This statement outlines the organized
and serial crime unit's response to the

imminent release of Anthony Machen from
Vale Park Secure Unit following the

success of his appeal against
Convection.

The OSC's case was built around the
confession made 18 months ago by Anthony

Machen of the brutal killing of Melanie
Holland and the killing of Anthony

Machen's wife, Suzanne.

Who's on his way up?

A confession secured by a senior OSD
officer currently at home on leave. I

to see Commander Enron. It's Dave
Cregan.

I don't work here!

The High Court has now upheld Machen's
appeal against this conviction.

The investigation into both killings
will now be handed back to the control

Eleanor and CID.

With the release of Anthony Machen,
marking the end of his 18 -month ordeal,

Organised and Serial Crimes Unit are now
faced with questions as to why they

became so heavily involved in this case
and why... Your tie wasn't on straight.

Other than that, you were pretty
convincing.

There was never enough evidence to
convict Anthony Machen. You know that as

as I do.

Ellen and CID know that as well. What I
can't work out is, why is everybody

acting so surprised?

Is that what you came here to say? Why
wasn't I at the press conference?

I was the arresting officer. I took
Machen's confession.

You were there?

You're on sick leave.

I feel better.

You don't look well.

Well, if you'd told me what was coming,
I would have dressed for the occasion.

I want to go back up there. I want to
find out who did this. I've got a call

from the Home Office. The whole
investigation is back under local

They think Machen's the killer.

He had a history of psychiatric
disorder. That is all the people up

see. Nobody's going back up there,
especially not you.

You're on sick leave.

You're suffering from nervous
exhaustion.

I was going to call you at home.

Fine, I'll go home.

Cregan!

I'm sorry, I can't trust your judgement
right now.

Would it be fair to say you were letting
this get to you?

When's your next medical?

This afternoon.

Why can't you leave this alone?

Because I was the one who got Machen to
confess.

You should never have been left in
England on your own.

Don't you think you've got to look after
yourself now?

Is this all just because you miss them?

Or is that just a stupid question?

I don't want to sound too worried,
Cregan.

The last time I saw a bedroom like this,
the bloke in the bed had just shot

himself.

I want them moved away.

New life.

New ideas for work.

As long as I'm working here, my kids are
at risk.

One more thing.

I don't want to know where they've gone.

Have to greet him.

It's fine.

He's just told me he killed both women.

I don't believe him.

Let's send a speech to 300...

Where are you?

Elandon.

What are you doing there?

What are you doing in Elandon? Well,
everybody keeps saying I need a holiday.

Cregan, I'm serious.

What makes you think I'm not?

You should have been in a medical this
afternoon.

Now, if you're trying to prove that
you're ready to go back to work, this

isn't a good idea.

Cregan.

Tony? Happy now?

I didn't believe you killed your wife,
Tony.

Why anyone else?

Not by the end.

You're under pressure.

You've fitted the profile.

You've been mentally ill.

You've no idea what it's like in Bill
Park.

Have you?

It's all right for you.

No. Don't talk about what's in my head,
Tony. We will be here for a fortnight.

I want to find out who really killed
Suzanne.

You were the last person to see her
alive.

I've got things I've got to do.

We've met.

I hope it hurt.

Who hit you?

Somebody hit me.

Where have you seen him?

If Machen's assaulted you, I want him in
here now.

And what are you going to do? You're
going to shake his hand?

You're wasting your time with Machen.
He's done nothing wrong.

Oh, no.

Except kill his wife.

Then give you a confession that didn't
make any sense so that he could mount an

appeal and then walk within 18 months.

What is it with you? Do you like being
used?

Well, judging by the state you was in,
you would have confessed anything.

But confessing to your God wasn't worth
spit. Anybody here could have told you

that. Oh, no.

That was interfering with the OSC and a
job being run from the Home Office.

This was a local investigation.

These were local women.

I don't just work here, Craig, and I'm
from here.

