And Eli's going to go to your prayer as well.

Come on, man.

Inshallah.

Hi, bud.

Strangling a flaming cat again.

Yeah, well, I have nothing more to say to you.

Hello.

Yeah.

OK, I'm on my way.

Do I know you?

I'm with Michael. You said you were cool.

Oh, right.

Can you tell him he's going to have to help Connie give the kids breakfast?

Because I've got to go to...

Boss? Richard, hi.

Thanks. What's the damage?

We think the victim is the tenant, Ali Rafiq, 24, part -time muller at the

mosque. Also owns a youth group at the community centre.

Right. What makes you think it's Arthur?

Fire brigade reckon it started here in the front hallway. Also, the bloke

talking to Butchers saw somebody running down the street about an hour ago, just

before it started.

Right. What's our witness up to at 4 .30 in the morning?

Early riser. Wants to walk through his paper.

Not much left of him to see up there, either.

Didn't make it out of the bedroom.

Window frame screwed together.

Secure it. Oh.

Any forensics?

Yeah. No, I guess not.

We'll get a house -to -house, then, as soon as we reach a reasonable hour.

expect much round here, though.

None of the whites, none of the Asians trust us much at the moment.

Let's zap -run that.

You and Butchers concentrate on the victim. Family, friends, any associates.

Anyone who might have had a grudge against him.

Our witness boss reckons it was a bloke he saw wearing a black balaclava and big

gloves. Right, let's find out all we can about Ali Rafiq by 11 o 'clock. See you

in the briefing room.

A man has yet to be identified as died in a house fire. That's all the

information we have at present.

Come in.

Yeah. Thanks, Jeff. I really appreciate it.

I've got your 20 more uniform.

It should help keep the lid on things. I need to visit the Al -Nor mosque and

I'd like to co -opt an agent officer onto the squad. Stop me putting my foot

it. Sounds like a good idea. I'll just get all the community liaisons.

The whole area is a tinderbox. One Briton have been stirring this lot up

months. I think burning a priest to death is a bit extreme, even by their

standards.

Right, ladies and gents.

Ali Rafiq.

Lived alone. It was the middle of the night.

Fire investigation people are pretty sure the blade starts at the front door,

it's either arson or murder.

And we know he worked with problem teenagers during the day. He was a part

muller at the local mosque. By all accounts, he was a pretty decent bloke.

else? First in Pakistan, sister in Leicester.

Single, non -drinker, obviously.

School governor and runs marathons for charity. Hey, the Asians, you may have

it.

Anything from house to house?

You all right?

Most of the Asians reckon it's one Briton trying to start a riot, ma 'am.

One Britain?

Why would they want a riot? I thought they were going mainstream.

Fear. Whites fighting Asians means more votes for far right. Could have been one

of the kids he was working with, boss. Mostly ex -offenders. Ooh, nice bunch.

Problem kids.

Yeah, possible.

Right, what about our witness, Mr Hollis?

74, boss. Oh, hello.

Shaz Chowdhury, ma 'am. Community liaison?

Right, yeah, nice to meet you.

PC Chowdhury is going to be giving us a hand.

Shaz? Shaz, you used to go out with us, Shaz, didn't you?

No wonder we never met.

Yeah, all right, just book in, give as good as you get. Mr Hollis.

Like I said, boss, male, 5 '10", balaclava and gloves.

And who knows, male?

Well, apparently he didn't run like a girl.

Oh, right, reliable then.

Forensics. Sweet F, eh?

OK, we're going to keep knocking on doors until we find someone who saw

something. Richard, I want you to concentrate on one Britain.

Shout to you and me down the mosque.

Mate, mate, mate, mate.

Mind yourself.

She likes them young.

Especially in uniform.

What does a mullah do exactly?

Same as a Christian priest.

Lead prayers, teach children the Quran, visit the sick, weddings.

The women's entrance is just along there.

Asked for Ali's office, told me to go in there.

Oh, and no shoes inside.

Um, ma 'am, one more thing.

Don't forget to cover your... Kids could see me now.

Was he born here?

Yeah. It was a nice block.

Played football with him a couple of times.

Harry Peters, non -Britain.

I came to get shots of him.

What does it say?

Those who believe and do good are made to enter gardens beneath which rivers

flow. Their greeting therein is peace.

It's from the Koran.

The One Britain Party accepts that 6 % of British subjects are immigrants.

That's why we're called One Britain. We're just trying to find a way of

with a situation that's fair to everyone. By segregation?

By creating black, Asian and white schools? Black, white and Asian streets?

Look, with respect, Mr Rafiq, it is the Muslim community who seem to want

segregation, not us.

Us? Well, I thought we were all living in one Britain. Let's not be childish

about this. Different communities have different needs. So what you're arguing

for is separation imposed by a white majority.

In South Africa, the word for racial separation was apartheid. Yes, yes, and

look at the bloody mess they're in without it.

Ali got death threats after that. Log three complaints.

Any suspects?

No, couldn't trace a call, apparently.

I had

a

couple of pints down the mason's arms and then I went home.

83 Bradley Road.

Anyone confirm that? Your wife?

I live alone, so you'll have to take my word for it.

