Chasing Shadows (2014): Season 1, Episode 2 - Only Connect: Part 2 - full transcript
Stone and Inspector Prior discover Ruth, who has been knocked out by 'Leanne' who is a man and Stone deduces that he lures teen-agers to their deaths and make them appear to be suicides. Stone notes that sites where corpses were found and Ruth attacked are owned by a property company and visits their housing project, finding runaway Chloe Amos. She says that she was squatting in the building but was attacked by a man she disturbed and who escaped in a car, which Stone partially identifies. He is carpeted for his rude, unorthodox manner but traces the car to the company's security firm and John Meadows, who he is convinced is the murderer. Meadows is arrested but 'Leanne' posts another message, making Stone and Ruth realize that Meadows has an accomplice, who must be found in order to save Taylor.
If we had treated each
woman as part of a pattern
Carol Taft would still be alive.
You're finished, DS Stone.
Hi, I'm Ruth Hattersley. I believe
we're going to be working together.
Do you have a husband?
Look on the bright side.
What's that?
You got to ride with me.
Why didn't we travel together?
I think while I drive.
He's there on the floor
with a rope round his neck.
We need to focus on Taylor Davis.
We think Taylor might be in very
real danger.
What's his name?
Aaron Scobie.
I hardly knew her.
Stop lying!
Has it never occurred to you that
sometimes other people might have
something valuable to offer?
No.
It's Chloe.
Someone's took her.
Lucas, Kieran Gandley and Taylor
Davis have one friend in common,
Leanne.
Ruth?
RUTH: Help! help me!
Ruth!
Ruth, where are you?
Carl?
No, no, no, no.
(GROANS)
Ruth, are you OK?
Are you OK? Are you all right?
Leanne's a man.
Did you see his face?
I'm fine, Sean, thanks for asking.
Yes, but did you see his face?
(PANTING) He wore a mask.
You're supposed to be the
sensible one. Why're you
coming here on your own?
He made contact with me
on the suicide website.
He befriends, abducts, then kills
unhappy teenagers, makes it look like
suicide.
I'm gonna need all the messages
Leanne sent you on the site.
I'm upgrading the Taylor Davis
Inquiry to aggravated abduction.
As I told you on the telephone,
Griffiths Doyle Construction are no
longer trading.
We were appointed official receivers
four months ago.
I think a missing girl is being held
in one of their empty buildings.
Have you got access to their
electronic records?
What there was of them. It depends
exactly what you're looking for.
Employee lists, details of every site
that remains empty.
That may take a while, unless you
fancy trawling through box after box
of hard copies.
Where are they?
Be my guest.
How's the head?
It's fine.
I couldn't wait to come to work.
We'll talk about yesterday later.
For now,
there are more urgent matters.
Taylor Davis.
DS Stone.
DI Prior has made a complaint
about his conduct.
And we need you to
corroborate a few things.
Aside from anything else,
Miss Hattersley,
whatever you did or
didn't do yesterday,
you're a civilian.
And as a serving police officer,
DS Stone has a
duty of care towards you.
Actually...
it was as much my fault as Sean's.
We just had a difference of opinion.
About what?
Alternative approaches
to eliciting information.
You mean his growing inability
to interact with other human beings?
Ruth, there's no need
to be politic here.
No, no, no. It's just er...
Look...I don't really know Sean yet.
Maybe it just takes him time to
establish a line of communication
and...
Do you know where he is now?
No.
Has he made any attempt to work
collaboratively with you?
Look, Ruth, we need
to respond to this.
So you'll have to make a statement.
(RINGING TONE)
(PHONE RINGS)
Where are you?
You said you weren't going to phone
to ask where I am.
Where?
Millview.
Oh, er...how is it?
What?
Your...your head.
Um, it's...fine.
"Millview is a superior collection of
21st-century family homes, far from
the madding crowd."
I don't understand what you're
talking about.
Griffiths Doyle Construction owned
the shopping centre where you met
Leanne
and the print works where
Kieran Gandley was found,
and, I found out last night, the
office block where Lucas Storey died.
If the pattern is right, Taylor Davis
will be in one of their properties.
So whoever's posing as Leanne worked
for the construction company?
Yes, of course.
That's why I'm waiting on a list of
employees for the last 12 months.
And Millview? Is on a list of empty
Griffiths Doyle sites.
Have you phoned Carl?
Of course you haven't.
I'll phone him.
Just don't do...
(LINE GOES DEAD)
..anything stupid.
(DOOR SLAMS, FOOTSTEPS RUNNING)
(CAR ENGINE REVS)
(TYRES SCREECH)
Taylor!
Taylor?
Chloe Amos?
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
You're going to be OK.
You just need to rest now.
What are you doing?
Be specific. Why are you standing
this close to me?
Because I want to go in there
and you're in the way.
TANNOY: Dr Langford, you have a
visitor in main reception.
Dr Langford, a visitor in main
reception.
You can't talk to her yet.
I have to.
She was concussed,
I got nothing out of her.
She is not ready to be interviewed
by anybody. Why, did you sedate her?
So you've met DS Stone.
I'm DI Prior, we spoke on the phone.
I'll tell you what I told him:
Chloe's in a fragile state and I
can't allow you or any of your
team...
Yeah, we understand that.
I don't.
Speak to our Forensics Officer
about physical evidence.
How is she? This is Ruth Hattersley,
Missing Persons.
Apart from a slight concussion
and a few abrasions,
she's in pretty good shape -
physically at least.
As for anything else...
She needs rest.
We're trying to get hold of her mum,
that should help.
The car - did you get the number
plate? Not all of it.
We need details of every grey Ford
Focus with the suffix WKX
that could have possibly been in the
area, after we speak to Chloe.
