(LAUGHTER)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Will you excuse me?

- Thanks. - Bye, love.

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Thanks.

Hey.

(INAUDIBLE)

We should go.

Computer says he's checked out, okay?

(DEEP VOICE) He hasn't. (TELEPHONE RINGING)

Do you mind?

Do you need a cab? I can call you one.

Colin.

- Ice queen. - Colin, I'm sorry.

You have been looking at me all night.

Stop it!

Stop it! Stop!

Get off me! (GROANS)

(KNOCKING)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

- Leo Dalton. - That's fine, sir.

- Leo. - Is Sam here?

Not yet. On her way.

There you go, Doctor.

Hello.

On your bike, love.

Sam Ryan, have you been out on the razz?

Mary. Mary Carter. What are you doing here?

There's a media frenzy, so I'm the unlucky person

who's got to keep it under control.

Looks like a bomb.

It's a government minister. He survived, thank God.

There's a chief super from the heavy mob here,

so we'd better mind our Ps and Qs.

Hi, Sam.

Ooh. How'd you get that?

I slipped in the shower.

Detective Chief Superintendent Tom Leith, Anti-Terrorist Squad.

SO13 to you.

Professor Sam Ryan, forensic pathologist.

TOM: Behind the tapes, madam.

I know, Tom, but I have a job to do, too.

The explosion seems to have been contained in this corner.

TOM: Most of the kitchen staff had gone...

Most of the kitchen staff had gone home.

And mercifully the upper floors haven't pancaked down.

Architect deserves a medal.

There are a couple of bodies down here,

three more upstairs, first and second floor.

This part's a bloody mess.

If you two could work your way upstairs...

TOM: Access to the car park?

Hotel guests use it for free.

Members of the public have to pay.

DCI Gallacher.

TOM: Can the guests get into the hotel through the back way?

They have to get a back-door code from reception, guv.

- CCTV? - Taped over.

That one's almost intact. Otherwise just body parts.

His flies are open. Might have been relieving himself.

Looks like a friction burn.

Could you photograph in there, please?

GALLACHER: This one almost made it out.

Can I have a photograph, please? His hands.

- Body parts. - No name, no nationality.

Person or persons?

It'll take time to know that.

SAM: Whoever it was must have been sitting right on top of the blast.

TOM: Holding the bomb? - I don't know.

We'll have to wait for the DNA results.

TOM: Bloody things take forever.

Still feel nothing?

Okay, you're gonna have a little ride in a helicopter.

Did Peter get out?

Room booked in the name of a Mr. and Mrs. Peter Croft.

TOM: She jumped.

Not in good shape. Fell into the basement well at the back.

This could be him in here.

Peter Croft, we presume.

Looks as if he's trying to fight someone off.

LEO: I don't think so. - I wonder why he didn't jump.

It's part of the lower jaw.

(MUSICAL RINGTONE PLAYING)

- Finished? - Yeah.

Why not take this one?

Everything seems to have burned a lot slower here.

But he still didn't get off the bed.

Didn't wake up, by the look of it.

HARRY: Toxic gases while he was sleeping. LEO: Possibly.

I must go and help Sam down below.

- Mmm, nice chess set. HARRY: That's unusual.

(MUSICAL RINGTONE PLAYING)

No luck?

I get the answering service.

You should hear Ayesha's message, Mohamed. It's such fantastic news.

MR. KHAN: Probably got an early lecture.

Or sleeping off whatever she were doing last night.

(MUSICAL RINGTONE PLAYING)

- Where the hell is that coming from? - Upstairs, I think.

You sure everyone's out?

(MUSICAL RINGTONE PLAYING)

- It's coming from the lift. - No! Leave it!

- There's someone in there. - Could be a booby trap.

Who checked this lift?

Get some backup power. Everyone else, clear!

GALLACHER: Move it! Move it!

Honest, our firemen.

Yeah. There's a lot of money here.

Come on, Doctor. Nothing for you. No bodies in here.

I'm sorry. This is out of bounds. It's the minister's room.

- Do we know which minister? - Bob Bowman.

Defense procurement.

It's all right, Tom, I'm not going to steal your thunder.

But if you want to see my ID, it says I'm seconded to the Cabinet Office,

as of this morning.

We're ready, sir.

You can leave the building like everyone else.

(MUSICAL RINGTONE PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Are you concussed? (CLEARS THROAT)

- No, I'm fine. - Shouldn't you get a check-up?

I'll be all right, thanks.

HARRY: How did it get in there?

Someone got in to try and escape, then panicked maybe.

