The person you love gets raped. How does that make you feel?

I'd say pretty guilty.

In his mind it wasn't rape.

Do you fantasise aboput rape?

'He wears a mask.'

'Nothing unusual. Lots of rapists wear a mask.'

'But he tries to form a relationship with his victim.'

A masked rapist would not do that.'

'The mask gets in the way.'

'It's frightening. It's aggressive.'

'There's something about this man's face.'

TAPE OFF

'You know all this by talking to the victims.' Yeah.

'Do you realise what you're saying?'

You tell me.

If you hadn't spoken to the victims,...

..you wouldn't know about his mask, or scars.

'If I was him, you'd advise me to kill my victims in the future?'

'Fitz, I'm taking him off.'

'I don't quite get the question.'

Should the rapist kill his victims in the future? Forget morality.

If he lets them live, there's more chance he'll get caught. So should he kill?

'Is that what you advise?'

'Next caller is Jane from Eccles.'

'No, not Jane from Eccles. Jane Eccles from Salford.'

Have you seen Penhaligon?

No.

ENGAGED TONE

'Show me a man, and I will show you a potential killer,

a potential rapist.'

'I am one, for goodness' sake.'

'I don't do anything about it because I'm frightened of being caught.'

'Because I'm educated.

The product of thousands of years of so-called civilisation.'

'But he's in me — the killer, the rapist.'

Buried deep, growling occasionally like the tomcat in the alley.

What are you doing here?

I needed a bath and a change of clothes, sir.

You don't just walk off the job because you want a bath!

I left you in charge.

I um...

I've been raped, sir.

Can I get you anything?

Sorry?

Can I get you a drink or something?

I've got one, thanks.

You don't mind if I get one?

No.

It was the man we're looking for.

A knife, a hood, the same kind of mask.

What are you gonna do about it?

I don't know, actually.

I've got evidence under my nails.

You've had a bath.

I know you've protected your hand, but...you've had a BATH.

I had to have a...bath.

I'm sorry, I know there's no logic to it.

But I just had to have a bath.

No, it's me, I'm sorry.

Stroke of luck, isn't it, sir?

That's not what I mean. Isn't it?

We wanted him to rape again.

I wanted him to rape again,...

..but to slip up, leave us something.

And now we've got exactly what we wanted.

It's no good to us unless you report it.

Are you going to report it?

I've counselled...

..14 victims.

So I've got to report it.

Haven't I?

Otherwise I've given 14 women a heap of...bullshit.

I don't think I can live with that.

I want them back. Today.

That's impossible.

You know that.

I am not having a bunch of coppers going through my knickers.

I want them back today or I'll walk out right now.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

This is just for - I know what it's for.

You're not burning that bra? It's a bit sixties, isn't it?

I'm in favour of women's movements.

I hate it when they just lie there.

I think your phone's off the hook.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey...!

Get off me.

Floyd.

Sorry?

My name's Floyd.

Is it?

# OASIS: SHAKERMAKER

Shall I do a duet on that mouth organ? Your feet hum.

I'm afraid Fleming beat you to the penicillin. God!

How long have you been up?

Why haven't you tidied up?

I was going to. Oh, yeah? When?

In a bit.

You know, you could be a member of the lost generation.

The crisis of capitalism has robbed you of work, ambition, self-esteem.

DOORBELL

That could well be the case.

Although personally, Mark, personally...

I think you're just a bone-idle git!

THUNDER

Dr Fitzgerald? Yes.

He wore a mask just like you described it today.

Yeah?

Anything else?

You think I'm lying?

No.

You think I'm lying. Some crank.

You want me to come up with something I didn't hear on the radio.

Yeah.

He asked me my name.

I said Bernadette. God knows where I got it from but I said Bernadette.

He wanted to know who was the first person I'd screwed.

What it was like.

He never stopped talking.

And all the time he talked, he combed my hair.

Then he dragged me into a stream, washed me.

That fit? Yes.

Yes.

When was this?

Two years ago, this December. December 17th.

And you didn't report it?

No.

Say it. Say what?

If I had, he might have been caught. I'd have spared those women this.

