Waking the Dead (2000) s07e08 Episode Script
Skin: Part 2
These wounds weren't incurred by the fall.
He was beaten in some way before he was put down the shaft.
This is a Jewish gay guy, Sam Cohen, who ends up as a neo-Nazi skinhead, George Andrews.
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! The elections are pretty serious, OK, we're fighting a war here.
Not me.
Did he touch you?! You can't tell me what to do! These men are not just a group of thugs.
They're thugs with a cause.
You got some Jew blood in you somewhere? What you did was completely unacceptable.
George had a tattoo.
They all had that tattoo, all the crew.
Jim Brown was brought in for questioning over the St Jerome's Hospice fire, New Year's Day, 1990.
If half the street see you getting arrested, if the press run a story, before we know it we'll lose floating voters.
Well, we'll just have to get the floating voters back, won't we? Martin! You OK? You? Not really.
I-I take it you know? Yeah.
And whatever you do next, Luke, it's your call.
So you don't mind having a junkie for a son? Yeah, yeah, course I do.
Well what I mean is, er I'd rather have you in this world any way I can than not have you PHONE I'm sorry.
Yes? Yeah, I I willI will.
Sorry.
No, go do your thing.
No, it's all right, I'm not going.
I'm fine.
I'll be here.
Good.
OK? I'll be back.
I'll see you, son.
Yeah, it was very basic, made from over-the-counter ingredients.
Schoolboy bomb? Depends what school you went to.
It had a rudimentary timing device made from an alarm clock.
Something a kid could've put together? Anyone could've put it together.
The instructions are on the internet.
The interesting thing is that it was designed to do as little damage as possible.
All flash, no crash? Yeah, no nails, no glass.
So, as far as assassination attempts go, this was a pretty poor one.
Very poor.
Let me go.
Please.
I won't say anything.
I won't tell them you You're not such a cocky wee shite now, are you? No, no, no.
Making that kid do a martyr video was a big mistake.
I want the situation resolved, now.
That kid is going to win us the election, trust me.
Come on, Martin.
When have I ever let you down? We're in this together.
Yeah.
Course we are.
My name is Selim Said, a proud Muslim youth.
For too long, we have been asleep, but now we are awake.
It's time for the British jihad to begin.
We must rise up and defeat the infidels.
Special Branch reckon the bomb only caused had a few cuts and bruises, so why go to all this trouble for a martyr video? I have the file on the hospice fire.
Jim Brown, Peter Evans, Terry Wilson and Martin Armstrong were questioned about it.
THE Martin Armstrong? Yeah.
They were released without charges and Marie Waters gave their alibi.
There are people in our community living among us, yet refusing to take part in our society, refusing to understand what it means to be British, undermining our way of life and our democracy.
And we can't afford to let them win.
There's too much at stake - everything about our country that makes it great.
And here we are, the victims of terrorism, and where are the police? Governments talk about a war on terror, but the truth is, they haven't got the stomach for it.
If you want to fight a war, you have to meet them on their own terms and fight fire with fire.
Detective Superintendent Boyd, I'm glad to say there's no permanent damage.
Have you got any leads? It was obviously an assassination attempt.
You can't blame anyone for that, but I can put you in touch with the local DIY centre.
If this was a mosque, your lot'd be crawling all over it.
Yeah, well I'm here to talk to you about the St Jerome's Hospice fire.
That's something that you've been questioned about already, yeah? What wonderful timing! You want to talk to me about a 17-year-old case, a case I was cleared of, in the middle of a campaign, a campaign to elect me to Parliament I think we can all see what this is really about.
Well, I hope they can.
It's pretty evident.
You don't have to live around here, you don't see what ordinary, decent people have to put up with - our streets overrun with terrorism and junkies.
Perhaps you should put your own house in order, Mr Boyd.
We're not finished.
I know that.
Come on, let's move on.
We must rise up and defeat the infidels.
He's very nervous.
Or fired up.
He's about to plant a bomb.
But usually these martyr videos are by suicide bombers - this guy hasn't been placed at the bomb site, has he? And there's nothing about him in the prelim reports.
So what if? Right, Martin Armstrong top of the board.
You got a problem with that? How did he get there? I put him there.
This man is a fascist, he has no qualms You can't make him a suspect because you don't like his politics! Let me reason with you.
He is the leader of this group, right? Terry Wilson, Peter Evans, Jim Brown.
They were all questioned about the hospice fire in 1990? Yeah.
Right, now, being the leader, right, the head of the whole group in your discussions with Marie, not once did she mention Martin Armstrong, right? Agreed.
Neither did Jim Brown.
OK, that sounds great, but what makes him your chief suspect? Can't you see they're protecting him? The guy's standing in the election - maybe they're just trying to avoid bad press.
And what's the worst possible press a political party could have? It would be That they were responsible for the The hospice fire, right, so Sam goes in there, he discovers what happened and then they kill him, they get rid of him.
But he was there for six months.
It takes time to infiltrate.
Come on, back me up here, Grace.
Well, he would have had to prove himself to the group.
Which he did by attacking Rashid.
I think the priest did it.
And it's not like he hasn't got motive.
Why would the priest wait a year to kill him? Come on, why? Get me Jim Brown and Marie Waters in here.
On what grounds? If you get them, then you get Martin Armstrong in here.
The stones from the graveyard are a match to the stones in Sam's shoe.
I told you the priest did it.
Grace thinks there's a word in the flames.
Really? It just looks like a few squiggles to me.
Ah, but then you see, so do some letters in the Syriac alphabets.
Languages like Hebrew.
It has to mean something.
For the whole group? Or maybe just for Sam.
I mean, why didn't he have the flames on his own tattoo? I can prove that Sam visited your graveyard around the time that he died.
II can't explain that.
OK, what were you doing the first anniversary of your brother's death, what were you doing? Were you in the church? Were you down the pub? I was just praying for Charlie's soul.
You were praying for the soul of the man that you loved.
