- The good news is
the little toe rag

has given a full confession.

A uniform found a sawn
off in his gun culture

so funny things show
up in MIT and

the great massage
parlor in the sky

and we can all go home.

So long then, class dismissed.

Bloody dapper, where
are you going?

- Just taking Leslie
for a drink.

- Hope she's not as
cheap as your aftershave.

- She's a vet.

- Evette, thought you
said her name was Leslie.

Well watch where she
puts her hands.

And if you're bringing
her back to my place

put plenty of straw down first.

- Wolf Crane, leave that
young man alone, leave him.

I saw that.

Well thanks for coming
everybody.

I'll try not to keep
you too long.

Some good news for a change.

The chairman of the LEA
called to say that he thinks

that there is no
immediate risk of closure,

at least not before the
end of this year.

So that just leaves
us to get through

the Ofsted inspection next week.

I need hardly remind you that
the futures of 2000 children

depend on the outcome of
the next couple of weeks.

There really is no reason why
we shouldn't get through this.

Good, excellent, Nigel.

- There are still plenty
tickets available

for the forthcoming concert.

It promises to be
an excellent one.

And you might like to keep
any eye on the local news

they're coming after school
today to film Alec Jordan.

They're playing his
scholarship piece.

- How is Alec?

- Actually he's been in a bit of

a state over the past few days.

I don't know what to do,
it's unusual for him.

He's been threatening to
pull out of the concerts.

- I'll see if I can have a word.

Alec that was truly wonderful.

Have you got time
for a quick chat?

Do you want to pop
up to my office?

Alec, Alec please calm down.

Listen you're not
helping yourself.

We can sort out any difficulties

but you must get ahold
of yourself.

Alec look sit down.

Let's sort all this out.

Dalziel here, I think.

Who is it?

Alright let's have a look.

Just my flaming luck.

First night in a month I
have a proper skin full

and some in considerate
sod jumps in the lake.

- Yeah well I was on a promise.

- Take it away.

Signs of violence?

- Just a bruise on his cheek.

A couple walking home
from a club saw the body.

- Any ID on him?

- Bus pass, student concession.

Can't rouse anyone at the bus
company to get an address.

- Alec Jordan, Jordan.

We found
this in the lake?

I'll try
to find his parents.

- No other witnesses?

No.

- There's not much you can
do at this time of the night.

Give us bell if anything
else chattering turns up.

- Everything alright?

- No, it's two o'clock
in the flaming morning.

- Still thirsty?

- Couldn't sleep.

- I went with Novello to see
his next of kin, his dad.

When I told him you were
heading up this investigation

he seemed to recognize
your name.

Have you got some sort
of history with him?

- Ten years ago I
run over his wife

during a pursuit, killed her.

I was heading the team
busting a security van job.

We got the robbers

then I went after their
getaway driver.

I came round the corner
30 yards behind him.

There she was.

Didn't stand a chance.

Dad and the kid saw it all.

- What happened to you?

- It was pitch black.

I was in lawful pursuit.

She wasn't looking where
she was going.

No criminal charges.

Police insurance coughed up
40 grand for the husband.

Not much for a 26
year old woman.

Never did catch the
sod I was chasing.

None of the others
would grass him.

- It will all be fine.

You're just gonna have to be
very brave like I told you.

- The police are
here Mr. Crowley.

- Yes okay.

Look come see me at
break if you like.

Now you be strong for Daddy aye?

- Mr. Crowley.

Good to see you.

How do you do?

- There was interesting
bruise on his right cheek.

As if he'd been punched
or hit with an object.

The primary cause of
death was drowning but

he had some bruises on his chest

as if someone had tried CPR.

Could have been one of
those medics I suppose.

- We'll check.

- But the most interesting thing

is what I found in his blood.

He had a certain
amount of alcohol

but he had a large amount of
benzodiazepine tranquilizer.

The lab are running some
more detailed tests now

but it looks like it
could be flunitrazepam.

- Fluni what?

- The date rape drug.

- Date rape?

- Well it's a heavy duty
prescription tranquilizer.

I believe the name on the
street for it is roofies.

- Any signs of sexual activity?

- No none that I could find.

- Where do you get this stuff?

- It's a prescribed
as a sleeping pill.

- Time of death?

- Somewhere between
nine and 10 p.m.

but definitely no later.

- Two or three hours
unaccounted for.

Lads dealt a Mickey Finn,
punched in the head.

- We better check
with his father

if he had a history of drugs.

- How is he?

- Hard to say.

Seems like the quiet type.

- Andy don't you think it be
better off leaving this to us?

- We know each other.

Good morning Mr. Jordan.

I think you been told
I'm the officer in charge

of the investigation
into your sons death.

I'd like to offer my
sincere condolences.

Couple of things haves
shown up in the post mortem.

We may need your help.

Maybe you'd prefer to
talk to someone else.

The pathologist found a
bruise on Alec's cheek

as if someone had hit him.

We're you aware of any
recent injuries?

He also found a high dose of
tranquilizer in Alec's blood.

Flunitrazepam.

It's not the kind of drug
you hear about every day.

He may not have taken
it intentionally.

- Were you aware or
did you suspect

that Alec was taking
drugs Mr. Jordan?

- Alec didn't take drugs.

He just did his music.

Might he
have been depressed

and taken prescribed
drugs for it?

What are you trying
to say he killed himself?

- We don't know.

But if he was going through
some sort of crisis.

