COPYRIGHT ABLE 2014 KIA ORA, GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO 3RD DEGREE. TONIGHT ` A HAUNTING LOVE STORY. A YOUNG WOMAN HUNTED DOWN AND CRUELLY MURDERED BY HER OWN FAMILY. AND SHE'D WARNED POLICE ON FIVE OCCASIONS EXACTLY WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. PEOPLE FOLLOWING ME. < WOMAN: OK. THERE'S JUST SUCH AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE THAT THIS GIRL IS MISSING AND NOBODY CARES ABOUT HER. PLUS, SARAH HALL MEETS THE NEXT LYDIA KO ` A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO'S SET TO TAKE THE GOLFING WORLD BY STORM. YOU KNOW THEY CALL YOU THE NEXT LYDIA KO? YES. YOU KNOW THEY CALL YOU THE NEXT LYDIA KO? YES. IT'S PRESSURE, ISN'T IT? YOU THE NEXT LYDIA KO? YES. IT'S PRESSURE, ISN'T IT? YEAH. BUT TO GET THIS GOOD, SHE HAS TO PRACTICE AND TRAIN AND MAKE ALL SORTS OF SACRIFICES. IS SHE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DATE? PRACTICE AND TRAIN AND MAKE ALL SORTS OF SACRIFICES. IS SHE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DATE? (LAUGHS) SORTS OF SACRIFICES. IS SHE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DATE? (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS) RIGHT, OUR FIRST STORY THIS WEEK IS INCREDIBLY POIGNANT. IT'S THE STORY OF A YOUNG WOMAN IN LONDON WHO WANTS TO ESCAPE AN UNHAPPY AND ABUSIVE MARRIAGE, BUT SHE CAN'T, BECAUSE, WELL, HER FAMILY, THEY DISAPPROVE. IN FACT, THEY DISAPPROVE SO STRONGLY THEY'RE WILLING TO HUNT HER DOWN, TORTURE HER AND KILL HER. YES, AND THIS EXTRAORDINARY CRUEL MURDER WOULD NEVER HAVE COME TO LIGHT IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE DETERMINATION AND TENACITY OF A COURAGEOUS AND, I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY, BRILLIANT DETECTIVE. YOU'LL SEE THAT THAT'S THE CASE. THIS IS A STORY THAT SAMANTHA HAYES HAS WANTED TO BRING YOU FOR A LONG TIME. IT'S AN EMMY-AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY AND SAM HAS CUT IT DOWN, EDITED, REVOICED IT SO WE PLAY IT FOR YOU ON 3RD DEGREE, BECAUSE THIS IS, QUITE SIMPLY, EXCEPTIONAL AND VERY MOVING. UNSETTLING MUSIC WOMAN: SHE WAS A VERY CALM AND QUIET PERSON. SHE LOVED TO SEE PEOPLE HAPPY. SHE DID NOT LIKE ARGUMENTS. SHE JUST WANTED A HAPPY LIFE. SHE WANTED, YOU KNOW, A FAMILY. SINISTER MUSIC BANAZ MAHMOD DISAPPEARED FROM LONDON IN 2006, MURDERED BY MEMBERS OF HER OWN FAMILY. SHE TOLD THE POLICE SHE WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. BUT THEY LET HER DOWN. THIS IS HER STORY, TOLD IN HER OWN WORDS. CAMERA RATTLES WOMAN: WHO KILLED BANAZ? IF YOU'RE INNOCENT, THEN WHO KILLED BANAZ? WHO KILLED BANAZ? IF SHE WAS IN MY LIFE, MY LIFE WOULD BE ORANGE AND YELLOW. POIGNANT MUSIC CAROLINE GOODE LED THE INVESTIGATION INTO HER DEATH. SHE SAYS BANAZ'S FAMILY TRIED TO WIPE OUT HER MEMORY ALONG WITH HER LIFE. WOMAN: I'VE NEVER SEEN A PHOTOGRAPH IN THAT HOUSE OF BANAZ. I GUESS THEY DON'T WANNA REMEMBER. MY TAKE ON THAT... WAS THAT THEY SIMPLY WANTED TO ERASE HER FROM THE EARTH. AND THEREFORE THERE TO BE NO TRACE OF HER. POIGNANT MUSIC CONTINUES BANAZ WAS KURDISH. SHE WAS BORN IN NORTHERN IRAQ. WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG, THE FAMILY CAME TO BRITAIN AS REFUGEES FROM SADDAM HUSSEIN. SHE HAD A BROTHER AND FOUR SISTERS. SHE HAD A NICKNAME, NASKA. IT MEANS SOFTNESS, LIKE DELICATE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A NEWBORN LAMB. HER SISTER BEKHAL HAS TO WEAR A VEIL BECAUSE SHE'S LIVING IN HIDING FROM HER FAMILY. SHE HAD LONG EYELASHES, HAZEL EYES. SHE HAD APPLE CHEEKBONES. SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL. I MEAN, YOU COULD LOOK AT HER FOREVER. THE MEN OF BANAZ'S FAMILY HELD TRADITIONAL CULTURAL BELIEFS THAT THEIR HONOUR AND THEIR STATUS IN THE COMMUNITY DEPENDED UPON THEIR CONTROL OF THE WOMEN. HER FATHER WAS MAHMOD MAHMOD, BUT IT WAS HIS WEALTHY BROTHER ARI MAHMOD WHO HELD ALL THE POWER IN THE FAMILY. WHILE MAHMOD AND ARI REMAINED STRONGLY COMMITTED TO THEIR TRADITIONAL VALUES, THE YOUNG GIRLS IN THE FAMILY WERE EMBRACING THEIR NEW WESTERN INFLUENCES. BEKHAL RAN INTO TROUBLE WITH HER FATHER. I WASN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE MY NAILS LONG. I WASN'T ALLOWED TO PLUCK MY EYEBROWS. YOU KNOW, PERFUME. I WAS GETTING A LOT OF BEATINGS, I HAVE TO SAY. IT WAS... IT WAS A LOT OF NASTY BEATINGS, YOU KNOW? I LEFT HOME WHEN I WAS JUST UNDER 16. BECAUSE OF HIS DAUGHTERS, MAHMOD WAS LOSING FACE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THE FAMILY NEEDED TO RESTORE ITS HONOUR. BEKHAL'S BROTHER PERSUADED HER TO MEET WITH HIM. HE LURED HER TO A REMOTE LOCATION, AND HE GOT HER TO CARRY A SUITCASE. 'WALK ALONG THAT PATH IN FRONT OF ME. DON'T TURN AROUND. DON'T LOOK AT WHAT I'M DOING.' HE JUST HIT ME OVER THE HEAD WITH A DUMBBELL, A SINGLE ARM WEIGHT. HE PUT HIS ARM ROUND MY NECK, LIFTED ME OFF MY FEET ALMOST. YOU KNOW, ME PANICKING, AND I STARTED TRYING TO GET MYSELF FREE FROM HIM. I BIT HIS ARM IN THAT BEND OF HIS ARM, AND I KICKED HIM, KICKED ON HIS KNEE, AND HE LET GO OF ME. AND I SAID TO HIM, 'LOOK. LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING. YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO KILL ME.' AND I'M SAYING THIS, SCREAMING OUT TO HIM, AND HE STOPPED FOR A MINUTE AND HE STARTED CRYING LIKE A WOMAN. PROPER` YOU KNOW, REALLY REALLY CRYING. AND HE SAID, 'I'M REALLY SORRY, BUT I'M` I'M THE BIG BOY. I'M THE BIG MAN... AFTER MY DAD. 