All language subtitles for Strike 3 Career of Evil S03E02_[English] (SUBRIP)

We've been sent a leg.

- A human leg.

Whose leg did you think it was?

It might be a girl
called Brittany Brockbank.

Do you still think
it's one of those three men?

Whittaker got away
with murder twice.

Laing charmed everyone while
he kept his wife terrified.

Brockbank was a child rapist
who managed

to convince everyone that
he was the injured party.

Careful exiting the hotel.
We were followed last night.

- Robs, please, I haven't even..

We just found
the young woman's body

in a building
in Whitechapel High Street.

'We found it was you
that invited her there.'

You've never met her?
Kelsey Platt.

* You and me *

* Me and you *

* Somehow we make it through *

* I may be gone *

* I may be far away *

* But I'll walk beside you *

* Every step of the way *

* When you're used bruised *

* Black and blue *

* Don't think about it *

* Never doubt it *

* I'll walk beside you **

'Let's start
with the photograph.'

Sent to the papers
by a concerned friend.

Is that right?

Pedophile and murder suspect.

It's not a popular spot
on the Venn diagram.

Do you think
the photo's doctored?

No.
Excuse me, is this seat taken?

- No.
- Thanks.

Simple as that.

If you're trying
to make me look dodgy

at some point,
I'll look up at the same moment

you're looking at me.

'The photo taken
in that split second'

will make it look like
we're havin' a conversation.

You find the person
who took that photograph

you'll have Kelsey's killer.

And it's probably
someone she trusted.

What else?

That girl's wearing a vest top,
so it was warm weather.

Probably taken at least
five months ago.

And she's reading a magazine.

If the papers were sent
a hi-res image

that will help you date it.
Anything else?

Kelsey's holding
a bottle of water.

Who goes to a coffee shop
to sit and drink water?

I'd skew toward saying
she came specifically

to sit next to me
rather than to enjoy

a freshly prepared
caffeinated beverage.

You seem annoyed.

Have you found the three men
I told Wardle about?

I can't discuss that with you.

Because it's now a part
of a murder investigation.

Exactly.

I don't care, I'll pay the fine.

I have asthma.

Sorry.

Do we have a printout of Donald
Laing's fundraising page?

'Uh, yeah, somewhere.
Where are you?'

I just had a social
down at the station.

'
- Yes, me.

So we'd better get a move on.

Just coming up now.

'This is the Strata building,
Elephant and Castle.'

We can use this to work out
what block he lived in.

There's no guarantee
he's still there.

Great.

I called Brockbank last night.

He suggested meeting
in Shoreditch

but then he hung up on me.

Well, you know, he has a history
of bouncing around strip clubs.

I thought that'd be
a good place to start.

I think he's living
with a little girl.

Okay.

'Head down
to Elephant and Castle.'

'If you see Laing,
keep your distance.'

No walking after dark,
keep on the busy routes.

Yes, I have done
counter-surveillance.

If it was up to me, you'd stay
in Yorkshire till he's caught.

He addressed the leg to you.
He followed you.

That's the pattern
we have so far.

I know, and I will be careful.

'Right.
So, you're checking out Laing.'

I'll look for Brockbank.

'Do you know this guy?'

No, I don't think so, mate.
Sorry.

Have you been here before,
darling?

No.

- Yeah, I think so.

You wanna dance,
private dance with me?

I'm looking for a friend.

I'll be your friend.

Not that kind of friend, sadly.

Perhaps you know my friend.
Noel Brockbank.

- He owes me some money.
- Des fired him.

You're no use as a bouncer

if you have a fit
and piss yourself.

Would anyone here
have his address?

I think he lives with Alyssa.

'She's got
the worst taste in men.'

- Mm-hmm.

Des fired her as well.

There's some council flat
over in Bow.

She bitches about it

but she likes the nursery
her kids are in, so..

Could you introduce me to Des?

Thanks for the drink, darling,
but I reckon you're trouble.

Normally, I like trouble.

What is it

'Uh, nothing, I'm fine.'

I found Laing's block.

It could be one
of a hundred flats, but..

Well, make sure you're home
before sunset.

'
- Expensive.

'Look, put yourself
in a cab now. I can't--'

Cormoran, you have
to stop treating me

like I'm part of the problem.

'I'm having dinner with my mum
tonight around the corner'

'from work,
so I will be perfectly safe.'

Right.

Matt shouldn't have called you.

I'm glad he did.

Well, I'm not stopping doing
this job. Not for anyone.

Whatever you do, you'll always
have mine and your dad's

full support, but, Robin,
I do think it's time

to make a decision.
The wedding day's nearly here.