Do you have any idea

why he was down at the lake?

- He was walking home probably.

Did he often
walk home by himself?

- If he missed the bus.

Did he often
come home late

or stay out with friends?

- No, he was always at
home you know just

doing his schoolwork,
practicing his Cello.

- So last night was unusual?

- When did you notice
something was wrong?

It was about 10
o'clock and he weren't home so

I went down to the school,
see if I could find him.

Couldn't see him so.

That's when I rang you lot.

Fat lot of good that did me.

- Did you try and contact
any of his friends?

- He's only got one,
Sophie Caine.

Her mum said she wasn't there.

Could she
have been with Alec?

- I doubt it she was probably
in the club or with a bloke.

- Do you think Alec
would have told you

if he was unhappy Mr. Jordan?

- He's always been unhappy

ever since he lost his mum.

- Would it be alright to
have a look in his room?

- It's just a routine
part of the investigation.

What's that?

Stuff about
the accident.

Do you think
his dad knows?

Knows what?

You didn't
know about these?

Where are
all the bloody teachers?

Taking cover.

Looks like
it don't it aye?

Watch it.

Get off fatso.

- Fatso?

That's not fat lad
that's ballast.

25 years in the pack.

Football's a girls game anyway.

- Just getting to know them sir?

- Just like any kids.

Need a firm bit of handling
that's all.

So what we got?

- Alec was filming with
the local news people

in the school hall 'til seven.

He'd just won a scholarship
for the Royal Academy of Music.

Then he went upstairs to talk
with the Headmaster Crowley.

They were in his office
'til about 7:45.

Apparently he was upset,
having a rough time at school,

and under pressure with
all his commitments.

- So he was in a state?

- Sound like it.

Crowley says he left
here about eight

by which time he'd calmed down.

- Make sense he went
and got himself stoned.

- Any luck on the drugs?

- His dad reckons he
didn't touch them.

- Looks like he was gay.

We were wondering
about the lake.

Do you see a popular
spot in there then?

- I have no idea.

- Maybe he got some drugs
from a school friend.

Bought some cheap booze and
went out looking for company.

- I'll do some asking around?

- I take my hat off
to you Mr. Crowley.

I'd rather deal with
hardened criminals

any day than that lot out there.

- We do our best with them

despite the government's
best efforts.

- Alec Jordan must have
been a shining light.

- He put us all in the shade.

I just can't believe
what's happened to him.

When I left him last night
I thought he was alright.

- We understand he'd
been distressed.

- He was very highly strung.

His home circumstance
wasn't the easiest.

Everything was so
promising for him.

- So he was upset about
his home life?

- The pressure of work mostly
but that's what he said.

- Did he appear intoxicated
to you?

As if he'd been taking
drugs or alcohol.

- No, he'd just been preforming
for the news cameras.

We came straight up here.

- No one else with you?

- My daughter was in the
next room doing her homework.

- The pathologist
found a powerful

tranquilizer in his blood,
flunitrazepam.

It's known on the street as
roofies, and some alcohol.

Is that the sort of behavior
you would have expected of him?

- No.

Alcohol maybe.

- I could be wrong but
he doesn't strike me

as the streetwise type
who would be able

to got out on the town
and by that stuff.

- I'd be very surprised.

- So the chances are
someone in the school

knows where the drugs came from.

- Well we'll certainly do
everything we can to help.

Any chance I
could have a word with them?

- I suppose I could gather
the six form together

though you must realize
our discipline

situation is very precarious.

- I'd be very grateful.

Thanks for the tea and biscuits.

One other thing.

Do you know anything
about Alec being gay?

- No.

- Only these things don't tend
to go unnoticed in schools.

Kids can be cruel little gits.

- I had no idea.

Are you sure you're
the best one to do this?

You'd only intimidate them.

Intimidate this lot?

You should meet my
old headmaster.

Foot out of line it
was six on the rear

and another six for flinching.

- And look at the compassionate

individual it turned you into.

- God save us from
your sort Pascoe.

They'll be no decent folk left
for you to patronize soon.

Where is it?

- Are you the police?

- Yeah and you are?

- Sandra Pallister, the
school counselor.

You'll be gentle with
them won't you?

They're all very upset.

- Death is upsetting.

- Excuse me, excuse me.

- Can we have some quiet please?

Thank you.

I'm Detective Superintendent
Dalziel.

And I'm investigating the
death of your fellow pupil.

- Student.

- Your fellow student
Alec Jordan.

As you probably know
he was found

dead at the lake last night.

There was a large amount
of a drug in his system.

Flunitrazepam, that's
roofies to you lot.

I'm gonna leave my phone
number on that notice board.

Now you've got 'til five
o'clock this afternoon

to phone in with information
about drugs

or anything else to
do with Alec Jordan.

If I don't hear anything
I'll be through this place

like a dose of the
clap understood?

I look forward to
hearing from you.

Thank you.

- You don't seriously
expect them

to respond to threats do you?

- I'm a police officer
investigating

a suspicious death
Mrs. Pallister.

I'm not a social worker.

Now who's the young lady who
just left through that door?

- Sophie Caine.

- And the young man
with floppy hair

and an attitude who
followed her?

- Julian Beeson.

- Teacher?

- English.

- Figures.

- You can always miss
afternoon lessons.

You can use my office if
you want to be on your own.

- Sophie Caine?

Perhaps you'd give us a
moment alone Mr. Beeson.

- Yeah.

