CONVERSATION IN PAKISTANI

SIRENS

CONVERSATION CONTINUES

It's the police !

Excuse me, please !

We're laying new drains. I think
it's covered in polythene.

So, she consented to sex with you ?

She was begging for it, man !

If she was willing, why did you use
violence ?

You know how these t'ings happen.

Some of them white t'ing, them like
it rough, you know !

Jesus, Frank, what is it with you
and red lights ?

Have the Pakis murdered someone ?

Nobody talk to him like that ! We
live here, not you !

Are you in charge ?

Then, please, take it away.

No, now ! I pay my poll tax.

It's a suspicious death, sir. Now,
please, go with this officer.

I've just got to ask a few questions

How did you know that this girl
wanted it "rough" ?

I knew. The way she look.

Well, how did she look ?

She had blonde hair,...

..and she was wearing a red blouse.

And a tight, tight, black skirt, like
for you.

So she didn't actually say anything
to encourage you ?

But then you did ram her tights down
her throat.

It's the doctor's reports and
forensic evidence !

How many other women have you
attacked ? How long before you kill
someone ?

Kernan ! If that is my Simone that's
in there...

Nola, I've just arrived. Give me a
chance.

We won't be issuing any statements
tonight.

You should all just go home !

You never tried to find my daughter!
If she's in that garden...

If it's my Simone, you can't stop us
from going in !

Cordon it off properly. If it is
Simone, we've got problems.

Are forensics here yet ?

Yeah, they're waiting for you, guv.

Were the slabs there when you bought
the house ?

Of course, yes.

You haven't done any work yourself ?

Thank you.

Down here, sir !
Right. Let's take a dekko.

Look 'pon her now.

She love it. Cock teaser, innit ?

What she say I did to that bitch just
turn her on.

Sit down, please, Robert.

The thought of a woman being
humiliated doesn't turn me on.

Someone being frightened half to
death.

But that turns you on, doesn't it ?

It must do. Why else force yourself
on someone ?

You're a very attractive man.

How tall are you ?

Really ? I'm sure a lot of women
fall for you. But not this one.

So she said no to you ?

That's not begging for it.

Now let me ask you this.

Unfortunately, we'll have to, since
it's well after six.

Unbelievable !

Excellent, but just one word of
warning.

Some of DCI Tennison's more
unconventional questions might get
you into difficulties.

Remember, under PACE, no attempt may
be made to bully or threaten a
suspect.

Finally, well done DS Oswalde, for
playing his part so convincingly.

Finally, tomorrow's 10.00am session
is on interviewing victims of rape.

You're too good at that, Detective
Sergeant.

T'ank you, ma'am.

Are you having a drink later on ?

Might see you, then.

Looks like it's a female, Oscar.

Oh, yes ? What makes you say that, Mr
Gold ?

It's wearing a bra.

Oh, God. That's all we need.

Tony, take over till Tennison gets
here.

But she's still on that course.

Not any more she's not.

Oh, great.

Already ?

Yeah. What was it you said about
white women liking it rough ?

Hey, I don't think like that !

Oh, I know, I'm sorry.

Hey !

Know what I'd like to do now ?

What ?

I just feel like it.

Champagne.

Right.

PHONE RINGS

God ! That's Dame Sybil.

Don't make a sound.

Hello ?

Hello, guv.

About two hours. Why ?

Right.

Okay.

Okay. See you. Bye.

What's wrong ?

Now.

To head a murder inquiry.

I'll have to tell Thorndike. Damn,
it's my lecture tomorrow.

Sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

What's your problem, then ?

I see.

Bob, I'm not saying I don't want to
see you again.

C'mon, this is hard enough as it is.

Okay. The Det Chief Inspector has
given her orders.

It's not like your true love is
walking out.

I don't like being treated like some
black stud.

Is that what you think's going on ?

Well, that's in your head.

Is it ?

I think you'd better go.

Don't worry. I'm going.

I hope I can rely on you to be
discreet.

You really are something else, aren't
you ?

(Bitch.)

I know nothing about rape victims.

That's why only 8% of rapes get
reported. They're my notes.

What can I do, David ?

Why ?

The body was found in Honeyford Road
where the Cameron family still live.
It could be Simone Cameron.

Politically sensitive, certainly.

A word of advice.

Charges may be brought against the
officers in the Derrick Cameron
case,...

..if it goes to the Court of Appeal.

Quite right too, if that boy was
fitted up.

What are you getting at ?

Be careful - this may not turn out
to be such a prize for you.

Obviously, you're a liberated woman.

But don't be too trusting of our
Afro-Caribbean friend.

That's your advice, is it ?

Good luck tomorrow.

Oh, and drive carefully if you've
been drinking.

Okay, ma'am.

Nola !

Go on home !

Not if it's my Simone. I don't want
to lose her a second time.

Cotton disintegrates and forms part
of the diet of the early inhabitants
of the corpse.

But wool, like hair, can be very
resilient.

How old do you think she is, Oscar ?

How long before a corpse gets like
this ?

Two years ? Don't quote me on it.

So it could be Simone.

You see, you're doing it already.

When were these slabs laid ?

Before the Viswandhas came here.
About 18 months ago.

Have the slabs been disturbed since?

Not according to the workmen, no.

Our prime suspect has to be whoever
lived here when she was buried. We
need a definite date of death.

