Original subtitles

Alan, did you get the potato?

Yeah, I did.

OK, wash these potatoes in the sink, please.

OK, Dad.

Granny and Grandad are here.

Alan, Mum and Dad are here. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, you're getting too heavy.

Come on, son. I can take you. Hi,

Dad. Oh, lovely to see you.

He won't drive on the motorway.

How are you?

I'm all right.

And he swerved right through the lot of them going like a bullet, didn't you?

Yeah, and I'd fall right between the posts, Grandad. Well done, my son.

But it's still the wrong game, the wrong shape ball. I hate pussy.

I'm a rugger bugger.

Kenny, shush. But Dad says that.

Well, I'm not sure that I actually use the expression. Yes, you do.

Pass the spinach and stop corrupting our fun.

You're a queener.

You expecting anyone?

It's Margaret.

I invited him.

Alan, you know he can't come. He's your brother.

You shouldn't have done that, Alan.

You had no right.

I thought we said it was all over.

Leave the boy.

Leave him. Leave the boy.

These two first. Out.

Out. Out.

Out. Out.

Out. Out.

Out.

Tell the driver we're on the moon.

We

found him in the

morning. He hadn't moved.

He was dehydrated, suffering from shock and hypothermia.

Who raised the alarm, Sergeant Glover?

His grandmother.

They shot her twice and left her for dead.

She crawled out a mile to the road. It took her 16 hours.

God, that's awful.

How did she survive?

She, uh, thinks the saint disturbed them.

They were using napalm to burn their bodies.

And the boy said that he recognised his uncle's voice.

Do you think it's possible that he could have been mistaken? It was him.

Marcus Roche.

Look.

Took me nearly seven years to nail that lizard.

Now you and your precious miscarriage agency are saying that he's innocent.

We're not saying he's innocent.

He slept with his family.

And I got him.

But he got me back.

What do you mean, Sergeant Glover?

He's got friends.

Look, it doesn't matter.

Just let him rot in jail.

If not for this, for all the other shit that he's pulled.

He says he's a respectable property developer.

He doesn't make all their millions by being respectable.

Marcus Roche is an extortionist. He's a blackmailing, bribe -giving, kneecapping

bastard. I don't think there's any evidence of that. What are you, his

All his contacts everywhere.

Police, press, home office.

Couldn't get him out of this.

So you just let that dog sleep.

Because believe me,

he can do you.

I mean, he can really do you.

Just ask that kid, Kenny.

This is the murdered couple, Alan and Danuta, with her brother, Marcus.

Marcus Roche and Alan Richman were partners in the property development

for 14 years. Alan and Danuta had been married since 1988.

The Benmark development, Dowling House, Waxham Wharf Hotel, Arkwright Court,

Chelsea Mansions, all owned by Marcus or Alan or their companies.

Between them, about 200 million quid's worth.

That's Marcus's house.

Or at least it was until Alan reported him to the Inland Revenue for tax

evasion. And they impounded it.

Two months later, Richmond and his family were dead.

Jesus!

So how did he get all this?

Official or unofficial?

Unofficial, please.

Usually by buying up slum properties in up -and -coming areas and after a while

the residents decide they don't want to live there anymore.

Because? Oh, you know, power cuts, contaminated water, nasty thugs pitting

the stairs with the odd Molotov cocktail in the mail, usually followed by a less

-than -generous offer to vacate.

There have been four serious fires on residential properties owned by Marcus

Rose. Seven Kurdish refugees died in this one in 1998.

It was called a racist attack, but nobody believed that.

Marcus completed a residential flat development on the site two years later.

You see, he's got friends, Wallace. I know.

They keep ringing me.

Very concerned to hear what we propose to do.

What do we propose to do? Find the boy.

Find Kenny Richmond.

Any problem with that?

Marcus's lawyers say Alan's relatives whisked him away to France after the

trial. There's no address for them. Well, that's because they're hiding him.

Well, do you want to hear the funny thing?

Well, how funny is it?

I checked the records office, electoral rolls, everything, and Alan Richmond had

no living relatives.

