This was posted on the Internet.

It was brought to my attention by
lord gransford at the home office.

Good to know he's
not overworked.

It was actually
spotted by his wife.

She used to be a film
actress, Gloria Wakefield.

She was involved
in this production.

'Shadow show four,
take two. Mark it.

'And action.

'You really don't
get it, do you?

'You're my property, I can do what I
like with you and when I've finished

'i can throw you away like a used
kleenex! I can make you disappear!

'I don't give a damn,
let me through here.'

the clip appears to show footage
from a film called shadow show,

which was being shot at
pinewood studios in 1990.

And the people in the clip are
Eva Roderick, in her first movie role.

Max stone, the producer, and
Don Maddox, that's him there,

the director.

Maddox, didn't he used to be an actor? He
started out as an actor, moved into directing.

People once talked about
him as the new Orson Wells.

They don't talk about him at all now. Shadow show was
never completed, and he never directed a movie again.

But if it's in 1990, why
is it in black-and-white?

Pick the bones out of that.

I've got to go to a meeting.

Sandra will get you up to speed.

"Don Maddox's current project is
intended to have a retro, noirish quality,

"taking us back to the cinematic
ambience of the 1940s." God help us.

When I saw the word
retro I thought of ucos.

On the day this scene was shot, Eva Roderick
disappeared under suspicious circumstances

and Max stone was
found fatally stabbed

in the chest, in
his studio office.

What was the outcome of the investigation? There
wasn't enough evidence to put anyone in the frame.

But the original inquiry was told nothing about
any violent behaviour from Maddox towards Eva,

or any dispute between
Maddox and stone and, in fact,

the schedule said that there was
no shooting taking place that day.

So why is someone putting
this stuff out on the Internet now?

Yeah, and who's doing it?
Where'd they get the footage?

The filming was abandoned, but
apparently all the existing footage

was seized by the financial backers
and destroyed as being valueless.

But are we seeing what happened,
or just trendy smart-arsed fiction?

That's a complicated issue.

Give that here. Apparently
shadow show was supposed to be...

Wait for it...

"Reflexive, post-structuralist
exploration of the nature of film itself."

A black-and-white film about
films. Now that's a real j Arthur rank!

Take out the witness statements.
Brian and I will talk to Don Maddox.

Is he still going? Shadow show
finished him as a film director,

but he's still working.

He directs the odd commercial
and does voice-overs.

Ok, you and Jack go
to pinewood studios.

Check out the
original crime scene.

Hey, pinewood studios, eh?

Takes you back, don't it?

The great days
of British cinema.

Do you remember
Saturday morning pictures?

cinema meant a lot to
me when I was a teenager.

I'll never forget what I felt at
the end of summer holiday.

Really? Yeah. Pauline
Grady slapped me face for it!

Oh, man, do you
see that? See what?

I'm trying to navigate round this
maze. We're in a dream factory.

Looks like any
other factory to me.

So where are we now?

Must be down here somewhere.

Horn beeps

mind your backs.

Good grief!

It's fantastic, innit?

The wife of this home
office geezer, lord gransford.

Gloria Wakefield,
what about her?

She didn't just act in the film, she
actually found Max stone's body, yeah?

Yeah. We'll be talking to her
later. Come on, Don Maddox is here.

'You really don't
get it, do you?

'You're my property, I can do what I
like with you and when I've finished

'i can throw you away like a used
kleenex! I can make you disappear!'

woman in film gasps

'i don't give a damn,
let me through here.'

so the clip shows you
assaulting Eva Roderick.

Threatening to
make her disappear,

which she did, that very day.

And yet in your witness statement you
make no reference to the incident. Why not?

Because it was a non-event. What's going on
there is dramatic fiction. It's not true.

It's like all those wonderful confessions the police
used to obtain before they used tape recorders.

So you're telling us that up to the
point when Max stone intervenes,

this is following the shadow
show script? Yes, of course.

Well, to me that looked, and
sounded, like a real slap round the face.

My business is
the art of illusion.

Have you got a
copy of the script?

I'm a cinematic auteur,
not a bloody librarian.

It was my movie, I know
what was meant to be in it.

There was no filming
scheduled for that day.

And yet the fact that you were on set
wasn't mentioned in any of the statements.

No, because we shouldn't have
been. It was completely out of order.

Look, I was trying to do something
experimental with shadow show.

You can't expect the bean counters to
understand that sort of thing. Who do you mean?

Executives.
Accountants. Producers.

In their terms, I was way over budget, but not
a great deal of usable footage to show for it.

So, I put together a skeleton crew, dipped my hand
in the petty cash, and tried to save the picture.

Max stone found out about
it and barged in on me.

You're saying that's what we see in the footage? Stone's
telling you to stop this unscheduled filming? Yes.

So who was in this
skeleton crew of yours?

Charlie prentice...

Died of lung cancer, 2001.

Doug Potter, heart attack,
2006 and malkie Miller,

last heard of in jail on drug
charges in oaxaca, Mexico, 1996.

So we've only got your
word for what happened?

Tough.

