Not just the hostages,
but also the likelihood of self-harm by the kidnapper.
And the development of Stockholm Syndrome,
named after a 1973 bank robbery that went wrong,
where the hostages ended up helping their kidnappers
against the police.
In extreme circumstances,
victims can develop an emotional empathy,
an understanding with the people -- with the person that's harming them.
Examples to back up that theory?
Uh ... Patty Hearst! Originally kidnapped,
locked in a cupboard and raped
by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army.
Ended up robbing banks with them.
Good. Why is it we do that?
What drives people like Patty to that position?
Well, isn't it victimization to the point of compliance?
Don't we all do what it takes not to be the victim?
Is that how you approached the Angelica Bain case?
I hadn't thought... um...
I was just prepared to do anything rather than...
... end up dead.
So your motivation was self-preservation.
So why do you still see her?
It's a unique opportunity --
my torturer is now my patient.
Oh! Tony Hill.
What state is the body in?
Not good. We've recovered some
bones, but identification's going to be difficult.
Of course. I've asked Tony Hill to take a look.
The last time I felt we could have done with him much sooner.
An early opinion could prove useful.
The two of you had a chance to catch up?
Carol?
Uh, no, no, we haven't spoken.
Did he say how he felt about coming back to us?
After what he went through last time?
Yeah.
Never mentioned it.
Can I tempt you, Jack?
No, no, no, too early for me.
Oh! He always says that.
Just the weekends.
Right, how am I doing? Am I a bit, um -
A wee bit flaky, as usual, darling.
Oh, gosh, speak for yourself, Granddad.
Right, next week, we will be doing the battle of
the chefs, so join us.
And The Ecstatics perform their new hit single.
And we will discover the sex secrets of Hollywood.
- We'll see you then. Bye-bye. - Bye.
Bye. That's it, thank you very much, studio -- off-air.
Don't worry about it.
Three times a week is a major opportunity.
You become the show to be seen on.
Now, Jack, I need you n Norwich by seven,
so if Jason's ready for you at half three?
Yeah, no problem.
I just want to avoid overexposure and overkill.
What was that in Norwich again?
You're opening a charity football match.
Jason will be there; you just turn up and be you.
That's why they love you.
What will we tell 'em?
I don't know. Ask Beth; she's in charge.
Oh, and sign this, will you?
The hospital wants to auction it at their charity ball.
Uh! Wait a minute.
This is the new stripes, not the one I wore when I played.
It says "Scotland," it's got your name and number. Does it really matter?
Yeah, it does matter. That's the sort of thing the fans notice.
The real fans, maybe, but not to those who pay 250 quid...
... for a black-tie dinner.
Thank you.
All right, folks, best behavior.
Okay, tits and teeth.
Right, thanks.
- What's your name? - Rachel.
Rachel.
Don't push. We'll get to everyone.
Hi. Who's that to?
Me.
Right.
Jack?
Yeah?
No. Just yours.
Jason, let's go. Bye!
Bye.
- Six weeks? - Mm-hmm.
And the network don't mind me being away?
No. No, in fact, they're all for it.
Good publicity for going three times a week.
But I thought I was promoting the book.
You will be -- it gives you an added angle for the local radio interviews.
You know how much time they have to fill.
Anyway,
the publishers have come through with places and dates.
It's comprehensive, exhausting.
- And that starts next Thursday? - Uh-huh.
And while she's away, Jack,
I need you to do a couple of things for me.
God.
It's the same person.
What does it say this time?
I thought we were weeding these out.
Sorry, I must have missed it.
You okay?
I think you get used to them.
Why should people think like that?
Why should they feel the need to be so --
Beth Morris.
Yes, hello.
Yeah.
Yes.
Hello.
Hi.
I did want to call and see how you were.
Why didn't you?
I did.
Really? I didn't get your message. I'm sorry.
I didn't leave one.
Not very good at that sort of thing.
Yeah, me neither.
You still seeing her?
My Angelica? Yeah.
We all have to face our demons sometime.
It's not very pleasant.
There's no need to protect me. I've seen bodies before.
I don't know how much help I can be,
but we'll only know by confronting the situation.
So, shall we?
Yeah.
Female, dark-haired. Five foot four...
Fifteen or sixteen. Been dead awhile.
Six, maybe even seven years. A test on the spores...
... from the gut should narrow it down a bit.
On those parts of the body not decomposed, no distinguishing marks.
Some missing hand bones,
again due to decomposition.
How did she die?
Difficult to tell. The water was deep and very cold,
but my guess is that her throat was cut.
This also seems to tie in with marks
in the muscle tissue still present around the neck,
but don't quote me on that.
She'd also received a compound fracture
of the cheekbone prior to death.
Obviously, you can't tell if she was raped?
Sorry.
And there are no clothes to identify her? No?
I photographed and imprinted the teeth.
So... dark-haired missing teenager.
Not the shortest list in the world.
She hadn't had any children --
that might narrow it down a bit.
She was wrapped, preserved, protected.
But apart from that, until you know more about a victim...
there's not a lot more I can tell you.
Great.
What about the other one?
What other one?
The other bones you found?
They were metacarpals from her missing fingers.
Unless she had three thumbs,
one of them's from another body.
- I'm going to grab a shower, okay? - Okay.
Great, what does everyone want for lunch?
Hello? Thanks for calling back.
Not too spicy.
Oh, no, the dog hasn't got out again, has he?
Haven't seen him.
Chester! Chester!
Amanda?
- I'll call you back. - No!
Amanda!
What is it?
Oh, my God.
Yes, it's her.
She's your victim.
Her name's Louise Locke.
Age 15 when she went missing in 1996.
Never turned up to school one day, was seen...
... on the train with an overnight bag.
The feeling was she'd run away.
Where's she from?
I suggest we go for the families up in Marston.
We'd better get up there. Where's Tony?
He's gone. He had to see a patient.
