Original subtitles

She was going to come round. Your wife and kids? Yes!

And stand there in front of them? Yes!

Is that why you killed her?

How do you murder a woman from behind bars?

Voodoo.

Did you kill Joyce Watkins?

Why would I kill her?

# How much is that doggie in the window?

# I do hope that doggie's for sale

(SCREAMS)

POLICE RADIO

Right!

Someone else has been killed.

Well, I have the perfect alibi, then

Do you not feel sorry for her?

Yes. But I'm sorry for me as well.

You didn't kill the woman that's just been found. Or Joyce Watkins.

But you did kill Jean McIlvanney. I didn't.

Why Shirley Temple?

Don't you lie to me!

I know you did it!

No, don't you put it down. Don't you put the phone down!

So what age were you when you met?

Eighteen. She was sixteen.

Virgin? Me? No.

Maggie. I don't know.

You didn't ask? No.

Don't believe you.

Did she say she was? Yes.

Did you believe her? Yes.

You didn't believe her.

Low self-esteem. If she let you screw her, she can't be choosy.

Must have been lots of other men before you.

Did you despise her afterwards? Slut! To let you do that ?

You can tell me. I'm a good Catholic boy.

Yes.

Is that why Shirley Temple turns you on?

I don't know what you mean.

To be the first.

I don't know what you mean.

Best of all, to be first and last.

The very first. Screw a virgin, slaughter her.

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

You killed those two women! I didn't.

You're lying.

I'm going to the police.

You knew David saw prostitutes. I didn't.

And you didn't tell me. I didn't know.

You killed my child. My Peter! For God's sake, Maggie!

As good as killed him. I gave you the only advice I could!

You killed him.

Come with me to the police. Tell them everything.

Oh, I'll tell them everything.

That's good. You're an accomplice.

What?

You told David what to do - to think of an alibi.

When the police came, you told him to burn the car

and report it stolen.

If I talk to the police, you're finished.

My goodness! 'Ey, here we go!

Rule number one. If these two do make anything, I'm on half. OK?

Rule number two, you do not take any chances.

Do not put yourselves at risk.

Do not go off with anybody, no matter who they are, OK?

You're there to observe and report back. That's all.

Observe and report back.

If a punter mentions Shirley Temple, schoolies or anything like that,

blow in right away. Got it?

Anything at all. Alan'll be standing by. Right?

Right? Right.

Alan'll be standing by. So will I, only seconds away.

So any problems at all, blow in and you're covered, OK?

That's it. Oh, one more thing.

Girls, don't go home dressed like that, OK?

Any questions?

One, sir.

Why didn't you give her one, Jimmy?

What? Denise Fletcher.

Why didn't you give her one?

I wanted to ask her a few questions.

You slept with her.

That's enough, Jane, OK?

You wanted a bit of company!

I didn't want company.

She thinks you're a sad bastard.

All right.

I admit it.

I gave her one.

I didn't want company.

I asked her a few questions, and I gave her one.

I gave her several!

Hey.

Scunthorpe!

How are you?

I've a pain in my arse. Might have something to do with you.

That pass for wit in Belfast?

I only ask because you don't look too good.

Have you checked the mirror lately? Huh.

Little blue in the lips, that's all.

It's OK, unless you get tingling in your left arm.

You haven't, have you? # (HUMS)

Have I said the wrong thing? Do you have a tingling arm?

If you do, it may be an impending heart attack.

# Come fly away with me, let's fly, let's fly away

Could be it, Jimmy.

# Come fly with me, Let's fly, let's fly away

I gave you a wee fright, didn't I? Sorry - heart rate up.

Just a little, but you can feel it. Hmm?

Oxygen required, Jimmy. Oxygen required.

You haven't taken in enough, though. Body crying out, more oxygen.

Little messages all over your body. Adrenalin required! Adrenalin!

What'll you do? Fight or flight?

But there's nobody to fight, nowhere to run.

What's the adrenalin doing to you now?

Arteries narrowing, blood pressure sky-high, heart rate up, up!

(GASPS)

More oxygen, Jimmy!

But your lungs have ceased to work. It's called hyperventilation.

Every single nerve is screaming something's wrong!

Life or death! More adrenalin, more! You know what that's doing?

Your arteries are getting smaller.

Your heart's pumping and pumping!

You're going to die, Jimmy. You are! Get it off your chest.

Guilt suffocates! Tell me! I'll tell no-one else.

I promise I will help you! I'll help!

Yes! Yeah! Yeah...

Breathe! Breathe. Blow, blow in!

Deep, deep, deep. Slow! Slow! Slow. Slow...

Stick your stomach out. Slow...

Just good friends.

Do you do French? I got an O-level at school.

