- [Stella] I've been brought in from the Metropolitan Police to lead a review into the investigation of the murder of Alice Monroe.

- Been a shooting in a house about a mile away.

Car was stopped just along there.

- He had things entirely under his control, which leads me to think that this was not his first murder.

I'm staying at The Hilton, room 203.

- Go back to your review, Stella.

I don't want the two murders linked.

- Ned Callan, Belfast Chronicle, can I have a word?

- Not at the moment, no.

- Not even off the record?

- There's no such thing, as you well know.

Failure to see the crimes are linked is the thing that will allow the killer to strike again.

(woman screaming) - Perhaps she did go far with her sister.

(soft music) - DS James Olson.

Just after 2150 hours, car was stopped in the vicinity of The Falls Road because it was being driven erratically.

A search revealed two concealed firearms and a quantity of ammunition.

I have reason to believe this man, Terry McInturff, was involved in the murder of Michael Lockwood in the Shankill area earlier this evening.

- Open your mouth.

- Open your mouth.

(Terry loudly grunts) Spit it out!

Spit it out!

- Get back in the cell.

(Terry loudly grunts) - Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

(Terry loudly screams) - I need some assistance here.

(Terry loudly grunting) (screaming drowns out James) (James softly whistles) I wasn't sure this's what you meant.

- It's what I meant.

(soft chilling music) (soft distorted guitar) - I should take a shower.

- No need.

I like it.

(soft chilling music) (soft distorted guitar) (soft chilling music) (soft distorted guitar) (soft chilling music) (drain softly gurgling) (soft chilling music) (shower softly running) (soft chilling music) - Should I take your number?

(door softly opens) (door softly shuts) (sirens softly howling in distance) - Two guns seized following last night's murder in West Belfast.

Today, the Chairman of the Independent Policing Executive, Morgan Monroe, issued this statement.

- The people of Belfast will be horrified by last night's shooting.

These attacks leave behind a trail of suffering, misery, and hurt in their wake.

- Meanwhile, the hunt for the killer of Alice Monroe continues.

Aaron Monroe, who has been helping the police with their inquiries, spoke to our reporter.

- We're very grateful that the police have finally released Alice's body to her family.

Although we were separated at the time of her death, we both remained very close friends.

(girl softly cooing) - Hey!

- Hey.

- There's fresh coffee there.

Sorry, we have to go.

You look tired.

Did you have a busy night?

- Quite busy, yeah.

(kids loudly giggling) - Let met take this from you-- - No, don't worry, I'm fine, don't fuss.

- Right, grab your things, you two, come on, let's go.

Come on.

(soft chilling music) (door loudly shuts) (bag softly zipping) (soft chilling music) (door loudly clatters) - Thought this might interest you.

This was last night?

- I was at the hotel dining room about to eat.

Callan came in and sat down uninvited at my table.

I didn't see a photographer.

- How did he know you were staying there?

- I don't know.

- What did you say to him?

- I asked him to leave.

- You should have told me.

- Told you what?

- All meetings with journalists have to be on the record.

- It wasn't a meeting, he doorstepped me.

I said, "Go away."

There's nothing there.

- What did he want with you?

- He wanted to hear about the review.

He wanted to talk about the murder.

I refused to discuss either.

- I have a meeting with the Independent Policing Executive this morning.

This, has done nothing to make my job easier.

Keep that.

One for the archives.

(door lightly clatters) (door loudly shuts) (soft chilling music) (Paul breathing heavily) - Where she went, who she saw, what she did, are no longer any of my business.

I can't help you with any of that.

- [Interrogator] She seemed to call you often enough, twice on the day she died.

- Probably to bitch and moan.

- [Interrogator] Bitch and moan?

- Definitely not to share any details of her new life.

- [Interrogator] She moved on?

- Well, if you think getting a tattoo and dressing like a slut is moving on, then, yeah.

- [Interrogator] You disapproved.

- [Aaron] It wasn't something I'd allowed her to do when we were together.

- [Interrogator] She needs your permission to do something like that, would she?

When you were married?

- I think I'd like to leave now.

(pause key loudly clicks) - [Stella] These are all the prescription drugs gathered at the crime scene?

- Yes, ma'am.

(pill bottle softly rattling) - No sign of any illegal drug use with regard to Alice Monroe?

