Thank you.

Phone rings

Gerry, what do you
want? It's my day off.

Yeah, I know and I'm sorry
about that, but I need your help.

Why, what's happened? No,
no, no - nothing like that, it's just...

Listen, I'm giving
up cigarettes.

Gerry! Well done!
That's fantastic!

And I just wondered whether
you'd be my fag buddy? Your what?

Fag buddy - you know, someone who
helps somebody else give up smoking.

Oh, right, yeah, of
course. No, I'd love to help.

Yeah, but you've got to keep
encouraging me, all right?

Make sure I don't waver.

"Make cigarettes history!"

Absolutely. Good
man. Keep it up.

Oh, I will, yeah. Cheers, bye.

Bye.

You idiot! You should
be ashamed of yourself!

I thought I was early.

Strickland's away.

Anywhere nice? He left us this,

with a covering note.

"Dear Sandra, this file arrived
on my desk today. It is unusual

"in having only recently
ceased being an active enquiry,

"but knowing of your
specific expertise dealing with

"this kind of crime in the past,

"the commissioner is eager for
ucos to be involved not merely

"due to your particular skills,
but because of the real danger

"that the perpetrator
will strike again."

"This kind of crime"? Rape?

Yeah, two of them in 1999.

Ooh, at the pyramid
chocolate factory in greenford.

Then after a ten year gap, there
was another attack 12 months ago

the back room of a shop
in totteridge. Helen vestry.

Operation sapphire investigated
that attack and they linked DNA

from it to the
rapes back in '99.

Mo was exactly the same.

Any suspects? No. Both
investigations drew a blank.

What about the mo?

All three were attacked from
behind and in total darkness.

They said he wore gloves,

but none of them recall seeing anything more
of the guy. Oh, and he never spoke. Is that it?

They all said that he smelled
strongly of sweat. Thank you.

This bloke doesn't have
anything going for him, does he?

What about where the rapes took
place? Any link? Only the darkness.

Jean Saunders was raped in the
women's changing room at pyramid

just after her shift ended at
6pm. All the lights went out

just before she was attacked,
and then a week later, Eileen

was assaulted on the shop
floor of the factory around nine.

Again, all the lights
were turned off.

Why didn't they do a mass
DNA screening? They did.

All the men employed by pyramid,

plus security, delivery
men, contract cleaners,

but none of their DNA
matched that of the rapist's.

What about last year?
The most recent attack.

Helen vestry was attacked as she was closing up
the shop at which she worked. Again, pitch black.

Long time, isn't it,
between attacks?

Well, the bloke could have been
anywhere - abroad, prison, anything.

Possibly, but given that
most rapes are not reported,

I think there's a good chance he
has committed more in between.

They're all very similar,
these women, aren't they?

Blonde, petite,
in their twenties.

Physically very easy to subdue.

Not a coincidence then.

He observes them,
singles them out.

For some, the biggest
kick is the actual preparation

and build-up to the
assault, not the attack itself.

That would explain
the extreme sweating.

You know, he gets excited
about successfully carrying out

a carefully planned operation.

Are the victims willing to talk?
Jean Saunders has since died

of cancer, but the other
two have agreed to meet.

You and I'll talk to them -
you guys go to the factory.

Now, operation sapphire
haven't spoken to Eileen Harrison

or anybody else at pyramid about this last
attack, so probably a good idea not to mention it

and needless to say this is a
very sensitive investigation so...

For god's sake, look at us - we've
handled hundreds of these cases,

and you're telling us
we've got to be sensitive!

Gerry's given up smoking.

What! You?! Ahhh,
that's why you're so ratty.

I am not ratty! What's
brought this on all of a sudden?

Well, I had to see the
doctor and he said at my age

I should have given up by now.
So you can't argue, can you, really?

Well, I am delighted,
congratulations.

Helen vestry?

Sandra Pullman? Yes, this is
my colleague, Jack halford. Hello.

Thanks for agreeing
to see us. Not at all.

Anything if it helps catch the
shit-bag. It's through the back.

Here. I just came
in to close up...

I did that most nights, and
next moment the lights went out,

he grabbed me from behind
and, well, he did what he did.

The operation sapphire team said that you
didn't hear him threaten you, he didn't speak?

No. Did you cry out?

I didn't have time.

Anyway, there was
no-one in the shop and...

I was scared, unfortunately.

No, no. Of course
you were scared.

So you never saw his face?

No. I would have remembered.
I am good with faces.

It was just too dark to see him.

Is there anything else you
can remember? Anything at all?

Yeah... i remember thinking
"I hope he doesn't kill me".

The feel of his gloves and the
damp... The smell... Of his sweat.

How long is it
since you had a fag?

Four days? How's it going?

Yeah, good, thanks, yeah, yeah.

With the nicotine
deprivation, I mean.

I'm fine, all right? Just
don't keep on about it.

Duncan Miller.
Managing director.

Gerry standing. Brian
Lane. Thanks for your time.

Oh, it's a pleasure - always
willing to help the boys in blue.

Celine was saying you're
here to investigate the, er...

Incidents back in '99? Yes.

We'd like to see where
the attacks took place

and talk to any of the employees
who were here at the time.

Sure, well, there's
not that many still here,

but I'll show you down to
the shop-floor - this way.

