Silent Witness

Name's Amir Aziz.

He's been stabbed.

I'm so sorry about your brother.

But this is a murder investigation. We need all the evidence we can get.

Knife tip.

Drug squad have picked up a trafficker in a hotel

near the airport.

What are you saying, that the drug mule got a call from Amir Aziz?

Mama.

So who is she, then?

Sarah Begovic. Bosnian extraction.

She saw her father die just because he is a Muslim.

Left home two-and-a-half years ago. Ended up in Raqqah in Syria,

married off to another British jihadi, Zak Latif.

Where is he now? He died.

A few months ago.

I've seen him. At the mosque. Do you remember?

No.

Why are you back, Sarah? I need you to take Mousa for a while.

I can't get drawn into anything.

So what's the connection between her and the murdered imam?

He was anti-extremism, big-time. He was a good guy.

Faith can blind people sometimes, can't it?

If I like someone, then that's it.

Brothers and sisters,

we implore you to strike upon the necks of the infidel.

Begovic.

Strike at their hearts.

Let them know that vengeance is upon them.

We followed procedure. We called it in.

Is she alive? Just.

How did they find us, huh?

Your mother?

No! You told her I was still alive.

Why would I do that, Zak?

Make him shut up!

Sh-sh-sh. You must have been followed somehow.

What?

Tell me.

Oi, oi, oi! You know something, you tell me.

Tell me!

I got money.

From bringing in drugs.

Maybe that's how they found me.

We've got prints.

How many casings? Four.

From a handgun?

Semi-automatic? Yeah.

See the impression left by the firing pin? Square.

Means the gun was a Glock. Anything on the assailant?

Yeah, neighbour saw a car, small VW. She's not sure of the model.

I put a call out and there's cameras on the A13

so we're getting them checked.

So what the hell was Begovic doing here?

Ryman wasn't following her, was she?

I've heard she was chasing a lead on the mosque murder.

You two shouldn't have been here.

We didn't know what we'd find.

As soon as we did, I called it in.

You been debriefed?

Aye. Well, get yourself home.

I'd like to go to the hospital, if that's OK?

I'll drive you.

Can you give me a couple of minutes? Yeah.

Here we go.

Might have some DNA.

I'm done here.

Ryman's going to need surgery.

Were you thinking of taking a look beforehand? Yeah.

Stay here.

Looks like a subcapsular haematoma on the liver.

She's going into theatre in 15 minutes, so make the most of it. OK.

OK...

We've got exit wounds to the right superior quadrant of the abdomen.

Can we take a look at her back for entry wounds? Sorry.

I'm taking fingernail samples from the right hand.

There's dust and dirt in the palm of the hand.

And a small piece...

of what looks like tarmac on the right forefinger.

Abrasions to the torso.

And to the right side of the face. Most likely from where she fell.

Can we get anything more at this stage?

Thomas? Oh, no.

No, that should do it.

I'll need you to record your visit in the notes. Sure.

Hey...

Hey, sh, sh, sh.

They're going to take you to surgery. You'll be fine.

Amir's a victim.

He's innocent.

Is that...? We-we, uh, we had dinner. I stayed over.

Are you OK?

Yeah.

Yeah, I...

I'll follow you out.

Oh, Doctor.

Could you give me a call when she gets out of surgery? Of course.

So you know, she's asked us to call her son.

Her son? In Galway. He can't get here till tomorrow. Right.

Fancy doing a jigsaw?

What's this? Occupational therapy? This is the window of the safe house.

Begovic fired through it. I want to get an idea of the pattern of shots,

if I can.

Shall we start with the corners?

How is she? Not good.

Not good.

Nikki, it's a Glock 17 but there's nothing on the database

matching this exact gun.

So no history of it being used in other crimes? No.

Check this out.

We've pieced together what we can of the window

and this is at the same height as it was in the safe house.

Mm-hm. How tall is Begovic again? 1 metre 65.

Same height as me. Mm, perfect.

Can you take your heels off? Come on, quick sticks.

Hey, shorty.

OK, hold your hand out like you were aiming a gun.

Right, now, to hit Ryman from the first floor, the gun would

have to have been pointing downwards by about ten degrees, meaning...

It would have hit the window here. Exactly.

Except it didn't, it hit it here.

So she was too short? Mm-hm.

Unless she was standing on a chair or wearing incredibly high heels.

No, there was nothing there, it was just a space behind the window.

And heels or no heels... nah.

So what about the prints? And the hair that you found?

That was short and dark, right? Begovic's hair is long and brown.

Running the prints now but anyone could have been in that flat

at any time, could have been dozens of people through there.

No, Nina Ryman was tracing a male suspect.

There was somebody else in there.

Somebody else fired that gun.

I arranged to meet a guy in Turkey.

Cocaine? Heroin.

How much?

15 grand for a kilo.

Where'd you leave it?

It's under a bed at my mum's.

She'll have to have it, Zak, if we're not here.

She'll need it to bring up Mousa... 15 grand to bring him up?

I don't think so.

They let us bring him with us.

I know.

And I made that happen.

I'm sorry. Drugs are haram.

They're forbidden.

People have been whipped for... for touching them.

I've told you... What if you'd been picked up?

This whole thing would be finished. Over.

Why would you... I told you, for Mousa.

Are we going to have to abandon this?

What if they know the target? They can't.

They knew the safe house. Nobody knows the target.

Zak... No!

No, this is on you.

You did this.

Gotcha.

We've got a match. One of the prints from the house.

Zak Latif? That's not possible.

He's dead.

That's the intel we had. Where from?

From our contacts in Syria, plus it was all over social media.

And you're saying that was deliberate misinformation? Possibly.

To cover him getting back into the UK?

He's already dead so no-one's looking for him.

So we have both of them in the house now, Begovic and Latif -

which one of them shot Nina Ryman?

Zak Latif.

Right.

Begovic's mother is in custody and her house is being watched.

What about his family? Could they have gone to them?

He doesn't have a family, he grew up in care.

People he met in Feltham? Feltham Young Offenders? Yeah.

That was where he was radicalised - other inmates.

So he got preyed on? Possibly. What does it matter?

OK, so what about the baby?

The caliphate have obviously let her bring the kid

back from Syria for a reason,

so... what if she went to her mother's to try and leave him with her?

But she didn't leave him with her, did she?

No, she's still hauling him around.

Why go to all the trouble smuggling him in just to try and off-load him?

Because it's family and because this is a trip

she isn't intending to come back from.

So they're on a mission.

It might not be all my fault.

Tell me about the imam.

What is there to tell?

A man is dead, I saw it on TV.

And?

If that was you...

Why would that have been me?

Because he called me and now he's been killed.

And you honestly think that I would do that?

To an imam?

How would I know what goes on in your head?

I feel like...

I don't know you at all.

Yeah, but a woman.

They don't use women for that kind of thing in the UK.
