The Five (UK) (2016) s01e01 Episode Script
Episode 1
I don't want to go.
Go home.
You know the way.
I don't want to go.
You'll be fine.
Trust me, just go.
You're too young to come, Jesse.
You won't even like it.
Jesse: Mark! Just go! We'll see you later.
Come on, Mark.
Go! Dad, my pocket money! Money, money, money It's all you think about.
I thought you might like this.
Thanks Dad.
Thanks I'm good, but thanks.
Come on, sit down.
Stop it! Come on! - Morning! - What do we got? Dead woman's bag was found in a hotel room.
No wallet and no phone, so no ID.
Didn't she check in? Was checked in under the name of Ben Jackinoff.
So I think it's fair to say that's a pseudonym.
No details yet but I've got something to show you.
- Potential murder weapon? - Alright, I'll check that in a bit.
- We got a description of a man? - Fairly general.
Well how was it paid for? Didn't the hotel take a credit card swipe? Cash and there is only CCTV on the outside of the building.
But the manager did offer us something useful.
He recalls the woman going outside to take a mobile phone call.
And it's time coded so we can trace it.
Yeah but without knowing what network she was on, how long is that gonna take? Right now it's all I've got.
Alright, put in an aircomms request with all the main providers.
I want a name and address as soon as possible.
If you want my opinion, from the blood on the back of the door the attack looks like it started when she came out of the bathroom.
Ally, you be the victim.
- Why me? - Because you're Alright, you be the victim.
Go on, get in touch with your female side.
She should probably have a leak in the bathroom.
You don't have to do that part.
When she comes out she gets a blow to the back of her head.
Now it's bad but doesn't kill her.
She goes on the bed.
Now she's probably out cold when the attacker comes at her again.
Are you enjoying this? Now, the attacker is covered in blood.
The traces we found in the bathroom, I reckon he took time to wash before making his or her - equally - exit.
Where are you going? I've just bludgeoned you to death.
Mark! Happy birthday! I was just out for a run, so I, erm, I thought I'd surprise you.
- Right.
- Life lesson there, isn't here? Should never turn up unannounced.
I saw him leave.
So what was Kenton doing here? Did he stay the night? Laura, can you talk to me please? Is there any point in lying? Why would you do that? He's my husband.
You said it was over Yeah, it was.
Was? Past tense wow Oh my God! Who cheats on their lover with their husband? I have to go to work.
That's all you've got to say? - Do you want me to lose my job? - No, I don't want you to lose your job.
I just want you to tell me the last few months have meant something to you.
You said it was over between you two, Laura, finished.
You told me you wanted something different.
Nice ass, Britny.
Britnay! "Nice ass, Britnay!" Brit! Psychopath then, is it? Being bludgeoned to death with hammer, I think we can rule out manslaughter.
Shame, really.
She's quite hot.
Yeah, that makes it so much worse! Forensics report, from Ken.
With the DNA results from the plaster found at the scene.
The ones I asked for half an hour ago.
Erm, we were training, Danny.
That shit is sacrosanct.
Yeah well, as long as your abs are ripped.
Don't wish for it, my friend.
Work for it.
Hello, Birthday boy! Alright mate? - Happy birthday.
- Thanks.
You alright? Got you a gift.
It's still in the shop.
Oh man that's perfect! 'Coz I can just collect it when I get yours next month.
No Laura? No, no, she had a work-thing and couldn't shift things around.
Couldn't shift things around? I'm not 6, Slade.
I'm only doing this for my mum.
Have you heard from Danny? No, has he not called? Maybe he couldn't shift things around.
Hello, I'd just like to say a few words.
You know it's a celebratory moment for a father when you look at your son, your baby, and you realize that he's reached the age where he can no longer call himself young.
Because if he is becoming an old fart, then where does that make me? A gravedodger? So I'd like you all please, to raise a glass.
- Ignore his crows-feet and his receding hairline.
- Thanks mate.
And wish a happy birthday, to my little boy.
To Mark.
Happy Birthday! Sorry, sorry I wanted to say something too.
As you all know, we've had some difficult times in the past.
I have two sons.
Mark and Jesse.
Hey mom But only one of them is here every year on his birthday.