I'm afraid the women's changing
room has been demolished

to make way for a
refrigeration storage facility.

I must say, I'm
intrigued to find out

why you've come
back after all this time.

Well, the case was
never closed. Oh.

Mr Miller, you did take a DNA
test with everyone else, didn't you?

Yeah - Duncan,
please... Call me Duncan.

Yes, yes, I was very relieved.
But all the work-force were cleared.

The whole affair
was devastating.

Pyramid - we're not just a
company, we're one big happy family.

So this is where, er...

Eileen Harrison. This
is where Eileen, was er...

It was a terrible affair, terrible.
Woman on speaker: 'This is a call

'for mr Miller. Could Duncan
Miller please go to R&D?'

sorry about this, I'll
leave you with tilly Shaw.

She's the shift supervisor, but at the time
she was working on the production line - tilly!

Could you come here?
These gentlemen want a word.

Excuse me gentlemen,
please. Thank you.

Hello. Brian. Brian Lane.

Gerry standing. Hello.

Eileen Harrison? Yeah?
Detective superintendent Pullman,

this is my colleague Jack halford.
Right, well, you'd better come in.

Thank you.

I didn't know there were
going to be two of you.

Oh. I'm sorry. I...
No, it's just, erm...

No, no, no, it's
quite all right...

I understand. If there is
somewhere I could wait..?

Er, yeah, in the living room.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about that. You
don't have to apologise, Eileen.

I can call you that? Yeah. I
don't want you to feel pressurised

in any way, cos we're here to help
catch the man who attacked you.

Is it ok if we go back to
the night it happened? Yeah.

You finished work
at seven o'clock?

Well, the shift
normally finished at five,

but we did two hours'
overtime, cos we had a rush on.

And then you went back to
the shop floor two hours later?

Yeah, I'd left my purse
in the changing rooms.

I couldn't find it in my
handbag, so I went back for it.

And, er...

That was when...

And you went back alone? Yeah...

Well, they'd increased security.

Everyone was being
checked in and out the factory.

I mean, it was more
secure than ever

and I never thought that
it could happen again.

I never thought that he'd...

It's all right if you want to stop,
Eileen. Nah. You just have to say.

No, no... It's ok.

I want to...

I'm sorry.

It's all right, it's
ok. It's all right.

And you worked on
the production line?

Me, Eileen and Jean. But
not any more? No, thank god.

I'm the union rep.

Mind you, the place hasn't changed much
since then. Same belt, machinery, everything.

Till. Oh, this is
Mick, my husband.

He was a mechanic back then,
but now he's the chief engineer.

These men are from ucos. They've
come about what happened to Jean and...

Still ain't caught the bloke then? What a surprise(!)
You lot couldn't catch a fever in a swamp.

Mick! Can we talk about
this somewhere else?

What you doing back here then,
eh? Get lost looking for your overtime?

We don't get much overtime.

We're civilians...
oh, brilliant.

You ain't even real coppers?

So what's prompted all
this then all of a sudden?

Back in '99, we had two months
of non-stop prodding and poking,

everyone here took a DNA test
and then nothing, end of story.

The case has never been closed.
It's all part of the reviewing process.

He's done it again, hasn't he?

The rapist. Look, this
doesn't make sense to me.

Mr Miller said you were
all like one big happy family.

He said that, did he?! Joke.

Mick... well, aren't you? No,
we ain't, since he came. Look,

when Miller took over, he cut
costs - safety, wages, pension deal.

Anything that wasn't core production
was put out to tender, including security.

That's one of the main
reasons those rapes happened.

World and his wife could
have walked in here back then.

Well, no-one mentioned
that at the time.

Everyone was frightened
about losing their jobs.

He'd already laid off loads of
people who'd been here for years.

Never mind what Miller says.

The only thing he gave a toss
about was how much the publicity

was costing him. Am
I right or wrong, tilly?

He did next to nothing.

Not for Eileen or the others.

Others? I meant Jean.

Yeah, I better get back before
Miller docks my pay and all.

Me too.

Look, forgive Mick.
It's just that he cares.

And he's right...
Miller doesn't.

"Others"?

So Eileen Harrison was on her way to
the changing room, which was that way.

He coughs

that's better.

I never heard or saw
nothing till it was too late.

No movement, voice, nothing.

The lights went off.

He grabbed me and then um...

Afterwards...

I was covered in his sweat.

It stank.

I couldn't move for
what seemed like ages.

And then when I did...

He'd gone.

And you never went back to work?

Once. But it was no good.

And since then I've not really
been able to go out the house.

I find it too difficult.

Cuddly toys, like
a child's. Cheers.

The only magazines and
photos are at least ten years old,

as if her life had
just stopped. Hello.

Oh, you're all right, are
you?! Yours are on the bar.

How d'you know what
I wanted? I'm psychic.

I just asked for alcohol. I
might have wanted a fruit juice.

Ha! How was
pyramid? Interesting.

Cheers. You can eat as much
chocolate as you like inside the factory,

but you can't take any out.

I meant the investigation,
Brian. Well, Miller, the boss,

he came on all teeth and smiles, but according
to the work-force that's just an act.

All profit and no heart. And
there's hardly anyone left from '99.

