[Low hum of traffic]

[Footsteps approach]

Sorry, guvnor, the
traffic's a nightmare.

We managed.

What time do you get in?

Eh?

Last night, what time?

I don't know, one...

Two?

Often the first sign, you know,

being late for a shout.

What're you talking about?

This lockup belonged to a
35 year old weights instructor,

called Mark rix.

In October 2008, he
died of a heart attack.

First sign of what?

[Shushes loudly]

Now, last week
among a load of goods

recovered from a burglary gang,

cid found a Roman
sword that they say

was nicked for in
here 12 months ago.

Roman?

Well, reproduction obviously.

The sword had bloodstains on it.

DNA matched a naked,
headless man found in a sandpit

near Heathrow in November 2008,

exactly a fortnight
before rix's death.

Now no one knew that rix
had this place at the time.

We still don't have a
name for sand-pit man.

And his murder
is still unsolved.

And that is where we come in.

First sign of what?

Declining interest,
desire to retire.

[Jaunty music]

Wow, look at this place, cool.

Nice boy.

Liked his Roman gear, didn't he?

Gladiator.

Unleash hell.

[Laughter]

Good film that, I liked that.

Yeah, yeah.

[Jaunty music continues]

Looks like some sort of shrine.

Oh yeah [yawns loudly]

Did you get to bed at all?

Oh!

[Steve] What is it?

Glass phials, syringes and...

[Gerry] Bloody hell.

Somebody's head.

Whoa! Gerry!

[Gerry vomits loudly]

Told you not to have
that curry last night.

Sandpit man was around
45 years old, sallow-skinned,

fit and healthy, apart
from having no head.

Lab report said not
just DNA, but indents

and marks on the sword match
notches on the seventh vertebra

on sandpit man's neck,

proving that the body
was a match to the head

in the fridge.

Surprise, surprise.

Notches, so the killer
had several goes at him.

Nutter.

Frenzied is what it says here.

[Gerry scoffs]

[Dan] What about rix?

When Mark rix died his
body lay undiscovered

for several days.

Now he worked in a gym

and yet nobody
reported him missing,

not family or friends.

The pathologist
noted rix's physique

and the indication of
long-term steroid use

as a possible contributory
factor to his heart attack.

[Knock on door]

Gov'nor, you're
bringing all the stuff

from the lockup here?

Yes, well it's all been logged.

So now we've got
to go through it all.

Do we?

Look, we know
that Mark rix topped

the sandpit man, right.

Then a few weeks later,
he fell off his own perch,

end of, case closed.

Yeah, but we still don't
know who sandpit man is.

I mean, you might be right

but we have to at
least try and prove it.

Yeah, all right.

If the pathologist knew
that rix was a murderer

he might have been
a bit more careful

about saying it was
just a heart attack.

Bit coincidental, isn't it?

Rix dropping dead just two weeks

after the man he's
supposed to have killed.

Quite, no joy on
the dental records.

I've asked for a forensic
reconstruction of the head.

See if we have
any luck that way.

What we do have a
handle on is the other stuff

in the fridge, the
phials and syringes.

And they contain norazine,
chlorazanil, gestonorone,

paraxeldronel-

sounds like the
man city back four.

Anabolic steroids,
banned ones, class c.

Oh, so the pathologist
was on the mung.

It was a bit weird, you know,

rix is obsessed
with this Roman stuff

but there's none
of it in his place.

Everything that marks him
seem to be in his lockup.

No, his flat was empty.

It was just a few
bits of furniture.

There was a bed,
a telly, that was it.

More spartan than Roman eh?

How come no-one
knew about this lock up?

What was he doing?

Leading some kind
of other secret life.

Not surprising, is it?

If he went around
chopping people's heads off.

Exactly, if.

Now these are all
original Roman shrines,

similar to this one.

They were dedicated
to the goddess Nemesis.

Now in imperial Rome
she was worshipped

by victorious generals
and gladiators.

She's often shown
riding in a chariot drawn

by gryphons.

Gryphons? [Chuckles]

She was seen as
divine justice, retribution,

the avenger of hubris.

Did this obsession with
Rome have anything to do

with what happened
to sandpit man?

What's this?

Ah, now this was one of
the DVDs found at the lockup.

It was labelled
imperium, which is Latin

for the power to command.

What's Latin for
losing the will to live?

[Sighs heavily] It's also
the name of a Roman

reenactment society
based in London.

Secretary is John otway.

He works as a drayman
for gilder's brewery.

Ah!

Gerry.

What, people dress as
romans, pretend to be romans?

Yes, well people like this.

[Swords clash]

[Crowd shouts]

[Crowd cheers and claps]

[Barrel thuds]

[Sasha] It seems to me
that Mark rix was obsessed

with this gladiator business.

He got a bit carried
away sometimes,

he took it too seriously.

Seriously?

I mean too eager, yeah.

This weapon was stolen from
a lockup that Mark rix owned.

It was used to cut
off a man's head

and the body was found
near Heathrow in 2008,

just shortly before
Mike rix died.

It's a Roman sword, so what?

So we're trying to
identify the headless man.

Mr. Otway, him and his killer.

Why, you think it
was Mark that done it?

