Suspects (2014) s03e04 Episode Script
Series 3, Episode 4
A young woman has been found naked and beaten unconscious on waste ground in East London early this morning.
Police have yet to identify the victim and are appealing for witnesses to what they describe as a brutal attack.
The victim is female, found here at 6.
00am.
Serious injuries to head and face.
Paramedics have lost her heartbeat once so I reckon we're looking at a murder enquiry.
Oh, poor girl.
Mr and Mrs Green, I understand we are here to talk about your daughter, Mandy Granger.
So, tell me about when you discovered she was missing- We've done this at the front desk.
We have to run through it again.
At eight this morning I went to take her a cup of tea, she wasn't there.
When was the last time you saw her? About six last night before I went to work.
That was the last time I saw her.
Erm, last night we were at home.
Erm, I was quite tired.
I went to bed quite early.
Nine, nineish, nine thirty, something like that.
She was still up watching TV.
- Did she seem all right, happy? - She was fine.
Yeah.
Found naked.
Have yet to do a sweep of the entire area but the initial search suggests that the attacker or attackers took the victim's clothing with them.
So they know what they're doing.
Have you managed to get any basics on the victim? Yes, she is mid to late teens.
Five foot six and short, brown hair.
No wallet found, so no ideas yet.
Thank you.
She's had her hair cut since then.
I'll make a note of that.
Yes, it's a bit shorter.
Quite a lot shorter.
Gorgeous girl.
Has Mandy ever stayed away before? Maybe snuck out to see friends or a boyfriend perhaps? She doesn't have a boyfriend! She's 16 years old.
She's a child.
She's not snuck away, run away.
All this shit is wasting time.
Something has happened to her.
I can see blood splatter analysis isn't consistent with the victim's injuries.
I'm thinking this waste ground is where the body was dumped.
Now we're on the lookout for a crime scene where the attack took place.
SOCO has found some tyre tracks in the soil.
They're fresh.
Rained last night.
He's getting a mould of the track to figure out the type of tyre.
Hopefully we can figure out the type of car used to dump the body.
Victim is mid to late teens.
Female.
Short, brown hair.
Found this morning at six with serious injuries to face and head.
We know she has brain damage, also possible sexual assault.
The parents I've been talking to they've not seen their daughter since nine last night.
She's about that age, that height.
Short, brown hair.
What's her name? Mandy Granger.
On the board? Yeah.
These photographs I had fast tracked in from the hospital.
I'm also waiting on forensic photos of the rest of the body.
Also, one of a tattoo apparently on the victim's wrist.
A fresh tattoo.
There's Clingfilm on top of it.
Does Mandy have a tattoo? Her parents didn't mention one.
The parents may not know.
You're going to have to take them down to intensive care I'm afraid.
See if that's their little girl OK? Yeah.
I can't do it.
Are you OK? Do you want me to go? Yeah.
Yeah? It's all right.
Can I go on my own? Do you need both of us? No, if you're prepared to do so that's fine but are you sure you're happy to go in alone? Yeah.
OK.
That's fine.
You can wait here.
All right.
TIU have traced the 9-9-9 phone call to an area close to where the victim was dumped, press play.
Please, help my friend! Don't suppose we have a number for this? Guess who it is? Who? Mandy Granger.
Our missing girl? Yeah.
- Thank you.
- It's not Mandy.
It's OK.
Good.
Erm, my DI has asked me to take you home.
She's on her way there.
She wants to talk to you.
Why is that? To be honest, I'm not sure.
It may be something she wants to share with you in person.
At the house? Yes.
Yes.
OK, after you.
Thanks.
Charlie? The girl in ITU isn't Mandy Granger.
Mum, Natalie, is very sure of that.
Relief for them.
However, it was Mandy's phone that called 9-9-9.
We know that much.
OK.
I've had a dig around on the parents.
So, mum, Natalie Granger, she's clean, but the dad, Andrew Granger, has a couple of D&Ds and an ABH.
Basically, that was from a pub.
There was an argument and a glassing basically.
It got nasty.
What's your instincts on them? I'm not massively surprised about that to be honest.
He's incredibly aggressive and he walks all over Natalie, absolutely controls her.
He couldn't face going into ITU to see the girl, which I think is a little bit odd.
I'm gonna get you to listen to this for me.
Please, help my friend! - Is that Mandy? - Yeah.
100% sure? Yes! It's likely the friend she is referring to is the girl you saw earlier in ITU, Natalie.
OK, we don't know who she is- What happens now? Look, I'm not going to lie.
The connection between the victim and Mandy is a concern for us.
Just a little bit, yeah.
Let me reassure you of one thing all right? Most girls of Mandy's sort of age, they come home safe, back to the family.
Most girls, not all of them! A local tattooist got in touch.
He said 48 hours ago he inked a tattoo like that one, certainly very like that one, on someone's wrist.
That looks like it could be Mandy.
It looks like, doesn't it? The bloke that's with her according to the tattooist, that's the guy who got it done, the tattoo.
That's not our victim so maybe the tattoo is a dead end.
I chased the credit card used to pay for the tattoo.
It's registered to a J Collins.
Someone has kicked the door in.
Yeah.
Police, we're coming in.
Gloves on.
I'm going to check upstairs.
Hello? All clear down here.
I'm going to make a start in the kitchen.
Jack? Yep? There are two bottles of testosterone in the cupboard.
What's that for, bodybuilding? Hang on, give me that.
Wait.
Give me that.
This belongs to Julie Collins.
Male clothes, male hormones.
She's gone for a sex change.
So, who kicked the door down? I'm willing to bet a lot of money it was Andrew Granger.
If he finds out Mandy has got a boyfriend who was a girl who's having a sex change, he's gonna hit the roof.
Now we know that Jez Collins was in fact born Julie Collins.
From back records came from Burnley where she lived with her parents.
Moved down to London on, take note, the seventh of June, 2014.
Ah, a momentous day worthy enough of a tattoo.
I wonder why the tattooist didn't twig though? In close proximity with someone and you don't realise he is a she? It's confidence.
Dresses like a bloke, looks like a bloke.
If you can convince yourself you'll convince other people too.
Yeah.
He was convinced.
From now on we're gonna refer to the victim as Jez.
I have spoken to Jez's parents, a very difficult phone call.
What they did know was that Jez was in fact transgender, so that was a bombshell I didn't have to drop.
However, they're heading down from Burnley and they have got a terrible decision to make to decide whether to turn the life machine off or not.
So, we are dealing with a murder investigation.
I got onto TFL to chase up Jez Collins' Oyster card.
He topped it up at this newsagent's.
He's with Mandy Granger! Hold on, let me fast forward.
Look at this.
Andrew Granger.
Mandy's dad.
He completely failed to mention that little falling out.
We knew he was violent but this also makes him a liar.
Mr Granger, can I have a quick word? Have you found her? I'm afraid we are going to have to arrest you for the suspected murder of Jez Collins.
Are you being serious? Are you being serious?! Oh, wonderful police work There's one, two, three, four, five, six people who could be-Fuck off! Who could be out looking for my daughter! Get off me! Get him down on the ground.
I'm arresting you for the suspected abduction of your daughter Mandy Granger.
You do not have to say anything that would harm your defence.
