Life on Mars (2006–2007): Season 2, Episode 4 - Episode #2.4 - full transcript

Sam and Annie investigate a world of suburban swingers' parties to investigate a murder.

(DOOR CREAKS)

(ECHOING) Sam?
It's your Auntie Heather.

Now then, who's my lovely boy, eh?

Oh, you poor little love.

You'll be better soon.

D'you know, it breaks my heart
to see you like this.

Remember, your Auntie Heather
will always be here for you.

You've always been
my favourite nephew, Sam.

(STATIC CRACKLES)

Somebody, please...

Oh. come on. Don't do this to me.



Talk to me, somebody, please.

My name is Sam Tyler.

I had an accident
and I woke up in 1973.

Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time?

Whatever's happened,
it's like I've landed on a different planet.

Now, maybe if I can work out
the reason, I can get home.

(MUSIC: THE MOODY BLUES'
"THE STORY IN YOUR EYES")

# I've been thinking
'bout our fortune

# And I've decided
that we're really not to blame

# For the love
that's deep inside us now

# Is still the same

# And the sound we make together

# Is the music
to the story in your eyes

# It's been shining down
upon me now, I realise



# Listen to the tide slowly turning

# Wash all our heartaches away

# We're part of the fire
that is burning...

(GENE) Nice day for it.

(RAY) Woman in her twenties.
(CHRIS) Dead.

Well, I didn't think
she was sunbathing, did I?

Who found her?

- That foul-mouthed inbred there.
- Wanker. Shitbloodyshit.

- Shitwomandead. Bugger. Arsehole.
- Charming.

She's not an inbred.
She's probably got Tourette's.

(RAY) They were playing doctors
and nurses and found the real thing.

- Any signs of sexual assault?
- It's hard to tell, really, Guv.

- She's still got her knickers on.
- Christ's sake, Chris!

She's somebody's daughter.

What's that smell?

Dog shit everywhere
round here, boss.

No, it's...

(SNIFFS)

So what can you tell from sniffing
the victim's hair, DI Tyler?

- Nothing. It's just...
- We should get her to the morgue.

Then we could all have a good sniff
away from prying eyes (!)

# Listen to the tide slowly turning

# Wash all our heartaches away

# We're part of the fire
that is burning

# And from the ashes
we can build another day... #

So where'd you meet her?

At the ice rink.
I skated over her thumb.

Take my advice: get a pint
of Pernod and black down her,

do what you Iike to her after that.

What are you hoping for?
Upstairs inside?

Don't really know, Guv.

It's got to be
inside downstairs, Guv.

What, the first date?
She's not a prossie. Is she?

No.

No, first date, upstairs inside.

He's not going to marry her.

What's the matter with you?

Cause of death would appear to be
a blow to the head,

possibly struck against a wall
or a kerb.

- Raped?
- Hard to say.

There's evidence
of rough sexual intercourse,

but nothing to say forced entry.

Would you stop sniffing
that poor woman?

She's wearing
a very distinctive perfume.

There was one thing
that might interest you, DCI Hunt.

- What?
- La fleur de mort.

I once hit a bloke
for speaking French.

The flower of death.

I don't believe you.

I had a job getting her fingers open
due to the advanced rigor mortis.

But there was a Iittle gift
waiting for me.

Five years ago,
this was a frightened city.

Five women raped and murdered.

They called him Manc the Knife.

We took a Iot of stick,
me more than anyone.

- But we caught him. Terence Finn.
- Yeah, right Iittle pervert.

He was sent down for Iife
and the city breathed again.

Terence Finn died in prison
two years ago

and not a single tear was shed.

- Annie? What's happened?
- We were arresting this suspect.

He were a Iittle Iad, but he were
too strong for Cartwright.

Felt her tits
and Iegged it off down the street.

Yeah, well, he took me by surprise.

- You OK?
- I told you this'd happen.

Fine behind a desk,
shit on the streets.

I am talking here!

Right.

Each of the victims had
a crushed red geranium in her hand.

Like a calling card.

Well, this morning,
the body of a young woman was found.

She had a crushed red geranium
in her hand.

So what are you saying?

We might have banged up
the wrong bloke.

Don't get me wrong. Finn was
a scrotum. I don't give a toss.

If we did get it wrong, I want this
man caught before he kills again.

This is my city

and it will be safe for my wife
and my mum to walk around in.

