[Soft music plays]

Thank you.

[Cellphone rings]

Gerry, what do you want'?
It's my day off.

Yeah, I know it is,
and I'm sorry about that, gov,

but I need your help.

Why?
What's happened'?

No, no, no. Nothing like that.
It's just...

Listen,
I'm giving up cigarettes.

Gerry, well done!
That's fantastic!

And I just Wondered
Whether you'd be my fag buddy.

Your what?

Fag buddy.
You know.

Someone who helps
somebody else give up smoking.

Oh, right. Yeah, of course.
No, I'd love to help.

Yeah, but you've got to keep
encouraging me, all right'?

Make sure I don't waver.

"Make cigarettes history!"

Absolutely. Good man.
Keep it up.

Oh, I will, yeah.
Cheers. Bye.

Bye.

[Cellphone beeps]

WOMAN: You idiot!

You should be ashamed
of yourself!

[Sighs]

SubRIP by docent{mults.org

I thought I was early.

Strickland's away.

Anywhere nice?

He left us this.

With a covering note.

"Dear Sandra, this file
arrived on my desk today.

It is unusual

in having only recently ceased
being an active inquiry,

but knowing
of your specific expertise

dealing with this kind of crime
in the past,

the Commissioner is eager
for UCOS to be involved

not merely
due to your particular skills

but because of the real danger

that the perpetrator
will strike again.

"This kind of crime"?

Rape'?

Yeah, two of them in 1999.

Oh, at the Pyramid Chocolate
Factory in Greenford.

Then after a 10-year gap, there
was another attack 12 months ago

in the back room of a shop
in Totteridge.

Helen Vestry.

Operation Sapphire
investigated that attack,

and they linked DNA from it
to the rapes back in '99.

M.O. was exactly the same.

Any suspects?

No. Both investigations
drew a blank.

What about the M.O.'?

All three were attacked from
behind and in total darkness.

They said that he wore gloves,

but none of them recall seeing
anything more of the guy.

Oh, and he never spoke.

Is that it'?

They all said that he smelled
strongly of sweat. Thank you.

This bloke really doesn't have
anything going for him, does he'?

What about
Where the rapes took place?

- Any link'?
- PULLMAN: Only the darkness.

Jean Saunders was raped in the
Women's changing room at Pyramid

just after her shift ended
at 6:00 p.m.

All the lights went out
just before she was attacked.

And then a Week later,
Eileen Harrison

was assaulted on the shop floor
of the factory around 9:00.

Again, all the lights
were turned off.

Why didn't they do
a mass DNA screening?

They did.
All the men employed by Pyramid,

plus security, delivery men,
contract cleaners,

but none of their DNA
matched that of the rapist's.

What about last year?

The most recent attack.

PULLMAN:
Helen Vestry was attacked

as she was closing up the shop
at which she worked.

Again, pitch black.

Longtime, isn't it,
between attacks?

Well, the bloke
could have been anywhere --

abroad, prison, anything.

Possibly, but given that
most rapes are not reported,

I think there's a good chance
he's committed more in between.

They're all very similar,
these women, aren't they?

Blond, petite, in their 20s.

Physically very easy to subdue.

HALFORD:
Not a coincidence, then.

He observes them,
singles them out.

For some, the biggest kick

is the actual preparation
and buildup to the assault,

not the attack itself.

That would explain
the extreme sweating.

You know, he gets excited
about successfully carrying out

a carefully planned operation.

Are the victims willing to talk'?

Jean Saunders
has since died of cancer,

but the other two
have agreed to meet.

You and I will talk to them.
You guys go to the factory.

Now, Operation Sapphire haven't
spoken to Eileen Harrison

or anybody else at Pyramid
about this last attack,

so probably a good idea
not to mention it.

And needless to say, this is a
very sensitive investigation --

Oh, for God's sake.

Look at us.
Look, look.

We've handled hundreds
of these cases,

and you're telling us
we've got to be sensitive.

Gerry's given up smoking.

What? You'?!

Ah, that's why you're so ratty.

I'm not ratty.

What's brought this on
all of a sudden?

Well, I had to see the doctor,

and he said at my age,
I should have given up by now.

So you can't argue,
can you, really?

Well, I'm delighted, mate.
Congratulations.

[Coughs]

PULLMAN: Helen Vestry?

Sandra Pullman.

Yes. This is my colleague,
Jack Halford.

- Hello.
- Thanks for agreeing to see us.

Not at all. Anything if it
helps catch this shit bag.

It's through the back.

Here.

I just came in to close up.
I did that most nights.

And next moment,
the lights went out.

He grabbed me from behind,
and, well, he did what he did.

The Operation Sapphire team

said that you didn't hear him
threaten you, he didn't speak?

- No.
- Did you cry out'?

I didn't have time.

Anyway, there was no one
in the shop,

and I was scared,
unfortunately.

No, no.
Of course you were scared.

So, you never saw his face'?

No. I would have remembered.
I'm good with faces.

It was just too dark to see him.

Is there anything else
you can remember?

Anything at all'?

Yeah. I remember thinking,
"I hope he doesn't kill me."

The feel of his gloves and the
damp, the smell of his sweat.

How long is it...
since you had a fag'?

Four days.
[Chuckles]

How's it going'?

Yeah, good, thanks.
Yeah, yeah.

With the nicotine deprivation,
I mean.

I'm fine, all right'?
Just don't keep on about it.

-[ Door opens]
- Ah.

Duncan Miller.

Managing Director.

Gerry Standing.
Brian Lane.

- Thanks for your time.
- Oh, it's a pleasure.

Always willing to help
the boys in blue.

So Celine was saying that you're
here to investigate the, uh...

uh, incidents back in '99'?

Yes. We'd like to see
Where the attacks took place

and talk to any of the employees
who were here at the time.

Sure. Well, there's not
that many still here,

but, uh, I'll show you
down to the shop floor.

This Way.