Alright, Julie.
- Happy birthday, son! - Happy birthday! Cheers! Sorry Don't be sorry.
Are you OK? I love you.
Me too.
Mom, I'm just gonna go say 'hi' to Danny, okay? Two secs.
i/ Hey man, you OK? - Yeah, I'm sorry I'm late.
- It's alright mate.
Yeah listen, I need to talk to you about something.
Alright then.
What is it? It is a There's a case I'm working on.
It's a murder.
And we've found something at the scene.
What? It's blood but it's not the victim's.
We ran some DNA tests and there's a match.
Mark, it's Jesse.
The DNA, it's Jesse.
He's alive.
- So you're saying he's a murderer? - No, nobody is saying anything.
20 years, 20 years, what the hell! I don't know.
Nobody knows.
So his DNA is at a murder scene and he's not the victim, so what does that leave? Is he a witness or is he just someone who happens to be there? I'm gonna double-check the results.
I'm gonna triple check them, okay? There's a possibility that the DNA is old.
20 years! I'm saying it's possible, okay? He may not have been there.
Mark, just think about it.
It's Jesse! - I know.
- It means he's alive, yeah? Yeah I know, you're right.
I know, I know It's what we always wanted, isn't it? Oh man, it doesn't make any sense to me.
What am I gonna tell my Mum, Dad? Nothing, not yet, okay? Look, I shouldn't even be talking to you guys.
I could get fired.
Sorry.
This thing could end up being public.
I mean it's the sort of thing the papers have been all over.
Yeah well, if it comes to that we'll let them know.
But don't you think there's someone else we should tell? Someone who was with us that day.
Pru? Come on.
Dad, I wanna ask you something.
Do you remember him? This is Jesse, Dad.
You remember he went missing as a young boy? It's a case you worked on when you were a copper.
Jesse, Alan's boy.
He's back, Dad.
Jesse's come back.
Leave her! Dad? Look at him.
- Take his face away from me, please.
- Dad, he didn't do it.
He admitted to it.
And you believe that? Dad I know he wrote you letters.
- I destroyed them, they gave me the creeps.
- All of them? - Yes.
What about mom? Did she keep any of them? You know what? You're gonna have to ask her that.
What is all this, Mark? It was 20 years ago.
Why are you bringing all this up again? Here we are, one chicken curry and one lamb tagine, sir.
Enjoy it.
- Disgusted or not you must have read them.
- Yes, of course I read them.
- And? Well you know he wanted us to meet him.
Wanted us to a to talk.
- But of course we wouldn't entertain the idea.
- Why not? 'Coz he killed your brother.
OK, he admitted it but there was never any evidence.
Oh, Mark, come on.
He was seen in the area the night Jesse went missing.
- He killed 4 other children.
- No, no.
His other victims was older.
It's a different MO.
- He admitted it, Mark.
- Tell me then why does everyone keep on talking like he's suddenly gonna turn up one day Because of your mother.
Why do you think we don't live together anymore? Because she can't move on.
Now look, he is dead, Mark.
Jesse is dead.
And this is ? We have to do a 100.
Every hour, on, the hour.
I need you to double-check these forensic results.
Why, what's the problem? The problem is they don't make any sense.
Can you stop that? We've had a DNA hit from the Missing person database.
- From a kid that went missing in 1995.
- What? Yeah, so how about you you stop pressing with your boyfriend and check it again? Thanks.
Is that Pru? Yep, under her married name.
Pru Carew.
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
Oh, to think she could have been Mrs.
Mark Wells married to a hot-shot lawyer.
And we're back in the playground.
No look now, she she is back.
She's working at the Windsor Lockwood Clinic.
Why would she come back without telling us? If we're gonna start unraveling the mysteries of female logic, we're gonna need stronger drinks.
The question is, knowing what we know about Jesse do you want to see her? - Yeah, I guess.
- Good! I messaged her, she said tomorrow's fine.
Danny! - Slade! - Hey darlin'.
Hey Pru.
Mark, hey.
So amazing to see you again.
God, how long has it been? - 16 years.
- No that can't be.
You're looking great, really.
So are you.
And I know I am.
