- Was it Brannon who took Skye?
- Yes. - You know for sure?
8:05 this morning.
- Have they told you about Brannon's friend, Molly?
- I haven't had a chance to look at the intel yet.
- She and Brannon grew up in foster care together.
She was here when I interviewed Georgina.
He was using her to try and keep her quiet.
She'd be the first person he turned to.
- So, you were in the flat?
Suit up.
I want you to look around inside.
Yeah, of course.
Give Homicide whatever space they need.
This is your domino.
What? What?
Why did you send her to the crime scene?
Jesus, Tomoe.
Yeah. No. Okay. It's fine.
I'll be there in an hour. Yes. Bye.
- Are you going in? Do you want a late turn?
We're taking Anya to school. -I'm sorry.
I got a homicide on my patch and a missing kid.
I got to go.
- Why are you worried about Lizzie Adama?
- She knew the victim and the kid.
- It's funny how she attracts trouble.
She was a mistake,
for which I have said "sorry" and will go on saying "sorry"
for as long as I need to.
It is over. I promise.
Yeah, it better be.
Because if it isn't...
Because if it isn't,
I'll damage you in ways you can't even imagine.
Hey, sweetheart.
An emergency has come up, and I have to go to work.
I am so sorry.
I love you.
- All we know so far is that Brannon was out late.
He spent over an hour on a park bench, drinking,
and then he came home.
There was a fight.
Georgina's arms show defensive wounds.
He stabbed her several times.
She bled to death.
Where was Skye?
- We hope she was in her room, but we don't know.
We think he sat down, and finished the bottle,
while Georgina just lay there.
Then, he washed, changed his clothes,
got Skye and the dog, and left.
I'll show you the bedroom.
Was it this untidy before?
- No. The flat was immaculate.
Can I?
These are all Georgina's things.
- Georgina's mom? - Yeah.
Cathy, too.
What?
Did...
Did Brannon have a suitcase or a backpack?
- CCTV shows he has a small suitcase.
It was Georgina's.
She packed to leave.
Clothes for herself and Skye.
Brannon kept sky stuff, and chucked Georgina's.
- Leaving... one of the most dangerous things
a victim of domestic violence can do.
- She was in danger long before she tried to leave.
- We had a chance to save her.
- You think I don't know that? You think I don't care?
- I think you don't care enough about the law.
Instead of doing things correctly,
I think you try to be cleverer than the law.
Use the Ways and Means Act.
I bet you heard Hadley Mathews call it that.
Bit of pressure here, bit of economy with the truth there,
and suddenly the case falls apart in court.
- That's not fair. And it's not how it was.
Georgina just didn't believe she had a way out.
Not until it was too late.
Fuck's sake, Sarah.
- What's wrong, sir? - Where to bloody start?
You knew the team was knackered, and you picked up a new job.
I couldn't ignore it.
- You could ignore it, because another team,
fresh as a proverbial daisy,
would have picked it up a minute later.
Oh, is this a sneaky attempt to get yourself a nice live job?
Because let me tell you,
you're not ready to be SIO on a murder case...
Far from it.
And your own case, Tania Mills,
the one you're supposed to be running,
has now blown up a shitstorm.
What?
- Ray Walker just got beaten up.
I've had his lawyer on the phone, furious.
Who was it?
- Tania Mills' Father. - Oh, Christ.
Sir, I did warn you we'd be putting Walker - -
- Yeah, I know you warned me.
Anyway, get yourself over there.
Sort it out. I'll take over here.
- I was just about to inform next of kin.
- We'll send someone else.
Go on. Go.
- I need someone to deliver the death message to Georgina's mum.
You up for that?
Okay.
- You've got a solid partner?
Yeah. Arif.
- Normally, I'd send an FNO, but we don't have one right now,
and we need to get the news to her before the media does.
Just deliver the death message,
and stay with her till the detectives arrive.
Let them answer any questions she has.
- Got it? - Yes.
Elaine, it's me.
- I know. My phone told me.
- Tania's dad just beat up Ray Walker.
Yep.
Want to tell me something I don't know?
- Do you have results on those cameras?
What?
I actually only got them to the lab five hours ago.
- Elaine, this Walker business could turn into
a major embarrassment for the Met.
