Durham County (2007) s02e05 Episode Script

Daddy hurt Mummy.
Are you fucking my dad? No.
Her saline level count is 207.
That's poisoning.
Molly saw Bonnie lick the condensation off the fish tank.
The likely suspect is Pen Verrity.
Jonathan took them.
How long? I don't know.
Ten, 15 minutes.
Ugh! Come on.
Come here.
Come here.
We are going to find Mark, OK? Everybody's looking.
Everybody.
It's going to be OK.
I love you.
Pen.
Found Molly Crocker's body around nine.
Her diary indicated she'd seen Jonathan, that's how we connected it.
Type the blood yet? Matches.
So Jonathan kills her, kidnaps Mark.
She must've had something on him.
Maybe she had something on Pen.
We were investigating Pen Verrity for the drowning of her daughter.
Yeah, well, this changes everything, doesn't it? She could've done it, set him up.
Look, she's been through enough, all right, Tom? Leave her alone.
Ready? I guess so.
You have to face your father.
Where did you get a gun? My dad gave it to my mum when he moved out.
I'm taking the safety off.
Hell, Sadie.
It was loaded, it has to be real.
It's part of the therapy, you know, you have to isolate the fear.
Put this on me.
Your father tied my hands.
Jesus Christ.
Pick it up.
I can't do this.
Pick up the gun! The safety stays on.
OK, fine.
Let's just do it.
Put it on my neck.
You have to rub me with it.
Move it down like it's his fingers touching me with it.
I can't do it.
You can do it! I can't! He put it in-between my legs.
He put it in my mouth! OK.
I love you.
I love you so much.
That's what he did to me.
Nothing bad will ever happen to you again, I promise.
The pathologist says he'll have Bonnie Verrity's test results soon.
If it's poisoning, then Jonathan wasn't there, he was away.
Then we could put Molly at the house.
Maybe she helped him, maybe that's the motive.
Work with the evidence we've got, Tom.
The shoes, the bloody footprint.
We've got a match on that.
Pen's made herself indispensable, can't you see it, the way she's wormed into your life? You sound like a jealous girlfriend.
Mikey, Tommo.
Traci Prager is refusing to testify.
She just withdrew her statement.
At the last minute? She's afraid.
Tell her to watch her back when they spring Ray.
We're in shit here, guys.
We lost a charge, we lost a witness.
Figure it out.
I've been summoned upstairs.
Ray Junior hasn't made a statement yet.
He's talked to his father twice in the last couple of days.
It works for or against us.
I'll talk to him.
We've been hanging out.
I'm looking at a cold case.
Talk to me when you get back.
How's Sadie? The prosecutor's prepping her today.
Got no news on Mark yet.
I know.
I'm here for the case conference.
I'm replacing the other psychiatrist.
He has a conflict.
Your son's been kidnapped, surely someone else is available.
So what should I do, faint dead away? I prefer to work.
You must be worried.
I'm sure that Mark is safe with his father.
Safer than he is with you? Excuse me? Tom, shut up or get out.
No, he needs to be here.
This is fine with you? Yeah.
Roxy tells me that you lost a witness, is that right? Yeah, Ray's wife.
Sadie's testimony alone can get you that conviction.
Why's that? She was assaulted.
She said in her statement She lied.
When did Sadie tell you this? She told me.
I've been treating her.
Sadie may be too traumatised to speak on the stand.
But you'll be there, won't you, doc? You'll help her, hmm? I suppose it doesn't look good me being here but I don't know what else to do.
I'll talk to him.
I'm OK.
Let's look at this.
Mike Sweeney - possibly instrumental in subject's disappearance.
Possibly.
New word.
A file was in his briefcase.
It wasn't signed out.
So? So, it's the only record, it's really incriminating.
He stole it.
OK, maybe there's an explanation, so you just ask him.
He'll lie.
He already swore he had nothing to do with Lissie Alexie.