Is there any of that soup left ?

The rest of you go home. I'll aim to
have our briefing at 10.00am.

Right, guv.

Can you get a shot of that for me ?

Hands tied together at the back
with...

..a leather belt.

Just a minute, madam.

My daughter, Simone ! Simone !

It's all right.

Simone !

It was all arranged weeks ago.

I can't back out, but it'll be a
nightmare.

I want you to be there. Community
centre, starts at eight.

No thanks, I'm trying to give up.

Christ ! Since when ?

Six days, five hours, and... about
fifteen minutes.

The meeting is about community
policing,...

..but we'll be dragged through the
shit about the Cameron family.

Phelps will be there. He can smell
a vote-winner for miles.

Nola may be wrong, but we can't
claim to have done well by her
family.

Not if Derrick was fitted up.

I won't get anything from Bream till
tomorrow.

Yep ?

Yes, I'll hold.

If we could find out before tonight,
our lives would be a lot easier.

And I want that garden dug up for
any more bodies.

Sir.

That's right.

I thought she was the best person
for the job. It requires tact and -

I'm sure she'll be able to cope.

I will do.

Goodbye.

Now, how in hell does the commander
know what happened on your course
already ?

What do you mean ?

That I brought you back to lead this
inquiry.

One guess, and it involves funny
handshakes.

Thorndike ? Same lodge ?

I'd put my money on it.

I'll do my best, sir.

We need a name for this operation.
Where are we up to in the A to Z ?

Find the first "N" then, would you ?

No way, I am not opening a book.

Last time I was £75 out of pocket!

Right, as some of you are aware,
workmen digging in the back garden
of 15 Honeyford Road,...

..have uncovered skeletonised human
remains.

The body was wrapped in polythene,
so it's definitely suspicious.

Some of you know that there's
speculation going on...

..that it could be Simone Cameron
who went missing a few years ago.

Put that up, Jonesy.

Her mother Nola, who still lives
near number 15, is convinced that it
is.

I'll get the pathologists to answer
that as soon as possible.

But in the meantime, we've got to
take Nola Cameron's fears seriously.

Unfortunately, the Cameron family
have been the centre of attention
for some time now.

The eldest boy, Derrick Cameron, was
accused of stabbing a white youth to
death.

He was sent to prison on the basis
of a confession made here in 1985.

Now there are doubts cast on the
safety of that conviction.

A campaign by Jonathan Phelps,
Labour's by-election candidate,...

..to bring Derrick's case before the
Court of Appeal, is gaining support.

There's a lot of anger against the
police.

We can rule out the present owners.

So find out about the former
residents of number 15.

Passports at the ready !

I don't want the Camerons, not even
the uncles and aunts, interviewed at
all.

As for other residents, if we go in
there expecting aggro, well, we'll
get it.

Easy does it ! You're all graduates
of the Rank Charm School, right ?

I want a list of former residents
for the last ten years.

Ten years ?!

DS Haskons is our office manager.

Tony, have you got a name for us ?

Nadine, very nice. So it's Operation
Nadine.

ALL: # Nadine, is it you ? #

Okay ! Come on, let's go. Jonesy !

Go on, love. Run along.

I'll get all this stuff bagged up
for you as soon as possible, so you
can get Mrs Cameron to look at it.

Pullover remains.

Bra.

Label from her jeans.

Pants.

Trainers.

And so on. Not very helpful.

I've got a pair of those.

Looks like a piece of skull. Send it
over to Bream.

But we have found several coins, the
most recent of which is 1986.

And the belt that secured her hands.
Very distinctive buckle.

Could have belonged to her.

Or the killer.

DOORBELL

Good morning. DC Lillie, local CID.

We're investigating a suspicious
death in this area.

Excuse me.

Jesus Christ, here we go.

Shut your mouth !

Now calm down ! Calm down ! Relax !

What about the property developer ?

Jane, a word.

Yeah, in a minute, guv.

My office. Now !

Kernan the Barbarian !

Burkin has just arrested a young
black lad for possession.

He's doing his house-to-house,
smells a spliff and barges in !

I don't believe it.

We've got a reception full of people
bleating on about...

..civil liberties, and police
harassment !

With this bloody meeting, I just
don't believe it !

We can't. I'm up for promotion.

Promotion ?

Chief Super. I can't afford to do my
dirty washing in public. My
interview'd be a nightmare.

I hope you'll be recommending me for
your post ?

Don't take too much for granted.

Get this boy cautioned, and tear
Burkin up for arse paper !

Guv, he was blatant, almost blowing
the smoke in my face.

But what with the Cameron case -

Cameron deserves to be banged up !

Frank !

Our reputation's down the toilet !

I ain't so keen on them. One less on
the streets isn't no loss.

Why don't they go home ?

That's enough, Frank! Just shut it!

An outburst like that again, it'll
be a disciplinary matter.

Then perhaps you better take me off
the case.

You'll be off the Force, Frank.

If you think fitting someone up cos
they're black is okay, you shouldn't
be Old Bill.

PHONE RINGS

Yeah. I'll be right there.

Jesus, this is a murder
investigation !

A young girl buried in the yard like
the family cat, her skull smashed to
pieces.

What difference does her skin colour
make ?

I want that boy cautioned and
released, and then get back to work.

This way, Nola.

