Magdalene 26: Part 1

This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting I'll teach you! If you run, she'll get what's coming to you! Don't listen to her! Just run! What do you think? It looks like a serial killer's den.
I like it.
You would.
Half the electrics don't work.
It's like a tomb! No through traffic.
Not from the living.
Where's my office? It's somewhere on the other side of those boxes.
How do I get to it? Through the boxes? I haven't got an office, have I? Why are we down here? It's quieter.
No-one's going to find us.
There's that too.
SCREAMING Stella? There's a rat! A rat? A huge rat.
All right.
I'll find something to kill it.
Where is it? Under the shelf.
Don't kill Hannibal! Hannibal? Don't kill him.
Where is he? Where is he? You want him alive?! Where is he? Where is he? There.
There.
Where? Hannibal? Hannibal! Hannibal.
Dinner time.
He's hungry and he's got a special diet.
There we are.
Are you guys going to be all right down here? Yeah.
We'll be fine.
I'll be up in my lab.
OK.
Bye, Hannibal.
PHONE RINGS The phone works! Well, maybe someone should get it.
Stella? Yeah.
I'm going.
This is the call answering division with a message for Detective Superintendent Boyd.
We have a DNA search that is flagging as connected to one of your cold cases.
Look at that bird, she's starkers! Get your camera out! Wahey! HORN BEEPS Get down! Go! Go! Just go! This is 26.
Another pair of hands for you, sister.
You show her what to do.
Yes, sister.
I can show her, sister.
Fine.
You know the rule - she messes up, you'll get what's coming to her.
Yes, sister.
Well, get back to work! You lazy hussies! This way.
It's OK.
It's OK.
I'm just going to put this on to keep you warm, OK? My name's PC Katrina Howard.
Now can you tell me your name? 'Found on Nine Mile Road in Downshire in the early hours of this morning' Naked, suffering trauma and apparent memory loss.
They ran her DNA through the system to try and identify her.
She flagged as a person of interest in one of your cold cases.
No ID on her yet? No, sir.
Anyone making a search of the area? We haven't got any available units Where is she? Any idea what happened to her? She's got some ligature marks on her wrists and the rape kit showed positive.
Have you put that through that lab? I made a request but they're backed up and said it would take a few days.
Has she spoken? So, do you want to try and speak to her? No.
Have all the medical on her and the rape kit sent to my lab.
OK.
Are you taking the case, sir? Yes.
Right, cos I've got to get back to my unit.
You stay here until I get someone to relieve you.
But I need to get back, sir, as I said, I Stay.
Sir.
Where is she? I crashed.
What about woman?! She escaped.
The boot must have sprung open when I hit Coban! What? We have problem.
I lost her.
That is problem.
It was an accident.
Kill this piece of English shit! I'm not English.
I'm Turk, just like you.
Like me? You think this makes you like me? Let go! You cry like a bitch.
Enough.
Enough.
So, our cold case links the unknown woman to the murder of Resat Topal, found dead in his office on 14th January, 1967 alongside this, still unidentified white male.
The Clubs & Vice files say Topal was part of the influx from Turkey in the '50s.
'Did they have anything on him?' 'They suspected the club was a front for prostitution.
' What about this guy? No ID on him.
They believe he was in his 20s.
No form.
OK.
Crime scene, what do we know? The original post-mortem says that Resat was killed with a single stab wound through his gut and on up into his heart.
The murder weapon was a Samurai sword which was found in the clutches of the unidentified male, in his right hand.
And do we know where it came from? Yes, we do.
It came from this ceremonial stand which was also in the room.
Oh, right, and they're a pair, right? Yeah.
Do we have these swords? Yes, upstairs in the lab I'm going to run tests.
What was this man's cause of death? The unidentified male's cause of death was an intra-cranial haemorrhage caused by a blow, or a number of blows to his temple.
You can see the marks made there by this very distinctive sovereign ring.
Which Topal was wearing? Yes, it was on the hand.
So he pummelled him with his right fist, ring on middle finger.
Yeah.
