Above Suspicion (2009–2012): Season 4, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

After the body of Felicity Turner,another of Amanda's old flatmates, is dragged from the river,the remaining college contemporary Jeanie Bale is brought in. She admits to having Amanda's diary,which she was planning to sell to Mr Delany for five thousand pounds after an unsuccessful attempt to blackmail Andrea Lesser. The diary also reveals that Lester James,the youngest of the three brothers who acted as Amanda's drivers,was also her lover and pusher,and the man Helena saw at the flat. Jeanie admits that Felicity accidentally fell into the river after a fight when Felicity refused to capitalise on the diary but she pleads not guilty to Amanda's murder. As CCTV evidence unmasks the killer and Langton finds out who betrayed him Anna gets a call from the District Commissioner regarding her fast track promotion.

You want big money,
then give me the goods.

You want me to name names? You're
going to get them, a shed load.

What if he comes back for it?

Well, I've got enough on him
to make him shit himself.

Did you care about your daughter,
Mr Delany?

If her personal life
was such a disappointment to you.

I'm sorry,
you didn't make commander.

What kept coming up was
that botched investigation
into that Fitzpatrick character.

Better not lose this -
Travis's accelerated-promotion form.

Deputy Commissioner Walters is
overseeing the panel.

There's something about those
brothers. They've both got alibis.



Lester? I don't know where you are,
mate, but you're going to have to
get in touch with us.

FELICITY: I know all about you!
And your brother! Piss off!

I'm sorry
I suspected you.

Especially you.

Get me some of that other gear.
I've got night shoots for a week.

So we have a driver and a dealer,
neither of whom can be identified.

Do you think it might be
the same person?

The dating club arranges it all.
The dates sit at your table.

You get a five-minute conversation
with each of them.

At the end of the evening, you get
to choose one, or none, for a date.

What can you tell about a person
in five minutes?

Oh, a lot. Clock their shoes,
how they dress.

Fingernails, clean or bitten.
Own teeth.

Get your questions ready
while you do a good once-over.



Wha...what questions?

I'm a bit nervous, Paul.
I've never seen a dead body.

You'll be fine, Barbara.
Just keep talking.

What questions?
Do they have a job? What is it?

Have they been married,
divorced, widowed?

Do the blokes get in for free?

They've got to be a member,
as well. It works both ways.

Just wait a second. (EXHALES)

You'll be fine, Barbara.
Just take a deep breath. Come on.

Right, shall we take a look, then,
Barbara?

Yeah, that's her.
That's Felicity Turner.

(PHONE RINGS)

It was Felicity Turner
who was fished out of the river.

Paul's just phoned.

Mr and Mrs Delany are in reception.
They're asking for you, Anna.

Really?

OK. Can you show them
into the interview room, please?

Joan, is anyone searching the
basement flat? Mike's there now.

Can you get him to bring in Jeannie
Bale right away? Yeah. Thanks.

Apparently, Barbara - of the many
Met courses - threw up.

I feel that I should apologise
to you.

My behaviour has been unacceptable.

My excuse is...

My excuse is that both my wife
and I have found it hard

to deal with Amanda's death.

Just tell her. Tell her.
I want to go home.

Why don't you tell us? So far
you've been less than helpful
with this investigation.

I did it to protect my wife!
And the girl was threatening
to sell it. She wanted ?5,000.

Which girl?
Jeannie Bale.

She had Amanda's diary.
She wanted money.

She approached me at the funeral
and threatened to take it
to the newspapers.

Do you have Amanda's diary?
It may contain very important
information about the killer.

I don't have it.

And I don't have the ?5,000
I paid for it.

Travis, can you put out an
all-ports call to have Jeannie Bale
brought in here right away?

If we've got a killer
that's knocking off the kids
from the flat, she'll be next.

Barbara.
Yes?

Contact Josh Lyons
at the publishing company.

See if anyone's approached him,
trying to sell off Amanda's diary.

