Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:49,675 --> 00:01:53,635
It's weird. A guy books into a hotel
with the best restaurant in London...
2
00:01:53,635 --> 00:01:55,695
and then goes on a hunger strike.
3
00:01:58,315 --> 00:02:00,335
SIREN
4
00:02:06,355 --> 00:02:08,735
Hello. Michael Leonard, Sudan desk.
5
00:02:08,735 --> 00:02:11,755
This is Sir Anthony Lane-Kelly,
Permanent Foreign Secretary.
6
00:02:11,755 --> 00:02:14,355
Sir... Sir Anthony.
7
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:17,615
Er, Sir Anthony.
8
00:02:17,615 --> 00:02:20,435
I understand that you
requested the Cold Case Unit?
9
00:02:20,435 --> 00:02:22,615
I heard you were good
with old bones.
10
00:02:28,355 --> 00:02:33,635
He's on a hunger strike and we're
here to indulge him. We're here to
get him off British soil.
11
00:02:33,635 --> 00:02:37,795
If he dies here, we're the bad guys
and he's a martyr.
12
00:02:37,795 --> 00:02:40,475
Just find the damn skull.
13
00:02:40,475 --> 00:02:45,135
With respect, Sir Anthony,
we don't normally investigate
lost-property cases.
14
00:02:45,135 --> 00:02:48,455
Try not to mistake your
current unaccountability
15
00:02:48,455 --> 00:02:52,675
for expendability...
Detective Superintendent.
16
00:02:52,675 --> 00:02:54,475
DOOR OPENS
17
00:02:54,475 --> 00:02:55,955
Shall we?
18
00:02:57,235 --> 00:02:59,375
BOYD CHUCKLES
19
00:03:01,315 --> 00:03:02,915
Leonard...
20
00:03:02,915 --> 00:03:04,775
Sir?
21
00:03:08,255 --> 00:03:11,355
I thought he was on a hunger strike?
He's eating.
22
00:03:11,355 --> 00:03:17,875
No, he's drinking. It'll be a
mixture of water, saline and vitamin
B1. He's drawing it out, then.
23
00:03:17,875 --> 00:03:23,095
Well, that is the point of a
hunger strike, got to build up the
pressure so your demands are met.
24
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,955
Detective Superintendent Boyd.
This is Dr Grace Foley.
25
00:03:28,955 --> 00:03:32,315
This way, please. Sorry. Sorry.
26
00:03:36,395 --> 00:03:38,015
Have you found the Mahdi's skull?
27
00:03:38,015 --> 00:03:41,755
Now, hang on a minute,
we've just arrived.
28
00:03:41,755 --> 00:03:47,795
His Excellency will continue
his fast until the Mahdi's remains
are returned to the Sudan.
29
00:03:47,795 --> 00:03:53,795
Um, His Excellency also remains our
best hope for both the forthcoming
elections and its aftermath.
30
00:03:53,795 --> 00:03:58,495
If His Excellency dies,
we can write off the Sudan
for another generation.
31
00:03:58,495 --> 00:04:03,035
Sewing his lips together's
gonna get him elected? He's been
in exile, he needs this,
32
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:04,795
the grand gesture.
33
00:04:04,795 --> 00:04:07,495
The Mahdi is our country's hero.
34
00:04:07,495 --> 00:04:10,495
All my father wants is his remains
returned for burial.
35
00:04:10,495 --> 00:04:12,775
He's your father and
you're watching him die.
36
00:04:12,775 --> 00:04:16,615
He will not die -
if you find the Mahdi's skull.
37
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:24,415
HE SPEAKS ARABIC
38
00:04:33,495 --> 00:04:38,455
The Sudan was born out of
a bloody war,
39
00:04:38,455 --> 00:04:42,155
but so was the United States
of America.
40
00:04:43,715 --> 00:04:46,335
How are we different?
41
00:04:46,335 --> 00:04:51,915
But in our struggle for independence
from the British Empire,
44
00:04:56,495 --> 00:05:02,175
the Mahdi did not let his religion
stand in the way of alliances
45
00:05:02,175 --> 00:05:08,735
between Muslims, Christians
and the followers of tribal gods.
46
00:05:08,735 --> 00:05:14,535
If the head of General George
Washington was taken as a war trophy,
47
00:05:14,535 --> 00:05:19,275
would the leaders of America
be content to let it remain,
48
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:20,975
undiscovered,
49
00:05:20,975 --> 00:05:22,655
unmourned,
50
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:24,215
unburied?
51
00:05:25,275 --> 00:05:28,535
They don't need us,
they need Indiana Jones.
52
00:05:37,575 --> 00:05:39,495
Sir Cyril.
53
00:05:40,575 --> 00:05:44,135
Not exactly my kind of place.
Why did you ask me here?
54
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:48,715
It is not a matter of caprice, Boyd,
my masters know you're here.
55
00:05:48,715 --> 00:05:50,495
May I? Mm.
56
00:05:50,495 --> 00:05:52,695
You still have masters?
57
00:05:52,695 --> 00:05:56,935
This is a democracy. Only
dictators escape public service.
58
00:05:56,935 --> 00:06:01,935
I may be retired, but I still have
responsibilities.
59
00:06:03,415 --> 00:06:07,195
I hear you're the new saint
of lost causes, Boyd.
60
00:06:07,195 --> 00:06:10,015
The Mahdi's skull.
News travels fast.
61
00:06:10,015 --> 00:06:14,815
Just two hours ago I was told that
I could bring peace to the Sudan.
62
00:06:14,815 --> 00:06:17,095
Am I being set up?
63
00:06:18,595 --> 00:06:19,855
I am.
64
00:06:19,855 --> 00:06:24,315
Er, your unit is self-contained,
that was seen as a virtue.
65
00:06:24,315 --> 00:06:26,395
I thought it was my expendability.
66
00:06:26,395 --> 00:06:29,195
Please, you should be flattered.
67
00:06:29,195 --> 00:06:31,895
You got the job because
they're taking it seriously.
68
00:06:31,895 --> 00:06:35,035
I know nothing about the Sudan
or the Mahdi's skull.
69
00:06:35,035 --> 00:06:39,575
The Mahdi rewrote Islam
to make himself the harbinger
of the apocalypse.
70
00:06:39,715 --> 00:06:44,555
He declared service in his armies
equivalent to the
pilgrimage to Mecca.
71
00:06:44,555 --> 00:06:47,715
So he's responsible for
all our current problems?
72
00:06:51,635 --> 00:06:57,255
You can't make your hunger striker
responsible for his forefathers'
crimes,
73
00:06:57,255 --> 00:07:01,715
but, if Khaled Ahmed dies, it would
be a disaster for the Sudan
74
00:07:01,715 --> 00:07:07,115
and a disaster for us in the UK.
Is that your opinion or
the Foreign Office's?
75
00:07:07,115 --> 00:07:12,255
My opinion is that nothing in the
world will change, whether the Sudan
76
00:07:12,255 --> 00:07:17,275
limps on for another hundred years,
or shatters into a thousand pieces.
77
00:07:17,275 --> 00:07:19,635
And I love the place.
78
00:07:19,635 --> 00:07:21,975
Sounds like it.
79
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:26,435
Sometimes the things you love are
beyond saving. But you can't let go.
80
00:07:26,435 --> 00:07:28,135
HE COUGHS
81
00:07:29,195 --> 00:07:32,595
I recommended your team, Boyd.
82
00:07:32,595 --> 00:07:34,755
Perhaps I spoke out of turn.
83
00:07:34,755 --> 00:07:37,275
But I wanted to make contact.
84
00:07:37,275 --> 00:07:44,635
There is another matter,
one that also calls for a team
of semi-detached misfits.
85
00:07:44,635 --> 00:07:46,755
BOYD LAUGHS
86
00:07:46,755 --> 00:07:48,855
Now you're flattering me!
87
00:07:48,855 --> 00:07:52,655
Indulge me,
take my admiration as read.
88
00:07:53,755 --> 00:08:00,375
You once considered re-opening
the murder of an Iraqi refugee,
Omar Jaffiri.
89
00:08:01,955 --> 00:08:04,275
Omar Jaffiri, yeah, yeah...
90
00:08:07,395 --> 00:08:12,155
We review it every year,
but it's never seemed more hopeful
than it did in '93.
91
00:08:12,155 --> 00:08:14,975
All it took was the fall of Saddam.
92
00:08:14,975 --> 00:08:19,375
An Iraqi general was
sentenced to death in Baghdad today.
93
00:08:19,375 --> 00:08:23,495
He confessed to Jaffiri's murder,
amongst others.
94
00:08:26,075 --> 00:08:27,975
What's this?
95
00:08:27,975 --> 00:08:31,735
The entire transcripts
of the killer's interrogation.
