All language subtitles for Prime Suspect 1991 S01E02 720p WEB-DL HEVC x265 BONE

Ask him to say Karen.

Karen.

She picked out DC Caplan's brother.

They roped him in.

He's a tax inspector.

Thank you for your cooperation.

This could ruin your chance of being
taken back into university.

What were you doing?!

Excuse me, sir.
Are you representing George Marlow?

I'm sorry, I'm late.

Inspector, I'm from the Express.

Excuse me, Inspector?

That's right, ignore me!

Not now, George.

Just tell me why you're doing this!

Have you got something
personal against me?

Have you got a quote for me?

They brought me in here at 4am.
No apologies, no nothing!

Keeping you up, Frank?
Bit of a headache.

I hear you won last night.

I did, as it happens.

Guvnor, it's about Marlow's car.

His brief's on about
infringement of privacy.

Rubbish. Say you can't find me.

He says Marlow's car
was not officially reported stolen.

What?

Oh, my God!

DCI Tennison's office.

Super wants to see you ASAP.

I checked it all.
Marlow's car is not reported.

Shit!
About the Marlow rape case.

In a minute.

Vehicle theft reports
can be flung everywhere.

Is that for me?
DC Jones is waiting.

Tell him I'm on my way.

Check again. Coffee may have been
spilt on it, it may have been under
a wrong name.

Right, I'll sort it out.

Rape victim, what about her?

She was referred to as Miss X.
It's Miss Pauline Gilling.

Her counsellors say to question her
again will aggravate the situation.

Tell the Super you've tracked me
down to the paint factory.

Is Jonesy out the front or back?
The front.

We should leave Miss Gilling out.
She's had a breakdown.

How bad is she?

Her lift doesn't go to the top floor.

I can try again if you like.
That's all right. Saves me a schlepp
up to Rochdale.

Thanks!

He was found guilty but...

But?

George has always
been a bit of a lad.

A lot of the girls here know him.

Good-looking bloke.

I always got along with him.
Never known him to be moody.

Not even when he was in trouble?

He was more distressed about that.

I was in court, gave him
a character reference.

Are you saying
you don't believe he was guilty?

As I said, George is a bit of a lad.

Girls always coming on to him.

Did Mr Marlow
always work from London?

George joined the firm in Manchester.
We moved here in '82, George moved to
London '83.

But he kept his old roots up north.

I suppose they had friends and...

They?
Marlow didn't always travel alone?

His wife always went with him.

Tell me,
how far back do your records go?

'84. We've had a new system put in
but we've got all the records.

Hotel bills, petrol bills?

Yeah.
Could I see them?

George Marlow
is our prime suspect.

But we don't have evidence
to put him in that bedsitter.

No-one saw him
with either Della or Karen.

There is no mention of him by Della
in her diary.

If he did know her, if he killed her
before he killed Karen...

..he knew her bedsitter was empty.

He could've had a set of keys as
her handbag was found with no keys.

We've got a good selection
after your TV announcement.

Possible Karen Howard handbags.
Blue ones, big ones, little ones.

Why not get her flatmate in? Check
them over. That would save time.

Oooh (!)

Right, the good news is,
I'm going home, and Sgt Otley
will now give you the bad.

She's cancelled all weekend leave.

Apart from her own.

We check the factory. They virtually
computerised their salesmen's bowel
movements.

Waste of time
taking good men off the streets.

They've been on the streets
and we've got nothing.

She wants any unsolved murder cases
around Marlow's stopovers.

He covered Manchester, Rochdale,
Burnley, Warrington, Oldham.

And unless there's a good reason
to kick her off this case,
she stays put.

It's because she's a woman.
If a bloke had cocked-up...

..Marlow's reg number
and no stolen car report!

It was in Records
under the wrong name.

Come on!

It was a busy night.

She's off the hook and so am I.

A word of advice - make
it your business to get on with her.

That an order?

Yes.

Thanks for the drink and good night.

Maureen, if you get anything in
from Oldham, slip it to me.

Okay, skipper. Good night.

How many are you having?

Six, including us.
They could be partners for Peter.

His business isn't doing too good.

You doing starters?

I'll whack open a few avocados.

I don't know about the main course.

This is easy. Fresh pasta, cream,
some seasoning, smoked salmon.

Fresh fruit and cheese to follow.

Are any of them vegetarians?

Are any of your friends vegetarians?

"Marlow opened his heart
to our reporter."

"He wept, saying he was innocent and
the police made his life a misery."

There's even a photograph of you!

"This is the woman
in charge of the investigation."

"Her only words are, 'no comment'."
You should be here!

What are you doing?

Pictures of our surveillance lads!

"Marlow states he has been
hounded by an obsessive woman."

It's not funny.
I was reading it for Pam.

It's not funny!

This blows it for any line-ups.
They've got his picture
in the paper.

I think I'd better go.

# When you walk through a storm

# Hold your head up high

# And don't be afraid of the dark

BOTH: # At the end of a storm

# There's a golden sky

# And the sweet silver song
of a lark

# Walk on through the wind,
walk on through the rain

# Though your dreams
be tossed and blown

# Walk on, walk on #

You always liked the old ones.

I used to love that Elvis medley
I used to do. Remember that?

# Love me tender, love me true

# All my dreams fulfil

# For, my darling

# I love you.

# And I always will #

That was your dad's favourite.

I don't know what he would think
about this.

Why did you give them this photo?
I hated that school.

Your dad would turn in his grave.

Now, Mum, don't.

Don't cry.

I reckon they'll lay off me for now.

I'll get a new job. Things'll take
a turn for the better.

I'm innocent, Mum.

