Sherwood (2022) s02e05 Episode Script

1
This programme contains very strong
language and some violent scenes
We're going to have to ask you to, erm,
record them making a confession.
Wear a wire?
One of us?
You're a liar.
There's a difference
between a secret and a lie.
You've never told Mickey,
though, have you?
Listen, it's no good sat
there in the soil, is it?
Sherwood Forest ain't givin'
out interest rates.
Going to take this treasure,
going to make it grow, all right?
The last drink I had was with
Denis Bottomley.
We're still good on that, right?
Yeah.
She has Government documents
alleging that you went about
Nottinghamshire in the '80s
under a code name, doing the
Government's bidding.
Just run this by Ian St Clair, please.
We are basically the same, you and me.
Sort of tethered together now.
I go down, you do down.
LOCK CLICKS
SIGHS
Well, I never.
That's seen better days.
Are you talking about me or the gun?
You were always in my ear
to "get that bloody thing
out of this house".
What's changed?
The Bransons are what's changed.
They know summat's up.
Don't trust us no more.
I'm not taking any chances.
BREATHES SHAKILY
- God, I hate these things.
- Here.
Might not even fire. Rusty as shit.
You talking about me or the gun?
GUNSHO
Oh, my God.
DOG BARKS IN BACKGROUND
VENTILATOR WHIRS
I need a couple of officers on rotation
at the Royal Kings Hospital.
No, I-I understand we're pushed
for numbers.
There's been a suspected
attempted murder
on a politician,
So so I need this treated
at the highest threat level.
We're pulling the CCTV from reception
for anyone who came and went,
last 48 hours.
Right. Oh, good.
You don't think it's something,
just to say it, that she could
have taken herself?
Drugs. Pills. You know,
addiction. We've both seen it.
No. No, I can't, er I can't see it.
No, I were working with her
on my new job, you know,
my other job, and, er
Well, she's my friend, so
Oh.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah.
TRAFFIC RUMBLES
EXHALES
Are you, er all right, or?
Yeah.
Just starting to wonder
what fucking good I'm doing
back here, though.
JACKET CLANGS ON BAR
I mean, look what's happened.
Jesus.
Lisa was the one
most opposed to this new pit,
her and Sandy, and she'd been
getting threats
and someone had graffitied on her door.
And you think someone
would kill her, for that?
They haven't killed her.
Maybe they didn't mean to.
Maybe, you know,
it were just a warning.
You think that, as opposed to
something to do
with Ryan Bottomley, drugs,
well, the Bransons, even?
- Well, whatever
- All coming at the same time?
there's going to be a media
circus descending on this place.
"Sheriff of Nottingham poisoned" -
they'll love a story like that,
won't they? Myths and legends.
It'll be just like last time,
and all that "Shottingham"
crap, remember?
The comms team need a clear strategy.
Well, you handled that, got
ahead of the, erm, whatsit
narrative then, turned
things around, so
No, no. I can't do it, mate.
No, I've left the force.
Now, if I'm going to go
back to the community
after this is over,
and You know,
I can't be the face of it.
All right? You've got this.
BIRDS CHIRP
RUSTLING
WOLF WHISTLES
Who's your boyfriend?
Fuck off.
Police paying to protect you now, yeah?
Ann's idea.
Yeah, I heard
Look, about your Nicky I, er
You know.
But is it true, about your Kyre?
Doing that brother and sister
in on the coast?
Because if it is,
that's fucking cold, man.
And it's not going down too well
on the streets.
Yeah, well, someone done our
Kyre in return, didn't they?
So it's all just
a horrible fucking game.
Pass the bloody parcel, in't it?
What's t'word out there?
Uh. "Tense" would be a word.
"Jittery" is a word.
People getting tooled up,
guns in, getting fucking ready.
Yeah, and I got all our lot hunkered
down at ours, out of action.
Meanwhile, I'm hearing things.
Troubling things.
Different folk seeing
an opportunity to muscle in,
take advantage. I'm not happy.
Right. We done OK over t'years,
- us and your lot, yeah?
- Mm-hm.
Here and there,
- helped each other out.
- Yeah.
I need a couple of things.
In this order.
Number one, find out
who's moving in on our patch,
put 'em down.
From here on in, we can
split it down t'middle, 50-50.
Huh?
Yeah.
Huh?"
