London Kills (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Captive - full transcript

In exchange for turning a blind eye, Adrian Cook gives Rob the name of someone who knows where Sarah is, but that person turns up dead. Believing Sarah may still be alive, David and his team race to her find her.

I'm assuming
this isn't good news.

Rob told me that you had a visit
from the misper team.

He's worried that
they might have found Sarah.

They haven't, have they?

No.

But they're winding down
the inquiry.

Which means they think
she's dead.

Who am I kidding?

You forget about the gun,
and I'll --

I'll tell you all about it.

That's right.



Sarah Bradford
is very much alive.

Got it.
Thanks.

We've got a body.

Greenwich.
Near the river.

I'll come with you,

given that your colleagues
have done a disappearing act.

Mr. Roscoe.

Danny Roscoe, open up.
It's the police.

Open up.

How credible is your tip-off?

Billie?

We've got a body
in Greenwich.

I'll text you the details.

Uniform have got an I.D.
for the victim.



Taxi driver
called Danny Roscoe.

Could you repeat that,
please?

Danny Roscoe.

Yeah, that's what I thought
you said.

What?

You can stop looking
for Danny Roscoe.

Why?

He's dead.

Strange place
to park a black cab.

It's not like he'd be
dropping off a passenger.

- Morning.
- Boss.

How did he die?

Someone staved
the back of his head in.

Robbery?

No.
Still got his wallet.

Complete with cards and cash.

We also found his membership
card for the Chasing Red Casino,

where Marcus Maguire
was shot dead yesterday.

There's something
I need to tell you.

I got a tip-off.

The informant claimed
that he knew your wife is alive

and that this guy, Danny Roscoe,
knew where she was.

Who was the tip-off from?

That's not relevant.

He won't tell me either.

Have you been to
Roscoe's address?

Uh, yeah,
but there was no answer.

-Did you carry out a search?
-Not yet.

Get on it.
Call me from there.

Billie, find out everything
you can about our murder victim.

Rob, come with me.

Who's your source?

Adrian Cook.

I caught him with the gun

that was used to kill Marcus
and Callum Maguire yesterday.

I was about to arrest him,
but he made me an offer.

If I turned a blind eye, then
he'd give me the name of the guy

that saw Sarah alive.

Where's the gun now?

I stashed it
in my neighbor's garden.

They're away at the moment.
I wasn't gonna keep it at mine.

You know if you're found out,
you'll go to prison.

So, what do you want to do?

Pay Adrian Cook a visit.

Let's call by your neighbors'
on the way.

Okay, get somebody
out the back.

Oh, and bag this laptop.

Boss, um, Sarah is not
at Roscoe's flat and...

I can't see any sign
that she was ever held here.

Okay, Vivienne.
Thanks for looking.

Yeah, okay.

You'd better hope
she never finds out

what you've been up to.

This is Vivienne
we're talking about.

She won't turn a blind eye.

Petra, can you tell me
when you last saw your husband?

Yesterday morning.

Early.
Before we both went out to work.

You weren't concerned when
he didn't come home last night?

I left him
a couple of messages.

I just assumed
he was busy working.

Do you recognize this woman?

No.

Never seen her
in Danny's company?

Never.

I-Is she something to do
with what happened to him?

That's what we're trying
to find out.

Let's see it.

You're certain we'll find Adrian
Cook's prints and DNA on it?

-A hundred percent.
-Okay.

I'll send you a text.

Mr. Bradford.
How can I help you?

Talk to me
about Danny Roscoe.

That constable of yours
has got a big mouth.

All I want to do
is find my wife.

I don't care about
anything else.

Please.

So Roscoe had seen Sarah.

Why would that mean
he'd come into money? Hmm?

I don't know.

When he lost yet again,

I told him
I was canceling his credit,

and that's when he told me
all the stuff about your wife.

I'll need the hard drive.

Ah. Well, that would leave me
without CCTV.

