Prime Suspect (1991) s06e02 Episode Script

The Last Witness [2003]

I have filled all the goddamn forms.
Give her body to me now! - Sir, we can´t - You will give her to me.
I have filled all the goddamn forms.
Her body has to be washed.
She can only be washed by females.
She has to be shrouded according to Muslim tradition.
As soon as the coroner releases Jasmina´s body, she can be prepared for burial along with her sister.
- Here.
- What´s that? These are her belongings.
You had him and you let him go.
We didn´t have enough evidence to hold him.
I promised Jasmina she would be safe and I let her down, I´m sorry.
I´m sorry.
You think this is all because of me.
No.
No, no.
I I don´t think you are in any way connected or to blame for this, no.
My divorce came through last week.
We were going to get married.
No more looking over her shoulder.
What were they to him? Did they know him? I wish I could tell you.
He is a security guard? But who is he? Who is he? Zigic.
Duscan Zigic.
Get them to check all the rocks they´ve already looked under.
Shelters, hostels, cheap hotels.
The lot, and the same again tomorrow.
That sighting in Ealing.
How can you mix up a Somali with a Serbian? We´ll look back, knowing we´ve played a small part in a policing legend.
I´ve been trying to raise DCI Finch.
Whoosh! Gone.
He´ll want a lot of clear water between him and this disaster.
You can´t blame him.
She nabbed the case off him.
He´s only trying to protect himself.
¡Ooooh! - Thank you.
- Right.
This is Mr Lukic, who will be your interpreter.
Now, something between them.
A look, a gesture, a handshake.
I´m sure they know each other.
Dobar darn kado ste Mogao bi biti bolje Pa evo rnas opet What? When they first meet.
Zigic says "Here we go again.
" - Yeah.
So? - It´s a little too familiar for strangers.
I mean It could mean that they they know each other.
No, he he qualifies it then.
He says "Again, us Serbs Again, the persecution of the Serbs.
" lt´s It could have been covering a mistake or Maybe it´s genuine.
Maybe that´s what he feels is happening to him.
I don´t know.
Maybe I´m saying it because you want me to.
Yeah.
Or maybe it´s cos I´ve got no-one else to go after.
Miss Henderson, could you spare a few moments? Regarding what? - Duscan Zigic.
- I´m a bit rushed.
Well, perhaps while you eat.
You do a lot of work for the Serbian community.
Yes.
Could you tell me how you first met the interpreter Milan Lukic? No.
- Why not? - I don´t have to.
Your client visited this community centre quite often, didn´t he? Do you know if Mr Lukic has also been a visitor? I believe he has.
Along with thousands of other people.
Are you aware of the two men having met outside of the interview room? - I mean here, for example? - No, I´m not.
You say, I think there might have been some irregularity concerning your client and Mr Lukic.
The Custody Sergeant has a list of approved interpreters.
- Mr Lukic is listed.
- Yes, yes, of course he is.
But it is a Custody Sergeant´s decisión which interpreter to use.
Not the suspect´s lawyers.
I brought him along to save time.
I just need to know if it was your decisión to include Mr Lukic or if he asked or persuaded you to bring him in.
No, it was my decisión.
Zigic had just over two hours to work his way across London and locate Jasmina in a hospital that houses over 4,000 people.
I think he had help.
I think he was told where to find her.
Cheadle, could you get that file on Lukic? Jasmina was executed, she was shot with a single bullet to the back of the head.
We know that Duscan Zigic did it.
With Samira, it was very different.
It was It was up close.
It was personal.
She was She was tortured with cigarette butts.
She was strangled with a pair of hands.
Milan Lukic.
The interpreter.
The optician.
I think Zigic and Lukic were members of the same paramilitary unit.
I think those two sisters were killed to cover up a massacre they were both involved in.
I think Lukic was the devil that Samira saw on her way to work.
He recognised her.
He had Zigic kidnap her.
He tortured her to find out where Jasmina was, so he could silence her, as well.
But Samira wouldn´t talk.
So he murdered her, he dumped her body, to get maximum publicity, so he could flush out information about Jasmina.
- So he could find a way - Sorry I´m late.
Sorry, guv.
Come on, come on.
This isn´t a one-way street here.
Think the unthinkable.
I might be wrong.
This is a supposition based on the story of a dead witness.
I have no proof that there´s any connection between the two men.
All I´ve got is this file on Lukic.
That´s the side he wants us to see.
It´s the side he had vetted.
Let´s find out the other side.
The nasty secrets.
His work, marriage, debts.
Let´s pay Mr and Mrs Lukic a visit and see what we can find out about them.
Mr Lukic? Could we have a word, sir? - About what? - If we could talk inside, sir.
- Yes? - Mrs Lukic? - Yes.
- I´m DS Jane Tennison.
And this is DC Lorna Greaves.
Is your husband home? - Er No, he´s at work.
- Oh.
It´s just that he´s helping us with a case.
I wanted to ask him a few questions.
Is it all right if we come in and wait for him? - Yes, sure.
- Lovely.
Thank you.
I was just admiring your two beautiful giris.
I can see your husband in them.
I don´t think so.
They´re not his.
Really? I can usually spot a likeness.
- So these are your parents or his? - These are all photos of my family.
Have you been to Serbia to visit his? - No.
Why don´t I call him? - No, you know, don´t bother him.
This is just a formality.
We´re asking everyone who came in contact with a particular suspect where they were at certain times.