96
00:08:33,215 --> 00:08:36,355
Jaffiri was killed
on my watch, Boyd.
97
00:08:38,015 --> 00:08:40,435
So what am I supposed
to find in here?
98
00:08:40,435 --> 00:08:43,375
A discrepancy. You won't miss it.
99
00:08:43,375 --> 00:08:47,795
Well, I won't miss it if I know what
I'm meant to be looking for.
100
00:08:47,795 --> 00:08:49,855
Ah, Boyd, Boyd, Boyd.
101
00:08:49,855 --> 00:08:55,175
What is the police oath now? To
be faithful, honest and impartial?
102
00:08:55,175 --> 00:09:00,195
Yeah, something like that.
What's yours? To keep my mouth shut.
103
00:09:00,195 --> 00:09:04,915
Why should I help you?
A chance to bring a transient
stability to the Sudan.
104
00:09:04,915 --> 00:09:09,995
The death of Jaffiri
is something else. Why?
105
00:09:09,995 --> 00:09:13,935
Because it brings shame
on my entire profession.
106
00:09:13,935 --> 00:09:19,075
I'm not exactly a fan of
your profession, Sir Cyril. No, you
want everything out in the open,
107
00:09:19,075 --> 00:09:21,615
battle lines drawn,
enemies identified.
108
00:09:21,615 --> 00:09:29,015
But what if I tell you there is a
connection between the death of Omar
Jaffiri and the skull of the Mahdi?
109
00:09:29,015 --> 00:09:31,575
Would it interest you then?
110
00:09:33,135 --> 00:09:35,335
It would, if I believed you.
111
00:09:35,335 --> 00:09:36,855
Believe me.
112
00:09:39,935 --> 00:09:43,015
ALL: ALLAHU AKBAR! ALLAHU AKBAR!
113
00:10:17,335 --> 00:10:19,335
REGGAE MUSIC
114
00:10:34,375 --> 00:10:36,175
Is it true about the skull?
115
00:10:36,175 --> 00:10:38,175
So rumour has it, yeah.
116
00:10:38,175 --> 00:10:39,695
When did it disappear?
117
00:10:39,695 --> 00:10:42,135
Ooh, where to start?
118
00:10:43,175 --> 00:10:50,815
The Mahdi's tomb was desecrated
by British troops in revenge for
the death of General Gordon in 1885.
119
00:10:50,815 --> 00:10:55,215
And he was? He was
the then governor of the Sudan.
120
00:10:55,215 --> 00:10:58,715
Mahdi's warriors
chopped his head off.
121
00:10:58,715 --> 00:11:03,015
Why hasn't someone asked for the
Mahdi's skull back before now?
They did.
122
00:11:03,015 --> 00:11:05,375
In 1956.
123
00:11:05,375 --> 00:11:09,775
An investigation was requested
by the first Sudanese government
after independence.
124
00:11:09,775 --> 00:11:11,475
Independence from the British?
125
00:11:11,475 --> 00:11:16,115
No. No, from Egypt, and
Egypt got its independence from us.
126
00:11:16,115 --> 00:11:20,775
Right. And the skull
is important now because...?
127
00:11:20,775 --> 00:11:24,295
Well, the Sudan has had a civil war
for almost 50 years.
128
00:11:24,295 --> 00:11:29,215
Two million people have died
and more than that
have fled the country.
129
00:11:29,215 --> 00:11:34,975
And this guy is putting himself
forward as the man who can pull
it all together. Yeah. Sorry...
130
00:11:34,975 --> 00:11:38,715
There's been a peace process in
place since 2005, but it's shaky.
131
00:11:38,715 --> 00:11:43,295
The skull is a potent symbol
of past glory and unity.
132
00:11:43,295 --> 00:11:47,375
Yeah, but the 1956
investigation was a joke.
133
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:49,455
It's just a list of rumours.
134
00:11:49,455 --> 00:11:54,635
They say the skull might have been
used as an ink well, a paperweight,
or an ashtray.
135
00:11:54,635 --> 00:12:00,515
1956 was Suez, so the Met are
hardly going to pull out
all the stops, are they?
136
00:12:00,515 --> 00:12:04,135
Why is Khaled Ahmed threatening the
peace process by risking his life?
137
00:12:04,135 --> 00:12:09,315
Politics, politics, politics.
Suppose we find this skull, is a
DNA comparison going to work, Eve?
138
00:12:09,315 --> 00:12:13,635
After 120 years? Well, it very
much depends on the condition.
139
00:12:13,635 --> 00:12:15,415
You know DNA degrades in bones?
140
00:12:15,415 --> 00:12:22,335
I didn't. There are much more
sensitive new techniques, Low Copy
Number Analysis at 34 cycle PCR.
141
00:12:23,735 --> 00:12:30,055
Anyway, what was I going to say?
Oh, yes, about this -
Lawrence Olivier's portrayal.
142
00:12:30,055 --> 00:12:31,695
It wasn't particularly accurate.
143
00:12:31,695 --> 00:12:36,535
It was quite a good film though.
Never saw it. It was good. The Mahdi
was a black African.
144
00:12:36,535 --> 00:12:39,235
That's what I said.
Nubian or Dongolese.
145
00:12:39,235 --> 00:12:42,935
But don't we all look
alike 125 years after we die?
146
00:12:42,935 --> 00:12:46,735
That's a bit like saying we all look
alike when we take our clothes off.
147
00:12:46,735 --> 00:12:49,335
The differences are heightened.
148
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:51,255
And on skeletons?
149
00:12:51,255 --> 00:12:56,175
Narrow the frame of reference and
the complexity of a structure comes
into focus.
150
00:12:56,175 --> 00:13:01,335
So what about X-rays? I've got some
injuries I want you to look at
on the old Jaffiri file.
151
00:13:01,335 --> 00:13:03,675
Omar Jaffiri? Omar Jaffiri.
152
00:13:03,675 --> 00:13:07,075
That's the case I was pushing for
last year and you knocked me back.
153
00:13:07,075 --> 00:13:10,255
Yeah, his killer was sentenced
to death in Baghdad yesterday.
154
00:13:10,255 --> 00:13:12,315
So why bother?
155
00:13:13,575 --> 00:13:14,955
So why bother?
156
00:13:17,275 --> 00:13:20,155
I've been told there's a
connection between the two cases.
157
00:13:20,155 --> 00:13:24,555
Here's a transcript of the
condemned man's interrogation.
158
00:13:24,555 --> 00:13:28,095
The Mahdi's skull
disappeared in the 1890s.
159
00:13:28,095 --> 00:13:31,895
Omar Jaffiri was killed in 1993.
160
00:13:31,895 --> 00:13:33,815
Can you help me out here?
161
00:13:33,815 --> 00:13:35,615
D'you wanna take on the case or not?
162
00:13:35,615 --> 00:13:37,075
Hell, yeah.
163
00:13:40,475 --> 00:13:43,255
So tell me,
how did the transcripts of
164
00:13:43,255 --> 00:13:47,815
a military interrogation in Baghdad
find its way into your hands?
165
00:13:47,815 --> 00:13:50,135
Well, Sir Cyril Barrett, the MI6 guy.
166
00:13:50,135 --> 00:13:53,895
Stubborn old bastard,
he wouldn't tell me what I'm
supposed to be looking for.
167
00:13:53,895 --> 00:13:59,195
Mmm, another old man with
his lips stitched together. Yeah.
You know what he called us?
168
00:13:59,195 --> 00:14:02,135
A bunch of misfits.
Oh, he knows us, then?
169
00:14:02,135 --> 00:14:06,875
Semi-detached, expendable,
unaccountable, all in one day.
Makes you feel valued, doesn't it?
170
00:14:06,875 --> 00:14:10,975
Mmm, don't let your ego get
in the way, Boyd. Why not?
171
00:14:10,975 --> 00:14:12,775
A public servant isn't allowed one.
172
00:14:12,775 --> 00:14:15,475
Servant, not slave. Or martyr.
173
00:14:17,195 --> 00:14:21,095
I didn't know that DNA
degraded in bones, did you?
174
00:14:21,095 --> 00:14:24,755
What about that 2,000-year-old ice
man that they found, and they traced
175
00:14:24,755 --> 00:14:28,355
through his blood line to find out
where he came from, what he did...
176
00:14:28,355 --> 00:14:31,675
She seems to know what
she's talking about. Yeah...
177
00:14:31,835 --> 00:14:34,255
She said "narrow your terms
of reference" -
178
00:14:34,255 --> 00:14:38,555
that helps you focus on things,
that's good because that's what
the team does,
179
00:14:38,555 --> 00:14:42,535
which is good, so it's positive,
early days, but positive.