If you do not mention something which you later rely on in court anything you say may be given in evidence, understand? Yep.
Joe, get a full forensic lift on the vehicle of Mr Granger's car.
Let's put them him in the back of the van.
Are you going somewhere? No, I was just erm Yeah, I was just going to go and see my mum.
What if Mandy comes home? It might be nice for you to be here if she does.
No, she'd know I'm at my mum's.
Natalie I'm sorry, I'm just not thinking straight.
I just need a minute.
OK.
I know from social services that you and Mandy moved into a refuge for about three months last year.
Talk to me about that- I don't want to talk about that.
It has nothing to do with why Mandy's gone now.
With all due respect, it kind of is because the relationship between Mandy and her father, if indeed he's the reason you moved out, is important for us in understanding where Mandy might be and why she might have gone.
When he drinks, it brings out the worst in him and erm Yes, last year we went through a very bad time and I had to go to a refuge.
He was violent towards you? Yes, he was.
OK.
It's important for me to understand Mandy's situation, her circumstances at the moment.
Do you know anyone called Jez? Is that a name you're familiar with? We think this might be Mandy's boyfriend.
I don't know if it's her boyfriend but yeah I've heard her speak to someone called Jez on the phone.
I've never met him.
I don't know.
Did you know that Jez, we think at least is a pre-op transgender person? He used to be called Julie.
He started as a female and is in the process of becoming a male.
No.
No, that's news to me.
Do you think Andrew knew or could have known? If he did, how do you think he'd feel about that? He wouldn't He wouldn't like that at all, no.
OK.
Keep pushing.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, that's my car and that's me.
Getting out of the car.
You, Andrew Granger? Yeah.
Why were you there? Why was I there? Yeah.
Picking up Mandy.
After school? Yeah.
Talk me through what happens next.
What's that? That's me moving this lad out the way.
In a threatening manner.
You tried to head-butt him.
I'm not trying to head-butt anybody! If I had tried to head-butt him I would have fucking- Calm down.
We're trying to help you find your daughter.
You're not! You wasting time sitting here with me.
Going through bits of fucking- Why are you so pissed off anyway? That lad called me a very, very rude word.
The guy's name was Jez.
We think Jez was Mandy's boyfriend.
Mandy doesn't have boyfriends.
You can take that shit.
Hang on, I'm not finished yet.
Mr Granger We also know that Jez was in fact born Julie Collins.
What does that mean? He's a transvestite? No, transgender.
Born as a girl.
And pretending to be a boy? Wants to become a guy.
He's in the middle of a sex change.
We think that you knew Jez was Mandy's boyfriend.
We also think, more humiliatingly, that you knew that Jez was a pre-op transgender.
We think you followed him home, broke into his house.
We think you assaulted him and left him with serious head injuries, face injuries, and dumped him on a waste ground, that's what we think.
So, prove me wrong.
What have you done with Mandy? Hey? What? Where is she? What have you done with her? Ask me that again.
What have you done with- I have done fuck all! This is the sick fuck you should be looking for! Don't even fucking dare! Don't you dare! Oh, guys, Jez's parents have just turned off the life-support machine.
I'm gonna let them say their goodbyes and then get a post-mortem.
Hopefully we'll get clues from that and pray to God that we don't find Mandy in the same state.
Yeah.
The forensics from the break-in at Jez's place been incredibly useful, so DNA from Mandy Granger, very prominent, which is no surprise if they were in a relationship.
What about Andrew Granger? Nothing on Andrew.
But, there is DNA from this guy.
His name is Oliver Hemingway.
He has a conviction for assault in Burnley from a couple of years ago which is where Jez is from.
Mr Hemingway drove in the congestion charging zone yesterday at 10.
00am.
His car has not left it yet but FIU told me he bought a coach ticket this morning back home at about 6.
00am.
Why would he do that? Beats me.
The next stop on the coach is Oxford.
He's on it.
I've got uniform driving to pick him up.
Empty your pockets for me, please.
Thank you.
Can you get the sent to Tech? I want to know what's on it.
Sarge, Tech have recovered the deleted data from Oliver's phone.
It also pulled up this stream of abusive text messages he sent to Jez when he was driving to London.
I think it's fair to say he took the break up badly to put it mildly.
The boss is talking to him about it now.
"I would have done anything to make you happy "and yet you treat me like shit.
" "You fucking, horrible bitch, Julie.
" That was you sending that on the way down the motorway heading towards her flat.
Remember that? How angry were you? Because if you were that angry heading down there, fuck knows what you'd have felt like when you realised that your girlfriend was now your boyfriend.
Are you mad?! I absolutely worshipped the ground she walked on! You think I could have hurt a hair on her head? You think that I would ever harm her? Yeah, I sent some fucking nasty messages cos I was hurt! I was heart broke! Yeah, OK.
How long is that gonna be? Have you got anything on first look? Definitely Oliver Hemingway's car.
Found abandoned a mile or so away from the crime scene.
I'd be certain this is the car used to transport Jez to the waste ground mainly because we've got some claret in the back.
I've sent some samples to the lab to see if it belongs to Jez.
I'm getting these guys to sweep the car for fingerprints and DNA belonging to Mandy to see if she was transported in the same vehicle.
Great.
Good work, Jack.
Oliver, go back and tell us exactly what happened.
Over the last 24 hours, all right? I just thought we'd be able to get back together and .
.
make it work.
Did she know you were coming? - I loved her.
- I loved her so much.
Did you break into her flat? I just wanted to see her! I sat, I waited, she came home.
She was pissed off.
She was angry.
Was there a fight? No! I'd never hurt her.
She said that she'd been feeling strange and she wasn't happy.
She said that she loved me .
.
but she couldn't be with me any more.
She kept saying I wouldn't understand.
She wanted to be a boy.
How did that feel when you heard that? Weird.
A big shock, hey? We met friends.
We had a quarrel.
It was It was just different this time.
It was Julie but it wasn't Julie.
Then, one of her friends rang about a party or something .
.
and we went to a party.
Where was the party? I'm just trying to think now.
I don't remember what they called it some big house erm I've been looking at Oliver's phone.
GPS records confirm him coming south on the motorway as he said.
Then, he was at Jez's flat, but after that his phone, and presumably him as well, moved to a location in East London and stayed there until morning.
I've had local uniform check out around that area and there were complaints of a noisy party in the middle of that radius.
Good work.
You're on fire today! Excuse me.
Hi there.
Hi.
Party last night? Yeah, you could say that.
How's the head? A little bit rough.
What's your name? Emily.
Emily what? Parkins.
My name is Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
I'd love to come in.
Erm Thanks.
Two seconds, that's it.
Thank you.
Where did you say your parents had gone? France.
Right.
They are back soonish I just want to show you a few pictures.
Excuse me, excuse me sorry- I want to show you a few pictures and give you a few names to see if there's anyone you recognise from the party.
This is a guy called Oliver.
Erm maybe.
I don't know.
It spiralled out of control.
A girl called Mandy.
Again, I want to say no but I mean, could have been.
A guy called Jez.
Any of these names ringing any bells? As I said, things got out of hand.
It was busy, there was drink.
It was only supposed to be a few people and And it got Yeah.
We've got a few more questions to ask.