You mean, like an alibi? I don´t understand.
My husband was working for you.
Now he´s a suspect? No It´s just really just standard procedure.
Erm Lorna, what´s the day that we were talking? God, my brain´s a sieve these days.
- Saturday, 20th, three weeks ago.
- Yes, that´s right.
- Yes, Saturday three weeks ago.
- He works on a Saturday.
And that Saturday evening? Three weeks ago - We went to the theatre.
- Really? What did you see? I´m going to call him.
Outside of the interview room, have you ever met or talked with Duscan Zigic? No.
Have you ever seen him at the Community Centre in Bishop´s Avenue? No.
Excuse me.
Yes? Soon.
Very soon.
It seems my wife is also being questioned by the police.
Super, I think.
My wife seems somewhat upset by the experience.
So if you´ll excuse me.
And when he came home, were you awake or asleep? Asleep.
I really can´t remember the details of something trivial happening three weeks ago.
Well, do you remember what he was wearing that night? A blue suit, I think.
Do you know what happened to that blue suit? No idea at all.
So you can´t show it to me? I´d rather wait until my husband comes home, if that´s all right.
Excuse me.
I´ve been subjected to the most ridiculous questions.
Superintendent Tennison.
Mr Lukic.
This is DC Lorna Greaves.
Hello.
I´ve just been talking to some of your officers.
I´m sure you know that.
Please sit.
So, this is all because I helped out as an interpreter, yes? To eliminate you from our inquiries, yes.
So, your wife says that Saturday evening three weeks ago you were at the theatre, then you drove the baby-sitter home.
What did you do after that? - I came home.
I went to bed.
- Was your wife awake? Yes, we talked about the play.
Your wife said she was asleep.
- We sat up and talked.
- Now you´ve said it, I remember.
Sorry.
- And what were you wearing? - That I can´t remember.
That Saturday morning, what were you doing? - At work.
Why? - What time did you get to work? First appointment would be about eight.
Then I worked through till lunch time.
And how do you know Rosemary Henderson, Zigic´s solicitor? I´ve already been over this.
I did some translation work for her.
She seemed to think it went well so she contacted me for this job.
See All right, well.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mrs Lukic.
I appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Oh, did you serve in the Army during the war? You know I did.
It´s in my police file.
Oh, gosh! Oh, I´m sorry, I´m sorry.
Hello, Dad.
Hello.
- Right.
- Er That´s erm That´s Wendy´s chair.
No-one messes with Wendy.
Sorry, love.
Oh, OK.
- Erm Is this one all right? - Yes.
I I hope you´ll stay long enough to take your coat off.
How was supper? Oh A lot better than my efforts used to be.
Thanks to my two very generous daughters, I have the best room in the house.
Really, it´s good here.
Pam tells me they´ve offered you retirement.
Well, it´s just one option.
Take it.
Grab it with both hands.
Run for the hills.
Well, look at you.
You can start a whole new life.
You´ve done your bit over and over.
Time you got out of the sewers.
That´s how you´ve always seen it.
Oh, sorry.
Look at the thanks you get.
The newspapers.
That girl´s murder.
It´s as if you´d pulled the trigger.
I tell you, once you´ve stopped, you´ll look around.
You´ll only ask why you didn´t do it sooner.
Seen a ghost? It´s going cold.
You can sense other priorities taking over.
Perhaps he has legged it home.
Sorry.
Erm Lukic´s details, guv.
He checks out.
I went back to student days.
A year in Bosnia, then he trained in Manchester.
The university and the eye hospital confirmed he graduated.
They didn´t give us a lot.
Records are patchy.
I did found out he set up a shop with his wife´s money.
Oh, good.
Yes! The Hardy case.
They all went down.
18 years apiece! Good.
Well done, Simon.
Congratulations.
Guv, we might have something.
Lukic´s appointments for that Saturday, some are fictional.
His 8 o´clock and 8:30 were real, but from nine till one, although the names are genuine clients, when I checked, they didn´t have appointments that morning.
Not only could he have crossed paths with Samira, he´s covering it up.
Yes, guv.
Simon, Simon.
If you´ve got a moment, perhaps some of your good fortune will rub off on this investigation.
- Well done, Simon.
- Sorry, Taff, no time.
Itchy and Scratchy Show.
I´m sorry to keep you waiting.
He does know you´re here.
Lynda, would you get me a double espresso and one of those cakes? I´ll pay you back.
If you´ve come for your glasses, they´re not in yet.
No, that´s not why we´re here.
We´re here to ask you again where you were on the morning of Saturday 20th of last month.
Well, as I told you, I was with clients.
But I wasn´t here all the time.
- Where were you? - The Boston Hotel.
- Hyde Park? - Yes.
I met a client there at 9:30, and stayed until about 12.
Why did you meet the client at the hotel? E sex.
lt´s never the lie that damns you, is it? It´s always the cover-up.
Mickey, we´ve had a tip-off.
Zigic.
It´s a phone-in, but this one sounds real.
Aubrey Hotel.
Kings Cross.
Hotel manager just confirmed the description.
Lovely.
I love my wife.
And I was trying to protect my marriage.
I filled in false appointments in the hope you´d see I had a full morning.
I´m not at all practised or very bright at this kind of thing.
I panicked.
Er Excuse me, boss.
Could we have the client´s details, please? Of course.
Perhaps it was working as an interpreter.
A voyeur into your criminal worid.
I thought I could get away with it.
I´d make a hopeless villain.
