00:04She was repeatedly raped over a seven year period
00:07Don't move away!
00:12No!
00:13I'm coming in
00:13No!
00:14You're gonna tell me what happened to my family
00:30I have to know what happened to my family
00:37I don't know
00:38You must know
00:39They died when your car hit theirs
00:41Stop it, please
00:42You're the only person who can tell me
00:44All I want is to talk to you
00:47Please
00:49Just for a minute
00:53Thank you
01:00Oh
01:06You've got kids
01:09Look, maybe this isn't such a good idea
01:12No
01:13No, really
01:16It's fine
01:17What are their names?
01:19Evie and Tom
01:20They're everything to you, aren't they?
01:27I already spoke to the police
01:29You saw me at the station
01:30But you didn't tell them everything
01:32I can't remember
01:33I'm supposed to call back when everything's a bit clearer
01:36That's all changed
01:37That's why I'm here
01:38Sorry, I thought you...
01:41Is that allowed?
01:43I'm the senior officer at Sunhill
01:44I've decided to personally oversee this investigation
01:48But it was your...
01:49My wife, yes
01:50And my children
01:52It's okay, you can say it
01:55Why don't I just...
01:56No!
01:57We have to do this, times
02:01I'm sorry, I can't
02:02Not with you, please
02:03I need to know
02:06Surely you can understand that
02:08I have to know what happened
02:10I can't remember
02:11You must
02:12This isn't just idle curiosity
02:13This is my family
02:15My babies
02:15Something makes you sure
02:18Absolutely sure
02:19That the phone is going to ring
02:20And they're going to say
02:21It was all a mistake
02:22Or that it was someone else
02:23Or that they've come back to life
02:25Or some such crazy thing
02:27And then you stop
02:31You stop thinking that
02:33And you know
02:34You know they're gone forever
02:38All I have left
02:43Is what happened to them
02:45It was an accident
02:46And there's no such thing
02:47It's always someone's fault
02:49Always
02:50It wasn't mine
02:52Well if it wasn't yours
02:53Then it was Denise's
02:54And I know it wasn't hers
02:55Because she was a very careful driver
02:56The best I knew
02:57And she had the children in the car
02:59Our children
03:00And she would never do anything
03:01To put them in danger
03:02Never!
03:03So you see
03:04It must have been you
03:05Mum
03:06It's OK
03:13All right darling
03:15All right
03:15Stubbs at 22
03:17Melling Road

03:26Who?
03:27Tamsyn Parker?
03:29That's the woman whose car
03:30Hit Mrs O'Connor's

03:32Back at VPU
03:33Clearly not
03:34Check it out yeah?
03:35Yeah
03:36Nothing sweeter
03:39Hello Tom
03:41Go on
03:43Go on upstairs
03:43I had no idea
03:50That you could say
03:51I'm sorry
03:52I'm so sorry
03:53They're all you ever hoped for
03:56Aren't they?
03:57All you ever cared for
03:58You'd never have thought
04:00It was possible
04:00To care for someone so much
04:02All those nights
04:07I've lost sleep
04:08All that
04:08Worry
04:09All that love
04:12Remember to tell him
04:16How much you love him
04:17Won't you?
04:19Remember that?
04:20I do
04:21It's not us to blame
04:26Tamsyn
04:27I don't care
04:29I just have to know
04:34How my children died
04:36Please
04:38You understand
04:42Don't you?
04:43All right
04:53Thanks a lot
04:53Leave it with us
04:54It's a suitless car
04:57Perhaps we'd better call it in
04:59Well I think the inspector
05:01Would want to know
05:01Literally I think I'll phone her
05:05I was driving along
05:11Darrow Road
05:12Going straight ahead
05:13Yes
05:13And she just
05:14Suddenly
05:15She was right there
05:17Right in front of me
05:18She jumped the red lights
05:19No
05:19Denise never did that
05:21She must have
05:22She must have
05:23Or she did
05:23She did
05:25I know she did
05:26But you said
05:27She came out of nowhere
05:28Yes
05:29What?
05:30She was just there
05:31Was she?
05:31One minute she wasn't
05:32And then she was
05:33Yes exactly
05:34That can't happen
05:36Look
05:37Please
05:38I can't help you
05:39Yes you can
05:40Let's go through it
05:41You were driving
05:42Along Darrow Road
05:43Where did you come from?
05:45Thompson Street
05:46And where had you been
05:48Before that?
05:49Here
05:49With Tom
05:50He's had a cold
05:51Long day
05:52Yeah
05:53You know what it's like
05:54Sorry
05:55Where were you going?
05:57Brownies
05:58To pick up
05:59Evie Shipley Street
06:01What about Tom?
06:02With Grace
06:02She's a neighbour
06:03Okay
06:04So you turned out
06:05Of Thompson Street
06:06And I drove along
06:07Darrow Road
06:08Any other traffic?
06:10Probably
06:11I can't remember
06:12Think
06:12A bus
06:16Going the other way
06:18And a car
06:20White
06:21In front
06:21Good
06:22You can remember
06:24If you try
06:25Anything else?
06:28A taxi
06:29I think
06:30Yes
06:30Pulled over to pick someone up
06:32I passed him
06:33Speed?
06:33Not fast
06:34Under 30
06:35What do you drive?
06:37A 4x4
06:37What was the weather like?
06:39Cold
06:39Down
06:40In the car?
