Five Days (2007–2010): Season 1, Episode 5 - Day Seventy Nine - full transcript
(theme music playing )
Foster: I must remind you
that you are still under caution.
You do not have
to say anything,
but it may harm
your defense
if you do not mention,
when questioned,
something you later
rely on in court.
Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
Nawaz:
There's no number plates on it.
The wheels are
gone, obviously,
and the kids have stripped
everything out on the inside.
Same kids who wouldn't think
of calling the police.
Around here?
You must be joking.
- So who did find it?
- Community Support Officer.
Found the ASBO baby
smoking a joint in the back...
of what might
just be the van
where Leanne bought
her flowers.
Sorry, guv, I'm going to be late
for this bail application.
Leave you my umbrella?
Matt: I used to think you were
holding out on me.
I thought,
"It's all right,
because they know lots of stuff
they're just not telling me about.
Operational reasons."
But you don't know
any more than I do,
and you never have.
Let's just talk about why
you're here today, shall we, Matt?
Why we're here is because
you're not doing your job.
You were arrested for assault
occasioning actual bodily harm.
He won't keep away
from us.
Francis:
She's mine.
She lived with me
for three months
when she first
got rescued.
It was me who nursed
her back to health.
We meet
in the street.
I mean,
what am I supposed to do?
Pretend I don't know her?
Not say hello?
You haven't got the sense
you were born with, have you?
Matt:
I shouldn't have hit him.
I'm especially ashamed of doing it
in front of the children.
But this is a man
who wants a piece
of our grief so bad
that he confesses
to killing their mother
and then has
the nerve
to cross the road to tell them
their dog looks sad.
- Where are you going?
- Nowhere.
You'll get
in worse trouble
if you miss
French again.
Like I care.
I hate French!
Mom's doing one of her
spaghetti nights later.
I don't need you feeling
sorry for me, Jaime.
You need
your mates though.
Everyone needs
their mates.
I can't stay
the night.
Francis:
It's a well-known fact
that 40% of murderers don't
remember the actual moment.
You go into denial
because of the trauma.
Francis,
you didn't do it.
You can't even drive.
You got no car,
no license, no way of getting
all the way across town
to that lay-by in time
to do anything to Leanne.
You were tucked up
in front of neighbors.
- We've been through this 100 times.
- I've dreamt of killing her.
That's just
wishful thinking,
- and it's because she took your dog.
- That dog was important to me.
Shut up about
the bloody dog.
You were very lucky
to avoid a charge
of wasting police time.
Yeah well, well done,
because now I'm gonna
do you for an offense
under the Protection
from Harassment Act.
It was him
killed her.
That's my theory--
me and everyone else.
How is it gonna look
when it comes out in court
that you made a false confession
to murder?
Who's gonna
wanna give money
to your dog shelter
after that?
Eh?
Daddy's gonna get back
and find the prettiest girl
in the whole wide world, isn't he?
( sighs )
Fancy you having to chase
after reporters on this job.
Oh, once a story
goes off the board,
it's a nightmare
cranking it back up.
And you've gotta keep prodding
at people's memories somehow.
A bit droopy,
these wings.
Right.
Arms up. Up.
( gasps )
Where has she gone?
( gasps )
There she is.
- All right, well, don't wriggle.
- Careful.
Barbara: Do it out there,
darling, please.
Sorry to be rude,
Mrs. Poole,
- but I have to get back.
- Oh, that's all right, dear.
- It's stopped raining at least.
- Wanna say hello to Grandma?
Couldn't shut me up for trying one time,
could we, Rosie?
Well, that's progress...
of a sort.
- ( chuckles )
- Because today
he actually managed to stay
in school till almost lunchtime.
( faucet running )
Anyone would think he doesn't
trust me to look after her.
No, it's not
about you, is it?
I mean, he doesn't
trust anyone with her.
Well, won't you
stay for tea?
Or a glass of wine?
I'll put an ice bucket in the fridge.
I need to get home.
I promised my mom.
- You young women and your poor moms.
- ( chuckles )
Bye, you two!
Ethan:
Bye, Simone!
Rosie, bye.
( door slams )
It's getting hard to remember
the child she was before.
( door opens )
( door closes )
Tops: No, they're really
sweet pictures, Josh.
- They're lovely.
- Josh: It's a bit desperate, isn't it?
Six weeks since you found
the body,
and you're trying to grease my palm
with sweet-ickle-bickle-kiddy-pics.
You can have
them exclusive.
I love a nice dead blonde
as much as the next guy.
And the kids are sweet enough,
but the husband?
I mean, let's get real.
I'm not a racist.
I'm really not, but you're dealing
with a mass audience.
You need
an everyman hero
that they can
all identify with.
And he can't
be a black guy?
He'll cut it just fine
if it turns out
he killed her.
( sobbing )
I love you.
I love you,
Leanne.
( men shouting )
Sir, the defense appreciates
these are very serious allegations
that the defendant faces.
However, no forensic
evidence has yet
been produced
in this case.
And further, you'll see that
the defendant has not been charged
with any offense
in these matters
relating to sexual
or physical assault.
So the very stringent conditions
that we are suggesting
are that he is subject
to a rigorous daily curfew,
that he appears at a police station
every day,
and that he lives
and sleeps every night
at his mother's
known and fixed address.
Magistrate:
I am satisfied that if granted bail,
there is a significant risk
you may interfere with witnesses.
No, you can't send me
back in there.
You will therefore
be remanded in custody.
But they've got
nothing on me.
They've got nothing on me!
They've got nothing on me!
It's not safe for me in there.
It's not safe!
( men shouting,
banging )
( men chanting )
Nonce, nonce, fucking nonce!
- Nonce, nonce, fucking nonce!
- They can't get at you.
Don't lock me
in here with them.
Simmer down!
This isn't gonna get you anywhere!
You're gonna
hurt yourself.
You heard her, shut up.
Watch him.
No! Stop!
Go after him!
Can I see that?
( phone ringing )
D.S. Foster.
( chuckles )
Oi.
Shaky,
butterfingers,
have you lost
something today?
What?
Don't take
your coat off.
Tops: The prisoner was in the custody
of a private security company
when he absconded
after a routine remand hearing.
He's not thought
to be armed,
but the public are warned not
to approach him.
Now count to 10.
( chuckles )
You've got spinach
in your teeth.
Matt:
This one here,
He's got dodgy wrists, so don't put
him on the rowing machine.
Even the cross trainer
is a bit-- what?
The bastard's out.
Man on TV:...who escaped
from a bail hearing earlier today.
Betts is described
as being 28...
( groaning )
( sirens wailing )
Hey, Granddad.
No, I don't want you
to keep coming all this way.
A child your age...
exposed to this?
I brought you a paper
and a pen.
You keep losing them, plonker.
For the crossword.
It's not as though
I'm ill.
Daft, yes.
Selfish.
( sobbing )
Stupid.
( sighs )
Blow.
Grandma still hasn't come
to see you, has she?
Well, she's fed up with me.
No change there then.
She keeps telling people
what you did was an accident.
Lke, how is that
gonna help?
It's me you should
be angry with, Tanya,
not your grandma.
She's been so strong
and looking after
you all.
Whereas
look at me--
useless.
I haven't sat on a bus
for about nine hours
to listen to you beat
yourself up all over again.
Your grandma was the best thing
that ever happened to me...
until your mom
came along.
And then you of course.
You love Mom
the most though.
You might
as well admit it.
Well, you know all about, you know,
fathers and daughters.
When Mom was...
just missing
I was glad.
No, not glad,
but I just thought, "Now my dad
will have to come back for me."
I'm like, "Duh."
You'll always
love your dad.
You can't have an ex-dad.
Hmm.
I think the world
might be a better place
without all this
love going on,
because all it does is make
people hurt each other.
Otherwise,
life would be so lonely.
It's lonely anyway.
There's that one mystery
for you anyway.
It's got to be Kyle who killed
Leanne, or why do a runner?
The bosses never
fancied him for it.
What about you?
It doesn't matter
what I think, does it?
As long as everyone
backs off,
and doesn't start
interfering.
- Are you talking about me?
- I'm talking about Matt.
I don't know what you two
got up to fighting in Yugoslavia, Gary,
but I don't want you two
letting him do anything stupid.