'I HAVE TO DO THIS ` PUT A SHAME TO AN END.' THAT IS EXACTLY HIS WORDS, ACTUALLY. AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY DAD ACTUALLY PAID HIM... TO DO THIS TO ME. BEKHAL DID NOT REPORT HER BROTHER AND WENT INTO HIDING. SO ALL OF THIS WAS GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND BEFORE BANAZ AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. POIGNANT MUSIC AT THE AGE OF 17, BANAZ WAS MARRIED. HIS NAME WAS ALI. IT WAS AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE TO MAN THAT SHE'D ONLY EVER MET ON ONE PREVIOUS OCCASION. HE WAS 10 YEARS OLDER THAN BANAZ, HE WAS ILLITERATE AND HE WAS LITERALLY JUST OFF THE PLANE FROM IRAQ. AFTER TWO YEARS OF MARRIAGE, BANAZ LEFT ALI AND WENT TO THE POLICE. HE WAS A STRICT HUSBAND. UM... UM... UM... UM... UM... THAT'S ONLY ONE EXAMPLE OUT OF MANY MANY OCCASIONS WHEN HE WAS EITHER PHYSICALLY OR SEXUALLY ABUSIVE TOWARDS HER. UM, EVENTUALLY ONE OF HER SISTERS FOUND OUT, AND THROUGH THAT SISTER, THE REST OF THE FAMILY WERE MADE AWARE, AND HE ADMITTED, 'YEAH, I DO BEAT YOUR DAUGHTER, BUT IT'S COS SHE'S DISRESPECTFUL. 'AND I DO FORCE HER TO HAVE SEX, BUT, YOU KNOW, ONLY WHEN SHE SAYS NO.' SO THAT IS SOMETHING THE FAMILY FOUND ACCEPTABLE AND SENT HER BACK TO TRY HARDER TO BE A BETTER WIFE TO HER HUSBAND. BANAZ TRIED TO LEAVE HER HUSBAND ON SEVERAL MORE OCCASIONS, BUT BEING A MUSLIM WOMAN, SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET A DIVORCE. AFTER ONE FINAL INCIDENT, SHE LEFT HIM FOR GOOD. EMOTIONALLY: UM... (SNIFFLES) SHE'D JUST HAD ENOUGH, BUT OF COURSE, LEAVING YOUR HUSBAND IN MY CULTURE IS NOT ALLOWED. IT'S THE WORST THING TO DO FOR A WOMAN. WELCOME BACK TO 3RD DEGREE. SO BANAZ MAHMOD HAS ABANDONED HER ARRANGED MARRIAGE. SHE KNOWS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HER FAMILY, BUT SHE FEELS HER HUSBAND IS SO ABUSIVE, SHE HAS NO CHOICE. NO, SHE DOESN'T, AND NOW SHE'S GOING TO MAKE THINGS MUCH MUCH WORSE FOR HERSELF. SHE'S ABOUT TO FACE THE BIG NO-NO. SHE'S ABOUT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER MAN. OMINOUS MUSIC IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER SHE LEFT HER HUSBAND, ALI, THAT BANAZ MET RAHMAT. WOMAN: RAHMAT IS- HE'S A LOVELY GUY. THEY HAD PLANNED TO HAVE KIDS. THEY HAD NAMES. THEY HAD PLANS FOR EVERYTHING, YEAH. BANAZ AND RAHMAT CONTACTED EACH OTHER EVERY DAY BUT KEPT THEIR RELATIONSHIP SECRET. THEY KNEW THE COMMUNITY WAS WATCHING. WOMAN: AFTER BANAZ LEFT HER HUSBAND, SHE WAS WORRIED THAT MEN WERE FOLLOWING HER IN THE STREET. I RECOGNISED ONE FACE AND... UM... HE... HE... < OK. < MM-HM. THE POLICE NEVER FOLLOWED UP ON ANY OF HER COMPLAINTS. UNSETTLING MUSIC TWO MONTHS AFTER SHE WENT TO THE POLICE, BANAZ AND RAHMAT WERE SPOTTED TOGETHER. AT THIS LITTLE PRIDE OF SHOPS, BANAZ AND RAHMAT WERE SEEN KISSING EACH OTHER. IT WAS OUTSIDE THE TUBE STATION, WHICH IS JUST DOWN THE ROAD HERE. VERY QUICK TO PUT THE PHONE CALL IN TO THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY, 'GUESS WHAT I'VE SEEN YOUR NIECE DOING.' AND, UM, THAT WAS WHAT TRIGGERED THE WHOLE THING. AND FOLLOWING THAT, THERE WAS WHAT I WOULD TERM A COUNCIL OF WAR AT THE HOME OF ARI MAHMOD TO WHICH THE MEN OF THE EXTENDED FAMILY WERE INVITED, AND A DECISION WAS MADE THERE AND THEN. SOMBRE MUSIC BANAZ WENT TO THE POLICE AGAIN, TELLING THEM SHE'D OVERHEARD HER UNCLE SAY SHE WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. SHE GAVE THEM A LETTER IDENTIFYING FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS SHE THOUGHT WERE GOING TO MURDER HER, BUT SHE ASKED THE POLICE NOT TO TAKE ACTION. A FEW WEEKS LATER, HER FATHER REQUESTED SHE COME TO A RELATIVE'S HOUSE TO DISCUSS HER DIVORCE. HE ASKED HER TO CARRY A SUITCASE INTO THE HOUSE AND GAVE HER SOME BRANDY. HE TOLD HER TO SIT ON THE SOFA, LOOK AT THE TELEVISION, DON'T TURN ROUND, DON'T LOOK AT WHAT I'M DOING. AND SHE DID TURN AROUND AND LOOK AT HER FATHER AND SHE CAUGHT HIM... COMING UP ON HER WEARING RUBBER GLOVES, TRAINING SHOES, AND SHE BECAME AWARE IN THAT INSTANT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. SHE KNEW THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. BUT HER FATHER LEFT THE ROOM AGAIN. IT GAVE BANAZ A CHANCE TO GET AWAY. SHE MANAGED TO ESCAPE FROM THE BACK OF THE HOUSE, AND SHE'S PLUNGED HER HANDS THROUGH THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR'S WINDOW TO TRY AND GET ATTENTION. SHE CLIMBED OVER A FENCE, STAGGERED OFF UP THE ROAD, BARE FEET, BLEEDING FROM HER HANDS AND WRISTS, AND COLLAPSED ON THE FLOOR OF A NEARBY CAFE. HOSPITAL STAFF THAT DEALT WITH HER ON THAT NIGHT SAID THEY'D NEVER SEEN ANYONE SO FRIGHTENED IN THEIR LIFE. RAHMAT ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL. HE FILMED HER ON HIS PHONE. (SPEAKS FARSI) ONCE AGAIN, THE POLICE OFFERED HER NO HELP. ONE OFFICER EVEN CONSIDERED CHARGING HER FOR THE DAMAGE SHE'D CAUSED TO THE NEIGHBOUR'S WINDOW DURING HER ESCAPE. SINISTER MUSIC AFTER BANAZ CAME OUT OF HOSPITAL, SHE WENT AND STAYED WITH RAHMAT VERY BRIEFLY BUT WAS THEN PERSUADED BY HER FAMILY TO COME AND MEET THEM AT MCDONALD'S IN TOOTING TO PERSUADE HER TO COME HOME. UM, BLESS HER, SHE DID GO HOME AND... BANAZ HAD SAID SOMETHING ALONG THE LINES OF, YOU KNOW, 'IF I RUN AWAY, I'M DEAD. IF I GO HOME, I'M DEAD.' YOU KNOW, SO... THAT SENSE OF ABSOLUTE FUTILITY, WHICH