Mr Nilsen has confessed killing 15 men,
7
00:00:49,454 --> 00:00:54,491
mostly homeless and vulnerable,
over a period of five years.
8
00:00:54,845 --> 00:00:57,985
We're now in the process
of confirming that number.
9
00:00:58,706 --> 00:01:02,671
We're also aware that there are
up to seven attempted murders.
10
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:05,905
So we ask anybody who may have visited
11
00:01:05,930 --> 00:01:11,718
195 Melrose Avenue from
December 1978 to 1981
12
00:01:11,743 --> 00:01:16,371
or 23 Cranley Gardens from
1981 to February this year
13
00:01:16,396 --> 00:01:18,555
to please call Hornsey Police Station
14
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:20,421
on the number behind me.
15
00:01:24,531 --> 00:01:26,837
If you know of anybody
that's gone missing...
16
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:31,596
Sons, brothers, fathers...
17
00:01:32,260 --> 00:01:37,119
uncles, nephews, cousins, friends...
18
00:01:37,620 --> 00:01:39,060
please contact us.
19
00:01:40,068 --> 00:01:41,317
Because we need your help.
20
00:01:41,342 --> 00:01:43,316
Okay, questions, please. Yes, Tim.
21
00:01:43,341 --> 00:01:45,930
How many of the victims
have you identified so far?
22
00:01:45,955 --> 00:01:47,411
Other than Stephen Sinclair,
23
00:01:47,450 --> 00:01:49,107
we won't be naming
any more of the victims
24
00:01:49,131 --> 00:01:51,611
until official charges have
been brought against Mr Nilsen.
25
00:01:51,636 --> 00:01:53,356
- Charlotte.
- How likely is it
26
00:01:53,381 --> 00:01:56,653
that you'll identify
all 15 of his victims?
27
00:01:58,073 --> 00:02:01,474
Well, we're still in the process
of assessing and analysing
28
00:02:01,499 --> 00:02:03,802
the evidence from Melrose Avenue...

[PHONE RINGS]
31
00:02:15,738 --> 00:02:18,266
Yes, yes, I understand.
32
00:02:18,415 --> 00:02:21,328
We're absolutely certain,
he killed only male.
33
00:02:22,986 --> 00:02:25,983
His father recognised the
knives on the television.
34
00:02:26,008 --> 00:02:28,766
Gave them to him as a gift
for starting chef's school.
35
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:30,256
But according to him,
36
00:02:30,281 --> 00:02:32,181
his son never turned up
on the first day of class
37
00:02:32,205 --> 00:02:34,561
and he hasn't seen him since May, 1980,
38
00:02:34,586 --> 00:02:37,781
which would match Nilsen's
dates for his third victim.
39
00:02:37,985 --> 00:02:39,050
Next step?
40
00:02:39,075 --> 00:02:40,874
Well, Nilsen's requested a visit,
41
00:02:40,899 --> 00:02:44,024
so I'll take the photo with
me and get him to confirm.
42
00:02:44,049 --> 00:02:46,762
- Requested a visit?
- Yeah.
43
00:02:46,787 --> 00:02:48,851
I'm hoping he's remembered
some more names.
44
00:02:49,365 --> 00:02:52,055
- How are you coping?
- Oh, good.
45
00:02:53,093 --> 00:02:56,090
We're trying to get through the
8,000 missing persons reports.
46
00:02:56,115 --> 00:02:58,287
No, I'm good, thanks.
We need more manpower,
47
00:02:58,312 --> 00:02:59,982
but you know that.
48
00:03:00,302 --> 00:03:02,107
I'm still trying.
49
00:03:02,419 --> 00:03:04,529
What's going on with John the guardsman?
50
00:03:04,554 --> 00:03:06,980
Healey's checking all the
guardsmen called John.
51
00:03:07,005 --> 00:03:10,718
- He's been on that for a few weeks.
- There's 256 of them.
52
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:14,330
Gonna take some time,
but he'll find him.
53
00:03:15,121 --> 00:03:17,349
Speaking of which, erm...
54
00:03:18,592 --> 00:03:20,946
We think we might have another lead.
55
00:03:21,318 --> 00:03:24,560
Lodge found three dental
plates in the dig at Melrose.
56
00:03:24,585 --> 00:03:27,465
One of them is only made in Germany.
57
00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:29,793
So he thinks if he can go over there...
58
00:03:29,818 --> 00:03:31,496
- To Germany?
- He can narrow it down
59
00:03:31,521 --> 00:03:33,145
and probably come up with another name.
60
00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:36,238
Guv, look,
I know it's a long shot, but...
61
00:03:36,767 --> 00:03:39,087
If we get another name,
it's gotta be worth it, right?
62
00:03:41,006 --> 00:03:44,386
There's talk from the Yard.
As far as they're concerned,
63
00:03:44,411 --> 00:03:46,751
they already have him on
three counts of murder.
64
00:03:47,259 --> 00:03:49,548
We told the press last
week we think it's 15.
65
00:03:49,573 --> 00:03:51,806
Why do you think we're still active?
66
00:03:52,103 --> 00:03:53,587
I'm just warning you.
67
00:03:53,612 --> 00:03:56,452
We need to start closing
the leads we already have,
68
00:03:56,477 --> 00:03:59,705
not opening new ones,
especially in different countries.
69
00:04:00,048 --> 00:04:02,744
They're nervous about how
much this is costing already.
70
00:04:02,769 --> 00:04:04,425
Oh, so this is about money?
71
00:04:04,634 --> 00:04:07,681
Everything is always about money, Peter.
72
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:09,720
We've just gotta be smart.
73
00:04:11,549 --> 00:04:13,228
Thank you.
74
00:04:18,147 --> 00:04:20,664
No wonder that half of
Category A's on hunger strike.
75
00:04:20,689 --> 00:04:23,312
I might well join them,
just to break the monotony.
76
00:04:23,337 --> 00:04:24,337
No.
77
00:04:24,869 --> 00:04:26,669
Oh, and let me tell you...
78
00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:31,691
It's perfectly feasible to
be on normal rations in here
79
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:34,234
and still effectively
remain on hunger strike.
80
00:04:34,259 --> 00:04:35,870
I don't even know why I'm
Category A in the first place.
81
00:04:35,894 --> 00:04:37,806
I'm hardly gonna escape, commit suicide.
82
00:04:37,831 --> 00:04:39,026
- Des...
- The help I'm giving the police
83
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:40,376
should be rewarded, not punished.
84
00:04:40,401 --> 00:04:42,134
Let me see what we can do.
85
00:04:42,737 --> 00:04:44,416
You said that before.
86
00:04:47,822 --> 00:04:49,369
Martyn Duffey.
87
00:04:50,314 --> 00:04:51,892
Is he one of them?
88
00:04:52,002 --> 00:04:53,826
Yeah, of course. Martyn.
