SHE SINGS QUIETLY

# That is your desire

# Oh, we are

# Lies all lies... #

My text is taken from Matthew Chapter 5, at verse 43.

"You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.

"But I say to you, love your enemy

"and pray for those who persecute you."

ALL: # All things bright and beautiful

# All creatures great and small

# All things wise and wonderful

# The Lord God made them all. #

BELL CHIMES

TRANSLATED FROM FRENCH:

Hello, William.

Edward didn't come today, had to stay and wait for the vet.

Poor old Charlie's got something wrong with his hoof again.

Not five minutes ago, he had something wrong with the other one.

Poor old Janet's gone into a nursing home.

She didn't want to go, but the family made her.

Trouble with her hip.

I think it's best for her, really.

Well, they couldn't look after her, could they?

I mean, there's only the two of them, he's got to go to work.

Hm.

She didn't go quietly, though.

-TV:

-'Normal life in one of the busiest parts of the capital has now

'been suspended, as just a few yards down the road here

'they continue to care for the injured,

'as all around, groups of Londoners are standing on corners,

'asking themselves what has happened here and who could possible have done this.

'A man who might have some of the answers, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner,

'visited the scene of the devastated bus.

'The bus, is a bomb that's gone off in the back of the upper part of the bus...'

Oh, my...

'But it could have been a suicide bomber?

'There's no reason to suggest that, there's no reason to deny that.

'There is not enough information at this stage to make that a fact.

'And I think speculation to that is unhelpful.

'And, from what you've seen, these various incidents,

'all very, very close together, was this a co-ordinated attack?'

-PHONE:

-'At the tone, please record your message.'

Jane, it's Mum.

I can't believe what I'm watching on the television. This is terrible!

Phone me, darling, as soon as you get this message.

I just want to know that you're all right. OK?

'..died below ground, but the bombers were not finished there.

'This is what remains of the number 10 bus,

'which was travelling through Tavistock Square near Euston Station,

'when an explosion blew away its upper floor.'

Oh, my God!

'Dozens of the survivors were critically injured,

'but many of the wounded were also keen to share their stories.

'We just pulled out of Edgware Road, and next thing I know,

'there's a loud... a large flash of light.'

'At the tone, please record your message.'

BEEP

Hello, Jane, it's Mum again.

I don't know why you're not picking up your messages.

Do call me, darling, I just want to know you're OK. All right. Bye-bye.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've had some, stop it!

There's a good girl.

SHE CLICKS HER TONGUE Come on, come on.

There's a good girl.

'An ITV News journalist was close by when the bomb exploded.

'When the bomb did go off, there was a massive, you know, pile of smoke going up into the air.

'Um, it sounded like a building being demolished, actually,

'that's what I first thought it was.

'And obviously when I got there, I realised it wasn't, it was a bus.

'It was a time people should have been arriving at their jobs

'and at their offices, but not this day.

'Many of them died despite the attentions of doctors

'from the neighbouring British Medical Association headquarters...'

'At the tone, please record your message.'

'..waiting for ambulances.'

Oh, thank you, Edward.

Thank you, I'll only be gone for two or three days.

-Everything will be all right.

-Yes.

Now, there's some hay coming on Thursday,

if you could be here to take that in.

-OK, don't worry, everything will be all right.

-Let's have some coffee. I've just got to have a quick shower.

-Get things ready, because the ferry leaves in an hour.

-Yes, OK.

-TANNOY:

-'..Departure for England.'

SHIP'S HORN BLARES

-Is this it?

-Yeah.

-Are you sure?

-Yes, ma'am.

-Salaam.

-Pardon?

-Can I help you?

-No, it's OK, thank you.

-My daughter lives here. I'm waiting for her.

-You're the mother of Jane?

Yes. I am.

She's a very nice girl.

Yes, I know she is. Yes.

Jane?

-I'm the owner of the flat.

-Oh, I see.

I see.

-If you want, I can bring you the keys so you can wait inside.

-Yes, please.

Thank you.

-Stay here.

-OK.

-I come back.

-Thank you.

Hello?

Jane?

PLAYS SOME NOTES

-Excuse me. Can I help you?

-Do you know how this goes in?

-Let me see it.

-You just put this in this side, like this. Put tape in there.

-Thank you.

It's all right.

-Put the right bit... That's it.

-Oh.

-Thank you very much.

-It's all right. Goodbye.

-Thank you.

DIALS NUMBER

Hello, Jane? Jane, it's Mum again.

Oh, Jane, please phone us, darling. Please.

We're so worried with these awful things going on.

Phone Uncle Edward, OK?

Bye-bye.

Oh, my God.

Oh...

My name is Elisabeth Summers. I think my daughter is missing.

She's not answering her mobile phone and she's not at her flat.

All her things are there.

I live in Guernsey, I've come over specially

but she's been living here for...nearly two years.

She's a student.

-I don't know what to do. Can you help me?

-When did you last hear from her?

-Two-and-a-half weeks ago.

-Do you have a photo?

