The Guilty (2013): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

He was four when he went missing.
Yes, he'll be nine now.

I'm so sorry.

Someone got scared and tried to hide
what happened.

They identified the blanket
Callum was wrapped in.

It was in his drawer and someone came
into the house and took it.

Is it Nina Hooper?

You didn't go into the room?
No.

Where were you for those four
hours? With Teresa Morgan.

Please, I need to -

It was me! I killed Callum Reid.

Why move the body?



I wanted to give him back
to his family.

Why not tell them where he was?

Why did you come forward now? When
he was found I knew it was time.

He was found three weeks ago. You
could have said something then.

Wait there.

I didn't want to hurt him.

I couldn't help myself.

I'm going to take Luke in this
morning.

Pick up some of the work he's missed.

Can we talk first?

You called it a crush.

You told me nothing happened and now
you say you were leaving me.

That was never gonna happen.

Well...



if you stayed for Callum...

..you're free now, aren't you?

That's not fair. I don't want you to
stay with me out of pity.

Claire! Stop.

You and Luke... you're my whole life.
You know that.

You and Anderton let this weirdo
pass right under your nose? No.

It's unbelievable. Don't come it
with me, son. You weren't there.

We looked at everyone.
We talked to everyone.

Only after you let every bugger who
felt like it through the crime
scene.

Ma'am. You talked to him last time.
What did you think?

He came across a bit squirrely
but there was nothing there.

And he had an alibi.
He had met Callum.

He'd done a few jobs for the Reids
about a month before.

That's one up on the other nutters
we've had. Did Claire hire him?

He worked on a few of Daniel's
sites. Gave him his card when he set
up as a handyman.

Daniel reckoned he was a good worker.
Wait. He doesn't have an alibi.

Yes, he does. Rose's employer said
he got to work at 5:45 on Sunday
morning.

Which only ruled him out when the
last sighting was 5am.

Where was he Saturday night?
At home.

Watching TV. He lived on his own.
Course he did.

Who was the employer? He'd just
started a regular maintenance
contract at St Abigail's Care Home.

On Quays Road.
The one with the nuns.

They're sisters actually.
There's a difference.

OK, well, I want to speak to them.
I'll be back in an hour.

The creepy Catholic handyman didn't
set off any alarm bells? Fuck off.

Jeb. Jeb!

Hey, sweetheart. Are you OK?

Missed you so much.

Here. You can have some later.

After tea, yeah?

Sorry I didn't call back.
Don't worry about it.

You've only been out of the country
a couple of days.

Stupid of me to think you might want
to come home, see your son.

I told you, I had to interview a
suspect.

And that couldn't be during office
hours.

Then you can use it as an excuse
not to come home.

The bloke attacked me in the car
park and confessed to murder.

What was I supposed to do?
Attacked? What do you mean? Sh!

He just gave me a fright, that was
all.

Great. We need you here and you're
out there trying to get killed.

You shouldn't let him keep wearing
those. It's not helping.

I'll have a shower then I'll take
him. What?

I'll have a shower and then I'll
take him.

The educational psychologist
is observing him today.

Wants to meet us after he does the
assessment. OK?

OK.

Sister, Mr Rose has recently
confessed to a serious crime.

We're trying to establish whether he
could be telling the truth.

Thomas has a very strong faith.

I've never known him to lie.

Do you think he'd be capable
of... harming a child?

No, I don't. But he has his own
particular cross to bear.

As we all do.

I'll come and fetch you if you've
had enough.

Hey, Claire!

How are you doing?

We're OK. We're doing OK.

We're going to go and see
Luke's teacher.

I'm off into town later
if you need something.

Erm... thank you. I think we're fine
though, actually.

Oh, my goodness. Is that Felix?
Yes!

He promised he'd be back
for the wedding.

Oh, my God, Ruth. I'm so sorry.
Your dress. We were going to go
shopping, weren't we?

Don't be daft.
I'm really sorry, Ruth.

Don't worry about it. Really. But if
you need anything just call me, OK?

I will. Sure.

Felix. Goodness me.

I didn't have to break in. I had a
key from when I worked there.