The Doctor says you can't speak to
Chloe. Well, he's gone.
Did Taylor's mother
identify that red anorak?
Yeah, it's Taylor's.
We're arranging an appeal.
That was the killer driving away.
If Taylor was with him, it's already
too late.
Finding Chloe Amos was a great
result. Absolutely.
But we don't know
what she's been through.
She doesn't fit. No profile on the
suicide website, no marks on the
neck...
Chloe's not data, Sean -
she's a victim.
We're trying to find out
how to talk to her.
There isn't time for appeals or
medical advice.
The killer won't use a Griffiths
Doyle site again and if Taylor...
Hey!
Taylor...
Hey!
Hold up! That's not Taylor! That's
not Taylor! Where is she, then?
Where is she?
Take him in.
Was that the man, Chloe?
Um, I dunno.
I'm not letting you in there,
DS Stone.
Are you not gonna ask if she
recognised him?
I just did. He wore a mask.
We're going to talk to Scobie and
then we'll come back and talk to
Chloe, so...
Why were you at the hospital today,
Aaron?
I heard you found a girl.
You heard?
Well, how d'you hear that?
It's all over the internet, no names
but... You already knew who you were
gonna see.
You thought you could at least scare
Chloe Amos before she got to speak
to us, right?
I thought it was Taylor.
Where did you pick Chloe up, Aaron?
I've never seen her before.
I thought it was Taylor.
And where were you at noon today?
At work, till one. Phone and check.
I will. We've got forensics at your
address and they've been at Millview
for hours.
What's Millview?
Don't lie to me, Aaron.
I'm not!
You've got no idea where she is,
have you? Have you?
If I had, why would I be following
you around trying to see her?
What are you doing
just sitting there?
You should be out looking for her!
You're in love with her, aren't you?
Stop wasting time with
me and find Taylor!
You should stop now, Inspector.
MAN: Is it a specific vehicle?
SEAN: Yes, I've already explained
this, you own a dark grey Ford Focus,
SG08 WKX...
We are a leasing company.
Yes.
I'm aware you are, I need to know
who that vehicle is currently leased
to.
I'll have to check our records.
How long will that take?
I'll call your office.
No, on the mobile number I gave you.
What?
Sean, it's Angela Bale.
I sent you an email.
You were instructed to be in my
office at 3:30.
You are currently 35 minutes late.
Well, I only open emails related to
cases, the rest are never important.
Believe me, this is important.
They said I could talk to you for a
few minutes...
if that's OK with you?
I'm Ruth. I'm from Missing Persons.
We're still trying to reach your
mum.
(SCOFFS)
Chloe...
we believe that
the man who took you...
has taken at least three other young
people... and killed two of them.
We really need your help in trying
to find him before he kills again.
Were you aware of anyone else being
held in the house at the same time
as you?
No.
But I wasn't taken.
I was squatting there.
I had been for ages.
I never saw anyone.
That was after
the row with your mum?
Yes.
It's near the flats I grew up in...
when my dad was alive.
Were those happier times?
I was happy enough
until a few days ago.
Then I heard a sound.
I went downstairs but...
I couldn't see anyone.
And then I got hit...hard.
I remember being on the floor,
being dragged...
..and then the door locking.
And he just left you there?
He came back a few times,
untied me to let me drink and eat
and...stuff.
He was there just before
that weird policeman came.
And you never saw his face?
He hardly even spoke.
And he...
he didn't do anything else to you?
Oh...no.
Oh, we were looking for you.
Yeah, I'm working at the moment.
I ran most of the way here,
soon as I got your messages!
Chloe...
Get your hands off me.
A lot's changed since
I last saw you last.
I've changed, yeah?
No more drugs,
no more drink, I promise!
I thought you'd never come back.
I didn't come back.
I was found.
Chloe, please, we can sort this...
No. It's too late.
I thought you were dead.
As far as you're concerned...
..I am.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Ruth, they're here.
Donna.
All set?
Yes.
Sophie?
What's she doing here?
Where's Graham?
Graham's gone.
Gone? Gone where?
Tell her what you told me.
Tell her why Graham's gone.
He thinks Tay ran off
cos she couldn't stand him.
And why would he think that?
Cos that's what I told him.
He came to see me after college.
He wanted to know why Tay had gone.
And I lied.
Why?
Cos the truth is so pathetic.
We both liked him...
really liked him.
Graham?
No, Aaron Scobie.
And I saw Tay's ring
around his neck...
..and I felt sick.
I was so jealous of her and...
and I told Tay that Aaron thought
she was a joke and she believed me.
And I'm so sorry.
If anything's happened to her,
it's all my fault.
Mrs Davis, if you'd like to wait in
here with Sophie? Ruth will be with
you soon.
Liar! You lied.
What are you talking about?
I've been given a warning.
I didn't lie, Sean. They asked some
questions, I told them the truth.
You told me you were here to help me.
You talked about building trust.
Then you went to a secret meeting,
signed a complaint and didn't even
tell me. You're a liar!
OK, nobody's lied, OK? It wasn't
secret, Sean. Let me explain.
You can't lie!
I'm not lying, Sean!
I'm it! Do you understand?
They want you out.
There's no one else at Mispers
who will work with you.
This is your chance, it's mine...
Who wants me out?
If your way is so infallible...
then where is she?
Where is she? Where's Taylor Davis?
You can't lie.
Yeah, I'm sure you've all got things
you can be doing right now.
(EXHALES)
I guess it had to be said,
didn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, listen, ordinarily it would be
around now that I'd suggest a drink
after the appeal.
Right.
Well, it's around now
that I should probably explain
that chief amongst my talents is an
unerring ability to choose
completely the wrong men...
..one too many of whom
have been police officers.
