Waking the Dead (2000) s02e07 Episode Script
Thin Air: Part 1
WOMAN: 'David!' Smile! 'Here, come on, we can get you in this.
'Joanna! 'Joanna?' Ice cream! It's It's not over yet, Spence.
It's a young man's game, sir.
Is that supposed to make me feel better? KNOCK ON GLASS This had better be important.
I was beating Spence ragged.
Then you woke up! What is this place? There's Anyone who rents here has something to hide! What happened? A pipe burst.
The caretaker got the fire brigade.
They found something, got the police.
Good for them.
What's it to do with us? It's about Joanna Gold.
Joanna Gold! The one who disappeared in the park? Hampstead Heath, broad daylight.
1989.
I was doing my GCSEs.
I was a probationer.
Count yourself lucky.
Half the Met was out looking.
We searched every bush, gutter and bin in North London.
Found nothing.
Boyd.
This was in the drawer.
Christ.
Is that blood? Yeah.
We'll check it against Joanna Gold's DNA.
The commissioner's here.
Thank you.
You're sweating, Boyd.
I've been playing squash, sir.
Listen, I don't want you to misinterpret my presence, but I'm chairman of the Joanna Gold Trust.
I just thought you ought to know.
I did.
Remarkable couple, the Golds.
Thirteen years they've been waiting.
How could she just vanish? It hasn't been confirmed that it is Joanna's dress yet, sir.
If we can't give that family justice, we may as well pack up and go home.
I think I should be getting back.
So who is this guy? The unit's rented to a John White, Alice House, Gryphon Road, Battersea.
The LIO says it's not an address.
And he's not Mr White.
Alice In Wonderland - gryphon, white rabbit.
Alice fell down a hole When did he first rent this? 1985.
Four years before she went missing.
What've you got, Spence? Arts and crafts magazines from the '70s.
No bank statements, letters, bills to tell us who this guy is? Nothing.
These windows and doors are missing.
These could be professional.
Huh? Like a production line interrupted.
This layer of carbon dust indicates exposure to fire.
Your interruption.
Will the firemen keep quiet? Forget it.
The Press'll have it in 24 hours.
Mel, check dolls-house manufacturers from the mid-'80s.
Spence - fire records, Hampstead, 1985 onward.
Drag people out of bed, bang heads.
Someone get the Joanna Gold video.
.
.
And what's the deal with that unit? Ice cream! OK, brilliant.
Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers.
Bye.
Boyd, the manager never saw anyone go in or out of that unit.
Thanks.
Thanks.
What've you got? Two sets of prints from the unit.
One set distributed much more widely.
Mr White's? Checking the database.
No luck yet.
Second set? Mainly on the magazines and dolls' houses.
They're smaller.
A woman's? Or a child's.
.
.
Hi Grace.
Mind telling me what this is? .
.
The DNA? It'll give the sex, not the age.
It could be Joanna's? Theoretically.
Spence said Joanna Gold Yes.
.
.
You could match DNA on the dress? Boyd, give me a chance! Why DID you get me out of bed? See this? I want a profile of the owner.
Soon.
I'll need all the files Just do as I ask! Just once.
Now? She disappeared on to him, he'll disappear forever.
I can't profile Mr White based on the contents of his room.
Give me what you can.
Only the dress mattered.
The rest is filthy.
Even the dolls' houses? Especially them.
Why pay to store them? Guilt? They meant nothing to him but did to somebody else? The dress is different.
Even the sheet over it is new.
His trophy? You could argue it's respect.
Reverence, even.
You're saying he's not the killer? .
.
I'm SAYING we don't know she's even dead.
Say she is.
Then I reserve judgement.
It's what she was wearing when she disappeared.
It's covered in blood.
We've got something.
Chimneys and staircases are teak.
You can't use teak any more.
It's an endangered species, but there are still lots of varieties.
Those balloon shapes, tyloses, vary in structure between sub-species.
I woke a friend, e-mailed him a slide.
It's South Korean.
Importers of teak must register with the DTI.
According to their website, only three companies import Korean teak.
Only one supplies to a specialist in repro antique toys - Lamb & Sons.
Mr Lamb? Detective Constable Silver.
I'm sorry if I woke you.
Can you let me in? It's quite urgent.
Sorry to have woken you.
I was just wondering if you'd be kind enough to look at this for me.
What can you tell me about it? Well, the chimney gives it away.
Designed so the child could open one half of the roof and fold it back on the other.
Makes a solid top, you see? Do you know who made it? Certainly I do.
What's his name? It was a she.
Mary Garvey.
She had a little toy factory in her house.
I'll need an address, please.
You'll find her in Highgate Cemetery.
She died in a house fire Did she have any family? A son.
He survived the fire.
OK Excuse me one second, please.
Boyd, I've got a name.
Garvey Spence, I've arrived, so as soon as you can, OK? DOORBELL RINGS I understand a Mary Garvey used to live here.
Yeah.
I'm her son.
What's up? May I come in? What's your name? Alec.
I was just making some tea.
Do you want some? No, thank you.
What is it you want? You don't rent a storage facility, do you, Alec? KETTLE WHISTLES No.
No, I don't.
What about in another name? Maybe John White? KETTLE STILL WHISTLING GARVEY! SPENCE! Do you rent a storage unit in Dagenham in the name of John White? John White of Alice House, Gryphon Road, Battersea.
Answer the question.
Yes.
Why do you use a false name and address? Is it anything to do .
.
with this? COMPUTER BLEEPS (Yes!) We believe it belonged to Joanna Gold.
You do know who Joanna Gold is, don't you? I read about her.
Perhaps you could tell us how you came to have Joanna Gold's dress.
Got a result.
He's Mr White and has three convictions for stalking young women.
'94, '97 and '99.
Last time, he spent six months in Pentonville.
I found it.
You found it(?) On the Heath.
Whereabouts? It's a big place.
At the bottom of the hill.
It was in a plastic bag.
Really? A blue plastic bag.
Was that after the hand search by 70 police officers? This was AFTER she went missing.
I-I didn't know the dress was hers.
Peter.
A word? I'm in the middle of an interview, sir.
I don't think he's leaving, eh? You seem to be making progress.
So far, yes.
Have you contacted the Golds? Well, he's here voluntarily, sir.
He's not under arrest.
Well, arrest him, for God's sake.
Make it official.
I'll handle the Golds and the media.
You focus on our friend.
Congratulations, Boyd.
Sir.
Let's see? He's kept his mother's things the whole time.
Take a look at this.