We've got Andrea Lesser's
finance details, bank statements.

There were big payouts
from her personal account
to a company in Cyprus.

Coincide with
the victim's purchase of the mews.

All right, print them out.

Paul! Fill me in.

There's lots of foam
in and around the mouth.

It looks like she drowned.

There's fluid in the lungs.
They're testing for drugs and booze.

What's this?

A large welt of a bruise
on her lower back.

Witness report. A bloke
walking his dog saw the victim.

With a blonde girl,
hanging about the boat yard.

So she could have fallen
over the railings.

Or could've been pushed.
They don't know which.

She was wearing a jacket
with Amanda Delany's name inside.

There was a programme
from the funeral

in her pocket.

Which is why the local cops
brought it to us.

Can I just
straighten something out, Guv?

Er... I-I know you've been talking
to Mike about this,

and I just wanted it to be clear
that...you know...

the Fitzpatrick situation -
I didn't discuss it with anyone.

Thanks, Paul.

Paul?
Hm?

Did they find any money on her?
No. Er...no, no, no.

No shoulder bag either.

Chances are she's walking around
with five grand and the diary.

She could be anywhere!
No, she's not.

Store detective ran her name.
Didn't you put the call out? Yeah.

He's holding her.
What?!

Jeannie Bale has just been
picked up for shoplifting
in Top Shop on Putney High Street.

Right, let's go.

I was gonna pay for it,
and then this cow frogmarched me
into the back room!

She did a strip search on me!
This isn't about shoplifting.

Give me your bag, Jeannie.
Give it to me!

Oh, shit, is it about Mr Delany?
It's him, isn't it?

It's about this.
Get in the car.

Don't push me in!
Get in!

Get off me!

Put your seat belt on.
No, I will not put my seat belt on!

Don't! Get off me! I'll make
a complaint. You can do that.

Look, I admit,
what I did to Mr Delany

was a bit of a con, all right?

You don't know about him, do you?

No. Well, let me tell you, he's
a bit of a stuck-up little prick!

Oh! Excuse my language!

And that wife of his,
Amanda's so-called mother,
she's out to lunch.

She let her father,
the grandfather,

rape her daughter
when she was 11 years old.

Do you know what she said to her?
"He did it to me. You get over it."

Fucking grandfather!
Just be quiet.

You don't understand
the seriousness of your situation.

No, no.

They won't press charges, because
they know I will tell everyone.

I will tell everyone
what happened to Amanda!

And you know
why they won't do anything, huh?

Grandaddy was filthy rich, and
Mr Pruneface Delany never worked.

They live in his villa.
They've got his money.

What do they care about five grand?

Your flatmate, Felicity Turner,
was found dead this morning.

So, until you get representation,
I'd shut up if I were you.

What, Felicity? No.

(GASPS) Oh, my God.

(EXHALES) No!

We didn't find anything
at the flat.

We've got the diary.
Jeannie had it. I know.

She's refusing
legal representation.

I think she reckons
she has to pay for it!

You know Langton wants you in
on the interview? Yeah.

Everything all right between you?
Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

Cos I should be in there with him.

Maybe he thinks it was me
that grassed him up. No, Mike.

We picked her up together.
I'm sure he doesn't think that.

It couldn't have been Barbara.
She wasn't on the inquiry.

Has he talked to you, Joan?
What about?

Guv thinks one of us
talked to the Deputy Commissioner
about the Fitzpatrick case.

He didn't get his promotion. He is
gunning for whoever stitched him up!

I'd better get these down
to property lockup.

Right, let's start with the diary.

Never mind trying to sell it
to Mr Delany.

Where did you get it from?
Felicity found it at the flat.

How long have you had it for?
Couple of weeks.

OK, so, cool!
So what happened was...

Amanda was really upset
about her agent.

She told Dan that she knew
Scott Myers had been paid

for his part in The Mansion,
but she hadn't.

So... Ha! It was very funny.

