'You're depressed ?'

'Yes.'

'How depressed ?'

'Very.'

Suicidal ?

'Yes.'

The shame of being caught ?

'Yes.'

The goods are laid out like that to tempt you.

You were tempted beyond endurance.

There's no shame in that.

What supermarket was this ?

'Valubuy's.'

Did they call the police ?

'Yes.'

How old are you ?

Seventy-eight.

It's not you, is it, Mum ?

'No.'

All shoplifters, this woman of 78 was almost driven to suicide by Valubuy's.

Get down there. All shoplifters. Calling all shoplifters !

Get down to Valubuy's and clean them out.

Fitz, that's enough.

And if you're not a shoplifter, why not become one for the day.

Think about it.

RADIO

You'll get caught.

How ?

Someone'll tell on you.

I've been doing it for months, Mum.

Sooner or later someone'll tell.

Why ?

That's the way people are.

It's only a few hours taxiing.

I'm trying to listen to this.

You can't work and claim dole.

I stop signing on, yeah ?

Yeah.

Don't be ridiculous.

It's nothing to do with you.

What happens if he doesn't claim the soshe ?

I'm trying to listen to this.

It stays down in London.

Is right, see.

It's stealing.

For God's sake, lots of people do it

DOORBELL

Is that Trish ?

Yeah.

Good night.

We've been together three months, Floyd.

Yeah ?

So.

So what ?

Come up.

We're OK here.

We're not. Come up.

What's the problem ?

What's wrong ?

Floyd ?

You wouldn't like me naked.

Why not ?

You think I'd laugh at you ?

Not laugh.

No.

# TANGO: "JEALOUSY"

Can you dance ?

Sorry ?

Can you dance ?

Can I dance ? I taught Saint Vitus.

Oh, my God !

Hello, Fitz.

I thought you were staying in tonight.

Thank you.

Fitz, this is Peter.

Can you do this ?

Just walk.

How old do you think I am ?

Late forties.

Bang goes your tip.

LAUGHTER

That's a bad joke.

Have you heard this ? This fella gets his nudger cut off.

He goes for a transplant and they offer him a 4" one.

And he goes, "No good to me, that, you know."

All right, Floyd ?

Not much doing ?

No.

They offer him a 6" one. He goes, "Have you got any bigger ?"

So they show him the 12" ones. And he goes er...

What were you talking about ?

What d'you mean ?

I came up, you stopped talking. Why?

No reason in particular.

So he goes, "That's much better, but haven't you got any in white ?"

(SCREAMS)

Catherine, isn't it ?

Yes.

I won't hurt you.

I know you're frightened but don't struggle.

If you don't struggle, you'll enjoy this.

Promise me, and I promise that you'll enjoy this.

Is that a deal, Catherine ?

Yes.

Is that a deal ?

Put this on.

Put this on your head, Catherine.

Lie down.

Lie down !

Are you OK, Catherine ?

Catherine,...

..is Tom good to you ?

What ?

Is he good to you ?

Is he the jealous type ?

If I was married to you, Catherine,...

..I wouldn't let you out of my sight

# When you're in love with a beautiful woman,...

# ..you watch her eyes.

(SOBS)

# When you're in love with a beautiful woman,...

# ..you watch her eyes.

# Everybody wants her

# Everybody loves her

# Everybody wants to take your woman home. #

It's good to get sex out of the way, isn't it ?

Yes.

Sorry ?

I said yes.

Was it too fast for you, Catherine ? Over too soon ?

No.

Is it Catherine...

..or Cathy ?

Catherine.

Catherine, hm.

When we lived in caves, Catherine,..

..we were vulnerable during sex.

Take too long and there'd be a tiger at your throat.

Do it quick, and you'd live to do it again.

Have you ever thought of it like that ?

No.

D'you fancy a swim ?

(SCREAMS)

Police.

DOORBELL

There's been another rape.

I brought you some mints. You don't want to smell of whisky.

Right. Thanks.

