Blue Murder (2003–2009): Season 3, Episode 2 - Make Believe - full transcript
Less than two weeks after 3 year old Sammy Wray goes missing from a children's playground, a child's body is found in a sewer. DCI Lewis is leading the inquiry and the pathologist's report cites the cause of death as a blow to the skull. The investigation soon reveals that the boy's father, Clive Wray, is lying to them about his whereabouts the day the boy went missing. His ex-wife is known to have made threats against his new family and she becomes a suspect as well. The case is thrown into chaos however when DNA testing reveals that the dead boy isn't Sammy Wray. The police now have two cases to solve and it's back to square one interviewing Sammy parents, neighbors, workmen and any others who might have be in the area when Sammy disappeared. They're convinced his disappearance and the death of another child of the same age have to be connected but there is no apparent link.

FIONA WRAY: Sammy?

Where are you, Sammy?
Sammy?
Sammy?
YOUNG BOY: Mama!

Sammy!
Sammy!
[echo]
MALE VOICE: It's been three dayssince Sammy Wray was reported
missing from Whittington Park.
Hopes are now fading
for Sammy Wray
five days after he
was last seen alive.
DCI Janine Lewis.
Thanks.
DI Mayne.
Millie from the press office.
Satisfied?
Was she?
Hi.
Young child, looks like
a blow to the head.
Sammy Wray?
Could well be.
The clothes are right,
size of the body.
We get the parents to ID him?
Too distressing, the effectsof the water and animals.
Best shot the DNA.
I don't want them
waiting a minute longer.
Mr. and Mrs.
Wray, I'm DCI Lewis.
We found him.
I'm so sorry.
But I have to tell you we haverecovered the body of a boy
matching Sammy's description.- Oh.
Get out.
God, no!
- Just get out.
- Oh!
It's terrible news, I know.
[sobs] I want to see him.
Can't do that, Mrs. Wray.
RICHARD MAYNE: Not until
we have the DNA result,
we don't want to put you throughthe formal identification.
[cries]
Sue will remain with you asyour family liaison officer.
She'll continue
to stay with you.
I'm going to be leading
the investigation.
DI Mayne will be
working with me.
I know you've already
made statements
to the missing persons inquiry.
But circumstances have changed.
We do need to look
at everything again.
We can, um, do that now ortake a break, come back later.
- Now.
- Fiona?
Now.
[voice catches]
Could you, um--
could you describe
for me, please,
what Sammy was wearing theSaturday he went missing.
His navy trousers, a grizzlybear t-shirt, red shoes.
[sobs]
You went to the park--
About 1:00.
He loves the slide.
And one minute, he was there.
Then you raised the alarm.
It's OK.
And you arrived home at--
Uh, 4:00.
[inaudible]
Oh my god.
Where you been walking?
Kinder scout.
Hayfield.
So she called it
off, yeah, mate?
Who have you told?
Have you told everyone?
She knows you want
to get that rock back.
Stick that in your pre-nup.
Somebody finally said
yes to [inaudible]..
- And it'll actually matter?- Don't worry, boss.
Mail order bride.
28 days money back guarantee.
OK, everyone.
A small boy killed andleft in a drainage tunnel.
Sort of case we
pray won't happen.
If anyone needs to stepdown at any point, do it.
Likewise, counseling.
Don't want to lose any of you.
Now, most of you know EmilySaunders, press office.
This is a high
profile case, so Emily
is going to be developing andmanaging our press strategy.
What do you need?
We've three lines of inquiry,the family at the park,
and the crime scene.
Post-mortem shows deathdue to a fractured skull.
The body was wrapped in asheet, generic poly cotton.
Chain stores sell
them, catalogs.
Clothing has descriptions,popular High Street range.
The footwear is still missing.
Estimated time of death between7:00 and 12:00 days ago, and it
appears as if the body
was put into the tunnel
soon after that.
So ideas.
Family?
The Wrays kill
him and then report
him missing as a cover-up.
But Fiona Wray was seenwith somebody at the park.
Clive's got a
dodgy alibi, though.
There's no one to
verify where he was.
Suppose he was involved.
Why bury Sammy so close to home?
Opportunistic.
Sharp, get on to the wardens,park rangers, whatever.
Check CCTV between
here and Hayfield.
Speed cameras, anything thatmight flag up Clive Wray.
OK, moving on.
Scene of crime.
The property here is
being refurbished.
We'll talk to the contractors.
And door-to-door
the neighbors.
Yeah, I've got a screwfrom a pair of glasses caught
in between the sheets, plusfragments of optical glass
found on the pavement
by the manhole cover.
Sammy was wearing his
glasses at the park.
The sheet looks like
a shroud, isn't it?
Not just dumped in a bin bag.
A mark of respect.
Or he just grabbed
what was out.
OK, now the park.
We are reviewing
eyewitness statements.
But to date, no one saw
the actual abduction.
So--
Those three signs-- havethey been cross-referenced?
Uh, yeah.
We're still looking
for a woman on her own,
an elderly couple with adog, and yes, a bearded man
acting strangely by the gate.
I know there is
always a bearded weirdo
acting strangely, but don'tdismiss it completely.
Just don't waste time on it.
Lots to do.
Let's get on with it.
Hey.
What are you
doing on this job?
What do you think?
Doing my job.
Millie, can you avoid
sensationalizing it?
Well, yeah, I mean,
I'll do my best,
but the Nationals will
be on to it Sundays.
It's a big story.
[construction noise]
CONSTRUCTION WORKER:
Johnny McEvoy.
Hey.
Yeah?
Could I have a word?
This about the murder?
That's right.
I was there when
they found the body--
huge shock.
You got any leads yet?
We reckon in most caseslike this it was the family.
When were you last there?
Monday.
My mates on the 6--
I've been filling
in there all week.
That child, he'd beenthere a while, hadn't he?
What were you doing
there this morning?
I was just checking thesite, you know, for vandalism.
We get a lot of vandalism.
Still, I don't have totell you about that, do I?
See anything
that might help us?
I've been racking my brains.
It was a fractured skull
and all, wasn't it?
Do you know if he was
killed and then moved?
You see, there was
this case in Florida.
Oh, joy.
We've got ourself an expert.
What?
Mr. Stafford, Detective
Sergeant Butchers,
you are aware of the incident?
Yes.
We're interviewingeverybody in the vicinity.
I didn't see anything.
I can't help you.
Can I come in, please?
You say you've not seen
anything suspicious.
What about regular
comings and goings?
Neighbors?
Builders next door?
Builders?
That's a joke.
Permanent go slow.
Don't see them for
days on end, then they
turn up at the crack of dawn.
I've told them I work nights,but they don't give a toss.
Yeah, when did
you last see them?
Monday.
Is that it?
Can I just have a quickword with your wife as well?
She died.
Luke, the police, want toknow if we saw anything.
No.
Just the coppers and
that this morning.
Excuse me?
Mr. Breeley?
DCI Janine Lewis.
DI Mayne.
What's that about?
Can we come in?
Mandy, police, comeabout that little kiddie.
Sh.
I've just put Chuck
down for his nap.
We saw it in the news.
Couldn't believe it.
Yeah, sit down.
Hello.
Who's this?
Connor.
Did you see anyone
acting suspiciously?
Or anyone close to
the main drainage?
Is that where they found him?
Christ.
You know when you've
got kids of your own.
Not at work?
Bad back.
Weather like we've been having,the rain, it often goes off.
Takes twice as long to do a job.
Last Saturday, you
knocked off lunchtime.
That's right.
I came back here.
What did you do
that afternoon?
Um, I just did stuff
around the house.
He's always out busyfixing other people's houses.
I'm always on him to sort
this place out first.
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
Boss.
Shap, if you rang me forovertime, you can forget it.
No, it's Clive Wray's alibi.
Hayfield was holding a
fell race on the day.
120 entrants,supporters, and stewards.
If he was there, there's noway he could have missed it.
He's lying to us, Boss.
He's lying.
Fiona, I need to ask youa really difficult question,
and I wouldn't do if
it wasn't so vital.
But we believe Clive islying about going walking.
Well, I don't know
what to think anymore.
He was just so jumpy every timeanyone asked us where we were.
You know, I thought
I was being paranoid,
but his boots were clean,and I looked in his pockets.
That's where he was.
Look at the date.
He's lying.
A time like this and he's lying.
I mean, why would
he lie when Sammy?
Why would he lie?
Right, here we are.
11:45 AM on the morning of theday Sammy Wray was abducted,
sports north recreation
ground, hockey match
between Marsh High School and--
All Saints High under-16.
Right.
OK, enter Clive Wray
and meets with jailbait.
Not the sort of [inaudible]and his missus had in mind
when she filled this flask.