I was born in Durham.

Oh, I, uh... But you went soft and
headed south.

I've got an ex -wife that gives me
shite. I've got a daughter at the local

comprehensive. I know these people.

These people know me.

Sir, Mike Morland.

Michael. Oh, I don't think I want to
hear this. You know, I know this isn't

you do, but I need information about
Merchant. No, no, I'm a bereavement

counsellor. I counsel the bereaved. You
wrote to him in Vale Park. You were a

regular visitor.

That was his only visitor.

Have you been inside Vale Park?

No, yeah, I know, but... Can I just stop
everybody there, please?

First... I don't give information about
clients.

I help them get over what's happened.

Secondly, Anthony Machen has just been
proven innocent.

And thirdly, after what happened last
time, can anyone give me a single reason

why I should trust either of you?

Have you not got anything better to do?

You don't believe Machen killed him?

I don't have a view on Anthony Machen
beyond a professional opinion.

I know. I heard it in court.

I want to know what you really think.

Okay.

Machen felt guilty about the death of
his wife because he wasn't there to

protect her. It's a common reaction to
extremes of grief.

You exploited that until he believed
that he killed her. You made me look a

fool.

You convinced the jury that Machen had
me eaten out of his hand.

Do you want a face on the hate mail?

Do you want my best advice?

Right, forget this. You can't revisit
the past. The local police are looking

the killer. Let them get on with it.

That's usually 30 quid an hour.

I'll give you that much for free if you
just step away from the car.

Would you like a room, please?

There's a cut -price meal in the galleon
if you wanted. You can use the voucher

at the bar.

You could just sign there and there.

And I need your car registration.

Can I get something to eat now?

Sorry, they've just stopped serving.

But it's not even gone nine o 'clock.

I know.

Sorry.

Would you want an alarm call?

Depends on what time you stop serving
breakfast.

Hello, Anthony.

I heard you're back. I just thought we'd
come and see how you were.

Look, I appreciate the fact that you've
come round.

I don't need any more counselling.

I think I need to be left alone.

Don't you think that's the whole point?

There's time to move on.

You're not supposed to end up in therapy
for the rest of your life.

Look, if there's anything you think I
can do, OK?

Looking for John Holland.

Over the back there.

You've got a minute, John.

You heard about Tony Mitchell?

You should have just shot him and burned
what was left.

I need to get some more information.

You're wasting your time.

You know I'm still having counselling
twice a week.

There's nothing I can tell you about
what happened to Melanie.

I don't even want to think about it.

I just want to know if there's anything
you can remember the last time you saw

your wife.

You want to know about the last time I
saw my wife?

Anything she said.

She didn't say anything.

She'd just had her heart ripped out and
stuffed in a bin bag.

I stepped on it walking into the
kitchen.

Sorry.

He's leaving.

Nobody, aren't you, really?

I've nothing better to do.

You're following me. Aren't you supposed
to be back there?

It was Enright's idea.

It was Enright's idea.

You know how it works.

We're a team. You're a team member.

If I didn't do it, it would have been
somebody else. I thought it would be

better coming from a friend.

Are we a friend now?

All right, we work together.

And since when does working together
make us friends?

I was gonna ask you to be my best man.

No, you're getting married.

Hammer's idea.

The Husband Founder

Bastards, take it easy.

Come on, get in.

What is close set of forensics?

He's coming voluntarily to make a
statement.

I want to speak to him when you're
finished.

It wasn't him.

I was right about you.

You're a basket, Kate. Only a basket,
Kate, that says something like that.

Machen isn't the killer.

Why don't you shout it a bit louder,
basket, Kate? Maybe he'll hear you.

You're only still here because I haven't
told you to go yet.

Until I hear different, I'm still in
charge.

Her name was Joanne Carroll.

She was found inside a house just after
8 o 'clock this morning.

She was a 28 -year -old warehouse
assistant.

She was married.

