TAP RUNS

Jesse!

The question is what he's not got.

Gout, arthritis of the left
paw, cancer in the testicle,

which means we've removed them.

- You hadn't before?
- Couldn't put him through it.

He's got lockjaw, or
some word for lockjaw,

which means he's not eating
properly. He farts like a trooper.

- Don't we all?
- According to the vet,

he's got low-level depression.

- Has he now?
- Yeah, like I said to the vet, 'Low-level?'

with all of that, it's a
miracle he's not suicidal.

If it was me, I'd be sitting
in the middle-of-the road.

He's got a lovely
coat, though, hasn't he?

Oh, I have to keep him
with me all the time.

Otherwise I get visions of coming home

and finding him bleeding out on the rug.

- Ah.
- Always involve blood, my visions.

Never a nice, clean, soft death.

Still, I keep him with me.

Now, you look far less trouble.

Just passing through, I brought
you those sausages you like.

OK. Coming in?

No, I better not, he's gone
nuclear and I'm due in, in 30.

Oh, right. Bit of a mess, anyway.

- Clinic working out OK?
- So far.

Yeah? Good girl.

Never met someone who likes
sausages as much as you.

The others I took to McDonald's,

you I took for hot dogs
at this German place.

Yeah. I like sausages.

Remember to cook them this time.

BELL RINGS

How does the other guy look?

- Girl.
- Oh, you're kidding me.

No, I'm not. I had to
take her to hospital.

Suspected arm fracture.

- Police coming in?
- Yes.

I'm sorry to contact you,

but this is the third time we've
had to bring a foster lot in,

and they're a piece of shit.

It's the Peters family,
not our finest lot,

but they cover the basics.

Oh, Patrick.

I thought you were a
gentleman. What did you do?

She called me a prick.

What, so you put her in
hospital? How does that work?

OK, so, the police are coming in.

You are entitled to an
appropriate adult to sit with you.

I would like to be that...

I don't want you. I want my dad.

- My birth dad.
- Not gonna happen.

I don't want anyone if I can't have him.

I know you're a good kid, Patrick,
OK? Try and remember that, eh?

JESSE BARKS

I know, but I'm not allowed
to take you in a school.

Oh, Jesus Christ, Jesse.

Miriam? This is Malcolm.

He'll be joining us
for the next few weeks.

- Welcome, Malcolm.
- He's brought some cake.

Oh, then you're very welcome. What kind?

- Coffee and walnut.
- Oh, shame, can't do nuts, flares up my rash.

Fine, I'll take it back.
I'll just eat the icing.

Everyone's got a rash
here, Malcolm, everyone.

PHONE RINGS

Morning, Francis, how's things?

She called cos he was
out until 2am last night

for the third time this week.
She's tried dealing with him,

- but every rule that she sets...
- Malcolm's agency, right?

- Right.
- What's he on an hour?

Dunno. Better than us?

How's she setting the rules?

Last week she called cos she's
missing a watch her mum gave her.

Today, she tells me she's
missing some underwear.

Oh, fuck. Is she hot?

- Yes.
- See, it's MILFs, we shouldn't give kids to MILFs.

It does something weird to their heads.

Does he look at you?

- You mean sexually?
- Yes.

- A bit.
- Yeah, but everyone looks at you a bit sexy.

- OK, I'd take it up.
- Take it up?

Yeah, it's a tough one, you're
newly qualified, I'd take it up.

I'm two years qualified.

That's still new. Up.

Sounds like she's in sexual risk
and that we can't have, take it up.

But Julie always looks at
me like I'm wasting her time.

Not my case, not getting
involved, I'm sorry.

I'm telling you, take it up.

You look like Audrey Hepburn.

Who?

You look great.

Who's Audrey Hepburn?

She was an actress.

She had a long, slender
neck, just like you.

Do I need to wear a scarf?

No. Does my neck look silly?

- No.
- This girl, Naomi Travers,

called me Stretch the other day.

Well, we know what we
say to Naomi Travers.

Sticks and stones may break my bones,

but words will only make me angry.

BOTH, IN A DEEP VOICE: And
you don't want to see me angry!

KNOCKS ON DOOR

- Aren't you supposed to be in school?
- Free period.