It might be nice to sit around the table.
Thanks.
I make a great cup of tea.
SOCOs? Yes! My colleagues, the SOCOs, have the authority to search your premises.
This is beyond ridiculous! My parents are back any minute! Your home may have been a crime scene.
Is this really necessary? Yes! Sarge? Yes? Can I borrow you for a sec? What happened is nothing to do with me! We'll be the judge of that, Emily.
Hold on! Yeah? We have blood on the door frame.
Just down here, we're getting a sample now.
We're gonna rush that through.
OK.
Good work, guys.
Emily, I'm going to pick your brain for a few more details to run over.
Best not to do it here while the SOCOs are working.
Let's do it at the station.
You want me to come to the station? I'll drive you right there.
My parents are due back any minute! I'm gonna- I've complied with everything! Is this necessary? Yes, absolutely necessary.
Charlie, can you call them? Yeah.
I'll ask you to sit down please, Emily.
I found something interesting on your phone.
Who is in this photo? Me.
You and who else? I don't know.
I don't recognise them.
You look very friendly with all of them.
Well, I was wasted! Let's start with this guy.
Drunkenness is not a defence of your actions.
Who is this guy? Potentially gatecrashers.
I don't know these people.
That is Jez Collins who was attacked in your house who is now dead.
You, him together in a photo looking very- It's nothing to do with me.
I don't remember, I was wasted.
So was everyone! We found traces of Jez's blood upstairs in your house.
Any fights take place? I'd hope not.
Erm, but I couldn't say.
I skipped out.
I don't know what time it was.
In the early hours of the morning.
So you left the house? Yeah, to get some food and- To go where? The 24/7 on Ferndale Road.
Emily, I'm not satisfied with the answers you're giving me.
What do you want me to say? I believe you are lying.
I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
You're arresting me?! Based on a photograph, you are arresting me? It's a photograph! What do you want me to say?! Do you understand? What else do you want me to say? Do you understand? No, I don't! This is absolutely ridiculous! Do you have any idea what's gonna happen when my parents get involved? I look forward to talking to them.
Come with me.
Emily Perkins' house is definitely the scene of the crime.
I've got SOCOs there now going through bin bags at the front.
She was doing a huge cleanup.
Maybe she's thrown out incriminating evidence.
They found Oliver Hemingway's DNA in the house.
They found Mandy Granger's DNA in the house.
If we can figure out what happened at the party, we can figure out who attacked Jez, and hopefully figure out what's happened to Mandy and where she is.
I have news.
The blood in the boot of Oliver's car belongs to Jez.
That's a definite now.
We've also got Mandy's DNA in his car.
So, do we now think that a man scorned bludgeoned his ex-fiance to death for being trans, and also, could he attack Mandy? This girl was at the party.
Her DNA was there.
All right? Do you remember her being at the party? No! Thank you.
Do you remember her being in your car? No! Definitely- I've got her DNA in your car.
Why would that be? Hm? Why Why did you have Jez's blood in your car? I don't know! Please, I can't look at them! I've been looking at the different routes Oliver would have taken from the party to the park where he slept and then on to the bus station.
I found CCT footage.
What's he doing? He's distressed.
Oh, guilty conscience.
Yeah, there's definitely something going on.
I have news.
The tyre marks at the deposition site do not come from Andrew Granger's taxi.
They belong to Oliver Hemingway's car.
OK.
Something terrible happened at that party? Yeah.
What happened? I was in the garden on my own.
Everything was spinning.
I heard a scream.
It was awful.
I didn't even think about Julie.
I just freaked out.
Emily was there.
She took the keys out of my pocket.
Why didn't you stop her? I don't know.
I was off my head.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I didn't know what they were.
I just ran and ran and I was confused and scared.
You ran away from the very person you love and heard the screaming? Yeah! It could have made a big difference.
Maybe it would have changed everything, Oliver.
I have to live with that! But I promise you now, I did not touch that girl.
Please, you've got to believe me! Do you think Emily took your car to the waste ground? I don't know.
Did you see her put anything in the back of your car? I didn't see anything.
She seemed like a nice girl.
This nonsense, "I'm in a hurry.
My parents are coming from France.
" They don't come back till next week, I checked.
Look, the stupid cow is cleaning up the crime scene! The SOCOs have been going through those bin bags.
I think we found the murder weapon, a beer bottle covered in blood.
I fast tracked it to Forensics to see if it's a match to Jez's blood and to see if we can get fingerprints to find out the DNA of the attacker.
SOCO is still down there? Get them to pull out all of her footwear.
Yes, boss.
Boss? Boss.
Oliver's trainers don't match the injuries on Jez's face, but Emily is fucked, we've got her DNA in the neck of the bottle.
We can also match Emily's footmarks with the marks on Jez's face, with one of the set of marks on Jez's face.
These ones, but not these ones.
We've got two lots of marks? We've got two attackers.
Erm, OK.
Belt and braces.
I want to know if Emily's DNA is in Oliver's car.
I suspect it is.
Yep.
We have your DNA all over the neck of a broken beer bottle.
We have Jez Collins's DNA all over the base of the broken beer bottle.
We believe you used that beer bottle to smash Jez's face in.
We believe that you stamped your foot all over his face.
We have the marks here on his face to prove that.
These are your trainers, are they not? No comment.
This is a picture taken from the car that was used to transport him from the party to the deposition scene.
Your DNA is all over the steering wheel.
Your DNA is all over the bo- I want my lawyer.
Did you drive the car? I want my lawyer! Marco attacked Jez.
Marco attacked Jez? No, you attacked Jez.
No, I just told you! Marco attacked Jez.
That's why he's not here.
That's why he's on the run.
Where is he? I don't know! I don't know but I know he's on the run and I know why.
Who are these people here? That's Jez.
That's you.
Who's that? That's Marco.
Sarge, we know that Mandy Granger was at that party.
Her DNA is in the house.
We know she is linked to that group via Jez.
Maybe they were in a relationship.
We also know that Marco is linked to that group, so what if they are the same person? Otherwise, Marco and Mandy would be in that picture separately.
Boss, come here, please? I'm in a hurry.
Marco and Mandy, are they the same person? What are you talking about? Look at the photos, Marco and Mandy.
OK, now I feel stupid.
It'll just make sense of what's otherwise an odd relationship between a 16-year-old schoolgirl and a 21-year-old transgender guy from Burnley.
Let me get these two photos sent off to Facial Recognition.
Is what we're saying, we should be looking for Marco not Mandy? Well, what's worrying me though is if Jez was attacked for being transgender and murdered for being transgender, has the same happened to Mandy? I often have to tell people things that might be quite distressing, but please understand I only do what's absolutely necessary to whatever investigation we're doing, OK? This is a photo taken of Mandy yesterday evening at a party but she was dressed as a boy and going under the name Marco, so we think that she is a transgender person.
Look, I knew about this erm I'm sorry.
I should have told you.
Yeah, you should have! You must understand, I couldn't tell you in front of Andrew.
Can you not see how that's incredibly important? We've had people out there looking for Mandy who might be very hurt.
We've been looking for a girl when she very likely, seeing as she was last night dressed as a boy.
That's really important! Yeah, but I couldn't tell you! If Andrew finds out then I I couldn't tell you.