High turnover? Yeah, apparently.

Miller didn't talk much.
He was too keen to rush off.

The work-force were more help,
especially Mick and tilly Shaw,

husband and wife. She was a friend
of Eileen Harrison, a shop steward now.

She did say one
thing that was odd.

She, um, she used
the word "others"

when we were talking about the
victims - and I mean apart from Eileen.

What, "others" as
in plural? Exactly.

She made out it was
a slip of the tongue,

that she just meant
Jean, but I'm not so sure.

The victims have
anything to say?

Both of them saw next to
nothing. Scenes of crime?

Well, the changing room's been
pulled down, it's not there any more.

The production line where Eileen
was attacked - that's still going.

Very busy... Loud. Noisy.

Women!

Is it the sort of place
you'd go back to alone?

Why?

Well, Eileen Harrison, two hours
after her shift ended, goes back

to a place where only one week
before a workmate had been raped.

She went back for her purse.
She might have had her wages in it.

There is something a bit odd.

The place where
the attack happened.

It doesn't look like it's actually
en route to the changing room.

I'll tell you what's really
bothering me, the man we're

looking for knew how and where
to turn the light switches on and off.

It had to be someone who
knew the inside of that factory.

Every man who went in and
out of pyramid was DNA tested.

Someone was missed.
They had to have been.

Ok, go back to pyramid and
ask Miller whether there's a

remote possibility that someone
could have missed being tested.

And while we're there
we'll have another look

around the shop floor, work out the
geography, do it properly. Ok, good.

Jack, check out all the private
firms outside of pyramid that had

their men DNA tested and ask if somebody
could have been missed. What about you?

I'll go and have a word
with this mrs Shaw.

See if it was a slip of the
tongue. Where are you going?

Well, I thought I would just
pop outside and have a quick...

Oh, no, I don't any more, do I?

He coughs

better out than in!

She knocks

Tilly Shaw? Detective
superintendent Pullman.

You spoke with a couple of
my colleagues earlier. Oh, yeah.

Is it ok if I have another word?
Er, Mick's at football practice.

That's ok, it's you I wanted
to speak to particularly.

Thank you.

Excuse the mess, my
husband's a bit of an angling freak.

You and your husband both
worked at pyramid in 1999 -

am I right in thinking that most of
the staff were women back then?

Still are. Packing on
the production line.

Piece-work. The
pay's not brilliant.

Must have been very scary for
the women at that time? Terrible.

Especially after we saw how
badly affected Jean and Eileen were.

Eileen was a mate, yeah?

Is she still?

We...

I hardly see her. She's become a
bit of a recluse. Not that I blame her.

Did you ever talk to the other women
about what happened? Of course.

Talked about nothing
else for weeks.

But nobody had a clue
who it might have been?

It's just that he obviously
had access to the factory

and he seems to have
picked similar looking victims,

which suggests that he either
knew them or had seen them.

That's what made
it so scary, but...

Did anything else unusual
happen at that time?

It's just that Brian,
my colleague,

told me that you said
"others". As in other victims.

Not just Eileen and Jean.

That was a mistake. Right.

Tilly, we're hunting
a serial rapist.

I don't want to hear from someone else
something I should have heard from you.

There was one girl...

Nisha Kumar,

she was a friend of Eileen's...

She died, a few
months later. Died?

Committed suicide. Her
mum and dad found her.

She hanged herself.

No. Categorically, no. Even the
men that were off sick got tested.

Can I have another
one? Yeah, sure.

Are you sure you
won't...? No, thank you, no.

We want to have another look at the shop
floor. What, now? There's no-one there.

Well, that's great, cos we'd like to see it exactly
how it was when Eileen Harrison was attacked.

Yeah, it won't take long. We
just need to see it in the dark.

It's very inconvenient.

I thought you said pyramid was one, big
happy family and that you wanted to help?

Every man I had who'd
worked there was done.

You're absolutely sure?
Come on, there was only five,

including me, and I never
even set foot in the place.

We were all DNA tested, everybody
was cleared and that was that.

It doesn't seem a lot, mr close.
Four men to clean a whole factory?

Oh, in this business you soon figure out the most
efficient use of manpower. I run a very tight ship.

You, er, you don't have the
pyramid contract anymore, do you?

No.

Maybe it was a bit too tight?

Actually, we fell
out over safety.

They speak Polish

What was that, Polish?

Aye, I picked a bit
up here and there.

It's easier to find out if
somebody's lying to you if you

speak their language and it's easier
to get them to do what you want,

rather than what they want.

You know what I'm saying?

Are we done?

Yes, yes. Thank you.

Sorry I couldn't help you.

Right!

I should have taken more notice,

seen what was happening
to her, how she changed.

She changed?

After the attacks.

Before, nisha was always
cheerful, lively, funny...

But then...

One day I found her crying.

Then she stopped coming
to work for days at a time.

Nisha and Eileen were
always really close, best friends,

but when Eileen eventually came back
to work, it just seemed to make it worse.

Two days later,
nisha killed herself.

So nisha's death took place after
the original investigation ended?

Tilly, do you think there's a possibility
that nisha could have been raped?

So... What are you
two still doing here?

Get out, get out, that should
have been finished hours ago.