What Dan did was call
Andrea Lesser, didn't he?

Can you please tell Miss Lesser
that it's rather urgent?

No, no, I don't want to do that.

This is a personal matter
between Miss Lesser

and her client, Amanda Delany.

(She kept asking who I was.)
Oh!

No, no, don't, no.
Dan!

It's my phone! She'll know it's me!
No... Ah! Miss Lesser!

I am a close associate
of Miss Amanda Delany's.

I've noticed some irregularities
in her recent accounts.

A rather large sum of money
that was due has not...

Hello? HELLO?

You fat-arsed bitch!

She fucking hung up on me!
I told you.

Dan thought it was a lot of money,
cos he would sometimes
do the accounts for her.

Erm... She called a couple of
other actors, I think.

Lesser was nicking money,
and I'm talking thousands.

You see, Amanda was dyslexic.

Do you know who her dealer was?
Oh, I've got no idea!

She'd turn up with her ecstasy,
her grass, her crack and her coke.

I never touched that gear.

Dan and Felicity, no,
couldn't leave it alone!

What about her drivers?

I didn't meet them.
She's a film star, right?

She's got chauffeurs.
I haven't even got a car.

You know about me, do you?
Yeah, Rock Baby.

Yeah, my agent thought
I had that in the bag.

They loved me.
I'd done eight auditions.

Amanda was just kipping at ours
cos she didn't have a flat.

I mean, she didn't even have
an agent.

And then suddenly I'm told,
"Oh. Oh! The film's been cast."

Mmmmm! Everything she had,
it could have been mine.

I was this close. Have you got
any idea what that feels like?

He's questioning every one of us.

I never would have said anything
to anybody that could have it in
for the boss. But I did tell you.

And if you repeated that -
Repeated what, for heaven's sake?

Travis overlooked some evidence,
and Fitzpatrick walked into
the station as an FBI agent.

I told you that, Barbara.
I'm off the hook.

I wasn't on the investigation.
But I told you about it.

Did you repeat it to anyone?
I don't remember.

I was doing all those extra courses.

Oh, well, it was never my idea. No.

Erm... I said that if he'd give us
the money, I'd hand over the diary.

But I didn't let him have it,
though. Whoops!

Anyway, Felicity was out of it
at the funeral.

When she was stroppy,
she was hard to handle.

So I suggested that we walk it off.

Erm...and we went along the river,
but she was really starting
to irritate me.

Enough to push her
over the railings?

No, I left her there.
I got the tube and I went home.

I expected her back. But when
she's high, she stays out nights.

So she just let you walk off
with all that money?

Would you give a junkie five grand?
Hm?

We agreed to split the money
between us.

?2,500 each.

You can go.
I can go?

On police bail.
Oh!

Can you book a taxi for me?

And if I'm not being charged,
can I get the five grand...back?

Show her out.

Sit down.

(FOOTSTEPS)

That was a bit of a fast turnaround.

Well, the Delanys don't want
to press charges.

And we don't have witnesses
that saw her pushed into the river.
And she was drunk and on heroin.

And... (SIGHS)

I've told Joan I want copies
of the diary made for everyone
first thing in the morning.

Tech support only just sent up
the master copy. It'll take her ages.

That's why she's working late.
I'm going to wait.

Go home, Anna.
No, I want to take some of it back.

Good night!

Oh, for God's sake, Joan!
What's going on?

(SOBS)

What is it?
What, do you need some help?

No, no. I can manage.
It's...it's not about this.

It's about your promotion.

I'm so sorry. I...

It's all right. It's all right.
Don't get yourself into a state.

Come on.
Come on, let's go in my office.

(SOBS QUIETLY)

Please.

We have accessed
your personal accounts.

You had no right to - We have
every right. It's a murder inquiry.

They show large sums of money
paid in and taken out

over a period of months, shortly
before Miss Delany was murdered.

Did Amanda know
that you were defrauding her?

I had intended to tell Amanda,
but then -

But then she was murdered.
So you've given us a motive.