06:40Warm
06:41I had the heater on
06:42I had the heater on
06:42To clear the windscreen
06:43Yes
06:44And a coat
06:45That one
06:47Was the radio on?
06:50CD
06:50Of?
06:51One of Tom's
06:52It's always in the car
06:53Kind of kid stuff
06:54Xylophones and things
06:56Boring
06:56Yes
06:57Any other traffic?
06:59No
07:00I passed the taxi
07:01And there was a roundabout
07:03A mini roundabout
07:04Was it busy?
07:04Did you have to give away to anyone?
07:07I don't think
07:08Was anyone else at the roundabout?
07:11Why is it so important?
07:12Because it is
07:13No
07:14No
07:14There was no one
07:15Okay
07:15Half of them
07:16Next was the roadworks
07:18And the lights at the junction
07:19Were they green?
07:21Yes
07:21No
07:21I don't know
07:22But you said Denise jumped the red
07:23So
07:24Look
07:24I don't know
07:25You do know
07:26The only other person who knows is Denise
07:27And she can't tell you
07:28All I remember is a car
07:29Just there
07:30Right in front of me
07:31And I
07:31No
07:32I try and swerve
07:33But I hit it
07:34And there's a screeching sound
07:36And a bang
07:37A huge bang
07:38And the airbag's gone off
07:39And I
07:40I think it was me
07:41But I looked down
07:43And I thought my legs
07:44But it's not me
07:47It's not me
07:48I'm sorry
07:50I can't remember the rest
07:52I think I must have got out of the car
07:55That roundabout is a hundred yards from the scene of the crash
07:58A hundred
07:59You can remember everything up to there
08:01And then you can remember nothing after
08:03How could I?
08:07It was warm
08:08You were tired
08:10You'd had the kids
08:11Tom's been ill keeping you awake
08:13And then that stupid children's music
08:16That children's music over and over again
08:20Oh my god
08:22Say it, Dems
08:23I must have
08:25You fell asleep
08:28You fell asleep at the wheel
08:31And my children are dead
08:34And my family is dead
08:39You fell asleep at my family
08:43My family
08:46My children
08:47My family are dead
08:48You fell asleep at my family
08:50My family is dead
08:51My family is dead
08:52Oh no, no, no
09:04My family is dead
09:05Mrs. Parker! Mrs. Parker!
09:08My family! My children! My family!
09:12You can't see me! My family is dead!
09:15My family! My family! My family!
09:19My family! My family!
09:26My family!
09:28Come on! Come on!
09:30Come on! Adam! Adam!
09:33I can't believe you!
09:35I'm not the back!
09:56You glad to be back?
09:58Well, I feel quite refreshed, I suppose.
10:00I should really be getting on with the backlog.
10:02Well, I've been keeping an hour of things since you've been away.
10:04Susie's working on a tricky public protection unit job at the moment.
10:07Well, I'll get on to that.
10:08No, it's OK. I've got it covered.
10:10Look, you take some time to catch up and settle back in, OK?
10:14OK.
10:18Terry.
10:19Hi.
10:22OK.
10:25OK.
10:26Any news on Margaret?
10:27Hey.
10:28Have you found out anything about the antidepressants that were sent to me in the post?
10:33Oh, yeah. I've traced the source to some dodgy internet company who aren't too bothered about seeing a prescription.
10:38Well, who ordered them? Was it Margaret?
10:40You did.
10:41What?
10:42You were ordered on your credit card.
10:44Someone wanted to make it look like you.
10:46Now, they know that the post is open centrally, so word goes round that you're on antidepressants.
10:51You can work out the rest, right?
10:53But this is insane. How would Margaret know my credit card details?
10:56I have no idea, but I'm going to find out.
11:01Terry!
11:05This woman is trying to make me look unstable.
11:08OK. So don't take any risks.
11:10Any approach that you make to Margaret is going to be the wrong one.
11:12So please, leave it with me.
11:14And don't do anything you're going to regret.
11:16We have no idea what she's capable of.
11:22There are channels, you know, if you want to make a complaint.
11:25I just, I want it all to stop.
11:27I want it never to have happened.
11:29Well, that's understandable.
11:30If it's like this for me.
11:38You OK?
11:39Edwin.
11:40Right, I want you to get back to work. You too, Roger.
11:50You do realise the trouble you could be in?
11:53Am I?
11:55Tamsyn's letting it go.
11:56Look, I can get traffic to take another statement.
11:59And if she admits to losing consciousness, she could be charged.
12:03What's the point?
12:06Well, bring them back.
12:09Um, I think we'll be going now.
12:12Mr. Ikara.
12:13I want to say I'm sorry, but it's not enough, is it?
12:21No, it isn't.
12:26Come on.
12:28Come on.
12:41Do you want me to come with you?
12:42No.
12:43Thanks.
12:44I'm just going to go home and try and rest, I suppose.
12:58Maybe you should stay away from the station for a while.
13:03I thought this was what I wanted, Gina.
13:06It's not what I need to know the truth.
13:09But I was wrong.
13:15It was just something to focus on.
13:19And now I've taken that away.
13:21Anything you need.
13:24Anything.
13:26You just call me.
13:28Day or night.
13:29All right.
13:30It's almost certainly a suicide.
13:43Looks like she took an overdose.
13:45I can't believe it.
13:46I was only with her a few hours ago.
13:47Don't stop blaming yourself, Susie.