So the women's changing
rooms were that way?

Yeah. And the exit is this way?
There's not another changing room?

No.

Are you sure it's all right
for me to keep eating these?

Sure, I'm delighted
you like them.

Very more-ish. And you say there isn't
another ladies' toilet or anything down here?

Uh, no. Are you sure
you won't have a...

No, thanks, I'm fine.

He coughs

sorry.

Are you all right?
I think I need...

I need... His stomach gurgles

where's the toilet?! Oh, it's...

Coughing continues

he clears his throat

he spits

Now, he always works
in the dark, doesn't he?

Here you go. It's all dark.

He's creeping about down here.

She must have been... Clattering

Oh, you little beauty.

Look at that.

He chuckles

oh, this is your lucky day.

He coughs

oh!

Lovely.

Alarm rings

Second alarm blares

Hey, "nudger"! Pyramid's
nudger! Nudger! Yes! Of course!

Jingle: ♪ everything you
want in a bar and a little bit more

♪ not just chocolate
bar a whole lot more!

♪ Nuts, biscuit, nougat...

♪ fudge, raisins, chocolate...
Honeycomb pieces!

♪ Everything you want in a bar
and a little bit more - nudger! ♪

Morning. Pyramid's nudger!
Yes, I remember. It was horrible.

Sickly sweet. You know
what your trouble is?

You like all this boutique,
70%, fair-trade cobblers...

It's like tar that stuff. No, I like
my chocolate to taste like... Sugar!

If nudger was so great, why
did they take it off the market?

I recall it was cos they found something in
one of them that shouldn't have been there.

Like a finger. Oh, yes.
Anyway, moving swiftly on,

what did you find
out at the factory?

Well, Miller was adamant all the men
were DNA tested. Nobody was missed.

Ditto all the other firms who
were in and out of the factory.

And the rapist must have known
the layout of the factory floor,

because where Eileen was
attacked - it's basically a dead end.

You would only go there if you wanted to open
the window or turn the lights on and off.

Even if she was disorientated
by the lights being out,

where she was attacked was nowhere near the
women's changing room. So it doesn't make sense.

There's something else.

Tilly Shaw told me that a girl
called nisha Kumar killed herself

just four months after the rapes, and nisha
worked on the same production line as...

The "others". Yeah.

Was she raped? I don't know.

What I do know is she was Eileen
Harrison's best friend, and that

only days after Eileen came
back to work, she hanged herself.

Definitely suicide, was it?
That's what the coroner said.

I've sent for a copy of
the post mortem report.

In the meantime, Jack, you and
I will go and talk to her family -

she has a brother,
arun. What about us?

You said quite a lot of people had
been laid off just before the rapes? Yeah.

Why don't you get a list from Miller and see
if any of them have ever been in trouble.

Could take forever!

We could have got away with this,
mate. You keep schtum, all right?

You keep schtum yourself. All right.
You're the one with the big mouth.

He whistles

Arun Kumar?

Detective superintendent Pullman from
the unsolved crime and open case squad.

This is my colleague
Jack halford. Yeah?

We were wondering if we could have a
chat with you about your sister, nisha?

What about nisha?

Can we go inside?
You got a warrant?

A warrant? No, no. We just want
to... then no, you can't come in.

I don't let police in my house.
Any particular reason? Loads.

Mr Kumar, we're investigating a
number of rapes that took place

in the factory where your sister
worked in 1999 and we understand

that sadly she took her own life just
four months after the rapes took place...

And? Look, whatever dealings,

whatever experiences you've had
with the police before, they weren't with

me, all right? I'm just trying to find
the man who raped these women.

We don't have any details of your
mother and father - are they still around?

No. They went
back to India. When?

What's that got to do with you?
Was it anything to do with nisha?

I don't want to talk any more.
Was your sister raped, arun?

Don't talk about my sister
like that, understand?!

No-one talks
about her like that.

I don't want to talk
about your sister.

I want you to talk about her.

She's suffered enough.

Leave her alone.

Would you call that a
reaction or an overreaction?

He was certainly
mad about something.

Cos his sister was raped,
or because we knew about it?

Hmmm. Look!

Oh, great(!)

What is it about policing and leaks to the
press? It's absolutely bloody outrageous!

Oh, let's try and be positive, maybe someone
will come forward with fresh information.

I've only ever heard
that said on television.

Well, there is some good news.

Go on. Nisha
Kumar's post mortem.

The pathologist was looking
for signs of sexual assault.

There were none. In fact,
the report clearly states

that nisha was a virgin.

And you were right. In 2000, pyramid were prosecuted
by health and safety for one of their nudger bars...

And as you said, this chocolate
had a piece of human being in it.

Pyramid blamed the "contamination
of imported raisins from Turkey".

They were found guilty under
health and safety and fined £200,000.

Sales went through the floor and by
December they discontinued the line.

No more nudger.

The company nearly went bust.
I should bloody well hope so.

Yeah, but that's not
how big business works.

So, in eight months they'd
landed three new contracts

with separate
supermarket chains,

all selling own-brand chocolate
bars, and guess what was in them?

Nuts, biscuit, nougat.

Fudge, raisin, chocolate.

Honeycomb pieces.