- Is that understood?
- (ALL) Yes, Guv.

Find who the dead woman was,
find out who killed her. Do it now.

Hold up.
Do it tomorrow morning, first thing.

- Beer o'clock, gentlemen.
- Yeah!

- You OK?
- Fine, thank you, sir.

Buy you a drink?

- No, thank you.
- At Ieast Iet me walk you home.

Why would I want you to walk me home?

You heard what the Guv said.
There might be a killer on the Ioose.

Well, are you walking
Chris and Ray home?

I don't need your help.
I can walk myself home, sir.

(CAR APPROACHES)

- (TYRES SQUEAL)
- (DOOR OPENS)

- (GASPS)
- Stay the hell away!

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm all right, er...
I'm all right.

- Who was driving?
- I don't know.

Look, I'm a police officer.
Who was driving that car?

He just pulled up.
Asked if I wanted a Iift.

So you got in the car.

Not very sensible, is it?

- What did he Iook Iike?
- Don't know. Er...

Ordinary. Average.

You've got Iovely hands.

Are you sure you're a copper?

Is that your perfume?

Could be the bins.

Look...

this is serious. OK?

I'II get us another drink.

There you go, love.

Thanks.

- A Beauvoir Lady?
- I recognised the victim's perfume.

My auntie was a Beauvoir Lady.
She smelt exactly the same.

Her and a thousand other women.

Telephone all the Beauvoir Ladies
in Manchester,

I guarantee
you will find one of them missing.

There was no connection
to Beauvoir Ladies five years ago.

- Maybe you missed something.
- Maybe we did.

Just Iet me do this. If nothing comes
of it, I won't mention it again.

Two hours.

Nobody's done anything wrong.

We just wondered if you had noticed
anything unusual.

- Just checking the whereabouts...
- How did it go?

Good. It'II take me ages
to get through this Iot.

Don't tell me. Upstairs outside
and you got a slap?

You found my killer yet?

- No, not yet.
- You've got 20 minutes.

Hey, Chris, how was your hot date?
Downstairs outside?

No. No, I won't be seeing her again.

Never mind, son.
PIenty more slags in the sea.

Just took a call from a man
worried about his wife.

Hasn't seen for her 24 hours.
Her name's Sandra Trotman.

She's a Beauvoir Lady.

(SOBS)

(MAN CHATTERS ON RADlO)

Our house was always full of women,

especially after Dad Ieft.

Me Auntie Heather
came over all the time.

She's one of those people that...

as soon as she walks into a room,
the world's a better place.

(WOMAN TALKS ON RADlO SHOW)

(SURGE OF STATIC)

(STATIC SQUEAKS AND CRACKLES)

What are you doing?

(STATIC CRACKLES)

I miss her.

I miss all of them.

Is this what we're here for, sir?

- (WOMAN GIGGLES)
- Yeah.

- Denise.
- Piss off.

Just want to talk to you.

(ANNIE) Oi!

(WOMAN) Leave her alone!

(SHRIEKS) Get off me!

Easy, easy.

Why don't you just Ieave me alone?

We can't do that, Denise.

I have to know who pushed you
out of the car, Denise.

I've told you. I don't know.

A woman died, you know.
She was murdered.

I'm sorry about that,

but it's nothing to do with me.

Why are you Iying?
Who are you trying to protect?

If I knew him I'd say, wouldn't I?

Did you know the dead girl, Denise?

She was a Beauvoir Lady, too.
Sandra Trotman.

Did you ever work with her?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God...

Here, drink this, Denise.

(SAM) I'm sorry,
I have to ask you these questions.

Just take your time.

I told Sandra he was bad news.

He...

he runs these parties.

You know, er...
car-keys-on-the-table stuff.

What do you do at these parties?

Serve drinks and stuff
in stupid togas.

If one of the blokes didn't fancy
the wife he'd been given, then...

then we'd help out.

And Sandra worked these parties
with you?

Yeah, the bloke seemed
really fond of her.

But almost too fond, you know?

When she didn't ring for a few days,
I asked him if he'd seen her.

And that's when
he threw you out of the car?

He's a powerful man.

He knows all sorts.

Masons, coppers...

- Who is he?
- If he killed Sandra...

-..he'd kill any one of us.
- I need his name, Denise.

(SAM) Roger Twilling. 44 years old,
successful businessman.

Very popular
in the business community.

Gives a Iot to charity.

I hate people who give to charity.