We're keeping an open mind.

You knew Mark rix, obviously.

Yeah.

Did you or any other members

of the society
go to his funeral?

I don't think any of us
were very close to him.

Kept himself to himself,
apart from imperium.

We didn't have that
much in common.

Yeah, he made armour and stuff.

[Steve] And weapons, yeah.

Yeah, that was his thing.

Do you remember any of
his friends, his colleagues?

No, he didn't seem to have any.

He was always a bit of a loner.

I need the names of the
other imperium members

at the time.

I'd have to ask
their permission.

It's not a request.

How often do you
meet the society?

Once or twice a month,

more if there's a big
festival or show happening.

And is there one anytime soon?

Why?

Yeah, uxbridge, this Saturday.

Oh, nice.

Lovely.

Yeah, I don't want to be rude,

but I've got a round to finish.

[Ominous music]

Hi, Neil Murphy?

Hey, we've got some good
deals on at the moment

for people near retirement.

Keep the body active,
that sort of thing.

No, no, no, no.

I'm Gerry standing,
from the unsolved crime

and open case squad.

I'm here to talk about Mark rix.

Ooh, now there's a
blast from the past.

Yeah, and you
were his boss then.

Yeah, why, what's
this all about?

We're trying to find out
whether he killed someone.

Bloke had his head chopped off

with a sword a few weeks
before rix popped his clogs.

So did he have any
personal clients?

Nope, just used to come
in, take his class and go.

Not really a people person,
you know what I'm saying?

Did any of his clients
piss him off at all?

And then suddenly
stopped appearing?

Not that I remember.

Do you know if he ever
took anabolic steroids,

and I'm talking
non-prescription.

Not here he didn't.

We have a zero tolerance
policy against illegal substances.

I mean, you can't get away

with that sort of
stuff these days?

No, no, so you've never
seen any of these then?

Nareserine,
gestenarol, typarazine.

No, never.

Right, so the drug
squad won't find any

when they turn this place over?

What?

Oh yeah, they said
that could give me

a couple of hours
this afternoon.

I mean, your members
won't mind, will they?

And they'll love
the sniffer dogs.

Oh come on, for crying out loud.

Okay, okay.

I did hear a rumour and
I confronted him about it.

And?

He went bonkers, literally.

I thought he was
going to kill me.

Yeah, but somehow
you're still here.

Only because I did a runner!

Look, the man was
okay when I first met him.

But as time went on, he
just went bigger and bigger.

Nastier.

Listen, I went off
sick for a week,

when I came back, I
never mentioned it again.

Okay, so you don't know
who he sold them to?

How about where
he got them from?

I got no idea, on
my mother's life.

So he had a temper.

They call it steroid rage.

No wonder no one
went to his funeral.

That's one theory.

Oh yeah, yeah, I mean
there's loads of people

who are friends
who were killers,

chopped off their heads
and put them in their fridge.

This bloke was off his trolley.

Sandpit man was already
naked before he was killed.

That's not done
suddenly in a rage.

Do you want to hear
my other theory?

Two theories in
one day, wow, Gerry.

This had bugger
all to do with people

pretending to be Roman.

This was a falling out
between a drug dealer

and someone who owed him.

What, so then rix just
drops dead of a heart attack

after a lifetime on
steroids, exactly.

[Phone pings]

Ah, the other imperium members.

Where's Dan?

Well, he'll be in here
somewhere, Dan, Dan?

[Phone rings]

Steve mcandrew, u.C.O.S.

Dan, spooky.

Yeah, what?

Where?

Okay, we'll get there
as soon as we can.

He wants us all to go
and look at something.

[Gerry groans]

This is where the
body was found.

Now, according to the
map, this sandpit was

on the site of an
ancient Roman camp,

Julius Caesar's, supposedly.

He crossed the
thames at brentford.

Some people will do anything
not to live in south London.

The person who was
killed here was slain

with a replica Roman
sword, owned by a man

who we know
dressed as a gladiator.

Not all that again.

And your point is?

What if rix saw
this as his arena?

Arena?

Yeah, gladiator
versus helpless victim,

like the christians
in ancient Rome.

Oh, by the way, the labs came
back about the dental records.

There's no positive ID yet,

but the fillings were
eastern European,

Romanian to be precise,
as in land of the romans.

As in land of the illegal
stimulant, you mean.

Romania was part
of the eastern block

and that's where half of all
anabolic steroids come from.

It's a hangover from when
all the communist countries

used illegal drugs in sport.

See, that's what I
love about this job,

you're always
learning, aren't you?

Hold on a sec, before you
all spin off, can I just ask

how did rix persuade headless
to come here, get naked

and get decapitated,
all on his own?

[Steve] How do we
know he was on his own?

Look, rix, gladiator,
shrine to Nemesis.

What if this wasn't a
murder, but a ritual killing.

What if imperium aren't a
nice, cosy reenactment society?

Maybe this is what
otway was holding back.

And Nemesis was the
goddess of anabolic steroids.

Gerry, if drug trafficking
is what's behind all this,

then where's the
evidence, the paper trail,

the cash, the drugs?

Rix had a lockup
and an empty flat

and all the steroids
in the fridge tell me

is that he was a drug
user, not a drug baron.