- I'm more of an Edmundo
Ros man meself.

Friend of Alec's were you?

Any idea what happened to him?

- Don't know.

You were
out last night.

- Not with Alec.

- Who with?

- None of your business.

It wasn't
that English

teacher by any chance was it?

- He was giving me extra
lessons alright.

I've missed stuff I've been ill.

- Did Alec hang out in here?

- Sometimes.

- Smoke?

Grass, hash, Leb?

- No.

- What about roofies?

- He didn't take drugs.

- We think he might
have been gay.

Do you know if he
was seeing anyone?

- He told me he was gonna
come out at college.

It wasn't a big deal.

- He had a box full of
papers under his bed

all about an accident that
happened 10 years ago.

Any idea why?

- You mean about his mum dying?

He was always on about that kept

trying to find things
out about the accident.

Some copper run her over.

- Are you alright Sophie?

You don't have to answer any
questions you don't want to.

- Get lost Sandra.

- Fine.

You know where to find me.

- Do you always talk to
your teachers like that?

- I've got a lesson.

- Settle down quickly
as possible please.

- You must have spent
a lot of time with him.

- Course I did.

- And you never suspected
that he might be

uncertain about his sexuality?

- I'm a music teacher.

We have a professional school
counselor Sandra Pallister

who deals with that
sort of thing.

- For an experienced
teacher the signs

can't be that hard to read.

- It wasn't subject
that we discussed.

- I wasn't asking you
if you discussed it.

Just if you'd noticed.

- I'm a music teacher.

We discussed music.

- Anything occurs to you.

- He should have asked me.

I can bloody well remember

the accident like
it was yesterday.

Better bag this up.

I'm sure the coroner
will want to see it.

Sophie it's Alec.

Where are you?

I need to talk to you.

Call me, I'm in a phone box.

The numbers 01-632-960
double O eight.

I think Clifford knows
more than he's letting on.

- What makes you say that?

- He claims not to have
known about Alec's sexuality.

I just don't believe it.

I think he's gay.

I swear I've seem in
the sparkle hotel bar.

- Where was he last night?

- Says he went home,
lives alone.

- What's this?

- The first positive sighting

of Alec after he
left the school.

Hobbs Off License just
up from the lake.

DC Palmer recovered it.

Alec comes in at 8:32 and
buys a liter of cider.

You can see he's already
unsteady on his feet.

But the owner just goes
ahead and sells it to him.

- I hope we've nicked
him for that.

He should his flaming license.

- We're dealing with it.

There you can see
his whole face.

No bruising to his cheek.

- So the chances are he got
hold of the drugs much earlier.

- From someone at school?

- I been searching
the databases.

There's never been a
reported incident of roofies

being discovered or any drugs
at Fender and Wetherton.

- Any sightings of
him at the lake?

He must have been down there
the best part of two hours.

- A man phoned in and
said he thought

he saw someone sitting
by himself.

Couldn't be sure it
was Alec though.

- Get a couple of
officers down there Wield.

Stop everyone going past.

I'm gonna have another word with

his dad about these pictures.

- Don't you think I should
perhaps do this one Andy?

He might be a bit
more forthcoming.

- No idea.

- Did he ever talk to
you about the accident?

- Of course he did,
lost his mother.

- Where you aware that he'd been

preoccupied with it recently?

- Not especially.

Did he tell
you he was trying

to get an appointment
with the child

psychologist he saw
when he was 11?

- No.

- Has there ever been
any other traumatic event

in Alec's life that
might have disturbed him?

- No.

- I'm just trying
to work out if his

disturbance over this
accident could have

caused him to kill himself.

- When you see your
wife or mother

run over and killed it's
not something you forget.

Preys on your mind,
never goes away.

If he was anything like
me he was haunted by it.

- Anything?

- Only the obvious.

I don't suppose he and
Alec talked about it much.

Maybe Alec was just trying to
work things out for himself.

Do you not think we might
already know the answer Andy?

He was just a very unhappy lad.

He killed himself.

He could have injured
his face falling in.

- I'm not pursuing this
just to make me feel better.

- I know.

- Look even if he did
jump in the water

he wasn't in his right mind.

Whoever gave him those drugs

might as well have
pushed him in.

I'm not handing that
file over to

the Coroner's Office
until they're behind bars.

Someone's got to
teach those kids

what's right and bloody wrong.

And if the flaky flaming
teachers won't do it then I
will.

- Here is the ancient floor
footworn and hallowed and thin.

Here is the former door where
the dead feet walked in.

She sat here in her chair
smiling into the fire,

he who placed it there
bowing it higher and higher.

Child like I danced in a dream.

Blessings and blaze in that day.

Everything glowed with a gleam
yet we were looking away.

- What's going on?

- We have a warrant
here to search

the bags, lockers,
and possessions of

these named individuals
for controlled substances.

- Why, on what evidence?

- Those kids aren't
drug dealers.

They were friends of
Alec's and Sophie's.

You asked who their
friends were.

- I did and I was hoping
at least one

would call in with information
but none of them did.

So I'm the git with the
bad job and I do this.

And I don't think walking away

will do anyone a service do you?

Excuse me.

- Do something Ken stop them.

- I can't, they've
got a warrant.

- The poem uses imagery to
convey emotion in the reader.

Can anyone describe the
sensual idea of the poem?

Sophie.

- You're only really happy
when you don't know you are.

And remembering when you
were happy is always sad.

Because the happiness is gone.

Yes?