13:49Whatever Jodie went through as a kid, that's been locked up for years.
13:52She was doing fine until I turned up and made her remember.
13:55And why did Lynn have to suddenly appear?
13:57Mother's guilt.
13:58I'm not sure whether it was guilt or self-preservation on her part.
14:01Jodie told me that Lynn knew all about the abuse she suffered.
14:04I can't believe I didn't see it!
14:06Why are you taking this so hard?
14:08A girl is dead!
14:10She never had the chance to come to terms with what she'd suffered.
14:12We failed her!
14:13We can't be all-knowing.
14:14Maybe not.
14:15But we don't have to turn our backs when it's staring at us in the face.
14:20I lost Jodie.
14:22But I can still help her sister Kelly.
14:24Kelly's abuse has never been proven.
14:25It's because it was concealed.
14:26Not just by Mike, but by Lynn too.
14:29Just like with Jodie.
14:30I'm not going to let it happen again!
14:31Don't turn this into a crusade, Susie.
14:33Why not?
14:34Sorry.
14:35Hiya, Susie.
14:36Hi, Sarge.
14:37How are you?
14:38Oh, I'm fine.
14:39I'm just, you know, getting back into it.
14:40Well, don't rush yourself.
14:41We've got everything under the control.
14:42Hey, the DI told me about the Mike Harrison case.
14:43And it sounds pretty grim.
14:44Yeah.
14:45Well, I mean, if you ever need any input, you know, I'm hardly inundated.
14:47Thanks, Sarge, but me and the DI have got this one sorted.
14:49Okay.
14:50Oh, Duff.
14:51Yeah.
14:52Oh, Duff.
14:53Yeah.
14:54Duff, could you tell me why all my jobs here seem to be reviewed?
14:56Yeah, I did them.
14:57I thought you want to come back to a clear desk, lighten the load and all that.
14:58No, no, it's not a load.
14:59I'm fine.
15:00Yeah, I know you are.
15:01But I'm fine.
15:02I'm fine.
15:03Yeah, I know you are.
15:04No, I'm fine.
15:05No, I'm fine.
15:06No, I'm fine.
15:07No, I'm fine.
15:08I'm fine.
15:09Don't worry, I'm fine.
15:10No, I'm fine.
15:11No, I'm fine.
15:12No, I'm fine.
15:13No, I'm fine.
15:14No, I'm fine.
15:15No, I'm fine.
15:16No, no, it's not a load.
15:17I'm fine.
15:18Yeah, I know you are.
15:19And you're the first copper I've known to complain about having no work done for her.
15:22Ramini.
15:25You're back.
15:26Nobody said it was today.
15:27Margaret.
15:28Still, why would they?
15:29I'm only the cleaner.
15:30I'm not important around here.
15:31Not like you.
15:32Margaret, about what happened?
15:33I don't want to discuss any of that.
15:35I don't want to get into why I'm sorry is not with you.
15:37You and I, we're above all that.
15:40We are.
15:41Of course.
15:42Remember where I was when we first met?
15:43Look at me now.
15:44Margaret, I don't think it was quite like that.
15:46I wouldn't hold a grudge against you for that.
15:48Not after everything you've done for me.
15:50Well, I'm glad you feel that way about it.
15:53I guess I'll be seeing you around.
15:56I'd like that.
15:59It's great!
16:01You're back!
16:03I'm so sorry, Lynn.
16:08Chloe, it's just hard to...
16:15You must have to deal with this kind of thing all the time.
16:21Not really.
16:22No.
16:23No.
16:24She was such a bright girl.
16:32Very strong wills, you know?
16:33Why did you go and see her when you did?
16:39Is it because you didn't want her to talk to me?
16:42That's ridiculous.
16:43Is it?
16:44Jodie told me some interesting things about her childhood.
16:48Whatever she said, it's not true.
16:51How do you know what she said?
16:54I can't do this now.
16:56Please.
16:57Do you know what she said?
17:00Lynn, you need to talk to someone if you know anything at all.
17:04Whatever your reasons were at the time, how can you walk around with the guilt?
17:09I don't have any guilt.
17:14I don't believe that's true.
17:16I can't do this right now.
17:19Can you just leave me alone?
17:33Well, it was found in Jodie's flat.
17:34That's obviously a suicide note.
17:35Addressed to Kelly, urging her to do something if she's been abused as well.
17:39You've got to get Kelly out of there.
17:42This is circumstantial evidence.
17:43Jodie hasn't seen her family for years.
17:45She didn't know any more than we do.
17:46There's already a no-contact order against her father,
17:48and you did say that Kelly was safe with her mother.
17:51I was wrong, okay?
17:54When I told Lynn about Jodie, she didn't say anything.
17:57I know that Lynn knew Jodie was being abused and did nothing about it.
18:01I want Kelly taken into care now.
18:03Well, I can't okay that.
18:04We'll have to call the case conference.
18:05I'll sort it.
18:06If you'd just give me the warrants to search her mum's house and her dad's bedsit.
18:10Why?
18:11He's been in prison for three years.
18:12Jodie was abused by his friends, not him.
18:16There may be a way of tracing them, a diary or something.
18:20Let me do this for her, please.
18:25Okay.
18:26I'll organise your warrants.
18:28Have you seen Ramony then?
18:41Yeah.
18:42To be honest though, she's a bit awkward with me.
18:44Can't really blame her though, can you?