89
00:04:53,851 --> 00:04:55,411
Yeah, he was number three.
90
00:04:55,451 --> 00:04:57,971
The one I told you about
that I met at Euston Station.
91
00:04:59,138 --> 00:05:01,500
- Have you any more?
- Hopefully soon.
92
00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:05,040
You said that you had some
more information for me.
93
00:05:05,065 --> 00:05:08,148
Or was that just so you could
talk about your living situation?
94
00:05:08,173 --> 00:05:09,887
No, I'd never do that.
95
00:05:10,963 --> 00:05:12,417
Any news about Bleep?
96
00:05:12,824 --> 00:05:14,984
Just, I've heard nothing
about her since I got in here.
97
00:05:16,032 --> 00:05:19,605
I'll call the dogs' home.
See what I can find out.
98
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,777
I actually have another name for you.
99
00:05:24,007 --> 00:05:27,426
Uh... Yeah, one of the young men
at Melrose Avenue.
100
00:05:27,451 --> 00:05:29,411
I just woke up, his name was just there.
101
00:05:30,137 --> 00:05:31,775
Kenneth Ockenden.
102
00:05:33,183 --> 00:05:34,621
Ockenden?
103
00:05:34,778 --> 00:05:36,090
Hmm.
104
00:05:37,168 --> 00:05:40,783
You're a 100% sure? Kenneth Ockenden?
105
00:05:40,808 --> 00:05:43,851
Yeah. The Canadian lad, was all
over the news when he went missing.
106
00:05:43,891 --> 00:05:45,973
Did you hold his name back from us?
107
00:05:46,026 --> 00:05:47,826
No, why would you say that?
108
00:05:48,908 --> 00:05:51,187
I want these people
identified and laid to rest
109
00:05:51,212 --> 00:05:53,082
just as much as you do, Mr Jay.
110
00:05:53,107 --> 00:05:55,308
I'm simply trying to tell the truth.
111
00:06:00,431 --> 00:06:02,902
- But he can't have.
- Why not?
112
00:06:02,927 --> 00:06:05,737
Because Ockenden was
investigated for three years.
113
00:06:05,762 --> 00:06:07,933
Right, they found nothing.
114
00:06:08,168 --> 00:06:09,323
What are you thinking?
115
00:06:09,348 --> 00:06:10,827
Well, we're gonna request the files
116
00:06:10,852 --> 00:06:12,768
and treat it as a murder investigation.
117
00:06:12,793 --> 00:06:15,211
- What's the problem?
- I know some of the guys, Peter.
118
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:17,785
Ockenden was a difficult case for them.
119
00:06:17,891 --> 00:06:20,543
And the press weren't exactly
kind when they couldn't find him.
120
00:06:20,568 --> 00:06:22,582
All right, Steve, request the files.
121
00:06:24,627 --> 00:06:26,744
Can I tell Martyn Duffey's dad?
122
00:06:26,769 --> 00:06:29,571
I made him certain promises
when he first came forward.
123
00:06:30,207 --> 00:06:31,393
Yeah, course.
124
00:06:31,418 --> 00:06:34,250
Sorry, boss, you might
both want to hear this.
125
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:37,124
Someone's just called saying
he's Nilsen's biographer.
126
00:06:37,249 --> 00:06:38,593
- Eh?
- Yeah.
127
00:06:38,618 --> 00:06:39,726
He asked if we could tell him
128
00:06:39,750 --> 00:06:41,929
anything about
the investigation or the arrest.
129
00:06:42,459 --> 00:06:45,054
No, look, that's just
a rag trying to get a quote.
130
00:06:45,257 --> 00:06:47,265
If they call back, tell 'em to piss off.
131
00:06:47,290 --> 00:06:48,624
Gladly.
132
00:06:49,152 --> 00:06:50,569
Steve?
133
00:06:51,327 --> 00:06:53,319
Let me know when you get the files.
134
00:06:59,971 --> 00:07:02,763
Kenneth Ockenden. Canadian tourist.
135
00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:06,211
Left his hotel in Kings
Cross December 3rd.
136
00:07:06,265 --> 00:07:09,986
He was meant to meet
his uncle on the 5th
137
00:07:10,011 --> 00:07:13,187
to collect some money for
a plane home for Christmas.
138
00:07:13,796 --> 00:07:15,255
He was never seen again.
139
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,891
What, and Nilsen's
only just remembered this?
140
00:07:17,930 --> 00:07:20,656
Nilsen says he met
him in a West End pub.
141
00:07:21,517 --> 00:07:24,742
They talked about his camera,
they spent the day sightseeing.
142
00:07:25,265 --> 00:07:27,866
That night, he strangled him
with a headphone cord
143
00:07:27,891 --> 00:07:30,570
as Ockenden listened to
music in Melrose Avenue.
144
00:07:30,927 --> 00:07:33,787
He disposed of his body
in the garden, as per,
145
00:07:33,812 --> 00:07:36,820
so we are currently looking for
any signs of him in the dig.
146
00:07:36,845 --> 00:07:39,785
Now, look, we all hope that
we find something at Melrose,
147
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:43,451
but until we do, these files are our...
148
00:07:44,482 --> 00:07:45,802
They're our best shot.
149
00:07:46,734 --> 00:07:49,828
Now, look. I know you all think
you might know about this case
150
00:07:49,853 --> 00:07:52,718
because of the media coverage,
but we can't half-arse this.
151
00:07:53,137 --> 00:07:54,859
Nilsen is in there.
152
00:07:56,374 --> 00:07:57,812
Somewhere.
153
00:07:57,837 --> 00:07:59,437
Have you finished?
154
00:08:00,091 --> 00:08:03,211
I tell you explicitly not
to open any more leads
155
00:08:03,236 --> 00:08:06,203
and you open Kenneth bloody Ockenden!
156
00:08:06,411 --> 00:08:09,610
Ockenden's mother had links
to the Canadian parliament.
157
00:08:09,651 --> 00:08:11,928
His disappearance became political!
158
00:08:11,953 --> 00:08:14,011
So you can imagine the Yard's reaction
159
00:08:14,050 --> 00:08:18,250
to you making it a murder enquiry
with a serial killer as a suspect.
160
00:08:18,275 --> 00:08:20,523
- Nilsen says he killed him, guv.
- Of course he did!
161
00:08:20,548 --> 00:08:22,757
He'd say anything to stay in the papers.
162
00:08:25,504 --> 00:08:28,905
Ockenden doesn't fit
the victim profile, Peter.
163
00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:31,951
He wasn't homeless or an addict.
He wasn't even gay.
164
00:08:31,976 --> 00:08:34,671
- He had a girlfriend back in Canada.
- That doesn't mean anything.
165
00:08:34,696 --> 00:08:36,585
Then why did he go home with him?
166
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,343
What evidence have you found?