- What's one of them?
- I haven't got any lessons.

Then why aren't you in the library?

- Library's full.
- Hi.

Hi, any news on our court date?

Oh, no small talk, Jim, just
get to the point, why don't you?

Sorry. How are you? Good day? Big day?

Yeah, you don't have to feel like that.

And he is meant to be in the
library, he signs in and comes home.

We're harbouring educational fugitives.

I'll send it up the chain, see
what I can do about the court date.

- You having coffee?
- Oh, you know how to please a girl, Jim.

- Hi.
- Hi!

Oh, you're all around,
except for the princess.

I like your kimono, Alice.

Oh, I wouldn't call it... It's a...

- dressing gown.
- Oh, of course it is.

So, where is the princess?

She's upstairs, we've
been arguing about scarves.

Oh.

- She's nervous.
- Yeah, don't have to be...

Don't have to be a big thing.

I've said the same.

Well, I need to get past you if I'm
going up, or you can call her down.

Is our Eddie right?
Everything's ready for her?

It's just a day, Alice, barely that.

Six hours, half a day.

Nothing at all.

KNOCKS ON DOOR

Hello, kid!

- He likes you.
- He's farted.

And that's his way of
telling you that he likes you.

He's a very affectionate farter.

Meh. I don't mind.

I like your scarf.

Alice said I had a long
neck, so I thought I'd try it.

I'd love a long neck.

- Yeah, well.
- The scarf's good, it's nice, it's strong,

strong choice, makes your eyes pop.

That's what all the
young people say nowadays,

I've been watching the MTV.

You're so funny.

You're the one laughing.

Oh.

What?

It's nothing.

No, today's gonna be nice.

- I know.
- I think it important

that you get time with
them at their home.

But you've never hung out
with them on your own before,

and there might be things
that are a bit unusual to you.

I'm black. I need to find
out how black people live.

I get it. Darling, if
this was just about race,

it'd be much more straightforward.

People are weird. Your grandparents
don't seem particularly weird,

but they might be a little bit,

and if they are that
can take adjusting to.

I'll tell them you called them weird.

Then I might tell Alice
what you called her.

Got a problem?

- It'll pass.
- Yeah, there's tissues in the back pocket of the seat

and wet wipes.

She asked me to call her "Mum."

Well, that's up to you.

I know.

Anyway, you have my
number, and your phone.

So, any time you want to leave,

pretend to go to the
toilet and phone me.

- But I won't want to leave.
- No, of course you won't,

but it reassures me that
you know there's a plan.

All set?

Yes, of course. Will you come in?

I would love to, but
I can't leave my dog.

- He farts all the time.
- He does.

Rochelle has something for you.

Yeah, in you go.

- Hi, Rochelle.
- Ah, Kiri.

Thank you for making this happen.

Oh, she's excited. Maybe too
excited, and she won't show it,

but just be aware it's there,
OK? She doesn't show much.

Listen to me, teaching you about
your own grandkids, I'm so sorry.

We don't know her well enough.

I'll be back at four to pick her up.

Oh, don't you start. It'll be fine.

CAR STEREO PLAYS: Shut up by Stormzy

CAR STEREO BLARES

TWIN: Yes! Yes, come on!

- Yes! He got off! Yes.
- Get in!

Miss!

Craig, Christ, I haven't
seen you in years.

- I got off, Miss!
- That's fantastic:

Rape.

And he did it.

- Yes!
- Come on! Get in!

The court understands the
desire to remove the child

from what is clearly a very
tempestuous home atmosphere,

but in a case where the child's
right to a family life has

to be given appropriate weight,

- I cannot find in favour of removal...
- MOBILE BUZZES

- _
- ... unless I am satisfied

that the welfare of
the child demands it.

That said, this is not the
first time this family...

... and these... parents in particular...

Where's she gone?

Yeah, because I was in
court, the Telford case.

Oh, shit.

The stupid kid!

They've asked for me? Why?

So you can't tell me where she's gone?

Can we wait until we're
somewhere more discreet?

Yeah, of course, Doug.

And probably better if you
don't use my first name.

You don't seem very concerned.

Well, I'm worried but I don't
think panic helps anyone.

Kiri's resilient, she'll turn up.