Could explain the alibi though.
Oh, hang on.
I mean, if you are in somesort of illicit, possibly
even illegal, affair, I mean,why do it out in the open
like that?
It's so public.
Come on, he's shagging her,she's given him the boot,
he can't take it because he'ssubtle saddled with a gym
slip fixation, like you.
Bring him in.
Your child goes missingand you lie to the people
who are trying to find him.
For what?
To cover up a seedy affair?
She's my daughter.
She's my bloody daughter Sarah.
When I split from
my ex-wife, Claire,
I hoped that I'd still getto see plenty of Sarah.
That's why we bought
the house nearby,
so that she could come around.
But Claire is very
needy, volatile.
She made our lives hell.
Coming to the house, abusivecalls, turning up at work.
It was horrendous.
In the end, I promised FionaI'd make a clean break.
On the very day Sammy wasborn, Claire took an overdose.
Sarah had to call an ambulance.
How long did this go on for?
I left Claire when
Fiona got pregnant.
She was still harassing usuntil Sammy was six months.
But recently, I started
to feel bad about Sarah.
Not being there for the
first 12 years, and--
What about the argument
at the hockey match?
She was very angry with me.
She told me to piss off.
Where did you go?
I don't remember.
I, um, I drove around,
and sat in the car.
Do you have to tell Fiona?
No.
You have to.
He thought he
could just say sorry
and it'd make everything better.Like hello.
Is that why you rowed?
Did you know about
this argument?
I told her about it.
She stopped eating,
you know, when he left.
Starved herself.
- Mom.
Is this the first time
he's come to see you?
[inaudible]
Sarah, your dad?
He made a mistake
abandoning us.
- Um, no.
- I think he knows that.
He brought Sammy
around a few weeks ago.
Some deranged plan.
If we met him, it would
change everything.
You met Sammy?
So not a good idea.
I never wished
the child any harm,
I just wished it
had never been born.
Mom.
If it hadn't
been for the baby,
he'd have never of left me.
We're second best.
He's just in denial.
He choose Fiona.
He choose Sammy.
Poor, Fiona, such a tragedy.
[inaudible]
If I ever get that bitterand twisted, do me a favor,
shoot me.
If?
I've just had the star on.
Donny McAvoy has been
trying to sell them
pictures from the crime scene.
Took them with his phone.
They're not biting?
No.
They know the score.
Mystic Meg, she was seenlunching outside the res
that afternoon.
You were seen in the houseshorty before 1:00 on Saturday.
Was I?
What were you doing there?
If Clive wants to play
daddy to Sarah again,
he'll have to give it 100%.
Come back to you?
I went to tell
him all or nothing.
When I think about whathe'd done, our lovely girl,
he abandoned her.
Cut her dead.
He nearly destroyed me.
Sarah had to listen to mehowling night after night.
What did Clive say?
Nothing.
No one was at home.
So you went to the park?
Saw Sammy and Fiona.
He loves me.
That's what people
miss, the connection.
Passion.
We were probably lovers
in our former loves.
It has that resonance.
And they looked
happy, Fiona and Sammy?
And you've been
happy, hadn't you?
You and Sarah.
Well, you and Sarah andClive till Sammy came along.
It's times like this
that people find out
what really matters,
like Clive and I.
It'll bring us
closer in the end.
Did you go to the park?
You're holding on to
a great deal of anger.
Mrs. Wray.
No.
I had a walk and came home.
Sarah?
She was here.
What time was that?
I don't wear a watch.
It interferes with my chakras.
Why did you take
Sammy to see Claire?
He's just a little boy.
She acted as if he was a--
I just thought that
if she saw him.
You took our son to
see that bloody woman
after everything she did to us?
The car, the scratches, thetires, that was her again,
not vandals.
You still love her, don't you?
Claire's been right all along.
You only left her
because I was pregnant.
You never really loved me.
It's always been
Claire, hasn't it?
No.
Tragic bloody Claire and
her precious daughter.
Do you know she never evenlet me give birth in peace.
Oh, no, she had to
grab the spotlight
and try and kill herself.
My boy.
She'd never touch him.
You've no reason to think so.
Claire was seen.
She admits she came here.
She killed him
and it's your fault.
That mad bitch
came and took him.
Don't you see what you've done?
Hello?
Claire is not a killer.
I love you, Fiona.
You, Sammy, and Sarah.
Sure.
I may have lost one child,but I'll fight damn hard to be
a father to the other one.
No doubt whatsoever?
I see.
Yeah, thank you.
That's how it will be.
If you love me,
you'll accept that.
Fiona, I'm so sorry.
The child, the boy,
it's not Sammy.
The DNA results havecome back it's not Sammy.
We have an abduction and themurder of an unknown child.
Sammy is officially a
missing person again.
Back to square one on this.
He's now been
missing for 11 days.
Claire Wray is our keycandidate for the abduction.
Did you search her house?
We'll get a warrant.
We'll talk to her, lookinto this recent harassment
of Clive and Fiona.
See what threats
she's been making.
Could do a line
up, see if people
pick her out as thesingle woman at the park.
Sarah is another
contender for that.
We'll talk to her too.
OK, actions, trace interview andeliminate remaining witnesses.
Reconstruction's
set for tomorrow.
And if you rule
out Claire Wray?
Cases could be linked.
Could be somebody
targeting 3-year-olds.
Or there could
be no connection.
So we deal with these as
two distinct inquiries.
This is not Sammy Wray.
Who is it?
Well, with no ID for the child,we concentrate on the site--
Hang on.
Janine?
Well, I've seen a
few things in my life,
but something like this,
wrapped in a sheet?
But I could tell it
was a body, and it'd
been down there a while.
And here's me justworking a few yards away.
Beggars belief.
I want him gagged.
Shap, talk to him.
Who else have
access to the site?
Neighbors.
Ken Stafford couldn't getrid of me fast enough.
Right.
We eliminate all of thembefore we take this any wider.
Background checks,
record checks.
Be thorough.
She took Clive
and now she's still
persecuting me, because
she knows where Clive
really belongs, that's why.
My phone is in meltdown.
Local press have got
wind of an arrest.
Half of them are camped outside.
Is it true you're questioningthe ex-wife for the abduction?
What gives you the impressionthat Clive still loves--
Well, thank you
for the update.
I've been quite busy.
I should be told of
all major developments.
This is a major development.- No?
Yeah.
Your final answer?
There's a lot of speculationflying about at this stage.
Well, unless you giveme something to work with,
it's going to be all over
the airwaves as well.
Or shall I just put
the call straight
through to the incident room?
To the horses mouth?
Richard, no names yet.
Thank you for your support.
I'm not going to
talk to her like that.
You've been up to yourold tricks again, Mrs. Wray.
Attacking property, threatening
Clive and his family.
Second family.
We've been reading some of themessages you've been sending.
Your life won't be worth living.
You're a slut, and her
brat can rot in hell.
This all started up again afterhe brought Sammy around, yeah?
What did he expect?
I hated that child.
Hated?
You think he's still alive?
Yes.
Luke Stafford, bit
of a button, and he
went to All Saints High School,same school as Sarah Wray.
[phone ringing]
CS Shap.
Oh, hiya, Kim.
No, it's Tony, yourfiance's better half here.
No, love, you've
just missed him.
OK.All systems go for tonight?
I can't wait.
I'll tell him.
All right then, bye.
Maybe we should
postpone the party?
Everyone's flat out.
No way, mate, after the lastfew days, we all need a chance
to get totally hammered.
A week last Saturday, youwere working, then what?
Shift finishes at 4:00 AM, Iget in half past, slept through
till 5:00ish that afternoon.
So you didn't see Luke forthe best part of 20 odd hours?
I needed it.
I just got off when thebloody builders rolled up.
Yeah, and you're
never shut up about it.
What time did you get up?
Don't know.
The rest of the
day, what then?
Here, probably.
Because you've been in abit of bother, haven't you?
Vandalism, assault. Does itmake you feel big, does it?
Knocking someone about.
Do you get balls out
of hurting people?
Pack it in.
How well do you
know Sarah Wray?
We're mates.
Has she said anythingto you about the abduction
of her half brother?
- No.
Nothing?
Said you lot went round there.
And that's all?
You don't [inaudible]
round of you.
Yes.
There's nothing for you here.
OK.
Listen, have we got thatwarrant for Claire Wray's house?
Yeah.DS BUTCHERS: Meet me there.
That's great.
Thanks.
It needs sensitive handling.
Well, you're good at that.
You still up for
the party tonight?
Yeah.
Are you coming?
Doubt it.
Boss, Luke Stafford andSarah Wray are best mates.
He's got a history
of violent behavior,
and he lives next door
to the murder scene.
She's got a reason to
want rid of Sammy Wray.