- Is Sophie Caine in this class?

Would you come with me please?

- What's going on?

- A lawful search.

If I were you I'd get back
to my class Mr. Beeson.

Here we are sir.

- I'd say this belongs
to you Miss Caine.

- Come on that's nothing.

- Go on.

- Miss Caine I'm
arresting you on suspicion

of knowingly being in
possession of a controlled drug.

- You can't do that.

Do you realize what
happened to her?

- You do not have
to say anything

but it may harm your defense
if you do not mention

when questioned something
- Call your parents.

- you later rely on in court.
- Get their solicitor.

This is stupid.

- Shut up, I didn't tell.

- Take her down to the
station will you?

- I'm going to complain
about this.

- Smoke a bit of pot
yourself do you?

- What is this a witch hunt?

- No.

A potential murder
investigation.

Did you have much to
do with Alec Jordan?

- He was in my class.

- Where you were you the
evening before last Mr. Beeson?

- So I'm a suspect am I?

- Miss Caine tells me
she was with you.

Extra lessons or extra
curricular activities?

The love that dare not
speak it's name aye?

May be easy pickings Mr. Beeson.

But it's not exactly what
I call in loco parentis.

And if you must sleep
with your students

it's best to use a what's it.

Big boy like you
should know that.

- What are you going
to do about Sophie?

It's alright June.

- They're treating her as a
scapegoat for the whole school.

- They found drugs
in her locker.

I shall have to exclude her.

- Do you any idea how many
kids bring drugs into school?

We've got 11 years old
on crack for God's sake.

- One isolated case.

- How would you know you
never leave your ivory tower.

- If only Julian.

If I don't act decisively now

we could be closed
down tomorrow.

- Not even you can
be this cowardly.

- You know I'd be more willing
to accept your criticism

if I didn't suspect
you weren't acting

out of such naked self interest.

I don't know what your
relationship is with Sophie
Caine

but if you're having
an affair with her

you will lose your job

and your references will
make you unemployable.

Do I make myself clear?

- So where did the
cannibis come from Sophie?

You must have bought
it from someone.

I don't remember.

- I may be of a certain
age but I'm not senile yet.

Someone sold it to you.

- I'm not a grasser alright.

So you might as well
save your breath.

- Has your dealer ever offered
you anything more exotic?

E, crack, roofies?

Look all I want from
you is the list

of the dealers Alec
would have gone to.

I promise they'll never know

it was you who gave
me the names.

- It's just bit of puff
alright it's nothing.

- Granted it's not the
worlds most serious offense

but what Alec took killed him.

Helping us won't make
things any worse for you.

But it could make things a lot
better for us and Alec's dad.

- He told you to come
looking for me did he?

- No.

- I didn't give Alec the stuff.

I know his dad thinks I'm
some sort of junkie I'm not.

I gave him some grass
once and one time

we went to a club and
he tried some E.

He wasn't interested.

- Listen to me Sophie.

Sooner or later we're
gonna find a trail.

Someone sold to someone
else who sold to Alec.

If you're name turns
up then it's gonna be

so much worse than
if you tell us now.

- It wasn't me.

It wasn't bloody me.

I don't know who it was.

How many times do I
have to tell you?

- Alright, interview suspended.

- Why won't you help us Sophie?

- Sod off.

- If I were you young lady

I'd sit there and have
a good I think.

Living with someone's
death on your conscious

is not a pleasant feeling
believe me.

My client
is only charged

with possession of cannibis.

- For now.

- We'll be a moment.

I think you're being
too harsh on her.

If she doesn't know
she doesn't know.

- Who the hell do
you think she buys

the flaming stuff from
day in and day out?

- I don't think she's
lying to us.

You can see how upset she is.

She was a friend.

- Some friend.

- We've scared the
hell out of her.

Why don't we let
her go and see if

her conscious gets
to her overnight.

- Let her go?

This might be the one
chance we've got

to find out where he
got the drugs from.

- Even if she does know I
can't see her telling you.

You haven't exactly tried
to build bridges with her.

- So I'm no longer
able to deal with

suspects under 30
in your opinion?

- Why don't you leave her to me?

- Oh you do what you want.

- Andy.

- Hello Belinda.

How's tricks?

Still collecting pips faster
than a pair of cheap dentures?

- Can we have a word?

- I'd prefer a lunch.

We've received
eight complaints

about your search of
Bromwich Comprehensive

one of them from the
chairman of the LEA.

You disrupted an entire school

in the middle of a working day

to recover a tiny amount
of cannibis.

- I'm conducting a murder
investigation.

I took the steps I considered
necessary.

- You do realize the
school is about

to undergo an inspection
that could close it down.

- That's not my problem.

- An officer of your rank is
expected to use his judgment.

- Maybe if your little
darling had to attend

that glorified sewer
you'd be grateful.

But no teenage yabo
is gonna drug her up

and rip her knickers off
at the ladies college.

- Andy I appreciate that
we've had our differences.

- Personally I'm more
concerned about

the death of a kid than
our differences.

- Well perhaps this
whole case is

a little bit too personal
for you Andy.

- I was wondering when you were
gonna throw that back at me.

I'm doing my job how
I've always done it.

- Andy you're experienced
enough to judge for yourself

whether you should be
running this case.

I just want you to promise that

you'll proceed with discretion.

- I'll proceed as I see fit.

And if you don't like it you
can send me to the headmaster.

- I trust it won't come to that.

- Sophie.