Ayesha Khan, student at Brent University.

- That the body? LEO: Sam.

Killed by the rough fall?

I don't think so.

No burns on her body.

Look in the pocket.

TOM: Give me that.

Get that translated.

Damage to the knuckles.

SAM: Could be fractured.

(MUSICAL RINGTONE PLAYING)

(PHONE RINGS)

Ayesha? It's Dad.

Who is this?

Yes, Rusholme, Manchester.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you really do that in the shower?

Yeah. And I've got a lousy headache.

It's like saying, "I walked into a door."

Leith wants someone at the press conference. Can you do it?

Yeah, sure.

AYESHA ON RECORDING: Sorry this is so late.

Just to say I got a first in prelims. Hey!

So I'm not as thick as I thought.

Maybe talk tomorrow. Bye.

- Mohamed, please. - That's where she was.

MRS. KHAN: We don't know anything yet.

I know.

MAN: (ON TV) A government minister

may have been booked into one of the rooms...

(ALL CLAMORING)

MAN: Can you confirm five dead?

We have evidence of five bodies and there may be more.

We're working on the assumption this was a terrorist attack.

MAN: Sir, here please...

WOMAN: Does that mean some of the bodies aren't identifiable?

- Do you want to take this one? - Yes, that is the case.

And we may have to rely on DNA...

TOM: All the bodies will be identified in time.

Is it true you had a warning about an Indonesian group?

TOM: We have them all the time.

What were the minister's security arrangements?

We understand the minister was on a private visit to see friends.

How could this terrorist have known the minister was going to be there?

TOM: Can't say. - Is there any truth in the rumor

they were tracking his mobile phone?

The minister has very good security.

MAN: Is the minister a frequent...

Can you confirm the minister's private visit

was to see the chairman of a firm called Avionics,

which has already been involved in a bribery scandal?

I suppose you have to have something to fill your paper.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

(REPORTERS CLAMORING)

Excuse me! Colin Burwood.

- I'm a friend of Sam's. - Leo Dalton.

I'm following this up for one of the Sundays.

I was right about Croft, wasn't I?

Traced the wife to hospital.

What was all that stuff about bribery?

Boss of a high-tech electronics firm that supplies the defense industry

made his first pile in Malaysia selling arms.

Backhanders all over the shop.

Maybe you should talk to the firemen.

Really? Why? Did you see something?

Not really, no, no.

Look, that's me.

Thanks again.

Just there.

It's all right. I'm the minister's wife.

Now you can see Daddy's all right.

- Go and give him a kiss. - Come on.

Are you all right, honestly?

Yes. I've been smoking too much.

(COUGHS)

Just go and wait outside a second.

They might have put you somewhere decent.

Politics.

They'd better put you in Cabinet for this.

If not for being a hero, then for risking the NHS.

(SOBS)

WOMAN: It's ready for you, Doctor.

I thought you'd be in South America forever.

- Almost ten years, wasn't it? - It bored me rigid.

I hope you don't mind me being here.

The government wants to know things as soon as you find them.

Reaction time, that's the buzzword now.

HARRY: assistant manager on table one.

Ayesha Khan, table two.

Peter Croft on table three.

All the body parts...

Looks like a fist to me.

LEO: All set? HARRY: Not quite.

Give us a moment.

The bodies have all been swabbed for traces of explosive residue

and X-rayed for evidence of shrapnel.

SAM: The body's of a young Asian female.

Aged between 17, 25.

No significant burns.

Ayesha Khan.

Not a guest or an employee.

SAM: Some very faint numbers, possibly written in Biro,

on her left hand.

Can you read them?

Zero, seven, seven,

something, something, nine,

something, something, zero, zero, eight.

A photograph, please.

Check her mobile.

Severe damage to the knuckles on both hands.

As if they've been in impact with something hard.

GALLACHER: Adult male, found in the bathroom.

TOM: ID?

Almost certain now that this is Peter Croft.

Chairman of Avionics. Man whose wife jumped.

Interesting man.

Can we have a...

MARY: Was he fighting someone off?

No, it's normal in extreme heat. The muscles contract.

But because the flexors are stronger than the extensors,

the elbows bend and the hands form fists.

His position indicates he might have backed into a corner

as the flames advanced.

Death would have been from shock due to the heat.

Alistair, it's Mary Carter.

Yes, look, listen, I thought I should forewarn you

that Peter Croft was one of the victims.

And the press are already making mischief.

Yeah, well, I think it would help if we don't advertise the fact

he was socializing with the minister.

Fine. I'll... Yeah, well, I'll see what I can do.