GOES SOME WAY TO EXPLAINING HER DECISION TO GO HOME. THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST MESSAGES BANAZ SENT TO RAHMAT. THE NEXT MORNING SHE DISAPPEARED. UNSETTLING MUSIC WELCOME BACK. SO, BANAZ, A YOUNG KURDISH WOMAN LIVING IN LONDON HAS DISAPPEARED, AND SHE'S BEEN REPORTED MISSING BY HER BOYFRIEND, RAHMAT. THE LAST ANYONE KNEW, SHE'D GONE TO STAY WITH HER FAMILY, EVEN THOUGH SHE KNEW THEY WANTED HER DEAD, AND SHE'D WARNED THE POLICE OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, BUT THEY DIDN'T LISTEN. NO, THEY DIDN'T, AND IT'S ONLY NOW, WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE HER WARNING, WELL, IT'S FINALLY COME TO PASS, DO THEY GET PROPERLY INVOLVED. AN INVESTIGATION IS LAUNCHED UNDER DETECTIVE CHIEF INSPECTOR CAROLINE GOODE. I WAS ON CALL. IT WAS MY FIRST WEEK IN CHARGE OF THAT TEAM. AND I HAD A PHONE CALL FROM A LOCAL DETECTIVE INSPECTOR WHO WAS WORRIED ABOUT ONE OF HIS MISSING PERSONS. AND MY JOB, REALLY, WAS` I WAS THE INTEL SERGEANT. SO MY JOB WAS TO DEAL WITH ALL THE INTELLIGENCE THAT WE GATHERED I WAS PART OF TEAM 16 OVER AT LEWISHAM. AND I BECAME THE CASE OFFICER. I WAS ONE OF THE DETECTIVE SERGEANTS. NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE KURDISH COMMUNITY HELPED US. WE DIDN'T GET ANY... POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION FROM THE COMMUNITY, AND THERE MUST'VE BEEN DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO BANAZ. I THINK WE ENCOUNTERED QUITE A WIDE SCALE OF ATTEMPTS AND CONSPIRACY TO PERVERT THE COURSE OF JUSTICE. YOUNG MEN WHO MADE FALSE STATEMENTS. PEOPLE SAYING THAT SHE WAS ALIVE, WHEN, IN FACT, SHE WASN'T. THERE WAS LOTS OF WORK THAT WENT ON AND LOTS OF RED HERRINGS. LOTS OF THINGS WHERE WE WERE LOOKING AT THINGS, AND IT WOULD TAKE US A WEEK TO ELIMINATE THAT LINE OF ENQUIRY. INVOLVING THEMSELVES IN IT, THAT'S ENHANCING THEIR OWN IMAGE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THERE WERE OVER 50 PEOPLE INVOLVED, TO SOME DEGREE OR ANOTHER, IN THAT MURDER. I THINK WE FOUND OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF THE INVESTIGATION THAT... BANAZ HAD AN OLDER SISTER CALLED BEKHAL, WHO WAS ESTRANGED FROM THE FAMILY. SHE WASN'T LIVING AT THE FAMILY HOME. I HAD POLICE KNOCKING ON MY DOOR ASKING IF THEY COULD COME IN. AND THEY SAID TO ME, 'IT'S ABOUT YOUR SISTER. YOU SISTER'S GONE MISSING.' SO WHEN THEY SAID TO ME, 'SHE'S GONE MISSING,' AND MY FAMILY DON'T KNOW, I KNEW THAT WASN'T TRUE. I KNEW THAT WAS NOT TRUE, BECAUSE I KNEW` I JUST KNEW IN MY HEART THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S TO DO WITH THE FAMILY MEMBERS, THE MEN. I KNEW IT. THE POLICE WERE NOW THROWING ALL THEIR RESOURCES AT THE CASE. BUT THE CLUE TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO BANAZ WAS ALREADY IN THEIR HANDS, AND IT HAD COME FROM BANAZ HERSELF. THIS IS A LETTER THAT WAS DELIVERED BY BANAZ TO HER LOCAL POLICE STATION ON OR AROUND THE 12TH OF DECEMBER 2005. IN IT, SHE HAS GIVEN DETAILS OF PEOPLE THAT SHE HAS HEARD WERE GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING HER. READS: 'NUMBERS 2, 3, 4 AND 5 HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE READY AND WILLING 'TO DO THE JOB OF KILLING ME AND MY BOYFRIEND. 'AND THIS WAS SAID BY MY UNCLE ARI MAHMOD WHILE MY UNCLE WAS ON THE PHONE TO MY MUM 'ON THE 2ND OF DECEMBER AT AROUND 6 TO 7 THAT EVENING. 'HE ALSO SAID THAT HE IS GOING TO KILL ME AND MY BOYFRIEND, RAHMAT.' AND IT'S SIGNED 'BANAZ MAHMOD'. YOU KNOW, JUST CHILDLIKE WRITING, SPEAKING LITERALLY FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE. 'THIS IS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME.' AND FROM THAT LETTER, WE WERE ABLE SUBSEQUENTLY TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT. AND THE LETTER WAS ACCURATE IN EVERY DETAIL OF WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT THESE MEN. THERE'S OMAR HUSSAIN, MOHAMMED ALI, MOHAMMAD HAMA. AND THOSE THREE MEN ARE COUSINS, SO THEY ARE COUSINS OF BANAZ, AND THEY ARE COUSINS OF EACH OTHER. MOHAMMED HAMA WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH HER MURDER. IT WAS A RACE AGAINST TIME, BECAUSE WE HAD CHARGED MOHAMMAD HAMA, THERE IS ONLY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME THAT YOU CAN KEEP SOMEONE IN CUSTODY. AND WE STILL HADN'T FOUND THE BODY. WE COULDN'T EVEN PROVE THAT BANAZ WAS DEAD, MUCH LESS THAT MOHAMMAD HAMA HAD BEEN THE ONE TO KILL HER. SO THE RACE REALLY ON TO FIND BANAZ'S BODY. AND THE MAHMOD FAMILY WERE SHOWING NO INTEREST IN THIS INVESTIGATION WHATSOEVER. THEY WEREN'T RINGING US UP AND SAYING, 'HAVE YOU FOUND MY DAUGHTER YET?' JUST ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST. EVEN WHEN WE WERE DRAGGING THE LAKE OPPOSITE THEIR HOUSE, NO ONE CAME OUT OR, YOU KNOW` JUST NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER. IT'S JUST SUCH AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE, UM, THAT THIS GIRL IS MISSING AND NOBODY CARES ABOUT HER. SHE WAS A COMPLETELY INNOCENT VICTIM. AND I THINK THOSE THINGS HIT HOME, AND YOU ALWAYS DO THINGS FOR THE VICTIM'S FAMILY. IT'S ONE THING WE ALWAYS` YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS TRY TO SOLVE MURDERS FOR THE VICTIM'S FAMILY. WITH THIS ONE, WE NEVER TRIED TO SOLVE THE MURDER FOR THE VICTIM'S FAMILY. WE TRIED TO SOLVE THE MURDER FOR BANAZ, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANYBODY ELSE. HER FAMILY HAD KILLED HER. THE TWO MOHAMMEDS FOLLOWED A REALLY STRANGE PATTERN OF BEHAVIOUR IN THAT THEIR TELEPHONES WERE SHOWING THAT THEY WERE COMING BACK DOWN TO LONDON, TO-ING AND FRO-ING BETWEEN LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM. MOHAMMED HAMA HAD BEEN USING A RENTAL CAR, AND THE GPS HAD RECORDED EVERYWHERE IT HAD BEEN. THE POLICE FILMED THE AREAS WHERE THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED. WE GOT SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THERE BEING A FREEZER OVER THE GRAVE. AND CAROLINE AND I WERE JUST SITTING THERE WHEN WE GOT THIS INFORMATION, AND SHE WENT, 'WE'VE SEEN THAT FREEZER, HAVEN'T WE?' AND I WENT, 'YEAH.' WE WERE SITTING THERE TRYING TO RACK OUR BRAINS, AND SHE SUDDENLY WENT, 'THAT'S FROM THE VIDEO. WHERE'S THE VIDEO?' SO WE LOOKED AT IT AND SURE ENOUGH, THERE'S A FREEZER IN THIS BACK GARDEN THAT WE SEE FROM THE HELICOPTER THAT I WAS UP IN. SO THAT WAS IT. WE WERE, LIKE, 'THAT'S GOTTA BE THERE.' SO STUART AND I GOT IN THE CAR, AND LITERALLY DROVE UP THERE THAT NIGHT. ONCE WE WERE INSIDE, WE TOOK WITH US A FORENSIC ARCHAEOLOGIST, WHO LOOKED AT THE GROUND OUTSIDE IN THE REAR GARDEN, AND IMMEDIATELY SAW THAT THERE'D BEEN A DISTURBANCE IN THE EARTH TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. BURIED 6FT DOWN, HER BODY HIDDEN IN A SUITCASE, THE DETECTIVES FOUND BANAZ. SHE WAS IN A` LIKE, A FOETAL POSITION. SHE WAS CURLED UP, LIKE, IN A` IN A` IN A FOETAL POSITION, WHICH IS SOMEHOW` I DON'T KNOW. THAT SOMEHOW FOR ME MAKES IT EVEN WORSE THAT THAT FOETAL POSITION REPRESENTING A CHILD, ALMOST LIKE A CHILD IN A WOMB BEING IN THAT SUITCASE. WELCOME BACK. SO, BANAZ HAS BEEN FOUND. HER BODY HAS BEEN DUMPED IN A SUITCASE AND BURIED IN A BACKYARD. IT'S QUITE AMAZING THAT POLICE MANAGED TO LOCATE IT. REALLY INCREDIBLE DETECTIVE WORK. SO NOW THEY KNOW FOR SURE THAT BANAZ HAS BEEN MURDERED, AND THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHO DID IT. AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR WHAT THE PERPETRATORS DID IN THEIR OWN WORDS. I SHOULD WARN YOU, THOUGH, THAT SOME OF THE DETAIL IS GRAPHIC, AND SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IS STRONG. IT IS, BUT THE FIRST JOB FOR THE INQUIRY TEAM IS TO INFORM BANAZ'S SISTER. HER NAME IS BEKHAL. I COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF. I WANTED TO JUST BE OUT OF MY SKIN. JUST DIE. JUST... IT WAS, YOU KNOW, THEY SAID TO ME THEY'D FOUND MY SISTER BURIED IN A SUITCASE, AND WATER PIPES HAVE BROKEN WHILE THEY PUT HER DOWN THERE. SO IT WAS QUITE SEVERE, THE SITUATION. IT WAS QUITE HORRIBLE. IT JUST SHATTERED ME. IT JUST SHATTERED ME TO PIECES. WORST THING I'VE EVER GONE THROUGH, PROBABLY, IN MY LIFE. SEEING MY OWN SISTER TURNING TO ASHES LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD` THAT IS ENOUGH TO TURN SOMEONE MAD. REFLECTIVE MUSIC THREE MEN WERE CHARGED WITH BANAZ'S MURDER, INCLUDING HER FATHER AND UNCLE. TWO OTHER SUSPECTS HAD GONE ON THE RUN AND FLED TO IRAQ. IN COURT, BANAZ'S SISTER TESTIFIED AGAINST HER FAMILY. I HAVE MASSIVE, MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR BEKHAL FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO GIVE EVIDENCE AGAINST HER FAMILY; KNOWING THAT YOUR FAMILY WOULD HAVE YOU KILLED FOR DOING IT. RAHMAT ALSO GAVE EVIDENCE. HE'S STILL IN HIDING. WE KNOW NOW THAT BANAZ WAS MURDERED ON THE MORNING OF THE 24TH OF JANUARY. FROM PIECING TOGETHER ALL OF THE EVIDENCE, THE SUSPECTS MET AT MOHAMMAD HAMA'S ADDRESS, AND THEN MADE THEIR WAY TO BANAZ'S HOME. IT WAS BANAZ'S HABIT TO SLEEP ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR. THERE WASN'T A BEDROOM FOR HER. THERE WASN'T SUFFICIENT ROOM IN THE HOUSE, SO SHE WOULD SLEEP ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR. AND THOSE THREE MEN ` MOHAMMAD ALI, MOHAMMAD HAMA AND OMAR HUSSEIN ` CAME INTO THE HOUSE. WOKEN UP TO FIND THREE MEN BURSTING INTO YOUR ROOM AND KNOWING, AT THAT POINT, THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE KILLED. POLICE HAD SECRETLY RECORDED MOHAMMAD HAMA TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED THAT MORNING. HE WAS BOASTING - BLATANTLY BOASTING ` ABOUT WHAT THOSE MEN HAD DONE TO BANAZ THAT MORNING, AND THEN LAUGHING. THEY'RE SLAPPING EACH OTHER ON THE BACK, YOU KNOW? BEING MANLY. THEY WERE SLAPPING HER. FUCKING HER. 'I HAVE FUCKED HER ANALLY. 'THE BITCH'S SOUL WAS NOT GETTING DISCHARGED WITH ANYTHING. IT TOOK MORE THAN HALF AN HOUR. '<BLEEP> WAS UPSTAIRS AS WELL. <BLEEP> WAS AWARE. I SWEAR TO GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS THERE. 'FUCK HER. ARI, THE BASTARD, LIED TO US. ARI SAID THERE WAS NO ONE THERE. 'WELL, I PUT MY LEG THERE ON HER BACK. MOHAMMAD ON HER NECK. 'HE MADE THE CORD LIKE A HOOK. I HELD HER HAND AND SAID, "PUT IT AROUND QUICKLY." 'AND WHEN SHE HEARD THAT, SHE WAS TERRIFIED. 'HE IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CORD AROUND HER NECK. SHE WAS VOMITING. 'WELL, HE PUT THE WIRE AROUND HER NECK AND GAVE IT TO ME. 'THEN I WAS HOLDING TO THE CORD SO TIGHT AND STAMPING ON HER NECK AS WELL. 'WHEN I STAMPED ON THE BACK OF HER NECK, HER MOUTH AND NOSE WERE ON THE FLOOR. HER NECK WAS IN THE SUITCASE. 'I WAS SAYING, "LET HER SOUL BE DISCHARGED." I WAS KICKING HER HEAD. 'THE SOUL WOULD NOT DISCHARGE THAT EASILY. THE WIRE AROUND HER NECK, IT WENT DEEP THROUGH THE SKIN. 