Before you issue your bleeding
heart warnings, mate,
I should warn you. I would murder Kyle
myself if I get my hands on him.
( chuckles )
I'm not having
any vigilante bullocks, Gary.
Not on my watch.
Do you understand?
We're soldiers,
me and Matt.
It means we know
how to do as we're told.
Don't worry. I won't let him
out of my sight.
Foster:
Okay, I'm with you so far,
but how does this prove
that Kyle and your
Macedonian mate were both in
- on the snide cigarettes together?
- Well, just say they were.
It could place Kyle and Branko
in the layby together
when Leanne got out
to buy her flowers.
The children never
saw Kyle there.
Yeah, but if Kyle was inside
the flower wagon with Branko,
they wouldn't,
would they?
Handing over
the boxes,
sorting out
the money,
- organizing the next shipment.
- Exactly.
And what if Leanne had a go?
"l know who you are. You're selling
cancer sticks to my granddad.
You should be ashamed.
I'm gonna go to the police."
What, so Leanne died because
she was a health fascist?
Leanne died because
she loved her granddad.
Amy, just remember
what sort of pressure
she was under that day.
Okay...
so Leanne has just had a row
with Matt on the phone.
She's scared that
he's having it off
with that horrible little Danielle
from the gym,
and at some point she's gotta
tell him that she's pregnant
and he's not
gonna like that.
So she's wound up
because of Matt,
but she goes off on one
with Kyle.
And there's all that gravel
in her hair, remember?
So maybe Kyle
just pushed her,
she fell,
cracked her head,
Kyle panics,
Branko panics,
they put her back
into the wagon...
and then they dump
her in the lake.
So why did Kyle
go back for the kids?
I'm still working on that.
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
All that theory from
from one little fag packet
that could have
come from anywhere.
Okay, so it's not evidence,
- but look, it's cheered me up.
- Well, that's a result then.
( sighs )
Eat before you come, because
I'm not doing the food, okay?
All the times Kyle wandered in
off the street,
I never took him serious.
He stood there in his
poxy supermarket combats.
"Got any S.A.S. Posters
to give away, mate?"
Role model now?
( chuckles )
Dozy little wannabe. At least
that's what I thought at the time.
Matt: I just want to know
what happened.
What he knows,
what he's not telling the police.
I don't want to hurt him.
Yes, you do.
Yeah, all right.
I wanna tear his face off.
Maybe this is one of the things
we're not meant to tell people.
I can't remember now.
( sighs )
Gary, whoever put Leanne
in that water must have--
Look Matt,
whatever you do now,
nobody in this whole country
is gonna blame you.
Nobody at all.
Look, Shanti,
the reason I'm calling.
We've got a carpet-fibers
analysis lurking in an in-tray
somewhere in your
subterranean depths.
Well, you know
we only do "urgent"
- if you pay through the nose for it.
- All right, don't worry.
I'm not asking you to do it.
Just find out where
it's got to in the system,
sort of a leaving present.
He won't come to me,
will he?
He still thinks
it's all my fault.
He doesn't have a whole lot
of options, Mrs. Betts.
He's got no money,
no phone,
not even a belt to hold
his trousers up.
You're going to be watching
my house?
That's not
for me to say.
But if he makes contact,
if he turns up--
Give my son up again?
It's for his own safety.
She's coming back.
- Persuade her to have a word with me.
- She won't.
She thinks you're
a little prick.
Not that she would use language
like that of course.
Twist her around
your little finger.
Hazel!
Hazel?
Hazel!
Hazel!
- What's happening?
- Get her to promise to tell you
- if he gets in touch.
- Oh! Oh.
That wasn't my fault.
I didn't mean anything.
Fuck. Is he all right?
Just get out of the way.
Get off him!
I don't know why
he even talks to you.
- Because I come and see him.
- Yeah, only when you want something.
- And you won't talk to him!
- Vic: Stop it!
Don't talk to her like that.
I think I felt something go, Hazel.
( Vic groaning )
Woman on TV:
Draw on a big smile now.
- No, don't!
- Don't!
- Ethan: Don't, stop!
- No, no.
We're playing at being asleep.
How to be Mommy.
Can we go home to our house?
Rosie doesn't like it here.
( phone ringing )
( sighs )
( beeps )
Sarah, this is
Barbara Poole.
I'm sorry to ring
you like this,
but I really don't
know who else to ask.
Free free.
Free free.
Free free free.
30 years of slavery.
Oh, free at last.
I'm gonna be stuck
up here for hours now.
Yeah well, don't even think
about missing my party.
You think you've
seen me in a temper?
You're wrong.
See you later then.
Oh, yes.
Men in my family know how
to pick their moments.
That pervert
on the loose,
and here's my dad
carted off to hospital,
Matthew getting
himself arrested...
and John-- well, he's out
for the count.
I was very sorry to hear
about your husband, Mrs. Poole.
"l want to be man enough
to say goodbye," he said.
I mean, what is it with
these men, Sarah?
Here's me that
gave birth to her.
He has to go
and take an overdose,
get carried off to a hospital
and have his stomach pumped.
I can remember
Leanne as she was.
All he can remember
is that thing,
that poor...
broken thing.
Five weeks dead.
But you have to go on,
don't you?
You have to survive
for the children's sake.
I mean, whatever
happens in life,
you can't just give in.
I know I sound hard to you.
I lost my job today.
And it's nothing
compared to--
I know.
It's who you are.
( car honking )
Here's my cab.
I can't say
how long I'll be.
Well, I brought
my toothbrush.
But Mrs. Poole,
I am a bit worried.
What shall I do if Matt comes back
and finds me here with the children?
We're not--
we haven't spoken
since the day
Leanne was found.
We had a few days of non-speaking
with him ourselves.
But if Matt
starts moaning
about who does
the childcare,
he can start by spending
more time at home.
Ethan: Sarah!
I've missed you too.
Please can we go
to our house now?
Would you mind?
Barbara: Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Oh, Mrs. Poole,
he'll be so glad to see you.
Look who's here, Vic.
I'm not staying here.
A hospital at my age.
Get carted out in a box.
Well, what's he doing
out here in the corridor?
Well, they said it wouldn't
be for too long.
I'll take over now.
Thank you, Hazel.
Right, well,
I've got to go now, love.
If I don't
get out of here...
- there will be trouble.
- I just want you to know
You've been like
a daughter to me.
Have you been drinking?
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Who do I have to see to get
anything done around here?
We are watching his
mother's house, aren't we?
There's going to be an obs van
outside all night,
- Jenny, listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.
We're three months
into this inquiry.
11 weeks into an inquiry you said yourself
could make or break this force.
We're staring
at the long haul now,
and long haul
equals small staff.
The common-sense view would be
that once things get difficult,
I actually need
more investigators.
You just used
a rude word.
"Common sense," yeah.
Return four more detectives
to core duties from Monday,
and don't just
send me the rubbish.
You're pulling my team apart
just when we have a chance.
Oh, and I've had a specific request
for your CHlS handler.
No, l-l-I can't do without Jim.
The blessed St. Francis has decided
not to press charges over the assault.
Good.
Well done, terrific.
Um, Jim...
Next for the chop, am l?
Soon I'll be
the last man standing.
Sarah:
"And for all I know,
he is sitting there still.
He is very happy."
Rosie's asleep.
( whispering )
No no no no.
Don't wake her up.
It's time you were asleep too.
- No!
- No, it's late.
Oh, sorry.
You like the light on.
It's okay if you stay.
Just for a little
while then.
Did your mommy
read you stories?
Oh.
Yes, she did, I think.
Did a bad man kill her?
Yes.
A bad man killed her...
and I was really really sad
For a long time, just like you.
I'll kiss you better
if you like.
I'd like that.
( chuckles )
- ( door opens )
- ( footsteps approaching )
Is that Daddy?
What the fuck
are you doing here?
Oh, Jesus.
- You gave me a shock.
- Excuse me, I live here.
I was feeding the dog. And that's my
dressing gown, thank you very much.
- Ethan: Sarah!
- Tanya: Is that the kids?
Are you here on your own
with my kids?
Stop fighting!
Everyone's
always fighting.
( sighs )
Foster:
The man was in a white van
with writing on the side,
wasn't he?
