Bye.

Nightmare, isn't it?

I'm just going to take off here in a whisper.

Tightens it all up.

Never listen.

Look, you should have asked, um... You know, he's got a card in the window at

the news lady.

Tony! Stop that.

Don't eat this.

What is this?

You've got to tell him something about the game. I ain't trusting none of them

down there. They're all cowboys.

You know who you're going to kill.

You should try putting one in there yourself.

Can you get the kids?

The kids?

I can't do everything at once, can I?

Pete! Pete!

Oi!

Bastard!

Sorry. Lonely for that.

Do you want a bucket?

No, it's a bit late, isn't it?

Stay to me!

Come on.

It's Mrs. Wald.

I haven't got a clue where the caretaker is, love.

But he's never around when you need him, is he? I'll go on up then, before these

get cold. You do that, love.

You're going to have to walk it.

Bleeding lips broken again.

It's me, love.

It's Mrs.

Walls. Ain't it?

I'm late, I know, love. But I can't stop for a chat now.

I'll just pop it into the oven.

Need a bit of heating up.

I'll be on time tomorrow.

It's way after one now.

Oh, it's half past one.

We'll have a cup of tea tomorrow, all right, love?

Hello?

Oh.

Cheers, mate.

Is Julie with you? No, she's gone in for dinner.

Will you bloody get in and all?

Tell your mum I'm going to the news later.

Can I have an ice cream?

You ain't had your dinner yet.

Gits.

Till I'm getting a plumber sorted.

Well, I said ten minutes.

Julie with Pete?

Gonna get a plumber.

Why can't we have chips?

Because you've got mass.

Put those in the oven.

Why they couldn't wait for after.

We back up the newsagents over to the building site.

She's not there.

Was she at Barbara's? No, I don't have mine.

Who was that here when you were playing?

I don't know.

Have you seen her, Ivan?

No, they haven't. I've already asked them. Wait.

Who is she with, Sharon?

He doesn't know. I've asked him over and over.

All right, we'll get yourself back inside then, just in case she tells you.

She's not in there, Pete.

How would you know if you were down here?

Now, don't panic, all right?

We'll find her.

Did you go to the ice cream van?

That's where mine always go.

No, she's not there. Well, how do you know if you don't go and look? Because I

already asked him.

All right?

Come on.

Julie!

Flat number 90.

She's very friendly, so she might be in someone's flat.

Right, well, we'll check that out.

Now, I just want to go over a few details with you.

Can you remember the last time that you actually saw Julianne?

About 12 .30. She was there when I looked over the balcony.

Down in the playground, yeah? She was playing by a puddle.

And did anyone else see her after 12 .30?

No, I sent Pete out to go and look for them, but he said he couldn't find them.

Then?

Yeah, she was with Jason.

I'd got their dinner on the table.

It's all over your site. It's nothing.

Now, do you have a recent photograph of Julianne?

TSG are coming in and probably Pulsar too. In the meantime... Quiet!

In the meantime, I want a full house -to -house. It's a very big estate, and the

girl's only five years old.

All right, Skipper, who have we got?

There comes some brown, felt, barrage.

And do you see Meg Richards is on family liaison? Meg, I want you to go straight

over to the estate. The mother's Nanita Harris, age 34.

She's pregnant, by the way, four months. She's got a...

Toddler, age two, and a boy Jason, nine.

Well, this is Peter and Jane's character.

Yep, he's the living boyfriend, age 27, unemployed, checking records now.

There's also a Thomas Harris. She was married to him, divorced three years

He's with the Army Reserves in Ireland.

And he's the little girl's real father.

Mother said she was in the playground with Jason at the time. Yeah, and two

other kids. Checked them both out. Drove off the estate.

Seems they went in for their lunch and left the little girl playing alone.

All right, she's been missing for over five hours now, so come on, let's get

moving.

Keep going over and over.

Keep seeing her.

She's a good girl.

But she's no angel.

She's no trouble.

Friendly.

Very friendly.

But she knows not to go with strangers.

I'm the grandmother.

She's going to come over and look after the necklace.

No one, no news, nothing.

Never worked yet. I'm sorry.

I'm around everyone she knows.

Everyone on the estate.

We're all helping look for her.

It's very kind.

Everyone's very, very kind.

They'll find her.

Do you think they'll find her?

She could have crawled and...

She's a bit inquisitive.

You know.

Naughty. Do you know the exact time?

Oh, Ryan, I told you, leave it!

Sorry, sorry about that.

Yeah, about one -ish. Yeah, one o 'clock. I was getting my kids in for

This bloke, real elky, always messing with the kids, lives at

Corner Flat, number 12 on House Parade.

Michael Dunn.

I don't want my name mentioned.

I don't know anything.

Can you open the door, love? It's the police.

Yeah, hello, can you just open the door?

Oh, yeah, I'm Police Constable Barrage. We're doing a flat -to -flat inquiry

about a little girl from number 19, Julie Harris.

I don't know anybody here.

I don't know anything. I haven't seen anything. Hey, come on, pal. We're just

making a few inquiries.

Well,

thanks very much for your assistance, Mr Hall.

But your balcony overlooks the playground, doesn't it?

Did you see anything at all today? All about lunchtime?

Mrs Ward was late.

Late with my lunch.

Yeah, can I just have your name?

What do you want to know about me for? Oh, just to eliminate you from my

inquiries, to note down that we asked you a few questions.

Yeah, are you Mrs Edith Shaw?

Mrs Enid Marsh.

I'm 78.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry to bother you, love.