How does a guy who was punched to death then stab the other guy with a sword? Well, maybe he didn't die immediately.
Third party? What about our mysterious woman? What's her connection? Our mysterious lady Her blood was found on the mouths of the two deceased males.
Her blood was on their lips? Yeah.
Was it found anywhere else? No.
So, what are the choices? She bit them or they bit her.
Yes, but if she bit them you'd see evidence of it and there isn't and, well, we can't know if they bit her.
Perhaps it was a vampiric ritual? Maybe she was a prostitute hitting back at her pimps.
Come on, now in 1967, she'd have been a very young teenager take an awful lot of strength or rage to kill a man so powerful and violent.
So we have a 15, 16-year-old girl who was in, possibly, a brothel with two dead men, one identified as Resat Topal, the other still unidentified.
So was this a gangland killing? Or is it about the girl? Sir! Locals have found an abandoned car close to where the woman was picked up.
Don't let them go anywhere near it.
All right, let's go.
Do you need me? Sorry? I was wondering if you needed me.
No, no.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Do I know you? No.
Are you a doctor? No, I'm a psychologist.
I can't remem What's my name? We don't know.
Why won't they tell me what happened to me? Because we don't know yet.
But why can't I remember? Maybe you're afraid to.
I don't understand.
Well, the mind has an ability to protect itself to block out events that it finds too disturbing.
So if you want to access those memories, we have to let the mind know that it's in a safe place.
OK.
So the first thing you have to accept is that whatever it is you've been through, you've survived it.
It's over now.
No I don't think so.
Why? I've got this feeling something terrible is going to happen.
No, that's normal, OK? That's the resonance of the trauma you've been through a sort of mental shadow of it.
What? When I woke up this morning, I remembered how to pray.
A memory as a little girl.
Well, that's good.
Back her up Come on, keep her coming.
Keep her coming.
More, more Grand now.
.
.
and Jesus said to his disciple The van's here.
Let someone else take it.
I have it.
I know what you're up to.
If I found a way out of here would you come with me? We'd have the Gardai scouring the country for us.
Not if we get far enough away.
Hush now! The devil makes work for idle hands.
Be careful! Would you come with me? Maybe.
Will you meet me? You think I can come and go as I please? My boss has keys.
So? I can open the little door down in the garden.
Youse two go any slower you'll stop! You lazy little tikes! When? Tonight? I might.
Could've been taken for a joyride.
No plates.
No tax.
Well, now it's officially dodgy.
There's blood on the airbag here.
We'll be able to put a time of deployment from the on-board computer.
Pens.
SAT NAV: 'Welcome to the digital navigator.
' One of these.
'You are using voice activator.
' 'Please state destination.
' Home.
'Turn around where possible.
That's handy.
I swear on the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Get out of it.
Do you not want to? What if something happens? I'll look after you.
You expect me to believe that? I swear.
Swear on what? I swear on the Sacred Heart.
Bless yourself then.
And say it at the same time.
I swear on the Sacred Heart of Jesus that if anything happens, I'll look after you.
Right.
'You have reached your destination.
' Gates.
Let's see if it works.
So, the car does belong here.
DOORBELL RINGS Curtains drawn.
I'll check the grounds.
Let's go round the back.
Dog.
Big dog.
See 'em? Yeah.
Carrion sarcs.
Flesh-eaters.
LOUD BUZZING Always be prepared.
Dead Posh(!) There's a bigger colony coming from through there.
OK, we have a white male, aged unknown, suspended by his feet.
He's also got ties around his wrists, there's a ligature round his neck.
Mouth is gaping.
The tongue is half-eaten away due to maggot infestation.
The central heating would have created perfect conditions for decay.
Looking at the size and distribution of the maggot masses and the length of the individual larvae in the flesh, we're talking at least second generation I'd estimate the PMI as being approximately five days.
What's that noise? The snap, crackle, pop? Yeah.
It's feeding in the flesh.
Oh.
Look at this.
It's her.
Yeah.
Elizabeth Andrews.
