- [Man] So far the
police haven't been able

to trace any next of kin.

Not a pretty site is he?

- The prosecution are
alleging that he d*ed

as a result of head
injuries sustained in a fight

with your client.

This is a scan of his head
taken shortly before he d*ed.

Some atrophy, tis hardly
surprising given his lifestyle,

but they're only small
subdural bleeds that are chronic,

not acute.

[avalanche rumbling]

There's no evidence
of a skull fracture,

nor of an acute
extradural hematoma.

- Which translated means?

[siren wailing]

- Go!

[patrol speaking in Norwegian]

- The injuries are not consistent
with a fatal head wound.

It's possible they
had nothing to do

with your client at all.

- Which is exactly what
he said in his statement.

[dog panting]

[dog barking]

[patrol speaking in Norwegian]

[patrol speaking in Norwegian]

- Either way I think
we should be looking at

something else as a
possible cause of death.

Have the toxicology
reports come through yet?

- The prosecution
have been so slow.

- Well let me know when they do.

- Mavis!

[dog barking]

Mavis come here.

[speaking in Norwegian]

[unsettling music]

["Silencium" - John Harle]

[children chattering]

- Mary there's someone
outside to see you.

- Mrs. Townsend?

- [Man] John.

- Reverend.

Mrs. Townsend,

is there somewhere private?

The body of a young
woman has been found.

The Norwegian police
have been unable to make

a formal identification
as yet but,

I thought...

- Ruth.

- Well as I said they
don't know for certain

but I wanted to let
you know just in case.

- Do they know,

have they said what happened?

- [John] No.

- Where did they find her?

- In the snow on the
side of a mountain,

there was an avalanche.

- She was k*lled
by an avalanche?

- They're not sure how she d*ed.

She was found under he
snow whilst the rescue team

were looking for a
couple of snowboarders

who'd gone missing.

You see she, um...

[phone ringing]

- Hello, Sam Ryan.

- [Peter] Sam, it's Peter.

- Did the reports
come through then?

- No they haven't.

This is another matter
entirely I'm afraid.

Have you got a minute?

- [Sam] Of course.

- We represent a
company, Torway Travel,

they specialize in all
year round skiing holidays.

- [Sam] Uh huh.

- [Peter] A young employee
of theirs went missing

a few weeks ago.

- Yeah.

Whereabouts?

- [Peter] In a place called Lom.

- Where's that?

- [Peter] Norway.

The company's owned
by a John Taylor.

It's extremely reputable,

very much at the exclusive
end of the holiday business.

Unusual resorts,
that sort of thing.

The missing girl Ruth
Townsend was 19.

It was her first season
working for them.

The avalanche has
apparently caused quite a bit

of physical damage to the body.

- [Sam] Right.

- [Peter] And she
was found naked.

John knows the parents

and he wants to
minimize their ordeal.

The father is worried about
his wife seeing Ruth's body,

so John would like
someone to go on their behalf

to assist with identification.

- [Sam] How long was the
body out on the mountain?

- [Peter] Long
enough to freeze solid.

- [Sam] Its gonna be pretty
mushy once it's thawed out.

- [Peter] Exactly.

- [Sam] Who's doin'
the post mortem?

- [Peter] A Dr. Jan Strom.

Do you know him?

- [Sam] Yeah, yes.

Okay, a few phone calls
and I'll be on my way.

- Sam.

- Jan.

- Good to see you.
- And you.

- How was your journey?

- Well it beats my
usual drive to work.

I've got something for you.

Here you go.

- Oh yes, I'll enjoy this.

Thank you.

- Seeing as you're the
one doing all the hard work.

[melancholy organ music]

- Ah yes, this is one of
yours, arrived yesterday.

Forget his name.

- Bloody fresh air.

I'm used to breathing
stuff you can see.

- This is Professor
Ryan, forensic pathologist.

She has come to
help identify the body

on behalf of the family.

- Hi.

- DCI Norton, Ian Norton.

- This your investigation?

- Ish, yeah, I'm with OCG.

New Scotland Yard.

We were contacted,
what, two months ago

when she first disappeared.

- Do you know what happened?

- No.

Rather hoping this'll
tell us something.

- Follow me please.

The crowns on the front
teeth have been sheared off.

Maybe she hit
something on the descent.

There are abrasions on the
body as you would expect.

But no bleeding from the wounds.

The right ankle looks broken.

See, it is at an
unnatural angle.

