.
I had my reasons.
Whatever the reasons, I
can wait as long as it takes.
You just tell me in
your own good time.
The main thing is you're home.
Hm.
I thought I'd
lost you forever.
I'll do that.
Oh.
Oh, run it under the
cold water quickly.
I just heard.
What's happening?
Well, it looks like--
- We've lost him.
- Mark!
He's out there, and
we're just going to--
Oh, shut up, Mark.
So what do you
suggest we do about it?
We're going to sit down
and talk about it while he
decides who to kill next.
Do what you like, Mark.
Dave, Dave.
Look, post-traumatic
stress disorder is real,
and it's happening to Keller.
He is not a freak, Mark.
You know, whatever's going
through his mind right now,
well, I've been there.
What's happening to him
can happen to anyone here.
But if you can't get
your head around that,
then there's nothing
left for me to say.
And that's it.
Yeah, is it not
enough for you?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Don't worry.
I don't know what got into me.
Forget it, love,
it's not important.
It's just that
I've been trying
to work things out in my head.
And I think I've got sorted now.
Good, I'm glad.
I didn't mean to
make all this mess.
Oh, it's only water.
It's not working.
We'll get another one.
I've broken it.
It's not important.
No?
What about this?
Is this important?
Jim!
Is this important?
Stop it.
Ah.
[screams]
JIM KELLER: Is that important?
[glass breaking]
Trauma isn't something
that happens to other people.
It's a very personal thing.
One minute everything is normal.
The next, you're a patient.
I mean, when I was
hit by a bullet,
you know, it's something
you never forget.
Every day for two
years, all I kept seeing
was a flash of a gun then
blood, everyday, blood,
you know, to the point
where I wanted to die.
But with Keller,
it's worse, something
we can't even imagine.
And he can't talk
to anyone about it.
See, I-- I just got angry.
You get angry with
everyone, especially Carrie.
She just got in the
way of everything.
And I never touched Carrie.
But there's this
rage inside, and it
just gets bigger and bigger.
Keller's not angry
with everyone.
He hates everyone.
And there's no
one there for him.
So where the hell is he?
Oh, he's somewhere
safe, somewhere familiar.
He won't have gone far.
Shit.
[music playing]
[moaning]
AMBULANCE WORKER 1:
Call the hospitals.
AMBULANCE WORKER 2: Yes.
All right, lift on my
count, one, two, three.
How is she?
AMBULANCE WORKER 2: She's
badly hurt, severe lacerations.
She's lost a lot of blood.
Door to door--
I want every house, every car,
every shed, garage, dustbin.
Do you understand?
Creegan, in here.
It was loose.
I've checked, but I
can't find anything.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
Where?
Um, what time?
OK.
You're early.
What about you?
- You up to speed?
- Yeah.
Good.
I, uh, spoke to Marion
about Ann Keller.
The parcel tape
they used on her,
they used that on
prisoners in Bosnia.
So he's recreating
it all again,
like fighting the trauma.
Exactly.
And what do you think was
hidden in that fireplace?
Something special to him, a
[inaudible] of Mackie maybe.
Why'd he want to
take that with him?
And where is he now?
And where is he going next?
And what is going
on in his head?
Hey!
- Yep.
- Cheers.
Yep.
[music playing]
What do you make
of the view, Ray?
What do you think is
going on in Jim's head?
We're ready.
Creegan.
I was nearly like this.
No, you weren't, not nearly.
Yes, I was.
I'm sorry, Jackie.
But you're the only one I
can talk to about it all.
He was my best friend,
and I loved him.
I did do the right
thing, didn't I?
Oh, you've got to
take things easy, Jim.
I think I'm going off my head.
I beat my own wife
up, for Christ's sake.
What?
I know.
And she's got nothing
to do with it.
At least the others,
they all understood.
They wanted me to do it.
They were in so much pain.
- You understand, don't you?
- No.
You still see it.
We both do.
But the others were pretending
it wasn't there anymore.
So that just made the
pain worse for them.
I'm not listening to this.
Yes, Jackie, at last.
Just-- just--
You're just like
the rest of them.
You're all the same.
You don't care.
Oh, let go of me, Jim!
[screams]
It was what they wanted.
You know how you look
into Mackie's eyes,
and there's nothing there?
No pain whatsoever--
Keller's taken it all.
Dave, what is it?
It's just seeing Mackie.
It keeps going back.
That's what Carrie
must have seen.
I thought you were over that.
Well, I am.
Carrie isn't.
Oh, she's got the kids, you
know, another one on the way.
And Barry, he's a good man,
someone who won't let her down.
What are you talking about?