You seen this guy?
Donald Laing?

No.

Thank you.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- No.

Would you like to come back
to Masham for a bit?

- Be a bit looked after.
- No.

Sorry.

I didn't, I didn't mean it
like that. I just, um..

I worry I'd f..

I, I worry I'd feel
like I did before.

Like I was...shutting
out the world, and..

...I want to stay in it.

Is that the famous
Cormoran Strike?

- Donny Laing.

Not on license or anything?

I'm a private investigator now.

Oh, dear.

Well, what are you
here for then?

I recently spoke
to a woman in Corby.

- That's right.

I never hurt her,
you understand?

Lesson learned
first fuckin' time.

Did you steal her jewelry?

You've come to find..

That was years ago.

Well, it had sentimental value.

Well, tell her I'm sorry

but her stuff's long gone.

It's the truth.
I don't feel good about it.

I'll pass that back to her.

What, is that it from you?

Yeah.

Fine private investigator
you turned out.

Trackin' down old bits of tar.

That's 500 pounds.

It can be the deposit
on renting a flat of your own

or it can be a pair of really
beautiful wedding shoes.

Cormoran?

Thanks.

I, uh, came back
for some files and you were..

Look, I've, um,
been given some money.

'Oh, it's only 500 quid'

but if we don't pay the bills

we won't be able
to work here anymore.

Someone's trying to destroy me.

I think I make a fairly
poor prospect for investment.

Under the circumstances

you're better off
putting it on a horse.

Uh, I'm better off here.

Let me do this for us.

- Shit!

- Slept through a date.
- Oh.

- Swedish, pretty.

Doesn't give a fuck.

Sounds perfect.

I should go to bed.

'Thanks for Donald Laing,
by the way.'

'But it's a dead end.'

'Guy's even more crippled
than I am.'

I really don't like
you being out after dark.

- Take a cab.
- Sure.

'Night.'

Night.

'What's all this?'

Uh, I made that Nigel Slater
salmon thing you like.

Thanks.

I ate with mum.

- She's fine.

'Good.'

'Look, I've got something
I need to say to you.'

What I did was unforgivable.

I was 21.

I was in so much pain.

I was incredibly lonely,
and I made a mistake.

You are the love of my life..

...and I want to marry you.

More than anything,
that's what I want.

But that's for you
to decide, so..

...I'm askin' you again.

And if you say no,
I'll accept it

and I'll leave the flat
in the mornin'.

I love him, darling.

One day, you'll feel like that
about somebody.

Went for the knife, very good.

'I'm just checking the locks.'

And see, your door
at the back, there is, um..

Well, it's not adequate.

'I need to get back
to Masham for a few days'

for dress fittings and stuff.

I know it's not great timing,
but is that okay?

No, it's..

It's good.
Keep you out of harm's way.

Good.

Well, just stick
a padlock on that.

Where's mum?

You've never met her?

Kelsey Platt.

Look..

Oh, my God, it's you.

I need to ask you
about your sister.

- Please.
'

It's, uh, it's Cormoran Strike.

Why is he here? Close the door.

Um, wait.
Yeah, can

Yeah.

'You saw those photos
of him and Kelsey.'

Look, I know what you're saying,
but the, the police say

they think he got set up.

How is he even allowed
to come here?

I know, but...
but Kelsey looked up to him.

Yeah, and look where she is now.

'Look, sorry,
I know she was your sister'

'but I cared about her too.'

'Talk to him if you want.
I won't.'

- I think you could come in.
- Thank you.

Alright. Do you wanna sit down?

Could I, uh..

Yeah.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I suppose the police have
asked you a lot of questions.

Yeah, was I workin'.

Had solid statements
from colleagues, pay slips..

Uh, right up
to printin' off photos

of him and Ritchie fishin'.

Boat wasn't still up.

'They were away
that week in Wales.'

And now, we're the ones
who've lost her.

- Do you mind if I..
- No.

Do you have any idea who might
have got close to Kelsey?

No, uh,
she didn't have many friends.

'She came and lived with us
after our mum died.'

But there was always
the age gap, so..

I don't know.

- Uh, it's upstairs.

You didn't do it, did you?

No. I didn't.

You alright?

Mm.

You should redecorate in here.

It will always be
your room, love.

You stupid bastard.

'Ray said it felt like
you were attackin' Hazel.'

Can you imagine if he'd gone
to the papers instead of us?

Murder suspect shows up
at grieving relatives' house

and demands
to check their alibis.

- That is not what I was--
- You went there.

It's unbelievable.

So what do you think
I should do?

Well, stay out of it,
work your own cases.