- No, ma'am, none.

- Did it occur to you that Aaron Monroe was clucking during his interviews?

- At the time, no.

He was very on edge.

- He looks like a cokehead to me.

Worth following up with the action manager, I think.

Thanks, Mary.

- Fewer people who have been killed or seriously injured on our roads.

The levels of sectarian crime have reduced over the last year.

We have seized more illegal drugs, arrested more drug offenders, and this has been delivered despite increasing economic cutbacks and increasing threats against our officers.

- [Receptionist] Bacon and Day Solicitors.

- Hi, is Sarah Kay there?

- [Receptionist] She's not in the office today.

- Do you know why?

- [Receptionist] Who is this, please?

- I just need to speak to her.

- [Receptionist] Shall I put you through to your voicemail?

- No, thanks for your help.

- Kevin McSwain, solicitor representative to Terry McInturff and Jonas Dylan.

Why was the car stopped?

- Was being driven erratically close to the scene of a crime.

- [Kevin] Do you have witness statements still in effect?

- I do.

- I should like copies of those witness statements.

- Okay.

- I also want a written list of every question that you intend to ask.

- What, so your client can cook up some crazy cover story?

Get real.

- I understand that you forcibly removed chewing gum from my client, Terry McInturff.

- For his own safety, was worried he might choke.

- Well, it was, in fact, nicotine gum, as prescribed by his GP.

So he's entitled to supply whilst he's in custody, just as he would be any other prescription drug.

And you're in breach of custody regulations by withholding.

- So make a complaint.

- I intend to.

- The Lockwood house was heavily fortified.

Two of the three men arrested were known to the police.

- So, there's no indication that distant Republicans were involved in the murder?

- None whatsoever, this was a cold-blooded killing, which we are at present treating as drugs-related.

- This is the location of the shooting.

It's where the car you were traveling in was stopped.

Explain to me where you'd been.

Tell me where you were going.

- After advice, my client will not be answering any questions.

- Let him answer that for himself.

- I've told you, after advice, my client not to answer any questions.

- Then let him answer that for himself!

- Do you know this man, Michael Lockwood?

- My client will not be answering any questions.

- [James] Look at the photographs, please.

- As you very well know, showing gruesome photographs to suspect is considered a violation of their human rights.

- Four shots in the back in front of his wife, his son.

Was very brave, very bold.

- You had two handguns with you, why?

- 'Cause you had a premeditated plan to kill Michael Lockwood, didn't you?

Could've been ties from his house by Rory Macnaught - After advice, my client will not be answering any questions.

- Michael Lockwood was well known to us, Terry.

What happened between you two?

Did a drug deal go bad?

Dispute over turf?

- After advice, my client will not be answering any questions.

- Don't give me that look, Terry, That only works on intelligent people.

- You took your phone with you, Terry?

Cell tower triangulation puts you precisely here at the time of the shooting.

- What a dazzling display of stupidity.

- I know where you live.

- Like I've never heard that before.

- I am assured by the officer in question that the journalist simply approached her in the dining room of her hotel uninvited.

She refused to discuss her presence in Belfast and refused to answer any questions about her involvement in the Alice Monroe review.

He left empty handed.

(birds softly chirping) - We're gonna see Auntie Sarah.

Yes, we are, yes, we are.

Here you go.

(baby softly cooing) Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah, it's past two, I've been calling you.

Sarah?

Sarah?

(baby softly crying) (Marion softly crying) - What's your name, caller?

- [Marion] I'm Marion.

- I'm Samantha, is that your baby, Marion?

- [Marion] Yes.

- Is he all right?

- [Marion] It's a girl, yes, it's not the baby, it's my sister.

- What about her, Marion?

- [Marion] She won't wake up.

She won't wake up.

- Where are you calling from?

- [Marion] Her house.

- And the number you called on, that's the house telephone, is it?

- [Marion] Yes.

- Good, help is already on its way.

Are you with your sister now, Marion?

- [Marion] I'm in the hall.

- Where is your sister?

- [Marion] She's in the bedroom, please, help me.

- Help is already on its way.

It's gonna be there very soon.

- [Operator] Any call sign near 3 Salvo Road, bravo, tango, six, seven, delta, come in.