Well, we'd better get onto him.
I don't want to have to brief him later ...
Good, you're still here.
Not for much longer, sir.
We've just had an I.D. on the girl in the tarn.
You have?
Well, that means the investigation should carry on without you.
I'm sorry?
I need you on another inquiry, Carol:
Jack and Amanda Vance. They've been receiving hate mail,
but it's developed into something different.
They came home to find their dog with its throat cut.
Amanda Vance? I'll comfort her.
Well, now you can see why you were the only man for the job.
Thank you, sir; that's so reassuring.
Don't know why you're smiling; you've got Tony Hill.
You got any cigarettes?
You can't smoke in here.
Afraid I'll die of cancer before my trial?
The fag wants a fag, you fuckers!
Wouldn't want to lose you, Angelica.
Course not. I'm the torturing freak.
A celebrity. You said you wanted to be part of me.
Well now you've got me, I hope I don't disappoint.
Is it confinement that makes you angry?
You tell me. I like a captive audience.
You're the one who gave me the most pleasure.
You still took the most pain.
But now our roles are reversed.
You're the one being held against your will.
You're not the only person in my life, Angelica.
And you got this today?
In the mail opened for the show.
And it came here.
Usually Jason weeds them out.
Today was a studio day, it didn't happen.
How long has this been going on?
Um, about five or six months.
It comes with the territory of being on television. People
let you into their homes, not all of them like you.
Normally, you don't think anything of it.
They'd become increasingly more disturbing.
Jack and I decided it was best if Amanda didn't see them.
I'd like to see them if you've still got them.
I'll have them sent over.
As soon as you can.
At the moment, they're all we've got to go on.
Have you noticed anyone loitering outside the house?
We get the odd person,
walk up the drive out of curiosity.
And did you know that the alarm was switched off?
When we're late, we sometimes forget to switch it on.
And when you came back, there was no sign of a break-in.
It was just you two and Jack, yeah?
And Jason.
And where is he now?
With Jack in Norwich -- Jack didn't want to go,
but we felt it was too late to cancel it if I had stayed ...
And have all these letters been targeted at you, Mrs. Vance?
I don't know, I've only seen --
Yes. Yes, they have.
Mr. Vance hasn't received any letters?
Not of a threatening kind, no.
His are mostly from teenage girls and housewives.
I'll arrange for an officer to stay with you.
Would you?
Uh, can we discuss it with Jack?
We might want to increase our own security.
Yeah, of course.
Mrs. Locke?
- Yes. - Detective Sergeant Don Merrick,
Bradfield police. This is Dr. Tony Hill --
Louise?
I'm sorry.
What do you remember about that morning, Mrs. Locke?
Mrs. Locke?
It was ordinary.
And that's what I'll always remember,
how an ordinary day can suddenly change your life.
We got up, I got up.
That day, I didn't have to wake her; she was already in the bathroom.
She had breakfast. I came down, and she reminded me
that she were going to Laura's after school.
And then she left. And that were the last time...
And I hate it... that ...
the last thing she told me were a lie.
S-she didn't go to Laura's.
She got on a train.
But she was a bright girl, wasn't she?
Yes.
She were doing that GCSEs.
Well, a hard worker. Usually home on time?
You didn't row?
So she was a lovely girl.
She was. A good girl.
Then maybe we shouldn't hold that one lie against her.
Her clothes.
She took a toothbrush and one change of clothes?
Skirt and top.
When would she normally have worn those?
They were her best.
Girl from a one-parent family, no real pressures at home,
not a drug taker, never been in care,
and loved her mother.
Who one day hides a bag from her with her best clothes in it.
I don't think she'd run away; she left here to meet someone.
YOUR NEXT BITCH!
Beth.
Oh, good, you saw the note.
Yeah.
You know, Amanda should never have got that.
I know, but Jason's normally so comprehensive at sorting them out.
But it won't.
... It's your responsibility.
Yes, I know.
Sleep okay?
Beth gave me some tablets. Didn't even hear you come back.
Yeah, I was late. You know how it is. How you feeling?
Police seem certain it's this bastard who sends the letters.
Yeah, I heard -- spoke with Beth.
Listen, Amanda, I don't think we can take any risks.
We need to get some outside security until it's all over.
And when is it over? When he kills me?
When they arrest him. And they will.
Try not to think about it, all right?
Try not to think about somebody breaking in
and murdering our dog?
Try not to think about somebody hating me,
despising me, wanting me dead?
What sort of person is this, Jack?
Someone who's sick.
And nothing's going to happen, all right?
Well, I'm not hiding.
Don't think I'm going to stay locked inside this house,
because I'm not giving this weir do the satisfaction of controlling how I behave.
Okay. Okay. That's fine.
That's absolutely fine.
All I'm asking is don't do anything reckless, yeah?
Okay.
- Here you are, sir. - Thank you.
Hi.
For Detective Inspector Jordan.
From Jack and Amanda Vance.
DI Jordan? I'll take it, I'm going past.
All right, Kev.
Cheers, mate.
We've got one body -- Louise -- and part of another body.
- Yeah. - We know Louise got on a train.
We also know she had a fractured cheekbone.
And we know where her body was found.
Louise left home to meet someone.
Whoever she met, it was illicit.
Otherwise, why lie to her mother?
Well, maybe her mum didn't approve.
When I was her age, I did loads of
stuff my mum wouldn't have approved of.
But your mother didn't approve
because she had knowledge of the person you were going to meet.
Louise's mum didn't.
Now, Louise lied to protect the person she was going to meet.
My guess is, if we find this other body, it's female,
same age, and died in exactly the same way.
You sure?
Well, the chain of events that led to Louise's death
are already very distinctive -- she changed her habits.
Someone influenced her behavior.
So it's a reasonable assumption that if
the killer follows the same pattern --
The victims do, too.
We just need to know where they died.