Hey I'm sorry about
the coercion.

Look I just want to
know what happened.

I need to understand him.

Look Sophie.

There's something you
aught to know about me.

I'm the copper that
run his mother over.

Alec saw it all happen.

He was seven years old.

A little lad next to
his dad and mother.

You told me he'd been
talking about it.

If that's why he jumped
in here I'd like to know.

- I don't know why he did it.

- Sophie

if there's a problem with
your mum and dad I...

- My mum couldn't give a toss.

And dad'd just try
and score off me.

- I take you don't get
on too well then?

- They fight like hell.

Me and me brother were
in care for two years.

We only went back 'cause me
dad got put away for GBH.

- And after all that you,

you still got yourself
a place at University.

- I did have.

- Sophie.

- What are you doing here?

- I was hoping with
your permission

to take another look
at Alec's room.

- What for this time?

- I'd just like to
satisfy meself

that there's nothing I missed.

- You found out who gave
him those drugs yet?

- No.

- There's a surprise.

- You've got every
right to tell me

to go burn in hell Mr. Jordan.

In your shoes that's
probably what I'd do.

But what happened to
your boy matters to me.

- Can't sleep at night aye?

- Lives of the Composers.

To a young man who has
given me infinite joy.

May all of your tomorrows
shine like stars in Heavens.

N.C, Christmas 2000.

You have any idea who N.C. is?

- Nigel Clifford,
his music teacher.

- I will find out who gave
him those drugs Mr. Jordan.

I promise.

- Help her, help her
get an ambulance.

She's dead, she's dead.

You've killed her you bastard.

Dead, she's dead, she's dead.

You've killed her you bastard.

You've killed her you bastard.

For the
last time Sophie

will you get out of there?

To a young man
who's given me infinite joy.

May all of your tomorrows shine
like stars in the Heavens.

What do
you make of it?

Could be
perfectly innocent.

What if
Wield is right

and the music teacher is gay?

Would that make it
any less innocent?

He doesn't
even know if Clifford

would be into those
kind of drugs.

Never underestimate
the extent

of human atrocity Peter,
it even amazes me.

- Yes I gave this to Alec.

- What did you mean
by your inscription?

To a young man who has
given me infinite joy.

- It's just a poetic
turn of phrase.

There's nothing improper
about it.

- Did you harbor romantic
feelings for Alec Mr. Clifford?

He was an exceptional young man.

- No I just tried to guide
him, to be some sort of mentor.

Do you know what a
difficult home life he had?

- He confided that
in you did he?

- It wasn't a secret.

- You told Detective Sergeant
Wield that you went home

alone at seven o'clock
the night Alec died.

Did you stay home
alone all evening?

- I went out later
in the evening.

- Where were you between eight
and 10 o'clock Mr. Clifford?

- I went to a friend's
house for some dinner.

A male friend?

- Yes.

There were several
friends actually.

- Why didn't you tell
us this before?

- I don't know I just,
I thought...

- We'd leap to conclusions.

- One or two of them
are married.

- Did you suggest to Alec

he might come along
to this dinner?

- No.

- You weren't tempted to
introduce him into some

high minded company
he might find

more agreeable than the
yabo's of this place?

- I don't know what you've
been digging up Mr Dalziel

bu I have never abused
my position of trust.

Just because I'm a gay teacher

doesn't make me a potential
predator.

It's not fair to be
accused like this.

I did everything
I could for him.

- So this isn't the first time

your student teacher
relationships

have been called into question?

- If you want to ask
me any more questions

than I shall have to
have a solicitor.

I refuse to be harassed
in this way.

- I'd appreciate a list of
the people you were with.

- I don't think so Mr. Dalziel.

- Think I hit a nerve?

- He's right Andy.

Being gay doesn't make
him a suspect.

- The school rules
are very clear.

Any pupil found with
drugs is excluded.

If I fail to exclude
you I can guarantee

the governors would overrule me.

- What about my exams?

I've got enough to do English.

- Well I'm sure we can organize

some outside tuition for you.

I'll arrange with the head of
the area to call you at home.

- I won't be there.

- Then I'll him to expect
a call from you.

- What will you do
with Mr. Beeson?

- Mr. Beeson?

- He gave me the dope
and he got me pregnant.

What will the governors
say about that?

- I think the drugs are
a matter for the police.

As for your relationship
with Mr. Beeson

it's probably best if
you put any complaint

you have against him in writing.

- You're not gonna
sack him then?

- We have procedures for
investigating alleged
misconduct.

They will be followed.

- So you're not?

- I think we've said
all that needs

to be said for the
present moment.

- You're never gonna
talk to me again.

- Good day Sophie.

# Locked up inside my metal cage

# Always tense and
filled with rage

# Above the concrete
fields below

# With you I wanna go wanna go

# Music is my sanctuary

# Music is my blanket

# I see only what I wanna see

# I'll be only what I wanna be

# My blanket covers me yes

# Yeah check it

# Now as a youth man
I was body popping

# Breaking on the lino

# Traded in my lino
for a pad and a biro

# Used to stand in line just
so as I could sign my giro

# But now my ends meet in
the best way that I know

# And the beats that go boom

# See the music I consume
to escape the doom and gloom

# All the beats and melodies
that keep realities at bay

# But what happens when
the records done

# And start to fade away fade

# Music is my sanctuary

# Music is my blanket

I want that thing

checked thoroughly strait away.

Who she's been calling,
who called her.

