02:40Did you know these people
02:44Could you tell me their names
02:47It was you found them
02:51But you don't know
02:55I can't speak to you. I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to we don't speak to moderns
03:04Excuse me
03:05Stewart, could you look after this lady, please?
03:09What have we got two dead males in the house and the woman who found them is refusing to speak
03:24So the same passage has been marked in both Bibles
03:29Hold I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
03:37Mystery exactly
03:42Do you make of this Robbie
03:45Judging by the amount of blood looks like several than artery. I
03:50Mean it could be suicide
03:55You
04:00Victims are Edward Muir and his son Luke
04:02What's the one done quiet kept themselves to themselves seemed like nice folk can't believe this happened in our street pretty much
04:09They were apparently members of the triune family of God as was the woman that found them
04:14Bible bashers, that's all bloody neat
04:16They don't mix with people beyond their church because they believe the world is a wicked place. It is son
04:21So, where's this woman who found them in the car
04:26Is that a bodyguard
04:29If you're looking for my wife I sent her home. Oh you have have you I can speak on her behalf
04:34It's not you. I want to talk to make sure this gentleman and his wife are at the station in 20 minutes
04:41Behold I show you a mystery
04:43We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed any idea why this passage
04:49No, yeah, but it's Corinthians 1551 apparently
04:54I'll never understand how a father can kill a child
04:57never
04:59family that prays together slays together
05:03Gala's humor a coping mechanism
05:05That's Anne Hardy and her husband in the interview room before we talk to them
05:09What's the story of this group they belong to the triune family of God or an evangelical church?
05:15They believe in a triune God God is three people the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit
05:20They don't watch TV or listen to the radio. They won't vote or read newspapers
05:24They don't use computers mobile phones or cameras and they don't allow their kids to go to university
05:29Facial hair is not allowed. Well and the men are the women
05:32They tend to live close to each other because they don't own cars. They rarely speak to people outside the church
05:37They don't touch tea coffee or alcohol
05:40They sound like a right bar laughs right Robin I'll talk to the heart is you to find out what you can about the Muir family
05:50Ds read
05:54Sure, I'll be down in a minute
05:57I
06:03Lean it's so nice to see you. I'm afraid it's not a social call Jack
06:09It's Karen. She didn't come home last night
06:12Mrs. Harvey, why did you leave the scene of crime before DC?
06:16I bark had a chance to speak to you. My wife was simply obeying the rules of our church
06:21We do not associate with moderns who are
06:25Anyone outside our church
06:29And what is your position within the church, mr. Hardy, I'm an elder a
06:34trustee of the elected one
06:36Who is the head of our church?
06:39lives in America
06:41We're worldwide
06:43so as parcel force
06:45If that's the case, can you give your wife permission to talk to us? No, I can't
06:51But I have the authority to speak for any member of our church
06:54We need to know if she saw anything at the house this morning could help with our investigation
06:59Mrs. Hardy must speak for herself. I'm afraid it's not quite as simple as that. Mr. Burke detective chief inspector buck
07:06I've been phoning our mobile, but it just goes to answer the machine. I
07:11Reported are missing at my local station, but they said if she's an adult they can't do anything for 24 hours
07:18Said she was low risk
07:21So
07:23What age is she now? I mean she must be 18 just
07:30Did they allocate you an investigating officer? Yes, they said they'd put her into the system. When did you last see it?
07:37It's about eight o'clock last night
07:39She went out to a pub in the Merchant City
07:42It's got some DJ on there on a Friday. She likes
07:47But I know it's not your department
07:51When she's vulnerable Jackie, she's not streetwise at all
07:59It's okay, I mean, did you have a current photograph? Yes
08:05Brought a few with me. Oh
08:12That Harley I've recognized her
08:15Time flies doesn't it? What was the pub?
08:19the Cali arms the Caledonian arms
08:23Could you call me?
08:24As soon as you hear anything, I promise
08:28No
08:29Off you go
08:32She's probably at home waiting for you now. Thanks Jackie
08:35My
08:39Wife had gone to see Edward. She had been a great comfort to him since his wife died, but
08:46She didn't see anything suspicious. Is that right?
08:53And did Edward Muir have business problems no
08:58If he had we would have known
09:01Her group is very close
09:03How did he caught with his wife's death?
09:06Was devastated
09:08But with God's help he had moved on
09:11So you've no idea why he might have done this terrible thing if he did
09:17if
09:19My friend had hard to believe that Edward would sin against God or plunge a kitchen knife and his son for that matter
09:27The passage from
09:29Corinthians
09:30Behold I show you a mystery
09:33We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment
09:38The twinkling of an eye at the last trump, but the trumpet shall sound
09:44The dead shall be raised incorruptible
09:48And we shall be changed
09:51What relevance do you think this passage could have to the mortars?
