do you reckon this is connected then? The bomber must be odd though he hasn't been in touch. We must assume that some poor burgers primed to explode. Yeah, yes, any ideas? Seven so far, seven. He's dead about 24 hours, maybe a bit longer. Did he drown? Apparently not enough in his lungs. Asphyxiated, yes, I'd agree. It's quite a bit of bruising around the nose and mouth. More bruises here and here, fingertips. He's late thirties, I'd say. None of the best condition. He's been in the river a long while. The water's destroyed most of the data, but I tell you one thing, that lost Vermeer painting's a fake. What we need to identify the corpse, find out about his friends. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What painting? It's all over the place. Haven't you seen the posters? Dutch old master supposed to be destroyed centuries ago, now it's turned up, worth 30 million pounds. Okay, so what has that got to do with the stiff? Everything.

Have you ever heard of the golem? Golem, it's a horror story, isn't it? What do you think? Jewish folk story, a gigantic man made of clay. It's also the name of an assassin, real name Oscar Zunzer, one of the deadliest assassins in the world. That is his trademark style. This is a hit, definitely. The golem squeezes the life out of his victims with his bare hands. But what has this got to do with that painting? I don't see. Did you see? You just don't observe. All right, girls, come down, Sherlock. Do you want to take us through it? What do we know about this corpse? Killer's not left us with much, just the shirt and the trousers. They're pretty formal. Maybe he was going out for the night. But the trousers are heavy-duty polyester, nasty. Same as the shirt, cheap. They're both too big for him, so some kind of standard issue uniform. Dressed for work then. What kind of work?

there's a hook on his belt for a walkie-talkie. Tube driver, security guard, more likely that'll be borne out by his backside. Backside, flabby. You think the lead is sedentary life, yet the soles of his feet and the nascent drag his veins and his legs show otherwise. So, a lot of walking and a lot of sitting around. Security guards are looking good, and the watch helps too. The alarm shows he did regular night shift. Why regular? Maybe he just said his alarm like that the night before, you know. No, no, the buttons are stiff, hardly attached. He said his alarm like that a long time ago. His routine never varied, but there's something else. The killer must have been interrupted, otherwise he would have stripped the corpse completely. There was some kind of badger insignia on the shirt front that he tore off, suggesting the dead man works somewhere recognizable, some kind of institution. He found this inside his trouser pockets, sodding by the river, but still recognizably tickets. Ticket

stubs he worked in a museum or gallery. Did a quick check. The hitman gallery is reported. One of its attendance is missing, Alex Woodbridge. Tonight they unveil the rediscovered masterpiece. Now why would anyone want to pay the golem to suffocate a perfectly ordinary gallery attendant. In France, the dead man knew something about it. Something that would stop the owner getting paid 30 million pounds. The pictures are fake. Fantastic. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
