[cheering]

I declare that Liz Jackson

is the duly elected member of parliament

for this constituency.

[Cheering]

[General chatter]

[Sounds of celebration]

Yes!

[Cheering and clapping]

2nd of may, 1997 should have been the best day

of Ben ransley's life.

He was Liz Jackson's researcher

and he'd just seen her get re-elected with a huge majority.

That was an incredible night.

The atmosphere was just electric.

Not in my house.

Holly was teething, we were on our knees.

So it was I as it happens.

Ben was killed roughly two hours

after the vote was announced

and he was found under westminster bridge.

What was he doing there?

All we know for certain is that he was punched,

broke his jaw and died from a trauma to the head

as he hit the floor.

The original investigation put it down to a robbery

but they couldn't even raise a suspect.

There was nothing much to go on,

no cctv, no witnesses, no forensics.

And there may have been a nudge of political pressure

to have this one stay out of the limelight.

What you mean the spin doctors kept it out of the news?

[Danny] Well, the press had plenty of other things

to talk about.

We won eurovision the very next day.

Katrina and the waves.

Happy days.

The only real lead the first inquiry had was this,

found in Ben's wallet.

But none of his friends, family, or colleagues

could identify her.

Blimey! If I had a looker like that in my wallet,

I'd want everyone to know about it.

Which is exactly why you'd never

have a looker like that.

No one could find her

and so the case was put to rest.

Until last week.

A bank in Jersey contacted Ben's mother to tell her

about a dormant account in his name.

Opened with a cash deposit of £40,000 two months

before he died and untouched ever since.

Well, was he from a wealthy family?

No, and as a researcher, he would've been on about £18k.

So obviously the question is...

What was he doing with £40k off-shore?

Gambler? Dealer?

He's a politician! Bent like the rest of them!

Keep me posted.

I will.

This is outrageous!

He only got three grand in interest!

Three grand in 16 years.

That's a yield of only 0.4% aer.

If he'd have bunged this in a wrap-around isa

over the equivalent period

he'd be looking at 7 to 8% minimum.

Look at this, eh?

The nerve centre of 900 years of democracy.

All that time and the lunatics are still

running the asylum.

Holly's studying politics, you know.

She's give her eye-teeth to be in there.

You'd let her go in there with that mob?

Ben ransley was a key member

of Liz Jackson's campaign team.

What's she doing now?

Left parliament in 2003,

was a local counsellor before that

now works for a housing co-op.

Back down to earth with a bump.

Hm, Jim Marshall, that was Liz Jackson's senior strategist

at the time, he's still a big beast behind the scenes.

Never been an mp but has advised senior figures

in the cabinet

before setting up a think tank which pursues

it's gradualist reforms to free market economies.

Still got his snout in the trough, then?

Yes, I think you'll get on with Jim.

Why? Don't you think I'd enjoy our free

and frank exchange about supply side economics?

No, because he asked us to meet here.

Ah ha ha ha!

Well, let's not keep him waiting, eh?

[Rubs hands with glee]

I wasn't sure I wanted to tell anyone

about this Jersey account.

You've done the right thing.

We know it can be difficult for you, reopening the case.

If we can find out what really happened,

it might help you come to terms with..

Oh please!

Don't talk to me about closure.

I've had 16 years of people telling me to move on,

get over it.

How are you meant to get over the murder of your child?

Was it a surprise that Ben kept this £40,000

as a secret from you?

Ben's father died at no age, leaving just the two of us

and we love each other, but you keep your privacy too.

Yeah, but it's, it's a lot of money.

You sure he didn't mention anything at all?

He'd left home, had his own life.

I mean, he'd come back some weekends,

still helped me out on jobs

but I have no idea where this money came from.

And you didn't know the girl from the photo either?

I walked in on him once with a girl.

He was so embarrassed.

We didn't talk much about personal things after that.

Were there any names, girl's names

in his diaries?

The police looked, but...

It was the worst day.

Clearing his flat.

I never could go through his things.

Boxes sat in the garage for years.

Eventually, I gave them to Eddie.

Eddie who?

Eddie Trenton, his closest friend.

He's more likely to know about girls,

everything.

There you go.

Cheers.

Sorry we had to meet in here.

No problem.

People think the house is where it's at

but I've made more progress over a pint and a pie in here

than a dozen fancy functions.

A far cry from liverpool.

Democracy belongs to us all

and I've earned my place the hard way.

The miners' strike, trade unions...

But you haven't come to hear about my political odyssey,

have you?

You were close to them?

Yeah, well, we worked side by side

for the best part of what? Three years?

Now, there's Liz now.

Hi! Liz Jackson.

He walked into party hq straight from university,

this lanky kid.