The name and address of the client you were with, please.
Will you tell my wife? If it has nothing to do with our investigation, we won´t interfere in a private matter between you and your wife.
The name? Yes, of course.
Sarah Ford.
He´s in number nine.
- Another half-mile silence zone.
- Understood.
Off! Oh, come on.
Come on, come on! Got it? Good.
- I´ve been expecting you.
- Yeah.
The suspect´s in a room facing the street.
My lads are being briefed now.
- Have you got the authority? - Yes.
- Anything else I need to know? - He´s ex-Bosnian paramilitary.
He won´t give himself up.
It´s about national pride.
He´ll either shoot his way out or he´ll commit suicide.
Inspector to all patrols.
Implement roadblocks now.
I have clear sight of the suspect.
Repeat: I have clear sight.
I have lost sight of suspect.
The question is whether he´s still in the room.
Oh, God, not again.
- Get back! - Get back.
Fucking hell! What´s going on? Oh, my God! Get up, get up! I´m not leaving anything! Contact now! Freeze! Urgh! Get back in! - Hello, Larry.
- How are you? - Fine, thanks.
- Haven´t seen you in ages.
Would you like a cup of tea, sir? - Milk, no sugar.
- Front row, sir? Do you understand? Do you need the interpreter? - How´s it going? - I think he´s trying to work out, "Is it going to help me if I go Muppet?" You weren´t in your room that Friday evening.
Where did you go? - Hospital.
- Why did you go to the hospital? I was sick.
Very sick.
Did you see a doctor? Don´t remember.
You know all about security cameras, don´t you? That´s your job.
So, you were seen on a security camera, carrying a gun.
The same gun that we found on you at the hotel.
That gun was used to kill a young woman.
We have evidence that suggests that you killed that woman.
I´m sorry.
We won´t talk about that now.
And that´s painful for you.
I know.
I know it´s painful.
You don´t kill women and children, do you? That´s not why you fought for your country.
No.
Ten years ago, you were ordered to kill two young sisters, weren´t you? But you disobeyed that order.
You let them go.
So we won´t talk about what happened at the hospital.
But what we do need to talk about is how you knew where to find her.
Did someone tell you? Who told you? I killed her.
I killed her Yes! - Who told you where to find her? - Ssh! I killed her Yes, but not the first woman.
I mean, that girl was tortured.
Tortured.
You don´t torture.
What´s she doing? You wouldn´t burn a girl with cigarettes.
That´s not you.
Who did that? I killed them both.
Both sisters.
I killed them both.
Why did you kill them? Well done, guys.
Drinks are on me.
I don´t believe you did this on your own.
This is my word.
I say no more.
- To the double! Cheers! - Cheers.
Where´s Jane? - Bloody typical.
Late as usual.
- She´s on her way.
Saw you on the evening news, sir.
Very impressive.
Looked good.
Should make the ten o´clock, too.
"Police catch evil monster.
" Should shut the bastards up for a while.
She´s convinced another man´s involved.
Can you imagine, for the rest of his life, every time he flushes a toilet, the anxiety? He´s going to shit himself again, in´t he? - I´ve seen him.
- Who? Zigic.
The man on the póster, on the TV.
I´ve seen him.
- Where´s that, sir? - Aubrey Hotel, Kings Cross Kings Cross? And wher was that? Now.
I see him now.
He just went in.
OK.
Can I just take your name and number? Sir? Tennison.
Ah, there you are, ma´am.
There´s a Mr Lukic in reception for you.
- He says he has something for you.
- Thank you.
I was passing by.
- Please.
- Oh.
- Mm.
Good.
- May I? Excellent.
If you have any problems, please don´t hesitate to call me.
Well, goodbye.
Oh! I saw the news about our friend, Mr Zigic.
Congratulations.
Oh, God.
The last time I saw Martin was - your wedding.
- At the wedding.
He complains it´s the last time he saw anybody.
You did the right thing to concentrate on your career.
Simon says you did the hard slog and spotted the white van.
Well done.
That´s where the answers always are.
In the details.
We need more good people like you coming through.
Good work.
Here she is! - Well done, ma´am.
- No, good result all round.
- Good work.
Thanks.
- Cheers.
Not over yet.
Yeah? Yes, sir? - Glad it came good for you.
Well done.
- Well I´ve charged him with the second murder.
I still want to question him about the first.
Sorry, I´ve got to get this.
Excuse me.
You were right.
And I was so wrong.
You know, I listened to that tip-off phone call.
Yeah.
Male.
Foreign accent.
That was made from an untraceable mobile phone.
It could have been genuine, but if it wasn´t, that was meant to be a death sentence.
Someone knew we´d send an armed response unit.
They knew that Zigic would try and fight his way out or else he´d take his own life.
It wasn´t Lukic.
The call was made at 15:17.
He was with us.
- Oh, was he? - Yeah.
Yeah, he was.
We got to the shop at 15:15, maybe even a bit before.
Don´t you remember, he kept us waiting? Like three, four minutes? That´s long enough to make a mobile phone call.
You really want it to be him, don´t you? - No, ignore her.
- No, no.
All right.
Don´t celebrate too soon, guys.
Not done and dusted, OK? Hold your horses.
Should I call a lawyer? There´s a swarm of them just beyond that glass.
Mr Lukic didn´t warn you we´d be asking you to support his alibi? No, he didn´t.
That doesn´t necessarily surprise me.
Oh? I can support his alibi.