Was it big writing?
- It was dirty.
- The van was dirty?
Rosie got into the dirty van.
Foster:
Ethan, it's all right. Come sit down.
( chatting )
- Hello.
- ( cheering )
Tanya: my friend Jaime's always
onto me, like, come to hers
because her mom's doing
a curry or whatever.
And I go round,
like tonight,
and every time I forget
and every time it happens.
And I've got to sit there
while I eat my curry--
well, it's spaghetti
tonight, but whatever.
I've gotta sit there
while they all go like this.
- ( moans sympathetically )
- Rubbing your nose in it, yeah?
You getting on
better with Matt?
Not much choice really.
Everyone says you only hung around
with us to get into his knickers.
Ouch.
But it wasn't
about him, was it?
It was about the children.
So why do you never come
and see them anymore?
Not invited.
Did you and Matt
have a fight?
Well, if we did,
I missed it.
You were with him
when they found my mom...
and he can't stand it.
Bloody hell,
the state of him.
God, I used
to really fancy him.
No, he was always a fat git.
Well, he's fat and bald now.
Oy!
Mal, you evil bastard.
What, have you come
to "review" my party?
Why don't you get
the fuck off back to London?
Yeah, I love you too and all.
Get that down here.
Did I ever shag you?
I can't remember.
Neither can l.
Tops:
Do you think she minds?
Leaving the biggest job
of her career half-cocked?
We don't do pink and fluffy stuff
like minding, remember?
I would. I'd mind.
I got kicked off it
myself today.
It's just a job, right?
( cheering )
Right, now I know
I said, "no speeches..."
- Man: All right!
-...but it's my party
- and I'm the governor.
- ( cheering )
No no no,
shut the fuck up,
You gobby gits or someone
will call the police!
( cheering )
I thought you said,
"No speeches."
Foster:
Well, well, well,
It's a woman's perogat-- pr-pro--
perog-- perogatude.
Easy for you to say.
( all laugh )
Anyway,
it won't be a long one.
Well, not unless
I get lucky tonight,
and that will be a first.
No, listen, honestly everyone.
I just wanted to say...
That I've done
30 years in this job,
and... frankly, it's been
a bloody nightmare.
I didn't like the hours.
I didn't like the bosses.
I didn't like the villains.
I didn't like the aggravation,
and, well, half the time
I didn't really like
the victims either.
- You liked the overtime.
- Foster: Oh, yeah.
I was going to say...
that the one thing
I liked was the mates.
- Ah.
- But I take that all back,
- Because you're a bunch of tossers!
- ( all cheer )
No, seriously though.
Seriously, I mean,
It's been
a really great life,
and that's because
of all of you lot.
Well, I want us all
to stay in touch.
All right?
Because, I mean,
we're like one big family,
aren't we?
Only better.
No no no.
Really, I mean...
well, I mean,
What am I gonna do
without all you lot?
What am I gonna
do tomorrow?
Get a cat?
Become one of those
pathetic cat women.
( imitates cat )
Help her out, Jim.
Yeah, shall I get her down
before she makes a tit of herself?
( scattered laughter )
Yeah yeah,
you can all laugh,
But it's coming
to you all.
Come on, baby.
Come down.
Open the box!
Take the money!
- I don't want it.
- Come on, darling.
- ( chuckles )
- ( applause )
I need a drink.
Gary:
The only other place he ever goes
is the jobcentre, and they don't
exactly welcome midnight callers.
He was always
at the gym apparently.
Weird that I never
remember seeing him there.
Snuck under the radar.
It's like old times, this.
Soldiers sitting about waiting
for the firing to start.
( phone rings )
Jim beam. What?
I can't hear you.
I said, "I'm with Matt."
he's in the car.
I told him I was
going for a slash.
Listen, he's in the car outside
Kyle's house.
- I'll get right onto it.
- No no, why I'm ringing
is to say
call your lads off,
because there's no way I'm gonna
let him get into more trouble.
Just do him a favor
and take him home, Gary. All right?
Sorry, mate, but I can't leave
you responsible.
Look at you.
Walking away with
your full pension,
not yet 50,
a life ahead of you.
How many
of that lot in there
Do you think
I'll ever see again?
Yeah, but it's not
like that, is it?
It's not a family.
It's a job.
I don't want to go home.
I should think not.
You can't leave your own party.
Take me somewhere.
Come on, Jim.
Make it a night to remember.
All right, don't let yourself
down now, Sarge.
You must have noticed
that I like you.
Yeah, Amy,
I'm very flattered,
but it's because
you're out of your head.
Jesus!
Get off me.
Why don't you
come back inside?
Who are you
looking at like that?
Piss off, turkey.
Gobble gobble gobble.
Oh, for God's sake.
The modern world.
Look at the pair of you.
You know I don't
mean any offense.
If you don't mean it,
Sarge, don't say it.
Your mother never tell you the one
about sticks and stones?
In our country, our mothers
teach us not to get pissed,
stand on a table
and make a tit of ourselves.
Your country.
You were born
in fucking Luton.
Hey, come on, you.
Hello.
A knight
on a white charger.
Oh, am I not allowed to say that
anymore either?
- Oh.
- Come on.
Foster: Hang on, hang on.
I'm all right.
Oh, Dad.
You gave me a shock.
You should be looking
after your husband.
He's best where
he is for now.
Why did you ever
get married, Barbara?
Oh, dad!
What a question! I fell in love.
I sometimes wonder
if you ever
really loved anyone
In your whole life.
I loved you.
Daddy's girl.
Bad choice.
One-way street in our family,
the love thing.
Now you're being daft.
You never
even liked me.
And I was so dense,
I didn't see it
until Leanne was born.
And you and Mom
came to see me in this hospital.
And you took that
baby in your arms,
and I saw you
fall in love with her.
And my heart broke.
Jealous of your
own daughter?
I never came first
for any of you.
Your mother
had this idea
that sometimes
people were just born
into the wrong families.
She would say,
"The stork took
a wrong turning there."
New bloody shoes.
What was I thinking?
- Coffee?
- Scotch.
Coffee it is then.
Now I hope you're not
expecting a shag,
Because I've got
my standards, you know.
( laughs )
( Egyptian music playing )
( laughs )
It's been a long time since there
was a woman in this house doing that.
Yeah, the last one knew
what she was doing, right?
Well...
( volume increases )
She did it in bare feet,
generally speaking.
( laughs )
Woo!
Gary:
I don't know, mate.
If they catch us
out here again--
Then we move on again.
You like getting arrested,
do you?
I'm getting used to it.
Say Kyle was to walk around
that corner right now
and you got to ask him
all your questions.
What's to say he would
tell you the truth?
What, there are worse things
than not knowing?
As long as I live,
I'm gonna know my lovely wife
was too scared
to tell me she was
having my child.
My kids are with
their grandmother tonight
because I've got so I can hardly
even bear to look at them.
To look at them every day,
see Leanne in them
and know that's all
I got left of her.
Barclay: You could
put yourself in the paper.
"Feisty female.
Time on her hands."
"Seeks younger man
to make a fool
of herself with... again."
( laughs )
How long was it
before you stopped looking your wife's
stars as well as your own?
I'm into astronomy, Amy,
not astrology.
See Orion up there?
The mighty hunter.
Boasted there wasn't an animal
on earth he couldn't kill.
So the gods sent
a scorpion
to kill him dead.
- And yes, my wife was a Scorpio.
- ( chuckles )
And I do still
sometimes look,
- only 'cause she always did.
- You're such a bloody girl.
( laughs )
Now, you see that
big bright one?
- Mmm.
- That's the mighty hunter's faithful doggie.
Thanks.
That little mushy part, see?
It all looks mushy to me.
That's the Pleiades,
the seven sisters
he loved and lost.
Still chasing them, he is.
Chasing them forever
across the night sky.
I didn't tell anyone.
Okay okay okay.
- Not anyone, not even Daddy.
- Shh.
- Am I a good girl?
- Yeah.
Look.
Rosie, I'm sorry.
Can we go
and wake her up now?
( sobbing )
( Gem barking )
Rosie!
- Sarah: Ethan, Rosie?
- I saw the man.
I saw him. He was here,
coming to Rosie.
