DCI Banks (2010–2016): Season 3, Episode 1 - Wednesday's Child - Part 1 - full transcript

Mmm. That's gorgeous, boss. Trout?

Sea bass.

So tell me about
your new lady, Kenneth.

Lydia. Owns a fruit shop.

Well, so long as you're getting
your five-a-day...

It's lovely out here, boss.

Quiet place to think, Ken.

Cheeseburger with onions, please.

And one of those skewers
with pitta bread for Michael.

Right.

- What?
- You suit an apron.



Are you trying to do small talk, Helen?

Would I?

Ah. The guest of honour.

Everyone. Meet Isla Rose Cabbot!

Aw, she's gorgeous!

All right, Ken,

you getting broody?

She's got your ears, boss.

Alan.

Annie.

Get in the car, Kyle.

Come on.

Do what he says. Get in the car.

Kyle?



Ripped By mstoll

I'm fed up with it, Steven.

Yes, I cut the crusts off. Goodbye.

No, it's not crab paste.

Ben, the fruit does not
come back today. OK?

Coming in at a quarter past
12:00 on a school night?

I was just round at Ryan's.

You were drinking, son.

Grounded for a month.

She's wasting her time.

Steven...

Steven! You come back here right now!

Feeling a bit worse for wear, boss?

Just a touch.

Did you and Michael enjoy yourselves?

Yes.

Where's Annie?

Sorry I'm late. Got held up at nursery.

Boss, we've got someone downstairs.
Interview room 1. It's serious.

Helen.

He's on his way. Yeah.

- Morning, Sarge.
- Morning.

We cleared you a desk.

They've taken my son.

My little boy's gone.

They... They came to my door
and said that they were social workers

and they were taking Kyle...

They've given me a number.
But it doesn't work. It doesn't work.

Katy...

Kyle has left his phone at home,
so I can't get a hold of him...

Katy! Just take your time.
Now, tell me what's been happening.

Your son. How old is he?

He's 11, but...

And the people who took him. How many?

There were two. A man and a woman.

They showed me some ID,
but I didn't see.

- It all happened so fast.
- But they gave you a number?

Yeah, it's dead.
It's not a real number. It doesn't work.

Are they... I mean, do you think that...

Do you have the number, Katy?

DS Cabbot.

There may still be
fingerprints on here, Katy.

Annie, can you check the number for us?

Did they say
where they were taking Kyle?

Or when they'd be bringing him back?

No. They just said that they were
taking Kyle to a place of safety.

So they knew his name?

- Yeah.
- Are you sure, Katy?

They definitely mentioned Kyle by name?

Yeah, yeah. And me. They knew my name.

The number's dead.

Look, please. We need to get
out there and find him please.

- Where is he?
- We will, Katy.

But I need you to talk to me.
Now what time did they show up?

Uh, it was about
quarter to 11:00 last night.

I kept trying the number because

I thought it would work at 9:00
this morning,

when their office is open. So...

Katy, this is DC Ken Blackstone.

He's gonna take you upstairs,

somewhere a little bit more comfortable

where you can make a full statement
and give a complete description

of the two people that took Kyle.

OK?

Do you want to come
with me, Katy?

You're doing really well, Katy.
Thank you.

Yeah.

Social work have no record
of Kyle or Katy Heath. Neither do we.

At the best, it's some kind of
administrative failure.

At worst, a child abuse ring.

Posing as social workers?
It's high risk.

But if it is that and they knew
Kyle's name,

it was obviously planned.

Well, if it's a false alarm,
we can always de-escalate.

But if not, we're looking at a Cat
A enquiry of suspected child abduction.

Annie, what with your
new circumstances,

I'd understand if you didn't want
to be thrown in

at the deep end on this one.

DS Cabbot's not the first police
officer in history

to have a baby, you know.

DI Morton.
I need the duty officer at regional.

CAT A priority enquiry.
Suspected child abduction.

She right. I'm fine.

OK.

Alan. I know I'm new to this
motherhood thing,

but if someone turned up at my door
late at night,

even if they were real social workers,
and tried to take Isla away...

I'd be kicking
and screaming the place down.

She just stood aside
and let her son go?

I'm getting bad dreams again.

Shh.

You'll be OK?

But I keep waking up and I...

I can't breathe.

It was never going to be easy.

But it's what brought us together.

We chose this, Chelsea.

I never forced you to do anything.

Did I ever force you to do anything
you didn't want to do?

No, you didn't.

But I'm just not sure it's right.

Do you trust me?

Chelsea? Do you trust me?

Yes.

So you're happy
these are a good likeness?

Yeah.

Just to reiterate, Katy,
what age was the man?

40s. And she was younger. 30s maybe?

Annie get these circulated
to the media.

What about Kyle's father?

- We're not together.
- Does he see Kyle?

One day a month. We don't get on.

He never wanted Kyle
and I tried to block access.

- On what basis?
- He's a criminal.

- He's been in jail.
- What for?

I don't know. Fraud or something.
He's not a good role model for Kyle.

Right, we'll need a name and address.

Paul David Cain.

I'll action a TIE.

Thanks.

Katy, is there anyone you'd
like us to call for you for support?

I don't really have many friends.

And I don't mix
with the neighbours, so...

What about, you know, a boyfriend?

When you're on your own...
I don't want different men

coming in and out of Kyle's life.

Sure, I understand.

- What about family?
- No.

Aren't your parents around?

I don't get on with them. Never have.

Moving around all the time.

My dad was in the army. A cook.

We were never in the same place
for more than a year.

Weren't your family
in the military, Helen?

Oh, my father was in the RAF.
Ground crew.

I hated my childhood.

Couldn't get away from home
quick enough.

I loved my childhood.

Sorry about the mess.

Just don't touch anything.

We'll need a picture of Kyle.

Um...

Maybe in his room?

So, Katy, you open the door.

- Where was Kyle?
- In his room.

- Is this him?
- Yeah.

Oh, this is good.

He doesn't even like football.

Well, he does now.
In fact, he's a Leeds United fanatic.

He looks happy.

So you didn't take this?