Is that it?

Well, I'd appreciate it if you and your colleagues could keep a low profile for

a couple of days.

Right, and you saying the same to the gangs of Asian lads roaming the streets?

I'm just asking you not to do anything provocative for a while, and that

includes wireposting. Look, I'm not provoking anyone, and I am not a racist.

All I'm arguing for is the same as the Muslims.

Yeah, I've heard your argument.

How many Asian members have you got?

How many white blokes they got down the moth?

Eh? Will I be welcome down there?

Do us a favour, pal. Thank you very much, Mr Peters. Let's go.

Let's go.

What a dickhead.

If you're new to this, I'm sure they didn't hear that, but in future, don't

let your personal feelings interfere when you're talking to a member of the

public.

Sorry, ma 'am.

This is what, a community centre?

Yeah, a youth centre.

How long have you worked here?

About five years.

Now, you've all heard about Ali Rufiq's murder.

That's why we're here.

I know a lot of you have problems with the police.

But if you know anything at all, please, I'm asking you to challenge.

Everyone knows there was a racist who killed him. What are you wasting your

for? Why are you out there nicking them?

Get out. What are you doing?

Yeah, but what we need is evidence.

You've got no bloody evidence. Get out of here.

This is what the racists want. We're not buying all that shit! We want to force

you into violence!

We're not killing them, yeah? We're not killing them!

Get out of my face!

Oh, hello.

Hi.

Look, Mummy, we're making chocolate cake for my school.

What, for everyone?

Don't be silly.

For Mrs Evans.

She's leaving.

We're having a party.

Oh, I should have said I got you something.

I told you twice.

Oh, not twice. Isn't this tough, T -shirt?

Dryers packed up full of baby girls.

That was the smallest thing I could find. Oh, God, I'm sorry. I'll sort it.

Michael, I ran into a friend of yours this morning.

She got a name.

It's Katie.

She's his girlfriend.

And they keep locking themselves in his room and taking all the stuff from my

one spot.

I've worked with them.

Thanks. They never stop snogging.

It's gross.

He's back on the ground.

Richard. Hiya.

Hi.

Um, come in.

I won't stop.

I thought you'd like to see this.

Social services called the incident room.

They've had two anonymous complaints in recent weeks from Dad, who said that Ali

Rafiq was beating their kids in Koran classes.

Why anonymous?

Probably scared of the mosque.

You're taking him washing? Yeah, my dryer's broken. I need a new one.

I need to deal with it.

I'll go down there with you if you like. No, it's all right. Take a shot.

The new model?

Yeah. But you know it's a big hairdo.

Are we meeting here?

The Imam.

He's the head of the mosque.

His boss, then. Anything I need to know?

Might be respectful not to wear any perfume.

Or make -up.

No make -up?

Blimey. Let's hope the Imam doesn't scare her easily.

This is Detective Chief Inspector Lewis, Mr. Jamil Khan, Governor of the Board

of Trustees,

Mr. Khalid Khan, his brother, Treasurer, and Imam Farhad.

Pleased to meet you, gentlemen.

And you.

Please take a seat. Thank you.

We are the temporal leaders of the mosque, Chief Inspector.

Imam Saeed's responsibilities are spiritual.

We extend our sympathy. It's a terrible tragedy.

Something like this has been threatening to happen for months.

Ali Rafiq was very dear to us all, Chief Inspector.

He had the rare gift of communicating with the young, which I do not.

That is why there is so much anger.

Do you happen to know if he'd made any enemies in Mum Farzad?

We know he'd had threats.

Yes, I believe he did.

He was not afraid to stand up and speak the truth.

We are not a racist organisation.

Now, people say this, but they just don't get it.

To each his own.

Live and let live, that's what we say.

But you can't change human nature.

Oil and water don't mix.

Well,

he was a simple priest, madam. His whole life was in the mosque with the

children.

I, um... But, um...

Records of complaints have come in recently.

Both the callers said that Ali Rafiq had hit their young sons repeatedly about

the head. Oh, that's ridiculous.

He would never strike a child.

We follow very strict guidelines.

My two nephews still get smacked at their mosque.

Not here.

Perhaps the caller was trying to discredit him.

There were a lot of people who thought he was too liberal.

No one has said that to me.

With respect to him, I'm sad.

Very few people would dare to.

With respect to you, PC Chaudhry, you do not attend our mosque and you do not

know me. I really cannot believe that one of our members would have set his

house on fire.

They might have seen Ali as a turncoat.

Somebody harming Islam, betraying it even. Somebody might say the same about

you, PC Chaudhry.

I trust they would be equally mistaken.

I thought I told you to keep your opinions to yourself.

I know I went a bit far, ma 'am, but you can see what's happening. They're

closing rounds.

I'm afraid of.

This community works on trust and respect for the elders.

They like to sort things out themselves.

I understand it, but it can't keep doing that.

What about your generation? What do you think?

We want it both ways.

Our own culture, but without all the rules.

Maybe we should have more faith in him and Farzad. Maybe he's shrewder than we

think.

Or he's hiding something.

I think he wants his outsiders asking questions and interfering.

What's going on there? Lads are getting a bit restless.