167
00:08:44,626 --> 00:08:47,060
You want us to tell his family
168
00:08:47,085 --> 00:08:50,291
that a boy the police
couldn't find for three years
169
00:08:50,316 --> 00:08:52,585
was actually killed by a former copper,
170
00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:54,610
and you don't have
any physical evidence?!
171
00:08:54,635 --> 00:08:56,595
When's he ever lied to us before?
172
00:08:56,765 --> 00:08:58,718
I've been trying to help you.
173
00:08:58,991 --> 00:09:02,510
Get you the money and support
you need to close this case.
174
00:09:02,770 --> 00:09:04,331
But you went behind my back
175
00:09:04,356 --> 00:09:07,116
and made us look like
a bunch of amateurs!
176
00:09:09,566 --> 00:09:11,593
You better be right about this.
177
00:09:23,287 --> 00:09:27,105
TV REPORTER: The gruesome search
continues at 195 Melrose Avenue
178
00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:29,942
for what police now believe
are dismembered remains
179
00:09:29,967 --> 00:09:32,880
that have been buried in the
garden for three years or more.
180
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:36,052
All day, detectives
and forensic science experts
181
00:09:36,077 --> 00:09:39,474
have been taking the bones for
examination in a laboratory.
182
00:09:39,499 --> 00:09:42,489
We found a small piece of the jaw
183
00:09:42,514 --> 00:09:45,514
and some teeth attached to it,
in the rear garden.
184
00:09:45,539 --> 00:09:49,278
And this morning, they found a
significant amount of human bones.
185
00:09:54,232 --> 00:09:57,036
Of what we've brought in,
a big percentage of them
186
00:09:57,061 --> 00:09:58,925
turned out to be animal bones.
187
00:09:58,950 --> 00:10:01,481
But of those that are definitely human,
188
00:10:01,506 --> 00:10:06,442
we estimate we have between
eight and 20 different victims.
189
00:10:07,861 --> 00:10:09,580
Are any of them from Ockenden?
190
00:10:09,848 --> 00:10:10,848
No.
191
00:10:11,713 --> 00:10:15,297
But a lot of them we couldn't
analyse due to fire damage.
192
00:10:15,331 --> 00:10:17,837
Did we manage to identify
anyone from them?
193
00:10:17,862 --> 00:10:19,509
I'm afraid not.
194
00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:24,500
There must be some more tests we can do.
195
00:10:24,525 --> 00:10:27,756
Look... I know it's not
the news we hoped for.
196
00:10:27,781 --> 00:10:29,410
But it was always gonna be a long shot,
197
00:10:29,435 --> 00:10:31,195
considering the amount of time passed
198
00:10:31,220 --> 00:10:35,109
and the astute method of disposal.
199
00:10:37,894 --> 00:10:41,493
I'd say we were fortunate
to get Martyn Duffey.
200
00:10:41,518 --> 00:10:44,430
But you said there
could be as many as 20?
201
00:10:44,455 --> 00:10:47,609
Well, as I say, it's an estimate,
but it's certainly a possibility.
202
00:10:49,848 --> 00:10:51,828
I'll give you gentlemen a minute.
203
00:10:51,853 --> 00:10:53,156
Thank you.
204
00:10:59,331 --> 00:11:02,351
We need to re-test the headphones
found at Cranley Gardens.
205
00:11:03,086 --> 00:11:05,585
No, Peter, all Ockenden is doing
206
00:11:05,610 --> 00:11:07,867
is sending us up
a bunch of blind alleys.
207
00:11:08,814 --> 00:11:11,694
We may need to move on from him.
You heard what he said.
208
00:11:11,719 --> 00:11:13,422
Possibly 20 victims.
209
00:11:14,047 --> 00:11:17,092
Which means Nilsen may have been
lying to us from the very start.
210
00:11:18,935 --> 00:11:20,928
I'll call it in.
211
00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:32,037
I made something for you.
212
00:11:34,530 --> 00:11:36,639
It's all jumbled and
in no special order,
213
00:11:36,664 --> 00:11:38,928
but I figured, you're the artist.
214
00:11:41,571 --> 00:11:44,730
Only you know what's important
and how to select it, so...
215
00:11:49,051 --> 00:11:51,014
What made you draw these?
216
00:11:51,053 --> 00:11:53,014
Nostalgia, I suppose.
217
00:11:58,597 --> 00:12:02,459
I thought you told the police that
you didn't remember your victims?
218
00:12:02,484 --> 00:12:03,720
No, their names, no.
219
00:12:03,745 --> 00:12:07,304
But that doesn't mean I don't
remember our time together.
220
00:12:10,725 --> 00:12:13,858
I took him up on maybe four occasions
221
00:12:13,883 --> 00:12:15,998
in the following two weeks.
222
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,928
What did you do when you...
223
00:12:19,857 --> 00:12:21,295
"brought him up"?
224
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,709
Well, his naked body fascinated me.
225
00:12:23,821 --> 00:12:27,385
I'd roll him onto his stomach,
roll him onto his back.
226
00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:29,530
Touching him. Stroking him.
227
00:12:29,555 --> 00:12:32,092
I was thrilled that
I had full control...
228
00:12:32,453 --> 00:12:35,326
ownership over this beautiful body.
229
00:12:35,351 --> 00:12:40,730
So control was the, um... motivation?
230
00:12:41,162 --> 00:12:43,905
Well, nothing's ever
about one thing, Brian.
231
00:12:45,213 --> 00:12:47,068
Sometimes I'd, erm...
232
00:12:47,093 --> 00:12:49,804
put them in the other
armchair next to mine
233
00:12:49,829 --> 00:12:51,794
while I'd watch an evening's television.
234
00:12:51,819 --> 00:12:53,978
I'd look over and imagine
what we'd be talking about,
235
00:12:54,003 --> 00:12:55,279
if he could speak.
236
00:12:55,779 --> 00:12:57,379
Then at other times,
237
00:12:57,404 --> 00:12:59,256
you know, I couldn't actually
believe this was happening,
238
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,185
that this was my life. But, uh...
239
00:13:02,588 --> 00:13:05,091
Death gives no refunds, so...
240
00:13:06,545 --> 00:13:08,106
We spend so much time talking about me,
241
00:13:08,131 --> 00:13:10,946
but I feel I hardly know
anything about you.
242
00:13:11,396 --> 00:13:12,931
I don't even know if you're married.
243
00:13:13,574 --> 00:13:17,957
No, no. But I do have
my emotional attachments.
244
00:13:18,490 --> 00:13:22,010
Okay. Maybe a more simpler question.
245
00:13:23,529 --> 00:13:28,105
Do you remember when you
first became aware of death?
246
00:13:28,130 --> 00:13:30,908
I grew up in a fishing village,
Brian, so...
247
00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:34,281
Death surrounds you
when the sea's involved.