DONNA: If you've seen Taylor, even
if you only think you've seen her,
please call the police.
And if you're holding her...
..if Taylor is with you now,
I'm begging you, let her come home
to me.
I miss her so, so much.
If you're watching this, Tay...
we love you, princess...
we all love you...
And there is nothing, nothing on
this planet that we can't work
out...
..as long as you're safe.
Tay...
..we've been best friends forever
and we're always there for each
other.
And I miss you so...much.
I have done for ages.
There's loads I want to tell you.
(GIRL WHIMPERS)
But we just need you back first.
People really love you, Tay.
(WHIMPERS)
More people than you know
and more than you know.
She's loved, so don't hurt her.
Please, just don't hurt her...
Sean?
I'm dropping off the shopping
and the ironing.
Are you home?
I would have been earlier
but Gabby was late coming out of
school again.
You are home.
Do eight-years-old have boyfriend?
Is that even allowed?
I don't want to think about it.
(SIGHS)
What is it about the dishwasher
that baffles you, Sean?
OK, now, I don't have time
to make food for you tonight...
..so you'll have to make do with a
microwave.
But I'm making curry at home.
And I always make too much, so maybe
tomorrow I can bring you some.
Would you like that?
You could at least
take off your coat.
(PHONE BUZZES)
Shall I make a hot drink?
She lied.
Everybody lies, Sean.
I don't.
Well, everybody except you.
And you.
Yeah, but I lie twice as much to
everybody else to make up for when
I'm with you.
Does it have to be the airing
cupboard?
They er...want me out.
They need you.
What if they don't?
This girl you were looking for,
you didn't find her?
She is the only thing that matters
to you, Sean.
And you know that.
(PHONE BUZZES)
Hello?
Er...Mr Stone there?
Yes...this is Sean's phone.
It's David.
Mr...
David.
Davide?
Just a second, Davide.
Right.
He... he's back.
Yes?
Hello, Mr Stone.
You er..called about one of our
cars.
Lease car.
That will be a grey Compact,
registration SG08 WKX.
Is that the one?
The Focus, yes.
Here we are,
grey Ford Focus SG08 WKX.
Leased to Servius Security.
What?
Servius Security.
Servius Security?
That's right.
I'll get the details up for you.
I can tell you that, yes,
that car is definitely one of ours.
Yes, I told you that.
So who was driving it this lunchtime?
That I don't know. It's a pool car
and it wasn't signed out at that
particular time.
It should still be in the car
park but I don't think it is...
So one of your people could have
taken it without signing for it?
Well, it's possible but...
It was at Millview at noon today.
It's more than possible.
You think it's got something to do
with the girl they found?
Your contract with Griffiths Doyle,
did it cover all their properties?
As well as Millview, you're
responsible for securing the shopping
centre
where a woman was attacked,
the print works where Gandley's body
was found and the empty offices where
Storey died.
Do you know how many sites
we're responsible for?
108.
And I want details of
every empty property on your books.
The man who found Kieran...
John Meadows?
Does he have access to all the sites
I just mentioned?
Yeah, along with a fair few other
people. Why?
He'd also have access to the Focus?
Again, with others.
I want their names, timesheets
and where they all are right now.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(RINGING TONE)
MEADOWS: Clive, everything all
right?
Yeah. Where are you, son?
What, right now?
Just checking the brewery, then I'm
clocking off and going home.
Why, some overtime going?
No, no, it's nothing.
I'll... I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Night.
Yeah, night.
(HAMMERING AT WINDOW)
He should be back at his place
in about 20 minutes.
And now the other four, please.
(RINGS)
Prior.
You need to pick up five security
guards and take them in for
questioning.
I knew you going quiet was a bad
sign. Why?
The pattern was right but I read it
wrong.
It's not the construction company
we should look at, it's the security
firm.
Servius secures all the sites used by
the killer
and all five guards had access to
them and the Focus.
I've emailed you a list but look
hardest at John Meadows, he found
Kieran.
Run him through the system now.
Anything else?
Get Chloe Amos to the station first
thing. Chloe didn't see her attacker.
No, but she heard him.
And try Ruth Hattersley,
she won't answer my calls.
OK, leave it with me.
I need you to bring Chloe Amos to
the station first thing in the
morning.
John Meadows...John Meadows...
John Meadows.
(SIGHS)
Where were you at 12 noon yesterday?
Driving.
I have to cover about 20 sites.
Were you driving a dark grey Focus
owned by Servius around Millview?
Look, I was in my van as usual
and, no, I haven't been out there in
months.
So when we find the Focus - which we
will - there won't be any trace of
you in it?
Well, I do drive it, yeah.
Here he is, ma'am.
How's it going?
Be specific.
The interviews.
There's only three left -
timesheets ruled out the others.
Right, well...I've brought Chloe,
she's next door.
You found Kieran Gandley's body,
didn't you, at the print works?
Yeah, you see all sorts in this job.
There was another boy that was found
in a building that was slated for
demolition.
Lucas Storey.
Lucas Storey, it was about three
months ago? 211 Ringway?
It wouldn't surprise me.
You are aware of that site though,
right?
Yeah, sort of. We swap around.
Does the name "Leanne"
mean anything to you?
First girl's knickers I ever
saw...Leanne Spate.
What about the name "Taylor Davis"?
No.
Really? Wow.
See, that surprises me because
we have pamphlets and posters...
We did a whole TV thing.
You're not aware of Taylor Davis?
No.
Well, I guess that makes sense.
If you were aware of her,
you'd know she was only 16,
that she's been missing for six days
and that if you were involved,
I would get you.
Inspector, that's enough.
Is there anything else you'd like to
say to me at this point?
No.
OK.
Finally, I'm gonna ask you to read a
sentence.