And when I get the chance, I'd like to explain.

There's nothing to explain.

Did the earth move ?

8.2 on the Richter Scale, and those Krauts are accurate.

This man may have raped twice before.

Dr Fitzgerald's helping us to catch him.

But if you'd prefer it, he'll wait outside.

(That's fine.)

Right.

Did he wear a mask ?

Did he put a hood over your head ?

Yes.

Was there anything else ?

Sometimes when somebody's raped, things happen.

Things that are very difficult to talk about.

Was there something like that ?

He combed my hair.

Not here.

After he finished, he combed my hair

Has he done that before ?

Yes.

Would you take some tests ?

What ?

It's just a precaution.

You mean Aids ?

There's no evidence he's got it.

Were the other women clear ?

Yes. After the first tests.

Would you like to phone your husband ?

Um...

Would you like to tell him in person ?

I can't.

He'll need to bring you some more clothes because...

..we have to examine what you were wearing.

Would you like me to phone him ?

He'll be at work.

Yes.

Why, what's happened ?

I'll kill the bastard !

OK, have you all got your lists ?

Bobby, shut up a minute, will you ?

Have you got your lists ?

We're inviting all these guys in. They're all perverts with previous.

No-one'll complain if you lean on them.

Aaagh ! Get off me !

We'd like you to pop down to the station.

I'll come with you but I've done nothing. I haven't left the house.

Mind you don't bump your head.

Mrs Malcolm ? Is Floyd in ?

What ?

He's in bed.

Which room is he in ?

He was in all night.

Which room ?

Up there.

Why didn't you say so ?

My son's done nothing wrong. He's been there all night.

Floyd Malcolm ? Floyd Malcolm ?

Yeah ?

Get dressed, lad.

Who are you ?

Michael Aspel.

D'you know why you're here ?

You think I raped a woman in 1989.

Well, didn't you ?

No.

I was sent down for it.

But I've never raped no-one in me life.

Can I go now, please ?

Where were you last night ?

Driving the cab.

I finished about eight.

I went home and I stayed home.

Me mum, me brother and me sister - they'll back that up.

Can I go now ?

Please ?

(CLEARS THROAT)

Look,...

..I don't need to rape.

The old ones are always the best.

I drive a cab.

I pick up drunk women. I get plenty of offers.

I don't need to rape.

Please let me go.

OK. Go on, you can go.

White women get raped by white men.

The black guy lurking in the alley - it's a myth.

He's signing on.

Yeah, I know.

We should tell the soshe.

For Christ's sake, Jimmy, get real.

What do you get out of it ?

I don't touch women.

A twelve-year-old boy, last time.

I just like to look at them.

My mother will be worried about me.

I'll have to ask you a few questions about what happened.

Did penetration take place ?

Yes.

Vaginal ?

Yes.

Rectal ?

No.

Oral ?

No.

Did he use a condom ?

What ?

Some do.

No, he didn't.

Did he ejaculate ?

Yes.

Thank you.

It's easier when the victim's educated.

I'm just going to take some blood.

You owe it to yourself to help catch this man, Catherine.

He's a threat to us all.

You know it all by heart, don't you?

I do, yes.

I'm sorry.

Mr Carter ?

Yeah.

Dr Fitzgerald.

He combed your hair to get rid of strands of his own.

He threw you in the pool to destroy semen traces.

He knows police procedure inside out

He's done it before and been caught.

He's learned the hard way to destroy evidence.

He's done it before ?

Twice. This is the third time.

What are you playing at ?

He's raped 3 times, got a record and you can't catch him.

Tom, they're only trying to help.

If it was your wife you'd catch him, I'm sure of that !

Excuse me.

You say he used your name ?

Yeah.

Can I come in ?

What about Fidel ?

His name's Peter.

Oh, the Peter ?

Yes.

Please let me come in and explain.

OK.

What do you want me to say to him ?

I've met a married man,...

..slept with him while his wife was away,...