I had to speak to them.

All right!
Which pocket's got a present in it?

Oh...

Ah-ah!
You've got to promise me a song.

# Why am I always the bridesmaid

BOTH: # Never the blushing bride?

# Ding, dong, wedding bells

# Always ring for other girls

# But some fine day

# Oh, let it be soon

# I shall wake up
in the morning on my own honeymoon

# Why am I always the bridesmaid

# Never the blushing bride?

# Ding, dong, wedding bells

# Always ring for other girls

# But some fine day

# Oh, let it be soon

# I will wake up in the morning
on my own honeymoon #

Every time you come back from her
you sing those stupid songs.

That was a marriage proposal.

Time I made an honest woman of you.

Not if your mother
has anything to say about it.

I notice she gave the papers that
school photo of you in the posh
uniform.

Did I ever tell you about...

How beautiful she looked
at the prize-giving? Yes, you did.

But I never told you about after.
After the prize-giving.

Why go on about it?
You were at the school two minutes.

All the lads
were giving her wolf whistles.

I was walking me mum and dad
to the gates.

Mum was being coy,
waving to the lads.

She didn't want them to know
we didn't have a car.

Just as we got to the gates...

..the lads, they all saw it,...

..the wind blew her wig off.

You're kidding! Blew her wig off?

It wasn't funny, Moyra.

My dad ran down the road
to try and get it back.

Mum just stood there.
I didn't know she had no hair.

Dad tried to help her put it back on
but he got the parting wrong.

Underneath all that glamour she was
ugly, like she was someone
I never knew.

Did all the kids see it?

Did she ever mention it again?

I've never said anything
but it's always been obvious to me.

I just thought it was old age.

How long has she been bald?

I don't know.

She still pretends - always saying
she needs a good shampoo and trim.

So the Rita Hayworth of Warrington
was really Yul Brynner in disguise.

Did you really mean it
about getting married?

I love you...
I love you, Moyra Henson.

What do you say?

I'll think about it.

TANNOY: "DI Mansell
to interview room 4C."

Yeah, we've all read it. It's
not just me with egg on my face.

It makes our surveillance lads
look like wallies.

Any word on what their
readers' survey came up with?

For or against
female DCIs on homicide?

You're a biased load
of old chauvinists.

You could always get a job in panto.

You shit!
You're wanted upstairs, top floor.

It's coming down faster
than I gave them credit for.

Now you've all had a laugh,
get your brains into this lot.

Check any murders that took place
when Marlow was in the vicinity.

You wanted anything from Oldham.

All right, all right, settle down.

Got any better ideas, sarge?

I love you. I wouldn't two-time you.

Right, what are you having?
I'm buying.

That's the good news.

They're taking legitimate
surveillance off Marlow.

So I'm looking for four volunteers.

And you're one.

I was going for a slash.

Tie a knot in it.
And you're two.

Who? Me?

Yeah, surveillance
is a piece of piss.

Number three.

Paul, OK? Good.

Mine's a large G and T, thanks.

How'd it go, boss?

Unless I come up with something
soon, I'm off the case.

He's never given an inch.

What's this?
Skipper coughed up.

Go, go, go!

Cheers, skipper.

Cheers.

Oh, well, cheers, anyway!

Why don't you lot go home
and recharge?

Anyone for another drink?

I've had enough for one day.

I'm off. My wife's mother's
staying. I'll be up all night.

Let's go for a Chinese.

Oh, why not?

Eat in or take away?

We've cases to be looked into in
Oldham, Southport and Warrington.

Sorry?
Who do you want checking them out?

Anyone who's been
cooped up here all day.

I'll take Oldham.

Muddyman, Lillie,
Rosper's on Marlow.

That leaves Southport.
Will you take Southport?

Yeah, pin it up.

You can retire on your overtime.
Good night.

Why don't you take a rest, boss?

I've more to lose.

We've only got three possibles
out of God knows how many.

Why Oldham? He got relatives there?
What?

Sgt Otley asked for their files.
He's going up there tomorrow.

All right if I go home now?

Yeah, sure. Night.

Good night.
Good night.

I'll be home early tonight to set
things up for that dinner.

I'm doing pasta
with salmon and cream, OK?

Fine by me.

Do you think these will
soften up by tonight?

Prawns and mayonnaise.

Must not forget the mayonnaise.

I've got to rush off now.
Give us a kiss.

I'll be in Oldham, OK?

(BLEEPING)

It's my damn bleeper. Hold that.

Mind yourself.

Had a good journey, Inspector?

I'm DC Jones.
This is Chief Inspector Tennison.

Morning.

When the factory closed in 1984,

the tarts started bringing their
customers here.

We got the call at 4am.
Some tramp had gone in to doss down.

This is where they did the dipping.
The place used to be full of vats.

They'd hang the parts up to dry
on these. Jeannie Sharpe was
over there.

Hands tied behind her back?

Face down, head towards us.
She'd been savagely beaten.

She was naked up top. Found her shirt
outside and her coat in here.

Nasty place to finish up.

Tarts bringing their blokes
in here - asking for it.

She was 21 years old.

These friends of hers you want
to talk to. Slags isn't the word
for them.

Excuse me.

We clean the streets up
and back they come.

Sorry!

Anyway, we're all together
just coming out of the pub...

..and we'd had a few.
I hadn't. I were on antibiotics.

All right, Linda.

Anyway, the pub's right on a corner
and he were parked opposite.

What kind of car was it?

It were dark.
I suppose car were dark an' all...

..but it had a lot of chrome
on the front with badges and stuff.

He called out.
He knew her name?

It were more, 'How much, slag?'. I
said she'd had enough for one night.

