Band of Gold (1995–1997): Season 1, Episode 3 - Damaged - full transcript

Carol begins to crack under pressure when she is confronted by Gina's husband, Steve. Anita faces backlash for her actions. Another hustler is murdered.

What'll happen to her kids?

What'll I do with her bag?

Forget the bleedin' bag!

You've got her mixed
up with someone else.

I don't know what
you're on about!

Gina Dixon. You
were working with her.

The only way to sort this
out is if we all stick together.

It has nothin' to do with
me. It was a friend's.

Has anything happened to you
while you've been with me? Well, then.

Yes, sir, can I help you?

We'll reckon like we don't know!



Ask if we can see the
case and watch her wriggle.

No, you hold her, I'll gob her!

If anyone gobs her, it'll be me!

Radio: Weather forecast

'Nita!

Come on!

What? I'm busy!
Open this bloody door!

George is here!
Liar! Where's his car?

Ow, me bleedin' arm!
You're breakin' her arm!

Clear off, then! How
can I with t'door on arm?

Jesus wept!

Grassed on Gina, didn't
yer? Two-faced turd!

Now t'coppers know she
were hustlin' they'll not bother!

What's a dead hustler?



She nearly broke me bloody arm!

I'll tear every
bleached hair out!

She was your wife! You found out
that she'd been working the Lane!

I only found out from you!

She did it on your doorstep, rubbing
your nose in it! Don't give me that.

You saw her bobbing about, looking in
cars, hanging about with that scrubber...

I don't know who you mean!

You saw the whole filthy business
and wanted to end it! Who wouldn't?

What I don't understand is why
you went back up on the moor, eh?

You must've known
we'd be watching.

Were you wanting to be caught?

Did you want to confess,
get it off your chest?

Or did you just want to relive it,
to make sense of what you'd done?

Yeah.

That's right.

I had to go.

I had to see it wi'
me own eyes...

..To believe...

..To try and...

I keep thinking she's
gonna walk through the door.

I can't get me thick head
round the fact she's gone.

Knock on door

I didn't kill her.

Yes?

Can I have a word, sir?

The tyre tracks are different.

What about the girl?

I checked the missing
from home register. Nothing.

Gina Dixon worked with Carol
Johnson. She might know this one.

Yes? Can I get
him some water, sir?

Give him his water, get
samples off him, and let him go.

Carol!

Get in the back.

Where you takin'
me? On a picnic.

Piss off.

You said you'd never
been on a picnic.

Did I? When was that?

When we were seeing each other.

When I was off me head, y'mean?

Why do you act like that?

Like what? Like you hate me.

Cos I do.

After you.

Do you know her?

Carol!

Her name's Tracy.
What's happened?

Found behind the Norfolk gardens
hotel. Somebody coshed her.

Is she gonna die?

I don't know!

Did she work the Lane?

Yeah.

For how long?

A ye... I dunno. A
year, maybe more.

Who's her ponce?

She was on crack. They
found traces of it in her blood.

Big black Mercedes.
You didn't get it from me.

Right.

Sadiq. Dez sadiq. He's got a
couple of girls workin' for him.

You're quiet in here.

Not much doin'. Coppers
swarming around the Lane don't help.

Did she come in here? Who?

Her that got murdered.

Are you a copper?

No. I'm just
interested, that's all.

She worked with
Carol, didn't she?

You can ask her
yourself. She'll be in later.

I heard there was
another last night

really? I haven't heard.
No wonder it's dead!

I want a solicitor.

I've had enough.
Let's charge him.

What with? Attempted murder...

Bollocks! Gbh,
sex with a minor...

I never did that.

Which one do you think?

We're spoilt for choice.

Or... you can be helpful.

Fifteen-year-old, working
the Lane. Her name's Tracy.

Don't know her.

Funny. She knows
you, doesn't she, sgt?

Yes, she knows you very well.

In fact, she says
you're her pimp.

Crap! She's a bloody liar!

So you do know her, then?

Blonde hair, pretty face.