180
00:14:42,535 --> 00:14:48,215
I like what she said about us
all being different with our
clothes off, that was bright.
181
00:14:49,875 --> 00:14:51,535
Get out, Grace.
182
00:15:00,615 --> 00:15:03,635
A Michael Leonard just called.
183
00:15:03,635 --> 00:15:07,015
Ah, it's that little shit from the
Foreign Office. What did he want?
184
00:15:15,535 --> 00:15:17,655
Is this the Foreign Office way?
185
00:15:17,655 --> 00:15:20,475
Taking meetings in the open air?
186
00:15:20,475 --> 00:15:22,115
Please, just sit down.
187
00:15:24,915 --> 00:15:26,715
Not so close.
188
00:15:38,875 --> 00:15:40,455
Not here.
189
00:15:41,595 --> 00:15:43,135
What's your problem?
190
00:15:43,135 --> 00:15:45,575
If you're uncomfortable,
we can talk at headquarters.
191
00:15:45,575 --> 00:15:49,455
This might be a joke to you,
but it's not to me, OK?
192
00:15:52,695 --> 00:15:56,855
So are we supposed to find the
Mahdi's skull at 8, Lorimer Gardens?
193
00:15:56,855 --> 00:16:01,735
Listen, I have given you all I can,
OK? Just, please, keep me out of it.
194
00:16:06,721 --> 00:16:08,461
8, Lorimer Gardens.
195
00:16:09,501 --> 00:16:11,121
8, Lorimer Gardens...
196
00:16:12,481 --> 00:16:14,521
BLEEPING
197
00:16:16,761 --> 00:16:18,381
Yeah, I see it...
198
00:16:18,381 --> 00:16:21,341
Good. It's on the edge
of the university area.
199
00:16:21,341 --> 00:16:24,021
I'll do a title search
and I'll see you there, yeah?
200
00:16:24,021 --> 00:16:26,481
OK, speak to you later. OK. Bye.
Bye.
201
00:16:35,021 --> 00:16:38,301
I don't know if it belongs to Mel,
the envelope was addressed to her.
202
00:16:38,301 --> 00:16:41,341
Well, I can't shed any light on
how it was stored or who handled it.
203
00:16:41,341 --> 00:16:44,161
There's no mark
on the pendant itself.
204
00:16:44,161 --> 00:16:48,841
There is a hallmark on the
clasp of the chain, 18-carat,
which is interesting,
205
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,421
because it's the number 18.
What's the number 18?
206
00:16:51,421 --> 00:16:53,901
The letters 'het' and 'yod',
eight and ten.
207
00:16:53,901 --> 00:16:56,241
What, so the letters
represent the number?
208
00:16:56,241 --> 00:16:57,941
In the Hebrew alphabet, yeah.
209
00:16:57,941 --> 00:17:01,801
And 18 means? Well, if you're Jewish
it's considered lucky to offer gifts
210
00:17:01,801 --> 00:17:07,221
in multiples of 18,
but more significantly
the number 18 represents life.
211
00:17:07,221 --> 00:17:10,561
So you'd give this to somebody
to wish them a long life?
212
00:17:10,561 --> 00:17:12,561
Possibly.
213
00:17:12,561 --> 00:17:15,121
Which is more than you're gonna have.
214
00:17:15,121 --> 00:17:16,601
Right, thanks.
215
00:17:32,081 --> 00:17:34,681
Excuse me. Do you live here, miss?
216
00:17:34,681 --> 00:17:36,261
No, no-one does.
217
00:17:36,261 --> 00:17:39,701
We're trying to trace the owners,
a company called Scott Grey.
218
00:17:39,701 --> 00:17:43,301
Scott Grey aren't the owners.
They only set up the trust.
219
00:17:43,301 --> 00:17:47,961
If anyone's responsible for the
lodge, I guess it's me. And you are?
220
00:17:47,961 --> 00:17:52,501
Elaine Wilson, I'm a medical
student and I'm late for class.
So who are the owners?
221
00:17:52,501 --> 00:17:56,381
It's owned by a historical society,
the Fakirs. I'm the lodge master.
222
00:17:56,381 --> 00:17:59,241
Historical, like
relics from the past?
223
00:17:59,241 --> 00:18:02,041
Some... What's the problem?
You're the lodge master?
224
00:18:02,041 --> 00:18:04,321
Master, yes.
225
00:18:04,321 --> 00:18:06,741
So you catalogue everything?
226
00:18:17,561 --> 00:18:19,061
Who pimped this crib?
227
00:18:19,061 --> 00:18:20,541
Wow.
228
00:18:32,801 --> 00:18:34,601
Scott Grey bought this place?
229
00:18:34,601 --> 00:18:39,421
The directors provided funds
to buy the leasehold and
undertake restoration.
230
00:18:39,421 --> 00:18:44,521
Here's a copy of the inventory
with all the historical artefacts.
231
00:18:44,521 --> 00:18:51,141
The directors of Scott Grey,
Catherine Braithwaite and James
Andrews, why were they so generous?
232
00:18:51,141 --> 00:18:53,481
They were both
ex-members of the society.
233
00:18:53,481 --> 00:18:57,861
I don't know Miss Braithwaite,
but I'm now late for
Professor Andrews' class.
234
00:18:59,841 --> 00:19:04,281
There's several problems with the
Geneva Convention. But let's
concentrate on interrogation.
235
00:19:04,281 --> 00:19:08,481
Under the Convention, a soldier is
only required to give his
rank and number.
236
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:13,541
And what's the assumption?
That a good soldier would
only speak under torture.
237
00:19:13,541 --> 00:19:16,361
It's designed to protect
men like my father.
238
00:19:16,361 --> 00:19:20,601
But better intelligence
might have saved his life.
So we overrule the Convention.
239
00:19:20,601 --> 00:19:25,221
Battles are fought on the ground.
Ordinary soldiers are often the best
source of intelligence.
240
00:19:25,221 --> 00:19:27,621
No. My father died as
a result of insurgency.
241
00:19:27,621 --> 00:19:31,101
He wasn't facing combat troops,
he was trying to maintain security.
242
00:19:31,101 --> 00:19:34,401
If we question Geneva, we've
got to make that differentiation.
243
00:19:34,401 --> 00:19:38,981
Security isn't just a wartime issue.
No-one's suggesting we apply wartime
measures outside the battlefield.
244
00:19:38,981 --> 00:19:42,681
I am. By definition, insurgents are
operating outside the battlefield.
245
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:48,161
If certain forms of interrogation
are legitimate in wartime, they
have to be legitimate at all times.
246
00:19:48,161 --> 00:19:51,981
Geneva recognises that wartime
interrogation involves psychological
247
00:19:51,981 --> 00:19:57,761
and physical stress, which is
exactly why these techniques can't
be applied outside of war. Why?
248
00:19:57,761 --> 00:20:01,901
Because they breach universal
human rights, freedom, dignity...
249
00:20:01,901 --> 00:20:06,941
If a state cannot guarantee
security, there is no dignity,
no freedom and no democracy.
250
00:20:06,941 --> 00:20:11,241
So acute interrogation techniques
are legitimate at all times,
in all situations?
251
00:20:11,241 --> 00:20:17,001
Who's going to apply that?
Who wouldn't apply them, if they knew
liberty and democracy were at stake?
252
00:20:17,001 --> 00:20:21,001
Someone has to be willing
to step up to the mark.
253
00:20:33,221 --> 00:20:35,121
Your big night tonight. Yeah.
254
00:20:35,121 --> 00:20:37,041
You're going to be bloodied.
255
00:20:39,381 --> 00:20:41,801
Dr James Andrews?
256
00:20:41,801 --> 00:20:46,161
Can you confirm that you own
the freehold to 8, Lorimer Gardens?
257
00:20:46,161 --> 00:20:48,681
And you are? DI Jordan.
258
00:20:49,721 --> 00:20:51,221
DC Goodman.
259
00:20:51,221 --> 00:20:55,601
Ah, I understand you spoke to
the current lodge master today.
I trust she was helpful.
260
00:20:55,601 --> 00:20:57,441
Yes, she was, thank you.
261
00:20:57,441 --> 00:21:02,061
You're one of the trustees,
along with a Catherine Braithwaite.
Do you know her whereabouts?
262
00:21:02,061 --> 00:21:05,001
Currently, no, I couldn't say.
You don't know?
263
00:21:05,001 --> 00:21:09,721
She travels. Outside the orbit
of a university professor.
When did you last see her?
264
00:21:09,721 --> 00:21:14,821
A few months ago. I gave a paper
at Georgetown University, and she
was good enough to come along.
265
00:21:14,821 --> 00:21:18,661
Though I expect I put her to sleep.
Sorry I can't be more help.