She was saving up to emigrate.

So, you saw Jeannie cross the road.
Did you see her get in the car?

Yeah, she got in.

I looked over to see,
but he was sort of turning.

You didn't see his face?
No, the back of his head.

Never saw her again.

She had no-one to bury her.
We had a whip-round.

Do you fancy a drink?

You don't mind being seen
drinking with us, then?

That's me and that's Jeannie.
She was lovely looking.

Suits you, blonde.

I've gone natural, with the
cost of hairdressing.

25 quid for streaks!

We used to get cut price
at our local but they went unisex.

I can't stand having me hair done
with a man sat next to me.

I've got 15 minutes.
The van's outside.

I'm busy right now.

Sod off.

Cheers.

The barman says
there's a train at 4.20.

Cutting it fine. Got a dinner party.

So, do you recognise that man?

He's a bit tasty.

What do you reckon?

He had dark hair.

You thought he had a beard.
You never said in your statement.

Couldn't get away fast enough.

Police never gave a shit
about Jeannie.

We're rubbish
till they want a jerk-off.

And the big geezer doing
the investigation...

I'm not saying any names but...
I will! John Shefford.

Got rid of him faster than a fart.

Why was that?

I reckon they found out
about him and Jeannie.

Next thing we knew he'd gone
to London, the bastard!

But aren't all men?

We've got 4 kids between us.

Jeannie never stood a chance.
Her foster dad was screwing her
when she was seven.

She was on the streets at 14.

And that Shefford... he used to
tell her he'd take care of her.

He never found out who killed her.
He never tried.

She was strung up like a piece
of meat hanging from a hook.

How do you know that?

The dosser who found her told me.

Do you know his name?

He's dead, years back.

But he told me she was strung up
by her arms on a hook.

Got a cigarette?

Frank knows the restaurant.
He'll meet us there.

Yeah, about ten minutes.

Do you know what time it is?
Yes. I missed the fast train.

Forget it. I cancelled dinner
when you weren't here by seven.

You look knackered.

I've got all the food.
Just forget it.

Oh, Peter, I'm sorry.

So am I, Jane.

Just once I wanted you
to do something for me.

This is important to me.
My business is going down the tubes.

I have to go.

Don't you want me to come with you?
No, I don't!

I broke my neck trying to get here.

It's always you, isn't it?
You don't care about anything else.

No, I'm wrong. You care.

You care about your lads,
your rapists and your tarts.

Well, I've had it up to here.

Well, I won't wait up, then.

Yeah, make a joke of it.

(BUZZER)

That's for me.

Did it go all right last night?

Yeah, fine.
(BUZZER)

If that rings again,
I'll pull it off the wall.

All this because I didn't
cook dinner?

(BUZZER)

Jonesy, I'll be down in a minute.

Can we talk about this tonight?

You think we have
something to talk about?

Of course we do.

What time do you get back?

I don't know.

This is a very big case for me.
My career is on the line.

Fine.

I'll see you when I see you.

(PHONE RINGS)
You'd better go.

If it's for me, say I've gone.

Hello.

No, she's not.
Can I take a message?

Hello?

Tell those rude bastards at your
place I'm not an answering service.

I'll see you tonight.

Still no trace of Marlow's car.

I want that bloody car found!

Trouble at home?

I got your shopping OK, didn't I?

Yeah.

Dinner was a congealed
cement mix last night.

Yeah, well, when I get home,
I have to cook dinner myself.

The shit's going to hit
the fan this morning.

Have you got an aspirin?

'Shefford was having
a sexual relationship with her.'

'Lies. If John was alive...'
'But he's not.'

And you're still
covering up for him.

One of Jeannie's friends told me
that when her body was found,
it wasn't lying on the ground,

but hanging up,
strung up from a hook.

Somebody took that body down.
On the morgue photos, she has
bruises on her upper arm.

Is this from the statement
of the man who found her?

It'd be tough, he's been dead
for years.

Going on the word of a tart
six years later is a joke.

Is it? You specifically
requested the Oldham case.

You wanted to go because you knew
Shefford was involved.

(Another lie.)

There's either an ulterior motive
for these cover-ups,

or else it's a case of
'What's one dead prostitute?'

If officers want to screw around...
Lots of the lads fraternise...

Fraternise!
Della Mornay was an informer.

And a prostitute picked up and
charged by Shefford when he was
attached to Vice.

That's enough.
Perfect squad for him!

I don't have any details
about any previous case up north.
No ulterior motive.

Did you come up
with anything from Southport?

We're still checking the evidence.

You'd better get on with it.

I'll be in the incident room.

I worked with a good bloke
in Hornchurch.

Detective Sergeant Terence Amson.

That's the deal, is it?

Marlow spent 18 months inside.
All of these cases were either
before or after he was in jail.

He's still my only suspect for both
cases and now, very possibly,
Jeannie Sharp, too.

I think we've got a serial killer.

(PHONE RINGS)

(BLEEP)

"Jane, this is your mother.
Pam's had a girl."

"She's 8lbs 7ozs
and she's beautiful."

"She was rushed into St Stephen's
yesterday."

"You can go and visit any time
as she's in a private ward."

"That's the news so...
goodbye, then."

"Oh, give my love to Peter."

(MACHINE CLICKS OFF)

The one with the black hair.
He wears that suit.

Oh, he's mental, that bloke.

Vic Reeves.
Vic Reeves's Big Night Out.

Morning, fellas!

Morning.

Are you doing the whole block
or just the garages?

Just this lot as far as we know.

These aren't for residents.
Council rents them out.

Leave your car out round here
and they call it Radio One.

Means you had one
when you parked it.

