'Mr Taft, what do have to say
about your acquittal today?'

Mr Taft will make a statement later
today. I never killed no-one.
The police are trying to frame me.

Didn't you put yourself in the frame,
Ricky? No, I never killed no-one.
..Professor Levin.

Who do you believe murdered
your wife?
Maybe you should ask the police.

Didn't they hold a proper inquiry?
They screwed up, and you should
be directing your questions at them.

Lunchtime news, Sir James. May we
have a comment on the verdict?

A comment on the verdict, please,
Sir James?
Katherine Reed WAS your advisor.

And where does this leave the Crown
Prosecution Service? A comment
on the verdict, please, Sir James?

Do you feel ANY responsibility? For
what?! I was proved innocent. Never
done anything in the first place.

The Old Bill are trying
to fit me up... Thank you very much.

Win some, lose some, ma'am.
Lose some, lose some more.

Richard Taft,
a self-confessed burglar,

was acquitted of the murder of
Home Office advisor Katherine Reed.

The case is in the headlines
as the victim...
PHONE RINGS

..was a leading Government advisor
on crime policy.

Yeah?
..Speaking.

EVERYBODY knows the case.
If they didn't, they do now.

Are we?

Yeah, they're already here...

Just put them on
the table there, will you, please?

All right. Thank you.

We're getting
the Katherine Reed case.

He promised to sue the Metropolitan
Police. Best of luck to you, mate.

Katherine Reed was a leading figure
in the women's rights movement.

It was said she was a liberal
who became an authoritarian when
she entered Whitehall's corridors.

You can say THAT again! Did you
know her? I read one of her books.

That's what I like on my team -
a reader.

Compliments
of Detective Inspector Worrall.

Worrall?

Mm-hm! What have we got?

Ha-ha-ha-ha! That'll do for me.

Detective Superintendent Boyd?
That is me.

I'm Mary Holmes. May we speak?

My guest tonight is Katherine Reed,
author and broadcaster.

I've to audit your team. You'll get
a chance to answer anything you
consider prejudicial in the report.

You're not an Inspector
of Constabulary! This a Home Office
audit. Home Office audit?

Who came up with THAT?

Has this anything to do with us
taking on the Katherine Reed case?
Complete coincidence.

My principals want to know
how to set up more units like yours.

My advice is that you respond to it
in a constructive
and open-minded way. Thank you.

Here are some questionnaires
for your team.

They're easy to follow.
There's one for you, too.

Oh, good(!)
As long as they're easy.

We're getting Katherine Reed.
Yeah, so I see.

That's not all we're getting.
Some woman from the Home Office -
Mary Holmes? No, never heard of her.

OK. Well, this one's yours.

We've got one each.

Katherine, what do you say
to criticism
that your book is anti-men?

My book focuses
on crime against women

and the context in which such crime
arises in a male-dominated society.
But you appear to hate men!

Some of my best friends are men.
But they're not criminals.

You argue that a capacity for
violence is part of the male psyche.
And men are proud of that.

But you're saying that violence
is virtually a contact sport for men.

The point I make
is a little more complex than that.
There IS a context here.

This morning, Ricky Taft was found
not guilty of the murder of
Katherine Reed by a majority verdict.

The case is now cold so it's ours.

And we're being given an
efficiency audit by the Home Office.

You will be asked to have
a preliminary interview with Mrs...
Miss?

MS Holmes here.

It's a complete coincidence,
apparently.

This will not affect our operation.
We function as normal. Clear? Our
first priority is the investigation.

Now, in these boxes we have the
witness statements, the trial papers,

DPP files and so on. But, before
we get up to our elbows in paperwork,

what do we already know
about the case?

Well, she was found dead
from asphyxiation in her bedroom.

Forensics would need to be
consistent with a pillow-smothering
if cause of death WAS asphyxiation.

Petechial haemorrhages on the face,
subconjunctival haemorrhages
in the eyes.

Was the clothing disturbed? Any sign
of a struggle? Well, obviously...