Did you ask your dad yet? You can't believe my dad.
You said that you have a right to know who your father is, whatever that means.
Help me get the board.
What board? Like, Sweeney Does Lissie Alexie.
What do you want it for? Oh, my bedroom wall.
You know, right next to the Jonas Brothers poster.
You pull on it and I'll push from here.
OK.
Oh! What the Sadie, what are you doing? Oh, my God! Mike's gone to bat for you, but it's not going to last.
You killed Molly, set up Jonathan.
You're crazy.
Not me, doc.
How about Bonnie? Did you feel anything, doc? You stay away from me! She was just a child.
Helpless.
I hear you went to see your dad.
Shush.
Sadie's here.
You see him, all burnt up? He said he did it because he wanted to punish himself.
Maybe he did.
What do you think? I felt sorry for him.
Is that messed up? I asked him about his mum hanging herself.
Tears rolling out of his eyes.
Yeah, well, tears.
He never talked about her once my whole life.
It's because he hated her, Raymond.
He hated her.
Ahem.
I'm sorry, I'll get out of here.
No, no, nothing's going on.
It's not like we're screwing or anything.
Sadie, what are you doing? Did you ever go up to the farm, Glenn? That was a long time ago.
Oh, yeah.
Did you see my dad there? You should ask him, Sadie.
And what about Lissie Alexie, did he know her? Sadie, ask him.
Tell me! He knew her.
He knew her real well.
Excuse me.
What's your problem? The guy's my friend.
What's going on? Why aren't you at school? Where did you get that? You knew her.
Lissie.
She's dead, isn't she? Jesus Christ.
You lied to me.
Sadie.
I found it at the farm in the wall.
I also found the file in your briefcase.
Were you trying to hide it? Sadie, I was never at the farm, all right? Ray did this.
I am not Ray.
Stay right here.
I'll be back.
Sadie shot Ray, not you.
Yes, she did.
It's just a rumour right now, thank God.
If Ray's lawyers hear about this.
It's not going to happen because they would have to ask why.
How many cops out there and no-one looks for blow back on the hands? I wouldn't let them do the test.
You're telling me you're prepared to lie under oath in a court of law? Only to protect my daughter.
You deserve to lose this.
Get out of here.
Sadie! Pen! You've reached me, Sadie Sweeney.
Leave me a message.
Sadie, whatever happened to Lissie Alexie, I had nothing to do with it, OK? Look, uh, we'll investigate this.
You and me.
You become emotionally involved, Sadie, and nine times out of ten emotion is what's going to trip you up.
Nine times out of ten.
Here, Sadie, it's a mild sedative.
It will make you feel better, OK? That's Lissie's hair.
I'm going to go to Tom.
I'm going to give him the evidence.
I found it behind the board with my dad's name on it.
I mean, that's a lot, right? That's enough.
And it smells like, I don't know, like, um, burntkerosene.
He killed her.
Him and Ray.
Did you read the file? Yeah.
The police questioned him but No, he was a suspect.
He was at the farm? Yeah.
Did Ray tell you this? Yeah, Ray - and Glenn told me.
Are you saying you think your father covered this up? Do you really think my father could do something like that? Wives do things.
You know that yourself, what happened at school.
They killed her and they raped her, that's what happened.
It's like we don't matter.
Like .
.
like we should all be dead.
That's what, you know, Lissie's body is still up at the farm, that's what all that's what all this is about.
I have to go see Tom and .
.
Tom's going to He'll know what to do and No, not Tom, not Tom.
I know what to do.
I know what to do.
It's OK, sweetie, you just need to sleep, that's all.
Sleep, my love.
Sleep, P.
Anything on Molly Crocker yet? No.
Pen helping you out with Ray? You didn't say what you think of that, Mike.
She's competent, all right? Yeah, ask nicely, maybe she'll put a hammer through his skull for you.
OK, look, that's enough.
You're over-involved, you don't see it.
