All language subtitles for Scott and Bailey S04E08

I'm here to find out where you're up
to so I can assess the best approach
for this investigation.

I want to arrest Evie Pritchard.

- On suspicion of? - I think she's
keeping slaves.

We can't prove it yet. We can prove
false imprisonment. Arrest her.

Are you sure you want to do that?
Today? Her husband died today.

- Separate thing. - We're under
investigation for it.

The Pritchards had three men locked
in a shed in appalling conditions.
They were living like animals.

If I was Evie I'd say none of that
had anything to do with me.

I'd say my nasty husband, who's now
conveniently dead, kept them in
there.

We've got what Sandy said to us.

Could you tell us a bit more about
Mike and Dez?

- Are they in trouble? - No.

- I'm not, am I? - Not at all, no.

- I don't like being in trouble. - No.

Well... well... well,

Mike and Dez live in the caravan. We
live in the shed.

Mike did.

Mike didn't mind the shed.

Dez come and he said I'm not living
in this.

Went on and on till they put him in
the caravan.

Mike said he should be in the
caravan, he was the first.

So they both went in there.

Mike was the first?

Been at Evie's longest.

- How long? - Long time.

I've been living at Evie's a long
time. Mike was there before me.

- Do you work at Evie's? - Work at
Evie's, yeah.

- Who burnt the caravan? - We don't
know.

I smelt it last night. Burning
smell.

Tell me about the work that you do
at Evie's.

All sorts.

What do you get paid?

Never talk about money or politics.

You can tell us.

Well... well... well,

£30 on a Friday.

Then I buy my drinks and smokes and
that.

- Where do you buy them? - Off of Evie.

Can he leave? Is he free to leave
that farm?

He says he doesn't want to.

She's like a mum to me is Evie.

Don't tell but I'm her favorite.

So why aren't you in the caravan then?

Well... well... well,

squeaky wheel gets the oil.

- Dez. - Yeah.

You smelt the caravan burn. You
didn't see anything cos you were in
the shed. Did you hear anything?

Bang.

You heard a bang.

Cal's got a gun. I've seen it.

- When have you seen it? - If he's
annoyed at us...

he waves it about. Says he'll bang
it.

He's not a bad man, Cal, not bad.

How reliable do you think Sandy is?

- I don't know. - Is he aware Mike's
dead and Cal's dead?

Our policy with getting his first
account was not to tell him.

- We will, obviously. - Have you found a
gun? - No.

- A gun didn't show up when you did a
background? - No gun license, no.

What about the other two in the shed
with Sandy?

They also have learning
difficulties. They're less lucid,
more vulnerable.

They're alcohol-dependent. Social
services are looking after them,
want them to have more time.

- Do we know who they are? - First
names, according to Sandy. Not
confirmed.

- How long they've been there?
- Sandy's very hazy on dates.

It's possible Greenholme's been at
the Pritchards

since he left his family 15 years
ago, half an hour up the road.

Is that possible?

- What about Dez? - So far no idea.

Mm.

OK. My assessment is it's two
investigations.

Forced labor, which is what this
looks like.

Five victims at least, by the sound
of it.

Murder investigation into the death
of Mike Greenholme. Nothing
conclusively links the two.

I disagree. Sandy says Dez wasn't
happy with the living arrangements,

which is why he ended up in the
caravan.

The living arrangements are tied up
with the working conditions. Forced
labor.

Dez shared the caravan with Mike.

Mike is dead. Murdered. Dez is
missing, possibly because he's dead.

Possibly cos he whacked Mike and
legged it, which still links the
two.

The caravan's been destroyed. Cal
Pritchard, who's in charge of the
men, owns them or whatever,

did a run for it when we turned up
asking about Mike,

- possibly to ditch a murder weapon.
- Baseball bat's at the lab.

It's one investigation.

Let's get results on the bat before
talking to Evie.

If we don't arrest her, she won't
talk to us. She'll walk out.

- She's up to her eyes. - She's the only
person who could've cleaned the
blood off the ground at the farm.

The others were locked in the shed.
Why do that unless she thought it
was incriminating?

There's so much we don't know.

We don't even know Mike sustained
his injury at the farm. His body was
on the moors.