There was nothing to him,

a gust of wind would've blown him over.

He started as a researcher,

running strategy with Jim in no time.

So it was quite an important job, then?

Yeah, we'd formulate Liz's policy positions,

speeches, press meetings, you name it.

Ben was young,

but he had a sophisticated political instinct

which is a perfect match for Jim's more robust approach.

We could do with him on our side now.

You're standing again?

In 2015. Jim's kindly offered to help me with my campaign,

even though he's a very important person these days.

[Chortling]

Can I take you back to '97?

Um, why is this investigation being reopened?

New evidence.

An offshore account with a big chunk of money in it.

Doesn't sound like Ben, are you sure it's his?

£40,000.

Now, would you have any idea where that came from?

Liz is standing again.

Maybe the raking things over could discredit her?

No, this isn't a smear.

The evidence has come from a legitimate source.

Did Ben give any indication that he was in trouble?

You know, drinking? Gambling?

Nah, wasn't that sort of kid.

So when did you first notice

that he'd left the town hall that night?

We think the last time was about 1.30

just after the totnes results came in.

The last contact I had with him,

he hugged me and he said "we've done it!"

And he said he thought I was going to be a brilliant mp!

Did it sound like goodbye?

He did the same with me.

Folk were hugging all night long.

So why did he leave the town hall?

I wish we knew.

Ah! We have a constituency q&A.

Of course!

But if there's anything else we can do to help,

anything at all.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! We're going nowhere, son,

we've still got work to do.

Trenton communication, promotes and protects the interests

of world-class brands and current affairs.

The hell does that mean?

Someone swallowed a bullshit pill.

Come on through!

You sure?

We've only been waiting 70 minutes.

So you and Ben were at university together?

Yes.

Well, we actually met in the sand pit when we were two,

school together then read economics at Manchester

before moving to London.

What exactly is it you do?

Ah, the full spectrum of public relations.

Brand engagement, corporate, digital

and strategic communications,

crisis management, regulatory affairs.

Do you work with the government?

Business needs to speak to legislators.

I provide the conduit.

You were very close to Ben

and yet you never met this girl?

Or knew of his account in Jersey?

Not until orla told me about it, no.

Any ideas why he had all that money off-shore?

Do you know everything about the financial affairs

of your mates?

Were there a lot of girls?

Well, yeah, he'd hook up with someone if he needed to

but he wasn't in it for the relationship.

Why would he have a photo of this particular girl

in his wallet?

Well, who can tell?

But she wasn't only in his wallet.

I found this.

Wasn't actually with Ben stuff.

He lent me a load of books ages ago.

I forgot they were his.

I found them again at the back of a bookshelf

when I was moving home in 2011.

That photo just popped out.

Did you take this to the police?

I only brought it in today because I knew you were coming.

We've been looking for this woman.

You should have handed it in!

I didn't know it was important!

The case was closed, it's just a photo

Marshall and Jackson couldn't shed any new light

on Ben's death, but we stayed on at the pub.

All in the name of plod, you understand.

Your commitment is admirable.

Ah, we just bought a few drinks

and loosened a few tongues.

And came away with enough gossip

to fuel a dozen investigations.

Good, any to fuel this one?

Well, nobody really remembers Ben

but Eddie Trenton certainly made a few enemies.

By doing what?

It may be old fashioned jealousy.

He's a powerful player, makes a heap,

the hacks are aggrieved.

Yeah, and a couple of them

definitely thought he was a bit dodgy.

So we're talking corruption.

Well of course we are!

It's all snouts in troughs, innit?

Well, we may be talking about

a bunch of boozed up insiders making mischief but

he's a lobbyist, his best friend worked for an mp.

Do you want me to dig into it?

Guv, come and have a look at this.

See what she's wearing?

I preferred her other outfit.

No, not the fashion, bum face, look what's written on it.

Look!

Just through there.

Thanks very much.

Alright?

Some place, innit?

Yeah.

Excuse me, Mr. Russell?

Yes. Hello.

Detective superintendent Pullman.

This is my colleague, Gerry standing.

How do you do.

I'm really sorry to bother you Mr. Russell,

and we know it's a long shot,

but this lady is wearing one of your company fleeces.

Do you recognise either of them?

Well, I don't know him, but she's my wife.

Can we have a word with her?

Well, I haven't seen her since 1997.

Her name's Hana, Hana keranovic.

And you're sure that you don't know the man?

Because they seem like quite close friends.

She had a lot of friends.

This one was killed on the 2nd of may, 1997.

His name is Ben ransley

ransley?

Well, that's the caterers.

They do all our company events.

Ben used to work for his mother sometimes.

So, maybe that's where he met Hana.

When did you last see your wife?

