Forgotten (1999): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

No one's like this early
in the morning.

Do you want to race to the top?

I'll count to five.

One,

two,

three,

four,

five!

Don't stop.

I'm sorry to disturb you.
Is Mrs. Monroe in?

Mr.Turner said he saw you walking by
the reservoir that evening.



Did you see anything suspicious?

What day was that?

Monday the 3rd between 6:30 and 7:30.

No.

Mr. Turner must be mistaken.

I was in my room all night with
a migraine.

That's not true.

Where did you say you where the day
Katie went missing?

- At a book fair in Birmingham.
- At the Carenden Hotel?

You sure it was the Carenden and not
the Adelphia ?

That's the one with the green canopy.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's stupid. The Adelphia.

There is no Adelphia in Birmingham.



I don't understand.

I think we should discuss this
somewhere less public.

- Ben, what's this about?
- It's alright, Natalie.

- I'll follow you.
- It's best if you come with us.

It'll save you from driving.

- Have a safe journey.
- Goodbye.

If it's any consolation,
I'm staying right here.

You've got nowhere else to go.

It was his turn to take Emmy to school.

Do you think you're mistaken?

You know I was in my room
that night.

The plastic.

Trying to quit.

They will tell us heroin's
bad for us next.

Where were we?

You were asking me where I was the
afternoon Katie went missing.

- I was at a book fair in Birmingham.
- And you have forgotten the address.

And at the time Katie's body was dumped
in the reservoir,

you were walking there, but didn't
see or hear anything.

Except Mrs. Monroe.

I may be mistaken about Mrs. Monroe.

I'm always up there. I may have the
nights confused.

Amazing what can slip the human mind.

Would I tell you I was up there
if I killed that girl?

Maybe you thought you'd been seen.

Look, Mr. Turner,

I just want to establish your movements
that day.

Phone for you ma'am. It's your son.

I'll be half an hour.

It's his birthday. Should have called
this morning.

Amazing what can slip the human mind.

Interview terminated at 11:15 a.m.

I thought I was doing you a favor

bringing you here, away from your wife.

Thought it would be easier for you to
tell us your big secret.

I was wrong.

But if you feel like telling us who
you're screwing behind your wife's back,

in confidence of course,

then the sooner we can eliminate you,
and find the real killer.

Find out if there were any book fairs
in the Birmingham area on the day.

- What?
- Ben's a good friend.

Even Dr. Shipman had friends.

That about clears you out.

Promised Natty something special
for our anniversary.

Hi, Ben.

You okay?

- The Robinsons left this morning.
- I thought they were staying all week.

They said they had urgent business.

Maybe the book fair was in Leicester or
that place in Stratford...

Police always make me flustered too.

It was a misunderstanding.

I got confused about the hotels.

A misunderstanding.

I'm wacked. I'm going to bed.

My sheets need changing.

Weren't they changed this morning?

What did it feel like - being back
in police custody?

- Must be like going home.
- Carla, please.

Tell me where you buried my daughter.

I am not responsible for Annie's death.

People don't like living next door to a
convicted killer.

How can I tell you something I
don't know?

You don't have a choice!

I am happy here! I have a life!

What right have you to be happy?

It should be me!

- I want her back Peter!
- It wasn't me!

First Annie, now Katie...

Similar age, both strangled with
a skipping rope.

Bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

I wasn't the only one by the reservoir
that night.

To find you're daughter,
you'd set me up.

Make your own bed.

Who do you think they will believe?

You?

Or me?

You have until this time tomorrow.
Then I go to the police.

I disappeared once. I can do it again.

You won't though, will you Peter?

This necklace she was wearing, the
silver one with her name on it.

- Her mom says she was wearing it.
- She never took it off.

I gave it to her.

- Mom.
- It's Helen, Ted.

A fax from Forensics.
She wasn't sexually assaulted.

Also found a hair on her dress, and
some blood and skin under her nails.

She has scratch marks on her neck.

- She may have scratched herself.
- or scratched him in the struggle.

Do we know how long will
the DNA match take?

They need to run more tests.
Should we get a sample from Mr. Turner?

No. Let's wait until we know
it's not hers.