I was with him at the Boston Hotel that particular Saturday.
We met about 9:30 and left sometime before 12.
Can you be a little more precise? About what? Er The time.
Not really, no.
Who paid for the room? It was my turn.
The credit card transaction says 11:43.
Give us two minutes to say, "Bye.
We really must do this again sometime.
" Puts us back out on the street at 11:45.
He went north.
I went west.
Sergeant, would you mind waiting outside for a few moments? Yes, ma´am.
Woman to woman.
I thought you might not be quite so frightened.
What´s he done? We´re investigating the brutal, sadistic murder of a young woman that took place that Saturday evening.
And you suspect Milan? How long have you known him? Two or three months.
We´ve met five or six times.
Where did you first meet? He´s my optician.
But you´re in a relationship.
How did that start? I went to have my eyes checked.
What I thought was going to be a dull chore turned out to be fun.
He´s very seductive.
Charming.
Extremely straightforward.
He knew what he wanted and he knew how to ask.
It was refreshing.
Did he talk about his marriage? Yes.
He cheats on his wife.
I doubt he gave me a second thought outside the times we were together.
But brutal and sadistic? No, I´m sorry.
Absolutely not.
It´s just not him at all.
And I would know.
So, 11:45 to 12.
It still gives us a 15-minute window in which he could have seen Samira.
She could have seen him.
- Do you want my honest opinion? - No.
You can see the hotel from here.
Sarah Ford said he was walking north in this direction.
Samira would have been on her way to work in the opposite direction.
She´s going to go in right there.
It would have been about 11:50, 11:55.
Let´s say that he saw her around about here.
Can you imagine that shock? He was He was certain she was dead.
And now she´s come back to haunt him.
She could ruin his new life.
But he hasn´t seen her for ten years.
She was a kid.
12 years old.
Maybe she looks very like like her sister did when she was 22.
Samira would recognise the man who raped and tortured her for four days.
So, she catches sight of him.
He walks on.
But he he´s not certain that she saw him.
He´s not even sure that it was her.
He´s got to make himself sure, otherwise it´ll gnaw away at him.
So So he can´t resist.
He looks back and sees her going into the hotel.
Now, we were getting close to him.
We made him admit that he was here that Saturday morning.
So he gives us Zigic.
He knew that Zigic was a loyal soldier.
He´d lay down to two murders.
Maybe we´d kill him into the bargain.
But there´s no link between Zigic and Lukic.
Zigic and Lukic.
I´ve found your massacre.
Are you serious? An Italian cameraman I used to hang out with heard I was digging around.
It´s the exact date and the details match.
He tried to sell the footage here, but it was er far too harrowing to be shown in British homes after dinner.
What button is it? - Er The triangle.
- Yeah.
Got it.
Oh, my And where does this take us? It shows that the massacre took place.
I think those two sisters were murdered to cover it up.
I think it´s essential that I go to Bosnia and I visit the site of the massacre to establish a link with Milan Lukic.
Oh, you think so? Well, I´ve studied his file.
And he´s been very carefully vetted.
All the more reason to go to Bosnia.
I think he´s the mind behind both murders.
That´s supposition without any evidence.
Yeah, that´s because the evidence is in Bosnia! How many current murder investigations are you managing? 24? Jane, I can´t sanction this in terms of time, money or just sheer effective policing.
You´ve got a suspect who´s confessed to both murders.
Close it.
Move on.
No way are you going to Bosnia! This is it.
You wait here.
Police.
They don´t much like foreigners sticking their fingers in old wounds.
Did they talk about the massacre? Maassaace? What massacre? Dali znate ovog covjeka? Ne.
Ask her if she was here in the summer of ´92.
Jeste li zivjeli ovdje u ljeto devedest droge? Ne.
Dali znate za masakr sto se ovde deiso? Ne znam o cemu govorite.
- Dovidjenja.
- Dovidjenja.
She´s lived here all her life.
There was no massacre, no paramilitary and she´s never seen him.
Erm Excuse me.
Ne.
Picku materinu govna odvratina, sta traze ovdje! - What are they saying? - Nothing helpful.
You´re not the force for good you imagine yourself to be.
A lot of people think they lost the war through meddling foreigners.
Are there any Muslims we can ask? I´m sorry I asked you to come back here.
I didn´t do any good here before and now I feel even more useless.
We´re never going to find out anything.
OK, let´s move on to where we know he studied.
- How far is it to Kraz - Krazinac.
- Krazinac.
- Four or five hours.
Oh! Maybe a little longer.
You told me I would never understand how he thinks.
I wouldn´t be able to get inside of his head.
I thought going to the factory would help.
All it did was terrify you.
- Sickened me.
- There´s hope for you yet.
I spent four years taking pictures of it and I miss it.
Tennison and West.
Room 7.
- There´s another room.
- Just a second.
Room 15.
You´re on the seventh and you´re on the eighth floor.
You´re welcome.
My floor.
It´s supposed to be an enduring legacy of all communist regimes.
Oh, Jesus! Excellent filing on everyone and everything.
It didn´t work for this population.
Sorry.
- Milan Lukic, yes? - Yes.
Milan Lukic completed an ophthalmic course here, then moved to England, Manchester.
Could I see? - Nothing else? - No.
Could you locate someone who worked and studied with him but still lives in the area? I´d be very appreciative.
You sit down here.
"Why don´t you sit here?" "Anything for you, Robert.
" Milan Lukic? Of course.