Number two, it would matter
ever so much to me
to find out which cunt killed our Kyre.
I don't know fuck-all about that.
Lastly and, to me,
this is a long-term project,
not a priority, but if Ann ever asks,
I put this at one, not three -
the Sparrows.
- What about the Sparrows?
- Can you help?
What do you mean by "help"?
Nah, you've got to be
fucking joking me.
Why?
Cos I asked.
You know, it's like what
your Kyre did. Bottomleys.
Things have got to be done
in a certain way, haven't they?
And the Sparrows, right
never had a fucking problem
with 'em.
- They've always shown me respect.
- Fuck off! Bollocks!
They fucking grassed.
To these scum.
You don't think I don't wish
we lived in some age of honour
and the like?
Yeah, that'd be lovely, that.
I'd really like that. I always have.
But we don't. We live here, now.
That's all dead. Everything,
it's all fucking dead.
Ta for coming out.
Give my regards to
Oh, you know, who-the-fuck-ever.
BRAKES SQUEAK
BELL TINKLES
- What you sayin'? You all right?
- Yeah.
- Nice one, bro.
- Cheers.
Lisa's hurt.
It's on the news.
Yeah, I saw. Mad.
We only saw her yesterday.
Mm. And she was fine then, so
I want to call Ryan.
We don't call Ryan. All right, Steph?
Ryan calls us. It's just the way it is.
He has a phone. I want to call.
What did I just fucking say?!
RINGING TONE
Shit.
Mornin'.
Nothing's come through.
You said these people of yours
would start sending money through.
- Well, I just checked
- I know.
Yeah, I know.
It takes time, don't it? Um
I've not heard either.
You must, er
must think I'm a right clown, eh?
Listen, honest, mate,
you can trust 'em.
How am I going to get away with it
if the money don't come in? Hmm?
Can't exactly Can't exactly
be hiding anywhere in here,
can I?
I want to speak to 'em mesen.
All right. Yeah, I'll set that up.
All right.
- Dad, the sheriff
- Yeah, I know.
Fuck!
We should tell the police
we met with her.
Let's just see how this pans out.
They're going to find out anyway.
What happened to the file
she's got about me?
- You should have told me.
- Do I know everything
about everything you've ever done?
And that's not an invitation
to tell me -
I don't want to know.
You worked undercover
for the Government?
Yeah, a million years ago.
CHUCKLES
Think of it as National Service.
It affects me.
The ground I stand on,
come from, I don't know
The things I'm building with you,
that we're building together,
if that's all based on some
Oh, enough! Come on!
We had a helping hand now and again,
you know, some friendly
access, first-in-the-queue
sort of thing.
You know, I got used to the other lies
that came out of the woodwork
time and time again,
the half-brothers and -sisters
from various women turning up,
demanding answers, help.
Me taking that on alone sometimes,
embarrassed, not even telling you.
The hand-outs, the pay-outs,
the slicing off another piece
of my pie in the company,
of my own inheritance.
But what am I inheriting?
What do I really know
about any of this?
That you're my son.
My eldest.
My.. heir.
Am I?

PEOPLE SHOUT QUESTIONS
VOICES FADE
INAUDIBLE
that there is no danger
to the public at large.
This seems to be an isolated incident
involving, yes, a prominent
figure locally,
but Mrs Waters is in a stable condition
and receiving the best care.
DCS Summers, though,
will brief you on the details
of the investigation as it stands.
Er, good morning. Er
Erm
If you could all just excuse me
for one moment, please.
PEOPLE MURMUR
BREATHES QUICKLY
BREATHES HEAVILY
Harry, hey, come on,
it's your first time.
It's big stuff, this.
All right? You all right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Good. Come on.
I'm not.
What?
I'm not OK. Sorry.
Y'know, all this has, erm
got in my head, and, er
Course. Course it has.
DOOR OPENS
What is going on?!
It's just, er, we're just going
through everything, you know,
just getting the messaging right.
The right message is
for the SIO not to walk
- out of the bloody briefing!
- Ma'am, just give us
a minute, will you? You know,
they're not going anywhere.
- Harry?
- Jen
please.
JEN SIGHS
Hey.
I wake with these, like,
er, terrors
like, er, screaming
in the night. You ever heard of that?
Yeah.
And, erm
Harry, look, you lost someone
close to you, so remember that.
I messed up.
