Honour

Mr Mahmod, we are treating your daughter as a missing person.

Not missing.

Mrs Mahmod, we will bring her back to you.

Banaz was a British citizen and she is dead.

No. She's a missing person.

Dead! Because you have admitted five times the police have failed her.

That was the main reason that I came to the police station.

That...

in the future or at any time, if anything happens to me,

it's them.

It's them.

"She is in a suitcase, under some stones in the water."

I now believe that when Rahmat reported her missing,

it was already too late.

I believe Banaz was killed on the living room floor of the house

where she lived with her parents.

I knew when you... when you called me

and you wouldn't tell me on the phone.

Now, I care very much about Banaz.

Your family can be sure that I will not rest

until I bring her killers to justice.

They record all your phone calls, Mohammed.

A translator puts them into English.

And I read them.

It's called disclosure. They have to show us their evidence.

We were just talking, like men do.

About another girl.

And now you're phoning your friends

and talking about raping and killing another girl?

Men talk about women. You will never understand.

I did advise you when we first met, Mohammed,

to be very careful what you say on the phone.

I did not kill her.

They will never prove I did.

I'll be back if there's any more transcripts.

Get a lot of job satisfaction, do you?

Working for a toe rag like Mohammed Hama?

He's still my client. And you still don't have a body.

I'm making an application to dismiss.

If she succeeds, Mohammed Hama could be out on bail in weeks.

Disappear back to Iraq like the others.

Unless we find the body.

We have to find the body.

Get a load of this.

- Six times, up and down. See? - This is the data from the car tracker?

Yeah, finally.

On the day after she died, Mohammed Hama drove that car

up and down the M1 to Birmingham six times.

So, West Midlands Police have agreed to help in every way they can.

Now, I don't want to hear the words "needle in a haystack."

So let's review what the prison phone calls have told us so far.

There is a house.

Some Kurdish men have been staying there.

It's got a bricked-up window. It's not overlooked from the back.

The house next door is derelict.

There's a burst water pipe.

"She is in the water, under the stones."

Possibly in a suitcase.

Look, there it is. It's up there, look.

- Zero Nine Nine to Control. Over. - Go ahead.

Andy, the chopper's giving me a clear visual on you now.

100 yards northwest of your current position,

there's a back yard.

It looks pretty derelict.

What have you got?

It's just a load of rubbish. No sign of water.

Jodge Street. Yarmouth Road.

Er, no. No good, sorry.

Six of them at least on this street with boarded-up windows.

He's talking about Brook Terrace.

But I've eliminated it, the council says no vacant properties.

Well, what about those two houses?

They've got a hedge in between them. They're not overlooked.

Erm, electoral register says there's two Irish families living there.

I'm just on Alexandra Road now.

Anything showing for Alexandra Road? Erm, water company got back to me.

Nobody has reported a broken water pipe.

- We've already been down this one. - Well, go round again.

So I've got three houses overlooked from the back,

but none of them's exactly derelict.

Nobody's got a pond or a water feature. Right.

I don't even know how we'd spot a burst water pipe.

What are we looking for, really?

It's got a bricked-up window.

It's not overlooked from the back.

And the house next door is derelict.

There's hundreds of them.

"She is in the water, under the stones."

Christ.

Smudge, we're going round in circles here.

We're getting nothing, Stu.

Abort. Return to base.

Zero Nine Nine received. Standing down.

What if we're no better than all those other fucking idiots?

Steady on!

The fucking idiots who failed her over and over again.

Smudge, you'll never let that happen, mate.

I just can't bear the thought of our girl

being crammed into a suitcase and left to rot,

and the guys who did this still being out there.

Pink or blue?

Oh, I don't know yet.

Hello?

Our girls, they are free to come and go as they please.

It was not a meeting.

You have family?

You English, you have forgotten what does it mean, family.

Threatening phone calls? No.

Why will I ring my niece, my-sister-in law?

You've been advised to say, "No comment."

Any of the ladies in my family have threatened them?

All right, Ari, I'll ask you again to look at a list of names...

Bekhal wants to see us.

You know, phone calls and...

people looking.

People I used to know before I left home.

- Do they speak to you, Bekhal? - They don't scare me.

You know, there's things we can do for you.

We can fit a panic button. CCTV.

Er... the thing is I'm...

...pregnant, all right.

You've said no before to going into the Witness Protection Scheme but...

I don't want it.

Think about it, yeah? A new flat.

- A new secure phone number. - And a new name.

When I don't want to be someone else, just me.

My dad beat me and he locked me in a room.

For wearing a skirt.

When I climbed out that window...

...I should have made Banaz climb out with me.

I need better glasses.

Getting old, Smudge.

- Yeah, old and obsessed. - It's phone calls. New ones.

Page 19.

There's the translation, there.

"..And we fixed the pipe.

"Did you check it? And did you put the...

"..did you put the freezer back on top of the patio?

"Did you put the freezer back on top of the patio?"

The freezer, I've seen it.

You get the video and I'll bring the TV out.

Fucking thing!

Birmingham Aerials. Birmingham Aerials.

Here.

It was Alexandra Road.

And it was towards the end of the day, I remember that.

Come on. Come on.

There's a freezer out on that... that patio!

It was late. I'm sure it was late.

- There, there, there! - I've just gone past it.

Wait, wait, wait. There, there.

There!

She had a nickname. Naska.

It means delicate like... softness, like...

like a new-born lamb.

She was so beautiful. You know, you could look at her forever.

When we was little, I was getting in all kinds of trouble.

But Banaz was so good.

So kind.

I can't believe my baby's never gonna know her.

I thought she might be in that fridge, but the door's off.

I was praying to God we'd find her here.

Till I saw it.

She was all right until a forensic archaeologist said

he could only remove four inches of soil at a time.

There's nothing here. I'm sorry.

Another hour. Half an hour.

Please.

"She's in the water, under the stones.

"She's buried to the height of a man."

They talk about a suitcase.

Gonna need those lights!

They could have come back later and moved the body.

Ugh, God. Jesus Christ.

I think that I've found the corner of your suitcase.

There's an edge of something that might be a pipe.

Oh, shit!

- It's broken! - Turn the water off!

- It's washing away all my evidence! - Get it off!

Turn it off!

Get to the water, will you?

Are they turning it off?

"In the water, under the stones."

Well, Smudge, you did it. You found her.

There's what looks like hair spilling out of the suitcase.

Yeah, we were expecting that.

I have to say I'm not sure we'll be able to get her out.

I think she might just fall apart. Can you pass me a scalpel?

If you can get me cause of death...

That looks like a ligature.

Oh.

What chance of DNA?

I'd be surprised if we could get hers out of this mess,

let alone anyone else's.

What kind of people think that anything in the world

is more important than their own children's lives?

People for whom life is worthless without honour.

- Are you defending them? - Not at all.

But you must understand,

they protect the honour of the family name,