We need background on Evie Pritchard,

Cal Pritchard, the farm finances,
these men.

- If this is one investigation... - It
is.

...it's a massive one. Sprawling.
Multi-agency.

We need to talk to Serious and
Organised Crime, Human Trafficking
Center, social services.

Totally agree. Bring it on

- We need to gather ourselves. - We
don't want Evie to gather herself.
She's a suspect.

I want to arrest her and talk to her
now while it's hot.

OK, Mrs. Pritchard, if you'd like to
follow us.

Scrawny cow. Look at you, you're a
bag of bones.

Huh. Are you not getting it?

Is that why you're so miserable, hm?

Bet you haven't had a jump in years.
Who'd want it?

Be like shagging a ladder.

Who ate all the pies, eh? Fat,
baldy, slaphead.

Eh? I bet you can't see your dick.
It's lost in all that flab, innit?

Would you do her? Yeah?

No. You're not getting it either,
are you?

You want to be treated with respect?
Yeah?

So do I.

You told my colleagues you didn't
know Mike Greenholme and you said
the same to me.

I don't.

We've been told he not only worked
but also lived at your farm

by another man who says he works and
lives at your farm.

- Would you like to tell us anything
about that? - No.

The man who told us that was one of
the three men we found locked in a
shed at your farm.

- Do you know anything about that? - No.

Well, those three men all wore
overalls and had shaved heads.

Same as Mike Greenholme.

Who's watching?

- The senior investigating officer.
- Likes to watch, does he?

Hello.

Mike Greenholme's been found dead.

Would you like to tell us anything
about that?

You've been talking to Sandy,
haven't you?

Anything Sandy said is rubbish. He's
a fantasy man.

- What's your relationship with Sandy?
- Shit off.

Is he employed by you, Mrs. Pritchard?

Is he employed by you, Mrs. Pritchard?

Cheeky bitch.

The fire services were called to the
farm last night because a caravan
was on fire.

Could you tell me about last night?

Last night I had a husband.

I have nothing else to say to these
people. No comment.

Evie says no.

If you charge her you won't be able
to ask her those questions again.

Let's charge her with false
imprisonment, stick her in a cell
tonight,

put her before the magistrates
tomorrow, get a technical bail on
the forced labor

but get her remanded in custody for
false imprisonment. Otherwise she's
out causing trouble.

Do you mean trouble to you and your
team? That's not a sound reason -

I mean I don't want to bail a woman
who's possibly looking at a life
sentence cos I think she'll abscond.

Forget that. We've got enough to
charge her so we charge her. Pro
facie.

Are you sure it's a good idea for you
to be doing this?

We are doing it. We've begun.

Passing it on to another syndicate
will delay things. If you were me
you'd do the same.

I'm not drinking at work.

It was a one-off. I'm fine.

You'd better be.

Follow your nose. Pursue it as one
investigation.

Keep me in the loop. Hm?

She was shouting her head off in her
cell and singing Bonnie Tyler.

Have you got to organize your mum's
funeral?

No, our Alison's doing it.

I'd said I'd clear her things out of
her flat.

- I'll come with you if you like. - Ta.

I thought you'd be asleep.

Every time I shut my eyes I'm trying
to resuscitate him again.

Try putting the radio on almost a
bit too quiet.

- Good one. Well, night-night. - 'Night.

Internal Affairs want to know when's
a convenient time to interview me.

Of course. They have to look at what
we did.

Who told Janet and Chris to go to
the farm? What checks had been made?

The buck stops with us as supervisors.

Me in the end but you're in it as
well. That's what being sergeant
means.

The sniffer dog handler's traced
Mike from the farm to the moors.

- Looks like he wandered off bleeding
to where he died. - That's a leap
forward. - Big leap.

GILL: Janet!

- We can put Mike's murder at the farm
even though he didn't die there.
- Mitch said.

- So Rachel's thinking... - Let's see if
the sniffer dogs can trace Dez.

If Dez also left the farm that
night, where did he go?

How will you get something with his
scent? Presumably his stuff was in
the caravan, burnt.

Don't know. I'll talk to the CSM,
get the search team on to it.

Listen, both of you are being looked
at.