His son's disappeared off the face of the earth.

It's very good of Mr Roche to visit in.

Come in.

He's going now.

Mr Maloney.

Miss Linden.

Nice to meet you at last.

Rose Linden.

I'm told you're the best investigator in your organisation.

Well, I... I only deal with the best, of course.

Kettle is on. Can I offer you some tea?

Yes, please.

I have.

Earl Grey, chamomile, peppermint?

Unfortunately, no lemons.

Well, peppermint, please.

How can I help?

Mr Roche, you requested this meeting, which we don't regard as strictly

necessary.

We're only at initial stages. Should like to be released by the end of the

month. Oh, I don't think that's going to be possible. How is Sergeant Glover?

Pardon?

Poor old Mike.

Still a sergeant after all these years.

I guess you can do your job too well.

There's no question of being released next month, Mr Roche.

But I'm innocent.

Your brother -in -law, father, sister were all murdered after you'd fallen out

with them over a business deal. That is ridiculous.

As I said at the trial, I asked my parents to look after some money for me.

million pounds in an offshore trust account.

I'm a property developer. Sometimes you need money to be invisible.

Alan was jealous because I hadn't included him in the deal. Dad got

scrupulous, but I wouldn't kill them for that.

Four million isn't so much at the end of the day.

Do you still claim that this family rift was healed and you got your money back

before they were murdered?

Voila. There you are. But that wasn't believed in court, Mr Roche.

We need new evidence or there's nothing we can do.

What are you, some kind of imbecile?

There are many problems, Mr Roche.

Not least that your mother and your nephew both placed you at the scene.

I love my mother, and I think that finally she understands that.

You know she's withdrawn her testimony.

That's the new evidence.

Mother knows now that she was mistaken, and she will say so.

Look.

All I need from you is a referral to the Court of Appeal and my lawyers will

deal with everything else.

How much is an acquittal these days?

100 ,000?

150? Hmm?

What about Kenny?

Your nephew?

Alas, young Kenny's whereabouts are unknown.

Such a pity he won't be able to testify.

Oh, do I amuse you, Mr Maloney?

No.

Do you say peppermint?

He's not getting a referral from me. By the book, OK?

If his mother backs him up, we make the recommendation, get out of his life.

Maloney, he's slaughtered his whole family in total cold blood because he

some money from him. Yeah, maybe.

I can't get the measure of him. He's oddly, um... Likeable.

Yeah.

His wife was killed in a road accident in 1999.

His one son, Max, aged 24, lives in Stoke, Newington.

A rush disinherited him after a family argument.

What about?

I don't know.

I thought you were giving up.

Yeah, I am.

You're wearing a patch.

Yeah, they're rather good, I find, but you do need a bit of topping up.

I'll tell you what.

I'll buy you dinner on Thursday, and you get through it without smoking if you

can. No problem. You buy me dinner, right? Well, it's not just dinner I want

for.

You're supposed to get me drunk before you say that. The fact is, I've got a

sort of, um, well, it is a date, actually.

You want me to come on your date?

You can smoke, OK? I just need someone to... Make you look good in tea up for a

shack? No.

Well, yeah.

I'll find someone for you.

Who is she?

She backed into my trolley on the waitress car park we got talking.

Her name's Julie.

Is she nice?

Yeah, really nice.

I mean, really nice.

Oh. I thought it might be a good idea if there wasn't just the two of us on a

first date. No.

OK, but no drop on my side of the table, so not Phil from personnel, OK?

Oh, Phil, it's nice.

It's impotent.

No, that's just a rumour. Not to me, it isn't.

And is very anxious to see you.

She's a lovely old lady.

And brave.

Here we are.

Hello.

Thank you, is there?

Mrs Roche, I'm Mr Muller from the CJRA.

This is Rose Linden.

Hello. Thank you for coming.

I'm Anna's personal advisor.

I take care of any issues which might arise.

Issues?

Please, sit down.

You wanted to ask me about Marcus.

About why I said he was there when... When my family...

Family? It's okay, Anna.

They won't stay long.