Exactly, so with in 18 months,

pyramid had had
two rapes, a suicide

and a finger in one
of their best brands.

That's either an awful lot of bad
luck, or an awful lot of coincidences.

And who says there's no
such thing as bad publicity?

Whose finger was it? Did
they ever find out? I don't know.

Some Turkish raisin-farmer.

But if nisha wasn't raped,
then why did she kill herself?

She may not have been raped, but
she may have known who the rapist was.

Well, we got hold of an
ex-employees list from pyramid

and guess who
was on it in '98...

..While he was a student
working in his summer break?

Arun Kumar.

Is he?! Right, do a pnc check,

see if he's on the DNA database.

Are you still not smoking? No.

Well done.

Sheer willpower!

He coughs

you lied to me! Eileen,
I didn't lie to you.

Yeah? Why didn't you tell me?!
Making out you were worried.

You don't give a toss!
Eileen, listen, just listen to me.

I didn't tell you what happened
cos I didn't want to frighten you.

So I had to find out
through the papers!

That was nothing to do with us,
me or my colleagues, I promise.

I don't believe it! He can't
still be around! It's impossible!

Yeah, I've got
you, but no arrests?

Yeah, that's great, thanks.

Arun Kumar hasn't
got a criminal record

but he has been stop-searched
a couple of times. But no DNA.

No, not as... PC beeps

bloody hell. What?

Well, I just typed the words "pyramid chocolate
factory" and "crime" into the computer.

Look what it's come up with.

"Mick Shaw, a mechanic at
the pyramid chocolate factory,

"was found not guilty of assault
at isleworth crown court." 2003.

Yeah, I thought
he was bit tense.

Yeah, I'll tell the guv'nor.

And about arun.

Oi, oi, where you going? Out.

Are you going to go
and see Mick Shaw?

I'm going to go see a
man about a coincidence.

Phone rings I don't...

Yes, guv'nor.

I'm sure I can do you
some kind of deal, yeah.

Listen, let me call
you back, yeah.

You know this could be
construed as harassment.

I could be construed as a
customer. Not dressed like that, mate.

We're not here to argue,
arun. We just want to talk.

Talk? Yeah, right. About what?

I sent for your sister's
post-mortem report.

Now what was probably not
made clear to you and your parents -

for obvious reasons -
but is clear from the report

is that at the time of her
death, nisha was still a virgin.

She wasn't raped.

Which begs the question
why did she hang herself?

She was obviously very
unhappy about something.

Did you see that
she was unhappy?

That's a stupid question,
of course. We all did.

Arun, I know you've been
stop-searched a couple of times...

Oh, here we go! ..So you're a
bit hacked off with the police.

Really?! You
ain't got a... listen.

I don't know why your sister
killed herself, but I think you do.

You don't like talking about it
because you feel guilty in some way.

You're full of shit. No,
no, no, no, I don't think so.

I don't need this. Ok, so who do
you blame for your sister's death?

Did you ever see
your sister, arun?

In the factory? That summer
when you worked there?

I worked in accounts. We
weren't allowed on the shop floor.

Did you ever meet
Eileen Harrison?

Phone rings who?

Come on, she was
nisha's best mate

and one of the women who was
raped. You people are unbelievable!

A white woman gets raped
and you grab the first Asian guy

whose name crops up. You
really believe that, do you?

Yeah, me and half
the guys I grew up with.

My sister hangs herself

and the only thing you're interested
in is the woman she's mates with.

No, what I'm interested in is
why a happy girl who wasn't raped

suddenly decides
to commit suicide.

Nah, what you really get off on
is giving guys like me a hard time.

Maybe it's because she
knew who the rapist was

and that made her
feel really ashamed.

Now... are you sure you never
went down on that shop floor?

I loved my sister.

And I never raped anyone.

Fine. Then you'd be happy
to give us a DNA sample.

What? So we can rule you out of
our investigation? You think I'm stupid?

You think I'm going to let
my DNA go on your database?

It will be destroyed as
soon as it's proved negative.

Yeah, and father
Christmas is Shiva.

I don't trust ya. And nothing that's
ever happened to me makes me want to.

Ok. But I am going to find
out who raped those women.

And I'm going to find out
why your sister hanged herself.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm Gerry standing. Ucos.

What, another one?
Ah, no, I'm different

because I remembered your name.

I thought I'd heard it somewhere
before. And I was right.

Gi' yersel' a blue Peter
badge. Gerry laughs

see, now you call
yourself close sanitation

but in 2001, close cleaning
limited was prosecuted

by the immigration services
for employing illegal immigrants.

Bangladeshis, mostly.

Most of whom had fake ID and all of
whom were subsequently deported.

All right, two blue
Peter badges.

So, come on, Alex.
Come on, come clean, eh?

Did you have any illegals
on your payroll in '99?

Course you did

and some of them were working at
the factory when the rapes took place.

I've got no idea
what you're on about.

Oh, yes, you have.

You didn't say anything,
because if they'd been DNA tested

along with everybody else

they would have been outed
as illegal immigrants. No.

There was no illegals
on my books in 1999. Ok?

Please.

And it is illegal to
smoke in these premises.

Thanks for the chat, pal.

Mr Miller? We're here
about nisha Kumar.

Who? She hanged herself.

Oh, yeah.