Thanks for your time.

Hey, Tom.

Thomas Harris.

Little girl's real father.

He's in the clear.

He's in Ireland with his regiment.

Peter James is too previous and he's on probation for handling stolen bricks.

Probably an victim from the building site.

But in 89, he was arrested for indecent assault.

Chars dropped.

Go and question Peter James.

There's any place, anyone that she'd gone to see.

And they've got this nice woman looking after Tony. And Jason's hard to sleep.

Yeah, well, I'd like to wring his bloody neck.

It's his fault.

I said to him, I said look out for Julie. Jason never listens to a word you

him. Is the thing fixed? No.

Everything's been taken care of. You're going to make yourself ill. And Jonah

has that baby now, dear.

She's my baby, Mum.

Julie.

Oh, God, don't let anything have happened to her.

I've said all this.

What times do you want to keep making me repeat myself?

I should be out there.

Come on, son, you've been out there all afternoon. Mrs Harris needs you here.

Why'd you say that?

Do you know, sir?

No,

you know we don't, but there's 50 men out there searching. Well, I sat in the

same way while he keeps making me go over and over it.

You said there was something about an ice -cream van.

It was an ice -cream van. I went up to the man and said, he's seen Julie.

Now, you listen to me. Everyone's calling her Julianne. Well, her name's

We call her Julie.

I'm just trying to pinpoint the last time she was seen with subjects.

One o 'clock. I've told you, one o 'clock.

Connect them up over here.

Why don't you check upstairs and tell everyone it's all right? All right.

Let's go.

Julie! Julie!

You've all been issued with a statement on missing child Julie Ann Harris, and

we'd be grateful for all the publicity you can give. Obviously, the longer that

she's missing, the more worrying it is. Now, Julie Ann Harris is only five years

old. She was last seen at between 12 .30 and 1 o 'clock this afternoon.

Now, she was wearing a green pleated skirt.

at all, so please contact the incident room at this police station on 0171 291

4753 or get in touch with their local police station.

It's flooded.

Oh, God, we could get a truck.

Yeah, we need to get wider.

All

right?

What's going on, Fudge?

I think

they

give us a hand.

All they're doing is catching coffee and sandwiches.

Have you checked that corner flat? On our parade.

If you haven't, you should do.

For the first place I'd look, it said drunk.

Well, they've been checked over, haven't they?

Yeah, clear.

Roger, ma 'am, we're taking out a number 12 howitz parade.

Michael Dunn, suspect, over.

Mr.

Dunn!

Michael Dunn!

It's not like there's anyone there, Sarge.

See anything?

No.

Too late!

Mr. James.

What?

Can I speak to you a moment?

I'm ready.

Do you know if Julianne knows a Michael Dunn?

Who told her?

He's one of the residents. He lives in one of the corner flats. Who, my

Who? Dunn. Long hair, bit of a drink problem. He likes playing with the kids.

Jesus Christ.

Mate, I... Julianne knows some black Michael Dunn. I'll be in state.

Well...

I will.

I don't know.

I don't know.

What do you live for?

Leave her! Leave her! Has this man got her? I was only asking if Julie Ann knew

this. Julie!

Her name is Julie, not Julie Ann.

I'm staying here. You can't stop me.

No, we can't stop you, Mr James, but it's better for your wife for you to be

here. I'm coming with you.

I'm coming with you, Pete!

You took a tumble.

Mum, some of the residents are talking about a Michael Dunn. They've been

checked out now.

Yeah, well, it's just that the winos from round there, they either hold up in

the Dalek factory or there's a park in the gents' toilet.

Well, they meet up there, of course, from the job centre.

Well, this is further. They've got their jar raised, which is... Yeah, we'll

see. It's Friday now.

I'm on my way.

What have we got on this, Michael Dunn? Nothing but persistent... Don't stop

that! Oi!

Get him back!

What are you doing there?

They're chucking bricks at us now. I'd say we had a pretty foolproof case for

checking the place out for damage.

Well, it has been over 12 hours, ma 'am.

So maybe we're looking for a body.

Mr Dunn?

Michael Dunn This is the place

Don't touch anything, will you?

Looks like a little video shop's missing a few videos.

Terminator.

Die Hard 1, Die Hard 2.

Lion King.

My Little Pony.

Hook and Child's Play.

Well, we can get him on theft.

There's a doll in there.

Oh.

If you think this place stinks, you should go into that bedroom.

You find anything in here?

No.

No kids' clothes or anything?

Nothing.

I think I've got two officers in the front door, just in case someone tries

break in. Yeah, right.

Phil?

Shall we take those videos?

Yep.

Right, let's get out of here.

Do you want to create the Michael Dunn yet?

No, but I've interviewed the newsagent. He remembers Peter James coming in and

said it was about 1 .15ish.

Morning. Morning, Mum. But he didn't see Julie, and he said it was about... Half

-past one or quarter to two when Peter James returned to ask about it. So we've

not got one other person who's all to be in after about half -past twelve,

quarter to one?

No. What, not one resident on the estate saw anything?

No, it's a bad time.

Most of them are sitting down for their lunch or out at work.

Working? Not in that estate. Most of them are unemployed.

The rest of them have never had a job.

Do you mind?

Anything else come in?

The usual sick bastards, but nothing to follow up on.

What about TV appeal? Do you think they'd agree to it?

I don't think so.

I'll get Meg to speak to the parents.

Maybe she should ask if Julie had a doll with her as well.

Yeah.

It's not looking good, is it?