Death appears to be from strangulation.
Following that, the removal of the

heart.

There seemed to be no sexual motive for
the attack.

In fact, there seemed to be no motive at
all.

Other than the fact they were all born
within six years of each other and they

were married.

There seems to be no similarity between
Joanne and the others. Joanne, dark

hair. Suzanne, melmy, blonde.

Suzanne was of heavier build.

We'll get more details from the post
-mortem.

Post -mortem's at quarter past one.

Anthony Machen's to be interviewed as a
suspect.

Where were you?

I told you.

I stayed in all night.

With nothing to do.

And nobody to do it with.

So I get my P45 off end right now?

He's on his way up here.

I'm taking over the investigation as
officer in charge.

Now look, I'm pretty sure Machen did
this.

If we're going to get a conviction, I
want one that's going to stick.

He didn't kill Joanne. He wouldn't kill
Suzanne.

He loved her.

They wanted kids.

They wanted to build a life together.

Losing his wife destroyed him.

I've got to find a DCI wheeler.

I want you to confirm that you've read
these by signing. It normalises the

handover of the investigation from local
control to the control of the OSC.

There'll be a fax from your assistant
chief comfortable confirming this.

And you need to read it and sign.

Is there anything else?

Yeah, I want to get everyone together in
the incident room within the next 20

minutes. And I want Maitian cautioned
and placed in a cell.

They've given it to you back then?

Speak to the Home Office.

I mean, they've asked me to talk to the
husband, but you can't believe this is

happening again.

There was no sign of a struggle and no
obvious forensic evidence. We've checked

for hairs and fluids, but we're unlikely
to find any DNA material.

Death was by strangulation, with the
victim losing consciousness in minutes.

The same procedure?

He isn't a surgeon, but it's pretty neat
work.

Well, he must know something about
anatomy just to get under the ribcage.

And she was definitely dead before this
was done to her?

Death by asphyxiation, the most rapid so
far.

How long would it take him to remove the
heart?

It isn't easy.

He's getting more efficient, but it's
still a hell of a job.

So he kills in a matter of minutes, and
then somehow he has to transport the

body somewhere safe and secure, where
there's light and equipment, and he's

time to carry out a difficult procedure.

There's going to be blood and a lot of
mess.

And then he takes the body all the way
back so it can be found. Now, why does

do that, huh?

Why is it so important that he goes to
all that trouble?

That's his own podcast, let's see.

work for the police.

I'm an independent bereavement
counsellor.

I'm here on your behalf.

Has everyone been telling you this will
be alright?

It's not, is it?

Listen to me, Peter.

Taylor started the briefing.

I thought I had a great job.

Strangulation of the victim is carried
out relatively quickly.

The killer has remarkably little
physical contact with the victim while

Once dead, enough clothing is removed to
give access to the chest.

He then cuts out the heart from
underneath the ribcage.

He's learning from experience.

He then places the heart in a bin bag
near the body with the clothing.

This fact has never been released to the
press.

Which means these can't be copycat
killings.

This is a ritual.

It has significance for the killer.

So there has to be something that links
all three women, and what we need to do

is unpick their lives.

Imagine each of the victims exactly as
he saw them.

There's a helicopter waiting at the
airport.

It leaves in 45 minutes, and I expect
you to be on it.

I convicted the wrong man on the OSC's
instructions. I'm not going back.

I've got three separate medical reports
that all state you're physically and

mentally unfit to work.

Let me observe.

I know Ellen Denton.

I know this case.

And I know Tony Machen.

This happens on one condition.

You put one foot wrong, Dave.

Don't come back at all.

I need you to answer questions
concerning an incident which occurred

Questions? Does either make me confess?

Cregan said he didn't believe I did it.

It doesn't matter what he said.

It's open to us now.

Am I invisible?

And do you think I go unnoticed?

People would have seen me if I'd gone
out.

Did anyone say they'd seen me?

All the money that they spend on you
lot, if it's the best you can manage.