Just tell them what you want to see.

Anna, at the trial, you said that you saw your son Marcus Roche that night.

I only said that because of Kenny.

I wanted to back him up.

And now that's changed.

I thought...

I was wrong.

There had been a family disagreement, though, is that right?

I don't think that's relevant to this discussion.

Anna's simply saying that she was mistaken.

You had fallen out with your son over money.

I never understood all that.

Marcus wanted Ben to look after some money.

Alan said it was illegal. We could go to jail.

Now you're trying to sue my father. All I said was that I'm... Now you're trying

to sue my father again. Now you have the money until I know it's legal.

Huh? Or straight.

Don't talk to me about straight men. But you can't take this much hypocrisy.

They were terrible.

Grown men fighting like that.

Shut up. You.

Hypocrisy. Why is Uncle Mark shouting at Daddy and Grandpa?

Be quiet.

Quiet. Christ, shut up. I said shut up all of you.

It's Kenny's birthday.

Christ, mate.

Sorry, Mum.

Ken only wanted to teach Marcus a lesson.

What lesson?

That he couldn't just trample all over people.

But it's all been sorted out. It's been explained to me now.

Mrs Roche, who do you think did this?

Never have I armed a neuter.

He loved his neuter. What about you?

Does he love you?

He's taking care of me now.

When your children are adopted, it can be complicated.

I'm sorry.

You said adopted?

Yeah. I couldn't have children.

It took him five years to get Marcus.

Another three to get the neuter.

We thought we'd never be unhappy again.

I think you should go now.

Miss Roche, do you know where Kenny, where your grandson is?

A lot of people would like to speak to him.

I don't know.

Alan's family took him.

We lost him.

You see, our employees... That must have been terrible for you.

Mrs Roche has told you all she can.

Okay.

Why didn't we know that Roche and his sister were adopted?

Families have secrets.

But you must know Alan Richmond didn't have any relatives, so why'd she lie?

Unless... Unless Roche

has Kenny.

She changes her story, Kenny gets to carry on living.

Do you really think he's capable of that?

She was very guarded. He's very scared, I'd say.

He's going to walk, isn't he?

You're wasting your time.

She's lying.

Hello, Sergeant Glover.

Is this a coincidence, or do we have a mutual love of ornamental gardens?

I listed your address off the police computer.

Wait around and then followed you. I don't think that's quite the procedure,

Sergeant Carl. It's not procedure.

Have you found that kid yet?

Without Kenny Richmond, nobody's got anything.

Roach knows that.

You're making it easy for him.

And while he's still in jail, there's still a chance of finding a boy, so stop

screwing around.

I want to tell you something, Mike.

It is Mike, isn't it?

We don't appreciate being followed, and what is that?

I'm being careful.

So should you. All right, that's enough. Come on, let's go.

What do you do to you?

I'm overzealous, it seems.

Don't be his friend, Rose, because he'll hurt you.

I mean, he'll really hurt you.

Come.

Matt? Hi.

Looking for a bike?

Uh, no.

I'm Mr. Maloney. This is Rose Linden. We're from the Criminal Justice Review

Agency. We want to talk to you about your father, Marcus Roche. Look, I have

nothing to do with him. Do you understand?

Why not?

I live my own life here.

Just go, please. Go away.

Matt?

What did he do to you?

He killed my mother.

Is that enough for you?

I thought you died from a car crash.

You don't really know him, do you? What about your grandmother, Anna?

Have you ever gone to see her?

Look, I'm very busy.

He got her. He got them all.

Well, I'm sorry, Max, but we need to ask about your cousin, Kenny. He could be a

very important witness.

Yeah, kid Kenny really dropped the old basket in it, didn't he? Well, he's gone

missing and we're trying... Come on.

This is my father. Of course he's missing.

What do you mean?

They'll never find him.

Nobody will.

He writes to me every three days for the last five years.

What, do you reply?

You see my father, tell him.

Tell him I'm looking forward to spitting on his grave.

Just a nice jumper.

You think it's too much?

Shit.

Give me one of those.

You feeling a bit nervous?