Can we go and see
Mommy today?
'Cause look, I picked her
some flowers.
Danielle:
Sorry! Sorry.
Sorry, I'm not late, am l?
( alarm beeping )
In you come then.
Just give me two seconds.
Oh, look at you.
Eyes like piss-holes
in the snow.
Been out clubbing?
If I was Matt,
I would get a hold of him
and rip him
limb from limb.
( phone ringing )
Oh.
D.S. Foster.
- Oh, hi, this is Shanti.
- Ex-D.S. Foster,
- retired.
-Thanks. Who?
- Shanti.
- Oh yeah, hi, Shanti.
Hi, I tried
calling you yesterday,
but you weren't
in your office.
No no, I left
the office a bit early.
Well, no worries.
It's just I found your carpet fibers
in the in-tray
of a colleague
Who's gone on a course
for a month.
The case was
95% done,
so I thought as a special favor,
and since it's you,
"I'll finish the last 5%."
We've got a match.
This place was ramped out with
Leanne's DNA and fingerprints.
The world and his wife
left their DNA in here.
Leanne visited her
grandad all the time.
You had to discount it.
It's not evidence.
Right now I don't give
a stuff about evidence.
She scraped up
this carpet
to show us where
she was held, Amy.
She gave us all
the help she could.
Short of a note
telling us who done it.
In the dim
and distant past
when I was still
a police officer,
we turned this place
inside out.
We never searched here
until after Rosie was found.
Yes, because the family
didn't think to tell us
that this place
even existed.
Even then,
we didn't do the drains,
or the sinks.
We didn't take off the walls.
It wasn't a murder scene then,
and we don't know
that it's one now.
For god's sake--
Would you just calm down?
You're like a bloody old woman.
You're fretting and panicking.
Leanne and Rosie were in here together.
We know that now.
At least some of the time
they were in this caravan together.
So why didn't Rosie say?
Why did she never say?
Now look what
you made me do.
Shame we couldn't wrap this one up
on your watch, Amy.
I would like to have seen it
through with you.
I'm going home.
You can finish
this one on your own.
Let me know how it turns out,
if you wanna live.
The wife's idea of a bloody birthday
present this is.
She wants the gorgeous hunk
she married back.
I were bigger then
- than I am now.
- ( chuckles )
Gents are having to use
a disabled loo today.
Till the plumber comes
to fix the system.
Sorry about that.
You don't want fleecing
by some chuffing plumber.
No, you don't, Rawdon.
Gary, stop him.
Started a sodding flood the last time
he tried to be helpful,
And I got the blame.
- 10 quid says it's your ball cock.
- ( gasps )
Oh my god.
There was a car.
I got knocked over by a car.
- I think I need an ambulance.
- Danielle: Bugger that!
I'm gonna go and get Matt.
It's okay.
I'm a first-aider.
( grunting )
( groaning )
- Don't! Don't!
- What the fuck did you come here for?
I thought,
"What would a soldier do?
What would Gary do?"
- He would have kept his trap shut.
- I never told.
- I never.
- Well, you're gonna have to tell now, boy.
You're gonna have to tell
what you did to her.
What you did
all on your own.
It really hurts.
Maybe I'll get you a doctor.
Call the police.
Do it now.
- Climbed in through a window.
- A car knocked me over.
- A car when I was running away.
- Gary: Shut it
with your whining
or you're a dead man.
No no, not like that.
You know what I want?
I want... the truth.
My mommy's got
lots of red things.
She's got a red dress,
red shoes
and a red special teapot
that Daddy gave her.
Red was my mommy's
favorite color too.
( chuckles )
Let me do this.
Matt:
Why were you in the layby
- in the first place?
- It's where we used to sort the money.
There in the layby.
So I'm in the back
of the flower wagon,
and I hear Leanne,
and she's going off on one,
bollocking Branko.
"Oh, you two,
you're selling cancer sticks
to my granddad.
You're killing
my granddad."
And Branko hit her.
It was only a shove.
A bit of a shove,
But she just went down...
and hit her head.
She just laid there.
Branko was--
was beside himself.
Like, what if he got
sent back to Macedonia?
And so I said,
"Let's take her
to the caravan.
- Buy time, wait."
- wait for what?
Someone to tell you
what to do?
Leanne came around.
"My kids.
I've left my kids.
They're on their own."
So I went back for them.
Is the doctor coming?
Because I'm--
Did you... touch Rosie?
Tell me the truth now
or so help me
you will need a doctor.
I've never touched
your little girl.
That is the god's
honest truth.
What did you
do to Leanne?
I didn't mean
for her to die.
But I came back...
I was too late.
I was too late.
I took her body
to the water,
and I put her in.
- I said a prayer.
- Matt: The thing is...
it wasn't too late, Kyle.
When you put her
in the water--
I didn't want to.
When you put her
in the water,
Leanne was still alive.
No.
You drowned her.
( sobbing )
No.
You came
and looked at her.
You said she was dead.
I looked up to you, Gary.
I believed you.
You?
Mommy said she was
tired and cold.
She was cold as well.
And you tried to warm her up,
didn't you?
I cuddled her
lots and lots,
but I kept falling asleep.
I tried not to, but--
will the man get
into trouble?
When the man came to see you
this morning, what did he say?
He said
I'm a good girl.
And he said,
"Sorry, Rosie."
Barclay:
So I think that means
that it's okay for you to tell.
Rosie,
it's time to tell now.
One time
when I woke up,
Mommy was
on the floor
Going, "scrape,
scrape, scrapey,"
Iike this on the floor.
She said, "Come on,
it's a game."
Didn't you want to play?
I cried, and she cried too,
and she fell asleep
on the floor.
And the next time
you woke up,
she was gone,
wasn't she?
If I played the game with her
like she wanted me to,
would she still be here?
No, she wouldn't.
It's not your fault.
When you told Kyle
- to dump her in the lake...
- Beam: open the door!
- ( pounding )
-...did you know she was still alive?
Beam:
Open the door now!
( groaning )
Did you know you were
ordering him to kill her?
Answer me this one.
Please answer me.
- Just this one thing.
- That's enough. Break it up.
No, don't take him,
Not until he's told me!
( grunting )
Kyle. Kyle.
Did Gary know she was still alive?
I've got to know.
Kyle, Kyle.
Kyle.
I've got a bloody cheek, haven't l,
when you think about it?
I've been
so angry with you.
And I'm paying
for it now
because it's so lonely at home.
You can't imagine.
No, of course you can.
I used to long to be alone.
You said to me once--
you said,
"When will you ever
grow up, Barbara?"
Job of a lifetime, that is.
You know, that day,
the day Leanne
disappeared...
I was making the jam.
And you didn't like it.
You said it was runny.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thoughtless.
And I thought--
Well, not right then,
But later,
I thought,
"She's wondering
if it's runny
because I didn't boil it
for long enough.
She's wondering
if I didn't boil
it for long enough
because I went out.
She's wondering if I went
out and killed Leanne."
It never occurred
to me for a moment.
You get so there's...
nothing you can
hang on to.
No one you can trust.
He admired you,
didn't he, Gary?
He looked up to you as a soldier.
I mean, they all did--
Kyle, Matt and Branko.
I never met Branko.
Not in Yugoslavia, no.
I think you're telling the truth there.
I think you met him over here.
A chance thing.
Bumped into him
in some car park
and bought some
dodgy cigarettes off him.
No comment.
Offered to help him with the organizing
for a cut of the profits.
I think Kyle and Branko
were doing your bidding
when they put Leanne
in the lake.
I think you knew
she was still alive.
And I think that means
you killed her, Gary.
Just like you
killed Branko.
Just like you put that
last boot in on Kyle.
You killed all three of them.
One after the other,
just to shut them up
and protect
your investment,
while you played
the good soldier
and the good friend.
( recorder clicking )
Change the tape.
( tape clacking )
I realize how much
I owe you, Sarah.
No, you don't.
I owe you I think.
He's slobbering
all over the balloon.
For showing me
what is possible.
I can do it, I can.
Dad, tell her!
All right, come on.
All right, come on.
That's enough fighting.
All right.
All right.
Mommy liked red ones,
didn't she?
Yeah, honey.
She loved them.
Okay, all right, all right.