Your voice would then be played
alongside two others in front of a
witness.
Is this something that you're happy
to do for me right now?
Yeah.
"Keep quiet and I won't hurt you."
Again.
"Keep quiet and I won't hurt you."
VOICE 2: "Keep quiet and I won't hurt
you."
VOICE 3: "Keep quiet and I won't
hurt you."
Do you recognise any of these
voices?
Erm...can I hear Number 2 again?
"Keep quiet and I won't hurt you."
You have to be sure, Chloe.
This will only help us if you're
sure.
It's definitely not 1.
It could be 2.
Or 3.
Or none of them.
I'm really sorry, I just...
There's no need to be.
Can I have a word please, Ruth.
Sure.
Just a minute.
I just wanted you to know that...
..I brought your earring back.
Oh, I wondered where I lost that.
Yeah, well, you know,
I wasn't sure if you wanted me to...
bring it in or whether
you wanted to come and pick it up.
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
That's all right.
OK, let's get you out of here.
My car's the green one.
Where are you dropping me?
At your mum's.
My mum's?
She's been phoning non-stop
to see how you are.
And where else are you gonna go?
(SIGHS)
Look, Chloe, when I was your age, my
mum and I, we couldn't stand the
sight of each other.
A week after my 17th birthday...
I'm 20.
..I ran off with a man
across the road.
Ian Peacock. He was 35.
We lasted two weeks,
I ended up on the streets.
Look at me now,
I'm living back with my mum again.
I'm not saying...
Did your mum...
used to invite men back into your
flat and then let them do whatever
they liked,
to both of you, when you was a kid?
While she's so off her face most of
the time, she barely knew you was
even there...
let alone that she was supposed to
be protecting you?
Was she?
Chloe!
Hello, Kay.
Hi, come in.
So, how is she?
She was really brave.
You should be proud of her.
Look, things happened that I'll
never be able to put right.
I know that.
I got the sense from Chloe that she
was happy once...when your husband
was alive?
Did she say that?
I suppose we were happy.
It's a bastard how you don't know
that till after.
I mean, we both went downhill
after Tony killed himself.
And it was my job to look after her
and...
..I didn't.
Here's your chance.
Thanks...for bringing her back.
That's all right.
It's my job. But it's up to you to
make her stay.
(DOOR OPENS)
OK.
We've been over everything, sir.
And you're 100 per cent?
Computer, van - the lot.
Sure?
Everything.
There's no trace of Taylor in
Meadow's van or apartment. Computer
and phone are both clean.
You have to hold him.
How?
I know it's John Meadows.
We will check every site on Servius
books until we find the one he's
moved her to.
He's Leanne. Let him leave and we'll
never find Taylor Davis.
Leanne's back online.
"The old Everfields shopping centre
at 4:30. OK, see you there.
U R next Ruth."
You are next, Ruth.
This way, Miss Hattersley.
I know where to go, thanks.
Anything?
Yeah.
An hour ago.
If Meadows is Leanne,
how did he do that?
I can't hold him, Sean.
Sean!
We can't follow him in two cars.
Look...
Look.
(WHISTLES) Meadows, yeah.
Cheers, mate.
Where's he going?
Just keep him in sight.
He'll lead us to Taylor.
Oh, Sean...
What?
They're Leanne, both of them!
They kill them together...
that's the pattern.
And I disturbed it at Millview.
That's why Chloe didn't fit.
They heard me outside, Chloe got
injured somehow - maybe by Taylor -
they knew they both couldn't get out,
so Chloe stayed.
The only reason John's still around
is they're going to kill Taylor
together.
So where are they going now?
What did she say to you?
What did Chloe say to you?
Why bother? She's a liar.
I'm an idiot.
Did she mention any places?
It was all lies.
Well, just think. Just talk.
You want me to talk?
Yes, just anything - areas,
places...
OK, there was her school,
she was expelled.
She lived with a friend
whose parents ran a pub.
There's the travellers' site near
the power station,
she used to go there.
Millview, obviously, she grew up
near there... No, she didn't.
Yes, yes, she did.
She didn't.
Oh, see, it was all lies!
Yes, but why lie about that unless
it matters?
She grew up in Crawford Tower,
as did three other mispers from my
office wall.
How do you know that?
It was one of the first patterns I
saw.
Crawford Tower's empty, isn't it?
It's only a few hundred yards
from Woolwich Station. Call Prior.
See if he's got a flat number.
CHLOE: So they know we know each
other, yeah?
If they had anything on us, they
wouldn't have released us, would
they?
But why push our luck?
It's not luck.
RUTH: OK, Carl. Thanks.
Flat 6. Guess where John Meadows
lived before his present address.
Crawford Tower.
Hey, Taylor Davis is their only
piece of actual evidence.
I know, but...
And it's what she wants.
Let's do it.
(WHIMPERS)
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
Chlo!
They're coming, Chlo!
What?
Just leave her, we need to go now!
No, stay!
Chloe, come on.
John, stay!
(TYRES SCREECH)
Stay back or I will cut her throat!
Taylor, she won't.
You don't know me!
That's not how they kill, they're
cowards. Say that again.
Please, Chloe. Don't make it worse.
Even worse?
You are pathetic. You know that?
You are weak.
Give her your car keys.
Right, now, you drop those...
You drop those, sweetheart, and I
will kill you.
Just think about what you're doing.
I know what I'm doing.
(SIRENS BLARE)
Just think about... Come on, Chloe.
Stay back!
You stay back or I'll cut her!
Chloe!
Oww!
Get your hands off me!
Get your hands off me!
Come on, you.
(GRUNTS)
(RUTH PANTS, TAYLOR WHIMPERS)
Chloe!
Chlo, Chlo!
What's going on?
Where they taking her?