Why didn't you return it after the
job? I did. I made a copy.

So then you waited till a night when
there were dozens of people around?

It was quiet by the time
I got there.

If you had a key you could have gone
any time. Why that night?

It wasn't planned.

So what happened after you let
yourself into the house?

I told you. I went up to his room

and I woke him up.

Didn't want to scare him.

Told him we were going for a drive.

There was a surprise.

But he started calling out.

I just wanted to keep him quiet.

So what? You put your hand over his
mouth?

You held him by the throat?
What exactly did you do?

I had my arm around him,
holding him against me.

My other hand was over his mouth.

And my arm must have been pressing
against his throat.

I didn't realise... until...

OK, so, he's dead.
He's lying on the ground.

Why didn't you just get out of
there? I couldn't leave him like
that.

For his parents to find him.

So you carried him out into the
street like that.

All the way to the allotment -
no-one saw you?

I wrapped him up.

In what? I got a blanket.

From the drawer.
A blue baby blanket.

And I wrapped him in it.

We found bags of cement but there's
no obvious signs of a grave.

Would there be? He said he
filled it in afterwards.

Yeah. Of course.

It is perfect, though, isn't it?

You wouldn't notice anybody digging.

Loads of sacks and crates around.
No-one watching.

Just a bunch of old blokes in sheds.
Maybe.

Maybe it's too perfect. Mm.

Sorry, ma'am. Teresa Morgan's back
at the station.

I didn't know if you still wanted to
talk to her. Yeah, I do.

Call me if they find anything.

Daniel didn't want to say he'd
been with me for Claire's sake.

So you lied in your statement.

No, I... Yeah.

The conversation you had with Daniel
in the car, after the party...

I know it's a long time ago but if
you can cast your mind back.

Were you planning to go away
together?

Well, I was.

My marriage was a disaster.

Daniel was very sweet.

I guess I convinced myself that
it could be something more.

He didn't feel the same?
I don't know. Maybe.

Maybe it was just a bit of
excitement.

All the sneaking around and...

..meeting up in deserted buildings.

I mean, if you're going to have an
affair, choose an architect.

They've got keys
to all sorts of places.

But... I knew he'd never leave
his kids.

I mean, Luke was still messed up
over losing his mum.

There was no way Daniel would have
broken up his family.

That night I drove him home and still
sat there for half an hour.

Thinking he might change his mind.

And then... I saw the light go out.

I knew he wasn't coming.

You didn't see him get into his car?

No, I... assumed he'd gone to bed.

So I drove away.

Reece wants an update
when you're ready.

She confirmed Daniel's story, then?

More or less.

The original statement - someone
talked to Luke Reid, didn't they?

Yeah, but only briefly.

Nina put him to bed, he had a vague
memory of a nightmare.

His dad coming in - that was about
it.

He was only six at the time so I
think he was confused. Disorientated.

Did he say what the nightmare was
about?

I don't think so.

Hi, it's Teresa. I just wanted to
tell you that I've spoken to the
police.

I hope I haven't said anything
that'll make things difficult.

Look... um... you call me
when you can.

Be good to hear your voice.

Bye.

He's still vague on
a lot of details.

Except the blanket.
Except the blanket.

It definitely wasn't released to
anyone? No, sir.

How long can we keep him?
Our next review's at 6am.

Shall we ask for an extension?
I don't think so.

I'm going to talk to Luke Reid. If
someone did come in the house
maybe THAT woke him. OK.

But get the FLO to talk to the
parents to minimise stress.

You're absolutely sure about letting
Rose go?

He came to us. I don't think he's
going anywhere.

You're wasting time. I told them
what I did. What more do you need?

Stop it, Mum!

OK, Sam. Do you want to come in?

Looking at the triad of impairment,

he's not ticking boxes in every
area, not by any means.

But he IS ticking enough for it to
mean we may have a problem.

Triad of impairment?

I'm talking about the core autism
behaviours.

OK, so what do we do next?

Sam will need to be seen by a
multi-disciplinary team.

That usually takes around six
months.

You could see someone privately

but local authorities won't always
accept a non-NHS diagnosis.

If we went privately is there
someone you could recommend?