Oh! I think I know
who you mean now...

I didn't know you meant her. I asked
a friend if she could stay with her.

She were homeless, on
the run from harrogate.

Check with harrogate Nick, any
girls missing in the last twelve month.

Sergeant kershaw
has just left the room.

You gave her a few drugs, put
her to work on the Lane. Is that right?

No. She came to
me if she had bother.

Oh, sorry! You were a bit
like a social worker, then (?)

Yeah, sort of.

Somebody tried to cave
her head in last night.

Oh, that's bad news.

You could say that.

Where were you last night?

Out, at somebody's house.

Whose house?

This is nothin' to do wi' me.

Why were you at the hotel?

I wasn't.

Two people will say you were.

Who? Them slags off the Lane?

They'd say anything!

If anyone did Tracy over,
it'd be that garrity bitch.

She was always threatening
her. She wanted her off the Lane.

This one's been gone eight months.
Her parents must be going crazy!

I hate this!

What's t'point in shitface
killin' her? He won't earn owt!

You said he were
lookin' for her!

It don't mean he
tried to kill her!

Serves him right for
doing that to your face!

Have a read of that.

It's a bloody disgrace,
if you ask me!

What is it, Nanna?

Nothing, love.

Someone's been asking about you.

Me?

Yeah. He's only just gone.
I think it were a copper.

There's been another one.

Tracy. He didn't kill her,
thank god. He had a good try.

I've never seen so many
machines. Well, where is she?

Infirmary.

I'll treat myself. A Malibu -

well, look who it is.

And a packet of
pork scratchings.

Back in a minute.

For Christ's sake!

Shittin' yourself, are yer?

I didn't mean to grass on Gina.

I did it to get
who killed her...

..And it'd help you lot out cos
he wouldn't be roaming around.

I saw her husband on
telly, crying. Terrible.

He asked people to come forward
who knew anything. Poor sod.

Nice lookin', an' all!

I didn't say she was a hustler.

I said she was your friend
and I was lookin' after the bag.

Tracy's in hospital.

It says the make-up were a
front to cover what she were doin'.

I don't wanna know.

Just sayin' what it says.

I read it. I don't
need you to tell me.

There's nobody in.

I've got a key. Thanks.
I left mine at home.

I thought he'd be in. Cheers.

She knows.

Everybody'll know.

They'll know wrong!
What d'you mean?

Why don't you go and we'll
catch t'bus back? I'll tidy up.

I thought you came to
pick clean clothes up.

Well, I've changed me mind!

Please yourself.

Don't blame me if
you're tired tonight.

My mummy still isn't here.

There'll be no
work on t'Lane now!

You frightened them off!

Not me! I haven't done anything!

We could advertise.

Open a massage parlour?

You're not having mine!

George'd have a fit! And
what d'you think I am?

I won't tell you.
I'm off to London.

You're always off!

I mean it this time. Nowt
doin' for me here now.

Rosemary garrity? Yeah?

DC Jameson. We've a few
questions, if you don't mind.

Bloody hell! What if I do mind?

Yes?

Mrs Richards?

Ds kershaw, PC derbyshire.

Have you found Naomi?

There's that man again, Nanna.

Hello!

Excuse me. I know it's a difficult time for
you, so I'll spell it out and clear off.

Your wife took out a loan.

She signed a contract.

There you are. I
have a copy of it.

That's her signature, saying
she'd make monthly repayments.

My wife's dead.

I know. I'm sorry about that.

I can tell you're an honourable man
and you won't go back on her word.

So we're not gonna
have a problem, are we?

I can't get me brain round this.

I'll come back when
you've had time to think.

Best to let you know, interest
rates being what they are.

Nice house. You've
done a lot to it.

Sorry, I locked
it. I was upstairs.

Hello, there.

I'll be off, then.

Right.

Who is he?

I've seen him before. He came
round when I were looking after t'kids.

I've been down
t'police station all night.

They think I killed her.

The stupid buggers!

Where've they got that from?

