0:01:32 > 0:01:34'The next few hours are going to be critical.'

0:01:34 > 0:01:38All leave has been cancelled. Overtime has been approved.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42Thank you to all officers who have come in on your rest days.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45WPC Dawson has given a good description of the hooligan.

0:01:45 > 0:01:5019 or 20 years old. 5 foot 6, black hair, brown eyes.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52What's going to make him stand out from your average teddy boy

0:01:52 > 0:01:55is a three-inch scar down his right cheek.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58There's nothing we can do for PC Coulson.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01He's in the hands of the doctors and God.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04What we can do is find the maggot that put him there.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10OK. You've got your assignments.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Let's turn over some stones and see what crawls out.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Nelson wants all available officers on this.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26I've got a missing boy to find and a sex attacker on the loose.

0:02:26 > 0:02:27This is one of our own.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30If I hear anything, you'll be the first to know.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Dawson.- Sir?

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Are you sure you don't need time off?

0:02:34 > 0:02:35I'd rather be working.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38An admirable sentiment, but you've suffered a nasty shock.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Actually, sir, I could use her out with me.

0:02:40 > 0:02:41I don't know if that's a good idea.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- She's the only one who can identify this scum.- True.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46And if it hadn't been for her quick thinking,

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Eddie Coulson would be in the mortuary.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54What are you waiting for, a fanfare?

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Get your hat.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02HE WOLF-WHISTLES

0:03:04 > 0:03:05In!

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Around 7:15 last night. Come on, you must have seen something.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Not a dickybird.- You sure?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18- No, sorry, love. Nothing. - If you hear anything - anything -

0:03:18 > 0:03:21- you call Brinford police station, right?- Yeah, sure.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Anything?

0:03:29 > 0:03:30No.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45All right, son?

0:03:45 > 0:03:46What do you want?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Thought I'd come see where you're working.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Well, you've seen it, now you can blow.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53I saw your gran last night.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55How is she?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Not so good. It's her heart, you know.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01She misses you.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Said she wouldn't recognise you any more.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Not a skinny little kid now. Grown man.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Look, why are you really here?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12Son, I need to find someone.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14A ted.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17A copper's in hospital. Eddie Coulson.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18You've...met him.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21Yeah, and he arrested me for something I never did.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Slashing a few seats in the Regency is one thing.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Stabbing a police officer is crossing the line.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- If you know who's done this... - All that stuff about Gran just to butter me up?

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- No, that's not fair...- Admit it - your job always come before me.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Sam!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- What did he want?- Nothing.- Eh?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Honest, Johnny. He was just blowing hot air.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52Family stuff.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Suppose you slipped him the wink?

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Look, I'd never grass on you. Not after everything you done for me.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Si, everybody knows me.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07You go in any bar in Roma, you say the name Salvatore Angeletti,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10you get free drinks all of the night.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Sarge.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19What? You thought we walked this way by accident?

0:05:19 > 0:05:20Come on, Sherlock.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Scusi momento. I just finish here.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Hey! What are you doing?

0:05:30 > 0:05:33You can't do that, disturb my customers!

0:05:34 > 0:05:37One of your lot with a slashed face. You know him?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- No.- Go on.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Get lost.

0:05:40 > 0:05:43The next one is on Salvatore! OK?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48- (ENGLISH ACCENT)- Ta very much, Sergeant Fenton!

0:05:48 > 0:05:50He ain't coming back in a hurry, is he?

0:05:50 > 0:05:51You know why we're here, Derek?

0:05:51 > 0:05:55If I knew anything, I'd be straight down the station, wouldn't I?

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Are you sure?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Hmm? Nothing you want to tell me?

0:05:59 > 0:06:00As God's me witness!

0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06We'll wait.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15WOMAN SOBS

0:06:17 > 0:06:20MAN WHIMPERS

0:06:31 > 0:06:32Please, Sergeant.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35You're going to bankrupt me.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37My heart bleeds(!)

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Think of my poor bambinos!

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Three mouths to feed and another on the way.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44He needs to sew his flies up this one, eh?

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Give his missus a break.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49SHE SHRIEKS

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Hey! Now you're trying to wreck the place!

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Just tell us what we need to know and we'll be out of your hair.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56But if word gets out...

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Word about what?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00Hey, I thought you never knew nothing?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04There is a lad...

0:07:04 > 0:07:06with a scar.