I wasn't thinking that. For 2 years, I haven't read the paper.

I don't read it, I don't find out he's done it again in the same way.

I don't feel all this guilt. Then you come on the radio...

They'd have done nothing. That's what I tell myself.

I'm black. He's black.

I report a rape, the coppers think I'm a prostitute who didn't get paid.

You've got absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.

You say he was black? Yeah.

He wore a mask?

Yeah.

Well, how do you know?

The way he spoke.

I'm telling you, he's white.

He is black.

Penhaligon said so. She'd know.

Why? Why should Penhaligon know?

Haven't you heard?

What?

He raped her.

I wish you'd told me.

I'm really sorry.

Jane? Jane?

Jane?

We'll catch this man.

We will catch him.

Are you OK?

Yes.

Then he put the knife to my throat.

Then he went...

Do you mind if I...?

Then he put the knife to my throat.

Then he went like that.

Then he must have pulled me, or...

..spun me round. I can't remember.

He started to back me up to another wall.

Why didn't you scream?

I hit the other wall.

Hurt the back of my head. I offered him money, said I had a disease.

But there were people living there. Why didn't you just scream?

Because I...

..I was frightened.

(CRYING)

Do you mind if I ask you something?

You told your boss he was white.

Did you see enough of him to know?

Yes.

We'll get this fella, love.

We're gonna get this guy. Right?

Right.

What did he say?

Nothing.

He said absolutely nothing?

Yeah.

It's not the man. The man we're looking for is black.

No. You said he was black but you were wrong.

He's black.

Did he use water...

Did he use water, did he make you wash?

No.

Different MO.

Different man.

You were raped by somebody else.

You know this man.

It's someone you know with a distinctive voice. That's why he said nothing.

You're talking bollocks. Hey! Hey, that will do.

Take her home. Go on, off you go. Put your feet up.

I'll be in touch.

Can I come and see you?

Passports cost money. You understand that?

I can't get no money with no passport.

Passports cost money.

My birth certificate. Liverpool, England.

I need to check if this is OK. Will you wait in room two?

Why? I'm sorry, Mr Malcolm?

Why you put me in trap two, eh?

We'd like to talk to you in private, Mr Malcolm.

Room two, please, Mr Malcolm.

I'd advise you to take this chance to withdraw your claim.

Why? You drive a minicab.

Who told you? They're a liar.

It was a police officer.

He lie, man.

I strongly advise you to withdraw your claim, Mr Malcolm.

I know where you live.

Is that a threat, Mr Malcolm?

You think it's someone I know? Yeah.

Then he's seen me...with you.

Overweight, skint.

Drunk, middle-aged.

If she'll go with him, she's anybody's?

Yeah.

I could get you a white stick, for when we're out together in public.

It's that old devil displacement.

You're angry at the rapist, and you vent it on the first man available.

I'd like you to go. Please.

Just go.

Clench your fists.

Why?

Trust me. Clench your fists. No.

Please. Just clench them.

Clench them.

Tightly.

All your pain, all your anger is in those fists.

Clench them, tightly.

Please let me go.

No.

No. See, Deborah, this isn't down to you.

It's down to your husband.

The way he treats people...

..down the soshe.

Black people. People like me, in particular.

I have to hurt your husband.

And I'm sorry, but there's only one way I know of doing that.

I've got to do it! I've got to do it!

I'm thinking about Helen.

You get to the bottom of the stairs.

Hand in a glove.

OK, I won't let anyone harm you. I promise.

I promise.

What sort of a glove?

Does it have a smell?

It's... it's leather.

It feels brand-new.

I...hit the wall.

'A brand-new pair of leather gloves.'

'I'm gonna catch this man.'

'He does this.'

He's close?

'He hurt you, someone I care about.'

Yes.

Breathing on you?

Whisky.

'Leather gloves, whisky.'

He's...

'He's not short of money.' ..pulling me,...

'Maybe got a decent job.'

..turning me,...

..pushing me backwards.

I bang my head on the wall, the back of my head,...

..but he's still pushing me.

He's very close?

He smokes cigarettes.