I'll decide what I am.
You got anything on the neighbours yet? We're working on it.
Nothing so far.
All right.
There's a day care right across the street maybe, maybe somebody saw something.
Parents are in there picking up their kids all afternoon.
Check that out.
That's a good idea.
Memo where I'm at, the surveillance.
Jonathan was there yesterday and so was Pen.
I have a chronology for Jonathan Verrity, he was with his secretary all afternoon.
All right, check it out.
OK.
Sadie called, left a message.
You know what she wants? No.
I called back.
No answer.
There's your friend.
Anything yet? No.
No, no.
Everybody's looking.
Tom accused me of killing Molly.
And Bonnie.
I don't understand how this is happening.
I didn't kill anybody.
I know.
Listen, is Sadie OK? Ray told her that you raped and murdered that girl.
How could she .
.
how could she believe that? I told you, she's projecting her experience with Ray onto you.
OK, where is she? I'll go talk to her.
I wouldn't.
She's scared of you, Mike.
She won't talk to you.
She's at her mother's.
She'll come around, just give her some time, OK? If Ray killed that girl, you get everything you need in court, you could put him away for life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can help you.
I told you, I'll talk to him for you.
Not yet, OK? Not yet.
Dr Alexie, hi.
I'm, ah, I'm looking into your sister's disappearance and I was wondering if she tried to make contact with you at all over the last couple of years? Why would you care now? They thought she was just a hooker.
Elizabeth was an honours student, she had a scholarship, I don't think that would've happened.
My report says that she was going to meet a guy named Mike.
Yeah, Mike.
He was a friend.
Her big crush.
He asked her out once, he stood her up and moved away.
So the last time you would've seen her would've been? There was this party she was going to.
She told me he was supposed to be there.
Where was the party? I don't know.
The guy who picked her up drove an orange car.
You told the police this? Because that wasn't in the report.
Yes, I told them.
Thanks for your time.
Prosecutor's office called.
Sadie missed her appointment.
Is she losing her nerve? No, no.
She, ahshe probably mixed up the time.
You've reached me, Sadie Sweeney.
Leave a message.
Sadie, you need to call me.
Stop avoiding me.
What are these assholes doing here? Sergeant Sweeney.
What's going on, fellas? Fishing.
Check out the old stream, scoop some trout.
This stream is a dead zone.
Haven't been any trout in there since since you, ah, since you went fishing with Ray.
What have we got there, Glenn? You want to check that out? A couple of shovels, an axe, plastic sheeting and a rope.
Fishing rods? No, not that I can see.
What's the plan here, Ronnie? You going to dig for fish? Beat them to death with those shovels? Stevie, you are one dumb jerk.
You forgot the rods? The only rods I see are you two juice boxes.
So, listen, I'm getting complaints that you're, well, you're bringing hookers up here and you're beating the shit out of them, that's what I'm hearing.
It wasn't me.
No, huh? Well, they got licence numbers.
They're whores.
So no big deal? I heard your Sadie's been doing some rough treat herself at the high school.
You put your son up to that, Ron? Sadie's what I would call a young entrepreneur.
I hear she's Ray Junior's slut.
Sleeping with the son, and the father.
Hell, I'd be looking around for a holy freaking ghost.
It will all come out at the trial.
Argh! Hey, hey! Easy, easy! Mike, what are you doing? Take it easy! Let's take a walk.
Come on.
Sadie told me what you did.
How could you? I tried to tell her I was sorry but .
.
she can't forgive me.
Why should she? The most important thing is to have remorse and I do.
It's written on my skin.
I wanted to die, Raymond.
It's the right punishment for what I did.
Prager.
Time's up.
Dad.
I love you.
I love you too, Raymond.
This place always gave me the creeps.
It still gives me the creeps.
So what's this cold case, Mike? Lissie Alexie.
Long brown hair, you remember? You think those guys had something to do with it? Maybe.