- Oh, sparing the Met embarrassment,
now that he's high on my list of priorities.
- Please call the lab. Nag them.
- You do know it's a long shot.
, lots of shoplifting,
one fraud, nothing violent.
Was on the juice big time.
Heroin.
Looks like she's off it now, though.
Nothing for the past six years.
Since Skye was born.
Does she live on her own?
- Boyfriend. Neil Slattery.
A bit of a billy burglar, but nothing recent.
Okay.
- What do you want? - Can we come in?
- Tell me what it's about first.
It's Neil, isn't it?
I'm sorry, but we really need to come inside.
What's going on?
- Kathy. I'm Lizzie. This is Arif.
Stodgy, isn't it?
Is it bad?
Yes.
I'm very sorry.
Georgina is dead.
How?
How did she die?
- Detectives will be here soon.
They'll be able to tell you more.
- He killed her, didn't he?
I mean, he... he... he was always going to.
What about Skye?
Skye is missing.
- You mean he took her?
I'm sorry.
You'll have to wait for the detectives.
But we are trying to find her right now.
Oh, my baby.
She texted me late last night, six or seven times.
She wanted to come over. She said Matt was out.
She wanted to bring Skye over.
What did you say?
- Oh, I didn't say anything
because I've forgotten to charge my bloody phone.
I know you're in there.
Open up. We need to talk.
- Do you think he wants to hurt you, Kathy?
He probably hates me.
- Control Receiving, 202.
Armed suspect trying to gain entry
to Flight 24 Martin House Decon Estate.
Two officers on scene. Request immediate backup.
Oi!
Open the door, you old bitch.
- You can't let him go. I'd rather he kill me.
- Can I get out that way? -No way. I'll go.
- Someone's got to stay, all right?
If he gets in, you're stronger than me.
I'm just gonna go outside, and keep an eye on him.
I need to borrow this.
I'm turning my radio off, okay?
I'm gonna call you on your mobile.
Keep the line open.
Mr. Mills?
Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins.
I am leading the new inquiry
into your daughter's disappearance.
- I'm not sorry for what I did.
- If it stops us from investigating Walker,
will you be sorry then?
After 25 years,
I don't have much faith in your investigations.
- Anything else? - No.
You'll be taken to the local police station.
Just call your lawyer from there.
- Detective Sergeant Collins. You took your time.
- Sorry. I came as soon as I heard.
Ray.
Sorry this happened.
Matt admitting guilt?
No.
- We will expect an admission and substantial compensation.
Revealing my client's identity was shockingly negligent,
even by the Met's standards.
- We'll arrange for Mr. Walker
to be moved to alternative accommodation.
- I don't want to move. I like it here.
This could be the gift that keeps on giving - -
come and have a free hit at the local sex offender,
courtesy of the Metropolitan Police.
- I'm sorry you got hurt.
- We've got a situation.
Brannon tried to get into Georgina's mom's flat
when Lizzie and Arif were there delivering the death message.
When he couldn't get in, Brannon legged it.
Lizzie's following him.
Jesus Christ.
She's phoning a commentary through to Arif.
Units are running.
- He's heading west on Fenton Lane.
He's just gone into the car park at the end.
- Suspect is on Fenton Lane.
SC 23. Just entered a car park.
- Want to drive over there on blues?
No. . They'll be there before we are.
- I can hear the sirens.
Tell them to turn the bloody things off.
- Will do. Stay back, Eddie.
Yeah.
Easy, now, man
- For fuck's sake, where is backup?
He's right in front of her.
- Units are running. ETA one minute.
- I just want to know Skye's okay.
- Of course Skye's okay. I love Skye.
Are you trying to turn her against me?
Just like you did with Georgina, you bitch.
It's over, Matt.
Do not move!
Stop! Police!
He's got a knife!
- Did you know that Matt Brannon
nearly killed Lizzie Adama an hour ago?
- What? - Yeah.
He turned up at Cathy Teel's flat while Lizzie was there.
She followed him. He turned on her.
If backup had arrived just a second later...
- Did they catch Brannon? -No.
And that's not the bloody point.
Did you even bother to do a risk assessment?
Yes. I did.
- Because if you did, you would realize
that Cathy Teel had an injunction against Brannon.
But you didn't even bother.
You put two officers lives at risk.