I've contacted Emmett, but they're not keen to come in on this until we've got

body.

Satan, stop that.

Hello? Uh -huh.

I put Tony down.

Jason,

stop that.

Shh, Jason, just let me call you.

You OK?

Yeah.

Can be a real handful sometimes with his dad.

I haven't contacted him. I can take care of that.

Oh, no.

They'll find her, won't they?

I mustn't give up hope.

Why don't you sit down?

Come on.

Anita, do you know if Julie had any sort of toy with her?

A doll, perhaps.

How would you like to do a television appeal?

Will you?

Yes. Mrs. Harris and Mr. James will be allowing you to take photographs during

her statement.

Thank you.

If anyone saw my little girl, if anyone knows where she is,

don't... Don't harm

her.

Leigh, don't hurt her.

If you know where she is... If you know where she

is, you can help in any way.

Where's Julie, Gran?

We wanted for her to come home.

Gran, where's Julie?

You're over here, Sarge.

What you got?

You want shoes that she wears?

Black paint, T -strap.

You don't need to go around the other side. There's somebody in there.

with some more photos.

I have some nice ones of Julie's birthday party.

Pete?

Do you want to choose your favourite?

Very bad news, I'm afraid.

I'm so, so sorry.

Detective Superintendent Walker from Ammit coming in to head the murder

Right, let's get everything downstairs and the incident room up and running.

can you make sure that this new team have got all the files and all the

that we have available? Also, Walker wants an officer already familiar with

inquiry to join the Ammit murder squad, and that will be me.

What's he like, Miss Walker?

I used to work here in Division.

I wouldn't see if it's top drawer, do you know what I mean?

Ma, we've traced the Mrs.

Walsh's mails on wheels.

Good. Anything else?

Yeah. We've also traced this guy, Kenneth Poole.

He's the ice cream man. He's coming in.

Oh.

Ice cream seller's got a sheet.

Another one of the Dirty Mac Brigade.

Concerning the management of a disorderly house. And he's selling ice

children.

It's him.

What the hell, it's Walker.

Ah, Detective Superintendent Michael Walker, is that right?

Good to meet you. Oh, yeah.

Where can I hang this? I'll take that, sir.

I'm, um... I'm sorry, sir. I'm Detective Inspector Patricia North, sir.

Nice to meet you.

I'm told one of your best is to join my team.

Yeah, that's me, sir.

The post -mortem's due to begin in about 15 minutes, sir.

Brief me on the way.

That Detective Superintendent Walker and that... They're gowning up.

Do you mind if I look over your shoulder on this one?

It's all right by me.

You know Arnold Mallory, everyone?

Apparently our forensic friends are uptight about them removing her from the

site. Too bloody true we are.

Make sure you get a French from her as soon as possible, yeah.

my little one.

Let's find out what happened to you.

Now, the grandmother's agreed to identify the body. It works with her

Meg?

I'm sorry, sir. DC Meg Richards, family liaison.

Now, do you want to be at the identification?

Yes, I do.

Okay, let's listen up, everybody.

We have D .I. North, Sergeant Donaldson, walking alongside us, plus backup from

uniform.

I've just come from post -mortem. Body has been identified as Julie Ann Harris.

Dave, D .I. North, Sergeant Sato.

Nice to meet you.

D .C. Soames and Harrods.

Over here we have Smith. Smith.

Macklin. No.

Morrissey. No.

Grimes. Wright Cranham, exhibits officer. D .I. North. Good to meet you.

You, ma 'am.

You're not.

What are people going to say about you?

And if you don't care, at least let Anita sleep.

Anita, Anita, Anita. Yeah, everyone's running around saying how she is. What

about me, eh? You thought about me?

Well, you're not pregnant.

And she wasn't even your daughter.

How long are you going to be?

For as long as I'm needed.

When are they going to let us bury her?

back to my van, and it wouldn't start.

I saw the same young man near the ice cream van.

And you're absolutely sure it was the same young man you recognized when you

first entered the block?

Yes.

Youngish, long hair, long, dark coat, but I can't describe his face.

You didn't see anyone else in the playground area?

No. The playground was empty.

So by the time you delivered Mrs. Marsh's lunch and returned to your van,

about... What?

1 .35, no later.

I was parked at my pitch at 12 .30.

Are you absolutely sure about that, Mr Poole?

Yeah, it was... It was 12 .30, there was no -one around, and then this bloke.

Can you describe him?

Long hair, black coat.

He'd come and ask me if I'd seen his little girl.

I said I hadn't.

You didn't see any children in the playground?

No. I usually hang around the Alpha State till 2, 2 .30.

You know, catch them before dinner, then after.

Then I move them off to my pitch at the comprehensive school.

Thank you, Mr. Poole. Sign your statement. You can go.

Okay. Is that it?

Thanks.

Well, that could be more help.

Oh, just one thing, Mr. Poole.

Are your employers aware of your criminal record?

I don't know.

Thank you, Mr. Poole. No trace of Michael Dunn?

Not yet. We're covering every known winery's haunt, every gent toilet, car

probation, shopping precinct, homeless shelters, drug rehab units, you name it.

Yeah, okay, okay.

Look, I'm still having problems with the exact time that Julianne went missing.

Julianne's stepfather, Peter James, says he would have to look for her about

one, but according to Ice Cream Cellar, it was more like 1230.

But... A mules on wheels woman says it was more like 1 .30 when the guy with

long hair bumped into her at the lift.

Did Peter James give a description of what he was wearing the day he went out

looking for Julianne?