No, it must've been his dad,
cos that's where he lives.

We're going to have to make
a public appeal.

This kind of thing is invaluable.

So you opened the door. Katy?

Sorry.

They said they couldn't get in
and I wouldn't let them.

And then the guy from across
the road came back from work.

I don't know his name.
He lives at number 92.

And you let this man and woman in?

Yeah, but the guy just shoved me inside
and just shut the door.

- Who shut the door?
- Um...

She did, I suppose.

- Did they touch anything else?
- I don't know.

Once inside, what did they say?

Serious allegations had been made

and they were taking Kyle
to a place of safety.

And then they took him away.

What did Kyle do?

Well, he was upset. Obviously.

He was shouting and screaming for me.

Please...

Please find him.

Stop back there.

All yours, Jack.

Fourteen hours missing and counting.

Paul Cain? Kyle's father?

He's not at home.

We're trying his place of business.

Uh, he did two years in prison
in the late '90s.

Financial fraud.

And 11 months ago,
petitioned the family court

for increased access to his son.
He was refused.

Wouldn't be the first time an angry
father's tried to snatch his kid.

Turning to worst-case scenario.

- Helen...
- Yeah.

Liz, child protection register,
region wide.

Known paedophiles.
Get them traced and interviewed.

Andy, through the records.
Anything with a similar MO,

child abductors posing as social
workers, anywhere.

And I mean Europe wide.

And, Ken, door-to-door
around the estates.

Detailed timeline of Kyle's movements
over the last 48 hours.

And, um, Annie?

Kyle's school, teachers, classmates.

Sir.

I want a complete picture
of this boy's life.

Routines, phone
and social network activity.

Kyle was targeted.

They stalked him, reccied him.
He had some kind of contact with them.

Media Services, boss.

They've called the press conference
for 12:50.

Right. Helen. Can you get Katy ready?

There's a link between Kyle
Heath and his abductors.

Let's find it.

I've just heard myself.
One of the parents phoned.

I'll call an assembly.
Tell the children.

Have you noticed any changes
in Kyle recently?

Changes in behaviour?

Routines?
Anything to give you cause for alarm?

I'm management these days.

I don't really have direct
contact with the pupils.

Please God, Kyle's OK.

Can you get me parents'
permission to interview

his friends and classmates?

This is Kyle's class teacher,
Mr Forbes. Joseph...

DS Cabbot.

Kyle?

Mmm, that's a pretty good likeness.

Maybe a bit heavier...

He didn't look like
a social worker to me.

More like a nightclub bouncer.

And the woman?

Sorry. I didn't see her.

She had her back to me all the time.

Katy Heath? Do you know her?

No, this side of the street
and hers, very different worlds.

We're in the good catchment area here.

That estate's a shithole.

Junkies everywhere these days.

So you were there at the garden gate
when you saw them?

Yep. They talked to her
for a bit, then went inside.

She invited them in?

- I suppose so.
- The man didn't push her?

I didn't see that.

- What time was this?
- 10:45.

Very precise on that.

I work shifts at the freight terminal.

Home at quarter to 11:00 every evening.
Like clockwork.

And later?
Did you see them leaving with Kyle?

No.

Did you hear Kyle
shouting or screaming?

No.

Mrs Harris?

Is there something else, Mrs Harris?

I don't know...

I mean, it is terrible
what's happened but...

I'm not surprised.

That boy runs wild.

The mother works nights
at that pub in town, Bojangles.

They don't seem to have a babysitter.

The boy's out all hours.

I've seen him come home
at 1:00, 2:00 in the morning sometimes.

It's no way to bring a kid up.

Is it OK if I go?
I'm helping with the search.

No. I wouldn't say Kyle's a loner.

Just...

Disengaged.

So I don't really know much about him.

Have you met his mother?

That's the trouble
with parents evenings.

The ones that come
are never the ones you need to see.

Why did you need to see Kyle's mum?

Kyle's intelligent.

Really bright.

I've not been teaching that long,
but this kid?

He's really clever.

But...

The truth is

he's also an aggressive,
disruptive little shit.

OK, thank you.

Bojangles staff rota.

Katy works five nights a week.
6:00 till midnight.

Not what she told us in her statement.

Yeah, well, she also said
the man pushed her inside.

But according to him,
she just let them in.

So our only witness sees
these social workers arrive,

but doesn't actually see them
leave with Kyle?

And our one and only witness

arrives at 10:45 every night
like clockwork.

Think it was staged?

There's a lot of questions here, Helen.

Is Kyle still inside that house?

Was he really abducted?

Is Katy hiding something?
Covering something up?

I want you to stay close to her.
Family Liaison.

She's hooked onto you.
Seems to want to bond with you.

We've got a dedicated team of
Family Liaison Officers...

I don't want a dedicated FLO.

I want an investigating officer, you,
close to a suspect, Katy Heath.

Katy, I need you to help me understand.

You let these people take Kyle...

No. I was shouting and screaming,
and the woman held me back, and...

I was tired... They confused me.

Oh, God...
I should've stood up to them.

I was weak and stupid. But I thought...

You thought what?

Kyle's dad...

He's made up some story about me
being a bad mother

and grassed me to the social.

I mean, he hates me.

It's not even about him
getting more access to Kyle.

It's about him getting at me.

Maybe he got these people to take Kyle?

He's got the money, you know,
although I never see it,

even though I'm bringing up his son.
I mean, he owes me.

What he gives me is pittance and...

Maybe...

Kyle's father is behind this.
Have you thought of that?

We're looking at all possibilities.

I hope he is.

It means that Kyle's still alive.

Could you two leave
the house please, Katy?

We need to do a full search.

Family Liaison Officer means
that I'm your point of contact.

All information comes to you via me.

And anything else you can think
of that might help us,

you approach me first. OK?

It's lovely out here, isn't it?

Hmm. It's also important that we
control the flow of information.

So please, please,
don't speak to anyone about...

I don't have anyone to speak to.

Except you.

Have you got kids?

Four boys.

The oldest is 15.

So you're a mother too.
But you think I'm involved in...

A full house search is routine.

We just have to rule out certain...

