Thank you.

It's not like you were planning to go away with them, so... I don't really

understand what the problem is, David. I'm giving you three months' notice.

That's not the point. It's my weekend with them. Listen, the cottage was only

available that week. So tough.

It's not exactly as if the kids are going to feel deprived.

You spend half your lives on holiday. That is rubbish.

How the hell you and him even still have jobs, I don't know.

Do you know what, David?

Sometimes I really loathe you.

Piss off, David.

Mum? Jamie, sweetheart, I'm really sorry. I thought... I don't believe you

still want each other, are you?

We don't.

Only two years now.

Do you want something, sweetheart?

Yeah. I was just a bit worried. Liv's not home yet.

What do you mean, not home?

So she's not at the club?

I thought she might be at the chess club.

I got in about ten minutes ago and just assumed that she was here.

I grabbed something to eat and put that thing in her room, but the lights were

off.

Well, obviously she's not been home.

Yeah, I'll try a bit. Just go straight to the voicemail.

I'll keep trying on her mobile and I'll call you if she walks in.

Okay.

Hello?

Hi, Ben.

She's not back.

I'm sorry. I only just walked in. Oh, my God. Jeff told me. It's okay. It'll be

fine. It's not fine, Ben. Where is she? What time is she due home? Seven. Did

she leave recently on time? Nearly an hour and a half. You called her mobile?

No answer.

Where are the others? Could she be with them? Jeff is at study group. Rob's got

piano.

Sweetheart, she'll be fine. Her mobile will just have run out of juice or

something. Where do you guys hang out in town? The memorial?

The memorial... Let's quickly drive into town right now, have a scout around.

It's not even that late.

She's 13, Ben. My daughter is 13 years old and nearly an hour and a half late.

We need to call the police.

Sorry. Right. Whatever feels right.

So, Mrs Mullery, Lorraine should have been home at 7pm.

And she's never done anything like this before. Never.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

Probably just hanging out with her mates and lost track of time.

OK.

Can you give me a description of what she was wearing?

She says she told Rob this morning to tell me that she was hopping to

after recess.

What did Rob say?

Because she didn't.

It's worth remembering in a situation like this that my son's an inveterate

liar.

Well, the good thing is they're now both in tears saying they hate each other.

Fine. They'll have forgotten about it in the morning.

I don't think so.

Ro, if they were brother and sister, we wouldn't bat an eyelid.

We'd be threatening them with an adoption or something, you know, normal

lifestyle. Seriously, though, we knew it wasn't going to be without

difficulties, didn't we? I mean, what are we? We're two months in?

Seven weeks and three days.

Seven weeks and three days.

We're doing fine.

Bollocks. The footy's started.

Do you mind if I watch it? No.

Rob! Jamie!

Footy! Coming!

You want to watch footy?

Yeah, right. How are you getting on?

Have I known your theorem?

Yes. Hey, thanks for putting a wash on.

Not me.

I'm off.

You're early.

Yeah, insane day.

What time are you back? Late. We've got our jab. Oh, God, Jeff. What time have

we got ours?

Tomorrow, Dad. I told you, like, five million times.

Actually, if you get a chance, can you pick up some of those modding things,

ones we plug in? I'll try, but we'll still stop taking so things are a bit

manic. My lovely, gorgeous boy.

Right, yeah, thanks for that, Liv.

Have a great day.

Kev says that the traffic on the Heathrow is mental. Right, come on,

let's move it.

Mum. Why do you listen to this crap?

Because it annoys you.

Tragic.

Wow.

What is it?

That's a search, isn't it?

Excuse me. What's going on? If you could just keep moving, please, madam.

Are they looking for someone? Please.

Do not forget, Jamie.

Pray he is, OK?

Yeah, yeah.

Bye, guys.

Bye. Bye, darling.

Have a good day.

Hey, Liv, I've heard what's happened.

Lorraine Mullery has gone missing.

She never even came home last night. They reckon something really bad's

to her. What?

Do either of them know that? Not really, no. She was in the year in between

them.

I've met the mum a few times at the PTA.