Any comment, Commissioner? Mr Gold, Mr Gold! PRESS ALL SHOUT AT ONCE Please! Just stand back - please! Any comment, Commissioner? Commissioner? OK, guys, come on.
All I can say is that, after 12 long years, Joanna's disappearance is a real step closer to being solved.
Look, that's all I can say at the moment.
As and when there are developments, I will personally keep you up to speed.
Thanks a lot.
Bye.
'Scuse me He should be charged this afternoon.
You're convinced you've got the right man? Well, it's early days yet, but there's a strong body of evidence building.
Between us, my boys are pretty confident Ah.
Leah, Benjamin - this is Detective Superintendent Boyd, who made the arrest.
Benjamin Gold.
It's inadequate - but thank you.
We were impressed with how quickly you reacted.
So strange, that we may finally know what happened to her There's still a long way to go.
So you might have the wrong man? Clara! .
.
We want it to be over.
And it will be.
Is there any chance my daughter's still alive? Leah, we can't make that judgement yet.
Don't say you haven't talked.
I've an open mind.
As a policeman, what's your hunch? My hunch, Mrs Gold, is you shouldn't get your hopes up.
Then why aren't you out looking? Because we need something with Joanna's DNA on it before we can go any further.
.
.
Yes, of course.
I-Is there anything in particular? Er, a hairbrush would be ideal.
I can do this, darling.
SHE SOBS I always said we'd need her things one day.
Her hair was so fine.
Sorry.
I've never shared my wife's hope that she might come back.
What's kept that hope alive? Regret, perhaps.
Leah and Joanna were never close.
- Has he said where she might be? - I'm sorry.
That you don't know, or that you can't discuss it? Both.
Where did you get this? Found it in a copy of Alice In Wonderland.
Boyd, let me show you this - postcard from Joanna to Alec Garvey.
"Went to a brilliant party last night in a forest outside Heathrow.
"Only knew one person but felt more at home than in Hampstead" Blah blah ".
.
Lots of love, Joanna.
" See? Good friends.
And she was unhappy at home.
Not untypical for a teenager.
.
.
That's for Frankie.
You and I'll do this.
.
.
And it doesn't make him any less guilty! When you say you READ about Joanna, are you implying you didn't know her personally? Of course I didn't.
When was the first time you met? Um I was walking my dog and we got talking.
It was summer 1986.
The World Cup was on.
It felt like we were the only ones on earth not watching it.
What did you talk about? Lots of things.
Books, ideas, problems.
What sort of problems? My mother had just died.
Joanna wasn't very happy at home.
Explain.
Her parents were pushy about exams and things.
Did Joanna ever go to your house? No.
I didn't want her to get the wrong idea.
RIGHT idea.
Her beauty isn't what made her special.
So what did? She had an aura.
You mean you loved her.
No.
When was the last time you saw her? I can't remember.
Um, she was doing A-levels.
She was trying to avoid you.
She had no reason to avoid me.
Sick of you bothering her.
I never bothered her! What about the women you were prosecuted for stalking - did you bother them? Did they lie(?) They were mistakes.
Joanna was my friend.
She wasmy soulmate.
Then something happened, eh? You felt things were heading somewhere - they were not! No.
You said you loved her, and she didn't wanna know.
No.
Where is she, Alec? In the garden? Stop it.
You weren't friends.
We were! So why didn't you take the dress to the police? I was scared.
Of what you'd done! I'd been there before! Oh-h! When my mother died, they questioned me for hours because they didn't like my face.
I wasn't going through that again, not even for Joanna.
DOOR RATTLES AND THUDS Is this stuff from Garvey's house? Yeah.
Boyd, the DNA from the dress matches DNA from her hairbrush.
It's her blood.
Right.
I found tiny fragments of sponge embedded in the stain.
Someone tried to wipe the blood off while it was still wet.
What are you looking for? He must've had a diary.
No, I haven't seen one.
What? What?! Boyd? What's going on? This has got to be the same dog.
'Ice cream!' See? I need to know who this is.
I need a face.
Huh! You can forget it.
Why? Cos it's an '80s home video, Boyd.
The pixels just aren't there.
Enlarge it and you'll only get mush.
LOCK RATTLES Mr Garvey, we've digitally enhanced the Golds' home video from the day of Joanna's disappearance.
Results are startling.
Lots of detail, lots we couldn't see before.
Two things particularly stand out.
Can you guess what they are? I can't watch this.
.
.
No? Your dog is in plain view.
You're a little harder to spot, lurking in the shadows.
Doesn't matter.
We've found you.
We'll prove that you were on the Heath and that you lied.
I didn't kill her.
You were on the Heath.
You lied in your statement.
I watched her for a few minutes, that's all.
When Joanna ran down the path, did you follow her? She walked towards the ice-cream van, and she saw someone.
Someone that she knew.
How could you tell? She spoke to him.
Did you recognize him? No He was a black guy.
Oh-h(!) Describe him, this, er"black guy".
He was young.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
What kind of paper? A letter or a note.
I got the feeling that's what made him angry.
He was angry(?) Yes.
She led him off into the woods - I don't think she wanted her parents to see him - and that's where they started arguing.
So you were following them? I couldn't hear what the row was about, but she tore up the piece of paper.
And then Thenshe kissed him.
They started you know, er doing things.
They had sex? I'm not sure.
You averted your gaze(!) Are you a virgin, Alec? What? Have you ever had sex with another person? Is that why this part of the story's taxing your imagination? What happened next, Alec? He got angry again and he slapped her.
That's where the blood came from.
She got a nosebleed.
Why didn't you jump in, defend her honour? How did Joanna react to being hit? She ran off.
I went home.
And kept it to yourself, just like the dress.
No.
Though she was your friend whom you loved.
I didn't keep it to myself.
There was no black guy.
You killed her.
I called the police.
You didn't.
Anonymously.
You can check that.
You did not, Mr Garvey.
Get a brief and charge him.
Are you sure we've got enough? More than enough.
What did he say? Charge him.
SIREN WAILS We should've checked out his story about the anonymous call.
You were in the room, Spence.
It's not like we had the evidence to check it against.
I've been doing some background research on Garvey.
When he was at school, he was bullied repeatedly, and was referred to a child psychologist.
The diagnosis was Asperger's Syndrome.
I thought they couldn't form relationships.
That's right So what about Joanna? His friend.
Well, he only had a ghosting of the condition.
Only a BIT weird(!) The incidence of criminal activity in people with Asperger's is extremely low.
And the incidence of VIOLENT criminal activity is virtually nonexistent.
I've found a hair in Garvey's carpet.
It could be Joanna's.
COULD be? The same length and colour.
He said she never went to his house.
