What did you do, Liv? I wrote no further action

in the log.

That's us.

It's for a family.

He is in the system.

What you're saying is going after any women officers in my squad?

Any woman officer? Any civilian staff?

Any woman associated with the investigation are wives, daughters,

See you later.

What have I done now?

I don't know yet. I'm sure I'll find out.

No, Stuart.

I've got football.

Days?

Weeks? Months?

For the time being.

It'll be safe, will it?

It'll be safe to come back when you catch him.

Well, if we have to wait for that, I may as well sell the house and get out for

good.

I've got no intention of going anywhere, Jack.

I mean, where do you suggest?

Devon? Norfolk? Yorkshire? Or maybe we should all just leave the country.

We have no idea how much he knows, Sally.

But he's found Margaret.

It's like he's got a list of time.

It's not random anymore.

I can't put this any other way. You and Paula are in serious danger.

You walk in here, you say the M4 murderer is probably sitting up the road

car, waiting to come in here and kill me and my daughter.

And you're telling me to pack my bags and run. I'm not telling you to do

anything. Yes, you are, Jack.

You're so used to doing it, you don't even notice.

You can't ignore this, Ali.

Now, I understand that you're afraid. It goes without saying.

I'm not running away, Jack.

What about Paula?

I'll send the kids to Connie's.

No, I'm not going anywhere either.

Yeah. It's a bit poorer up in school.

Laura's taking the kids to her mum's and they'll pick them up later.

Yeah. Never thought you'd be grateful to see the in -laws, eh, Tick?

Cheryl, all right?

Yeah. Yeah. I'll nip back.

Probably a good excuse to go out for a drink with the girls.

There are people out there who blame us for not catching this bloke. They blame

us for these dead women.

They say we didn't care. So what do we do now?

Put a marksman into every cobber's house.

Send out a motorcycle escort whenever the missus goes down the shop scarve.

If women are isolated, we do something.

Yeah, well... Don't waste your time asking for what isn't there.

Nobody takes us well.

He's given us something with all this, the killer.

The profile says it's about communication. He's trying to

Well, that is a two -way street.

What did he say?

He knows where we are. He knows where we live. Yeah, we got that loud and clear.

He knows us. We know him.

Attention, please, ladies and gents.

Two things.

Firstly, I'm afraid there's no added protection for the folks at home.

The governor's done his best, but they just haven't got the resources. So what

we've got is what we've got.

Secondly, we've got one final film to try and get this list of suspects down.

That's people who know it.

Anyone connected with the inquiry, with the squad.

So check the records, check the computer files, and see if we can get it down,

then we'll pull some suspects in, all right?

Lovely. Let's get to it.

She's a looker, this one.

Evelyn. You showed me.

I did write back, but not intimate.

Not like she did.

She was coming to see me in prison, too.

She's in Swindon.

I could get myself fixed up there.

Regular.

She'll have her tapes offended by now, won't she? Eh?

Faith to ourselves.

We'll be struggling to get much overtime out of this squad in these

circumstances, especially at night, eh, Mont?

That's right, Gough.

Can I offer you a drink?

Not just now.

Have we had any requests for transfers or leave?

Well, they're still reeling from it, sir.

Well, I don't want to lose any officers who know the case.

Speaking of which,

how are we doing?

Well, so far, all this work has only given us versions of what we had before,

but it's the threat against our squad that's the new filter to put the

information through.

It's brought the litter suspects down to around 200. I want to go on that.

We've come a long way on the blinded by science front, but I think it's time we

used our gut feelings as well.

All right?

If you think you're at the wire, you're called, Derek.

easy enough.

Too bloody easy.

I don't know about him.

Sometimes I wonder what the bloody hell his agenda is.

Maybe he hasn't got one.

It doesn't matter, does it, Gov?

What matters is that we deliver before the killer does.

We had a lot to do.

I think we're getting there.

Let's just hope there is the right place.

Has anyone said anything?

Hmm?

I keep waiting for someone to find out.

Bessie knows you saw me. They're going to work it out, Jack.

Well, don't you think there are other things that are a bit more important?

Not to me.

Well, what about finding the real killer?

Lynn, everybody wants to see you back at work, including me.