Why?
Because you're completely incompetent.
- I understand you're upset. -She could have died, Collins.
I'm gonna make sure you get a misconduct finding.
Say what you want.
I did request a risk assessment. Nothing came back.
No mention of an injunction. That is not on me.
There would have been exactly the same risk
to every other officer attending.
- Not every other officer would have had a history with Brannon.
That's on you.
- She made the decision to pursue him.
- She's brave and inexperienced. Of course she pursued him.
- When will people stop using Adama's inexperience
as an excuse for everything she does?
Christ, you're cold.
- Yeah. You said that before.
Nothing's changed.
You're here at last.
DI Shaw's just been bending my ear about a young PC.
He spoke to me, too.
He is wrong about me not doing a risk assessment.
I did one. You can check the card.
If the injunction against Brannon wasn't logged,
that is not my fault.
Okay.
But you're bloody lucky this PC...
No, she's lucky.
I told her to stay in the flat.
She's responsible for her own actions.
Christ.
Remind me not to get on your bad side.
This is why we have teams, Sarah.
A murder inquiry is intense, day after day of 18-hour days.
This is what the team had been through
when you put in for the job this morning.
When you don't have the proper resources
is when a young PC gets sent to do a job
they're not qualified for, gets put in a situation
where they do a brave thing, but a stupid thing.
If we had detectives in the flat,
we could have kept Brannon there.
We could have had him.
- I'm sorry, sir. I made a mistake.
- So, tell me about Walker.
- His injuries weren't serious,
but we'll be hearing from his solicitor.
Tania's dad, Ben Mills, was released on bail.
But I really think we should recommend to CPS
that he's charged with assault.
- No, I'll get his lawyer to squeeze
a couple of words of remorse out of him.
You give him a police caution, I'll sign it off.
The man lost his daughter, for God's sake.
I want to shut it down.
- I agree, but I don't think it will be that easy.
We've exposed Walker. He will hurt us.
- Do you like Walker for this?
For Tania?
- I didn't, but I'm beginning to.
- You'll like him even more after this.
The lab came back about the cameras.
What cameras?
- The ones she seized from Walker.
Now, the outsides have been wiped clean.
But on the inside of one, where you load the film,
three clear prints belonging to Tania Mills.
- I've got Walker on tape saying he never met Tania.
Didn't know Tania. We've got him.
We can re-arrest. We can bring him in right now.
- No. Not you. Not yet.
We're about to put the door in at Molly Daniels' place.
I need a female detective.
- Why are you putting a door in?
- What if Brannon's inside with a knife?
- What's happened? Is it Brannon?
- What were you bloody thinking?
What?
- Going alone after a man with a knife - -
a man who has already killed.
Did you not think for one second?
Yes. I did.
I was thinking about Skye.
- You could have died, Lizzie.
Then what would I do? What would I fucking do?
- Stand still! Put your hands in the air!
Do it now!
- What do you think you're doing?!
I haven't done anything. I haven't done anything!
You busted down my door.
You scared the living hell out of me.
Whatever you're after, it's not here, so get out!
And you, too, fatso.
- Thanks, lads. I'm Jim Fadden.
This is Sarah Collins. We're looking for Matt Brannon.
- Well, he's not here, is he?
- Molly, do you know what happened today, to Georgina?
- Of course I know. It's terrible.
- We know Matt's got Skye.
Obviously it's really important we find her.
So, please. Has he been here?
No.
- We'll be checking the estate CCTV, so if he was here...
- Okay, yes. Yes.
He came by this morning with Skye and the dog.
But I didn't know about Georgie,
and I didn't know anything about...
What did he tell you?
- Just said that they'd fallen out.
He was looking for somewhere else to stay.
He needed to leave Skye with me for a bit.
Went out for a couple of hours,
came back, and took them both away.
- How was Skye? - Fine.
- No injuries? - No.
No, of course no injuries.
If there were injuries, I would have said.
- Do you have any idea where Matt could be?
- No. - Who else is he close to?
No idea.
- Could you arrest Miss Daniels for assisting an offender?
What?
You fucking pigs!
- You're under arrest for assisting an offender.
You don't have to say anything, but it may harm your defense
if you do not mention when questioned
something which you later...