I'm Kyle's mum, I love my son.

Do you really think I'd, what...

I'd kill him?

No.

Do you want another drink?

No, thanks.

Bloody hell!

Turn that up, please. Turn it up!

Oh, his son!

... maybe if Kyle had stayed with me
instead of his mother,

- none of this would have happened.
- Bastard!

Did you hear that? He walked out on me.

He walked out on me as soon
as I got pregnant! You bastard!

All I'm saying

is a boy needs a responsible father
in his life.

- Alan.
- I know Helen.

I'm there, thanks.

And now I just want to find my son.

- Do you think Kyle is alive?
- Of course he's still alive.

I have to believe he's still alive

and I need you people
to help me find him.

Now please,
I need to see Kyle's mother.

Katy's not here.
You can talk to me instead, Mr Cain.

Sir?

They've found something.

Kyle's dad.
Bring him in without any fuss.

Mr Cain,

DC Blackstone.
If you'd like to follow me, please?

Heroin.

Thank you for coming.

I think Steven should explain
why I've asked you here.

Spread-betting.

What?

Your son has been playing bookmaker
to his fellow pupils.

And, as we know, the bookie always wins.

So other parents have been complaining.

Steven's been making
quite a tidy profit

at the expense of his fellow students.

I'm a credit to your maths department.

- Right, that's enough.
- Watch your tone, please.

One more incident like this

and I'll have to exclude your son.

I'm sorry. I can assure you
that that won't happen again.

Right, three months grounded.

I'm going to have to leave.

I'll see you at home.

I'm sorry.

Half a kilo of heroin?

Bummer.

Bummer?

Well, arresting her'd be
counter-productive...

Katy Heath has broken the law.

If she is involved in Kyle's abduction,

we can use this to break her.

Katy Heath's not going anywhere.

We've got a big break here.

If she's involved with drugs,

maybe that's why Kyle was abducted.
Kidnap and ransom?

Helen, Annie's right.

Finding Kyle trumps everything.

- Well, of course...
- We're not going to arrest Katy yet.

But I need you to find out
her explanation

for where that heroin came from?

Paul Cain's downstairs.
I'll deal with him.

Kyle's school? Anything?

Kyle's class teacher, Joseph Forbes.

Described Kyle as "a disruptive
little shit", un-quote.

I'm running a full background on him.

He's in his late 20s?

Our male suspect is in his 40s.

Yeah, but at the same time, if
we're dealing with a paedophile ring,

who better to identify

vulnerable targets
than a school teacher?

Katy?

I look fat.

I need a word.

I don't know anything about drugs.

Sooner or later, you're
looking at a serious drugs charge.

Possession with intent to supply
?25,000 worth of heroin...

It's nothing to do with me.

Does it belong to the people
who took Kyle?

What people? I don't know...

Katy! Half a kilo of heroin
under your floorboards?

There's only you and Kyle in the house.

No friends, no family, no boyfriends.

Who else has been in this house?

What else am I supposed to do?

I need... I'm on my own.

Who else has been in this house?

Men. Boyfriends.

You told me you didn't have
any boyfriends.

I meant no-one regular.

I'll need a list. Names, numbers.

Are you sure about that?

One minute.

Anything?

Well, no-one's seen Kyle
since school finished on Friday.

Apparently, Kyle was always
hanging around with the older boys.

I didn't get any names.

"He's secretive, he's funny,
he's a bully.

"He's really brainy, scary,
always has a lot of money."

There's one lad here, his name's Kevin.

I think he knows something,
but he's not letting on.

OK.

Kevin, it's really important
that you tell me everything you know.

But don't worry,
you're not in any trouble.

Go on, Kevin.

On Saturday night, coming home
from my Auntie Ann's

and it was 12:00 at night.

And we stopped at traffic lights and...

I saw Kyle Heath in Pleasuredrome.

You sure about this, Kevin?

It's very important

and DS Cabbot is a very busy woman.

Are you sure it was Kyle you saw?

Yeah. In Pleasuredrome.

I was in Birmingham.

I had a meeting at my hotel yesterday.

Lots of witnesses.

I was busy all morning, and

then I heard it on the news.

So I cancelled my meetings
and I drove straight back.

You moved back to the area
a couple of years ago. Why?

My father retired. I came back
to run the family business.

Do you have anything?

Do you have any kind of leads?

You recently applied
to the family court for

more access to your son.

Yeah. Which she blocked.

I walked when Katy got pregnant.

But it was her, not Kyle, I rejected.

And she has never forgiven me for that.

The thing about Katy is...

When she was young,

she was gorgeous.

She was cool and she was quirky.

You know, like a star
in her own little world.

And she thought

because she was gorgeous and cool,

she would always land on her feet

and she would never
have to worry about the boring stuff

like money or where to live. Or kids.

Some rich bloke, me for example,
would take care of all that.

And all I want is a proper
relationship with Kyle.

I get one day in every month

and even then he can't stay over.
That's extortion, isn't it?

Now Katy says she would happily
grant me more access

if I come up with
more child maintenance.

But if I gave her more money,
she'd just spend it on herself.

And she's using Kyle to get back at me.

It's not fair on the boy.

He needs a dad. He needs a role model.

He needs me.

Two years in Hawksworth Prison
for financial fraud.

Well, that's got to harden you up.

That's the sort of place where
you'd meet people

who might be willing,
for a price, to kidnap a child.

I've got a business.

I've got employees who depend upon me,

who've been working for
my family for years.

Do I look that stupid?

I tell you this,

Kyle would never have been taken
from under my nose like that.

I think Katy's involved.

Have you thought about that?

She gets all the attention,
she sells her story to the newspapers...

We're looking at all possibilities.

OK.

But can I go now, please?

I need to search for Kyle.

I need to do something.

Excuse me.

Did you see this boy in here on
Saturday night? Around midnight?

Don't even think about lying.

Yeah. He's in here quite a lot.

Spends a lot of money on that one.

- A lot of money.
- What's a lot?

40, 50 quid a night.
Several nights a week.

Have you ever seen him
in here with anyone?

Adults? A couple, maybe?