0:07:06 > 0:07:09He comes in for a trim and something for the weekend.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Name?- I don't know. On my poor mother's grave!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Do you have any idea how he got the scar?

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I heard it was a fight, when he was in borstal.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Other lad came off worse.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28That's all I know.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35The girls send their love.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38SHRILL SCREAMING FROM NEARBY ROOM

0:07:39 > 0:07:41They miss you.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46We all do.

0:07:54 > 0:07:55Then take me home, Jack.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59That's...not possible.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04I'll be good.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05I promise.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Dr Hurley says...

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Dr Hurley?!

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Do you know what he does to me when you're not here? He...

0:08:17 > 0:08:20They strap me down and then they...

0:08:22 > 0:08:27They put wires on my head, they... And then...

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Please, please don't let them hurt me any more.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36We just want you to get better.

0:08:39 > 0:08:40No, Jack!

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- What kind of man are you?!- Deborah!

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Doctor!- No-one left to protect me! I hate you!

0:08:46 > 0:08:48What kind of a man are you?!

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Please! Please!

0:08:50 > 0:08:53You're meant to protect me, Jack.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56I hate you, Jack Burns. Jack!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59I hate you, I hate you.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00Jack!

0:09:02 > 0:09:05In my day, you had a barney you sorted it with your fists.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Nowadays, you so much as even look at someone the wrong way,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10and you're likely to get a knife between the ribs.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13You know I've always supported you, love.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I knew the risks when I signed up.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20It could be you lying in St Vincent's.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23I'm not quitting, Dad.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25- KNOCK ON DOOR - Hello?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30We didn't have anything planned for tonight?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- No, but I just wanted...- Frank! - Mrs Dee.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Don't look at me. I must look like a right mess.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Sorry for just dropping in, only I've got some good news.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Ooh. I love a surprise.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43You're only looking at the new deputy foreman!

0:09:43 > 0:09:46Oh, Frank, that's wonderful!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Well done, lad.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Yeah. Congratulations.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53This calls for a celebration, Joe. (The sherry.)

0:09:55 > 0:09:58And I've got a nice rhubarb crumble in the oven.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01You know I can never refuse your puddings, Mrs Dee.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Didn't I say he'd go far?

0:10:06 > 0:10:07HE SIGHS

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Kate, have some more toast.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Please. Just one more piece.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15All right, last spoon. Please, for Daddy.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17- I want Mummy.- I want Mummy too.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Kate...

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Mummy!

0:10:26 > 0:10:28GIRL SCREAMS

0:10:28 > 0:10:30DOOR SLAMS

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Ten shillings a week. Did you hear that, Gina?

0:10:34 > 0:10:36You've said it twice.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Have you seen those new flats they're building

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- on the old jam factory? - Yes, they look really smart.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44All right if you want to live in a rabbit hutch.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Right, who's for seconds?

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Ta, Mrs Dee.

0:10:53 > 0:10:54There's more in the pan.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'll go.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Left at the back of the shelf, is that what you want?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03- What have I done now? - It's what you haven't done.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05You know how long he's been waiting for that promotion.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08You could at least slap a smile on your face.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10I will. If you tone it down.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13"Ten bob a week, new flats."

0:11:13 > 0:11:15You're about as subtle as a steamroller.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16MAN CHUCKLES

0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Frank, Gina's just had a good idea. - Oh, yeah?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22To celebrate your promotion, a slap-up meal, tomorrow night.

0:11:22 > 0:11:23Sounds great.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'll see what the butcher's got in.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Stuffed heart - that's your favourite, isn't it, Frank?

0:11:34 > 0:11:35FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:11:37 > 0:11:38Oh. Chief Superintendent.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Oh, um...

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Cathy Sinclair, sir.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Yes, of course.

0:11:43 > 0:11:44Is there any...?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46No, no change.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Well, that don't mean it's bad.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50My Uncle Dick got knocked on the noggin with a shovel.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Couldn't wake him up for a week, but now he's as right as rain.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57Except he can't remember Aunty Vi's birthday, or their anniversary.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00I should check in with the doctor.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Okey-dokey.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Help! Somebody! Anyone! Please help!

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Help! Eddie!

0:12:26 > 0:12:27Please help.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31Please, come this way.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40- KNOCK ON DOOR - Hello?