248
00:13:34,650 --> 00:13:36,290
That and the poverty.
249
00:13:37,855 --> 00:13:41,470
I saw my grandfather's corpse
when I was six year old.
250
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:45,040
- How did he die?
- At sea. He was a fisherman.
251
00:13:45,451 --> 00:13:48,370
And they brought his
coffin back to the house,
252
00:13:48,395 --> 00:13:49,872
it was normal back then.
253
00:13:49,897 --> 00:13:53,450
And my mother, erm...
254
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,466
woke me up and said,
"Do you want to see your grandad?"
255
00:13:56,490 --> 00:13:59,075
I went into the living room
and he was there, in a box.
256
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:01,763
- How did they explain that?
- Well, they didn't.
257
00:14:02,730 --> 00:14:04,177
You didn't know that he was dead?
258
00:14:04,202 --> 00:14:05,872
No, they just said he was sleeping.
259
00:14:05,897 --> 00:14:09,685
After he left, the mystery of death,
it always fascinated me.
260
00:14:09,710 --> 00:14:12,139
Sometimes I'd put talc on my face,
261
00:14:12,515 --> 00:14:15,705
paint my lips blue and poke my eyes
262
00:14:15,730 --> 00:14:18,770
till they were bloodshot
and just look in the mirror.
263
00:14:19,666 --> 00:14:21,655
To make yourself seem dead?
264
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,950
Aye.
265
00:14:22,975 --> 00:14:25,725
And was this by yourself or...
266
00:14:28,214 --> 00:14:30,600
with somebody else there?
267
00:14:31,197 --> 00:14:32,516
Both.
268
00:14:34,038 --> 00:14:36,158
What would you do then?
269
00:14:37,108 --> 00:14:39,460
I would just sit and stare.
270
00:14:41,022 --> 00:14:44,397
Imagining the abyss as I touched him.
271
00:14:44,422 --> 00:14:47,030
And myself in my own dead image.
272
00:14:47,171 --> 00:14:48,865
So this is about sex.
273
00:14:48,890 --> 00:14:50,960
No! You keep looking
for these simple answers,
274
00:14:50,985 --> 00:14:53,217
but you debase it to make
it purely about that.
275
00:14:53,242 --> 00:14:54,820
I'm not trying to simplify anything,
276
00:14:54,845 --> 00:14:56,756
but you did have sex
with these young men
277
00:14:56,781 --> 00:14:58,936
- after they had died.
- No, I did not.
278
00:14:59,123 --> 00:15:00,639
Did I enjoy them?
279
00:15:00,664 --> 00:15:02,272
Yes. Did I...
280
00:15:02,944 --> 00:15:05,013
gain some satisfaction
281
00:15:05,038 --> 00:15:09,385
from looking at their naked
bodies next to mine in the mirror?
282
00:15:09,499 --> 00:15:10,931
But I didn't penetrate them.
283
00:15:10,971 --> 00:15:12,931
Look, look, the wicked thing that I did
284
00:15:12,971 --> 00:15:14,999
was to squeeze the life
out of a human being.
285
00:15:15,024 --> 00:15:17,184
That was wrong, that was unforgivable,
286
00:15:17,209 --> 00:15:18,717
I will be properly punished for it.
287
00:15:18,742 --> 00:15:21,105
But what I did to a corpse
is neither here nor there.
288
00:15:21,327 --> 00:15:24,374
Brian, if you are more disgusted
by what I did to a corpse
289
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:26,200
than what I did to a living man,
290
00:15:26,225 --> 00:15:28,705
then your moral system is upside-down
291
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:30,409
and needs overhauling.
292
00:15:33,179 --> 00:15:35,019
You're right.
293
00:15:38,404 --> 00:15:41,725
I didn't intend to judge you.
294
00:15:45,451 --> 00:15:47,131
Let's go back to your childhood.
295
00:15:47,156 --> 00:15:48,865
Did you have many...
296
00:15:48,890 --> 00:15:50,413
Any friends at school?
297
00:15:50,438 --> 00:15:52,452
I'm glad we're doing this, Brian.
298
00:15:54,437 --> 00:15:57,975
Me too. It's nice to be listened to.
299
00:16:00,631 --> 00:16:02,499
Makes me feel human again.
300
00:16:03,085 --> 00:16:05,245
All these, treating me like a criminal.
301
00:16:05,481 --> 00:16:07,827
Do you not consider
yourself to be a criminal?
302
00:16:07,852 --> 00:16:09,856
How I consider myself is obsolete.
303
00:16:09,881 --> 00:16:13,345
I deserve the right to be treated
as innocent until proven guilty.
304
00:16:13,370 --> 00:16:15,792
Not have to wear the
clothes of a convicted felon
305
00:16:15,817 --> 00:16:17,937
whilst I wait for my day in court.
306
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,799
Surely you can see that?
307
00:16:33,311 --> 00:16:35,589
We're sorry about the result of the dig.
308
00:16:35,865 --> 00:16:37,409
We all share your disappointment.
309
00:16:37,434 --> 00:16:40,146
Thank you. It was a blow,
310
00:16:40,171 --> 00:16:43,066
but we have other points of
enquiry we're now investigating.
311
00:16:43,487 --> 00:16:45,175
There's been a development.
312
00:16:45,999 --> 00:16:47,511
Turns out that Nilsen's been getting
313
00:16:47,536 --> 00:16:49,480
regular visits from a biographer.
314
00:16:49,737 --> 00:16:52,073
Apparently his letter got
through the prison censors
315
00:16:52,098 --> 00:16:54,426
and they'd been meeting
for a number of weeks.
316
00:16:54,451 --> 00:16:56,995
Our fear here is that
it's only a matter of time
317
00:16:57,020 --> 00:16:58,995
before the victims' identities,
318
00:16:59,020 --> 00:17:01,027
and especially one as
well known as Ockenden,
319
00:17:01,052 --> 00:17:02,441
become public knowledge.
320
00:17:02,466 --> 00:17:06,066
Therefore, we feel we need
to inform his family.
321
00:17:06,091 --> 00:17:09,058
We're still looking for
confirmation on Ockenden, sir.
322
00:17:09,101 --> 00:17:11,260
The only reason we've
been patient up until now
323
00:17:11,285 --> 00:17:12,558
was the hope that the dig
324
00:17:12,583 --> 00:17:15,385
would give us something to
tie Ockenden to Melrose.
325
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:16,826
But it's been a month.
326
00:17:16,851 --> 00:17:19,245
Yeah, I'm aware of that.
But if we had more men
327
00:17:19,270 --> 00:17:21,670
and the word processor I've
requested again and again...
328
00:17:21,695 --> 00:17:22,878
Peter.
329
00:17:22,903 --> 00:17:25,651
There is nothing I would like
more than to find Ken
330
00:17:25,676 --> 00:17:28,185
and to bring anyone
who harmed him to justice.
