01:33That's it.
01:34Right.
01:35You can have these.
01:36We'll hold on to this.
01:36Do you want your money?
01:37£3.82.
01:39I can't spend it, can I?
01:41Stan?
01:42Sarge?
01:42D&D with a trough.
01:44Sarge?
01:44You want a solicitor?
01:46You want to make a phone call?
01:49You want us to inform anyone you hear?
01:50Yeah.
01:54Sign it.
02:05Can I have something to eat?
02:07No.
02:08Canteen's closed till late in the morning.
02:18What's wrong with this, poor?
02:26Oh, Jesus.
02:29Oh, for Christ's sake.
02:32Sarge!
02:33Get the sergeant!
02:34Me?
02:34Yes!
02:43Son himself.
02:44I think he's dead.
02:46Nothing.
02:46Go and get Inspector Rooney.
02:48Tell Diego and the Colin Abilies.
02:49So, dilly boy, you're not denying the three deals a crack you had in your mouth?
03:13I can't, can I?
03:15I'm sorry, sir.
03:16Just a minute.
03:17I think you'd better come, sir.
03:18What is it?
03:19Just come, sir, please.
03:22This better be good.
03:26This interview is temporarily suspended at midnight, 50 p.m.
03:31A.m.
03:42Oh, shit.
03:44Topped himself.
03:45Oh, you stupid sod.
03:53I'll get it.
03:54Is the doctor here?
03:56Yes, the FME.
03:57I mean, Smith.
03:58Nobody's left.
03:59No, sir.
04:00No, sir.
04:01No, sir.
04:02Life extincto, 118 hours.
04:04Cause of death?
04:05Probably strangulation.
04:06Any marks on the body?
04:07Nothing on the body.
04:08Nothing on the body.
04:09I'll get it.
04:10I'll get it.
04:11I'll get it.
04:12I'll get it.
04:13I'll get it.
04:14he'll get it.
04:16I'll get it.
04:16Okay.
04:20Is the doctor here?
04:21Yes, the FME.
04:22I mean, Smith.
04:23Nobody's left?
04:23No, sir.
04:28Life extincto, 118 hours.
04:30Cause of death?
04:31Probably strangulation.
04:33Any marks on the body?
04:35Nothing obvious.
04:37Thanks, Doctor.
04:44Sir, this is Superintendent Clark, CID.
04:47Chief Superintendent Lyon, Divisional Commander.
04:49You've met Inspector Rooney. We're all yours.
04:51Thank you, sir. And the kid?
04:53Joseph Pierce, aged 18, possession of controlled drug.
04:56He was found hanging from the door by his belt.
04:59Was he in the cell?
05:00Yes, sir. He's out of it. Smack or crack or something.
05:04Anyone talk to him?
05:05No. Has he said anything?
05:07Nothing intelligible.
05:08Right. I'd like you both to go with Inspector Maynard.
05:15Sort out the duty state.
05:16Get details of everyone who's been in the custody area since the kid was brought in.
05:20Get the custody records. Call Socko. Get a photographer in from SO3.
05:24Close the custody suite. Don't let anyone leave the station.
05:27Corridor in the cell or a sterile area.
05:30Oh, yeah.
05:30All right. All right. All right.
05:40All right. All right.
05:43What's your name?
05:44Ruby.
05:46Hello, sir.
05:47Hi, Maureen. Stay there. It's a sterile area.
05:49Make sure he stays where he is until seeing a crime scare.
06:09Thank you, gentlemen. Who found the boy?
06:11Me, sir. PC Forford.
06:13You the jailer?
06:14Yes, sir.
06:14Okay. I'll take a statement from you first. Is there an interview room?
06:17Yes, sir. Just down the corridor.
06:18Pierce was arrested with another lad who's in there at the moment with his solicitor.
06:22Do you have a canteen?
06:23Yes, sir.
06:24Okay. Everyone can wait up there.
06:25I'm going to have to ask you all to stay. It could be a long night, so please be patient.
06:29Can we inform the boy's parents?
06:30Yeah, but they can't come in until Socko have finished it.
06:33I understand.
06:35What about the other prisoners?
06:36We'll find somewhere else for them.
06:37But again, no-one can leave until Socko have been. For now, this is the scene of a crime.
06:42Um, if you're happy, sir, you can go now.
06:44Thanks. I'll just finish book 83. I'll fax you a full report in the morning.
06:48Yeah, will you include your observations about the other bloke in the cell?