Lives in Chorlton,
where he holds discreet sex parties.

So what happens at these parties?

Well, if you're invited,
and he's very fussy who he invites,

you all put your car keys in a bowl.
The wives pull out a key.

Really? What, in Chorlton?

Are you taking this seriously, Guv?

The bloke who murdered those women
was brutal, Sam.

Vicious, clever.

- Led me a right merry Iittle dance.
- So Iet's get him.

The one thing he wasn't
was a prat selling overpriced motors.

Well, he's our only Iead.

We know one of the victims knew him,
possibly intimately.

And we know he's into holding
these discreet sex parties.

Hey.

Hang on. Over there.

Red Lotus.

Denise Williams was
thrown out of that car by that man.

So? He pushed a bird out of a car.
Doesn't make him a bad bloke.

Oh, pull him in, then.
I'II dance the fandango on his head.

He's too clever for that.

How do we get to him, then, GIadys?

It's called surveillance.

- Doesn't sound very manly.
- Manly?

Well, it's not proper police work,
is it, spying on people?

I did what you said. I got a whole
Ioad of Pernod and black down her.

- What happened?
- It's the future.

One day, the vast majority
of police work will be surveillance.

Gathering information, feeding
that information into computers...

I hope I'm dead
by the time that happens.

I shouldn't worry too much
about that.

Come on. What happened?

I had a few drinks meself, otherwise
it would have been suspicious.

So I've got me hand on her tits,
outside upstairs.

- Good boy.
- There isn't a human rights Iaw

- restricting unauthorised...
- Would you shut up?

This is making me quite randy.

Well, I went to kiss her and, er...

..it all came out.

What did?

You were sick on her?

Over her face and mouth.

(SNORTS)

Oh, Chris.

I'm off.

Oh, dear. Chris, you are a boy.

(PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE RINGS)

- Hello?
- (WOMAN) Hello. Hello?

- Auntie Heather.
- I'm sorry, love, wrong number.

(DISCONNECTED TONE)

(STATIC CRACKLES)

- Come on.
- (MAN SPEAKS, BROKEN BY STATIC)

Talk to me, somebody.

Don't you dare
Ieave me here on my own.

- Boss?
- Chris.

Really interesting stuff, boss,
surveillance.

It's cutting-edge.

Thanks, Chris.

Can I help you?

Yeah. Um...
You know that bird I was dating?

The one you sicked up
Pernod and black on?

Yeah. Well, she's given me
another chance.

BIimey. Good for you.

I was just wondering
if you could give me a few pointers,

you know, 'cause...
well, women Iike you.

Er...I'm a bit busy trying to catch
a murderer at the moment, Chris.

Look, just...be yourself.

You know? Relax. Act Iike
you're down the pub with Ray.

What, Iight me farts?

No, no. I was only joking.

Go on.

Well, you know,
she's a human being, just Iike you.

She'II be nervous,
she wants to be Iiked, same as you.

Be kind. Show her some respect.

- (STALL DOOR LOCKS)
- (LAUGHTER)

- (ANNlE SlNGS TO HERSELF)
- (LlQUlD SPLASHES)

You were right, boss. Works a treat.

- (TOlLET FLUSHES)
- You people are sick.

Y...yeah, yeah. Come on.
Let's show some respect here.

(OTHERS) Ooooh.

(LEWD LAUGHTER)

What? What is it?

The pathologist from
the original murders. Stuart Bator.

Ah, Master Bator. Remember him well.
What about him?

- He moved, to Brighton.
- Foolish, but not illegal.

Bator was in the market
for a second-hand car.

He bought the car
from Roger Twilling.

- Go on.
- They become very good friends.

Bator get pissed at the golf club,

tells Twilling
about the FIower of Death.

You got the right man before, Guv.
This is a copycat killing.

When Twilling murdered
Sandra Trotman,

he remembered what Bator had told him

and used the red geranium
to throw us off the scent.

Twilling thinks he's above us, Guv.
He thinks he's untouchable.

He'II rue the day he decided
to play copycat with Gene Hunt.

I want him, Sam.

(CHRIS) Hurry up, boss.
It's freezing out here.

I don't Iike this.

Gene Hunt smashes doors down.
He does not pick girly Iocks.

We can't just pull him in.
He's too clever for that.

At Ieast this way
we get hard evidence.

I'II be the Iaughing stock of the
Lancashire police dinner and dance.