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Hello?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Helena. Thanks for coming.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48The girls will be pleased to see you.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Is Godfrey not coming in?

0:12:49 > 0:12:52He thought it best to wait in the car.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55We went to Edmund Hall last night.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00How could you do that? To your own wife!

0:13:00 > 0:13:02She was a danger to herself and the girls.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Nonsense. She's just exhausted.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Grandma!- Grandma! - And no wonder.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09Ah, here they are. My little angels.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13Oh, look at your hair! It's like a bird's nest.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17And you are just skin and bone.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- What is your daddy feeding you? - Are you going to help me or not?

0:13:20 > 0:13:21Of course.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25We can't expect Daddy to take time off from his precious job, can we?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28- I'll be back by six.- And tomorrow?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30The girls need stability.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Which is why we've decided it'd be better if we took them home with us.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37- There's no need for that. - Their room's ready.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39- (FORCEFULLY)- I can manage.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43It'll be a nice break for them. Proper, home-cooked food.

0:13:43 > 0:13:44A few treats.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46HE SIGHS

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I don't want them being spoiled.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53They'll be treated like the little princesses they are.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55That didn't work for Deborah, did it?

0:13:57 > 0:13:59I think it's time Daddy said goodbye, don't you?

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Gramps and Grandma are going to look after you for a few days.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08But we'll talk on the telephone every day,

0:14:08 > 0:14:10and it won't be for long.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13All right?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15I love you.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Well...

0:14:22 > 0:14:24No, his right cheek.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27A vertical scar. Couple of inches.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28OK. Thank you.

0:14:28 > 0:14:3219 years old, 5' 6". Yeah, sounds like a match.

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Name. Give me a name.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38Can you send us a photo?

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Great. Ta-ra.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Johnny Harris. Last known address, Churchill Road.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49I know. "Get your hat."

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- BABY CRIES - Lisa Harris?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- He ain't here. - You won't mind if I see for myself.

0:14:56 > 0:14:57Don't forget to look under the bed!

0:14:57 > 0:15:00You think this is a joke, hey? Do you know what he's done?

0:15:00 > 0:15:03I've seen the papers. But what makes you think it was Johnny?

0:15:03 > 0:15:05I saw him do it.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08You were there too, Lisa. Don't deny it.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10We could charge you as an accessory.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13What would happen to your baby then?

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Go on, then. Where's your cuffs?

0:15:15 > 0:15:17BABY CRIES

0:15:19 > 0:15:23Go and knock up the neighbours. Somebody must've seen him.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26He'll be going down for a nice long stretch.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28And it won't be just borstal this time.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30You want him, you catch him.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45Her name is Sarah Freeman. She'd be in her early 60s by now.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47And all you have is this address?

0:15:47 > 0:15:4935 Jellicoe Road, Birmingham.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Where she lived 30 years ago,

0:15:51 > 0:15:53and she's not in residence there now?

0:15:53 > 0:15:56I wouldn't be bothering you if it was that easy.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00And what kind of a case is this, Detective Inspector?

0:16:00 > 0:16:02You know I can't tell you that, Miss Lawrence.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Is it connected with the bones in the mine?

0:16:06 > 0:16:08What is it? Blackmail gone wrong?

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Witchcraft?

0:16:10 > 0:16:11Crime passionnel?

0:16:11 > 0:16:13When can you get me the information?

0:16:13 > 0:16:16I'll stay at it all night if I have to.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18I'll see you tomorrow, then.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24GINA: Why are you protecting him?

0:16:27 > 0:16:30And where in the wedding vows does it say,

0:16:30 > 0:16:33"I will abandon my wife and baby with no food or money"?

0:16:34 > 0:16:37He can be gone for days, but he always comes back.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41Where does he go?

0:16:41 > 0:16:45I asked once. Won't make that mistake again.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Oh! Bloomin' great.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Is there no-one else who can help you?

0:16:52 > 0:16:56My parents never liked Johnny. When I got pregnant...

0:16:56 > 0:17:00Do you really expect us to believe you don't know where your own husband is?

0:17:00 > 0:17:03The rent's due. My baby's hungry. I've got no more shillings to put in the meter.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Do you think I'd really be sat here if I knew where Johnny was?

0:17:07 > 0:17:10The only thing I do know is that he wouldn't go far.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Not without me and David.

0:17:14 > 0:17:19The longer this goes on for, the worse it's going to get for Johnny.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23If he comes back, will you give us a call?