I'm checking the DNA now.
What's going on with you, Boyd? Eh? You solved a murder and you're not preening around like an arsehole.
Thank you, Frankie(!) Sir.
It's Garvey.
He made a noose from his trousers.
His condition? The CT scan shows his brain is hypoxic and swollen.
He suffered more than a transient period of anoxia.
He nearly died of asphyxia.
What are his chances? We'll only know if and when he regains consciousness.
MONITORS BLEEP It doesn't make him innocent.
That's not the point.
We didn't turn over every stone, and we always do that.
I interviewed him three times.
Why did you dismiss her postcard? I didn't.
OK.
Why'd you charge him before checking his story? I had 48 hours! Had the commissioner at you.
Bullshit! EVERYTHING is in the fire.
Like protocol? Ethics? If needs be.
That only works if you're right.
Usually! You screwed up! Live in the real world! I want you to order up all the Joanna Gold evidence - witness statements, forensics Does this mean you think that Garvey's innocent? Start with his anonymous call about the black guy.
See if it was logged.
Is there any part of that I need to repeat? Good.
Joanna Gold, 18-year-old daughter of Benjamin Gold of Gold Publishing.
April 16th, 1989 - the family are on Hampstead Heath.
She ran off to buy an ice cream, was never seen again.
Prime suspect was Joanna's dumped boyfriend, Mark Kaufman, but there was nothing resembling a case.
Hmm.
Why was he suspect? She left him a note on her door.
It was found in bits in a ruin on the Heath.
The male DNA on the note was never identified.
So Mark Kaufman didn't rip it up.
Frankie's checking it.
There WAS an anonymous call which could've been Garvey's.
"I saw a young black guy arguing with Joanna.
I saw him slap her.
He might have been a boyfriend".
OK.
Let's get Mark Kaufman in.
"Marky Baby, haven't blown you out this time "Up on the hill.
Love, Joanna.
" Mr Kaufman.
Thank you for coming in.
Would you follow me? .
.
Excuse us.
Thank you, Mel.
What exactly am I doing here? We want to ask a few questions.
What about this man you have in custody? We're building our case against him and we need your help.
Is that OK? Would you like to sit down? OK.
Dr Foley.
Mark Kaufman.
How long were you and Joanna going out? About a year.
What made her break it off? She felt we were too different.
How did you feel? Sad.
Heartbroken, actually.
Were you sleeping together? No.
I wanted to, but she said she wanted to wait.
I'd like to hear your account of 16th April 1989.
In the morning, Joanna called me to ask me over for lunch.
I pitched up and no-one was there.
I went home.
What about this? I told them about that the first time.
It wasn't on the door when I got there.
Someone had torn it off.
They didn't have my fingerprints.
OK.
Go on.
I went home and watched TV till it was dark.
The phone kept ringing all night but I didn't pick it up, thinking it was Joanna saying sorry.
But when I gave in around ten, it was Benjamin Gold.
He thought Joanna was with me.
When I told him she wasn't, he was very worried.
What about you? Were you worried? I thought she was with someone else.
A new boyfriend? She denied it, but near the end of our relationship, I thought she was seeing someone else.
What made you think that? She was different.
More confident.
I didn't think she was a virgin any more.
You had no idea who this other person was? No.
Nobody you went to school with? Absolutely not.
I would've known.
Does part of you still hope she's alive? I accepted a long time ago that she was dead.
So I could move on.
Why are YOU back here? I thought you'd caught him.
I need to speak to your parents.
What about? I really need to speak to one of THEM, Clara.
They're inside.
Hello? Yes, hello? I'm sorry, the door was No, come in.
Thank you.
.
.
DC Silver, this is Mrs Gold.
How d'you do? Hello.
So this is the Joanna Gold Trust at work? Yes.
Basically we help people contact loved ones who, for one reason or another, have gone missing.
What if the loved ones don't want to be found? Then we don't pass on their details.
But most do.
Then why do they run away? Abusive, violent home Misunderstandings, unwanted pregnancy Mr Boyd, what are you doing here? - Just because we've charged someone, it doesn't mean our work is over.
- Couldn't you have called first? I wanted to discuss with both of you whether Joanna had a boyfriend apart from Mark Kaufman.
- Let me get you something.
- I'm fine, thanks.
- No, I was rude.
Tea? Coffee? Let me do it.
Thanks.
That's impossible.
SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR WHINES You must be David.
I'm Mel.
We're a close family.
We would've known if Joanna had another boyfriend.
He may have been a black guy.
Joanna didn't know any black people.
Purely because it was an all-Jewish school.
Are you equally sure, Mrs Gold? Yes, I think so.
You think so? Well, as far as I knew, there was just Mark.
But? Well, teenagers can be secretive.
Was Joanna? The opposite.
She was very open with us.
Did you know your daughter and Alec Garvey were friends? What? They used to take walks on the Heath together.
He's lying! So WE thought.
Foolish to believe him.
He had a card from her in his house.
He said she'd a black boyfriend.
As far as we know, Mark Kaufman was her only boyfriend.
I appreciate this isn't easy.
It's all right.
You're only doing your job(!) This man Garvey - were you there when they caught him? No.
Do you think he killed Joanna? David You're "not at liberty to discuss it".
No.
I understand.
Sorry.
It's OK.
.
.
What d'you do for a living? I help my mum with the Trust.
You still live at home, then? Yeah.
Haven't cut the apron strings yet.
What about you? What about me? I bet YOU live on your own.
How did you know? I guessed.
I'm good at guessing.
Do youget lonely sometimes? Not really.
What, never? Well, I have a lot of friends.
But no boyfriend? .
.
No.
I'm sorry.
People say I'm either too direct, or not direct enough.
I never get it right.
Grace.
Hi.
Hey, Frankie, what were you doing in 1989? Oh, yeah - living on a beach in Cyprus with a tattoo artist called Andreas.
Ooh! Andreas! Yeah.
He wanted me to blow out uni and marry him.
Did you think about it? Nah.
Didn't love him.
The sex was good, though.
What about you? Oh, life was rosy.
Job, husband, kids, big house we couldn't afford.
Didn't last.
Anyway I found small traces of white powder in Joanna's dress pocket.
It's MDMA.
Ecstasy? Yep.
Goodbye.
Bye.
What do you make of him? Sweet.
Like a child.
Into remote-control cars.
I need Grace to talk to Mrs Gold.
You must be under an awful lot of stress at the moment.
I've a mountain of work as well.
Could you not take time off? To sit home and dwell? No, thanks.
I did that for five years.
Drove me mad.
You haven't asked me here to discuss coping strategies, have you? No.