Try and get to see the pathologist
who did the first PM. Yeah.
But let me do my homework first.

Just get working.
You'll catch up as you go.

What else?
Reed was a high-flier.

'She was a professional feminist.
She was anti-Government - the
male-dominated machinery of state.'

And then she joined it. Grace
knows her writings really well.

She's read one of her books.

And what did that book tell you,
Grace? That men are violent,

men are dominant, and that probably
they're an evolutionary mistake.

So she proved herself right? 90% of
violent crime IS committed by men.

Have you read the book too, Mel?
..Let's leave statistics
and theories out of this.

We know what we're doing.
Grace will research Reed's career.

- Taft. What do we know?
- Petty burglar.
- Write any books? Kidding!

How did he come to get nicked?
Tip from a fence.

- Tried to fence a laptop protected
by a Government security password.
- But he was acquitted of murder.

Motive and opportunity but the rest
was circumstantial. I didn't think
he committed murder. He legged it.

And the jury agreed, but let's check
Taft, see if we overlooked anything.

Katherine Reed. We need a picture -
who she was, where she went,
who she pissed off, who kissed her.

All the usual stuff. ..When my team
leave here, Mrs... Ms. Ms! Ms Holmes,

they leave alone. Without you.
Is that clear?

"Whatever I said last time we spoke,
I won't give them the satisfaction
of doing to you what they did to me.

"Call me if you want to,
and good luck. Jess."

PHONE RINGS
You work independently?

No.
We work completely interdependently.

Your job is stand aside and advise.

My job is to provide psychological
insight without becoming
a complete pain in the arse

to a team of very busy
and committed detectives.

Do you have a good relationship
with Detective Superintendent Boyd?
I doubt I'd be here if I didn't.

He wouldn't tolerate you
if you didn't agree with him?

The essence of what we do
is keep open minds. We don't
put words in people's mouths.

That's why I like working here - we
pursue the truth. And do you know,

we get better and better
at seeing through the bullshit.

If you have anything to say about
DS Boyd's methods or his attitude,

I'm your opportunity.
..I just said it.

PHONE RINGS

Who's liaising with the original
inquiry team? Looks like I am. DI
Jess Worrall. I don't know her. I do.

Jess Worrall you were just talking
about? Yes. Seems like this case
has been tailor-made for you.

Don't worry. I'll hold your hand.
I'll be done for harassment at work.
..Mel, Spence! ..And you, come on!

Viewing's by appointment.
Detective Superintendent Boyd.
And...you are?

Ray Levin. Katherine Reed's husband.

That key
was to have been returned to me.

I'm sorry.
Do you mind if we...come in anyway?

Why is it only just on the market?
Had to wait till after the trial.
Agent said we'd get rubberneckers.

Mind if we look around?
I can't believe
this is starting again!

- Then perhaps we could have a talk.
- Police screwed up the first time,
so they send more to do it again!

One of the faults of the system.
My team specialises
in what we call cold cases,

which is slightly different.
So, could they have a look around?

You know
that Katherine and I were separated?

- Did you still see her?
- No.

- Was the break-up difficult?
- Is any break-up easy?

Not in my experience. Did Katherine
have any particular enemies?

Do you think we haven't already been
over that? I was at a conference
at the time, so you can rule me out.

I know this isn't easy
but it would help us...

You grabbed the first suspect,
it didn't work
and you want to start again.

Whoever it was wanted her dead and
he was pretty smart. I have to go.

- Where was the conference?
The one you said...
- Leeds.

- How did you get there?
- I drove.
- Drove.

- Is that all?
- Yeah, we don't want to hold you up.
Anyway, we can let ourselves out...

I never really bought into all this.
I could never see relationships
and people in those terms.

What do you see when you look
at someone like Katherine Reed?

Someone with a public face
hiding a private face.

What did that Home Office woman
have to say about me? I wondered
when you were going to ask me that.

Did she think I was a chauvinist?
No, more of an evolutionary mistake.