- Morning, Ed.

How are you doing, Rob?

I didn't expect you in today.

I only kill little girls on my day off.

It's a joke.

Go grab some lunch.

I had to see for myself.

Now you've seen me.

Don't slam the door on your way out.

- Peter...
- I didn't kill Katie.

Something of a coincidence though.

I read about you in the papers.

You did well for yourself, didn't you?

Weren't you a Detective Sergeant when
you retired?

Superintendent.

Sounds like a big pension to lose.

They didn't believe you then,
why should they now?

I don't know how you can
live with yourself!

250.

You're forgetting one thing:

they found Katie's body in a couple
of days. They never found Annie's.

If the same person killed them both,
he'd have hid her better than that.

I'm a parole jumper, not a killer.
I've got a wife and a kid.

It's not just my life you're
ruining this time.

By the way -

it was the albino jockey.

Hello?

Hope this isn't a bad time.
Just wanted to ask a few questions.

Having a clean out?

More like a recycle.

Congratulations.

Do you have any names yet?

I'm still wondering if
we can afford this.

You never have enough.

Excuse me - hay fever.

Did you or your daughter notice anyone
suspicious that day?

There were a lot of tourists there.

It's become an event.

Do you have a happy marriage?

Yes!

What are you getting at?

There was no book fair in or near
Birmingham that day.

- We checked.
- You'll have to check again.

My husband doesn't lie.

You're probably right.

I'll skip the tea thanks.

Did Katie suffer much?

I think it was pretty quick.

If it's any comfort, she didn't
die without a struggle.

We think she scratched the killer
before she died.

- You missed one.
- That one's going to be pink.

You okay?

When I went to the police station today,
it wasn't because I did anything wrong.

They thought I might be able to help
them find who did this to Katie.

That's a good thing.

That's what we all want.

Enjoying your last evening of freedom?

Do you know what this will do to Emmy?

I'm a parent myself.

Quite the model parent, weren't you?

Don't blame me for what you did.

I have 1500 in cash. I can get more
and post it to you.

You've got 12 hours left, Peter.

Join us for dinner, Rachel?

No, thank you. I'm meeting someone.

Have a good night.

I'm going to bed.

Now?

What about dinner?

I went to the shop to see for myself.

All these years thinking he was dead.

Maybe now I'll find out where Annie is.

What if I told you he may be telling
the truth?

What are you talking about?

There was blood. Her blood on his shirt.

He said she had a nose bleed.

- The soil under his fingertips.
- He was playing with her in the garden.

The skipping rope.

You found it in his room.

It had her blood on it.

We found it in the woods near the canal.

Carla, we planted it there.
In his bedroom.

No!

He said we set him up.

We tried to beat a confession
out of him.

The doctors found nothing on him.

Physical intimidation rightly applied
leaves no bruising.

You'd have thought after everything we
did to him he would have confessed.

We were all convinced he was guilty.

Shame on you!

I'm going someplace quieter.
I'm sure you'll understand.

Bye.

- Can't say I'm sorry to see her go.
- Maybe I should leave.

- Stay in a hotel.
- They'll think you're guilty.

See if Mrs. Somer wants
fried or poached.

Do you think I'm guilty?

- You shouldn't say that.
- Shouldn't I?

If you're seeing someone else, tell me!
- I'm not see somebody else!

Then tell them where you were
and stop lying!

I'm not lying!

I don't care what you were doing!
Just end this!

Ben!

Leave my family alone, understand?

It wasn't my idea!

I'm sorry.

This is for the shirt. I'm very sorry.

Murdering bastard freak!

Come here.

I'll make you a cup of tea, Natty.

There just kids. They don't speak
for all of us.

He was so angry.

Ben's not a murderer.

If things get too much, there's a bed
here for you.

Why have you never married, Oliver?

Because she taken.

Did I make the right decision?

Get back to your family.

You've only got one bed.

I would sleep on the couch.

Yeah, of course.

Four down?

Sacrament.

Six across?

Descent.

No, no.

That would mean surgery and nature
are wrong.

You're too old to still be on the force.
I see your red SCID tie.

Retired?

Refusal, not descent.

Everything alright?