Body of a white male aged 30 to 35 years.

We think this is the assistant manager, William Mottram.

Extensive burns to the feet, legs,

trunk, head, arms.

Injuries to the hands.

That young lady's knife, perhaps.

Two floors between them, weren't there?

When they died.

If he challenged her, that explains why she had the knife out.

These could be knife wounds but they're a bit ragged.

Like to know if there's any of his blood on her knife.

Horizontal contusion running across the trunk.

It's about an inch wide,

extending just beyond the navel on the right side.

HARRY: And turn him back over.

Photograph here, please.

Particularly if I... Can you just turn his head slightly?

Turn his head slightly. And now a picture, please.

Particles of soot in the trachea.

HARRY: The air passages are an unnatural cherry pink in color.

Color indicates the presence of carboxyhaemoglobin.

Mr. and Mrs. Khan?

Hello. I'm...

SAM: The redness and the soot

indicate the presence of smoke while the victim was breathing.

The burns are pretty bad

but I would say that smoke inhalation

may be the actual cause of Mr. Mottram's death.

Cause of death, smoke inhalation.

Possibly.

Can I?

Thank you.

HARRY: Male.

Afro-Caribbean.

About six foot.

Flesh incinerated.

The body on the bed, our mystery man.

HARRY: Clothes have been almost completely burnt away

apart from a few scraps.

Looks like part of a dress shirt.

What was she doing in a big hotel?

There's a bar there. Quite popular at the weekends.

My, erm, husband's been working there for three years.

Assistant manager.

She doesn't drink.

HARRY: He's a big man.

Even allowing for the degree of burning,

the leg muscles look wasted to me.

What did the concierge say?

Regular guest, always paid cash.

Booked in as Charles Griffiths.

False address, about 50, very good-looking.

They called him Harry Belafonte.

And he's a serious chess player.

He should have checked out that morning.

Body is that of a male aged approximately 25 to 30.

Clothing indicates he might have worked in the kitchen.

His incisors are slightly dished.

- Race? SAM: Southeast Asia.

The deputy head chef, Ricardo Jangayo, is missing.

From the Philippines. Apparently no relatives living here.

Don't you think it's slightly casual,

taking a piss while you're planting a bomb?

TOM: Not if it went off at the wrong time.

According to the hotel's personnel records,

he went back to the Philippines for a holiday last month.

LEO: There's lots of shrapnel here.

(SINGING) And I think to myself

What a wonderful world...

Right, Mr. Elkins.

Are you ready for your pre-op?

Oh, mother.

Mr. and Mrs. Khan, I know you've spoken to one of my officers.

Do you mind answering one or two more questions?

No.

TOM: Do you recognize any of these things?

Can we see her now, please?

I'm afraid your daughter's body is still being examined.

We'd like to bury her as soon as possible.

I fully understand your feelings.

We're not able to release the body while the investigation is going on.

- We're Muslims. - This is English law.

Sorry I'm being really slow today.

Will you take a look at this?

These toes on the right foot, they're broken, just like the hands.

Kicking against something hard, perhaps?

- She had thin shoes on. - Or trying to escape.

Where to?

TOM: Ayesha's an only child?

- No, we have a son. - Mohamed. He's 22.

What does he do?

He works for a cultural center in Rusholme.

Cultural meaning...

Well, he,

works for the community.

- For Muslims. - Just Muslims?

Yes.

TOM: Have you ever seen anything like this before?

What is it? It looks like Arabic. I don't speak Arabic.

It's not very complimentary about the West and our values.

TOM: Calls us murderers and Jekylls.

I never heard Ayesha say anything like that.

She rang us yesterday and said she'd got a first in her examinations.

Mohamed the same?

No, Mohamed's a bit of a hothead but we don't take him seriously.

That's it. Thank you. I'm very sorry about your daughter.

Could...

The skull fractures in high temperatures.

And there's an extradural hematoma.

You get that when someone smashes someone's head in?

You also get it in fire victims because the blood boils out

and that's as far as it can go.

GALLACHER: So why didn't Belafonte get off the bed

or check out at the right time? (INAUDIBLE)

Okay, that's enough for today.

MRS. MOTTRAM: He doesn't look burnt.

I thought he'd...

How did he die?

He was probably unconscious very fast from the smoke.

Thank you.

Some...

Some of the exit doors were locked. That's what they're saying.

- Is that true? - I think so.

We've only been married a year.

And he loved that job.

There'll be an inquest, won't there?

Yeah.

I don't know who's responsible for this,

whether it's terrorists or the hotel,

but I swear somebody's gonna pay for this.