What you saying?
Well, it's a pact.
She does Sammy and he
doesn't have a child.
Their kids.
Or he was going after Sammy,but he got the wrong kid.
Oh, come on.
Boss, you want
to see her room.
Full of chiller DVDs andstuff about death and pain.
Sick stuff.
She's 15.
Hello.
Bernard Cohen, purple
ink, crap poetry.
I know you sprang fullyformed, but the rest of us
have been there.
I'm not pullingjuveniles in on the basis
of a freaking DVD collection.
Can you put either Sarah
or Luke at the park?
Not yet, but I can try.
Oh, right, I thought you wereotherwise engaged this evening?
Boss, none of the
witnesses picked
Claire Wray out of the lineup.
OK, release her.
We have no evidence
that Claire's involved.
The reconstruction startsat 1 o'clock tomorrow.
And?
Was that it?
We go through the whole
thing for the cameras
just so you can
plaster over the news.
There are still some witnesseswe haven't managed to talk to.
I'm hoping they'll come forward,but you don't need to be there.
We don't need to make thisany harder than it has to be.
Oh, no, we'll be there.
When you first told usthat you'd found him, when we
believed he was dead,
it was so raw and dark,
I couldn't breathe.
But this, this is worse.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what's
happening to him.
I watch the clock and I counthis hours, and I'm not there.
I should be there.
Pete?
Can you pull around?
Something's come up.
Hiya.
I thought you meant work.
It's work related.
Hiya.
Hi, Boss.
Next ones on me.
Whatever these guys wantand something for yourself.
Great.
You want to get her name
down for "Wife Swap."
She'd be perfect.
You need a top off, Boss?
Thanks.
Go on then, Butchers,
which one is she?
The one--
In pink.
Millie, Millie, we had a[inaudible] called Millie once.
Is it short for something?
Milicent?
It's Emily actually.
Oh.
You don't use Emily for work.
You know who you are,
maybe a bit more--
Same again?
Will you do the honors?
Thanks.
I think you've had enough.
Piss off.
More what?
Sorry?
How long have you
two been an item?
He acts like it's
a trade secret.
You're not married to awoman or something, are you?
God, no.
Are you?
What?
So what made you
pop the question?
Were you pissed or what?
I don't remember.
It was news to me.
Bad news.
But you still went aheadand stoned up for a ring?
Well, I--
You tight git.
You made her pay
for her own ring?
Only till my
salary comes through.
What am I going to do?
Leave it with me.
I'll have a quiet word.
Tony.
It's sorted, trust me.
I never took you
for a party animal.
Living large, Louise,
that's what I say.
Got to show 'em we're human.
The team respects you, Janine.
That's hard to win
but easily lost.
You know you're never
really off duty.
You have to set the tone.
Lead by example.
It can be tricky knowing
where to draw the line.
A case like this is hard
on everyone involved.
You can say that again.
We're all working our ballsoff and getting nowhere.
And there's me, telling theparents of a missing 3-year-old
there's still no news, and itmakes me wonder, if, you know,
maybe I've dome something wrong.
Maybe I can't hack it anymore.
I'm just in this job becauseit's all I've ever done.
You.
No.
If I feel like that,
how am I supposed
to keep up morale for that lot?
[yelling]
Come on, Boss.
You haven't had any cake yet.
We need to get in quick.
[DRUNKEN SINGING]
Regrets, I've had a few.
I've had a few actually.
Then again, too many to mention.
I did what I had to do and sawit through without exemption.
I planned each chartedcourse, each careful step.
Done it my way, more than
this, I did it my way.
[SINGING] Regrets, I'vehad a few, but then again--
I can arrange a few
more, if you like.
OK.
We've now got detailedstatements from the Staffords,
McAvoy, Breeley, [inaudible]the whole of Kendell Avenue,
plus testimony from Royal Mailstaff, meter readers, window
cleaners, Avon lady, the works.
That little lot needscorrelating and mapping out.
Someone put that childthere, they weren't observed.
When did they get the chance?
Late night, Butchers?
I brought in Luke
Stafford and Sarah Wray.
They were at Luke's houselast Saturday afternoon.
That's where she went
after the hockey match,
and Luke failed to mention it.
And?
And they could've gone tothe park and taken Sammy.
They're downstairs.
We hung out
together, that's all.
We just stayed at his house.
You ever go out at all?
No.
The boy is out of control.
You don't know
anything about him.
Please, Mrs. Wray.
Can we just hear what
Sarah's got to say?
Luke's mom died, and hisdad won't even say her name.
It's like she never existed.
He gets down, and so he getsangry, and he gets into fights.
That's all.
How far does he go?
Has he ever really hurt anyone?
No.
It's just a scrap.
Usually someone
who's getting at him.
Mostly he just talks
about killing himself,
because his life
isn't worth living.
I know only too well
how great a loss can be.
Please, be quiet.
No.
No, it's not the same.
Dad left you, but
he left me too.
You just made it harder.
He wanted to see me, but
you made it impossible.
Has anyone ever asked
you what you wanted?
I missed him so much.
He'd gone and then
you took pills.
What if I hadn't
found you in time?
Did you ever even think of that?
What it was like for me?
I'm so sick of it.
I just want it all to stop.
Why didn't you tell us thatSarah had come to your house
that afternoon?
You just asked me where I was.
Luke, can you help us?
Do you know anything about themurder or Sammy's abduction?
No.
How can you think that?
We won't get any surpriseswhen our DNA tests come back.
No.
Look, is Sarah all right?
Yes, she's fine.
Thanks very much for your help.
Could you just wait outsidefor a moment, please?
Hold on, please.
These problems that Luke'sbeen having, they started
after your wife's death?
He took it hard.
You tried talking to him?
Get any help?
There's no point
in dwelling on it.
So you did nothing?
Are you aware of the
fact that Luke's been
struggling with depression?
He;s had suicidal thoughts.
Oh, God.
I got it all wrong, didn't I?
I'm a Detective
Chief Inspector,
not a bloody family therapist.
You drag them in there,
forcing me away from two
critical investigations.
You latched onto the wholeteenaged killer theory
because it was
easier than dealing
with your personal stuff.
Now, we've all done
it, but it cocks
things up here and at home.
It's all off.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
Happy?
She was a bit of a slapper.
And you're a prat.
I want to review your
original statements,
see how objective they are.
[very high pitch talking]
Ken Stafford's
second statement.
Saturday, back from
the night shift,
just got off to sleep whenthe builders start up.
Luke said his dad
complained about it.
Initial door to doortestimony from Ken Stafford.
Don't see them for
days, then they
turn up at the crack of dawn.
Lazy builders?
On the job before daylight?
It's the builders we
should be talking to.
It's the bloody builders.
Breeley's car broke downon a Friday afternoon,
AA were called out, MandyBreeley was driving.
Yeah, he was fixing that carwhen we first went round there.
If it was Breeley, andthat car was out of action,
he'd have had to use hiswork van to take the body
to the drainage tunnel.
From?
Right.
If Breeley or McAvoy
did kill the child,
could they have gone
on to snatch Sammy,
hidden him somewhere too?
Breeley's wife said he was withher all Saturday afternoon.
Yeah, there's no oneto alibi McAvoy for that.
No one?
No, home in front of
the telly, a few beers.
Lives alone?
No family?
What?
That makes it any more likely?
Just no one to
keep tabs on him.
Has its advantages.
Breeley's been off sick.
Which sites has McAvoy
been working at?
Find out.
We need to search them.
Let's get cracking on this.
Richard.
Is this about last night?
The glacial tone, the moodystare, did I pop your balloon?
No, you were [inaudible]to Millie last night.
You could barely say her name.
Millie?
Patronizing her,
sticking your nose in.
Or maybe you can't
remember that.
It was just before you madea right prat of yourself
with your "X Factor" routine.
OK, so will you callhim and then let me know?
Thanks, Jeff.
Yeah, no probs.
Speak to you later.
Bye.
We've had a break.
Stafford's statement puts oneof the buildings at the scene
early that Saturday morning.
Who?
It is too early toeliminate either of them yet.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Yeah, you could issue
a statement saying
new information has givenus some positive new leads,
and that I'm very hopeful.
That true?
Nope.
I feel like I'm smashing my headagainst a brick wall actually,
but that doesn't scan so well.
Well, I could
dig around a bit.
Do an archive search.
Yeah, thanks.
The Wray's are still set onattending the reconstruction.
They want to feel involved.
[phone ringing]
I'll see you there.
Millie Saunders.
We have a witness whoplaces you at Kendell Avenue
much earlier.
That can't be me.
I didn't get there till 9:00.
You the first?
Yeah.
When did Breeley show?
Just after.
Do you think he had
something to do with it?