He´s alive? Yes, yes.
He´s living in London.
We were students together.
He went to study in England.
Came back when the war broke out to look after his father.
Then the idiot got himself drafted.
When was the last time you saw him? Mm Early on in the war.
We lost contact.
I heard rumours he was dead.
A very shy and gentle man.
Always writing terrible poetry.
Shy? This man? That´s not Milan.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Well, do you know who this is? - Dragan Jankovic.
- Dragan - Jankovic.
Jankovic.
Erm Well, how do you know him? He studied with us.
But he never completed.
I think there was some kind of family expectation that he would go into an uncle´s practice.
But he went into local government or somewhere he could scam money.
- Was he in the Army? - Not the regular one.
Too many rules.
In the beginning, we were quite distant from the war here.
Jankovic was one of the first, later to be known as, ´´weekend warriors´´.
They had contact with the paramilitary groups.
They´d keep their regular jobs but go off and play soldiers at the weekend.
Jankovic wasn´t interested in politics.
He wasn´t a nationalist.
It was just a sport to him.
Hunting Muslims.
Then I heard he disappeared.
We assumed he´d been killed.
What happened? He became an optician.
In North London.
Simon.
Simon, it´s me.
Listen, put a surveillance on Milan Lukic.
We´ve had a major breakthrough.
He isn´t who he says he is.
I´ll meet you tomorrow morning.
I want a squad meeting at eight sharp, OK? Good.
Bye.
Where does he think you´ve phoned from? Paris.
Where you´ll take me when this is all over.
Jane.
We´re needed over at Scotland Yard for a meeting now.
A meeting? Why? What´s the meeting about, sir? I´d be lying if I said I didn´t know.
Bosnia.
What the hell were you playing at? Come in, Jane.
- Take a seat.
- Sir.
Scratch your mark on those.
Official secrets.
It´s never been a problem for you before.
And then are we going to be introduced? Oh, I´m not important.
I just brought the forms over.
Obrad Stankovic.
Milutin Ksumovic.
Rade Vemic.
They have over 100 indictments for crimes against humanity.
The UN have been after them for years.
After a great deal of effort, time and money, they´ve got them.
But they wouldn´t have got them without information supplied by Milan Lukic.
Lukic has infiltrated a section of the Serbian community that has intelligence on the whereabouts of suspected war criminals.
He´s in position to be extremely useful in the future.
Milan Lukic´s real name is Dragan Jankovic.
He is also a war criminal.
He´s responsible for the rape of women and children as young as 12 and for the massacre of some 30 civilian Muslim men and boys.
You are correct about his name and cover.
We helped set it up for him, as well as securing him a position as an approved police interpreter.
We know the rumours.
The ´´weekend warrior´´, the massacre that you refer to.
None of them are true.
Probably difficult for you to appreciate the number of old scores that are settled by accusation in Bosnia.
We are aware of the unsubstantiated allegations made by one of the murdered sisters that she was a witness to the massacre.
But she identified Zigic, not Jankovic.
And if Dragan Jankovic is responsible for the murder of those two sisters? - He isn´t.
- I can produce evidence to prove that he is.
We don´t think you can.
Yes, well with respect, what you think is not the issue here.
I am the Senior Investigating Officer and it is a matter between me and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Yes, it is.
No question about that.
You became suspicious of Jankovic because of his role as a police interpreter.
You correctly deduced he was infiltrating the interview room.
There is, however, no other connection and no history between him and Zigic.
There are no records that will connect them.
And no contemporary evidence, either.
We have come to the conclusión that Zigic was acting alone and that the alibi provided by Mrs Jankovic for her husband proves conclusively that he is innocent of any involvement.
I do appreciate the desire to associate oneself with an historical tragedy is a very potent one.
It gives a sense of self-worth and importance.
I advise you to resist that urge.
You may not use anything that has been said here or deduce anything from what you have learnt to further your investigation.
To do so would put you in breach of the Official Secrets Act.
You may not tell anyone of what has happened here.
Is that clear? - Detective Superintendent Tennison? - Yes.
Yes, that´s clear.
- I had everyone here for eight.
- Get Zigic produced.
We´re charging him with both murders.
Guv, I had a thought.
The real Lukic lived in Manchester.
In four years, he must have seen a dentist.
I´ve been checking dental records.
No luck yet, but I´ve still got people getting back to me.
So - Are we going after him? - No.
No.
Not on the evidence we´ve got.
We´ll never secure a conviction.
Can we ask him who he thinks he is? With all the other investigations we´ve got, requiring time and money, no.
We will secure a conviction against Zigic.
Get him produced.
She´s been overruled? Come on.
Cheer up.
It´s a success.
Time to move on.
- Plenty of other cases.
- Tick, tick, tick, tick Tick, tick, tick, tick Oh, come on! I don´t know what to do.
Oh It´s a long time since I´ve heard that.
From what you´ve told me, you´ve done your bit.
It´s up to others now.
Oh That factory you went to where the two sisters hid amongst the dead.
You know I drove an ambulance in the War - You did know that, didn´t you? - Yeah.
Well, we got an order to go to a place called Belsen.
The name didn´t mean anything.
We didn´t know what a concentration camp was.
We never knew they existed.
We got there the day it was liberated.
April 15th, 1945.
Just before we pitched up, someone had seen a movement in this mountain of skeletons.
They pulled a little girl out.
She lived for a couple of hours.
So, we were given the orders to search through all the mountains, in case there were others.
