No, I'm excited

Yeah.

All right, all right.

So come on, what do we think?

Is she the real deal?

Is she here on merit?

Kidnap unit, serious
crime squad, she gotta be.

Yeah, but is she here
for the long haul though?

I mean, we don't
know her, don't we?

We've never even
heard about her.

Oh, I've heard of her, yeah.

She's what?

40 ish.

Big girl.

But, I say big, heavy, 15 stone.

Lives in a commune.

Commune?

Just women, no men.

15 stone?

Oh my god.

Morning?

[All] Morning sir.

I'd like to introduce
you to dci Sasha Miller.

She's celebrating
her promotion today,

as well as her appointment,

as the head of the unsolved
crime and open case squad.

It's lovely to meet you all.

Steve mcandrew, hello?

Ex Glasgow cid?

That's right.

Oh my son's at uni there.

He's having a great time.

To great time.

Dan gryphon.

Dan or Danny?

Oh no, I like Dan.

It's lovely to meet you.

Oh yeah.

You must be Gerry
standing, heard lots about you.

Only good things, I hope.

Oh, very, very good.

Dci Miller has
spent the last week.

Oh hold on, Sasha please.

Oh, okay.

Sasha has spent
the last week or so

getting to grips with
ucos's background

at semo its ethos.

She's tremendously impressed
by the unit's track record.

So she's eager to get going.

So how'd you wanna start?

Well, this is interesting.

Only came in yesterday.

Well, yeah.

Italian immigrant killed 25
years ago on an allotment.

Allotment?

Yeah.

Oh, and then this
turned up last week.

Murder weapon.

Only problem is, so did
an unexploded bomb.

- I don't think she is...
- No, no, no.

This is very interesting.

Bomb hasn't been
diffused by the way.

And the case is 25 years, so.

Sure, but now you've
got this murder weapon.

Don't you wanna see your office?

It's just through here.

Yeah, yeah looks great.

Should we go?

You okay in my car?

Well, yeah.

Yeah, sure.

15 stone.

[Footsteps clattering ]

January, 1988,
Alessandro manzini 65.

He'd been drinking,
he's knifed in the throat

and his body stuffed
upside down in a water bath.

Which then freezes
solid overnight

as the temperature
drops below zero.

Has to be thawed out
before the pm can take place.

Don't get one of these
every day of the week.

So what'd you think?

[Bomb explodes]

Oh, shit.

Oh, it looks like
a cut and burn.

A what?

Oh, they burn out the
explosive from inside.

Sometimes it gets too hot, bang.

[Heavy metal music]

And, it's quite difficult.

Hi all.

Ah, you must be
the guys from ucos.

Yeah, Gerry standing.

Steve mcandrew, hello?

Dan gryphon.

Dicky Smith plot
holders association.

I handle the day-to-day
running of the place.

Dci Sasha Miller, hi.

Interesting day.

Yeah, the leftover
present from Jerry.

At least they didn't have
to blow the whole place up.

This is guilietta,
Mr. Manzini's daughter.

Her husband, Alberto's a
fellow committee member.

I'm sorry, this must
be distressing for you

even after all this time.

Not if it means finding
out who killed my father.

Oh yeah.

The knife, you identified
this as belonging to him.

Yeah, I bought it a
few days before he died.

It was a birthday present.

But you don't know
where it was found.

Well we swept a whole
chunk of the place.

Trying to find anymore,
of Jerry's calling carts.

Anything they found,
anything metal dug up.

They just put in
the heap over there.

The original investigation found

listen, listen, the plot
holders who are here now.

I mean, some of
them must have been

on the allotment back then.

Yeah, yeah, I mean I was.

Guilietta too use
to help with that.

There's ray Barlow.

Alberto, used to
work with his father.

And he still does.

I mean, massimo is Italian.

Like Alessandro, I mean,
they were very good friends.

Massimo, the
original investigation

found that there were
problems on the allotments.

That things had been stolen,
windows were smashed.

You and Alessandro, you
seem to have suffered the most

but you didn't say
anything, why?

We were outsiders,
you understand?

Also we don't use the
allotment like the English.

Our wives and children
come, not just do help,

but to eat.

Drink, make fun.

Many of the people, they
don't like what we plant.

Chilies, radish or rucola.

They say that stuff
won't work here.

[All laughing]

Gross like man.

[Massimo laughs]

They don't like it.

Me and Alessandro,
we win the competitions.