I'm afraid the Women's changing
room has been demolished

to make way for a refrigeration
storage facility.

I must say, I'm intrigued
to find out why you've come back

after all this time.

LANE:
Well, the case was never closed.

STANDING: Mr. Miller,
you did take a DNA test

with everyone else, didn't you'?

Yeah. Duncan, please.
Call me Duncan.

Yes, yes, I was very relieved

when all the workforce
were cleared.

The whole affair
was devastating.

Pyramid --
We're not just a company.

We're one big happy family.

[Clears throat]

So, this is Where, um...

uh...

Eileen Harrison.

This is Where Eileen was, um...

It was
a terrible affair, terrible.

WOMAN on P.A.:
This is a call for Mr. Miller.

Could Duncan Miller
please go to R&D'?

Sorry about this.
I'll leave you with Tilly Shaw.

She's the, um, shift supervisor,

but at the time, she was working
on the production line.

Tilly! Tilly.

Could you come here, please?
These gentlemen want a word.

Excuse me, gentlemen, please.
Thank you.

- Hello.
- LANE: Brian. Brian Lane.

STANDING: Gerry Standing.
- Hello.

- Eileen Harrison?
- Yeah?

Detective Superintendent
Pullman.

This is my colleague
Jack Halford.

Right.
Well, you better come in.

Thank you.

L-I didn't know
there were gonna be two of you.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I...

No, it's just, um...

No, no, no.
That's quite all right.

I understand.

If there's somewhere
I could wait'?

Uh, yeah.
In the living room.

Oh, thank you.

Just go through.

Sorry about that.

You don't have to apologize,
Eileen.

- I can call you that, can't I'?
- Yeah.

I don't want you to feel
pressurized in any way,

'cause we're here to help --

help catch the man
who attacked you.

Is it okay if we go back
to the night it happened'?

Yeah.

You finished work at 7:00.

Well, the shift
normally finished at 5:00,

but we did two hours' overtime
'cause we had a rush on.

And then you went back to
the shop floor two hours later?

Yeah. I'd, uh, left my purse
in the changing room.

I couldn't find it in my
handbag, so I went back for it.

And, uh...

that was When...

And you went back alone?

Yeah.

Well, they'd increased security.

Everyone was being checked
in and out of the factory.

I mean,
it was more secure than ever,

and I never thought
that it could happen again.

I never thought that he'd, uh...

[Sighs]

It's all right
if you want to stop, Eileen.

You just have to say.

No, no.
It's okay.

I want to.

Okay.

I want to.

[inhales deeply]

I'm sorry.

It's all right.
It's okay.

It's all right.

And you worked
on the production line'?

- Me, Eileen, and Jean.
- But not anymore?

No, thank God.
I'm the union rep.

Mind you, the place
hasn't changed much since then.

Same belt, machinery,
everything.

- Till.
- Oh, this is Mick, my husband.

He was a mechanic back then,
but now he's the chief engineer.

These men are from UCOS.

They've come about what happened
to Jean and --

Still ain't caught the bloke,
then, eh'?

What a surprise.

You lot couldn't catch a fever
in a swamp.

Mick!

Can we talk about this
somewhere else'?

What you doing back here,
then, eh'?

Get lost
looking for your overtime?

We don't get much overtime.

We're civilians.

Oh, brilliant.
You ain't even real coppers.

[Laughs]

So, what's prompted all this,
then, eh, all of a sudden?

Back in '99, we had two months
of nonstop prodding and poking.

Everyone here took a DNA test,
and then nothing. End of story.

The case has never been closed.

It's all part
of the reviewing process.

He's done it again, hasn't he'?
The rapist.

Look, this doesn't make sense
to me.

Mr. Miller said you were all
like one big happy family.

[Laughs]
He said that, did he'?

- Joke.
- Mick.

Well, aren't you'?

MICK:
No, it ain't, since he came.

Look, when Miller took over,
he out costs --

safety, wages, pension deal.

Anything that wasn't
core production

was put out to tender,
including security.

That's one of the main reasons
those rapes happened.

World and his wife could have
walked in here back then,

and no one would have known.

Well, no one mentioned that
at the time.

Everyone was frightened about
losing their jobs, Weren't they'?

He'd already laid off
loads of people

who'd been here for years.

Never mind what Miller says.

The only thing
he gave a toss about

was how much the publicity
was costing him.

Am I right or Wrong, Tilly'?

He did next to nothing.

Not for Eileen or the others.

Others?

I meant Jean.

MICK:
Yeah, well, I better get back

before Miller docks my pay
and all.

Me too.

Look, forgive Mick.

It's just that he cares.

And he's right.
Miller doesn't.

"Others"?

Yeah.

So, Eileen Harrison was on
her way to the changing room...

STANDING: [Coughing]
-...which was that Way.

[Coughing]

That's better.

[Sighs]

EILEEN: I-l never heard or saw
nothing till it was too late.

No movement, voice, nothing.

The lights went off.

He grabbed me, and then, um...

[Sighs]

Afterwards,
I was covered in his sweat.

It stank.

I couldn't move
for what seemed like ages.

And then when I did,
he'd gone.

And you never went back to work?

Once.

But it was no good.

And since then,

I've not really been able
to go out of the house.

I find it too difficult.

HALFORD:
Cuddly toys, like a child's.

PULLMAN: Cheers.

The only magazines and photos
are at least 10 years old,

as if her life had just stopped.

PULLMAN: Hello.

Oh, you're all right, are you'?

Yours is on the bar.

How do you know what I wanted?

I'm psychic.
I just asked for alcohol.

I might have wanted
a fruit juice.

- Ha!
- How was Pyramid?

- LANE: Interesting.
Cheers.

You can eat as much chocolate
as you like inside the factory,

but you can't take any out.

I meant the investigation,
Brian.

Well, Miller, the boss --
He came on all teeth and smiles,

didn't he,
but according to the Workforce,

that's just an act.

All profit and no heart.