You know what it's like. Clubs and offices are always first in line.

Let me read you something.

The native people of Britain are sick and tired of bearing the burden of

immigration.

They are sick and tired of their children suffering in schools crammed

-English -speaking Asians.

Yeah. They are sick and tired of the erosion of British culture.

Those are your words, Mr Peters? Yeah, that is what people tell me. So are you

sick and tired of me?

You want me out of the way, and if I don't go, you want me dead.

That's what's really underneath all these words, isn't it?

Right. As the boss keeps reminding me, this situation could get quite ugly, so

let's keep focused. It's a murder, it's our job to find out who did it. So,

Richard.

They've done a bit of digging on Barry Peters and friends. They go on the

internet a lot, posing as Asian lads, winding people up, spreading rumours,

know. So why would they set fire to Ali Rafiq's house if they're trying to stay

hidden? Maybe Ali was on to them.

All right, Columbo, you're not in CID yet.

Anything else?

Yeah, Ali had new Every Duty Locks fitted on his front door about three

ago. Right, so maybe he'd had threats recently, been burgled?

Not that you reported, boss.

He weren't exactly popular with the local drug dealers, either.

Apparently he'd been encouraging the local youth to inform on them.

Right, so what have we got? He'd been threatened by racists, he was working

teenage offenders, he may have had enemies within his own community, and he

taking on local drug dealers.

Apart from that, he kept himself to himself.

Right, and he'd upped the security on his own house recently.

He must have told someone what he was frightened of. I want us to find out who

it was.

Right, you and me off on a mystery tour?

Yeah.

Any chance I can go in plain clothes?

I feel a bit out of place like this.

Yeah, all right.

I'll just keep the cap.

I tried to keep this place looking just like a normal playgroup for mums with

little kids. Right.

But really, when we can come and start up their problems, you know, away from

their families.

They've even got counsellors and doctors.

Annie,

this is Detective Chief Inspector Lewis.

That Janine's fine. Hello.

I told Janine you were a girlfriend of Ali Rafiq's.

Yeah, I still can't believe it.

I'd like her to know what he did for the girls here.

He didn't judge people.

If a girl was pregnant or in trouble with drugs, he'd help them out.

They could trust him not to tell their families.

And you doctors, you'd see young people in total confidence.

I'm talking about some parents who would kick the girls out onto the street or

even ship them back to Pakistan if they found out. Or worse.

Did any of the parents ever find out what you were doing for the girls?

I don't know.

If they did, it would have put them in a difficult position, with Ali being a

mullah. Did he tell you anything?

He never discussed anyone else's business.

A lot of people's secrets died with Ali.

Well, you can tell the women here that whatever they tell me will be the

strictest confidence. I don't even want to know their names. I'll see what I can

do.

Right, I'll, um, see you outside.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

Yeah, we've got a bit of a lead, boss. Stopped a lad on a roadblock who was a

witness in court with Ali last October.

Saw him being assaulted by a drug dealer, Mark Clayton.

Ali was encouraging the kids to grass him up.

Where's Clayton now?

Yeah, doing 18 months in straightaway. He stopped the assault on Ali, but went

down for possession.

Good alibi.

Yeah, I had a word with a mate at a local crime squad. Apparently he was a

nasty piece of work.

Oh, Brisbane, Brisbane.

I love it.

Tell Richard to meet me there.

Hi.

Yeah. Hi.

I'm going to need some uniformed backup outside of Nathan's hands. I'm sorting

it. Without, I don't know, 10 or 12 used cousins.

Detective

Sergeant

Butcher, I'm investigating the death of Mr. Ali Rafiq. I can help you.

Well, I believe you're operating a 24 -hour site here.

All your morning, lads, starts about 4 .30 a .m.? Yes.

I thought so about the time Ali Rafiq's house went up, and I was wondering if

any of your lads had seen anything.

Come into my office.

Yeah.

Nothing to do with me.

I was tucked up in here.

So you've got five previous convictions for violence, two of them quite serious

attacks.

Shameful, isn't it?

Police report says you attacked Hala Rafiq with a baseball bat.

Not what the jury thought.

But he was encouraging kids to inform on drug dealers, yourself included.

He's probably the reason why you're in here.

He was certainly a busy bugger.

Mr Clayton, you do realise we're going to check on every visit, every phone

call, every piece of correspondence you've had since your conviction?

I didn't have him killed, but I'm not surprised someone did.

Any idea who that might have been?

What's in it for me?

Well, it depends what you give us.

He should have stayed off the streets.

Stuck to what he was good at.

Meaning?

You make me an offer, I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, I'm not doing a deal with you.

Your choice.

Yeah, goodbye, Mr Clayton.

What's his delightful character?

You think he's got so much talent?

Well, maybe, but I don't think I'd trust it, even if he had.

I'd have to do this the old -fashioned way.

So, what's our best theory?

And he was killed by a drug dealer.

I need to tell the chief consul. Well, what evidence there is is stacking up

that way.

It'd be good for all of us if it's true. Why no politics, then?

P .R. Phil the Lining, do you mean?

Boss, got a new witness in downstairs.

Young lad. Saw the lot. Guess who?

Local businessman and politician, Barry Peters.