I feel like I'm stopping
her from being happy, Susan.
It's like I poisoned
her, you know?
I took her down with me, and
now, she can get back up.
But the kids, I mean,
I don't know whether--
I don't know whether I'm
going to lose them or not.
Maybe it's nothing
to do with you.
- And maybe ...
- Maybe we should get going.
[phone ringing]
Yeah, Taylor.
Hang on.
Jackie Parker's been found dead.
[radio chatter]
You're sure it was Keller?
The old lady's
identified Keller.
She said it was a
frenzied attack.
So it's escalated.
No compassion
left, just pure rage.
Apparently, Keller
was shouting at her,
trying to explain something.
Why, he's got no one left
to talk to now, does he?
Mackie.
[horns blaring]
SUSAN TAYLOR: What's happening?
[shouting]
It's OK.
You're OK.
[horns blaring]
[shouting]
MARK RIVERS: Have you
seen Raymond Mackie?
Where's Mackie?
HOSPITAL WORKER: Everyone out!
[music playing]
Keller!
Oh, he could be anywhere.
We've checked the tapes.
Keller!
All right, what about here?
We've got the table.
Put it over here.
And put a TV on it,
what do you think?
We need to get some
sleeping bags or something
before we freeze to death.
Not to worry, we'll work it out.
Great stuff.
You and me, eh, Ray,
just like the old days.
Better already.
It's still not
entirely clear, but I
know you needed a report early.
So what do you got?
Well, the wounds are
inflicted so rapidly
on top of each other, it's
hard to say in which order
it happened.
But I'd say the arms and
legs were broken first,
also the fingers.
However, it was the length
of time she was held
under water that killed her.
She was probably unconscious
in the first 30 seconds.
Whoever did this
battered an unconscious
woman for nearly 10 minutes.
[chattering]
Excuse me, have you got
a copy of "War Games?"
Peppermints, please.
That's right.
Where will I find the
magazine "War Games?"
You do stock it, don't you?
Don't know.
It's a military magazine.
About the army, right?
Yeah.
Never heard of it.
"War Games," it
comes out every month.
Listen, mate, the war's
been over since 1945.
Why don't you take up
knitting or something?
JIM KELLER: You're not
going to believe this.
Listen.
"One witness said
Ms. Parker was trying
to reason with her attacker."
Bullshit.
I was the one trying
to reason with her.
"The attack was apparently
without motive."
God, Ray, she wouldn't
bloody listen to me.
"The innocent victim--" what?
It was her own fault. Just
like Ann, she was the same.
I can't believe
I'm reading this.
It's all about me.
But they haven't got a clue
what they're talking about.
They're just making it
up as they go along.
"Police say people out
alone should be vigilant."
What do they think
I'm going to do?
Yeah, you're the bastard
who started all this.
It's all your bloody
fault, not mine.
[beeping]
JIM KELLER (ON
ANSWERING MACHINE):
You know it didn't
have to happen.
She cared about me.
If you'd done things properly,
it would have been fine.
But you poisoned her against me.
It's all your fault,
everything that happened
and everything that's
going to happen.
How does that feel, Rivers?
It's going to be all right
here, Ray, just you and me.
I'll do some shopping,
get some food.
Maybe we could have a barbecue.
I'm the man on the
spit, remember?
That woman soaked in
petrol, you shouldn't
have blown her away like that.
You were my hero,
Ray, and heroes
don't do things like that.
I've killed more people, right?
I don't know why.
Perhaps I didn't want them
to keep seeing you do that.
Like when you wanted me to
kill you, I didn't understand.
Oh, god, why have you
made me do these things?
Don't blame me for it.
I know that deep down you
didn't really want me to do it,
but I did.
Oh, Ray, I'm sorry.
Please say you'll forgive me.
I can't go on unless
you forgive me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you're right, Ray,
I knew I'd done the right thing
and all the others too.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I think you'll find
that interesting.
Yeah?
We did further analyses, this
time reexamining the sheets.
Now, there's nothing
on Joe Glenn,
but on the sheet that
wrapped Eddie Walker,
there are traces of chlorine.
Chlorine?
Yeah, and more than
you'd find in tap water.
You're looking for
somewhere with a higher
concentration of chlorine,
somewhere like a chemical
works or water plant.
No, it's simpler than that.
OK, if the sheets are
contaminated with chlorine,
then there's a good
chance that he's washing
the bodies in the same place.
Now, I've checked every
swimming pool, local baths, and
sports center within the area.
There are five swimming pools
at a reasonable distance from
where Keller left Eddie's body.
Good.
All being used?
No, one's empty.