No, I haven't Would you like to sit down? Leah, did Joanna have any friends outside school? Not really.
Why? We've found traces of Ecstasy in the pocket of Joanna's dress.
Ecstasy? Her school insist they had no cases of Ecstasy until 1991.
Well, this man Garvey must have put it there.
.
.
Yes, yup, it's possible.
Probable, I'd say.
The postcard that Joanna wrote to Garvey - in it, she says she went to a party somewhere near Heathrow.
I-I think they call them raves? Joanna never went out.
She was always working for exams.
Never? Gosh, I remember my two at that age.
Every Friday night, "Mum, can you come and pick us up?" Across town! W-Well, Joannasometimes went out with her nanny, Elaine.
Ah And how old was Elaine? Twenty, twenty-one.
Where did they go? I don't know.
They always said they went to Elaine's brother, or the pub.
I did wonder, sometimes.
You didn't tell the police this? Oh, I didn't think it mattered.
I don't understand.
Joanna disappeared on Hampstead Heath - at the end of our street.
You didn't think it worth telling the police because of that? Joanna always went out with Elaine when my husband was away.
I-I felt Benjamin was too draconian with her, and, well, I felt I should Leah, we're going to have to speak to Elaine.
And YOU'RE going to have to speak to your husband.
Spence.
Elaine Ashcroft? Who are you? Police.
Let me see some ID.
That's a lot of security.
I just wanna be safe.
Isn't that what you tell us? What's this about? We're investigating the murder of Joanna Gold.
But I heard on the radio that you'd charged someone.
That's right, but there's still a long way to go.
Leah Gold says you and Joanna went clubbing.
Once or twice.
Elaine, we know it was more than once or twice.
Did you ever take Ecstasy with Joanna? Sometimes.
Big deal! It wasn't Ecstasy that killed her.
Ah Empathy.
Ladbroke Grove.
I used to go there a few times, back in the day.
Did you go to any raves with Joanna? Yeah, we went to one.
In a wood off the M25.
A white-van-in-a-field job? Yeah.
Crap sound but still brilliant.
Did Joanna start a relationship with anyone when she was with you? She got off with a few boys.
So what? She wasn't the perfect angel the press made out.
Was there one particular boy? God, it's a long time ago, OK? I don't like thinking about the past.
It's depressing.
So why have you got all your old stuff out, then? It's just, with all the stuff about Joanna in the Press .
.
Got a bit nostalgic.
How did you get on with the Golds? All right.
David could be a bit of a nightmare, but it wasn't his fault.
Whose fault was it? His dad's.
He treated him like a leper.
When did you stop working for the Golds? About two weeks after Joanna went missing.
Freaked me out, her disappearing like that.
Still freaks me out.
Have you had contact with the Golds since? Elaine? Clara Gold came to see me today.
Bit of a shock.
She looks so much like Joanna.
What did she want? Nothing.
She just wanted me to talk about her sister.
I showed her some photos of the good old days, and then she went.
The club I mentioned, an old friend of mine used to run it.
Charlie Bellows.
I did the posters for him.
He wanted me to jack in the force, go into business with him.
Were you tempted? No.
Lost a friend over it.
He dropped you? Other way round.
He might have photos or something.
Spencer! Spencer Jordan! Hey, how you doing, man? Good.
Charlie, Mel.
Mel, Charlie.
Hey, Mel.
Hi.
Spencer, this is unreal.
This isSO real! I couldn't believe it when you rang.
I missed you, man! It's good to see the old place again.
This place was my first club.
I'm finally going to do it some justice.
Still got my poster up.
Me and Spencer go way back.
I met him in the playground on the first day of school.
Wayne Kimberley was standing on his head.
Innit? So, what happened? Charlie rescued me and got beaten to a pulp in the process.
We're investigating the disappearance of Joanna Gold.
.
.
That's the girl in the red dress, right? Yeah.
I thought you'd arrested somebody for that.
Apparently she came here a few times back in '89.
So did a lot of people, Spence.
Including you.
We believe she was seeing a black guy who wasn't interviewed in the original investigation.
Black guy? No way.
You don't remember her coming to the club, then? Here? I was up to my eyes.
Especially after YOU left.
Yeah, we got a lot of posh white girls coming in.
Dunno, maybe they got tired of going to balls with boys called Timothy.
I could dig out some guest lists, if that would help.
You don't have any photographs or videos? Nah.
We were LIVING it, weren't we? FURTHER AWAY: No, that goes here cos of the light 'When Joanna ran down the path, did you follow her?' 'Yes.
She walked towards the ice-cream van and she saw someone.
'Someone that she knew.
How could you tell? She spoke to him.
He was a black guy.
'Describe him, this, er"black guy".
'He was young.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
'A letter or a note.
'She led him off into the woods - I don't think she wanted her parents to see him - 'And that's where they started arguing' Clara? What are you doing here? Did you follow me? No.
No I'm sorry if I scared you.
You didn't.
This is where Joanna came, isn't it? Why'd you ask my parents if she had a black boyfriend? I can't discuss that.
Well, it's a very odd question.
You must've had reason.
Help me help YOU.
No, it doesn't work like that.
I'm a police officer.
METAL CLATTERS Ow! What've you done? What've you got in there? What have you got this for? Nothing.
MOBILE PHONE RINGS It's my dad.
I've gotta go.
He doesn't like me being out alone.
Clara! I want you to answer my question.
What about? About the knife.
I don't wanna disappear like my sister.
But we've charged someone with her murder.
What if you're wrong and he's still out there.
Do you think we're wrong? If you do, why are you there alone? What difference should that make?! when Joanna disappeared, and no-one helped her.
.
.
I've gotta go.
PHONE RINGS AGAIN MUSIC: "Gypsy Woman" by Crystal Waters Spence! '89 was a legendary summer.
Something in the air.
You mean you took a lot of drugs! No.
But everybody knew they were part of somethingspecial.
Ooh! It wasn't the '60s, though, Spence.
Better than the '60s.
How would you know? You weren't born! Mum told me.
Turn it off.
.
.
How'd you get on with Elaine Ashcroft? Fine.
It seems Joanna was a wild child.
You mean sexually? Elaine said no-one in particular - but she might've been lying.
"She might've been lying.
" That's a good day's work(!) Anything else? Clara Gold went to see Elaine this afternoon.
OK.
.
.
Give me her address.
Now.
Kirsty, did you take anything from here? .
.
Kirsty, tell the truth.
Mummy won't be angry This is Elaine Ashcroft in flat 201.
Our power's gone out.
Can you send someone when you get this message? It's all right, sweetheart, there's a man coming to fix it.