We have availability on c stage,
with offices and dressing rooms,

for three months
beginning September.

Phoebe will have the quote with
you by close of business today.

Thank you for seeing
us. I'm Jack halford.

This is Gerry standing. Morning.

Lotte Davenport, I'm operations
manager of the studios.

We're reinvestigating
the death of Max stone

and the disappearance of Eva
Roderick, here in the studios, 1990.

They were filming shadow
show, directed by Don Maddox.

That's all before
my time, I'm afraid.

Of course, we're well
acquainted with mr Maddox.

He's booked in to use the
dubbing theatre this week, actually.

Is there any chance that we could
have a look at the crime scene?

I'm sorry? Block a, the
offices and dressing rooms.

Yes, they're free
right now. Phone rings

Phoebe will point you
in the right direction.

Lotte Davenport... Oh,
hi, Tom. How are you?

What was your relationship
with Eva Roderick, mr Maddox?

She was the love of my life.

You were, at the time, still
married to Gloria Wakefield.

What in the world would that have
to do with it? Do grow up, Brian.

Your wife was in the cast
of shadow show, wasn't she?

There'd have been hell
to pay if I'd left her out.

Of course, in the end there
was hell to pay, always is.

In your original statement you said that you
were alone with Eva all through the afternoon

that stone was murdered, which
the footage shows to be a lie.

An economy with the truth.

So what did happen?

Well, Max stone was the boss,
so I had to close down the shoot.

Then I went back with
Eva to her dressing room,

and we spent the rest of the
time there together, as I said.

The starlet's dressing room!

You can imagine all sorts going on
in a place like this, know what I mean?

Yes, Gerry, I know
exactly what you mean.

Gerry chuckles

so you and Eva spent the rest
of the afternoon together, until...

We were disturbed by the
banshee wailing of my then wife.

I left Eva and rushed
upstairs and found Gloria

going for an Oscar
with Max stone's body.

Are you saying she was
faking her emotional reactions?

Gloria's never
done anything else.

But don't misunderstand me.

Max stone was belly up with a pair
of scissors sticking out of his chest.

Gloria couldn't have done that.

Really? She only
stabs in the back.

But besides, there was blood all
over the place, but none on Gloria.

She'd obviously clocked
the situation from the doorway

and decided to keep her
versace trousers clean.

Well, according to this, back
then there was a sofa there.

Yeah, right, and the body
was found just here, wasn't it?

And the only bloodstains were in
front of the sofa, here on the carpet.

That would suggest he's standing
in front of someone, wouldn't it?

Somebody stabbed him!

Gerry groans

like that, he falls
down. Very good.

Help us up. Always easier
going down than it is getting up.

Tell me about it!

Coffee?

I called security, they got the police and in
the middle of all this I thought about Eva.

I rushed downstairs
to the dressing room...

But she'd gone.

Before the murder, was Eva
disturbed or distressed about anything?

Eva was a very disturbed
and distressed person.

She'd been brought up in care,
had a couple of bad relationships.

You know she'd overdosed
on tranquillisers twice before?

It was mentioned
in the original inquiry.

When you say "before" you mean, this
time she was successful? Bloody obvious.

It's far from obvious. Her
body was never found.

She had tried it before and been brought back.
This time she wanted to make it permanent.

She didn't want to be found.

What was Eva's
relationship with Max stone?

Employer and
employee. That's all.

Would she have any
reason for killing him?

She couldn't have killed
him, she was with me.

Pity she's not around
to give you an alibi.

But then, you could
have killed them both.

But I didn't.

Thank you, that's most helpful.

Bye-bye.

Her ladyship will Grant us an
audience tomorrow morning.

I've managed to track down another
one of the original interviewees.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, David snaith,
director of photography on shadow show.

He worked with
Maddox on all his films.

Although they weren't supposed to be
filming that day, he was at the studios.

Reckons he was running
lens tests on a new camera.

Maddox didn't mention him as
one of his skeleton crew, did he?

Maybe cos he's still alive and
kicking, and still in the movie industry.

He lives in gerrards cross. I'll
get Jack and Gerry to talk to him.

This may or may not be
relevant, but he's got previous -

possession of class a drugs.

Ah, well, that's gerrards
cross for you - full of surprises!

Knocks on door

I'll tell you what, I'll go and
check with the neighbours. Right.

Hello? Mr snaith?

Doorbell rings

oh, hello. Uh, I'm
Gerry standing.

I work with the metropolitan
police. Oh, yeah?

Yeah, erm, we're trying
to contact David snaith.

Haven't seen him
for a week or so.

But he's often away, on
location, y'know? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Does anyone else live there? No.

Not since his friend moved out.

Friend? Billy.

Billy? Don't know
his other name.

And you wouldn't know how to
contact him, I suppose? No, afraid not.

Did they work together in the
film business? No idea what he did.

Something creative, probably.

Nice fella.

Well, if you see snaith, could
you tell him we'd like to talk to him.

And Billy.

Is this your number?

Thank you.

Any luck?

No, she hasn't seen
him for over a week.