Now what do you think the other man was doing that loved him? Did you think he perhaps thought, on this first anniversary, "I'll go to the church, pay my respects, sit by his grave?" Come on, this is not a difficult question.
Did you see or hear anybody at the graveyard that night? I heard a banging on the door.
I opened it.
There was no-one there.
And then I saw that the flowers on Charlie's grave had been thrown all over the ground.
And you didn't think, perhaps, that you should've told anybody about this until now? Nothing else had been disturbed.
I just assumed that it was vandals.
This is your brother we're talking about Sir, could I have a word? What? I need to talk to you.
All right.
You made that assumption? On that night, of all nights, you make the assumption that it's vandals? It happens a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
You have no more questions? I have a lot of questions for you.
But no more until you start telling me the truth.
So you'd better seek some guidance from the Lord.
Yeah? It's Mr Said he's here.
He wants to talk to you.
In connection with? He didn't say, he's very upset.
Yeah? Who isn't? You deal with him.
Mr Boyd.
Mr Said.
It doesn't make any sense.
My son You have to find him.
I'm sorry but I, I You do know he's innocent, don't you? He is my son.
Don't you understand? It doesn't make any difference what he's done, he's still my child.
Er Come on in.
Sometimes our kids, they make their own decisions.
You have a son, do you? Yeah, I do have a son, yes.
And would he kill innocent people? I don't know, I mean, I don't think parents know that.
Well, I do know in my heart, Selim wouldn't do such a thing.
Natalie! Selim never planted that bomb.
This is all your fault.
Filling him with hate.
And what would you know? Are you satisfied? Mum, please.
We were going to run away, me and Selim.
He was sick of it and so was I.
What stopped you running away? My dad.
He found out about us and he came round.
I want to have a word with you, all right? Can you get out, please? Just come with me for a minute, will you? When you left your father's, did you see Selim? He wasn't even answering his phone.
And what about his friends? Did you talk to any of them? Well, he's been hanging around with Hassan, his best friend, and that's how this all started them messing around with those stupid election posters.
OK.
Where are you going? Come on.
I'm saying nothing till my brief gets here.
Spence, I need a word.
Come on.
His master's voice.
What's happening? OK.
He's found out about her and Selim.
So I need you to get Terry Wilson, Peter Evans off the street.
Yeah, but They're going to put that kid in intensive care.
How do you know that? So why did you decide to run off with Selim now? Are you pregnant? Yeah.
How far gone are you? Two months, I think.
You think I'm a slag.
No, I don't think you're a slag, not at all.
I think you've got something to live for, something to protect.
He used to call me his princess.
He gave me anything I wanted.
I want you to go in there and face him.
Will you do that for me? No If you go in there and face him, he won't lay a hand on you ever again.
Do you believe me? What's she doing here? She wants to know what you've done with Selim.
Oh, babe.
Nat D-Dad.
Why? That way we we stay pure.
You're my daughter.
You should've thought of that when you hit her.
You know the score.
Charge me or let me go.
She's at risk.
You're not going anywhere.
Tell him, Nat.
Tell him he's talking rubbish.
I want to press charges.
And how long do you think that'll hold up? Long enough for us to find Selim and get you for kidnapping and assault.
What have you done with him? I love him, Dad.
What have you done with the boy? Slag.
You mean that's it? No, you have to find out, make him tell you! It's not that simple.
You did.
But the best thing you can do for Selim is to go home.
Sir, Sam Cohen's file.
Sorry, it took a while to track down.
Thank you.
Uniforms are searching the estate for Evans and Wilson, nothing yet.
Armstrong? He's coming in.
Put him in Interview 2.
Keep him away from Brown, all right? Grace! Yes? Sam Cohen was diagnosed HIV positive 1988.
I know that Jim Brown has full-blown AIDS, so is she the missing link? Was Sam bisexual or? She insists that the relationship was emotional not physical but, um I'll certainly talk to her.
What did she say about Armstrong? That they were friends but they haven't seen each other for years, and he wasn't at the New Year's Eve party.
But then, after the hospice fire, he did go away to college to study and seemed to distance himself from Jim and the gang.
It didn't work, they're still involved in each other's lives.
Yeah, well, maybe they need to be.
My name is Selim Said, a proud Muslim youth.
It's a piston-driven engine, rather than a turbo, something like a Lycoming or a Continental Light So, we're not talking about an international airfield, then No, it's a small airfield.
Right.
You hear that? The variation? There? There's a change in propeller pitch.
Can you hear? So it's coming in to land? It's coming in to land, yeah.
So this could be near a landing strip, is that it? I'd say so.
There you go, wee man.
You just sit tight.
The most likely airfield is this one here, in east London.
Why east London? Because it's near to where they live.
What are those two buildings there? Yes? They look like the most likely contenders.
Hi, yes.
No, I have every intention of That's a hangar.
Right, and the other one? Yeah An old biscuit factory.
Please, you've got to understand that I have a job to do.
Tell Luke I'll be there as soon as I can.
Yeah.
I'll tell him.
Yeah.
What kind of biscuit factory? I don't know.
Well, find out.
Why? Because I found almond oil on Sam's jeans.
Come on! Heathson's Biscuits.
Almond Crunch.
Almond Crunch.
Armed police! On the ground, now! Move! Move! Hands on your head! Behind your back! Come on! Up! On your feet! Are you OK? It's over.
Look at me.
Look at me.
It's over.
It's over.
All right.
You all right? Understand? You're all right.
Just take it easy, just take it easy.
Thank you.
He's OK.
Yes, thank you.
He's OK.
Thank you.
OK, thank you.
They're taking him to hospital.
I've arranged a car.
I'd like you to stay here, Marie.
I'm going to go with my daughter.
No.
What do you mean? I mean, we have things to discuss.
Like to sit down? You seem very close to Natalie.
I used to be.
Jim turned her against me.
Ten years he didn't give me so much as a few quid to help out.
What changed his attitude? Realised he was dying.
Ah.
When did he contract HIV? They're not sure.
He found out a few years back, when he had a problem with his lungs.