You are a good police officer, but you've got to stop hiding.

Now, Monty wanted to talk to you. Go in there and see him.

I've resigned.

Nobody believes that.

I can't talk to anyone.

You can go to your sister's for a week, and I'll get an alarm system put in,

proper job, panic buttons, everything.

I suppose so.

There's no suppose, Laura.

That's what you're going to do.

Shouting at me won't help.

Mum, Mum, I need a toilet.

I know.

Stop, Trevor, please, stop!

Please!

Trevor, please, stop!

What's going on?

Trev found a burglar in his house last night. Put him in hospital.

Only a kid. 17.

What happened, Trevor?

Suspended.

Pending a disciplinary hearing. Not to mention the possibility of prosecution.

Thought, GBH and anything else they can rake up. No, they can't do that, mate.

This is straight from Ashdown himself.

I've made it.

He's even giving a press conference about me.

It feels really good to have this report.

If I'm lucky, I won't be sent down.

Just out on my ear.

Nah, that's bollocks, mate.

I'll never come to that trouble. I'm going home to protect my wife and kids.

No one else will do it.

Trev's gone.

I've got nothing to say about that, and neither have you. We've got a killer to

catch. We're going to pull in some suspects, and I want a sodding result.

don't want is more casualties.

Okay.

Usual procedure.

Working in pairs.

Each pair, 20 suspects.

Now, as far as possible, you're talking to men you've not interviewed before,

although you may know some of them.

You decide which ones come here to see the governor, but these are all serious

suspects.

To give them a hard time.

Doesn't have to be pretty.

They don't want to cooperate, then nick them.

Now, however well equipped we are with cross -references and multiple matches,

there's something else we need.

We're not going to pull him without it.

It's instinct.

We're all a bit wary of that, after Jackson.

But these days there are two ways to search a burned -out building for traces

flammable liquid.

A dog...

Or a machine. Now, the machine's thorough, but the dog's instinctive and

know it's meant to sniff where there's no bloody smell.

All right? You know who we're doing this for. Get out there and find him.

We'll have to check out the date. She says he was insane.

There's nothing else there.

Where next?

Tony Simpson.

The girl.

Oh,

that's

all. This is about a year ago.

I told them then.

How many blue saloons do you think we get in here, eh?

It's a bleeding garage.

Some of them are yours.

Look, we've got lots of questions we need to ask you, so the sooner we get

started, Mr Simpson.

Oh. Oh, it's Mr Simpson now.

Thanks, Jack.

You know me. You couldn't think that... Oi, oi, oi.

Now, we can do this here, or we can take you in. How do you want to be?

Do you think Mr Murray would be at home?

Well, he's not exactly your club med type.

So if he's not at home, he's over the water.

What, Wales?

Yeah, I think so.

He's got an auntie over there.

Does he go and see her often?

Yeah, a fair bit.

He's probably after her money.

Tell you what, he could probably get her a dress out of the office.

Is Graham married or does he have a girlfriend tonight?

I've never asked him. Too many other things to talk about in this job.

Take her.

Went under a lorry on the M4.

Took her head off.

He's probably visiting, aren't he?

Costa Delta.

Anything there?

Well, he's missed his chance to buy a three -piece suite.

There's no push on how Mr Murray is there.

We'll do him when we get back.

Why else?

He's a decent enough bloke.

He did look after Margaret's ring, didn't he?

Come on.

Corporation tip next.

Bean men.

Do you get the impression we drew the short straw?

Would Derek Henderson do that to you, Jim?

Probably not.

He definitely would to you.

Afternoon,

Charlie!

See you later, Jason.

What's this, a pit stop?

Well, we've still got a few to do, Gav.

There's a bin man who's away on holiday.

There's the no -show.

There's a red light job. Oh, and there's one bloke who reckons we can't see his

dental records.

Name? I've got it. Pull in.

Uniform, squad car.

Make it public. Send the message.

Who do you want us to talk to?

Well, there's Simpson from the garage.

I mean, his alibi don't stand up. They never really did. He has got size 7

And he deals with cars all the time. Well, let's see him.

Gov, this is no show. Graham Murray, the mortuary assistant.

We think he's in South Wales at the moment.

Now, we didn't know about that connection until today.