Well, they've cleaned
the whole house from top to bottom.

That's estate agents for you.
Nothing here for us, is there?

And that goes to nowhere.

What did Taft have on him when he
was arrested? Said he just took the
laptop, saw the body and legged it.

What's missing? There's nothing
personal here. There's no music,
there's no photographs. Just books.

Maybe Levin removed them.
Give him a call and see
what personal effects he DID remove.

I've resigned.
Why have you resigned?

I have better things to do than
spin in the wind for these people.
Who? ..Someone get to you on this?

Would I let someone get to me?
No, you wouldn't.

It was a high-profile case from the
start. Of course, there's pressure.

Sir James... Sir James?
Permanent Secretary
at the Home Office. Reed's boss.

Your boss, my boss, Commissioner's
boss. Did he interfere?

Made it clear the Minister
expected a result, ASAP. Bloody
thrilled when we collared Taft.

So we showed what we had to the DPP,
asked him what he thought. Didn't
hesitate - wanted it in court.

I always dreaded
the day I'd inherit a case from you.
Because you'd have to see me again?

No, I didn't mean that. Just that,
if you didn't get a result, how can
I kid myself it'd be easy for me?

Will you help me?

I'll talk to you.

OK. Not here. It's not private.

Really?

Give me a number.

It's quite like the old days,
don't you think?

Are you sure about quitting?

Oh, I'm sure.

I was wondering if it was possible
to speak to the pathologist

that did the post-mortem
on Katherine Reed. ..Thanks.

I want to know about the traffic
through Cheltenham Square.

Did you call Levin?
Yeah. He didn't remove anything
from Reed's flat.

OK. ..Get this done.

Look out the name of Taft's brief,
and the phone number...
OK.

When you've got a second.
Right.

PHONE RINGS
Yeah?

I've got a surprise for you.

You're gonna love THIS.
They've sent us Reed's body.

She's been in a freezer for 11
months. Coroner sent her over to us.
Why wasn't it released for burial?

Next of kin wouldn't accept it
until after the trial. Next of kin
is Professor... Raymond Levin. Levin.

It's weird, isn't it? What is?

It feels like she's...come
to check us out. Boyd! Do you mind?!

It's HER people from the Home Office
who are auditing us.

Well, anyway. There's absolutely
no forensic value whatsoever in
keeping a body frozen for this long.

No point doing a fresh post-mortem?
There'd be nothing fresh about it.

We've asked for a review
of the original PM,
but that's all we can do. OK.

Mr Kahn. It's kind of you. We ARE
here voluntarily. I understand.

It's over this way, all right?

You said you had
important information for us.

I should advise you that my client
is considering suing the police.

He can sue who he likes. That's your
concern. My concern is to find out
who killed Katherine Reed.

My client is co-operative
in that regard. Great.

Mr Taft, thanks for seeing us.
The police fitted me up.

You burgled Katherine Reed's flat.
She was on the bed when I got in.

Dead on the bed, you mean. ..Did you
see anything in the flat that
you didn't tell the police about?

Mr Taft, I think
that you still have some items
from Katherine Reed's flat.

I have a proposition for you.

Give me back the personal effects
you kept from Katherine Reed's flat,

and I'll consider recommending you're
not prosecuted for the burglary.

You got this stuff
from...Katherine Reed's...flat?

My client would like assurance that
there will be no more proceedings.

If the murder was opportunistic -
someone disturbed in a break-in -
why was there no sign of a struggle?

Maybe it happened too fast?
Katherine Reed was a fighter. She
wouldn't just lie there helplessly.

Come on, neither of us believes
Ricky Taft suffocated Katherine
Reed. Jess Worrall's team did.

Well, I'm not running an audit -
is that the word? - on another team.

I can't believe I was a student
here...in the last century!

Changed a bit? Not in the least
little bit. ..Or did you mean me?

Excuse me. Can you tell us where
we could find Professor Levin?