And there's hardly anyone left
from '99.

- High turnover'?
- Yeah, apparently.

Miller didn't talk much.

He was too keen to rush off.

The workforce were more help,

especially Mick and
Tilly Shaw -- husband and wife.

She was a friend
of Eileen Harrison.

Shop steward now.

She did say one thing
that was odd.

She, um, she used
the word "others"

when we were talking
about the victims,

and I mean apart from Eileen.

What, "others" as in plural?

LANE: Exactly.

She made out
it was a slip of the tongue,

that she just meant Jean,
but I'm not so sure.

The victims
have anything to say'?

No. Both of them
saw next to nothing.

Scenes of crime?

Well, the changing room's
been pulled down.

It's not there anymore.

The production line
Where Eileen was attacked --

That's still going.

Very busy, loud.
Noisy.

Women. [Scoffs]

Is it the sort of place
you'd go back to alone?

Why'?

Well, Eileen Harrison,
two hours after her shift ended,

goes back to a place
Where only one Week before

a workmate had been raped.

She went back for her purse.

She might have had her wages
in it.

Mm.

LANE:
There is something a bit odd.

The place
Where the attack happened.

It doesn't look like
it's actually en route

to the changing room.

I'll tell you
what's really bothering me.

The man we're looking for

knew how and where to turn
the light switches on and off.

It had to be someone who knew
the inside of that factory.

Every man who went in and out
of Pyramid was DNA-tested.

Someone was missed.
They had to have been.

Okay, this afternoon,
go back to Pyramid

and ask Miller Whether
there's a remote possibility

that someone could have missed
being tested.

And While we're there,

we'll see if we can have another
look 'round the shop floor,

work out the geography,
do it properly.

Okay, good.

Jack, check out all the private
firms outside of Pyramid

that had their men DNA-tested

and again ask if somebody
could have been missed.

What about you'?

I'll go and have a word
with this Mrs. Shaw.

See if it was
a slip of the tongue.

Where are you going'?

Well, I thought I'd just pop
outside and have a quick --

Oh, no.
[ Laughs, clears throat ]

I don't anymore, do I'?

[Coughs]

Better out than in.

[Knocking]

Tilly Shaw'?

Detective Superintendent
Pullman.

You spoke with a couple
of my colleagues earlier.

Oh, yeah.

Is it okay
if I have another word'?

Mick's at football practice.

That's okay. It's you I wanted
to speak to particularly.

Thank you.

Excuse the mess.

My husband's a bit
of an angling freak.

You and your husband
both worked at Pyramid in 1999'?

Am I right in thinking
that most of the staff

were Women back then?

Still are.
Packing on the production line.

Piecework.
The pay's not brilliant.

Must have been very scary
for the Women at that time.

Terrible.

Especially after we saw
how badly affected

Jean and Eileen were.

Eileen was a mate, yeah'?

Is she still?

We -- I hardly see her.

She's become a bit of a recluse.

Not that I blame her.

Did you ever talk to the other
Women about what happened?

Of course.

Talked about nothing else
for Weeks.

But nobody had a clue
who it might have been'?

It's just that he obviously
had access to the factory,

and he seemed to have picked
similar-looking victims,

which suggests that he either
knew them or had seen them.

That's what made it so scary,
but...

Did anything else unusual
happen at that time?

It's just that Brian,
my colleague,

told me that you said "others,"
as in other victims.

Not just Eileen and Jean.

That was a mistake.

Right.

Tilly, we're hunting
a serial rapist.

I don't want to hear
from someone else

something I should have heard
from you.

There was one girl --
Nisha Kumar.

She was a friend of Eileen's.
She died a few months later.

- Died?
Committed suicide.

Her mum and dad found her.

She hanged herself.

No.
Categorically no.

Even the men that were off sick
got tested.

- Can I have another one'?
- Yeah, sure. Of course.

- Are you sure you Won't'?
- No, thank you, no.

Look, we just want to have
another look at the shop floor.

What, now'?
But there's no one there.

Well, that's great,
'cause We'd like to see it

exactly how it was when
Eileen Harrison was attacked.

Yeah.
It Won't take long.

We just need to see it
in the dark.

Well, it's very inconvenient.

I thought you said
Pyramid was one big happy family

and that you wanted to help.

[Coughs]

[Scottish accent] Every man I
had who worked there was done.

You're absolutely sure'?

Come on, there was only five,
including me,

and I never even set foot
in the place.

We were all DNA-tested.
Everybody was cleared.

That was that.

It doesn't seem a lot,
Mr. Close.

Four men
to clean a whole factory?

Oh, in this business,
you soon figure out

the most efficient use
of manpower.

I run a very tight ship.

You, uh...

you don't have the Pyramid
contract anymore, do you'?

- No.
- Maybe it was a bit too tight.

Actually,
we fell out over safety.

[Speaking Polish]

[Shouting in Polish]

What was that -- Polish?

Aye. I picked a bit up
here and there.

It's easier to find out
if somebody's lying to you

if you speak their language,

and it's easier to get them
to do what you want

rather than what they want.

You know what I am saying?

-[ Man speaks Polish]
- Are we done'?

Yes, yes.
Thank you.

All right.

Sorry I couldn't help you.

Right!

I should have taken more notice,

seen what was happening to her,
how she changed.

She changed?

After the attacks.

Before, Nisha was always
cheerful, lively, funny,

but then...

One day I found her crying.

Then she stopped coming to work
for days at a time.

Nisha and Eileen were always
really close -- best friends --

but when Eileen
eventually came back to work,

it just seemed to make it Worse.

Two days later,
Nisha killed herself.

So Nisha's death took place

after the original investigation
ended?

Tilly, do you think
there's a possibility

that Nisha
could have been raped'?

So -- What are you two
still doing here'?

Get out!
Get out!

Should have been finished
hours ago.

So, the women's changing room's
were that way'?

Yeah.

- And the exit is this way'?
- Mm-hmm.