Again, there is no blood.

- These are all probably
post mortem injuries

caused by the avalanche.

- We'll save these.

[speaking in Norwegian]

- Everyone out here
says she was rather lovely.

Hard to believe now, isn't it?

Ruth was last seen in
one of the bars in the village

having a drink with a
middle aged bloke, mid 50s.

Apparently it all
ended rather abruptly

when she threw
her drink into his lap.

- Possible bruising on the neck.

Okay [speaking in Norwegian].

- According to her mate
she was a good girl,

towed the family line.

No sex before marriage.

Well her dad's a vicar.

[melancholy organ music]

- What's he got to
say for himself now?

- Mary— - Don't you dare

suggest to me that some
good will come of this.

- Terrible things happen
to people every day.

I'm not about to lose my faith

now that it's happened to us.

- This is Lensmann Hansen,

he's the SIO in charge
of the case out there.

Professor Sam Ryan.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Sorry I'm late.

But we've been trying to
search higher up on the slopes,

hoping to find clothes or,
well at least some indication

of where the body was buried.

- Buried?

- Yes well if the
body had just been

lying up on the mountains,
somebody would have seen it.

There hasn't been enough
snow recently to cover it you see.

- There's no indication
of sexual as*ault.

- Good, good.

But, are you sure
there was no boyfriend?

- Why?

- This girl was pregnant.

Probably expecting twins.

- Who's gonna break
that to the reverend?

- Someone gentle I hope.

- Can you tell us
how many weeks?

- 12 or 13.

- I see.

- So it probably
happened over here?

- How do you know?

- Well she came over from
England, what four months ago?

- [Lensmann] That's right.

- The fact that
she's been frozen,

is that gonna
make it more difficult

to say when she was k*lled?

- No, if she was found


she'd still look pretty
much the same.

- They hyoid is fractured.

- Any sign of a ligature?

- What does that mean?

- She's probably
strangled, manually.

- Oh no.

- Are you sure?

It couldn't have been
damaged by the avalanche?

- No.

- When are we expecting
the forensic dentist?

- I don't know.

- I brought the dental
records with me.

Here.
- Thank you.

- If they find her boyfriend,

does that mean that the
DNA of the fetus can tell us

whether or not he's the father?

- Almost certainly.

- Sam, look.

- What's wrong?

- These dental records don't
match the body we have here.

- This isn't Ruth.

- Our trace of a missing
person shouldn't be too bad,

but suspects, I hope
for Nils' sake it is local.

I mean visitors
to a place like this

must run into
thousands, if not more.

- What are you
gonna do about Ruth?

- Well we'll inform the parents.

There's not much else we
can do 'til we find the body.

Anyway, I think I'd
better go and pack.

- I haven't even unpacked.

- So there's time
for you to sample

some of our Norwegian delights.

- [Sam] Where shall we go?

- You'll see.

You can't go home
without trying one of these.

- Oh, thank you.

You're looking very well.

How's Greta?

- She’s fine.

- And little Finn?

- He's great.

Still happy not to sleep.

I don't suppose you could
stay on for a couple of days,

have a bit of a break.

Greta's skis would
probably fit you.

I could show you around.

- Sounds wonderful, but no,

some of us have got work to do.

- Shame.

- Anyway, good luck
with your mystery body.

- Ah yes, Nils is very excited.

Hard to tell, I know,

but there was another
disappearance many years ago.

Similar story,
another English girl.

The local legend has
it, now don't laugh,

but we're in the heart
of troll country here.

Many people said the
trolls have taken her.

- Maybe they did.

- [Man] I'm sorry it was
a complete waste of time.

- [Sam] Not at all.

It's always nice to
catch up with colleagues.

I just wish I coulda
stayed longer.

- Sam, this is John
Taylor from Tolray Travel.

John, this is Professor Ryan.

- Hi.
- Thank you

for all your help.

Ruth's parents
were very grateful.

- Still no news of her?

- No.

- Do the Norwegian
police have any idea

who the other girl is?

- They're checking
the local records first

before they widen the search.

Apparently another English girl

went missing at the
same resort 15 years ago.

- Really?
- Um hmm.

- Louise.

- Who?

- Louise Hutton.

She was the girl
that went missing.

- How do you know?

- I was there when
she disappeared.

We were part of the
same set, we grew up,

we even holidayed
there together.

Do they think it might be her?

- By now the police
would've confirmed it

one way or another.