- There were witnesses.

Couple of kids on the top floor
saw her go up on the roof.

The family used to live there.

- The family were part of
the problem weren't they?

Shed been in care for two years,

was on the verge of
getting out of here,

going to University,
then we came along.

- It's not our fault Andy.

- No, but we ask the
questions don't we?

We can't help as if
they're the wrong ones.

- I didn't do anything wrong.

She was depressed I
was trying to help her.

This school isn't the easiest

environment for a girl like her.

- She was pregnant
with your child.

She jumped off a tower block.

How can you stand there any
deny all responsibility?

What am I meant to
tell her parents.

- I'm not afraid of the truth.

- Oh for pity's sake Julian.

- Well how do you think I feel?

Do you think I care about what
you're going to tell them?

Hard though it is for you to
understand I cared about her.

- Oh come on.

- I'm not interested in
your pompous morality.

- Well maybe if you had
any she wouldn't be dead.

- You have my resignation.

I don't give a damn
about you or your school.

I hope they do close you down.

- Don't want you, your
baby, anything.

- It was the last text message.

She sent it to Beeson
at 8:30 this morning.

And that's
why she killed herself?

Just 'cause she was pregnant.

There's also this.

Alex sent her two voicemails
the night he died.

Sophie it's Alec.

Where are you?

I need to talk to you.

Call me, I'm in a phone box.

The numbers 01-632-960
double O eight.

- That's the box just
along from the Off License.

I've got print out of all the
calls from Tuesday evening.

You can see the first
call to Sophie's phone

is logged at 8:45 then
there's along gap

before another call this time
to Alec's home number at 9:53.

- Five minutes long.

Why the hell didn't
Jordan tell us about that?

- Straight after that he
called Sophie's number again.

Where are you?

Call me, call me I've
just spoken to dad.

I can't go home and I need
somewhere to stay Soph, call me.

Please.

- That was his last call.

- Why couldn't he go home?

- Maybe they had a row.

Jordan doesn't seem
the type to take

having a gay son in his stride.

If he knew then...

- What do we know about
Clifford's past?

- I did some research
at his old school.

A 16 year old boy alleged
Clifford propositioned him.

He later dropped the complaint

but the DIA in charge had
a bad feeling about it all.

- You and Wield go and
have a word with him.

Make sure he's not still at it.

Ivor let's you and
me go see Jordan.

That is your number isn't it?

- Yeah.

- Did Alec call you Mr. Jordan?

- Yes.

- What did he say?

It might help.

- He wasn't making much sense he

mumbled something
about being gay.

I could tell he was drunk,
told him to come home.

He just balled some
more and said he wasn't

gonna come home and
put the phone down.

- So it was a pretty
big moment between you?

Why didn't you tell me about it?

- What's it matter?

I could live with
having a gay son

it's not the end of the world.

- You knew he was gay?

- You get an instinct.

I was worried sick about
him to tell the truth.

- You were concerned he
might do something stupid?

- Don't know what he was up to.

He wasn't in his right mind.

- Have you got any idea why

he didn't feel he
could come home?

We're you close enough to
talk about that sort of thing?

Being gay?

- We're close enough.

I brought him up single
handed for God's sake.

Who else did he have to talk to?

I did nothing wrong.

The complaint
at your last school

was made by a boy of
a similar age to Alec.

- It was a false allegation
the police dismissed it.

- But you did admit to
them that you'd developed

an inappropriately close
relationship with him.

- I would never make
that mistake again.

- Mr. Clifford you were as close

to Alec as anybody
at the school.

What do you think was upsetting
him the night he died?

- I don't know I've never
seen him in such a state.

Maybe something had
happened at home.

- If you were so friendly
with him why didn't you ask?

Why did Mr. Crowley had
to deal with him?

- I didn't feel as if
it was appropriate.

- Why was that?

- Given the past I felt
that it was wiser

to avoid any situation
that might lead to

any sort of accusations.

But you gave
him the book.

- All I ever wanted
to do was help him.

I would never, never ever
do anything to hurt him.

That'll do for
now Mr. Clifford.

- How many witnesses were
there to the accident?

- None apart from me,
Alec and his dad.

Andrew.

- So let me guess.

You'd like me to say a few words

at the Chief Constable's
retirement do.

- Mr. Jordan would like you

to be removed from
the investigation.

- I see.

Any particular reason?

- It was never gonna
be an easy ride Andy.

Apparently you've
been asking him

questions about the accident.

- I've been investigating
the state of his son's mind.

It's not may fault he was
obsessed with his mother's
death.

- I appreciate that
you've been acting

out of the best of motives
but you should

leave DI Pascoe to
wrap things up.

As yet this is not a
murder investigation.

I've tried to let you run
with this Andy I really have.

But if Jordan wants
you off the case

I'm afraid I can't refuse.

- Some of us are going
for a pint, you coming?

- No thanks.

- What are you doing?

- I'm clearing the
decks for you inspector.

ACC's booting me off the case.

You're in charge now.

- Hey.

You don't have to do
this to yourself Andy.

Could have been any one
of us driving that car.

You eaten?

- I'm not hungry.

He was trying to say something.

All this stuff, these pictures.

There's a message in
this lot somewhere.

I'm just not reading it.

- Maybe he was just confused.

He's a gifted troubled
17 year old lad

living in a hostile environment.

- Spare me the socio
will you Peter.

- Maybe we'll never know.

- And you can live
with that can you?

- Might have to.