Danny Roscoe was found dead
this morning.

This is a murder inquiry.

Nothing to do with me.

Nothing ever is.

We suspect our murder victim
was a thief.

How come?

The sarge recovered a laptop
from Danny Roscoe's flat.

We checked the serial number,

and it was reported stolen
six weeks ago

from an address in Hackney.

I contacted the owners.

Guess who drove them
to the theater that night.

Don't tell me.
Danny Roscoe.

It's highly unlikely
that Sarah hailed Roscoe's cab.

So, what if he came across her

when he was
breaking and entering?

It's possible.

What did Roscoe's wife
have to say for herself?

Not a lot.

She was hardly likely

to fess up to the fact
that he was a thief.

No.
I reckon I've been played.

Do you mind if I have
another crack at her?

Sure. Take Vivienne with you
for added muscle.

This is my sergeant,
Vivienne Cole.

I'm very sorry for your loss,
Mrs. Roscoe.

Well, it didn't stop you lot
turning the place over.

Look, we just want to find out
who attacked your husband.

Who killed him, you mean?

Did you recognize this?

It looked like
the one Danny had.

It's an expensive
piece of kit.

Yeah, Danny bought it
off a mate.

Which mate?

Have you got a name
or an address you could give us?

I don't remember.

This laptop has been
reported stolen.

Are you saying that my Danny
bought a dodgy laptop?

I need to inform you
that we believe

that this laptop
was stolen by your husband.

Get out.
Get out of my house!

Petra, we understand
you're upset.

He's not been dead a day
and you,

you're accusing him
of being a thief.

I want you out!

-Mrs. Roscoe --
-Get out of my house!

Do you think she's gonna
make a complaint?

Oh, let her try.

Whatever her husband was doing,

I guarantee you
she was up to her neck in it.

Dad?

Dad?

I ran Petra's name and date
of birth through the system.

There was police contact
with her when she was 15.

Why?

Her dad, Tony Pearce,

went to prison
for high-value burglary.

So Danny Roscoe
married into the family firm.

Mm-hmm.

Where does her dad live?

Hello, Petra.
What's in those boxes?

I want to talk
to my solicitor.

Yesterday lunchtime
Danny told me

that during the course
of a burglary yesterday morning

he had come across a woman

who he believed to be
held captive for some time.

He was convinced that this woman
was the wife

of Detective Inspector
David Bradford.

He had seen her disappearance
reported on the news.

I begged Danny
to call the police.

To think of what that --
that poor woman

and her family
have been through.

But -- But he was
rough with me.

So instead
he was planning to blackmail

Sarah Bradford's captor

into giving him £5,000
to keep quiet.

Did Danny tell you
who was holding Sarah Bradford?

-No.
-Or where?

No.

I used CCTV to track
Danny Roscoe's journey

to the murder site.

Mobile ANPR picks up his cab
on Eulford Road

at 22:18 last night.

Then I did a convoy check,

and a red estate car
rendezvouses with Danny's cab

at an industrial site
in Charlton.

Presumably checking
they weren't being followed.

The estate then follows the cab
for a further 15 minutes.

Can you I.D. the estate car?

I can. Phoebe Ingram
is the registered keeper.

41 years old.
Originally from North Wales.

Moved to London in 1990.

And she's got a nice big house.

The sort of house Danny Roscoe
would love to burgle.

Boss?

He was all on his own.

I found this under the bed
in the basement bedroom.

It's Sarah's.
I'm sure of it.

That means she was
definitely held here.

It looks like it.

One of the glass panes
in the back door was broken.

Presumably that's how
Danny Roscoe broke in.

And came face to face
with Sarah.

What I don't understand is,
if this is Phoebe Ingram's baby,

where's she?

What?

Don't let David in.

Get a SOCO team down here
straightaway,

and keep
the detective inspector out.

Is it Sarah?

I'm sorry, David,
I-I couldn't tell.