Oh, poor woman.

Anyway, I'm going to skip the job tonight. It's still a week before we

Sorry, why?

The kids are really upset, Ben. I think they're pretty scared apart from

anything. Okay.

It would be great if you could get back early, too.

Um, I'll do my best.

Thanks, sweetheart.

I love you.

Speak to you later.

I love you, too.

to the lad or something. Maybe she had a row with a mate and then buggered off

up to London for the day.

Yeah, maybe she did.

Can we come in, please?

It was just after 4pm today

that police were able to confirm the body of a young female was found in

reed beds.

quarter of a mile to her home.

Lorraine had been expected home after visiting friends at 7pm. She was

missing shortly after 9pm.

At daybreak this morning, local residents joined police in an extensive

of the low -lying marshland and reed beds.

Yesterday, Eastleigh was slowly gearing up for next summer. Today, it's become

the centre of a brutal murder inquiry.

But even within that short space of time, the small community in which she

has been rocked by the fear of what might be living within their midst.

Tonight it seems their very worst fears have come true.

Anna Daniels, Agnew News, Eastleigh.

But I do know that something like this is very, very rare.

The chance of it happening again... But it could be someone we already know.

Someone we walk past every day and tell.

You'll be OK, Liv.

Me and Mum won't let anything happen to you, will we?

No.

No, of course we won't.

Now, I'm going to leave the door open in case you get scared, OK? If you can't

sleep, you come into our...

that you didn't really know her?

Maybe just to say hello to.

I hung out with friends of friends.

I liked her.

She was a bit odd.

A bit of a loner.

There was something about her.

Her poor parents.

No, I am.

Jamie.

I love you, darling.

I love you too.

Ben?

I've told Lily she can come in with us if she gets to go. Is that okay?

Is Jess okay?

It's fine.

You did check on her, didn't you?

Rosie.

It's fine, I'll go.

She's fine. She's revising. Please don't disturb her.

I know what she's like. I just don't want the sort of girl to get overly

spooked.

I'm sorry.

I know you mean well, but... I'm not their mum.

I wasn't going to say that.

I just think, you know, I know my kids.

You know your kids.

It's played to our strengths.

Everything feels really odd.

Let's pray they catch this bastard quickly.

Who's that?

Dad?

Mom, it's ten past.

We're going to be late.

Have you been in my room again?

What are you talking about?

Are

you okay?

How many times, man? I didn't

take them. What's the matter? Nothing.

I'm going to walk.

No, I don't want you walking. We're all daylight.

I think I'll survive. Hey, can you come back here, please?

There are no obvious indications of a sexual assault.

No semen?

No.

And the knife wound?

A single blow, just under two centimetres wide at its entry,

ten centimetres and severed the abdominal aorta.

Sorry, my son's off sick. He's got this bug that's going around. Do you mind if

I take this? No, my little girl's got it too.

Don't worry about that.

No worries.

So... Time of death.

Planned belief to be a local resident was tonight said to be helping Cleve

their inquiry.

But with no further details given, speculation remains rife amongst this

community. Bastard.

It's just been questioned.

They don't pull these guys in unless they've got good cause.

Do you want to talk?

That's why I'm here, Dad, because I don't.

No problem.

What time did you get on Monday night?

Quite late. Nearly nine, I think.

I had to drop a keel off at Penford. Why?

Came round, waited till about eight.

You should have rung me.

I could have dropped it off today.

No, that's no problem.

Just chilled.

Are you sure you're OK?

Yeah, absolutely.

Liv? Mm?

Did you put a wash in on Monday?

What? Did you come home before going to Ethan's and put a wash on?

Well, don't start nagging, Mum. Please, not today.

I'm not nagging, darling. I'm just asking.

No, I didn't.

Sorry. It's fine.

It's not important.

I love you.

Look, it's horrible what's happened.

It'd be kind of weird if you weren't upset.

See you Saturday.

Yeah.

Give my love to... Miss you.

17, this is a good market.

Yeah, I know, but we've always run into problems on the last time.

Cut yourself some slack, you're doing really well.