They don't like it.

If you thought it was
someone at the allotments.

Why didn't you
say so at the time?

My son is born here, I am not.

No, no, no, it is different now.

Now everyone loves Italians.

Then, they hate us.

Even in eight years, some
still hate us from them all.

Racism, dicky
Smith's not a racist.

He did call the Germans, Gerry.

Gerry?

Oh please, look, I played
on bombing sites all the time

when I was a kid,

it doesn't mean I want to
kill every German I'll meet.

And what about him and Alberto?

They are mates.

Yeah, but Alberto,
is second generation.

All right.

So if dicky Smith did do this,

how come, he's
not shitting himself,

now that the knives turned up.

He couldn't care less
that the murder weapons,

is just lying around.

The knife's rusty
and covered in mud.

The labs think it's been
underground for long.

Look, look, look, the point is

the killer sticks a knife
into the bloke's throat, right.

Then picks him up
turns him upside down

and puts him
into a water barrel.

Dicky Smith can hardly walk.

But.

But what?

Not a barrel, it's a bath.

The bloke who did,

or a woman.

The person who killed
manzini, is gotta be bonkers.

Is a psycho right?

Now, don't you get that
feeling from dicky Smith?

No.

No, this is deliberate.

I mean, I've not come across
many knives in the throat,

slashed across it, maybe.

But in, like that, no.

And then his body is
tipped headfirst upside down

into a bath of water.

No, that's deliberate,
it's not random.

Specific, it's kinda like a.

A ritual.

Ritual?

Raymond, Peter Barlow.

Now the murder team had
a word with him back in 88.

Now dicky said he
still has an allotment.

Well, he was arrested
21st of June, 1997

for assaulting a police
officer at stonehenge

during the summer solstice.

Fined 2000 pounds.

He's a druid.

[Upbeat music]

Fuck, truck driving druid.

I can't wait to find you.

See you later then.

Guilietta.

Hi.

Hi.

Have you got a minute?

Yeah, sure, sit down.

- Oh thanks.
- Coffee?

A cappuccino would
be great, thank you.

I'd be doing cappuccino.

Busy place?

Always busy.

It used to be my dad's.

Hey it took him
and my mom years,

to put it once together.

They managed it,

and now it's a
local institution.

What was he like?

Your father.

Decent, hardworking.

He owned it after the war
because they were just no jobs.

He met my mom in
a lion's corner house.

We thought the food
and drink was shocking.

But she said he
only opened the cafe

so he could get a
decent cup of coffee.

[Steve laughs]

You know, mom never got over it.

Always stayed at home.

I just got engaged.

My father had been
at the allotment,

came back for lunch,
had a bit to drink,

went for a walk.

I stayed at my friend,
Angela's that night.

I went to bed early.

She didn't know.

Sorry.

Guilietta, tell me
about ray Barlow.

How did your dad go on with ray?

Well, moonlight ray.

Albi.

Thanks.

Seriously, he plants
at night, you know, he's

he and my father got fine.

Your dad used to piss himself.

Ray Barlow plants at night.

Used to do it any
all night, apparently.

But when he'd come back,

he had to be by
for light of the moon.

It's quite common.

A lot of people think that

the moon affects when
you should plants things.

What do you mean
when he came back?

He moved away about a
year after your dad died.

Only been back last five years.

Don't get me wrong.

Ray is a nice enough, blow.

But you got admit, darling,

he's is a bit odd.

[Upbeat music]

In case you hadn't noticed,
I'm also a truck driver.

How does that fit in
with your druidic work?

Druidism is a
calling, it's not a job.

And what was it, calling
you to do in June 97,

when you punched police
constable dredge in the face?

Police at stonehenge
were intense

from preventing us
practise our religious rights.

You've been told not to turn up.

Two wrongs, don't make a right.

That's supposed to be funny?

Been a long day.

Listen in 1988 Alessandro
manzini, was murdered.

Now, according to the
tachograph in your cab,

you were driving
your truck that day.

Correct?

Yeah, but that was
before digital machines

were introduced, am I right?

Meaning what?

Meaning that the old
tachographs were unreliable.

They could be recalibrating.

They could be fixed.

You're looking at me
for that man's murder?

You're gonna laugh.

Not even deep down inside.

I was in Scotland,
when manzini died.

My tachograph
checked out, a okay.

Where's this coming from.