Shut up.

So... Who is it, Maloney?

Who's my date?

It's a surprise.

It's filled from personnel, isn't it?

Yeah.

Oh, Rose, no, don't.

Look, there was nobody else I could... Look, just sit down, will you?

For Christ's sake, bloody hell.

Look, sit down.

You're always on the way out, aren't you?

I ask you to do this one thing for me. Just be nice for once in your life. I

don't get enough sex.

I want some sex.

Um... So unless you're volunteering, please don't blow this for me.

Hi. You must be Julie.

Hi. Um, I had a bit of a trouble finding it, so sorry.

That's fine. Great. You came. Great. Lovely.

I mean, you look lovely. Thank you.

I'll take this for you. This is Rose Linda, my colleague from work.

Oh, please, sit down.

I'll, uh...

Right.

Would you like a drink?

It's Marcus.

Hello, Mum.

Hello, Marcus.

They've been to see me.

I hope they were polite.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Is there anything you need to tell me, Mum?

No.

It's exactly as it was.

And then I was in St. Bulbul for three years. Oh, fantastic.

I was there in 1993. Yeah? Did you like it? Oh, God, yes. A bit hairy. Oh, tell

me about it. So what were you doing?

I was doing some volunteer work for a charity organisation.

What were you doing there?

Oh, that's a long story.

Come on.

Well, I went out to design a shop.

Yeah. How are your chops?

Sorry? Your chops.

Mammal.

That's good.

You can't beat a good chop.

Jacket's on fire, Phil.

What? Ah!

So, um, yeah, so, um, how long did you spend there for? Oh, not very long.

we get the door?

Maloney? Oh, we haven't had dessert yet.

I'd like some pudding.

I quite fancy a sticky toffee pudding.

Would you like some? Yes, please.

A nice young heart.

Cheers.

Oops.

You all right?

I'm fine.

I had a great time last night.

It, uh, wasn't quite what I expected.

Yeah.

Me neither.

Didn't hear you come in last night.

Did you, um... Nope.

Well, didn't Phil... He tried.

Still got the... Yes.

Went for a walk.

Still not the best thing.

How long have you two lived together? It's just temporary. I got kicked out of

my flat.

Oh. It's really nice of Maloney to take me in. Yeah, but it's just temporary.

Yeah.

Think I'll go to work.

You coming?

No, I thought I might come in a bit later and go over some stuff here.

Okay.

You go over your stuff.

It's really nice to meet you, Judy.

Quite a personality.

Yeah.

Rose really is, um...

Yeah.

I think I'd like to go back to bed now, please.

No problem.

Sorry.

Oh, dear.

And then I want to know everything about you.

Everything.

Miss Linden, you finished your preliminary... As a matter of fact, I

area looking for a flat.

Really?

Rent or buy?

They don't pay very much at the CJRA.

No? Oh, well.

The rented sector is so flexible, I find.

Well, it would be.

I don't do so well on the credit checks.

Chaotic with your money, hapless with your personal life, and yet you are so

efficient in your work.

I am good at my job, yeah.

You think I'm a very bad man.

But somehow you sense it's all a bit too convenient.

That I should kill my family so clumsily, so ineffectively.

Say it as it's so.

Do you have the boy?

Oh, really?

Oh, you think I'm capable of that?

My own nephew?

Well, if you didn't commit these murders, then who?

What do you think I've thought about in here?

For four years.

Let go. Shut up.

Can I help you?

That idiot Glover took to wearing a wire every time he spoke to me.

Why is there not our style market?

I'm very glad to hear it.

Sergeant Glover, he really despises you. Well, he has good reason. I ruined his

career. Why?

Because I could.

He got fixated about a fire in a building I owned and he was suspicious.

Rightly so.

Oh, come on.

You can do better than that.

Somehow I offend Mike's sensibilities, but I don't think he recruited the plot

off my family to frame me up.

That would require imagination.

Son?

Oh, Max.

Oh, you've seen Max.

How is my little quizzling?

He says you killed his mother.

Yes.

He says that.