Nobody wants to hire
a detective who's accused

of being a pedophile
and a murderer.

Can't afford the rent
on this place next month.

I'll have to make
my partner redundant

while she's on her honeymoon.

So what exactly
do you suggest I do

while someone's cutting up
little girls on my account?

We need you to trust us
to do our job.

The three names I gave you,
who've you found?

We're still makin' enquiries.

'Right, Whittaker's in Catford.'

'Laing was in Corby but is
now in Elephant and Castle.'

And Brockbank just got fired
from a strip club in Shoreditch.

And-and your suggestion
is that I just sit back

and wait for London's finest to
plod along to the finish line?

By the time you figure things
out, I'll be on the street

and Robin will be dead.

We're on your side, you idiot.

I'm sorry.
I don't know what else to do.

Oh, uh, it's Zaharah's mum.

Look, I haven't been gettin'
any letters from you lot.

'I was thinking maybe
you got my address wrong.'

Shh.

Piss off.

It's Alyssa, Zaharah's mum.

No?

Oh, it's alright, it's alright.

No worries, thanks. Thanks.

- That was horrific.
- It's work.

Hiya, it's Alyssa,
Zaharah's mum.

Look, I've not been gettin'
letters for a while.

I was just checking
that you're not

still using the old address.

Ah! Yeah, no,
that's fine, that's..

That's the right one, yeah.

Which number are you usin'?

Plate for the meat,
come on, come on. Ow!

Ooh. You make a gravy, love.

Darling, Matthew's on the phone.

'Is he alright?'

Matt, are you okay?

A what?

A friend of Matthew's.
Here to check if he's alright.

Okay. Incoming.

'Robin asked me
to check in on you.'

I'm fine, thanks.

'The police have got
everything covered.'

Well, she's driving down now.

You know that, obviously.

What would it take
for you to let her go?

- She's been followed.

She's had body parts
sent to her.

She's had her flat broken into

by someone who butchers women.

I mean, you're just gonna, like,
see what happens to her next?

I understand you're having
a difficult morning.

Robin's good at what she does.

She's very good.
She manages the risks.

If she ever decides
to hand in her notice

that'll be her decision

but I would try
to persuade her to stay.

The police will watch
your flat at night.

I don't think he'll try
anything here again.

You mean,
you don't know anything.

Really, though. Do you?

It's proving challenging.

Hiya.

- Oh, he's fine.

- He went to work in the end.

I spent about an hour
checkin' the flat over

and bleaching everything.

- You know, the police--
- Yeah, I know. I just..

I got an exact address
for Brockbank.

I called around
all the nurseries in Bow

pretending to be Alyssa
until one of them

finally confirmed they have
my address details right.

Very clever.

Let's just find this guy.

I can't go back to Whittaker.
He saw me.

But the person
we're looking for is careful.

Deliberate.
Doesn't feel like Whittaker.

But I don't know.

I'll watch Whittaker.

It's a long--
- I'll watch Whittaker.

- Yeah.

- Ta.
- 'Thank you.'

Gosh.

Are you alright?

Oh, you look like you're having
one of those days.

I just thought.. Uh, order
what you want. I'll pay.

'Cheers.'

- Hmm.

Did your boyfriend do this?

- 'He's goin' away.'

I didn't want him to go.
That's why he's done it.

I, I think
he's got someone else.

H-he says he's only going
with the band.

But I don't believe him.

What sort of music does he play?

Metal.
The band's called Death Cult.

He's lead guitar.

- Yeah. They're good.

'What's this?'

What's your name?

- You made a little friend.
- No.

Uh, actually,
I was just leaving.

Oh, really?
Seems like such a shame.

- Nice to meet you, Stephanie.
- Fuck off.

Obviously, you're not such
good friends after all.

And you've obviously
tried very hard.

Just being kind, were you?

I was just concerned.
She looked a bit beaten up.

Oh, I wouldn't worry
too much about her.

She can be a clumsy
little bitch at times.

Get help for that tooth.

Is everything okay?
Are you still out? It's late.

Yeah, but I'm heading back now.

Listen, I spoke to Stephanie

and Whittaker's in a band
called Death Cult.

Hang on.

'
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I was just looking something up.
I've taken a wrong turn.

Where are you?

I've just gone under
the shopping precinct.

Have you seen something?

No. No, I'm fine.
I'm just a bit jumpy.

'Where exactly are you?
Street name?'

Well, I'm not quite sure
this has a name, actually.

'Robin!'

Robin.

Robin!

'Robin.'

He caught me.

Sorry, I messed up.

'I'm not here to tell you off.'