331
00:17:28,210 --> 00:17:29,800
But if we don't have any evidence
332
00:17:29,825 --> 00:17:31,847
- by now...
- We'll find the evidence.
333
00:17:33,174 --> 00:17:35,581
I admire your confidence.
334
00:17:36,808 --> 00:17:38,967
But this investigation
is beginning to harm
335
00:17:38,992 --> 00:17:41,714
the reputation of
the Metropolitan Police.
336
00:17:41,966 --> 00:17:44,894
We've only just repaired the
damage done by the riots.
337
00:17:44,919 --> 00:17:46,625
How are we damaging its reputation?
338
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:50,251
Because people are starting to ask
why this is all taking so long.
339
00:17:50,276 --> 00:17:52,058
Do you know how an investigation works?
340
00:17:52,083 --> 00:17:53,083
Peter.
341
00:17:53,698 --> 00:17:55,480
Wait for me outside.
342
00:18:09,566 --> 00:18:11,665
- What the hell was that?
- Top brass care more
343
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:13,650
about their reputation
than finding these men.
344
00:18:13,675 --> 00:18:14,847
Oh, grow up.
345
00:18:14,872 --> 00:18:17,323
You're not the only one
who cares about this case.
346
00:18:17,943 --> 00:18:20,105
Let me give you some advice, Peter.
347
00:18:20,130 --> 00:18:22,128
Toe the fucking line!
348
00:18:25,983 --> 00:18:27,691
Yeah, that's fine.
349
00:18:27,730 --> 00:18:29,517
No, I don't mind
holding while you find out.
350
00:18:29,542 --> 00:18:30,659
What's going on?
351
00:18:30,684 --> 00:18:32,082
Healey thinks he's got John.
352
00:18:32,107 --> 00:18:34,284
Don't bloody jinx it, Steve.
353
00:18:35,348 --> 00:18:37,213
All the guardsmen were accounted for,
354
00:18:37,238 --> 00:18:40,066
so we were screwed, basically.
Back to square one.
355
00:18:40,292 --> 00:18:41,894
I went to see the West End branch,
356
00:18:41,919 --> 00:18:43,826
asked them if they knew any Johns
357
00:18:43,851 --> 00:18:45,667
from High Wycombe that frequented Soho.
358
00:18:45,692 --> 00:18:48,964
After giving me a load of
grief about the Ockenden case,
359
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,089
they threw me a name.
360
00:18:52,071 --> 00:18:53,644
John Howlett.
361
00:18:53,854 --> 00:18:57,394
A ne'er-do-well, in and out
of different homes as a kid,
362
00:18:57,419 --> 00:18:59,269
well-known on the streets of Soho.
363
00:18:59,514 --> 00:19:01,814
- Sound familiar?
- Yeah.
364
00:19:01,839 --> 00:19:05,018
Now we're just checking the blood
type from the remains in Cranley.
365
00:19:05,534 --> 00:19:06,706
Okay.
366
00:19:06,731 --> 00:19:09,011
I think we deserve a bit of luck,
don't you?
367
00:19:09,830 --> 00:19:11,270
Yes.
368
00:19:12,164 --> 00:19:13,725
Yep.
369
00:19:15,539 --> 00:19:17,964
Okay. Thanks.
370
00:19:20,410 --> 00:19:21,771
We got a match.
371
00:19:23,901 --> 00:19:25,807
Great work, Chris!
372
00:19:25,832 --> 00:19:28,072
Why do you think Nilsen
said he was a guardsman?
373
00:19:28,659 --> 00:19:30,291
I've got no idea.
374
00:19:31,174 --> 00:19:33,627
First round's on me! You coming?
375
00:19:33,652 --> 00:19:35,773
I'll be there in a bit.
376
00:19:35,798 --> 00:19:37,678
I've just gotta finish up here first.
377
00:20:02,011 --> 00:20:04,073
Thought you were all down the pub.
378
00:20:05,541 --> 00:20:07,135
You, uh...
379
00:20:07,479 --> 00:20:09,221
looking for anything in particular?
380
00:20:09,245 --> 00:20:10,605
Kenneth Ockenden.
381
00:20:10,630 --> 00:20:13,151
You're not gonna find him there,
that's the Cranley Gardens log.
382
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,728
- Did we fingerprint the camera?
- We did.
383
00:20:16,753 --> 00:20:18,198
What about the books we found?
384
00:20:18,441 --> 00:20:20,041
Yep, all the covers.
385
00:20:20,066 --> 00:20:21,454
But not the pages?
386
00:20:21,479 --> 00:20:23,106
How do you touch
pages and not the covers?
387
00:20:23,130 --> 00:20:25,144
There's just a few books that might
give us something that...
388
00:20:25,168 --> 00:20:27,293
The photography book,
the London guide, things like that.
389
00:20:27,317 --> 00:20:28,940
The A to Z.
390
00:20:31,097 --> 00:20:33,057
Guv, is this a good use of time?
391
00:20:38,425 --> 00:20:40,146
I'll see what I can do.
392
00:21:08,989 --> 00:21:10,526
Can he harm us?
393
00:21:11,073 --> 00:21:12,643
I don't see how.
394
00:21:13,057 --> 00:21:15,081
What do you think they talk about?
395
00:21:15,402 --> 00:21:17,306
I don't even wanna know.
396
00:21:17,448 --> 00:21:19,811
Guv. Woman at the front desk,
397
00:21:19,836 --> 00:21:21,987
thinks her ex-partner
might be a possible victim.
398
00:21:22,012 --> 00:21:23,691
Cheers, Chris.
399
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,682
Yeah, he's on his way down.
400
00:21:26,112 --> 00:21:27,307
Great.
401
00:21:28,010 --> 00:21:30,401
He went missing about a year ago.
402
00:21:32,362 --> 00:21:35,443
Last time I saw him,
he came round to the house.
403
00:21:35,686 --> 00:21:37,366
We'd been separated a few months,
404
00:21:37,391 --> 00:21:39,466
said he wanted to spend
more time with Shane.
405
00:21:39,878 --> 00:21:41,650
But I knew he was
just there for the money,
406
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:43,667
so he could go down to Soho and score.
407
00:21:44,925 --> 00:21:48,125
We... had an argument
that day and he left.
408
00:21:48,150 --> 00:21:50,187
I know I haven't seen him since.
409
00:21:50,453 --> 00:21:54,555
A week after that,
he had a court date, which he missed.
410
00:21:55,545 --> 00:21:58,026
And he always attended court,
no matter what.
411
00:21:58,413 --> 00:21:59,959
So I went down to the job centre,
412
00:21:59,984 --> 00:22:01,110
they told me he hadn't signed on.
413
00:22:01,134 --> 00:22:02,483
So then I rang his solicitor,
414
00:22:02,508 --> 00:22:05,331
and they told me to wait a
while and that he'd show up.