You didn't mention
her to my colleagues,

even though it happened
months after the rapes. Well, yeah,

since the start of your investigation,
I have been somewhat distracted.

Not least by the
harassment from the press.

I can assure you it wasn't
us who spoke to the press.

We're only here to
ask you what you know

about nisha Kumar's suicide.
The short answer is nothing.

She worked here.
She killed herself.

Are you saying it's
cause and effect?

I don't appreciate sarcasm.

What did her family say
to you when she died?

I don't know. I've never met 'em.
You must have spoken to them?

Er, well, she didn't
die here, did she?

So one of your
workforce commits suicide

and you don't communicate
with her nearest and dearest?

Yeah, we may have sent
flowers, I don't know. Very touching.

What about the guy whose
finger was found in a bar of nudger?

Send him a bunch of
flowers when/if he turns up?

What has that got
to do with anything?!

You seem to have had
a great deal of bad luck

in a very short space of time.

Yes, well, "troubles they come,
not in single spies but in battalions."

A little bit like
the... U... C...

Oh, whatever you're called.
Listen, she was a young woman,

she would have been having boyfriend
trouble... You're an expert, are you?

No, no, no, no, I leave
that to human resources

and the... The gossips
on the shop-floor.

Excuse me.

What? Oh, please, I'm busy!
Don't bother me with stuff like that.

Arsehole. Fat lot of good that
was. We're getting nowhere.

There's still arun. There are
other ways to get his DNA.

No! Not yet.

Oi, what's the idea of this?

Mick's furious. I've got a shop-floor
scared to death! Them and Eileen both.

And as I understand it, Mick gets
angry about a whole lot of things.

What do you mean? What's
Eileen been saying? Eileen?

Nothing? Why? What should she
have said? I just meant she'd be upset,

probably feeling... Feeling
what? How would you know?

You haven't seen her for ten
years. Why not? She cut herself off.

No, no. I can understand why
Eileen wouldn't want to see anyone.

That's no reason for you
to stop trying to see her.

That's what friends are for.
Depends what you mean by friends.

What's that supposed to mean?

What would make
you stop being mates

with a woman you thought was a
really good friend? Eileen and Mick?

When did you find out?

Not till later.

She wouldn't see
me. I went round...

Mick was there at the front
door. She wouldn't let him in.

It was over by then.
The rape saw to that.

That's when I realised. I
heard you lot were here again!

Shouldn't you be
out hunting rapists?

We were just talking
to your wife, mr Shaw.

We've done enough
talking to you already.

Why don't you do your
jobs instead of wasting time?

I wouldn't call finding out about your
affair with Eileen Harrison a waste of time.

But I can understand why you never
mentioned it to the original investigation.

Until now, I couldn't understand

why Eileen came back
to this factory alone.

Which begs the question -

where were you on the
night she was raped? Me?

You think it was me?
Mick's not a rapist!

No, he only beats up
people outside pubs.

Not guilty, mate. Fine. Back
to the point. Where were you?

You know where I was.
In the pub. With mates.

Yeah. When you should have
been here, waiting for Eileen.

Only you never
turned up, did you?

But the rapist did.

My guess is that you felt very
guilty, maybe even partly to blame.

Even though it
wasn't your fault.

Just shut up! Easy, easy.

Nisha, did she have a boyfriend?

I don't know. I don't think so.

Eileen would know.

Thank you. If, er, anything else
occurs to you, anything at all,

just let me know, yeah?

What's this? A
little light supper?

What the hell is that?
Chocolate. Finger.

I thought we should
get it DNA tested.

You never know,
might not be Turkish

and we could be looking
for a nine-fingered rapist.

Well, it would narrow
the field down a bit.

Can I help you? Liam
braine, forensic scientist.

I understand you have a rather
interesting digit to analyse. There you go.

Oh. That is a
particularly fine specimen.

Do you know the exact nature of the
confectionary it was encased in? Nudger.

Ah, nudger.

Manufactured by the pyramid
chocolate company, 1963 to 2000.

Chocolate. 30% cocoa solids.
Whey, milk, cocoa butter, sugar,

granulated almond and Hazel
nuts, shortcake biscuit, nougat,

cream fudge, Turkish raisins...
And honeycomb pieces, yes.

How soon can we get the
results? It should be feasible

to have a comprehensive
set of indices very soon.

Although this is a
particularly nutty problem.

Nougat is made from a combination
of sugar, egg-white and nuts.

The term is derived from
the old French "nogat",

itself a corruption of the provencal
word "noga", meaning "nut".

Too many nuts.

You can say that again!

Evening all. Evening.

I've just been
chatting to Alex close

because I found
out that in 2001,

he was prosecuted for employing
illegal immigrants, so I asked him

did he employ any in
1999? And he said no.

Of course. He wouldn't have
owned up to it earlier, either.

But the 2001 lot
were all deported.

Bangladesh, mostly.
Of course - the voice!

Why he didn't talk.

If the rapist is Bangladeshi,
it's going to be a dead giveaway.

Every time he opens his mouth.

If a cleaner raped Helen vestry, they
must have got back into the country again.

Well, it's not possible.
Of course it is.

They all had fake ID. Illegals
come back all the time. No.