266
00:21:21,321 --> 00:21:24,701
Was it something I said? 'Fraid so.
267
00:21:26,061 --> 00:21:29,021
Here's the fracture of Jaffiri's
left humerus.
268
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:32,381
The pathologist assumed he was
injured in a struggle...
269
00:21:34,781 --> 00:21:36,221
Jaffiri!
270
00:21:37,321 --> 00:21:42,561
The killer said he took Jaffiri
by surprise, there's no mention
of a struggle.
271
00:21:42,561 --> 00:21:47,701
There are other ways to break bones.
Now, bone is stronger along
its length than its width,
272
00:21:47,701 --> 00:21:51,681
so any fractures will traverse
the grain, but this is unusual.
273
00:21:51,681 --> 00:21:55,821
I've made additional findings
- defects adjacent to the
articular surface,
274
00:21:55,821 --> 00:21:58,201
as though
ligaments have been pulled away.
275
00:21:58,201 --> 00:22:03,621
So, tendons being pulled off
the bone. Mmm, taking tiny flakes
of bone with them, here and here.
276
00:22:03,621 --> 00:22:07,521
The same defects suggesting
extreme rotational pressure
277
00:22:07,521 --> 00:22:10,961
was applied to the joint, which
would be excruciatingly painful.
278
00:22:10,961 --> 00:22:16,441
Now, could these injuries have been
sustained some time before, I mean,
you know, like old injuries?
279
00:22:16,441 --> 00:22:20,241
There's no evidence of new bone
formation, so no sign of healing.
280
00:22:20,241 --> 00:22:25,321
So you're saying that
these injuries took place
before death, just before death?
281
00:22:25,321 --> 00:22:26,781
It would seem so.
282
00:22:28,361 --> 00:22:30,461
So he was tortured...
283
00:22:30,461 --> 00:22:34,921
before he was killed. Yes.
And a form of suspension torture.
284
00:22:34,921 --> 00:22:37,581
Hung upside down or hung up or...?
285
00:22:37,581 --> 00:22:40,621
There are five basic
techniques, cross,
286
00:22:40,621 --> 00:22:43,601
butchery, when you hang
by one or both hands...
287
00:22:43,601 --> 00:22:45,581
that's butchery by the leg...
288
00:22:45,581 --> 00:22:49,161
Parrot perch, where you're hung
from a bar placed under the knees.
289
00:22:49,161 --> 00:22:51,201
And this - Palestinian suspension.
290
00:22:51,201 --> 00:22:56,501
Palestinian suspension. Because the
Israelis have used it intensively,
but they didn't invent it.
291
00:22:56,501 --> 00:23:01,981
There's an older name, "strappado",
dating back to the Inquisition.
Right.
292
00:23:01,981 --> 00:23:08,281
So you think that Hadid
softened up Jaffiri using this
technique before he slit his throat?
293
00:23:13,841 --> 00:23:15,721
Would he have needed help to do that?
294
00:23:19,481 --> 00:23:24,041
Would strappado be enough
to break an arm, though?
295
00:23:25,441 --> 00:23:28,401
It might...with a sudden drop.
296
00:23:28,921 --> 00:23:30,341
Aaggghh!
297
00:23:32,401 --> 00:23:34,281
Hassan Hadid.
298
00:23:34,281 --> 00:23:41,301
A Ba'athist general, convicted of
the murders of ten prominent Shias,
one in London, Omar Jaffiri.
299
00:23:41,301 --> 00:23:45,461
In the transcript of Hadid's
interrogation there is no mention
300
00:23:45,461 --> 00:23:48,981
of Jaffiri having been tortured
before he was killed...
301
00:23:48,981 --> 00:23:52,141
Yeah, but can we trust
this testimony from Baghdad?
302
00:23:52,141 --> 00:23:54,781
This guy could have been
tortured too, you know.
303
00:23:54,781 --> 00:23:58,821
It wouldn't necessarily negate
what he said. What are you saying?
304
00:23:58,821 --> 00:24:01,401
Evidence produced through torture
needn't be unreliable?
305
00:24:01,401 --> 00:24:04,981
God, here we go, yeah.
"Torture is ethically indefensible.
306
00:24:04,981 --> 00:24:08,281
"It pollutes
the entire justice system."
307
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:12,761
Yes. That is the argument,
though I didn't think I'd hear
you defending it. I'm not!
308
00:24:12,761 --> 00:24:14,741
I'm quoting the British law lords.
309
00:24:14,741 --> 00:24:17,581
But what if it gets results,
what do you want?
310
00:24:17,581 --> 00:24:20,721
D'you want killers and terrorists
to be on the loose?
311
00:24:20,721 --> 00:24:22,921
That is a very simplistic defence.
312
00:24:22,921 --> 00:24:27,921
But that's the point.
Sometimes you have to encourage
suspects, just a little, to talk.
313
00:24:27,921 --> 00:24:32,181
Yeah,
but they still have to be checked,
re-checked, analysed, repeated...
314
00:24:32,181 --> 00:24:34,721
Oh, there isn't
always time to do all that work...
315
00:24:34,721 --> 00:24:37,581
Then your argument is flawed.
316
00:24:37,581 --> 00:24:40,321
Torture isn't a guaranteed
short cut to the truth.
317
00:24:40,321 --> 00:24:41,981
Oh, OK, so if Hadid
318
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:45,341
tortured Jaffiri before he
killed him, it slipped his memory.
319
00:24:45,341 --> 00:24:50,741
And if he didn't, then somebody else
did torture him. Two-man team,
320
00:24:50,741 --> 00:24:55,101
and maybe someone's still out there.
You know, sometimes,
321
00:24:55,101 --> 00:24:58,021
you're just not a help.
Not if I don't agree with you.
322
00:24:59,041 --> 00:25:00,761
What have we got on the skull?
323
00:25:00,761 --> 00:25:05,221
The Fakirs.
Founded at the end of the 19th
century by a military surgeon.
324
00:25:09,221 --> 00:25:12,541
Lieutenant Dyer, who fell
in love with the Arabic world.
325
00:25:14,961 --> 00:25:17,121
Aw, sweet(!)
326
00:25:17,121 --> 00:25:21,821
Do they have the skull?
No, according to them. And there's
nothing in the inventory.
327
00:25:21,821 --> 00:25:25,321
Let's get Michael Leonard in and
we'll encourage him to talk
328
00:25:25,321 --> 00:25:30,101
ever so nicely, sweetly,
politely, make him tea with
lots of sugar in it...
329
00:25:40,081 --> 00:25:42,261
The Fakirs had a skull.
330
00:25:44,241 --> 00:25:46,081
They used it on certain occasions.
331
00:25:46,081 --> 00:25:47,541
Such as?
332
00:25:48,641 --> 00:25:53,541
Anniversaries, initiation
ceremonies, things like that.
They used to take it very seriously.
333
00:25:53,541 --> 00:25:55,721
How d'you know all this?
334
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:57,861
I was one of them.
335
00:26:07,381 --> 00:26:10,961
Why didn't you
tell me this before?
336
00:26:10,961 --> 00:26:12,401
I made an oath.
337
00:26:12,401 --> 00:26:15,061
That was part of the deal.
338
00:26:15,061 --> 00:26:17,221
But you had a prick of conscience?
339
00:26:18,861 --> 00:26:22,941
When I believed Khaled Ahmed would
carry out his threat, yes, I did.
340
00:26:25,461 --> 00:26:27,721
Look, the only reason I
joined the Fakirs
341
00:26:27,721 --> 00:26:33,701
was to keep my girlfriend happy,
and, yes, I should have spoken out,
but...
342
00:26:34,601 --> 00:26:37,301
But what? You were scared?
343
00:26:40,261 --> 00:26:41,781
What of?
344
00:26:43,421 --> 00:26:46,081
Let's just say it was in
my best interests to keep my word.
345
00:26:46,081 --> 00:26:51,301
What's with all the secrecy?
Have you been threatened?
I came here voluntarily.
346
00:26:53,341 --> 00:26:56,181
Who is your girlfriend? The one
you wanted to please.
347
00:26:56,181 --> 00:26:58,521
Catherine Braithwaite.
348
00:26:58,521 --> 00:27:03,181
Are you still in touch with her?
No, er...no.
No, I haven't seen her for ages.
349
00:27:03,181 --> 00:27:05,021
We split up not long after that.
350
00:27:05,021 --> 00:27:08,661
She's a translator now...
She speaks Arabic.
351
00:27:08,661 --> 00:27:11,921
Do you see anyone else involved
with the Fakirs at that time?
352
00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:16,041
No. They were mostly junior doctors
and medical students.
353
00:27:16,041 --> 00:27:21,081
I was an Orientalist,
as was Catherine, so we went
our different ways.