Thinks he might
be on a location.

Well, that's enough of the glamour of
show business for one day. Come on.

Heavy thuds

Brian, what are you doing?

Brian? Hessian grenadier,
not in bad shape...

Apart from his head. Is that
what you've been looking for?

No, it is not. Yo-yo.

Yo-yo? It's in the brown
suitcase, under the damp patch.

Oh, brilliant!

Hey!

See, you never lose the knack!

What's brought this on?

Well, we're investigating a murder
at pinewood studios, and we were

talking about the old
Saturday morning pictures

and I was thinking about
the yo-yo competitions.

What, like, who's
got the biggest?

Oh, no, we used
to learn to do tricks.

You know walking the dog,
looping the loop, rocking the baby.

Saturday morning pictures!

I was out in god's fresh air doing
good deeds with the brownies.

With walking the dog, you had to get the yo-yo to
carry on spinning at the bottom of the string, and then

you lightly touch it on the ground,
so it rolls along of its own accord.

Only you're still holding the string,
so it's like you're walking a dog.

Oh, well, that's a winner(!)

The string'll be
binding on the spindle.

I didn't really go to the
pictures till I was much older.

Oh, god, I remember how much I
wanted to see Lawrence of Arabia...

And then I missed
about half of it.

Overwhelmed by
passionate kisses.

He tuts

thank you for seeing us,
lady gransford. Not at all.

Thank you. But there's
very little I can tell you.

It seems like another world,

it was so terribly long ago.

19 years, it's not so long,

not at our age, eh?

Another life, mr Lane.

I have no connection
with that world any longer.

But you still check out old
movie clips on the Internet?

A harmless indulgence,
like googling yourself.

If you happen to be somebody.

At the time shadow
show was in production,

were you aware that Don Maddox was shooting
extra footage without the producer's knowledge?

No.

But it doesn't surprise me.

Don was always falling
out with his producers.

You said in your original statement
that you went to see Max stone

that afternoon on a "business matter."
Could you tell us more about that?

Well, the truth is, I wanted him to
do something about the situation.

What situation was that?

My then husband was carrying
on an affair with Eva Roderick.

He made no attempt to disguise
the fact or to spare my feelings.

I was being humiliated
in front of my colleagues.

Had you confronted
him about this behaviour?

That would have
been a waste of time.

You have to understand that Don
is an emotional and physical bully.

Humiliating me
meant nothing to him.

He deliberately reduced me
to tears on set, time after time.

It was his way of
dealing with actresses.

Lady gransford, I have to
ask you, why would Max stone

have taken your
part in all of this?

Because he fancied Eva
himself. That was obvious.

The little tart jumped
on Don's casting couch

to get her first job in pictures, but
she knew where the serious money was.

She was playing up to Max
stone, and he wanted her.

There's been a development.

Some more film's been posted.

It might be the whole
sequence. Have a look.

'Shadow show four, take two.

'Mark it. And action.

'You really don't
get it, do you?

'You're my property, I
can do what I like with you,

'and when I've finished I can
throw you away like a used kleenex!

'I can make you disappear!
You do what I tell you to do.

'This has gone far
enough. Stop this right here.

Woman in film shrieks

'cut, for Christ...'

so, what do you make of that?

Let's think about
what we've got here.

Maybe what we're seeing is
Maddox bullying an actress for real,

which according to his
wife he's got form for.

Well, if it's real, it looks like Max stone's
intervening to protect Eva. He fancied Eva for himself.

And they came to blows.
So what happened to Eva?

Well, if Gloria's
to be believed...

That's a big if. Eva was playing
Maddox and stone against each other.

So maybe Maddox murdered
both of them out of jealousy?

It's a theory. Yeah,
but that was then, 1990.

What about now? Why is this stuff
suddenly being posted on the net?

It's giving a lot of
grief to Maddox.

Yeah, and who'd want to do
that? Anyone who's ever met him.

It could be Gloria,
she's still got it in for him.

She was the first to flag it up. Hmm. But if it's
just malice, why is it coming in dribs and drabs?

Maybe there's more to come? What if there's evidence
of a real crime and someone is saying to Maddox,

"I've gone public with this, but
there's a lot more." Blackmail.

Maddox may be finished as a movie
director, but he's still worth a few Bob.

Ok, let's go and
talk to Maddox again.

Ah!

Lawrence of Arabia.

What about him?

The film.

As far as I remember,
I only saw that once...

With Jimmy
greenbanks, the librarian.

Passionate kisses
never came into it.

You don't altogether
surprise me, Brian.

He never ceases to surprise me.

Uncertainty,
anxiety and tension...

I'll go again.

Uncertainty,
anxiety and tension...

Cheers. ..That's
life in today's world.

We all feel the pressure.

But now, science has
the answer to constipation.

High lax. It takes the
weight off your mind.

Oh, look lively it's Lilly law.

I'm working! This is harassment!

How do I talk to him?

Through there.

Erm, we've got new
evidence to discuss!

'My property, I can do what I like
with you, and when I've finished

'i can throw you away like a used
kleenex! I can make you disappear!