Fine, you want
proof, I'll find it.

Good, you can start
by looking through

all the stuff in the
office, with Dan.

The sooner you do it, the
quicker we can clear the place.

Steve, let's go and see
some Roman wannabes.

Have fun boys.

[Moody music]

Julia Kane?

Hi.

Dci Miller, thanks
for agreeing to talk.

Not at all, happy to help.

This is about imperium
and Mark rix, is that right?

Sorry, who told you that?

John otway, I spoke to
him just after you rang.

And how much did he tell you?

That you think Mark
rix murdered someone.

Right, well, given what
you knew about rix,

do you think that's possible?

I wouldn't say that I knew him.

I was only in
imperium for a year.

Well, I wouldn't say
that any of us did really.

I mean, he was a bit odd.

Yeah, but he was really
committed to the group.

He made amazing armour.

Plus he had a Van and
drove us all about in.

But people didn't
like him very much.

No, I wouldn't say that.

Well, he had quite
a temper, apparently.

Mark, wasn't the most
sensitive guy around, but murder.

The armour that rix made,
did imperium pay him for that?

No, he was happy
just to let them have it,

he loved making it.

So did you never wonder
how come he let you have it all

for nothing?

As a woman, I never
got to wear it, so no.

Julia, did Mark rix
ever sell anybody drug?

Anabolic steroids,
that sort of thing?

No, how would I know that?

You're a personal trainer, gyms,

we all know that sort of
thing goes on in your world.

No, I never saw him do that.

When did you leave imperium?

In 2009.

Because?

Because I got married.

It wasn't my fellows
thing, he wanted weekends

to be for us..

Plus, I changed jobs,
speaking of which, do you mind?

Oh no, of course, thank you.

You want to talk again,
just give me a call.

Right?

[Sombre music]

[Tessa] I teach
science and [murmurs].

[Tim] History.

Including the romans?

Year 7, mostly in regard
to their presence in britain.

Right, can I ask you
about, um, reenactment?

What's, what's the
attraction there?

It's obvious isn't it?

It's another world, it's
exciting, stimulating.

The awareness of how simple

and yet extraordinarily
difficult it must've been

to live back then.

You can lose yourself,
be someone else,

someone very different.

I mean, you get to wave a
sword around a bit too, eh?

So, yeah, have a look
at this shot of Mark rix.

How would you say he
felt about reenactment?

Well, he maybe took
it a bit more seriously

than the rest of us.

Tim.

Certainly looks like it.

He was a little
overenthusiastic.

Half of him thought
he was Roman.

Oh yeah?

He thought, well,
he believed actually,

he was a reincarnated
gladiator called Marcus Rex.

By the end he said he
wanted to be called that,

Marcus Rex, not rix.

Really?

I didn't take it that seriously,

but he did say that, yes.

When we first knew
him, he was really nice.

Nice.

Well, he was a bit awkward,
but he was very generous.

The Van and the armour.

Nemesis, and he
wanted to share this,

his fascination with
the goddess, eh?

Anyway, did you ever
meet any of Rex's, sorry,

sorry, rix's friends,
work colleagues?

No.

No one who might
have been foreign,

somebody might
have seen him with

we think he might've had
eastern European connections

possibly a Romanian,
someone like that.

No, don't ever recall him
having any acquaintances

of that kind.

[Bell rings]

Sorry, that's the end of break.

Oh, right, well, thank you.

Oh, did rix ever ask anyone
back to his, where he lived?

No, no, he never asked
anyone back to his flat.

But then again neither
did John or Julia.

I did, I invited you.

Oy, wait outside.

Takes me back.

[Groans] This is ridiculous.

Going to take me weeks.

No, I can't be
bothered with this.

They should get uniform in.

Why?

You not bothered,
about the case?

You a bit bored?

Cut it out, will you.

I didn't say I was bored.

Just don't think this is
part of my job's description,

that's all.

Oh, shit!

[Loud clatters]

Well done.

Leave me alone, Danny.

Oh for Christ's sake.

Oh, hello?

Hello, Eureka, Nemesis, my arse.

Fiona Kennedy,
forensic anthropologist.

I have the facial
reconstruction you wanted?

Yes, sorry, Dan gryphon.

This is Gerry standing.

Where's the 'ed?

Digital, more accurate,
less time-consuming.

Hmm.

I've got a laptop
over there, after you.

Wow!

Well hopefully, to get another
view you just press the...

Move it through
another rotational axis,

yes, you couldn't
do that in inversion.

You worked this
software before then?

Well, yes actually.

Good, it's extremely
tedious having to explain

all the other modifications

especially the
prismatic perception

and the secondary
feature delineation

which as you know, can
be extremely complicated.

Yes, yes, extremely complicated.

Oh, hi, dci Sasha Miller.

Dr. Fiona Kennedy,
forensic anthropologist.

Steve mcandrew, hello, hi.

Hello, there's your
head in the fridge.

Oh, wow, look at that.

Very life-like, isn't it?

That is the general idea.

I hope it helps, bye, thank you.

Well, excusez-moi.

She's a scientist, hasn't
got time for idle chit-chat.

Yeah.