Do you think there is any way he has found out? I really hope not.
Did you know about this? Did you know that Mandy wanted to be a boy? Was living as a boy? No.
Where is your little girl, Andrew, where is she? I don't know where she is, right! I don't know anything about this transvestite bollocks! All I know is that she's missing and I want to find her! What have you got against transgender people? Nothing.
Why did you attack Jez Collins? Was it because, I mean, did you? Did you fall for Jez? Did you suddenly realise in the throes of passion Jez was actually Julie? How did it make you feel? No comment.
Marco was also transgender.
No, he wasn't! Yes, he was.
NO, he wasn't! Yes, he was.
Marco was also called Mandy.
Mandy was Marco.
Marco was Mandy.
How does that make you feel You're lying! .
.
to have two transgender people dupe you? You're lying! Did it make you feel a bit silly? You're lying! Marco is a guy! Obviously, the nature of the crime means that we are charging you for Jez's murder.
It's also been classed as a hate crime.
I didn't do it! In this country a hate crime is dealt with a very severe sentence.
I didn't fucking- I'm gonna charge you with Jez Collins's murder.
These are trainers Marco was wearing.
That pattern on the bottom was starting to look familiar so I had Tech enlarge so we can now see it more clearly.
This matches the pattern of the other set of footmarks on Jez's face which was the fatal stamp.
So it's looking like, Marco, Mandy, however you want to say it, did kill Jez.
Natalie? Natalie, it's the police.
Open the door.
Charlie, what did you get on at the Granger house? Nothing, there was no-one there.
I reckon she's done a runner.
Oh, really?! Put her bank on high alert.
Yes.
Do we think Natalie and Mandy are working together? Right Or in it together at least? What if Mandy Granger is alive and well but hiding, Natalie has known this all along.
If we figure out where Natalie is, we figure out where Mandy is.
Andrew, I'm gonna level with you.
I need your help.
I can place Marco at the scene of the attack.
I can also place Marco at the dumping of the victim's body.
Do you understand? It's very serious, Andrew and this is your kid we're talking about.
You help me because I don't know where she is.
You're wasting my time and your time.
You said to me that you think, you know whatever, that Mandy or whatever the fuck you want to call her, you said she is involved in this crime.
You basically said you know I've got nothing to do with it so why am I still sat here wasting my time and yours? OK, let's issue an all ports for Natalie and Marco.
To be honest, I've got a feeling Andrew knows exactly where both of them are.
So, plan is I want you, Jack, to release Andrew, OK? Bail him? Bail him but follow him.
- Control, this is Weston.
- Control, go ahead.
Suspect spotted entering pub on Street.
Weston maintaining eyeball on main entrance.
- All received? - Received.
Control, this is Weston.
Go ahead.
Subject on the move.
Looks a bit pissed to be honest.
Now the vehicle heading northbound on street.
Standby for further updates.
CID to DS Weston.
Weston, go ahead.
We have intel Natalie Granger.
She has a part-time job at a hardware store on street.
I'm two streets away now.
Looks like Granger is heading that way.
I'm on my way.
I'll bring back up.
Subject Andrew Granger now on foot.
DS Weston- Andrew! Andrew! - Did you know?! - Natalie! Natalie! Andrew, do you mean to harm your own child just for being different? Let go! Listen to them, Andrew.
Don't talk to me! Don't look at me! And you, I never want to see you again! It's OK.
It's OK.
- Control, DC Steele.
- Go ahead.
Subject is on foot toward the back of the premises.
More units required.
He's coming to into the rear yard.
Received.
Andrew Granger.
Andrew Granger.
You're under arrest.
Do you understand? Do you understand? YES! Moron.
Get up.
Hold onto him.
Hold onto him.
You're just making it more difficult for yourself.
What do you want me to call you, Mandy or Marco? What are you more comfortable with? Marco.
We have forensic evidence to say that yourself and Emily are both responsible for the death of Jez Collins.
Do you understand the situation? Do you understand how serious it is? I also need you to understand that what you need to do now, the only thing you can really do now is talk to me, all right? Just tell me exactly what happened.
Let's start with the party.
What happened there? We were all high and drunk.
Emily fancied Jez and just kept coming on to Jez.
They went to Emily's room.
I just heard screaming.
I ran in there.
Emily must have found out.
Found out what? She must have found out that Jez was trans.
Was Jez hurt when you went into the room or was Jez fighting back or? He was on the floor.
Emily was hitting him with a bottle.
So, at that point did you think to get help or? She told me to join in.
So I did.
What did you do? I kicked him.
I kicked him.
Emily told me to get everyone out of the party.
Then we put him in the back of the car.
In Oliver's car? Yeah.
OK, and where did you go? We just dumped him.
Emily told me to strip him.
And then she drove off.
Is that when you rang 9-9-9? When Marco phoned me and said erm, what had happened to that poor boy .
.
I didn't know how bad it was.
I just told Marco to wait for me, to-to-to get rid of his clothes and have a shower and I would pick him up and take him to the hardware store and he would wait there for me.
I was just panicking.
I didn't know what to do.
In the morning Andrew came in and said .
.
"Mandy isn't there.
Missing.
" And, I, I had to play along with it.
I had no choice.
I was just trying to work out what to do.
That makes a lot of sense of how you were in the hospital, especially in comparison to Andrew who was quite distressed and you were just, I thought, quite strangely calm.
Of course I knew it wasn't Mandy in that bed.
I didn't know Yeah.
I didn't know how badly beaten up that poor boy was.
Natalie, I'm gonna level with you.
It's very likely you'll go to prison for perverting the course of justice.
That's gonna be really hard to get around.
Yeah well What else could I have done? I had to think about Marco.
I had to keep Marco safe.
If Andrew found out about Marco, I don't know what he would do.
I mean, he'd never been violent towards, towards his Mandy, you know.
It was, it was only ever at me but If you found out about who Marco really- You should've come to us, Natalie.
Andrew would have known I'd have come to you.
But, we've come to the same place, haven't we? Only it's worse because you're going to prison.
Andrew's likely going to prison.
Mandy's not going to have an easy time.
All I've ever wanted to do is keep Mandy safe.
I'm not gonna be able to do that now, am I? If she goes to prison .
.
pretending to be Marco or whoever I mean What are they going to do to her in there? What will .
.
give Marco courage in prison is knowing that he will have a father waiting for him once his sentence is served.
I'm a bit strapped for cash, so can you pay for tonight? Apparently it's my round? Oh, I'd love to.
I've got parents evening.
My kids have forgotten what I look like.
See you later.
Well done.
Save us! How do you feel about having kids, Jack? I used to think I really wanted kids and then The shit you see in this job and you just think, "What is the fucking point?" I'd love kids.
Really? I'm not saying I'd be a great father but I'd love kids.
Would you consider some Irish babies? We'll make beautiful music together.
Are you flirting with me? No.
It is entirely unrequited.
I'm saying the offer is there.
I'm just gonna grab one of those sexual harassment forms! The victim is 43-year-old Reverend Daniel Matthews.
Police, open up.
I've got a warrant to search your home.
We're looking for a firearm.
Step aside.
Walker.
65, widow.