'You do what I tell you to do. I don't
give a damn, let me through here.

'This has gone far
enough. Stop this right here.

'Cut, for Christ...'

mr Maddox... sorry,
dear, I'm in police custody!

We don't seem to have any response
from you about settling your accounts.

I don't deal with the small change,
sweetheart. Talk to my people.

Or you can write to
me, care of strangeways!

My money's on
broadmoor, actually.

So what was all
that about, then?

"It's like deja vu
all over again."

Sam goldwyn! Very good, Brian.

You really are a world-class
anorak, aren't you?

Producer interferes
with director's shoot,

director invites him to piss off.
Everyday life in the movie business.

What, physical violence?

Well, it is a bit unusual,
but not unheard of.

One more thing that wasn't
mentioned in your witness statement.

No. Max stone had been found dead,
if I'd said we'd been in a fight, well,

it would have given a
misleading impression.

It would have been the truth.

So what happened after
the exchange of blows?

We both realised we were
behaving like middle-aged buffoons.

We cleaned ourselves up and Max stone closed down
the shoot, as I said. And then stone was murdered.

Not by me. Going back to
the assault on Eva Roderick.

According to your ex-wife...

Oh, lady godiva's stuck her oar in, has she? According
to Gloria, you habitually abused actresses on set.

She reckons you frequently
reduced her to tears.

The only way to get a performance out of Gloria.
She's got the emotional range of a petrol pump.

Did you bully Eva?
Not by my standards.

As I said, what you saw
in the footage was fiction.

You always worked with David
snaith as your director of photography.

Every picture you made,
including shadow show. Yes.

Did he shoot this footage?

Yes, he did. You didn't mention
him in your last interview.

Er, no. Why not?

Dave was uncomfortable about
working on the cheap, he wouldn't want...

This is a police
investigation, mr Maddox!

From now on we'd like
the whole truth, please.

Yeah, sorry about that.

And David snaith will confirm your version
of events, will he? Absolutely, yes.

Yeah, that's terrific.

Yeah, thanks very much.

Computer forensics -

they can tell where the
first posting originated from.

An Internet cafe in gerrards
cross. Where snaith lives.

He's moving nicely into the
frame. Shame we can't find him.

There may be a lead.

Mr David Martin snaith and mr
William Patrick radford gave notice

of intention to register a civil
partnership a couple of months ago.

Though the partnership
was not, in fact, registered.

We got anything on
this William radford?

He describes himself as a
"cinematic craftsman." I looked him up.

He works for a firm in the studios.
He's got to be worth talking to.

Certainly has.

William radford?

Billy radford, yeah.

Jack halford, this
is Gerry standing.

We work with the
metropolitan police. Oh, right.

So what can I do for you? We'd
like to talk to you about David snaith.

Right. Do you mind if
we take this outside?

Oh, sure. Sure.

Fascinating job you've
got, making all these props.

Prosthetics, actually. Yeah?

Is it for a horror film?
Yeah. Curse of the pharaoh.

Oh, I love a good horror flick!

Do you remember the
devil rides out? Er, no.

No?

You remember it, don't you?
I don't like horror films. No?

Apparently, there are tons of paper records in the
vaults here and most of it's never been archived.

Oh, so there might be some
documentation on shadow show.

Good to know whether Don
Maddox is bullshitting us, isn't it?

Do you want me to
have a look, then?

It's your kind of thing, Brian.

What?

You all right?

If I can't rely on me memory,
then I've lost my usp, haven't I?

Me, me whole raison d'etre.

I wouldn't go that far.

In respect of Lawrence of
Arabia, can it be playing me false?

Dunno, Brian, you've lost me.

And action. Dave
was really good to me.

He gave me my
start in this business.

Weren't you planning
a civil partnership?

Yeah, we thought we
had a future together.

Didn't really work out. Do
you know where he is now?

We haven't been in
touch since we broke up.

He could be out of the country. He's
been doing a lot of work in Eastern Europe.

Did he ever mention about working with
Don Maddox on a film called shadow show?

Yeah, he really rated Don Maddox, he
thought he was one of the great directors.

Do you know if he's in possession
of any of the footage from the film?

I'm not aware of that.

I realised there's lots of
things I didn't know about Dave.

That's why we broke
up. What sort of things?

Look, I don't want to drop him in it.
This is a murder investigation, mr radford.

In your own interests, you'd be well
advised to tell us everything you know.

Right now.

The reason I split up with him was
I found out he'd been lying to me.

What about? Drugs.

He promised me he
was clean... But, hey-ho.

And cut! Lovely. Thank you.

Ah! Shooting schedule, 1987.

Getting warm!

Of course, either Esther or I could be confusing
Lawrence of Arabia with doctor Zhivago.

'89.

Which would be
a bad sign in itself.

Oh, guv'nor, guv'nor.
Oh, miss Davenport.

Oh, excuse me. Apropros
of your earlier conversation,

would you say that Don Maddox has financial
problems of any kind? Not that I know of.

He's just tight-fisted
and obnoxious.