06:52Um, on second thoughts, I would like the arresting officer...
06:55Officers, gov.
06:58Arresting officers and the custody sergeant to wait in here.
07:01No-one is to change clothes or wash until Socko have had a chance to do you over, okay?
07:06Everybody else up to the canteen. You're on.
07:19Why don't you come up to bed?
07:24Aless, the boy's 18.
07:27I know.
07:29I don't mind. It's a good film.
07:32I won't sleep till he gets in, so I might as well stay up.
07:36You're not worried, are you?
07:51The boy is 18.
07:55PC Peacock will show you to the canteen.
07:57Thank you, Inspector.
08:13All right, um, excuse me, this is a witness statement.
08:18You're not a suspect, but if you want a solicitor or a federation rep to be present, you have that right.
08:22Do you understand?
08:23Uh, yes, sir.
08:25Um, I don't think I'll need anyone.
08:26Are you sure?
08:39Mrs. Pearce?
08:41May we have a word?
08:42You found him at 0040.
08:55You last checked on him at five past midnight, which is in the custody record.
08:59You put him in the drunk cell, known by you as the trough.
09:02Well, yeah, I mean...
09:03Look, I'm not implying anything.
09:05I'm just sorting out details.
09:06Is what I've said correct?
09:08Yes, sir.
09:09And he showed no signs of being suicidal or disturbed in any way.
09:12No, sir.
09:13He was...
09:14Come.
09:16Excuse me, sir.
09:17Sock, are we here?
09:18Thank you, Inspector.
09:19I'll finish with PC Forford.
09:21Hello, Don.
09:28Hello, Dan.
09:29All right, we'll do this in three stages.
09:31First, I want you to take samples from the hands and clothing of these enemies.
09:34With your permission, gentlemen.
09:36Right, then.
09:37If you wouldn't mind.
09:40Do you think we'd be better just taking the top layer of clothing?
09:43Probably be safer.
09:45In the shoes.
09:45When you've done this, we'll do the corridor.
09:47Then we can finish off in the cell and get the other prisoners moved.
09:50All right.
09:51All right, can I start snapping, sir?
09:52Yeah, don't touch anything.
09:54Inspector, can you find some clothes for these gentlemen, please?
09:57Sergeant McCormack, I want to talk to you next, all right?
10:02I think he's enjoying himself.
10:04No laws against enjoying your work, especially when you're good at it.
10:17He hasn't bunched.
10:18How old was he, Gov?
10:2218.
10:22Junkie?
10:24I know.
10:25Is he involved?
10:27Well, we're getting through the case, Lodge.
10:29Hmm.
10:31Interesting.
10:31No attempt to resist arrest.
10:50No struggle, no fuss.
10:51No, sir.
10:52All very quiet.
10:53Detention authorised to obtain further evidence by questioning.
10:58He was aware of this?
10:59Sir.
11:01So no call for a solicitor?
11:03Phone call?
11:04All that?
11:05No, sir.
11:06Would you call that odd?
11:09No, sir.
11:12The bell?
11:14The boy was calm.
11:16Did you ask him how he was?
11:19No, sir.
11:20He just seemed okay.
11:21He was in for possession of more than 500 quid's worth of crack, and he was calm.
11:26Well, maybe not calm.
11:28I don't really remember his mood.
11:30I was just aware that it didn't seem like, well, a suicidal.
11:35The hatch.
11:40The door hatches are meant to be closed, is that right?
11:44Yes, sir.
11:45But when it's hot.
11:46But it isn't.
11:47Yeah, well, what I'm saying is it's informal.
11:52Sometimes they ask us to leave them open for ventilation.
11:55But it's not hot.
11:57I know, but if it's all right when it's hot, I don't see why it isn't when it's not.
12:01Did you see?
12:03Anyway, sometimes a prisoner's been in the catchy, so they won't close.
12:07And you've reported that, have you, to get them mended?
12:09I, uh, I'm not sure.
12:15You're not sure if you've reported the bent catches?
12:24Maybe verbally.
12:28Maybe verbally.
12:39I was with Dilly in the custody area.
12:49I saw Pierce come back there after his interview.
12:52How was Pierce?
12:53Quiet.
12:54Very shaken, I'd say.
12:55When I went with Dilly into his interview, I asked D.I. Gordon if I could speak to Pierce.
13:00I was surprised he didn't have a solicitor.
13:02That was some stash he had in him.
13:04What did Gordon say?
13:05He sent a mailist to ask Pierce.