- I know you didn't want to nick her,
but it gives us a chance to spin her flat - -
get up on her phone, computer.
Organize a search, and go home.
By the time we've searched her and booked her in,
it'll be morning.
We'll interview, then Release her.
- Okay. - No, not you.
You're going to arrest Ray Walker.
This time, you'll crack him.
I mean it. I want you to crack him.
- Thank you for meeting me.
I know how busy you must be.
- Ben told me everything - - everything.
So, please, just tell me, is it real?
- If your ex-husband keeps behaving like an idiot,
he could destroy any chance we have of making a case.
So it is real?
- This man knew Tania? - It's possible.
Did she ever mention him?
- Ray Walker, the sex offender?
No.
But then, she never mentioned the park keeper, either.
- I must have been blind - - stupid and blind.
- Claire, you're not to blame.
- I let those predators find her,
become friends with her.
My girl.
That's the Tania I want to remember,
I insist on remembering.
But it's a lie.
She stopped playing.
"I don't love it anymore, Mom."
- She gave up the violin?
- Six weeks before she disappeared.
She was lost.
Suffering.
And I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
Hi.
You gonna be home?
I'm afraid not.
The Browning case is really kicking off.
- Right. You'll stay at the flat?
- Yeah. Yeah. Or the office.
I'll call if anything changes, okay?
Night, love.
Night.
You lie easily.
- I lie well, not easily.
Hi, Mom.
Actually, it's Dad.
Just seeing if you can make it for Susie's memorial.
- I already told Mom I can't. I'm sorry.
- A few hours. Is that too much to ask?
- You know what? Yes, it is.
I hate watching Susie's friends grow up year after year.
Their boyfriends, marriages, kids...
Everything she can't have.
I want to remember her for what she was,
not what she wasn't.
I understand.
But sometimes it's good to stop and grieve,
to count our blessings.
Work isn't everything.
- You know what my work is right now, Dad?
A missing girl.
She disappeared a year before Susie died.
So her parents haven't had a memorial.
They can't grieve.
25 years.
So, yeah, we should count our blessings.
I'm sorry. Really.
We were just hoping to see you.
Night, Pickle.
Come on.
I don't like it.
- There have been no sightings of Browning or Skye
since he slipped us yesterday.
Get out there. Talk to people.
Show his mug shot.
Keep your eyes peeled - -
not just for a man with a kid and a dog.
Look for a man with just a kid, a man on his own.
Is he even in London?
- That's the assumption, Colin. It's a city he knows.
Lizzie, Arif, the victim's mother has to ID the body.
She, Cathy Teel, has requested that you to accompany her.
So, you'll take off your uniforms.
Hey.
- Because after the ID, you're gonna take her to a hotel.
She's still at risk, so anyone with her is also at risk.
Be careful.
This man has got nothing to lose.
Dismissed.
Yes, sir.
Hey.
What are you up to?
- Going to arrest a creep called "Ray Walker."
You?
Debriefing on a chicken shop Shooting.
- I hear you're key to cracking that.
Good job.
How's your partner?
- Three kids, Husband on the job,
so works reduced hours.
Demotivated. Difficult.
Underneath it, probably good.
- Well, if it's there, you'll find it.
Yeah, maybe.
I miss working with you, Steve.
Me, too.
Sir.
So, why the sneak and creep?
- How long have you got left at Fala?
About a year.
- Trying to leave early?
- Why would I? I love it here.
Operation Perseus. Never heard of it.
- Because it hasn't started.
It's about the chicken shop shooting.
About the guy who put the gun in that kid's hand.
- Shaquille Oliver. - Yeah.
He's out of control... drugs, firearms, murder,
and now he's getting school kids to do his killing for him.
We're setting up a task force to take him down.
- Do you want to run it? - You bet I do.
So I'll ask again... how soon can you leave Fala?
Give me three months.
But I get to choose my own team on this.
- Okay? - Okay.
You'll need a good UC guy.
Steve Bradshaw.
Not happening, sir.
He doesn't like me. The feeling's mutual.
- Not everyone agrees you're the right man for this, Kieran.
They think you have baggage...
Portland Tower, Lizzie Adama.
- I'm the best man to bring Shaquille down,
and you know what, sir, I ain't got no baggage.
Prove it.
Get him to work with you.