Thank you.

I've found a script!

They cheer

Sit down, Brian.

(I've found a script
for shadow show.)

Let's have a look.

The scene posted on the
Internet doesn't exist in this script.

So, Maddox is
definitely having us over.

Maddox has been giving us
a load of lies from the start.

He now admits that snaith
shot the bootleg footage.

The Internet postings came from snaith's
neighbourhood, but he disappeared when they started.

And his ex-boyfriend
said he was well dodgy.

He could be running a blackmail scam from abroad,
but why post the footage from gerrards cross?

If we can't find him, let's give his
place the once over? After lunch.

That's Don Maddox's car.

What's he doing here?

Just dropping by on the
off-chance, were you?

Look, I'd better tell you, there seems to
have been a break-in. Oh, does there?

I couldn't get an answer, so I checked
around at the back door. It's been forced.

I'd better take a
look. Wait here!

I'll be wanting to talk to you.

Looks like there's been a
bit of an altercation here.

Answering machine beeps

'You have four new messages.

'Good morning, Dave. It's
about time we got together again.

'Get back to me...' It's
Gloria. Her ladyship?

Yeah. Who had, "no connection
with that world any longer."

He laughs

'Dave, get back to me, please.'

machine beeps

'me again. Look, I've tried your
mobile, got no response, I really need...

'I really need a meeting.'

machine beeps

'get back to me, you bastard!
You know what it's like...'

I don't think she wants to
discuss the servant problem.

No.

Look, I admit I wanted
to talk to Dave to, er...

Make sure our recollections were compatible,
that I hadn't inadvertently forgotten anything.

Was there anything of snaith's that
you wanted? I don't know what you mean.

Evidence relating
to the events of 1990.

More incriminating footage.

I just wanted to talk to him.

No-one answered the front door, so you
just broke in the back way, is that right?

I know how it looks but the fact is, as soon
as I saw the door had been forced, I left.

Hmm, rather briskly.

I knew how it looked. A forensic examination
of snaith's house is currently in progress.

You'll be asked to provide
fingerprints and a DNA sample.

If you'd been in that
house, we'll know about it.

God, I'm gasping for a coffee!

Yeah, go on then. Listen, we just
had an email from the search team.

They found dealing quantities
of cocaine on the premises.

So snaith's doing
business, is he?

Maybe that's what lady Gloria's getting her
knickers in a twist about. We'll ask her.

They also found bloodstains,
not fresh. Same group as snaith.

First Eva, then snaith. Isn't it funny how people
tend to disappear when Don Maddox is around.

But if Maddox killed snaith some time ago,
what's he doing lurking round the house today?

Well, if we go with the blackmail
scenario - Maddox confronts snaith,

kills him and decides his first
priority is to get rid of the body.

Any chance of a coffee?

Oh, sorry. But he believes there may be compromising
material at snaith's house, so he goes round to check.

Have I given up
coffee or something?

Dave's been my dealer
for something like 20 years.

I can't go anywhere else, the
papers would crucify my husband.

I trust Dave. Well, it looks
like he's let you down now.

He wouldn't just leave
me without a stash!

Whenever he goes away he
makes sure I've got enough to get by.

I really, really need help.

Yeah, you do.

And when we're done here, I'll put
you in touch with a recovery programme.

You were in a very vulnerable
position with Dave snaith.

Did he ever try and extort extra cash from
you, by threatening to expose your problem?

Dave's a friend.

A dear, dear friend.
He's not a blackmailer!

Something must
have happened to him.

I've been worried about him ever since
he got involved with that little shit!

Sorry, who are we talking about?

Billy radford.

And why were you worried?

Radford beats him up.

Dave's had to go to
hospital more than once.

He won't involve the police and he
won't finish with that evil little creep.

Let's go.

He, he owes Dave everything.

Dave found him
in the gutter and...

Gave him his start
in the film business.

Cheers, Jack.
Radford's legged it.

Seen leaving his flat with a
backpack and a laptop bag.

Ok, tell them we'll
meet them at the studios.

Have you got that?

Yeah.

That is interesting. Right.

How do I turn this off?

Red button, Brian.

Gloria got it a
little bit wrong.

Billy radford wasn't in the gutter
before he got into the film industry.

He had a steady,
responsible job.

Doing what? He
worked in a mortuary.

Embalming cadavers and organs.

Sorry to drag you
out, miss Davenport.

But it's important.

Here's the warrant. Yes, ok.

We'll get the
lights switched on.

Ah! Yeah, this is where he was
working. What would they be made of?

Moulded resin, I
suppose. Hollow? Hm-mm.

I'm no expert, but I don't think
moulded resin smells of formaldehyde.

But an embalmed body would.

Well, whatever David
snaith was guilty of,

he's not going to
re-offend, is he?

Yeah, detective
superintendent Pullman, ucos.

I'm at pinewood studios.
We have a suspicious death.

Can you send in mit
a-s-a-p to my location?

Cheers.

So it's out of your
hands? The new inquiry is.

We're still on the cold case.