Yeah. The tarn's our dump site.
So where was the sighting on the train? And where was she going?
And did she get there?
Excuse me a moment.
Kevin. To what do we owe this pleasure?
From Jack and Amanda Vance.
Suppose they couldn't afford a pigeon
so they used the nearest life form.
So ... three months' salary; must have been quite a setback.
Well, it could have been worse.
Could have been fined and put back into uniform.
Thank you for speaking for me.
I'd hate to see a good officer go to waste.
Hopefully, you'll never do anything quite so stupid again.
Well, I'll see you around.
What's that?
It's for the Vance case.
- Who? - Amanda Vance, from the television.
Married to Jack Vance, also on television,
ex-Scotland football player.
Oh, yeah.
She's got a stalker's killed her dog.
This is hate mail.
Oh, why didn't you say?
You want me to have a look?
Guv -- the divers found a pelvis.
It's from a young female.
Anything else you want to go through?
Oh, sorry.
It's a weakness I have when people leave the room.
I might have noticed it again. I know how obsessive you can be.
I don't think I'm obsessive.
No?
Okay.
Apart from your work, your patients,
and Angelica, what else is in your life?
Why? What else is in yours?
Come on then, what do you make of these letters?
They come from all over the country.
Well, obviously. So they either travel with work, or
- Legenda não traduzida -
they stalk Jack and Amanda as they move around the country.
I'll get a copy of their schedule.
There's no doubt that these are from the same person?
None at all. It's the same handwriting, same language strands.
"Bitch die, die bitch."
What we have here is a delusional stalker.
"Get out of our lives ... We hate you."
- "We want you to die." - Us?
- Two people? - Oh, no.
The stalker's fixation is singular; it's theirs alone.
You know, they perceive a relationship where none exists.
It's stalker and victim.
When he has a third party -- we, ours, us --
Amanda is the object of hate.
And the stalker's fixation is with someone else entirely.
So Amanda is not the person being stalked;
she is the person being hated.
Exactly. The stalker believes they're in love with someone and
feels they're being kept apart, and for that, they're blaming Amanda.
So who's this other person, then?
Well, it could be anybody.
John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan to
show his love for Jodie Foster, who he'd never met.
So she's in that much danger?
If Amanda worked in a close assignment,
like a school or an office,
it would be easier, but because she's on television
... and available to millions
violence stems from a perceived snub or rejection.
The stalker's felt that -- they killed the dog.
Any more rejections, yes, she's in danger.
Oh! You all right?
No.
It has to be the same person.
It could have also been a simple road traffic accident that
happens to coincide with these threats.
She did a u-turn in the middle of the road.
Someone could have just hit her and then drove off.
But whichever it is, I promise you,
we'll get the person responsible.
Look, yesterday they were in here killing our dog.
Today they're ramming Amanda's car.
I mean, what do you think they've got planned for tomorrow?
We're doing all we can.
Aye. Let's just hope it's enough, eh?
Have you ever seen anyone following her?
People follow us all the time. It's part of the job.
Pick out the usual faces, but they're no problem.
We'll be in touch as soon as we have something.
Guv.
What are you after?
I know what I did was wrong.
I know it's down to me, and I'm prepared to carry the can, but...
if you could just give me something.
Ahem, you know, anything, to prove to you, to upstairs, that...
I'm better than this.
Okay.
Some bloke's driven into Amanda Vance's car and then just driven off.
check the street cameras.
It's already been done, but they may have missed something.
Yeah, local businesses have cameras.
Good. I want that car found, understood?
And you'll have a word with Brandon for me?
One step at a time, Kevin.
You'll notice that we've got exactly the same type of compound
fracture of the cheekbone that Louise Locke had.
Not done by a sharp instrument. Something flatter but with
considerable force.
Is it from the same body as the pelvis and hand bone?
They're the same age.
They're in the same condition and look to
have been there the same amount of time.
Also, it's female, like the pelvis.
My hunch is, yes, they belong to the same body.
Wrapped,
preserved,
protected.
If we knew who she was,
we'd compare characteristics with Louise's.
This gives us the killer's method,
and with a method, we have personality ...
And with a personality, we have a profile.
We're doing all we can, Tony.
There are no shortcuts.
I think there's something else with this girl Louise.
Same age, same fracture to the left side of the cheekbone,
and I don't think it ends there.
And for that, we need an I.D.
Can we reconstruct her -- her face from her skull?
Well, usually we wouldn't do that till after we'd done the lists,
TV, press appeals...
In the meantime, he's out there, he's selecting, he's choosing and killing.
What she looks like is all I need.
Okay.
This type of stalker will repeatedly visit sites
of special importance to the object of their fixation --
where they live, where they work, where they go on holiday.
So even before they'd killed the dog, they would have been to that house.
They would have been in the house. In the garden -- they'd have been everywhere.
They're a walking encyclopedia of knowledge of this person.
And he's not afraid of taking risks.
He believes they have to be together.
He?
Oh, the language is definitely male.
He's certainly known to the police.
Previous convictions, ABH,
assault on men and women.
So he's sexually confused.
Well, sex, that's got nothing to do with it.
He's delusional about a relationship, not sex.
So...
if Amanda's the person who's preventing this relationship,
who is he fixated with?
With Jack.
She's his wife.
Could be.
So this skull, you said you had something on it.
Uh, cheekbone fracture,
always on the left side.
So he's right-handed.
They're facing him when he hits them.
Try it.
Try hitting two people in exactly the same place,
inflicting exactly the same injury.
Well, that's virtually impossible.
Unless you're restrained, tied up.
And these similarities between the girls you keep talking about?
We'll know when we see the face.
I've only got the first four digits of the number plate,
but when you cross-reference those with the
which belong to a flame-red Ford Fiesta, paint residue results,
I've come up with these.
- Good. - What's going on?
Three possibles, Don.
Check these names out against previous convictions.