Rachel for failing to risk-assess
the Pritchard Farm, you for this
crash.

I don't want you anywhere near Evie,
Janet, for obvious reasons

- or anywhere near the evidence chain,
so I'm putting you to work on
background. - OK.

Slavery, forced labor - get clever
about all that so you can produce a
briefing paper.

Keep on at social services to get
IDs on these men, timings, the lot.

- Work with Chris. - Fine. - I'm happy for
you to continue to work with Evie.

- We need to go. - How long will these
investigations into us take?

Months. This is what I want to say
to you, both of you,

don't dwell on it, just get on with
the work.

How are you doing today?

I am trying to decide to be OK.

- You? - Fine. - Good.

Police college came up trumps.
Contact details for three independent
experts on slavery and forced labor

- and a phone number for the national
expert. Don't know how he got the
prize. - Ask him.

- Rache, how did you get on? - The
magistrates bailed her.

- What? - The solicitor said she's got no
previous.

She's got surety. She's staying with
her cousin, he's putting up bail.

They said she needed time to grieve.
No justification for keeping her in
custody.

- She's not a threat to the community.
- ...to check she's done it.

- If she hasn't send a car... - Oi! - ...To
her cousin's and arrest her.

- No respect! You think that you can
lock me up, do you? - Calm down.

- I'm the victim here! - Calm down.

Get your hands off my officer!

What's going on?

Total pain in the neck.

Mitch will watch Evie Pritchard like
a hawk to make sure she complies

with these reporting restrictions
and doesn't do a bunk.

Update on the search of the farm.

It's a five-acre plot. It's a
massive task.

Concentrating for now on the house,
the shed and this burnt-out caravan.

- Lee. - We were hoping for evidence to
put Mike and Dez at the caravan.

Nothing. It's ash, basically.

They're saying we can rule out a
body having been burnt in there cos
they'd have found teeth.

There's a heap of wellies in the
shed and a pair could be Dez's.

There's a D scratched on. We've
given that to the sniffer dogs.

If they can't get a scent off a
welly, sack 'em.

If it's Dez's. Given that we're
nowhere close to even knowing who
Dez is, I'm not laughing.

- Carry on. - In the kitchen -

- Is that the baseball bat results?
- Yeah.

The blood and tissue on it is
Greenholme's. Looks like it is our
murder weapon.

- Brilliant. - Two sets of prints on it,
in Mike's blood,

Cal Pritchard's and another.

We checked the second set on the
system. Desmond McLynn. Dez.

- Possibly. - Desmond McLynn.

29 years of age. Oldham lad. Plenty
of previous.

GBH. He glassed someone in a club. So
he won't be shy about braining
someone with a baseball bat.

Anyway, the patterning's interesting.

Cal's prints are gripping the handle
of the bat, like that.

Dez's are gripping the body of the
bat, like that.

Either grip could do it. You could
swing to someone's head

- or you could ram it. - You'd have a
better grip holding it Cal's way.

Find out where McLynn's been, when
he was last released from prison.

Where was he before he went to the
Pritchards'? Has he gone back there?

- Yeah. - Boss, the search team found a
notebook at the back of a kitchen
drawer.

A ledger. Evie's scribbled down when
the men buy things from her and what
they owe her.

- That's gold dust. - Yeah, it might tell
us when Dez joined them.

- We know from Sandy - - Even without
that it's gold dust.

One of the key indicators of forced
labor

is the worker being dependent on one
person for all of his needs.

Work, home, food, clothing, alcohol,
whatever.

We've had Sandy say it. This proves
it.

It might even prove wage manipulation.

There's the underwork scam. You
recruit too many workers

and give them enough work to meet
their debt to you but no more.

The two other men who were in the
shed are starting to open up to
social services.

They are called Furquan and Zain, as
Sandy said.

Furquan Badini and Zain Dasti.

Did either of them hear a gun?

We need to be talking to them now.

Let's inform all three slaves that
Cal is dead, that Mike is dead. See
what that does.

Chris and Janet to look over this
ledger. If it's that incriminating

- I want to rearrest Evie on suspicion
of forced labor today, see what she
says. - Today? - Today.

I want to keep up the pressure on her.

- Is that a no? - It is a no.

