Murderland s01e02 Episode Script

A man did this, almost certainly a man your mother knew.
And I can help you find him? Both of us, together? Whoever did this has more to fear from you than anyone else in the world.
When she said goodbye, there was someone there.
Love you.
Take care.
I saw shoes.
We're trying to match them.
Did she have many boyfriends? It was you! No, no, no.
Come back here, you! I saw the shoes! I know who killed - I thought I'd never see you again.
I feel as if I want to hug you, butI'm not going to.
But I'm definitely going to have a drink.
Oh, can't God, Carrie - It's Carol.
Carol.
Of course it's Carol.
That's why you came here, cos you're not a child any more.
But isn't that a bit risky? I can't do this any more.
I thought it would stop, but it hasn't.
You're as beautiful now as she was, you know.
I still think about her every day.
I want to believe that, II do.
I want to believe you, but What if I was wrong? What if you hated her so much? She was a whore.
And you put a knife through her body again and again - No.
No.
.
.
and again and again - Stop it.
Stop it! STOP IT! .
.
and again and again! OK, you have to tell me.
You have to tell me everything that happened that night, because you were there .
.
weren't you? Yes, I was.
Feet away.
So you won't wear it tonight? Real promise? Real promise.
Now I have to get changed.
I'll see you later, sweetheart.
Be back before ten, yeah? That's a real promise too.
I'll be home.
Is someone here? It's just a friend.
We'll talk about it later.
(KISS) Love you.
Take care.
Going to show me your dress? I can't, I promised her.
You've plenty of time to take it off before she sees.
Come on, deal's a deal.
Ahem! All right, are your eyes closed? Mm.
OK, open.
Oh, boy! Oh! It's so beautiful.
Thank you.
You're wearing it to work? It's fine.
I'll change when I get there.
You know what? I could get you out of that in ten seconds.
Yes, I could! No! Don't.
I'm going to be so late.
Come on.
Later.
Go on.
It is so gorgeous, thank you.
One more month and I'll be out of there.
I'll get to meet Carrie? Yeah.
People can know about us at last.
Will Oliver be there tonight? Yeah, probably.
He was there last night.
Says it's his job, checking on drugs.
Yeah, like hell.
Is he touching you up? No.
Will you stop treating me like one of your suspects? You did do it with him once.
Yeah, years ago.
Are you sure he doesn't know about us? Sure.
Look, I'd better go.
Oh, Rachel wants me to go to Philips' party tonight, but just for one drink, then I'll be home.
I'll see you later.
What the hell are you doing here? I can go where I like, sonny.
And there's been talk about that place for months.
If it amounts to anything, Vice are on it.
So tell me.
I just came by for a pint of milk.
Maybe I'll believe you.
So you're looking for a new friend? That'll be me away, then.
Prick! Yeah? You said you came here because you wanted to find out the truth.
Are you really sure you want to find it? I wantI want to start a home.
There's someone I wanna .
.
I wanna be with.
I can't do that, I can't do those things, until I know.
Well, perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
This is not some historical exercise.
You've seen the files, you know the state of her.
There's some real psycho out there, and somebody's been protecting him.
Soif you have to go, then I have to go with you.
I thought I'd make a fortune out of this place.
Last month they couldn't even rent it.
Oh, and I have copies of all the original files and case notes.
Aye, aye.
All right.
Well, the knife was from the kitchen.
Maybe he kind of picked it up in a rage.
Clever sod, though.
He soaked it in bleach in the sink.
However, I think we might get something from the internal, cos there's clearly signs of rape.
Yeah? Careful in there, Dougie.
It's still virgin territory.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm just looking is all, Ed.
Oh, good.
About time! We need all this searched.
Can you bag everything up? You've got something.
What? What is it? Flu or cold or? You're flushed.
Oh! Whisky and not enough sleep is what I've got, Ed.
I'll leave you guys to bag up, yeah? If only the daughter would show up.
Sounds like she saw the bloke here.
Did she? Oh, God, what's he doing here? If she worked at that parlour, sir, Vice would be informed.
Yeah.
Right up your street, Hain.
Yeah.
So why are YOU here? She worked Cleo's.
I met her a few times.
Since you're so interested in Cleo's, maybe you knew her too.
No.
Why don't you go away? You wanna tell Paddy Sherman you threw me out? The head of Vice? All I need, son, is some room.
Fine.