I can pay you 40.

Just French? Nothing else? No.

I'm waiting for someone. Who?

A well-known popular novelist.

"How much? You name it."

"I'm waiting for someone."

"60. That's as far as I'm going."

"I'm already booked." "It won't take long."

Police. Now, piss off! (LAUGHS) Happy ID card!

Oh, he's right home now. Look!

Bilborough died because I showed compassion.

That's all I wanted in return.

Compassion. Understanding. From her.

But I got none.

She despised me for it.

She loved him. I did too.

She can turn compassion on and off like a tap. They all can.

Women?

I was 14 when I came over. I took a lot of stick.

Paddy. Mick. Get back to the bog. I knew what to do to earn respect.

Throw a few punches, take a few. But I didn't.

I hung around with the girls...

..because they showed compassion, you see, and...

..and I fell for it.

Soon I wasn't a fresh face any more. They dumped me...

..and I had to take the punches.

It was worse now, because...

..I'd been hanging around with the girls.

Women need rape.

I'm listening.

It's their weapon.

A woman goes up to the heavyweight champion of the world,

hotel bedroom, early hours.

He gives her one, he gets done for rape, ends up in the nick.

Heavyweight champion! The bravest of men!

If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. It's their weapon.

They want to keep us on our toes.

Penhaligon needs rape.

Needs raping? Needs rape.

It's her department. Her little empire.

A chance to treat me like muck because she's a woman...

..and we don't understand. That's bollocks.

She knew nothing about rape.

So you thought you'd teach her something about it, did you?

This is in confidence? Yup.

Strict confidence? Doctor-patient.

I don't believe you.

Strict confidence, Jim. Swear.

Bloody, bloody, bloody.

Swear on the life of your wife and children.

I swear on the life of my wife and children

I will not repeat anything you tell me.

Swear on the life of your newborn baby.

You're sick. I'm sick?

I swear on the life of my newborn baby

I won't repeat anything you tell me.

I never intended to rape her.

As God is my judge, I never intended it.

I just wanted to... frighten her.

I was going to pull the mask off and laugh in her face.

But something happened, and...

She looked so... Vulnerable.

Vulnerable, and weak. Frightened.

And I felt so...

..powerful.

You want to know the truth? I'll tell you.

I never had such an erection in my life!

I realised that...

..that I could do it.

That I could rape her, and get away with it.

Just walk away from it! And... that's why I did it.

Because I could.

I raped her because... because I could.

You'd have done the same thing.

Every man I know would've done it.

Did you speak to him? Yeah.

And?

Nothing.

BEEP

I had a gun in his mouth.

I couldn't pull the trigger. But that's OK. He didn't know that.

I was still in control.

Then he pulled it himself! Looked at me, laughed in my face,

and I knew what he was thinking. I didn't have the guts.

Well, I did have the guts.

I just didn't have the callousness,

the callousness required to kill, to rape. His kind of callousness!

OK? I stuck a gun in his mouth.

But I never did get even.

£15,000. What for?

The house is worth 30,000. Half of it's yours.

Ah. Don't want it.

Take it. I don't want it.

Piss it up the wall if you like, but take it!

I'll have it in readies.

Jacqui was at the funeral.

Yeah, I saw her.

She left me cos living with me was like living with the Pope,

she said. Fair comment, I'd say.

I'll bang 'em in the sink.

A woman.

Excuse me.

Hello, Maggie. Can I help you?

I'm looking for Webster Road.

Oh, right. Right at the lights.

You'll come right to it. Thanks.

I was right about somebody seen as no threat,

but wrong about the dog collar. It's another woman.

"It's Maggie Harvey." Maggie Harvey?

How many drinks have you had?

I've just seen Maggie Harvey. She asked me the way to Webster Rd.

"It's got be somebody you'd make a cup of tea for."

She knows Webster Rd. Her kids go to school there!

"Another woman - Maggie Harvey.

It's Maggie bloody Harvey, for God's sake!"

Get in, quick! Move yourself. Move it!

Can I come in? You followed me yesterday.

I need advice. I'm not a careers officer.

Look, I've got four kids, no husband and I need money. I'm desperate.

Have you been on the game before? No.

Come in.

Do you know what you get on the game?

Murdered.

You see that? That's blood, sweetheart.

Now, go home. Forget it.

You can pick and choose the punters, but most of them are weirdos anyway.

Have you ever come across him?

Shirley Temple? Yeah. Perv.

DOORBELL

I'm busy, Jimmy. What do you want?

What did you tell her? Who?

Penhaligon. You told her I was a sad bastard.

She's lying. You're lying.

How much did you charge him?

Who? Shirley Temple.

40. I'd ask for 50, he'd knock me down.

How often did you see him? Every couple of months.