I mean when they
were deported in '01,

then they would have had their
DNA and their prints taken then.

We'd have already had a match.

Unless it was someone who stopped
working for close between '99 and 2001.

In which case he'll
still be running around,

untested for DNA.
Then we're buggered.

It'll be like looking for a needle
in a haystack. Colin pitchfork.

Hm?

Oh, every time I hear that
expression, "needle in a haystack",

I think haystack - pitchfork.

Of course, Colin pitchfork.

The first man to be arrested and
sentenced for murder by DNA screening.

Absolutely right!

January 1988.

You see, they said
that case was hopeless.

But then they brought in DNA, they
tested 5,000 men and they got him.

No matter how bad it looks,

it's never hopeless.
Thank you, Mary poppins.

Just get us a pint, will you?

I asked at the station.
They said you'd be in here.

Is this where you do most of
your work? The best of it, yeah.

Arun Kumar. Nisha's brother.

Fancy a drink? No, I don't drink.
That's all right, neither does he.

Got something to say?

There you go.

My sister.

You're absolutely
sure she wasn't raped?

Positive.

100%?

We thought...

We were afraid that she hanged
herself because she had been raped.

What with what we
read in the papers.

How was she in the
time before she died?

She was crying all the time.

We didn't understand.
She'd been so happy.

Yeah, that's what everyone
says about her. No, no.

She was even happier than
normal, because she'd met someone.

You mean a man?

She told my parents
he was really nice,

a really lovely bloke, you know.

My parents were
quite pleased, I think.

Who was he? I don't know.

But he must have been
someone at the factory.

Have you got a name?

The man who was
seeing her, I mean.

This "really lovely bloke"?

You don't believe me.

Ok. Tell me...

Where do I go?

To take the DNA test?

Morning. Morning.
It certainly is.

Why are you so cheerful?

Brainiac has got some good news.

Good. Care to enlighten me?

Having re-examined
samples from the finger,

it's clear that, while male, it's
previous owner is not the rapist.

By the same token, it is almost
certainly not Turkish. Not?

I thought you'd be delighted.

Turkish delighted.
Anything else?

Having isolated his DNA,
cluster sampling models

place his likely point of
origin some way to the east,

on the Indian subcontinent.
Probably... Bangladesh.

Yes, very good.

But that is not the
interesting part.

Care to hear the rest?
Knock yourself out.

I've isolated a second DNA
sample from a particle of blood

between the fingernail
and the epithelium,

belonging to another man. And...
You know his likely point of origin?

Better than that.
I know who he is.

What?! Not the finger owner.

The man from
under the fingernail.

He's in the national DNA
database. Who is he?

So, Mick, can you tell us again
about the punch-up you had in 2002?

Outside the bell pub in ealing.

What about it? I
got off, remember?

Yeah, but you were arrested.
So your DNA was taken.

Yeah. So what?

Can you tell me
why that same DNA,

yours, was discovered under
the nail of a severed finger

that turned up in a
bar of nudger in 2000?

No. No idea.

Perhaps you've some idea
about who the finger belonged to?

No. I don't believe you.

I don't believe this.

Interview suspended at 11.22am.

Oooh. You've upset her now.

Eileen, thank you so
much for coming in,

I know this is
very hard for you.

But let me start by saying that
you're free to leave at any time.

What is it you wanted to know?

Mick Shaw. You
had an affair with him.

Yeah. He must have been very
upset after what happened to you?

Yeah. Not least because had he
turned up on the night of the attack

like he was supposed
to have done,

you probably wouldn't
have been raped at all.

Eileen...

There is a sample of Mick's
DNA under the nail of the finger

that was found in a nudger
bar a year after you were raped.

What? We think that the finger
belongs to a man from Bangladesh.

How do you think that
might have happened?

I... i don't know.

Do you remember what you said

when you found out the rapist
had struck again last year?

You said, "I can't believe he's
still around. It's impossible."

Now at first, I thought you said
that because you were afraid.

But what you really meant was
you couldn't believe he was still alive.

I, I want to go now.

Nisha... you and she were
best friends, weren't you?

Why did she kill herself?

I don't know.

She had a boyfriend, didn't she?

A boy she really liked. A boy
that she'd fallen in love with.

Where is he?

What happened to him, Eileen?

He wasn't very nice.

Nice? This... Cleaner.

He was really creepy.

Nisha thought the sun shone
out of his arse, but it didn't.

I told her. I warned her.

Shakib's only after one thing.

Shakib? Yeah, um, oh...

I used to see him staring
at me, watching me.

I even saw his
boss tell him off.

And, and, and then when Jean
got raped I knew who it was,

but I didn't say anything.

I should have. And then
maybe I wouldn't have been...

Did you tell nisha that
was what had happened?

No. You told Mick.

He said... He said
not to worry any more

and that he'd taken care of him.

And what do you
think he meant by that?

Mick said everything
was going to be ok

and that this guy
would, um, never,

never ever rape anyone again.

But he didn't rape
anyone, Eileen.

I am afraid that
you got it wrong.

What? What?!

Looks a bit edgy to me to me.

Yeah. Nervous.

Ha! He's a smoker.

He's desperate for a cigarette.

Ah, yes. Of course.

Right now, he'd sell
his mum for a smoke.