Not a couple, no,

but Saturday night there was
a guy with him.

Talked to him for ages.

OK, so what'd this guy look like?

I didn't take too much notice.

Could it have been him?

Don't know. Maybe.

Is there anything else
you can help me with here?

The man went and got cash out.
Over there.

Katy Heath. Another lie.

- About?
- Boyfriends.

Turns out she's had quite a few.

Six men have stayed
in that house in the last year.

TIEs on all of them.

Any history of crimes against children
or drugs convictions...

- You might not want to bother.
- Why not?

We pulled one set of prints from
the cellophane used to wrap the drugs.

Not Katy Heath's.

But they do match a set we found
all over Katy's house.

The only set on Kyle's Xbox controller,

his computer keyboard, his TV remote.

What? So the heroin's Kyle's?

Career ladder for a drugs dealer.

You start at street level as a runner.

Get the order from the salesman,
pick it up from whoever's holding,

deliver it to the customer.

Over in Manchester,
I saw kids as young as nine.

The Drugs Squad have picked up
a few kids

who are runners on the Elthorpe Estate,
but they're hitting a brick wall.

Can't get the name
out of who's behind them.

Boss...

Pleasuredrome.
An amusement arcade on Rotherham St.

Kyle's got a gambling habit.
Blowing 40, 50 quid a night.

Where's he getting that kind of money?

There's only Kyle's prints
on the drugs stash.

So he's selling heroin, and then
he's hiding it at home for someone.

What, his mother doesn't know?

But I can place him at the Pleasuredrome
between 11:30 and midnight,

Saturday, in the company of a man.

I couldn't get a positive
on our E-FIT but...

He used the ATM
at the amusement arcade.

Males who used that machine between
11:30 and 12:00 on Saturday night.

Maybe we're asking
the wrong questions here.

Not where is Kyle Heath,
but who is Kyle Heath?

What are we doing here, Jimmy?

You didn't say we were coming here.

Lot of things I haven't told you, son.

I don't understand.

He's just a little boy.
How can he be...

Katy, this is all about finding Kyle.

We need to know
where he got those drugs from.

I don't know. How would I know?

You must have some idea.

Do know what your sons are up
to all the time?

I don't know anything.

Kyle's out most nights, isn't he,
till all hours.

No, he isn't.

You work nights.
You don't have a babysitter.

Here's what we know about Kyle.

He's involved in heroin.

- He's got a ?50 a night gambling habit.
- What?

Your 11 -year-old son gambles.
For God's sake.

I don't know what to do, OK.

I can't cope with him on my own.

I was drunk when they took him away.

I was drinking all night
because I worry about him

and he won't talk to me any more
and I was all over the place.

Kyle doesn't have a father
and I can't do this on my own.

But I don't deserve this and I'm getting
fed up with you judging me.

- I'm not judging you.
- You think that I deserve this.

You think I'm lazy and stupid
and deserve to have my son

taken and murdered.

You're changing the subject.
What's going on?

Where's Kyle?
Where did those drugs come from?

I don't know.

I don't know anything about him,

but if he's involved in drugs
then they will kill him.

And he could be dead.

Helen.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Annie?

Four names.

Four men who made withdrawals

from the ATM at the Pleasuredrome
on Saturday night.

Bloody hell.

Mark Campbell.
Head teacher at Kyle's school.

I've got him at the Pleasuredrome
with Kyle on Saturday night.

Knows the boy, knows his background.
This could be our man.

All right, organise an arrest team.

Assigning me to the school?
Taking me off the front line?

Good call, boss.

I want you to pick up
Mr Campbell discreetly, all right?

I don't want that lot over there

crucifying the man
before we've eyeballed him.

No showboating, OK.

Get this over to Katy,
see what she says.

I'm really not sure
that I'm the sort of person

that Katy's going to form
a bond with after...

Make yourself the sort of person
she can bond with.

Annie.

If you want to question my judgement
or have issues with your assignment,

talk to me in private, please.

You assigned me to the school
to protect me.

I don't need protecting.
It's not fair on me. Or the others.

- You're overreacting...
- Oh, come on.

Any other woman coming back
from maternity leave

and you wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Why treat me differently?

Why protect me?

Banks.

Where?

I'm on my way.

They've found a body.

I don't know.

I can't say.
It could be, but I don't know.

It's fine.

Look, I'm sorry
if I was rude to you earlier.

It's OK.

We're all struggling, aren't we?

It's not easy, is it?

Bringing up boys.

My eldest, Steven...

They're threatening
to exclude him from school.

What's this?

What's what?

My little boy's missing.

God knows where he is
and you're moaning...

What is this?

Share a little confidence with me

so you can get close to me
and win my trust?

You're still investigating me,
aren't you?

You just won't stop.

This is out of order!
I'm the victim here!

Who's side are you on?

Kyle's.

Something's happening.

... unconfirmed reports

and we haven't yet received any
official comment from police.

But rumours are circulating
here that a body has been found

somewhere close by.

- Oh, God.
- We think up on Felton Moor

which is about six miles
from the spot where...

Is it true?

Mark Campbell?

DC Blackstone.
We met the other day at the school.

We need you to come with us
to the station.

We've got a few more questions
we need to ask you.

- Is this about Kyle?
- Yes.

You can leave your vehicle,
it's fine there.

No news.

... believe the body
may have been found

but this is unconfirmed at this stage.

- It's not Kyle.
- Oh, thank God.

Right, new day.

The boy found yesterday
has been formally identified

as eleven year old Andre Petri.

First reported missing two weeks ago.

It never came to us.

Early findings suggest

he's been dead and buried for 10 days.

No cause of death as yet.

So... Andre Petri, Kyle Heath?
Any links? Ken?

Different schools, but they both
lived on the Elthorpe Estate

and they're pretty much the same age.

Annie.

I want you to do the heavy lifting
on the Andre Petri inquiry.

Kyle Heath.

Now, putting aside
that his mother, Katy,

might somehow involved in his abduction,

we're looking at two lines of inquiry.

One, sexual abuse.

Downstairs we're already holding
Kyle's head teacher, Mark Campbell.