I had one, it was nicked.

What, your car was nicked?
Yeah, Rover P6, 3.5, automatic.

Nearly 20 years old,
collectors' item.

You left it out?
Bodywork must've rusted up.

Bit of filler here and there.
Suppose kids nicked it for a joyride.

Be stripped by now.

I had all my Royal Automobile
emblems on a bar at the front.

Ah, well,...

I'm in the paint business.
This is typical of the council.

Work out, do you?

Look as if you do.

Which gym do you use?

Golds.

God, this is rubbish!

This will all blister up.

Hello.

I reckon we got off
on the wrong foot.

Would you like to go for a drink?

Has the Super spoken to you?

No. Look, I didn't know
about John's trouble in Oldham.

Yes, you did.

Sorry, Bill. You're off the case.

And I want the name of every officer
taking sexual favours from
prostitutes.

Hello, Terry. Good to see you.

And you. How're you doing?

I think I'm doing OK.

Where are we going?
The Scrubs.

'Reg McKinney served time
with Marlow in Durham.'

'He was picked up a few weeks ago
for breaking and entering.'

'He's got one previous GBH,
8 years, '68-'76.'

'He's been in and out of nick since.
Mostly small-time.'

I was asking you
where you met Marlow again.

Oh, yeah. Kilburn.
He drove me back to my place.

It's a bit of a schlep.

I offered to get the tube, but he
said it was OK as he had a lock-up.

Lock-up? What do you mean?
Like a garage?

I dunno. The car was like
an obsession with him.

Did he mention
where that lock-up garage was?

No.

I've got a terrible headache.

There's a call for DCI Tennison.
Said it was urgent.

Never mind your headache, Reg.

Are you sure he never told you
where that lock-up garage was?

Yeah.

The girl in Warrington and the one
in Southport had identical marks
on their arms.

RADIO: "DC Jones."
We're on our way to Marlow's flat.

"We've got the search warrant."

'He's got a lock-up
where he stashes his car.'

'Look for keys.'

'Get his bloody floorboards up
if necessary.'

'Now approaching
the Harrow Road flyover.'

'We're coming off now. Should be at
Marlow's flat in a few minutes.'

Hello! Something's up.

I don't believe this.

Open up!
What are they after?

Me.

I'd better get up there. Ta-ra.

Hello!

You want me?

I want that carpet put back!

Right. Front door, back door,
window locks, Yale lock.

Car keys, boot, ignition.
Same on Henson's key ring,
but no garage.

Why don't you tell me
what you're looking for?

You tell us. You know
what we're looking for.

Yes, I know.

Look, I park my car outside.
I don't have a garage.

You don't always park outside.
We know you do have a garage.

When it's not parked outside,
it's cos I'm away on business.

Instead of all this,
why don't you try and find my car?!

We know that you've got a lock-up.

I've got a lock-up now, have I?
A lock-up!

Look, I park my car at the back
of the flats, nowhere else.

We've got a witness.

Not that old bat from next door?!

No. It's a friend of yours.

What friend? I've none left
because of you crowd.

Reginald McKinney.

You must be desperate.

Reg McKinney?

You must be mad!

He contacted me when he got out
of prison. He hit me for 50 quid.

He's a known nutter!

He's been in and out of institutions
since he was a kid.

Reg McKinney - a friend of mine?!
Come on, please!

I haven't got a lock-up,
and I haven't got a garage.

If I had, my car
wouldn't have been nicked.

And that's the truth.

(OUTSIDE) Wait. I'll give you a bowl.

I want everything put back
as it was. Cups, plates, glasses.

Look at this place!

So, Terence, now you've met him
face to face, what do you think?

What do I really think?

I think if he's lying,
he's the best I've ever come across.

The best.
Yeah.

First time tonight, I've got doubts.

It's just here on the right.

So what do you think
about John Shefford?

As a suspect?

He was a crack officer.

He was also in the vicinity for
Karen, Della and Jeannie Sharp.

Yeah.

So we've got to check him out on the
two murders that just came in.

I know.

But I'm gonna say
something you won't like.

Watch it.
I know, I know.

There's only so far
I'm prepared to go with this.

I don't like this
any more than you do.

But we've got to check him out.

Just keep quiet about it.

So you pull Shefford's record sheets
first thing in the morning.

Yeah.

You've had Amson asking
for John Shefford's record sheets.

Are you that desperate, you want
to make DCI Shefford a suspect?

Sir, only Sgt Amson was... is privy
to my personal suspicions.

And until I have verification...

I'm bloody giving it to you!
Back off.

If you had any evidence against
Shefford, you should have brought it
to me.

I checked out Jeannie Sharpe.
Shefford was not the first man
at the scene of the crime.

If the body was moved,
it was done without his knowledge.

Don't harp back about the diary,
cos that's sorted, and Otley's
paid for it.

Don't try and do my job, Inspector.

Sir, two new cases.
Warrington and Southport.

One girl had bruised arms.
Marlow was in the vicinity for both.

And Shefford wasn't,

because I checked.

I'm sorry, sir,
but under the circumstances...

Under the circumstances,
I'm bringing in DCI Hickock.

Sir, you cannot replace me. Not
at this stage of the investigation.

You've got nothing.

Wasting time running around the
countryside,

trying to rake up dirt on one of the
best officers I've worked with.

You want some advice?
Put in for a transfer.

I want you off the Marlow case.

I want everything that went down
at Marlow's flat on my desk
this afternoon.

Yes, sir.

Terence! Can I have a word?

We got another one. Blackburn, 1987.
Almost one a year, apart from the
time Marlow was in jail.