And do you know how he came to be infected with it? He thinks he got it from me, but he didn't.
So, you're not infected? That's the one bit of luck I had.
The doctors reckon that he'd had it for years, without knowing.
He's lived longer than we expected him to.
Which is really unfair.
In what way? Because George is dead and Jim's still alive.
Were you in love with George? I never met anyone like him.
And yet you weren't intimate with each other? No.
Never? There was once.
The night I told him I was pregnant.
I didn't know.
I never meant to hurt you or the baby.
What are you talking about? You've got to believe me, I'm so sorry.
Why do you think he was so upset? I've never worked it out.
Can I have a word with you, please? You're not going to believe what those people have done to Selim.
Does she know what she's dealing with? She's still defending them? She could be telling the truth.
Don't give me that.
Well, we do not know for sure that Jim and his gang set fire to the hospice, nor do we know that's why George became Sam.
What does she have to say about that? I haven't got there yet.
You haven't asked her? I'm trying to do my job, You interrupted me in the middle of my interview.
.
.
will you please do yours? Yes.
See him? See him? See him? Poof! D'you swallow it? 'I'm very sorry.
' But you had to be told who George really was and why he was there.
He'd have said something to me.
He was my friend.
But do you understand why he had to do it? Yes.
So, is it true? The alibi you gave them.
Were Jim and the others in your flat the night of the hospice fire? Mr Armstrong.
This is ridiculous.
How much longer We're keeping your clients in custody.
We're charging them with kidnapping and terrorism.
We found the boy alive.
So there's absolutely no reason for me to be here.
Well I'll see you at the bail hearing.
Mr Armstrong, would you mind taking a seat, please? What do you mean? I mean, would you mind taking a seat? Thank you.
Thank you.
Now, I'm reopening the investigation intoPlease.
The investigation into the hospice fire.
There isn't a scrap of evidence to connect me to that crime.
I'm not suggesting there is at the moment.
Please, hear me out.
I've got your client, Jim Brown.
And you understand that I've got him for 12 hours? I'm sorry, I'm really puzzled by your involvement with this man.
Why? Well, he's in deep shit this time.
We've got him for kidnapping, assault, bombing your office - I can't help but think that your association with him is going to be damaging to your political career.
If it could be proved that he did any of this, then of course it can also be proved that I had absolutely no knowledge of it.
Yeah, but for me to prove that, you'd have to be willing to testify against your client and Well, if the evidence was irrefutable, of course I would.
You would be willing to testify against your client, Jim Brown? Of course.
Thank you.
Eve.
Keys, watch, wallet, Walkman.
That's good.
Bag it up.
OK.
It's just completely unbelievable - every one of these people has AIDS.
Peter Evans, Terry Wilson, Sam Cohen, and Jim Brown, they've all got AIDS.
Even if they're having sex with the same person, that is impossible the hit rate 100%.
I need to talk to you right now.
OK.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What I'm saying is what are the chances of getting HIV from an infected tattoo needle? And I'm saying they're really, really remote.
But you can get it from sharing needles, can't you? Yeah, but it's a different kind of needle.
Intravenous drug users use a hollow needle so the blood stays in the needle, and if it's passed on You can get infected! Yeah, but a tattoo needle's not like that - it's not hollow, it's different.
It's contained within a chamber and it moves back and forth, and it acts as an ink reservoir.
OK, but if the equipment wasn't sterilised and there was some contaminated blood that remained in the tubing Yeah, if there was some contaminated blood that remained in the tubing, then possibly So you can get HIV from a tattoo! What? Four times? No, the primary mode of transmission between males is unprotected anal intercourse, or heterosexually.
Yeah, but that's the impossibility of odds again.
You've got to admit, it's a perfect irony.
They burn down an AIDS hospice and they all end up getting it.
Let's show him.
Boyd, let us show you this.
Uh-huh.
OK.
See these? Right, I thought they might be Hebrew.
And they are.
"Shin", "Resh", "Vav", "Feh" it spells "Srohf".
It means "burn".
"Burn".
Burn.
As in "Burn in hell".
"Burn in hell".
I have to ask you, did Did Sam Cohen give Peter Evans and Terry Wilson the phoenix tattoo? He did one for all of them.
All done.
What do you think? It's beautiful, George.
Nice one, son.
It's a work of art, mate.
Should be framed.
Here.
Come on.
I think it's the equivalent of being a mass-murderer.
They had killed his lover.
It doesn't make it right.
It's twisted, but it makes sense.
Do you know how many people have contracted HIV because of him? Yes! How long does it take for people to realise they have HIV? It can take up to ten years.
Ten years.
Ten years' worth of sex that's like sentencing hundreds of people to death! He wasn't thinking about the consequences.
His revenge was tied up with his love of Charlie.
In his mind, he had no alternative.
Knowingly infecting someone with contaminated blood is a criminal offence.
The thing that it doesn't explain You're crazy to try and justify this.
I am not justifying it.
The thing none of this explains is, once he'd done the tattoos, why didn't he just get out of there? Maybe he didn't get the chance.
Or maybe something happened where he was forced to reveal his identity.
Maybe there was still a member of the original crew that he hadn't managed to get to.
Armstrong.
I need to be with Natalie.
Does Martin Armstrong have one of those tattoos? What? The tattoos that Sam gave the other guys does Armstrong have one of those? I don't know.
I was never that involved with them.
Thinking that helps you sleep at night? You see, I don't think you can be just a bit of a Nazi.
Looking good there, Marie.
Who's this? This is George.
What's with the new tattoos? Celebration.
First anniversary.
Oh, yeah.
Bonfire of the Queers? You should have one.
Well, you were there.
I could do you next, if you like.
No, Martin stays clean.
Political wing.
Isn't that right, Martin? Yeah.
Give him one.
No.
He wasnae there.
You're one of us now, aren't you? "Loyalty unto death" and all that.
They sent Sam Cohen to hell before he died.
Did you get it? In here.
Bastard.
Lying, thieving bastard.
First he was kicked a number of times in the head and the body.