That's all you had
to do in the old days,

before they
outlawed it, of course.

Bide your time. Rack up the
tension and then light a cigarette.

Blow smoke all over them.

They'd be crawling up the wall

and then you'd just offer them
a cigarette and Bob's your uncle.

Those were the days. Remember?

Tape recorder buzzes

Interview recommenced at
11.34am. Same persons present.

Mr Shaw, you do still understand
you're still under caution? Yeah.

So, Michael - you don't
mind if I call you Michael?

You killed the wrong man.

What you talking about?

The finger's DNA doesn't match
that of the man who raped Eileen,

or Jean Saunders,
or the woman last year

and DNA doesn't lie.

Shakib. I don't know
what you're going on about.

The contract cleaner.
The illegal immigrant.

Nisha's boyfriend.

You see, Eileen told
us. How she told you

that he was the
man that raped her

and how you killed him.

Which is worse, Mick - knowing
that you killed the wrong man?

Or knowing you got
it wrong cos of her?

Must be very hard to take.

Doing life for a mistake.

No.

No, she... no. No!

No, she said it was shakib!
She said shakib raped her.

Who needs cigarettes?

Eileen: "Mick said
everything was going to be ok

"and that this guy would, um,
never, never ever rape anyone again."

He attacked shakib
on the shop-floor

after the production line
had closed down for the night.

Shakib fell against the start
button of the conveyor belt.

The machine trapped his
arm and severed his finger.

During which time, Shaw
beat him to death with a wrench.

He then took the body away
in a plastic bag in his Van,

weighted it down and
dumped it in a gravel pit

where he used
to go fishing. Nice.

So he must've known that
shakib didn't take the test.

And when everybody else proved
negative after they tested for DNA,

it just convinced him that
what Eileen had said was true.

What am I going
to tell strickland?

We're supposed to
be hunting a rapist

and we've ended up solving a
murder that no-one knew had happened.

Mick and Eileen knew. Shit!

Whirring

"really creepy..."

Whirring

"I even saw his
boss tell him off

"and, and, and then
when Jean got raped, I..."

"I even saw his
boss tell him off."

Alex close was his boss

and close told me he'd never
set foot inside the factory.

But close was tested and his
DNA was negative, wasn't it?

Colin pitchfork.

He didn't do a sample at the
start, he got his mate to do it

and they only caught him
because his mate was boasting

that pitchfork paid him £200 to
take the test and pretend to be him.

That's right, he did.

And close told me he could
get his employees to do anything

and I believe him, because
they're terrified of him.

What about the bakery? Well, if i'm
right, he must have been there too.

Helen?

Helen, do you recognise him?

He's, er,

he's Scottish.

He came in to the
shop about, um,

18 months ago. To see
about the, er, the cleaning.

To try and get the cleaning
contract. Right. He didn't get it.

But, um, the thing was he
then came in two or three times,

as a customer.

He used to buy, um...

A pasty. It was, it was
always the same thing.

A pasty.

Fond of those, are you?

Aye, my little weakness.

No, I don't think that's
your weakness, mr close.

Who's this, your care worker?
Detective superintendent Pullman.

I'd just like to ask you a few
more questions. Final questions.

You must lead boring lives.

I want to know if you recall
a young Bangladeshi man

who worked as a cleaner at
the pyramid chocolate factory.

Name of shakib? I've told you...

This man, you would remember -
he failed to turn up for work one day.

In fact, he disappeared
during the night shift at pyramid.

No.

Right. So would
you mind telling me

where you've been for the
last nine years? Here and there.

Where were you after your
previous firm went bust?

Poland. Most of the time.

Right. So if I were to send a sample
of your DNA to the Polish police,

that would be ok
with you, would it?

Sure. No, I'm sorry, I
didn't make myself clear.

Not the old sample. A new one.
No, I've already given a DNA sample.

Now that's where we have
a bit of a problem, mr close,

because we don't
think you have. Er, yes,

I was tested, along
with my workmen.

No. In 1999, you sent someone
along to pretend to be you.

Someone with your ID
and they took the test.

You see, the rapist we're
looking for never spoke,

so at first we assumed
he was an Asian

and his voice
would give him away.

It never occurred to us that
he could have been Scots.

Is this what the met
get up to now, eh?

Is this what you build your
cases on? This is a load of shite.

This man raped two women in 1999
and he's since raped again, mr close.

If you were so happy to help
back then by giving a DNA sample,

what possible reason could
you have for not doing so now?

Now, then, mr close,
you're sweating.

That mine? Bought with
you in mind. Thank you.

Did you speak to
him? Strickland?

It was a bad line. I had
to make it brief. Lucky you.

What'd he say?

He was surprised. Bloody cheek.

He asked me, "what
cracked the case?"

I said, "Colin pitchfork." He
said, "who?" Unbelievable.

That's modern policing
for you. Where's Gerry?

Outside.

Said he wanted
a bit of fresh air.

Gerry's never wanted
fresh air in his life.

I bloody knew it!

Look, I did try
giving up, honestly.

Anyway, I never said I
was going to stop smoking.

I said I was going to
stop smoking cigarettes.

Your lungs.

Yeah, but I felt so ill,
honestly. I couldn't bear it!

Bear it!