Oakhill and Haskins are at Marlow's.
The rest are mustered.

What's this?

These are the blokes that are
fooling around with the toms.

They're with the Chief, then they'll
join us in the Incident Room.

Let's get started. Get as much
as we can in before lunch, eh?

Um...

..did the Chief say anything
about Shefford?

No.

But he is in the clear
on all the new cases.

He may have done a surface job
on the Jeannie Sharpe murder,

but then he wasn't DCI,
so we can't put it all down to him.

I'm glad.
Yeah.

Really, I am, even though
it's got me right in it.

Did you know that the Chief
and Shefford were like that?

They played golf together
every weekend. Not at Sunningdale.

Kernan was Shefford's guvnor
when they were on vice together.

(Oh, God...!)

Guv!

Sorry I'm late. I've been upstairs.

Can I have a bit of hush, please!

I've not exactly had the
"You've got 24 hours"...

(I've had my knuckles rapped
for off-duty leg-overs.)

(I got a result. I got a warning.)

(There's a rumour
Hickock's taking over.)

(Aw, no!)

(Hickock's taking over.
She got him off, didn't she?)

I want to go right back
to the beginning.

Just start again.

Maybe we're missing one little
thing. It'll whack us
right between the eyes.

OK. Right, Sergeant.

OK, lights.

Karen Howard.

Note the marks to her upper arms.

Look at the way the rope's
been tied around her wrists.

This is our second victim,
Della Mornay, who was killed
about six weeks prior to Karen.

Looks like the foxes
had a go at her.

But look at her upper arms.

Almost identical marks.

Now we come to Jeannie Sharpe.

We've had this photograph blown up
because you'll see...

..to the left here...

..faint, but similar marks.

And the fourth girl.
Muddyman, you ready?

Yeah. The fourth possible
victim is Angela Simpson.

Jonesy, the video.
Her family sent us this video.

The victim was found in 1986,
knifed in a local public park.

Angela was a hairdresser,
well-liked, about to get married.

George Marlow was found staying
in the vicinity...

..at a local B&B
50 yards from the park gates
and the area the body was found.

No marks to the upper arms, but...

..the way the hands are tied was
the same as in victims one and two.

(WHISPERING)
What about the rope?

You can buy it anywhere.

So there's no lead
on the rope, Sarge.

Fifth victim. Sharon Reid.

She worked part-time
at a local beauty salon.

The owner of the beauty salon
said she left on the day
of her death at 2.45pm.

She wasn't found
until 6.45pm that night.

Beans, sausage,
chips and onion rings, please.

Chicken, chips, beans.

What about the old one,
Ellen Harding?
She had the same rope marks.

Give us a few more chips!

But they've not all got clamp marks.

What've you got there ?
Look on the board!

Come on, Burkin.

Marlow was in the vicinity
of all six girls.

I've watched him for weeks.
He's a really friendly bloke.

Just cos he was in an area, doesn't
mean he's done every homicide.

Take any salesman that's done
the northern circuits,...

..you'll find a corpse, right?

The film showed there's too many
tarts being killed and no suspects.

He reckons Marlow's not our man.

He seemed like an OK bloke.
Maybe we've been wrong.

I don't think he did it.

We'll find that bastard's lock-up.
He lied about that.

TANNOY: 'DCI Tennison to the main
administration desk, please.'

Sounds like the boss has got
the big boys pullin' the rug on her.

Coffee all round?

BOTH: Lillie, coffees.

His turn anyway.
Too right.

TANNOY: 'DCI Tennison, please report
to the main administration desk.'

Well?

The Super's in with the Commander
and a red-headed bloke.

Hickock.

You're being bing-bonged
all over the station.

Am I?

Well, they're just gonna have
to find me, aren't they?

We have six victims. No set pattern,
no obvious link between them.

They're not the same ages
or in the same profession,...

..they haven't been killed
in the same manner.

(Maybe I got it wrong.)

But George Marlow
was in the vicinity for all six.

In Karen's case, a witness states
she heard a man call her name.

Same with Jeannie.
And Angela was killed in daylight.

It's some way from the shrubbery
to the path.

Unless someone called out her name
for her to come across.

The one that was raped...

Pauline Gilling.
She said she heard Marlow call
out her name. He knew her name.

So we've got two toms.

We got a hairdresser,
we got a schoolgirl.

How did he know their names,
if he knew them?

Boss,... I think...

It may be off the wall.

Listen, my love. I'm right
up against it. What have you got?

I did a bit of checking.

It all sort of falls down
with Gilling. She was the florist.

But with the others,
there is a link.

You mean with Marlow?

No, it's not to Marlow.
It's to his wife.

Can I have a bit of hush, please!

When Moyra, Marlow's common-law wife
was brought in for questioning
she put herself down as unemployed.

Quiet, please!

She was brought in
for prostitution 15 years ago but...

and this is the link,
apart from the florist lady,

on the old charge sheet
Henson stated she was
a trainee beautician, freelance.

They do hair, some work in salons,
beauty parlours.

When Moyra travelled with Marlow...

..she could've done some work,
and Marlow met the girls that way.

(Yes!) Good on ya, Maureen!

Marlow lived
in Maida Vale/Kilburn for 3 years.

Before that, they had
a council flat in Somers Town.

Marlow had the same car
for 12 years.

The brown Rover.

Did he have a lock-up
at his old address?

Those garages we're doing up -
Marlow wanted one,
but they're council-owned.

Maybe he kept the old garage.

You're wanted upstairs. You here?
No, I'm not!

Let's go get that hard-nosed cow.

No. She hasn't been here for
at least half an hour. Try the pub.

What are you lookin' at?