09:54The mystery been spoken of as a truth that had not previously been revealed in the Old Testament, but was revealed in the new
10:02the Rapture
10:04at the end of days
10:07Not all of us will die
10:10See
10:12And it
10:14Edward Muir believe that
10:16It's in the Bible
10:18Plain and simple just answer the question
10:21Did he believe it?
10:24He did
10:27I
10:29See how when you were looking at the trial family you come across anything about the Rapture
10:33Yeah, apparently Jesus will return to earth and all true Christians will be transported to the heavens to meet the Lord
10:39What about the rest of us that was Swanee without a paddle? Yeah, I guess so
10:44Yeah, that's what I thought. So if you believe that why would you risk your eternal salvation?
10:49No
10:51Edward Muir didn't kill himself
10:56I
11:06Speak to someone who was working last night
11:15Karen oh, you know, she comes in on a Friday regular
11:20She likes a DJ. Is that right? Yeah, please a lot of chancy techno
11:25Yeah
11:27Was she with you
11:29Is she okay?
11:32Yeah, as far as I know I just like to find out if she left with anyone in particular
11:36She was talking to one of two guys as I remember. She's had a few she was drunk
11:42Just a bit
11:45Did you recognize any of these guys that she was talking to no, not really
11:48She
11:50Looked like she was having a good time
11:52She's taking a lot of pictures on her mobile. I remember that and she left with someone
11:57Oh, I really don't know. It was stout. I mean she could have left one of the boys. Okay
12:03Could you give me a call if you see Karen again or any of the guys that she was with sure
12:10Thank
12:19Jackie
12:21Where have you been? I've got a murder inquiry here the mirrors. Remember them
12:26I've been checking a missing persons case. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you've been transferred all hands on deck
12:31I want this tied up as soon as possible
12:38They're here you get a tongue-lashing
12:40He did indeed. You know, he's like things again the press
12:44He's the attention
12:46Listen Robbie, can you do me a favor? I need you to cover for me
12:50I'm trying to find the daughter of an old school friend. Her name's caramel Ray. Her mother's worried about her
12:56She's been missing since last night. Hi. Sure. No problem
12:59There are traces of blood and skin under Luke's fingernails. There are no scratches in Edward
13:06So the boys struggle with someone but not his father
13:08I
13:10Was someone else in that room wasn't it possibly I need more time before I give you my full report in the meantime
13:17I'll assume we're looking at a double murder if that's all right with you. Well, let's just say I'm 99% sure
13:31Where's Jackie now, uh, she's away checking near his bank accounts. They have bank accounts
13:38Alright listen up folks
13:40We need to interview every member of this cult pronto
14:08Mr. Hardy
14:16We'd work with your congregation if you don't mind
14:22I'm sorry, but you're not allowed in here
14:24We need to organize a time and a place to speak to them individually. I'll only take a moment. That's impossible
14:30Told you before that we do not associate with people outside our church. Mr. Hardy. This is a criminal inquiry. I know that
14:38You can't force us to cooperate
14:40Not at the moment, but we will you seem to know a lot about police procedure for someone who doesn't
14:47Associate to the outside world. I make it my business to know what I need to know
14:51to protect my people
14:53Don't you understand?
14:55We don't recognize your law
14:57Troublesome it recognizes you
15:01Don't speak to them again
15:04Two members of your congregation have died in suspicious circumstances
15:09Don't you want to know why? You cannot enter our meeting hall
15:14If you don't mind
15:17What is it you've got to hide exactly mr. Hardin?
15:20We have nothing to hide
15:23nothing to parade
15:25We live by the Word of God
15:28And he believes that the secular world is corrupt
15:31And has asked us to shun it
15:34Excuse me
15:38That is gonna go down a bucket of cold sink I
15:43Can't believe I'm here in this who do these people think they are?
15:46Yeah, I know
15:47I'm not too happy with their attitude either boss
15:49But can't force them to help us then we have to get past him to the other members of the church
15:53Find out what's going on with these people. So with religious matters. You should tread carefully show some respect for people's beliefs
15:59They haven't shown much respect to us have they it's give and take in this world Stuart this guy James Hardy thinks is above the law
16:06I don't like that. Yes, sir. I want to talk to somebody else in that church apart for him. Okay?
16:29I
16:46Chalk you've just saved I think he was one of Karen's friends. No, no, I don't think so
16:59I
17:25Said who is this?