18:46Nah, it's personal.
18:47I think I'll stay away from her for a few days just if she's on her feet again.
18:51Not very charitable of you.
18:53What's the real story?
18:55Ramony's been really weird with me.
18:58Has she said anything to you about the accident?
19:00No.
19:01I mean, I don't think she did it on purpose if that's what she reckons.
19:05If she asks you, will you make sure she knows that I said that?
19:08Yeah, of course I will.
19:10I'm doing my best to be nice to her.
19:12I'm the one who got injured.
19:14Yeah, give her a chance.
19:15I'm sure she appreciates all the effort you're making.
19:17We all do.
19:18I hope so.
19:19Oh.
19:20Dear.
19:21There you go, love.
19:23It's all right.
19:24Very gentlemanly.
19:25It's part of the job, isn't it?
19:26Being a cop is not just about nicking villains.
19:27It's about being a citizen.
19:28Oh, right.
19:29Oh, yeah.
19:30We've got civic duty.
19:31People look to us to be role models.
19:32I see.
19:33Is that what the oink noises mean?
19:35Well, not everyone, obviously.
19:36Excuse me, officer.
19:37Yes, love.
19:38There's a float down there selling DVDs.
19:39Right.
19:40They're bouncing dodgy, aren't they?
19:41The pirates are just stolen or something.
19:42You should do something about it.
19:43Yeah, but...
19:44I mean, come on.
19:45Don't suffer in silence, Kelly.
19:46It's not worth what it does to you.
19:47It's not worth what it does to you.
19:48It's about being a citizen.
19:49It's about being a citizen.
19:50Oh, right.
19:51Oh, yeah.
19:52We've got civic duty.
19:53People look to us to be role models.
19:54I see.
19:55Is that what the oink noises mean?
19:56Well, not everyone, officer.
19:57Excuse me, officer.
19:58Yes, love.
19:59There's a float down there selling DVDs.
20:00Right.
20:01Don't suffer in silence, Kelly.
20:04It's not worth what it does to you.
20:06I love you.
20:07I'm sorry.
20:08Jodie.
20:09Poor girl.
20:11It's Kelly we need to be worried about right now.
20:14You see, Jodie was being abused by her father's friends at his instigation.
20:19It's likely the same thing was done to Kelly as well before their father went to prison.
20:23We need to get her into care.
20:25Talk to her away from her mum.
20:26There's no solid evidence of abuse within the family.
20:29As far as social services is concerned, her mum provides her with invaluable support,
20:33especially with her dad out of the picture.
20:35You don't understand.
20:36Lynn knew about Jodie being abused.
20:38She was complicit.
20:39Well, we don't know that, DCC.
20:44A girl has already committed suicide.
20:46Do you really want to take that risk?
20:51Okay.
20:52Let's get her into a foster home, but just for a few days.
20:55If you don't find anything, Kelly goes back to her mum.
20:58Fine.
20:59Excuse me.
21:00DC Sim.
21:01You won't leave her name.
21:03I'll be there in a moment.
21:11What did she say to you?
21:12Mr Harrison.
21:13You talked to Jodie, didn't you?
21:14You were the last person she ever spoke to.
21:16Look, let's talk in here.
21:17No.
21:18Right here is fine.
21:19I really don't think it's a good idea.
21:20Tell me what my daughter said.
21:22She said a lot of things.
21:23Some of them were about you.
21:25You believed them all, did you?
21:26Why are you so defensive?
21:27You don't even know what Jodie said.
21:28So tell me.
21:29She said she was abused.
21:30Did you know she wasn't well?
21:32Unless she had a lot of mental problems.
21:34I bet she did.
21:35You had no right to go raking over her past.
21:36Look at what you did.
21:37I didn't do anything.
21:38You did.
21:39You've got no evidence of that.
21:40But you had to drag her out of whatever that was she was hiding.
21:42And now she's dead.
21:43Ask yourself who was really responsible for that.
21:45Oh, don't worry.
21:46I have.
21:47That's enough.
21:48Leave.
21:49Leave now.
21:50What do you mean a foster home?
21:51Why?
21:52A few days.
21:53We have to preserve her.
21:54She's interested at heart.
21:55Come on.
21:56Stay still.
21:57Pump.
21:58Leave her alone.
21:59Stay still.
22:00Kelly, it's all right, my love.
22:01Stay still.
22:02Kelly, it's all right, my love.
22:03Stay still.
22:04I'm sorry.
22:05I'm sorry.
22:06I'm sorry.
22:07I'm sorry.
22:08I'm sorry.
22:09I'm sorry.
22:10I'm sorry.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:13I'm sorry.
22:14I'm sorry, my love.
22:15This is my little girl.
22:16Still.
22:17Don't make this any worse for her.
22:18It already is.
22:19I don't want to go anywhere.
22:20Just let me take a bite to her.
22:21Come on.
22:22I won't go.
22:23Don't let them tell you what to say, sweetheart, or they'll put you in prison.
22:27That's enough.
22:28No.
22:29Lynn, you know that's not true.
22:30Well, let me go with her.
22:31Hold up.
22:32Kelly, it won't be longer.
22:33Come and get you, sweetheart.
22:35I love you.
22:36Lynn.
22:37It's a top-quality, high-grade DVDs.
22:40The last stuff that you find on an ordinary ones.
22:43All right, mate.
22:44Officer.
