- Georgie? - Yes, sir?
- Where's the food? - I put it there earlier.
I don't know where it all goes.
Georgie, be a sweetheart and get everyone something to eat.
Yes, Mr Salter.
Thank you.
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie! Oi, oi, oi!
Eddie! Oi! Eddie! Oi!
Eddie, Eddie, Eddie! Oi, oi, oi!
Hey! Less of them sausage rolls, son. Cheers, sir. Cheer!
All right, all right.
- Open the door! - The door is open!
- Good riddance to you! Good riddance! - Freak!
You must love that beer, you've been holding it all night.
I'll get you another.
Sir, a pint and a half of lager and a white wine, please.
What makes a great detective?
Guts. Legwork. Contacts.
I was thinking experience.
Yeah, well, obviously that comes from time.
What if you could have 200 years of experience?
What kind of detective would you be?
- One gagging for retirement. - No, no, really, listen.
What if we could use the past as a map
to guide us through difficult investigations?
For inspiration. Insight.
As a cautionary tale.
You expecting another copycat?I don't think so.
No, not copycats.
I mean knowing the history of crime and using it to our advantage.
Yeah, very clever. Thanks.
But you know how I feel about books.
I was thinking we could do with a researcher.
No.
No, no.
Yes, yes.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
No.
Four salmon, Rita.
There's a queue.
I'm a regular not a tourist.
- I don't care who you are, everyone waits. - Not me.
-Bitch. - Tosser.
Don't you have the confidence
to run an investigation without Buchan?
Of course I do. Don't be ridiculous.
But you could have anyone you wanted as a researcher.
You could have a sharp, young graduate,
someone pretty, brighten up your office.
Buchan has passion.
He loves crime history. And he'll work for tea and biscuits.
Don't go back there,
the bridesmaids are getting awfully grabby.
On your head be it.
Hello?
Hello. I've got your bagels that you asked me to get.
Hello! Come on, open the door.
Oh, this isn't funny. Open the door!
Oh, pick up, you arseholes.
Open the door!
Please, just open the door!
Get away from me.
What's all the noise about?
Anyway, this is the last dance for anyone still waiting to pull.
So, come on, grab someone and dance!
Go on, sir! Pick someone and dance!
Mr Salter?
Aiden?
Right, where's the fuse box?
It feels like it's raining in here.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
- You're still drunk from last night. - It still is last night.
You called before I got to bed.
Didn't leave with anyone, did you?
All those bridesmaids going begging.
Focus, please.
What's this one then? The return of Dr Crippen?
Dr Crippen only killed one woman, his wife,
and buried her dismembered body in the cellar.
Swot.
Right.
- So what have we got? - Four dead.
One in each room. Heads caved in.
It's a massacre.
The only multiple murders I've attended have been of families.
Mad dads.
Enmeshment...
where the murders are the extension of a desire for suicide.
But this is different.
No suicide to be seen here.
Locks and bolts on all the doors and windows,
a state-of-the-art alarm system.
No forced entry. The shop was secure.
- Whoever did this was invited in. - Yes.
Right, everyone.
Attention, please.
Thank you.
The murders took place here, at Ben Salter's.
Ben Salter,
Stuart Middleton,
Aiden Harris and Archie Pugh.
These are the four victims.
Doors and windows were locked. No forced entry.
It was not a raid or robbery.
The killer was invited in. He was known to them.
Ben Salter managed to build a successful business
in a highly competitive market.
You don't do that without making a few enemies.
We also need to look at every family members and friends
- who might bear a grudge. - Big grudge.
This is a huge undertaking.
There's a lot of information to process.
Be accurate. Vigi...
- Be vigilant. - Hello!
Kent, I want you to take the lead on all the family and friends.
Yes, sir.
Well, I've made it.
Don't let it go to your head. You're still a civilian.
Of course.
Show me where my desk is and I'll make a start.
Absolutely. Follow me.
Mansell. You too.
- Yes, sir. - Just give me a hand, could you?
That's it.
I want you to research home invasions, mass murders,
anything that might help inform our investigation.
You're in here.
Oh. I thought we'd be sharing an office.