Later on, they put a figure on it.
10,000 unburied corpses.
Well, we were ambulance men.
We were used to death, but I say skeletons but they weren´t just bones.
They were men, women, children They were being starved, gassed And because the incinerators hadn´t been working they were piled up like rubbish.
We didn´t find anything.
We didn´t find anyone.
I think that little girl must have crawled in, looking for somewhere to hide or somewhere quiet, so she could die in peace.
You know up until about the age of 12 you were an ángel.
You´d light up a room.
And then bang! Overnight, you were a teenager.
You ran us ragged.
And it got worse.
Anti-this, anti-that.
So certain, so bloody-minded.
You couldn´t leave anything alone.
You terrified me! But you know what? God knows, I did admire you.
I was so proud.
You had convictions.
Well, I buried mine at that camp.
When I came home, all I wanted was your mother, a steady job children and nothing to do with the evil I saw at that camp.
But here you are, having to deal with it again.
But you will.
You will.
You know what´s right and you´ll do it.
Thanks, Dad.
I know what I´m doing.
I just don´t know why I´m doing it.
Good morning, sir.
I´m DS Alun Simms.
I´d like you to come with me to a police station to answer some questions.
Questions about what? It will be explained to you, sir.
You know something? I don´t want to go.
Dragan Jankovic, I´m arresting you on suspición of the murder of Samira Blekic.
This is absolute nonsense.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence This, madam, is a warrant, which entitles us to search these premises.
What about my daughters? I have two small children.
I have to pick them up from school.
Social Services can take care of them or you can arrange for a friend or relative to look after them.
I´m sorry.
Totally out of the question.
Totally.
Susan.
Elizabeth Lukic, I´m arresting you on suspición of perverting the course of justice.
Superintendent, how are you? - For thne bernefit of thne video - What´s going on? She changed her mind.
Do you think that Hall knows about this? Good question.
Press that button and ask her.
Good morning, Mr Jankovic.
I must insist that you call my client by his correct name.
Lukic.
- Jankovic is not his name.
- Well, I believe it is.
For the record, I´m showing the suspect a document.
It´s the names of the students who studied ophthalmology in the University of Krazinac in 1987.
The names I´d like him particularly to note are Dragan Jankovic and Milan Lukic.
I have a written statement from a witness who will confirm the suspect´s identity as Dragan Jankovic, not Milan Lukic.
He goes under an assumed identity.
For the record, the witness´s statement is incorrect.
My name is Milan Lukic.
As I have told you, I have been vetted by the Metropolitan Police for work as an interpreter.
Yes.
Perhaps they didn´t do a very good job.
You´ll have to take that up with them.
I believe some fairly senior officers were involved.
For the video, I am showing Mr Jankovic a photographic record of the bodies of 26 men.
I believe he gave the order for these men to be executed.
My client has not been arrested in connection with these alleged crimes.
These questions are irrelevant.
They are relevants because I believe the murders under investigation were carried out to cover up this massacre.
Ridiculous! We have a witness who says that you were the leader of a paramilitary unit.
I went home to look after my father.
I was drafted into the Army.
I was not in the paramilitary.
Well, why don´t you tell me about your war? Did you kill? Yes.
Once? Twice? M ee? Many times.
And did you kill women and children? We all did.
Civilians get caught up in wars.
I believe we were all responsible for many deaths, in one way or another.
Did you ever strangle anyone? Superintendent, I really must insist Yes.
And was that a man or a woman? A young man.
A night-time operation.
I spent the rest of the night lying next to him in the trench.
It was a very cold, long night.
The reality of war.
Did you ever write about your experiences? You´ve done your research.
My poetry.
Guilty as charged.
Oh So sorry to keep you waiting.
I need to get home to my children.
Oh, yes, yes.
Of course you do.
I do understand.
We´ve discovered that your husband is living under an assumed identity.
His real name is Dragan Jankovic.
I understand, it´s a shock.
You won´t want to believe it.
We will be able to verify his identity in court.
You have been the victim of a very cruel fraud.
Your husband is not who he says he is.
I know exactly who my husband is.
I don´t think you do.
He´s a brutal, sadistic man, who committed atrocities in Bosnia, including the rape of a 12-year-old girl, who he subsequently murdered four weeks ago.
I think it´s best to let you absorb this.
I´ll I´ll leave you for a while.
- No, I need to get home to my children.
- Look and learn, children.
- Look and learn.
- I have to get back to my children.
Saturday 20th, you were at the Boston Hotel with Sarah Ford.
Yes.
You arrived at 9:30 and we know you left at 11:45.
Where did you go after that? Back to work.
And what route did you take? I walked to the underground station.
Passing the back entrance of the Radcliffe Court Hotel? That is the hotel where Samira Blekic worked.
She would have been walking towards you on her way to work between 11:45 and noon.
I do wish you´d wear the glasses I prescribed.
Eye strain can lead to headaches.
Create all sorts of serious problems.
You failed to complete your ophthalmic training, Mr Jankovic.
You are not a qualified optician.
Not true.
And I didn´t hear any complaints from you.
You set up your business with your wife´s money, didn´t you? She is my business partner.
Was your business partner aware of what you were up to on that Saturday morning? Not very good for business, is it? - The relevance of this is - The sense of power that must have given you.
To make people stand in a line and then walk down the line, making them shake hands with you, smiling, being charming.
Deciding who would die and who might live for just a little bit longer.