There's not
another changing room'?

No.

Are you sure it's all right
for me to keep eating these?

Sure.
I'm delighted you like them.

Thanks.
Very Moorish.

And you say there isn't
another ladies' toilet

or anything down here'?

Uh, no.
Are you sure you Won't have a...

No, thanks.
I'm fine.

[Coughing loudly]

Sorry.

[Sniffles]

[Gulps farts]

[ Gags 1

Are you all right'?

I think I need...

- I need...
-[ Stomach gurgling]

Where's the toilet?

- Oh, it's up the...
STANDING: [Coughs]

Right.
[Coughs loudly]

Ooh.

[Coughing continues]

[Spits]

Ahh.

[Sighs]

Now, he always works
in the dark, doesn't he'?

Ah.

Here you go.

Well, it's all dark.

He's creeping about down here.

She must have been...

[Clinking]

Oh.

[Laughs]

Oh, you little beauty.

Look at that.
Look at...

[Laughs]

Oh, this is your lucky day!

[Coughs]

Oh! Shit.

[Sighs]

[Coughs]

Oh, lovely.

-[ Alarm blares]
- Aah!

Aah!

Oh.

[Alarm dings]

Aah!

Help!

Help!

Aah!

-[ Music plays]
- LANE: Hey, Nudger!

Pyramid's Nudger!

HALFORD: Nudger!
Yes! Of course!

# Everything you want in a bar
and a little bit more #

# Not just chocolate bar,
a whole lot more #

[Laughter]

Nuts, biscuit, nougat.

Fudge, raisins, chocolate.

Honeycomb pieces.

# Everything you want in a bar
and a little bit more #

Nudger!

[Laughter]

Morning.

Pyramid's Nudger.

Yes, I remember.
It was horrible.

Sickly sweet.

You know what your trouble is.

You like all this boutique,
70%, fair-trade cobblers.

LANE:
It's like tar, that stuff.

No, I like me chocolate
to taste like...sugar.

If Nudger was so great, why did
they take it off the market?

I seem to recall it was
'cause they found something

in one of them that shouldn't
have been there, like a finger.

Oh, yes.

Anyway, moving swiftly on, what
did you find out at the factory?

Well, Miller was adamant
all the men were DNA-tested.

Nobody was missed.

Ditto all the other firms who
were in and out of the factory.

And the rapist must have known
the layout of the factory floor,

because
Where Eileen was attacked,

well, it's basically a dead end.

You'd only go there
if you want to open the window

or turn the lights on and off.

LANE:
Yeah, you were right about her.

Even if she was disorientated
by the lights being out,

Where she was attacked

was nowhere near
the Women's changing room.

So it doesn't make sense.

There's something else.

Tilly Shaw told me
that a girl called Nisha Kumar

killed herself just four months
after the rapes,

and Nisha worked on
the same production line as...

- The "others."
- Yeah.

Was she raped'?

I don't know.

What I do know is that she was
Eileen Harrison's best friend

and that only days
after Eileen came back to work,

she hanged herself.

Definitely suicide, was it'?

That's what the coroner said.

I've sent for a copy
of the postmortem report.

In the meantime, Jack, you and I
will go and talk to her family.

She has a brother, Arun.

What about us'?

You said
that quite a lot of people

had been laid off
just before the rapes.

Yeah.

Why don't you get
a list from Miller

and see if any of them
have ever been in trouble?

Could take forever.

We could have got away
with this, mate.

You keep schtum, all right'?

- You keep schtum yourself.
- All right.

You're the one
with the big mouth.

[Whistles]

[Doorbell rings]

[Exhales deeply]

Arun Kumar'?

Detective Superintendent Pullman

from the Unsolved Crime
and Open Case Squad.

This is my colleague
Jack Halford.

Yeah?

We were wondering
if we could have a chat with you

about your sister, Nisha.

What about Nisha'?

Can we go inside'?

You got a warrant?

A warrant'? No, no.
We just want to --

Then, no, you can't come in.
I don't let police in my house.

Any particular reason?

Loads.

Mr. Kumar, we're investigating
a number of rapes

that took place in the factory

Where your sister worked
in 1999,

and we understand that, sadly,
she took her own life

just four months
after the rapes took place.

- And'?
- Look, whatever dealings --

whatever experiences you've had
with the police before,

they Weren't with me, all right'?

I'm just trying to find
the man who raped these women.

We don't have any details
of your mother and father.

Are they still around'?

No.
They went back to India.

When'?

What's that got to do with you'?

Was it anything
to do with Nisha'?

I don't want to talk anymore.

Was your sister raped, Arun'?

Don't talk about my sister
like that, understand?!

No one talks about her
like that.

I don't want
to talk about your sister.

I want you to talk about her.

She's suffered enough.

Leave her alone.

PULLMAN: Would you call that
a reaction or an overreaction'?

HALFORD: Well, he was
certainly mad about something.

'Cause his sister was raped
or because we knew about it'?

Mm.

Look.

PULLMAN:
Oh, great.

[Sighs]

What is it about policing
and leaks to the press?

It's absolutely
bloody outrageous.

Oh.
Well, let's try and be positive.

Maybe someone will come forward
with fresh information.

I've only ever heard that said
on television.

Well, there is some good news.

- Go on.
- Nisha Kumar's postmortem.

The pathologist was looking
for signs of sexual assault.

There were none.

In fact, the report clearly
states that Nisha was a virgin.

STANDING:
And you were right.

In 2000, Pyramid were prosecuted
by Health and Safety

for one of their Nudger bars.

And as you said,

this chocolate had
a piece of human being in it.

Yeah, Pyramid blamed

the "contamination of imported
raisins from Turkey."

They were found guilty
under Health and Safety

and fined £200,000.

Sales went through the floor,

and by December,
they discontinued the line.

No more Nudger.

The company nearly went bust.

I should bloody well hope so.

Yeah, but that's not
how big business works.