17:30I
17:37Seven eight two, three six
17:53Not called on us
17:59I
18:16Robbie I might have lost my marbles. I think I've just found a grave
18:29I
18:34To the just all things are just that's what he said the caller who gave me the coordinates
18:41That's I'm biblical to you. You think this is linked to the trident family. Let's find out
18:48Any ID
18:54Student card
18:57Karen Mulray
19:00All right, you know, yeah, I'm not sure
19:09Jackie hi. Can you talk?
19:12Yeah, what's up? You know that girl? You mentioned your friend's daughter
19:17Was her name Karen Mulray? Yeah
19:21Why what's happened
19:24Listen I'm really sorry to have to tell you this but we've just found a body
19:30I'll
19:32I'll explain a situation to the boss
19:35Okay
19:39If you don't mind I'd like to tell her mother myself sure sure if that's what you want, yeah
19:47Listen I know it's not a good time. But um, is there anything you can tell us?
19:53She was she left a Kelly a the Cali arms with a young guy. Okay, that's as far as I got
20:01Oh and and there's one other thing Robbie
20:04She was taking photographs on a mobile phone
20:08Yeah, that could be useful right nice Jackie
20:22You
20:52You
21:06Come to tell me my wee girl's dead
21:12We found her this morning
21:15She's gone
21:23Oh
21:35Where's Billy Eileen, I think he's working
21:42Not sure
21:45We separated last year
21:52I didn't know
21:55Do you want me to speak to him I should do that. I don't mind
22:01He met someone at work
22:04The usual story you could write it yourself
22:09Karen had become a bit withdrawn recently. I'm sure that's why
22:23What happened
22:28I I don't know the details
22:33What did I see
22:36Didn't have half the streets much she thought she did
22:40Now we were the same the nonsense we got up to the drinking and the rest
22:49No
22:53Who would do this to my weak girl Jackie the quote alludes to those who believe in predestination such as the triune family
22:59They see themselves as the just
23:02Justified chosen what they're going to heaven anyway, so they can do whatever they want in this life
23:07Not quite they still have to obey the word of the Lord
23:10So whoever called me either knows who the killer is or is the killer playing at funny buggers
23:15Either way the point in the finger directly at this triune family
23:18Karen's phone I mean according to Jackie she was taking photographs with her before she disappeared
23:23And did she have it on her when she was found no we need to make finding that phone our number one priority
23:47I
24:18I
24:22That's that camera shy, that's the only photo of any member of the trial family
24:26We could find this is James hardly taken 20 years ago when they bought their meeting call
24:30The local paper ran the story on Jackie's found a direct link between caramel ray and the triune family
24:35Yeah, she'd been gathering information on that a mother of any idea. Why she was so interested in them
24:41No, but it sounds to me like she'd been at a bit of a loss after her father left
24:45I mean, maybe she was looking for a new direction in life, but you try to speak to them. It's possible I
24:50Don't think so
24:52She seemed particularly interested in James Hardy sure take a look at a computer. See if you can find anything Jackie might have missed
24:59James Hardy's controlling the other members of the so-called church. You won't let him speak. He knows more than he's letting on
25:07Robbie let's put the pressure on
25:15I
25:38Got to come out at some point
25:40Well, I'm not gonna stand out here on I freeze my ass off climb the fence and open the gate
25:45Hey
25:46This is my best suit Paul Smith
25:49What's the problem? You still paying it up? What you want me to climb it? No
26:01I'm not even gonna ask
26:16Why are you in here?
26:18We'd like to speak to your father
26:21We've no desire to speak to you or any other moderns half it enough of this bollocks. Where's your old man? Excuse me?
26:28But I must ask you to leave this is private property and you're breaking and entering really
26:33Well, you can fill in a complaint form while you're down at the station. Let's go
26:36How
26:42Long do you intend to keep me? Yeah, did you know caramel right?
26:47No, anybody in your cults no caramel right we are not a cult did anyone know Karen Murray I'm aware of
26:56You're hiding something. I haven't begun to piece this little puzzle together yet, but I will
27:03Trust me I will
27:13We clutching at straws here boss, I mean, we've got no witnesses no physical evidence
27:18No motivation no reason for him to have killed the Muir family or the more a girl
27:23I mean, is it possible that you just have a problem with these people with their beliefs?
27:26I don't care what they believe I do care. They think they're above the law
27:30Sir I think I found Colin's phone
27:40Christ that's the dead boy Luke Muir
27:43That's the Cali arms
27:46She was with him the night. She died
27:48That's it. That's the last one
27:51I
27:58Tell me about Luke Muir
28:03What is it to tell
28:05Nice boy good worker
28:07We were very proud of him
28:08How did you feel about his death?