What happened?

Were you
in such a desperate situation

that you had no option
but to get rid of her?

Did you hire someone
to kill Amanda?

That is not true!

I know it was foolish,

but I honestly believed
I could repay Amanda.

I had nurtured and cared for her.

It had taken so much...

I had problems
getting her past medical tests,

and her behaviour was getting
out of control.

It was like she was determined
to destroy all the hard work
I put into forging her career.

But...I never would have done
anything to harm her.

She was too capable
of doing that to herself.

OK, this is interesting.
Listen up!

It could just be her writing,
but she refers to a driver...

Lionel, Lenny, not sure.
Pick-up for a premiere.

And she refers to "L" being early
on another page.

I've got a mobile number
for a Lester. I've seen his name
a few times.

It says here: "Collected me,"
being Amanda, "from hospital
and drove me to the clinic."

That, if I'm right,
is the abortion date.

(SIGHS) She didn't even know
who the father was.

Answer phone.
Lester James. Not available.

Got him.
Lester John James, aged 29.

5ft 11, blond hair.

Two previous arrests for assault...
and one for drug dealing.

We've got a new suspect.
Lester James. He's a driver.

Here's the surprise.

His brothers are
Tony and Harry James.

And he's got form.
Have you traced him?

Not yet. We're going to his flat.
His brothers have the keys. Good.

Joan, where's the Guv?

Still interviewing Andrea Lesser,
with Barolli.

What about Mike? Just left, to check
on a possible lead from the diary.

Why?

I've got one too. Jeannie.

She was at Amanda's house,
the night she was killed. She lied.

(PHONE)
Sorry.

Sorry. Joan.

Hello. Yes.

He's not answering his mobile.
I've left him three messages.

I don't know where
the soft bugger is.

He couldn't have hurt her,
could he?

Well, I hope not, bruv.

I mean, I found
the poor little thing.

I mean,
I know that he was soft on her.

I mean, how many times
did I warn him?

It seems like I've spent
my whole life looking out for him.

It was right, you bringing him
into the company.

Maybe he's got nothing to do
with all this.

But you can't keep making excuses
for him, Harry.

It's time he answered for himself.

We've both got some answering to do,
ain't we, bruv?

I mean, we've both lied.

I knew there was something iffy
when I found his motor in the lockup.

I've got her keys in my pocket.

Hey, look, they're here.

You should have told us
about your brother, Mr James.

Look, this has all been
a big misunderstanding.

There's no way my brother Lester
would've done a thing like this.

He's a good kid. He's been
in a bit of trouble before,

but that's lairy drunks picking
a fight cos they know who he was.

Last assault charge against him
was dropped!

You wait here.
We don't need both of you inside.

He likes his karate, doesn't he?

Barbara!

Take a look at this.

He's seventh dan, black belt.

He does a bit of exhibition work.

I mean,
what does that prove anything?

We need to take this in.
Let's go, Mr James.

(LITTER RUSTLES OUTSIDE)

Joan, it's me.
I need backup immediately.
I'm at the basement flat.

I found Felicity's bag
and Amanda's phone.

(MOANS)

(SIGHS)

Come with me! Travis has called
for backup from Jeannie Bale's.

There's only thing
we've not told you the truth about.

And that's because
we both believe...

Lester couldn't have had anything
to do with this murder.

So what did you lie about?

Just...the last time we saw him.

It was the day before. Wasn't it?

She was upset
about some nightmare she'd had.

We knew
he shouldn't have been there.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

Oi, Lester! Wait up!

What are you doing here?
Nothing.

Amanda had a little job for me.

How many times have me and Tony
told you about this?

You've gotta stop this, bruv.

It's not company work.
And get yourself invoices.

She's not paying your wages.

You gotta sort yourself out,
stop being a mug.

I ain't being a mug, but...

All right.

Your brother has a file of arrests.
Assault, drug dealing.