OK? Hello? Hello?
'Joanna! 'Joanna?' Ice cream! It's It's not over yet, Spence.
It's a young man's game, sir.
Is that supposed to make me feel better? KNOCK ON GLASS This had better be important.
I was beating Spence ragged.
Then you woke up! What is this place? There's Anyone who rents here has something to hide! What happened? A pipe burst.
The caretaker got the fire brigade.
They found something, got the police.
Good for them.
What's it to do with us? It's about Joanna Gold.
Joanna Gold! The one who disappeared in the park? Hampstead Heath, broad daylight.
1989.
I was doing my GCSEs.
I was a probationer.
Count yourself lucky.
Half the Met was out looking.
We searched every bush, gutter and bin in North London.
Found nothing.
Boyd.
This was in the drawer.
Christ.
Is that blood? Yeah.
We'll check it against Joanna Gold's DNA.
The commissioner's here.
Thank you.
You're sweating, Boyd.
I've been playing squash, sir.
Listen, I don't want you to misinterpret my presence, but I'm chairman of the Joanna Gold Trust.
I just thought you ought to know.
I did.
Remarkable couple, the Golds.
Thirteen years they've been waiting.
How could she just vanish? It hasn't been confirmed that it is Joanna's dress yet, sir.
If we can't give that family justice, we may as well pack up and go home.
I think I should be getting back.
So who is this guy? The unit's rented to a John White, Alice House, Gryphon Road, Battersea.
The LIO says it's not an address.
And he's not Mr White.
Alice In Wonderland - gryphon, white rabbit.
Alice fell down a hole When did he first rent this? 1985.
Four years before she went missing.
What've you got, Spence? Arts and crafts magazines from the '70s.
No bank statements, letters, bills to tell us who this guy is? Nothing.
These windows and doors are missing.
These could be professional.
Huh? Like a production line interrupted.
This layer of carbon dust indicates exposure to fire.
Your interruption.
Will the firemen keep quiet? Forget it.
The Press'll have it in 24 hours.
Mel, check dolls-house manufacturers from the mid-'80s.
Spence - fire records, Hampstead, 1985 onward.
Drag people out of bed, bang heads.
Someone get the Joanna Gold video.
.
.
And what's the deal with that unit? Ice cream! OK, brilliant.
Thanks very much for your help.
Cheers.
Bye.
Boyd, the manager never saw anyone go in or out of that unit.
Thanks.
Thanks.
What've you got? Two sets of prints from the unit.
One set distributed much more widely.
Mr White's? Checking the database.
No luck yet.
Second set? Mainly on the magazines and dolls' houses.
They're smaller.
A woman's? Or a child's.
.
.
Hi Grace.
Mind telling me what this is? .
.
The DNA? It'll give the sex, not the age.
It could be Joanna's? Theoretically.
Spence said Joanna Gold Yes.
.
.
You could match DNA on the dress? Boyd, give me a chance! Why DID you get me out of bed? See this? I want a profile of the owner.
Soon.
I'll need all the files Just do as I ask! Just once.
Now? She disappeared on to him, he'll disappear forever.
I can't profile Mr White based on the contents of his room.
Give me what you can.
Only the dress mattered.
The rest is filthy.
Even the dolls' houses? Especially them.
Why pay to store them? Guilt? They meant nothing to him but did to somebody else? The dress is different.
Even the sheet over it is new.
His trophy? You could argue it's respect.
Reverence, even.
You're saying he's not the killer? .
.
I'm SAYING we don't know she's even dead.
Say she is.
Then I reserve judgement.
It's what she was wearing when she disappeared.
It's covered in blood.
We've got something.
Chimneys and staircases are teak.
You can't use teak any more.
It's an endangered species, but there are still lots of varieties.
Those balloon shapes, tyloses, vary in structure between sub-species.
I woke a friend, e-mailed him a slide.
It's South Korean.
Importers of teak must register with the DTI.
According to their website, only three companies import Korean teak.
Only one supplies to a specialist in repro antique toys - Lamb & Sons.
Mr Lamb? Detective Constable Silver.
I'm sorry if I woke you.
Can you let me in? It's quite urgent.
Sorry to have woken you.
I was just wondering if you'd be kind enough to look at this for me.
What can you tell me about it? Well, the chimney gives it away.
Designed so the child could open one half of the roof and fold it back on the other.
Makes a solid top, you see? Do you know who made it? Certainly I do.
What's his name? It was a she.
Mary Garvey.
She had a little toy factory in her house.
I'll need an address, please.
You'll find her in Highgate Cemetery.
She died in a house fire Did she have any family? A son.
He survived the fire.
OK Excuse me one second, please.
Boyd, I've got a name.
Garvey Spence, I've arrived, so as soon as you can, OK? DOORBELL RINGS I understand a Mary Garvey used to live here.
Yeah.
I'm her son.
What's up? May I come in? What's your name? Alec.
I was just making some tea.
Do you want some? No, thank you.
What is it you want? You don't rent a storage facility, do you, Alec? KETTLE WHISTLES No.
No, I don't.
What about in another name? Maybe John White? KETTLE STILL WHISTLING GARVEY! SPENCE! Do you rent a storage unit in Dagenham in the name of John White? John White of Alice House, Gryphon Road, Battersea.
Answer the question.
Yes.
Why do you use a false name and address? Is it anything to do .
.
with this? COMPUTER BLEEPS (Yes!) We believe it belonged to Joanna Gold.
You do know who Joanna Gold is, don't you? I read about her.
Perhaps you could tell us how you came to have Joanna Gold's dress.
Got a result.
He's Mr White and has three convictions for stalking young women.
'94, '97 and '99.
Last time, he spent six months in Pentonville.
I found it.
You found it(?) On the Heath.
Whereabouts? It's a big place.
At the bottom of the hill.
It was in a plastic bag.
Really? A blue plastic bag.
Was that after the hand search by 70 police officers? This was AFTER she went missing.
I-I didn't know the dress was hers.
Peter.
A word? I'm in the middle of an interview, sir.
I don't think he's leaving, eh? You seem to be making progress.
So far, yes.
Have you contacted the Golds? Well, he's here voluntarily, sir.
He's not under arrest.
Well, arrest him, for God's sake.
Make it official.
I'll handle the Golds and the media.
You focus on our friend.
Congratulations, Boyd.
Sir.
Let's see? He's kept his mother's things the whole time.
Take a look at this.
Any comment, Commissioner? Mr Gold, Mr Gold! PRESS ALL SHOUT AT ONCE Please! Just stand back - please! Any comment, Commissioner? Commissioner? OK, guys, come on.