You screw up, I'm not covering for you.
All the prints were wiped.
He took his time - What the? She promised! Promised what? She said she wouldn't wear it! That she wouldn't wear the dress! DI Hain? Yeah.
Dr Maitland, child psychiatrist.
Yes.
I've been talking to the girl.
What did she see? Shedoesn't know what she saw.
It can take a while for memories to surface.
Years, sometimes.
Shedoesn't know what she saw.
It can take a while for memories to surface.
Years, sometimes.
We're up against the clock.
Don't forget that.
She said she wouldn't wear it, not tonight.
It was a new dress.
Do you know where she got it from? No.
She didn't tell me.
Did she have many boyfriends? Carrie, my duty is to make you feel safe.
If you want to stop, you just say, OK? Did she have many boyfriends? No.
But when she said goodbye to me, I think there was someone there.
Yeah? I've seen you before.
I've been in the papers a few times.
Carrie, I need a word with DI Hain.
Won't be a second.
If you want to question her, don't do it in a police canteen, do it formally, tomorrow.
She's in shock, and it's too much pressure.
She saw the killer! If we're quick, we could get the bastard tonight.
Sod all.
Signs of rape, but he wore a condom.
OK, Carrie, it's time to leave.
Shit.
No! Try to sleep Why didn't somebody tell me? No, I want to stay and help.
Can we go on, please? If you're sure.
Run through it one more time.
You went back to the house.
You heard a noise.
Yeah, and then I saw a shape.
Man? Woman? Er Tall? Short? I don't know.
A smell maybe? Perfume? Aftershave? I don't know.
Hain! But you can find them? Of course I will.
Real promise? That's what my mum says It's OK.
You're all right.
It's all right.
Come on.
I'll clean you up.
That was completely out of order.
We need to talk to anyone who knew Sally Walsh.
I did.
Oh, I'll take this, Con.
See if you can find out what anyone else knows.
Need a quiet word.
All right, girls, come on through.
Couldn't believe it.
Awful.
Last time I saw her was at the party, and she seemed fine.
They're going to interview you officially, sooner or later, and I've told them I never even met her.
So you know what I'm asking you? Mm.
One whiff of this and I'll be off the case.
I know.
I won't say anything.
Same goes for you.
If people here find out I fed you stuff, they'd tear my tongue out.
Yeah.
Well, that won't happen.
Really.
But keep your ear to the ground.
I'm still sure Oliver's on the take.
Is this where they used to meet? Oh, you're always on about him.
I don't think anything was going on between 'em.
And, like I say, I never saw him take any money out of here.
OK.
Keep your eyes open.
Everything all right, sir? Fine.
Finished here.
No signs of a break-in.
The man in the bedroom said the daughter's name.
It's someone Sally knew.
OK, well, Sally did her shift at Cleo's, went on to Philips's party briefly and then went home.
Philips has been very cooperative.
I bet he has.
Run the tape, will you? Right, this is the very cooperative Tony Philips.
Lots of money.
Magazines, officially.
Massage parlours a definite possibility.
Yet Vice have never had anything on him.
Strange! We've been over him.
We think he's clean.
That'll be why he's smirking.
Don't put that on me.
Do it on the rest of them.
Steve Tobias.
Builder.
Has got his own company.
Investigated for fraud.
Charges were dropped.
I'm sure they were.
That is Sam Lawson, ex-boyfriend of the victim and a bit of a loser.
And how the hell do you know that? Rachel White.
She works at the parlour.
I spoke to her.
Have you got notes? Con's got them.
She's coming in later to make a full statement.
Anything else? Yeah.
There may have been a visitor to the house earlier that evening.
Nobody got a proper look.
Hello, Mum.
Somebody saw her getting into a car but they didn't see the driver.
Got the make of the car, registration number? Not yet.
But here's what's interesting.
From what we can gather, the daughter must've been in the house when the visitor was there.
She might've seen him.
She didn't mention that.
I'll ask her about that.
Dr Maitland, you'd like to say something about the girl? Yes.
Thank you.
Well, as you know, Carrie Walsh is staying at a friend's house for the moment.
The reason being is that she has no close relatives.
There's an aunt.
On her mother's side.
We're tracking her down.
Now I know that you'll want to talk to her again, but I think you should wait.
How long? Definitely until after the funeral, at which there will be no police presence.
DCI Crawford has endorsed my recommendations.
Well, that's that, then.