Oh, so I punched a copper,

I'm a villain, I'm a
druid, so I'm a nasser.

You people are crap,
you know nothing.

No, it's not
strictly true, right?

For example, I know
Julius Caesar wrote

that Celtic druids
practised human sacrifice.

[Ray laughs]

Been a long day
for you as well, is it?

Is he for real.

Listen, did you have
any trouble with anybody

on the allotment in the past?

I'm saying anymore.

If you want to talk
more, talk to my solicitor.

And of course you've got one.

We'll be in touch ray.

[Truck door bangs]

[Truck engine revs]

Julius Caesar?

History of gallic
wars, book six.

Geotropism.

What?

The effect of gravity
upon the growth of plants.

Some people
believe that a waxing

or waning moon can have a
positive effect on germination

and plant growth.

No wonder manzini
pissed himself laughing.

Did anyone ever say,
whether he actually

laughed in Barlow's face?

Guilietta says it
was a long time ago.

So you've got this bloke

who punches a copper
who's stopping him,

watch the sun come up.

A truck driving druid
who plants things at night.

And who's got a criminal
record for violence.

What's not to like?

Did you say that the
killing was like a ritual?

No, no, he said that.

What I said, what.

Anyway, regardless of that.

We haven't pinned
the knife on anyone yet.

Let alone Barlow, forensics

with all due respect governor,

forensics don't solve
most of these cases we do.

Okay.

Okay., let's take a more
traditional approach.

Who's the prime
suspect in any murder?

Wife, close family member.

Well, I'm sorry, but
I've seen better alibis.

Dead man's wife asleep,

daughter guilietta
is at a friends.

Well, the murder team
said they were both

totally distraught when
they heard he was killed.

Guilietta is tiny and
so was her mom.

To get Alessandro
into a water bath,

that would have
taken some muscle.

Ray Barlow is not
exactly small, is he?

Yeah, and why did he leg it

so soon after the murder?

And where was he all those
years, that he was away?

Yeah. Yeah.

Fair enough.

After lunch, why don't you two
have another go at ray Barlow

and Steve and I would talk
to dicky Smith about him.

Okay.

Lunch?

I'm sorry, I don't
get it with her.

Where she's at or
where she's coming from.

Einstein spent his entire
life trying to work that one.

But I've got a funny
feeling about her.

Her and the job.

Which is pretty gorgeous
though, isn't' she?

So was Sandra and
they are big shoes to fill.

I mean, how did
she get this gig?

Strickland, maybe she...

[Steve coughs]

- See you later boss.
- Bye, bye.

Her and strickland.

[Gerry laughs]

You're having a
giraffe, ain't you?

[All laughing]

- How is going?
- Oh

well, it's not
smashing down doors

or going after Russian
gangsters that's for sure.

No.

[Sasha laughing]

And my first case, the first
one I've got is 25 years old.

I mean, it's interesting
but it's just so different.

And what about the
old men of the hills?

Kinda a bit old
fashioned as well.

[Sasha laughing]

They have got one or
too interesting theories.

Interesting?

That's the first time
I've ever heard them

described as that.

[Sasha laughs]

But I did warn you that ucos

was a totally different culture.

Did you?

Yeah, anyway too late now.

How's Rob strickland?

Oh, actually I'm
seeing him in a minute.

Be nice, if we could
have a drink tonight.

I might need one.

I can't, I'm with
the deputy mayor.

But I'll try and sneak
away as soon as I can.

But if I don't go now

he'll be giving me
grief all afternoon.

See you later.

See you.

[Door knocking]

Come in.

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Yes, I just want to see
how things are going.

Seeing how you're settling in.

Oh, yes.

Fine.

Thank you.

And the boys, are they
behaving themselves?

Yeah.

They're being very helpful.

I just want to establish
something right from the off.

As you're well aware,

this unit has a
phenomenal clear up rate.

But they do need managing.

It's a very fine balancing act.

Understood.

Good.

Sir, do you mind if I ask
you something personal?

Yeah, yes of course.

My husband, did you speak to him

at any point during
the selection process?

We speak all the time.

No, I mean about me before
or after the interview period.

Yes. But I can assure you

that the job was
awarded strictly on merit.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

When I was at work,
i'd have a hundred things

to think about.

Five minutes down here

and you forget everything.

I tell you, it's
stress is a killer.

I mean, it's.

We spoke to guilietta, she
said there have been problems

with some of the allotment
holders in the past.