They're Muslims, aren't they?

Their daughter planted that bomb, didn't she?

HARRY: We don't know what happened yet.

- Look at him. He's laughing at me. - I'm not laughing at you.

Look at what I'm carrying.

He won't have a father now cos of your daughter.

My daughter is not a terrorist.

- You are scum! - Come on.

Why are they allowed to walk about like that? Scum!

SAM: Mr. and Mrs. Khan?

I'm Sam Ryan, the pathologist assigned to this investigation.

They're not even allowing us to see our daughter.

Who told you that? The body can't be released.

But the police can't prevent you from seeing her.

Has the postmortem finished?

You can see your daughter tomorrow.

Dr. Dalton. I contacted the firemen who rescued Bowman from his room.

But no one will talk to me. It seems that someone got to them.

Do you understand how important this is?

You can't let 'em get away with this.

Look, I've never betrayed a source. No one will know it was you.

Okay, but off the record, yeah?

LEO: I saw a lot of money on Bowman's bed.

- How much? - A thousand pounds, maybe.

At least I think I did. Unless I'm going mad. That's a possibility.

What happened to it? Well, did anyone else see it?

Look, if you won't go on record, I need someone else that will.

The DCI who was with me at the time,

he made some joke about firemen being honest.

Now he says he doesn't quite remember seeing the money.

I'll bet he doesn't.

SAM: Harry.

What are you doing in here?

- Sam, I don't know what happened. - What are you doing in this office?

- Get out! - I've never done that before.

- Get out of here! - It might be some pills I took...

- Get out of here! - And the booze...

- Get him out of here! Get out! - Okay, okay!

- Sam? SAM: In case you think

he's some kind of boyfriend, he isn't! He's a journalist!

I should have gone to the police straightaway!

Okay. If he's harassing you, you get a court order.

- Come on, I'll drop you home. - I'm fine, I'm fine.

MARY: Mrs. Croft?

I'm Mary Carter.

Peter...

MARY: I'm afraid

he didn't get out.

I'm very, very sorry.

(MOANS)

And if there's anything at all I can do...

Where did they find him?

MARY: Still in the room.

We stayed in that room on our wedding night.

- I'm sorry. I can't focus. MARY: No, of course not.

It's, erm, just some daft things that people are saying.

It's plain fantasy.

Erm, but we may need to talk, just to establish what happened.

What about Bob Bowman?

They got him out.

Your son's here.

She's awake. (WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

There's just one who might interest you. He's in here.

- Barry Elkins. - How's he doing?

MAN: It's not Barry. It's Lily.

He'll be fine. We can't call you Lily. It's a man's ward.

Lily White. And you put me down as C of E and I'm a Buddhist.

Do you know, I'm the only one in here who hasn't had a hernia.

- I've seen you before. - I saw them bring you out.

- I'm a pathologist. LILY: I'm not dead.

He was lucky the shrapnel was fairly small. It didn't go in very far.

LILY: Have I been in a war?

Why were you at the hotel?

Just having a drink.

- Do you know anybody missing? - No. Don't think so.

- Where are the bits you took out? - I'm sorry.

I knew this was going to happen. We've got some trainees...

(COUGHS) And you chucked 'em?

(COUGHS) I mean, you couldn't invent that.

He's been complaining the back of his leg's uncomfortable.

So there may be a piece we missed. We can do it tomorrow.

No. I can't stay in here. I've got a show to do.

HARRY: I'll take it out for you. - (CHUCKLES) F off.

(CHUCKLES) Well, I can't force you,

but, er, if you change your mind, that's where I am.

Well, thank you.

I don't think Ayesha Khan could have attacked the assistant manager.

His DNA isn't on the knife.

- And the blood under the fingernails? - Hers and somebody else's, not his.

(SIGHS)

Why do you think she's a terrorist?

We think she might have been checking if Bowman was in his room.

- Do you have a problem with that? - No.

There's a lot of make-up in her bag.

That's not something I would normally associate with a fanatical Muslim.

I need to make a link

between the ones closest to the blast and Ayesha Khan,

and I can't do that until I know who they are.

There's something else.

There's no explosive residue on any of the bodies.

Where are you going with those?

For pathology, miss.

Have you seen this?

The face of terror?

I'm sorry, Mr. Khan, I can't talk to you now.

But you really think she was involved in all this?

I'm impartial. It's best for everyone if I am.

Well, I... I understand. Thanks.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Are those connected to that?

(SOBBING)

Can I give you dinner?

We've got a lot of catching up to do.