Drinks whisky. He smokes cigarettes. Yeah...

What else?

There's another smell.

(SNIFFS)

From his clothes?

From him?

It's from him.

'Leather gloves, drinks whisky. It's not a young man.'

It's aftershave.

Aftershave?

You remember this aftershave.

Yes.

You will remember the exact smell you are smelling now.

You will remember this.

You will remember this till we find this man,

and we will find him, believe me.

Oxford Road please, pal. I've got a train to catch.

Will you get out of the car, please, sir?

Floyd Malcolm?

Yeah.

You've been seen picking up fares from the public highway.

That contravenes the Local government Miscellaneous Provisions Act.

Can you come to the station, sir?

Two police cars! Have they nothing better to do?

You're a hypocrite. No! Tell me what he's done wrong.

You go on about the coppers, but you phoned them when we got burgled.

That's different. He only picked up on the street.

Floyd, will you eat your food?

You should do what I do, have nothing to do with 'em.

Right? If they can't be trusted...

Wrong. People are getting raped and murdered, and what are they doing?

Arresting cab drivers for picking up on the street!

Floyd?

'I took your advice.'

Who's speaking?

'You're the man from the radio?' Yeah.

'19 Stevenage Drive. You'll see her in the bath.'

Will she charge me for a peek (?)

'No. She's dead.'

'I took your advice, you see.'

I didn't give you any advice.

You gave me advice, man! You gave me advice!

She's dead, and it's down to you! I took your advice!

'What do I get for raping all these women?'

Life, hopefully.

'And for killing them?'

What do I get for killing them?

'Life.'

'Now they're dying. It's down to you!'

You need help.

If you hadn't poked your nose in, I'd have given them one and let them go!

'Did you rape in Belle Vale?' You HAD to poke your nose in.

'So they're dying.'

Did you rape yesterday in Belle Vale?

No!

Are you black?

We're dealing with human beings. One of them has been killed!

For a young black male.

Shut up!

To you it's some intellectual game, a chance to show off on the radio.

Are you finished? YOU are.

He's got his own transport. He's scarred...

This is a dream come true.

Yeah?

I pass a girl, I clock the time.

She may be dead, five minutes later. The case hangs on me.

A speeding car, I clock the time, take the number. Who knows?

Was she murdered?

Well, her death's...suspicious.

Not till the morning.

I'll need to use the bathroom soon.

Perhaps you could use next door's.

Yeah.

Will I have to sleep down here?

Is there nowhere else you can stay the night?

My boss died a while ago.

'I'm sorry.'

And... I dunno, I don't really fit in without him.

'You were fond of him?'

Yeah. See...

I went to see a man with no hair.

We were looking for men with no hair.

And this man told me he had cancer.

And...

..because I felt sorry for him, I believed him.

And... he killed my boss.

'That must be terrible for you.'

Yeah.

I showed a bit of compassion, you see.

That was my big mistake.

Because there's no place for it. Not in my job.

Well, not in my bloody world.

And they all know. They all know it was down to me.

She knows, she knows it was down to me.

So she thinks she can treat me like muck.

But she'd have done the bloody same.

Compassion...!

The job's full of it.

It's full of... It's full of women.

Rape counsellors, victim-support counsellors.

I want to shout at them, 'Forget the bloody compassion!'

'Let's just get back to the way things were.'

Cos... compassion only gets you killed.

'Have you spoken to her?'

Who?

'Your female colleague.'

This boozer will be packed by now.

'Barman, give us a pint of lager...'

Is your mother here?

Yeah.

No, I don't. No.

I love you when you lie.

You think honesty is your best quality. It isn't.

I love you when you're kind enough to lie.

You've bought a new double bed.

Mm. I'll get rid of it.

It's brand-new. I'll get rid of the old one.

No. Let's keep the old one.

Why?

Because it's where we made this baby.

I'm never going to change you, Fitz.

I've accepted that.

But a baby might.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

And no smoking when I'm around.

From now till the baby's born.

Stevenage Drive. 19 Stevenage Drive.

'I know where you live.'

No, a man said that to me yesterday.