Look at these things, and tell me if
any of them belonged to Simone.

They are all her things.

Nola. Take your time. Look at them
carefully.

Yes. These are her things.

We found this belt buried with her.
Do you recognise that ?

Yes. This is her belt. She always
wore this belt.

I see.

And what about this watch ?

That is hers.

I bought her this watch !

Do you want to sit down, would you
like a cup of tea ?

The experts will know more soon.

Your dentist supplied Simone's
records.

We'll compare those, and then we'll
know exactly for sure.

Until then, these are all we have
got to go on.

Are you sure you recognise all of
them ?

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes.

Thank you very much.

Gold reckons Nadine's body was
infested with maggots. Bluebottles.

They don't lay eggs underground.

So she was above ground before she
was buried ?

And she must have been killed in the
summer, because that's when the
flies are active.

And Simone went missing in February.

So when I go into this meeting
tonight, I'm none the bloody wiser.

I want Derrick's case to reach the
Court of Appeal,...

..so that someone who has been
wrongly imprisoned is released.

Bringing in stricter safeguards for
the interrogating of suspects is no
help to Derrick Cameron.

If that means a no-go area...

CACOPHONY OF VOICES

If that means a no-go area, then...

With respect -

We don't want to create no-go areas.

We've heard your Community Liaison
Officer, who is, of course, a white
police officer,...

That's a racist remark !

..about sensitive policing. Yet
still, local people are being treated
as second-class citizens.

If you mean our current
investigation, then it is being
carried out -

In a hostile...

..a hostile and intimidatory manner.

With violent arrests being made,
though no charges were brought.

One of my officers was provoked into
making an action which can be
seen as being hasty.

Look, there's a murderer out there
walking free.

We have to find that person. And we
need the help of this community.

Afterwards, my colleagues will be
staying behind,...

..in the hope you can give us some
crucial information.

Who was staying at 15 Honeyford Rd
before the Viswandhas ?

Please, Mrs Cameron...

What was his name ? Somebody !

I would like to ask Mr Kernan about
the heavy police presence in the
Honeyford Road area.

I'd like to ask him how he's got the
front to come here...

..when Derrick Cameron's banged up
for something he didn't do !

Let him answer !

I cannot discuss the details of that
case, but my presence here is
indication of good faith.

JEERING

The anger and unhappiness at what has
happened to Derrick Cameron...

..cannot be dismissed by a police
officer of Southampton Row.

I'm not dismissing -

Is it possible to expect justice in
this country...

..if you are a person of colour ?

CHEERING AND STAMPING

Allen. A-L-L-E-N.

Listen, I don't like the police.

Thank you.

White guy about 50. Worked as a
builder.

Can you give me his name, sir ?

We argued about parking space.

And in the morning all my car was
covered in brake fluid.

But don't worry, I got my own back.

Go on, then, tell me.

I pissed in his petrol tank !

Dave Hardy, or Hartley ? Something
like that.

Family called Allen lived at No.13.
They might have owned No.17 as well.

Esme Allen still runs a West Indian
takeaway which is nearby.

Great. Give it another half an hour
here, and then call it a day.

My son study for his school exam, my
daughter study law at university.

Them think the world's at them feet.
They'll never scrub floor !

Let's hope they don't come down to
earth with a bump !

Yes, dear ?

I'm DCI Jane Tennison.

It's not bad news ? Has someone been
hurt ? Sarah ? Tony ?

It's okay. We're just making some
inquiries.

You gave me a fright ! Is it about
that poor Cameron girl ?

Is there somewhere more private ?

Go downstairs. I'll look after the
shop.

All right. Come this way.

In the '80s, you and your husband
used to own No.15 Honeyford Road.

Yes, that's right.

But you lived at No.17 with your
family.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but a
body has been found buried in the
back garden of No.15.

My God.

So we're very anxious to trace the
former occupant.

We just want to eliminate him from
our inquiries. What was his name ?

David Harvey.

And do you have any idea where he
lives now ?

No. My husband might know, but...

We tried not to have anything to do
with him.

I wouldn't let my daughter near the
house.

We all knew what he was like,
particularly with young girls.

He wasn't always, but after his wife
died...

I thought they were a lovely couple,
but after she'd gone,...

..drinking and cursing and, you
know, carrying on.

I'd better speak to your family as
soon as possible.

Yes. We'll all be there this
evening.

It's Harvey - not Hardy or Harley.
H-A-R-V-E-Y.

We've got to start again. I'm going
to see Oscar Bream.

It's nice not being up to the armpits
in someone's viscera.

Though this girlie is taxing my
memory of anatomy classes.

There are 206 named bones of the
body. 26 to each foot for starters.

Luckily, most of those were still
inside her plimsolls.

Fascinating, Oscar, but is it Simone
Cameron ?

Absolutely not.

What ?

As I said,...

..like Simone, in her teens, 15 to
16, but taller.

Simone was 5'7". This girl is 5'8",
5'9".

It looks as if she was all there, no
mutilation. Good head of hair.

Luckily, Paul here likes jigsaws.

Bit of the zygomatic arch ?

Are you sure that it's not Simone ?

Yeah.

Shall I point out the differences ?

Fractured her wrist when she was
young. Fell off her bike ?

That's for you to discover.

Don't rub it in.

Do you know if she's black or white?