- Oh, Jesus.

- [Operator] Ambulance control, I've got a report of a body of a female at that location.

(sirens loudly howling) - Uniform from alpha, papa, two, one.

We are five minutes away, we'll respond.

(Marion softly crying) (sirens softly howling) - I can hear the sound, Marion.

- [Marion] Yes.

- Can you see them?

Marion, can you see them yet?

- [Marion] No.

- They're right there, Marion, can you see them?

- [Marion] (softly crying) No.

- [Brian] It's okay, madame, come with me.

- Yes, they're here.

- Okay, Marion, they'll take care of you now.

You can put the phone down.

- It's okay.

Come with me, please.

(phone softly hangs up) (phone softly clicks) - Hello, police, how can I help you?

(stairs softly creaking) - That's it, Marion, this way.

- Uniform from alpha, papa, nine.

- [Dispatcher] Go ahead.

- In the upstairs front bedroom.

No sign of any intruder.

- [Dispatcher] Understood.

- There's a dead female.

It looks suspicious.

(siren softly howling) - Is it clear to go in?

- There's nothing you can do.

- Stone, let's get that accordion into place, okay?

I need it as wide as possible.

Use that wall, use that fence, block off the road in both directions, good, lad.

You, make sure nobody gets in the house.

Keep those people back, okay?

- You all right?

(siren loudly howling) - What are you doing here?

- I couldn't get you on the phone.

I called your office.

Everything's right on for tonight.

- I want you to cancel.

- What?

- There's too much going on, too much attention focused on you.

- Yeah, I thought you were dealing with that.

- I am, but you need to play your part.

Your ex-wife has been murdered.

There's a funeral to get through.

Here you are, lounging the car like you hadn't a care in the world.

People expect you to say the right thing, show the right degree of emotion.

- No, Dad, it's too late to cancel tonight.

Our guests are expecting to be entertained, they're expecting a party.

- Just throw that away and get in the car.

I backed you in there, Jim, on the understand that you would clear my son's name.

- I know, Warden.

- Well, make that announcement, today.

(phone softly rings) - Burns.

What?

- Garrett, is your call here?

There's been another murder.

- I think my daughter's here, Mitchell?

I think they brought her up here.

- I'll be with you in a wee second.

Do you want to just take a seat?

(dial tone softly ringing) - I would like her home.

- Paul?

Where you sleeping?

- Yes.

- [Sally] Don't forget this afternoon.

- What?

- [Sally] Four o'clock.

- Oh, yeah, okay.

- [Sally] I'm sorry, just one minute.

- Hello?

- [Sally] I have to be back here at nine.

- Okay.

- [Sally] I have to go.

(brakes softly screech) (crowd softly chattering) - Who were the first attending officers?

- We were, ma'am.

- Did to go inside?

- Ferrington did.

- Ferrington?

You've been in?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Tell me.

- Suspected homicide.

- White professional female in her 30s?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Strangulation marks?

- I think so.

- Where's the body located?

- [Danielle] In the upstairs front bedroom.

- Where in the bedroom?

- On the bed.

- Covered or uncovered?

- Partly covered, I think.

- Thank you.

- She was a solicitor.

- What?

Was she known to you?

- Yes, ma'am.

- She's not in any pain.

(devices softly beeping) She's getting help breathing, and we'll do an x-ray of her chest and an echocardiogram of her heart.

We'll need to do some blood tests for infection.

- Can I touch her?

- Jim, Stella Gibson.

- [Jim] I can see you.

Let her in.

- I have real worries it's the same guy.

- How on earth can you say that when no one's been in yet?

- Two uniformed officers attended a break-in on Friday evening at the same property.

Female solicitor living alone came home to find there'd been an intruder, had left some items of underwear and her vibrator on her bed.

- What?

- Same officers attended today.

Victim's name is Sarah Kay.

Strangled, posed, has to be the same guy.

- I'm sorry, but, was she not advised to vacate the property while the investigations were going on?

- There were no investigations.

The victim herself decided not to pursue it.

Make me SIO.

I have the rank, I have the experience.

I'm here, and I could be made available.

This is the third murder in three months, Jim.

If we don't stop him, he will kill again.

- You okay?

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions.

- I'm Detective Superintendent Gibson, I'm acting SIO here.