0:17:23 > 0:17:25BABY CRIES

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Here.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47For the baby.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11OK. Progress report?

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Shaking up the teddy boys didn't do any good. No-one's talking.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Their neighbours haven't seen Johnny for days.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19What about his parents?

0:18:19 > 0:18:23Moved to Aberdeen, sir. Their local lads are trying to locate him.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Sir. Is there any news on Eddie?

0:18:27 > 0:18:29He's still critical.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Is this him?

0:18:32 > 0:18:33Why isn't he in custody?

0:18:33 > 0:18:36It's only a matter of time, sir. He can't hide forever.

0:18:39 > 0:18:40What's this?

0:18:41 > 0:18:43New lead in the missing boys case.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Still wasting time on something that's dead and buried?

0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Henry Fuller's story doesn't add up. - Who?

0:18:48 > 0:18:51The baker? He knew both the boys.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53He claims he got a shop girl pregnant.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56She disappeared around the same time the boys vanished.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57She moved away. So what?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00What if Henry Fuller killed all three of them?

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Oh, for heaven's sake.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05How many times? That loony John Evans took the boys.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07And if you're wrong?

0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Wrong?- To be fair to DI Burns...

0:19:09 > 0:19:11I'll tell you what's wrong!

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Is you, wasting your time on ancient history

0:19:14 > 0:19:18while the scum who tried to kill my son is still walking free!

0:19:19 > 0:19:22You want to get your priorities right...

0:19:22 > 0:19:23"Detective".

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Here.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59You left them on your desk.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06Maybe Coulson's right. Maybe I am chasing ghosts.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09You can't give up.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12You owe it to Stanley Collins, to William Parker.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Go home. Have dinner with your family.

0:20:19 > 0:20:20Forget about work for a few hours.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25I'll be going home to an empty house and a fish paste sandwich.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31I hear the Anchor does a pork pie that's just about edible.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35You've twisted my arm.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36Give me five minutes.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Sorry about your stuff. I mean, I couldn't get near the place.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Coppers everywhere. - Did anyone follow you?

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Nah. I did like you said. Doubled back.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52Jumped on a couple of buses.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Paper say he's still alive. - Who?

0:20:55 > 0:20:57The copper.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02Look, you can't stay here forever. Someone's bound to get suspicious.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05No, you're right. I'm going to have to blow.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07Go somewhere they can't find me.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09You can send for Lisa once the heat's died down.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Are you joking? She'd bring the law straight to me.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- What about David?- How do I even know that's brat's even mine?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- No. We're better off cutting ties from this dump.- We?

0:21:19 > 0:21:23You ain't got nothing worth staying here for. But London...

0:21:23 > 0:21:26Yes, I can see it now. We'll get a nice little flat.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30A couple of new lads in. We'll start again, only bigger this time.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33But we ain't got a shilling between us, John.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Let me worry about that, Sammy boy.

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Have a chip.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I couldn't go from fighting for my country to sitting behind a desk

0:21:44 > 0:21:46six days a week.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Maybe I watched too many westerns as a lad.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Always wanted to wear a sheriff's badge and bring law

0:21:53 > 0:21:54and order to Tombstone.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59My mum wanted me to be a teacher.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01And your father?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Wanted a boy.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06No, that's a bit unfair!

0:22:06 > 0:22:09He's always encouraged me to follow my dreams.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13Which wasn't teaching seven-year-olds the ten times table?

0:22:13 > 0:22:16I just wanted to do something that made a difference.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18And do you think you're doing that now?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well...

0:22:21 > 0:22:24every morning I wake up and put my uniform on, it feels right.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Maybe I liked westerns as well.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34Only girls never get to be sheriff, do they?

0:22:34 > 0:22:38No. They get to make endless cups of tea and type up reports

0:22:38 > 0:22:42for male officers who can't even spell the word burglary.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44THEY LAUGH

0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Thanks.- For what?

0:22:51 > 0:22:52I needed this.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57How come you were going home to an empty house anyway?

0:22:58 > 0:23:01Deborah's taken the kids to her parents' for a few days.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Must be nice to get some peace and quiet.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15I'll take you home.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19Thanks.

0:23:24 > 0:23:25What are you doing here?

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I can't have a lady walk home on her own, can I?

