DCI Banks

Ah! Nearly.

Not bad for an oldie.

Less of the old, thank you very much. Remember who's buying you lunch.

Again.

Don't take forever in the shower if you want to get that dress.

Yeah, yeah.

- Is dad busy? - He's expecting you.

Wow, that is beautiful.

And it looks scarily expensive.

Best not to ask.

- Don't be late. - Course I won't.

- See you later, honey. - I'll see you later.

Thanks, Mum.

- I'm gonna have to meet you at the concert. - Oh?

I've got a meeting this afternoon.

Love you.

Holly, did my wife say anything to you about a meeting this afternoon?

No, me neither.

No reason. Thank you. Goodbye.

This is Anaan Kamel. Please leave a message.

If your call is urgent, please contact my secretary on 0113 496 0632.

I've been going through your mother's stuff

and well, I thought that Tracey might like this.

- Dad, are you sure? - She would be pleased to know

that her granddaughter had got it.

Tracey will be thrilled. It's a lovely thought.

- It might be nice to think that it's going to get used again one day. - Yeah.

After all, it's not going to be much use for you, is it?

Storage workers found her this morning.

Any idea how she got here?

She clearly had been in the water but the level dropped overnight,

so she could have been thrown in anywhere.

- Are we looking at all the relevant CCTV? - Tariq's on it.

- Any ID? - Nothing on her.

That's a nice watch. If it's genuine it will have a serial number.

Let's start with that.

Mr Kamel, I'm DCI Banks, this is DI Morton. May we come in, please?

Oh, God, no.

Thank you.

Anaan was supposed to join me at Nafeesah's concert last night.

She didn't show. I was worried. I just assumed she had been delayed.

And you tried calling her?

Yes, of course,but she wasn't ans-

I told myself there was any number of good reasons why she wasn't answering.

And then eventually...

that's when I reported it.

Can you think of a reason why anyone would want to hurt your wife?

No. No, of course not.

Single gunshot wound.

It exited here, just below the collarbone.

So, she was shot in the back?

- Running away? - That's what killed her? She didn't drown?

There's no sign of haemorrhaging in the middle ear

and no water or debris in her stomach.

Was she dead before she went into the water?

- It looks like it. - There was no bullet found at the scene.

- Probably in the river. - How long do you think she'd been in there?

Not wrong. A few hours.

No genital breezing so it doesn't look like rape.

As to whether or not she'd had consensual sex,

- no traces of semen but then she had been in the water. - OK.

I found these though.

Small bruises here on her jaw and cheek.

Old, from a couple of weeks ago.

It's possible someone hit her.

Thank you.

Dad?

The police are here.

Sorry if we are disturbing anything.

No. No, you're not.

This is Bilal, my wife's brother.

Hiya. I came to pay my respects.

And now he's leaving.

Actually, since you're here I'd like a word, if I may.

- Yes, yes, of course. - Thank you.

- I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions. - Yeah.

Were you very close to your sister?

Er, not as much as I'd have liked.

Why was that?

I think I made her...

.. uncomfortable.

She was not...

- devout. - You felt she didn't take her faith seriously enough?

My sister didn't take her faith seriously at all.

I work for a charity.

For the last eight years I have lived in Pakistan.

It was only when I came back, I saw the extent to which she had, er...

.. lost her way.

How would you describe her marriage?

Oh, you'd have to ask Raheel, but I don't think she was happy.

Why?

Because I think my sister was being disloyal to her husband.

Why do you say that?

I saw her with a man in a cafe.

They were talking, their heads very close.

I asked her about it afterwards.

She told me I was mistaken.

But I wasn't.

I know what I saw.

So, your wife had some bruising on her face.

She fell a couple of weeks ago.

Can you tell me exactly what happened?

No, I wasn't here.

I was in court in Sheffield. I had to stay over.

You were here though, weren't you, darling?

Mum fell on the stairs. She hit her head.

- Could you show me? - What?

- Where she fell. - Is this completely necessary?

It would be very useful for me to see.

Thank you.

She was there. She caught her heel in the carpet.

And then she fell all the way down?

Yeah.

So, what did they say at A and E?

We didn't go.

- Why was that? - Mum was a bit shaken, that's all.

Nothing broken.

That was lucky.

I don't buy it.

A fall like that should have left Anaan Kamel with bruises

on her legs and arms but there weren't any.

Well, maybe someone did take a swing at her.

The brother thinks that Anaan was having an affair.

What, thinks or knows?

It is easy to look at a marriage from the outside

and think you know what's going on.

But if she was having an affair and Raheel found out...

Even if he did beat her up, doesn't mean that he was the person that killed her.

But if he did, it suggests that he knew.

- It gives him motive. - What, to shoot her?

Maybe not pull the trigger himself but to pay someone else to do it.

Ken, Raheel Kamel said he was in Sheffield on the 21st.

- Can you get it checked out? - Yeah.

I've got Anaan Kamel on camera from yesterday.

3:32, she leaves Chambers, heads up Park Row.

And then we pick her up here, where she has a coffee and waits.

Well, who for?

Watch.

The car's registered to a Marcus Leyton, address in Burley.

Here's where it gets interesting.

He works at Anaan's Chambers.

Good work. Go to the Chambers, find out all you can about him.

Helen, you and I will head to Burley.

Well, it should be in the airing cupboard, James.

Yeah, with the other clean stuff.

I don't know, you'll just have to ask Dad.

Yeah, and did you give a message to Jake?

Oh.

That - Don't worry.

It's fine. (No, it doesn't matter.)

All right. Yeah. Bye then, bye.

- OK? - Yeah.

I checked with the neighbours. No-one's seen him since yesterday lunchtime.

And no one ever saw him bring anyone back

so if Marcus was having an affair with Anaan Kamel

it doesn't look like they met here.

Boss.

Wow.

Beats stuffing it under a mattress, I suppose.

Frozen assets.

Yes, Annie, what is it?

OK. Find out what you can.

It seems that Marcus Leyton was sacked by his chambers

two and a half weeks ago.

Mr Kamel did it in person, came down to the accounts office himself.

Do you know why he was sacked?

Something about messing up the tax returns, I think.

Anyway, Marcus went ballistic.

Said all sorts of things, threatening Mr Kamel and that,

said he'd be sorry, that he'd pay for this.

Did Mrs Kamel have much to do with Marcus?

Not really. Sometimes she'd stay late and they'd go through the expenses.

What was it like, the Kamels being married and working in the same office?

They were pretty good, I think.

If there was a problem at home, they tried to leave it there.

Didn't always succeed, of course.

- What, they had rows here? - No. Just...

you know, looks.

- Recently? - Nothing you could put your finger on.

But plenty of silence, you know what I mean?

OK.

So, where did this money in the freezer come from?

Was Marcus Leyton into drugs? Did he bet?

Was he stealing from chambers?

Maybe that's what Raheel found out and that's why he sacked him.

But if Marcus was stealing, Raheel didn't report it.

I'll look into it, find out exactly why he was sacked.

So, Marcus, what, kidnaps Anaan and shoots her as revenge?

Well, why not kill Raheel? That's who his argument was with.

Raheel Kamel was where he said he was

when his wife got the bruises on her face.

He checked into the Astine hotel in Sheffield at 6:37 PM.

So his daughter wasn't covering for him.

I think she's covering for someone.

I think we need to talk about your mother's fall, Nafeesah.

I don't want to.

You don't know what he's like.

Who?

You know who hurt your mother.

No more covering up. Tell us who did this.