Right. See him now. Don't want anyone talking to him till that tape's rolling.

I saw this white man coming in my direction, but on the inside of the

Pulled some sort of hood down over his face and then stopped off at Ali's

I couldn't see exactly what he was doing, but then he just ran off.

See his face?

Yeah. I knew who it was straight away.

That one Britain man.

Barry Peter.

How do you know him?

Lives around here, doesn't he?

He's in all those places.

Sir? Is there anything about this incident that you haven't told us?

You notice anything else about his appearance?

Why didn't you come forward earlier?

Scared.

Scared they were going to kill me.

Why would Peter set fire to Ali's house himself?

Why not give one of his heavies to do it for him?

Lead him by example?

Piss more lightly.

Block lives next door to the Masons. Reckon there was a lock -in past

He didn't mention the glove. It's a clear recognition.

Let's put him in a line -up. If the lad picks him out, we've got him.

What's this?

For God's sake.

Right.

Drive on. Who the hell told them they'd been tipped off? Someone down the

station. Don't look at me.

The angry crowd of supporters gathered outside Peter's house some time before

police arrived, leading to allegations that he'd been pissed off about his

impending arrest.

But while the One Britain Party claim their man is innocent and has been set

as a political state ghost, the police maintain that the evidence against him

overwhelming.

Okay, I think Michael has a revision going.

We could go upstairs.

Forget it. I'd better go home.

Sorry, I've got to flesh out again in a minute. Oh.

Okay. Oh, God, I'm sorry.

It's your evening class, isn't it? I can't let you miss it again.

I don't mind.

No, no, no, it's all right. I'll phone Pete. He owes me anyway.

Dad! Rubbish at maths.

Why can't you stay?

Because Mum's got to see a murderer.

Oh, Tom.

Are you going to introduce me?

This is his first proper girlfriend.

Pete, yeah, it's me, emergency. I need you to babysit.

Yeah, yeah, you can.

Prize yourself away from the telly. Put down that beer and I'll see you in 20

minutes.

Is Glitzer around, Joe?

Yeah. I had a result.

There's a fucking little bowl of pettled crescent in it.

Penis dabs all over it.

There you are. The chief constable wants to know who tipped him off. The media

already have us down as harbouring a racist.

Well, it's none of my lot.

He's a frame.

That's what this is. This is a cynical abuse of my human rights.

Interview commenced at 20 .18. Persons present, DCI Janine Lewis, DI Richard

Mayne, suspect Barry Peters and solicitor Mr... Roy Kennedy. Look, I

trying to fit me up for this, but I want this on video. I had nothing to do with

it. Nothing.

These were taken in the alleyway behind your house this evening.

The milk bottle contains traces of petrol and it has your fingerprints on

You're having a laugh, aren't you?

What time did you leave the mason's hours, Mr Peter? You're not going to get

away with this.

I'm not going to let this go. I am going to sue you to hell and back. We also

have an eyewitness who saw you approaching Annie Rafique's house at 4

yesterday morning.

Now, let me tell you something.

About half an hour before you turned up, I had a phone call from an Asian

gentleman.

They're coming for you, Barry, he said.

They're going to fit you up for being a racist pig. So don't tell me about your

evidence. It's a lie.

I didn't kill the man.

I didn't kill him.

What happened here?

Tom kept going on to Eleanor about murderers.

It still gets to me when they're like this.

Yeah.

Do you want to go and carry them up?

Yeah, in a minute. I need to have a talk to you about Michael.

Oh, is this about Katie?

Have you spoken to him?

No, but Enda tells me she's got mint gear, wicked dreads and that they are

sleeping together.

Did she say that?

Sing that out.

Well, she was here in the morning in nothing but a T -shirt and virtually no

knickers. Well, you know, maybe you ought to have a word with him.

Me?

I thought it should be us.

No.

Well, I can't now. He's out and I'm... How about I put round at the weekend?

Well wriggled.

I will, promise. You know, it's just... It ought to be the right time. It's

sensitive stuff.

Right.

Well, you can put these two to bed. I'm shattered.

Ready?

See you, Cam. The person that you saw may be one of them, or we may not be

at all.

You think that's him?

Yeah.

So far.

Can I have a word with him?

Well, he took his time over it. You're there in the end. Do you think we've got

enough, sir? I mean, it's mostly circumstantial.

If Peters gets off through lack of evidence, we really will be panned.

a decent eyewitness and a murder weapon. What more do we need?

Well, what about Peters' claim that he was called shortly before his arrest?

Don't you think I should rule it out at least? We're charging him and you're

checking him to court in one hour.

Did, um, where's my ID?

Well, yeah, more or less. Listen, I need to speak to Imam Farzad. Give him a

ring. Tell him we're on our way.

Sure.

Imam Farzad, Mr Khan, thank you very much for seeing us.

PC Chaudhry has told you that Rizwan Hussain has identified Barry Peters as

arsonist? Yes, he's a courageous boy.

An allegation has been made that I want to clear up.

Barry Peters says that he was telephoned shortly before his arrest by an Asian

man who claimed that Mr Peters was being framed.

And you are taking this seriously, Chief Inspector?