Believe it or not, Guv, one day soon

something Iike this
will bring down Richard Nixon.

Hard to believe.

Chris, this is serious.

Sorry, boss.

- Where do you want the transmitter?
- Up here.

Chris? Bend down.

- What for?
- Just do it.

AII right. Up.

- (CHRIS STRAINS)
- Hold still.

- The Iaw, the Iaw!
- Get down, you div!

We ARE the Iaw, you bloody clowns.

God help us.

- (TRUMPETING FART)
- (CHRIS) Sorry.

(GROANS)

What have you been eating?
Pedigree Chum?

We don't all have to be in here.

If this is the future, GIadys,
we want to Iearn from the master.

A bird's just gone in.
Could be his missus.

(TWlLLlNG) How was it?
(WOMAN) Not bad.

Wouldn't Nixon notice a van
parked outside the White House?

- Shhh.
- I spoke to Barbara earlier.

She said do we want to play doubles
at Hanningtons later?

Could do.
Are they coming to the next party?

Maybe we should ease back
on the parties, Roger.

- We are not discussing this, Carol.
- Sorry.

- So, are they coming?
- Oh, try and stop them.

Barbara said Trevor learnt things
from Mrs Luckhurst

that would be illegal
in some parts of Wales.

(TWlLLlNG) Good girl.

(STATIC CRACKLES)

BIoody hell. That was getting good.

(TWlLLlNG) That bloody tart's
been hassling me again.

- lgnore her.
- He means Denise.

I don't know anything
about her poxy friend.

(STATION SKIPS TO POP MUSIC)

Turn it down, it's hurting me ears!

Missed it.

- (RAY) What's Hanningtons?
- It's a tennis club in Chorlton.

Murderers do not play tennis.

Well, this one does.

What about Bator? Let's have him
arrested and shipped up to me.

- Can't do that, Guv.
- Why not?

- He died of cancer Iast year.
- Damn the man.

But I have another idea.

So we met on the canal footpath.
Spring, 1 970.

I was Ionely, I was...you know,
wondering if I'd ever find "her".

- Her?
- Yeah, the one.

You know,
the one we're all searching for.

Me dog was struggling.
Thought it was going to drown.

- Terrier.
- Airedale terrier.

You jumped in and saved him.
You were my hero.

- Sure you want to do this?
- We were married a year Iater.

- Might get a bit dangerous.
- You were never Ionely again.

Annie.

We had a Iovely honeymoon
in BIackpool.

I was so surprised
you were still a virgin.

(THOCK OF TENNIS BALLS)

My husband and I onlyjoined last
week. Everyone's been very friendly.

(MAN) Pretty lady like you,
why wouldn't they be friendly?

I bet you say that to all the girls.

Only the attractive ones.

Does your wife know
you're such a flirt?

You can ask her yourself.
Darling, this is, um...?

- Cherie.
- Is my husband pestering you?

Oh, he's being very flattering.

- You here alone?
- My husband's here somewhere...

Darling. Meet Roger and Carol.

Hi. Tony BIair.

- How do you do?
- Hello.

- So, I hear you're new to the area.
- Yeah, it seems very nice.

It is nice. Good people.

- Don't need a new car, do you, Tony?
- Roger sells cars.

Luxury cars. What is it you drive?

Rover, P6. V8.

- Excellent. Happy with it?
- Very.

Boys and their cars.

Listen, can I be
really, really forward?

- Oh, I Iove forward women.
- Roger, behave.

Sorry, what were you going to say?

Well, it's just we're new to Chorlton
and we don't really know anyone yet.

Why don't we all
go out for dinner one night?

I think we can do better than that.

We're having a few friends over
at our place tonight.

- Tonight?
- (ROGER) Oh, nothing fancy.

Just some nicely chilled BIue Nun
and a few vol-au-vents.

- Er...maybe some other...
- We'd Iove to.

Yeah.

Just have a quick knock-up here first
and work up a sweat,

then we'II come right over.

- (CHUCKLES) Yeah, OK.
- (ROGER) That's settled. Terrific.

Some nicely chilled BIue Nun
and some vol-au-vents.

This is Manc the Knife, is it (?)

There's something about him.
It's his eyes.

- He invited us to drinks tonight.
- So I heard.

Don't Iike it, Sam.
Skulking about in a van.

This might be the only chance we get.

- Evidence, you said.
- What's a vol-au-vent?