13:08And?
13:09The message I got back was he didn't want to speak to you.
13:11Did you know, Pierce?
13:12No.
13:13Dilly?
13:14Oh, yes.
13:19Now, clear that asylum for him next door.
13:23We're taking samples from him.
13:24Checked him over.
13:25Yeah.
13:25Governor Meatwagon's arrived, and Rooney wants to know if he can move the prisoners up the road.
13:29You're taking statements from him?
13:31Yeah, someone heard a scuffle when they found him, and someone else heard some shouting earlier on.
13:35What time?
13:36About midnight.
13:37Okay, tell Rooney you can wait him out.
13:39Yeah, right.
13:44Hello.
13:45Hello.
13:46Superintendent Clark.
13:47Yeah?
13:47I'm PC Hamilton, coroner's officer.
13:49Oh, right, yeah.
13:50Uh, we've finished with the body.
13:52Do you think you can get it to the morgue for us?
13:53That's what I'm here for.
13:54Thanks.
13:54Thanks.
14:00Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, this is Superintendent Clark and Sergeant Connell from the Complaints Investigation Bureau.
14:07They will be handling this matter.
14:10These are Joseph's personal effects.
14:14Oh, God.
14:21Oh, God.
14:23I'm very sorry, Mr. Pierce.
14:24We're doing what we can to find out what happened.
14:26And when you think you can cope with it, maybe in a day or two, I'd like to talk to you about Joseph.
14:31Joey? Nobody calls him Joseph.
14:35Sorry, Joey.
14:36Can we see him now, please?
14:37I'm afraid not until tomorrow. Later today.
14:41Our son has never been in any trouble. He shouldn't have been in here.
14:48All right, mate?
14:50Yes.
14:52Cheese and tomato.
14:53Yeah, cheese and tomato, mate.
14:55Ham and anchovy.
14:56That's it for you.
14:57And one pepperoni.
14:59You'll have to put that in your cabinet, mate.
15:00All right, mate.
15:01See you.
15:02See you later.
15:02I'll see you later.
15:08Not out of ten for sensitive timing.
15:35Sorry.
15:38My little boy.
15:45My little boy.
15:51If I had a quid for every mother who said her kid was innocent, I'd retire.
15:55You caught him red-handed with a tin of crack on it.
15:57It was in the side pocket of his jacket.
16:00My guess was he was supplying Dilly.
16:02Dilly was known to you, is that right?
16:04Oh, yeah.
16:05He's a bad lot.
16:07He's gone from nicking bikes to shoplifting.
16:09Bit of ABH along the way.
16:11And for the last couple of years, he's been dealing.
16:13Has he been put away?
16:14No.
16:15He's too slippery.
16:17Knows his rights.
16:18Knows his solicitor.
16:19And this time?
16:20No.
16:21We don't have enough to do.
16:23The other kid, yes.
16:25But not Dilly.
16:26We've been watching him off and on for a couple of weeks.
16:29Why do you think he didn't want a solicitor?
16:31I don't know.
16:32Maybe he thought he could just face it out.
16:34Why do you think he topped himself?
16:36Are you sure he did?
16:38I know it's not that unusual, but I mean, there's someone else in the cell.
16:42Do you think he was murdered by Ruby?
16:44That's possible.
16:45Yeah.
16:46Um, well, assuming it was suicide, can you think why?
16:51Afraid of his bosses, I suppose.
16:53These are dangerous people.
16:55But you say he hadn't told you anything.
16:57I got the feeling he might crack.
16:59Wasn't too cocky in the interview.
17:01Did you rough him up?
17:02Of course not.
17:03Intimidating?
17:04No.
17:05I put pressure on him.
17:07I told him he was in this shit.
17:09Well, you'll hear it when you listen to the tape.
17:12Yeah.
17:14The point is that someone's committed suicide.
17:17If you're saying he was beaten up, it's important.
17:20Who'd believe me?
17:21A lot of people know, come on, just tell me the truth.
17:23Was he or you roughed up?
17:24Right, roughly treated.
17:25Well, can't you be more specific?
17:27Like I say, a jab here, a shove, you know.
17:29Yeah, but where?
17:30When?
17:35Look, if you want to make an official complaint, you know, I can arrange an interview.
17:38Is that what you want, Dilly?
17:44It's a very simple question.
17:47Did you see D.I. Gordon take the tin from Pierce's pocket?
17:52As I say, I was frisking Dilly at the time.
17:55Yes or no?
17:58No, but I did see...