Well, we believe that he was wearing a long... Long dark coat.

Well, that's what he's wearing for the search, anyway.

Did you check it out?

No, it's been very difficult to question Mr. James. He's under a lot of strain.

He's very volatile.

It may be difficult, Inspector, but let me remind you that in 50 % of cases like

this, the offender comes from within the existing family.

You question him.

Right, you lot.

Sir... Who have we got?

Right. Cronham, Soames and D .C. Harrells will join with Constables...

Phelps, Barrage.

From Division.

Priority. Find the girl's missing clothes.

We're retracing every area of the search now, sir. More important, pick up

Michael bloody Dunn.

There's an absolute moonlight in the corner.

What colour was her anorak?

Blue and red.

He's got it.

OK.

As you can see, she has bruising and abrasion to her shoulder, upper arm,

and buttocks.

The abrasions have been sustained from her being pushed into the sewage pipe.

But you can see there's been a vital reaction around the bruises to the

which means the child was still alive when placed in the sewage pipe.

There's a piece of red and blue nylon rope ligated around the neck, but she

not die of strangulation.

There are petechial hemorrhages on the face and scalp, also consistent with

death from asphyxia in the pipe.

She was forced into a folded position, her head resting on her knees.

She died of suffocation approximately two hours later, judging by the colour

the bruising and the blood coagulation.

Quite a rare blood group, by the way.

AB negative.

Or is she sexually assaulted?

There's a ruptured hymen and extensive bruising to her genitals, consistent

penetration with a blunt rounded object such as the neck of a bottle.

Blood on her underwear, but no traces of semen.

And some of the bruising to her body is yellowish brown and diffuse, which means

it's a couple of weeks old.

A couple of weeks old?

Yep.

And according to Arnold Mallory, our little lady had cereal and orange juice

breakfast. We also have traces of milk, proteins, nuts, such as an ice cream

consumed a couple of hours before she died.

Can you give us a time on near enough?

Death occurred between three and seven. That's the best I can do.

Any chance you can tell us if it definitely was ice cream?

You need to talk to forensics. But if she ate an ice cream and they had a

or wrapper,

There could be DNA.

The rope was wound round her throat twice and pulled.

No knot.

Loop one end.

Free end has been cut.

Now, the loop has traces of paint on the inside.

Layer structure.

Brown over green. As if attached to a post.

So what are you saying?

Find the post.

And you can match the paint.

Oh, yes.

He's got shoe casts on him.

This is ridiculous.

Grounds Perfect are calling for Mallory.

And they're worth a couple of hundred quid, ain't they?

What?

I'm kidding.

Besides, Mallory's been known to put a slap of plaster on dog turd if he

there was enough evidence.

I think that's why I just scratched off her right shoe.

Just found some of the victim's clothes. What?

Someone should give you a lot of bullocking.

The cellar where the clothes were found had been officially searched. It's

bloody incompetent. Cut it out, will you, Sergeant?

Gov? Yeah?

Call just came in. Mrs. Eden Marsh, Harper's State.

And? Well, she was questioned on the night the victim went missing and said

didn't see anything then.

But she's sent to see the TV appeal and... Yeah, and?

And says she saw the victim with a man in the playground.

She then describes exactly what Peter James was wearing, the long, dark coat,

long hair.

Did she give the time she last saw the victim?

Yeah, just after one o 'clock.

So it's a set, Father. Bring him in.

Call off the search for Dunn.

No. We find Michael Dunn, we hold him.

On what?

Stolen videos.

Let's talk to Enid Marsh. Dave, you too.

It's the sixth floor, Gav.

Yeah, I know.

She must have bloody good eyesight.

The first time I saw her, it was like she was playing a game. You know,

her eyes and peeping through.

She was laughing.

That was at quarter to one.

Did you see her again, Enid? Oh, yes, at exactly five past one.

He was reaching out, like that.

But I wasn't paying any attention. I was looking for Mrs Ward, waiting for me

dinner.

I went out on the balcony and I was looking down. I got a clear view of the

playground.

I'm arresting you in connection with the theft of videotapes.

Galileo!

Galileo! Galileo!

Galileo! Come on! Come on!

Come on!

Beelzebub! I'm just a poor boy from a poor... Hey, mate, I've got my blood

in!

Get him sober.

Get a bloody doctor down here quick.

Yes, sir.

See what he was wearing?

Long dark coat, long hat.

Yeah, I guess that puts Peter James in a clearer.

I suggest you two go home.

I'm going to do the same, get some sleep.

First thing in the morning, we'll check those videos out.

I want to hold on to him as long as possible.

The moment we're done, I'm going to have to question him, let alone charge him

with murder.

Aladdin, The Lion King, My Little Pony, Snow White.

Yeah, these are mine.

Uncharged Player, Terminator, Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Hook.

They're all yours?

Yeah.

Morning, sir.

You covered up yet? We modelled him through the night. He slept eight hours.

you need the doctor again?

No, sir. I suggested I let him sleep it off.

Yeah.

OK.

Call me when he wakes up.

And let him sleep.

The longer the better.

Oh, come on, you cocked up, you know that.

Enid Marsh, house to house, ring any bells?

She's our identifying witness.

Hello, I'm sorry, sir.

Oh, and you were in the church at the cellar as well. Not only did you miss

clothes, but the shoe by the pipe.

If you'd been more diligent, they might have got to her sooner. You do know

that. Well, I wasn't the only one there. Oh, don't answer me back. I'm telling

you, you screwed up.