That they were stroppy to her

and Alberto when they were kids.

Yeah, some of the members
don't like kids running around.

You?

No, I had kids of my own.

Who then?

Just between me and you.

None of the blokes
on the allotment

could have killed Alessandro.

I can understand, you
don't want to point the finger

about that.

But let's stop messing around.

We're talking about
ray Barlow, yeah?

Ray, no, no.

Who then?

I don't like to
speak ill of the dead.

Have to remember back in 88,

there were some blocks
here, who'd fought in the war.

And they found
it very difficult.

Names dicky.

Ron stapleton and Ralph mikeer.

Both from the army.

Ralph used to go on
and on about the war.

Never Ron?

Ron never liked to talk
about what he'd seen ever.

[Sombre music]

Well stapletone and
mikeer are in the case file.

I know the original
investigation, checked them out.

Yeah, but there's
nothing in there

about what dicky just said.

About them, not being
able to forget about the war.

And if there were soldiers,

one of them could
easily have killed manzini

and turned him upside down.

Or maybe they acted together.

If we find out where
they were during the war.

Yeah, where they served.

So what you're saying is that

one or both of these
men waited 43 years

until after world war two

and then suddenly snapped.

Rammed a knife in
manzini's in his throat

and stuck him upside down
in the water bath, yeah?

Well.

And ray Barlow is he out
of the picture now then?

No, not at all.

It's still definitely something
not right about him.

Not right.

Okay.

And his motive?

He's got a short
fuse, very short.

If manzini did laugh
at him then I think it's

if?

Okay, what's the
best way to, I mean.

Where do we go with this?

Well, normally what we do.

Obviously there are still
lots of ifs and maybes.

So why don't you, take
the rest of the day off

and we'll have a little
think about things.

Yeah, yeah, excuse me.

How about we come back
here tomorrow morning

when the market's up and running

and all the plot
holders are on site.

On a Saturday?

Let's see how they react,

when they know
we're watching them.

Well, I'd have to clear it
with my daughter, Holly.

Okay, fine, you know.

Great.

Oh stick these in the
boot for me, will you?

Thanks.

[Upbeat music]

I mean, even calling her
governor sticks in my throat.

Or just call her Sasha then.

I can't call her Sasha.

I keep thinking, she's
gonna start singing.

Rain drops keep falling on me.

Sasha distel.

Hey butch Cassidy
and the Sundance kid,

I love that.

Yeah, way to feel mate.

What about a wild bunch.

Oh fantastic.

Hedy west was one.

You know the music in that?

B.j Thomas.

What?

Sorry.

He sang the
original for the film.

Bj. Thomas, not sacha distel.

Why don't you go and
play the quiz machine?

No I can't.

Waiting for more
people to lose on it, first.

I knew it.

What is it?

She's married.

Shit happens.

She's married to ned hancock.

Lucky old ned.

Deputy assistant
commissioner, ned hancock.

I knew his job,
so the boy ain't it.

Well more girls really.

That's it.

What are you gonna do?

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna prove that we
know how to do the job

and she doesn't.

Let's so just have a
little think about things.

Well, I'm going back to work.

What?

Work?

Yeah, well are you coming?

Yeah, sure.

Well, Holly is revising
already, we'll get back there.

See you later then.

Yeah, well see you.

[High energy rock music]

She's not here.

Of course she's not here.

We didn't get the
afternoon off, she did.

Yeah.

Trying to be nice,
pretending to be our mate.

Well she's not.

She's a mate of
that mob upstairs.

Okay, let's do this
job properly, shall we?

Page one.

Alessandro geosepi manzini
was born 3rd July, 1923.

Served in the Italian
army, 1941 to 44.

Captured anzio
January the 29th 44.

Prisoner of war from 1944 to 45.

Leaves Italy in 46,
arriving in London,

April 22nd of the same year.

Listen to this Ron stapleton.

He was with the dim
light infantry in Burma,

but Ralph meeker was
with the eighth army

in north Africa, green Howards.

No, he could have
fought against the Italians.

Well, there you go then.

The Italy's never had a
bad reputation, you know.

The japs, the Germans

but the Italians you
know what I mean

pasta, cappuccino.

What's to hate?

Well, maybe he had a
terrible personal experience

with them.

Where are they now?

Dead.

Stapleton in 89, meeker in 91.

Not long after the murder.

Well, maybe we are
getting somewhere.

Yeah.