Want me to drop you back?

I'm gonna pick up that timber.
I'll get a lift back with Stevo. OK.

So I'll call this guy and um...

We'll talk tonight, yeah?

Yeah.

See you later. Mm.

Did Nina always put Callum to bed
first?

Yeah. So I could have a story on my
own.

My son always wants half a dozen.

So after Nina had gone,
did you go straight to sleep?

I don't know. I think so.

It was late. They were both
exhausted.

But then you woke up during the
night.

I had a bad dream.

Do you remember what it was about?

Do you think something else could
have woken you?

Maybe someone walking about, maybe
you heard Callum call out?

I don't think so. Dad came when I
cried and then...

He stayed until I went back to
sleep.

Earlier on, at the barbecue,

you don't remember anyone trying to
talk to you or Callum.

Maybe someone who wasn't supposed to
be there?

Thank you for talking to me, Luke.
You've been really helpful.

Want to go upstairs?

We'll be done in a minute.

Well done.

So you're sure now they took Callum
from the house?

It's starting to seem more likely.

Someone has come forward.

We're still trying to establish
if it's a hoax. A confession?

I can't say any more
at the moment.

Does Luke still have bad dreams? Mm.

Not so often.

I can't really -
He dreams he can't breathe.

Started about the same time as his
asthma.

We took him to see a child
psychologist when he was small

and she thought it might be
something to do with him blaming
himself for his mum's death.

Or even resenting the new baby.

Of course, he couldn't just be
afraid of having an asthma attack.

These people.

Hi. Yeah, that's right. He's been
referred from the school.

Really?

Right, I see.

OK, I'll have to call you back.

That's a lovely rose.
Madame Alfred Carriere.

I don't like to tame her too much.

Daniel said he used to help you with
the shared garden.

He had a go. Not really a natural,
though.

No? He planted a few things when I
was looking after my wife.

He was gutted when everything died.

It's the magnolia, you see. Not many
things'll grow near them.

I'm home!

Mum. Hiya, love.

What's all this?

Your mum thought they might
be helpful.

Where's Sam? Watching TV.

Sue's nephew has Aspergers.
I was telling her about Sam.

Why did you have to tell her?

Well, I needed to talk to someone.

I'd just rung Jeb and he told me the
news.

So you got straight on the phone to
Sue.

He's my grandson, Maggie.
I had the right to be upset.

And Sue was lovely. She said she -
Just stop. Just stop.

Not turning this into yet another
drama with you as the star.

That's horrible. Yeah. You're not
the only one struggling round here.

I'm going to see Sam. You should go
home. Maggie.

Is she here to see you?
I don't know what she wants.

You should go and talk to her.

Wait, wait.

Kiss me.

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.

I can't.

OK. Let's go get those boards.

I'm mainly working for their
in-house recruitment, you know...

Um... head-hunting from their
regional offices, that kind of
thing.

Right.

How are you? Why are you here?

Teresa, what is it you want?

I just wanted to see you.

I've thought about you so much.

About when we're together.

I meant it.

That last night...

When I... When I asked you to leave
with me.

Yeah.

And while I was with you my son
was dying.

Sorry. Shouldn't have come.

Get out! I'm so sorry.

Get out of my house!
I never meant to -

Get out! Get out!

He was inside the house. I know.

And now the press have got hold of
him.

We have a confession. Rose knows
details only the killer could know.

He has motive, means.
We're still looking at the Reids.

Daniel Reid in particular. You said
he lied cos he was having an affair.

There could be more to it. It
doesn't fit that he was planning to
leave.

Do you have any direct evidence that
implicates Daniel Reid and rules out
Thomas Rose?

Not at this stage.

Then we take it to the CPS.
We've got enough to charge him.

Hi.

They've gone to the Press room.

For Reece's statement.

Right.

Listen, can you track down all the
properties with any links to Daniel
Reid's company in 2008

and cross-reference them all with
the original search logs?

Yes, ma'am.

Should I do that now?

Please.

I can only apologise again.

As I say, we had no reason to
believe Rose would approach you

but it must have been very
distressing. Are you sure it's him?

He was able to give certain details
which we don't think he would have
known otherwise.