I bet when they invented the Internet they
didn't envisage websites for yo-yo enthusiasts.

You wanna see the video clips.

I think I'll give it a miss.

Speaking of matters cinematic, I'm convinced I
saw Lawrence of Arabia with Jimmy greenbanks.

Yes, so did I.

Eh?

What about all the
passionate kisses?

That was Jimmy, he
was very hot-blooded.

Well, he had
paid for the tickets.

And he bought me
a drink on a stick.

Trouble is, with all the snogging,
he missed half the picture,

so he had to go see it again
with you to find out what happened.

Why didn't you go with me?

Well, we only went out once.
How long was I supposed to wait?

I was training for
a major hill climb!

I was barely out of the saddle! You
wanted to get your priorities sorted.

Mind you, if you fancied taking me to the pictures
again after all these years, I don't mind.

Sit. Good boy.

I love a good film.

If you knew what went on in the
making of films, you wouldn't fancy them.

Same with sausages.

No, I'm sorry, sir, I just don't
think the team should be weakened,

especially when there have been
new developments in the inquiry.

Morning! Don't take your cycle clips
off, mate. We've been redeployed.

Eh? The team investigating
the snaith murder is short-handed

and ucos has been
prevailed upon to help out.

I'm lending them you and
Jack. I've made my views clear.

Of course, I fought tooth and nail to
keep the team together. But there it is.

I mean, you know as well as I do that we're
living in a world of mixed economy policing.

Giggling I'm perfectly serious.

I need to know that you
continue to be on message.

You've got used to doing things your own way
at ucos, but you're going to have to work

very hard to get up to speed with approved norms
and practices in a front-line investigation.

In the meantime, Brian,
new footage has been posted.

You'd better
take a look at that.

And then report to your action
manager in the murder investigation team.

Thank you, Gerry. Yep.

Oh, pervy!

I'm familiar with
this sort of stuff.

Vice squad! Yeah. Bdsm -
bondage, domination, sadomasochism.

Anything like this in
the shooting script? No.

Maybe Maddox is making
his own private porn movie.

Maybe he was
making a snuff movie.

Stone is killed because he
finds out and tries to interfere...

Snaith's the cameraman, he hangs onto the footage.
Radford discovers it and pulls it off snaith.

Snaith tries to stop him, gets killed.
So radford puts the black on Maddox.

Let's get round to the murder team
and tell them that we've cracked it. What?!

All we need is a
bit of proof, Jack.

Good luck! Luck?
We don't need luck.

We're up to speed on
approved norms and practices.

Black market policing.

Exactly.

Oh, at least there's
one friendly face here!

Hello, love. Not
all robo-cops then.

Hello, Emily! We're looking
for the action manager.

Yeah, we're the action men!

I'm the action
manager. Oh, right.

Congratulations. Follow me.

Now you might not be familiar with the action-led
inquiry system, so I'll run through it with you.

I issue the actions, which will then be
placed in your dedicated pigeonholes.

An action could be interviewing a particular witness,
collating and listing exhibits, and so forth.

Actually, Emily, we're more... If I could
just finish, I'll take any questions later.

Each action will be placed in
priority order - high, medium and low

and that's the order
that you'll deal with them.

The completed actions will be returned to my
office and I'll process them through the system.

The thing is, we can cut
through all this crap. Pardon?

We reckon snaith was killed
by his ex-boyfriend, radford,

cos snaith had material
radford wanted so he could

blackmail the chief suspect
in the ucos investigation.

A clapped out film director called
Maddox. It's all one case, really.

So you can leave it all to us. We'll find radford
and Bob's your uncle. And Fanny's your aunt.

You're not running
this investigation.

That is the senior investigating
officer's job. Ok? Understood.

We're up to speed. We're aware
of the ucos investigations findings.

Now, your actions have been
assigned, so... Welcome on board.

"Catalogue and conduct
preliminary examination of exhibits

"from search of
radford premises."

Yes, same here. "Priority low."

Never mind what was or wasn't
in the script, that's not the point.

I admit I haven't been
telling you the truth.

So do it now.

You have to understand
about Max stone,

he was a bit of a throwback. He acted like a Hollywood
mogul from the '30s and '40s. Meaning what, exactly?

He thought any actress in
one of his films was his property.

He couldn't take
no for an answer.

So you saw eye to eye with
him about some things, then?

It wasn't like that between
Eva and me. We were in love.

You believe that or not. The point is, stone pressured
Eva into joining in his perverted little games.

What sort of games?
Humiliation, bondage, s&m.

What you see in the footage.
But that's not Max stone, that's you.

I'm trying to explain.

Eva went along with it because she
knew shadow show was my last chance

and stone could have wiped
me out with a stroke of the pen,

and I did nothing to protect
her, for the same reason.

I wanted to see my name
on the marquee again.

Shadow show, a
film by Don Maddox.

I think I'd have
sold my soul for that.

Maybe I did. Yeah, but that still
doesn't explain about the clips.

We couldn't confront stone directly, but
we wanted to get even, in our own way.

So I set up the bootleg shoots, and we built
into them everything stone did and said to Eva.