That's enough.
Where is it? What have you done with it? Where is it? Then he was bound to a chair you can see the marks here, and here.
At some point, this wallet was removed.
I found Sam Cohen's blood on it.
And, on the inside, a perfectly-preserved thumbprint belonging to Jim Brown.
Can you prove that this is Sam's wallet? Well, let me show you this.
As you can see, on the photograph there is a very distinct pattern of fading where the light has affected it.
Certain abnormalities, irregularities in the leather and a small paint spot here on the transparent sheet, all showing a distinct pattern which matches perfectly.
Who's this? His name's Charlie Ayanike, and he's my lover.
He's the one you burnt.
They used a bottle like this, with a foil collar, to ram the piece of the photograph down his gullet.
His arms were bound with wire Finally they put a rope around his neck indications here and here, and hoisted him up to the ceiling with the pulley.
The Blood Pattern Analysis over here shows a percussive blood staining which indicates to me that he was left hanging and bleeding.
For how long? Hours.
I know how you killed Sam Cohen.
Who? Sam Cohen.
George Andrews.
He was, in fact, a man called Sam Cohen.
Jew-boy.
Yes, a Jew and a homosexual.
So, send me down for it.
I serve a cause, something you wouldn't understand.
No.
But I know what you did to this man.
You tortured him for three hours, you choked him, crucified him.
But why didn't you burn him? Why didn't you just send him up in smoke like you did with Charlie Ayanike? You wanted something from it, something it wouldn't give you.
Was Martin Armstrong there that night? If you think I'm going to give you Martin Armstrong, then you don't understand the master plan.
The Master Plan, White Supremacy, the Aryan Legion.
Do you think you're the kind of people who have loyalty to each other? You're like rats, hatred doesn't bind, it eats away, it destroys - listen to this.
"I have absolutely no knowledge of it.
" "But in order for me to prove that you'd have to be willing to testify against your client and" "If the evidence was irrefutable, of course I would.
" "You would be willing to testify against your client, Jim Brown?" "Of course.
" Are you completely stupid? He's sold you down the line.
Your daughter has sold you down the line.
What do you want to be, the sole martyr to the cause? Sounds nice.
There was a tape.
There was a tape? Look, look, look.
There they go, there they go.
See him, see him, see him.
Poof! D'you swallow it? Oh, look, oh, look, look, look.
He can't get out.
Ooh, he can't get out.
Who are you waving at, eh? Who are you waving at? He's washing the windows.
He ain't comin' out.
Here he goes, look.
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Yeah! Come on! Nice one, or what? Sieg heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Come on! George, we've finished! George? George? Terry.
Terry! How come you didn't burn it off, once you knew about Sam? It was bigger, deeper than that.
Did you know that there were Hebrew letters here, hidden in the flames? Did you? There, you see them? These letters here, they spell the word "Srohf" which, in Hebrew, means "burn".
As in "burn in hell".
You see Sam Cohen had AIDS and he put his blood in the tattoo ink.
So, when you're choking on your last breath, just remember, that it was Sam Cohen who killed you.
Would you like a glass of water? Marie, we know Sam had the tape.
If we find that tape, we've got them all.
Please, Marie.
You went to the police originally, it must've been you.
Because you wanted some kind of justice for Sam.
You help me find the tape, I promise you I promise you, you will get that justice.
I told him.
Told who? Told him George was in the church.
But who did you tell? Jim? Martin.
I told Martin.
Where is he? Tell me.
No! Tell me.
Tell me! We're gonna find him, we're gonna get the tape, and then we're gonna kill him.
So if you don't want the same thing to happen to your baby, tell me where he is! Church.
St Saviour's.
Good girl.
You're free to go.
I said you're free to go.
I need to confess.
Not to me.
I saw Sam that night.
I failed Sam.
Yeah.
Are you sure that it was Charlie's grave? Is that it? Yup.
You've got 2 minutes 23 seconds of a man burning to death.
Exactly.
And someone holding a camera filming it.
How can you do that? I don't think Sam was killed because of this tape.
I think he was killed because of the betrayal.
There's nothing incriminating on it.
No, we've got nothing.
Well, there may be more information on it - I've got to go through it frame by frame.
Well, best of luck, Eve.
I don't envy you your job.
Thanks.
OK.
See you inside, Martin.
Is that enough? Yeah.
It'll do, yeah.
It'll do.
Can he see me? No.
He'll find a way out of this.
He always does.
Well, if that's your evidence I mean, it could be me it could be Martin Bormann.
I'll see you in court, Detective.
You will.
Just wait a minute, would you please? Marie, please.
I hope you're not going to keep this woman long.
She's got a young daughter, you know.
I won't, but I think you'd like to hear what she has to say.
According to your statement, Marie, on the night of the St Jerome's Hospice fire, Martin Armstrong was in your flat playing cards, all night, with Jim Brown, Terry Wilson, Peter Evans.
Is that correct? I lied.
So you are retracting this statement? Yes.
You need a lawyer.
Bastard! Dirty, thieving bastard! That's enough.
Where is it? TV: "I think we can go over there straight away.
" I have no comment to make at this present time, but I will be making a statement in due course.
Sir? See you tomorrow, Stella.
OK.
I'm going into oblivion, and if I've had any effect on the world, you know, in some tiny way improved it, that was for the world's sake.
Wherever you go, I go.
Eventually.
I'll wait for you.
You'd better.
So you're going? Looks like it.
We're not finished.
Yeah, but you've worked out my problem.
Poor little middle-class boy, not loved enough by his nasty dad.
Don't do this.
I'm going.
To where? To do what? To start my new, improved life.
You should be happy.
It turns out you're not such a crap shrink after all.
Why is it locked? Because this is a secure wing.
I'm? You're on a committal order.
But to do that you'd have to have Your father's consent.
Yeah? Hello.
Dad, you can't lock me up again.
Hi, son.
Er, no, I know.
I know that.
Just let me go, please.
Well Yeah, I-I will, but Look please don't disappear, will you? You will stay in touch, yeah? Yeah, I will.