'HER SOUL WAS NOT GETTING DISCHARGED. 'BECAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO TIGHTEN IT FURTHER, HE TIGHTENED IT AROUND HER NECK, 'AND IT DIDN'T TAKE MORE THAN FOUR TO FIVE MINUTES. 'HER SOUL WAS DISCHARGED, AND SHE DIDN'T MAKE A SOUND.' REFLECTIVE MUSIC BANAZ'S FATHER, MAHMOD, AND UNCLE, ARI, WERE GIVEN LIFE SENTENCES FOR ARRANGING HER MURDER. HER COUSIN MOHAMMAD HAMA PLEADED GUILTY AND ALSO RECEIVED A LIFE SENTENCE. BUT THE TWO OTHER COUSINS, OMAR HUSSEIN AND MOHAMMED ALI, WERE STILL IN IRAQ. THE TEAM TRAVELLED THERE TO GET THE COURTS TO EXTRADITE THEM. WE DID FOLLOW THEM TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, REALLY. YOU KNOW WHAT CAROLINE'S LIKE. SHE DOESN'T STOP. SO, UH... YEAH, AND IT TOOK THREE YEARS, BUT GOT IT DONE IN THE END. I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE IN DANGER. SAFETY IS SOMETHING I DREAM OF. YEP. SOMETHING THAT I REALLY REALLY AM LONGING FOR, BUT IN MY CIRCUMSTANCES, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON. I'M ONLY DOING THIS IN THE NAME OF MY SISTER. YOU KNOW, FOR MY SISTER. AND, YOU KNOW, SHE WILL ALWAYS LIVE ON IN MY HEART, IN MY LIFE. I CERTAINLY FELT THAT WE HAD BECOME SURROGATE PARENTS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T FEEL THAT SHE WAS LOVED BY HER OWN... BY HER OWN PARENTS, THAT W-WE TOOK OVER THAT PARENTING... PARENTING ROLE. BUT, UH... AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE WERE TOO CLOSE TO THE INVESTIGATION. IT JUST MEANT THAT WE WERE SHOWING HER LOVE AND RESPECT, AND THAT SOMEONE... SOMEONE SHOULD LOVE HER. SOMEONE SHOULD CARE. SO WE DID, AND WE STILL DO. (CHUCKLES) WHAT AN AMAZING POLICEWOMAN. YOU CAN SEE IT WRITTEN ALL OVER HER FACE, CAN'T YOU? HOW MUCH SHE REALLY DOES GENUINELY CARE. FACE, CAN'T YOU? HOW MUCH SHE REALLY DOES GENUINELY CARE. OH, ASTONISHING, THAT'S FOR SURE. UH, YEAH, IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS OF HER LIFE, BANAZ ACTUALLY WARNED POLICE ON AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND NOTHING WAS DONE, BUT ONCE THAT DETECTIVE THAT YOU SAW IN THE STORY THERE ` CAROLINE GOODE ` WAS APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE THE MURDER, IT'S ONLY THEN THAT THEY DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. YEAH, AND THEY'VE REVIEWED THEIR POLICIES, AND THEY'VE MADE CHANGES. THEY EVEN USE THIS DOCUMENTARY AS PART OF NEW POLICE TRAINING AROUND HONOUR KILLINGS. AND, BY THE WAY, BANAZ'S FAMILY WOULDN'T TALK TO THE DOCUMENTARY-MAKERS. UH, BUT THEY DID PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING IT WAS THE POLICE WHO LET BANAZ DOWN, UH, NOT THEM, AND YOU CAN SEE, UH, THEIR FULL STATEMENT THAT'S ON OUR WEBPAGE. OK, UP NEXT ` SARAH HALL TEES OFF WITH THE GIRL EVERYONE SAYS IS THE NEXT LYDIA KO. THERE'S LOTS OF PRESSURE? OK, UP NEXT ` SARAH HALL TEES OFF WITH THE GIRL EVERYONE SAYS IS THE NEXT LYDIA KO. THERE'S LOTS OF PRESSURE? YEAH, FROM MY DAD. OK, UP NEXT ` SARAH HALL TEES OFF WITH THE GIRL EVERYONE SAYS IS THE NEXT LYDIA KO. FROM YOUR DAD? I KNOW. YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT. ISN'T IT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON HER? YEP! > YEP! > SHE'S SAYING YES. YEP! > SHE'S SAYING YES. I DON'T THINK SO. (LAUGHS) WELCOME BACK. WELL, LYDIA KO HAS TAKEN THE GOLF WORLD BY STORM, AND SHE'S MADE IT LOOK EASY. AND NOW THE RACE IS ON TO FIND THE NEXT GREAT NZ GOLFER. YEAH, SO SARAH HALL ASKED AROUND. WHO'S THE NEXT LYDIA KO? NOT THAT SARAH LOOKS LIKE ANY SORT OF EXPERT ON THE GOLF COURSE, AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE, BUT EVERYONE POINTED TO A YOUNG GIRL WHO GOES BY THE NAME OF, WELL, NOT KO, BUT BO. UH-HUH. BO. SHE PLAYS WITH LYDIA'S OLD CLUBS. SHE'S TRAINED BY HER FORMER COACH, AND LIKE LYDIA, SHE HAS A FATHER WHO'LL DO ALMOST ANYTHING FOR HER TO SUCCEED. (PLAYS SERENE TUNE) SHE'S INCREDIBLY ACCOMPLISHED FOR A 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL. BUT IT HASN'T COME NATURALLY. IT'S PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. ALL UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF A PUSHY DAD DETERMINED FOR HIS DAUGHTER TO SUCCEED. YOU'RE ONLY 12, DARLING. SO, SOMETIMES YOU WANNA BE PLAYING WITH YOUR MATES? HANGING OUT ON FACEBOOK? SOMETIMES YOU WANNA BE PLAYING WITH YOUR MATES? HANGING OUT ON FACEBOOK? YEAH. WITH YOUR MATES? HANGING OUT ON FACEBOOK? YEAH. (LAUGHS) 'WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR LITTLE BO HYAN PARK TO BECOME A WORLD CHAMPION GOLFER?' 'WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR LITTLE SO, WHAT IS THE DREAM FOR YOU? CHAMPION GOLFER?' 