How did you manage to--

I told you,
I did a self-defense course.

He grabbed me from behind,
so I did what they taught me.

Kneed him in the groin.

Whittaker's disappeared.
They're looking for him.

I just..

Whittaker's sort of thin,
and he..

The guy that attacked me
had a-a different build.

Uh, I looked up
Whittaker's band.

They had a gig the night
Kelsey was killed.

I just..

I don't think it was him.

I still want to work.

Well, you've got
your wedding to think about.

Don't patronize me. Thanks.

You can leave us alone now.
Robin needs her rest.

Matthew's right.
You should rest.

Cormoran, what are we doing
about Brockbank?

The police are watching him.

'Well, it's not where he goes.'

It's what he does
inside the flat.

We can't save everyone.

You were nearly killed tonight.

'Let someone else
take this one on.'

Cormoran, we can't
leave him with children.

- Fine, I need to rest.
- I get why you wanna help--

I need to rest.

Back in a minute.

Cormoran, this has to end.

She's barely trained and you
send her out with no support?

You're a sociopath.

Hello?

'Is that Ray?
This is Cormoran Strike.'

I'd like you and Hazel to look
at some photos of suspects.

Th-they're not great pictures,
but they might jog your memory.

Hazel needs some space.

Don't you understand that,
fella?

Oh, sorry. One second.

Uh, can I just have a minute?
Thanks.

Shanker, hi.
Thanks for calling back.

Yeah, he, uh, he told me
to give you a call.

I need some help.

Sayin' the girl's to get her
stitches out, innit?

Hang on a sec.

If that Cormoran Strike calls
while I'm away, hang up.

I don't trust him.

I'm just poppin' out.

- Um, police interview.

Can't I come too?

'Well, they want me
to have a look'

at some stuff
they can't take off-site.

'Are you sure you're okay?'

Yeah, I'm fine.
I won't use the arm.

- She's coming.

'Fit black girl, two kids.'

Positive you don't want me
in there?

No. No, keep an eye out for him.

- Ooh.

It's alright, darlin'.

- Alyssa.

Uh, could I have a word?

It's about Noel.

- 'Um..'

Could we talk inside?
It's important.

Upstairs, Angel.
Take your sister.

I, um..

Well, spit it out then.

My name's Robin.

I'm a...investigator.

Cou-could we, um..

Look, this is gonna be

quite hard to hear

but during the course of a case

we've been working on,
we found out--

Sorry, who's this we?

So, I..

I work for an agency that's run
by a guy called Cormoran Strike

and we've been looking
into Noel's--

Alright, then.
You can get out now.

No, I-I really--

'Now, I know
who Cormoran Strike is.'

He gave my boyfriend epilepsy.
Just get out.

- Please. Alyssa, please.
- Right now.

- Just listen to this--
- Well, he sent him up.

Ruined his marriage.
I know all about you lot.

Noel sexually abuses young
girls. I am really sorry, but--

Get out of my house before
I give you a proper smack.

He has been doing it
for a long time.

Just ask your daughters.

- Get out!
- Ow! Ah!

Mum.

Just ask her.

Upstairs, Angel, now!

What's goin' on?
You alright, Angel?

'Noel, this bitch
is telling lies about you.'

Is she now?

Said she's with Cormoran Strike.

Look after Angel.

You're not phonin' anyone.

Stay there.

He done it to me.

'What?'

What's the idea?

Bargin' into people's houses,
upsettin' their kids, eh?

What the lady said.

W

Now she barks at Strike.

Ah, Shanker!

Shanker!

You dirty nonce. I'll skin ya.

- Shanker, do not stab him.
- No.

Why didn't you say
anything, darlin'?

Because he said
he'd hurt Zaharah.

- Look, we're actually--
- I don't care.

Robin!

'I told you we were leaving
Brockbank to the police.'

- I know.
- 'And you went in anyway.'

He was raping Alyssa's daughter.

Wardle thinks
I sent you in there.

And now, thanks to you,
Brockbank's vanished.

- Don't you dare put that on me.
- I do.

If you hadn't messed up,
Brockbank would have been

in prison years ago.

Laing is a cripple.
You ruled out Whittaker.

That means that Brockbank
was our number one suspect

and now he's off the radar.
We're finished.

- You don't mean that.
- I'll send your last salary on.

Quick and clean.
Gross misconduct.

It's probably
for the best, love.

Goodbye forever,
Cormoran Strike.

- Hello.
- 'Uncle Ted.'

Oh, hello, Cormoran.

Were you at mum's grave
recently?

'I wasn't, but I had
a friend pop something'

'on the grave
for the anniversary.'