What are you talking about? What's he talking about? Is it your first day? Have you got any questions for me? Is this meant to be a date? Jack, Jack, Jack! Yeah? Oh, hang on! Now we know where Dean Price was attacked.
I need a timeline of your movements.
This family's been through a lot.
Shut up! Camilla! Internet referral from Crimestoppers had anonymous form saying the missing soldier is dead.
I gave you so many opportunities to tell me the truth! All right, stick together.
Police have yet to identify the victim and are appealing for witnesses to what they describe as a brutal attack.
The victim is female, found here at 6.
00am.
Serious injuries to head and face.
Paramedics have lost her heartbeat once so I reckon we're looking at a murder enquiry.
Oh, poor girl.
Mr and Mrs Green, I understand we are here to talk about your daughter, Mandy Granger.
So, tell me about when you discovered she was missing- We've done this at the front desk.
We have to run through it again.
At eight this morning I went to take her a cup of tea, she wasn't there.
When was the last time you saw her? About six last night before I went to work.
That was the last time I saw her.
Erm, last night we were at home.
Erm, I was quite tired.
I went to bed quite early.
Nine, nineish, nine thirty, something like that.
She was still up watching TV.
- Did she seem all right, happy? - She was fine.
Yeah.
Found naked.
Have yet to do a sweep of the entire area but the initial search suggests that the attacker or attackers took the victim's clothing with them.
So they know what they're doing.
Have you managed to get any basics on the victim? Yes, she is mid to late teens.
Five foot six and short, brown hair.
No wallet found, so no ideas yet.
Thank you.
She's had her hair cut since then.
I'll make a note of that.
Yes, it's a bit shorter.
Quite a lot shorter.
Gorgeous girl.
Has Mandy ever stayed away before? Maybe snuck out to see friends or a boyfriend perhaps? She doesn't have a boyfriend! She's 16 years old.
She's a child.
She's not snuck away, run away.
All this shit is wasting time.
Something has happened to her.
I can see blood splatter analysis isn't consistent with the victim's injuries.
I'm thinking this waste ground is where the body was dumped.
Now we're on the lookout for a crime scene where the attack took place.
SOCO has found some tyre tracks in the soil.
They're fresh.
Rained last night.
He's getting a mould of the track to figure out the type of tyre.
Hopefully we can figure out the type of car used to dump the body.
Victim is mid to late teens.
Female.
Short, brown hair.
Found this morning at six with serious injuries to face and head.
We know she has brain damage, also possible sexual assault.
The parents I've been talking to they've not seen their daughter since nine last night.
She's about that age, that height.
Short, brown hair.
What's her name? Mandy Granger.
On the board? Yeah.
These photographs I had fast tracked in from the hospital.
I'm also waiting on forensic photos of the rest of the body.
Also, one of a tattoo apparently on the victim's wrist.
A fresh tattoo.
There's Clingfilm on top of it.
Does Mandy have a tattoo? Her parents didn't mention one.
The parents may not know.
You're going to have to take them down to intensive care I'm afraid.
See if that's their little girl OK? Yeah.
I can't do it.
Are you OK? Do you want me to go? Yeah.
Yeah? It's all right.
Can I go on my own? Do you need both of us? No, if you're prepared to do so that's fine but are you sure you're happy to go in alone? Yeah.
OK.
That's fine.
You can wait here.
All right.
TIU have traced the 9-9-9 phone call to an area close to where the victim was dumped, press play.
Please, help my friend! Don't suppose we have a number for this? Guess who it is? Who? Mandy Granger.
Our missing girl? Yeah.
- Thank you.
- It's not Mandy.
It's OK.
Good.
Erm, my DI has asked me to take you home.
She's on her way there.
She wants to talk to you.
Why is that? To be honest, I'm not sure.
It may be something she wants to share with you in person.
At the house? Yes.
Yes.
OK, after you.
Thanks.
Charlie? The girl in ITU isn't Mandy Granger.
Mum, Natalie, is very sure of that.
Relief for them.
However, it was Mandy's phone that called 9-9-9.
We know that much.
OK.
I've had a dig around on the parents.
So, mum, Natalie Granger, she's clean, but the dad, Andrew Granger, has a couple of D&Ds and an ABH.
Basically, that was from a pub.
There was an argument and a glassing basically.
It got nasty.
What's your instincts on them? I'm not massively surprised about that to be honest.
He's incredibly aggressive and he walks all over Natalie, absolutely controls her.
He couldn't face going into ITU to see the girl, which I think is a little bit odd.
I'm gonna get you to listen to this for me.
Please, help my friend! - Is that Mandy? - Yeah.
100% sure? Yes! It's likely the friend she is referring to is the girl you saw earlier in ITU, Natalie.
OK, we don't know who she is- What happens now? Look, I'm not going to lie.
The connection between the victim and Mandy is a concern for us.
Just a little bit, yeah.
Let me reassure you of one thing all right? Most girls of Mandy's sort of age, they come home safe, back to the family.
Most girls, not all of them! A local tattooist got in touch.
He said 48 hours ago he inked a tattoo like that one, certainly very like that one, on someone's wrist.
That looks like it could be Mandy.
It looks like, doesn't it? The bloke that's with her according to the tattooist, that's the guy who got it done, the tattoo.
That's not our victim so maybe the tattoo is a dead end.
I chased the credit card used to pay for the tattoo.
It's registered to a J Collins.
Someone has kicked the door in.
Yeah.
Police, we're coming in.
Gloves on.
I'm going to check upstairs.
Hello? All clear down here.
I'm going to make a start in the kitchen.
Jack? Yep? There are two bottles of testosterone in the cupboard.
What's that for, bodybuilding? Hang on, give me that.
Wait.
Give me that.
This belongs to Julie Collins.
Male clothes, male hormones.
She's gone for a sex change.
So, who kicked the door down? I'm willing to bet a lot of money it was Andrew Granger.
If he finds out Mandy has got a boyfriend who was a girl who's having a sex change, he's gonna hit the roof.
Now we know that Jez Collins was in fact born Julie Collins.
From back records came from Burnley where she lived with her parents.
Moved down to London on, take note, the seventh of June, 2014.
Ah, a momentous day worthy enough of a tattoo.
I wonder why the tattooist didn't twig though? In close proximity with someone and you don't realise he is a she? It's confidence.
Dresses like a bloke, looks like a bloke.
If you can convince yourself you'll convince other people too.
Yeah.
He was convinced.
From now on we're gonna refer to the victim as Jez.
I have spoken to Jez's parents, a very difficult phone call.
What they did know was that Jez was in fact transgender, so that was a bombshell I didn't have to drop.
However, they're heading down from Burnley and they have got a terrible decision to make to decide whether to turn the life machine off or not.
So, we are dealing with a murder investigation.
I got onto TFL to chase up Jez Collins' Oyster card.
He topped it up at this newsagent's.
He's with Mandy Granger! Hold on, let me fast forward.
Look at this.
Andrew Granger.
Mandy's dad.
He completely failed to mention that little falling out.
We knew he was violent but this also makes him a liar.
Mr Granger, can I have a quick word? Have you found her? I'm afraid we are going to have to arrest you for the suspected murder of Jez Collins.