Come on, let's go.
Time to go home, Gem.
Foster: I must remind you
that you are still under caution.
You do not have
to say anything,
but it may harm
your defense
if you do not mention,
when questioned,
something you later
rely on in court.
Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
Nawaz:
There's no number plates on it.
The wheels are
gone, obviously,
and the kids have stripped
everything out on the inside.
Same kids who wouldn't think
of calling the police.
Around here?
You must be joking.
- So who did find it?
- Community Support Officer.
Found the ASBO baby
smoking a joint in the back...
of what might
just be the van
where Leanne bought
her flowers.
Sorry, guv, I'm going to be late
for this bail application.
Leave you my umbrella?
Matt: I used to think you were
holding out on me.
I thought,
"It's all right,
because they know lots of stuff
they're just not telling me about.
Operational reasons."
But you don't know
any more than I do,
and you never have.
Let's just talk about why
you're here today, shall we, Matt?
Why we're here is because
you're not doing your job.
You were arrested for assault
occasioning actual bodily harm.
He won't keep away
from us.
Francis:
She's mine.
She lived with me
for three months
when she first
got rescued.
It was me who nursed
her back to health.
We meet
in the street.
I mean,
what am I supposed to do?
Pretend I don't know her?
Not say hello?
You haven't got the sense
you were born with, have you?
Matt:
I shouldn't have hit him.
I'm especially ashamed of doing it
in front of the children.
But this is a man
who wants a piece
of our grief so bad
that he confesses
to killing their mother
and then has
the nerve
to cross the road to tell them
their dog looks sad.
- Where are you going?
- Nowhere.
You'll get
in worse trouble
if you miss
French again.
Like I care.
I hate French!
Mom's doing one of her
spaghetti nights later.
I don't need you feeling
sorry for me, Jaime.
You need
your mates though.
Everyone needs
their mates.
I can't stay
the night.
Francis:
It's a well-known fact
that 40% of murderers don't
remember the actual moment.
You go into denial
because of the trauma.
Francis,
you didn't do it.
You can't even drive.
You got no car,
no license, no way of getting
all the way across town
to that lay-by in time
to do anything to Leanne.
You were tucked up
in front of neighbors.
- We've been through this 100 times.
- I've dreamt of killing her.
That's just
wishful thinking,
- and it's because she took your dog.
- That dog was important to me.
Shut up about
the bloody dog.
You were very lucky
to avoid a charge
of wasting police time.
Yeah well, well done,
because now I'm gonna
do you for an offense
under the Protection
from Harassment Act.
It was him
killed her.
That's my theory--
me and everyone else.
How is it gonna look
when it comes out in court
that you made a false confession
to murder?
Who's gonna
wanna give money
to your dog shelter
after that?
Eh?
Daddy's gonna get back
and find the prettiest girl
in the whole wide world, isn't he?
( sighs )
Fancy you having to chase
after reporters on this job.
Oh, once a story
goes off the board,
it's a nightmare
cranking it back up.
And you've gotta keep prodding
at people's memories somehow.
A bit droopy,
these wings.
Right.
Arms up. Up.
( gasps )
Where has she gone?
( gasps )
There she is.
- All right, well, don't wriggle.
- Careful.
Barbara: Do it out there,
darling, please.
Sorry to be rude,
Mrs. Poole,
- but I have to get back.
- Oh, that's all right, dear.
- It's stopped raining at least.
- Wanna say hello to Grandma?
Couldn't shut me up for trying one time,
could we, Rosie?
Well, that's progress...
of a sort.
- ( chuckles )
- Because today
he actually managed to stay
in school till almost lunchtime.
( faucet running )
Anyone would think he doesn't
trust me to look after her.
No, it's not
about you, is it?
I mean, he doesn't
trust anyone with her.
Well, won't you
stay for tea?
Or a glass of wine?
I'll put an ice bucket in the fridge.
I need to get home.
I promised my mom.
- You young women and your poor moms.
- ( chuckles )
Bye, you two!
Ethan:
Bye, Simone!
Rosie, bye.
( door slams )
It's getting hard to remember
the child she was before.
( door opens )
( door closes )
Tops: No, they're really
sweet pictures, Josh.
- They're lovely.
- Josh: It's a bit desperate, isn't it?
Six weeks since you found
the body,
and you're trying to grease my palm
with sweet-ickle-bickle-kiddy-pics.
You can have
them exclusive.
I love a nice dead blonde
as much as the next guy.
And the kids are sweet enough,
but the husband?
I mean, let's get real.
I'm not a racist.
I'm really not, but you're dealing
with a mass audience.
You need
an everyman hero
that they can
all identify with.
And he can't
be a black guy?
He'll cut it just fine
if it turns out
he killed her.
( sobbing )
I love you.
I love you,
Leanne.
( men shouting )
Sir, the defense appreciates
these are very serious allegations
that the defendant faces.
However, no forensic
evidence has yet
been produced
in this case.
And further, you'll see that
the defendant has not been charged
with any offense
in these matters
relating to sexual
or physical assault.
So the very stringent conditions
that we are suggesting
are that he is subject
to a rigorous daily curfew,
that he appears at a police station
every day,
and that he lives
and sleeps every night
at his mother's
known and fixed address.
Magistrate:
I am satisfied that if granted bail,
there is a significant risk
you may interfere with witnesses.
No, you can't send me
back in there.
You will therefore
be remanded in custody.
But they've got
nothing on me.
They've got nothing on me!
They've got nothing on me!
It's not safe for me in there.
It's not safe!
( men shouting,
banging )
( men chanting )
Nonce, nonce, fucking nonce!
- Nonce, nonce, fucking nonce!
- They can't get at you.
Don't lock me
in here with them.
Simmer down!
This isn't gonna get you anywhere!
You're gonna
hurt yourself.
You heard her, shut up.
Watch him.
No! Stop!
Go after him!
Can I see that?
( phone ringing )
D.S. Foster.
( chuckles )
Oi.
Shaky,
butterfingers,
have you lost
something today?
What?
Don't take
your coat off.
Tops: The prisoner was in the custody
of a private security company
when he absconded
after a routine remand hearing.
He's not thought
to be armed,
but the public are warned not
to approach him.
Now count to 10.
( chuckles )
You've got spinach
in your teeth.
Matt:
This one here,
He's got dodgy wrists, so don't put
him on the rowing machine.
Even the cross trainer
is a bit-- what?
The bastard's out.
Man on TV:...who escaped
from a bail hearing earlier today.
Betts is described
as being 28...
( groaning )
( sirens wailing )
Hey, Granddad.
No, I don't want you
to keep coming all this way.
A child your age...
exposed to this?
I brought you a paper
and a pen.
You keep losing them, plonker.
For the crossword.
It's not as though
I'm ill.
Daft, yes.
Selfish.
( sobbing )
Stupid.
( sighs )
Blow.
Grandma still hasn't come
to see you, has she?
Well, she's fed up with me.
No change there then.
She keeps telling people
what you did was an accident.
Lke, how is that
gonna help?
It's me you should
be angry with, Tanya,
not your grandma.
She's been so strong
and looking after
you all.
Whereas
look at me--
useless.
I haven't sat on a bus
for about nine hours
to listen to you beat
yourself up all over again.
Your grandma was the best thing
that ever happened to me...
until your mom
came along.
And then you of course.
You love Mom
the most though.
You might
as well admit it.
Well, you know all about, you know,
fathers and daughters.
When Mom was...
just missing
I was glad.
No, not glad,
but I just thought, "Now my dad
will have to come back for me."
I'm like, "Duh."
You'll always
love your dad.
You can't have an ex-dad.
Hmm.
I think the world
might be a better place
without all this
love going on,
because all it does is make
people hurt each other.
Otherwise,
life would be so lonely.
It's lonely anyway.
There's that one mystery
for you anyway.
It's got to be Kyle who killed
Leanne, or why do a runner?
The bosses never
fancied him for it.
What about you?
It doesn't matter
what I think, does it?
As long as everyone
backs off,
and doesn't start
interfering.
- Are you talking about me?
- I'm talking about Matt.
I don't know what you two
got up to fighting in Yugoslavia, Gary,
but I don't want you two
letting him do anything stupid.