It's sea holly, isn't it?

Not much to look at right now.

But come June,
it'll be rather special.

Call me next time
you're up, alright?

- 'Right.'
- Take care.

'Bye.'

Gotcha.

Donnie did some work
for Mrs. Williams

across the road.

Eighty-seven with a lawn to cut

and all her family
have gone abroad.

Why is he here? Close the door.

Is that the famous
Cormoran Strike?

I need the number
for the fire service.

Not the emergency number,
the one for people

who hire firemen.

'Let me guess.
You want a favor.'

I need you to watch my back.

Can you meet me at Elephant
at 8:00?

- 'Right.'
- I'll text you the address.

'Cheers.'

Donnie. That you, Donnie?

What's that smell?

Gas. I got a call from upstairs.
Probably coming from here.

We're not gonna get blown up,
are we?

Well, don't light
any cigarettes.

Shit. Alright.

Um, is Donnie in there?
He owes me 40 quid.

Afraid I can't help you, mate.

Cheers.

Where are you, bastard?

Bunsen?

'Bunsen!'

'Bunsen!'

'Bunsen!'

'What's going on?'

'Bunsen, open up!'

'Calls to this number
have been blocked.'

'What kept you?'

This steel door.

'They're still cleanin' up
but Forensics think'

'there's more than one body
in there.'

'So, what made you think Ray
and Laing were the same person?'

The photo Ray gave the police
has him on the beach

next to sea holly in full bloom

supposedly in April.

It was like
the coffee shop photo.

- It was staged.

Yeah.

Sea holly doesn't flower
in the wild till June.

'If you find
the other bloke, Ritchie'

I'm sure he'll tell you
that it was taken last year.

Height of summer, but they put
coats on to try and look cold.

Ritchie probably thought
he was taking part

in a benefit scam or something.

I'm imagining
Ritchie's none too clever.

There was a certificate
for bravery

hanging in Kelsey's
sister's house.

I called the fire service.

'The real Ray Williams,
Mrs. William's son'

'retired to Spain
six years ago.'

Laing stole his identity.

He was good at accents
and he spent a lot of money

disguising his appearance.

He even managed to find a girl

who'd made the mistake
of having a crush on me.

I'll come down to the station
tomorrow morning.

Sounds good.

We picked up Brockbank.

Get some sleep.

Daddy wouldn't do that.

I didn't mean any of it.

I'm a friend of Brittany.

- Won't be long.
- Alright.

What'll happen to him now?

Nothing that involves you.

He'll be tried and put away
for a very long time.

And when he's released, he'll be
on the sex offender's register.

For life.

That's good.

I wanted you to know...
before, you know.

He should've been put in prison
a long time ago.

We failed you there, Brittany.

I failed you.

You believed me, though.

And you tried.

That helped a lot.

Was it you who caught him?

No. It was my partner.

- No.

- But she did it anyway.
- Yep.

Is she alright?

She's a bit bruised,
but she'll live.

Will you thank her for this?

What's her name, your partner?

Her name is Robin.

We've got a second stop.
Yorkshire.

- Yorkshire.

The county. You know, Yorkshire.

Just keep going north
till I tell you to stop.

- Put your foot down.
- It's down.

- Put it down further.
- Jesus.

I am not havin' this
for the next hundred miles.

At last, you solved it then,
innit?

Better being
the hero of the hour.

Yeah.

I mean, there's no
fixing everything, but..

Nah, nah, there's not much,
just life, innit, mate?

What's the deal then, Bunsen?

You're gonna full on graduate?

Elaine! Elaine!

What about me?

No, I was invited.
I'm a friend, a guest.

Oh, you're a friend? Yeah,
right. You sacked her, mate.

That's not exactly a friend
where I come from.

- Reminds me of your mum.

Who? Your Robin.

She kind, isn't she?

Right away,
she wanted to save that kid.

Well, I'm going to try
and get her back, aren't I?

But next time she calls you,
if she calls you--

Yeah, alright, yeah,
I'll call you first.

- Yeah, alright.

Jesus, dad.

'First, I'm required
to ask anyone present'

who knows a reason
why these persons

may not lawfully marry
to declare it now.

Do, you, Matthew John Cunliffe

take Robin Venetia Ellacott
to be your wife?

Will you love her, comfort her

honor and protect her

and forsaking all others

be faithful to her

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

'Do you, Robin Venetia Ellacott'

'take Matthew John Cunliffe
to be your husband?'

'Will you love him, comfort him'

honor and protect him

and forsaking all others,
be faithful to him

'as long as you both
shall live?'

Sorry.

I do.
