All language subtitles for Touching Evil s01e01 Through The Clouds 1

Anybody fancy anything from the canteen?

Just give us a shout if you need a
haircut.

Turn on the big guys.

Why doesn't somebody just get Cregan? We
don't have a bloody Cregan. Yes, you

have. I want Cregan!

I want Cregan!

I want Cregan!

I want to speak to me.

Cyril.

Cyril.

You're scaring a lot of people, man.

You want to just calm down?

Five deep breaths.

Three.

They said you were a deer.

Well, they should know better.

They know now.

Let's grab a coffee.

Decaf might be an idea.

It's like all over the place.

And then here.

Everywhere.

And then straight in front of me.

It's really dark.

And I get frightened.

Really, really black.

Dark or black?

I get frightened.

I get pushed out of the way.

Because I don't mean anything. I'm just
trying to think.

Does someone die?

Yeah.

Is it a murder?

You're watching.

Not with me own eyes.

I've seen it through the clouds.

You look worn out, Cyril.

You've had a haircut.

I did it myself.

Looks brilliant.

Could you show me friend the way I...
This lady will take you

downstairs.

Don't touch her breasts. She won't
understand.

You'll be fine.

Look after yourself.

What was that all about?

That, that. That was Cyril Gawling.

Nostradamus of the underworld.

If it's the idea of Cregan, I'm new in.

I'm on extension 2161 if anybody needs
to get through.

Thanks.

He smells what? Some kind of psychic?

Look, I pretend I can do shorthand.
Cyril, he pretends he's a psychic. Yes.

Wow, good luck to you.

Do you want to tell me what you're doing
in my office?

You're a day early.

That's a bad habit for a copper.

Keen to make an impression.

Oh, you've done that.

Remind me never to put you on a dawn
raid.

I'm sorry about this.

Inspector David Cregan and Inspector
Susan Taylor.

You'll share him, by the way, till we
can sort space out.

Read this on the way down and ring me
when you get there.

From? St Albans.

You're reporting to CS Tony Beecham. He
thinks you're already on your way.

Right.

Both of you?

Spent a long time alone recently.

Why?

Well, if you're not going to talk, I'll
have to grab a couple of hitchhikers.

Obviously, I'm a bit rusty on the rules.
You'll give us a nudge if I make any

cuddle.

We're told to check in with CS for
Beecham.

I'm an inspector.

You're an inspector.

Enright never wastes resources.

Why has he made us partners?

He's trying to tell me something.

Should he be telling you something?

No, he bloody well shouldn't. My track
record's impeccable.

If you do say so yourself.

Oh, I do.

Good. Well, if you don't bring it up
again, neither will I.

Equals status, equals bullying.

The two Ronnings.

Commander, I'm right brief you.

Child abduction?

Kept track of the news on the other two.

Stay informed. It's always busy. Nobody
saw anything. Nobody heard anything.

And it's a dedicated safe haven.

Not your first port of call if you're
desperate, then.

Unless you knew what you'd come for.

You've obviously got your reasons for
not bringing the OSC in sooner.

Same age, all male. This one's Eddie
Franklin, age seven.

His mother was only there when he went.

What the hell is going on? Number three
is going on, Frank. I'm talking about

this lot. Assuming I've heard right. Are
you handing this over to the OSC? You

were asked to make contact with... This
is my case. This is my groundwork.

Number three, Frank. And you were
instructed last week to make contact

OSC. You told me you had.

I faxed outlines.

The brief we got at headquarters said
for information only.

Hang a boat, lad?

Sorry, can I?

Germany, February 94.

There was an Interpol file flying round.
Two kids abducted.

He buried their shoes at the scene of
the crime.

What triggered us was the daffodil. The
daffodil? It's December.

It's plastic.

Can we go back to the last two sites?

You're all recruited from Cambridge,
aren't you?

Oxford.

Durham.

You're worse than the bleeding masons.

Since when did it take a degree to catch
Ian Brady?

They didn't catch Ian Brady. He got
turned in. We wouldn't be here unless

could help. Listen, sweetheart, I've
been swimming down this lane 18 years.

So don't play the double act with me,
all right?

I met Cregan this morning. I know as
much about him as you do. Oh, I know

Cregan. I've checked you out.

Don't come in here looking like a patron
saint of how it's done.

Are you refusing to cooperate?

It's very grown up of you, Frank.

Look, you come in here now and you clean
this up, and that's my career.