So, in eight months, they'd
landed three new contracts

with separate supermarket chains

all selling
own-brand chocolate bars,

and guess what was in them.

Nuts, biscuit, nougat.

Fudge, raisin, chocolate.

- Honeycomb pieces.
- LANE: Exactly.

So within eighteen months,
Pyramid had had two rapes,

a suicide, and a finger
in one of their best brands.

That's either
an awful lot of bad luck

or an awful lot of coincidences.

And who says there's
no such thing as bad publicity?

Whose finger was it'?
Did they ever find out'?

I don't know.
Some Turkish raisin farmer.

But if Nisha wasn't raped,
then why did she kill herself?

She may not have been raped,

but she may have known
who the rapist was.

Well, we got hold of an
ex-employees list from Pyramid,

and guess who was on it in '98

While he was a student working
on his summer break.

Arun Kumar.

Is he'?

Right. Do a PNC check.
See if he's on the DNA database.

- Are you still not smoking?
- No.

Well done.

Sheer willpower!

[Coughs]

You lied to me!

PULLMAN:
Eileen, I didn't lie to you.

EILEEN:
Yeah, why didn't you tell me'?

Why didn't you let me know
what happened'?

Making out you were worried.
You don't give a toss!

Eileen, listen.
Just listen to me.

Okay, the reason
I didn't tell you

about what happened last year

was 'cause I didn't want
to frighten you.

Oh, yeah. So I had to find out
through the papers.

That was nothing to do
with either me or my colleagues,

- I promise you that.
- I don't believe you.

He can't still be around.

It's impossible!

[Door slams]

Ooh!

[Sighs]

Yeah, I got you.

But no arrests'?

Yeah, that's great.
Thanks.

Arun Kumar hasn't got
a criminal record,

but he has been stop-searched
a couple of times.

But no DNA.

- No, not as...
-[ Computer beeps]

- Bloody hell.
- What?

Well, I just typed the words
"Pyramid Chocolate Factory"

and "crime" into the computer.

[Chuckles]
Look what it's come up with.

"Mick Shaw, a mechanic at
the Pyramid Chocolate Factory,

was found not guilty of assault
at Isleworth Crown court."

2003.

Yeah, I thought
he was a bit tense.

Yeah, I'll tell the governor.

And about Arun.

[Dialing]

Oi, oi.
Where you going'?

Out.

Are you gonna go and see
Mick Shaw'?

I'm gonna go and see a man
about a coincidence.

- I don't --
-[ Telephone rings]

Yes, governor.

I'm sure I can do you
some kind of deal, yeah.

-[ Footsteps approaching]
- Yeah.

Listen, let me call you back,
yeah?

You know this could be construed
as harassment.

I could be construed
as a customer.

Not dressed like that, mate.

We're not here to argue
with you, Arun.

We just want to talk.

Talk? Yeah, right.
About what?

I sent for your sister's
postmortem report.

Now, what was probably not made
clear to you and your parents,

for obvious reasons,
but is clear from the report

is that at the time of her
death, Nisha was still a virgin.

She wasn't raped.

Which begs the question,
"Why did she hang herself?"

She was obviously very unhappy
about something.

Did you see
that she was unhappy?

Well, that's a stupid question.
Of course. We all did.

Look, Arun,

I know you've been stop-searched
a couple of times --

Oh, here we go.

So obviously you're a bit
hacked off with the police.

Really?
You ain't got a --

Listen, I don't know
why your sister killed herself,

but I think you do.

And I think
you don't like talking about it

because you feel guilty
in some Way.

- You're full of shit.
- No, no, no, no.

I don't think so.

I don't need this.

Okay, so, who do you blame
for your sister's death?

Did you ever see your sister,
Arun'?

In the factory?

That summer
when you worked there'?

No.
I worked in accounts.

We Weren't allowed
on the shop floor.

Did you ever meet
Eileen Harrison?

- Who?
- Oh, come on.

She was Nisha's best mate and
one of the Women who was raped.

You people are unbelievable!

A white Woman gets raped,

and you grab the first Asian guy
whose name crops up.

You really believe that, do you'?

Yeah, me and half the guys
I grew up with.

My sister hangs herself,

and the only thing
you're interested in

is the Woman she's mates with.

No, what I'm interested in

is why a happy girl
who wasn't raped

suddenly decides
to commit suicide.

Nah.

What you really get off on

is giving guys like me
a hard time.

Maybe it's because
she knew who the rapist was,

and that made her feel
really ashamed.

Now, are you sure you never went
down on that shop floor'?

I loved my sister.

And I never raped anyone.

Fine.

Then you'll be happy
to give us a DNA sample.

What?

So we can rule you out
of our investigation.

You think I'm stupid?

You think I'm gonna let my DNA
go on your database?

It would be destroyed
as soon as it's proved negative.

[Laughs ] Yeah.

And Father Christmas is Shiva.

I don't trust you.

And nothing that's ever happened
to me makes me want to.

Okay.

But I am gonna find out
who raped those women.

And I'm gonna find out
why your sister hanged herself.

- Can I help you'?
- Yeah. I'm Gerry Standing.

- UCOS.
- What, another one'?

Ah, no. I'm different
because I remembered your name.

I thought
I'd heard it somewhere before.

And guess What.
I was right.

Give yourself
a Blue Peter badge.

[Laughs]

See, now you call yourself
Close Sanitation,

but in 2001,
Close Cleaning Limited

was prosecuted
by the Immigration Services

for employing
illegal immigrants --

Bangladeshis mostly --
most of whom had fake l.D.

and all of whom
were subsequently deported.

All right.
Two Blue Peter badges.

So, come on, Alex.

Come on, come clean, eh'?

Did you have any illegals
on your payroll in '99'?

Of course you did,

and some of them
were working at the factory

when the rapes took place.

I've got no idea
what you're on about.

Oh, yes, you have.

You didn't say anything because
if they'd been DNA-tested

along with everybody else,

they would have been outed
as illegal immigrants.