22:45He's all legit, are they?
22:47Oh, yeah.
22:48As far as I know as, anyways.
22:49How far's that?
22:50Look, I'm just a middle man, yeah?
22:52Hey, it's a classic, that one.
22:54It's about Ben Coppers.
22:56What's your name?
22:57Orson's my nickname.
22:58What's your real name, Orson?
23:00Wells.
23:01Andy Wells.
23:02It's a movie reference.
23:04Orson Wells?
23:05She knows her stuff.
23:06Whatever.
23:07Got invoices for them.
23:08Um, not a sort of null.
23:11Street trader's licence?
23:12It's in the polls.
23:13Oh, is it?
23:14Oh, come on.
23:15I know it's quiet, but...
23:18See you, Oscar.
23:20315.
23:21Mum said prison.
23:24I've got into prison.
23:26Kelly, she didn't mean to say that.
23:28Does this look like a prison?
23:31It's a lovely foster home, and you've got your own room.
23:35You'll be safe here, I promise.
23:38When can I go home?
23:48Kelly.
23:51There's something I need to tell you about your sister.
23:54Jodie?
23:55Yeah.
23:56Yeah.
24:01I'm really sorry.
24:05But Jodie's dead.
24:10No.
24:11No.
24:12I'm sorry, Kelly.
24:13Get away from me!
24:14Why can't I see my mum?
24:15Kelly, wait.
24:18I want my mum!
24:19Why can't I see my mum?
24:21Kelly, I...
24:22I want my mum!
24:23I want my mum!
24:24Kelly, I'm sorry.
24:25I really tried to help Jodie, but I didn't get a chance to.
24:29She was so unhappy.
24:31Why?
24:32She had so much to deal with, and...
24:35Maybe sometimes she was lonely and she didn't have anyone to support her.
24:40Did she try to contact you?
24:42No.
24:43No.
24:44Not since she left.
24:46Well, that's not true.
24:48Jodie told me she sent you lots of letters.
24:52She thought your mum didn't want you to read them.
24:54That she never gave them to you.
24:56Jodie wrote you one final letter before she died.
24:59She really wanted to contact you.
25:00She says how much she loves and misses you.
25:01I didn't understand the part about suffering in silence.
25:02I thought maybe you could...
25:03No.
25:04No.
25:05It's okay for you to tell us anything.
25:07Anything you want.
25:08No.
25:09Where's my mum?
25:10Where's my mum?
25:11I want my mum.
25:12Hey.
25:13You okay?
25:14No.
25:15Come and sit down.
25:16What's wrong?
25:17I bumped into Margaret.
25:18And?
25:19Oh, Terry, I can't believe I didn't realise this before.
25:20What did she say?
25:21I think she's obsessed, didn't I?
25:22She said that I saved her life, that she was a little bit.
25:23I thought maybe you could...
25:24No.
25:25I thought maybe you could...
25:26No.
25:27It's okay for you to tell us anything.
25:28Anything you want.
25:29No.
25:30Where's my mum?
25:31Where's my mum?
25:32I want my mum.
25:33I want my mum.
25:34Hi.
25:35You okay?
25:36No.
25:37Come and sit down.
25:38What's wrong?
25:39I bumped into Margaret.
25:40And?
25:41Oh, Terry, I can't believe I didn't realise this before.
25:42What did she say?
25:43Certainly.
25:44She said that I saved her life, that she was a mess before she'd met me.
25:46She's holding me responsible for absolutely everything.
25:49I mean, Terry, she's deluded.
25:52And this has got nothing to do with her being manic-depressive.
25:54Sounds like some perverse form of hero-worship, doesn't it?
25:57It's exactly what it sounds like.
25:59I think she believes that I'm perfect.
26:01And if she can involve herself, even in some tiny part of my life,
26:04it would make everything fall into place for her.
26:07And it's... it's... it's dangerous ground, and it's obsessive.
26:11Yeah, that fits.
26:12With what?
26:13She's been in your neighbourhood.
26:16I showed her photograph to some of your neighbours.
26:19Some of them recognised her.
26:21Whereabouts?
26:22The grocery store on Dunford Street.
26:24That's my local 24-hour shop.
26:25Yeah, but it's not local to Margaret.
26:27Also, the laundromat across the street.
26:29What is she doing?
26:31Dragging her laundry across the borough to where I live?
26:34She's not.
26:35She's come in empty-handed.
26:36She's just sat there.
26:37This is stalking, Terry.
26:38She's stalking me.
26:39Looks that way, doesn't it?
26:40What about these antidepressants?
26:41I mean, it's driving you around the bend.
26:43I mean, if... if she wants to convince people that I'm losing it,
26:46she's... she's beginning to succeed.
26:48Leave it with me.
26:49I'll get something on her.
26:52I'll sort it out for you.
26:53You know I was watching her.
26:56Now it's got to the point where I found myself outside her flat the other day.
26:59You're what?
27:01I...
27:02I just...
27:03I just...
27:04I just...
27:05I just wanted to make sure that she wasn't following me.
27:08Is that crazy?
27:09It isn't very smart.
27:11No.
27:12You need to give me some time.
27:14And let me sort this out, okay?
27:16It's not okay, dear.
27:17I mean, how long is it gonna take before she convinces everybody that I'm completely incapable of doing my job?
27:23No one believes that.
27:24After the accident with Margaret, it was suggested that I take some time off.