Will I see you later? -What do you think? I'm thinkingFlorida.
What was that place Carrie liked? With the lighthouse and that biscuit whatsit? -Pompano Beach.
Yeah.
Are you serious? Oh, as hell.
I'll see you later.
Stay! So your dad was American? Yeah.
Did you ever go there? Once.
Pompano Beach.
Pompano Beach! You know, I think I've been there.
Long time ago.
I remember it had a big lighthouse that looked like a two-stage rocket, and the nose cone looked like a biscuit tin.
Yeah.
I remember it.
I went there with my dad.
I've never met anyone else who knew it.
Well, let's just hope I can do you some good.
Oh, I know what I meant to ask you.
That night, before your mother went out, there was someone there with her in the house, you said.
Friend, she said.
Did you see him? No.
I didn't.
Do you know what I think? There was a condom in the waste bin and it was removed.
Why? There was a wrapper, and traces of spermicide.
We searched the whole bloody area.
He went back later that night.
That takes nerve.
Well, he certainly had that.
Anything else? I've been through the list of local sex offenders, sir.
Rounding up all the pervs, banging 'em up? Not like you, Con! Well, Oliver says it's where - Oliver! Where is Oliver? He's taking the girl to the funeral, sir.
Maitland asked him to go.
The lying bitch! # Unresting, unhasting .
.
and silent as light Nor wanting nor wasting Thou rulest in might Thy justice like mountains high Thy justice like mountains high Soaring above Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love Great Father of glory Pure Father of light The angels adore thee All veiling their sight 'No police presence,' you said.
That meant me, I suppose.
Yeah, it did.
And you went to see her, against my express instruction.
No police presence, that's all I agreed with.
And you broke that yourself.
Mrs Marlowe, I wonder if I could borrow Carrie for a minute or two? Ask her a few questions, if she agrees.
Yes.
I want to.
I'll bring her home.
Come on.
This was taken at Tony Philips' party.
You were there.
Yes.
Butthat man chucked us out.
That's Sam Lawson.
He went out with your mum, didn't he? Well, she had dinner with him.
Mm.
You know when I said goodbye to my mum and I said that there was someone there? And you didn't see them.
Well, no, but I saw shoes.
Black trainers with a red slash.
I'd never seen any like them before.
Would that help? Remind me.
What are we doing here exactly? -Waiting.
So they never found the condom? No.
He soaked the knife in bleach.
He used a condom.
Yeah.
It's called postcoital guilt.
And what happened to the condom? Where is it? How could your lot have missed it?! What's the latest on the girl? I'm worried about her.
I think she's heading into Murderland.
I'm seeing tell-tale signs.
The girl saw the killer! Whoever we're looking for would've killed her, if she hadn't been so damn quick.
All she saw was a blur.
Yes, but he doesn't know that, does he? He might try again.
Look, she's just buried her mother.
She needs to grieve.
She doesn't even know how the woman earned a living.
I have to tell her.
Why? Why would you tell her that? Because she'll find out soon enough.
I'll be happy when she's relocated.
I bet you will.
What does that mean? Use your professional judgment.
Did your balloon burst, Douglas? I think you'd have heard the pop.
I hear you had a session with my boys today.
Yeah, but I couldn't help out much.
But I have been thinking about who killed Sally Walsh.
How 'bout yourself? Sorry? What have you got? Just bits and pieces.
Oh, right.
Cos I heard something today.
Turns out she WAS seeing someone on the quiet.
And it comes a bit close to home.
It was a cop.
Who told you that? Just girl's talk, I suppose.
Nobody knows who.
But do you know what I think? I think maybe it was one of those greedy fuckpigs from Vice.
If you do find something out, do let me know.
I'm off to bed.
Or else a detective.
Or a traffic warden! I need more than this.
Well, maybe we can try and find him.
We? Just friends.
Night, Douglas.
Yeah? I'll see you in 15, then.
Stay! Let me make sure I've got this absolutely right.
You're saying that you heard Oliver and Philips talking at the parlour? Yeah, in a side room.
Definitely those two? Yeah.
And you heard them clearly? Yeah! Oliver thought he was holding back money they owed him.
God, this is fantastic! I always suspected that Philips had money tied up in that place.
Listen, don't think I'll repeat this.
I won't.
I'll deny it.
OK, OK, OK, that's understood.
What I want to know is how they get the money out of the place.