Dreamt it up, like they dreamt
up she were a prostitute.

Have you read it in t'papers?
Seen what they've put?

It's true, Joyce.

No, it isn't.

Our Gina wouldn't do that!

She borrowed money, got behind
with repayments. The police told me.

So? She still wouldn't do it.

They found her make-up case.

A woman was looking after it
when she was picking up men.

No!

I can't believe
you're saying this!

She needed money! Where did
the telly and hi-fi and video go?

She must have flogged them!

I know my own daughter!

Really (?) That man was a loan
shark and he wants his money!

I told her not to go to them
bastards! She always knew better!

Cos you were no
bloody good to her!

Never had any bloody money!

Not my fault! I were
made redundant!

Yeah. You should've
tried to get another job!

Plenty of jobs if you look!

Tell me where and I'll
be out there tomorrow!

Other men find 'em!

If you'd have been a proper
husband, this wouldn't have happened!

If you'd been a proper mother!

I did my best, looked after
them kids, bailed her out!

What have you ever
done for her, eh?

Got her pregnant, give 'er a crack
now and again and left her in debt!

She slung me out!

Who told her to do that? The same
person who her to screw around!

You bastard!! You
bloody bastard!!

I don't know what
I'm saying! I'm sorry!

You... you killed... my Gina!!

Get off me!

It's me. Carol.

Who d'you think?

You told me to ring if
I decided what to do.

So d'you wanna meet me, or what?

Hurry up, I've got
to go. Just yes or no.

Joanne!

Bet you didn't expect to see me!

Can Emma come for tea tomorrow?

Ask your Nanna, all right?

That's me auntie Carol.
I've been to her house before.

Yes.

It's Naomi.

Sorry, I've got to go
back to the station.

Would you like
me to get a doctor?

How old are you?

None of your bloody business.

Thirty-seven, thirty-eight?

Not much doing for you on t'Lane,
now these young ones are coming up.

I don't know what you mean.

So what do you do, Rose?

I'll tell you. You try
to get rid of them.

The fewer young ones like Tracy,
the more likely work will come your way.

No, you're wrong.

Some punters like 'em
young, some like 'em older.

So why threaten her?

I never threatened her!

I tried to frighten her off. She's a
kid. Should be home with her mammy!

Jesus, another 'caring soul' (!)

It's funny. Her pimp seems
to 'care' about her, too.

Does he? I'll tell you,
it were 'im that did this!

Said he'd slit my face open
if I didn't say where she was!

I said she were at the
hotel. That's where I left her.

I thought she'd be
safe. Can I see her?

♪ And when those angel eyes...

I didn't think you'd ring.

Why not? I said I would.

I didn't think you liked me.

So this £150, when do I get it?

Whenever you like. Before.

Right. But you don't
go with anyone else.

As if! Why do you
think I'm doin' this?

I don't really know you yet.

Are we going to t'same hotel?

I can't afford hotels
and £150 quid!

So where do we do it?

We go to t'hotel and you have £100,
or we go to yours and you have £150.

Dez, we took your advice and we
had a word with Rosemary garrity.

Very helpful. Guess
what she told us?

Lies. No, she told us the truth.

She's got a knife
wound to prove it.

She told you Tracy Richards
was at the hotel, and that's a fact.

This can be a long job
or short. It's up to you.

We know you did it. All we have to
do is establish where the weapon is.

Maybe it's in your flat, in
which case we'll get a warrant.

Who knows what we'll find?

Maybe it's in your
Mercedes. Beautiful car!

It's not in the car!

Really? Where is it, then?

It was a stone. I threw
it. I wanted to frighten her!

She was gonna work in that bitch's trick pad,
give 'em her money! They wouldn't look after her!

I wanted to show what could
happen if she went wi' them.

I didn't hit her that hard

it's open.

♪ And when those angel eyes...

♪ oh, now, baby...

Is she gonna live?

I hope so. She's trying to breathe, but we won't
know what damage was done till she's out of the coma.

Hello.