I went to the Bottomley safe house
the night before they were killed.
I drank there
passed out, slept overnight.
I, er
I keep thinking, did I lead
the Bransons to them?
I mean, how did they find the house?
How?
But I'm going to be OK, lan, I am.
I know.
But this
it's too important to get wrong.
SIGHS
Please, lan.
CHATTER
EXHALES
There is currently no evidence
to connect what happened to Lisa Waters
with the ongoing investigation
into gang-related killings
except, erm
well, except to say that
nothing happens in a vacuum.
There is such a thing
as a mood or a culture
that is hard to see
hard to define
but it can grip a place.
I saw it, the last time
many of you graced us
with your presence.
The Ashfield murders a few years back.
And there was, at that time,
a clamour to find the "why" of it all,
you know, a connection,
when there wasn't any.
All there was was a story.
And that took root and gained traction
and was shared online endlessly
and was reported by many of you.
And that caused
panic and mistrust.
And that's what I'm trying
Well, that's what we're trying
to avoid today.
But with those Ashfield killings,
you had to bring outside help in,
you had to bring in the Met.
People are, you know, understandably
invoking comparisons with the past -
outbreaks of violence and murder,
the Shottingham days.
So isn't that the real question?
What's your question? Go on, ask it.
Have you lost control?
No, we are in control.
The situation is under control.
Thank you.
We're not going back.
We're not going back to that.
There's a lot of hard work and sacrifice
made by many people - yeah, the police,
of course, but also
campaigners and community
leaders and just normal people
to turn this around
and say, "No. No more."
And it worked.
It stopped
because we had faith in one another
and we worked together.
But that fear is back now.
I can see it and I can feel it,
and I would ask people
not to give in to it.
We need people to step forward now.
And this whatever,
you know, culture or
code of not grassing,
we are way beyond that now.
And I know people have lost faith in
in institutions and leaders, and in
the police in particular.
I know that because I've lost faith
in them, an' all.
They're going to have to work
hard to get that faith back.
- But, DCS St Clair, you're
- I'm not a DCS.
I'm no longer on this force.
So I am talking to you as someone
who lives in this community.
And we have to all start
taking responsibility
to say no to this fear that's
dividing us and making us
lock our doors and bury
our heads and say nothing.
Now, we were brave last time,
and we need to be brave again,
so I am appealing to anyone who
has information to come forward.
Help us.
Ta.
Thank you.
MURMURING
- What the hell?
- What? What did I say?
- How is that going to instil confidence
- What part of what I said was untrue?
if we're not united on the message,
on the strategy, lan?!
You know, he was right
in there, that guy.
And you, you didn't tell the truth.
- About what?!
- We have lost control.
And, you know, if we don't admit
that, we will never get it back.
Right now, we are not
in control of this situation.
No. That was reckless and stupid
and, actually, fucking selfish.
- Selfish?
- Yes.
Virtue signalling on a pulpit,
making this about you and your shit,
when, actually, what people
needed was calm.
I am here on a voluntary basis.
Now, if you don't want
my experience or expertise,
then fine. But there's
one thing I won't do any more,
and that is bullshit people.
HUSHED: You'll watch
your tone, DCS St Clair.
Ian!
BREATHES HEAVILY
Christ, what's this now?
Corporate business travel,
to go along with the taxis.
This new pit, when it goes through,
the conveyor belt of suits
coming in and out,
we can get in on the action,
secure a private contract
with the developers.
Oh, aye? Energy magnates move
in your lowly circles now, do they?
Got a meeting today, as it goes.
How much did it set you back?
Cos they ripped you off,
whatever you paid.
You never stop having a go, do you?
Suddenly flush with cash, are you?
I've got a bit put aside.
Uh-huh.
So what happened to
running everything by us, as a family?
Yeah, what happened, Dad?
What happened to that?
You going off I can't even
get me head round it, still.
Working with the fucking
fuzz, squealing.
Did anyone listen to me about that?
No. And that worked out great,
didn't it?
So maybe people should listen to me.
Maybe Maybe people
should trust me a bit more.
Maybe I do know what's best
for all of us.
Your mum don't want you
or Ronan going off anywhere.
Stay here. It's not safe at the minute.
All right, thanks.
Hey.
That CCTV footage from
the City Hall, can you pull it up?
Harry?