..sorry, Peter, four years of friendship's down the Swanee ?

Did you sleep with him ?

Ignore that. Sorry, that came from down here. Engage the brain.

It's your body to do with as you wish. I have no right to ask.

If Judith came back, I might do the same thing.

Sorry, it's not working. The green-eyed monster's growling.

Ignore the sodding brain.

Did you sleep with him ?

That's my business.

So you did sleep with him.

If you want to think that, fine.

Three straight A's. He's young. You've had 4 years' practice.

But did it have to be somebody so perfect ?

Couldn't he have had just a hint of a pot belly ?

He spoke to me. He didn't utter an intelligible word but he spoke.

He said, "You're a dirty old man, trying to get hold of some firm young flesh".

I know that's not true.

Can I stay ?

I'll get an E for effort, no doubt.

How is she ?

Er... so-so.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Oldest ? Youngest ?

Smack bang in the middle.

Do you resent that ?

Yes.

The middle child's neglected.

Your older brothers bullied you.

James Molloy ?

Yes.

DS Beck. DC Harriman.

You're a caretaker here, Mr Molloy ?

No, I'm a cleaner.

You've been convicted of indecent assault, and last night in this building a woman was raped.

Is that just coincidence ?

Yes.

He didn't do it.

Would you come to the station ?

I'm not going anywhere.

Where were you last night ?

At home.

We knocked on your door and got no answer.

I was in watching telly.

What did you watch ?

Do you have a girlfriend, James ?

Answer me. What did you watch ?

"EastEnders".

It wasn't on.

Have you ever had a girlfriend ?

No. I meant "Coronation Street".

And after that ?

I went out.

You said you stayed in.

Till nine o'clock.

Where did you go ?

The pub.

Which one ?

The Admiral.

The man we want forms a relationship with his victims.

Is that your local ?

Yes.

So, they'll back this up ?

Anybody home ?

Will they back this up, Mr Molloy ?

I don't know.

James Molloy ?

Yeah.

The cleaner ?

That's right.

I thought it was someone younger.

Why ?

What ?

Why did you think he was younger ?

I just did.

What led you to him ?

He's answering questions.

But why is he answering questions ?

I can't tell you that.

He's done it before ?

I can't tell you that.

He has, hasn't he ?

Could it have been Molloy ?

I don't know, he wore a mask.

But he spoke, didn't he ?

Yeah, but I didn't see him.

Was it his voice ?

Could it've been Molloy's voice ?

Yeah. Yeah, could've been.

This guy talks to his victims. He tries to form a relationship.

So he's had broken relationships in the past.

Nobody saw him in the pub.

Innocent men don't lie. You lie to hide something.

Look, he's been hurt.

The women he rapes are ones he's used to or the sort he aspires to.

James - don't take this personally - aspires to nothing. He's a nonentity

He's not even included in the Reader's Digest draw.

The man we're looking for can swim. Whereas...

..I'll bet you £20 the bugger drowns

Get a lifeguard.

Sorry. A bit of medieval justice.

If you drown, you're innocent.

It's a bit Catch 22, really.

You Scottish bastard, get him out !

You're not on your holidays.

If he drowns, it's down to you.

There's twenty quid riding on this. Swim !

Swim. Swim, man. Swim. Swim.

We were wrong about Molloy. Sorry.

You've let him go ?

Yeah.

Can I come in ?

Yeah.

You will enjoy every moment, I assure you.

Do you want me to tell Mum about her ?

No.

Are you trying to make Mum jealous ?

She can't be jealous if she doesn't know.

It's not about making her jealous.

Do you want Mum back ?

Most of the time, yeah.

Well, so do I.

If she finds Boadicea here, she'll get off again.

I mean, he tried to be nice.

Just talked to me for ages.

He asked me about Tom.

Asked me if he was the jealous type.

Like he was talking to some friend, you know.

Using my name all the time. Catherine this and...

He was um...

He said he was good, and if I didn't struggle, I'd enjoy it.