We could go down there and see him, but he used to be back at work on Monday.

Well, you'll lose half a day.

You think you've got something?

Well, he does drive a blue Nissan. He has got sandy -coloured hair.

And he does spend a lot of time in South Wales with his aunt.

We've managed to get the aunt's address.

Do we know him, Mum? Yeah, he's been around four or five years.

He's the normal one, isn't he, of the pair of them in that place? Yeah, that's

the one. But he bothers you, Jack.

But everybody bothers me.

I don't know, I just don't want to waste everybody's time, not again.

Well, let me make your mind up for you.

Leave this bloke Murray to one side for the time being.

You've got plenty on your list, go for them. We'll see Simpson.

Rule him out if needs be.

Right, Cap.

Go on, get back to work.

Right, Cap.

Lynn!

So why didn't you say something? I didn't know Lynn was coming in.

She has to see the governor.

So she's coming back then?

I don't know, Jim.

Oh, come on.

When's she starting?

But you've got enough people to ask questions to today. Why don't you leave

out of it?

Who's next?

Uh,

Kelly, Chepstow.

I've told you what happened.

That's all I can do, sir.

All you can do... I'm still trying to take this in.

You've sat on evidence that would have cleared Jackson

before we ever got him to court.

Yes, that's about it.

Did it ever occur to you, let me ask you, did it ever cross your mind that

witness might have much more to tell us?

Tell me the truth, Sergeant.

Tell me the absolute truth.

Did it ever occur to you? It wasn't like that.

When we charged Jackson, we didn't just believe he was guilty. We knew it.

We all did. You, me, Jack, Stocks, Monty, everyone.

We were just squaring all the papers away when this bloody woman rang up,

to Margaret. I said I'd go for her because she was seeing Jack that night.

And I screwed it up.

If dear little old Margaret had gone, the one everyone thought was only here

be the station bike, she'd have done it right.

Why did you get it so wrong?

Loyalty.

Family.

Keep the faith.

Do anything but don't rock the boat.

I hope you're not expecting absolution.

This isn't a confessional, Sergeant.

You're responsible for Margaret Walkinshaw's death.

I know. You are responsible for Margaret Walkinshaw's death and you talk to me

about loyalty? You don't have to tell me. She was my friend.

Station bike? She was my friend.

You could have done yourself a favour.

Left your resignation on Monty's desk and then walked right on. Could have

us all a big favour.

Is that it, sir?

No.

Resignation or no resignation.

What I'm talking about is a disciplinary hearing.

You think you can...

Come in here like this and save your job. You have got another thing coming.

I'm under no illusion.

I'll get someone to take you home, Linda.

Don't bother.

You're not going anywhere on your own. That's an order.

Well, you certainly handled that well.

It's supposed to be five foot seven with sandy colour there. Have a look.

Here you are.

One passport.

Thank you very much, Mr Kelly.

Sorry to have bothered you. We won't be bothering you again.

You have a very nice day as well.

Oh, this is bollocks, mate.

Who made up this list, anyway?

Whoever it was should be nicked for wasting police time.

That's it for Wales, though, isn't it? Please tell me it is.

Yeah, we've got a Gloucester, a Twindon, a Twindon and two Bristol.

Well, Gloucester it is.

Knock them dead, eh?

Women like a suit.

It shows respect.

Evelyn's the sophisticated sort. You can tell from her writing.

She'd expect a suit.

Very nice.

I've never paid much for clothes before, but I've got to look the part now.

That's what you said in the shop.

If you're in the papers or on the telly, people are always looking.

He knew who I was as soon as I told him.

You'll be wanting some dinner.

Anything on the news, Dad?

Ah, usual rubbish.

Nothing about me?

No.

That copper.

The one who beat the kid up.

The darky.

I saw his photo in the paper.

He was one of them.

Who interrogated me.

He was very aggressive.

They'll probably want me on a programme.

Talking about it.

I know what they're like. First hand.

What they did to me.

Hey.

I'll phone that reporter.

About 8, 8 .30.

No, I'll come straight home.

I promise.

Oh, don't start, Cheryl.

All right, princess, yeah.

Love you.

Bye.

As you see.

Now I'm back with you, she thinks I'm going straight down the pub after.