What's happened to you?

Exhibit a, drugs.

Those tubs of whey
protein, are stuffed with them.

Nice work, if a little messy.

Did you want to
do hear the latest

about Roman in the gloaming?

And the dugdale's
told me that rix believed

in reincarnation when
he thought he'd once

been a real Roman gladiator

who went by the name
of, get this, Marcus Rex.

Told you, mad as a box of frogs.

That's according
to the dugdales.

Yeah and Tessa
dugdale also told me

that they'd never
been to rix's place,

but she knew it was a flat.

She could have got that
from newspaper reports.

Julia Kane seemed
pretty keen to downplay.

Rix being weird or angry.

Let's get this image out there.

But in the meantime,
I want to find out

about otway, the
dugdales and Julia.

Just something
doesn't seem quite right.

Course it doesn't, they dress
up as romans every weekend.

No, I don't mean that,
there's something else,

something odd, just
need to find out what it is.

Yeah, but how?

Go under cover.

The imperium may not
want to speak to u.C.O.S.

But I'm sure they'll speak
to a naive newcomer.

Like who?

Me.

You?

Yes, well, I haven't met
any of them before, have I?

Yeah, right, but
look, look, what about

all that Roman guff?

You won't know what
they're talking about.

[Dan speaks Latin]

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot,
you don't speak Latin.

[Ominous music]

[Chariot rumbles along]

[Swords clash]

And these people
honestly believe

the past is a better place.

Well, it's probably just a bit
more interesting, you know.

Hm, should try a Roman dentist.

It's a complete contrast
to the way we live

here and now.

How's Danny getting on?

He'll be a position in a minute.

He should be there by now.

Maybe he's had a better offer.

Didn't you notice him yesterday,

him and Mrs. Brainstorm.

Yeah, he fancied her
rotten, couldn't get a word out,

like a puppy dog.

Hey.

This all looks very authentic.

So you've based yourself on
the uniform of the 20th legion,

am I right?

Yeah, that's correct.

Good for you, I mean 14th
legion were terribly big headed,

and the second legion
were all cowards.

You've been on the website?

Ah, no, no, no, just interested.

More of a 2nd
century ad specialist.

But I have to say what you're
wearing is absolutely spot on.

Sorry, Roger Sanders.

John otway, how
interested are you?

We're always on the
lookout for new members.

Eh, no, I could never
afford anything like that.

Oh, don't worry about
that, we can provide it.

You have to take good
care of it, mind you.

Come along, we're
based in London.

Really, are you sure?

Mr. Otway, good afternoon,
you both look very Roman.

I'm sorry, but we have a display

in a couple of minutes.

Then I'll make this quick.

My colleague, Steve,
here, spoke to Tim yesterday

and Tim told him
about Mark rix believing

that he was reincarnated
as Marcus Rex.

[Otway scoffs]

Sounds like he was becoming
a bit divorced from reality.

Is that what scared you as well?

For god's sake, I
didn't say I was scared.

He was a bit weird

but that doesn't mean
we had anything to do

with what happened to him.

Just calm down okay?

You calm down, no, no,

you're asking questions in a
way that's trying to make out,

get off, I was somehow involved.

We were just be a
normal group of people.

Yeah, you look perfectly
normal to me, mate.

I suggest you shut
up and listen, okay?

You recognise this man?

No.

Tim, Tessa, no?

Great, thanks for your help.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thank you.

What was that all about?

It was a former member of ours.

A sword he might have
made, is then supposed

to have turned up and
been used in a killing

of another bloke.

It's a load of rubbish.

Anyway, tell me something

about these wonderful
bows and arrows.

[Clang of ironware]

Any ideas yet, whether
it was him, dad?

Where are you?

Where am I, what do you mean?

Is that a new shirt?

No, no, it's just a
plain old work shirt.

It is, isn't it?

It's a new shirt, are
you meeting someone?

No, of course not.

You are, you're meeting someone.

It's a woman isn't it?

Don't be ridiculous.

My god, I'm hardly out the
door, and you're on the pull.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

How old is she?

Is she good looking?

Holly, stop it, I'm working.

[Door clicks open]

Holly, I've got to go.

Yeah, that's what I
said, see you later.

All right, bye.

Hi.

Oh, hello.

Sorry to bother you,
especially at the weekend.

I just needed to,

I wanted to ask you something.

Oh.

What it is, is, um.

With the update, version
three, is the expansion facility

on the reconstruction
software still index-based?

You mean for adding
secondary features,

facial hair, glasses,
beards, et cetera?

Yes.

Yes.

Told you about that.

Yes, right, sorry, thanks.

Anything else?

No, no, that's fine.

[Phone beeps]

How did you know I
worked at the weekend?

Everything all right?

Yes, no, not important,
just my daughter.

I don't mean that my
daughter's unimportant.

I appreciate how assiduous
you have been Mr. Gryphon,

even though these visits
have often being very difficult

but I'm glad you're here because
since you came last month

there's been a development.

Development?

For about the last six weeks

we've been trialling a
different set of medication

and it's started to
prove quite effective

with, so far as your
wife is concerned,

very few side effects.

Go on.