We could leave it there for now.

No, I want to carry on.

You see,...

..he didn't think he'd raped me.

In his mind it wasn't rape.

Have your circumstances changed ?

(JAMAICAN ACCENT) Me bowels have improved.

Have you done any work ?

Yeah, understudy for Arnie Schwarzenegger.

Next week I'm the Milky Bar Kid.

Where were you born, Mr Malcolm ?

I born and raised in Liverpool.

You have a Jamaican accent.

Me like to speak like me from Jamaica.

I need to see your passport, Mr Malcolm.

Me no have passport.

I'm terminating this interview. We'll start again as soon as you -

Me no have passport. Me need money !

Would you like to see a supervisor, Mr Malcolm ?

I've seen them on "Crimewatch", they just titillate the audience.

A reconstruction can jog someone's memory.

Can I be there ?

I don't want you there.

You're not up to it.

It was three months ago.

It's time I did things on my own.

That's OK ?

Whatever you want.

When ?

Tomorrow ?

Right.

Great.

She's about 80 and she comes into the police station.

Are you listening ?

She's 80 and she walked into the station.

She had a few ginger whiskers.

She had ginger whiskers, more mascara than Julian Clary,...

..and lipstick like she'd been drinking Ribena.

She said, "Officer, I've been raped." I said, "When ?"

She said, "61 years ago." I said, "I can't charge anyone."

She said, "I don't want you to charge anyone, I just want to talk about it."

Virginia Bottomley.

Can I ask you something ?

How come he gets two drinks and we only get one ?

There's more of him.

I think it indicates something.

It certainly does.

You're soft for buying me them. Scunthorpe !

ALL: Scunthorpe !

I think you think you're something special.

Jimmy, leave it out.

Virginia Bottomley. That name makes you want to put her over your knee and spank her.

You're twisted and a pervert,...

..and you'll make a bloody good policeman.

Do you think he's dead ?

SIREN

Most rape victims don't report it.

Why do they let themselves be raped ?

They don't let themselves.

Bollocks.

It's violence or the threat of violence.

You can't thread a moving needle.

What ?

You can't thread a moving needle.

They ask to be raped. Shall I tell you why ?

Yeah, please do.

Because subconsciously they want it.

Bollocks, Jimmy.

Do you fantasise about rape ?

It doesn't include violence.

Stay out of this. Do you ?

You're on my pitch.

Do you fantasise about rape ?

It has nothing to do with violence.

Do you fantasise about rape ?

Sometimes,...

..yes, I do.

Excuse me.

Had a smell of the barman's apron ?

I just wanted her to answer the question.

You all right ?

Do you think he should be on this case ?

Jimmy Beck ?

We could find someone more sensitive, like Attila the Hun.

You'll go off the case before Beck.

Thank you, sir.

Go back and have a drink with your mates.

I'm not in the mood.

They're your mates.

Forget the hairy-arsed lesbians. Go and have a drink with your mates.

OK.

Molloy's in hospital, sir.

Poor pathetic bastard.

Mr Carter ?

Yeah ?

I'd give you a medal but it's not up to me.

So, would you mind coming to the station ?

RADIO: "Anyone handy for Robins, Flat 27, Belle Vale ?"

Yeah. 43. I'm five minutes away.

"Anyone close to Belle Vale ?"

I want this one, Mike. I'll be there in two. Right ?

"OK, 43."

The police station, Anson Road.

What are you going there for ?

A reconstruction.

What of ?

I'd sooner not talk about it.

Right.

I'm Floyd.

Helen.

Are you OK, Helen ?

I'm sorry ? Can you say that again, please ?

Are you OK, Helen ?

He's in intensive care.

He's lying there like a cabbage.

He can't be that bad if he's doing impressions.

Bad taste ?

I'd say so.

He's only a pervert.

Yes.

It didn't really matter.

He's been left for dead but it doesn't matter.

It doesn't.

No. Why don't you confess ?