- Have they said how?

- I'm afraid she was m*rder*d.

[unsettling music]

- [John] We always
hoped, you know,

maybe an accident
or perhaps one day

she'd just turn up.

But I think we always knew.

It must be terrible for
parents all these years,

the uncertainty.

If it is Louise, I expect
they'll want to see you.

You're the only person
who has seen their daughter

since 1985.

- Professor Ryan?

- That's right.

- I'm Stephen Merchant,
the Huttons' estate manager.

- Hello.

- Mrs. Hutton's inside if
you'd like to follow me.

- Thank you.

- This Louise business
is hitting very hard.

- I'm sure.

- She was the
most beautiful baby.

We've been back most years in
the hope of hearing something.

We were there only
a few weeks ago.

I'm sorry.

- Were you there when
Louise disappeared?

- Yes.

Tony loves Norway.

It's the skiing.

He discovered it when
he was in the army.

He and Louise
used to ski for hours.

They were inseparable.

The Norwegian police were happy

to keep appealing
for information,

but over the years,
well it's not exactly

the sort of publicity
a ski resort relishes.

Fathers and their daughters.

- Hmm.

[door clatters open]

- Tony, this is Professor Ryan.

My husband's about to fly out.

- Very kind of you to come.

- I'm sorry about
the circumstances.

- Well I was just, well I'm
probably boring her silly,

but I wanted her to see
how beautiful Louise was.

- Of course.

- I'm afraid the police
haven't told us very much.

Was she, had she
been hurt in any way?

- She had been
sexually assaulted, no.

- [Tony] They said
she'd been strangled.

- Yes.

- Well, maybe
they'll listen now.

- Oh darling, don't.

Tony!

- That man.

That man's son
k*lled my daughter.

That was taken, on
our last holiday with her,

two days before...
- Darling.

- Who is he?

- Losh Vickborg.

He was a ski guide in Lom.

- And the other man?

- [Tony] That's
my brother Henry.

- There was one thing...

I'm not sure whether
you were aware.

Before Louise d*ed, she
was a few months pregnant.

- What?

Did you know?

- [Sam] She may not
have been aware herself.

- Pregnant.

- Yes.

With twins.

[sobbing]

- I want you to give
this to the police.

- Major Hutton...
- Mats, the boy was called

Mats Vickborg.

He k*lled her.

Grew up in those mountains.

If anyone knew
where to hide her.

- Do the police know all this?

- Wouldn't surprise me
if he's done the same

to the other girl that's
just gone missing.

- Did you know her?

- No.

But as soon as I
saw it in the papers,

if you can get him for Louise,

he might tell you where
he's put the other girl.

God forbid her family
should have to go through

what we have.

- I'll pass it on.

- Stephen, is Henry back yet?

- Yes.

I saw his car outside
Brityard Cottage earlier.

- Thank you.

- [Man] Here you go Ben.

- Oh yes.

- [Man] Right let's
have a look at this.

[knocking at door]

- Yep.

- Hi.

- Oh hi.

- Henry?

Henry?

- Virginia.

Pleasant surprise.

Drink?

- Louise is dead.

- Not sure I follow.

- They found her.

- What?

When?

- Four days ago.

- Where?

- [Virginia] Lom.

- All this time.

God.

- God.

Is that all you can say?

She'd been strangled.

And she was...

- What?
- Nothing.

Tony's gone to bring her back.

The funeral should be
next week some time.

If you're not doing anything.

- Ginny.

I really am sorry.

- Louise.

- [Sam] Losh Vickborg.

He was her ski guide.

- And Losh's son?

- Mats.
- Is the person

the major thinks
k*lled his daughter?

Did he say why?

- No.

He just seemed very convinced.

Okay, I'll pass it on.

I expect I'll see you out there?

- No, my job's done.

Even when they bring her home,

I doubt the coroner'll
want a 2nd post mortem.

- Oh I'm sorry, I just
assumed you'd be going.

You haven't heard?

[eerie music]

[dog barking]

- They found Ruth.

- The first look suggests?

- Strangulation.

- Same as before?

No clothes.

- She was found near to
where they think the first body

must've lain before it was
dislodged by the avalanche.

They're similar,
but not identical

to the ones on the first body.

I haven't been able to find
anything under the fingernails.

My guess is they
both still had gloves on

when they were k*lled.

- So they were probably
both fully dressed?

- [Jan] More than likely.