You're the one in
the interview room.
That's rubbish, that is.
I was the one who reported it.
On the flood anyway.
Now why would I do that?
You tell me.
You're a true crime
fan, am I right?
Yeah.
You'll know then,
there are some people
who attract particularattention in a murder inquiry.
Family, close friends.
Also, the last person
to see the victim
alive, the one who
discovers the body.
Anyone showing an excessiveamount of interest in the case,
and a person who returnsto the scene of the crime.
Three out of four.
Ma'am?
We've got a good turn out.
But what if this doesn't work?
I mean, how much longer--
We're doing everything we can.
I promise.
The glasses' screw.
We thought it was Sammy's,but turn it on its head.
What if it's the killer's?
McAvoy wears glasses.
We've still got his.
Richard, when we spoke toJoe Breeley at his house,
there were photos on the wall.
Was he wearing glasses
in some of them?
I think he was.
Can you remember?
You've not got your
glasses, Mr. Breeley.
He lost them.
When was that then?
I don't know,
I can't remember.
Well, you didn't have
them the first time
we came around, so before then?
We found optical glass onthe pavement at Kendell Avenue,
and a glasses screw inside thesheet the child was wrapped in.
Now, if you've lost yourglasses, were they broken?
Maybe they're in the van.
It's just outside,
can I have a look?
No, no, mate.
You don't need to do that.
What?
It won't take a minute.
Clear this up.
They're not in there.
What's wrong?
Leave it.
Leave it.
- What's wrong?
- Just leave the van.
Come here.
Breeley, just relax.
Joseph Breeley, I'm arrestingyou under suspicion of murder.
Mandy!
You don't have
to say anything.
Mandy!
You may have [inaudible].
Mandy!
Something which you
later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may
be given in evidence.
Just relax.
The screw most
have worked loose
and dropped into the sheet.
Later, as you were
moving the body,
your lens fell out and broke.
They're not mine.
Come on, Joe, we canidentify the prescription
from the fragments.
They'll match.
There's plenty more
where that came from.
We got your clothes,
we got your DNA.
You probably find
traces of me everywhere.
I worked there.
Right, you went to
work early in the van.
You put the little boy
in the drainage tunnel,
left, and then
came back at 9:00.
What happened, Joe?
Who's the little boy?
Janine, look at this.
Joe Breeley had a
little brother, Gary.
Joe was looking after himwhen the toddler died.
He fell down some steps,
fractured his skull.
They ruled accidental death,though they were remiss.
Did he fall or was he pushed?
Exactly.
Joe was 10 at the time.
What happened this
time, another accident?
Someone out there is worriedsick because their little boy
is missing.
You're a father, imagine that.
What that little
boy needs a name,
but we need to find out
what happened to him.
He's in our mortuary.
That's no place for him.
He needs your help.
Who is he, Joe?
- He's my son.
My son.
My little boy.
And he's dead.
Is he losing it or what?
Has he got another kid?
Well, there's
the baby and John.
I've just put John
down for his nap.
Oh my God.
Mandy went out Fridayafternoon, car broke down,
you were left alone
with the boys.
It were an accident.
I just wanted him to
stop messing about.
He was having a
tantrum, kicking out,
chucking his food
all over the place,
screaming his little head off.
I pick him up--
You Shook him?
Put him down [inaudible],,he goes backwards
hard against the wall.
Then he's quiet.
She wouldn't let him go.
She stayed with him all night.
But I had to--
So then, you went
out and took Sammy.
Mandy.
Interview suspended.
Richard, Mandy Breeley's gone.
She's taken the kids with her.
How long?
About 10 minutes,according to the neighbors.
can you talk to Joe Breeley,see if he knows where she is,
where she might be headed?
And can you stick Lisa on?
Hello?
Circulate details?
Yeah.
Lisa, map out aradius, possible distance
traveled, time projections.
She's got about 10 minutes.
OK.
Joe, Mandy's gone missing.
What?
What about Connor?
She's taken him and Sammy.
We're very concerned
for their safety.
Where would she go.
You'll take Connor off
her, you'll charge her.
I can't do that to them.
Look, what if
something happens?
What if something goes wrong?
No.
If you help us, Joe, itwill be taken into account.
I don't care about that.
Christ, you think that matters?
We need to speak
to her friends.
Perhaps she's left
the kids with someone,
asked somebody for help.
Joe.
They're on my phone.
Have someone inform
the Wray's now.
Speak to the bank, get them toget in touch with us the minute
she starts using
her credit cards.
What about her mobile phone?
Well, I've contacted
the mobile network
and their going to logany calls that she's made.
- Did you call in [inaudible].
- No.
30 minutes, Boss, She's
Somewhere in this area.
Most likely on the motorway.
Cameras should pick her up.
Butchers, get onto that.
Shap, we need a negotiator.
Get onto the National
Crime faculty,
see if we can have apsychologist standing by,
advise us on how to play it.
- Right, Boss.
- Are customs on board?
- Yes, Boss.
Social Services?
Will do.
We could go public.
Breaking news.
I could get us a be
on the lookout for.
That'd freak her.
No, go for it.
Newsroom, please?
Yeah, Millie Saunders, GMP.
Boss, [inaudible]?
Boss, she's on the phone.
She's using the phone now.
Who she calling?
Mandy?
MANDY: Joe, I wanted
to say goodbye.
I had to go.
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault. It's all myfault. Just come home, yeah?
Come back, please, babes?
MANDY: I love you, Joe.
Remember that.
I love you.
We can work something out.
Just come home.
We can sort this out.
MANDY: It's too late.
I'm sorry.
Mandy, no, don't.
Mandy?
Mandy?
Cameras have got her, Boss.
Where?
M62 West, just past Warrington.
She's heading for Liverpool.
Mandy's traveling
towards Liverpool.
We believe she might be headingfor the airport or the port.
Where she Going Have
you got family abroad?
Place that's special?
What's going to
happen to Connor?
I don't know,
but let's just try
and get him back safely, yeah?
She'd never hurt him.
She's grieving, she's lost achild and taken a replacement.
She knows we've arrested you.
When things look bad,
it can sometimes feel
like there's only one way out.
Are you prepared to take
that risk with Sammy?
With Connor?
Island.
We used to go and she
her cousins in Waxford.
We used to talk
about moving there.
How'd you usually get thee?
On the ferry.
We should be with
you in about 30.
Mandy Breeley could be volatile.
She's grief stricken and shemay be feeling desperate.
Let her board, but try notto do anything to spook her.
Can you ask your guys
not to approach her?
Hold off sailing.
Yep.
Here.
Stop there.
Hiya, DCI Lewis.
We've done a discreet search.
She's on deck 5.
Thanks.
Coast Guard is standing by.
No negotiator as yet.
Social workers are on the way.
I've met her before,
she might talk to me.
Mandy, are you all right?
Go away.
It's all right.
It's over Mandy.
It's over.
You need to come with us.
We know about John.
He's fine.
Aren't you love?
We're both fine,
just leave us alone.
That's not John.
That's Sammy, and he's
sad and he's frightened
and he misses his mom.
I don't know what
you're going on about.
That's Sammy, isn't it?
Mandy, Joe told us what he did.
It did dredge it all up again.
What's the chance of
it happening twice?
You'd never believe me.
I told the truth oncebefore and it fell apart.
His brother, now his son.
No.
It's not like that.
Tell me.
I wanted to get an
ambulance, to get help,
but he wasn't moving.
I went to see
what Gary was up to.
The cellar door was open.
Our Gary had never
opened it before.
The light was broke.
It was really dark.
I got my torch.
Our Gary wasn't
scared of the dark.
I didn't want to go down there.
He just snapped.
He's not a bad man.
He has a temper but
he's not a bad man.
I was late back.
Joe said we'd lose it all.
With his brother,
it was different.
It was an accident, andthey still put him in care.
His mom left him.
My mom's eyes and herface, she never spoke to me.
I was 10 years old.
Blame and hate, that's
what the truth got me,
and it never brought
our Gary back.
Imagine you could
bring John back,
you can do that for
Sammy's mom and dad
because you know what it's like.
Come on.
I loved my son.
I loved him.
Please, come on.
Come on, Sammy.
Come on.
That's it, sweetheart.
That's it.
That's it.
Hello, Sammy.
Come on, Mandy, come on.
He'll need a bottle
in an hour or so.
There's a change of clothesin his bag, and his Teddy.
He likes squash and apricots.
I love you.
Come on.
Come on, Mandy.
Come on, Sweetheart.
Here you go, baby.
That's it, sweetie.
There we are.
That's my boy.
They think they'll
prosecute her?
It's hard to tell.
I'm not pushing for it.
She'd be better off
raising that baby.
And Breeley?