[Door bangs]

Hey.

Hi.

Why don't you let
the cleaner do that?

She never gets it right.

It's just safer if I did it.

So day one in the ucos house.

Honestly.

Don't think I can do this.

What are you talking about?

Ucos, I just don't
think I'm right.

What?

Well, it's the guys there.

They work in a
totally different way.

I know it's only day one and
they are technically civilians.

But, it's just with them,

everything's like
hunches and speculation.

It's just like, what if
a suspect did this?

What if a suspect went there?

It's like a completely
different mindset.

Hang on, are you talking
about walking away,

24 hours into the job?

Look, when I was promoted,

I didn't expect to be
running something like ucos.

It's not the work, the cases
are all absolutely worthwhile.

It's just come on, we both know.

It's not the place.

Why do you think
you've been brought in.

It's because of who you are.

The way you go about things.

I know guys like
this, old time cops.

Just give it to them straight.

That's what they're used
to, it's what they want.

- Yeah but, nowadays.
- You can't give up.

It's bound to be hard
the first few days.

But hey, welcome to my world.

[Upbeat music]

[Door squeaking]

[Upbeat music]

Not in the market ray?

No, I don't sell stuff.

That a financial
or ethical decision?

I'll put you down as
undecided, shall I?

So ray from 1989 to 2001
you live in glastonbury

and cornwall till 2004.

2008, you end up in London.

Where were you
between 2004 and 2008?

Ha, say hello to dci Miller.

Nice plot ray, soil looks good.

And it took him five years.

He was away four
years before then.

Where was it again ray?

What you're putting in?

Brassicas.

No need for that ray, I
know you tryna be nice?

Don't, don't touch my lawn.

[Upbeat music]

Hello Alberto.

Did you grow all these yourself?

With a little help
from the man upstairs.

Right.

Look, I want to ask you.

You know Ralph stapleton
and Ralph meeker.

Were they ever like
aggressive, difficult with you

and guilietta when
you were younger?

It's a long time.

[Both laughing]

Hey, come and try
this homemade wine.

Okay, thanks massimo.

How are you doing?

Good, good, go ahead.

Oh, thanks.

Hey Gerry, try some of
these homemade wine.

English red, I don't think so.

Italian red.

Yeah, what grape do use?

Two, sangiovese and nebbiolo.

In London?

You're having a laugh.

Give it a try.

So glammy, and you make this.

You really make this?

Well, I'm gonna
a couple of those.

Yeah me too.

Hey Dan, try this red wine.

You know, legally
you're not allowed

to sell alcohol
without a licence.

I'll have three.

[All laughing]

Having light refreshment?

Yeah, it was still this old work

ain't it on a weekend.

Wow, that's gonna be
some Sunday roast, ain't it?

Just for you and ned?

Guys, could I have a quick word.

Don't sell any of this,
we'll be right back.

Yeah.

Look obviously you and
Sandra Pullman were very close.

And she did a fabulous job.

So I understand this
is a bit difficult for you.

You don't know
me, I don't know you.

So, let's start again, yeah.

And why don't you
come back to mine

and I'll make us some lunch.

And we can talk
through where we are.

So, I'm not gonna poison you.

Well, won't your husband mind?

Well, he's not there.

He's away for three days and
acpo conference in Birmingham.

Sure, okay yeah, why not.

- Yeah.
- I like it.

Great, well, I live
only down the road.

I'll text you the address.

Okay, see you there.

- See ya.
- Bye then.

There you go, number eight.

Bloody hell.

Come through.

Thanks.

Glam, this is lovely.

Thanks, coats.

You haven't done the vegetables.

Oh, I'm waiting for the pie.

Is it all right if opened this?

Yeah, of course.

That's Alex.

He's at uni now, he's
doing modern languages.

And that's maddy.

She's in her first year
at York, doing English.

How's your daughter,
is Holly isn't it?

Yeah, she's fine.

Right and her mother is?

Her mother was sectioned
a couple of years ago.

She's in the secure unit
of the mental hospital.

Just outside guilfdord.

Right?

Actually I don't like
leaving Holly alone too long,

on the weekends.

So should we get on the case?

- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.

I checked out ray Barlow,

after 88 he lived for most of
the time in the west country.

But then for four
years he vanished

before suddenly
reappearing in London

and back at the
allotments in 2008.

Jail?

Abroad?

That's what I think.

Yeah, Gerry and I were
checking out stapleton and meeker.