I've been going up a dead end.

We can do jiggery-pokery with the
skull to ascertain ethnic origins.

We have a medical artist who could
make you a clay head at a price.

Is he good ?

Yeah, but is he good ?

That's expensive, right ?

No, sod it. Let's do it.

How long before I get it ?

Three weeks ?

I'll pick it up in three days.

I'll talk to him. Perhaps if you were
to model nude ?

That's sexual harassment.

What isn't these days ?

How did she die, Oscar ?

No idea.

The skull could have been smashed
after death.

She could have been buried alive.

DA Harvey.

No, Harvey. That's H-A-R-V-E-Y.

When can you confirm it ?

Yeah, it's just I'm trying...

I'm gonna do some myself.

Have you got anything for me ?

But we've got more stuff from No.15.
Jonesy's getting it.

Let's hope it's good, then.

Right, listen up. I've just come
from Oscar Bream at the path lab.

It's definitely not Simone Cameron.

So, we operate on two fronts: find
David Harvey and identify "Nadine".

Bottle of Scotch for whoever gets
David Harvey.

Guv. They found a plastic bag buried
as well.

Gold has definitely linked it to the
girl. It contained this.

The cloth is West African. Several
yards of it.

And those ivory bracelets are
Nigerian.

Yoruba amulets - to ward off evil
spirits. Didn't work for "Nadine".

They're very old and very valuable.

May I talk to Esme, your mum ?

Yes, please wait here.

Mum, someone's at the door for you.

Hello, it's Jane Tennison.

Yes, come in.

This way.

This is my son Tony.

Hello, Tony.

Tony and his girlfriend are doing
the decent thing.

Their daughter is the bridesmaid.
Lord, how times have changed !

You wanted to see my husband ?

Yes. Thank you.

So when's the happy day, Tony ?

Uh...

Yes, I do.

I think that's lovely.

Tony, just a minute. Could you have
a look at this for me, please ?

It's a description of the dead girl.

Do you remember seeing her in this
area in the mid-eighties ?

I'm a bridesmaid.

You are, aren't you ?!

Have you ever been a bridesmaid ?

No.

Come along, baby. Say bye-bye.
Bye.

Wedding boy !

What can I do for you ?

You don't know where David Aloysius
Harvey is now ?

You bought this property in 1989.

And Mr Harvey obviously moved in
shortly afterwards.

After she died, he let things go.

Then you sold the property in 1989
with Mr Harvey as a sitting tenant.

Did that lead to any bad feeling ?

Some.

Not much.

The problem was that he was very
erratic in paying the rent.

Sometimes he had money, sometimes
not.

And you had a set of keys to No.15 ?

Yes.

Did you do anything to the garden as
the owner ?

I didn't want him to, but he did
very much as he pleased.

And when were those slabs laid ?

I'd say... 1986, '87 ?

It's almost certain that body was
buried before the slabs went down.

Yes.

I can see that.

Mr Allen, how can you afford two
properties with your pay ?

Esme's cafe has always done well.

It was her money that paid the
second mortgage.

And your son's at public school ?

When will you learn, Pop ?

Black people don't own businesses,
houses, get an education...

Now, there's no need to be rude.

I agree.

Sarah, you're the law student.
And you're 20.

So that means in the summer of, say,
1986, you would have been...

Um...

Not particularly, no.

It's my son David who's the wizard
at maths.

Did you ever see anyone like this in
the vicinity of Honeyford Road ?

Yes, of course. Simone Cameron.

No, it's not Simone. We're sure of
that. Please look at the description

If it's not Simone, you'll need to
be a bit more specific.

That's if you can be bothered.

Well, the police aren't exactly
noted for their enthusiasm...

..in solving cases when the victim
is black.

Was she black ? It doesn't say so.

Maybe it's you who's jumping to
conclusions.

When's the happy day, Tony ?

Two weeks away now.

Well, I'll see you before then.
Thanks for your help.

Bye-bye. Thank you.

Take care.

Got anything on David Harvey yet ?

We've tried the electoral roll, NHS,
DSS, rates...

I've just finished working my way
through the phone book.

Vernon said he was erratic on paying
his rent. Did you check credit
reference agencies ?

No.

Yes !

Well done, boss.

Mrs Eileen Reynolds.

Got a pen ?

Fancy a drink?

I should go home, really.

Right, the twins. Off you go.

Night.

Night, Richard.

(Got you ! Got you.)

They've done the tests on the skull.

"Nadine" was of mixed race, West
African and probably English.

Let's see what David Harvey's got to
say.

Jesus, I hope the lift's working.

You know, you ought to give up
smoking cigarettes.

Makes you feel a whole lot better.
Ah, here we are.

There's nothing worse than a
born-again nonsmoker.

David Harvey ?

Yes.

We're police officers. Can we have a
word with you, please?

So why did you move away, Mr Harvey
?

Afterwards, I came here to be closer
to Eileen, my sister.

I didn't want to live there anyway,
not after my wife died.

I only stayed on because a big darky
wanted rid of me so badly.

I should never have moved here.

Lift's always on the blink, the
place is full of junkies and pimps.

That's her. That's the wife.

She was the gardener. Lovely garden
when she was alive.

I tried to keep it going after...

Oh, well. You know.

In the end, I paved it over.

I can tell you exactly when as well.