Got no bugs in his house,
we can't hear anything.

Nothing is going to happen. It's just
drinks, not one of those parties.

It's a puff-pastry shell,
filled with a savoury meat mixture.

- What if it gets out of hand?
- I won't Iet it.

PIease, sir.
I think we're getting somewhere here.

You mean a pie, then?

# Yeehoo!

(MAN) Absolutely ravishing.

# Got your summons,
sailed on a Sunday

# See what I've done...

- Thanks, Rog. It's a Iovely drop.
- Frisky, isn't it?

- It is.
- Pert and frisky.

- Lovely, Roger.
- Here, I'II take that.

(TWILLING) I've got a case of this...

Have something to eat, you two.

Now, there's sausage rolls,
vol-au-vents and a hedgehog.

- Hedgehog?
- It's not a real hedgehog, silly.

It's pineapple, cheese,
silver onion on a stick.

Mm. Delicious.

Carol. Hungry people over here.

Yes, dear.

I think that was a real hedgehog.

Behave.

- Now what do we do?
- (LAUGHTER)

- Does everybody Iike Santana?
- Oh, God.

God, I Iove Santana.

Try and get in conversation
with Twilling.

- I'm going to take a Iook around.
- OK.

- Be careful.
- I will. Darling.

- Lucky man.
- Oh, hello.

Thank you so much for inviting us.

Oh, we're always
Iooking for new friends.

Of the right sort,
if you understand what I'm saying.

Right sort?

Well, the world is changing, Tony.
My father thought he was Iucky

with a semi-detached
and a packet of Woodbines.

But I want more out of Iife
than that.

Fine wine. Good food.

Hm. More even than that.

But to get real pleasure,

you need to have the courage
to be different.

Don't you agree, Tony?

Yeah. Actually, I do.

Cherie?

Oh, well,
I just sort of do what I'm told.

(CHUCKLES) Nothing wrong with that.

If you'II excuse me.

- Little boys' room.
- Oh, I'II keep her warm for you.

(CHUCKLES)

(TOILET FLUSHES)

Hi.

Can I help you?

- I was Iooking for the bathroom.
- And does this Iook Iike a bathroom?

Truth? I was Iooking for you.

For me?

You're a very attractive woman.

You have a very beautiful wife.

Yes, I do.

Well, my husband
wouldn't Iike you being in here.

PIease.

- (WHISPERS)
- (CHUCKLES)

Oh, here he is.
She was fretting about you.

I was not.
I've been well entertained.

- We should go.
- Nonsense, you've only just arrived.

Well, I've got an early start
tomorrow, so, er...

Roger's just been telling me about
these amazing parties they have here.

Oh?

Well, only for the select few,
if you understand what I'm saying.

Oh, I think we all
understand each other.

Shall we come to your party, Carol?

I'II Iook forward to it.

If we're right
and this man is our killer,

we are in a very dangerous situation.

You don't have to worry about me.

Oh, thanks, Gwen. Thank you.

Gwen put some aside for me.

What is it with you and women?

Just don't put yourself
at any unnecessary risk, OK?

We're here to catch the murderer,
not offer him another victim.

- # Anything you can do...
- This is not a competition.

You don't have to prove yourself
to me, or anybody in this station.

What is wrong with you today?

Do you want the honest answer?
I'm bloody sick of 1 973.

Well, don't worry,
it'II be 1 974 soon.

- You know, where I'm from...
- Hyde.

Yes. Hyde. People Iove me, you know.

They don't want anything from me,
they don't want to fight me.

They just Iove me.
If they're still there.

Oh, never mind. There's always Gwen.

How's the, er...treacle sponge, sir?

It's magnificent.

- Mint custard?
- Yes, it's a triumph.

There's a woman to see you.
I put her in the Iost property room.

- Who is it?
- Mrs Edith Williams.

She says her daughter's gone missing.

When did you Iast see Denise,
Mrs Williams?

Two days ago.

She was meant to come over
for her tea, but never did.

- Did you phone her?
- Mm.

She's a good girl.
She always keeps in touch.

- I wouldn't bother you otherwise.
- It's no bother, Mrs Williams.

Then I read about the dead girl
in the paper

and that maybe you'd arrested
the wrong man all them years ago.

- I met your daughter, Mrs Williams.
- Oh, she's Iovely, isn't she?

She is.

Is she in trouble?