It's early days, given the
way in which Sarah has

responded to this treatment,

I wanted you to be
prepared for the possibility

of a positive outcome.

Positive, what's your
definition of positive?

Well, as a result
of this new regimen

at some future point,
we could recommend

that she be discharged,
clearly given the terms

of the restriction order,
it can only happen

under rigid supervision.

Initially, probably
onto a low secure unit.

And if that was successful?

Then providing the
mental health unit

at the ministry of
justice was satisfied,

Sarah could be
considered suitable

for reintegration back
into the community.

A half-way house with the
support of a community site team.

If this were to happen, there
would then be the question

of where and to whose care
she would be finally entrusted.

In some cases, the
family of a patient

might agree to
take responsibility.

But I realised in this instance
that may prove difficult.

Of course Sarah would
have to adhere strictly

to the medication, the
seriousness of failing to do so

would be made very clear.

Of course you and
Holly would be informed

and involved in this process.

No, no, no, my,
my daughter won't,

she doesn't want
anything to do with it.

She won't be involved.

[Laughter]

Do you mind if I don't?

I don't think I can
see Sarah, not today.

Yeah.

[Footsteps recede]

Yeah, the other members
were a bit shocked weren't they?

But they didn't seem to
know who sandpit man was.

Tim didn't like it, did he?

Way over the top,
especially for a bloke

wearing a bleeding skirt.

There is nothing
wrong with men in skirts.

Hey, where's Julius
Caesar, by the way?

He should be here by now.

Talk of the devil.

How'd it go on Saturday
after we left, any joy?

Softly, softly, catchy monkey.

Did manage to get myself
invited to an imperium meeting

later on today, though.

Oh, well done you.

Did they say anything about us?

Minimal, didn't want to push it.

How long were you there?

Until after the display.

You should've stayed and
watched, it was fabulous.

So when's this lot going?

Ah, Interpol, they
have a positive ID

on the head
reconstruction image,

radu fumar.

[Steve] Oh yeah, brilliant,
that is spot on, that's him.

Yeah.

Romanian, ex olympic
weightlifter wanted

for operating an illegal
drugs lab and the manufacture

and supply of banned steroids.

One nil.

He escaped arrest
in Bucharest in 2006,

resurfaced in Hungary in 2007,
but then disappeared again.

Romanian police
believed that he had links

to Germany and the UK.

Interpol informed the drug
squad but since then nothing.

So, if he was all over Europe,

what's the betting that
rix uses these imperium

jollies to link up with him.

Well, now we have a name,
we can show imperium members

the photo see if
they recognise fumar.

Well, hold on, hold on,

some of them might be involved.

No, you don't
want to spook them.

What we need to do is talk

to someone who's daft
enough, not to realise.

Get onto the drug squad.

See what they know about fumar.

And we should make
a point of thanking, um.

Fiona.

Um, Dr. Kennedy, I mean.

I'll call the drugs squad.

Yup.

We're talking six years ago.

Justice never sleeps.

Yeah, I remember, he was Dutch.

Dutch?

Well, he said he was Dutch.

Try Romanian.

Really?

Anyway, that's
him, white Van man.

Big mate of, um.

Rix?

What was their relationship
like, were their close?

Were they friends, physical?

Did they argue?

Do they get angry?

You think they were gay?

I can't remember, just mates.

Right, thank you.

Cheers.

[Children calling]

Rix, fumar, drug network, all
under the cover of imperium.

You were right.

Wow, twice in three days.

Should I be worried?

Are you a full or a
part time stalker?

We identified the dead man.

Radu fumar,
Romanian drugs dealer.

We just wanted to say thank
you and how grateful we are.

You're married, I can tell.

So I'm not interested.

Sorry, besides, don't
go out with policemen.

I'm not a cop.

Well, I mean, not anymore.

And I'm not married.

But you've got a daughter.

Yes, but my wife and I.

Ah, so you do have a wife?

Yes, well, no, we're separated.

But you're not divorced.

No, well.

Well what?

I mean either you
are or you aren't.

What about you,
are you divorced?

Yes. Where's your wife now?

She's in a secure
psychiatric unit,

detained under a court order.

She was ill,
started to self harm

and then attack other
people, including me

and ended up trying
to drown our daughter

in the bath when she was 13.

So, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to,

I don't know why
I'm telling you all this.

I'm really sorry.

[Ponderous music]

[Car door slams]

[Hum of traffic]

We've had tremendous
feedback from Saturday.

The organisers
were really impressed

especially about our
interaction with the public.

Plus, three more schools
have asked us to go in

and do workshops for them.

So that's a big pat
on the back for Tessa.

[Group applauds]

Roger, you made
it, come in, come in.

Yet got another good thing
coming out of Saturday.

Well, I was just
listening to what you said

and I have to say I
had a really great time.

I mean, I was so impressed

with your dedication
enthusiasm, and attention to detail.

Let's see if we can't
get you measured up

as a member of imperium.

Oh!

Nice to see you again, hello.

Hi.

Strip down to your pants.

Don't worry, Tess
has seen it all before.

I won't actually
if you don't mind.

Maybe you could just
size me up for now.

Of course, you're quite tall

but I'm sure we can
find something to fit.

What size feet are you?