He caused John's
death, covered it up,
put his son's body
in a drainage tunnel.
If he'd come clean, it mighthave been different, but--
Hey, you.
Hi.
You give us five minutes?
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Great copy.
Thanks.
See you down there?
Richard, last night
I was out of order.
Everything-- no excuse.
No.
Not for murdering a
classic like that.
Still not convinced.
What's that?
That she's your type.
Don't be daft.
I don't have a type.
What is my type?
You'll be late.
[theme music]
[rain beating down]
FIONA WRAY: Sammy?
Sammy?
Where are you, Sammy?
Sammy?
Sammy?
YOUNG BOY: Mama!
Sammy, Sammy!
Sammy!
Sammy!
[echo]
MALE VOICE: It's been three dayssince Sammy Wray was reported
missing from Whittington Park.
Hopes are now fading
for Sammy Wray
five days after he
was last seen alive.
DCI Janine Lewis.
Thanks.
DI Mayne.
Millie from the press office.
Satisfied?
Was she?
Hi.
Young child, looks like
a blow to the head.
Sammy Wray?
Could well be.
The clothes are right,
size of the body.
We get the parents to ID him?
Too distressing, the effectsof the water and animals.
Best shot the DNA.
I don't want them
waiting a minute longer.
Mr. and Mrs.
Wray, I'm DCI Lewis.
We found him.
I'm so sorry.
But I have to tell you we haverecovered the body of a boy
matching Sammy's description.- Oh.
Get out.
God, no!
- Just get out.
- Oh!
It's terrible news, I know.
[sobs] I want to see him.
Can't do that, Mrs. Wray.
RICHARD MAYNE: Not until
we have the DNA result,
we don't want to put you throughthe formal identification.
[cries]
Sue will remain with you asyour family liaison officer.
She'll continue
to stay with you.
I'm going to be leading
the investigation.
DI Mayne will be
working with me.
I know you've already
made statements
to the missing persons inquiry.
But circumstances have changed.
We do need to look
at everything again.
We can, um, do that now ortake a break, come back later.
- Now.
- Fiona?
Now.
[voice catches]
Could you, um--
could you describe
for me, please,
what Sammy was wearing theSaturday he went missing.
His navy trousers, a grizzlybear t-shirt, red shoes.
[sobs]
You went to the park--
About 1:00.
He loves the slide.
And one minute, he was there.
Then you raised the alarm.
It's OK.
And you arrived home at--
Uh, 4:00.
[inaudible]
Oh my god.
Where you been walking?
Kinder scout.
Hayfield.
So she called it
off, yeah, mate?
Who have you told?
Have you told everyone?
She knows you want
to get that rock back.
Stick that in your pre-nup.
Somebody finally said
yes to [inaudible]..
- And it'll actually matter?- Don't worry, boss.
Mail order bride.
28 days money back guarantee.
OK, everyone.
A small boy killed andleft in a drainage tunnel.
Sort of case we
pray won't happen.
If anyone needs to stepdown at any point, do it.
Likewise, counseling.
Don't want to lose any of you.
Now, most of you know EmilySaunders, press office.
This is a high
profile case, so Emily
is going to be developing andmanaging our press strategy.
What do you need?
We've three lines of inquiry,the family at the park,
and the crime scene.
Post-mortem shows deathdue to a fractured skull.
The body was wrapped in asheet, generic poly cotton.
Chain stores sell
them, catalogs.
Clothing has descriptions,popular High Street range.
The footwear is still missing.
Estimated time of death between7:00 and 12:00 days ago, and it
appears as if the body
was put into the tunnel
soon after that.
So ideas.
Family?
The Wrays kill
him and then report
him missing as a cover-up.
But Fiona Wray was seenwith somebody at the park.
Clive's got a
dodgy alibi, though.
There's no one to
verify where he was.
Suppose he was involved.
Why bury Sammy so close to home?
Opportunistic.
Sharp, get on to the wardens,park rangers, whatever.
Check CCTV between
here and Hayfield.
Speed cameras, anything thatmight flag up Clive Wray.
OK, moving on.
Scene of crime.
The property here is
being refurbished.
We'll talk to the contractors.
And door-to-door
the neighbors.
Yeah, I've got a screwfrom a pair of glasses caught
in between the sheets, plusfragments of optical glass
found on the pavement
by the manhole cover.
Sammy was wearing his
glasses at the park.
The sheet looks like
a shroud, isn't it?
Not just dumped in a bin bag.
A mark of respect.
Or he just grabbed
what was out.
OK, now the park.
We are reviewing
eyewitness statements.
But to date, no one saw
the actual abduction.
So--
Those three signs-- havethey been cross-referenced?
Uh, yeah.
We're still looking
for a woman on her own,
an elderly couple with adog, and yes, a bearded man
acting strangely by the gate.
I know there is
always a bearded weirdo
acting strangely, but don'tdismiss it completely.
Just don't waste time on it.
Lots to do.
Let's get on with it.
Hey.
What are you
doing on this job?
What do you think?
Doing my job.
Millie, can you avoid
sensationalizing it?
Well, yeah, I mean,
I'll do my best,
but the Nationals will
be on to it Sundays.
It's a big story.
[construction noise]
CONSTRUCTION WORKER:
Johnny McEvoy.
Hey.
Yeah?
Could I have a word?
This about the murder?
That's right.
I was there when
they found the body--
huge shock.
You got any leads yet?
We reckon in most caseslike this it was the family.
When were you last there?
Monday.
My mates on the 6--
I've been filling
in there all week.
That child, he'd beenthere a while, hadn't he?
What were you doing
there this morning?
I was just checking thesite, you know, for vandalism.
We get a lot of vandalism.
Still, I don't have totell you about that, do I?
See anything
that might help us?
I've been racking my brains.
It was a fractured skull
and all, wasn't it?
Do you know if he was
killed and then moved?
You see, there was
this case in Florida.
Oh, joy.
We've got ourself an expert.
What?
Mr. Stafford, Detective
Sergeant Butchers,
you are aware of the incident?
Yes.
We're interviewingeverybody in the vicinity.
I didn't see anything.
I can't help you.
Can I come in, please?
You say you've not seen
anything suspicious.
What about regular
comings and goings?
Neighbors?
Builders next door?
Builders?
That's a joke.
Permanent go slow.
Don't see them for
days on end, then they
turn up at the crack of dawn.
I've told them I work nights,but they don't give a toss.
Yeah, when did
you last see them?
Monday.
Is that it?
Can I just have a quickword with your wife as well?
She died.
Luke, the police, want toknow if we saw anything.
No.
Just the coppers and
that this morning.
Excuse me?
Mr. Breeley?
DCI Janine Lewis.
DI Mayne.
What's that about?
Can we come in?
Mandy, police, comeabout that little kiddie.
Sh.
I've just put Chuck
down for his nap.
We saw it in the news.
Couldn't believe it.
Yeah, sit down.
Hello.
Who's this?
Connor.
Did you see anyone
acting suspiciously?
Or anyone close to
the main drainage?
Is that where they found him?
Christ.
You know when you've
got kids of your own.
Not at work?
Bad back.
Weather like we've been having,the rain, it often goes off.
Takes twice as long to do a job.
Last Saturday, you
knocked off lunchtime.
That's right.
I came back here.
What did you do
that afternoon?
Um, I just did stuff
around the house.
He's always out busyfixing other people's houses.
I'm always on him to sort
this place out first.
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
Boss.
Shap, if you rang me forovertime, you can forget it.
No, it's Clive Wray's alibi.
Hayfield was holding a
fell race on the day.
120 entrants,supporters, and stewards.
If he was there, there's noway he could have missed it.
He's lying to us, Boss.
He's lying.
Fiona, I need to ask youa really difficult question,
and I wouldn't do if
it wasn't so vital.
But we believe Clive islying about going walking.
Well, I don't know
what to think anymore.
He was just so jumpy every timeanyone asked us where we were.
You know, I thought
I was being paranoid,
but his boots were clean,and I looked in his pockets.
That's where he was.
Look at the date.
He's lying.
A time like this and he's lying.
I mean, why would
he lie when Sammy?
Why would he lie?
Right, here we are.
11:45 AM on the morning of theday Sammy Wray was abducted,
sports north recreation
ground, hockey match
between Marsh High School and--
All Saints High under-16.
Right.
OK, enter Clive Wray
and meets with jailbait.
Not the sort of [inaudible]and his missus had in mind
when she filled this flask.
Could explain the alibi though.
Oh, hang on.
I mean, if you are in somesort of illicit, possibly
even illegal, affair, I mean,why do it out in the open
like that?
It's so public.
Come on, he's shagging her,she's given him the boot,
he can't take it because he'ssubtle saddled with a gym
slip fixation, like you.
Bring him in.