Chloe's been arrested on suspicion
of abduction and grievous body harm.
No!
I'm so sorry.
What have you done?
Oh, Chloe...
I'm so sorry.
(SIREN BLARES)
I just need to get my bag.
How's your hand?
You don't need to ask if you don't
care, Sean.
How's your hand?
It'll be fine.
Thank you.
You want to go now, don't you?
Yes.
Are you offering me a lift?
Yes.
woman as part of a pattern
Carol Taft would still be alive.
You're finished, DS Stone.
Hi, I'm Ruth Hattersley. I believe
we're going to be working together.
Do you have a husband?
Look on the bright side.
What's that?
You got to ride with me.
Why didn't we travel together?
I think while I drive.
He's there on the floor
with a rope round his neck.
We need to focus on Taylor Davis.
We think Taylor might be in very
real danger.
What's his name?
Aaron Scobie.
I hardly knew her.
Stop lying!
Has it never occurred to you that
sometimes other people might have
something valuable to offer?
No.
It's Chloe.
Someone's took her.
Lucas, Kieran Gandley and Taylor
Davis have one friend in common,
Leanne.
Ruth?
RUTH: Help! help me!
Ruth!
Ruth, where are you?
Carl?
No, no, no, no.
(GROANS)
Ruth, are you OK?
Are you OK? Are you all right?
Leanne's a man.
Did you see his face?
I'm fine, Sean, thanks for asking.
Yes, but did you see his face?
(PANTING) He wore a mask.
You're supposed to be the
sensible one. Why're you
coming here on your own?
He made contact with me
on the suicide website.
He befriends, abducts, then kills
unhappy teenagers, makes it look like
suicide.
I'm gonna need all the messages
Leanne sent you on the site.
I'm upgrading the Taylor Davis
Inquiry to aggravated abduction.
As I told you on the telephone,
Griffiths Doyle Construction are no
longer trading.
We were appointed official receivers
four months ago.
I think a missing girl is being held
in one of their empty buildings.
Have you got access to their
electronic records?
What there was of them. It depends
exactly what you're looking for.
Employee lists, details of every site
that remains empty.
That may take a while, unless you
fancy trawling through box after box
of hard copies.
Where are they?
Be my guest.
How's the head?
It's fine.
I couldn't wait to come to work.
We'll talk about yesterday later.
For now,
there are more urgent matters.
Taylor Davis.
DS Stone.
DI Prior has made a complaint
about his conduct.
And we need you to
corroborate a few things.
Aside from anything else,
Miss Hattersley,
whatever you did or
didn't do yesterday,
you're a civilian.
And as a serving police officer,
DS Stone has a
duty of care towards you.
Actually...
it was as much my fault as Sean's.
We just had a difference of opinion.
About what?
Alternative approaches
to eliciting information.
You mean his growing inability
to interact with other human beings?
Ruth, there's no need
to be politic here.
No, no, no. It's just er...
Look...I don't really know Sean yet.
Maybe it just takes him time to
establish a line of communication
and...
Do you know where he is now?
No.
Has he made any attempt to work
collaboratively with you?
Look, Ruth, we need
to respond to this.
So you'll have to make a statement.
(RINGING TONE)
(PHONE RINGS)
Where are you?
You said you weren't going to phone
to ask where I am.
Where?
Millview.
Oh, er...how is it?
What?
Your...your head.
Um, it's...fine.
"Millview is a superior collection of
21st-century family homes, far from
the madding crowd."
I don't understand what you're
talking about.
Griffiths Doyle Construction owned
the shopping centre where you met
Leanne
and the print works where
Kieran Gandley was found,
and, I found out last night, the
office block where Lucas Storey died.
If the pattern is right, Taylor Davis
will be in one of their properties.
So whoever's posing as Leanne worked
for the construction company?
Yes, of course.
That's why I'm waiting on a list of
employees for the last 12 months.
And Millview? Is on a list of empty
Griffiths Doyle sites.
Have you phoned Carl?
Of course you haven't.
I'll phone him.
Just don't do...
(LINE GOES DEAD)
..anything stupid.
(DOOR SLAMS, FOOTSTEPS RUNNING)
(CAR ENGINE REVS)
(TYRES SCREECH)
Taylor!
Taylor?
Chloe Amos?
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
You're going to be OK.
You just need to rest now.
What are you doing?
Be specific. Why are you standing
this close to me?
Because I want to go in there
and you're in the way.
TANNOY: Dr Langford, you have a
visitor in main reception.
Dr Langford, a visitor in main
reception.
You can't talk to her yet.
I have to.
She was concussed,
I got nothing out of her.
She is not ready to be interviewed
by anybody. Why, did you sedate her?
So you've met DS Stone.
I'm DI Prior, we spoke on the phone.
I'll tell you what I told him:
Chloe's in a fragile state and I
can't allow you or any of your
team...
Yeah, we understand that.
I don't.
Speak to our Forensics Officer
about physical evidence.
How is she? This is Ruth Hattersley,
Missing Persons.
Apart from a slight concussion
and a few abrasions,
she's in pretty good shape -
physically at least.
As for anything else...
She needs rest.
We're trying to get hold of her mum,
that should help.
The car - did you get the number
plate? Not all of it.
We need details of every grey Ford
Focus with the suffix WKX
that could have possibly been in the
area, after we speak to Chloe.
The Doctor says you can't speak to
Chloe. Well, he's gone.
Did Taylor's mother
identify that red anorak?
Yeah, it's Taylor's.
We're arranging an appeal.
That was the killer driving away.
If Taylor was with him, it's already
too late.
Finding Chloe Amos was a great
result. Absolutely.
But we don't know
what she's been through.
She doesn't fit. No profile on the
suicide website, no marks on the
neck...