Are you being serious? Are you being serious?! Oh, wonderful police work There's one, two, three, four, five, six people who could be-Fuck off! Who could be out looking for my daughter! Get off me! Get him down on the ground.
I'm arresting you for the suspected abduction of your daughter Mandy Granger.
You do not have to say anything that would harm your defence.
If you do not mention something which you later rely on in court anything you say may be given in evidence, understand? Yep.
Joe, get a full forensic lift on the vehicle of Mr Granger's car.
Let's put them him in the back of the van.
Are you going somewhere? No, I was just erm Yeah, I was just going to go and see my mum.
What if Mandy comes home? It might be nice for you to be here if she does.
No, she'd know I'm at my mum's.
Natalie I'm sorry, I'm just not thinking straight.
I just need a minute.
OK.
I know from social services that you and Mandy moved into a refuge for about three months last year.
Talk to me about that- I don't want to talk about that.
It has nothing to do with why Mandy's gone now.
With all due respect, it kind of is because the relationship between Mandy and her father, if indeed he's the reason you moved out, is important for us in understanding where Mandy might be and why she might have gone.
When he drinks, it brings out the worst in him and erm Yes, last year we went through a very bad time and I had to go to a refuge.
He was violent towards you? Yes, he was.
OK.
It's important for me to understand Mandy's situation, her circumstances at the moment.
Do you know anyone called Jez? Is that a name you're familiar with? We think this might be Mandy's boyfriend.
I don't know if it's her boyfriend but yeah I've heard her speak to someone called Jez on the phone.
I've never met him.
I don't know.
Did you know that Jez, we think at least is a pre-op transgender person? He used to be called Julie.
He started as a female and is in the process of becoming a male.
No.
No, that's news to me.
Do you think Andrew knew or could have known? If he did, how do you think he'd feel about that? He wouldn't He wouldn't like that at all, no.
OK.
Keep pushing.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, that's my car and that's me.
Getting out of the car.
You, Andrew Granger? Yeah.
Why were you there? Why was I there? Yeah.
Picking up Mandy.
After school? Yeah.
Talk me through what happens next.
What's that? That's me moving this lad out the way.
In a threatening manner.
You tried to head-butt him.
I'm not trying to head-butt anybody! If I had tried to head-butt him I would have fucking- Calm down.
We're trying to help you find your daughter.
You're not! You wasting time sitting here with me.
Going through bits of fucking- Why are you so pissed off anyway? That lad called me a very, very rude word.
The guy's name was Jez.
We think Jez was Mandy's boyfriend.
Mandy doesn't have boyfriends.
You can take that shit.
Hang on, I'm not finished yet.
Mr Granger We also know that Jez was in fact born Julie Collins.
What does that mean? He's a transvestite? No, transgender.
Born as a girl.
And pretending to be a boy? Wants to become a guy.
He's in the middle of a sex change.
We think that you knew Jez was Mandy's boyfriend.
We also think, more humiliatingly, that you knew that Jez was a pre-op transgender.
We think you followed him home, broke into his house.
We think you assaulted him and left him with serious head injuries, face injuries, and dumped him on a waste ground, that's what we think.
So, prove me wrong.
What have you done with Mandy? Hey? What? Where is she? What have you done with her? Ask me that again.
What have you done with- I have done fuck all! This is the sick fuck you should be looking for! Don't even fucking dare! Don't you dare! Oh, guys, Jez's parents have just turned off the life-support machine.
I'm gonna let them say their goodbyes and then get a post-mortem.
Hopefully we'll get clues from that and pray to God that we don't find Mandy in the same state.
Yeah.
The forensics from the break-in at Jez's place been incredibly useful, so DNA from Mandy Granger, very prominent, which is no surprise if they were in a relationship.
What about Andrew Granger? Nothing on Andrew.
But, there is DNA from this guy.
His name is Oliver Hemingway.
He has a conviction for assault in Burnley from a couple of years ago which is where Jez is from.
Mr Hemingway drove in the congestion charging zone yesterday at 10.
00am.
His car has not left it yet but FIU told me he bought a coach ticket this morning back home at about 6.
00am.
Why would he do that? Beats me.
The next stop on the coach is Oxford.
He's on it.
I've got uniform driving to pick him up.
Empty your pockets for me, please.
Thank you.
Can you get the sent to Tech? I want to know what's on it.
Sarge, Tech have recovered the deleted data from Oliver's phone.
It also pulled up this stream of abusive text messages he sent to Jez when he was driving to London.
I think it's fair to say he took the break up badly to put it mildly.
The boss is talking to him about it now.
"I would have done anything to make you happy "and yet you treat me like shit.
" "You fucking, horrible bitch, Julie.
" That was you sending that on the way down the motorway heading towards her flat.
Remember that? How angry were you? Because if you were that angry heading down there, fuck knows what you'd have felt like when you realised that your girlfriend was now your boyfriend.
Are you mad?! I absolutely worshipped the ground she walked on! You think I could have hurt a hair on her head? You think that I would ever harm her? Yeah, I sent some fucking nasty messages cos I was hurt! I was heart broke! Yeah, OK.
How long is that gonna be? Have you got anything on first look? Definitely Oliver Hemingway's car.
Found abandoned a mile or so away from the crime scene.
I'd be certain this is the car used to transport Jez to the waste ground mainly because we've got some claret in the back.
I've sent some samples to the lab to see if it belongs to Jez.
I'm getting these guys to sweep the car for fingerprints and DNA belonging to Mandy to see if she was transported in the same vehicle.
Great.
Good work, Jack.
Oliver, go back and tell us exactly what happened.
Over the last 24 hours, all right? I just thought we'd be able to get back together and .
.
make it work.
Did she know you were coming? - I loved her.
- I loved her so much.
Did you break into her flat? I just wanted to see her! I sat, I waited, she came home.
She was pissed off.
She was angry.
Was there a fight? No! I'd never hurt her.
She said that she'd been feeling strange and she wasn't happy.
She said that she loved me .
.
but she couldn't be with me any more.
She kept saying I wouldn't understand.
She wanted to be a boy.
How did that feel when you heard that? Weird.
A big shock, hey? We met friends.
We had a quarrel.
It was It was just different this time.
It was Julie but it wasn't Julie.
Then, one of her friends rang about a party or something .
.
and we went to a party.
Where was the party? I'm just trying to think now.
I don't remember what they called it some big house erm I've been looking at Oliver's phone.
GPS records confirm him coming south on the motorway as he said.
Then, he was at Jez's flat, but after that his phone, and presumably him as well, moved to a location in East London and stayed there until morning.
I've had local uniform check out around that area and there were complaints of a noisy party in the middle of that radius.
Good work.
You're on fire today! Excuse me.
Hi there.
Hi.
Party last night? Yeah, you could say that.
How's the head? A little bit rough.
What's your name? Emily.
Emily what? Parkins.
My name is Detective Sergeant Jack Weston.
I'd love to come in.
Erm Thanks.
Two seconds, that's it.
Thank you.
Where did you say your parents had gone? France.
Right.
They are back soonish I just want to show you a few pictures.
Excuse me, excuse me sorry- I want to show you a few pictures and give you a few names to see if there's anyone you recognise from the party.
This is a guy called Oliver.
Erm maybe.
I don't know.
It spiralled out of control.
A girl called Mandy.