Is this a link to some kind of
paedophile ring?

Two, Kyle Heath stashed
half a kilo of heroin

under the floorboards
of his living room.

The only fingerprints on that stash

were Kyle Heath's, an 11 -year-old boy.

Come on, whoever's really running
the heroin trade on the Elthorpe Estate

has got to be the prime suspect
for all of this.

So we need to be all over those streets.

We step up the house-to-houses.

Anyone and everyone

with any sort of drug-related form,

trace them and question them.

Now we know what we're looking for.
Let's get out and find it.

You'll need me in
on the Mark Campbell interview.

You wanted a front line assignment.

I know. And thanks.

But I brought Mark Campbell in

and you've haven't had time
to go through his background.

I have. And if we can nail him...

- I could take the Andre Petri case.
- What?

Can you just stick with Katy?

Can you both just do what I asked you?

I haven't got time for anything else.

Hanging about an 11 -year-old pupil,

drawing cash for them

from an amusement arcade
around midnight?

I didn't take Kyle.
His mother would have recognised me.

- She never went to the school.
- Kyle would have recognised me.

Maybe he went voluntarily
after you'd groomed him.

Sunday night. I took my rubbish out...

My neighbour saw me.
I can get you her name...

We're already checking that.

We're checking out
every bit of your life, Mr Campbell.

Do you know these two people?

No. Why would I?

Well, who better
to point out vulnerable,

easily abductable children
than a head teacher?

Wait, stop.

Kyle Heath

is anything but vulnerable. He's
too streetwise for his own good.

He's disruptive at school.
His class teacher can't handle him.

I was only trying to help him.

He was out after midnight
on his own, for God's sake.

I was trying to get him to go home.

And that was the last I saw him.

He won the jackpot,

got his money and got a minicab home.
That's it. That's...

That's all I know.

You lied to me yesterday.
I asked if there was anything about Kyle

to give you cause for alarm.

You said, "I don't know him."

I don't know him.

I wasn't stalking him.
I wasn't following him.

But there a reason
that you were at the Pleasuredrome

on Saturday night, wasn't there?

You're often down that way.

Late at night.

I've spoken to the girls who
work that street.

In detail.

About you.

Hmm.

Some pretty odd kinks you've got,
Mr Campbell.

Please...

If my...

If my ex-wife

finds out, she'll...

She'll use it to stop my access
to my kids...

If I was your ex-wife,

knowing what I know,

I wouldn't let you near my kids.

Right, what I do hurts nobody,

it isn't illegal.

Doesn't make me a bad parent.

Andre?

DS Cabbot.

- Are you Mrs Petri?
- Petri.

English? Do you speak English,
Mrs Petri? English?

Angela!

I'm his sister. You've found Andre?

No!

I mean, yes.

What do you mean? What are you saying?

You've found him?

What is it?

What's wrong?

Most of the damage
is decomposition.

The usual cuts and scratches
you're likely to see

on a lad of his age.

But otherwise, no obvious signs
of physical violence.

Any signs of sexual violence?

No.

So what do you think?

At the moment, all I can give you
is a cause of death

from toxicology.

This little boy died
from a massive overdose of heroin.

Andre Petri
was missing for two weeks.

Where was the press?
Where was the coverage?

He doesn't fit the profile,
does he? Foreign.

Immigrant family.

- Where were we when...
- I don't know, Annie.

I've said his case
wasn't assigned to us.

But it is now and now we have
a dead child as well as a missing one.

Oh, you want more good news?

Mark Campbell's alibi checks out.

All right, he's not the world's most
wholesome head teacher, but

it's not illegal.

Which leaves us with Andre Petri.

Died of heroin,

Kyle Heath has a heroin stash.

Ken?

Crime mapping.

Takes everything on the database

and flags it up on a map location.

One year ago,

the Elthorpe Estate
is flooded with heroin.

But

taking in intelligence evaluations,

there's been a heroin drought
on the estate for the last two weeks.

Two weeks.

Around the time Andre Petri
overdosed and died.

And they buried him.

They're decontaminating.
They're closing down the operation.

- I'm sorry to interrupt.
- Helen.

I've got to show you this.

Katy and Paul Cain?

- But I thought that...
- Yeah, me too.

No, she's all over him. Not together!

Look, they're kissing.

She's dressed up, she's made up.

- Clearly trying to seduce him.
- Why?

I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

- Gossip.
- Sorry?

The overwhelming
probability here is drugs.

Someone buried Andre Petri
because he died of a heroin overdose.

That someone is holding

or has killed Kyle.

Can you stay on Katy? Thanks, Helen.

Thanks, boss.

Gossip?

It's a legitimate line of enquiry

and in case you hadn't noticed,
we're getting desperate here.

Did Andre have money?
More money than he should have?

Yes. He was getting money
from somewhere.

The missing boy, Kyle Heath?

He lives on your estate.
Did you ever see Andre with him?

No. I'm sorry.

Is there anything else
you can think of, Angela?

Anything about Andre's behaviour,

his habits?

I don't know.

He changed.

The money.

Even though he was buying
presents for us,

he got arrogant...

It wasn't right,
the way he was behaving.

- Coming home in taxis and...
- Taxis?

Yes. Those minicabs.

They're all over the estate.

Kyle gets a minicab from Pleasuredrome.

Andre's been using minicabs.

- It's another connection. But...
- It's a cash-based business.

Part of the fabric of the community.

You launder the money
as you sell the product.

Eleven-year-olds with cash for taxis.

Pleasuredrome! Elthorpe Cabs!

The minicab firm started
just over a year ago

when the estate was flooded with heroin.

Six partners, four ex-cons.

Three with previous drugs convictions.

Let's go.

Go! Go, get in there!
Police!

- Go upstairs.
- Hey, nobody move!

- Police!
- Police!

- Police!
- Stay where you are!

OK, fellas,
stay exactly where you are.

We're gonna search the premises.

I'll need proof of ID

and we'll want to interview all of you.

Steven's skipped school?

He's about to be excluded...

I'm sorry, Michael,
there's nothing I can do.