No. No. There was no illegals
on my books in 1999, okay?

Please!

And it's as illegal to smoke
in these premises, eh'?

Thanks for the chat, pal.

[Sighs]

Mr. Miller'?
We're here about Nisha Kumar.

- Who?
- She hanged herself.

Oh, yeah.

You didn't mention her
to either of my colleagues

even though it happened months
after the rapes.

Well, yeah, since the beginning
of your investigation,

I have been somewhat distracted,

not least by the harassment
from the press.

Mr. Miller, I can assure you

it wasn't us
who spoke to the press.

We're only here to ask you
what you know

about Nisha Kumar's suicide.

The short answer is nothing.

She worked here.
She killed herself.

Are you saying
it's cause and effect?

I don't appreciate sarcasm.

What did her family
say to you when she died'?

I don't know.
I've never met her.

But you must have spoken
to them'?

Uh, well, she didn't die here,
did she'?

So one of your workforce
commits suicide,

and you don't communicate
with her nearest and dearest'?

Yeah, we may have sent flowers.
I don't know.

Very touching.

What about the guy whose finger
was found in a bar of Nudger'?

You send him a bunch of flowers
when/if he turns up'?

What the hell has that
got to do with anything?!

It's just that you seem to have
had a great deal of bad luck

in a very short space of time.

Yes, well, "Troubles they come,

not in single spies
but in battalions."

A little bit like the UC--
or whatever you're called.

Listen, she was a young woman.

She would have been having
boyfriend trouble.

Oh, you're an expert, are you'?

No, no, no, no,
I leave that to Human Resources

and the -- the gossips
on the shop floor.

- Excuse me.
-[ Woman speaks indistinctly]

What?

Oh, please.
I'm busy!

Don't bother me
with stuff like that.

Asshole.
Fat lot of good that was.

- We're getting nowhere.
- There's still Arun.

There are other ways
to get his DNA.

No!
Not yet.

Oi!
What's the idea of this'?

Mick's furious.

I've got a whole shop floor
scared to death!

Them and Eileen both.

And as I understand it,

Mick gets angry
about a whole lot of things.

What do you mean'?
What's Eileen been saying?

Eileen?

Nothing? Why'?
What should she have said'?

I just meant she'd be upset.
She's probably feeling...

She's probably feeling what?

How would you know? You haven't
seen her for 10 years.

Why not?

I told you.
She out herself off.

No, no, no, no.
You see, I can understand

why Eileen Wouldn't want
to see anyone.

But that's no reason for you
to stop trying to see her.

I mean, that's what good friends
are for, aren't they?

Depends what you mean
by friends.

What's that supposed to mean'?

What would make you
stop being mates

with a Woman you thought
was a really good friend'?

Eileen and Mick?

When did you find out'?

Not till later.

She Wouldn't see me.
I went 'round.

Mick was there
at the front door.

She Wouldn't let him in.

It was over by then.
The rape saw to that.

But that's when I realized.

I heard you lot were here again.

Shouldn't you be out there,
hunting rapists?

We were just talking
to your wife, Mr. Shaw.

Yeah, well, we've done enough
talking to you already.

Why don't you just do your job
instead of wasting time?

I Wouldn't call finding out
about your affair

with Eileen Harrison
a waste of time, Mick.

But then again, I can understand
why you never mentioned it

to the original investigation,

because until now,
for the life of me,

I couldn't understand why Eileen
came back to this factory alone.

Which begs the question,

"Where were you
on the night she was raped?"

Me'?

You think it was me'?

Mick's not a rapist!

No. He only beats up people
outside pubs.

Not guilty, mate.

Fine. Back to the point.
Where were you'?

You know Where I was --
in the pub with mates.

Yeah. When you should have been
here, waiting for Eileen.

Only you never turned up,
did you'?

The rapist did.

My guess is that you felt
very guilty...

maybe even partly to blame,

even though, of course,
it wasn't your fault.

- Just shut up!
- Easy, easy.

Nisha --
Did she have a boyfriend'?

I don't know.
I don't think so.

Eileen would know.

Thank you.

If anything else occurs to you,
anything at all,

just let me know, yeah'?

What's this?
A little light supper?

What the hell is that?

Chocolate.
Finger.

I thought
we should get it DNA-tested.

You never know.
Might not be Turkish.

And we could be looking
for a nine-fingered rapist.

It would narrow the field down
a bit.

Can I help you'?

Liam Braine, forensic scientist.

I understand you have
a rather interesting digit

you wish to have analyzed.

There you go.

Oh. That is
a particularly fine specimen.

Do you know the exact nature

of the confectionery
it was encased in'?

Nudger.

Ah, Nudger.

Manufactured by
the Pyramid Chocolate Company,

1963 to 2000.

Chocolate -- 30% cocoa solids,
whey, milk, cocoa butter, sugar,

granulated almond and
hazelnuts, shortcake biscuit,

nougat, cream fudge,
Turkish raisins --

And honeycomb pieces, yes.

How soon can we get the results?

It should be feasible to have

a detailed and comprehensive set
of indices very soon,

although this is
a particularly nutty problem.

Nougat is made
from a combination

of sugar, egg white, and nuts.

The term is derived
from the Old French "nogat,"

itself a corruption
of the Provencal word "noga,"

meaning "nut."

Too many nuts.

He can say that again.

Evening, all.

LANE: Evening.

I've just been chatting
to Alex Close

because I found out
that in 2001 he was prosecuted

for employing
illegal immigrants,

so I asked him,
did he employ any in 1999'?

- And he said no.
- Of course he did.

He Wouldn't have owned up to it
earlier either.

But the 2001 lot
were all deported.

Bangladesh mostly.

Of course.
The voice.

Why he didn't talk.

If the rapist is Bangladeshi,

it's gonna be
a dead giveaway, isn't it,

every time he opens his mouth.

But if it was a cleaner
who raped Helen Vestry,

then they must have got back
into the country again.