It depends how many times your name
comes up on the final report, Frank.

I'll be fine in the report.

Try charming me.

I've spent 400 man hours on this.

I wasted half the man hours because I
missed half the bloody clue. They know

that. They're embarrassed.

Jerry Casper was last seen here.

Carol, did you see anyone?

Are you aware of any single men who
might have come near or walked past?

Look, Eddie's a smart kid. He knows
about nuts. He wouldn't have just gone

with somebody.

We'll copy this and get it straight back
to Carol.

These are all repeat performance tapes.

Anyone appearing in the park on more
than one day or more than once in the

day. Now, I'm presuming the perp picked
his spot, so he must have been on a

recce previously.

John.

Sorry, Jonathan Kreitman.

Anorak of fire.

He said he knows his keyboard like a
woman.

I don't think he's ever had a woman,
which is why he hammers it.

How long did it take to go back?

It took for a week and then recorded
over. This is the most recent hundred

hours. The rest are being sent up. So,
what are we looking at?

Well, that's Mrs Franklin and her
friend.

And that's Eddie.

You got a clear shot of that?

I've only got a school photo.

That woman there, she's on both tapes.

Yeah, she's in the park every day. I'm
sick of the sight of her.

She's a nanny for those two.

Oh, that's a spliff, by the way.

I reckon her and the kids deserve each
other.

But there is something else.

Now, concentrate or you'll miss it.

Back.

Yellow Volvo?

Correct. What?

Watch.

Jerry Casper.

3pm last Tuesday.

Stephen Lord.

5pm Saturday.

Eddie Franklin.

9 yesterday morning.

All of them were marked by the presence
of the artificial flower. The only other

forensics identified were in the
woodland areas.

They were weeks or months old.

Mostly inimitable.

Sorry.

I think I've heard something.

Apologies to anyone I haven't tuned in
today.

This is DI Dave Cregan, new to us, but
very lived in.

We worked at Diva Street together. He
helped me plan the OFC two years back

before he went on a sabbatical.

Well, I'll let him speak for himself.

Yeah. These are all suspects and
witnesses from the South Park team file,

including a...

voluntary witness statement by this man.

Ronald Hinks.

He was in the Shotton precinct when
Jerry Casper got lifted.

He gave average corroborated
information, a cup of tea for his

home.

This car is registered to Ronald Hinks.
Seen here at Greenwich Park the day Lee

Franklin disappeared.

Also the day before.

Who sued the lawyer?

Here. Right, Steve, get us an arrest and
search for this guy's house.

Kreitman Rivers, you're with Cregan and
Taylor.

I'll liaise with South Park to make sure
they're not losing their shopping

because we need them on our side.

I haven't finished.

All right.

Stuttgart.

Germany.

February 94.

Two identical abductions.

The flowers, marking the shoes, marking
the scenes of the crime where the bodies

eventually turned up.

Bodies?

The victims were both found at the
original vanishing scenes in plastic

All suffocated.

Professor Ronald Hinks.

56.

Geneticist working for Kessler UK.

Kessler UK is owned by a Swiss
pharmaceutical company.

One of Kessler's branches is in
Stuttgart.

Hinks worked in Stuttgart 93 to 94.

So why stall arresting him? He's not
going to talk. He's made himself

You think he wants to be caught?

I think he wants to be chased.

There are three roads to the park. Picks
the only one on camera.

Just on camera.

There's no reason he should know it from
that distance.

He's been planning this for years. He's
not going to make any mistakes.

Marion.

It's a double -edged sword.

On the one hand... And by the way,
welcome to OSC.

On the one hand, the flower and the
shoes are obviously compulsive

If he's throwing down the gauntlet, he's
expecting a battle.

If he's expecting a battle, he's more
prepared than we are.

It's highly unlikely they're still
alive.

But whether... I'm sorry.

Marion's our psychologist.

Get away.

But whether they are or not, I'd have
serious reservations about leaving them

the street. What are you suggesting?

Let's disappoint him.

Ronald Hanks.

Henry, be quiet.

Correct. You called a dog, Henry.

Is this concerning my statement? Yeah, I
know it's a bit boring, but we need to

go over a couple of contradictions.
Really?

Now, please come in.

No stone unturned.

You know, Elliot Ness.

I thought I gave an accurate
description.

No, it's tedious, but we need to go over
that description again.

Just tell him he's not going to bite
your head off.

We mislaid your statement, and the boss
is asking for details. It's my fault.