On the morning of may 2nd.

She said she was going into town shopping.

She never came back.

You reported her missing?

I didn't.

I assumed she'd gone home, back to Bosnia.

Hold on, hold on!

Your beautiful wife disappears.

Anything could have happened to her

and you did nothing about it?

She was much younger than me.

I knew she'd leave eventually.

And you're alright with that arrangement?

Do you have an address for her in Bosnia?

I never knew where she lived.

Her town was destroyed in the war.

She didn't like to dwell on it.

Where did the two of you meet?

At a members' club in town.

And you've had no contact with her since she disappeared?

Talk to Lukas klasnic.

He owns the club.

He's more likely than me to know where she went.

Membership is £10,000 a year.

Even for the girls?

I run a convivial place where powerful men can meet

suitable women who they otherwise wouldn't have time

to encounter.

Tell me about Hana keranovic

Hana, was she a member?

She married Peter Russell in 1996.

He's the owner of a multi-million pound

engineering business.

One of our success stories.

How are they?

I was told, you know where she is.

I haven't seen her since she married.

I don't have much to do with former members.

Hana must be at least 35 years younger than Russell.

Is that the usual service you provide?

People like me

and Hana had nothing when we came to the UK.

Money, family, friends, security,

peace.

None.

But Hana had beauty.

If her parents wouldn't have been murdered,

her country destroyed,

she wouldn't have used her looks any more

than you have in your life.

Help me find her.

Russell doesn't even know where she came from.

Kozarac, it's northwest Bosnia.

Do you have an address?

It's a small town.

Most of the people were executed.

Would she go back?

Would you?

[Sounds of celebration]

♪ things can only get better ♪

I take it they're not planning a second career

in light entertainment.

They just won an election,

they're entitled to let their hair down.

Bunch of plums the lot of 'em.

Never had you down as a old Tory, Gerry?

Me? I'm not anything I just hate politicians.

So who'd you vote for then?

None of your business!

Come on, I'm interested.

Yeah, well, I'm not biting.

Politics and religion, as my old mum used to say,

are off the table.

So is talking to a mardy jock

but I can't do anything about that now.

How are we doing with Interpol?

Yeah, we're on to it.

And the husband?

Well, he claims that he was in the house all that night,

making phone calls,

trying to find out what happened to Hana.

We're chasing the phone company.

What about the TV footage?

Well, it all tallies with what Jackson and Marshall

told us.

Yeah, Ben's in the hall till just before

the totnes result and then he drops out of sight.

I don't suppose Hana shows up?

No.

Yeah, well, I've got a friend who might be able

to help you find her.

Max clement, twenty years with the French police,

seven at serious and organised.

He's a UN war crimes investigator

specialises in former yugoslavia.

I'm sure his mother's very proud,

but I don't need any help thank you, sir.

The bosniak diaspora in London clusters in willesden,

harrow, hounslow and Whitechapel.

His money's on hounslow.

You've already spoken to him.

It's easy to hide there.

Plenty of shadow work at the airport.

Max is flying in tomorrow on other business.

You should meet.

This is my investigation, sir.

Yeah, well I don't see much progress.

We are making progress.

I've been going through Ben's finances.

There's nothing here tells us much about Jersey,

but in the months before his death,

he made a regular withdrawals from an atm in Victoria.

So?

So it's not on his route to work or home.

What's he doing there?

Right, now, the hole in the wall used to be here.

Yeah, there were six visits in February,

nine in march and April,

all at lunch time

and all taking around 50 quid out each time.

You see, I'd say he was gambling

but there's no bookies anywhere.

I just...

Hah hah! Mint me a medal and call me Sherlock!

The perfect place to bring yer bit of skirt.

You're the longest serving member of staff.

I was just a chambermaid in 1997.

But you had contact with the guests?

Hm, sometimes.

Well, this couple were regulars.

They probably wouldn't have stayed the night.

Lunchtime liaisons.

The sort of arrangement the staff should remember.

No, I don't recognise.

His name was Ben ransley

and that's Hana keranovic.

I can take the photo?

I'm still friends with many of the people who worked here

in those days.

So you've been here 18 years!

You never wanted to move?

I don't like change.

Here is fine.

Well, your English is very fine.

I'm married to an arsenal fan.

Oh, hard luck!

So where are you from originally?

Bosnia.

Just like Hana.

I don't know this girl.

She knows.

Get ahold of Steve and put a tail on her

when she leaves a tail?

No, no, no. I've got somewhere to be tonight.

Tell her to start without you.

Yeah, Holly, look, can we talk about this when I get home?

Don't freak, dad, I'm only trying to help.

Dan, how are we doing with Russel's alibi?

Yeah, the phone records check out

and he was making calls all through the night.