He was beaten in some way before he was put down the shaft.
This is a Jewish gay guy, Sam Cohen, who ends up as a neo-Nazi skinhead, George Andrews.
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! The elections are pretty serious, OK, we're fighting a war here.
Not me.
Did he touch you?! You can't tell me what to do! These men are not just a group of thugs.
They're thugs with a cause.
You got some Jew blood in you somewhere? What you did was completely unacceptable.
George had a tattoo.
They all had that tattoo, all the crew.
Jim Brown was brought in for questioning over the St Jerome's Hospice fire, New Year's Day, 1990.
If half the street see you getting arrested, if the press run a story, before we know it we'll lose floating voters.
Well, we'll just have to get the floating voters back, won't we? Martin! You OK? You? Not really.
I-I take it you know? Yeah.
And whatever you do next, Luke, it's your call.
So you don't mind having a junkie for a son? Yeah, yeah, course I do.
Well what I mean is, er I'd rather have you in this world any way I can than not have you PHONE I'm sorry.
Yes? Yeah, I I willI will.
Sorry.
No, go do your thing.
No, it's all right, I'm not going.
I'm fine.
I'll be here.
Good.
OK? I'll be back.
I'll see you, son.
Yeah, it was very basic, made from over-the-counter ingredients.
Schoolboy bomb? Depends what school you went to.
It had a rudimentary timing device made from an alarm clock.
Something a kid could've put together? Anyone could've put it together.
The instructions are on the internet.
The interesting thing is that it was designed to do as little damage as possible.
All flash, no crash? Yeah, no nails, no glass.
So, as far as assassination attempts go, this was a pretty poor one.
Very poor.
Let me go.
Please.
I won't say anything.
I won't tell them you You're not such a cocky wee shite now, are you? No, no, no.
Making that kid do a martyr video was a big mistake.
I want the situation resolved, now.
That kid is going to win us the election, trust me.
Come on, Martin.
When have I ever let you down? We're in this together.
Yeah.
Course we are.
My name is Selim Said, a proud Muslim youth.
For too long, we have been asleep, but now we are awake.
It's time for the British jihad to begin.
We must rise up and defeat the infidels.
Special Branch reckon the bomb only caused had a few cuts and bruises, so why go to all this trouble for a martyr video? I have the file on the hospice fire.
Jim Brown, Peter Evans, Terry Wilson and Martin Armstrong were questioned about it.
THE Martin Armstrong? Yeah.
They were released without charges and Marie Waters gave their alibi.
There are people in our community living among us, yet refusing to take part in our society, refusing to understand what it means to be British, undermining our way of life and our democracy.
And we can't afford to let them win.
There's too much at stake - everything about our country that makes it great.
And here we are, the victims of terrorism, and where are the police? Governments talk about a war on terror, but the truth is, they haven't got the stomach for it.
If you want to fight a war, you have to meet them on their own terms and fight fire with fire.
Detective Superintendent Boyd, I'm glad to say there's no permanent damage.
Have you got any leads? It was obviously an assassination attempt.
You can't blame anyone for that, but I can put you in touch with the local DIY centre.
If this was a mosque, your lot'd be crawling all over it.
Yeah, well I'm here to talk to you about the St Jerome's Hospice fire.
That's something that you've been questioned about already, yeah? What wonderful timing! You want to talk to me about a 17-year-old case, a case I was cleared of, in the middle of a campaign, a campaign to elect me to Parliament I think we can all see what this is really about.
Well, I hope they can.
It's pretty evident.
You don't have to live around here, you don't see what ordinary, decent people have to put up with - our streets overrun with terrorism and junkies.
Perhaps you should put your own house in order, Mr Boyd.
We're not finished.
I know that.
Come on, let's move on.
We must rise up and defeat the infidels.
He's very nervous.
Or fired up.
He's about to plant a bomb.
But usually these martyr videos are by suicide bombers - this guy hasn't been placed at the bomb site, has he? And there's nothing about him in the prelim reports.
So what if? Right, Martin Armstrong top of the board.
You got a problem with that? How did he get there? I put him there.
This man is a fascist, he has no qualms You can't make him a suspect because you don't like his politics! Let me reason with you.
He is the leader of this group, right? Terry Wilson, Peter Evans, Jim Brown.
They were all questioned about the hospice fire in 1990? Yeah.
Right, now, being the leader, right, the head of the whole group in your discussions with Marie, not once did she mention Martin Armstrong, right? Agreed.
Neither did Jim Brown.
OK, that sounds great, but what makes him your chief suspect? Can't you see they're protecting him? The guy's standing in the election - maybe they're just trying to avoid bad press.
And what's the worst possible press a political party could have? It would be That they were responsible for the The hospice fire, right, so Sam goes in there, he discovers what happened and then they kill him, they get rid of him.
But he was there for six months.
It takes time to infiltrate.
Come on, back me up here, Grace.
Well, he would have had to prove himself to the group.
Which he did by attacking Rashid.
I think the priest did it.
And it's not like he hasn't got motive.
Why would the priest wait a year to kill him? Come on, why? Get me Jim Brown and Marie Waters in here.
On what grounds? If you get them, then you get Martin Armstrong in here.
The stones from the graveyard are a match to the stones in Sam's shoe.
I told you the priest did it.
Grace thinks there's a word in the flames.
Really? It just looks like a few squiggles to me.
Ah, but then you see, so do some letters in the Syriac alphabets.
Languages like Hebrew.
It has to mean something.
For the whole group? Or maybe just for Sam.
I mean, why didn't he have the flames on his own tattoo? I can prove that Sam visited your graveyard around the time that he died.
II can't explain that.
OK, what were you doing the first anniversary of your brother's death, what were you doing? Were you in the church? Were you down the pub? I was just praying for Charlie's soul.
You were praying for the soul of the man that you loved.
Now what do you think the other man was doing that loved him? Did you think he perhaps thought, on this first anniversary, "I'll go to the church, pay my respects, sit by his grave?" Come on, this is not a difficult question.