Post mortem show no
traces of either

drugs or alcohol in
Miss Caine's system.

Her death is not therefore
being treated as suspicious.

The investigation into Alec
Jordan's death is continuing.

Are you
children offered

drugs in school Mr. Crowley?

- No we have a strict
anti-drugs policy at Bromwich.

How common
are roofies in Wetherton?

- This is the first known case

of the drug being abused
in this area.

Isn't it true
that many of the staff

in this school are taking
tranquilizers as prescription?

- I wouldn't know.

Are any of
them taking flunitrazepam?

- I have no idea.

You'd have to ask
them personally.

But it is
possible isn't it?

Aren't they all under
incredible stress

with the inspection coming up?

- Look I've really no idea.

As far as I'm concerned my staff
are coping incredibly well.

Now that's it, thank you.

- Hi Nichola.

Fallen out with your
friends aye?

Nichola do you mind if
I ask you a question?

You were doing your
homework outside

of your dad's study on
Tuesday night weren't you?

When Alec was talking
with your dad.

How was Alec when he came
out your dad's office?

- Fine.

He'd stopped crying.

I mean was he wobbling at all?

As if he'd been drinking.

- I've got to go.

- The psychologist let
me have his file.

He said he couldn't remember
much about Alec himself.

What exactly are
you looking for?

- I have no idea.

More pictures of the accident.

But what's the point of it all?

- If you get the child
to draw their trauma

it can help them get over it.

They can accept what happened
and put it behind them.

- So why was he still drawing

the same pictures
six years later?

- Doesn't always work.

Looks like
people fighting.

Could be.

- Do you mind if I
take this with me?

- No.
- Thank you.

- What is it?

- We're still looking
for the source

of the drugs in Alec's body.

You appreciate we have to
investigate every avenue.

- Of course.

- Flunitrazepam was a drug which

can be obtained on prescription.

It's basically a sleeping
pill, strong vallum.

- So I understand.

- Given that he was already
very unsetting on his feet

by 8:30 and he was
with you from seven

'til 7:45 I just
wondered if he'd

taken anything whilst
he was in here.

- Not that I saw.

- Do you take any prescription
tranquilizers Mr. Crowley?

- Occasionally.

- Do you mind telling
me what kind?

- I'm not really sure.

- Do you have any with you?

Flunitrazepam.

- Really?

I never read the labels.

- Did you give Alec any of
these pills Mr. Crowley?

- No.

- Well unless you can offer
any credible explanation

for how he got one I'm
gonna have to arrest you.

- What are suggesting?

That I'm responsible
of Alec's death?

- Well these pills seem
the most likely source.

The coincidence is
pretty remarkable.

- This is ridiculous.

If Alec took my pills
I can only suggest

that he did so when I left
to room for five minutes.

- So you're saying you
left him alone in here?

- Nichola knocked on my door.

She was having trouble
with her homework.

I went out for two minutes
to help her.

- You left the room to help
Nichola with her homework?

- Yes.

- Do you remember the
problem you helped her with?

- Math, some geometry or other.

- And you think Alec
went through your desk?

- Well if he took
my pills it seems

the only credible explanation
they were in that drawer.

- Yes.

May I take these?

- Of course.

- Terry Kinnaird?

- Yeah.

- Detective Superintendent
Dalziel, Wetherton CID.

Nice little place you got here.

- Yeah.

- So this is what happens
when a young

getaway hangs up his spurs aye?

- What am I meant to have done?

- You used to be quite
an accomplished car thief

in your time didn't
you Mr. Kinnaird?

- That was years ago.

I've done me stretch.

- Remember an XR3I,
August 14, 1990?

It was used as a getaway
for a security van job.

I have reason to believe
you were the driver.

- Are you being serious?

- Completely.

You sped away when your
mates got nicked.

You were followed by
an unmarked police car

through the Brockle Estate.

You turned onto Winchere's Road.

The police car in pursuit
came round the corner,

knocked down a young
woman, killed her

in full view of her
seven year old son.

I want to know what you saw.

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

- You soon will.

I'm arresting you for robbery.

Think of it as paying an
outstanding debt to society.

So you were
sitting outside

of your dad's study
doing your homework?

- Yeah.

- And how did Alec seem when
he came in with your dad?

- You can take your
time Nichola.

It's okay.

- He was crying, really upset.

Dad was trying to help him.

- Yeah well that's what
headmasters do isn't it?

I bet your dad helps
lots of kids doesn't he?

- Yeah.

- Could you see them
in the study

from where you were sitting?

Could you hear what
they were saying?

- Not much, dad was just
trying to calm him down.

- How long were they
in there for?

- Nearly an hour.

- They didn't come out
of the room for an hour?

Not at all.

- Except when dad came out.

When was that?

- I was stuck on my
homework he came to help me.

- What he just came out?

- No I asked him to,
I knocked on the door.

What time was that?

- I don't know.

- Was Alec still crying when
you knocked on the door?

- I can't remember he
had his back to me.

- So he didn't mind you
interrupting him?

- No.

Okay so you
knocked on the study door.

You went in and you
asked your dad

for help with your homework?

- Yeah.

What did he say
to Alec at that point?

- He just he'd be
back in a minute.

So he just got
up and left him did he?

- Yeah.

I'm surprised your dad

left Alec when he
was really upset.

- No he wasn't upset then.

- Well how could
you know Nichola?

You said he had his back to you.

This was maths homework was it?

And you got stuck on a problem?