About 20 times altogether, I suppose. I'm not sure.

What did you do? Straight sex.

I'd have to go coy, then he'd scream 'slut, slag' all that.

Then he'd strip me.

Straight sex. Me on top.

Why are you interested in him, anyway?

Have you got names for them all?

Just the pervs.

Do you think that's right?

To take money off a man and call him a perv behind his back?

Who are you, love? Mother Teresa?

You let him do all that to you. Doesn't that make you worse?

Well, enough of this small talk (!)

You even advertise it.

You advertise filth, then criticise the man who buys it.

All right. Get out. I'm his wife!

You call him a pervert. What does that make me?

What do you imagine he does to me?

What do you imagine, you dirty, filthy bitch?

What do you imagine? £800!

Love, I strongly advise you to go. £800. 20 times £40 a time.

That is £800 you took off him.

Yeah. I'll ask my accountant.

Has he got kids? I never asked.

I knew he was married. They all are.

Bored to death with their bleeding wives.

Four! Four!

He has got four kids!

You have been taking food out of the mouths of my children.

Him, love, not me. I earned every penny.

"Charlie 946 Delta Bravo Uniform."

Yes! Nice one, Jimmy.

Who? Jane Penhaligon.

Now and again, yeah.

What about? Just to say hello.

Did she ask about me? No.

Did you like her? No.

Why not?

Because.

Did he make her laugh?

Look, he's stupid.

She's young enough to be his daughter. Forget it

I can't.

Did you talk to your dad about her?

Yeah.

And?

I told him he was acting like a pillock. He agreed.

Said he couldn't help it.

He said he couldn't help it? Yeah.

He said that he couldn't help it?!

Yup.

OK. Bye.

Stick Insect's been on. They need your help.

I won't be long.

Don't forget your cape! DOOR SHUTS

A grown-up woman pretending to be a little girl.

She told me how often David had been with her,

and how often he'd been with all the others.

I saw blood.

Her face was covered in blood,

and I realised that I had picked something up and I was hitting her.

I just couldn't stop hitting her.

Why, Maggie? Sexual disgust?

You felt betrayed? Money.

I don't believe that.

Money's life and death.

Money's blood.

I'd killed her.

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't understand it.

I went home,

and after a while I COULD understand it.

What did you always say, Michael?

Poverty, disease, the death of a child -

try to see some purpose in it all?

I did see a purpose.

I found a chisel.

David's sperm?

We did make love that night, but that was because...

..he knew it was going to be the last.

I went back to her flat.

The door was still open.

I hit her with the chisel,

put David's sperm inside her and put the chisel inside her.

She was alive when you did that. She died in hospital.

Know how you got away with it for so long? It wasn't the sperm.

It was the chisel.

That had to be a man. No woman could do that to another woman.

But you had to, you forced yourself, because that's what your husband did.

Did you think about him when you stuck it in?

You didn't think about THEM - Joyce, Paula.

You had to despise them, think of them as not human. Yes?

Did you think of your own daughters?

Course not! They were somebody's daughters.

There would be a mother somewhere, sobbing.

What DID you think about, Maggie?

What could drive you, madden you so much to do that?

Peter.

Who's Peter? They were all Peter.

Joe, Matthew, Teresa, Joan.

I called them Peter before they were born.

Peter died?

I killed Peter.

Before he was born? An abortion?

But that's not a crime, is it?

The murder of an innocent baby isn't a crime.

The murder of a filthy prostitute is.

You loved David.

You love a man, you make love with a man, you have a baby.

But babies cost money, and there's never enough money,

so you talk about abortion.

You go and see Michael for advice.

What does Michael say?

Michael says that we will be welcome in his church no matter what we do.

I was trying to make it easier.

I didn't want it made easier! I wanted you to say no!

I'm a good Catholic. I believe!

I go along to my priest, a lifetime of sacrifice.

All I ask is that he protect the child growing in my womb.

But he won't.

I did the best I could. For David!

David cried after we got rid of the baby.

And it helped,

because it made me realise that it was hard for him too.

He was sharing the pain.

Then you found out there WAS enough money.

He wasn't sharing the pain.

He wasn't crying for our baby. It was guilt!

There was enough money, after all.

But he was spendin' it all on those bloody women.

You ask me how I could put a chisel in another woman.

It was easy, when I thought of my baby.

Whatever mess I made of them,

it was nothing compared to what they did to my baby.

Are you ready to tell this to the police, Maggie?

Yes.

BEEPING

I killed the woman called Joyce. I killed the woman called Paula.

I killed Jean McIlvanney.

I know that's a lie.

I killed Jean McIlvanney.

I killed the woman called -

Your husband killed Jean McIlvanney.