We think she might be, yeah.

- Is she dead?
- We've no reason to believe that.

I'm going to make it
my personal duty to find her.

OK, remember, Iisten out for anything
that will help us find Denise.

- Let's just hope we're not too Iate.
- OK, sir.

You hear me say, "Santana"
and we're out of here.

You follow me out, no questions,
we just Ieave, OK?

Hope you've got
clean Y-fronts on, sir.

I'm serious. One word from me
and we're out of here.

(MUSIC: SLADE'S "COZ I LUV YOU")

# I won't laugh at you
when you boo-hoo-hoo

# 'Cause I love you

# I can turn my back
on the things you lack...

We go to Spain every summer.
Benidorm. It's beautiful.

Have you ever been to Spain,
Mr BIair?

PIease, call me Tony.

Only to Barcelona.
I went to see the Gaudis.

A man of culture. How exciting.

- (TWILLING) Do you Iike travel, Cherie?
- Oh, I Iove to Iay in the sunshine.

Erm...I Iet Tony do the galleries
and the churches

and I just Iay on my back in the sun.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Time for dessert, I think.

So, Roger, how's business?

Oh, these are difficult times
for all of us.

The TUC have Heath on the rack
and are trying to destroy us all.

But it'II never happen.

I've got a cousin who works
at Conservative Central Office

and he told me
that if Wilson gets back in,

there's a secret plan
for the armed forces to oust him

and put Mountbatten in
as head of state.

- Good man, Mountbatten.
- No politics at table.

Now, we have BIack Forest gateau
and raspberry pavlova.

Delicious.

Thank you very much.

Right, boys and girls.

Let's get this down us and get on
with the entertainment, eh?

(MUSIC: DAVID BOWIE'S
"ALADDIN SANE")

- Do you think Denise is here?
- Don't know.

(WHISPERS) Don't do anything
you don't want to do.

OK.

Right. I hope everyone's
nice and relaxed.

Gentlemen?

Ladies?

I know I don't need to say this,
but it's just a reminder.

Whatever happens within these walls
stays within these walls.

Is that clear?

- Your keys, gentlemen, please.
- (KEYS CLANK INTO BOWL)

(ZIPPER UNZIPS)

(TWILLING) Very nice. Lovely.

Don't be shy, Cherie.

- (DOOR SLAMS)
- Evening, all.

- See you started without us.
- Who the hell are you?

Didn't you tell 'em we were coming?

I thought you'd chickened out.

(CLEARS THROAT) Roger,
this is my friend, Gordon...Brown.

And his...wife.

Suki.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
This is an invite-only party.

He invited me.

I...I'm sorry. Sorry, Roger. I, er...

Gordon's a good friend. I got
overexcited, I must have Iet it slip.

I Iove a party. I'm very discreet.

This is my house, Tony.
I decide who gets invited.

I understand that.
I'm...I'm sorry. We should go.

If you go, you go without me.
I'm enjoying myself.

I think Mr Brown
should be allowed to stay.

Thank you, er...Mrs...?

Mrs Luckhurst.

Hm.

Right. You four stay here.

We'II discuss this in the kitchen.

(CLEARS THROAT)

What the bloody hell
do you think you're doing?

Your stupid radio stopped working,

so I had to find out
what was happening in here.

- Who's she?
- Suki.

I Iet her off an arrest Iast week
for Iewd behaviour. She owed me.

- She's a prostitute.
- I am here, you know.

Well, you didn't think I'd fetch
me own wife here, did you?

OK. This is getting out of hand.

You were right.
We should just pull him in.

No. He's going to give himself away,
I know he is.

Good girl, Cartwright.
At Ieast somebody's got some balls.

Mr Brown? Your keys.

(MUSIC: T REX'S "THE SLIDER")

Come on. (GIGGLES)

# I've been down there
Everybody's been there

# Everyone, everyone...

Better than "Mr & Mrs", this.

Luckhurst by name, Iuck by nature.

# Desolation angel
on the cover of my paper

# Loves everyone

- # Everyone...
- (CLEARS THROAT)

God, we're not going to end up
with our own bloody wives, are we?

# Rock on, rock on,
yeah, yeah, yeah

Good girl.

# Rock on, rock on,
yeah, yeah, yeah

# Baby, rock on

# Baby, rock on...

I guess that just Ieaves
you and me, T ony.

# Baby, rock on...

You were right about the future,
Tony. BIoody marvellous.