They're gonna fast-track
an I.D.

The dead woman was wearing
a couple of rings.

SOCO let me take a photo.

Are you up for taking a look?

Those aren't Sarah's rings.

Are you sure?

I know what my wife's rings
look like.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.
It was a stupid question.

So maybe it isn't Sarah.

She's been missing for months.

Just because she's wearing
different jewelry

doesn't mean it's not his wife.

And he knows that.

None of the neighbors
have laid eyes

on Phoebe Ingram for months.

So she could be
the body in the freezer.

Who's the boy?

Her brother, Philip Ingram.
He's now 34 years old.

And the neighbors have seen him
go in and out.

Phoebe and Philip's dad
walked out years ago,

and their mother died
when Philip was nine.

What I can't find
is any record of a baby.

That is properly strange.

So if it is Phoebe Ingram
in the freezer,

maybe her brother's
got Sarah.

Makes sense.

We've got her car details.

Yeah, they're being circulated.
We'll find it.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

Adrian Cook's been picked up.

He's gonna accuse us
of fitting him up.

He hasn't a shred of proof.

Act surprised.

I thought you'd both
like to know --

Adrian Cook's been arrested.

What for?

Possession of a firearm

and conspiracy to murder
Marcus and Callum Maguire.

The National Crime Agency found
a gun hidden at his casino.

We suspected he provided
the murder weapon.

Looks like we were right.

The NCA were acting
on a tip-off

from a confidential informant.

I'll let you know
if there's any more details.

Well, that's a turn-up
for the books.

Why would Cook stash the gun
on his own premises?

He knew
we were looking for it.

Billie Fitzgerald.

Yeah, Billie's right.

Adrian Cook wouldn't be
that stupid.

Phoebe Ingram's car's been
spotted on ANPR in Hackney

traveling south.

I reckon
it's heading back home.

Somebody should tell the boss.

If we get a shift on,
we can get there first.

Call for backup,
but I don't want anyone else

intercepting this.

Control from D.C. Brady.

Okay.
Thanks Vivienne.

It was Phoebe Ingram
in the freezer.

So it's got to be her brother
driving the car, then.

Boss.

Police!

Aah!

-Where's Sarah?!
-No!

Where is my wife?!

Back off!

Back off, sir.

You all right, Philip?

Okay, Philip, it's okay.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.

All right?

We just need to know
that Sarah's all right.

I took her back
to where I found her.

Where's that, Philip?

I took her back
to where I found her.

Philip Ingram's being assessed

to see
if he's fit for interview.

It's a slow process,
as we all know.

Yeah, and meanwhile
Sarah's God knows where.

What do we know about
this guy?

Uh, well,
after their mum died,

the older sister, Phoebe,
she brought Philip up.

And what was Phoebe's
cause of death?

The pathologist reckons
it was a bleed-out

as a result of a mishandled
birth about five months ago.

Which explains the baby.

Yeah, um, the mum left them
a substantial sum.

Phoebe did some voluntary work,

but Philip's never
held down a job.

Because of
his mental health issues?

Yeah, at the age of 12
he was excluded from school

for repeated violent outbursts.

So then the sister
homeschooled him,

and it seems to me
she cut him off from the world.

This was found in one of
Petra Roscoe's boxes.

There's no Sim card.

It certainly
looks like Sarah's.

I've charged it,
but I need the passcode.

Oh. Um...

It's Carly's birthday.
July 7.

0707.

Yep.

Sarah's phone hasn't been used
since the day she went missing,

so there's nothing new
in calls, texts, or GPS.

What is new are the photos
Sarah saved to her hard drive,

not the cloud.

Have you any idea
what this is?

Liam.

Who's Liam?

Last year,
Sarah and I lost a baby.

He was stillborn.
Just under six months.

I wasn't there
when it happened.

I was on a covert op, so Sarah
couldn't get hold of me.

It hit her
really, really hard.