Did you see or hear anybody at the graveyard that night? I heard a banging on the door.
I opened it.
There was no-one there.
And then I saw that the flowers on Charlie's grave had been thrown all over the ground.
And you didn't think, perhaps, that you should've told anybody about this until now? Nothing else had been disturbed.
I just assumed that it was vandals.
This is your brother we're talking about Sir, could I have a word? What? I need to talk to you.
All right.
You made that assumption? On that night, of all nights, you make the assumption that it's vandals? It happens a lot.
Yeah, yeah.
You have no more questions? I have a lot of questions for you.
But no more until you start telling me the truth.
So you'd better seek some guidance from the Lord.
Yeah? It's Mr Said he's here.
He wants to talk to you.
In connection with? He didn't say, he's very upset.
Yeah? Who isn't? You deal with him.
Mr Boyd.
Mr Said.
It doesn't make any sense.
My son You have to find him.
I'm sorry but I, I You do know he's innocent, don't you? He is my son.
Don't you understand? It doesn't make any difference what he's done, he's still my child.
Er Come on in.
Sometimes our kids, they make their own decisions.
You have a son, do you? Yeah, I do have a son, yes.
And would he kill innocent people? I don't know, I mean, I don't think parents know that.
Well, I do know in my heart, Selim wouldn't do such a thing.
Natalie! Selim never planted that bomb.
This is all your fault.
Filling him with hate.
And what would you know? Are you satisfied? Mum, please.
We were going to run away, me and Selim.
He was sick of it and so was I.
What stopped you running away? My dad.
He found out about us and he came round.
I want to have a word with you, all right? Can you get out, please? Just come with me for a minute, will you? When you left your father's, did you see Selim? He wasn't even answering his phone.
And what about his friends? Did you talk to any of them? Well, he's been hanging around with Hassan, his best friend, and that's how this all started them messing around with those stupid election posters.
OK.
Where are you going? Come on.
I'm saying nothing till my brief gets here.
Spence, I need a word.
Come on.
His master's voice.
What's happening? OK.
He's found out about her and Selim.
So I need you to get Terry Wilson, Peter Evans off the street.
Yeah, but They're going to put that kid in intensive care.
How do you know that? So why did you decide to run off with Selim now? Are you pregnant? Yeah.
How far gone are you? Two months, I think.
You think I'm a slag.
No, I don't think you're a slag, not at all.
I think you've got something to live for, something to protect.
He used to call me his princess.
He gave me anything I wanted.
I want you to go in there and face him.
Will you do that for me? No If you go in there and face him, he won't lay a hand on you ever again.
Do you believe me? What's she doing here? She wants to know what you've done with Selim.
Oh, babe.
Nat D-Dad.
Why? That way we we stay pure.
You're my daughter.
You should've thought of that when you hit her.
You know the score.
Charge me or let me go.
She's at risk.
You're not going anywhere.
Tell him, Nat.
Tell him he's talking rubbish.
I want to press charges.
And how long do you think that'll hold up? Long enough for us to find Selim and get you for kidnapping and assault.
What have you done with him? I love him, Dad.
What have you done with the boy? Slag.
You mean that's it? No, you have to find out, make him tell you! It's not that simple.
You did.
But the best thing you can do for Selim is to go home.
Sir, Sam Cohen's file.
Sorry, it took a while to track down.
Thank you.
Uniforms are searching the estate for Evans and Wilson, nothing yet.
Armstrong? He's coming in.
Put him in Interview 2.
Keep him away from Brown, all right? Grace! Yes? Sam Cohen was diagnosed HIV positive 1988.
I know that Jim Brown has full-blown AIDS, so is she the missing link? Was Sam bisexual or? She insists that the relationship was emotional not physical but, um I'll certainly talk to her.
What did she say about Armstrong? That they were friends but they haven't seen each other for years, and he wasn't at the New Year's Eve party.
But then, after the hospice fire, he did go away to college to study and seemed to distance himself from Jim and the gang.
It didn't work, they're still involved in each other's lives.
Yeah, well, maybe they need to be.
My name is Selim Said, a proud Muslim youth.
It's a piston-driven engine, rather than a turbo, something like a Lycoming or a Continental Light So, we're not talking about an international airfield, then No, it's a small airfield.
Right.
You hear that? The variation? There? There's a change in propeller pitch.
Can you hear? So it's coming in to land? It's coming in to land, yeah.
So this could be near a landing strip, is that it? I'd say so.
There you go, wee man.
You just sit tight.
The most likely airfield is this one here, in east London.
Why east London? Because it's near to where they live.
What are those two buildings there? Yes? They look like the most likely contenders.
Hi, yes.
No, I have every intention of That's a hangar.
Right, and the other one? Yeah An old biscuit factory.
Please, you've got to understand that I have a job to do.
Tell Luke I'll be there as soon as I can.
Yeah.
I'll tell him.
Yeah.
What kind of biscuit factory? I don't know.
Well, find out.
Why? Because I found almond oil on Sam's jeans.
Come on! Heathson's Biscuits.
Almond Crunch.
Almond Crunch.
Armed police! On the ground, now! Move! Move! Hands on your head! Behind your back! Come on! Up! On your feet! Are you OK? It's over.
Look at me.
Look at me.
It's over.
It's over.
All right.
You all right? Understand? You're all right.
Just take it easy, just take it easy.
Thank you.
He's OK.
Yes, thank you.
He's OK.
Thank you.
OK, thank you.
They're taking him to hospital.
I've arranged a car.
I'd like you to stay here, Marie.
I'm going to go with my daughter.
No.
What do you mean? I mean, we have things to discuss.
Like to sit down? You seem very close to Natalie.
I used to be.
Jim turned her against me.
Ten years he didn't give me so much as a few quid to help out.
What changed his attitude? Realised he was dying.
Ah.
When did he contract HIV? They're not sure.
He found out a few years back, when he had a problem with his lungs.
And do you know how he came to be infected with it? He thinks he got it from me, but he didn't.