28:11Or his father's for that matter
28:13You haven't really said
28:16No, we keep our feelings within the church
28:18Presumably you were upset
28:21So we're all upset, of course
28:23He was with caramel ray the night. She died
28:26Don't you find that strange? What do you mean?
28:32He was in a pub with her drinking
28:37Well, no he
28:39Should not have been in a place of entertainment. That's true
28:42It was possible. They knew each other
28:45Had a relationship. No
28:47No
28:48No, I don't think that's possible, but you're not sure just how well do you know your flock?
28:55As I said before
28:57We do not associate with anyone outside our church. We do not even eat with moderns
29:03and if he had I would have known and
29:07He would have been shunned
29:09Shunned excluded to cast out we would withdraw from him
29:14He would not be allowed to mix with any member of the church until
29:18We had decided he had been punished enough. How long would that last?
29:22As long as we say and if he wanted to leave the church he could leave
29:28But I would never see his family again
29:31So of this kid Luke Muir has been sheltered all his life
29:35Meets a girl outside the cult wants to leave the cult but his old man realizing he'll never see him again
29:41Kills the girl then kills herself and the boy. Aye when the guilt kicks in so who called me who's deep throat?
29:49Now there's something no right about the Hardys. We need to talk to the wife this time, but that our husband being present
29:58Yes, yes wait
30:00I
30:09Thought I didn't associate with people outside the church obviously doesn't apply to taxi drivers
30:17See where she's going
30:21Did she ever mention a boy called Luke
30:25Luke Muir
30:27Is that who took her?
30:31I'm not sure
30:33But I need to know how well she knew
30:37She mentioned him
30:39Said his father was a member of a strict religious group
30:44So he couldn't come over to the house or watch television
30:48Play computer games stuff like that. I
30:51Think she felt sorry for him
30:55Did she meet other members of the group don't know
30:59She
31:02Didn't see that Luke was worried about someone in the group who didn't like the fact that they were free
31:08She mentioned a name
31:14It's ironic I thought they sounded overprotective of their children
31:22But I didn't protect my enough did no no no
31:27This is not your fault Eileen you must never ever think
31:48Is this that
31:56Give them a minute to get a room. Oh, maybe just go for a drink in the chat sure
32:11You're late for Bible class sorry we need a what let them in Brian
32:18Now that you weren't allowed to speak to people outside your faith, so who's this young gentleman I take it
32:24He's not one of the triune family, that's right. I'm not so who is he your lover. He's my brother
32:36I was trying family once
32:38Not anymore
32:40And wants to leave and I'm trying to help her cross back into the secular world
32:44She's not been happy for a long time
32:47Since I left she's afraid she'll never see her boys again
32:52We could you not take your boys with you James would never accept that
32:56This is hardly
32:59Is there anything you can tell me to help me get to the bottom of these killings?
33:02And what way were you a comfort to Edward Muir after his wife died?
33:06Now I'm not going anywhere to look at the truth
33:16Edward Muir and I had an affair
33:21It didn't last long we both knew it was wrong, so it stopped when a
33:29Few weeks before he was killed and who ended it you or him I did did your husband know about this I
33:38Don't believe you did no, so why are you visiting Edward Muir on the day? He was found dead I
33:46Wanted to warn him that his son Luke and my son Paul had been seeing a modern
33:51Saw them with her. I
33:53Didn't want my husband to know I didn't want them shunned and what about August was he saying moderns to?
34:02August no
34:04He'd never do that
34:06He abhors the modern world. We need to speak to Paul in August. No James is at the meeting hall. I
34:13Think the boys are at home. We'll give you a lift. No
34:17Thank you
34:21I'm not sure. I'm going back. I
34:26Need some time to think
34:37I didn't know the girl your mother says different
34:41Says you and Luke Muir were both senior. Were you jealous Paul?
34:47Were you jealous of Luke and Karen I
34:50Wasn't seeing the girl I was trying to stop Luke from seeing her I
34:55Wanted to help him back to the way of the Lord. What were you doing in the Caledonian arms?
35:00Well, you were in the Cali arms
35:02Was that not against the rules of your cult? I?
35:06Saw you Paul dinner you were having a drink weren't you I
35:13Was looking for Karen I
35:15Had to tell her what had happened to Luke
35:18Why there I knew they went there I
35:23Didn't know what I was doing. I was upset
35:26If you know anything you must tell us someone else could get killed. I
35:33Don't think you realize how much
35:37So
35:41What do you think when you discovered your brother was seeing a modern what Paul and Luke
35:47They were both seeing a girl called Karen more a
35:51You didn't know that
35:54Paul wouldn't do that. Apparently he would
35:57Did your father know if he did they would have been shunned?
