Thorne: Scaredy Cat Page #3

---

Her body was discovered just here.

(woman breathing quickly)

12, 13, 14...

23 stab wounds.

Yeah, but only 14 to kill her.

The rest were postmortem.

We ran background checks

on all the staff.

It turns out the hotel manager

was interviewed two years ago -

get this -

for a series of sexual assaults.

Someone was getting access

to hotel rooms.

The investigating officer

was 100% convinced

it was two guys working together and

the hotel manager was the rapist.

Jana Lovik was murdered while she

was working here. Maybe this is him.

Sean Bracher.

He doesn't match the e-fit. He's

the other guy. It's a team, right?

Tom wants me to tag him.

You interview him, maybe he'll

panic, lead us to his partner.

What d'you reckon?

You up for it?

Bet you he could be our psycho.

Look, Sarah, we can do this

the other way round.

I don't mind doing the interview.

No. I'm fine.

Just make sure that tracker works.

I thought you had the guy,

Jana's boyfriend.

It's been suggested

Jana was seeing someone.

Someone from work?

Was she a bit naive? A bit needy?

Look, I didn't take advantage of her

if that's what you're trying to say.

But you did sleep with her.

You're sure this is all necessary?

Jana's death was a... horrible thing

for us all here.

We're just trying

to put it behind us.

Alright, Mr Bracher.

That's been very helpful.

That's it? Mm-hm.

Please, um, call me...

...if there's anything else

you think I should know. Will do.

Alright.

Martin, we may have a problem.

Martin?

'Time for some spring cleaning,

Martin.'

'There are witnesses.' (groans)

'Oh, and keep your eyes open

this time.'

'I want you to get

the full experience.' (groans)

'Can't have any witnesses, Martin.'

Yeah, sorry, work's been a bit...

Fine.

You wouldn't believe

what she's kept.

There's all your old school reports,

loads of photos.

Of you and your mum.

Something to remember her by.

I do remember her, Dad. Every time I

look at that bloody piano you sent me

You and her were the musical ones.

I wasn't musical, Dad.

I used to listen to records,

remember? Hank Williams, all that.

The place were always full o' music.

I've got Sky now. Thank God.

Where shall I put this?

What? You've forgotten, haven't you?

That I was coming round.

Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.

We've had a lot on our minds.

Seen the paper?

Come on, I'll take over. Isn't

surveillance above your pay rate?

I want to get a proper look

at Bracher.

What time is his break?

Not for another hour.

Come on, back to the little wifey.

Police. Can you let us out, mate?

F***! Get in here!

What are you doing?!

Sean Bracher! I am arresting you

on suspicion of the murder of

Karal Turay and Fiona Hutchinson!

Who? Who lives here?!

(children's TV on)

Alright, you got Chas. Where's Dave?

He didn't turn up for work

this morning.

He saw his mug in the paper

and did a run for it.

I bet he knows where he is.

I don't think he does.

Don't do this to me, Tom.

Says he went to Palmer's flat

to get computer drives.

Palmer was helping him

fiddle the books.

Said he saw Palmer's picture in

the paper, wanted to get the disks.

What's on 'em? Accounts,

spreadsheets, hotel invoicing,

just like he said.

Alright. So he's on the fiddle.

Doesn't mean he's not a murderer.

How is she? They've just told us

she's in ICU.

Critical but not life threatening.

DSG unit's arrived at the station,

sir. You two brief them.

Is he down here? Yeah, up there.

Meet me at the car. I'll meet you.

Charlie.

You OK?

Listen, we're going to take you

somewhere a bit safer.

Are you coming?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Miss?

I'm the one...

you're looking for. I did it.

I killed her. It was me.

I'll take it.

It's OK.

Drop the gun and get down!

Hands behind your head!

Put your hands behind your head!

(thud!)

Put your hands behind your head!

Right!

What was the plan, Martin?

He'd do one, then you have to follow,

is that it?

Why don't you tell us about Jana,

Martin?

Hm?

I killed her. It was me.

Did he tell you to kill the others?

We can always ask him.

We got him next door.

What?

Yeah, he's here, Martin.

He's just over the corridor.

He's been asking for you as well.

Do you want to see him?

Come on, Martin.

What the f*** is he up to now?!

"Let's go and see him."

Don't worry.

He can't hurt you here, mate.

Eh?

Open up. Don't. Don't!

Martin, tell 'em!

Tell 'em I've got nothing

to do with this! F***in' tell 'em!

It's not him. I ain't supposed

to be here! This ain't right!

It's not him, it's not him.

Martin! Tell 'em!

He's out there! F***in' tell 'em!

You're never gonna get him!

Tell 'em I didn't do anything!

Martin! Tell 'em!

You didn't give yourself up to

confess. You wanted protection.

I can't protect you unless I know

who I am protecting you from.

We release him and we stay on him.

We let him go to work, go home.

That's how we get his mate -

when he thinks it's safe

and the pattern stays the same.

Karen McMann was missing in 1997.

What's that got to do with this?

I never told anyone your secrets.

:)

Ruth Murray died from slow sustained

squeezing on the artery.

Minimal internal damage.

Simple strangle.

Karal Turay, back of her skull

shattered as he beat her head

repeatedly against the floor.

So I guess it's a coincidence.

Methods are different.

It's not a coincidence

if there's a pattern.

Tom's got a theory. I heard it.

You said. Double trouble.

Venables and Thompson,

Brady and Hindley...

Ant and Dec, Robson and Jerome,

Donny and Marie,

Mike and Bernie f***in' Winters!

You got any evidence, Tom?

No, you don't need it.

You're Tom Thorne.

What are you doing here?

I'm not paying overtime.

I'm going out to forget

about Charlie and his mum

so I can come back tomorrow

and think about them again.

Listen, thanks for coming, Phil.

I appreciate it.

We were friends. You f***ed it up.

Sorry for your loss.

Did the boy see it? Why is he alive?

Did the killer get interrupted?

He'd have torn through the floor

if he'd had to.

It's driving me mad. I've looked at

every unsolved murder in ten years.

Luton, Chelmsford, Bromley,

the suburbs.

Every pair of unsolved murders

on the same day. Nothing!

Only unsolved murders, you said?

Yeah, why?

The police are capable

of charging the wrong man.

Jana's death was a horrible thing

for us all here.

We're just trying

to put it behind us.

Martin, we may have a problem.

Two killers, two victims. Same

method, same day. That's the pattern.

Serial killers don't work together.

These do.

F***!

What are you doing?!

Sean Bracher, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the murder of

Karal Turay and Fiona Hutchinson!

I'm the one you're looking for.

I did it.

I killed her. It was me.

Did he tell you to kill the others

too?

Martin, tell him!

F***in' tell him!

It's not him, it's not him.

He's out there.

And you're never gonna get him!

You got something to tell me, son?