You got a body? I've got a feeling we're getting close.
Got some stray hairs.
See what forensics says.
The law says no body, no crime.
Is Sadie going to be OK testifying? The way those boys are harassing her Sadie wants to see justice done.
For the sake of justice, I don't know how you can let her go up there.
What are you saying to me? You're her father.
And what? Say it.
Why? So you can punch my lights out? Look, Mike, I'm just saying, I know I've got no right to.
Shut up, right, just shut up.
So, Maddie, is Sadie still at home? I don't know, I was at Bible study.
Sadie is like the prodigal son except she's a girl.
What do you mean? You like her more than me.
OK.
Maddie, come on.
Come on.
All right, what do you think? This is some kind of event, huh? I think that sometimes you're a really bad father.
I cried myself to sleep last night.
I could've come over, even if you were busy.
Work's just been crazy.
I'm sorry.
Cameron broke up with Mummy.
Really? She was really upset so I invited her to our picnic.
There she is.
The chocolates you sent made Mummy sick.
I never sent Mummy chocolates.
Yes, you did.
You sent them to the ER.
It had a card on them that said, "Dearest Audrey, I love you.
Mike.
" That's very sweet.
When I was in the hospital I had a dream, Pen Verrity came and stole your chocolates.
It's very Freudian.
It's OK, I'm here now.
Bonnie Verrity's autopsy results.
The saline levels in the major organs were extremely high.
The urine sodium from the ER, that was through the roof.
The last test we do is the pituitary.
Bonnie Verrity wasn't poisoned.
She was hypernatremic.
She had salt diabetes.
She was sick.
Very, very sick.
Damn it! I've never been more certain of anything in my life.
She was sick.
Yeah.
Your girlfriend's off the hook.
I'll meet you back at the precinct.
She wasn't poisoned.
She was sick.
You were a very sick little girl.
Your mother didn't take you to the hospital.
She's got to drink.
She's fine.
She's thirsty.
She doesn't need anything.
Look at her, for Christ sake! Look at her! I told you, she doesn't need anything.
It should've been you, Penelope, it should've been you at the bottom of the sea.
You stupid girl.
Stupid girl.
It should've been you at the bottom of the sea.
Stupid girl.
Stupid! Oh! Oh! Oh, sweetie, come on! Oh! Sadie, this is important, I need you to stay away from Dr Verrity.
I love you.
You have a chronology for Jonathan Verrity? Surveillance from the motel.
Jonathan was there from four o'clock on.
Pen got in around eight.
Coroner got a time of death for Molly Crocker? Late afternoon.
That gives her time.
Witness at the day care saw a woman go into Molly Crocker's house mid-afternoon.
The car she described matches Pen's.
So this will be your statement, Raymond.
This is a legal document that's going to court.
My dad, he said he helped you look for the guy who killed those girls.
Yeah, he gave us a description, make of the car.
He knows what he did.
He's sorry.
He is, he's sorry.
Tom's going to take your statement, Raymond.
Mike, I can do it.
Maybe make him change his mind.
No, I want you to go to the lockdown and you tell Ray that we have Lissie Alexie's body.
What, where? Just tell him.
Is this a bluff? No, it isn't.
Pen, I've got a report you need to look at.
Ray Junior's testimony documents his father's alcohol and pharmaceutical abuse.
He was taking antidepressants, he stopped.
That kind of testimony erodes the prosecution's proof of intent.
Makes the murderer the victim.
Sadie was supposed to see the prosecutor today, she didn't go.
Haven't you heard from her? I got a text message.
You were the last one to see her.
I told you, I can talk to her for you.
No, I'll wait it out.
Let her cool off.
She's pissed at me.
I went to the morgue.
We got Bonnie's autopsy report today.
Did you know she had salt diabetes? She had a fever, I told you.
You have no idea what it is like having an autistic child because they cannot tell you.
The pathologist said she was very sick.