# Baby, rock on...

You haven't done this before,
have you?

How can you tell?

Don't worry.

You start out shy and nervous,

but you'II be a greedy monster
in no time.

Greedy monster?

Well, I remember my first time
and I Iooked just Iike you.

So was this all your husband's idea?

What makes you say that?

Well, he seems to be
a very...forceful man.

He's a remarkable man.

So I take it you enjoy it, then?

I knew
you'd take your socks off first.

You're a classy man, Tony BIair.

Do things ever get a bit...

you know...

frisky?

- Frisky?
- Spanking, bondage...you know?

Violent, you mean?

Well, it must be difficult sometimes
to keep things under control.

When people get excited.

Is that what turns you on?

It's my wife's first time, too, so...
you know, she won't want to be hurt.

Oh, well, then she won't be.
My husband respects people's Iimits.

Don't you ever get jealous,

thinking about your husband
with other women?

Younger women?

(CHUCKLES) Your concept of marriage
is a bit bourgeois, Tony.

Don't you ever worry that one of you
would fall in Iove with someone else?

Falling in Iove isn't allowed,
I'm afraid.

(GENE SHOUTS)

Er...that's Mrs Luckhurst.

Your friend's never going to see Iife
in quite the same way again.

(WHISPERS) Kiss me.

(ANNIE SHOUTS) Stay down! Go on!
Stay down there where you belong!

- Annie? Annie!
- Annie?

- Santana!
- Where is she?

- In here.
- (ANNIE CRIES OUT)

- Police. Don't mo...
- What the hell?

- Are you all right?
- We're pulling you in. Get up.

I had him talking.
He was telling me girls' names.

(GRUNTS IN PAIN)

Nice act, Iittle girl.

(GROANS)

Now, THAT is the future of policing.

Tell us about Denise Williams.

We know she attended
one of your parties

and we know she's now missing.

Perhaps you didn't hear the answer
to your previous questions.

My client has no comment.

What about Sandra Trotman?

Another Beauvoir Lady. Murdered.

No comment.

Don't push me, boys.

I feel the need to expend
some frustrated energy.

Are you threatening us, DCI Hunt?

We know you had a Beauvoir Lady
uniform in your possession.

And we heard you
on our short-wave radio...

Only after you committed
a civil offence of trespass.

..talking about "some bloody tart
hassling me again".

Who was that girl, Twilling?
Was that Denise Williams?

No comment.

I don't know what happened, Roger.

Maybe a bit of play got out of hand,
but you murdered Sandra Trotman.

You bashed her head on the pavement
and dumped her body.

No comment.

You have a predilection
for sexual violence, don't you?

In his own home,
with consenting adults,

three of whom were members
of the Manchester Constabulary.

- If that gets in the papers...
- Into the papers?

It'II be on the front
of every newspaper in the world,

if you persist
in persecuting my client in this way.

(KEYS JANGLE)

(DOOR SLAMS)

Where is she, Carol?

- I want to see my husband.
- Where's Denise?

Or if she's dead,
then tell me where the body is.

She has a mother who's worried sick.

Don't make this any worse than it is.

If you have it in you
to Iet this woman Iive, then...

If you're not going to arrest me,
can I go home, please?

You were quite happy
with a normal marriage, weren't you?

You Iove your husband

and I understand
you want to protect him.

But this is murder.

Roger isn't capable of murder.

PIease...

can we go home now?

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

- Thanks very much.
- (WOMAN) Bye, then.

- Anything?
- Some gorgeous birds, boss.

- I'm not in the mood, Chris.
- Nothing, sir.

Auntie Heather.

Heather?

Are you talking to me?

- (WHISPERS) Heather?
- Yes? Do I know you?

You probably won't
recognise me, but...

Oh, Heather, it's so good to see you.

Don't touch me.

Um...

Look, I want you to know
that we're doing all we can.

I will find him, so...
you know, you'II be safe.

What is wrong with you people?

Steady on, Iove.
This is a DI you're talking to here.

Little Sammy.
Do you remember Iittle Sammy?

He's your favourite.

Time for a beer, sir.

Don't try your Iame Iines on me.

Go and find Denise.

(FOOTSTEPS, THEN KNOCK AT DOOR)

(EXHALES)

BIoody smug bastard. You should have
Iet me have a pop at him.

I've done something
which may be illegal,

but I didn't think. I just saw
the car and did it. But now...