Franklin Warner. He's been pushing hard
for this new pit. Do you think that
could be him?
Erm
Yeah, maybe.
But given Lisa's position, I mean
that's not an unusual meeting
for her to have it?
No, but
I've got to go and see someone.
- Are you taking that evidence?
- Yeah.
I'm going to make copies,
though. All right?
I mean, hey, you do you.
Thanks. I'll bring it back.
- Shall we bring Warner in?
- No, no, I wouldn't,
not yet. It's just, erm
I need to get more information.
From a source.
- Yeah, sure.
- Thanks.
Oi! Trespassing!
Not a bad spot for your
solar panels, eh?
Er, yeah. Yeah.
I see what you mean. Good sun coverage.
Quite the available land
you've got here.
Might be available,
depending on the terms.
You used to farm cattle here?
Previous lot did, way back when.
My family, we, er, diversified.
So I'm led to believe.
Well, the other farms that have leased
who are renewable developers
each get about a grand
per acreage of rent.
I know. That's the bare minimum.
That's the maximum going rate
for a plot of land like this.
I don't have to hand over diddly-squat.
My family's land to some
trust fund wanker
for minimum rent per year?
I want in on the PPA.
PPA? Wow!
Someone's been googling.
Yeah.
That's the price you'll sell the energy
from here to the utilities company,
which, if I'm not mistaken
is also you.
And your family would agree?
Your father?
Yeah. I'll get him to see the light.
Pardon the pun.
Yeah, summat else I want to talk
to you about,
at a later date.
Ooh! A card!
You must be important.
Hmm! Corporate travel.
Building up a fleet of minibuses.
I don't get you.
You want to be the big cheese
in the dodgy underworld
and you want to turn legit?
Which is it?
What do you know about the underworld?
I know who the Sparrows are.
Why not both? How's that
any different from you?
Except you do it in a suit.
Bending the rules cos you know
you can get away with it,
using all your influence and power.
That isn't me.
I refuse to let all that be me.
We're all born to fucking
people and places, aren't we?
And this'd be a smart use
of what you've been born to.
My father, he has this thing -
geography and destiny.
I think, "Make your own destiny."
We ain't tied to nothing.
Certainly not the luck
of the draw you're born with.
All this?
It's going to help me get out
of all the other stuff.
And then
world and oysters, then, eh?
Energy.
Rarrr!
Let there be light!
The fuck's that? School project?
Someone sent this to Lisa Waters
in an unmarked envelope.
Was it you?
No. Don't know the girl. What is it?
What the hell do you want?
You know him.
Why won't you stop?
Stop tormenting me.
All this? No. Not here, lan.
So where is everyone?
Mickey's out in the yard, Rory's off
in a field somewhere,
and Ronan's right upstairs.
Yeah, well, he already knows
about your past, doesn't he? So
Come on, Daphne.
Look
Is this true? Huh?
Franklin Warner -
he were here back then,
like you, under a pseudonym,
working directly for the Government?
- Did he lead your team?
- No, he didn't lead anything.
We had our own chain of command.
But he was around.
Yeah, we were the police. He was
something else. He had money,
got things done.
Some of the information
I got on people,
he found some of that useful.
The militant miners and
the ones keen to break away.
And you've had no contact
with him since?
Not for decades. And the last
contact was not a happy one.
So you're telling me this isn't you?
I mean, you're the only one
round here who knew who he was.
No.
Why would I? Why?
You know, there's three sets
of prints on this file.
Now, one's obviously Lisa's,
but the other two we can't identify.
We don't have them on the system, so
Well, you'll have my prints on file.
Actually, you're the one Sparrow
that we don't.
Not Daphne Sparrow.
Jane Jones, as a Met Police officer.
You'll have 'em, so fucking check 'em.
SIGHS
I didn't send all this.
Why why would I want
to open all this up?
Al right. I'm sorry, I just
I just Do you think he could
be stupid enough to do this?
You know, to harm someone,
try and kill them
just to keep this hidden?
I mean, how well did you know him?
What was your relationship?
No. No, no. No, no. Enough. No.
I've I've got to talk
to someone else first.
You can't be the first
to know all this.
- My family, they
- Look, I need to know.
I'm going to bring him in
for questioning, aren't I?
SCOFFS
Do what you like.
You said it'd be over.
Last time you sat there,
you promised all of this'd stop.
SIGHS
Just go on. Just get out.