She can't find it.

Let's see.

Well, light brown hair, early 20s,
average height, one of

the great unwashed.

He looked quite on edge, and the only
time we connected eyes, he looked quite

hostile. That's brilliant, Professor.

Thanks for your time.

You're welcome.

Henry, be quiet.

Where can we contact you in working
hours?

You know I'm a professor, but you don't
know where I work.

You'd have been cross -checked on the IR
register. It's a formality.

I see.

Well, Parmins to Moore, the Kessler
building at the university.

The Sistine Chapel's brilliant.

Sorry? I have an allergy to words like
brilliant and fabulous.

Students use them.

You like Cluster, by the way.

It's not brilliant.

It's busted, in fact.

Could get stopped for that.

Yes, of course. I overshot a bollard at
work. I've been meaning to book it in

for a fortnight.

Thanks again.

What was that all about?

I wanted to see his face when he lied.

It's him.

He's got a dog, so don't get too close
to the house.

When he moves, you follow him. Okay.

How

you

doing?

Oh, God, sorry.

Where are we?

Uh, this is... That's where I get out.

See you in the morning.

He's just left Langham Lane.

All clear.

What are you waiting for?

The locksmith stuck in traffic.

Just turn around.

Hinks is coming back to the house.
Repeat.

Hinks is coming back to the house. Get
out now.

What's happening?

House is clean.

Morning.

You think Cregan's adjusting?

He's adjusting.

Ask me how I'm doing when I've caught
up.

I wouldn't sell you a turkey, you know.

That's holding me together, sir.

I owe you a drink.

One I can swim in.

Come on, love, a cow don't hang on to
its milk that long.

You smell gorgeous for a cleaner.

I'm sure that's what you can do with
your marigolds.

Oh, no, don't scare yourself, River.

Go and wash your hands, you perv. How
can anyone doubt that men lack direction

when all their toilets smell like this?

I don't like when you work.

You're getting upset because I gave you
half time.

I'm better getting the disappearance of
three kids.

What can you give me?

You're going to die.

But they're not dead.

Cyril, those murders you saw when you
came to my office, was it these?

I saw it. Yeah?

Through the clouds.

Yes, but was it these?

I don't know. That's a pudding.

Cregan?

Can you fly?

As in?

where all the tiresome, repetitive work
has to be done. In fact, they're not by

me these days.

Hands up anyone who's had a vaccine.

Well, I think if you asked your parents,
you'd find that you had.

The animals here serve a purpose.

That purpose is to provide a means of
testing human formulae before it's

released onto the market.

They're the barrier between you, me, and
untried science.

But the animals are all very well
treated, aren't they, Professor Hinks?

Well, we make them very comfortable,
yes, but many of them have to be killed.

Come on.

What we're mainly focusing on here is
the most basic human structure.

Can anyone tell me what that is?

The heart, sir.

Crucial. Yes, but this is something even
more fundamental to life than that.

DNA, sir. Correct.

You know what these initials stand for?

Come on, we talked about this last
Thursday.

Deoxyribonucleic acid, sir. For acid
parts, sir.

Very good.

He's the one to stick with. He knows all
the answers.

He does in school magazines.

Ah, is it any good?

He's quick, sir.

Mark Roper and Christian Mann.

They were abducted four days apart. Some
of us thought that was significant.

Some didn't. It was never resolved.

Please, will you tell the families we're
grateful for their help?

We'll do all we can.

The only hope they have now is that you
will show them their children's killer.

Any way of tracking down Hingis'
accommodation in Stuttgart?

We've arranged that.

185 used to be the Kessler
International.

That's right, yes. The Lord is great in
tidying up, like a woman.

It's not always dirty here. Every Friday
it's cleaned.

Every Friday it's wonderful.

You can eat breakfast from the
footstool.

Do you mind if we shut the garage door?

Yeah, dear.

Yeah.

Cregan, I'm allergic to cats.

You got me standing cat shit.

Why am I letting you do this to me?

You wouldn't go to all this trouble.

You would not make a place like this if
all you were gonna do is kill me.

I think they're still alive.

Look, OSP get the same holiday as
regular coppers.

They tell you to say that, don't they?

What's this eight weeks training leave
all about?

Eight weeks training?

Crap. My training for this bit lasted
about 15 minutes.

Well, it's show.

What's that supposed to mean?

You eat with your mouth open and your
feet stink.

Piss off.

He led us here.