'WHAT WOULD IT TAKE FOR LITTLE SO, WHAT IS THE DREAM FOR YOU? UM, BEING A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER. AND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU WORK INCREDIBLY HARD? UM, BEING A PROFESSIONAL GOLFER. AND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU WORK INCREDIBLY HARD? YEAH. AND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE? YEAH. AND, OBVIOUSLY, YOU THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE? YEAH, FROM MY DAD. FROM YOUR DAD? I KNOW. YOU'VE TOLD ME THAT. DAD PUTS ON A LOT OF PRESSURE. SO HE REALLY WANTS YOU TO MAKE IT, DOESN'T HE? PRESSURE. SO HE REALLY WANTS YOU TO MAKE IT, DOESN'T HE? YEAH. DAD'S NOT WATCHING. LET'S HAVE SOME FUN. (LAUGHS) HAVING NEVER DRIVEN A GOLF CART, I MIGHT HAVE BEEN HAVING MORE FUN THAN THE 12 YEAR OLD. HAVING NEVER DRIVEN A GOLF CART, WELL, HE IS WATCHING, ISN'T HE? THAN THE 12 YEAR OLD. HAVING NEVER DRIVEN A GOLF CART, WELL, HE IS WATCHING, ISN'T HE? YEAH, HE IS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE. THIS IS MORE LIKE KID FUN. YEAH, HE IS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE. THIS IS MORE LIKE KID FUN. YEAH. (CHUCKLES) BO HYAN, OR BO AS SHE'S CALLED BY HER FRIENDS, MOVED TO NZ FOUR YEARS AGO, ALL BECAUSE OF OUR GREAT GOLF COACHES AND OUR RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE GOLF COURSES. HER MOTHER LIVES BACK IN KOREA TO SUPPORT BO AND HER FATHER, WHO HAS GIVEN UP HIS JOB TO FOLLOW BO AROUND AND RAKE UP HER BUNKERS. WITH AN IMPRESSIVE HANDICAP OF JUST ZERO, BO PRACTISES FOR HOURS EVERY DAY. SHE EVEN FINISHES SCHOOL AT MIDDAY JUST SO SHE CAN SPEND MORE TIME ON THE GOLF COURSE. THESE ARE LYDIA KO'S CLUBS, AREN'T THEY? SHE GAVE THEM TO YOU? THAT'S PRETTY COOL. I'M GOING TO BE YOUR CADDY AND CHOOSE YOUR CLUBS. I'M GONNA GO LIKE THIS. YEP. I'M GONNA GO LIKE THIS. YEP. IS THAT THE RIGHT ONE? (CHUCKLES) YES! AND I NEED A PUTTER. IS THAT THE RIGHT ONE? (CHUCKLES) YES! AND I NEED A PUTTER. YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME GOLF? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PUTTER LOOKS LIKE. IT'S THIS ONE. YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME GOLF? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PUTTER LOOKS LIKE. IT'S THIS ONE. THE PUTTER. OK. OH COOL. I'LL CARRY THIS FOR YOU, THEN. (CHUCKLES) GOT ONE BALL IN THE BUNKER, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE. THIS FOR YOU, THEN. (CHUCKLES) GOT ONE BALL IN THE BUNKER, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE. NO. NOT REALLY. YOU KNOW THEY CALL YOU THE NEXT LYDIA KO? NO. NOT REALLY. YOU KNOW THEY CALL YOU THE NEXT LYDIA KO? YES. YOU KNOW THEY CALL YOU PRESSURE, ISN'T IT? YES. YOU KNOW THEY CALL YOU PRESSURE, ISN'T IT? YEAH. MAN: FOR THE WIN, AND SHE'S ALREADY BEEN A BIG WINNER TODAY. HANDLING PRESSURE IS SOMETHING THE REAL LYDIA KO KNOWS A LOT ABOUT. IT IS HER DEFINING ABILITY ` AN ICE-COOL DEMEANOUR ON AND OFF THE GOLF COURSE THAT BELIES HER 17 YEARS. LYDIA'S MENTAL STAMINA SAW HER CLINCH HER THIRD VICTORY OF THE YEAR IN A GRIPPING THREE-WAY PLAY-OFF FOR THE TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP IN FLORIDA, CAPPING OFF A DREAM ROOKIE SEASON. MAN: LYDIA KO PULLS OFF A DOUBLE HERE AT THE CME GROUP TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP, AND IN THE PROCESS BASICALLY DOUBLES HER EARNINGS FOR THE YEAR. SO, I THINK ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS JUST TAKE A REALLY DEEP BREATH. YOU KNOW, THINK ABOUT POSITIVE THINGS. WHEN WE MET UP WITH HER, SHE WAS AT THE TAKAPUNA GOLF CLUB, GIVING UP HER VERY LIMITED TIME BACK IN NZ TO HELP A NEW GENERATION OF KIWI GOLFERS. WHILE THESE KIDS FROM HER OLD SCHOOL, PINEHURST, HAD MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT GOLF,... HOW LONG SINCE YOU STARTED PLAYING GOLF? ...SOME TOO WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE GETTING THAT HUGE $1.9 MILLION PAYCHEQUE. WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO WIN ALL THE MONEY? UM, I MEAN, IT WAS PRETTY AMAZING. UH, YOU KNOW, BUT TO ME, IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAT I WON AT THE END OF THE DAY RATHER THAN, YOU KNOW, THE MONEY. I MEAN, THE MONEY COMES, I GUESS, AFTER, AND YOU KNOW, EVERY PLAYER, WHEN THEY'RE OUT THERE, WE'RE NOT THINKING ABOUT, 'YAY, IF I MAKE THIS PUTT, I'M GONNA GET ANOTHER $1000.' SO IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT MONEY, EVEN THOUGH PROFESSIONAL LIFE IS ABOUT THAT. YOU KNOW, ALL I WAS THINKING WAS, 'YAY, I WON ANOTHER TOURNAMENT, AND IT'S MY THIRD WIN OF THE YEAR.' AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. ONE, TWO, THREE. AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. ONE, TWO, THREE. ALL: GO, PINEHURST! GO, PINEHURST! AND I WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. ONE, TWO, THREE. ALL: GO, PINEHURST! GO, PINEHURST! WHOO! LYDIA'S INCREDIBLE YEAR HAS BEEN HUGELY BENEFICIAL FOR JUNIOR GOLF IN NZ. KIDS OF ALL AGES ARE TAKING UP THE GAME, AND WHILE MOST PARENTS JUST WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE A BIT OF FUN, OTHERS CLEARLY HAVE THEIR EYE ON THE MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR PRIZE AT THE END OF THE GOLFING RAINBOW. SUPER STARDOM AND THE RICHES THAT GO WITH IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING BO HYAN PARK AND HER FAMILY WANT AND ARE PREPARED TO MAKE GREAT SACRIFICES TO ACHIEVE. SHE AND DAD JO HAUN ARE LIVING VERY HUMBLY IN A SMALL APARTMENT NEXT TO THE GOLF COURSE ON THE WHANGAPAROA PENINSULA. THERE IS A MAKESHIFT CHIPPING GREEN SO BO CAN KEEP HITTING BALLS, EVEN WHEN SHE'S HOME. AND SHE'S MADE TO HANG ON THIS CONTRAPTION EVERY MORNING TO IMPROVE HER CORE STRENGTH. CRIKEY. WELL, HOW LONG ARE YOU THERE FOR? HER CORE STRENGTH. CRIKEY. WELL, HOW LONG ARE YOU THERE FOR? WE DO ABOUT FOUR MINUTES. FOUR MINUTES YOU HAVE TO HANG DOWN FOR? WE DO ABOUT FOUR MINUTES. FOUR MINUTES YOU HAVE TO HANG DOWN FOR? YEAH. SO YOU'VE COME ALL THE WAY TO NZ TO LIVE SO THAT BECAUSE IT'S BETTER FOR GOLF FOR HER? WHAT IS YOUR DREAM FOR