Come out from there! Do you think you're the first little tramp to try and sneak over that wall after a boy? I had the locks changed.
Come here.
I'll teach you.
I know what you're going to do! You're wanting to do filth, aren't you?! Come down! You're going nowhere! Leave her alone! Go! Go! Get your hands off me! Sister Margaret! Come with me, Kathleen! Just get out of here! Go! Go! Where are you, what's happening? Get off of her! Just get off of her! Come down from there now! Kathleen! If you run, she gets what's coming to you! Don't listen to her.
Just go! Run! Just go! Be quiet.
Hold her tight! Now you're for it.
Get up! You'll burn in hell! That'll be up to God.
But I tell you this much - you'll burn on Earth! I thought you weren't coming.
We've got to get out of here! What's wrong? They're after me! What do you mean? I mean I've been found out and they're after me! I don't want trouble.
I'm not going back there.
It's different now! You promised, you said if anything happened you'd take care of me! I know, but You swore! I know that.
You swore.
Come on, then.
I found freshly-dried bloodstains and saliva stains along with pubic hair in the boot of the crashed BMW.
These are a match to Elizabeth Andrews' DNA.
The distribution pattern of the samples would suggest to me that she was being carried in the boot of the car up until the point of collision.
COMPUTER BEEPS 'Look at that bird, she's starkers.
Get the camera out quick.
Wahey!' Elizabeth Andrews.
The sole owner of the house.
Now she appears in Companies Register half a dozen times.
Everything from leisure and retail to oil exploration.
She paid herself two million last year.
Right.
This is her husband, or was her husband, Tony Muller.
Yeah.
Swiss national, German-Swiss.
Married four years ago.
Occupation - ski instructor.
I think that's a code for house-husband.
A very attractive ski instructor.
Is he? Yes.
It's a factor.
Is it? Mmm.
Well, it's not enough of a factor to get his name on the house, is it, Grace? She's a very attractive older woman and he's very fit.
I get it.
I understand.
There are no records of Muller in the UK.
Well, he's a Swiss national.
Why don't you get in touch with them? I've been trying to but the Swiss, getting information Tell them you're after Nazi gold that should open a few doors.
Why is everybody trying to tell me my job at the moment? Good morning, Father.
It's afternoon, Patrick.
Look at that, Father.
Isn't that terrible? You'd think she'd know better.
# ma belle # These are words that go together well # My Michelle # Michelle, ma belle # I don't know what to do.
What about your uncle in Kilburn? Are you mad? We can't go to him now.
What did I do? I don't even know your name.
You never asked.
Michelle.
Michelle English.
So, Michael O'Hare, what are we going to do? I think I have a plan.
I'll go to my uncle on my own.
But why? Wait, wait.
I'll get a start from him on the site.
Then we can get a place.
And what will I do? Just wait here.
Just give me an hour.
One hour.
OK? Fine.
You are coming back for me, aren't you? Yeah.
Of course.
You promise? I promise.
Spence, what have we got on Elizabeth's house? I checked the perimeter.
No sign of forced entry.
Top security system.
Disabled.
At what time? The alarm memory shows disabled 23.
27 on the 24th.
Which was the Friday.
Yeah.
So what time was the airbag deployed? On-board computer shows airbag deployed at 6.
17am on the 27th.
(27th) Monday? Yeah.
That gives us - Saturday, 24 hours.
That gives us Sunday, that's 54.
It's three days.
three days.
Three days.
From the time the alarm went off to the time that the car crashed.
Yes.
No sign of forced entry into the house.
There's also an empty safe in the bedroom.
Yes, contents insurance? Yeah, worth half a million in jewellery.
And the safe had a memory function on it? The safe was opened 12 minutes after the alarm was turned off.
OK, so the safe opens at 23.
39.
So the intruders entered the house and they begin to torture Tony.
Maybe they're trying to extract information from Elizabeth.
Contents of the safe? Which she gives to them.
Yeah, in the first 12 minutes.
Yeah.