Hasn't been used for 10 years.
[whooshing]
[music playing]
[sirens in distance]
[sirens]
Where's Keller?
Is he OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're safe now, Ray.
Where the bloody
hell's Keller?
Give him back to me.
He's mine.
He needs me.
He told me.
JIM KELLER (ON
ANSWERING MACHINE):
You don't care about him.
Nobody cares.
But he's mine.
How could you do this?
I'll make you pay for this.
And that's it.
Got it tracked?
No--
He [inaudible].
It's all right, Mark.
How is this all right?
[chattering]
Cigarettes.
CLERK: What sort?
What's it matter?
Careful, soldier, you
can damage your health.
So when he rings,
don't interrupt.
Just let him talk, and when you
can, tell him you understand.
Bullshit him.
Right.
You tell him
you want to listen
to what he's going to say.
You tell him it's not his fault.
Give him the
excuse he's after.
Exactly.
You just remember he's lost
the only people he can talk to.
He is desperate to open up.
[knocking]
This just got
delivered by the florist.
What's happening?
[muffled shouting]
Ah, what are you doing?
[muffled shouting]
Read it.
J-- J-- ah.
My grave-- only
I'm not dead, am I?
Help.
Give me that.
[gunshot]
[phone ringing]
Rivers.
JIM KELLER (ON
PHONE): How could you?
You're in pain, Jim.
We need to talk.
JIM KELLER (ON PHONE):
I don't believe you.
How can I trust any of you now?
Why-- why don't you tell
me where you are, Jim?
You can make it through this.
She didn't care.
She buried me alive.
Can you believe that?
Can we meet up somewhere,
Jim, uh, just-- just you and me?
You don't care.
MARK RIVERS (ON
PHONE): I do, Jim.
Then why did you do it, Mark?
Didn't you care
enough about him?
MARK RIVERS (ON PHONE):
I don't understand.
[phone clicks]
Shit.
What did he say?
She didn't care.
There was something else.
She buried me alive.
[radio chatter]
[phone ringing]
Jason Rhodes, his father got
him a job in the newsagents
just before he left
school last summer.
Did anyone see
him with Keller?
The friend he worked with
said Keller was in the shop
twice this week.
Apparently, Jason had
been winding him up.
- Jason was a revenge killing.
- It looks like.
Keller had been
waiting for him.
He knew what he wanted.
What about the swimming pool?
We've got it covered.
He won't go back there.
He's got a gun.
What do we know about it?
Nothing, yet.
COMMANDER ENWRIGHT:
What are we doing?
The forensics are
checking the bullets.
It's the first time he's
killed a complete stranger.
He doesn't care anymore.
He'll do anything--
I know he will--
absolutely anything.
[music playing]
I'll go and put the kettle on.
[beep]
JIM KELLER (ON
ANSWERING MACHINE):
I only put him in
that grave because I
thought they would take notice.
I thought-- I thought they'd
care because it was him.
But it didn't make
any difference.
Nothing's changed.
And you're just like
the rest of them.
[beep]
I've been told to give
you this note for DC Rivers.
[phone ringing]
Creegan.
Yes?
What's happened?
Where?
I see.
Thanks.
No, really, thank you.
What happened?
Dave.
Carrie's had her baby.
It's a little girl.
That's brilliant.
How is she?
Uh, fine, doing well.
So what does that make me?
You're, um, a stepfather.
No.
No.
You're her ex step
father-in-law once removed.
Oh, actually, you're,
uh, a nothing-in-law.
Thank you, Mark.
Yeah, once removed.
[phone ringing]
Rivers.
I'll pop down.
Cheers.
Dave?
Don't.
He'll be fine.
I was going to ask how
much the baby weighed.
Didn't ask.
I didn't even ask for a name.
That's the job, Dave.
Yeah, got to work on that one.
MARK RIVERS: Look at this,
hand delivered by some kid.
It's nonsense, gibberish.
Well, it makes sense.
What?
When he sends a note
instead of calling us,
it's because he doesn't
want us to answer back.
Let me see it again.
Well, at least he's writing.
So what do we do now?
Well, if he won't contact
us, we'll have to contact him.
A press conference, you
must be bloody joking.
Chris, give him a chance.
DAVE CREEGAN: We understand
it's asking a lot, Mr. Rhodes.
You're damn
bloody right it is.
We wouldn't do it if we
didn't think it would help
catch the man who killed Jason.
Do you know who did it?
They haven't
got a bloody clue.
That's why they want us
to do their job for them.
Shut up, Chris.
Bloody useless.
What we need to
do, Mr. Rhodes,
is to make sure what happened
to Jason doesn't happen again.