- Why? - We're colleagues. - Colleagues
can have dinner.

- You're on the rebound. - Still need to
eat. - You're being disingenuous.

Dinner is not just dinner. You know
that as well as I do. And your timing
is off, seriously off.

OK.

I need to show you something.

Sure.

Course it's mine.

I wrote it.

It's got the names of five men in
there - Mike, Furquan, Zain, Sandy,
Dez.

- I can read, you know. - Five men you
kept at your farm, working for next
to no money.

I looked after them.

- They weren't free to leave. - Course
they were.

- Three were locked in a shed. - They
were living on the streets before.

Furquan said you picked him up at a
soup kitchen eight years ago.

That's right. Gave him a job.

That's trafficking.

He got in the car.

It's trafficking because you gained
his consent through deception.

You told him he'd be earning £300 a
week and living in a flat.

- He got paid. - He told us he worked up
to 50 hours a week for up to £30

from which you deducted everything
he supposedly owed you.

He did owe me. They all did. I kept
them in alcohol and tobacco.

- They were housed, clothed, fed. - They
had to shit in a bucket.

What do you do when you see a
homeless person on the street?

Walk by? I've done nothing wrong.

You've admitted, now we've put this
notebook in front of you, that you
do know Mike Greenholme.

Mrs. Pritchard, we're conducting a
murder enquiry into Mike's death.

We have proof that he received his
fatal injury at your farm.

Is there anything you'd like to say?

- I haven't got a clue what you're
talking about. - Do you have any idea
where Dez might be?

- No. - We know he was at your farm two
days ago - Friday -

because you sold him six cigarettes
and you wrote it down there.

- Do you or your husband own a gun?
- No.

OK.

We've got a problem.

- What? - Not here.

My name's Evie Pritchard.

The way I've been treated by
Manchester Metropolitan Police is
absolutely disgusting.

I've been intimidated. I've been
treated with contempt.

I've got no criminal record and I've
done nothing wrong.

And they've locked me up, arrested me.

On the day... on the day they killed
my husband in a car chase.

One of them did that. The other one
locked me in a police van.

And the woman in charge,

the senior investigating officer,

stinks of booze.

- These are the people...
- Did she stink of booze?

I didn't notice. Has she seen this?

Not yet.

The sniffer dog trail drew a blank.
Dez never left the farm.

He's not alive, we'd have found him,
so where's the body?

You'd stick it somewhere nasty
people wouldn't look.

I don't want to let Evie Pritchard
go. Keep her talking after the meal
break. Let's ask her -

What's wrong?

PRITCHARD: ...senior investigating
officer, stinks of booze.

- - When's she done that?

- Today, after the magistrates'. - Who's
seen it? - A few people.

- Has everyone seen it? - A few people -

I want the ground to swallow me up.

- Look, it's an over-the-top rant. - From
a raging madwoman.

You were involved in a crash that
killed Cal - not like she's telling
it but you were.

Rachel did send her in a van to the
hospital - for good reason but she
did.

Why would anyone think what she says
about me is the only lie in the
bunch?

Well, is it?

I asked the clerk which magistrate
was on. He said Framington.

I thought Framington'll bail Evie,
he bails everyone. I felt...

nervous.

I took myself off to the loo.

I had a drink. Stupid.

Stupid.

What if she makes a formal complaint?

She won't.

She will. She'll want the drama.

She'll want to punish. Evie knows she
won't walk free.

She'll do maximum damage as she goes
down.

Yeah.

She's grieving but I met her before
Cal died and she was screwy.

She's a manipulator. She needs to
dominate.

That's why she got a kick out of
lording it over a band of misfits.

No, they did it for the money. Cal
was mean as sin.

Started with cattle, switched to
chickens but wouldn't pay to improve
his sheds.

EU thing two years ago. If you
didn't keep battery hens in bigger
cages you got shut down.

They got shut down. Then they
started sending the men out to clear
rubbish,

felling trees. Making money any old
way.

Why did no-one think something was
wrong and report it?

Because they're tight too. Wanted a
job done cheap, no questions asked.

People are despicable, Janet. You're
not quite getting the hang of this.

No, I am. The Pritchards recruited
men who'd fallen through the cracks.