Before you issue your bleeding
heart warnings, mate,
I should warn you. I would murder Kyle
myself if I get my hands on him.
( chuckles )
I'm not having
any vigilante bullocks, Gary.
Not on my watch.
Do you understand?
We're soldiers,
me and Matt.
It means we know
how to do as we're told.
Don't worry. I won't let him
out of my sight.
Foster:
Okay, I'm with you so far,
but how does this prove
that Kyle and your
Macedonian mate were both in
- on the snide cigarettes together?
- Well, just say they were.
It could place Kyle and Branko
in the layby together
when Leanne got out
to buy her flowers.
The children never
saw Kyle there.
Yeah, but if Kyle was inside
the flower wagon with Branko,
they wouldn't,
would they?
Handing over
the boxes,
sorting out
the money,
- organizing the next shipment.
- Exactly.
And what if Leanne had a go?
"l know who you are. You're selling
cancer sticks to my granddad.
You should be ashamed.
I'm gonna go to the police."
What, so Leanne died because
she was a health fascist?
Leanne died because
she loved her granddad.
Amy, just remember
what sort of pressure
she was under that day.
Okay...
so Leanne has just had a row
with Matt on the phone.
She's scared that
he's having it off
with that horrible little Danielle
from the gym,
and at some point she's gotta
tell him that she's pregnant
and he's not
gonna like that.
So she's wound up
because of Matt,
but she goes off on one
with Kyle.
And there's all that gravel
in her hair, remember?
So maybe Kyle
just pushed her,
she fell,
cracked her head,
Kyle panics,
Branko panics,
they put her back
into the wagon...
and then they dump
her in the lake.
So why did Kyle
go back for the kids?
I'm still working on that.
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
All that theory from
from one little fag packet
that could have
come from anywhere.
Okay, so it's not evidence,
- but look, it's cheered me up.
- Well, that's a result then.
( sighs )
Eat before you come, because
I'm not doing the food, okay?
All the times Kyle wandered in
off the street,
I never took him serious.
He stood there in his
poxy supermarket combats.
"Got any S.A.S. Posters
to give away, mate?"
Role model now?
( chuckles )
Dozy little wannabe. At least
that's what I thought at the time.
Matt: I just want to know
what happened.
What he knows,
what he's not telling the police.
I don't want to hurt him.
Yes, you do.
Yeah, all right.
I wanna tear his face off.
Maybe this is one of the things
we're not meant to tell people.
I can't remember now.
( sighs )
Gary, whoever put Leanne
in that water must have--
Look Matt,
whatever you do now,
nobody in this whole country
is gonna blame you.
Nobody at all.
Look, Shanti,
the reason I'm calling.
We've got a carpet-fibers
analysis lurking in an in-tray
somewhere in your
subterranean depths.
Well, you know
we only do "urgent"
- if you pay through the nose for it.
- All right, don't worry.
I'm not asking you to do it.
Just find out where
it's got to in the system,
sort of a leaving present.
He won't come to me,
will he?
He still thinks
it's all my fault.
He doesn't have a whole lot
of options, Mrs. Betts.
He's got no money,
no phone,
not even a belt to hold
his trousers up.
You're going to be watching
my house?
That's not
for me to say.
But if he makes contact,
if he turns up--
Give my son up again?
It's for his own safety.
She's coming back.
- Persuade her to have a word with me.
- She won't.
She thinks you're
a little prick.
Not that she would use language
like that of course.
Twist her around
your little finger.
Hazel!
Hazel?
Hazel!
Hazel!
- What's happening?
- Get her to promise to tell you
- if he gets in touch.
- Oh! Oh.
That wasn't my fault.
I didn't mean anything.
Fuck. Is he all right?
Just get out of the way.
Get off him!
I don't know why
he even talks to you.
- Because I come and see him.
- Yeah, only when you want something.
- And you won't talk to him!
- Vic: Stop it!
Don't talk to her like that.
I think I felt something go, Hazel.
( Vic groaning )
Woman on TV:
Draw on a big smile now.
- No, don't!
- Don't!
- Ethan: Don't, stop!
- No, no.
We're playing at being asleep.
How to be Mommy.
Can we go home to our house?
Rosie doesn't like it here.
( phone ringing )
( sighs )
( beeps )
Sarah, this is
Barbara Poole.
I'm sorry to ring
you like this,
but I really don't
know who else to ask.
Free free.
Free free.
Free free free.
30 years of slavery.
Oh, free at last.
I'm gonna be stuck
up here for hours now.
Yeah well, don't even think
about missing my party.
You think you've
seen me in a temper?
You're wrong.
See you later then.
Oh, yes.
Men in my family know how
to pick their moments.
That pervert
on the loose,
and here's my dad
carted off to hospital,
Matthew getting
himself arrested...
and John-- well, he's out
for the count.
I was very sorry to hear
about your husband, Mrs. Poole.
"l want to be man enough
to say goodbye," he said.
I mean, what is it with
these men, Sarah?
Here's me that
gave birth to her.
He has to go
and take an overdose,
get carried off to a hospital
and have his stomach pumped.
I can remember
Leanne as she was.
All he can remember
is that thing,
that poor...
broken thing.
Five weeks dead.
But you have to go on,
don't you?
You have to survive
for the children's sake.
I mean, whatever
happens in life,
you can't just give in.
I know I sound hard to you.
I lost my job today.
And it's nothing
compared to--
I know.
It's who you are.
( car honking )
Here's my cab.
I can't say
how long I'll be.
Well, I brought
my toothbrush.
But Mrs. Poole,
I am a bit worried.
What shall I do if Matt comes back
and finds me here with the children?
We're not--
we haven't spoken
since the day
Leanne was found.
We had a few days of non-speaking
with him ourselves.
But if Matt
starts moaning
about who does
the childcare,
he can start by spending
more time at home.
Ethan: Sarah!
I've missed you too.
Please can we go
to our house now?
Would you mind?
Barbara: Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Oh, Mrs. Poole,
he'll be so glad to see you.
Look who's here, Vic.
I'm not staying here.
A hospital at my age.
Get carted out in a box.
Well, what's he doing
out here in the corridor?
Well, they said it wouldn't
be for too long.
I'll take over now.
Thank you, Hazel.
Right, well,
I've got to go now, love.
If I don't
get out of here...
- there will be trouble.
- I just want you to know
You've been like
a daughter to me.
Have you been drinking?
Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Who do I have to see to get
anything done around here?
We are watching his
mother's house, aren't we?
There's going to be an obs van
outside all night,
- Jenny, listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.
We're three months
into this inquiry.
11 weeks into an inquiry you said yourself
could make or break this force.
We're staring
at the long haul now,
and long haul
equals small staff.
The common-sense view would be
that once things get difficult,
I actually need
more investigators.
You just used
a rude word.
"Common sense," yeah.
Return four more detectives
to core duties from Monday,
and don't just
send me the rubbish.
You're pulling my team apart
just when we have a chance.
Oh, and I've had a specific request
for your CHlS handler.
No, l-l-I can't do without Jim.
The blessed St. Francis has decided
not to press charges over the assault.
Good.
Well done, terrific.
Um, Jim...
Next for the chop, am l?
Soon I'll be
the last man standing.
Sarah:
"And for all I know,
he is sitting there still.
He is very happy."
Rosie's asleep.
( whispering )
No no no no.
Don't wake her up.
It's time you were asleep too.
- No!
- No, it's late.
Oh, sorry.
You like the light on.
It's okay if you stay.
Just for a little
while then.
Did your mommy
read you stories?
Oh.
Yes, she did, I think.
Did a bad man kill her?
Yes.
A bad man killed her...
and I was really really sad
For a long time, just like you.
I'll kiss you better
if you like.
I'd like that.
( chuckles )
- ( door opens )
- ( footsteps approaching )
Is that Daddy?
What the fuck
are you doing here?
Oh, Jesus.
- You gave me a shock.
- Excuse me, I live here.
I was feeding the dog. And that's my
dressing gown, thank you very much.
- Ethan: Sarah!
- Tanya: Is that the kids?
Are you here on your own
with my kids?
Stop fighting!
Everyone's
always fighting.
( sighs )
Foster:
The man was in a white van
with writing on the side,
wasn't he?
Was it big writing?