Hi Sandra!

Hello Holly.

I was just telling dad that I wrote a special assignment

on the role of lobbyists in democracy.

Your Eddie Trenton's a piece of work.

You've spoken to her about the case.

I broke into dad's laptop.

Holly, that was out of order.

Your password is holly95,

doesn't take a criminal mastermind.

Holly!

Eddie got caught handing out commons passes.

Is that bad?

He got away with it, but it means he doesn't play

by the rules.

Which is interesting when we learn about Liz Jackson's role

on the committee.

What committee?

Oh, Jackson sat on a parliamentary committee

during her first term,

exploring the ethics of the arms industry.

Both committees are mega powerful.

Jackson would have had a hand

in the committee's final report.

With recommendations that could cost businesses billions.

So, we know that Eddie is fly

and we now know that Ben worked for an mp

who sits on an extremely influential committee.

Oh we do, do we?

They've got to have been up to something.

Okay, Holly, thank you very much.

Bye bye!

I am so sorry.

I had no idea she'd broken into the...

Can you prove there's a connection

between Eddie and Ben on this?

No, but then I don't think anyone...

Get me proof and I might not slap you

with a data protection charge.

Jackson never climbed the pole after '97 landslide.

Wouldn't follow the party line.

You can see it in their speeches,

disappointed at the level of entry for the minimum wage

and strongly opposed to various...

Oi, oi, oi!

Is any of this helping us find Hana?

Well, we can't afford to ignore Ben's political

involvement here.

It's got nothing to do with politics.

And the only involvement we need to know

about is he was jumping someone else's wife.

Everything's political, Gerry, this car, your pension...

Don't push my buttons!

Well it's all related, you've got to take notice,

you've got to have an opinion about these things.

Shut up! There she is.

Right, you follow her, give us that,

leave the keys.

I've already spoken to her.

I'll be fifty yards behind you.

Yeah, yeah!

[Dramatic upbeat music]

It's been a while, sorry.

Sorry.

[Indistinct]

Shit!

[Train engine roaring]

[Dramatic upbeat music]

What took you so long?

I'm not very good at this kind of caper,

I'm more of you cerebral type, know what I mean?

What's she up to?

Nothing.

And she's taking a bleeding long time doing it.

Listen, listen, you can carry on from here, can't you?

- What? - I'm on a promise.

Hey, listen, pal, this is a stake out.

You can't leave me here on my own.

It's all right for you cerebral types, innit?

You've got things to think about.

I've got more physical urges.

Here, c'mon.

Go! Run!

Stay where you are! Stay where you are!

No! No!

Tell me everything, marta.

Hana was a friend,

but I didn't know Ben till she brought him to the hotel.

They were lovers.

They were planning to run away.

They'd been saving up.

And this was the bank account in Jersey.

Did Hana's husband find out?

I don't know.

Where did she go after Ben died?

She lived with me.

I got her a job at the airport.

Where is she living now?

Hounslow?

What name is she using?

She didn't kill Ben!

She didn't come forward.

She was frightened.

Of what?

Please, I can't say anything.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

Marta's not giving us very much, but this is her phone

so Hana's number will be on it.

Find it and then get onto the networks, will you?

It'll take 14 days to process.

Just do it, Gerry.

Marta and Hana have both seen war.

Hana saw her boyfriend murdered.

Marta would rather die than give Hana up.

These women are tough.

Where did she go?

You think Hana was a spy?

Huh?

A honey trap.

Sent to seduce him

in order to gain access to Jackson's parliamentary secrets.

He's having one of his moments.

It happens!

There was a lib dem who had an affair

with his much younger Russian researcher

and she wrote...

Alright, alright, thank you, John le carre.

Guvnor,

why don't you have a word with strickland's mate?

You did make the hounslow connection.

C'mon boys, work.

[Dramatic upbeat music]

Taxi drivers have changed for the better

since my last visit.

I'm not a taxi driver.

Then what have I done right

to deserve being met by a beautiful woman?

I'm looking for a Bosnian woman, Hana keranovic.

Is she a croat or a bosniak?

It makes a difference.

She's from kozarac.

Poor girl!

I did seven years in kozarac

and you think you've seen it all.

Just a minute.

The serb army attacked kozarac in may, 1990.

They shot people in their homes and others who surrendered

were taken to a football stadium

where more of them were killed.

The rest of the villagers were marched into the forest

separated by sex and sent to the camp.

Keranovic, you said her name was?

Yeah.

Wow, is that her whole family?

We're still finding bodies.

1,226 have been buried so far, but hundreds are missing.

Hana was probably sent to trnopolje concentration camp.

It's a miracle she got to this country at all.

We traced her to hounslow but she managed to get away.