Very difficult to go back to your boring little life as an optician in North London after that.
I object to your attempts to humiliate my client! Oh, no.
This goes to the very heart of who Mr Jankovic is.
The war gave him a chance to be everything that he is truly capable of being.
All the normal rules and social constraints were gone.
That must have been a terrible shock that morning, to see that younger sister walking towards you.
I mean, you´d given orders that she should be killed.
But then maybe, maybe a sense of excitement.
The chance to experience that power again.
I´m an approved police interpreter, helping both my community and the police.
And this is how I am treated.
I understand.
I am a foreigner.
And I have to live with all the suspición and prejudice that goes with that.
But I will take my complaints to the highest police authority.
The very highest.
And I will pursue every officier who has been involved in this unfounded attack on myself and my family.
Hall.
Yup.
No, you did absolutely the right thing.
Yeah.
Jesus Christ! Do you trust your husband, Mrs Lukic? Lmplicitly.
Then would you mind telling me what he was doing on the morning of Saturday 20th May? He was at work.
Do you know a woman called Sarah Ford? She was with your husband on that Saturday morning.
The Boston Hotel, Hyde Park, between 9:30 and 11:45 in the morning.
I mean do you really trust him to tell you the truth? Oh Come on.
You´re holding onto something that you know is slipping away.
He´s lied to you again and again and again.
You´re innocent.
Just tell us the truth.
What time did your husband really come home? What happened to his clothes? Did he shower? How did he destroy them? You know the answers to these questions.
Your husband is in a room answering the same questions.
If he tells us the truth before you do, then you are going to prison for a very long time.
Chief Superintendent Lawrence Hall has entered the room.
What? He has handed me a note.
I am terminating this interview.
The time is 14:46.
Thank you, Mrs Lukic.
If I went into court only with that confessión, which I know is partly untrue, I´d risk everything.
I have to establish the truth.
This wasn´t evidence against Zigic.
You were going after Lukic.
It´s as if our meeting never took place! I thought it never did take place.
I was very careful not to use any information that I learnt at that meeting.
Why, Jane? Because those two sisters came to this country believing it to be safe.
They thought it was a country where decisions about who went free and who did not were decided in open court, not behind closed doors.
What about the bigger fish that Lukic can help us bring in? Well, maybe turning a blind eye to torture and murder will bring about bigger, better arrests.
I don´t know.
I have no control over that.
All I can do is deal with what´s in front of me.
Did it ever cross your mind you might be wrong? Yes.
You´re off this investigation.
Take a week´s leave.
God knows what the consequences of this will be.
Come in.
Superintendent Tennison is stepping down.
She´s taking a week´s leave for personal reasons.
I want you to take over.
Er Yes, sir.
Erm I´m actually pretty full-on with a river stabbing at the moment, sir.
Sir.
She will not communicate with you regarding this investigation.
Understood? Yes, sir.
I want Zigic´s CPS files for both murders submitted to me ASAP.
And er what about the other suspect, sir? There are none.
Thank you.
Madam.
Sir.
So, what´s he trading with? Information? I didn´t tell you he was trading with anything.
Well, if you can´t touch him and you´re not allowed to tell me why you can´t touch him, he must be.
There´s no other reason.
If I could have shown them that he´d murdered, on British soil, they would have dropped him.
- What? - I think you´re being naive.
They might not have wanted to look.
But if I´d shoved it down their throats, they´d have had no choice.
I cocked it up, Robert.
Twice.
Once in the interview room and again with the squad.
I didn´t bring them with me.
The way Hall walked in He was tipped off.
Do you know by whom? I can´t be certain.
How certain are you about Jankovic? Put it this way, if I was on a jury presented with the evidence that I´ve got on him, I´d let him walk free.
And he´s guilty.
It´s Samira and Jasmina´s funeral tomorrow.
I can´t be there.
Women aren´t allowed.
- Would you go for me? - Of course.
Tell Jasmina I´m sorry.
Hi.
My name is Robert West.
I´m a friend of Inspector Tennison.
She asked me to represent her here today.
She sends her condolences.
I think we should take his fucking eyes out first.
- You fucked it up for me! - Kasim asked questions.
Intelligent, direct, honest questions.
I wasn´t going to lie to him.
I told him what I´d found out.
Nothing came from you.
I didn´t put him up to it.
He came to his own conclusión.
He couldn´t find justice in this country.
Letting Zigic take the drop on his own and protecting Jankovic was an insult to the two women he murdered.
How´s this going to help them? I met a few ´´Jankovics´´ in Bosnia.
But I met a lot more ´´Kasims´´.
Broken, stuck, no redress.
The only way he´d have some kind of peace, a life with a way forward, was to feel that justice had been done.
What Kasim and his friends are doing to Jankovic now, is that justice? Yes.
- Kasim doesn´t have murder in him.
- What about the other men? What you´ve set into motion goes against everything I believe in.
Everything I stand for! I know.
Taff, I need a favour.
Yeah, we´re here now.
Who am I meeting? So, how´s it going? What with? With this case the river disco stabbing.
We´ve got a few leads.
I´m setting up a reconstruction.
Am I being set up here? Taffy told me where I could find you.
He doesn´t know why I´m here.
What´s happening with Jankovic? We´re looking for him.
We know Kasim was involved.
We´ve got some tenuous info.
There´s a slim chance Kasim might try and ship him back to Bosnia for some sort of trial.
We´ve got his cigarette route through Dover covered.