- And then the
clothes were removed.

- Hence no scratches or marks.

- Any sign of as*ault?

- No.

And what's more,
her hymen's intact.

- They're both kinda
similar, aren't they?

The victims.

- One pregnant,
the other a virgin?

- Why does he take
their clothes off?

- Hiding evidence,
traces of skin, hair, semen,

who knows.

- Yeah but, would he've
known that, 15 years ago?

- Possibly.

We haven't found
anything, have we?

- Could I have a
moment with her?

Alone.

- Of course.

[solemn music]

[sobbing]

- Major?

- I'm gonna k*ll him.

- Major Hutton, wait!

- What's going on?

- Losh Vickborg.

- What about him?

- I think he's going
after Losh's son,

he thinks Mats k*lled Louise.

- If we're dealing
with the same k*ller,

and I think we are,

then it couldn't possibly
be Mats because he's dead.

He k*lled himself.

- And Major Hutton doesn't know?

- Well Losh blames the Major

just as much for
the death of his son.

As the Major blames the
w*r for k*lling his daughter.

- Vickborg?

Vickborg!

- Mats never got over Louise's
disappearance you know.

All the suspicion and the
Major's constant accusations,

I mean over the years,

got too much for him.

So when he k*lled himself
Losh didn't want the Major

to have the satisfaction
of him knowing it.

- Vickborg!

Come out here!

Where is he I
know he's in there.

- Major?

Mats is dead.

The boy's dead.

He d*ed four years ago.

Come on.

Here.

Drink that.

Police are convinced that
Ruth and Louise were k*lled

by the same man.

- They're wrong, I'm
telling you they're wrong.

Mats Vickborg k*lled Louise.
- Major.

- Then his father
k*lled this other girl.

k*lled her, to clear
his son's name.

- You seen him,

he can barely walk let
alone get up a mountain.

Both girls disappeared at
the height of the tourist season.

Both were English.

The police are now focusing
on the tourists who return

to Lom at the same
time each year.

You could help.

- How?

- By giving them a list.

Friends, family, anyone you
can think of who came out

regularly to ski with
you, especially this year.

It's possible that you and
your wife weren't the only ones

who had a good reason to return.

The anniversary of
Louise's disappearance.

[thoughtful music]

No wonder the prosecution
were dragging their heels

on these results.

- [Peter] Don't tell me,

he had a liter of
meds in his blood.

- As good as.

He'd taken enough sedative
to depress his breathing

to a dangerous level,

and enough drink to give
himself acute alcohol poisoning.

The combination was lethal.

- So my client's off the hook?

- Yes.

- Great.

We're in court on July
the 24th morning session,

can you make that?

- I'll ring if
there's a problem.

- Brilliant.

On another
matter, I hate to ask,

but I've been doing the
legal work for the Townsends,

Ruth's parents, arranging the
return of the body to England.

Mrs. Townsend wanted to
know if she could see you,

but I said I couldn't
promise anything, but.

- It's fine, I don't mind.

[projector whirring]

- [Cameraman] Louise?

Louise?

Louise over here.

- Oh stop it I don't
want you filming me.

- [Cameraman] Come,
come on give us a smile.

- John, don't film me.

I don't like it.

Idiot, stop it!

- Mrs. Townsend for me?

- Yeah, she's just over there.

- Thanks.

- Mrs. Townsend?

Sam Ryan, I'm so sorry
to have kept you waiting.

- Oh no no I'm early.

- Should we go to my
office and get a coffee?

- Louise was so full of life.

She was always
happy, kind, and loving.

Everything that I'm not.

I know it sounds bizarre but
it helps knowing the details.

Knowing that she didn't suffer,

but no one's
telling us anything.

Malcolm doesn't want to
know but I do, I need to know.

Do you understand?

- Yes.

Yes I do.

Losing someone so
close can be unbearable.

It's hard enough without it
being shrouded in mystery.

- Do you know how the
investigation's going?

The police came to interview us

but they said it's all
being dealt with in Norway.

- I'm not involved
in the investigation

but I know when I was out
there the police didn't expect

any sudden breakthroughs.

As far as I can tell

they've virtually no
physical evidence to go on.

- Well, what about those
psychologists that the police use

you know that are
on the television,

they build up a picture
of what the k*ller's like,

I mean, would they
be able to help?

- They make it look
very easy on television.

I don't think it quite
works like that.