That wee girl was alive in that sewage pipe for almost two hours.

Is it Michael Dunn, sir? Barrage, you two. Your detailed house -to -house

inquiries. I want you to check every washing line on that estate, yeah? Yes,

sir. One more, please.

Not the only one there.

Michael Dunn's still out of it.

Gives me more time to get something on him.

Can we charge him for stealing those videos?

Afraid not. They're all ex -rentals. The collection's been wiped out.

Terminator's got some blip on it as well.

Dunn bought them?

No, apparently, when they were desperate, he did the paper and bought

took the videos instead of cash.

You do know how we got those videos, don't you?

Checking Dunn's place out for, um... Damage. We know. Get to the point.

Well, there are a number of kids' toys there as well.

One of them is a doll.

A doll.

Anyone follow it up with the family?

Check if it was the victim. We didn't have a search warrant. Hey, wait a

What the hell's going on here, guys? We've got Michael Dunn downstairs in

cell. And unless I get more, I've got Bunker all right.

Why don't we put Dunn in a line -up?

See if he and the boss can pick him out.

Yeah, I'm working on it. Where the hell am I going to get Michael Dunn to look

like on a Sunday? Shit!

He's going to walk right out of here.

Dave. Get back to that newsagent's part. I want a search warrant for Michael

Dunn. It's Sunday.

Then let's deliver the local magistrate's Sunday bloody telegraph.

Detective Superintendent Walker.

Is it D .C. Cranham? D .I. North, you know.

Okay, let's open up and watch our feet, yeah?

Reg, as exhibits officer, your job is to collect exhibits, not make them. That

goes for all of us. Yeah, maybe we should report a photographer.

No, we're not treating it as a crime scene yet. Excuse me, sir.

The attendant from number four said that most of the residents on this estate

use a local laundrette, but, um, where's the new housing estate across the road

with gardens?

Would they be more likely to use poplar washing lines?

Report alien barrage.

Get Sergeant Satchel to allocate some of my light to move over there. Yes, sir.

Pop it up, Constable. This is Zulu Mike from 333.

No lights, gov. The electric has been cut off.

The toys and the doll are through here, sir.

Check the kitchen room.

Oh, my kid's got one like that.

It's not actually a Barbie.

Cheap high street ripoff.

Things only cost about a quid.

Barbies cost, oh, goodness, what? £12 .99.

That's before you've even bought the wardrobe.

Thank you, sausages in the fridge, but no washing light.

OK, Lodge.

Bag the door, seal it, sign it, log it, check it for prints.

Hello, Quentin.

Forensics said her stomach contents had ice cream and nuts. I'll tell him right

now. Yeah, that's right, sir.

Michael, don't wait, sir.

He's asked for something to eat, but they can string it out.

Okay. I want these wrappers listed and bagged.

I'm going to take the doll to the victim's family.

You have a problem with that?

No, sir.

Let's do it.

I mean, I've got to be right within five or ten minutes.

My busy time.

Lunchtime. Kids coming in from school, you know.

And Pete, Peter James, came in twice.

Once to ask about a plumber. Then about 15 or 20 minutes later, he came back.

Could Michael Dunn come in this shop on Thursday at all?

No. Well, to be honest, a barding.

I thought he did the odd paper round for you.

Yeah, but not for a long time.

Couldn't be trusted.

Last time I found half the bloody paper stuffed into litter bins.

Is it in?

Did he do it?

And, uh, you paid done with ice creams and crisps, yeah?

And the videos.

Cornetto.

Snickers ice cream.

Right. No,

we're outside of half house. Galaxy dough.

Twister.

What?

Right,

okay.

Mrs.

Harris says she will see us now, but the boyfriend's there.

When? Michael Dunn's going to be released in 15 minutes.

Yeah, look, got to go. Check with the lab, see if they've got any results yet.

need those things.

Okay, later.

Let's go.

She had orange juice, cereal.

She never had much at breakfast.

Do you know if she had any nuts or ice cream?

Anything like that?

No.

Betty Paris.

Have you seen this doll before?

Yes. Is that a doll?

It is, mate. You're in it.

You should always have it with her.

That's Julie's doll.

Michael Dunn, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Julianne

You do not have to say anything, but your defence may be harmed if you do not

mention when questioned something you later rely on in court.

I never heard of her.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

I've been here all night.

They come over from the estate.

I mean, I've had plants taken and a white urn from round the front.

We've got neighbourhood watch, but that's not helped.

Where's your washing line, Miss Taylor?

My washing line?

I've got a bloodstain.

It's the third.

Are you going to dinner or just drinks first? Just drinks. I'm not one of the

inner circle.

Talk about selection for your hen party.

What are we getting for her, by the way?

I think it's a toast rack.

Does he want a lawyer?

No, neither breakfast.

Now, press officer being inundated with calls, they know we're holding someone.

You want me to put out the usual blurb, helping police with inquiries?

Yeah, when's it ready?

As much as we can get from records.

Three charges of vagrancy, unemployed on housing benefit, his phone cut off,

single, no family.

Still waiting on social services, but they've got all patient confidentiality

their circle of weeks.

Yeah. get hold of our family liaison officer, make what's it get hard to take

around for us, yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, I wait and reply, Dr. Mallory.

We still could get lucky with one of the lolly sticks. I mean, if she was in

Don's flat, she'd be always pretty glad.

She and I could shovel more of the sticks.

Yeah, I know.

My kids virtually lick the labels off.

This is going to cost a fortune.

I've got ten labels, six sticks, and half my budget's gone already with that

lunatic and his bloody shoe casts.