Don't touch me!

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. I...

I don't understand.
Don't you want me as well?

No. Not tonight, George.

She's in 4C. Everyone's ready.

Yeah? Well, I'm not.

Has the Super gone yet?
Yeah.

Wish me luck.

I'm still waiting on
that information about Karen Howard.

You asked me for some model photos
taken in the past year.

Her mother's gonna send them over.

How are we? All right?

Got everything?
Cigarettes? Lighter?

You were brought into the station
on 17 January. Is that correct?

If you say so.

And is this your statement?

Yessss.

In it you state
that you are unemployed.

Yes.

We have a statement from you
in 1975 when you were brought in
and charged with soliciting.

At that time you stated your
profession as 'trainee beautician'.

Yeah. So what?

Did you also do hairdressing?
No.

So you're not a hairdresser?

No. But I once had a Siamese cat.

So you are a freelance beautician.

Yeah. Manicures, hands, facials.

Do you use a moisturiser?

Do you work as a beautician?

Why do you want to know?
Think George is a transvestite now?

He's still under suspicion of murder.

We need answers to help us
eliminate him from our enquiries.

You just want me to incriminate him.

Would you tell me, please,
where you were on these dates?

March 15, 1984.

No ruddy idea. Ask me another.

2 January, 1985.

23 July, 1986.

9 October, 1987.
I'll have to look in my diaries.

These were dates when George
was travelling in Oldham,
Warrington, Burnley, Rochdale.

I always travel with him.

So you were with George
on those dates?

I travel with him. I stay with him.

Working freelance as a beautician?

Yeah, I do a bit.

Facials, manicures,
that sort of thing?

Yeah. There's no law against that.

But there is when you've been
claiming unemployment benefit.

Not paying tax.
There is a law against that, Moyra.

It's nothing. Just a bit of cash
in hand. Pin money.

But that's illegal, Moyra.

If you were travelling with George,
you must have regular customers.

It won't take long to find out
exactly how much you earned.

You bastards never
give anyone a break.

I'll give you one.
If you give us a detailed list
of the salons you worked in...

..and the street girls' names.

I've listed the salons, but
sometimes they don't have customers
for me. It's mostly manicures.

What's this 'Noo-Nails'?

It's American. Paint-on nails.
Your own nails grow underneath.

Look. Those look real, don't they?

Only that part of the nail -
that's false.

Did you do
Miss Pauline Gilling's nails?

I do God knows
how many women's nails.

George was sent down
for attempting to rape her.

No, no, no. And I know she lied.

She was all over him.
She'd been in the pub. She lied.

Did you do Della Mornay's nails?
No.

Take a look. Della Mornay.

I don't know her.

No?

You said George
returned home on 14 January
at 10.30 and did not go out again.

Do you still stand by that?
Yes.

So what about the car, Moyra?

The brown Rover?

Where's that car?

We know he's got a lock-up
and we'll find it.

I've answered all your questions,
now I want a lawyer!

Just think about
what I've said tonight.

I'll no doubt need to speak
to you again. Thank you. You may go.

Is that it?

I can go home now?
Yeah.

Here you are, love.

Come on, Moyra,
tell me what happened.

The bastards are gonna get me
for undeclared earnings.

They know I've been working
and claiming the dole.

They kept you all night
just for that?

There were a few other things.

What did she want?

Didn't she ask you about me?

What do you think?

What are you following
me around for?

I just want to know what went on.

They wanted to know
about that bloody florist.

Kept asking me about her.

I've stood by you, George,
but so help me God,
if I find out you've been lying...

Run that bath for me.

I've never lied to you, Moyra.

You know that.

Where's the car, George?

It's stolen.
I don't know where it is.

George, you came home
that night without it.

I remember because your hair was
wet. You said it had been raining.

Is it in a lock-up?

No.

They'll get you cos of that car.

And they can plant evidence.
They're out to get you.

What did they say?

That bath'll be running over.

What did they say?!

Maybe they've already found it.

I dunno.

I've got problems of my own.

Boss!
Yeah?

Want to see the agency's picture
of Karen Howard? Incident Room.

I'll be right with you.

Yeah.. but the Super's in there.

Karen Howard.
Look at her long red nails.

That was a week before she died.

And in this one,
taken the day she died, short nails.

Get on to it.

Jonesy, check with her flatmate
where she had those nails done.

I'm sorry, guv.
You wanted to see me?

Just a few moments.

Carry on.

Don't leave any stone unturned.

Check it out with her parents,
boyfriend, agent.

Especially you three -
Caplan, Rosper, Lillie. Move it!

And, by the way,...

..thanks, lads.

They backed you 100%,
refused to have Hickock take over.

That was on my desk when I came in.
Every single man's signed it.

Did you know about it?

No. No, I didn't.

Things have taken quite a turn,
haven't they? You were lucky.

Luck had nothing to do with it.
The lads worked really hard.

Bring me
all the new information soon.

Of course, sir.

DC Jones. We need to know if Karen
used a regular beauty parlour...

..and if she had...
what d'you call 'em?

Nail extensions.
(PHONE RINGS)

I'm not gonna harp on
about this, but...

..I appreciate your backing me up.

Suspect's on the move
with his girlfriend.

The lads reckon
something's going down.

I think this is it.
I think we've got him on the run.

Let's go for it.

She used a beauty parlour
in Covent Garden.

Frank, move it.
Keep in radio contact.

DC Jones. Do you have a client
named Karen Howard?

Haskons is following Marlow
and Henson down Marylebone Road.

They had her down for the day before
she modelled with the long nails.

They don't do those nails,
but they recommended a woman
in Covent Garden market.