So even though the boy has identified Peters, you're trying to prove his

innocence? It's in all our interest that the case against Barry Peters is

watertight. Now, if Ali had any enemies within his own community, I need to

know. Detective Chief Inspector, our families have lived and worked here

peacefully for 40 years, but now we've seen that the enemy within.

Why would we want to harbour extremists? We know they're out there.

Not in this mosque.

Calling Mr Peters.

Remand seven days.

Mr. Kennedy.

Sir, the fact that Mr. Peters has been charged with this offence is really

astounding. The only evidence against him is a questionable identification by

boy who has seen my client's face on election posters.

I would argue strenuously that Mr. Peters be granted bail immediately.

And what about this plastic milk bottle?

One assumes it has been retrieved from my client's dustbin and petrol added at

some later stage.

Sir, you've seen from the interview transcript that my client received an

anonymous phone call before his arrest.

Yes. Is the officer in the case here? Yes, sir.

And what is your primary objection to bail?

concerned that Mr Peters would cause a breach of the peace, sir, and might

incite others to do so.

You will be remanded in custody, Mr Peters, for seven days.

But I will be reviewing the situation very carefully next time.

Sir, I will appeal this decision immediately.

This is a fictional and innocent...

Think we've got our man?

Do you?

I hope so.

You don't sound convinced.

Well, granted I wouldn't have him round for tea, but I don't know, something.

I can't imagine him being that stupid.

Well, I can't agree on that one, ma 'am. The man's a thug.

Yeah, maybe.

See what else we can get on him, yeah?

Yes, sir? Janine?

Janine, where are you?

Well, I've not seen any statements yet.

I've got the CPS on the phone every ten flaming minutes.

I'm on my way, sir. I can't hear you. You're breaking up. I can't hear you at

all. Janine.

Can we help you, Chief Inspector?

Yeah.

My company's developing the site.

Right, I see.

Actually, I just wanted to ask Mr Salik if he could tell me what time Rizwan

Hussain arrived for work on Tuesday morning.

Of course.

4 .45am.

Right. I thought his shift started at 4 .30.

He must have been late.

Yeah. Yeah, he told us he was in Harrington Street at 4 .25, and that's

what, five minutes from here.

Maybe he was just mistaken.

Yeah. Rizwan's a good worker.

He's my wife's nephew, madam. I assure you he's a very reliable young man.

Yeah, yeah, but I'm sure he is. Excuse me.

Richard? Rizwan's house has been attacked. They've made a right mess of

Right, come in now.

Well, um, thanks for this.

Where's Ridwan now?

He was already at the safe house with his mum and dad.

I thought we had a uniform here. There was, until a gang turned up and put him

in hospital.

Any witnesses?

Well, for what it's worth, the bloke over there said that they all had London

accents. Barry Peter's lot probably butted them up especially.

Oh, great. I thought we needed a load of cockney head cases up in the ante.

Look at your digging turned up.

Apparently there's a couple of things we can get Peters for, but this isn't one.

He had loose DCI Lewis.

It's all right.

He's safe.

It's no mercy.

There's no danger of him backing out, is there?

I think it's more than his life's worth.

However, we have a problem.

It took him 20 minutes to walk the 300 yards from Rafiq's house to the building

site. We have to disclose it to the defence. It blows a huge hole in his

credibility. I don't think we've got enough, sir.

What are we going to do now?

I don't know.

Pray?

I think I'll go and talk to him, see if he...

Come.

Statement from a local at the Macon Damned. Says Barry Petey talks a much

tougher game when he's had a few.

Why would a celibate muller have a double bed?

Takes up half the room.

How many people lived at this house?

Just him, as far as I can see.

No sign of anyone else?

Nothing so far.

But you might want to have a look at this.

Pound it in his desk.

Got you a bit to translate that lot.

Hmm.

And this.

It's certainly not his mum.

Yeah, Shaz, I'm in the evidence room.

Could you use your help?

I can't bear to be away from you, even for a minute.

I hate going to bed without you.

I lie awake for hours just thinking of you.

Wishing I was with you.

That's all I can make out.

I can't find a name on it.

I suppose sex before marriage is a bit of a no -no for a mother.

Yeah. One to ten?

Twenty -five.

You don't recognise her?

No.

But it was definitely taken here. No girl would dress like that in Pakistan.

I suppose her mum's father might know her.

Who are you going to do this to him?

I've spoken to him.

Rizwan's father.

Very shaken.

They'd like you to visit.

Thank you, Khalid.

I will visit them very soon.

Thank you.

Imam Faza, I'm sorry to bother you again, but we found something at Ali

house I'd like to look at.

Do you know if Ali was seeing anybody? A girlfriend, perhaps?

He was a mullah.

He did not have girlfriends.

Right. Only, um, we found this photograph with the letters. It seems

to assume that she wrote them.

Ali was not involved with this girl.

He was a moral man.

Do you know who she is?

Where we could find her?

She works for her father.

He is a good man.

They are a very religious family.

Ali's death is nothing to do with them.

Please, I implore you, do not blacken their name.

Who is Shaman Farzad?

Her name is Anissa.

She is Khalid Khan's daughter.