Who wouldn't run because they had
nowhere to go.

They couldn't go back to where they
were from because it had gone wrong.

Listen. I've got a bit of a situation
with Chris.

Go on.

He left a flapjack on my desk this
morning.

- Right. - And, well, I haven't said
anything.

- Why? - Well, I feel a bit...

I don't know. I feel a bit
embarrassed.

- Are you sure it was him? - Who else
there would know how to make a
flapjack?

- It was very nice. - So you've said
nothing?

Mm.

- Neither has he. - You've really thrown
me off here, Janet.

If a man put a flapjack on my desk
I'd run a mile, obviously.

- You're meant to be the well-adjusted
one. -

Thing is I was going to say something
but then he asked me out.

- Out out? - Yeah, and I just thought
that -

- Is there anything in the cupboard
for indigestion? - Let's have a look.

I was ever so sorry to hear about
your mum, Rachel.

- So sad. - Oh, thanks.

- Really sad. - Well, I don't feel
anything really.

Ah. Perhaps it's just delayed.

No, the thing is, Dorothy, I didn't
like her.

In your own way you did.

You will have deep down.

You will.

Here, Mum, try these.

They're both good.

Janet.

- Is Gill in? - I don't think she is in,
no.

- I take it you've seen Evie's rant?
- Yes. - Has Gill seen it? - Yes.

She's not answering her phone.

If a drinking allegation against Gill

turns up in the shape of a formal
complaint from that woman,

- I will be compelled to come clean
about the concerns you expressed
last week, OK? - OK.

We bloody well should have done
something about it at the time.

- Is this investigation falling apart
or does it just feel like it? - I
don't think so, no.

- Tell Gill to ring me as soon as she
can. - Will do.

Gill's phoned in sick. Food
poisoning.

- Have you ever known her take a day
off sick? - RACHEL: No.

No, I didn't share that with Dodson
when she came prowling around

saying she thinks the investigation's
falling apart. She's seen Evie's
rant. Everyone has.

- The gossip machine's gone into
overdrive. - I'll try and talk to Gill.

I'll be in in... 40 minutes.

- OK. - Bye.

RUFUS: Hiya, love. How are you
getting on?

Nearly done.

Found anything nice for yourself?

I wasn't expecting to.

She was my sunshine.

- Right. - Would you mind if I asked you
a favor, sweetheart?

- I'm not giving you money. - It's only
fair.

I looked after her.

She wasn't easy.

I looked after your mummy so you
wouldn't have to.

No, what you did was you got her to
the lowest point she ever got.

She shouldn't have ended up like
this. She could sing.

She could've sung.

What have you ever done? Hm?

Inherited a house and drank in it.

Forget money cos I wouldn't give you
the shit off my shoe.

That's for every woman you've ever
put in hospital.

Useless... scumbag.

Don't you dare show your face at the
funeral.

I feel different. I feel freed.

- Did you break any bones? - I don't
know. Possibly.

You can take the Rachel out the
Bailey but you can't take the Bailey
out of the Rachel.

Who's seen Evie Pritchard's little
film?

I'm assuming everyone.

Some of you are probably going, 'I
had no idea the boss had a drink
problem'

and some of you are probably going,
'I did spot some tell-tale signs,
actually, in hindsight.'

Just forget that.

The reason we all wanted to work on
this syndicate is because of Gill's
reputation.

You don't get a reputation like that
for nothing.

It's slogged for. It's 30 years of
being good at the job.

It's up to us to protect it because
we know her.

So if anyone asks you about DCI
Murray stinking of booze, don't
play.

Just say, 'No, it's rubbish' and
shut it down.

- Do we know who's going to replace
her when her 30 days are up? - No.

There's a rumor that a few
candidates have applied from Cheshire
but...

- So, has she got food poisoning? - If
that's what she says, that's what
she's got.

Right. Evie Pritchard remains in
custody.

We've got her till 3pm on the PACE
clock.

We've got very little solid evidence
and she's giving nothing away.

CSIs are scouring the Pritchard farm
for the concealed body of Desmond
McLynn.

I think that body is potentially our
key to Evie.