- Not a day older older, apart from from the grays.
- What? That's big news.
Are you OK? Oh, uh, fine, yeah.
You know, it's a shock.
Hell of a shock.
We're working to find out more.
Well Danny felt and we all felt that since you were there that day, you know, you had a.
you had a right to know.
Well I thought about it a lot.
Every year on that day.
I always remember the date, every year.
So, when did you get back from the States? 2 years ago.
2 years? I know, I know.
I should've contacted you all.
But you know how it is, it's just work and I married an American.
Stuart's a workaholic.
And, well, I've got a little girl now, Nico, she's nearly 6.
Ah, she's cute.
I have 3 myself.
Which is at least one too many.
I kept meaning to, I kept putting it off.
And then one month turned into 6.
I don't know, I don't know You don't have to explain anything to us.
We're big boys, aren't we? Here we are.
It's happened.
The 4 of us.
Grown up.
And Slade running a shelter.
How did that happen? Says the doctor Private doctor, actually, so My socialism has gone out the window.
Blame the Americans.
Well, assuage your conscience.
Come and visit.
See how we do things.
I might enlist your services.
I'd like that.
Good.
- We should all keep in touch.
- Definitely.
Mark, pay me more attention.
Mark! This is the last time that you see me.
I wanna go to Marosi.
Are you out of your mind? I want to look him in the eye and I just wanna ask him some questions.
I really dont't think that's a good idea.
He said that he killed Jesse.
So I just wanna meet him.
And either you gonna help me out or I'm gonna have to sort this myself.
Hello, Mr.
Wells.
I want to talk about my brother.
I killed him.
I chose him, I took him and I killed him.
Three acts, simple.
I don't believe you.
They found the bodies of the other 4 boys that you killed, but not my brother.
Why not? I burnt it.
Why would you do that? Because he was younger.
And what I did to him was disgusting.
I like young boys.
And I liked Jesse.
A lot.
You're already facing life for the other 4 boys that you killed.
So you took the rep for Jesse in order to secure yourself privileges in prison, didn't you? Get yourself back on the front pages.
He was crying.
Very, very upset.
He wanted to go home.
To his mommy.
And I wanted to send him home.
But I knew I couldn't.
Then I told him I would take him.
I put him in my car, started driving.
He kind of cheered up.
But of course I wasn't taking him home.
I was taking him somewhere else.
- You're lying.
- Am I? Who else is lying about that day, Mark? Are you? Are your friends? Jesse was crying when I found him.
Who made him cry, huh? The DNA tie-in with the missing kid is potentially huge.
For now this cannot get out.
We dig away until we know exactly what we are dealing with.
Don't want journalists banging on my door.
Danny.
The murder victim is yet to be ID-ed.
But we are tracing her mobile as it's possible the killer might have taken it with him.
Next.
Now given the reputation of the murder location and the manner of her dress, we're working on the possibility that she was accepting payment for sex.
So it could be a disgruntled client, partner of someone.
Or drug-related.
Every hooker I've encountered has been an addict.
We all know how many hookers Mickey's encountered.
Yeah, it's very funny.
As for the DNA findings, Didn't you know this kid? Weren't you there that day? He was the brother of a friend of mine.
I don't intend to let that cloud my judgement.
I'm gonna deal with this case like I deal with any other: professionally.
Alright, the murder weapon Daddy! I need to tell you something.
Right now ? No, mom, tomorrow night.
Now, of course now.
And this is ? We were married for 23 years, Mark.
You both need to hear this.
I told you, didn't I? I told you I knew he was alive.
It's a mistake It's a mistake.
It's been checked, it's DNA.
It's a mistake ! Alan! Accept it.
What accept that he's alive ? Give myself that hope only to have it dragged away again? - We are gonna get our boy back.
- I would give anything anything to put my arms around my son again.
But what is this, where does this leave us? Just like when he went: with a million of questions and no bloody answers.
Alan, Alan don't walk away.
- I can't do this again.
- Don't do this to me.
Don't walk out when I need you the most.
Please don't do it again.
Like what you see ? She's just the greatest kid.
I know it's a terrible parent cliché but she just makes me laugh like no one else I know.