I already did that.
Graham Ian Dowling,
previous convictions for burglary, indecent exposure, and
and assault on a woman.
Don, Annie?
It's the police, Mr. Dowling.
Mr. Dowling?
Ladies and gentlemen,
will you please give a big warm Dilton welcome to Mr. Jack Vance!
Take it easy; you'll all get a chance.
Let them through.
There you are.
What's your name, darling?
- Donna. - Donna.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna.
That's my mother's name, you know, Donna.
Where's your boyfriend, eh?
I haven't got a boyfriend.
Yeah, no problem.
Okay, sweetheart.
I'm next!
Easy mate, easy.
- Easy, easy. - Me!
It's Graham.
Stop pushing!
Okay.
No manners, Jack.
- There you go, pal. - There you go.
Thank you very much. Let him come through.
How accurate is it likely to be?
Oh, fairly accurate.
Bone structure is everything.
I adjusted the plaster cast of the skull
to eliminate the fracture to the cheekbone.
It's incredible, Sandra.
Thank you.
Just didn't want to say it.
Say what?
It's the same girl.
No,
it's a different girl.
A woman who looked like these two girls
was once important to our killer.
And probably rejected him.
The way he injures them, I think, is revenge for
the pain and suffering he felt.
They're about the same age, late teens, early 20s?
I think the age of the victim's only relevant
because girls of this age...
they're impressionable and malleable.
And the fractured cheekbones that's bound up with rejection.
We think we've got an I.D. on the second victim.
She matches the description of a Sonia Wilson, 16, from Devon.
Left home to go to school one day, never showed up,
took one change of clothing?
Presumed runaway, yeah.
Went missing in 1995.
If she died shortly afterwards, Tony, then you're right,
she was the first victim.
Of those we found.
With each of these victims, he's refined his
method of disposal. With Sonia,
simply weighted down in the water, but with Louise,
he's shown more care, he wrapped her and he preserved her.
And in six years, there's no way this killer has not been active.
Learning with each victim,
he'll have found a new method of disposal.
Might even keep them close to home
to minimize the risk.
These killings are planned.
Vell, we're looking at a male from mid-20s upwards.
Okay, listen, time's of the essence.
Cross-check any disappearances in similar circumstances.
See if anything matches up with Sonia or Louise.
Oh, they trusted him.
You don't travel to meet someone if you don't trust them.
Okay, listen, how are we doing on finding Dowling?
That was exactly what I needed:
sleep, sleep, and more sleep.
When you were taken to hospital,
I was so frightened. I thought...
Don't think, Beth.
I feel fine, I am fine, he didn't get me.
The police reckon they've got a suspect.
They know where he lives and it will only be a matter of time.
Then we can just carry on, can't we,
as though nothing's happened.
There's no need to cancel the book tour,
there's no need to change anything.
Just carry on?
Exactly as before.
Guv,
two of the missing girls on the list
disappeared in similar circumstances to Louise and Sonia:
Melanie Pearson from Liverpool and Karen Lloyd from Newport.
Virtually identical.
Similar backgrounds, similar disappearance.
Certainly, similar death.
We've got four.
Six,
you missed out on Hull and Cardiff.
Susanne Mills and Rachel Bowman.
Also presumed runaways.
Rachel was four months ago.
How did you get onto these?
Well, you know I'm fond of the press.
I've got a friend at one of the Nationals.
Crime desk?
No, Entertainment,
because there's another link,
apart from the fact that they all look similar.
It was on one of the desks there right under our nose:
Jack and Amanda Vance's appointment diaries.
The stalker cut the dog's throat with a knife,
and Vernon said that's how the girls were killed.
Sorry, but I don't see the connection between these women
and Amanda Vance's stalker.
Each of the girls has gone missing
just after Jack and Amanda
I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
I've highlighted all the appointments after which the girls went missing.
It's all here.
All six, regular intervals.
Do we have proof that they actually met them?
Well, no,
but if you were their age
and Jack Vance were in your area, wouldn't you?
Not enough.
Could it be this bloke Dowling that's killed them?
Tony?
Yes, it's possible. Tony?
Yes, it's possible.
Use of knife, use of water.
He stalker's fixated with Jack, he wants Jack to himself,
he wants Amanda out of the way.
If these girls meet Jack
and if Dowling sees this...
remember, this is a man reading signals that aren't there...
he could easily misinterpret the attention Jack gives them for...
affection ...
... and believe they have to be got rid of.
I want this guy Dowling found and arrested.
Is he injured or disabled in any way?
If he isn't, he will be when I get hold of him.
Does it matter?
Doesn't explain the cheekbone.
He's proved himself to be a vicious bastard. That's enough for me.
Did you give the police the letters?
Yes.
All of them?
Most,
those they needed to see.
And those they didn't?
Safe.
Why? Was that wrong?
No.
No, I don't think so. Do you?
It scares me that that creep knows about us.
How?
I don't think we should complicate things.
No.
I just wish we could be honest about us.
So do I. It's just,
it wouldn't achieve anything.
We've worked so hard for this.
Think of what it would do to Jack.
Was your idea I married him in the first place.
You're not thinking of saying anything, are you?
No.
Just once in a while,
it would be nice to walk beside you and not behind you, that's all.
I'm going to make some calls.
What is it?
It's nothing.
It's nothing at all. Come on.
Hi, Mr. Vance.
Olá.
- Hi, Jack. - Hiya.
Didn't I just meet you at the sports store?
That's me.
Uh, what was your name again?
Don't you remember?
I've headed too many footballs, bad for the memory.
You, uh ...
You want me to spell it out for you?
Um ... you shouldn't be here, you know.
Don't always do what I'm told.
Right.
Jason. Could you, uh, could you
get this young lady a cab home, please?
No problem. Come on.
Whereabouts do you live?
Here in Dilton.
Then how about I give you a lift on Mr. Vance?