You know the ex soldiers,

and meeker was
in the eighth army.

Really?

Yeah.

North Africa, sicily, Italy.

Yeah, and manzini was
taking prisoner at anzio.

Anzio?

Exactly.

When did you find out?

Last night at the office.

The office?

Yeah, was that a problem?

No, no I'm just surprised that.

Well, I'm not as surprised
as we were to learn

that you're married to a dac.

Oh, I see.

Is that a problem?

No, not, well, it
wouldn't have been

if you'd let us know.

It's hardly a secret.

Was to us.

I saw you canoodling
in the corridor.

What was he doing?

Checking up on us.

We gonna be under
constant surveillance.

No, I won't have that.

This was a case that
you didn't even want.

So you were trying
on from the start.

That was a joke.

Nobody wants these
cases, that's why they're ours.

It's just their act.

Really?

Well, it's a bloody good one.

Not as good as yours.

I beg your pardon.

Well, what do you think, boys?

What should we do next?

What about this?

What about that?

Steve and I spent hours
and hours trolling through stuff

looking at suspects and clues.

And what have you done.

Why do you think
I've got all these?

What do you think I am?

Some sort of bizarre vegetarian.

The knife, murder
weapon, remember?

Underground at the allotment.

Well, these are soil samples

from almost every plot in there.

And because every
plot is different,

we should be able to ID exactly

where the knife was
buried by the killer.

But so as not to spook them
and have them all do a runner

I had to find all of this,

without anyone realising.

Including us.

You weren't interested,

every time I mentioned
the word forensics.

No sorry, you thought we
weren't sophisticated enough

to act clandestinely and
so you did it on your own.

You said you wanna
be open and honest,

yet you spent the last two days

keeping things away from us.

Gerry, Gerry.

No, I'm sorry.

Quite honestly, if this is
what ucos is gonna become,

I am out of it.

[Orchestral music]

[Door bangs]

Dad, is that you?

Apparently.

You okay?

Fine.

What's she like, the new boss?

I don't know, really.

Different.

Well, what'd she look like?

How old?

40 ish?

Tall, slim, blonde.

Attractive, like a dark what?

Yeah, quite good looking.

Your type?

We were working
Holly, not speed dating.

She's married anyway,
so it's a moot point.

You know, I wonder
about you sometimes.

What you doing?

Just looking someone up.

Seeing where they've
been for the last 20 years.

[Lighthearted guitar music]

[Door squeaking]

[Lighthearted guitar music]

Hi Gerry.

You'll never guess where I am.

And it's a full moon later.

[Lighthearted guitar music]

Shut up, stop moaning
and get over here.

[Lighthearted guitar music]

I'm telling you she's
just jumped up stallion.

Shit, I know what she's doing.

See in there.

In about 10
minutes, it'll be dark.

In 20 minutes, we'd be
freezing our bollocks off.

[Ray humming]

[Dogs barking]

I think it's down this way.

Watch feet.

This is not exactly
how I planned

to spend my Saturday evening.

Shut up.

All right.

Oh shit.

[Sasha yelling ]

[Sasha groans]

All right sunny.

Why don't you make
a bit more noise,

so he comes out
and sees all of us.

Now he is in shit, so
get down and shut up.

Oh changed your mind, Gerry?

Anyway, what are you doing here?

My job, what's your excuse?

Full moon.

Oh don't tell me
you're werewolves.

He's planting.

Brilliant.

[Ray humming]

He is enchanting

[ray humming]

He is bonkers.

[Ray humming]

Right, let's go.

[Upbeat music]

He was in Italy, ray Barlow.

For four years, he disappeared,

he was in Rome.

[Upbeat music]

[Woman moaning]

[Gerry laughs]

How long have you been
having an affair guilietta?

I have to tell you that,

Ray's alibi for the
night your father died

is looking less and
less comfortable.

Ray had nothing to do
with my father's death.

He left London
months after the murder

and it comes back 20 years
later, to the same allotment

and sleeps with the
dead man's daughter.

Pretty weird, even for a druid.

You don't understand?

No I don't.

Where were you the night
Alessandro was murdered?

Okay.

Angela Dunn the friend, you say,

you stayed with her the
night, your father died.

Why don't I call her up?

Check out your alibi.

Ray.

I was with ray.

We were together that night.

What?

You were sleeping together

when you were
engaged to Alberto?

We were in love.

My father was very traditional.

