London Kills

I'm assuming this isn't good news.

Rob told me that you had a visit from the misper team.

He's worried that they might have found Sarah.

They haven't, have they?

No.

But they're winding down the inquiry.

Which means they think she's dead.

Who am I kidding?

You forget about the gun, and I'll...

I'll tell you all about it.

That's right.

Sarah Bradford is very much alive.

Got it. Thanks.

We've got a body.

Greenwich. Near the river.

I'll come with you,

given that your colleagues have done a disappearing act.

Mr. Roscoe.

Danny Roscoe, open up. It's the police.

Open up.

How credible is your tip-off?

Billie?

We've got a body in Greenwich.

I'll text you the details.

Uniform have got an I.D. for the victim.

Taxi driver called Danny Roscoe.

Could you repeat that, please?

Danny Roscoe.

Yeah, that's what I thought you said.

What?

You can stop looking for Danny Roscoe.

Why?

He's dead.

Strange place to park a black cab.

It's not like he'd be dropping off a passenger.

- Morning. - Boss.

How did he die?

Someone staved the back of his head in.

Robbery?

No. Still got his wallet.

Complete with cards and cash.

We also found his membership card for the Chasing Red Casino,

where Marcus Maguire was shot dead yesterday.

There's something I need to tell you.

I got a tip-off.

The informant claimed that he knew your wife is alive

and that this guy, Danny Roscoe, knew where she was.

Who was the tip-off from?

That's not relevant.

He won't tell me either.

Have you been to Roscoe's address?

Uh, yeah, but there was no answer.

- Did you carry out a search? - Not yet.

Get on it. Call me from there.

Billie, find out everything you can about our murder victim.

Rob, come with me.

Who's your source?

Adrian Cook.

I caught him with the gun

that was used to kill Marcus and Callum Maguire yesterday.

I was about to arrest him, but he made me an offer.

If I turned a blind eye, then he'd give me the name of the guy

that saw Sarah alive.

Where's the gun now?

I stashed it in my neighbor's garden.

They're away at the moment. I wasn't gonna keep it at mine.

You know if you're found out, you'll go to prison.

So, what do you want to do?

Pay Adrian Cook a visit.

Let's call by your neighbors' on the way.

Okay, get somebody out the back.

Oh, and bag this laptop.

Boss, um, Sarah is not at Roscoe's flat and...

I can't see any sign that she was ever held here.

Okay, Vivienne. Thanks for looking.

Yeah, okay.

You'd better hope she never finds out

what you've been up to.

This is Vivienne we're talking about.

She won't turn a blind eye.

Petra, can you tell me when you last saw your husband?

Yesterday morning.

Early. Before we both went out to work.

You weren't concerned when he didn't come home last night?

I left him a couple of messages.

I just assumed he was busy working.

Do you recognize this woman?

No.

Never seen her in Danny's company?

Never.

I-Is she something to do with what happened to him?

That's what we're trying to find out.

Let's see it.

You're certain we'll find Adrian Cook's prints and DNA on it?

- A hundred percent. - Okay.

I'll send you a text.

Mr. Bradford. How can I help you?

Talk to me about Danny Roscoe.

That constable of yours has got a big mouth.

All I want to do is find my wife.

I don't care about anything else.

Please.

So Roscoe had seen Sarah.

Why would that mean he'd come into money? Hmm?

I don't know.

When he lost yet again,

I told him I was canceling his credit,

and that's when he told me all the stuff about your wife.

I'll need the hard drive.

Ah. Well, that would leave me without CCTV.

Danny Roscoe was found dead this morning.

This is a murder inquiry.

Nothing to do with me.

Nothing ever is.

We suspect our murder victim was a thief.

How come?

The sarge recovered a laptop from Danny Roscoe's flat.

We checked the serial number,

and it was reported stolen six weeks ago

from an address in Hackney.

I contacted the owners.

Guess who drove them to the theater that night.

Don't tell me. Danny Roscoe.

It's highly unlikely that Sarah hailed Roscoe's cab.

So, what if he came across her

when he was breaking and entering?

It's possible.

What did Roscoe's wife have to say for herself?

Not a lot.

She was hardly likely

to fess up to the fact that he was a thief.

No. I reckon I've been played.

Do you mind if I have another crack at her?

Sure. Take Vivienne with you for added muscle.

This is my sergeant, Vivienne Cole.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Mrs. Roscoe.

Well, it didn't stop you lot turning the place over.

Look, we just want to find out who attacked your husband.

Who killed him, you mean?

Did you recognize this?

It looked like the one Danny had.

It's an expensive piece of kit.

Yeah, Danny bought it off a mate.

Which mate?

Have you got a name or an address you could give us?

I don't remember.

This laptop has been reported stolen.

Are you saying that my Danny bought a dodgy laptop?

I need to inform you that we believe

that this laptop was stolen by your husband.

Get out. Get out of my house!

Petra, we understand you're upset.

He's not been dead a day and you,

you're accusing him of being a thief.

I want you out!

- Mrs. Roscoe... - Get out of my house!

Do you think she's gonna make a complaint?

Oh, let her try.

Whatever her husband was doing,

I guarantee you she was up to her neck in it.

Dad?

Dad?

I ran Petra's name and date of birth through the system.

There was police contact with her when she was 15.

Why?

Her dad, Tony Pearce,

went to prison for high-value burglary.

So Danny Roscoe married into the family firm.

Mm-hmm.

Where does her dad live?

Hello, Petra. What's in those boxes?

I want to talk to my solicitor.

Yesterday lunchtime Danny told me

that during the course of a burglary yesterday morning

he had come across a woman

who he believed to be held captive for some time.

He was convinced that this woman was the wife

of Detective Inspector David Bradford.

He had seen her disappearance reported on the news.

I begged Danny to call the police.

To think of what that... That poor woman

and her family have been through.

But... But he was rough with me.

So instead he was planning to blackmail

Sarah Bradford's captor

into giving him £5,000 to keep quiet.

Did Danny tell you who was holding Sarah Bradford?

- No. - Or where?

No.

I used CCTV to track Danny Roscoe's journey

to the murder site.

Mobile ANPR picks up his cab on Eulford Road

at 22:18 last night.

Then I did a convoy check,

and a red estate car rendezvouses with Danny's cab

at an industrial site in Charlton.

Presumably checking they weren't being followed.

The estate then follows the cab for a further 15 minutes.

Can you I.D. the estate car?

I can. Phoebe Ingram is the registered keeper.