I hired some stonecutting equipment.

Ah.

There you go.

Last week in August.

It was during all that week that I
did the digging.

Took up the grass, levelled it all
off.

I'd laid about half the slabs by the
Saturday,...

..stayed with Eileen Sunday, stayed
till the Monday.

And Eileen lives locally ?

Anyway, when I got home on the
Monday...

..I finished laying the rest of the
slabs and cemented them in.

So, the only time the house was left
unattended was...

..that must have been on Sunday the
31st of August.

That's right.

Notice anything unusual when you got
back ?

No-one else had been digging in the
garden ?

No.

If someone asked me what I was doing
in August 1986, I don't think
I could remember.

How can you recollect so clearly ?

Because my wife died on that day the
year before.

Oh, I see.

Eileen asked me down to stay with
her so I wouldn't be on my own.

Oh, that'll be my lunch.

I always spend that weekend with her

Couldn't manage without her. She
always sends my food over.

It's not her. This is my nephew,
Jason.

What's going on ?

You're sure you don't recognise her?

What do you want with my uncle ?

But you know he's not very well ?

What's all this about ?

Your uncle will tell you after we've
gone. Thank you very much, Mr Harvey

Lying bastard. He'd learnt his alibi
by heart !

And if he could lay those slabs, he
could smash a young girl's skull.

Better get a move on, before he dies
on us.

Where's DCI Tennison ?

Okay.

Can I have your attention, please ?

This is Det Sgt Bob Oswalde.

Bob's joined us from West End Lane
to assist on Operation Nadine.

Where's the medical artist studio ?

First on the left.

Hello.

I'm DCI Tennison. I believe you're
making a clay head for me ?

It may not look like much at the
moment, but I have high hopes.

Most beautiful skull I've ever seen.

Oh, yes. See this ?

The orbicularis oris. The muscle
overlays the maxilla and mandible, on
the eminences due to the teeth.

Its fibres surround the oral
aperture. Function: closing of the
mouth and pursing of the lips.

I'm a scientist. Otherwise, I'd say
it's the muscle that allows you to
kiss someone.

When will she be ready ?

By the end of the week.

Hang on, hang on, why me ?

Bob needs a desk.

You only drink coffee at your desk.

Cos I'm out making sure the streets
are safe to walk !

Bad enough policing them, let alone
working with them.

No, he ain't !

Can you shut up and get on with some
work ?!

Tony, can I have a word, please ?

Yes, guv ?

What's Bob Oswalde doing here ?

Answer the question, Tony.

He's part of the team. Kernan
brought him in.

Thank you.

Jane.

Thank you, Sharon.

You co-opted someone onto my team
without telling me.

It seemed to me that a black officer
would be... a useful addition.

Why didn't you consult with me ?

The Community Liaison Officer
thought it was an excellent idea.
An antidote to Burkin.

You mean you can't use an extra man
?

He wasn't in the original team. I
ask him to do something, it can be
misinterpreted.

It smacks of tokenism, political
manoeuvring.

You should have asked me. Pulling
rank undermines me.

Oh, bollocks !

Sir.

You can't work with the man ?

Yes, I can work with him.

Nothing. We just didn't get on well
on the course.

I don't want you to marry him !

I've made my decision and I'm not
going back on it.

Get the man briefed and put him to
work !

We'll review the situation at the
end of the week.

I'll be watching the progress of
this case very carefully from now on

This isn't a coincidence.

No. How many black detectives did he
have to choose from ?

It's nothing to do with me. I
wouldn't ask to be the token black.

Don't think what happened on the
course gives you any privileges.

Don't you dare tell anyone.

Give me some credit.

What happened, happened. It's gone.
Let's not give it another thought.

Yes.

Right. I'll see you in the incident
room. I'll be along in a minute.

We could have the clay head tomorrow

So, after talking to Harvey, let's
concentrate on Sun 31st August 1986.

Yeah, his sister Eileen.

But we need a name, to build up
"Nadine's" life story. Then we can
connect her to Harvey.

A couple of statements talk about a
girl staying in the basement.

Really ?

Bob, you start on missing persons.

Tony, speak to Harvey's consultant.
Check he's not just a good actor.

Nice one. The boss is keeping our
coloured friend in his place.

Guv. Can I put someone else on
mispers ?

Why ?

Ma'am, a man of his experience -

No. He might find something a more
junior man might miss.

Don't call me ma'am.

Of course I'm sure !

Every year since Jeanie died. He
wouldn't have left till Monday.

He's a sick man. You shouldn't hound
him.

You'll be the bloody death of him.

We're trying to eliminate him.

You wouldn't hound him like this if
he was a black man !

A body was found in his garden.

Rubbish ! Simone Cameron this,
Simone Cameron that ! Was it Simone?

No.

Is that all for now ?

Don't pull me about !

Well, he's in the hospital tomorrow,
thanks to you !

Mum.

You said you and Mr Harvey fell out
because he wouldn't move.

Is there nothing else ?

What ? No.

Didn't he sublet the basement ?

That had nothing to do with me.

And what was she doing ?

I don't know, it was none of my
business !

It was if she was a prostitute,
Vernon.

Why ?

What word would you use ?

I was at work all hours. Esme was
too.

A neighbour told us men were calling
there. I spoke to Harvey, but I had
no proof.

Then, suddenly the...