She called him Liam.

I didn't know
she'd done this.

Buried him?

No.

No, the hospital
took care of all of that.

I'm sure
it's just a memorial.

That's Sarah's parents' grave.

This photograph was taken

on the day
that Sarah went missing,

two hours after
she was last seen.

Philip Ingram
said he was taking Sarah

back to where he found her.

What's been
going on recently?

Sorry?

With you and Rob
and the detective inspector?

Do you really think
I hadn't noticed?

Rob and I had got
the wrong end of the stick.

David wasn't
where he said he was

on the night
that his wife went missing.

What, and you thought
he had something...

Yeah, and now I feel
ashamed at myself.

You know, he said
I wasn't a team player.

Maybe he's right.

You didn't mention
that Sarah was pregnant.

We didn't tell anyone.

She'd miscarried before.

It was six months.
You must have thought...

Sarah accused me
of not really wanting a child.

She was wrong.

You could've talked to me.

It's years
since I've been here.

Sarah's mum's funeral.

Can you remember
where the grave is?

This place is massive.

Somewhere up here, I think.

I see something.

Could that be Sarah?

It's her!

She's breathing.

Sarah?

Sarah?

I think he must have drugged
her. Call for an ambulance.

- T.D.C. Fitzgerald to control.
- Go ahead.

We need an ambulance
to St. Cardus Cemetery.

Received.

Stay with me, Sarah.

- Boss.
- Billie.

We found her.

She's at the grave.
She's alive.

Thank God.

They found her?

Where are you exactly?

They're on their way.
All right?

They really want to know
what Ingram's given her.

Billie, find out if Ingram's
sister was on any kind of meds.

Will do.

Look at that.

That's Philip Ingram's mother.

So that's how she met him,
then.

Carly.
It's Dad.

We've found your mum.

Yeah, she's with
the doctors now.

Wish you weren't so far away.

Yeah, we'll get you home.

I tracked down
Phoebe Ingram's G.P.

Phoebe had an accident
a couple of years back.

She was on serious
pain medication.

So maybe that's what
he's given Sarah.

Have you let the hospital know?

Yeah, I've just
phoned it through.

Great.

Rob?
Can I have a word?

I've just heard off the record
that Adrian Cook

is threatening
to make a complaint.

He's alleging that the detective
inspector shut down his CCTV

so that you could
plant the gun in the casino.

He's desperate.

He's also saying
that it was him

that gave you the tip-off
about Danny Roscoe

in return for you turning
a blind eye to the fact

that he supplied a firearm
used in a double murder.

You wouldn't do anything that
stupid, now, would you, Rob?

Of course not.

Mr. Cook.

-Good to see you again.
-Ha ha ha.

So word is that you're about
to be charged with

conspiracy to murder
and possession of a firearm.

I've been fitted up.

Oh, and yet forensics
have come back

showing your fingermarks
on the gun,

and your DNA.

So let me get this right --

You're not denying
handling the gun,

you're just complaining
about the manner

in which
the police found it?

See, I don't think
that's gonna go down

very well with the judge.

Doesn't your mate Rob Brady

understand the concept
of a deal?

We don't do deals,
Mr. Cook.

You should know that by now.

David.

Where's Carly?

Carly's fine.

She's on her way back
from France.

She's been on a school trip.

I can't tell you
how much I've missed you.

Lucy is here to act as your
appropriate adult today, Philip.

If there's anything
you don't understand,

you can ask Lucy,
and she'll explain it for you.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay?

Can you tell me
about the baby, Philip?

His name's Rhys?

Phoebe met a man,
the man stayed the night,

and then we had Rhys.

Did Phoebe have the baby
in hospital?

No.
At home.

And did you help?

I tried,
but after Rhys was born,

Phoebe stopped breathing.

Did you call an ambulance?

No.

Why not?

Phoebe doesn't want me
to talk to people like that.