0:23:28 > 0:23:31Walk? Where's this car you're always going on about?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Nearly there. Bodywork's done.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Just waiting for a new grille to arrive from the States.

0:23:36 > 0:23:41You can't rush perfection, but in the meantime it's Shanks' pony.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Your Sergeant Pratt told me you were here.

0:23:43 > 0:23:48Everyone's done a shift. Sitting by Eddie's bed, talking to him.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Did you hold his hand?

0:23:50 > 0:23:53What? Bill Pearson, you're jealous!

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Of that dopey pup? I don't think so.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59But I'm your girl. Everyone knows that.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Prove it.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18You do love me, don't you?

0:24:20 > 0:24:21Bill?

0:24:24 > 0:24:25- Bill?- Mm-hm.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33You do love me?

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Stop, stop.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39I said stop!

0:24:47 > 0:24:48Cathy.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Cathy!

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Here's just fine.

0:24:57 > 0:25:01BLUES MUSIC PLAYS

0:25:09 > 0:25:10Thanks for the lift.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16# I'm like a Mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump... #

0:25:18 > 0:25:19Night, then.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Gina, I...

0:25:23 > 0:25:27# I got so many women I don't know which way to jump

0:25:29 > 0:25:32# Now flip, flop and fly

0:25:32 > 0:25:35# I don't care if I die

0:25:35 > 0:25:38# Now flip, flop and fly

0:25:38 > 0:25:40# I don't care if I die

0:25:40 > 0:25:47# Don't ever leave me Don't ever say goodbye, oh my! #

0:25:48 > 0:25:50FRONT DOOR OPENS Hello? I'm home.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Hope you didn't wait. I'm not that hungry...

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Where have you been?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58I had to work late.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01Well, don't just stand there. You've kept us waiting long enough.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03I just hope it's not ruined.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05I'm sure it'll be delicious.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07Blimey!

0:26:07 > 0:26:09You have pushed the boat out. Best crockery.

0:26:11 > 0:26:12Dad in a tie.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- You should get promoted every week. - Have you been drinking?

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Just a quick one. - I thought you said you were working.

0:26:24 > 0:26:25We were talking about a case.

0:26:25 > 0:26:30So you've been boozing while we've been sat here like lemons?

0:26:30 > 0:26:31She's here now, Bren.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Frank?

0:26:36 > 0:26:39Where are you going? I want to hear all about this new job.

0:26:39 > 0:26:40Every detail.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42- I'm on earlies. - What about your tea?

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I'm sorry, Mrs Dee. I've lost my appetite.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Safe journey home, son.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53FRONT DOOR CLOSES

0:26:53 > 0:26:56Oh, that poor lad. Why do you treat him so badly?

0:26:56 > 0:27:00- I just lost track of time. - That's not the only thing you'll lose if you're not careful.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03You won't find another man who'll put up with your carrying on.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Now sit and eat before it gets any colder.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20WOMAN CRIES OUT IN NEARBY ROOM

0:27:48 > 0:27:51Reckon we should start a book on who's going to be next.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53Might even put a guinea on myself.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55HE CHUCKLES

0:27:57 > 0:27:58Morning, Sergeant.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59Dawson.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04Johnny Harris?

0:28:04 > 0:28:06Still haven't flushed him out.

0:28:06 > 0:28:07What about his parents?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Local bobbies interviewed them,

0:28:09 > 0:28:12but they reckon they haven't seen him for years.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- So what do we do now? - We?

0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Well, I thought... - Well, you thought wrong.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20I need a partner who's on the ball.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Not someone who didn't get any sleep last night.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26I slept fine, thank you very much.

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Oh, really?

0:28:28 > 0:28:31Get back to your vital police work, Constable,

0:28:31 > 0:28:32that kettle won't boil itself.

0:28:32 > 0:28:33MEN SNORT

0:28:37 > 0:28:40Jack Burns can't be that good. If she'd spent the night with me,

0:28:40 > 0:28:42I'd have left her with a smile on her face!

0:28:42 > 0:28:44MEN LAUGH

0:28:45 > 0:28:48The first thing I did was check the name Sarah Freeman

0:28:48 > 0:28:50against the address you gave me.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52- And?- She never lived there.

0:28:53 > 0:28:54I don't understand.

0:28:54 > 0:28:58However, our records do show that a Sarah Stern lived at that

0:28:58 > 0:29:00address until 1944.