D O W L I N G
Dowling, Graham Ian Dowling.
Any information you've got...
I need to speak to him.
Yes, well, if you could now, it's very important, yes...
Graham Dowling.
Yeah, I'll hold.
If you're killing them, what have you done with the bodies?
If you're not afraid of risk, why haven't we found them?
Hidden in water.
Wrapped and hidden in water.
Put a dog in a bath.
What's up?
Oh, just trying to make sense of it.
Got him!
He works for a security company,
Holdfast Security.
They haven't seen him for a day or so,
but guess what he's rota-ed to be doing...
he's meant to be protecting
Amanda Vance at a book signing.
This afternoon.
How nice to meet you.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
Nice to meet you, and I'm just going to be...
Come on!
Stay close, give me your car keys.
What's going on?
No, look.
Where have you seen him?
No, look at him.
He's here, he's meant to be protecting you.
Are you sure?
He's not in the building.

Really,
there's no need.
Beth's here.
Are you sure?
Night, then.
What?
Beth?!
My interest in her is strictly professional.
Yeah, yeah.
What's going on?
Darling,
don't piss about. I'm not in the mood.
Beth?
Beth Morris.
Jack and Amanda's manager, single,
lives alone.
It appears no one else was in the house.
- Had she had sex? - Not as far as we know, no.
I think she just got out of the shower.
The fatal wound occurred at the front of the bed.
Multiple stab wounds, an explosion of anger,
but calm and precise after death.
So a killer surprises her, kills her.
Then takes her to a chair and widens her legs.
Gets some clothes, leaves them, drapes them, creates a scene.
Legs apart facing the door.
She didn't have sex.
Why didn't the killer just leave her?
Why sit her in a chair and with her legs apart?
No, this was meant to shock -- that's all.
- Where'd you find the dog? - Bathroom.
- His name's Graham Dowling - - Excuse me.
He's lived here for six months ...
Don -- take a look at this.
Shit.
More hate mail.
One he didn't send.
Neighbors haven't seen him for the past few days,
not since the crash.
He hasn't shown up at his brother's,
and he hasn't shown his face at work.
Find his bank details...
and see if they'll tell us where he's drawing cash.
Yeah, it's Merrick.
But listen,
can you put out a description for a Graham Ian Dowling,
and his car details
wanted on suspicion of murder.
Make sure the boys know to be careful if they find this guy.
He's extremely dangerous.
Kevin --
Guv --
divers found these in the tarn.
We think they're from the girls.
They're identical. Look --
clasp's broken on that one.
Give it to Forensics, see if it was ripped from her neck in a struggle.
I'm sorry to have to bring you in like this.
I just thought we could talk more freely.
Hotels can be a bit public.
No, that's fine by us; it's good to get out.
Coffee, Mrs. Vance?
Okay, right -- I apologize in advance. Some of the questions...
I'm going to have to ask you might seem quite insensitive,
but it's my job to put them to you. Okay?
Have you ever seen this man?
Is this him?
I'm afraid I can't tell you that. I just need to know if you've seen him.
Yeah, I've seen him. He was in Dilton yesterday.
You're positive?
Absolutely.
He knocked this girl out of the way.
- What girl? - She was about 18, I guess.
I was doing a photograph with her.
This guy just practically threw himself at us, pushed her out of the way.
- But ask Jason; he was there. - Yeah, I will.
And did you see him leave?
No,
I just remember the incident. I don't know what happened afterwards.
"You can only draw the conclusion that different crimes
"have different perpetrators,
once it's established that underlying the murder -- "
Thank you, Jenny.
"That underlying the murder, the reason, the drive behind it is different."
- And what do we call this? - The signature.
That's right, the signature is different when we have different killers.
What happens if the same person kills, but has a different motive?
Would the signature be different?
No, the modus operandi would be different.
But if you've killed before, your previous experience will override the motive,
and somewhere amongst it, you will leave a trademark.
Excellent, excellent.
Go on.
And you don't know the girl's name?
No, I mean, I probably did ask her.
But Jason might know; he got her a cab home. Is this relevant?
Well, there was no sign of a forced entrance,
so either Beth let her killer in, or he had keys.
Who else has keys?
It's just ourselves, Beth and Jason, yeah?
And he was with you yesterday?
Yeah, yeah, I mean, he always comes with me.
I mean, I do a lot of travelling, and it helps to have someone drive.
Okay.
Right, was Beth in a relationship?
I don't see where all this is getting us. Beth is dead.
You know who killed her. He tried to kill me.
Why don't you try to find him?
We are, Mrs. Vance. I'm just trying to fill in the background.
- Was Beth in a relationship? - No.
Had she recently split up with anyone?
No, I've never known her be involved with anyone.
What about you, Mrs. Vance?
Me neither.
Dr. Hill?
BETH KNIFE / SEXUAL
No, no, keep going. You're doing really well.
Apply that to the hypothetical model.
Okay, well, in the hypothetical model,
I'd be worried that the killer of the girls hides their bodies,
but the killer of the woman
left her exposed so graphically.
But what are the common factors apart from the slit throats?
The care taken with the bodies after death.
And the killer of the woman is definitely a previous killer.
They've had previous experience with a body.
But in the case of the missing girls, you have a developing learning
experience in how they're disposed of.
And central to all this is that
the same people link all the deaths.
So even though it's a different
type of death and discovery,
they're very probably linked.
But with a different motive.
Revenge against the person represented by the girls.
And anger directly with the woman.
That's very good. Thank you.
DOG KNIFE / BLOOD
I'm still not sure about the dog.
Mum, I'll see you later.
All right, love; take care.
- Hey, Donna. How are you? - Hiya.
Forensics have come back on the crucifixes.
- Good. - Carol --
Hang on.
One is consistent with having been
torn from around the neck, but there's no direct link to the girls.
Well, do you know where we buy them?