Again, I want to say no but I mean, could have been.
A guy called Jez.
Any of these names ringing any bells? As I said, things got out of hand.
It was busy, there was drink.
It was only supposed to be a few people and And it got Yeah.
We've got a few more questions to ask.
It might be nice to sit around the table.
Thanks.
I make a great cup of tea.
SOCOs? Yes! My colleagues, the SOCOs, have the authority to search your premises.
This is beyond ridiculous! My parents are back any minute! Your home may have been a crime scene.
Is this really necessary? Yes! Sarge? Yes? Can I borrow you for a sec? What happened is nothing to do with me! We'll be the judge of that, Emily.
Hold on! Yeah? We have blood on the door frame.
Just down here, we're getting a sample now.
We're gonna rush that through.
OK.
Good work, guys.
Emily, I'm going to pick your brain for a few more details to run over.
Best not to do it here while the SOCOs are working.
Let's do it at the station.
You want me to come to the station? I'll drive you right there.
My parents are due back any minute! I'm gonna- I've complied with everything! Is this necessary? Yes, absolutely necessary.
Charlie, can you call them? Yeah.
I'll ask you to sit down please, Emily.
I found something interesting on your phone.
Who is in this photo? Me.
You and who else? I don't know.
I don't recognise them.
You look very friendly with all of them.
Well, I was wasted! Let's start with this guy.
Drunkenness is not a defence of your actions.
Who is this guy? Potentially gatecrashers.
I don't know these people.
That is Jez Collins who was attacked in your house who is now dead.
You, him together in a photo looking very- It's nothing to do with me.
I don't remember, I was wasted.
So was everyone! We found traces of Jez's blood upstairs in your house.
Any fights take place? I'd hope not.
Erm, but I couldn't say.
I skipped out.
I don't know what time it was.
In the early hours of the morning.
So you left the house? Yeah, to get some food and- To go where? The 24/7 on Ferndale Road.
Emily, I'm not satisfied with the answers you're giving me.
What do you want me to say? I believe you are lying.
I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
You're arresting me?! Based on a photograph, you are arresting me? It's a photograph! What do you want me to say?! Do you understand? What else do you want me to say? Do you understand? No, I don't! This is absolutely ridiculous! Do you have any idea what's gonna happen when my parents get involved? I look forward to talking to them.
Come with me.
Emily Perkins' house is definitely the scene of the crime.
I've got SOCOs there now going through bin bags at the front.
She was doing a huge cleanup.
Maybe she's thrown out incriminating evidence.
They found Oliver Hemingway's DNA in the house.
They found Mandy Granger's DNA in the house.
If we can figure out what happened at the party, we can figure out who attacked Jez, and hopefully figure out what's happened to Mandy and where she is.
I have news.
The blood in the boot of Oliver's car belongs to Jez.
That's a definite now.
We've also got Mandy's DNA in his car.
So, do we now think that a man scorned bludgeoned his ex-fiance to death for being trans, and also, could he attack Mandy? This girl was at the party.
Her DNA was there.
All right? Do you remember her being at the party? No! Thank you.
Do you remember her being in your car? No! Definitely- I've got her DNA in your car.
Why would that be? Hm? Why Why did you have Jez's blood in your car? I don't know! Please, I can't look at them! I've been looking at the different routes Oliver would have taken from the party to the park where he slept and then on to the bus station.
I found CCT footage.
What's he doing? He's distressed.
Oh, guilty conscience.
Yeah, there's definitely something going on.
I have news.
The tyre marks at the deposition site do not come from Andrew Granger's taxi.
They belong to Oliver Hemingway's car.
OK.
Something terrible happened at that party? Yeah.
What happened? I was in the garden on my own.
Everything was spinning.
I heard a scream.
It was awful.
I didn't even think about Julie.
I just freaked out.
Emily was there.
She took the keys out of my pocket.
Why didn't you stop her? I don't know.
I was off my head.
I didn't know what I was doing.
I didn't know what they were.
I just ran and ran and I was confused and scared.
You ran away from the very person you love and heard the screaming? Yeah! It could have made a big difference.
Maybe it would have changed everything, Oliver.
I have to live with that! But I promise you now, I did not touch that girl.
Please, you've got to believe me! Do you think Emily took your car to the waste ground? I don't know.
Did you see her put anything in the back of your car? I didn't see anything.
She seemed like a nice girl.
This nonsense, "I'm in a hurry.
My parents are coming from France.
" They don't come back till next week, I checked.
Look, the stupid cow is cleaning up the crime scene! The SOCOs have been going through those bin bags.
I think we found the murder weapon, a beer bottle covered in blood.
I fast tracked it to Forensics to see if it's a match to Jez's blood and to see if we can get fingerprints to find out the DNA of the attacker.
SOCO is still down there? Get them to pull out all of her footwear.
Yes, boss.
Boss? Boss.
Oliver's trainers don't match the injuries on Jez's face, but Emily is fucked, we've got her DNA in the neck of the bottle.
We can also match Emily's footmarks with the marks on Jez's face, with one of the set of marks on Jez's face.
These ones, but not these ones.
We've got two lots of marks? We've got two attackers.
Erm, OK.
Belt and braces.
I want to know if Emily's DNA is in Oliver's car.
I suspect it is.
Yep.
We have your DNA all over the neck of a broken beer bottle.
We have Jez Collins's DNA all over the base of the broken beer bottle.
We believe you used that beer bottle to smash Jez's face in.
We believe that you stamped your foot all over his face.
We have the marks here on his face to prove that.
These are your trainers, are they not? No comment.
This is a picture taken from the car that was used to transport him from the party to the deposition scene.
Your DNA is all over the steering wheel.
Your DNA is all over the bo- I want my lawyer.
Did you drive the car? I want my lawyer! Marco attacked Jez.
Marco attacked Jez? No, you attacked Jez.
No, I just told you! Marco attacked Jez.
That's why he's not here.
That's why he's on the run.
Where is he? I don't know! I don't know but I know he's on the run and I know why.
Who are these people here? That's Jez.
That's you.
Who's that? That's Marco.
Sarge, we know that Mandy Granger was at that party.
Her DNA is in the house.
We know she is linked to that group via Jez.
Maybe they were in a relationship.
We also know that Marco is linked to that group, so what if they are the same person? Otherwise, Marco and Mandy would be in that picture separately.
Boss, come here, please? I'm in a hurry.
Marco and Mandy, are they the same person? What are you talking about? Look at the photos, Marco and Mandy.
OK, now I feel stupid.
It'll just make sense of what's otherwise an odd relationship between a 16-year-old schoolgirl and a 21-year-old transgender guy from Burnley.
Let me get these two photos sent off to Facial Recognition.
Is what we're saying, we should be looking for Marco not Mandy? Well, what's worrying me though is if Jez was attacked for being transgender and murdered for being transgender, has the same happened to Mandy? I often have to tell people things that might be quite distressing, but please understand I only do what's absolutely necessary to whatever investigation we're doing, OK? This is a photo taken of Mandy yesterday evening at a party but she was dressed as a boy and going under the name Marco, so we think that she is a transgender person.
Look, I knew about this erm I'm sorry.
I should have told you.
Yeah, you should have! You must understand, I couldn't tell you in front of Andrew.