415
00:22:05,877 --> 00:22:07,695
But I knew.
416
00:22:08,491 --> 00:22:10,640
And then I saw you on the news,
417
00:22:10,665 --> 00:22:12,609
and even though I know
Graham wasn't bent,
418
00:22:12,634 --> 00:22:15,695
just something kept turning in my gut.
419
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,101
Not all of his victims were gay.
420
00:22:18,211 --> 00:22:21,328
Some just needed a bed or some food.
421
00:22:24,712 --> 00:22:26,386
Do you have a photo?
422
00:22:27,105 --> 00:22:28,386
Yeah.
423
00:22:30,949 --> 00:22:32,660
This.
424
00:22:36,990 --> 00:22:39,128
So, he had a criminal record?
425
00:22:39,331 --> 00:22:40,667
Of course.
426
00:22:41,863 --> 00:22:43,387
He almost wore it as a badge of honour,
427
00:22:43,411 --> 00:22:45,308
you know, him against the system.
428
00:22:46,695 --> 00:22:48,816
I just need to know what happened.
429
00:22:50,716 --> 00:22:54,019
I know he's been a bit of a shit, but...
430
00:22:54,734 --> 00:22:56,295
he's Shane's dad.
431
00:22:59,825 --> 00:23:02,339
DCI Peter Jay to see Dennis Nilsen.
432
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:21,566
I need you to identify some photos.
433
00:23:21,591 --> 00:23:22,591
How's Bleep?
434
00:23:23,491 --> 00:23:24,707
Well, you made it pretty busy for me
435
00:23:24,731 --> 00:23:26,480
the last time I was here, Des.
436
00:23:27,553 --> 00:23:30,003
Haven't had a chance to
find out about your dog.
437
00:23:34,047 --> 00:23:38,222
Graham Allen and John Howlett,
AKA John the Guardsman.
438
00:23:38,247 --> 00:23:40,597
Although he wasn't a guardsman, was he?
439
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:42,585
He was just another young man,
440
00:23:42,610 --> 00:23:44,675
finding his way on the streets of Soho.
441
00:23:45,129 --> 00:23:47,519
I am sick of helping people
442
00:23:47,544 --> 00:23:49,980
who take advantage of my good nature.
443
00:23:51,081 --> 00:23:53,003
I am deserving of some more balance.
444
00:23:53,028 --> 00:23:54,956
What, like with your biographer?
445
00:23:59,690 --> 00:24:01,542
Did you kill these men?
446
00:24:04,427 --> 00:24:07,227
How many people did you
kill in Melrose Avenue?
447
00:24:08,448 --> 00:24:10,949
Did you kill Kenneth Ockenden?
448
00:24:11,185 --> 00:24:13,908
If I hadn't wanted you to,
you wouldn't have found me.
449
00:24:13,933 --> 00:24:15,586
- So why would I lie to you now?
- Look at the photos.
450
00:24:15,610 --> 00:24:17,635
I've been convicted
of no crimes as of yet,
451
00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:20,105
therefore I am innocent
until proven guilty.
452
00:24:20,130 --> 00:24:21,131
Where is this coming from?
453
00:24:21,155 --> 00:24:23,167
In Category A, like some
kind of dangerous criminal...
454
00:24:23,191 --> 00:24:26,222
Look at the photos and tell
me if you killed these men...
455
00:24:26,489 --> 00:24:28,855
- Des!
- I'm your only witness!
456
00:24:34,507 --> 00:24:38,230
This man has a seven-year-old son.
457
00:24:40,133 --> 00:24:43,550
Do the right thing,
and look at the fucking photos.
458
00:24:51,531 --> 00:24:53,667
Did you kill this man?
459
00:24:59,261 --> 00:25:01,182
No comment.
460
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,277
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jay.
461
00:25:24,302 --> 00:25:25,472
Brian Masters.
462
00:25:25,497 --> 00:25:27,808
- Drink?
- No, thank you.
463
00:25:36,846 --> 00:25:38,128
You found it all right, then?
464
00:25:38,153 --> 00:25:40,353
- Oh, yes, no trouble at all.
- Good.
465
00:25:46,872 --> 00:25:51,003
So, how long have you been writing?
466
00:25:51,501 --> 00:25:53,980
About 15 years. You?
467
00:25:54,005 --> 00:25:56,589
I mean, how long have you
been a policeman?
468
00:25:56,614 --> 00:25:58,331
Nearly 23 years.
469
00:25:59,943 --> 00:26:03,183
How many books have you written
about people like Nilsen?
470
00:26:03,208 --> 00:26:05,714
Well, this is my first.
471
00:26:06,441 --> 00:26:09,542
Then, let me give you some advice.
472
00:26:11,127 --> 00:26:12,628
Walk away.
473
00:26:12,653 --> 00:26:15,737
Well, with all due respect, Mr Jay,
474
00:26:15,762 --> 00:26:18,870
I'm... I didn't approach this naively.
475
00:26:18,895 --> 00:26:20,519
Well, why approach it at all?
476
00:26:21,148 --> 00:26:24,675
I mean, you think you can
understand these things he did?
477
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:28,988
I'm not sure that
understanding is useful here.
478
00:26:29,013 --> 00:26:31,753
The term is emotional
and more often than not,
479
00:26:31,778 --> 00:26:33,035
it leads us to answers
480
00:26:33,060 --> 00:26:35,779
that are indicative
of our own prejudices.
481
00:26:35,842 --> 00:26:39,949
It's not about understanding,
it's about comprehending.
482
00:26:39,974 --> 00:26:41,613
Isn't that the same thing?
483
00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:47,261
Humans kill. It's in our nature.
484
00:26:47,489 --> 00:26:51,058
Out of fits of rage or jealousy,
or self-defence.
485
00:26:51,083 --> 00:26:56,535
But to kill so many men
without any real reason...
486
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,097
I think it's important that we try
487
00:26:59,122 --> 00:27:02,324
to comprehend why this happened,
488
00:27:02,349 --> 00:27:05,636
and how this person came to pass.
489
00:27:06,852 --> 00:27:08,251
I need you to tell us
490
00:27:08,276 --> 00:27:11,378
everything that Nilsen's told you
about the identities of his victims.
491
00:27:11,650 --> 00:27:15,808
Well, I don't have any more
information than you already have.
492
00:27:15,833 --> 00:27:17,628
Well, you've been talking for months.
493
00:27:18,413 --> 00:27:20,589
We talk about other things.
494
00:27:20,614 --> 00:27:23,035
- Such as?
- His childhood.
495
00:27:23,060 --> 00:27:24,740
His time in the army.
496
00:27:24,765 --> 00:27:27,355
- Was he killing in the army?
- No.
497
00:27:27,946 --> 00:27:30,191
How often have you been visiting him?