Robert, please don't just leave without clearing the place.

It's alright, I've got it. Do you see what you have to do? I've got home now.

Come back here, Rob, now!

Do as she says, Robert.

You OK?

I'll talk to him.

Please. He was really difficult this morning as well.

How's your dad?

Good.

He said you'd run wanting to go round. Is there any particular reason?

Just wanted a bit of peace and quiet.

It's a place to have my head in sometimes.

So did you find your trainers?

No.

Are you absolutely sure they were stolen, Jamie?

Because if you've just lost them or something, I won't be cross. I'll be

cross if I find out you've been lying.

Well, I think they were nicked, you know.

I'm pretty sure I put them in the locker, but I don't know. Someone might

borrowed them. Someone?

I don't know.

What, someone here, you mean, or someone at school?

Mum, I've got three FAs today.

Jamie... Either or neither.

Mum, I'm sorry, but I've got a pile of homework to do.

Alibi checks out. He was in London since Friday visiting his sister. Didn't get

back till this morning.

Oh, hi, Miss Gale.

Hi, it's Rosie Hilton here.

Hi. No, I just wanted to quit work as we've been having a few problems with

Robert's punctuality recently.

What time did he get to you for his piano yesterday?

Six, bang on.

No, no, that's great.

No, that's it.

Lovely. Thanks very much.

Bye.

Where are these papers?

Come on, kids, let's move it.

Sorry you're feeling ropey. No, listen, it's probably just a 24 -hour thing.

I'll be fine after a sleep. And I've rung Maria. She's going to pick them all

up. Are you sure it's just the both? Yeah, of course. What else?

I'll bring you home some chicken soup.

I won't.

All right.

Hey, I am so, so sorry.

If there's anything I can do, will you...

hunting the killer of Lorraine Mullery have issued a warning to parents and

children to not walk home alone while Lorraine's killer remains at large.

Hey, big man. I'm D .P. Blackman.

It should only take a few minutes.

Hi.

How was school?

Police everywhere.

All had to answer the question.

Horrible. Pretty much everyone was in two.

Did you get any sense of whether they have any leads? Not really, no, but

Oram reckoned Miss Skinner fancied her and... Sally Oram's a moron. I didn't

I did, I just said... I don't think they know anything, no.

How are you?

Better.

OK, sweetheart, do you want to get your case down from the loft so you can start

packing? Yeah, sure.

Liz, homework!

We just needed to check, Mr Whistler, that Gary was with you when he said he

was.

OK, yeah, that's great.

That's all I need. Thanks a lot.

Bye now.

Hello, my name's... This is Robert. Please sleep.

I just went into one of those hyper -efficient modes and went through almost

entire list.

I've arranged the parking at the airport. We arranged the jobs for

night, so I think we're all sorted.

I'm really looking forward to it.

You know, we so need a holiday.

I'm not losing it, you creep. What's going on?

He was watching me in the shower. That's what's going on.

I saw someone do that, cracking the door. You're hallucinating.

You said you saw someone? And when I opened the door, I saw him going into

room. In your dreams.

Hey, Jamie, you can cut that out right now. Ben, can I deal with this, please?

Please do.

Please? I can't believe you're even asking me that. Perhaps you thought you

someone, Jane. What, are you saying I'm lying? No, I'm just saying that

everybody is understandably very... Well, I know what I saw. It happened the

other day as well. So you just assume it's me?

Well, who else is it going to be? I don't know. What about Rob?

Oh, mate, they think she's my sister and I see some of the shit on your

computer. Oh, you're a dick, Amy. Hey, hey. Mate, don't even think about trying

to accuse me of something.

Robert, go to your bedroom, please. You too, Jess. What?

Just do it.

And you will be pleased, Beth.

Jamie? Oh, bollocks to this. I'm going to my dad's. No, you're not going

anywhere. Oh, yeah?

He's going to stop me.

You're staying right here, Jamie.

Out my fucking way.

I didn't say she wasn't. I said, and I told you right now, she doesn't want to

speak to you.