She sounds great.
- You should meet her.
- I'd love to.
So, what about you ? Nothing like that on the horizon ? Fatherhood, responsibility ? Me ? No, not a chance.
Slade said you're seeing someone.
Yeah, I am.
Laura.
She's great but you know, early days.
- Are you serious about her ? - I'm crazy about her.
Is she about you ? Of course she is, look at me.
I'm a hell of a catch.
She's just honestly she's just a bit scared to take it to the next level.
Anyway.
Tell me about Stuart.
We met in the States.
He worked in the building next to the hospital where I was working.
So, I was seeing him all the time.
I've never thought I'd end up with someone in finance.
But he's just one of those people.
He gets what he wants.
And I guess he wanted me.
You know what? I've really missed you over the years.
Me too.
You know you're the only person I was ever able to talk to.
After Jesse Why didn't you contact me when you came back ? You know, no bullshit, Pru.
Just the real reason.
I don't know I just thought The past was better left there.
It's Slade.
Just checking to see if you're OK.
Where are you ? I'm just out.
- Out where ? - I'm just out with a friend.
A friend ? Yes, Slade, a friend.
I do have them.
Put her on.
Sorry ? Pru.
Put her on.
Hi, Pru.
How is he doing ? He didn't seem too good the other night.
Yeah he's fine, considering.
- Did he speak much about Jesse ? - Not really.
- Did he tell you he went to see Marosi ? - No.
He's bottling it up, he's dealing with all of this on his own.
I bet he didn't tell you his girlfriend dumped him.
Hold on one second.
Alright you lot, leave him alone.
What's going on, Stevie ? Talk to me.
I don't want to take it.
I think you should kick that ball as hard as you can.
Go for it.
Listen to me, Pru.
He's going through a lot right now, so promise me you'll be there if he needs you.
I promise.
Ok, great.
Bye.
I think I have one for you.
Please Please It's all right.
I'm here to help you.
Mark, it's me.
Listen I need Pru's number.
She should be in a hospital.
No, sorry, no can do.
Hospitals require all kind of information.
- No, you're doing great.
- She needs an internal scan.
Did she have anything on her? A phone or ID? She is yet to speak.
Slade, you dragged me into this, yeah? And I want things done properly.
This girl has been attacked.
And that to me requires the police.
Listen, if we call the police then we lose that trust.
And if we lose that trust then we have nothing.
No police, no.
So what are you gonna about it ? How did the meeting with Marosi go? Yeah, it was wonderful.
Listen mate, can you get into work? I'm still here.
Why ? OK good.
So I'm gonna send you a photo of a girl.
Have you had a girl reported missing recently looks who like this? She's got a really distinctive birth mark below her eye.
What's this about? - I can't tell you that yet, mate.
- Let me just get this straight.
So I'm in the middle of a murder investigation and I'm dead on my feet.
And you want me to talk to Missing Persons and God knows what, risking my career for God knows why.
And you expect me to do this just because we're friends? Yep, pretty much mate, yeah- I'll call you if I find anything.
Hey, any luck tracing the dead woman through the phone networks? Nada, zip, nichts.
Yeah, a simple "no" is fine.
No.
Is there any news, mate? Yeah, her name is Gemma Morgan.
She's officially a missing person.
And since when? Well, here's the kicker.
She disappeared 5 years ago.
5 years? Jesus-Christ! My brother went missing, too.
When he was 5 years old and we've never seen him again.
It's hard on those that left behind.
you know.
You've been missing for a really long time, Gemma.
Where have you been? Were you with someone? Did someone take you? Were you hold against your will? You can tell me.
Nothing bad is gonna happen to you.
We'll do everything we can to help you.
Were you held? Can you tell me where you've been? Not just me.
I'm not the only one.
There are more.
More? I mean how many? What are we supposed to do about that? Tread carefully.
The last thing we want to do is to freak her out.
We'll do just one piece of information at a time.
No, this is massive.
You know maybe Pru was right.
Maybe we need to get the cops in on this.
- Tell Danny, at least.
- No no no, not yet.
Don't you just love the city at night? I wish I was one of those insomniacs.
I could live my whole life at night.
Well, except I'd probably get rickets or something.