He would never have
allowed ray and I.

Sounds like a motive, no denial.

No.

The next day when I
found out about my father,

I couldn't forgive myself.

It was as if god
had punished me.

I told ray I couldn't
see him again.

Governor, Sasha.

I won't be long.

[Door bangs]

[High pitch music]

Guilietta says that
you were together

the night her father was killed.

That you were lovers,

but Alessandro wouldn't
have let you marry.

Is this true?

Yeah.

How long have
you spoken Italian?

Seven or eight years.

In Italy, Rome, you went there.

To learn Italian.

Because?

Because I never forgot her.

Even after all these years.

I never gave up
on the idea that,

one day she and I
might be together again.

So you came back,

even though she was married.

He doesn't love her no really.

And you restarted your affair.

Because you loved her,

and her father's death
had nothing to do with you.

No.

I don't believe you.

This is a forensics report,
about the pruning knife.

Well, the soil on
it to be precise.

And because the
soil on every plot,

in every allotment is different,

chemical residues,
minerals, metals.

We've been able
to identify exactly

which plot the
knife's been buried in

after all these years.

Yours.

That's impossible.

It can't.

Right, I took these
samples myself.

Forensics don't lie.

Now you explain to me,
how can this be wrong?

Because I've only
had it five years.

Back in 98, it wasn't my plot.

And whose was it?

I don't know.

I can't remember, massimo,
he knows all about the allotment.

He'll know.

It is my plot.

Now so Alberto's.

This was Alessandro's
and this one

at that time, dicky Smith.

Dicky Smith?

Are you sure?

Yes, you don't remember?

Dicky always want
bigger allotment.

Three years after
Alessandro is killed.

1991, Ralph meeker dies.

And dicky Smith, he
takes Ralph's allotment,

which is much bigger and better.

The soil is very good.

[Phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Dan.

No we're just.

[Bouncy piano music]

Anzio.

You've seen this dicky?

Yeah.

We managed to find
out where it's been

for the last 25 years.

On ray Barlow's allotment,
the one that used to be yours.

No, I don't understand.

This knife was used to
kill Alessandro manzini,

was buried in a plot
that you had at the time.

What don't you understand?

Me.

You think it was me?

Yes I do.

How could it have been?

I was home sick with my wife.

Oh, would this be the same
wife that confirmed your alibi?

Yeah, because it's true.

So how did this
knife end up there?

I don't know.

If I'd done it, I mean,

I wouldn't have
buried it in my own plot.

Would I panic?

Well I think you panicked,

just want to get rid of it.

But I'd stuck it somewhere else.

In someone else's allotment.

Would you?

Well, and run the
risk of it being found.

And why would I kill Alessandro?

Do you recognise this dicky?

Well.

That's my birth certificate.

Richard Reginald Smith.

Born acton, London.

Father Richard Michael
Smith, deceased.

Your father's war
record, royal artillery,

killed in action
January the 24th, 1944

- at anzio.
- In

in Italy, at anzio.

Why kill Alessandro manzini,

because he fought him
and was captured at anzio.

The same place
your father was killed.

Alessandro was at anzio?

You know he was.

Must have driven you mad.

A man who fought
where your father died.

But he gets captured,
survives lives on after the war.

He doesn't just come to england,

he gets an allotment
right next door to yours.

I mean, this guy could
have killed your dad at anzio

all these years ago.

No, no, he couldn't have done.

See he surrendered in 43,
Alessandro told us not 44.

That's too late.

I don't know.

Maybe he's just
a really good liar.

Guilietta told the
original murder team

that her father
surrendered in 1943.

We checked out the
Italian pow records at kew,

Alessandro manzini was taken
prisoner on January the 29th,

1944 at anzio.

So why did Alessandro
lie to everybody?

I don't know, but look at this.

The Italian army
surrendered to the allies

in September, 1943.

Manzini had already
been arrested.

And?

On September 12th, he's
rescued by the Germans

who set him up as
head of a puppet regime.

The republic of salo.

Fascinating.

You don't like history, Gerry.

I'm a bit busy just now.

You'll be even
busier in a minute.

The Italian army
wasn't at anzio.

Not that Italian army anyway.

Alberto, is your
father not here?

No, why?

We need to speak to him.

Well, he went out
after you left earlier on.

What about?

He's from livorno, am I right?

Does he go back there?

No, his father died
June in the war.

His mum just after.