Oh, ah, 10.

Right, think you're going
to need to try these on.

Right, okay.

Well, I have to
say all these things

are absolutely beautiful,

especially the armour,
it looks really authentic.

We used to have it made for
us by one of our own members.

But he, er, died unfortunately.

Oh, was that the guy
the policemen were talking

about at the weekend?

Yeah.

Okay, listen up everyone
arrangements for Friday,

drivers you should all really
have your euro rail details.

We should aim to get to
the channel tunnel by four

which gives us plenty
of time to get to Bruges,

check into the hotel and
get out for the evening.

You're going abroad?

Yeah, we go about three
or four weekends a year

but this ones a really big one.

Societies coming from all over.

Germany, Holland, France, Italy.

There was a time
there was so few of us,

we could all just go
down in the one Van,

but now we have
to go in a convoy.

[They chuckle]

How are they, do they feel okay?

Yeah, great.

I mean, they're
really comfortable.

So, are you going to Belgium?

Mm-hmm.

How long are you going for?

Two or three days.

Oh right.

Julia?

Okay.

Bugger, um, forgotten something.

Ah, sorry, be right back.

[Dramatic music]

Oh, hi, I wasn't expecting
you back til tomorrow.

How did it go?

Julia Kane turned up.

At imperium?

I know her.

Eight years ago
when I was in murder,

she worked undercover with
the drug squad on a joint op,

only then she was Julia rickaby.

She's a fitness instructor.

Not then she wasn't.

Undercover, shit.

. Did she see you?

No, I managed to dash out.

Hey, groovy, by the way.

Don't even think about it.

No, no sandals and
socks, always a winner.

I didn't have time
to put my shoes on.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Sandals that the next
big thing, hey Gerry?

Did you leave your
coat in the hall?

Yeah, I got in touch
with the caretaker,

he's letting me in later.

You didn't leave
your u.C.O.S. ID?

No, no, no.

Julia Kane, undercover.

Right, okay, first thing
tomorrow, all back in,

we start this all over again.

Okay, okay, hey Danny, Danny,

did you, did you get to
put the whole outfit on?

You know...

Could you find a toga
that went with those socks?

I'm not rising to it.

Did you get a selfie?

Send it over to us.

Come on Gerry.

[Sasha] Out.

Good night.

Um, tomorrow morning,
I may be a little late.

I need to take
some personal time.

Are you in a hurry?

Now, I mean.

So this is probably
still a while away,

if it happens at all,
and this all happened

in the last few months?

Her condition is
neuro pathological.

They've always thought that
the right combination of therapy

and drugs would, um.

When I first knew her,

it was called being
lively and unpredictable.

So a lot of who she
was made life interesting.

Then over time, as the
years passed, it became more

erratic then interesting
and well, physical.

Physical?

She'd hurt herself and me.

I could restrain her, but, um,

so we got help.

I persuaded her to get help.

She was prescribed
medication, which sometimes

seemed to work,
sometimes didn't.

Sometimes she didn't take it,

not long before the
thing that happened,

she, she attacked a
man in a supermarket,

claimed that he was
trying to molest Holly.

It was my boss, he'd
been saying hello.

It was smoothed over.

He was very good about it, but,

she shouldn't have been alone

in the house.

I shouldn't...

Had she hurt Holly before?

No, never, but once is
enough, isn't it, to hurt?

No one believes that she
knew what she was doing.

I mean, she even
knew it was Holly, but,

that's not much comfort.

When you're lying awake
at two in the morning.

We met at school.

She's the only...

I loved her.

Listen, take all
the time you need.

Impossible, I
wouldn't live that long.

Thanks, all the same.

You know, these are
extremely comfortable.

[Solemn music]

I'll be in my office
if you need me.

Okay.

Hi, how are you?

Fine, and you?

[Sighs] They told you
about the medication?

They did, how's
it make you feel?

Like, like I've emerged
from something.

Dr. Lee said it altered
the way you saw things.

No, not the way I see
things, the way things are.

Yes, sorry I didn't mean to...

I mean, you look the same
Dan, but you're not, are you?

All this has changed you.

It has to have done.

I can feel it.

I can feel things like that now.

It's all right, I
don't blame you.

You've been incredibly patient.

You've been good.

Do you remember you
used to say that to me,

in the early days.

How good have you been?

Very good, more than
anyone has any right to expect.

You, you are,

and Holly?

How's she?

Yes, she's fine.

And college, she's
at college, newcastle.

Law and politics.

Yes, yes, I know.

Seeing anybody?

Holly?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Probably be the last
person to find out.

Really, oh, I don't think so.

I think you would know.

We'd both know, wouldn't we,

if there was somebody.

I certainly would, especially
now, which is good.

It's just so different.

It's like coming up for air

and then seeing you
the way you are now,

now everything's changed.

[Forlorn music]

I know what this
means to you, I do

and believe me, I know
how much you've tried.

You are a very good man.

Okay, rix, an
anabolic steroid user

and dealer is in
business with radu fumar,

his supplier.

Now, rix imports his
drugs, hidden in bins

of protein supplements.

Probably, uses his Van
to and from the continent

with trips for
imperium as a cover.

Thank you.