- Try a doughnut? - No, I'm alright, thanks.
Where is she? In there.
So what's the story then? Just look after her, make sure she's OK.
Help her settle in.
- Be kind.
- Yeah, good.
Ready? Brit! No, I should check it.
Let me guess: work? What? We have finally finally traced the mobile of the victim from the scene where we found your friend's DNA.
Her name's Annie Green.
For the best bit, it's turned on.
- You saying we track it? - Already on it.
Alright.
I have to go.
Momma, my sister, I have to go.
- Go.
- I'll see you later.
- I'll come back.
- Go.
Chopper is on the way there now.
OK, everybody listen up, I'm gonna take the front and I want 2 cars out the back.
Come with me.
Ally, you're round the back.
Hold the door.
He's gone upstairs.
Police! He's moving south on Craig Street, moving south on Craig Street.
Are you OK? I'm fine, get him! He's entering the building.
Mickey! I've lost him.
He's heading towards the east of the building, east of the building.
Got him? Are you Jesse? Are you Jesse? Tell me if you're Jesse! Just tell me if you're Jesse.
Are you Jesse? Used Sonia Eschbach's sub as a base for sync with help from Hellie English text by Myca87 & regenbogenora
Go home.
You know the way.
I don't want to go.
You'll be fine.
Trust me, just go.
You're too young to come, Jesse.
You won't even like it.
Jesse: Mark! Just go! We'll see you later.
Come on, Mark.
Go! Dad, my pocket money! Money, money, money It's all you think about.
I thought you might like this.
Thanks Dad.
Thanks I'm good, but thanks.
Come on, sit down.

- No, no.
His other victims was older.
It's a different MO.
- He admitted it, Mark.
- Tell me then why does everyone keep on talking like he's suddenly gonna turn up one day Because of your mother.
Why do you think we don't live together anymore? Because she can't move on.
Now look, he is dead, Mark.
Jesse is dead.
And this is ? We have to do a 100.
Every hour, on, the hour.
I need you to double-check these forensic results.
Why, what's the problem? The problem is they don't make any sense.
Can you stop that? We've had a DNA hit from the Missing person database.
- From a kid that went missing in 1995.
- What? Yeah, so how about you you stop pressing with your boyfriend and check it again? Thanks.
Is that Pru? Yep, under her married name.
Pru Carew.
Yeah, it's unfortunate.
Oh, to think she could have been Mrs.
Mark Wells married to a hot-shot lawyer.
And we're back in the playground.
No look now, she she is back.
She's working at the Windsor Lockwood Clinic.
Why would she come back without telling us? If we're gonna start unraveling the mysteries of female logic, we're gonna need stronger drinks.
The question is, knowing what we know about Jesse do you want to see her? - Yeah, I guess.
- Good! I messaged her, she said tomorrow's fine.
Danny! - Slade! - Hey darlin'.
Hey Pru.
Mark, hey.
So amazing to see you again.
God, how long has it been? - 16 years.
- No that can't be.
You're looking great, really.
So are you.
And I know I am.
- Not a day older older, apart from from the grays.
- What? That's big news.
Are you OK? Oh, uh, fine, yeah.
You know, it's a shock.
Hell of a shock.
We're working to find out more.
Well Danny felt and we all felt that since you were there that day, you know, you had a.
you had a right to know.
Well I thought about it a lot.
Every year on that day.
I always remember the date, every year.
So, when did you get back from the States? 2 years ago.
2 years? I know, I know.
I should've contacted you all.
But you know how it is, it's just work and I married an American.
Stuart's a workaholic.
And, well, I've got a little girl now, Nico, she's nearly 6.
Ah, she's cute.
I have 3 myself.
Which is at least one too many.
I kept meaning to, I kept putting it off.
And then one month turned into 6.
I don't know, I don't know You don't have to explain anything to us.
We're big boys, aren't we? Here we are.
It's happened.
The 4 of us.
Grown up.
And Slade running a shelter.
How did that happen? Says the doctor Private doctor, actually, so My socialism has gone out the window.
Blame the Americans.
Well, assuage your conscience.
Come and visit.
See how we do things.
I might enlist your services.