17:59Was there any rough stuff?
18:02No.
18:03Nothing?
18:04No.
18:05What did Pierce say?
18:06It's there in my incident report book.
18:19He denied knowledge of the tin.
18:23How was Pierce's behaviour?
18:25When?
18:28When you arrested him, when you brought him in.
18:31Was he quiet, cocky, argumentative?
18:36Quiet?
18:37Well, he knew we had him, didn't he?
18:42The solicitor asked you to talk to Pierce to see if he wanted to have a chat with her.
18:46Mm-hm.
18:48Did you?
18:49Mm-hm.
18:50He said no.
18:51There's no mention of this visit in your IRB or, as far as I can remember, in the custody record.
18:55Are you sure you spoke to him?
18:57Yes.
18:58I did speak to him.
18:59About the solicitor?
19:00Mm-hm.
19:01So why no mention in the custody record?
19:03Well, I was only in there for a second.
19:05You went into the cell?
19:07Yeah.
19:09With Sergeant McCormack or PC Forford?
19:13I don't think so.
19:15Yes or no?
19:16No.
19:18Were they aware of your visit?
19:22I don't know.
19:24Did you ask them?
19:26No, they were busy.
19:33Did you notice if Ruby was awake?
19:37I think it was.
19:39Was D.I. Gordon alone with Pierce at any time?
19:42Hmm.
19:45I don't know.
19:50Think about it, will you?
19:56That's all.
20:12You see, Forford, can I have a quick word?
20:27One little thing, a prisoner heard shouting just before midnight.
20:30You only idea what that could have been?
20:34Oh, it must have been me.
20:36You see, when I took Pierce back after his interview and put him in the trough, Ruby was pissing on his feet.
20:43Pierce's?
20:44No, no, his own.
20:45Well, I shouted at him to stop, but he was too far gone, so I left him.
20:48And Pierce?
20:49Yeah.
20:50Was he sitting or standing?
20:52Uh, standing.
20:53Ruby had the bench.
20:54Okay, thanks.
20:56Thanks very much for your patience, everyone.
20:57You can go now.
20:58Will you leave a contact number with Inspector Naylor?
21:01Do you want a solicitor?
21:13Phone call?
21:15Do you want anyone told that you're here?
21:31Phone call?
21:32Phone call?
21:33Phone call.
21:34Phone call.
21:35Phone call.
21:36Phone call.
21:37Sign that.
21:58What do you reckon, then, Gov?
22:00What do you reckon, then, Gov?
22:03I think he was fitted up by Gordon, beaten up by Fulford,
22:05Mellis, and McCormack, was in love with a solicitor,
22:08and was finally strangled by Ruby.
22:09He was actually a member of the KGB.
22:12Well, we're agreed on that, then.
22:30Five, two, three, nine, this is your early morning call.
22:54Oh, I like having separate places.
23:13Why?
23:16I see more of you now. It's like having a lover again.
23:20Lucky I wasn't here, or they wouldn't have been able to call me.
23:23Then they'd have had my bollocks.
23:26I can't have those. They're mine, aren't they?
23:30Hmm.
23:31Hmm.
23:32Hmm.
23:33This place is busy for a Saturday.
23:38Huxtable and Deacon's cars are outside. I've just seen Graves come.
23:45Clark?
23:46Shh! He's asleep, sir.
23:47What do you want?
23:48Somebody's broken into my desk.
23:49Can you steal your tuck box?
23:50And rifled through the Carswell file.
23:51Meaning?
23:52Meaning, do you know anything about it?
23:55Meaning?
23:56Meaning somebody's been looking through the Jenny Dean file.
24:02Get off me!
24:03I'll have you for assault!
24:04Oh, shut up!
24:05You prat!
24:06Oh, shut up!
24:07You prat!
24:08What the hell's all this?
24:09What the hell's all this?
24:10Superintendent Graves has an allegation.
24:11I'll have you for assault!
24:12Oh, shut up!
24:13You prat!
24:14What the hell's all this?
24:15Superintendent Graves has an allegation to make, sir.
24:16What about?
24:17Look, don't piss me about you two. I'm in no mood for it.
24:18I'm not making it.
24:19No.
24:20No.
24:21No.
24:22No.
24:23No.
24:24No.
24:25No.
24:26No.
24:27No.
24:28No.
24:29No.
24:30No.
24:31No.
24:32No.
24:33No.
24:34No.
24:35No.
24:36No.
24:37No.
24:38No.