- Sheldon Schwartz, Crime Scene Manager.

- [Stella] Who's been in so far?

- There are force medical officers in there now.

- I want it videoed, sketched, and photographed before anybody else goes in.

- [Sheldon] Yes, ma'am.

- Who found her?

- [Sheldon] Her sister made the initial call.

- What's her name?

- [Sheldon] Marion.

- We need to get her clothing before there's any more cross contamination.

Handle it sensitively.

- Right.

- Is the house-to-house on the way?

- [Officer] Yes, ma'am.

(helicopter loudly rustling) - The schematic stage of drawing generally occurs at this age, seven to nine.

They start drawing what they are thinking rather than just what they see.

When I asked Olivia what she had drawn, she told me it was a princess who had stabbed herself and died.

- She hasn't been sleeping very well.

- [Teacher] She looks tired.

- Well, Paul's work is with bereaved people, of course, and my work has its ups and downs, but we're always very careful what we say in front of the kids.

- [Teacher] Perhaps she endured something.

- Perhaps.

- [Sheldon] That's Professor Reed Smith.

She's the pathologist.

- Ask her to join us at the command vehicle.

- Hi.

- How you doing?

Perhaps you can do me a favor.

Collect some things from my hotel room.

Okay, make a list.

- Thank you for calling us in.

We really appreciate your concern for Olivia.

- Daddy!

- Hey!

Muah!

- I didn't know you were here.

- I'm not here.

- [Olivia] Yes you are, Daddy, I can see you.

- Under floorboards, in the loft, behind bath panels, inside water systems.

Check every rubbish and dustbin.

Check for lifestyle indicators, drugs, sexual fetishes, magazines, anything unusual or significant.

Access will be tightly controlled, so everybody in oversuits, gloves, masks, overshoes.

Stepping plates where applicable.

- Please, everyone, everyone, listen, no discussions relating this crime to any other recent murder.

Keep your thoughts to yourselves.

- From the body temperature and the degree of rigor mortis, I'd say the post-mortem interval is 12 to 14 hours.

- Cause of death?

- Asphyxiation, ligature.

- Her nails look nearly painted.

- Yes, they do.

(trash bin creaks) (trash bin clattering) Victims of strangulation often urinate and defecate at the point of death.

- Yes.

- I'd expect more mess.

- He washed her.

He washed her and he dried her.

He washed and dried the bedding too.

And then he put her back to bed.

- What is it, Mummy, what happened?

- There's been an accident, I think.

- Is someone dead?

- I don't know, darling.

- How long was he with her after he killed her?

Must have been hours.

Do you think her hair's been clipped?

- Where?

- There.

(Marion softly crying) (soft chilling music) - Firearm residue found on the hands and clothes of McInturff, and Dylan.

Fibers from McInturff's jacket pocket match those found on the Glock 17.

Bullets retrieved from the body of the victim match the ammunition found in Rory Macnaught's car.

The men from the PBSC say yes.

- What to?

- Yes, sir, I will.

Dylan and McInturff for murder, Macnaught as an accessory.

Here, break the news to McSwain.

- McSwain.

- Copy of the initial lab report.

You're worried about nicotine gum?

You okay?

- One of my friends has been killed.

- An accident?

- No, not a, not an accident.

- I got your things, ma'am.

- Ah, right, thank you.

- I've been thinking I should report myself.

We should never have left her alone that night.

We failed her utterly.

- Report your partner as well?

You have reported it, to me.

Let me think about it.

Decide what actions to take tomorrow.

- Yes ma'am.

- I'm Detective Superintendent Gibson.

I'm leading this inquiry.

Can I ask you something?

- Course.

- Did you happen to notice your sister's nails?

- No.

- They look freshly painted.

There's not much in the way of nail varnish in the house.

- She hardly ever wore it.

- Red nail varnish?

- Not since she was 16, maybe.

- I'm very sorry for your loss.

- Police have launched an investigation into a suspicious death at an address inside Belfast.

Detectives have yet to release the victim's identity-- - Paul.

- But have confirmed that a post-mortem examination is sure to-- - Paul.

- Take place later today.

This discovery comes just weeks after the-- - Thanks.

What are you doing here?

How'd you get through the corridor?