-Mm.

It's a couple of years old, but she hasn't changed much.

Her hair's a bit shorter.

Given what's happened, she knows I'd be worried.

She definitely would have called me.

And I've got nobody else to turn to. My husband died in the Falklands.

-He was in the Navy. I have his service papers...

-No, no, it's fine.

It's OK. Look, I'm really sorry about your husband,

but as you can imagine, there's loads of people flocking to

police stations looking for missing persons.

The emergency services are really stretched at the moment but we are doing our best to cope.

It's very unlikely that she's a casualty.

Look, do you know what her movements were? What's the journey she normally takes?

No, not really.

She'd phone me just to tell me that she was OK

and she never told me anything much else. You know what kids are like.

-Can you help me?

-I don't think we can do much at the moment.

Look, here's the addresses of all the hospitals,

and they'll give you the names of the injured.

And here's a form that you can fill out.

OK? And if we hear anything we'll let you know.

Maybe you can put up a photograph around the neighbourhood

and leave a number where you can be contacted.

OK. Thank you. Shall I give this to the officer...?

Yeah, give it to the officer outside. He'll fill it in for you.

-Thank you.

-OK?

-NEWSREADER:

-'The tube was shut down all day,

'most of the trains in and out of London cancelled.

'Buses that had filled the streets in this morning's rush hour

'now confined to their garages.'

This clearly was a callous attack on

purely innocent members of the public,

deliberately designed to kill and injure innocent members of the public.

-NEWSREADER:

-'A few hours earlier the capital had been celebrating.

'Now those who live and work here are in shock.

'One couple summing up the feelings of thousands with their

'tears of relief at finding each other safe and well in the midst of so much sadness.

'This savage turnabout in one city's fortune reflected in the flag

'flying at half mast above Buckingham Palace tonight.'

I can't see his name, no.

There you go, mate, I've had a look.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

Excuse me, do you mind if I get past you for a moment? Excuse me.

Excuse me, would you display one of these for me?

No, I'm not being silly, Edward.

I met this African who's got a photograph of her at the mosque.

I'm serious!

I've been to the police, they've even been here and searched the flat.

This place is absolutely crawling with Muslims.

It is! Her landlord's a Muslim!

I'm really scared, Edward.

SHE SOBS

I can't come home yet.

I've got to do the rounds of the hospitals again.

-Hi.

-Hello, what can I do for you?

-Look.

We're looking for his son. You know him, don't you?

Yes, he takes my course, but he hasn't been back since the bombings.

-Quite a few students haven't been back since the bombings.

-Oh, yeah?

-Excuse me. That's my daughter.

-Oh, yeah?

-Yes.

-Yes, that's Jane, right?

-Yes.

-Jane. Right.

She takes the class with Ali. She takes...

They're always here together.

When was the last time you see them?

It was the week just before the bombings.

TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH:

-OK, thank you.

-What did you say to him, just then?

Well, they know each other. I mean, your daughter knows his son Ali.

-They take the class together.

-I know that.

-It's Ali's father.

I just wanted to know where she is.

We're just looking for his son.

OK.

Thank you.

We started a few weeks ago and they've been here regularly.

-That's, erm, that's just a language, right?

-That's just the language.

-We started with the alphabet...

-I don't understand

why she needed to learn Arabic.

She's probably just picked up the interest from Ali

who's a friend of hers.

-Yeah, but, I mean, who speaks Arabic?

-We all do.

-I don't.

I suppose it's just a question of some interest that they picked up.

SHE SNIFFS

PHONE BEEPS

'At the tone, please, record your message.'

Jane, when are you going to return my calls?

It's all right, darling, I know all about your friend.

Ha-ha. His father's in London as well, actually.

Yes, he's told me all about Ali.

Ha-ha-ha. Does this mean I'm going to have to buy a new hat?

Call me, darling. There's a good girl.

Thank you.

Next four, please.

Please.

'Police got their vital lead only last night,

'when they spotted men they already suspected

'as they scoured CCTV footage.

'Anti-terrorist officers went immediately to Leeds.

'During their searches, they found a substantial amount of explosives.

'The police believe they're probably dealing

'with Britain's first suicide bombs.'

'The investigation, quite early, led us to have concerns

'about the movements and activities of four men.

'We're trying to establish their movements in the run-up

'to last week's attacks

'and, specifically, to establish if they all died in the explosions.'

'This is what we now know happened on July 7th, 2005.

'Three of the suspected bombers travelled by train

'from Leeds to Luton.

'A fourth had driven there by car.

'All four boarded a Thameslink train to King's Cross.

'At 8:30 last Thursday morning,

'they were caught on CCTV at King's Cross.

'They were all carrying rucksacks.

'At 8:51, the three bombs exploded on the underground

'within a minute of each other.

'At 9:47, the bomb on the bus went off.

'The chilling sequence of events began in west Yorkshire,

'home to three of the suspected bombers,

'young, British men of Pakistani origin.

'The raids here, the first sign

'of a major breakthrough in this investigation.'