27:28Everybody thinks so, Terry.
27:31She's... she's making everybody believe that I'm unstable.
27:34Look, we can all save ourselves a lot of property.
27:39Oh, yeah.
27:40If I tell you where I got these from, can we call it quits?
27:49What do you reckon?
27:51Well, if he's dumb enough to think we'll go for it.
27:53Why not?
27:57Go on.
27:58As long as you keep my name out of it.
28:00A woman called Jane Chisholm.
28:0255 Mallon Street, Bottom Flat.
28:04Where she gets them from...
28:05I've got no idea.
28:06Right.
28:07In you go.
28:08Here, hang on.
28:09I thought we had a deal.
28:10You must think I was born yesterday.
28:12Maybe.
28:15Where were these found?
28:16Mike Harrison's bedsit.
28:17All written to him in prison.
28:19All from the same woman.
28:20Alice?
28:21Yep.
28:22Just Alice.
28:23No return address.
28:24Clearly love letters.
28:25Very passionate love letters.
28:26Not much reading between the lines required.
28:27Was there anything else?
28:28An address book?
28:29Any clue to who this Alice might be?
28:31No, but if there is another woman, it would explain why Lynn's happy to have a no-contact order against Mike.
28:35It's a possibility, I suppose.
28:37How's Kelly?
28:38She's lost a big sister and been taken into care.
28:42How do you feel?
28:44Social services are right, Susie.
28:46If there's nothing more, we can't keep her away from her mum, especially not after the news she's just had.
28:50I want Kelly to have a physical examination.
28:53Well, that's the only way we're going to know for sure.
28:56I hate to put her through it, but I don't think there's any other way.
29:03Okay.
29:04Set it up.
29:05Keep me informed.
29:06Where is she?
29:07Where's Kelly?
29:08She's fine.
29:09She's been cared for.
29:10Why are you trying to destroy my family?
29:11I'm trying to protect them.
29:12You just took my little girl away.
29:13I love her.
29:14Do you not understand that?
29:15I love her.
29:16Lynn, go home.
29:17As soon as we have any news, I promise I will call you.
29:19All right?
29:20Do you know anyone called Alice?
29:22No.
29:23I just found a lot of letters written to your husband while he was imprisoned by someone of
29:26that name.
29:28I thought you might know.
29:29What's that?
29:30Do you know anyone called Alice?
29:34No.
29:35You just found a lot of letters written to your husband while he was imprisoned by someone
29:39of that name.
29:40I thought you might know-
29:42I don't know what you're saying.
29:43You don't know what you're saying.
29:44Why are you not doing?
29:45Why are you trying to destroy my family?
29:46I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know any Alice.
29:52Go home, Lynn.
29:58Why do I have to go to doctors?
30:01So that we can be sure.
30:04About what?
30:06That no-one's hurting you.
30:16Jodie told me some people hurt her when she was younger.
30:22Some friends of your dad's.
30:24And I thought the same thing might be happening to you.
30:28Well, I don't know what you mean.
30:30I could come to the doctors with you if you want.
30:33And be there the whole time.
30:35Would that be better?
30:37Would it?
30:40Okay.
30:46Don't tell me.
30:47All someone else is making his comeback a bit.
30:50That's a bird he ticked us off about him.
30:52Now that is what I call cheeky.
30:54That's what I call being had.
30:56You're a movie buff as well, are you?
30:58Yeah.
31:00How come you wanted us to nick that lad earlier?
31:02On your pitch, was he?
31:03Alright, look. These aren't mine, honest.
31:05This is the first time I've done this, I swear.
31:07But there's literally boxes of these at my flat.
31:09And I'm a bit strapped.
31:11Oh, come on.
31:12No, really.
31:13Listen, what about a deal?
31:14You let me go and I'll tell you these for long time.
31:15Let me guess.
31:17Orson Welles.
31:19His career in movies is on hold at the moment,
31:21till we bail him.
31:22Come on, Jane.
31:23What's the story?
31:24I was going out with him.
31:25Was?
31:26He dumped me.
31:27So you thought you'd get your own back on him
31:28by selling his DVDs and getting him nicked into the bar?
31:31Hell, I have no fury.
31:33I just wanted to see the look on his face
31:34when he came round for his gear and it was all gone.
31:37He deserves it.
31:38Deserves what?
31:39All you've managed to do is get yourself in trouble.
31:41He dumped me.
31:42And then left all his junk at my place
31:43like I'm some cheap storage.
31:45You're treating me really badly.
31:46The thing is,
31:47we can't actually do anything about that.
31:48But what we can do is sell and count if it gets.
31:50And we can do you for it as well.
31:52Want me to call for transport again?
31:54If you'd be so kind.
31:58The doctor's with Kelly right now
31:59and she's going to fax me her report as soon as she's done.
32:02Okay.
32:03I'll be right about this.
32:04I hope so, too.
32:05So she consented, did she, to the examination?
32:10Yeah.
32:11What, you didn't have to twist her arm?
32:13If you're wrong, Susie, you're about to put a child through something almost as bad as being abused.
32:20Now, I hope you're happy about that.
32:21Do you think I'm making her do this for fun, Terry?
32:23What are you implying?
32:24You think she was abused.
32:25And as you said to the DI earlier, you hope you're right.
32:28I'll make the decisions about this case.
32:30And I'll stand by them whatever the outcome.
32:32I don't need your tuppence worth!