So, where do we stand?

Well, legally, we brought Dunning yesterday for theft.

I've re -arrested at 10 .05, so we've still got a full 24 hours.

I mean, is he sober?

He's had ten hours keeping him to breakfast.

Gauge. Account.

Closure.

Evaluation. Evaluation.

Let's go.

Please sit down, Mr. Dunn.

We'll just get the tapes up and running fast, shall we?

Okay, this interview has been recorded and may be given in evidence.

My name is Detective Superintendent Mike Walker.

I'm attached to Southampton Street Police Station. The other officer in

attendance is... Detective Sergeant Satchel, Southampton Street.

We are at interview room one, Southampton Street, and I am

your name now, Mr Dunn.

Michael Dunn.

There is no other person present.

The time is 10 .44 a .m., and the date is the 8th of September.

At the end of this interview, I will give you a notice explaining what

happens to those tapes.

Let me remind you that you are still under caution and you are entitled to

and independent legal advice.

I don't want to.

OK. Will you state your name, address and date of birth, please?

Michael... Do you want my middle name as well?

Michael Frederick Dunn.

And I live at number 12, Howard Parade.

East London.

My date of birth...

March...

16th.

1969.

Do you understand why you've been arrested, Michael?

Will you say yes or no?

Yes.

I understand. It's OK. You can ask me anything you want.

Thank you.

Can you tell me where you were last Thursday lunchtime?

I would if I could, but I can't remember Thursday.

Thursday.

Got me gyro.

I collected it myself. It keeps getting nicked.

So you do remember Thursday?

Yeah. Cast my gyro.

Where did you cast it?

Post office by the newsagent.

What newsagent would that be, Michael?

From the estate.

You got nasty with me.

He had reason.

Why was that?

I stuffed all the papers in the bin.

Especially on Thursdays.

What did you do last Thursday?

Cost me joy at all.

Went around the off -license.

Which off -license is that, Michael?

The one by the parade on the far side near where I live.

What do you do there?

Drink with me pals.

Had to been there on Thursday.

Can you name any of these pals?

Er, yeah.

Er, Mitch...

Terry Smith.

And some other bloke, I think.

What time did you meet up with these mates, Michael?

When?

Thursday, after you cast your gyro.

After the off -license opened.

What time did the off -license open?

After 11 o 'clock.

Tell me what you do before you go to the off -license.

I got up, waited for the off -license to open.

Did you stay with your pals all afternoon last Thursday?

Yeah.

Unless we got moved on and all the kids started hassling us.

Kids?

Yeah.

From the estate?

Any specific kids?

How old?

Some eight, some about 16, I don't know.

Do you like kids?

Yeah.

Not when they miss me about.

What do you mean by that?

Nick things.

Break into my flat.

Kids going to your flat?

Yeah. Girls as well as boys?

Yeah.

They're worse than the lads.

Or the little ones aren't, surely?

No, they're okay.

Do you like little girls?

You played peekaboo with him.

Oh, hide your face behind your fingers.

Is that what you were doing last Thursday afternoon, Michael, in the

on the East Side?

No.

It was with my mates.

I've got kids' toys in your flat, Michael. For the kids?

Some of them are theirs.

Which story specifically belonged to the children?

I can't remember what I got and what I haven't got.

Were the kids playing at your flat last Thursday?

No, I wasn't there.

Yeah. You were with your pals, right?

In the park?

Yeah.

They can vouch for me. What do you mean, vouch for you? Well, you wanted to know

where I was last Thursday. They'll tell you.

What do you do in other days?

You mean when I haven't got any money?

Yeah. Sit in the flat, watch videos.

Well, I did.

My video recorder got nicked. How long ago?

I don't know, a month.

Do you like watching videos?

Yeah.

I like cartoons.

What about videos like Terminator? Great.

Child's play. Yeah, that's brilliant.

How do these videos make you feel?

Sometimes they make me angry.

What do you do about it? Drink in front of the kids. Are you watching videos

with the kids? Yeah, sometimes I do.

Were you watching videos last Thursday? No, you're not listening to me. I

haven't got a video recorder.

When you used to watch videos, Michael, did you watch them with a little girl

called Julie Harris?

Do you know who she is?

What about her brother, Jason?

I shown the interviewee exhibit number RC3.

Recognise this doll, Michael?

Yeah.

It's a doll.

I know that.

This particular doll, Michael, we got it from your flat.

God, now I'm missing.

Michael, I'm investigating the murder of Julianne Harris. If you fail or refuse

to account for the stalls having been found in your flat, a proper inference

be drawn in court.

I found it.

Yeah, you found this doll, Michael. Yeah, by the derelict factory.

I want to go to the toilet. When did you find this doll?

Thursday. I found it Thursday.

When did you find the doll on Thursday, Michael? It's very important that we

know.

Come on, silence.

End of view terminated. 11 .15 to allow Michael Dunn to use the toilet.

Mallory called, said the tests on Julianne's stomach contacts would take

longer than he anticipated.

Ditto Dunn's clothes.

Get down, you bloody solicitor.

And in the meantime, check her, the so -called alibi.

What do you reckon, chap?

Is he in?

Yeah. We just don't have enough to charge him.

Look at this, look.

A lot of whitewashing lines.

I've got red ones.

I've got yellow ones.

I tell you, they weren't kidding when they said blue and red striped ones

weren't very popular.

Here is this one from Eager Beaver PC Barrage.

He, um... Uh... Oh, yeah. New housing estate.