Shit! We'll never get the car
in there. You'll have to jump out.

'Just get me there alive, Frank.'

Can you give me some money?
What for?

Taxis and things.

Use the cards.

I need money. All right?

Do you think I'm a bottomless pit?
Yeah, I do.

Here.

Mean bastard. Give me another 20.

RADIO: "Haskons. I'm on Marylebone
Road, beyond the underpass."

They're out of the taxi, going
down Euston Square tube station.

I'll meet you at the Garden.
In that coffee bar on the left.

And don't spend all the money.

Where d'you think you're going?

They've split up.

Taxi!

(Shit!)

I've lost him.

Taxi!

Follow the cab in front.

I'm right behind him.

Left again into Gordon Square.

Crossing towards Euston Road.

He could be going to the station.

Yeah, he's turning
into Euston Station.

I'm right behind him.

TANNOY: "The train now arriving
at Platform 13 is the delayed
7.40 Intercity from Manchester."

"We apologise for the delayed
arrival of this train."

He's leaving the station,
moving like the clappers.
I don't think he's sussed me.

No, I've lost him. Sorry.
He's on a No.18 bus.

"Try and pick him up
on the Euston Road, going east."

I've got him. I've got him.

"The bus is off to King's Cross.
You'll see him."

There are lock-ups
behind the station.

"That's the 18.
That's Jimmy behind him."

"Tony and Phil, stake out
the lock-ups behind the station."

"Harry, do the same."

He's got off the bus
and is heading for the station.

Looks like he's gonna
do a runner back up north.

No, he's passed the station.
Maybe going for a cab.

No... No, he's going
up Pancras Road.

May be going for the lock-ups.
I'm following him.

He's not hanging about, neither.

He's going in a caff.

Phil, Tony, one of you take over.

He's ordered a coffee.
He's chatting to the owner.

This girl, ever do her nails?

I couldn't say. I do up to 8 a day.

Look at it again. She was found
murdered on 15 January.

Did she ever come to this stall?

January? I wasn't here.
A friend looked after the booth.

"Moyra Henson took over a booth in
Covent Garden. Marlow hung around."

"Karen could've
had her nails done here."

That's how he knew their names.
It's the two of them, then.

Let's check back when Moyra
was arrested, see if she lied
about knowing Della Mornay.

AMSON: "Check Moyra's file
and run a cross-reference
on Della Mornay's vice records."

I think he's on the move.

The owner's given him something.
I can't see what it is.

He's leaving the caff now.

It's keys!
He's given him some keys!

He's heading towards the lock-ups.

(Get your bloody car!)

Jesus. He's stopped outside one.

"He's going for it."

Everyone wait.

"Let him use those keys.
Let him get in there."

He's got the key in the lock.

He's opening up.

He's in.
Go! Go!

George Marlow? I'm DI Muddyman,
Southampton Row Police Station.

I arrest you on suspicion of murder.

Moyra Henson? I'm DC Baker...
Leave me alone.

Moyra, I'm arresting you...

Leave us alone!

No radio between the seats.

Get Forensic here.
Don't touch anything.

Get SOCO to send someone right away.

Oh, my God!

Jesus!

Bastard.

Right. Let's get on with it.

Good luck, guv.
Thanks.

Go for it, guv.
Thanks, Archie.

Your client is here to assist
in the investigation of the murders
of Karen Howard and Della Mornay.

She is prepared to assist
in the investigations...

..in any way
that does not or will not bring
criminal proceedings against her.

You gave George Marlow an alibi,...

..saying that he came home
on January 14 at 10.30pm
and did not go out again. Correct?

You have assisted in our enquiries
before.

You were shown photographs
of murder victims. Remember?

You stated you had not met
and did not know any of the women
in the photographs.

On 14 July 1976,
you and Della Mornay were on trial
in Manchester Juvenile Court.

This January...

..Karen Howard came to a booth that
you took over from Annette Frisby
in Covent Garden.

You're not looking
at the photographs, Moyra.

You don't want to look at Della,...

..then look at Karen.

George called out to her.

He offered her a lift.

He then raped her, tortured her,
mutilated her. He killed her.

Look. Hands tied behind her back.
Look at the marks.

Look at her, Moyra!

Your client may be an accessory to
murder. Shall I list the charges?

My client agreed to assist...
Your client has lied.

As Marlow's common-law wife,
Moyra can't be forced to testify.

Get them to leave.

Just the women to stay.

I won't talk in front of them.

He did it to me once.

But I...

..I didn't like it.

He tied my...

..hands.

A leather strap.

I didn't know!

I didn't know!
God, I didn't know!

(VIOLENT RETCHING)

George Marlow did come home
at 10.30, but...

..he went out again at 10.45,...

..and she has no idea
when he returned.

(We've got him!)

(We've got him!)

Arnold!

Give us five minutes.

They're charging you
on six counts of murder, George.

I don't know what's going on,
Arnold.

On my mother's life,
I haven't done a thing.

I know.

Now, what exactly have you said?

Oh, man. You won't believe this.

Have a look. It's a mask.

(Jesus.)

There's an handbag here.
And a wallet. It's Karen Howard's.

Here's the jacket.

Cor, it stinks in here. Like
an abattoir. That sort of stench.

Graham, it's caked in blood.
Looks like dried skin.

The drain is clogged. Dried blood.

This whole area
will have to have swabs taken.

He must've used this to wash himself
Blood spatters. What have we here?

Frank?
Whatcha got?

It's been scrubbed. Smells musty.

Ah.

Your girl blonde?

(LOUD BUZZ)

This is a recorded interview.
I am DCI Jane Tennison.