I'm in the middle of an investigation.

Yeah, no, I understand.

Katy, how are you feeling?

It's hard to say really...
I'm just desperate to get Kyle back.

I just want to say to the
people holding Kyle,

please don't hurt him.
Just bring him home.

I'm a mother,
and there is a special connection

between a mother and her son and I...

I know that Kyle is still alive

and I know that he's still out there.

I miss my little boy.

Please...

Please come home, Kyle. We love you.

We both love you.

I just want to reiterate

what Katy's saying.

Katy and I...

We are working on our problems and

we may not be together,
but we're still a family

and I just want to see my son again.

And you know what?

I would give it all up,

every penny I've got,

just to get Kyle back.

Please bring him back.

No price is too high.

Please,

I would pay anything.

That's all I've got to say. I'm sorry.

I just want to find my son.

That was foolish.

Broadcasting how wealthy you are.

- You should've cleared that with us.
- Why?

Because it sounded like
you were offering

Kyle's abductors a ransom.

I'm sorry. I...
That is not what I meant.

- I didn't realise...
- No.

You're not that stupid.

It was Katy's idea.

She came to see me earlier.

How could I say no? Kyle is my child...

She's desperate. We are both desperate.

So now you trust Katy?

You told me you didn't want
anything to do with Paul Cain.

- You said you hated him.
- It's not what you think.

So what is it, Katy?

I love him.

More lies, Katy.
You love his money.

And I think you're using Kyle
to get your hands on it.

I wouldn't expect you to understand,

cos I don't think you've ever loved
anyone in your life.

Like really, properly, loved anyone.

That's never happened to you, has it?

I look at you and I can tell.

No passions. No highs, no lows.

You're so... Flat.

How can you be like that?

Hello?

Speaking.

Yeah, he's my son.

I'm going to have to call you back.

I'm here
if you want to talk, Helen.

What's wrong? We're friends, aren't we?
I thought we bonded.

- Where's Kyle?
- I have done nothing wrong.

I know I've done nothing wrong.

And you know I have done nothing wrong.

So piss off.

Andre used to come in here too.

Kids on their own late at night.

Easy to groom for the drugs trade.

No drugs up there. But I pulled copies

of all the drivers' photographic IDs.

This guy's not been in since last week

and no-one knows where he is. But...

Our man or what?

- OK...
- James Chivers.

Minicab driver passing himself off
as social worker.

I want to know everything
there is to know about this man.

Jimmy, this is not right.

Did you see him looking at them?

Jimmy, if he's not on side,

we can't move around.

We can't get out of here.

I know.

I'll get him on side.

How much would Cain pay?

I don't know, Chelsea.

But what I do know is we've got to move.

James Chivers. Prison record
as long as your arm.

- Amy crimes against children?
- Nope.

But past involvement with drugs crews
down in Bristol.

First offence when he was 10.

Most of his teens in Borstal,

13 of the last 25 years behind bars.

Single mother, absent father.

Just like Kyle and Andre.

But five years ago,
after Chivers' last stretch,

it all stopped.
Not one conviction since.

Seems like a reformed character,

but the whole time, he's setting up
his heroin supply network.

He's using kids as runners.

Armed police!

- All clear!
- Armed police!

- Kitchen clear!
- Armed police!

- Stairwell, clear!
- Armed police!

Armed police!

Bedroom clear!

Boss.

I want to action surveillance
on Paul Cain.

Surveillance? We don't...

There is no evidence that Paul Cain's...

I think he's the victim.
Kidnap and ransom.

And I think Katy Heath's involved.

She's nudging Cain
to offer money to Kyle's abductors.

Why do you think we're here, Helen?

Elthorpe Cabs, James Chivers.
That's our man.

If Katy was really involved,

why would she give us
such an accurate description of Chivers?

Alan, if I'm right,

Cain leads us straight to Kyle.

You can't ignore me on this.

Chivers' house, it's empty.

And the whole place has been cleaned.
Thoroughly. Professionally.

Action the surveillance.

DI Morton.

I need you to access
Paul Cain's bank accounts.

We should be focusing on Chivers.

If Katy's hidden Kyle to claim
ransom money, then he's still alive.

But if Kyle's just some pawn
in a drugs war,

there's every chance he's dead.
Which would you prefer?

You're under enough pressure, Alan.

Don't pile more on yourself.

I've missed you.

Boss, you've gotta see this.

James Chivers seems to spend
a lot of time online

on a website called ElthorpeRF. Com.

Stands for Elthorpe Residents Forum.

Supposed to be a community resource

but most people just go on
to rant and complain,

even flirt with each other.

And James Chivers, known as Jimmy99

is on there two, three times a day.

Lots of intimate, intense,
one-to-one chats,

several online relationships,

even arranging to meet
some of these people.

I've hardly had the chance
to scratch the surface of all this lot,

but I did trace the IP addresses
of his online friends

and one name stands out.

Lots of chats on a regular,
daily basis.

Lots of flirting too.

Little Miss Kitty.

Katy Heath.

You all right, Kyle?

My mum,

she told me that my dad
doesn't care about me.

But he does.

Your mum...

I know her better than
she knows herself.

You understand?

And she's...

She's weak.

And she's confused.

And she's greedy.

- I just want...
- I know, Kyle!

I know what you want.

You wanna see your dad.

Well, I'll take you to see him.

I'll take you to see your dad.

Helen Morton.

Yes.

I understand.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Oh, you've spoken to my husband. OK.

Thanks for calling.

No, I'll deal with it.

Boss.

Helen.

As discreet and low-key as you can,

it's time to bring Katy Heath
in for a formal interview.

On what basis?

You've got this all wrong, love.

Get in the car.

Helen, I told you quite clearly.

- She doesn't deserve discreet.
- Deserve?

- When do you get to decide?
- This puts more pressure on her.

Katy Heath and James Chivers
are in this together.

They're extorting money from Paul Cain.

If Jimmy Chivers was a drug dealer?

Tens of thousands going through
his operation?

Why would he get involved
in a stupid scam

trying to extort money from
a small businessman like Paul Cain?