Chloe's not data, Sean -
she's a victim.
We're trying to find out
how to talk to her.
There isn't time for appeals or
medical advice.
The killer won't use a Griffiths
Doyle site again and if Taylor...
Hey!
Taylor...
Hey!
Hold up! That's not Taylor! That's
not Taylor! Where is she, then?
Where is she?
Take him in.
Was that the man, Chloe?
Um, I dunno.
I'm not letting you in there,
DS Stone.
Are you not gonna ask if she
recognised him?
I just did. He wore a mask.
We're going to talk to Scobie and
then we'll come back and talk to
Chloe, so...
Why were you at the hospital today,
Aaron?
I heard you found a girl.
You heard?
Well, how d'you hear that?
It's all over the internet, no names
but... You already knew who you were
gonna see.
You thought you could at least scare
Chloe Amos before she got to speak
to us, right?
I thought it was Taylor.
Where did you pick Chloe up, Aaron?
I've never seen her before.
I thought it was Taylor.
And where were you at noon today?
At work, till one. Phone and check.
I will. We've got forensics at your
address and they've been at Millview
for hours.
What's Millview?
Don't lie to me, Aaron.
I'm not!
You've got no idea where she is,
have you? Have you?
If I had, why would I be following
you around trying to see her?
What are you doing
just sitting there?
You should be out looking for her!
You're in love with her, aren't you?
Stop wasting time with
me and find Taylor!
You should stop now, Inspector.
MAN: Is it a specific vehicle?
SEAN: Yes, I've already explained
this, you own a dark grey Ford Focus,
SG08 WKX...
We are a leasing company.
Yes.
I'm aware you are, I need to know
who that vehicle is currently leased
to.
I'll have to check our records.
How long will that take?
I'll call your office.
No, on the mobile number I gave you.
What?
Sean, it's Angela Bale.
I sent you an email.
You were instructed to be in my
office at 3:30.
You are currently 35 minutes late.
Well, I only open emails related to
cases, the rest are never important.
Believe me, this is important.
They said I could talk to you for a
few minutes...
if that's OK with you?
I'm Ruth. I'm from Missing Persons.
We're still trying to reach your
mum.
(SCOFFS)
Chloe...
we believe that
the man who took you...
has taken at least three other young
people... and killed two of them.
We really need your help in trying
to find him before he kills again.
Were you aware of anyone else being
held in the house at the same time
as you?
No.
But I wasn't taken.
I was squatting there.
I had been for ages.
I never saw anyone.
That was after
the row with your mum?
Yes.
It's near the flats I grew up in...
when my dad was alive.
Were those happier times?
I was happy enough
until a few days ago.
Then I heard a sound.
I went downstairs but...
I couldn't see anyone.
And then I got hit...hard.
I remember being on the floor,
being dragged...
..and then the door locking.
And he just left you there?
He came back a few times,
untied me to let me drink and eat
and...stuff.
He was there just before
that weird policeman came.
And you never saw his face?
He hardly even spoke.
And he...
he didn't do anything else to you?
Oh...no.
Oh, we were looking for you.
Yeah, I'm working at the moment.
I ran most of the way here,
soon as I got your messages!
Chloe...
Get your hands off me.
A lot's changed since
I last saw you last.
I've changed, yeah?
No more drugs,
no more drink, I promise!
I thought you'd never come back.
I didn't come back.
I was found.
Chloe, please, we can sort this...
No. It's too late.
I thought you were dead.
As far as you're concerned...
..I am.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Ruth, they're here.
Donna.
All set?
Yes.
Sophie?
What's she doing here?
Where's Graham?
Graham's gone.
Gone? Gone where?
Tell her what you told me.
Tell her why Graham's gone.
He thinks Tay ran off
cos she couldn't stand him.
And why would he think that?
Cos that's what I told him.
He came to see me after college.
He wanted to know why Tay had gone.
And I lied.
Why?
Cos the truth is so pathetic.
We both liked him...
really liked him.
Graham?
No, Aaron Scobie.
And I saw Tay's ring
around his neck...
..and I felt sick.
I was so jealous of her and...
and I told Tay that Aaron thought
she was a joke and she believed me.
And I'm so sorry.
If anything's happened to her,
it's all my fault.
Mrs Davis, if you'd like to wait in
here with Sophie? Ruth will be with
you soon.
Liar! You lied.
What are you talking about?
I've been given a warning.
I didn't lie, Sean. They asked some
questions, I told them the truth.
You told me you were here to help me.
You talked about building trust.
Then you went to a secret meeting,
signed a complaint and didn't even
tell me. You're a liar!
OK, nobody's lied, OK? It wasn't
secret, Sean. Let me explain.
You can't lie!
I'm not lying, Sean!
I'm it! Do you understand?
They want you out.
There's no one else at Mispers
who will work with you.
This is your chance, it's mine...
Who wants me out?
If your way is so infallible...
then where is she?
Where is she? Where's Taylor Davis?
You can't lie.
Yeah, I'm sure you've all got things
you can be doing right now.
(EXHALES)
I guess it had to be said,
didn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, listen, ordinarily it would be
around now that I'd suggest a drink
after the appeal.
Right.
Well, it's around now
that I should probably explain
that chief amongst my talents is an
unerring ability to choose
completely the wrong men...
..one too many of whom
have been police officers.
DONNA: If you've seen Taylor, even
if you only think you've seen her,
please call the police.
And if you're holding her...
..if Taylor is with you now,
I'm begging you, let her come home
to me.
I miss her so, so much.
If you're watching this, Tay...
we love you, princess...
we all love you...
And there is nothing, nothing on
this planet that we can't work
out...
..as long as you're safe.
Tay...
..we've been best friends forever
and we're always there for each
other.
And I miss you so...much.