354
00:27:21,081 --> 00:27:23,161
You were in the Middle East section.
355
00:27:23,161 --> 00:27:25,761
You ever work the Iraq desk?
356
00:27:25,761 --> 00:27:27,341
Er, no.
357
00:27:27,341 --> 00:27:32,581
Have you heard of a man called
Omar Jaffiri? No, should I have?
358
00:27:32,581 --> 00:27:35,261
That's what I'm asking you.
359
00:27:35,261 --> 00:27:38,721
No, er,
his name means nothing to me.
360
00:27:40,481 --> 00:27:41,821
OK.
361
00:27:42,921 --> 00:27:44,841
Thank you, Michael.
362
00:27:44,841 --> 00:27:46,681
Thank you.
363
00:27:46,681 --> 00:27:49,001
Mike, please.
364
00:27:49,001 --> 00:27:51,561
Tu es francaise, non? Oui, pourquoi?
365
00:27:51,561 --> 00:27:53,561
Parce que...
366
00:27:54,321 --> 00:27:56,101
Belle.
367
00:28:01,341 --> 00:28:03,941
I like it. Maybe you should
come and do my flat.
368
00:28:03,941 --> 00:28:06,801
You like the style?
I like...I like the style.
369
00:28:06,801 --> 00:28:08,601
I'm pleased.
370
00:28:09,641 --> 00:28:11,741
Right, OK, what have we got?
371
00:28:14,701 --> 00:28:18,401
These are drawings made by
Leila Jaffiri.
372
00:28:18,401 --> 00:28:20,841
She witnessed her father's murder.
373
00:28:20,841 --> 00:28:24,261
She was too young at the time to
be questioned directly? Correct.
374
00:28:24,261 --> 00:28:27,561
What did the original investigation
learn from them?
375
00:28:27,561 --> 00:28:33,081
What you would expect,
suppressed memories, traumatised...
Is that your opinion?
376
00:28:33,081 --> 00:28:34,601
Yeah, I agree.
377
00:28:34,601 --> 00:28:36,481
Classic signs of withdrawal.
378
00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:40,341
But she's not a little girl any more.
That little girl
is still inside her.
379
00:28:40,341 --> 00:28:42,861
And that little girl
will have memories.
380
00:28:43,881 --> 00:28:45,881
All right, you talk to her, then.
381
00:28:45,881 --> 00:28:47,221
I will.
382
00:28:53,741 --> 00:28:56,721
Jaffiri's wife said
he'd been out all night.
383
00:28:56,721 --> 00:29:01,921
She heard the grille open
at 6.30 and the paper boys
found his body at seven.
384
00:29:01,921 --> 00:29:04,301
His little girl was in the shop.
385
00:29:04,301 --> 00:29:06,741
The paper boys found her
behind the counter.
386
00:29:12,801 --> 00:29:14,981
So the shutters were open.
387
00:29:16,061 --> 00:29:20,361
Yeah, it says, er, Jaffiri opened
the shutters from the outside.
388
00:29:20,361 --> 00:29:25,701
Looking at the time frame, 6.30
when his wife heard the shutters,
seven when the body was found...
389
00:29:25,701 --> 00:29:28,221
Jaffiri can't have been
tortured in the shop.
390
00:29:28,221 --> 00:29:32,521
His shoulder
must already have been broken.
391
00:29:32,521 --> 00:29:34,501
So...
392
00:29:34,501 --> 00:29:39,201
who opened the shutters
and brought in the newspapers?
393
00:29:40,901 --> 00:29:43,861
Hadid didn't mention that
in his interrogation, did he?
394
00:29:43,861 --> 00:29:47,721
Jaffiri was stabbed in
the lower right side of his chest...
395
00:29:47,721 --> 00:29:49,741
..nicking the adjacent rib.
396
00:29:50,821 --> 00:29:54,561
The blade moved upwards
through his lower lung and liver.
397
00:29:54,561 --> 00:29:57,021
He fell to the ground like so.
398
00:29:59,201 --> 00:30:00,941
The blood spurted left.
399
00:30:00,941 --> 00:30:05,401
Which means he must
have turned him over...
400
00:30:05,401 --> 00:30:09,421
Hm-mm. and...cut his throat.
401
00:30:09,421 --> 00:30:14,781
From left to right, the blood
pooling over a 125cm diameter.
402
00:30:16,381 --> 00:30:18,761
We make a really good team,
you know that?
403
00:30:18,761 --> 00:30:20,961
Why, Mr Spence!
404
00:30:20,961 --> 00:30:24,341
I have always depended on
the kindness of strangers.
405
00:30:33,901 --> 00:30:36,721
Well, it says here 1978...
KNOCKING
406
00:30:36,721 --> 00:30:39,101
Mmm. Andrews?
407
00:30:39,101 --> 00:30:41,441
I'll call you back.
KNOCKING CONTINUES
408
00:30:41,441 --> 00:30:43,841
Why am I always speaking
to you through a door?
409
00:30:43,841 --> 00:30:46,621
Coming. Sorry, Wilson.
410
00:30:49,221 --> 00:30:50,821
Your inner sanctum.
411
00:30:52,861 --> 00:30:55,061
Why wouldn't you defend me
at the seminar today?
412
00:30:55,061 --> 00:30:58,081
I can only stimulate debate,
I can't direct it.
413
00:30:58,081 --> 00:30:59,881
If I can provide the space...
414
00:30:59,881 --> 00:31:01,821
We can arrive at the truth.
415
00:31:05,981 --> 00:31:08,661
It seemed a shame to hide it
away in an album.
416
00:31:10,421 --> 00:31:13,021
Look how tightly
I'm holding onto Dad.
417
00:31:14,601 --> 00:31:16,841
Just like I'm gonna hold onto you.
418
00:31:38,621 --> 00:31:42,861
I used to, um...
wake up in the morning,
419
00:31:42,861 --> 00:31:46,041
to try and help my father
bring in the newspapers.
420
00:31:47,081 --> 00:31:48,501
Before he died.
421
00:31:50,961 --> 00:31:52,541
Before he was murdered.
422
00:32:01,401 --> 00:32:02,761
Do you need a few moments?
423
00:32:04,321 --> 00:32:05,941
What? To feel at home?
424
00:32:25,681 --> 00:32:28,101
It was quiet...
425
00:32:29,221 --> 00:32:30,621
SHUTTERS RATTLE
426
00:32:32,441 --> 00:32:35,721
Sorry, why are we doing this?
427
00:32:35,721 --> 00:32:39,841
I mean, the killer's been caught,
he's been sentenced to death.
428
00:32:39,841 --> 00:32:42,581
I can't do this.
429
00:32:44,621 --> 00:32:46,541
DOOR CLOSES
430
00:32:52,801 --> 00:32:56,701
This is Catherine Braithwaite,
seen at Heathrow. Coming or going?
431
00:32:56,701 --> 00:32:58,941
Coming, three days ago.
432
00:32:58,941 --> 00:33:00,801
We drew a blank on tax records,
433
00:33:00,801 --> 00:33:04,821
so we assume she's been working
abroad since leaving university.
434
00:33:04,821 --> 00:33:06,361
We knew she was a translator,
435
00:33:06,361 --> 00:33:08,601
so we started with the
UN and the Pentagon.
436
00:33:08,601 --> 00:33:12,201
She's the CEO of a military
contractor based in the States.
437
00:33:12,201 --> 00:33:14,301
So is she a contractor
or a translator?
438
00:33:14,301 --> 00:33:16,321
She contracts translating services.
439
00:33:16,321 --> 00:33:19,201
And get this, the company's
called Scott Grey.
440
00:33:19,201 --> 00:33:22,601
Same company that bought
the Fakir Lodge house.
441
00:33:22,601 --> 00:33:27,541
Aren't US military contracts
classified information?
442
00:33:27,541 --> 00:33:29,481
Freedom of Information Act.
443
00:33:29,481 --> 00:33:32,181
All this comes from the
Senate Defence Committee,
444
00:33:32,181 --> 00:33:34,181
including...
445
00:33:34,181 --> 00:33:36,141
her photograph.
446
00:33:36,141 --> 00:33:38,161
Do we know where she is now?
447
00:33:38,161 --> 00:33:39,881
No clue.
448
00:33:39,881 --> 00:33:42,541
Time to meet the Fakirs.
449
00:33:42,541 --> 00:33:46,181
MIDDLE-EASTERN MUSIC
450
00:33:46,181 --> 00:33:48,241
That'll do, thank you. Ta.
451
00:33:48,241 --> 00:33:49,661
Thank you.
452
00:33:53,621 --> 00:33:55,421
Jaspers!
453
00:33:57,461 --> 00:33:58,821
Thanks a lot.