What good's that to us?
We'll do it.
What?
What are you talking about?
Shut up, Chris, I said we'd do
it, if you're sure it'll help.
[garbled voices]
[garbled voices]
You don't know what
you're talking about.
I'm the only one who knows
what's going on here.
So piss off!
Do you want me to handle this?
Don't tempt me.
I hate these things.
So what's the plan?
I'll say a few words.
Tell everyone why
they're here, and just
hand it over to Mrs. Rhodes.
Do you think she'll be OK?
Oh, she will be fine.
They both will.
What?
Say we understand him?
How the hell can we do that?
- Oh, calm down, Chris.
- Calm down.
That's as good as
saying we forgive him.
Nobody's expecting
us to forgive this man
for what he's done, Mr. Rhodes.
But if we can plant a seed that
makes him feel he's got hope.
Oh, I know.
I know the better our
chances of catching him.
[chatter]
If I could have
everybody's attention please,
I'm assuming you've all been
informed by the press officer
the reason why I've
asked you here today.
This press corps is
being broadcast live
by every domestic news
program in the hope
that we can bring to an end
the series of recent murders.
The victim's mother, Mrs.
Rhodes, will read a statement,
and afterwards, I will be
available for questions
and answers.
Mrs. Rhodes would like to
read her statement now.
Just take your
time, Mrs. Rhodes.
Our son, Jason, was
a typical teenage boy,
always full of mischief.
We want the man who did this
to know we wish him no harm.
And although what
you did was wrong,
I don't believe
you're a bad person.
You must be feeling
terribly guilty and very sad
when you think
about what happened.
That's why I'm sure you don't
want this to ever happen again.
I want you to know that
we bear you no malice.
I can't do this no more.
It's all lies.
I don't care what you
need, you piece of scum.
I want you to know that rotting
out would be too good for you.
You sick bastard.
Please, stop.
[shouting]
[commotion]
[shouting on tv]
Empty buildings.
No, too vague, Mark.
We can't just--
We'll go to the
factories then.
- It's worth a try surely.
- Come on.
Think of the scale of that.
We've got to do something.
You've read all the reports,
checked all the files?
Yes.
Yeah, I've gone over
it all 100 times.
There's nothing
more we can do.
We wait.
[music playing]
No.
Jim.
[phone ringing]
Creegan.
I want Rivers.
Well, Mark's not
here right now, Jim.
Can I help?
He shouldn't have done it.
I can help you, Jim.
Believe me.
I know what you're
going through.
It's too late.
Now I'm going to kill them all.
No.
We've got forensics
on the bullet.
We have?
[inaudible] assault rifle.
Shit.
Those things fire 30
bullets like [snap]..
- He's going to do it again.
- [inaudible]
I'm going to kill them all.
That's what he said.
Kill them all.
Who's he talking about?
A lot of people.
So what are we looking
at, a football crowd,
something like that?
No, no, remember,
he's just seen
a press conference from hell.
So this is personal,
special to him.
Shit.
Jason's parents.
There's a funeral.
[music playing]
I am the resurrection and
the life, sayeth the Lord.
He that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall
he live.
And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me
shall never die.
[sirens]
I said we need backup
and plenty of it.
[music playing]
What's he playing at?
Now I've lost him.
Where the hell has Mark got to?
Oh, give me a break.
Come in, Rivers.
Rivers, come in.
To himself, our dear
brother, dear departed.
We therefore commit
his body to the ground.
Earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust,
in true and final
hope of resurrection
to eternal life through our
Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
[music playing]
Oh, no.
[screaming]
Get down!
Get down!
[screaming]
Put it down, Jim.
Put the gun down.
It's all over, Jim.
Put the gun down.
I know you don't
want to do this, Jim.
This isn't your battle.
These people are
not your enemies.
But we can talk about
it, just you and me.
But you're going to have to
put the gun down first, OK?
OK?
OK.
[gasping]
[sirens]
Oh, no, Mark.
[music playing]
Two minutes, two
bloody minutes.
Wait.
Hi.
Mark, listen, they
all survived, OK?
Well?
I don't know.
Oh, shit.
Was it me?
Did I push him to this?
No, he'd have done
it any way, Susan.
He's like me.
We're always trying
to prove ourselves.
He'll pull through.
If he does, it
could finish him.
No, it won't.
[theme music]
ANN KELLER: Jim, are
you all right in there?
What's happening?
- When was he last seen?
- We're checking.
I can't believe it.
How can they just lose him?
Double the cover
on Mackie's flat.
And when the two idiots that
lost Keller get back, make sure
they see me before anyone
else, right, me first.