Most cheap accessory shops.
Don, have you found anything with Dowling yet?
There's nothing. We're waiting for his bank to get back to us,
but there's no sightings. He's just disappeared.
Well, he must be somewhere -- get on to the ports, airports,
try the passport office.
Yes, Tony?
I don't think he'll have done that.
He's never going to be too far away from Jack; he wants to be close to him.
Why would he leave the country?
Okay, how close is close?
Well, he needs to be with him or feel
he's with him when driven by the compulsion,
so I'd say ...
... an hour... 40 miles.
Great, a circle with an 80-mile diameter.
Easier to say "somewhere in the north," isn't it?
Probably, but at least you're not looking in Spain.
They're faxing statements, but the last we've got is,
twice used a cash machine in Seaford.
Great! Get round the hotels, circulate his description.
He must be staying somewhere.
What is it you wanted?
SEAFORD
Go on; you'll be late.
I'll see you tomorrow.
KNIFE / BLOODBATH
WATER
Where have you kept the letters?
Three, three, three ... Three, three, three, three, three, three, one.
An obsessional-delusional stalker -- three, three, three, three -
Two, three, none?
But sometimes one, two, none?
Some of these are missing.
WHORE! LESBIAN! DYKE!
I didn't expect you to be here.
What do you think?
It's perfect.
How long are you going to keep me waiting here?
- I can't do anything. - Would someone understand the urgency?
- My daughter is missing. - Mrs. Perry, I'm sorry.
I know -- take a seat.
Can I help?
Are you a policeman?
Sort of. This your daughter?
Yes. Donna.
She's 17.
Is this recent?
Yes, last month at Dilton College.
You're from Dilton?
Yes.
Well, she left for college this morning,
but she never got there.
I looked in her room. She'd taken her bag.
It's not like her to do that.
Same age, same appearance, and she's from Dilton.
She went to Jack Vance's open-store day yesterday.
She looks like the others.
And went missing in the same way.
Dowling was there yesterday.
Mrs. Perry -- I'm Detective Inspector Jordan.
For me?
Yeah.
Moment I saw it...
I thought of you...
to remind you... of here.
Do you think she's still alive?
I think there's a strong possibility.
Okay, she was seen buying a train ticket to Five Walls Halt;
that's three miles from Seaford.
It's a build-up. It's like a romance.
He makes them travel, he takes them somewhere,
he gives them a trinket,
crucifix, token of his affection.
Then they have sex,
and then he turns.
How long do we have before he kills her?
Now let's be old-fashioned and say they have sex tonight.
At the earliest, he'll kill her in the morning;
at the latest, a week.
If he treats her differently, might we have longer?
Well, the only time he's departed from this pattern,
he killed swiftly, ruthlessly, and in anger.
There was no trinket, no affection, just pure hate.
The one thing I don't understand, if it's Dowling...
why's he treating them kindly?
Beth and the dog, I can understand--that is pure Dowling.
The girls and Beth by the same person--that makes sense.
But all three together -- ?
What are you saying?
There's inconsistencies.
Like Beth not giving you all the letters.
Are you sure about that?
Yes!
Good.
They found Dowling.
Get up!
- Where is she? - Don -
Bag it. We'll have it tested.
You bastard, what have you done with her?
Bitch!
- Fuckin' slut! - No! Get off me! No! No!
Let me go! Please!
How do you know Jack Vance?
We're friends. Quite close friends.
We talk.
Do you write?
Uh, to each other, yeah, all the time.
He likes it when I write.
He looks forward to my letters every day.
Every day?
Every other day.
No delivery Sunday, three times a week.
I always leave a gap so he has time to write back.
- Always three times a week? - Always.
Told you.
And, um... does Mr. Vance write back to you?
Of course.
Um, he tells me what he's been doing, and...
That's okay, he's just lying to protect his own self-image.
Try and keep the conversation on Jack.
Oh, really? I'd like to see those letters.
Careful, Carol, that's threatening.
And, um, when did your relationship with Mr. Vance start?
Eight years ago.
How did you meet?
He looked at me while I was watching him on television.
He waved to me.
Do you write to anyone else in the house?
- No. - What about Mrs. Vance?
Ever write to Mrs. Vance?
Her, only when Jack wants me to.
Does he ask you to?
He didn't have to ask,
I know when he wants me to.
Does Mrs. Vance write back?
She has never replied or acted on my advice.
Oh, really. What advice do you give her?
Not so direct, Carol.
Have you ever asked her to get out of Jack's life?
She has to go.
You've been to the house, haven't you, Mr. Dowling?
Carol? You doing this on purpose?
Does this thing work?
You've been inside their house, haven't you?
You're pushing him too far, Carol.
Bitch, bitch, bitch.
You know, you know, you know
what she does... to Jack?!
The whore!
Behind Jack's back, Bitch! Bitch!
- She's a whore! - Back off!
Oh, shit!
- Get off! - She's a whore!
- Calm down, Graham,
- listen, hey! - She's a whore!
- Just calm down, Graham. - She's a whore!
How do you and Jack cope, not being together?
It's hard for both of us.
But nothing we can't overcome.
Would you ever do anything to hurt him?
Of course not. I love him like a brother.
Could you prove your love if I tested you?
You see, I'm not sure how else to believe you.
If you were really close, you'd know a lot about him.
Oh, like what?
Okay... um, tell me something about the house.
How many toilets downstairs?
Uh, uh, two. No, three.
In Beth's room, is it curtains or blinds?
- Curtains. - Carpet or lino?
I don't know.
Jack's given you the key.
Not yet; that's when I move in.
How do you get in?
There's a faulty catch in the utility room window.
How long has Jason worked for them?
Oh, since he, oh, since he left --
oh, don't tell me, um -- Catering College.
- How many women live in the house? - Two.
How many dogs are there?
Of course he killed the dog. You saw his reaction,
but he doesn't know Beth's dead.