All I can say is that, after 12 long years, Joanna's disappearance is a real step closer to being solved.
Look, that's all I can say at the moment.
As and when there are developments, I will personally keep you up to speed.
Thanks a lot.
Bye.
'Scuse me He should be charged this afternoon.
You're convinced you've got the right man? Well, it's early days yet, but there's a strong body of evidence building.
Between us, my boys are pretty confident Ah.
Leah, Benjamin - this is Detective Superintendent Boyd, who made the arrest.
Benjamin Gold.
It's inadequate - but thank you.
We were impressed with how quickly you reacted.
So strange, that we may finally know what happened to her There's still a long way to go.
So you might have the wrong man? Clara! .
.
We want it to be over.
And it will be.
Is there any chance my daughter's still alive? Leah, we can't make that judgement yet.
Don't say you haven't talked.
I've an open mind.
As a policeman, what's your hunch? My hunch, Mrs Gold, is you shouldn't get your hopes up.
Then why aren't you out looking? Because we need something with Joanna's DNA on it before we can go any further.
.
.
Yes, of course.
I-Is there anything in particular? Er, a hairbrush would be ideal.
I can do this, darling.
SHE SOBS I always said we'd need her things one day.
Her hair was so fine.
Sorry.
I've never shared my wife's hope that she might come back.
What's kept that hope alive? Regret, perhaps.
Leah and Joanna were never close.
- Has he said where she might be? - I'm sorry.
That you don't know, or that you can't discuss it? Both.
Where did you get this? Found it in a copy of Alice In Wonderland.
Boyd, let me show you this - postcard from Joanna to Alec Garvey.
"Went to a brilliant party last night in a forest outside Heathrow.
"Only knew one person but felt more at home than in Hampstead" Blah blah ".
.
Lots of love, Joanna.
" See? Good friends.
And she was unhappy at home.
Not untypical for a teenager.
.
.
That's for Frankie.
You and I'll do this.
.
.
And it doesn't make him any less guilty! When you say you READ about Joanna, are you implying you didn't know her personally? Of course I didn't.
When was the first time you met? Um I was walking my dog and we got talking.
It was summer 1986.
The World Cup was on.
It felt like we were the only ones on earth not watching it.
What did you talk about? Lots of things.
Books, ideas, problems.
What sort of problems? My mother had just died.
Joanna wasn't very happy at home.
Explain.
Her parents were pushy about exams and things.
Did Joanna ever go to your house? No.
I didn't want her to get the wrong idea.
RIGHT idea.
Her beauty isn't what made her special.
So what did? She had an aura.
You mean you loved her.
No.
When was the last time you saw her? I can't remember.
Um, she was doing A-levels.
She was trying to avoid you.
She had no reason to avoid me.
Sick of you bothering her.
I never bothered her! What about the women you were prosecuted for stalking - did you bother them? Did they lie(?) They were mistakes.
Joanna was my friend.
She wasmy soulmate.
Then something happened, eh? You felt things were heading somewhere - they were not! No.
You said you loved her, and she didn't wanna know.
No.
Where is she, Alec? In the garden? Stop it.
You weren't friends.
We were! So why didn't you take the dress to the police? I was scared.
Of what you'd done! I'd been there before! Oh-h! When my mother died, they questioned me for hours because they didn't like my face.
I wasn't going through that again, not even for Joanna.
DOOR RATTLES AND THUDS Is this stuff from Garvey's house? Yeah.
Boyd, the DNA from the dress matches DNA from her hairbrush.
It's her blood.
Right.
I found tiny fragments of sponge embedded in the stain.
Someone tried to wipe the blood off while it was still wet.
What are you looking for? He must've had a diary.
No, I haven't seen one.
What? What?! Boyd? What's going on? This has got to be the same dog.
'Ice cream!' See? I need to know who this is.
I need a face.
Huh! You can forget it.
Why? Cos it's an '80s home video, Boyd.
The pixels just aren't there.
Enlarge it and you'll only get mush.
LOCK RATTLES Mr Garvey, we've digitally enhanced the Golds' home video from the day of Joanna's disappearance.
Results are startling.
Lots of detail, lots we couldn't see before.
Two things particularly stand out.
Can you guess what they are? I can't watch this.
.
.
No? Your dog is in plain view.
You're a little harder to spot, lurking in the shadows.
Doesn't matter.
We've found you.
We'll prove that you were on the Heath and that you lied.
I didn't kill her.
You were on the Heath.
You lied in your statement.
I watched her for a few minutes, that's all.
When Joanna ran down the path, did you follow her? She walked towards the ice-cream van, and she saw someone.
Someone that she knew.
How could you tell? She spoke to him.
Did you recognize him? No He was a black guy.
Oh-h(!) Describe him, this, er"black guy".
He was young.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
What kind of paper? A letter or a note.
I got the feeling that's what made him angry.
He was angry(?) Yes.
She led him off into the woods - I don't think she wanted her parents to see him - and that's where they started arguing.
So you were following them? I couldn't hear what the row was about, but she tore up the piece of paper.
And then Thenshe kissed him.
They started you know, er doing things.
They had sex? I'm not sure.
You averted your gaze(!) Are you a virgin, Alec? What? Have you ever had sex with another person? Is that why this part of the story's taxing your imagination? What happened next, Alec? He got angry again and he slapped her.
That's where the blood came from.
She got a nosebleed.
Why didn't you jump in, defend her honour? How did Joanna react to being hit? She ran off.
I went home.
And kept it to yourself, just like the dress.
No.
Though she was your friend whom you loved.
I didn't keep it to myself.
There was no black guy.
You killed her.
I called the police.
You didn't.
Anonymously.
You can check that.
You did not, Mr Garvey.
Get a brief and charge him.
Are you sure we've got enough? More than enough.
What did he say? Charge him.
SIREN WAILS We should've checked out his story about the anonymous call.
You were in the room, Spence.
It's not like we had the evidence to check it against.
I've been doing some background research on Garvey.
When he was at school, he was bullied repeatedly, and was referred to a child psychologist.
The diagnosis was Asperger's Syndrome.
I thought they couldn't form relationships.
That's right So what about Joanna? His friend.
Well, he only had a ghosting of the condition.
Only a BIT weird(!) The incidence of criminal activity in people with Asperger's is extremely low.
And the incidence of VIOLENT criminal activity is virtually nonexistent.
I've found a hair in Garvey's carpet.
It could be Joanna's.
COULD be? The same length and colour.
He said she never went to his house.
I'm checking the DNA now.