Your child goes missingand you lie to the people
who are trying to find him.
For what?
To cover up a seedy affair?
She's my daughter.
She's my bloody daughter Sarah.
When I split from
my ex-wife, Claire,
I hoped that I'd still getto see plenty of Sarah.
That's why we bought
the house nearby,
so that she could come around.
But Claire is very
needy, volatile.
She made our lives hell.
Coming to the house, abusivecalls, turning up at work.
It was horrendous.
In the end, I promised FionaI'd make a clean break.
On the very day Sammy wasborn, Claire took an overdose.
Sarah had to call an ambulance.
How long did this go on for?
I left Claire when
Fiona got pregnant.
She was still harassing usuntil Sammy was six months.
But recently, I started
to feel bad about Sarah.
Not being there for the
first 12 years, and--
What about the argument
at the hockey match?
She was very angry with me.
She told me to piss off.
Where did you go?
I don't remember.
I, um, I drove around,
and sat in the car.
Do you have to tell Fiona?
No.
You have to.
He thought he
could just say sorry
and it'd make everything better.Like hello.
Is that why you rowed?
Did you know about
this argument?
I told her about it.
She stopped eating,
you know, when he left.
Starved herself.
- Mom.
Is this the first time
he's come to see you?
[inaudible]
Sarah, your dad?
He made a mistake
abandoning us.
- Um, no.
- I think he knows that.
He brought Sammy
around a few weeks ago.
Some deranged plan.
If we met him, it would
change everything.
You met Sammy?
So not a good idea.
I never wished
the child any harm,
I just wished it
had never been born.
Mom.
If it hadn't
been for the baby,
he'd have never of left me.
We're second best.
He's just in denial.
He choose Fiona.
He choose Sammy.
Poor, Fiona, such a tragedy.
[inaudible]
If I ever get that bitterand twisted, do me a favor,
shoot me.
If?
I've just had the star on.
Donny McAvoy has been
trying to sell them
pictures from the crime scene.
Took them with his phone.
They're not biting?
No.
They know the score.
Mystic Meg, she was seenlunching outside the res
that afternoon.
You were seen in the houseshorty before 1:00 on Saturday.
Was I?
What were you doing there?
If Clive wants to play
daddy to Sarah again,
he'll have to give it 100%.
Come back to you?
I went to tell
him all or nothing.
When I think about whathe'd done, our lovely girl,
he abandoned her.
Cut her dead.
He nearly destroyed me.
Sarah had to listen to mehowling night after night.
What did Clive say?
Nothing.
No one was at home.
So you went to the park?
Saw Sammy and Fiona.
He loves me.
That's what people
miss, the connection.
Passion.
We were probably lovers
in our former loves.
It has that resonance.
And they looked
happy, Fiona and Sammy?
And you've been
happy, hadn't you?
You and Sarah.
Well, you and Sarah andClive till Sammy came along.
It's times like this
that people find out
what really matters,
like Clive and I.
It'll bring us
closer in the end.
Did you go to the park?
You're holding on to
a great deal of anger.
Mrs. Wray.
No.
I had a walk and came home.
Sarah?
She was here.
What time was that?
I don't wear a watch.
It interferes with my chakras.
Why did you take
Sammy to see Claire?
He's just a little boy.
She acted as if he was a--
I just thought that
if she saw him.
You took our son to
see that bloody woman
after everything she did to us?
The car, the scratches, thetires, that was her again,
not vandals.
You still love her, don't you?
Claire's been right all along.
You only left her
because I was pregnant.
You never really loved me.
It's always been
Claire, hasn't it?
No.
Tragic bloody Claire and
her precious daughter.
Do you know she never evenlet me give birth in peace.
Oh, no, she had to
grab the spotlight
and try and kill herself.
My boy.
She'd never touch him.
You've no reason to think so.
Claire was seen.
She admits she came here.
She killed him
and it's your fault.
That mad bitch
came and took him.
Don't you see what you've done?
Hello?
Claire is not a killer.
I love you, Fiona.
You, Sammy, and Sarah.
Sure.
I may have lost one child,but I'll fight damn hard to be
a father to the other one.
No doubt whatsoever?
I see.
Yeah, thank you.
That's how it will be.
If you love me,
you'll accept that.
Fiona, I'm so sorry.
The child, the boy,
it's not Sammy.
The DNA results havecome back it's not Sammy.
We have an abduction and themurder of an unknown child.
Sammy is officially a
missing person again.
Back to square one on this.
He's now been
missing for 11 days.
Claire Wray is our keycandidate for the abduction.
Did you search her house?
We'll get a warrant.
We'll talk to her, lookinto this recent harassment
of Clive and Fiona.
See what threats
she's been making.
Could do a line
up, see if people
pick her out as thesingle woman at the park.
Sarah is another
contender for that.
We'll talk to her too.
OK, actions, trace interview andeliminate remaining witnesses.
Reconstruction's
set for tomorrow.
And if you rule
out Claire Wray?
Cases could be linked.
Could be somebody
targeting 3-year-olds.
Or there could
be no connection.
So we deal with these as
two distinct inquiries.
This is not Sammy Wray.
Who is it?
Well, with no ID for the child,we concentrate on the site--
Hang on.
Janine?
Well, I've seen a
few things in my life,
but something like this,
wrapped in a sheet?
But I could tell it
was a body, and it'd
been down there a while.
And here's me justworking a few yards away.
Beggars belief.
I want him gagged.
Shap, talk to him.
Who else have
access to the site?
Neighbors.
Ken Stafford couldn't getrid of me fast enough.
Right.
We eliminate all of thembefore we take this any wider.
Background checks,
record checks.
Be thorough.
She took Clive
and now she's still
persecuting me, because
she knows where Clive
really belongs, that's why.
My phone is in meltdown.
Local press have got
wind of an arrest.
Half of them are camped outside.
Is it true you're questioningthe ex-wife for the abduction?
What gives you the impressionthat Clive still loves--
Well, thank you
for the update.
I've been quite busy.
I should be told of
all major developments.
This is a major development.- No?
Yeah.
Your final answer?
There's a lot of speculationflying about at this stage.
Well, unless you giveme something to work with,
it's going to be all over
the airwaves as well.
Or shall I just put
the call straight
through to the incident room?
To the horses mouth?
Richard, no names yet.
Thank you for your support.
I'm not going to
talk to her like that.
You've been up to yourold tricks again, Mrs. Wray.
Attacking property, threatening
Clive and his family.
Second family.
We've been reading some of themessages you've been sending.
Your life won't be worth living.
You're a slut, and her
brat can rot in hell.
This all started up again afterhe brought Sammy around, yeah?
What did he expect?
I hated that child.
Hated?
You think he's still alive?
Yes.
Luke Stafford, bit
of a button, and he
went to All Saints High School,same school as Sarah Wray.
[phone ringing]
CS Shap.
Oh, hiya, Kim.
No, it's Tony, yourfiance's better half here.
No, love, you've
just missed him.
OK.All systems go for tonight?
I can't wait.
I'll tell him.
All right then, bye.
Maybe we should
postpone the party?
Everyone's flat out.
No way, mate, after the lastfew days, we all need a chance
to get totally hammered.
A week last Saturday, youwere working, then what?
Shift finishes at 4:00 AM, Iget in half past, slept through
till 5:00ish that afternoon.
So you didn't see Luke forthe best part of 20 odd hours?
I needed it.
I just got off when thebloody builders rolled up.
Yeah, and you're
never shut up about it.
What time did you get up?
Don't know.
The rest of the
day, what then?
Here, probably.
Because you've been in abit of bother, haven't you?
Vandalism, assault. Does itmake you feel big, does it?
Knocking someone about.
Do you get balls out
of hurting people?
Pack it in.
How well do you
know Sarah Wray?
We're mates.
Has she said anythingto you about the abduction
of her half brother?
- No.
Nothing?
Said you lot went round there.
And that's all?
You don't [inaudible]
round of you.
Yes.
There's nothing for you here.
OK.
Listen, have we got thatwarrant for Claire Wray's house?
Yeah.DS BUTCHERS: Meet me there.
That's great.
Thanks.
It needs sensitive handling.
Well, you're good at that.
You still up for
the party tonight?
Yeah.
Are you coming?
Doubt it.
Boss, Luke Stafford andSarah Wray are best mates.
He's got a history
of violent behavior,
and he lives next door
to the murder scene.
She's got a reason to
want rid of Sammy Wray.
What you saying?
Well, it's a pact.
She does Sammy and he
doesn't have a child.
Their kids.
Or he was going after Sammy,but he got the wrong kid.
Oh, come on.
Boss, you want
to see her room.
Full of chiller DVDs andstuff about death and pain.
Sick stuff.
She's 15.