Would she to go back home?

There is nothing there for her.

Where would she go?

If she escaped the camp and managed it to come here

she's an expert at slipping through the cracks.

But! But! The community is close-knit.

Fancy something to eat?

I thought you had a meeting.

Rule of life.

Always embrace the unexpected.

[Indistinct]

[Jazz music]

[Greetings in Bosnian]

Bravo!

Thank you.

A kebab?

Aren't you supposed to enjoy this

after several gallons of lager?

This is the finest food you'll ever taste.

Will it help me find my suspect?

She's long gone.

Eat the kebab.

So why did you join the war crimes unit?

I really love my work with the French police

but... i needed another challenge.

And there was this girl.

Did you hear of the mariza vlasic case?

Yeah, yeah, vaguely.

Yeah, a bit like your Hana, escaped the war,

built a real good life here.

She killed a man, didn't she? Tortured him.

She was looking for the Serbian commander

who burnt her village

and you know, she didn't have to do it

but... but the horror dragged her back.

I caught stojan zupljanin years later.

Seeing him, sentenced at the haig,

was the proudest moment of my career.

People like Hana, they have seen all that's worst.

Makes them tough.

It makes them survivors.

Killers?

What's your number?

[Suspenseful music]

Well, we may not be able to find Hana

but we can ask her to make contact.

Hana keranovic.

[Conversation in Bosnian]

These guys, they know everyone.

I assured them that you meant Hana no harm.

She'll be in touch.

[ Mobile phone ringing]

Excuse me.

Yes, Gerry?

Peter Russell, who said he hasn't been in touch

with Hana for 16 years, texted her two days ago.

Peter mailed, "people came to see him.

"Tell me if they come to you."

That's a text sent from your wife

to her friend marta that we had translated.

Why did you lie?

We've only been in contact twice since she left.

Eight years ago, she emailed me that she needed money.

I wired her a transfer.

Did you feel used?

I felt wanted.

That's nice.

Did you strike a similar deal in '97 and ask for 40k?

But she'd never asked for money before.

But you knew she was having an affair with Ben ransley.

I mean, Hana was a beautiful young woman.

You must have thought all your christmases had come

at once when you married her.

And then Ben comes along,

regular hotel sessions, hands all over her.

You've got this wrong!

He was going to steal her!

You had every right to kill him.

I never even met the guy.

Look, I know what it meant when I married Hana.

I knew she'd need affection from somebody of her own age.

This wasn't affection, this was sex.

She was really brave.

I wanted to protect her.

You know exactly what you wanted.

I told her that i'd never stand in her way.

You bought her from a club!

That's enough!

I'm a mug.

There's no need to rub it in!

Where is she, Peter?

So you see the worst of people in here

but the other 99.9% of us, when we're in love,

all we want is our partners happy and safe.

However much that may hurt.

[Knocking on door]

It's been like this for a while.

Nothing happening.

Got to be Hana, though, hasn't it?

Some sort of message.

Is ds Pullman there?

Is that you, Hana?

I want to help you.

Then come in and talk to me.

I could have phoned but I want you to see me,

know that you can trust me.

This isn't trust.

You're still hiding and I've got your husband in custody.

He's not involved. Let him go.

I was there.

I saw the killer.

Corner of feeden place and glenmore street in an hour.

Come alone.

She said to come alone.

She doesn't make the rules.

She knows what you look like now.

She's totally paranoid.

Guvnor!

We'll be lucky.

[Phone ringing]

[Hana] I asked you to come alone.

I see three of you at least.

There's another phone box on crown street,

by the bridge.

Five minutes.

Where are we going?

Oi! Oi!

[Dramatic upbeat music]

If I'd have known we were going

to do this much running about,

i'd've brought my roller blades.

[Hana] You're still not alone. Last chance.

And I mean it. Keep walking east.

Wait here.

What?

[Dramatic upbeat music]

I didn't kill Ben.

I loved him.

Talk to me.

It was my fault.

I knew it was dangerous.

You were going to leave your husband

and run away with Ben, yeah?

Straight after that stupid election.

That night?

We should have left before

but he had to help his mp win.

Did you have enough money to run away?

Ben said he had.

From where? Eddie?

I don't know this.

What was the danger, Hana?

Lukas, Lukas will kill anyone who leaves him.

He rescues Balkan girls.

He trained us to meet your ugly men.

Prostitution.

No, we make them fall in love.

No sex before marriage.

Hana!

[Sandra] Is that what happened with Russell?

[Hana] For a year I was telling him

my sad stories until he'd do anything for me.

[Sandra] Why does Lukas wants you to marry?

So we can pay our debt to him.

Lukas saved us.

He got us out of Bosnia, bought our clothes, our food.