Hmm.

Oi, oi, oi, where are you going?

See his auntie.

Whose?

Murray's. He might have gone to visit her. It's only a couple of miles down

here. Oh, well, we're not interested in him, though, are we?

I am.

Oh, don't start, Jack.

He's still on the list.

Oh, that list, yeah.

No, that list, there'll be a three -foot transvestite.

We know what he looks like.

Why did he have that ring?

What?

You kept Margaret's ring.

I was the exhibits officer. Everything else returned to the family.

Why'd he keep it?

Why'd he put it in that little box?

Still want to go home to Cheryl?

No, no, no. Come on, let's go.

I wasn't expecting him.

I don't know where we can find him, then.

He'll be at home in Bristol.

I can't think why you come all the way down here for him.

Has he done something wrong?

No, it's just routine.

Mind if I open the curtains, love?

You go on.

I forget.

When you can't see, it doesn't matter.

That's one thing Graham always says.

You've got to look on the bright side.

He comes here regularly, does he?

Yes. He spends the night with me before going on to the caravan.

He's got a caravan, has he? Well, it belonged to me and my husband

Lovely spot down by the sea.

He's a good lad, Graham.

Only time he ever saw a policeman was once, and that was when he got hit.

What was that about, then?

Eric Jones and that filthy cat of his. Oh, I never liked the man, did I? He

drank.

And what happened?

It was that cat.

Graham drowned it in the bath.

Something had to be done.

Little sod was crapping all over my garden, using it like a toilet. I was

that.

Mr. Murray!

Mr. Murray!

Don't look like he's here, Jack.

Yeah, well, look, he's got a spare set of tyres.

Could have bought some new ones.

We ain't coming all this way without having a look.

Oh, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack. Well, you're going to tell he's still here, is

that all right?

Well, that cat's still missing, isn't it?

Oh, Jack.

Look.

It's Lynn, Margaret, you.

It's Margaret's flat.

The team.

It's Sally.

Oh, Cheryl.

He wasn't looking after the ring, he was keeping it.

He's got the names and addresses of every member of the team here.

Sally, get out of the house and go somewhere safe.

Somewhere other people.

I don't know.

Dave and Lisa. I'll answer the phone.

Wait until I get there. I'll answer the phone. I'll answer the phone. Just do

it.

What's that?

Come on. Where?

I don't know. Let's just go.

A uniform came round.

I'm fine.

Just want to sit down and have a very large drink.

Thanks.

Yeah, bye.

I think he's heading back to Bristol.

Chances are he'll be picked up by traffic or uniform.

Tell him to stay where they are. They want a bunch of tasks swarming over that

caravan. The request to South Wales is to preserve the scene of crime. I made

that very clear.

The boy won't take any notice of that.

They'll be in there.

Get Mowbray, get Bolter. Tell him to stay put.

You'll be lucky.

Hello, priestess?

Oh, hello, Garth.

No.

No, I know you will.

Look, talk to Jack.

Hello, Monty.

No, we are coming back to Bristol.

I intend to make sure my family are safe myself.

Yeah, yeah, I suppose South Wales are probably all over the caravan by now.

Yeah, well, they can sell tickets for all I care.

I've waited too long for this.

There's no way I'm going to let them Welsh tossers get even a slice.

Is this it?

Are they right?

Have they really got him?

Do you want me to go down there?

Oh, yeah.

Jack, she's not here.

Cheryl!

Where you been? Where you been? I've been phoning you all afternoon.

Where you been? Where you been?

Two minutes, Jack. Two minutes.

Sure.

Lynn? Yeah, it's me.

No, no, I'm round at Jim's.

Yeah, I'll be there as soon as I can.

No, um, Paula and Sally are fine, yeah.

Yeah, they're staying with friends.

Yeah, um... Look, um... Look, I'll be with you very,

very soon.

Yeah, bye.

It's no good, mate. It's buggered.

So who's yours?

I can't. I gave her the shell so she could keep in touch.

Car's died on him. He's out of petrol.

There he is down there, look.

I'll cut him off.

We've got some coal in there, Murray!

Where are

you

going?

Are you going to get him or shall I?

Be careful, Jack.

Get him, Jack!

For Margaret!

