Freeze Frame Page #5

He did it?

He killed your family?

It was him?

Think about it.

Before the Jasper murders

what was he?

A small-time

small-town psychologist...

working with petty ex-offenders

like you.

I looked into his past.

He tried to get

into the cops and failed!

What better way to get one up

on the profession

that had rejected him than commit

a headline-grabbing murder

then move in and solve it?

What better way to get a fat leg

onto the profiling ladder?

Don't listen to her, Veil!

She's the one

who's playing games with you.

She's trying to get you to kill me.

For a so-called

profiling genius, Seger

you have an amazing knack

of getting things wrong.

He's not going to kill you.

I am.

No, I don't want any part of this.

Please!

You've been a part of it

from the beginning, Sean.

Might as well be here for the end.

Please. Not here.

Listen to him, young Jasper!

He's talking sense.

Besides, if you kill me

you'd be killing the wrong person.

If you kill me, the truth

will die with me.

What's he on about?

He's going to say I did it again

to save his own skin.

Need a skull made of kevlar

to do that!

I found this gun in your house, Seger!

I've had it tested!

- Did you test it for prints?

- Prints?

No point. A guy like you, forensically

aware, would've wiped it clean.

A guy like me would never have had it

in my house in the first place...

my finger had been on the trigger!

My prints are on that gun now.

He's going to say I planted it.

That's what he's going to...

He's going to say what he was doing with

it or he's going to die!

That's what he's going to say!

Someone sent it to me, okay?

I should have got rid of it long since

but I suffer from the enthusiast'smalady!

I kept it as a souvenir

a piece of crime memorabilia

for my own black museum.

Classic serial killer behavior

keeping souvenirs.

Says so in his own books.

I'm a collector, Veil

not a killer!

You're a lying prick

is what you are.

Who sent it to you?

The truth is not always the panacea

we imagine it to be, Katie Jasper.

But if you really want to know who killed

your mother and sisters...

I do.

Then I suggest you slice open your arm.

What?

The blood of your family's killer

runs in your own veins.

Your father sent me that gun

and a note confessing everything...

the day the trial

against Veil collapsed.

The day your father hung himself.

My father hung himself because

he couldn't live without Mum...

without Moira and Maggie.

Couldn't live with killing them

you mean.

He thought your mother had been

having an affair.

He thought that Moira

and Maggie weren't his.

That is why he shot them

in the face.

No...

To show his hatred.

His contempt.

No...

Wouldn't have got away with it

at the time if your mother

hadn't tried to wrestle

the gun off him.

If she hadn't wounded him

in the struggle.

She gave him an out, a means to turn

the investigation away from himself.

It's not true!

It's a lie!

If that's the truth

why didn't you tell?

I'd just gained a foothold

in my profession.

I had to stick to my guns.

I had to stick to my theory

that it was Veil.

I didn't want my reputation undermined

any more than you would want yours.

Any more than you'd want to be known as

the daughter of a killer.

Do you know how I've lived

these last 10 years?

What I've been through?

I bet you Emeric doesn't

even know, does he?

F***er's had it in for me all this time.

Wants to take me to the grave with him!

Probably what's killing him.

And you...

Look, no one needs to

die here, Veil.

No one needs to suffer

any more, okay?

We've all got things

on each other now.

All we have to do is to

forget this ever happened...

and carry on with

the rest of our lives.

You sick f***!

- Someone died because of you!

- That's nonsense.

My work saves lives.

Catches criminals.

Takes them off the streets, puts them

behind bars, where they belong.

I may have been a little economical

with the truth as regards this, but...

Stop her, Veil!

And I'll exonerate you, I swear!

She's only going to blame it

on you, Veil!

Why else do you think

she's doing it here?

For God's sake, man, do something!

- Who do you think killed Mary Shaw?

- That was an accident.

This is deliberate.

I expect you'll want to

thank me for that.

What?

Do you think he's still alive?

Do you think this is another stunt?

I was hoping it was.

But his name would have to be Lazarus

to come back from that.

Let me see.

What are you doing?

Don't. Please.

Please, please. Don't do that.

- You sure you mean that, Sean?

- Yes.

Doesn't feel like it to me.

Don't.

How long has it been, Sean?

Three years?

Five?

I bet the last woman you had

down here was Mary.

I didn't have her.

I didn't touch her.

No. But you wanted to. She told me.

She told me you'd freaked her out.

Her death had nothing to do with me.

You're right.

Responsibility for that lies at my door.

Me who hired her.

Me who asked her to do

what I'm doing to you now...

get a sample of your DNA.

Semen preferably.

Something I could use to

set you up...

fabricate a rape charge.

Came on all heavy afterwards, Mary.

Said you'd put the fear

of God into her.

- I should have warned you about it.

- Is that it?

- That's all I have.

- F*** off!

Don't touch that!

Next thing I knew...

I thought about trying to implicate you

at the time, but...

I was younger then.

And frightened.

I panicked.

In the end, I just...

buried her along with the tapes.

Thought I'd wait till someone

came across her.

Bide my time.

Coming up to the anniversary...

anonymous phone call was

all it took.

That and getting your tapes.

That's why I was there

that night before the raid.

It was you?

Thought they might exonerate you.

Thought I might be seen on them.

I was in the bar that night.

Watching.

Get off of me!

How long do you think you

can hold out, Sean?

I've held out...

...for 10 years.

Come on.

Let it go.

You know you want to.

Things to remember. Five.

Never have sex without a condom.

Ever.

Once they get hold of your sperm

you're f***ed.

You're going to accuse me

of all this, aren't you?

Say I killed Seger. Raped you.

You don't have to do this, you know.

As far as I'm concerned

Seger had it coming.

We're both victims here.

We're both...

And when they come and arrest you

for Mary Shaw?

When they decide they can prosecute you

on the evidence of her tapes alone?

When they come for you for Seger?

For real...

What are you going to say, Sean?

You're right.

Detective Inspector Emeric? '

It was me? I admit it? '

Don't worry, Sean...

this is one part of your life

that won't be going on tape.

No, no!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't do nothing!

I didn't do nothing!

Jesus Christ!

And you filmed all this?

Confessions? Shootings? Everything?

Her f***ing you?

You?

- Strange as it may seem.

- So where's the tapes?

She torched them.

Right. That's it.

Sean Veil, I'm arresting you on suspicion