He gave us good life.

How much do you owe him?

It's forever.

Husbands, they're so rich,

they don't even notice when we steal.

And if you don't pay?

[Sounds of shouting, beating and crying]

How about if you fall in love with someone else?

We were going to meet under the bridge.

That was our place.

And then take the night train to Paris

while everyone was celebrating.

Ben thought we'd be long gone.

But Lukas must've found out.

It must have been one of his men.

Why? Did you recognise him?

No, but it had to be.

Can you give me a description?

I had to run away.

He'd been told to kill me too.

Okay, Hana, come into the station with me.

Lukas will kill me!

Help me build a photo-fit.

I can't remember.

I try. All I see is Ben.

Okay. Well we can help you with that

and we have protection programmes.

It was Lukas!

[Sounds of beating and shouting]

Turns out your club is more than just a place

to find a pretty girl.

Of course.

The members are looking for a life partner.

It's amongst the most significant decisions

they will ever make.

And how long did the girls have to pay their dues to you?

I don't understand.

Are they ever free?

Have you found Hana?

Do you know Ben ransley?

He was killed on the 2nd of may in 1997.

Where were you that night?

I can't remember.

But you knew that Hana was going to run away with him?

No, I don't know this.

Where were you?

It was 16 years ago!

Well, it was pretty memorable.

It was the night of the general election.

I'll have a look at my diaries.

You do that.

I also want details of all your employees at the time.

Girls, bodyguards, henchmen.

I don't have henchmen

what you beat the girls up yourself, do you?

During the war, I rescued over a hundred people

from villages and camps.

It doesn't make you their owner.

You didn't see the camps.

The west was too busy.

It was genocide.

The girls would be dead without me.

I'm going to stop your scam.

They love me.

Marry doctors, lawyers,

police.

All of these people are very good friends of mine.

Don't you dare threaten me.

Well, we'll just have to interview

everyone who's ever bleeding' worked for him.

Even if klasnic ordered the hit,

we'll never find the thug who actually did it, will we?

Nah!

Hana's played us.

We know she was at the scene.

She's throwing us Lukas to buy time plan a proper escape.

Where does she go now?

Okay. Let's think this thing through.

She's been on the run for 16 years.

First time she went to marta for help.

She got a job,

false documents,

changed her name to Helen Smith.

Feel free to chip in any time

guv, we're checking all the Helen smiths

in the hounslow area to find out where she lives.

Yeah, and marta is under surveillance.

Well she's not going to go back there again, is she?

But she does need help and money.

Last time she tapped Russell

and he's still soppy about her and he's loaded.

Right, you two, get on him straight away.

What, surveillance?

Yeah.

Excuse me! Isn't it about time that Danny had a little go?

Can't I'm afraid.

Boss!

This is the final report of the arms committee

Liz Jackson sat on.

Now, the industry had been selling guns, tanks,

landmines to all sorts of unsavoury regimes.

And this report was looking into tightening export criteria

and punitive measures for businesses who didn't behave.

Would've cost them millions if implemented

but they weren't.

No.

By the time this report came out,

the companies had taken preemptive steps

to show that they were on their best behaviour.

What? 'No need to regulate ours.

We're getting our own house in order' kind of shit?

Liz Jackson worked on this report.

It looks like it was watered down.

Ben could have sold the inside line to Eddie or anyone else.

Do you know what I most admire about you

is your total commitment for pissing up the wrong tree.

Now, have you've got any evidence on this?

No, I thought not.

So, you can take my place on surveillance.

No, no, no, no, I like this.

But it's all supposition!

Embrace the unexpected, Gerry.

You're with me, Dan.

[Dramatic upbeat music]

[Mumbles]

Ms Jackson?

Mr. Marshall?

Ah!

Detective superintendent Pullman.

Did Ben ransley ever mention a girl called Hana karanovic?

They were quite heavily involved.

Oh well, even if he did mention her,

we probably didn't pay attention.

But you'd have noticed if he was selling secrets.

What on earth are you talking about?

Trading details of your arms report.

He wouldn't.

This is a man's reputation.

You can't just sling muck.

He had 40k off-shore

and I've had a belly full of people

making lazy accusations about corruption in westminster.

A few bad apples fiddle their expenses and...

More than a few.

Was the report watered down?

Reports are always changed.

It's part of the process.

There's no conspiracy here.

What's your opinion of Eddie Trenton?

Nothing against him personally,

but lobbyists are the single biggest threat

to democracy that we face.

Because of the way they seek to influence policy.

Yes, but that didn't happen here.

Ben did have access to the arms report.

Of course! But we'd have noticed if anything...

You didn't notice that he was having an affair

with Hana.