I have done for ages.
There's loads I want to tell you.
(GIRL WHIMPERS)
But we just need you back first.
People really love you, Tay.
(WHIMPERS)
More people than you know
and more than you know.
She's loved, so don't hurt her.
Please, just don't hurt her...
Sean?
I'm dropping off the shopping
and the ironing.
Are you home?
I would have been earlier
but Gabby was late coming out of
school again.
You are home.
Do eight-years-old have boyfriend?
Is that even allowed?
I don't want to think about it.
(SIGHS)
What is it about the dishwasher
that baffles you, Sean?
OK, now, I don't have time
to make food for you tonight...
..so you'll have to make do with a
microwave.
But I'm making curry at home.
And I always make too much, so maybe
tomorrow I can bring you some.
Would you like that?
You could at least
take off your coat.
(PHONE BUZZES)
Shall I make a hot drink?
She lied.
Everybody lies, Sean.
I don't.
Well, everybody except you.
And you.
Yeah, but I lie twice as much to
everybody else to make up for when
I'm with you.
Does it have to be the airing
cupboard?
They er...want me out.
They need you.
What if they don't?
This girl you were looking for,
you didn't find her?
She is the only thing that matters
to you, Sean.
And you know that.
(PHONE BUZZES)
Hello?
Er...Mr Stone there?
Yes...this is Sean's phone.
It's David.
Mr...
David.
Davide?
Just a second, Davide.
Right.
He... he's back.
Yes?
Hello, Mr Stone.
You er..called about one of our
cars.
Lease car.
That will be a grey Compact,
registration SG08 WKX.
Is that the one?
The Focus, yes.
Here we are,
grey Ford Focus SG08 WKX.
Leased to Servius Security.
What?
Servius Security.
Servius Security?
That's right.
I'll get the details up for you.
I can tell you that, yes,
that car is definitely one of ours.
Yes, I told you that.
So who was driving it this lunchtime?
That I don't know. It's a pool car
and it wasn't signed out at that
particular time.
It should still be in the car
park but I don't think it is...
So one of your people could have
taken it without signing for it?
Well, it's possible but...
It was at Millview at noon today.
It's more than possible.
You think it's got something to do
with the girl they found?
Your contract with Griffiths Doyle,
did it cover all their properties?
As well as Millview, you're
responsible for securing the shopping
centre
where a woman was attacked,
the print works where Gandley's body
was found and the empty offices where
Storey died.
Do you know how many sites
we're responsible for?
108.
And I want details of
every empty property on your books.
The man who found Kieran...
John Meadows?
Does he have access to all the sites
I just mentioned?
Yeah, along with a fair few other
people. Why?
He'd also have access to the Focus?
Again, with others.
I want their names, timesheets
and where they all are right now.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
(RINGING TONE)
MEADOWS: Clive, everything all
right?
Yeah. Where are you, son?
What, right now?
Just checking the brewery, then I'm
clocking off and going home.
Why, some overtime going?
No, no, it's nothing.
I'll... I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Night.
Yeah, night.
(HAMMERING AT WINDOW)
He should be back at his place
in about 20 minutes.
And now the other four, please.
(RINGS)
Prior.
You need to pick up five security
guards and take them in for
questioning.
I knew you going quiet was a bad
sign. Why?
The pattern was right but I read it
wrong.
It's not the construction company
we should look at, it's the security
firm.
Servius secures all the sites used by
the killer
and all five guards had access to
them and the Focus.
I've emailed you a list but look
hardest at John Meadows, he found
Kieran.
Run him through the system now.
Anything else?
Get Chloe Amos to the station first
thing. Chloe didn't see her attacker.
No, but she heard him.
And try Ruth Hattersley,
she won't answer my calls.
OK, leave it with me.
I need you to bring Chloe Amos to
the station first thing in the
morning.
John Meadows...John Meadows...
John Meadows.
(SIGHS)
Where were you at 12 noon yesterday?
Driving.
I have to cover about 20 sites.
Were you driving a dark grey Focus
owned by Servius around Millview?
Look, I was in my van as usual
and, no, I haven't been out there in
months.
So when we find the Focus - which we
will - there won't be any trace of
you in it?
Well, I do drive it, yeah.
Here he is, ma'am.
How's it going?
Be specific.
The interviews.
There's only three left -
timesheets ruled out the others.
Right, well...I've brought Chloe,
she's next door.
You found Kieran Gandley's body,
didn't you, at the print works?
Yeah, you see all sorts in this job.
There was another boy that was found
in a building that was slated for
demolition.
Lucas Storey.
Lucas Storey, it was about three
months ago? 211 Ringway?
It wouldn't surprise me.
You are aware of that site though,
right?
Yeah, sort of. We swap around.
Does the name "Leanne"
mean anything to you?
First girl's knickers I ever
saw...Leanne Spate.
What about the name "Taylor Davis"?
No.
Really? Wow.
See, that surprises me because
we have pamphlets and posters...
We did a whole TV thing.
You're not aware of Taylor Davis?
No.
Well, I guess that makes sense.
If you were aware of her,
you'd know she was only 16,
that she's been missing for six days
and that if you were involved,
I would get you.
Inspector, that's enough.
Is there anything else you'd like to
say to me at this point?
No.
OK.
Finally, I'm gonna ask you to read a
sentence.
Your voice would then be played
alongside two others in front of a
witness.
Is this something that you're happy
to do for me right now?
Yeah.
"Keep quiet and I won't hurt you."
Again.
"Keep quiet and I won't hurt you."
VOICE 2: "Keep quiet and I won't hurt
you."
VOICE 3: "Keep quiet and I won't
hurt you."
Do you recognise any of these
voices?
Erm...can I hear Number 2 again?