I'd like that.
Good.
- We should all keep in touch.
- Definitely.
Mark, pay me more attention.
Mark! This is the last time that you see me.
I wanna go to Marosi.
Are you out of your mind? I want to look him in the eye and I just wanna ask him some questions.
I really dont't think that's a good idea.
He said that he killed Jesse.
So I just wanna meet him.
And either you gonna help me out or I'm gonna have to sort this myself.
Hello, Mr.
Wells.
I want to talk about my brother.
I killed him.
I chose him, I took him and I killed him.
Three acts, simple.
I don't believe you.
They found the bodies of the other 4 boys that you killed, but not my brother.
Why not? I burnt it.
Why would you do that? Because he was younger.
And what I did to him was disgusting.
I like young boys.
And I liked Jesse.
A lot.
You're already facing life for the other 4 boys that you killed.
So you took the rep for Jesse in order to secure yourself privileges in prison, didn't you? Get yourself back on the front pages.
He was crying.
Very, very upset.
He wanted to go home.
To his mommy.
And I wanted to send him home.
But I knew I couldn't.
Then I told him I would take him.
I put him in my car, started driving.
He kind of cheered up.
But of course I wasn't taking him home.
I was taking him somewhere else.
- You're lying.
- Am I? Who else is lying about that day, Mark? Are you? Are your friends? Jesse was crying when I found him.
Who made him cry, huh? The DNA tie-in with the missing kid is potentially huge.
For now this cannot get out.
We dig away until we know exactly what we are dealing with.
Don't want journalists banging on my door.
Danny.
The murder victim is yet to be ID-ed.
But we are tracing her mobile as it's possible the killer might have taken it with him.
Next.
Now given the reputation of the murder location and the manner of her dress, we're working on the possibility that she was accepting payment for sex.
So it could be a disgruntled client, partner of someone.
Or drug-related.
Every hooker I've encountered has been an addict.
We all know how many hookers Mickey's encountered.
Yeah, it's very funny.
As for the DNA findings, Didn't you know this kid? Weren't you there that day? He was the brother of a friend of mine.
I don't intend to let that cloud my judgement.
I'm gonna deal with this case like I deal with any other: professionally.
Alright, the murder weapon Daddy! I need to tell you something.
Right now ? No, mom, tomorrow night.
Now, of course now.
And this is ? We were married for 23 years, Mark.
You both need to hear this.
I told you, didn't I? I told you I knew he was alive.
It's a mistake It's a mistake.
It's been checked, it's DNA.
It's a mistake ! Alan! Accept it.
What accept that he's alive ? Give myself that hope only to have it dragged away again? - We are gonna get our boy back.
- I would give anything anything to put my arms around my son again.
But what is this, where does this leave us? Just like when he went: with a million of questions and no bloody answers.
Alan, Alan don't walk away.
- I can't do this again.
- Don't do this to me.
Don't walk out when I need you the most.
Please don't do it again.
Like what you see ? She's just the greatest kid.
I know it's a terrible parent cliché but she just makes me laugh like no one else I know.
She sounds great.
- You should meet her.
- I'd love to.
So, what about you ? Nothing like that on the horizon ? Fatherhood, responsibility ? Me ? No, not a chance.
Slade said you're seeing someone.
Yeah, I am.
Laura.
She's great but you know, early days.
- Are you serious about her ? - I'm crazy about her.
Is she about you ? Of course she is, look at me.
I'm a hell of a catch.
She's just honestly she's just a bit scared to take it to the next level.
Anyway.
Tell me about Stuart.
We met in the States.
He worked in the building next to the hospital where I was working.
So, I was seeing him all the time.
I've never thought I'd end up with someone in finance.
But he's just one of those people.
He gets what he wants.
And I guess he wanted me.
You know what? I've really missed you over the years.
Me too.
You know you're the only person I was ever able to talk to.
After Jesse Why didn't you contact me when you came back ? You know, no bullshit, Pru.
Just the real reason.
I don't know I just thought The past was better left there.
It's Slade.
Just checking to see if you're OK.
Where are you ? I'm just out.
- Out where ? - I'm just out with a friend.
A friend ? Yes, Slade, a friend.