The report's an irrelevance.

It's big business.

Theoretically, he could have leaked it.

Totally out of character.

But Eddie?

[Gerry] This is well out of order.

Danny could have done this golden bollocks.

[Steve] You're a right little ray of sunshine.

Look, I had plans to be somewhere

wrapped up nice and warm and furry

not sat here doing unwanted overtime.

Well, stop grumbling and do something about it.

I've done 60 hours this week already!

And I did the last two Saturdays.

Do you still pay your union dues?

No. I'm retired.

Yeah, well until you do, you can stop moaning.

I want your client list from '96.

I'll be with you in a minute.

I'm afraid that's confidential corporate information.

Did you represent arms companies?

I refer you to my previous answer.

As you know, we're keen to establish how Ben

got £40,000 in a secret account.

Was it a payment from you?

I am an expert at exerting influence

through legitimate channels.

Does that mean you did represent arms companies?

My strategies are highly effective.

I've never had to play dirty.

What about the time you had those commons passes?

Now that was a misunderstanding

all the same, must've been tempting.

Having a best friend so close to a significant report.

As soon as we knew we were compromised, I ceased contact.

But the report was leaked to the arms company.

I have never worked with arms!

There are plenty of companies that do

and 10 other mps on the committees!

Now.

If you think the report was skewed

I'm sure there are no end of doors you can go and knock on.

It had nothing to do with Ben or me.

[Gerry] Guvnor?

Eddie's hiding behind client confidentiality.

Has anyone checked his alibi?

He was with some girlfriend at a hotel.

Okay. Well, let's see what she has to say now.

What's happening your end?

Nothing!

He left his office at 6:00,

went to a local Chinese,

came back to his office

and now he's up there all alone with his precision tools.

Hang on in there.

I'm sending over the next shift in four hours

four!

If Hana doesn't show up,

we'll bring Russell in tomorrow.

[Dramatic upbeat music]

Gerry.

Bit late for a delivery, ain't it?

Yeah.

Hey!

Oi!

[Dramatic upbeat music]

Gerry!

Shit!

Thank you.

Doctors have induced a coma but it's too early to say

if he'll come around.

Do you think he knows who killed Ben?

Do you suspect Lukas?

Whoever it is may try again

to make sure no one gets access.

Boss, this is a sideshow.

Lukas attacked him because he spoke out of turn,

because he brought us to his door.

He won't come back.

We should concentrate on the report,

Eddie and the Jersey account.

Well, Trenton's alibi stands up.

His former girlfriend is sticking by her statement.

She says she was in a hotel with him in surrey that night.

They could be paying her off.

Have you spoken to the hotel?

Yeah, they definitely booked in and when he left,

he paid by credit card.

He's a clever man, he knows how to cover his tracks.

But then he skips back to London

and kills his best friend, I mean..

Yeah, it's a possibility. Check motorway cctv

and also have another look at the election night footage.

See if he shows up there.

[Dramatic upbeat music]

Hi!

Shit!

Time for you to come in, Hana.

Will Peter be all right?

We hope so.

[Whispers] I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.

[Dramatic upbeat music]

[Door opens]

Is Lukas arrested?

[Door closing]

He didn't do it.

Hah, you're scared of him too.

I want you to tell me what you saw that night.

It was a big risk for me to help you

and you done nothing!

And now I need you to help me again.

Tell me what you saw.

It was Lukas!!

God!

Hana, look, I do understand why you won't trust anyone,

I do,

but if that's all you're going to say

then I guess we'll never have justice for Ben.

You say you're not going to help me,

well I'm certainly not going to stop you.

So,

you're free to go

no offence, pal, but she's losing it.

Nah, she's an only child.

Got strange sense of humour.

[Door closes]

I lost my father when I was 14.

It shaped my life.

I can't begin to imagine what you've been through

but I really need you to give me a description of the man.

Hair, size, clothes, anything!

All right.

Okay.

Can you at least tell me if Ben

ever mentioned doing work for arms companies?

He never talked about his job.

Wouldn't even introduce me to his friends.

So you never met Marshall or Liz Jackson?

Or Eddie or anyone.

To be safe, we kept secret.

What about the bank account in Jersey?

There's a lot of money in it.

Ben was always worrying about the money.

To me didn't matter.

But yeah, Ben wanted enough money

to go away.

But he never told you where he got it from

or where it was?

I remember he was always travelling for work.

Nottingham, Blackpool, Jersey.

He went to Jersey with work?

I suppose, yeah.

Ask marshalle went with him.

Marshall, not Eddie?

Eddie?

Do you think Eddie killed Ben?

Ben is his best friend.

Let's go back to that night.

You were meeting with Ben

and then you were going to run away.