Julia Kane, working undercover,

infiltrates imperium
for the drug squad.

In which case, what
did the drug squad say?

Well, hello there, beginning
to think you'd got lost.

Or bored.

Never bored working with
you, Gerry, always an education.

Anyway, anyway, the
drug squad find out about

radu fumar through Interpol,

but he was never on their radar.

I checked Julia's records.

She was with the drug
squad until February '09.

Four months after rix's death.

Very hush hush.

But I think it's safe
to assume that Julia

wasn't at imperium
by chance, so.

Rix and fumar dying
would blow a hole

in any drugs ring.

So why aren't the drug
squad owning up to it?

Or more importantly,
taking the credit?

Well, maybe there's
someone else,

apart from Julia who's involved,

somebody who
needs to be protected?

Maybe the drugs squad
op just went tits up.

Fumar's death,
did rix act alone?

Was rix even responsible?

Rix's death, was
it just an accident?

And if it wasn't, why was
he killed, and who by?

Julia?

Someone at imperium?

The drug squad?

Why did Julia leave the force?

What if it wasn't about drugs?

Come on, fumar?

Rix.

And what about otway?

He's a drayman, for god's sake.

His delivery trucks
are perfect cover

for dropping off drugs.

And we know he
knew rix from the gym.

Exactly.

Plus, he organises all
imperium trips to Europe.

Okay, what about Tim dugdale?

Why did he lose it when
we asked him about rix?

This is ridiculous.

It's just question
after question.

We must be missing something.

What is it we're missing?

Yeah, but how do we find
out what we're missing?

Well, there is one
way, shake the tree.

Put it out there that we know
that there's more to all this,

shake the tree.

Excellent, now, slow
it down, slow it down.

Great, step off, lovely.

See you next week, well done.

Julia, hi, brought a
colleague with me,

Dan gryphon, I believe
you know each other.

It's naughty of you, Julia,
keeping me in the dark

about your previous employer.

I find it often avoids
complications.

Well then let's
keep this simple.

We know about
fumar's links to rix

and the elicit steroids
they're dealing in.

How much did you know?

Strictly off the record?

We, the drug squad,
did know about rix

and we're pretty sure
how he's getting his drugs

into the UK, but we never
knew where he kept them.

It was the lock up.

Plus, we never
knew his supplier.

We certainly never
made the link to fumar.

Whose death was
never tied to rix.

How could it be, you were
the first people to ID his body.

Imperium were about
to take a trip abroad.

We were all set to go.

And then, bang, rix
is an ex drug dealer.

Wrecks everything, I'm pulled
out, the operation shuts down.

Not our finest hour.

The others at imperium,
otway, was he involved?

I don't know, it's possible,
but we could never be sure.

The dugdales?

Unlikely, they were just
pair of love-sick teachers,

as far as I could see.

You left the force
only four months

after rix's death, why?

I didn't like the way
things were wrapped up.

Or the way I was
treated afterwards.

Go on.

People, I won't
say who, put it about

that perhaps I'd
been less than careful.

That I'd not been doing my
job as an undercover cop.

People who have not a
single clue how tiring, shitty,

and dangerous that stuff is.

So I just thought stick it.

Does that answer your question?

Thank you, thank you
for being so straight.

Oh, one other thing.

Did you ever find his diary?

Diary?

Yeah, apparently
he wrote it every day.

A diary?

Yeah.

Rix? Are you sure?

I never saw him with one.

We found reference to it
stuff that was in the lock up.

He obviously
used it to keep a list

of his day-to-day appointments,
meetings, his expenditure,

stuff like that.

It's annoying because
it's obviously very detailed,

and it's in there somewhere.

The only place we think
he might have hidden it,

is in his lock up.

You know, in a secret
panel or something.

I have no idea.

I told you, I know nothing
about his personal life.

You finished?

[Ominous music]

[Flick of a lighter]

You want a hand?

Uh, naughty.

Evening Tessa.

There is no diary, is there?

No.

I don't understand Tessa,

you don't look like a
drug dealer to me or user.

I'm not.

Well, then, why Tessa?

Talk to me, what happened?

Tessa, two men died.

One, maybe both, were murdered.

We will get there in the end.

[Tessa cries]

Tessa, stop, look at me.

[Tessa sobs]

Look at me.

Oh, shit, what did he do?

What did rix do to you?

He raped me.

I went for a drink with him.

Alone?

Yes, I wasn't
married yet, to Tim,

we were engaged and I
found him attractive, I mean.

Rix.

Yeah, sounds
strange, doesn't it.

That's what you're thinking,
you think, how could she?

No, I don't think that.

When he first joined, he
wasn't like he was at the end.

He was almost nice, really.

I mean he was a bit of a
fantasist, you know, a gladiator.

I thought he was
just putting it on.

I found it kind of funny,
sort of appealing really,

but,

he wasn't putting it on.

Tessa, you went for a drink.

Hm, oh yeah.

We went to a bar,
near where he lived.

That way, that way
Tim wouldn't find out.

That was when he put
something in my drink.

He drugged you.

You sure?

I only had one.

I didn't even finish it.

I know now I was drugged.

Then he took me
back to his flat.