- Yeah.

- Do remember which one it was?

If we got your maths book
maybe you'd remember then.

It must have been a tough one

to call your dad
out of the study

where he was with Alec
who'd been crying.

- I don't know.

- I think that's enough for now.

- What topic was it Nichola?

Can't you
see she's upset?

- You must remember what
problems you were doing.

Equations, fractions,
long division?

- That's not it.

- Nichola this didn't
happen did it?

Your dad didn't come
out of his study did he?

He didn't leave Alec by himself.

My colleague and I just spoke
to your daughter Mr. Crowley.

- I thought you might.

- I'm not satisfied with
your explanation

for how Alec got hold
of the pills.

Flunitrazepam is a class C drug.

Supplying to another is a
relatively minor offense.

However I have no alternative
but to arrest you.

You do not have to say anything,

but it may harm your defense
if you do not mention

when questioned something which
you later rely on in court.

- I never meant to harm him.

Anything you do
say may be used in evidence.

- I'm trying to help him,
trying to calm him down.

- You don't have to say
anything right now Mr. Crowley.

- Oh God.

- Hey.

What's this about you
nicking Crowley?

- He gave Alec the pills
to calm him down.

He admitted it, I
just bailed him.

- There's more to it than that.

I'm just about to deliver
Terry Kinnaird.

- Who?

- The getaway driver I
was chasing 10 years ago.

I think he might have
something to tell us.

- What do you mean?

- I might have found
a way with the ACC.

- Can you ask Nigel to
introduce the concert?

There's a few things
I've got to do.

- I'm so sorry Ken.

- Most of you will
know that in only

the last few days we've
suffered a tragic loss.

With the untimely death
of Alec Jordan,

a quite exceptional and
gifted young musician

that I had the unique
privilege to teach.

Very shortly before
his death Alec

was filmed playing
one of his favorite

pieces by local television news.

The producers have
kindly agreed to

show us the video
tape this evening.

- Dalziel.

What the hell do you want?

- I'm arresting you
on suspicion of

the murder of your
son Alec Jordan.

- What?

- Read it for yourself
if you don't believe it.

When Kinnaird came
round that corner.

He saw a man punching
his wife in the face

while a little boy tried
to stand between them.

Tried to stop his dad
belting his mom again.

You told the police she was
innocently crossing the road.

- She was.

She was going to the
phone box to call her mom.

The path report
showed she had a broken nose.

Kinnaird saw you punch
her in the face.

Then she fell into the gutter.

He had to swerve around her.

- That's rubbish.

If you hadn't been
driving like such

a maniac shed still
be here and Alec.

- There may be some
truth to that Mr. Jordan.

But you're wife died 'cause
she was running away from you.

- No way I never touched her.

- Recognize these?

There's hundreds of them.

His head was full of it.

He saw it all,

the punch,

Kinnaird,

the accident,

but he couldn't tell
a living soul,

not even the child psychologist
when he was 11 years old.

There was
nothing to tell.

- You wouldn't let him tell.

He was scared out of his wits.

And after what he'd seen
you do I'm not surprised.

- Look I know what you're trying

to do Dalziel and no
amount of this crap

will take her blood
off your hands.

- Play the tape Peter.

Where are you?

Call me, call me I've
just spoken to dad.

I can't go home and I need
somewhere to stay Soph, call me.

Please.

- Doesn't sound happy does he?

His own father cannot
be much comfort to him.

Not surprising when he
knew he was a murderer.

- I didn't hear him say that.

Did you?

- I don't think Alec called
you up to say he was gay.

I reckon he told you what
he knew about the accident.

He spent months putting
all the pieces together.

But thanks to his well
meaning headmaster

his tongue ran away with him.

It all came out, the
whole sordid history.

I bet you were down
there like a shot.

You couldn't shut
him up anymore.

He had his scholarship,
a new life ahead of him.

One day he was gonna
drop you right in it.

And you were going down
for murdering your wife.

I don't suppose he put
up much of a fight.

He was so far gone he
could hardly walk.

But he still had a mouth on him.

So you hit him.

Smacked him right
into the water.

Watched him go down.

- I didn't...

I tried to save him.

- Then you had a
fit of conscious.

Dragged him out again.

He had bruises the
size of grapefruit

all over his chest
where you tried

to beat the life back into him.

And when you couldn't

you were too much of a coward
to face up to what you'd done.

So you rolled him back into
the water, your own son.

I don't think you're
an evil man Mr. Jordan.

Just sometimes you can't
help yourself.

- I loved Alec!

I really loved him!

- I wish I could throw you
a lifeline but I can't.

He was precious wasn't he?

It's all you had.

You were a working man
with a genius son.

He played like an angel.

Like a bloody angel.

Do you think there's hope Peter?

- As long as there's
truth there's hope.

- Truth didn't help Alec did it?

It's the truth that killed him.

That and a fat hotheaded
policeman

trying to be like Steve McQueen.

- You can't blame yourself Andy.

You nailed Jordan after all.

- Justice was done aye?

Still me driving the
car wasn't it?

Bye lad.

- Let's go aye.

I think you need to lighten
up and go do what you do best.

- Yeah.

They're all married aren't they?

Let's go and have
a pint instead.

Where do you
want to go then, Black Dog?

No way.

They're all bourbon
and old farts in there.

Let's go somewhere
with a bit of life,

where there's some youngsters.

You'll only
get wound up.

Be a laugher
won't it?