- Desmond McLynn, Dez, was released
from Strangeways in November -

DS Bailey's phone.
This is DC Janet Scott.

- Yeah. - Dez started showing up at a
homeless hostel in Oldham just
before Christmas.

They never saw him after the 5th of
January.

January 19th is when he crops up for
the first time on Evie's ledger

and he's in there regularly up until
last Friday.

Evie manages to keep him in debt
even though, as you can see, he buys
less and less from her.

She always comes up with something
he owes her for.

- He never gets paid. - Let's bring
Sandy back in.

- Chris, you speak to him with Janet.
- OK.

They've found a body at the farm.

They've got the body out of the
septic tank. I've just seen it.

It's a man. Can't really see much
else.

Boss, can you ring me?

I need you.

The last time you came in you said
Dez was a squeaky wheel, do you
remember?

Nothing's ever good enough for him.

I don't think things were good
enough. You were all treated very
badly.

I think the way that you were treated
is against the law.

If someone works for you, you have to
pay them properly with a contract.

- Evie looked after us. - Did you ever
go to the dentist

in all the time you lived at the
Pritchards? Or a doctor?

- Evie sorted it. - Well, Evie had to.

If she'd taken you to a doctor the
doctor would have said 'Where does
Sandy live?'

and she couldn't tell anyone because
you weren't living and working for
her and Cal legally.

- She keeps me out of trouble. - She was
keeping herself out of trouble.

Is Evie in trouble now?

She is.

Evie didn't kill Mike. I did.

That's a very serious thing to admit
to, Sandy.

Well... well... well, I admit to it.

- Could you tell us a bit more? - I shot
Mike with Evie's gun. Bang.

Sandy, Mike wasn't shot.

Buckshot. I don't see what else that
could be.

- Is it possible it's just one
cartridge load of pellets? - Yep.

The patterning's wide so it can't
have been at close range.

That's the one that did for poor old
Dez.

Gill doesn't get ill.

Sandy was a bit crestfallen we
wouldn't arrest him

but he did let slip that it's Evie
who owns and uses a shotgun, not Cal.

CSIs are prioritizing the search for
that gun.

We need to focus on exactly what
happened the night of the murder.

- What do we know? - The fire services
arrived just after 1am.

The fire was burnt-out by then. The
Pritchards didn't call them, a
motorist did.

- They wouldn't have wanted anyone
turning up. - Presumably it all kicked
off before that.

I reckon it was a big boozy brawl.

The fire officers said Cal was
intoxicated.

The postmortem on Mike Greenholme
showed high levels of alcohol.

Let's see what the PM on Dez shows
when it's complete.

What about the postmortem on Cal?

- As in alcohol levels? - Yeah. - High.

Far too high to drive safely.

A baseball bat is something you keep
to defend yourself with.

- I reckon Cal ran out the house with
the bat. - Why?

- Dez and Mike were fighting? - Cal told
the fire lads he dropped a fag in the
caravan which started the fire

but I reckon that's what Mike and Dez
did.

I think the fire got Cal out of the
house with his bat.

There was a scuffle between Cal and
Dez with the bat.

- One of them lamps Mike. I would say
Cal. - Mike stumbles off.

Someone - Evie or Cal - shoots Dez.

Mike could have shot Dez before he
wandered off.

Did we take Evie's clothes when she
first came in after the crash?

Yes.

Need a word.

Evie Pritchard's made an official
complaint against Gill.

Evie wants it resolving formally

so Gill's off the case and you're
going to head it up.

- As SIO? - Yeah. No-one else can do it.

I know it's huge

which is why I suggested treating it
as two separate investigations.

With hindsight, I possibly should've
insisted but... I didn't.

Anyway, you're the only one who
knows it inside out.

I'll be the SIO in name, but you'll
be running it.

I'll come to the briefings, look at
the HOLMES. I won't do the
day-to-day stuff.

You're capable.

What's your take on Evie Pritchard?

- I think we should let her go. - Why?

She's extremely clever. Very strong.

Every time we slip up, she gets
stronger. She thrives on it.

We suspect Evie murdered Dez. She
knows that but she doesn't know we
found his body.

If we charge her without strong
enough evidence, CPS'll say that
we've fitted her up

because we didn't want the
anticlimax of having a dead person,

Mike or Cal, responsible for Dez's
murder.