Yeah.
- I want it on record that this second arrest
will be added to the catalog of harassment
my client has already suffered at the hands of the Met.
It's on the tape.
I watched them tape myself last night.
It was a victim's statement
from the offense Ray was convicted for.
- What's this got to do with anything?
- There's a discrepancy between how the offense is described.
"I look, I don't touch."
That's how you described it, Ray.
This is what the girl said.
- He was sort of squatting over me.
He, uh...
He said, "Say you like it."
So, I just shouted "No."
He punched me in the face.
Then, he started to masturbate.
I said...
"If I do what you want, will you let me go?"
He slapped me across the face again.
My nose was bleeding.
He just kept saying,
"Say You like it. Just say you like it."
- "I don't do violence."
That's what you said.
"It's not part of the fantasy."
But you did do violence to that girl.
If a dog walker hadn't startled you,
then who knows where that would have ended.
It was just the once.
You grabbed her,
you pulled her behind some bushes,
you knelt on her, and you slapped her.
It was just the once.
- There are those who murder
because they like inflicting pain,
and there are those who do it
because they don't want to hurt people,
but if it's necessary to get what they want,
or to avoid being caught, then, they'll do it.
That's your type, Ray.
You're a dangerous man.
You're clever, and you're manipulative, and you're a liar.
I'm not a liar.
- You said you'd never met Tania.
- Question... "And you never met Tania?"
Answer... "No."
Question... "You never spoke to her?"
Answer... "No."
- I spoke to Tania's mother last night.
She says Tania attended photography classes
at the Lee College of Further Education.
Did you ever go there?
Before you lie again, we know that you did.
You worked there as a technician.
- We've already established that my client
lived near Tania in the '90's.
This means nothing.
Not quite nothing.
- This is a photograph of the Pontix PTL4
seized from your flat.
- Until we know the nature of whatever it is you have,
I'm advising my client to reply "no comment"
to all your questions.
- The same camera, with the back open.
It's been swabbed for prints.
These are the prints lifted from inside.
These are Tania's prints.
They match.
- All this is highly circumstantial.
- I'll stop you there, if I may.
Ray, we have a place where you and Tania would have met.
We have one of your cameras with Tania's prints on it.
We have a witness statement
saying you fantasized about sex acts with Tania.
And we have a girl who says he used violence
to achieve sexual gratification.
You knew Tania. She trusted you.
You did what you wanted to her. And then, you killed her.
- I did not kill her. - You had to.
How else would you get away with what you've done?
Where is she, Ray?
Where's Tania?
- I want to stop this interview.
- So Walker admitted he knew Tania.
All in his statement.
- Well, go on. Give me the details.
- Tania came around to Walker's flat
the morning. She disappeared.
She was wearing a skirt and jacket,
so she'd already been to Robert McCarthy's, and changed.
Walker said she seemed in a funny mood,
kind of distracted, angry.
- She'd been to the flat before?
Yep.
He taught her about cameras and film.
Sometimes, she posed for him.
- Arty shots, he said - - raindrops on windows,
beautiful teenager, et cetera.
So what happened?
- Walker says she asked for a phone book.
Then, she lay on the floor, and looked through it.
That's when he did take photographs off her - -
Tania in a skirt, lying on the floor.
What next?
- He says she ripped a page out of the phone book, and left.
- What, and that's it. - Yep.
He says that's the last time he saw her,
and he never touched her.
Bollocks.
Well, that's more than enough for CPS to charge.
You've done it. You've cracked.
Well bloody done.
Oh, come on, Sarah. Enjoy the victory.
- I'd like to. I really would.
But what if he's telling the truth?
Think about Tania's behavior...
She leaves home wearing a skirt, looking... well...
looking sexy.
Mum makes her change.
She then goes to McCarthy's,
and changes back into the skirt.
Next stop should have been her friend's place,
but she doesn't show.
Instead, she goes to Walker's flat, and she seems angry.
She gets an address out of the phone book, and leaves.
What that tells me is that she expected to meet someone,
and he let her down, so she went looking for him.
- She did meet someone - - Ray Walker.
- And even if there was someone else,
doesn't mean Walker didn't kill her.
She was right there in his power.
- Send it to CPS, Sarah. -Oh, not just yet.