24:39No.
24:40No.
24:41No.
24:42No.
24:43No.
24:44No.
24:45any allegations. Good. We can all go back to work then. It's just that my desk was broken into last
24:49night, sir. Really? Yes, sir. And the Carswell file, which includes the WPC Dean file, is being
24:55gone over. Which includes the WPC Dean file? You see, sir, now call me oversensitive, but I get the
25:01impression that he is implying something. He comes into my office, not yours, sir, not Fisher's, not
25:06Stephen's, my office, and he asks me if I know anything about it. Graves. Coincidence? You went
25:12next door. Well, that's cleared that up, then. Graves, get me those files. It's time I look
25:15at them anyway. Right, sir. Clark, shut that door. Sit down. I don't like behaviour like
25:32that, not from either of you. It's playground stuff. Yes, sir. But what really concerns me
25:38is that you are screwing up, literally screwing up a promising career by openly associating
25:43with a succession of different women. Now, you are aware, partly as a matter of security
25:48and discipline, but also as a factor in your housing allowance, that you are expected to
25:53apply to your senior officer for permission to go habit. Yes, sir. I've received no such
25:58request from you. No, sir. Why? Because I live alone, sir, in my own flat. As you'll be able to tell
26:06from the duty log, I was called there at 1 o'clock this morning. I've looked at the log. You've
26:11had five different addresses in the last six weeks. Well, now I have a flat, sir. And Jennifer
26:17Dean? She has a flat, I believe. She is a witness, perhaps even a suspect, in a very serious case
26:25under investigation by this department. Yes, sir.
26:32All right. Thank you, sir.
26:44Wanker. Morning. Morning, sir. WPC Grant's interview at 10 o'clock.
26:50Oh, yeah. Um, Maureen, do you think you could get them some coffee for 10 minutes or so?
26:55Certainly, sir. Through here, please.
27:00Harry, we've got to get rid of them, would you, at the post-mortem in half?
27:03Yeah. You want them in next week?
27:04Yeah.
27:06Harry, can I ask you a question?
27:07As long as it's not geography. I'm shit at geography.
27:11No, it's a personal question.
27:13What about me?
27:14No, about me.
27:17Does everybody know about me and Jenny Dean?
27:19Yeah?
27:20Oh, great.
27:22Harry, I may be wrong about this, but I get the impression that we're mates. Is that right?
27:26Yeah.
27:26Yeah, you know me well enough to know that I would not go busting into Graves' files.
27:30Yeah.
27:31However, I am busting to know what is going on.
27:33Do you think you could do a bit of, um, informal sniffing for me?
27:37Oh, yeah, yeah.
27:38Yeah? Not just Jenny Dean. I want to know about Eddie Hargreaves.
27:40He's the guy who's supposed to have verbaled cars walk.
27:42Oh, I'll see what I can do, Gervin.
27:43Cheers, Harry. Let's go.
27:46Thank Christ, it wasn't geography.
27:49Sorry, we're late, Don.
27:58It's all right. We're finished anyway.
28:00Just tighten him up for the parents.
28:02I've, uh, arrived rather early.
28:04Yeah, I saw. So, what's the situation?
28:07Death by strangulation.
28:09A little bruising on his left wrist, otherwise no other marks of damage whatsoever.
28:12A very healthy body.
28:14Apart from being dead.
28:16Yeah.
28:17Blood tests?
28:19No, we won't know any of that until Monday.
28:20Same for the drugs, Jim.
28:22All the scrapings from my other finger, though, show no sign of flesh.
28:25But we're testing them, too.
28:26The cell phone, off and on the clothes.
28:28What about rubies?
28:29Ah, clean.
28:30Well, that's a four-hour clip.
28:32So, it looks like suicide.
28:33I suppose so.
28:36But you're not sure?
28:37Well, I accept that there's no sign of a struggle.
28:39But I just think it takes a bit of doing to hang yourself by kneeling down with somebody only a few feet away.
28:43Yeah.
28:45Harry, go and talk to Ruby at St. Helens.
28:47He should be back on planet Earth by now.
28:48Okay.
28:49See you back at base this afternoon.
28:54Cheers.
28:55Well, well, well.
29:08Great minds, eh?
29:10What do you mean?
29:10You're checking our homework for silly mistakes.
29:13Maybe we should compare notes later on.
29:15We don't want Clark finding any clues with her, aren't we, do we?
29:20Anyone on the planet system would have been working on the allowable?
29:25Make sure you get his bill.