We have some witnesses who
have placed her at the Downs.

OK. And what's your hunch telling you?

You must have a hunch.

So let's try and do
this formerly. Shall we?

You drove her from her foster parents

to her biological grandparents.

If we going to do this
formally, we call it 'birth'.

Biological makes them
sound like washing powder.

BIRTH grandparents.

It was an arranged visit, I told
her to call me if she got concerned,

she clearly did but she didn't call me,

she just scarpered instead. Stupid girl.

- You have her phone number.
- And she has mine.

You see, why is that interesting?
That's standard practice. Look...

she's just run away, she gets
scared by stuff but she'll come home.

Doug?

- What's going on?
- How was this meeting arranged?

Between them and us.

Kiri's about to be adopted,

we thought it important to
make unsupervised visits work

before the adoption went through.

And prior to this all
visits had been supervised?

Yes, this is the first.

Yes.

Tell me about Kiri.

She's nice she's a good kid.

She gets freaked out and
has the occasional nosebleed.

- Nosebleed?
- Yeah.

It's her thing, but compared to
a lot of the kids I look after

she has her head on straight.

Wasn't quite expecting this but...

And her foster parents, Jim and Alice?

Yeah, they've been...

... good, we have very little
trouble, everyone gets on,

it's why we supported the adoption.

Despite Kiri being black and
Jim and Alice being white.

Transracial adoptions are
fully supported by legislation

and increasingly necessary.

Am I under investigation?

Tell me about Tobi and Rochelle.

They're good people,
what else is there to say?

Tobi is the father of Nathanial?

That's right.

Yes, that's Kiri's birth father.

He's an ex-offender,
drug dealing and GBH.

He's been out a year and
was denied access to Kiri.

He's a chaotic personality
and was not Seen 35 Someone

who could have a
positive impact on Kiri.

And would you be aware of any
physical contact between them?

Well, there hasn't been any, not
since she was taken into care.

Look, what's going
on? You're scaring me.

The assumption was that
Tobi would not try to affect

a meeting between his son and
his granddaughter, is that right?

- What?
- That was your assumption.

No, they're basically estranged.

Are you telling me that
this is an abduction case?

Are you telling me that Nathanial
abducted her? He took her?

Has he taken her and
you've no idea where she is?

Fuck.

So let's go back to what you did
and heard when you dropped her off.

OK.

I could take Jesse if you'd...

- Sure.
- I've also...

I've got one of those
flapjacks you like from M&S.

- No nuts.
- No, I'm OK.

I'm so sorry to hear about it.

Yeah, it's OK, Lucy, let's
just keep things calm, shall we?

Close the door.

I'm going to need to
know everything, Miriam.

Her dad... with the grandparents.

Do you think they were complicit?

Did you know, did you have any sense...

No, of course I fucking
didn't. Of course I didn't.

- You got every consent?
- Yeah.

- You got every check?
- You supervised my paperwork, Julia,

I thought she'd done a runner.

- But this...
- Even just any sense...

- Did Kiri ever even really talk about him?
- No, not really, not to me.

His letters are pretty
bland to be honest.

You do knew how much this
could fuck us, don't you?

Christ...

- That poor girl.
- No, poor us, poor you.

They'd better fucking find
her, I need to read everything,

I need to understand everything.

I didn't do anything wrong, Julia.

I really hope you're right,
cos this just went full blown.

We're running on the Six O'clock News.

NEWSREADER: The search for the
missing schoolgirl Kiri Akindele

has entered its second day.

Late last night her foster mother,
Alice Warner, spoke to reporters.

We implore anyone who knows
anything to please tell police.

Kiri is such a special girl.
So full of life and joy.

We just...

Please, we just want her home again.

Local volunteers will today join
a police search of Bristol Downs.

This is where nine-year-old
Kiri was last seen,

with her birth father
Nathanial Akindele.

Akindele is from Peckham in south London

and a police spokesperson
confirmed this morning

that their enquiries have now
extended to the capital, while

warning that Akindele is a violent
man and not safe to approach.

This morning will see the search
expand as the wider community

works with police and the Harbour
Authority to find the girl.