- It was dirty.
- The van was dirty?
Rosie got into the dirty van.
Foster:
Ethan, it's all right. Come sit down.
( chatting )
- Hello.
- ( cheering )
Tanya: my friend Jaime's always
onto me, like, come to hers
because her mom's doing
a curry or whatever.
And I go round,
like tonight,
and every time I forget
and every time it happens.
And I've got to sit there
while I eat my curry--
well, it's spaghetti
tonight, but whatever.
I've gotta sit there
while they all go like this.
- ( moans sympathetically )
- Rubbing your nose in it, yeah?
You getting on
better with Matt?
Not much choice really.
Everyone says you only hung around
with us to get into his knickers.
Ouch.
But it wasn't
about him, was it?
It was about the children.
So why do you never come
and see them anymore?
Not invited.
Did you and Matt
have a fight?
Well, if we did,
I missed it.
You were with him
when they found my mom...
and he can't stand it.
Bloody hell,
the state of him.
God, I used
to really fancy him.
No, he was always a fat git.
Well, he's fat and bald now.
Oy!
Mal, you evil bastard.
What, have you come
to "review" my party?
Why don't you get
the fuck off back to London?
Yeah, I love you too and all.
Get that down here.
Did I ever shag you?
I can't remember.
Neither can l.
Tops:
Do you think she minds?
Leaving the biggest job
of her career half-cocked?
We don't do pink and fluffy stuff
like minding, remember?
I would. I'd mind.
I got kicked off it
myself today.
It's just a job, right?
( cheering )
Right, now I know
I said, "no speeches..."
- Man: All right!
-...but it's my party
- and I'm the governor.
- ( cheering )
No no no,
shut the fuck up,
You gobby gits or someone
will call the police!
( cheering )
I thought you said,
"No speeches."
Foster:
Well, well, well,
It's a woman's perogat-- pr-pro--
perog-- perogatude.
Easy for you to say.
( all laugh )
Anyway,
it won't be a long one.
Well, not unless
I get lucky tonight,
and that will be a first.
No, listen, honestly everyone.
I just wanted to say...
That I've done
30 years in this job,
and... frankly, it's been
a bloody nightmare.
I didn't like the hours.
I didn't like the bosses.
I didn't like the villains.
I didn't like the aggravation,
and, well, half the time
I didn't really like
the victims either.
- You liked the overtime.
- Foster: Oh, yeah.
I was going to say...
that the one thing
I liked was the mates.
- Ah.
- But I take that all back,
- Because you're a bunch of tossers!
- ( all cheer )
No, seriously though.
Seriously, I mean,
It's been
a really great life,
and that's because
of all of you lot.
Well, I want us all
to stay in touch.
All right?
Because, I mean,
we're like one big family,
aren't we?
Only better.
No no no.
Really, I mean...
well, I mean,
What am I gonna do
without all you lot?
What am I gonna
do tomorrow?
Get a cat?
Become one of those
pathetic cat women.
( imitates cat )
Help her out, Jim.
Yeah, shall I get her down
before she makes a tit of herself?
( scattered laughter )
Yeah yeah,
you can all laugh,
But it's coming
to you all.
Come on, baby.
Come down.
Open the box!
Take the money!
- I don't want it.
- Come on, darling.
- ( chuckles )
- ( applause )
I need a drink.
Gary:
The only other place he ever goes
is the jobcentre, and they don't
exactly welcome midnight callers.
He was always
at the gym apparently.
Weird that I never
remember seeing him there.
Snuck under the radar.
It's like old times, this.
Soldiers sitting about waiting
for the firing to start.
( phone rings )
Jim beam. What?
I can't hear you.
I said, "I'm with Matt."
he's in the car.
I told him I was
going for a slash.
Listen, he's in the car outside
Kyle's house.
- I'll get right onto it.
- No no, why I'm ringing
is to say
call your lads off,
because there's no way I'm gonna
let him get into more trouble.
Just do him a favor
and take him home, Gary. All right?
Sorry, mate, but I can't leave
you responsible.
Look at you.
Walking away with
your full pension,
not yet 50,
a life ahead of you.
How many
of that lot in there
Do you think
I'll ever see again?
Yeah, but it's not
like that, is it?
It's not a family.
It's a job.
I don't want to go home.
I should think not.
You can't leave your own party.
Take me somewhere.
Come on, Jim.
Make it a night to remember.
All right, don't let yourself
down now, Sarge.
You must have noticed
that I like you.
Yeah, Amy,
I'm very flattered,
but it's because
you're out of your head.
Jesus!
Get off me.
Why don't you
come back inside?
Who are you
looking at like that?
Piss off, turkey.
Gobble gobble gobble.
Oh, for God's sake.
The modern world.
Look at the pair of you.
You know I don't
mean any offense.
If you don't mean it,
Sarge, don't say it.
Your mother never tell you the one
about sticks and stones?
In our country, our mothers
teach us not to get pissed,
stand on a table
and make a tit of ourselves.
Your country.
You were born
in fucking Luton.
Hey, come on, you.
Hello.
A knight
on a white charger.
Oh, am I not allowed to say that
anymore either?
- Oh.
- Come on.
Foster: Hang on, hang on.
I'm all right.
Oh, Dad.
You gave me a shock.
You should be looking
after your husband.
He's best where
he is for now.
Why did you ever
get married, Barbara?
Oh, dad!
What a question! I fell in love.
I sometimes wonder
if you ever
really loved anyone
In your whole life.
I loved you.
Daddy's girl.
Bad choice.
One-way street in our family,
the love thing.
Now you're being daft.
You never
even liked me.
And I was so dense,
I didn't see it
until Leanne was born.
And you and Mom
came to see me in this hospital.
And you took that
baby in your arms,
and I saw you
fall in love with her.
And my heart broke.
Jealous of your
own daughter?
I never came first
for any of you.
Your mother
had this idea
that sometimes
people were just born
into the wrong families.
She would say,
"The stork took
a wrong turning there."
New bloody shoes.
What was I thinking?
- Coffee?
- Scotch.
Coffee it is then.
Now I hope you're not
expecting a shag,
Because I've got
my standards, you know.
( laughs )
( Egyptian music playing )
( laughs )
It's been a long time since there
was a woman in this house doing that.
Yeah, the last one knew
what she was doing, right?
Well...
( volume increases )
She did it in bare feet,
generally speaking.
( laughs )
Woo!
Gary:
I don't know, mate.
If they catch us
out here again--
Then we move on again.
You like getting arrested,
do you?
I'm getting used to it.
Say Kyle was to walk around
that corner right now
and you got to ask him
all your questions.
What's to say he would
tell you the truth?
What, there are worse things
than not knowing?
As long as I live,
I'm gonna know my lovely wife
was too scared
to tell me she was
having my child.
My kids are with
their grandmother tonight
because I've got so I can hardly
even bear to look at them.
To look at them every day,
see Leanne in them
and know that's all
I got left of her.
Barclay: You could
put yourself in the paper.
"Feisty female.
Time on her hands."
"Seeks younger man
to make a fool
of herself with... again."
( laughs )
How long was it
before you stopped looking your wife's
stars as well as your own?
I'm into astronomy, Amy,
not astrology.
See Orion up there?
The mighty hunter.
Boasted there wasn't an animal
on earth he couldn't kill.
So the gods sent
a scorpion
to kill him dead.
- And yes, my wife was a Scorpio.
- ( chuckles )
And I do still
sometimes look,
- only 'cause she always did.
- You're such a bloody girl.
( laughs )
Now, you see that
big bright one?
- Mmm.
- That's the mighty hunter's faithful doggie.
Thanks.
That little mushy part, see?
It all looks mushy to me.
That's the Pleiades,
the seven sisters
he loved and lost.
Still chasing them, he is.
Chasing them forever
across the night sky.
I didn't tell anyone.
Okay okay okay.
- Not anyone, not even Daddy.
- Shh.
- Am I a good girl?
- Yeah.
Look.
Rosie, I'm sorry.
Can we go
and wake her up now?
( sobbing )
( Gem barking )
Rosie!
- Sarah: Ethan, Rosie?
- I saw the man.
I saw him. He was here,
coming to Rosie.
Can we go and see
Mommy today?