You killed Joyce, you killed Paula.

I killed them all.

You're worried about the kids.

I followed him.

I saw him pick up Jean McIlvanney.

I saw them try to get money from the cashpoint.

Everything happened as you said, except I killed Jean McIlvanney.

It's daft both of you going down.

You stand no chance.

Confess to all three, he'll look after the kids, hm?

I'm telling the truth.

Two victims, three... Makes no difference, hm?

It does. Ten, fifteen years' time.

Trust me, a parole board likes a good motive.

'She killed twice so her man could get out of prison.' Understandable.

But three times? Out of spite? Out of hatred?

They'll let you rot.

I killed Jean McIlvanney.

Do you believe in heaven, Maggie? Yes.

And hell? Yes.

And I'd burn in hell for eternity to protect my children.

I killed Jean McIlvanney, I killed a woman called Joyce, and Paula.

My husband is innocent. Please let him home to look after my children.

We know he did it!

Can you prove it? Yes, given more time!

What have you got now? I've got identification!

That's useless. No-one denies he had sex with the woman,

but did he kill her? Yes, he did.

Ah - sorry. We need more than your opinion.

They'll let him go. He's the last man to see her alive.

No-one's denying that either.

But not the last person to see her alive.

The last person to see her alive was his own bloody wife.

And she's a bloody liar. Convince me.

It's not our problem. You know what I mean.

We pass this to the CPS, let them deal with it.

We haven't got a case! No forensic, nothing!

Nothing to link him with the crime.

They're letting the bastard go. Cool it.

What? I said cool it.

Who do you think you are? Who are you trying to impress?

I just said, cool it. ARGUMENT

Trying to impress Lady Jane? I'm just asking, that's all.

You're a DC, right? You're a DC, and I'm a DS.

So don't try to score points. Right? Right.

What - we'll think of something. You let that man go?

Let that man go. WHAT?

Nothing.

We're letting David Harvey go.

He's not the first man to get off scot free, Jimmy.

Do you want him punished? Bloody hypocrite!

Do you want him punished?

He's guilty, so you must. Let her go.

Piss off, Jimmy!

I want to hear whether you want him punished.

(LIVERPOOL ACCENT) Calm down!

Stay out of this. What is up with you?

He's guilty, right? And I'll do it.

I'll do it! I just want to hear you say yes or bloody no!

Aye aye! I want her to answer the question!

Who do you think you are, Jeremy bloody Paxman?

When I was a kid it was all in Latin.

I thought the priest was saying, 'I bet I can beat you at dominoes.'

When the plate came round, I thought it was collecting bets.

Why are you pursuing him? I'm pursuing the truth.

People who spout about truth

are usually the biggest liars in the world.

It doesn't bother you he's got away with murder?

He'll remember that night as long as he lives.

He's lost his wife because of it.

His kids have lost their mother because of it.

How has he got away with it?

You'll see yourselves out.

I'm going to make my mother a millionaire.

Going to the casino? Bang on.

You promised you wouldn't gamble. This doesn't count.

Cheap sentimentality. I'll explain later.

Cheap sentimentality!

Mr Harvey? Yeah?

You're under arrest.

What for? Get in the car.

What for? Get in the car!

Jesus!

Get in!

I'll tell you why I joined the police, Mr Harvey.

When I was a kid, this copper walked up and down our street.

That was when coppers COULD walk up and down our street.

He was a big man.

You kept your nose clean, you were OK.

If you stepped out of line you got a clip around the ear.

Everyone respected him. I wanted to be like that man.

But I can't be like that man.

They've all gone. Those days are all gone.

Now if you give someone a clip round the ear, you end up in court.

I know men who've been killed.

Let me out of this car. I know men who've been killed.

Good men.

Better men than me. Better coppers than me.

Their killers are still living. Banged up, yeah, but still living,

treated like bloody heroes because they've killed a copper.

I believe in atonement, Mr Harvey.

If you're guilty, you should atone.

And we're both guilty, Mr Harvey.

I'm with the suspect David Harvey.

I'm taking him to the roof of the Ramada.

We're going to jump off together. Over.

Jimmy, what the hell are you playing at?

"What the bloody hell are you playing at? Over."

You're not fit to lick Bilborough's boots, never mind fill them,

you scruffy Scouse bastard!

I want an ARV at the hotel.

If he looks like jumping, shoot the bastard.

Does that make you feel like confessing, Mr Harvey?

Did you kill Jean McIlvanney?

Trouble is, it's confession under duress.

Inadmissible. The judge'll throw it out.

That's the way it is these days. Everything designed to get you off.

There's a wonderful...

What's the word I'm looking for?

Irony. There's a wonderful irony, isn't there, Mr Harvey?