He said there was
nothing to go back for.

Your father had
two elder brothers.

He never tell you.

They were members
of a group of partisans

executed on the farm in
livorno in September 44.

Where'd you get that from?

They were killed by
facetious militia men.

Their own countrymen.

Afterwards, their bodies
were thrown down the well.

Your father was at home
with his mother, he was 13.

Papa never had any brothers.

I know he didn't.

What you want him about?

You say that he went
out just after we left.

But you don't know where?

[Upbeat music]

Hang on Alberto,
hang on, hang on.

Take it easy, take it easy.

You'll see your dad later.

Just stay with us
for a minute, okay?

Take it easy.

[Intense techno music]

I had some of your wine massimo,

it's really excellent.

Yes, not many people even try

to make red wine
in this country.

Certainly, not 25 years ago.

But we look at this
soil, at the right place.

Bright, hot in summer.

And Alessandro, he find someone

who brings the vines all
the way back from Italy.

When did you first find out,

that he'd been a
committed fascist?

Not until the day I killed him.

Until that day, he is my friend.

Massimo, I must warn you that

if you're admitting that you
killed Alessandro manzini.

I like you, I watch you clever,

always at work
like my son Alberto.

Then when you come to
ask about the allotments,

I know.

I know you are near.

More than 30 years, we
are friends, Alessandro and I.

Our children play
together, grow up together.

In all this time, we hardly
speak about the past.

The Italy of the past
is a country of sadness.

Until?

And then one day, winter,
I drink last years wine.

And I realised
that the new wine,

Alessandro and I
make will not be ready.

So I go back to the allotment,

but I find Alessandro.

And we try the wine.

And it is the best
wine we ever make.

So we drink more, more

and more.

Until we are drunk.

Very drunk.

Alessandro begins to sing.

[ Alessandro speaking
in foreign language]

[Massimo speaking
in foreign language]

You?

You Italian fascist.

[ Alessandro speaking
in foreign language]

I grab him, I ask him
how can he sing this song?

He says it's a fine song.

A great song.

[ Both speaking in
foreign language]

I say, it is the song of the
people who killed my father

and brothers Luka and Giovanni.

Alessandro stares,
cold suddenly.

And he says, in which
case they deserve to die.

[Intense rock music]

He dies like a pig, after

[ Sasha speaking
in foreign language]

I put him upside down

like a body in a well.

You stuck the
knife in his throat

to shut him up and buried
it in dicky Smith's allotment.

Dicky Smith always
talks about us.

He thinks we don't hear.

Italians are cowards,
worthless, hopeless.

He knows nothing
about my family.

About how many
Italians give their lives,

fighting fascists.

But then the ground
freezes and nobody can dig.

Even the police give up.

And I think, what
does it matter?

[Grieving guitar music]

Well, he's been cautioned,

but to be honest he
seems pretty fatalistic

about what's gonna
happen to him.

And he's how old?

82.

Is he terminally ill?

Some says he's strong as an ox.

So all this time nobody
knew or said anything.

Well, you suddenly
hit the ground running.

How long did it take
you to crack this?

Four days?

Three.

Not me, I just tagged along.

Let them get on with it.

Yeah, it was nice work.

Forgot I didn't tell
them, but I admire them.

So you decided not to stay.

For the last day sir.

What?

The acpo conference?

Oh no, no, hardly anybody did.

Two nights in
Birmingham, god forbid.

Welcome aboard.

[Car engine revs]

[Orchestral music]

What did he say?

What did you say?

I said, I just let
you get on with it.

And then he said, well done.

And that he admired you.

He's a bloody liar.

He a dac.

And do you speak Italian?

Well, I try to, you never said.

[ Sasha speaking
in foreign language]

Pardon.

You never show all your
hand at once, do you?

Come on.

[Car engine revs]

[Bouncy piano music]

Hi, dci Miller,
metropolitan police,

unsolved of crime
and open case squad.

I have reason to believe
a crimes being committed

in one of your guests rooms.

No, it's okay.

Stay calm.

I just need to have a
look at your room list.

Thank you.

Could I have a room
master key please.

[Bouncy piano music]

[Man moaning]

Darling?

Sasha?

You're not wearing your uniform.

I can see you're busy.

I'll see myself out.

[Sombre piano music]

Oh, shit.

[Sombre piano music]

[Door bangs]

[Sombre piano music]

[Footsteps clattering]

[Sombre piano music]