ON RADIO: Children who are being
fostered are normally placed

with families from the same
cultural background, but

a shortage of foster carers
means that can't always happen...

- Oh, I know.
- In a moment I'll be talking to...

- I know.
- ... from Action For Children.

It's impressive, right?

Sense of community.

There's over 100 people
been enlisted to look.

I thought that kind of stuff only
happened in working class places but,

you know, my neighbours, turns
out, are nice and friendly.

- Yeah, it's good.
- You're not over there.

Snap.

- I'm going to join in a bit.
- No, you're not.

Because you're afraid of what
people would say if you did spin up.

- Smoke?
- I'm slightly outraged, Simon.

I think I'd smoke if I was you. Now.

Do you, now?

Mum and Dad had a visit from
one of your bosses this morning.

I listened at the door and they
were spitting blood about you.

Said you should have known
not to trust the grandparents,

said they didn't.

- What did my boss say?
- Not a lot.

Just that he was sure
that they'd find them both

and that he was sure
that we'd get Kiri back,

which we will.

- Was a he, was it?
- Yeah. Bald guy, shit bald as well.

All tufty. Do you know him?

Management.

Would you like a sandwich?

Instead of a fag?

They're cheese and pickle.

I'm guessing you haven't had breakfast.

They will find her.

Safe and sound.

- You doing OK?
- You're not my social worker.

- I worry about you.
- Well, I don't worry about anyone.

You remind me of my
son, do you know that?

Never said about a son before.

No.

He kill himself or something?

Nope.

Cancer. He was 13.

What? Shit, I'm sorry.

You said something flippantly, I
don't take offence at flippancy,

if I did I'd be in another job.

Please don't think any more about it.

Yeah, I know, you're right,
I'm not going to join in, am I?

- But you should.
- Yeah, but...

No, you should, Si.

I'll go to my meeting.

Mum's already said on Radio 4...

I think she was trying to make a point.

She said that biology
doesn't make a difference

in how much you love your kids.

She said in some ways she
loves Kiri more than me.

I think she was trying to make a point.

Well, you know not to listen to it...

Yeah, well they chose her and
they got me, it's different.

Police! Over here! Over here!

What's happening? What's happening?

Over here!

I just want to see what they've found.

Stay back. Stay back.

Stay back.

Please, I understand...

You look tired.

You following the case
of the missing kid?

I knew that was you.

They found her body, it's
going to be announced.

- What?
- They found her body, Mum.

My kid.

They found her body.

I didn't know where to
come, so I came here.

You're puffy.

I can always tell when you're

not taking care of yourself.

I don't expect you to look great, but...

do your best with what you've got.

It's always been our way.

And you're not doing your best.

No.

Got an update from the nurses,
they say you've been abusive.

They're stealing from me.

- They're not.
- It's the black ones you need to watch.

- You really don't.
- Fuck 'em.

They work very hard.

Fuck 'em.

- OK?
- OK, OK.

Why do you come here?

I don't know.

Kiri, right?

Yeah.

Nice girl, was she?

Yeah.

Have you got anything to drink?

SHE COUGHS

Don't bring me chocolates any more.

They play havoc with my dentures.

Oh, and that Denise.

- What, your best friend?
- Oh, she always takes the best ones.

Maybe I'll bring chocolates for Denise.

Thank her for staying friends with you.

SHE SCOFFS

I took a kid to see his mother's
grave... a few weeks back.

He sat in the car all
sorry for himself, quiet.

I got him to the grave, he looked
at it, no expression on his face,

three or four minutes.

Then he spat on it and walked away.

- What did you do?
- Took him home.

What I wish I'd said is,

'Don't feel ashamed of doing that
when you look back, don't feel ashamed.'

'If that's what you need, that's
good with me and it should be

fucking good with her, she's
your mum and she fucked it.'

I'm in quite a lot of shit, Mum.

I'm in quite a serious amount of shit.

- That's her, isn't it?
- Yeah, that's her.

THEY CALL OUT

Miriam!

Do you have any comments
about Kiri's death?

THEY ALL CALL OUT QUESTIONS

CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK

Can we just ask you a
few questions, Miriam?

Miriam, did you allow unsupervised
contact because she was black?

- Has this been racially motivated?
- Miriam!