(POP SONG PLAYING)

(SONG ENDS) (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

(ANNOUNCER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

All right, all right, ladies and gentlemen.

The indescribable Lily White!

(CHEERING)

(Man I Feel Like a Woman, PLAYING)

MARY: Have you seen any of the old crowd?

No, not really. Have you?

- Emma Shipley. - God.

What's happened to her, stuck-up old bag?

She's inside. Credit card fraud.

(LAUGHS) (GLASS SHATTERS)

- Oh! - It's all right.

- I'm really sorry. - Don't worry.

(SOBS) It's okay.

- It's all right. - I'm sorry.

Now, are you gonna tell me how you got that?

Listen, listen, darlings.

I'm sorry, there's no jokes tonight, no jokes.

- Oh, go on. - No, I'm sorry. No jokes.

No banter, nothing, just a song for a friend who can't be with us.

(POP MUSIC PLAYING)

(SINGING) I would have given you all of my heart

But there's someone who's torn it apart

And he's taken just all that I have

But if you want I'll try to love again

Yes, baby

The...

Is the deepest

Baby, I know

The first cut is the deepest

When it comes to being lucky you're cursed

When it comes to loving me you're the...

And they were trying to set him up with me, you know.

I admire your strength.

Most of us would take to our beds for a week.

Thanks for your support. I really needed it.

Have you got an address for him?

- Why? - See if he's got form.

You need a break, you know. Why don't you take some leave?

- No, work's the best thing for me. - Oh, Sam.

Let's not lose touch again, eh?

You talk to the police, it's a big problem.

Don't worry, love.

(CLICKING TONGUE)

(KNOCKING)

Room 107, Harry's mystery man.

Good handful of co-proxamol, plus alcohol.

More than likely dead before the explosion.

Suicide?

And the muscle wastage, we think... Think he might have had MS.

There was a piece of paper on my desk with numbers on it.

- Have you seen it? - Numbers?

Yeah, someone's taken it. Telephone numbers.

Is this it?

(SIGHS)

We need a reconstruction.

There are some things that don't make sense to me.

What specifically?

There's DNA evidence of another body at the scene.

And Ayesha Khan.

SAM: I've a gut feeling she was there for some other reason altogether.

- Do you want to share that with me? - Will you back me?

I know what the guv'nor'll say.

We've covered the ground several times.

Scared of the Big Bad Wolf, Doug?

Aren't you?

WOMAN: Just there. HARRY: Thanks.

Thank you.

What's that?

HARRY: Analysis of the metal we fished out of the chef.

Is he really a suspect?

Well, this would explain why there's no explosive residue.

The shrapnel appears to be fragments from an exploded gas cylinder.

(SIGHS)

It can't still be terrorism.

Minister being there might just be coincidence?

And the only thing that connects the dead is just

being in the same place.

Hello. Thank you so much.

I want to thank everyone.

I couldn't have been better looked after,

which is what I'd have expected from the best health service in the world.

- Good. - Thank you.

Come on, children.

(REPORTERS SHOUTING)

- Your sister would want you here. - What do you know about it?

- This isn't the way to behave. - Get off. Don't touch me.

Come back. Come and sit down. Come, sit down. Mohamed.

- On the floor! - Get down! Get down!

Get down!

All of you, down! On the floor!

You, keep looking at me!

- I don't believe you're doing this. - Keep looking at me!

You, keep down!

Up, up.

The rest of you, don't move!

TOM: Did you never consider it might be a terror attack using explosive gas?

Is that what you're saying?

These boys don't mind dying and they can walk into

any hardware store in London and pick up a very lethal weapon.

We have a dental picture of the body we've been piecing together.

What about bomber number two? Found any more of him yet?

SAM: No.

Can't believe he just went up in smoke.

TOM: I'm still waiting for final tests on Ayesha Khan's clothes.

What are you looking for?

Traces of paint from a gas cylinder.

SAM: I want a reconstruction at the scene.

TOM: Fine by me.

(DOOR CLOSES)

The guv'nor declined to join us.

Well, when you've arrested half of Manchester,

there's no turning back, is there?

- Where are we gonna start? - Second floor.

Wouldn't it be better to start down here?

You do that.

LEO: Don't be a berk, Harry.

Don't worry. It's science.

We have you at Brent University twice in the last month.

I went to see my sister, came down for a party.

TOM: You go to the mosque?

I'm not a fanatic.

They're mates. I grew up with them.

If this was a bomb, it's cos you don't listen.

You don't listen to what the world is saying to you.

So what do you believe in, Mr. Khan?

Our missing body.