She was a drunk. She drove a car over a bridge. Maybe I contributed to that.

I know you're right to him.

Does he read my letters?

Yes.

I'm getting out.

It isn't decided.

I've thought about things in here.

About... Change?

I am getting out.

What you wonder, Miss Lyndon?

And now, if you'll excuse me, I have toilets I have to clean.

Dr. Day, can you come on?

Yep.

Not too tiring?

No. I mean, Amy, is that a love bite?

Gee, am I not allowed any private life?

Not when that much suction's involved.

All right, all right, listen.

I think Julie's terrific, OK? She's interesting and clever, and we've got

in common, and, yes, she's fantastic in bed, and she thinks I'm fantastic as

well, and we did the lot several times. I didn't know I had it in me. Now, is

there anything else you'd like to know?

Joyce.

You're wanted in Wallace's office.

Rose?

Maloney? This is Sir Andrew Ross QC. He's counsel to Mr Roche.

We've arranged to speak to you next week about it. Well, that won't be necessary

now that the CJRA has referred Mr Roche's case to the Court of Appeal. And

made the referral.

On what grounds?

Mrs Roche has changed her testimony.

Yes, we think there's a possibility she may be acting under duress.

Let me tell you, Mr Maloney, that would be a very, very expensive allegation to

repeat in public.

I expect Mr Roche to be released on bail pending the appeal.

Just hang on a minute. I would like to commend the CJRA on Mr Roche's behalf

all your splendid work.

Thank you.

Yes.

I believe that concludes your investigation for Noah.

It does conclude it, does it not?

Oh, yes, indeed.

Thank you for all you've done.

You had no right, you had no authority to do that. Sit down, Rose.

What's the matter, Wallace?

Too many friends?

Too much wind in his trees for you?

Yes. Sit down.

I am not dragging this agency into a dogfight with the most expensive lawyer

Britain. That is not the way we do things here. We don't shortcut the whole

process just because somebody has money. We have no brief to continue.

Officially, you are off it.

Unofficial, of course. That's a different matter.

Well, I can't be responsible for what you do in your spare time, can I? Which,

as of now, I'm giving you quite a lot of.

Okay. So, is Roche making a monkey out of us? Yeah.

Well, in that case, I want you to take him down.

Hard.

Okay?

Very, very pleased to be taking a first step towards justice. I really don't

want to answer questions.

I would like to thank you for coming.

Nothing further will be said until Mr Roche is cleared at appeal. Thank you.

You killed him, Rob.

You killed him.

It makes me think you're going to go away with it. I really think you ought

move on, don't you?

What is that, the eighth, ninth person you killed now?

Huh? What about the others, eh? What about the people who died in your flats

when you burned them? They're in the past, love. I'd rather like you...

They burnt her life because they couldn't get out. You killed her, Rose.

What are we doing here, Rose?

Just letting him know we care.

He's too clever.

Oh, we're clever too.

Well, I am anyway. You're just a guy with a hickey.

You're a little bit jealous, Rose.

You know I am, Melanie.

Rose.

Hello, Matt.

Well, what was all that about?

I suppose you can hate someone and miss them like crazy, too.

Come on.

So, what do we do now?

Now we put the fear of God into Roche, not... What are we leaving out here?

Well, I suppose we're leaving out the possibility that Roche may be innocent.

Well, what do we really know about Alan Richmond and his wife? Perhaps they had

other enemies.

He'd certainly fallen out with Roche. He'd caused a rift between father and

over money.

What, and Roche caused a bloodbath because of that?

No.

Why did he want Alan dead? There must be something bigger.

Maybe something hidden in the business relationship.

So how do we find that out?

Well, I'll look through the financial stuff again, see if I can pin down the

nominee relationships within the overall holding company frameworks.

You see, Maloney, this is why I need you. That only sounds like English on a

superficial level.

OK.

I'll take you home tonight.

This came through for you?

From an estate agent?

You still looking for somewhere to live?

Now that Maloney's in love, tender grasp and everything?

Yeah, OK.

I'm being really good about this, aren't I?