You're saying it was a
re-enactment? Exactly. A wind-up,

embarrassing and humiliating the boss,
in front of everyone. I can relate to that.

Except stone barged
onto the set, of course.

He found out what we were doing,
and you saw the consequence.

If we were to believe
what you're telling us...

That gives you another motive
for killing him. But I didn't do it.

So who did? No idea.

I've told you all I know of it.

No, I don't think you have.

What happened to
Eva? Eva killed herself.

We all know that.

Why are you being blackmailed?
I'm not being blackmailed.

So why was the footage
posted on the Internet?

I don't know.

Mr Maddox, we
believe that David snaith

was killed because
of that footage.

Now, whoever did that thought
it was a little bit more significant

than a show-biz wind-up.

I can't help you any
further, I'm afraid.

He's not giving us the whole picture.
And he knows we know it, and he's rattled.

We could call in a surveillance
team, keep tabs on him.

How long would that take to
get going? A few days, at least.

Or we could just do it
ourselves, right now.

Yeah, we could, couldn't we?

Preliminary post-mortem and
medical records of David snaith.

You two making progress? Yes,
just booting up radford's computer now.

We only want a description of what's on the files.
Anything technical goes to computer forensics.

Absolutely. We're
totally on message.

Good.

Maddox is home.

He's got a big bag full of
goodies from fortnum & Mason's.

Maybe he's just going
to sit inside and pig out.

You'll just have to wait
and see, won't you?

I don't know try yoga,

or meditation.

No, Gerry I said meditation.

Hm, facefit. You mean Facebook.

No, no, this is something
else. Let's get it going.

What's all this in aid of?

It's facial
reconstruction software.

It's got forensic and
archaeological applications.

But you can see why radford would
find it useful, for creating prosthetics.

But he wouldn't be creating
prosthetics of Eva, would he?

No. What he's doing is
seeing what she'd look like in

various hairstyles and eye colours,
20 years after the original photo.

Here you go. Who
does that remind you of?

She's kind of familiar.

Now we're supposed to put
all this in our action report,

so that Emily can feed
it into the computer.

Well, that's what
we're supposed to do.

He's on the move and he's
coming in your direction.

Yeah, I see him. You
hold back, I'll take over.

Now where's he going?

This place is a bloody maze!

I bet that fortnum's
bag is full of folding.

This is a classic
pay-off scenario.

Mobile rings ah!

(Gerry standing.)

Jack and Brian, have gone awol!
They didn't complete their action reports,

all they did was leave me a note
with the oldest excuse in the book,

"on enquiries."

(Emily, I can't talk now,
I'm on enquiries. Turn it off!)

Lotte's here. She's checked
out the keys for block a.

The scene of the crime.

Maddox speaks from inside

I can hear Maddox talking.

Radford must have
sneaked in already.

Go on.

Oh. Oh, Christ, it's the
wicked witch of the west.

What's going on? What
does it bloody look like?

And what business
is it of yours?

If this is just a clandestine
naughty, what's the wedge in aid of?

These are private premises,
we're not breaking any laws,

so take your hands off
my property and piss off!

Don't talk to us like that... Gerry.
I think we're out of order, here.

We made a mistake.

Sorry.

Get back!

Bloody hell! What
we going to do?

We'll have to send
for armed back-up.

Well, that's fine, but what
we going to do right now?

This really screws things up. It's
all there. Take the money and go.

Gerry: I got to hand it to you,
Billy, you really got the drop on us.

Do us a favour, tell us the truth, why is
he paying you off? What have you got on him?

Keep your mouth shut.
You've been really clever, Billy.

You've sussed out what was going on here
and you've got Don Maddox by the balls.

Billy she's just stalling
till her mates arrive.

Shut it! All of you!

Just let me think!

Phone rings

Leave it! Security
knows I'm here. Leave it!

If I don't answer
they'll investigate.

Go on then, deal with it!

Lotte Davenport.

It's for you, Billy.

It's the police.
They're outside.

They know you're here.

You'd better
talk to them, Billy,

or they'll come in with all guns
blazing and then god help us.

Sit down.

'Hello, Billy.'

this is Jack
halford. Now listen.

Armed police are
surrounding the premises.

We're anxious to resolve this
situation without harming anyone.

So we are going to
send you a negotiator.

Brian Lane, Billy.
I've come to talk.

We've got plenty of time,
Billy, there's no pressure.

Can I take me hands down, Billy?

I get a bit rheumatic
in awkward... Postures.

Yeah.

A bit old for this, aren't you?

You never said a truer
word. I am indeed, son.

And you know what?

My big ambition
is to get a lot older.

So I'll be looking to sort this
out without anyone getting hurt

and I believe that's what
you want too, Billy, isn't it?

Well, it depends.

Yes, of course. Bit of give
and take from both sides,

that's what negotiation's
all about, eh?

Well, first off, I'm really
pleased to see that

everyone here's safe and sound.

You, Billy.

Sandra, Gerry, Don...

And Eva.

Anyway... I've got one
suggestion, for openers, Billy.