- He drew out all his savings yesterday.
- Eileen...

Said it was for a present for his wife.
I think he's planning to run.

- Eileen, that's enough.
- Sorry.

Don't know what this world's coming to.

In the past, you didn't have to worry
about your kids going out to play.

I don't think I'll let mine out again.

Andrew said they found some
flowers by her body.

- Flowers?
- Like posies.

That would be his guilty conscience.

How's Stephen?

His GCSEs?

Did he pass?

Doesn't get the results until next month.

Next month?

Of course. I forgot.

I'm changing this number so there's
no pint calling again.

Tell him I'm sorry.

Have you seen Ben?

He took Emmy to the shop, I think.

You alright?

Of course.

I you want to talk...

I'm fine!

And they all lived happily ever after.

I think it's a bad ending too, but
that's what it says.

I have to go. Tell Daddy I'll
call him later.

I love you too.

Shit!

The hair on the dress is mine.

Must have been left when he found her.

- What about the blood?
- Still waiting.

Let's hope those aren't Cannon's too.

What's this?

I'm going to Stella's. Andrew's working
late. She wants some company.

You're going because of me.

That's what it looks like.

You said, "you act guilty, people
think you are guilty."

You're not the only one with problems.
Stella's having a rough time.

It's just for tonight.

Don't let her stay up late. I know
what you're like.

Annie.

Oh, it's you Emmy.

I couldn't sleep.

Alicia says my daddy hurt Katie.

- Don't listen to what Alicia says.
- I know.

You don't think my daddy would hurt
anyone, do you?

No.

Close your eyes.

Nighty-nighty.

Good night.

You forgot to say, "Pajama, Pajama".

Nighty-nighty.

Pajama, pajama.

Natty?

Oh, it's you.

Couldn't sleep?

Me neither.

Don't remember the last time I had a
proper night's sleep.

This is your song.

You and Natty's.

Danced to it at your wedding?

It's nice.

I mean it. You were
made for each other.

Everyone can see that.

Care to join me?

Don't worry. It's just whiskey.

You came in before
I got out the cyanide.

Must have been hard for you
all these years,

- losing contact with your family.
- Not really.

You went to your dad's funeral.

Just wanted to be sure the bastard
was finally dead.

How's Clive?

I had a son.

He will be 16 in...

God, when's he 16?

How did I forget?

It was Clive's idea

to get pregnant again. It would
solve all our problems.

It made things worse.

I never forgave Stephen
for not being Annie.

You said I was not a model parent.

It was unfair.

You were a good mom.

No I wasn't.

Funny how you never have enough
time for someone

when they're alive.

And when they're gone,

you have all the time in the world.

I've gone over that day

a million times.

Wondering if I could have done
something different.

If I hadn't gone out.

- If I hadn't...
- I didn't kill her.

I can't believe that!

You just don't want to.

I've lived with the thought
of you so long,

without it I don't know
what I'd do.

You should have dyed your
hair a long time ago.

Looks good on you.

What do you remember about her?

I can't do this.

Please.

I've no one else to talk to.

No one who remembers her.

Clive won't talk to me.

Please.

She loved cartoons.

Silly.

We called her "the machine gun".
That's what she sounded like.

I didn't know that.

- Tell me what happened that day.
- You know what happened.

I want to hear it again.

It was Saturday.

You'd gone out with Clive.

You left Annie with Mary.
I came out.

Mary went to the shop.

Left Annie was playing in the garden.

I called for her to come in.
There was no reply.

When I went out to check,

she was gone.

You're lying.

No.

I miss her.

I miss her so much.

- Where will you go?
- A hotel.

I know a good B&B with reasonable rates.

You don't need to be put in the
middle with me and Andrew.

Does he often work all night?

Would things be different if
you had kids? - Maybe.

No chance of that.

You could adopt.

But then we'd have to match your
perfect parenting.

- Seems drastic.
- What's the alternative?

- Talk to him!
- I tried. He won't listen.

Try again.

I'd best get back.

It's too late.

I need you.

I don't need you.

I didn't want to say anything like that.

Is there someone else?

I don't love you anymore.

It's a difficult time for me with
Katie's death.