- What about the forced labor side of
things? - Slow progress but progress.

I think we should hold out.

She's about to retire.

She's being investigated. While
she's subject to a complaint

she needs permission to retire from
the assistant chief constable

and while the complaint looks like
it may be substantiated...

...they might not let her.

It shouldn't take long to
investigate me. It's not sub judice.

- Evie's offences aren't tied up with
her complaint. - They are.

She committed offences so she's doing
all she can to divert attention.

There's no legal correlation.

If it was sub judice, the complaint
wouldn't be pursued till after her
court case.

Why the hell did you send her home?

We'll get a result. We will.

Anyway, I'm owed some leave so I
won't be coming in for a bit.

What are you going to say when they
question you?

If I lie... that lie won't go away.

Evie'll get to court and the defense
will ask about the complaint, had I
been drinking.

And I'll lie in court. And every
time the question crops up, I'll
lie.

It's not just my lie. You know I had
a drink in the toilets at the
magistrates'.

I told you. Both of you.

- But we won't breathe a word about
it. - That's three people lying.

That's you launching your brilliant
career as a sergeant on a lie.

Say you don't lie. Say you say,
'Hands up, I had a drink. I was
nervous.

I wasn't drunk by any stretch but I
had a drink.'

Say you tell them you've been... off
kilter.

What's that supposed to mean? Off
kilter?

- Will you swear something to me?
- Depends.

I'm asking you as friends.

- Yeah. - Yeah. - When you're interviewed
about me and this complaint,

which you will be, swear to me
you'll say exactly what you know.

- You lied for me. - Completely
different.

- We want to help you. - It would be
helping me.

I will not make a conspiracy,
Rachel. I'm not going out on a lie.

- I stopped smoking overnight,
remember? - Mm.

So don't worry about me ending up a
lush. I won't.

It'll stop when the job does.

I was fine when I first came back
after Helen Bartlett.

- I know you were. - I was fine for
months and then I couldn't get it
out of my head.

- Flashbacks? - No. If I'd locked my car
when I took my trolley back,

like any normal person with their
head screwed on, none of it would've
happened.

She wouldn't have died. I wouldn't
have nearly died.

Thousands of pounds of tax payers'
money wouldn't have been squandered.

And if I could make such a basic
mistake, how many other mistakes
could I make?

- I lost my nerve. - Is that when you
decided to retire?

Yeah, but I strung it out cos I was
waiting for the right time

- which is cretinous because... - There
is no right time. - Yeah.

- There's just now. - Exactly.

That really is rich coming from you,
that little pearl of wisdom.

Sorry?

What are you waiting for, Janet?

- In what way? - Every way.

- We can get Evie right now with this
lot. - Only partially

and I don't think Rachel's in the
mood for partially.

- I do fancy you. - Oh. OK, good.

It is good, actually, because the
thing is generally I go for tall men.

- I like redheads. - There you go. - Can't
have it all. - No.

- So is that a yes for dinner? - It is.
- OK.

- Why are we waiting? - I don't know.

What a shame they wouldn't let your
brother come out for the day.

- It is his fault, Dorothy, he
assaulted a prison officer. - Oh,
dear.

- Gill coming? - She's got a work thing.

I see we offered you counseling
after you were abducted.

- I see you stopped going. Is that
right? - Yes.

- Can you run through where you're up
to in your welfare program? - Um...

- I'm not. - Are you going to your GP?
- No.

- How are you coping? - I cope.

- When you stopped going to
counseling were you offered an
alternative? - No.

Did someone from welfare get in touch?

No.

We've questioned DS Dodson and a few
of your colleagues to get some
background.

Drinking on duty, as you know, is a
sackable offence.

Hiya, love. The one before us is
still going off cos the door to the
cremator got stuck.

You should get your money back.
They're meant to provide a dignified
ceremony.

My mother was an attention-seeking
car crash so this is perfect.

Hi, Mitch.

So pick her up. Yes, now.

I'm on my way back. So's Janet. Bye.

We can arrest Evie Pritchard for
murder. Forensics are back.

- Alison, we've got to go. - You're
joking. - Will you be OK?