What's going on with you, Boyd? Eh? You solved a murder and you're not preening around like an arsehole.
Thank you, Frankie(!) Sir.
It's Garvey.
He made a noose from his trousers.
His condition? The CT scan shows his brain is hypoxic and swollen.
He suffered more than a transient period of anoxia.
He nearly died of asphyxia.
What are his chances? We'll only know if and when he regains consciousness.
MONITORS BLEEP It doesn't make him innocent.
That's not the point.
We didn't turn over every stone, and we always do that.
I interviewed him three times.
Why did you dismiss her postcard? I didn't.
OK.
Why'd you charge him before checking his story? I had 48 hours! Had the commissioner at you.
Bullshit! EVERYTHING is in the fire.
Like protocol? Ethics? If needs be.
That only works if you're right.
Usually! You screwed up! Live in the real world! I want you to order up all the Joanna Gold evidence - witness statements, forensics Does this mean you think that Garvey's innocent? Start with his anonymous call about the black guy.
See if it was logged.
Is there any part of that I need to repeat? Good.
Joanna Gold, 18-year-old daughter of Benjamin Gold of Gold Publishing.
April 16th, 1989 - the family are on Hampstead Heath.
She ran off to buy an ice cream, was never seen again.
Prime suspect was Joanna's dumped boyfriend, Mark Kaufman, but there was nothing resembling a case.
Hmm.
Why was he suspect? She left him a note on her door.
It was found in bits in a ruin on the Heath.
The male DNA on the note was never identified.
So Mark Kaufman didn't rip it up.
Frankie's checking it.
There WAS an anonymous call which could've been Garvey's.
"I saw a young black guy arguing with Joanna.
I saw him slap her.
He might have been a boyfriend".
OK.
Let's get Mark Kaufman in.
"Marky Baby, haven't blown you out this time "Up on the hill.
Love, Joanna.
" Mr Kaufman.
Thank you for coming in.
Would you follow me? .
.
Excuse us.
Thank you, Mel.
What exactly am I doing here? We want to ask a few questions.
What about this man you have in custody? We're building our case against him and we need your help.
Is that OK? Would you like to sit down? OK.
Dr Foley.
Mark Kaufman.
How long were you and Joanna going out? About a year.
What made her break it off? She felt we were too different.
How did you feel? Sad.
Heartbroken, actually.
Were you sleeping together? No.
I wanted to, but she said she wanted to wait.
I'd like to hear your account of 16th April 1989.
In the morning, Joanna called me to ask me over for lunch.
I pitched up and no-one was there.
I went home.
What about this? I told them about that the first time.
It wasn't on the door when I got there.
Someone had torn it off.
They didn't have my fingerprints.
OK.
Go on.
I went home and watched TV till it was dark.
The phone kept ringing all night but I didn't pick it up, thinking it was Joanna saying sorry.
But when I gave in around ten, it was Benjamin Gold.
He thought Joanna was with me.
When I told him she wasn't, he was very worried.
What about you? Were you worried? I thought she was with someone else.
A new boyfriend? She denied it, but near the end of our relationship, I thought she was seeing someone else.
What made you think that? She was different.
More confident.
I didn't think she was a virgin any more.
You had no idea who this other person was? No.
Nobody you went to school with? Absolutely not.
I would've known.
Does part of you still hope she's alive? I accepted a long time ago that she was dead.
So I could move on.
Why are YOU back here? I thought you'd caught him.
I need to speak to your parents.
What about? I really need to speak to one of THEM, Clara.
They're inside.
Hello? Yes, hello? I'm sorry, the door was No, come in.
Thank you.
.
.
DC Silver, this is Mrs Gold.
How d'you do? Hello.
So this is the Joanna Gold Trust at work? Yes.
Basically we help people contact loved ones who, for one reason or another, have gone missing.
What if the loved ones don't want to be found? Then we don't pass on their details.
But most do.
Then why do they run away? Abusive, violent home Misunderstandings, unwanted pregnancy Mr Boyd, what are you doing here? - Just because we've charged someone, it doesn't mean our work is over.
- Couldn't you have called first? I wanted to discuss with both of you whether Joanna had a boyfriend apart from Mark Kaufman.
- Let me get you something.
- I'm fine, thanks.
- No, I was rude.
Tea? Coffee? Let me do it.
Thanks.
That's impossible.
SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR WHINES You must be David.
I'm Mel.
We're a close family.
We would've known if Joanna had another boyfriend.
He may have been a black guy.
Joanna didn't know any black people.
Purely because it was an all-Jewish school.
Are you equally sure, Mrs Gold? Yes, I think so.
You think so? Well, as far as I knew, there was just Mark.
But? Well, teenagers can be secretive.
Was Joanna? The opposite.
She was very open with us.
Did you know your daughter and Alec Garvey were friends? What? They used to take walks on the Heath together.
He's lying! So WE thought.
Foolish to believe him.
He had a card from her in his house.
He said she'd a black boyfriend.
As far as we know, Mark Kaufman was her only boyfriend.
I appreciate this isn't easy.
It's all right.
You're only doing your job(!) This man Garvey - were you there when they caught him? No.
Do you think he killed Joanna? David You're "not at liberty to discuss it".
No.
I understand.
Sorry.
It's OK.
.
.
What d'you do for a living? I help my mum with the Trust.
You still live at home, then? Yeah.
Haven't cut the apron strings yet.
What about you? What about me? I bet YOU live on your own.
How did you know? I guessed.
I'm good at guessing.
Do youget lonely sometimes? Not really.
What, never? Well, I have a lot of friends.
But no boyfriend? .
.
No.
I'm sorry.
People say I'm either too direct, or not direct enough.
I never get it right.
Grace.
Hi.
Hey, Frankie, what were you doing in 1989? Oh, yeah - living on a beach in Cyprus with a tattoo artist called Andreas.
Ooh! Andreas! Yeah.
He wanted me to blow out uni and marry him.
Did you think about it? Nah.
Didn't love him.
The sex was good, though.
What about you? Oh, life was rosy.
Job, husband, kids, big house we couldn't afford.
Didn't last.
Anyway I found small traces of white powder in Joanna's dress pocket.
It's MDMA.
Ecstasy? Yep.
Goodbye.
Bye.
What do you make of him? Sweet.
Like a child.
Into remote-control cars.
I need Grace to talk to Mrs Gold.
You must be under an awful lot of stress at the moment.
I've a mountain of work as well.
Could you not take time off? To sit home and dwell? No, thanks.
I did that for five years.
Drove me mad.
You haven't asked me here to discuss coping strategies, have you? No.