Have you got an appointment? ..We
were hoping to see Professor Levin.

Oh, he's in a faculty meeting.

You don't look like students.
No, not any more.

Well, can I give him a message?
..Maybe we could talk to you?

Yes. Come on.

Photo.

You're not students.

DC Silver. My colleague is
a police consultant. Grace Foley.

We wanted to talk about
Katherine Reed. You'll want to talk
to Professor Levin.

Katherine used to teach here,
didn't she? Yes, she supervised me.

But she was getting tired
of teaching by then.

It's not for everybody.

Did you see Katherine
after she stopped teaching?

Sometimes.

But it IS Professor Levin that you
want. I mean, he was married to her.

They broke up quite badly?
It was bloody, yes.

What was bad about it?
You'd have to ask HIM.

Could you tell us what YOU know?

Well, Katherine felt suffocated.

Oh, God!

I'm sorry. No, it's all right.

Are you OK? Mmm.

Can you go on
with what you were saying? Yes.

I suppose he resented the idea
that she could...find her freedom
somewhere else.

It's not exactly uncommon.

Was the relationship ever violent?
I don't know. I don't think
that's... It's a reasonable question.

I was afraid...that he was.

You never came forward.
No-one ever came to speak to me.

Where were you the night it
happened? At a conference, in Leeds.

The same conference
as Professor Levin? Yes.

Did you spend the evening with him?
No. ..Ray Levin and I
have never spent evenings together.

You and Katherine
were close friends. Yes, we were.

I'd imagine, if she confided
in anyone, she'd confide in you.

She didn't talk about her work...
What DID she talk about?

Oh, can't we leave her in peace?

Um, look, I have a seminar.

You're sure there's nothing you
know that could help us? No, sorry.

Professor Levin?

Could we talk to you about your
relationship with Katherine Reed?

She's dead. ..I don't HAVE
a relationship with her.

If you want to see me,
please make an appointment.

Sorry, I was going to come to YOU.
That's all right, I was passing.

I have to tell you, I didn't DO the
first PM on Katherine Reed. Who did?

It was my predecessor,
Professor Todd.

He was very efficient. He did
everything that would be expected.

Toxicology? Let's have a look.

He found...benzodiazepine
in a therapeutic dose,
alcohol - not a lot.

We wouldn't find enough blood
to do a rerun of anything.

I told them to tell the next of kin
there was no point in holding on to
her. ..Well, let's have a look.

No lesions, bruises... None noted
in the initial report. Skin colour
won't tell you anything now.

Asphyxial findings...

..relatively minor, so there was
nothing much except the semen.

We should have done our homework!
What's this about semen?

After the original PM, swabs went
off to the lab and they found semen.

She had sex that night?
Unlikely. Probably
in the previous 24 to 48 hours.

How do you know? Volume -
there's no time-bracketed tests.

Mel, can you check the transcripts
for me?

I've found it. Thank you.

So Worrall DID make a request
for a check on the semen
on the DNA database.

There was no match. Why didn't Taft's
brief pursue it? ..Would've taken
the heat off cos it wasn't his.

You can't be sure when semen enters
a body unless it was very recent -

it doesn't PROVE that she had sex
on the night she was murdered.

So they didn't think the semen
was relevant. And didn't pursue it.

♪ Look at the stars

♪ Look how they shine for you

♪ And everything you do

♪ Yeah, they were all yellow

♪ I came along

♪ I wrote a song for you... ♪

Would you like a glass of red wine?

Yes.

The defence could've made a fuss
of the DNA but they couldn't prove
when she'd had sex.

So you never found any evidence
of who Katherine Reed was seeing?
Never found a boyfriend.

Without proof of sexual assault,
you can't go around demanding DNA
off every man in the neighbourhood.

Don't suppose you can.
It's in the trial transcripts,
if you look for it.

I didn't cover up forensic evidence,
if that's what you think.
I didn't think...

I didn't fit Taft up!
I never said you did.

I didn't think for one minute...
that you did.