0:29:01 > 0:29:02And....

0:29:02 > 0:29:06a cross reference with our marriage records confirmed that...

0:29:09 > 0:29:11Come on, Inspector.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Sarah Freeman's maiden name was Stern.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Bingo!

0:29:15 > 0:29:17So where did she go after '44?

0:29:17 > 0:29:19Several addresses. All in the Birmingham area.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23The most recent being number 15 Primrose Terrace.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26But that's not the end of the trail. Oh, no.

0:29:31 > 0:29:32A death certificate?

0:29:32 > 0:29:35Sarah Stern died at St Luke's Hospital three weeks ago.

0:29:37 > 0:29:38Any next of kin listed?

0:29:38 > 0:29:41A George Stern was present at the death.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- And he is?- Her son.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47That fits. She was supposed to be pregnant when she left Brinford.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Ah, no, but does it?

0:29:49 > 0:29:53I could only find one birth certificate linked to your lady.

0:29:53 > 0:29:58Charles Albert Freeman. Born 1919, died 1925, aged six.

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Tuberculosis.

0:30:00 > 0:30:04OK. So, she lost a child before she came to work in the bakery.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08Then she got pregnant again, went away, gave birth to George.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13Only one problem with that. I've gone through all our records.

0:30:13 > 0:30:17There's no birth certificate, nothing. George Stern doesn't exist.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25Cathy.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- What's happened? - It's nothing.

0:30:29 > 0:30:30Let me see.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Three-inch heels and stairs don't mix.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38Bill?

0:30:38 > 0:30:40You won't tell anyone?

0:30:40 > 0:30:41Of course not.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48Dawson, you're needed. Missing persons case.

0:30:48 > 0:30:5019-year-old girl who didn't come home last night.

0:30:50 > 0:30:51Yes, Sergeant.

0:30:59 > 0:31:03She always gets the last bus home from work,

0:31:03 > 0:31:05but we can't stay up that late.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Does Patricia have her own key?

0:31:07 > 0:31:10She's always very careful not to disturb us when she comes in.

0:31:10 > 0:31:15Only when I went to wake her, her bed hadn't been slept in.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18Could she have missed the last bus? Stayed with a friend?

0:31:18 > 0:31:20It's never happened before.

0:31:20 > 0:31:26She would have telephoned. She'd have known how worried...

0:31:28 > 0:31:30Where does Patricia work?

0:31:30 > 0:31:31Hobbs' Restaurant.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Does Patricia have a boyfriend? - No. She's a good girl.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42If she's not working, she's helping me. You know, at the church.

0:31:44 > 0:31:47Is there anything else, Mrs Buckley?

0:31:47 > 0:31:52Sometimes when she says she's running errands, she isn't.

0:31:52 > 0:31:56She's going to the theatre or dances.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58She's not a child any more, Matthew.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00She has to get out with people her own age,

0:32:00 > 0:32:03she can't be stuck in with us all the time.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Why didn't you tell me? - You want to protect her.

0:32:07 > 0:32:12She knows that, she has to find her own way in the world.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15I'll need a description of Patricia.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27Salesman, is it? Well, you won't get much joy there.

0:32:27 > 0:32:31The dead don't have much call for encyclopaedias or vacuum cleaners.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Police. Detective Inspector Jack Burns.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38Detective Inspector? Never had one of them on Primrose Terrace.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40This is where Sarah Stern lived?

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Until the cancer took her. Riddled with it.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46By the time she got to the doctors, it was too late.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Nothing they could do but help with the pain.

0:32:48 > 0:32:49And her son?

0:32:49 > 0:32:53George? Oh, he was devoted to her. They were never apart.

0:32:54 > 0:32:56How old is he?

0:32:56 > 0:32:59Let me see think. He had a birthday a couple of months back.

0:32:59 > 0:33:02Er...37.

0:33:02 > 0:33:06- You're sure?- Positive. I remember saying he should think about moving out.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10Still living with your mother at that age? It ain't healthy.

0:33:10 > 0:33:1137?

0:33:11 > 0:33:15And steak and kidney pie. Enjoy your meals.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16Jessica Mundy?

0:33:18 > 0:33:19Yes?

0:33:19 > 0:33:22Can we sit and talk?

0:33:22 > 0:33:24Yeah, sure.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32I understand that you're friends with Patricia Buckley?