Also present are
DS Terence Amson and Arnold Upcher.

We are situated in Room 5C
at Southampton Row Police Station.

The date is 8 March 1991,...

..and the time is 6.15pm.

Please state your full name,
address and date of birth.

George Arthur Marlow.
21 High Grove Estate, Kilburn.

Born in Warrington,
11 September 1951.

Do you understand
why you've been arrested?

I suppose so.

It is my duty to caution you
that anything you say
may be used in evidence.

You have been arrested
on suspicion of the murders
of Karen Howard and Della Mornay.

Do you understand?

I'm not guilty.

The night Karen Howard was murdered
you claimed you were home by 10.30.

Yes.

We took a statement at 3.45
this afternoon from Moyra Henson.

She says you actually left
the flat at 15 minutes to 11.

You then returned
without your car.

It was not stolen
from outside your flats.

It does not have a radio
between the seats.

She's wrong. My car was nicked.
I never went out again.

You denied having any previous
contact with Karen Howard.

I never met her before
she picked me up.

Miss Henson worked
in a booth at Covent Garden.

She admits she gave Karen
nail treatments and that you were
privy to them and spoke to Karen.

Is that true?

No.

You denied knowing
the second victim, Della Mornay.

But Miss Henson says, contrary
to her first statement when
she denied knowing Della Mornay,...

..that she was in fact lying.

So I suggest that you too are lying
and that you did know Della Mornay.

I don't believe you play
these games.

Moyra's terrified
you'll arrest her for tax evasion,..

..for claiming the dole.

She's terrified of the police ever
since the false prostitution charge.

'Well, you don't scare me.'

'I'm innocent.'

Did you clock the look he gave me?

"Ah, the painter."

Freaked me out.

Didn't suss you, though.

"I like him"(!)
Shut it, Kenneth.

Just give me 10 minutes with him.

They ain't gonna get nothing
out of him upstairs.

We should've smacked him
when we picked him up.

Sick bastard.

This is taking too long.

Talk about a long day.

She must be knackered.

After what we found in that lock-up,
he won't admit to knowin'
his mother.

That shower curtain.

The smell,
the stench of the place,...

..the blood on the walls.

Sick.

That wire brush.

How many of them
do you reckon he did in there?

All of the London girls.

Sick.

MARLOW: 'I told you!
I got an anonymous call.
I dunno who it was from. A man.'

He says he knows where my car is. It
was on TV, reported stolen, right?

What time was that call?
About 10 o'clock!

Anyway, he says my car's at
King's Cross, in some guy's lock-up.

But you had keys to that lock-up.

The caller said the keys were at a
coffee bar with a Greek guy.

I picked up the keys from the bar.
They weren't my keys!

I didn't find my car,
the police picked me up!

Why do I have to repeat myself?!
What was the Greek man's name?

I don't know! The caller
just told me the address!

Stavros Hulenkinis has rented that
lock-up to a John Smith for 8 years.

This morning an officer took
a statement from him.

Your friend also takes in certain
items of dry-cleaning and laundry
from you. Is that correct?

How did you get Karen into that
bedsit? Did you use Della's keys?

You knew it would be empty
because Della was already dead.

You're trying to put words
into my mouth.

I've done nothing but assist
you from the word go.
Now I want to go home.

That's impossible.
It's almost 10 o'clock and...

I wanna have a piss, all right?

I want to phone my mother.
I'm not having her reading
that you've arrested me again.

I agree to a 10-minute break.

You cannot make any calls
until this interview is terminated.

Miss Henson can call your mother.

No! They don't get on! I don't
want Moyra talking to my mother!

This is a mess, isn't it?

All right.

I did it.

Would you repeat that?

You are still under caution.

I said I did it.

Sit down please, George.

What exactly did you do?

Karen,...

..Della,...

..Angela,...

..Sharon,...

..Ellen,...

..and Jeannie.

We need to take a break.

At this point we will take a break.

The tape turn-off will be witnessed
by DS Amson and Arnold Upcher.

The time is two minutes past 10,
8 March 1991.

The aforementioned will remain
in the presence
of the recording machine...

..to enable the prisoner,
George Marlow,
to be taken to use the toilet.

Frank, Tony.

You're not gonna believe this.
He's admitted it!

(LOUD CHEERING)

Oi! What's going on?

Our guvnor has only got our suspect
to admit to six charges of murder!

Biggest case this station's had!
Scotch, please!

Hello, Maureen.
Hiya, guv.

Um.. any of those lads about?

They've all gone home.

DI Jenkins wants the Incident Room
cleared. Can you pop in?

I don't believe it!

G'night.

(ALL) # Why was she born
so beautiful?

# Why was she born at all?

# She's no bloody use to anyone

# She's no bloody use at all! #

Hip, hip,...
Hooray!

Hip, hip,...
HOORAY!

Oh, you bastards! I thought
you'd all pissed off home!

(LAUGHTER)

Yeah.. we've done it!

(SHOUTING AND CHEERING)

George Arthur Marlow,
you stand accused of
six indictments of murder.

Count one: that you did,
on 14 January 1991, murder Karen
Howard, contrary to common law.

Count two: that you unlawfully took
the life on 3 November
1990 of Della Margaret Mornay.

Count three: you are also charged
that on 15 March 1984 you murdered
Jeannie Avril Sharpe.

Count four: in January
1985 you murdered Ellen Harding.

Count five: in July 1986,
you murdered Angela Simpson.

And Count six: in October 1987
you murdered Sharon Felicity Reid.

George Arthur Marlow,...

..having heard the charges
against you, how do you plead?

Not guilty, sir.

(MURMURS)

Silence! Silence in court!