So, as you've probably ascertained,

the media has discovered your identity.

The leak did not come from
this office, I hasten to add.

Do you know where it did come from?

It is being investigated,
but that's for another time.

Now, I understand that you've waived

union representation for this meeting.

I'm a closet Tory, I despise the unions.

No, I didn't think at
this point it was... Um...

Just thought I'd find
out where I stood first.

Well, in my judgment, it's probably
worth contacting them after this.

Feeding me to the wolves, are you?

No.

But our primary duty of care
is towards Kiri, of course.

The decision to allow the grandparents

unsupervised contact does seem,

certainly on the surface, a bold one.

Does it?

And your interviews with them
to establish the boundaries.

The notes certainly don't reflect

the gravity of what you've allowed for.

I try to keep my notes positive.

Studying your past record,

there are a few
instances where it appears

that you've made bold decisions,

occasionally with mixed results.

I don't think that's fair.

- Miriam...
- Oh, now she gets involved.

- Sheamus Trent, hm? Nkosi Graham.
- All investigated.

99% of the time, you are exceptional,

but there are times when you...

follow your own judgment...

Because early intervention saves lives.

No, no-one's disputing that
you care about the children,

but let's just try and have
an honest conversation here.

OK. OK.

I can do honesty.

You're my line manager. If you
felt this was in any way unsafe,

you should've done something.
How honest is that, Julie?

The papers are claiming that we
prioritised her cultural needs

over her safety needs.

They're claiming that we allowed her

into an unsafe home in order to...

... tick our leftie boxes.

Think that's fair?

No.

You weren't influenced
by cultural needs?

Yeah, course I was, it's
part of my job, isn't it?

It's also part of the job to
assess whether a home is safe.

Nathaniel and Tobi were estranged.

Well, they obviously weren't.

You made a judgment...

... and in so doing, you
returned a girl into the hands

of a chaotic and dangerous parent.

I didn't know.

I would never knowingly
have put Kiri in danger.

I recognise I can push
the envelope sometimes,

but Julie will tell you...

I have told him that 99% of the time

your judgment is usually impeccable.

Like that percentage, don't you?

Stick a flake in it before you
try and sell it to the tabloids,

- why don't you?
- OK, OK, OK, look, look.

The question is, or will be, how
much you've pushed the envelope.

The foster parents are
claiming that you pressured them

into supporting your decision,

hinted that it would help
their adoption process.

And that, I'm afraid, DOES
need investigation, and so...

And hopefully this is
just a short-term measure,

you are on suspension.

I didn't pressure them.

Very pleased to hear that.

Let's hope that's what
the investigation decides.

We'll all have to accept
culpability in this case, I expect.

Everything was done properly.

I made sure. Julie, you know
I wouldn't pressure anyone.

They found his car, Nathaniel's car...

... hopefully that means that we'll
discover what actually happened

that day and we can put this
whole sorry business behind us.

Thank you for your time.

Fuck.

Oh, fuck!

Come here, Jessie.

Come here.

KNOCK AT DOOR

I'm sorry to bother you so early.

- You found him?
- Nathaniel? No.

I've answered all the
questions you have for me.

It's not about that, either.

I'm afraid we need you to identify
the body of your granddaughter.

Why is it not them?

Sorry?

Why is it me identifying
her and not the other people?

You're her next of kin, Tobi.

My son is next of kin.

Your son's whereabouts are
currently unknown to us.

You have children?

No.

Where are you from?

Here.

When we get to the morgue,
I'll take you both...

Rochelle will stay in the car.

They wanted to see her, too.

We're just trying to do
what's best for all sides.

Are you ready, Tobi?

Yes.

Tobi, is this your granddaughter?

You can positively identify
this as Kiri Akindele?

Her throat, it doesn't look...

I need you to positively
identify her for our records.

Am I allowed...

Can I go to her?

Not while the
investigation's still active.

Can they hear me in there?

Yes.

I think if I was with the
body, I would sing to her.

But I will spare you that.

Tobi, I do need you to
formally identify her.

My name is Mr Akindele,

and yes, this is my granddaughter.

You may let the other family in now.

Sir, are you OK?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing?

Calm down!

Please!

We let him touch her.

You mean I did.