No way. That charge was dropped
to possession.

Yeah, but he's still dealing.
We know Amanda scored drugs for her
friends. Lester was her supplier.

He wouldn't do that.
He valued his job too much.

We have a man
fitting your brother's description

in the mews, dealing drugs,
the night of Amanda's murder.

I don't believe that.

I don't give a fuck
whether you believe it or not!

Your brother is now
the prime suspect in the murder
of Amanda Delany.

Any more lies, right,
any more forgotten shit,

you'll both be charged with
perverting the course of justice.

He worshipped
the ground she walked on,

and she was
a promiscuous little slut.

Here.

Tony...

Look at that.

(TEXT ALERT)
Eh?

This is what was done to her.

Well?

(KEYS JANGLE)

Amanda's keys.

What -
Guv. Not now!

It's Travis. It's serious.

Get back in!
St George's hospital - now!

Get the blues on!

(SIREN)

BARBARA: Is that her?

She's there. There she is.

Wait here, Barbara!

Excuse me.

(TRAIN DEPARTS)

Jeannie!

Stop running! Jeannie!

Jeannie Bale, stop running!

Wait there! Wait there!
MAN: Hey!

Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

Barbara!
Shit!

Argh!

(SCREAMS)

Get off me! Get off me! Get off me!

We've got Lester James
in the reception.

Who brought him in?
He came in himself.

He just walked into the station?
Well, keep a hold of him.

Wait here for me.

She's fine.
She bloody discharged herself!

I've just been to the hospital.

Why the hell
did you discharge yourself?

Did you get Jeannie?

Yes, we did. Are you
on pain killers? Do you need water?

She must have been at Amanda's
the night she was killed.
The diary was written up to date.

Do you want me to send out
for some groceries?

I mean, have you got any food here?
No, I'm fine.

It looks worse than it is, honest.

Look at me. Look at me.

You're not to move from here.

Do you hear me? You stay put.

Do you want some soup?
Have you got any soup?

Have you got anybody
to look after you?

I'm not hungry. I've got strong
pain killers, if I need them.

You nearly gave me
bloody heart failure.

You could've got yourself killed.

Do you want me to get Joan
to come over? (SIGHS)

You shouldn't have bothered coming.
Just...go back to the station.

Ooh, shouldn't have bothered
coming...

I came because I care.

You idiot!

I'll see myself out.

You said the diary was written
up to date? Yeah.

I'll call you.

Stay put.

(GASPS)

How come you had
Amanda Delany's house keys?

The night before it happened,
she heard a woman screaming.

She wanted me to check the mews.
But my brother told me to stop
being a mug. So...I never went.

OK. So let's go to you supplying
Miss Delany with drugs.

Cocaine, crack cocaine,
amphetamine, speed, ecstasy.

Yeah, I knew she took drugs,
but not from me.

Look, I don't understand
where this is going.

I came in here of my own free will

cos I was told
you wanted to talk to me.

We have a witness who saw you
supplying Miss Delany with gear.

Huh!

Just sit down for a minute.
Do you want a coffee or something?

400? That's more than last time.
Get me some of that other gear.

I've got night shoots for a week.
I can't sleep.

I was always just her driver.

Just a driver who takes
regular trips to Amsterdam?

Yeah. I go for karate shows
and stuff like that, not drugs.

Yeah, I'm glad you brought up
the karate.

We found a poster of you
holding a weapon.

Mr James has explained that he
performs self-defence exhibitions.

That knife was...
for a specific event.

Where is it now?

That was over a year ago.

It wasn't even mine.

Jeannie Bale locked up?
Yeah. She's not going anywhere.

You're still holding Lester James?
Yeah.

Right, get me the last pages
of the diary.

BAROLLI: You should've waited
at the top. I'm sorry.

So you should be! It's just not on.
I could've given myself a hernia!

How is she?
She's going to be OK.

Get on to a florist,
send her some flowers.

Listen up, everybody!