0:33:32 > 0:33:35And you were working together last night?

0:33:35 > 0:33:36That's right.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Well, your boss tells me

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Patricia had the night off and you telephoned in sick.

0:33:43 > 0:33:44Why lie?

0:33:46 > 0:33:48Is George still living here?

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Your guess is as good as mine.

0:33:50 > 0:33:52Haven't seen hide nor hair of him since the funeral.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55Any idea where he could have gone?

0:33:55 > 0:33:58Took it really bad. Day and night he sat by her bed.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00And the flowers!

0:34:00 > 0:34:03Her room was more like a garden than a hospital.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Can you describe him?

0:34:05 > 0:34:09Not as tall as you. Hair - brownish. Polite. Sort of shy.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14If George comes back, you'll contact Brinford police station?

0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Of course.- Thanks.

0:34:23 > 0:34:26So, where did you go?

0:34:26 > 0:34:29The Tavern. The Skittles were playing.

0:34:29 > 0:34:33And Patty's got the hots for the singer. Richy Lomax.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37What time did you leave the pub?

0:34:37 > 0:34:42She wanted to go at ten to get the last bus.

0:34:42 > 0:34:43But you didn't go with her?

0:34:43 > 0:34:47We had a bust-up. I didn't even see her leave.

0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Could she have gone off with this Richy?- No.

0:34:53 > 0:34:54How can you be so sure?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Because I was with me.

0:35:00 > 0:35:04But if she's moaning that I stole him, then...

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Well, how's that police business anyway?

0:35:09 > 0:35:12Patricia never came home last night.

0:35:12 > 0:35:13What?

0:35:20 > 0:35:22What's all this about, Dawson?

0:35:24 > 0:35:26A missing person, sir.

0:35:26 > 0:35:31Patricia Buckley, 19. She didn't come home last night.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34I spoke to the conductor of the last bus she could have taken home.

0:35:34 > 0:35:35She wasn't on it.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38If Patricia walked home,

0:35:38 > 0:35:41her most direct route would have taken her through Victoria Park.

0:35:41 > 0:35:44Patricia's disappearance can't just be a coincidence.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46It could be an escalation, sir.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51I'll organise a search.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Good work, Gina.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18Edward?

0:36:20 > 0:36:21Son?

0:36:23 > 0:36:25Dad?

0:36:32 > 0:36:33You read my mind.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37About last night.

0:36:37 > 0:36:40How did it go at the Records Office?

0:36:40 > 0:36:45It was...confusing.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48How?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Sarah Freeman went back to her maiden name, Stern.

0:36:53 > 0:36:57But there's no evidence of her having had Henry Fuller's baby.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00However, she did have a six-year-old son

0:37:00 > 0:37:03who died before she came to Brinford.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07The same age the boys were when they went missing.

0:37:07 > 0:37:09Then I find out that a "George Stern",

0:37:09 > 0:37:14supposedly her son, was living with Sarah until she died.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17He's 37, he's too old to be Henry Fuller's child, but...

0:37:17 > 0:37:20But the same age Stanley Collins would be if he was still alive.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25You think Sarah took Stanley?

0:37:26 > 0:37:28It fits.

0:37:29 > 0:37:30What about William?

0:37:31 > 0:37:32Got in the way?

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Threatened to tell what he'd seen.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41But if George Stern is Stanley Collins, where is he now?

0:37:46 > 0:37:47Dawson.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Sir.- My office.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54Now.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07It has come to my attention that certain rumours are circulating.

0:38:07 > 0:38:09- Sir? - About you and a senior officer.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12That's just malicious gossip.

0:38:12 > 0:38:16So there's nothing improper going on between you and Detective Inspector Burns?

0:38:17 > 0:38:19We went to the pub, that's all.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22Just the two of you? He's a married man!

0:38:22 > 0:38:24It was just a drink.

0:38:24 > 0:38:26It's still enough to ruin your reputation.

0:38:29 > 0:38:33I expected more of you, Dawson. You've shown great promise.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Are you really going to throw your career away for the sake of a tawdry affair?

0:38:37 > 0:38:40- But it's not an affair. - That will be all, Dawson.

0:38:41 > 0:38:42Yes, sir.

0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Gina?- Not now, Jack. - What did Nelson say?

0:38:55 > 0:38:58He said that people are starting to talk.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59About us?