29:33I haven't treated him since he was about 13, but I have seen him a couple of times this last year.
29:38Why?
29:39He wanted some advice on which medical schools to apply for.
29:41What?
29:43Oh, he's a bright boy.
29:44He's going, was going to Manchester.
29:46He got an A and two Bs.
29:50Wow.
29:51Are you surprised?
29:52Well, yes, yes, I am, really.
29:54Why?
29:55Because he's black?
29:57No.
29:58I don't think so.
30:00You see a kid.
30:02Yeah, sure, a black kid lying dead in a police cell, having been brought in for possession.
30:07You don't wonder how many A-levels he's got.
30:08No, I suppose not.
30:10Custody records said he was working in a factory.
30:12Mr. Pearce said it would be all right if we talked to them this afternoon.
30:16Do you think that would be okay?
30:17I should think so.
30:18They're very strong people.
30:20He was their only child.
30:21So he was a bright boy, then?
30:24Yes.
30:25What was his strongest subject?
30:26Chemistry.
30:27Could have studied it at Oxford or Cambridge.
30:29But he'd his heart set on being a doctor.
30:31No, I don't know.
30:34I'll tell you later.
30:36It was a nice kid.
30:37¶¶
31:07So, where did it come from?
31:21I don't know.
31:22I don't think I'll follow this.
31:24It was in your pocket, and you didn't know where it came from?
31:28No.
31:29Speak up.
31:30No.
31:31All right, let's say someone put it in your pocket, in the pub.
31:35Don't you think you would have felt it when you walked out?
31:37A big tin like that?
31:39I didn't.
31:40So, when I took it out of your pocket, you'd never seen it before?
31:43No.
31:44I took it out of your pocket, didn't I?
31:47Yes.
31:47Speak up. I took it out of your pocket, didn't I?
31:51Yes, sir.
31:52So, if we find it has your fingerprints on it, that's going to look a bit odd, isn't it?
31:58Isn't it? Considering you've never seen it before, eh?
32:02I reckon you should go away and have a little think.
32:06We can talk again later, and perhaps you'll be a bit more cooperative.
32:09Have a few more answers for me, eh?
32:11Because you are right in it up to your neck, sunshine, and I'm the only one who can pull you out.
32:17I think Gordon was right. The fingerprints may tell us.
32:20Yeah, Pierce didn't like that, did he?
32:22Oh.
32:22Hi.
32:22Hello, Harry. How was Ruby?
32:24Not that different from last night, really.
32:26Do you remember anything?
32:28He vaguely remembers seeing a body hanging from the door, but that's it.
32:31And as he'd been counting green and red haystacks down in Labrack Grove that evening, he hadn't given it much thought, yeah?
32:36Jesus.
32:37Could he have killed Pierce?
32:38Nah.
32:39Sure?
32:40Yeah.
32:41All right. Let's rule out Ruby.
32:45And murder.
32:45Probably.
32:46Well, I always was a bit fanciful. So, suicide. Why?
32:52That's the big question. Either he was intimidated mentally or even cleverly, physically, by, let's say, Gordon.
33:01Or he was tripping out on something. Or he was so deep in the shit it was the only way out.
33:05Or all three.
33:07Yeah. Let's find out some more about Pierce. There's something wrong. He's too clean.
33:12Were you seeing his parents at three?
33:13Oh, that'd be nice. Before you go, have you got a minute for a quiet word?
33:16Um, no. I've got to go and talk to the boss.
33:18What's this quiet word, then?
33:24Private mailer.
33:25Oh, excuse me.
33:27Ray?
33:29Sir, um, I've been thinking about this morning.
33:32Good.
33:33I'm sorry about it. Uh, I'd been up all night and I was, um, well, I was out of order.
33:38You were.
33:38And I'm sorry.
33:39OK.
33:40I've also been thinking about WPC Dean.
33:42Good.
33:43And I would like to ask for permission to cover habit.
33:47What?
33:49I'd like to ask for permission to cover habit with WPC Dean. She means a lot to me.
33:53Are you serious?
33:54Yes, sir.
33:57Clark, you are a mindless idiot.
34:00Am I, sir?
34:01Yes. I shall think about it over the weekend and I will turn down your request on Monday morning.
34:05Why?
34:06Why? Because she's under investigation. She's been served at the 163.
34:09If officers weren't allowed to associate with other officers who've been served at 163, there'd be a lot of very quiet nicks.
34:16Clark, you are a member of CIB.