Why the bridge?

It's where we had our first kiss.

I was so happy.

I was free.

Oh my god.

I see the man.

He was over Ben.

His shirt was ripped and

there was blood

he saw me.

I thought he's gonna kill me too.

I ran away.

I remember, I don't want to remember.

All I see is Ben lying there.

There was something red.

There was something red.

[Pub chatter and laughter]

Look

thank god you're here,

this mob have had me cornered that long I'm growing a beard!

Price of popularity.

Just a few questions.

Happy to help, can I get you a drink?

When did you go to Jersey with Ben?

Jersey? We travelled a lot.

This will be the trip where you put £40,000

into his off-shore account.

Ring any bells?

Well, you've lost me.

Perhaps you remember this lady?

[Dramatic upbeat music]

You've arrested me on the word of a prostitute

who's been on the run for 16 years.

Why didn't you tell us about your trip to Jersey

with Ben?

Who said I went to Jersey?

Don't worry.

We'll have a look at your bank accounts,

diaries, passenger manifests...

I can't take this seriously.

You were taking money from arms companies.

Ben found out and you tried to buy him

off in Jersey with £40,000.

Then what?

You best bloody know what you're doing here, detective.

Thin ice.

We have footage from the town hall

you were there all night.

Very prominent.

Until the time you disappear around the time of Ben's death.

Where were you?

You're asking me to account for my movements

at a party 16 years ago?

I'll help you piece it together, shall I?

That night Ben threatened you in some way.

He was going to report you to the party

or to the papers, either way your career's finished.

Tell me if I'm getting warm.

This is ridiculous.

Ben was killed under westminster bridge,

five minutes from the hall.

Easy for you to get there and back

without being noticed,

except you were noticed.

'Cause we have a witness who saw you under the bridge.

Oh, there you are again

back at the town hall, wearing a different shirt.

I don't think you two know who you're dealing with.

He was like a son to you.

What was it like being covered in his blood?

That's enough! You're bang out of order!

We know you did it, Jim.

And the moment we start looking at all this in detail

the rest will just fall into place.

It always does with this sort of crime.

You didn't know you were going to kill him, did you?

It was heat of the moment.

So you would have left a trail.

Come on, Jim.

You've been carrying the guilt around for years,

set yourself free.

He was happy enough to take my money in Jersey

but then he changed his tune.

He got all sanctimonious.

[Ben] Tell them tomorrow morning,

everything you've done

or I'll tell them for you.

It's all part of the world we're in.

I haven't done nothing wrong.

I tried to talk to him seriously about politics,

but he didn't understand!

Ben! Wait!

I've said what I'm going to say

just listen to me, you're stupid,

you'll regret what you're doing.

No, I want to make a fresh start

we'd been out of power for 18 years,

we lost four elections.

Our time has come and I wanted to be part of it

yeah, well, I don't!

[Dramatic upbeat music]

I didn't mean to hurt him.

[Dramatic upbeat music]

She's here.

Hello, orla.

I'm Hana.

I loved your son.

This is our child.

He's called Ben.

I hope you don't mind.

Hi. [Indistinct]

Hi.

[Crying]

[Tense gentle music]

So this villain's hanging in mid air, right?

On this rope that is made out of sheets and towels

and all that.

And there he is with his meat and two veg

flapping all over the place for the world to see,

and I shout up to him, I go,

"oi!

[All together] "You won't get much swag in that sack!"

Oh, you've heard it.

The charm is in its repetition, Gerry.

Everybody, this is Max clement.

Sandra, you know. And...

Yeah, Gerry standing.

Hiya

- hi, Steve mcandrew. - Nice to meet you.

Danny gryphon.

Hi.

So you got a result?

Oh, we always get a result.

That's what I heard.

Crack unit.

Ah, it's nothing to do with us.

I blame the management.

Was Eddie Trenton involved?

Not with the arms report, no, he's clean

oh good.

Because I've got a friend

with a daughter doing an internship there.

Wouldn't want her to keep bad company.

Glad we could be of assistance.

Sandra, Max wants a word.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, I wanted to ask if I could talk to your witness, Hana.

We're still investigating the massacre at kozarac

and this testimony could be significant.

Well, I'll speak to her

and see if she's willing to be interviewed.

I'd appreciate that.

Why don't you stick around?

We're going for something to eat.

Yeah, Danny's gonna break the padlock on his wallet

or face a data protection charge,

you don't want to miss that.

If you don't mind?

Where are we going?

Bombay bhuna!

Why don't we try somewhere different?

Like what?

A kebab?

Kebab?

No! We know what we like,

and we like what we know.

Listen, I doubt if you can get a good jalfrezi

where you come from.

A what?

It's a traditional English dish.