- Well, it's not possible.
STANDING: Of course it is.

They all had fake l.D.

Illegals come back all the time.

No. I mean,
when they were deported in '01,

then they would have had
their DNA and their prints

taken then.

We'd have already had a match.

Unless it was someone
who stopped working for Close

between '99 and 2001,

in which case he would still be
running around,

untested for DNA.

Then we're buggered.

It'll be like looking
for a needle in a haystack.

Colin Pitchfork.

Hmm'?

Oh, every time I hear

that expression,
"needle in a haystack,"

I think, "Haystack, Pitchfork."

Of course.
Colin Pitchfork.

The first man to be arrested
and sentenced for murder

by DNA screening.

Absolutely right.
[Chuckles]

January 1988.

You see, they said
that case was hopeless.

But then they brought in DNA,

they tested 5,000 men,
and they got him.

It doesn't matter
how bad it looks.

It's never hopeless.

Thank you, Mary Poppins.
Just get us a pint, will you'?

I asked at the station.

They said you'd be in here.

Is this Where you do
most of your work?

The best of it, yeah.

Arun Kumar.
Nisha's brother.

Fancy a drink'?

No, I don't drink.

That's all right.
Neither does he.

Got something to say'?

There you go.

My sister.

You're absolutely sure
she wasn't raped'?

Positive.

100%'?

We thought...

We were afraid
that she hanged herself

because she had been raped.

What with what we read
in the papers.

How was she
in the time before she died'?

She was crying all the time.

We didn't understand.
She'd been so happy.

Yeah. That's what everyone
says about her.

No, no.

She was even happier than normal
because she'd met someone.

You mean a man'?

She told my parents
he was really nice.

A really lovely bloke, you know.

My parents were quite pleased,
I think.

- Who was he'?
- I don't know.

But he must have been someone
at the factory.

Have you got a name?

The man who was seeing her,
I mean.

This really lovely bloke?

[ Scoffs ]

You don't believe me.

Okay.

Tell me, Where do I go'?

To take the DNA test'?

- Morning.
- Morning.

It certainly is.

Why are you so cheerful?

Brahmas has got some good news.

Good.
Care to enlighten me'?

Having re-examined samples
taken from the finger,

it's clear that While male,

its previous owner
is not the rapist.

By the same token, it is
almost certainly not Turkish.

NOV?

I thought you'd be delighted.

Turkish-delighted.

Anything else'?

Having isolated his DNA, the
latest cluster sampling models

place his likely point of
origin some way to the east

on the Indian subcontinent,
probably...

Bangladesh.

Yes. Very good.

But that is not
the interesting part.

Care to hear the rest'?

Knock yourself out.

I not only managed to locate
the dead man's DNA.

I've also isolated
a second sample

from the particle of blood

between the fingernail
and the epithelium

belonging to another man, and --

You know
his likely point of origin.

Better than that.

I know who he is.

What'?!

Not the finger owner.

The other man --
from under the fingernail.

He's in
the national DNA database.

Who is he'?

So, Mick, can you tell us again
about the punch-up

you had in 2002
outside the Bell Pub in Ealing'?

What about it'?

I got off, remember'?

Yeah, but you were arrested.

So your DNA was taken.

Yeah.
So what?

Can you tell me
why that same DNA -- yours --

was discovered under a nail
of a severed finger

that turned up
in a bar of Nudger in 2000'?

No. No idea.

Perhaps you've some idea about
who the finger belonged to.

[ Scoffs ]
No.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe this.

Interview suspended
at 11:22 a.m.

Ooh.

You've upset her now.

Eileen, thank you so much
for coming in.

I know
this is very hard for you.

But let me start by saying

that you're free to leave
at any time.

What is it you wanted to know?

Mick Shaw.

You had an affair with him.

Yeah.

He must have been very upset
after what happened to you.

Yeah.

Not least because had he turned
up on the night of the attack

like he was supposed
to have done,

then you probably Wouldn't
have been raped at all.

Eileen, there is
a sample of Mick's DNA

under the nail of the finger
that was found in a Nudger bar

a year after you were raped.

What?

We think that the finger belongs
to a man from Bangladesh.

How do you think
that might have happened'?

L-I don't know.

Eileen, do you remember
what you said when you found out

that the rapist had struck again
last year?

You said, "I can't believe
he's still around.

It's impossible."

Now, at first I thought you said
that because you were afraid.

But what you really meant

was that you couldn't believe
he was still alive.

[sobs]

L-I want to go now.

Nisha -- you and she
were best friends, Weren't you'?

Why did she kill herself?

I don't know.

She had a boyfriend, didn't she'?

A boy she really liked.

A boy
that she'd fallen in love with.

Where is he'?

What happened to him, Eileen'?

He wasn't very nice.

Nice?

This cleaner.

He was really creepy.

Nisha thought the sun shone out
of his arse, but it didn't.

I told her.
I warned her.

Shakib's only after one thing.

Shakib'?

Yeah.
Um, oh, God.

I used to see him staring at me,
Watching me.

I even saw
his boss tell him off.

And -- And -- And then when Jean
got raped, I knew who it was,

but I didn't say anything.

I should have.

And then maybe
I Wouldn't have been...

Did you tell Nisha
that was what had happened'?

No.
You told Mick.

He said not to worry anymore
and that he'd taken care of him.

And what do you think
he meant by that?

[sobs]

Mick said
everything was gonna be okay

and that this guy would, um...

never -- never, ever rape anyone
again.

But he didn't rape anyone,
Eileen.

I am afraid
that you got it Wrong.

What?

What?

Looks a bit edgy to me.

Yeah.

Nervous.

Huh!
He's a smoker.

He's desperate for a cigarette.

Ah, yes.
Of course.

Right now he'd sell his mum
for a smoke.

[Chuckles]

That's all you had to do
in the old days...

before they outlawed it,
of course.

Bide your time,

rack up the tension.
and light a cigarette.