Hello.
Bernard Cohen, purple
ink, crap poetry.
I know you sprang fullyformed, but the rest of us
have been there.
I'm not pullingjuveniles in on the basis
of a freaking DVD collection.
Can you put either Sarah
or Luke at the park?
Not yet, but I can try.
Oh, right, I thought you wereotherwise engaged this evening?
Boss, none of the
witnesses picked
Claire Wray out of the lineup.
OK, release her.
We have no evidence
that Claire's involved.
The reconstruction startsat 1 o'clock tomorrow.
And?
Was that it?
We go through the whole
thing for the cameras
just so you can
plaster over the news.
There are still some witnesseswe haven't managed to talk to.
I'm hoping they'll come forward,but you don't need to be there.
We don't need to make thisany harder than it has to be.
Oh, no, we'll be there.
When you first told usthat you'd found him, when we
believed he was dead,
it was so raw and dark,
I couldn't breathe.
But this, this is worse.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what's
happening to him.
I watch the clock and I counthis hours, and I'm not there.
I should be there.
Pete?
Can you pull around?
Something's come up.
Hiya.
I thought you meant work.
It's work related.
Hiya.
Hi, Boss.
Next ones on me.
Whatever these guys wantand something for yourself.
Great.
You want to get her name
down for "Wife Swap."
She'd be perfect.
You need a top off, Boss?
Thanks.
Go on then, Butchers,
which one is she?
The one--
In pink.
Millie, Millie, we had a[inaudible] called Millie once.
Is it short for something?
Milicent?
It's Emily actually.
Oh.
You don't use Emily for work.
You know who you are,
maybe a bit more--
Same again?
Will you do the honors?
Thanks.
I think you've had enough.
Piss off.
More what?
Sorry?
How long have you
two been an item?
He acts like it's
a trade secret.
You're not married to awoman or something, are you?
God, no.
Are you?
What?
So what made you
pop the question?
Were you pissed or what?
I don't remember.
It was news to me.
Bad news.
But you still went aheadand stoned up for a ring?
Well, I--
You tight git.
You made her pay
for her own ring?
Only till my
salary comes through.
What am I going to do?
Leave it with me.
I'll have a quiet word.
Tony.
It's sorted, trust me.
I never took you
for a party animal.
Living large, Louise,
that's what I say.
Got to show 'em we're human.
The team respects you, Janine.
That's hard to win
but easily lost.
You know you're never
really off duty.
You have to set the tone.
Lead by example.
It can be tricky knowing
where to draw the line.
A case like this is hard
on everyone involved.
You can say that again.
We're all working our ballsoff and getting nowhere.
And there's me, telling theparents of a missing 3-year-old
there's still no news, and itmakes me wonder, if, you know,
maybe I've dome something wrong.
Maybe I can't hack it anymore.
I'm just in this job becauseit's all I've ever done.
You.
No.
If I feel like that,
how am I supposed
to keep up morale for that lot?
[yelling]
Come on, Boss.
You haven't had any cake yet.
We need to get in quick.
[DRUNKEN SINGING]
Regrets, I've had a few.
I've had a few actually.
Then again, too many to mention.
I did what I had to do and sawit through without exemption.
I planned each chartedcourse, each careful step.
Done it my way, more than
this, I did it my way.
[SINGING] Regrets, I'vehad a few, but then again--
I can arrange a few
more, if you like.
OK.
We've now got detailedstatements from the Staffords,
McAvoy, Breeley, [inaudible]the whole of Kendell Avenue,
plus testimony from Royal Mailstaff, meter readers, window
cleaners, Avon lady, the works.
That little lot needscorrelating and mapping out.
Someone put that childthere, they weren't observed.
When did they get the chance?
Late night, Butchers?
I brought in Luke
Stafford and Sarah Wray.
They were at Luke's houselast Saturday afternoon.
That's where she went
after the hockey match,
and Luke failed to mention it.
And?
And they could've gone tothe park and taken Sammy.
They're downstairs.
We hung out
together, that's all.
We just stayed at his house.
You ever go out at all?
No.
The boy is out of control.
You don't know
anything about him.
Please, Mrs. Wray.
Can we just hear what
Sarah's got to say?
Luke's mom died, and hisdad won't even say her name.
It's like she never existed.
He gets down, and so he getsangry, and he gets into fights.
That's all.
How far does he go?
Has he ever really hurt anyone?
No.
It's just a scrap.
Usually someone
who's getting at him.
Mostly he just talks
about killing himself,
because his life
isn't worth living.
I know only too well
how great a loss can be.
Please, be quiet.
No.
No, it's not the same.
Dad left you, but
he left me too.
You just made it harder.
He wanted to see me, but
you made it impossible.
Has anyone ever asked
you what you wanted?
I missed him so much.
He'd gone and then
you took pills.
What if I hadn't
found you in time?
Did you ever even think of that?
What it was like for me?
I'm so sick of it.
I just want it all to stop.
Why didn't you tell us thatSarah had come to your house
that afternoon?
You just asked me where I was.
Luke, can you help us?
Do you know anything about themurder or Sammy's abduction?
No.
How can you think that?
We won't get any surpriseswhen our DNA tests come back.
No.
Look, is Sarah all right?
Yes, she's fine.
Thanks very much for your help.
Could you just wait outsidefor a moment, please?
Hold on, please.
These problems that Luke'sbeen having, they started
after your wife's death?
He took it hard.
You tried talking to him?
Get any help?
There's no point
in dwelling on it.
So you did nothing?
Are you aware of the
fact that Luke's been
struggling with depression?
He;s had suicidal thoughts.
Oh, God.
I got it all wrong, didn't I?
I'm a Detective
Chief Inspector,
not a bloody family therapist.
You drag them in there,
forcing me away from two
critical investigations.
You latched onto the wholeteenaged killer theory
because it was
easier than dealing
with your personal stuff.
Now, we've all done
it, but it cocks
things up here and at home.
It's all off.
Why doesn't that surprise me?
Happy?
She was a bit of a slapper.
And you're a prat.
I want to review your
original statements,
see how objective they are.
[very high pitch talking]
Ken Stafford's
second statement.
Saturday, back from
the night shift,
just got off to sleep whenthe builders start up.
Luke said his dad
complained about it.
Initial door to doortestimony from Ken Stafford.
Don't see them for
days, then they
turn up at the crack of dawn.
Lazy builders?
On the job before daylight?
It's the builders we
should be talking to.
It's the bloody builders.
Breeley's car broke downon a Friday afternoon,
AA were called out, MandyBreeley was driving.
Yeah, he was fixing that carwhen we first went round there.
If it was Breeley, andthat car was out of action,
he'd have had to use hiswork van to take the body
to the drainage tunnel.
From?
Right.
If Breeley or McAvoy
did kill the child,
could they have gone
on to snatch Sammy,
hidden him somewhere too?
Breeley's wife said he was withher all Saturday afternoon.
Yeah, there's no oneto alibi McAvoy for that.
No one?
No, home in front of
the telly, a few beers.
Lives alone?
No family?
What?
That makes it any more likely?
Just no one to
keep tabs on him.
Has its advantages.
Breeley's been off sick.
Which sites has McAvoy
been working at?
Find out.
We need to search them.
Let's get cracking on this.
Richard.
Is this about last night?
The glacial tone, the moodystare, did I pop your balloon?
No, you were [inaudible]to Millie last night.
You could barely say her name.
Millie?
Patronizing her,
sticking your nose in.
Or maybe you can't
remember that.
It was just before you madea right prat of yourself
with your "X Factor" routine.
OK, so will you callhim and then let me know?
Thanks, Jeff.
Yeah, no probs.
Speak to you later.
Bye.
We've had a break.
Stafford's statement puts oneof the buildings at the scene
early that Saturday morning.
Who?
It is too early toeliminate either of them yet.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Yeah, you could issue
a statement saying
new information has givenus some positive new leads,
and that I'm very hopeful.
That true?
Nope.
I feel like I'm smashing my headagainst a brick wall actually,
but that doesn't scan so well.
Well, I could
dig around a bit.
Do an archive search.
Yeah, thanks.
The Wray's are still set onattending the reconstruction.
They want to feel involved.
[phone ringing]
I'll see you there.
Millie Saunders.
We have a witness whoplaces you at Kendell Avenue
much earlier.
That can't be me.
I didn't get there till 9:00.
You the first?
Yeah.
When did Breeley show?
Just after.
Do you think he had
something to do with it?
You're the one in
the interview room.
That's rubbish, that is.
I was the one who reported it.
On the flood anyway.
Now why would I do that?
You tell me.
You're a true crime
fan, am I right?
Yeah.
You'll know then,
there are some people
who attract particularattention in a murder inquiry.
Family, close friends.