It doesn't make sense, does it?

They're criminals, Annie.

Of course it doesn't make sense.

But Kyle's still missing,
the clock's ticking

and we've got one live suspect
in custody.

Where's Kyle?

I don't know.

This psycho is obsessing on me.
Victimising me.

I want to make a complaint.
How do I make a complaint?

You're a regular, aren't you?

Little Miss Kitty.

And you've got a friend there too,
haven't you?

Jimmy99.

That's private.
It's nothing to do with you.

Little Miss Kitty and Jimmy99.

We've got it all down here,

your cosy little late night chats.

No wonder your son's acting up.
I bet he hates your guts.

Stay on the subject.

So you spilled your heart out
to Jimmy99.

Intimate details.

"I need to be cherished,

"sex is important to me."

Sounds to me like
you're coming onto him.

I bet you suffocate your boys
with all your rules and routines

and your happy family Famous Five shit.

Then you're complaining about Kyle.

"Kyle's a burden."
Kyle "restricts your freedom."

And then you're moaning
about Kyle's father.

He's withholding money from you.

You even named him.

"Paul Cain."

Where is my son?

You're supposed to find Kyle.

This is Jimmy99.

James Chivers.

God! That's him.

That's the guy. He took Kyle.

You mean you've never
seen this man before in your life?

Before he turned up at your door
and you let him take Kyle?

Where is he? Have you got him?

You tell us.

You talked with this man
Jimmy Chivers for two months.

You exchanged numbers.

- You arranged a meeting...
- No! We didn't meet.

He was creeping me out.

And you hatched a plot
to extort money from Paul Cain.

I didn't meet this guy.

He was a weirdo, banging on
about good and evil

- and morals and saving us all.
- Saving who?

I don't know. The Estate, the world,
the kids, me, Kyle.

I just wanted a chat with someone
cos I get a bit lonely

and all I got from this weirdo
is a load of psychobabble.

Oh, God, you're right.

I did, I told him stuff.

I told him about Kyle, and he was...

He was using me to stalk Kyle?

I know how you work, Katy.

When you're cornered, you either lie
or you change the subject.

It's not going to work.

You even talked Paul Cain
into making an offer on TV

- to pay a ransom.
- That was Paul's idea.

Come on, Katy.

Where's Chivers?

Where's Kyle?

It'll be better for you
if you tell us now.

If you care even just
a little bit about your son...

I love Kyle! I love my son,
and I care about him.

I know you think
I'm a bad mother, but it is hard...

I can't control him

and I am fed up of fighting with him.

I knew...

I know I should get him away
from Paul Cain.

I know I should get Kyle away from him,

- but...
- Why? You love Paul Cain.

I know. But I shouldn't.

But you can't help it with him.

- He does that to people.
- Does what?

I don't know. He draws people to him.

Kyle?

All Kyle talks about is his dad.

He's so desperate for a dad,
and I can't give him that

and you can't get away
from Paul Cain on that estate.

His bloody ice cream van's
going everywhere,

- all hours of the day and...
- Stop.

We've got this the wrong way round.

Right, let's try this. Instead of
minicabs, read ice cream vans.

Instead of Jimmy Chivers,
read Paul Cain.

Suppose the heroin Kyle was holding onto

wasn't for Jimmy Chivers,

it was for his dad, Paul Cain.

Yeah, it does fit.

Cain's business interests,
tax and VAT returns.

When he takes over
the family concern two years ago,

it's running at a loss.
It's on its last legs.

Twelve months later, big spike in
profits and the cash keeps rolling in.

Yeah, exactly.
Cain's the perfect target for extortion.

A drug dealer doesn't go to the police.

And who's better placed to identify him

as the perfect target than Katy Heath?

She's got motive and opportunity.

Katy Heath, why do you...

...keep going back to Katy Heath?

She doesn't know if it's
New Year or New York.

There's no way she's capable of...

Stop undermining me!
You won't replace me any quicker!

Cain's pulling out cash.

Cain's making withdrawals
from different bank accounts.

Tens of thousands.
Sounds like he's in a hurry.

Annie, Ken, follow Paul Cain,

let's see if he leads us
to Chivers and Kyle.

- We're on our way.
- Helen, my office.

You gonna tell me what's been going on?

Nothing. I'm fine.

It's not Annie's fault or Katy Heath's

that your son's been arrested.

I saw it on the database.

Steven Morton. Breaking and entering.

Boozy party at the old Holton factory.

What am I going to do?

Yes.

Sorry. This just came back

from the Andre Petri crime scene.

Three sets of footprints.
Size six trainers.

The same size and make
as Kyle was wearing.

Accompanied by a male and female.

Thanks, Brian.

So Andre Petri was buried there
10 days ago.

Kyle's been taken there
after he was kidnapped,

but before we discovered the body.

Why?

If this is kidnap and ransom,

why would Chivers break cover
and take Kyle to see Andre's grave?

I'm on Cain.

Eyes on subject. Eyes on subject.
Leaving premises, heading north.

Subject one has entered a passage
off Miller Street.

Is now on foot. Repeat,
he is now on foot.

I have eyes on him.
Has anyone else got eyes on him?

Unit three. Eyes on subject.

He's heading towards a tunnel
that leads up towards Treadgold Street.

Copy that. OK, I'm heading
round there now.

Keep your eyes on him.

Subject has stopped in passageway.

He's on his phone.
Repeat, subject is on his phone.

We'll try to trace, over.

Suppose that we're right.

Paul Cain is the drug dealer,

the perfect target, where does that
leave us with Jimmy Chivers?

That he is what he seems.
A reformed character.

Hardened criminal turned
pillar of the community.

A minicab driver.

He knows this estate,
but he's seen its darker side

and it's got to him.
He wants to save the place.

What did Katy say?
He's been banging on about...

...good and evil and saving us all.

- Yes.
- What about the footprints?

Well, they're Chivers'.

He takes Kyle to where Andre's buried.

To where Kyle knows
that Andre is buried.

I'm just at the other end of the tunnel.

- I see him. Eyes on subject.
- Unit two standing by, over.

I have a car on approach.