Her neck...

Her neck!

To do that to her neck!

I need to find him.

HE SOBS

So... I'm sorry. Sorry.

TV: Police in Bristol are searching
for a man following the discovery

of his daughter's body
on the Downs in Bristol.

Nine-year-old Kiri
Akindele had been missing

from her grandparents'
home since Wednesday.

Her foster parents,
Jim and Alice Warner,

have described her as a "precious gift"

- and said, "the world "will be poorer without her."
- PHONE RINGS AND VIBRATES

A social worker, Miriam
Gracen, has been suspended...

- Hi...
- ... while an internal investigation's

- been launched into possible misconduct.
- I can't!

- The police are appealing for information...
- I've been suspended.

... regarding the whereabouts
of Nathaniel Akindele...

that's Kiri's birth father...

I'm on my way.

I'm not reporting it.

That's the first thing you're saying
to me, you need to report this.

I don't think it's fair on him.

He just got angry and...

... I don't think he handled
it very well, to be honest.

I think if I'd handled it better, then...

Sorry. Sorry!

I know... I know things
are worse for you right now.

Lucy, you were assaulted
by a boy in your care.

If I say anything, it goes on
my record, too. Another one.

Yeah, but if you don't
report him, things escalate.

I needed someone I could
trust to not say anything.

So now I'm part of the
conspiracy of silence.

- Thanks.
- I just wanted someone to be here for me, you know?

And I know you've always cared about me.

Some people in the office,

they say you're in love with
me or you fancy me or something.

You know, social services is full
of people who look after children

who behave like children.

I don't.

I'm straight, actually.

I was even married at one point.

I wouldn't mind.

- I quite like it.
- Well, then, that's a fucking pity, ain't it?

- They giving you painkillers?
- Quite strong ones.

- Truth drugs?
- Maybe.

Not too much.

Won't mix well with the truth drugs.

I'm straight, too.

Most of the time.

Where's Jessie?

In the car.

Asphyxiating himself, no doubt.

I hate what they're saying about you.

It's going to get worse yet, love.

DOG BARKS

ENGINE STARTS

Miriam. Miriam! Miriam!

Do you blame yourself, Miriam?

Do you know where Nathaniel Akindele is?

MUFFLED SHOUTING

MELANCHOLIC MUSIC

I bought some sausages.

You drove here?

- Yeah.
- In that state?

- Come in.
- No, I just bought you some sausages so you can...

If they see you like
this, they'll crucify you.

I haven't tidied.

I brought you sausages.

Maybe I should cook them for you.

OK, but can I be
honest with you, though?

Yeah.

I fucking hate sausages.

Can you make beans or something instead?

Sure.

Ignore that, I just haven't tidied.

Ignore that. OK.

I hoped things would be different.

OK.

Yeah.

PHONE RINGS AND VIBRATES

It's work.

I wouldn't answer it.
Let it go to voicemail.

- No, I should.
- Miriam, listen to me,

they can't hear you like this.

RINGTONE STOPS

MIRIAM SPLUTTERS

Oh, shit. I ruined your rug.

It doesn't matter.

I've done worse in here,
and you know I have.

- Oh, shit.
- OK, let's get you sat down.

DOG BARKS IN THE DISTANCE

DOG BARKS

We're joined now by
Jim and Alice Warner.

This is about finding
Nathaniel Akindele.

How hard is it to find one man?

His face is on the
front of every newspaper!

He said he had changed, I trusted him.

- Why?
- Because I hoped he had.

- I am on your side, you know.
- Do you think I can swap sides?

Because I hate this fucking
side, scares the shit out of me.

Everyone keeps looking at me,

I'm not sure what I'm
supposed to do any more.

There are those who would question
my right to call Kiri my daughter.

I understand your pain.

You saw her once a month.

I saw her every day.

I loved her every day.

We're planning a re-enactment.

The details of Kiri's day
are becoming more complicated.

He initially said he was at school,
we've discovered that he wasn't.

You allowed illegal contact
between your son and his daughter.

- Rochelle!
- That is a crime.

Why did you stay married to him?

Because we were parents.

I've done bad things,
I'm not a nice man.

I did the right thing by a
little girl who deserved to know

where she came from.