Are you t'doctor?

No.

I'm her mother.

Tracy's?

Her name's Naomi.
Naomi Richards.

Who are you?

I'm... I'm just
a friend of hers.

I'll leave you
alone for a minute.

If anything beeps,
give me a shout.

Yes.

It's only me, Julie.

How long have you known Naomi?

I can't get me head
round her being called that.

Yes, well, that's her name.

The name on her
birth certificate.

I know, it's just that
we knew her as Tracy.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.

My name's Rose.

I'm Helen.

Pleased to meet you.

My husband's at a conference.
I've been trying to contact him.

You said 'we' always
called her Tracy. Who's we?

The other...

..People that I work with.

And did Naomi work with you?

I said, did Naomi
work - I heard you.

Not exactly.

What does that mean?

Best if you don't ask.

She's only fifteen!

They start young these days.

God, you are disgusting.

How can you do that?

Why did she do it?

To survive.

No. She had everything.

We gave her everything.

God, I can't bear to
think of her doing that!

I'm sorry.

She's just a little child.

I know.

It's all right.

It'll be all right.

No, it's not all right.

It's not all right.

And I don't know what to do.

I have made such a
mess of everything.

Haven't we all?

But I didn't want
this to happen.

I didn't choose for
Naomi to end up like this.

You don't choose
to go out there!

You have no idea what it feels like to see
your daughter laid out before you like this.

No, I haven't.

They took my kid away at two month.
Said I weren't fit to look after her.

I'm... I'm very sorry.

That must have been awful.

Yeah. It was.

But you get over it.

She'd be about her age now.

How do I get my daughter back?

Dunno. I'm not the one to ask.

It's brand new, is me suite.

Don't want to get it dirty.

There! You can sit down now.

Here y'are.

And me hundred and fifty.

Thank you. I can pay
me council tax now.

Haven't you paid it?

I couldn't afford to.

You can get into trouble!
They can lock you up!

I know, but what could I do?

Right then, I'll go
and put these on.

Ooh, these are
extra silky tonight!

Wait a minute! I haven't
got me gloves on!

Everything all right?

Yes, I think so.
She hasn't moved.

All right, sweetheart?
Want freshening up?

I'll make her comfortable. You can help
or go for a walk. I'll be fifteen minutes.

I better go.

All right if I stay?

Yeah, no problem.

I'll find out how she's doin'.

I won't come again.

Anyway, I hope everything
works out. She's a good girl, really.

Ta-ra, Tracy.

(Moaning)

You're taking a long time.

D'you want me to
take me dress off?

No.

Sure you don't want music on?

No!

You've been half an hour!
These shoes are killin' me corns!

(Grunting)

Thank god for that.

Get these stretched
before next week.

Right, I'll see you later.

I thought we'd have a chat.

Chat? What for?

I mean, what about?

Anything, just
have a little chat.

Well, it's a bit late!

It's only ten to nine.

I've got to be up early to
get Emma off to school.

How old is she?

Seven.

You'd better go.

You haven't taken
t'stockings off.

I'll wash 'em for next week.

You don't have to.

I'm not wearing
anything unwashed!

You won't forget
your council tax?

I'll be straight down to t'town
hall after I've dropped Emma off.

Here. Put this towards it.

Ta. Bye.

Lock rattles

Know what these blends are like?

I've no idea. I
don't drink whisky.

Shame to spend so much
just to get blasted out me brains.

I lost me wife
earlier this year.

I saw this advert in the
paper. 'Tina's massage parlour.'

I didn't have the bottle to do
it. I thought I'd buy me own.

What you tellin' me for?

Dunno. You look like someone
I could talk to, I suppose.

How much is the Brandy?

£8.99, please.

That's mine.

Right?

We'll have to be quiet.
Me little girl's in bed.

So, do I go now, or what?

Yeah, you go.

Don't I have to pay
you or something?

Yeah, twenty quid.

Is that t'going rate?

No, but you bought the Brandy.

Come on, get up.

Everything costs, does it?