- So they're not going
to find the person

who k*lled my daughter?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Don't be, it's okay.

- I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

I can't stop thinking about her.

I'll never forgive
myself for letting her go.

I've got no one who knows
what I'm feeling who can help me.

- Your husband?

- Malcolm cocoons
himself in his faith.

I'm afraid I have difficulty

in seeing God's
plan in all of this.

I'm sorry, you don't
want to hear all of this,

you've been so kind.

- I'm just sorry I
can't tell you anymore.

- Thank you for seeing me.

I know it may not look like it

but you have been a great help.

[phone ringing]

- DCI Norton.

Sam, yeah.

Yeah.

What?

- A profiler, to find out why
the k*ller does what he does.

- I don't think so.

Would you get a
carpenter in to do your job?

No, I know it isn't.

Look I once spent


only to be told that the
m*rder*r was male, white,

age between 18 and 35.

Didn't exactly narrow it down.

- Well just so long as
you're keeping an open mind.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Sam Ryan.

No, no tell him no I've got
too much on at the moment.

Well just get him to make
an appointment, okay.

Thanks.

- Professor Ryan could
I, could I have a word.

- I'm sorry Mr. Taylor
my secretary did say...

- Yes, yes, I know but...

- So if you don't mind,
this isn't the proper place.

- Right.

- Hey.

- Right, sorry.

- I don't have much time.

- I uh, I hear that
Louise was pregnant.

- Yes.

- Is it still possible

to identify who the
father might have been.

- Yes.

- I'd like to
volunteer for that,

to take a paternity test.

- Are the Huttons aware of this?

- No, no they're not but
uh, if the test's positive,

then of course...

Louise and I we um...

- Look you don't
have to explain.

- One night, here in England

Louise came to see me.

She was very upset, she was
very confused, family trouble.

I don't, I don't I don't
know, she didn't really say.

All she wanted was
comfort, to be held you know,

to feel safe and
I, I took advantage

and she never forgave me.

Later when we ended up
on holiday together as usual

I tried to make amends.

The last time I saw
Louise I said some terrible,

terrible things and I never
had the chance to unsay them.

I tried.

I followed her back into
the bar but she took refuge

with her uncle.

- Henry.

- Yeah.

- Have you spoken to
DCI Norton about this?

- No, no not yet but I've made
an arrangement to see him.

- Evening sir,
what can I get you?

- Eh, tonic water please.

- Can I get you
anything else sir?

- Have you got a
bottle of champagne?

- I think so.

[knocking at door]

- Come in.

Ah, Professor Ryan.

- Professor Michaels.

- [Professor Michaels] Don't
see you in this department

very often.

- Could I pick your
brains about something?

- Sure.

What now?

I mean is it a quick thing or?

- Well.
- Just I'm famished.

I was hoping to grab a
bite before Stuart's lecture.

- Shall I join you?

I mean I don't mean the lecture.

- [laughs] Didn't think you did.

- [Bartender] Two glasses.

- [Henry] Keep the change.

- Thank you very much sir.

Excuse me girls, you see the
young chap standing by the bar?

Has he gone?

Oh, em tall chap, specs,
a bit spotty you know?

- No.

- Strange.

Well he asked me to
bring this over to you

but he seems to
have lost his nerve.

Well it seems a
pity to waste it.

Who'd like a glass?

[girls giggling]

- So what are the
police actually doing?

- I don't know but they don't
seem very keen on the idea

of a profiler.

They want facts, hard evidence.

A broad spectrum of
possibilities doesn't always

go down very well
with the boys in blue.

- Still with no
physical evidence

can they afford to be choosy?

- I don't think they
quite see it like that.

- Thank you.

- They say the camera never
lies, to think that someone...

- Mrs. Hutton.

- Remember that couple?

Was it the Fordhams?

- Yes.

Yes that was the
year that I met um,

the year I met Claire.

- Oh yes.

I'm sorry to hear about you two.

- I shouldn't even
have mentioned it.

I uh,

I saw Louise the
night she disappeared,

and we had a row
and I upset her.

You see,

I never got the chance
to apologize, to say sorry,

stupid pride.

The last thing I wanted
was to be shown up

in front of anyone else.

Especially someone like Henry.

- Henry?

- Yes, he was there too.

Always so sophisticated.

- Bottle of Tuscana
please and some water.

- Grazie.

- Two bodies
k*lled 15 years apart

but both given the
same snow burial.

And they were completely naked?