So what happens to Elizabeth Andrews, here, between the time the safe is opened and the time that she was found naked and raped on the Monday morning? We know Tony was probably killed on the Saturday morning.
Yeah, but if they tortured him to get information about the safe, and they got what they wanted, why did they keep her alive through this period? Maybe that was their intention.
We've found her.
Don't disappoint me this time.
You want me to kill her?! Yes.
I thought Mr Polat wanted her alive.
He did, but you lost her.
Do you know what happens if she talks to the police and harms Mr Polat? What? Zafer dies.
Why? That's the way it is.
You are a soldier, he is your captain.
Your mistake is his.
His mistake is mine.
I have to kill him.
He is like my brother.
What do you think I will do to you if I have to kill my brother? HE SPEAKS IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE You will fix your mistake.
HE SPEAKS IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE No.
It is for him to do.
How much, darlin'? I've got the results on the DNA from the rape kit - three males, one of whom was the driver of the crashed car.
They all belong to a specific ethnic group.
Aboriginal Anatolians, it's a J2 haplogroup, Y-chromosome, it doesn't mutate.
It's found predominantly in the Fertile Crescent in North Africa, the Mediterranean, so Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Italy, Greece, Turkey and the Caucasus.
Our cold case is a Turk.
Is that just a coincidence? I don't see why it should be.
What did these three men do to Tony Muller? X-rays show severe fracturing to both zygomatic arches here and here, a depressed fracture to the temporal squama here, and a complete collapse of the nasal septum all indications of a prolonged beating.
What are you doing?! No! No! Please don't! Tony! No! Tony! Toxicology? Toxicology.
Yes, there were high levels of cocaine found in his bloodstream.
His liver is inflamed which is consistent with long-term alcohol and drug abuse.
How long? I don't know yet, I've got to get a slide of his liver.
Do that when I'm gone, will you? Yeah.
In relation to that I also found traces of cocaine in the house - in the bedroom, on the bed and, also, inside the safe.
But I screened Elizabeth's blood for drug use and she came back negative.
So, the husband's the user here.
Did they come to the house knowing there were drugs there or did they come looking for them, found them in the safe? I mean, extreme behaviour is not uncommon at coke binges but you don't normally end up looking like this.
It doesn't explain everything that happened after.
SHE SCREAMS Shut up! I mean, why did they take Elizabeth away? They killed him, why didn't they kill her and torch the house? It brings us back to why three days? Maybe she had something she couldn't give them there and then.
If she escaped and they didn't let her go, they'll want her back.
And she won't be too hard to find.
Oh, no.
You better get down to the hospital, Spence.
Armed? Yeah.
I can go.
No, it's OK.
Spence can do it.
But you don't need a DI to do bed duty.
I can go.
All right, you do it, then.
OK.
Don't you want to know which hospital you're going to? The woman who lost her memory.
I'm not sure, but if you ask at reception.
Thank you.
Excuse me Sorry, I'm busy.
You can't come in here.
Elizabeth? No, I said you can't come in here.
What are you doing?! Move! Turn around and leave! I just want to talk to Elizabeth! Well, you can't.
Let go of me! Don't make this difficult.
Leave the room now! Behave! Aaaargh! Get him out of here! Don't let him near me! Don't let him near me, don't let him near me! No! Get him away from me, don't let him near me! Keep him away from me! No! Keep him away! Don't let him near me! AAARGH! AAARGH! God help me, God help me! Father? Hey, come in! Come in and show yourself! Are you OK? Yes, thank you.
There's no need to go.
I have to go.
I've already seen the smock under your coat.
I don't need to know any more.
And there's a safe place for you here.
If you want it.
The YWCA's just down the road.
I give you my word that you won't have to go back to where you ran away from.
All right.
Father? My name's Brendan.
The man that was following me What of him? Is he still out there? He's always out there.
Do you know him? I know of him.
So do you.
I don't understand.
He's the devil.
But you don't belong to him.
No.
No, I don't.
Can I help? Who are you? Father Brendan Quinn.
I was visiting a parishioner, heard the commotion.
Can I help you? Yes, Father.