Yes, yes, she is.

Apart from Roche, who's still alive who knew Alan Richmond really well, who

really knew him?

Hello. You didn't say you were coming.

The vet needs to be here when people come. I'm sure you can manage perfectly

well without a vet.

Well, what do you want?

I can't tell you any more about this.

Can't or won't?

Can I ask, how does it make you feel?

To think your own son killed your husband and daughter.

And would have killed you if he could.

I don't believe that.

I won't believe it. I know about Alan and Marcus.

Why they hated each other so much.

No, you can't.

Who told you?

Mac.

Max told you?

Yes. He's such a bloody fool.

He'll ruin everything.

It was all for the boy.

For Kenny.

Oh, God.

We can't let Marcus have him.

Don't you see?

We had to hide him.

Yes, I think.

We know you've got it, Max.

And your father's free.

How long do you think it's going to take him to get it out of him?

You did this?

No.

Truth comes out, Max.

It's just a matter of how and when.

Hi, boys.

Hi, Max.

Which one is he?

Penny's 15.

They grow up, you know.

Who's that?

Jenny. A friend.

She has her own kids, though. No one knows there's one extra.

You can't come up.

He's scared of men. He'll run.

Yeah, hi, it's me.

Yeah, yeah, I've been busy.

Oh, we've just found someone we've been looking for.

Look, what are you doing later?

Well,

you can do that if you like.

It's a big bath.

Well, big enough for us two.

Yeah, you can light my candle.

He won't be able to tell you anything.

Max, we need to put this right. If your father's guilty... Do you think I'm

going to put him through all that again?

He's 15, like you say.

He's growing up.

Hey.

I brought someone.

Who's she?

She wants to be a friend.

Hi, Kenny.

How are you?

I was wondering if you could tell me some things.

What things?

I want... I'd like to talk to you about your Uncle Marcus.

I'm deaf.

I can't hear what people say.

That's how it goes.

That's how it goes.

I know this must be a terrible thing for you to think about.

But can you remember about the night your Uncle Marcus came to your father's

farm?

She's not a friend.

I don't hear things. That's how it goes.

Listen, I can have him out of here in 20 minutes.

We cracked it.

He'll never see us again.

You think your father would harm Kenny, perhaps even kill him, to stop him from

testifying again?

Dad doesn't want to hurt Kenny. The last thing you want. Do you want to

illuminate us?

My mother.

Three days before she died.

I just got four A -levels at Radley.

Star days a lot. Not that he bloody noticed.

We went up to London anyway so that he could at least take us out for dinner.

Only, we got there early.

He was entertaining his sister.

Elizabeth,

you're

early.

Wait outside, Max.

No.

How long, Danuta?

Always.

I love him, Elizabeth.

Get out, boy.

Get out of here.

I think it took my mum a couple of days to work it out.

Why dad loved Penny so much.

And that's when she drank herself stupid and went out in the BMW.

Dad's sorry.

He writes to me.

He understands what I did.

Technically, Dad and Danuta weren't related.

But that wasn't much compensation to Alan.

Especially when he realized Kenny wasn't his.

Alan told him he would kill him.

I wish he had.

And instead, he went to my grandfather.

Granddad gave Danuta a choice. You either stay with your husband and keep

or... Be cast out.

And that's why he killed them all.

He wants my brother and he can't have him.

He can't have him.

So now what do we do?

I don't know.

Can't let him testify again.

No, I suppose not.

I need to think.

Rosalind. Yeah, hi.

It's this way.

They're not selling very well.

No?

Errol's got a bit of coming up to do, so the managing company will reduce the

deposit and waive the credit cheques for an early decision.

Look around, see what you think.

Where do you think I'm going?

Well, I've had problems with women who leave town.

Leave town?

Yep.

They actually feel they have to move to another city after getting involved with

me.

Well, I... I'm going nowhere.

I've got to do some work tonight, but I don't mind if you want to... No, it's

fine. I can read my book.

What have you got to do? Just go through some evidence.

See if I can stop someone getting away with murder.