There's something wrong, Jess.

My team just happens to have
been put under a Home Office review,

the day Taft was acquitted. Is that
why we can't talk in your office?

Well, then, I'm not exactly sure
this place is any better.
You've got me worried now. Come on!

What do you think of Levin?
As a person? No, no, as a suspect.

He'd an alibi. He was in Leeds
but he had a car. Did you test him?

He was her husband.
What exactly will THAT prove?
There was no evidence.

Taft was in the flat.
He had opportunity. He had motive.

Bitch of a job, isn't it?
What?

Our job.
YOUR job.

Morning.
Oh, is that for me?

Extra caffeine, all for me.

Found anything? They did a good job
tracing every car in and out
of Cheltenham Square in 12 hours.

Something about trials.
Not as interesting as they make
them look in the movies, are they?

COMPUTER BLEEPS
What is it?

Morning! Spence?

Please yourselves. Sorry.

"Crime is the imprint of the male
sexual personality on constraints
and constructions of society.

"To be female is to be a victim."
Page four.

- Morning!
- Sir, have you got a moment?

Look at this. It's a car
they didn't seem to follow up.

It had diplomatic plates.And?
It's blocked on security grounds.

Right. We haven't told you about our
meeting yet, have we? Not right now.

When we went to see Levin, he
wasn't happy to see us. But we did
find the woman in this photograph.

Lorna Gyles.
Works in Levin's department.
She tell you anything about Reed?

She wasn't forthcoming. If she
didn't come forward first time, she
ought to be brought in and cautioned.

No, I think we've got to understand
these relationships. There could be
something between Levin and Gyles.

Get into it. Find out who hung out
with who! Get me a picture of
these relationships! Spence'll help.

I'd rather it was Mel. ..No offence,
Spence. A job for the girls?

"To be female is to be a victim."
..See? YOU wouldn't understand.

This is a murder inquiry, or am I
missing something? We must understand
Katherine Reed's private life.

I said get me a picture...! I mean,
we have to go carefully! All right.

All right, all right. ..Go
with Grace. As they say in the Bible.

What was
all that "female victim" stuff?

She was quoting Katherine Reed.
Don't want Mel going all literary.

I like her just the way she is.
..Where's our minder today?

Never around when you need her.
Stick with me. Don't want to leave
you all alone and...vulnerable.

Thank you. All right? Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you.

Would you sign this, please?

The Official Secrets Act?
If you don't sign,
this conversation can't continue.

Good.

There are one or two things which
Detective Inspector Worrall didn't
have sight of in her investigation.

Such as a car with
diplomatic plates? Yes, the car
is owned by the US Government.

Katherine Reed had visitors the
night she was murdered. Yes, she did.

Worrall was never informed.
Once it was established
they had no bearing on the case,

the investigation proceeded in the
direction it needed to take. Who
were they? One of them was myself.

Sir James, have you been
interviewed under caution?

Sit down, will you?

What we need to consider... Who WERE
these other people? We had a meeting,
covered by the Official Secrets Act.

Is there a report? I don't suppose
so, once the police were assured the
meeting had no bearing on the crime.

Who made that decision?
It was not myself.

Would you mind telling...? There are
plenty of things I'd mind telling
you, Detective Superintendent,

but I'm reconciled to telling you
quite a lot of them.

I AM authorised to inform you who
was in Katherine's flat that night.

Only two people,
of whom you are one. Correct.

The other is a US citizen.

Correct. Who IS Larry Karp?

We were consulting
with the Americans about matters
of mutual security. So Karp's FBI?

No, he's London chief of station
of the CIA. I see.

They don't like their people
being surfaced in criminal trials.

So Worrall's investigation
WAS compromised?

No! She was conducting a murder
inquiry. The death of an individual.

That meeting involved the security
of entire populations. That's
the perspective for you to take.

What was this meeting about, exactly?

It's not material to you.

I need to speak to Larry Karp.
"No" won't do.