..girl...

..seemed to have gone.

Yes.

Listen.

My family are very upset.

It is an important time for us.

A wedding should be a time of joy.

I have cooperated with you in every
way so far.

Then answer the question.

Did she answer to that description ?

Not just light-skinned ?

Can you describe her, please ?

Small,...

..perhaps 5'2".

A tiny thing, really.

Blonde hair - bleached, I'd say.

Young, but not the girl you
described.

Did you have sexual relations with
her ?

And what was the relationship
between Harvey and this girl ?

I wouldn't put anything past him.

When did all this happen, Vernon ?

It could have been the summer you've
been talking about.

The Viswandhas' brief's been bending
my ear.

Forensic are still lifting up
carpets, floorboards...

So ?

Let's get them out of there as soon
as possible.

Of course.

Let's see it, then.

Very nice.

I want these photos to appear in
local and national press.

Show anyone who might be able to
help. Let's get the Allens in.

Vernon Allen confirmed there was a
tom working from the basement.

His description doesn't fit "Nadine"
but maybe she was a tom as well.

Perhaps Harvey was a small-time
pimp.

He's in hospital tomorrow, so I
can't tackle him till the evening.

She doesn't look like a prostitute.

No.

Well.

Ask around anyway.

Vernon Allen has confirmed the
whereabouts of his family on
the 31st of August.

You know that reggae concert in
Honeyford Park, the last Sunday in
August ?

Vernon Allen says Esme's there every
year, with a West Indian food stall.

Tony Allen was also at the concert.
It's an all-day affair: 10am to
10pm.

Vernon stayed at home, with Sarah
and David.

Tony returned home at about 9pm so
that Vernon could go to work.

I checked Vernon's work records, and
he did a late shift Sunday to Monday

By the time Esme had packed up and
got home, it was about 10.45.

And she says that the three kids
were in bed.

I'd like these accounts verified.

Perhaps that's the link between
"Nadine" and Honeyford Road.

Sorry, what is ?
Reggae Sunsplash.

Yeah, go on.

Harvey could have met her there. Or
Tony Allen.

Perhaps the African cloth was a
costume.

She might have been performing.

That's a good point.

Frank, Gary, go first thing tomorrow
to the Sunsplash organisers.

See if they can point you towards
any bands using musicians or singers
wearing African gear.

Right. Any more bright thoughts ?

No ? All right, that's it, then.

Why are you doing this to me ?

What ?

Treating me like the office boy.

What are you talking about ?

You didn't want special tasks
because of your skin colour.

I don't. I want tasks commensurate
with my abilities and experience.

Continue overseeing mispers.

But I'd also like you to show the
Allens the clay head.

Watch their reactions.

Thank you.

No.

Are you sure, Vernon ?

Absolutely.

Esme ?

No, dear. I'd remember if I had.
What a beautiful child !

Tony ? What's wrong ?

Come, Tony. Sit down.

Calm down.

Don't fuss.

It's very hot in here. He suffers
from asthma.

I see.

Have you seen her before, Tony ?

No. I've never seen her.

You're certain ?

I'm certain.

Our prime suspect's dying. I won't
sit and watch.

You don't mean that.

I do if it means climbing these poxy
stairs.

She's someone's daughter.

Anything we get'll be thrown out of
court anyway.

# MUZAK: ABBA, 'Thank You For
The Music'

(COUGHS)

No.

I've never seen her before.

I did let out the basement room that
summer. I admit it.

Nothing wrong with that.

The big darky complained about
everything I did. He wanted me out.

So why did you let the room, David ?
Did you know the girl already ?

No, I've never seen her before.

It seemed a very big house just for
me, and I needed the money.

I put a card in the newsagent's.

What was her name ?

Tracy ?

Sharon ? I don't know.

Couple of months.

No, she'd gone by then.

Did you know she was a prostitute ?

Could she have been friends with
this girl ?

It's possible, I suppose.

Could she have used the flat when
you were at your sister's ?

As you say, I wasn't there.

Your dad remembers her. Bleached
blonde, about 5'2".

Well, I don't !

D'you like reggae, Tony ?

I do. Reggae, soul. Or jazz ?

What are you on about ? Just leave
me alone.

I don't remember any girl !

(COUGHS VIOLENTLY)

There you go, mate.

One last thing, David. Could we have
a photograph of you ?

Why ?

Will I get it back ?

Are you the photographer ?

Mmm. Very good.

Here.

Younger and fitter there, eh ?

Thanks. I'll get it copied and sent
back to you as soon as possible.

(COUGHS)

I'd remove that, David, that's not
very safe.

Thanks a lot.

You'd make a great Crime Prevention
Officer.

Night, guv. Hope you get something.

Thanks. See you tomorrow.

PULSATING MUSIC

I wouldn't if I were you, dear.

Hello.

Hi, Rachel. Fancy something to eat ?

Well, if he's a pimp, I've never
seen him before.

I'll ask about the blonde, but it's
not much to go on.

Maybe she was one of those sensible
ones that tried it for five minutes,
and decided it was no kind of life.

Someone might remember, cos most of
the girls doing that area are black.

This is a likeness of the dead girl.

Spooky !

No.

Never seen her before either.

Okay.

Do your best, okay ?

I always do (!)

See you around. Thanks.