With that much evidence, he led us to
his house.

To a clean house.

Exactly like his other house.

If Fowler could deem clean that garage
once a week for the last four years,

we're not going to find any admissible
samples there.

I know.

Happy birthday, by the way.

How do you know it's my birthday?

The same way you know I work in
Specklebrand.

I've got your file out.

Cheers.

Well, if you'd talked more, I wouldn't
have had to.

Go on, then.

I know you worked on Vice till you took
a bullet through the head in the drugs

raid.

Twelve months sick leave.

Then there's a hole in your file.

Psychiatric leave.

Postgrad in criminology.

Got an MPhil.

So if you wanted a poor rank, you could
waive your certificate.

Which would be very cheap and very
vulgar.

But I wouldn't put it past me.

And when I drove up to see him in
August, he asked me to come work for you

lot.

Obviously a fan.

I was hoping I will be.

You're not.

Do you care?

Do you?

You're not my type, if that's the
question.

It wasn't.

Fine.

What is your type?

For the record.

Younger than you, with bigger muscles
and no qualifications whatsoever.

Bye.

So it took you from August to get here?

I was looking for something I could do
without having to answer to everybody

else.

My ideal job is selling ice cream.

You drive the van yourself.

You mix the ingredients yourself.

And the only complication is a greedy
fat kid wanting more 99s than you've got

flakes for.

Either way, it's one to one.

I focus best on one to one.

You joined a team.

We are a team, Quiggan.

Inspector!

On the original autopsy, traces of a
chemical were found in the blood of Mark

Falka, an anesthetic.

What about Christian Ladd? Christian
Ladd was never tested.

Mark had had a tooth extracted at the
dentist the evening before he was

abducted, which explained the presence
of halothen.

The day they spring Christian's blood
and found the pain to shake is of the

same.

If they weren't checked, it explains why
they never shake before their moms.

Mrs. Franklin said there was no way
Eddie would go for the stranger.

They were abducted four days apart.

How long after the second abduction were
they murdered?

A big day.

How long after the abduction were they
murdered? Four days ago.

They are still alive.

Thanks.

Good luck.

He's on his way into work.

Yeah, we're tracking him along the
A1434.

Don't be subtle. Take the door off.

I'm still waiting on a warrant.

Don't worry, I've got it.

I'm looking at it now.

Take it down to the brickwork, Frank.

Recognize any of these, Professor?

Or these?

What's wrong? Were you working too fast,
were you? Get out of the car.

Get out of the car!

This is Professor Hinks. I need to speak
to the legal department urgently.

I don't know.

I'm being arrested.

It's all very bizarre.

His room's on this floor. If you don't
give me an answer fast, you can whistle

for the key.

Hey! What?

Okay, I need an inventory of all
chemical substances brought into the

over the past 12 months.

Specifically psychoactive or sedative
substances.

I need any clothing, gloves, footwear,
headgear, whatever the professor... Are

you completely bloody deaf?

Dean Martin Singer, Dean Saunders,
Centre Forward, Dean of Medicine.

The moment.

I don't know whether you've forgotten
the score or just picked up some bad

habits while you were out of action.

But I think you should relax a bit.

Is that right?

Well, he's not exactly throwing evidence
at us, is he?

Any mistakes on our part, we lose points
in court.

And what mistakes have I made?

You forced the suspect out of his car at
gunpoint.

That could trip us up in court.

And that's a DT talking to an inspector.
Where did your bad habits come from,

Rivers? Any mistake should be his.

We will get it.

Okay, point taken.

And it's not cool for Paul Rankin
anymore.

And it means you've got a bad dream.

Obviously, all the victims have
similarities.

Age, hair colour, eye colour.

So we're not looking at generic
paedophilia. The image is very specific.

And there was no evidence of sexual
violation with either of the German

So he's not a paedophile.

Or if he is, he shows remarkable
restraint.

We could be looking at some kind of
manifestation of grief.

Something platonic.

Friend, brother, father. Hinks is an
only child.

Never been married, and both his parents
are lying and kicking in Tunbridge

Wells. That isn't a contradiction in
terms.

Um, I need a bit more than this
marrying.

Do you want to try again?

It could have been the early death of a
relative, a school friend. Could have

been the early death of his hamster.

What I need are triggers to get him
talking.

If you have an allergy to psychologists,
I suggest you get that looked at.

Is there anywhere I could get some food?

There's a canteen on the second floor,
Marion.