- I'll get Dorothy home. - Thank you.
- Sorry.

What I'd like to focus on today is
the specific complaint

made against you by Mrs. Pritchard.

The specific complaint is that

when you spoke to her at the
magistrates' you were drunk.

Were you drunk?

No, I was not drunk.

I don't think we've supported you
enough.

I'd like to offer you more welfare.

I don't want welfare. I want to be
allowed to retire.

- What time did you go to bed on the
Friday night? - Ten o'clock.

- What time did you wake up? - Eight
o'clock.

- Did you wake up during the night?
- No.

A fire engine came to the farm at
just after 1am.

- I slept through. - Your bedroom is on
the side of the house nearest the
caravan.

Did you hear any noises from the
caravan or nearby?

Can you hear noises when you're
asleep? I can't.

A witness reported hearing a gun
being fired. Did you hear a gun?

I heard nothing and saw nothing
until eight o'clock the following
morning.

And what did you hear and see then?

Cal, passed out on a chair.

- What time did Cal wake up? - I don't
remember.

When he woke up can you remember
what you talked about?

We didn't. If I'd known he was going
to be dead by lunchtime I'd have
made the effort.

Have you got anything on me?

Cos I'm sick of looking at your
fucking face!

And yours.

Challenge her, challenge her now.

We found the body of Desmond McLynn
in your septic tank.

He was shot at a range of ten meters
with 00 gauge buckshot from a
shotgun.

- We recovered that gun from the
septic tank. Lab results show your
fingerprints are on it. - It's my gun.

- Yes. - Now she's got a gun. - Your
fingerprints are on the manhole
cover to the septic tank.

We found a wheelbarrow with Dez's
blood on it,

presumably from when the body was
pushed to the septic tank.

- Your fingerprints are on that
wheelbarrow. - It's my wheelbarrow.

Your prints were in his blood.

And traces of his blood were found
on the trousers we took off you when
we first questioned you.

Presumably from when you cleaned up
his blood.

You can't get fingerprints off a gun
that's covered in shit.

Fingerprints are grease. Rinse off
what's on top and there they are.

That gun is covered in prints and
they're all yours.

Eve Pritchard, you are charged as
follows:

That you at Rochdale in the county
of Greater Manchester on 19th
September 2014

did murder Desmond McLynn contrary
to common law.

That you at Rochdale in the county
of Greater Manchester between 1st
January 2007 and 19th September 2014

did falsely imprison Zain Dasti
contrary to common law.

That you at Rochdale in the county
of Greater Manchester

between 1st January 2003 and 19th
September 2014

did hold Sandy Thewliss in slavery
or servitude...

or you did require Sandy to perform
forced or compulsory labor

and the circumstances are such that
you knew or ought to have known

that Sandy was being required to
perform such labor,

contrary to Section 71 Coroners and
Justice Act 2009.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

I first met Gill

at Bruche in 1993.

She was dressed head to toe in
leather with hair down to her bum.

- ALL: Whoo! - I was not! - Oh, it must
have been someone else.

Anyway, she was telling someone how
they could do what they were doing
much better

if they'd only do it just like her.

And I thought 'Ooh, she's a bit
scary.'

22 years later and I'm still a bit
scared of Gill

but I've cottoned on to the fact that
that's how she likes it.

- I am so proud of you. - We've all been
Murrayed.

We've all had our eyebrows singed

if we haven't managed to achieve her
stratospherically high standards.

And now she's retired.

Let loose on the world

with time on her hands.

God help any weeds in her garden.

God help anything young and male in a
50-mile radius.

- Doesn't have to be young! - Doesn't
have to be male!

ALL: Whoa!

That is totally unacceptable.

Julie Dodson, the stories I could
tell about you!

Oh, you look deep and meaningful.

- Just thinking about change. - Ah.

Yeah, well, I applied for an
interview development role today.

It's what I'm best at and I'm going
take it as far as I can.

Yes. Superb.

You should come back inside. Dodson's
doing shots, Gill's dancing.

I think that's what it is. Oh, and
Will Pemberton's just turned up

and he's sort of casting about like
he's looking for somebody.

- Are you joking? - No.

I'll just finish this.