- I'm a police officer, remember?

- Not part of this investigation.

- Why'd you give me your number if you don't want to see me again?

- It was a mistake.

Thought I was good at reading people.

I'm sorry, seems I read you wrong.

(car loudly starting up) (car loudly rustling) - DS Olson (indistinct) Jimmy.

- What were you doing in there?

- Delivering a message.

- To the Detective Superintendent Gibson?

Are you charging McInturff and co?

- No comment.

- Fine, tell your boss for me to stop saying the shooting's drugs-related.

- Why, do you know something different?

- Who's dead in there?

- Do you know something different?

- Maybe.

- All I know is white female, early 30s, solicitor at Bacon and Day.

Your turn.

- Is that all right for you?

- Yeah.

- All right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I got you something.

Because your teacher said you were trying really hard at school.

Come here, put it on.

- Thank you, Daddy.

- Okay.

(doorbell softly ringing) - Katie.

- Paul said I could download some music from his computer.

If it's not a good time, I-- - I'm just about to go to work.

- Oh.

Okay.

- Do you not have an umbrella or something?

- No.

- Jesus, come in, you can dry off at least.

(door loudly shuts) (phone softly ringing) (soft muffled classical music) - Jimmy.

- [James] Ran into Ned Callan.

He had quite a story to tell.

(door softly knocking) - I'm working.

- Oh, sorry.

- Give me five minutes.

Come in, gentlemen.

- Good evening, good to see you.

- Take a seat.

(soft classical music) (bathroom door knocks) - [Man] Mr. Rossmeisl and Mr. Lyle are here.

- Roger, how good to see you.

Now sit down, relax.

- Nice to see you.

- I'd like you to meet the girls of Monroe Air.

- Monroe Air.

(men speaking in foreign language) - [Woman] May I have a glass of champagne?

(women softly giggling) - Thanks, you're very kind.

(champagne softly pouring) Thank you very much, my name is Julie.

- Is that for her?

She's 15.

Underage.

Don't let her stay too long.

(rain softly tapping) (drawers softly sliding) - Thanks.

(car door opening) (cell phone softly ringing) - [Rob] Hi, it's Rob, what's the story?

- Not crime-related at all.

- Right.

- Nothing to do with drugs.

- [Rob] Okay.

- Apparently, Michael Lockwood's been Terry McInturff's wife.

- [Rob] You're joking.

- The past seven years.

- [Rob] No.

- Maybe father to his kids.

(Rob softly laughing) McInturff just recently found out.

- [Rob] That's beautiful.

- Hi anger knew no bounds.

- [Rob] I've got to go, talk later.

- Okay.

(gun loudly firing) - Daddy!

Daddy!

Daddy!

(car alarm loudly beeping) Daddy!

(footsteps loudly thumping) - Thank you.

- She has a high level of chorionic gonadotropin in her blood.

- What's that?

- I'm thinking she was pregnant.

- Oh, Jesus.

- And she's not really showing, so, it might be very early stages.

Do you have kids?

- No.

You?

- Two girls.

She's ready when you are.

- You may see what looks like bruising on her face.

It's not bruising, it's just something that happens when the heart stops.

Are you ready?

(Ian loudly gasps) Is this the body of your daughter, Sarah Kay?

- My baby.

My baby.

(devices softly beeping) - My baby.

Beautiful baby.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Mommy's here.

- [Ian] Can I touch her?

Yes, of course.

(smooth country rock music) - I bet you sit in here playing air guitar, wishin' you were black.

Dancin' all alone.

I was only joking.

You're strong.

- You're a thief.

(stop button clicks) Give it back.

- What?

- [Paul] You know what.

(rain softly tapping) - What are you doing?

(Katie softly yelping) Get off of me.

(muffled grunting and thumping) (Katie's crying softly muffling) (Katie softly crying) You're hurting me.

I wasn't gonna take it.

- You had taken it.

- I wasn't gonna keep it.

Was just gonna ask about it.

- Ask what?

- You heard my wrist.

- Ask what?

- Nothing.

- It's my mother's hair.

It's all I have of her.

- Smells fresh.

- I wash it sometimes.

- I'm sorry I hurt you.

What can I do to make it up to you?

- Kiss it better.

(soft dramatic piano music)