I had no idea what was
happening, happened,

until the next day.

I didn't go to
work for four days.

Told Tim I was sick, which
was sort of true, really, I was.

You didn't tell Tim?

[Dan] I think he suspects.

Who did you tell, Tessa?

You had to have told somebody?

Tess, you did, didn't you?

No.

You had to, who was it?

In the end, who
did you tell Tess?

Otway?

No, Julia?

Julia.

[Sasha] Julia.

Yes, but not until a week later.

She was furious, angry that
I'd waited so long because...

[Dan] Because?

Well, because by then it
was too late to press charges.

The drug he used
was out of my system.

That was when I broke
down, but Julia was fantastic.

She said

a man like rix,
he'd do it again,

unless he was stopped.

She said, why not do to
him what he'd done to me?

Sorry, what, what did she mean?

Drug him,

drug rix.

And then when he was
helpless, do something to him,

something to remember me by.

And did you?

What, what did you do Tess?

When I saw him again,
at imperium, he just

smiled at me.

He grinned,

so I got him alone.

I told him, he
didn't understand.

I'd wanted to have sex with him.

I was just angry because
I couldn't remember it.

And he responded to that?

Of course, he was a man.

So we arranged to meet, again.

I went to his flat,
we had a drink.

And when he wasn't
looking, I put stuff

in his whiskey.

Stuff?

A drug, flunie.

Flunitrazepam, it's a sedative.

How did you get
hold of it, the drug?

From Julia.

She said she knew
where we could get some.

The problem was, he
had this sort of reaction,

just keeled over, dead.

He just died.

I never wanted that.

I hated him, but I
didn't want him dead.

The drug squad aren't even
going to admit there was ever

an operation against rix.

It's hardly surprising, is it?

Given what happened.

No wonder Julia left the met.

Yeah, drug squad must've
been bricking themselves.

Why, why would you
do something so stupid?

Gerry standing, u.C.O.S.

Yeah, she's right here.

I'll tell her.

Julia Kane, she says
yes, but only you.

We have to stop meeting
like this, people talk.

They already have.

So I hear, you
charged her, Tessa?

Not yet, she told us all
about your involvement.

Really?

Flunitrazepam, you
supplied her with the drug.

You have proof of that?

Just Tessa's word then.

A woman who was drugged, raped

and utterly devastated
by her experience.

You'd be happy to put her
in a witness box, would you?

Anyway, tell me, what
proof do you have?

You worked for the drug squad.

You never told her that.

No, well, I was undercover,
clue's in the title, next?

Okay, how about this?

You knew that an
excessive amount

of alcohol mixed
with flunitrazepam.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was a police
officer, not a pharmacist.

You went to his
flat after he died.

You cleared the
place of any evidence,

any trace of the drug,
anything that would incriminate

you or Tessa.

You planned this and you
used Tessa to carry it out.

You're saying if
Tessa did do this

it's because rix raped her.

Rix's a truly appalling human
being as evidenced by row

upon row of empty
pews at his funeral.

You're a police officer.

You should have known better

than to take the law
into your own hands.

Oh, please, and what
if you're like Tessa?

For whom law doesn't
work, if the law fails you.

If you know, there's nothing
you can do, what then?

And just so it's clear

for the sake of
anyone listening in,

I'd like you to tell me this,

what good would it do?

What purpose would it serve

pursuing this
particular investigation?

Even if, as I say, you
had any real proof.

Not exactly the result
we were looking for.

We could always Nick Julia

for stealing and
supplying drugs.

Oh, please.

It's just a thought.

What she did was mad.

I mean, it was so risky.

Got away with it
though, up to now.

Yeah, and the drug
squad just pushed her out

the back door
and put a lid on it.

Do you think husband Tim
knew what happened to Tessa?

Well, probably eventually.

I mean, maybe that's
why he got so wound up

when we were
banging on about rix.

Wouldn't want us rattling
any cages, would he,

for a load of reasons.

At least now we know
how rix subdued fumar.

Drugs on a chemist, bit ironic.

Yeah, he'd have been helpless,

probably didn't even
know what was going on.

And then he was slaughtered.

Like I said, all along,
dispute over drug money.

What did strickland say?

He says, we're not
going to arrest Julia Kane,

but there will be an
internal investigation.

Oh, blimey.

They do the dirty work

and let the cps pick
the bones out of it.

Well, I didn't think
I'd ever say this,

but that's one call i'm
glad we don't have to make.

There's a lot of
people in this world

nobody's going to miss and
rix is certainly one of them.

Fumar is probably on a par,

and what Juliet
Kane did was not right

but Tessa dugdale,
she didn't know

this was going to happen.

And your point is?

What does Tessa deserve?

We're not judges, Steve.

I'm not talking about judgement.

I'm talking about
what she deserves

and she doesn't
bloody deserve this.

[Car toots, loudly]

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Do you want to come for lunch?

Lunch, you mean now?

Well, lunch is
normally now, isn't it?

Um, sorry, how did you find me?

I'm a forensic anthropologist,
I'm highly intelligent.

Come on.

Yes, I'd like that very much.

Well, she's got good taste.

Good taste?

I'm talking about
the car, your dope.

Oh, yeah.