Blow smoke all over them.

They'd be crawling up the wall,

and then you'd just offer them a
cigarette, and Bob's your uncle.

[Chuckles]
Those were the days, remember'?

[Door opens, closes]

[Tape buzzes]

[Buzzing stops]

Interview recommenced
at 11:34 a.m.

Same persons present.

Mr. Shaw, you do understand
you're still under caution?

Yeah.

So, Michael.

You don't mind
if I call you Michael?

You killed the wrong man.

What are you talking about?

The finger's DNA
doesn't match that of the man

who raped Eileen
or Jean Saunders

or the Woman last year,
and DNA doesn't lie.

Shakib.

I don't know
what you're going on about.

The contract cleaner.
The illegal immigrant.

Nisha's boyfriend.

You see, Eileen told us.

How she told you -- that
he was the man who raped her

and how you killed him.

Which is Worse, Mick -- knowing
that you killed the wrong man,

or knowing you got it wrong
'cause of her'?

Must be very hard to take.

Doing life for a mistake.

No.

No, sh- no.
No!

No. She said it was Shakib!
She said Shakib raped her!

Who needs cigarettes?

EILEEN: Mick said
everything was gonna be okay

and that this guy would, um...

never -- never, ever rape anyone
again.

He attacked Shakib
on the shop floor

after the production line
had closed down for the night.

Shakib fell against the start
button of the conveyor belt.

The machine trapped his arm
and severed his finger,

during which time Shaw beat him
to death with a wrench.

He then took the body away

in a plastic bag
in the back of his van,

weighted it down,

and then dumped it in a gravel
pit Where he used to go fishing.

Nice.

So he must have known that
Shakib didn't take the test.

And when everybody else
proved negative

after they tested for DNA,
it just convinced him

that whatever Eileen had said
was true.

What am I gonna tell Strickland?

[Shudders]

Well, we're supposed to be
hunting a rapist,

and instead we've ended up
solving a murder

that no one even knew
had happened.

- Mick and Eileen knew.
- Shit!

[Tape rewinds]

EILEEN:
...really creepy.

[Tape rewinds]

I even saw
his boss tell him off.

And -- And --
And then when Jean got raped --

"I even saw
his boss tell him off."

Alex Close was his boss,

and Close told me he'd never
set foot inside the factory.

But Close was tested, and
his DNA was negative, wasn't it'?

Colin Pitchfork.

He didn't do a sample
at the start.

He got his mate to do it,

and they only caught him
because his mate was boasting

that Pitchfork paid him £200

to take the test
and pretend to be him.

That's right.
He did.

And Close told me he could get
his employees to do anything,

and I believe him because
they're terrified of him.

What about the bakery?

Well, if I'm right,
he must have been there, too.

Helen...

Helen, do you recognize him'?

He's, uh...

He's Scottish.

He came into the shop
about 18 months ago

to see about the cleaning --

to try and get
the cleaning contract.

- Right.
- Well, he didn't get it.

But the thing was that he then
came in two or three times

as a customer.

He used to buy, um, a pasty.

It was --
it was always the same thing.

A pasty.

[sobs]

Fond of those, are you'?

Aye.
My little weakness.

No, I don't think
that's your weakness, Mr. Close.

Who's this -- your care worker?

Detective Superintendent
Pullman.

I'd just like to ask you
a few more questions.

- Final questions.
- You must lead boring lives.

I want to know if you recall
a young Bangladeshi man

who worked for you as a cleaner

at the Pyramid
Chocolate Factory.

- Name of Shakib.
- I've told you --

This particular man
you would remember

because he failed
to turn up for work one day.

In fact, he disappeared during
the night shift at Pyramid.

No.

Right.

So, would you mind telling me

Where you've been
for the last nine years?

Here and there.

Where were you after
your previous firm went bust'?

Poland most of the time.

PULLMAN: Right.

So, if I were to send
a sample of your DNA

to the Polish police, that would
be okay with you, would it'?

Sure.

No, I'm sorry.
I didn't make myself clear.

Not the old sample.

A new one.

No, I've already given
the DNA sample.

Ah, now, that's where we have
a bit of a problem, Mr. Close,

because we don't think you have.

[Laughs]
Aye, yes.

I was tested,
along with my workmen.

No. In 1999, you sent someone
along to pretend to be you --

someone with your l.D. --
and they took the test.

You see, the rapist
we're looking for never spoke,

so at first
we assumed he was an Asian

and that his voice
would give him away.

Do you know,
it never occurred to us

that he could have been Scots.

[Laughs]

Is this what the Met
get up to now, aye'?

Is this
what you build your cases on'?

This is a load of shite.

This man raped two Women
in 1999,

and he's since raped again,
Mr. Close.

If you were so happy to help
back then

by giving a DNA sample,

what possible reason could you
have for not doing so now'?

Now, then, Mr. Close,
you're sweating.

That mine'?

- Bought with you in mind.
- Thank you.

Did you speak to him --
Strickland?

It was a bad line.
I had to make it brief.

Lucky you.

What'd he say'?

He was surprised.

Bloody cheek.

He asked me,
"What cracked the case?"

I said, "Colin Pitchfork."
He said, "Who?"

Unbelievable.

That's modern policing for you.

Where's Gerry'?

Outside.

Said he wanted
a bit of fresh air.

Gerry's never wanted fresh air
in his life.

[Door opens]

I bloody knew it!

Look, I did try giving up --
honestly.

Anyway, I never said
I was gonna stop smoking.

I said I was gonna stop
smoking cigarettes.

Your lungs.

Yeah, but I felt so ill.
Honestly, I couldn't bear it.

Bear it.

# It's all right, it's okay #

# Doesn't really matter
if you're old and gray #

# It's all right,
I say it's okay #

# Listen to what I say #

# It's all right, doing fine #

# Doesn't really matter
if the sun don't shine #

# It's all right,
I say it's okay #

# We're getting to
the end of the day #