"Jane. Remember, Friday's Emma's
first birthday. Don't forget to send
a card."

"If you're back by 10.30, you can
telephone me. Daddy sends his love."

Thanks, Daddy.

"Mike Kernan at 9.35. I was hoping
for an update."

"Any results from your clay head ?"

"It's my interview tomorrow, and
they'll ask me about Operation
Nadine."

"Particularly whether my DCI's come
in on budget."

"Ring me tonight if you can, or drop
by my office first thing. Bye."

MACHINE BEEPS

The organisers have given us the
names of bands with backing singers.

Let's tread carefully there, Jane.

How's Oswalde getting on ?

What ?

There.

How do I look ?

Like a Chief Superintendent.

Good.

I don't know nothin' about it.

Do you want to look at them, sir ?

DC Rosper, Southampton Row.

Look at them before you answer !

I can nick him for obstructing police
inquiries.

Let me take a look.

Your battyman want a word with you.

# Freedom... #

REGGAE BEAT

What did he call me ?

That'll be a big help !

Can't you talk to a black guy
without wanting to arrest him ?

That drummer might know something.
I'm going back.

Go on, but you're wasting your time.

Guv ?

Forensics found a fragment of our
girl's tooth between the floorboards
of No.15.

Joanne Fagunwa.

Mixed parentage, went missing in '85
from Birmingham.

Get it faxed. If it looks promising,
then go.

Will you check when Mrs Harvey died
?

Boss, can we go ?

Nice one, Bob.

Where's Dirty Harry ?

Oh, yeah, sorry about that, man.

Do you like reggae ?
Yeah - solid, guy.
Seen !

Cheers.

Peruse these at your leisure.

Wicked !

Cheers !

Vids from '86. Two bands used girl
backing singers.

Do I have what it takes, or what ?!

I'm not saying you killed her,
David, but what I am saying is that
she was killed in your house.

(BREATHES FITFULLY)

Are you all right, sir ?

Shit. Call an ambulance, Tony.

Don't move. Don't move.

Hello ? Can I have an ambulance ?

Jonesy, we're going to the hospital,
so you can contact us there, okay ?

We could lose this if Harvey croaks.

Right, come on.

Can I show you these photographs ?

Yes.

Do you recognise these amulets, Mrs
Fagunwa ?

Yes. They belonged to my husband's
family.

He gave them to Joanne.

I'm sorry to say they were found with
the remains of a young girl.

Can I show you a photograph of a clay
head we've had made ?

Yes.

Does that look like your daughter ?

Oh, yes.

It's very like her.

It's very clever.

I'm sorry.

How did she die ?

Well, we're not certain, but the
circumstances are suspicious.

Don't tell me she suffered.

Please, please, don't tell me that.

REGGAE

How's it going, Gary ?

I'm having a skanking good time !

Are you indeed ?

Her father died that year, you see

I don't know why she left home.

She had everything.

She even had her own pony. She had
everything.

Did Joanne have any accidents ?

No.

Usual cuts and bruises...

Oh, yes, she did. She broke her
wrist. She fell off her bike.

Anyway, she rejected it all.

She started having bits woven in her
hair. You know, beads.

Her hair isn't even black, more dark
brown with gold threads.

Almost blonde when she was little.

Her skin looks tanned more than
anything else.

She was such a pretty little girl.
We've got so many photographs.

I keep meaning to sort them out.

The police didn't treat her
disappearance seriously.

Just another girl going to London.
Loads of them do.

I saw a documentary. It isn't just
Joanne.

REGGAE MUSIC

Yes ! Yes ! Yes !

She always thought the best of
people.

Perhaps we protected her too much.

I don't know.

Have you got children ?

No, no.

Would you like a cup of coffee ?

That would be lovely.

Perhaps if ours hadn't been a mixed
marriage ?

Do you think that was the problem ?

Made her go off like that ?

That's right. And Bob Oswalde called
in with a positive ID.

Joanne Fagunwa. He's bringing Mum
in.

Turn it down, please !

He's a very ill man.

He has great difficulty breathing.
He needs complete rest.

Dr Lim, we have reason to believe he
was involved in the murder of a
17-year-old girl.

Whatever the conditions, we must see
him.

This I recognise.

It's my one and only attempt at
knitting.

Why her ?

Why her ?

Thank you for your kindness.

Do you think you'll find out how it
happened ? The person who did it ?

I'm sure we will.

I wonder,...

This may seem...

Could I buy the clay head when your
inquiries are over ? It's just
that...

Does that seem strange ?

No, no. I'll find out for you.

There's nothing else, is there ?

There's nothing to remind me of my
baby.

Okay. Take care.

Did the Allens have keys to Harvey's
house ?

I suppose they must have.

Where did Tony Allen go to school ?

Have you seen this, Bob ?

Is that the tape of Joanne ?

You should have a look. I think I'm
in love.

I remember him very well.

Bright lad. Did well in the fifth
form, going on to A level, sights
set on a college place.

But when he came back in September,
he was surly and introverted.

Tell me when he wakes up.

I spoke to him, the headmistress
spoke to him, I got Dad up. Nothing.

Ah, there we are. September '86.

I'm usually right. Educational
psychologist's report. Help
yourself.

I see Tony played in a band.

We did our best, but there was no
point in him staying.

The only person he related to was
his Sarah. He'd gone by Christmas.