I thought you'd made a breakthrough today. You found the person you were

for. Well, it didn't quite work out.

No? No, we thought he'd be a good witness, but he isn't.

Why? Isn't he sure what he saw anymore?

What was this exactly?

It doesn't matter.

I'm just going to run a bath.

Well, that's one less woman in your life.

Sorry? I've got a flat. I'm moving in tomorrow.

Oh. Well, you can have your lover's lamb alone. Is she here?

Yes, she's... OK.

Well, let's celebrate.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

A flat?

Wow. That's a great room.

What's the matter?

Nothing. Are you upset because I'm moving out? No.

I'm not upset because you're moving out. I'm fine. Okay, well, you've had a face

on you like a slapped arse since last night, so come on.

It's Julie, Rose.

She's spying on me.

She's asking questions. She's going through my stuff.

Lonely, you're being paranoid.

When she ran me down in the supermarket car park, she set me up.

It was, what, only a week after we took Rose on?

She that good in bed?

Bloody terrific.

Well, do you have your memories?

Yeah. No, I am sorry, Maloney.

Why does this keep happening to me, Rose?

They don't know you like I know you.

Thanks. Where are they? You're not allowed in there.

Hello, Max.

Sorry. You told him. You bastard, you told him where Kenny was.

They broke in last night and took him. Look, if your dad's got Kenny, the

will find him. You think my father would be that careless?

Oh, I'm so sorry, Max. I promised my gran I would look after him, and you...

just... He's won.

Mr Roche, I promise you, nobody at this agency gave away any information.

They led him to me.

Now keep them away, all right? Keep them away from me.

Matt!

I thought you were supposed to be good.

Yeah, we are good, Wallace. It's just that Roche is... You see, if you say

he wanted a reconciliation with his sons, will he...

That is a pretty strange way to go about it. Well, he's kept Kenny away from the

retrial. Mission accomplished.

You know, Wallace is right. Something's not showing. Facts came through. Not

now. It's from Anna Roche. She wants to change her testimony.

She's going back to her original story.

She'll say she saw Roche at the farm.

Call her.

I just did. She's got a cabin.

To where? She's gone into hiding.

She's going to stand up to him. Well, there. That kills the appeal. You've got

the result you want.

Why does she do this now?

Well, she's got her grandson.

Has he?

Max and Anna, maybe they're just hiding him from us again.

Hi, Faye.

Jesus, mate.

Rose sent me a message.

I've been suspended.

I used to do this in my flat, but I found it got me down in the mornings.

Who are they?

The people that died when he burnt down Art Wright Court seven years ago.

Art Wright Court.

What?

That's nothing.

Couldn't nail him for that, of course.

He walked away.

Just like he's going to walk away from this one.

Is that what you're going to do?

Go away.

His friends will make sure I never work again.

He's beat me.

So?

What's this?

It's my wire.

I don't need it anymore.

I'm relying on you, Rose.

Don't let me down.

Let's find a way to nail him.

Maloney? The door's open.

Maloney!

There's honey on the floor.

Who are you, Judy?

I'd really like to know.

For example, who you think you're working for.

I don't know exactly. Some newspaper guy.

Yeah, and you don't inquire too closely because you're some kind of freelancer

and you're getting paid.

I'm sorry.

They wanted to find the boy, but they rang me today and paid me off, so it

doesn't matter anymore. Well, it matters.

Look, I've never met him, so I wouldn't be able to identify him. No, no, no, of

course not.

Well, you've been paid, why don't you go and get your things?

It's worth saying I really liked you.

Piss off, Julie.

Hello, Joyce, it's Maloney. Hold on a second.

Maloney?

Maloney? Yes, you've got a contact on the police computer. Can he match it

directly to numbers?

What have you done to my mother, Rose?

The landlord.

It's difficult to actually prove I own this building, but, um, yes.

Why?

You needed somewhere to live.

I thought it might make you think more of me.

Well, it doesn't.

So what did you say to my mother?

Oh, she did it all by herself, Marcus.

I had a deep affection for all my family.

Especially to Nuta.

Max told you?

Yeah.