Like what?

He described the blanket.

And he confirmed he'd taken it from
the drawer in Callum's room.

As you know that wasn't something
we'd released to the public.

It's over.

Thank you.

Hi, love. His own little blue
blanket. It's just horrible.

They say it's confirmation he
was taken from the house.

Hang on.

I asked you to stay away.

Please. I just want to apologise.
I never meant to upset Mrs Reid.

I just wanted to pass on my
condolences.

Yes, well, you need to go.

Hey, Luke.

I just saw on TV.

I'm really glad they got him. Yeah.

How are you doing? Are you OK?

Listen, I know I was a bit of a dick
back then...

..but you never told anyone, did you?

I mean, we were just messing about.
None of it was real.

But I'm sorry, yeah?

'I'll show you something if you like
but don't tell anyone.

It's a secret.'

Mike did say he'd like to see you
too.

Sure you won't come?

You go and spend some time together.

Have fun, yeah?

Everybody ready?

Everybody ready?!

Well, let's go, then!

Sam, hold on.

OK, what about smaller developments?

Stuff they worked on previously that
he might still have keys for.

Keep checking.

Hi. No.

Come on.

Come and say hi to Mike.

Come on. Come on. Get on the boat.

Come on, Sam. No.

Sam, don't be silly.
Sorry, Lenny.

What are you doing? Come on.

Mike's waiting for us. Come on.

Leave me alone. Sam.

Please, no, what are you doing?

No! Stop it.

Sam, what are you doing? Stop it!

Sam, stop it.
Where are you going?

Sam, we're all ready to go.

No! No!

Sam. Ow!

It's cos it was green.

Your boat.

I believe colours can be a trigger.

I keep telling myself he's still
Sam.

It's not like anybody died.

You imagine who they're going to be,
don't you?

From when they're tiny.

And now...

Sorry.

You should get that looked at.
No, I'm fine.

Smells good.

We haven't got any Parmesan.

Don't worry, I'll pick some up
tomorrow.

Thanks, sweetheart.

This is lovely. Thank you.

I could do with a few more scars.

Hardened crime fighter.

How is he? Fine.

Went out like a light.

I was crap.

I had no idea what to do.

There's not much you can do.

Just got to wait it out.

We should have done something
sooner.

We knew...

We knew he had tantrums
but all kids do.

It wasn't just that.

Gonna get it sorted, OK?

Once we know for sure there's lots we
can do to help him.

I've been reading your mum's books.

So, I went through the properties
like you asked.

And there wasn't really anything.
Just talk me through.

Reid Associates specialised in
corporate architecture.

Daniel had two big jobs on at the
time.

Both sites were searched and there
was a barn conversion

he had been consulting on.
They went over that too.

And they looked at previous jobs?
They went back three years. Nothing.

Right. The only thing that I found
was this.

Reid Associates bought a piece of
land in early 2008.

They were knocked back twice for
planning permission

so the development didn't go ahead.
OK. Good.

Does Daniel still own the land? No.

A water company bought it by
compulsory purchase in 2009.

Right. I mean, it wasn't on the
search list

and there's no mention of any
buildings on the site.

But there could have been sheds or
outhouses.

When in 2009? March.

But they gave them notice
back in October.

One month before the body was moved.

DCI Brand.

I'm where I'm supposed to be.

I don't believe that.
Not much I can do about that.

I don't understand.

Is it about fame? To feel important,
have people notice you?

Why are you doing this?

I'm not fit to be around people.

I'm a danger.

I need to be locked up.

But you didn't kill Callum.

You have a son, don't you?
Dark hair, brown eyes.

What do you know about my son?
I wanted to talk to you.

You've been following me?
I've watched young boys.

I watch and I imagine and I try not
to act.

You still think I shouldn't be here?

I think we were wrong, I think he
confessed

cos he's scared of what he's capable
of.

He couldn't have known about the
blanket.

Perhaps he talked to someone who'd
been in contact with the family.

You have no way of knowing that.
Reid owned a piece of land in 2008.

It was never searched and then,
six months later,

he found out it was going to be
flooded.

We never knew why the body was
moved.