I'm not just saying that to
make you stay.

If you'd just...

stick around until it's cleared up.

Then if you still want to go,

I won't stop you.

Thank you.

Your card's been declined.

It must be a mistake.
Could you try again?

Sorry, Mrs. Hayden.

Forget it.

- Presents for the kids?
- Just browsing.

Do you know what the time is?

How's Stella?

She's leaving him.

A killer always takes something from
the scene and leaves something behind.

The "Theory of Exchange".

You've lost me.

The note on the car?

They were passion flowers.

Left with Katie.

Its seems they were a sign of remorse.

Phone call, Mr. Alan.

I don't know much about the
symbolism of flowers,

but don't passion flowers have a
religious meaning?

Something was taken from her body?

A silver necklace with her name on it.

Dexter Alan.

When was this?

Of course I will.

- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.

You alright?

My husband Bill.

Very handsome.

A good man, too good for me.

I'm glad you came.

- I've been meaning to thank you.
- Thank me?

For the flowers you left for Katie.

Why are you being so kind to me?

You hardly know me.

I know what you're going through.

I thought so.

You've got that look about you.

My daughter,

Annie.

They never found her body.

Every Sunday I would go to the hills
where they said she'd been.

And I'd dig

somewhere different every week.

Did they catch the person?

No.

- I thought I'd gave up this nonsense.
- What happened last night?

It cannot happen again.

You think I enjoyed sleeping
with a murderer?

You don't believe that.

Will you still go to the police?

I see what this is about now!

You thought if I slip her one it will
shut her up!

It's been so long she must be
desperate for it!

Last night wasn't about that.

It was...

Wrong!

Last night didn't just

happen.

You care about me.

I know you do.

Don't worry.

I won't say anything.

Thank you.

Can't remember the
last time I wore this.

Mom's funeral.

I'm sorry.

Where's Emmy?

She's with Rachel.

Haven't we got an early start?

You'll tell me you've
got a headache next.

We think she managed to scratch
the killer before she died.

I'll be right back.

Just a minute!

You alright?

I'm fine.

You okay?

I thought I was supposed to
be sick in the mornings.

Did you have bad dreams last night?

I'll do that. You ready?

The funeral's not until 12.

I said I'd help with the food.

Why don't you open the shop
for a couple of hours?

- You don't think that's insensitive?
- We need the money.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Come on, sweetheart.

Off so soon?

My wife died.

I'm sorry.

You have every right to be angry at me.

You have no idea what you've done!

- I have some idea.
- No you don't!

Do you realize what you've made me do?

What are you talking about?

I've done some terrible things.

Awful things.

But that was okay because
I was so sure.

Now, I find out I'm wrong
after all these years!

What have you done that's so terrible?

Goodbye.

Blood is her own. She scratched herself.

It symbolizes the passion of Christ.

The passion flowers.

We are going to be late.

The 10 sepals are the 10 apostles;
the corona the crown;

the 5 stamen are the 5 wounds and
3 stigma are the nails.

It symbolizes the crucifixion.

So we're looking for a religious nut
who likes exotic flowers?

Why not just pick flowers
from the woods?

We assumed it was a sign of remorse.
What if it was something else?

A sacrifice. A religious thing.

Another thing that's bother me:

why move a body that's already buried?

He thought we wouldn't look
in the reservoir again.

What if there's another reason?

What?

It doesn't make sense.
Why risk being seen?

What if the final resting place meant
something to him?

Didn't this used to be a village
before it was flooded?

Yes, Lambton.

- What date is that map?
- 1931.

A cemetery.

He wanted to give her
a Christian burial.

We need to talk.

You've got 5 minutes.

Don't tell me -
you came for my forgiveness.

Of course not.

What do you want?

I think Carla may have killed
Katie Longden.

What?

You haven't seen her these past years.

The things she's done.

I think she set you up.

She wouldn't kill a child!

- I must tell the police.
- She wouldn't kill a child!

- I've no choice.
- What about my family?

What if you're wrong again?

There will be a new inquiry.
Everything you did will come out!

- I've nothing to lose.
- I have! Please don't do this!

I've skipped parole. They'll put me
away again!