- The only thing found on
the body were hair slides.

- Hair slides.

- The second victim's
hair had been tied back

into two bunches.

- Before or after death?

- I don't know

but the hair slides didn't
belong to either victim.

- Then they'll be significant.

- In what way.

- Only the k*ller
would know for sure,

could be resentment, could
have been made to wear

them himself or been
abused by someone who did.

Fantasy, sometimes a
particularly traumatic event occurs,

often in childhood or adolescence
that becomes embedded

in a fantasy.

Association, could remind
him of someone, sometime.

Arousal, memories of an
early sexual experience.

- One victim was pregnant
and the other was still a virgin,

but neither had been
sexually assaulted.

- For some K*llers
it's the k*lling itself

that gives a sexual high.

- If this is a sex crime

could he have k*lled
more than twice?

- Maybe.

After he k*lled the first time
he might not have intended

to k*ll again but if for some
reason he became stressed...

- Stressed?

- Personal circumstances
changing for the worse,

trouble with a
significant other, debt.

k*ller's fantasies are
a refuge from real life.

- That's fine thank you.

- All this is straying a
long way from your territory.

- I know.

- What's got you so involved?

- Nothing.

I'm not.

I had to meet with the
parents of both girls.

- Ah.

Kinda sucks you in, doesn't it?

[Henry and girls chuckling]

- That didn't last
very long did it?

I don't see our
peculiar friend returning.

- Tough.

- That's what I think.

Well look, I'm Henry by the way.

Let me see if I
can get this right.

Um, Julie,

and uh...

- Vicki.

You've both been very
charming company but

all good things come to an end.

- Yup.

- Or maybe not.

I wonder, perhaps we can
just go on enjoying ourselves.

- How?

- Can ask for another bottle.

- No!

- [Henry] Why not?

- Because.

- So sorry,

I was assuming that you have
nothing more exciting to do,

two beautiful girls like you
must be in constant demand.

- No, we're not.

- Okay well in that case, how
much do you think we'll need?

- Ah, pint?

- That's Bob Jones'
daughter isn't it?

- Yeah.

- She's underage.

- Is she?

She looks old enough to me.

- Who's the other girl?

- [Bartender] Dunno.

- Can I have
another bottle and uh,

put a couple more on
ice while you're back.

I say girl, how many bottles
did we say we needed?

[girls laughing]

- Bob, it's Steven.

Look, it's probably
none of my business but,

I'm down the pub
and Julie's here.

- When you're analyzing a
crime you have to think about

how the k*ller
and the victim met.

- I'm right to
assume it's a him?

- Female serial
K*llers are very rare,

and their victims tend to be
men or children, not women.

You're almost certainly
dealing with a male psychopath.

- Psychopath?

- Well firstly the
lack of overkill.

He strangled them
but nothing more.

Neither of his victims
fought for their lives

so neither of them suspected
what he was about to do.

And these crimes show
a degree of planning.

No one saw anything,
he hid the bodies,

disposed of the clothes.

- And he had the hair slides.

- Yes.

- Drive safely.

- Thank you.

Goodbye.

- [Henry] If you want me to
ring back, you know what to do.

- Henry,

Henry I know you're there.

You couldn't leave her
alone could you, you bastard!

- [Steven] 20.

- Back in a minute.

Oh.

[girls laughing]

- Julie, out.

- Excuse me?

- And who the hell are you?

- Dad?

- Get your coat.

- She's drunk and
she's underage.

Someone has to look out for her.

- Natural selection.

I think it's time we
moved on, don't you.

Or we could be both
be a little more adult

without the world
and someone's dad.

Want to?

- No.

No way.

Get off.

- Come on.
- Get off!

Get off.

- If he's been able to pass
himself off in a smart ski crowd

he must have a certain
degree of social competence.

And what about friends?

- He'd have few close friends,

more likely to have
acquaintances.

Most psychopaths have
had an appalling childhood

and lack any ability
to empathize at all.

They have difficulty
in showing affection.

If he'd ever been married
he'd probably be divorced.

Quite a withdrawn personality.

Bear in mind that
everything I've said

comes with the usual
government health warning,

profile is about a type of
person, not a specific one.

- Of course.

Thanks.

Grand, thank you.

One last question.

How would he
react to the discovery

of the bodies in the snow?

- Big stressor,
big big stressor.

- Enough to cause
him to k*ll again?

- [Professor Michaels] Maybe.