Received.

Driver and passenger.
Passenger looks like a child.

- This could be it.
- OK.

As soon as we see Kyle, we move.

Do not allow subject one
contact with Kyle.

I'm standing by.
Unit two standing by.

He's off the phone.

We're on. He's dropped the money.
Repeat, he has dropped the money.

Understood.

Vehicle is approaching.

It's not Kyle. Repeat, it's not Kyle.

With the proximity of the cab office
to Pleasuredrome,

Chivers could have picked Kyle up
countless times.

Got to know the lad. Formed a real bond.

Sees too many similarities
to his own childhood,

decides enough's enough,
I've got to step in.

I think Jimmy's trying to rescue Kyle.

He's moving off, he's moving away.

I've lost visual with subject one.

Repeat, I've lost visual
with subject one.

- I can't see him.
- Pick him up.

Pick him up, pick him up now.

Moving in.

He's not here. Repeat. Cain's not here.

No visual contact.

There's a way out.
There's another way out.

Does anyone have eyes on Cain?
Does anybody have eyes on Cain?

Negative.

It looks like it goes back
up to North Street.

He's going to the car!

Proceeding to Treadgold Street
in case he doubles back, over.

Where is he? Where's his car?

Shit. We've lost him.

They changed plan.
Cain's gone and we've lost him, Alan.

- You've lost him?
- He's left the money.

We wait and pick up
whoever comes for it.

Alan?

Are you there?

Yeah, thanks, Annie. Wait there.

Chivers isn't coming
for that money, is he?

No, he doesn't want to extort Paul Cain,

he wants to judge him.

And if we're right...

We know where he is.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong about you.

I let them take Kyle that night.

I could see it in Kyle's eyes.
He wanted to go,

he chose to go.

And you know what I thought?
Why I let him go?

I thought I'll get a few weeks
without him, a bit of freedom.

A bit of fun, my old life back.
The old Katy, you know.

So I just stood back
and I let them take my little boy

and now he's gone and it's my fault.

Hey. Look at me, Katy. Look at me.

We're gonna find Kyle.

We're gonna bring him home.

Jimmy?

I don't understand.

You will.

What happened here to Andre,

that could've been you, Kyle.

You gotta remember that.

This is the real choice now.

I remember when I was your age, Kyle,

I made some bad choices.

I lost a whole life.

That's not gonna happen to you, kid.

Let's go, Kyle.

Stay where you are, please, Kyle.

I've dropped the money.
Stop pissing me about.

I'm just getting you clear
of any police surveillance. That's all.

You're maybe not as smart
as you think you are.

They're sitting waiting for you
to pick the money up.

Have you thought of that?

You see this man? For him,

everything's a commodity.

Everything is about money.

But this...

This isn't about money.

You see this man? Your dad?

What are you talking about, mate?

He walked out on you
even before you were born.

That was a mistake, Kyle.

Then he comes back into your life

and he drags you into the drugs trade.

Evil.

That's the only word. Is evil.

Now, I'm showing you this, Kyle,

because I want you to think

what kind of father

would send out his own son

to bury poor little Andre
like he's a dog?

What kind of man would do that

to his own flesh and blood, his own son?

Kyle, I sent you out with the lads

to bury that boy to teach you a lesson.

Never, ever mess with that stuff.

And you never will, will you?

No.

Now,

I'm giving the boy a structure

and a routine,

things his mother could never give him.

But I can.

Me and Chelsea,

we could take him far away from here.

He can't go back to his mum,
she's not fit,

- and you...
- Come on, Kyle. Let's go.

He's leading you into a life...

It happened to me, Kyle.

I chose evil over good...

It's what we talked about.
Right and wrong.

All right, mate.

I get it.

You've been in prison, eh?

You've got the scars, the tats.

I spent some time inside myself.

I've met 100 guys like you.

I work with guys like you.

You know nothing about me, mate.

You've read your Bible
from cover to cover.

"I am the way, the truth,
the light," blah, blah, blah.

And your missus over there?

Some wounded healer
you met in rehab, eh?

Drawn to your sincerity
and your intensity, was she?

Like some fly to shit?

You don't know me.

Come on, son.

Back to mine?

Game of pool? First to 11, eh?

I'm sorry, Jimmy.

- Do not smile at me.
- Jimmy!

Stop it!

Stop, both...

Jimmy! Stop.

It's over.

Come on.

It's pointless, Jimmy.

You kill him,

you go to prison for 20 years.

What happens to Kyle then? Think!

You meant well,

but it was never gonna work.

Kyle, look at me.

I'm Detective Chief Inspector
Alan Banks.

I'm a policeman.

I know your dad's in the
heroin business, you know it too.

But right now, I've got nothing
to prove it except you.

I need you to tell the truth
about what your dad's been doing.

Listen,

your dad is destroying your estate.

He's using kids like you,

like Andre to do it for him.

You need to go home.

Kyle, your real home.

To your mum.

Now, I know her.
I know she's not perfect

but she loves you
and she's ready to protect you

and look after you

if you tell us everything
about your father.

I'll tell you.

Good lad.

- Jimmy?
- It's all right.

Hi, love.

Thank you.

Come on.

Kyle Heath.

Now that boy's got some excuse

for doing what he did, but you?

What's your excuse?

You don't have one, do you?

Because you've got a good home
and two good parents

and I'm getting sick

of having to deal with middle-class...

You know what... I'm supposed to be
giving you a bollocking.

Early intervention we call it.

But I'm too tired for that.

Listen, Steven, you're only gonna be
a teenager for another couple of years

and your mother'll annoy
the crap out of you

and then you'll grow up
and think the world of her.

I tell you, that woman,

your mother...

Everything by the manual.

Parenting and policing.

But you know what?

If your mum wasn't there,

doing it by the book,

where would you be?

And where would I be?

So, please, just...

Behave.

Thanks. Thanks, boss.

What're you doing?

Just tidying up.

The whiteboard or the world?

Just the whiteboard for now.

I think it's tidy enough.

Fancy a pint?

- Oh, I'd love a pint. I really would.
- Come on.

I'm buying.