454
00:34:16,701 --> 00:34:18,361
How many have gone in?
455
00:34:18,361 --> 00:34:20,581
I've counted nine.
I've got a good signal.
456
00:34:20,581 --> 00:34:21,941
OK.
457
00:34:23,001 --> 00:34:26,301
If we've got a full house,
we should take advantage.
458
00:34:26,301 --> 00:34:28,001
Gotcha!
459
00:34:28,001 --> 00:34:30,241
Right! Later!
Toodle-pip.
460
00:34:34,841 --> 00:34:36,681
Yep, we're in.
461
00:34:36,681 --> 00:34:37,861
DRUMMING
462
00:35:00,101 --> 00:35:02,421
GONG SOUNDS
463
00:35:12,581 --> 00:35:14,001
BEEPING AND CLICK
464
00:35:26,821 --> 00:35:30,081
Where have you come from, traveller?
465
00:35:30,081 --> 00:35:34,201
ECHOING: Where have you
come from, traveller?
466
00:35:34,201 --> 00:35:37,621
From the desert, oh, Selina Hanom.
467
00:35:37,621 --> 00:35:40,361
How did you travel?
468
00:35:40,361 --> 00:35:42,061
By night.
469
00:35:42,061 --> 00:35:45,081
Guided by the star of my beloved.
470
00:35:45,081 --> 00:35:50,201
ECHOING: By night. Guided by
the star of my beloved.
471
00:35:50,201 --> 00:35:54,521
Welcome, oh, Sheik of the Desert.
472
00:35:54,521 --> 00:35:58,681
ECHOES: Welcome, oh,
Sheik of the Desert.
473
00:35:58,681 --> 00:36:00,241
SCREAMING
474
00:36:44,181 --> 00:36:47,161
If you betray your sacred vows...
475
00:36:47,161 --> 00:36:50,741
May I be suspended between
this world and the next.
476
00:37:00,461 --> 00:37:00,581
BEEPING
477
00:37:17,552 --> 00:37:21,152
How did you get in here?
The door was open. May I?
478
00:37:27,412 --> 00:37:28,472
It's poly-resin.
479
00:37:28,472 --> 00:37:31,832
Yeah. But could it have been taken
from a mould of the Mahdi skull?
480
00:37:31,832 --> 00:37:35,412
Granny Mahdi, maybe.
It's taken from an elderly woman.
481
00:37:35,412 --> 00:37:36,872
Alas, poor Granny.
482
00:37:39,492 --> 00:37:42,532
Don't! Sorry.
483
00:37:42,532 --> 00:37:44,232
OK, Spence. Thank you.
484
00:37:56,232 --> 00:37:57,872
D'you know why you're here?
485
00:37:57,872 --> 00:38:00,312
You want to know the
whereabouts of the skull,
486
00:38:00,312 --> 00:38:05,112
purported to be that of the Mahdi,
Mohammad Ahmed. Go on.
487
00:38:05,112 --> 00:38:07,332
It's an urban myth.
488
00:38:07,332 --> 00:38:08,492
PHONE RINGS
489
00:38:08,492 --> 00:38:12,552
I'm not gonna pretend
I've never heard of the story,
there's nothing in it.
490
00:38:12,552 --> 00:38:14,492
What have you heard?
491
00:38:14,492 --> 00:38:16,112
Probably more than you.
492
00:38:16,112 --> 00:38:20,192
And more about Mohammad Ahmed too,
leader of the fuzzy-wuzzies.
493
00:38:21,992 --> 00:38:26,232
You know, big Afro hair, jogging
along with spears in their hands.
494
00:38:27,812 --> 00:38:31,152
Why wasn't this skull
listed in your inventory?
495
00:38:32,172 --> 00:38:33,892
It's plastic.
496
00:38:33,892 --> 00:38:36,412
Hardly a historical artefact,
don't you think?
497
00:38:36,412 --> 00:38:38,672
See how she's dominating
the interview.
498
00:38:38,672 --> 00:38:41,592
Winding him up, answering
questions with questions.
499
00:38:41,592 --> 00:38:42,972
What are you getting at?
500
00:38:42,972 --> 00:38:46,592
They all have the same surety, which
comes from belonging to the pack.
501
00:38:48,192 --> 00:38:51,832
Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves? No,
they take themselves very seriously.
502
00:38:51,832 --> 00:38:53,672
That's what Michael Leonard said.
503
00:38:53,672 --> 00:38:56,712
Serious enough to lie about
having the Mahdi's skull?
504
00:38:56,712 --> 00:38:59,832
Cliques and secrecy are synonymous.
505
00:38:59,832 --> 00:39:01,592
WILSON: What about a policeman?
506
00:39:15,972 --> 00:39:18,352
Every pack has its vulnerable point.
507
00:39:20,212 --> 00:39:21,512
Don't bully that boy.
508
00:39:21,512 --> 00:39:24,752
I don't wanna debate this now.
When are we going to debate it?
509
00:39:24,752 --> 00:39:30,252
Don't compromise me. I won't. You
can watch me if you want. I will.
510
00:39:30,252 --> 00:39:31,232
Good, OK.
511
00:39:34,672 --> 00:39:36,272
Hello. Hello.
512
00:39:41,132 --> 00:39:43,832
Jaspers. Yes, sir.
513
00:39:45,052 --> 00:39:46,352
Unusual name.
514
00:39:46,352 --> 00:39:50,192
A German phenomenologist.
My father was a philosopher.
515
00:39:50,192 --> 00:39:52,992
And you're a psychology student?
Mm-hm.
516
00:39:54,772 --> 00:39:56,232
What's this?
517
00:39:59,252 --> 00:40:00,972
A rope.
518
00:40:00,972 --> 00:40:05,532
Yeah...it's a rope.
519
00:40:05,532 --> 00:40:06,992
The last image I have of you
520
00:40:06,992 --> 00:40:09,572
is this was tying your hands
behind your back.
521
00:40:09,572 --> 00:40:12,212
It's just a tradition, a bit of fun.
522
00:40:12,212 --> 00:40:13,972
How much fun?
523
00:40:13,972 --> 00:40:15,812
D'you wanna show me?
524
00:40:15,812 --> 00:40:18,692
You were kneeling, yeah? Yes.
525
00:40:22,712 --> 00:40:26,572
You don't have to kneel on the floor,
kneel on this, save your jeans.
526
00:40:26,572 --> 00:40:28,472
I just wanna get this picture of you.
527
00:40:28,472 --> 00:40:32,152
When I came into the room, there you
were here and there was a woman here.
528
00:40:32,152 --> 00:40:36,692
You had your hands... May I?
Tie your hands behind your back?
529
00:40:36,692 --> 00:40:37,912
Thank you.
530
00:40:42,332 --> 00:40:45,152
This is where the fun starts, eh?
531
00:40:45,152 --> 00:40:47,912
And there was a woman
here holding a skull.
532
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:52,452
So then what happened? I can't say.
Why? Because you took an oath?
533
00:40:52,452 --> 00:40:54,052
Yes. To protect what?
534
00:40:54,052 --> 00:40:56,952
I mean, if you take an oath,
you're hiding something.
535
00:40:56,952 --> 00:40:59,532
So what are you protecting?
Hiding what?
536
00:40:59,532 --> 00:41:02,652
Nothing that I'm aware of.
537
00:41:08,412 --> 00:41:09,692
Tell me about the skull.
538
00:41:09,692 --> 00:41:12,592
It's just a toy.
539
00:41:15,152 --> 00:41:18,492
In a minute I'm going to be accused
of using stressing technique,
540
00:41:18,492 --> 00:41:20,312
but I'm trying to save a man's life.
541
00:41:20,312 --> 00:41:23,152
You know, and there's
always the conflict.
542
00:41:23,152 --> 00:41:26,152
There's always that conflict.
Do you know what I mean?
543
00:41:26,152 --> 00:41:29,432
Now I want to know where
the Mahdi skull is.
544
00:41:29,432 --> 00:41:32,572
Can you please tell me
where the Mahdi skull is?
545
00:41:32,572 --> 00:41:34,392
No.
546
00:41:35,972 --> 00:41:38,252
You won't tell me? I don't know.
547
00:41:38,252 --> 00:41:40,472
You don't know?
548
00:41:40,472 --> 00:41:43,252
You sure you don't know
where the Mahdi skull is?
549
00:41:44,892 --> 00:41:46,192
OK.
550
00:41:46,192 --> 00:41:48,852
You're not gonna tell me
where the Mahdi skull is!
551
00:41:48,852 --> 00:41:50,552
Spence!
552
00:41:57,512 --> 00:41:59,872
So what did that prove?
Did you get an answer?
553
00:41:59,872 --> 00:42:01,992
He's telling the truth.