HER. NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD. WHAT IS YOUR DREAM FOR HER. NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD. NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD. GOOD ON YOU, DAD. (CHUCKLES) IS IT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON HER? YEP. > SHE'S SAYING YES. YEP. > SHE'S SAYING YES. I DON'T THINK SO. YEP. > SHE'S SAYING YES. I DON'T THINK SO. BOTH LAUGH YOU DON'T THINK SO? DO YOU EVER GET SICK OF GOLF? YOU DON'T THINK SO? DO YOU EVER GET SICK OF GOLF? YES, ESPECIALLY WHEN I PRACTISE. YEAH. DO YOU EVER GET SICK OF GOLF? YES, ESPECIALLY WHEN I PRACTISE. YEAH. LIKE, WHEN MY DAD, LIKE, TELLS ME WHAT TO DO. I'M, LIKE... (SIGHS) DID YOU EVER FIGHT WITH HIM ON THE COURSE? YEP, YES. A LOT. A LOT. WHEN I DISAGREE WITH HIM. YEAH? WHEN I DISAGREE WITH HIM. YEAH? YEAH. BUT I SUPPOSE IF YOU WANT TO BE A WORLD CHAMPION, THAT'S WHAT YOU GOT TO DO, DON'T YOU? YOU HAVE TO KEEP WORKING AT IT ALL THE TIME. THAT'S THE KEY. YOU HAVE TO KEEP WORKING AT IT ALL THE TIME. THAT'S THE KEY. YEAH, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. AT IT ALL THE TIME. THAT'S THE KEY. YEAH, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. YEAH. BO PRACTISES SO HARD AND SO LONG A DAY THAT OTHER PARENTS HAVE APPROACHED HER FATHER ON THE COURSE, TELLING HIM TO EASE UP. (CHUCKLES) SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT ONE. I'M PUSHING TOO MUCH. (CHUCKLES) SO MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT ONE. I'M PUSHING TOO MUCH. REALLY? PEOPLE SAY THAT YOU DO? BUT, UH, THAT IS THE CULTURAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NZ AND KOREA. IN OUR COUNTRY, ACCORDING TO OUR CHOSEN... EDUCATION SYSTEM, WE ARE PUSHING THE CHILDREN A LITTLE MORE. < YEAH, YOU PUSH YOUR CHILDREN A LOT MORE IN KOREA THAT WE DO HERE. THAT'S WHAT ASIANS DO. < YEAH, YOU PUSH YOUR CHILDREN A LOT MORE IN KOREA THAT WE DO HERE. THAT'S WHAT ASIANS DO. ASIANS DO. OH, ASIAN PARENTS. YOU SAID IT, NOT ME. THAT'S WHAT ASIANS DO. < (LAUGHS) YOU SAID IT, NOT ME. THAT'S WHAT ASIANS DO. < (LAUGHS) ASIAN PARENTS. WHILE IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT GOLF, THERE IS NO DOUBT BO IS MISSING OUT ON MANY OTHER THINGS LITTLE GIRLS GET TO ENJOY. SHE HAS TO WORK UNTIL LATE INTO THE NIGHT, CATCHING UP ON THE SCHOOLWORK SHE MISSES WHEN SHE'S PLAYING GOLF. (PLAYS BEETHOVEN'S 'FUR ELISE') THEN THERE'S THE PIANO PRACTICE. IT'S A PUNISHING SCHEDULE. A SCHEDULE SO TIGHT THAT HER FATHER REFUSES TO LET HER GO TO ON SCHOOL CAMPS, AND THE BIRTHDAY PARTIES OF HER CLASSMATES, WELL, THAT'S A NO-NO AS WELL. AND THE BIRTHDAY PARTIES OF HER I SENT A LETTER TO THE TEACHER. AS WELL. AND THE BIRTHDAY PARTIES OF HER I SENT A LETTER TO THE TEACHER. OOH, DID YOU? 'PLEASE DON'T SEND HER ANY KIND OF INVITATIONS.' OOH, DID YOU? 'PLEASE DON'T SEND HER ANY KIND OF INVITATIONS.' INVITATIONS? THE REASON IS FOR THE GOLF. OH, I'M FEELING SORRY FOR HER NOW. I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO STEP IN. I HAVE TO STEP IN AT THIS POINT AND SAY SHE'S ONLY A LITTLE GIRL. SHE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES. COME ON, DAD. EH? SHE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES. COME ON, DAD. EH? FOR THE BIRTHDAY, ONE OR TWO-HOUR CELEBRATION, THAT IS OKAY. IF SHE STAY ONE DAY THERE, THE GOLF, THEN SHE FORGOT THE... THE GOLF ROUTINE. WOULD YOU AGREE, THOUGH, THAT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR HER TO HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER CHILDREN? AND THAT IS AS IMPORTANT IN LIFE AS BEING ABLE TO HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE? I KNOW, BUT SHE CAN HAVE RELATIONS AT SCHOOL. IN OTHER WAYS. OH, SO NO BIRTHDAY PARTIES ALLOWED? OH, I THINK YOU'RE A BIT MEAN. I DO. RIGHT NOW, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET TIGER WOODS AND HIS FATHER, EARL WOODS. THE COLD HARSH REALITY IS IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED AT ANY SPORT, YOU HAVE TO START YOUNG, AND YOU HAVE TO BE DEDICATED. ALL CHEER, APPLAUSE I'D BE REALLY REALLY HAPPY COS IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, AND IT'S THE BIGGEST TOURNAMENT IN NZ. BO'S HERO AND PART-TIME MENTOR, LYDIA KO, SAYS SHE TOO MADE MANY SACRIFICES GROWING UP. SHE HAD TO PUT EVERYTHING INTO GOLF TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP. YOU KNOW, GOLF WAS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I REALLY WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, CONTINUE MY EDUCATION. UH, SO THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME TOO. SO, UH, YEAH, YOU KNOW, GOLF WAS THE BIGGEST PRIORITY, BUT AT SAME TIME, I DID WANTED TO CONTINUE, YOU KNOW, STUDYING. SO HOW MANY HOURS DID YOU HAVE TO COMMIT TO IT, A WEEK, GROWING UP? UH, JUST A COUPLE HOURS, YOU KNOW, AFTER SCHOOL, AND THEN, I THINK, DOUBLE THE AMOUNT IN THE WEEKENDS. BUT, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T DO, LIKE, OVERLY A LOT. YOU KNOW, I'M SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT PRACTISE MORE THAN ME. BUT, YOU KNOW, I TRIED TO DO PRACTICE THAT WOULD HELP ME. OK, SO DOWN THROUGH THE BALL. NICE AND FORWARD. GOOD. FOR 12 YEARS, LYDIA WAS COACHED BY GUY WILSON. HE'S NOW BO'S COACH. SO STARTING DOWN THROUGH THE BALL. WEIGHT NICE AND FORWARD. FEEL AS THOUGH YOU'RE COMPRESSING THE BALL. GOOD ONE. THERE WE GO. HE DOESN'T KNOW YET IF SHE'LL BE ANOTHER