She was a very sick little girl.
Molly said she was sick and dizzy when she fell down the stairs.
That's not true, they made that up, Molly and Jonathan, they made that up.
Mike, I need to ask you a question, and I need you to tell me the truth.
Sadie thinks you killed that girl.
She showed me the file and the braid and Ray said that you were there.
Did you? I watched you hurt Ella Day.
I saw you break her bones.
That wasn't the same thing.
That's not the same thing at all.
But you were angry at Audrey that day.
It was Audrey you wanted to hurt, Ella just happened to be there instead, right? So you lied for me? It's OK.
It's OK if you killed her.
Do you understand what I'm saying? I understand how it could happen.
My friend.
I'm not your friend.
Yes, you are, Glennie.
You proved yourself.
He's your son.
You're using him.
I'm his father.
You're a piece or shit! Hey, hey, hey! Screw you! Screw you! You're my man on the outside.
Maybe I don't give a shit, huh? Maybe I'm a loose goddamn cannon, huh? Mike found Lissie's body at the farm.
Did he? He knows.
He knows shit.
You tell him what I told you to tell him.
No body, no crime.
What about Sadie, her testimony? What's happening there? Ask your friend Ron.
Glenn.
What did he say? Nothing.
It didn't faze him.
It was worth a try, I guess, huh? He's going to be surprised.
So, you gonna let me in on this? Soon.
I'm not one of Ray's guys.
Listen, Mike, what happened before, what I said Pen, you were upset, all right, I understand.
I've got to get back to work, OK? I'll call you when I get back.
I like you.
You know that? I do.
No, you don't.
I do! I do! You ticklish? No.
No? I love that.
I think you are.
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
There's some stuff I need to talk to you about.
When you were sick No.
Let's I'm sorry for everything I've put you through.
You were sick and you needed me and I wasn't there for you.
I was just a self-absorbed son of a bitch.
I'm so sorry for dumping the kids on you and .
.
playing the good guy.
I'm just so sorry.
OK.
I'm going to make it up to you.
I'm going to make it up to you and Maddie.
And to Sadie.
You're really worried about her? Her curfew's not till 11.
She's going to turn up right on the dot just to piss you off.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
You're probably right.
I'll take you home.
OK.
Oh, it's dark out.
You feeling better? I'm thirsty.
Sadie, everything's going to be OK.
You're so brave.
You're braver than I'll ever be.
I have to go to Tom.
You've reached me, Sadie Sweeney.
Leave a message.
Sadie, for Christ sake, call me back.
Before I panic.
It should've been you, Penelope.
It should've been you at the bottom of the sea, you stupid girl.
Stupid girl.
You stupid girl.
Argh! Where we at? Patrols are out.
They're looking for her already.
Let's stash an unmarked for us.
If she's on the street, we'll find her.
We'd better freaking find her.
Let's go.
Audrey, I'm out looking for her.
Let me know if she calls.
Where are you going, Miss? I'm just going home to my mother's.
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
Hold still! Hold still! You're not getting on that stand, Sadie! Something bad is going to happen.
You're not getting up there because you're going to smarten up, right? Ugh! You keep your goddamn mouth shut! Run! Run! Run, run! What the freak are you doing, huh? It's enough! Enough! Ray said that you raped a girl on the farm.
Did you know her? Lissie? She's dead, isn't she? You lied to me.
Mikey.
Dad? Where's the body? Where's the goddamn body? You'd better start fucking digging because that's the next thing I'm going to do.
Oh, my God! No.
Dad, did you know Lissie? No.
He knew her.
He knew her real well.
He was with me at the farm.
I had them on their back whether they wanted to be or not.
Sadie, I was never at the farm.
Is she here? No! Is my daughter here? Is she here?! How the fuck should I know?! Tom, you have to come to the farm, but you can't call my dad.
He's here.
He killed a girl.
I have proof.
Sadie.
Sadie?