There have been lots of thefts from gardens, including washing pegs, lines,

pots, blah, blah, blah.

Um, lots of break -ins. Council agreed to raise their fence.

Almighty's written a bloody dissertation.

Here it is.

Corner house, number 17, Ashcroft close, washing line stolen and post

underlined. It was recently painted.

We've got a Belinda Sinclair down in reception.

Sinclair?

Duty solicitor for Michael Dunn.

So, custody sergeant tells me she's only been on the scheme a few months.

Correction.

Three weeks.

Fresh? As a daisy.

And the 12 videotapes turned out to be his own property, correct?

Yes. You then arrested Mr Dunn in connection with the murder of Julianne

Yes.

But you have no other evidence apart from a statement from a Mrs Enid Marsh.

Who identified Michael Dunn as the man last seen talking with Julianne Harris.

Mrs Harris also identified a doll found in Dunn's flat as belonging to her

daughter. But you've not placed my client in an identification parade.

You haven't seen him yet.

Detective Superintendent Walker, I suggest you get a parade arranged.

If you have a witness, it would seem to me to be the next logical step.

I flew in last night.

That gave me compassion to leave.

You all right?

I swear.

She was only out playing ten minutes.

Jason was with her.

I just don't know what to say.

She was my baby.

We got that pervert.

The one off the estate.

Yeah.

I wouldn't mind ten minutes with him.

Jason!

Dad!

Dad! Jason!

Boy.

Maybe you should leave him alone. You shh! Shut up. Keep your nose out.

Don't talk to Mum like that.

This is your flat now, is it?

Yeah.

You're paying the bills, aren't you? And Julie was my daughter!

You must try to concentrate, Michael. This is very serious.

You've given two different accounts of how you got that doll.

And an inference can be drawn from that in court.

I want to go home.

I want a drink.

Look, you do realise that I'm your solicitor.

I'm not a police officer.

What am I doing here?

You ready yet, Mum? I will inform you when I am.

Would you please sit down?

We need to talk about this doll.

No.

No.

Ian and Marge have arrived at the ID suite.

Okay.

I'll see if missing Claire is finished with our Mr. Dunn.

Barrett. Yes, ma 'am?

When you... sending your report, there really is no need to make assumptions or

suggestions over every detail.

I mean, it took me long enough to get to the paint on the post.

What do you mean?

Well, it is sort of our job to ascertain what we think should or shouldn't be

tested by the lab. We don't actually need your italics. You know, suggest

should be examined forensically or this should be given priority.

I'm sorry, Mum.

preferences to where you want to fit.

Number three. Number three.

Okay, Danny, mate, can you move to the end?

Stay in your chair, Mrs Marsh, if you want to.

Oh, no, no, I can stand.

I don't have a wheelchair of my own.

It's arthritis.

Do you want me to pick him out now?

Right, now.

On September the 5th, at about 1pm, you saw a man take a little girl by the hand

in the playground beneath your window.

Now, that man may or may not be on this identification parade today, but I would

ask you not to make any decision as to whether you can identify him until you

have looked twice at each member of the parade.

Do you understand?

Could they stand up?

Dave, can you get them to stand up?

Could everybody stand?

Number three.

She picked him out.

Yep, thanks.

I've got a murderer on my hands.

Well, an alleged murderer.

Michael Frederick Dunn. Hey.

He picked me out.

No, I don't think so. Come on. Come on.

Bastard!

Thanks.

Barry?

Yes, sir?

Mine was ham and cheese. This is pickle and cheese.

I'm sorry about it.

I'm sorry about it.

Hey, no big deal.

Just can't extend pickle, okay?

You all right, son?

I know you found her.

Still living with you, is it?

No, I'm all right, sir.

Hey, you want to talk about it, you go into occupational health. That's what

here for.

I've been there, son.

Don't bottle it up.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

Reg. What's up?

Pick up those bottles from Dunn. Take them over to Marling. He's okay?

Absolutely. And, uh... Take Barry with you.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

Suspect's alibi, Mrs. Midge Parker -Brown, is pissed.

Yeah, I know.

But she was in the casualty department of St. John's Thursday, 10 .30 till 6.

She's never heard of Terry Smith or Michael Dunham.

Well, I helped, but it's not enough. But we've got to attend tomorrow morning.

Keep going.

Julianne had this with her when she left home last Thursday and was subsequently

found dead.

Why was this doll found in your flat, Michael?

It was nice when I moved in. I had it looking quite nice, but... My friends,

Ricky and the kids... You haven't answered the question, Michael.

I found it.

When did you find it?

About a year ago. Where did you find it?

Would you answer the question, please?

Up by the building site.

You sure about that, Mr Dunne?

Yeah.

Do you like ice cream?

No. But you have a pile of ice cream wrappers in your flat. Where the hell do

they come from, Michael? People in and out of my flat all the time. Ice cream

van, ding dong, ding dong.

Did you see Julianne last Thursday afternoon? No.

I was with my mates.

Yes, I have your statement, Michael Singh. You were with Terry Smith, a man

were unable to identify, and a woman called Midge, right?

Yeah.

Then let me tell you something. Midge Parker Brown was not with you last

Thursday. So what the hell have you got to say about that?

Must have been mistaken.

Let me take you back, Michael. What exactly is it you're mistaken about?

What? What was the question?

I'm suggesting a bathroom break.

If my client does not require one, I most certainly do.

It's after seven.

Interview suspended at 7pm.

Well, I'm missing Claire to take a leak.

She's been saying something about passive smoking.