498
00:27:30,216 --> 00:27:31,896
Once or twice a week.
499
00:27:31,921 --> 00:27:34,183
- When's the last time you saw him?
- Four days ago.
500
00:27:34,450 --> 00:27:36,636
And, he wrote to you?
501
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:38,343
No, I wrote to him.
502
00:27:40,180 --> 00:27:43,340
I'm not really sure why we're here.
503
00:27:46,512 --> 00:27:49,488
Nilsen is no longer helping
us with our investigation.
504
00:27:51,047 --> 00:27:52,583
Since when?
505
00:27:52,608 --> 00:27:54,341
What, he didn't tell you?
506
00:27:56,296 --> 00:27:58,411
Has he even mentioned Kenneth Ockenden?
507
00:27:58,436 --> 00:28:01,091
- Did he kill Kenneth Ockenden?
- I didn't say that.
508
00:28:04,908 --> 00:28:08,380
If he mentions any names,
you have a duty to report them to us.
509
00:28:09,742 --> 00:28:11,599
Oh, it's not as simple as that.
510
00:28:11,624 --> 00:28:14,304
Perverting the course of
justice is very simple.
511
00:28:17,511 --> 00:28:18,614
If you are suggesting
512
00:28:18,639 --> 00:28:21,614
that I had anything to do with
his retracting his cooperation,
513
00:28:21,639 --> 00:28:24,079
then you are gravely mistaken, Mr Jay.
514
00:28:27,176 --> 00:28:29,950
And if you wish to take this
conversation any further,
515
00:28:29,975 --> 00:28:33,450
then maybe I should
telephone my solicitor.
516
00:28:37,091 --> 00:28:39,216
If you wanted to write
a book about Nilsen,
517
00:28:39,241 --> 00:28:40,943
you should have come to us first.
518
00:28:41,474 --> 00:28:43,489
We'd have given you the real story.
519
00:28:44,081 --> 00:28:47,361
But you're all so fucking
fascinated by him, aren't you?
520
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,800
- Afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
521
00:29:12,567 --> 00:29:14,919
Ever since I've come
to this hell on earth,
522
00:29:14,944 --> 00:29:18,305
I have been disrespected,
abused, humiliated.
523
00:29:18,330 --> 00:29:21,060
I have done nothing but
help an investigation,
524
00:29:21,085 --> 00:29:23,302
for which I have not yet been convicted.
525
00:29:23,327 --> 00:29:25,450
Nobody cares about
my years of public service,
526
00:29:25,475 --> 00:29:27,747
my work with the unions,
that goes unnoticed.
527
00:29:27,772 --> 00:29:29,931
Why didn't you mention Kenneth Ockenden?
528
00:29:30,304 --> 00:29:32,349
You've spoken to Mr Jay, I see.
529
00:29:32,374 --> 00:29:34,054
Yes. He contacted me.
530
00:29:36,267 --> 00:29:38,148
Yeah.
531
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,622
I didn't mention Ken cos
he's the one I regret.
532
00:29:44,006 --> 00:29:46,153
The day we spent together was so happy.
533
00:29:46,178 --> 00:29:47,982
The happiest I'd been all year.
534
00:29:48,007 --> 00:29:51,385
Unlike the others, his death
was a kind of... cruel and
535
00:29:51,410 --> 00:29:54,107
horrid parody of what could've been.
536
00:29:55,811 --> 00:29:58,854
Well, do you not feel
any guilt or remorse?
537
00:29:58,879 --> 00:29:59,879
Why?
538
00:30:00,994 --> 00:30:04,259
They live with me in my cell, Brian.
539
00:30:05,343 --> 00:30:06,623
All of them.
540
00:30:06,648 --> 00:30:09,689
How can I feel remorse when I have
taken those pains into myself?
541
00:30:09,714 --> 00:30:11,353
That's obscene.
542
00:30:11,884 --> 00:30:14,181
Look, I'd give anything
for any one of them
543
00:30:14,206 --> 00:30:16,579
to walk in here right
now and shoot me dead.
544
00:30:16,604 --> 00:30:19,332
But the sad fact is they had to die
545
00:30:19,357 --> 00:30:21,152
to get attention for their plights.
546
00:30:21,177 --> 00:30:24,285
Because the public pious
aftercare comes too late.
547
00:30:24,310 --> 00:30:26,996
And when this is all over,
the Des Nilsens,
548
00:30:27,111 --> 00:30:30,043
and the Stephen Sinclairs and
the Martyn Duffeys of this world
549
00:30:30,068 --> 00:30:33,629
will still stagger along,
unnoticed and alone,
550
00:30:33,654 --> 00:30:38,199
because society is more interested
in death than it is in life.
551
00:30:38,224 --> 00:30:40,340
These people that you mention...
552
00:30:40,933 --> 00:30:43,340
they weren't Kenneth Ockenden.
553
00:30:43,365 --> 00:30:44,449
You say so yourself.
554
00:30:44,474 --> 00:30:48,269
So what was it that made
you kill Kenneth Ockenden?
555
00:30:48,835 --> 00:30:50,235
He was...
556
00:30:52,380 --> 00:30:54,254
They were all my type.
557
00:30:54,978 --> 00:30:56,629
Simple as that?
558
00:30:58,891 --> 00:31:01,433
I once strangled and
drowned a young man.
559
00:31:01,458 --> 00:31:03,691
And then, when he was lying on the bed,
560
00:31:03,716 --> 00:31:06,894
I noticed Bleep licking his face.
561
00:31:06,919 --> 00:31:08,439
He was still alive.
562
00:31:09,477 --> 00:31:11,230
So I resuscitated him.
563
00:31:11,327 --> 00:31:13,308
And he was very
confused when he came to,
564
00:31:13,333 --> 00:31:14,957
he didn't know what had happened.
565
00:31:15,515 --> 00:31:17,840
And he was there for days,
me taking care of him.
566
00:31:17,865 --> 00:31:20,136
And then, when he was
well enough to leave,
567
00:31:20,161 --> 00:31:24,105
I took him up to Highgate Station
and we arranged to meet again,
568
00:31:24,130 --> 00:31:25,370
the week after.
569
00:31:25,410 --> 00:31:28,472
Well, the week after came and went,
and he never came back.
570
00:31:29,584 --> 00:31:31,722
Perhaps he should've stayed in my flat.
571
00:31:34,579 --> 00:31:38,715
The thought of them leaving
triggered the impulse?
572
00:31:38,740 --> 00:31:40,222
Everybody leaves.
573
00:31:40,247 --> 00:31:43,902
Friends, colleagues, boyfriends,
they all disappear eventually.
574
00:31:43,930 --> 00:31:47,379
My grandfather,
my great hero and protector,
575
00:31:47,404 --> 00:31:49,754
was the only person that I ever loved.