She's as good as the rest of us.

You knock her, you knock us.

Which reflects on you.

Absolutely nothing.

The only prints in that house belong to
him.

The dogs have been walked alone.
Knackers dropped off.

We've interviewed 150 residents and
regulars to a mile radius, including the

estate up the road.

They've seen nothing, they've heard
nothing.

Your warrant for the file.

It just wasn't signed till ten o 'clock.

Your watch is slow.

The only drugs that pass by anesthetics
aren't controlled by Hinks.

If he'd removed that kind of stuff from
the labs, there's a triple signature

procedure. He's in charge of the
programme.

Could have dodged the books.

You'd still only get access to enough
gear to knock a rat out.

Nowhere near enough to sedate a human,
even a small one. Well, for a crack

you've slipped in your own shit fast
enough.

You've commissioned more man hours in
two days than we've spent in two weeks.

But we've delivered, Dolan. You haven't
had a single sniff of the bloody

victims. And very soon you won't have a
suspect much longer. Have you seen who

he's got for a brief?

Peter Lister.

Kessler have just flown him in from
Belgium. His chauffeur is in the

So even with evidence, he'd piss you out
of court. And you've got nothing.

I'm struggling to understand why that
should make you smile, Frank.

I could smile with that much scotch
inside me before breakfast.

Do you want to say that again, you
little shit?

I could smile with that much... Move.

Ronald, you're obviously not going to
qualify for legal aid on your salary,

but...

Mr Lestay's a very expensive brief.

Have you got that kind of money?

Don't have to answer that.

Do universities pay that kind of money
these days?

Have I missed a revolution?

I represent Kessler UK.

I see.

On record that Mr Hinks doesn't actually
work for the university, he works for

Kessler UK at the university.

And on record that the bill for Mr
Hinks' defence has been footed by said

Kessler UK. You have no case to make.

My client strenuously denies all charges
laid against him, and you have no

evidence whatsoever.

How long you work for Kessler, Peter?

Already... Far back as 94?

Yes. Stuttgart.

Did you work in Stuttgart?

Indeed I did.

So you were there about the same time he
was.

About the same time two boys were
abducted in identical circumstances.

Both found dead six days later.

Were you his brief then, Mr Lister?

That's a very crass accusation.

It's not an accusation. It is three
questions.

Three pieces of information.

Were you interviewed at all in
connection with those crimes, Ronald?

Briefly. As a witness.

As a witness.

And were you his brief during this piece
of history, Mr Lister?

I was not.

Oh, no, that's right. It was another
brief paid for by Kettler International.

I don't know what connection you're
trying to make, but a voluntary

made during an extensive police inquiry
does not implicate me in any way in any

crime whatsoever.

I know.

But it's wise you've done that, Ronald.

So?

Interview terminated 1653.

Did you want to use the toilet?

No.

Now, please answer my question.

Have you or have you not any reason to
hold my client any longer?

No.

Where are those kids?

Cregan, what if we've got all our
resources pinned on the wrong guy?

What if we can't find any evidence
because there's none to find?

It's worrying me.

Why isn't it worrying you?

We can't find any evidence, so you
presume it's not him.

Why isn't it striking you that Hinks is
bright enough to avoid us finding

evidence? Because without more evidence,
a conviction's a fantasy.

Based on the fact that all you expect is
a conviction.

Hinks is a freak.

He's an intelligent freak who credits
himself with being in control of the

facts. If all you're waiting for is
evidence, then we've got three dead kids

around the corner, Taylor.

He did it.

I think you'd better speak to Enright
before we go any further.

If we don't find them, and he lets them
die, he won't be blaming himself.

I will.

And you need Dan back.

We can't take responsibility for all of
them, Cregan.

But that's the only reason why I'm here.

The responsibility is the only reason
why I came back, Taylor.

What are you here for?

The more I come after you, the more we
embarrass Kessler.

The faster they start talking about your
early retirement.

It's their name they're looking after,
Ron, not yours.

I'm filing a report for wrongful arrest.

You're welcome to add threatening
behaviour to that.

I'll send you the forms.

They will, don't you, Ronald?

Because I'm not going anywhere.

I'm in your face till we put you away.

Then we'll grow old within sight of each
other, won't we?

Because, quite frankly, I don't think
you're up to your job.

Oh, yeah, come on, just get me some
clutch.

Keep on holding tight or not, I'm going
to break your needle!

All right, you're mine.