Is that the right thing?

Yeah, but she's in the wrong profession, isn't she?

Imagine the stink they would make if they made it illegal for clients to

during interviews.

Anyway, that room is fumigated after Michael Dunn.

I'm doing the government a favor, giving them some money.

All right to continue, is it, Miss Sinclair?

Yes, Superintendent Walker.

But the time is now. I know what the time is, Miss Sinclair.

Garth, hold it back a minute.

Labs have just found a length of blue and red washing line in Michael Tom's

One end cut, the other has a loop.

Michael Dunn, I'm charging you with the murder of Julianne Harris.

In view of the seriousness of the offence, and to ensure your own

the application for bail is denied.

I therefore remand you, Michael Frederick Dunn, in custody to appear

court again in seven days.

Take him down.

He's just hit Tommy again.

Come here.

Come on, darling.

Oh, baby.

Do you want an ice cream? Do you want an ice cream?

I've told you not to play around with him.

He's just a baby.

All right?

Do you want to read?

Can I give Tony a bit of this?

Yeah.

Wait, Mum, I'll do that.

Missed one.

One

more.

Good.

Right.

Let's start with your parents' name and address.

I don't have any.

Where were you brought up?

Foster homes.

I don't think I can remember them all.

Don't want to talk about it.

Don't remember a lot of things.

They said it was me blanking it all out.

Blanking what out, Michael?

That's Mr Dunn's transportation.

Can't wait any longer.

Murray, how many times have you been told not to mess around with Tony?

Are you hearing me?

You're not my dad and you're not Julie's dad either.

Oh, I know.

Because I'd never produce a snotty little bastard like you.

Now, look at this.

Would you do this?

Jason, stand up! No, I bloody won't!

You try and get away from me.

Come out!

Stop it!

It's the same type of rope come washing line as was tied around the little

lady's neck.

But it's not the rope.

What?

I think you'd better come in and see me.

It's not the rope.

We'd better get down there.

Thorsman, the batter on the news.

Maybe on the later one.

Right.

You sit there and wait for her to come on.

The whole place needs to tidy up. You just sit there. Stop it. Just stop it.

And there's no reason for your mum to stay here either, sick and tired of her

shagging up in here.

Calm this, calm that.

You ask me, she fancies him herself.

Glad he's gone back.

Ain't in the arch.

Maybe I need mum, Pete.

You don't need me.

I didn't say that.

Well, it feels like it.

I touch you, you cringe away from me. You sleep as far away from me in bed as

you can.

Don't do nothing. Look at the state you're in. You're just sitting in front

the TV and waiting for the news.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

I appreciate you being here and... I don't know what I'd have done without

But, you know, it's more flat.

Oh, God.

You don't want me here for the funeral.

I don't know when they'll let me bury it.

Oh, you let...

Why you ever broke up with Tommy is beyond me. Oh, for God's sake, Mum.

I'm not mourning you.

I kept my mouth shut. I haven't said a word about it.

Bet what?

Why Jason wasn't at the school that Thursday.

Why you had to take Julie to hospital Christmas.

Mum. You have to go into court. So will Peter.

Here, as I say, it's the same type of rope.

Identical, but the ends don't match.

What else have you got?

Oh, we're working very hard on Don's clothing. So far, we've got nothing for

you. And we've taken almost all the carpet up. In fact, it's hard to find an

area without stains. We've 300 of them.

Semen, blood, soup, alcohol.

Alcohol. More alcohol.

Chocolate, tea, coffee.

Oh, do you want a coffee, by the way?

No.

Cigarette burns, tomorrow's sauce, ice cream, more soup.

Yeah, what about the bottles I sent in? Now, Foster said she may have been

penetrated by something. Yeah, today we've got numerous prints on them, but

nothing to link them with the victim.

Now, Jimmy!

Jimmy, could we have the shoe cut?

He has told you the rope brought in is not.

Yeah, we know.

Right, this was taken off the suspect, right? Yes, yes, it was.

Well, good selection of soil samples, brick dust, soil, cement, plus the

near where the victim was found also contained a high percentage of clay.

So any footwear with all four samples matching, like this one, means that he

by the sewer pipes.

Just no sheet print.

Thanks a lot.

You're lucky there again, Walker.

Remember the rope -cum -washing line?

Yeah, cut the jokes.

Yeah, well, the section around the little girl's throat, it came from a

Miss Anne Taylor's garden, or to be precise, the post from which she hangs

washing line.

When exactly was it stolen?

One night after the post was painted, about two weeks ago.

Well, there wasn't anything on it, otherwise they'd have stolen that as

Biscuit.

No, thank you.

Do you know Michael Dunn?

I know who he is, yes.

It was in the papers that he'd been arrested.

He used to knock on doors to do odd jobs.

When did you last see him?

A long time ago.

More than nine months.

He...

He looked terrible.

Unwashed. You know, filthy dirty.

I didn't open my door. Told him to go away.

And?

He just walked off.

Thank you for your time, Miss Taylor.

It's a lovely house you have here, Anne.

Do you live here alone?

Yes, since Mummy died.

I'll show you out.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help. Thank you.

A bit abrupt if you don't want me saying so, sir.

In case you've forgotten, Detective Inspector North, we do have a meeting

CPS tomorrow morning and I know exactly what they're going to say.

We don't have a case.

You've got the shakes?

DTs, right?

Well, I can give you a couple of aspirin, but cold turkey is hard.

Bend your head.

Lift your head and open your mouth.

Stand up and bend over.