Now, I want anyone
who could be a target
protected from this freak.
What?
Tea?
Hm.
I'm sorry I've
not been in touch.
It doesn't matter.
You're here now.
It's just there were things
I had to do, important things.
I had my reasons.
Whatever the reasons, I
can wait as long as it takes.
You just tell me in
your own good time.
The main thing is you're home.
Hm.
I thought I'd
lost you forever.
I'll do that.
Oh.
Oh, run it under the
cold water quickly.
I just heard.
What's happening?
Well, it looks like--
- We've lost him.
- Mark!
He's out there, and
we're just going to--
Oh, shut up, Mark.
So what do you
suggest we do about it?
We're going to sit down
and talk about it while he
decides who to kill next.
Do what you like, Mark.
Dave, Dave.
Look, post-traumatic
stress disorder is real,
and it's happening to Keller.
He is not a freak, Mark.
You know, whatever's going
through his mind right now,
well, I've been there.
What's happening to him
can happen to anyone here.
But if you can't get
your head around that,
then there's nothing
left for me to say.
And that's it.
Yeah, is it not
enough for you?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
Don't worry.
I don't know what got into me.
Forget it, love,
it's not important.
It's just that
I've been trying
to work things out in my head.
And I think I've got sorted now.
Good, I'm glad.
I didn't mean to
make all this mess.
Oh, it's only water.
It's not working.
We'll get another one.
I've broken it.
It's not important.
No?
What about this?
Is this important?
Jim!
Is this important?
Stop it.
Ah.
[screams]
JIM KELLER: Is that important?
[glass breaking]
Trauma isn't something
that happens to other people.
It's a very personal thing.
One minute everything is normal.
The next, you're a patient.
I mean, when I was
hit by a bullet,
you know, it's something
you never forget.
Every day for two
years, all I kept seeing
was a flash of a gun then
blood, everyday, blood,
you know, to the point
where I wanted to die.
But with Keller,
it's worse, something
we can't even imagine.
And he can't talk
to anyone about it.
See, I-- I just got angry.
You get angry with
everyone, especially Carrie.
She just got in the
way of everything.
And I never touched Carrie.
But there's this
rage inside, and it
just gets bigger and bigger.
Keller's not angry
with everyone.
He hates everyone.
And there's no
one there for him.
So where the hell is he?
Oh, he's somewhere
safe, somewhere familiar.
He won't have gone far.
Shit.
[music playing]
[moaning]
AMBULANCE WORKER 1:
Call the hospitals.
AMBULANCE WORKER 2: Yes.
All right, lift on my
count, one, two, three.
How is she?
AMBULANCE WORKER 2: She's
badly hurt, severe lacerations.
She's lost a lot of blood.
Door to door--
I want every house, every car,
every shed, garage, dustbin.
Do you understand?
Creegan, in here.
It was loose.
I've checked, but I
can't find anything.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Are you all right?
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
Where?
Um, what time?
OK.
You're early.
What about you?
- You up to speed?
- Yeah.
Good.
I, uh, spoke to Marion
about Ann Keller.
The parcel tape
they used on her,
they used that on
prisoners in Bosnia.
So he's recreating
it all again,
like fighting the trauma.
Exactly.
And what do you think was
hidden in that fireplace?
Something special to him, a
[inaudible] of Mackie maybe.
Why'd he want to
take that with him?
And where is he now?
And where is he going next?
And what is going
on in his head?
Hey!
- Yep.
- Cheers.
Yep.
[music playing]
What do you make
of the view, Ray?
What do you think is
going on in Jim's head?
We're ready.
Creegan.
I was nearly like this.
No, you weren't, not nearly.
Yes, I was.
I'm sorry, Jackie.
But you're the only one I
can talk to about it all.
He was my best friend,
and I loved him.
I did do the right
thing, didn't I?
Oh, you've got to
take things easy, Jim.
I think I'm going off my head.
I beat my own wife
up, for Christ's sake.
What?
I know.
And she's got nothing
to do with it.
At least the others,
they all understood.
They wanted me to do it.
They were in so much pain.
- You understand, don't you?
- No.
You still see it.
We both do.
But the others were pretending
it wasn't there anymore.
So that just made the
pain worse for them.
I'm not listening to this.
Yes, Jackie, at last.
Just-- just--
You're just like
the rest of them.
You're all the same.
You don't care.
Oh, let go of me, Jim!
[screams]
It was what they wanted.
You know how you look
into Mackie's eyes,
and there's nothing there?
No pain whatsoever--
Keller's taken it all.
Dave, what is it?
It's just seeing Mackie.
It keeps going back.