Mum, this is Mina. She's a friend of Anissa Khan's. Annie knows her through

playgroup. Hello, it's Mina, Annie.

I've told Mina we're trying to approach Anissa without her family finding out,

but there's a bit of a problem.

I don't know where she is.

She's been gone for about three days.

The last time Mina saw her was the afternoon before Annie died.

I went to her dad's shop yesterday.

She usually works there on Wednesdays, but it was only her brother, Waheed,

there.

He said that she'd left to see relatives in Pakistan on Tuesday, but she never

told me anything about it.

I've called around the airline. There was only one Manchester flight to

on Tuesday.

She wasn't on it.

Where do you think she is?

No idea.

Shazza's told you about the letters and the photograph?

Yeah.

You recognise the handwriting?

Yeah.

It's the niece's.

What's happened to her?

If her dad knew about this, he'd kill her.

Have you asked her family if they knew?

Not yet. I'm trying to act in the girl's best interest.

We've got a choice, though.

We either try and find Aneesa Khan ourselves or disclose the documents to

Peter's solicitor. Let them find her. I know which I'd prefer.

I'm going to apply for a warrant to search Khan's house. The entire Asian

community's going to be up in arms. As far as they're concerned, the guilty

man's already behind bars.

We've got no option.

We may be damned if we do, but we'll certainly be damned if we don't.

Here we go, Mum.

What is this? What are you doing here? Search your address for any evidence of

the death of Ali Rafiq. What are you looking for? Mr. Rafiq has a number of

letters written to him from your daughter, Anissa.

Anissa? Is she staying at this address at the moment? No, she's away. She's in

Pakistan. Can you provide us with information of where we might contact

What are you accusing me of? I've done nothing.

Please, Mr.

Khan. Look, what about my mother? It won't take long. Please, Mr. Khan.

Well, wherever she's gone, she's travelling life.

My type of woman.

You might do with a pair of speedos and a toothbrush, I suppose.

And the old T -shirt. I've got to be careful.

Fair skin.

Oh.

She won't have got far without this.

Where is she, Mr Khan?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Just disappeared.

She hasn't been home since I... It's the night Ali Rafiq died.

Why'd you say she's from Pakistan?

Did you know they were lovers?

No, no, that's not true.

Janine, I found something.

I think you might want to have a look.

I'll elaborate. Look.

We slept down here under some blanket frost.

You didn't get rid of him.

Tight. My new official merchandise.

Maybe you didn't want to get rid of him.

Why, could we?

Where's your phone at the moment, Mr Khan?

Those gloves and balaclava yours, Waheed?

No.

Do you ever wear them?

We're carrying out DNA tests.

If you wore them, they'll prove it.

Where were you the early hours of Tuesday morning, Waheed?

At home.

Can you tell us where your sister Anissa is at the moment?

I don't know.

Did you know she was having an affair with Ali Rafiq?

You are in serious trouble, Waheed.

I've got an independent eyewitness who saw a figure wearing balaclava and

just like yours running away from the direction of Ali Rafiq's house.

That person was you, wasn't it?

No.

One way or another, we're going to find out the truth.

Waheed?

Did someone tell you to do that?

No. It was your dad, wasn't it? No!

No!

Tell me the truth, Wahid.

I trusted her.

When she said she was out with girlfriends in the evening, I trusted

And you had no idea she was having an affair with Ali Rafiq?

A mother?

No.

I can't believe they would both betray me this way.

Mr. Khan, did you ask your son to set fire to Ali Rafiq's house?

This has nothing to do with us.

Nothing.

I think you told your son to kill your daughter's lover, Mr. Khan.

Luminary test results.

Places of petrol on the gloves.

Hair similar to Waheed's on the balaclava.

Final DNA results should be through tomorrow.

And Ali killing.

No, sir, just the murder.

So, Cousin Rizwan has been lying to protect them. Looks like it. And the

alive or dead?

Anybody's guess.

I'm not going to look my pillocks for a minute. Barry Peters, go.

We've done nothing wrong, sir. We've only acted on evidence.

And how are we going to convince the Asian community of that? Janine, it does

not matter how much evidence we have. Enough people are going to believe that

we've set Khaled Khan up.

Sir, why don't you try to involve your man father?

People are more likely to listen to him. It's worth a try.

All right.

See if he'll agree to do the usual with the media. In the meantime, I shall go

and explain myself to the chief constable.

Relations, sir. Family flowers only.

Imam Farzad sends his apologies, but he feels he has assisted you as much as he

can.

I only want to explain the situation, stop any misunderstandings getting out

hand.

Misunderstandings, as I understand it.

You have arrested my nephew on suspicion of murder and are accusing my brother

of having incited him. Well, as yet, neither of them have been charged.

But the forensic evidence against Waheed is extremely strong.

Well, even you will agree.

Madam Chief Inspector, that the so -called evidence is very convenient.

Actually, Mr Khan, it couldn't be more inconvenient. I do sympathise with you,

but surely neither of us wants a riot on our hands. Well, neither Imam Farzad

nor the governors of this mosque have anything more to say. And if you have no

more business here, I would request you kindly to leave.

Detective Superintendent Leonard Hackett had this to say.