32:34What's going on?
32:35Hey?
32:37DC Sim.
32:46What did he just say to you?
32:51Nothing you shouldn't have.
32:53I think it's his head off.
32:55So?
32:56Gov, I got it wrong about Lynn Harrison.
32:58I thought she was protecting her daughter.
33:00What if I'm wrong about Kelly?
33:02What then?
33:04Maybe I should step back and let somebody else look after her.
33:07In here.
33:12Okay.
33:14Where's Kelly Harrison?
33:15Right now.
33:16I told you she's at the doctor's being examined.
33:17Yeah.
33:18Because you sent her there and you're going to be there for her when she gets back.
33:20What if I'm not the right person to be there for her?
33:22No one else is.
33:23It's your job.
33:24Your responsibility, Susie.
33:25No one's going to take over from you, okay?
33:27Okay.
33:28Good.
33:29I want to see those medical examination notes as soon as they come through.
33:42Ramani!
33:43I've been looking for you.
33:45Why is that, Margaret?
33:46I got you some of that Sri Lankan tea, you love.
33:49I thought you must be running a bit low by now.
33:51Nightmare to find, though.
33:52The only place I could get it was that grocery shop near you.
33:55But you don't live anywhere near me, do you know?
33:58No.
33:59I don't.
34:01But it was no bother.
34:02Can I just say something?
34:04This has to stop going out of your way like this.
34:07It's not normal.
34:08I just wanted to do something nice for you.
34:12You've done all those things for me.
34:14That's my job, Margaret.
34:15You were in distress.
34:16That's what I do.
34:17No.
34:18I know it was more than your job.
34:19You were the one that taught me into getting help and into making myself better.
34:22Do you think you're better now?
34:23Do you?
34:24Yes, I don't.
34:25I think you've developed an unhealthy attachment to me, and I think you should see your doctor
34:29a better.
34:30I'm fine.
34:31No, I think you think you are fine, but perhaps you can't judge.
34:35And the best thing that you can do is take yourself back to the hospital.
34:40No, I don't need to go to the hospital.
34:42I'm all right now.
34:43Why are you pushing me away like this?
34:45There's nothing more I can do for you.
34:47I can't help you, Margaret.
34:49You've got to take yourself back to your doctor.
34:52I'm sorry.
34:53Excuse me.
35:08Hello, DC Sim.
35:11Right now?
35:14It's coming through right now.
35:16All right.
35:19Gov.
35:20Gov, I got it.
35:21The results of Kelly Harrison's medical examination.
35:22What do you want to do?
35:23I think I'd better go and see her.
35:24You find anything in Mike's letters?
35:25Nothing.
35:26Susie.
35:27You okay?
35:28I'm a bit better.
35:29I'm a bit better.
35:30I'm a bit better.
35:31Kelly, I know.
35:32I'm a bit better.
35:33I'm a bit better.
35:34I'm a bit better.
35:35Kelly, I know I'm the last person in the world you want to see now, but I hope you'll
35:38hear me out.
35:39do. I think I better go and see her. You find anything in Mike's letters? Nothing. Susie,
35:44you okay? Being better. Kelly, I know I'm the last person in the world you want to see now,
35:56but I hope you'll hear me out. When I went to see Jodie, she told me about things that happened
36:03to her when she was a little girl, younger than you are now. She'd never told anyone about
36:10them before until I asked her. Jodie was scared to tell anyone what happened because she thought
36:16no one would believe her and she'd get into trouble. She was also very ashamed, very ashamed
36:25of those things. It wasn't her fault, but she didn't understand that. Do you understand
36:31that? What do you mean? Do you understand that it was never her fault, even if people said
36:37it was? That's why she left home, Kelly. She needed to get away from where it was happening,
36:42not because she didn't love you or care about you. And I needed to know whether those things
36:49had been happening to you as well. That's why I asked the doctor to have a look at you,
36:53to know. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope you believe me. Kelly, the doctor said
37:13those same things have been happening to you. Did they? Please leave me alone. I know
37:21it's hard, Kelly. This is probably the hardest thing you've ever had to do. Did mum and dad
37:26tell you not to say anything? They want you to feel like this. They want you to feel guilty
37:34about it and afraid to talk to me just like Jodie was. And all that means is that those things
37:39will go on happening. No. It's all right, Kelly. I don't want to. Don't want to what?
37:46Go back there. Go back where? Home. I don't want to go back home. Can you tell me why?
38:01Mum and dad's friends. They come over. They want to spend time with me in my bedroom.
38:09What happens when they go to your bedroom? Who hurt me? I'm like Jodie. It's just like
38:20Jodie's in.
38:21I'm like Jodie's in.
38:27And then I'm like Jodie's in.'
38:37Well, I mean I'm going to wear something new. I've again. I'm going to make it my
38:40breath. I'm ready to wash this my bedroom down. I need you all. I need you going
38:46to be able to wash this with me. What is it? I need you ready for it. I need you wet
38:56your dad left, is that right? But they were still his friends? No. They were our mum's.
39:10When did they stop coming, Kelly? They didn't stop, did they? Kelly, did your mum tell you
39:24why she was bringing them to see you? She said because she loved me. Who's Alice? Does
39:39the name Alice mean anything to you? The girl in the book. What book? Alice in Wonderland.