You've got to admit he's got a point.

Thought I'd get you something to read.

It's a shame I couldn't find anything.

Are you going to get a solicitor?

A solicitor could get you out of here.

Room 23, please.

You sure it was room 23?

23.

You haven't got it with you?

I haven't got it with me.

Someone's put you in 32.

Who left this?

I don't know. You don't?

I need you to find out if anyone saw
Machen last night. He's claiming you

get out of the house.

I've been locked up for 18 months. You'd
think you'd have the decency to get out

for a pipe.

It feels like I've been locked up here
for a lifetime. Does that entitle me to

one? That's fighting talk round, are we?

I don't make very good conversations.

Yeah, well, neither do I.

Where's Peter Carroll?

What's the problem?

That's the last thing I saw.

I just thought she was relieved.

I didn't say goodbye.

How did she see?

She couldn't get the top off the saw.

Now, why would somebody send me that, Mr
Carroll?

It was sent to Amsteyn.

Is he after me?

No, it was sent to me.

But why's it got my name on it? Why was
it sent to you?

It's got nothing to do with me. Is this
what happened to Andy Machen because

you're not locking me up?

The killer sent a car.

It isn't the tip -off.

Is he trying to frame Peter Carroll?

Maybe he saw what happened to Machen.

The deaths are a form of expression.

He's trying to tell us what he means.

We just can't, Sid.

This is where Suzanne Machen's been.

Heart had been left in a bin bag.

Body tied to the crossbeam.

Been left to hang upside down so she'd
be recovered when the tide went out.

It's like household rubbish.

I mean, why rip out her heart, put it in
a bin bag and leave it practically on

her own doorstep if that's not the point
you're trying to make?

And if the heart's rubbish, what's he
trying to say about her?

Maybe he's frightened of women.

Thought all men were frightened of
women.

What are you thinking?

It's no way to die.

And I used to like the seaside as a kid.

If there's anything you need, you know
you can call the station.

in pursuit of a suspect.

Where are you?

Being in Peter Carroll's house, heading
towards the north entrance of the power

station.

On our way.

What are you going to do now?

Stay a minute, Dec.

Yeah, then I'll blow your brains out
with this.

I want everything in here bagged up.

I'll take the interview.

I'll need a match on the night.

Bastard! Oi!

These people have come all the way from
London!

Show some respect.

Better take a look at this.

Bastard! Bastard!

Bastard!

Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!

That poor man was inside your house in
custody.

And, uh...

There's no easy way to do this.

I need to ask you if you recognise
either of these.

That you are?

Where did you get them?

The man we're holding here had them.

You had them with him?

Yeah.

We took them from inside the house.

Well? What?

Why are we here?

Oh, metaphysics, not my department.

It's a free country.

Who told you that?

What about these?

Mine? No, none.

Not your size.

Yeah, well, I've put weight on.

You know how it is.

I've only got to walk past the cream
cake.

So, do you kill the women and then wear
their knickers?

You must have a really sick mind.

Now, that is my department.

Answer the question.

Did you kill these women?

I want your name.

And your rank.

And the name of your commanding officer.

And I want a solicitor.

What are we looking at?

Burglary?

I didn't know that she'd just been
killed.

I usually do this sort of thing by
taking them off the clothesline.

The GP says it's a compulsive disorder.

You admit that you stole them.

You pointed a gun at my head.

You pointed a gun at my forehead and
looked me straight in the eye.

And when you did that, little lady, you
really,

really... Really.

It scared me.

I've had to let Fitton go.

I wouldn't worry about it. Quiggan, he's
got every newspaper article ever

written on Melanie and Suzanne.

He's got newspaper reports on every
accident and crime against women in this

town over the last five years.

That makes him barking mad.

Does it make him a killer?

The point is, he's given us a lead. In
all those reports, there's only three

cases that never reach a conclusion.

Melanie Holland, Suzanne Machen, and a
woman called Lisa De Silva.