RAGGED BREATHING
Here.
Last number called.
That's them. They'll like, whatever,
confirm your money's safe.
Used some to buy some new stock,
but the rest, they've started
to transfer over.
Yeah?
All right. I'll keep a watch out.
RINGING TONE
I'm sorry, the person
you've called is not available.
Please leave a message
SCOFFS
Fucking dickhead!
That's your second strike, mate.
Fucking 'ell! You fucking bastard!
Get 'ere, you fucking prick!
Come on, I'll have yer!
Get off me! Fucking get off me.
This in't fair!
In't fucking fair!
I'll fucking kill you, prick!
Fuck off! What you looking at?
JEERING AND WHISTLING
What now?
Get charged. Another couple
of years on his sentence.
For now, they'll just transfer
him to another wing.
So, er,
you wanting to make this
an official arrangement, then?
Intel pays, you know.
We have it.
- Lisa's toxicology report.
- Go on.
Synthetic cannabinoids, or spice.
Liquid spice. You soak something in it,
inhale or smoke it.
And she took this herself, the spice?
Or are we thinking it was slipped
into her drink, her food?
Her vape pen. Well, the
reusable cartridge.
The normal over-the-counter liquid
was replaced with the cut-up substances
that caused Lisa to collapse.
And you think Franklin Warner
can get his hands
on this kind of stuff? Street drugs?
Maybe he knows someone who could.
Or the son does.
Either way, we should bring
Warner in for questioning.
In the meantime, we're pulling
our intel from our respective cases.
Every gang or group
who has access to or specialises in K2.
We're pulling in
all of our undercovers,
informants, everyone.
If it's a gang that's
on our radar, we'll find them.
Soz
about earlier.
I know it's hard not having him about.
Ryan.
I, er
miss my brother, an' all.
So
He got banged up, too.
So I know.
Is he still there?
No.
SNIFFS
Nope.
Look
Ryan's in charge. Right?
Well, he's not here,
so I'm in charge.
So just do as you're told.
OK?
All right.
- Hiya.
- Hi.
Still not back at work?
No, I just, um, couldn't
They're very good on that
at the station -
mental health days and all that.
Mm. More like mental health week.
Yeah, well
Er So, erm
It didn't work with the police?
The Bransons are still
They're saying my statement's
not enough.
I am not, apparently,
a paragon of fuckin' virtue.
Well, erm, it's good
you're here, cos I, erm
When you're ready
When I came round to your home,
I just
I got this real urge
to spend some more time
round there, where you and
You know, with you,
if possible. It's just
I don't think that's out of order,
given the way that we've been
thrown together. It's not
the normal mother-daugh
This is not the normal way
to meet your family.
You started asking me a couple
of days ago about your
your dad.
And I think some
some stuff's going to come out,
so I thought I'd better
Franklin Warner -
do you know who that is?
What?
No Oh, that?
What, the business family?
Him?!
How did that?
It's a long story.
Do you mind?
Well, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I do a bit. Jamie would.
But, go.
LIGHTER CLICKS
This is my
previous life.
My previous everything.
Erm
And this is why
SIGHS ..I really struggled to keep you.
This living, breathing reminder of
I didn't I
In my head, knowing
where you'd come from
from him
Warner
The very worst of all that.
All them.
I hope you don't mind me bringing
some of my representatives with me.
One solicitor only, please.
Ah!
Is this political?
Er, what what happened
to Mrs Waters?
I don't know. You tell me.
No, no, is THIS political?
Here. Now.
Mr Warner, we've been given information
about your past associations,
you know, with the Government
and Secret Service.
Unofficial.
Very casual, ad hoc, you know.
And you're aware that Lisa Waters
was also privy to this information?
Lisa Waters? No.
Sorry, no?
You had a meeting with her yesterday.
We have CCTV of you waiting in the
lobby at City Hall.
You head up, come back
six minutes later.
It was an aborted meeting.
We tried to speak with her,
but she was busy
doing something else,
so we sat outside.
We waited a while, and then we left.
Very rude, actually, if you ask me.
So there was no conversation?
She didn't reveal to you
that she knew about your past?
No.
Right, because if she had,
I mean, that
could constitute, erm
motive.
LAUGHS
Oh, my God! Behold the finest
minds of the public sector!
Oh, come on! What, you honestly
think that I would think
that I'd get away with this?