So, you're not infected? That's the one bit of luck I had.
The doctors reckon that he'd had it for years, without knowing.
He's lived longer than we expected him to.
Which is really unfair.
In what way? Because George is dead and Jim's still alive.
Were you in love with George? I never met anyone like him.
And yet you weren't intimate with each other? No.
Never? There was once.
The night I told him I was pregnant.
I didn't know.
I never meant to hurt you or the baby.
What are you talking about? You've got to believe me, I'm so sorry.
Why do you think he was so upset? I've never worked it out.
Can I have a word with you, please? You're not going to believe what those people have done to Selim.
Does she know what she's dealing with? She's still defending them? She could be telling the truth.
Don't give me that.
Well, we do not know for sure that Jim and his gang set fire to the hospice, nor do we know that's why George became Sam.
What does she have to say about that? I haven't got there yet.
You haven't asked her? I'm trying to do my job, You interrupted me in the middle of my interview.
.
.
will you please do yours? Yes.
See him? See him? See him? Poof! D'you swallow it? 'I'm very sorry.
' But you had to be told who George really was and why he was there.
He'd have said something to me.
He was my friend.
But do you understand why he had to do it? Yes.
So, is it true? The alibi you gave them.
Were Jim and the others in your flat the night of the hospice fire? Mr Armstrong.
This is ridiculous.
How much longer We're keeping your clients in custody.
We're charging them with kidnapping and terrorism.
We found the boy alive.
So there's absolutely no reason for me to be here.
Well I'll see you at the bail hearing.
Mr Armstrong, would you mind taking a seat, please? What do you mean? I mean, would you mind taking a seat? Thank you.
Thank you.
Now, I'm reopening the investigation intoPlease.
The investigation into the hospice fire.
There isn't a scrap of evidence to connect me to that crime.
I'm not suggesting there is at the moment.
Please, hear me out.
I've got your client, Jim Brown.
And you understand that I've got him for 12 hours? I'm sorry, I'm really puzzled by your involvement with this man.
Why? Well, he's in deep shit this time.
We've got him for kidnapping, assault, bombing your office - I can't help but think that your association with him is going to be damaging to your political career.
If it could be proved that he did any of this, then of course it can also be proved that I had absolutely no knowledge of it.
Yeah, but for me to prove that, you'd have to be willing to testify against your client and Well, if the evidence was irrefutable, of course I would.
You would be willing to testify against your client, Jim Brown? Of course.
Thank you.
Eve.
Keys, watch, wallet, Walkman.
That's good.
Bag it up.
OK.
It's just completely unbelievable - every one of these people has AIDS.
Peter Evans, Terry Wilson, Sam Cohen, and Jim Brown, they've all got AIDS.
Even if they're having sex with the same person, that is impossible the hit rate 100%.
I need to talk to you right now.
OK.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What I'm saying is what are the chances of getting HIV from an infected tattoo needle? And I'm saying they're really, really remote.
But you can get it from sharing needles, can't you? Yeah, but it's a different kind of needle.
Intravenous drug users use a hollow needle so the blood stays in the needle, and if it's passed on You can get infected! Yeah, but a tattoo needle's not like that - it's not hollow, it's different.
It's contained within a chamber and it moves back and forth, and it acts as an ink reservoir.
OK, but if the equipment wasn't sterilised and there was some contaminated blood that remained in the tubing Yeah, if there was some contaminated blood that remained in the tubing, then possibly So you can get HIV from a tattoo! What? Four times? No, the primary mode of transmission between males is unprotected anal intercourse, or heterosexually.
Yeah, but that's the impossibility of odds again.
You've got to admit, it's a perfect irony.
They burn down an AIDS hospice and they all end up getting it.
Let's show him.
Boyd, let us show you this.
Uh-huh.
OK.
See these? Right, I thought they might be Hebrew.
And they are.
"Shin", "Resh", "Vav", "Feh" it spells "Srohf".
It means "burn".
"Burn".
Burn.
As in "Burn in hell".
"Burn in hell".
I have to ask you, did Did Sam Cohen give Peter Evans and Terry Wilson the phoenix tattoo? He did one for all of them.
All done.
What do you think? It's beautiful, George.
Nice one, son.
It's a work of art, mate.
Should be framed.
Here.
Come on.
I think it's the equivalent of being a mass-murderer.
They had killed his lover.
It doesn't make it right.
It's twisted, but it makes sense.
Do you know how many people have contracted HIV because of him? Yes! How long does it take for people to realise they have HIV? It can take up to ten years.
Ten years.
Ten years' worth of sex that's like sentencing hundreds of people to death! He wasn't thinking about the consequences.
His revenge was tied up with his love of Charlie.
In his mind, he had no alternative.
Knowingly infecting someone with contaminated blood is a criminal offence.
The thing that it doesn't explain You're crazy to try and justify this.
I am not justifying it.
The thing none of this explains is, once he'd done the tattoos, why didn't he just get out of there? Maybe he didn't get the chance.
Or maybe something happened where he was forced to reveal his identity.
Maybe there was still a member of the original crew that he hadn't managed to get to.
Armstrong.
I need to be with Natalie.
Does Martin Armstrong have one of those tattoos? What? The tattoos that Sam gave the other guys does Armstrong have one of those? I don't know.
I was never that involved with them.
Thinking that helps you sleep at night? You see, I don't think you can be just a bit of a Nazi.
Looking good there, Marie.
Who's this? This is George.
What's with the new tattoos? Celebration.
First anniversary.
Oh, yeah.
Bonfire of the Queers? You should have one.
Well, you were there.
I could do you next, if you like.
No, Martin stays clean.
Political wing.
Isn't that right, Martin? Yeah.
Give him one.
No.
He wasnae there.
You're one of us now, aren't you? "Loyalty unto death" and all that.
They sent Sam Cohen to hell before he died.
Did you get it? In here.
Bastard.
Lying, thieving bastard.
First he was kicked a number of times in the head and the body.
That's enough.