Travis says that Amanda
was writing up her diary

until the night of her murder.

Which means Jeannie Bale lied
about how long she'd had it.

She must have got it that night.
So...

..how come none of you
picked up on this?

Eh?

Joan?

I was concentrating on a section
about a tattoo. First mention I had
of Lester James. Tattoo?

She wrote that "his tattoo doesn't
even rezemble me", spelt with a Z.

Right, who's dealing
with Amanda's phone? Me.

Paul.

I've told Langton, Barbara.
I'm not taking the blame.

I got a bit confused
as to where I should wait.

Not about that. You gossiping
about the Fitzpatrick case.

(WHISPERING) Oh, my God!
He'll have me directing traffic!

Mood he's in,
I wouldn't be surprised!

What have you got?

OK, this is the footage
from the phone.

AMANDA: Sean! Sean, give it to me!

We know this, Paul.
You're wasting your time.

Let me fast-forward.

What the hell are you doing here?

I've got it. This is the night.
(CLICKS)

It's to stop you being so angry,
because you know I love you really.

Don't look at me like that.

What on earth were you thinking?

A tattoo? It doesn't even
look like me, you idiot!

Stupid dumb fucker.

(GIGGLES)

What, do you want to screw me?

You know my bunny loves you.

(GASPS) What are you doing?

(THUMP)
(MOANS)

Right, get Jeannie Bale up here
first.

Make sure she has a solicitor.

I want you with me, Mike.

All right, Miss Bale,
start telling us the truth.

How did your friend end up
in the river?

FELICITY: I've got the money
and I've got her mobile.

I've got the diary.
Good, so we've pulled a fast one.

Give me a drink.

Right, we split the cash in two,

and we hold onto the diary until...

the press and the crap
has died down.

Then we go to the publishers
and make a deal.

You should've given her father
the diary, Jeannie.

Listen to me. I deserve
every penny I can get out of this.

Everything she had
should've been mine.

Every film, every part
should have been mine.

It's in the fucking diary,
what she did to me.

How did you get it?
I told you. Lester gave it to me.

No, I don't mean that.

Fuck, I think you're crazy,
carrying it around,

cos, what, she loved it more than
anything else. Is that why?

And you'd have never got the part
in Rock Baby anyway.

I've had to listen to you
banging on about it!

The truth was
you was never even in the running.

It's my turn now, Jeannie.

You keep the diary,
and you sell it to the publishers.
I'm not splitting the five grand.

Give me the bag.

Give it!
No, I won't.

Look, I'll go to the police. I'll
tell them about you and Lester.

I'll tell them!
Give it, give it!

Give it to me!

Argh!

It was an accident.

And I couldn't...
do anything about it, because...

she disappeared so fast,
and I...I can't swim!

Tell us about the diary.
(SNIFFS)

Amanda left it in the flat,
after she had that meeting
with the publisher bloke.

She even made me and Dan leave her,
for privacy.

And...Felicity was meant to
come with us, but she passed out.

And she overheard him talking
about how much money it was worth.

So...Felicity and I read it,
but not all of it,

because the next day
Amanda sent her driver to get it.

Give it up, Jeannie. I mean it!

Listen, if you've got it,
then, please, just give it to me.

She's really upset, and I don't want
to have to get aggressive with ya.

Here! I've got it.

Just leave us alone.

You are such an arsehole.

You know what, Lester?
You'll be an even bigger arsehole.

If she publishes that,
you feature in it.

She's written so much shit about
you, you'll puke if you read it!

Nah, I don't believe ya.

She wouldn't do that.
She's telling the truth, Lester.

She jokes about your dick
all the way through.

And...she says you can't get it up.

Look at his face.
You haven't read that, have you?

He took it back to her.
That's the truth.

It isn't the whole truth, though,
is it?

It was in your bag when we picked
you up, so you must have stolen it
back again. When did you do that?

On the night Amanda died...

..Lester came round
with some drugs for Dan,

but he was out with Felicity.