34:17Yes, sir. I also know that when we serve a 163 on someone, we presume I'm innocent until proven guilty.
34:23Come on, Jen.
34:29Come on, Jen.
34:30Go away, Eddie.
34:31I just want to talk.
34:33I don't.
34:34Look, Jen, if you give evidence, I may go inside. Don't you think I have the right to talk to you?
34:38We've said all there is to say. If you fitted someone up for a crime, they didn't commit, you can't expect me to take a dive with you.
34:44No, no, of course not. I just need to know what you're going to tell them.
34:47You expect me to discuss it here?
34:52You never return my course.
34:53Why did you come here, Eddie? I don't want to talk to you anymore.
34:58I've told you.
34:59I'm not going to shock you if I can help it, but I won't lie.
35:02Come on, Jen.
35:03Leave me alone, Eddie.
35:04So would you say Jenny Dean was part of the conspiracy?
35:09I don't know, but I doubt it.
35:11What I'm pretty sure of is that she does know enough to get the other two officers slammed up.
35:15One of the officers has had the heart griefs, isn't it?
35:18Am I right?
35:21Well, am I wrong?
35:22No, it's just that I've seen them together.
35:25Is that odd?
35:27Yes and no. He's not based here anymore.
35:29I see.
35:31Well, that's a yes. What's a no?
35:32Well, it's not that odd, because she and Hargreaves had a thing going.
35:36Probably still do.
35:37Oh, really?
35:39Harry, this is completely off the record, isn't it?
35:41Yeah, of course.
35:43Well, she's a bit strung up right now.
35:45Hope it's been served the 163 and all that.
35:48And buzzes that their emotional life has been a bit of a mess, too.
35:52She had a thing with Hargreaves and one or two others.
35:55You know how some women are when they're wound up.
35:57She become a bit of a bike.
35:58No, no, that's not fair.
36:00Rumour. Canteen talk.
36:02Look, this is so wrong.
36:06He's a good boy.
36:08He's never been in trouble with the police.
36:12Stopped a few times.
36:13But that's a fact of life for black kids.
36:15You know that some of them don't deserve it.
36:17But he was never charged with anything.
36:19No, no, no.
36:20Oh, once.
36:22He, um...
36:23He had this Schaefer pen from his auntie when he passed his exams.
36:29The police tried to say he had stolen it.
36:31What about Dilly?
36:32Was he a friend of Joey's?
36:34Oh, sort of.
36:35They went to the school together.
36:38They got on all right.
36:40Dilly left school more or less by the time he was 13.
36:43I heard Joey spend a lot of time with him recently.
36:45I don't think so.
36:47Did he do any practical work at home?
36:51Like what, may I ask?
36:54Um, dissections, chemistry experiments, that sort of thing?
36:58No.
37:00Did he, Alice?
37:02What?
37:10Mr. Pearce, would you mind if I took a look round Joey's bedroom?
37:16Had Joey ever tried drugs?
37:19No.
37:20He didn't even smoke.
37:22Drink?
37:23Not really, no.
37:27Thanks.
37:29Yeah, but did your parents know what you were up to?
37:32Where?
37:32Maureen, I don't want to embarrass you, but while we were in Liverpool,
37:35you told me about a frantic relationship you had with a teacher while you were still at school.
37:40Well?
37:40You said it lasted more than two years.
37:42Did your parents know?
37:43No.
37:44That's my case.
37:45Uh, Gov, Commander Oxtable said he'd like to see you as soon as you got back.
37:49What does he want?
37:49I don't know, but could I have a quick word first?
37:51Uh, do you mind, ma'am?
37:54Had a little chat with a mate of mine down at Jenny Dean's Nick Lunchtime.
37:58Oh, thanks, Harry. That was quick.
38:00Yeah, that's right.
38:01Yeah.
38:04Uh, the word is she's very uncomfortable, but I guess Graves is making a stew a bit.
38:08There's obviously a load of shit going down because nobody's laughing it off.
38:12She's a prime witness, maybe a suspect.
38:15Yeah.
38:15Yeah, it is thought that she's very vulnerable, and here's the bit you won't like. The word is that she's still emotionally linked with our groups.
38:27What does that mean?
38:32Well, you know, she's, uh...
38:33Well, they saw each other today.
38:38Well, the word is...
38:39Word is, sorry.
38:40Word is, word is. It's all bloody yak, yak, yak. People have better things to do with their time.
38:48Sorry, Harry. Word is.