Well,

do you know what? We're pretty upset. In fact, we're very upset, by the way. I

don't give a rat's ass about you. I care about my son, who's clearly struggling

in the face of some fairly appalling parenting.

Oh, for God's sake, David, it's not a pissing competition.

I don't need your advice, mate. Just get her to ring me tonight.

I will talk to them, just not now.

What is it, Ro?

We can sort out tonight.

Is there something else?

Why does that mean something else?

Because I feel like...

You're withdrawing from me. No, I'm not. I'm not.

For the last few days, I know they've been difficult, but really, even so...

What?

OK, it's like... It's like the night you just assumed that your daughter was

telling the truth.

But... Well...

Because she's your daughter. And you assume that she wasn't because he's your

son. Exactly.

In fact, I'm not just... I'm not saying either this is right or wrong. I'm just

saying... When I found you, I... Because of

one problem. But it's not, is it?

It isn't just one problem.

It's things like the flowers.

What flowers?

The flowers you still buy for Jenny's grave.

You leave them for transport.

Oh, Rose.

Sorry.

The flowers, it's tonight, it's Monday night when Liv went missing.

What did I do wrong then? You didn't do anything wrong, Ben. You were just you,

a concerned adult who's probably quite fond of her, who might actually even

her, but I could tell you didn't feel it in here, Ben, She isn't your baby.

And Jamie isn't your baby. And that's fine as long as there are no problems or

crises to deal with. But families do have problems. They do find themselves

extraordinary situations. And I just can't see how we're going to deal with

together.

Lorraine was a beautiful, happy, unique young

woman.

And we loved her with all of our hearts.

And her death has left a hole in our lives that can never be filled.

So to anyone who thinks that they might have any information, anything at all,

as a mother, I beg you to come forward so that

I can get justice for my child.

Sorry, now I'm confused.

What are you saying exactly?

You know what I'm saying. Well, he's got a little bit of blood on his train. Is

that going to be from a nosebleed? Because he tried to suggest that Robert

have taken him.

Because someone washed all of his uniform on Monday evening. Because I saw

look in his eye yesterday that I've never seen before.

I'm so scared.

Hey, come on. It's all right. Come on.

He said it wasn't yours until gone eight. Yeah, it was.

What, you were there?

No, I wasn't.

The washing was already finished when I got back at 8 .30. It's a 90 -degree

cycle, which means it takes maybe two hours. I've asked everyone else.

No one else put it on.

I saw you made a mistake. You didn't get back to yours till 6 .30. What does it

matter?

There's going to be an explanation for it. It's not going to be he killed some

girl and he's covering his tracks. This is our son you're talking about.

Have you spoken to him?

No. Why?

For Christ's sake, David. He's already vulnerable enough after the divorce. How

do you think that would make him feel?

His own mother asking him if he's important.

What about Ben? Have you spoken to Ben?

No.

So what do you want to do?

I feel like I've been so wrapped up in my own life that I've let things slide.

I've let him get away from me.

I want your help.

I want you to watch him.

After school, where he goes, what he does.

So we can find out at least who we think he is.

Who we hope he is.

If it's what you want, if it's what you really want, if you think it's going to

put your mind at rest, I'll help you. But I'm telling you, I don't believe it.

I don't believe it for a second.

Just one joke!

So, how can I help?

I've forgotten my password. I wondered if you could get me back in.

It'll be ten minutes. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think I'd be glad.

Soon as possible.

Coffee right there.

Good

evening.

Your message said you had something.

Yeah.

Bit of a result, actually.

History of violence for this school, apparently.

Last year he was done for indecent assault on a 15 -year -old girl.

Charges had dropped eventually, but the kid's obviously a nasty piece of work.

And our son is his friend.

Trevor knows what he's done for him.

What things he might have hidden for him, what lies he'd tell for him.

What are we going to do, David?

What are we going to do?

Jamie? No!

Wow, things are obviously worse than I thought they were.

Sean Christie, I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Lorraine

You had sex with her during her lunch break.

Come back here now!

I think you might need to speak to Robert as well. I cannot believe that

would ever have hurt anybody.

Jamie?