0:39:01 > 0:39:04So? Let them.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06Well, that's easy for you to say.

0:39:06 > 0:39:11You're not the one who's going to lose their job over some stupid, drunken kiss.

0:39:11 > 0:39:14Are you saying it meant nothing?

0:39:14 > 0:39:16I've worked too hard to get here.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19- Can't we talk about this? - I won't risk my career.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22Not for you. Not for anyone.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29It's not too late to call it off.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33- You going soft on me?- No, I'm not.

0:39:33 > 0:39:36- Cos if you're going soft...- I'm not!

0:39:36 > 0:39:38(He's here.)

0:39:39 > 0:39:41All right, let's do it.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57All the money. Back in the bag, then hand it over.

0:39:57 > 0:39:59Do it, now!

0:40:06 > 0:40:09Why don't you be a good boy and put that down.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10Do him!

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Do...him!

0:40:20 > 0:40:23It's no good, Johnny. Give yourself up.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Just you and me now.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33You're dead!

0:40:53 > 0:40:54Come on, then!

0:40:54 > 0:40:57Ready when you are, boy. Only, you better be good.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59Come on!

0:41:03 > 0:41:04Johnny Harris,

0:41:04 > 0:41:07I am arresting you for the attempted murder of a brave officer

0:41:07 > 0:41:09whose boots you're not fit to lick.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11You are not obliged to say anything, but anything you do say

0:41:11 > 0:41:14won't matter, because you'll be spending

0:41:14 > 0:41:18the rest of your miserable little life behind bars. Get used to it.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20Shut up!

0:41:25 > 0:41:27Not a mark, Sergeant.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31CLATTERING

0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Think you're a big man, are you? - SLAPPING

0:41:34 > 0:41:36Some more good news.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39I've just had Chief Superintendent Coulson on the telephone.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Eddie's out of danger.

0:41:41 > 0:41:42Ah, that's great news!

0:41:46 > 0:41:48Ah, where's your big smile? >

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Well done, son.

0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Yeah, well, I need to go back to work so...- Right.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06But you mentioned something about a pint?

0:42:06 > 0:42:10Great. The Anchor. 7 o'clock?

0:42:10 > 0:42:11Sounds good.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23There he is - the shirker.

0:42:24 > 0:42:26What you won't do for a few days off!

0:42:26 > 0:42:29Sarge.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Do you know how worried we've been?

0:42:31 > 0:42:32We?

0:42:32 > 0:42:36Oh, it's just me. Cathy's been in every day.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41Tell you what, I'm glad they're letting you out.

0:42:41 > 0:42:44Your old man's been driving us mad.

0:42:46 > 0:42:51Well, everyone will be very pleased to hear how well you're doing.

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Tara a bit.

0:42:57 > 0:42:59Here, let me.

0:43:08 > 0:43:09I...

0:43:11 > 0:43:12I had it cleaned.

0:43:14 > 0:43:17I'm glad that someone was watching over you.

0:43:17 > 0:43:19That was supposed to be my job.

0:43:21 > 0:43:25I expect you back on duty as soon as possible.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29After all, you are a Coulson.

0:43:31 > 0:43:33Yes, sir.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48- Frank's on his way. - It's not Frank I'm here for.

0:43:48 > 0:43:51- Oh? - Stay away from her.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53- What? - I know what you did.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56Cathy's my girl. I do what I want.

0:43:56 > 0:43:59Hurt her again, and I'll have you locked up in a cell.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01You can't tell me who I can and can't see.

0:44:01 > 0:44:03- What's going on? - You want to keep your mare on a shorter rein.

0:44:03 > 0:44:06How's he going to do that? With his fists, like you do?

0:44:06 > 0:44:09- You cow!- What are you doing? - He needs to be told.- Here?

0:44:09 > 0:44:12- Do you know what he's done? - This is where I work.

0:44:12 > 0:44:14How am I meant to set an example to the men

0:44:14 > 0:44:18when they see you shouting at the gates like a fishwife?

0:44:18 > 0:44:20I thought you'd come to apologise,

0:44:20 > 0:44:22but no, that's too much to ask for, isn't it?

0:44:22 > 0:44:24I am sorry.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28I'll make it up to you. I promise.

0:44:28 > 0:44:29See you later.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37Put her back in her place, then.

0:44:37 > 0:44:40If you ever talk to her like that again...