- What is it?
- Untwist your knickers, Iove.

When we arrested the Twillings,
I put a radio transmitter in his car,

under the passenger seat.

(DENlSE) Look, I promise
I won't say anything.

Please, please don't hurt me.

- Where's your car, Twilling?
- My what?

Your car, sir.

- Where's Denise Williams?
- I don't know.

I'II ask you again.
Where is Denise Williams?

- Guv.
- (CHOKES AND COUGHS)

I really don't know.

I...I roughed her up a bit 'cause
she kept hassling me about Sandra.

- So you killed Sandra Trotman?
- No. I Ioved her.

(TWILLING COUGHS)

We had an affair
and then Carol found out.

- "Falling in Iove is not allowed."
- You what?

(DENlSE) Please don't do this...
Wait. Can't we talk?

- (CAROL) Shut up and walk.
- (DENlSE CRlES OUT)

- Carol.
- Where would she take her?

I don't know.

- They're Ieaving the car.
- (CRYlNG) Please don't hurt me!

(GlRL) Shitbloodyshit.
Bugger. Arsehole!

(MUSIC: "THE STORY IN YOUR EYES")

# I've been thinking
'bout our fortune

# And I've decided
that we're really not to blame

# For the love
that's deep inside us now

# Is still the same...

The Iady with the make-up.
Where is she?

# Is the music
to the story in your eyes

# It's been shining down
upon me now, I realise

# Listen to the tide slowly turning

# Wash all our heartaches away

(SNARLS)

# We're part of the fire...

It's OK.

There's nothing more stupid

than a man
who thinks he knows everything.

I think she's talking about you,
Sammy boy.

You OK? It's all right.

You took your time, copper.

How did it go with Mrs Luckhurst?

Cartwright, you did well today. I'II
allow you to buy me a whisky chaser.

Sir.

Guv. Mrs Luckhurst?

I don't want to talk about her.

AII right, all I will say is this.
Know that bloke in the Bible

who wanted to stuff a camel
through the eye of a needle?

- That would be Jesus.
- Yeah.

Well, he had nothing
on Mrs Luckhurst.

(CHUCKLES)

Guv?

- Good night.
- (CHRIS) Good night.

Boss?

- Thanks, boss.
- What for?

I had a date with that bird
Iast night.

Oh. How did it go?

It was, er...it was very nice.

Good. Nice is good.

Annie?

Sir?

Er...the Guv was right, you know.
You did well.

Well, I Iearnt from the best.

(CHUCKLES)

Listen, can I walk you home?

Oh, I'm going this way.
Meeting a bunch of mates.

Right.

You can come with us, if you Iike.

No, no, it's OK.
I'm, er...I'm hoping to meet a...

see someone myself tonight, so...

Well, good for you, sir.

- Night, Annie.
- Good night, Sam.

- (STATIC CRACKLES)
- (FRENZlED SCREAMlNG)

Ifyou could hear him
above the screams...

"Twelfth Of Never ".

Let's hope it's sooner than that

before we see you
up and at 'em again, Sam.

Maybe you can't even hear me.

Well, you don't need to hear my voice
to know I'm always here for you.

You've always been
my favourite nephew, Sam.

It breaks my heart
to see you like this.

Remember, your Auntie Heather
will always be here for you.

Now, from one lovely boy
to another...

it's Gilbert O'Sullivan
and "Alone Again (Naturally) "

(MUSIC: "ALONE AGAIN [NATURALLY]")

# In a little while from now

# If I'm not feeling any less sour

# I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower

# And climbing to the top

# Will throw myself off

# In an effort to make clear to who

# Ever what it's like
when you're shattered

# Left standing in the lurch
at a church

# Where people are saying

# "My God, that's tough,
she stood him up,

# "No point in us remaining,

# "We may as well go home, "

# As I did, on my own

# Alone again

# Naturally

# Alone again

# Naturally #

Chris? What the bloody hell
are you doing there?

Working, boss.

They've screwed up my medication.
I'm speeding. I've OD'd.

For God's sake, Sam.
There's been a kidnapping.

We've got two people missing,
in danger,

we've got no solid leads
and we're running out of time.

- Don't let him torture me.
- Rubbish. This isn't torture.

Where have you stashed them,
Mitchie boy?

I will move heaven and earth
to find them. OK?

Oh, shit.

No, no. No, no, no!