I'd like to see t'menu sometime.

No mouth, though,
eh? No kissing.

That's right.

That's for your boyfriend? Yep.

What's he think
about you doing this?

It's none of his business.

Does he know? He's
coming. Get dressed!

What about that Gina Dixon
woman? How much did she charge?

I've no idea!

You must know.
You worked together.

Who told you that?

A little bird. Was she any good?

It's time you were going.

Can I get past? How
long had she been doing it?

I don't know!

I didn't even know
her! You're lying!

I've been told you do. How long?

A couple of week, that's all.

How many's a couple?

Two or three! I can't remember.
Why? What's it to you, anyway?

I were married to her.

So, what's it feel
like to be a whore?

Keep your bloody money!

This one's on Gina, is it?

I want you out! Get off!

Take it! I don't want it.

You earned it! Take
your filthy hands off me!

I'm glad she's dead!

(Retching)

"Standing at platform six is the
22.15 for London king's cross."

"Calling at Wakefield,
doncaster..."

Come on, have a good blow.

Knocking

Carol! I'm coming!

Open the door.

What'd you ring me for, then?

Let me in.

What's happened? Nothin'.

Sounded like it (!) You
were hysterical on the phone!

I thought someone
were killing yer!

Yeah, well, so did I.

Tell me who it was!

You're bloody lovin' this!

What? Me ringing,
asking for help!

Carol, I'm a copper! It's
me job! I want to help!

Like hell you do! You
wanna control people!

You can't control me,
and it pisses you off!

You don't know
what you're on about.

Because of you, I had
to give up working in vice!

Don't tell me I want control
over your life! You control mine!

Do you know what it's like coming
back here, seeing you again?

Have you got the first idea
what this is doing to me?

Oh, Jesus, we'll
have violins next!

You said you'd been assaulted.

Yeah.

A punter?

Was he a punter?

No!

Yeah.

I don't know what he was.

He said he was Gina's husband.

He stuffed money into me mouth!

Nothing's that bad, love!

Have you got any kids?

I've got a boy who's nineteen.
Just started university.

I think he's a bit homesick.

Siren

Bingo.

We'll give them five
minutes, then we're in.

Can I have a word?

Yeah, what about?

Carol Johnson. You paid
her a visit. I want to know why.

She talked Gina into doing
it. How the hell do you know?

She wouldn't have done it otherwise.
Why are you bothered about her?

Your wife couldn't
think for herself, eh?

Somebody talked her into it!

She worked with a
prostitute. I found out who.

Thought you'd
teach her a lesson?

Yeah, that's right.

What's the matter? Shagged
your girlfriend, have I?

Was she any good?

Yeah, she were terrific!

Don't you understand? I had to
hear it with me own ears to believe it!

I had to know what she did!

And what did she do, Steve?

Tell me!

She was a whore!

And that's why you killed her!

Running a brothel?
Is this April fool's day?

We've a record of everything.

You're wrong. She's my
friend and he's her boyfriend.

Yeah. Mind if I
put my clothes on?

Sir, can we have your
name and address?

Why me? I haven't
done anything wrong.

That's personal.

'Carol, £4.' 'Rose...'

I sold her some bleach.

My boyfriend's got a cleaning
company. He's an important man.

Really? DC unwin.

Get this one to the custody
suite and get the charge sergeant.

There's been another murder.

Control tried to get you. You
were in a poor reception area.

The body was found 25 minutes
ago. Same as the last one.

Time of death between
9pm and 10pm. I was with her.

Sgt kershaw's there.
I want to make a call.

My boyfriend knows people
on the council. You'll regret this!

A car like this was seen
near last night's murder.

He asked me where I was the night
Gina Dixon got done. I said I was here.

You go to a hotel room with a
man who may be a murderer!

And you take some stupid
15-year-old to protect you!

Jesus!

Going to go back on the
streets and sell yourself again?!

Don't understand, do you?
I don't want you to do it.

What the hell are
you doin' here?

I've come to see yer.