Can you not see how that's incredibly important? We've had people out there looking for Mandy who might be very hurt.
We've been looking for a girl when she very likely, seeing as she was last night dressed as a boy.
That's really important! Yeah, but I couldn't tell you! If Andrew finds out then I I couldn't tell you.
Do you think there is any way he has found out? I really hope not.
Did you know about this? Did you know that Mandy wanted to be a boy? Was living as a boy? No.
Where is your little girl, Andrew, where is she? I don't know where she is, right! I don't know anything about this transvestite bollocks! All I know is that she's missing and I want to find her! What have you got against transgender people? Nothing.
Why did you attack Jez Collins? Was it because, I mean, did you? Did you fall for Jez? Did you suddenly realise in the throes of passion Jez was actually Julie? How did it make you feel? No comment.
Marco was also transgender.
No, he wasn't! Yes, he was.
NO, he wasn't! Yes, he was.
Marco was also called Mandy.
Mandy was Marco.
Marco was Mandy.
How does that make you feel You're lying! .
.
to have two transgender people dupe you? You're lying! Did it make you feel a bit silly? You're lying! Marco is a guy! Obviously, the nature of the crime means that we are charging you for Jez's murder.
It's also been classed as a hate crime.
I didn't do it! In this country a hate crime is dealt with a very severe sentence.
I didn't fucking- I'm gonna charge you with Jez Collins's murder.
These are trainers Marco was wearing.
That pattern on the bottom was starting to look familiar so I had Tech enlarge so we can now see it more clearly.
This matches the pattern of the other set of footmarks on Jez's face which was the fatal stamp.
So it's looking like, Marco, Mandy, however you want to say it, did kill Jez.
Natalie? Natalie, it's the police.
Open the door.
Charlie, what did you get on at the Granger house? Nothing, there was no-one there.
I reckon she's done a runner.
Oh, really?! Put her bank on high alert.
Yes.
Do we think Natalie and Mandy are working together? Right Or in it together at least? What if Mandy Granger is alive and well but hiding, Natalie has known this all along.
If we figure out where Natalie is, we figure out where Mandy is.
Andrew, I'm gonna level with you.
I need your help.
I can place Marco at the scene of the attack.
I can also place Marco at the dumping of the victim's body.
Do you understand? It's very serious, Andrew and this is your kid we're talking about.
You help me because I don't know where she is.
You're wasting my time and your time.
You said to me that you think, you know whatever, that Mandy or whatever the fuck you want to call her, you said she is involved in this crime.
You basically said you know I've got nothing to do with it so why am I still sat here wasting my time and yours? OK, let's issue an all ports for Natalie and Marco.
To be honest, I've got a feeling Andrew knows exactly where both of them are.
So, plan is I want you, Jack, to release Andrew, OK? Bail him? Bail him but follow him.

I'm on my way.
I'll bring back up.
Subject Andrew Granger now on foot.
DS Weston- Andrew! Andrew! - Did you know?! - Natalie! Natalie! Andrew, do you mean to harm your own child just for being different? Let go! Listen to them, Andrew.
Don't talk to me! Don't look at me! And you, I never want to see you again! It's OK.
It's OK.

Andrew Granger.
Andrew Granger.
You're under arrest.
Do you understand? Do you understand? YES! Moron.
Get up.
Hold onto him.
Hold onto him.
You're just making it more difficult for yourself.
What do you want me to call you, Mandy or Marco? What are you more comfortable with? Marco.
We have forensic evidence to say that yourself and Emily are both responsible for the death of Jez Collins.
Do you understand the situation? Do you understand how serious it is? I also need you to understand that what you need to do now, the only thing you can really do now is talk to me, all right? Just tell me exactly what happened.
Let's start with the party.
What happened there? We were all high and drunk.
Emily fancied Jez and just kept coming on to Jez.
They went to Emily's room.
I just heard screaming.
I ran in there.
Emily must have found out.
Found out what? She must have found out that Jez was trans.
Was Jez hurt when you went into the room or was Jez fighting back or? He was on the floor.
Emily was hitting him with a bottle.
So, at that point did you think to get help or? She told me to join in.
So I did.
What did you do? I kicked him.
I kicked him.
Emily told me to get everyone out of the party.
Then we put him in the back of the car.
In Oliver's car? Yeah.
OK, and where did you go? We just dumped him.
Emily told me to strip him.
And then she drove off.
Is that when you rang 9-9-9? When Marco phoned me and said erm, what had happened to that poor boy .
.
I didn't know how bad it was.
I just told Marco to wait for me, to-to-to get rid of his clothes and have a shower and I would pick him up and take him to the hardware store and he would wait there for me.
I was just panicking.
I didn't know what to do.
In the morning Andrew came in and said .
.
"Mandy isn't there.
Missing.
" And, I, I had to play along with it.
I had no choice.
I was just trying to work out what to do.
That makes a lot of sense of how you were in the hospital, especially in comparison to Andrew who was quite distressed and you were just, I thought, quite strangely calm.
Of course I knew it wasn't Mandy in that bed.
I didn't know Yeah.
I didn't know how badly beaten up that poor boy was.
Natalie, I'm gonna level with you.
It's very likely you'll go to prison for perverting the course of justice.
That's gonna be really hard to get around.
Yeah well What else could I have done? I had to think about Marco.
I had to keep Marco safe.
If Andrew found out about Marco, I don't know what he would do.
I mean, he'd never been violent towards, towards his Mandy, you know.
It was, it was only ever at me but If you found out about who Marco really- You should've come to us, Natalie.
Andrew would have known I'd have come to you.
But, we've come to the same place, haven't we? Only it's worse because you're going to prison.
Andrew's likely going to prison.
Mandy's not going to have an easy time.
All I've ever wanted to do is keep Mandy safe.
I'm not gonna be able to do that now, am I? If she goes to prison .
.
pretending to be Marco or whoever I mean What are they going to do to her in there? What will .
.
give Marco courage in prison is knowing that he will have a father waiting for him once his sentence is served.
I'm a bit strapped for cash, so can you pay for tonight? Apparently it's my round? Oh, I'd love to.
I've got parents evening.
My kids have forgotten what I look like.
See you later.
Well done.
Save us! How do you feel about having kids, Jack? I used to think I really wanted kids and then The shit you see in this job and you just think, "What is the fucking point?" I'd love kids.
Really? I'm not saying I'd be a great father but I'd love kids.
Would you consider some Irish babies? We'll make beautiful music together.
Are you flirting with me? No.
It is entirely unrequited.
I'm saying the offer is there.
I'm just gonna grab one of those sexual harassment forms! The victim is 43-year-old Reverend Daniel Matthews.
Police, open up.
I've got a warrant to search your home.
We're looking for a firearm.
Step aside.
Walker.
65, widow.
What are you talking about? What's he talking about? Is it your first day? Have you got any questions for me? Is this meant to be a date? Jack, Jack, Jack! Yeah? Oh, hang on! Now we know where Dean Price was attacked.
I need a timeline of your movements.
This family's been through a lot.
Shut up! Camilla! Internet referral from Crimestoppers had anonymous form saying the missing soldier is dead.
I gave you so many opportunities to tell me the truth! All right, stick together.