I do have them.
Put her on.
Sorry ? Pru.
Put her on.
Hi, Pru.
How is he doing ? He didn't seem too good the other night.
Yeah he's fine, considering.
- Did he speak much about Jesse ? - Not really.
- Did he tell you he went to see Marosi ? - No.
He's bottling it up, he's dealing with all of this on his own.
I bet he didn't tell you his girlfriend dumped him.
Hold on one second.
Alright you lot, leave him alone.
What's going on, Stevie ? Talk to me.
I don't want to take it.
I think you should kick that ball as hard as you can.
Go for it.
Listen to me, Pru.
He's going through a lot right now, so promise me you'll be there if he needs you.
I promise.
Ok, great.
Bye.
I think I have one for you.
Please Please It's all right.
I'm here to help you.
Mark, it's me.
Listen I need Pru's number.
She should be in a hospital.
No, sorry, no can do.
Hospitals require all kind of information.
- No, you're doing great.
- She needs an internal scan.
Did she have anything on her? A phone or ID? She is yet to speak.
Slade, you dragged me into this, yeah? And I want things done properly.
This girl has been attacked.
And that to me requires the police.
Listen, if we call the police then we lose that trust.
And if we lose that trust then we have nothing.
No police, no.
So what are you gonna about it ? How did the meeting with Marosi go? Yeah, it was wonderful.
Listen mate, can you get into work? I'm still here.
Why ? OK good.
So I'm gonna send you a photo of a girl.
Have you had a girl reported missing recently looks who like this? She's got a really distinctive birth mark below her eye.
What's this about? - I can't tell you that yet, mate.
- Let me just get this straight.
So I'm in the middle of a murder investigation and I'm dead on my feet.
And you want me to talk to Missing Persons and God knows what, risking my career for God knows why.
And you expect me to do this just because we're friends? Yep, pretty much mate, yeah- I'll call you if I find anything.
Hey, any luck tracing the dead woman through the phone networks? Nada, zip, nichts.
Yeah, a simple "no" is fine.
No.
Is there any news, mate? Yeah, her name is Gemma Morgan.
She's officially a missing person.
And since when? Well, here's the kicker.
She disappeared 5 years ago.
5 years? Jesus-Christ! My brother went missing, too.
When he was 5 years old and we've never seen him again.
It's hard on those that left behind.
you know.
You've been missing for a really long time, Gemma.
Where have you been? Were you with someone? Did someone take you? Were you hold against your will? You can tell me.
Nothing bad is gonna happen to you.
We'll do everything we can to help you.
Were you held? Can you tell me where you've been? Not just me.
I'm not the only one.
There are more.
More? I mean how many? What are we supposed to do about that? Tread carefully.
The last thing we want to do is to freak her out.
We'll do just one piece of information at a time.
No, this is massive.
You know maybe Pru was right.
Maybe we need to get the cops in on this.
- Tell Danny, at least.
- No no no, not yet.
Don't you just love the city at night? I wish I was one of those insomniacs.
I could live my whole life at night.
Well, except I'd probably get rickets or something.
- Try a doughnut? - No, I'm alright, thanks.
Where is she? In there.
So what's the story then? Just look after her, make sure she's OK.
Help her settle in.
- Be kind.
- Yeah, good.
Ready? Brit! No, I should check it.
Let me guess: work? What? We have finally finally traced the mobile of the victim from the scene where we found your friend's DNA.
Her name's Annie Green.
For the best bit, it's turned on.
- You saying we track it? - Already on it.
Alright.
I have to go.
Momma, my sister, I have to go.
- Go.
- I'll see you later.
- I'll come back.
- Go.
Chopper is on the way there now.
OK, everybody listen up, I'm gonna take the front and I want 2 cars out the back.
Come with me.
Ally, you're round the back.
Hold the door.
He's gone upstairs.
Police! He's moving south on Craig Street, moving south on Craig Street.
Are you OK? I'm fine, get him! He's entering the building.
Mickey! I've lost him.
He's heading towards the east of the building, east of the building.
Got him? Are you Jesse? Are you Jesse? Tell me if you're Jesse! Just tell me if you're Jesse.