He still didn't believe
what Amanda had written.
Oh, God, he's such an idiot!

I mean, I even knew
about the dumbo's tattoo!

Anyway, to prove what I was telling
him, we went to hers.

Cos she'd been freaking
about hearing some woman screaming.

And that's it. I nicked the diary.

He panicked, because we could hear
her car driving up. Cos she's not
meant to be there, right?

So I scarpered over the roof.
If she knew I was there,
she would've gone ape shit.

What else did you take?

(SNIGGERS) Oh, what,
you mean the bunny rabbit?

I just did that
out of perverseness.

I threw it in the river.
I didn't even want it.

What about this?
Yeah, I took that.

Couldn't use it. Didn't know the
password. I was looking for that.

We managed to unlock it,
and guess what?

You were caught on video, Jeannie.

You were there.

You killed her, didn't you?

Well, she took everything from me.

Whatever part she had,
it should have been mine.

All that money,
it should have been mine.

She stole my chance.

I would have been a star...

..but for her.

But I didn't kill her.

I didn't do that. I didn't do THAT!

I want my lawyer! I'm not staying
in the scuzzy little cell you've
got for me, cos I know my rights!

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault that I'm being
treated like an animal!

(PHONE RINGS IN BACKGROUND)

Langton doesn't think you should
take the Lester James interview.

Well, I think differently.

Oh, give me a break, Mike.
Do you see what she did to me?

You should go home.

Please.

I'll get into so much shit for going
to that basement flat by myself.

I mean, I did tell you
to get a search warrant earlier.

Oh! You are something else, Anna!

Please, Mike.

I'll go and sort out the charges
against Jeannie Bale.

Where's Mike?

He's been held up with Jeannie's
solicitor, sorting out the charges.

Right, let's get down to this.

What did you do,
after you did this to her?

I don't know what you're talking
about. I was just her driver.

Let me read this to you.

This is from Amanda Delany's diary.

(READS) "LJ drove me
to the clinic. It was done.

I felt really sick, but he was
terrific and carried me back
to the car and drove me home."

Was it your child?
No.

I'm just a driver.

Oh, come on, Lester!
You were more than that.

She used you. Do this, do that.

Occasional blow job.

You had the keys to her house.

Huh? You looked out for her,
in case she was frightened.

She heard some woman scream.

But you made her scream,
didn't you?

No.

It's not the way you think.

I just wanted to get out.

I was trapped, with Jeannie in the
bedroom and this woman downstairs.

Then I went back up,
to get Jeannie out.

That's when she showed me
the diary.

You're also a bit of a -
Please, I'm begging you! Shh!

Don't shush me!
Please -

DON'T SHUSH ME!

Get off me! Get off me!

Get OFF me!

(WHISPERS) Get in the bathroom!
Ow! Ow!

I couldn't understand why she'd
written those things about me.

The knife, Lester,
did you take it with you?

Take off your shirt, please.
That's enough. My client -

No, it isn't.

Turn around.

Put your shirt back on.

Tell us what happened.

First time I ever saw her naked
was that night.

I took off her clothes...

and I put on her shift nightdress.

It was...the first time
I'd ever held her body.

She was like a fragile doll.

So thin.

(VOICE SHAKING) Her ribs stuck out,
her hip bones...

Her legs were like
a skinny child's.

(GASPS)

The...er...

The first stab wound killed her.

There was hardly any blood.

I was just...so angry.

I kept on doing it,
even though I knew she was dead.

Tattoo of Amanda on his back!
He'd only see it if he looked
backwards in a mirror! (LAUGHTER)

Barbara, I've got another course
for you to go on. DVI course.

Oh! DVI? What's that?

Disaster victim identification.

Lots of mortuary work
for you to get your teeth into.

Oh, Travis gone on home, then?
Yeah, yeah.

Pain killers were wearing off.

Guv, she's giving me a hard time
about not getting a search warrant
sooner for Jeannie Bale's flat.