That's what Carrie
must have seen.
I thought you were over that.
Well, I am.
Carrie isn't.
Oh, she's got the kids, you
know, another one on the way.
And Barry, he's a good man,
someone who won't let her down.
What are you talking about?
I feel like I'm stopping
her from being happy, Susan.
It's like I poisoned
her, you know?
I took her down with me, and
now, she can get back up.
But the kids, I mean,
I don't know whether--
I don't know whether I'm
going to lose them or not.
Maybe it's nothing
to do with you.
- And maybe ...
- Maybe we should get going.
[phone ringing]
Yeah, Taylor.
Hang on.
Jackie Parker's been found dead.
[radio chatter]
You're sure it was Keller?
The old lady's
identified Keller.
She said it was a
frenzied attack.
So it's escalated.
No compassion
left, just pure rage.
Apparently, Keller
was shouting at her,
trying to explain something.
Why, he's got no one left
to talk to now, does he?
Mackie.
[horns blaring]
SUSAN TAYLOR: What's happening?
[shouting]
It's OK.
You're OK.
[horns blaring]
[shouting]
MARK RIVERS: Have you
seen Raymond Mackie?
Where's Mackie?
HOSPITAL WORKER: Everyone out!
[music playing]
Keller!
Oh, he could be anywhere.
We've checked the tapes.
Keller!
All right, what about here?
We've got the table.
Put it over here.
And put a TV on it,
what do you think?
We need to get some
sleeping bags or something
before we freeze to death.
Not to worry, we'll work it out.
Great stuff.
You and me, eh, Ray,
just like the old days.
Better already.
It's still not
entirely clear, but I
know you needed a report early.
So what do you got?
Well, the wounds are
inflicted so rapidly
on top of each other, it's
hard to say in which order
it happened.
But I'd say the arms and
legs were broken first,
also the fingers.
However, it was the length
of time she was held
under water that killed her.
She was probably unconscious
in the first 30 seconds.
Whoever did this
battered an unconscious
woman for nearly 10 minutes.
[chattering]
Excuse me, have you got
a copy of "War Games?"
Peppermints, please.
That's right.
Where will I find the
magazine "War Games?"
You do stock it, don't you?
Don't know.
It's a military magazine.
About the army, right?
Yeah.
Never heard of it.
"War Games," it
comes out every month.
Listen, mate, the war's
been over since 1945.
Why don't you take up
knitting or something?
JIM KELLER: You're not
going to believe this.
Listen.
"One witness said
Ms. Parker was trying
to reason with her attacker."
Bullshit.
I was the one trying
to reason with her.
"The attack was apparently
without motive."
God, Ray, she wouldn't
bloody listen to me.
"The innocent victim--" what?
It was her own fault. Just
like Ann, she was the same.
I can't believe
I'm reading this.
It's all about me.
But they haven't got a clue
what they're talking about.
They're just making it
up as they go along.
"Police say people out
alone should be vigilant."
What do they think
I'm going to do?
Yeah, you're the bastard
who started all this.
It's all your bloody
fault, not mine.
[beeping]
JIM KELLER (ON
ANSWERING MACHINE):
You know it didn't
have to happen.
She cared about me.
If you'd done things properly,
it would have been fine.
But you poisoned her against me.
It's all your fault,
everything that happened
and everything that's
going to happen.
How does that feel, Rivers?
It's going to be all right
here, Ray, just you and me.
I'll do some shopping,
get some food.
Maybe we could have a barbecue.
I'm the man on the
spit, remember?
That woman soaked in
petrol, you shouldn't
have blown her away like that.
You were my hero,
Ray, and heroes
don't do things like that.
I've killed more people, right?
I don't know why.
Perhaps I didn't want them
to keep seeing you do that.
Like when you wanted me to
kill you, I didn't understand.
Oh, god, why have you
made me do these things?
Don't blame me for it.
I know that deep down you
didn't really want me to do it,
but I did.
Oh, Ray, I'm sorry.
Please say you'll forgive me.
I can't go on unless
you forgive me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you're right, Ray,
I knew I'd done the right thing
and all the others too.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I think you'll find
that interesting.
Yeah?
We did further analyses, this
time reexamining the sheets.
Now, there's nothing
on Joe Glenn,
but on the sheet that
wrapped Eddie Walker,
there are traces of chlorine.
Chlorine?
Yeah, and more than
you'd find in tap water.
You're looking for
somewhere with a higher
concentration of chlorine,
somewhere like a chemical
works or water plant.
No, it's simpler than that.
OK, if the sheets are
contaminated with chlorine,
then there's a good
chance that he's washing
the bodies in the same place.
