26! Come here!

I'll teach you!

If you run, she'll get what's coming to you!

Don't listen to her! Just run!

26! You'll not get far!

What do you think?

It looks like a serial killer's den.

I like it.

You would. Half the electrics don't work. It's like a tomb!

No through traffic. Not from the living.

Where's my office?

It's... somewhere on the other side of those boxes.

How do I get to it?

Through the boxes?

I haven't got an office, have I?

Why are we down here? It's quieter. No-one's going to find us.

There's that too. SCREAMING

Stella? There's a rat! A rat?

A huge rat. All right.

I'll find something to kill it.

Where is it? Under the shelf.

Don't kill Hannibal! Hannibal?

Don't kill him. Where is he? Where is he? You want him alive?!

Where is he? Where is he? There. There.

Where? Hannibal? Hannibal! Hannibal.

Dinner time. He's hungry and he's got a special diet.

There we are.

Are you guys going to be all right down here? Yeah. We'll be fine.

I'll be up in my lab. OK.

Bye, Hannibal. PHONE RINGS

The phone works! Well, maybe someone should get it. Stella? Yeah. I'm going.

This is the call answering division with a message for Detective Superintendent Boyd.

We have a DNA search that is flagging as connected to one of your cold cases.

Look at that bird, she's starkers! Get your camera out!

Wahey! HORN BEEPS

Get down! Go! Go! Just go!

26! You'll not get far!

This is 26.

Another pair of hands for you, sister.

You... show her what to do. Yes, sister.

Well, get back to work! You lazy hussies!

This way.

It's OK. It's OK.

I'm just going to put this on to keep you warm, OK?

My name's PC Katrina Howard.

Now can you tell me your name?

'Found on Nine Mile Road in Downshire in the early hours of this morning...'

Naked, suffering trauma and apparent memory loss.

They ran her DNA through the system to try and identify her.

She flagged as a person of interest in one of your cold cases. No ID on her yet? No, sir.

Anyone making a search of the area?

We haven't got any available units...

Where is she? Any idea what happened to her?

She's got some ligature marks on her wrists and the rape kit showed positive.

Have you put that through that lab?

I made a request but they're backed up and said it would take a few days.

Has she spoken?

So, do you want to try and speak to her?

No. Have all the medical on her and the rape kit sent to my lab.

OK. Are you taking the case, sir? Yes. Right, cos I've got to get back to my unit.

You stay here until I get someone to relieve you.

But I need to get back, sir, as I said, I... Stay.

Sir.

Where is she?

I crashed. What about woman?!

She escaped. The boot must have sprung open when I hit...

Coban!

What?

We have problem.

I lost her. That is problem.

It was an accident. Kill this piece of English shit!

I'm not English. I'm Turk, just like you. Like me?

You think this makes you like me?

Let go!

You cry like a bitch. Enough.

Enough.

So, our cold case links the unknown woman to the murder of Resat Topal,

found dead in his office on 14th January, 1967 alongside this, still unidentified white male.

The Clubs & Vice files say Topal was part of the influx from Turkey in the '50s.

'Did they have anything on him?' 'They suspected the club was a front for prostitution.'

What about this guy? No ID on him.

They believe he was in his 20s. No form.

OK. Crime scene, what do we know?

The original post-mortem says that Resat was killed with a single stab

wound through his gut and on up into his heart.

The murder weapon was a Samurai sword which was found

in the clutches of the unidentified male, in his right hand.

And do we know where it came from? Yes, we do.

It came from this ceremonial stand

which was also in the room. Oh, right, and they're a pair, right? Yeah.

Do we have these swords? Yes, upstairs in the lab...

I'm going to run tests. What was this man's cause of death?

The unidentified male's cause of death was an intra-cranial

haemorrhage caused by a blow, or a number of blows to his temple.

You can see the marks made there by this very distinctive sovereign ring.

Which Topal was wearing?

Yes, it was on the hand. So he pummelled him

with his right fist, ring on middle finger. Yeah.

How does a guy who was punched to death then stab the other guy with a sword?

Well, maybe he didn't die immediately.

Third party? What about our mysterious woman?

What's her connection? Our mysterious lady...

Her blood was found on the mouths of the two deceased males.

Her blood was on their lips?

Yeah.

Was it found anywhere else? No.

So, what are the choices? She bit them or they bit her.

Yes, but if she bit them you'd see evidence of it and there isn't and, well, we can't know if they bit her.

Perhaps it was a vampiric ritual? Maybe she was a prostitute hitting back at her pimps.

Come on, now in 1967, she'd have been a very young teenager...

take an awful lot of strength or rage to kill a man so powerful and violent.

So we have a 15, 16-year-old girl who was in, possibly, a brothel with two dead men, one

identified as Resat Topal, the other still unidentified.

So was this a gangland killing?

Or is it about...

the girl? Sir! Locals have found an abandoned car close to where the woman was picked up.

Don't let them go anywhere near it. All right, let's go. Do you need me?

Sorry? I was wondering if you needed me. No, no.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

26!

Do I know you?

No.

Are you a doctor?

No, I'm a psychologist.

I can't remem... What's my name?

We don't know.

Why won't they tell me what happened to me?

Because we don't know yet.

But why can't I remember?

Maybe you're afraid to.

I don't understand.

Well, the mind has an ability to protect itself...

to block out events that it finds too disturbing.

So if you want to access those memories, we have to let the mind know that it's in a safe place.

OK.

So the first thing you have to accept is that whatever it is you've been through, you've survived it.

It's over now.

No...

I don't think so.

Why?

I've got this feeling something

terrible is going to happen.

No, that's normal, OK?

That's the resonance of the trauma you've been through... a sort of mental shadow of it.

What?

When I woke up this morning,

I remembered how to pray.

A memory as a little girl.

Well, that's good.

Back her up... Come on, keep her coming. Keep her coming.

More, more... Grand now.

26!

..and Jesus said to his disciple...

The van's here. Let someone else take it. I have it.

I know what you're up to.

If I found a way out of here would you come with me?

We'd have the Gardai scouring the country for us. Not if we get far enough away.

Hush now! The devil makes work for idle hands.

Be careful! Would you come with me? Maybe.

Will you meet me?

You think I can come and go as I please?

My boss has keys.

So? I can open the little door down in the garden.

Youse two go any slower you'll stop!

You lazy little tikes!

When?

Tonight? I might.

Could've been taken for a joyride.

No plates.

No tax. Well, now it's officially dodgy. There's blood on the airbag here.

We'll be able to put a time of deployment from the on-board computer.

Pens.

'Welcome to the digital navigator.'

One of these. 'You are using voice activator.'

'Please state destination.' Home. 'Turn around where possible.

That's handy.

I swear...

on the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Get out of it. Do you not want to?

What if something happens?

I'll look after you.

You expect me to believe that?

I swear. Swear on what?

I swear on the Sacred Heart.

Bless yourself then.

And say it at the same time.

I swear on the Sacred Heart of Jesus that if anything happens, I'll look after you.

Right.

'You have reached your destination.'

Gates. Let's see if it works.

So, the car does belong here.

DOORBELL RINGS

Curtains drawn.

I'll check the grounds. Let's go round the back.

Dog. Big dog.

See 'em?