576
00:31:50,923 --> 00:31:54,441
Seeing my grandfather in that box...
577
00:31:55,938 --> 00:31:57,857
all my troubles started there.
578
00:31:58,055 --> 00:32:01,351
See, it blighted
my personality permanently.
579
00:32:01,376 --> 00:32:03,257
That's why I did all these things.
580
00:32:03,453 --> 00:32:05,679
That and the booze and the music.
581
00:32:06,187 --> 00:32:11,359
It whipped me up into a
sort of frenzied fantasy,
582
00:32:11,384 --> 00:32:13,384
that brought the devil and the darkness.
583
00:32:13,409 --> 00:32:15,242
But without that, I'm harmless.
584
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:18,359
No, Des, no. It is not your place
585
00:32:18,384 --> 00:32:23,023
to make objective reasons
why you did these things.
586
00:32:23,048 --> 00:32:25,568
Especially with this spurious logic.
587
00:32:26,051 --> 00:32:27,554
Whose place is it then? Is it yours?
588
00:32:27,579 --> 00:32:29,624
No, this book cannot be
589
00:32:29,649 --> 00:32:34,476
a subjective look at your life
and, and your, your actions.
590
00:32:34,508 --> 00:32:37,256
We both of us, we must remain objective.
591
00:32:37,635 --> 00:32:39,635
And if there are any
lessons to be learned,
592
00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:43,538
it is up to the reader
to decide, not us.
593
00:32:43,563 --> 00:32:47,367
All these ruminations and
hypotheses might be helpful to you,
594
00:32:47,392 --> 00:32:50,968
but... it can't be the end of the road.
595
00:32:51,807 --> 00:32:54,617
That's not what I'm here for.
596
00:32:58,418 --> 00:32:59,983
Brian, would you do me a kindness?
597
00:33:00,008 --> 00:33:01,587
I need to find out about my dog.
598
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:03,051
Could you do that for me?
599
00:33:07,963 --> 00:33:10,609
Yes, I'll see what I can do.
600
00:33:23,698 --> 00:33:26,445
Peter. Gotta come and see this.
601
00:33:34,361 --> 00:33:35,913
- Brian?
- Guv.
602
00:33:35,938 --> 00:33:39,320
We've got a partial print off
the A-Z which ain't Nilsen's.
603
00:33:39,591 --> 00:33:41,351
Looks like Ockenden's.
604
00:33:42,618 --> 00:33:44,138
You sure?
605
00:33:58,939 --> 00:34:01,219
Hell of a hunch, guv.
606
00:34:31,185 --> 00:34:33,359
Ah. Thank you.
607
00:34:33,384 --> 00:34:35,726
Peter, this is Commander Lockwood.
608
00:34:35,761 --> 00:34:38,429
- You know Russell.
- Good to meet you, sir.
609
00:34:39,087 --> 00:34:41,287
Peter, I'd like to congratulate you.
610
00:34:41,389 --> 00:34:44,546
Although we were all
understandably sceptical at first,
611
00:34:44,793 --> 00:34:48,132
Ockenden is a huge
weight off this force.
612
00:34:48,157 --> 00:34:49,484
Thank you, sir.
613
00:34:49,509 --> 00:34:51,585
It wasn't the easiest one
for us, but it...
614
00:34:51,610 --> 00:34:52,844
shows we're getting through it.
615
00:34:52,868 --> 00:34:55,492
Well, obviously these
things can't last forever.
616
00:34:55,517 --> 00:34:59,077
And upstairs feel that
confirming Ockenden
617
00:34:59,102 --> 00:35:02,210
is a natural place to wrap things up.
618
00:35:02,235 --> 00:35:04,474
Therefore, a decision has been made.
619
00:35:04,499 --> 00:35:07,585
We're going to charge
him with six murders
620
00:35:07,811 --> 00:35:09,530
and bring the investigation to a close.
621
00:35:09,570 --> 00:35:10,833
Sir...
622
00:35:11,717 --> 00:35:13,857
If I may, I think this is a mistake.
623
00:35:13,882 --> 00:35:17,341
We have leads which I'm sure
will bring us more names.
624
00:35:17,366 --> 00:35:19,724
A woman called Lesley
Mead has come forward.
625
00:35:19,749 --> 00:35:21,818
We suspect her ex-partner
might be a victim...
626
00:35:21,843 --> 00:35:23,029
Detective.
627
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:27,091
We have spent a fortune on
your team's overtime alone.
628
00:35:27,116 --> 00:35:29,513
Six murders. He never gets out.
629
00:35:29,538 --> 00:35:31,059
Charging him with six is a joke...
630
00:35:31,084 --> 00:35:32,084
- Peter.
- No, but guv...
631
00:35:32,109 --> 00:35:35,513
- The decision has been made.
- Please, sir, if I may.
632
00:35:35,538 --> 00:35:37,505
There are at least nine families
633
00:35:37,530 --> 00:35:39,240
who will never get
closure if we stop now.
634
00:35:39,265 --> 00:35:42,169
We just need more time and
we'll find all 15, I'm sure of it.
635
00:35:42,194 --> 00:35:45,193
But we're not even sure
he killed 15, are we?
636
00:35:45,366 --> 00:35:47,333
And now that he's stopped talking to us,
637
00:35:47,358 --> 00:35:49,038
perhaps we'll never know.
638
00:35:49,573 --> 00:35:53,293
No. It's time for you and
your team to move on, Peter.
639
00:35:55,274 --> 00:35:58,435
I'm sure your families will
be very happy to see you.
640
00:36:18,748 --> 00:36:20,310
Can I, erm...
641
00:36:20,335 --> 00:36:22,474
can I have everybody's attention?
642
00:36:25,070 --> 00:36:27,430
Scotland Yard have just given
the order to shut us down
643
00:36:27,455 --> 00:36:29,404
and to charge him
with the six we've got.
644
00:36:35,811 --> 00:36:38,251
I can't tell you how
proud I am of this team.
645
00:36:39,629 --> 00:36:42,589
And of the work that we've done
together over the past four months.
646
00:36:44,050 --> 00:36:45,811
The six we found...
647
00:36:47,545 --> 00:36:48,870
Well, that's the kind of police work
648
00:36:48,894 --> 00:36:51,026
you can't just do from behind a desk.
649
00:36:52,804 --> 00:36:54,815
You're a credit to yourselves...

00:36:55,628 --> 00:36:57,151

653
00:37:27,215 --> 00:37:29,963
was arrested and charged after
human remains were discovered
654

at two properties in North London.
655
00:37:32,777 --> 00:37:34,338

and two attempted murders.

to appear in court later this week,

plead guilty on all charges.

Of the remains found in Cranley Gardens,

00:38:21,010 --> 00:38:22,890
one of the jaw bones had scars
669

of the jaw due to a fracture.