As a result of information uncovered this afternoon by Detective Chief

Janine Lewis and her team, two more individuals are currently assisting us

our inquiries.

We will give you more information at the appropriate... Hi, Connie.

Hi.

Very quiet.

Early bed. They needed it.

You have to give me lessons.

Michael. I think I might have upset him.

He came home with Katie again.

I only asked him to turn their music down.

Say anything.

He had a bit of a go at me.

Said I had no right to tell him what to do.

Teenagers, they're working. I know.

If he does it again, tell him where to get off.

I'll have a word.

Have you thought?

Michael, please.

What? Connie can't look after the children with your music shaking the

bits. This whole family depends on her.

She's virtually beaten my daughter. I don't blame her.

I wanted to talk to you about Katie as well. I was hoping your dad would be

soon. Shouldn't have kicked him out then, should you? Oh, grow up, Michael.

How old is she?

Sixteen. Good.

Do our parents know? Know what?

That you're sleeping together.

What do you mean?

I just want to make sure that you're careful. If you do do something... Mum,

we're not having sex, if that's what you mean. She doesn't want to. It's not the

70s.

Hello? Chief Inspector Lewis.

Yeah.

Demand for... Yeah.

Mum, I can't get to sleep.

Mum. Yeah?

Can I have a bedtime story?

I'll be right there.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy whose mummy promised that tomorrow

she'd read him the longest story in the whole wide world, so long as he went to

sleep like...

I was contacted by a colleague in Leeds this afternoon.

Ali and Anissa went to him two months ago and were married.

Married? That is the official certificate.

Ali asked him to tell no one.

I assure you, this is the first I've known of it.

Well, it's a desperate to keep it secret.

Where do you think she is?

That is something you will have to ask her father.

Yeah.

Mr Khan, I'd like to talk to you about your daughter. It's nothing serious, but

I need you to come to the station.

I'll wait for you in the car.

No idea she was married.

No.

I can't believe it.

I don't know why she would do this to me.

Because you wouldn't have approved.

You told me she was engaged.

I thought that was what she wanted.

Mr. Khan, you do accept that there's overwhelming forensic evidence linking

son to the arson attack on Ali Rafiq?

No, I don't accept that. I cannot accept it.

Why would Wyatt do such a thing? Because Ali was sleeping with your daughter.

Because you were ashamed.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Just because I'm a religious man and a observant Muslim, that doesn't make me a

murderer. When was the last time you saw Nisa?

Where is she, Mr. Khan? I don't know.

We've got to find Nisa.

Her life could be in danger.

What about a televised appeal?

It could drive him further underground.

Shut up.

Do you reckon any of your contacts are tracing Nisa Khan?

Don't worry, boss. Different world.

Maybe our friend here can work a little bit better.

Let me try Annie again.

I'll see her in a bit.

We're guessing that Anita either ran away or that family have taken her

somewhere against their will.

Killed her?

Look, just say you were going to leave home.

You didn't want to be found.

Where would you go?

Oh, come on, Annie.

There are people out there who are killed like Anita disappeared.

I know there are.

If Anita chose to go, It's got to be her choice to come back.

Yeah. But she may have the evidence we need.

Her father might have ordered Ali's murder.

I can't do it, Shaz.

What do you feel for me, hey?

Would you hunt me down and drag me back to my family?

No.

I'd come too.

Annie. All I want you to do is use your contacts to find out whether she's alive

or dead.

Whether she speaks to us or not, it's up to her.

Please.

Too soon, Sian.

Everyone's still too scared.

That's crazy. We'll protect them. You can't.

I'm sorry, Sian.

Annie, please.

Don't come see me again.

DNA test.

Waheed was wearing the gloves and the balaclava. He's refusing to comment.

His dad denies all knowledge.

Rizwan's at the safe house, still sticking to his story about Barry

Where's Kelly Cairn now?

I had no evidence against him. I had to release him on bail.

And the girl?

Still looking for her.

Isn't there any way that we could persuade Waheed to talk before we charge

I don't think it's very likely.

Well, it's going down anyway. Forensics will do that. It'd just be nice if he

could tell us who put him up to it first.

He's just a kid.

Can't we appeal to his conscience?

Leave it with me.

Wahid.

They might want to be alone.

No, there are no secrets here.

You know, Wahid, about all else.

Allah wishes us to be truthful to him, for it is to Allah that we must answer.

Ali Rafiq understood this, which is why he did the honorable thing and married

your sister.

You can keep secrets from your fellow man, but Allah knows all.

That judgment we cannot escape.

I love your father.

But you do him no service by telling lies.

Tell me the truth, Wahid.

The truth.

I don't think we should be doing this. Please.

This is for his soul, not for the courts.

Tell me the truth before Allah, Wahid.

It's nothing to do with my father.

I thought Ali Rafiq was a bad man.

He told me he had abused an ether.

Raped her.

That it was my duty to protect her for the sake of our family.

I didn't know they were married.

I didn't mean him to die.

I was frightened. He made me do it. I didn't have any choice.

Who was it?

Who made you do it?

Wait, please, I'm really very busy here.