I just want to say it was
an oversight, it was down to me.

Yeah, well, you want to be careful
about oversights, Mike,

cos they can come back
to haunt you.

Night, everyone.
ALL: Good night.

Have a good evening!
Thanks, Guv.

(LIQUID POURED, FIZZING)

No, not for me.

Right.

Not with pain killers.

By the way,

I found out who was responsible

for the...Fitzpatrick case.

(TEXT MESSAGE)
Chinese whispers.

Joan mentioned it to Barbara,
who was doing a variety of courses,

who mentioned it to someone else,
and that someone else
told somebody, and...etc, etc.

Christ! He's fast off the mark.

Deputy Commissioner Walters
wants a press release ASAP.

You know, if...Mike had done
what I had asked him from the start

and got a warrant
for that basement flat,

we'd have got a result a lot sooner
and -

Don't, Anna. Leave it.

He was the DCI!
Oh, I know that.

And, by rights, he should have
been in on the interrogation
of Lester James, not you.

I'm surprised
that he let you take his seat.

You shouldn't have been
in that interview room, Anna.

You weren't fit,
and I told you to stay at home.

Now, I wasn't going to discuss this
tonight, but...

..about your promotion...

Yeah. I'm about to take some time off
and prepare for it.

That might be a waste of time. I'm
not prepared to sign your papers.

What?
I don't think you're ready.

It's a big jump
to get promoted to DCI.

Well, for your information, sir,

I don't need your signature.

It's already been rubber-stamped
by Commander Power.

(LAUGHS)

Well, really...

Commander Power is obviously racing
up that accelerated escalator,

and I wouldn't be surprised at all
to see him running into

the Olympic Stadium
with a flaming torch!

Just one more thing.

There's a TEAM of officers, Anna.
I kno-

You still haven't learnt
to be part of them.

Until you do,
I think it would be wise

if you were to back off from
this accelerated-promotion lark.

This is just coming from a man who
has many more years of experience

than both Sam Power and you
put together.

Well, I suppose
you'll be up for Commander now?

Ah... Maybe.

Don't take all this personally,
Anna.

How do you expect me to take it?

I work day and night
and every single bloody weekend.

I do take it personally.
I mean, it's all I've got.

Look...

Jeannie Bale was crazy enough
to try to kill you.

Now, I understand,
you sussed out about the diary,

but YOU couldn't resist

going there on your own -
It wasn't like that!

There wasn't anybody available.

I was calling for backup while she
hit me! No, the point is...

..you could've been killed.
All right.

All right.

Maybe you're right. I don't want you
to be, but...maybe you are.

I'm not ready.

But I need to know -
if I don't go up for it this time,

will it affect my chances
in the future?

(CHUCKLES)

I'll do my best to make sure
it doesn't affect you.

The things you think are precious
when you're young...

aren't when you're older.

Now, what is important...

Get yourself a life
outside of the Met.

Otherwise, it will eat you up.

And...always know
when it's time to go home,

before you say something or do
something that you might regret.

Good night.

(SIGHS)
(DOOR CLOSES)

(PHONE)

Hello.
Good evening, Travis.

Oh, Deputy Commissioner!
I heard you were injured.

No, I got a little bit of a pasting,
but it was nothing serious.

Although we had the diary,

I realised it had to have been
in the victim's possession

the night she was murdered.

Was this evidence overlooked?
A repeat of the Fitzpatrick
situation?

Oh, no.

There can't be any comparison
with the Fitzpatrick case, sir.

Erm... I feel that maybe
I shouldn't have spoken to you

about my reservations
with that case.

I'd already been told
by another officer.

Yes, I know, but it was
an off-the-record discussion, sir,

and I...

Look, I would hate for it to have
any effect on Chief Superintendent
Langton's promotion.

I have the utmost respect for him,
and in many ways I was to blame.

I'm sure it won't.
You've done very well.

Now get some rest.

Thank you. Good night.