If the land was going to be flooded
that's a perfect reason to keep it
where it was.

Callum was his son. It wasn't just
about hiding the body.

You've become fixated on the father.

I understand. But the case against
Rose is sound.

Listen to me, Maggie. You have to
stop.

Aside from anything else, if you make
an accusation like that,

it will end your career.

You have to let it go.

It's over.

When can we go? They haven't cut the
cake yet.

Go say hi to Felix.

No, thanks.

This is meant to make Sam feel
grounded, supported.

Oh! Whatever! Is it?

No, it's good. It's good.

Push! Push me.

DCI Brand.

Sorry. When...?

When did this happen?

Yeah, OK.

Yep. Thanks.

What is it?

Um...

Thomas Rose was stabbed in prison.

He er...

He died on the way to hospital.

They said he provoked the attack.

Apparently he spat in another
inmate's face.

Basically killed himself.

Very late.

Claire's er... in bed.

It's you I want to talk to.

Thomas Rose was killed this
afternoon.

Which means the case is now
officially closed.

I know. Your detective
superintendent called us.

Two men have died because of this
investigation.

First Jason Byrne, now Thomas Rose.

That doesn't bother you?
Course it does.

But if Rose murdered my son -
I don't think he did.

What do you mean?

I think we charged the wrong man.

Are you saying I'm a suspect again?

After everything you've put my
family through. I'm saying...

the investigation is closed.

I can't prove Thomas Rose didn't
kill your son.

Then... it's over. Is it?

Whatever it is you think
I've done...

..you are wrong.

Dan.

Who is it you're trying to protect?

You need to go.

You know it's never going to go
away. I said go. Now.

Oh, I um...

I went up to the Queen's Reservoir.

Must have been a beautiful spot.

Once a child has lost one parent
they live in constant fear
of losing the other.

A new relationship, a new
sibling...

..these could all be seen
as threats.

And you do need to deal with that.

Stop that!

Callum!

Was it OK? Being back at school.

Pretty boring.

What about the other kids?
They were OK.

You don't have to talk about
anything you don't want to.

I know.

Luke.

If there are things you want to
talk about that's what I'm here for.

I never want you to worry about
something...

Or blame yourself for something
and feel you can't talk to me.

Whatever it is.

Anyway...

Let's get finished up. Claire's
invited Felix over for dinner.

What for?

His mum's away. He's on his own.

I thought you liked Felix.
No, I don't. He's a fucking idiot.

Hey! What's he ever done to you?

Hey. Luke. Talk to me.

If he's done something, if he's hurt
you...

He hasn't.

He...

What?

He... He told us it was a game.

He said to get a bale of twine

and he'd show us how to do something
cool.

What are you talking about?
What did he show you?

Luke. What did he show you?

It was stupid. He said if you
wrapped something round your neck

you'd go dizzy and feel like you
were flying.

And when was this?

At the barbecue. Him and his mate.

Pretending he was dead. Hanging from
a tree. It was horrible.

Why would anyone do that if
they knew what it felt like?

And you really can't breathe.

You wouldn't mess around like that.

And Callum saw this?

Yeah. He thought it was funny.

He said he wanted to try it but you
know what he was like.

I made him come away.

I came to find you but...

I'm sorry.

Callum just thought it was a game.

He thought everything was a game.

Stop that!

He told me to.

Do it again.

Daniel?

Daniel. Ah.

Oh, hello, love. I'm sorry I'm
late.

It's only pasta. It'll only take me a
few minutes.

I just want to show you these shoes.

Daniel?

Oh, my darling.

What's wrong?

I'm so sorry.

I just...

wanted to protect him.

I know. I know.

He didn't do it, Claire.

He didn't hurt him.

I thought it was Luke. I thought
Luke killed Callum but...

He was his little brother.
He tried to keep him safe.

I lied.

Claire.

Can you get copies of this for me,
please?

And um...

Ma'am.

I had to make a choice.

We'd already lost Callum.

I thought if I could save Luke...

But I made a mistake.

Callum was just copying some...

..stupid game. Luke wasn't even
there.

It was an accident.

Luke didn't do it.

He didn't do it.