39:49Oh. It's mum's favourite book. She was always reading it to us. It's what dad used to call
39:58her. Alice. Kelly, I need to go for a little bit. But I promise I'll be back really soon.
40:08OK?
40:15Gov, it's me. I'm with Kelly and she's told me everything. Listen, we need to bring Lynn and
40:30make Harrison in now. Lynn, I'd like you to read this. For the tape, I am showing Mrs.
40:37Harrison a copy of the notes of the medical examination on Kelly Harrison. I never touched
40:42her. Who did? No, I... Read the report, Lynn. All they did was play with her in the room.
40:53Play with her? Play with her? Lynn, your daughter was repeatedly sexually abused by men over a
41:00period of... How long? Years? I don't know. Yes, you do. Kelly was raped by your friends,
41:08by people you brought home and encouraged to rape her. Mike, it was Mike. What did Mike do?
41:18He liked them. He said it was good. He said it was a way of showing how much we loved them.
41:25Did you believe him? Well, I... Well, yes, I suppose. But you knew it was wrong?
41:35It wasn't like that. You see, the thing about Mike is he's not afraid of anything. And I'm
41:44not afraid of anything when I'm with him. It all goes away. The fear. Fear of what?
41:51Of everything. Can you imagine what that's like? To not be frightened of anything. He
41:58can do that. I think Kelly's really lucky to have a dad like him. Don't you think?
42:05But you knew it was wrong, didn't you, Lynn? Why didn't you stop? What? When Mike was
42:15in prison, you could have made it stop. Why didn't you stop? They just kept coming round
42:21and... No. Kelly said they were your friends, Lynn, not Mike's. You brought them round.
42:28Some of them, yes. All the time Mike was in prison? When was the last time? When? I don't know. Maybe last week.
42:51Do you see Sim? Yep. Okay. Why? Well, with that, Mike, I was afraid again. And it just kept happening. And I... I couldn't stop it.
43:11Yes, you could. You could have told someone you could have called us. You suspended 1955. Yes, yes, I know. Get in there.
43:18This is Sim. What do you think you're doing? I'm sorry, Guff, but I just can't take all that victim crap.
43:24Yeah, well, you're probably right, but that's not the way to do it. We are not going to get all the answers today.
43:27We might, if we ask all the questions. No, forget it. We've taken this as far as we can.
43:32That is one messed up all they do. It's going to take years for the shrinks to unravel what's going on in her head.
43:36You know she's just going to hide behind Mike and get the brief to make out that she was led astray.
43:41Fine. It doesn't matter. Why? Because she's in there and Kelly's in a foster home. That's all that matters, Susie.
43:46But I... I thought Kelly was safe with her. So what are you going to do? Beat her up or beat yourself up?
43:57Both. You're fallible, like the rest of us. Get used to it. Susie, you stuck with this. You got Kelly out. That's the only thing you can let yourself focus on.
44:05I can't.
44:07Learn to. It's part of the job.
44:19How is she?
44:20Laying the victim.
44:21Talking about the girl, not the mother.
44:22You know how she is.
44:24Yeah, I do.
44:26Listen, um, that thing earlier. Well, sometimes I get a little bit...
44:30Anyway, I'm sorry.
44:32I know. I'm sorry, too.
44:34Okay.
44:35Oh, Gov. Any answers?
44:37Yeah, she's naming names.
44:38That's great.
44:39You did good, Susie. If these check out, you've got a major result.
44:43Small comfort, eh?
44:44Susie, you've got good instincts. I trust them. You should, too.
44:48Thanks for your support.
44:51Okay.
44:52So what was that, then? Some sort of Greek CID hug, was it?
44:57The DI's been a rock, and this has given me nothing but encouragement.
45:00Yeah, so that's the song he's singing this week, is it?
45:02I trust you to be cynical.
45:03That's not cynicism. That's realism.
45:05Meaning?
45:06Meaning that the DI has read his tea leaves, hasn't he?
45:09DCI, where I was, left him standing and made him realise the benefit of team effort.
45:13That's a good thing, isn't it?
45:15You're a smart girl, Susie. Don't let him get to you.
45:20Hi, how are you doing?
45:22Oh, uh, yes, fine, thank you. I spoke to Margaret.
45:26I told her how I felt, and I told her that she needed to get help.
45:30Good.
45:31I mean, the point is that I was letting her think that she could control me,
45:34which is sort of stressing me out.
45:35Mm.
45:36But I think I've worked out how to handle her, and I just feel so much better.
45:40That's good news.
45:41I was worried that I was going to lose a level heliconic there for a bit.
45:44It looked like a possibility, didn't it?
45:45Yes, De Costa.
45:46Yes.
45:47DI Cronin, Barton Street CID. Can I have a word, please?
45:52Sure. Can I help you with something?
45:54That's not help, exactly, I'm afraid.
45:56Remind the Custer, I'm arresting you for harassment.
45:58You what?
45:59You do not have to say anything.
46:00She may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something
46:03which you later rely on in court.
46:04What's going on?
46:05Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
46:13Next time on The Bill...
46:15Margaret Barnes has been harassing me.
46:18But considering all the evidence, it looks very much like you've been harassing her.
46:21I don't know whether this is some sick joke.
46:24I don't know anything anymore.
46:25Ew!
46:26Okay, put the knives down.
46:28What's going on?
46:29What's going on?
46:30What's going on?
46:31What does that mean?
46:32Up and down?
46:33What does that mean?
46:34First time.