Now, I've checked every
swimming pool, local baths, and
sports center within the area.
There are five swimming pools
at a reasonable distance from
where Keller left Eddie's body.
Good.
All being used?
No, one's empty.
Hasn't been used for 10 years.
[whooshing]
[music playing]
[sirens in distance]
[sirens]
Where's Keller?
Is he OK?
Yeah.
Yeah, you're safe now, Ray.
Where the bloody
hell's Keller?
Give him back to me.
He's mine.
He needs me.
He told me.
JIM KELLER (ON
ANSWERING MACHINE):
You don't care about him.
Nobody cares.
But he's mine.
How could you do this?
I'll make you pay for this.
And that's it.
Got it tracked?
No--
He [inaudible].
It's all right, Mark.
How is this all right?
[chattering]
Cigarettes.
CLERK: What sort?
What's it matter?
Careful, soldier, you
can damage your health.
So when he rings,
don't interrupt.
Just let him talk, and when you
can, tell him you understand.
Bullshit him.
Right.
You tell him
you want to listen
to what he's going to say.
You tell him it's not his fault.
Give him the
excuse he's after.
Exactly.
You just remember he's lost
the only people he can talk to.
He is desperate to open up.
[knocking]
This just got
delivered by the florist.
What's happening?
[muffled shouting]
Ah, what are you doing?
[muffled shouting]
Read it.
J-- J-- ah.
My grave-- only
I'm not dead, am I?
Help.
Give me that.
[gunshot]
[phone ringing]
Rivers.
JIM KELLER (ON
PHONE): How could you?
You're in pain, Jim.
We need to talk.
JIM KELLER (ON PHONE):
I don't believe you.
How can I trust any of you now?
Why-- why don't you tell
me where you are, Jim?
You can make it through this.
She didn't care.
She buried me alive.
Can you believe that?
Can we meet up somewhere,
Jim, uh, just-- just you and me?
You don't care.
MARK RIVERS (ON
PHONE): I do, Jim.
Then why did you do it, Mark?
Didn't you care
enough about him?
MARK RIVERS (ON PHONE):
I don't understand.
[phone clicks]
Shit.
What did he say?
She didn't care.
There was something else.
She buried me alive.
[radio chatter]
[phone ringing]
Jason Rhodes, his father got
him a job in the newsagents
just before he left
school last summer.
Did anyone see
him with Keller?
The friend he worked with
said Keller was in the shop
twice this week.
Apparently, Jason had
been winding him up.
- Jason was a revenge killing.
- It looks like.
Keller had been
waiting for him.
He knew what he wanted.
What about the swimming pool?
We've got it covered.
He won't go back there.
He's got a gun.
What do we know about it?
Nothing, yet.
COMMANDER ENWRIGHT:
What are we doing?
The forensics are
checking the bullets.
It's the first time he's
killed a complete stranger.
He doesn't care anymore.
He'll do anything--
I know he will--
absolutely anything.
[music playing]
I'll go and put the kettle on.
[beep]
JIM KELLER (ON
ANSWERING MACHINE):
I only put him in
that grave because I
thought they would take notice.
I thought-- I thought they'd
care because it was him.
But it didn't make
any difference.
Nothing's changed.
And you're just like
the rest of them.
[beep]
I've been told to give
you this note for DC Rivers.
[phone ringing]
Creegan.
Yes?
What's happened?
Where?
I see.
Thanks.
No, really, thank you.
What happened?
Dave.
Carrie's had her baby.
It's a little girl.
That's brilliant.
How is she?
Uh, fine, doing well.
So what does that make me?
You're, um, a stepfather.
No.
No.
You're her ex step
father-in-law once removed.
Oh, actually, you're,
uh, a nothing-in-law.
Thank you, Mark.
Yeah, once removed.
[phone ringing]
Rivers.
I'll pop down.
Cheers.
Dave?
Don't.
He'll be fine.
I was going to ask how
much the baby weighed.
Didn't ask.
I didn't even ask for a name.
That's the job, Dave.
Yeah, got to work on that one.
MARK RIVERS: Look at this,
hand delivered by some kid.
It's nonsense, gibberish.
Well, it makes sense.
What?
When he sends a note
instead of calling us,
it's because he doesn't
want us to answer back.
Let me see it again.
Well, at least he's writing.
So what do we do now?
Well, if he won't contact
us, we'll have to contact him.
A press conference, you
must be bloody joking.
Chris, give him a chance.
DAVE CREEGAN: We understand
it's asking a lot, Mr. Rhodes.
You're damn
bloody right it is.