How do you know?
554
00:42:01,992 --> 00:42:05,432
Sir, Khaled Ahmed lost
consciousness 20 minutes ago.
555
00:42:07,992 --> 00:42:10,612
OK, you and Spence baby-sit
the Fakirs. Grace...
556
00:42:10,612 --> 00:42:12,512
It's one o'clock in the morning.
557
00:42:12,512 --> 00:42:15,772
I know, you get some coffee.
Where are we going?
558
00:42:32,352 --> 00:42:36,512
Civilised society has to have
barriers that we don't cross over.
559
00:42:36,512 --> 00:42:39,312
If we keep moving the barriers,
where will it all end?
560
00:42:39,312 --> 00:42:41,672
What do you do when law
and order breaks down?
561
00:42:41,672 --> 00:42:43,932
How do we maintain
trust and security?
562
00:42:43,932 --> 00:42:46,412
That's a hypothetical extreme.
563
00:42:46,412 --> 00:42:48,272
No, it's not, it's not.
564
00:42:48,272 --> 00:42:51,312
Boyd, you have such a bleak
view of humanity.
565
00:42:51,312 --> 00:42:54,312
Put it down to 30 years
of rubbing up against it.
566
00:42:54,312 --> 00:42:59,752
OK, so if you are advocating
torture, on the grounds of security,
567
00:42:59,752 --> 00:43:02,492
would you say Pinochet was right,
Franco was right,
568
00:43:02,492 --> 00:43:03,992
the juntas were right...?
569
00:43:03,992 --> 00:43:07,552
I'm not advocating torture, it's
just extraction of information.
570
00:43:09,412 --> 00:43:13,152
In certain... Situations. Yeah.
571
00:43:20,312 --> 00:43:24,572
Forgive my appearance. I rarely
expect visitors at this time,
572
00:43:24,572 --> 00:43:27,152
certainly not attractive women.
573
00:43:27,152 --> 00:43:29,712
Is this the sort of club
that welcomes women?
574
00:43:29,712 --> 00:43:32,332
If it didn't,
I doubt I could carry on.
575
00:43:32,332 --> 00:43:35,292
Thank you, my dear.
576
00:43:35,292 --> 00:43:39,332
What is the connection between the
Mahdi skull and Jaffiri's death?
577
00:43:39,332 --> 00:43:41,732
I can't tell you, Boyd.
578
00:43:42,792 --> 00:43:46,612
Khaled Ahmed is in a coma.
He could be dead by the morning.
579
00:43:46,612 --> 00:43:48,832
I'm dying too, Boyd.
580
00:43:50,732 --> 00:43:53,112
What are you dying of?
581
00:43:53,112 --> 00:43:56,572
It's technical,
the old term is consumption.
582
00:43:58,172 --> 00:44:00,552
Consumption is treatable nowadays.
583
00:44:00,552 --> 00:44:03,012
Not mine. If you're dying,
why are you holding back?
584
00:44:03,012 --> 00:44:07,472
I've got my reputation, Boyd.
What's the point of a reputation
if you're dead?
585
00:44:07,472 --> 00:44:09,872
I don't know where
the Mahdi's skull is,
586
00:44:09,872 --> 00:44:13,272
and my speaking out would not
bring justice for Jaffiri.
587
00:44:13,272 --> 00:44:18,312
I would be ostracised, discredited
and die a foolish old man.
588
00:44:18,312 --> 00:44:20,652
Isn't that the problem
with your profession?
589
00:44:20,652 --> 00:44:23,712
If the intelligence services
are ever corrupt,
590
00:44:23,712 --> 00:44:26,312
no-one speaks out,
everyone's in the dark?
591
00:44:26,312 --> 00:44:29,632
"In much wisdom is much grief."
592
00:44:29,632 --> 00:44:33,832
Am I right? "And he that increases
knowledge increases sorrow."
593
00:44:33,832 --> 00:44:37,912
Tell me one thing,
was there more than one man
involved in Jaffiri's death?
594
00:44:37,912 --> 00:44:39,652
Don't leap too far ahead, Boyd.
595
00:44:39,652 --> 00:44:41,972
There are no all-male
preserves any more.
596
00:44:41,972 --> 00:44:46,192
Not this club,
not even my old profession.
597
00:44:46,192 --> 00:44:48,132
We're through here, Boyd.
598
00:44:48,132 --> 00:44:52,012
Unless you can force
a sick man to speak.
599
00:45:05,352 --> 00:45:07,952
Is that your wife? It is.
600
00:45:07,952 --> 00:45:10,332
A bit of a daddy's girl, is she?
601
00:45:11,912 --> 00:45:13,712
Sorry I couldn't make the wedding.
602
00:45:13,712 --> 00:45:14,892
Oh, it was very quiet.
603
00:45:16,492 --> 00:45:19,532
You know Michael Leonard
is running the Sudan desk?
604
00:45:19,532 --> 00:45:23,012
You always said I had
such terrible taste in men.
605
00:45:23,012 --> 00:45:26,592
I think I said he was bright and
approachable, perhaps a bit weak.
606
00:45:26,592 --> 00:45:30,172
He was clingy, he was a leech.
607
00:45:30,172 --> 00:45:32,412
What do you know about
this investigation?
608
00:45:32,412 --> 00:45:34,012
Don't worry about it.
609
00:45:34,012 --> 00:45:38,132
I'm not so sure. I can't leave
Wilson fielding questions all night.
610
00:45:38,132 --> 00:45:40,532
That's what she's
there for, isn't it?
611
00:45:42,772 --> 00:45:45,272
Trust me.
612
00:45:45,272 --> 00:45:47,492
I'll take care of it.
613
00:46:09,952 --> 00:46:11,752
How is he?
614
00:46:11,752 --> 00:46:14,552
Stabilised.
615
00:46:14,552 --> 00:46:17,672
Will you consider calling
this hunger strike off? No.
616
00:46:17,672 --> 00:46:19,812
His orders were clear.
617
00:46:19,812 --> 00:46:21,892
He can't win an election
if he's dead.
618
00:46:21,892 --> 00:46:25,252
Then someone will take his place.
619
00:46:33,252 --> 00:46:38,312
We will not return to the Sudan
without the Mahdi's remains.
620
00:46:38,312 --> 00:46:41,972
If her father dies, do you think
she'll sew her own mouth up?
621
00:46:41,972 --> 00:46:45,492
She's her father's daughter, I think
she'll match him step for step.
622
00:46:45,492 --> 00:46:47,032
All the way to death?
623
00:46:47,032 --> 00:46:48,332
Yes, I think so.
624
00:46:48,332 --> 00:46:51,452
You know we don't know anything
about this Khaled Ahmed guy.
625
00:46:51,452 --> 00:46:55,772
If we get his skull for him
he could go back to the Sudan
and create a terrorist state.
626
00:46:55,772 --> 00:46:58,412
It's a possibility.
I'd rather deal in probability.
627
00:46:59,712 --> 00:47:02,512
I wanna talk to
Michael Leonard again.
628
00:47:21,412 --> 00:47:24,332
What's James Andrews doing here?
You know him?
629
00:47:24,332 --> 00:47:28,052
He holds the Burkean Chair in
Psychology at University College.
630
00:47:28,052 --> 00:47:30,292
What's James Andrews
doing here, Spence?
631
00:47:30,292 --> 00:47:32,572
Um, he wants to see his wife,
Elaine Wilson.
632
00:47:32,572 --> 00:47:36,332
God, I didn't see him
as the marrying kind.
633
00:47:36,332 --> 00:47:38,432
Maybe it's the attraction
of the older man?
634
00:47:38,432 --> 00:47:40,632
Not your type, eh, Grace?
635
00:47:40,632 --> 00:47:44,712
No, too cool, too detached.
636
00:47:44,712 --> 00:47:47,932
I've got a book of his
here somewhere.
637
00:47:52,732 --> 00:47:55,952
His views are quite
similar to yours, Boyd.
638
00:47:55,952 --> 00:47:57,552
My cool detachment you mean?
639
00:47:57,552 --> 00:47:59,592
Now don't get paranoid.
640
00:47:59,592 --> 00:48:03,012
Deus Ex Mashina. Machina.
641
00:48:03,012 --> 00:48:04,632
Machina.
642
00:48:04,632 --> 00:48:09,272
The moment when the god descends
onto the stage and wraps up the
drama, according to the Greeks.
643
00:48:09,272 --> 00:48:11,072
Why's it in Latin?
644
00:48:11,072 --> 00:48:13,432
I don't know. Why not?
645
00:48:13,432 --> 00:48:15,052
I never thought about it.
646
00:48:15,052 --> 00:48:19,212
I suppose some Roman theatre critic.