That it wouldn't come back to me?
She's been getting email threats
because of her stance
against your project.
Ah. Oh, dear, how awful for her.
But then, passions are high, I get it.
The cigarette.
Roy had her blood on his fingers.
The fucking cigarette.
PHONE RINGS
Daphne?
Find!
So what's this? You caught whoever
killed Kyre?
Or have you all been distracted
by a pretty blonde girl
having a stomach-ache?
Roy Branson, Ann Branson
I'm arresting you for the murders
of Denis Bottomley and Pam Bottomley.
You do not have to say
anything, but it may
harm your def
Lawyer.
- Now.
- Of course.
Let me finish my bit first,
though, because
I've been waiting a very long
time to say it to you.
SCOFFS
It may harm your defence
if you do not mention when questioned
something you later rely on in court.
Anything you do say
may be given in evidence.
Very, very nicely done.
Thank you.
All right, let's go. Come on.
It's this way.
Confident we'll make that one stick?
When it comes to the Bransons
So we can breathe, then.
All OK?
It was Rachel. She, erm
She remembered the
I went to see her today.
So that's, like, a thing, is it?
You want that to be a thing? Her?
I've got something to tell you.
EXHALES
I'm not
When I first came here
I wasn't me.
I had a different name
was a different person,
not who I am now.
Daphne
was a name that was given
to me by
my work
bosses
horrible people that did
horrible things and
SIGHS ..maybe illegal.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
And I wasn't proud
of what I was doing, but
when I met you, Mickey
I wanted that to be my life.
You know, the person I was
when I was with you.
Because it wasn't an act
any more. It was real.
You know, even though the name was
Those feelings
Fuck me, I've never known
anything more real.
I swear.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry.
I'm sorry that I've kept this from you.
I'm sorry.

Do you think I'm fucking stupid?
When I first saw you,
I saw a girl who I knew -
I knew had a whole fucking universe
of a past
of problems that she was
trying to get away from.
I knew that, right?
Because I had that.
I wanted to be someone else,
be something.
Right?
That's all we're talking about,
in't it?
Well, no. I mean, this this
And you remember Listen,
you remember when you told me
that you was expecting,
and I said to you, and I
meant it, that I'd step up.
Right? You remember?
And when that beautiful girl
was born and
I could see your struggle
I never questioned
for a second what you asked for,
what you wanted, because I knew
not the details, but that you
needed to be free of something
so big.
So don't you tell me
that I don't know, right?
Because I know who you are,
who I married.
I've always known.
OK?
But
I'm the
police.
I reckon we'll leave it there for now.
And tomorrow we'll go back
to planning our trip.
There's more to unravel..
like why it's taken so long
for you to
But that's for the road.
The long road.
Right?

Mwah! Bloody hell!
I never thought this day'd come.
Don't get ahead of yourself.
This is good, though, innit?
Like, a good day.
What this is, is a day
of half a dozen bookings.
That wedding at Newstead Abbey.
Right? So come on, crack on.
And, Ronan, I still want you
nearby. Join your brother.
- See you in a bit.
- Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hiya.
Thanks for coming.
It's OK.
I, um I heard about the arrest.
I was kind of hoping
that would be it.
No, I'm afraid that,
well, in the fullness of time,
I think we're going to have to
get you to make a statement
yourself, you know, in addition
to, well, to to Daphne.
Me? I thought you had enough,
with the cigarette.
Well, that's Roy bang to
rights. But Ann, you know,
we're going to have to get you
to say that you saw her,
that you were down at the coast
and that she was part
of a conspiracy to murder.
OK.
Thanks.

Oh, sorry.
Harry?
Ian. Sorry, I thought I should
let you know. Bad news.
Their smarmy lawyer and the CPS.
- The Warners.
- No. The Bransons.
The charge will stick with Roy.
We have his DNA and the
Bottomleys' blood, but
he's saying he acted alone.
We have no evidence Ann was there, Ian.
No, no, look, look,
I'm with Rachel now,
and she says she's willing to make a
statement, so we've got her.
I'm sorry, mate. I did what I could.
She's been released.
What? When? Where is she?
No idea. We've had to drop
the protection officers.
Yeah, all right. Look,
I'll get back to you.

They haven't got enough evidence

We, er
We don't know.
We need to go.

We need to get out.