36:01shunned
36:02Yeah
36:03Very grown-up way of dealing with things
36:06We have to live the way God tells us or we'll be left behind at the end of days with the fornicators and the adulterers
36:13Paul knows this
36:15He'd never risk his everlasting soul never
36:25Dare you speak to my sons without my permission
36:28Mr. Hardy, they're just helping us with our inquiries. Maybe you could take a leaf out that book. God is our judge
36:35Not you, mr. Hardy
36:39Did you know your wife was having an affair with Edward Muir?
36:41No, I only asked because it does give you motive to kill Edward Muir and his son. There's certainly one way of shunning them
36:55I'm taking my boys home where they belong
37:00If
37:10You don't mind me saying so that was incredibly irresponsible I do mind
37:14You could be putting on Hardy at risk. You've got no idea how her husband might react to that news
37:19Jackie's got a point boss killing three people isn't exactly playing by the rules either. Is it I need results
37:25I don't care what it takes now. I know one of them's a killer and they're hiding behind the religion
37:30That kind of hypocrisy makes my stomach jump
37:49Is it true
37:53It's what you and Edward you were sharing his bed
38:00Oh
38:02Yes, it's true
38:05How could you do that to me
38:07to us
38:10You will be shunned
38:13Do you realize that? You will be shunned
38:17You will never never
38:20See any of us again
38:24Leave her
38:30I
38:32I
38:53Jackie I found something on Karen's computer. Yeah look
38:59Paul Hardy with Karen
39:01Seems he didn't know it after all we should bring him in
39:05She doesn't have to leave
39:08We can forgive her and nobody needs to know anything but God will know
39:12We need to be a family
39:15What's the point of this if we can't be a family the church is our family?
39:21We can't just let our mother disappear from our lives August it's too late for that
39:26She won't be taken by God now. We'll lose her at the rapture. Don't you should pray we don't lose you as well
39:32I
39:54You lied to us Paul
39:57I
39:59You and Karen were seeing each other
40:03Was she playing you off against each other you and Luke
40:09She was making fun of us
40:13I'm sure she didn't mean any harm
40:17That's what girls do sometimes
40:19Using us is that why you killed her? I didn't I loved her
40:25She said she didn't know who she loved me or Luke she was confused
40:31But I would never have hurt her. That's not the way it will seem
40:36You've got a motive
40:38Jealousy and you lie to us
40:41I'll put a bet on it. You'll be convicted, but I'm telling the truth you killed Karen and then Luke
40:48But his father came home and caught you so you had to kill him too. Isn't that right Paul?
40:52Isn't that what happened? No, no, it looks that way to me who else would have done it
41:13Is it possible your father could have found out
41:16But he wanted to protect you
41:19But he could have done this to come
41:21No
41:22My father would never harm anyone not even Edward Muir
41:27He didn't know about my mother and mr. Muir until you told him
41:35We didn't tell him we didn't have the heart we
41:42Your brother knew about your mother's affair
41:45We both did
41:48Luke told us he'd seen them together
41:52August spoke about fornicators and adulterers
42:01Hello August
42:08August what are you doing?
42:12Fallen is Babylon
42:15Please a dwelling for demons August. I'm your mother a haunt for every unclean spirits
42:27I saw heaven wide open
42:30And a white horse appears his rider's name was faithful
42:38To his mouth came a sharpsword to smite the waiting
42:45They must be punished
42:50Unclean God will punish them
42:54Come the end of days. They will be left behind or the Lord shall gather his elect. Now. Give me the knife
43:07Wants me to destroy them
43:10Fornicators. No, he doesn't give me the knife
43:14It's in the scriptures
43:16You killed them
43:19Didn't you?
43:21You killed Edward and look and the girl
43:27They betrayed God
43:33Just listen to me
43:36Only God can decide
43:38Who will travel with them and who will die?
43:41It is his will and his will only now
43:45Please give me the knife
43:47To the just all things are just
44:15I
44:19Was you who made that call wasn't it?
44:22To the just all things are just I don't understand
44:27What did you want to bring attention to yourself?
44:30Not to me
44:32to them
44:33to their crimes
44:35I've nothing to be ashamed of
44:37I
44:43It's not what I told them it's not no, I knew that
45:02We have to
45:05To see Eileen
45:07Try and help her understand why this happened
45:37You