I thought that'd fascinate you.
647
00:48:19,212 --> 00:48:21,952
Oh! I've got other things
to think about.
648
00:48:21,952 --> 00:48:27,172
So why is he like me? Because he
advocates the use of stressing
techniques in interrogation.
649
00:48:34,532 --> 00:48:38,252
I want a lawyer.
Why am I in an interview room?
650
00:48:41,032 --> 00:48:43,312
You wanted to see Elaine Wilson.
651
00:48:43,312 --> 00:48:44,892
Yes, she's my wife.
652
00:48:46,792 --> 00:48:51,372
And she's also the lodge master
of this...Fakir Society.
653
00:48:51,372 --> 00:48:53,092
As was I once.
654
00:48:54,672 --> 00:48:56,212
Is she one of your protegees?
655
00:48:56,212 --> 00:48:59,472
Not at all, Wilson attends
my psychology seminars,
656
00:48:59,472 --> 00:49:02,132
but she was a member
of the society before we met.
657
00:49:02,132 --> 00:49:05,192
And how did you meet her?
Was it at a reunion or...?
658
00:49:05,192 --> 00:49:08,772
Yes. Why do you want to know?
659
00:49:11,052 --> 00:49:13,292
Has your wife told you
why she's here?
660
00:49:13,292 --> 00:49:16,632
I understand you're looking
for the Mahdi's skull.
661
00:49:16,632 --> 00:49:19,052
If so you'll be unlucky.
662
00:49:19,052 --> 00:49:22,172
If the skull exists then the
Fakirs have no knowledge of it.
663
00:49:22,172 --> 00:49:24,772
Ah, you can speak
for all of them can you?
664
00:49:24,772 --> 00:49:28,212
So when were you last
the Lodge Master?
665
00:49:28,212 --> 00:49:31,912
The Fakirs are the same as they've
been for more than 100 years,
666
00:49:31,912 --> 00:49:33,612
a glorified drinking society.
667
00:49:33,612 --> 00:49:37,272
They're undoubtedly elitist
and self-consciously so,
668
00:49:37,272 --> 00:49:39,772
but basically they get
together to get pissed.
669
00:49:39,772 --> 00:49:42,892
"Drink to the health of Cardinal
Tut" and all that nonsense.
670
00:49:42,892 --> 00:49:46,032
Till you end up with
your pants on your head.
671
00:49:57,352 --> 00:49:58,812
Excuse me.
672
00:50:10,872 --> 00:50:12,392
What are you thinking?
673
00:50:20,272 --> 00:50:22,992
What are you going to do?
674
00:50:22,992 --> 00:50:25,812
I dunno.
675
00:50:25,812 --> 00:50:31,052
Just feed the sound from here into
there so that he can hear it.
676
00:50:39,192 --> 00:50:44,192
I'm trying to save a man's life
and that's dependent on me
finding the Mahdi's skull.
677
00:50:44,192 --> 00:50:47,632
I want you to help me. I want you
to tell me the truth about the skull.
678
00:50:47,632 --> 00:50:51,132
Now I can't force you to tell me
the truth, I can't interrogate you.
679
00:50:51,132 --> 00:50:54,572
I can't hurt you, slap you, scream
at you because I'm being watched,
680
00:50:54,572 --> 00:50:55,812
and listened to.
681
00:50:55,812 --> 00:51:01,692
But I really need you
to tell me about the skull.
682
00:51:03,272 --> 00:51:06,872
If there was a skull, why should I
help the political ambitions
683
00:51:06,872 --> 00:51:09,612
of a man who spoke in
favour of Sharia law?
684
00:51:18,692 --> 00:51:20,512
I've got this phone.
685
00:51:20,512 --> 00:51:24,772
I've got the...
686
00:51:24,772 --> 00:51:26,452
newer version of this.
687
00:51:32,592 --> 00:51:34,992
Why does your husband
call you Wilson?
688
00:51:34,992 --> 00:51:36,592
How do you know that?
689
00:51:36,592 --> 00:51:39,172
You call him Andrews? You do!
690
00:51:39,172 --> 00:51:42,872
You call him Andrews,
that's really weird,
691
00:51:42,872 --> 00:51:45,632
that surname thing? Who's Amma?
692
00:51:45,632 --> 00:51:47,412
It's a name I call my grandmother.
693
00:51:49,272 --> 00:51:50,692
Oh...
694
00:51:51,752 --> 00:51:54,072
You close to her?
695
00:51:54,072 --> 00:51:55,432
Very close, yes.
696
00:51:55,432 --> 00:51:57,812
How old is she?
697
00:51:57,812 --> 00:51:59,812
She's 95.
698
00:51:59,812 --> 00:52:02,892
95?!
699
00:52:02,892 --> 00:52:06,172
Does she know you're here?
She can wait.
700
00:52:07,952 --> 00:52:13,092
Wow, how d'you think she'd feel
about receiving a phone call from a
strange man at 3.30 in the morning?
701
00:52:17,992 --> 00:52:19,892
Has she got a phone in the bedroom?
702
00:52:19,892 --> 00:52:22,252
She must be flat out, Amma.
703
00:52:24,392 --> 00:52:26,772
How is she on the stairs?
704
00:52:30,512 --> 00:52:31,992
PHONE RINGS
705
00:52:38,292 --> 00:52:40,912
Do you know how long it
takes her to get to the phone?
706
00:52:40,912 --> 00:52:44,252
OK, tell me about the skull.
707
00:52:49,232 --> 00:52:53,472
PHONE RINGS AGAIN
708
00:52:59,672 --> 00:53:01,132
Here we go.
709
00:53:21,472 --> 00:53:23,012
The skull.
710
00:53:32,312 --> 00:53:34,512
Hello, Amma.
711
00:53:34,512 --> 00:53:36,312
I have your granddaughter with me.
712
00:53:37,992 --> 00:53:40,032
Why don't you get your breath back?
713
00:53:43,392 --> 00:53:45,332
You gonna tell me about the skull?
714
00:53:51,152 --> 00:53:52,612
Amma...
715
00:53:58,192 --> 00:53:59,972
(Where's the skull?)
716
00:54:10,592 --> 00:54:12,912
It's up here, yeah?
717
00:54:15,592 --> 00:54:17,132
MIDDLE-EASTERN MUSIC
718
00:54:17,132 --> 00:54:19,752
Boyd said he wanted to speak
to Leonard tonight.
719
00:54:19,752 --> 00:54:21,992
Yeah, I know.
720
00:54:21,992 --> 00:54:23,652
He's not answering his phone.
721
00:54:23,652 --> 00:54:26,252
He probably can't hear it
over that weird music.
722
00:54:32,392 --> 00:54:34,152
DOOR BUZZES
723
00:54:40,392 --> 00:54:41,952
BUZZING CONTINUES
724
00:54:42,912 --> 00:54:45,832
"Day 312.
725
00:54:45,832 --> 00:54:51,032
"Our forces captured
one of the Mahdi's warriors
at the siege lines yesterday.
726
00:54:51,032 --> 00:54:53,972
"General Gordon's chief concern
727
00:54:53,972 --> 00:54:56,992
"is the rumours of enemy
reinforcements.
728
00:54:56,992 --> 00:55:01,812
"I informed him that the
prisoner expected fresh forces
to arrive by the river."
729
00:55:27,792 --> 00:55:29,272
Hello?
730
00:55:29,272 --> 00:55:33,132
This is the police. We need access
to the building, please.
DOOR BUZZES OPEN
731
00:55:38,332 --> 00:55:42,352
"The question is,
would the Mahdi's army arrive
732
00:55:42,352 --> 00:55:45,312
"ahead of the British relief force?
733
00:55:45,312 --> 00:55:48,592
"The General had a second question.
734
00:55:48,592 --> 00:55:50,492
"Can the prisoner be trusted?
735
00:55:50,492 --> 00:55:53,812
"The General wanted to know
if you are an honest man.
736
00:55:55,392 --> 00:55:57,732
"I think you're beyond lying."
737
00:56:11,832 --> 00:56:13,312
Mr Leonard?
738
00:56:17,392 --> 00:56:19,352
Mr Leonard?
739
00:56:30,312 --> 00:56:33,072
Give me your hand.
740
00:56:33,072 --> 00:56:34,512
Michael?
741
00:56:36,032 --> 00:56:37,392
Hand me the torch.
742
00:56:42,232 --> 00:56:44,512
Move, move!
743
00:56:46,552 --> 00:56:48,192
Police!
744
00:57:14,532 --> 00:57:15,852
WHEEZING
745
00:57:17,272 --> 00:57:19,712
I broke...
746
00:57:19,712 --> 00:57:20,992
I broke the vows.
747
00:57:20,992 --> 00:57:23,492