If it doesn't matter, why don't you confess ?

Because I didn't do it.

I know you did and I know why you did it.

You asked, 'What would other men do ? Kill him.'

Something says, you shouldn't do it. But you had something to prove.

Not to your wife, not to yourself but to other men.

Nothing to do with revenge.

You didn't wait for the guy who did it.

You picked on an innocent pervert.

And every punch you threw said, 'I am a man.'

'I've been raped, my wife's been raped but I am still a man !'

Sir. We're ready for you.

Excuse me.

Yes ?

I didn't do it.

'If it was up to me, I'd give you a medal.' Did you say that ?

No, boss.

I don't believe you.

He is a criminal. He took the law into his own hands.

No jury'll convict him.

He put a fellow human being in hospital !

A pervert, not a human being.

A human being !

Now, wait in my office. I'll talk to you there.

Wait in my office.

Jane's in charge of the reconstruction.

What's the girl's name ?

Helen Robins.

Helen Robins has been raped.

So a bit of sensitivity wouldn't do any harm, OK ?

Take over.

Right.

Keep your opinions to yourself.

You've upset a fellow officer, so keep quiet.

Who have I upset ?

It doesn't matter who.

It does.

Has someone complained about me ?

Yeah.

Penhaligon ?

No.

I don't believe you.

Tough.

DCI Bilborough never allowed a copper to go behind her mate's back.

I'm not Bilborough.

No, sir.

Don't push your luck.

He encouraged us to speak our minds.

Oh, piss off.

Piss off !

Sir.

Were you in this park three months ago, June 12th ?

Excuse me, sir. Were you in this park three months ago, June 12th ?

Four or five weeks ago, maybe.

(SCREAMS)

Nobody's going to hurt you. You're OK.

Everything's fine.

I'd sooner be the victim than the husband of the victim.

Her role's mapped out.

Her friends come round and offer condolences and say how sorry they are.

No-one says a blind thing to me.

I'm not the one who's been hurt.

Aren't I ? I am.

I have been hurt.

I know.

What's my role ? What do I do ?

Do I...

Do I take her in my arms and make love to her,...

..show her that nothing's changed ?

No, I can't cos...

..cos that's not making love any more.

That's doing just what that man's done.

Do I avoid it ?

No, cos that's treating her like some kind of leper.

That's admitting that pervert's won.

'Won' ?

Yes.

That's a strange choice of word.

You think so ?

Yes.

Then you don't know what you're talking about.

I know what you're feeling.

It isn't nice, it's not very PC.

I know what I'm feeling.

Shall I come up with you ?

Please.

Is anyone coming round ?

My boyfriend is.

ģ I could wait for him.

ģ I'm fine.

Are you sure ?

Every man I meet sounds like him.

I keep hearing his voice.

The cab driver today, a window cleaner yesterday.

They all sound like him.

Bye.

I can give you money.

I've got a disease. I've got a really terrible disease.

You'll, you'll, you'll catch it.

The person you love gets raped.

How does that makes you feel ?

I'd say, pretty guilty.

You weren't there to protect her.

So you feel guilty.

Yes.

Something else to make you feel guilty.

Your property's been tampered with,...

..some man's had his hands on what's yours.

It's not nice, it's not PC.

But the idea's there; something more to make you feel guilty.

Yes.

Well, that's OK. That's wholesome, natural.

Now something less wholesome - you blame her.

I don't.

Why wasn't she more careful ?

A thought - maybe she wanted it ?

She didn't scream. Why not ? Maybe she wanted it ? Did she ?

Here's the killer - what did he say to her ?

'I promise you you'll enjoy it.'

Did she, mm ?

This is rape. We're talking about a man who just does it.

What about the times we weren't up to it and she was willing ?

And this man comes along with his stick of rock and does it.

Can you match that ? You can't. So you beat somebody up.

Is that why you beat up Molloy ? Is it ?

I understand, a judge and jury will understand.

Is that why you did it ?

Yes.