You don't have to say anything in your left hand, please, but it may harm your

defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you'll later

on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

I'm directly sorry. There seems to have been some sort of misunderstanding. Mr

Sadiq will show you the rest.

You're going to regret this.

Are you sure you don't want to solicit him, Mr Khan?

Why do I need a solicitor? I've done nothing wrong.

Fine.

Your nephew, where he'd come, has accused you of inciting him to set fire

Rafiq's house.

Ridiculous. Any idea why he would make such a claim? None at all.

Did you tell him that Ali Rafiq had dishonoured his sister, Anissa, that

raped her?

If this wasn't so tragic, it would be laughable.

Are you OK?

You have no evidence against me, madam.

Nothing except the word of a frightened boy anxious to protect his own father.

Your brother?

What of it? He's responsible for his own actions.

Thanks.

My colleague has just been on the telephone with your niece.

Mr. Khan, Anita.

We're going to meet with her now.

See you later, Mr. Khan.

Anything else you'd like to add, Mr. Khan?

Anita Khan, Mrs.

Rafiq.

You're free to go, but I do think you'd be safer coming with her.

All right.

I'm good.

Anissa, why did you keep your marriage to Ali Rafiq a secret? Was it because of

your dad?

Partly.

Or was it because of your uncle Jamil?

He hasn't got any daughters of his own, right, so... He arranged her engagement,

didn't he?

Yeah.

To the son of a business partner.

So, it's Jamil you were afraid of?

Ali told me he was a dangerous man.

He was paying kids to make trouble in the area, to drive white people out so

could buy up their property.

Ali thought he was even giving money to those racists in Wunbrin.

All for his business.

And how did he know this?

Um... When he was giving evidence against Mark Clayton, Barry

Petersman kept threatening him.

They boasted that the chairman of the mosque was their biggest supporter, and

Ali didn't believe it.

But then he started hearing things from the kids at the community centre.

Did Ali confront him?

I don't know.

He said he needed proof before he went to Imam Fazad.

But it was making him angry.

Especially the way we were living.

I went to see him on Monday night.

He was in a black mood.

I'd never seen him like that before.

He told me...

It wasn't safe for me to stay.

And now I should just go away for a few days.

Anissa, tell us about your cousin Rizwan.

His family are poor.

Jamil has given them everything.

That's how it works.

Jamil gives you money, and you do whatever he says.

And everyone does whatever he does.

It was probably Jamil tipped off Barry Peters about his arrest.

Trying to stir things up a bit more.

Alan planted the milk bowl.

Yeah.

I've got Anissa's dad, boss.

OK.

Anissa.

Praise be to us.

Praise be to Allah.

So, this

isn't about family at all, then. Just some businessman protecting his turf.

Well, actually not with the PR, but it's still not going to be easy to prove,

though. I don't suppose Barry Peters could be persuaded to make a statement

saying that Jameel gave him the money.

What? The men did try to frame him for murder. Jameel was giving Peter's money

knowing he'd use it to incite racial hatred. I mean, they both stood to gain

driving their communities apart.

Peter's got white votes, while Jameel got to buy up cheap property when the

whites moved out.

I think we should try and listen both, don't you?

Indisputably.

You can't believe a word that girl says. She's lying.

We don't force girls into marriage in our family. You can't.

You'll be charged with conspiracy to murder Ali Rafiq.

Well, you can't prove anything.

We'll go through every check stub, every bank statement, every phone bill, until

we can prove that you were funding Barry Peters and his thugs and you were

making money out of it.

You'll then both be charged with conspiracy to incite racial hatred and

a number of offences of corruption as well.

Do you have anything to say, Mr Khan?

Do you know what's wrong with this society, madam?

It's weak.

Your people are weak. Your children have been corrupted. They're good for

nothing. They have no respect for law.

For work, for religion, or for themselves.

People respect me because I bring them wealth. I bring them dignity.

I bring them honour.

This has nothing to do with race.

It's nothing to do with religion.

This is pure, selfish greed.

You came up against a man who couldn't be threatened or bought, so you had him

killed. Ali Rafiq!

was betraying his own people.

He's not going to be met.

People looked up to you, Mr Khan.

They put their faith in you because you were a success.

You had everything they wanted.

But you bought their loyalty.

And look what you've done.

You've killed the one man who was even more respected than you were.

And he had nothing.

Oh, okay.

You're the first couple around on me. Well, you're not ducking out on us now,

are you, boss? Oh, you'll cope without me.

You're still coming out, Shaz?

Yeah, I'll be down in a bit. They clearly wish to be alone.

You can trust them, you know.

They're not going to strip you naked and leave you chained to a lamppost.

Yeah, I know. I thought I'd go up to the mosque first, be even in prayers.

You know, show some support.

What about you?

Oh, I'm off home.

Lots of overtime over there.

soothing troubled waters, reading bedtime stories, cooking, cleaning,

feeding the dryer, fixing the baby, or something like that.

Sounds like you'd need a wife. Oh, you've won the searing.

You know, we couldn't have done this without you.

It's been, um, interesting.

Don't think about becoming a detective full -time. I'll put a word in for you.

I've missed the uniform.

Keep the cap.

Think about it.

I will.

And thanks, boss.