LYDIA. HE SAYS PLAYERS CAN MAKE HUGE SACRIFICES WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG, AND IT CAN STILL BE FOR NOTHING. SHE'S COOL. SHE'S A GOOD KID. SHE'S FOCUSED. SHE'S, UM, VERY MOTIVATED TO PRACTICE. SHE'S HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH LYDIA BEFORE, SO SHE KNOWS HOW HARD IT IS TO WORK. UM, AND SHE'S VERY SKILLED. UM, WHETHER OR NOT THAT CONVERTS TO ANYTHING, WHO KNOWS? BO HERSELF CALLS HER DAD ASIAN DAD, TIGER DAD. DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? YEAH, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, I FEEL, BETWEEN, I GUESS, THE MENTALITY OF A KIWI KID AND AN ASIAN KID. UM, THE KIWI KIDS ARE JUST... THEY GIVE SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES. DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. PARENTS SORT OF, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL HELP THEM OUT WHEREVER, WHENEVER. UM, WHEREAS I THINK THE ASIANS TEND TO CHOOSE ONE SPORT, ONE THING, AND JUST DO IT REALLY REALLY WELL, UM, OR TRY TO DO IT REALLY REALLY WELL. SO THAT'S WHERE I FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN US KIWI KIDS AND THE ASIAN KIDS IN THE COMMUNITY. IS IT HARD ON THESE KIDS? TRYING TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WORK SO HARD FOR SO LONG? DEFINITELY. UM, YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T HAVE MANY OTHER CHOICES. THIS IS IT. SO IT'S UP TO, YOU KNOW, HER DAD, THE COACH, UM, EVERYWHERE TO MAKE IT AS FUN AS POSSIBLE. TO MAKE THEM FEEL LIKE THEY ARE NOT MISSING OUT ON ALL THESE OTHER COOL THINGS THAT KIDS OF THEIR AGE DO. PUT YOUR HAND IF, APPARENTLY, YOU'RE ALREADY AMAZING. YEAH! THE CHALLENGE FOR GUY WILSON AND NZ GOLF IS AVOIDING LOSING A BO HYAN PARK IF SHE DOES BECOMES A STAR. THE HOPE IS FOR NZ TO BECOME A WORLD-LEADING INCUBATOR FOR YOUNG GOLFERS WHO WILL THEN STICK WITH THEIR NZ COACHES IF THEY TURN PRO. TAKE THE BALL OUT OF THE HOLE. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HIT THE BALL INTO THE HOLE, NOT OUT OF THE HOLE. THEY DON'T WANT A REPEAT OF LYDIA KO, WHO DROPPED GUY WILSON TO SIGN WITH THE GLOBAL SPORTS GIANT IMG AT THE END OF 2013. VERY VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS LIKE LOSING A SISTER OR A DAUGHTER BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, MOST OF MY LIFE, I WAS WITH A PLAYER. BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THERE TO DO. A COACH IS THERE TO HELP A PLAYER SO FAR SO THEY DON'T ACTUALLY NEED YOU ANY MORE, AND THAT'S WHAT A COACH DOES. IS THAT DIFFICULT? YOU COACHED HER TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, AND THEN SHE GOES OFF AND MAKES ALL THIS MONEY AND YOU MISS OUT? YES. YES, I GUESS, AND YOU KNOW, HEY, IN THE FUTURE, WHO KNOWS WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN. UM, UH, SO IT'S, AGAIN, I'M NOT, UM... I'M ONLY THERE TO CREATE THE RELATIONSHIP TO START OFF WITH AND REALLY ENCOURAGE A PLAYER TO SUCCEED, AND THAT'S WHAT THE COACH'S JOB IS. AND REALLY ENCOURAGE A PLAYER TO IS GUY A GOOD COACH? JOB IS. AND REALLY ENCOURAGE A PLAYER TO IS GUY A GOOD COACH? YEAH. HE'S A BIT AVERAGE, I RECKON, DARLING. HE'S A BIT AVERAGE. I THINK THAT I'M A BIT BETTER. WHEN YOU GO ON THE TOUR, I CAN CARRY YOUR CLUBS FOR YOU. CLEARLY, THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE THAT'S AVERAGE IS ME, AND EVEN THAT IS BEING A BIT KIND. I'M NEVER GOING TO BE AS GOOD AS BO OR EVEN A 2-YEAR-OLD TIGER WOODS. BUT I CAN'T HELP WHAT BUT WONDER WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE FOR A CHILD GIVING UP SO MUCH FOR THEIR SPORT. WILL SHE EVER GET TO BE A NORMAL TEENAGER? IS SHE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DATE? A NORMAL TEENAGER? IS SHE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DATE? (CHUCKLES) WHAT? IS SHE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO DATE? (CHUCKLES) WHAT? I-I CANNOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ONE. (CHUCKLES) PERHAPS IF SHE REALLY DOES TURN INTO THE NEXT LYDIA KO, THEN BO WON'T MIND THE SACRIFICES SHE'S MADE, AND IT WILL HAVE ALL BEEN WORTH IT IN THE END. I'LL SEE YOU... I'LL SEE YOU ON THE ROAD. ON THE PGA TOUR. WHOO-HOO! LPGA. ROAD. ON THE PGA TOUR. WHOO-HOO! LPGA. OH, NOT ON THE PGA? LPGA. OH, NOT ON THE PGA? NO. OH, OF COURSE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE GOLF TERMINOLOGY. WHAT'S IT CALLED? NO. OH, OF COURSE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW THE GOLF TERMINOLOGY. WHAT'S IT CALLED? LPGA. OK, LPGA. THE TOURNAMENT, UM, IT'S, LIKE, LADIES. OK, LPGA. THE TOURNAMENT, UM, IT'S, LIKE, LADIES. OH, LADIES? OK. I WAS JUST HEADING OFF WITH TIGER WOODS, BUT I'LL STICK WITH YOU ON THE LPGA. (LAUGHS) SEE YA. SEE YA IN A FEW YEARS. YEAH, I MEAN, SHE'S OBVIOUSLY HARDWORKING, TALENTED AND GREAT FUN AS WELL. LOVELY FUN GIRL AS WELL. SO GOOD LUCK TO HER. YEAH, SHE'S A COOL KID, AND GET THIS ` HER ZERO HANDICAP MEANS SHE IS IN THE TOP 1% OR 2% OF ALL WOMEN GOLFERS IN NZ OF ANY AGE. YEAH, I THINK THAT SARAH HALL WAS IN THE OTHER 98%? SHE IS IN THE TOP 1% OR 2% OF ALL WOMEN GOLFERS IN NZ OF ANY AGE. YEAH, I THINK THAT SARAH HALL WAS IN THE OTHER 98%? (CHUCKLES) BOTTOM 2%. SHE IS IN THE TOP 1% OR 2% OF ALL WOMEN GOLFERS IN NZ OF ANY AGE. OH, YOU NASTY THING. OK, THAT'S ALL FROM US AT 3RD DEGREE FOR THIS WEEK. YOU'RE NOT BACK NEXT WEDNESDAY. WE'LL CATCH YOU THEN.