No, I haven't Would you like to sit down? Leah, did Joanna have any friends outside school? Not really.
Why? We've found traces of Ecstasy in the pocket of Joanna's dress.
Ecstasy? Her school insist they had no cases of Ecstasy until 1991.
Well, this man Garvey must have put it there.
.
.
Yes, yup, it's possible.
Probable, I'd say.
The postcard that Joanna wrote to Garvey - in it, she says she went to a party somewhere near Heathrow.
I-I think they call them raves? Joanna never went out.
She was always working for exams.
Never? Gosh, I remember my two at that age.
Every Friday night, "Mum, can you come and pick us up?" Across town! W-Well, Joannasometimes went out with her nanny, Elaine.
Ah And how old was Elaine? Twenty, twenty-one.
Where did they go? I don't know.
They always said they went to Elaine's brother, or the pub.
I did wonder, sometimes.
You didn't tell the police this? Oh, I didn't think it mattered.
I don't understand.
Joanna disappeared on Hampstead Heath - at the end of our street.
You didn't think it worth telling the police because of that? Joanna always went out with Elaine when my husband was away.
I-I felt Benjamin was too draconian with her, and, well, I felt I should Leah, we're going to have to speak to Elaine.
And YOU'RE going to have to speak to your husband.
Spence.
Elaine Ashcroft? Who are you? Police.
Let me see some ID.
That's a lot of security.
I just wanna be safe.
Isn't that what you tell us? What's this about? We're investigating the murder of Joanna Gold.
But I heard on the radio that you'd charged someone.
That's right, but there's still a long way to go.
Leah Gold says you and Joanna went clubbing.
Once or twice.
Elaine, we know it was more than once or twice.
Did you ever take Ecstasy with Joanna? Sometimes.
Big deal! It wasn't Ecstasy that killed her.
Ah Empathy.
Ladbroke Grove.
I used to go there a few times, back in the day.
Did you go to any raves with Joanna? Yeah, we went to one.
In a wood off the M25.
A white-van-in-a-field job? Yeah.
Crap sound but still brilliant.
Did Joanna start a relationship with anyone when she was with you? She got off with a few boys.
So what? She wasn't the perfect angel the press made out.
Was there one particular boy? God, it's a long time ago, OK? I don't like thinking about the past.
It's depressing.
So why have you got all your old stuff out, then? It's just, with all the stuff about Joanna in the Press .
.
Got a bit nostalgic.
How did you get on with the Golds? All right.
David could be a bit of a nightmare, but it wasn't his fault.
Whose fault was it? His dad's.
He treated him like a leper.
When did you stop working for the Golds? About two weeks after Joanna went missing.
Freaked me out, her disappearing like that.
Still freaks me out.
Have you had contact with the Golds since? Elaine? Clara Gold came to see me today.
Bit of a shock.
She looks so much like Joanna.
What did she want? Nothing.
She just wanted me to talk about her sister.
I showed her some photos of the good old days, and then she went.
The club I mentioned, an old friend of mine used to run it.
Charlie Bellows.
I did the posters for him.
He wanted me to jack in the force, go into business with him.
Were you tempted? No.
Lost a friend over it.
He dropped you? Other way round.
He might have photos or something.
Spencer! Spencer Jordan! Hey, how you doing, man? Good.
Charlie, Mel.
Mel, Charlie.
Hey, Mel.
Hi.
Spencer, this is unreal.
This isSO real! I couldn't believe it when you rang.
I missed you, man! It's good to see the old place again.
This place was my first club.
I'm finally going to do it some justice.
Still got my poster up.
Me and Spencer go way back.
I met him in the playground on the first day of school.
Wayne Kimberley was standing on his head.
Innit? So, what happened? Charlie rescued me and got beaten to a pulp in the process.
We're investigating the disappearance of Joanna Gold.
.
.
That's the girl in the red dress, right? Yeah.
I thought you'd arrested somebody for that.
Apparently she came here a few times back in '89.
So did a lot of people, Spence.
Including you.
We believe she was seeing a black guy who wasn't interviewed in the original investigation.
Black guy? No way.
You don't remember her coming to the club, then? Here? I was up to my eyes.
Especially after YOU left.
Yeah, we got a lot of posh white girls coming in.
Dunno, maybe they got tired of going to balls with boys called Timothy.
I could dig out some guest lists, if that would help.
You don't have any photographs or videos? Nah.
We were LIVING it, weren't we? FURTHER AWAY: No, that goes here cos of the light 'When Joanna ran down the path, did you follow her?' 'Yes.
She walked towards the ice-cream van and she saw someone.
'Someone that she knew.
How could you tell? She spoke to him.
He was a black guy.
'Describe him, this, er"black guy".
'He was young.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
'A letter or a note.
'She led him off into the woods - I don't think she wanted her parents to see him - 'And that's where they started arguing' Clara? What are you doing here? Did you follow me? No.
No I'm sorry if I scared you.
You didn't.
This is where Joanna came, isn't it? Why'd you ask my parents if she had a black boyfriend? I can't discuss that.
Well, it's a very odd question.
You must've had reason.
Help me help YOU.
No, it doesn't work like that.
I'm a police officer.
METAL CLATTERS Ow! What've you done? What've you got in there? What have you got this for? Nothing.
MOBILE PHONE RINGS It's my dad.
I've gotta go.
He doesn't like me being out alone.
Clara! I want you to answer my question.
What about? About the knife.
I don't wanna disappear like my sister.
But we've charged someone with her murder.
What if you're wrong and he's still out there.
Do you think we're wrong? If you do, why are you there alone? What difference should that make?! when Joanna disappeared, and no-one helped her.

I've gotta go.
PHONE RINGS AGAIN MUSIC: "Gypsy Woman" by Crystal Waters Spence! '89 was a legendary summer.
Something in the air.
You mean you took a lot of drugs! No.
But everybody knew they were part of somethingspecial.
Ooh! It wasn't the '60s, though, Spence.
Better than the '60s.
How would you know? You weren't born! Mum told me.
Turn it off.

How'd you get on with Elaine Ashcroft? Fine.
It seems Joanna was a wild child.
You mean sexually? Elaine said no-one in particular - but she might've been lying.
"She might've been lying.
" That's a good day's work(!) Anything else? Clara Gold went to see Elaine this afternoon.
OK.
.
.
Give me her address.
Now.
Kirsty, did you take anything from here? .
.
Kirsty, tell the truth.
Mummy won't be angry This is Elaine Ashcroft in flat 201.
Our power's gone out.
Can you send someone when you get this message? It's all right, sweetheart, there's a man coming to fix it.
OK? Hello? Hello?