Getting high and mighty's MY job,
Detective Superintendent,
bear that in mind.

You were at a scene on the night of
a murder - you've withheld the fact.

Hardly the basis
for a beautiful friendship,
but you'll get around that somehow.

More copies of the Official Secrets
Act for the rest your team to sign.
Return them to Ms Hardingham.

We'll be in touch with you
about that meeting
with our American friend. Thank you.

What was all that about?
I COULD tell you,
but then I'd have to kill you.

Put it this way -
it involves filling in more forms.

This is very romantic of you, Boyd.

This hasn't been the usual place
for us now for, I don't know,
how many years?

Anyway,
that's not the reason we're here.

So what did you want to ask me?

There was a car...and they wouldn't
let you follow it up. What car?

Diplomatic plates. We checked. You
were blocked on security grounds.

OK, whose car was it?

Well...I'm about to break
the Official Secrets Act.

There was a meeting at Reed's flat.
Did you know about that? No.

Between Sir James and Larry Karp,
head of the CIA London station. Shit!

While I waste my time investigating
some petty burglar for murder!

You didn't know this?
I had no reason to believe he
wasn't passing through the square.

Yeah.

I won't make you look bad, Jess,
you know. I promise.

Very chivalrous of you.
So don't worry about that.

Sorry I'm late.
At least you're back.

Any calls? No.

Are we expecting the police to call?

About Katherine?

Mmm. I've had a visit at my office.

Aren't you going to tell me
what to say if they come to see me?

No!
..Alice, you can say what you like.

Think I'll go up to bed. ..You know
I'll stand by you, whatever.

It would've been so much tidier
if they'd convicted that burglar,
wouldn't it? ..Well, wouldn't it?

Yes...I expect it would.

Thank you for admitting that.

Thanks for coming.
Special Branch
is always happy to oblige.

This conversation never took place.

Worrall's team came to us
on the Diplomatic Corps plate.

They got told
it was registered to the US Embassy.

Anything else was blocked.
Your people knew whose car it was?

Yeah, of course.
What would happen if she'd tried
to follow it up and question Karp?

You don't wanna know.
Special Branch would've been
the LEAST of her problems.

The Americans would've been upset. It
would've blown back like an exploding
toilet. ..Anyhow, she had a collar.

Whoa, whoa! You're not thinking
of doing something deeply heroic
and bloody stupid, are you, Spencer?

Listen to me, Dougie.
This is a cold-case review.

We go over everyone,
including this geezer Karp.

Nothing I can do
to talk you out of it, then.
I want to know about Karp.

When we were plods, did you ever
save my life or anything?

Something I then blotted out
of my mind inadvertently? Because
I don't know why I'm doing this!

A resume.

Doesn't say anywhere his hobbies
are murdering female colleagues.

But with the CIA, you never know.

MI5 don't seem to like him very much.

Of course we don't - he's one of our
closest allies. Which is beside the
point. He's CIA - we don't trust him.

And don't like the fact he has a cosy
relationship with Sir James Beatty.

What was the scheme they were into?

Simple. Make sure the Americans get
more out of us than we want to give.

We'll all die in our beds
unless we roll over for the Yanks!

Ah-ah! No copies. ..Sorry.

We're even on the life-saving bit...
and you owe me a big drink.

- Dougie.
- Don't thank me.

I never saved your life.
I would've remembered.

Larry Karp? Detective Boyd?

Detective Superintendent Boyd.

These are Detectives Jordan, Silver
and our consultant, Dr Foley.

This gentlemen
is from our Office of Security.

Does he have a name? Tyler.

Yes, I was visiting Katherine Reed
that evening. I was with Sir James
Beatty. We left at nine o'clock.

Where did you go? To my house.
We had dinner together. Alone.

To discuss things that you couldn't
discuss in front of Katherine Reed?

What we discussed
is neither here nor there.

What is this?

Polygraph charts.

Mr Karp volunteered for a polygraph
after the news
of the death of Ms Reed.