"Keep quiet and I won't hurt you."
You have to be sure, Chloe.
This will only help us if you're
sure.
It's definitely not 1.
It could be 2.
Or 3.
Or none of them.
I'm really sorry, I just...
There's no need to be.
Can I have a word please, Ruth.
Sure.
Just a minute.
I just wanted you to know that...
..I brought your earring back.
Oh, I wondered where I lost that.
Yeah, well, you know,
I wasn't sure if you wanted me to...
bring it in or whether
you wanted to come and pick it up.
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
That's all right.
OK, let's get you out of here.
My car's the green one.
Where are you dropping me?
At your mum's.
My mum's?
She's been phoning non-stop
to see how you are.
And where else are you gonna go?
(SIGHS)
Look, Chloe, when I was your age, my
mum and I, we couldn't stand the
sight of each other.
A week after my 17th birthday...
I'm 20.
..I ran off with a man
across the road.
Ian Peacock. He was 35.
We lasted two weeks,
I ended up on the streets.
Look at me now,
I'm living back with my mum again.
I'm not saying...
Did your mum...
used to invite men back into your
flat and then let them do whatever
they liked,
to both of you, when you was a kid?
While she's so off her face most of
the time, she barely knew you was
even there...
let alone that she was supposed to
be protecting you?
Was she?
Chloe!
Hello, Kay.
Hi, come in.
So, how is she?
She was really brave.
You should be proud of her.
Look, things happened that I'll
never be able to put right.
I know that.
I got the sense from Chloe that she
was happy once...when your husband
was alive?
Did she say that?
I suppose we were happy.
It's a bastard how you don't know
that till after.
I mean, we both went downhill
after Tony killed himself.
And it was my job to look after her
and...
..I didn't.
Here's your chance.
Thanks...for bringing her back.
That's all right.
It's my job. But it's up to you to
make her stay.
(DOOR OPENS)
OK.
We've been over everything, sir.
And you're 100 per cent?
Computer, van - the lot.
Sure?
Everything.
There's no trace of Taylor in
Meadow's van or apartment. Computer
and phone are both clean.
You have to hold him.
How?
I know it's John Meadows.
We will check every site on Servius
books until we find the one he's
moved her to.
He's Leanne. Let him leave and we'll
never find Taylor Davis.
Leanne's back online.
"The old Everfields shopping centre
at 4:30. OK, see you there.
U R next Ruth."
You are next, Ruth.
This way, Miss Hattersley.
I know where to go, thanks.
Anything?
Yeah.
An hour ago.
If Meadows is Leanne,
how did he do that?
I can't hold him, Sean.
Sean!
We can't follow him in two cars.
Look...
Look.
(WHISTLES) Meadows, yeah.
Cheers, mate.
Where's he going?
Just keep him in sight.
He'll lead us to Taylor.
Oh, Sean...
What?
They're Leanne, both of them!
They kill them together...
that's the pattern.
And I disturbed it at Millview.
That's why Chloe didn't fit.
They heard me outside, Chloe got
injured somehow - maybe by Taylor -
they knew they both couldn't get out,
so Chloe stayed.
The only reason John's still around
is they're going to kill Taylor
together.
So where are they going now?
What did she say to you?
What did Chloe say to you?
Why bother? She's a liar.
I'm an idiot.
Did she mention any places?
It was all lies.
Well, just think. Just talk.
You want me to talk?
Yes, just anything - areas,
places...
OK, there was her school,
she was expelled.
She lived with a friend
whose parents ran a pub.
There's the travellers' site near
the power station,
she used to go there.
Millview, obviously, she grew up
near there... No, she didn't.
Yes, yes, she did.
She didn't.
Oh, see, it was all lies!
Yes, but why lie about that unless
it matters?
She grew up in Crawford Tower,
as did three other mispers from my
office wall.
How do you know that?
It was one of the first patterns I
saw.
Crawford Tower's empty, isn't it?
It's only a few hundred yards
from Woolwich Station. Call Prior.
See if he's got a flat number.
CHLOE: So they know we know each
other, yeah?
If they had anything on us, they
wouldn't have released us, would
they?
But why push our luck?
It's not luck.
RUTH: OK, Carl. Thanks.
Flat 6. Guess where John Meadows
lived before his present address.
Crawford Tower.
Hey, Taylor Davis is their only
piece of actual evidence.
I know, but...
And it's what she wants.
Let's do it.
(WHIMPERS)
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
Chlo!
They're coming, Chlo!
What?
Just leave her, we need to go now!
No, stay!
Chloe, come on.
John, stay!
(TYRES SCREECH)
Stay back or I will cut her throat!
Taylor, she won't.
You don't know me!
That's not how they kill, they're
cowards. Say that again.
Please, Chloe. Don't make it worse.
Even worse?
You are pathetic. You know that?
You are weak.
Give her your car keys.
Right, now, you drop those...
You drop those, sweetheart, and I
will kill you.
Just think about what you're doing.
I know what I'm doing.
(SIRENS BLARE)
Just think about... Come on, Chloe.
Stay back!
You stay back or I'll cut her!
Chloe!
Oww!
Get your hands off me!
Get your hands off me!
Come on, you.
(GRUNTS)
(RUTH PANTS, TAYLOR WHIMPERS)
Chloe!
Chlo, Chlo!
What's going on?
Where they taking her?
Chloe's been arrested on suspicion
of abduction and grievous body harm.
No!
I'm so sorry.
What have you done?
Oh, Chloe...
I'm so sorry.
(SIREN BLARES)
I just need to get my bag.
How's your hand?
You don't need to ask if you don't
care, Sean.
How's your hand?
It'll be fine.
Thank you.
You want to go now, don't you?
Yes.
Are you offering me a lift?
Yes.