Where is it? What have you done with it? Where is it? Then he was bound to a chair you can see the marks here, and here.
At some point, this wallet was removed.
I found Sam Cohen's blood on it.
And, on the inside, a perfectly-preserved thumbprint belonging to Jim Brown.
Can you prove that this is Sam's wallet? Well, let me show you this.
As you can see, on the photograph there is a very distinct pattern of fading where the light has affected it.
Certain abnormalities, irregularities in the leather and a small paint spot here on the transparent sheet, all showing a distinct pattern which matches perfectly.
Who's this? His name's Charlie Ayanike, and he's my lover.
He's the one you burnt.
They used a bottle like this, with a foil collar, to ram the piece of the photograph down his gullet.
His arms were bound with wire Finally they put a rope around his neck indications here and here, and hoisted him up to the ceiling with the pulley.
The Blood Pattern Analysis over here shows a percussive blood staining which indicates to me that he was left hanging and bleeding.
For how long? Hours.
I know how you killed Sam Cohen.
Who? Sam Cohen.
George Andrews.
He was, in fact, a man called Sam Cohen.
Jew-boy.
Yes, a Jew and a homosexual.
So, send me down for it.
I serve a cause, something you wouldn't understand.
No.
But I know what you did to this man.
You tortured him for three hours, you choked him, crucified him.
But why didn't you burn him? Why didn't you just send him up in smoke like you did with Charlie Ayanike? You wanted something from it, something it wouldn't give you.
Was Martin Armstrong there that night? If you think I'm going to give you Martin Armstrong, then you don't understand the master plan.
The Master Plan, White Supremacy, the Aryan Legion.
Do you think you're the kind of people who have loyalty to each other? You're like rats, hatred doesn't bind, it eats away, it destroys - listen to this.
"I have absolutely no knowledge of it.
" "But in order for me to prove that you'd have to be willing to testify against your client and" "If the evidence was irrefutable, of course I would.
" "You would be willing to testify against your client, Jim Brown?" "Of course.
" Are you completely stupid? He's sold you down the line.
Your daughter has sold you down the line.
What do you want to be, the sole martyr to the cause? Sounds nice.
There was a tape.
There was a tape? Look, look, look.
There they go, there they go.
See him, see him, see him.
Poof! D'you swallow it? Oh, look, oh, look, look, look.
He can't get out.
Ooh, he can't get out.
Who are you waving at, eh? Who are you waving at? He's washing the windows.
He ain't comin' out.
Here he goes, look.
Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Yeah! Come on! Nice one, or what? Sieg heil! Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Come on! George, we've finished! George? George? Terry.
Terry! How come you didn't burn it off, once you knew about Sam? It was bigger, deeper than that.
Did you know that there were Hebrew letters here, hidden in the flames? Did you? There, you see them? These letters here, they spell the word "Srohf" which, in Hebrew, means "burn".
As in "burn in hell".
You see Sam Cohen had AIDS and he put his blood in the tattoo ink.
So, when you're choking on your last breath, just remember, that it was Sam Cohen who killed you.
Would you like a glass of water? Marie, we know Sam had the tape.
If we find that tape, we've got them all.
Please, Marie.
You went to the police originally, it must've been you.
Because you wanted some kind of justice for Sam.
You help me find the tape, I promise you I promise you, you will get that justice.
I told him.
Told who? Told him George was in the church.
But who did you tell? Jim? Martin.
I told Martin.
Where is he? Tell me.
No! Tell me.
Tell me! We're gonna find him, we're gonna get the tape, and then we're gonna kill him.
So if you don't want the same thing to happen to your baby, tell me where he is! Church.
St Saviour's.
Good girl.
You're free to go.
I said you're free to go.
I need to confess.
Not to me.
I saw Sam that night.
I failed Sam.
Yeah.
Are you sure that it was Charlie's grave? Is that it? Yup.
You've got 2 minutes 23 seconds of a man burning to death.
Exactly.
And someone holding a camera filming it.
How can you do that? I don't think Sam was killed because of this tape.
I think he was killed because of the betrayal.
There's nothing incriminating on it.
No, we've got nothing.
Well, there may be more information on it - I've got to go through it frame by frame.
Well, best of luck, Eve.
I don't envy you your job.
Thanks.
OK.
See you inside, Martin.
Is that enough? Yeah.
It'll do, yeah.
It'll do.
Can he see me? No.
He'll find a way out of this.
He always does.
Well, if that's your evidence I mean, it could be me it could be Martin Bormann.
I'll see you in court, Detective.
You will.
Just wait a minute, would you please? Marie, please.
I hope you're not going to keep this woman long.
She's got a young daughter, you know.
I won't, but I think you'd like to hear what she has to say.
According to your statement, Marie, on the night of the St Jerome's Hospice fire, Martin Armstrong was in your flat playing cards, all night, with Jim Brown, Terry Wilson, Peter Evans.
Is that correct? I lied.
So you are retracting this statement? Yes.
You need a lawyer.
Bastard! Dirty, thieving bastard! That's enough.
Where is it? TV: "I think we can go over there straight away.
" I have no comment to make at this present time, but I will be making a statement in due course.
Sir? See you tomorrow, Stella.
OK.
I'm going into oblivion, and if I've had any effect on the world, you know, in some tiny way improved it, that was for the world's sake.
Wherever you go, I go.
Eventually.
I'll wait for you.
You'd better.
So you're going? Looks like it.
We're not finished.
Yeah, but you've worked out my problem.
Poor little middle-class boy, not loved enough by his nasty dad.
Don't do this.
I'm going.
To where? To do what? To start my new, improved life.
You should be happy.
It turns out you're not such a crap shrink after all.
Why is it locked? Because this is a secure wing.
I'm? You're on a committal order.
But to do that you'd have to have Your father's consent.
Yeah? Hello.
Dad, you can't lock me up again.
Hi, son.
Er, no, I know.
I know that.
Just let me go, please.
Well Yeah, I-I will, but Look please don't disappear, will you? You will stay in touch, yeah? Yeah, I will.