He still thinks there's two women in the house.
Well, why would he get that wrong?
He's an obsessive, you said. He prides himself on knowing.
The utility room window had a security
lock fitted after the dog attack.
I don't care, I still think he's a credible suspect.
Okay,
why?
Is his post-offense behavior different from
his pre-offense behavior?
Is he violent within a stable relationship?
Does he have any relationships?
You're joking, aren't you?
Our killer's intelligent, Carol.
Has a handicap and outwardly maintains a normal relationship,
but there's violence, and it's sexual violence.
Beth's murder was a sexual warning.
The abduction and the murder of the girls and of Beth
was carried out by the same person, but with different motives,
and that person, it wasn't Graham Dowling.
So who are we looking for, then?
Someone close to the house who didn't need to break in.
Just walked in through the front door.
We found a bloodstained knife at the Vance house.
It's got Jason's fingerprints on it.
Look, I'm not a fool, so don't treat me like one.
Please just let me go.
No, I can't do that,
see, that's what they all do.
You know, suddenly, they just leave me.
I just want to go home.
I was originally going to do this room in blue.
I thought it wouldn't be warm enough, you know?
But I, I think this works, don't you?
What color's your bedroom?
Purple.
Purple? Is it?
Just like ours, eh?
That's nice.
Tell me you love me.
I love you.
Okay, we know that she was heading for Five Walls Halt.
What we don't know is, did she get there?
The fact that two bodies have already been found in the tarn near
Five Walls Halt suggests that somewhere in that area
is the killing ground.
We know that she's been with him or imprisoned by him for
nineteen hours.
She's out there... hopefully, still alive --
we've just got to find her. Okay?
Don't assume it's Jason, Carol. Okay?
Look, Tony, what was missing with Dowling was hard evidence.
You were right, I was wrong.
But... undeniably, your fingerprints were found on the knife, Jason.
- Why did you kill her? - I didn't.
The knife was covered in Beth's blood.
The blade matches the wounds inflicted on her body.
How did your fingerprints get there if you didn't hold the knife?
I don't know.
What were you doing before you joined Mr. and Mrs. Vance?
I was at college.
- Studying? - Catering.
And when you enrolled on the course,
aren't you supposed to provide yourse lf with a set of professional kitchen knives,
the make of which is stipulated by the college?
The answer is, Jason, yes, you are.
The knife that killed Beth, the knife with your fingerprints on it,
is one of those knives.
Are any of yours missing?
I don't know.
All I want from you is for you to tell me the truth.
I am, I have done.
Annie --
I've got some gaps I need you, I've got some gaps...
I've got some gaps I need you to fill in.
Did Jack play football for Scotland?
You know he did.
No, I don't. I'm not a fan.
Oh, 65 caps, 27 goals.
Sounds good.
Oh, aye, he was the best player of his generation.
We found the knives, Jason, in your wardrobe.
I haven't used them for years.
And Donna Perry's address and phone number written by you
in your room.
Then he messed it all up by marrying Amanda, didn't he?
- No, she came later. - Really?
Maybe you were jealous?
She was seeing someone else?
I wasn't jealous.
How could I be jealous?
So she was seeing someone?
Yeah.
Who?
So until Amanda came along,
he was single.
No, he already had me.
Oh, yeah. But before you...
Who was she seeing, Jason?
A woman.
Right, so...
your justification for her not finding you attractive is,
"She didn't fancy me, she's a lesbian."
She was a lesbian. Ask Amanda.
They were lovers.
Wasn't he married before?
That's right, to, um, what's her name?
Now, don't tell me, don't tell me.
- Jilly. Jilly! That's right, yeah, Jilly.
They got divorced, didn't they?
She lives in that place, oh, where is it now?
Don't tell me, don't tell me...
Yes?
I'm Dr. Hill. I telephoned?
Oh, yes, please come in.
I know how difficult this is going to be, so...
why don't I tell you what I think I know?
and you can tell me if I'm wrong?
Yeah, okay.
To the world, you and Jack were a very happy couple.
Privately, though, I think things were less happy.
He was demanding, controlling, manipulative.
Everything was your fault.
Then one day, he hit you.
He said he was sorry, you forgave him.
And to the world, you're still Mr. and Mrs. Perfect.
But now he's violent on a regular basis.
Then he raped you.
The rapes became more frequent.
Oh, go away.
Hello? Police. Anybody?
Then there was no such thing as a rape between a husband and wife.
No, no, help me!
Help me!
No one would believe that Jack Vance was capable of such a thing.
Help me! Help me!
Help me!
And then, seven years ago, he was injured.
It ended his career.
And that was your chance to leave.
Yes.
I left him while he was in the hospital.
He was elbowed in the face;
he suffered a compound fracture of the cheekbone.
But that sort of injury, it wouldn't end a career, though, would it?
Uh, no -- but what wasn't reported was that,
when the cheekbone shattered, he lost an eye.
And he's been blaming you ever since?
Amanda Vance is a lesbian -- that is ridiculous.
He's just grasping at something... anything that'll get him off the hook.
It's complete fabrication.
No, it isn't; it makes sense.
Some of the letters from Dowling have been withheld -- why?
Because they would have revealed the truth about the affair.
Come on, Tony, get with it.
Jason's fingerprints were the only ones on that knife.
He had Donna's address and phone number in his room.
It's obvious.
Beth found out about the girl, so he killed her.
Jason is too young to have committed the murders.
Our killer's older, confident, charismatic.
Our killer is Jack Vance.
Jack Vance?
You ask his first wife.
He sexually abused her.
He beat her up, Carol.
His cheekbone had been shattered, ended his career,
his cheekbone.
He takes Jason everywhere with him.
He used Jason, just like he uses his marriage to Amanda.
So why did he kill Beth?
Was he jealous of her?
No, he knew about Amanda and Beth,
just as Amanda knows Jack sees other women.