Go on.
Father.
I saw the devil.
I know.
I know you did.
I know.
Now, hush now.
God will protect you.
Here.
Here, take these.
Pray with me.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread He doesn't look like a Turk.
Who is he? His name is Samuel Knight.
I ran him through the system.
Sole owner of a company called Universal Prospects, set up in 2007.
Hedge fund management.
City guy.
Yeah, but not for long.
Look.
"In administration".
Nine Brownie points on his licence, speeding offences in his Porsche Boxster.
Couldn't afford the 911.
No, but the Boxster's a nice car.
It's not a Porsche, though.
Boys! Is there any connection to Elizabeth Andrews? No, there's nothing here.
But she knew him? It would appear so.
Stella said that she flipped out when she saw him.
Could've have been a trigger for a memory recall.
It doesn't mean he was part of the attack, it could be someone she knew.
No, he's not someone she knew.
He's close to her.
Why do you think that? Because he was outraged when we wouldn't let him go into her room to be at her bedside! That's true.
So? God, you two! OK, we've known each other a long time.
Yeah.
I'm in a hospital bed, the police, the doctors, they won't allow you to come into my room, do you accept that? Of course.
You wouldn't feel a moral right to be at my bedside? No.
Cos we never had sex.
He was outraged.
I'm going to the hospital.
OK.
I want to file charges of assault.
What's your connection to Elizabeth Andrews? I want to file charges of assault! I heard you.
So?! That's a different department, I'll give you the number.
When can I go? We can make this easy, I ask the questions, you answer them, then we're done.
And how long's it gonna take? Are you listening to me? OK, ask! Right, what is your connection to Elizabeth Andrews? What happened to her? You're well-dressed, I assume you earn a good living and you're therefore not mentally disabled.
What?! Do you have a medical condition that makes you incapable of answering a direct question? She's my business partner.
Well done.
A partner? Yes.
So why isn't your name on her company register? OK, what I mean is, she is a partner in my business.
Right.
At Universal Prospects? Yes.
So why isn't her name on your company register? Because she's a silent partner.
Oh, that's different.
Is it?! Yeah, you see, her business is investing in other businesses so what you're telling me, in your sweet little way, is you're one of her investments.
You could put it like that.
That's not the way you put it.
I'm sorry, what is your point? I've just made it.
Well, I didn't get it! Are you screwing her? I beg your pardon? I take that as a yes.
No, it's Why not say "no", then? Are you confused? If someone asks me if I'm screwing someone, I don't have to think about it, I am or I'm not, but you seem confused.
Sowell, maybe you're not screwing, maybe it's love.
Oh! This is ridiculous! OK.
I don't think you'll find this ridiculous cos this is her husband.
He was murdered and tortured, it was a slow, painful death.
This is Elizabeth herself, who was raped by three men over a period of three days.
Oh, God! Look, I know you're lying to me.
And if you don't tell me the truth, I'm going to make you lick that up.
Boyd.
Boyd.
Come on, mate.
Let's get you cleaned up.
I've been looking all over for you.
Have you now? Why didn't you wait for me at the cafe? And how long did you expect me to wait there, Mick? Do you know what goes on around there? I do now.
I got held up.
When I got back there, you'd gone, I thought something had happened to you.
Well, I'm fine.
Who's this, then? This is Mick.
Mick.
Hiya.
That's a nice suit.
Yeah.
I got a start.
It's a bit fancy for the building site, though, isn't it? I don't work on a site.
I can see that.
I've a job in a a pub.
So it must be a very fancy pub, then? It is.
It's a gentlemen's club.
Good for you.
Now was there anything I could help you with, Mick, or did you just come in here to show us your nice new suit? I want to talk to Michelle.
I think you've told her all she needs to know.
Fine.
Mick! Mick, wait! I have a flat.
Will you come with me? I can't.
I can get you a job in the club I work in.
What sort of job? Selling cigarettes.
You get a uniform and everything.
What sort of job is that? It's a great job.
The girls make loads of money in tips.