Client Murray, I am arresting you on suspicion of the murders of Philippe

Anka Morgan, Iris Thorpe, Patricia Roberts, Laura Wadey, Anne Colfax, Dawn

Paracelli, Alison Woods and Margaret Walkinshaw.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not

mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court.

Didn't know where you were.

How did you find me?

A hunch.

There's detection for you.

I wanted to talk to Maggie.

Well, we all carry our mistakes, Lynn.

We all knew how thin the case was against Jackson.

All that back -snapping.

The drinks run out.

The only question we ever asked ourselves was how we could get it to

All he did was close your eyes for a moment.

And we're all guilty of doing that.

Nice try, Jack.

But I'm still finished.

Even if I can come to terms with what happened, it doesn't mean Henderson

You don't know that.

Depending on whether a scapegoat would come in handy.

That's not what I meant.

When the scapegoat's actually guilty, it's almost irresistible.

And the DNA?

Positive identification, 100%. Right.

There are a couple of other things. Your officers.

We should get that out of the way.

Detective Constable Richard.

Well, there is a feeling.

Which I rather share that Trevor Richard has been treated very harshly.

You're probably right, Derek.

I've spoken to the family of the boy. I thought it was right to be honest about

the background.

There won't be any prosecution.

There doesn't have to be a disciplinary.

Ignoring it isn't an option, but I don't think he needs to be too worried about

the results.

The fact that we understand why it happened doesn't make it all right.

Which brings me to Detective Sergeant Harris.

Now, that's a real mess, Derek.

It may well be in everyone's interest if she did resign.

It would certainly be in yours.

You don't put a lid on a can of worms by opening another one.

That's too clever for me. We both know why Harris screwed up.

You don't take on the pack in full cry. You run with it.

And your pack had just brought Jackson down.

She believed Jackson had to go down because that's what everyone said

more than anything.

We've all been there.

DC Walkinshaw was her friend.

I gathered from Monty she's taken back her resignation.

Could still be a criminal. Didn't happen.

Keep it in heart.

Give her the words of advice and close it down.

The credit's yours, Derek. You can take it without throwing anyone else to the

wolves. Yes?

Ready, sir. Right, we're on our way.

Let the game commence.

You went to Swindon, then?

She said I was a nobody now.

She told me to piss off.

I said she was a nobody.

And a tart.

A woman who'd write about things like that will... She wasn't even decent.

I did.

I told her.

Yesterday a man was arrested for a number of crimes which have come to be

as the M4 killings.

I can tell you at the moment only that the man's name is Graham Owen Murray and

he has a Bristol address.

It is early days, but I should say that evidence going forward to the Crown

Prosecution Service will include DNA.

When this comes to trial, there will be no doubts.

We are entirely confident we have the killer in custody.

When is the date of the trial set?

Where in Bristol does he live?

He's there, Jim.

And he's never going to come out again.

Not that one.

But I know I should have sorted things out by now.

The house.

Dividing up the money, I mean, that's basically all it comes down to.

And I will do those things now I've got the time.

But thanks for not pushing.

Sorry I've been so hard at this time.

Should have had more trash.

Yeah, whatever happened today.

You still at the section house?

No.

Well, the room's still there.

Look, it's not what you think, me and Linda.

But I'm not about to walk out on a just year.

What do you want?

I don't know what I want anymore.

I think it's going to take me some time to find out.

Recorded me.

The M4 killer.

They had me down for that, you know.

They put us inside, you know.

You'll probably have seen me on the telly.

We won't be too long, Dad.

That reporter.

Someone's bound to want to talk to me.

Jack? I didn't see you there, Garth.

Just popped in.

Thought people were still working.

I think Monty's got his eye back on the overtime.

That's Mont.

I called over the pub, but there's nobody there.

I just didn't see him at the time for a piss -up.

I think people wanted to get home.

Understandable.

You did really well, Jack.

A process of elimination.

We could still be here. You know that.

I'll tell you what I do know, Gov.

Take the science away.

Just how much of it was about luck.

At least it stopped.

Yeah.

Feel at a loose end, suddenly.

Yeah. I've got some scotch in the office, do you fancy?

Well, I was going to head off.

Staying up, aren't you?