I'd never heard her. Never. Couldn't.

I loved her.

I know you find this difficult to bear, Rose, but I didn't kill them.

Actually, I'm innocent.

You do kill people who cross your marker.

Like those Kurdish people who lived here before you burnt them out.

That was different.

They were standing in the way of commerce, and I only supplied the thugs

the firelighters.

They died.

And look how beautiful this place is now.

Do you know I would give you this land, anything, for my son?

Oh, I know you have, Kenny.

What?

You disappoint me, Rose.

I thought you were brighter than that.

I've lost so much.

All I want is my family.

That's all.

Yeah? Rose, I'm onto something. Can you pick me up?

Give him back, Dad.

Max.

You're following me.

Please.

You can't have him.

I'm sorry.

I swear to you, Max, I'm your mother's grave.

I didn't take him.

So... I'm sorry I offend you.

I'd like to kill you.

That's how it goes with sons of fathers sometimes.

Stick with her, Max.

Believe me, this once, she might be our only hope.

What is this, Maloney?

Joyce turned up a nail salon in Peckham, calls to mobiles in Newcastle, Dublin

and Japan, and Six calls to them from here.

Hmm. Well, what else have we got, Rose?

Yeah? Parcel.

Leave it on the set.

Got time for it, mate.

Just come in.

Really, I think you should just step inside.

Oh, shit.

Go through.

Not very civilised, I'm afraid.

Sorry, I'd really rather not have to kill you, but I'm not sure there's an

alternative.

Oh, you have Kenny.

Upstairs.

Julie proved quite unnecessary in the end. You led me straight to him. Thanks.

Couldn't live with it.

Marriage was a lie.

Son was a lie.

Couldn't forgive her. Yeah, yeah, whatever.

Will you tell her to be quiet? I need to think, Rose.

Why did you kill them all?

Because they knew.

They knew long before stupid little Max told me.

They used me to cover up their filthy little secret.

They pimped their daughter to me to make her look respectable.

So I punished them.

No! No, please!

No! What's happening?

Please! Oh, God, no, no!

No, please, whatever it's been, I beg of you, please, leave us alone, we have a

child, I beg you!

You hurt me, Denuta.

You think I can live with that?

I'm guessing that they shot you with a blank cartridge.

Because the whole thing turned on Anna seeing you dead and Kenny hearing

voice.

I just taped him in a couple of meetings.

I carry it with me everywhere. It cheers me up when I'm down.

That's enough.

We're leaving.

Tell the driver we're on the move.

You went through a lot of trouble, Alan.

You screwed my wife.

And now he's suffered for it.

Anyway, I have a lot of things to do.

And I'm leaving with my son.

But he isn't yours, Alan.

Well, that's not his fault.

And I missed him.

It's going to be tough for Marcus.

No mum to speak up for him after I explain to her exactly what would happen

her precious grandson if she did.

You think you'll get away?

I am away.

I have his boy.

And I think there's a pretty fair chance that Marcus will go back to jail for

the rest of his life.

Don't you?

Please, please, just make me stop. It's okay.

It's stopped.

It's stopped now.

Oh, my God.

Genius. Can I hear that again?

We're very grateful to you. The appeal's been formatted, I would say.

Oh, absolutely.

And I think our case managers should be commended.

You do kill people who cross your markers.

Like those Kurdish people who lived here before you burnt them out.

Hello, Marcus.

And I only supplied the thugs with the firelighters.

They died.

We'll supply you with a copy, of course, and the police already have the

original.

So, Sergeant Glover, please feel free to use this office for as long as you

like.

Marcus Rush.

I'm arresting you on the suspicion of murder of seven individuals at Arkwright

Court Hackney on the 17th of March 1998.

Bye -bye, Marcus.

Bye.

I told you they were good.

Does this mean you'll be moving back in, Rose?

Have you been missing me, Maloney?

Well, I enjoy your company.

Is it okay to say that? Yes, it's okay.

It's customary to, um, repay a compliment.

All right, I enjoy your company too. Thank you. Now, shall we get on? Yeah,

case.