Mr Topal said And who's he? He's my boss, he owns the club.
I was telling him that I had a girlfriend and he said, "Bring her in and I'll give her a job.
" Who's this girlfriend you have, then? You.
Look, I do want to go with you.
Then come on.
No, I've got to stay here for a while.
Why? Because I promised.
Will you come out? To the pictures, or something? All right.
You know I love you, right? You do? Course I do.
That's good, then.
Right, so.
Is it done? It's impossible.
There's police all over the place.
Loads of security! Zafer! Zafer! Olgac.
Let me tell you what I will do to you if you disgrace our family.
I will cut up your bastard children, I will rape your whore wife and sell her to the Kurdish brothels.
Do you understand me? Yes.
Get the car.
I've managed to recover a partial print from the blade of the Samurai sword.
Is that because you could and they couldn't back then? Exactly.
It was made into the blood so it's post-trauma.
It's not Topal, nor is it the other unidentified male.
So, could it belong to Elizabeth? No.
No, the size would indicate that it's probably male.
So there was a third man on the scene with Elizabeth? Possibly.
Oh, Boyd, do you want me to get a sample, a DNA sample from your suspect, or have Spence get a mouth swab? No, no, no, it's not necessary, I'll just send you my shirt.
I don't understand.
You will when you see the shirt.
All right? Oh, OK.
How is he? The vomiting's stopped, but But? It's kicked off at the other end.
I've asked FIB to send through Knight's accounts so we can see who he's doing business with.
Right, let's see what he does with his money.
OK.
Last month.
There's nothing much happening, so we go back six months April, March, February.
No, no, nothing much.
Let's go further back, a year A year March, February, there we go.
Last year, there are some major amounts being transferred into and out of this account.
Yeah.
Owner of account .
.
is .
.
Elizabeth Andrews.
Let's see what her current financial position is.
There's nothing in it.
No.
Look at the dates it was cleared out.
Three million.
A million a day into a Swiss bank account.
Three million over three days.
There are a few customers I wouldn't expect to see indoors.
Calliphora Vomitoria.
If you have to die to do this, you do it.
Grace Foley.
Cold Case Squad.
Hey.
Who's that? Father Quinn, visiting priest.
Hello? Oh, I'll leave you to it.
In nomine Patris, Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Do you need me to do anything? No.
Thank you.
OK.
Well, I'll be in the hospital chapel if anybody needs me.
Thank you.
It's not a dream, is it? No.
Is Tony .
.
my husband, is dead? Yes.
Who were they? I was hoping that you might be able to tell me.
No.
Can you tell me what happened? I'll try.
There were three of them.
Foreign.
They woke us up.
SHE SCREAMS OK, so these three men, what do they want? Don't know.
Well, they must have said.
I mean, they .
.
they said they wanted Mr Polat's money.
Polat? I've never heard of him.
I gave them the safe.
I told them to empty my bank account.
But it wasn't enough? No.
I gave them the account numbers and security codes.
It took them a few days.
And all that time you were being held? Yeah.
Have you got any family? No, I never had children.
Mother? Father? No, they died.
Siblings? No.
Listen, I've got to go.
Elizabeth, I'm going to ask you something.
Is it possible that you could have been in Soho in January, 1967? Yeah.
I was 15.
Yes.
I was boarding at a convent school.
But could you have been in Soho in 1967? We used to sneak out sometimes.
To go to Ronnie Scott's.
So you could've been? Why are you asking? Your DNA was found at the scene of a serious crime in Soho, January 14th, 1967.
What? What sort of serious crime? A double murder.
No! I know I lost my memory but it's back now.
I think I'd remember that.
Don't you? Stop! He's got a gun! Put down your weapon! Get back inside.
I'm not going anywhere.
Everyone, get back inside! Move away from the door! Drop your weapon! Take the shot.
Put it down, son.
I can't.
Move! GUN SHOT Stella! Can we get some help? Stay with me.
Stella.
Stella.
Come on, darling.
Stay with me.
Get someone! Stay with me.
I ran the prints on the gun from the hospital.