Also, the last person
to see the victim
alive, the one who
discovers the body.
Anyone showing an excessiveamount of interest in the case,
and a person who returnsto the scene of the crime.
Three out of four.
Ma'am?
We've got a good turn out.
But what if this doesn't work?
I mean, how much longer--
We're doing everything we can.
I promise.
The glasses' screw.
We thought it was Sammy's,but turn it on its head.
What if it's the killer's?
McAvoy wears glasses.
We've still got his.
Richard, when we spoke toJoe Breeley at his house,
there were photos on the wall.
Was he wearing glasses
in some of them?
I think he was.
Can you remember?
You've not got your
glasses, Mr. Breeley.
He lost them.
When was that then?
I don't know,
I can't remember.
Well, you didn't have
them the first time
we came around, so before then?
We found optical glass onthe pavement at Kendell Avenue,
and a glasses screw inside thesheet the child was wrapped in.
Now, if you've lost yourglasses, were they broken?
Maybe they're in the van.
It's just outside,
can I have a look?
No, no, mate.
You don't need to do that.
What?
It won't take a minute.
Clear this up.
They're not in there.
What's wrong?
Leave it.
Leave it.
- What's wrong?
- Just leave the van.
Come here.
Breeley, just relax.
Joseph Breeley, I'm arrestingyou under suspicion of murder.
Mandy!
You don't have
to say anything.
Mandy!
You may have [inaudible].
Mandy!
Something which you
later rely on in court.
Anything you do say may
be given in evidence.
Just relax.
The screw most
have worked loose
and dropped into the sheet.
Later, as you were
moving the body,
your lens fell out and broke.
They're not mine.
Come on, Joe, we canidentify the prescription
from the fragments.
They'll match.
There's plenty more
where that came from.
We got your clothes,
we got your DNA.
You probably find
traces of me everywhere.
I worked there.
Right, you went to
work early in the van.
You put the little boy
in the drainage tunnel,
left, and then
came back at 9:00.
What happened, Joe?
Who's the little boy?
Janine, look at this.
Joe Breeley had a
little brother, Gary.
Joe was looking after himwhen the toddler died.
He fell down some steps,
fractured his skull.
They ruled accidental death,though they were remiss.
Did he fall or was he pushed?
Exactly.
Joe was 10 at the time.
What happened this
time, another accident?
Someone out there is worriedsick because their little boy
is missing.
You're a father, imagine that.
What that little
boy needs a name,
but we need to find out
what happened to him.
He's in our mortuary.
That's no place for him.
He needs your help.
Who is he, Joe?
- He's my son.
My son.
My little boy.
And he's dead.
Is he losing it or what?
Has he got another kid?
Well, there's
the baby and John.
I've just put John
down for his nap.
Oh my God.
Mandy went out Fridayafternoon, car broke down,
you were left alone
with the boys.
It were an accident.
I just wanted him to
stop messing about.
He was having a
tantrum, kicking out,
chucking his food
all over the place,
screaming his little head off.
I pick him up--
You Shook him?
Put him down [inaudible],,he goes backwards
hard against the wall.
Then he's quiet.
She wouldn't let him go.
She stayed with him all night.
But I had to--
So then, you went
out and took Sammy.
Mandy.
Interview suspended.
Richard, Mandy Breeley's gone.
She's taken the kids with her.
How long?
About 10 minutes,according to the neighbors.
can you talk to Joe Breeley,see if he knows where she is,
where she might be headed?
And can you stick Lisa on?
Hello?
Circulate details?
Yeah.
Lisa, map out aradius, possible distance
traveled, time projections.
She's got about 10 minutes.
OK.
Joe, Mandy's gone missing.
What?
What about Connor?
She's taken him and Sammy.
We're very concerned
for their safety.
Where would she go.
You'll take Connor off
her, you'll charge her.
I can't do that to them.
Look, what if
something happens?
What if something goes wrong?
No.
If you help us, Joe, itwill be taken into account.
I don't care about that.
Christ, you think that matters?
We need to speak
to her friends.
Perhaps she's left
the kids with someone,
asked somebody for help.
Joe.
They're on my phone.
Have someone inform
the Wray's now.
Speak to the bank, get them toget in touch with us the minute
she starts using
her credit cards.
What about her mobile phone?
Well, I've contacted
the mobile network
and their going to logany calls that she's made.
- Did you call in [inaudible].
- No.
30 minutes, Boss, She's
Somewhere in this area.
Most likely on the motorway.
Cameras should pick her up.
Butchers, get onto that.
Shap, we need a negotiator.
Get onto the National
Crime faculty,
see if we can have apsychologist standing by,
advise us on how to play it.
- Right, Boss.
- Are customs on board?
- Yes, Boss.
Social Services?
Will do.
We could go public.
Breaking news.
I could get us a be
on the lookout for.
That'd freak her.
No, go for it.
Newsroom, please?
Yeah, Millie Saunders, GMP.
Boss, [inaudible]?
Boss, she's on the phone.
She's using the phone now.
Who she calling?
Mandy?
MANDY: Joe, I wanted
to say goodbye.
I had to go.
I'm sorry.
No.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault. It's all myfault. Just come home, yeah?
Come back, please, babes?
MANDY: I love you, Joe.
Remember that.
I love you.
We can work something out.
Just come home.
We can sort this out.
MANDY: It's too late.
I'm sorry.
Mandy, no, don't.
Mandy?
Mandy?
Cameras have got her, Boss.
Where?
M62 West, just past Warrington.
She's heading for Liverpool.
Mandy's traveling
towards Liverpool.
We believe she might be headingfor the airport or the port.
Where she Going Have
you got family abroad?
Place that's special?
What's going to
happen to Connor?
I don't know,
but let's just try
and get him back safely, yeah?
She'd never hurt him.
She's grieving, she's lost achild and taken a replacement.
She knows we've arrested you.
When things look bad,
it can sometimes feel
like there's only one way out.
Are you prepared to take
that risk with Sammy?
With Connor?
Island.
We used to go and she
her cousins in Waxford.
We used to talk
about moving there.
How'd you usually get thee?
On the ferry.
We should be with
you in about 30.
Mandy Breeley could be volatile.
She's grief stricken and shemay be feeling desperate.
Let her board, but try notto do anything to spook her.
Can you ask your guys
not to approach her?
Hold off sailing.
Yep.
Here.
Stop there.
Hiya, DCI Lewis.
We've done a discreet search.
She's on deck 5.
Thanks.
Coast Guard is standing by.
No negotiator as yet.
Social workers are on the way.
I've met her before,
she might talk to me.
Mandy, are you all right?
Go away.
It's all right.
It's over Mandy.
It's over.
You need to come with us.
We know about John.
He's fine.
Aren't you love?
We're both fine,
just leave us alone.
That's not John.
That's Sammy, and he's
sad and he's frightened
and he misses his mom.
I don't know what
you're going on about.
That's Sammy, isn't it?
Mandy, Joe told us what he did.
It did dredge it all up again.
What's the chance of
it happening twice?
You'd never believe me.
I told the truth oncebefore and it fell apart.
His brother, now his son.
No.
It's not like that.
Tell me.
I wanted to get an
ambulance, to get help,
but he wasn't moving.
I went to see
what Gary was up to.
The cellar door was open.
Our Gary had never
opened it before.
The light was broke.
It was really dark.
I got my torch.
Our Gary wasn't
scared of the dark.
I didn't want to go down there.
He just snapped.
He's not a bad man.
He has a temper but
he's not a bad man.
I was late back.
Joe said we'd lose it all.
With his brother,
it was different.
It was an accident, andthey still put him in care.
His mom left him.
My mom's eyes and herface, she never spoke to me.
I was 10 years old.
Blame and hate, that's
what the truth got me,
and it never brought
our Gary back.
Imagine you could
bring John back,
you can do that for
Sammy's mom and dad
because you know what it's like.
Come on.
I loved my son.
I loved him.
Please, come on.
Come on, Sammy.
Come on.
That's it, sweetheart.
That's it.
That's it.
Hello, Sammy.
Come on, Mandy, come on.
He'll need a bottle
in an hour or so.
There's a change of clothesin his bag, and his Teddy.
He likes squash and apricots.
I love you.
Come on.
Come on, Mandy.
Come on, Sweetheart.
Here you go, baby.
That's it, sweetie.
There we are.
That's my boy.
They think they'll
prosecute her?
It's hard to tell.
I'm not pushing for it.
She'd be better off
raising that baby.
And Breeley?
He caused John's
death, covered it up,
put his son's body
in a drainage tunnel.
If he'd come clean, it mighthave been different, but--
Hey, you.
Hi.
You give us five minutes?
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Great copy.
Thanks.

What is my type?
You'll be late.