But what she doesn't know is that he kills them.
It's a marriage of convenience for the both of them.
So Beth threatened to destabilize Jack's world?
Yes.
If Beth hands over the letters, the affair's exposed.
Jack, he couldn't allow that to happen --
the veneer of his marriage protected him.
So he set Jason up?
He used Jason's knife to kill Beth?
And all the girls...
... looked exactly like his first wife.
To him, that's who they represent.
He abused his wife...
until she had the strength to walk out,
and that was the trigger to kill.
Okay. Okay.
So the only way to prove all of this is to find Donna?
If she's still alive.
Do you think Amanda knows where he takes them?
I think you're going to have to tell Amanda what you know first.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Vance.
We know you didn't give us all of the letters.
We're also aware of your relationship with Beth.
This is a murder inquiry.
It's an offense to withhold or destroy evidence.
Everyone would have known. I didn't want that.
Beth did, she didn't...
she didn't understand that I couldn't do that to Jack.
Jason didn't kill Beth.
What do you mean?
I thought you'd arrested him.
Beth wanted to be honest about her relationship with you.
The man who killed her could never allow that to happen.
Who?
Jack?
No. No, he couldn't.
He raped his first wife -- he never touched you
because you weren't having a sexual relationship.
Mrs. Vance, your husband is picking up and murdering young women.
So far, the count's up to eight, with Beth, nine.
He's holding a schoolgirl -- Donna Perry --
somewhere near Five Walls Halt.
- She could already be dead. - We have to find her now.
Where's his house, Mrs. Vance?
He's never told me where it is.
I don't ask where; we've got separate lives.
I think he used to call it his ... ... uh, his Retreat.
That's all I know.
Amanda, finding Donna is our only way of stopping him.
If you know, don't protect him.
If I knew, I would tell you.
Hi, darling.
I heard about Jason. Have you charged him?
Uh, no, not yet.
Can I have a word, Jack?
I'd like you to come in.
Yeah, sure, if I can be of any help.
I need to advise the police on interview technique,
and you can help with background.
Jason's denying everything, even though we've got his fingerprints.
I also need you to identify his handwriting --
he had Donna's address and phone number.
Who's Donna?
It's a girl he met in Dilton. She's gone missing.
Can't believe it.
- Right, well, I'll just get my car. - I'll come with you.
Ring ahead. We'll put him under pressure.
Confront him with every photograph of every girl ...
Right, I need this room cleared now!
Maps of where they disappeared
and where they were last seen.
A huge map of Seaford and Five Walls Halt.
All the evidence in bags, on the desk, the crucifix.
Oh, mark the files as if Jason's a suspect,
to remind him of his crimes.
Come through.
Please take a seat.
This, uh, is very impressive.
Please sit down.
Is this what an investigation usually looks like?
Only when we're close to catching the perpetrator.
That's when we gather all the stuff.
Then we're able to quite easily see the strengths, weaknesses of the case --
this is particularly strong.
We're just missing one thing that will convict our man.
Sorry, won't be a sec. Could I have a word?
Yeah. Sorry.
Well, how long should we leave him for?
Just let him take it in.
- Kev - Yes, guv?
Get over to Dowling's, take his flat apart again.
Let's go.
How did you and Jason first meet?
Um... it was at a college somewhere.
We were doing a piece on educational opportunities.
Sort of thing we do every August,
after the exam results.
Not sure what he was studying,
but, um, something to do with catering, I think.
He was always very easy with people.
I would have trusted him with my life... ... foolish as that now seems.
Have you ever seen any of these girls before?
No, no, I meet so many people. Why?
Well, he lured them with promises of getting close to you.
KNIFE
Oh, that's sick.
KNIFE - SONIA He then kills them.
He's got a place near Five Walls Halt.
Where's that?
Near Seaford.
Do you recognize that handwriting?
Yes, yes I do; that's Jason's.
It's the address of the girl who went missing the other day.
The one you told me about?
What's he done with her?
Well, if his pattern's anything to go by, he's incarcerated her,
restrained her,
probably raped and starved her.
And smashed her cheekbone to pieces with a rock.
He does that to all his victims.
And all his victims, as you can see, are almost identical.
He takes out on them rejection he had earlier in his life.
His mother?
Could be a girlfriend.
I've seen it happen with first wives.
He also gives them cheap crucifixes.
Before killing them.
How many bodies have you discovered?
Two...
we're looking for six.
So, luckily, when we pick Donna up, she'll be able to identify him.
We should be with Donna within the hour.
We've got people closing in on various locations now.
Your footballing career ended early, didn't it?
Yeah. Do you know much about football?
No, but I know a lot about compound fractures to the cheekbone and
damage to the optic nerve.
You're very well informed.
Guv --
Excuse me.
CHAPEL (disused)
Chapel.
Tony?
Excuse me.
How old's that map, Carol?
I don't know.
He could have converted it.
- Converted what? - He's got a chapel.
Donna's in the chapel.
Amanda said he called it his "Retreat".
It's a religious term.
Crucifix, religious iconography.
Do you know why we haven't found any more bodies?
Why?
Because I think he buries them in the graves.
Sorry about that.
Where is he?
Andy, Vicky, Don! Move!
Hidden in water.
Jack!
Go on, move!
Right, everyone, shh!
Andy, Vicky, out there!
Barry, upstairs.
Don, Kevin -- here, move this.
Dear God.
- How is Donna? - She'll be fine.
If Dowling hadn't stalked Jack, you know, we'd never have caught on to him.
Donna would be dead and God knows how many others.
What about the other girls?
In their graves, close to home.
Jack Vance... "the housewives' favorite".
Could never let himself get caught.
To him this was a victory.
Killers and victims both do what it takes to survive.
Why do you always sound like something out of a textbook?
Did I? I didn't mean to.
Something I learned from Angelica.
It's why I'm alive.