Yeah, yeah, I've got the De Silva
report.

Says it was attempted suicide.

Can you wipe here?

It's permanent vegetative state.

The consultant's not sure.

Oh, don't start looking at me. All I'm
trying to do is bring her round.

Sorry.

Frank, this is off the record, but I
really need to talk about what happened.

I was part of the investigation into the
deaths of Melanie Holland, Suzanne

Machen.

Remember?

Yeah.

I need to find out if there's a link
between them and what happened to Lisa.

What did you say your name was?

Cregan.

Well, I'll tell you something, Cregan.

The police say my wife threw herself out
of our bedroom window.

Now, my mum had died eight weeks before,
and she was down about that, but she

wasn't suicidal.

But the police say there was no sign of
a struggle.

No -one had broken into the flat.

So you think she was pushed?

I don't think, I know.

She wouldn't have jumped.

She wouldn't have wanted me to come home
and find her like that.

Did your wife know a man called Wayne
Finn?

No. What about a man called Peter
Carroll?

No.

And you've no idea who might have done
this to her?

Lisa didn't have any enemies.

I was told her to be careful.

Check the pathologist's report.

That Lisa suffered bruises on the neck
consistent with an attack.

Whelan chose to ignore it.

That she probably tried to hang herself
before she jumped.

That's a lot less paperwork than murder.
Exactly.

I think Lisa was the killer's first
attempt, Susan.

Okay.

So let's talk to Fitton again.

No, Fitton was locked up the time she
was attacked.

Locked up for what?

Stalking a 23 -year -old nursery nurse.

Are you using that as an argument to say
he can't be the killer? Not if Lisa was

the killer's first attempt.

Have you got the smallest papers?

I know what's been written.

Don't believe everything you read.

I've got three medical certificates
saying I've got a disordered

Exactly.

And a doctor's certificate saying I'm
not fit to be here.

You should give me the name of that
doctor.

He can get it both out.

There's nothing to link Machen to the
crime.

I've got no forensic evidence on him or
anyone else.

Do you really think he did it?

Cregan doesn't think so.

Meaning what?

Cregan's a basket case, but usually he's
right.

So I'll just sit here on the fence.

But if I tell you this, no one finds
out.

Merchant's been placed under
surveillance by Whelan.

Been having him watched ever since he
came home.

They've got a van outside his house.

They've got an unmarked car if he goes
out anywhere.

Merchant's been under surveillance?

You knew?

Everyone knew except you, Rivers and
Cregan.

If Whelan thinks you don't belong here,
so does everyone else.

It was Whelan's orders to keep you in
the dark.

So that made you under surveillance?

Where was he when Joe and Carol was
killed?

He was in his house.

He never left it all night.

People around here, they play rough.

You want to watch yourself.

This might be your investigation, but
it's Whelan's, Nick.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take up so
much of your time. Don't worry, that's

what I'm here for.

If you like, Mr Carlock, I'll give you a
lift home.

We're going to get the guy that did
this.

He's not going to get away with it,
we'll make him pay.

I'm going to get you a happy meal.

I've just found out that Whelan had
Machen under surveillance at the time

Carroll was killed.

Now, he's known from the start that
Machen couldn't have done it.

Do you get the feeling we're not wanted?

How do you know this?

It doesn't matter how I know.

Whelan's given Machen an alibi.

I'm going to get Machen released.

These bastards have had this all their
own way.

Now, we make sure we get this right from
now on.

We'll run the whole thing from the bar
and the hotel if we have to.

What? You can go.

Who hit you Anthony?

You've lied to me.

You're guilty of obstruction, and you've
assaulted a prisoner.

If anyone needs assaulting around here,
I'll be the one to do it.

No, no, no, I don't want to argue.

You know what you've done, and you know
that I know.

If anything else happens to Machen,
anything at all, I'm holding you and

assistant chief constable personally
responsible.

I can't do it anymore!