Hm One of the girls? Punter? Nah.
They wouldn't be that stupid.
Is anything collected, anything delivered? Only laundry.
No.
No, no.
Look, I'm never there at that time anyway, so don't ask.
I can't give you any more.
Not even for her.
But all you have is what that woman thinks she heard.
I'll admit, I'd love to put one over that prick Paddy Sherman.
This is connected to the Walsh murder.
All right.
I'll put a team together.
Watch your step with the Walsh daughter.
You could look out of your depth.
Has she given you anything? Not yet.
She's a lovely kid, sir.
And bright.
You sound like her bloody father.
Leave all that stuff to Maitland.
It's good, isn't it? It's excellent.
Well done.
No! What is it? Not in the dress! She wasn't wearing it! No, of course she wasn't! Of course she wasn't wearing the dress! I was going for accuracy here! Get out! Sir - OUT! I'm really sorry, Carrie.
Why don't we just do it as you remember it? There! In there! Whoa, whoa.
Whoa.
He's one of ours.
He's one of ours.
Did it trigger anything? No.
Just shadows, like before.
Yeah, well, well done.
It's all over now.
It's all over.
How dare you? How dare you put her through this? It's not only unethical, it's probably illegal too, as you must know.
I don't know what you're trying to do, but I'm reporting this.
I'll do my best to get you off this case.
You'd better have me sectioned, cos I'm going nowhere.
You're desperate.
I'm just trying to help her.
No, it's more than that.
It's far more.
You remember, Hain, she is the one who will pay for this in the end.
I'm sure the girl will be all right, sir.
Thanks, Con.
Dr Maitland might have calmed down by the morning.
Hm Three times we've been here in as many days.
It all revolved around here.
You're developing an unhealthy interest in this place.
That's Whitaker! It is! The guy who took the photos of you.
Still getting his jollies here! Dirty little pig.
You said he knew something.
CON: You were outside the house.
And you said you had a son.
Only cos I didn't want to worry her.
I took a couple of photos, that's all.
All of the girl.
I had a new camera.
I was trying it out.
I do photo competitions.
Check it out if you want.
Never had a conviction in my life.
Ask anyone.
Like your friends? I don't know anything.
Yeah? Sir? Right.
CARRIE: Did she want the men to hurt her? I think there's more.
That man, Whitaker, did he photograph my mother? Is that it? Was she naked? Oh They're of me.
He said he was trying out his new camera.
And we've got no evidence to the contrary.
Carrie.
When you're ready.
We've got nothing on Whitaker, sir.
And he has an alibi.
Yeah, but he was well frightened when I asked him about his friends.
I don't know what to do.
Maitland told Carrie her mother was a prostitute.
Didn't believe her, so I had to tell her.
How'd she take it? How do you think? Says her mother's a whore, says she brought it on herself.
Now she wants to come and live with me! You don't want to get so involved, sir.
She's not your responsibility.
Oh, he's here.
Who's that? Sam Lawson, the ex-boyfriend.
Good news.
He claims he saw the new boyfriend in his car outside her house.
Did he? You take it.
Just through there.
Guess what? Sixteen hundred in used notes in the laundry van.
You were right for once.
-Fantastic! They picked up Oliver.
Doesn't seem any doubt.
He was gonna collect.
Great! The bugger'll never walk straight again.
Yeah, as long as he doesn't try and worm his way out.
He's being questioned now.
I was just wondering if Carrie Walsh was with you.
It's just she's not where she's supposed to be.
Maitland's filed a complaint.
You said you could handle it! I had a feeling you might be here.
You took a big risk, coming back on your own, you know.
Whoever did this has more to fear from you than anyone else in the world.
Is that new cuttings? Can I have a look? Argh! Whoa, whoa! Carrie! What's wrong? It'sit's how you knew about the flowers! And about Pompano Beach and everything else.
You knew her! It was you! No, no, no.
Come back here, you! Dr Maitland! I saw the shoes! I know who killed - Come here.
Get off.
Get off me! You did this! I didn't tell you the whole truth.
I was at the house, yes.
And I lied.
But I did not hurt her.
I loved your mother.
YOU KILLED HER! I didn't! I had to lie, or they'd lock me up, and you wouldn't find out who did it.
No.
You did it.
You're lying again! She was a whore! You mustn't call her that.
We were going to go to Pompano Beach.
Do you remember? I wouldn't hurt her.
Promise.