The source thinks it´ll be in the next 24 hours.
If we get confirmation, we´ll move on it.
I think you were doing the right thing, going after Jankovic.
Well, someone in the squad doesn´t.
They won´t know we´ve met.
So, how´s his wife taking it? Not good.
Not good at all.
I made a mistake.
I thought I could crack her, but it was never going to happen.
She was the weak link.
Jankovic made her safe somehow and I think I know how, but, of course, I can´t officially tell you.
I want another crack at her.
Simon, I need your help.
Thank you, ma´am.
- If I could be alone with her.
- Yes.
Thanks.
Mrs Lukic, I´ve I´ve come to apologise to you for the ordeal that I put you through.
- I have nothing to say to you.
- Erm I´ve come to assure you that everything possible is being done to find your husband.
He was taken because of your accusations.
Are you satisfied? Oh, God, no.
Of course I´m not satisfied.
Your husband´s entitled to a fair trial, just like anyone else.
You´re still accusing him? He is still wanted for questioning concerning two murders, yes.
Would you please leave my house? You´re not sorry about anything.
Oh, believe me, I am.
Actually I´ve seen a lot of cases like yours.
You´re not alone.
You´re in shock from discovering the truth about your husband.
At first, you cling on to this idea of who you thought he was, who you wanted him to be You have no idea about my husband.
No idea at all! You know, I came here on my own, today, on purpose, so we could speak off the record.
Anything you say to me I can´t use.
You can deny it was ever said.
Please, Mrs Lukic, please, please.
Just give me two minutes, please.
Well, we are trained not to become personally involved, but I do I just feel this overriding sense of responsibility to protect your two children from your husband.
You sanctimonious, meddling bitch! You know nothing about my husband.
Nothing at all.
I think I do, and I do understand something of the shame you must feel.
Shame? Shame? You stupid, stupid woman! I am proud of my husband.
He´s a man of principle.
He´s risked his life to bring war criminals to justice.
Do you know what moral conviction it takes to go against your own people, friends, men who trust you, to secure what you believe is right? Oh Oh, my God.
Oh, I I didn´t know.
My husband works for the British Government.
He is protected by the British Government.
Now get out of my fucking house! - How´s it looking? - Good.
They wouldn´t know an operation´s going on until well down the line.
Latest intelligence is it´s still likely to be a white van, but keep your eye out for anything.
Duscan, I´m not here to make you say anything.
Your commander Dragan Jankovic won´t be prosecuted.
Even if you tell the truth about him, it won´t make any difference.
But I I just wanted you to know who you were protecting.
Excuse me, love.
Check this van for me again, please.
Away from the van, please.
- This is - Step away from the van, please, sir.
No, no.
Get the dog away! There are shrouds in there! Burial shrouds! Transit van! Pulling away from lane 55! Back in the cars! Get in the cars, chaps! The white van.
White transit van.
All units now! - In the cars! Quick, chaps! - Right.
Sorry about that, boy! Come on, let´s go! - Can you get out, please? - No, no.
Switch your engine off.
Get out, please.
Quickly, get the driver! Quick! Move! Whoa, whoa! Come on, come on, come on! In the van, quick! Nothing.
- Fuck.
- Bollocks.
- You got a crowbar or something there, Taff? - Yeah.
- Hello, mate.
- You got him? Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you know what moral conviction it takes to go against your own people, friends, men who trust you, to secure what you believe is right? My husband works for the British Government.
He is protected by the British Government.
He tipped us off about where to find you.
He knew we´d come after you armed with guns.
He was hoping that we´d kill you.
And now he´s hoping that you´ll stay loyal to him.
Because loyalty is something you understand.
Don´t you, Duscan Zigic? But not him.
And that´s the difference between you.
I´m going to destroy that tape.
I was never here.
I never played it to you.
In my language it´s called a ´´viadukt´´.
A train that runs in the sky.
Hello, guv.
You back? Yeah.
OK.
You keep the copies.
I´ll take the original, OK? Thank you.
Well done, Lorna, for following through with this Lukic dental ID.
- What does she want those for? - Dunno.
Here.
We met him off the plane.
He was happy to see us.
Grateful.
We were giving him a lift to London.
He was on his way to his new job.
A new life.
Jankovic told me he was a traitor.
And of course I believed him.
I´ll need to tell them first.
Tennison isn´t just going ahead? Jesus Christ! When will I know where you are? I´ll have to tell them something.
You´ll know when you get told.
You do nothing, you say nothing.
Children don´t work like that.
They won´t accept you´ve just disappeared.
Mrs Lukic, as soon as your husband is settled, you´ll be able to join him.
But you won´t even tell me which country? That´s them.
Hello again.
Oh, God! Why don´t you just take care of these people? Dragan Jankovic, I´m arresting you for the murder of the real Milan Lukic.
The murder occurred eight years ago.
There was a witness to the murder.
The body was exhumed this morning and is now being formally identified using dental records.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you don´t mention Put that knife down, sir.
- Let her go! - No! Milan, no! Come on, sir.
Put her down, please, sir.
Put the knife down, please, sir.
Put her down.
Hold it, lads.
Hold it.
Put her down, please, sir.
Put her down.
The knife down.
Put it down.
Let her go.
Come on.
Look around.
Put her down.
Put the knife down, please, sir.
You don´t have to say anything.
However, it may harm your defence if you don´t mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
And you, madam, who might you be? Don´t ask.
Why couldn´t you leave us alone?
