Silent Truth

Silent Truth is the 106th episode of Taggart

It was originally broadcast in Scotland on 17 October 2010 and was shown in the rest of the UK on 25 January 2011.

PLOT
When Iranian refugee Farid Mamood is found burnt to death, it initially appears that the murder was racially motivated - this is a multi-ethnic community with a great deal of tension and antagonism amongst the various groups.

The arrival of DC Mita Rahim, a multi-lingual DC from the Diversity Unit, demonstrates to Burke that his superiors are keeping a close eye on the case.

Preliminary enquires reveal two potential suspects - Farid's brother Yusi and a man named William Geddes. Both were seen in the vicinity of the crime scene. Ex-soldier Geddes certainly has racist views, but despite this, Burke is wary of assuming a race crime.

His instincts are vindicated, when local drug lord Keenan enters the frame and it becomes clear that something altogether more complex is at play.