Real promise! She used to say that to me too.
You bought the dress.
Yes.
She looked beautiful in it.
I wanted her to have it.
Don't tell them I was at the house that day.
Please, don't.
Wait.
Stand back! I've got to talk to that girl.
Leave me alone! You admit you had a relationship with the victim.
Which I did not reveal because I'd immediately be taken off the case.
Can I ask you a question, sir? What the hell's he doing here? He's being questioned! And what about all that money you found? Vice know all about it.
They always did.
Sherman was into a Dutch criminal syndicate.
All you did was scare 'em off.
You don't believe that crap, sir.
Do you? Sorry, Douglas, it's all about you now.
Even supposing you didn't kill Sally Walsh, you concealed material evidence from us.
You could go down for that.
Don't push that one.
The only reason I didn't say I knew her was because I was determined to find the real killer.
-Knew her? The daughter says you loved her.
Were you in her house the day of the murder? No.
That's not what we hear.
Are you sure? Sure.
This gets worse for you every minute.
You were seen.
By whom? We're not obliged to tell you that.
You do realise you assaulted a police officer? In self-defence! I was manhandled! Shit, what a mess! Crawford? Crawford, is that you? Look at you.
I told you you'd screw up.
So you saw her on some occasions, but not the day of the murder? That is correct.
You know in an hour or two you're going to have to either charge me or let me go.
I was not at the house that night.
I did not kill her.
Who have you got behind there? Is it Carrie Walsh? I want to talk to her.
Carrie! I loved your mother.
Everything I did, I did for your mother, I promise.
Real promise.
All right, let's leave it at that.
So I'm right, then.
Con, be a pal and get me a cup of tea, will you? Ah! The doctor will see me.
Shame on you.
What's getting up your nose now? The fact I'm innocent? I don't think so.
Or why would you have manipulated that child? I'd like to see her, please.
You be careful what you wish for.
Are you sure? Yes.
I think it might make it more real for her.
OK.
Carrie This is your chance to tell the truth about what you said on the phone.
DI Hain here was in your house that day of the murder, wasn't he? It was his shoes you saw.
You said so on the phone, and later we found a photo that matched.
When you realised, you ran off.
He chased you.
That's right, isn't it? Carrie, if you lie now, if you can't tell the truth, it could be very serious.
It might stop this whole investigation.
Then we might never know what happened.
Do you understand? So tell me.
Yes.
He chased me.
But it wasn't to hurt me.
He wasn't there that day.
It wasn't him.
Butwhat you said on the phone was different, Carrie.
The shoes.
The shoes I saw were nothing like the photo.
I-I didn't look properly.
I'm sorry.
WPC Hart, please take her away.
You think you're clever, Hain.
I don't care what happens to you, but you have no idea how hard you've made it for her.
She's all over the place! She's covering up for her mother's murder.
She will go to her aunt, even though she doesn't want to, because there isn't anyone else.
And to get her out of this, I'll have to try something else now.
What? Punishment therapy? Oh, God, no.
You're going to dope her up, aren't you? Drugs! She won't even know who she is! It's done, Douglas.
Charges? No charges.
You will be retired, finished, the end.
And the case? We'll do what we can.
In other words, nothing.
Perhaps you're relieved.
You don't actually think I did it, do you? Maybe, maybe not.
But I still know you're lying through your teeth.
We all do.
Did you hate her as much as I did? Not by then.
I was too far gone.
But later, much later, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, forget about her.
The point is you now know all that I know about the investigation.
You're sure of that? Sure I'm sure.
There was a major cover-up.
And whoever did this, they had a fixation on your mother, which is why you're in such danger now.
Where would you even start? The parlour.
That's how I can get to Whitaker.
Tell me you're joking.
Don't look at me like that.
I'll be back before you know it.
Don't go in there.
Not tonight, please.
Do you think I do it because I enjoy it? When you're in there, I just can't stop thinking about what .
.
you're doing.
About what you'reDOING.
It makes me want to- What? Do what?! How do you think it makes me feel?! Look, it's not for much longer.
You know that.
I promise.
I phoned about work.
OK.
Come up.
Careful in there, Dougie.
It's still virgin territory.
Yeah, yeah, I'm just looking is all, Ed.
Oh, good.
About time! We need all this searched.
Can you bag everything up? You've got something.
Whisky and not enough sleep is what I've got, Ed.
I'm sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