'Cause look, I picked her
some flowers.
Danielle:
Sorry! Sorry.
Sorry, I'm not late, am l?
( alarm beeping )
In you come then.
Just give me two seconds.
Oh, look at you.
Eyes like piss-holes
in the snow.
Been out clubbing?
If I was Matt,
I would get a hold of him
and rip him
limb from limb.
( phone ringing )
Oh.
D.S. Foster.
- Oh, hi, this is Shanti.
- Ex-D.S. Foster,
- retired.
-Thanks. Who?
- Shanti.
- Oh yeah, hi, Shanti.
Hi, I tried
calling you yesterday,
but you weren't
in your office.
No no, I left
the office a bit early.
Well, no worries.
It's just I found your carpet fibers
in the in-tray
of a colleague
Who's gone on a course
for a month.
The case was
95% done,
so I thought as a special favor,
and since it's you,
"I'll finish the last 5%."
We've got a match.
This place was ramped out with
Leanne's DNA and fingerprints.
The world and his wife
left their DNA in here.
Leanne visited her
grandad all the time.
You had to discount it.
It's not evidence.
Right now I don't give
a stuff about evidence.
She scraped up
this carpet
to show us where
she was held, Amy.
She gave us all
the help she could.
Short of a note
telling us who done it.
In the dim
and distant past
when I was still
a police officer,
we turned this place
inside out.
We never searched here
until after Rosie was found.
Yes, because the family
didn't think to tell us
that this place
even existed.
Even then,
we didn't do the drains,
or the sinks.
We didn't take off the walls.
It wasn't a murder scene then,
and we don't know
that it's one now.
For god's sake--
Would you just calm down?
You're like a bloody old woman.
You're fretting and panicking.
Leanne and Rosie were in here together.
We know that now.
At least some of the time
they were in this caravan together.
So why didn't Rosie say?
Why did she never say?
Now look what
you made me do.
Shame we couldn't wrap this one up
on your watch, Amy.
I would like to have seen it
through with you.
I'm going home.
You can finish
this one on your own.
Let me know how it turns out,
if you wanna live.
The wife's idea of a bloody birthday
present this is.
She wants the gorgeous hunk
she married back.
I were bigger then
- than I am now.
- ( chuckles )
Gents are having to use
a disabled loo today.
Till the plumber comes
to fix the system.
Sorry about that.
You don't want fleecing
by some chuffing plumber.
No, you don't, Rawdon.
Gary, stop him.
Started a sodding flood the last time
he tried to be helpful,
And I got the blame.
- 10 quid says it's your ball cock.
- ( gasps )
Oh my god.
There was a car.
I got knocked over by a car.
- I think I need an ambulance.
- Danielle: Bugger that!
I'm gonna go and get Matt.
It's okay.
I'm a first-aider.
( grunting )
( groaning )
- Don't! Don't!
- What the fuck did you come here for?
I thought,
"What would a soldier do?
What would Gary do?"
- He would have kept his trap shut.
- I never told.
- I never.
- Well, you're gonna have to tell now, boy.
You're gonna have to tell
what you did to her.
What you did
all on your own.
It really hurts.
Maybe I'll get you a doctor.
Call the police.
Do it now.
- Climbed in through a window.
- A car knocked me over.
- A car when I was running away.
- Gary: Shut it
with your whining
or you're a dead man.
No no, not like that.
You know what I want?
I want... the truth.
My mommy's got
lots of red things.
She's got a red dress,
red shoes
and a red special teapot
that Daddy gave her.
Red was my mommy's
favorite color too.
( chuckles )
Let me do this.
Matt:
Why were you in the layby
- in the first place?
- It's where we used to sort the money.
There in the layby.
So I'm in the back
of the flower wagon,
and I hear Leanne,
and she's going off on one,
bollocking Branko.
"Oh, you two,
you're selling cancer sticks
to my granddad.
You're killing
my granddad."
And Branko hit her.
It was only a shove.
A bit of a shove,
But she just went down...
and hit her head.
She just laid there.
Branko was--
was beside himself.
Like, what if he got
sent back to Macedonia?
And so I said,
"Let's take her
to the caravan.
- Buy time, wait."
- wait for what?
Someone to tell you
what to do?
Leanne came around.
"My kids.
I've left my kids.
They're on their own."
So I went back for them.
Is the doctor coming?
Because I'm--
Did you... touch Rosie?
Tell me the truth now
or so help me
you will need a doctor.
I've never touched
your little girl.
That is the god's
honest truth.
What did you
do to Leanne?
I didn't mean
for her to die.
But I came back...
I was too late.
I was too late.
I took her body
to the water,
and I put her in.
- I said a prayer.
- Matt: The thing is...
it wasn't too late, Kyle.
When you put her
in the water--
I didn't want to.
When you put her
in the water,
Leanne was still alive.
No.
You drowned her.
( sobbing )
No.
You came
and looked at her.
You said she was dead.
I looked up to you, Gary.
I believed you.
You?
Mommy said she was
tired and cold.
She was cold as well.
And you tried to warm her up,
didn't you?
I cuddled her
lots and lots,
but I kept falling asleep.
I tried not to, but--
will the man get
into trouble?
When the man came to see you
this morning, what did he say?
He said
I'm a good girl.
And he said,
"Sorry, Rosie."
Barclay:
So I think that means
that it's okay for you to tell.
Rosie,
it's time to tell now.
One time
when I woke up,
Mommy was
on the floor
Going, "scrape,
scrape, scrapey,"
Iike this on the floor.
She said, "Come on,
it's a game."
Didn't you want to play?
I cried, and she cried too,
and she fell asleep
on the floor.
And the next time
you woke up,
she was gone,
wasn't she?
If I played the game with her
like she wanted me to,
would she still be here?
No, she wouldn't.
It's not your fault.
When you told Kyle
- to dump her in the lake...
- Beam: open the door!
- ( pounding )
-...did you know she was still alive?
Beam:
Open the door now!
( groaning )
Did you know you were
ordering him to kill her?
Answer me this one.
Please answer me.
- Just this one thing.
- That's enough. Break it up.
No, don't take him,
Not until he's told me!
( grunting )
Kyle. Kyle.
Did Gary know she was still alive?
I've got to know.
Kyle, Kyle.
Kyle.
I've got a bloody cheek, haven't l,
when you think about it?
I've been
so angry with you.
And I'm paying
for it now
because it's so lonely at home.
You can't imagine.
No, of course you can.
I used to long to be alone.
You said to me once--
you said,
"When will you ever
grow up, Barbara?"
Job of a lifetime, that is.
You know, that day,
the day Leanne
disappeared...
I was making the jam.
And you didn't like it.
You said it was runny.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thoughtless.
And I thought--
Well, not right then,
But later,
I thought,
"She's wondering
if it's runny
because I didn't boil it
for long enough.
She's wondering
if I didn't boil
it for long enough
because I went out.
She's wondering if I went
out and killed Leanne."
It never occurred
to me for a moment.
You get so there's...
nothing you can
hang on to.
No one you can trust.
He admired you,
didn't he, Gary?
He looked up to you as a soldier.
I mean, they all did--
Kyle, Matt and Branko.
I never met Branko.
Not in Yugoslavia, no.
I think you're telling the truth there.
I think you met him over here.
A chance thing.
Bumped into him
in some car park
and bought some
dodgy cigarettes off him.
No comment.
Offered to help him with the organizing
for a cut of the profits.
I think Kyle and Branko
were doing your bidding
when they put Leanne
in the lake.
I think you knew
she was still alive.
And I think that means
you killed her, Gary.
Just like you
killed Branko.
Just like you put that
last boot in on Kyle.
You killed all three of them.
One after the other,
just to shut them up
and protect
your investment,
while you played
the good soldier
and the good friend.
( recorder clicking )
Change the tape.
( tape clacking )
I realize how much
I owe you, Sarah.
No, you don't.
I owe you I think.
He's slobbering
all over the balloon.
For showing me
what is possible.
I can do it, I can.
Dad, tell her!
All right, come on.
All right, come on.
That's enough fighting.
All right.
All right.
Mommy liked red ones,
didn't she?
Yeah, honey.
She loved them.
Okay, all right, all right.
Come on, let's go.
Time to go home, Gem.