I still see him in the supermarket.
Waste, really. Bright lad.

ENTRY PHONE

Hello ?

"Jane ?"

Who's this ?

"It's Bob Oswalde."

"Jane... I know this is a bit
unexpected,...

..but, I want to talk to you."

Can't it wait ? I'm expecting a call
from the hospital.

"No."

All right.

This had better be good.

I've seen this.

There.

There's a better shot in a moment.

There.

Is that Tony Allen ?

Tony Allen.

The Allens had keys to Harvey's -

Wait. Just because he's on the same
bandstand as Joanne -

This could be it. I'm expecting
Harvey to come round.

What's this ?

What have you got for tonight ?

One of those frozen chilli con carne
things.

DCI Tennison.

Where d'you think you're going ?

Oh, right. Good. She got a number ?
It's a call box, is it ?

Two, three. Got it.

Tell her I'll call straightaway.

It's not the hospital. It's a snout
of mine trying to get through to me.

What are you up to ?

Rachel. It's me. What you got for
me, darling ?

Bye.

What the hell do you think you're
doing ?

It's lettuce.

Well, it was, once.

You really need to eat some decent
food. What was the telephone call ?

The girl who was at No.15 jacked it
in, went legit.

No-one knows where she is, but
they're sure she's not on the game.

In 1986 he came back from holidays a
different person.

The psychologist's report talks of
low self-esteem.

What ?

Any tomato puree ?

How can I work in these conditions ?

You know they all want to see you
fall flat on your face.

So you want to be the best. Well, I'm
the same as you.

Which is why I understood why you'd
treated me like the office boy.

And why you've gone off on your own?
Bob, you are a member of a team.

Well, from now on you are.

Okay. You got anything to drink ?

So let's pick him up !

I know he's involved in the murder.

I saw him with the clay head.

We'll tackle him when the right time
comes.

I'm sure Harvey holds the key.

Except the bastard might croak any
time.

I shouldn't have come here.

That's not the point. All I'm trying
to say -

Look, don't bother.

Oh, hello, guv.

Sorry, what ?

He's regained consciousness. I'm
going to see him.

Get him anything he wants, so his
brief can't suggest you got his
statement unfairly.

Guv, apparently Harvey's wife died
in October '85, not August.

His sister's been lying.

Let's see what Harvey's got to say
about that.

Senior policemen are politicians
first and foremost, Jane.

Are we in ?

Good.

I don't want him upset. Any extra
pressure on his heart could be fatal

Hello, Tony.

You don't remember me ? Detective
Sergeant Oswalde.

I'm doing a bit of shopping, and
perhaps you could look at this.

Do you recognise her ? It's Joanne.

Why don't you just leave me alone ?

Cos you're telling lies. You knew
Joanne.

You were at Sunsplash together.
Better than that, you played in the
same band.

Remember her African costume ? Her
bracelets ?

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

I don't.

Don't you think it'd be a good idea
to talk to me, David ?

Get it off your chest ?

Why ?

David, we know that Joanne,...

..that was her name,...

..we know that Joanne was killed
inside your home.

A fragment of her tooth was found in
the house.

Doesn't mean I killed her.

Your wife didn't die in August, did
she ?

Jeanie died in October 1985.

What's the point in lying, David ?
Carrying all that guilt ?

You know you're a very ill man. If
you do tell me, nothing will happen
to you.

It'll never come to trial.

We'll just be able to clear this
whole thing up.

And most important of all, you'll
feel so much better.

Yo, Tony !

All right ?

What's wrong with you ? Why are you
doing this to me ?

Leave me alone !

Just leave me alone !

You know, I'm a Catholic too, David.

It's been a long time since my last
confession.

But the one thing I do remember is
that feeling of relief, you know ?

Great weight being lifted off your
shoulders.

I think we all want to believe in
something.

We'd like to think we could just
repent, make everything all right.

If only we could just turn the clock
back and make everything all right.

You're dying, David.

Why don't you just get it off your
chest ? Just tell me what happened.

No more lies. It's too late for
lies.

Come on, you can talk to me.

Can I ?

Of course. You can have your doctor
present, a solicitor, Jason, your
sister, anyone.

You know, I'm only 55 years old.

It's a joke.

I'm sure the doctors will do all
they can.

I'm very frightened.

Leave me alone !

Leave me alone !

Boss, he's here.

So, how is he ?

A little better. Your uncle wants to
talk.

Right.

I would ask for you to remain quiet
while I'm talking to him.

Let's go in.

Is Tony in ?

You know I am. You followed me home.

Can I come in, Tony ?

I don't have to answer questions.

Go back inside, love.

She says you either arrest me, or
stop harassing me !

I'm arresting you for the murder of
Joanne Fagunwa.

Where are you taking him?!

Phone my dad !

Do you wish to have a solicitor
present during this interview ?

No.

Water.

Calm down !

Easy ! A little interview and it'll
all be over.

Let me out !

KNOCKING

Anthony Allen.

Don't leave me alone in here !

PLEASE !!

I'll get the doctor. I don't think
he's fit to be detained !

He's all right.

Just let him stew for a bit.

I'm the Custody Sergeant. Don't try
to tell me my job, right ?!

You do not have to say anything
unless you wish,...

..but what you say may be given in
evidence.

Do you understand, David ?

Yes.