We've got to get to the mortuary.
Georgina's mum's coming in to ID the body.
Cathy.
I'm Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins.
- This is... - I'm Elaine.
I'm a detective, but mainly I'm a mother.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Georgie.
It's all right.
Find him.
IS it okay?
Okay?
It's like Las Vegas.
Except it's Bromley.
- All right, Dreamkiller, let's go get the cases.
- What would I give for a fix?
Oh, don't worry. Those days are long gone.
You know that I was a junkie, right?
You'd have seen it in my file?
Yeah.
- Did you know that Georgie was born addicted, too?
I didn't.
- They took her from me, weaned her off it.
I got her back, though.
My little angel.
Cathy, do you mind?
No.
How did she meet Brannon?
- She was 17 when she left school
and got her first job in a phone shop.
And guess what?
One day, Brannon walks in to buy a phone.
Soon, it was "Matt this" and "Matt that."
"He's neat, respectable. He pays for everything."
And then, they're gonna be living together.
And finally, I get to meet him.
I had to clean up my act.
"No smoking around Matt, Mom.
No, he doesn't like it."
So, I hid the ashtrays, covered up the junk tattoos.
And then, in walks this wide boy,
this big "I am."
And it was like...
all my sins had come back to haunt me.
Because I knew him.
From my junkie days, I fucking knew him.
He was a dealer?
No.
- I'll say that for him - - he despised drugs.
But he worked for the Young family.
He was the violence behind the drugs,
when he wasn't nicking cars.
And when I was low... Lower than low,
I was begging and stealing,
I used to see him around.
Always neat and shiny, like shit couldn't touch him.
- Did you ever say anything to Georgina?
I tried, but the look she gave me made it clear...
The life I'd led, I didn't have a right to talk.
And then, she had this guy.
And then, he started hitting her.
What's up?
- I just left Cathy Teel at the hotel.
Okay.
- She knew Brannon from her junkie days,
before he met Georgina.
She knew where he used to hang out
when he was working for the Young family.
So, I was thinking that she might be an intelligence source
for places Brannon might be hiding out in.
If detectives wanted to question her...
DS Collins?
- It's a good thought. I'll pass it on.
Okay. Bye.
- Georgie was perfect. She was my perfect woman.
All I ever wanted was to be with her.
You know, for years, it was... it was my family.
It was me, Georgie, and little Skye.
And now, Skye's all I got left.
I'll never give her up.
Never.
Sarah.
Elaine's pal, Archie, just called.
She asked him to check on a green Jag.
- Yeah. And? - And not a lot.
No one in Tania's family or their friend's family has a Jag,
let alone a green one.
But there was one hit.
It was a teacher at Tania's school...
Adrian Stevenson.
What did he teach?
Music.
Violin.
- He's got an MBE, no less.
He's a good-looking man.
What was the name of Tania's school?
Did you know her well?
- I remember her well. I never taught her.
I still find it unbearably sad.
Shall we?
- Can you tell me about Adrian Stevenson?
- Tell me why you want to know.
- Some new information has come in.
Before I talk to him, I'd like to know a bit more about him.
- He was a brilliant teacher.
He took our choir and orchestra to great heights.
- He left soon after Tania disappeared.
Coincidence?
I mean, he was always ambitious.
He wanted Rodin or Saint Mary's Ascot,
not our little school.
I mean, look at him now...
MBE, guest conductor with major orchestras.
- Was there any talk of him being...
involved with any of his students?
- Is this your new information? -Was there any talk?
None.
He was married at the time, to a young and very pretty wife.
- Do you have anything else on Tania?
Photos, for example.
I'm trying to get a sense of her, too.
There she is.
Stevenson.
- As I said, a brilliant teacher.
What was this?
- The school decided to mark Tania's passing.
A gift to the community.
The Princess Diana Memorial Garden.
- Stevenson was involved?
- It was his idea... Which was odd,
because he never really thought about anybody but himself.
- So, three days after Tania went missing,
Stevenson dug up the local park?
- Breaking news...
A video posted on social media late last night
by suspected murderer Matt Brannon has gone viral.
- I had everything... Everything.
I had love.
I had a family.
And then, the police took that away from me.
If it weren't for them, Georgie'd still alive.
This isn't over.
Believe me.