I know you won't want
to give up the gun just yet,

you still need to be in control,
that, that's understandable,

but how about if you
didn't actually point it?

I'd certainly feel
a lot more relaxed,

and that's the way to
do business, isn't it?

All right.

So what have you
got to say to me?

Thank you, Billy.

I'm feeling better already.

Can you hang on a minute?
We're trying something.

I know where you're
coming from, Billy.

Desperate situation,
desperate measures,

but things aren't as
desperate as you think.

Don't try and
bullshit me! I'm not!

You beat Dave snaith up
one last time, didn't you?

You know very well what I did.

I'm a murderer.

I'm going inside for 20 years.

Billy, listen... You
couldn't negotiate shit!

You can tell your mates
you've screwed up!

I want a car outside, in two
minutes, otherwise I start shooting.

She'll be first. Listen, son!
Leave it, Gerry, we're still talking!

Billy, listen to what I'm
saying or you'll be dead tonight,

along with god knows who else.

That's not a
threat, it's a fact.

Billy, I've seen Dave
snaith's medical records.

He had a history of
degenerative heart disease.

He'd been warned by a specialist
that he needed urgent surgery,

and he'd refused. He
could have died at any time.

You saying I'm not
on offer for murder?

I'm saying things
could be a lot worse.

What you need,
son, is a good lawyer.

Billy...

When you're in a
hole, just stop digging.

You could do yourself some good.

Come on, son. It's
all over, you know that.

I'll be leaving here
in about ten minutes.

Well, done, Brian! I didn't know
you were a trained negotiator, Brian.

Yes, he went on a course.
Oh, right, didn't realise.

But he failed. When it came to
the final role-play, everyone got shot!

Win some, lose some.

So, why did you
have to disappear?

Don't say anything.
It's over, Don.

All right, you can
have the truth.

I killed Max stone, it's all
down to me. I'm responsible...

Stop it! You can't do this!

After stone stopped the filming,
I went to the office and, well,

the argument started again and I
stabbed the bastard, and I'm not sorry...

This is all rubbish! Shut up!

No, you shut up for a change.

Max called me
into his office and...

He said he was going to
destroy Don. (Don't do this!)

And... and he said he was going
to do things to me that I'd be too

ashamed to think about, never
mind put on film. Don't do this! Don't.

And he started, then and there.

And I lost it.

Oh, I lost it!

And there was Max on
the floor of his office and...

I was covered in blood.

You're saying you killed him?

Yes.

Ok, what happened then?

Eva called me.

I... cleaned the prints
off the scissors and...

Smuggled her out of the studios
before the alarm was raised.

But you came back here to work?

I hid out for a while,

I travelled, I took
cash in hand jobs,

but Don was brilliant, he
was always there for me.

And after a few years I realised
that the movie business was...

The only life I knew.

The studio was a place we could
meet without anyone asking questions.

I knew I was rubbish
as an actress and...

I never, ever, wanted
to be a film star.

But I could do the
back-office stuff.

You do yourself
an injustice, Eva.

You played a blinder as lotte
Davenport for nearly 20 years.

Oh, no.

Eva was the performance.

Lotte is me.

I went back to my normal
weight, I let my hair grow out.

It was like being
released from a jail.

Ready, ma'am.

Cheers. However long
it takes, I'll be waiting.

I know.

Hello, love. Don't "love" me. I'm
here to complain to your guv'nor!

Eh? Jack and Brian.
They're due for a bollocking!

You're not still going
on about that, are you?

Look we got a result, didn't we?

What you and your mates have never understood, is
that results don't make up for sloppy procedure!

Cheer up! It's not as if they did anything
dodgy, they just worked a bit of a flanker.

I'm not having two old chancers working
flankers round me! I want them disciplined!

Emily, they're
civilians like me!

What do they care if there's
a note on their records?

You give them an official
bollocking they'll either shrug it off,

or give you a two-fingered salute
and walk. No-one wants that, do they?

Something's got to be done.

Well, there's some good old-fashioned, cid
methods for dealing with situations like this...

I've had enough of old-fashioned
cid methods! No, listen.

I know where to hit
them where it really hurts.

Yeah? Yeah!

But the idea never came
from me, you understand?

Another terrific result for the ucos team and
what this demonstrates conclusively, Fiona,

is that the ucos methodology can deliver on, on
current inquiries just as well as cold cases.

Oh, really? Let me run some of
the key strategic decisions past you.

This is a nice do, Emily.

Can we make a
contribution? Oh, no, thanks.

That's all taken care of.
Really? Who stumped up?

Jack and Brian. It's their
fine for misbehaving on duty.

Gerry: Good
old-fashioned cid tradition!

Gerry: Cheers, boys!
Thanks for your generosity!

My pleasure. Enjoy!

Go on, let's have a go!
Used to win prizes at this.

Look.

Walking the dog! You know, I had
Don Maddox down as a total shit.

But what he did was kind
of romantic, really, wasn't it?

There's no law that says a
total shit can't be romantic.

Is that right, Gerry?