38:50It is thought that Dean still has a sexual relationship with our Graves.
38:54Thanks, Harry.
39:06Come in.
39:07Oh, hello, Tony.
39:12Uh, yes, I wanted a quick word for you about Carswell.
39:16Carswell?
39:17Yes, I'm under pressure, government and press, to make sure that everything's laid out on the table on this one.
39:23So you want to be sure that I'm going to get you a conviction?
39:27Well, you have to be careful how you say things like that.
39:29I don't want to make an example or a scapegoat of anyone, but I have an instinct, and my instinct tells me we could get a conviction.
39:37If?
39:38Yes, if.
39:41If someone breaks ranks.
39:43Look, I'll be straight with you, Tony. This isn't an offer, it's a suggestion.
39:49If your girlfriend gives evidence, you'll be very unlikely to encounter any problems getting permission to cohabit.
40:03Now, what do you think?
40:06I think this entire department has been set up to monitor my personal life.
40:11Well, frankly, Tony, that's not something that requires a great deal of investigative effort.
40:15Thanks.
40:37Hi, gorgeous.
40:40Hi.
40:41You look terrible.
40:42I know what you want, but you'll have to make do with some guacamole instead.
40:52Right, you want to hit her, or...?
40:54Jenny, can you come and sit down? We need to talk.
40:56I'm finished cooking.
40:58Will you turn it all off and come and sit down?
41:09When did you last see Eddie Hargreaves?
41:12It's lunchtime today.
41:18Would you have told me?
41:19No.
41:20If you'd had a jump with him, would you have told me?
41:22Oh, screw you! Screw you!
41:25I guess you will.
41:27You're welcome.
41:28You're welcome.
42:42Hello.
42:43Hello, Sue.
42:44What are you doing here?
42:46Um, I don't know, really.
42:50Just wanted to see you.
42:52Well, here I am.
42:54You look beautiful.
42:55Tony, what are you up to? What are you after?
42:57Just wanted to see you.
42:58You can't come in.
42:59Why?
43:00Who is it? Sue's?
43:06Sue's?
43:07Yeah.
43:08Sue's.
43:09Oh, my God.
43:39Well, the level was fairly high. I suppose it had three, four, maybe even five times during the course of the evening.
43:44Drugs?
43:45No, not very sure.
43:46What about the prints on the tin?
43:47The prints were more interesting. The last prints were Gordon's.
43:50No figures.
43:51And?
43:52And Pierce's.
43:53Ah.
43:54But only one seat on the outside. The tin was smothered inside and out with Dilly's prints.
44:05Sir, superintendent, what can I do for you?
44:07I just got all the stuff back from forensics, and it's made me jump to a conclusion.
44:11I wanted to see how it ties in with what you both know.
44:14Right, fire away.
44:17One set of Pierce's prints on the outside of the tin. None on the inside.
44:22So what?
44:23Inside and outside smothered with Dilly's prints.
44:27Yeah, that figures. And I bet we still can't nail the bastard.
44:31What about Pierce?
44:33What do you mean?
44:34Oh, I see.
44:35It still doesn't mean he was innocent.
44:38Doesn't it?
44:38Of course not.
44:39And if he was innocent, why did he stop himself?
44:42Fear.
44:43Fear, sure.
44:44But of what?
44:45Prison?
44:46Fear of losing his place at medical school, of breaking his parents' heart, of knowing the
44:51only way to get himself off was to shop his so-called friend, who obviously only slipped
44:55him the tin at the last minute. I mean, he doesn't belong. Who gave you this soap story?
44:59Why don't you just listen? You might learn something.
45:01What did you say to me?
45:02That poor kid was shitting himself, and none of us noticed.
45:05I'll have you for insubordination, Sergeant.
45:08I didn't hear anything.
45:09Nor me.
45:11My kid is 16. If he was dragged in here in the middle of the night and threatened with
45:15a 12-year stretch, it would blow him away.
45:18Right. And what are we supposed to do? Give everyone therapy? Call a counsellor, Ene?
45:22Learning from our mistakes would be a start.
45:25You have no brief to come in here and give me a lecture. If you've got a complaint to make
45:30against me, you take it to my chief super, or take it to your PCA mates.
45:34I'll probably...
45:34Stop it, Clark!
45:39There's always superintendent. There's always one.
45:41Yeah. The irony is, he's the only one of the whole bunch of you I couldn't touch for anything.
45:48Don't worry. There won't be a comeback.
46:00Would you like to come through now?