We wouldn't do it if we
didn't think it would help
catch the man who killed Jason.
Do you know who did it?
They haven't
got a bloody clue.
That's why they want us
to do their job for them.
Shut up, Chris.
Bloody useless.
What we need to
do, Mr. Rhodes,
is to make sure what happened
to Jason doesn't happen again.
What good's that to us?
We'll do it.
What?
What are you talking about?
Shut up, Chris, I said we'd do
it, if you're sure it'll help.
[garbled voices]
[garbled voices]
You don't know what
you're talking about.
I'm the only one who knows
what's going on here.
So piss off!
Do you want me to handle this?
Don't tempt me.
I hate these things.
So what's the plan?
I'll say a few words.
Tell everyone why
they're here, and just
hand it over to Mrs. Rhodes.
Do you think she'll be OK?
Oh, she will be fine.
They both will.
What?
Say we understand him?
How the hell can we do that?
- Oh, calm down, Chris.
- Calm down.
That's as good as
saying we forgive him.
Nobody's expecting
us to forgive this man
for what he's done, Mr. Rhodes.
But if we can plant a seed that
makes him feel he's got hope.
Oh, I know.
I know the better our
chances of catching him.
[chatter]
If I could have
everybody's attention please,
I'm assuming you've all been
informed by the press officer
the reason why I've
asked you here today.
This press corps is
being broadcast live
by every domestic news
program in the hope
that we can bring to an end
the series of recent murders.
The victim's mother, Mrs.
Rhodes, will read a statement,
and afterwards, I will be
available for questions
and answers.
Mrs. Rhodes would like to
read her statement now.
Just take your
time, Mrs. Rhodes.
Our son, Jason, was
a typical teenage boy,
always full of mischief.
We want the man who did this
to know we wish him no harm.
And although what
you did was wrong,
I don't believe
you're a bad person.
You must be feeling
terribly guilty and very sad
when you think
about what happened.
That's why I'm sure you don't
want this to ever happen again.
I want you to know that
we bear you no malice.
I can't do this no more.
It's all lies.
I don't care what you
need, you piece of scum.
I want you to know that rotting
out would be too good for you.
You sick bastard.
Please, stop.
[shouting]
[commotion]
[shouting on tv]
Empty buildings.
No, too vague, Mark.
We can't just--
We'll go to the
factories then.
- It's worth a try surely.
- Come on.
Think of the scale of that.
We've got to do something.
You've read all the reports,
checked all the files?
Yes.
Yeah, I've gone over
it all 100 times.
There's nothing
more we can do.
We wait.
[music playing]
No.
Jim.
[phone ringing]
Creegan.
I want Rivers.
Well, Mark's not
here right now, Jim.
Can I help?
He shouldn't have done it.
I can help you, Jim.
Believe me.
I know what you're
going through.
It's too late.
Now I'm going to kill them all.
No.
We've got forensics
on the bullet.
We have?
[inaudible] assault rifle.
Shit.
Those things fire 30
bullets like [snap]..
- He's going to do it again.
- [inaudible]
I'm going to kill them all.
That's what he said.
Kill them all.
Who's he talking about?
A lot of people.
So what are we looking
at, a football crowd,
something like that?
No, no, remember,
he's just seen
a press conference from hell.
So this is personal,
special to him.
Shit.
Jason's parents.
There's a funeral.
[music playing]
I am the resurrection and
the life, sayeth the Lord.
He that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall
he live.
And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me
shall never die.
[sirens]
I said we need backup
and plenty of it.
[music playing]
What's he playing at?
Now I've lost him.
Where the hell has Mark got to?
Oh, give me a break.
Come in, Rivers.
Rivers, come in.
To himself, our dear
brother, dear departed.
We therefore commit
his body to the ground.
Earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust,
in true and final
hope of resurrection
to eternal life through our
Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
[music playing]
Oh, no.
[screaming]
Get down!
Get down!
[screaming]
Put it down, Jim.
Put the gun down.
It's all over, Jim.
Put the gun down.
I know you don't
want to do this, Jim.
This isn't your battle.
These people are
not your enemies.
But we can talk about
it, just you and me.
But you're going to have to
put the gun down first, OK?
OK?
OK.
[gasping]
[sirens]
Oh, no, Mark.
[music playing]
Two minutes, two
bloody minutes.
Wait.
Hi.
Mark, listen, they
all survived, OK?
Well?
I don't know.
Oh, shit.
Was it me?
Did I push him to this?
No, he'd have done
it any way, Susan.
He's like me.
We're always trying
to prove ourselves.
He'll pull through.
If he does, it
could finish him.
No, it won't.
[theme music]