This was supplementary
to our regular polygraph that our
operatives undertake at intervals.

Here are
the question-and-answer sheets.

Question seven.

"Did you have an undisclosed
relationship with Katherine Reed?"

Eight.

"Do you have knowledge
of who was responsible
for the death of Katherine Reed?"

Are you being serious?

I'm sorry? Are you suggesting
this is an answer to my questions?

We don't accept validity of the lie
detector in this country. Might have
fewer security problems if you did.

You can beat a polygraph by inducing
high blood pressure and anxiety

when you do the baseline reading,
and once you've done that,
you can lie your head off.

Mr Karp, I'd like one of my officers
to take a DNA sample from you,
please. A mouth swab.

And then I would like you
to answer my questions.
..Am I a suspect to you?

I don't have a suspect,
but when a material witness
is hostile or evasive,

I naturally become a bit suspicious.

A DNA swab is no problem.

And we know all about your
legal attitude to the polygraph.

We brought these papers in a spirit
of frankness and co-operation.

Obviously,
we've been misunderstood here.

OK, Mel.

OK, open your mouth, please?

Thank you.

I knew her well. Liked her.
What did you think
when you heard of the murder?

Didn't know what to think. Our first
thoughts are usually automatic.

What was
YOUR first automatic thought?

I didn't know much about her
private life...but I couldn't
imagine her having a violent lover.

Why not? I suppose because I couldn't
imagine her having a lover at all.

I'm trained to notice a lot
about people. She put out none of
the signs women put out towards men.

Are you prepared to tell me

what you and Sir James Beatty
discussed with Katherine Reed?

No, I am not.
..Do you have any reason
to doubt Sir James's word?

No.

His alibis would be no use to us,
anyway.

Spooks working undercover -
what use are they?

So you're depending on the word
of Sir James Beatty.
No, I'm not. I'm depending on you.

You're depending on ME
to tell you about Karp?

He's trained to hide his personality,
feelings, nature. His name might not
be Larry Karp. He could be an alien.

I'm to put on my X-ray specs?
I'd put it another way.

What's YOUR way of putting it?
You could be
a human polygraph machine. Ready?

Was Larry Karp lying his head off?

How the hell would I know?
Oh, Grace!

I don't believe there's evidence
to suggest Katherine Reed
was murdered by the CIA!

Why so sure?
If they wanted to murder her,

why would they make it LOOK
like murder? Ah, well, exactly!

You're paranoid. You can convince
yourself of anything
when you decide it's spies involved.

Someone killed her. The Permanent
Secretary covered up his meeting
at her flat, which the CIA attended,

and they did their best to stop
the police finding out. ..Yeah.

Ah!

PHONE RINGS

All right.

What's YOUR theory?

Well...I haven't got a theory.

But we have to sort out the private
Katherine Reed before we decide it's
all about the public Katherine Reed.

Well, whoever this is, this sperm
is not your friend Karp's.

Are you sure? I try to be.

No resemblance? Nope, none at all.

I haven't got an appointment.
..You can't see Sir James
without making an appointment.

I'm a police officer on an active
investigation. It isn't always
practical to...make an appointment.

He's not here. Oh.

How long will he be? I've no idea.

Do you mind if I wait?
..No? Thanks.

Excuse me?

Is there anywhere I can...?

Through there?
..Thank you.

(Call me back in 30 seconds
with something urgent.)

DOOR SLAMS

Thanks.

CLOCK CHIMES

MOBILE RINGS
Oh, excuse me. Sorry.

Yes?

OK, I'll be right there.
Thank you.

Could you tell Sir James
that I'll call for an appointment?

Thank you.

MOBILE RINGS

Have you done it?
You know me - I never sleep.

I've got an interesting result.
I've done the DNA test.

It's a match. You certain?
It's not a fingerprint -
no uncertainty. It's him.

All right. ..Thank you, Frankie.

The semen in Katherine Reed's
body was Sir James Beatty's.

Shit!