When Phoebe stopped breathing,
what did you do?

I put her in the freezer
like they do on the telly,

and she's safe then
till she wakes up.

I made a memorial
for our son.

I saw it.

I went to the graveyard
to think.

And he was there.

Philip?

When he told me he was trying
to look after a baby,

my heart went out to him.

How did Sarah end up
coming to stay at your house?

I went to my mum's grave,
and Sarah was there.

Like an angel.

She told me that her baby
had died.

What happened?
That night.

Before you met Philip Ingram.

I followed you.

And I saw you.

With a woman and a child.

It was work.

Her name is Grace.

She's a witness --
an informant --

in a highly sensitive
investigation.

Okay.

Stay there.

Philip asked me
to go back to the house,

just to talk about things
he might need for the baby.

It felt good.

Looking after baby Rhys.

Punishing you.

But just for a moment.

I told Philip I had to go home,
and he wouldn't let me go.

And the next thing I knew,
I was waking up in a cellar.

He's a big lad.

It wasn't hard for him
to stop me leaving.

It was like
having Phoebe back again.

Tell us about this man.

He broke into our house, and he
took Phoebe's favorite statue.

Where were you
when he broke in?

At the shops getting food.

I spent most of the time
with the baby

in that cellar.

Yesterday morning
I was half asleep.

Philip was out.

I heard a noise.

I knew it wasn't Philip,
so I called out.

His name
was Danny Roscoe.

I called out to him that I was
being held against my will.

He tried to open the door,
but it was padlocked.

When I told him who I was,

he promised
he would get help.

And what happened next?

I came home,

and Sarah started screaming
at me,

telling me
that I had to let her go.

So I gave her the medicine
to make her sleepy.

How did you arrange
to meet Danny Roscoe?

Shecalled.

She?
A woman?

Mm-hmm.

Was it his wife?

Yeah.

Okay, we'll be having
some serious words with her.

What did she say?

She said
I had to meet the robber,

give him £5,000,
or they'd tell the police,

and they'd take Sarah
away from me.

And what happened
when you met him?

He had Phoebe's statue.

He said it was rubbish
and that he couldn't sell it.

He threw it on the ground.

I don't have £5,000.

And what did you do?

I picked it up.

I hit him over the head
with it.

I wanted him to be quiet.

Where's the statue now, Philip?

It's in the hall.

All this -- this
insane thing that's happened,

it's -- it's not your fault.

David, it's me.
Call me back.

Or better still,
just get over here.

I think
that someone's outside.

I'm frightened.

That cellar that I was in,

Phoebe used to
lock Philip in there

when she couldn't
control him.

What'll happen to him?

There's no way
he's fit to plead.

I can't believe
you're not angry.

I love you.

I'm gonna be just outside.

David, it's me.
Call me back.

Better still,
just get over here.

Grace, I got your message.

I can't get away right now,

but I'll send 'round
someone you can trust.

Don't worry.

Thanks.
For everything you did.

It's finally over.

You got her back.

I still can't quite believe it.

We're just
so happy.

Sorry.

Adrian Cook hasn't made
a complaint.

Rumor has it
Vivienne had a word.

Listen, I need a favor.

I shouldn't be telling you
any of this,

but I can't leave Sarah
on her own, not again.

The woman I was with
the night Sarah disappeared

wasn't my girlfriend.

Grace Harper
is under police protection.

She's a witness in a highly
sensitive undercover inquiry.

That's why
I couldn't be honest

about where I was
and what I was doing.

So why tell me now?

I'm Grace's handler.

She's just left me a message
saying she's frightened,

and now she's not
answering her phone.

Do you want me
to go 'round there?

Please.

I'll text the address.

Grace?

It's Detective Constable
Rob Brady.

David Bradford sent me.

Grace?

You all right, mate?

All right, then?

Rob.

David,
I know you're with Sarah,

but you need
to know something.

Grace Harper's dead.
